The defendant, it will be recollected, is a captain in the Royal Navy, and resisted the present demand on the ground of adultery, which it was contended by the plaintiff he had condoned, and thereby was liable for his wife's debts. Mr. Laxton and Mr. Patchett appeared for . the plaintiff. Mr. O`Mally, Q C., and Mr. Francis were counsel for the defendant. The first witness called on Tuesday morning was Captain Lloyd, who deposed : am a captain in the Royal Navy, but with no other means than my pay. I was married in 1847, and lived three months happily with my wife at Jersey. When I went on service to India I regularly corresponded with her during my. absence, and the three years I was absent I remitted her about £4OO. I returned to England in October, 1850, and e it was not tit then that I - had the slightest intimation that my wife had left my house and deserted my child. I knew she had been on a visit to her brother, Captain Wragge, near InYerness, but I expected she would have returned to have received me. Imnaediately on the ship dropping her anchor in Plymouth Sound I sent her two letters containing money. I had received a letter from my aunt, and as soon as the.shipewas' paid off I went tee Jersey and saw my child at my wife's aunt's. I then found my house shut up, and I could not gain any intelligence of my wife's whereabouts. I commuriicated . with her.hrother, but he declined to give me"the . .required information, and I was equally unsuccessful in other inquieies I had instituted for the same purpose. In the latter end of 1851, or the beginning of 1852, I received letters' from 'my . wife, bearing the Portsmouth . postmark, on board the Waterloo, and in consequence of the request it contained I granted her an interview at the Chest Hotel, at Chatham. • I met he there ahout the 17th January; between. six and seven - o'clock in the evening. I asked lier Where she had been, and why she ha.&deserted me and her child ; but she said she, could not tell tile, and nothing further then' pa.esed (The letter asking for the interview was then put in and read. It profess2' d great affection for her husband, and prayed Cod to . guard him on his voyage. _lt denied certain reports that had been circulated in reference to them, and asked him to meet her.) At the parting on the above interview, I appointed to meet her on the 'following morning, . to take her to see her son. The first interview lasted about half an hour. On the folloWing morning I met her at the hotel, and conducted her to the Misses Davis, to see her child. She then asked me to take a cottage for her. and he reeon ciled to her.. I replied she must give a detailed and truth ful statenient of the' life she had been leadiriie for the sixteen or seventeen months previously. She began_ to cry, sayingshe could not do it by word of mouth, but that if I would return to my ship she would be prepared to give it to me in a few .days: I returned to my.ship and she remained 'at the MisSes Davis'. Four days after. I again 'saw her there, about seven o'clock in the evening.. She then presented to me a written statement, the contents of 'which greatly shocked me, and I exclaimed, "-eh God, my worst fears are realised." . She cried and asked me to forgive her, and she would still make me a good wife. She • clung to my knees, imploring me to do as she requested In the written statement she confessed that she had had a child by Mr. Winslow. Whilst she was clinging to my knees I said, ." Phillis; I pity and forgive you;,. shall never - tell: tales against you," and I tore the. written . statement up and threw . it behind the fire, adding, " You . never Can live with me again as my wife;" , She asked me to give up my. commission and go to the Continent, and reside with her and her two children till all had blown over. I , replied she seemed to be reckless of my feelings, and of the dis honour she had brought upon me and her child, and that she must leave Miss Davis's house. I deny that what my wife said occurred between us took place. She, however, remained in the house that night, :and on the following morning I informed her she must leave, and I made arrangements for her leaving. She threatened to destroy - herself if I did not relent, but I declined to make any answer to her importunities to receive her again as my wife. After breakfast I went out. with my son for a walk. I had not been absent more than half an hour when I was fetched home, where I found my wife in a state of stapour from having taken laudanum. I went for an emetic, which was administered to her. • She appeared very ill, and was put to bed. In the evening, at her • re quest, I went to her room. She said she did 114 think she could live out the night, and asked me to remain in her room. I remained in the room off and on the greater part of the night. Miss Davis remained in attendance upon her till two or throe o'clock in the morning, .and I remained in the room with her till between five and six o'clock in the morning. Mrs. Lloyd suffered great thirst during the night, and I frequently gave her water. I did not undress or go to bed, and it is untrue that intercourse took place between us that night. On the following day I told her she must leave, and I accompanied her to the station and took my leave of her. I saw her again at Blackheath about the end of February. I met her there in consequence of a letter I had received from her, and the interview lasted about twenty minutes. She was in bed, and appeared to. he very poorly end inn state of penury. I saw her in the bedroom about six in the evening, her nurse, with her child, being present the whole of the time. She asked me to receive her again as my wife, but I told-her. it ,was impossible. had to go to the Admiralty the following day, and I told her so, and in the evening of that day. I accidentally met her at the London-bridge station ;• she got into the same carriage with me ;' she got out at Blackheath, and I went, on to Chatham. I next saw her in May, at Woolwich, when I ewas fitting out my ship... I had taken an apartment for .my son and Miss Davis at the. Ship Hotel. I met her outside the hotel, from what a brother officer said to me. . She again asked me to take her back, and to let her accompany me to Malta. I told her I could not think of such a thing ; • that I never could receive her as my wife. She appeared to be in great penury, and I gave her £5, promising. that, if she lived a steady life, I would befriend her. I next. saw her at Messrs. France and Pasaner's, the .attorney's, respecting a deed of separation, at her request. The deed was drawn, but not signed, because the trustee proposed declined to act. In July, 1852, I left England on duty, and returned at Christmas, 1856. The first time I saw her after .my return was on board the Edinhnrgh in June, 1857. She came on hoard unexpectedly, and I saw her on the main deck. She said she was penni less, and 'had come to throw herself mien my prctectiou as my wife. I told her my affairs were in the hands 'of my solicitor, and I should not assist her. She did not go with me to my cabin, or any other cabin, but remained on the main deck all the time. I insisted upon her leaving the ship, but she refused to go, saving she wished to see Captain Halstead. I went to Captein Halstead, and said to him. "This is my wife; she has come to me for assistance and support, which I decline to give , her, and she refuses to leave the ship until she has seen you." CaPtain Halstead said she could not remain on board, and sent her away in his boat. I have had no connection with my wife since our marriage in 1847. I did not meether at any hotel at Chatham in 1856, as deposed to by her. . I first heard in June, 1857. through an anonymous communication, of the birth of her third child. The plaintiff was cross-examined by Mr. Lilian, but nothing material was elicited By the Judge I don't remember that I said. to Dr.' Roberts, when going down to mess,- that there was not a brother officer on board who knew r anything about my difference with my wife, because some of them knew of it. I received £4O of the railway shares on my return from India, whilst in communication with her brother, Captain Wragge. It was money saved from what I had remitted to her. I did not know at the time where she was residing. I gave her small sums of money at various periods after her confession, amounting altogether to about, £2O. I was arranging at the time for her support under a mutual separation. I did not know at the time she had other means of support. The Misses Davis were called, and gave evidence in support of the plaintiff's case. Mrs. Lloyd was very, ill that night' and also in the morning. Mrs. Lloyd occupied the back bed-room and Captain Lloyd the front room. George Hales 'deposed : In June 1857 I was a sergeant of Marines on board the Edinburgh: Mrs. Lloyd came on board. I was stationed on the main deck. She came down the ladder from the upper deck, - She was then alone. Captain Lloyd came from the same direction, and found her a few minutes afterwards. She sat on a chair on the main deck for five or ten minutes, and on his coming down she rose up and spoke to him. They walked to and fro the deck, and then up the ladder to the upper deck. During the time they were on the main deck they were on my right. She did not go into any cabin with Captain Lloyd. I was on guard at the time. I afterwards went to the upper deck, and there saw her speaking to Captain Hal stead ; and she left the ship in the Captain's boat.. She did not go back again to the main deck. Cross-examinee:: Mrs. Lloyd was on the main deck about twenty minutes. Captain Halstead deposed : In 1857 I was. in oemmand of the Edhiburgh. I remember Mrs Lloyd being on board. I first saw her on the after part of the upper deck, I did not then know it was Mrs. Lloyd. At Captain Lloyd's request I went to Mrs. Lloyd. Captain Lloyd introduced me to her. Ho introduced me saying, "This person is or was my wife," or some such. expression, " and she wishes to know if she can remain on hoard." I explained the rules of the service to her, and informed her that it was impossible she could remain. She said she had no money or means to go away withe upon which Captain Lloyd I offered her money, sayinee hog being without money should not prevent her leaving th e ship. He took out a piece of gold and gave it to leer ; Treviously calling me to witness that he gave it to her out of commisseration for her &esti., tute condition, and not because she had any claim uptm , him. I then offered her my boat, and she left the ship in s*. I was aware generally that he was under painful .circum stances with reference to his wife. I had heard it from others as well as himself. This was the defendant's case. The learned. counsel having addressed the jury for their respective clients, the learned Judge commenced summing up, observing that he would state to the jury the questions he intended to leave to them, and then adjourn to read over the evidence to-morrow. The questions he should submit to them'were—First, did the husband in 1852 condone the adultery—which meant a blotting out the offence by restor ing the wife -to her position as his wife ; and secondly, supposing they were of opinion he condoned the adultery with Mr. Winslow, had he condoned the second adultery, so as to give her a right to pledge his credit ? The foreman of the jury intimated to his lordship that they were all agreed that the defendant had not condoned the adultery, and that he was entitled to the verdict. The jury then returned a verdict for the defendant. MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER, IMPORTANT JUDGMENT, At the Court of Probate and Divorce,. London, on Wed nesdav, 'the case of Mette v. Mette came up for judgment. The facts, as given by Sir C. Cresswell in his judgment, explain ie .case. Bernard Mette was born at ISlarburg, Hesse CasseL and in 1822, when he was 13 years of age, came to England. He lived in England until the time of his death in 1856, carrying on business as a tailor in 'Sackville-street, Piccadilly; and occasionally paying, short 'visits to Germany. In 1.836 he was ,naturalisedby Act Hof Parliament. In' 1835 he married, at Fulham, accord ing to the rites and • ceremonies of the •Chureh of England,- a lady who was a • native . ;of Frankfort on-the-Maine. By her he had fire children, and she died in 1814. In 1841 he made' and' duly executed a will. In 1846 he went to. Frankfort, - and there married, according to the rites and ceremonies of the. German Pro testant Church, the sister by the half-blood of his former wife, a native of Frankfort, the marriage being a valid one both by the law of. Frankfort and that of Hesse Cassel. He returned to England, and carried on business here until his . death. By his second wife he had four children. Upon his death all his Children were under age, and their uncle took out administration, treating the will as having been 'revoked by the second marriage. When the eldest son of the first marriage came of age, he prayed that the adniinis tration which Ita been given to his uncle might 'be revoked, and probate granted •of the alleging that he had, up to that period, been ignorant of his rights. The question of the validity of the will depended upon the apnlical,ility of the jealernent of Vice-Chancellor Stuart, in " BrOOk v. Brook," to this case. _ The distinctions between that case and the present were two—first, Bernard Mette was not. a natural born British subject, but was domiciled in England, and naturalised by Act of Parliament ; and, secondly, his wife was a native of Frankfort, and domiciled there until her marriage. But, if Bernard Mette was incapacitated from contracting the marriage, no effect could be given to the last distinction, beeause no contract could be valid unless each party was competent to contract with the'other. The question, therefore, rested upon the effect of the domicile and the nataralisati , n of the deceased The Act 'by which be was naturalised was in general terms, providing that he was to be taken to be a liege subject of the Crown of Great Britain to all intents and purposes. By his own act he had placed himself in the position of a natural born subject of this kingdom, entitled to the privileges, but also subject to the obligations attaching to that character. Whether he could, by abandoning his English domicile, have regained his former position need not be considered, because he remained domiciled in this country until his death. He could not at the same time claim to be a liege Subject of the Crown of England and to enjoy the privi lege of that status, and to be a subject of Hesse Cassel in order to be free from the statutory obligations imposed upon British subjects. He owed obedience to' the sth and 6th William IV , cap. 61, and could not contract' a marriage with the sister of his deceased wife. The second marriage was therefore invalid, and did not revoke the will. On these grounds the letters of administration must be revoked, and probate of the will decreed. ELECTION NEWS. NOMINATIONS.

INVENTION.—There is nothing that housewives complain of with greater truthful ness, than the breaking of some. favourite piece of glass, valuable china, or earthenware. In hundreds of eases such things cannot be matched, and of course cannot be mended. The latter want has been obviated by an extraordinary and • effective invention, by . 111 r. Adshead, of Derby Pottery, near Derby. It is a cement that may be said to heal, in a pis.- feet manner, all cracks and breaks in the articles spoken of , and not only in these, but in marble, alabaster, &c. The benefit of this article need net be dwelt on. We have seen some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, our neighbour's, and the 'glass that has been cemented by it is stronger in, that part than in any other.

Mr. 131iek defended M'Cuch&,. Mr. Cobb was for Atkinson., and Mr. Campbell fur Fletcher. It will be remembered that Mr. Ames 'lost his wateh on Shaw's-brow, a week since. He repeated the evidence giVen by him, which has been alreadypublished. He was strhjected tootle of the most fiery-- furnace cross-examination s we have ever heard, by the three learriedl advocates—enough to have broken down the pillars of Hercules, but Mr. Jones; with a coolness that would have done . credit to any cucumber or granite_stone, bravely withstood the- ordeal. He denied that he - was called 4‘ goody two slides ;" that he ever dressed himself in women's clotheS, and went to bails in that way; that he had ever taken "liberties" with any of the prisoners, and so' on. Mr. €611 . 6 - made the fiercest attack of the three on him, and said' he was instructed to do so, and should of course follow his' instructions. The assault was so furious - , that Mr. Clough at last jumped up, and said the witness was not to be nut down by clamour ; whfn - Mr. Cobb told him to .resume his seat, as he (Mr. Cobb) was not to be daunted by Mr. Clough and his absurdities.- The three learned gentlemen addressed the court in energetic terms, each contending that. his client was innocent; and Mr- Cobb, called witnesses to prove an alibi on 'the r ant of his client. His Worship said he would not - decide the case there, and sent the 'prisoners for trial. at the sessions. LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE. - YESTERDAY. BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD. ASRAULTING A FEMALE.-7-.A " rough." named John Booth, was brought up by officer - Lees No. 90, who said, at one in the morning, he saw him knock down a young woman, in Dale-street, and - kick lien very badly in the body and legs ; the limbs were much injured. It appeared, - said the officer, that the young woman lived' With the prisoner, in Cross hall-street, and that he used to fellow her ont at night as a" bludgetter." The girl refused to appear against hini; but the officer having proved the assault, the prisoner was fined £d, or two months' impris - onment. TUE DYVES OE A PISCATORY DAMSEL, A.-'SD A CART- OwNEn.—Mary Hoy, a tall, swan-necked -looking female, described as the keeper of a fish-stall in St. !Olin's Market, was charged by Thomas 11'0g-stiff, a tart-owner, living at 26, Penrhyn-street, Scotland-road, for having stolen £29 from him. Mr. Muck was for the prisoner. The case was very laughable. The first question put to the prose cutor by Mr. Muck, was, " What's your name, sir ?" Witness ,(solemnly) : "My name is Thomas 'Wag e staff, junior ;" albeit, from his appearance, he might have been a grandfather; and when .he, said "junior," a burst of langhter followed, Mr. BlucTs And what are y=on ? Complainant : A cart-owner. He then went on to state that on 'Sunday even ing lie went out, whistling as he went, for want of thought. He was rambling about, " seeking finsadventnees," when who should he meet but the prisoner, gliding; about like a Sylnhide or: wood nymph, in the balmy twilight. At sight of her, he waxed- poetic, and, whispered something about the breezes ; sighing . a mong the treeses, and how the honey beeses and the mice was eatiu cheeses ! He had £ 9 9-a ten-peund note and 19 golden sovereigns—in a bag, and the bag was' in his poeket,' and his .hand 'was on the bag; and the bag was comfortable and snug there. He went on to state that, having met the tall lady, he asked her what she would take to drink? She condescended to have a glass of port, and they then talked about Cupid and several Other enchanting things of that sort.. "He agreed to meet her next evening in - the "Throstle Nest;" in Scotland-road, and So' the matter then ended. - They did meet, and after some time, under the infitience of ginger beer, the amorous cart-owner fell dead asleep in the arms' of one Mr. Murphy, alias Moe fe-us—thegentleman who was good enough to "invent sleep."' and there he lay as snug as a thrnsh'in a bush, and did not dream even of his £29, nor the piscatory Venus. oblivious state defied all brain g alloppers like our friend Queen Mab—a very respectable monarch in her line, is the lady Mal,. How long lie lay in this glorionS state of " for getting, and by the cold worldlings forgot," no one can say, but when he awoke, his darling Mary hail " mizzled," and,. What was worse than the absence of " darling Mary," Wa'3• the bag that held such a prominent place .in his pocket.. Even the'hag was not much valued, but its contents were the.chief object of concern, and the said contents were in no place to he found. Information was given to the police, and the result was that Miss Hoy was taken up, and on searching her a sum' of over seventeen sovereigns was found on her. The prosecutor insisted that she had taken the 1111 whole of - the money ;from him, but on' being searched him self, at the request .of the lady, the, ten pound note, and one sovereign turned out of his pocket, " snug and com fortable." The complainant was cross-examined by Mr.' Bluck, and .his answers wore as follows :—I never saw the lady before :::andea night. I did . - not fall particularly in love with here we talked a bit or so, and that was all. I did not promise to merry her. Did you say it was a good job that you - .:let L , , r might have said so, but I now think it's a bad job. (Loud laughter.) - IMO not married. I was very tipsy, but I. draals nothing. (Laughter.) Mr. Black : `flirt: you were intoxicated with delight, or some wile:: beverage of that sort? (Great laualiter ) Wit:ass : perhaps it was that way it happened. (Itensaael ,Isr.) Mr. Muck : You say you were, very tipsy;, now, sir, -:11 you swear that it was delight that made you so ? The : ter scratched his head ten times worse than any Welshmas, but refused to answer the • cutestion. Mr, : Now, mind and answer this qaestien correctly, because I intend to bring •an action against you for breach. of promise of marriage —Did you, promise to marry her ? WitnesS : I swear this, that I am not, at present, inclined to marry her nor any other lady. (Great laughter.) - Mr. Bhiek.:' Aye; but that's not 'answering the question. Did you promise to marry , her, sir ? Witness Did I promise to marry her, is it ? Mr. Block : It is, exactly. Diil you. promise to marry her, sir ? Witness: I'd rather you'd not ax me any more that way. (Laughter.) Mr. Block : Oh, but I will, sir, ask you a great deal more than that. Did you not promise to marry her, and did yon not give her the money to preyare the marriage " fixings ?-"' (Laughter.) Witness : Well, I certainly did not kiss her, at any rate. (Roars of laughter.) Mr. Black : I need not go further than this,. your Worship. His Worship was of the same opinion, and said, "The best thing to he done is to discharge the prisoner, and let the money found on het be given up to the complainant." Mr: Muck: I think your Worship ought to order her at least £lO out of the money,. for her disappointment; for I am 'instructed to' bring en action against this loving cart-owner, not only for a breach of promise, but fertile recovery of the money also. The prisoner was then discharged. ANNOYANCE. --A fine looking young woman, dressed in lady-like fashion, who gave her name as Margaret Tracy, was charged by Miss Sarah Preston, of 3e, Edge-lane, with annoyance. Tt appeared that the prisoner was-in the habit of going to the house and creating a disturbance there. Mr. Mansfield : Why does she act so? Complainant: She, says there is a gentleman in the house who owes her money. Mr. Mansfield :- Have you a gentleman lodging in the house ? Yes, sir, and she is a great nuisance to us, and comes at all hours to annoy us. Mr. Mansfield :. What have yon to say Margaret ? The'' prisoner said, ..theieis a man who calls himself :a . gentlenian, named Thomas Avison, wno owes me £9, and I have gone after him several times, but can't get him to pay me. I went there yesterday and saw'him at the window, and he jeered me in place of paying me what he owes. I admit I got excited, and,. perhaps• did not act altogether very quietly, but I won't do so any more. His 'Worship said, if the man owed her money, there was a way of recevering, it withent going to the house where her debtor lived. Would she promise to keep away from the house in future ? She made a promise and was then' dis charged with a caution. ALLEGED , DANGEROUS ASSAULT.—John Gorrie, an officer of the ship Ardisten, was brought up in custody of officer 86, who said the charge was that he assaulted a woman, named -Elizabeth Johnston. He said the injured woman was not able to attend, andhe produced a medical certificate to that effect. He also stated that the woman was eneicnte, and the allegation was, that the priSoner had kicked her in the body. Mr. Black, for the prisoner, contended that, in the absence of any evidence, his client ought to be discharged; but his Worship, in the present stage of the proceedings, said he would not discharge the prisoner. Mr. Black urged that his Worship should take bail for the prisoner, and he agreed to do so. The bail having been procured, the man Man was allowed to stand out on recognisance. Sndannataao. Hannah Olivia Wright, a , nice girl, of 14 years of age, the daughter of a man who keeps a cook shop in Park-lane, and Michael Matthews* Jas. Rushton, Henry Rushton, and John 'Matthews, small 'boys, were charged by Mrs. Sane Taylor, a lady who keepS an haber dashery shop in Great-Charlotte-street, for stealing some three dozen of gloves, value over £1 Bs. Mr. Black appeared for the girl, who seemed to be respectable. It appeared that the boys were in the habit of' calling at the shop of the girl's' father to have some refreshment, and it seemed that the lads had got into a sort' of conspiracy with the girl, and that they went, some days ago, to the shop of Mrs. Taylor, where the girl ordered a head-dress, saying she would call on a certain. day. and pay for it. She called• on Tuesday, and the lads along with her. and whilst she was speaking to tbe complainant, the lads managed' to steal the gloves, 'andsubsequent/y two pairs of the gloves. were found at the gild'a apartments at her father's. Mr. Black did all he could . to get the girl out of the case, saying she was misled by the boys, and if given up to her father she would be properly taken care of. His Wership, re manded all the prisoners, in order to see what could be done with them, as they were all so young. PLUNDER is ii * SROB Gm.— Detective-officers Scott and . Laycock, along with the ordinary officers, brought-up Diana Holmes, a respectable-looking and well dressed young woman, on a charge of having stolen goods to the amount of about £3O from her employer, Mr. Hobson, draper, of 86, Bold-street • and Margaret Holmes, het-mother, with Elizabeth , Ho'lmes, her sister, who; reside in Anne-street, Park, were charged with having received* the; same with a guilty' knowledge. From it the evidence of alfr. Kane, pawnbroker,., Mill-stre appeared that he stopped Elizabeth Holases, offering things for pledge, and his suspicionswere attracted in consequence of her having pledged some thing s previonslx. This led to an engoiry, and it. seemed that the prisoner "Diana, was an " improver" in the shop of Mr. Hobson, for about the last twelve months, and that she had managed to steal out,' c0n g1102.71.1) GO TO SEA without one. of Saunders, coaled in her crinoline, propetty to the amount stated.

TITIT ntsreN,ElL A somewhat lengthened conversation ensued upon , Mr.. Cleaver reading a letter-which he wis about forwarding to , the poor-law b:rard, in svbich.it was stated, in reply to an inquiry from that board that Dr. Nevins, the medical officer of the union, had been enabled to procure an efficient dis penser at 20s per week. Mr. Shaw wished to ask the visiting committee whether the person Dr. Nevins appointed as dispenser was engaged by Dr. Nevins specially for that purpose, or whether he was a pnpil of his ? In other Words, did Dr. Nevins receive the 20s a week himself, and get one of his apprentices to do the work ? Mr. Woods, as one 'of the visiting committee, stated that he 'did not know who the , person' appointed by Dr. Nevins was, nor did he - see thot it made much matter, 'as Dr. Nevins received the 20s, and was authorised to appoint whom he liked, and was .responsible. Ultimately it was agreed that the 20s a week should be allowed. Mr. Hall, master of the hospital, was called in and asked for an 'explanation regarding his absence from the meeting of the b- , ard last WedneSday. He said he had received I letter from his father, in which he wished him to meet him at Chester. He had seen Mr. Abrahams just before he went, and that gentleman had stated, that if he got some officer to read his reports, he did not see any objection to his dOing so. A somewhat sarcastic conversation ensued, in the course of which it appeared that Wednesday, the 4th inst. - , was. " cup day" at Chester:' Mr. Hall was admonished. THE ATERTON DISTRICT. A letter was read from the Poor-law boar.l in reference to the appointment of a,mcdical offictr for Everton district. The clerk of the poorzlaw board stated that on looking at the census reports of 1851, it was found that' the population, of Everton was then upwards of 25,000. It was quite probable that the population had vastly increased, and the boar] invited the attention of the guardians to the question, whether it would not be desirable to divide the district, and appoint two medical men. Mr. Shaw objected to such a division. The duty afire district was welt performed by one officer, and he did not see that there was any necessity for a second officer. Mr. Roberts thought that it was` quite the duty-of the guardians to take the subject into consideration'. Mr. Lynch, the medical officer of the district, had more work to do than any medical man in either Liverpool or •Toikth parishes. . . After some conversation, a committee was appointed to inquire into the subject and report whether they considered such a. division as suggested by the poor-law 'obUrd was desirable. The 'committee consists of the guardiaes,of the - two townships of .Everton and West. Derby. The contract of Mr. Joseph Holden, of Kirkdal&, for the plumber's work of the house for the ensuing year, was accepted. The sum is £35. Some routine business having been disposed of,..the - meeting separated. SMOKE .NITISA..NCES . ~.... ._. ....., _ BEFORE M 4. HEATH. Yesterday, a number of persons were summoned- before the above Magistrate, at the instigation of Mr.Wiguall, the inspector of smoke nuisances, for having, on various occa sions, permitted dense : volumes of black ,smoke to issue from their respective furnaces, after having been repeatedly cautioned by that .officer. Mt: - 31‘Gowat; on behalf of the health coMmittee, appeared to conduct the prosecution. In each of the cases, however, the offending parties, or their representatives, admitted the oiknee ; it now having been clearly and definitely decided, that the prevention of the escape of smoke can be avoided, and that.when it does occur, it is only through the gross carelessness .of the persons engaged at the furnaces, the following fines were inflicted, the cases having been clearly proved by Mr, Wiguall : The Birkenhead.Commissioners, as the owners of ththeamer Liverpool, plying between the Landing-stageand Birkenhead, for permitting smoke to escape on the 30th. April last. The ferry manager admitted the offence, and said that, as the commissioners would make the etrineer pay the fine, he hoped it would be as small as possible; : tined, not being the first offence, £5 and costs. The Messrs. Applebee, the owners of the steamer Sovereign, plying between Liverpool and Bristol, were fined 40s and costs, for a like . offence. . The assignees of the late I Mr. Robert Roberts, cement makerS, of . Ford street, were• fined 55.. and costs. Catherine Richards, of Leeds-street, was fined 40s. and costs. In this case the manager, who admitted that the smoke could be . prevented, attempted to contradict the statement -of the in specter,. but the witnesses he called only showed that they were not on the premises at the time and knew nothing whatever of the . occurrence.. The Messrs. Carringtons, glass bottle manufacturers, were fined £5 and.. costs. Messrs. Browne and Martin, 40s. arol costs. . The Messrs. Mitchell and Co., of Cohinitt-street, in the like sum.;, and Patrick Hare, soap maker, St. Andrew's-street, 50s and costs. In most of the cases the goes were at once: paid, awl the parties were cautioned.not to offend again. SOUTH LANCASHIRE: ELECTION. TO TIIE EDITOR OF TILE NORTHERN TIMES. Sie,—l fear lest, in our national indignation at Dr, Goss' circular, and at the wholesale corruption practiced by , Lord Derby on the Roman Catholics, the Liberal party mar be. guilty of a great injustice. It is, indeed, too true, that now, for the first- time, have some perhaps many Catholics deserted the. Liberal cause. But it 2,3 . also true that many Catholics Liverpool and the neighbourhood have stood firm by their I party, and consider that their Bishop has exceeded his just province by intermeddling in political questions. In this late contest for South Lancashire, several of the leading Catlu were among the roost active workers on the Liberal committee—several . of the oldest Catholic Families were heartily w ith . us _ many of the humbler Catholics braved the anger of their priests in order to vote according to their conscience. In conclusion, let me express a hope-th a t some of our staunch Tory- Protestants will call TAM: Derby to account for his cox - laud in this dection.—l am, sir, Your, • . A P RQ TEsT.ANT. LIBEUAL.
