CHILDWALL VOLUNTEER RIFLES. This corps .was originated with a view of forming in the first instance a self-supgo r ting7force,-and postponing until the formation of a company on that principle was Completed, the •Censiderr....tion of •the practicability. of uniting with it 2.ny . number of that portion of the rural population cf the district whose: means. are not such as to enable. them to dcfray the expense of their own cquip. - - ment. The first self-supporting company, though nearly foamed, is not yet embodied, but numerous applications having bean made to the committee by the leading gen tlemen, of the district, to know on what terms the•arti son classes .would be 'permitted to join Ihe. corps, and many applications for admission having been made by the artisans themselves, they have taken ,he eubjoct into careful consideration, and have determined on laying the following statethent before the Tublic : . . . The terra art:san is used merely as a corn - enlent term for descrii - iing that class in society who, want of 'pecuniary. moons, are unable to defray the expense of their own contment.' • It was determined at the yonliminary nectings at - which this corps was 21, in ac..lolance with what is the general feel no.'; • ,Lonntry, that the corps ought to be forrn.l .• . It is, - therefore, necessary to weigh very carefully any step that may be taken, and AO consider . not only its present feasibility, but whether it can he permanently stntained. It wonld be, easy to recruit the working class ' in almost unlimited nurabers, by offering them a gratui tous equipment, in addition -to the • amusement of. rile praCtice and the attraction of uniform; and no doubt, if the promoters of the Childviall Corps were to begin by getting together, as they might easily do, a large force of the working class, - embodying them, electing officers, and procee(:'.ing to drill, the pablic might be induced in their present state of excitement to subscribe the funds necessary for their equipment. But the question is, 'would the force so collected have any of the elements of permanency ? The _nresent excitement will, in all proba • bility, 'if there is a continuance of peace, subside in the Course of twelve months, and in two er thme years time, When the uniforms and. accoutrements of the. force would need renewal, the attempt to' raise the same amount of subscriptic;us .over again for that.purpose, would, in all probabnity, meet with'very indifferent success--dissatis faction and . discouragement would result ;—it would be found difficult or impo.l.;le. 'to -rcdnee the force to meet the reduced state of the funds, an in all probability the whole would be broken up,' and the abortive' attempt would, except for the display of the vigour of the country at the present juncture, h ave,done more harm than good. • It does not, however, follow that •it is impossible to establish any system- upon Which the • working. elan Jos may be taken into the''corps in 'mhderate numbers, with a, reasonable .prosped of beirz" able to make thud a perinara.'_n_t. nr . -t of the how this ron 'and ) - n it. • .:viii , of the selfno,in -• : , -,:• to, cf the strong pre ,tair,al-4o r lid not be the same e.t:teri!:, it is if the nt,:pt in view of putting the corp permanent footing, it is desirable, as' far . as practicn',.,:e, to prefer a large outlay in the first year, to a regular annual oufgoinehercafter. Therefore the buildings and grounds required for the Use of the corps, should, as far as possible,, be -pUrchased, in preference ; to taking them at an annual rent. , - . It will be neccs.ry to have three ::rill-rooms, with a . storehouse. attached to each'; pie, at Wayertrec, one at Woolton, and one at Garston; and . one of these must be mane the head-quarters, of the corps. If any con siderable: number of mernhbrs' should join from the lluyton district, it may be' necessary, to have a drill room at Llnyton also ; bat, for theinarpOse,of the present report it is sufficient to deal. With the three first-named localities, for, if ace extension, to'lluyton should become , desirable; the accession otinembers that wonld invite to, that step Would he attended by an increase in tha funds that would cover the extra 'expense. It will be easy ! in the first instance, to obtain gratuitous use of school-roor - :;s or other Odnvenient'build ings to drill in, but the continued gratuitous use Of such buiklin,gs cannot .be relied on as a permanent accom modation. If it were practicable, it would be desirable to pur chase a piece of land, and build a drill-room and store house at each of the three stations of the force, but as this would be a very heavy demand upon the funds, it may be sufficient to previde,ene permanent drill,ground and storehouse at the head-quarters, and to rent the necessary accommo d a tion it the Other two stations. In• this manner the burden , keeping up the permanent stations of the force will fall partly on the fund to be rAised by donatifins and partl y on the annual sub s3riptions. Until a piece of land is actually in view it is difficult to put down the expense of the drill-room and store house at head-quarters with accuracy. £3OO would, however, probably cover the absolutely necessary outlay; and, by taking advantage of school-rooms or other existing buildings, suitable accommodations might be provided at each of the other, two, stations for £l5 or £2O a-year. The next item to be eonsidered is the practice-ground-. This must be not less than 1,000 yards in 'length, and will be fixed upon in some central and convenient locality, and, as it would be necessary to erect an: expensive butt and screens, it should be taken upon a lease. ,It would be unsafe to assume that this - co - ald be had for. a mere auicultura i l rent ; therefore, let £2O a-year be assumed as the rent. It would be necessary to level tlaehedges and probably remove trees on this land, andto fence it in at the s id es , so as to keep cattle from trespas,sing during the, hours of. practice. £3OO may be put, down for the, expense of the butt and screens, and another 4100.f0r, levelling hedges and. making fences, and, more for a shed to licep the targets in. .• There would be some annual expense for a person ; to look after the ground and fences, say 2s. 6d. a week, or £6 10s. a year. • - It has been held out to intending members that arms will be provided by the corps for those who are not de sirous of purchasing their own. It is, however, scarcely necessary to estimate this as a' probable expense. For the Government now supplies 50 per cent. of rifles, and it may be safely assumed that at least 50 per cent. of the members will supply their. own. The first outlay of the corps, according to the previous estimates, will therefore be as fellows : Dill-ground and storehouse at - head quarters Butts and screens at practice-ground Fences and levelling hedges, ........ 'Cargets and shed for same Contingencies • £3OO 0 0 - 300 0 0 100 0 0 50 0 0 50 0 0 £BOO 0 0 ""The annual expense of the force may be estimated as follows : Sergeant's wages, at LI a week ..

This would give a revenue as follows :- 150 Ordinary Members, at £1 Is. each £157 10 0 40 Honorary Members, at £2 2s. each B4 0 0 £241 10 0 The entrance fees of these members would constitute a fund of £199.105. 'Of this, £5O would be needed to Cover advertising and printing, and other preliminary expenses, and the remainder ought in prudence to be reserved to cover unforeseen expenses. The result of this calculation is, that in order to start the self-supporting part of the corps on a permanent f oo ting, a fund of at the very least £BOO would be neces sary. These expenses however having once been in lured the p 9 ernaanent establishment could be made available !fol. a - mush larger. number of men ..without• much additional outlay, and would - therefore-afford un usual facilities for the economical maintenance of -additional companies of the artisan class. • .If it were proposed to raise two such companies of 75 each, the expenses might be estimated as follows :,---They ought to be clothed as economically as possible. The costume recommended by Lord Elcho of a .grey serge blouse, with trousers of the same materials, - and gaiters, with bolt and cap, costs, according to his estimate,. 28s. for , the suit, and 10s. for belts, total £1 18s.- This may be an under estimate, but £3, viz., £2 10s. for uniform, -and 10s. for belts would certainly be amply sufficient for the expende of the undress and accoutrements of several of the self-supporting Liverpool corps, only slightly exceeds that sum, The Government would ,supply 50 per cent. cf- the arms renuired, which allowance will probably soon be increased.; but supposing it is not, the long Enfield with bayonet can be purchased for £3 each. The expenses of equipping and arming, these two companies would then be as follows LIVERPOOL WINTER ASSIZES. CROW.iT COURT,. YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. Baron MARTIN.) BURaLALX AT MANCIIESTER. —Rich &rd. Tat er.sall (30) was indicted for having,. on the 23rd of August, 1859, barglariously entered the dwelling-house of Edward Logan, at Manchester, and stolen therefroni several artieses of wearing apparel. The. prisoner, was stated to be a deserter from the ship Hastings. The defence wan, that he had entered the house &the prosecutor for the purpose of obtaining some means of disguising himself, and for that purpose he tool: the articles in queetion. The jury found the prisoner, guilty. The prisoner was sent back to hiS ship. CriaendklnithEn..ay LIVERFe OL —Mary Ann Intawles (20) was indicted for the wilful murder of a new born male child, on the 23rd of October lest, at Liver pool, It appear -at the prisoner had lived for some weeks previous a: ahove date as a servant at 3:88,' Scotland-road, and j in that service she' slept with a married, woman --• eed Singleton, who accused the prisoner, about awe :h after she went to the house, of being in the family eny, but she denied it. She was often accused, and as : admitted that she was in the family way. On Sue, ae s • night, the 23rd of October, the prisoner and .errs.. Singleton .went to bed about half-past ch;:t a'clock, and cheat one or two o'nloela in morning the prisOner got - en en: walked about the room for some time, saying she end a pain in her face. She went down stairs to light a Ere and ,get,' seine salt to put to her face, as she said, and she re mained there for some three qUarters of an hour. When she went up stairs, -Mrs. Singleton said to the prisoner, " You have delieered yourself of a child—where is it ?" She denied it at first, but when Mrs. Singleton got up her suspicions were canfirnied, - and the prisoner then ad mitted to having given birth to a still-corn child. The body of the child was found in a cupboard in the cellar, • where the prisoner said :she had put it. The prisoner was giVen into custody, and the body of the child handed over to . a surgeon, who found that death had been caused by congestion of •the brain, arising from a fall or a laloW.The jury acquitted the prisoner of wilful murder, but tbund her guilty of concealing the birth of the child.— , His Lordship, in passing sentence, said if the evidence of the surgeon had satislied him that the prisoner had caused the death of - her child, .hee : shoeld have put a severe punishment upon her ; but as the who gave his evidence in a very ,earadid and straightforward manner, thought that deatinmight have been caused by an accident as readily.as by any act of hers, he:would sentence her to three months' imprisonment. • A HUSBAND KILLED BY•IIIS WIFE AT LIVERPOOL. — Susan Trotter (23) was indicted for Leaving, at Liverpool, on the 3rd October last, wilfally inuree'red her husband, Alexander Trotter, _and, .was further charged With the manslaughter of the said Alexander Trotter. Mr. Aspinall conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Pope defended the prisoner. , The prisoner lived -with her haebane'a in a court ,off Stew:fill-street, and on the evening of the 3rd of October both the prisoner and the c" I' had been drieking. A quarrel took place hetween them, and the prisoner went "down into the court called her husband to - come down and she NVO;11:: iliM Ver4iit sio .would do. She kept .up a greet a....s far. some time, and continued to dare. her ._ e• to cothe dowse. The husband at last came dewn ,and, after a-. great deal of abusive and Jihreateeleg language had passed.between them; when he went into the court, a, - man reamed Edward Roach saw the woman take a white-handled table-knife out of her pooket. The husband made a rush et the prisoner, ar.d.she put a chill which she held in h. : arms down against the •wall, • :and rail away, and the deceased feqowed.. She went back again, and me _he deceased making a second rush at tlse his head down, she drew the knife and stab's— .1 in die breast. The deceased then fell upon the e: i and cried out ." , stabbed," and soon afe,..e expired: Nothing could-exceed, the sorrowof the woman when she saw what sht had done. The jury found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter. The learned judge, addressing the j. prisoner, said she had been convicted of the manslaughter of her own husband, and that crime was committed, when she was under the influenee of drink. If anything would be a Warning to people he thought that ought to be.. He .dared say when she was sober she would never hd,ve thought of taking away the life of her husband ; but, as it was, she had taken a knife- and stabbed him, and then at the moment she had done the deed repented it. , She had brought a More severe punishment uPon herself than he could inflict. She was left a widow with two . children, who might have *been respectably taken care of if her, har:sband had still lived to support them. She .Was" sentenced to three months' imprison ment. FORGERY AT PB;a7.oN.—Denis :1.1. 4 C0y• (40) was indicted for having in his possession at Preston, on the 31st October last, three, moulds • for the purpose of making counterfeit coin. Mr. Cobbet and Mr. Whig ham conducted the- prosecution. It was proved that the prisoner had on three occasions passed, or attempted to - pass, base coins, and when taken into custody moulds for making counterfeit coin were found in his possession. .• He was sentenced to five year penal servitude.

It would not be :lesirable to extend the numbers -of these companies beyond the number of 75 effcctives each, and a public notice that the corps were ready to receive 150 respectable young Men, would bring in double the number of applications, from which selection might be made, and so a corps formed of picked men. In thbse companies, as well as in the self-supporting companies, the men mast be arrangedincompames orsub-divisions, as may be found to be most convenient for keeping the man of each district together. The.uniform would probably need replacing in three years; but the belt and pouch might be expected to last double that time. This would give - an expense of £375 at the cud of the first three . years, and £450 at the end of six years, which sums, spread over the six years, would pre £1:37 10s. as the necessary annual expense of the maintenance of this part of the force. ,To meet this expense, it might properly be required of the members of these companies that they should pay a subscription of not less than 10S. a-year, which, for 150 men, would give £75. It might also •be required that they should find some members from • amongst themselves, by rota tion, to take charge gratuitously of the two district store rooms, which te()ald effect 'a saving of £26 'per annum. This 'would still leave an annual deficiency. of £3O 10s., which would not be• a very formidable sum to expeet the public to contribute for the maintenance of • two efficient • companies. lii the' rst year, however, it must be regiolle.:tcd that one sergeant coild not drill all the four companies, as the wc7:lo. not be sufficient for more than one 'company to drill at a time.

(36), and Peter Mahon (35), were, charged with having' at Liverpool, on. the 'l9th November last, feloniod,sly uttered' a .counterfeit - shilling, well :knowing the same to be false and counterfeit, they. havingbefore been convicted ef.a like offence. . • The female. prisoner was further charged with a:similar offence on the 18th November.. The female prisoner gave a base shilling to a little girl named Emma Haydock, and sent her to a butcher's shop for half-a-pound of mutton chops. When the shilling was tendered for payment it was found to be bad, and the little girl then told that as woman bad sent her. Two Officers' of the detective force were watching the proceedings of the two prisoners, and observed the male prisoner leave the female prisoner to wait for the little girl, while he went to watch if the fraud would be detected. The ()leers arrested the prisoners, and the little girl pointed out the . woman as the person who had given.. her the shilling. The woman Called a witness to prove 2. that the" male prisoner was her husband. His lordship explained to the jury that the law said the wife could net he found guilty of such an offence, as she was considered to be in-. tluenced by the husband: The jrny.found the male prisoner guilty.; and the second charge against the woman was proceeded with, - and she was found guilty._ The prisoners asked for mercy. His lordship said there never. were two persons at the ar who had less ground to ask for mercy. He knew that Peter Mahon had been con victed no less 'than fouritimes.

FRENCH 'WARNING TO GREAT BRITAIN.—The other day,. two French officers who came to this country, said to a' friend; " The thing that strikes as most in this conntry—(thii was three or four weeks ago)—is the abominable audacity of the English . people ; they seem to 'make no preparations, and to care nothing about what is said or done elsewhere; and yet," added these men, who were by no means hostile to England, "it is a pity that they are not•more attentive and active; and We•can. tell you that the time is not far distant when attention and activity on their part may come: too late." lan MAJESTY AND THE CULTIVATION OP' ltuste.—, The choir of the - quarrymen employed in. the Per:rhyn quarries have • just had presented to them a handsome silver cup, the 'gift - of her • Majesty and ,the Prince Consort, in acknowledgment of their performance on the recent royal visit to Penrhyn Castle. The illustriouS donors hope that the cup may be regarded as an ex pression "of the . approval with which . her Majesty and his Royal 'lig,lirress regard the cultivation of so laudable and humanising a taste, and of their 'wish that all should unite in encouraging a mode of employing their leisure hours 'so'likely to prove beneficial to their social' and moral condition. `VISIT OF PRINCE LUCIEN BONAPARTE TO BARNSLEY. —Last week Prince Lucien Louis Napoleon Bonaparte arrived'at.Barnsley, and paid a visit to the author ef - the well-known Pogmoor Almanack. ,Fkom his 'quiet and unostentatious mode of travelling, scarcely any .sue was aware of the visit of his Imperiall - Highness until he had left the town. The object of Prince Lucien's visit was, we understand, to procure materials for the tranilation of the Songs of Solomon" into the dialect of the dis trict. His Imperial Highness has, for many years, noticed " Tom Treddlehoyle's " works, and particularly the " Visit to t'Great French Exhebeshan of 1855 " (which was dediCated to the Emperor Napoleon), and, from this circumstance was led to visit our townsman, who has undertaken to write the Songs of Solomon in the Barnsley dialect. Prince Lucien has recently visited Sheffield, but did not like the dialect, considering that it was not pure as that of the Barnsley district.—Leeds Mercury. - THE COAL TnADE.:—During the month of November the total quantity of coal and coke exported from the various coal ports- of Great Britain was 436,044 tons of coal, and - 12,554 tons of coke.

I don't want to flatter the mayor at all, but four weeks before any one o'ye spoke of it, -I spoke about the silver cradle. A - long time before I - knew the mayor, and before he was in the council at all, I found charitable movements in him for many years. I hadn't the honour o' knowing him till I met him at the gas meetin! first; an' was introduced to - him by Mr. M'Ostrioh at the gas, which he joined i and whiCh we saved thirty. ner cent for the people. Now, he joins everything that's a locomotive . of his principles. (Shouts - of laughter.) He do; indeed, and only for our lookin' for .our locomotive principles ; what 'adhecoMe . ov us ? (Laughter.) I hope the Harbour Board woult, be thanked- for not to - look to our harbour, sir, an' mindin' our locomotive principles and our inthrests in: the harbour. (Much laughter.) I spoke out my mind about thim -before, an' in doin' so I pronosed about • two. or three weeks' 'ago, that we get up. a - silver cradle . for Lady Arnott(hear, hear, and laughter) and the raisin I done so, because she was the wife of . a respectable ,an! charitable man, who was giving, before ever he was in the , council at all, charity every PhriStnias•—(hear, hear)long . --before I ever seen him. (Laughter.) Gentlemen, I had a great friendship for his kindness to the poor of every class and every reli gion ' • and, besides that, s i r , h ere ' s th e - gen tl eman th a t gave Mrsi—Mrs.—Mrs. Ryan, in . Limerick—she got a • large one there: (Laughter:). - I suppose, as-much in one half-year as he gives; Mrs. Arnott gave thirty times more.—(hear, and laughter)—and if he was not in the council at all, I think we really ought to pay him a com pliment, (Hear, hear.) Now, here's ;82,500 distributed to the poor and all kinds of religions by his means. •Un der these circumstances, I do him the honour of proposing that we give a silver cradle to Lady Arnott, for she's a kind, humble-hearted being. (Laughter.) She is, and she hos none of those, pretended aristocratic airs about her that sonic of our daughters have sometimes. (Loud laughter, and cries of " Have- they ?") They have, I assure you; and sometimes they - don't know themselves' or anybody else. (Renewed laughter.) She has no unfriendly feeling to her husband. (Shouts of laughter.) What the d are you janghing at ? Sure ye know very well 77 we that's married - men know very woll—that our wives often - differ with us. (Laughter.) 01course . ye know well they do—in religion, sir, an' charity.. But she is always, I'm teuld; supporting. him in the principles of a kind hearted . lady. (Laugh ter.):. - I hope we'llg-iVeher a decent one ; and- one that will be the proper size, an' not one o' thim little things • that I heard it was to be.—The p ro p os iti on was agree to by acclamation. ANOTHER, BREACH . OF PROMISE CASE. An action. for breach of promise of marriage, Armitage v. Chaplin, was tried in the Queen's Bench, on Monday, 'beforeM r..JUstice - Blackburn. The de fendant pleaded, fki:St,.that he did not promise, and secondly, that' after making, the promise, the 'plaintiff rcs.oindeet the agree:nent to marry.- The plaintiff joined issue on the first plea, and to, the second plea replied that she was induced to rescind the agreement through the fraud of the defendant. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Henry James were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Serjeant Petersdorff and Mr. Robinson -were counsel for the defendant. Mr. Edwin James, in addressing the jury, said this was an action .brought by the plaintiff, Miss Clara Armitage, a young lady of considerable personal attrac tions, about 26 years of age, to recover compensation in ,damages from the defendant for a breach of promise of marriage. The plaintiff was a younc , lady, the niece of a merchant carrying . on business, who, on the death of her mother, adopted her,, and had brought her up and educated her. In 185.5, the plaintiff, who was super intending apastrycook's business in the Arcade, London Bridge,, became . acquainted with .the defendant, • who carried on business in . the same place. as a jeweller 'and watchmaker. The defendant was introduced by the • plaintiff to her -uncle and other members of -her family as her future husband, and they continued on terms of intimacy 'from 1855 to 1858, when the de fendant suddenly broke off. the match, on the ground that he was too ill for the marriage state. •It, however, tudwil out that the defendant, at the same time that he •brokeloff the match, was engaged to another, and, in September, 1859, he married - a lady possessed of con siderable property. - The learned counsel referred to the letters that had passed from the defendant to the plain tiff,,of the most ardent character, and called upon the jury to give the plaintiff substantial damages. Evidence in proof of the learned counsel's statement was then given: • • . Sin letters, out of a volume of 379, written by the defendant to - the plaintiff were put in and read. They were couched in the most tender and affectionate terms and spoke of his affection to her, and her having en trusted herhappine,ss to him. Most of them commenced with " My dear Clara," "My dear, dear Clara ;" but one of them was addressed, " My dear, dear, dear Clara." The following letters were put in and read:- 1 "My dearest Clara,—lt grieves me very much, in deed, dear, to think that 'we . did not meet on Sunday night.
