LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.—Yx: Tsßta! [Before Mr. MANSFIELD.] RIVTRAORDINARY CHAROE •OP HORSE STEALiNO. w i n.' Hicks; sen., who is a respectable . provisien and . provender dealer in Regent's-road, and Wra. Hicks, jun., (his son,) provision dealer and baler at' North Egremont, were charged with stealing a mare, value £24. Mr. Cobb appeared for the prisoners. The pro secutor, Mr. Baskin, a farmer and horse dealer in New town, Mount Charles, county Donegal, 'lreland, con duOted his own case. It appeared from his statement that he came over from Ireland on the 2nd inst., bring ing with him a mare for the 'purPose . of selling her. He was advised to go to the elder prisoner, • where he agreed to engage a stall in his stable at 6d. her night. The prosecutor end eavoure d t o se ll t h e orse at Lucas's and at Ormiskirk fair, but was, unsuccessful, and on Saturday night lasthe and the elder prisoner made a bargain for the sale of the animal, at £24. The•younger prisoner, who was present at the time, threw him half-a-crown as " earnest" money. The parties then separated. On the following 'day, the Sab bath, the prosecutor went to a -Wesleyan Chapel. On his return he. was shocked to .see the younger prisoner on the back of his mare, which had _just returned into the yard, after having; been out for exercise:. This de secration of the , Sabbath did' not please Baskin, and he ordered voung Hieks to alight. The prosecutor here entered into a long and rambling di . , -ression about reli.; gion, horse-racing, and the revivals in. Ireland ; wind ing,up with saying, that it was young Hicks' proceedings on the Sabbath that induced him to withdraw from the bargain. He saw the . prisoners on Monday evening) and, told them that he would not let them have the mare, and demanded the key of the stable. This they refused. On Tuesday morning, he went t o th e stable to feed the horse,, and was astonished to find that it had been removed. He went to the police-office in Hatton-garden, and gave information. - Officer 141 said he arrested the eider prisoner at his place of business in Regent-road, and he took. hint to Egremont, where they met. Hicks, juu., who took them to a stable about three quarters of a mile off, where the mare was. The officer and the two Hicks', together with the mare, were brought to Hatton-garden. While the elder Hicks and the officer were inside of the police-office, young Hicks mounted the mare and rode off. He was apprehended afterwards in Great Howard-street, and charged with stealing the mare. He replied :that -it was . his, as he had bought it. Mr. Cobb,. who; :as already stated, appeared for the prisoners, cross-examined the prosecutor at considerable length; during which the court was kept in uproarious laughter. In the , course of -his replies, the prosecutor said he was not so religious a man as he ought to he, still he thought it a sin that a horse should be exercised on the Sabbath. He would never willingly allow such an occurrenee.to take place, but, on being pressed, he acknowledged that he had gone to Ormskirk on Sunday evening on horse back; but, he added he went to church, immediately. on his arrival in Ormskirk. He tried to sell the mare on the-Monday, but could not get his price. The manner in which the mare was to be paid for, it was admitted, was this--.£lo last Monday, and £l4 on the 14th of May. Prosecutor alleged that the £lO was not offered or paid on the Monday ; and he, therefore, was of opi nion that the bargain was at an end, and he refused to part with the mare. She, however, was in the stable, and the prisoners refused to deliver her up to him. Mr. Cobb said he should call a witness, who would prove that ten sovereigns were offered to the prosecutor ; that he,refused the money, and went away,—and, if such was preyed, he called upon his worship to discharge the prisoners, who would, in that case, go away from the dock without the slightest_ stain .on their • character. They had made a bargain, which they were willing to fulfil, and had offered to fulfil all the conditions of that bargain. Consequently the mare was theirs, and the prosecutor had no right to it. Mr. Gould, who witnessed the transactions between the prisoners and the prosecutor, who came _ into the court shortly afterwards, gave his evidence to this effect:— On SatUrday evening; he was at the Shop 'of the elder prisfner when Baskin came in and offered to sell the mare: - He asked £25 for it; lant.llicks did not appear to be very eager about it, as he said he had not sufficient money at present to pay for the animal. Baskin said that he did not want all the money now, and ultimately Hicks purchased 'the, mare for £24-110 to be paid on the Monday . following, and the remaining £l4 to be paid on the 14th of May, and the younger prisoner gave a h f-erct wn to the proseen tor to bind the bargain. On the Monday, witness went to Hicks's, shop to sea the, 410 paid, and the bar_ pleted. The elder prisoner tendered ten sovereigns to the prosecutor. For some cause or other the latter seemed to have changed his 6Pinion, andle refused the money, saying he would have.nothing to do with them. He also threw the half-crown which he had received on Saturday down on the counter, and bounced out of the sho Hicks did not want to break the bargain, and he gave Gould 'the ten sovereins - to attend at the table on the following morning, and offer it to the prosecutor. He did so, but it was again refused. Mr. Mansfield said that Mr. Baskin must have misunderstood the " earnest" which was paid; to rescind bargain it required the consent of both parties, and it certainly did not appear that there were any nefarious designs upon the part of the prisoners. They would, of course; have to pay for the. mare, in accordance with the bargain. 'The prisoners were discharged. AN ILNRECOGNISED MEMBER OP THE ROYAL FAMILY. —A's Cry tall woman, named Mary Brassy, was brought up under the. following 'circumstances engaged a cab to the. Railway Station in Lime-street. When arriyethere,-she informed the cabman that she hati_no, money, and of course she could not pay him. However, she said as she was going to Carlisle to a grand tourna ment,--where she was to meet her cousin, Victoria,-Queen of England, and her friend Prince Albert,' she would obtain supplies, and remit the money to the cabman. Lord Palmerston would also be in attendance, and she would meet with numerous friends and acquaintances. As she was a Countess, " Cabby" would of course trust to her honour for payment. He had ,no faith in that, however, and would do no such thing, so the Countess was given into custody. She is believed to be insane, and was remanded for the purpose of being examined by a doctor. . gain com- [Before Messrs. CASTELLAIN and GRANT.' SANITORY INFORMATIONS.—" THE LAST OF £10,000." —There were a number of sanitary informations brought before the court, and amongst them was one against an old woman, half clothed, named Elizabeth Corbett. The charge against her by the officers of the Health Commit tee was that, although she was the owner of a house in Combermere-street, she was in the habit of letting all the apartments to lodgers, whilst she herself slept in the cellar, which was a low and ill-ventilated place. When asked by the magistrates what she bad to say to the charge, the defendant did not deny the allegations of the officers, but in a strain of considerable volubility, she pro ceeded to relate her past - misfortunes to the cond.. She said " This house is all that remains of £lO,OOO which I had some years ago. My husband deserted me, and after wards I was brought up before the late Mr. Rushton, who committed me to the house of correction for fourteen dap. I have been in a low state of mind ever since." The magistrates inflicted a fine of ss. SMOKE INFORMATIONS, There were several smoke informations brought against proprietors of chemical works, soap boilers, and others. M'Gowan said that he was about to lay before the bench the particulars of several cases, in which, notwithstanding repeated en th ts e proprietors of different manufacturing establishments t ,, h l e . town continued to carry on their works with in n whereby large quantities of smoke were emitted, ebigence, con trary to the terms of the local act. Several notices been served upon the parties, and the officers had re peatedly called upon them, but still they hal been unable to induce them to do what was right, and now he asked the bench, when the cases should have been proved, to inflict the penalty imposed by the act, of £5. The first caseihe would bring before them, was that of Messrs. Thomas. Lutwyche and Sons, the pro prietors of the chemical works, in Pumpfields. He understood that those gentlemen were represented by Mr. Forshaw. Inspecter Wignal stated that, on the 3rd instant, he noticed a dense volume of black smoke proceeding from the chimney . of the defendants' works. It continued for eight minutes and a-half. He went upon the premises, and complained to the foreman. He knew the condition of the furnaces, and that there no difficulty whatever in firing up, and getting rid of h th e e n S t ok in from. one and a-half to two minutes. visited the premises, after seeing the smoke, he saw that the furnaces had just been overloaded with Coal and slack. In cross-examination by Mr . H. Forshaw, the in spector said he was that what he saw on the fur naces was coal and sm o k e. Mr. Forshaw, on b e h alf of the defendants, denied that. what the inspector aw. was coal and slack. His 1 elicits, in the course 'of. their business, were•compelled to use a material, consisting of sulphate of soda; and the combination was of such a nature that, when it was put upon the furnaces, it did, for a short time, cause a dense black smoke. He should call before them people on the premises, who would tell them that it was riot the coal, which produced the imoke, but the material which he had named, and which they must use in the course of their business. He contended that if he proved that coal on the furnaces was not the cause of the smeke, the magistrates could not convict on the information as it was now laid against them ; hut that if the authorities desired -a conviction, they 'must proceed" under another section of the act, which provided a remedy in cases wherethe carrying,. on of a busi ness was a nuisance to the neighbourhood. If Mr. M`Gowan would boldly make a'charge of that kind against the defendants, he should be prepared, on their behalf,- to : meet it ; and should an information - so made succeed, then the defendants mast close their premises ; but at T i the e .smoke; .defendants oke ; aand d o weren the ve r y -eau occasionsi very -cautious s present he held that the bench co u ld not i n fli ct a winhenketelipe rirdltoywn. sulphate of soda was put upon the furnace 4, the emis sion of smoke did net last mac - than - b ou t th ree or four rAinutes Mr. Nolan, foreman to the defendants, was then called, and stated that when the inspector called on the 3rd instant, when the smoke was issuing. he (witness) told him that it was not caused by coal, but by the sulphate of soda., .It .Was that material- which he saw at the time, and not coal or slack. Mr. Caitellain—How long will the smoke caused by this material last ? Witness—Not more than , four or five minutes at the most. . Mr. Forshaw—But you say that this material, when it is put on the furnaces, inevitably causes a dense smoke for a time ? Witness—lt does. The witness underwent a lengthened cross-examina tion by Mr. M'Gowan ; and, after a discussion between the bench and. the respective attoznies, a fine of forty shillings and costs was,imposefl. , Messrs. James Muspratt and c 0,., •of the chemical works, Vauxhall-road, were summoned for allowing smoke to be emitted from their chimney on Sunday, the 11th instant.,—lnspector Wig,nall stated that he noticed smoke . issuing from the defendants' chimney on the 11th. It- continued for nine minutes.—A gentle man who attended from . the defendants' works said that he admitted that,: 'on the occasion- referred to, there might have been more smoke thari usual ; but he thought it very hard that they should be brought up when it was known that there was no firm in the town more careful tban they were. It was very likely owing to a slight oversight on the part of the men, and he thesht that, under the circumstances, it ought not to have' been notieed.Mr. Castellani : You must pay a fine of £5, and make your men _ bear it.—Defendant : It is a very hard case. , Mr. Thomas Croft, soap boiler, Comm-street, fined 40s. and costs, for allowing his chimney to smoke eight minutes, on the 3rd instant. Mr. W. Hilliar, proprietor of the Eastham steamers, summoned for allowing smoke for eight minutes from the funnel of one of his steamers, was fined 40s. and costs. Mr. Jonathan Atkinson ' soap boiler, Vauxhall-road, summoned for allowing dense black smoke from his chimney for seven minutes and a-half, fined 40s. and costs. Mr. Thomas Higginson, rice mills, Lydia Arm-street, fined £3 and costs; for chimney being allowed to smoke eight Minutes - Mr. Thomas Hadfield, chemical works, Pumpfield Chimney smoking nine minutes, on the 3rd instant, 40s and costa. TEE PROPRIETOR OP TER SEEL-STREET STEAM SAW MILLS AND MR. M'OOWAN. Mr. J. B. Slater, proprietor of the steam saw Mills in Seel-street, was summoned for allowing dense rolumes of black smoke to issue from the- chimney of his works on the 28th of Atigust, On•the case bait 'called on, Mr. Slater, with considerable warmth - , complained that he had only received the summons that morning, and had been put to very great inconvenience and ex pense in consequence, as it had prevented him from going out of town. After some discussion, Mr. M'Gowan remarked that Mr. Slater might have come to the office, and in that case be would have postponed the hearing. • Inspector Wignall staied,, that on the 28th of August large masses of black smoke were issuing from the de fendant's chimney for seven minutes and a.half. Mr. Slater denied that his chimney made black smoke, and said it was no nuisance at all. Mr. M'Gowan said that the defendant's chimney was one of the greatest nuisances in the neighbourhood, and that he had been repeatedly warned. Mr. Slater replied that he had done all in his power to keep down the smoke, and he considered he was harshly treated. There were numerous firms whose chimneys were making far more smoke than his, and yet they were never summoned. How was it that Messrs. Horsfall & Co., of. the Mersey Foundry, were not sum moned ? They might be summoned every day ; and yet nothing was done to interfere with them ' although they made more black smoke than any other firm in Liver pool.. He supposed it was because Mr. Horsfall was member for Liverpool. (Loud laughter.) Mr. M'Govern—Mr. Slater, you know the difficulty there is in the case of Messrs. Horsfall and Sons. Mr. Castellain—We must impose a penalty of £5 and costs. Mr. Slater (with warmth)—l shall appeal against it, TILE EGREMONT AND NEW BRIGHTON STEAMERS Messrs. W. R. Colborne and Co., proprietors of the Egremont and New-Brighton steamers, were summoned for allowing smoke to issue from the funnel of the steamer Liscard on the 11th instant. Inspector Wignal stated that, on the 11th instant, he noticed a large volume of black smoke issuing from the funnel of the steamer Liscard. It continued for eight minutes. He knew that the furnaces on board this vessel were in good order, and that there was no difficulty in firing up and getting the smoke down in from one-and a-half to two minutes. He had frequently seen the smoke put down by their own men in two minutes. Mr. Colborne said that, in leaving the Landing,.-stage on_the ringing of the bell, they must fire up, and it was quite impossible to do so and subdue the smoke in two minutes. They were as careful as they possibly could be. A fine of £3 and costs was imposed. THE FREDERICK-STREET BATHS.-A CORPORATE OFFICIAL FINED James Young, superintendent of the Frederiek-stree Baths, was next called on his summons, upon which t. Mr. M'Gowan said—This is a complaint against,one of the servants of the corporation, and I must ask your worships not to have a grain of mercy upon him. Inspector Wignal stated that, on the afternoon of the 22nd of August, between four and five o'clock, he noticed large quantities .of smoke coming from the chimney of the Frederick-street Baths and Washhouses. It continued for seven minutes. He had often been on the premises, and knew that there was no difficulty Whatever in firing up in one and a-half or two minutes. The defendant said he admitted the smoke, but it was not through his neglect. Some pipes had burst, and the water got into the flues. He was fined forty shillings and costs. Alexander Fane, rope and rag dealer, St. Andrew street, was fined forty shillings and costs—chimney smoking for eight minutes. Archibald Lamont, biscuit baker, Brownlow-hill,-- chimney smoking for seven minutes on the morning of the 3rd instant, fined forty shillings and costs. iIoUsEKEEPER.S.—The Coffee sold by Thompson Brothers. 5, Elliott-street, at Is. 4d., is better than you pay is.

The usual weekly meeting of thiii body was held yesterday, at the Workhouse, Everton. Mr. Pitts presided, and the other guardians present were — Messrs. H. Edwards, Reyes, Whitby, Morris, T. Edwards, Roscoe, Mawdsley, Abrahams, Wareham, Medcalf, Smith, and NYensley. Aceording to the report of the Governor, the number of paupers in the workhouse was—last week, 614 ; since then 25 had been adMitted, and 27 discharged, whilst one had died. This week there were 611 ; for the cor responding week of last year, 635 ; belonging to the ToxtethiArk Union' 322. The number o f patients in the hospital last week was 94 ; admitted, 7 ; discharged; 9 ; death, 1; this week, 9 ,eoiresperidii* iiieek of last year, 82. Thirty-one of the patients belong to To xteth-p irk Union. . The relief cases having been heaid, . . - 3fr. LESLIE, chaplain of the workheuse, attended the board to complain of the reqUirement that he should ,vive three services to the inmates, and of remarks made .by Members at the meeting list week. He said he had occasion to complain of the' unjust and ungentionS attacks which had been- made upon him, from time to time, at that board. The liAlnmA - N , thotiglit he had better not makeremarkii . Mr. LESLIE said remarks had been mad e uponlim7tt. that board, and he thought it would be unfair if heshould not be allowed, to answer them. His character was in the hands of the board, and he wished. to defend himself. Mr. H. EDWARDS said there, had been no remark made at the board prejudicial to his character. Mr. - LESLIE - said they were contained in the papers of last Thursday, which he held in his hand. One gentle man had said his servioegmight be made shorter : ano ther had said they were already . short enough. Now, since his appointment, he had read the' whole Church of En , 4land service: in its entirety. Another gentleman had said his heart*as 'not in the work.' 'Such a man was to be pitied. Was he less diligent in his work than before ?—less diligent than his predecessors ? (A voice, " Yes:4 . Had the guardians ever .made a complaint? The statement was untrue. . • Mr. IL EDWARDS' —Mr. Chairman, I beg to cpll to order. Mr. LisLin said he considered it nothing but perse cution. The Chairman had stated it was his ill-health which had made him object to three services on Sun days. His objection then, and now, was that it was both unreasonable and unjust He had letters from the Poor-law Board, which showed that this pro position of three services had met -a negative. He could. only say that it was not required from his predecessors, nor had it been from him lately ; but they had better understand their positions. Had they a right, either by . the spirit or letter of the law, to require three full services on a Sunday ? The CHAIRMAN said: if three services were thought unreasonable he might state that Mr. Holmes, of the Industrial Schools, bad told him that he had four ser vices, at least three services and a lecture, and that he could do it comfortably. He did not think three ser vices were out of the way, for a person of Mr. Leslie's age, if he were willing to perform them. Mr. H. EDWARDS had understood Mr. Leslie to say his reason was that his throat was sore. Mr. LESLIE said that was not his objection. Ile did not make it an objection. Mr. H. EDWARDS—Then eitheryou or Itchl an untruth. Mr. LESLlE—Either you or I must be under a. mis apprehension, but you state it as .a fact. Mr. Cleaver will bear me out. Mr. CLEAVER, the clerk, said it- was given 'as a reason that Mr. Leslie had an affection of the throat, and therefore could not give three services in the day. Mr. LEsirE. said that, to show he did not shirk any work, he should submit to lay the matter before the Lord Bishop of Chester, or six clergymen chosen from any given locality. Mr. IL EDWARDS--WO have nothing to do with the Lord Bishop of Chester. The CHAIRMAN—Are you goin t t to perform it ? • Mr. LESLIE—I don't think laymen are capable of judging what a clergyman's duty is. Mr. IL EDWARDS—Is there anything se extraordinary that a layman cannot judge of what a clergyman is able to do ? It is the most ridiculous thing I ever saw. You are idle the whole week, and yet cannot perform three services on a Sunday. Mr. FRENCH said the doctor would not do extra duties without extra pay Perhaps that was Mr. Leslie's objection. H, EDWARDS—I think Mr. Leslie handsomely paid already. After some further painful altercation, Mr. LESLIE said he should decline to take upon him the third service till he was compelled to do so. Mr. ISAAC EDWARDS thought Mr. Leslie quite justi fied in his determination. Mr. H. ED - WARDS moved that the further discussion of the question be adjourned for a week.—Agreed to. _ The other miscellaneous business before - the board does not call for public mention. Some tenders were then accepted, and the board ad journed. THE PRESERVATION OF MILK In section B. of the British Association, at Aberdeen, M. l'Abbe Meigne read the following paper " On the Preservation of Milk" : To preserve milk for an indefinite period is an import.. ant problem, which in France has been solved in three different modes. M. De Villenence was the first to pre serve milk, solidifying it by the addition of certain solid ingredients, but it was no longer, properly speaking, milk. M. De. Signac preserved it by evaporating the milk till it became of the consistence of syrup, rendering it a sold mixture of milk and sugar, still it could not be called milk. M. Maben also preserved it by excluding the air and exposing it to an atmosphere of steam about 100 degs. cent.—thus depriving it of all the gases which it contained, and then hermetically sealing the filled bottles in which it had been heated. When about to leave for 'Aberdeen, I opened a bottle which had been closed by M. Maben on the 14th of Feb., 1854 ; and. after a lapse of five and a-half years, I found it as fresh as it was the first day. M. De Pierre has greatlyimproved the discovery. The means which he employs to effect the preservation of milk, is still heat ; but heat applied in some peculiar way, by manual dexterity, first dis covered by a Swiss shepherd. All that lam allowed to state is, that the effect of this new method of applying heat is to remove a sort of diustore, or animal ferment, which exists in milk in a very small quantity, and which is the real cause of its speedy decomposition. When this species of ferment is removed, milk can be pre served for an indefinite perioA. of time in vessels not quite full, and consequently exposed to the contact of rarified air, a result which was not effected by the process of M. Maben, or rather that of M. Gay Lussac, as they completely expelled those gases which other wise would have rendered it sour. I have such full confidence in the success of M. De Pierre's process, that I had not the least hesitation in bringing along with me from Paris to Aberdeen a large vessel contain ing five gallons of milk, fearlessly trusting it to railroads and steam-boats, thus exposing it to all the incidents of the journey. lam so confident of the success of the process, that I pour out the contents of this large vessel into Scotch glasses with the conviction that I am gi v i ng to the ladies and gentlemen of the British Association a milk as natural, as pure, and as rich as when it was taken from the cow in the fertile plains of Normandy. May this potion, so sweet and so pure, be a symbol of those sentiments of benevolent affection which France, flourishing and enlightened, entertains towards her noble and great sister England. Owing to its greater specific lightness, cream ascends to the top of the vessel, but it can be easily m . ade to diffuse itself th roug h t h e milk by slightly shakingit before uncorking the bottle. As the vessel is not quite full, a small quantity of butter may have been formed, and the milk may h ave b ecome somewhat less rich, but it will still be pure and natural milk, without any strange taste. Thanks to the progress of science, of which T am happy to be the representative, France can yield with profit to England her fruits, her vegetables, her eggs, and now offers her prepared milk for the wants of the army and navy, having nothing to fear from the longest voyages, nor from the excesses of heat and cold. From this date forward, after making any communication, English vessels my procure milk in London in the centre of the city, 87, Great Tower-street, provision warehouse. This is an invaluable resource for travellers. After the vessel is uncorked, the milk is in the condition of natural milk, and can only be kept sweet about forty-eight hours as with ordinary milk. This process can be applied equally well to cream or whey. Persons to whom these may be prescribed by their medical attendant, need no longer go to seek them in the mountain cabin or the lowland farm ; they will find in Paris or in London the best whey of Normandy or the Alps. Without doubt the price of pr eserve d m ilk is high ; it cou ld no t b e sold in England at less than a ' shilling a quarter of gallon, but even at this price it w ill be much sought after. THE ISI i ti'7OFIIOX,TELEeit, r APTI C. LE Our readers are douhtleas aware Ak . for some days past . therehas unhappily been - a - pause in the telegraphic communications between the island and England, but". whether the stoppage was caused by some slight disarrangements in the lino — of wires on the other side, or by some flaw in the cable itself, was at first un . . known. At all events, th! directors of the Insular Telegraph Company thought that there was not anyi reason for - despondency in the interruption, and forth with ' adopted the necessary and most ejcpeditions means to have the defect speedily detected and re medied. Having placed themselves in communication, with the Electric and International _eonapany, Lon don, that company at once took steps to have the line of land wires from St. Bee's Head examined, and the cable itself tested, 'and the' experiments made resulted in the belief hat the cause' of the interruption was an injury which the subniarine cable had sustained, and that, too, within a short distance of the Point of Ayr, which has, unfortunately, proved to be the case. The directors of the Insular Company having resolved upon' raising the cable for examination, the electric and International Telegraph Company instructed Mr, Preece; C.E., their inspector of submarine cables, to proceed to the island to superintend the lifting and repairing of the 'table, so that telegraphic communication might again be re-eitablished. Mr. Preece arrived in Do glas on Monday last by the - steamer Reliance, Captain Harvey, engaged in lieu of, the steamer Resolute, which had been previously . employed •in laying the cable, but was at present unable to proceed ,to sea, having met with an accident- off Holyhead upwards of a week ago. The Reliance having taken on board the surplus portion of the cable, which had been placed in a store on the South Quay, left Douglas for the; Point of Ayr, on Monday night last, having on board Ain-Harris, the indefatim * able and zealous chair man of the Insular Company, Mr. Preece, and a skilful staff of assistants and workmen. At an earlyhouron Tuesday morning, although the' -weather was anything but propitious for an undertaking - of such a nature, and a very heavy cross sea running at the time, the process of lifting the cable was counnenced by cutting it at a distance of al,Out half a mile from the Point of. Ayr. A buoy, having been affixed to the. end of that portion of the cable extending to the. Point of Ayr and attached to the land wires, and the other end having been taken on board the vessel,. the' line of cable was then raised by means of a steam windlass and coiled on the !leek, as the steamer proceeded slowly, but steadily towards St. Bee's-head: at the rate of half a mile an hour. Nothing of importance occurred until about two o'clock p.m., and within three miles of the Point of Ayr, when a difficulty was experienced in raising the cable, owing to some came which was not at first sight perceptible. After some, time, the difficulty was overcome, and all on board were surprised to find appearing above the surface of the water: about 225 yards of the cable, so twisted as to form. a: knot not unlike in its intrications to what we may suppsse was the Gordian knot, and to all appearance equally difficult to unravel, and covered on each side antiiiv its various hitches with large quantities of • floating- seaweed. At length, after considerable exertions, this.' muss of telegraphic Cable and seaweed was got ore board ; it was perceived at the same time that the steamer was fast drifting from her course,.and the consequent conchi; sion at once arrived at waa, that the cable was at-thatspot 'broken, which unhappily in a short time turned' out to be the fact. The broken portion of the cable having been taken on board, the steamer returned to the island, the wind having- considerably increased, blowing hard from the north-east, and anchored off the Point of Ayrduring Tuesday night, with the intention of proceeding at an early hour on Wednesday morning to ascertahrthe con dition of the remaining portion of the cable which ex tended to St. Bees Head. However, owing to- the in creasing boisterousness of the weather, and the heavy sea which had arisen during Tuesday night, the inspector and Capt. Harvey deemed it prudent to return to- Douglas, where the vessel arrived at an early hour on Wednesday morning, and anchored in the bay till tide time, when she entered the harbour for the purpose of landing the injured portion' of the cable, which was placed in the Oki. Court-house on the pier, to be re paired. The weather having moderated, the steamer again left Douglas about two o'clock on Thursday morn ning, in order to grapple for the other end of the , oable, and, if necessary, to lift a portion of it. The steamer again returned to. Douglas yesterday. at .noon, having succeeded in discovering the other end of the injured' cable. Owing, however; to the still coarse and tempest uous state of the weather, and the violence of the gale, not more than two- miles' length of the cable could be lifted,' which, as it was raised, 'was coiled on the deck,—those on board fearing lest the Strain on the cable caused by the pitching of the vessel would snap it. Having severed the length of cable lifted, the remaining portion, extending , to. St. Bee's Head, was -tested, and, we' are happy to' say, with a satisfactory resulfr--the currents passing. through it being 'clear, sufficiently powerful, and distinct: The testing being complete, a buoy was attached to the end. Wes understand that the steamer will leave probably the next tide to lift another-por tion of the cable, as we believe it is intended to re lay the cable in a different line, somewhere about two miles nearer Ramsey, so as to escape the force -of the tides running at the Point of Ayr, as well as to secure for it a sandy bed. We cannot but express our- great regret at the misfortune which has befallen the sub .marine cable ; however, we believe that the directors of our Insular Company will not lose any time in repairing and re-laying the cable, and - in re-establishing tele ' graphic communication with England wit's success, we trust, 'afore decided and more abiding Wail, that which has hitherto: attended it.—Manx Sun, DEATH OF COLONEL WILDMAN. —Colonel' Wildman, of Newstead Abbey, died on Tuesday morning ) , the 20th instant, suddenly. The gallant colonel was out the day previously, but on Tuesday morning was seized with'an attack of epilepsy, of which he died at- three (Mock a.m. on Tuesday. The deceased was the intimate friend of the late Lord Byron, and purchased , the ancestral estate (Newstead Abbey, where Lord Byron spent much of his time during the period that he was a minor) for the sum of £90,000. The deceased was an old Waterloo officer, ,belonging to the 10th Hussars.; and was a ma gistrate for the county of Nottingham. lb was an excellent landlord, and, throughout the neighbourhood was universally respected. .

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM A Den OF RATPLESNAKES.—In the Isthmus of Panama, an emigrant family inadvertently fixed their cabin on the shelving declivity of a ledge that proved a den of rattlesnakes. Warmed by the first fire on the hearth of the cabin, the terrible reptiles issued in great numbers, and of course, in rage, by night, into the room where the whole family slept. As happens in those cases, Satllo slept on the floor and some in beds. Children in the arms of their parents, and in each other's arms. The reptiles spread in every part of the room, and mounted on every bed, hissing and shaking their rattles, and displaying in the most fear ful manner their envenomed fangs an'' scarlet throats, with double tongues, glowing like two flames of fire, and with eyes of burning coala. Most of the family awoke, shriek ing terribly, and convulsed with fear. Imagination dares not dwell on the horrors of such a scene. But what is dearer than life ? The invention of man is seldom at a loss to find expe dients for its preservation in cases of great extremity. On a sudden the good paterfamilias reeollected that in his chest, close by his bedside, lay some bottles containing a chemical fluid which he had purchased in Liverpool previous to sailing, and which he knew to be destructive to all inferior orders of animal life. To this chest he flung his arm with all imaginable speed, and, opening it, grasped the battles, broke, and show ered, and scattered their contents in all directions, when, in an instant, to the overwhelming joy of the family, who escaped unhurt, the horrid reptiles lay dead in masses on the floor and beds. On receiving this communication, curiosity led us to inquire to see the bottles, which were courteously and gratefully shown us, and which we observed labelled, " Greer's Patent Anti-Vermin Lotion, for the destruction of bugs and fleas in dwellings, insects on animals, trees, and plants," including musquitoes and reptiles cf every descrip tion, with the name and address of the manufacturer, " Robert Greer, Chemist, Anti-Vermin Office, 49, Brownlow-hill, Liver pool." The celebrity which this circumstance has acquired for the reputation of the article and its manufacturer in this part of the new world, has already inspired a large population to unite in sending for a large supply, to be forwarded by next steamer, together with a complimentary address, on parch ment, to Mr. Greer, on being so happily identified in the pro vidential escape of a whole family from a den of rattlesnakes. —Panama and South American Observer.

In. eompliance with this ,resohttion, Mr. John 'Watson, of Parliament-street, London, the contractor for the above-mentioned railway, has, selected a small vessel from the shipyards on the Clyde, which is pronounced by many experienced and practical men who have visited her to be a' beautiful yacht model. The navigation of this vessel has been intrusted to Captain Breckon, under whose able direction, after a remark ably rapid passage, the Little Lucy was handed over in safety to the company in Bahia. As in the case of her contrast, the Great Eastern, many were the prognostications of failure in that of the Little Lucy; happily, however ' - an able crew, under a skilful and energetic captain, have proved- what cool heads and steady hands are able to accomplish in a small but well-built craft even in the face of decidedly adverse weather, and we trust that in the navigation of the pre sent vessel, the Helen Conran, these gloomy prophets, if any still exist, will be once more disappointed.. As it is a favourable season for the voyage. we hope, in due time, to hear of the safe arrival of this second little vessel. In the meantime we will conclude by wishing the Helen Conran , " God speed." The Helen Conran is an iron vessel, of only eighteen tons, and was built by Archibald Denny, at.
