Birkenhead, on the body of John Drury, whose body was found near the Dock Cottage pro7..erty ou Sunday night. The three parsons amused of the murder of the above , Frauds Smyth, John Smyth, and Peter Gar, agtter, were in attendance, and were represented by Mr. Bretherton. The first witness examined wax police-constable. Graham, who stated that, on the night in question, he heard the cries of mnrder, and, on turning back a few pales, a man (Dunn) came up and stated that he had been stabbed. After :th at, Dann was convoyed to the hospital by police constable Clarke, and subsequently Giaham loan t he body of the deceased man. He then detailed all the particulars se to what he heard and what he did, the result of which was that he went into the house, No. 7, i block, when he saw two me a in be 1' one of whom was Francs Smith, nha had white trousers on. and a white shirt, both of which were besmered w th blood, an 1 he had a cat on the left hand side of the head. Tlie other man in bad was Peter Gallagher. The other prisoner, John Smith, was apprehended in the adjoining room. There ware marks of blood on his clothes. On the way to Bridewell: Gallagher said he had been in bed since eight o'clock, and knew nothing for what he was being taken for. Mr. F. Stephenson, a surgeon. stated that, on Tuesday afternoon, he had made a post martens examination of the body of the deceased Drury. Externally he found two incissions on the right side of his face. a cut on the right shoulder, an incised wound on the left arm, and a wound en the left side before the fourth and fifth wound. On the chest was a large wound, in the left verticlo communicating with the ex ternal wound, and would have caused immediate death. The knif e p oduced would have inflicted such a wound. It was about three inches in depth. Police Constable Clarke give similar evidence to that given by WA brother constable, Gr ,bam. Constable Hodgson spoke to arresting the prisoner, John'Smith, who was partially dressed, his shirt being smeared with blood. Who charged with the crime of murder he made no reply. He had been drinking. He had not male any inquiries as to the knife. William Leyland. a striker in the Canadian Works, saw, on the night in question, the prisoner, Frank Smith, wrestling with some man, and soon after he heard a cry of "A knife, a knle." Another man was within hrlf a yard of them, and an3ther man came up and threw a stone at Frank Smith. After the stone was thrown, Frank. Smith fell sndd lily. Mrs. Hey want out and said, "My Frank, your killed." When a light was git the witn3ss saw the three prisoners f Bowing Mrs. Hay. After thit he heard one of them say, We are the three b---ga for them." Jame, Thomas, ano her stOker, was at home at the time, when he heard a great noi.e outalp, and on looking out saw a number o f people kicking each other. He saw one man throw a stone at a man who fell. He did not know any of the parli-r. Mrs. Ann Wesre, the woman exam'ned before the magistrates on Tuesday, was next called, and she made a sinil a* statement to that which shehad. made on the former occasion. The girt Chalouer also un:_de the same statement as ahe did b fore the maristrates. ' James Edwards, a labourer belonging to the Canada Works, also living in I bloc of-the Dock Cottages, was in hit house on Sunday night, when he heard a noise, and on poking ut of the:hou ehe saw, swan or eight men fightingitogether, one aino , g the other. He went to go out but his wife stepped him, and would not:et him, nor would she ase oad time. Therefor% h- again went to the wi. dow and save• a man comin; round from he corner where tile deceased wa He met Frank Smith oppo.ite the window and: knockel him down with a stone, and then ran down towards the IC, block. • The next witness cared was Peter Miler, who, sated that he lived .in I block.' On Sunday night he was in b_di and was awakened by" a disturbance in the avenue. He went to the window, where he saw two men snarling, when one said tithe other, "there have been two of you at him.". Some blows were exchanged, and they ran into the passage No. 7, I block, bat had not been the .e long before they _ returned into_ _the avenue, having hold of ,each - other. Aacther ,133. an came, and there were two ,to one, i,its he -took the part - of one of them, bat another soo curie up and then they ware equal, They had not been - long " agate" of each other befora one of them cried out for " a stone," and another shouted oat Here's a knife, a knire." The scuffle was going on when a stone hit one 'of the men on the head, and two of the men ran away and did not show themselves again. The min who was kno:ked down had on a pair of light trousers and a blue jacket. By Mr. Bretherton—He cried out for '1 stone," and the answer, i I my impression, " Here's a knife," was in answer to it. John Hoare, the young man examined before the magistrates on Tuesday, was tared called, and he gave the same account of the trans action as he had done on the former occasion. The only additional evidence given by this wines was, that just e before ha wa. attacked, he saw the deceased standing in his shirt sleeves opposite the lobby. : Hs did not see him after the, until he went to his " wake" on the same night. - Hugh Keenan was also c Wed, and gave the same evidence as Ins had dents oh the former examination before the magistrates. Martin Radagin, of A block of the Deck Colages, stated that th e deco:teed lodged w:th him at No. 27, for about four weoke, and the last time he saw him alive WAS about nine o'clock on Sunday night at the Eggs and BAcnn public-hence. At that time ha was not drn He then asked him to come home, bat he would not, and after that he (witness) stated that. he teat him a shilling. Thu deceased was a qtitatt min. He had been at Prescot on that diay to see his wife any fnny; and had after his retur.a got his tea, and then went out perfectly sober and quiet. • At this j incta - e of the inquiry,. the Coroner, with the jury, ad_ j uraed to the hospital for the purpose of taking the cepoeitions of the man, Dunn, who was evidently injured in the same' affray as had can ed the death of the deceased. On this =idols the,coroner did not express the slightest obj iclion to the representatives of the Pres, being I relent to hear the statement made by that, the most important witness that could be heard, althoughlhe magistrates had not the courtesy to do so, under the pretext that it might frustrate the ezda of jastim. His statement was as :follOws : • John D inn, the poor injured man, stated: I live at th ink Ct. tsges. On• Sunday I went to the publichouse about half past nine o'clock, and left in about ha'f an hour. I-did not knew the degas, ea by name, but I might know him le • l had seen him after I left the pualichouse. I recollect seeing shine enen running along the poec dottages e on the'doc ( side. When I got ue to where they were, . there, was about four of them. I went-up to them, but; (,cannot toll who they were. They were fighting one another. One was dewn. There was two inside the doorway, and two out, and they were striking et one another. I went to the' door to sea if I knew any of them, -when I was struck, as I thought, with a fist, bu' it 'woe w tie a knife in the left side. I saw the man who struck we; he wore, white tron‘ersi a• , d had a d ,rk j ackst on, but I do no know him. I saw the polio man, and was brought to the hosptal. Tae man laid oppodt e the door way where I was stabbed, but did net stir or move when I saw him. I have seen the, three persons accused, and I cannot identiry one of them as the party who stabbed me. He depositions he gave in the clearest and most collected man ner, and siened it without the slightest hesitation. Tee jury then retired to the Hotel; when Mr. Bretherten, in a most able and masterly manner, addressed the jury on behalf of the three accused, contending that there was not the slightest evidence against John Smith or Peter Gallagher, and the only thing that was brought against Francis Smith w:s the knife that was found, as one witness said, under his hand, but another said eight feet from him, which it was clear could not be the fact, as he would not have loft behind him the emblem of his own guilt ; therefore, after taking all the facts into consideraton, they woul 1 at once! say that the three epers nes accused hal nothing whate er to do with the stabbing of ,the ecoased. :'The Coroner then proceeded to sum up the evide nd in doing so, observed that tim jury would recollect that tee learned gentleman whs had addressed them, had been retaMsd by tha .arcused, therefore 113 hope t that his obseryations would have no • weight with them, but that they •.would alone pay attention to the evidence, which he would real over. But there was one thing that he must refer to, end that was the total carelessness and want of feeling-evinced by the navvies in that, didriet, and also their t tat diem gird to 1 fe, for there they had the fact—that on- man was mortally stab' ed—another was severely injured. by a stab in the lungs, an i a third had nearly received a mortal wound from the elf !eta of al immense stone that bad bowl hurled w.th great force at him. Such a - state of th ngs was truly lament— able, but how it was to to prevented he did no: know. The respected coroner then read over the evidence a idaced d ari iig the Investigation, Upon which h e offered some comments, for the - purpose of enabling thej - try to come to a right and proper conciutian, but, in so doing, hr also pointed out the discrepancies in the several statements Veit hod been made. Having recapitu'atod the evidence, he said it wanly be for the j ery to give their verdict. It was quit- clear that a in in hod been most cruelly murdered, and it won d be for them t say whether the evidence addend in the lead effe!ted tee men who had been charged. It was a cost involvsd in meevery, and it appeared a great dacalty to unravel that mystery, bit, taking the whole coats into (consider ttion, it would be for them to find a verdict se oording to the evidence, which , he booed, would be ash factory to themselves and to the county at large. Ater a brief censultatioa, the jury returned a verkt of " Man slaeg'lte • " aertin4 the three prisonors, and they wore consequently c. mmitted to take their hi rl at the next assizes for the c ffence. The following were the names of the jurors : —H. S. Nels on, .1: Taylor, G. Barnett, G. Brrtroe, H. Robinson, H. Ma•tin, C. Hants, J Mulholland, R. Hargreaves, T. Woodwork, S. Coate., J. C. Ward, E. H. Birch, atd 0. Edwards. It is scarcely ne_es , ary to say that this investigation, which rom men2el at ten o'cit ck in the morcd g and did not cone:ude until nine o'clock in the even ng, created a great sensation in Birkenhead. RATHER AN EXPENSIVE EXCURSION—We believe it will be found that the expense of the recent visit of inepction to the lighthouses. lice-boat slat oas, &c., paid by tla. members of the Dock Committee, amounted to somewhat ever £220. Our readers are aware that these annual num , &otos are accernponed by bargoets, to which a great numter of ggAlemen, Lot members of the Dock Commit.eP, are i ivited. . Considering how much w‘o hear of the me. ssity of economy, and the very freveot oppAtion ra'sed by members of the Dock Committee to an allow ance of Lo being made to the widows an children of men killed in the service of the trust, one cannot help thinking £220 rather a heavy item of expense for the performanoc of a formal duly. THE NORTHERN LTINIES.---LIVERPOOL; FRIOAY, OCTOBER o, 1857. WRECK OF THE CLIPPER SHIP BEA BELLE. LOSS OF LIFE. The following Pi a copy of a letter received from Bombay, dated July 9. The writer, Captain 0' who was on. board the ill-fated . vev. , el, thus describes the wreclt: " We left Bombay, for Canton, on the 17th May, and for the first few days hal fine we .ther. Notwithstanding the monsoon was blowing., we matte good progress, the ship being a fine railer, having beaten everythlng out from Liverpool on her last voyage, making the pa sage in 98 days. _ "On the fourth day out from Bombay at noon in lat. 9 N., lon. 92 E., the weather came on thick, with a Blight r;rizzling r.lo. the ship at the time being under a heavy press of-canvas. We took in sa I, and lay-to for four hours, during which Urns a steamer passed, having troops on board. About six o'clock it cleaved up, the wind fre'hened, and we went bowling along at a to'erable spsed. Through the night the wind increased, coming now and then in awfal gusts. "Neat morning, the 22nd, bro,e gloomily enough, a strong win 1 and a heavy sea at times breaking, and waling every movable thing off he deck. Captain Stanley now ordered all sail to be taken in, with the exception of the Jib an 1 foresail. However, this had no effect, and the ship continued to lab )ur heavily in a tromealon4 sea, the spray often ascending as far as the cross-trees. About four o'clock the mizenmast went by the board—the wind blowing a perfect hur leans at the time—and one of the block's coming down s , rnek the captain and broke his arm, and otherwise crashed him dreadtn ly. The command new devolved on Mr. W. J. Grant, the first oflic-r, a youth ahout 21 or 22 rars of age, who, until the vessel went down, gave hit orilers with all .he skill an 1 coo'ness of an ezperienied navigator and daring seaman. Night again cane on, and with it the same dreadful weather. "Neat morning; about four o'clock, I hard the awful cry ' Sprang a leak!' The pumps were sou. Acid and four feet of water fount The pumps went to wor , but the leak co 'tinned to i acrease. Our th'inghts were now turned towards oar own p?ra mai safety. There were four boats on bonrd, bat two were stove when the wizen mat went. Everything Was now being got randy. The chief officer gave orders Ocut away the fore ant ma'n masts. I could hear the encouraging Words of this young man—as he called out, ' Cat away my hearties; cut away'—high 11 . 3C.V3 the storm. Still prepa a• t on west on for 'ower'ng the long boat, and jaart as it was visa; ov the side, away went the foremast with an awful crash striking fa ir into my very soul—and, alas, with it, elev:n of tine crew. The next ,monaont the mainmast went overboard, and not a standing spar was in the' hip... Thelon; boat was now launched safely, into which got the disabled captain, Wss Flinders, a passenger, eight seamen, and myselr, with a stock of provisions. The oth3r boat was laumhad and Mrs. liarrop and Miss Harrop (wife and danlhter of J. Harrop, of Canton`, seven seamen, the apprentice; and the, first, second, and, third o Mcers got into it, and left the ship in com?any of the boat I was in. Ten minutes afterwards the Sea Be'le went down. We pirted company during the night with Mr. Grant's boat, and next morning could s'e nothing of it. In the afternoon we were picked tip by th 3 J 49.10 Marro, from Glasgow t) Bomb ty, ay.d Captain ,tewart lay to for six hoira, hoping to see s tmathing of the missing boat, hit to no me. • " Next day one of the seamen saw a box floating past ; a be t wa s lowered an i picked it ap.

All persons acqaainted with steam navig ton are aware that the screw propeller has not yet attained the perfection of which the ab'esC marine engineers coaeider it capab:e. During the late meeting of the B e eitish Association, Mr. John ecott Russell, when describing the arrangements of the Great Eastern. remark- d at come length on the dr iwbaeles of the screw in its present form, and alluded to carious modifications which have, been proposed with the view of entered d facts in the working of -the ordinary propeller. The result of his observation was that the screw was yet to be devised which deserve to be regarded al. the ultimatum of effie erscy—and several other autteeities on he, au' j set then presents corroborated the state. ment. This fact will prepare the ro idea for fixing his attention brie fly en the character, of the &lenge in thefoe - n and action of the screw prepell r invented by Captain Williams of the City of Dahlia steam Packet Company's chip Windsor. We 81.11 attempt a shoFt notice of his screw, which has been patented, and is now in use for the propulsion of several first-class steam-ships belonging to' various Irish and English proprietors. Captain Williams's propeller' is cen struetel so as to present two prepel lug surfaces on the one face different from each other. In other words, be ten on his shift an outer and inner propeller; the inner occupying a third-of the 'diameter of the screw, and being conical in form.

That the yes alts are the same on the other steamers to which the br,pell,r has bean applied is testified by the captains of the vessels and the managers of the companies. We hive the bsrt lesson for believing, therefore, on the evidence of technical men,sthat Captain Wi liams's propeller remedies several of the leading faults of the ordinary screw, and is a desideratum in steam navigation. Its more extensive use can only be a question of time. A saving of expense in vr.irking vessels is rot the only merit of Captain Wdliami's screw. By dim' uish ng wear and tear the frequent necessity of rep irs is preve ,ted. Eng . neers and vhipburders, though having an obvious interest in the eilleiezcy . of t a vessels they build, have no such interest in the cc rnoiny of their mai itenance ; and it is shipowners themselves, therefore, who have the most immedia'e interest in the sp.dication of a propeller, which, while increasieg the speed of their vessels to a large extent, will enable them to be worked under average circumstances at consideran:y less ex, ease. —Dublin Evening I Packet.

The pulpit used by the rev. gentleman in the Surrey Hal was erected in a commanding position near the north east corner, at the point of j auction of the transept with the nave. ; ,Ther a was much less presoare on the railway than was anticipated and the consegasace PM, that the visitors to the Palace performed their j 'army with perfect ease and safety. The service commenced shortly after twelve o'clock, and on a rough calculation the numbers present at that time were estimated at 22,000. At a later period it was c aleneated that 16,0')0 persons had arrived by rail, and 11,00) by the ordinary road, making a total of 27.000. The service commenced with a brief ievocatio . 1 followed by a hymn. A prayer was wo n unced by the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, in which the Almighty was lev Atel to free the nation from the dreadful scotnrge, whch the Indian mutineer& have inflicted rpm it, to a's'st the widows and fatherless children of the sufferers in In lia,"to cheer the heals of oar soldiers, "to bid then rameenbse they are sot w _artier& merely, but executioners, and mitre them ees with steady tram? to b title, be Levin; tint Gei wills it that they:shall utterly destr y the enemy that has defied.

Subseq rently, he accompanied a gentle man who was eecor ing a friend to the Liverpod steamer; but there is a goo 1 cleat of doubt as to whither he went on board. The- feet is, he dil not go on board ; and t'-e truth is, that the despatch of the detective consttOle SMelds, to Liveroo3l, was a proceeding that was en.irely unnecessary.

ORINGE. DISTURB %Ne 2 IV MANCIIESTER.—At the Man ,chester Polic,) Court, on Tuesdav, four ta. , n were charged hr the' police with creating a ,isturbance in the streets at mi night, with c rrain.g fire-anus, and wi h asSaulting the pol ce in the execution of their duty. One of the pri a ners, named Hutton, is th 3 chairman of an Orange lodge which meets at the Highlander, in a street off O'dhano Road. Two other pris-mers, named Whiteley, and the fourth prisoner, named M'Culloch, are members uf thes,:me club. Mr, Bnlnett appealed for the defence. It appeared from the Statement of the police that, at half-. .. past 12 o'clOck on Sunday morning they saw a man named Peter German running' after Hutton, end asking him to to give `up a pistol which he bad in his possession. . The prisoner, Hutton* immediately turned round and struck Gorman with a pistol he held in his hand. Gorman, who is an engine driver, is a member of the Hibernia club, the members .of 'ehich have recently ciused much troabie to the police by the disturbances they have created in the street. Tae police apprehended Hutton, and as they were conveying him to the s a'ion house, 14‘Cull ,ek came Up and attempted to rescue the pri , oner, knocking the Police down, kicking them, and taking a staff from one of them. Soon afterwards the two WI iy.eleys joined in the affray. When Button had b2en taken to the station house, the, 'police W,..lat to a lionse where ihe other three mm had taken refuge, to apprebtnd fliem.` One cape to the . wirdo e, and pointed a p'stol at tho po'icernan, tolling him that if he was ant off quickly he wou`d blow his brains ~ut. Several witnesses were called for the defence, and it was alleged that the I is!ol which Hutton had in his pos. cession was one whi?h had been enttuated to him, by a . man'tiamed Nixon, to clear. It was also urged that nu resistance was cffared to the police until they wed un necessary violence.—Mr. Mande commented severely upon the con hut of Dl'Culinek, who, he said, hadsbrought on the disgraceful 63 - .llrbacce by his viol ent interference. He declared that it was the deterrninati - n of the ma gistrates to prevent the carrying of dangerous weapons, or the creating of disturbances in the streets, by ei,her Alla Oraogemen or -their opponents, ar:d recommended ,the prisoners, if they wee threatened with violence from the other party, not to arm themselves, but to trust to the protection of the police. Hutton was bound over to keep the peace for three inonllis, in two sureties of £lO each, M'Culloch was fined 505., and 'the two Whiteleys were fillet! 20e. tack. . STttEEr PREACHING IN BELFAST.
