After the evidence against Bridge was heard he was . convicted and sentenced to 'seven days' imprisonment. Devin was acquitted. Finn LIVERPOOL. —Early yesterday morning a ere was discovered in the premises of Thomas Woodruff, tint owner, Lower Warwick-street. The building in Which the fire originated is used _for storing the carts, and the fire appears to have begun in some loose wood and straw which was lying in the yard. The flames 'soon communicated to the various articles in the place, and they being chiefly of wood the conflagration was at 'one time rather serious in appearance. The prompt arrival of the fire brigades prevented the flames from spreading to the adjoining buildings, but the place in Which the carts were stored was completely gutted. We believe the property was not insured. TRADESMEN'S BENEFIT BUILDING SOCIETY.—The ,Ott annual meeting, of this society was held on Monday tight, at the office of the secretary, Mr. Prest, Market- Cues, Birkenhead. -The report was read, from which appeared that the eeoiety consisted of 293 shares, of Which 271 have been advanced on security.

The deceased was crossing the line on Monday about 3 o'clock, when he was knocked down 1 1 a tram, ran over and killed. The jury returned a Verdict of accidentally killed, with the following present- Ment :—" That they blame the company for allowing the carriages to go before the engine. If that cannot 'be done without, they should have a man on the first Vatriage to give alarm if any one is in the way."—On the body of Thomas Gill, a child eight days old. The 'body was taken to St. James's to be buried ; a certificate from a midwife was produced that the child was still born, but as there was some suspicion about it, the matter was referred to Mr. Blake, the beadle, who, in an ingenious manner, discovered that the child was nearly nine days old ; and, on further inquiry, he found it was illegitimate. Death was the result of irritation of the bowels, from improper food, and the jury found 4 verdict according. THEATRE-ROYAL. and Mrs. Charles Mathews appeared last night In "The Captain of the Watch," "A Handsome Hus band," and "A Practical Man," with their usual sue taw Free, easy, flippant, and laughable, he commands attention and creates great amusement.

Charles Young, the distinguished burlesque actor, 1 40 has been performing during this week and last at t he Royal Amphitheatre, will take his benefit to-morrow eVening, when the piece of " Plot and Passion" will be batroduced, and give Mr. Young an opporttuaity of shew jug his great power of acting in serious drama, as well in burlesque. Indeed, it may be doubted whether any actar of burlesque can be good unless he has also a due 4 PPreeiation of the requisitions of deep tragedy. Mr. C. Young will play Desnzarez.; Mr. W. Cooper will play Auche ; Mr. J. C. Cowper will play Neuville ; and Miss L aura Gray will play Madame de Fontanges, a very h tl'ong cast. After this will be given the farce of " A Lady and Gentleman in a Peculiarly Perplexing Predi cament," Mr. C. Young and Miss Wyndham being the gentlenyan and lady ; to be followed by the new burlesque " Dido," which now goes freely and easily, the little hitches which must be allowed for on a first representation having now been got over. Miss , Wyndham is dressed splen didly, and acts her part with great ease. In a duet With Mils)) Goodall, there was an enthusiastic demand for, an ones?... And we must, mention that Miss Goodall. in this duet, and in her appeal to Dido, in the 'parody on "Ah! mon remors," from " Dinorah," sang with the greatest sweetness, energy, and expres sion. Mr. Chas. Young as Dido could not be surpassed• Ilia rendering of "Shells of Ocean," in falsetto, is a wonderful performance; and " By the sad sea waves" is also very effeetive. BIRKENHEAD COUNTY COURT. (Before J. W. HARDING, Esq.) ACTION FOR COMPENSATION. —YOUNG V. BAIDWIN. Bretherton appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Rymer for the defendant• The action was brought to recover £l5, compensation for injury done to a child of the plaintiff's.

According to returns just completed, we find thatiwe have in Liverpool fifty national schools, conducted on the national scheme of education, besides an unknown number of secular schools, schools attached to chapels, and private seminaries. In the national schools alone there are 21,830 children, exclusive of 1,052, the esti mated number of children under instruction at three sch ools, whose teachers have not yet sent in their returns. Last year there were in these establishments 22,522, showing as increase during the present year of 360. Estimating the whole population at half a million, we have about one in every twenty-three pursuing their education at the national establishments. This fact is highly, suggestive. The facilities available for the young, who chiefly belong to the lower orders, are numerous. In the first place, they have abundance of books at very low prices. They are taught reading, writing, arithme tic, English grammar, history, geography, drawing, and the element of mathematics in some instances ; in fact, they receive a plain English education, such an education as our middle class men, and even many of our merchants, have received. The teachers are invariably well trained, and are required to hold certi ficates of merit, signed by the Government Inspectors. The rate of charges, as all know, is extremely small— a penny, twopence, and threepence per week. The working classes certainly cannot say that education is not brought to their doors ; it is their own fault if they do not avail themselves of it. Having said this much of schools in general, we may be permitted to direct attention to those noble institutions of ours, the Blue coat Hospital and the Male and Female Orphan Asylums. The Hospital was established as far back as 1708, for the instruction of orphans and the fatherless reduced in circum stances. As is well known, they are fed, lodged, clothed, and educated ; and in addition to the usual instruction, the girls are taught sewing, knitting, and housekeeping. There are at present in the institution 350 children-250 boys and 100 girls. The Orphan Asylums are for the support of orphan boys and girls. The education re ceivsd here is very substantial, and the results are seen in men who have raised themselves to high posi tions in the commercial world. Well may Liverpool be proud of her Hospital and Orphan Asylums. The anniversary and the usual annual procession take place to-morrow. The teachers of the various schools, with their pupils, will assemble at the Blue Coat Hos pital about nine o'clock. The boys will enter St. Peter's churchyard, and the girls will be received into the Hos pital. The usual sermon will be preached in St. Peter's Church by the Rev. W. Pollock, M.A., vicar of Bowden. Then a procession will be formed, and the schools will proceed through Church-alley, north side of Church street, north side of Lord-street, North John-street, Dale-street, round Nelson's Monument; return on the west side Castle-street, south side Lord-street, to the Church. Prom thence they will be conducted .to their respective schools, and dismissed. The following are the returns of the number of chil dren at each of the schools : , Additi9- • Daily. nal on SCHOOLS.

THE SUICIDE IN THE MERSEY. THE INQUEST. Mr. Churton, the coroner for the district, held an inquest yesterday at the New Ferry Hotel on the body of Elizabeth Hannah Neild, wife of Mr. Henry Neild, cotton-spinner, of Ashton-under-Lyne, and daughter of Mr. John Gibson, a retired gentleman, living at Egre mont. _ James Smith, warehouseman, residing at Birken head, deposed that whilst fishing iu a boat near New Ferry, about four o'clock on Sunday afternoon, he received information from a young man that the body of a woman lay near Bromborougla Pool. He im mediately took his boat to the spot, and conveyed the body to the New Ferry Hotel, and, by the direction of the landlord, placed it in the stable. There were found on her person a gold watch and chain, a brooch con taining the portrait of her husband, a five pound note, one sovereign, a shilling, and a penny. There were on her finger two rings. The body appeared fresh, with the exception of the face, which was greatly disfigured. The witness gave it as his opinion that the body had not been in the water many days. George Pearce, boatman, living at New Ferry, saw the deceased lady between two and three o'clock on Thursday last. She was then walking hurriedly along the river side, in the direction of Bromborough Pool. She appeared rather excited, and she turned her head round three times to see whether any persons were following. "Witness feared that there might be some thing wrong, and continued looking after her until she disappeared in a turning in the rocks, at a distance of about 400 yards from New Ferry Hotel. In answer to a question by the Coroner, the first wit ness replied that the deceased's watch stopped at about a quarter to three o'clock. Mr. J. H. S. Gibson, sou of Mr. John Gibson, of Port-view, and brother of the deceased, said that she was thirty-two years of age. She had been on a visit to his father for a month or five weeks. He left the house on Thursday morning, leaving the deceased at home, and returned about eight o'clock in the evening, when he heard that his sister was missing, and that his father and sister were gone in search of her. A tele gram was despatched to the husband, who arrived next morning. Information was also given to the police h aut .._olll,lea Iu 1-•.— „ Donl. and in New Brighton; and every means were used to recover ner. wrivil over from Ashton-under-Lyne, she was in tolerably good bodily health ; but she appeared rather depressed in spirits. Her mind had been affected for about eighteen months. She had never attempted suicide, but she had now and then wished she was drowned, without, how ever, assigning any cause for doing so. She was under constant supervision, and had been under medical treatment. In answer to a juryman, the father stated that the cause of her indisposition was absence of mind and mental aberration. He further explained that on Thursday morning the deceased and her sister went to Liverpool to buy some gloves and other things, but the deceased was missed. Mr. Nield, the husband, who appeared very depressed, affirmed that he was aware of the mental indisposition of his wife ; and he had heard her expressing a wish, now and again, that she were dead. He - had obtained all the medical skill in his power, and had allowed her to visit Cheshire, thinking the change of air might act beneficially. Mr. Superintendent M'Dermot, on the part of the Cheshire police, stated that no information had been given to them of the deceased's absence from her friends. The Coroner summed up the evidence briefly, and explained that it was competent for the jury to return an open verdict of found drowned, or that of suicide whilst labouring under temporary insanity. After a few minutes' consultation the jury brought in a verdict of " Suicide whilst labouring under temporary insanity." [From motives of delicacy we abstained from pub lishing the particulars of this melancholy affair until the inquest had taken place. The account given of it by one of our contemporaries was inaccurate in several respects.] LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. HOUGHTON.) THE KNIFE. Bridget M'Glaw, a resident of Smithfield, was charged by Elizabeth Brophy, a resident of the same place, for having stabbed her. The prisoner and her husband had a quarrel, and the proseentrix interfered, when the prisoner stabbed her with a knife. She.was sent for trial. A WILD MAN. Thomas Harrison, a powerful-looking labourer, was brought up by Officer 216, charged for having assaulted him. The complainant said at seven o'clock on Monday evening he heard a great noise in Mann-street, Park, and on going to ascertain what it was, he saw a crowd, in the centre of which was the prisoner in a perfect state of nudity, shouting and jumping about in the wildest manner. He advised him to go home, when he knocked him down. The prisoner said he did not remember what happened. He was fined 10s. A POLITICAL ARGUMENT AND ITS RESULTS. Mr. Robert Greer, described as a chemist in Brownlow-hill, and formerly a police-officer, was charged by Offices Bainbridge, 558, for being drunk and disorderly. Mr. Cobb appeared to dispute the charge on part of the defendant. The officer s id, at twenty minutes to eight, on rriday evening last, the defendant was drunk and disorderly in Clown-street. He was put into the street by the landlord of a public-house at Vie corner of Oxford and Crown-streets, and pulled off his coat and hat, and wanted to get into the public-house again, but the landlord (Mr. Owens) would not let him. I wanted him to go away quietly, but he would Lot, and used very bad lan guage, and swore he would be revenged on Mr. Owens, I was obliged at last to take him into custody, and charge him for being drunk and disorderly. Cross-examined by Mr. Cobb : The public-house is at the corner of Crown and Oxford-streets, and I was told there was a political dispute in it, but I did not see or hear it myself. I saw the landlord turn Mr. Greer out of the house. Mr. Cobb : Why have you not got Mr. Owens here, hen'? Officer : He is here, sir. Mr. Cobb : What was Mr. Greer doing in the street? He was creating a disturbance in the street, and was drunk, and a number of gentlemen wanted me to take him away. Mr. Cobb : Did he say anything ? Yes ; he said if he could not fight in the house he would light in the street, and was the most disorderly man I have met with. Mr. Cobb : Did he molest any one in the street ? No, he did not ; but he shouted that he would have his revenge. He did not tell me his name or where he lived at that time ; but when near bridewell he did, and he was then quiet, and eould talk and walk pretty fair. Officer 623 said : I received Mr. Greer at the station, and he was drunk. Mr. Cobb : How drunk ? Not beastly drunk, but he was intoxicated. He was violent afterwards, kicking at the door for water. Sent for bail for him., but did not take it at the time, as he Was not fit to go out, being too drunk. Inspector Tomilson said : I was at the bridewell when Mr. Greer was brought there, and I consider he was decidedly drunk. Mr. Owens, the owner of the public house, said the defendant and two other persons entered his house and called for some gin and ale. A gentleman who frequents the house came in, and they had some political argument or other, but I did not hear exactly what it was ; but Mr. Greer's voice brought sue into the place where they were, and then lie flung a glass of ale into the gentleman's face, and broke the glass ; and I say the officer did nothing more than his duty in taking Mr. Green into custody. 'lle was half drunk, at least, when he came in. Mr. Cobb : Then why did you serve him with drink ? tie was sitting down when I served him, and I did not notice him at the time. I went to turn him out, when he created the disturbance, and he said he would blacken my eye and nay wife's eye also. I ,did turn him into the street, and then he stripped off to fight me. A gentlemen who said he saw the whole of the affair commenced by saying, the man was a complete lunatic (laugh ter) and jumped about roaring like a madman—(here-the wit ness attempted to imitate the capers of the defendant and caused much laughter). Mr. Cobb : Now, was he drunk or sober? Witness : I dont know what to make of him, he was a perfect lunatic and roaring madman. (Laughter). Mr. Cobb then made a long address contending that Mr. Greer was not drunk and that the policeman had no right to take him into custody. He argued that it all arose out of a political argu ment and words ran high, Mr. Greer was excited, but not drunk. Mr. Houghton : I never heard a clearer case in my life, and I think a great deal of time has been wasted with it. I fine him ss. and c osts for being drunk. APPLICATION FOR PROTECTION TO A WIFE. Mr. Bluck applied to the bench for an order of protection, under the Act of Parliament, on behalf of Mrs. Pozzi, of Islington, from her husband. He stated that Pozzi was a carver and gilder, in Islington, but some six months ago he deserted her, having sold off all his property. leaving her quite destitute. She had sought him several times since, and on one one or two occasions she saw him in the street, and on her approaching him, he ran away. He thought this was a clear case of desertion, and that the applicant was entitled to an order of protection, in order to secure he in any business that s he might enter into to support herself. r The applicant was then called, and having corroborated the statement, the magistrate made an order accordingly. (Before Messrs—HOUGHTON and HuTCIIISoN.) CHARGE OF MUTINY. Captain James Turner, of the barque Linda, charged a black man named John Williams, who was the cook of the ship, under the 243rd section of the Merchant Shipping Act, for continual and wilful disobedience, assaults, and for obtaining goods under false pretences from the steward. From the statement of Mr. Cobb, who appeared for the complainant, it appeared that the prisoner shipped in January, as cook for a voyage to the Brazils, and on the 6th of March, at Rio, when raising the anchor, the prisoner refused to do duty, and used very bad and abusive language. A number of entries from as howing t t h h e a t a a t a h a e ul t prisoner obtaine dlatter,an d gboorands tfahriosemhelo dt g hae w kns a t s eiwf r ea e ar a td d am and said copies of the to prove the entrie s, which he did, he captain ; and the captain was exined entries were given to the prisoner. Mr. 131uck cross-examined the captain at some length, and contended that the case was not proved, and the mag istrates being of that opinion, dis charged the prisoner. (Before Messrs. LAWRENCE and Bonn.) DON'T " SOUND THE LOUD TRUMPET." Henry Johnston, a newsvender, was summoned by a whichpolice o ffic e r, under the s th and 6th Vic., chap,. 149, enacts that "every person, except the guards and footmen of er Majesty's Post-office, in the discharge of their duty, who shall blow any horn, or use any other noisy instrument, fOr the purpose of calling persons together, or of announcing any s h o w entertainment, or for the purpose of hawking, selling, distributing or collecting any article whatever, or of obtaining money or alms, shall be liable to a penalty, not exceeding 405." On Monday morning the defendant was blowing his horn in Falkner-street, in order to sell his newspaper's, and for this he was summoned. Mr. Quick, the chief superin tendent of police, said the police never interfered in such a case, except when complaints of annoyance were made by the inhabitants, and in this case an invalid had made complaints of the annoyance he got from the blowing of the horn. The magistrates had no alternative but to fine the defendant, which they did in a sum of 2s 6d and costs. (Now would it not be a Proper thing for the police to interfere with the universally com op plainedof German bands that a nnoy thousands daily in the streets ?

VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A POLICEMAN. James Cassidy, Michael Canavan , Mar y Benson, and Ess y fiagshsin dyg il were charged by police-offi cer William Garve y , 504, with having assaulted him. The pri soners were drunk and Saltney-street, and the polic eman interfered, wh e n they all fell on him and assaulted him in a serious manner, splitting open his nose with a candlestick. The prisoners said it was the police that assaulted them; but however it was, the officers got the worst of it. The prisoners were fined---the women S-2 each; Canavan, who was not so bad as the others, L 5* end costs; and the other prisoner £2. 646 646 585 300 328 365. 633 358 [097 535 TliE DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1860. MEETING OF THE LIBERALS, LAST NIGHT, AT THE CONCERT-HALL. A numerously-attended meeting of the Liberals of this town was held last night, in the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street. The meeting was convened by the Liver pool Financial Reform Association, " to protest against the usurpation of taxing powers by the Lords, and to exhort the Commons to stand true to their own privileges and the constitutional rights of the people." Charles Holland, Esq., presided ; and among the other gentle men on the platform, were Messrs. J. R. Jeffery, C. E. Rawlins, jun., Lawrence Hey worth, R. W. Ronald, A. C. Stuart, Alderman Rylands, of Warrington, F. Boult, Thomas Urquhart, S. B. Jackson, the Rev. Mr. Dillon, J. T. Foard, C. J. Corbally, E. K. Muspratt, &e., &c. The hall was completely crowded. The CHAIR:IIIN rose amidst loud cheers, and some uproar, and said he stood in a peculiar position. It was intended that the chair should be taken by Mr. Robert son Gladstone, but that gentleman had some feeling in the matter, considering that his own brother was the party who introduced the proposition which was negatived by the House of Lords ; and he did not wish that any personal feelings should interest him in this great con - stitutional question. (Cheers.) He would, however, endeavour to discharge the duties as faithfully as he could. (Cheers.) Letters of apology were then read by the Secretary from Mr. Ewart, M.P., Mr. Horsfall, M.P., Mr. George Wilson, of Manchester, and Mr. James Molleneux. The following is Mr. Horsfall's letter : June 15, 1860. DEAR SIR,---I beg to thank you for the invitation to be pre sent at the meeting proposed to be held in the Concert Hall, Liverpool, on Tuesday next. It is always a matter of regret to me when I unfortunately differ from any of my constituents, and as the object of the meeting appears to be to affirm a principle in which Ido not concur, it is, perhaps, better that I should not be present, even had it been in my power. On Tuesday, however, I am engaged in the Committee of Merchant Shipping, and could not with propriety be absent.---I am, dear sir, yours faithfully, George Wilson, Esq., Tuos. B. HORSFALL. Chairman of the Anti-Corn Law League. The CHAIRMA.II then made a speech of considerable length. He said that no doubt all present would con cur with him in saying that a momentous question was now before them, and he considered they would agree with rum in tniulang that they should only be taxed through their representatives. (Loud cheers and applause.) The attitude of the Constitutional Asso ciation was perfectly intelligible to him, both from its antecedents, and from the position it had taken on the present question, and its principles had uniformly been directed against the progress of the people. The Financial Reform Association, as they knew, took entirely a different course. (Hear, hear.) The people of the country were, in the muss, satisfied with the glorious budget submitted by Mr. Gladstone. (Cheers.) Had it not been settled for the last two hundred years that the House of Commons had invariably passed money bills, and he would ask Lord Lyndhurst to put his finger on any one occasion in which the House of Lords had ventured to come to any resolution which affected the budget as a whole. The whole matter lay in this compass—Was the people to be taxed through their representatives in the House of Commons? (Cheers, and a voice, "You are getting out of your time, I think.") The chairman then referred at some length to the fact that the taxation of the people of the country was made only through the House of Commons, and contended that if once the Lords were allowed to put in an interference in financial matters, there was no saying where it might end. The mask wascertainly thrown off in therecent case _ _ _ _ in the House of Lords by Lord Derby and that wiseling Lord Monteagle. He then proceeded to point out the vast amount of property in the country, and the vast outlay necessary for keeping up its public establishments, and maintained that the enormous indirect taxation which was imposed on the people was only the result of Conser _. vative interference. The chairman then entered at some length into the obtrusiveness of the House of Lords, and concluded by introducing Mr. JEFFERY, who proposed the following resolution : That it is the established and indefeasible constitutional right of the people of this country to be taxed only with their own consent, by their own freely-elected representatives in the Commons House of Parliament; that, the House of Lords being an hereditary body, not subject to election, the members thereof are not representatives of the people; and, conse quently, that any interference of the Lords in the imposition or repeal of taxes, or the prevention of their repeal, is an infraction of the exclusive privileges of the House of Commons, and an encroachment on the rights and liberties of the people. During the delivery of this speech, the hall at various times reverberated with cat-calls and other unintelligible sounds, which were duly appreciated by the audience, and heartily responded to. Mr. FRANCIS BOULT seconded the resolution ; and, in doing so, he said that if the House of Lords had the power of putting a veto upon the taxes proposed by the House of Commons, or upon those repealed by the House of Commons, that body had virtually the power of taxation in their own hands. He thought it was an innovation of the most dangerous character, and one which ought not to be passed by without notice. The question was, who had th 6 right to tax the people ? It was most strange and wonderful to see by whom this attack upon the Constitution had been made. It had been made by what is generally called the '• great Tory party ;" he considered that this:showed that this party would sell the liberties of the people for even less than a mess of pottage. This attack had been made under the leadership of Lord Derby. (Cries of " Three cheers for Lord Derby.") The noble lord alleged as his reason for so doing, that the Commons had not provided sufficient for the expenditure of the ensuing year. But he would ask them whether they ever found the Commons slow at taxing them ? He believed that the expenditure had been amply provided for, and he had no doubt they would bear him out in this opinion. If trade and corn merce, hampered as they have been by customs duties, had done so much to increase the wealth and resources of the nation, was it not likely that a further develop ment of the same things would produce still greater results ? There was not a merchant or a tradesman in this town that had not been labouring to put money into the pockets of the Derby family. (Loud cries of " No, no," and " Don't tell lies.") He should most heartily second the motion which had been read. The resolution was then put and carried, amidst cheers and groans. Mr. C. E. RAWLINS moved the next resolution, which was as follows : That whether there be, or be not what are termed " pre cedents " for the obstructive course taken by the House of Lords, with respect to the Paper Duty Abolition Bill, the refusal of the Lords to permit the repeal of a tax which had been withdrawn by the Commons, on the proposition of the Ministers of the Crown, and for which a full equivalent had been provided in the shape of an addition to the Income-tax, constitutes such invasion of the privileges of the Commons and the rights of the people. He said the cry of the Lords had been " light weights" for the horses; "give the Jockey Club all its privileges, but take the privileges from the House of Commons." (Another confusion was here created, some of the "Free and Independents" indulging in running comments on the speaker's remarks, amidst cries of " Kick them out," "Put them through the window," &c.) Silence having been restored, the speaker said the great constitutional principle of the people's right to tax themselves was now sought to be taken from them. Taxation and representation had always been bound together, and they were there to-night to say that neither peers nor prelates should separate what the constitution had bound together. He referred to the time when Charles I. applied to the House of Commons for supplies, and read an extract from Mr. Pyra's speech at a conference which took place in con sequence. A little later, in the year 1671, the Com mons granted some taxes upon foreign commodities ; the bill was sent up to the Lords, and slightly altered by by them. The Commons would not brook' this, and passed a resolution to the effect that the Lords had no right to alter the rate or tax embodied in such a bill. A conference was called upon this occasion also, and the Commons completely overwhelmed the Peers with pre cedents. He also read what he said was one of the last entries on the books of the House of Commons with reference to this subject. A money bill had been sent up, which was altered (in regard to the mode in which the money should be raised) by the House of Lords. The Commons then passed a resolution ignoring the right of the House of Lords to pursue such a course. There were a few instances of a money bill being rejected before and since the Revolution, hut he could find no example of a bill for supplies being rejected. The Commons still retain the full power of arranging the taxation of the country. The amount which the Crown required was the only money bill (if there was really any), upon which the Lords had the least right to pass a vote. The Commons had now appointed a committee to search for precedents, and a dreary search it must be. But whatever might be the result of that inquiry, he trusted that the people of this country would consider the question for themselves, and put it upon a firm and stable basis. The House of Lords was not now in a more critical position than in 1836, when it out raged public opinion by rejecting the bill for the repeal of the corn laws. Public opinion now governed the world. That very moment the despot of Naples was cowering within the recesses of his dominions because of that opinion. He recollected that, when Garibaldi had power in Italy, the first thing that he did was to abolish the tax on food ; and he would ask them who should be their Garibaldi in the House of Commons ? of "John Bright," hisses.) and (Cries Whoever they might choose, it would be their duty to stand firmly by him, and to support him in the endeavour to pursue a l eg itimate and constitutio na l course. Whether they earned their bread by intellectual or by manual labour, they earned it with the sweat of their brow ; and he t rus ted and believed that th e y wou ld never allow their for the to be f ettered by a body entirely ir res p onsible the result. (Loud cheers.) Mr. R. W. RONALD seconded the resolution, which was put and carried. LAWRENCE HEYWORTR, Esq., then addressed the mee ting. He referred to various precedents which the The Commons had set with regard to this quest i on . had more than once stood forward and boldly asserted their exclusive right to tax the people, He trusted that the English people would not now forget those excellent examples which their forefathers had set them, but say in like manner that they would be taxed by none but their representatives. Such a course would be not only for their own present good, but also for the good of their shildren and of posterity in general. He felt deeply for the people, and his heart sympathised with the objects of the present meeting. He concluded by moving— That a petition, embodying these resolutions,, and ex horting the House of Commons, irrespective of all party motives, to stand true to itself, and by the people, in a contest not surpassed in importance by any that has occurred in the constitutional history of this country, be signed by the chair man on behalf of the meeting, and entrusted to J. C. Ewart, Esq., M.P., for presentation. The following resolution and petition was also sub• mitted, and carried amidst great .applause. That the following be the petition : To the honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled. The petition of the inhabitants of Liverpool, in public meet hag assembled, signed by the chairman in their behalf, Respectfully sheweth, That it is the established and indefeasible constitutional right of the people of this country to be taxed otdy with their own consent, and by their own freely-elected representatives in the Commons House of Parliament. That the House of Lords is an hereditary body, not subject to election, and that the members thereof are not the repre sentatives of the people. That, as a necessary consequence of these propositions, any interference by the House of Lords in the imposition or repeal of taxes, or the prevention of their repeal, is an infraction of the exclusive privileges of your honourable House, and an infringement of the constitutional rights of the people. That whether there be, or be not, precedents for the obstruc tive course taken by the Houk e of Lords with respect to the Paper Duty Abolition Bill, the refusal of the Lords to permit the repeal of a tax which had been withdrawn by your honoura ble House, on the proposition of the Ministers of the Crown, and for which a full equivalent had been provided by your hon ourable House, with the assent of the Lords, in the shape of an addition to the income-tax, constitutes such infraction of the privileges of your honourable House, and of the rights of the people. Your petitioners therefore humbly pray that your honour able House, irrespective of all party motives, will stand true to its own privileges, and by the rights of the people, in a con test which, as your petitioners verily believe, has not been surpassed in importance by any that is recorded in the consti tutional history of the country ; and that your hon. House will be pleased to adopt such measures as to its wisdom may seem fitting, with a view to place its own privileges, and the rights of its constituents, on such a broad and unequivocal basis that the House of Lords shall never again presume, eiwei 1...1,—,ance or hv desien. to interfere with any me asure affecting the taxation of the 'people. J. R. JEFFERY proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman. In doing so, he said Mr. Holland . had been a member of the Financial Reform Association from its very infancy to the present time. During that long time his services had . been most valuable ; he had laboured unceasingly in the cause of progress, and deserved to be called the people's friend. At the meet ing that night they had had some little disturbance, but no more than was usual on such occasions. He felt sure that they would all agree to the present resolution, viz., a vote of thanks to the chairman. The motion was seconded, and carried by acclamation. After three cheers for Messrs. Cobden and Bright, and three for Garibaldi, the Italian hero, the meeting terminated. LIVERPOOL SESSIONS.-YESTERDAY. ;Before S. B. ASPINALL, Esq., Deputy Recorder.) Three men, named James Hesketh, Edward Burns, and Robert Foulds, were brought for trial upon a charge of stealing 69 lbs. of Indian-rubber, the property of Messrs. Rayner and Co. Hesketh and Burns were porters, and Foulds, who was charged with receiving the stolen property, knowing it to be such, is a chemist, carrying ou business in Pitt-street. Mr. Bolton was for the prosecution, and Messrs. Deighton and Littler (instructed by Mr. Cobb), defended Foulds ; the other two prisoners were undefended by counsel. _ _ Mr. Bolton, in opening the case, detailed the par ticulars of the property being missed from the ware house of Messrs. Rayner, and of the two prisoners being found with it in the shop of Foulds. The first witness called was Andrew Bryan, who said he was employed on the 14th, 15th, and 16th of March last, as weight taker for Messrs. Brown, Shipley, and Co. There were 59 cases of Indian-rubber, which arrived by the ship Yorkshire, in the Victoria Dock. Witness took the weights of some of the cases, but not of all of them. The marks were "D. J. A.," and also F. and a diamond. He saw them all loaded on a cart, and sent to Messrs. M'lver's warehouse, in M'Viccar-street. John Horan, the next witness, proved that the Indian-rubber was deposited in No. 3 room of M'lver's warehouse, which room was occupied by the Messrs. Rayner, brokers to Brown, Shipley, and Co. James Wooley corroborated the testimony of Horan. Evau Hughes, porter to Messrs. Brown, Shipley, and Co., received the cases at the warehouse. A portion of the Indian-rubber taken from these cases was produced in court and compared with that which was seized on the premises of Mr. Foulds. John Howard, another witness, said that the case marked " F and a diamond" had been opened for muip i6 ,, n _ a _ T ._ ~,,,.la 1.--„ -. .. e cueu Li, tiy starting the lid. The prisoner Burns asked Howard if 69 lbs. of Indian-rubber could be taken from the case without its being noticed ? Witness replied that he thought it could not. It was proved that Hesketh and Burns were employed as porters by Messrs. Rayner in No. 3 room during the time that the Indian-rubber was there. Mr. Roderick Rayner was called, and he examined the Indian-rubber produced in court, and stated that it was precisely similar to that which he had received for sale from Messrs. Brown and Shipley. It was worth about 2s. 7d, per lb. That portion of it called " Negro head " was worth Is. per lb. Hesketh and Burns said that while sweeping the floor of the room in Exchange-buildings, they took some " negro head," being authorised to do so by Mr. Lloyd Rayner, brother to the witness. Detective-officer Patrick deposed to seeing Hesketh and Burns in the shop of Mr. Foulds, with 9 lbs. of Indian-rubber, which Mr. Foulds was weighing. Patrick went in and bought some cough lozenges. Foulds denied buying the Indian-rubber. Patrick called detective-officer Laycock to his assistance. They asked Foulds whether he had any more Indian-rubber, and he said no. On searching the cellar they found the whole of the 60 lbs. of Indian-rubber in a bag. Foulds told them he had purchased it from Mr. Edwards, dealer in water-proof clothing. Mr. Edwards was called and denied this statement. The jury having been addressed by Mr. Deighton and by the deputy-recorder, they retired, and found James Hesketh guilty of stealing the smaller quantity (9 lbs.), Burns guilty of the same, and Foulds not guilty receiving the stolen property, knowing it to have been stolen. Hesketh and Burns were each sentenced to two months' imprisonment. As the prisoner Foulds was leaving the dock, he was taken into custody upon another charge, of receiving certain quantities of stolen bees-wax. The following sentences were passed during the day: -- Andrew Radcliffe, stealing a pair of boots, six months ; Maria Kelly, stealing a watch and chain, one month ; Ellen Burns, participating in the same, four months. Mary Ann Mac Govern, stealing a gold breast-pin, ten weeks ; Mary Milligan, stealing eight shawls and other wearing apparel, three months ; Mary Eccles, stealing £24 10s., one month. ITEMS OF IRISH NEWS.—A railway is proposed between Parsonstown and Portumna.—The price of butter in Tipperary, on Friday, was 675. first, 665. seconds, and 635. to 645. thirds. '3OO firkins at market. —A large tom store is to be erected in Thurles (by subscription) for the accommodation of corn buyers during the season. —Very fine ripe cherries are now sold -every day in the streets of Limerick. DEFECTS IN THE NEW REFRESHMENT AND WINE LICENSES Ac r.—Two material defects in this Act have been discovered, and an Act will be required to amend them. The houses are not to be opened before 5 or after 12 in the section, but in the license in the schedule of the act " four" have been placed for "five". In the 27th section, where the honrs are mentioned, the borough of " Finsbury " has been omitted from the other metropolitan boroughs and cities. The new duties are payable from the Ist of July, and a short Act will probably be forthwith introduced. DEPARTURE OF HEENAN.—In consequence of the failure of the provincial sparring tour of Sayers and Heenan, which has proved decidedly a bad speculation, the engagement entered into by both pugilists has been broken off, and Heenan has wisely determined to embark for America in the course of a few days. The Morning Post remarks that Heenan has gone off to America after one drawn battle, with a belt labelled " The Champion of England," whereas the true belt can only be won by being successfully held for three years against all corners. THE PAISLEY SHAWL TRADE.—The shawl trade of Paisley is undoubtedly depressed, but fashion has done it all, and the result may be seen in any of our thorough fares, where at least one woman in three wears a plain violet, brown, or black shawl of French manufacture. Of these it is a moderate calculation to say that about 500,000 have been sold in Great Britain during the last twelve months ; and why has not Paisley supplied theni ? Simply because Paisley can neither make nor dye the article within 30 per cent., if at all. The value of the grievance inflicted by the recent change will be appre ciated from the fact that for some years past these goods have only been subject to a duty of 4d. per pound weight, which, as a shawl weighs say 12 or 13 ounces, and is of an average value of 125., gives a protection of 3d. per shawl, or say 2 per cent. That other classes of shawls enjoyed the higher protection of 10 or 15 per cent. is undoubtedly true, and in those Paisley can still hold her ground ; but this is the present cause of injury. The're are some things which cannot be made in Scotland, but others in which the Scotch manufacturers excel. For the woollen and tartan shawls, for example, it is probable • that our French neighbours will be good customers, not ; withstanding the duty. UNIVERSITY "SPINNING" HOUSE. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice Earle and a Special Jury.) CATTAWAY AND WIFE V. SMITH. This was an action brought against the defendant, one of the proctors of the university of Cambridge, for having, in his official capacity, taken up and imprisoned the wife of the plaintiff iu the "spinning" house of the university as an immoral person, although it was known she was the wife of a fireman on the Eastern Counties Railway. The fact of the woman's detention, which occupied only half an hour, was fully proved. Mr. O'Malley addressed the jury for the proctor, and Mr. Edward James for the plaintiff. The learned judge having summed up, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £5O. DAMAGES FOR DEFAMATION OF A SERVANT'S CHARACTER. :Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) DARLINGTON V. RAVENSHAW. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a servant girl, against the defendant, a widow lady, residing on her property, at Harvey-street, Cavendish-square, for compensation in damages for defamation of character. The defendant pleaded not guilty. It appeared from the evidence of the plaintiff that in August last she was in the employ of the defendant, who at that time went to St. Leonard's, leaving her in possession of the whole of the property in the house. The defendant returned in September, and whilst she was in the house she asked for a half bottle of brandy which she left in the cupboard when she left town. The plaintiff went to the cupboard and found it was gone, but upon her return to the defendant she explained that a charwoman had been in the house who was dis charged on account of her drunkenness, and that it was very probable that she had taken it. After that the de fendant went again to St. Leonard's, leaving her in sole possession of the property. Nothing was said about the brandy until a Mrs. Murray was at the house, and she mentioned it to the plaintiff, upon which the plain tiff said she would leave the service. She applied to Mrs. Gazelling for a situation, who asked the defendant nq to plaintiff's rharacter, when ii, was alleged the defen dant told Mrs. Gazelling that during her absence the plaintiff had stolen half a bottle of brandy, and that she drank it in the house, in consequence of which, the plaintiff alleged, she was unable to procure a situation. The defence was, that the defendant never used the words complained of. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £2O. AN OBSTINATE GRAND JURYMAN. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN COURT. On the names of the gentlemen summoned on the grand jury for the county of Surrey being called over to be sworn, Mr. Stephen Miles, millwright, of Willow walk, Bermondsey, refused to be sworn. Chairman— Why do you refuse to be sworn, sir? Mr. Miles— Because I am not fit to do so. lam a working man, and I don't like grand juries. Chairman— That's no excuse. You have a right to serve as well as your neighbours. I recollect excusing you the last time ; you must serve now. Mr. Miles—l object to serve. lam a poor working man, and only the rich ought to be called on to serve on grand juries. The last time when I was excused, I had a contract to put up a machine in the country, and had I not gone I should have forfeited the value. The Chairman—That cannot be taken as an excuse on this occasion. You must be sworn ! Mr. Miles—l object to be sworn on these grounds:— I shan't agree with-anybody. I never did, and I never can. (Laughter.) Chairman—l am surprised to hear that from a res pectable tradesmen. Surely you can assist your neigh bours in performing a duty due to your country. Mr. Miles—lt's of no use. I can't side with any body. (Renewed laughter.) Clerk of the Peace—But you will have two sides to choose from. (Laughter.) Mr. Miles—l tell you, sir, I never did agree with any body yet, and I can't side even with myself. (Laughter.) Chairman—Under the circumstances, Mr. Miles, I shall not call on you at present to be sworn. Your conduct is very extraordinary, as you ought to do your duty and serve on grand juries, when summoned, as well as your neighbours. If there is any faith to be put in your remarks, 1 am apprehensive that if you were sworn that your conduct would be a source of trouble to your fellow grand jurymen, and under those circum stances I think they ought not to be troubled with you. You may sit down. . Mr. Miles (seizing up his hat)—Thank you, sir, that's what I want. Then I may go. (Laughter.) Chairman—Oh, no, Mr. Miles. You must remain in court at present. . . Mr. M i les—Very well. I'll take my seat again. The other grand jurymen having been sworn, the chairman said he had no remark to make to them except ing that he had no doubt they would do without the gentleman who had just sat down. They performed their duties so well on the last occasion that he should at once dismiss them to their room. The grand jury then retired. Mr. Miles—l suppose I can go now, sir Chairman—Yes, you may go ; but I hope you will think of it, and perform your duty like a man on another occasion. lam afraid you have imposed on the court. Mr. Miles then quitted the court. Two young gentlemen were drowned by a boat cap sizing in Belfast Lough on Saturday evening. A not of Garibaldi's is quoted :—" I came to Sicily, where I beat an army without a general : I am now going to Rome, to beat a general without an army." The Journal de Constantinople announces the death in that city of Reout Pasha, who was five times Grand Vizier ; he had attained the advanced age of 93. Thole is another case coming on very shortly before Mr. Justice Cresswell that will cause surprise to the fashionable world. The husband, who is the defendant, is an Irishman; the wife has the reputation of being the handsomest woman in England, and is from one of the southern counties. ENGLAND AND FRANCE.—The prize of 50 guineas offered by the Rev. Dr. Ernerton, of Hanwell College, Middlesex, for the best essay on the immense importance of a close union of England and France, has been awarded by the adjudicators—Lord theßrougham, he Earl of Clarendon, and the Ea rl of Shaftesbury, to Rev. W. N. Molesworth, M.A., P.C. of St. Clement's, Roch dale, the author of various publications. The French adjudicators—Messrs. Thiers, Mignet, and Merimee, have not yet awarded the prizes of 1,000 francs and 250 francs offered by Dr. Emerton for the best French essays on the same subject. SINGULAR EXPLOSION OF AN OLD RUSSIAN CAN NON AT LEEDS.—An elderly man, named William Brown, is now lying dangerously ill at the Leeds Infir mary, from injuries received last Wednesday, by an explosion at the Pottery Field. Foundry, Hunslet, Leeds. For some time past Messrs. Cooper and Co. have been melting up old Russian guns; and, in order to guard against accidents, instructions were given to the men that all the pieces should be tested before being placed on the fire. These instr uctions, however, do not appear to have been carefully followed out in the pre present instance, for the old man very imprudently put a red-hot rod of iron into the muzzle of an old gun, in the chamber of which some powder and rubbish seems to have accumulated, and the result was that the gun exploded with considerable violence, and inflicted very serious injuries about Brown's face, chest, arms, and other parts of the body. Two MEN BURIED ALIVE.—An accident of an alarming nature, endangering the lives of two colliers, occurred on Friday last, at one of Messrs. Dixon's pits, at Tipton. Two men, named Davies and Evans, were engaged in a part of the pit about nine o'clock in the morning, when an immense mass of coal and dirt gave way above them, and buried them several yards deep. Between four and five in the evening the two sufferers were released from their perilous position. Contrary to the expectations of those present the men were alive, hut insensible. They were dreadfully bruised and dis figured. AN ARTIST IN DIFFICULTIES.—The Illustrated London News contains letters and sketches from its special cor respondent at Palermo (Mr. Frank Vizetelly). Here is his postcript :—" Palermo, June 7.—1 intended to send you five sketches by the Caradoc, which leaves to-day for Naples, but I am unable. During the days of the fighting, and immediately afterwards, I was so much about in the sun, and this, combined with the stench of the dead blocking the narrow streets in all directions, brought on an attack of fever that completely knocked me up for three days. I sat amongst a pile of dead, for two hours or more, at the White Benedictine Convent, sketching the horrors there : and this, I believe, brought on the attack. I have five rough sketches, made in different parts of the town, of injury done by the bom bardment to life and houses, and of different points, where the fighting was most severe, and these sketches it was impossible for me to finish on the spot, as I was exposed to falling houses and chance shots. Had I not been knocked up these would have been sent off ; as it is, I will despatch them the first opportunity."

The Queen will hold a levee to-day in St. James's Palace. On Friday, her Majesty will give a State Ball in Buckingham Palace. Invitations have been issued to a very numerous party of the nobility and gentry. His Royal Highness the Prince Consort will preside as master at the customary annual banquet at the Tri nity House, Tower-hill, on Saturday next, to which the leading Cabinet Ministers and a distinguished circle are invited. THE GREAT EASTERN• PLymotrrir, Sunday Evening. The steamship Great Eastern, Captain Vine Hall, hove in sight from the Camera on the Hoe .at ,ten: minutes after seven o'clock this evening, and was apparently in a line with 'the Eddystone Lighthciuse at twenty minutes after eight- Wind southerly, very light. Four or more funnels smoking. Paddle and screw going; no canvas set. After heaving in sight she seemed to hug the land so as to be better observed, and then steered a more southerly course, which took her three miles at least outside the Eddystone. While off the port her engines were slowed for a short time. When last observed the Great Eastern was steering a course which would take her clear of the Channel, but if bound to call off Falmouth she would arrive there about mid night. LATEST BETTING.

By the Peri we have received our usual file's of the Aucklandpapers to the 28th March last. F rom the monthly summary of the New Zealander•. of that date we make the following extracts : The long , prevalence of south-easterly - wind s had the effect of keeping back the passenger ships beyond their time. The Blue Jacket arrived, on the 16th, and the Frenchman and Lord Biirleigh on the 22nd. -The respective pas- sages were 111, 104, and 125 'days. The prog•iebs of actual settlement continues, steady and highly encouraging. No mouth, indeed, has witnessed a larger quantity of land taken up than this month of March—and the arrivals by the last ships are the most active in looking after their "forty acres," and selecting them. An extensive fire had occurred in Auckland, which had destroyed a considerable block of brick buildings. The damage was estimated at about £6,000. The natives had rendered great assistance in extinguishing the fire. Coal has been discovered at Wangaroa. The current rate of wages at Auckland. in March, 1860, was as follows : Bakers, from 20s. to 30s. per week, with board and lodging; bricklayers and masons, 10s. to 12s. per day (good hands get 125.); blacksmithi (if able to shoe and do all sorts of country work), Bs. to 9s. per day (not wanted at present) ; house carpenters, joiners, wheel wrights, &c., from 6s to 8s per day ; farm servants (single), from £25 to £35 per annum, with board and lodging ; farm servants (married couples), £5O per annum, with board and 16dging; glaziers and painters, 7s to lOs per day; female (domestic servants), from £2O to £3O per annum. One hundred and fifty feet of the extension of the Admiralty Pier, at Dover, may now be seen at low water. Another poor man appeared before Mr. Selfe, at the Thames . Police Court, yesterday, to com plain of the stoppage of his annuity by the United Kingdom Benevolent Fund. SWISS POLITICAL BANQUET.—A committee of the Swiss residents in England have resolved to entertain at a public dinner M. A. de la Rive, the Minister of the Confederation. The incident, at any time a very interesting one, is particularly so at the present morudnt, and may prove an important expression of political opinion and sympathy, The dinner will take place on Thursday next, at the London Tavern. DEATH OF MR. COMMISSIONER MURPHY.—Mr. Com missioner Murphy, of the Insolvent Debtors' Court, died at his residence, at Kensington, early on Sunday morning. The deceased commissioner represented Cork for about 20 years, and resigned on being appointed commissioner' of the Insolvent Debtors' Court in 1853. He was a member of Lincoln's-inn, and was called to the bar in 1833, and in 20 years was appointed a com missioner of the court. CRICKET.—ENGLAND v. AUSTRALIA.—The All Eng land Eleven are not coming out to this colony. George Parr positively declines to risk another sea voyage after the American expedition, and Wisden shares in his com panion's fears. Two Cambridge gentlemen express their willingness to come if they are allowed - t3OO cash down in addition to their expenses. Bat this, we fear, would make it rather toe expensiVe a cricket match to be readily undertaken.--Me/bourne Herald. TILE PRINCESS. FREDERICK WILLIAM.—.The ap proaching .Entbitidimg of her Royal Highness the. Prin cess Frederick William is watched with great interest by the inhabitants of this city, with whom the Princess is and ever has been, a great favourite. The event, it is rumoured, will be honoured by a visit of the Princess's august mother, and though nothing is as yet known of ficially about this latter arrangement, the Berlinese are already making great preparations for a worthy recep tion of both the gracious ruler of the British Isles, and the as yet unknown "little stranger" of the lonigliches Sehloss.—Berlin Correspondent of the Court News. THE NEW ITALIAN KINGDOM.—From the facial table of the late elections in the New Italian Kingdom, just published, we find that the total number of electoral colleges, and consequently of deputies, was 387 before the cession of Savoy and- Niee to .France. From this number, we must now deduct eight deputies for the province of Annecy, ten for that of Chatubery, and four for the arrondissement of Nice, supposing the French frontier to stop at Vintimiglia exclusively, as stated some time ago by Count Cavour. Hence the total number of deputies in the Italian chamber will hence forth be 365, as many as the days in the year. THE LATEST CONCERNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP. From Wilkes' (New York) Spirit of the Times we learn, that Sayers and Heenan will give pugilistic encounters, all in a friendly way, in the United States, after they have concluded their engagement with the proprietOrs of the Cremorne Gardens, London, where they have engaged for $6,250 each for a month's sparring. Mean while, Heenan has challenged Morrissey for any sum from twen ty thousand dollars down to ten cents, to suit MorrisseY's pocket. From the latest letters of Mr. Wilkes, we learn that Heenan and Sayers are now fast and fixed friends. A SINGULAR SUICIDE. —As a French Custom-house officer was, a few days ago, on duty at a place called Niffer, on the banks of the Rhine, he , saw a small boat approaching, in which was a man apparently about thirty-five Years of age. When within speaking dis tance, the individual in the boat, addressing the offiecr in German, said, " I request you to take charge of this little boat, and send it back to the Baden village of Kirchen. As for rue, lam about to proceed to America, as lam a good swimmer." So saying, he jumped into the water, and was carried away by the current. No thing was found in the boat to lead to the identity of the individual, who appeared, from his dress, to belong to a respectable class of society. He had on a light summer trousers, a grey paletot, and a brown beaver hat. SHOCKING AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday afternoon an accident, which terminated fatally, occur red to Mr: Southgate, many years foreman in the mach ine department of the Weekly Dispatch. It appears that the deceased was in the act of replacing the "strap" on the "rigger" of the machine, which had come to a stand-still by its displacement, when the engine was put in motion before he had completely finished, and the consequence was that a portion of the clothes of the unfortunate mall gOt entangled with the " flange " of the shaft, drawing in his body, which was carried round several times, his head and limbs striking the wall with great violence on each revolution. As speedily as p6s sible the engine was stopped, and with great difficulty the unfortunate man was released, his clothes having to be cut from him in order to enable 4 them to do so. Two surgeons were promptly in attendance, and immediately recommended him to be taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he expired shortly after his admission. The deceased was highly respected by the trade, and his death is much deplored by those connected with the establishment. PERIL OF GARIBALDI ATSFA . — Whe nthe two steamers were out at sea beyond the Sardinian coast, Garibaldi gave orders that there should be no lights on board during the night. Wishing to take a little rest, he left the deck in charge to his second, desired him not to lose sight of his consort, which was commanded by Bixio. But this steamer was the faster of the two, and after a few hours it became so dark that she could no longer be seen. Garibaldi was called, and he then ordered a lantern to be hoisted as a signal, so as to let Bixio see that he was too far ahead, and must slacken speed. Bixio did, in fact, see the light ; but knowing Garibaldi's order to have none on board after nightfall, he concluded that it was some Neapolitan ship giving chase. On the instant, he wore his own vessel round and steered right against the sapposed craft of the enemy, with the intention of r unning into her and knocking a hole in her side if possible. But when the two vessels neared each other,. Garibaldi, by the faint glimmering of the stars, sa w and recognised his consort, and havig rung the large bell on board, a signal previously agreed upon between himself and Bixio; and springing to the wheel, be avoided the collision. But for the chief's nerve and presence of mind the expeditionary force would have been destroyed then and there, and Gari baldi have been sent to the bottom by his best friend, who would have perhaps shared his fate. Captain Gastaldi, who is a young seaman, comparatively, being only seven and twenty, shook with emotion as he wa s describing this scene.—. Letter from Turin, STEAM PRINTING WORKS, 32.
