There was a rumour afloat on Wednesday in Paris, that Count Buol, Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, had tendered his resignation, to be made use of by his Sovereign as a pledge of Peace with France - . This rumour is altogether unsupported by anything which reaches us from Vienna, and is probably . a fabrication of th e speculators. One of the. Incidents which contri buted to bring the price of the Rentes down to its lowest point seems to have been the now con firmed marriage project' between Prince' Napoleon and the Princess Clotilde of Sardinia. Without pretending to any knowledge of what really . _ passes in Louis Napoleon's mind, we may remar that it is, at . least, not impossible that this mar riage project may as well tell the other way-. It depends upon 'this question—whether it is the marriage or the war that is considered at Paris as the essential object. _ We have, by telegraph, an outline of the speech made by the Prince Regent on the opening of the Prussian Legislative Chambers. It is, certainly, a very different and more satisfactory Composition than the speech of Victor Emmanuel, of Piedmont. The first part of it is occupied with matters refer ring to home affairs, for such matters appear to be regarded in Prussia as of primary import ance. The Prince Regent proceeds to say, that no change has taken place in the peaceful relations of Prussia towards foreign countries, and that all friendly connections with the Great Powers remain undisturbed. These are most pacific words, and they pretty clearly intimate that Prussia is not goini , to quarrel with anybody if she can help it. But b the Prince Regent, as might have been expected, asks for increased votes of money, not only to support the Royal dignity, but also to augment the efficiency- of the, naval and military services. The Prince Regent concluded with some inspiriting remarks about the Deputes helping him to carry high that banner upon which are written suth phrases as the observance of the law, the fidelity of the people, and the fear of God. On Tuesday Lord Panmure delivered a speech at the banquet given in honour of the Provost of Brechin. He extolled the old Reform Bill, and gave to it the credit of all the great measures of progress which have been proposed during the lasi twenty-five years. He avowed himself to be a Whig, and explained what he meant by that phrase. Fifteen lives have been lost by the sinking of the Marianne, off Danzic, while in tow of a steamer. We believe that nearly the whole of those drowned were natives or residents of Liverpool. The weekly meeting of the Workhouse Commit tee was held yesterday. The charges against Miss Gillow, the Roman Catholic lady visitor, were again under conversation. No communication was received by the committee from Miss Gillow, in relation to the affair ; but Mr. Whitt, a member of the Select Vestry, attended ostensibly for the purpose of defending her. He denied most emphatically that Miss Gillow had used the words, " damned to all eternity." Ultimately, a commit tee was appointed to investigate the matter. Mr. Thomas Bazley, M.F. for Manchester, has been presented with a piece of silver plate, valued at £4OO, for his services as chairman of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, until the recent amalgamation of that body with the Commercial Association. _ . _ Nugent,, the Dublin printer, charged with publishing a seditious almanack, has been bound over to keep the peace for seven years. Yesterday being the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Blue Coat School, a sermon was preached in St. Peter's Church, on the occasion, by the Bishop of Chester, after which a substantial dinner of roast beef , plum-pudding, and all the etcetras, was supplied to the children in the school. The Mayor also invited a large party to a champagne dejeuner, at the Town Hall. At the meeting of the Health Committee yester day, it was stated by the medical officer, that the deaths last week were 260, being 46 less than in the previous week, but 8 more than the average of the same week in the preceding ten years. Yesterday, the inquest on the bodies of the five persons killed by the falling of a holise in Great George-street was held, and the jury, after hearinc , a mass of evidence, returned a. verdict—" that the deceased had come to their deaths through mis adventure, and that great blame was attached to Mr. Lewis for. not having employed competent workmen." About nine o'clock, yesterday morning, the top floor in the house of .Mr. Lumb, publican, Tithebarn-street, gave way and fell with a fearful crash through several storeys. Several workmen were employed in removing the floor at the time, and we regret to say one man was killed, and another severly wounded. At the meeting of the Toxteth Guardians yesterday, another ridiculous scene occurred between the Chairman and Messrs. Moss, Wilson, &c., &e., in relation to some remarks which the former gentleman made concerning the NORTHERN TIMES, and his correspondence with the Poor-law-board. Several of the members threatened to leave the room, but they ultimately " pocketed" the affront of the Chairman (for they evidently thought it was an affront), and the routine business of the parish was proceeded with. THE TOXTETR GUARDIANS.—It will be observed from a report in our impression, that these gentlemen met yesterday, and performed some pranks, upon which we shall have a few words to say to-morrow. The pressure of local news prevents our offering any comments to day. MR. WILLIAM BROWN'S APPROACHING RESIGNATION OF THE REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE.-At the defamer bven in the Town Hall yesterday afternoon, in honour of the 150th anniversary of the Blue Coat Hospital, Mr. William Brown, M.P., in replying to the toast of the members for the county, took occasion to announce that he has resolved not, after the dissolution of the present Parliament, to hold a seat as a representa tive in the House of Commons. MR. BRIGHT, AND THE REFORMERS OF LIVERPOOI Mr. Bright has declined an invitation, which has been sent to him, to attend a meeting at Liverpool, previous to the opening of the next session, on the subject of Parliamentary Reform. It appears that his time is so fully occupied, that he dare not add to the number of his engagements, and that he has been compelled to decline invitations, from nearly twenty towns, for a similar object, within the last . few weeks. Deeply as the loss will be felt by the Liberal party (that is, by those who have a real title to this appellation), of an opportunity of hearing, from the very highest source, the best information on such a subject, there is still some consol'ation in the reflection, that as the battle of Parliamentary Reform will have to be fought in the House of Commons, under the talented guidance and tutelage of this unequalled protector of the rights and privileges of the masses of the people, every availa ble economy, in the shape of exertion and effort, effected now, will be likely to tell, ultimately, so much the more powerfully in the great arena of debate ; for it is obvious that some prescribed limit must be ob served in the drain on an intellect rich in abundance and ready in performance, and where the bodily framework has proved itself to be scarcely sufficient for the wear and tear of a huge mind. Already, single handed, Mr. Bright has, on the subject of Parliamentary Reform, enlightened the people of England and Scotland; and, as he cannot come to Liverpool, the next best step to be pursued, is for the people to meet amongst them selves to discuss the subject, and to have petitions prepared, ready for presentation on the opening of Parliament. Tho representatives of the town ought also to be made well acquainted with the Views of their constituents, in order that their votes way be rig fitly directed.—Communicated.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1859 THE DAY'S NEWS We have India and China advices to a late date. Th e Nawab of Boudabad had surrendered, and the King of Delhi was on board the Negeara, waiting, it 15 said, for transportation to the Cape of Good ki Pe- Tantia Topee was still at large. Thin Things begin to mend on the Pa ris Bourse, and the prices or the f un ds are now r isi ng. The la s t THE NORTHERN TIMES FRIDAY, ,TANITARY 14, 1859. INDIA -AND-CHINA. We have received, via Trieste, in anticipation of the mail, files of papers from Calcutta to the Bth of Dec., and from Hong Kong to the 30th of Nov. We take the following from the Calcutta Engliamaii of the Bth of December : The principal event which we have to record by the present mail is the surrender, of the Nawab of Banda, who was one of the leading rebel chiefs, .and hitherto successfully escaped all pursuit. The other - rebel chief, Tantia Topee, is still at large, and baffles all efforts of the forces which Lave repeatedly endeavoured to cut off his retreat, although several times it appeared that he could not avoid falling into our hands. From the official intelligence furnished to the press it appears that the operations of the several moveable columns, spread over a large - tract of country,- consisted chiefly in the dispersion of the rebels without any decisive blow being struck, and that in fact there has been a great deal of marching and counter-marching, crossing rivers, and re crossing, and various other movements, the object of which is as unintelligible as the results of them are unsatisfactory. The sentence of traubportation passed some months ago upon his Majesty the ex-Kinc , of Delhi, has at last been carried into effect. The flat which brought the ill-fated king down from Allahabad, arrived a few days ago at Diamond Harbour, where her Majesty's ship Megmra was in readiness to receive the prisoner on board, to con vey him to his final destination. His Majesty was accompanied by two of his wives, and several other mem bers of his family, who follow him in his exile. The party had taken care to provide themselves with every comfort that could be thought of, and evidently bear their misfortunes with true Moslem submission, and in as good spirits as if they were going on a pleasure excursion.. It was industriously circulated (not officially) that he was to be conveyed to Rang oon, but as no possible reason for such a destination could be given, it was generally dis believed, and it gradually oozed out that the Cape of Good Hope was to be honoured with the custody of the aged assassin.

ALLAHABAD, Nov 27.—Sir R. Hamilton reports that the Nawab of Banda arrived in General Mitchell's camp on the evening of the 19th, and that Tantia Topee and Rao Sahib have not gone to Sindwa, but crossed the Bombay road towards Burwanee. The intelligence of the surrender of the Nawab of Banda has just been confirmed by a message, dated 20th November, from General Mitchell's camp. The following intelligence had been received from Lucknow :--" On the 25th, General Grant crossed the river Gogra withbut opposi tion. The enemy, 4,500 strong, fled, losing 100 men and six guns. Our loss, two wounded." ALLAHABAD, 29th November.—The following intelli gence has been supplied by Sir Robert Hamilton, dated Indere' the 28th: Tantia Topee and the rebels have recrossed the Nerbudda near Burda, and are moving towards Amserah. Brigadier Parker crossed the Ner baddah at Mahpore on •the 27th. Captain Herbert and Major Sutherland at Bhakepore. Rebels supposed to have gone towards Khoorsee and Amjessrah. ALLAHABAD, Ist December, 8 p.m.—The following information from Sir Robert Hamilton, dated Indore, 30th November, is forwarded.. The •rebels, after cross in& the Nerbudda, went to Kookassee, and thence to Ah Raipoor. They are going towards Dohund and Guzerat. Brigadier Parke in pursuit. ALLAHABAD, Dec. 4.—The following information is supplied by Sir Robert Hamilton, dated Indore, the 3rd :—" Brigadier Parke surprised the rebels at Cora handipore on the Ist, and killed 300. Rebels dispersed in several directions. The Nawab of Banda arrive 4 at Mhow on the Ist hist.—Englishinan, Dec. 7. CHINA. (From the Overland Friend of China, Nov. 30.) The English mail of the 9th ult., arrived here on the 22nd instant, its forty-fourth day from London. After concluding the arrangement of new regulations for trade, the Earl of Elgin and suite left Shanghae on a voyage up the Yang-tse-kiang. Excepting that the heavier steamers succeeded in getting over the shoals, about forty miles up, within four days after leaving the Wong-poo, we know nothing of the expedition as yet. yr Baron Gros had not signed the regulations for trade to be attached to the French treaty when the last mail was despatched. It is not improbable that his excellency prefers keeping something in connection with these matters for final settlement in the south. Of provincial news we < have not mud?. authentic. There are reports of serious disturbances within a hundred miles of Canton—the only confirmation of them being the difficnity of obtaining certain articles of con sumption, paper, for instance, at the same rates as before. As we did not believe what was told us in Canton, we sent a man to Fatshan, who brotigit back the same story, and this leads us to believe there must be some truth in it. We have nothin; new from Cochin China. Sir John Bowring left this for Manilla in her Majesty's ship Magicienne yesterday. THE KING OF PIEDMONT'S SPEECH. The Piedmontese Gazette gives an account of the opening of the Piedmonteso .Chambers by the King in person. Long before the hour fixed upon, the gates of the Palazzo Madama were besieged ¶ith persons provided with tickets. The gallery, of the first floor, was soon filled with ladies, and the upper gallery with gentle men, while the , members of the diplomatic body, in full uniform, and other distinguished personages, occupied the tribune to the right of the throne. At a quarter past ten the Prince of Piedmont arrived, dressed in the uniform of a colonel of the National Guard, and ac companied by his Royal Highness the Duke of "Aosta. The King left the royal palace at half past ten, accom panied by the Prince of Carignan and a brilliant staff, and was received at the entrance of the Palazzo Madama by the deputation of the two Chambers. His Majesty was loudly.cheered on entering the hall, and, on silence being restored, rea4 the following speech, in a firm Gentlemen of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies,— The new legislature inaugurated a year ago has not de ceived the hopes of the country, nor my expectations. By its enlightened and loyal aid we have overcome the diffi culties which beset our interior and foreign policy, thus strengthening those broad principles of nationality and progress which are the foundation of our free institutions. (Marks of approval.) Continuing in the same direction, you will this year introduce new improvements into the various branches of legislation and public administration. In the course of the preceding session, some bills relat ing to the administration of justice were laid before you. I trust that in taking them again into consideration you will.prOvide for the raOrganisation of the magistracy, the institution of courts of assize, and the revision of the code ofproceedure. You will again be called upon to deliberate upon the reform otthe administration of the communes and provinces. The great interest it awakens will induce you to give the subject your most careful attention. Some modifications of the law on the National Guard will be proposed to you, which, while they leave the foundations of that noble institution untouched, will introduce into it the improvements, suggested by experience, calculated to render its action at all times more efficacious. (Applause.) The commercial crisis, which has not spared cur • country, and the• calamity which has repeatedly film upon our chief staple, have diminished the income of the state, and prevented the hoped-for reali sa ti on o f a com plete balance between the expenditure and the res a me. This will not prevent you from conciliating, in the budget of the common year, the wants of the state with the - principle. of the strictest economy. Gentlemen of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies,— The horizon in which the new year rises is not perfectly serene—(general sensation) —nevertheless, you will resume your parliamentary labours with your accustomed alacrity. Relpng upon the experience of the past, we shall meet the eventualities of the future with resolution. (Loud cheers.) Our country, though small in extent, has acquired credit in the councils of Europe, because it is great ' with regard to the ideas it represents and the sympathy it inspires. 'This condition is not free from danger, since, while we reSpect treaties, we are not insensible to the cry of grief which reaches us from so many parts of Italy. Strong in concord, and confiding in . , our rights, we ' shall await the' decrees of Divine rrovittcllCo with pru dence and resolution. AMERICA. The screw steamer Kangaroo, Captain Jeffrey, which sailed from New York on the Ist inst., passed Cork at noon yesterday. She will probably arrive in. the Mersey about nine o'clock this morning. She brings three days later intelli gence than that received by the Arabia. LOSS OF A LIVERPOOL VESSEL *AND FIFTEEN LIVES. We have melancholy advices , from Danzig. the 10th inst. the Marianne, laden with salt from the G. F. 0. Heyn, of and from Liverpool, whilst in tow of the steamer Hecla, sunk, and the master, custom-house officer, and 13 labourers were drowned.

LIVERPOOL ESTABLISIIMMT FOR NEEDLEWMEN.— We are requested to draw attention to the annual meet ing of this-uistitation, which will be found in our adver tising columns. The benefit of this distressed class of the community, must commend itself to everyphilanthro- d • pic mind and heart, and we hope there will be a large attendance. The Lord Bishop of Chester presides this year, as last Although it is the month of January, 1859, most people admit we are living in hard times, hence it should be the study of every one to ask themselves the question, " How can I save my money ?"

HELENS FLINT GLASS MAKERS.—The whole of the men employed in this branch of trade are still locked oat by the masters. The mens' society state that they have given way to the wishes of the manufacturers as far as they can, consistently with the very existence of the society. The masters, on the other hand, seem de termined to resist any interference of the mens' society, either in regulating the number of apprentices- or in. other matters. Anew feature has arisen in this lock out, which will render.the lock out probably & of long duration. The glass battle makers, who have a very powerful society, have voldriteered to assist the flint glass hands, and are commencing a regular contribution for this purpose. It seems that the cost to the society of the lock out of the flint glass hands will be from £3OO to £4OO a week, as there will be about 600 men out of work. NBIT, COUNTY MA.GISTRATES.—We have much plea sure- in stating that Dr. Kendrick and Geo. Artingstall, Esq., have been placed an the Commission. of the Peace for the county of Lancaster, and at the same time we very heartily congratulate our townsmen on the elevation of these gentlemen to a position so distinguished and honourable.. We were aware of the appointment on Saturday, a letter having been received from the Duke of Montrose, Chancellor of the Duchy, but it was only yesterday morning that the official letters from the Clerks of :the Peace had arrived, and no doubt the gentlemen will qualify next week. The appointment has been made on the:recommendation of Colonel Wilson-Patten, and a number of other gentlemen of the highest -kcal standing, but we believe the Members for the borough and the Town. Council have not been consulted, for obvious reasons. Both gentlemen- are - Conservatives, and, with two exceptions, are the only gentlemen or that political faith appointed for this division for many - years. -- Warrington Guardian. . . . TOXTETH PARK BOARD. OF lIKALTW.-4-A special meet ing of this board was held at the offices, Toxteth-park, on Wednesday, for the purpose of receiving and deciding upon the recommendation of the executive committee (adopted at a meeting reported in our issue of Saturday last), regarding the sewerage of Smithdown-lane, by a special rate on the owners and occupiers of pro perty in that district. The chair was taken by Mr. Al ass, and the other members present were—Messrs. Siddeley, Smith, Walker, Woodhead, Hughes, Boult, Wainvtright, Darsie, and Rogers. Mr. Boult moved that the recommendation be confirmed, which was seconded by Mr. Siddeley. Mr. Hughes moved an amendment, to the 'effect that the sewer, up to the boundary of the workhouse land in Smithdown-lane, be paid for by a general rate on that part of the rural district not already specially rated for such a purpose. Mr. Walker seconded the amendment, which, after a lengthened discussion, was lost by - six to four. The recommendation was carried, and it was resolved that application be made to the Secretary of State for power to borrow £l,lOO for the purpose. This concluded the busines. THE AMPHITHEATRE.—However difficult it may be to cater for_ the public in the shape of musical entertain ments, it affords us great pleasure to know that, under the able management of Elliot Galer, - Mr. Copeland is able to " hold his own" in the carrying out of a "People's Opera." "Martha," nightly becomes more of a fivourite with the public, and deservedly so, for all engaged in its performance exert themselves to the utmost in its spirited success. Under the direction of Herr Meyer Lutz, the orchestra is now becoming tolerably proficient iu the accompaniments, so that we may look upon the present representation of "Martha" to be equal to any of the present time. Lady Henrietta by Miss Fanny Reeves ; Nancy by Madame Bishop ; Lionel by Mr. Elliot Galer; Plunket by - Mr. Borrani ; Sir Tristram Mickleford by Mr. E. Corri, are each well represented, and the music sung with excellent effect. Interspersed throughout the opera will be found the following : " Yes, 'tis love doth cause thy sadness," Miss Fanny Reeves and Madame Bishop ; "Graceful, lovely, charming cousin," Miss Fanny Reeves, Mr. E. Corri, Madame Bishop and chorus ; " A poor pilgrim faint and weary," Mr. E. Galer and Mr. Borrani ; " She appeared clothed in light," Mr. E. Galer ; " Here, in solitude and silence," Miss Fanny Reeves ; " What audacity unheard of," Miss F. Reeves and Madame Bishop. The pleasing airs to which the pieces are sung are sure to make them favonrites with the " People," no less than with the More aristocratic._ who was HISTORIC SOCIETY OF LANCASHIRE AND UHESHIRE.— The usual weekly meeting of this society was held in ' the grand jury-room, St. George's Hall, last evening, Dr. Kendrick, of Warrington ' in the chair. The Secretary acknowledged the following donations : " Journal of the Society of Arts," Nos. 308 to . 318 inclusive, from the Society ; "Journal of the Statistical Society, vol. 21, part 4 ; Condition of Liverpool, Religious and Social, including notices of the state of Education, mlrals, pauperism, and crime, by the Rev. A. Hume, incumbent of the new parish of 'Vaux hall, Liverpool, from the author ; the Lady's and Gentleman's Diary for 1859, from Mr. Wilkinson ; L'Abbovillois, and Le Pilote de la Somme, Fre - ich newspapers for, the 4th instant from M. Boucher de Perthes,; various specimens of the paper money or con ,tinental currency used in America before the Decla ration of Independence, from Mr. A. Wellington Hart. of New York. Amongst the objects of interest exhibited were the following :—Drawing of a curious stone im plement, weighing 25-1-lbs., dated 1607, in his possession, at Warm - 10 . ton, supposed to be used in the manufacture of felt, submitted by the chairman; 'a small figure of Hermaphroditui, in gold, probably Etruscan ; a written paper, being a Latin charm used by a Lancashire farmer,, for the protection of himself and cattle from witchcraft and the evil ; 'pebble's and mortar from the Roman wall in Camp Field, ,Illanchester, from Mr. 'Wilkinson. There were two papers for the evening, one by Mr. Danson, on the population of Lancashire and Cheshire ; and another by Mr. Wilkinson, on "Old Customs and Superstitions." COOL AND DELIBERATE ACT OF THROAT-CUTTING.—A day or two since, a case that excited more than an ordinary degree of interest, prevailed in the locality of gale-street, consequent on a rumour to the effect that a man's throat had been cut ! The rumour proved quite correct, for a man's throat was really cut. However, surgical operations in Liverpool are managed with a degree of scientific skill—and they cut throats, not for the purpose of taking life, but rather for the purpose ofsaving it. The person whose throat was said to have been separated is a well known individual, who, in the course of his professional experience, has cut the heads of several thousand subjects of Queen Victoria, and has drawn blood from some parts of the "human face divine" oftener, perhaps, than the owners of the "face's" desired. The patient had got a tumour on the front of his neck —just at the spot that is com monly called "Adam's apple," but known to anatomists as the " pomma Ademi" and it became necessary to remove this tumour. The surgeon who was called in, in this emergency, happens to be one of the most eminent Caledonians (and• who can surpass them in surgery ?) in Liverpool, and he, vtith a degree of scientific knowledge, and a delicate hand, able to carry out any operation, soon removed the excrescence, to the great ;light of the patient, who, in the exuberance of his relief, cried out, "My throat is cut—my throat is cut !" It was true that it was cut, but it saved his life ! His gratitude to the worthy operator was unbounded, and it was rather remarkable to find the supposed dead man running about the street in great glee, crying out, " my throat is cut ! my throat is cut ! ! "—and this accounts for the rumour of either a murder or a suicide, for the affair was reported both ways. The gratitude of the patient exhibited itself in three feet long, for he presented the operator with no less than a yard long of new patent soap, that is said to possess OW fagulty of shayin without a razor! THE ACCIDENT IN - GREAT GEORGE--STREET. THE INQUEST ON THE BODIES Yesterday, the Coroner, P. F. Curry, Esq., opened an inquest on the bodies of the unfortunate persons who lost their lives in Great George-street. The names of the deceased are—Eliza Murray, aged 48, and Janet Murray, aged 15, her daughter ; Meredith On Jones, one of the shopmen engaged at Mr. Lewis's, aged 23 he was also book-keeper in the house) ; Elizabeth Jones, aged 43, wife of a shipwright, living at 27, Wolfe street, Park, and John. Ellis, labourer, 22 years old, who lived at 65, Fleet-street. The court was crowded froM an early hour in the morning by the friends of 'deceased, and other persons interested in the pm . feedings. A large narnber of jurors , wer and attended. Mr present Aspinall appeared summoned, tical architect should be on tl ingly sworn. The following Willimn Nation (Foreman), John Vim.

Mr. James Thompson, who said, I am ti Mr. Lewis's, establishment, Great George street ; v I am eight years in the 'employment ; one,' with two entrances in Great George-street; the width was about 42 feet; as I think ; the depth of the shop was, I think, 36 feet, There was no crew work be ---A ;. nni n (v. nu - qnd it was commenced about hop was a shop nit° Rathbone-street. Mr. Aspinall said, properly speaking, it was not an addition. The Witness : The old shop was to be taken down, and in that was a new work, then to be added to the other additional part. It was Mr. Lewis's intention to close the old one and carry the new work through to Rathbone-street, and it was announced about three weeks ago to the public that such was to be the case, both by placardls - and advertisements in the papers. I have not a copy, but I can give the words, if you wish. It stated that the goods Were selling at a reduced price, to the nneninfr of the• nlace and durin customers came to 'tie shop for the last few days About three - o'clock I should suppose, on Tuesday, the accident took place. I was just - pessing from one shop to the other at the time. My attention was first drawn to it by a very load noise, like a great weight falling. I made to the door at once bo4re_l observed the falling, and immediately came back, and saw the whole place in ruins. I came back to render assistance, as I knew then what had occurred, and I went back to render assistance. I knew then that the premises had fallen in. The name of the book-keeper was Mcridith Jones. I saw him taken out, but did not see anything fall on him. He was taken from under _ the debris in the cellar to the dead-house. I saw four others taken out—three females, one labouring man and one book-keeper taken out. They were all quite dead, The half of the flooring was all carried down. The shop would have been closed as soon as the end wall would have been taken down. A Juror • What wall ? The old end wall that divided the old and new shops ; it was to have been taken down as far as the top of the shop. The wall was not propped beyond the old beams that supported the floor. Coroner : Who superintended the progress of the work ? Mr. Lewis superintended the whole work himself, but the new building was done by contract, consequently the work had foremen as the contract was had by different parties. There was a foreman over the joiners. Mr. Aspinall said, the new work had nothing to d'o with the present case at all. 'The Witness : There was a foreman over the party that had the contract. Coroner : Who had the charge of taking down the old wall ? Mr. Lewis employed his own men to do it, and instructed them himself. can't say if he employed an architect. I believe he consulted with architects as to the best mode of takin,,, ,, down the wall, but he gave the directions himself. I did not think it was dangerous work myself. Before the building fell in, there might be ten or twelve customers in the shop, but I cannot say. positively. Examined by Mr. Snowball: I heard he consulted an architect. By Mr. Aspinall : The place consisted formerly of two houses, and it was the back part of the northern house that fell; there was a front and back room, and it was the back floor of the third storey that fell , in, and the weight carried all before it. Mr. Lewis was pulling . down the place by- day labourers that he employed himself The men were bricklayers' labourers, and wet accustomed to that sort of work. M spent a great deal of his time in superintending I was from time to time on the building, and was aware of the mode the work was done; I was chiefly in the plane in.the shop where the accident occurred. It never occurred to me that there was anything dangerous, up to less than one minute of the time I was there. I just went to speak to a customer. There. was a wing at each side of the house. These had been taken away previous to the accident. They were taken down the same way as the work was going on. Mr. Lewis and family continued to reside there after the win were taken down. To the Jury : The rooms where Mr. Lewis and family resided in were those that fell. Mr. Lewis was on the premises on the day. He came at nine and remained until half-past eleven o'clock, and instructed, the men to the last moment that he left. I make no doubt had he been there, he would have come down on the falling floor along with the men —ono of the inen who was taking down the wall was killed. Mr. Lewis spent from nine in the morninr , till night with the men. I frequently went for hint to come to his meals ' • he was so anxious about it he often neglected his meals. Mr. Lewis slept in the room that fell in. William Roberts examined : I am a general labourer, and live at 4, Adelaide-place, out. of Blair-street, and was employed by Mr. Lewis, in August last. I had charge of the place, for one thing to take care of it ; I worked myself, and was at work with other four men, who were labourers like myself. We were engaged taking a chimney breast down; master bricklayers were building the inner walls ;_ I assisted generally in whatever was to be done. . We dressed the bricks as we took them down ; instead of taking the bricks into the new place,we dressed them when wo took them down, though Mr. Lewis's orders were to take them into the new place. I recom mended a labourer, named John Ellis, to the place ; he was engaged by Mr. Lewis, on Tuesday morning last. He was an ordinary labourer. I • had been called away when the accident took place (about three o'clock), to take some fixtures to .Parliament-street. I left John Ellis at work on the premises. I re turned in about ten minutes, and it happened before I reached back. I found the premises had fallen in °limy return. I assisted in getting the bodies out. Saw Ellis's body taken out dead. I observed Mr. Lewis, day after day, constantly superintending the work that was going on. He appeared to understand the work, and appeared to be doing all that a man under the circum-. stances could do. I was speaking to Ellis a few minutes before I left; Saw Mr. Lewis from eleven to half-past eleven; with us on the top of the building, and that was the last time I s tw him before the accident, he was then giving directions to us. The last thing he said, was telling us to clear all the bricks off the floor, as soon as possible. Examined by Mr. Aspivall : The orders were obeyed. Mr. Aspinall : Were the bricks cleared off as soon as possible ? No sir. The bricks should have been taken into the new place to be dressed, there were a great quantity of bricks on the floor—they were divided—l can't say what quantity of bricks were on the floor at the time. None of the bricks had been carried away from the time Mr. Lewis left ; the men were dressing the bricks in the old building ; they ought to have been dressed in the new ; the north side of the new building was finished, and we were to take the bricks there ; I had charge of the place, and gave the mon orders to remove the bricks, bat they dtd not do so ; I was called away, and per haps that was why the orders were not obeyed ; all the men heard the orders as well as I did ; Ellis was not a bricklayer's labourer ; I was for a spell, pulling down the wall in the morning before Mr. Lewis came. Three were dressing bricks, and two taking down the coiling. I can't give you any idea of thq quAtti . a bricks eg the floor A 044 time of - the accident. I complained to the other ma that they did not obey Mr. Lewis's orders. I wanted to get the bricks away, afraid that anything might happen. I did not remove any bricks at all. Coroner : What was it you were afraid might happen ? Why the same thing that did happen ; and another thing was, I had Mr. Lewis's orders to do it. To the Jury : Mr. Lewis did not give any reason when he gave the order for the removal of the bricks. The wall taken down was from six to eight feet high. There wag a chimney piece at each side of the wall ; the whole of the bricks were on two floors. I have no idea of the weight: Ido not kilt,* the weight of 1,000 of bricks ; the wall was higher than the A model of the premises was then exhibited to the jury, and the positions of the floors, walls, &e., pointed out to them. , _ _ _ _ James Murray identified his motfier and at the Southern Hospital. Mr. W. Jones, shipwrig ht,. identified the body of Elizabeth Jones, his wife, one• of- the .persons. )frilled, Mr. Aspinall tendered Mr. Lewis for examinat the coroner wished it. Mr. James Newlands, I said: . I first heard of the borOugh , noineert abouty three wallis-street, and immediately Went to the spot, and fonnd the top of the shop had fallen in. Several persons, according ro• the police reports # were underneath. My first attention wa to look to the:protection of the public outside, as Mir• Hewett and the fire brigade, were removing the rubbish I put up strong barricades outside. My attention web called to the insecurity of the wall over the place;., supposed to be. I took on Myself to give directions to prop that part of the building. On examining the condition of the central wall, nine . inches thick, it consisted of two 4 inch independent brick walls, not at all connected, each having a chimney breast. I found on the upper floor, in the room adjoin ing that which gave way, a great quantity of bricks and rubbish, threatening- the same sort of aceident at the south as happened at the north side of the shop. I and I stood by, getting the things done, mifil a quarter io four, when Mr. Rishton came, and I resigned it to him, he being a competent and proper authority. Mr. Nicol was-also-there. - Since tha-oocurrenee, I have made a, lading of the with . brie thin wall, swaying of the chimney breast, hastened its fall. Unless great precautions were taken, the taking.down of the wall was a dangerous work. If the bricks had been shot down at once into the basement of the new building, and dressed there, there would have been less rysk. have hai consider architect of the man er an eir4neer I heard the close of the evidence tged in the work - evidence of the first witness was then read for the witness, and also that of the witness Roberts, and then 'Mr. 'Newlands went on to say) • I do not consider the Men the prop have been employed in such work ;tally unfit if they are of such a character as I heard they were• Such work would require a man who possessed the same knowledge a contractor What opinion would you form of a man employing such men to do such , work?. ,ion, as man Ellis was not taking - doin the wall,, but was dressing bricks. Mr Newlands was then cross-examined by Mr. Aspinall: If qualified men were taking down the wall, it would not make any matter who dressed the bricks. If the bricks were taken away, according to Mr. Lewis's order, it would not have been so dangerous. I h a ve had no opportunity of knowing what competency 31r. Lewis possesses in such a matter. . . The Jury were of opinion that the question objected to by Mr. Aspinall,.should be put to. Mr, Newlands. The witness, Roberts, was re-called, and said : I had the order to take down the wall, but deceased, Ellis, w only dressing bricks, but the men in hospital pulled doff' the wall. Mr. Lewis gave us all instructions to remove the bricks. Mr. Aspinall again offered Mr. Lewis for examination• The Coroner said he did not see any objection to hags him examined, first cautioning him. Mr. Edward Lewis was then examined. He said I am the proprietor of the establishment in Great George" . street. In August last, I began making alterations to extend the shop to Rathbone-street. I had plans pre pared by an architect. The new work is nearly complete up to the wall of the old shop• The last beam, of the new work was put into the gallery, and rested against the old wall —S wedge between it and the wall—so they were a mutual support to each other. I superintended the work as it progressed, so far as to be there present to se e that there was no accident. Mr. Millar is a bricklayer, and worked with his Men on the new work. I took the walls dose myself, after the best mode that had been adopted by advice, and before any was taken down, W C consulted, and the mode adopted was successful ill all the other floors. Ido not throw any responsibility whatever on Mr. Millar; we agreed on the best plans and followed that plan. There were five men on the building that morning : two were employed to take down the wall, and both said they were bricklay er -l a b oure rs one said -- he was accustomed to pull down walls for years, and offered to do the whole for a certain sum of money; two of the other men were employed cleaning bricks as they were taken down; the fifth was employed pulling &win the ceiling ; he had a general superintendence. I gave strict orders that the bricks should be taken down and dressed in the new building' , and this was done in eight floors before in the two wings. One of the men had been employed by a M r . Edwards, who was emp'oyed by the corporation, carting sand. 110 said he was a contractor for pulling down, and offered to pull the wall down. I said he had been a carter, and he said "Yes, whilst he was out of employment, but that he was employed for years taking down old buildings. To the jury, I would not allow them to do the work in the dark, and the man came at nine in the morning. I gave them special directions to remove the bricks as soon as the bricks were taken from the wall I said, " Men, you must move all these brie floor to the new buildin more." I gave MN s off the I had not the and I walked aerc down anY test apprehension of any d an ger, ;he room at half-past eleven o'clock, and I used particular caution with the men every day. Mr. William Eishton, town-surveyor, examined : heard of the accident at a quarter to four; and went there, and rendered all the assistance I could in removing the bodies, &c. I have made a careful .survey of the place since. I have heard the evidence of Mr. Newlands, and agree generally with him as to the proximate cause of the accident ; I have heard the evidence of Mr. Lewis, and the orders given by him as to . the taking . down of the wall, and I think, if his orders were attended to the accident would not, in my opinion, have taken place. To the Jury : Any practical man would be cautious--; the men used no caution at all, for if they had obeyed the_orders, of Mr. Lewis, it would not ha ve happened. To Mr. Aspinall : It would not require 'any skill to hare obeyed Mr. Lc.:wis!s orders, but if they had any skill they would not have eudanzered th ing as they did. To the Jury : Tip mn lives by -work- m ai to the iOl prudence of the way in which the work was done. To Mr. Aspinalt : My aisi4tant looked after the work► and never-reported anything wrong to m 3 of it. I must do the justice to Mr. Lewis to say that he frequently came to my offi3e to consult me on the subject, and was, always anxious to do what was.. right with the authorities, Mr. - Lewis, in reply to Mr. Aspinall applied for liberty to put up a barricade. I he had - Mr. Nicholl, a - builder, lia with Mr. Newlands and Mr. Rishton. Mr. Rishton bore testimony to the to him by Mr. Nicholl, surgeon.

He then referred to the evidence of the pro" fessional gentlemen, and contended that if the orders of :fir• Lewis had been carried out, the accident would not have taken place. They were not to try why Mr. Lewis did not think it proper to employ an architect or a builder, but if he were culpable and criminally culpable for the accident• He said no man could more lament the circumstance than Mr. Lewis, and if a verdict of the jury sent him for trial on a charge of manslaughter, it would, perhaps, prevent him from doing towards the friends of the deceased what he intended to do. in the The Coroner then addressed the jury. - He did not agree with Mr. Aspinall as to the summoning of arch'' tects on the jury. lie was of opinion they would m 3ko, very good Jurors.
