EVERY ,D .IPTION OP MUSIC AL INSTRUMENTS ed in the most satisfactory mantle] OBSERVE !-76, LORD-STREET gorttwru Eitic WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 1859 --......4:6•..- DAY'S NEWS We are still without any details of the battle of Salferino, and imagination is at its stretch to find out how many have fallen, how many prisoners taken, and the other trophies left in the hands of the French in the gielat event of the 24th of June. The inference from the official telegram is that the French army suffered so severely that two ,days after the battle it was still unable to resume the offensive. Large accumulations of coal are being made at Cherbourg and Rochefort. The Austrians have sunk five small vessels, a large frigate, and three Lloyd's steamers in the port of Manoloeo, to prevent the passage of a French luadron Austrian corn inferior military should The generalship of the maulers seems to have been of a very order. The first rule which the student has • to learn is, that h( never engage with a deep stream in his rear. Nevertheless, - the-Austrians crossed the Mincio at four points, and attacked the camp of the-French. Tlieir right wing'Preised forvia . id to Pozzolengo, Solferino, and Cavriana. The former of these towns is a little to the south-west of Peschiera, and the last lies two miles or so east of the high road from Mantua to Castiglione. The left wing of the Austrian army, passing by Guidizplo, pushed on as far as Castel goffrede , which is only a'short 'distance from the river Chiese, driving the enemy before them. But this. success was of small avail. Before ten o'clock Louis Napoleon had advanced the French troops from Montechiaro, Carpenedolo, and Visano, which encountered the Austrians with their irresis tible elan, - and pressing hard upon their centre, espe cially around Solferino, which was heroically de fended, forced them back towards the river. It must have been, throughout, a fearful struggle, for when evening came each of the belligerents stood- exhausted on the field. The Austrians, however, withdrew, as the Imperial telegram describes it, to the left bank - of tlieMincio during the night, whilst the French did not attempt to-.follow oi.• molest them. This in itself is a significant - circuinstance, and speaks volumes for the courage and military discipline of the soldiers of Francis Joseph. If they cannot obtain a victory, they do not allow their adversary to win his laurels cheaply. If they are compelled to abandon their -fortified positions, they so cripple their enemy_ as to render pursnit *possible, or at least imprudent. The Milan Gazette states, that the number of political prisoners whom the Austrians carried away with them amounted to 107, who are now in the fortress of Verona. The principal members of the two Chambers of Massam have iSsued'a sort of appeal to the German nation, declaring that, though they are disposed to combat for Germany, they will not do so for the maintenance of the treaties of 1315. The Cabinet of Saxony has replied to. Prince Gortsenakoff's recent despatch ; and a case is quoted against him .which occurred during the Russian war. A t t ha t p e r i o d, th e G erma ni c Con federation resol e d t h at any attac k s on th e Austrian troops in the Danubian Provinces should be con sidered as an aggresSion against the Confederation, though that armed force was not only out of the Fedral, but even out of the A us t r ian, territory. yet i if • that attitude had been contrary to treaties, Russia would certainly have complained. The Thscan Moniteur says the Neapolitan Consul- General; having announced his intention of recoo.:: raising the authenticity of the acts cipanatinc , from the Tuscan Government, has been reinstated in his functions. Prince Eugene of Savoy has issued a decree extending the forced currency of the National Bank notes to landlords, and providing that a bran c h of the Piedmontese Ba nk shall be established at Milan, with a proportionable increase of capital to be raised by shares---Lombard capitalists to have the prefer. • nee.

Felix, Calvert, and Co., the brewers, on Mondx7, the position of the estate and the proposal submitted by the inspectors to form a joint-stock association were very actively canvassed, and although - a large majority were favourable to the recommendation, the number of dissentients will probably be found to place embarrassments in the way of the develop ment of the scheme. The resolution brought for ward passed, but through the opposition raised it is not thought it can he rendered practically operative. The valuable freehold estates in Honduras,.of the late firm of Hyde, Hodge, and Co., extending over upwards of one million acres, with warehouses, stores, merchandise, cattle, shipping, advances, to Logwood and Mahogany cutters to the extent of 23,6001.' and other commercial asse t s , were yester d ay sold by Messrs. Fuller and Horsey, at the Mart, for the sum of 51,000/. The biddings commenced at 20,0001:, and were finally closed, after a spirited competition, at the above sum. The purchasers were Messrs. Desborough, Young, and Desborough, acting on behalf of the British Honduras Company (Limited). _ Advice's from Genoa announce that, through the activity of mercantile speculation, ever eager to occupy a new and promising channel, the market is glutted with supplies of various commodities in cluding more especially Coffee and Cereals of all kinds. The natural result has been a great fall in prices • and it would really appear that the wants of the allied armies will soon be supplied, more cheaply at Genoa than at Marseilles. As facilitating mate- population which has - been so suddenly transported info Italy, this circumstance has great importance. Yesterday Sir C. Wood was elected for Halifa without opposition, and at the close of the poll for the University of Oxford yesterday there was a majority for Mr. Gladstone. The poll will close on Friday. Mr. Headlam was. elected member for New castle by more than two votes to one over his opponent.

Eicke and Mortimer pleaded guilty, and the jury yesterday returned a verdict of guilty against Marshall. was deferred. Lord Chief Justice Cock burn, in summing up, said there was not the slightest imputation against the authorities at the Horse Guards. Recent proceedings at one of the London Police Courts, discloses a state of things in a part of Whitechapel that calls for prompt and vigorous remedial measures. Two ladies complain of being robbed at mid-day, and that by no mean, skulking thief, but by men who came before them face to face, and in a straightforward, konea kind of manner, take from them what they want. In a colony of thieves the cry of " stop thief," of course, does not excite much sympathy ; and only the poor satisfaction remains of . being significantly informed by the police that the depredators belong .to "the gang." - - Sentence Moore, who murdered his wife in. I,Valworth by stabbing her with a knife, has been committed for trial on the capital charge. The Submarine Telegraph Company have success fully laid a new cable of six wires between Folkestone and Boulogne. It contains six conducting wires, and is the largest and strongest ever made—th© weight being ten tons per mile. The connecting link of land wires will be completed in about a fort nioht. when the means of Continental communication • will be greatly accelerated. ENGLAND AS A GREAT POWER. ENGLAND must either be a Great Power, or no Power at all. Such is now her peculiar position— such are the circumstances by which she is sur-. rounded—that she must stand or fall by her own national influence : stand, to remain among the greatest, or fall down to comparative nothingness among the least of the Powers of Europe, and therefore of the world. Now, with regard to our national influence, we must give a foremost place to arms, as a means of asserting it. Infinitely better would it be, we admit, were it otherwise. But constituted as nations now are, the readiness to have recourse to arms, in case of need, is an indispensable requisite to a people's safety ; and without slich a sense of security as is thus afforded, where would be a nation's dependence for any continuance of welfare and prosperity ? A time, we are divinely assured, will come, when men "shall beat their swords. into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks " —when "nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." And would to GOD . that such a time were indeed come. But whatever hope there might be of its approach a few years ago, there is assuredly - none now. Nay, to look abroad, at the present time, on Continental Europe, the most civilised —we had almost said the most Christianised—quarter of the globe, one would really imagine it were further off than ever, in spite of the popular boast of this being, par excellence, an age of great enlightenment. At any rate, it is evident that swords and spears —or rather cannon and rifles—are still essential to our national defence. We cannot possibly do without them, if we are to preserve our national existence, —to have them fully available for all the purposes for which they may happen to be required. England must maintain her ground, and retain her resources, as a Great Power, that she may be in a position to assert her authority as such. Besides, _ " The arms are fair, When the intent of bearing them is just.',' And if ever such an intent can be called forth, it assuredly must' be when it is to defend one's country from assaults from without ; or even to be in a position so to defend it, in case of need. This, it must be confessed, is a very different thing from having recourse to arms for purposes of offence — whatever the ulterior object may be. At the same time, " the arms are fair" sometimes, even where they may have to be used on the offensive rather than the defensive. For there undoubtedly are justifying causes of war, as, for instance, deliberate invasions of right, or even the necessity of maintaining such a balance of power among neighbouring nations, as that no single State, or Confederacy of States, shall be strong enough to overwhelm the rest. : Now, we contend that England, as a Great Power, must take care to be ever - in - a - position - to' act, not only in defence of her own island territory, but of all her other possessions, and of all her national rights and privileges, and even for the maintenance, whenever it is threatened, of such a proper balance of power as may conduce to her own national security. England, we say, cannot possibly continue a Great Power unless she be thus pre pared ; and it is impossible she can ever be so prepared without being fully provided with THE NORTHERICTIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 1859 the requisite armament& , It is ,with regret, therefore, at such a moment as the present, though without surprise, that we see the Society of Friends again publicly pronouncing its anathema against any such preparation, even for purposes of national defence. "We observe with pain," says its Yearly EPistle, just published, " that arrangements are being extensively made in various localities to organise rifle clubs and volunteer corps. Great is the force• of example," it continues, "and the seductive influence of companionship; and some who in their moments of serious reflection would refuse to take the• life of a single- fellow creature even to save their own, may, either through the excitement of emulation, or the want of moral courage to with stand a sneer, be tempted to enter• into pursuits, the object of which, is to acquire dexterity and certainty in the destruction of human life." Here is a palpable misrepresentation. of the case. The object is, "to acquire dexterity and certainty in the means of resistance. The destruction_ of human life, it is true, is a consequence of the conflict in such resistance but it is not " the object "—it is rather the effect of such means.. " If; says a great moral philosopher, " the cause and end of war be justifiable"—and surely to defend one's country . " all the means that appear end are iustifiable. This is the at any rate, must be so,----' ssary- to the principle which defends these extremities to which the violence of war usually proceeds ; for since war is a contest by force b etwe en. par tie s who. acknowledge no common superior, an, ince it ii: es not in its place limits to the operation of force, it has naturally no boundary but that in which farce terminates the destruction of life against which the force is directed." Now, this is not only the light in which moral philosophy views the question, but it is that in which plain common sense, or we are much mis- taken, must regard it also When, however, the Epistle of the Society of Friends denounces such a war as that which has been provoked in Italy without any sufficiently justifying cause, we can quite go along with it When it says, "we mourn over the destruction of human life, the devastation and the wickedness of every kind which, upon a tremendous scale, must result from it, even if limited to the nations already engaged in the conflict,"—and. that, "whilst thank fully rejoicing that our beloved country has hitherto been preserved from taking part there, and that the language used by our own Government. and by statesmen of all parties has been favourable to the continuance of a pacific policy, we cannot reflect without solicitude upon the contagious tendency of war, and upon the symptoms so widely prevalent of a spirit prompt both to take and to give offence, and which no professions of international amity, how ever sincere, can adequately counteract,",--in all this we say, they have our humble but hearty But its very next following;remark, that "if war is to be prevented, the spirit from which war proceeds must be excluded," is a complete answer, we cannot lint think, to its wholesale and indis criminate objections to all war—whether its causes and motives are justifiable or unjustifiable. And this answer is greatly strengthened when it adds, that "great indeed must be the change before our fellow countrymen generally, and the subjects and citizens of other professedly Christian States, are brought to admit that all war, defensive as well as offensive, is unlawful." Until that change ceme, we concur- rence. must be prepared to treat war as, it is,—to resist wanton aggression, t• repel deliberate invasions of our national rights, and to aid in maintaining such a balance of power as may best, upon the whole, pro mote the common peace of the nations. If it is not with reference to such views as we have here endeavoured to assert, it yet has so forcible a bearing upon them, that an able contemporary, alluding to the supposed presence of the hon. member for Rochdale in the new kdministration, so perti nently remarks,—" It is as the most conspicuous member of the Peace Congress that the. nominal President of the Board of Trade is famous abroad. The. group of nations which, following in the wake of France, sets a permanent value on no distinction but military glory, and knows no magic so potent as that of the call to arms, was thoroughly roused and startled. by what to them was the most astounding of paradoxes. The . prophet - of• Peace was in their eyes a prophet indeed—the teacher of a novel creed, the assailant of the most fundamental beliefs of mankind. Surrounded with all the attractions of the mysterious and unintelligible, he was a person to be remembered if laughed at, and to be talked 'of •if despised. Mr. COBDEN, therefore, is a European celebrity—celebrated as the inventor of the theory that it is wicked to fight under any provocation whatever. A Cabinet which includes his name has hoisted the drab flag, and may interfere in any international dispute it pleases, with the certainty of being regarded as a harmless, well-intentioned busybody. Europe will make up its mind about the policy of the British Ministry as positively and as unhesitatingly as it would be sure to do about the intentions of the Emperor of the French if one fine day he were to gazette PIERRE LEROUX as Minister of Public Instruction, or M. PROLTDHON as Minister of State." PROGRESS OF THE WAR, THE still victorious advance of the allied in vaders of Austria, only makes the state of Europe more and more critical. The next great question is the part which Germany will now play in the fearful tragedy which Louis NAPOLEON has caused to be acted, on so ',tremendous a scale, in the doini nions of a Power which certainly did not give him any provocation whatever. Prussia, leading in the behalf of Germany, sent a communication, it seems, to the Allied Sovereigns, some days since, on the subject of their progress towards the German frontiers. It contained propositions, it appears, that were both laconic an 1 imperative, warning them that by a convention with Austria, made with the consent of the Germanic Confederation, the Mincio is to be regarded as the term of French and Sardi nian advances, and that a step further will involve the question of peace or war. - The answer was not long waited for. It came by electric telegraph " Then let it be WAR." Now, this is only fulfilling, or proceeding to fulfil, what we have all along apprehended. Of course, we can only yet surmise what may be the next object Louis NAPOLEON willstrive after, in pur suance of his ambitious projects. But the very fact of his being beyond the Mincio, with his armed hosts elrrying all before them, fully justifies Germany in now standing boldly and resolutely on the defensive. The qerimanie Confedcration can now conclusively demand, "Is ,there not a cause ? " Whatever it might be before, it were undoubtedly now high time to be up and doing, if their national safety is to be secured. Upon her side has devolved, therefore, a very serious and very onerous responsibility ; and that she is aware of it, and will act in the spirit of it, there is every reason to'believe. Her prepara tions for action have been proceeding rapidly. " The mobilsation," says a letter from Berlin, " has been proceeding rapidly. Every effort is made to get the men of the landwehr to join their corps without delay, and the various corps d'armee will be completely mobilised in a few days, while the landwehr of the guard will have its full complement at Berlin and Potsdam by the 3rd of July. This additional delay has been granted to the guard,- only because that part of the landwehr is taken, like the guard itself, from all the provinces 'of the monarchy. In fact, there exists in every province skeleton battalions which are only filled up in time of preparation• for war. Besides, the landwehr of the guard is considered as the elite of the Prussian array, being composed of the finest and most power- ful men, selected from all the provinces, and their training is perfect. Moreover, the officers of this part of the landwher are very superior to the others, for they are exclusively selected from the old officers of the guard, whilst part of those in the ordinary landwehr are volunteers who have served one year only, and whose militray instruction is therefore less perfect." Such is the character, such will be the efficiency, of tl e force with which Prussia will enter into the conflict. The allies will thus be met. with a more formidable resistant they have yet had to encounter ; and we shall probably see, ere long, what is the effect of it upon their progress a than But, as well as sending forth a hostile force against the Allies, Prussia is represented as likely to bring forward a mediation; and even the bases of her plan of adjustment have been confidently stated. These bases will, it is said, be as follows:—" Lom bardy shall become an independent State : Venetia shall be governed by an Archduke, and an energetic application shall be made to France and Austria to bring about an armistice." This proposition, it is asserted, was submitted to our Government more than a week ago, and the Continental journals have been anxiously enquiring, "Will Lord PALMERSTON, who refused these bases when proposed by Austria herself in 1848, accept them now?" It is impossible to say what Lord PALMERSTON may now do. It is not only that times have changed, and our states men changed with them, but that there is no per manent principle pervading the party now in power, everything being decided upon a system of most un- accountable and unreliable expediency. LOUIS NAPOLEON, too, has been spoken of as at length a negociator for peace. "If victory," it was said, in a well-informed Continental journal, a few days since, " should crown the French arms in a decisive manner, it will not, it is stated, be impossi ble that the EMPEROR NAPOLEON may propose an armistice. Advantage would then be taken of it to recommend negociations on the following bases : Lombardy to remain annexed to Piedmont; Venice and its territory to become free, nearly like the Hanse Towns, and be restored to its Italian nation ality, and the famous quadrangle with all the Veronais to remain to Austria, in order to protect the alarmed interests of the Germanic Confederation.' If there be any authenticity in these rumours, the siege of Verona or of any of the fortresses of the quadrangle would not be undertaken, more for political than strategical reasons, for with the means of destruction now in use those fortresses could be readily reduced by the French." Certainly, victory having again, and most signally, crowned the French arms, the triumphant Imperial invader could afford now to negoeiate,—if his object, that is to say, were only what he professed it to be. The infection of this dreadful war is spreading in other directions. One's wonder is that, under all the circumstances, -Rome and Naples should remain free from disturbance. But Rome has sent forth from her portals an armed host that did not go far to find an object of attack, and to begin to fight on its own account, since it was denied the opportunity of fighting for any Imperial or Papal master. As we have already published, the Swiss regiments which had just left Rome, attacked the city of Perugia. Great resistance was made, notwithstanding that the defenders were few ; but : after three hours' fight outside the town the Swiss entered, and the combats continued for two . hours in the streets. The Swiss trampled down and killed even women and inoffen sive persons. The next day the outrages, arrests, and firing on the people recommenced, and the city was placed in a state of siege, from which it had not been rescued without considerable difficulty, and further slaughter. So much for the force of example. And really we cannot see why if the French and Sardinian regiments are to go forth and fight in Italy, these Swiss regiments may not go and do likewise. It -. will be well if the infection does not, at present, extend to Naples. But the progress of the war is sure now to produce its offshoots; and we expect, every day, to hear of Hungary being up in arms. "GAMTE" NEW3.—The New Board of Admiralty is constituted—The Duke of Somerset, First Lord, with Vice- Admiral Sir Richard Saunders Dundas, Rear-Admiral Pelham, Captain Charles Eden, Captain Charles Frederick and Samuel Whitbread, Esq. The elevation of Sir B. Hall and Mr. Vernon Smith to the Peerage, by the titles already announced, is gazetted.

The Queen, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, left Buckingham Palace at ten minutes past four o'clock on Monday afternoon, went to Frogmore, and visited the Duchess of Kent, and returned shortly before seven o'clock. The Queen travelled to Windsor and returned to town by special trains on the Great Western Railway. The Prince Consort, president of the Horticultural Society, presided at a meeting of the council, at Buckingham Palace. Prince Arthur went to the Crystal Palace, Sydenham. The Princess Mary of Cambridge visited the Princess Alice. Her Majesty had a dinner party on Monday evening. Her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and the Royal Family went into mourning on Monday for a week, for the late Dowager Grand Duchess of Saxe Weimar, maternal grand mother to Prince Frederick William of Prussia. It is ,understood that this mourning will not affect the company invited to her Majesty's ball on the 29th. The Duke of Oporto, attended by Lieutenant• General Vicomte de Campanhaa, Captain Sergio, and M, Sampayo, arrived at Buckingham Palace, at half-past one o'clock on Monday afternoon, upon a visit to the zneen. ' Thl report gains strength OA Ireland is to be again honoured by-a visit from royalty. Saunders says that order have been issued to have 10,000 troops encamped on the Curragh for review order, on her Majesty's expected visit to that country in the month of August next. Their Highnesses the Princes Nicolas and Eugene Roman ofsky, both Dukes of Leuchtenberg, accompanied by Colonel Rehbinder and a numerous suite, have arrived from Russia. The princes, who are nephews of the present Emperor Alexander, were met at the railway terminus and conducted to the hotel by his Excellency Baron Brunnow. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. CORONATION I/ W.—Yesterday was the 22nd anniver sary of the Corofiation of her Majesty the Queen. Flags were displayed on all the public buildings, and the 'bells of the parish churches rang out peals of joy. Although the day was very web, the vessels in the docks and river also had their bunting out. The war ship "Hastings," in the river, fired a Royal salute in honour of the day, and may Her Majesty live to see many returns of this happy anniversary. TRINITY CHAPEL, GROVE-STRRET. - This beautiful chapel, which is now nearly completed, and which forms such an ornament to Grove-street and its vicinity, will be formally opened with a service to-morrow. The chapel belongs to the Wesleyan Methodist body, and is in many respects one of the most beautiful edifices raised for Divine worship in Liverpool. After a meeting for intercession and prayer, there will be sermons preached to-morrow in the •;aapel by the Rev. John Bowen, and the Re v: F. West. . Ifit • CHARLES YouNch—•This talented lady appeared last night in the Theatre Royal as Constance in the "Love Chase," Mr. Cowper sustaining the part of Wildrake. Mrs. Young displayed grace, ease and brilliancy in the part, and was several times enthusiastically applauded. The burletta of "Fr% Diayolo " was also performed. To-night the performances -will be- for the benefit of the Lechmere Family; and Mrs. Young will appear as lady Teazle in the iarlv suited for the display of some of the best qualities of her acting. Mrs, Toung'& engagement, we may add, draws rapidly to a close Ma Goiniiv's ARRIVAL IN Cobden's arrival in Liverpool, by the steamer Indian, was expected throughout the whole of yesterday, and a number of his principal supporters from Rochdale came to this town for the purpose of meeting him, and giving him a cordial reception. Many prominent Liberals of Liverpool determined to co-operate in the intention of Mr. Cobden's Rochdale friends, and to make that gentleman's reception, as nearly as the time would allow, a public demonstration. As, however, the steamer had not arrived up to a late hour, it was agreed that a meeting of Liberals should be held at the Clarendon rooms, at eleven o'clock this day, for the purposa of adopting an address congratulating Mr. Cobden upon his return to a public and parliamentary career in England, and upon the triumph which the principles he has identified himself with have so far achieved. Mr. Cobden, it is expected, will stay at the Adelphi Hotel, and there probably the address will be presented. It need hardly be said that , especial importance is given to this occasion by the fact that a place in the Ministry awaits the acceptance of the honourable gentleman. Possibly we may add that many influential Liberals of this town are of opinion that the advantages which the Liberal cause would derive from the accession of Mr. Cobden to office are such as ought to Outweigh any considerations of a personal nature which might induce him to hesitate in accepting the important post now offered to him. _ _ S ELECT VESTRY.-The fortnightly meeting of the Select Vestry was held at ten o'clock yesterday in the parish board-room. The Rev. Rector Campbell occupied the chair, and the other members present were —Messrs. Cropper, Scott, Owen, Satchel!, Peck, Hand, Denton, Turner, Syred, Whitby, Williams, Critchley, Smith, Whitty, Melly, and Luff. Workhouse Committee : The proceedings of the workhouse committee contained a resolution declaring that the time had now arrived for carrying out certain alterations in the reception department. Mr. Cropper, who moved the confirmation of the proceedings, stated that the cost 'of the proposed alterations would be, according to Mr. Wylie's estimate, about £1,650, and the execution of them would render perfect a very important department of the workhouse. Mr. Whitty thought the proposed ex penditure was an enormous one, to he applied to merely one department of the house. Mr. Satchel' said, according to all their experience of alterations, the estimate of £1,650 would be found to increase to over £2,000. Finally, Mr. Whitty moved as an amendment that the reeommendation be not confirmed. Mr. Cropper explained that the present accommodation of the reception _department was exceed ingly defective. The proper classification of the inmates during the period of was not rendered praoticablo, A division was taken, ;viten the amendment'Was lost by a large majority, and the original proceedings were con firmed: Industrial Schools Committee : The proceedings. of this committee were confirmed without any . discussion. Finanea Committee : The proceedings included a recommendation to appoint Mr. William Williams superin tendent collector, in the room of Mr. Ireland, resigned. The recommendation was confirmed ; and Mr. Charles Hart, junior, was elected to fill the vacancy as collector caused by the promotion of - Mr. William Williams. This concluded the public business.

A preliminary objection was raised by Mr. Hime, on the ground of the insolvent being a trader with debts exceeding£3oo, and m to come before this court, The objection was founded on tained at the instance of the opposing creditor against the insolvent, which amounted to £286 4s Bd, and along with his other debts raised the aggregate of claims to more than £3OO. Mr. Roby, on behalf of the insolvent, contended that he had been misled as to the amount of - the claim included in the judgment, and that an order had been granted to have the jtidgment set aside, and if that were successfully followed up, that large amount of debt would in consequence not entitled as it had no jurisdiction. a judgement _ ob- be swept off. His Hon - Our said he could only deal with th case as'it came before him. He had to inquire what was the . amount of debts owing by the insolvent. These he found to exceed £3OO, and as to the question of his being able to get rid of a large portion of these, he could not say how that might be. Possibly he might get rid of all of them, but in the meantime he could have no jurisdiction. The petition was dismissed. John Hayden, unsupported and unopposed, had his final order granted. - James M. Philomore, late publican, Copperas-hill, was unopposed and unsupported. Final order fixed for 3rd August.

The Alledged Murder Case in Crossßall-street : On the body of Mary Stephenson, whose death was fully reported in our paper of yesterday, when her husband was brought before Mr. Mansfield, on a charge of murder. The same evidence given at the police court, was produced before the coroner, and Surgeon Brown, who made a post-mortem examination of the body, stated that the heart, kidneys and liver were diseased, of a chronic character. She was three months enceinte, and beiwg in that state, the diseases he saw were not sufficient to cause death. There was a braise on the left side of the abdomen, such as a kick would produce. Death might be produced by a blow or a kick in that part, ca us i ng a shock of the nervous system, without leaving any post- mortem appearances. The coroner then charged the jury, who found a verdict of manslaughter against th e h us b an d . GALLANT CAPTURE OF A ROBBER.
