THEFT ON BOARD A SHlP.—James Lesley, a sailor on board the American ship Indian, was brought up charged with stealing a quantity- of wearing apparel, consisting .of severafshirts, a .pair, trousers, and a number of other articles, from.

Tour; and BzyN.] THE SMOKE NIJISA.NCE. The London 1: - !1 North-Western Itailway Conmany were slum-limed et the instance 01' Mr. Wignall, the smoke inipeetor of the Corporation, for ;illowiug volumes of black smoke to issue from an ericine on the 1:1' , ;11 of September Mr. who appeared to .1:t the informs-- tion, .said this was an acti, - ai laid und, 7 ' 7;10 Bth of Victo ria, in which it enacted that every engine should he so mstructed as to consume its own smoke; or, if not, they shoUld forfeit a penalty of £5 for every day such engine was worked. ' • Mr. Wignall said, on: the afternoon -• of the day in question, he . perceived volumes of ..black smoke issuing trom,the engine, called Eglington,. No. 287, oivued by the London and North-Western Railway Comp lay, from :4.21 to 4.29. The eneine was in'Crown-street Statibn: He Went on to . her,• dnd found that it was con structed- to consume its own smoko. " It smoked for 'eight minutes without intermission. • • - Mr:" Blenkinsopp, who appeared for the railway com pany,' contended, at some length, that the summons had not been served in accordance with the act of parliament, which . required that it should be served personally or left at the abode of such person. Mr..M‘Gowan said it was left at the b@use in Lime street. . Mr: Blenkinsopp—But there is no house in Lime street; nor is the secretary in Lime-street Mr. M‘Govran--Tat his offices are. Mr. Blenkinsopp—No, they are in London. Mr. Wignall stated that he had 'made au agreement with the secretary to leave summonses at 'Lime-street, or serve them on oue of the clerks. Cross-examined by Mr:•Blenkinsopp—l was standing between forty and.sixty yards from the Crown-street Station when.l saw the smoke issuing from the engine. I was in the company's yard. The ene,-ine was moving some waggons at the time I saw it. I looked into. the, fire box, but the fire was not red. Coals might have been put on the fire eight or ten minutes before: I saw coals on the fire. I left notice at the office the iay after the offence. It was.an intimation that I had seen smoke proceeding from the engine the day preceding.---Mr. Blenkinsopp said he should prove that the engine was eight minutes in the" yard, and also that coals had not been put on the fire for half an-hour preiious to Mr. Wignall inspecting the engine.—Robert Higginson said . h had *been .an engine driver for this company for eight or nine years. He. was driving the engine on the 14th of September. He waS.'coming from Warrington junction with coals, . and was going to the Crown-street station. He arrived at the latter place about four o'clock. Thera were three or four shovels full of coal put on about Wavertree- • 'bridge. They had to stop at Edge-hill.station for half an-hour,: in consequence of another engine working at Crown-street yard. , When he had been in Crown-street yard about a minute, Mr. Wignall .dame tip. He was certain he had not been two minutes in the yard until he came up, He looked into the fire-box, and the fire was red. He had the usual battler and blow-pipe on to consume the smoke ,at, Edge-hill, - but soon after leaving that plisse the. baffler was taken out. Ile 4sited Mr..Wignall if he saw any smoke issuing, and .he did not give him an answer, except saying that he could see what they had been doing. Cross-examined by Mr. M‘Gowan 7 -Why I asked Mr. Wignall if he saw any smoke ,issuing, was because he said he would summon the company. He said he was the smoke inspector. I had the command of the engine. My instructions are to see 'that the hailler and bloW-pipe are used to consume the smoke.--Mr..M‘Gowan : , Sup posing that the baffler was not used on this occasion, would you be the person to blame ? Witness : Yes. I had not occasion to use the baffler when I came into the Crown-street station. The baffler was on the tender when Mr. Wignall looked into the fire. It would be ten minutes or a quarter of an hour before Mr. Wignall came on that it was used. The statement of Mr. Wignall as to the engine being eight minutes in the yard is entirely„ false.—Hr. 11I‘Go wan : What is the duty of an engineer ? Is it to shove the carriages along? Witness : No, the steam sends' them along. My duty is to nok after the machinery. Levi Preston, the stoker, was called, and corroborated the statement of the last witness. In cross-examination by Mr. M‘Govian, he said—We' used coal on this occa sion; we feed the fire according to the load we have. On a regular journey, we feed it abOut every quarter of an hour. We don't feed it when we are standing still, as it would smoke, and we put very little indeed on when we are standing at 'a station. We take the baffler out when the fire is red. If we put coals on the fire, 'and did not put the baffler on, it would be our fault. Mr. Blenkinsopp : How long will it take you to go from Edge-hill to CrOWn-street ? Engine Driver : About four or five minutei 'on thiS'occasion, John Greenwood said he was the brakeman of this train on the day in question. He saw Mr. Wignall come to the engine. He was on it at the time. The fire was quite red, and there was no smoke issuing from the chimney. Thomas Lonsdale said he was foreman over what is called the line at the , Crown-street. Station. His duty was to take the number of the waggons. He recollected the engine EglintOn coming down... recollected Mr. Wignall going on to the engine. H e was go i ng on him self at the same time. The en_gine had been in the station about a minute when Mr. Wignall came up. At the time he came up it was not smoking, but blowing;_off steam: Mr. M'Gowa.n recalled Mr. Wignall, who said he saw the smoke before he went on - the Line. Mr: Blenkinsopp said, just to finish the case, he would remind the magistrates that it was stated, by three or four respectable witnesses, that the engine was not one minute in the station ; and Mr. Wignall had stated that he saw smoke issuing for eight minutes. Mr. M'Gowan--He says on the journey. Mr. Blenkinsopp—What, in the tunnel ? Mr. Wignall--No; I said I saw it moving about. "' - , wan said this was a case in which Mr. Mr. than to do his duty as an Wignall had no interest mu— inspector, and the engineinan and stoke! had an in !fest in It so far, that if tliere was any fault, tb was wlbu wiem. As to the ether witnesses ; they 9ntil::'. l .ycictiT9 l ?9r4te4 Wignall's testimony. The engineman and stoker had said that they did not put coals on the fire for half an hour. He would leave it for them to judge whether an engine which was about to be set in motion could stand for that space of time without any coal. After some further discussion the summons was dis missed. James Qeach and Co., sugar refiners, Blackstock-street, were charged with allowing volumes of black smoke to issue from their chimney, on the 20th of September, con trary to the act of parliament.- —Mr. Cobb appeared for the defendants.—Mr. Wignall said he noticed the smoke issue from two minutes past three till e l even m i nu t es past, without intermission. The condition of the works was v ery good. He had seen the smoke checked at the same works in about a minute. Mr. Cobb--Who laid this information ?—Witness Robert Hi;; •s. Mr. Co —Where is he ? I am instructed that there is no such persbn.—Witness : Mr. Higgins is not here. Mr. Cobb—Then the summons must be dismissed. Mr. M'Gowan—On whatound ? Mr. Cobb—On the ground that the informant is not here. The bench decided not to allow the objection. Mr. Cobb : Did none of t he neighbours complain to you about it ? Witness : No.-3ir. Cobb : Are there many persons in the street ? Witness : Notvry lv fe i w t: —Mr. Cobb : How far are they from this place . ness : About a hundred yards.—Mr. Cobb : How many do you suppose? Witness: A densely p o p ulated neigh bourhood.—Mr. _ Cobb : Then did you speak t o any of the densely populated neighbourhood to come here? Witness : No: Cobb : Then you have come here to support this information simply yourself ? Witness : Yes.—Mr. Cobb: . I suppose there would be no difficulty in bringing them forward. Witness : I have not asked them to come. Mr. Cobb said it was perfectly absurd that the Cor poration of Liverpool should allow their common infor mer—(No, 110 )—to come here and attempt to make the magistrates believe his statement when he had such an opportunity of bringing so many persons forward to corroborate him, This was the first complaint against these particular works during the long time they had been standing. • The bench recommended Mr. Wignall to bring some person to corroborate him in future—he could take the police-constable on the beat. —Fined 60s. and costs. The Mersey Iron and SteaCompany wore summoned , for a similar offence. Mr. Wignall . stated that he - . saw volumes of black smoke proceeding from the chimney on the 19th of Sel.t..lmber, from 12,7 to 12.16.—A person from the woik4 slid the company had given the-engine man and fireman 24. a week extra to be careful to consume the smoke, or they . We7ild he responsible. Them were three chi , --eys, - and they were all at work at once; and tt t., time they were issuing brown smoke, and the three intermixing, Mr. Wignall had thought raid he did mot report wLa , Torr: Is that thelaw of colour-. t' browns make a black ?•—After thither the bench - f1.1.•4 the defendant -, 204. and • , - n and Co., L Cherry-lane. on . r , :i% : ion f ro . 1 • • —co of the 1;y - to ben ne. choked Iti). -:inod•2os. , • i•e, soap in Leeds-street, was' charged with a similar offenc,. !'eudant had been finod before.----A person stated :door:: had done all in his power to prevent it.--I"inel 50.5. and costs. John Moyer Threlfall, c. Crosby-street, was fined 20s. and costs 'for a similar 0,,...nce. • Francis Preston and Co. were charged with having black'smokeissaing from their chimney on the 25th of August, from G.. 40 to 7.3. A person from the defendants sail it was in consequence of their having to:get a new engiaeman for a. short While in place of their old one who was ill.—Fined 20s. and costs. ' Edward Weybergh, ironfounder, St.. Anne-street, was also complained against for a similar offence, on the .10th • September, from 3.52 to 4.1.. A person who re presented the firm said. Mr. Wignall must have made some mistake, as at the very time the machinery was stopped, in consequence , of an accident to the engine. Mr. Wignall said he went into the works, and looked into 'the fire; and then spoke to the engineer. The engineer was called, and he denied having seen Mr. Wignall there.- , --Fined 20s. anti costs. Edward Walmsley, brewer and innkeeper, Bruhswick road, was fined 20s. and costs fora similai4ence. Henry. Jobling, whose address was inaudible to the Reporters, was also fined 20s. and. costs for having a similar offence committed on his premises, on the 12th September, from 9.18 to 9.31. Messrs. Willoughby, of Birkenhead, were like Wise fined 20s. and costs,,for allowing a similar offence on board the steamer Mersey. • ST. ANNE'S WARD. j A public meeting of the electors of 'St. Anne's Ward; favourable to the return of Mr. Clarke Aspinall to represent the ward in the Town Council, was held last night, in . the 0(1(161lows' Hall, St. Anne-street 'Among' other gentlemen present, we observed Messrs: P. Cameron, Henry Midelleburst, Charles Bean, Dr. Cooper, W. P.' Sim,' J. Chesney, Jabez Jones, john • Walker, H. McAlpine, and J. Lancaster. Mr. Simon FraSer presided. In bringin, - ; . the busineSs of the evening before the. meeting, the Chairman remarked that he was glad to see so many present, despite the inclemency of the weather. He had been, he said, all day engaged in returning Verdicts, and was happy to be able to lay befOre the nieetiag, the verdict of the Canvass ; it was ; possible he might be mistaken, biat so far as appearances went, their candidate would not stand at .the bottom of 'the,poll on the Ist of November. He would not occupy the time of the Meeting, but would- at once introduce their respected candidate. . Mr. AspiNA.I.L . , Who Was, received' with immense applause, said that he was extreme ly glad to be able to meet them again to-night, as lie was nearly being kept on the other side of the river Mersey, 'and' he - Was told by 'a good authority, that if that tide was taken tit the flood, it might lead on to•misfOrtune. He did pici4-::he -said, sympathise with any fears of the possibility': of being det'eated ; and although it had been said on the other side thero was . not the least likelihood of the opposition raised' to Mr. Nixon, in St. Anne's Ward, by Mr. C. Aspinall, being persevered in, he would say there was the greatest likelihood of it being 'persevered inrand that successfully. llcedeprecated anyone bluing forward as'a candidate solely for ambitious purposes, or to gain a position for himself. It was not With these views he ,came forward,' but solely with a desire to serve them, although they might 'have got a far better man. He wished to:refer to alsubject which deeply interested them all, and, himself, toe, as a ratepayer—that •was the. rating of .the docks: If he was sent, into 'the Council,, he would do his endeavours to have 'them `rated in the same. manner ' as all - the Other . - pro=' petty in the kingdom.' Having remarked at consider able length upon several local matters of interest, among others tho establishment of an arsenal and de fences for the port of Liverpool, ,Mr. Aspinall con cluded a humorous speech; ,by saying that if beaten on the Ist, he could not appear in the Mayor's ball-room on the 3rd ; at least he could only do so in three ways— he must either appear as Mr. Town Councillor Aspinall, or the young man who should have known better, or he must send an apology for .non-attendance. e He had, however, no doubt of the result ; and was in the hope that he would have to:appear before them at the end of three years, and meet with a 'reception still-heartier than, he had received to-night. (Cheers.) _ Mr. J AMES FAIRYITIRST . then moved, " That. this meeting pledge itself, to use every legitimate effort to procure the triumph and election of Clarke Aspinall, Esq., at the ensuing Municipal Election for St. Anne's Ward." The motion was seconded by Mr. Watts, and supported at: some length by several other gentlemen ; and, being put to the meeting, was carried by a large majority. A vote of thanks to the Chairman concluded the proceedings. GEORGE STEPHENSON.—Sir Joseph Paxton writes to The Times, urging the propriety of disinterring the body of George Stephenson from the hultnble grave at Chesterfield, and finding a more suit a bl e resting-place beside that of his son in Westminster Abbey. Ittisn.PßlSONS.—The Government have notified their intention of relieving the 'county rates from the support of convicted prisoners, and placing the Irish prisons on the same footing with the English as to the subsistence of sentenced prisoners; and, from the Ist of January next, the expense of supporting all prisoners convicted by a jury will be defrayed from the Consolidated Fund. ---4. , anietnagA reporter. ROBBERY QF A M1N1171 0 3 ArrAim4.—On Sunday . „ 4 evening, while the Rev. William M Caw Was preac.., in the Presbyterian Chapel, New Bridge-street, Man chester, a thief made his way into the vestry, and carried off his vest, containing a gold pencil-case; his coat, with three pairs of gloves, and an umbrella. At half-past seven o'clock, Policeman Anderson took a man into custody at the. Victoria Railway Station, probably noti 7 cing his suddenly improved attire, and on examining the pencil-case, found a name upon it which led him to go to Mr. M'Caw's church, and there he learnt that a robbery had been committed. The prisoner, who gave his name as Robert'Foster, was on Monday placed before the city magistrates. Mr. M'Caw identified his recovered property, and Foster was committed to the sessions for trial.

COUNTY COURT.--YESTERDAY. (Before W. A. liurroN, Esq., Judge.) INSOLVENCY CASES.—William Hughes, a debtor, at ?resent in Walton jail, lately joiner and builder, came up on oxamivation for his discharge. Mr. Husband appeared for the insolvent, and Mr. Gray opposed, on behalf of Mr. Edward Elias, builder, Netherfield.-road, It appeared that. the .insolvent had been engaged since 1857 _in very extensive building speculations The grounds on which Mr. G:ay founded his oppGsiti were, that the balance-sheet did not give a . fair insolvent's property, and that it was -ar no test of accuracy could be applied la it. :1 , coincided with Mr. G:ay's opinion, C1:1 , : i• sheet leas imperfect. lie. consequently ellaiii31;111 till the Novehiber, taat baki'. might. ,rmerly of C ; . • :..rdorted); •: -• by 3f:. lianilitOn the plea I;. solvent obtained goods re hi in the full knowledge of the .1 ; allftir6, and with the intention Ili:.', r • •: 1113 Uonour pei - Aponed the • 2 till Nov.'2:3rd. • Antoine Louis Dupont, teacher of i'rench in 1;,.d.'0r,1-street, street, suported by Mr..

The chief point on which opposition was raised, .was that the insolvent had granted- a, bill of sale on his furniture for £5OO to a friend of his own, residing in France,,imme diately -after a commitmeat summons had been issued against him by Messrs. Carmichael and Co. His Honour, however held there was no proof that the insolvent had• taken this course to defraud his other creditors.—The insolvent will be again examined on tho 6th of January.

[Before EDWARD JAMES, Esq., 41.C.,_Assessor.] Yesterday, the October sitting of the Court of Passage commenced at St. George's Hall. In the forenoon, a .number of unimportant cases were disposed ef. LEATHER, V. WEBBER.—This was an action brought to recover the sum of £25 19s. 6d., under the following circumstances :—Mr. Peter William Leather, the plain tiff, is a surgeon ; and Ed ward, Matthew Webber, the defendant, a tradesman in this town..—Messrs. Temple and Deighton appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Brett for the defendant.—From the statement of Mr. Temple, it would appear that the plaintiff had attended the wife of. Mr. Webber professionally, from the 27th of March, 1857, to the 16th of April, 1858. At' this time the defendant' and his wife were separated, but the plaintiff was . not aware of the fact he, how= ever, knew that'there were some family quarrels about the middle of April, 1858. Mr. 'Webber called upon Mr. Leather, and it was then only that Mr. Leather came to know the" defendant. Some conversation took place,. and` Mr. Webber acknowledged that he was liable for the doctor's bill; and promised to see Mr, Leather paid.' Mr. Leather sent in an account to Mr. Webber for £ll 9s. 6d. He continued to 'attend the wife of Webber until the end of November, when the amount' due reached to £25 19s. 6d. The defendant had paid' £9 into court, and admitted that- he was liable, but he disputed the accuracy of the accounts of Dr. Leather, and the further hearing of the case was postponed for the purpose of the doctor's day-book being produced. About an hour after, on it being brought into court, Mr. Leather was examined at great length on the various items. He denied that a number of the entries in the book 'were made at the same time; they were each entered on the day on which he had paid the visit. His charges were reasonable and moderate. In cross examination he said that no account for £25 19s. 6d. had been• sent 'into Mr. Webber previous to the writ being issued.—Mr. Brett then addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant. He said that the claim made by Mr. Leather was a false claim. He would bring forward evidence to show that: Mrs. Webber was not ill from April to November, and that Dr. Leather had forced himself upon Mr. Webber to give his adVice about a divorce case then going on. The learned advo cate contended that for the purpose of making out the slam of £25 19s. 6d., the plaintiff had made false entries in the book to substantiate his claim.. He had previously sent in an account amounting to £lO 9s. 6d., but now he wanted £25 19s. 6d. He would call a ,number of witnesses to show that Dr. Leather did not •pay - any professional visits to Mrs. Webber from April to November.—Mrs. Webber was then called. She positively declared that the plaintiff attended her professionally during the months of June, July, August, October, and November. He had called upon her several times, but not professionally. He took a great interest in her, and professed great dislike to her husband. On one occasion he examined her clothes, to see if. they could be pledged to raise money to defend her in the Divorce Court. He threatened, before her self and her mother, speaking of Mr. Webber, to make the scoundrel pay, for his insulting conduct. In cross examination, she stated that Mr. Dreaper put her into Bridewell for obtaining , a piano-forte from him on false pretences, and that on this occurrence she wrote to Mr. Leather to send a certificate in order that she might be released. Her husband had previously been sued for accounts which she had contracted. He had charged her with adultery before the case was settled i n the Divorce Court.—Samuel Oaks, the father of Mrs.' Webber, said that. Mrs. Webber was not ill from June to November.--Mrs. Oakes corroborated the above evidence, and also stated that on one occasion she met Mr. Leather in the street, when he said, "I'll make that scoundrel Webber pay for his insolence, but I'll divide with Mrs. Webber, for when I asked him for pay ment of my account he threatened to sent for a police man."—The learned Assessor, in summing up, said that if the verdict of the jury was against Dr. Leather, he would leave the court under imputations of no very light character, because it was stated that he had brought this action for his own wicked intentions, as it was alleged that' the entries made were false, and that the plaintiff had systernaticallytampered with his books. The learned Assessor then proceeded to give his views on the entries in the day-book of Dr. Leather, He said thttt the entries of Mrs. Webber's name were generally towards the ' bottom of the page, and that they were almost invariably in different coloured ink from the other entries. In conclusion, he told the jury that it teas for them to consider the evidence; if they thought that the entries were not genuine, they would give a verdict for the de fendant; if, on the other hand, they believed the evidence of'Dr. Leather, then the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict.—The jury then retired to consider their verdict. They" were absent about half an hour, and on their return said they found a verdict for the plaintiff of £ll 9s. 6d.—The Assessor : Then, gentlemen, you think that the entries in the book, from June to November, were fabricated.—The F oreman : W e d o. —The Assessor : And I perfectly agree with you.—The books were then impounded, with the view of ulterior proceedings against Dr. Leather. A CTIO N AGAINST AN ATTORNEY. --BRO WN V . GOD FREY.—Richard Rhodes Brown, the plaintiff, is a plumber in this town, and John Godfrey, the defendant, is an attorney. Some time ago. Brown brought an action against one Mr. Schwabbe, and obtained damns to the extent of £35. Mr. Godfrey was' his attorney and re ceived the money, and he had not yet settled with him. Plaintiff claimed altogether from Mr. Godfrey £4l ss. 6d., but acknowledged payment of £32 55. 6d. The defence was, that the plaintiff had received all the money that he was entitled to ; that the defendant had been doing, some other business for the plaintiff, and that the plain tiff gave the defendant a' 'receipt in full. This receipt, was produiced, and the words "balance of" were found . inserted above one of the lines. The plaintiff swore that the words were not in the receipt when he signed it, but Mr. Godfrey and his clerk swore that the words were written before the signature being put to the receipt. —The jury considered for a few minutes, and gave a verdict for the defendant. lioLLowav's Pima.--There is but one disease, the fountain of all others, bad,blood ; and but one infallible remedy, Hollo way's Pills.

PRESENTATION OF OF MEDALS FOR BRAVE SERVICES IN SAVING LIFE.—SOUTIIIVOLD, OCT. 24.—A public meeting was held here to-day in the Town 7 hall, Colonel Bence Bence in the chair, for the purpose of presenting the silver medal of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution to John Cragie, coxswain of the South wold lifeboat, and the .second service clasp to B. Her rineton 7 who had on a former occasion received th e society's medal, accompanied by copies of the institution's vote' inscribed on parchment, in testimony of their highly meritorious and gallant services, with others, in rescuing, in the Southwold lifeboat, which belongs to the National Institution, ten men and the master's wife _from the Prussian brig lueinde, of Memel, during the night of the 17th ult. It was at the time blowing a strong gale, and a heavy sea was running., This noble service was performed under very difficult circumstances, between ten and eleven o'clock at night. The lifeboat .was several times buried in the surf, and once so com pletely so that it was feared she had gone altogether. Her crew had also incurred considerable risk in performing the service, and it was the opinion of all that had it not been for the prompt arrival of the lifeboat at the scene of the wreck the poor creatures on board mast have in evitably perished. Indeed, the poor woman was nearly exhausted when she was taken into the lifeboat. The Town-hall was well filled on this occasion by- ladies and gentlemen. A procession had previously been formed by the lifeboat's crew from the boat house to the hall, it being headed by_Lieutenant Simmons, R.N., hon. secretary of the Southwold branch of the Institution, who carried a beautiful silk flag, on which'were inscribed the name of the Southwold lifeboat, and the South , wold Arms worked in it. The flag was some years ago presented to the lifeboat by Miss Sheriffe. The chair man having made some appropriate remarks suitable to the occasion, Miss Sheriffe presented, arnidst.the applause 'of the spectators, to each of the above-named men his medal. The crew of the lifeboat, consisting of fifteen men, had previously been awarded £2 each for their gallant services ; but each man was, on _this occasion :presented in addition with a well bound demy. Bible, inside which was written his name, and a suitable in scription stating the cause of its presentation. GALLANT ()AMER OF ONE RISEN FROM THE RANKS.---Intelligence was received by the last mail from India of the death of Captain Lawson, of the 42nd Highlanders, resulting from a wound on the knee received during the suppression of the mutiny. The career of this gallant soldier is worthy of note.. Captain Lawson, who was a native of Lanark, entered the army in 1837, having before that time been employed as a ploughboy. He served as a non-commissioned officer for nearly 16 years, during which period he gained for him self the confidence and respect of his superiors, and the affection and esteem of his fellow-soldiers. . In 1854 he embarked with the regiment for the Crimea, was present at the Alma, and passed unscathed through all the , hardships and perils of that memorable campaign. After 4nkerman, along with a number of deserving non-commissioned officers serving in other regiments, he received.: his ' commission as ensign. In March, 1855, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant, and for some time previous to the conclusion. of the war acted as captain in the late Land Transport Corps. On his return to England, in 1856, he rejoined the 42nd, and shortly after received the appointment of instructor of musketry to the 'regiment. At this time, also, the magistrates and council of. Lanark ' (his native town), in consideration of his distinguished con duct, agreed to present him with the freedom of that an cient burgh ; this, honour, however, the gallant gentleman never had an opportunity of personally receiving. The outbreak of the Indian mutiny-called him again to the field, and in August, 1857; he left. England with the head quarters of the regiment for Calcutta. In 1858 he ob tained jiis commission as captain, and shortly after received the, wound which, on the 18th of August last,,ended his honourable career. Captain Lawson commanded the piquet of the.42nd,•B7 in number, which was engaged in the terrible fight on the banks of the Suarda, on the ; morning ,of the Asth of January, with upwards of 2,000 rebels. The little band of HighlandeM defended them- , selves with, extraordinary courage from sunrise to sunset, until : relief arrived from General Walpele. , Captain Lawson was honourably mentioned in 'the general's dis patches, for the manner in which he acquitted himself on that day.--Scotsman, THE WEST DERBY GUARDIANS. The weekly meeting of this board was held yesterday, at the Workhouse ; Mr. Pitts, the chairman, preSided ;: and the other members present were—Messrs. J. Edwards, Pilling, Parker,' Wensley, Roscoe, Garrett, Hayes, Ledger, Whitby,, Richmond, Roberts,. Wareham, and Shaw. Mr. Gough, the governor of the workhouse, reported that the number of inmates in the workhouse was, last week, 651 ; since -then, 34 had been aihnitted, cue born,' and 25 discharged,--making this week 659, and for the corresponding week of last year 633. Of that number 364 belonged to the township of Toxteth Park. The hospital returns 'showed the number of inmates to be 112, and for the corresponding week of last year 79, of which 28 beloliged to. Toxteth Park. • Cheques to the amount of £l7B was granted for the relief of the out-door poor.

The first he explained-as 'lasing arisen. from an error of his watch. In the other a blank denial was given to the statement made by the mother of the child, and.the denial (was. supported by-a witness whom.' he called, and who was 'present at one of the interviews between Mrs. Walters and himself. The charge con sequently fell to the g roun d ; but a good. deal-of-angry, feeling was manifested by some members.of the board during.the investigation. A laughable episode occurred during the .proceedings. • It appears that Mar g aret Clarke, the woman who some time since attempted - to affiliate a child upon the master of the workhouse, lodges ! with Mrs. Walters, and the latter w s ,as asked if any of the guardians were in thehtibit visiting this Margaret . Clarke. She looked around the board, and pointed out, amidst roars of laughter, Mr. Ledger as having been twice there. Ledger; who is upwards of 70 years of age, at once rose, and, umidstcontinued latighter, in-' dignantly denied the imputation. Mrs. Walters then frankly confessed that she had been mistaken in his identity. The board then adjourned.

THE EARL OF HARRINGTON ON MR. BRIGHT.— Monday last was the rent day at Elvaston Castle, when the Earl and Countess of Harrington, Visoount Peter sham, Lady Geraldine Stanhope, together with a party of friends,.dined with his lordship's Elvaston tenantry, in the gothic hall of the castle.—After the usual loyal toasts, the Earl of Harrington proposed " The agri cultural interest—the Conservative power of the Con stitution." He thus alluded to Mr. Bright : "Heis a great patriot, a famed orator, a rigid economist, a friend of peace, and of disarmaments. To reach his ends-- his reform of parliament and his further views are of such an ultra-democratic character, that if acted on, they would lead first to a republic, when Mr. Bright would be obliged to moderate his extreme no tions ; the red republicans would riot over his Quakerish views, and establish their" wild liberty, which would, as in every country in Europe, be followed by despotism ; or, as in France, by universal suffrage and the bayonet.' There again his disarmaments would be an invitation to the great military powers of the Continent, to'France, Germany, and Russia, with , their two millions of highly disciplined and brave men, to invade our empire of the seas. Remember, too, that Napoleon is making friends, and by degrees robbing us of our allies. Gentlemen, our constitution •is based on a rock that has stood the storms of ages. It has saved us from _revolutions and' invasions, and those ills which the Continent have suffered. Gentlemen, there have been in our days two systems of politics—the Machiavellian of Prince Metternich and. the ultra democratic system of Mr. John Bright. The Prince Metternich .T knew well, and, like Mr. Bright, he was a man replete with .virtuous intentions. His ultra monarchical system drew men into republicanism, and, after fifty years of trial, has broken down ; and, thank God, Italy-triumphs. Mr. John Bright's system, too, has been tried in France by men of great talent and virtue, and all over the Continent, where it has led to hopeless despotism; in fact, neither Prince Metternich nor Mr. J. Bright is a sound statesman. LOSS OF THE BARQUE BEATRICE.—SUFFERINGS OF THE. CREW.—On the 3rd September last, the barque Beatrice, of, Sunderland, commanded by Capt. Turnbull, the owner, sailed, timber laden, from Quebec, bound for Sunderland. A 'short time after their departure, the vessel, when upwards of 800 miles from land, encoun tered a heavy gale from the N.E. ; the vessel sprung a leak, and the whole of ,tke crew pumped for three days without effect ; and when in 40 deg. 15 min. west longi tude 51 deg. 25 min. north latitude, the vessel became water-logged.'
