WEST DERBY GUARDIANS. The weekly meeting of this board of guardians was held yesterday, at the board-room, Everton; Heyes presided. The other guardians present were --Messrs. H. Edwards, Ledger, 'Whitby, Richmond, - Wareham, Jefferies, Medcalf, Roberts, and Pilling. UNION STATISTICS. From the report of the Master of the Workhouse, it tippeared that the number of paupers in the house was, last week, 304, since when 21 had been admitted, 15 discharged, and 2 deaths, leaving this week 308 ; for the corresponding week of last year the number was 269. Cheques to the amount of £165 were toted for the maintenance of the out-door poor within the Union. THE ASSISTANT-MASTER. The resignation of this officer, Mr. Taylor, was accepted, he having expressed a wish to go to his father, who is the anaster of another union, to render him assistance, but expressed a hope that the guardians would still keep him in view. Mr. LEDGER suggested the appointment of an out door assistant-master, at a weekly salary of 355. ; and also gave notice that, after the sanction of the Poor-law Board had been obtained, he should move the appoint ment of Mr. Roberts, who was then assisting the governor in the making up of the books. After some conversation, however, no specific motion Was made, and the subject was allowed to stand over. THE ASYLUMS COMMITTEE. This Committee reported that they had visited the 'asylums in which there were pauper lunatics belonging to the union. At Lancaster there were 8 males, and 3 females; at Rainhill, 14 males and 81 females; and at Ilaydock, 12 males, and 5 females ; total, 34 males, and .3 9 females. This committee also reported that they had seen that some of the patients were only imbecile - and harmless, and, therefore, requested that when the visiting committee took into consideration the alterations 'of the workhouse, that they would take especial care to make accommodation for such paupers, as it would be a 'great saving to the Union. Mr. ROBERTS having expressed a hope that the 'recommendation would be entertained, the report was 'adopted, and the expenses of the committee ordered to be paid. THE LATE CHARGES AGAINST THE GOVERNOR. A letter was read from Mr'. R. Banner, accountant, 2 ;questing the payment of eight guineas, for the recent investigation of the accounts. Mr. LEDGER —Of course it must be paid, but it is abominable that we should be put to such an expense, 'when there was no truth in the charges. Mr. WHITBY—Who caused the expense ? Mr. EDWARDS—Mr. Smith, to be sure. XT. ROBERTS—Then he ought to pay tt out of his c'Tfli pocket. I believe he did promise to give £5 towards it, but we shall never get it from him. - The CHAIRMAN—I think the township that sent him to this board should pay the whole amount for sending Inith a fellow here. "4 THE LATE CHLOROFORM CASE. Mr. EDWARDS—I do really think that this board 1 2.ectld reimburse Mr. Gough for the expense he has bees put to by the late inquest. It has cost him upwards 4) t . £3O. A GUARDIAN—Whose fault was it Mr. EDWARDS—Why, Messrs. Shaw and Smith's, to to sure. I move that we pay Mr. Gough £3O. Mr. LEDGER—I do most cordially second that pro position. Mr. Wurrsy—You cannot do it without giving a 'week's notice. Mr. LEDGER—IS it SO ? The LAW-CLERIC—It , is ; and if it was voted, it 'would be struck out by the poor-law auditor. 34 . r. LEDGER—I do think it most shameful that Mr. Qougit should have been put to such an expense when There was not the slightest reason for it, and every Charg e that has been made against him has fallen to the ground. After some further conversation, Xr. LEDGER moved it as a recommendation to the 7 ißitiug Committee, that they should consider and report as to the best means to be taken by the board to re imburse the governor the unnecessary expense which has 'been entailed upon him by the recent conduct of Messrs. Zsaitb. and Shaw, by causing the late inquest to be held. This was unanimously adopted, and a general wish seemed to prevail at the board that some steps would be taken to carry out the wishes of those present. At a subsequent stage of the proceedings, Mr. R. ikon for Warded a letter, which was read, on this in quest, in which he stated the reason why he did not at first give a certificate of death was, to hear from the coroner who had been consulted, and who thought that an inquest was unnecessary. After receiving such a reply, he did so. ALTERATIONS IN THE WORKHOUSE, Plans and specifications of the proposed alterations and improvements in the interior of the present workhouse were laid upon the table, as also a report from the archi tect, Mr. Culshaw, who estimated that the cost would be f rom £250 to £3OO, and ordered to be sent to the Poor law Board for their approval. There being no farther business, the board adjourned LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) MURDEROUS ASSAULT. Tomas Fox was brought up on remand, charged with hating e ° witted a murderous assault on a fem ale in Thurlow-street. ~ appeared that a week since the prisoner was in a. house in "e street named, when a female, named Elizabeth Mathews, 'ante in.

The prospects of the harvest are beginning to exercise an influence on the freight market, and there is a large demand for grain ships froth the Mediterranean and Black Sea. Although the arrival of grain and flour during July was large, the totals of Wheat and Wheaten Flour taken during the first seven months of the year are more than 20 per cent. lower than those from January to July in 1859, and also in 1858. It is presumed, therefore, that the large home stocks consequent upon recent good har vests, have been considerably diminished. Cotton exports : More than half the increased exports of July has been from cotton goods, the shipment of which exceeded by nearly a million the exports of July 1858. Notwithstanding the very unfavourable accounts from the Indian markets the shipment of cotton to the British East Indies were £1,200,045 in July, against £1,091,651 last year, and £723,338 in 1858. The Right Hon. Milner Gibson has left town for Suffolk. The Right Hon. W.

The prisoner was remanded. LIVERPOOL BOROUGH SESSIONS.

SCOTLAND WARD. ----- The first application in this ward was for Jane Prestwich, who applied, through Mr. Clarke Aspinall, for a license for a house at No. 54, Athol-street, corner of Paget-street. John Beattie made application for a house at the corner of Athol-street and Beacon-street. Mr. Bremner supported. There was no opposition. Mt. Aspinall (barrister) applied for a license for Mr. Thos. Watson, of No. 63, Bevington-hill. In reference to this case, Mr. Bremner stated that at the application last year he made an observation about the schoolmaster being abroad. He thought it but justice to Mr. Watson to state that he did not make that observation with any view of throwing discredit upon Mr. Watson's character. Joseph Paxton applied for a license for his house at No. 36, Boundary-street, corner of Townsend-street. There was no opposition in this case. Edward Billinge Killey applied for a license for No. 40, Cranmer-street. Edward Roberts made application - for a license for the house No. 6, Maddox-street. ' Lucy Wilkie, supported by Mr. Clarke Aspiaall, applied for a license for No. 25, Regent-road ; there was no opposition. Hugh Lewis applied for a license for No. 398, Scotland-road, corner of Taliesin•street ; and James Munro, for a license for his house at 61, Tatlock street. Of these nine applications, the magistrates granted lat of Thomas Watson. VAUXHALL WARD, There were three applications for licenses in this ward •—John Lloyd. 15, Gardner's-row ; William Cliffe, 32, 'Saylor-street ; John Ferguson, 2, Punapfield-street. The last of these applicants had been three times fined and five times summoned. ST. PAUL'S WARD. There were three applications for this ward also : David Henderson, 43, Denison-street ; Henry King, 80, Leeds-street ; and John Wilson. 17, Marybone. None of these presented any features of general inteiest EXCHANGE WARD. Mr. Wm. Preston applied for a license for his refreshment rooms situated in Dale-street, at the corner of Hackin's-hey. Mr. Bretherton supported the applicant and Mr. Bremner opposed. Mr. Bretherton, in opening the case, said that he knew what the great objection was which swould be brought forward by the opponents. They would say that the neighbour hood swarms with similar houses. But this would always be the ease ; and if the community demanded that it should be so, their wants should be first attended to. If that fact was recognised, and if the public convenience was to be attended to, opposition or objection would be useless. They were all so well acquainted with the house that he would not trouble them with a description, but deal at once with the argument he expected to be brought forward by the other side. If they found that the wants of the public have called forth a certain class of houses—refreshment houses—and that the public appre ciated and supported those places, the argument that there was already a great number of similar establishments fell to the ground. This house was essentially a refreshment house, and the bench had considered it to be a fit and proper one by granting it aeannwts license n t e i nldi directly,ci e n c s t e. ltyh .e And T r h i d ha, de a n t n h li o yn ufitghuhei thing gc h ee theyobench tai d n i td d o g n o no t dr g r db a r e. gs t p.d h t a sot t gr was that they should not improperly throw a temptation in the way of the public, so as to demoralise them. Whether the man could make a good profit or not out of the house was not the question ; that was the man's own business, lie would tell the magistrates that refreshment-houses had conferred great benefit upon the public. He could remember the time when a man could not get a good dinner in town for less than five or six shillings, whereas he could now get it for one or two. Two years ago there was a Confectioner in Lerd-street, (next door to the Journal-office,) to whom the magistrates granted a license, and now, if they would go into that place .at any hour of the day they chose, they would find it crowded with lathes and gentlemen—the most respectable inhabitants of the town. That had been the result in one case, and why should it not be so in this instance? The present applicant had good premises, a good situation, good capabili ties, and everything to recommend him. If the house failed of success after the license was obtained, the weight would fall only upon the shoulders of Mr. PreSton; the moment that gentleman ceased to cater for the public, that moment would they cease to support him. He conclltled by assuring the bench, that if the license were granted, it would add greatly to the convenience of those who reside in the neighbourhood. Mr. Bremner said he appeared for several r, spectable resi dents of the neighbourhood. Mr. Preston, the applicant, in cross-examination, stated that he was a partner in a brewery. With their brewery, they had leased five or six public-houses. He had now leases for two place , which had been sold to the corporation. He held the lease for the house No. 11, Mersey-street, and had taken up two leases for Ed. ard Hughes. He had made three applications for remov ing licenses to the premises now in question, and had been refused. On the first occasion his house was not finished; the second time the application was not upon its merits ; and the third time, there was a technical objection raised upon the other side. Mr. Bremner, in addressing the bench, said he proposed to put his objection on two grounds. In the first place he would submit that they should not grant the license, and in the second place they could not grant it. He remelt), bered that last year, as at present, both Mr. Bretherton and Mr. Clarke Aspinall appeared on behalf of the applicant Mr. Bretherton : I never spoke at the last application.---Mr. Aspinall I believe that it was Mr. Bremner who supported me on one of the applications. (Laughter.)---Mr. Bremner, continuing, said his friend (Mr. Aspinall) was mistaken. Mr. Bremner then read a memoria l si g ned by some of the resid of the neighbourhood, and amongst the rest by Mr. Atidley (who instructed Mr. Bremner upon this occasion). It had been said that Mr. Preston, if he did not get the license now, would keep on applying for it until he did get it; but, he felt sure that the bench would not be influenced in any measure by that. Here was a number, of gentlemen, owning nearly a quarter of a million a property in the neighbourhood, who came forward and opposed it. He could show that the place swarmed with public-houses, and that within a radius of eightyefive yards there were no less than thirteen public-houses. The applicants were Messrs. Robinson & Preston, and they had told tite bench that they already owned five public-houses, and had a grant Air two houses which they that not occupy, but had said to the Corporation. For these two licenses they would be privileged to ask the bench for a removal to some other houses. He contended that, in the second place, they could not grant this license without doing injustice to others. Last year an application was made for a licence for premises whirl, compared to these, were far supe rior ; they were situated under the Liverpool and London Fire Insurance Company's office, and occupied by Mr. Child. Mr. Aspinall applied for a license for that place, upon the same grounds as he now applied for Mr. Preston. The bench refused the application of Mr. Child, and upon the same grounds they must refuse the application of Mr. Preston. Several other parties had also been refused, because they were partners in, or intimately connected with, other licensed places, and ae such was the case with Mr. Preston, it would not be just to aece.de to his request. Mr. Audley was then called into the box. ILe said he was a tenant in Atherton-buildings, next door to Mr. Preston's premises. Mr. Allen, one of the persons who had signed the opposing memorial, was a publi can. The witness had not paid Mr. Breroter ; Mr. Allen had gone with him to Mr. Bremner's office, but he did not go up stairs ; he stopped below. Mr. Bretherton, in reply, cote nmnte d w tt h p i o; w the a e s xtraordinary nature of Mr. Bremner's oppo sition,'eighbourhood„end in which, got up by some publican in the which, therefore, they could not attach c e e l l ht se . wo T u h ld e gr ten ea c t l q. o lle d St em io o n ra w h a .s s e s w o h ci e .e t t h y er in th th e at gr p ar art itin o g f m of u t c h h e W li the town.

Jam es Glover made application for a license for a house ed by Mr. Bremner (who appeared on behalf of Mr. Edward Jane Williams applied or a hcense for a house in Preston athoe cangi o f Fouteno y - street and Adlington-street. He was psowen). Preston street, in lieu of a licensed house in ST. PETER'S WARD. there were three applications ; from Mr. John t ward igate, fir. Joseph Heath, and Mr. Joseph Moore Allen. A on behalf of Mr. Heath (proprietor Mr. Bretherton of the Colosseum), fora license at the corner of Paradise street and School-lane. Mr. Bremner opposed. Mr. Bretber ton said the pi emises for w hich he had to apply for a license had no connection with the C olosseum. He would be able to such would sl}ow that the character of the applicant was time the h Colosseum s warrant them in granting it. During h had been oisened upwards of two millions of persons had visited it, and he would appeal to th e p olice officers as to the m way in which it had been conducted. .-r• Heath had been for more than 20 years a licensed victualleT in Manche ster, and in tu for the last 15 years of that time he nev er openedhis house same orderly igiclaYs. He had conducted the Colosseum e orderly manner, and there had never been a s i ng le complaint against it. Mr. Heath bad the power to set, spirits within the theatre, yet he never put forth any inducement for persons to buy them, and his sate was, consequently , very small. The principal drinks which ha sold have been soda water ' and singer beer. For the last twelve months the houses that had been drawn were tremendous, equal to the London houses, and the entertainments had been thoroughly first-class. The p!,iblis understood and appreciated such a class of entertainments, and they had supported Mr. Heath. The place was nightly attended by about 1,500 persons. Such a large number of visitors required refreshments, and it was to provide for this that the license was applied for. If suc cessful in his application, Mr. Heath would eleae the place i ns ide the theatre altogether. He (Mr. Bretherton) inyited p;rner, or any other magistrate, to visit the Colosseum, ifften tn e y would see the excellent order and regularity with w hich it vas IMged. Mr. Bremner said he had no sbjectiOn to the manner in which the Colosseum was conducted, but the object to the license. Inspector gentlemenfor Carlyle w h s o a m i d hehappearede* knew th did Colosseum to be well con conducted. Prostitutes were not admitted; am w&ienever he viLlted it he found it orderly and regular. ,Fi ere .,w,As only one application for Pitt-street Ward, from Mr. a house in New W a p p i ng.

Counihan, 102, Mount-pleasant. CORONER'S COURT. The following inquests were held yesterday : On the body of Bridget Parry, who died in the prison at Walton suddenly. On the investigation it appeared that death was the result of consumption, from natural causes. Verdict accordingly.

Barclay, Prin cipal 9f tbe' University of Glasgow, officiated. It being Sunday his Royal Highness the Prince Consort's birthday was celebrated quite privately. Princess Helena, Sir Chariles and Lady Phipps, Sir James Clark, and Mr. Helps, were the additions to the dinner party. Mr. Helps arrived in the castle yesterday afternoon to attend a Privy Council to be held this morning. PROSECUTION OF LOTTERY KEEPERS AT ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE. At the Salford hundred intermediate sessions, Tues day, James Crawshaw, shopkeeper ; Isaac Armistead, hair-dresser ; and Joseph Bottomley, John Jones, and James Whitehead, beerhouse keepers, were charged with unlawfully keeping lottery offices, at Ashton-under- Lyne. The case against James Crawshaw was taken first. Mr. Fernley and Mr. Holker appeared for the prosecution, and Dr. Wheeler, Q.C. and Mr. Kay for the defence.—Mr. Fernley stated to the jury that the prosecution was instituted under the Lottery and Bet tin. Acts. An Act of Parliament passed in the 10th and 11th William 111. chapter 17, cited the mischief which it was intended to prevent, namely, the unjust and fraudulent getting of money by evil disposed per sons from children and servants, and the unwary, to their utter ruin ; and it declared such lotteries to be public nuisances, and contrary to law. It was found, however, that amendments to this act were necessary, and the Act 42nd George 111. cap. 119, was passed, to include such kinds of. lotteries as had been then established, in order to evade the previous acts. The 16th and 17th Victoria, cap. 119, commonly called the Betting , Act, was intended to do away with the nuisance car ried on by the opening of betting houses or offices for the purpose of allowing people to carry on the trade of betting. There could be no doubt that these acts applied to this particular case. The defendant Crawsha w kept an eating-house at Ashton-under-Lyne, and for some time had been in the habit of selling tickets, called by the names of different clubs. On the 28th July, John Preston, a police-officer, went in plain clothes, by the directions of his superintendent, to the shop of the defendant, and asked for a horse ticket. The defendant and his wife were both in the shop. The latter served him with a " Great Eastern Weekly gallot " tic►iet, for which be paid ls. ; and afterwards he bought a list of the winning numbers, for which he paid a half-penny. He found he held a winning number,"and that the prize was ss. The defendant a day or two afterwards paid him 4s. 10d. ; and on being told that it should be 6s. he merely laughed, and no more notice was taken.. of the circumstance. On the 30th July, Preston again bought another ticket, but did not win a prize. This was the evidence for the prosecution ; except that some bills which were. found in the defendant's shdp were put in, together with the ticket which Preston bought. One bill had reference to Ratcliffe races, the others were in reference to money clubs, the prizes of which varied from 12 10s. to £lo.—Dr. Wheeler, for the defence, submitted that there was no case to go to the Jury. He argued, at grea tlength, that under the act of William 111. proceed ings could not be taken by indictment; and that there was no evidence given to show that the defendant ke pt an illegal house, according to the terms of the Betting Act. —The Chairman said he would reserve the point raised as to an indictment under the act of William 111. ; but, with regard to the point in reference to the Betting Act, he thought the present case came directly within the words of the act, that, "no house shall be used for the pnrpose of money or rug valuable things being re ceived by, or on behalf of, the occupier, in consideration of any assurance, undertaking, promise, or agreement, expressed or implied, to pay or give any money or valuable thing in any contingency relating to any game, &c."—Dr. Wheeler then addressed the jury. —The Chairman, in summing up, said that a lottery was a game, according to the act of Parliament ; and he put the following questions to the jury :—First, whether there had been a lottery ; and secondly, whether the defendant had been guilty of setting up, keeping, or maintaining the lottery. The jury found the prisoner guilty, but recommended him to mercy because he might not have known that he was acting contrary to law. Dr. Wheeler claimed this verdict for the defend ant. The chairman said he would reserve that point with the other for a higher court ; and, in the mean time, the defendant would have to enter into his own reeognisances in 420, and find two other sureties of £lO each, to appear for judgment when called upon. The cases against the other defendants were adjourned, their bail in the meantime being enlarged. The chairman said that the court strongly wished the points raised to be decided by a higher court. The defendants under took not to carry on the drawings whilst the cases were under consideration. "A WIFE'S JUSTIFICATION"—The .LYezt , York Tri- Lune publishes a long letter purporting to emanate from Mrs. Gurney, who some time ago eloped with a servant of her husband, Mr. Gurney, M.P. We shall do no more at present than merely mark its publication, for the letter carries with it indubitable evidence of being a mere Yankee fabrication, and it makes statements of family matters of a kind that a respectable English journal usually excludes from its columns, unless they are made upon oath, in a Court of law. CRUELTY TO A CAT.—At the Lambeth Police-offic e , on Tuesday, Robert Search, the son of a butcher i n King's-place, Walworth-road, attended, for the second time, to answer to a summons charging him With grossly and wilfully torturing a cat. The witnesses called in support of the summons proved a case of bar barous cruelty. They swore that on the day mentioned in the summons, the defendant caught a " stray " kitten, cut holes in its ears, through which he passed strings, and hung it up by the latter, so that all its weight was supported by those parts of the ears through which the strings had been put. This, however, was not all. The defendant poured " turps," or turpentine, d own its ears and different parts of the body, so that the. poor little brute screamed piteously from torture and agony. When allowed to run away, it fell into the hands of a respectable woman, who treated it w i th such kindness and humanity that, notwithstandin g the brutal nature of its tortures, the kitten has recovered. Mr. Dickson, one of the ushers, described the stat e of the unfortunate kitten to be such, when the summ ons was applied for, that the magistrate recommended it s destruction, to put it out of its misery. Witnesses were called on the part of the defendant, whose testimony contradicted some of the stronger portions of th e c h arge, and Mr. Norton, in passing sentence, observed h e was glad that it had been so, or he should have felt it to be his duty to send the defendant to prison without a penalty. There could be no doubt, however, that im proper cruelty had been exercised, and for this the defendant must pay a penalty of 20s. The fine was at once paid. SELF -MUTILATION AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE At the Thames Police-office, on Tuesday, John Dansie, a short, broad-shouldered Klan of florid complexion, forty nine years of age, was charged with attempting to com mit suicide, and mutilating himself in a very extra ordinary manner. Edward Stewart, a police-constable, No. 319 K, said that on Sunday, the 29th of last month, at half-past nine o'clock at night, he saw the prisoner coming out of a field abutting on the Barking-road, opposite the north wall of the East India Dock, an d asked him what he had been doing there. The prisoner said he had been sleeping in the field, and that he was drenched to the skin. There had been a violent thun derstorm, and it had rained heavily the same night. Th e prisoner was very wet, and the water was dripping f rom his clothes. He told the prisoner he must have been drinking heavily, and was very foolish to remain i n t h e field so long. IJe also advised the prisoner to go hom e , change his clothes, and go to bed. The prisoner said, " Yes, J am going," and left him. About an hour afterwards he met the prisoner again near the same place, and in a worse plight than he was in before. Th e prisoner said, " I h ave thrown a stone through that light," and pointed to a broken gas-lamp on the road. g e asked the prisoner why he had done so, to which he replied, " Oh, it is a useless lamp—there are too many light s ? The prisoner as he said this staggered a good deal, and he observed to him again, " Why, you have been drinking." The prisoner said, " No, it is a loss of blood." He asked him how that was caused, and the prisoner, who stared wildly and was very weak, said, " I went mad on Friday night, and lay down in the field and cut my throat." At that time he was passing under a gas-lamp, and he observed that the prisoner's throat was cut. He asked the prisoner why he had committed such a rash and wicked act. The prisoner said, " I hardly know why I did it ; I went mad ; it was through my wife ; she promised to meet me and tell me where she had got a fresh lodging, and she did not come as promised, and I then went into the field and fell asleep, and when I awoke I saw people staring about me, and they made me cut my throat. 4s soon as I had done that they vanished like shadows." Witness then took the prisoner to Poplar stationhouse and sent for Mr. Robin son, the divisional surgeon of police. lie then noticed that the prisoner's trousers and shoes were saturated with blood, and he asked him if he had inflicted auy other wound on himself. The prisoner said "Yes, I have," and described how he had wounded himself. The constable gave further evidence of the horrible manner in which the prisoner had mutilated himself, and the hsemorrhage which had taken place ig consequence. Ile searched the prisoner and found upon him a large clasp knife. The blade was stained with blood and much worn. The edge was dull. The prisoner said, " Yes, that's the knife ; that's it. It is not much of a thing. If I had a sharp knife I should have cut my head off." Mr. Selfe having ascertained that the prisoner was now out of danger, said that, in consideration of his severe sufferings, and in the hope that he would not act so foolishly again he would stiffer him to be dilchuyze4, THE ~ BRITISH CONTROVERSIALIST." A meeting of the readers and friends of this magazine was held last Tuesday evening, in Hope-hall, which was rather numerously attended. Dr. F. J. BAILEY, on taking the chair, read letters, regretting their inability to attend the meeting, from the Rev. Dr. Hume, John 31'Laughlin, Esq., &c., &c. ; and remarked on the great benefits that the magazine had conferred, of an intellectual character, causing many of its readers to enter into various spheres of usefulness, and increasing materially the mental activity of all who studied its pages; and concluded by introducing Mr. J. A. COOPER, F.R.S.L., who, after explaining the reasons for holding the meeting, fully laid down the character of the magazine, which he characterised as unsectional, unsecular, and unsectarian ; it belonged to no party, but was open alike to the •opinions of all; and though some objected that they allowed principles and opinions to be written therein, injurious and poi sonous, he could assure all that they never placed any thing in their magazine without placing the antidote on the opposite page,—if error was on one page, truth was on the other; and as truth must prevail, good was done. The magazine, he said, besides being a controversial one, was also a literary one, containing essays, reviews, &c., of a highly intellectual character.. To literary societies it was invaluable, and in a great measure devoted to their promotion and extension. He con cluded an elegant address amidst much applause. Mr. SAMUEL NEIL, who was well received, next addressed the meeting in an able speech on the benefits and usefulness of controversy, and indignantly denied that the promoters of the British antroversialist were in any way associated with Secularists and Atheists. The impression abroad he was sorry for, because every one ought to know that error hated controversy ; they, however, believed in truth, and above all, and more than all, in God's . truth. (Loud cheers.) Dr. BARNES then moved the following resolution : " That in the opinion of this meeting the British Controversialist has been the means of imparting in struction to many, of largely promoting self-culture, and causing an increased mental activity amongst its readers ; further, it has fully demonstrated the benefits attendant and derivable from written controversy." Mr. THOMAS HAM, _in seconding the motion (which was carried unanimously), fully agreed that the benefits conferred on the readers were great, and showed most lucidly the benefits of written controversy. Mr. GRINDLEY, moving the following motion— . . . "That the British Controversialist bas conferred great benefits on our mutual improvement and literary socie ties by the information it has afforded, ant the active interest in their welfare it has evinced, tenders the thanks of this meeting to the editors of the magazine for their valued exertions, and pledges itself to aid in increasing the circulation of the same"—strongly urged the claims of the magazine on the members of literary societies, and earnestly recommended the same to their attentive L ocK briefly seconded th e mo tion, and A:m. rEdward F d RG George supported it, when it was carried nent . co n. Mr. COOPER, in replying, moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, which concluded a very instructive and interesting meeting. The official programme of the grand volunteer review at Knowsley can now be obtained from the publishers, Messrs. Benson & Mallet, 10, Castle-street. CANADIAN MAILS.—The screw-steamer Bohemian will sail from Liverpool for Montreal and Quebec to-day, with the mails for Canada. The letter-box for this despatch closes at the General Post-office, to=day at 9 a.m. ; via Londonderry, at 9 30 p.m., with a late fee of Id. at 10 p.m., and of 3d. at 10 15 p.m. FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday a man named George Maxwell, a shipwright, who was engaged working at Messrs. Chaloner's yard, was killed by a " frame " falling on him. He was removed to the Southern Hos pital, where he died soon after admission. MILITARY FUNERAL AT BIRKENHEAD. —Yesterday morning a number of the members of the Cheshire Volunteer Rifles accompanied the mortal remains of Mr. Phillips, late a member of the corps, to their final resting place. There was a large number of persons present to witness this melancholy but pleasing compliment of respect to the deceased. AeerßENTs.—Christopher Brady, a labourer, residing in Hesketh-street, fell into the hold of the ship William Patton yesterday, in Canada Dock, and sustained a severe compound fractured skull. A child named Denis Ready, five years of age. residing in Sawney Pope-street; was run over by a cart, in Edgar-street, and sustained a fractured thigh. They were both taken to the Northern Hospital. THE LATE CASE IN VAUXHALL-ROAD.--THE WILL or MRS. JAMES. We have already published the substance of the will of the late Mrs. Janies. It will be remembered that she bequeathed her house and business, furniture, 4c., to Thomas Winslow, who was tried for her murder, but acquitted. We can now state that a caveat has been entered against the will, at the suit of Mr. Bennett, wholesale stationer, London, who is a brother of the deceased. The proceedings have been taken by Messrs. Nelson, solicitors, London, who are acting for Mr. Bennett in the case. 4 CAUTION TO SWELL DRUNKARDS.—Yesterday, the Recorder sentenced an unfortunate to four years' penal servitude for stealing a parse from a person, stylishly dressed, while he was intoxicated. A watch was also stolen, and subsequently pledged for £6 ; but the Recorder, as the gentleman was in such a disgraceful state at the time of the robbery, declined to order the pawnbroker to give up the watch until the prosecutor had paid 44 out of the £6, so that the loss might be equalised, ANOTHER CASE OF MANSLAUGHTER AT LEEDS. — At the Leeds Town-hall, on Tuesday, Sarah Willan, a young married woman, was charged with the man slaughter of her husband, Thomas Willan. The parties, who lived in George's-street, Leeds, quarrelled a fort night ago, on some trivial ground. During the dispute the wife struck her husband a blow on the head, by which he was so seriously affected that medical assist ance was deemed necessary . Willan, however, dail y b w e a c s a ma apprehended p w r e o h r seen, n d 4 the died same on Monday evening. His wife was night. She was remanded until to-day. A post-mortem examination of the body d a e of the deceased was made yesterday. IMPORTANT TO EMIGRANTS.--A very important case, as regards intending emigrants, was brought before the Lord Mayor of London. A young woman, who had paid £2O as passage money to New Zealand, and who had received a ticket for a particular berth, with which she was perfectly satisfied, summoned the agent for a breach of contract. When the young woman went on board the vessel, she was required to occupy a berth of a very inferior character in place of the one she had chosen. Tbis she refused to do, and left the ship at Gravesend. The defendant expressed his willingness to return the passage money ; and the Lord Mayor said that he would allow the matter to drop upon the payment of £25 to the young woman. This sum the agent, Mr. Frederick Sheriff Gray, agreed to pay. A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.—A boy, eleven years of age, named Thomas Gill, sou of a nailmaker, living at Style, near Triangle, has been missed under strange circum stances. So far as is at present known, the lad Gill and three others—Alfred Middlebrook, William Henry Speak, and a younger Speak, left Sowerby school last Tuesday, in order to bathe in the Calder, near Hollings Mills. The 14 has not been seen since. Up to Wed nesday night, it is said, the other three lads denied all knowledge of him, but on that night the younger Speak stated that Gill went into the water, got out of his depth, or was taken ill, and suddenly disappeared. They then formed his clothes in a bundle, tied a stone to it, and sunk it in the river. Having done this, they all ran away , intending to keep the affair a secret. Laborious search has been kept up for the body, but up to Friday it had not been met with —Halifax Courier. The Prince of Wales, before leaving St. John, N.F., presented to the lady of Governor Bannerman a splendid bracelet set with diamonds and emeralds ; also the portraits Qf brothers and sisters. He also gave $250 to the Church of England Asylum for Widows and Orphans ; $250 to the Benevolent Irish Society ; and $250 to be expended amongst poor persons in the town. $5OO were left as prizes to be contended for at a regatta —the Prince nominating as the day on which the regatta should take place, the 26th of August, his father's birthday ? but that failipg on Sunday, it will be postpowd the figlowin Monday. ,rpi,pAity TIMES, TITUR§DAY, AUGUST 30, 18d0. GARIBALDI. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. Sin,—Would you kindly permit me to occupy a corner of your valuable paper with the following few remarks : In all the newspapers and periodicals of the day the name of Garibaldi is first and foremost : his deeds, his bravery, his strategy, and, latterly, his disappearance has been the theme and admiration of all classes,.from the statesman down to the hard-working man. But, in all that I have had an opportunity of reading and hearing since I returned to England, I have neither seen nor heard a true description of his character or bearing. Now, sir, I have by my profession (an artist) been a long resident in Italy, and a few weeks before the taking of the city was lodging in Palermo, and have only been in England nine days. Therefore, I judge myself com petent to give a good outline of the character of the man whom Italy and the world look upon with well deserved admiration. One of your able contemporaries says that " he is a man hasty in making his resolutions, and always determined to carry them out, though it may be to the disadvantage of himself and cause." Now, this I contradict in every sense : never did a man weigh in his mind, and turn over and over again a pro ject before he put it into execution, more than Garibaldi. All his actions prove it. For instance, his landing in Sicily—that dangerous and extensive movement--could that have been projected and executed by a hasty and headstrong general ? No. He is a man who will risk all, and even forfeit his life, for that noble cause— " Liberty! " He is so idolised by the people, that I think even should the fortune of war turn against him in any of his numerous battles, they would think that it was only part of some great stratagem to further their cause, and they would still look up to him as the saviour and liberator of their country. The people that Garibaldi looks to and tries to follow in all their institutions and laws, are the English. And should he gain his ends, Italy, that "garden of Europe," will one day be the pride and envy of Europe.—Hoping that you will oblige by inserting the above, I am, sir, yours, &c., G. E. Liverpool, Angel Hotel, August 29. THE, CASE OF • THE REV. MR, BONNELL. COURT OF ARCHES.—YESTERDAY. JUDGMENT. (Before' Dr. Lushington, Dean of the Arches.) Yesterday morning Dr. Lushington delivered judg ment in the case of the Rev. James Bonwell, the inciun bent of St. Philip's, Stepney, whose case 134.4 frequently been before the Court. Dr. Lushington said that the course he proposed to take was, first, to ascertain with reference to the evidence what facts were involved, then, what was the legal infer ence, not only individually but from the collective facts. When he had done so, he should determine how the facts were to be dealt with. In the evidence which had been given there was no conflict, Mr. Bon well having offered no counter testimony. The learned Judge examined the evidence in detail, first of 41 excul pating Mr. Yorath, the brother of the young woman whose naroe has been frequently mentioned, from the aspersions which have been cast on him, remarking that in the opinion of the Court Mr. Yorath had acquitted himself most creditably, although at the time he gave his evidence under a sense of just and natural indignation. He went through the evidence as it affected Mr. Bonwell and Miss Yorath at Newport, Margate, Islington, and other places, dwelling particAlgly on the birth of the child at St, Philip's school-room, its subsequent burial, in the Tower Hamlets Cemetery, and the curious dis covery of the matter through the fraud of an under taker, who was employed to bury the deceased boy. The conclusions were simply these—that the evidence against Mr. Bonwell was entirely uncontradicted; that Mr. Bon, well seduced the young woman, Elizabeth Xorath, he being a married Moab awl falaely representing himself to be single, and that he had caused great scandal in the Church of which he was a minister. Under these cir cnmstances it was quite impossible that Mr. Bonwell could exercise hereafter his ministrations 'with any profit to the Church, and the sentence of the court, therefore, would be deprivation from holy orders, with coadenina tion and costs. Mr. Bonwell gave notice of appeal, which the learned iudge directed to be entered for the first session of neat term. Mr. John Hassard, the Bishop of London's private secretary, was present during the proceedings. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. BENEFICES AND APPOINTMENTS VACANT. RECTORY. Strensham, co. and dio.

PORTUGAL AND THE YORKSHIRE WOOLLEN TRADE. —We are sorry to announce that the new Portuguese tariff, a copy of which has just been received in this country, does not hold out those promising prospects for the Yorkshire woollen trade which our merchants and tradesmen were led to imagine when the tariff was first generally promulgated. DEATH. IN THE PULPIT.-1t is with the deepest regret that we (Sligo indalendent) have to announce the death of the Rev. Robert Alexander Hamilton, incum bent of Ballisodare, who fell dead in his pulpit on Sun day last. He proceeded with his service at the usual time in apparently good health, and whilst in prayer he was observed to falter the last few words he was heard to speak. Before his congregation had time to turn round he had fallen and was dead. Dr. Adam Simpson, who was in church, immediately went to his assistance, but he had broken a blood-vessel of the heart, and life was extinct. LETTER FROM GARIBAIDL—The following letter from General Garibaldi has been received by the Countess of Shaftesbury :—" Southern Army of Italy, Messina, August 12.—Dear and Excellent Lady,—Amongst the most fortunate circumstances of my life I number that of having acquired for my country the sympathy of the generous ladies of England. Be pleased to interpret my gratitude to those most valued and most kind friends to whom Italy owes so much. With the most profound esteem I remain, madam, your devoted servant,—G. Genan,tenr.—To Lady Shaftesbury, President of the Ladies' Garibaldi Benevolent Association." DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATIONS.—Yesterday morn ing, between the hours of four and five o'clock, a destructive fire broke out on the extensive premises of Mr. William Oulds, oil and Italian warehouse, situate at the corner of Stephen-street, Tottenham-court -road. The premises and stock were burnt out, and adjoining houses damaged. Cause unknown ; insured in the Westminster and other offices. Another fire of an alarming character broke out on Tuesday on the extensive premises of Mr. T. Colwell, scale-board cutter and splint maker, Hercules -buildings, Lambeth. The building w as nearly 90 feet long by 30 feet wide, and was used as a workshop. Owing to the shortness of water, the dames spread and communicated to Mr. Willi am Pitt's (coach maker) premises ; but notwithstanding the most strenuous exertions of the firemen the premises were destroyed. Caused by over heat of drying stove. Insured in the State Fire Insurance-office. On Wed nesday morning about nine o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Langley, situate in Bridge-court, near the Westminster steam-boat pier. The engines having been sent for, several quickly attended, when it was found that an aged lady, the owner of the house, had by some means set her clothes on fire, and was unfortunately burned death. COLLISION ON THE SHREWSBURY AND, H EREFORD RAILWAY.—On Monde) morning one of the ordinary goods trains, which left arewsbury at an early hou r , broke down near Woofferton, a short distance from Lud low, an event which, the line being a single one, inter rupted the progress of the other trains at the appointed times, and made it necessary to announce by telegraph to certain of the stations the alterations which had been determined on as to the places at which trains should pass each other. In consequence, however, of some misconstruction of a telegraph message a pas senger train was allowed to proceed. Thus going on, and proceeding at the rate of about thirty miles an hour, down an incline of about 1 in 100, near Wistanstow, the driver of the passenger train, immediately he had passed r oun d a s h arp c urve, saw the goods train, which he h a d expec t e d t o meet at Onibury, approach ing within a di s t ance o f 300 yards. He immediately shut off steam, reverse d th e en gine, and applied the break, but such w as th e i m p e tus of the train going down a descending gradient that its speed was but slightly arrested, and it ran with fearful force into the goods train, which was ascending the incline at a speed of about eight miles an hour. The collision did great damage to the carriages of the passenger train, an d several of the passengers were much injured. The driver of the passenger train (Lawson), which contained about 4Q passengers, jumped off the engine just b e f ore the collision, and was seen to turn two or three com plete summersaults in the air before alighting. H e has fottnnately escaped with a severe shaking. Th e persons L . charge of the goods train umPecl off and were uni nj Lire d THE MOORISH EMBASSY. We have already briefly noticed the arrival and departure of an accredited ambassador, accompanied by a numerous suite, from the Court of Morocco to the Court of St. James's. As this illustrious personage has now left our shores, we think it due to such a visitation—which has not happened since the days of Charles ll.—to give to our readers some description of this embassy. Without further • preface we procee d w i t h our description. On the 14th of June two missions from the Court of Morocco simultaneously:embarked at Tangier, the one Proceeding to England, the other to France. On the 20th of the same month the Embassy for England arrived at Portsmouth in the • screw-frigate Melpomene, Captain Ewart. The embassy was accom panied from Tangier by Mr. James de Visme Drummond Hay, C. 8., late vice-consul at Tetuan, but now paid attache to his brother, Mr. John Drummond Hay, C. 8., our energetic minister resident at Tangier. It is well known that the C.B. has been deservedly conferred upon these brothers for the diplomatic services of one and the gallant services of the other.' The Moors were . over joyed in being placed during the voyage under the protection of one whom they knew to be their friend, and who, they were well assured, would protect them in a strange land. Nothing particular transpired during the voyage but the difficulty of teaching these good peoPle the use of a knife and fork. In their first attempt they held on violently by the knife, while they divided the meat with their fork. Having accomplished this, they employed a large table-Toon to perform the final duty of conveying the morsels. into the mouth. But we must record the names and titles of the dif ferent members of the embassy. The Ambassador rejoices in the name of Seed Maho med Slamee, being about 30 years of age, with a pallid complexion, and of a rather melancholy cast of counte nance. He is a man of wealth and influence in the Court of Morocco, and Treasurer of the Empire, appar ently slothful in mind and body. Then comes the Plenipotentiary, Abderrahman Agie, about 60 years of age, Councillor to the Sultan. As the, Ambassador is the head man, s o i s th e Pl en ip o t en ti ar y the man with a head, being of the two by far the more intelligent, and taking the lead in all matters connected with the Embassy, Their Excellencies envelop themselves in fine white and purple drapery, surmounted by a white haik of large dimensions, which forms a hood closely tied round the head and neck; while on their feet they wear plain yellow slippers, well down at the heel. The next in rank is a fine, tall old man, nearly eighty, one of the first generals in the Moorish army. His dress is peculiar--a high-peaked red fez cap, surrounded by a huge white turban of many folds, with a streak of yellow in it to denote the rank of general, strongly contrasting with his fine swarthy features, which are edged with a scanty supply of white whiskers ; a white hail- is thrown gracefully over the left shoulder. He is armed with a short dagger, in an elaborately embossed silver sheath, and a long sabre in a red scabbard. He belongs to the Bokhari, or Imperial Guard. The Bokhari Guard are the desendants of prisoners taken in war from the interior of Africa by Sultan Mulaf Ismael about 200 years ago, and were formed by him into troops, and married to Moorish white women ; they are called slaves of the Sultan, though they receive pay as soldiers. Four of these soldiers accompany the general, and are very good samples of the Black Guard—taken in the sense of two separate words, and not in one word of two syllables. A very intelligent fat little man, with a quick, pene trating eye, is the next personage in the suite. He is priest and secretary to the Embassy ; his dress is similar to that of the Ambassador and Plenipotentiary. There are also two Attaches. The distinguishing dress of these young gentlemen is a turban and n coat of many colours; one of them is a relative to the Ainbassador. Three slaves attend the Embassy, one of them as cook, with slit ears, caused by his ear-rings being wanted in a hurry. Their thickened lips and depressed noses betoken them to be denizens of an African clime. Great is their attachment to their masters, from whom, throughout Morocco, they receive the kindest . treatment. There is but one more person to be mentioned, and he may often have been seen, during the stay of the Embassy, chattering with the domestics at Claridge's street-door, in Brook-street, and smoking his cigarette with much complaisance. His dress is a fez cap, blue jacket with yellow facings, blue loose breeches, while his legs and feet are incarcerated in Manchester cotton stockings and London laced boots. This intelligent young man has been for many years a servant in the family of Mr. Hay, at Tangier, where he has learnt a little English and imbibed many European ideas, such as having no objection to a glass of wine or beer, accom panied by a pipe or cigar. We may here mention that Moors, as a general rule, indulge neither in the one nor the other. Upon the arrival of the Embassy at Portsmouth they at once proceeded by train to London, and were received at the Waterloo terminus by Captain Lynch, C. 8., an officer of the Indian navy, distinguished for his services in Persia and the East, having been employed by the British Government in many a dangerous diplomatic mission that required much discretion and endurance. This officer was selected by her Majesty's Government to attend upon the Moorish Embassy during its stay in this country. Every arrangement had been made by Captain Lynch for the reception of the Embassy at Claridge's Hotel, whither they were accordingly taken. Mr. Claridge has throughout their stay at his hotel been most indefatigable in his exertions to minister to their comfort and requirements, a kitchen and slaughter house being set apart for their use ; for, strict Maho medans, they will not touch meat of any kind that has not been killed after their own fashion. Very soon after their arrival they were honoured with an audience by her Majesty, to whom they were pre sented by Lord John Russell, and in the evening attended her Majesty's state ball. They were present at the volunteer review in Hyde-park, and were touched by the considerate kindness of her Majesty in causing them to be rescued from a crowded stand and placed beside the Royal carriage. They have been overwhelmed by visits and invitations from many of the leading members of the fashionable world, and have attended some few of the parties of the season. At the Lord Mayor's Ministerial dinner it was curious to witness their aptitude for imitation in passing the loving cup. It should here be stated that they presented the Lord Mayor with £2OO towards the charities of the city. We also understand that the Moorish Ambassador to the French Court has given £4OO for the suffering Christian community in Syria. They were taken to the opera and theatres, the Crys tal Palace, at which an incident occurred significant of their veneration for anything of a sacred character; they observed that the tiles with which the Alhambra Court is paved bore the inscription in Arabic, " There is no strength but in God," and would not therefore walk on them. Their presence in the Alhambra Court was picturesque in the extreme, and they looked as if they were part and parcel of that faithful model of the ancient Moorish building in Grenada. They have visited Woolwich, the Queen's stables, the Kensington Museum, the Zoological Gardens, the Houses of Parliament, the Tower, the Thames Tunnel, the Docks, the Bank, and the private gardens of Buckingham Palace. They shun publicity and covet privacy, and are not easily incited to the fatigue of sight-seeing ; they appear to lack the spirit of curiosity. That which seemed to be a real pleasure to them was to drive to Mr. Claridge's private farm at Hendon, where a tent was pitched for their accommodation, in which dinner and tea after the Moorish fashion were provided. The black soldiers were highly amused in kicking about a football, and sometimes, after a violent kick, their slippers would accompany the ball. They shot with bows and arrows at a target (which, by the by, they never hit) until all the arrows were broken. Their idea of playing at cricket was that of throwing the bats at the heads of one another. It was pleasant to witness the active enjoyment of these black soldiers, while the Ambassador himself fell fast asleep on a hay cock, and on waking exclaimed, "If you want to know what 1 like, it is this." They more than once repeated their visit to Hendon. It is to hoped that the embassy have returned to Morocco well satisfied with their hospitable reception in this country. John Bull is like a rich man ever suspecting a visit from his poor relations, to have for its object the nego tiation of a loan. Same of our readers may entertain this idea of the visit of the Moorish Embassy, both to this country and to France,---a supposition very natural at the present moment, when we know that the evacua tion of Tetuan by the Spaniards depends on the payment of a large sum of money to them by the Moorish Gov ermnent. We have no hesitation, however, in affirming, upon the highest authority, that such is not the object of either mission, and that the services of Rothschild will certainly not be required on the present occasion. We firmly believe that these missions have no ulterior ob ject beyond announcing the elevation of the present Sultan to the throne of his ancestors, and seeking the countenance and protection of the two great European Powers, England and France. FORGERY.—On Tuesday F. A. Daviss was charged before the Mayor of London with forging a. bill of exchange for L 479 6s. The prison.er called at the Bank of England with in,on,ey to talPe up the bill two days before it fell due, but the clerk refused to, let him hare it, and so the forgery was discovered. The case was remanded. THE Seth VELYET TRADE. —Meeting s have been held by the silk vel vet weavers of Halst ead, Coggeshall, and Sudbury, in consequence of the determination of some of their employers to reduce wages 3d. per yard. This step is stated to be necessitated by the competition arising from the importation of German goods. A strike has been talked of among the men, but on the whole they seem disposed to act on friendly terms with their employers, whom they have earnestly • reconsider their decision, BIRKENHEAD STREET RAILWAY WILL OPEN THIS DAY (THURSDAY), VIE 3Ont INSTANT.

THE BIRKENHEAD COMAIISSIONERS.—Yesterday morn ing a special meeting of this board of commissioners was held at the Public-otlices, Hamilton-square, but as the business to be transacted was purely a motion of finance, the reporters were requested to withdraw. The number of petitions presented during the present session has reached the enormous amount of 24,264. On Monday, the Borough Magistrates of Bridgewater intimated their intention to protect the inmates of the Agapemone against the attacks of the Rev. Mr. Price and his friends. VISCOUNT SANDON.—Iu consequence of the state of his health, which will compel him to spend the winter at Madeira, Viscount Sandon has been obliged to resign the command of the Stafford Rifle Corps. A Missouri editor announces that the publication of his paper will be suspended for six weeks, in order that he may risit St. Louis with a load of bear skins, hoop poles, shingles, bark, pickled catfish, &c., which he has taken for subscriptions. AN EMPEROR ON THE ROAD.—The Mcmiteur de 'la Cote d' Or states that M. Gorsse, the postmaster of Clermont-Ferrand, who is charged with organising the relays of horses for the Emperor's journey in 'Savoy, has sent - off 900 horses to the different points where they will be required. 111. Simon, of Breslau, one of the leading men in the revolutionary movements of 1848, and who took refuge in Switzerland after the dissolution of the Frank fort Parliament, was drowned last week while bathing in the Lake of Wallenstadt. IMMEMORIAL TO SAMUEL CROMPTON.—A meeting of the inhabitants of Bolton was held at the Concert Hall, in that town, last evening, to consider the subject of raising a memorial in honour of the late Mr. Samuel Crompton, the inventor of the " mule." The question has been taken up with much spirit by the population of Bolton. No PASSPORT FOR " CASSANDRA."—TiIe Opinitme of Turin states that on the occasion of a new tragedy, " Cassandra," being performed in that city on the 24th, the author, M. Somma, a Venetian, had applied to the Austrian police for a passport, in order to witness the first performance, but was peremptorily refused. RAGGED SCHOOLS' FESTIVAL AT HOUNsEY. —Au entertainment was given on Tuesday to a large number of the children of the Metropolitan Ragged Schools, on the Tottenham-wood estate, belonging to the Muswell-hill Palace Land Company. The children, about 3,000 in all, with their teachers, were conveyed to the spot by special trains on the Great NoLthern Railway. MIGRATION OF SWALLOWS.—AS a proof of the un seaeonably inclement weather which has recently pre 'vaned, it may be stated that during several days past multitudes of swallows have been observed hovering over the river about the Lower Hope, evidently engaged in their annual migration, the present time being at least a month earlier than the usual aerial voyage of these birds. ANCONA.—The Central Administration of the Ponti fical Ports on the Adriatic has issued a notice to captains of vessels of all nations, announcing that the port of Ancona will henceforth be closed during the night by a chain. During the day this chain will be let down to a depth of about ISO feet to admit vessels, the lighthouse giving the proper signals both for the opening and closing of the port. JOURNALISM ABROAD.—The Unita Zialiana was seized at Genoa, on the 23rd, for having published a letter from Mazzini, and the Cattolico, an ultra-clerical paper, for an article against the Government. A daily newspaper in French, called 1' Italie Nouvelle, has just been started at The Ost DentBelie-Post, of Vienna, was seized, on the 22nd, for publishing an article on the situation in which the press is placed in Austria. THE PEARSON PARK FETE AT HULL. — This fete was continued at Hull, on Wednesday. In the after noon two more trees were planted in the Park : one by Master Pearson (the Mayor's son), and another by Miss Pearson. The ceremony was witnessed by a large com pany, including the Mayor, Mr. W. D. Seymour, M.P. ; the Mayor of Southampton, &c. Various amusements were indulged in during the day, and the Pearson Park fete will be an event long remembered by the inhabitants of Hull. CLOSE OF TUE TAY :SALMON FISHING.—The Tay salmon fishing season closed on Saturday evening last, much to the regret of the tacksmen of both the upper and lower stations, on account of the large number of fish caught during the past week. On Saturday the " takes" were excellent, and the grilse caught perfectly clean and in excellent condition. We believe, indeed, that the number of both salmon and grilse in the river is unusually large for the season. The rod fishing con- tinues till the Ist October, and on the Tay and tributa ries excellent sport is being enjoyed, and is likely to continue. SHOCKING AND FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday morning, an accident, attended with fatal re sults, occurred at the Wharncliffe Silkstone Colliery. About half-past four o'clock, two men, named Charles Coward and John Haigh, after having been working at the bottom of the shaft, were ascending, when, from some unforeseen cause, the truck which they were in was precipitated to the bottom. Haigh fortunately caught hold of a conducting rod, and there remained in awful suspense for ten minutes, when he was liberated by assistance from the top of the shaft. His companion, however, was killed on the spot, his remains being found under the truck at the bottom. TIMBER BROKERS. - Some strong complaints have been received regarding the practice of the War-office in refusing to entertain tenders for timber except through the medium of brokers—an agency which necessarily increases its expense. The Admiralty, it is said, adopt the opposite course with much advantage. If this be the case, an alteration must be necessary. In ordinary transactions the employment of a broker is usually the best economy, but iu the great public contracts of the Government it may often be unnecessary and undesirable. and there seems, therefore, much impolicy in making an arbitary rule on the subject. COTTON.—In a letter from the Zambesi, dated March 12th, Dr. Livingstone says —" We have found an opening into the magnificent cotton field through part of which I travelled far to the west, and the form and fertility of which, if I am rightly informed, have been confirmed by Burton and Speke. This discovery, how ever, has been at the expense of a vexatious delay, the produce of a fraud, to our proceeding to the Macololo country, but it has opened a field for direct influence on the slave trade in several parts on the east coast 1 never anticipated." WEST CUMBERLAND ELECTION.—Mr. Percy Wynd ham, second son of Lord Leconfield, was elected on Monday without opposition, a Knight of the Shire, to serve in Parliament for the western division of the County of Cumberland. The newly elected M.P. then addressed the people from the hustings. Towards the close of his speech, from some cause not explained, the platform of the hustings gave way, and in its fall car ried with it the speaker, the High Sheriff, Lord Mun caster, Mr. Hoskins, and all the gentlemen surrounding them. Fortunately, however, the height was not great, and, as all the gentlemen managed to keep their feet, the only injuries sustained were slight bruises, with the exception that ono man who had been standing beneath at the time of the accident had his arm broken. The accident created considerable alarm and confusion, which subsided when it was understood that no one was seriously injured. The hon. gentleman, having climbed to the reporters' seat, which had not fallen, then resumed his address. - TRADE RETURNS FOR LAST MONTH. — The Board of Trade returns for the past month are highly favour able, the declared value of our exports showing an increase of £1,237,247 over the corresponding period of last year. More than half this augmentation has been from cotton goods, which have been largely taken in the Levant, South America, and the United States. Nearly all other articles have likewise been extensively shipped. We subjoin a statement of the total declared value of the exports of British and Trish produce and manufactures during the month and seven months, including only the " enumerated" articles : For the month. 1858 £60,122,586 1859 1860 The total exports during the first seven months of the year have been £74,542,687 against £74,288,610 in the same period of 1859, showing an increase of £254,077, or about '4 per cent. Including the " unenumerated articles," the aggregate exports stand thus : For the month, For seven months. £10,993,997 11,285,451 12,522,698 1858 1859 1860 _ Compared with 1858, an increase is shown of £1%080,886, or more than 15 per cent. With regard to imported commodities, the most striking feature is the large arrival of grain and flour of all kinds during the month. Still the totals of wheat and wheaten tiour taken during the first seven months of the year are more than 20 per cent. below those from Japnary tq J i 4 z i‘tt 1859, and also in 1858. 4 may be presumed, there fore, that the large how 0,49 : consequent upon recent good harvests ka,ye been consWerably diminished.

The Teeth influence the form and expression of the countenance more than is generally imagined, and the finest face is disfigured if the Teeth are irregular, and a dis agreeable expression is produced. When the Teeth are good and regular, there is, when speaking or smiling, a fascination present which prevents further examination of the countenance. The most striking cases are those persons about the• middle period of life who have lost their Teeth; for, how— ever clear and perfect their utterance may have betn before their less, it is impossible to regain it without sup— plying the deficiency by means of Artificial Teeth.
