LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT, MONDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) Tim TROUBLES OF A NICE YOUNG MAN.---Ann Sperling was brought up for having annoyed George Hunter, employed by Messrs. Carmichael and Co. drapers, Church-street. Mr. Bluck appeared for the complainant; and Mr. Cobb for the defendant: 'lt appears that the parties met each other in Manchester, and since then they had lived together, as the defendant said, as mau and wife for three years, but when the defendant's money was all spent, he turned her and her child adrift. The truth of this statement was denied by the com plainant, who appeared very distressed. He had lost one situation through her, and he was afraid that he would lose his presni position also. The defendant was bound over to keep the peace in £lO. ATTEMPTING TO THROW , A MAN OVERBOARD.—A young man, named James Tierney, was brought up on a charge of el- un kermess and disorderly conduct, on board one of the Woodside ferry boats. The captain of the boat stated that about a quarter to nine o'clock OR Sunday evening two gentlemen called his attention to the prisoner, who was then attempting to throw a man overboard. Fined 20s and costs. "APOSTOLIC Blows AND KNocas."—Two labouring men were charged with having been fighting on Sunday, in Islington Market. The officers in charge of the case stated that the prisoners were arguing about religion, but being unable to settle the dispute by the strength of their words, they pro ceeded to blows and a hand-to-hand fight. Dismissed. Rosalie air A CLERK. -s-John Beatson, a respectably attired middle-aged man,- in.the employ of Messrs. Moore, Stationers, Islington, was brought up on a charge of having stolen a cash box. Mr. Cobb appeared for the prisoner. On Saturday after noon the prisoner went out of the Shop onbusiness, and almost immediately afterwards the oox was missed. It cantained, it was said, an insurance policy, a ten-pound note, half of a five pound note, a bank draft for £lO, and post-office orders for £1 19s. 6d. and 4s. 6d. Mr. Moore immediately gave information to Mr. Carlisle, at the police-office, where the box was brought by a constable, who had been shown it. by a little girl. On returning to the shop, the prisoner was given into custody. He desired to speak to the prosecutor, saying, "If you'll forego the charge, I'll tell you where the money is;" and prosecutor said, " Very well, tell me," when the prisoner accounted for all the contents of the box, with: the exception of the £lO note and the post-office order for Z 1 19s. 6d. The bank draft was found in the Post-office, addressed to "James Graham." The prisoner stated that the £lO note had been paid by him, at the prosecutor's request, to a Mr. Sherlock; another note to the same amount, spoken to by Mr. Moore, having been paid to the London Publishing Company. The case was remanded. - HIGHWAY ROBBERY WITS' VIOLENCE.--James Turner and Maria Smith were brought up on remand, charged with having violently robbed James Rolston, an elderly man, who had his arm in a sling. On Sunday night week, about ten o'clock, the prosecutor met a woman in Christian-street. In a few minutes the male prisoner came up, and knocked the prosecutor down and robbed him of - a watch, which he passed into the hands of the female. Two men, nettled Thos. Read and Allan Tare, saw the offence committed, and the former immediately captured the male prisoner. Tare ran after the woman, who threw the watch through a cellar grating, from which it was taken by ' Tare. The prisoners were remanded to enable the police to make inquiries respecting them. CLAIM AGAINST THE OVERSEERS OF THE PARISH OF WEST DERBY. At the County Court, yesterday, judgment was delivered in the case of Musker v. the Overseers of West Derby. The judgment was as follows :—.This Was an action brought by a collector of rates in West Derby against the overseers. The substantial :claim was , for assisting the overseers in making out the list of municipal , voters. There was another claim against them for attending the Revision Court, but I may say at once that upon that part of the case the plaintiff ought not to recover, because by the Act of Parliament the collector is bound ,to attend the Revision Court. That claim, therefore, cannot be substantiated. He had a duty thrown upon him by the Act of Parliament, and he makes a claim upon the overseers for attending to that - duty. It would have been very different if it had been shown that the overseers, in making out their bill of expenses. against the Corporation, had made a specific charge for the collector's attendance. In that case, of Course, he would be entitled to recover against them as for money had and received to his use ; but no such evidence was laid before me, and therefore it rests simply on the question whether when the plaintiff was told to attend as collector, he could claim his expenses against the overseers; and I don't think myself, that upon that part of the case he is entitled to recover. The next question—the question really before me—is whether he is entitled to recover for assisting in making out the list of municipal voters. He would not certainly have been entitled .to recover, if there had been any obligation upon him to do what he did ; but I don't apprehend there was any obligation in his appointment as collector of Fates. By his bond, which he gives, he is bound to perform all the duties prescribed, or which may here after be prescribed by the Poor-law Board, or those lawfully required of him by the guardians of the Union. I don't find that that is one of the duties he is required to perform. The overseers are the persons to make out the list ;it is not thrown upon the collector. There is nothing intis - appointment, or in the Act of Parliament, to oblige the collector to assist in that duty. It was admitted that he' had done so, and therefore they had had the advantage of his services in making out these lists. The question now is, whether they are bound .to pay him. Certainly parties may give gratuitous services, but it is not very common to do so, and slight evidence perhaps would induce a court to say that where services which parties are not bound to offer- have been performed they were under a contract to pay. In this case I think there is evidence on that point. It seems to have been the practice for some years—certainly in this case for one or two years —for collectors to assist, and then for the overseers to divide something they receive from the Corporation amongst the persons who so assist. The plaintiff ,him self has in more than one instance received money from the overseers. Therefore, inasmuch as the overseers did not repudiate paying for the work, I think it is to be maintained that he performed this work for the overseers under the same contract as on previous years, and that he has a right to be paid by them for his services. And, inasmuch as some of the overseers have paid on previous occasions—the present overseers being parties to that payment—the sum of £5 for the services he has performed, he is entitled to recover the same sum now.—A verdict was accordingly given for £5 55., that being the sum paid on previous occasions. AUSTRALIA. THE PASSAGE OF THE GREAT BRITAIN. The screw steamer Great Britain, Captain Gray, arrived off Queenstown on Sunday, making another very rapid passage from Melbourne in 58 days. This, together with her outward passage of 55 days 16 hours, is additional proof that the direct route by auxiliary clipper vessels is now brought almost to a certainty as to time. Captain Gray has, as usual, won the goodwill and confidence of his passengers, receiving, both *out wards and homewards, testimonials full of good feeling, together with handsome presents. He brought home over 500 passengers, and it is delight ful to hear how highly without exception, they speak of his attention, of the capatntities of the ship, and of all the arrangements made for their comfort—as a proof of which, all those who intend shortly returning to the colony declare their intention of going back in no other ship. For the first two days after leaving Mel bourne the ship had to contend with strong contrary winds, but afterwards bad a fine run to Cape Horn, which she rounded in 23 days; from thence to the line she encountered chiefly baffling winds, and crossed the equator in 19 days ; from thence to Queenstown she had to depend principally on her steam, meeting with strong easterly gales in the channel. From the log we learn that the greatest distance run in one day was 324 miles, and the shortest 101 miles. On only eight days was the progress less than 200 miles a day, whilst for about twelve she averaged nearly 300 miles a day. She brings saloon, 46 second-class, 173 intermediate, and 177 steerage passengers, 48,000 ounce gold, some wool, and general cargo. The gold was forwarded to London last night. Her mails were landed at Queenstown. SALOON PASSENGERS BY THE GREAT BRITAIN.— Mr. G. M'Kerrow, Mr. J. Alderson, Mr. H. Meinertz hazem, Mr. Kettle, Mr. Dailey, Mrs. Sanderson and infant, Mr. Wm.

THE STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATE FOR MANCHESTER. The Mayor of Manchester received a communication on Saturday morning from Sir G. C. Lewis, Secretary of State for the Home Department, informing him that the Queen has been pleased to appoint Cuthbert Edward Ellison, Esq., barrister-at-law, as stipendiary magistrate of the City of Manchester, in succession to Mr. Maude. Mr. Ellison is a barrister of fifteen years' standing, and is at present the police magistrate for Newcastle-on- Tyne. Mr. Ellison has been stipendiary magistrate of Newcastle since the commencement of 1864, and the local Chronicle remarks that "his courtesy, urbanity, and ability have won for hint the respect of the whole town and district." CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-YESTERDAY. Yesterday morning the May session of the Central Criminal Court was opened before the Recorder of London. The Recorder, in his charge to the grand jury, said there was one case which would come before them on two indictments, to which he must allude. It was the case of a person named Pullinger, who was charged with robbing his employers, the directors of a joint stock bank in the City. He was not aware that there was any difficulty in the case, for the evidence appeared to be tolerably clear, and the, prisoner did not appear to deny his guilt One circumstance he could not help adverting to, namely, the fact that nearly the whole of the produce of these robberies, charged in these two indictments, found their way to the stockbrokers in payment of losses incurred on the Stock Exchange. Gambling of that descriptiou under any circumstances was calculated to be mis chievous, but it appeared to him to be an exceeding impropriety, to use the mildest terms, in any stock broker to engage in transactions of that description for persons in such positions as that which Pullinger occupied without the knowledge of their employers. It was impossible that these negotiations on the Stock Exchange could be carried on by such persons without great losses occasionally, and it was hardly to be expected that persons would at all times resist the temptation, when large funds were temporarily placed in their hands, of appropriating them to their own pur poses, and it was scarcely possible that any broker engaged in these transactions should not have some suspicion that the money used in them *came from the till of the masters. No person, therefore, should engage in these transactions with persons placed in the confidential position of clerks and cashiers in banks without the full understanding that he should be at liberty to com municate with the employers of the persons employing him. He could not help thinking that in many cases in which large businesses were carried on, there must be something wrong between masters and their servants. He was not willing to encourage suspicion between employed and employers. On the contrary, when he saw how busineas was conducted, he was astonished that such cases were not more frequent. Such suspicion, he believed,would be unfounded and unjust, and he thought it was the duty of employers not to encourage temptation by any unnecessary unwatchfulness on their part. Care lessness, inertness, or unwatchfulness would give facili- ties for crime, and any employer who was thus careless was guilty of the no mean offence of casting a stumbling block in his brother's way. There are one or two circumstances connected with the present session which may be mentioned, but which did not properly come within the scope of the recorder's charge to the grand jury. Pullinger does not appear, as yet, to have given any informatibn as to the manner in which he got rid of the enormous sum of money that he appears to have misappropriated, and there is a very general impression that he still has the control of a con siderable portion of it ; and this opinion is strengthened by the fact that it is known that in his operations upon the turf, he was, in many instances, a very large win ner, and that he won considerable sums by backing the well-known and lucky racehorse Fisherman, who has run winner a great many times, and frequently with long odds against him. The bills will in all probability go before the grand jury on Tuesday or Wednesday, and until they are found no proceedings can of course be taken ; and if the prisoner should plead guilty, it is probable that the judgment upon him will be respited to the June session, in order to afford an opportunity for him to make any disclosures he may think proper to the authorities of the bank. Another case of very considerable public interest will also have to be dis posed of, namely, the charge against Mary Eugenia Plummer, a girl of 11 years of age, the daughter of a gentleman of fortune, residing in Wiltshire, of having committed wilful and corrupt perjury in the evidence given by her against the Rev. Mr. Hatch, the late chaplain of the House of Correction at Wandsworth, upon a charge of indecently assaulting her and a younger sister WOO had been placed with bun at school. Mr. Hatch, it will be remembered, was convicted of those offences, and was sentenced by Mr. Baron Bram well, who tried the case, to four years' imprisonment and hard labour. All application was subsequently made to the learned judge, on behalf of Mr. Hatch, for permission to indict both the sisters for the offence of perjury, but his lordship refused to consent to this, and only gave permission that an indictment for this offence should be preferred against the elder sister, Eugenia Plummer, and the grand jury returned a true bill at the last session. The child was at once bailed by her father, and it is understood that she will sur render on Wednesday morning, and take her trial. The Rev. Mr. Hatch, who has not been removed from New gate pending these proceedings, will, necessarily, be the principal witness for the prosecution, and his wife and a female servant, and another pupil named Lucy, an adopted child of Mr. Hatch, are the other witnesses on the back of the bill. The defendant's youngest sister will be examined on her behalf, to confirm the testimony she originally gave, and upon which the allegations of perjury are founded, so that the inquiry must necessarily be of the most painful character. The death of Major-General Berkeley Drummond is announced. RUSSIAN HOSPITALITY.—We read in a letter from Florence :—A nobleman, Cavalier Luigi Villarosa, befriended by Mr. Goodwin, the British Consul (a func tionary highly respected and cherished at Palermo,) applied for refuge to one of the English ships anchored in the harbour. The captain repulsed him, alleging his instructions, which only allowed him to extend his pro tection to British subjects. The unhappy Villarosa was more fortunate in his appeal to the humanity of a Russian captain, who took him on board, and when the police called for their prisoner, laconically pointed to the colours at his yardarm, and said the fugitive was heady in Russia. " ANOTHER NINE HOURS' AGITATION.—A meeting of journeymen carpenters was held at the White Hart, Drury-lane, for the purpose of further agitation on this vexed question. Mr. Booth was moved to take the chair, and briefly explained the object of the meeting, which he unhesitatingly affirmed to be to take such measures as would secure the object by which so many had suffered in endeavouring to obtain. Mr. Osman, a plasterer, then pointed out the measures adopted by them as a body ; they had long been amalgamated, and now steps were being taken to amalgamate throughout the country, as that was the only security the labourer had against the growing tyranny of his employer. 150 men had struck, of whom 45 were non -society men, in the employ of Messrs. Myers, and who were engaged on the Palace Hotel. These men had " turned out " principally because of the treatment they had received from the men who had signed the " odious document." These men were continually taunting those belonging to the society about the late strike. A deputation had waited on Messrs. Myers, at first without success, but the pre vious day a disinterested party further waited on Messrs.

On Saturday, John Gay, aged 31 years, a shoemaker, living at No. 4, New-road Clapham, who has been in cnstody since the sth ult., was placed in the dock at the Wandsworth Police-court, before Mr. Dayman, for final examination, on the charge of attempting to murder his wife, by cutting her throat with a razor. The prisoner had been remanded several times, in consequence of the inability of the wife to appear. On this occasion she attended, and was brought from the hospital in a cab. She appeared very weak, and was unable to raise her head, from the serious nature of the wounds in her throat. The prisoner is a short, thick set young man, exceedingly pale, and he seemed to feel his position most acutely. He cried several times, and was supplied with a glass of water to prevent him from fainting. The wife was allowed to be seated during the time she was under examination. She stated that her name was Mary Ann Gay, and she lodged at No. 5, Park place, Clapham. She had been separated from her husband about a fortnight before the occurrence. On the night of the 4th of April she returned home about a quarter before ten o'clock, from her day's work, and she saw her husband standing against the fence, close to the door. He said, "Is that you Polly : will you give me my little hat-brush." She replied that she would, and went in-doors to get it. He followed her into the house, and asked her to have some beer. She refused, and went up stairs for the brush, which she -afterwards gave him. She tLen went out, leaving him talking with the landlord. She went to meet her landlady, and returned with her. Her husband again pressed her to have some beer. She at first refused ; but, upon the persuasion of her landlady, she consented, and partook of some with him, and they were joined by the landlord and landlady. After the beer had been drank, he wanted to get some more; but her landlord wished him to leave. He then said something about her leaving him, and that he had not ROM there for any words. He asked her if she had sold her things, but she made him no answer. He was about going, when he said, "Polly, won't you shake hands ?" She consented, and he shook her hand. He then asked her if he should not stop with her the night, and she told him " No," and said that as he had comfortable lodgings, he had better go to them, and also that she would not trouble him, and that he had better not trouble her. He then uttered an oath, and declared that he would stop, and ran upstairs. She opened the door of her room, to show that the things did not belong to her, and her landlady told him that she was only a lodger. 1e then returned downstairs, and the landlady told him not to come there and make a disturbance, as she had treated him kindly. He said that he had not come to make any disturbance, and he put his arm round witness's neck and kissed her. Je then wanted her to go out to have some gin, but she refused, and shut the door. She went to bed, and nothing more transpired that night. About ten minutes before six o'clock the next morning, she was getting her breakfast, when she heard a knock at the door. Upon opening it, she saw her husband, who asked her for a bag he had left the night before. She told him that his bag was not there. He said it was, and then came in, and looked round for it, but it could not be found. He then asked for a drink of water, but not liking his looks, she declined going for any, She asked him why he did not remain at his lodgings, and have his break fast or wash there. He answered that he had not come to hurt her. At that time she was standing with her hand upon the handle of the door, and he came forward, and with an oath, declared that he would cut her throat. He sprang at her, as if to strike her, and she then felt a cut across her throat. She struggled with him, and tried to get to the front door. She at last got into the passage, and then fell down. Her husband then fell upon her, and drew a razor across under the left ear, and endea voured to cut the front part of her throat again. She resisted with her left hand, and after a desperate struggle, she succeeded in wrenching the razor from him. Her hands were severely cut with the razor in the struggle. He then put his fingers to the wound in her throat, and pulled it open, causing the blood to flow much faster. (Sensation.) He then got up and ran away, leaving her in the passage. She also succeeded in reaching the street, and called " Murder !" She became exhausted and sat down upon the pavement, and she remembered some one coming up and saying, " She has cut her throat—she has the razor in her hand !" She said " No," and told them that her husband had done it. She remembered no more until she found herself in her landlady's room. She was afterwards removed to the hospital, where she had remained until that morning. In answer to questions, the witness also said that her husband had frequently threatened to do for her. Mr. Dayman asked the prisoner if he had any ques tions to put to his wife. The prisoner said he did it through jealousy. Sarah Williams, barmaid at the Oxford Arms, Park road, Clapham, deposed that about five o'clock on the morning of the fifth ult., the prisoner entered the house and had threepennyworth of brandy and half-a-pint of beer. He remained until about a quarter to six o'clock, when he left. He returned shortly afterwards, and asked for another threepenny worth of brandy. She hesitated to serve him, and he then said that he would pay for it, and that it was the last he should ever drink. He also said that he had cut his wife's throat, and that he had come there to wait for the police to take him. She begged of him not to remain, and after stopping a few minutes in the parlour he went away. The witness further said that when the prisoner said he had cut his wife's throat, he added. " Look here," and showed his hands, which were covered with blood. Mr. W. Young, a builder, heard the screams of the wife, and saw her sitting upon the pavement. He took the razor from her, and it was dripping with blood. He went in search of the prisoner, and saw him go to a pond in front of the Cock public-house, in Clapham, and rinse his hands in the wateT. Sergeant Newman apprehended the prisoner in the Old Town, Clapham. He was followed by a mob of persons, who said he had cut his wife's throat. The prisoner said he had done it, and that he was going to the station to give himself up. Mr. James Bankard, house-surgeon at Guy's Hospital, said the wife was admitted . on the morning of the sth ult. ; she had two wounds on her throat, one about four inches iu length, commencing about an inch below the left ear, and extending downwards across the front of the neck to the other side. The second wenud was about three inches long, nearly in the same direction, a little above the other. They were extensive wounds, but not sufficiently deep to endanger life. There were also wounds on the hand. The depositions having been completed and read over by Mr. Andrew, the second clerk, the usual caution was put to the prisoner, who said he had nothing to say. Mr. Daymau then fully committed the prisoner for trial at the forthcoming sessions of the Central Criminal Court. Sergeant Newman wished to know what he could do with the injured woman. She had now left the hospital, and had no means of supporting herself. Mr. Dayman thought, that in her present condition, she had better be taken to the union. DEATH Or A PARLIAMENTARY VETERAN.—The late John Round, Esq., formerly of Danbury-place, Essex, who died at Brighton on the 28th ult., at the age of 78, was one of the earliest friends and fellow-workers of the [ate Sir Robart Peel, and represented the borotighs of Ipswich and Maldou at various times between the years 1312 and 1847, when he retired from public life. Mr. Round, as we learn from the " County Families," represented a house long settled in Essex. He was an honorary D.C.', of Oxford, and for many years held the office of High Steward of Colchester. It will be remembered that his wife was accidentally burnt to death at Raggett's Hotel, Dover-street, fifteen years ago. A PICTURE BY T A LLEYRAND.-011 one side stood the Emperor Alexander, attired in a suit of black, with no mark of his high rank save the glittering of brilliants on his bosom. On the other side, leaning backward in the chair with the most perfect nonchalance, sat the King of Prussia. Bergasse and the sombre Jungstilling (two German illumines) sat on a low stool at the feet of the prophetess. All on a sudden deadly silence ensued. Madame started from her seat, her lung robe dropping in graceful folds about her person, and the loose sleeves falling back from the extended arms. " Let us pray !" she exclaimed ; and in a moment every person present, from Czar Alexander to the very footman, sank down upon their knees.—Once a Week. REFORM.—We earnestly hope for the sake of the country that the deform bill will not pass. If this injurious measure should be carried iato effect, we expect that the consequences will be of a very detrimeoal character. It appears that Lord John Russell is sadly astray in his figures. Ile had said that Maryleboue would gain not more than 500 electors by the propc - Jed scheme ; but Mr. James asserts that the increase will amount to 3,760 ! Again, Lord John computes that the entire augmentation of the metropolitan electoral roll would reach the number of 13,922 ; but Mr. James shows that 109,960 is nearer the mark. Here, then, are most serious discrepancies between his lordship's figures and the facts of the case, warranting us in the belief that Lord John himself is not fully master of the subject, and is not aware of the depths into which he is about, if lie be allowed, to plunge his country. The Times states that from 1847 to 1857 no less than fifty seven members have been unseated, some for bribery, some for treating, and some for both, and that in all these cases the elections have taken place in boroughs ! And now, by way of reform, Lord John proposes such changes in our electoral system as will add about half a million of voters to the very class in which bribery and corruption have been so successful. We ask is this reform? Will it add to the morality of the hustings ? Will it not, on the contrary, increase the very evil of which we may justly be ashamed ? We, therefore, say that the Government scheme should not be called a measure of reform, blit 9f d-efmn,—Friikhirf Acirr9?, THE DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, MAY 8, 1860.- CHOICE CLIPPINGS FROM OUR SCRAP BOOK. A YANKEE SERMON ON WOMAN. TEXT: — How solveless is Woman! How tender is Woman ! How lofty is Woman! How loving is Woman! Hew childlike is Woman ! My hearers—sure enough, how solveless is woman ! She is an unguessable riddle—a most intricate enigma; a flower which, by analysing, no one can tell to a certainty whether it be poisonous or noxious,—not always. She has been with man from the beginning, and he hasn't found her out yet. She is comparatively an unexplored country—an alphabet of hieroglyphics —a magnetic mystery. Nobody knows what her heart contains. Sometimes it seems stuffed with love, tenderness, and sympathy, and at others filled with nothing but grit and gravel. It won't answer to shake her—if you do, you cause the acids and the alkalies of her nature to come in contact, and then such an effervescence takes place as might lower the ambition of pearl-ash and cider. Like the month of April, she is all sunshine and flowers. Many a tear-drop of hers dries and evaporates in the light of her smile ere it has a chance to fall ; and many a bright smile is suddenly quenched by a sprinkling from some passing cloud of sorrow not larger than a bed blanket. Griefs bubble out' from her bosom to burst in an atmosphere of joy ; and joys, like autumnal flowers, spring from the warm beds of her heart, to be cut down by the sudden frost of grief. A queer pompound is woman. She is made - up of industry, boldness, beauty, silks, satins, jealousy, love, hatred, horse-hair, whalebone, piety, point, gaiety, gum-elastic, bear's-grease, sympathy, tears, smiles, affection, and kindness. She talks with her tongue, speaks with her eyes, is eloquent with her actions, and yet I can't understand her. My friends,—How tender is woman! She is as tender as a chicken, and as tough as an old gobbler. She must be screened from the hot summer's sun, and sheltered from storms, and pro tected from the blasts of the winter—and yet she, if she makes up her mind to do it, she can out sweat the sun, face a north-easter, and be a match far the d—l. But inwardly she is as tender as the mercies of Heaven ; her heart is as much softer than the human as bees'-wax is softer than a brick-bat. Her sympathies are as delicate as the down, , and her love appears as fresh and unfading amid tip sorrows of adversity as the ever-green wreath that encircles the broad brow of winter. Her tenderness is too tough to be destroyed by what ever chance fortune or time may bring; tough as tripe, and twice as common. My dear friends—How lofty is woman! No matter whether born in a cellar, she can some times be as lofty as a garret. When she once gets her back up, Oh, cats and broomsticks, look out for yourselves ! She is as high as Olympus, and as savage as a sausage machine. In her wrath she is as crazy as a bed-bug, as strong as a tiger, and as terrible as a tornado. She blazes up as though she were a tar-barrel, and in a moment all is over, and nobody killed. When she comes down from the mountains, whence she was rolling big stones upon the people below, softens down to a jelly, and becomes as quiescent as a goose-pond after a tempest. The breeches won't lit—she must resume the petticoats and be a woman after all. My hearers—How loving is woman! Ay, she is amazingly sticky in her attachments. She will cling to the chosen object of her heart like a possum to a gum-tree ; and you can't separate her without snapping strings that no art can mend, and leaving a portion of her soul upon the upper leather of her affections. She will see something to love where others can discover nothing even to admire; and when her fondness is fastened upon a fellow it stays there, like glue and molasses in a bushy head of hair. My hearers—How childlike is woman ! A play thing in the world's great toy-shop. Her home is the realm of fancy—her existence is a kind of reality—her very miseries are mingled with a pleasing romance—her presence is always bright, and her future still brighter. Would that I were a woman, to be pleased with every posy that props its head above the needs of this world, and have no thorns to molest me while gathering the wild flowers of imaginations! Childlike—woman is very happy. Tickled with the straw of flattery, delighted with every rainbow-tinted bubble that floats upon the wave of time, and as merry as a cricket, she dances to the sunlight of joy, and seems to use every endeavour to coax male, moody mortals, into brighter and happier paths. So mote it be. RE-OPENING Or WALTHAM ABBEY.—On the 800th anniversary of its consecration, the Abbey Church of Waltham was re-opened, after partial restoration by Mr. W. Burges..The weather was very fine, and the day was quite a festival in the town—the bells ringing, and the union jack flying from the ancient tower. It is generally known that of the celebrated Abbey of Wal tham Holy Cross, erected by Bing Harold, the nave is all that at present remains, and this now forms the parish church. Its condition till lately was melancholy in the extreme. The parishioners of Waltham (none of them rich) have, to their great honour, put the church into substantial repair to be again used with safety for Divine service, at a cost of £1,400. SHEEP DESTROYED BY DOOS.—One night last week a number of sheep being in the yard of Mr. Dunning's farm, at Up-Sydling, were attacked and worried by two dogs, and to such an extent had the vicious propeusities of theses animals been carried, that no fewer than 139 of the sheep were found dead in the morning, and several others can scarcely survive. The sheep had been so worried by the dogs that they rau into a heap in the corner of the yard, and the greater portion were then suffocated, and rendered quite useless for human food. We understand the dugs were seen by the shepherd leaving the yard when he entered it, and that lie an identify them as belonging to Mr. Cornielf, of Hill-field farm, and Mr. George Durdeu, of Huntley farm. They consequently had come three miles to the slaughter. The dog belonging to Mr. Cornick, which was very old and toothless, was shot by that gentleman's request, but we have not heard whether Mr. Darden's, which is a half- bred lurcher, and which probably did the greater portion of the mischief, has been similarly served. If it has not it ought to be, for dogs once given to worrying sheep never leave it off. This serious loss will, no doubt, become the subject of an action for damages.— Dorset Express. AN AMERICAN SHIP OX THE BLACKWATER BANK.— Cahore, Wexford, batty I.—This morning intelligence was received here that a large ship was on the Black- water Bank. The lifeboat of the Royal National Life boat Institution immediately put to sea. On reaching the bank the ship proved to be the Vanguard, of New York, with a cargo from Liverpool. The captain ex pressed his satisfaction at the prompt and timely arrival of the lifeboat, and begged of her crew to remain by him until it would be seen whether the ship would be got off or not. Shortly afterwards two steam tugs, with 30 men on board, made their appearance. After several hours of exertion the Vanguard was fortunately got off her perilous position, and taken to Kingstown for repairs. She had got on this dangerous bank this morning, owing to the foggy state of the weather. After having been away nine hours the lifeboat returned to the shore. Although the boat rendered, on this occa sion, no actual service, yet it would have been a very different affair if the ship had been a passenger one, like the Pomona, which, about twelve months ago, went to pieces on the dangerous Blackwater Bank, and when nearly 400 poor creatures lost their lives on that disas trous occasion. The National Lifeboat Institution has now three valuable lifeboats in this neighbourhood, one of them a large powerful sailing lifeboat, which would probably take off a wreck on one trip sixty people. AN INDIAN ENTOY TQ ENGLAND.—We read in the Ne ty York Courier :—" A few days since, a lone daughter of the forest, Nah-nee-bahwe-qua, which in English means an upright woman, highly gifted by nature, and improved by a liberal education, arrived here on her way to England, on a mission to the Queen of Great Britain, to appear in person before her Majesty, and state the sufferings of her people. Her people are the Ojibwas, residing within the boundaries of the province of Upper Canada; they number about 1,000 souls, and occupy three little villages. Their home is at Owen's Sound, on the northern shore of Lake Huron. These people have embraced Christianity, have become civilised , have devoted their lives to labour, have good farms, well cultivated, good houses, and pleasant homes. These pleasant homes are about being taken from them Dy the ruthless hand of power, and these poor Ojibwas are to be driven into the wilderness, upon a barren waste, to suffer, to starve, to die. Nah - nee-bahwe-qua 3fa Sabbath last, attended Friends' meeting, and there )ffered up a fervent prayer, after which she addressed the meeting, and the recital of the sufferings of her people brought tears in the eyes of Friends. She is a member of the Methodist Church, and has with her the credentials of her membership and good standing, together with a letter of authority, signed by the chief her nation, to appear as their representative to the Queen. It is to be hoped that the Society of Friends in England will interest themselves with the Queen in behalf of the s4fering Ojibwas," WHO WANTS TIMBER? (From the Hobart Town Mercury) Tasmania abounds with forests of timber, almost unli mited in extent, and of a quality equal, if not superiOr, to any other hardwood in the world. Its strength and durability have been frequently tested. It has been pronounced by scientific men to be unsurpassed in these qualities by any other timber of which we have any knowledge. Amongst our trees are the blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus), the stringy bark (Bucalpytus gigantea), and the peppermint (Eswalpytus amygla lina). These timbers, from their superior quality, have attracted considerable attention ; but, unfortunately for us, that attention has not been secured in the right quarters. Very many years ago Sir John Franklin brought the subject under the notice of the British Government, and strongly recommended that our timber should be employed for naval purposes. Since then, Sir William Denison has, by scientific tests and by experiments, confirmed the favourable opinions expressed by Sir John Franklin regarding its valuable properties, and we believe Sir Henry Young has also represented its usefulness to the Admiralty. The reputation of our hardwood has hitherto been strictly confined to the Australian colonies. It has been used to a considerable extent in the construction of Victorian railways and other public works;. indeed, it will be found in the structure of thousands of public and private buildings in the chief cities and towns of Australia and New Zealand. But we are is , a position to supply the whole world if the whole world would only deal with us. The enormous con sumption of timber now going on in railways alone must soon make the question of supply worthy of the most serious consideration ; and surely, then, the inexhausti ble forests of this hardwood now lying despised and useless in,Tasmania cannot be, and ought not to be, a matter of indifference to railway contractors and others immediately interested in railways. But here again comes the question :—.How are we to make our advan tages in this respect known? Our Government won't budge au inch; and we may write to all eternity, and yet fail to attract the attention of a single individual to whose mind the subject would practically colhmend itself. This is the difficulty we want to overcome. Let , us once accomplish this, and we shall have no fear con cerning the future prosperity of Tasmania,. Then, again, in addition to supplying an article supe rior in qnality-:--that is in durability—to any timber hitherto employed, we can do this on terms as reason able, if not more reasonable, than any other country. This is an argument which generally carries some weight with it. All the banks of our noble rivers are fringed with some of the most stupendous and magnifioeut trees in the world, Ships of any conceivable tonnage could lay alongside and load with timber without the slightest risk or inconvenience. The sawmills at Oyster Cove, 1 and the Strathblane establishment at Port Esperance, have been erected in positions to facilitate the con veyance of cut timber to the water's edge. Tram- ways have likewise been laid down and ietties have been built indeed, eyery difficylty which pr.. sented itself has been overcome, and all that we now want is a market. In England, in France, in Ger many, and in India such a market exists we know. Tenders were invited a short time since, in a public journal in Launceston, by a gentleman residing on the northern side of this island, and who is acting as agent for others, for the supply of an immense quantity railway sleepers for India. This was the first tender ever invited in this colony, and many, on that account, but more especially on account of the magnitude of the contract—involving about four millions ster ling—were credulous as to its being a bona fide trans- action. At all events it is consolatory to know that an offer has been made by the principal mer4auts engaged in the timber trade to supply 4ndia with the whole quantity required, and tliat, too, at a price for which no other country could afford to supply timber of the same quality even if it had timber of the same quality to supply. Should this contract be accepted by the Indian government we shall need no other advertisement. From what we can learn, those who are interested in railways are not in a position to ttgA up their noses at this, as they pretended to do at every other Tasmanian export. it is clearly to their own interest to deal with us, and self-interest is a mar- Tellous antidote to such ill-founded prejudices. Several of our homeward-bound wool ships have taken speci mgns of railway sleepers with them to England, and those ships which will sail du.►zng the present month will take others. If this were known, contractors, and those interested in railways, might think it worth their while to inspect the article we now offer and form their own judgment regarding its value. Ships, for a mere nominal freight, would gladly ballast with these sleepers instead of with stone as Represent. ATTEMPTED MURPJR BY A " BETTING MAN." On Saturday John Flaherty, thirty years of age, residing at 11, Shackelwell-street, Mile-end, was charged at the Worship-street Police-court, on a warrant issued by Mr. D'Eyncourt, with the following outrage : Catherine Murray, whose evidence was given while seated, in consequence of her manifest enfeebled condi tion, said—l have lived with the prisoner as his wife for the 14st twelve mouths, He is what is known as a " betting man." He gets his living on the "turf," and I ply my needle. On Friday morning at the breakfast table some words ensued about money. He insisted upon my supplying him with some, and because I could not he took up a knife, stood in front of me, and said, " I will be your butcher—l will be the death of you before you are confined ;" at the same moment he cut at my throat with the knife. Instinctively I held up my hand, and one of the fingers was nearly cut off from its coming in contact with the blade ; it only hangs by a small integument. I escaped from the house, and am of course in fear of my life. Whenever he wants money he threatens me if I do not procure it for him. At the time in question he struck me with his fist in my face, as I was escaping from him. Theblack eye I have is consequent upon such attack. Subse quently I procured a warrant for his arrest. At this very time I am giving evidence 1 feel that I am in labour. I have had a medical practioner with me for the last twelve hours. Maria Digs , ins, a servant to the complainant, gave corroborative testimony ; and yet more decidedly spoke to tl►e act in question as being an intent to cut the woman's throat. Sarah Edmonds, a married woman and a neighbour, said she saw the injured woman run from the house half attired and bleeding from the hand. A medical certificate was put in, substantiating all that had been advanced relative to the injuries received, and Fairall, warrant officer of the court, gave testimony of having apprehended the prisoner at his house, and said that he had made a very determined resistance. The prisoner, in a very excited manner, denied the charge and was remanded. EXTENSIVE MANUFACTURE OF HEAVY GUNS. — The guu factories at Woolwich are now working night and day on a prodigious scale, forging the Arm strong guns of all sizes, from 6 to 100-pounders. It is expected that 1,200 guns, chiefly of the larger des cription, will be made this year. During the five months the factory has been in operation, 48 complete batteries of field artillery have been turned out and equipped for service, as well as 240 pounders for naval use, besides a large number of 100-pounders in progress of manufacture, and which will be ready by the Ist of August next. THE TRADE OF AUSTRALIA.—The Morning Herald says the next three months will be a period of great anxiety to all connected with the trade of Australia. The Times states that the stoppage of the three large firms at Melbourne, as already mentioned, had been followed by a number of establishments of less magnitude. The balance sheets presented are also said to be most unfavourable to the prospects of holders and importers of goods. The consumption of goods was falling off, yet stocks continued to arrive. It is to be hoped, however, that the present crisis may end by purging the trade of the unsound elements that have characterised it for a long time past. The latest edition. Just published.

AERIAL NAVIOATION.--BALLOONI NG TO EUROPE. — The experienced aeronaut, Mr. Wise, is making prepa rations to try a voyage to Europe in a monster balloon, with a view to solve the question whether the air is navigable. Such a project has been thought of for a long time, and if anyone can accomplish it we think Wise is the man ; for he has a large experience, having made some 250 flights. and devoted almost as much time and attention to the theory of the air currents as Maury has to the tides and winds in connection with ocean navigation. Wise is an enthusiast, but his enthusiasm seems to have taken a practical direc tion. He has perfect confidence in the result of his experiments—not the least of which wa s hi s remarkable aerial voyage from St. Louis to Watertown, New York, in company with La Mountain —and is willing to venture on a transatlantic expedition, relying upon the correctness of his theory, that at certain alti tudes the currents of the air run in certain directions ith linen iug accuracy, and that thus the globe may be circumnavigated by a balloon with as much ease as by a ship. This, of course, is a question the issue el which must be merely the solution of a scientific and geogra phical problem, like the Arctic expedition now in contemplation by Dr. Hayes to settle the location of the North Pole, and determine the existence of an open polar sea. The decision of either question may have no practical result; but if they are worth solving at all—and we conceive that they are—these expedi tions should be sustained by the wealthy portion of the community, to whom a liberal contribution is a small matter compared with the satisfaction of seeing these interesting scientific subjects fairly tested. Mr. Wise is at present engaged in making ex perimental trips and delivering lectures upon aerial navigation, for the purpose of raising funds to carry out his expedition to Europe—some six or seven thousand dollars being required for that purpose —and we hope that he will be furnished with means to make the attempt. The Smithsonian Institution will probably supply hin; with necessary instruments to make his observations and experiments in upper air, or, if it does not, he will doubtless procure them by some means, and we may anticipate some very interesting additions to our knowledge of atmospheric phenomena and the rules which govern the air-currents. Should Mr. Wise succeed in travelling to Europe in two or three days, as he confidently expects to do, and should Dr. Hayes discover the open polar sea, about which he entertains no doubt, it will be a subject of much pride that these two scientific and geographical problems shall have been solved by Americans, and such results would be well worth the thirty or forty thousand dollars expended on the expeditions. They will both start probably about the same time, under the direction of men thoroughly experienced iu the kind of work they are undertaking. Wise, as we have said, has devoted almost a lifetime to the mysteries of aerial navigation ; Dr. Hayes was the companion of Kane in the last Grinnell expedition, and knows exactly the dangers to be encountered and the course to be pursued in the accomplishment of his object. They a4e both prepared to start on their different expeditions full of pluck and confidence; and wken we find men bold enough to run such risks for the sake of science and discovery, it is but right that they should be provided with the pecuniary means necessary to carry out their enterprises. Their success will, undoubtedly, redound greatly to the honour of the country. —American paper,. Yiportiug 3ntelligenct, LATEST BETTING. TATTERSALLs.
