takes our measure all over, preparatory to knock ing us down and robbing us ? We may be very strong, and justly confident in our great resources, but "hands off" and " keep your distanCe," are practical rules, not to be disregarded without peril, even by the most secure and unsuspicious. Even if no harm is meant, we would rather dispense with so much familiarity. Under various pretences French war-steamers have of late been no strangers in our great seaports. They have conic and gong as they listed, and affected great deference to our flag, and not omitted to salute our forts and so forth. We may be apt to carry our suspicions too far ; but keeping in view the ruses under cover of which that rakish craft, the Imperial ia ch t, has quietly slipped about from plane td 131 ace almost unnoticed, e may be excused for asking how far this process of dkeption is being carried in other quarters. Without any inhospitable feeling or undue sus picion towards our French neighbours, and without any thought of restricting the liberty of foreigners to visit us, it is clearly our duty to see to it, that the liberty and hospitality of which we have always boasted is not abused and taken advantage of to our own injury and loss. SCHOOLS OR NO SCHOOLS ? TILE people of Liverpool are now asked the question will they have a school for 600 children and a school church for 700 people, free of all encumbrance, for. the trifling sum of £loo—that is to say,—taking school and church together,—thirteen hundred sittings at little more than six shillings each, as an out-and-out purchase. These erections were nobly commenced by the Earl of DERBY, on the 18th of August last, and all that is now required to complete them, in addition to What was formerly raised, is the sum we hate named. Shall we raise that amount, or shall we allow the scheme to fail rather than put onr hands into odr liookets td that ex tent? It really comes to that; for What has been done is of no avail without the above balance. Shall it be said that the people of Liverpool would notor could not finish a good work so auspiciously begun ? "We make this last appeal," says the rev. incumbent of St. Mary's, Kirkdale, " most earnestly and in hope. Do not disappoint us. Three hundred subscribers of one pound each, and two hundred. Sub scribers of ten shillings `eaehi" aid 416 'work will be dose. it , -2 Dv ueplore the present alarming prevalence of ine? Do we feel the pressure of taxation greatly increased by the cost of watching, apprehending, trying, and punishing the criminal population ? Would we adopt the easiest, most, certain and most economical means of preventing crime and reducing the expenses of our system of criminal -administration ? Then let us have Ragged Schools planted as thickly as we no* have dens and nurseries of vice, profligacy, and criminality. Then, and not till then, shall we stay the plague that now threatens to overrun society. Ragged Schools have already done more in that direction than any other agency yet attempted. They only require full scope and encouragement to multiply manifold the good fruits they have already yielded. Let everyone who reads these lines ask himself or herself ho-,; much he or she can do for St. Marra ItNiged School and Church. At present we have oly space to add that subscrip tions may be paid to the Ragged School account at the Royal Bank; to Mr, Wright ) , the collector; to the Rev. T.

You have been furnished with ample details of the sanguinary fight nit the tide tif the 'Volturno; bAt t have re son to believe that the loss on - both M Mali ak; iiten considerably underestimated. One Weald have thought that this repulse of the Nea politans would have been followed by an imme diate retirement of their whole force to Gaeta, leaving Capua to the victors ; but such does not appear to have been the case. On the morning of the 4th Garibaldi made a reconnats' ante in person in the direction of Capua, and he ascertained that the line of the Volturno, which I have described elsewhere, is capable of being well and thoroughly defended by a strong force, was still very strongly guarded at all points by the enemy ; and that the royal troops, notwitstanding the severe check they have sustained, are posted in such a manner • as to make any effort to dislodge them a work of great difficulty. 331 e next visited the Bridge of Train(); *h'ere there are some mills situated just bltt of tapnon shot, and at about five kilometres or three miles from Capua, and discovered that several new 'redoubts, protected by a nutnerout artillery, have been recently raised oh this poifit, and that it had become impossible, in bonsequence of these defeneiare exreltrenfents, to turn the north of the enetay's position. A • report has; been subsequently spread, that the bombardment of Capna tannthenced on the sth, and that the volun teers had carried one of the bastions, but this report, probably, requires confirmation. The Courrier of Genoa, of the 16th, states that orders have been given by the Minister-at-War for the immediate embarkation, for Naples, of the. Royal Brigade, and that transports were to be in readiness, on that evening, to receive troops on board. The Naaoat, of the Same city, declares that a commissioner is also to be sent to Sicily immediately, to pat matters to rights there. A letter from Bologna to the Corriere Afercaniile bf Genoa, written during the visit of the Xing to that city, says Well informed persons assert that the King, after having visited Ancona:, Will proceed to Naples to smooth ever all the aillekilties which have arisen with Garibaldi. liowtyer. that may be, it is certain that this journey of Ris Majesty has a political object of the highest im- Wcitance. It is also stated, that this step on the part of the King has been, recommended by a very high (altissimo) personage, as the only . means of neutralising the republicanism established an . Naples, In fact, by. Victor Emmanuel actually making war upon Francis 11, and taking the command in chief of the army, all other persons must necessarily take second rank, and the annexation being realiied in point of fact, will forth with be regulated and legalised by the general vote of the inhabiants. On the same subject the Opinione, of Turin, says:-- This generous act Of the Monarch will accelerate the completion of the work by the unity of command, and will: amseerate still better the great results obtained in Southern Italy by General Garibaldi, and by the bands of volunteers who, would from that time form part of the Italian army. • We are persuaded that this im portant act.will be hailed with joy by the whole world. Vice-Admiral Persano set off for Naples this evening. Undoubtedly, the Sooner the 'King and Gari baldi now meet, the better. It will be the better, not only with reference to the state of matters in Naples and the peculiarly delicate position in which the one stands to the other—the diffi culties of which are not by any means lessened by the additional triumphs which Garibaldi has achieVed•—but because it will be the means of reventing a useless cont est between the Gari baldians and the Royalists from being further prolonged, and consequently of avoiding the necessity for the further shedding of blood. A letter from Naples of the 2nd says:— Although matters are progressing so well with the Garibaldians at Capua, there is not as yet much im provement to note in the state of things in Naples itself. Although Bertani has gone to Turin with an unlimited cove, the secretary-generalship h as n ot been sup pressed ; and it is even said that it was offere d to Crisps, whose conduct in Sicily is the subjeCt of so much merited disapproval. This would be passing from Scylla into Charybdis. Some of the Sardinian riflemen, who have been located in Naples for some time past, set off for Capua this morning, and were in time to take part in the action. Some cavalry from the Abruzzi also arrived. This direct intervention of the Piedmontese, and the approach of the King himself, must give the last blow to the Mazzinists. Naples was illuminated last night by order of the lazzaroni who entered into the houses, and insisted upon the citizens rejoicing. There was a great deal of singing and shouting in the streets. People are beginning to get tired of this noise. There are vague rumours in circulation as to its bein g the intention of the French Government to despatch a third division to Rome, in anticipation of which the title of Commander-in-Chief of Division has been conferred upon General de Goyon. • The family of General Lamoriciere is desirous of instituting an action of defamation against the. ' authors of the despatch, true or supposed, which charges the General with conspiracy and collusion with the red party. There seems much reason to doubt if the celebrated Bologna telegram spoke the truth in this matter. 'The Govern ment has prohibited the proposed presentation of a sword by some of the inhabitants of the west of Prance to the General, and the cause of the pro hibition is said to be some words used by the Prisoner of Ancona to General Fanti after the surrender. The General is reported to have said to his conqueror, "My army has not been van quished—it has been assassinated." The more than cool character of the present relations between the Imperial Government and the Pontifical are strangely contrasted at this Ibuthent by what has just taken place at the exhibition in this city, at the school of fine arts, where the subject chosen for competition by the artists in bas rilievo is that of Pius IX. blessing the Prince Imperial !

It is situated in that part of Italy to which the name of Campania was given, and which is called to this day " Terra de Lahore." It was a very fertile district. Indepen dently of the wealth which it drew from the soil, Capua had a commerce and trade of great importance. Its inhabitants excelled in the preparation and dyeing of leather, and in the manufacture of cloths ; they sur passed the people of Tyre in the art of dyeing in scarlet and in manufactdring purple stuffs. They were the first to prodtiCe tlidse beautiful vase's lii reddish eafth . known Under the hate of ttritrian vases. _* Nina was situated upon the celebrated Appian way ; its streets and squares possessed magnificent monuments. It had, like Rome, a senate 'and consuls, and was go verned by its own laws,: At the time of the second Punic war, and after the celebrated battle of Canute, it declared in favour of Hannibal, who, in order to attach it to him self, promised to make it the capital of Italy. The Romans took a terrible vengeance upon it. After the departure of the Carthaginians, they took possession of Capua, ravaged it, put all its senators to death, and carried off its principal inhabitants into, slavt!':, did not tegaid its WEIS - Lit. splendour, until the time of Julius Caesar, towards the year of Rome 693. At this,. epoch a numerous colony of Romans. was sent thither, who parcelled out the teitilary of ,CaniPania dinono•St fdem, and re-erected a portion Of 'the d*ellings of le inhabitant*. bilis Utar restored to the Capuans their ancient laws and privileges; their town was in a very flourishing state, when Genseric, King of the Vandals, took posses sion of it in 455, and destroyed it a new. Narsis rebuilt it in 552; but Garibald, King of the Lombards, destroyed it utterly in the year of our Lord 671. A new Capua was built in 745, by Astolphus, King of the Lombards, at about three kilometres from Naples, upon the left, batik of the Ydlltiiiid. it has ,tvto Nbeauti atone.bridges over this river, is surroiin.ded 13Y large ditches filled with water, and by a bastioned enclosure, and possesses an arsenal and several casemated forts. It haS always been considered one of the most important places of Italy. Its population is about 10,000 inhabi tants, independently of its garrison: In 950 Capin, fell into the power of the Normans, who founded..there numerous establishments, and strength ened its fortifications. In 1007 the Saracens, having attacked and taken it, sacked it, after keeping posseision of it for some days. They besieged it anew in 1056; but Robert of Normandy came to • the . succour of the place, compelled the Sarabetis to raise the siege, and drove then .nat o, Italy:. La t ter;Corktad;. Sod the Emperor Frederick, took it iod ditimintled iti But, in 1511 toliis XII. cailsed it to be restored to the king do& of ilatiltg, or which it still forms a part. Its fortifications, destroyed in 1251, were reconstructed by Charles V. in 15 31 , renaiffal 11 eramanci i. in; 1772, and _, l n.-ovect during the reign of the latter king. —,,nough these fortifications arrest for the moment the Garibaldian troops, they are much less Unportant than those of Gaeta, a place incontestibly the strongest in . the States on the mainland, • Oaptia is the thief plate if Tetra de Labore, the Most northward the preirinees; ate bordered by the sea fci i r their 4licile Thia ,doni 7 prelierichi, asides dapaa aid Santa Maria, which forms in some sort one of its suburbs; the towns of Caserta, (celebrated' for its magnificent , castle), Pied monte, San Germano, Gaeta, Averio, Arpina, and Madaloni, . It •is 150 kilometres (93 miles) in len.gth, by 65 (45 miles) in breadth, and has a popula tion of about 700,000 inhabitants. It is, like the ancient Campania, very rich aud very fertile. The Terra de Labore is watered by the Volturno, or Vulturno, which takes its source to the east of Isernia, in the Moliseo, This Ayer Imes froM the mountains, 'flows to the southward as far as the eonfluende of the Cetera; then takes a westerly direction, traverses in serpentine .Wind ings the plains of Campania, and falls into the sea at the point called Castel-volturno. After having received the waters of the Cal Ore - and several other streams, - the Volturno acquires a breath of 75 metres (44 miles), and a depth which no longer permits its being crossed with out a bridge. Towards Capua, its course becomes calm. Above that town; near . the Mills of Trellised, which are beyond the, iange of tile guns of the , plebe,. thereis a good spot for the passage cif trodps. The course of the •Volturno is 140 kilometres, or 87 miles. It forms between Capua and Gaeta a line of natural defence somewhat extended, but one from which a solid and numerous army could draw a great advantage. The Neapolitan troops have understood this ; the positions which they have taken, and the dispositions which they have adopted, are excellent. Should the Garibaldian volunteers succeed, either by means of a bombardment or by a coniplete idiestnielit, id 'reducing Capua, the Royal army might Concentrate itself non Gaeta, and still Maintain there a protracted deferlte. DARING ESCAPE AND CLEVER CAPTURE OF A FORGER. On Monday a notorious character, named William Boyce, alias Kelly, alias Haddon , alias Badden, alias Williams, &c., who was confined in the Sheffield Town hall on a charge of uttering forged Bank of England notes, made his escape from his place of confinement, and obtained a few hours' liberty. Some time ago the prisoner uttered two for g ed £5 Bank of Englan d notes at Sheffield --- one to Mr. Edwin White, hatter, Pargate, and the other to Mr. Raby, eating-house keeper, &c., Westbar. It came to the knowledge of the police that forged Bank of England notes had been , uttered at Liverpool, Brighton, Leam ington, Warwick, Dewsbury, and many other places, and from the descriptions given there was no doubt the offences were being committed by the same person. Accordingly, a strenuous effort was made to capture the delinquent. About a fortnight ago detective-officer Airey, of the Sheffield police force, went to Manchester, and in a street branching out of Lever-street he found the prisoner, and in the same house a hat which he obtained from Mr. White when he passed the forged £5 note to him. Airey brought Boyce to Sheffield, where he was distinctly identified by Mr. White and Mr. Raby, and the charge of uttering two forged Bank of England notes was clearly made out against him. While being confined in the cells of the Town-hall, the prisoner appears to have devised a scheme by which to make his escape from custody. He first imposed upon the officers at the Town-hall by pretending to be ill. By this move he obtained permission to leave the cell, and walk about in the Women's yard. The prisoner has had about a fortnight's experience in the 'Town-hall, and he appears to have been an apt scholar, and profited by his experience. He noticed that at twelve o'clock every day the prisoners were removed upstairs into the petty sessions room, for examination before the magistrates, and that the police were at that time pretty well occupied; and he seems to have determined to take advantage of the opportunity and make his exit. By some means he succeeded in forcing back the lock on the door of the women's ward, which must hare been a very difficult task, and required great ingenuity, and thus gaining admission to the watch-house. In the top of the door in this place, leading to the street, there are two small panels, secured by iron bars, which are' placed close together. The bars in one of these panels he has wrenched out, and then succeeded in squeezing himself through the aperture, w hich is apparently only large enough to admit the body of a boy. However, he made his escape, and when his absence was discovered, measures were taken for his re-apprehension. Airey, who was about to start for Dewsbury for further evidence against him, put - off the journey, and again started in pursuit of the runaway. Officers were sent in every direction—some on horse back, others in gigs,—and about six o'clock a telegram was received from Sergeants Whytell and Walker that they had succeeded in capturing him at Chesterfield. The prisoner is a daring,impudent-looking youne.fellow, and he will no doubt be securely taken care of or the future. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. LATEST NEWS. (BY BRITI3II AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.)

The Chronicle concludes that this is the last• offensive effort of King Francis. The Times is also of opinion that this battle has probably decided the campaign. It will leave the discouraged Neapolitan forces an easy conquest to•the advancing Piedmontese. The Daily News estimates that the Bourbon army is reduced by the battle from 21,000 to 14,000 men., The number made prisoners is 5,000, and 2,000 were killed and wounded.

Rice, the transatlantic delineator of negro character, and well known in this conntry as the original " Jim Crow," as having taken pl ace at New York on the 19th September. When Mr. Rice returned from Europe he was eagerly engaged by theatrical managers throughout America for the portrayal of nigger peculiarities, and he played as a star in most of the theatres. Prudence in pecuniary matters, however, was not the gift of the departed comedian, and his generous impulses led him to get rid of money as fast as he received it he retained h is popu larity to the last, but i s b e li eve d' to have been in indi gent circumstances at the time of his death. THE COMMERCE IN RAGS AT • LEonows.—The Annales du Commerce Exterieur gives an account of the presen.t state of the rag trade at Leghorn.

Rags .are imported into Leghorn from all the ports, of the Mediterranean, the places furnishing most being Greece, Egypt, Tunis and Algeria. These rags, o n reaching Leghorn, ar e divided into five different categories, and then re-exported. The quantity shipped off amounts on an average to from 14.000,000 to 16,000,000 of kilogrammes a-year—the United States taking about 12.000,000 ; England, 2,000,000 ; and Spain, 100,000 kilogrammes. The prices vary from 21f. 56c., according to category. France does not , import any, in consequence of the high prices.

(Before Mr. 3. R. Thum) AN ATinSi WHO WOULD NO r T esi Fg. g rt i n n u. s — ti ll g i n r a . Rogers Yeoinatis, an altiSt, Il Th -street, s sought to recover A 4 i6s. tindet the' following citcum ; stances from Mr. James M'Coubtey f of the Masonic Arms, Mersey-street. Mr.. Gray appeared far the defen dant: It appeared that the defendant beeatie a Meiner of a " portrait club" established for the benefit,of the poor by the plaintiff: ThO amount of the subscriptions Was 2s. 6d. per wee '. I 1 phi() four half-crowns, and ordered a portrait of the wife of his yoitth at the price of £2 12s. 6d. The portrait was in dole fink' accom plished, and inspected by the fair original and a female friend, who pronounced the likeness, as far as the face was concerned, all that they desired. However, a few altefaticms and additions might enhance its value. A gold brooil for the breast would add to its beauty ; and if the gold chafn vete a little more "goldy," why, then, it would - be all the better: Then, again, the artist had forgotten that Mrs. MO. , had a beautiful pair of arms and hands. Would Mr. Yeomans just paint two pretty hands, and a pair of arms, the prettier the better? Of course—Mr. Yeomans is a very obliging artist. So a few touches of the crayon pencil made the "gold more goldy," and produced the "brooch for the breast," a tiny pair of hands, and a pretty pair of arms. In a few days Mrs. M:C. and female; and sea-going friends, paid a second visit to the artist, Who' putt into the fair original's original hands a bill et pareiWars. Of course, eztra . trouble involved extra ottienie,; and the bill, instead of being £2 12s. 6d., amounted to Lb bk. Thtt.reqbn' "a change passed o'er the face of things,' l ithd anibbXst tlibse things the portrait. All the beautifail tench& had vanished, in the opinion of the original. The tacky pf repre senting a lovely young face, appeared to be ai took fifty years of age, and there was nothing correct abou'i either the brooch, the hands, or the arms. The defendant stated that he was willing to pay £lO 10s. for his wife's portrait, but then it must be a very goad likeness, and not a caricature. Mr. Yeomans said that he was always true to nature, and evoked another sentence to the effect that he never flattered. 4n ObVsidetation of eertain things, however, he lowered fp' eS. Ten shillings having been paid into can't, the bblanVed =Whited to £4 15g, Mr. Gray thought it might fie' degYatle to adjourn the case, in order to have the portrait eithibtted court for the benefit of his Honour and those A4ho'clO . n'ot love' to• see beauty libelled. The case was according,ly adjouvned until Friday, at two o'clock. gtgALING IRON BOLTS.—Yesterday two lads, named Patrick Callaghan and Richard Jones, both well-known thieVes in Liverpool, were taken before Mr. Younghus &fide at file fiqtlienliead Police-court, charged with sleeting . a' quantity of bolts from the Birkenhead Theatr& They Were detected in the act of selling the pluitdef to' a mai i iVe-efote.dealet" named Prior ; and the evidence of their glint being ebeelneive, they were com mitted for trial at the sessionVs YOUNG IN YEARS, OLD 0 Ciiiiiil-eshn ahte-bodied man, of about twenty-one or twenty . ..two' years of age, was brought before the County Magisttaies; Court, yesterday, on a charge of sleeping in an out-building in Knotty Ash.

We believe that a reply was received frost/ gevieiiiitinti extressing' their thanks, with their appreset/ of the gdeialfeatures of tire plan; bat stating, at the same third, thd theie Were many details which it would be necessary to' eblisider - and adjust, and when these were settled, a more definite` reply would he given. Up to the present time, however, no fuither c'ominuni cation has been received. THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS AND Tits! ,fir THE Costurrrme.-The usual monthly meeting of the CO2II-: mittee of the Licensed Victuallers' Association was held Vester4sty, in the board-room of the Institution, West Derby-road. Mr. 11. Lumb was called to the chair. The' other''neenthers present were MeSsrs. M. War ei, W. Coviard, T. Calderbank, C. B atten, H. drnyy, I. Thornton', 3. Tartalck, D. Oriliy, W. C rane, an'd j• Atkirrson.--sThe minutes of the last meeting were read' and . oiliffini'ecli aftet which, at the request of Mr. Atkinson, the secretary toad a correspondence which had taken place between Itirtereif and Mr. M , Gpwan, the clerk to the Watch Committee, relative to an order which that committee had issued to the puha, for their guidance in' cases of infringemeet of 'the 41st‘clanse of the t'ac't of Parliament, for the Management of Refresh ment-roe-as' altd Wine Licenses, which had recently come into opetirdait Troy that it appeared, that on the 10th of July last, the ebmmittee had applied for a copy of the order issued to are police, at that time stating that the trade' was anxious to net in harmony with the police in the matter, and, if it was itirisithed to the association, they would see that the trade tiod a copy of it as a cis filar. After much writing, and Revoral interviews with Mr. M‘Gowan, the chief con stable; and other parties, and up to the 21st of last IS:mitts nothing further was heard of the application, when a letter, signed by Mr. M`Gowan, stating that the Watch Comtnittee did not feel themselves at liberty or justified in giving the information to the association. —Mr. Atkinson observed that the licensed victuallers, who were more under the control of the police than any other class of the community, were always anxious to act in unison and harmony with the authorities,' and hence the " application had been made to the Watch Corn mitte:e",, Who had, however, without giving an"; r,ea so , n, refused to let them have it, and thus acted in w7lat . u . ? and all must feel to be a narrow-minded spirit, a.nu in the most illiberal notatseer in not complying with a reasonable request, when it Weer done with a view of assisting i n c arrying out the law. These sentiments were acquiesced in by the committee, vehieli separated' after transacting the usual routine business. A LITTLE " MILL " AT TRANMERE, AND 11's RESELTS.—Mere is a large green in front of Tranmere Hotel, which has a rather disagreeable notoriety, from the frequency with which the inhabitants of that locality of the town exercise themselves, in what they term "the manly art of self-defence"—namely, knocking, bruising, biting, and kicking each other until they Can neither see, stand, or walk. On Monday a small exhibition of this description was got up, and two fellows entered upon the green "to fight it out ;" and after bruising each other for a short time, to the gratification of about two hundred spectators, Mr. Superintendent Haminond, of the Cheshire Constabu lary, who was riding past at the time, rushed in and put a stop to the sport. This he did in the most manful and determined manner. Without the slightest assistance, he left his trap, and upon getting near the Combatants he seized one, a fellow of the name of Moore, by the neck, and dragged him through the crowd and safely deposited him in the bridewell. ' Yes terday he was taken before the magistrates at Birken head, and fined £5 for assaulting the superintendent, and in default of payment was committed to prison for one month. CHURCH OF ENGLAND SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE. --The annual meeting of this association was held last night, in Hope-hall. The Rev. Mr. Power presided ; and the Revds. Mr. Leslie, Hand, Oates, and Bardsley, were among those on the platform. The chairman, in opening the proceedings, briefly commented upon the objects of the Institute, which were to promote a proper degree of efficiency and fitness for their work amonte the Sunday school teachers, and thus increase the efficiency of the schools themselves. Mr. Richard, Oates, secretary, then read the annual report, from which it appeared that a number of meetings had been held during the year, and various useful addresses delivered to the members. It was to be regretted that these meetings had not been more largely attended; but this would probably be remedied by ehanging.the locality, which was the plan to be pur sued this winter. The first of these lectures is to be delivered on the 25th instant, by the Rev. Dr. Taylor, in St. Mary's School, Edge-hill. The subject will be " Prayer, Preparation, Perseverance."--The Rev. Dr: Hume had been announced to deliver an address on "The Liturgy as a guide in Sunday School Instruc tion," but in his absence the Rev. R. W. Hunt delivered an address on the "Personal Piety of the Sunday School Teacher." He noticed more partich larly the s rear importance of personal piety on the part of those who endeavoured to impress young minds with 'a sense of the necessity of piety in themselves. He referred to the powerful influence of example upon the youthful mind ; if the pupils saw that the teacher's heart was not in his work, they would be all the less disposed to be convinced of the importance of which, he Mr. F. Norton next spoke on th e teacher ' s aim, he said; should be a worthy one, fixed and unswerving. In order to obtain this fixedness of purpose continued and fervent prayer was indispensable; the teacher should himself have felt the truth of the glorious principles he endeavours to impress upon his pupils. Ile also referred to the object of the society, which hesaid was the improve ment of Sunday schools. The more the national schools improved the more need was there for a corresponding im provement in the Sunday schools. The Rev. J. Bardsley, addressed the meeting on the necessity of making Sunday school instruction ca.techetical. The Rev. John Pockling ton also delivered an address, in the course of which he pointed out the great influence which the teacher pos sessed out of school. The proceedings closed with prayer. PRIZE SHOOTING ON A LARGE SCALE AT HASTINGS. The beautiful little valley near Hastings, known as Ecclesbourne Glen, was, on Monday, the scene of a rifle match, or rather a series of rifle matches, on a larger scale. The contest was chiefly among the members of the Cinque Ports corps, but others joined in the compe tition for some of the prizes. The first prize was a Lancaster rifle, value 10 guineas, which was won by Mr. Webb, who scored 15 points in ten shots at 200 and 300 yards. Lieutenant Crake and Messrs. Penhall and Hildred gained 14 points each; and in shooting off the tie for the second prize (a silver medal) and the third prize (a bronze medal) Mr. Hildred won the second and Mr. Benhall the third prize. A contest then took place betwen twelve members of the Ist Company of Cinque Ports Rifles (Hastings) and twelve members of the 3rd 'Company (Rye), ranges 200 and 300 yards, 10 shots at each distance, when the Hastings Company proved vic torious, making 119 points to the Rye Company's 115. A prize cup was also shot for, value 17 guineas, and a second prize of five guineas, which, after a close contest of four shots, at 300 and one at 400 yards, resulted in Mr. Webb winning the cup and Mr. C. Brittenden the guineas. The Countess of Waldegrave presented the prizes. There was an immense assemblage of persons to witness the sheeting. THE ORDER OF DRUIDS. , The sttrrnal anniv'ersary dinner of the Royal Arch Lodge' (2118) of tile Onler of Druids, took plebe on Monday eVenin'g, the'B'th instant, at the Castle Inn, ; Scotland-road. Ab'otit s'eVenty of the niambers, with their wives, and (41'6 ind•Mdlials of theilf families Attended.

The dining-room. was tastefully deemated with b anners , & c. , w hi c h bore suitable inscripeibtk.7-The chair was occupied, by Mr. L. Lloyd, and tte vice-chair by M r . W m .. Croft, and among the gentlemen present were Mr. Swarbrick, district master ; Messrs. 34'11, Holland, Bristow, Coventry, Kirson , Brindle, abirr Davis, Price, M'Ewen, &c., &c.—After the removal of the cloth, the. Chairman rose and said it afforded him 110' ' small gratification to see the members of the Lodge enjoying themselves so much on the occasion. It was by reunions such as this that the stability of the society would be secured, while they would also tend to unite in the bonds of friendship every member• of the order. (Cheers.) Union was strength ; and a more united community than that of Lodge 218 of the Grand Order AT Druids, it would be difficult to find. (Applause.)— The Chairman next proposed the health of the host and hostess, which met with applause, and was responded to in a " neat little speech"' by Mrs. Linaker.—The Chairman then called upon the Secretary to read the annual report.—Mr. Swarbrick, the secretary, said it gave him great.pleasure to' be able to lay before the members of the lodge a Very satisfactory report. (Cheers.) It was always a matter of great gratifica tion to him, when it was in his power to be able to report progress ; and, on the present occasion, the members of the lodge would see that a great improve nieut was taking place in the condition of their Circler: The income of this lodge for the present year amounted ea £lB3 18s. 10d., and the expenditure was £157 14s. 7d., leeurg,a balance in favour of the lodge for the year of £26 4s. ad. The money in bank amounted to £lO2 19s. 2d., and in the treasurer's hands there remained £24 11s. Bd., making the total worth of the sick fund £127 10a. 10d. (Cheers.) Thev had also a distinct fund from the sick fund, the object of which was to make provision in cases of death, and the sem in bank which came under this head amounted to £309 12s. ld.—(cheers)—while the sum in the trea surer's bands was £73 2s. 4d., making the total worth of the lodge £5lO ss. 3d. (Applause.) Mr. Swar lbriek stated that during the year they had initiated fvienty members. Since the amalgamation of all the lodges of the Druids, the society had made great progfeti. At the first annual meeting after the amal gamation, flo' Member of Parliament far Hull, the Mayor of Ifuli f anki five of the Town Council of Hull, were enrolled members of the order, and since that time there had been opened sere* new lodges, all of which were in a prosperous condition. Mr. Swarbrick remarked that it was a very pleasing feature to , see the higher classes take an interest in those societies with which the working men were connected, as it tended in a great measure to ensure their permanency. In coutiusion Swarbrick regretted the absence of Thomas Lamb, Esq., a gentleman who had taken a great interest in the society for the past twenty years, and who was unavoi dably absent in consequence of the illness of a member of his fantily..- -, -The Chairman moved the adoption of the report, wliitlt was carried unanimously. This having :closed the business part of the proceedings, dancing then commenced, and was kept up till an advanced hour; and during the night many excellent songs were sung. At the conclusion of the festivities the company separated, highly delighted with the night's enjoyment. We are happy to find this society in se prosperous a state. Its condition reflects the highest credit on all connected with it, and the members were unanimons in their commendation of the indefatigable secretary, Mr. Swarbrick, who is unremitting in his exertions for the benefit of the association. INFIR;ISIARY FOR CHILDREN. The quarterly meeting* of the committee of this valu able charity was held yesterday ( at 58, Hope-street, when, in accordance with a motion proposed by one of the members, at the previous meeting-10th duly last — a physician was appointed, thereby placinc , it &II an equal footing with other institutions of the town.b The demands upon it are growing, 1,338 out-patients having been treated this year, as compared with 1,160 patients same period last year ; and it is to be regretted that, s i m ultaneously with this increase, an augmentation of the funds from annual subscriptions, to any consider able eitent, cannot be reported. When it is remembered that according to the Regis trar-General's last tetntir ; the mortality among chil dren under ten years of age was 7,969. The total num ber of deaths in Liverpool and West Derby being 13,738, it must occur to every thinking mind that the propor tion of infant and juvenile mortality is too great. Surely in a large community like ours, the inclination is not wanting to come to the rescue of the "little ones," who require special care during sickness ; and when it is known that the annual income from subscriptions is below MOO, no doubt willing hands will be prompted by generous hearts, to -deal a portion of their bounty to so' deserving a public charity. ought to . be mentioned that F. A. Hamilton, Esq., in addition to his annual subscription, has kindly given a donation of five pounds; and no doubt many others will imitate so liberal au example. A DRUNKEN FROLlC.—Yesterday, at the County Magistrates' Court, Patrick Brown was charged with having stolen a sack from two boys cm the Old Swan road. The prisoner was drunk at the timehe committed the offence, and the magistrates, thinking that it was a drunken frolic, dismissed him with a caution. FEMALE OFFENDERS. —At the County Magistrates' Court, yesterday, Ann Wilson, alias Regan, and Frances X eg ati were brought up on remand, charged with stealing a fender from the beer-house of James Pye, Old Swan, and a silver coffee-pot from the Old Swan Vaults, and were sent to the sessions for trial. NOMINATIONS IN TUE CHURCH or ROME.—The Pope has appointed Cardinal Patrizi to the dignity of Grand Prior of the Military Order of Jerusalem, Cardinal Aze vedo to the post of Grand Penitentiary, and Cardinal Mevtel to that of Prefect of the Congregation of the Propaganda. Posr-omeE ROBBERY.—On Monday a letter-carrier, named Charles Richard Lines, belonging to the Man chester Post-office, was committed to the assizes for trial on a charge of stealing money from the letters which he was engaged to deliver. On searching his home an immense quantity of valuable articles was found, all of which, the prisoner said belonged to the Post-office. There were no less than eighteen pencil cases found in his drawer, nearly as many rings, scent bottles, and guard chains in considerable numbers, and bank notes varying from £5 to £2O in value.

IMPERIAL JEWELS.- luring the recent Imperial journey, some of the finest diamonds of the Crown were more than once worn ; the value of the whole collection being 20,908,260 f. The first inventory was made in 1810 by order of •Napoleon 1., and another was taken under Louis XVIII. on his return from Ghent, to which place his Majesty had caused them to be conveyed. On the latter occasion all the precious stones, being removed from the settings, were found to be 16,312 in number, to weigh 18,752 carats, and to be of the value mentioned above. An inventory recently made shows the number, weight, and value to be unchanged. AUDACIOUS ROBBERY AT A VIGNON.—On Sunday last, several bags of gold coin, containing together the sum of one million of francs, arrived at the Avignon station, addressed to the branch establishment of the Bank of France in that town. The person whose duty it was to superintend the removal of the specie from the carriage, happened to enter one of the offices for a moment, and on his return he found that a sack con taining 200,000 f. in 20f. pieces had disappeared. Owing to the weight of the coin (64 kilos.), it is thought that more than one person must have been concerned in removing it. The police are making active search after the perpetrators of this audacious robbery. Tim CITADEL OF MESSINA.—It was recently an nounced that the citadel of Messina had reopened its fire on the town. The following- is the explanation of that fact :—According to arrangements come to with Garibaldi, it was declared that this citadel should remain in the hands of the Neapolitans, until the fate of Sicily had been definitively settled. The Garibaldians, having wished to oblige the Royalist troops to deliver the citadel up to them, prevented the garrison from receiving the necessary supply of provisions. On that, General Fergola, who is a decided officer, commenced a warm fire on the town, but which soon ceased, as the inhabi tants compelled the Garibaldians to supply provisions. The general, moreover, declared that he would never surrender without an order from the king.—Galignani. SHOCKING MURDER IN NEW YORK.—On the 25th ult. an altercation took place between two men, named Daniel O'Rourke and John McKeogh, at 310, Water street, 'New York, which finally resulted in the latter drawing • a sheath-knife and killing his adv€rsary. O'Rourke and McKeogh had long been at enmity, it appears that at the time of the difficulty they were both intoxicated and very quarrelsome. - The knife entered O'Rourke's neck, severing the jugular vein and causing instant death. McKeogh tried to make his escape, but the timely arrival of policemen Coakley . and Conekl.i!Te• prevented him from carrying out his. intention.

THE BiNKENIIEAD AND CHESHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY VERSUS THE BIRKENHEAIY COMMISSIONERS. Another amazing, but which is likely to turn out a rather expensive fracas, took place at an early' hour yesterday morning at the Birkenhead arid Cheshire Railway Station, Monks Ferry, Birkenhead. For some time past, as we understand from very reliable authority, a dispute has been pending between the Railway Company and the Commissioners. The former assert their right to have the passengers by the mail train from Holyhead conveyed to Liverpool by a steamboat from the Monks' Ferry slip. The latter deny that such a right exists, and refuse to permit the passengers to enter upon the ferry slip. Thus matters stood on Monday night, when it was contempla'ted to put an end to the dispute—not by the regular legal pro cess, nor by a civil conference, but by physical force. The Birkenhead Commissioners sent a notice to the Railway Company that they intended to prevent, for the future, passengers by the mail train going by that route; and from the wording of the epistle the railway autho rities imagined that it was their intention to resist the right by force of arms, and, to be prepared for such an emergency, the steamer Lion was brought into requi sition, and was moored off the slip ready to receive the passengers upon their arrival, while a reserve guard, consisting of every description of railway officials, was in attendance at the station armed with full authority to enforce the company's right of transit by the slip. Instead, however, of backing up their notice with 1 a regular force always at their command ; and doubt -1 less having a vivid recollection of the last melee with the same company, the commissioners were on this occasion content with placing a chain round the gates leading from the station, to the slip, securely locking the same, and placing a few police constables to keep watch and ward and see that no person bad ingress or egress upon their property. About two o'clock in the morning the train arrived at the station. The mail bags were sent off as usual by a cart to the Woodside ferry, but the passengers had to remain at the station. Mic Andrews, the station-master, insisted upon their going from the 4 Monks' Ferry slip by the Lion, which, with steam up, was awaiting their arrival. Police constable Castle kept to his post, and, armed with the majesty of the law—as well as the commissioners' authority—refused to let them pass. Their entreaties were in vain—persuasion had no effect whatever— not the slightest impression could be made upon— indeed, perfectly impenetrable was Police-constable Castle. Finding that matters were getting rather soions, the station master at once gave the word of command, " Cut the chain on the small gate." Never did an army perform a movement with greater alacrity than did the Monks Ferry Railway Brigade the one given. The necessary tools appeared as if by magic— the gate was at once thrown open, and the passengers were triumphantly conducted to the steamer. The Commissioners' agent (the policeman) was vexed—he rushed to the steamer and attempted to let her loose, but even in that he was frustrated; and then he pro claimed that he had been insulted and assaulted, and that the Railway Company should hear further from him on the subject. The passengers were safely con veyed to Liverpool by the regular route, having, how ever, been subjected to the annoyance of heir).g detained for some time while the officials of the two boards were discussing about a legal point, and which can only be settled in a court of law. Which parties—the Railway Company or the Birkenhead Commissioners—have broken the agreement, will have to be decided, no doubt, at a great cost to the shareholders of the com pany, and also to the ratepayers of Birkenhead.

Anna D—, and her apartment is very splendidly furnished. She was conveyed to the Prefecture of Police, and if she should not recover her reason, is to be sent to an asylum. EXECUTION OF A MURDERER IN FRANCE. — Another execution has just taken place in France. One gillot was some time back condemned to death by the Court of Assizes of the Yonne, for the murder of an aged widow, named Clerel, of Lixy ; but he entertained a confident hope that his life would be spared. After his condemn nation he was lodged in the prison of Auxerre, and - three nights back he was told that he was about to be taken away. " Where to ?" asked he, and be was answered "to Paris," but he was conveyed to the railway, and sent to Sens, where the execution had been ordered to take place. A rumour that he was about to arrive having been spread in that city, a crowd assembled at the station to see him. He was alarmed at this collec tion of people, and still more so at finding that, instead of going to Paris he was made to stop at Sens, with which city he was well acquainted; but he was tranqui lised by some vague explanation given him by one of the turnkeys. He was lodged in the gaol, and early next morning was awakened, and told that he was about to be put to death. He seemed for a moment thunder struck, and then raised loud cries, and vehemently protested that he was innocent. He afterwards fell into a sort of stupor, and so remained until he was pinioned and placed in a cart. He then revived a little, and bent down his head as if to avoid being seen by the spectators. On reaching the scaffold he made a slight effort to break from the executioners, but soon became insensible, and in that state was p laced beneath the knife. A. vast crowd had assembled to witness the execution, and many of the people passed the whole night in the streets. A FEMALE SWINDLER.—A female, named Teissiere, was tried by the Tribunal of Correctional Police, Paris, for a singular piece of swindling. She some time ago took up her residence in a public-house at Grenelle, kept by one Billaudelle, and, representing herself to be very wealthy, proposed to the man .to become her agent. To this he readily assented, and she took him before a notary and executed in due form a deed by which she authorised him to. receive the rent of her estates, the dividends bn her stock and shares, to make leases, and sell timber from her forests, &c., but where the estates and forests were, and in what the stock and shares consisted, she did not specify ; she also said that she had a sum of 240,000 f. in the hands of M. Gossart, a notary of the Rue St. Honore. Though so very wealthy, she had not the means of paying for the deed she executed, and one of Billaudelle's friends, who acted as witness to the signing of it, paid the notary's charge; she was besides, obliged to solicit Billaudelle to give her credit at his house. When her bill amounted to 150 f. he asked, to be paid, but she put him off on different pre texts ; when it rose to 240 f. he again pressed for his money, but she had none to give. He' then inquired of M. Gossart about the 240,000 f., - hut learned that the woman had n o such sum in his h a nds, and that he knew nothing of her, except that she Ihad told him a wild story about being entitled to the sum in question, which turned out to be false, and ) that he was convinced that she was either mad or a swindler. The tribunal condemned the woman to a year's imprison ment and 50f. fine. ; ..3 LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.)• 'RS. - FItsiLAT s S VVATCHt. Jane Finlay, a perztittt' abon't thirty-five years of age,. and who was apparently respcittable-, and dressed in a lady-like, manner, with watch and chain' and other things of that sort, was charged by police officer 686 with. being drunk, and with. hay?* assaulted him ; and Elizabeth' goy, an.equally respect— able looking person, was charged by the same officer withi having attempted% rescue the other prisoner, and'alsos assaulting him. The vronaeri were out on bail, and were said to be the wives of respectale persons in business. The officer, said he was in Frederick-strett the previous evening, when Mrs. Finlay rushed out of a pabgelbouse, and, without rhyme , or reason, gave him two thumps in Ate - mouth. He took her into custody, and on the way to the statinn. the other prisoner came behind him, pulled off his hat, struck him on the back of the head, and pulled a fistful of his blac'' hair out of his cranium. Mr. Raffles : This is very extraordina ,—, conduct. What have you to say to the charge? Mrs. Men.? :: l am not in the habit of taking a glass, but yesterday evening I went into a public-house to have a drop along with rny friend. There was a man there at the counter, and he seeing• my watch-chain said I had no right to have one, and he mode at pull at it, saying he must have it. I struggled away from, him and ran into the street, when the officer took me ; but I am sorry for what I done. Mrs. Roy said : I only assisted to protect my friend's watch from the man who tried to get it. Mr. Raffles : I suppose both were drunk ? Officer They were, sir. Are you much hurt'? Oh, no, sir. Mr. Raffles : I fine them 5s and costs each. Mrs. Finlay produced a bag of sovereigns, handed one to Mr. Coe, the bridewell-keeper, saying, take for two out of that. The amount (17s) was deducted, and then the ladies retired, apparently quite satisfied with the result. RECEIVING STOLEN LARD. John Reed, a grocer carrying on business in Limokiln-lime, was brought up by detective officers Patrick and Laycock, on a charge of having received a quantity of lard that had been stolen from Messrs. Irving, lard refiners, Duke-street. Mr. Cobb appeared for the prisoner. It may be remembered that on Saturday (see our police reports of Monday) a man named Unsworth, who was in Messrs. Irving's employment, was sent for trial on a charge of having stolen a quantity of lard, and a man named Duffy was also committed for receiving it; and subsequently to that, the officers heard that Duffy was in the habit of selling lard to the prisoner. They went to his place, and asked him had he any lard from Duffy, and he pointed out two bladders, stating that was all he had. They had received information that on Saturday the prisoner had removed a quantity of lard to the cellar under the stillage of a public house next door to him, and the officers told the prisoner that fact, and he admitted having done so. On searching the place, they got over two hundred weight of lard in bladders there, and it :was recognised as the same sort. that had been stolen from Messrs. Irving's. These facts were proved by officers Patrick and Laycock. Patrick, in reply to Mr. Cobb, said the prisoner told him that Duffy had left the lard there, and that he had not room for it, and then he put it. into Mr. Hewit's (the public house) cellar next door, as the back door of the prisoner's place leads into the back door of the public house. John Whitehead, the manager of the public house alleged to belong to Mr. Hewit, was examined, and in reply to Mr. Kehoe he said, I manage the public house in Limekiln-lane for Mr. Makin. Mr. Raffles : Why, it was stated that Mr. Hewit is the owner of the public house. Officer Patrick : So he is, sir. Whitehead said Mr. Makin was the owner. Mr. Raffles : How is this? There is some jumble in this. The witness said Mr. Makin was the licensed person for the house, but Mr. Hewit was the owner of the property. Mr. Raffles : Who is Mr. Makin then? Witness : He is the step son of Mr. Heirst. Does he live on the premises? He does not sleep there, bat in a house some four hundred yards off, and is a tripe merchant. Mr. Raffles : I think this house ought to be brought before the licensing magistrates, as there is something wrong about it. The witness went on to say that the back door of the prisoner's house and that of the public house were together, and on Saturday the prisoner told him he had bought a quan tity of lard, and had not room for it in the shop or yard, and that he wanted to put it into our cellar in a cool place. I wale under the impressioh that he had liberty to do so from Mr. Makin. Mr. Raffles : I want to know who this Mr. Makin is ? Witness : He is the son-in-law of Mr. Ileirst. the owner of the property. Mr. Kehoc : We will put him in the box. Mr. Raffles : [Let us go on with the facts of this case, as it is quite clear he is not a fit person to have a license. Let the case be enquired into and reported to the licensing magistrates. I suppose Mr. Hewit has a public house some place else t Patrick : He has, the " Traveller's Rest," in Scotland-road.' Mr. Raffles : Very well, go on with the facts of this case. The Witness in reply to Mr. Kehoe, said he never knew the prisoner to put anything into the cellar before ; no one could see the prisoner removing the lard from his place to the cellar, but witness saw him. Mr. Cobb : Do you swear he said he bought the lard, or thathe got it ! lam not sure which he said. Mr. Makin was examined, after which Mr. Trying. one of the firm of that house was examined, and said the lard was the same as they had and was worth 755. a hundred weight. Patrick said the man Unswerth, who was in the employment, said the lard to Duffy at 2d. per pound, and Duffy sold it to the present prisoner for 34d. Mr. Cobb asked his worship if he thought there was sufficient evidence to send the prisoner for trial on a charge of receiving stolen property? Mr. Raffles : I will let a jury decide that, for I will send him for trial. Mr. Cobb : He is a respectable man and will you take bail ? Mr. Raffles • I will consider that. The prisoner was sent for trial. OBTAINING MONEY BY FALSE PRETENCES. Detective-officer Eaton brought up a young man named Thomas Fletcher, lately a clerk in the employment of Mr. Whard Craig, engineer, Birkenhead, on a charge of having obtained £7O on false representations from Messrs. Smith and Baker, saw-mill proprietors. Canada Dock. It appeared from a statement made by Mr. Kehoe, that the prisoner, from his position of clerk to the prosector, knew who was indebted to him, and on Monday he went to the office of Messrs. Smith and Baker, Regent-road, and stated that he was sent for £lOO. He got a cheque for £7O, which he got cashed at Moss's bank, and was about to abscond when he was arrested by detective officer Eaton. Eaton said—at half-past five on Monday evening he arrested the prisoner at Lime-street station on the charge, and on searching him he got £7B in gold, and lOs ad in silver on him. Mr. Copeman appeared for the prisoner, and cross-examined the officer, but nothing was elicited. Mr. Robert Craig said the prisoner was a clerk with him, and his duty was to keep the men's time. He had no authority to go for the account to Messrs. Smith's. Witness called at Messrs. Smith on Saturday for money, but Mr. Smith was out, and witness went to his office to pay the men, and said to the prisoner, " go and get me change, to pay the men, as I have not got money from Mr. Smith, who is out, but I will go on Monday and get it." The prisoner did not come to his business on Monday, and he suspected something, and went to Mr. Smith's, and found the prisoner had got £7O, but he did not give him any authority whatever to get it. We then gave information to the police, and was with the officer when he arrested the prisoner. In reply to Mr. Copeman, the witness said the prisoner had collected money without special authority. His salary was 245. a-week ; he has a wife who keeps a beerhouse in Prince Edwin-lane. He has five children. Mr. Smith said : The prisoner came to my office on Monday morning, and said Mr. Craw was very angry he did not get his money on Saturday, aad that he had a heavy bill to pay, and said he was sent for £lOO. I gave him this cheque for £7O on account, and took his receipt for it. , A gentleman from Mr. Moss's bank, proved having paid the cheque. The prisoner was sent for trial, and on the application of Mr. Cope man, his worship said he would take two sureties in £OO each for his appearance. CHARGE OF UTTERING A FORGED BILL OF EXCHANGE. John Constantine, who was twice remanded on a charge of having uttered an alleged forged bill of exchange, surrendered to his bail. The details of this case were published twice recently. Mr. Cobb appeared for the accused. Mr. Kehoe said he must ask for a remand, as he was not yet prepared with the necessary evidence to complete the case. The appli cation was not resisted by Mr. Cobb, and the accused was again remanded, but allowed out on the same bail. He com plained that the case should be thus dealt with, as he was innocent of the charge. STEALING FROM A SHOP. A female, who gave the name of Catherine Watts, was charged with having stolen thirty-six yards of ribbon from the shop of Mr. Davis, Great Homer-street. The prisoner was a respectable looking and well-dressed person, and said to be a milliner in Mill-street, and was defended by Mr. Bluck. Officer 869 said when the prisoner was given in charge, she said she lived in Manchester, and that it was the drink that did it. The pros-tutor said the prisoner entered the shop under pretence of making a purchase, and whilst there she stole the ribbon, which was taken from her. Mr. Bluck addressed the court, and asked for a remand until her charac ter was inquired into. She was remanded. TEM.
