LIVERPOOL VOLUNTEER BOROUGH GUARD. This distinguished local corps is daily recruiting in numbers and popularity, under the command of its esteemed commander, Joseph Mayer, Esq. The mem bers appear to be very enthusiastic in the cause, and determined net to be behind in drill and efficiency, as many have extra morning drill in addition to the even ing drills in Gill-street Market. Captain Bousfield, after reviewing the corps on Tuesday night, addressed the members in highly complimentary terms on their advanced state of drill and general soldierly bearing; and on Thursday night, Captain Mayer, on parade, read the following letter from Mr. John P. Cowley, of Hare place Saw-mills, one of the corps, who has organised a fife and drum band of twenty-one performers, who have all volunteered to give their services gratuitously : "Captain Mayer, I have much pleasure in referring You to the above list of instruments, and request you to accept of them as a free gift from me to the Liverpool Volunteer Borough Guard, of which honourable corps, I feel proud to say, I am a member ; and should my ser vices be ever requested to further its interest, I shall alway s be but too happy in having an opportunity of rendering them. With most hearty good wishes for its success, and long life to yourself as the first officer of a Corps which I trust mar be long recognised as one of the most distinguished local institutions." The enthusiasm and patriotic sentiments of Mr. Cowley seemed to animate all the bandineu, who per formed several excellent favourite marches round the parade during the night, and wound up with the National Anthem in a very creditable manner, the guardsmen ar-d strangers uncovered; after which they were com plimented proficiency bY Mr. Denson, the chairman, on the great they bad already attained, and after three hearty cheers for the chairman and Captain Mayer, the meeting separated. THEATRE ROYAL. Madame Celeste, along with several members of the -" ° .Yal Lyceum Th eatre , London, will appear at the Theatre Royal on Monday next. The entertainments for next week will commence each evening with a new ( ~4 1 raM e fantastipre, entitled "Paris and Pleasure; or, and Happiness," and will conclude with a new 411,1 original extravaganza, entitled " King Thrush 13eard." At the t erm i na ti on o f the extravaganza will 1, ' e given a fanciful representation of the "Apotheosis of the Chrysalis, amid the Fairy Ferns of Fancy ;" a tillecessful display of scenic effect, forming altogether °lie of the most brilliant, costly, and surpassingly beau tiful exhibitions ever witnessed.

The man was at times intemperate, and had gone home drunk that night, when his wife showed him the utmost kindness, and as usual handed him a pint of home-brewed beer. But, not satisfied with this he at length grew outrageous, and threatened to shoot her. She rushed with her boy to the chamber stairs to avoid his fury. This enraged him still more, and he in a moment seized his gun, which was loaded with shot, and fired at her as she was going up the first steps of the stairs. Fortunately both she and the boy escaped, or the consequences might have been fatal to one or both. The prisoner attempted to deny that the gun contained shot ; but as the perforations are plainly to be seen in the chamber door and walls of the house, the evidense could not be doubted. The poor woman did not wish her husband to be criminally prosecuted, and simply begged that lie might be bound over to keep the peace. This was accord ingly done, himself in £lO and two sureties in £5, or in default to be imprisoned for six months. THE MURDER AT STAMFORD-SUICIDE OF THE ACCUSED. The excitement occasioned by the horrible murder of Miss Elizabeth Pulley was on Thursday brought to a climax by its becoming known that Henry Corby, the man charged with the foul crime, had committed suicide in his cell at the gaol at Stamford. It appears that the conduct of the prisoner, whilst in cuatody, had been such as to disarm suspicion that he was likely to make any attempt upon his life; he was therefore allowed to sleep alone. Corby was visited by the governor (Mr. Hewerdine) several times in the course of Aredifesday, and was last seen alive in the evening, when he was locked up for the night. On Thursday morning it was discovered that the prisoner had hung himself ; he had improvised a halter by tearing up one of the sheets of his bed, and with this he had suspended himself to an iron stanchema in the windows of his call. When found the body was not quite cold, but it was supposed by Mr. Howard, the gaol surgeon, that life had been extinct about six hours. On a slate the deceased had written, in a tolerably bold hand, the following letter to his family :--- "My dear Wife wad Children ---I hope the Lord will pre serve you through these trials and troubles, and pray to him to assist you. I hope you will all of you be friendly one with another. Joe, be sure you stop with Mr. B. as long as he wishes for you. You may be a help to your mother, aad she to you. I hope you will all look to your mother. Tell her I think she had better go to the board, and see if they will allow her anything to assist her. Now, above all, try to forget me as soon as you can. Sell all that I wore, so that it may not put me in remembrance. If anyone mentions say you do not wish to hear anything. Asti the mayor if Mr. Ward (superintendent of police) should not give up the money and things he took from me. Joe, my dear boy, keep from public houses. Ask Mr. Law (solicitor) if he has got any money in for you. May the Lord preserve you all from sin and Satan. "Adieu, my dear wife, from your unfortunate husband. "Adieu, my dear children, from your unfortunate father, "HENRY CORBY. "May the Lord rest my soul. Amen." The other side of the slate the prisoner had covered with particulars of work by him and of money due to him. An inquest was at once held ou the body befure Mr. John Totkington, the borough coroner, when the jury returned a verdict of felo de se. . . Although the wretched man made no admission of his guilt, little doubt exists from the e‘idence that was to bo brought forward at tae adjourned examination, but that he was the perpetrator of the dreadful crime.. DOMESTIC TRAGEDY. A MELANCHOLY CASE-SUICIDE OF A PHY SICIAN'S WIFE-JEALOUSY THE CAUSE. Mrs. Mary Anne Latson, wife of Dr. William B. Latson, of No. 985 Eighth avenue, committed suicide on Wednesday evening under somewhat melancholy circumstances. Deceased, it appeared, was of a jealous disposition, and had frequent quar rels with her husband growing out of his attentions to certain of his female patients. Year after year she implored him to give up a business which brought him in contact with so many women, but in vain. Dr. Latson regarded her suspicions as the result of a weak mind, and would not consent to abandon his profession to suit the caprice of his jealous wife. On several occasions deceased threatened to destroy herself if her hus band would not gratify her wish, and en one or two occasions she actually took a quantity of morphine with that intention. On Wednesday morning deceased quarrelled with herhua 'and about some matter which transpired at Pat rson, N.J. After breakfast she suddenly left the house, with a market basket in her hand, and procuring a quantity of charcoal returned to her home for the purpose of executing the oft-repeated threat of suicide. On entering the house she quietly proceeded to her bed-room, fastened the door, stuffed the key-hole and windows with cotton, and coolly prepared to take her leave of this world. Before setting fire to the charcoal she wrote a harried note to her husband, bidding him farewell, and giving him her reasons for committing suicide (which will be found in our annexed report of the coroner's inquest), and then, throwing herself upon the floor, awaited the approach of death. deceased was not discovered until several hours after death, so that all chance of resuscitation was out of the question. Below will be found a report of the testimony as taken before Coroner Scheimer, on Thursday evening, together with other interesting details of the tragedy : Mrs. C. A. Clayton, of 461, Eighth-avenue, deposed that while she was in the house of the deceased, waiting to get her teeth fixed, she observed deceased coming in with a basket on her arm; deceased passed up stairs without speaking to the witness, and entered a back room. The basket was covered so that witness could not see what it contained. Adeline Howard, of 245, West Thirty-first-street, deposed li e p e ah ase r d e ' p s a p il l i a n e g e t o o f i r t e ei sii h le e n a c ro e o o na n W he ed fo n u e n sd d ay the af d tc, o t o •n r oo lo n e , and ; upon that she was a sister-in-law of tie deceased ; came to the s d witness then hollowed through the key hole, but could get nothe answe rplace; supposing w pp e o n s t ominhgtehr about dec easedsix o'clock wo,aesak, a n asleep she left ; and senger came to her with the news of Mrs. Latson. death witness immediately hurried to the scene of death, and found deceased lying on the bed quite dead. Mr. Latson was present and had evidently been weeping; deceased appeared quite natural ; tlaere was no protusion of the tongue, and no appear ance of convulsions; there r.zs some difficulty between deceased and het husband that morning; did not Tow what it was about; deceased was very jealous of her husband, and has been so for many years, because his business brought him in contact with so many ladies ; deceased wanted him to abandon it ; don't remember that deceased ever threatened to commit suicide in my presence. Caroline Baker deposed as fellows—l live in the same house with deceased ; last evening, just after dark, Dr. Latson came into my room, and, throwing the door open, asked my chil dren where I was; when I saw him his first expression was, "My God, I believe my wife is dead ;" he was crying, and appeared very much frightened; he ran immediately down stairs and took me into a small room where deceased lay ; she was then lying on her back upon the door, perfectly straight ; her arms were crossed, and there was a pillow under her head; she did not look like a dead person ; I did not notice anything peculiar in her appearance ; I think her right hand was closed, I took hold of it ; it was cold and stiff. I asked the doctor what was the matter, and he replied "that she had killed herself." Upon looking round I noticed that there was cotton stuffed in the door and windows; I saw a furnace in the room, but I could not say whether there was any fire in it or not. The doctor picked deceased up and placed her upon the bed ; he requested me to send for a doctor, and I sent fire Dr. Beck. We bathed her in brandy and rubbed her, and appid restora tives, but all in vain. Martha Harris, sister of deceased, deposed to hearing the latter say that she would commit suicide. I kn oll whi c h handwriting, and can identify the following card which was found in the deceased's room, -as being in her handwriting : "Farewell, William. Forgive me for all the trouble I have ganged you ; but recollect your business has drove me crazy, and neiihtr in pity for my body or my soul would you change your ways. lam no thi.efp you could not mean that. Give my things to my dear sister, and pornethiug to Adeline and children." Wm. S. Latson deposes and says: I live here ; I am a dentist ; I am the husband of de ceased ; yesterday I was engaged from noon until six o'clock at my business; the last customer I had wits Mrs. Clayton; she left about six o'clock; it appears to me now that not over twenty-minutes elapsed before I went to the door in the hall leading into the rear room, and finding it locked I came to the door at the end o f the passage leading from this room and burst it open ; I then went ' into the room where deceased laid, and saw her lying on the floor apparently asleep ; a little dog went towards her and I said to him "don't you wake her up ;" I had previously gone down stairs and got a scuttle of coal; I might have waited five or ten minutes in the large room before I went in where she laid ; I then took her by the arm and found it stiff; it made me shafider, and the thought crossed me that she might be dead ; I ran up stairs for Mrs. Baker; we came right down; I picked her up and put her on the bed, and commenced using restora tives, and sent for Dr. Wilson end Dr. Beck; all the restora tives used were without avail ; she was dead ; as I opened the door of the room in which she lay, I observed a suffocative odour of charcoal in the room ; I last saw her alive ahqut two o'clock yesterday afternoon ; she was coming in the doorway on the front stoop; I was at the window of this room ; I spoke with her yesterday morning about ten o'clock ; it might have been as late as eleven o'clock ; had a difficulty with her then; she accused me of having a girl with one wuen I was at Patterso n, New Jersey, ting.at her sister's, which was not the fact; the day previously I went to the drawer and took a purse of money from it and put it in my pocket, and it is to this that she probably refers in the card; for eight years she has been jealous; she has often threatened to kill herself; has attempted it with morphine and quicksilver, &c., several times. Dr. George B. Bouton made a post-mortem examination of the body of deceased, and gave it as his opinion that death was caused by the inhalation of carbonic acid gas, generated by burning charcoal. The cape vo.e then submitted to the jury, who, after due deliberation, rendered a verdict of " Suicide." Deceased was 88 years of age, and was a native of Engi4nd. 300 horses have just passed through Paris, purchased in England for the Piedmontese Government. A WORD FOH THE WOMEN.—We have instanced the decoration of watches and of glass as mere instances in point. The delicate female hand, the most beautiful and pliant instrument in the world, once thoroughly educated, the whole world of design is opened to her, and the field of her labour is almost - boundless. There is scarcely an article of home manufacture in which we have advanced much beyond the rade old Saxon style. Every article of household use, as far as design is concerned, has to be reformed, and will be, as our tastes advance. Why, then, should not the trained female artist hasten to share the work with her brother artist ?—Once a Week. THE COMPOUND EYE OF A BUTTERFLY.—WonderfuI as its structure is, it does not greatly differ from that of many other insects, being like them composed of an im mense number of little lenses set together to form a hemisphere large in comparison with the insect's head. A portion of one of these eyes forms a pretty and inter esting object for the microscope, presenting a honey comb appearance, the hexagonal lines that mark the division of the lenses being most beautifully geometrical and regular in their arrangement. More than seventeen hundred of these lenses have been counted in a single eye, and each of these is considered to possess the quali ties of a complete and independent eye. If this he true, the butterfly may be said to be endowed with at least thirty-four thousand eyes.—British Butterflies, by W. S. Coleman.

Sir,---I am desired to state, on the part of Mr. John C. Heenan, in answer to your report of till.= morning, that neither he nor any person authorised to act for him requested the referee at the late encounter between Sayers and himself to stop the fight when the ring was broken into. On the contrary, he and his friends, nearly all of whom were grouped in a little handful at his corner, repeatedly protested against the invasion of the ropes, and demanded that the fight should not be inter rupted. In proof of this, Heenan breasted his way three Clues through the crowd of persons who poured into the arena from the side of Sayers to renew the combat after t bat outrage had taken place, and who refused to leave the ring, and did not do so until Sayers had been withdrawn. He wishes me to say, moreover, that he feels sure that, had not that occurrence taken place, he would soon have made his victory manifest to the most pre judiced person on .he ground. As to the suggestion which has been kindly made by the Editor of Bell's Life, that Sayers and he should have a Belt apiece be begs to say that, while he will cheerfully subscribe to a new testimonial for his brave and honourable adversary, he will have none other than the one he came 9,000 miles to get, and which he honestly feels be has already won, He believes, however, he can win it again, if required to do so, ana, if it be really amenable to conquest by a stranger, he will not leave your shores until he brings his late contest to a new and due conclusion. On the part of many Americans in London, who have called upon me, we repudiate entirely the idea expressed at the con clusion of your hrticle—namely, that Heenan's American supporters "consent to the contest being considered a drawn battle." They, on the contrary, insist that the tight, if not decided to be already won by Heenan, shall be considered as still pending, and subject to renewal at the earliest possible day. Through a note from the referee, which now lies before me, I learn that he has refused a new arbitrement this week (according to the usual custom), "on the ground of humanity;" but, while the friends of Mr. Heenan cannot bject to such a highly creditable motive, they disclaim for him the requirement of any such consideration, he being quite capable of responding to the orders of the referee, and will so respond at an hour's notice. The friends of Keenan, while they acquit the upright and gallant Sayers and his immediate backers from any participation in the violent interruption of the contest, wish to declare the clearness of Heenan's sup porters from arty complicity with that outraee ; and in this connection desire me to say that when a man in our country who has eneaged to subdue another requires outside help to aid him, as was given to Sayers in the 39th round, he is consi dered to be beaten. In short, whenever "humanity" justifies such interference, the verdict is given against the man whose conquered and hopeless condition requires the practical inter position .f such a sentiment. In conclusion. I wish to say for myself that in the haste of writing my loog report, the battle part of which has been pub lished here in an illustrated extra, a few errors crept in which could not be corrected for that edition, as I had no time allowed me to either revise my manuscript or read its proof. One of those errors was the omission of the word "at " in the last line of one of the closing rounds, when, in speakitig of the conduct of the persons who broke into the ring,' it should read "they kicked at and struck at him," instead of " kicked and struck him." _ _ I send with this a corrected copy of that report, and if you will lay it before the gentleman who prepared your ably- Avrittea account of Wednesday, and he will point out any errors I may have made therein, I will cheerfully correct it for perusal in America. Very truly yours, GEOR £ WlLicEs. Adelphi Hotel, London, April 19. THE FINDING OF THE SAVIOUR IN THE TEMPLE. This painting is by Mr. Holman Hunt, one of the leading painters of the pre-Raphaelite school. As a specimen of that peculiar branch of art we felt inclined to approach it at first sight with more respect that any other production of the kind which has challenged our critical judgment ' • but with the best disposition to bestow upon it all the praise which it deserves we can not admit that it is a picture in the true sense of the word. It is an extraordinary painting, and that is all. It is no more a picture than a most elaborate description of faces, dresses, and furniture, without the slightest impress of the imagination, is a poem. The fact is, it is not the finding of the Saviour in the Temple, because neither sympathy is felt nor sentiment excited when standing before the canvass. The richness of colouring, the variety of fancy portraits, the exact imitation of different stuffs and materials, the skilful rendering of the marble floor, and the gorgeous tints in the trellis of the architecture, may be admired or provoke astonishment, and all culminating in wonder at the patience of the artist, his manipulation, and his beautiful colours ; but no interest whatever in the youthful Saviour, and no perception of the Divine inspiration by which he was enabled to teach the aged and learned men by whom he was surrounded. In short, as far as general effect and religious impression are concerned, the whole scene might just as well be intended to represent an interior where a Jewish festival was being held, and, " not to speak it profanely," the moment chosen when a father and mother had arrived to fetch away their son as too juvenile for such an assembly. The irreverence, if any, is chargeable, not upon us but upon the painter, who has selected a most sacred subject when many others would have answered the purpose for a mere display of much useful drawing, extraordinary finish of details, and splendid colouring. But no more religious feeling is manifested on the part of the artist than if he had been painting and illustrating an ordinary Eastern cere mony. Amid all this perfection of labour there are many very feeble parts—some unreasonable proportions, both as regard the figures in the foreground and those passing in the middle distance. The legs of the youthful Saviour present the most inelegant drawing . in the sub ject, and the face is more vacant in expression than any other head throughout the whole scene, and will not fix more attention, if so much, as the blind eye-balls of the old Jew on the left holding the Laws of Moses. While, however, this painting will rank as a pre-Raphaelite work the artist has availed himself of many of the resources belonging the renaissance period. The general form is naturally semicircular, the separate groups fall into the pyramidal arrangement, and the principal figures are relieved by a broad mass of shadow artistically placed at their back, while a number of white costumes are brought together, and contrasted by the intense colours of the minstrels and cup-bearers behind them, as a balance to the prominent group on the right. Therefore while this work is made remark able by the extreme elaboration of feature, costume, and accessories, and the violent opposition of clear and flat surfaces in the background, it is really indebted to the means afforded by modern rules for intelligible arrage ment and effective combinations ; but even with this union it fails entirely in the highest aims of Christian art—the power of awakening the religious sentiment in the beholders—that fervour of the artist which should so prevade his subject as to excite a sympathy in the minds of real believers, and at the least bear such an indication of his own inspiration and sincerity of pur pose as to arrest the attention of the most indifferent of observers. It is, therefore, not a picture, but a mar vellous specimen of handiwork in colours and drawing, character, and matter of fact. It is lamentable that so much labour should deserve so moderate a degree of praise.—Herald. THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—The sums paid for "indurating or preserving the external stonework and the iron roofs of the Houses of Parliament since the year 1853" were £3,517. Another Neapolitan decree has been issued, effecting important reductions in the import duties on many additional articles. The Gazette says that the new tariff may be seen at the Board of Trade. Our Dukinfield correspondent says that the Dunkirk Colliery Company have during the week given their miners in the Black Mine an advance of twopence in the shilling. CLOSING LETTERS POR THE TROPICS.—Tbe Post office has published a notice to the effect that all letters registered, addressed to China or any country in or beyond the torrid zone, should be sealed with gum or wafer, to avoid the inconvenience occasioned by the melting of the wax. ROCHDALE TOWN HALL.—An adjourned special meeting of the Rochdale Town Council was held the other day, on the subject of purchasing the Wood estate as a site for a town-ball. The council held previously instructed the general purposes committee to make the purchase. The committee had ascertained that the vicar's price for the fee-simple was £ 4 , 730, and now asked "the council to authorise the purchase at the price named, which was agreed to. CHARACTERS TO SERVANTS.—The following obsers vations have been forwarded to us for publication : " The giving a character to a servant is one of the most ordinary communications which a member of society is called on to make, and, as the learned Mr. Starkie observes, is a duty of great importance to the interests of the public ; and in respect of that duty a person offends grievously against the interests of the community in giving a good character where it is not deserved, or against justice and humanity in either injuriously refusing to give a character or in designedly misrepresenting one to the detriment of the individual.' The following rules are suggested for the consideration of masters and mistresses not acquainted • with the law in such cases :—Rule 1. No magistrate has any jurisdictien touching the character of a domestic servant, and the common threat of a master or mistress being summoned for not giving a character is absurd. Rule 2. It has been clearly decided that a character, honestly arid bona fide given by a master or mistress to any person making the usual inquiry, is a privileged communication, and unless inconsistent with truth, or actual malice can be proved by evidence, no damages can be sus tained. But it must be oareltilly borne in mind that, however truly or honestly the character may be given, an action at law can be brought against the muter or mistress, and the ladies of the family put to the anxiety and trouble of appearing in court, as well as the lady to whom the character was given. And, although the ser vant may be immediately defeated, and the case stopped by the judge, you will find yourself some £5O or £6O out of pocket by your victory. Rule 3. The only safe course, when a master or mistress cannot in sincerity and truth recommend a servant, is to decline answer ing any questions on the subject, and the following form of written answer may prove useful :—Mrs. A. presents her compliments to Mrs. 8., and, in reply to her note requesting the character of Ann C--, trusts she will kindly excuse Mrs. A. declining to answer any questions on the subject! Address and date. A copy should be kept. In the case of Carrol v. Bird,' the courts of law have decided that neither master nor mistress is bound to give a character, and that no action will lie against them for refusing. The cases also of Taylor v. Hawkins, and Somerville v. Hawkins, are well worthy of notice. It must, however, be repeated, that both justice an that claim from a muter and mistress their kindest care and consideration for the character of their servants, more particularly female servants; but it is confidently believed that if the above rules were better known, and more generally acted on, all good and honest servants would be the gainers." SPRING AT NEW ORLEANS.—This week has been per fectly delightful—not hot at all, but the air is soft and balmy. It has been a delight just to live and breathe in such an atmosphere. No words can tell the marvels and beauties and splendours of the flowers here. I can only stand still in wonder and rapture. The locusts are white as snow. Oh, the roses! the roses! Away up to the tops of the houses, the bushes and vines are all pink and white with them. Put together all you have heard or read of roses, and the half is not told you. Last evening, just before sunset, we walked over throueh Coliseum-street to Second, Third, and Fourth-streets, and the only thing I could think of to describe some of the gardens we saw, is the passages of "Lalla Rookh," where the poet is describing the " Land of Roses." Between the two houses is a shell road, seventy or eighty feet long. The whole road is covered with a trellis, and that is loaded with jessamine, and pink and white roses, and another vine, which bears a drooping spike, eight or ten inches long, of bright purple flowers. I never saw such a sight in my life. One tenth part of it in Portland would call all the city out to fee it. You will think I am bewitched, and ? really, I do not know but I am. The Cherokee rose is in bloom—five great white petals unfold about a golden centre, in a circle as large as the palm of the band, and these blossoms are thickly clustered on branches ten or fifteen feet long, as the case may be. It looks like a shower of stars, when it runs, as I saw it, up—or rather, peeping according to the appearance, down—a large old tree, throwing out these long feathery sprays.—Extract from a 40(er by a Zady from Prop Orleans, Nardi 27,1860, -- CHOICE CLIPPINGS FROM OUR SCRAP BOOK. O'CONNELL V. THE WIDOW. In Madden's " Revelations of Ireland " we find a whimsical account of a scolding match between the late Dan. O'Connell, then a young man, just called to the bar, and one Biddy Moriarty, an an cient widow, who kept a huxter's stall on one of the quays nearly opposite the Four Courts, and whose powers of abuse were notorious from one end of Dublin to the other. The lingual duella was the result of a wager, O'Connell backing himself to outscold and silence the virago. The result is thus described : The party adjourned to the huater's stall, and there was the owner herself, superintending the sale of her wares—a few loungers and ragged idlers were hanging , round her stall, f or Biddy was a " character, ' and, in her way, was one of the sights of Dublin. O'Connell was very confi dent of success. He had laid an ingenious plan for overcoming her, and, with all the anxiety of an ardent experimentalist, waited to put it into practice. He resolved to open the attack. At this time, O'Connell's own party, and the loungers about the place, formed an audience quite suf ficient to rouse Mrs. Moriarty, on public provo cation, to an exhibition of her powers. O'Connell commenced the attack—" What's the price of this walking-stiA, Mrs—what's-your-name ?" " Moriarty, sir, is my name, and a good one it is ; and what hare you to say agin it ? and one and sixpence is the price of the stick. Troth, it's chape as dirt ; so it is." One and sixpence for a walking-stick ! whew ! why, you are no better than au impostor, to ask eighteenpence for what cost you twopence." "Twopence, your grandmother," replied Mrs Biddy; "do you mane to say that it's chating the people lam ? Impostor, indeed !" " Ay, impostor ; and it's that I call you to your teeth," rejoined O'Connell. " Come, cut your stick, you cantankerous jackanapes." " Keep a civil tongue in your head, you old diagonal," cried O'Connell, calmly. " Stop your jaw, you pug-nosed lodger, or by this and that,' cried Mrs Moriarty, " I'll make you go quicker nor you came." " Don't be in a passion, my old radius ; anger will only wrinkle your beauty." " By the holley, if you say another word of impudence, I'll tau your dirty hide, you bastely common scrub, and sorry I'd be to soil my fists upon your carcase." " Whew! boys, what a passion old Biddy's in ; I protest as I am a gentleman—" " Jintleman ! jintleman ! the like's o' you a jintleman ! Witha, by Gor, that bangs Banagher. Why, you potato-faced pippin-sneezer, where did a Madagascar monkey like you pick enough of commonj Christian dacency to hide your Kerry brogue' ' "Easy, now, easy, now," cried O'Connell, with imperturbable good humour, " don't choke your self with fine language, you old whiskey-drinking parallelogram." " What's that you call me, you murderin' villain ?" roared Mrs Moriarty, stung into fury. " I call you," answered O'Connell, " a paral lelogram ; and a Dublin judge and jury will say that it's no libel to call you so !" " Oeh, tare-an-ouns ! och, holy Biddy! that an honest woman like me should be called a parry lellygram to her face ! I'm none of your parrylellygrams, you rascally gallows-bird, you cowardly, sneaking, plate-licking bliggard!" " Och, not you indeed!" retorted O'Connell ; " why, I suppose you'll deny that you keep a hypotheneuse in your house." " It's a lie for you, you b—y robber. I never had such a thing in my house, you swindling t hafe." " ‘Vhy, sure all your neighbours know very well that you keep not only a hypotheireuse, but that you have two diameters locked up in your garret, and that you go out to walk with them every Sunday, you heartless old heptagon." "Och, hear that, ye saints o' glory! och, sure, there's bad language from a fellow that wants to pass for a jintleman. May the divil fly away with you, you micher from Munster, and make celery sauce of your rotten limbs, you mealy mouthed tub of guts." " Ah, you can't deny the charge, you miserable submaltiple of a duplicate ratio.' " Go rinse your mouth in the Liffey, you nasty tickle-pitcher ; after all the bad words you spake, it ought to be filthier than your face, you dirty chicken of Beelzebub." " Rinse your own mouth, you wicked-minded old polygon—to the deuce I pitch you, you blus tering intersection of ast g superficies." " You saucy tinker's apprentice, if you don't cease your jaw, I'll—," but here she gasped fur breath, unable to hawk up any worse words, for the last volley of O'Connell had nearly knocked the wind out of her. " While I have a tongue I'll abuse you, you most inimitable periphery. Look at her, boys! there she stands—a convicted perpendicular in petticoats ! There's contamination in her cir cuinference, and she trembles with guilt down to the extremities of her corollaries. Ah ! you're found out, you rectilineal antecedent and equian gular old hag! 'Tis with yourself the divil will fly away, you porter-swiping similitude of the bisection of a cortex." Overwhelmed with this torrent of language, Mrs Moriarty was silenced. Catching up a saucepan, she was aiming at O'Connell's head, when he very prudently made a timely retreat. " You have won the wager, O'Connell, here's your bet," cried the gentleman who proposed the con test. O'Connell knew well the use of sound in the vituperation ; and having to deal with an ignorant scold, determined to overcome her in volubility by using all the sesquipedalia verba which occur in Euclid. With these, and a few significant epithets, and a scoffing, impudent demeanour, he, for once, imposed silence on Biddy Moriarty. THE DISCHARGED INDIAN SOLDIERS IN THE LIVERPOOL WORKHOUSE. I think I could have recognised in the dismalest skeleton there, the ghost of a soldier. Some thing of the old air was still latent in the palest shadow of life that I talked to. One emaciated creature, in the strictest literality worn to the bone, lay stretched on his back, looking so like death that I asked one of the doctors if he were not dying, or dead? A few kind words from the doctor, in his ear, and he opened his eyes and smiled—looked in a moment, as if he would have made a salute, if he could. "We shall pull him through, please God," said the doctor. "Plase God, surr, and thank ye," said the patient. " You are much better to day; are you not ?" said the doctor. " Plase God, surr, 'tis the slape I want, surr ; 'tis my breathin' makes the nights so long." "Heis a careful fellow this, you must know," said the doctor, cheerfully ; "it was raining hard when they put him in the open cart to bring him here, and he had the presence of mind to ask to have a sovereign taken out of his pocket that he had there, and a cab engaged. Probably it saved his life." The patient rattled out the skeleton of a laugh, and said, proud of the story. "'Deed, surr, an open cairt was a comical means o' bringin' a dyin' man here, and a clever way to kill him." You might have sworn to him for a soldier when he said it. One thing had perplexed me very much in going from bed to bed. A very signifi cant and cruel thing. I could find no young man, but one. He had attracted my notice, by having got up and dressed himself in his soldier's jacket and trousers, with the intention of sitting by the fire ; but he had found himself too weak, and had crept back to his bed and laid himself down on the outside of it. I could have pro nounced him, alone, to be a young man aged by famine and sickness. As we were standing by the Irish soldier's bed, I mentioned my perplexity to the doctor. He took a board with an inscrip tion on it from the head of the Irishman's bed, and asked me what age I supposed that man to be? I had observed him with attention while talking to him, and answered confidently " Fifty." The doctor, with a pitying glance at the patient, who had dropped into, a stu p or again, but the board back, and said, " Twenty-tour."—Dickens's All the Year Bound. The Vienna students have begun to don coloured caps, and other academic insignia, after the fashion of their more independent brethren in Germany. As the students were the real bone and marrow of the Austrian revolution of 1848, the dangerous innovation was immediately put a stop to by the rector of the University. - A sword of honour ' made by the famous Castellani, has been prepared to be presented, by the people at' Rome, to Victor Emmanuel.: The list of subscriptions contains the names of 14,000 Roman citizens, and the present,is to cost 2,000 crowns. • This under the very nose of Pius IX. and Antonelli ! Another sword is to be presented, we are told, to Louis Napoleon. On the blade of the former is inscribed the tredication — " To the first soldier of Italian independence." THE RIVAL SHOEBLACKS.—At a Court of Aldermen, at which the Lord Mayor presided, a petition was pre sented from a committee of the Ragged School Shoe black Society, and the East London Shoeblack Society, complaining that the boys under the patronage of those societies suffer serious annoyance while pursuing their calling from the behaviour of certain other boys, not belonging to any organised society, and not subject to any rules or discipline, who crowd around the stations occupied by the boys,in the employment of the associ ation, ' deprive them of their customers, often inflict injury upon them by violence, sometimes steal their blacking brushes, and cause annoyance to the public. The object of the memorialists was to ask that protection might be given to their boys by the police, so that they might continue their employment unmolested by the others. Sir R. Carden, in moving that the memorial be referred to a committee, dwelt on the benefits which had arise; from the institution of the ragged-school shoeblack brigades ; and gave his opinion that the boys belonging to them were fully entitled to the protection asked, as to monopoly was sought fur. After a good deal of discussion the motion was acceded to ; Sir R. Carden having stated, in answer to some remarks by Mr. Alderman Hutnphry, that the real reason why the outsiders did not join the societies was because they would not submit themselves to the necessary discipline. It they were willing to do so, he had no doubt they Q l O Ma be &cll.) , recciTed by the c9maiiqees, THE DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1860. RUSSIAN CRITICISM ON ENGLISH SUICIDES. The following amusing paragraph from the Journal de St. Petersbourg will be a proof that the Russians, in their present attempts at acquainting themselves with the state of Euro pean society, and of England especially, do not limit themselves to the contemplation of an Englishman's life, but extend their philosophical critiques even to the variety displayed by him in his choice of death. " The Serpentine (says the Journal de St. Petersbourg) is the great terminus of people intent upon drowning themselves. It is true that the Thames is not altogether unpatronised for this purpose, but it is only chosen by the less resp ec t a bl e classes, and by foreigners not yet acquainted with the ways of the country. This is so perfectly true that nobody is considered as committing suicide unless he gives himself to the waters of the Ser pentine. In this case the corone r ' s j ur y i s sure t o pass a verdict of Felo de se ;' whilst those who have drowned themselves in the Thames lose the honours of self-destruction, and only get a ' place in the sorry chapter of accidents. The latter may, however, insure for themselves the dignity of the first verdict by presciently leaving behind letters in which they announce their intention to commit suicide. The verdict in that case, however, is accompanied by the additional phrase of under mental aberration.' For the rest, suicide is not prone to garrulity in England; people destroy themselves without making it the subject of much previous conversation. Self-murderers in England are in this respect remarkably different from murderers of others, who are wont to commit their thoughts largely to paper both before and after the crime." The topic has a curious interest for Russians, in so far as suicide is a crime almost unknown in that country, a country of misery though it is. The race do not seem to muster the necessary dicision of mind and propose for the execution of serious designs against their own persons. THE AMERICAN BEGGING LETTER IMPOSITION. On Tuesday the stipendiary magistrate of Hull stated that a most respectable family near that town, one of whose members has ✓ lutely been removed by death, received the following epistle, in an envelope hearing American postmarks. The family knew, however, that there was not the least ground for such an application, and took no notice of the letter beyond placing it in the hands of the stipendiary. Other persons in the neighbourhood have not been so sensible, and the clerk to the magistrates stated that he knew one family who had sent out £9O in answer to such applications : " March 24, 1860.—Best and only Friend,—l cannot imagine the reason you have not written and sent the usual remittance, more especially at this moment that poor Tom is dying. Yes, it is with a bursting heart that I tell you your poor son Tom—all that makes life bearable to me— cannot recover. He will soon be taken from me for ever. Why, oh why, then, at this moment of terrible affliction, do you fail me ? Little did I think when years ago I discovered the truth and fled with my Tom—poor fatherless boy—to this distant and strange laud, and that you might be free and happy with those so worthily, so dearly loved, that you would leave him to starve. Yes, I must speak plain, dearest. Tom's sickness, and my inability now to do little more than wait upon him, and your unaccountable silence, has reduced me to the last shilling ; and I shall be compelled, until I hear from you, to sell everything to procure him absolute necessaries. You told me not to write, but what am I to do ? Your failing me at this awful moment has crushed me to the earth, and unless you send the instant you receive this your poor suffering son will be starved to death. will not upbraid you with unkindness. You must have sent. Your good kind heart would not permit him to so dreadfully suffer. I removed here for the benefit of poor dear Tom, but fear it has not done him any good. Therefore, direct as below, and it will be sure to reach me safely ; and prepay the postage, or I shall not be able to obtain it. You must indeed—you must send me immediately £lO or I shall go mad. Send in Bank of England notos, for I am miles away from where I could get other monies changed. Bless you, God bless you. Our prayers are daily offered up fur blessings on you and yours. Farewell, may Heaven's mercy attend us. I regret I must send this to you direct, for the captain's ship is not now in the United States, and if it were I dare not delay an instant. Rest assured that dreadful, indeed, must be our situation that would induce me to write to you against your wish. Send, oh do, I pray yeti, send by return mail, for we are in the most abject want. On my knees I implore you do. The broken hearted and deeply afflicted in her miseries blesses you, bless you. CLARA MOSTYN. Direct Mrs. Clara Mostyn, Brookfield, Fair field Co., Connecticut, U.S. CONVICTION UNDER THE FACTORY ACT. A singular case, resulting in the conviction of Messrs. Ainley and Taylor, manufacturers, of Meltham, near Huddersfield, was heard the other day before J. Brooke, W. Willans, S. W. Haigh, and Charles Brook, Esqrs., at the Huddersfield Police-court. A charge was preferred by Mr. Bates, sub-inspector of factories, to the effect that the defendants, being occupiers of certain mill premises where young persons under the age of 18 were employed, did knowingly obstruct the sub-inspector in the execution of the powers entrusted to him by the act of parliament, by " attempting to conceal and prevent such young persons appearing before the sub-inspec tor to be examined by him." On the 14th of February last, Mr. Bates, accompanied by a police-officer, visited the mill about a quarter to seven in the evening, when all young persons under 18 should have left, and having visited several of the rooms, they arrived at a landing on the second storey of the building, where the inspector perceived three young persons whom he believed to be under the age of 18. Stationing the police-officer at the door, the sub-inspector walked to the far end of the room, where these young people were washing, for the purpose of satisfying himself as' to their age. Before arriving there, however, they had concealed themselves, and could nowhere be seen ; and after a prolonged search in different parts of the room, one of the lads was ultimately found in a very dangerous position beneath a scribbling machine, which was in motion at the time. The lad was dragged out by the heels, and the search for the other parties renewed ; but here an insuperable obstacle was presented by the whole of the gas in the room being turned off, and the inspector and the officer were left in no very safe position among the working machinery. Whilst thus groping their way about, a win dow near where the police officer was stand ing was swung open, and a boy was assisted to get out, being taken charge of when out side by a man on the top of a ladder. The officer attempted to gain the window, but was prevented by stumbling over a quantity of wool, and with difficulty both he and the inspector groped their way in darkness to the lower part of the mill, a light having been repeatedly refused them. They then left the building amidst the hisses of a number of the workpeople. The evi dence for the defence only substantiated these statements, and the magistrates, in inflicting a penalty of £.:5 and the expenses, commented on the conduct of Messrs. Ainley and Taylor in their attempted defence of such proceedings. TIIE NAVY DURING THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS. A return lately published gives us a compre hensive view of the fluctuations which have taken place in our naval force during the last 100 years. In the year 1756 the total number of men borne was 52,809, and the estimated expense £3,349,021 3s. For the next seven years, in consequence of the war with France, we find a vast:increase in the number of seamen, insomuch that in 1762 'the number borne was 84,797, and the estimates for the navy, £5,954,251 12s 9d. Peace being proclaimed in 1764, this vast mass of men was reduced to 20,603, and the navy estimates fell in like proportion to £2,094,800 9s 3d, these numbers being further reduced in 1768 to 15,511 men, and £1,526,357 Os 11d. This is the lowest point ever reached in our naval estimates. On the breaking out of the war with America in July, 1774, they again rose to the sum of £2,104,917 4s 3d, and gradually increased up to the conclusion of the war to £8,063,285 12s 9d, with an increase of 105,443 men. The war of the French Revolution break ing out produced the ordinary effects, and the estimates rose as the funds fell. In 1793, when war was declared, the number of men borne was 59,042, and the estimates £3,971.915 5s 10 ; in the next year they increased to £ . 5,525,331 Ils 3d, with an inereased.list of 83,891 men borne on the books. Stride by stride they advanced until in 1801 they rose to the enormous sum of £16,857,037 Os. 2d., when the number of seamen and marines, was 131,959. After a time came the great war with France from 1803 to 1815, when the naval expenses acid naval strength of the country advanced with gigantic strides, so that for four years, viz., the years 1811-12-13-14, they were always over £20,000,000, and in the latter year reached the enormous sum of £23,504,070 19s. 11d., with a force of 126,414 men, which force, however, was not equal to that of 1813, when our ships was manned by no fewer than 147,047 men. After this, however, the estimates fell to £4,434,783, and provided for only 26,041 men. From that time they have progressively increased up to our own days.

"Suffer little children to come unto me; and forbid them not ; for of such is the kingdom of heaven." They are going—only going— Jesus called them long ago; All the wintry time they're passing Softly as the falling snow. When th: , violets in the spring -time Catch the azure of the sky, They are carried out to slumber, • Sweetly where the violets lie. They are going —only going--- When with summer earth is dressed. In their cold hands holding roses Folded to each silent breast ; When the autumn hangs red banners Out above the harvest sheaves, They are going ---ever going-- Thick and fast, like falling leaves. All along the mighty ages, All adown the solemn time, They have taken up their homeward March to that serener clime, Where the watching, waiting angels Lead them from the shadow dim. To the brightness of His presence Who has called them unto him. They are going—only going— Out of pain and into bliss— Out of sad and sinful weakness Into perfect holiness. Snowy brows---no care shall shade them ; Bright eyes---tears shall never dim; Rosy lips---no time shall fade them; Jesus called them unto him. Little hearts for ever stainless--- Little hands as pure as they-- Little feet by anwels guided Never a forbidden way I They are going, ever going! Leaving many a lonely spot ; But 'tis Jesus who bas called them-- Suffer and forbid them not. SHOPLIFTING BY A GENTLEMAN. ALLEGED LUNACY. Alfred William Jones, a well-dressed, handsome young man, was charged at Bow-street Police court, on Thursday last, with having twelve books in his possession, supposed to be stolen. He was defended by Mr. Lewis, jun. (Lewis and Lewis). Policeman Curley, F 123, deposed.—At about seven o'clock last evening, I was called to a shop in Holywell-street, Strand, where I found the prisoner. The proprietor of the shop, Mr. Hill, told me that the prisoner had been there about one o'clock that day, and had offered for sale three books, which he (Mr. Hill) purchased from him. He gave me the three books, which I now produce. He further stated that after the prisoner had left, Mr. Pether, now present, came in, and identified one of the three books as being his property. The prisoner had now called again with three other books, and Mr. Hill had detained him, and had sent for a constable. I then took the prisoner into custody. He said he knew nothing of any of the books but one, which he pointed out, and which he said he bought in Holborn. I after wards took that book and another to the shop of Mr. Bryant, in Holywell-street, and ho identified them as his property. Tho book which the prisoner said he had bought in Holborn is entitled " The Book of German Songs." After this four books were brought to the station-house by Mr. Green ; one of the books, entitled " Dramatic Reminiscences," has been identified by a bookseller in the Strand as his property. Another book, entitled "An Inquiry into the History and Character of Brahma," I have also found an owner for. Cross-examined.—When I took the prisoner in custody ho appeared strange in the head. I thought he had been drinking. He had £:5 Os 4d in his pocket, and wore a watch and chain, with locket attached, a ring on his finger, and a breast pin. I believe he gave his correct address. Mr. William Hill.—l live in Holywell-street, and am a bookseller carrying on business there. Yesterday the prisoner came to me about one o'clock, and offered these three books for sale. lat first declined, but he pressed me, and as he appeared to be a respectable person, I bought them. I gave him is Cd for them. Ten minutes afterwards one of them, " Whittaker's Pinnock's History of Greece," was claimed by my neighbour, Mr. Pether. At seven o'clock he came again and offered four other books for sale. Two of them were the " Book of German Songs" and the " Life of Gresham," now produced, but I am not sure of the other two. I said I thought it was not all right about the books I had bought in the morning. • He said, " I am a gentleman, and the books are my own." I said he had better wait, and I sent for a con stable. He threw the book down and tried.to rush out, but I stopped him and kept him till the policeman came. - Mr. Pettier, another bookseller in Holywell street, identified the " History of Greece," which was stolen from his shop about 20 minutes before he saw it in that of Mr. Ha The price was 3s. 3d., which is marked in it. Cross-examined.—l have sold a good many copies of this book at various prices, according to the edition, state of the copy, &c. It is quite possible that I may have sold copies of the same edition at the same price, three shillings and threepence, and, if so, it would be marked as that is, but I can swear that is not one that I have sold. I will swear that was the identical copy that was on the stand, and, as you press me„l will speak out. It was there when I saw the prisoner looking in at the window, and, as he looked like a gentleman, I did not watch him. The moment he left I missed the book. After wards 1 asked Mr. Hill if he had bought such a book from a person answering the prisoner's description, and found that he had. I then saw the copy and identified it. Mr. Lewis—Unfortunately, he is unable to tell us anything , about it himself. Mr. Hall—When you say, Mr. Pether, that you will speak out, I must tell you that wherever you are called on to give evidence, it is much better to state the f ac t s f u lly at first. It is always best. Mi.. Green, also a bookseller in Holywell-street, deposed that he bought the four books produced by the constable from the prisoner, at about seven the previous evening, for 2s 6d. A few minutes afterwards he was taken into custody. Cross-examined—l bought the books of the prisoner at the door of the shop of my nephew, Mr. Bryant. Our shops adjoin each other, being part of one house. John Walker, shopman to Mr. Bryant, identi fied the " Book of German Songs," and " Life of Gresham," as his master's property. The priso ner offered four books for sale to him, which he declined to buy. Mr. Green was then sent for, and he purchased the books. After the prisoner had left the shop witness missed two books, " The Life of Gresham" and " German Songs," and a few minutes afterwards he was taken iu custody. • Mr. Holder, a bookseller in the Strand, identi fied the book entitled "Dramatic Reminiscences" as having been stolen from his shop. Mr. Lewis for the defence said that the prisoner, who had for some time been suffering from mental disease, and had been . usually watched with great care, unfortunately went out on that day unobserved. Ile had, however, taken the books, and sold them, under circumstances, and to persons, which clearly showed the wander ing state of his mind. All the persons to whom he offered the. books for sale were in the same street with those from whom they were - stolen ; and, in one case, the two shops were in the same house, and belonging to members of the same family. His father, a medical man, would prove his temporary insanity Mr. Hall—l cannot enter into the question of his state of mind. Mr. Lewis—Certainly not, sir; but my object is to request that in the case where the offence does not proceed from the heart, but from a mental affliction, you will not commit him to prison to await his trial. What is now only a temporary insanity might be confirmed into a permanent lunacy if he is sent to a gaol, as in the event of our proving this before ajury the law would send him to an asylum, and not a prison. I trust you will not consign him to a prison now. I will give bail in any `amount, £l,OOO if necessary ; any amount, in fact, which will satisfy you that he will attend to take his trial. Mr. Jones, the defendant's father, deposed that he had suffered from mental disease for two years. He had disease of the heart, for which he was obliged to take foxglove, the effect of whi c h w a s to bring on the mental complaint. The effect was very similar to that of excessive drink. Mr. Hallcommitted him to the Central Criminal Court, taking his own surities for £2OO and his father's for £2OO for his appearance to take his trial for felony. The Memorial d'Alniens says that General Laraoricare ' has only accepted the command of the Pontifical army upon the express condition that he is never to be called upon to serve against France. The exiled princes of Italy have established them selves on the German shores of Lake Constance.

DISCOVERY OF A NEW GREEN DTE.—" The discovery of a solid green by one of our chemists," says the Sai n t P4/6/ic of Lyons, "excites no little interest here. It has been tried on silks, cottons, and woollens of all kinds, with perfect success. It neither turns blue nor yellow with wear. Chinese green, the only dye hitherto employed, which used to cost 400 f. per kilo., is now selling at 100 E, but the new green can be. sold at and still leave a good profit."
