When the lecturer, There was a very-crow with his atte ind the rest lant train of Turks, Jews, dervishes, slaves, id come upon the platform, the chair was amid loud applause, by Laurence Heyworth, Esq., The Chairman briefly opened the proceedings by I have very great pleasure on this occasion in being one among the numt ,sembled to listen to the elegant lecturer on the very important subject he has to bring before us, and which, I have no doubt, will be; interesting, instructive, and, at the same time, entertaining to us. I shall therefore call upon Mr. Gadsby to proceed with his lecture. Mr. Gadsby then opened his lecture by introducing to the audience one of pt, in n which iviation of that body is expressed. The lecturer cribed the periodical ceremony performed by this id when they lie on the ground closely packed together, and the Sheik mounted on horse- back rides over them. This ceremony he witnessed twice, and was able, from positive inspection, to state that the horse which trampled over the prostrate bodies was not shod, as some travellers have stated, with wool or but actical lecinien of Elleult pert i eit, .rith the ordinary heavy iron plate of the Arab horse. The firm belief of the people was that no true believer ever was hurt by:the hoofs of the horse : but the lecturer affirmed that, standing near the: bodies'lving on the ground, he distinctly heard the bones of one dervish crash under the animal's tread.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN TIMES Sir,—Having just read the report of the Commissioners (Mr. Mansfield and Captain Schomberg), on the investiga tion of the causes of the late collision between the steamers Mail and Excelsior, I trust you will kindly allow me to make a few remarks on the conclusions come to : "That the collision of the Mail with the Excelsior , is to be attri . . . _ . £ - 3 - 9, - 17 - 77i;;18'6"1:: I buted to a £39,032 ; in 1852, £39,379 ; in 1853, £35,017 ; in 1854. £40,124; in 1855, £43,638; and in 1856, £45,478, Having submitted those returns to the board, the Inspector pointed oat the nerepsity of the board directi g their attention morally, and physically ; and has. tiane relative to the best means of preventing pauperism amongst children, he, in alluding to the present state of the workhouse, said—There was one other point upon whi c h h e wou ld ma k e a ng made some few observa- workhouse many of the wards were more than filled.

With the first part of the conclusion I entirely agree, and it was completely borne out by the evidence of the people on board of the Excelsior as well as the Mail Now, this being the case, how would seeing the Mail's three lights right a-head have prevented the collision ? The Mail was as close to the Cheshire side of the channel as she could get, as stated by the mate of the Marie, and the Excelsior could see the masthead-light of the Mail a mile distant, as stated by Mr. Pirrie, the agent, and others on board of the Excelsior; and Jamieson, one of the look-ou - tmen, saw the hull of the Mail a mile off; and the pilot and others stated there was nothing in the way to prevent the Excelsior keep ing to the starboard side of mid-channel. Still, in oppo.,ition to the Admiralty regulations, the Excel sior's helm is put to starboard, and the collision takes place. There can be no doubt whatever that, had the Excelsior been kept to the eastward nel she would have seen the Mail's red light, as ted witnesses, that 1 could be seen that mornioz. a number of disinter e three lights of tb orting immediate caus f the accident urveS , or to the Board of T THE .

The Inspector having, accompanied by Mr. Gough, the master, gone all over the workhouse, handed in the following REPORT I have this day inspecteTtlUs — workhouse, and I found it clean and: in good order. lam obliged to report to , the guardians that there are far too many girls accommodated in the upper sleeping room—in fact, the number of girls sleeping in that room is double that which it should be. There can, I think, be but one opinion as to the inefficiency of this esta blishment, for such a Union as West Derby, which is now nearly, if not quite, equal to the city of Manchester, as regards rateable value, and is rapidly approaching it in a mount of wealth. I have to add that I found the infirmary full, and that, consequently, some of the sick had been placed in the receiving wards, thus dedicating those wards to other than the legitimaie purposes. (Signed) IL B. FARNALL. The Inspector said : Having felt it my duty to make, this report, I have only to observe that the figures of the two Unions, West Derby and Manchester, are closely meeting , and the time is not far distant, when the Union of West Derby, being in the suburbs of Liverpool, will exceed that of the city of Manchester in wealth and in population. Tho time is fast approaching when the guardians will have to take into their serious consideration the greater amount of considerations in the shape of schools or asylums, or workhouses in this import ant Union. I know the time is not far distant when the subject must be considered. And when we look at what Manchester has done for her poulation, and seeing that this Union will shortly exceed that of Manchester in wealth and population, I think I need not say any more on this subject. Sooner or later the matter must be considered. The Inspector then took his leave of the board and retired.

IMPLICATION OF MR. MACGREGOR, MP. The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Glasgow Dully Bulletin:— John Macgregor repudiates his position as having anything to do with the promoting the Royal British Bank, allow me to state some facts. During the formation of that bank, I was invited to attend the board relative to my appointment either as manager or principal accountant. At that early period I found Mr. John Macgregor sitting as chairman of the board, and taking the most prominent part in the proceedings. In fact, at that time, Mr. Macgregor and Mr. Mullins were the principal actors in the scheme. I should like it to he well ascertained whether Mr. John Macgregor ever paid one shilling for the shares which qualified him for a director, and whether Mr. Mullins did not borrow the money by which many, if not all, the directors were qualified ; whether, also, the first £50,000 capital was not borrowed, and a list of shareholders made up, very few of whom ever paid a farthing? I think this will be found to be so to a great extent, if not to the full ; nor should I venture to say that without very good information, which I shall be ready to give if called upon.--Yours, &c., , - HENRY WESTON, Machqulleth, Montgomeryshire, formerly banker in Southwark. ment, would statistirs .d 1,786 children The Inspector having offered some few comments on the above statistics, said he had prepared a return of the money levied and expended for the relief and maintenance of the poor for the years ending Lady Day, 1850, and the following years to 1856. These From these returns it ie to'a‘ receipts of the Union for the year, 1850, for 1351, £40,272 ; for 1852, £41,353 ; for 1853, ; for 1854, £37,247; for 1855, £33,007 ; and for 1856, £41,505. The amount expended for the main- appeared tha wag £37,13f ance of the poor, for the same years, was respectively_ £4,072, £4,505, £4,390, £5,700, £5,861, £3,740, and fir 1856, £6,741. The amount expended in out-door relief for the same years was—£l7,7lB, £17,946, £15,837, £13,482, £11,015, £11,079, and for 1856, £13.187.

Thns it would be seen that the total expenditure of the Union under the above £29.595; in 1851, £27.813 guardians on the discharge of such lunatic have been unable to discern any reason for such requirement, save th refusal or neglect of the vising justices of such asylum to pdvide suitable accommodation for the deposit of the clo.hing, as.is done in all other asylums.

It was past the bank hours, and that was the reason of his asking me that question. The examination of Mr. Francis was then read The bankrupt replied that he had no observations to make on it. The evidence given by Mr. Morton was then read. The bankrupt said, I was not asked to give any explanation that I recollect, as to the £3,000. I was in such a state of excitement, and I do not know what did take place—there were many creditors present, and they were very angry. They did not behave like gentlemen. lam not aware that I had any cash memorandum of the meeting of creditors. There w:s a statement of my liabilities produced. It was made out by Mr. Wilson, and is now in the hands of the official assignee. The paper now produced was . the one submitted to my creditors. Where do you find Humphreys' debt? It is in running bills. I can't say if it was all read over to the meeting. I have no recollection that I was questioned about my accounts with Mr. Humphreys at the meating of creditors. Ido not recollect that I had a memorandum of how I expended the £3,000. I have no other observations to make. The evidence of Mr. J. G. Nash was then read, as was also that of Mr. Gamble. The bankrupt said that he had no recollection of having been asked to give any account of how I disposed of the bill for £1,350, out of the £3,000, but I do recollect giving an account of the cheque for £5OO. This cheque was discounted at Barnett's bank less £1 53. I believe I took the money to the Bank of Liverpool, because my own bank had refused to cash me a note a few days before, and I was afraid to trust them again, but it was afterwards cashed. I took the whole of the £1,350, less the commission. I got the monies from the takings in my own shops, and there might be a cheque in it, and I got other monies from Mr. Humphreys that week also. By Mr. Yates : I have said that the £2,000 was to be with Mr. Humphreys to meet hills with, and he afterwards advanced mo monies to do so. The gross amount of monies I received from Mr. Hum phreys after the 14th April was so-ne thousand pounds, £2,000 or £3,000 to the best of my recollection. own and other peoples' bills that he let me have the mon, Mr. Humphreys is a creditor for £4,500. The vine of the Brombor2 property is from £5,000 to £6,00,0, provided it was free from incumbrances. I had applied to have the pro perty mortgaged before I applied to Mr. Humphreys. I went to Mr. Grocott, but he was out of town. I also offered it to the Borough Bank, but they refused to take it. After the 14th of April I continued to meet my engagements in the usual way until the time of my suspension. I have been in business for twenty one years last March, and have carried on a very ex tensive business. I should say for the last few years 'have ruined over in Brunswick street, £lOO,OOO per year. Most of my creditors I have dealt with for years.

The large amount now due to him arises from loans to me, which money have been applied in carrying on business. At the Meeting of creditors, there might haVe been from fifteen to sixteen persons present. There was a great excite ment at the meeting; it was such a one as I never saw before. The chairman and all was speaking at the one time, and I could not say what they were doing. is :correct, to the best of my Tecollection What I ha; my recollection, Mr. Smith, of the Borough. Bank, asked me to sit down in the bank and write, a statement of my . affairs. Instead of doing it they I went to my shop in Vauxhall and did it there. Mr. Yates : From the time you first began to obtain loans of Mr. Pemberton, did you ever after remain in his debt ? Bankrupt : Yes. Re-examined : After the 16th of Akil I accepted a bill from Messrs. Irwin and Jones for £470, and several others. I took my money to other banks than that of the Borough Bank. The hill book shows all the transactions I had with the banks. My hooks do not show all the transactions to the amount of .£lOO,OOO a year. I took in my shops £l,OOO per week for the last few weeks. Mr. Yates then addressed the court for the assignees, and called upon the Commissioner to adjourn the case sine die. as the bankrupt had not given a full account of his estate, and had been guilty of gross prevarication. Mr. Yates replied, that the bankrupt had accounted for all his estate, and made a true discovery of all his accounts. He arguPd that the bankrupt had accounted for all his estate, even the £2,000, and this he had done on his oath, which had been corroborated by other witnesses. He contended that Mr. Humphreys did not stand in so good a position as he did on the 14th of April, and, therefore, there was nothing to prevent the bankrupt from passing his examination. Mr. Lowndes : There is no hooks kept by the bankrupt. Mr. Evans objected. The Commissioner : I will dispose of it tomorrow at twelve o'clock. The court then adjourned. YESTERDAY.—In consequence of the court being occnpiel with another case until an advanced hour this day, and Mr. Lowndes not being able to attend after 12 o'clock, his Honour postponed his decision until 12 o'clock to-morrow (Friday). COUNTY COURT BEFORE JOSEPH POLLOCK, ESQUIRE, JUDGE. COSTS IN UNDEFENDED CASES.—A case having been brought forward by a debt collector, in which the defendant did not dispute the claim, and offered to pay it by weekly instalments, his Honour observed, that such cases ought to be arranged in the clerk's office, which would both save expense to the defendant, and the time of the court. In every future case, in which he found the plaintiff refusing such reasonable offers as the court might approve, he would mark his disapprobation of such conduct, by refusing to allow costs. On the other hand, if the defendant threw obstacles in the way of a settlement, he should allow costs.
