The fall in British railway shares con tinues ; the disappointment occasioned by the decrease in the traffic has caused many realisa tions by speculators who hold stocks on borrowed money.

The directors of the Natiotal Discount Company recommend a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. The reserve fund is debited with £26,336 to meet the losses from the failures in the leather trade. The Times states that the Bank of France has entered into an agreement with the Imperial Bank of St. Petersburg, analogous to that recently affected with the Bank of England, for the exchange of a certain sum of silver for gold. The amount is thirty million francs, or £1,200,000. Yesterday the railway market was again very heavy, and left off at the lowest point of the day. The depression is chiefly due to a pressure of sales on provincial account, particularly of Lan cashire and Yorkshire and Midland, which stocks, after their lengthened rise, are especially liable to reaction ; the former receded l per cent., and the latter 11.

If Ido not succeed in turning aside thO r conflict, „we shall be engaged in a combat in which we .mnst vanquish if we are not willing to perish." This closing observation is possibly open to the reproach pf excessive frankness, not a common fault among Continental potentates. Napoleon 111., for instance, would never intimate to his generals that they are about to enter upon a combat in which defeat is annihilation. The Prussian Monarch, on the other hand, with Teutonic bluntness, disdains to condesoend to prevaricate ; he does not pretend that the increase or reorganisation of the army is essentially a pacific symptoms He is fully aware that Denmark is only his nominal enemy in the Schleswig- Holstein difficulty, and that the real question at issue is not whether Denmark is to continue to set the convention of 1840 at defiance but whether France is to have the Rhine. Nor is there any other quarter from'which Prus sia has any ground to apprehend danger.. Eng land. is certainly not the ominous quarter in ques tion; neither is Austria; neither is Russia. Eng land, connected with Prussia by the royal families of both countries, - has, besides this powerful reason, every other reason that can be imagined —political, social,. and religious—to uphold the integrity and independence of Prussia. More over, public opinion in this country, which over rules even the estates of the realm, would scout the idea of a quarrel with Prussia on any ground whatever% England is, therefore, out of the ques tion; and so is Austria, though for other, but not less convincing, reasons-. Nor .is Russia the quarter «•liete the storm, is rising ; seeing that, What with the Crimean struggle, and what with the abolition of serfdom, she has not only no strength left remaining at present, even if the inclination to arouse Germany against her ex isted; bid she has much, need of the support of Prussia% The only quarter open, therefore, is , - of the word, be regarded as of a very I tion oath as Duke of Schleswig - Holstein, and the bellicose character; and, as such, it is well consequept obligations above referred to. This calculate& to excite very great uneasi- event had scarcely passed ,by when His Danish ness in urope, as a German war would inevitably Majesty thought fit to annex the provinces lying issue in a general war—if a general war should not precede it. " For you, my dear Minister of to the north of the Eider ; and thus lie‘ declar . 6d War " said the. King, " I have not prepared a bed Schleswig to be part of his kingdom, and the river of roses. You must courageously labour to make named to be the southern boundary of Denmark ; about the same time the other province, lying to the south of the Eider, was appropriated by Germany, and thus the two were sepaiated, and Holstein became subject, for a time, to the Frankfort Diet. The inhabitants of the formerly united Duchies, however, remained true to their ancestral traditions, and not only took the field against the usurper, but kept their ground and succeeded in maintaining a determinedly hostile position. Their claim was not so much to be freed from the sway of the Vanish sceptre, but to secure the ancient union between the two duchies. The Schleswig-Holsteiners were ultimately un able to attack the Danes, :but the Danes were equally unable to drive the Schleswig-Holsteiners out of the fOrtress of Rendsburg. It is important tt note that it was in this peculiar state of matters that Austria and Prussia interfered and brought about a new arrangement upon the terms of which the whole of the now pending dispute immediately hangs. A bargain was struck—or, in more diplomatic phrase, a convention was entered into—whereby it was stipulated that the Schleswig-Holsteiners should surrender the fortress of Rendsburg, and submit to Denmark, on the solemn assurance of the Germanic Confederation, that it would guarantee the renewal and perpetual maintenance of the union between Schleswig and Holstein as one united Duchy, under the King of Denmark, as their sworn Duke. This guarantee was given by all Germany to the garrison of Rendsburg before laying down their arms; and it was under this guarantee ) and upon this condition alone, that the Schleswig-liolstein forces retired from the field and sanctioned the restoration of their country to Denmark. It is very clear, therefore, that it lies with Germany to see that the King of PATENT VESTIBULE AND 'OTHER LAMPS; INCLUDING THE CELEBRATED AUREOLE LAMP.

The King of Prussia called his generals into his presence on Wednesday last, and delivered an address to them, the publication of which in the Prussian Gazette has caused no small sensation. His Majesty was, however, it will be seen, careful to reiterate that he is one of those Princes who " desires the maintenance of peace," and that the object of the military preparations which he feels it his duty to make, is defence and not attack. But still the address must, in the strictest sense France ; which is the conclusion that all impar• tial persons will arrive at. A key to this conch'• sion is furnished, at least in a sense, by the state , meat of the Au sburg act:,°eitc, which declares that a treaty has been entered into between Austria, Prussia, and Russia, which guarantees to Austria the possession of Venetia. The Debats of Friday last, while doubting the accuracy of this assertion, thinks it highly probable that very intimate relations have been established between Austria and Prussia; and that the forriier has agreed; iti order to secure the co-operation of the latter in the V . enetia question, to following the Prussian policy with regard to . the Danish Duchies, and even to leave Prussia, if necessary, to take the supreme command of the federal army. But after all, assuming these rumoured preparations and combinations to be true, the question comes to be, do they necessarily lead. to the breaking out of a War i By no means. •On alb Contrary; they may ultimately prove the only real safeguards to the preservation of the peace of Europe. The whole of the French fleet has retired from before Gaeta. There are some contradictory accounts respecting the reactionary movements in the Neapolitan Prokinces, and we must wait for rtirther information. The Moniteur announces another reduction of duty of some importance on merchandise im ported into France. On Friday a number of colonists of New South Wales entertained Sir John Yelling at dinner pre' viotts to his depaitlire to assume the government of that colony. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Cardwell, and a number of distinguished guests were present. The energy, ability, and zeal of the Earl De Grey and Ripon have so impressed, the leaders of the yohnlteer inoi'enienti that it has been pio posed by them to select the occasion of his tem porary retirement from the War-office to exhibit their sense of the services he has rendered to the cause. Accordingly, on Saturday afternoon last, a numerous and most influential meeting of com manding officers of the Middlesex Volunteer Rifle Corps was held at the Volunteer Service Club, under the pibsidency of Lord Dad; *hen it vas unanimously proposed to present Lord De Grey and Ripon with an address, expressive of the value attached by the volunteers of the kingdom to the services of the noble lord in connection with the movement. A deptitation was appointed to wait upon hiS lordship fOr the ptirPOSe in the ebdise of nest Tables have been issued showing the order of proficiency of rifle shooting attained by regi ments of the line and militia during the past year.

The Havre journals speak of a new order for 200 gunboats having been given to private builders. dEitSiANI - WING TO *Ali WITH DENMARK. GERMANY not merely resounds with rumours of war, but intensely occupies itself with earnest and extensive preparations for active hostilities. The new King of Prussia has declared hiri def6kinina: tion to adopt instant arrangements for his army taking the field. It might be rash to say that the drib object in view is the final adjustment of the old quarrel with Denmark as to Schleswig-Holstein but it seems probable that such is the more imme diate purpOse for Which otir hazy and droWsy Ger nian cousins are abont once more to draw the sword: In contemplating the chances ot this titidertaking to settle an old and much vexed question by a decided appeal to arms, it is well to keep in view that not only has Austria countersigned the de mands of Prussia, and those German States whom the latter generally represents, but the Federal Diet itself has formally given its sanction to the proposed expedition against Denmark, and, there fore; the war wheri*aged will be something more than Prussian, it will be out and out tiernianic. Some may under-estimate the probable duration of such a canipaign and certainly there is a vast disproportidn between ntll Germany and the little Danish Kingdom. tut it is to be remembered that the present King of Denmark, unlike his Shaksperian prototype; is a courageous and skilful soldier at the head of an intelligent and spirited people who enjoy a free constitution, and possessed of all the advantages of an exten sive seaboard. However ; be the struggle brief or protracted, it is impossible for the people of England to view with indifference an trifled conflict between two nations like Germany and Denmark, for both of whom we have so many good wishes. Under such circumstances, our first and most natural question is, What is it all about ? Which party is in the wrong If one-half the statements which have reached us be true, Denmark has very clearly the worst side of the question ; and, if so, Prussia seems only to blame for having been so dilatory in vindicating the rightful cause. The two Duchies of Schles wig and Holstein, although distinctly separated from each other by the river Eider, were anciently united under the sway of the Duke of Schleswig- Holstein—a union which has ever been cemented by the good wishes of thd population of those two provinces. When those Duchies became admini stratively annexed to the Crown of Denmark, the King of that ancient kingdom became bound to govern them as Duke and not as King, and also to maintain inviolable the immemorial union be tween the two provinces of the Dukedom. Ac cordingly, when the present King came to the Mulish throne, in 1818, he took the usual corona- Denmark, as Duke, has preserved the union a the Thtchies and governed them as witch in bona fides: Any breach of faith on the part of Den mark towards Schleswig-Holstein must, therefore, be considered as much an injury, insult, and defiance to Germany in general, and to Prussia in particular, as having, representatively, all along taken the active lead iii the negotiations, as if the King of Denniark had directly affronted Prussia in her own proper territory, Now comes the question,—how has the bargain been kept ? How far has the Convention been faithfully adhered to ? As we have already said, if one-half of what we hear be anything like true, never was bargain more thoroughly despised ) broken through, and completely set aside than this has been. If it be so—and there seems too little room for doubt—there can be no question as to who is the defaulter. The King of Denmark seems to have been guilty of a shaineftil disregard of his solemn undertakings. It is now eight years since the king undertook to give each of the two provinces entire control over its own taxation. Schleswig was to have its local assembly for that purpose, and so was Holstein. In flagrant violation of this promise, the taxation of the Duchies is determined without consulting either of them by the authorities at the banish capital of Copen hagen. Nor is this one-half the grievance. The King of Denmark has carried on an inveterate course of persecution against his German subjects, the Schleswig-Holsteiners, by supposing that his ohjedt has been to exterminate ; by the cruelest of all processes, every German frein his dominions, and to tread out from the minds of his people every feeling and sympathy for the" Faderland." By the convention it was promised that the Danish subjects of the King should enjoy no pre ferential rights over the German people of the Dna - lies, This stipulation, we fear, has been grossly set at nought. We are told that the Germans have actually been treated as felons when they have dared, against Royal decrees, to educate their children in German instead of in Danish; and that they have been prohibited, Under dire penalties, from conducting public worship in their mother tongue. German ecclesiastics and tutors have been ' proclaimed contraband; and every measure has been had re course to, to compel the Germans to submit to the most degrading and oppressive tyranny which any conqueror could inflict upon a subject race. And all this has befallen the poor Schleswig_ tfolsteiners, tinder d gndfatitee 11 the Germanic Confederation that their independence and equal rights should be for ever recognised and remain intact under the King of Denmark. Oh! shame upon the Dane ; and almost equal shame upon Prussia and Germany that they should have alloVved the e+il fe go so far. This then seems to be the grotnd of quarrel as it stands between Germany and Denmark. Is any one astonished that at last Prussia is about to take the field in vindication of its own honour and that of Germany, and of the rights of the 'persecuted GermaiiS Of §chlesitig-Molstein P Surely not. Let us rather hope that, if an appteal to the sword is unavoidable, it will be swift, brief, and efteettial, and lead to a just and permanent peace. THE MONEY MARKET. It is still problematical to' estimate what will be the ultimate course of present financial tlifficnities. The position of the Bank account, and the pressure That still exists upon the resources of the Bank of France, ntaf create additional embarrassment, and the public should be prepared tOf farther unfavourable intelligence from America. Through Mese circumstances the state of business was not favourable on gatuttlay, and although it is asserted that the Russian GoVernment are willing, to the eitent Of £2,400,000', to carry out a similar arrangement to that entered into sonic short time ago with the Bank of England for an exchange of silver against gold, it is doubted whether this: supple'm'ental assistance will .prove adequate to the emergency of the moment. In the course of business hours a mer cantile einharrassment was mentioned, which seemed to create a sadden gloom, notwithstanding it was thought that endeavours will be made to put the affair etraight, and if this is possible, it will save a large amount of distrust being thrown on a parti cular brauth of bilsinestl, and prevent other suspen sions, the effect of *hlcl could not be otherwise than serious. The latest information from the 'United States 'will prepare most parties for further disturbanced in the South ; but, if the North can only for' the next WO months hold their ground in a commercial sense, the glut of Money from England will have pro duced a beneficial inflUenee, and the consequences will be less hurtful than might have becie anticipated. A change in the specie movement will, without doubt, fol low, when the effect of the late importations from Lon don and Liverpool shall have been perceived, but still at the same time the absorption must make headway, and it cannot be supposed that the whole Will at once be returned to this country. Trade necessarily languishes while these doubts and uncertainties predominate; and though the exercise of caution is known to be necessary, it is nevertheless felt that if a more settled state of things existed, the recovery would be proportionate, and the operations in the channels connected with spring branches would yet be quite of a productive and remu nerative character. From day to day anxiety has been manifested to as certain. whether the Bank of France or the Bank of England considered it necessary to interfere with the rate of discount, owing to the exceptional state of things both. in Paris and in New York. With the existing position of the Bank of England and the Bank of France, it is feared that additional measures for influencing the value of money may have to be adopted ; but unless ex treme necessity ensues the executive of either of these esta blishments will be little inclined to make the alteration, and with the continuance of present prospects there will be no incentive to enlarge arrangements. This will, therefore, produce a corresponding effect, and assist to keep the demand within reasonable limits. It is very surprising' regard being paid to what has occurred in relation to the fluctuations in the rate of discount, to find credit in such a satisfactory condition, and it will also show how pru dently trade has been managed, if the present freedom from commercial disaster should be prolonged. Never theless it cannot be expected that there will be a perfect . immunity from disasters, if the rate of discount should be again carried in advance, and the result must be that business will either sustain a severe diminution or sus pensions must follow from a chronic disturbance, which appears to have affected, though in different degrees, the political and financial situation of France and the United States.—Observer, The question of peace or war has suddenly come to be transferred from the south. of Europe to the north. According to the Cologne Gazette, the new King of Prussia has undertaken to assist Austria against all comers, provided Austria will assist Prussia in her coercive designs against Denmark. The address of the King to his Generals is talked of as a danger in itself; but this depends on the fact whether William I. is here referring to Denmark or to France. If to the latter, the danger may easily be removed by France herself. The state of the Bourse is exceedingly inani mate. The Government organs suggest that the absence of transactions arises from the state of monetary affairs in New York, but the unsatisfac tory aspect of financial affairs in Paris have, perhaps, fully as much to do with it. Dente is down to 67f. 20c. THE INUNDATIONS IN HOLLAND. FRIGHTFUL DEVASTATIONS. ROTTERDAM, JAN. 16.—1 n the beginning of January it was observed that the accumulation of snow in this district was causing the rise of the river to a dangerous extent. With anxiety and dread the inhabitants watched the daily increase of the invading waters, now laden with immense masses of ice, and strenuously exerted themselves to strengthen the resistance offered by those artificial barriers by which alone Holland is pre served from submersion. But still the flood rose, and the ice -masses, as it were, formed themselves into huge battering-rams, pressing with their irresistible strength against the dikes and dams. The sound of the church bell, clear and ominous in the frosty air, kept telling the sad tale of imminent danger, and warning all who could laboiit 0 aid in the good cause and those who could not to prepare fot the worst. Higher and higher rose the waters, and soon the surface of the ponderous shifting ice-mass stood within half an inch of the dike-level. Good God ! should it rise that half-inch higher, their cottages, their cattle, their provisions, their all would become a prey to the unsparing havoc! Then rose to heaven many a prayer for help—for mercy ! At last a bulging out in the dike directed the anxious gaze of all to one spot—for the waters were press ing bard upon it, With the strength and energy of despair they tried to stay the progress of the flood as it sought egress from its narrow channel into their fields and dwellings. Xerxes as well tried to bind the ocean in chains. Suddenly the dike yielded) Anti tip waters poured through—the ice-masses and the flood rose above it, and swept on in their terrific course, submerging fields, barns, and cottages, drowning the cattle, destroying all. The aged and the sick, the women and children, sought a refuge in their attics, where, benumbed with cold, without bedding, clothes, fire, or provisions, they had to pass days of inexpressible terror—af horrible starvation. For a long time it was impossible to approach them, and. it is feared Many a cottage has been swept away in the flood, and its inhabitants frozen to death on the ice-masses. One family of eight persons were rescued from the attic in which they had sought shelter, so thoroughly exhausted by cold and hunger that they could not even answer the questions of their deliverers. A poor mother, with her infant, to which she had given premature birth, was lying in bed in the bleak attic of her homely dwel ling, while her husband, from an aperture in the roof, sought, by cries and signals, to attract the attention of a few brave men, who, at the imminent risk of their lives, were endeavouring to make their way between the ice blocks in order to rescue some of their perishing fellow creatt'res from destruction. They went to the poor fel low's help, descended into the attic through the aperture in the roof, through which they returned, bringing with them the mother and the babe. It was time, for the waters had already risen to within two inches of the bed. As I write, fresh intelligence arrives from the inun dated districts detailing additional scenes of wretched ness—people dying from hunger and cold; their houses cut away by the ice, as corn is mown down by the har vester's scythe; a church which had stood hundreds of years swept down, as a puff of wind sweeps down a house of cards; and the prospect is even, yet more fear ful. Holland has often suffered much from inundations; but never within the memory of living man has an inundation been accompanied with so much distress and destruction with so much heartrending grief and des The royal mail steamer Arabia which sailed on Satur day from the Mersey for New York, took L 226,177 in specie. MR. AND MRS. HOWARD PAUL.—Our readers are reminded that these most interesting ana popular "entertainers " appear this SMonday) evening at the Clayton-hall, for a brief season of nine nights. As will be seen, their entertainment will be interspersed by many novelties and several new songs. VOLUNTEER COMMISSIONS.—Cheshire : 29th Com pany of Cheshire Rifle Volunteers —AV. Claye, gent., to be Ensign, vice Graham, deceased. —Memorandum : 16th Company of Cheshire Rifle Volunteers—Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to accept the resignation of the commission held by Lieutenant A. C. Howard, in the above company. The ship Heros, which arrived here on Saturday from Akyab, brought a cargo of 10,700 bags of rice. —The Prospero, which arrived here on Saturday from Paraiba, brings 1,500 bags of sugar, and 600 bales of cotton.—The Titania, which arrived here the same day from Demerara, brings 308 casks of sugar, 100 casks of molasses, and about 80 puncheons of rum. "'"' • FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Jan. 19, 1861. The note in the Moniteur, on the subject of Gaeta, gives an explanation regarding the motives of the Emperor in not sooner - withdrawing his fleet, which has been on the whole well received. The notion which appears to be entertained by some of the Legitimist organs, that Gaeta is strong enough to resist a combined attack by sea and land, is perfectly . illusory, as Francis 11. will soon find to his cost ) unless he evacuates the place within the week appioaehhig. In fact) I believe that there is no longer any doubt that the besiegers have an Understanding with some of the' besieged inside the fortreSs, and that tjene:- ral Cialdini has always continued, somehow or other, to get intelligence beforehand, when and where a sortie was to be made,—a circumstance which is quite in harmony with all the previons history of the struggle between the Royalists and their adversaries. The consequence is, that the next thing we shall hear of is, that a part of the gartisorl ) persuaded that ftirther tesistaitee is useless ) has rettisett to continue the cl ere ride and that the king has in this way been forced to succumb. The sooner such a consummation is realised the better. The impression now largely prevails that there never was so good an understanding between Count Cavour and Napoleon 111. as at the present Moment, but it still remains a difficult task to fathom the precise motives of this rapprochement. The Sardinian Government is straining every nerve to acquire a majority in the new Italian Parliament in favour of peace, which seems to be again in as great peril as ever of being broken. Garibaldi is entreated not to compronaise, by art untimely levy of undisciplined troops, the future of Italy v ; but to be patient, and to trust to time ; and he is told that should he, notwithstanding these, entreaties, resolve upon attacking Austria in the spring, he will be left alone to bear the whole brunt and responsibility of the defeat which he 1011 thus have provoked and deserved. It is mentioned that an explanation has recently, taken place between Prince Metternich and. the Emperor, as to the authorship of the pamphlet, "Le Rachat de la Venetie." The Austrian Am- bassador was instructed to demand of his Majesty whether it was true that this pamphlet had been issued under his august patronage, to which his Majesty replied that while entirely declining all responsibility in connection with it, he had no hesitation in declaring that he was quite aware of its contents, but that he did not feel called upon to interfere to prevent the free discussion of the question, which, he was inclined to think, could not but be productive of good. A letter from Genoa, dated the 15th, mentions the arrival of the Moldavian vessel, the Hydra, from the Black Sea, having on board, it is said, several Hungarian refugees, who had been forced to quit the territory of the Principality on the requisition of the government of Prince Conza. It is known that the government of the United Principalities has decided on not delivering up refugees who may seek an asylum there ; but at the same time, as it has resolved strictly to adhere :o the system of non-interference which it has laid down for itself, it has decided that its safest course was to order all refugees to quit the terri tories of the Principalities within a given period after their arrival. The Porte has determined, in order to keep out of trouble with' Foreign Powers, to act upon the same plan ; and several refugees who have arrived at Constantinople have also received orders to quit. The 3loniteur announces that, by order of their Majesties, a sum of 95,000 francs has been placed at the disposal of the Prefect of Police, to be distributed among the necessitous classes, who are very numerous in Paris at present, for the pur chase of bread and firing. Twenty thousand loaves and 15,000 bundles of firewood have already been distributed in conformity with these instruc tions. THE AIGBURTH OMNIBUSES. TO THE EDITOR OF TILE DAILY TIMES. STE,—The late severe weather has, no doubt, had a very serious effect upon many classes of the community; perhaps none have suffered more, in a pecuniary sense, than the various proprietors of our public conveyances. When we Consider the fearful state of the roads, the price of provender, the mortality in horses from strained limb and other accidents, together with the enormous expenses in shape of duties, such a business as the one I allude to must indeed be hieftillk Conducted in order that a livelihood may (at such tinier as these) be obtained. ; Messrs, Bath Brothers, the enterprising and spirited proprietors of the above omnibuses, are doubtless highly 'deserving of the sympathy of their numerous patrons and friends during the present trying season, but having heard that it has been proposed to the above firth the propriety Of their raising the fares temporarily, permit me; thtoOgh the ii;siStande of ydtir valuable paper, to offer the following suggestion toi the approval of those gentlemen interested in this cause, Itistead of increasing the fare, let us present Messrs. liath Brothers with a testimonial.

DISCSRDERLY WIFE; Ellen Carroll, the wife of Bernard Carroll, prbiisiot‘ dealer, John's Market, was charged by her husband, under the following circumstances :—Mr. Bluck ap peared for the complainant, and said the prisoner's conduct was such as compelled her husband to separate from her. He allowed her a maintenance up to a few days ago, but now he would not do so, as he intended to adopt other means to get rid of her. On Monday last he had her charged before the magistrates, and she was fined. One would have thought that would have been a warning to her, as she had been, several time before, fined for her disorderly conduct. On the previous day (Fri day) she Went to the tharket, in the absence of com plainant, and created a great distdrbsncb with his son, flung pig's feet and other things about, and i ,4 abti thb husband. came she created a great row and assaulted him. She was ordered to find two sureties in £5 each to keep the peace; or one month's imprisonment. DANGEROUS ASSAULT ON A POLICEMAN. Bernard 11PConville was brought up by Inspector Dodd on a charge of having assaulted police-officer John Ita*kits, 15, who riot lies in a very dangerous state is bonsequende dt injuries tedeiteci from the prisoner. From the evidence of two Zvedicii it Appeuted that abdut one o'clock in the morning the prisoner ;has ibaking noise, being drunk at the time, in Simpson-street. Thh officer advised him to go home, when he struck thd officer in the face. The constable struck him in return, when the prisoner knocked him down with a blow on the chest, and he has been insensible since. The prisoner was remanded for a week. A DROP OF SPIRITS.-' • 11 A DODGER." An extraordinary-looking fellow, dressed in a faded naval uniform coat, whose name was given as Henry Williams, was charged with having stolen S 2 12s. from a tidy-looking female, named Ellen Smith. The com plainant said on the sth November the prisoner called at her mother's house, in a street off Scotland-road, and said he was going on board a man-of-war, and that he called to say good-bye to her. She had her work-box on her knee, and had the money in it, when the prisoner took it, saying he would give it to her mother. He went away with the money, and she never saw him until the previous day, when a person told her where be was. A young man was called, who stated he was in the house on the occasion,and the complainant, her mother, the prisoner, and witness had a drop of spirits on the parting. He saw him take the money, but he only thotight it was out of a lark to give it to her mother. The prisoner said be knew the complainant about thred years ago, and was very fond of her. He went away then, and only returned at the time stated, and found that she had got married. He called to see her, and she took down the workbox to show him her husband's likeness, and he having a drop of spirits he took the money and got drunk, and forgot to return it. There were two other charges against him as follows s— thu son of Mr. Braham, who keeps the Canterbury Vaults, Richmond-street, stated that the prisoner called at the house, and stated that he was the second engineer of the Arabia, and invited him to go on board next day, and dine with him, He managed to steal a coat, value nearly from him. The thitd charge was preferred against him by Mr. Baker, publican, Tithebarn-street, where the prisoner took a lodging for the night, and went away in the morning, taking a coat and vest belonging to another lodger, and also robbed him of 28s. in cash. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the latter charge. Here a soldier came forward and claimed the prisoner as a deserter. The prisoner was remanded. TIIE POOR BOX. His Worship received £1 10s. from "X. Y. for the poor box. (Before Messrs. PRESTON and HOUGHTON.) ASSAULT BY A CAPTAIN. Captain Storer, of the American ship Albert Gallatin, was summoned by Joseph Lapworth, who was the cook and steward of the ship, for having assaulted him. Air. Cobb appeared for the complainant, and from his state ment, and the evidence of the complainant and two other persons, it appeared that the steward was doing some work, when the captain told him to go and clean the galley. The complainant asked him if he intended to take his (complainant's) wife back as stewardess, and he said not, when some words passed between them, and the assault was committed, which was said to be a violent one. The captain ad mitted having pushed the complainant, who he said was very insolent. The magistrates were of opinion that the assault was proved, and considered it a serious one. They fined the defendant £5, which he paid at once. LECTURE AT THE CONCERT-HALL.---Yesterday after noon, the Rev. Hugh Stowell Brown gave a lecture at the Concert-hall, under the somewhat quaint title of " I'll have my revenge." The lecture consisted of a vigorous exposition of the Christian doctrine of forgive ness ; and the hall was so crowded by working men, that many hundreds were unable to obtain seats. On Friday, the 25th instant, Mr. S. C. Hall will deliver, at the Royal I ns tit u ti on , hi s l ec t ure on th e " Authors of the Age, a Series of Written Portraits from Personal Acquaintance." Mr. Hall has now compressed the matter which originally made two lectures, into one. which, from its wealth of anecdote and abounding geniality of personal reminiscence, delights every audience that has the good fortune to listen to it. THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.— It is reported that soon after seven o'clock on Friday morning the pointsman at the Broadgreen station of the London and North-Western Railway discovered the mangled remains of a man lying on the line. As the line was perfectly clear when the seven a.m. up-train from Liverpool to Manchester passed, he is supposed to have been connected with it either as guard or breaks man. This supposition is strengthened by the circum stance that he Railway wore the Company. uniform Whenof the fo ond u o u n d at North-Western was almost completely cut to pieces. Foci, YESTERDAY. —During the whole of yesterday, a very heavy fog hung over Liverpool: and on the river at times it was particularly dense. The only ferry boats running were those to and from Woodside, and. these were so timed that one never left either side of the river till the other boat was in sight. Owing to the delay thus occasioned, and the stoppage of the other ferries, the Woodside steamers were excessively crowded every trip ; bells were lung, the fog-whistle blown, and every precaution taken against accioent, fortunately with success. The river was pretty clear of shipping at the time, so that there was less danger from collision than we have previously known to exist; and we have heard of no marine casualties whatever. FIRES, YESTERDAY.—About noon yesterday, a fire broke out in Messrs. Vernon's shipbuilding yard, Bruns wick Dock. Some timber near to the smithy had taken fire ; how is not known. The fire police were promptly in attendance, and, there being an abundant supply of water, the flames were subdued before any material da mage had ensued.—At two o'clock in the afternoon, a fire, which might easily have been of the most disastrous character took place in Macfie's sugar refinery, Bache lor-street. It showed itself in the joiner's shop, on the third story ; but the alarm being promptly given, Mr. Hewitt, with his brigade, arrived with extraordinary celerity, and the supply of water being again abundant the fire was soon got under. Major Greig was in attend ance. NEW PATENTS.—The following new patents have been granted during, the week ended the 15th instant : Samuel Povah, of Liverpool : "An improved combined portable steam-engine, winch, and apparatus or machinery for operating the pumps and parts of the , rigging, warping, raising the anchor, and for other uses on board ship, where power is required, parts of the same and Samuelmebeing applicable Langford, of f r for like uses separately."— Joseph Durham "An improved machine for washing, drying, and dressing currants."— Jas.
