Marcus, of Leigh-street; the amount claimed gin , " i7l: fcir bteaell of contrail, under the fol- excursion trains from Birkenhead to various places in Wales. These trains were entitled " Marcus's cheap and the ticket *as available by certain trains from the Saturday to tite,yednesday. The plain tjff purchased one of the tickets,- . And on a certain Wed nesday he was returning home; and reached the Conway Railway Station at 2.5 p.m. In the railway bills,issucd by Mr. _Marcus, it was_ stated that 'there would be three trains daily, by l yhichOe excursionists could return, namely, 6.50 a.m., 2 1 .P.,6 p.m., and 7.45 p.m. The plaintiff wished to return b_ythe 2.26 p.m. train, but he found that there was nu such train ; and he and excursions. others wishing to get to Egpuma that night, which they could not do if they waiifed i for the 7.45 p.in. train went into an express train at, Conway. When he reached Chester, the railway officials refused,to acknow ledge the return ticket, and he (the':idaintiff) was obliged to pay 17s. He applied to Mr. Marcus for the 17s. ; but that gentleman said t he was not liable, being only an agent of the Railway Company, and the action was accordingly brought. M. Marcus (the . defendant) was examined, and stated that.,the bills and plaeards were issued by him, after being revised by "the Railway Company. He paid all the expenses of advertising, pla cards, &c., and received a per- tentage on the sale of tickets. He was only the agent of the Railway Company, and not the principal. lie had no control over the carriacres, He did not personally know whether a train was started from Conway at 2.26 p.m. on the day *tr. M'Henry re turned, but he, thought that, there must . ha've'been one. The plaintiff had called upon him (the defendant) and stated the circumstances, and he was referred to the cashier of the Chester and;Holyhead Railway. The plaintiff here stated that he had called upon the de fendant upwards of twenty times, and the latter stated to him that the cashier of the Chester and Holyhead Railway was ou his weddingtour but .when he returned, he (the defendant) .had_no doubt the 17s. would be re funded. • This ,Mr. ,Narcus strenuously denied. His Honolir said that he certainly was of opinion that' Mr. Marcus was the iiriheipitl and not the agent--if only the agent of the railway company, then why were the trains entitled “Mgcus's •Oheap: ; Excurst9ns ?" He would, however, coniider th - casje,.and deliver judgment on the 28th of November. "• Mr. Bremner said he bad a perfect right to do so, if he choose ; and further, he had a right to have a short handwriter present on his own account, if he thought proper. ' The Reporter explained that he had a severe cold, and 'had taken that position for the purpose of hearing better; 'bit he left, and took the seat allotted to him. • Mr. Moss then passed round the table, 'and took up the seat the reporter had vacated. Mr. Bremner objected to Mr. Moss taking that seat. . . Mr. Moss (striking the table with full force) :—Sir, you are impertinent. Am I, a legally appointed guar dian, to be dictated to by this individual, where I shall sit in my own room? You are here as a solicitor, and, if you interfere with me, I will have you turned out. I have a right to second the suggestion of my friend, Mr. Wilson, inasmuch as I do not think it pro per to allow the reporter to sit there. Mr. Bremner.—l am not come here to have any alter cation with anybody. Mr. Mainwaring.—l am always glad to see legal gen tlemen present. He (Mr. Bremner) is attending here to assist his client, and I am sorry. at this difference: After some further remarks, the examination of •the • . *witness was continued as follows :—Mr. Heath said he .

James Johnston, THE LATE EARL OF WESTMORELANEL—Au honour seldom paid to a foreigner having no connection with Prussia has just been bestowed at Berlin in memory of the late Earl of Westmoreland, so many years the British Ambassador in that capital. All the principal military bands were assembled in presence of thd Prince Regent and the, most distinguished persons in Berlin, and performed Beethoven's Funeral March, a favourite work of the late ,o•eneral and diplomatist, whose com positions were well known and appreciated in the Prus sian capital. WHAT THEY SAY IN AUSTRALIA.--ByTOll confessed that he was in sore strait for a hero when he had re course to Don Juan ' • and the governing circles in the mother, country must be in sad poverty in the statesman line when they fall back on pleasant Lord Pam—that marvellously entertaining old gentleman, who can make fast young M.P.'s from the Temple, and heavy country squires shake their sides in admiration, just as easily as the sentimental Don used to bring sunshine into the boudoirs of the Cyclades and Portman-square. Now, at, any rate, the Imperial senate will not like a joke while, preparing against explosions of a more disagreeable character ; but what Lord Palmerston has ever effected successfully besides cracking jokes it would indeed be difficult to tell. To him, more than to any other individual, is England indebted for the circumstance that she has been overreached in the political arena by her treacherous and crafty neighbour of the Tuileries.—lte/bpurne Age. Tng NEGRO INSURRECTION AT HA_RPER'S F ERRY. —A New York journal says : A large bundle of letters, addressed to Charles P. Tido, one of the dead filibusters, was found in a trunk at the house of Captain Cook's mother-in-law. Among them were several from his mother, who, it appears, lives with a second hus band at or near Springdale, lowa, breathing the most tender and affectionate spirit, and praying Heaven. to bless and protect her ." dear child, Charles," through all the dangers which he was about to pass, and beg ging of him, if he escaped unharmed,. to return at once to his home. All the letters are written in the Quaker style of " theeing and thouing," and are pervaded with a deeply religious tone. All appove and encourage the enterprise in which he is engaged as a holy cause, and exhort him to lead a life of piety. Many of the letters are in a feminine hand. One signed. " Em10n, 4 ," very prettily written, and dated " Bth month, 11th, 1859," contains this. sentence " Press' nobly on, for by your instrumentality millions ma have the pleasure of s-iging the s ong o f lib er ty." " Jana" writes, under dote of "7th month, 22nd, 1859," as follows :—" My dear Friend,—As the time seems drawing very near that we must part, per haps never again to meet, on these mund ane shores, and finding that I, have many things to say to thee, I have concluded to let my pen follow, for a few moments, my thoughts. * * * I believe that thy motivrs are purely philanthropic and sympathetic, and I think that I do appreciate the feeling that prompts thee to take, as it were, thy life in thy hands, and go boldly forth in such a hazardous undertaking in that cause that lies near my heart, and in which I can see nothing that I can do to hasten the day of deliver mice. * I have been thinking, this afternoon, of the great responsibility that is going to rest upon thee in the c omman d of others. May th ou d o it with wisdom and discretion, in calmness, doing nothing rashly. Set thy mark high, and aim at perfection. Be noble, be dignified, and always see that the rights of women are respected and protected." MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. Yesterday, a general meeting of the local committee an .1 subscribers to the local fund raised for the pur poses of the show at Liierpool this year was held at the Town-hall, for the purpose of winding up the accounts and making a general settlement. The mayor, Wm. Preston, Esq., presided. Mr. T. B. RYDER, the honorary secretary, read the report of the local committee which, after an introduc tory paragraph, proceeded as follows : In fulfilment of the duties so entrusted to them the com mittee have assembled in this hall eight times, irrespective of the two sub-committee meetings and of the first and present general meetings. Their duties have consisted chiefly in the solicitation and collection of donations to • the required fund, then in determining the number, amount, and character of the premiums to be offered for competition. These were de nominated local or special prizes, in contradistinction to the ordinary ones of the society, in addition to which they were given. In the next place it was requsite to obtain a stun sufficiently large to cover the amount of prizes to be awarded, besides the contribution of ZOO to the funds of the society, and othir considerable expenses, the- probable amount of which, owing to the shortness of time had to be speculated upon to a certain extent. From first to last, however, the committee have not in reality felt any pecuniary responsibility, owing to the very liberal and handsome manner in which their efforts have been responded to, and the general results of which they will now 'give. The total sum subscribed to the local fund has now amounted to £865 18s. This comprises 410 subscrip tions varying in amount from £1 15.,, the minimum . (except in four accidental cases), to £5O each from the Earls of Derby and Sefton; whilst the names of all contributors, saving thosenow announced, have from time to time been published in the local papers. Of this amount £686 was offered hi special prizes, whilst of it £626 was awarded at the show on the Bth and 9th of September, and has since • been paid, except those priZes respecting the award of which' there were objections which had to be reserved for consideration by this meeting, and will be paid as soon as possible hereafter. £lOO has been paid to the society, as promised, towards its expenses. £65, 7's. has been expended in advertising, printing, ' Stc., and indirectly aiding the society by plaearding the show, &c. ; and there remains in hand a balance of £6O 17s. 3d., or what will probably be about that amount after the banking account has been made! up. • The secretary and treasurer's accounts , have been duly . audited by Mr. Ledger and Mr. Brown., who were appointed for the purpose at the last committee • meeting, and whose services are now gratefully acknowledged. Finan cially, therefore, a great success has been achieved ; and there can be no doubt that, had it been deemed • requisite, £l,OOO at least could have been raised for the purpose. As was to be expected from such encouragement and stipport, the exhibition proved to be one of considerable magnitude and importance. Probably• not fewer than 20,000 persons witnessed it; and altogether a very general and wide-spread interest in the meeting was manifested. A very few figures taken from the society's records of its last meetings in Liverpool, in 1849 and 1852, will suffice to show the immense superiority and advance of this year's exhibition.

At the last meeting of the corcunittee, it was unaniMously decided that, 'in consideration of the great assistance rendered on this occasion by the Mayor, a medal be prepared and offered for his Worship's acceptance to-day, and the committee feel assured that it will afford the subscribers generally inUchgra tification in having the opportunity of joining in this small but' sincere token of respect. The medal is of silver, richly gilt, and is inscribed as follows : • "Presented to William . Preston, Esq., Mayor of Liverpool, by the Local Committee of the Manchester and Liverpool Agri cultural Society, as a souvenir of its meeting at• Liverpool during his mayoralty, but more particularly as a token .of their high appreciation of his courteous, attentive, and' ififinential aid on the occasion, whereby the orerations of the society were widely, extended, and its objects greatly promoted. "Sep. 30, 18594 T. B. RYDER, Hon. Sec: and'Treasr." To the Mayor, also, and to the members ot.the corporation of Liverpool, the committee feel that the warm thanks of the general meeting is due for the very' efficient and admirable police arrangements, which, under the guidance of Major' Greig and Inspectors Quick and Ride; were gratuitously 'afforded on the occasion. . The meeting will - further be glad to join the Society in ex pressing its cordial thanks to George Holt, Esq., the owner, and the London and North-western Railway Company, the occupiers, for the nse of the show ground, the use of which was gratuitously, given by them,; and to the railway companies in general for 'the facilities afforded for the transit of stock and implements, &c. • On the motion of . Mr. LEDGER, seconded . by Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE, the report was received and adopted. Mr. Rmun then proceeded to present to the mayor the medal alluded to in the report. He said he made the presentation with very great pleasure. The local _committee, as well as the society in general, felt very greatly indebted to the mayor for the services that he had rendered to the society on this 'occasion, This , was one of. the closing scenes of Mr. PrestOn's Mayoralty, and he (the Secre tary) hoped it would' prove to be not one of the least gratifying incidenta in his worship's year 'of office. ,Again, he begged to say that he presented the testi monial with a feeling of great respect, and was glad that the occasion had arisen which gave him the oppor tunity of giving expyession to that feeling. (Applause!), The MAYOR, having received the medal, said he was sure that no services of his could in any way have called on the Council to reward him with such a valu a bl e li tt l e souvenir, His services, such as they were, had been given with 'the greatest possible satisfaction, seeing that the gentlemen who formed the rn Council had taken so much interest, in giving 'so much time and paying so much attention to the discharge of their ' respective duties. He thanked the secretary for having presented him with so handsome, a testimonial. (Applause.) ....• .... . Mr. ROBERTSO N GLADSTONE having spoken in' terms of commendation of the character of the testimonial that had been presented to the mayor, said—As to the appro priation of funds, he had generally found that-the best mode of arriving at a correct estimate' as to What was due and right towards-others, was to put ones-self into' the same position ; and, knowing that the duties con nected with ' the - secretaryship had been , extremely onerous, and had occupied a great deal of time, not only of Mr. Ryder himself, but of others employed in his service, and believing that he had been most efficient in the discharge of his duties—that he thoroughly understood the business of a secretary to an agricultural association—he felt that it was their duty to encourage Mr. Ryder, and to look forward to his services, being employed on future occasions. And beyond all this, he thought it was still further due that there should be some testimonial of Mr. Ryder's duties having been performed in a satisfactory manner ; and therefore he begged leave to move that- of the balance of £BO in hand L5O should be..awarded to M. Ryder, and the remaining £lO kept in hind to meet any out- standing claims against the committee, and that if there should he no such claims, then that b the balance be handed over to the parent society. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BROWN seconded the motion, and spoke from personal experience of the admirable services rendered by Mr. "Ryder. He would take that opportunitY : of expressing a desire that he entertained tltht there should be a proper organisation embracing the whole county, With a proper staff of Officers, and. 'funds 'sufficient to ineet,the demands caused by extra efforts to give cha racter to a show. Lancashire had sufficient wealth in it to buy up all the small societies ; and he 'thought if i this sod* exerted itself, they might get a sufficient amount of money to induce the exhibition of special specimens from all parts of the country. lie pointed out that - two or three societies in different parts of the country had absorbed smaller societies, and achieved a great measure of success. The MA.Yon. said he cordially agreed with everything that Mr. Gladstone had stated with respect to Mr. Ryder's services. He was sure that the time and atten tion devoted by that gentleman to the duties of his office would be very inadequately rewarded, even by .a gift of £5O. (Hear, hear.) The motion was agreed to. Mr. RYDER gracefully acknowledged the vote, and made particular allusion to the services iendered to the society by the collectors, stewards, committee, and other gentlemen. The committee then proceeded to the transaction of some routine business, and so brought their labours to a close 4- LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. and • when I nd Jos, overseer Ntas . bro NORTHERN DAILY -T.

Mr. Goodacre was called, and said the prisoner was recommended to-him by friends as being connected with a school for four years, the two last years as a' pupil teacher. He took him upon this recommendation. Having frequently to leave 'home, he was in the habit of leaving the prisoner Ll or 30s. to pay petty expenses. Three weeks last Saturday he' (witness) had in- his pos session an Irish £lO note. Just previous to going to Glasgow; he gave it to the prisoner to get changed. He was to take £9 to his (witness's) lodgings—Miss Dentith's, Wellington-terrace, West Derby-road = and to keep the other £1 to pay various small items. When he came back, Miss Dentith, informed him that she had not received any money: He came dawn to the office and found the door locked, and the keys put through the letter-box.. He went, to his aunt, who said he went out in the morning, stating that he was going to his master, and would not be back that night.

SERIOUS CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT AGAINST A CAPTAIN.—WiIIiam Benson, captain of the ship Pomona,. was charged by Messrs. Munn & Cp., owners of the above named vessel, with embezzling various sums of money their property. Mr. Conway, barrister, instructed by Messrs. Fletcher and Hull, appeared to prosecute;, and Mr. Deighton, barrister, instructed by Mr. Cobb, for the defendant.—Mr. _ Conway stated ,the circumstances of the case. Captain Benson was appointed to command 'the ship: Pomona, belonging to Messrs. Munn & Co., sometime last year when they became owners of the ship. The ship was chartered to go to Calcutta ; and,. when at Calcutta,she received a charter from the Govern ment to bring home a number of troops. It became necessary to lay a considerable quantity of provisions in, which would otherwise not have been required. These provisions were bought by the captain by drawing upon his employers. He returned, and arrived at Gravesend in the course of last month. He came here and tendered his accounts to his masters. These accounts were inves tigated, and it was suspected they. were not all right as the terms charged were so exorbitantly high. He would call before hisWoiship, Mr. Munn, who would tell him that these charges were unreasonable and high. They did not satisfy Mr. Munn, and he accordingly requested the captain to meet hint at- the private office. Captain Benson Aid so,,aud said that he had given him a full and Correct statement' of'all monies 'he had . received. He afterwards, however, altered his tune, and sent in another ac6oimt. When the seamen Were getting'paid off, the 'clerk noticed on board a young 'man who had not the appearance 'of an ordinary' sailor. He accordingly made some inquiries, and found out that the " young man's name 'was Cott, who had complained to Messrs. Armin and Co. Of the. treatment which he had received from the captain. This young man had been desirous of going from London to Calcutta and back for the benefit of his health, and an arrangement was made between him and the captain that he shOuld be taken. for £3O, on condition that he acted as captain's clerk, and entered in the Articles as an ordinary seaman. He would call before his worship Mr. Cott's brother, who would prove the payment of the £3O to Capt. Benson ; and as . Capt: Benson had not given any account of that money, he apprehended that was embezzlement. There were two other charges ag*St the captain ; but with regard to them at the present' moment, there would be' some difficulty to make them out. There was a case of a yOung 'lady named' Nally, daughter of a quarter master at Calcutta, for whom £l5 was paid to the .captain for a cabin passage from Calcutta to Gravesend, which the captain had not accounted to Messrs. Munn for. There was .a fourth charge,- in which a person named Hullows, a soldier, , paid the captain £l5 for a passage from the Cape ,of Good Hope' to this port. Mr. R. A. Munn was called and proved the facts relative to the charges being exorbitant and high. He said the disbursements which the ;captain admitted he, had received in two accounts amounted to between £BO and £9O. The case of Cott was the only - one gone, into. The brother,of Cott was called, and proved the circumstances with respect to the arrangement and payment of the money to Captain Benson; After a lengthened discussion, the defendant was committed for trial, two sureties of £5O and himself iir£loo being taken for his appearance.
