Flour was in fair request at the currency of Friday, being 6d. per barrel decline on the week. Beans were without change. Oats and Oatmeal were dull at recent quotations. A good business was done in Indian Corn, the decline on which was nearly recovered, mixed American bringing 37s 6d to 37s 9d, Yellow 38s 6d, White 39s 6d to 40s; Galatz 39s to 39s 6d per 4801bs.—The chief feature of the trade this week has been the arrival at calling ports of a large number of grain vessels from the Mediterranean, the anticipation of which has caused a still greater reluctance than before existed on the part of buyers to inet - Case their stocks ; as yet the business done in these Cargoes has been small, but there is not much dis- I position to give way for good descriptions of Wheat, .which nearly maintain previous quota tions, and Indian Corn cargoes have brought fully as high rates. The Wheat markets of the country up to the close of the past week were generally is to 2s per quarter cheaper, as much owing to' bad - quality as to the dulness bf trade. • General business in Liverpool since Friday has-been con fined to , retail transactions, at rates scarcely s 6 good as were then current, but some forced sales have been made in quantity of Wheat and Flour at lower prices; Indian Corn has, however, sold more freely, without further depression in value ; the strength of the , market will now be tested for a while, both by arrivals at calling ports and direct supplies into the various large places of import ; those into Liverpool are again very con-, siderable, and chiefly from the United- , States of America, as will be seen from the list subjoined. aivALs AND EXPORTS to the 28th January,lB6l, inclusive.

There has been considerable activity in the Freight Market this week, and large business has been done for India and other long voyages. For Calcutta several ships have been taken at 42s 6d for salt, and for Bombay. 45s fob iron and 30s for coke. There is a steady demand for ships home from Calcutta at 60s to 62s 6d, with favourable limits of cargo, and from Bombay at 50s for cotton. G nano Freights are unaltered, and several large vessels have accepted this employment, taking coals out from \Vales to Rio at 31s ; Monte Video, 34s ; Callao, 345. The general tone of the Freight Market is weaker, as a large amount of tonnage is offering. To United States Ports there is no improvement to note during the week, as exports in that direction continue on the most limited scale. GENERAL FREIGHTS. s.

At the Bank there was a fair demand, but no pressure. There is an impression that the working expenses on many railways will be found to have been increased by the bad weather which has pre vailed so long.—Dail✓ News' City Article. There was no further announcement of suspen sions in the Levant trade, and hopes are enter tained that the chief difficulties are at an end. The demand for discount was active, both at the Bank and in the open market. About £20,000 in refined Australian gold was taken to the Bank. The F.:1;:11, , h funds opened without alteration, but subsequently manifested firmness. The railway market was firm during the greater part of the day, but after official hours showed tendency to reaction ; several stocks, however, left off slightly higher than. on Saturday, especially North- • Eastern and Lancashire and Yorkshire.—Times' City Article.

OLD • POSTOFFICEBIJILDTNGS,, LIVERPOOL, Tire Proprietor of the _Daily Times regrets that,he is under the necessity of announcing, that; owing to the UnfavOurablestate of his health, lie is obliged to discontinue the publication of this jthirual. It is some source of consolation, under these eircunistances, that the'Proprietor has per sonally no, reason : to regret:the efforts he has unspaririglY made to render this sheet a succeis fal and popular mediuni of advertising, as well as a faithful, daily record of the latest news. Viewing the matter as a commercial undertaking, it is no small gratification for him to be able to reflect that, under the present management, the revenue of the paper has been nearly doubled. The pftqy Tones has, under the present'man agement, been steadily . improving, and advancing towards a degree of prosperity which would scion, it is hclioyed, place it. second to timMi in •• the kingdom. The Proprietor is now more confi dent than ever that enterprising perseverance in the Course whiCh he has hitherto followed is alone necessary to achieve that coveted position. There is no obstacle that , would, for one moment, have deterred the Proprietor from following up his past success except that above stated. 1-lad he been enabled to bestow upon the nitily . Times that continued attentitai and assiduous labour which are essential to thp. conduct of an undertaking of such importance, nothing eould have afforded him more pleasure, or have been more akin tolis than to have continued his exertions to render that Journal in every 'respect worthy of its position as the oldest provincial Daily Paper. Since the unavoidable, resolution of' the Pro prietor to dispose of this 'property was made known, Many tenders have been Made for the pur-1 chase of the Copyright' and Plant of the Paper ; i and it, is still possible that an arrangement May : be made for a suitable transference. The Pro prietor meanwhile feels it due to the friends and., supporters of the paper to announce that the, publication will be discontinued at the end of the present month, unless some chattge of proprietor ship shall have been previously - effected; and he therefore thinks it proper to intimate fliEit, should the paper he discontinued , all subscribers and advertisers wild have paid in advance will be waited upon without delay, and receive whatever sum may be due to them. Those indebted to the Daily Times will also please to cause their accounts to be settled at their earliest Convenience. WATER; TlllB DAY; AT LIVERPOOL.

An interesting incident is stated to have charac terised the deliberations of the commission appointed by the i)rtissian Chamber of Represen tatives to prepare the. address -in reply to the royal speech. M..de Vincke proposed to insert in this address a paiagraph declaring that Europe has an interest in the consolidation of Italian unity. This proposition was rejected by the corn 'mitlision, but by alfiajority of one only—nine vot ing for it and ten against it. M. de Vincke, after this tOtti ,declined to report the address to the Hoti§e: The following are stated' to be the 'objects Which General della - Marmara is now endeavouring to promote at Berlin on behalf of the Piedmont ese _Government, namely, to give satisfac tion to Prussia as to the intentions of Piedmont with regard to Germany ; to induce her 'forecorisc the possession of Venetia as' a itedesity' for 'its it danger for Aus tria and ,the Germanic Confederation j to make his Majesty sensible that the two Rimers which, the one in Germany and the other in Italy, repre sent the principles of constitutional liberty, are the life - arid 'soul "of :the nationalities to which they belong. ; and hare every reason for maintain the tot intiinate.relatiOnS of friendship; and. lastly, td make iYilliain I. aitare . that if these overtures are rejected, Italy will be forced More than ever to unite herself to France, and to accept all the consequences of that alliance, as, well as - all the obligations it may- entail, to the great detriment of the security of ,the western and southern frontiers of Germany. There is a ruinour, which- It is ranch to be hoped rtidy prove true, that Francis It. liaS at length held out th white ling; and Oat -negotia tions for the surrender of the fortrest have been opened. It is said -that • the marit.lioliS Ad of Cavalli guns has brought about this result. According to a telegram from Turin, dated Monday evening, the result of the elections to the . new Parliament, so far as .then knoWn, gives twenty itietitlier6 only to the opposition. It is noticeable that among the deottliea-fftlitned are found the names of General Cialdiniaitd Admiral Persana who command the .besieging force at Gaeta; Garibaldi and Poetic) have been returned for Naples, and M. Cavour and two of his colleagues for Turin. The cry of " unification " haS been taken up by Germany, and in a military sense, as the only means of resisting the aggression of France. Enthusiastid nteetings with this view have been held at Berlin, and at Bromberg, itt the Duchy of Posen. Austria has made arrangements which appear likely to be successful for suppressing, by means of German and Italian troops, the threatened disturbances in Hungary. The Nord of yesterday says that the Council of the - RiisSian Empire is toMisembleimniediately to examine definitively the 'principal 'articles of t.ti imperial manifesto decreeing the abolition, of serfdom. The Emperor will then deoide• upon the mode and the time of the enfranchisement, which is expected to be in the course of next autumn. According' to an article in a Petersburg journal, the prevalent 'oPinion in-Rnstiia 'seems to be that the Emperor Napoleon has, after all, out witted 'his English allies in the affair of the treaty of Pekin. "It cannot be denied," says the Northe'rn" " that France has obtained a great moral preponderance in the'East, and that France has, already obtained a much firmer foot ing in China than England has, or ever will have, in India. This will be startling news 'to some people in this country... , Relative to the Galway line of packets and the French Government, the subjoined special tele gram appeared in the Freeman's Journal:-' ." London, Sunday.—Mr. Lyster C,'Beirne and Dr. Gray, who have been for some time in Paris on . behalf of the Galway CoMpany, arrived in Lon don yesterday.

It is feared that the ship Windsor Castle, em plOyed as a transport in China, was lost in the typhoon of last September. _ . An accident occurred on the South-Western Railway, on Monday evening,, near Wimbledon. A tender and four carriages were thrown off the line. One passenger was killed; and two others so seriously injured that, at first, thcre was poor hopes of their surviving. Yesterday, however, the lat ter were reported to he progressing favour ably. The cause of the accideit is not yet known. Owing to an unusual pressure upon our space, we are unavoidably compelled to hold over our Paris Letter and several other articles. CHURCH DEFENCE. We have, over and over again, sounded an alarm-note to Churchmen of all shades of opinion that the old war between our National Church and the enemies of all State endowments is now about to be waged with a degree of intensity never exceeded in the annals of the past. We have repeatedly explained how it happens that the church-rate lins been selected as the mos salient point of attack upon the Establishment. We have frequently shown that, whether or not, under certain circumstances, a compromise of the church-rate question might be judiciously effected, the exigencies of the present crisis preclude us from entertaining the idea of any surrender even for a moment. We have often pointed out, as plainly as we could, that the contest has at last assumed an entirely new phase, and that the mat ter now at issue is not merely one of church rate in this, that, or the other form, but simply one of Church or no Church ,We have urged unceasingly upon clergy and laity the imperative necessity of instantly laying aside all minor dif- ferences of opinion, and of addressing themselves' to the maintenance of the principle of a National Church upon any footing. Ma practical, advice we have proposed the preparation of petitions from every parish in the kingdom, signed by every available parishioner. We have endea-. voured to induce and encourage the faithful to follow such a course' by reference to the fact that Mr. DISRAELI, the able and undaunted leader of the great constitutional party, has so forcibly and faithfully announced his determination to follow such a policy and to support such a mode . of action in defence of the Church; With his whole weight and influence in Parliament. 'We would still reiterate our most 'solemn 'warning to all concerned, that the Church rate questiori will be one of thegreatest, if not the leading,. question of the coming session, and that Upon its decision for or against the Church much depends affecting 'the more essential rights and privileges of the Church; as established' by law in" these realms. If any one still doubts the truth of our asseverations, let them read the following, statement of the avowed objects of the miscalled " Liberation,*SOciety," as specified and published . in a tract, containing the evidence of the, leaders of the work. of destruction, fully substantiating the following conclusions:— -1. That the unconditional abolition of Churc rates' would not satisfy the demands or. close the mission of the " Liberation Society." 2. That the "Liberation Society" aims not only at abolish ing Church-rates, as at PreSent legalised, but also at preventing Churchmen from_ levying a rate on themselves or their property for the support of . : their Church, even though dissenters Should be exempted from the paynient. 3. That the sole ultitnate object of the.'‘,‘ Liberation Society" is to alienate all the present property of the Church— ' Chtirch-rates, tithes, glebe land, and' edifices, alike —and-to procure its application to secular pur poses,- and thus eventually to dissolve all connec tion between Church and State." If, after this any peace-loving Churchman who has hitherto been inclined to make some little sacrifice rather' than challenge a further contest about 'Church rates, shall fltil.to see that he has been labouring under a fatal mistake, we shall despair of their conversion to sound views. ,The Church must tioit completely triumph over her bitterest assail ants or succumb to , universal spoliation, confis cation and sacrilege. It is gratifying to think that the advice we have given has not been without its effect. Liver -176°1 is about to make a demonstration suitable to its importance as the second municipal corpora tidn in the kingdom, and worthy of its character as a community the vast majority of which is firmly , and devotedly attached to Church and State. • Our clergy have been alert in their duty, and our worthy and talented Conservative mem ber, T. B. .iIORSFALL, Esq., has not been in different to the responSibilities attaching to his, high .position. Thanks to many of the faithful„ clergy and laity of LiverpOol, the religious inhabitants of this great borough shall. soon have "an opportunity of making such' 4 demonstration in behalf of 'the Church as \shall abundantly satisfy all parties . of the predominant affection of the people for our National Zion, and of their unalterable resolution to maintain that bulwark of our Constitution in the enjoymentof all its ancient rights, privileges, and immunities: Let the combination about ,to.be instituted in de fence of the Church be cordially and even enthu- , siastically responded to by the laity of all classes. The co-operation of all is required, and, we believe,' will not be.withheld. The result Will be a loud, harmonious, and overwhelming negative' to the demands of the " Liberationists," whose dese crating cry, now openly uttered, is " Down with the Chaeh," The Old Folks' Concert was well attended last night, • and at the request of several respectable' parties, the troupe will give a morning performance to-day at,the Hall," and another to-morrow at Birkenhead at. 2 o'clock.

Yesterday, at noon, a joint public • meeting of the ;rustees and commissioners of the waste lands in the .ownship of West Derby, and of the freeholders and copyholders possessing estates therein of the yearly, value of £5 and upwards, was held at the Public-office, in Harper-street, Low-hill, for the purpose of passing the annual accounts, disposing - of the proceeds arising therefrom, and the transaction of other business. It was known that there was a large available sut:plus to be disposed of, which has been accumulating for twelve years, and the proceedings were therefore possessed of more 'than ordinary interest. Mr. JL3IEs PLumpToN occupied the chair ; and of the request of Mr. Radcliffe, the proceedings of. the Improvement Committee were read in extenso, as also a statement which had been prepared * so• Tar back as J(nuary, 1860, on improvements contemplated, and the cost of carrying them out. These comprised the build ing of a. wall and the making, of a sewer in Thomas=lane, at a cost of about £175, Mrlittledale giving the land; the: widening of Thomas-lane, down to Broad Green Station, at a cost of £750; the improvement of Back lane, at a cost of £1,240; &c., &c.,—the total estimated outlay being £3,503. Mr. R.6CLIFFE called' attention to the resolution passed at the last meeting, • directing that no improve ments for which orders had not been given, and for 'whichthe hoard was not legally liable, should be carried out ; • but that the money, should be added to the general fund. He, believed that in the face of that resolution; the commissioners were taking steps to go on with some of those improvements, and of whiCh he thought,_ the township, generally would disapprove. \There was the West Derby road, Edge-lane, and the London-road to grapple with first; but independent of all that, there was the great question of the sewerage befOre them, and' which made it most important to check the other expenditure of the township. Mr. Newlauds' estimates for the sewerage were now before them, and it amounted to '£61,000 or £65,000—X21,000 or £25,000 of this amount being required for the outlet sewers, provided that the river Alt was not made use of. This had frightened them ; and it was thought if they were to expend only what would be necessary for the abatement of nuisances,. they might save the rest in abatement of the rates. Mr. Whitty moved, arid Mr. Abrahams seconded that the usual grants be voted to the various schools and charities within the township. (These grants are principally of the amount of £lO each, and last year amounted in the aggregate to £140.) Mr. PILLING said there were two schools in West Derby which did not receive a donation, and which were quite as worthy as any they supported. One was in Green4ane, the Independents' ; • the other was the Wesleyan . Methodists', in St. Oswald-sti:eet, near the Old Swan. They were two of the best schools in the township. - , • A memorial was also read from the ReV.' Thomas. Moore, asking for a donation to the 'schools in Mason street in connection with ,the Churchof St. Stephen the. Martyr. Mr. RADCLIFFE opposed these additional grants, on tlie ground that if they were to endow every school Which applied, they. should never know when to stop. The fund was never intended for such a purpose. .Mr. I\rnrrnY observed, that when the deed was drawn, there was but one school in the township. Mr. PILLING moved, as an amendment; that the three schools named be added, but eventually consented to withdraw it ; and the original motion was then carried.' It was stated incidentally that had Mr. Cropper been present, he had intended to make an application also on behalf of some ragged schools. Mr. LOWNDES, the Treasurer, then submitted his annual statement of the accounts. The total receipts were £959 17s. 21d., and after meeting the current ex penditure, the accounts showed a balance arising within the year of £784 10s. Bd.,—to be disposed of. There was also an old balance in the bank of, £5,000. Mr. RADCLIFFE — The Local Board of Health pro pose to deal with that, too, for permanent . iMprove meas. The CHAIRMAN said—Then came the question whether that should not go in easement' of ,the general rates. Mr. RADCLIFFE said the fund was intended for the relief of the landowners, and they were the proper parties to say for what specific permanent improvenients it should be applied. The CHAIRMAN—And what will you vote the Cor poration ? hir.,B.ADcLIFFE—Harid them one-half. They must expend it in the West Derby municipal district. If the local board got the amount now claimed, they would endeavour to do without a Sewerage Act. After some conversation, Mr. AnaAnAms moved that £4,000 be granted to the Corporation and to the West Derby Local Board of Health, to be divided between the municipal and rural divisions of the township, rateably, according to the assessment. Mr. CROSBY proposed as au, amendment, seconded by Mr. Hodgson, that the money be equally divided -L £2,000 to each ; and after considerable discussion, the amendment was carried. Mr. RADCLIFFE then called attention to the fact that they should still have a balance of £1,700 left, which with the surplus income of next year, would leave then 'L2,300 to divide. He objected to the wording of the amendment, which as drawn by Mr. Eaton,' the law clerk, was, " that the balance be carried to the credit of the Improvement Committee." He contended that the money could only be voted to the Improvement Corn mittee for some specific purpose, and that the free holders and cepyholders should be called together each time it was proposed that any large outlay should be made. The CHAIRMA.N said it would be impossible to go on ill they were so restricted. . ' Mr. LOWNDBR said, Mr. Radcliffe should bear in mind that the Commissioners had the greatest interest in the district, as they were the greatest landowners. • Mr. RADCLIFFE—DO you mean to say yeu would have the power to carry out improvements with the £1,700 without coming to us ? , Mr. LOWNDES—Yes. Mr. HODGSON—Have you improvements in con templation ? Mr. LOWNDES—We have had for years, but cannot carry them out. The Marquis of Salisbury has been the great impediment. Mr. Wittrny. remarked that the acts of the Im provement Committee, before they took effect, had to be confirmed by the general body of trustees ; and after some further discussion, it was agreed that the balance should be carried to the credit of the Improvement . Committee in the usual way. Mr. ABRAHAMS then brought forward the question of the rent paid by the overseers, for the offices in which they were assembled, and which are the property of the Waste Lands Commissioners. At the last revision of the accounts, the auditor had decided that it was not competent for the overseers to rent offices. Ile'said they might buy land, or purchase premises, but they were not allowed to become tenants. Now, as . those offices were for:the benefit of the whole township, rural . as well as municipal, he thought the trust should lot them :have them for a nominal or peppercorn rent. The auditor had thought last time of surcharging them, in consequence of a recent decision in the Court of Queen's Bench, but said he would give them tiwely notice that the item of rent must not appear in their accounts again. • Mr. LOWNDES said the £3O a year charged was a mere nominal amount, for they were always being charged for repairs, &c. It was in that respect a real Flemish account. In 1847 their nett proceeds were only £1 IN.—the expenses against the rent for repair being £2B 10s. The CHAIRMAN thought it a singular decision of the auditor, and could not understand its rationale. A motion was then put and carried, that the officers be let at a peppercorn rent,—this motion to be made annually. This terminated the business ; and the meeting :c up. CORONER'S COURT. Yesterday the Coroner held the following verdicts : On the body of Joseph Buckley, a shipwright, 63 years of age.

LIVERPOOL GOVERNESSES INSTITUTION The annual meeting, of , the above institution was held yesterday' at the institute ? 76, Canning-street. There was but a small attendance of subscribers present, being chiefly ladies. The honorary secretary, Mr. Archibald Briggs, read the following report:— "'rhe committee of the Liverpool Governesses Insti tution, in presentin g their eleventh annual report, regret that there has been during the past year a slight falling off in the receipts, principally owing to death and removal from Liverpool of several of the subscribers. ,During the past year there has been 41 governesses admitted into the home, being' three less than in the year 1859: The .payinents received from the inmates have amounted to £l4l 165,• 6d. The registrations have. numbered 105; the. applications 121 ; and 35 governesses have been SnycesSful in obtain - ink situations throUghlhe institution. Assistante to the amount of £24 has been granted from the benevolent fund to sit aged.and infirm governesses. About £l5O is still want ing to complete ,the unfinished annuity, and your com mittee trust that this amount will be shortly made ur, as, with the high rates of interest at, present ruling, the, money might be advantageOusly invested. ,Your com mittee ate, however, glad to he able to report that, in consequence .of, a legacy left by the late Mrs. Wright for that purpose, the sum of £450 has been invested in London and North-Western Rail Way - Stock, to form an annuity, to be entitled Miss Sarah. Ann Clarke's annuity. Your committee have to acknowledge a liberal donation of books from Miss GadSby, of Southport; and also to . tender their sincere thanks to the medical officers for their kindness and. attention ; as also to Mr. James Smith, for keeping the piano in tune, One painful cir cumstance your committee are ',compelled to report, namely, the death of one of the governesses, at the time resident in the home, after a very short illness. They have, also,'with very great regret, to ask fOr the' sym. path) , of the subscribers in the great loss the institution has sustained through• the .death of Mrs. Wainwrightl who was always one of its most zealous suppotters; In concluding their report, your committee can only assure 'you that the institution is, in their opinion, con- tinning to be of great value and service to 'those for whose benefit it was originated, and who are but too often so circumstanced as to be in great need of help, and of a comfortable and economical home. They therefore, while offering their sincere thanks for past support, are emboldened to ask, not for a continuance merely, but also for an increase in future contributions." From 'the statement of the treasurer it appeared that there was at present a sum of £307 2s. 4d. in the hank to the credit of the Institute. On the motion of Mrs. Brooks, seconded by Mrs. Smith, the report read together with the statement of Accounts was ordered to be printed and 'Circulated amongst the subscribers. The resolution was carried unanimously. ~The next resolution proposed 'by Mr. Briggs, seconded by Mrs. Smith, was that the thanks of the meeting be given to the ladies who attended the Institute from thee commencement. Mr. Briggs hoped that they would have a large number of lady visitors attending the institution for the future. A vote of thanks was also accorded to the honorary medical officers, and they were requested to continue their services during the present year. ,This comprised the whole of the business of the meet ing, which was of a very formal character. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) STRANGE CASE. Police-officer 856 brought up q female named Eliza beth Williams, whom he said he arrested in consequence of her threatening to down herself. The prisoner said she came from Birkenhead on Monday to see some per son at the Colosseum. A policeman met her before 856 came up, audinocked her down, putting her elbow out of joint. She was treated very badly, and the doctor at the Northern Hospital had to put her arm right (it was tied up in a sling). She told a long story about alleged ill-treatment by the police. Police-officer 293 admitied that he pushed the woman, but said it was not with the intention of injuring her, but it was her violence that caused him to push her. The woman complained of another officer, who was not now present, and Said it was ; that man who had treated her badly, and then handed her over. to 856. The latter officer said she was handed over to him, but he did not see Tier ill-treated. The prisoner said she had no ifotion of drowning herself, and begged to be let go home to her mother at Birkenhead, His Worship ordered an officer to go with her to Birkenhead, and told her she might have a free summons for the policeman for having assaulted her if she wished.. The woman., said she would take the summons, and she was then-discharged.. MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE! A comical-looking honto named Judea Curley, was brought up. by police-officer 611; .who said,—Twaiealled into a public-house in Chisenhale-street, when I found the prisoner drunk, with this open knife in his hand, and he swearing he would open some one like an oyster. He refused to leave the house, and became very dis orderly, so he was obliged to take him into custody. A female stated that the prisoner threatened to stab her and her husband if they did not give him ale, which they refused to do. The prisoner said, lam a lizew-sis chion, and go about from public-house to public-house, playing a fiddle for the benefit of myself and the grati fication of others. Mr. Baffles : That is no reason you should threaten to stab people. What have you to say to that charge ? Prisoner : I have to say that when I went into the public-house, I opened this knife to cut some tobacco, when one of the people there—they were all bad characters, and I don't consider that 'wag - lan a married woman at all—so they said I was too respectable to be playing a fiddle, and that I must stand half-a gallon of ale. I told them not to.come near me, as they might fall against the knife and cut themselves. I was not drunk. The bridewell-keeper said the prisoner was very drunk and disorderly. Prisoner : I tell you, sir, I was not ; for how could that be, when I didn't taste a toothful for the last twenty-two months, and besides that, I belong to the 'Young Men's Society, so I couldn't be drunk. His worship, however, believed the evidence, and fined the prisoner ss. for being drunk. STABBING BY A SAILOR. • Michael Cain, a sailor, was brought up 'by detective officer Graham, who said : I arrested the prisoner on the Landing-stage yesterday, on a charge of having cut the throat of a sailor named James M'Dermott, on I Thursday evening last. From the evidence' of the officer, and a boy who is engaged in a baker's shop in Great Howard-street, it appeared that on Thursday evening last, about dusk, there were some sailors at the corner of Denison-street, and amongst them the pri soner. The wounded man' was passing,when the prisoner rushed at him and drew a knife right across his throat, when a great gush of blood followed. Some women carried the man into the hospital, where he at present remains in' a very dangerous state,, The prisoner got away; but after his arrest he was' recognised amongst seven other persons by the hop alluded to. The prisOner, who denied the charge, was remanded for the present. THEFT BY A DOCK GATEMAN. John Roberts, a dock gateman, was' charged with having stolen the wooden cover of a brandy cask, value 3s. 6d., the property of Messrs. M'lver. Police-officer 550 stopped the prisoner at two o'clock in the morning leaving ,the Canada dock with 'the cask ; he could not ive any account of how he got it. The prisoner said the cask was knocking about the quay for a longiime, and he did not think it anv harm to,. take it. One of Meksrs. M'lvers' people said they had lost several 'such casks.—Mr. Raffles censured the conduct of the prisoner and remanded him for the present. CHARGE AGAINST THE MATE OF A SHIP. Robert Ramsay, described as the mate of an American . ship, called the Washington, was charged for having stolen a watch,, belonging to William Clark, ,of Bruns wick-road, who described himself As of no particular business at present. Mr. Bluck defended the prisoner. From the evidence given it appeared that on the night of the 18th instant, the prosecutor and the prisoner met in a house of ill repute in Hotham-street, where they had some wine, and the watch was taken from the pro- .; secutor, and it was subsequently sent to a pawn-shop by the prisoner, who got 30s. on it. Mr. Bluck made a speech for the prisoner, and said he had a first mate's English certificate, and he was also the mate of the Washington, and that he (the prisoner) alleged be pur chased the watch from another . person. .The prisoner was sent for' trial. CLAIM FOR LOSS OF AN ANCHOR. The captain of a small vessel called the Jane, sought to recover £l9 10s. from the owners of the Owatta, for the loss of an anchor and chain. Mr. Cobb was for the claimant, and Mr. Lowndes for the defence. In the course of the investigation it transpired that the defen dant's ship was in command of the pilot, which was compulsory, and therefore the- complainant was non suited, as against the defendants, and the case .was dismissed. (Before Messrs. BENN and. SHAND.) CAU'IION TO voLuNyzzys. Robert Hopps, who was formerly' a member of the Ist Lancashire Artillery Volunteers,' was storimeined by Lieutenant Brown, of that corps, under the. following circumstances.

At last a court of inquiry was called, and the defendant was fined and dismissed. He refused to pay the fine, and the sum mons was now brought against him for the purpose of enforcing the fine. The defendant said he was not at the court of inquiry, and had he been he Could have explained the matter. The complainant said there was a notice served on the defendant to attend the court of inquiry. The magistrates said they could not go behind the proceedings of the court •of inquiry, and therefore made an order for the payment of £l, and 4s. 6d. costs. The fine was paid.
