He (Mr. yet.

Mr. Wybergh said if Mr. Priest made any ing note in reply :—" Dear Sir : I have gone to the West End about the shares. IC I come back in time, 1 will call, if not, on Monday morning.—A. STEINBERG." He called on Monday with the scrip certificates. I counted up the numbers that were on them, and finding they were 1,500, I laid them aside for the buyer. As Collins did not come, I went to his residence, 19, Addle-street, Cheapside, but I could hear nothing of him. The checks were both cashed, one on Saturday, the other on Monday.—Sir R. William Carden (to the prisoner) : Have you anything to say ?—Prisoner: I will first ask you, sir, whether the Mining Journal would quote "chairs " or "shares ?"—Sir R. W. Carden : Wey, shares, I suppose.—Prisoner : Well, I took him the Mining Journal for three weeks past, and showed him these shares epeoted at 4100 premium.—Mr. Deportu: He brought me some newspapers to show me something else. It did not relate to this. I did not look to see whether they were " chairs" or " shares."— Prisoner : He was satisfied, and said he would do more business of the same kind.—Sir R. W. Carden : Yes, but he thought'yours was an honest transaction.—Prisoner : So it is honest.—Mr. Deportu : One of the checks was paid through the City bank.—Sir R. W. Carden : I am sorry he has got such respectable bankers.—Prisoner : I will prove myself as respectable as my bankers.—Sir R. W. Carden : You must first clear yourself of this charge. You must give two sureties in 4500, and yourself in £l,OOO. Where are the bills ?—Prisoner : I gave them to Mr. Neumann. —Mr. Horsley : That's false. He was this morning trying to negotiate one of them for 4280, and that was what enabled us to trace him—Sir R. W. Carden then declined to take bail, and remanded the discoiTry of embezzlement, before or atter the time when the present affair was condoned, he could again give the prisoner into custody. The young man was then discharged. Irisoner. PROPOSED CRIMEAN MONUMENT Is SHEFFIELD. A movement has been commenced by some working men in Sheffield, to erect a monument in that .town to the memory of our countrymen who fell in the Crimea. They have communicated through Miss Shore, of Meerabrook, with Miss Nightingale, requesting that she would consent to lay the foundation-stone. Miss Nightingale has replied to her relative (Miss Shore) as follow : " Lea Hurst, Matlock, Oct. 23. "My dear Lydia,—The purpose mentioned to me in your letter, has my deepest sympathy. It would have been most congenial with my feelings, on my return from the death-bed of so many brave men, to take a part in it. I shall be with the men of Sheffield in spirit, whenever they execute their proposed plan. It is with real pain that I feel compelled to decline the privilege which they offer me — o f l a ying the first stone. But I believe, I shall best honour the cause of those brave dead, by abstaining from appearing to court that publicity which I consider to have been my greatest impediment in the work I have been en gaged in for their sakes; impeding it by strewing in some minds care for worldly distinctions. I will ask you to give this letter to Mr. Overend, and I should be glad that Mr. Overend should make known to those who had expressed a desire that 1 should lay the first stone, my reasons and my sorrow for not doing so ; and should say also that I feel an especial regret in declining this at Sheffield, from old and dear family recollections connected with the place. I must apologise for so late an answer, as I have only just returned home.—Pray believe me, my dear Lydia, ever very truly l i yours, _ _ " FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE. " Miss Shore, Meersbrook." Miss Nightingale has also sent a cheque of £2O towards the object, consisting of a subscription of £5 each from herself, her father (Mr. Nightingale), and from her uncle and aunt, (Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Smith). The undertaking will be launched by a public meeting called by the mayor. EARTHQUAKE IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA.—A shock of an earthquake was distinctly felt in and around Adelaide, at about a quarter past two o'clock on Wednesday morning, the 25th of June. It was accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, which lasted for several seconds and gave the idea of thunder underground. It was naturally felt more in lofty houses, in some of the upper rooms of which the earthen ware and even the furniture were perceptibly shaken. From the numerous letters published in the Adelaide papers from persons resident in town and the suburban districts, it seems to have extended over a wide range.—Australian and New Zealand Gazette. RAILWAYS IN INELAND.—A meeting of ratepayers held at Dunmanway, in the county of Cork, on Thursday, and presided over by Viscount Bernard, M.P., adopted a reso lution in favour of a baronial guarantee for the extension of the Cork and Bandon Railway to Drimoleague, with a branch to Clonakilty. The meeting was a very numerous and influential one; and the resolution adopted was to the effect that that meeting of the ratepayers of the West Riding of the county of Cork, agree to accept the proposal of giving a guarantee of five per cent. on an expendit ure o f £6,000 per mile for the construction of a railway direct from Bandon to Skibbereen, on the terms of the bill of 1853, but that no greater grantee than three p er cen t. should be given by the districts within fifteen miles of the town of Bandon, and that the line should be commenced within six months, and completed within three years. A spirited subscription was entered into on the spot to defend the bill if it should be opposed in parliament.

The official open. liannoversche Nachrichten publishes the following article : " We are enabled to state, on authority worthy of credit, that up to the present moment no communication has been made to the Government in any way confirmatory of the statement made by different newspapers that the United States of North America have manifested a desire to oppose in future the further payment of the Stade Dues. We are in a position to add, for the benefit of our more timorous readers, and to allay any apprehensions on the subject, that there is every reason to wait with the most perfect calmness to see if the questions said to be propounded to the United States consul at Hamburg will be followed up by any further steps ; the more so, as with reference to the legal right of levying these duties, as guaranteed by the Congress of Vienna, and further confirmed by the treaty of 1844, si g ned at Dresden, , no one in the least acquainted with public law can doubt for a moment that his Majesty's government is in possession of sufficient means to be able to repel any arro• gsnt demands and unfounded pretensions, from whatever quarter they may be made." Passing by the bombast in the latter pall of the article above, Hanover could not have done worse than take her stand on the two treaties mentioned. In the first place the Act of the Congress of Vienna—unhappily too long a dead letter—expressly stipulates the free navigation of all the rivers of Germany; secondly, the treaty of Dresden was signed only by the river bordering states of the Elbe, and, consequently, cannot be binding on ether countries, besides which its object was merely to regulate the manner in which they bound themselves to fleece the navigation of the Elbe, and the share which each should receive, in utter disregard of all the stipulations of the treaty of Vienna ; and thirdly, the treaty of Dresden has reference merely to the duties to be levied on the Upper Elbe—that is, from the spot where it becomes navigable down to Ham burg—and baa nothing to do with the Stade Dues which Hanover, occassionally and to suit her own purposes as convenience requires, affects to call a sea duty; and yet, rather anomalously, raises it on ships passing Stade, which, as your readers are aware, is file miles from Brunshausen, which latter is half way up the Elbe from Cuxhaven to Hamburg.

BIRKENHEAD TEMPERANCE SOCIETY. I THE LIME-STREET WARD CONTEST. I The annual meeting of the members and friends of this society was held last evening, at the Argyle itooms, Birken head. A very excellent and substantial tea was provided by Mr. Millbourn, confectioner, of Clarence Street, Liver pool, on the occasion, of which several hundred persons, including females and juveniles, partook. The company having done ample justice to the good things provided for them, and the tables being cleared away, Mr. Lawrence Heywortb, M.P., took the chair, being supported on the platform by Messrs. Hubbert, J. G. Nash, G. Dobson, W. Johnston, 3. G. Brien, - French, and the Rev. Mr. Williams. Mr. R. C. Rawlins and Mr. Edward Grubb, the celebrated mperance advocate were also present The company having taken till Lawrence Ladies anal TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—ln your to-day's paper, Mr. John Buck Lloyd is reported to have given utterance to the following ominous words in his speech to the mob outside the Swan Inn, on Saturday evening :—" He would tell the electors, however, that they had been under the spy system, for the detectives had been set to watch their movements." Is this intended as a threat ? Is this a I se now. .ch rod in pickle for thob, ~ but honest , voted in accordance with their cu diate interest, and returned Jeffery ? I have no desire to lie severe or uncharitable to an oppo iching under the pain of disgrace and defeat, therefore, refrain, for the present, commenting further upon the above singular sentence, until I am re-assured that such was not the intention of the speaker ; however, I must add that this public threat, proceeding from such a quarter, is very much commented upon through out all classes, both in and out of the Ward, many seem to think that his party mean what their chief gave utterance to, seeing that many respectable tradesmen, as well as honest and independent artisans, were threatened on Saturday afternoon that it would be a bad job for them, thus anticipating the public threat made by their defeated chief. Requesting that some explanation will be given of this implied party intimidation and vindictive persecution, I remain, yours respectfully, AN ELECTOR. iverpool, November 3, 1856. I ,eilci - ident electors who science and their imme- nent, cro I‘l.P I am exceed the chairman ly happy on this occasion, have been on all previous, to come before you as the advo pies of total abstinence—that is, the of intoxicating drinks. This great question, for it is a great question, as it is now moving the whole world, was commenced about twenty years ago, but it did not begin with the mighty, the learned, the wise, or the affluent; it did not rest with thole parties to bring before the public this great scheme. No, these great principles—and they were great principles, for they were extending now throughout the length and brea'th of the world—these great principles, I say, did not commence the proud, the great, or the mighty, but were first ;it forward by a few labouring men of Preston, who 'arils advocated their principles. These poor men ered what the wise and the great 'could not; they ()very that in all intoxicating drinks there was a poison. Alcohol is that poison. They discovered what the meaning of the word intoxicating was. They found that it was derived from a Latin word, which meant total abstaining from the use made the d . We are all now aware what alcohol is, I liquors contains alcohol ; such as ale, or l (Laughter.) There is no fer- What is the All fer- eer, or porter, or n " pop" itself . contain - poison. r at characteristics of these intoxicating Why, I will tell you. If you once begin to ta.%le them, even if not in great quantities, you always kel that you want more and more, and you go on talc;:ng them win they end in your destruction. That is the true character of these ;poisons. There are some people who say, " yes, but you may take them moderately." Now, Ido not mean to say that there hare aors bu ,'.rinks ? been men in the world who have taken this p , isonoua drink in moderation, and have been healthy, and have lived to a good ';,id age. But such men are the excep tito to the rule, :,nd not the rule itself. I say the rule is, that if a mar once begins to take these poisonous drinks, he g^,3 on 'caking more and more until he undermines his destroys his strength, and eventually destroys his mortal son]. That is the effect of these poisons. But that is not all ; for he will not only lose his health, his strength, but he destroys all his future prospects, and sinks himself in the moral scale of society. Drink destroys his natural feeling, makes a man a murderer, and prone to all sorts of evil. It makes him a murderer, not only of the stranger, bit also of his wife, whom he has sworn to love and to cherish, but also of his own children. There are not isolated circumstances, for they are occurring almost every day. Take up a newspaper, where you will find such to be the case. A husband goeehome late at night, full of drink ; he quarrels with his wife—for drink always causes quarrelling, eren with his wife, who is his best friend—and then he, .with come fell blow, takes the life of his own dear wife. That is but too frequently the case, and then the poor innocent children are likewise the sufferers from his brutality. Now, the great question we have to consider is, what are we to do with the men who will frequent the tavern ? The time is came when that question must claim your serious attention. TC'e say, take away the temptation. But how is that to be done? Why, by ail becoming teetotallers—let all become total abstaiters—all men, women, and children—and we shall soon have the evil removed. But there may be some who `are se weak that they cannot resist the temptation. How are we to keep and preserve them from such temptations ? Why, the time has now arrived—the great principles of total abstinence are becoming so well known throughout the world—that the time has now arrived when we have a right to call upon the legislature to do away with the evil by shuting up the houses where such poisons are sold. In this count'ry‘there were more shops open for the sale of poisons than there were for gond and healthy food. These shops are the temptation, and from going to them men are sent to the scaffold, and therefore they should be removed And we say the day is now come when we will such men to represent us in Parliament as sist on the prohibition of the manufacturing nd of the sale of all intoxicating drinks. His view of the hal been adopted by a large number of our fellow- at once only send 'men in America ; and why should we not do it here ? In the United States, where I have been during the summer, thirteen of the States out of the 31 have adopted that plan, rind have prohibited the production and the sale of all in `toxicating drinks. The State of Maine was the first State to adopt that principle, and hence arose the name of the Maine Liquor Law. That law was stringently carried out until last year, when, at the election, a majority of these returned were not total abstainers, and the effect of that was that the law was not so stringently carried out as before : but this year there had been a majority of total ab stainers returned, and I have much pleasure in telling you ble ti,, lan "so ao otrinycntlY a r rirfi out as ever it was Having read several quotations from an American annual report, showing bow the Maine Law bad benefited the States in which it had been adopted, and referred to the speech of the King of Sweden, who had become a total abstainer, as well as the Queen, he concluded by saying, I consider this is a very satisfactory state of affairs ; and I hope you will pay attention to the advocates who will address you, and not only be total abstainers yourselves, but also endeavour to make your friends the same. This advice I wish strongly to impress on the ladies, and hope they will not have any acquaintance with those who are not total abstainers. _ _ ~ ~blr. Rawlins and Mr. Grubb then, at considerable length, addressed the meeting, strongly and eloquently enforcing the opinions they advocated on the meeting. They admitted that the arguments they had to adduce had nearly become thread bare by repetition, but still it was impossible to have the principles they advocated too often expounded. After a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated. ATTEMPTED MURDER On Sunday morning a murderous assault was committed on a woman named Martin, an " unfortunate," residing at No. 14, Lucy's-buildings, St. Andrews, Holborn. The assailant, a widower named Thomas Burke, had been pay ing his addresses to Martin, and it had been arranged that they should be married shortly. On Saturday night, how ever, he only brought her home a very trifling sum, which she said would not be sufficient to keep her honest. He then asked her to accompany him to the theatre to witness the performance of Dred. She refused, saying at the same time, " I must stop at home and earn my living." He returned about half-past twelve o'clock, and found the street door open. He was seen by a person living next door to enter, and after a brief space of time to sud denly leave, closing the door violently, and then run off. The neighbour apprehending something wrong had hap pened, went outside, knocking violently at the street door, but getting no answer, called to the police on duty in the district, when Sergeant Hackney and an officer arrived. It was then ascertained that the woman had gone to bed with another man, and the accused coming to the house and finding the pair together deliberately inflicted a tremendous b'ow with one of his boots on the woman's head, from which blood flowed so copiously as to saturate the sheets and pillows of the bed, and to cover a considerable portion of the floor ing. The wounded woman was removed to the infirmary of the Holborn Union. When the police entered the house they found the man who had been sleeping with the injured woman in the act of dressing himself, and being accused of having caused the injury, the woman replied, "No, it was not hint, but it was the man Burke." The following description of the man was circulated last night :—" A man, named Thomas Burke, has made his escape after attempting to murder a woman, named Mary Martin, who at present lies in the Holborn Union, Gray's-inn lane, from the injuries received. The accused is of middle stature, he has a dark complexion, with few whiskers under his chin. He was dre4sed in a dark striped trowsers, brown vest, blue cloth coat, and black hat, with a broad band. He is by trade a lithographic 'minter, and works near St. Paul's Cathedral. He is a widower with two children." A DYING CONFESSION.—A few days ago an individual, named John Barnes, who had been in the Crimean war, died in the Wrexham Union Workhcuse. On his death bed he confessed to the nurse of the sick ward that he had carried a pistol in his breast for twelve months, for the purpose of shooting Captain Meredith, bnt had never had au opportunity for carrying his intention into execution. EMIGRKTIOtiae b pM FRANCE TO CaNADA.—The Canadian News, which cb y last arrival, saps:—" Fifteen families of French far from Normandy, and fifty two i n dividuals from Belgium, have arrived to settle on govern ment lands in Lower Canada , and are only the first instal ment of a large Fre n ch emigration expected there during emigration fifteen families o the present season. I t is belie ved that from Normandy, ar e a lar g er emi from France to Canada, than has taken place in any onne year since the ' - oonquest of the province. Ex rENSIVE FIRE AT HUDDERSFIELD.—Abont half-past five o'clock on Saturday morning the extensive factory at Folly Hall, Huddersfield, the property of Mr. Joseph Kaye, builder. was discovered to be on fire. In ten minutes the flames were issuing from every window of the floor in which the conflagration commenced, and at a quarter to seven o'clock every floor of the edifice had fallen in. The walla of the building, which is a strong struc`ure of stone, are all that is now standing. The interior is a complete wreck, scarcely anything having been saved. The premiseq, though belonging to Mr. Kaye, were in the occupation •f several manufacturers. At least 300 workpeople are thrcwn out of employment by the disaster The damage is esti mated at from £12:000 to £15,000. Both owner and occupiers were to a considerable extent insured. EMIGRATION TO THE RIVER PLATE 't Letters from Buenos Apes, or. the subject of emigra tion, state that the Government are very desirous to encou rage the influx of European settlers. They offer to grant land to agriculturists, and also building plots to those who wish to establish themselves in towns. Occupation is said t_U be abundant, and a society exists to receive and shelter all persons on their arrival, until they have obtained work. Farmers, labourers, house servants, and porters are repre sented to be in great request."—Times City Article, Oct. 31, 1856. In connection with the above, we may add a few extracts from a work recently published, which will enable the in tending emigrant to gather something of the ex'raorlinary countries which now begin to excite the serious interest of Europe. We hope, when space permits, to enter into this, subject more at large; meantime, we commend it to the research and attention of all enterprising spirits. We may add that, though not essential, a knowledge of the Spanish language will facilitate the advancement of the emigrant to La Plata. I must explain (what I may presume you do not know, as I did not know it in England, or if I had known it one day should have forgotten in the next) that Monte Video is the capital town of a large district, bounded on the West by the river Uruguay, on the north and east by the province of Rio Grande of the Empire of Brazil, from which it is separated by the river Ibiary, which runs into the Uruguay. On the south it is bounded by the estuary of the Rio de la Plata. This territory is that of the Republic of Uruguay (formerly the Spanish province "of that name); it is now more usually called the Banda Oriental, as lying on the eastern bank of the Uruguay. This Republic, as also that of Paraguay, have desired to be independent of and separate from " the Argentine Confederation" of fifteen or sixteen small republics comprised under that name. Rosas wished to compel the " Orientals" into submission to his tyranny, as director of the Argentine Confederation ; so he besieged their capital (the Paraguayans were too strong for him, so he let them alone, but annoyed them and the rest of the world by shutting up the navigation of the river Parana,) and occupied their country. rninining all the estancieros by carrying off all the cattle of the states for the support of his army. The Banda :Oriental is almost one entire beautiful meadow,—it might grow corn for the whole world. The climate must be the very finest for wheat; but it has been occupied almost entirely as a pasture, covered with countless thousands of horses and oxen, while its coasts were reeking with their blood So it has pleased God to punish them— whether for not growing corn I cannot tell—but He has sent upon them war and misery ; and put a stop to the wholesale butchery of cattle by the slaughter of men. The plague of the sword is now removed, and it remains to be proved whether corn will grow. FUTURE OF EASTERN SOUTH AMERICA Now, the first grezt fact is, that here, in South America, are numberless thousands of square miles of the most splendid land in the world, for the production of every article the soil will yield to man. Here, in Brazil, and in the provinces drained by the tributaries of the La Plata, is every variety of soil—mountain, valley, plain, and torest, claimed by a race of people who, like dogs in manger, will not cultivate themselves, and yet claim a right to prevent others from doing so. What a monstrous folly, to guarantee by treaties the possession of these lands to these Iberians ! Now, one of two things will be done some day—either the industrious masses of Europe will invade these countries, and take by force what they require here for their necessities ; or these lands must be silently conquered by the slow and sure pro cess of immigration, and the present owners absorbed in the industrious race that will really people the country. Here is all this glorious continent, that has been be2.ging throa 400 years i.i) rcpleniehca, 0611 occupied only iu spots, few and far between, and these more like sore places— some skin diseases— than even rags of clothing for the earth. Before I came to this country I thought much less favoura bly of emigration, even of colonisation, than I do now. What I have seen here has opened quite a new field to my view ; what I held before (that it is our urgent duty to cultivate our own land to the highest degree) is all right ; but it is not enough, my notions were narrow; it seems to me, now even, that I see God bringing this good out of the evil of the ownership of and in England, and thus he is aciullty compelling us to go forth and replenish the earth, far and wide, instead of cramming ourselves all into our own island, and making all England one great town. The process of absorp tion of the Iberian race has given symptoms of commence ment already. There are multitudes of Irish in the Pampas, and hundreds of English in the towns (Monte Video, Buenos Ayres, Rio de Janeiro, &c.) the latter chiefly merchants. They say, however, that most of these leave the country after amassing what they may consider enough. I doubt, how ever, this of the former, for I believe these Irish to help the exodus by sending home money to their friends to bring them out, and they are well behaved, industrious people here, but the merchants all go home when they have filled their purses, except the few who are fascinated by the beau tiful girls of the River Plate, and marry them. So there is not much intermixture of blood among the better dressed class of people attached to the soil. From the Brazilian towns they all go home, frightened off by the yellow fever (which, I have no doubt, is a special curse upon negro slavery ; I do not believe it has yet appeared anywhere, except where the whites are in contact with negroes, either for the purpose of the slave trade, or for living upon the produce of slave labour ; but I may be wrong.) Perhaps, too, Brazil is too hot for the Englishman to work out of doors at present. Ido not think it would be too hot for a vegetable feeding white, but we must take John as we Slid him. However, there can be no question that Brazil may be made perfectly habitable for him, or he made a fit inhabitant for Brazil, thus—by gradual accli matisation. There is no other country in the world except Africa in which this process can be perfectly gone through, and Africa is not to be colonised by whites yet (all the negroes have to be sent back to Africa, and taught, perhaps compelled, to cultivate their continent for their own benefit). The climate of the River Plate, and the parts near it, must be the most splendid in the world, the most pleasant to a European. Here, then, on the banks of these rivers as high up as possible,—as near the heat as possible (to shorten the process and to be more central',—let the commencement be made ; and let us, generation after generation, push farther northwards, colonising ever, till our blood has become suited in our decendants to the glorious son of Brazil ; and let us make haste about it too, that we may occupy that country before all its splendid tir.i.ber has disappeared before the ruthless fire of the lazy Portuguese, who can find no means of disposing of it but burning it as it stands. From Paraguay, Brazil, and the Plate. By C. B. Mans field, Esq., M.A. With a Sketch of the Author's Life ; by the Rev. Charles Kingsley, jun. Cambridge : Mac millan and Co. In Naples there are evident signs of precautions on the part of the authorities, as though they were aware of the great excitement in the public mind. Strong parties of gendarmes now patrol the Toledo every night, and the city begins to assume a similar appearance to what it did in 1847. AUSTRIAN ITALY. —The lieutenant-general of Lombarpy and Venice has published the assessment of the taxes of the Venetian provinces for 1857. The land tax is fixed at 19 962.310 f., and the other taxes form a total of 52,012,272 f. These two sums together make about 40 per cent. of the whole annual revenue of the landed property of the kingdom. These narrow minded Clamourers—Professors who repro bate improvement and discovery as innovations—are silenoed by the most respectable part of the Faculty, who do not scruple to recommend such articles as have acquired celebrity' by their intrinsic merit. But it is a subject of regret, with all classes of the community, that the most valuable Patent and Public Medicines ara often counterfeited. JONES'S MEDICINE WAREHOUSE is established on the principle of selling Genuine Patent Medicines and Drugs only Captains of ships, officers in the army or navy ladies and gentlemen, and others, geing to a distant part of the empire, or into the country, may at all times have a large or small assortment of these Approved Medicines, safely packed, with ample directions for use, so as to go without risk to any distance, furnishing an admit.. able resource of superior and well-tried remedies alway at hand.

MANSFIELD, AN AMA zON.—William and Winifred Clarke, husband and wife, the latter a smart well-looking young woman, were charged by two police constables with having assaulted them. There was a fight i❑ Great Homer. street on Saturday night, in which the prisoners were engaged, and when the police went to quell the row, they were attacked by the prisoners, but par ticularly by the female, who "made short work" of a couple of officers, and subsequently four men were little enough to capture her. The prisoners were fined £2 each, or, in default of payment, three months' imprisonment. ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—A. man, named Samuel Reyes" was charged with assaulting Police Constable 645, in Paradise street, on Saturday night. The constable stated that about half past twelve o'clock on that night ho heard a great disturb. ance, and, on going there, be saw four or five young me❑ kicking up a row. The prisoner caught him a blow on the head with something he held in his hand, from the effects of which he fell, and, while on the ground, ho was kicked ou various parts of his body. Police constable 614 came to his assistance, and they succeeded in taking the prisoner into cus— tody. A tradesman, living in the locality, who was shutting up his shop at the time, fully corroborated the constable's statement, and the prisoner was fined £5, and in default of payment, was committed for three months. 4 William Morton was fined 40s for a similar offence, on cot stable 504, in Kent street. STABBING CASE. --john Henry Wilson, a respectable looking person, was charged with stabbing a young man, named Thomas Harrison, on the .4:h of September last. Since the occurrence the wounded man has been in the Northern Hospital, where for some time he was in great danger. From the evidence of the policeman and other witnesses, the prose cutor being in such a state of intoxication at the time of the occurrence as not to be able to know anything about the affair, it appeared that the two parties were quarrelling and fighting in Leeds-street. The prisoner was seen to take his knife from his pocket, and stab the complainant in the bowels. When taken to the hospital no less than twelve inches of the bowel was protruding. The prisoner was committed for trial at the assizes. 4 DISORDERLY SOLDIERS. —Two of the Connaught Rangers were charged with disorderly conduct and assaulting t th he e y poli cwere e in Leeds- wreet, The case being clearly proved, each committed for two months. MORE STABBING.—A foreign sailor was brought up on remand, with having, in Se p tember last, stabbed a youth, named Smith, in Frederick -street. The particulars of this case have already appeared. The evidence of the complainant and of the witnesses clearly proved the g uilt of the prisoner, but, in the consequence of the absence of an inter p reter to explain nature of the charge, the taking of the depositions, prior to committal to the assizes, was postponed. DEATH OF THE RIGHT HON. SIR JOHN lERVIS.—WO announce with regret the death of the Right Hon. Sir John Jervis, Chief Justice of the Court of althou Common Ple as . Th e e event, which took pl ace on Sunday, gh itd b expected for some time , was somewhat sudden in its manner. The late judge was fifty-four years of age. For a while he served in the army, but was subsequently, in the year 1824, called to the b r at the middle templed Chef came Justice Attorney General in 1846, and was appointed Chi of Common Pieas in July, 1850. It is expected that, as is customary in such a case, the vacant judgeship will be offered to Sir Alexander Cockburn, her Majesty's attorney general. HIGHWAY ROBBERY NEAR HALIFAX. —Shortly after six by three men, o'clock on Thursday night, Mr. Norcross Burrows, printer, Halifax, was attacked and robbed towne highway near Bradshaw, a short distance from the , having their faces blackened. Mr. Burrows is a share holder in a new mill recently built at Bradshaw lane, and it has been his practice to go to the mill every Thursday, sometimes taking with him considerable sums of money, with which to pay the contractors. He was proceeding to the mill on Thursday night on horseback, and had arrived as far a 3 the junction formed by the road leading to Illing worth Moor and Bradshaw lane, when he encoun tered the three men. One of them knocked him backward over his horse, and he alighted upon his head in the road. The other two then held him by the arms, and attempted to strangl e him with his scarf whilst the man who knocked him down held his hand over his eyes, and rifled his pockets of their contents, which, fortunately, consisted only of a few shillings, some k eys, and a knife. Disappointed at finding their booty so small, the ruffians brutally kicked him in the side. The blood flowed from his mouth, nose, and ears, and he called out for assistance. His assailants were about to give him another kick, when they heard the sound of approaching footsteps, and ran off. Mr. Burrows then endeavoured to remount his horse, which was quietly grazing at 'a little distance, but the paddle girths had been cut, and on putting his foot into the stirrup, be fell to the ground. He is very badly injured, but, it is hoped, not fatally. LIVERPOOL PRODUCE MARKET.—Nov. 3 SUGAR : There continues a good demand, and extreme rates have been paid for refining descriptions ; the sales comprise 200 hhds St. Lucia at 475, 550 bags Dates at 50s, 3,400 mats Mauritius at 43s 6d to 493, and 1,025 boxes Havana at 49s per cwt. MOLASSES : Bather more business has been done, 135 puns Antigua from the quay being reported at 24s 6d, and 400 puns Barbadoes at 24s per cwt in store. Run : Nothing has occurred.

RICE : The Arracan offered by auction this morning was not sold, but 1,000 bags Necransie have brought lOs 4&d per cwt. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET.—Nov. 3. We had a good market this day for both beef and mutton, at from 15s to 20s a head advance on beef, and rather higher prices than those of last week for sheep. Our supplies exhibit a falling off in beef, the numbers being 2,696, against 3,115 last week. The supply of sheep to day was unchanged, the quantity being 9,822. LIVERPOOL TOBACCO MARKET. (Review for the Month of October.) There has been an active demand throughout the month, a large business done, and sales may be estimated at 2,400 hhds. Of these, about 580 hhds principally Virginia leaf and stemmed, with 150 Western stemmed, were for Ire land; 200 for Scaland, mostly Virginia stripes; 340 for exportation, and the remainder including upwards of 500 Marylands to the trade. In the early part of the month telegraphic accounts arrived, stating that the known small crop in the Western States was much injured by frost. Prices of all kinds at once took a start, and as each steamer that arrived confirmed the previous news, and also stated injury to the Virginia crop, prices gradually hardened until they reached our outside quota tions, which we alter to the actual business done. High as these rates seem, several shippers are not disposed to offer their parcels at present. Marylands have also participated in the advance, and a large business done in them. But little done in substitutes. Paraguay, the only kind of which there is any stock. Three Virginia cargoes now sampled—the crop, generally, will be found of a serviceable kind, possessing strength, flavour, and condi tion. The new Western crop possesses every qualification except colour, which is good, but not bright. The James Ray, from Virginia arrived with 1,030 packages, but not included in the stock.
