FHE LIVERPOOL STAN HOMEOPITII/ homeopathy in this'town to secure the services of a house surgeon for the Liverpool Homeopathic Dispensary, Hat _. • l. .1 fora-street, MOunt-pleasant. It has been felt that an ap pointment of this kind has long beet required, as the number of poor people who now avail themselves of the benefits of the institution have increased during the few last years to so great an extent as to render it impossible for the medical officers, who have so long kindly given their services gratuitously, to attend to them. The house-surgeon will also have ample employment in visit ing at their own houses those who are unable through sickness to attend at the Dispensary. The charity ap pears to be doing much good, and upwards of thirty thousand patients have received medical treatment there since it was opened. It is hoped the institution will re ceive support from the benevolent inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood. _ THE 'CHARGE AGAINST MR. BRADLEY.—The special commission appointed to inquire into the charges made by Mr. Hodson against Mr. Bradley, in reference to his con duct at the recent election for Vauxhall Ward, met on Thursday, at the Town-hall. The prodeedings were con ducted privately, but we learn that Alderman Moore was appointed chairman. Mr. Hodson was accompanied by Mr. Oliver Holden, and stated the leading circumstances of the charge. The witnesses were Stopforth, Jones, and Ashley. Mr. Holden was examined as to the character of Stopforth, and spoke highly of his general good conduct, from having employed him for a number of years. During the inquiry Mr. Bradley complained of the mode in which it was being conducted, and alleged that he did not re ceive that consideration which he had a right to expect, considering the circumstances in which he was placed. The committee expressed their determination to conduct the inquiry, as they conceived they were doing, with strict impartiality, and the utmost consideration for Mr. Bradley consistent with what was fair and reasonable to all parties concerned. Ultimately, Mr. Bradley became so dissatisfied that he left the room before the termination of the pro ceedings. Mr. Hodson having closed his case, the com mittee adjourned until Saturday. On Saturday the whole of the committee, with the exception of Mr. J. H. Turner, attended, but, we understand, no further evidence was adduced, and the inquiry was adjourned until Tuesday week, to give Mr. Bradley full opportunity to reply. CLASSICAL CHAMBER CONCERTS.—The first of these pleasing entertainments for the season took place on Thursday evening, in the ante-room of the Philharmonic hall. The programme was of a highly inviting character, and its selection did great credit to the taste and judgment of Messrs. E. W. Thomas and B. R. Isaac, the gentle men who have orignated these concerts, under whose management they have been got up. As on other occa sions, on which first-class instrumental music was to be heard, we regret 'that the attendance on Thursday even ing was not by any means such as the selection of the music and the admirable style of its performance induced us to expect, the audience being, though highly intellient, much too limited in number. The paucity of auditors must, no doubt, in a considerable degree, 'be accounted for by the amber of musical amateurs drawn to the Theatre Royal, to witness the opera of the '" Huguenots," produced for the first time in Liverpool the same evening, a coincidence unfortunate for the opening success of these charming (concerts. The performances, 'as a whole, were Most grAifying, and produced reiterated and well-earned applause. Among the most sticeessiel displays of the evening, were the piano-forte solos of Mr. Isaac, who exhibited good taste, combined withmuch facility of exe fctition. The violin playing of Mr. Thomas was also of a high'order, showing him to be an'artist of good feeling and , culture. We hope the succeeding concerts of the 'series will meet with more general -appreciation than was 'accorded to the opening one. FRACAS IN WEST DRIIBYVA:S.D.—At the close of 'the Inunicipal election ;in West ber'hy Ward, an affray arose 'ln the interior of the polling-booth. Mr. Corkhill, uphat ssterer, Brunswicivroad. went to make some objection, when Mr. Morgan, the objenting burgess, called him a scoundrel, and Mr. Corkhill knocked him down. Mr. John Jones, the assessor, hereupodinterfered, and also received a blow. The inatter was brought before the maiiitrates on Thursday, we the comi4laint of Mr. Jones. After's, long hearing, Mr. 'Mansfield expressed it as the desire of his brother magistrates to akijoarn the matter, in nraer that they might irefully weigh the different statements, and they would-glve their 'decision on Saturday—On 'Saturday Mr. Mansfitd,*in givinglncigment, said that in this case there appeered to have been a great deal of sittr made. It was not, however, a very-serious one. They he and Mr. Stitt) were' of opinion that it had not been made out that Mr. Jones had been attacked in the discharge of his office as assessor. Had this'been so, it would hmte been a very serious matter, for an Officer in the discharge of his duty was dotibly protelted. At the close of the proceedings, at the booth, Corkhill; the defendant; believing, rightly or wrongly was 'immaterial, that personation had taken place, came in, along with Mr. Yond, to ',make a general objection. 'lt appeared that the entry was made quietly, and it was not material to ascertain whether Mr. Corkhill hada - right there or not. The presiding alderman was of opiaion that he' hid a right, and he (the alderman) was the roily person to decide in the case • --mither Mr. Jones, thrassessor, nor Mr. Morgan, the ecting burgess, had any thing to do wil2a it. .Mr. Mansfield then gave a digest of the circumstances of the case. Itwas natural that Mr. CoFkhill, on the Offensive language Attributed being used, should havd knoe-leed down Mr. Jones - ; yet still no assault could be justified except in the case , of a man being hi danger. If Mr. Zones stretched out his hands to push Mr..Corkliill out ef his path, then 'he would have com mated an assault, which Mr. C,erkhill would have been justified in resisting to a certain extent. They had it that Corkhill was in the act of committing an assault not jus tifiable by law; Wt, by the usages Of mankind, perfectly Jastifiable. The judgment of the "court must be, under the circumstances, for a nominal penalty ; Mr. Corkhill 'must pay a shillino• ' fine, and 4s. kl.vosti. ACCIDENTS .114 LIVERPOOL EMIGRANT SHIPS.—The -new ship Guiding Star, belonginr to Messrs. Millers and 'Thompson, whit& had been withdrawn from their Aus tralian line to make one voyage to 'America and back, took 'her departure fnem the Mersey on' the 17th ult., with up wards of 450 passengers on board,.nnder the command of 'Captain R. D. Robertson. She encountered light and "baffling winds up to Sunday, the 30th ult., but managed to make very fair progress. At noon of that day the wind freshened from the southwest. At four, p.m., the .vessel was off the Fastnett Rock, whichbore N.N.E. three miles, the breeze still increasing, with a' heavy head sea, and the glass falling very fast. The weather continued to get worse and worse, and at eleven, p.m., it was' blowing a heavy gale from the southwest, with a tremendous sea pitching inTrom all quarters. During the gale it carried away her fore.and maintopsail yards, main topmast, and main yard. On 'Mon day, the weather. moderating, Capt. Robertson determined to put back to-Liverpool to replacerthe lost spars, and for that purpose the ship's head was turned up the Channel again. It had reached to within ten miles S.S.E. of the Calf of Man, When the wind veered round to the S.E., 'blowing a strong 'breeze. As 'it was . impossible to reach Liverpool in the face of such winds, Captain Robertson :determined to bear up for Belfast Lough, where the vessel arrived on Friday evening. Cholera had broken out-on board, and seven , deaths occurred up to that time. This -number was subsequently augmented to .thirteen. The 'condition of the poor passengers was most pitiable, but-the Authorities of Belfast behaved most humanely, taking all -the survivors that were discovered ashore, and placing them in the hospital. The Guiding Star arrived here on Thursday evening, ;in tow of a steamr•tug, from Belfast, ;and proceeded, on Fixiday night, into Wdllington Dock, to olischarge and refit. On Friday, about 400 of the pas •sengers were brought on shore by two steam-tugs. She shad been previously boarded by Captain •Schomberg, the •gavernment emigration agent, who informed them .that 'suitable accommodation would be provided at the Work house. The majority, however, rejected that public hos pitality, and betook themselves to private lodging henses.—The Kossuthovhich sailed hence for New York, on-the 24th ult., with 669 souls on board, put into Queens town on Monday week, ,with the cholera on board. It broke' out among the German emigrants two days after she eft port, and 18 or 20: deaths had occurred up to the time of her putting into Queenstown. The inhabitants of that place were , naturally much alarmed lest the fearful epidemic should extend to the shore, but the authorities having taken active precautionary measures, by placing the survivors in a quarantine hulk, the anxiety has abated, and the poor passengers themselves are recovering. Dock COMMITTEE.—Mr. r. Shand presided at the weekly meeting on Thursday, when Mr. Charles Turner was unauimously re-appointed .chairman for the ensuing year. Messrs. J. Holme, Holden, Tobin, Gregson, and Molyneux, the representatives ,elected by the Town Council en othe previous day, were re-appointed members of the sub-committees on which they had formerly acted. After a disev_ssion respecting some improvements in the upper rooms of the building, a plan was submitted by the sub-committee of warehouse-management for giving addi tional warehouse room at the Albert Dock, by filling up the south-west •end, at an estimated .cost of £4,357. — Mr. Robinson said if the plan was adopted it would give 819 additional sqv.are yards of storage-recur at the south west corner of the dock, where there was some vacant land at present unemployed ; and as their warehouses were now overcrowded with produce, he thought it very important that the improvements should be made. It was also stated that the outlay would be repaid in three years.—The sum of £3O was granted to the 'widow and family of the late Mr. Gordon, who had been in the em 'ploy of the committee at a salary of £BO per annum. A letter was read from Mr. Charles M'lver to the fallowing 'effect :—" Will you ask the committee whether they will grant me, on any terms, the exclusive use of a large-sized graving-dock? It is quite plain to me that we shall re quire one ere twelve months are over." The letter was sent back to the harbourmasters' committee, who were directed to ,Appoint a deputation to have an interview with Mr. M'lver on the subject. Mr. Malcomson thought it was ' well worth the consideration of the committee, whether they ought not to build some new graving-docks, as they were now so much required. Mr. Lockett and Mr. Rankin agreed with Mr. Malcomson as to the necessity, it being well known that the repairs for large steam vessels could not be done in Liverpool except in the Huskisson Dock. Mr. Holme was of the same opinion, and as they knew that so many large steamers were being built they should anticipate what was wanted, or other ports would take away the trade of the town--A letter was read from the captain of the Maltese brig the Tiger, which had accidentally received some injury in the dock, praying the committee to waive the half of their claim against him, amounting to £22 ss. 3d., which was understood to be refused.—A letter was next read from Mr. Raines, enclosing a memorial, signed by numerous respectable residents on both sides of the river, praying that, as sundry alterations were contemplated on the dock pro perty about Nova Scotia and George's Dock, a direct approach might be made to the landing-stage. They prayed that a fixed and permanent roadway, without any bridge, might he made, or that the distance between the bridges might be shortened ; and they further suggested that a high-level footpath should be made from James street to near the landing-stage. Mr. Lockett said if they provided carriages for the people it would perhaps satisfy them. Mr. Holme thought they ought to answer the memorial by putting a toll on the landing-stage, which had been one of the greatest accommodations ever pro vided for the public. At the same time he thought some improvements might be made, particularly in the paving, which was at present very bad. It was stated that part of the property belonged to the corporation, but orders had been given that that portion of it belonging to the Dock Estate should be repaired. It was ordered that the memorialists should be informed that the subject would be taken We consideration. )ARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER GEN - BR.

DEATH OF ADMIRAL NESMAM.—Admiral Christopher John Williams Nesham died on the Rh instant, at Ex mouth, at the advanced age of 95 years. He entered the navy in January, 1782, as first-class volunteer, on board the Juno, frigate, and in June in the following year was present as midshipman in the action fought between Sir Edward Hughes and M. de Suffrein, of Cuddalore. Ad miral Nesham received the War Medal in 1849, with two bars for Camperdown and Martinique. _ _ Foomsu FREAK.—On Tuesday, Mr. D. Thomas, of Newcastle, took his boat, the Faugh-a-Ballag,h, and en deavoured to go over the falls above Newcastle-Emlyn bridge, in the river Tivy, which had swollen very much on account of the late heavy rains. As he was in the act of going over the falls his boat was upset; he, however, succeeded in getting on the bottom of it, and was carried in this manner some way down the river, when the boat stuck on a piece of rock, and Mr. Thomas safely landed. NIVERSITY.- OUR FtriußE SEAMEN.—Seamen and boys under train ing are now sent out every week for gun and general exercise, cruising between the Nore and the Mouse. A target being placed at a distance of six hundred yards from mid-channel, the boys are engaged as helmsmen, leadsmen, and captains of the gun (an eighteen-pounder) in turn. Their progress in gunnery is the admiration of their officers. On repeated occasions the target has been shot away by the second shot laid by the boy gunners.

Two HUNDRED MILES IN A QUARTER Or AN HOUR. — Mr. Richardson has satisfied our capitalists that it is entirely practicable to build an atmospheric tube from New York to Boston (200 miles) through which mail bags or parcels of any description may be regularly, certainly, and safely sent in fifteen minutes. He has perfectly obviated the most apparent difficulty, which consisted in the colli sion of the parcel despatched on reaching its termination. This he has accomplished by the counter pressure, arising from the elasticity of unexhausted air, thereby reducing the shock until it becomes absolutely imperceptible. A con siderable part of the stock for the building of this mail tube has already been subscribed. — Times' Correspondent. FOREIGN CRIMINALS IN PARlS.—Amongst the natives of foreign countries arrested for crime of some kind or other in Paris during the last year (1852), there were only thirty-three natives of Great Britain—a very small num ber indeed, when the large number of English who visited and resided in that capital is taken into account; and which, as compared with the proportion of natives of other countries arrested for crime, gives us no cause to be ashamed of our national character. Of other foreigners arrested, the following numbers are given : Belgians, 441; Saxon Germans, 314; • Hollanders, 136 ; Prussians, 106 ; Swiss, 104 ; Italians, 84 ; Bavarians, 65 ; Austrians, 39 ; Poles, 36 ; Spaniards, 29 • Hessians, Hungarians, Danes, of each 16 ; Swedes, 14 ; Persians, 5 ; Egyptians and Greeks, of each 2; and one Turk. PHYSICAL DEGERmartincr IN PurstriA..—The last bal letings for recruits, or relief men, for the Prussian active army, have disclosed some remarlible and interesting facts, which show a falfing off in the City of Berlin in the height, health, an 'conformation of "the male population. It appears from 'the statistical tables, that 10,323 adults, between the ages'of 20 and 2 1 4, were liable to ball,* for the classes of 1'853; of which number 946, or about one tenth, were retired for the contingent. But if 'the 10.323 above mentioned, 4,957 or nearly half, were acclarea unfit for service ; and when the ballot took place, 2 , 19'0ut of the quota of 946, or nearly - .TA per cent., were 'rejected from physical defect or shortirtature. SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.—OR Wednesday the following extraordinary explosion occurred in the dwelling:house of Mr. J. B. Buckstone, in .Suffolk-street, Pall-mall East, adjoining the Haymarket theatre. For some time pa.4t a number of men have been repairing and painting it. They tiperienced a strong smell, as if the gas were escaping, when one of the men who was standing•oni board'swung about midway between the flooring and the ceiling drew a congreve match across the .upper part of the van, when a loud explosion took place.. The windows wert forced out, three the painters at work hall their clothes set on fire, 'and a number of vessels containing turpentine and oil were soon in a blaze. The screams of the - men brought assistance to the spot, and after some trouble the flames were extinguished. It was then 'found that the three men 'were much burnt, two •so seriously that it was deemed prudent to remove them to the 'Charing-cross Hospital. _ _ Auftiisr on t § - orinkr.—A case came before the Court nf Queen's Bench ?last week, in which 'a writ of habeas icorpus had been issued by Mr. Justice Crompton, direct ing the keeper of Stafford gaol to 'bring up the body of , one Eggington, in order that he might •be discharged, upon the ground that he had been:illegally arrested, as he was taken upon a Sunday. The gaoler, in his return, stated that, after the prisoner's arrest, a 'second warrant had been issued by the justices of Liehfield, under which he was now detained. Mr. Gray contended that the return was no answer to the writ, as the gaoler could not take advantage of the illegal custody of the prisoner to detain him under a new warrant. Mr. Pashley, in support of the return, submitted that, as the prisoner had been arrested and kept in custody in consequence of his alleged illegal detention of certain books and - papers, the dharge against him was of a criminal, and not of a civil, nature, and he was, therefore, 'not privileged from arrest on a Sunday. Mr. Cole, on the part of the Town Council of Lichfield, which had instituted the proceedings against the prisoner, also supported the return. Lord Campbell was of opinion that the prisoner ought to be discharged, on the ground that the commitment was not for any indictable offence, and, therefore, the warrant under Whi c h he was arrested ought not to have been executed on a Sunaday. It necessarily followed that the detention under the second warrant was illegal, the arrest under the first warrant having been illegal. The other learned judges concurred. Rule absolute for a habeas corpus. SUICIDES IN PARlS.—Suicides in Paris continue to be frequent. One, which occurred on Thursday, was attended with singular circumstances. A young man, M. Augustus D---, living in the Rue St. Denis, employed in a mer cantile firm, did not appear at his office at the usual hour. His employer went to see after him, and learned from the concierge that he had gone out shortly before finely dressed. The following morning he again absented him self from his duty, and his employer went again to seek after him. The concierge told him that he was in his own room. He went up, but received 'no reply to his knocks. The employer then sent for the youth's father, and the door was opened. He was found lying dead in the bed—he had committed suicide by means of the fumes of charcoal. A letter, addressed to his father, left open on a table, requested that no attempt should be made to discover his reason for committing suicide—it was, he said, a secret, and should die with him. It turned out, on inquiry that, after leaving home grandly dressed, he went to pay visits to all his friends. They asked him if he were engaged to figure in any important ceremony, since he was so fine ; but he gaily answered, Oh, dear, no! The whim of going to see all my friends seized me, and I am come to shake your hand !" In the evening he went to his café, -and played at cards as gaily as usual until ten o'clock. He then went to a hairdresser's shop, and had his hair cut and dressed. On going home, he carefully pasted paper ,over the crevices of the door, win dows, &e., of his room, to prevent the entrance of the 'slightest portion of air ; and he then lighted the pass of 'charcoal which he had previously prepared.—Another young man, a shopman employed in a linen-draper's establishment, also committed suicide the same day by means of charcoal in his 'lodgings in the Rue Blanche. To prevent any pain lie stupified himself by drinking the liquor produced by boiling down a quantity of poppies.— PUBLIC HEALTIL—LEAD, COPPER, OR ZINC PIPES.— The minister of commerce, agriculture, and public works in France, has just issued a circular to all prefects, calling upon them to put a stop to the use of lead, copper, or zinc pipes in breweries. The minister in his circular states that " experience proves that beer, by simple contact with lead, takes up an appreciable quantity of the metal, and thus acquires poisonous properties." Leaden pipes are not only used in breweries, but a custom has arisen in taverns, and in houses where wine is sold, of using a small pump, which communicates with the barrels in the cellar by means of a leaden pipe. The use of the pipe in this instance is peculiarly objectionable, inasmuch as the action of the pump is at intervals only. A whole family was poisoned by using for some time a pump of this kind for drawing up their 'ordinary consumption of wine.—Journal of the Society of Arts .—ln Midsummer, last year, a clvdp fnr Tiin Bun/firma MIIRDER.—The inquiry into the cir cumstances attending this dreadful tragedy having been •adjourned from Friday until ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, at that hour the proceedings were, for the third time, resumed before Mr. Chearsley, the coroner, and a highly respectable jury, at the Mil e -h ouse , a small hostel rie on the Old Bath-road, about one mile from the Maidenhead station of the Great Western railway, and half that distance from the scene of the murder—the Old Abbey farm. Moses Hatto, the young man charged with being concerned in the inhuman deed, has remained in custody at the Eton lock-up since Friday. He made no .allusion to the murder in his conversation with the officers appointed to watch him, nor has his manner dis closed any , thing calculated to fix with certainty the dreadful crime upon him. Inspector Langley, of the London detective police, has succeeded in tracing Hatto to have gone to the Maidenhead railway station on the Monday night after the murder, between ten and eleven o'clock, for the alleged purpose of inquiring for a parcel which he says he , expected. To go there he used one of his master's saddle horses ; and it is now conjectured that while absent he may have taken opportunity to dis pose in some manlier of the missing property or any other articles the possession of which might infer a guilty knowledge. It is a lamentable fact that every opportunity seems to have been given the murderer to escape. Although within twenty miles of the metropolis, and four of the royal borough of Windsor, news of the tragedy occurring on Tuesday night did not reach either place until the following Thnrsday. It is not too much to say, therefore, that all the intervening time might have been devoted by the guilty party to destroy the traces of his crime. The removal of the prisoner on Tuesday morning occasioned considerable excitement in Eton and the neighbourhood. He WAS conveyed handcuffed in a light chaise cart, between the superintendents of the Eton and Slough police. The route through the village of Burn oided ha , mAbbe st y ate P o e f the i Farm .was habitants purposely the district, who, it is said, are so satisfied of H a tt o ' s avoided, d g guilt that, if set down amongst them, he could not to pae th t e tb excited e pos sibly escape "lynching." Hatto is a man of small sta ture, but of well-knit frame, with a countenance rather pleasing than otherwise. On reaching the Mile-house he got out of the police cart with a light step, and held his manacled hands aloft with an expression of bravado. The jury having answered to their names, several further circumstances of a minute and comparatively trifling na ture in themselves — the principal of which was the finding of some spots of blood on Hatto's hat—were deposed to by the witnesses. on their re - examination. From the evidence it appeared, that if the prisoner had been in his own room (as he avers he was) during the perpetration of the horrid deed, he could not have avoided hearing the struggling, scuffling, and running, which it was but too apparent, had preceded the close of the fearful tragedy. It is also said that he had made overtures of affection to the victim of the barbarity, which sh e re j ec t e d, as coming from one in an inferior position of life to her own. After all the witnesses had been examined, and the coroner had summed up, the room was cleared, and after a lapse of about ten minutes, on the court being re-opened, the fore man announced that the jury were unanimous in finding a verdict of wilful murder against Moses Hatto. The verdict appeared to have been anticipated by the majority of those present, and it was stated that the prisoner ma nifested no surprise on the fact being communicated to him. The usual warrant of committal having been pre pared by Mr. Chearsley, Hatto was conveyed, in custody of superintendents 13YmingtOn and Thomas, to AyiesbarY gaol, there to await his trial at the ensuing assizes.

'EXTRA ORDINAIRY TRINSA CTION. —An extraordinary transaction took place on Wednesday week, at the Red Lion Inn, in this town. Two travelling hawkers, with their wives, and some other persons, were drinking toge ther, when the conversation turned upon the proceedings at the fair on 'the previous Monday, and the merits and qualifications of the men's wives became also the subject of discussion. The debate was waning strong, when a man, who formed 'one of the company, apparently enamoured with the appearance of the women, expressed a wish to purchase them. The husbands at once assented to the proposition, and a bargain was struck. The price fixed for one was a, and for the other 10s. The money was in stantly paid by the buyer, and so far as he was concerned thelnatecr was settled. ie parties continued to sit and enjoy themselves, but at length their husbands deemed it necessary to take their leave of the town. At this point, however, a most langhable scene occurred. The women declared they were not beasts, and would not be sold es such, and determined to follow their hus bands. The purchaser .asserted they were his property, and he would stick to them. The women, however, were resolute, and the man, finding that he was in a fair way of losing them, wished to withdraw his bargain. To t this the husbands would not agree, and they departed, heir wives taking care to follow them, leaving the buyer a poorer but a wiser man.—Cheltenham Journal. DEATII BY EATING Morse's-HOOD FOR HORSERADISII. —Considerable•exeitement has been created in Bristol by a case of poisoning of a somewhat extraordinary descrip tion. Some time .since Mr. Joseph Russell, a wine mer chant at Bristol, died, bequeathing, among other legacies, 'one to a distant relative, named also Joseph Russell, a bookseller, residing at Chard, Somersetshire, and who came to Bristol respecting it. On Sunday he dined with one of his brothers, a coachmaker resident in Bristol, and partook of some roast beef, he being in excellent health. As he remarked that roast beef was nothing without horseradish, his brother's wife stated that there were some horseradish roots in the garden, and the servant was sent to dig up one. The root was scraped in the usual manner, dressed with vinegar, and placed on the table ; both his brother and the deceased partook of it. Soon after dinner, Joseph Russell complained of a peculiar tingling sensation in his hands and arms, and this feeling rapidly increased till he said he felt it creeping round his neck. He rapidly sank, and died in about an hour afterwards. The other brother, who had taken much less of the supposed horse radish, was much affected, bat is now recovering. On an examination it was found the root was the aconitum napellus (wolf's =bane, or monk's-hood), which, particularly at this season of the year, strongly resembles horseradish, but which is a strong narcotic poison. We believe we are right in stating that this is only the second case known of a person having been thus poisoned. The other and first case is recorded by Dr. Pereira. BALDERDASH OF RELIC WORSHIP.—The following specimen of rhapsodical and blasphemous trash is from the sermon of Dr. Wiseman at Amiens, on the occasion of the " translation" of the relics of St. Theodosia :—" Along those obscure corridors, in those mysterious caverns, of , the catacombs of St. Hermes, I hear resounding, but with sweeter accents far, that same powerful voice which shall one day raise the dead from the depth of their graves : Consurge, consurge, executere de pulvere, converge solve vincula colli tui, captina, ilia Sion. ' Arise, arise, shake thyself from that sacred dust in which thou hast reposed for fifteen hundred years in the arms of that affectionate mother, the eternal depository of the faith and its faithful witnesses. Break, daughter of Amiens, the bonds of thy sweet captivity in the land of thy former enemies. Bid adieu to thy blessed companions in the dormitories of the just ; for consecrated hands have sought and received thy sacred ashes, and borne them back with joy and love to thy native soil Come Theodosia, come to gladden us by thy presence, but come likewise to our help, in order that our triumph may be worthy of thee. Display thy power, that is, the power of Jesus Christ, which mani fested itself even in the ashes of His martyrs. Call together then, in thy name, an assemblage of venerated bishops, who form a majestic procession in honour of thy holy remains. Cause them to assemble, not only from our dear France and from Belgium, countries so fruitful in ecclesiastical virtues ; but also from Ireland, ever faith ful to her God and her faith, despite ages of suffering and persecution ; and from England, still struggling with the powers of the world; from the western shores of Guada loupe ; from the centre of Asia; from the extreme limits of eastern Siam ; from the bounds of that vast ocean which the fleets of the ancient world never visited, but where, nevertheless, the banner of the cross has been planted by the intrepid missionaries of France on the summit of their highest mountains. Call the pastors of the church, and they will obey thy voice." LOVE AND DEATIL—An event of a most painful and melancholy nature has just occurred in a small village in Cornwall. A young woman respectably connected, named Ellen Macartney, by trade a milliner and dressmaker, was engaged to a young man about her own age, named Thomas Hardy Aldis, who was an assistant to a provision dealer in a town a few miles distant. The courtship— which is described as having been an uninterrupted source of happiness, and which appears to have given the utmost satisfaction to the friends on both sides—had extended over a period of something under seven years, and both the sued and the suitor having saved a sufficient sum of money to commence house furnishing, and to set up in a business as a small grocer and provision dealer, an early day was named for their nuptials. A house was looked at and approved of—wedding garments were examined and chosen—friends of the bride from a distance were invited and promised to come—the license was applied for and obtained—cards, gloves, dresses, bridecake, everything arrived as ordered, and "all went happy as a marriage bell." The father of the betrothed was to give her away at church —her brother was to officiate as groomsman, and the sister of Aldis was bespoken as bridesmaid. The young couple were greatly respected, and everybody looked forward to the day that should unite until death those who through life had been so faithful and so true. The fated day arrived. The sun shone joyously out, and the village gossips were up betimes to record every circumstance connected with the interesting event. Half-past seven o'clock came, but no bridegroom—" How late he was, an uncommon • thing for him." Ellen's uncle, a neighbouring farmer, alighted at the door, and taking the bride aside, pressed into her hands a bank note for 201. Eight o'clock was here, but What could be the matter ? Had n o t no bridegroom — " some one better go in quest of him ?" A messenger hurried in from the church to say the clergyman was waiting. Hope had given way to anxiety —now anxiety was sup planted by fear. " Something very serious must have taken place--what could it be ?" A strange presentiment took possession of all present. He had been murdered or wa s ill. But in the latter case, " some one would have been sent to say so." All was mystery and disappointment. There was no alternative,the ceremony "must be deferred," and then came on that anxious yearning which maketh the heart sick. The symbols of married bliss were hastily laid aside, and an envoy, the girl's uncle, started to ascertain the cause of the truant's absence, In about three hours he returned to the residence of his niece, with the intelli gence that Aldis had left his employer's house at six o'clock that morning, since which time nothing had either been seen or heard of him. The day wore on heavily, and no tidings were received of the "lost one." The next day came and went, and yet not a line, not a word arrived to clear up the extraordinary and unaccountable mystery. . Ellen, all this while, had been growing p aler and paler I still. Like Rachel, she refused to be comforted. F oo d was spurned ; she secluded herself in her room, and wept such tears as are known only to the angels, and those who, like her, have been compelled to drink of that bitter cup whose ingredients are unto death. Early on the morning of the fourth day from that on which the marriage was appointed to take place, poor Ellen Macartney was found cold and lifeless floating upon the top of a mill-dam, a few yards from her own door—a photographic miniature of her lover suspended round her neck ! Nothing has yet been heard of Aldis. The village is hi a st a t e o f the - greatest excitement—Hull Advertiser. HORRIBLE MIIRDEB excitement by the perpetration of - a horribl committed on a girl ;bout 12 years old, named Cole, resided with her mother (who is a widow) and brot lad about 17. On Tuesday the mother and brother went out to work, and left the girl at home in care of a lonely cottage, situated in the parish of Cutcombe, near Punster, Somerset. There are two dwellings under the same roof ; the other being occupied by an old woman more than 80 years of age, who, on Tuesdey morning, about ten o'clock, saw a young man named Baily in the house with the girl. He soon after left the house, and did not again return. On the return of the mother and brother they made a search for the girl, and at last found her in an old barn by, with I- - 'hroat cut, and quite dead. The man close ner t Bailv is in custody.

So great, indeed, is the demand in Gateshead for wives, that a young widow, who lost her husband by the epidemic in September, was nominated on Sunday in our parochial church as the bride elect of a young bachelor ! There is a line in Haftzlet which will rise to the reader's mind; but, before he quotes it, let him listen to the recital of another domes" the occurrence of Sunday. There was once a explosion on the Tyne, and many lives were 1,,v1;.a a flip apati could nit be recovered in coalmine sacrificed weeks had passed away ; and the corpse of one married man, when it was carried home, found the widow lying by the side of another husband! She had wedded her new spouse before burying his predecessor. Shakspere " ex hausted worlds, and then imagined new ;" but he never dreamt of "the marriage baked meats coldly furnishing forth the burial tables !" Real life is more than a match for fiction,—Gateshead Observer. A DANGEROUS SOURCE OF INFECTION. - Our attention La been called to a dangerous source of disease which has hitherto escaped the notice of the conservators of public health in seaport towns. From his statement it would seem that when a seaman dies during a voyage either at sea or in any port, his property, consisting of a chest of clothing, and perhaps some bedding, is secured, scaled up, and tarried back to the port whence he shipped, and there handed over to the shipping master, who retains it until the claim of the relatives to receive it is clearly 'established, when it is given up. It is well known that sailors are a migratory class of men, and in the majority of cases ship from ports in which they have no relations. The conse quence is, that quantities of unclaimed property are con stantly accumulating in the hands of shipping masters, and are kept lying over for years without being exposed to the air. The original owners of this property have died of every description of known and unknown diseases, in various quarters of the world, some of these diseases perhaps of a most malignant and contagious character ; and when to this is added the fact that bundles of dirty clothing are thus - kept, in a state calculated to induce dis- MAP_ the &weer will be at once apparent. The opening of a bale of goods has been known to carry with it disease and death to an alarming extent into a community, and nothing less might be expected from the opening up a package of wearing apparel that had lam long over in an unwashed state. T his subject, then, is one worthy of the notice of sanitary committees, and if the allegation prove correct that a dangerous stock of the kind referred this lodged in the hands of shipping masters calculated to en danger the health of seaport communities, then is it time that they should interpose the in authonty which is vested in them by Act of Parliament searching out and put ting an end to the evil.—North British Daily Mail. SELECTION OF THE WELLINGTON 'MEMORIAL FOR 31.1.NcliEsami.—On Friday week the judges appointed by the Wellington memorial committee the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Manchester, the Right Hon. the Earl of Ellesmere, and the Right Hon. the Earl of Wilton—pro ceeded to the suite of rooms forming the south gallery of the Royal Manchester Institution, which were filled with the competing models for the Manchester memorial to the late Duke of Wellington, and, after a careful examination of the whole, gave their united judgment in favour of the model No. 7. On opening the letter superscribed with the sculptor's mark—an inverted triangle within a double ring —the name of the successful artist was found to be Mr. Matthew Noble, of London, the same sculptor upon whom, in competition, the choice fell in the award of the committee for the Salford statue to Sir Robert Peel, now placed in Peel-park. The endeavour in this design has been to take a higher and more comprehensive view of the subject than is given in memorials of the kind. This view, it is hoped, has been realised in representing the duke in his civil as well as military capacity, by personifying those salient qualities and results through which he attained so high a position in life, and influenced the destinies of so many nations ; and by illustrating five of the chief crowning events in his public career, through which, in the twofold capacity named, he will be best and most illustriously known to posterity. The salient qualities re ferred to are Wisdom and Valour. They are personified in the design by the figures of Minerva and Mars, composed in such a way as to impart to the mind a high and honourable feeling. The results of these great qualities were Victory and Peace—the victory of Britain over her foes, and a peace given to Europe perhaps unparalleled in history. These two main results are personified by an abstract figure of each, designed to correspond and accord in sen timent with the two former figures. Of the chief events in the public life of Wellington, illustrated in the design, four are represented in bas-reliefs on the large plinth sup porting the column, giving respectively the battl e o f Assaye, the battle of Waterloo (in each of which the duke is seen on horseback, and in the first with the horse just shot under him), his presence at the congress at Vienna, and his receiving in person the thanks of the House of Commons, on the memorable occasion in the year 1814. On the summit of the column is placed a colossal statue of the great duke himself, designed to give an idea of the moment when he stood erect and calm after having de livered the following impressive words in the House of Lords:—" I am one of those who have probably passed a longer period of my life engaged in war than most men, and principally in civil war ; and I must say this, that if I could avoid, by any sacrifice whatever, even one month of civil war in the country to which I am attached, I would sacrifice shy life in order to do it :" words not likely to be soon forgotten. In a small design of this kind there is of course little more than a bare idea of the intention given. LORD MA.You's DAY.—The customary inauguration of the Lord Mayor of London city took place on Wednes day, with even more than the usual amount of pomp a n d pageantry. The absence of any display last year, owing to the then recent demise of the Duke of Wellington,i and the extreme fineness of the weather ' combined to render the pageant of Wednesday one of the most successful that has taken place for some years past. The number of spectators was far greater than usual. The " show"— thanks to the co-operation of Mr. Cooke, of Astley's Amphitheatre—was well arranged; and the good humour everywhere prevailing left nothing to be desired. The novel part of the procession, in which Mr. Cooke's equestrian troupe was seen to very great advantage, ex cited general admiration. One of his best riders, attired in handsome Tyrolese habit, mounted on a beautiful pie bald charger, and bearing the banner of " Peace," led the way. He was immediately followed by a car drawn by six fine horses, three a-breast, on which was mounted, at a. considerable height, a female in white classic robe, balanc ing scales in her hand, having before her a city mace, and, though rather pretty looking, "as stern as Justice." Then came horsemen clothed in the garb of different nations, a varied and interesting sight. There was a groan at the Russian, which the Turk mistook for him self, and turned round to see from whom it proceeded, but this resulted in a loud and enthusiastic cheer. The Chinese participated in the good wishes of the spectators, and seemed proud of it. The representatives of North and South America were amusingly tattooed, and occa sioned much merriment. What, however, brought the laughter of the people to a climax was the Australian digger, with his red woollen smock, his sunburnt counte nance, his huge over-grown' beard, about to split asunder, with his pickaxe, a gigantic piece of quartz. Last of all in this troupe came " Peace and Prosperity," two young females, appropriately attired, and mounted to a large globe, which was drawn by nine horses, three a-breast. The Lord Mayor was very well received all along the line of the procession. Flags were suspended across Thames street, and every house and warehouse was thronged with spectators. The embarkation in the civic barges having been effected, they were taken in tow by above-bridge, steamers, which brought them up the river to West minster, where the Lord Mayor and sheriffs, and the leading officers of the corporation, landed, and proceeded into the Court of Exchequer. After the customary formula had been gone through, the judges of the various courts were invited to the banquet at Guildhall, by 2 r e Recorder, in the names of the chief magistrate and Alderman and Sheriff Wire. The civic authorities then re-embarked, and returned by water to Blafkfr b where the land procession was re formed,- and hav ingd received an important a 4it.ii i the personer of the Lady Mayoress, proceeded, m a ' mid ema tions of an enormous crowd of The banquet took place in the Guildhall. There was one deviation, however , , from established custom. Hitherto the invitations ran in the name of the lord mayor and s sheriffs ; but this year the sheriffs has declined t o . contrib n te to the civic hospitality, and the invitations were therefore issued in the name of the lord mayor and Alderman and Sheriff Wire. A little before seven o'clock the lord mayor, in full municipal costume, and preceded by his mace and swordbearer and other civic officials, the principal officers of the household following in his train, walked in procession through Guildhall, and, amid the cheers of the company, took his seat on the dais. The members of the Government, as they entered, were re ceived with great cordiality. On the right of the lord mayor were the late lord mayor, the lord chancellor, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl of Clarendon Lord John Russell, Lord C ann i ng, M r. Sheriff Wire mid Mrs. Wire, Lord Palmerston, Sir Charles Wood, Sir James Graham, the American minister, the Danish chargé d'affaires, the minister of Paraguay. On the left, the lady mayoress, the late lady mayoress, the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, Lord and Lady Manderville, Sir William Moles worth, &c. Among the company were Lord Hatherton, Mr. Cardwell, Sir John Patteson, Mr. M. T. Baines, M.P., Sir John Pakington, M.P., Mr. Walpole, M.P., Mr. Cornewall Lewis, Sir C. G.

ONE hundred plaints were heard yesterday, but: scarcelj y of the cases were possessed of public interest - -HEWITT V. ALLEGED PALS WAINNVEIGII,T. -- This was an action by Mr. HE 'CATION OF AC Hewitt to recover a sum of £3 135:10d., fc Wainwright, who appeared for the an account book, to show that the greater part of the money had been already paid. His Honour, on closely examining the books, said that he found that there were two places in the pounds column where the figures had been scratched out, and a£l inserted. On this he gave immediate judgment for the plaintiff, and said he was not quite satisfied that he should not direct Mrs. Wainwright into custody, as there had been apparent forgery. Prompt payment was ordered. NEGLECT TO GIVE CIIANGE.—THOMPSON v. HALL.— The plaintiff, Captain Thompson, is a master mariner of this port; Mr. Hall, the defendant, a butcher at North Shields, and. the action was brought to recover £5 and costs, under the following transaction :—The plaintiff had a chronometer to dispose of, and the defendant wished to purchase one for his brother, who is a master mariner. They met together at Mr. Daniell's shop, when £27 was asked. Defendant agreed to give that amount. He paid 'him £3, and taking the other two sovereiins - with him wrapped up in the notes. On getting to the George Hotel, he recollected that the sixth note 'had not been paid over, and he then went, accompanied. by detective officer Murphy, in search of the defendant, whom they found at Harrison's public-house, opposite the Custom House, and who said that he had paid the full amount, although he did not, as requested, count over the money that he had in his pockets, alleging that he was ignorant of what sum he had on setting out in the morning. The case was undefended, and a verdict was given for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. A FRENCH PIWT . OGRAPIIER.—A young Frenchman, named Ernest Farr i ngton de Bouglinval, summoned Mr. Parsons, photographic artist, of Bold-street, for £3, being a month's wages for service. He also claimed for some portraits and music, his property, which Mr. Parsons re tained ; but, he being a minor, this portion of his claim could not be entertained. It appeared that, in April last, the defendant was in want of an assistant, when the plaintiff, then in Paris, was engaged to him by his father. He was to be boarded in Mr. Parsons' house, and to be paid from 15s. to 305., according to the talent which he might exhibit. He entered on the service on the Ist of April, and on the Ist of May was paid £3, being at the rate of 15s. a week. On the 20th of May the plaintiff returned home at ten o'clock at night, when he found that his master had locked the door on him. The plaintiff, in examination, stated that the likenesses he took had been found fault with, but that the defendant's apparatus was imperfect. On cross-examination by Mr. Hime, who appeared for the defendant, he stated that he had gone, when with Mr. Parsons, under a wrong name. Questions were then put, with a view to show that after the month had expired a fresh engagement was made with him; by which he was to be paid only for the pictures that —By mutual consent, after the case had DrO• knother he coloured. ceeded a certain length, it was left to the arbitration of the French consul A LANDLORD'S LxAnurry.--Mr. Rawle, of Kensing ton-terrace, Upper Parliament -street summoned Mr. Stephen Fletcher, his landlord, f or £1 18s. 3d., the amount of bills paid for repairing gas pipes, opening the pipe of the water-closet, &e. Mr. Rawle stated that on the 22nd of December last •he became a tenant of Mr. Fletcher. The house was £46 a-year rent, and he was told, on taking it, that it was in perfect order, and that gas and water were laid in every room. He found, however, that the gas pipes were not connected with the main pipe, and that they also leaked, so much as to require extensive repairs. He sent for workmen to the office of the Gas Company, and had been charged for their services £1 Bs. The defendant on complaint afterwards sent one of his own workmen to open out the pipe of the water closet, which was filled with shavings, but for that the man charged him (the plaintiff) 10s. As the evidence was defective in some material particulars, the case was postponed. CLAIM AGAINST AN AucTioNEEn,—AdamDoyle, cotton waste dealer, summoned Mr. Joseph Parker, inctioneer, for £2105., the value of an iron chain which he alleged that he had bought, but which had not been delivered. A sale, it appeared, took place in December last, at the office of Messrs. Johnston, at which the plaintiff was a pur chaser. One of the lots that he so bought consisted, according to the catalogue, of " cotton waste, isinglasss, pumice -stone, and brown paper, &c., &c." He had pre viously inspected the lots as arranged at some premises that had been burned down in Leeds-street, and with the lot in question at that time was an iron cable chain, the non-delivery of which formed the ground of the present action. It was alleged for the defence that the chain was never intended to be sold, and that this had been inti mated to intending purchasers on their inspection of the goods. That more satisfactory evidence on that point might be supplied, his Honour adjourned the case till the 25th instant. The court rose soon after four o'clock. COURT AND FASHION. THE COURT. — Wednesday was the birthday of the Prince of Wales. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester is better ; the cough has abated, and the duchess is recovering from the state of debility and ex haustion to which she was reduced.
