small powers and truckling to great powers; to diplomatic pugnacity and want •of insight into the real course of the world,—to having cast a nation, whose character and depend on her fidelity to the cause of liberty, at the feet of a tyrant red-handed from the destruction of free institutions, and introduced this tyrant in triumph to the friendship of our Queer!, and to the highest order of English chivalry,—to having on the most vital and critical occasions betrayed not only a miserable lack of sagacity, but a miserable indifference to honour,—to having witnessed, without painful feelings, acts of re iterated perjury, outrageous license, cold-blooded butchery of innocent people—and immediately afterwards to have fraternised with the perpetra tors ;—what is there, we ask, in any man that would operate as a set-off against such bad quali fications and give him pre-eminently and indispu tably the right to dictate his will to the people of England ? Let not our readers start back at our question. At first sight so black a catalogue of deficien cies and transgressions may seem unpardonable, and enough to override . and bury any par ticle of good that possibly could be found in the same wicked and unprincipled individual. But the Saturday Review gives an answer to the question, in a specific manner. The only qualifi-. cations requisite to make even such a man all- Powerful in England at this moment are as fol low :—Cleverness, shrewdness, a strong heart, a vigorous constitution, elasticity at seventy-four years of age, Parliamentary experience and tact, European position, some knowledge of European courts and parties, Conservativism under the guise of Liberalism, and a worse than tardy sus picion of Lot's NAPOLEON-! These are the only good points which can be set off against so many bad ones. These characteristics, good and bad, taken together according to the Reviewer, make up the character of the very fortunate individual Who, at present, is all powerful in England ! Such an one the English nation has unanimously chosen to be its Dictator, whose great duty it is to See 21e quid detrimenti respublica capiat— that the State paises safe through a great crisis. So devoted is the country to his supremacy, and so confiding ifthis magical power to protect it, that it cares not a 'pin for the absolute failure of his measures, provided he keeps office. There may be superior men about him, but they may all go to the right about any day they like, with out in the least injuring the power of this resus citation of an old Roman Dictator. We might Weep aside the Constitution and suspend the laws, still all.would be well with us while this great l and good man continues to hold the helm of State. Perish the ordinary trammels of party and the ordinary liabilities of party government, second DANIEL has come to judgment! . . We have not yet mentioned the. name of this great Conqueror ; and we confess to a feeling of reluc tance to break the charm. When we name Lord PALMERSTON as the idol before whose polluted shrine so much fulsome adulation has been spread by the Saturday Review, some of our readers may stare with incredulous amazement, while others may roar with laughter at the absurdity of the notion ; but we have no other alternative than to state the fact. What although this septuagenarian dictatorship ,has the disadvantage of belonging, in all its ideas and sentiments, to a past genera tion ? What although the Dictator does not understand the great moral forces which are transmuting before our eyes the whole order of the. civilised world? Does it matter that this oracle does correspond to the epoch in which we live ; or that, in this age of Free-trade and com mercial reciprocity, he is still dreaming of the conquering and protectionist days of CHATHAM ? Are we to grumble because his commercial intrigue with the • Emperor, styled the French Treaty, proves his. inadequacy to deal with so selfish and subtle an ally ? With all his errors and his shortcomings, and his want of principle and astuteness, and his obsoleteness of ideas, 'What danger have we to apprehend from an old age so blooming and vivacious as that of our noble PREMIER ? Does not every instinct of our nature call upon us, as a nation, to accept and applaud Lorcl PALMERSTON'S temporary ascend ancy as the only possible saviour of the English People ? . It were only an insult to the common sense and intelligence of our readers to attempt any fierions refutation of these mendacious and even self-contradietory statements of the Saturday Review, in its most recent attempt to bolster up this political wizard, whose fame and position are based upon the shallowest and most apparent trick s of jugglery. His temporary ascendency as all the world knows, the result of an organised hypocrisy and faetious coalition, Which is, destined speedily to fall to pieces from its own want of coherent power. If there lives one man who, more than another, is chargeable with the pressure of a great peril, Which the people of England deeply feel, that Mari is Lord PALMERSTON. If that be a neces sary quittificatiOn for the statesman who is to see nz througfi the great crisis, then assuredly Lord PALMERSTON i 4 most fit for the task. To some readers this white-washing of Lord PALMERSTON by the Saturday Iteriew,—which enjoys a repu tation for independent judgment and impar tiality,—may seem inexplicable. There is, how 7 ever, an easy explanation. Let, it be kept in `clew that the . same writer has systematically traduced Mr. DISRAELI, and not spared even Mr. GLADSTONE --both rivals of the aged Premier. laid PALMERSTON, like his friend and host of Compeigue, does not despise the i nfluence of the press ; —vity, therefore, should not he also have his organs, and why should not the Saturday Review be one of them ? We know no reason why it should not be so—only let it be understood that, in political matters at `fast, the Saturday Review is no longer entitled to the aonourable position of an independent and I rAPartial journal, having in these latter days desce n d e d to the grade of a sycophantic follower 4 nd interested worshipper of " the judicious 13ettleholder." POREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sept. 25. - . The official Gazette of Turin contains a notification of t he blockade of t'he harbour and fortress of Ancona; and th e,_ Sardinian Government intimate s at the same time at whilst the war continues it will scrup ulousl y observe nt he principles of maritime law sanctioned by the Con gress of Paris, in its sitting of the 15th April, 1856. According to. the Gazette of Milan, the Austrian ° overnment has interdicted the passage upon Austrian territory of carriages and diligences, which were going Itc h% Milan to Mantua, by Cremona. ; and another t'ornal states that for some day s p ast workmen have been engaged in forming a line of telegraph, which, tra- All ing the Roman States, is to unite Civita Ducale ' w ith the Neapolitan lines. On the 24th the telegraph was in operation as far as Macerata. These operations ar e, conducted at the expense of the Sardinian Govern .lll.l and will doubtless be found an immense conve- The siege of Ancona is being ener g eticall y carried on. 1 4 , -`; appears that General Fanti , the commander-in-chief 43 ` the Piedmontese troops in the Roman States, after having effected a junction with the corps of General eialdini on the day after the battle of Castelfidardo, has ! s tablished his head-quarters at Loretta. He is to direct horn thence his operations against Ancona, which can hardly be expected to be long unsuccessful. The intelligence received yesterday regarding the a;m int alleged to exist b etween Garibaldi and ; m int Cavour was of a more unfavourable character u all it has yet been. To such a height is this di scord , said to have attained, that a corps of 4 )000 men happening to be at present at Genoa, 'without their destination being known or declared, a Is L ePc _ on Tt was spread th a t the troops composing A were to u : ireeted by a sudd en mo v em ent the coast of Sicily, In order t o repeat there, against the Di c tator personally, the Mme 14111 e deCiSiTC WWI 9f active iiligfergilgt taken by the Sardinian Government in the case of the Roman States, when its troops suddenly entered and took ...possession of the Marches and Ombria. This is merely a rumour, as I have said, but it is an ugly one ; and if it should happen to be realised, it would of course con vert the present misunderstanding into an open and irre mediable rupture between the two main supports of Italian unity, and lead to the complete annihilation of the man who has done as much as all Other men put together Tor the promotion of Italian nationality. The Legitimists and clerical organs seriously announce a return to an offensive attitude on the part of Francis 11., and they estimate his effective force at 60,000 good and faithful troops. This is simply ridiculous; at the same time, matters are not going quite so smoothly at Naples as altogether to forbid the more san guine and . desperate of his friends from striking another blow, in a reactionary sense. The reduction of Capua and Gaeta would afford some little occupation also for theGaribaldians, to whom a life of inaction is insupportable, and who do not all possess the same noble-minded principles, nor are influenced by the same unselfish motives, as their gallant leader. A letter from Naples, dated the 18th, states that on the evening previously, Garibaldi, before setting off for Palermo, where he had found his presence to be abso lutely required; had issued seven decrees, nominating a !lumber of persons to several offices, and depriving others of their situations, which do not all appear to be giving satisfaction. He has made an entire change, for example, in the administration of the Museum—an institution which in Naples possesses the greatest interest and importance from the interesting nature of its treasures and its labours. Alexandre Dumas, sen., now occupies, it seems, one of the Royal Palaces, and hunts in the King's Park, during his Majesty's absence at Gaeta ; and without having undergone the process of naturalisation, he has been appointed to preside over the whole of the Museums in Naples as well as the diggings of Pompeii, with' the title of " Director-General of Museum and Excavations." Gavazzi also is in office, or the next thing to it ; and Mazzini continues to carry on his abominable secret plottings as usual. Truly the Dictator has a very indifferent set about him at present, and unless he makes it up with Count Cavour, and borrows 20,000 or 30,000 Sardinian troops, to help him to maintain his; authority, it is more than doubtful whether he will be able to hold his own. The fact is, the formal annexation to Piedmont can no longer be delayed, and if there are any conditions yet• to be adjusted between him and Victor Emmanuel, they must be settled afterwards. His friend Bertami expresses himself as greatly dis. 7 couraged, and talks of his having been betrayed by the Neapolitans. There is nothing for it, therefore, it is quite plain, but to accept King Victor's offer of a visit. in person to put everything to rights. Kossuth has been here for ,some days. It is said that he has found . there is no likelihood of a war between Austria and Piedmont, or of any successful rising in Hungary, and is going back to England. The news from the East is not satisfactory. The Progres d' Orient says that General de Beaufort has sent home a report in which he declares that it will be neces-, sary for the French expedition to remain in Syria for two years at least. Did I not say this would be the case A great many reports are also prevalent, but most of them resting apparently on slender foundation, as to the measures which are to be taken at the Warsaw meeting for the succession of " the sick man." Yesterday an extraordinary, council of Ministers was held at St. Cloud, and the result of their deliberations will probably transpire to-day. The Emperor has been very quiet lately, but he has not been idle. It is asserted that an active enquiry is to be made to discover the author of a 'Bourse snanceu'Sre which was perpetrated at the Bourse.the day before yesterday, by the sending of a forged letter to the secretary of the Exchange, containing a false report that the Austrians had passed the Mincio. The affair was managed in this way :—M. Coin, the " syndic " of the "Agens de Change," received on that day, about 12.30, a letter having the seal of the Minister of State; and containing the following statement : " The Austrians have passed the Mincio, I have just received intelligence of it ; cause this notice to be posted up at the Bourse." These words were followed by a signature which was illegible, but which was evidently intended to pass for that of M. Fould. The syndic had his suspicions, and delayed to post up the notice until he had consulted the Bourse Committee, some one Of whom, it seems, although sworn to secresy, allowed the intelligence to transpire, or had made their own use of it, and the consequence was a fall in the ; prices. A rigid inquiry will probably bring some awkward facts to light, and it seems to' be supposed that some official party is the culprit. The tone of the Bourse continues decidedly better than it has been for some time past, and the rise in price rests on a more solid foundation than on the specu lative transactions of capitalists. Rentes closed yesterday at 68.45. ITALY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) MILAN, September 21. Fuori le bandiere ! Fnori i lumi !! Viva ItalG !!! (Put out your banners ! Light up !!) This has been the continual cry of the municipality to the good citizens of Milan since the departure of the Austrians on the memorable sth of :rune, 1859, and the key note to the ragged little urchins who dance about the city in the twilight of the evenm„o. like so many young cannibalich s, s creaming at the highest pitch of their voices, wh would be at least C sharp in Alt "Fuori i ! !!" The events and the corporation seem determined to with keep up the enthusiasm and excitem ent of the people, out giving them time to sober down and reflect upon the effect produced by all this great chance and rejoicings ; but evidently last night's illumination to celebrate Cial fallingonlynumber off in the number of lights, but al in people in the streets, and this, notwithstanding that the three bands of the corporation were out and marchi airs ng a ll over the town, playing their most popular . People are getting- tired of this continual illumination, not less than once, and sometimes twice, a month since June last year. An English traveller, seeing . the Arch bishop's Palace and the Duomo illuminated, said " How is this—the priests rejoicing at the defeat of the Pope !" I immediately set my friend right, by remarking : on the " the priests are not rejoicing. Those lights up Duomo are not there by order of the priests, or at their expense; they are put there at the expense of the municipality to avoid disorder, and those lights in the windows of the Archbishop's Palace are put there to save the destruction of the same by the mob that would demolish every window in the Palace, not so much for the love of the cause that the people are now cele brating as for their love of mischief and plunder." I further stated to my astonished friend : "Do you see that line of lights along the whole length of the Corso ?" The reply was : " Yes, I do." " Then," I added, " assure you that if the Austrians were to enter the Porta Orientals to-morrow; in the evening of ,the same day you would see the same number of candles outside the same windows; and instead of the Duomo being illumi nated with a few hundred lights at the expense of the mun icipality, the Duomo and every church.in Milan would be a ulaze of lights at the expense of the holy fathers of the Church of Rome." My friend and could scarcely say wore if I were to write a volume on the same subject. Of course the telegram will . have informed your readers of the result of 'the battle at Castelfldardo, the result of which was anticipated by every one, not only in consequence of the splendid strategical position occupied by Cialdini, but the nuraerical superiority of his forces over those of Lamoriciere, who to do them justice, are reported to have foug ht like lions, a nd con sequently made the loss on the side of the Piedraontese rather considerable, but whose report will probably gi,.(e us a second edition of the accou nt of the fight at Perugia, which stated that the resistance of the Papal troops two at Perugia was most desperate and lasted nearly hours, the loss on the part Of the Piedmontese being one (?) killed and 100 wounded, among whom were eight officers. The Piedmootese telegram tells us that this brilliant engagement gave the victory to Cialdini with 600 prisoners, among w h o m were 30 officers and six cannons, one flag, an immense quantity of arms and provisions. The above news arrived on Monday even ing, at ten o'clock. Yesterday, about noon, another telegram brought us the intelligence of the capitulation of Lamoriciers corps, on the 19th instant—the day after the battle—the number being about 4,000 men, six other pieces of artillery, a large quantity of baggage, munition and arms. Cialdini having demanded of the Ring instructions as to the disposition of this corps, was answered to accord the honours of war to all the soldiers a nd officers composing the same, and that those belong ing t o other countries were to be sent at the expense of the Gove rnm ent to their respective' homea. The same , followed by e, small fled from the telegram tells us that Lamoriciere body of cavalry,field of battle, leaving his Piedmontese, and succeeded in of which I believe is a little exaggeration fatats L a rao . r . ici . ~ ,___ T ec iaossess, cowardice is army at the mercy the on the part of the in ivld.erle may penned this despatch.

The army of now be said . entirely in the hands Lamoriciere may exc e pt about 2,000 or 3 000 who of the Piedmontese, ow . , haie fled to the mountains, and about 6,Q00 or 7,000 being surrounded by men who hold Ancona, whi ch Cialdini and Persano, can make but a short resistance. FantPs corps, which two days ago was at Tolentino, and so effected a con arrived yesterday at Macerate, junction with Cialdini, which we must consider as the finish of another page of Italian history, awaiting with the same anxiety as before, the tenr of the events that terminate the history are destined for the blank pages to of this eventful year. I now turn to another subject Which s omewhat casts a gloom over the brilliant aehieve ale nts of the Sar dinian army—l mean the news from Sicily au Td Nurinaplesbut There is not a journal of this city and regards the present position of Sicily, Naples, and Garibaldi's determination with the utmost alarm, and and which state of things is feared will end in anarchy c ivil war. The general is, as I stated a mon th ago, s urrounded by a gang f unprincipled, ambitious, iotism political adventurers, whose flame of burning patr lies in their breeches pockets, and not in their heart s—a set of rank Republicans, who would hurl the kingdom into all the miseries of civil war rather than be foiled in their selfish designs. The Neapolitans see the most important offices of the state usurped by men of the most questionable character and polities, and the noble, generous, confiding, and honest soul of the Dictator cor rupted, poisoned, and led by the fatal counsels of these false friends of the genera and their country. Letters and advice are continually pOurine in from sincere and disinterested friends, imploring Garibald - to use the utmost prudence in his ulterior operations," and 'at once to convoke the elective colleges for the i ' vote immediate ' ediate _ ~ o f annexation; but i t a pp e ars that he s inexorable, and e ntirely governed by the evil spirits that surround him -.—men Who, like at Palermo, i ;•,:,1 e5 , ft,..., revolvers as a weans of cell'fillcing a PM who (tare* to differ *gni their political view of that policy most adapted to the present position of affairs. Who are the men who now influence every act of the Dictator ; The Republicans Bertani, and Crispi, and by this hour Cataneo. When Garibaldi entered Naples he found that a Republican committee had already allotted themselves the principal offices' of the state. Garibaldi, indignant at this usurpa tion, ordered their immediate prosecution by the crimiaal tribunal, but which process was immediately abandoned on the arrival of Bertani, Crispi, and other Republican emissaries, into whose hands Garibaldi may be said to have entirely fallen. The conduct of the general is most embarrassing. Among his recent appintments is Carlo Cataneo, a man universally known for his hostility to the House of Savoy, and his extreme republican principles. Nevertheless ' this man has been summoned to Naples, and is to be ap pointed by Garibaldi as his representative at Lon don, it is therefore right that the English should know something about this Neapolitan Ambassador and the character of the man who is to fill so important an office. To accomplish this task I cannot do better than give you an extract from an article of the Unione of this city, in reference to this appointment :—" Garibaldi has nominated Carlo Cattaneo to the Neapolitan Legation at London, and two days after summons him to his side as general Secretary. So that we are left in doubt which of the two offices will be selected by Cataneo. Garibaldi proclaims Victor Emmanuel and his successors King of Italy, and Carlo Cattaneo is a little volcano of hatred against the House of Savoy. Carlo Cattaneo will riot listen to the unity of Italy, his policy being for a confederation." The Unione continues its theme by telling us that Cattaneo is a man capable of the basest actions, and the most shameful libels against most re spectable persons which are published in his work entitled "l'Archivio Triennale." This is a sample of of the men who are to direct the destinies of Italy, and represent the revolutionary movement as its accredited representative at London. It will scarcely be believed that many of the munici palities of Lombardy have got up and signed an address expressive of their Unbounded confidence in Garibaldi, and wishing the presept and future destinies of Italy to be solely confided to the direction of Garibaldi. The municipalities of Milan and Bergamo have very properly refused to affix their seal to this monstrous address. Is Garibaldi to usurp the power of King, Parliament, and people, especially when we see by whom he is at present surrounded ? But this is another cunning move of the Republican party. 1 shall be obliged to return to this subject my next, it being now post hour, having only time to send you the letter which is given by the Opinione Nationale, as a faithful copy of Garibaldi's to Victor Emmanuel Sire,—Dismiss Cavour and Farini. Give me the command of a brigade of your troops. Send me Pallavicino as Pro-Dictator, and I comply with all.—Garibaldi." The same journal reports that the King has replied to this laconic and somewhat despotic note, but it does not give the purport of the reply. L AIEST NEWS. (BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIQ TELEGRAPH.) FRANCE. PARIS, Sept. 25. The Constitutionnel publishes an article, signed by M. Boniface, on the influences which urge the Pope to leave Rome. The Constitutionnel says, a very near future will apprise us whether these influences will be victorious. The same journal says, it is unreasonable to a* that France should declare war against Sardinia. France will not extend her intervention beyond Rome. Were she to do, otherwise she would render herself sus pected to Europe and odious to Italy. The Con stitutionnel, in conclusion, expresses the hope that the Pope may resist the counsels which are given to him through the hatred of France. PIEDMONT. The loss of the Piedmontese at Castelfidardo amounted to 1,000 killed and wounded. SARDINIA. The Minister of Public Works at Turin is negotiating with an English company for a line of steamers from Genoa to Naples. THE BOMBARDMENT OF ANCONA. A few details have arrived of the bombardment of Ancona. It began on the 18th, and lasted nine hours. Six frigates opened their fire against the mole and the citadel, both of which returned it vigorously, but without causing much damage to the ships except in the rigging. The operations of the fleet , were then suspended until General Cialdini could establish his siege batteries: which, according to the latest report, had effected a breach. The place was expected to he assaulted very soon. GARIBALDI'S VISIT TO SICILY. Garibaldi's unexpected visit to Palermo took place on the 17th. He addressed the people from the palace windows, and said that if he had adopted too hastily the policy of those who urged annexation, he should never have crossed the Straits and restored' 7,000,000 of men to Italy ; they would, he said, have prostrated us at the feet of diplomacy, which would have bound us hand and foot. He concluded by avowing his love to Italy and Victor Emmanuel. The General re-embarked at dusk for Naples, preNiously to which he issued a proclamation, which contains the following passages :—" At Rome, people of Palermo, we will proclaim the Kingdom of Italy. As long as there are chains to be broken in Italy I will follow my coursQ, or bury my bones there." LETTER OF KOSSUTH TO GARIBALDI. The rumour is not confirmed that a corps of 5,000 men has been sent from Leghorn to take possession of Sicily, and proclaim the immediate annexation of the island. This would be an open breach with Garibaldi. It is stated that Kossuth has written to the Dictator, urging him 1.0 act in concert with Victor Emmanuel and his Cabinet, in whose hands is the salvation of Italy—to take no step aga i ns t Rome, for fear of irritating France ; and to abstain from agitating Hungary at present, because the country is not ready. AUSTRIA. A Vienna despatch, dated Tuesday, says that in the previous day's sitting of the Reiehsrath the discussion of constitutional reforms was resumed. STATES OF THE CHURCH. PERUGIA, Sept. 24, evening. The column of Gem Massi and the Chasseurs of the Tiber have entered Civita Castellano., and occupied the fortress. Sixty of the garrison were made prisoners. Capt. Ducci has arrived at Toseanella. He will occupy Cometo this even ing, the French having left that town and taken the road to Civita Vecchia. Great enthusiasm prevails among the population. ROME, Sept. 23. The Pope has sent to inquire the intentions of the Emperor Louis Napoleon in reference to the Roman States. The purport of the Emperor's reply is not known, but his Majesty is said to have mentioned that France had not allowed Spain to interfere in favour of the Pope. Some free corps have arrived within thirty-four miles of Rome. Frascata and Albano have been occu pied by the French. In the combat at Monte fiascone 70 Pontifical soldiers were killed and wounded ; eight Irishmen are among the dead. Frasinone and Velletri are tranquil. No news has been received from Gen. Lamoriciere. Great consternation prevails at Rome. 1 THE " GLOBE" ON ITALIAN AFFAIRS. The Globe is of opinion that, if the Neapolitan Royalist army will stand and fight, Capua is a first-rate position. It is fortified and armed with heavy artillery, stands upon the River Volturne, and is garrisoned by 15,000 men. Gaeta cannot be taken until Cana has fallen. Frorgi its vicinity to Naples, Capua is a standing menace to the new order of things. At Gaeta and Capua the King has probably 40,000 troops. CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES. LONDONDERRY, Sept.. 25. .

Paris that the Italian part of Lamori ciere's army abandoned him early in the action. It is believed that steps were really taken to secure an invitation for the Emperor Napoleon to the Warsaw interview, though the invitation is now disavowed. The antagonism between Garibaldi and the Piedmon tese Government. is still maintained, but doubts are expressed by the correspondent of the Times whether all that is taking place is not according to a programme previously arranged by Count Cavour.

AND MRS. • GERMAN REED AND MR. JOHN PARRY. We beg-to remind our readers that Mr. and Mrs. German Reed give a morning performance to-day, and thatit is the only one they are to give during their short visit. Mrs. German Reed, though still suffering last night from a cold, did wonders in spite of it; her anxiety not to disappoint the audience at times, indeed, seemed to be on the very verge of enabling her to conceal her evident indisposition altogether. Mr. John Parry, with his proverbial good nature, sup plied her unavoidable omission of several of the songs belonging to her ride by singing some of his own unap proachable songs and medleys instead. A full lustrum has elapsed since we had the privilege of being present, at this gentleman's own entertain ments, but this comparatively long interval has not sufficed to obliterate iu the least our recollection Of the impression made upon us on these occasions by his inimitable representations of character, his admi rable acting, and the almost unequalled variety and excellence of his singing—he has come back to his numerous friends and admfrers, matured, not weakened, and he has brought with him the same powers of pleas ing, the same faculty of delighting, for which he was formerly so pre-eminently distinguished. Tickets for all the performances are to be had, we may also again mention, at the piano -forte emporium of the Messrs. Smith, in. Lord-street, where a plan of the Concert-room will also be found, and a choice of seats secured, and also at Messrs. Dreapers', Bold-street. We should recommend an early visit for this purpose. AMERICAN MAILS. —The Liverpool New York and Philadelphia Steamship Company's screw steamer City of Baltimore, Captain Petrie, will sail this day for N ew York. To-morrow the Montreal Ocean Steamship Company's screw steamer North Britain, Captain Bor land, will sail for Quebec and Montreal with the Canadi an mails. The letter-box will close at 1 p.m. ; letters_ can be sent via Londonderry up to 9 30 p.m. THE FANCY BAZAAR.—The fancy bazaar in aid of the funds of the Presbyterian (St. Peter's) Church w as continued yesterday. The weather was delightful, an d large numbers of ladies and gentlemen visited th e Assembly-rooms in the course of the day. The f a i r vendors used every one of their arts, and succeeded i n abstracting a considerable amount of money—what pick pockets !—from the portemonnaies of the rougher se x . On Monday the stun of £l2O was tealised. DEATH OF MR. R. A. STEFITENS, OF BIRVINQ. HAM.—Many of our readers will share the regret with which we announce the death of this gentleman, so long the Chief Superintendent of the Birmingham police force. He died on Monday morning at his residence in Bath-row, after only four day's illness, pleurisy havin g supervened upon a severe cold caught in the course of last week. For a long series of years Mr. Stephens was a most efficient servant of the public, and even lat terly he maintained the force in a good state of disci pline.—Birminghon Daily Post. GARIBALDI EXCURSIONISTS.-.—OR Monday last the remainder of the excursionists who had volunteered to serve under Captain Hampton at Naples, or wherever their services might be required, to assist the Liberator of Italy, left the Lime-street station. Amongst the number were two of the Liverpool police, who, having tendered their resignations as members of that fOrce, and being refused by the chief constable, afterwards forwarded their uniform to the authorities, and left with the other excursionists. TUE ABORMINES PROTECTION Socrerr.—At tho Tuckerman Institute, last night, a meeting was held on behalf of the Aborigines Protection Society. Th e attendance was exceedingly small ; and it was not thought advisable to enter into lengthy particulars o f the 'state of the native tribes of English colonised coun tries. The chairman, Mr. J. Abingdon, and Captai n William Kennedy, the well-known commander of Lady Franklin's private expedition into the Arctic Regions, briefly put before the audience the objects, the expe_ riences, and the success already gained by the new society which they represented. A meeting will be held again, to-night, at the Temperance Hall, Renshaw street. GRAND FETE AND MELANCHOLY . ACCIDENT AT STOCKPORT.--The anniversary of the opening of the beautiful Vernon Park, Stockport, was celebrated o n Monday by a grand Pte, the laying . of the foundation stone of an observatory, the ascent of innumerable small balloons, and one monster, called the Prinee of Wales, carrying Professor Lythgoe ; and the evening closed with a grand display of fireworks. The day was ol9served as a strict holiday by all classes, all the shops and places of businesss were shut, and the mills were also closed. Unhappily, at night, the market-place being thronged lay great crowds of people assembled to witness the dis play of fireworks, a rash took place down the steep streets leading thence, and in consequence a number of women and. children were forced down and trampled upon. Seven persons were killed and four seriously injured. AN ADVERTISEMENT COLLECTOR AND A NEWS PAPER PROPRIETOR.—At the County Court, yesterday, Mr. Wm. Logan, advertisement collector, summoned Mr. Thomas John Ouseley, the proprietor of the Liver pool Herald, for the sum of £8 Bs. 9d., being the balance of an account for commission upon advertisements collected for that publication. The plaintiff, who was formerly con nected with the Herald, but is now engaged on the Daily Times, was represented by Mr. Blackhurst, and the defendant by Mi. Cross, Before the case was entered upon, the latter applied for an adjournment, on the ground that the service was not legal, as the de fendant lived in the Isle of Man, and was desirous of pleading a set-off. Mr. Blackhurst objected, as the defendant's manager (Mr. Swan) was in attendance. The Court consented to an adjournment, the defendant paying the costs, which was done. On Saturday evening last a distressing accident hap pened to a Mrs. Hoffe, a respectable widow lady residing with her son, Mr. Georg e H o ff e, i n Love -l ane , near the Antelope Cricket Ground. It is supposed that she fell against the grate in a fit,- as latterly she had been sub ject to them. An inquest was held on Monday afternoon on the body by Mr. Coxwell, the borough coroner, when a verdict of "Accidental death" was returned. Mrs. Hoffe was the widow of a surgeon who practised for ` rim y , years at Iwerne Minster, in Somersetshire. She Was in her 85 th year. THE BROUGH MEMORIAL. SECOND AMATEUR PERFORMANCE, TaST EVENING. If Liverpool has reason to feel proud of having wit nessed the earliest literary efforts of the late Mr. R. B. Brough; Liverpool has also reason to congratulate itself on having contributed the materials for one of the best amateur performances it was ever our lot to wit ness, in aid of the fund on behalf of his widow and children. The late performance of the members of the Liverpool Literary and Dramatic Society, and the Lon don Savage Club, proved such a decided success that those who were unable to witness the splendid bur lesque of the " Forty Thieves" upon that occasion, and many others who were desirous of seeing:the far-fatned lite rary members of the Savage Club, joined in the call for a second performance. So Mr. Charles Millward, the able director, appealed to the members of the Savage Club, who at once yielded to his request, as they had to a similar application from Manchester, and especially as the members of the Liverpool Literary and Dramatic Society were ready (as they always are) to come for ward in the cause of any well-deserved charity. The performance commenced with Sheridan's unrivalled comedy of the " School for Scandal," 'the characters being represented by members of the Liverpool Literary and Dramatic Society. We had the pleasure of wit nessing the society's performance of this splendid comedy on a previous occasion, and we have much pleasure in stating that the " School for Scandal," as represented by them last evening, was one of the greatest successes which that society ever achieved. The Sir Peter Teazle of Mr. Robert Crompton was a masterly performance,—in fact, superior to many professionals of the present day. The Charles Surface of Mr. R. B. Cummins received that approbation which it so well deserved. As on former occasions, this gentleman was eminently successful in the part allotted to him, and at the end of the fourth act he was loudly called for, to which he responded, accompanied by Miss Laura Gray and Mr. Robert Crompton. The character of Moses found an able representative in Mr. George Meyrick, who looked and acted the part in such a manner as to call forth the repeated applause of the audience. The part of Trip, by Mr. A. T. Haddock, was an excellent piece of acting; the little he had to do was well done, and his make-up was superlative. The character of Sir Oliver Surface was rendered in a most efficient and praiseworthy manner by Mr. F. Clarke. The part of Careless, by Mr. Nuttall, is also deserving of mention. Sir Benjamin Backbite was played by Mr. W. Crompton, and Snake by Mr. Mercier. What shall we say of the Lady Teazle of Miss Laura Gray ? We never saw this character more ably sustained on any previous occasion. This beautiful and accom plished young lady certainly achieved a great triumph in the performance of this difficult character. She was magnificently dressed; and her splendid delineation of Lady Teazle will long be remembered by all who witnessed this admirable performance. The number of high-class characters which this accomplished young lady has undertaken during the year—the only year of her performances in this town—and in every instance with increased success, warrant our anti cipation that she will take a very high positioa in the professiOn. Mrs. Candour, Lady Snecrwell, and Maria were also performed by members of Mr. Copeland's dramatic company. After the performance of the " School for Scandal," the following address was effectively spoken by the author, George Augustus Sala, Esq.:— In triumph comes the Hero of the Day—. Strong in the council, strong in the fray; See lit his car the conqueror—not the slave; See o'er his head the silken banners wave; Hear the loud trumpet's clanging blast proclaim The grandeur of his exploits and his name. He comes ! He comes ! his brow with laurel crowned ; Behind his chariot captive kings are bound. The town his advent surges forth to greet, Maidens strew flowers 'neath his horse's feet : The rev'rend senator and holy,priest Are proud to sit beneath him at the feast ; The peasant leaves his plough, the dame her bower, To hail with shouts the Caesar of the hour. Yes; Fame and Fortune now are in his hands. Who help'd to win them? Yonder strong limb'd bands, The well bronz'd legions tramping slowly by, Who march'd with him to conquer or tO die— Some have return'd unconquered, now, to share In ev , ey gift our gratitude can spare. At such proud moments darts there through one head One transient thought of one poor conscript, dead ? Of yonder pale fac'd well nigh beardless boy, Whom nature seem'd to rear but to destroy? He fought and bled. His valour help'd to swell The glorious triumphs Cmsar bears so well. Now his cold corpse in some dark trench is laid, Or sleeps beneath some hedg'row's pitying shade. Too weak to cope in conflicts rude and rough, So thousands die, and so died Robert Brough. He was our conscript : folaght the fight for years— Fought it in sickness, poyerty, and tears; Till heaven was pleas'd his spirit to release, And hush those troubled waters into' peace— To still that heart and sheath that dinted sword, To break the bowl" and "loose the silver cord," He was our conscript : fearless in the strife, And patient in that long disease—his life. He drew the glaive for justice, honour, truth ; He fell a vet'ran, though in years a youth. He mov'd your mirth—nay, sometimes, too, your tears : lip wore your harness, bore your shield for years. Ills wit and fancy, brought him nought but bread. Your soldiei• yet deserves a mite, though dead. The conscript's widow weeps, his children mourn ; 'Tis yours to help the feeble, the forlorn. Ile never sought a mean or base reward ; Ile never erav'd the bounty of my lord. We crave it now. For alms we humbly sue; We hinge the knee, we bow the head, to you. We ask your charity. Not for ourselves— I He needs it not who sternly digs and delves. , But can those babies work? Can yon poor girl Battle with life, its warfare and its whirl' ' With few misgivings do we greet you here, We are in Liverpool, and have no fear As to the great result; for sorrow's tale Hath ne'er in Liverpool been known to fail. Ladies and gentles, we are in your hand, Upon your pitying hearts we take our stand, , Grant us your sympathy, your voices too. Bear with us kindly. Think that all we do To Win your praise, to deprecate your bl ame , Is humbly done In friendship's sacred name. Mr. Leicester Buckingham shortly afterwards followed in a lighter vein, and gave us the following as the pro logue to the " Forty Thieves :" Two or three sentences, with your good leaves, Ere you pass one upon the " Forty Thieves," Who in a w inding-up act now propose To bring this joint-stock business to a close. The rumour runs---and each of us believes in it-- A joint-stock company with forty thieves in it, Who may all act with more or less rascality, Cannot lay claim to much oeginality; And this deponent positively swears That every one who has in our's ta'en shares, Paid for them but in joke---and yet feels certain--- lie can't be called on---save before the curtain--- And afterelap he has no cause to dread ; Our liability is limited. Too limited, I fear youinay reply, IR onr ability—without a lie. No matter. In this desp'rate speeulatioa We did not seek the "bauble reputation," Nor our own nests to feather do we aim ; To succour others is our "little game ;" And, should we find we've played it well to-night, We can be but transported---with delight. Atrocious punsters ! villanous jest breakers ! We laugh the dull old dictionary makers' Abuse to scorn. Admit the fact, and mock it. The men. who made these puns would pick your pocket, , And don't mind getting two months with hard labour. Like this again, to lido a needy neighbour. Boldly we say, Friends, countrymen, and lovers ! Lend us your hands. Though pledged to Gallic glovers, You'll grant, we're sure, as patriotism bids, •- Some small protection to poor English kids. By you, we trove, sirs, will the hors be breeched ; The ladies for the girls shall be beseeched. Petticoat influence was always great, And, judging by the petticoats of late, W e ma y presume, without being offensive, Such influence was never more extensive . Hear us, ve beauties, then, in box and stall, Come with a hoop, stud kindly at our call, From your vast superfluity let fall Some drapery for those who've none at all. Though, iron-bound, your garments may not yield, our hearts by fashion never can be steeled, And you can aid us, without impropriety, In the wide circles of your sweet society. Don't frown, for we are serious, we protest, There's many a true word maybe spoke in jest : We've double meanings, but uo double dealin gs , And though We play on words, we don't on feelings. The charity which smoothes misfortune's pillow We hope will cover every peccadillo, And save the thieves who shall, in crambo verses, Cry " Open Sesame" to cram-full purses. When we can screen one shorn lamb from sharp weather Rang us, if we don't always hang together I , With regard to the burlesque of " The Forty Thieves," it was much better represented upon this occasion than the last. There were several changes in the actors this time, but, as before, they were richly racy in their respeetive parts. The burlesque was enjoyed immensely, notwithstanding the excruciating puns with which it abounds. The members Of the Loudon Savage Club and the Liverpool Literary and Dramatic Society are deserving of the greatest praise, for so nobly comb* forward in aiding a cause which is so well worthy of our support, namely, that of the widow and children of the late R. B. Brough. W e have not been able to ascertain the amount of the receipts. LIVERPOOL PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY, As we announced yesterday; the Philharmonic Society gave a concert last night, at which Mad'lle Tietjens, or Titiens, was the only lady vocalist, Signori Giuglini, Valsovani, and Vialetti were the male singers. Spohr's beautiful symphony in D commenced the programme ; hut, beautiful as it is, it fell tie upon the audience from their want 9f acquaintance with it. "A te, o cara" opened the vocal portion of the concert, and was well received, Mad'lle Titiens and Signor Giuglini were in good voice, and the quartett sung well together, Weber's brilliant chorus of Gypse, " Now all that love daylight," followed with great success, and then Signor Vialetti sang in Italian words the song from " Martha," in praise of English ale, which was enthusiastically encored, as it justly deserved. We feel it almost superfluous to praise this fine singer, for we can only repeat what we have said of him before-- he never fails. Signor Giuglini and Mdlle. Titiens next gave the duet from " Lucia di Lammermoor," " Sidla Tombs, " which produced a recall, but not a repeat. Hatton's four-part song, " Come live with me, and be my love," afforded a relief to the principals, and pleased the audience. Signor Giuglini then sang " Spirit° Gentil," we can only say as usual. Wile. Titiens sang Mozart's expressive song "Non mi dir," from Don Giovanni, better than we have heard her sing before, but still without sufficient refinement and passion. She has power, but not soul ; facility, but not deli cacy. She was encored in Flotow's arrangement of the " Last Rose of Summer," which she sang i n English as well as if were "to the native manner lion." Signor Valsovani was the novelty of the evening, and he sang a French romance of no great character very well; he has a fine voice, and considerable power of execution; but we should like to hear him in something more important before we give any . decided opinion of him. He appeared a little uncertain in his . pitch occa sionally. The hall was very well filled ; and the' hand and chorus did their part most satisfactorily. an Tues day next there will be another subscription concert, when Madame Grisi, Male, Orvil, Signor Mario, and Signor 'allay, wilt Aiipeki; SAILORS' BOARDING-HOUSE' KEEPERS, Last evening there was a meeting of persons engaged in the business of sailors' boarding-houses, held in the South Bethel-rooms, Salthonse Dock. The object of the meeting was the licensing of boarding houses, a subject that has engaged the attention of the respectable boarding-house keepers for some time past. There was a numerous and respectable attendance present. We have lately published the proceedings of a meeting held .in the Caledonian Hotel, Duke-street, on this subject, and also a summary of the proceedings of an interview that took place between a deputation appointed at that meeting, and the representative of the Board of Trade in London. The latter board was very favourable to theproposition of having licenses granted to the boarding house keepers under the terms already stated. There had, since that time, been got up two petitions in favour of the movement—one from the shipowners and mer " chants of the town, the other from the boarding-ho Use keepers themselves.—The chair was taken by the Rev. W. Folliott. The CHAIRMAN then addressed the meeting and ex spal il ai o n m ed n t h e o i o b r i e ' e s c p t e s o , ts w h an i c d h owsoerfeo for the e the n b e e fi n t efi o t f otfhtohs those who boarded and lodged them whilst on shore. He eulogised the work of the sailors, and contended that they we r t e h p e l m un . d e l r t e d w a b s y a u npr i high n et h p o l n e o d u w r r t e o t c t h h eesNhosur rounded y boarding house keepers to have come forward in this move ment for the protection of the sailors and them selves. (Hear, hear.) The boarding-house keepers were deserving of credit ; and, whilst advocating their .own rights, they were serving the poor sailor, for they did not rob the sailor, whilst they received proper remu neration for their outlay. (Hear, hear.) He then called on the secretary of the body, Mr. Rooney, to read the memorial to the Board of Trade, which that gentle man did. Captain HENDERSON moved the adoption of the peti tion. He said Captain Brown, of the Board of Trade, had stated to the deputation from this town that he would do all in his power to forward the memorial; and be had no doubt they would be successful in their efforts. He had great pleasure in moving the adoption of the petition. The motion was seconded by Mr. Matthew Donnelly, and passed unanimously. The Rev. Mr. &ex then addressed the meeting in energetic terms, and congratulated the assembly on its extent and respectability ; and said he was very glad to find that the boarding-house keepers had been so anxious to place the sailors in a proper position. He was most gratified to find that' so many boarding-house keepers had come forward to join in this respectable movement, and glad to find that they thought their respectability was such as would bear sifting. (Hear, hear.) And he was pleased and delighted to find that so many of them were not afraid to be searched for, nor afraid of the visits of the police. He then went on to show the benefits that would result from the licensing of boarding-houses, both to the sailors and respectable boarding-house keepers, and how " crimps " and dishonourable people would be prevented from fleecing poor Jack. He argued that the object would be gained, for the good all parties, by carrying out the system contemplated. He would rejoice, as all good men - would, at the entire suc cess of the movement, without injury to anyone. The rev. speaker was heartily applauded. The Rev. Mr. MILLER was then called on, and addressed the meeting, as a sailor and a clergyman, and pointed out the benefit that would result, not only to the sailor, but to the respectable boarding-house keepers, from the adoption of the course sought. He was warmly applauded. Mr. HENRY Muanty, the superintendent of the Local Marine Board, was called on by the chairman to address the meeting, and on his presenting himself was loudly cheered. He made a very practical speech, and from his experience his observations were very valuable. He related several anecdotes, and showed how poor Jack was " done." When he came ashore he (Jack) was met by some shark or crimp, and when asked, where are you going ? oh, to so-and-so ; oh, you fool, he is dead, or gone to Lancaster for sobbing his boarders. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Murphy told.several curious and interesting facts of how Jack was robbed, and said. the only protec tion, both for the sailors and the respectable boarding house keepers, was the licensing system, as sought for. by the latter. He alluded to the emigrant runners, and showed how that system had worked well, and con tended that the same system would work well with the honest boarding-house keepers, as it would 'exclude the dishonest from the license, as all would depend upon character. Mr. Murphy then entered into details, and said when Jack was not cheated, he never cheated, and from an honest boarding-house keeper he never had a complaint of Jack. (Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. BUCK complimented Mr. Murphy on his observations, as he was quite disinterested, and trusted his observations would be worked on. M r. THOMAS CARPENTER addressed the meeting, and showed that the only way for protection of all was to have the license granted, as it would put down the black guards, who were now acting as hoarding-house keepers. Mr. Carpenter made some practical and useful remarks, and was very warmly received by the meeting. Mr. ROONEY (being called on) then addressed the meeting, and said that Mr. Bushell had stated that he had no less than eighteen merchants to sign the petition (hear, hear), and now was the time for the boarding house keepers to separate themselves from vile persons who came under that name. He showed the difference between cert.sia parties, and contended that a license was the only way to keep the trade respectable. He showed the vile system practised at present by unprin cipled persons who went under the name of boarding house keepers. He advocated the system of licensing, and said when they had a licensed body they could defy and prosecute dishonest parties. (Dear, hear.) He had the promise of the support of the most respectable merchants and members of parliament; and if the meeting backed him out, no doubt they would succeed against all opposition. After some further observations the petitions were handed round for signature ; and thanks being voted to the chairman, the meeting separated. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.--YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) THE MISFORTUNES OF MISTER FORTUNE.— "THE DUBLIN TRICK." A gentlemanly looking and mannered young man, who gave the name of Nicholas Fortune, was brought up by police officer 75, who said, last night about one, I was in Pembroke place, when I saw the prisoner along with some girls. They were creating a disturbance, and I went to put them away, and the females went, but the prisoner refused to go, aryl I put my hand to him to put him away, when he gave me a foot, and down I went, he saying "that's the Dublin trick for you." Police officer 145 said he saw the other officer and Mr. Fortune in grips, when the former went down ; but he could not tat whether by the Hibernian metropolitan "trick," or the Donnybrook touch•--perhaps it was the peculiar faculty possessed by the "bould soger boy," that is the "hand and foot," which no bir ed can withstand. The young man said, I met the sflicer, and thinking he was a man who I treated a few nights ago, I asked him to have a glass, but he refused, and caught me by the arm, and nearly twisted it out of the shoulder blade. That's a trick a good deal worse than the " Dublin trick ;" but I did not teach him that trick yet. I was not drunk. Mr. Raffles : But two officers swear you struck the policeman. Pris Oner : As to their swearing, they are not particular when they want to do the trick. Mr. Raffles : I fine you 10s. for the assault. The fine was paid, and Mr. Fortune went his way, thinking that he had been badly treated by his great grandfat'aer's eldest daughter, miss -fortune. WINE AGAINST ALE. A young man of respectable exterior, who gave the name of Robert Copeland, and said he lived in Greek-street, was charged for having assaulted a waiter belonging to Deery's Supper Rooms, Lime-street. Police officer 76,5 said the prisoner was given in charge for assaulting the waiter, and he saw him tear the shirt off the man. The waiter said the prisoner entered the rooms, being drunk, and created some disturbance; he was requested to go away, when he assaulted him. Mr. Raffles : Is this a licensed house ? Yes, a licensed eatinghouse. Mr. Raffles : Was the prisoner drunk ? yes, sir. In reply to the charge, the prisoner said, I went into the house to get a glass of ale, and was standing at the when some person s i n t h e gar b of gentlemen, along with some prostitutes, came in an d ca ll e d for wine, and then ordered me away from the counter, a s th e others counter, te Decryr, were spending more money than I was. I enquired why she should act so? And then that fellow there (the waiter) ran at me and pushed me out, and a struggle took place. I was not drunk; I gave my name and address at once, as I knew what I was doing well enough. The Bridewell keeper said the prisoner was drunk when taken to the station. Mr. Raffles : Very wall, I fine him Is. for being drunk. .SHOP LIFTING. Michael Murray, described as a sailor and ship keeper, living at 21, Lower Mersey-view, Bootie, and Mary Murray, said to be his wife, were brought up by detective officers Wilson and Scaife, on a charge of having stolen a quantity of drapery goods from the Liver Establishment, Church-street. Mr. Bluck defended the prisoners. Wilson said there was a "sale" at the Liver, and he was on duty there along with Scaife. He saw the prisoners go into the shop, and from something that he had previously observed, he paid particular attention to their movements, and directed Mr. Allinan's (the Managing partner) attention to them. Thiy were watched for an hour and a half about the premises, but they did not parehase anything. He saw the woman suddenly jerk some thing under one of her arms, and then they left the shop, and went to a Valle ho - ase in Elliot-street, where they remained some time, and then went back to the shop again, and pur chased a small quantity of calico. He arrested them, and found a quantity of silk handkerchiefs with them, and in the public house where they had been, he got the shop tickets that had been on them, the prisoners having torn them off there. The handkerchiefs were taken from a table in the shop, where Wilson had seen the woman 'jerk something under her arm. Scaife then went to the priso4er's lodgings, and found a considerable quantity of goods, such as ribbons, handkerchiefs, gloves, eoburgs, umbrellas and the like, and from the evidence of Mr.' Allman, it appeared that the greater portion of these things had been stolen from the Liver within a short time. Mr. Block cross-examined all the witnesses, with the view of showing that the property might have been purchased by the prisoners, and said he " was instructed that such was the case. Mr. Allman, however, denied that the goods were purchased, and said that some of them had only recently been received from Paris. Mr. Block addressed the bench and dwelt on the respectability of the prisoners. Mr. Allman said perhaps it would throw some light on the character of the prisoners, to state that they stole the sugar crusher out of a public house where they were drinking. (Laughter.) Mr. Block contended that they were unknown to the police, and said he was instructed to say that they could produce evidence to show that they had purelia.ed the goods. They were remanded for that purpose. (Before Messrs. lioncarrox and CHILTON.) CHARGE OF ASSAULT BY A POLICEMAN _ Police-officer 727, William Jones was stimmoned by a girl named Catherine Dunne, who sells fruit in the street, for having assaulted her. The girl stated that about two o'clock on the 17th, she was at the corner of Cockspur-street, when the policeman came up and told her to move out of that ; she was about to do so, but not being s mart enough, he flung the fruit about the st ree t, an d dragged her to the "coal hole," but did not charge her. He thumped her on the way to the station. Mr. Bluck cross-examined the girl, but she persisted in the statement. A man was produced who corroborated the state ment. For the defence it was stated that the girl was ob structing the footway, aril she refused to go, when he merely put her out of the way. The complaint was dismissed. • . HUSBAND AND WIFE. A young and rather elegant -looking female named . Sarah Cobb Schofield, summoned her husband sy lvanus Schofield, publi can, .51, Titchfield-street, for having assa ulted h er. Mr. was 1 for the complainant, an d Mr. Bluck for the defence. kr. Cobb said before he entered on the case; he would make a proposition that would save a great deal of trouble and exposure. If the defendant agreed to sign a deed of separation the wife would not require anything more. She would have nothing les, as sitecould not live with him in. consequence of th e cr u e l t i e s prac ti s ed on her . The defendant gala he would a ll ow her Sc. a, wc. . e .ii, Mr. Cobb : She does not want anything;' all she awantseree Q b t is deedtaat 7an ofd h s t er n 7 t 4on o , se Mr. Bluck said i l is client would was aitow ,,,i.iostand over, VOLUNTEER MOVEMENTS THE RIFLE CONTEST AT SOUTHPORT.—The Newton review rifle contest, by the Manchester Volunteers, com menced yesterday at Southport, and will extend over this and the three succeeding days. On Monday, the arrangements were comp . leted, the ground enclosed, and the targets and firing' points fixed. The committee have established their head quarters at the Royal Hotel. The weather yesterday was all that could be desired, and there was a large muster both of volunteers and visitors,—the whole interest of the day centring in the contest for the Grand Cup, for which there were no less than 245 'entries. To-day, Mr. Robert Barnes's prize and the Legh Cup are to be contended for ; to-morrow, the Ladies' Cup; and on Friday a £2O prize (to be shot for at 900 yards), and a 'Whitworth rifle. The pro ceedings will close on Saturday with, it is expected, some crack shooting for a C5O prize and the Southport Cup. A special train, at reduced fares, leaves Liver pool every morning at eight o'clock for Southport, from the Tithebarn- street station. PRESENTATION ON SATURDAY NEXT.-011 Saturday next the 3rd Cheshire, or Wallasey, Company of Rifle Volunteers intend doing themselves the honour of pre senting to their captain, 'William Chambres, Esq., a very handsome sword and belt, complete. The affair comes off at or in a field at Somerville, midway between Seacombe and Poulton, Cheshire. There will be pre sent about 800 or 1,000 troops; consisting of detach ments from the Ist, 2nd, 4th, and 3Gth Cheshire Rifles, Ist battalion Lancashire Rifles, 4th di v i s i on L ancash i re Artillery, and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and sth Cheshire Artil lery, all under the.command of Lieut.-Colonel Bousfield ; and it is very probable that Colonel Wilbraham, Lient.- Colonel Brown, Major Walter, and Lieut.-Colonel King, will be present on the occasion. The sword is the gift Troops to the non-commissioned officers and p r i va t es. T ops to be on the ground at a quarter to five p.m. APPROACHING VOLUNTEER REVIEWS.—It iS stated that there is to be a review of volunteers at Stirling on the 13th October by the Duke of Montrose. There is also a rumour that the Duke of Hamilton is contem plating a grand review of volunteers in Lanarkshire, and that Lord Clyde will probably be present. - OUR "VOLUNTEERS" ON THE PARIS STAGE.—The Opinione Aratiorale remarks :—" Among the ballets being performed at present in Paris, one is very pleasing, and has bsen universally re-demanded. It is that of the 'Riflemen! The English Volunteers, represented by troops of pretty girls in uniform, go through the drill with a precision which pleases, and a grace which charms the spectators." THE QUEEN AND THE CARLISLE VOLUNTEERS.—The printed order which was issued from head=quarters to the effect that not the slightest show of consciousness of the Queen's presence should be manifested, was rigidly disregarded at every point of the line where an inhabi tent could be found, and could find a point from which to look and shout "Hurrah !" So it was in Carlisle Major Salkeld had intimated to the artillery that their presence would be required at the station on Monday night, as a guard of honour .to the Queen. The Mayor at once wrote to the authorities to ask permission for the attendance of the rifles like wise. The letter came couched in oracular language from the pen of the 'courtly Phipps—" Her Majesty was at all times happy to see her volunteers." It was enough—a hundred " good men and true " sprang to arms, and stormed the " Citadel " in the Queen's name. And so it came about, that 'instead of being received on her arrival by a posse of speech less porters and dumb bells, her Majesty's eyes and ears were greeted with a gay sight and joyous sounds which must have thoroughly and agreeably .dispelled any drowsiness that migAt have come over the royal party. Her Majesty and the Prince looked with evi dent interest at the volunteers, whose appearance was certainly picturesque and striking. Sir Charles Wood, who had alighted from the train with General Grey, came up to the High Sheriff (Mr. P. H. Howard), and shook him cordially by the hand ; and shortly after recognising Major . Brougham through his volunteer disguise, ran to him and almost embraced him. He evidently wanted to carry him off and introduce him to the Queen, but the Major would not stir from his post, and Sir Charles subsequently appeared to find out that such a step would have been a breach of discipline on the one hand and a breach of etiquette on the other. As the train set in motion Mr. Hodgson, regardless of the Strict injunctions to silence, waved his hat and called for "Three cheers for the Queen." They were given with great heartiness by those who were not under the spell of obedience, but the effect would have been much heightened had the volunteers, who had received instruc tions to be mute, shown less discipline than they did and disobeyed orders.—Patriot. THE VOLUNTEER SHOOTING MATCH IN ALTHORPF. PARK.—Great preparations are going on at Earl Spen cer's seat, Althorpe-park, in anticipation of the coming volunteer shooting matches and review. A great num ber of men are engaged preparing the ground, and erect ing temporary buildings for the occasion, one of which is of no ordinary size. There are several prizes to be competed for, one of which is the County Challenge Cup ; and should the weather he anything but wet, it is expected that on to-morrow (Thursday, 27th September) will he witnessed, at Althorpe,• one of the grandest gatherings that has ever been seen in that part of the country. A DEFENCE OF THE POP 'S IRISH BRIGADE. • • . The following letter has been addressed to the London Times by George Bowyer, Esq., 11. P., which fully bears out the views we advocated in connection with this sub ject on Friday last:— " Sin,—With reference to your leading article on the 'surrender of a portion of the Irish troops at Spoleto, it is but justice to state that those 600 men were cut off from the rest of the Papal army, and that they sur rendered to 25,000 Sardinian troops under Geiferal Fanti. Surely there can be no disgrace in surrendering before such overwhelming numbers ; and an obstinate resistance would have been folly, especially as it could lead to no military result. " I must add that no one could suppose that General Lamoriciere, with a force under 20,000 men, most of them raw recruits, could successfully resist 50,000 Sardinian regular troops. But such a gross outrage as the Sardinian invasion could perhaps scarcely be antici pated, even in these days of piracy and revolution. If General Lamoriciere had had fair play, he would have defended the Papal States ; but i placed between Gari baldi and a Sardinian army of 50,000 men, no general ship and no bravery could be of any avail. " I cannot conclude without entering my protest against the term •" mercenary" applied to the Irish troops of His Holiness. A mercenary is a man who serves for pay and plunder; but those men enlisted to fight for a sacred principle, to defend the head of the Church and the Vicar of Christ against the assaults of his enemies. If you call them mercenaries why do you not apply the same term to the Englishmen, Poles, :Hungarians, &c., who have joined Garibaldi ? Yet the brave Irishmen are called mercenaries, while Garibaldi's foreigners are applauded as heroes. I protest against this as unfair and unjust." ST. MARTIN'S HALL.—The interior of St. Martin's Hall, recently . destroyed by fire, is about to 'be restored, the walls having been found, on a careful survey, not to have sustained such a large amount of damage as was at first represented, and only a small portion will have to be rebuilt. A large quantity of debris, being the remains of the roofs of houses and galleries which fell inside the building, has been , removed; and a body of workmen are engaged in making preparations for carry ing out the work. . A great portion of the stone stairs is left entire, nevertheless they will require some repairs in order to sustain in safety.the immense weight imposed upon them. THE GREAT EASTERN AND THE LADY ELGIN.—It is a remarkable circumstance connected with the loss of the Lady Elgin on Lake Superior that the sad accident took place on the anniversary of the explosion on board the Great Eastern on her trial trip from the Nore to Portland harbour, the late lamented Mr. Herbert Ingram, M.P., being one of the passengers on board at the time of the occurrence. The ill-fated gentleman was on that occasion indirectly under divine providence the means of saving the lives of the majority of those on board, for it was out of compliment to him that they remained remote from the scene of ,the explosion in the dining saloon, and were actually engaged in pledging his health at the moment when the watr jacket of the funnel burst with a crash never to be forgotten by those who heard it. The very day before he left England he playfully joked with the writer of this notice upon his having declined to make his voyage to the New. World in the Great Eastern. MR. LINDSAY'S VISIT TO THE UNITED STATES.— The New York Herald, referring to this subject, says :—Mr. Lindsay is no doubt sent here to confer with Lord Lyons, precisely as Mr. Cobden was despatched to Paris to confer 'with Lord Cowley upon the recent treaty of commerce between France and England, and as Lord Elgin was sent out here to negotiate the reciprocity treaty with Canada, of which province he had been governor, and was naturally supposed to be acquainted with its affairs. This mission has undoubt edly been prompted by the immense increase in the shipping trade and commerce of the United States. As long as our foreign trade was confined to the Atlantic and the Gulf, England thought or cared little about our views upon the navigation and coasting laws ; but now that our trade with China, Japan, and the East is open ing up, and that our coasting trade extends round the Horn, from the eastern to the western shores of the continent, the British Government is anxious to obtain for British shipping a reciprocity of that favour which American vessels enjoy according to the coasting and navigation laws of England. ELOPEMENT IN STTSSEX.—A disgraceful affair has lately occurred at Hayward's Heath. A fellow named Wood, an itinerant preacher, succeeded so far in ingra tiating himself in the good opinions of many of the people around the Heath as to induce them not only to support him, and make him several valuable presents, but also to build him, by subscription, a temporary chapel near the Lunatic Asylum. Ile had no diffi culty in procuring credit at the shops, bakers, &c., and has been for some time running up scores anti getting into debt; but the summit of his scheming hypocrisy wa s only reached a few days ago, when it was discovered that he was missing, and that the wife of a poor man in the employ of Mr. Wedden, was 'also lion, eq. It has since been reported that both of them have been seen in London ; and what makes a bad matter worse,' the worthless woman, on leaving her husband, took with her the whole of his wearing apparel, .as well as her own, with £26 in cash ; also every valuable she could lay her hands on ; while her paramour, whose wife was staying with a friend in Brighton, took away with him not, only her own clothes, but two new hats and three or four pairs.of gloves he bad -prothired the evening before from the shop of Mr. Curtiss, and the poor woman on her return home found the house denuded, and all her own clothes carried off by the faithless couple. Mr. Curtiss, before he was aware of the fact, met Wood in London, when he told him it would he all right with the hats and gloves on his return ; but he has not thought fit to return. since. To the credit of some kind-hearted neigh bours, Mrs. Wood and her two children have been cared for,' and something handsome subscribed for their maintenance ; bet the fellow's dupes are quite indignant at being so grossly deceived. The rascal ee r represented himself as f or merly belonging to the preen but this is doubtful. His wife, it is said; has Y letter from him ex hortin g her to bring y..ly the ol el iZendl a in the fear of. Ood, anti stating that when she received it he should be crossing the water;. but it is to be hoped [ that the police will cross his track and-stop hi s k n f oxvois —so.y.9e4 - • Adyertigr, cp,reer, BANKRUPTCY COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner PERRY.) re re W. M. TOWNSON.—This bankrupt was a licensed victualler in Christian-street, Liverpool, and appeared yesterday on his last examination. Mr. Evans, for the assignees, stated that an adjournment would be necessary, as, owing to the bankrupt's ill health, the balance sheet had not been prepared: His Honour ad journed the sitting to The 22nd October, and,Thn the application of Mr. Atkinson, continued the bankrupt's allowance to that day. In re ISAAC J. BARRETT.—This bankrupt kept "The London" restaurant, in Clayton-square, and appeared on his adjourned last examination. Mr. Evans, who appeared for the assignees, stated, that in this case the balance-sheet had only just been filed, and that au adjournment would be necessary to comply with the rules of the court. His Honour adjourned the ease to the Rh October. _ _ _ In re RICHARD HORROCKS.—The bankrupt, wh o i„ a flour dealer, carrying on business in Great Homer street, applied to pass his last examination, and wa s supported by Mr. Evans. Mr. Martin represented the estate, and Mr. Hostay, of Chester, appeared on behalf of a creditor, and opposed the bankrupt's passing hi s examination. The ground of opposition was, that the bankrupt had incurred the debt with his client after he had received a notice in bankruptcy from another cre ditor, and when he knew that he was insolvent. His Honour, without expressing an opinion . whether the objection was proved, said that the certificate sitting was the proper time . to urge the Objection. The bank rupt then passed, and the certificate sitting was appointed for the 19th of October. In re JOSEPH JUKES.—This bankrupt was an iron master, and late of the Ponkey Iron Works, near Wrex ham. His last examination, appointed for yesterday, was, on the application of Mr. Evans, who appeared for the assignees, adjourned to the Bth October, the balance sheet not having been filed in time. In re WILLIAM HERRING.—This bankrupt, a whole sale confectioner, in Lime-street, Liverpool, appeared on his adjour ne d l as t exam i na ti on . M r . Harris, for the assignees, stated th a t t h e b a l ance s h e et had not been filed, and applied for an adjournment. His Honour, after heari ng M r. J. J. Yates on his behalf, adjourned the case to the Bth October. In re JA CKSON AND EASTMAN.—These bankrupts -were commission ag en t s and brokers in Liverpool, an d applied to p ass th e ir last examination.—Mr. Collins, for sheets eets ; e b the assignees, st a t e d t h at the object for which the last afidlijnoguronfms separate r t a o t o e took balance place had been l attained, a d namely, therefore, now to consent to their passing. —His Honour, after referring to the file, allowed them to pass. The certificate sitting was appointed for the 19th October. FALL OF A CANAL BRIDGE AT MANCHESTER. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF 150 PERSONS. An accident of a most extaordinary nature, attenaea with the loss of only one life, occurred on Monday evening, a few minutes after six o'clock, in Manchester. Across the Rochdale Canal, in the Oldham-road, at the bottom of Prussia-street, and connecting that street with Potts-street,, is a narrow woOden-floored iron girder bridge. There is a very large open piece of waste ground on the Potts-street side, immediately upon which the passengers over the bridge descend. The piece of ground was throughout the afternoon on Monday crowded with people of the labouring class, who were delighting in the dissipations of the New Islington Wakes. There were three or four huge sheds, covered with canvas, in which dramatic talent. of the lowest. order was exhibi ted before admiring houses, the spectators being admitted at Id. per head. One boarded box contained the fat woman, the dwarf, and the giant,—the indispensable trinity of every show; another was called a "Marionette Theatre." On stages outside these places were poor, half-clad men, discoursing discordant music ; some ten or twenty faded, shrivelled, painted creatures, dressed in most faded and fantastic clothes—clown, columbine, and pantaloon gesticulating and capering ; all at the same time shouting, shunting, playing. There were also several highly-coloured swing boats loaded with children, who were whirled round with dizzy rapidity, and a huge circular frame of hobbyhorses, some with and some with out riders. The clamour, bustle, and gaiety of this scene attracted a number of youths of both sexes to place themselves on the narrow bridge referred to, and from thence watch, as from a gallery, the scene on tke waste ground. The bridge sprang from a single flight of steps on the Prussia-street side, and on the Potts street side rested up on a stone ab utment,: which rose from the waste ground and overhung the towing path of the canal. In the centre the bridge rose slightly. The floor was composed of wood, and the railings were of iron. A few.minutes after six o'clock, a great number of girls from neighbouring factories proceeded to cross the already-crowded bridge, and probably lingered upon it. At the same time, police constable G. Walford, of the C divisidn, ascended the steps on the Potts-street side to clear the bridge. While doing so, a sudden crack was heard, and immediately afterwards the bridge fell into the canal beneath, carrying with it upwards of 150 persona, chiefly young women. The most marvellous fact 'remains to be told; the bridge snapped the stone clear off:on the PrusSia-street side, on the Pott-street side it moved a mass of stone weighing about 2cwts. out of its place, while the bridge fell in an upright position, the centre breaking after it had reached the bottom of the canal, and the crowd upon it were kept standing by the iron railings. As soon aSi the accident was seen, a number of men most gallantly dashed into tke water, and the affrighted, half-drowned people were extricated. Some. remained clinging to broken pieces of the bridge that remained suspended out of the water, while the major portion were divided in two parties, and thrown to opposite ends of the bridge. Several were taken out in a half senseless condition, and some were slightly bruised, but only one life was lest—that of a child, about twelve years old, named Margaret Aekroyd, late residing with her parents at 68, Naylor-street, Oldhata road.

NEW IS:VD:MON.-I . km NEW FOUNTAIN PEN.---A greater atmoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with---the difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recentimprove ments the new " fountain pen," just introduced by Rudnall and Co., is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but effec tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of a second inverted barrel, above the writing nib, and this barrel can be taker, out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly clean without any chance of heinie, corroded. Another feature in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for tire minute;,' quick writing. The pen Itself is of the finest description, and in merchants -. offices, banks, and indeed id every place, it leill be found to fill a want felt by every one up to this time. We have tried this splendid pen, Lunde , ' to us by Mr. E. T. I' vii, South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour .
