IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.—YRsTERDAi: Their lordships met at four o'clock for a short time, during Which the Royal assent was given to several bills, after which their lordships adjourned till Monday, 4th of June, for the Vrhitsuntide holldays. in the minds of the country, like any other of its great consti tutional privileges ; and this, assisted by the misrepresenta tions of the London press, caused the country'to be slaty in its I Pprehension of the disaster which had occurred to it. Now. however ; it was about to bestir itself. The mere repeal of the 4Taty was greatly subordinate to the constant onal question at , stake. Admitting the excellence of the composition of the Pro Posed committee, he objected to the vagueness of the order 'of reference under which it was to act. The orders ought to lave kept the committee minutely and closely to the point at 144 ne. The great question was, that the Lords had increased the taxation of the country without the consent of the Commons. This was a question, not for the moment, but for years, and ought to be distinctly and closely considered. They 'had to see if there was any precedent for the retention, by the Lords, 'gf a tax repealed by the Commons as no longer necessary, and ler which a substitute had been provided. The order of . teference ought to have been made in these terms. The 'Premier was unjust to the House and to the country in not 'taking a more decided course, and was risking his own position. The amendment of. Mr. Duncombe was one which, the more he 'considered it, he felt was framed with due regard to the Consti- Intion of the country and to the honour and functions of both 4 0'i:sea of Parliament. It was perfectly calm and temperate, and one which, he believed, upon due consideration, the Government would be willing to adopt. He thought that a division ought not to be pressed at the present moment, and' raored that the debate be adjourned till Thursday. Lord J. RUSSELL admitted the high importance of the ques tion both to the country and to the privileges of the House. 'Stiff believing that the Hotse - could fairly.be trusted, he would inn have it enlightened before it committed itself to any different course. He had himself once thought that the order 'of reference should be more distinctly defined ; but he now thought that the committee should be left as free as possible to follow any course it thought most conducive to the objects of '*inquiry. He faither contended that the House would be better able to act when furnished with information on the !tried class of precedents into which it might be useful to taciOre. As to the amendment of Mr. Duncombe, it was a direct infringement of the prerogative of the Crown to prorogue or otherwise as it thought proper. He urged the House at `Quo to agree to the original motion of Lord Palmerston. Mr. criy said that the amendment would not open the real question of mutual rights of the two Houses of Parliament. After some further debate, Mr. Bright withdrew his motion Or ad3outnme at, and MA. T. Daueombe his amendment. Xlie original motion was then agreed to. `Oh the =Lion that the committee consist of 19 members, Cord PAVIIERSTON promised, on the re-assembling of th e l lctioe, to propose additional members from the independent sections 'of the House. After some disenssion, it was decided that the committee should consist of 21 member's, one additional to be taken from ;the independent section of each side of the House. • The 19 names placed on the paper were then agreed to. DUNCOMBE asked, if. is consequence of the bribery 11 1 d emniption reported to prevail at elections for the city Gloucester and the borough of Wakefield, her Majesty's ?overament has anything to propose on the s a b j ect. If not, "7 Whit eight and for what purpose he (the Secretary of State for the Hone Department) had delayed the issue of new writs . to those places. After several appeals from legal members urging that no government prosecutions should be pressed iu this matter I galnst witnesses wko ought to have been indemnified, The ATTORSEY-GENKaAa said that, however much he ,might aspect the humanity, forbearance, and kindness of the several '4 l 9eals addressed to him, they did not relieve him from the ' O bligations of his duty as a public fanetionary. If any direct s▪ olution was proposed for the avoidall,ce of further proceed 14gs, he should most gladly acquiesce. Bu: the House had ' 4l ready taken steps, which, if it did not follow up, it would be 'guilty of a solemn mockery, and lay itself open to the charge 'of organised hypocrisy. He had no other course but that---to t he those who were the greatest culpr its, accordi ng to he decision of the Commissioners. Sir G. C. Lewis commented on the esalorrassment caused to :the Government by those varied opinions, ri.k.d said that it was but fair to the Government to bring forward tome definite emotion to relieve it of its responsibility. As to the writ, the ''verninent, with the Reform Bill in prospect , did not propose .to sttpend it beyond the present session. In reply to Mr. Diliwyn, Sir G. C. Lewis said that the Government would not insist vn Penalties against those who refased to state their religious 7,, fpsoiou in tb. coming ,iinsua. O'Douonis - rt called arcentiou tv the recent proclamation for'bidding the enlistment of Irishmen in the service of the Pope, at a time whip Government was openly countenancing the Garibaldi subscription. The country was not at war with the Pope, and ought not interfere in checking Irish sympathy. "characteris ed the proclamation as oppressive and tyrannical, and one which looked like a triumph of the Protestant feeling , of !gland over the Catholic feeling of Ireland. The social ,effect upon that country would be most injurious. Mr. CIXDWELL said that the Irish Government had done not'zing except in accordance with the law. In the first place, 'they had issued no proclamation at all. By the l a w it was clearly illegal for subjects of her Majesty to take service with iforeign Powers ; and all that they had done was to bring the law to the knowledge of the Irish people, by printing and cir s.;,"lating a notice as to what the statute really was. He denied 4raphaii.o.llv that Government had in any way countenanced the Garibaldi :11bzeriPtion. Mr. 31 0N sELL dedi a ized that the speech of Lord J. Russell on a previous evening was a encouragement to Garibaldi. Mr. Bovrfsit inquired if the GoviZnunent had censured the insulting terms in which Mr. Elliott, ou Minister at Naples, had spoken of the King of that country ? Lord PALMERSTON replied that Government had itot thought Proper to censure a despatch which contained nothing but ;`,lte truth. The only Government at Naples was an irresponsible Volice. The motion for adjournment till Thursday was then agreed to. On the motion of Sir F. Smith, a committee was appointed to inquire into the circumstances which have caused the klefective state of the gun and mortar-boats of the royal navy. Colonel DuNsa moved the addition of the names of Lord - 11 6 s and Mr. H. Herbert to the Committee on Irremovable poor, alleging the importance of the subject to Ireland, and that the present committee contained only two Irish names. Ur. VILLIERS, who had given notice to add the names of Sir E. Grogan and Mr. Abel Smith, opposed the motion, .observing that the committee was only re-appointed, having sat on two previous sessions. The . 43TORNEY-GENTRAL for Ireland observed that the com mittee sat on the English law, which had but a secondary relation to Ireland. The name of Lord Naas being put, was rejected by a majority 4, f sally 1-57 to 56. Coleziel DUNNE then pressed the Government to accept Mr. 1 1. Herten. A long,discussicit followed, in which it was contended that the English Aaw of settlement was of the highest importance to Ireland, and the Government was urged speedily to settle this most vexatious question. Uitimately the names of Sir E. Grogan and Mr. H. Herbert were added to the committee. The Municipal Corporation (Ireland) Act Amemlment Bill, was read a second time, as was the Spirits Bill. Some discussion took place in committee on the Innkeepers' Liability Bill, the further progress of which was opposed on the ground of the violent and unnecessary alterations it rsoposed. A motion that the chairman leave the chair was carried by 49 to 34. The Refreshment Houses and Wine Licenses Bill was read a third time and passed, amid some cheering. Sir J. Baniard's Act Repeal Bill passed through committee. The House then adjourned at twenty-five minutes to one. .13. n official return shows that the number of infantry in the Spanish army is 80,000 men. The Duke of Brabant, travelling under the name of Vicomte d'Ardennes, arrived at Venice on the 17th. The Lloyd of Pesth states that the Austrian Govern ment has prohibited any demonstration for the memory of Count Szechenyi. GAZETTE NEWB.—The Queen has granted the dignity of a Knight of the United Kingdom unto W. Martin, sq., late chief justice of New Zealand ; F. Brady, Esq., 'chief justice of Newfoundland ; J. Fisher, Esq., presi •dent of the Legislative Council, South Australia ; C. J. Brand, Esq., speaker of the House of Assembly, 'Cape of Good Hope ; F. Murphy, Esq., speaker of the -House of Assembly of Victoria ; R. Barry, Esq., senior - puisne judge of Victoria ; T. Maclean, Esq., astronomer -royal at the Cape of Good Hope; W. Currie, Esq., 'Commandant of the armed mounted police at the Cape of Good Rope. ROUSE OF COMMONS.-YESTBRDAY. Mr. litrixarnn asked the Secretary of State for the Home ..Department whether her Majesty's Government have advised the Queen to sanction the sitting of Convocation in the provinecs Canterbury and - York for any other than the ordinary pur- Pose of adjournment ? Sirs. C. LEWIS sa'd that the Queen had sanctioned the Sitting of Convocation for the pUrpose, of considering the canon whereby parents were prohibited from standing sponsors for their children. Mr. HENRY B. SHERIDAN asked the Secretary of State for India whether instructions have been sent to the Indian Government to take steps to reduce the amount promised by the home Government for compensation for losses by the Indian tenthly / Mr. J. G. BARING replied in the negative. Viscount PawacasroN moved that a select, committee be ap pointed to search the journals of both Nooses of Parliament, zn order to find and report on the 'practice of each House with regard to the several descriptions of bilis imposing or repealing taxes. He should not himself enter into any discussion, and he trusted that the House would seethe propriety of likewise so abstaining till the committee had made its report. The House would then be equally competent to debate the matter, with the additional advantage of being in possess'on of. the • fact s . bit J. PAEINGTON admitted the propriety of the course now recommended, which could not compromise the future course 0 1 . the House, especially after the announcement made Pre 'dowdy by the nob/e lord, that it was not intended to place the tWoliouses in collision. Mr. E. JastEs could not admit the propriety of thus abstain ing from discussion, nor that the House was in possession of the official information as to the proceedings of the lords. All the precedents of the House were in favonr of immediate action, and he called upon the Ministry to declare definitely what they intended to do. The Commons had taken immediate proceedings when the Lords threw out the Vitt for the Indem nification of the Witness against Sir R. Walpole. The House was in full possession of the facts and the course proposed , 70uld only lead to temporising and delay. It was due to the honour of the House and the dignity of the Government that the future steps intended to be taken should be made know n. Mr. D. SEYMOUR demanded that a larger infusion of the independent elements of the House should be _placed on the committee. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said the lorde had not rejected the Repeal Bill, they had only postponed it for six months. Let the House meet again in November, and then see whether, under be* circumstances, the House of Lords would not pass the bill. He moved, as an amendment, a resolution, to the erect that the House learned with regret that the further progress 'of the bill passed by that House for the repeal of . the excise 'duty on paper had been postponed by the House of Lords for. lax. mouths. The House was of opinion, so soon as the state 'of Public business permitted, Parliament should not adjourn beyond November nest, when another opportunity would be 'given to thelords to consider whether the said bill could not be then advantageously agreed to. There were other reasons, • Arising out of the state of affairs abroad, why the House of Lords should- not trifle with a great constitutional question. The proceeding of the lords was an insult to that House, and le that light the people of England were beginning to view it. Mr. WnattrT, in seconding the motion, said that the 'question was one between the House and the Government. lie, for one, had voted for the 10d. income-tax, in direct con tdoration of the repeal of the paper duty. Mr. -Braman said that if party considerations,were not in the 1 %7, even members opposite would feel that the house was in I Painful position, as growing opinions were being manifested Zn the country on the subject. The , admizu - streion of the Enances of the country by the Chanceller of..the Exchequer, ' • ' Ullder the control of the House of Commons, was a fixed idea the means of preserving no less than 11,401 of our, fellow-creatures from a watery grave. . - On Thursday, at noon, Mr. William Dawbarn, chair man of the Early Closing Association, accompanied by the vice-chairman, waited on Lord Brougham,, at the office of Messrs. Brown, Shipley, and Co., with the intention of inducing his lordship to preside, or speak, at a meeting of the association. Mr. Dawbarn (who was introduced to his lordship by Mr. Brown, as a decimal coinage ally,) proceeded to explain the objec♦ of the deputation. The vice-chairman, Mr. Davis, stated to his lordship the great" progress the association' had made, and. the great .benefit it would derive from his lordship's aid. After listening with great attention, his lordship assured the deputation that he felt the deepest interest in the early closing movement, but that' having to leave town next day he would be unable to comply, with their request. After having been very kindlyreceived by his lordship, the deputation withdrew. TURKISH SAlLORS.—Yesterday a lot of young Tur lish sailors, just come ashore from a frigate of that empire, paraded the town and caused some attraction-- particularly on 'Chenge, as they marched' about the flags for some time in the afternoon. They are very young and raw-looking, and when compared to our jolly Jacks formed a very marked contrast. Their dress, too, was very unsailor-like ; and, without any disrespect to the Great Porte, they cut a sorry figure as sailors. They called at the establishment of Mr. O'Doherty, of South John-street, and made some pur chases, and what was more, brought - a crowd of curious spectators after them. They exhibited with apparent satisfaction some handkerchiefs that they purchased at this shop, and went on their way rejoicing that " Allah " had found them colours which they so much . desired. OXFORD LOCAL EXAMINATION.-- - -Tile next local examinations will be held under the auspices of Oxford, and will begin on the 6th of next month in St. George's Hall. It is to be hoped that Liverpool will again hold an honourable place in the class list. The juniors are arranged in three classes, on the aggregate principle. To the first and the second of these younger boys examined in Liverpool (provided they are in the first class) J. G. Morris, Esq., will give prizes of £3 and £2 respectively. The seniors who obtain honours are arranged in sections, thus :—A English, B languages, C mathematics, D physics, E drawing and architecture, F music. Two others of our fellow townsmen— Alderman S. Holme and Percy M. Dove, Esq.—have offered prizes of a each for the first Liverpool candi dates in physics and mathematics respectively, provided they arc in the first classes. THE ZooLoorcAL GARDENS.—The effect of the genial showers and glorious sunshine which we have enjoyed during the past week is ni)where more visible than in the grounds of this favourite resort, which are now under tasteful cultivation, and in admirable. order. To the town-pent visitor this in itself is a delight. The various erections throughout the grounds have been beautifully re-painted and decorated ; and to all the old attractions several novel features have been added. The new orchestra, which approaches completion, will evi dently be a very tasteful structure ; and the platform is large enough for the wildest waltz. We are glad to see that the zoological department proper has received its due share of attention, and the collection is very varied ; the aviary beautifully stocked. In the pyro technic display each evening, Mr. John Atkins seems ambitious each successive evening of excelling his former efforts. The clever Lauri Fatally, we are glad to perceive, have been re-engaged, and appear in a new comic pantomime next week. GRATIFYING TESTIMONIAL TO THE CAPTAIN OF THE MORNING STAR, BRISTOL.— : -On Wednesday last, at Bristol, an exceedingly flattering and well-deserved testimonial waa presented to Captain Matthews, of the Morning Star, a vessel i•exently arrived in Bristol from Callao, and once renowned in that town from her con nection with the Australian line of Messrs, Miles and limgton, and the urbanity of her then commander, Captain Allen. It consisted of a massive and hand some gold medal, representing on the one side a ship wrecked mariner floating upon a spar and waving a . down to his rescue, and on the other the following inscription :—" The President of the United States to Captain C, Matthews, for humanity to shipwrecked American seamen, 1869," The value of the medal is estimated at between SP and £6O, and the circum stances which led to so flattering a recognition of Capt. Matthews's humane . services took place so far back as the month of October, 1858. In explanation of the delay, it may be stated that although the medal was for warded by Mr. Dallas, the American Minister, to Lord John Russell in June list, Captain Matthews was at that time at sea, in command of the. Morning Star, but as soon as it became known to the authorities that he had arrived, the testimonial was at once forwarded to the officials of the I,ocal Marine Board. Captain Matthews was late commande r s of the Admiral, of this town, and the gold medal was presented for services rendered to the master and others of the American ship A. Z. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. MAKE YOUR MARKET EARLY.—From the Ist of June next, the public markets will be closed at ten' o'clock on Saturday evenings. ANNIVERSARY Slum()Ns.—Last evening at the Con gregational Church, Oxton-road, the Rev. H. Stowell Brown delivered anniversary sermons. Collections in aid of, the church were made at the,close. LORD BROUGHAM AND THE NEGRO BRICKLAYER. — Yesterday, Lord Brougham and the Bishop of Oxford, accompanied by William Brown, Esq., visited the new library buildings. Lord Brougham twice warmly shook hands with a negro bricklayer engaged on the works, and presented him with a piece of money. PRESENTATION.--The saloon passengers of the home ward voyage of the steamship Vigo have presented to Capt. Mirehouse, her respected commander, a splendid silver goblet as a testimonial of their esteem. The goblet, which is one of a very chaste and elegant design, was from the manufactory of Mr. Mayer. CORONER'S INQUEST.—Mr. Wyberg held an inquest on the body of a child, named Frances Liddell, two years and eight months old, that died in Gildart's gardens. According to the evidence of Mr. Timothy Henry Martin, a young gentleman, who inserted the following letters after his name—M.R.C.S.E.L.S.A.L. —it appeared that death was the result of acute scarla tina, and of course the jury agreed (after the letters) to that fact. ALLEGED ILL-TREATMENT ON BOARD AN AMERICAN SHIP.—An inquest will be held this day on the body of Martin Moss, a sailor on board an American ship, just arrived here; and, as report ,states, death was the result of ill-usage on the passage home. As reports of this sort are:apt to be exaggerated, and freely circulated, it is better not to give currency to such until a proper investigation can be entered on. We shall give the result of this ease when it is legally before the public. MANCHESTER LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION BRANCH.- This branch of the Royal . National Life-boat Institution has forwarded an additional contribution'of £l5O to the parent society. In addition to the two life-boats which the institution has at Lytham and Fleetwood, measures will forthwith be taken to establish, if practicable, a new life-boat station at Southport. The incidental expenditure of the National Institution on it No. 103 life-boat establishment is very large. Surely we should not grudge ouch a societ:, a little pecuniary help, when `we read that it has expended on life-boat establishments nearly £37,000, and has voted 82 gold and 658 silver medals for distinguished services, besides pecuniary rewards amounting to almost £13,000, while it has been THAMES AND MERSEY COMPANY. The app(: ,,,; ., 4 ment of Mr. IL Burnand as underwriter is understood to hay's been fully arranged as already : stated. The letters of allotni.;:2t to the subscribers are to be sent out on Thursday evening neap. The number of shares is 100,000, and the applications, exelus;; - ;: Qf those from the directors, amount to 415,438. Of these 237,743 are from London, 100,630 from Liverpool, and 67,060 from Manchester. LITERAT URE. MEL-rouA : A Quarterly Review of Social Science; No. 9. London : Partridge and Co. The title of this Quarterly sufficiently explains its character and its object. We all know now what social science is. It mould be a shame if we did not, after having had it so fully and forcibly expoudned and MIL : - trated in St. George's-hall. Social science is itself sneliora altogether. This review professes to treat it in its ethical, evangelical, political, and ameliorative aspects—the very aspects, indeed, which the Association for the Promotion of Social Science has in view. Mdiora, therefore, is calculated to be a powerful auxi liary iu that cause. It is, moreover, an interesting periodical in a literary point of view. TILE INVENTOR'S GUIDE BOOK ; or, Plain Directions for Obtaining Letters Patent, &c. By William Walker. London, George Philip and Son. 1860. Intending patentees may obtain from this little volume a correct idea of the total cost likely to be incurred by them in securing the property in their inventions in the most effectual manner, as well as the best mode of pro ceeding. The author has had great experience, and is perhaps the most competent adviser on the subject of British and colonial, and foreign patents, for inventions. A copy of the work should be in the hands of all inventors and patent solicitors, as the best practical guide of the kind extant. New INveNtian.—Tne Nsw FOUNTAIN greater annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with---the difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve ments the new " fountain pen," just introduced by Rudhall and Co. is the best we have ever seen. Jly a simple but effec tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of a second inverted barrel above the writing nib, and this barrel can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly clean without any chance of being corroded. Another feature in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for five minutes' quick writing. The pen itself is of the finest description, and in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it will be found to fill a want felt by every one up to this time. We have tried !his splendid pen, handed to.us by Mr. E. T. P all, South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and WO are me all who use it will 10. ye a full verdict in its favour, Detective-oflicer Laycock brought up a woman, named Mary Glennan, Ideseribed as a "female man-catcher," living in Porter-street, on a charge of having robbed two poor Irish emigrants, named Mary Moore ;nd Anne Lovell, of £4 7s 6d. Mr. Bluck was for the prisoner. The pse was heartless on the part of the prisoner. It appeared that the husband of one of the complainants (who is the brother of the other) is in America, and that he paid the passage of the two, in America, and sent them tickets accordingly. He also sent them £4 in cash to pay the passage of a child which he wished to Wore out. The two poor women arrived here from Waterford, a day or two since, and on landing they were met by the prisoner, who had a girl that acted as " a decoy duck," and they induced the emigrants to go to the prisoner's house. On going to the house the prisoxer asked them if they had any money, and, if so, to give it up to flier, as it was likely some thing would happea it. The poor creatures had only £4 7s. 6d., which they gave to the prisoner to keep, and as soon as she got it she called a lot of dissolute people, and went, on the "spree," and Porter-street was in au uproar for a couple of days. The women being ready to go on shipboard, demanded their money, when the prisoner laughed at them, and told them to go to the County Court and recover it at a shilling a week. In place of going there they were directed to Mr. Swerintandant Kehoe, and the latter sent Laycock, who put the Fraudulent Trugtee Act into operation, arrested the pri soner, and recovered a one-pound Irish note of the money. Mr. Bluck did all he could to get off the prisoner, but his worship said the Fraudulent Trustee det was made to meet such cases as the present, and he would teach thieves like the th.t they could not rob poor enixg-r.L.. imp - nity. This being the first case of the sort that came before him, he would remand the woman for a week, and allow her to pay the poor women, but in future, in such eases, he would send all such offenders for trial. Mr. Bluck said the money would be paid, and the prisoner was remanded to this day, in order to give her an opportunity of paying the money over to the owners. (Before Messrs. GRANT and GLADSTONE.) BEERHOUSE CASES. Sylvanus Schofield, of Mile-end, was charged with Sunday trading : fined 20s. and costs. Thomas White, Carlton-street, was charged with selling ale on Sunday : dismissed. Thomas Webster, Prescot-street, was charged with doing business at _ . illegal hours dismissed. Patrick Doyle, Thomas-street, was summoned with selling at illegal hours : fined 2s. 6d. and costs. John Ward, Bell-street, was charged with selling ale on soil. ; day morning : dismissed. Robert Plunket, Blundell-street, was summoned for refusing to admit the pollee when they demanded admittance at four in the morning ; the defence was that the inmates were in bed, and that the house was robbed by burglars : fined 10s. and costs. Michael Girwan, Limekiln-lane, was charged with doing business at illegal hours. Officer 703 said he saw a woman leaving the house with a jug, and he added, with great emphasis, " I convinced her it was ale." (Laughter.) He proceeded to say that there was a woman drunk, and a man speechless drunk, because he heard him speaking (loud laughter), and all this happened at the contrary side of Limekiln -lane. Here a geographical inquiry as to the "contrary side?' of the lane took place, and the result of the whole case was a dismisii.—John, Middleton, St. Anne-street, was charged for doing business at illegal hours. The defence was that the parties in the house were friends, and were treated : dismissed.—Jane Gray, of Edgehill, was charged forhaving her house open after eleven on Saturday night, contrary to the act : dismissed.—Charles Seaman, West Derbk-road, was summoned for having done business at pro hibited hours. In this case it vq-s stated the ale was drawn before eleven o'clock': dismissea.—jolm Jones, of Paddington, was summoned for selling ale at illegal hours, Mr. Cobb was kitchdeferieP uouse, which was net the licensed portion of the premises, but this point was overruled, and defendant was fined ss. and costs. A FRENCH OPINION OF ENGLAND.—What astonishes some men is the extreme facility with which England at the present moment recedes and becomes the England of other days, without regard to all the trouble taken to rsfortc. her. Despite Diiraeli and his paladins of Young England, despite Cohden and his bales of cotton, despite Bright and his peace theories, despite Prladstone and his vague, evangelical, humanitary ideas, the present gene ration backs, rears, will not advance with the age, but starts back to the days of yore. We have a striking proof of it in the recent prize-fight which so scandalised the French public the other day. It is nothing more than the awakening of "the beast" which it was attempted to smother with money-bags, but which, at a given moment, rises, stretches itself, and with a terrific roar sends the vile coin right and left for the sole plea sure of being at e,:ise ac.d feeling that it is alive. What ever disgust this may cause you, I beg of you, neverthe less, to take it for what it is—a sign ! the sign of how this nation is bored to death by all the ultra-civilising notions shouted into its ears for the last fifteen years. Observe that Lord Loraine, in assuming as regards the recent prize -€o.t the views of every well-bred man on the Continent, ran foul of the Englishman of the old school, represented by Lord Palmerston. Now, the latter, whatever faults he may have, has always shown himself a perfect gentleman in word and deed; but he is a thorough-bred Englishman, an Englishman to the back bone, and by no means inclined to relinquish the popularity ho enjoys at the present moment on that very account.--A 7 i Z de In Religion. A FAMOUS ROBBER.—It was stated a short time back that a man undergoing imprisonment in the prison of B4nlogne-sur-mer for robbery, under the name of Aaron, had been recognised as one of a very desperate band of burglars, seventeen in number, who were arrested in the south of France in 1851, but all of whom, singular to relate, succeeded in escaping. This Aaron, who effected his escape fi-om the prison of Pau, was sent back there. Three days ago he was brought to trial before the court of assizes of the Basses-Pyrenees for robbery and burglary. In answer to the President, he stated that he had passed by the different names of Alexander, Henri, Dufour, Leon, Martin, Jacob, and Aaron, but that his real liable is David ; also, that he had represented himself to be a Belgian and a Roman Catholic, but that he is really a Frenchman and a Jew. He said also that he had been condemned in almost every one of those names ; and that after his escape in 1851 he went to Brussels, where he was condemned to four years' imprisonment for robbery, which he under went ; that then he went to Germariy and to England ; and that on returning from England he had stoppea at Boulogne, and had there been condemned. Proof was then given of several robberies and burglaries committed by him in 1850 and 1851; and among them were these : —At Libourne, where he resided some little time, he passed himself off as a corn cutter, and by affecting to be a rigid Jew, obtained the confidence of a rich Israelite trader, named Doliveira. He ended by robbing him of ‘30,000f. worth of goods. At Bayonne he broke into the shops of a watchwaker and lacemaker, and stole from one goods to the value of 12,000 E, and TiOni the other 3.0,000 f. It was stated to the court that the pri: soner had extraordinarily skill in disguising himself, and that he spoke several languages with facility. The jury declared the man guilty, and coudem4e4 haw to twenty years' hard labyttr,—Oglivißoi, Mr: Raffles consented, and Gotain Robins was called. He said he was not aware until Thursday that there would be a Board of Trade enquiry. He had been at sea since 1835, and had been 14 years in command of vessels making foreign voyages to America, the Medi terranean, Southern Africa, India, and China. 'The Leicester left Charleston on the 17th ult., at five p.m., and after a pretty fair voyage, arrived off Cape Clear at eight o'clock on the morning of the 14th of this month. There was then a strong breeze from E.S.E. At six p.m ; the rind veered to the southward, and the weather cleiired up. From three o'clock, and until ten p.m. on the next day, the course was generally W.E. by E.— sometimes a little more northerly. At this time the wind was S.W. by S. ; the rate of sailing after rounding the Tuskar, about 7 knots per hour. Shortly after ten pan. the stunsails, the staysails, and the mizenroyal were taken in, and the courses hauled up ; the weather was at this time hazy. They got everything in readi ness, and expected to see the Stack Light, but could not do so. He (witness) sent a man to the map44e,44, rho, after remaining there some time, said he was unable to see anything of the Light. Presently the man at the look-out said he could see land, and witness told the mate to see what it was. Witness had the helm put hard a-starboard ; the wind was then upon the starboard quarter. A few moments after this the vessel struck, just outside the Roscommon Beacon, distant about 300 yards. They immediately backed the yards, and used every effort to free the ship ; but she commenced break ing up almost immediately. Witness then ordered the masts to be cut away, in order that she might keep together as long as possible; it was about one o'clock a.m. when they struck. Finding that the ship was rapidly breaking up, they (with great difficulty) got the long-boat out, and entered it. They pulled out to sea, and were picked up by the steamer Eleanor and James, and taken to Holyhead. Up to this time about one third of the cargo has been saved. Since witness has been a master he never met with a similar accident; one of his ships was burned; but the owners and under writers were satisfied that it was spontaneous combus tion, and acquitted him of any blame. Ike was of f ered another ship 'a week after this accident to the Leicester. At the time of the wreck the tide was at half-flood. Captain Harris said the master appeared to have done everything—used every precaution, except that most necessary one of heaving the lead at the proper time. Before turning the Tuskar, he had undoubtedly done everything that a seaman should do, and the only fault was in not heaving the lead when he could not see the light. David Ross, chief mate of the Leicester, confirmed the captain's statement. Every precaution was taken. Witness had sailed for a long time with Capt. Robins, and believed him to be a most zealous, attentive, a n d cautious officer. Mr. Lamport, of the firm of Lamport and Holt, said he had employed Captain Robins for six or seven years, and had found him a most industrious, sober, and atten tive servant. Tie left their employ on the occasion of to Messrs. Rathbone Brothers. Mr. Rathbone, jun., was also called, and gave evidence equally complimentary to Captain Robins. Mr. Raffles intimated that the captain's certificate would be sent with the evidence to the Board of Trade, and would, no doubt, have weight with them. The result will be known shortly. polpc, May 25. The Charles B. Truitt, which has been lying in our waters for the last five or six months, sailed with her cargo of Hiles from Queenstown yesterday morning for Liverpool. She was freighted by the Gatibaldi Corn mittee in New York, but having arrived here after the war had terminated, she lay at Queenstown awaiting orders from the States. It is possible that Garibaldi's recent movements have occasioned the vessel's departure. [The receipt of this piece of telegraphic news in Liverpool, seems to have given rise to a widely circulated report yesterday evening that the mysterious barque had just come into port, awl had begun to land her warlike cargo, which was being hurriedly stowed away in the cellarage beneath the printing premises formerly occupied by Mr. Fraser, in Cable-street. The rumour spread like wildfire and created a considerable amount of vague and indescribable excitement. On enquiry, however, we ascertained that the vessel had not arrived, o.nd that the only foundation for the alarm was the simple fact that a large number of muskets, recently purchased by Mr. Glazebrook, merchant in this town, from the Austrian Government, were deposited last evening in the above-mentioned place.] It is the Bishop of Worcester and not the Bishop of Winchester that is seriously indisposed. Yesterday morning the anniversary of th 9 Princess Helena's birthday was kept in London with the usual demonstrations of loyalty and respect. PIEDMONT "COMING? THE OLD SOLDIER" OVER THE EmrEnon.—The Emperor of the French is said to be more and more dissatisfied with the Piedmontese, who, his Majesty seems to believe, are (to use a vulgar phrase) "coming the old soldier over him." When Savoy was to be handed up to France it is clear that it was not Savoyards, who have been converted into French citizens, that were meant, but something quite as valu able—namely, the land that bore them. Now, it is very well to fight for an idea ; but, after all, a bargain is a bargain : The T!iedniontese do not appear to have as good a notion of this elementary maxim as people at the Tuileries, and the former have employed the interval before the ratification of the treaty itt selling as fast as they can, and to the highest bidder, not merely the personal property of Victor Emmanuel, but the Crown lands which should revert to France. This is rather sharp practice. France, doubtless, glories in her new subjects, but if they bring nothing with them there will be matter for complaint.

She remained for some time, not only neither dangerous nor disagreeable, but fulfilliyngelhnegr household and neighbourly duties properly and well, and to the satisfaction and comfort of her husband and family, and betraying by no sign cr symptoni that she stood in need of watching or restraint. At length the husband received an order to take back his wife or send a medical certificate of her recovery. The last was denied him by the medical officer of the union, because he had not seen the patient during her absence from the asylum; the other alternative Mumford rejected, because his wife exhibited the greatest repugnance to going back, the bare idea of it begetting a return of her former melancholy. In consequence, at the end of ten weeks, two female attendants were sent over to bring the woman back. The husband and children rose in arms against this outrage on the natural affections, and on an Englishman's home. A police man--a race " ever but in time of need at hand"— pushed the husband on one side, and rudely prevented him coming to the rescue. The poor wretch, between grief and indignation, sunk on the floor irk a At, and while the frightened household were crowding round believing hire to be dying, the messengers from the asylum seized the opportunity to force Mrs. Mum ford, struggling, protesting, and appealing, into a fly, and carried her back to the asylum. SERIOUS BOAT ACCIDENT IN THE FORTH, AND 1 NARROW ESCAPE.—On Thursday afternoon, about half past three o'clock, as the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee 1 Railway Company's steamer Express was crossing the Firth to Burntisland, some persons were observed in the water, clinging to a partially submeqe4 bcat. The captain directed the steamer to arils the sufferers, and a boat was immediately lowered and sent to the rescue. A stiff breeze was blowing, and the waves were breaking over the wrecked people, but the boat soon returned with them, four in number—two ladies, a boy, and a young man. The ladies and the boy were insensible. The passengers immediately took charge of them, and every effort was used to restore animation, and before the steamer reached Burntisland these efforts were partially successful. The sufferers were removed at Burntisland to the Forth Hotel, and professional assistance was sent and telegraphed for. In a short time Dr. Christopher, of Burntisland, was in attendance, and under his directions, and those of Dr. Dewar, from Kirkcaldy, the patients gradually recovered. They are all members of the family of the Rev. Mr. F A l gav ; of Edinburgh, mother and daughter, and two sons, the ald,F,' r, yoi,ng naval — ofcer, and they had left Aberdour in a pleasure boat, which had unfortu nately somehow or other capsized. When they were seer and picked up by the steamer, the sufferers must have been in the water from twenty minutes to half an hour. Dr. Allshorn, their family attendant, was sum moned to Burntislaud from Edinburgh, and remained with them all night. The three young sufferers have pretty well recovered from the effecis. (41. the accident, and Mrs Edgq--to whom the accident was the most serious, as she had only just recovered from a very revere illness—is also happily out of danger. Great praise is due to Captain Morrison, of the Express, and his crew, for the prompt manner in which they rescued the Edgars. The family are indebted I s,o them for life, as, from their numbed condition when rescued, it is certain that in a very few minutes they would have perished; (From the correspoudent of the Irish Times.) A paragraph, cat and dry, appeared in all the London newspapers on Saturday, to the effect that Sayers and Heenan had met in Bell's Life office, and come to an amicable arrangement, by which each of the combatants was to have a belt equal in point of value and magni ficence to the " belt" itself ; that Tom Sayers was never again to appear in the P.R., but had suspended his votive tablet in the form of resigning all cl;inA to the prize, which was thereupon to, be rolled into the midst of all prize fighters, with an inscription upon it—" Let the fair one take it." A prophecy that Heenan would be the man was added. The paragraph smacked suspiciously of copy written to order ; and with the exception of an ending, which contained an intimation that the heroes woulcl be exhibited, a la Tom Thumb, for a Iseilegt, yev the seir.e in all. Now this interesting document, holding up to public yip the pious resignation of Tom and the Benicia Boy, was, as Mr. Vincent Scully would term it, all "bosh." It is a feint to throw moralising editors and scrutinising senators off their guard, to blindfold the religious public, and to put Sir Richard Mayne and the Home Secretary on a wrong scent. Sayers and Heenan will fight ; the place is named ; the day is fixed. If a quiet suburban spot—a postscript of London, as Mrs, 13. Stosye wonld call it —canna be managed, the combatants will shut themselves up in a room, into which not more than a dozen will be admitted, and there and then the destinies of England and America will be decided. I ventured, in anticipation of the last great event, to name the 16th, or morning of the 17th ultimo, as the day, and I did not hit wide e,f the mark. Perhaps I may, with a faint id* that I am on the right track, fix upon the lath of next mon th as the day for the ranaw a l of the combat. That day is selected as quite sufficient to allow Tom's arm to recover, but not to afford him any interval for training. I may venture to add that the odds are greatly in the Benicia Boy's favour. He, by this time, is well up to Sayers' science, and will, when the renewal takes place, look oat for his eyes : be is every day improving iu his training, and in another month will be no longer the boy, as far as inexperience goes, whereas Tom must depend upon the past knowledge and practice. Our worthy Prime Minister will have another opportunity of going in for athletic sports afforded him, and perhaps he may be induced to give Parliament a holiday for the spree.

MASTER-DOCA9 AND THEIR SERVANTS.—There is a dog residiag in the borough of Southwark who keeps a blind man. He may be seen, most days, in Oxford street, hauling the blind man away on expeditions wholly uncontemplated by, and intelligible to, the man ; wholly of the dog's conception and execution. Con trarywise, when the man has projects the dog will sit down in a crowded thoroughfare and. meditate. I saw him the other day, wearing the money-tray like an easy collar instead of offering it to the public, taking the man against hit, will, ou the invitation of a disrepu table eitr, apparently to Yisit a dog at Harrow—he was so intent en that direction.

ACCIDENT AT ROBY. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday, Mr. John Wybergh, the deputy coroner, opened an inquest on the body of William Taylor, the driver of the train to which the accident happened at Roby, on the 18th inst., and who died in the Royal Infirmary, from the effects of the injuries. William Callow, a fireman, was examined, and stated that he was fireman to the engine " Gazelle," and was proceeding to Manchester at 10 45 on the day in question. The deceased was the driver of the engine. The train was stopped to adjust the chain of the damper; the deceased went under the engine for that purpose. Ire then stated that whilst this operation was going on the coal train came into collision with his train. The deceased's leg was shattered ; and the remainder of the evidence of this witness was the same as has been already published. In reply to a juror, the witness said he saw the signal man at his post, but he was not aware if the peculiar signals were made. The driver is supposed to examine the engine before starting, and he saw deceased looking round the engine before they started, and it was a little on this side of Roby that it was discovered something was the matter with the damper chain. The inquest was then adjourned to next Thursday at one o'clock. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) DANGEROUS DRUNKEN FREAK. Thomas Hickman, a drunken looking fellow, was charged by James Wilson under the following circumstances :—The com plainant, along with two w:tnesse3 named Thomas Bentley and Michael Egan, stated that he works in Mr. Marsh's sawmills, Vauxhall-road, and on the previous day he was engaged shar pening a large circular saw, which was driven by machinery. It could be tamed on by a lever ; and whilst 'so engaged, the prisoner, who was a stranger, entered the mills, and said he conld drive a sawmill as well as any of them, and at the same time he proceeded to turn on the saw by putting on the lever, and complainant, with the witnesses, swore that if he had done so--(he would, only some men caught him)--Hickman would have been cut in two by the saw, and nothing could have saved him. The prisoner said he went into the mill, and one of the men wanted to fight him. This was denied, and the prisoner was fined 10s. and costs, or 14 days' impri sonment. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT. James Frame, late a collector in the employment of Mr. Hellewell; of Lime-street and Castle-street, was brought up Officer Conlish, on remand, charged with embezzlement. The details of this ease were published twice a few days ago. Mr. Almond now appeared for the traverser, and submitted that the affair was one for a civil tribunal, as the matter in dispute was an agency transaction, and that the defendant bad a claim against prosecutor for £37 commission. He cited two law cases in support of his view of the case, that it was not a felony. Mr. Wynn, for the prosecution, argued contra, and said the nature of the aecount was not that of an agency. Mr. Almondcalled for a letter written by him to Mr. Hellewell, on the 21st April, demanding £37 on the part of Mr. Frame for commission, Mr, Wynn argued at some length, with the view of showing that there was no agency in the case. He called a person in the employment of Mr. Lester, who stated that in November, 1859, he paid the defendant 12s. on account of the prosecutor, and the latter proved that he did not get the amount nor £2 odd that was paid by another person. Mr. Almond cross-examined Mr. Hellmell at some length, in reference to the account for commission. The defendant was sent for trial, but he was admitted to bail. THE PRICE OF REFRESHMENT IN WILLIAMSON SQUARE. Inspector Tomilson charged Mr. James Rily, a publican in Rathhone-street, for being drunk and disorderly. The inspector Said he was crossing Williamson-square the previous evening, when he was attracted by a crowd at a cellar door, kept as an eating-house by Anne Fox. On going to ascertain the cause, he saw the defendant sitting on the box of a cab, creating a great disturbance. Tfp bad had refreshments at Fox's to the amount of ls. 6d., but refused to pay on the ground that the charge was too much. The inspector counsel led him to pay, and not create a " ruck'shin ;" but instead of doing so he came down from his "perch" and blackguarded and " ballaraged" the officer to all intents and purposes, and followed him up and down the square, until at last be took him into custody. Mr. Roby, for the defence, said the woman Fox charged three times what was the regular charge for the " stuff " supplied to his client, and he said the inspector had no right to take him into custody. Mr. Raffles tholight the inspector had done his duty, and fined defendant ss. and costs, which was at once paid. A FEMALE " MAN-CATCHER !" THE DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1860. ALLEGED ABANDONMENT OF THE REFORM BILL. The Tidies announces the virtual abandonment of the Reform Bill as an event absolutely decided, although some time may elapse before the measure is finally given up. The Times says it is not to be ex pected that the House of Commons will again grant a vote of credit ; and it follows, therefore, that the coming month must be given up entirely to the consideration of the estimates. The result is perfectly obvious—if the month of June be taken up with the estimates, the Reform Bill must go over to July, a period which every body knows it will be too late to discuss it. It seems, therefore, that incidentally, and of course without the slightest knowledge on their part of the nature of their own acts, the House of Commons has for this year dis posed of the Reform Bill, and rendered it morally certain, that at least in the present session, no time can be found for the task of re-arranging our representative system. • BOARD OF TRADE INQUIRY INTO THE LOSS OF THE LEICESTER. An inquiry into the loss of the ship Leicester, which was wrecked on the 16th of this month while on a voyage from Charleston to this port, was commenced yesterday afternoon, in St. George's Hall, before Mr. Raffles and Captain Harris, nautical assessor. Mr. O'Dowd conducted the inquiry on behalf of the Board of Trade, and Mr. Aspinall appeared for Captain Robins, the master of the ship. From the statement of Mr. O'Dowd, it appears that the Leicester was a first class vessel, registered in 1815, and of 686 tons. She had two decks and three masts, and was the property of Messrs. Rathbone and Brothers. She was commanded by Captain Jasper Robins, of whom Mr. O'Dowd said no one could possibly have a higher character in his profession than that gentleman. He has been for a great number of years in the service of his present employers, and has given great satisfaction. The Leicester sailed from Charleston on the 17th of April last, bound for Liverpool, with a cargo of cotton turpentine, and rosin ; and it appears from a deposition made by Captain Robins, that after au ordinarily fair voyage she sighted Cape Clear on the morning of the 15th of May. At noon on that day the weather was thick and hazy, and the captain, not being able to see the Irish coast, sounded, and found thirty-five fathoms, which led him to conclude that he was on the Wexford coast. About 10 p.m. the course was altered to N.E. by E. ; the weather was fine but hazy. At 11 o'clock the number of ships in the Channel appears to have in- creased very much. They were looking for the Stack light, but could not see it, and the question here arose as to what course Captain Robins took to ascertain his position. Unfortunately he did not at this time take cast of the lead, and was thus guilty of that fatal and frequent omission to which he (Mr. O'Dowd) believed must be ascribed the majority of the losses which hare occurred during the last four or five years. The man at the lookout looked anxiously and carefully for the Stack light but no light could be seen. The result was that at one o'clock on the morning of the 16th laud was seen, and the mate gave the order to starboard the 4441: The yards were braced, and every possible thing was done to bring the vessel to the westward. It was too late; she struck in about two minutes, just outside the Roscommon beacon, and went to pieces. She was insured for £4,000. Mr. Aspinall here stated that he wished the captain to be called first. This was rather different to the usual course; but they were not going to deny that the fault mentioned by Mr. O'Dowd had been committed, but only to show that every other precaution had been taken. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. Last night Lytton Bulwer's popular play, " The Lady of Lyons," was played, to give Miss Lama Gray the opportunity of personating the character of Pauline Deschapelles, in which she achieved a great success. We doubt whether it has ever been better played by any of this clever young lady's predecessors. Ladylike, femi nine, impassioned, yet never exaggerated, she gave the proud beauty, reduced or: exalted by love into a true hearted woman, ultimately ready to sacrifice herself to save her father from disgrace, without the slightest loss of consistency or apparently unnatural change of cha racter, and exhibited the highest reach of art in making a few hurried scenes develope a life, without violation of probability, or shocking the sense of propriety by sudden ness or abruptness. She was enthusiastically called for at the end of the third act, when she declares she is ready to share Claude Melnotte's fate, though that should be one of privation and poverty. Her rebuke of Beausea ne s infamous offer was given with a dignified and womanly delicacy that drew forth a spontaneous burst of well deserved applause. She was well supported by Mr. J. C. Cowper in Claude Melnotte. We have seldom seen it better played. The absurdities and extravagancies were toned down by the intensity of the feeling in the other parts of the character. Mr. H. Neville gave his usually characteristic representation of Beauseant, which cannot be improved. Mr. W. Cooper made a very good General Dumas, and the whole performance. , was highly satisfactory. To-night, Miss Laura Gray will play Parthenia, to Mr. J. C. Cowper's Ingomar. On Thurs day last, she played Bose Fielding, to Mr. J. C. Cowper's Luke, in the " Willow Copse," with great feeling ; and the steady as well as rapid advances she is making promise to place her soon in the highest rank of the histrionic profession. The other performances during the week have been "Rob Roy," "Guy Mannering," and "Never too late to Mend," which have been very well put upon the stage, but did not present any novelty which would call for especial notice in our confined space. A new bar lesque, " Dinorah under Difficulties :"—The rehearsal of that celebrated opera under the difficulties which will sometimes beset a manager, and which he does his best to get over, and succeeds, to the admiration of the audience. "No Song No Supper" has also been pro duced with great success. GARPALDT'S PLAN OF OPERATIONS. Garibaldi is now directing all his efforts towards Sicily alone, in order to make that island the basis of subsequent operations against the kingdom of Naples. Volunteers are to land in Sicily in small detachments, at points previously fixed on, where they will be formed into companies and battalions. As soon as a formidable expedition can be undertaken, a descent will be made on ejlabria. The Neapolitan Government is fully alive to its danger. Six squadrons are to be charged with the guard of the coast, and they will be composed of about fifty vessels of war of all sizes. The superior command has been confided to Count d'Aquila, the King's uncle, who has the direction of the fleet and of the naval affairs of the kingdom. The statement of the .3foiri2nento, of Genoa, that Garibaldi had entered Palermo, has not been confirmed. The first encounter between the patriots under Garibaldi and the royalist troops °mined while the latter were concentrating themselves upon Palermo and Messina. General Landi could not resist the vigorous attack, and fled to Palermo, leaving behind him four guns, 100 dead, and a great many wounded. During his two days' march to gain that city, he was harassed on all sides by the population, and hotly pursued by Garibaldi's men. THE MYSTERIOUS BARQUE.--RUMOURS OF HER ARRIVAL 4T fir\TWINI,. IMPORTANT DECISION. COLLISION IN TUE THAMES BETWEEN TWO STEAMERS. ADMIRALTY COURT.—THURSDAY. (Before Dr. LUSHINOTON and TRINITY MASTERS The screw steamship London, of liundee,;f;l2Ttons and 140 horse power, bound from London for Dundee, on the 15th of February last, with passengers and a general cargo, when going down the river, observed two steam-vessels nearly abreast of each other in Erith Reach coming up the Thames. One of the vessels was the steamship Wearmouth ; and, as the master of the London perceived that on rounding Celd harbour Point she was approaching in a direction which involved the risk of a collision, he put the helm of his ship hard aport, and stopped the engines. The London had a licensed pilot, who bailed the Wearmouth to port her helm, and to back full speed astern, but instead of doing so that vessel's helm was starboarded, and she ran into the London upon her port side abaf her fore rigging, and heeled her over on her starboard side, by which she sustained considerable damage. At the time of the collision the London was abreast of and heading in towards Erith Church. The Wear mouth was on a voyage from Sunderland to London, with a cargo of coals, and on the evening of the collision she was proceeding up the Thames on the starboard side of the river, in the reach called Erith Rands, and lying a course west by Earth, when the Loniion w,i, observed coming down Erith Reach. The lights of the London were seen across Coldharbour Point, and on the Wearmouth's starboard bow, at the distance of about a mile and a half. The Wearmouth alleged that she kept as close to the north shore as she could, a steam-tug running up abreast of her and between her and the shore' till they came near Coldharbour Point, where a schooner was beating up the river in stays ahead of them. In consequence of the stem-tag going to the northward of the ad:tot:l7ler, the Wearmouth was obliged to go to the southward of her, for want of water. On passing the schooner the lights of the London were seen by the crew of the Wearmouth on her starboard bow, coming down the Essex side of the river in the slack tide. As the London came out of the slack tide, and lay across the river right athwart the hawse of the Wearmouth, the latter shies helm was put hard sport and beTenginee turned aeterp at full speed; but notvyithstanding these pre9atitioAs, the collision occurred. The wind was N. by W., the weather clear, and the tide about three quarters flood. The course of the London was about S. by W., and she was proceeding at the rate of about eight knots an hour. The London observed the other steamer at the distance of about a mile, bearing S. by E. from her. The course of the Wearmouth was about W.N.W., and she was going at the rate of about eight knots an *tr. ch l the one side the accident was attri buted to the improper conduct of those on board the Wearmouth ; on the other side it was contended that it was caused by the Loudon coming dowu Q.O the north side of the channel in Erith Beach, and in attempting to cross the ti-ier from. that point as the Wearmouth was rounding it. There was a cross -action at the instance of the Wear. mouth. Witnesses for both sides were e;araiued in court. Dr. Twiss, an 4 Mr. E. C. Claris= were heard for the . LOudon ; and the Admiralty Advocate and Dr. Deane, Q.C., for the Wearmouth. • The learned Judge and the Trinity Masters were of opinion that the Wearmouth should have slowed her engines to allow the schooner to pass her, and that her not doing so was the cause of the collision, aid that the London was not to blame. Decree was given accoplingly, with costa against the Wearmouth. COAL EXPORTS AND IMPORTS. Messrs. W. & H.

THE GREAT ABERDEEN BANKRUPTCY CAM The business of land stewards and solicitors carried on by the bankrupts (J. 8: A. Blaikie) was a very lucrative one—the net annual profits generally reaching £4,000. Mr. Anthony Blaikie, the junior partner, has been examined before the county judge in bankruptcy. He joined his brother in 184% and put £2,000 into the concern. At that tinae the book showed Mr. John Blaikie, the senter partner, to be due the concern £3,066. There was no free oapital to carry it on. The balance against the senior partner went on increasing continuously each year, with only one exception. In 1856 the ; balance against John, according to the books, was £43,357, which, of course, was money due to the clients of the firm. Anthony did not always see the balance sheets, and only learned the result from a thirclparty, and on the last-named occasiou AO until about a year after wards. He was pal* so, obtain. any satisfactory explana tions korn his brother John, who. said he had some share spealations, and that soon all would be put right. Since 1856 no balance had been taken. In 1859 difficulties arose from further losses in speculations. The balance against John at that time has now been ascertained to have been about £70,000. skill continued to dabble in railway speculations, Accommodations from friends were then Obt; , ired to the extent of £16,500.

WHOLESALE PAPER Sr STATIONERY WAREHOUSE. tion of a policy of assurance on the life of one of the firm's clients, and an acceptance of 44,00,0 by the joint adventurers iu an Australian Investment Company, which had been blank drawn and accepted by the whore of the joint adventurers, inoluding J, and A. Blaikie. In the palms of that adventure, John had inserted in his own handwriting, instead of his own name, that of the firm of J. and A. Blaikie, to which alteration Anthony had not consented. £lO,OOO was raised from the partners for payments in connection with the station. Anthony stated that it was intended that a LBOO acceptance, part of the £lO,OOO, should have been delivered to one of our clients, who gave 4540, on the understanding that he was to get the bill; and our daybook and ledger are so written. He did not get the bill. My brother ought to have got it out of the hands of the bank, where it now is, in order to deliver it to him, but he failed to do so." The advance of £16,500 by friends was intended to put the firm into working order, but it was not then known how far John was behind. The books were not examined, so as to ascertain. Between 1858 and 1860 it appears, from certain brokers' accounts, that John's operations in shares exceeded £1,800,000, on which he had lost above £32,000. The liabilities, so far as yet ascertained, exceed £150,004 and the assets, set down at £50,911, are to a large extent worthless. Anthony stated that he di,d not consider the bankruptcy inevitable until a day or two before it was declared, and he attributed it entirely to the large losses sustained through his brother. He gave further evidence which went to show the reckless manner, to use no stronger phrase, in which the business of the firm has been trans acted. At the close of his examirration the Sheriff administered the statutory oath—'which in effect is that the bankrupt in his examination has given a complete and truthful statement of his affairs. We learn from the 4407(leaa,Iferatd that nothing is as yet known of the whereabouts of John Blaikie. The Duke de Grammont, Freßd, Ambassador at Rome, has arrived in Paris, a,s already stated, on leave of absence. Lord George Lennox will have teen returned for Lyraington by a majority of 25. One disputed vote is substantiated. ..... One of the effects of the late treaty of commerce with England is already visible in Paris. Several shops are crowded with English porcelain of very superior quality to that hitherto used in France. A Belgrade letter of the 16th instant, in the Press of Vienna, says:—Prince Milosch had yesterday, at Top schider such a violent attack of his old malady that all the physicians of Belgrade were summoned to him. His life is now despaired of. The Prussian journals are engaged in a discussion as to the means whereby the contents of a despatch from the Prince Regent to the Prince Consort of England have been brought to the knowledge of the French Govern ment, and an interview has taken place between the French Ambassador at Berlin and the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs on the subject.

It is said Sir John will soon follow on temporary leave of absence. THE SCREW STEAMER CALCUTTA.—This steamer, which grounded on the Arklow banks, has become a total wreck. She had worked so fast in on the banks that it was found impossible to move her, although the most powerful tug steamer was applied to her, her own weight, being constructed of iron, caused her to settle down most rapidly in the sand, and she is now completely under water. Her cargo was valued at about 415,000, of this about £lO,OOO has been saved. , SPLENDID APPEARANCE OF THE PLANET VENUS. — The planet Venus, which a short time ago passed its perigee, is just now to be seen in unusual brilliancy in the cloudless western sky, where it occupies a position very close to that of the moon, which considerably adds to the striking effect of the phenomenon. Looked at through a glass it will beautifully show its crescent form. The occasions on which this nearest neighbour of outs in the universe, beside the moon, will offer such a spectacle, are but rare, at least as far as the evening sky is concerned. SHOCKING OCCVRIMNCE.—A few weeks ago, a sad occurrence happened to a poor fellow, a pilot, wh o f e ll overboard from a pilot-boat engaged with the British mail steamer Karnak, coming out of Nassau harbour ; and although assistance was speedily rendered by throw ing overboard an oar, to which he laid hold, he, after piteously crying out to his mates, "For God's sake save me!" was, with the oar, carried down by an enormous shark, and never seen again. A few days after the fatal occurrence a shark was captured in Nassau harbour, and on being opened, the right hand and wrist, with a portion of b,is shirt (by which the hand was identified), a goat's head with horns nine inches long, and a turtle's head, were found in the belly. The hand, &c,, hav e b een given to the poor fellow's relatives. TUE LATE LADY BYIION.—The late Lady Byron is too much spoken of in her unfortunate connectioa with the poet, and too little in respect to her own distin guished virtues. TT IQ,I, ..,ysutp's life for many years past has beer.. full of good deeds. I have had the privilege of witnessing her interest in many philan thropic movements, and have listened with delight to her schemes of enlightened benevolence. One of the most animated dialogues I ever heard was between Lady Byron and an eminent American author, who was advocating the old doctrine of the laissez fare sect of economists. Amongst others to whom her patronage extended were the fugitive gavesfrom America. Several of these were placed by her in situations. Two, who made a remarkable escape, Wm. and Ellen Craft, were r' .-educated by her, and placed in the way of maintain ing themselves in comfort. The striking features and figure of the deceased were well known to those who take an interest in "social science," for she was con stantly to be seen at places where plans were to be cussed, though she had an intense dislike of being stared at. The first time I saw her was about twelve years . ago at a lecture given by Ernersal), the Am er i can essayist, (who is not the author previously referred to,) before a select audience assembled ou invitation b,y private note. well remember, at the close of the lee rub of gentlemen to her ladyship's side, each , claiMing the honour of escorting her to her carriage. This was not to her taste, aad she often complained of it to her friends.
