LATEST NEWS. FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE MASSACRES IN SYRIA. The following statement on this subject is given 'by the Monde:—There are at this moment in Syria at least 18,000 Christians massacred. A thousand Christians died defending themselves, with arms in their hands. 75,000 have been driven out of their villages, forced to take refuge in the towns on the sea coast, or in the mountains, and reduced to live on alms. 10,000 children have been made orphans, and 6,000 women widows. (BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH ALLEGED DECLARATION OF WAR BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND SARDINIA The Independence Beige, of yesterday evening, says :—" Oar correspondence from Paris treats of the appibaching issue of the manifesto by the Emperor of Austria on the anniversary of the Imperial birthday, in which the Emperor will declare himself free from the engagements of Villafranca, adding some threatening words for . Piedmont." At Turin there is a report of an approaching declaration of war by Austria against Sardinia; arising out of the letter of, Garibaldi to the Ring, in which the Dictator of Sicily openly announces his intention of attacking Venice. Explanations on this head have been demanded of doimt Cavour, whose reply has 'been deemed unsatisfactory. FRANCE. Jules Favre, known from his opposition to the government, has been elected Batonnier Chief of the Barristers of Paris. The Constitutionnel refers to the opinion of Admiral Berkeley as to the great importance of 'coal, and declares that the introduction of steam, far from alarming England, rather tends to con solidate her maritime supremacy. THE FRENCH FUNDS. PARIS, August 13. 3.8 P.M.—The Bourse has been flat. Recites closed at 67f. 90c., or 15c. lower than Saturday. AUSTRIA. A Vienna letter in the Debats says, some uneasiness appears to be felt here oti the subject of the agitation which prevails among the enlightened classes of the Southern Tyrol. Many Persons have emigrated into Piedmont, abandon ing their landed property, which is consequently sequestrated for the benefit of the State. SALZBURG, Atm 12. The inauguration of the railway from Salzburg to Munich took place to-day. At the dinner given in honour of the event, the Emperor of Austria, in proposing the health of the King of Bavaria, said, the sentiments of unity, which as neighbours we bear towards each other, I apply to all German sovereigns. I cannot but joyfully direct my thoughts to the day on which I grasped the hands,of the Prince. Regent to strengthen the unanimity of independence which brought us together. The Emperor concluded thus :--The health of the King of Bavaria ; cheers for the brave people of Bavaria; long live the unity of the princes and peoples of Germany. The King of Bavaria, in acknowledging the toast, said — I hail with joy and full of hope the late friendly meeting of the rulers of Austria and Prussia. That meeting is a guarantee for German unity, for therein lies our power and strength. 'The health of the Emperor of Austria ; cheers for Austria's true and valiant sons ; cheers for the unity of the two German Great Powers. VIENNA, Aug..l3. The deliberations of the committee of twenty one members of the Reichspath will last at> least another week. It will, therefore, be impossible to promulgate the Constitutional reforms on the 1 8th instant, the anniversary of the Emperor's birthday. Archduke Rener and the majority of the Ministers are favourable to the proposals of the committee ; the promulgation of reforms is, therefore, merely a question of time. _ TRIESTE, August 13. In virtue of the protocol signed at Paris on the 3rd inst., Austria is about to augment her naval force in the Syrian waters by three ships of war. Daring the last few days extraordinary activity has been shown in the Austrian marine. All vessels fit for service, including the Kaiser, are being armed. The materiel of the ar sena l o f Venice is being transported to Polla. • An attack by Garibaldi is expected. SARDINIA. The Pays prominently reports a rumour that Count Cavovx will resign rather than accept M. Ratazzi for a colleague. A communication from Turin of the Bth, says, € l l , r , famnua society called filo Armed Nation has been reconstituted, Garibaldi being named President. TURIN, Aug. 12. The subscription to the new loan is closed. Three times the amount required has been sub scribed. Signor Manna has left for Paris. TURIN, Augast 13. The official Gazette, of Turin, publishes an account of the subscriptions to the new loan, according to which the total amount subscribed is 27,594,240 lire rentes. A circular, addressed by the Minister of the Interior to the governors and other functionaries, dated to-day, has been published. This circular is designed to repress illegal interference in the affairs of the State, and to prevent the under taking of hostile steps against neighbouring G overnments, as well as to punish the instigators Of desertion. The same circular announces the f ormation of a Corps of Volunteers to join the National Guard. NAPLES. NAPLES, Aug. 11. A report is current here that 1,500 Garibaldian Volunteers have landed in Calabria. PARIS, Aug. 13. The Paris papers of to-day publish a telegram, dated Naples, Aug. 11, evening, which asserts that on - Thursday night the Garibaldians attempted to land at Altifuime, near Reggio, and at Candri tello, but were repulsed by the royal troops. Two hundred only are said .to have succeeded in landing, and were pursued into the interior. The population of the whole kingdom is perfectly quiet. The Patrie mentions, under reserve, that letters from Turin assert that, in order to avoid the grave complications Which might result to Italy from the occupation of the kingdom of Naples by Garibaldi, there was a question of sending a Sar dininian corps d'arrnee to Naples, in virtue of a convention between the governments of Naples and Piedmont. • TURKEY. According to the Journal de Constantinopl e the Ottoman naval forces on the coast of Syria con sist of seven vessels of war, with an aggregate of 3 67 cannons. PRUSSIA• BERLIN, August 13. It is certain that Austria has abanaoned the i dea of having the possession of Venetia guaran teed by Germany. Nevertheless, at the interview 3t T ceplitz a perfect understanding was esta olt „ s h ,, u between Austria and Prussia relative to the basis of the principle of non-intervention in reference to the affairs of Italy. The.following will explain the nature of this understanding " There is no doubt that Garibaldi, aided by the Neapolitan fleet, which he hopes shortly to pos sess, intends - to attack Venice. Yet Austria feels strong enough to sustain a conflict alone, even against the whole of Italy. As long as the conflict is only between Austria and Italy, Prussia will observe the principle of non inter vention; but if other Powers interfere, and thus violate that principle, Germany would not hesi tate to support Austria in the maintainenco of the rights guaranteed to her by treaties." THE PRINCIPALITIES. PARIS, August-13 According to a telegram from the GovernMent ofDalmatia,Prince Daniels was seriously wounded yesterday evening, at Cattaro, by a Montenegrin .refugee named Kudie, who fired a pistol at the Prince as he was going on board of a vessel to return to Persagno. The assassin haS been . arrested, and the P r i nce i s un d er medical care at Cattaro. ZARA, August 12, The attempt on the life of Prince Daniels took place while on his way from Cattsuo to Pezagno. The wound is very serious, but it is not yet known whether mortal. He was fired at at two paces, the ball passing through the lower part of his body. AMERICA. COPY OF TELEGRAM RECEIVED BY D. AND C. MACIVER, FROM QUEENSTOWN. 13th August, 1860.

The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday := MEMORIAL TO THE LATE MR. ROBERT STEPHENSON. A meeting took place recently, at Westminster, to take into consideration the most appropriate mode of testifying, in a public manner, the general respect for his memory. INDIA. The Overland Mail brings advices from Cal cutta to July 5, and Madras to July 11. Great 'opposition had been made to a bill introduced by Government for the renewal of the Disarming Act of 1857. The Indigo Commission had finislied their labours. , At Lahore the strike among the shawl weavers of Cashmere still continued, and in consequence considerable numbers of men were out of employ ment, and wandering about the country. There did not appear any probability of an immediate termination of the dispute. COMMERCIAL. CALCTTTA, July s.—The produce market, with the' exception of raw silk, continues without any aninfation. The import market is unchanged. In freights a considerable buiiness is doing for Australia, West Indies, Mauritius, &c. ' •Ships are arriving in considerable numbers, but thorn is still a want of goods to ship, and the markets continue without transactions. • CHINA. The political 'news of importance' has already been anticipated by telegraph. COMMERCIAL. HONG KONG, June 23.—A considerable amount of business has been transacted, but it has been of a very unsatisfactory nature. The large arrivals have increased the stocks of Yarns and Piece Goods to an extent almost unequalled in the history of the colony. Tonnage has seen its culminating point for the present, and Govern ment wants are supplied. Rice charters are not to be obtained, and the demand for the Sugar freight for the time has ceased. SHANGHAE, June 16.—0 f trade there is none. Market reports forbear giving quotations, except for very few articles of import. SHIPPING. Tonnage is in demand at increasing rates. The aestre to escape from the scene of anarchy evinced by the Chinese extends to the very highest classes, who are eager charterers of vessels to , convey them to the South, others are fleeing northwards, and another class are content to hire vessels by the day to remain at anchor in the river. The Antagonist has arrived from China, with 503,600 lbs. of tea. The stoppage is announced of Mr. Dickens, currier, of Southwark. His liabilities are pro bably very limited. Letters from Toulon' and Marseilles make it appear that not less than 1.1,000 or 12,000 French troops were leaving for Syria. A report, current for the last day or two in Paris, seems to gather credit to the effect that when Garibaldi lands in the Kingdom of Naples, Lamoriciere also will cross the frontier. The suspension is announced of Mr. John Dales, a merchant and woollen manufacturer, with lia bilities said to be rather heavy. The case has. been taken into the Bankruptcy Court. It is expected that her Majesty will not remain at Balmoral longer than a month, and will then cross to Hamburg in the Royal yacht, and pro ceed to Coburg, where it is expected the meeting between the Princess Royal and her Majesty will take place. The Rev. Mr. Goldie, a Calabar missionary is at present in Liverpool, making arrangements for printing the New Testament in the Ethck tongue. We regret to announce the death of Mr. May, the eminent engineer, of Great George-street, Westminster, who died on Saturday, after only one day's illness..

EFFECTS OF EARLY CLOSING.—When shop assist ants had no liberty it was but natural that, if they could escape for a short period from the exactions of business, their ardent spirits should overflow and drive them into excesses ; but now they have more leisure, they have undergone a marvellous change, indecorum being now exceptional, and their general character and bearing that of moral, responsible beings, as little to be censured as that of any other class.

HOUSE OF LOEDS.-YESTERDAY. The royal assent was given by commission to various bills, The Earl of STIRLWSBURY, in moving for copiesolcorrespon aence between captains on the reserve list and the Boatd of Admiralty, contended that these captains were entitled to share in the increased allo grances now giv'en by regulation to captains retiring after sixty years of age. Lord CIIELMSTORb seconded the motion, further advocating . - the claims of these captains. • The Doke bf FO3IE3SET said that, in the course he was adopting, he was simply following the precedents of former Ebards of Admiralty. After s.ome remarks from Lord Dungannon and the Earl of Dysart, the motion was agreed to. Earl Gus.NTILLE, after making the usual motion of inquiry, moved the second reading of the Refreshment Houses and Wine Licenses (Ireland) Bill. Lord bENIAN moved, as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day six months. After some discussion and a division, the second reading was carried by 27. to 5.. The Census (Scotland)* Bill, and the Corrupt Practices Pre vention Act (1857) Continuation Bill, were read a third time and passed. The Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill, the Chancery Evidence Com• mission Bill, the European Forces (India) Bill, the Poor-law Continuance Bill, and the East i india Stock Transfer Bill, passed through committee. The Duke of ARGYLE moved the sitspension of the standing order, under the plea of ttrizeney, with the view of reading the Savings Bank and Friendly ,Societies Bill a second time. Lord MoNTEAGLE opposed the motion, denying that the measure was urgent, and contending that it referred to a sub ject on which further inquiry was necessary. On a division the numbers were equal, being 18 on each side. In puisuance of custom, accordingly the question pass^d in ,he negative, and the bill was consequently lost. Their lordships then adjourned, at nine o'clock, HOl/SE O 1 COMMONS.—YESTERDAY. The speaker took his chair at four o'clock. Mr. Macdonagh took the oaths, and his seat for Sligo. The house, barely consisting of forty members, went into committee on the East India Loan. Sir C. Wool) rose to bring forward the Indian Budget. Since 'the last budget, he observed, the finance of India had been materielly affected by the mission of Mr. Wilson, and the measure which had b On adopted in consequence. observed that his former calculations, though erroneous, left the deficit very nearly as he had calculated it, both income and expenditure having exceeded his calculations. In 1860 the deficit including guarantee to railroads, amounted in round numbers to £9,000,000. For 1861 the expenditure was £45,958,000 ; aid the income £37,762,000, leavings deficit of £6,196,000, to Which he added £1,276,000 on account of the guarantee to railroads, making the total deficit £7,472,000. It was urged by some that this deficit might be reduced by a reduction of the military expenditure, Now, for the last year the military expenditure was £15,276,000. In order to reduce that to meet the deficit, the military expenditure must be fixed at £8,000,000, or £3,000,000 below what it WaS the year before the mutiny. No one could be sanguine enough to expect such a result ; still, some reduetion, no doubt, could be made. In the two last years a reduction of £6,000,000 had been made, and he was not sanguine enough to expect a redUction at a greater rate. All the best authorities objected to sudden re ductions, which might throw large numbers of men Out of the ranks. He adverted in detail to the increase In the several civil departments, explaining their nature, and showing that in most of the departments no national reduction could be ex pected. The case stood for 1861-2 thus :—Since 1857 the in crease in the military and police charges had been £6,478,000; in the civil charges, £1,725,000; in the interest of debt, £1,935,000, and in the knarantced interest, £871.00) ; making a total increase of rather more than £11,000,000. In the last four of these departments no- reduction could fairly be anticipated. For the increase of revenue he took on the best calculations of the year 1861:2 at £4,420,000, leaving a deficit of £6,611,000. Next came the question how they were to meet the deficit. For borrowing there existed the objection, first of expenses, and then many others. If, therefore, they could neither borrow nor diminish their expenditnre, nothing was left but increased taxation. He proceeded to detail the pro ceedings of Mr. Wilson since kis arrival in India, and con tended that no other course could have been taken than that adopted by that financier, and that the risks were as nething in comparison to the evident advantages. lid denied that the principle of the taxation proposed by Sir. Wilson was new to India, declaring that in some form or other direct taxation had always formed the basis of Indian finance. The government of India had, without a dissenting voice, ultimately agreed to the propositions of Mr. Wilson. He proceeded to defend those of the propositions which hail been most assailed. No alterna tive remained but to give their best support to the government of India, who, after all, were the best judges. With regard to the produce of the taxes of Mr. Wilson, it was estimated that during the present year only a million would be raised. For the year`lBBl-2; produce of £3,500,000 was anticipated. This deducted from the deficit above quoted, would still leave a final deficit of £3,111,000. This deficit, ho thought, might be met by a reduction of the niilitary expenditures, so that by next year, an equality plight be established between income and expenditure. Por the present exigencies, he proposed to place a general resolution in the hands of the chairman, and in the bill he should found on that resolution, he should propose a sum not exceeding £ 3 ,000,000 as that which the House might authorise him 'to *row. lie entered into the sources of proaperty to India, which might hereafter be developed, and explained the result of the measure already adopted. The reporeof the commissioners in Oude and other parts of the Peninsula were highly satisfactory, and would, he trusted, end in attaching the. landed gentry to the British rule as.well as the masses, who had always shown themselves contented with it. Mr. DARBY SEymotat said that he never heard a loss satis factory statement than that just made by the Secretary for Ingle.' He contended that the deficit for next year, even according to Mr. Wilson's calculations, was most alarming. He inveighed against the extravaganie of the , Minister, who had not done his utmost to reduce the ruinous expenditure of the Indian service, objecting in detail to the reckless waste in all departments. Sir C. Wood had done infinitely less during sixteen months of office titan had been done by Lord Stanley and Sir C. Trevelyan in twelve. Adverting to the plans of Mr. Wilson, he admitted them to be right in principle, but the cenditet of that functionary, like that of the Government, was marked by blameable extravagance. Mr. W. EWART, approving generally of the proceedings of the Government, Made various suggestions of detail for the better government 'of India. "After some remarks from Mr. Gregson, Sir 11. WitLoronny complained of the, errors in the Indian accounts, and the iinperfect way in which they were kept. He considered that the expense of the Indian army had been u nderstated; that, taking it as assumed, the deficiency would be one with which it would be most difficult to deal. The P o sition, therefore, of Indian finance was a most serious one, as he felt the' peril of the,experiment they were about to try Might, if mismanaged, lead to the most disastrous cease quenees. RoLaucx complained that the compensation granted by the I ndian government for losses during the mutiny was insuf ficient in amount, and unfairly apportioned among the sufferers. Sir DE LACY EVANS insisted that as India was tranquillised, and Otule especially completely subdued, the maintenance of so large an army, both European and native, as was proposed by the government, had become wholly unnecessary. Further comments upon the various questions suggested in Sir C. Wood's speech were offered by Mr. Vansittart and Mr. Crawford. Mr. T. G. BA replied to the objections that had been urged during the debate, adverting especially to the criticism of Mr. D. Seymour. Mr. AYRTON thought that the Government had treated the House unfairly in bringing forward a scheme involving a loan of some millions at so late a period of the session as to render any full discussion impossible. With one annoucement he expressed his unqualified satisfaction, namely, that some recog nition war,- at length to be accorded to the position of the native landed aristocracy in India. After some remarks from Mr. Hadfield, Mr. Kinnaird, Mr Lygon, and Major Parker. Sir C. Wood made a brief explanatory reply, and the resolu tion was agreed to. The Fortifications (Provisions for Expenses) Bill having passed through committee, Sir F. Smiyix, on the schedule being moved, contended that the proposed fortifications at Portsdoavn was unnecessary, and ought to be disallowed accordingly. He moved that the sum to be spent should be reduced to £200,000. In the course of the ensuing discussion, Mr. S. HERBEkT stated arguments, which he supported by the citation of many professional authorities in favour of carry ing out the scheme of the Defence Commissioners in its entirety. On a division, the amendment was negatived by 79 to 28. The schedule was then agreed to as originally proposed. The House having resumed, the resolution granting £60,000 for the Galway Packet Contract was reported from the Com mittee of Supply, and agreed to. The Consolidated Fund (L 1.0,000,000) Bill was passed through committee, as was the Stamp Duties (No. 2) Bill. The Defence of the Realm Bill was read a second time. The Spirits Bill was read a third time and passed. The Spirit Duties Bill was passed through committee. On the motion for going into committee on the Peace Pre servation (Ireland) Act 1836 Amendment Bill, Mr. BLAKE moved an amendment to defer the committee on the bill for three months. On a division, the amendment was negatived by 71 t o 1 3. The bill then passed through committee. The other orders of the day were then dispos , d of, an 3 the House adjourned at half-past two. DEATH OF MAJOR•GLNERAL lIASSELL R. 1‘1 0 ,,. The demise of the above general officer, formerly in the Royal Artillery, took place at his residence, near Farn ham. The deceased general served in the Peninsular war. AMERICAN SYMPATHY WITH GARIBALDI. — At a sym pathy meeting with the cause of the Italian patriots, held in Cincinnatti, the following amongst other resolu tions were passed :—"R eso l ve d, Th a t in this final battle of the people against the King, we will furnish material aid until a standard as re;plendant as the stars and stripes displaces every royal ensign in Europe and America." " Resolved, That these resolutions be printed in the city papers, and that a copy be sent to Garibaldi by the officers of this meeting, with the request that they may be read at the head of his troops." The resolutions were loudly applauded. BLONDIN'S WALK.—Judging from the small number of persons who assembled at Suspension Bridge to see Blondin walk across the Niagara River on a rope, the interest in the little foreigner is a good deal abated. Not over 2,000 persons witnessed his feats. About a quarter past four he left the United States side of the river, dressed in the usual tights of an acrobat, and crossed the rope in nine min utes, having during that time made several sumersaults, and divers wonderful gyrations, and rested three or four times to have photographs of him taken. After remain ing for about an hour on the Canada side he prepared to recross, and performed the wonderful feat he had an nounced—walking blindfolded, and enveloped in a sack. H e was not quite enveloped however, for the sack did not reach far below his loins, thOugh covering his lead completely, it took him thirteen minutes to recross. Among other things he stood upon his head, while in this state of obscuration, and walked backwards. He reached the United States bank at five minutes past five. To those who had seen the active little Frenchman walk the rope before, and carry a man on his back—an oper ation which we certainly have no desire to see repeated —the performance was not of any particular interest ; to others it was a matter of considerable inter est as was testified in the repeated cheers with which each successive feat was greeted. His next crossing will take place on the 4th of July, when no doubt, a vaat throng will assemble to tee him walk.—Hamilton Slec tator. LANCASHIRE ASSIZES CROWN COURT:—YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. BARON MARTIN.) Baron *Martin took his seat on the bench in this Court precisely at ten o'clock, and proceeded with the trial of the following prisoners : THE CHILIAN AFFAIR. • _ William Leslie, the captain of the Louisa Bragantian, the vessel which brought to this country the three gentlemen who had rendered themselves somewhat obnoxious to the Chilien Government, was called upon to receive the sentence of the Court, in compliance with an order from the Court of Queen's Bench, where the legal point raised in the trial at a recent assizes, had been argued and decided that the prisoner, who, of course,. had been admitted out on bail, had been guilty of an assault and falsely imprisoning those three gentle men.—Mr. Aspinall said, on the part of the prosecution, the gentlemen who had been imprisoned had no vindic tive feeling towards the captain, of which he had given ample proof by not taking proceedings against him in a Civil Court. The Court of .Criminal Appeal had, however, decided that the captain had been guilty of an illegal act in bringing his clients to this country, and receiving £4OO for so doing. There was no doubt that captain was not aware that he was doing an illegal act, but still they did not think that he should be allowed to make any profit out of the transaction.-=His Lordship said the object of the criminal law was to punish persons who knowingly committed crimes. In this case there was a dotibt Whether the captain was aware that he committed a crime when he deported the Chilian gen tlemen in his vessel ; but as the Court of Criminal Appeal had decided that he had acted illegally, he hoped that captains would now be aware that if they ever again acted as the prisoner had done, they would render them selves liable to punishment. In this case he thought that justice would be satisfied with the infliction of a fine of ls.—Capt.ain Leslie then thanked his lordship and paid the money, and observed that he had been punished, as he had lost the command of his vessel, and been out of a situation for three months.—The captain was then discharged. CHARGE OF MURDER IN LIVERPOOL. James Halloran (17), and Phillip Mack alias Mac manamon, stood indicted with having on the 2nd of May caused the death of a lad named Patrick Gibbon. Mr. Aspinall appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Deighton defended ,the prisoners. The facts of this ease have already been published in the .Daily Times. They were briefly as follows the night in ques tion, the - deceased was passing along Christian-street in company with another shoe black, when they were met by the two prisoners and another peeson not in custody. An •altercation took place and was followed by a fight, when the 'accused getting the worst of it ran into the house and armed themselves with a poker and sling shot, at the same time saying they were going to " serve out a chap in the street," and they then ran across the street, and Halloran struck the deceased on the head with a poker, the other with the sling shot, and the third dashed his head on the pavement until he was insensible, in which state he was found, and then con veyed home, bat he never recovered, and died on the Saturday morning. The two prisoners were taken into custody, but previously they had been heard to admit that they were in the row, and one of them had said, it served the deceased right, as he had a right to keep in his own street, and as he had not done so, they had given hint that Which he would t wolfed for months.. For the prisoners it Was urged, that if the evidence adduced was to be relied upon, it did not amount to the crime of murder, because no motive had been - shown that the prisoners maliciously killed the deceased. His lordship having defined the law as between murder and manslaughter, proceeded to recapitulate the evidence to the jury, and left it for them to say which offence, if either, the pri soners hid committed. After a short consultation the jury acquitted the prisoners of the charge of murder, but foind them guilty of Manslaughter. His lordship; in passing sentence, observed, that the jury had taken a Merciful view of the prisoners' case, but he would tell them that it came the nearest to murder. He did not believe that at the time they intended to kill the lad ; but for such an offence they must be severely punished. They had no" business 'to have such weapons as sling shots, nor to be strolling about the streets at night. If the jury had found them guilty of murder, it would have been his duty to have passed the sentence of death upon them ; as it was, however, it, must be that of next to death. His lordship then sentenced them to be kept in penal servitude for life. BURGLARY AT MANCHESTER. George Green, 31, stood indicted With having, on the sth of May, burglariously entered the dwelling-house of Mr. James Roberts, publican, Besvvicks-row, Man chester. On the night of the robbery, the policeman on duty heard a fall of some glass, and upon going to the prosecutor's house he met. the prisoner attempting to make his escape therefrom, having, after the premises had- been secured, gained access thereto by breaking open a skylight. The property was found upon him. Guilty ; sentence deferred. ASSAULT UPON A POLICEMAN. James Tasker, 23, was charged with assaulting with intent, Joseph Hall, a policeman, "on the 15th of June last. In this case the prosecutor was a police-constable belonging to the county force ; and, on the gay in ques tion, was on duty in private clothes on the Race Course. While there he saw a great disturbance in Booth No. 7, kept by Mr. Shaw on the Race Course ; and, upon going there for the purpose of quel ling • the disturbance, he saw the prisoner with a' large carving-knife, and who said "if anybody touches me I. will cut their --- throat." The police man followed him, when the prisoner made a stab at his throat, and immediately after cried out, ." Oh, for give me, forgive me ; lam sorry for it."- He was then taken into custody, but all in the booth were shouting out " take the knife from him," but all seemed afraid to do it. When the knife was taken from him' the people fell upon him, and beat and kicked the prisoner. The surgeon called in to attend the prosecutor described the would in the throat as a very dangerous incised wound.---For the prisoner it vas submitted that he had been attacked, and had taken up the knife to defend himself ; therefore, there was an end to the serious charge with which he was accused. Witness were called in support of that view. Several witnesses were called to give evidence as to the prisoner s previous character, and the jury returned a verdict of "Not Guilty." —The prisoner was then discharged. THE VAUXHALL-ROAD POISONING CASE. The Grand Jiiry, yesterday, returned a true bill against Thomas Winslow, for the wilful murder of M rs. James, by administering to her a large portion of anti mony. Before the rising of the Court last evening, application was made by the Attorney-General for the County Palatine, Mr. Bliss, with whom is Mr. A sp i nall for the prosecution, to have a special day fixed for the bearing of this case, to accommodate the persons giving scientific evidence, and his lordship said he would take it the last of the cases in the calendar. BURGLARY AT BRADFORD, William Williams, aged 21, and John Davies, aged 16, stood indicted with having, on the 28th of June last, entered the dwelling-house of John Smith, and stolen a pair of stockings. The prisoners were caught in the house, having entered by the window, with the property in their possession. Mr. Pope prosecuted ; the prisoners were undefended by counsel. Guilty, a former conviction having been proved against the prisoners. Sentence deferred. FELONY AT BEDFORD. John Burke, 16, stood charged with entering the dwelling-house of Martin Kelly, and stealing therefrom a coat. The coat was stolen from the house of the pro secutor on the afternoon of the Bth of July, and on the following day the prisoner pawned the coat at Leigh, - a, short distance off. Guilty. Sentence deferred. In this case the jury found the prisoner guilty on the facts, but his lordship said that he bad some doubts whether he was not entitled to an acquittal, as to constitute the offence with which he had been committed it was neces sary that the goods taken should be so taken as actually to deprive the owner of them. In this case the goods had only been pawned, so that he only had a lien upon them, but he would look into the case and see thatlhe prisoner had justice done him; if he was entitled to an acquittal on that point, he should have it. BREAKING OUT OF A HOUSE AT BURY, Daniel M'lntyre, 29, stood charged with stealing upwards 0f.A207 from the house of George Cuttle, of Bury, on the 25th of March last. The prisoner and the prosecutor, a lad named Ashton, both lodged together on the night of the robbery, in the same bed. The following morning the prisoner had absconded, and took with him all the money he could secure from his com panion. The case ,Was clearly proved, and the prisoner was found guilty. Sentenced deferred. The court soon after adjourned until nine o'clock this morning, NISI PRIUS COURT.—YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. Baron WILDS.) ILLEGAL DISTRAINT.—FELL v. SkIENIVELL.— In this case Mr. James, Q.C., and Mr. Leresche appeared for the plaintiff, James Fell, and Mr. Monk, Q.C., and Mr. Ovens, 'appeared for the defendant. The action was brought.to recover the sum of £52 10s., the value of a great quantity of goods and .fixtures which the defendant had seized and sold under an execution. It appears that a man of the name of Schofield was about to enter a small house in Manchester; but previous to his entrance, he had to find £65. The plaintiff in this action advanced him that sum, with other monies amounting altogether to £2OO, In return for this money Samuel Schofield gave the plaintiff a bill of sale to the extent of £2OO. The defendant was the landlord of this house, and the previous tenant was a brother of his; defendant accepted plaintiff as tenant, but the previous tenant (defendant's brother) had left one quarter's rent unpaid, and for this the execution was put in. It was contended on behalf of the defendant that the plaintiff was not his tenant, but a tenant of .the previous tenant, and consequently liable for the previous tenant's rent. The evidence for the plaintiff was too strong to favour such a euppoition, and the jury at no ( mi d a yeKdict bAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, ATTaITST 14, 'lB6O. for the plaintiff, deducting from the £52 10s., £l2, the money already banded over. COMPENSATION FOR BODILY INIURY.—CALVERT V. ROBINSON.—This action was brought by the plaintiff who is a little boy 13 years of age, to recover from the defendant, a timber merchant in Rochdale, compensa tion for a compound fracture of the arm, which he had sustained through the alleged carelessness of the defen dant. 4r. Melluish and another learned counsel were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Edward James, Q.C., conducted the case for the defendant. About two years ago the plaintiff was employed to sand and clean the boards in the defendant's yard. He left the defendant's service and re-entered it in the month of September last. Since he has been there this lest time his work has been of a very. dangerous character, such as (the plaintiff says) he has been quite incompetent to perform. On the 9th of December one of the main driving straps broke, and the plaintiff by order of the per Son who had charge of the machine got hold of the strap and was suddenly carried over the pulley. The result was that he sustained a compound fracture of the right arm, and was under medical attendance for upwards of fourteen weeks. The case did not go to the jury, as the parties agreed to with draw a juror and settle the case. ILLEGAL DISTRAINT. lIERNAMAN AND OTHERS (ASSIGNEES) v. WILSON.-Mr. Manesty, Q.C., and Mr. Leresche appeared for the plaintiff in this case, and Mr. Monk, Q.C., and Mr. Higgins for the defendant. The action was brought to recover from the defendant, who is a mill owner near Stockport, the value of a quantity 'of machinery, and other property, which was seized by him for rent. In the year 1858 the defendant let one of the rooms of his warehouse to a man named Haslam (since bankrupt), of whom the plaintiffs in this action are the assignees. In this particular room (No. 3) the rent was to be charged at the rate of 2s. 6d. for each spindle in the room. Sometime after this room was let, the one immediately above it (No. 4) and also Nos. 5 and 6 were separately let to the plaintiff. On the 20th of April, 1859, the rent of the first-taken room began to get into arrears, and the defendant (Mr. Wilson) distrained not only upon the goods in the room for which the rent was owing, but upon the goods in room No. 6. From the latter room goods were seized to the amount of £lO2 2s. 7d. The whole rent due was £162 13s. 4d., but the plaintiff contended that inasmuch as the rooms were separate lettings, and ai separate rents, the defendant hnd no right to distrait; for one room's rent, the property im another room. The defendant said the rooms were not separate let tings; but at the letting of the first room on the Ist of Sanitary, 1858, there was an understanding between the 'Artie& that the bankrupt ilaslam was to become at once the tenant of all the rooms, and was to corn mence paying rent for the other rooms as soon as he placed in them his twining machines. A great number of minor points were raised in the course of the case. which was of an uninteresting nature. The jury found a verdict for the defendant. The court adjourned at six o'clock. CAUSE LIST FOR THE ASSIZES. The following is the Cause List for the Lancashire Summer Assizes for the southern division of the county, opened at Liverpool, on Wednesday, the Bth day of August, 1860, before the Hon.

The balloon ascent did not take place last evening, as advertised, at this popular place of amusement. We have received the following explanation from Mr. Coxwell, the aeronaut TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. SIR,—As there are various and conflicting rumours as to the cause of my balloon not ascending yesterday, from the Zoological Gardens, I beg to furnish you with a plain statement of the facts whieh occasioned the disappointment. On Thursday last I ascended from Alnwick, and immediately after my descent I accompanied the balloon to the station, and stated that I had an engagement at Liverpool on Monday, the 13th, and begged to know whether it would be desirable to convey the balloon by passenger or by goods train, in order to arrive in time. I was assured that goods delivered before Friday morn- ing would arrive on Saturday evening, consequently I left the balloon with that specific understanding. On Monday morning, in company with the anxious directors of the Gardens, diligent search Was made at the different stations, but no tidings could be gathered about it. We immediately telegraphed to the respective stations, including the place of departure, and the sub joined replies will, I trust, exonerate both the Gardens Company and the aeronaut from blame. The Electric and International Telegraph Company.-- The following message forwarded from Alnwick station, and received at Liverpool Station, August 13, 1850: " From Station Master, Alnwick, to Henry Coxwell, Telegraph Office, Liver pool. Balloon left here Friday evening for Newcastle, thence it was•forwarded this morning in truck E.L. 1976." Lahear , hlre and Yorkshire Railway Telegraph Message.—: "Great Howard-street Station, August 13, 1860. From Elliott Nortbanton, to Cullen, Great Howard•street. Donaldson, Newcastle, says Coxwell's balloon sent this morning, E. L. 1976." These explanations, it may fairly be presumed, will clearly show that gross neglect or fearfully slow travel ling is to be traced to the railway, thus upsetting the business calculations of the garden directors and of myself, who have vied with each ether to keep faith with the public.—Yours, August 13. HENRY COXWELL, Aeronaut. The ascent of the balloon will positively take place this evening. Of the twenty-five barons who were appointed to enforce the observance of the Magna Charta, says Sir Bernard Burke's second series of " Vicissitudes of Families," there is not now in the House of Peers a single male descendant. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.—It is 110 W under stood that the prorogation of Parliament will take place on Saturday, the 25th, or Monday the 27th instant. According to law, the session cannot terminate until ten days after the Appropriation Bill is introduced, and that bill cannot make its appearance until after all the sup plies have been voted. STRANGE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—OR the arrival of a cattle train on Friday night last from the Dumfries show, groans were heard to proceed from one of the carriages, and on opening the door an, unfortunate man was found with a heavy cow lying upon him. It appears that the man who had charge of the animal, from the Dumfries to the Alnwick show, lay down soon after leaving the former place, and *ll asleep, from which he was suddenly awoke by finding the cow lying down upon him, and no effort he could make would raise the animal. As soon as he could be extricated, some restoratives were administered, and he was removed to the infirmary, as it was found he was very severely injured, several 9f his ribs being br9lieu, LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY Elizabeth Jones, a servant in the public-house of Mr. Ashton, corner of Hanover and Paradise-street, was charged for having stolen two skirts, a bottle of rum, and one of gin. Mr. Cobb prosecuted, and Mr. Bluck defended. It appeared that about six weeks ago, the prisoner went to live with the prosecutor, and on Sunday week the articles named were missed, and the prisoner was suspected, and one of the skirts was found upon her. The prosecutor, in reply to Mr. Bluek, said he got an excellent character with the prisoner. A boy and a girl were produced to sustain the case ; and the former admitted to Mr. Bluck that he gave her the rum and gin, as she promised to pay for it. The girl said she gave the prisoner one of the skirts to fix it, but denied that she gave that which was found on the prisoner. Mr. Bluck characterised the case as paltry, and contended that there was no charge of felony made out. Mr. Raffles sa d the girl's conduct was improper, but agreed with Mr. Bluck that the evidence did not support the charge of felony, and discharged the prisoner. GA ROTTING IN GLOUCESTER-STREET. George Nash, a young gentleman, living at 2, Daulby-street, charged a person named John Green for having (with others not in custody) garotted and robbed him of his watch, worth £5, and some money, in Gloucester-street, on Saturday night. After one o'clock on Sunday morning the prosecutor was going home through Gloucester-street, when he was attacked by four men, two of whom caught him by the throat, and two by the hands, and nearly strangled him. They took his watch and money, but he grasped the prisoner by the throat and held him until the police came up. Mr. Bluck defended the prisoner, but was not able to shake the evidence. There was a sum of money corresponding with the amount taken from the prosecutor found ou the' prisoner. Mr. Block tried to show that the prisoner went to.assist the young man, but the latter denied that, and said he never let the prisoner go from the time the prisoner seized him until the police came. Part of the evidence of the young alai was sustained by two or three witnesses, and one of them swore positively that he saw the prisoner attack the young man, and saw the latter catch and ' " • hold him until the police came up. The prisoner was re manded until to-day, for certain reasons. (Before Messrs. BENN, BOOTH, and T. RA.TnnoNE.) THE SUPPER ROOMS, LIME-STREET. William Gilmore, described as "a gentleman," was sum moned by an "unfortunate," named Mary Jones, for having assaulted her in Allen's supper rooms, Lime-street, on Satur day night week. Mr. Muck was for the complainant. It appeared that on the night in question the parties met in Allen's supper rooms, Lime-street, and in consequence of some difference that took place she said the defendant struck her on the shoulder and knocked her against the wall, cutting the skin off her face and injuring her considerably. The defence was a denial of the assault, and that Mr. Gilmore only inter fered to prevent her striking a friend who was with hint at the time. The prosecutrix admitted that the defendant and his friend got leeches for her face, sent her home in a cab, and did all they could for her after the transaction. Mr. Gilmore disclaimed the charge, and said he never laid his hand on a female except in joke. He was fined 10s., which he paid. OVERLOADING AN OMNIBUS. William M'Knight, the driver of Mr. Busby's Brock-road omnibus, was summoned for overloading the vehicle. The 'bus was licensed to carry only eighteen outside passengers, but the complainant counted twenty-one, which was an offence against the act. The defendant was fined 255. and costs. FIRE ON SuinnoAnn.—On Sunday morning, between eleven and twelve o'clock, a fire was discovered in the cabin of the steamer Iron Duke, lying in the Clarence Dock. The damage sustained was comparatively trifling. The Iron Duke is one.of the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company's fleet, and had only arrived from Dublin a few hours previously. REPAIR YOUR FENCES.--It appeafs that a number of gardens have lately been broken into in the neighbour hood of Birkenhead, and the fruit trees have suffered considerably in consequence. Mr. Widburn, of Tran mere, and Dr. Dixon, have on several occasions com plained of these intrusions to the police, who captured a lad in Mr. Widburn's garden on Sunday night. We perceive from the Gazette that Mr. F. W. Promoli, jeweller, Church-street, of this town, has been gazetted as Lieutenant of the 45th Lancashire Rifles. " War-office, Pall-mall, August 10, 1860. 45th Lan cashire Rifles, Eneign T. Henry Bowea to be Captain. Frederick William Promoli to be Lieutenant, vice Bowen promoted." BIRKENHEAD POLICE COURT.—At this court yester day, a printer named John Jennings, was charged with having stolen jewellery to the amount of £350 from the dwelling-house of William Bennett, of Blackwell, in 1 857. Remanded until this day. Thomas Moons, labourer, was bound over in £lO to appear when called upon, touching a charge of picking the pocket of William Elliott of 35., on Saturday night. LIVERPOOL DISPENSARIES.—New cases received advice and medicine at the institution : North, 249 ; South, 125 ; total, 374. New cases visited at their own houses and supplied with medicine : North, 73 ; South, 60 ; total, 138. Rev. Rector Campbell, A.M., Pre sident; Captain Bourne, Vice-President. of North Dispensary; Mr. R. A. PaynO, Vice-President of South Dispensary ; Mr. Francis Mill, Treasurer ; Mr. F. H. Langley, Secretary. A bale of cotton, ex Richard 111., from Charleston, was discovered on fire yesterday morning in the ware house, it is supposed from spontaneous combustion, as the bale burnt was saturated with oil. On examining the cotton still undischarged from the Richard 111., two bales were found on which sweet oil had apparently been spilt; and several strands of rope, which had im bibed sweet oil, were discovered loose among the bales, which appeared to have been used by stevedores in Charleston to clean the screws, and thrown carelessly amongst the cargo. MARKETS COMMITTEE.—The weekly meeting of this committee was held yesterday, Mr. Alderman Woodruff presiding. The other members present were, Messrs. Haydock, Ridley, Kitchen, Houghton, Johnson, Rogers, and Shimmin. From the report of the Superintendent. it appeared that during the week ending the 11th inst. 301bs. of meat had been seized in the north district, 1671b5. in the central, and 1,796 lbs. of fish in the town. The revenue for the present year up to the end of last week amounted to £13,935 11s. ld., the expenses during the same period being £2,061 10s. The amount received during the same period of last year amounted to £12,928 3s. 60. the expenses being £2,017 Is. Od. The business beyond the above was unimportant. WATER COMMITTEE.—At the weekly meeting of tbis committee held yesterday, the members present were Messrs. Wagstaff, Vernon, Beloe, Rae, Bennett, Wood ruff, Crellin, and Estill. The engineer's report showed that the rise or fall of water in the various reservoirs was as follows : Roddlesworth, rise Oft. Tin. ; Rake, 4tt. Tin. ; Auglezark, rise 6in. ; Rivington, rise Bin. ; Pres cot (No. 1), rise lft. 4in. ; Do. (No. 2), fall stin. The quantity of water received from Rivington daring the week ending the 11th instant, was 68,935,656 gallons, and from the wells 29,189,091 gallons, the proportion of Rivington to well water being as 68 to 29. Some remarks were made by one of the members respecting the fire at the Stanley warehouses, but the committee considering that, as the committee of enquiry was engaged in the investigation, the subject should not be discussed. The only matter worthy of notice trans piring.being the opinion expressed by the engineer that an' additional number of turncocks ought to be employed. This was the whole of the business: •BANKRUPTCY COURT.—.M. re Jam Pooley : This bankrupt was a builder and contractor at' Liverpool. Mr. Commissioner Perry was to have delivered judg mont yesterday, on the bankrupt's application for a certificate, which was heard on Friday. There were various grounds of objection to the allowance then urged by Mr. Martin on behalf of the assignees, one of which was that the bankrupt had, at the instigation of an architect in this town, added the sum of £lOO to his original estimate for building a church at Bir kenhead, and had thus been a party to defrauding the trustees for the erection of the church. — His Honour said, before g i v i ng j u dgment, he would wish t o k now from Mr. Martin whether the objection with Niel.- ence to that c ontract was pressed, and y so he sh ou ld mostwish certainly toliear pressed itarg the objection.—Mr.Martinued.-31r. said the assign ees Evans, who appeared for tile bankrupt, said if there was really any thing in the objection, he thought the court should be in possession of all the particulars of the case, as what had been done by his client, he was informed;- was that had court. • If th e bankrupt nothing whatever almost a universal pract i c e, and ho conte n d e d t h at the it had in taken plaee t t o ra d n o sa : t i in, if with hhisconduct had knocked a man down and robbed him of £lOO, that court could take no cognisance of it. —Mr. Martin said that certainly would not be "conduct as a trader," but in the case before, them he could clearly show that the bankrupt's creditors were damnified by the transaction, and he should now ask the court for an- adjournment, to have the architect present and examined.—His Honour, at the request of Mr. Evans, adjourned the sitting :till the 11th September. NIF E A JohnG A (Before Mr. R AFFLES .) A pawerful-lookinTgirranK, named A N l . 'Keon, was charged for having stabbed William Duffy. The injured man was not able to appear. From the evidence of a police inspector, and a cousin of Daffy's, it appeared that the prisoner, Duffy, and some others, were in a public-house in Cook-street, where they got tipsy and quarrelled. They went into the street and commenced fighting, where the allegation was that the priso ner drew a knife and stabbed Duffy about the chest, inflicting no less than seven wounds on him. It was stated that the man bled a great deal, and is so weak that he is not eapab'e of being removed from where he lies at present. The prisoner showed his head and face, and said he was kicked very badly by the other parties. He was remanded for a week, in order to ascer• tain how the injured man would progress. 'JOHN WALSH'S ADVENTURES. John Walsh, apparently about 25 years of age, whose head and face presented an appearance as if he had just come out of the final struggle at the Betian, Sebastopol, ova: charged by officer 134, for having assaulted hm. Mr. Bluck was for the prisoner. The officer said, at three on Sunday morning he was in Midghall-hall street, where he saw a drunken man on some steps, and when rousing him up, the prisoner came behind, struck and knocked him down, and used him very violently. In reply to Mr. Block, the policeman denied that he used his staff, or that he injured the prisoner, but he would not swear that he then presented the battered appearance which he does at present. The prisoner was not drunk, nor was he sober at the time. Part of the policeman's statement was borne out by officer 552, but he did not know how the pri soner got injured. Mr. Bluck said be would produce no less than five witnesses, who would swear that the officer used the prisoner most barbarously, without any provocation, and left him in the state he now presented, and if that were so, all he would say, was, that it was scandalous conduct on the part of the police, and if the witnesses did not tell the truth, it would be a great shame. Mr. Raffles said that in both points he agreed with Mr. Bluck. Mr. Block then called five persons who swore that the officer had treated Walsh very cruelly, without any provocation—that he knocked him down, beat him on the head, knelt on his chest, and otherwise injured him. Mr. Kehoe cross-examined the witnesses, when Mr. Raffles said there was no doubt the man was punished by some one, and but for that circumstance, he would fine him double what he would now inflict on him. He fined him 205., or fourteen days' imprisonment. CHARGE AGAINST A SERVANT. CORRESPONDENCE. THE STEAMER GANGES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. SIR., —In your paper of to-day it is stated that I built the Oriental inland Steam Navigation Company's new iron steamer Ganges, which foundered off Madeira a short time since. You have been misinformed on this point, and I will feel obliged by your at once contradicting the statement, as I did not build the vessel, and in fact never saw her until she was in the river here preparing for her voyage to India, and that only at a distance.—l am, &c. JOHN LAIRD. Birkenhead Iron Works, Birkenhead, August 13, 1860. [The mistake of which Mr. Laird complains was not confined to us. It was shared, also, by the London papers, as well as by our local contemporaries.— ED. D. T.] THE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION, TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Six,—The words "Institute" and " Institution" are unfortunately very vague. I see that, in your list of the boys who have distinguished themselves in Liverpool at the late Local Examination, you have grouped toge ther, under the generic title "Liverpool -Institute," twenty-two names. Of these fourteen belong to the Collegiate boys, who stand in the following order:— First Class : R. Pendlebury. Second Class : G. Bradby, C. H. Cook, J. R. East wood, G. F. Jones, J. R. Jones, A. E. Maris. Third Class : W. Hutton, R. J. Procter, H. E. Rowe, J. Scholefield, J. E. Thompson, L. Thompson, IL F. Walter. I am glad to say that all of these obtained also a mark of credit for Religious Knowledge except three, Who' are Nonconformists, and two of whom did not present themselves for examination in the " Rudiments of Faith and Religion."—Your obedient servant, J. S. Iloweozi Collegiate Institution, Aug. 13, 1860. CLOSING THE MARKETS ON SATURDAY NIGHT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. SlR,—The Press is as famous for fairplay, as it is powerful; and in that spirit of fairplay I ask space for a few remarks relative to the important public question of closing the markets at 10 o'clock on Saturday night, instead of 11 o'clock, as heretofore. You are an advo cate for early closing ; so am I ; but the question of the markets has no more to do with the " early closing movement" of private shops and large mercantile establishments, than I have with the domestic economy of the Ashantees. The early closing , movement has been seized on as a lever of popularity, to cloak and mystify the real question, which, with your permission I shall demonstrate, has no relation to the closing of the markets on Saturday night. It will be admitted on all hands that markets are very different from any other class of shops in the town, and that the great mass of people who visit the markets on Saturday evening, never visit, the shops of other tradesmen except in the day time; so that here ; at once, may be separated the ques tion Of the markets, from that of the early closing for ever. The proceedings of the Council, on Wednesday last, shows that the arguments of the shop-keepers of the markets have had due weight on the mem bers, with the exception of Mr. Robertson Glad stone. This gentleman has no necessity to go to market on Saturday evenings ; and, although some of the tenants have not left the markets, yet, if the hour be not changed, it will be soon discovered whether theywill or not. He, too, insinuates that the rents ought to be higher than at present. If his sug gestions be carried out, he will soon find the tenants leaving ; and perhaps he has an eye to the augmentation of property in which he is interested, and which perhaps he calculates letting to some of the aforesaid tenants. On this point I shall have something to say hereafter. The real question, however, lies in a narrow space. Is it beneficial to the great mass of the people, and is it conducive to public morals to close the markets at ten instead of eleven o'clock on. Saturday , evenings ? I shall prove the negative. SeVenty or eighty per cent. of the people who visit the'markets on Saturday even ings, do not obtain the means of doing so before a late hour; and until it becomes universal to pay mechanics and other working men either on Friday evening, or early on Saturday morning, there must be some place where such people must find shops open on Saturday night, up to at least eleven o'clock, to supply them with meat and other provisions ; and if the markets are closed, where the customer can procure every thing required, then, of necessity, shops must be opened outside, and the markets will soon become empty of tenants. This will ,be an inevitable consequence, and what is more, it will cause shops to be kept open up to at least twelve o'clock, for there is no law to prevent that, and thus the people will have an additional hour to supply their wants. Without at present entering into the question of loss that IS entailed upon the vendor, who is obliged . to hold over perishable goods for nearly forty hours—which by the way is a loss to the purchaser also—see what effect the above will have on corporate property. I Shall close this letter by asking attention to two great facts, observable since the closing of the markets at ten. I can refer to the columns of your own paper for one, and to the police statistics for tho other. The first is that I find more butchers and fish dealers summoned now before the magistrates in one day, by the market inspectors, for exposing meat and fish for sale, not fit for human food, than used to be charged in a month under the old system. This is the consequence of the change. Under the old system the articles (then good and wholesome) would have been disposed of at 11 o'clock, at lower prices, and thus the consumer would be benefitted, and the vendor saved from positive loss. The next fact is, that since the change, the number of persons charged with drunken ness, from about the markets, has nearly doubled, and is on the increase. The reason is obvious—the people employed about the markets, have now more leisure, and spend their time in the public-house, instead of at business. The whole question, therefore, is one of great public importance. But as I fear I hale encroached on your valuable space, I must crave the favour of the insertion of another letter or two, knowing your love of fairplay, and fully aware that you are not in any way accountable for the opinions expressed by your corres pondents,—l am, sir, your obedient servant, NIAGARA FALLS.—The Niagara Falls Gazette says, that a day or two ago a drayman threw his dog into the rapids near Goat Island-bridge, and immediately afterwards went to the foot of the ferry stairs, and found him but, little injured by the tremendous leap. The cruel experiment was tried to convince some incredulous persons. KN@WLEDGE.—Pour in knowledge gently. Plato observed that the minds of children were like bottles with very narrow mouths—if you attempted to fill them too rapidly, much knowledge was wasted and little received; whereas with a small stream they were easily filled. Those who would make young children prodi gies act as wisely as if they would pour a pail of water into a pint measure. Hopley, the convict schoolmaster, was removed on Thursday morning from the county prison at Lewes, where he has been confined since his conviction, to the convict prison at Millbank. Mrs. Ropley, who has ex hibited the most devoted affection for her unhappy part ner, left Lewes by the same train, and thus had the opportunity of accompanying him through the journey. Hopley appeared to be in good health, and • not cast down by his position. A FACT FOR ORN.ITROLOGITS.7--.A., CireßmstaßCO, Worthy of the attention of ornithologists has been com municated to' Its by , a trustworthy correspondent.' Head-constable Harkins, of the Rosbercon Conttebn lary, recently was made a present of a lark by a police man of the Glanmore station, who had kept the,bird .in a cage in his room. The head-constable, some days after, bringing the lark home, opened the Cage l le; allow it to fly about the room, when to his great disappoint meet it contrived to.escape.,through a broken, window. He expected never to see the bird again, but to his no small astonishment he learned next day that it had flown directly to GlaninOre, a distance of five Miles,' and sought refuge again in the cage of its old master, where it has since remained.—Kilkenny Moderator.
