Mr. Hou.Nar that the question of payment by fees was under the consideration of the Finance Committee. The recommendation that Mr. Wybergh and Mr. Gar nett be paid £lOO a-year each, in addition to their present salaries, was then confirmed, as were also the rest of the proceedings. WATCH COMMITTEE The proceedings of the Watch Committee having been read, a letter was read from Mr. J. A. Tinne, on behalf of the county magistrates assembled at Kirkdale, asking the Council to send a number of the borough police to the ensuing races at Aintree, to assist the county police. The letter urged that the Council ought not to object, inasmuch as a great proportion of those attending the races were from Liverpool. The letter further stated that the ex penses incurred in sending the force to the races would be repaid by the race committee. Mr. TOBIN, in moving the confirmation of the pro ceedings, recommended the Council to sanction compliance with Mr. Tinne's letter. Mr. GREGSON seconded the motion, and after a short discussion, the proceedings were confirmed. The proceedings of the Dock Committee, Courts of Law Committee, Markets Committee, and Education Committee, were severally read and confirmed without remark. The proceedings of the Gaol and House of Correction Committee comprised a recommendation to increase the salary of William Buckley, taskmaster, from £lOO to £lO per annum, the consideration of which was post poned at the last monthly council pursuant to standing orders. _ . Mr. G. HoLT moved the confirmation of the proceed ings, and spoke highly in praise of the services of the taskmaster during a long series of years. Mr. Alderman LANGSDALE warmly approved of the proposed increase in Mr. Buckley's salary. lie had known him as a faithful servant for thirty years, and he could have wished that instead of an increase of £2O a year the committee had given him £4O. (Cheers.) The proceedings were con - firmed, as also those of the Town-hall Establishment Committee. *HEALTH COMAIITTEr.-INCREASE OF SALARTtS. The proceedings of the Health Committee comprised recommendation to rant the following increase of sala lies, to the undermentioned persons z—ln the Borough Engineer's departrant—Patrick M. Coogan, from £l5O to £175 per annum John M. Sadler, 15(1 to £175 ; James Saunderson, £l2O to £l4O ; William Walker, £7e to £9O ; Richard Blade, £l2O to £130; John Pickavance, 245. to 265. per week.—ln the Inspector of Nizisanca department :—T. Fresh, Inspector of Nuisance, from £l7O to £2OO per annum ; Henry A. Arnsley, and Robt. Higgins. from 255. to 30s. ; Robert'Orphat, Robt. Green. James Reify, James Crosbie, -John Young, Edward Freeny, Thomas Bromley, George Nairne, Samuel Kirk patrick, ltam 21s. to 235. . . . . A. memorial was also read from certain inhabitants of Scotland-woad, complaining of The injurious alterations in the foet- paths now going on in that district. Mr.-Alderman LANGSDATI4, in moving the confirma tion of the proceedings, moved the omission of a resolu tion passed by the committee - with reference'to slaughter homes. The resolution 'he alluded to was that which propesed that where a licence had been taken away from a - clauglifer-house, in consequence Of the terms of the license having been infiingeci, no license mould in future he gran! - ed to such preMises. The conitaittee had come to the conclusion that it would be har.th and unjust to csrry out the resolution. Mr. Alderman 'Cods.eim was glad tollear that the com mittee had come to the conclusion to - expunge the resolu tion, because he had come to the council in order to oppose it, on the ground that it was arbitrary. Mr. CIIA&a.EST ass n perceived, according to the Pro ceedings of the committee, that the sum of X-40.,00 1 7 had been borrowed dt four per cent. It seemed a large rate of interest, and perhaps the chairman of the committee would expain the circumstances - under which it had - teen borrowed. 'Arr. LANC-DA , LE, in reply, said that the cdniniittee had made thetsual application 'for a loan, and toutict that in consequence of money being scarcer than usual,' they could only raisetetween - .&7000 and £BOOO at three-11nd a half por.ceut. They were getting deeply indebted to the bank, and that was what they did not like to - see,' tted as a gentleman io 'Green.lane bs.-.3 come forward, ahring to lend the:sum of £40,000 at 'four per cent., they bad ac cepted it. ''''Such was the way in which the - sectirity of the Hosiltii'Comrnittee was now regarded. (A laugh.) Vta-k-sR remarked, with regard to the resolution of the committee on the staughter-hauses, thht it would be a - mist arbitrary proceeding to deprive air-slaughter house of a license merely because a ;former tenant had iirth'.oged the terms of the license. The plarenught not for thatto 'be disfrandhised. He did net likethia6whOle -sale disfranchisemeet. {Laughter.) s -Nottlititt he believed , there-wnshny danger of its being carried out, eithetia this case or elsewhere. (Itenewed lauglftert) After-some further discussion on the 'subject, the.pro needings of the committee, as moved Langsdale, -were confirmed, with the exception of the - salaries;' which were ordered to stand over till the nett monthly meeting, in accordance with the-standing orders.-and the memorial of the inhabitants .of-Scotland-reed was -referred to the committee for their consideration. The.proceedings of the Gardens Committee and the 'Church 'Expenditure 'Committee were neat read and can trmed. "VW./:7 , 2R CONILL7'O7I:7—STATE or THE" WORKS.

Monelay next. - Mr. LA NG SELsVLE-seconded the motion, and the pro— ceedings were confirmed. A NEW MiTILT)II` .I.I3MARY AND nuser.m. The proceedings -of the Library and Museum. Com mittee includel a report from the committee asking the !Council for its sanction to a proposal to look out for a-site on which to emet anew building, the premises at present used.as the Li.brary and Museum having been found.. small to carry out theobjects of the committee. Mr. PICTON. .moving the confirmation of the 'pro ceedings, expressed his satisfaction at the prospect which there now was 'of -establishing a- lending library at the north and south entle of the town ' in eomnection with the North and Sotah'Corporation-Schools. The generalanso ceedings of the committee during the past month havir , g been confirmed, 'Mr. Picton weeded to say th a t li e would now mor-e'the-edoption of the • report of the com rnittee respecting the new building, which had been cir eulated, and which they had, doubtless, all read. When the experiment of the establishment of the free library and museum wes-'first made by •the'Cozneil three years ago, doubts were expressed by many gentlemen as to the prabakility of its success. He might now confidently say that any doubts of that kind which miglatlave existed two years or twelve months ago, were novr dispelled. I t had been shewn that the people of LiverpooLdid fully appreciate the opportunities for relaxation and iraprovement which had been afforded them •b;-the museum, and by the books which the committee lied been enabled to'bring together, and that the utility of - the buildiir , was , only preve n ted from further expansion -11y the limited size of the building. • The building at present occupied had' become utterly 'inadequate for the demand made upon , the institution, whether as regarded the library or the museum. (Hear, hear.) If they began with the ranseuni, they were perhaps all aware that a very large attendance of the inhabitants, and of strangers also, was taking place every day during which it was open. and thatthepublic curiosity v.-as rather on the increase than otherwise. In addition to this, the number of specimens not stuffed was larger than those stutTed, and these ,were being injured. Then, if they took the library, •they had set space for the boos of which they were at present in possession. With regard to the re dine-room, it ;night , be observed SAL TO ERECT. FOR. THE ~ that there V7f.s.'S no increase of readers, because no increase was possible in consequence of the limited _size of the rooms. (Hear, hear.) But .every night the, room was crowded, and they could not extend the usefulness of the institutkm in-the way of. readers. The act of parliament provided fora gallery of art ; and he had no hesitation in saying, that if they had room they would have a very fine gallery ofart both in sculpture and painting, without put ting the Cannel tto one shilling of expense. After pointing out the impossibility of carryingout the objectsof theinsti tution in other. respects, Mr..Picton proceeded to say that the time seemed to have arrived for extending the build_ lug. The only difficult,- with the .committee had :bees whether they should ask permission of the Cannel/. to enlarge the present bukcling, or to4ook out for another - site in which to erect an entirely new building:. Mr. Ficton then entered into a statement to show that it was much more desirable to look out for a new site than to attempt any enlargement of the present building,; and concluded by asking the Council to give the committee power to look out for a new site, and .report again at a future meeting. _ _ •Ilir. AVISON seconded the motion. After a short discussion the resolution was.earried, and the proceedings of the committee,confirmed. The proceedings of the Hackney Coach , Committe e were next read and confirmed. NEW BATHS AT THE ‘PIE :11.0-HEAD. The proceedings of the Baths Committee - comprised a report on the subject of re-arranging and rebuilding the pier-head baths, at an estimated cost of £23,000. Th e report stated, that the proposed new bathallould contain, on the male side, two large plunge baths, two private plunge baths, seventeen slipper baths, each fitted with a shower bath, and four vapour baths; and the sam e arrangement on the female side. Mr. Alderman P.A.RICER, in an energetic speech, moved the adoption of the report of the committee , and in the course of his remarks he stated that the present baths were in such a dilapidated state that the committee Would not be responsible for their future safety if the proposal s contained in their report were not adopted. He under,. stood that the chairman of the Dock Committee was to oppose it on the ground that the Dock Committee might w9.nt the land at some future time. He ridiculed such a notion, and stated that the health of the inhabitants was of more consequence than the interests of the Dock Committee. Mr. Parker, at some length, contended that salt water baths, such as werenow proposed, ought to be erected near the pier-head. Mr. FERNIROUGIS seconded _the motion. Mr. Alderman TURNER said the question was one of great importance, and it might save a deal of time if he now moved that the report of the committee be printed and circulated among the members of the council. The amendment having been seconded, Mr. CHARLES TURNER said be wished to say a few words before the resolution just moved by Mr. Alderman Turner was pnt. Mr. Turner then stated that he should be very sorry to oppose en increase of the baths in the town, which might tend to benefit the health of the inhabitants, but he was at a loss to know why it was requisite to place the baths in a situation which would very much in terfere with the improvement of the port. After shewing that the land at the pier-head would in a short time be required for the business of the port, and baths might b e placed in another part of the town, Mr. Turner conclu ded by assuring the Council that the Dock Committee would be very sorry to interfere with the health of the inhabitants. Mr. FERNIHOUGH said the Dock Committee had no right whatever to the site of the pier-head baths. The cheirman of ;be Dock Co mittee talked as if the Baths- MEETING YESTERDAY. The monthly and special meeting of the Council (post poned from Wednesday last in consequence of the elec tion) was held yesterday, the Mayor presiding. The proceedings, resolutions, and reports of the Finance Committee comprised—Further consideration of report of Surveyor as to ventilation of the Council-chamber, post poned at the last monthly Council ;—Report of Town clerk, according to the instructions of the Council at the last meeting on the resolutions of the magistrates as to the parochial business ; and further consideration of the resolutions of the magistrates as to that business ;—Re commendation to purchase freehold property in Erskine street,—namely, a house and 1,458 square yards of land, or thereabouts, for the sum of £1,525 ;—Recommenda tion to purchase the leasehold interest of Mr. Jas. Winkop in a public-house, Hurst-street, for the sum of £6OO ; Recommendation to grant the reversion of a house in Oxford-street, for a parsonage-house attached to the church of St. Stephen, Martyr ;—Recommendation to increase the salary of Mr. Venn to £5OO per annum. ENLARGEMENT AND VENTILATION OF THE COUNCIL CHAMBER-PROPOSED ADMISSION OF THE PUBLIC. Mr. Howsny, in moving the confirmation of the pro ceedings, would do so seriatim. The first was the report of the surveyor as to the ventilation . of the council chamber. He thought that the surveyor had advanced sufficient reasons for making it appear clear to the council that any enlargement of that room was quite unnecessary, and that it could not be carried out without very much interfering with the public business at the Town-hail. He looked upon it that they were bound to adopt the 'surveyor's report. The motion having been seconded, Mr. WOODRUFF said that before the report of the sur veyor was adopted, perhaps the council would :.flow the motion to be taken which he had upon the paper ; and per mission having been given, Mr. Woodruff brought forward the following motion, of which he had given notice:— "That previously to any arrangement be sanctioned by the Council for enlarging or ventilating the Council chamber, the surveyor be instructed to report whether it is practicable, and to what extent, to find accommodation for strangers during the sittings of the Council, their ad mission to be regulated by orders from members a the Council, or ticieets, as the ouncil may here after determine." When the question of vetirj lating the Council-chamber was last before the Council, it would be remembered that Mr. Gladstone seemed to have - sotte plan in his mind for enlarging the Chamber, sso as to admit strangers. His (Mr. Woodruff's) impression 'was, that the burgesses had a legal right to be present during the deliberations of the Council, and that it was against the spirit of the law to held their sittings with closed doers. It was ',yell known, that most of the corporations of England admitted strangers, and he did not see why Liverpool, being one et the first corporations in the country, should not adopt the principle. He knew it would be urged by some that his suggestion could not be carried cut with conve nience. Tie was aware it could not be done in that room, lotit - he 'contended thatit could easily be'eacted by some other arrangement.

As far as the principle was concerted, he repeated that strangers had a right to demand admission te their debates :; and he thought that if any person 'was to carne and demand admission at the present tiros,, and if the question as to his right of - admission was pz:1; to 'the Town-clerk, he - would hardy take upon himself to - say that the party -should not be admitted. . . The MATov..—I certainly - should, Mr. Woo off. Mr. WoonuuFF : Well, lie - nevertheless tkought' the public had a right to he present, and he hoped' ie Cozacil would now admit the principle. Some gentiernerrmight argue that es the reporters were allowed to bepresent, there waa no necessity for admitting the public, but whilst he admitted that they Tr.porters did justice to the various rnemb-ers of the Council, and sometimes did more for them 'than they were entitled to, newspaper reports were necessarily obliged to - be - condensed, and conseuently the public were not made- e equainted with all - that took place. He therefore hoped - that the Council would affirm the of his motion. The 11i...Y0u inquired if Woodrzs intended the motiara as an amendment. Me. WOODRUFF replied - ir.the affirmave. - be: - .ause, he remarked, if they adopted - thesurveyor's report; it seemed to his that his motion wouizl be useless.. M. DOVER thought it bad better be considered as a distinct motion rather than as an amendment. Mr. ileaavalr, on the-same side, said Mr:Woodruff had better allow the surverir's , report to pass, and then his prorosai might be brought - forward afterwards. The TnvN.CLERK said it might be necessary to explain thotthis matter did not , now come before the'Council in the , ordicary way. it was deferred at the last meeting of the Council, and if the report was now carried, be was of opinion that Mr. Weadtuf:'e motion would beltseless. Mr. Woodruff's motion having been -seconded, IVIr:P:CTON said he worild suggest to Mr:Woodruff the propriety of postponing . h:s motion for the present. There were many considerations involved in it. It was not merely the enlargement of that room, -but an inter ference-with the various offices throughout the building. The .-rp - ,estion was whelker it would not, be better to -remove the Council Chamber from • that building altogether. (Hear, hear.' Very shortly . st.

Mr. Vt'OODRUFF then areed to withdraw the motion for the present, in t ccordzace with Mr. Picton's sugges tion, believing that on the principle involved-in his motion he had the Council with him.

ECE.NBY next moved the confirmation of that part of the Finance Committee's proceedings, recommending that the salaries of Mr. Wybergh and Mr.(Garnett, the maestrates' clerks, be increased £lOO a year each, in con sidmation of their undertaking to perform.the parochial business of the parish, since'Mr. Lowncies had resigned the v&gice el legal adviser.af the.parish. Mr.. Alderman DOVER strongly opposed the motion, and moved, as an amendment, that the salary of Mr. Garnett be increased £loa year, and that of Mr.Wybergh £5O a Tear. , The office wklich these gentlemen Lad under taken to :fill, now that Mr. Lomules had- resigned, was simply a sinecure, and these were not the damfor perpe tuating sinecures. He wor,id give them an illustration of the office and- the nature ef the duties to be:performed. Mr. Lqwndes' salary was Z4OO ,c year, but in addition to this there wen distinct tharges made whenever there was any parish business of the slightest consequence to perform. In proof of this Le might inform the Council that during the time he (Mr. Dover) occupied the office of churchwarden and oversetr, he paid ,Mr. Lowndes the sum of Zi,C3OO, in addition to the fixed salary of £4OO. (Hear, hear.) The fie was, that the.ordinary legal business of the parish wet in reality performed by the cestry-elerk, .and not by the miagistrates'.clerks. Mr. BRADLEY seconded the amendment. Mr. Alderman PARKER remarked that, if the off:cc was e sinecure, as ctated by Mr. Dover, it was inconsistent to give any advance of salary at all. (Hear, hear, from Mr. Bighatn.) He E , opect the motion of the ,chairman of the Finance Committee would be put, in the usual way, znd then he (Mr. Parker) altoOd have another amendment to move on it. - Mr. Avssoc agreed with Mr. Parker that, if the office was a sinecure, Mr. Dover's amendment was inconsistent. Besides that, it was invidious in making such a marked distinction between Mr. Wybergh and Mr. Garnett. Mr. Avison then denied that there were not legal duties to perform. The question did not seem to be properly un derstood. The fact was that Mr. Lowndes, having re sigacd the office of legal adviser to the parish, the magis trates had appointed Mr. Wyberz,li and Mr. Garnett to perform the duties. Theee duties, therefore, they would have to perform, and would be responsible for them.. He thought, considering all the circumstances, that, if the Council was to give them anything,at all, it should be at least, 41100 a year each. Mr. BIGHAM denied the arguments put forward by Mr. Avison, and contended that there ought to be no advance whatever. Considerable discussion followed, in which several mem bers took part. Mr. CHARLLS TURNER said the question to him seemed to be whether they were to have a legal adviser to the parish or not. flt had been stated that the legal du ties of the parish were performed by the vestry clerk, but the vestry cleric was not a lawyer. Now, Mr,. Lowndes was a professional map, and all legal documents, connected with the parish were sent to Mr. Lowndes,, and approved of by him before the magistrates would act npon them. The question then was, would they continue to have a -legal adviser for parish business ? and if so, the next,ques tton was, who was to undertake the duties, and do it economically ? As far as be.could understand, they could not eompel the magistrates' clerks to perform those dutiee without a special remumeration, and he did not think that they could point to any other gentlemen more able to perform them. Mr. PKTON thought the question was not yet fairly before the Council. It seemed to him that this natter belonged priecipally to the magistrates, and was their business only. He warned the Council against confirm ing the proposed advance to the magistrates' clerks ; for, if they be ydid pass it, they m i g ht d e p en d upon it that it w again and again agitated, and after all a person to perform these duties would be appointed, distinct alto gether from the magistrates' clerks and in that case they would find a difficulty in reducing the salaries of the ma gistrates' clerks if the proposed addition was made, His ppp o are w eitd n pf o.a o tr to p e n a eiroedndi theseduw cn a e s odd , to t t tta h i heb a isl t a ne;koaif p nt f e wde r ea s ss o t ,b n c oaout o n t u s ti g obs l ft ee l t wr t i ,cbo,hie: he e iCouncil is). should appointed oougt t t o o dignity ld b e of the Council that the boro ug h f und should be swelled by the payment of such fees as were collected from this source. Mr. HoRNBY, in replying, agreed with Mr. Turner, that the magistrates would not recognise any legal docu ment signed by Mr. Hart. It was in the power of the magistrates to act upon the late arrangement and appoint a person to succeed Mr. Lowndes, and in that case the Council might again Lave £4OO a year to pay. The only remedy for the evil complained of was that suggested by Mr. Picton, and it was one which had frequently been before the Finance Committee, and which they thought of adopting. After some farther conversation, Mr. DOVER agreed to withdraw his amendment, as also did Mr. Alderman FARKgA a further amendrueut 7 On the [ 4 :§l2:alacg ginu by STANDATM, TUESDAY, JULY 12, 1553. committee were starting a new idea. But the fact was, the baths were there. If the Dock-chairman wanted the site of the baths for dock purposes, perhaps he would tell the Council what he proposed doing with the landing stage, and with the thousands who crossed the river every day. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BANNER recommended Gill-street market as a good site for new salt-water baths. After some further discussion, the proceedings of the committee were confirmed, with the exception ni the report respecting the re-erection of the Pier-head Baths, and it was agreed that the report be printed and circulated amongst the members of the Council, and that the sub ject be postponed until the next meeting of the Council. The Coroner's account, amounting to £37. 6s. Od., was passed. Mr. HENDERSON then brought forward the motion of which he had given notice—" That it be an instruction to the Finance Committee, so soon as they can obtain pos session of the land, to make a road through the Newshana house estate, from the London-road to the West Derby road, and that they take measures to get the land disposed of on leases for building purposes as early as possible." Atter some discussion, Mr. Henderson withdrew his motion, and the business on the paper having been dis posed of, the Council separated about half-past three o'clock. THE STEAM-SHIP TRIDENT, which was scuttled in the Thames, to save her from burning, was, on Saturday, raised, and got into dock. THE MARRIAGE of M. Von Hall, Dutch Minister for Foreign Affairs ; and Madlle. Schiff, melpenninck, daughter of the ci-decant minister at this court, was solemnised at the 'Mane on Tuesday. THE LATE ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN PATEY.—We are happy to state that Captain Patey, of Her Majesty's ship Amphion, who was so fearfully injured by the carrying away - of the heavy block aloft this day se'nnight, is going on favourably at the Royal Hospital, Hasler. He has undergone the operation of trepanning. THUNDER STORM.—On Thursday night, a thunder storm of a terrific character broke over Gravesend. It commenced at nine o'clock, and continued until three o'clock the following morning. The whole atmosphere, momentarily illuminated with flashes of sheet lightning, presented an awful and at the same time a grand spec tacle. The thunder claps, in rapid succession, were very loud, and the inhabitants were in the utmost alarm, many of whom sat up the whole night. THE PORT or BRISTOL.—From a comparative state ment of the numbers and tonnage of vessels with cargoes entered inwards and cleared outwards from the port of Bristol fur the six months ending the 30th of June last, it appears that, as regards the inward trade, the past half year exhibits an increase of no less than 110 ships, and 22,114 tons, in comparison with the corresponding half year in 1852; and on the outward trade an increase of 22 ships and 8,312 tons, being equal to 56 per cent. in the former case, and 32 per cent. in the latter. THE CAMP AT CHOBFIAM.—A brilliant field-day on Saturday was abruptly terminated by a serious accident to Colonel Bentinck, commander of the Brigade of Guards. His horse going at a rather sharp pace stumbled into one of the narrow holes with which the Common abounds, and the rider pulling him up sharply, he reared, and fell back upon him. Colonel Bentinck was at first uncon scious, and, besidos internal injuries, had several of his ribs broken. He was removed at once on a stretcher to Higham-lode, Lord Seaton's residence, in the neigh bourhood. In consequence of this melancholy occur rence the troops were ordered back to the camp before the evolutions through which they were to have gone had been completed. THE MISSES SHARPLEY.—These obstinate females seem still determined to end their lives by starvation, despite the fact that money is at their disposal, because they will not submit to receive anything in the shape of charity. On Friday, at the meeting of the Marylebone Board of Guardians, Mr. Messer, the relieving officer, reported that he had been to the Misses Sharpley's lodg ings in Stingo-lane, and that after much difficulty he suc ceeded in seeing them through the slightly-opened door of their apartment. He offered them a sovereign, telling them that it was a portion of £l6, which the board of guardians held, and which was subscribed for them when they were it the workhouse, after attempting to destroy themselves by starvation. They both indignantly rejected the produce of charity, and declared they would receive nothing Int in the shape of panel:hi'. relief. Ia reply to the urgent request of the officer that they would take the money, they slammed the doo".-_ in his face. Mr. Messer stated that he understood they had received some money from Windsor ; but be carressed his intention to keep 'them under close inspection, and if he found reason for believing they contemplated starving themselves, he should have them at once removed, by force, if necessary. to the workhouse.

We gather that the famed "Joe" immigrated into this locality about forty years ago, leaving behind him, (we believe, at Honiton,) the first wife of his bosom, for causes known, perhaps, to him, but unknown to fame, he had separated, and about twenty-six years ago, being then above sixty, he beguiled Nancy Morris, his second wife, then about fifty, to whom he was united, either as bachelor or widower, at Donyatt, about four miles hence, and they have ever since lived as man and wife, supported by means of parochial assistance, not entirely from this parish, Honiton having shared the honour of maintenance up to the period when parishes generally threw off their non resident poor to the tender mercies of the common fund of the Union in which they respectively dwelt. Honiton has also had the care of our hero's first love, who bore her I divorcement from the faithless " Joe" up to within a period of five years, dying in the Union—not of her hus band, but of the latter parish. All these facts having reached the ears of one of their spiritual advisers, he sug gested the necessity of a re-union, as the least thing that could be done in the way of amendment for such iniquities, and the banns having been duly published, the second wedding came off as above.

Whether Nancy had broken or worn out her first ring we have not heard, but no little difficulty occurred for the lack of one; eventually, however, a sympathising damsel, (not a long way from Hymen's Altar,) supplied the article, which, strange to say, was used as a mourning ring one hundred and fifteen years ago, and descended to her as a sort of heir-loom. After the wedding, Mr. Cog - gen, a resident artist, immortalised the happy couple by the daguerreotypic process, and gave them a dinner. They spend the honeymoon "at home," and will be happy to receive visits from the lovers of the marvellous, from whom they have already received sundry shillings wherewith to sweeten their tea during that interesting period. —Exeter Gazette. THE RAILWAY Krxe;,—ln the Court of Chancery, on Friday, Lord Justice Turner delivered the judgment of the Lords Justices of Appeal in reference to an appeal from a decree of the Mager of the Rolls in the case of the York and North Midland Railway Company, against Mr. Hud. son for on account. The question was, what sort of an account ought to be directed to be taken. Their lordships thought that the decree of the Master of the gulls, that, an account be taken of the North British and other shares mentioned in the pleadings, and the time when such moneys were received ; that there be an inquiry to ascertain how the account entitled the ' North British Ac count,' (which is the account with the bank between Mr. Hudson and the Yorkshire Union Banking Company,) would have stood on the sth of March, 1849, if the money so actually received by Mr. Hudson in respect of the North British and other shares had been paid into the bank when Mr. Hudson received the same. And, in taking the said account, and making the said inquiries, all sums actually paid by Mr. Hudson, to or on account of the company, in respect of the proceeds of the shares and scrip certificates, are to be credited to Mr. Hudson in account with the company, and to be retained from the balance found to be due to the company ; and that Mr. Hudson be credited for the sums so paid, as though the same were then actually paid into the said account," should be altered, and a decree made to the effect that " Mr. Hudson was a trustee for the York and North Midland Railway Company for all sums cf money received by him in respect of the North British shares and scrip certifi cates in the pleadings mentioned, and, as such trustee, accountable to the plaintiffs for the said moneys ; that an account be taken of all sums of money received by Mr. Hudson foror in respect of the shares and scrip certificates, or any of them ; that an inquiry be made when such moneys were received ; end that an account be also taken made o time to of all sums of money paid by him to, for, or on account of the York and North Midland Railway Company, in respect of the sums received, and all sums of money pro perly paid by, or allowed to Mr, Hudson for e bro t k i e e r s ag m e r o es r other expenses incurred by him on account f w the shares or any of them ; and let an inquiry be made . l n the balances compound transactions, have been in the hands time, during these payments of a and money allowances se received, of Mr. Hudson to be accounted for by him; that an land Railway Company h ave been charged with any, and what, sums of money for or in respect of interest, and inquiry be also made whether the York and North Mid. were an re d s I n ) h c i t c ' h y e , I 37 . interest, and what amount, on account of any p ayment made by the bankers in respect of the scrip certificates ; and what interest, whether simple or compound, and what sums for commission, end whether any commission, and from and during what periods such inte rest was charged ; there should be the other inquiry in the form in which it is now directed, and the bill as to the lien upon the estates should be dismissed, and this substi tuted for the first and second paragraphs of the decree." The cost of the appeal on both sides would, Lord Justice Knight Bruce stated, be costs on the catue, and the deposit would be returned." COCRI AND FASHION THE EARL OF DERBY has Lecome a benefactor to the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford, by thedonationof 100 guineas. THE PRINCE OF WALES, who, when he arrived at Windsor Castle, last week, was in a state of convalescence, is now quite recovered, and rides in the park twice a day. MALTA.—On the anniversary of the coronation of he: Majesty, th e i n t erest i ng ceremon y of laying the founda tion-stone for the enlargement of the principal gateway of this city, was performed by his excellency the governor. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlF::.—The marriage of Lord Aberdour, eldest son of the EArl of Morton, with Lady Alice Larobton, youngest sister of the Earl of Durham, took place on Thursday at St. James's Church, Piccadilly. LORD JOHN RUSSELL is iadisposed at Pembroke-lodge, Richmond-park. The indisposition, though slight, was sufficient to prevent him from being present at the Cabinet Councils on Wednesday and Friday. r nu b% . celebrated during the present week. • THE MARRIAGE of Lady Emily de Burgh, second daughter of the Marquis of C l an r icarde , and grand daughterf s n of of George the a t Canning, a Earinn i n g o , with cor Viscount ka n d ory, n ga willry a re o grandson THE KING OF THE BELGIANS, on the occasion of the forthcoming marriage of the Duke de Brabant, has con ferred the Grand Cordon of Leopold on the King of Ha nover, Prince Frederick of Prussia, Prince Charles of Prussia, and the Archdukes Ferdinand and Charles of Austria, and Prince Charles Leichtenstein. POSTPONEMENT OF THE VISIT OF TIIE QUEEN TO IRELAND.—In consequence of Prince Albert being at tacked by the measles, the Queen's visit to Dublin is postponed for the present. The two yachts and the Blenheim, which had sailed on Tuesday from Portsmouth, have been ordered hack, and the preparations for the re ception of her Majesty in Dublin have been stopped. THE following bulletin of the health of Prince Albert was issued on Friday :—Buckingham Palace, Friday, July 8. His Royal Highness Prince Albert has an attack of measles. The eruption has come fully out, and the disease is proceeding favourably. James Clark, M.D." The following is the bulletin which was issued on Satur day :—" His Royal Highness Prince Albert has bad a good night. The disease is taking its natural course favourably." • NOBLE VISITORS. — Her Majesty's steamer Vivid has saled for Antwerp to be in readiness to convey the Grand Duchess Marie and suite to England. The grand duchess is the widow of the late Duke of Leuchtenberg. The grand duchess, who will be accompanied by her six children, will proceed from Dover direct to Torquay, where a mansion has been taken for the season for the accommodation of the grand duchess and her imperial family. The Grand Duchess Catherine, of Russia, daughter of the Grand Duke Michael, and niece of the Emperor. is also r.bout to pay another visit to this country, in company with her royal consort, the Duke George of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. She was much pleased with her residence at Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight, last year, and a very fine mansion has been taken for her at Ryde. It is rumoured that the eldest daughter of the Czar is on the eve of visiting this country with her family. DISSENSIONS IN THE CABINET.—A Sunday paper says that on Saturday the report which has been some time past in circulation that the members of the govern ment are hopelessly divided on the Russia and Turkey question received confirmation by communications which were made at the various clubs, and by the remarkable anxiety which Lord Palmerston displayed on the previous evening not to allow the question to be discussed in the House of Commons, as it threatened to be on Mr. Layard's motion, which affirmed that the house had learned with deep concern that the Emperor of Russia had announced a policy and adopted measures which affected the integrity of the o,tornan empire. It appears that if this motion had been allowed to come before the house, the ministry would have been in a singular state of perplexity, inasmuch as no opinion could have been offered upon it as being the resignation present ad m b i f n sLa r t d i o beopinion of the government , altho u g h, of course, in dividual members of the administr ation mi g ht have expressed their sentiments. It is currently r e p orted in political circles that there is no chance of anything like and rde eu'a that; gov consequently, unity of action on this question on the part o f the otnnst4nutentmlya-,, b the expected in the course of a very few days. FASHIONS FOR JULY. FROM " LE FOLLET.") The adaptation of the fashion of past times to the cos tume of the present day, contributes to produce most charming models. Thus, the dress worn in the eighth century by Marguerite of Provence ; the flat body en circling the hips, to which is added the sleeves of the time of Raphael, the coiffures of Elizabeth of England and Diana of Poictiers, and all the fancies of the times of Pompadour and Watteau, form the becoming costume so much in demand at the present season. The lingerie creates quite a sensation ; but the immense variety, both in form and embroidery, renders it quite impossible to give anything like a lengthened detail. The peignoirs worn for morning in the country have a plastron formed of insertions of embroidery and narrow tucks, and are composed of nansook, trimmed with deep pointed em broidery and insertion of Valenciennes. Some ladies have their peignoirs of toile de Peru, or taffetas flambe, lined with gros de Naples. Casaques are still in favour ; they are of taffetas, trimmed with fringe, and worn over a s iirt of English emhroidered muslin. Evening dresses, for undress parties, are composed of white muslin, with three skirts trimmed with Mechlin lace ; of tarlatane trimmed with fringe ; or taffetas skirts may be worn with muslin bodies. Walking or riding dresses are high to the throat when made of taffetas. Printed muslin, lareges, and taffetas d'llalie skirts are worn with canezous of muslin, em broidered in small dots ; a taffetas shawl, edged round with stamped velvet and Chantilly lace, clear muslin scarf, or barge scar f with fringe, or an e'charpe-mantelet of taffetas, with a ruche a la vieille upon a ground of black tulle. Leghorn bonnet trimmed with plaid ribbon, embroidered with fruit and flowers, or fancy straw trimmed with ribbon and straw flowers. The glace's silks have given place to the taffetas gorge de pigeon, which is always beautiful for demi-toilette. Nothing can be prettier than a robe formed of one of these patterned taffetas, trimmed with four flounces, on the edges of which is sewn an amaranth or green velvet ; the body is flat, open en cceur allongi; chemisette a la chevaliere of muslin, in small tucks between insertions of embroidery. Open-worked straw bonnet, trimmed with small bunches of bows ; mancinis of violets and daisies. English green is still in fashion. A taffetas robe of this shade is distinguie. The number of flounces is left to the taste of the wearer : five or seven are mostly worn ; and usually in patterns of coloured wreaths, or bunches o f flowers in scollops. _China crape. shawl ; bonnet of r i ca straw, and bouillonnes of erape with Brussels lace fall; a cactus at one side completes this elegant toilette. Velvet being more than ever in vogue as trimming, we find it applied to mantilles, which increases their beauty and value. The stamped velvets are brought to great perfection, and harmonise well with all descriptions of embroideries ; flowers and foliage, en relief, are fastened on the groundwork with chain-stitch, and are beautiful ornaments both for robes and manteaux. Summer mantelets are small; many are made of em broidered muslin. Tarlatane scarfs are worn over coloured crepe lisse, with a wreath embroidered round the edges, and the ends trimmed with a deep fringe. These scarfs are very handsome, and beautifully light. Bareges will always be worn, as nothing can be found more useful for summer wear; but, in order to preserve the material from becoming too common, it is made in the most expensive patterns and colours. The flounces are in most beautiful designs, or the skirts ornamented with bands of the same description. A taffetas robe, in large lilac and white squares, with three deeply scolloped flounces, trimmed with a triple row of very narrow ribbon, gathered in the middle, forming three ruches of different shades of lilac. At the head of these flounces, which are cut on the bias, is a voluminous ruche of shaded ribbons. The body is plain and low, with short sleeves, accompanied by an embroidered muslin cane zou with basques,trim rued with lace, and ornamented in front and on the sleeves by bows of lilac ribbon. A white taffetas shawl, with deep fringe ,embroidered with a wreath of yellow and green corn, and bunches of May. White straw bon net. with a blonde crown, trimmed with white and coloured lilac : flowers to match on one side of the face, and rib bons on the other. The blonde which forms the crown and curtain is raised in the middle by a bow with long floating ends. The mantillas are very small, not descending waist, s t lowero lie fallst h a than n gracefullys h e r e waist, th e over v n e d r a r e shoulders. theskirt roundT They e :beawbr when n e dn trimmed, a m w t n e i el trimmed wt theeither etrl small ends in front, an d s l o p e d l ow roun d the neck, so as with deep lace or f r i nge , which, descending from the lace, a second row is placed rou n d th e t op, and, covering tke taffetas, } rips the bottom garniture. The form is simple and elegant. 111cnitillcs of tulle are trimmed with rows of lace, sepa rated by very narrow ruches of ribbon. A light and fan ciful as well as pretty manlille is made of tarlatane, trimmed with deep guipure, with a ruche of gaze-guipure ribbon fixed at the waist by a bow of gauze ribbon with long ends. This, worn over a pink or blue taffetas robe, has a most becoming appearance. Mantilles to match the robes are much worn in the country by quite young ladies; they are trimmed with flounces to match the skirt. In accordance with the season, the lightest tissues are being employed for robes; and novelties both in style and form are sought after, and constantly invented. The robe ala Cle - opa"tre is one of these novelties. It has a double skirt formed of tulle or tarlatane ; the body is a drape a l'autique, consequently low, with very small sleeves cc , •,J,ed of two eroise'es draperies fixed by an agree c; dowers and diamonds. A small wreath sur rounds the top. The under skirt, forming a train, is gathered all round. The waist is very foil ; the upp er skirt is still fuller, and forms a spiral over the lower ore. A progressive wreath is placed round the edge of the to skirt, terminating at the waist with a bouquet. ich rendered more expensilks are also employed for full-dress robes, and are ve by the prodigalilYof diamonds with which they are ornamented. The little chaperons a l'Eliyabeth are also much worn, and are equally orna mented with precious stones. Fancy straw is much used both for bonnets and trim mings. Rosettes of narrow pattern straw are mixed with ribbons both for outskie and inside ornaments of three ight and graceful bonnets. l'apotes are often composed of a mixture of straw and taffetas or tull e. Taffetas bonnets' are also worked with an embroidery of straw in wreaths or detached flowers. The curtains are half blonde and half taffetas,. embroidered with srraw. The flowers are white, mixed' with buds of satin straw, which have a very pretty effect. Some capotes are made with a taffetas crown and straw front, in bands of open and fiat pointed straw. A double row of blonde trims the inside. The curtain is of taffetas, blonde, and straw. A white feather tipped with straw ornaments is placed on the right side of the bonnet ; on the left is a bow of ribbon. The inside trimming is a mixture violet, crape, corn, and straw flowers. Young ladies' bonnets are mostly composed of white taffetas; the crowns are plaited en coquille, with a ruche of pinked taffetas across the head and the edge of the front, which is made of a stripe of taffetas and one of plaited crepe lisse; bunches of long ends of narrow white ribbon at each ear, and small flowers inside. Black lace bonnets continue to be worn, and are much trimmed with flowers and light-coloured fancy ribbons ; the crowns are iocse, and floating in the.fanchon style. GENERAL NEWS.

Wassess or AN AtTATRAbrAz . .V Bum- —The barque Barbara Gordon, Captain Lilly, was totally lost wikilo on her homeward voyage from .Port Adelaide (Australia) to London, with wool and copper ore. The annexed details are from a letter by Captain Lilly to the owners :—" have to acqua:nt you with the loss of your vessel, about 2e miles west of -Cape L'Agulhas, at midnight, on the sth May. We were, at noon, nearly 90 tniie.a from the land, with the wind at north-west, and standing to the north north-east. About 430 p.m, the land was reported by the chief officer, or, rather, what he fancied was the land. I went an deck immediately, and confess now I could not discernoutline enough to be assured that it was so, inas much asjt must ,have been more than - 70 miles distant. About,e o'clock, just after sunset, I saw it more distinctly, and still -kept on our course (though only under jury fore top, which had washed away some days before), being under very reduced sail and going at a very moderate pace. Shortly before midnight, a haze seemed to lift from the land, and shavred it ,plainty, and all the breakers ahead. I immediately gave orders to haul up the mainsail, put the helm up, and square the mainesard, to wear her off. She had paid so far off that I was squaring the head yards, when she struck heavily three or four times, and I suc ceeded in driving her over the reef to sea again ; but, alas ! found six feet of water in her hold, and the water rushing in fast. I stood out for half an hour, keeping her pumps going, wishing, if possible, to keep her afloat till daylight. I then stood in, and when she touched a second time there must have been eight feet of water in her. She then stuck fast, the wind coming ronnd with rain to the south-west. There was a tolerable sea and .surf running, but I felt that the ship would hold together ti!i the morn ing, and all hands, with passengers, went below. I:: launching our only boat on the following morning, owing to the violent lashing of the sea she parted and went ashore, with the second mate safe. One hand, however, was lost out of her. Raising my glass, and seeing no signs of assistance in the way of boats, 1 had a raft constructed to save the lives of my passengers and crew, and just as it was ready that also broke adrift and was dashed to pieces by the surf. The chief officer, Mr. Pitt, and a passenger overboard, reached it, and a seaman swam some distance and gained it, and all three landed safely, but sadly ex hausted. I then got another raft underweigh, and almost completed it the same evening. We remained on the wreck all night, with the stern entirely beaten in, and the sea flying over us as far forward as the foremast. By 10 o'clock the next morning our second raft was completed. After being on the wreck 30 hours, and before the passen gers could be lashed, it canted over in lowering, and one sea took three ladies off, with a gentleman and child, It was impossible to rescu e th em. I near l y lost my ()an life in endeavouring to sav e M rs. R edd i sh, a mos t ladylike and accomplished per son . All t h e passenge rs were drowned. We afterwa r d s got as h ore on t h e ra ft all the bodies, except that of M r s. D a l ston , w h o w as a sort of monthly nurse. Nothing could be saved of the ship. All the passengers were from Adelaide. Mr. and Mrs. Red dish and child were for Liverpool ; Mrs. Dalston, of Wandsworth ; Mrs. Hay, of Yorkshire and a seaman named Seymour belongin g to Bristol. • -.se
