From the Southern States, except in the case of Georgia, were both delegates admitted, with power to cast jointly the vote of the State. A withdrawal .of . a por tion of the Southern delegation followed. There was a great deal of confusion and excitement, throughout the proceedings. No ballot had been taked up to the time of the adjournment, but it is believed that the nomination will be the first business of this morning's session.

Yesterday disposed of the perplexing ties of the Volunteers, and made complete the list of the twenty second-best shots, who win the right of competing for the Royal prize: of £250, which will make Saturday the Cup Day of the Meeting. The contest between foreigners exclusively excited great interest yesterday. The Swiss sharp shooters mostly ; fired lying full length on -the ground. THE LEATHER TRADE. It appears that Messrs. Lawrence, Mortim.ore, and Co., of Liverpool, the corresponding firm of Street&ld,. Lawrence, and Co., here, stopped payment under the advice of Coleman, the accountant, who had a personal investigation of their position. Their liabilities are estimated at .£300,000. The Daily Netts says there seems to be every disposition to avert forced sales, and consequent sacrifices in . connection with the winding up of the failed firms. The prospect of the permanent colapse in , the leather market - may thas be materially modified.. The suspension, partial - or. total, of the operations - of many of the tanners will likewise contribute to check any extravagant itepreoiatiou in the "Talie of leather. • . THA 'QUESTION. OF PRIVILEGE. The Herald says that Lord Palmerston's speech, - last night, ought to have settled the question : it was in every way creditable to his constitutional ~..knowledge and. patriotism. He accepts, almost ...with gratitude, the rebuff the Lords has given to his Chancellor of the Exchequer, justifying their policy, lauding their judgment, and quietly acquiescing in the result of their vote. In case of ulterior action, a menace eagerly caught at by :a section of the Liberal party, the Herald says 4hat -in such a case Lord Palmerston can rely an the undivided strength of the Conservative party. The Times says Lord Palraerston's speech was a complete oratorical triumph. He had. to take into account not the real merits of the question, • but the internal politics.of his own Cabinet. He • had•to show the House that•the constitution was in their favour, and yet that they were scarcely constitutional. Lord Palmerston had conjured down the Wind, but the Chancellor of the Ex chequer exerted all his powers to raise it again, and may even yet succeed in creating a foolish and utterly unnecessary quarrel between the two. Houses of Legislature., Th e Daily - - Ales . 6 P•y§ that lkir. Gladston.e's declaration last night of his willingness to viudi cate the privileges of the Commons by actions as well as •words, elicited the greatest cheering that has been heard in the House of Commons for many weeks. Mr. Disraeli's speech demonstra tively shows that the aim of the Tori es i s to govern England by the House of - Lords ; and Lord John Russell said that their recent act i s intended as the .prelude -to further innovation. Lord Palmerston's 'laboured apology for the House of Lords destroyed .the value of 'his resolutions, and earned for him the ostentatious. thanks of Mr. Disraeli. . The Star points out that the debate last night discloses the strongest practical difference between the Premier and other members of the Cabinet. Lord Palmerston spoke amid the suppressed murmurs of the Liberal party, and the rapturous cheering of the Tory opposition. It is evident that a Ministerial disruption can only be averted by his recognition of the spirit evinced by the House, and the recantation _of his offensive arid pernicious counsels. AUSTRIAN SPOIL IN ITALY AFTER THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO.—At the period of the French invasion of Italy, the territories of the Republic occupied all the district that lay between the Duchy of Milan and the Adriatic Sea. These terri tories, and Venice itself, were seized by Napoleon, under circumstances which made it impossible to acquit the act of deliberate treachery -to a friendly and con fiding State. The treaty of Campo Formic portioned out between France and Austria the spoil. Austria recognised the new Italian republic, formed in part from her dominions of Milan alit 3lantua, - and . received in exchange, not the entire of the Venetian territo ries, but only that portion which lay. to the east of the Adige. The rest f orme d part o f the possessions of the Cisalpine Republic. Subsequently Venice was severed from Auslria. By the treaty of Presburg, in 1805, Austria, after eight years' possession, sur rendered all the Venetian Provinces to the Kingdom of Italy—receiving a co mpensation e l sew h ere. As to her former Italian territories, Austria was in the position of having, by treaties of peace, deliberately surrendered them. It was impossible to say that Napoleon was not rightly in possession of them--or that the claim could ba put forward, which was justly made in other instances, for restitution of territory, which had been wrested by wrong. The Congress of Vienna not only restored to the Emperor his ancient domi nions in the Duchies of Milan and Mantua, but they assigned also to him the very provinces of Venetia which he bad received in exchange for the surrender of these duchies—and not only this, but added to this splendid gift that portion of the Venetian territory of which Austria never bad the possession, which had been :immediately annexed to the Cisalpine republic. In addition to all this, they annexed to his dominions the valley s of the Valteline, which Napoleon had wrested from the Blvios canton of the Grioons IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. OUSE OF LORDS.-YESTERDAY.

Some progress was made in committee with the Scotch Fishtfle 13111. At the evening sitting, in reply to Mr. Norris, The CHANCELLOR OF THE ExcrimtuEn said that titan feeling existed in the country' in favottr of a transfer of the duties of the. collection of the Into - die and Assessed Tax to the offices of Inland Re - i - Cnite. A circular had been sent to the Board bf Laikt 'DC: Commissioners for the purpose of ascer tairtitg their opinion, which, so far as- the answers received, \Vas in favour of the transfer, especially in the country districts. Mr. BAUM: asked the Lord Advocate whether. he intended to bring in a bill to maintain the salaries of the Scot& toho6l masters, or whether he intended to leave thent to their fate until he is able to pass through both liMiset 'a -general measure for education in Scotland The Lora AnvotAlL replied that he hoped next cession to be able to hting this matter to a decision.

PAosv said that no elteration would be made in present arrangements. In reply to Sir It. 'Sheridan, Lord 7.

Crawford, _ _ _ Lord PALMERSTON said ;hat he intended to persevere with the Bankruptcy Bill,however late it m'ght prolong the session. Captain ESMONDE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland what course the Government intend to pursue with regard to the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill, and the renewal of the pows,r, ui the Irish Poor-Law Commission. • Mr. CARDWELL said that he h.";:eato' ave passed a_ bill on the subject, but all ha ntilf% do at present was to introduce a continuance for one filter year.

C. Lzwxs said that the correspondence on the subject had been laid upon the table, by which. it appeared that the theceding of the magistrate, in signing the order for removal was unquestionably irregular. Magistrates 'would be initructed to be more careful in future. Mr. BRADY declaimed against the conduct of the magistrates icho bed signed the order of removal. " Mr. JAMES entered into some explanation in defence of the conduct of the magistrates, which had been greatly exag gerated. " Mr. Rocitucx, on the contrary, declared that the magistrates had set their hands to a falsehood, and ought to be chastised, Mr. Ihnttar asked whether any positive act of reparation would be made by the Government. Some further observations were made by Mr. McMahon and Mr. V. Scully. Mr. VILLIERS obcrved that all he could do was to authorise• the Board in Ireland to proceed against that of St. Pancras. Mr. Maoritt declared that it was useless to expect, justice in any such proceedings. lie urged the Government to remove the offending magistrates. . The subject then dropped. Lord FERMOY asked if, in the event of the resolution on Tat Bills being carried, the Government was prepared to adopt any active measure in accordance with the declaration of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. - In reply to Colonel Dunne, Sir C. Wools stated that a commission had been appointed to regulate the mode and scale of the diitribution of the Delhi and other Indian prize money. Mr. BUTT inquired at what time the Government intended to bring forward the postponed estimate for the Galway. Packet Contracts. The CHANCELLOI: of the Exenraern said that very urgent business had occupied the time of the Government since tho select committee had presented their last report on the subject. They would, however, bestow upon it their earliest attention, and make the best arrangement possible for submitting their determination to the House. Mr. M'Evov called the attention of the House to the recent appointment of Mr. Keogh to he Sessional Crown Solicitor. -He questioned the propriety of this appointment, which he considered to have been a reward for electioneering services. Mr. CORBALLT also thought that many fitter persons might have been found for the office. The ArronNET-finrsnAL for Ireland defended his selfttion of Mr. Keogh, who was, he believed, in every respect qualified for the function of Crown Solicitor in Meath. Captain O'CoNxltt. asked whether her Majesty's Govern. ment have taken. r intend to take any steps to enable the peo ple of Ireland to form volunteer corps in that country. Lord FALSIERSTON replied that there was no intention to alter the law on the subject.. Adverting to the question pre viously asked by Lord Fermoy, he said that he was quite satisfied' with the resolutions as they stood, and if the house adopted them he did not purpose founding Upon them any further action. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A FARMER FOR HANGING A BOY. A few days ago, at the County Police Office, Leicester, a farmer, of Evington, named Tebbs Johnson, was charged with a brutal assault on a boy, named George Scarborough. It appeared that the lad bad been working for the defendant, whose wife entrusted him with some money to carry to her husband. It was wrapped in paper, and he opened it to look at what was inside. He then wrapped the money up again, but did not take it to defendant, because he had lost a sovereign on the road. He hid the remainder, and afterwards denied that be had received the money. Thereupon the assault was committed. A man named Glover stated that he saw the defendant come to the gate of the field in which he was, put a string round complainant's neck, and carry him to the middle of the road by the string, at the same time lifting him up and down with it. Defendant also carried complainant in this manner up and down the lane. The complainant's tongue was out, and defendant carried him 150 yards. He appeared senseless and unconscious, and pointed to different parts of the field. After defendant had done with complainant, he turned him over to an Irishman who came up, handing him the string and a knife, telling him to do as he liked with him. The child was .carried backwards and forwards by the string in the lane for quite an hour. He saw the Irishman holding the complainant with the string and an open knife in the other hand, taking him from one part of the road to the other. Defendant was present. The Irishman let com plainant fall upon the ground, end then lifted him up by the string, and kept dragging him by it. The lad became quite unconscious, and was very seriously injured. The defendant was fined £lO, with £1 19s. costs. •We understand that the Wakefield bribery prosecu tions are to be conducted by the Solicitor General, and not by the Attorney General as previously stated. • The trial of implements in connection with the annual show of the Royal Agricultural Society was opened at Canterbury, on Wednesday.

A SKETCH or A COCKNEY.—Nature is the best and truest teacher a man can have—and it is little of nature that the Cockney sees, or hears, and feels. He goes to Richmond, but instead of studying the finest panorama in the world, he stupifies himself with doubtful port. He visits the Crystal Palace, but 'A is for the sake of the lobster salad. He runs to Greenwich, not to revel in that park, beautiful still in spite of the attacks of London on its purity, but to eat white-bait. He takes, it may be, the rail or the steamboat to Gravesend, but merely that he may dance with milliners at Tivoli. The only idea of a garden to a London gent is a place whero there is dancing, and drinking, and smoking going on. And this is a type of his inbred depravity. He has no rational amusements. In the winter time shut ap the casinos and do away with the half-price at the theatres, and the poor fellow is hors chi combat, and has nothing eft him but suicide or Oiriunt trentem.

The sole cause of dispute, it appears, arises from a claim, by the men to commence work at seven instead of six on Monday mornings, a point which we should consider very easy of adjustment by a coMptomise. It is to be regretted, however, that the Library Committee should haiie abandoned their natiixal position as arbitei - s it the dispute, and have volunteered their Moral support to the Contractors.

GARIBALDI'S LETTEA 10 -A LIVERPOOL COMMISSION AGENT.—Mr. Thomas Parker, commission agent, of 20, Fenwick-street, has just received the following letter froin Garibaldi. It is written in English, and it `will be seen from its contents that the Italian patriot has agetd td purchase two steamers from Mt. Barker, who intends to proceed immediately to Sicily with the vessels. The letter, which is dated Palermo, June 24th, is as follows : " received your letter of the 9th instant, con taining your list of steam-packets for *ale. I thank you for your offer, and am quite willing to follow your suggestion about the steamers mentioned under Nos. 4 and 16. Send them out as soon as possible to Palermo. The coast is quite clear, besides which, as the steamers would sail under British colours, they could come in like so many others which arrived hefore the Neapolitans had left. As for the price, I accept that mentioned in. your letter for each of them, delivered at Palermo.. The price will be p a id as soon as t h e steamers arrive here. The larger steamers (No. 30, 31, &c.), which you recommend as fit: to carry guns, are unfortunately built of iron, which is a decided objection to their being used for warlike purposes. What we want in this respect are the gunboats you have in England. If yon could do something in that way, above all if you could get, some of them fully armed, I should not -hesitate to give a good price for them. In conclusion, let me thank you for your good wishes; and assure you that am deeply sensible for the sympathy which our cause has excited among you. Let England remember that she has no really sincere ally except among free people, and that there are but few of these on the Continent. An Italy free and united would supply this want, and be one of the greatest oleztatles to the schemes of the Emperor of the French. Send us quickly arms, ships, guns, and material, and I vouch for the speedy realisation of this great object.---I am, sir, very truly yours, " G. GARIBALDI." THE 'LATE A. H. Horme, ESQ., ARCIIITECT.—There has just been erected at the western end of the parish church of Walton, where th e re m ain s of the late Mr. Arthur Hill Holme were buried, a chaste and finely-executed memorial. As many of our readers are aware, he had attained a distinguished position in his profession, and deservedly so, for many of his works display, both in their design and general details, an extensive acquaintance with the higher branches of architectural science, and particularly of the principles of eccle siastical architecture. Perhaps rio more striking proofs of this could be found than the beautiful churches of St. Paul, Prince's-park, and St. Mary, Grassendale, which were built from designs by him, the latter edifice especially being worthy of notice as a model of a village church. 'Mr. Holme had by his many excellent qualities endeared himself to a very large circle of acquaintance, who have adopted a most graceftl method of evincing the esteem in which they hold the memory of their departcd friend, the cost of the monument having been defrayed by subscriptions from one hundred of those gentlemen. It has been executed bythe celebrated sculptor. Mr. Spence, of Rome, from a design by Mr. T. X. Coiling, architect, of London. The style is neat, and singularlyelegant, and the sculpture, it is almost unneces sary to say, is faultless. It is exec uted in marble throughout. The tablet is encircled by an enriched border and mould ings, the lower part resting on an exquisitely chiselled floral wreath, the whole being surmounted by a massive pediment or semi-canopy. Filling the centre and Principal compartment is a bold and finely executed, bas-relief, representing the deceased in a reclining posture, apparently studying a work of art, having in his right hand a pair of compasses, in his left a scroll, and surrounded with instruments peculiar so his pro fession. At his feet is a pedestal supporting the model of a church. Within a panel- on the basement is the following inscription : _ To the beloved memory of Arthur Hill HiAnte, an architect, of no mean reputation, a man of taste and feeling, and an object of universal regard among all classes of persons in Liverpool, his native town. This monument is erected by one hundred intimate friends—who loved him living and deplore him dead. Born 13th May, 1814 ; died 22nd November, 1837; aged 43 years. 0 mayeat thou in the building of the just Thyself stand firm when all thy works are dust. The monument has already been viewed by many of the late gentleman's personal friends, who pronounce the figure to be an exceedingly correct and striking like ness; and the work altogether is highly approved of. DEPARTURE OF H.M.S. MAJESTIC. On Sunday morning the Majestic will steam down the river to join the Coast Guard vessels appointed to do channel service during the absence of the fleet, which will accompany his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales half way across the Atlantic, on his journey to Canada The Coast Guard vessels aro eleven in number. On the 15th instant they will assemble at Portland for examina tion by Commodore Yelverton, C.B. When the fleet returns the Coast Guard vessels will proceed to their respective stations. The - boys* of the Majestic have been entered on board H.M.S. Hastings, which will do river service during the absence of the former. The Hastings will not, however, leave the Queen's Dock. On Thursday evening the men on board the Majestic were kindly entertained at the expense of the officers, by a travelling conjuror named Adrian, wbo accomplished some excellent feats with cards and. French boxes. The men were in raptures, and they evidently enjoyed the treat. Martin's band was also in attendance. After the exhibition, dancing commenced on the main -deck, which was decorated with flags, ornaments, and flowers, tastefully arranged. The evening's: entertainment was brought to a close about ten o'clock. The ladies who were invited to the entertainment were loud in their expressions of regret at the departure of the Majestic from--,as one said--"our romantic-mud-river." 1 4 11 E DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1860.

Mr. Toulmin appeared for the assignees, and applied that the adjudication of bankruptcy might be annulled, the bankrupt having presented a petition for that purpose, and the whole of the creditors who had proved debts upon the estate being consenting parties thereto.

Yesterday two hundred and thirteen of the Royal Naval Coast Volunteers mustered on board ILM.S. - 2‘iajestic fcir twentyleight days' drill: Their ntimbers v; ill be 6Orisiderably augmented by to-night. 'thirty one come from the Isle of Man ; the remainder are inhabitants of Liverpool, Birkenhead, and their neigh bourhoods. Some brought their wives, who are domi ciled about Rock Ferry. A third of the force are in their third year, and all the others in their second year of service, and consequently arc in an advanced state of efficiency. There are, of course, a good number of " roughs " among them, but, on the whole," their appearance generally is satisfactory. Six only. have been rejected as medically unfit for the service. As the Majestic has been appointed to do channel service for a tithe, the Inert Will gain valuable expe rience, which could not other Wise be extended to them ; and, in the language of one of the officers, " they will be made something of." THE CHARGE OF POISONING IN - VAuX.ItAtL-ROAD. Yesterday, an order frOm the Secretary of State for the Home Department was received by the proper authorities for the exhumation of the bodies of Samuel, William, and Elizabeth Townsend. It will be remem bered that the female was the sister of the late Mrs. James, of Valli - hall-road, WhOse death has been attri bi!ted to jolsoii, and on Which charge Thomas Winslow is no tinder remand before the Magistrates, but upon Whom a committal for wilful miirder by the Coroner has been made. It is supposed that Mrs. Townsend and. her two sons were poisoned, as the symptoms in all cases were the same. Mrs. Townsend was buried in October, one of her sons in December, .and the other in Janitary. All were interred at 'Waltoti parish Cemetery, and at two o'clock 'yesterday, Mr. Walter, the prosecuting attorney for the borough, accom panied by Drs. Cameron, Edwards, and Ayrton, together with Surgeon Pope, and Mr. John Cobb, the prisoner's attorney, proceeded, to the cemetery for the- purpose of having the "bodies - tram- up and. examined by the medical gentlemen. The bodies having been disinterred, were carried into the cemetery • church, where they - were dissected by Dr. Bickerton. The heart, stomach, and other portions of the body were then placed in jars, and conveyed to Dr. Edwards' labo rattity, *here - they will be analysed. Surgeon Pope attended on behalf of the prisoner. Of course some time must elapse before the result can be known. Probably the evidence will be ready on Monday, to which day the prisoner stands remanded. THE RIFLE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DULY TIMES. Sin e —l am glad you have taken up this subject by advocating the proposal to bring it within the reach of the working classes. I trust our members will use their influence with the Government to persuade it to give some - assistance in order to encourage and enable that class to join in the movement. The latter would gladly do so if they coul4. No one will say our artisans would not make excellent soldiers; but they cannot afford to pay for "an outfit." These men have their wives and families (as dear to thorn' as are those of the richest men in the land) to provide for and defend. In the event of invasion the majority of them would, of course, be thrown out of employment. The misery that would ensue it is dread ful even to to think of. Were they trained as volun teers—wore an invasion attempted — the country might rest at ease ; but, untrained and unarmed, of what use could they be ? Nay, what misery would they and their families not he reduced to ? Then, why not prevent the bare possibility of such an event, when it can be so easily (and so cheaply) done ? lustead of spending millions in fortifying London, and millions more on fortifications round the coast, let the Govern ment vote ONE million to fit out 400,000 or 500,000 of the most respectable of our working classes, (for £2 or £3 per head would be quite sufficient) ; and then, even if all the soldiers of the line were called away for service abroad, our island-home would be perfectly secure against all and every invader. The annual-- expense of - keeping up such a 'corps would be trifling, and be repaid a thousand-fold by the feeling.of security that would result. We should then have no more " invasion panics ;" for, with - such a back-bone of strength, in addition to the other self-supporting volunteer corps, Britain might, and could, defy the world in arms. Our skilled mechanics are fine fellows, and make noble soldiers. Look at the artillery corps of " our own," Charles M'lver of Liverpool, and " our" John Laird of Birkenhead, and deny it who can !—Yours, A RirrnmAN. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.--YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLE.) A DANGEROUS BLACKGUARD. A ruffianly-looking fellow, named William Lashley, r'az brought up by Mr. Murphy, of the Local Marine Board, or. the following charge. Mr. Murphy stated the case, which was borne out by the evidence as follows. On the 21st of June, the prisoner signed arti.eles.as the carpenter of the ship Com merce, belonging to J. F. Hutton & Co., at £6 a month. He got £l2 advance. He went on board on the 23rd and remained a couple of days, but en the third night in company of three. others, took the ship's bort and deserted her with the other three men. In consequence of the want of hands to manage the ship, she drifted down the river and came into collision with a ship called the Lucy Tho.npson, and there was damage to the arriount of £25 sustained by the vessel. There was also £1 for advertising the boat and £1 reward for its recovery. It has been picked up. And besides the prisoner had got his note cashed, and of course had swindled the party cashing it out of the money. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said, the ship was net sea worthy and was leaking 'very much and that was the reason he left her. Mr. Murphy said the prisoner bored holes in the ship, and induced the other three men to abscond with him, saying the ship was leaking. A gentleman from the office of the owners, handed in a Lloyd's Certificate, that the.ship was in thorough repair and quite sea worthy. Mr. kaffles said the ease was a very bad one and he :Would send the prisoner to jail for 12 weeks. A REGULAR SAVAGE. John Smith, a sailor, and William Thompson, the third mate of the ship Henry Clay, were charged by Captain Buckleman, of the Russian ship Aallota, under the following cireurn.ta nees. Mr. Block appeared for the prosecution, and stated the case, from which it appeared that the complainant's shin and the Henry Clay are lying beside each other in the Waterloo Dock, and that on boarithe former was a quantity of old tarpauling. The two persons went onboard, and were in the act of walking off with the canvas when one of the men prevented him, when Thompson took up a handspike and swore he would dash the man's brains out, and went off with the stuff. He (Mr. Block) said he never heard of a more audacious act in his life : it was not enough to commit a felony, but he made it worse by threatening to dash the man's brains out. 2k sailor on board complainant's ship proved the above facts. Thompson, who kept grinning like a tiger all the time, and seemed to make very light of the affair, said he saw the canvas on hoard the ship, and, wanting it on board his own, he took it. nis Worship said, although the prisoner had done very wrong, he did not think there was a felony, and ^s there was no charge against Smith he would discharge him. He ordered Thompson to pay a fine of 10s, whereon the prisoner made a furious attack on Mr. M`Guinness, one of the bridewell keepers, who was in the dock beside him. M'Guinness was then joined by Mr. Slack, a brother keeper, when the prisoner sprang on both like a hyena, roaring like a bear. He•would soon have made short work with these two respected officers, for he is a powerful young fellow, but Mr. Benton, the goveror, who was present, came to the rescue ; however, half a dozen of constables were promptly in attendance, and even this number had a vast deal to do to master him, he yelling furiously all the time. After a fearful struggle he was got down stairs, where he was secured for a time until the tine was paid. When he was let out of the dock he turned round, and with a savage growl he cried out, " I should like to hays about five minutes each with every policeman in the court," and he appeared very much inclined to knock the head off the first man he met. lie was cautioned to be quiet, and then he went away growling most furiously. A BROKEN NOSE. Bridget Ballisty and James Forrest, alias George Coy, were brought up by Officer 420. The man was drunk and disorderly in Vauxhall-road, when he was taken into custody. The female came up and struck the officer on the nose with some thing but he could not tell what, and broke that organ, Surgeon said the man's nose had a compound fracture, and there would be permanent injury. The woman was sent for trial, and the man was fined 10s. or a month. • (Before Messrs. Toita and RANKIN - .) PUBLICANS' CASES. John Raby, publican, Pitt - street , was summoned by Inspector Hough for permitting drunkenness in his house on the evening of the 27th ult. Mr. Muck was for the defence, and examined the inspector, who said he had no ill-feeling towards the defendant. There were five men drunk in the house. eaft eer 637 said there was a fight in the defendant's house, and he saw five men drunk there. This officer denied that. he ever asked defendant for ss. The defendant stood up and said, "You did." Mr. Bluck then co itended that the police had an ill-feeling against the defendant. He called the barmaid, who stated that the drunken men came into the house, but were not served there. Fined LI and costs There was a send charge against the defendant by Inspector Hough, who said, on the day after the last information, he got two men and two women drunk there : one weman was screeching at the door, drunk. Acquitted. BEER-HOUSE CASES. Mary Kennion, Falkland-street, was charged for selling ale on Sunday last ,at twelve o'clock. Fined 10s. and costs. Thomas M'Caul, St. Andrew-street, was 'summoned for selling ale at illegal hours. Fined ss. and costs. Joseph Challoner was summoned for doing business at his hnu , c, Albert-street, Paddington, at ten on last Sunday. The defendant had been fined nine times before, and was now fined £2 and costs. Martin Waldron, Midgehall-street, was charged for doing business at illegal hours. Fined is. and costs. Peter Regan, Devon-street, was charged far selling ale at prohibited hours. Fined ss. and costs. William Green, Church-street, Sobo, was charged for selling porter on Sunday. Not proved, and dismissed. Will'am Harrison, Prince Edwin-street, was charged for selling ale on Sunday farenoon. Flisrainsed. William Bole, Wellington-street, was summoned f:er Sunday trading. Dismissed. . • PF.F.SEATATfON OF LTFE FROM: SHIPWRECK.—A meet ing of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was held on Thursday, at its' house, John-street, Adelphi; Sir Edward Perrott, Bart, V.P., in the chair. Mr. Lewis, the secretary, read the minutes of the previous meeting. A reward of £5 2s. was paid as exposes on the Aln mouth lifeboat. A reward of £2,1.55. was voted to the crew of the Shoreham Harbour lifeboat. Rewards amountitig to £39 were also voted to the crews of the institution's lifeboats stationed at Newhaven, Brighton, Camber, Eoulmer, and Seaton Carew. The silver medali of the institution was voted to Gunner Leese, and £2 to Corporals D. Bannister and Allan Kay, in acknow ledgment of their gallant conduct. Payments amount ing to £455 having been made on various lifeboat establishments, the proceedings closed. LAUNCH OF THE HALCYON. . Scarcely three months have elapsed since we announce! the launch of the magnificent iron steamer Ibis, from thc Cdrk Steardship Company's building yard. That steamer has since, during two trips to Newport, and as many to London; realised to the fullest ntelit, the high expectations formed of her, both as to her speed and sea , worthy qualities—the passage to Ply moutli on her last trip being the quickest on record, and having been accomplished in the unprecedentedly short period of twenty hours. It now becomes our pleasing duty to record the addition of another handsome iron steamer to the already numerous and efficient fleet of the Cork Steamship Company. The launch of the Halcyon took place on Wednesday evening from the building yard of the Messrs. Robinson, on the Lower Glatimire-road. . Although the launch of an iron steamer is not now, we are happy to say, so great a: novelty In Cork as formerly, yet, the natural curiosity to Witness the inauguration of a fine vessel will always secure the attendance of a large number of persons on such an occasion. The recent change for the better in the Weather was also not without its influence, and accordingly, at the hour appointed, a very large concourse had assembled on the opposite por tion of the Navigation Wall, the adjacent yards and buildings being crowded, and the surface of the water enlivened by the presence of numerous boats. As usual on all such occasions, the new vessel was gaily decorated with flags, &c., and with het new coat of paint and fresh gilding bad a beautiful appearance. At five o'clock every preparation having been made, and the ceremony of christening been gone through with all due solemnity by Miss Leycester, daughter to our respected fellow-citizen, Wm. Leycester, Esq., the Halcyon glided majestically into the element which is destined to be the field of her future fortunes, amidst the cheers of several hundred spectators. The Halcyon has been built by contract, by the Messrs. Robinson, from the designs, and under the inspection of Mr. Creighton, manager of the Cork Steamship Company's Shipbuilding and Engineering Works. The superior manner in which the workman ship has been executed, reflects great credit on the con tractors and their establishment. Her dimensions are as nearly as possible the same as those of the Bittern, so well knoWn for her regular and quick passages to and from London, viz.. 220 feet long, breadth of beam, 28 feet 6 inches, and depth moulded 16 feet 9 inches. She has been built in the most solid and substantial manner, of the very best materials, and double rivetted all through. Her cabins, which are not yet quite completed will be spacious, lofty, and well ventilated, so as to secure the health and comfort of passengers. V The machinery of the Halcyon, which has been in preparation for some time past at the company's works, and is now complete, will be at once placed on board. The engines are direct acting, and of the description called "trunk engines," combining great strength with simplicity of construction and economy of space. The skill displayed in their construction and the workmanlike manner in which they have been finished could not be surpassed by the first establishments in either England or Scotland, and are highly creditable to Mr. Sumner, the experienced foreman of the engineering department, and to his staff. The boilers for the Halcyon are also complete, and deserve special no'ice. They are of the tubular construction, in which the flame, after leaving the furnaces, is, in a manner, wire-drawn through a number of wrought iron tubes, surrounded with water, and every possible degree of heat absorbed before it is allowed to pass off into the funnel. These tubes also contribute mate rially to the safety of the boiler, each one in itself forming a powerful stay. It is quite obvious that the construction of these useful, but 'often dangerous, gene rators of power is a matter which requires the most careful supervision as well as sound judgment, and a thorough knowledge of the strength of the materials and of the best possible manner of applying them. Another specimen of ingenious workmanship in this line may be seen lying on the quay at the company's works, and forms quite a puzzle to the uninitiated as to how it could possibly have been constructed. It consists of a series of doncetitric cylinders of wrought-iron, rivetted together so as to afford alternate spaces for the admix • sion of steam and heated air. This ingenious apparatus was devised by Mr. Creighton for super heating steam before its admission into the cylin der, and has produced highly beneficial and most economical results since its application to the company's boats ; the first effect of its introduction in the Osprey, as we mentioned on a former occasion, being a saving of fuel to the amount of from 20 to 30 per cent., besides a • very decided increase in the speed of the boat. The particular apparatus to which we allude was constructed for a French steamer, named the Bordeaux, which underwent some • repairs at the Cork Company's works some time since, and the proprietbrs were so forcibly struck with the value of the invention, that they imme diately ordered another to be constructed for their own vessel, and to be erected immediately on her return from a foreign voyage. The final completion of the Halcyon will, it is thought, be soon effected, after which she will make her trial trip, which, from the manner in which, on Thursday evening, She walked the waters like a thing et life, will doubtless be quite satisfactory.—Cork, Herald. A Wonn IN SEASON TO TEE LADIES--The esta blishments of the leading milliners are pre-eminently dependent upon the fortunes of the London season. The fates of the producers and consumers of dress are very different during this period. It is not a pleasant thing to think of the contrast between the fortune of the poor girl who sits up all night to work at the ball-dress that it may be sent home in time—and that of the young lady who sits up all night to wear it. Do not let us, therefore, indulge in vulgar sentimentality, and groan over the caprices and selfishness of the queen of the ball-room. If that young person will but give her orders in time, and pay her bill in due season, she is not to be blamed because Madame Ilaradan Jones works short-handed. The real mischief lies in the suddenness of the order, which disturbs the arrangements of Madame 11. J., and in the non-payment of her accounts, which cripples her resources and prevents her from making those arrangements on a sufficiently liberal scale. —Once a Week. THE SAcnr, Cccutt.—On one occasion Louis Philippe and his Queen, then an exile at Claremont, drove over to Roehampton to see the convent of the Sacre Cceur, which had been recently established there by a commu nity of French nuns. This French order of the Sacre Cruet is one of high distinction, and was, in the days of the Bourbons, one of aristocratic exclusiveness. In 1851 the Comtesse de Grammont was, I believe, at the head of the chief house of the community in Paris, and Madame Clifford, sister of the late Lord Clifford, was superioress of the Roehampton branch. The royal visitors, who were incognito, asked permission as strangers to see the convent chapel, and were allowed to go over the whole establishment. The lady nun who conducted them through the house was so amiable and agreeable that the Queen on leaving expressed her extreme satis faction with the admirable arrangements of the commu nityandherpleasure at finding herself once again amongst her good and pious compatriots. " Perhaps," added her Majesty, "you will be interested to know who your visitors are. This gentleman is Louis Philippe —I am the Queen Anielie." The nun, bowing profoundly, replied with a sweet smile—" And I am Mademoiselle Bonaparte." The strange coincidence evidently touched their Majesties, and the Queen could not refrain from giving expression to her surprise at the waywardness of fate which had thus brought together within a convent of the old regime the royal houses of Bonaparte and Orleans. DISSIPATION AND SPICIDE.—WIII. Carter, Esq., cor oner, has held an enquiry at the Spread Eagle Tavern, Pratt-street, Lambeth, respecting the death of George Renshaw, aged 31, a jewel and spectacle case maker, Pratt-street, who was found dead at his own hoise: Mrs. Sarah Pool said that the deceased had been in the employment of Mr. West. Witness went on Monday morning to see her grandchildren. The other daughter did not lodge in the house, but worked there. - When shalenoelced at the door it was opened by a man whci was in possession, and had been so since the previous Wednesday, for debt. She heard when she went to the house that her daughter was from home, and that Mr. Renshaw was upstairs in bed. After some time the wife said to her " Will you go up-stairs, mother, to see to my husband ?" She went up-stairs and found the deceased lying on his stomach on the bed. She exami ned hint and found that to all appearances he was dead. Mr. John Bredhall, M.R.C.S., said that he knew the last witness, who came to his house at No. 3 Morehall place, and asked him to go and see the deceased. He attended immediately, and found the deceased quite dead. There was an empty purse found on the deceased, and a paper containing cyanide of potassium, but no paper relating to his death.—The sister of the widow gave a very melancholy account of the antecedents of the de ceased. Ott the Sunday night she slept in the house with her sister as a protection, as her husband had threa tened to murder her. He was in the constant habit of getting drunk, which brought on repeated attacks of insanity=del tremens—when ho would place a number of chairs in the passage, and would address them as human beings, telling them to march out or he would kill them. About 16 months since he came home, and whilst labouring under an attack of delirium he took a quantity of oxalic acid, when Drs. Sewell and Bredhall attended, and on that occasion he recovered ; but since then he had followed the same course of life, and she had not the least doubt but the deceased committed self destruction whilst in an unsound state of mind, brought on frem drinking and pecuniary difficulties. The learned Coroner summed up, remarking on the deplor able nature of the case, which, according to the evidence of the different witnesses, he said, showed unmistake able and painful proofs that the deceased had been leading a drunken life, and from that cause, in all pro bability, his pecuniary difficulties were oxasioned.— The Jury, after consulting, returned a verdict that the deceased destroyed his own life whilst in a state of in sanity, brought on by excessive drinking and pecuniary difficulties. A MOTHER IN SEARCH OF HER CHILD. -`WONDERFUL ESCAPRFROM A MUR DEROCS MOB. Mrs. Sherwood went to Wicklost to get possession of one of her four kidnapped thifdren, *lio she liad heard, was there in the house of a relative, named fatal. Taking a friend with her; she Went into Farrell's cottage, ed beard from hint and his wife that the boy, about nine yeafs of age, had been with them for the last three months, athi only just gone out after his supper. The Farrells professed to send out to bring in the boy; but when their sham messages aud talk had wasted a considerable time, she went herself and saw the boy at a distance running away, and was told by some women that he had said that he was afraid lest she should put him in jail with - his gra n d, mother, and would not go near her. It was getting late, and the Farrellian diplomacy was giving time to the mob outside to gather, and the signs of coming wrath were already beginning to burst forth. Farrell refused to escort Mrs. Sherwood outside his house, fear ing, as he said, lest the mob outside should wreck his house. He feared to take her and her friend in his boat to the railway station. They tried to go by the pathway along the sea, but descried gatherings of people waiting for them along the road. The moment they left Farrell's house a shrill whistle gave notice, and yells were instan taneously raised. Stones began to fly, and they returned to Farrell's house. Here Mrs. S. became sick, and was deadly pale, and very faint, so as not to be able to ven ture forth again for some time. -When she and her friend next ventured forth by the front door the shouts were raised, and the stones began to fly, and many struck them in the back and limbs. This continued along the way, one man who struck Mrs. S. with a stone in the shoulder was seized by a shopkeeper, who declared he would appear against him. As they proceeded they providentially met Sergeant Collins, who - with singular coolness, decision, and skill, managed to stop the stone throwing, and to keep off the mob until, being joined by other policemen, they reached the barrack ; the assailed , parties were conveyed in safety to the railway station, whence the train was about to start for Dublin. Their lives were saved by the timely aid of the sergeant, who showed by his bearing that he possessed all the sagacity and all the courage which the dangerous juncture called for. Had the Farrels, under the fear of the Court of Queen's - Bench, given up the child, humanly speaking, both Mrs. Sherwood and her hazardous friend must have been torn to pieces - by the furious mob, who evidently had gathered for the rescue; and Dr. Cullen's kidnap ping subjects in Wicklow would have added the crime of murder and manslaughter to the virtue of child stealing, for the honour and glory of holy motherchureh. The ferocity of the Wicklow mob was, perhaps, never matched by any outside the walls of the far-famed Tuam. The annals of the Sherwood case may yet fur nish instances of various traits of Irish life, and Roman Catholic principles and pursuits, which will make many of our neighbours stare at the curiosities of religion and morals here, which still outlive the progress of the age and the steady advance of Christian civilisation. THE WAITER OUTWITTED.—A Lyons thief has hit upon a novel mode of getting out of a scrape. This ingenious person was busily occupied in taking a bundle of clothing in the bedroom of a waiter at a cafe, when the latter entered and caught him in the act. Derby... Kelso ... Before the waiter could collect his scattered senses — with which, by the way, he does not seem to have been. overstocked—the thief said, " I am an officer, and am sent here to search your room and to arrest you." He then took up the bundle which he had completed, and ordered the astonished garcon to follow. When in the street the considerate " officer " said, "I don't wish to expose you in public, so you may precede me a few paces, and no one will know that - I am in your compafiy." In a few minutes, however, this precaution became utterly superfluous, for the officer in possession of coat, waist coat, and pantaloons took an early opportunity of relieving his prisoner at once of his presence and the habiliments in question, by availing himself of the first convenient turning that presented itself. THE Eurrsz Ix SPAIN.—A correspondent of the Star says—ln these days of cheap travelling it is matter of surprise that no , enterprising excursion agent has organised a trip to Santander, to see the approaching total eclipse of the sun. Two years ago hundreds of persons travelled long dis tances to see an eclipse which was not total, bat only slightly larger at the places to which they travelled than at their own homes. the phenomena of an absolutely total eclipse bear no comparison for grandeur with those of an eclipse only nearly total. Few persons new living will have another such chance of witnessing these phe nomena. Satander is less than 600 miles distant from Southampton, so that a steamer leaving the latter port on Saturday, the 14th instant, would arrive in time for the eclipse, which occurs on the 18th. The time of year is just that at which all the world is looking out for- some agreeable excursions. These considerations borne in mind, it can hardly be doubted that the speculation would pay, and it is with a view to remind excursion agents and steam-ship pe prieters of an opportunity of serving both themselves and the public, that I beg the favour of a corner in your valuable columns. THE SEISE.---We have a river with generally five or six feet of water, and in the driest summer hardly ever less than three or four, and this without those improve ments of which its navigation is no doubt susceptible. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that this river i s almost as little known to the steam navigation, from the sea to Paris, as is the Niger or even the Zambesi. There is a sort of vague rumour that a small steamboat does occasionally run from Paris to London and back, as if by way of protest and an attempt to shame those who possess such a river and make so little use of it. But for any great enterprise it is still an unexplored stream, waiting its commercial Livingstone. Already the attention of British capitalists is being directed to this opening. Two schemes have been mentioned. One for running steamers direct from Newcastle to Paris, and back, charged with iron, coal, chemicals, fire-bricks, kc., on one way, and carrying wines and other French produce back. In combination with this plan is the idea of carrying French produce intended for Russia to Newcastle, as an catrepU, whence it may be forwarded • by steamer to St. Petersburg. The other plan men tioned is, the building of powerful towing stearner3 of iron or steel plates, drawing a very shallow depth of water, to serve (like similar vessels on the Indus) for dragging whole fleets of barges from Havre or Rouen up to Paris. In this latter case the coal would have to be unshipped at the former port; but then the barges. might lie alongside the quays at. Paris, and there would be no delay in the return of the steamer.—LWer from Ferris. THE (RIES'S COLLEGE FOR THE GENERAL. EDUCA TION or LADIES.—The annual meeting of the supporters and friends . of this College was held on Wednesday, in the hall of the college, Harley-street, the Bishop of Oxford in the chair. The attendance was numerous, and consisted principally of ladies, including the pupils and their friends, together with the professors. Among others present were the Bishop of New York, Sir J. Lacaita, the Rev. E. P. Eddrnp, the Rev. H. W. Bur rows, &c. The report intimated that no change had taken place in the educational staff of the college since the last annual meeting, and that the council had gained in the Rev. J. Lansdale and the Rev. 11. W. Burrows a valuable reinforcement. The hopes which were expressed in the last report as to the financial prospects of the college have been abundantly fulfilled, and the council : have been enabled to apply a surplus towards the form-r ation of a reserve fund. The committee look with satine. faction on the steady progress which these figures indicate in the attendance of compounders, who, from their entering more entirely than other pupils into the course which the college has marked out for them form, through their numbers, the best estimate of the extent to which the college does its work of raising the education of Englishwomen to a high . standard, and of the degree of public confidence which it has already gained. The committee have been enabled during the past year, without encroaching on the time . due to other studies, to give_ three hours instead of two to the classes in drawing, and the pupils have been provided with a larger supply of casts and models. The result has been that the efficiency of the class-teaching has been very materially increased. Accommodation is now provided for receiving boarders. The library is also, though somewhat defective, a very serviceable addition to the college, and the number of pupils who sub scribe to it is yearly on the increase. )toxt, however, to the charter of incorporation, the most important fact in the past connection of the college is the foundation of scholarships, giving a free education in the college. The first step in this direction was taken by her Majesty, whose interest in the work was shown at an early period by a donation of IMO, and wh o exercises from time to time the right of nominating ':a free pupil. The professors contributed £l,loo' towards the expenses of the charter, and at the cottnsnencement of the separateexistence of the college - gbtained from the council in return the foundation of feur sch o l ars hi ps annually for senior and junior pupils respe c ti ve l y. The Chairman, in addressing the;: pupils present, expressed the pleasUre he felt in saying,a few wor d s f or their encouragement. It was very satisfact or y t o all interested in the prosperity of the institution to find that while many ;other institution s were in pecuniary difficulties,. it.,l particulaz difficulties had been got over, 'read satisfactory surplus obtained. This was due, itk.,l, considerable measure, to the condu9 i t of the professors of the college, in setting apartio,prtion of their annual income to this object. His tordship concluded his address with a refe rence to his own University life, and in a very cordial manner wished that the favours received, the sympathies awakened, and the friendships formed by those hearing him, while engaged in their present duties might con tinue to increase the happiness of their after lives. The adoption and approval of the report were duly moved, seconded, and carried,, and the proceedings ter minated in a Tots of thanks to the chairman. Sporting Aixttnigturt.

It is said that he will be allowed to pass his month's imprisonment in a Maison do Sante, the Government being diiposed to soften the sentence as much as possible." BONES OF GIGANTIC ANIMALS. - The workmen employed in digging stone for the roads in the quarries of La Creuile, near Wormhoudt (Nord), lately found a I quantity of bones of gigantic animals, such as are ordinarily met with in diluvian soils. They have been carefully collected, and will doubtless excite- interest among the members of the scientific congress who, are to shortly assemble at Dunkirk. GENERAL Tom Tuumn.:-:-The renowned Charles Stratton, now 22 years old, commonly known as Gen. Tom Thumb is on an excursion to Modern Athens. Doubtless many thousands will visit this very extra ordinary "specimen" of humanity. Some years ago— it was in the Year 1855, when the General was on a visit to this oily—the Boston, Times incurred his dis pleasure by reporting his marriage with a lady in Bridge water. The little beau wishes it to bo understood that he is still . in the matrimonial market, an. as he possesses a yacht . .and' a last trotting horse, he is an eligible party for a fast young lady -Boston Express. THE LEATHER TRADE.—NO further failures 'of im portance are announced. The Ti»vs remarks that the break-up is simply the result of undue credit having been given to a single firm, which has used a multitude of smaller ones to keep up a constant system of exten sion. - Hitherto the tanners, as a body, have always stood well for prudence and solidity ;. and it is believed that the position of the firms that have avoided specula tion, and carried on only legitimate operations, was never more healthy or independent Chan at this moment. It is said that one of the firms which have failed in con nection with Messrs. Streat4eld and Go. is not expected to pay more than a shillin g in the pound, their chief business for some time past having consisted in accepting bills. The Stirling Journal says It is currently reported that her Majesty and a number of the royal family are to visit this season the Trosachs and Loch Katrine, with a view to enjoy more leisurely than last year the magnificent and romantic scenery of the land of Rode rick Dhu and the Lady of the Lake. Whether there is any truth in the report or not, it is certain that in the beginning of this week a number of Lord Willoughby de Eresby's workmen . fromDrummond Castle have gone to the Trosachs for the purpose of rendering more permanent the works erected last year by Lord and Lady Willoughby de Eresby in honour of her Majesty's visit to the locality, so immortalised by the magic pen of Sir Walter Scott." STABBING BY MISTANE.-11C Frew relates an extra ordinary affair :—A. clerk of the Ministry of Commerce being about to retire on a pension, went three days ago to St. Germain" to inspect a house be contemplated - pni- Chasing, and he dined with a friend. After dinner be and hie friend proceeded to take a stroll .in the prome nade; hut . before they had gone far the friend left him. A few seconds after a man came up, and, without saying &word, stabbed him in the abdomen witha poignard, hurrying away immediately after. The clerk, with the assistance of a workman, leaned against a tree until his friend, for whom he sent, arrived, and he was conveyed to the friend's house, where his wound, which turned out net to be serious, was dressed. At. a later hour he was able to return to Paris. The belief is that the man who stabbed the clerk mistook him for another person ; bd...what is singular is that the attack was made in boa daylight . Inz SOIIII4-EA:STARN RAILWAY AND PILIZE .L!(.t. the Sussex Eastern Session, on Monday, Mr. Beattie Said the court was aware that at the Easter Session ,some discussion arose . in reference to a prize fight; which came off at Etchingham, and that he then pledged himself to bring under the consideaation of the directors' of the South-Eastern Railway Company the transmiesion.of telegraph messages by officers of the peace, and whether they ought not.to have precedence. Up to this time all such messages took their regular turn. Now, however, he was glad to be .able to inform the court the 'directors had directed that all telegraph messages for preserving: 'the peace should rank as a government telegraph, which was one of the exceptions in the' bonniatip. rifles. He mentioned the fact, in order that the court - might see, if such an occurrence were *gain to happen, the company offered facilities for smedy communication with the authorities. • Mhaileicnat:-O,cciTRRrNCE AT ALLOA.—GOTIMOrn Lake, in the immediatd'vicinity of Alloa, and froM which the inhabitants of the town derive their supply of water, has been the scene of a.distressingeient. It this season the beauty of Gortmorn, and its short *ranee from Allott,-induce many young people to visit the 1.4 e and perambulate its banks. Sunday last, the Ist of Jul was so charming a day that not only did numb"cm vistt• the lake, but several young people wer e tempted, inth e ' course of the afternoon tebathe in it. . The consequence was that., out of one group of nine, two boys—llemsley and Kinnear—pupils at the Alloa Industrial Sch oo l were drowned, and their bodies were not recovered till about seven o'clock—three hours after they had en t ere d the water. And while .the boys were drowning at one end of the lake, a carpenter of the name of Donaldson and a boy named Mureie were struggling for thei r li ves at the other end. Mnrrie fortunately succee d e d in getting his foot planted on a stone, which just kept his head partly above water, and there he -stood patiently till a rope was thrown to him, and by this means was sav ed; but Donaldson, the carpenter, was drowned, and his body was not recovered till half-past nine o'clock. The three dead bodies were all conveyed in a cart to Alloa, accompanied by the sorrowing relatives of the cleared, • JAME.S STEWART AND Co., ormt TIIEIR CELEBRATED "J.l" WHISKY, g rears old, at Finest Schiedam lIOLLANDS, Marten's Old BRANDY.
