PATRONISED BY THE FACULTY. WOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY. THE rapidly-increasing sale of this invaluable MEDICINE is a convincing proof of its efficacy. The proprietor can confidently recommend it in all cases of Coughs, Sore Throats, Hoa rseness, Loss of Voice, and Weakness of the Chest and Lungs, as well as for the relief and ultimate cure of long-standing Asthmatic Affections, which have offered resist ance to the roost approved remedies. Being entirely free from all noxious ingredients, and beneficial to the system generall:l it may be taken by persons of all aces with perfect safety ; for whilst powerful to beat and give relief to the chest and throat, and to subdue and eradicate cough, its tendency is to cool and purify the blood.

" Dear Sir,—Mrs. Chiseman, of Garden-street, Brompton, has been cured of a cough of four years' standing by taking one box of your Pectoral Candy, and is desirous of expressing her gratitude, in order that others similarly afflicted may ob tain the same benefit. Please send me three dozen of the large boxes for her brother to take out to the Mauritius with him next week. I can also add my testimony that, from the many cases I have seen of its decided efficacy, I am persuaded it stands unrivalled as a general couch medicine.—Yours truly, "To Mr. Woolley."

Sir,—l write to inform you of the great benefit I liave re ceived from taking Locock's Wa ers, which you recommended to me.

Gentlemen,--I have great pleasure in communicating to you a case (among many) which came under my own observation. A lady, who I can refer to, in her assiduous attendance upon her husband during a long and fatal illness, caught cold, and not having taken care of herself, it settled upon her lungs. She was troubled with a dreadful cough, and every symptom of consumption. She applied to her medical man, but did not obtain any relief ; when, upon the recommendation of a friend, she tried Dr. Locock's Wafers, which, from the commenc-- ment, eased her cough, and by continuing them she is perfectly c u red. (Signed) THOMAS DEAN. ANOTHER CURE OF COUGH AND HOARSENESS. Parliament-street, Liverpool. Sir,—lt is with much pleasure I bear testimony to the extra ordinary power of Locock's Wafers. I had been troubled with a cough and hoarseness for nearly two years, without relief, when I was induced to try Locock's Wafers, the effects of which were soon visible, for one large box (2s. Pd.) has quite cured me. I have sit,ce recommended them to several of my friends, and they have also experienced the greatest relief from them.—l remain yours, ever grateful, J. WILLIAMS. IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO SING. From 31r. Edward Page, Director of the Choir and Organist of .st. Peter's Catholic Church, Leamington. Gentlemen, —Having frequently suffered much from relaxa tion of the throat, I have often been obliged to resort to various preparations ; but since 1 have had the good fortune to try Dr. Locock's Puimonic Wafers, I am now but seldom obliged to resort to them, for the extraordinary good effects they have produced are most surprising. Even when the throat appears to be completely exhausted, and the voice to be nearly gone, two or three (at most four) will, in the short space of half an hour or so, completely restore its flexibility and power, and they do not act as a mere t emporary exciting remedy, nor do they leave any lassitude after. Having felt the great value of the remedy, I feel it a duty to generally recommend it, as I am convinced that all persons will find immense benefit from the general and persevering use of it. EDWARD PAGE. To SINGERS and PUBLIC SPEA KERS they are invaluable, as in a few hours they remove all hoarseness, and increase the power and flexibility of the voice. They have a pleasant taste.

DISORDERED STOMACH, INDIGESTION AND DETER MINATION OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD. opy of a Letter front Mr. John Lloyd, of Eric-wen, near Harlech, Merionethshire, dated Pith June, 1852. To Professor Holloway,—Sir,—For a very long period I was afflicted with a dangerous giddiness and frequent swiminings in the head, attended by loss of appetite, disordered stomach, and generally impaired health. Every means had failed to give me any permanent relief, and at length it became so alarming that I was really afraid of going about without an attendant. In this melancholy condition I waited personally upon Mr. Hughes, Chemist, Harlech, for the purpose of consulting him as to what I had better do ; he kindly recommended your Pills, I tried them without delay, and after taking them for a short time I am happy to bear testimony to their wonderful efficacy. lam now restored to perfect health, and enabled to resume my usual duties.

I was tapped five times within eight months, and skilfully treated by two medical practitioners, but could not get cured, until I had recourse to your remedy, and notwithstanding all I had undergone, this miraculous medicine cured me in the course of six weeks.

A WEEK, of which the greater part has been a cessation from labour, in order to mark the anni versary of the death and resurrection of the RE DEEMER, presents but few incidents on which to comment. The almanack tells us that the season is Spring, but the weather has been as severe as in the month of January,—a continuous frost, with hitter cold winds from the North and East, and slight falls of snow, only relieved by bright sun light. Vegetation is consequently kept back, the buds are afraid to open, and the trees are as bare of foliage as they were before Christmas. The ground, however, is dry, and farming operations have been carried on with some activity'; so that, should a fine Summer succeed, we may reasonably expect a fair average harvest, if not something more. The Amusements in Liverpool have, of course, been spare during the past week ; but yesterday, being Easter Monday, they commenced in full activity. At the Theatre Royal, the season was opened with a series of French plays, by the prin cipal artistes of the St. James's Theatre in London. At the Amphitheatre, the legitimate drama has been restored, with " Hamlet," by Mr. GEORGE VANDENIIOFF ; and "Henry V." is promised for Monday next ; and a Grand Concert, by the Car penter Family, took place at the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street. Several similar entertainments are announced, so that music appears to hold its sway amidst commercial activity. Some time since, when the complaint was want of employment, the only remedy that could be devised was Emigration, and the Government was called upon to expatriate the labouring class in order to better the condition of those who remained. The potato-disease and misgovernment in Ireland, as well as the gold discoveries in the remotest regions of the earth, have stimulated emigration to an extent never dreamed of by those who were its warmest advocates, and we are now beginning to reap some of the fruits of this decimation of the industrious population. - We have as yet had no excessive high prices of the necessaries of life, nor any apprehen sions of scarcity; the rise has been so gradual as scarcely to be perceptible; and no man could prove any substantial disadvantage from increased cost of living. But the working man has discovered his improved value in the scarcity of his competitors, for emigration has thinned the ranks; and those who formerly were content to get regular employ ment at the current rate of wages, now boldly demand an advance, in most cases amounting to three shillings a week. Liverpool, within the last few days, has witnessed a series of strikes for the higher remuneration of labour, to which the masters have felt themselves compelled to submit; and this movement has not been confined to skilled artisans, who may be supposed to have less to dread from competition, but has extended to the porters em ployed at the different railway stations, who have succeeded in their object, owing to the necessity of the case depriving their employers of a remedy. It is gratifying to be able to report that there is full employment in Liverpool:for every man who is willing to work ; but we would caution those who have been so ready to take advantage of the neces sity for their services, to beware of the consequences. There are many thousands of able and industrious men in this country to whom the rate of wages weekly paid would have .been a strong temptation to migrate from their homes, had employment been assured them. Changes, when avoidable, are however to be condemned ; yet now the masters in Liverpool have been furnished with ample justifi cation for looking elsewhere for servants ; and since the facilities of railway communication are so great, many of these will not be slow to avail themselves of the opportunity. Another disadvantage attend ing such strikes is, that the enhancement of the wages of labour, by rendering the work unprofitable to the employer, often leads to its being done without; so that, by over-reaching, the workman loses all. On Wednesday a melancholy accident occurred near Wigan, by an explosion in a colliery belonging to the Ince Hall Coal Company. So fatal a dis aster is almost unparalleled in the annals of colliery explosions, as many as forty-five lives having been sacrificed. In such cases it is difficult to tell where the blame rests; but in hazardous pursuits the observance of rules for safety should he despotically enforced, as men constantly exposed to danger are usually the most reckless. PURITY OF ELECTION.—That a flue should have caught fire in Windsor Castle, to the im minent peril and partial injury of that noble build ing, is quite in the ordinary course of events. Flues are made to catch fire. The mishaps of the miserable steamer Australian, waterlogged ap parently by the weight of her own coal, are still less surprising. Nor can we lift up our hands or eyes at the disclosures which Mr. Duncombe's pleasant malice has elicted from the Norwich petition inquiry by simply letting several angry men question each other to their hearts' content. The substance of these disclosures is merely that Colonel Forester has acquired (by occupancy, we suppose) a sort of property in one of the dressing.. rooms at the Carlton, where he keeps (like Miss Flite) his " documents," and sees Mr. Brown; that constituencies in want of candidates may he accommodated by the same gentleman, with secrecy and despatch; that petitions, good, bad, and in different, are sometimes got up, cancelled, com promised, and manipulated in all sorts of ways " for the good of the party." Facts which can scarcely astonish the most unsophisticated stranger who strays along the pavement of Pall-mall.— Guardian. THE CLERGY RESERVES (CANADA) BILL changes its hues as variously as a cameleon. The effect of the vote obtained by Lord Jonx RUSSELL on Friday is simply this. If the Canadian Legisla ture secularize the clergy funds, the people of Eng land will probably have to pay out of their own pockets, by taxation, the clergy who give spiritual instruction to the people of Canada. Oxford University must surely blush for Mr. GLADSTONE'S conduct and apology for it on this occasion. He looks on with approbation at the confiscation of Church property ; but adds, as by way of excuse, that he will watch with anxiety as to what the Canadian Parliament may do with the plunder. This is as bad as the apology made by GEORGE SELWYN when a lady reproved him for his barba rity in being present at the execution of Lord LOVAT. "It is true (said the wit) that I went in the morning to see Lord LovAT's head cut off; but I went also in the afternoon to see the surgeons sew it on again !"—Church and State Gazette. CHRISTIAN EDUCATION. - What we are in danger of forgetting is, that we cannot separate the social and moral progress of the world from that Christianity w hich is the basis of it a ll ; an d, there fore, that it is the more incumbent on us , on a ll, to guard against a negation of positive Christianity, by substituting an abstract theory of politi ca l sc ience ; and also, against taking all the good fruits of Christianity and the Church without gratitude, and without return. Let us see that, as we im prove in the arts of life, we are not careless of its duties. As we multiply our railways that many may run to and fro, let us also increase our schools, that knowledge may be increased. If we build new cities that men may prosper as to this world, let provision be made for new churches bytthhe progress that p the g n r e e x s t s world may not be unheeded. If, of machinery, there is less demand for man's physi cal powers, let us seek to call into beneficial exercise his intellectu a l g ifts. If, in the progress of things, there beagreat refinement as to all that is of the earth earthy, let those who enjoy it rise to the true height of th e i r mora l di gn i t y, as having destinies that are heavenly. There is much to be done be fore any laudation of our progress in any intrinsic good can be consistent. It is a poor progress that looks no further than this life, and does not carry THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 1853. Yibtrp,od men• forward to their full capacities. And yet it is this poor progress which just now it is the fashion to exalt and cry up. Men have pulled down their barns and built greater, and multiplied their cities, and magnified their resources. But our home parishes, our colonies, and distant missionary settlements, bear witness that there is a great lack somewhere of the liberality and self•denying energy which should characterise a prosperous Christian country.—horning Post. EDUCATION IN INDIA.—Most of the crying abominations of Indian mis-rule have been one by one abolished, since the actual Government passed away from Leadenhall-street to Cannon-row. The practice of requiring soldiers to fire salutes in honour of idols, is, we believe, not yet obsolete, although Sir PEREGRINE MAITLAND'S resignation of his command at Madras, was the means of call ing public attention to a practice which could not bear the light of day. But it is in regard to Christian education, that the Government in India is now most worthy of censure. To give no educa tion at all was the object of the Company when merchandise was its chief pursuit. Mr. 'WILBER FORCE'S efforts to surmount these prejudices were at first circumscribed by the manoeuvres of the Directors ; and when after thirty years' continuance of Mr. PITT'S double form of Government, Parlia ment interfered, it was only to compel the Govern ment to give £lO,OOO a-year for the education of a people paying no less than fifteen millions in taxes. We have no confidence in any scheme of education likely to be proposed by Mr. BRIGHT, but it was humiliating to hear him say, and say with truth, before the House of Commons, that the City of Manchester, with 400,000 inhabitants, expended yearly twenty times as much, "in improvements for the benefit of the people," as the India Company had expended for the education of the millions and millions of human beings committed to their care. —Record. of Montenegrins, which had passed the night in a convent on the frontiers of the nahia Piperska (probably Piperi), at break of day fell upon the van, while a stronger corps took the Turks in the rear. Omer Pasha attempted to bring his artillery to bear upon the enemy, but this, owing to the nature of the ground, was soon found to be impossible. The Turkish General had calculated on finding o.3man Pasha's corps at Dioklea (the birth-place of the Emperor Diocletian), but that commander, it appears, had already been obliged to evacuate Montenegro. Half-dead with fatigue, the troops pushed on to a place called Rogani, which they did not reach till after midnight. The Montenegrins did not lose sight of the retreating corps for a single moment, although bodies of horse were continually sent out to disperse them. On the approach of the cavalry the Montenegrins threw themselves fiat on the ground, and fired with such deadly effect that the Turks, who did not know where to seek the enemy, became confused and dismayed. During the following night the Montenegrins threw up strong entrenchments, and as the Mussulmans marched in the morning towards Bari, they were exposed to a most galling fire. As the inhabitants of the mountainous districts of the Berda nahias continually poured in to the assistance of their countrymen, it was in vain that fierce attempts were made to force the entrenchments. Late in the evening of the 26th the Pasha succeeded in reaching Podgorizza with his worn-out troops. The loss on the part of the Turks must have been very'grtat, as the line of retreat was strewed with their dead bodies. The bodies of 1,913 horses, which had fallen victims to the inclemency of the weather, have been counted on the table-land of Grahovo. - _ AMERICA.—; the United States mail steam-ship Humbcldt, which touched off Cowes, on Thursday night, en route for Havre, we have accounts from 14 - ew York to the 13th instant, being four days later. . On the 13th instant, when fifteen miles east of sandy Hook, the Humboldt spoke the British and North Ame rican mail-steamer Africa, bound in, and then fifteen days out from Liverpool. The screw steam-ship Glasgow arrived at New York, from the Clyde, on the 12th instant. On the 20th instant, in lat. 48.30, long. 29.25, the Humboldt passed the wreck of a large ship with mainmast gone a few feet above the deck, fore and mizen masts gone below the tops ; the bulwarks were gone and the decks swept. She appeared to be waterlogged. Her model appeared to be English. The American papers are chiefly occupied with accounts of the proceedings in the senate at 'Washington, and of the immense intriguing going on at the capital by the swarms of officz , seekers who are laylup diligent siege to the new President and his cabinet. Intelligence from New Orleans, of the 9th instant, says :—Cotton has been in brisk demand during the last four days, the sales reaching 54,000 bales. The increased receipts at all the southern ports over the same time last year now amount to 529,000 bales. Prices are firm. ECCLESIASTICAL. DIOCESE OF CHESTER. Preferments: The Rev.

THE CHURCH IN THE EOUTH SEAS.—The friends of the Melanesian Mission will be rejoiced to hear that the Bishop of New Zealand returned in good health and spi rits to St. John's College, Auckland, October 19, 1852, after a voyage of exactly four months, to and among the Solomon . Isles and New Hebrides. He was received everywhere gladly, and treated with the utmost kindness, and no where more so than at Eromango, where Williams lost his- life, and at Mallicolo, where he himself was exposed to so much danger last year. He has brought home with him to St. John's College for education twenty two boys and two girls, and might have brought hundreds, had he had the means of conveyance and maintenance. FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE. —An imperial decree announces that a universal exhibition of agricultural and industrial produc tions will take place in Paris, in the Palace of Industry in the Champs Elysees, on the Ist May, 1833, to close on the 30th September. A Paris correspondent intimates that the Emperor has skilfully availed himself of the desire of Russia. Austria, and Prussia, to come to terms about the residence of foreign refugees, to obtain the consent of the respective Courts to his coronation by the Pope, (about the 10th of May,) in imitation of Napoleon and Charlemagne; but whether anything may upset this arrangement is another question ; many things may, and as a not improbable one he instances the renewal of his dispute relative to the custody of the Holy Shrines, which would perhaps have been a cause of serious misunderstanding between France and Russia. if the former had not drawn back when the latter signified dissatisfaction and maintained her claims. A letter from Bayonne of the 17th inst. states that the fever of emigration appeals to increase in that neighbour hood. The ships now clearing out for Montevideo have on board 600 young and healthy Basques as passengers. The Marseilles papers of the 22d announce that on the 20th a violent storm had caused numerous casualties. All the ships moored in the new port had more or less suffered. A hundred pleasure-boats had been sunk. The English steamer Caradoc, dragging her anchors, was only enabled to secure herself by the use of her engines. The departure of the Levant packet Lougsor had been delayed, to wait for despatches from the government. ITALY.—The Pope of Rome, at the request of the Dutch Government, has created an Archbishop of Utrecht, and four Suffragan Bishops. PRUSSIA.—The King of Prussia, it is said, will positively go to Vienna on the first of April, on a visit to the Emperor of Austria. The members of the Zollverein Conference held a sitting on the lith, v% ben all un reservedly approved the accession of Hanover to the union. A letter from Berlin, of the 18th, says :—" The President of the Council presented to the Chambers to-day the treaty of Commerce concluded between Prussia and Austria." The Chambers were adjourned to sth April. AUSTRIA.—His Apostolic Mijesty Francis Joseph has just received a valuable present from Rome ; it is a tooth said to have been taken by his Holiness's own fin gers from the jaw of St. Peter. This relic was presented on the 17th by the Nuncio, Cardinal Viale Prela, in a costly " Ostensorium." TURKEY.— Accounts from Constantinople dwell prin cipally on the mission of the Russian Minister of Marine, General Prince Menschikoff, and are of considerable in terest and importance. Before embarking at Odessa, he passed a review of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea, and of the corps of disembarkation which Russia has kept on a war-footing in the port of Sebastopol since 1833. Twenty-seven vessels of war—ships of the line, frigates. or large steamers—and 30,000 soldiers were assembled. The general then proceeded to Constantinople on board the Russian war-steamer the Foudroyant, and arrived in that city on the 28th of February. He was accompanied by Count Dirnitri Nesselrode, as secretary ; by two gene rals, by two admirals, by two colonels and two lieutenant colonels, as aides-de-camp, and by five captains as orderly officers. Since the celebrated embassy of Koutousoff at the end of the last century, no mission of this kind has been seen at Constantinople. Prince Menschikuff and his suite were received, on disembarking at Topkhane, by all the employe's of the Russian Embassy, and by between 6,000 and 8,000 members of the Greek religion ; and he was escorted by them with great pomp to his hotel. On the 2d of March the Prince went to the Porte to pay a visit to the Grand Vizier, but, contrary to all usages, he did not appear in the uniform of his rank, but in plain clothes. What took place at the interview is not pre cisely known ; but what is certain is, that when, on taking his leave, the Grand Vizier invited him, in con formity with the diplomatic usage at Constantinople, to pay a visit to the •Minister of Foreign Affairs, Fuad Effendi, who was waiting to receive him, he replied that he would not see that minister, as his government, and especially its accredited minister as Constantinople, M. Ozeroff, had to reproach him with several breaches of faith. In consequence of this, Fuad Effendi gave in his resignation. It is said in one of the letters from Con stantinople that the Prince demanded, in the name of his government, that the Emperor of Russia should henceforth be officially recognised as the protector of the Greek Christians, subjects of Turkey, as France has been for some centuries of the Catholics in the Levant ; and that the election of the patriarch of Constantinople should henceforth be made by the Greeks, and confirmed by the Emperor of Russia, to the exclusion of the Sultan, who at present has the right of nomination and investiture. The day after this interview Fuad Effendi was replaced by Rifaat Pacha, who has been nominated ambassador at Vienna, and who is considered one of the chiefs of what is called the Austrian Party at Constantinople. The ministers held a council the same day, and put them selves in communication with the foreign diplomatic body. Some days after Prince Menschikoff had his audi ence of the Grand Vizier, Colonel Rose, the British Charge d'A f faires at Constantinople, either upon the solicitation of the Turkish government, or of his own idea, sent a steamer to Malta, with a request to Admiral Dundas that he would bring her Majesty's fleet in the Mediterranean to Basika-bay or some point near the mouth of the Dardanelles. The French Chargd d'Affaires at Constantinople, on being consulted by his colleague, did not concur in the measure proposed by Colonel Rose. Upon the arrival of the Wasp steamer at Malta with this request from Colonel Rose, Admiral Dundas was of opi nion that his instructions did not enable him to comply with it under the circumstances alleged to have occurred. The fleet, therefore, remains in harbour. The English fleet had not left Malta down to the latest accounts received from that place. In connection with this movement it is affirmed in a letter from Paris, that a treaty—the details of which have not transpired—has ac tually been signed between England and France, with a view to concerted action in the affairs of Turkey, in given circumstances. Lord Stratford de Redcliffe has left Paris by way of Vienna, to embark at Trieste upon a steam-boat waiting there to receive him. The French fleet, under the orders of Vice-Admiral De La Susse, left Toulon, on Tuesday. It was composed of eight sailing vessels of war and four steamers. It will be joined by the four steamers stationed in the Archipelago, commanded by Rear-Admiral Romain Des Fosses. The English squadron consists of five ships-of-the-line, three frigates, two corvettes, and twelve steamers ; and the Turkish fleet, of four ships-of-the-line, three frigates, eight brigs, and six steamers. The force of the Turkish fleet will be doubled by the junction of the Egyptian ships. The Russian fleet at Sebastopol was composed of thirteen ships-of-the-line, eight frigates, and other ves sels of less force. Accounts from Constantinople to the 14th instant, via Vier.na, state that Prince Menschikoff had his audience of the Sultan on the 9th, and made known to him the demands of his government. As far as has already transpired, these demands differ in many respects from what had been at first announced ; the Russian ultimatum is said to be much less severe and of more easy acceptance. The language of Prince Menschikoff is, moreover, said to have been very moderate, and the Sul tan and the Envoy Extraordinary of the Emperor Nicho las are said to have parted well satisfied with each other. A Paris correspondent, writing on Tuesday, says : 7 " I have just learned that the Turkish ambassador in Paris has received despatches from Constantinop le, whic h announce that the negotiations between Prince Menschi koff and the Porte are already terminated ; that Prince Menschikoff made some modifications in the pretensions which he at first announced ; and that the Sultan has accepted the modified propositions. I also understand that at a council of ministers, held this day at the Tuile ries, at which Louis Napoleon presided, it was stated that the affair might be cons'dered as terminated, and that all danger of a rupture of the public peace was at an end." MONTENEGRO.—The retreat of. the Turks from Montenegro has been disastrous in the extreme. As soon as Omer Pasha received his instructions from Constanti nople, which were conveyed to him in five days (the Tartar rode seven horses to death between the Turkish capital and Spuss) he proceeded to obey them. On the 25th, after leaving a strong garrison in Spuss, with 20 cannon, under the command of his youthful nephew, Tesvik Bey, the Marshal marched south towards Pod. gorizza. The weather was execrable, and Omer Pasha's aim was by forced marches to reach Podgorizza, or perhaps Scutari, before his enemies could throw any serious difficulties in his way. The army had to cross the Zetta, which had left its banks and transformed the whole country around into swamps and lakes. The irregular troops formed the van, the artillery followed, then came the Nizam (regulars), and lastly the cavalry. In this order the troops commenced their march, but the " bottomless " roads and the difficulties presented by the terrain soon threw thew into confusion. A detachment FOREIGN MISCELLANY. THE New York Journal of Commerce denies the state ment that the French government had ordered a " fleet of war steamers" to be built in New York. THE CORONATION OF THE EMPEROR AND ;tit EM PRESS.—lmmediately after the Easter holydays the doors of Notre Dame will be closed to the public, and the pre parations for the coronation will commence. MISS FREDERICA BREMER promises to publish a work on American slavery. She has excited the ire of the South by saying that she has witnessed worse things than those described in " Uncle Tom's Cabin." IMPERIAL TASTE.—A Frankfort journal states that it is able to communicate the interesting fact that General O'Donnell has received from the Archduchess Sophia, in. memorial of the service he rendered the Emperor on the 18th ult., a gold ring with a large turquoise. Under the stone are several hairs of the Emperor, clotted with the Imperial blood. ENORMOUS- AVALANCHE.—An enormous avalanche of snow fell a few days ago from one of the high mountains at Reboul, department of the Ariege. It swept away crops, trees, and detached houses, and completely buried the hamlet, with all its population. 40U men from the adja cent village immediately assembled, and after a great deal of labour, succeeded in rescuing 12 persons; they were all sadly bruised and partly frozen, but it is hoped they will recover. Nine dead bodies, three of them children, were dug out of the ruins ; as were also a number of horses and oxen. THE SYDNEY• PAPERS attack Melbourne with much fierceness, as the scene of lawless plunder and the land of murders. The Victorians are incensed at the aspersions, and request Sydney editors not to give currency to false hoods, which can only have the effect of retarding the progress of British emigration—already impeded to a great enough extent by the foul name of Botany Bay. THE GOLD FIELDS MANAGEMENT BILL, which had passed through committee of the Sydney Legislature in December last, imposes a double license upon foreigners ; all persons suspected to be aliens shall be deemed to be such, unless they prove the contrary ; and a fee of £25 is to be paid by applicants for quarterly " claims," as a test of their bona fide.?• . ! The diggers declare that, if this bill passes, they and the diggins are done for. BLACK MILITIA.—It is in contemplation to build a barrack for 300 . men, at Cape St. Mary, a most - salubrious spot, about eight miles from Bathurst, on the Gambia, and also permanently to embody the militia in that colony. Percussion muskets have already been shipped for that force, and the clothing is being prepared without delay. The strength of the regular troops (black) at pre sent in garrison does not exceed 180 rank and file.— United Service Gazette, ECUADOR.—Letters from Guayaquil, dated February 1, received by the West India mail, announce the dis covery of gold deposits in the Republic of Ecuador, at a place called Jama. Nothing appears to have been ascer tained with regard to their extent, but various rumours were in circulation, some of which represented the riches of the district to he extremely great. About 400 persons are stated to have proceeded there from the surrounding districts, and two vessels were about to take passengers from Guayaquil to the nearest point by which the mines could be reached from the coast. A WHOLESALE MURDERER.—A horrible discovery has been made by the police of Toulon. For some time past public rumour signalised a house, occupied by an agent for finding substitutes for the army, as the theatre of a series of atrocious dramas. Minute searches having been made, about 20 corpses buried in the cellars of the house were found. It appears that the victims were successively assassinated, and that the death of the first took place several years ago. The confessions of a woman in her last moments placed, we are assured, justice on the trace of the crimes. The victims were military substitutes received by the Conscils.de Revision; and the man mur dered them in order not to have to pay the price of their enrolment." THE FORTY THIEVES IN PARIS. — The pollee of Paris have just arrested a band of forty thieves, amongst whom are several children, aged 12 or 14. This band was under the orders of a man who has been several times condemned by justice. From his ignoble ugliness he was nicknamed " Tete de Morte," and all the band had nicknames. The second in command was called " Fine Oreille," and the other chief bore the names of the " Anguille," the " CEd Arn6ricain," the "Fiancheur," "Mort a la Rousse," &c. The gang practised different species of robberies. The band were accustomed to take their meals together in a lodging house in the Rue Beaubourg, and every Sunday a division of the profits was made amongst them according to a scale fixed by " Tete de Mort." All the gang and the chief were captured at the same time, and a considerable quan tity of different sorts of booty was seized.—French paper. THE WILD MAN OF ALABANIA.—A wild man named Goings (says an American paper), originally from East Tenessee, who has been living in the hollow of trees and caves, and who has frequently been mentioned in the newspapers, was recently captured near Florence, Ala bama. He is from 25 to 30 years of age. He had been surprised several times by parties, and tales of romantic encounters with him were deemed fabulous heretofore. Last December an attempt was made to capture him, but he eluded his pursuers, and forsook his then quarters in the hollow of a chestnut tree. A pack of hounds after wards got on his trail, but owing to the rugged character of the country, the horsemen could not keep up, and the fugitive was lost in the waters of Shoal Creek. All fur ther pursuit was then abandoned, and many believed the whole story fabulous, until last Sunday week, a boy, belonging to A. P. Neely, reported to his master that he had seen a man upon the bluffs near a noted cave, on the plantation of Judge Posey. M. Neely immediately col lected a number of gentlemen, and proceeded to the spot indicated. The day was one of the most inclement of the season. On nearing the mouth of the cave, they ciisco vered the shivering form the poor wretch buried be neath a covering of straw, He paid no attention to their summons to come forth, and one of the company (thought lessly we hope) tossed in a dog, which, making a furious assault, brought the hapless recluse to his feet. He then came out in a state of almost perfect nudity, presenting a picture of abject misery and squalid wretchedness, which utterly beggars all description, and we shall not attempt it. He appeared perfectly sane, but gave no satisfactory reasons for his singular conduct, beyond a general charge that the world had treated him badly, and he had deter mined to come out from it. He protested that he had done no man harm, and begged to be allowed to continue his solitary life, but he finally agreed to go. home with Mr. Eastrage, which ho did, and when we last heard of him he was suffering from a violent cold, contracted no doubt by his sudden change from a worse than savage to a civi lised life. ADVERTISEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.—We extract the following from the New York Tribune :—" Boarders wanted.--A middle-aged lady, who has once enjoyed the smiles of fortune, but who, from inevitable causes, has be come somewhat reduced in her circumstances, proposes opening a respectable, not geuleel, boarding-house in this city, provided she can obtain a limited number of boarders who can appreciate good living and are willing to pay for it. Her house is new, convenient, and in a pleasant location — her table will be supplied with good substantial food, well-cooked ; athletic butter, equivocal eggs, promiscuous hash, malignant coffee with consumptive milk will be ex cluded—neither will she regale her guests with the grizzle of the patient ox, burnt up in his own tallow : having her regular grocer, milkman, and butcher—she is under no necessity of scouring the market to obtain articles half a cent per pound under price, which are 'good enouyhfor hoarders.' Those who are willing to live on buckwheat cakes exclusively will be charged half price only, but will not be guaranteed against salt rheum and cancers ; ginger snaps and hot water will be provided for those who wear false teeth, if required—but those who Lave sound teeth and healthy gums are advised to give this compound a wide berth—comfort not show being her aim. The kitchen will be looked into occasionally if the parlours get less furbishing ; not having any male or female pets to clothe and feed out of her boarders, she will not be obliged to curtail in her table to meet such expenses; and having two ears with one tongue, will devote twice the time to hearing what her boarders wish that some do in taking away their appetites. What leisure she may have will be devoted more to her own personal cleanliness than ogling and smelling round boarders' rooms to find out their habits. Boarders' religious creeds and political opinions will form no part of her solicitude, and as she does not covet the marriage state, will not keep up a tiresome, toady gabble, to some particular guest of eligible age and fortune. Those desirous of finding a home of this description, will please address Mrs. Ann T. Mak Lean, at this office." IRELAND.

Several Chapels have been broken into and robbed all around— Newbridge, Kildare, &c.,—the Chapel at Naas on two occasions ; the mass books torn, the valuable ornaments carried away, and no clue as yet to the perpetrators. The priests threatened at the altar that whoever did it would be turned into goats, but al to no purpose—the plunder ing still goes on. THE MEMORY OF THE DEAD.-11r. Charles Bianconi, who is at preent in Rome, writes to the Telepaph, say ing that he has found there the heart of O'Connell in the same condition in which it was deposited by the hands of Mr. Miley, the confessor of the agitator. Nothing has been done with respect to the erection of a monument in Rome to this relic of the deceased, and accordingly Mr. Bianconi, the " alien," declares, that if none others will take upon themselves to accomplish something worthy of the man, he will, at his own expense, raise a monument to perpetuate the memory of Mr. O'Connell in Rome. TUE EXODUS.—The accounts still continue the tale of many past weeks, that the tide of emigration is growing stronger rather than weaker. The Galway Packet statea that every postfrom America bringsitssupply ofremittances, upon the receipt of which crowds hurry away. Neither is the tide alone from the west, other provinces furnish their quota. The Tipperary Free Press states that on Thurs day forty " stalwart men and fair women," tenants and labourers of Lord Donoughmore, passed through the town on their way to Liverpool for embarkation. On Friday, 320 sailed from Waterford. Judging from appearances, " the majority appeared to have been comfortable a home, but seeing no prospect of advancing, they have made the far West the land of their adoption. The Cionmel CAro nicle, writing upon the same engrossing topic, states that according as the season progresses, the flight of the people marches with it, adding Wholeparisbes sire pre paring to leave the upper part of this county, and the isolated groups which pass through this town onward to Waterford era route to Liverpool, there to take shipping for the far West, present to our eyes a very painful spectacle indeed, inasmuch as they demonstrate the miserable state of our country. Within the last ten days, upwards of 150 per sons of both sexes left Clonmel upon Bianconi's long cars to Waterford ; and when we add to them, if in our power to do so, the numbers which have passed on either their own or hired cars or drays, the amount would be really as tonishing, if not incredible. Such it is, however, and where it will end, no one can tell. The number of etters from all parts of the States passing through the Post-office here, and dispersed all over the country is amazing ; and it is calculated that 95 at least out of every 100 contain remittances to pay the passage of either one, two, or per haps three out of every family.

J. R. Conor, incumbent of St. Simon's Church, Gloucester street. The defendant appeared about 40 years of age. was neatly attired, but her peculiar manner indicated that she was labouring under an aberration of intellect.. Upon her name being called, she stood forward and emphatically said, " That is not my name ; my name is Ann Lathom. She then displayed a small parcel of thyme, and ejacu lated, "This is it." Mr. Wybergh told her that she was chareed by the Rev. Mr. Conor with having, on the 21st instant, used abusive language to him in Bolton-street, with intent to provoke a breach of the peace.—Defendant : Oh, no, sir.—The Rev. Mr. Conor said that he became acquainted with the woman fourteen years ago, in conse quence of being connected with the Provident Society, but latterly she was deranged, and had become a perfect nuisance in the church. On Monday night last he was leaving St. Simon's school-room, when the defendant rushed into the passage and endeavoured to stop him, in order to have some conversation with him. He, however, declined to speak to her, and then a witness came up, when she entered into an altercation with him. He (Mr. Conor) did not hear her then make use of abusive lan guage, but she had disturbed him when preaching in church, by crying out that he would go to hell.—Defen dant (excited) : Never, sir.—The rev. Mr. Conor conti nued by saying that lately, when administering the holy communiore, defendant was forbidden to approach, but she persisted, and, in order to prevent a , disturbance, he permitted her to come near him. She then seized his sur plice, and tore it.—Defendant (to Mr. Conor) : You were married before you were married in Liverpool ; you have done wrong. She further said, " You are the man that has done my job for me, and you must look to me. He knows plenty."—Mr. James Lowe, scripture . reader in connexion with St. Simon's Church, said he was• present when the occurrence in question took place. Mr. Conor walked away when the defendant attacked him. She then said that she was an injured woman, and would not rest until she had satisfaction from Mr. Conor. That gentle man, she said, had committed adultery with bar, and was the father of one of her children.—Mr. W. Nicol;•the magistrate, asked the unfortunate woman what she had to say ?—Defendant : I have nothing to say only this.- I am twenty years under persecution, and it all rests upon Mr. Conor. lam like Ridley and Latimer ; lam in the tire, but not blazing. T want to get out of the persecu tion lam in. lam persecuted body and soul. I cannot' get peace ; therefore, I want to-be rid of them. Put the fire out of me at once, and get rid of me.—The Rev. Mr. Conor" asked the magistrate whether it was necessary to swear" that he never had any improper intimacy with the woman. —Mr. Nicol : No, not at all.—Defendant (to Mr. Conor): My John is your son, and you sent' him away.—The ma gistrate expressed an opinion that the woman was insane, and a surgeon who was sent for from the Northern Hos pital said, that there was not the slightest doubt that she was labouring under insanity. The deranged woman was then removed in the custody of an officer.—The Rev. Mr. Conor again asked the magistrate whether he should say anything in reference to the assertion of the defendant affecting his character, but Mr. Nicol said there was no occasion, as it was quite evident the woman was insane. IMPROVEMENT OF BRITISH INDIA. A meeting of the bankers, merchants,• and manufac turers of Manchester was held in the Town-hall, on Tuesday, to consider what suggestions that community ought to make to Government or to Par:lament for the better development of the resources of British Lndia, and the consequent amelioration in the condition of the people. A petition was adopted, embracing certain suggestions which the Government were urged to adopt b any enact ment for the future Government of India, which they might introduce. The principal of these suggestions were : 1. That it be regarded as the imperative duty of the Government of India to promote the cultivation of the soil, and to remove all obstacles which impede the progress of industry. 2. That beyond making useful experiments, -the Go vernment should not be permitted to become cultivators, manufacturers, or traders. 3. That in conducting their financial operations, the Government should be forbidden to become purchasers of any kind of produce on their cwn account, or to nceive by hypothecation produce purchased by any other party , -I. That the , Government be compelled to expend a portion of the revenues collected in India in the develop ment of the resources of the country, as well as to afford every facility for its profitable occupation ; .that, with this view, such public works should be promoted as are calculated to facilitate intercourse with or improve the physical condition of the population, to increase-the pro duction of cotton and other 'Joinable raw materihls, as also to encourage a system of general industry. 5. That ten per cent. of the revenues of India he ap plied to the public works above alluded to. G. That the application of the. portion of revenue allotted to useful public works be under the control of a " Board of Works," established and conducted in India, the members of which should have full, extensive, but defined powers, and be nominated jointly by the im perial Government and the Indian executive. 7. That the Government should give every facility for the permanent occupation of land, -by removing.thu ob jections so often urged to a fluctuating land-tax, by en couraging the purchase, for cultivation, of-the waste and other lands of India, and by giving such certainty. of tenure as will ensure re safe application of capital to the universal cultivation of the soil. 8. That prompt attention be paid to the removal of evils now existing in India, consequent upon the uncer tainty of the due administration of justice, and the pre vailing ignorance of the people. 9. That an annual detailed report on all East-India affairs should, as was formerly done, be laid. before Parliament by a Minister of the Crown. The meeting was addressed by. Mr. T. Baxley, Presi dent of the. Chamber of Commerce, Mr. J. A. Turner, President of the Commercial Association, 3%. Bright, M.P., H. Ashworth, and other gentlemen. It was agreed to transmit copies of the petition to the various commercial ,and manufacturing bodies of the United Kingdom. .in order that a joint deputation might be formed to the President of the Board of Control. UNION OF THE LIVE - RPOOL_IND BIRKENHEAD. DOCKS-. At the meeting of the Dock Committee on. Thursday, Mr. C. TURNER, M.P., presided. In regArd , to an invitation from the Town Council to consider the subject of establishing a superannuation fund, a long and interesting discussion took place. A resolutiorn to the effect that no superannuation fund was called for,. was carried by a majority of 10 to 6.. The CILAIRMAN said that was all the gensral'hosinesa but he had a subject to mention, a matter of-, importance , before the reporters retired. During his staydn. Loudon, he had had several conversations with Sir Joseph Bailey in reference to the dock estate, and, during those conver sations, a strong opinion was elicited that tha dock estates on both sides of the water should be under one manage ment. it went to this extent, that Sir Joseph Bailey expressed his opinion that , it was very desirable a small sub-committee of that committee should• bo- a ppointed, . to confer with those interested on the other side of the water, with the view of seeing if any terms could be arranged. He had asked his (Mr. Tarnees) opinion ndividually ; and, as ho-bad nothing to disguise, he told him his opinion was, that, • if terms could be arranged satisfactorily, the committee and parties in the town thought it would be desirable that all dock affairs on the Mersey should be under.one rxinagemeet. And he thought, if the committee agreed with him, that Sir Joseph Bailey's recommendation should be adopted, and that a small sub-committee should be appointed. Of course the general committee would not be bound by them, but they could draw up some arrangement which cc.uld be submitted. Mr. BARB E R asked the chai rman if it was a casua l con versation, or if Sir Joseph Bailey had communicated with him in an official capacity ? The CHAIRMAN, said he had met Sir Joseph Bailey many times, and at one of those meetings, in the lobby of the House of Commons, he had asked him his opinion upon the question of the dock estates of the Mersey. He had seen him several times, and this had always formed the subject of conversation. Mr. BARBER.—You think that Sir Joseph Bailey suf-. ficiently represents the dock interests at Birkenhead to open the door to negotiation ?. The CHAIAMAN.—He stated that he could commit , nobody, but his candid opinion was that, if a committee were appointed, terms might be come to. Mr. GLADSTpNE.—What is the state of the Birken.. head dock affairs. Is this application informa pauperise The CRAIRMAN did not think that. They had a„ con tract with Mr. Brassey to finish certain works ; ankl,they saw their way, or stated they did so, after the contrast was finished, of raising further honey to proceed with the works ; but they' thought it desirable, also, that the whole of those works should be under one marlagement, and not in rivalry. Mr. EyANs.—What does " one management mean ?" Let us understand it. Is it that we are to purchase them? The CHAIRMELN.—Certainly. Mr. EvANs..—Then what is the use of , going round about it ? The CHATS mAN.—I am not. Mr. EvANs.—l am not observing it on your part, but theirs. The CHAIRMAN thought he might mention this. He had said to Sir J oseph Bailey that it was of no use ap pointing a committee to make any offez; and, if any offer were made, it should be laid before the general committee., In answer to Mr. Brocklebank, The CHAIRMAN stated that Sir Joseph Bailey was chairman of the Birkenhead Dock Warehouse Company. He was a most active man, and most deeply interested. He had an enormous stake. Mr. BARBER asked (as was understood) if Baron Gold smidt was not the principal party to be consulted ? The CHAIRMAN said yes, he had a large stake ; but the only point to be considered was the appointment of e committee to talk the matter over. Mr. SHAND would name Mr. Gladstone as one of the committee. The CHAIRMAN stated that Sir Joseph Bailey had said he would name a committee of three, to meet three to be ap pointed by the committee, to talk the matter over freely. He (Mr. Turner) should propose himself one. Mr. Glad stone another, and Mr. Bold, as chairman of the parlia mentary sub-committee, the third. Mr. STEELE thought their interviews, would be of little avail unless they had Baron Goldsmidt with them as well. Otherwise a negotiation with Sir Joseph Bailey would have little effect, because they were diametrically opposed* The CHAIRMAN said—No, they were not now. They had become reconciled. Mr. EVANS.—Are they prepared to take 43. in the pound (laughter) ? THE CHAIRMAN.—I cannot say anything about it. Mr. LANGSDALE.—It is quite irrelevant to, the subject. Mr. EVANS—WeII, you have as much a bargain to mak e as them. After some further conversation, the three gentlemen named by the chairman was appointed ; but it was agrefa that no official reco r d o f th e procee di ng s h ou ld be made , —Mr. Rankin prot es ti ng aga i ns t it on th e gr ound thar , ' after the manner in whi c h th e l as t nego tiations kad bee n broken, it was for the Birkenhead proprietors to, wake an offer.
