LIVERPOOL ROYAL INFlRMARY.—Yesterday week, at the meeting of the trustees, it was agreed to spend £5,000 in the erection of new wards, and in alterations of the present building. ANCIENT LIVERPOOL.—A really interesting exhibition has just been opened at the Old Assembly-rooms, in Tarleton-street. It is a model of Liverpool as it stood 200 years ago ;—such a diminutive village among green fields, trees, and hedges, that a comparison with its pre sent state is truly astonishing. It is of the dimensions of 20 feet by 14, and should be visited by every one as a genuine curiosity, while, at the same time, it is eminently instructive. It has been very cleverly executed ; and, being visible from every side, is perfectly intelligible. TRANSATLANTIC STEAMERS.—On Wednesdey after noon, the United States mail steam-ship Arctic, Captain Luce, with the usual mails for the United States, Canada, &c., sailed from the Mersey for New York, with 154 pas sengers, and a large and valuable cargo of merchandise on freight.

DISASTROUS INUNDATIONS.—The recent heavy rains have destroyed an immense amount of property through out the kingdom, and caused the loss of several lives. The River Wye rose on Saturday week, at Hereford, ten feet in three hours, and destroyed a vast quantity of hay. A villa on the banks, inhabited by an old lady named Lawrence, her daughter, two granddaughters, and two servants, was thrown down by the furious torrent on the previous Friday evening, all in it being buried in one com mon ruin. At Brecon the River Honddu swept through the town, tore up the piers of an old bridge, and threw down several cottages, three of their inmates, one a bed ridden old man, being drowned. The canal at the village of Dymoke, in Herefordshire, burst its banks, flooded all the adjacent fields, and submerged numerous cottages. During the past week all the country round Banbury has been under water, and both there and at Brackley all the hay crops and numerous sheep have been entirely swept away. At Llanddowror, in Carmarthenshire, a bridge over which the mail-coach passes, has been thrown down; and at Leicester the streets have been so flooded that the inhabitants hare been forced to go from house to house in carts, paying a penny each journey. At Preston, the quantity of rain that fell from nine o'clock on Saturday morning week until nine the following morning was equal to the average for a month in that part of the country. The cellars in the lower part of the town were flooded, and the old sewers were found totally inadequate to carry off the great quantity of water that had fallen. The main sewers at the Svke and below West Cliff burst from the pressure. A *all was washed down, and one of the re servoirs adjacent to Messrs. Dawson's new mill, in Fylde road, was filled to the brim with water, and there being no proper overflow, it burst a portion of the wall of the weaving -shed, into which it rushed with great force. The low lands in various parts of Lancashire were flooded, and considerable injury done to the hay and other crops. At Croston and Rufford the " finnies" were under water, and many of the meadows have suffered much. In the village of Croston the water was some feet deep, and washed into the various cellars. In the Fylde the injury done has been very great, more especially in the neigh bourhood of St. Michael's, Woodplumpton, &c. THE EARL AND COUNTESS OF EGLINGTON left Lon don on Tuesday, for Knowsley Park, the seat of the Earl of Derby. THE ATTENDANCE at the Corporation Schools, for the past month, has been as follows:—North School, 856; South School, 925. WARNI7.,:G. TO OMNIBLIg RIDERS.—On Tuesday an old lady had her pocket picked, in a dock omnibus, of £2O in notes and £4 in goad. CURIOUS.—A tomtit has hatched a brood of seven in a two•quart can, at Ormskirk. The utensil was covered by a close-fitting lid, and its only aperture a small spout. WORKMEN' are now busily engaged opposite the front of the Custom-house in levelling the ground so as to form a line with the new dock road to the south. ?MORTALITY IN LIVERPOOL.—The deaths registered ❑p to Saturday week numbered only 164, being 41 less than the average of the same week of the preceding five years : 103 were children, and 59 adults. PRESENTATION.—There is now on view. at Mr. Mayer's, Lord-street, a handsome piece of plate, to be presented to the Rev. J. Gibson, M.A., incumbent of Garston, by his congregation, on the cccasion of the 36th anniversary of his ministry. MR. W. JACKSON, M.P., accompanied by Mrs. Jackson and their son, Mr. H. P. Jackson, Mr. Betts, and Mr. R. Stephenson. M.P., sailed on Saturday, with a numerous railway staff, in the Asia, for New York, en route to Canada. THE ELECTION OF PAVING COMIMSSIONERS FOR TOXTETH PARK took place on Friday morning, at the public offices, Park-place, Messrs. Mathew Gregeon, John Y. Lee, Wm. Rathbone, John Lathbury, and R. V. Yates, were re-elected. A LITTLE FOUNDLING, aged three months, to whom the name of George Limekiln had been given in con sequence of his having been found exposed and deserted in Limekiln-lane, died suddenly in the Liverpool work house on Tuesday last. CLITHERO ELECTION COMMITTEE. — The following committee has been nominated :--Mr. G. A. Hamilton, chairman ; Sir T. Herbert, Sir J. Duke, Mr. Butt, and Mr. S. Laing. The member petitioned against is Mr. Aspinall. A BrarTAL FELLOW, named James Duffy, possessing great strength, has been committed for trial at the sessions, on a charge of stabbing two peaceable men, George Booth and James Webb, on Sunday evening week, at the corner of Northumberland-street. A POOR DRUNKEN OLD WOMAN, named Ann Kelly, living in the Vauxhall-road, while wandering about in a state of mazy intoxication on Wednesday morning, between one and two o'clock, fell into the George's-dock ; she was shortly rescued and carried to the receiving. house, where she expired in the course of the morning. MYSTERIOUS CASE.—The body of a man, apparently about thirty years of age, with sundry initials engraved on his person, was found floating in tho Rock Channel on Wednesday; he appeared to have been a couple of weeks in the water. He has not been claimed, nor has the smallest clue to his name been obtained. THE TWELFTH or JULY.—The Orangemen of the town kept this anniversary on Tuesday. In deference to the wishes of the Mayor, there was no public procession, but a number of lodges assembled in the forenoon at Wavertree, outside of the borough, and walked in pro cession, accompanied by two excellent bands, towards Aigburth. In the evening the brethren dined at their respective lodge-rooms. SHOCKING DEPRAvITY.—An inquest was held on Thursday, on the body of an infant, seven weeks old, named John Thomas, whose parents, Thomas and Mar garet Thomas, live at No. I], Ray-street. Both parties had been in a state of intoxication the previous night, and the deceased died in consequence of having beep overlain by the mother. The jury expressed their utter disgust at the conduct of both of the parents. CURIOUS FACT IN ORNITHOLOGY.—SOMe weeks ago, Mr. James Bamber, of Little Eccleston, near Garstang, found a throstle's nest, with a mother bird in the act of incubation on three of her own eggs. He took out two eggs, and substituted three hen eggs. The poor throstle continued her maternal duty, and in due time two chickens and one throstle made their appearance. The young family were allowed to retain their native quarters; but the hand of some ruthless school-boy stole the whole away. FACTION-FIGHT IN LIMERILN-LANE.—On Friday, Michael Shea, William Preston, John Brannon, Henry Spink, and Margaret Burke, were placed in the deck before Mr. Mansfield, at the police-court, for an out rageous party-fight on Thursday afternoon, at the head of Wright-street, in Limekiln-lane. Window shutters and frames were smashed, and a pistol was fired by one of the mob. The presiding magistrate said something must be done to put a stop to such practices, and that the prisoners must be fined 40s. and costs, with three months' imprisonment in default of payment. Funs.—The number of foreign buyers at the Hudson Bay Company's late sale considerably affected the prices of furs. Skins have not realised, for many wears, so high prices; some lots of Sables fetched fifty shillings a skin. Mr. John Cripps, of Bold-street, anticipating the advance, fortunately bought a great number of skins previous to the sale, and will have manufactured, by the first of August, nearly one thousand boas in Min sable, real ermine. v er y c h o i ce , Mi n i ver , and Chinchilla, which he will offer all at one guinea each. Of these, he feels con vinced, equal value cannot be given in the season under thirty-five shillings ; also, a variety of dark sables, equally cheap.—Shawl, Mantle, and Fur warehouse, No. 14 and 'l6. Bold-street, Liverpool. John Cripps, proprietor. TUE ISLE. OF MAN STEAMER, MONA'S QUEEN, on her voyage from Do ug l as t o t hi s port, on Thursday, was visited by an acc id ent to the starboard paddle,hich rendered it necessary to stop the engine. It was blowing a gale at the time. 'Finding that it would be impossible to get steam on th e vesse l again without risking further injury, Captain Quayle set sail on the vessel, and the steamer came along in capital style under canvass. She reached the river in time to dock, and that night a mes sage was sent by electric telegraph to Glasgow, to Messrs. Thomson, the builders, requesting them to send up new parts to repair the injury done to the wheel. During the time the vessel was knocking about, Captain Quayle was capsized on the deck, and had his right leg cut and bruised. The passengers all unite in attributing the absence of any serious result to the coolness and judgment displayed by Captain Quayle, and they have presented him with an address to that effect. DOCK COMarITTEE.—Mr. Turner presided at the meet ing of the dock committee, on Thursday.—Mr. M'Cor mack's tender for excavating the Wapping dock, at a cost of £60;000 to £70,000, to be finished in two years, was accepted.—The tender of Messrs. Jones and Jump, for some erections on the west side of the Huskisson dock, at a cost of £3,400, was also accepted.—A sum of £225 was agreed to be paid to different parties as compensation for injuries sustained by their property by the works at Wapping. The committee agreed to purchase 2028 square yards of land, at a price of £17,602, from Messrs. Lowndes, Robinson, and Bateson, assignees of Messrs. Barton, Islam, and Higginson, at Tabley-street, Wap ping. —A letter was read from the Rev. George Dover, thanking the committee for the annual grant towards the maintenance of a clergyman at the North dock works. —A plan for the alteration of the position of the report ers' table was approved, and signed by the chairman. —Mr. Bold gave notice that at the next meeting of the committee he would bring forward a motion, to the effect that the Bramley-Moore dock in future be called the Sefton dock. CAPTURE BY THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH. T he screw-steamer Scandinavian, Captain Rayner, trading betwetin Hull and Gothenburg, left the latter port on the Ist instant, with about 230 emigrants. Amongst them was a youn g man, whose luggage was addressed "C. Arviditson,"but we believe his real name is Carl Winberg. The Scandinavian arrived in Hull on Monday week, hut did not get into dock until next morning. The emigrants she brought at once left for Liverpool en route to Ame rica, Winberg allowing his luggage to go in the customs' van with the emigrants. Winberg, who is between 25 and 30 years of age, has been in the employ of Messrs. Willer ding and Co., Gothenburg, and it was discovered after his l departure th a t h e h a d a bsconded with an amount of at £6OO. On the Tuesday, Messrs. Anderson, Hober, and Co., the Hamburg correspondents of Messrs. Willer ding, received an intimation of the flight and embezzlement which had taken place, and at once addressed messages by the submarine telegraph, via Ostend, to Messrs. Wilson and Co., of Hull, the owners of the Scandinavian ; and also to a London firm, who telegraphed to Messrs. Clay and Squire, the Swedish consul at Hull. Messrs. Wilson's ttoelwengroap n li th to e communication reached H u ll on th e T ues d ay evening, but too late to be of any serv i ce . H owever early on Wednes- L day morning, steps were t a k en f or tracing and capturing the iv e ru r p n o n o w l, a they . aat once Dispatching set t a b emes policesage ofb that ytl'e alert. A clerk in the employ of Messrs. Wilson and Co. left for Liverpool, on the same morning ; and in the even ing a clerk of Messrs. Clay and Squire, accompanied b Police-constable Grea v e s , o f th e H ull force, also went in y pursuit. It seems that the latter left Hull soon after seven, but did not reach Liverpool until the Thursday morning, when proceeding at once to the office of the Swedish consul, they found the prisoner in custody of a Liverpool detective and Messrs. 'Wilson's cl er k, and just ready for being returned to Hull. The prisoner and his captors reached this town on Thursday evening, about half-past six o'clock. He was again placed on board, and kept under strict surveillance. Winberg returned to Gothenburg by the Scandinavian, which left Hull for that port last Saturday. We understand that within ten minutes after the receipt of the information at Liverpool, the prisoner was in custody. The money which he had in his possession was about £Boo.—Eastern Counties Herald. THE LATE ELECTION. ANALYSIS OF THE POLL. The following is a complete analysis of the polling at the recent election, showing the numbers in the several districts, and also the azeregate voting, as divided between the respective candidates; distinguishing the Freemen : THE TOBACCO AND SNUFF TRADE -7. F LIVERPOOL.— In Liverpool the trade is in the hands of half-a-dozen importers, and just the same number of brokers. There are 22 manufacturers, and 160 tobacconists, or retailers. The deliveries of last year were equivalent to 8,380 tons gross in weight, and, at an average of 4d. per lb., or £25 per hogshead, ex defy, £365,000 in value. The stock, 7,912 tons, value £3-14,000. In addition to these hogs heads of American tobacco, we received the following im ports into Liverpool last year, 1852: viz., 2,800 boxes or kegs, manufactured ; 2,129 b: les and 139 chests leaf to bacco, and 178 cases cigars, the weight of which amounted to nearly 400 tons, and the value £40,000. The twenty two manufacturers of tobacco in Liverpool cut the leaf into what is termed shag, bird's-eye, roll, cavendish, negro, and pigtail, to the extent of about 1,200 hhds., equivalent i to 660 tons n e tt, p er annum, w hi ch manufac ture s afterwards distributed in the town and country in smaller casks of two to five cwt., to all parts of Great Britain. Very few cigars are imported into Liverpool. There are about half-a-dozen persons who manufacture cigars in the town, to the extent altogether of nearly 100 tons a year, who, with the manufacture of cut tobacco, afford employment to upwards of 400 individuals. This trade has much increased of late years ; but the manufac ture of snuff is still very inconsiderable. Tobacco pipes are made in Liverpool by nine makers, working fifteen kilns, and employing nearly 150 individuals, one moiety being females. The quantity exported . last year from Liverpool amounted to 700 tons in weight, and £15,000 in value. About GOO tons pipeclay, brought coastwise from Teignmouth, in Devonshire, is consumed annually in the manufacture. The entire trade of tobacco, &c., in this port, amounts to 9,480 tons in weight, and £420,000 in value, ex duty, per annum.—B. P. HEALTH COMMITTEE.—Mr. Langsdale presided at the weekly meeting on Wednesday. Mr. Beckwith called attention to a memorial (read before the committee), from the shopkeepers of Lord-street, complaining of theineffi cient manner in which the street was watered. They desired that, in future, the Health Committee would cease to collect the water rate from them, and they would provide themselves with the requisite quantity of water. The chairman said that the amount for the purpose, £7OO, was taken out of the paving rate. Nothing could be done till next March. The memorial was referred.— Two tenders for number-plates for House-doors came be fore the committee, that of Mr. Laird (who was under stood to represent Fox, Henderson, and Co.), offering the plates at 16s. per cwt., and that of Messrs. Weber and Co., whose price was 16s. 6d. per cwt. Mr. Godfrey considered that as Weber and Co. were ratepayers, they ought to have the preference. On a division, the com mittee were found to be equally divided, and the chair man gave his casting vote in favour of Messrs. Weber. Mr. Beckwith, Mr. Gladstone, and Mr. Moss con demned the decision.—A report relative to the flagging of Mountpleasant, at an expense of £55, was referred for further consideration.—The subject of the crossing in Scotland-road was further adjourned to Thursday next. Mr. Godfrey intimated that he should move at the next meeting that the pavement in Scotland-road be taken up altogether, and adapted to the traffic. He considered that Mr. Newlands had made a mistake as to the road. — Mr. Henry Aymiley was appointed to succeed the late Mr. Lca as chief clerk in th e nu i sance department.— Mr. Moss submitted his motion, that the meetings of the general purposes committee be discontinued, and the business transferred to the ordinary meeting on Thursday, but, in consequence of an inf orma li ty in the notice, he would bring it forward at a future meeting.--M r . Hen derson gave notice that he intended to propose, at the next quarterly meeting, an increase in the salary' of the borough engineer. (Laughter, and cries of " Oh, oh.") Mr. Beckwith thought they had better at once increase the salaries of all the officers under the corporation—give them all what they liked. He added, " I really think (referring to Mr. Henderson) they will kick you out, as dead as Chelsea, if you come that—(laughter) ; 1 shall go cut myself next November; I really cannot sit here."

MAGNA CHARTA.—A movement is on foot, in London, for the erection of a monument to commemorate the signing of Magna Charta. COD FISHING.—A Stornoway correspondent, writing on Thursday, says—" An English cod smack arrived here on Tuesday night, from Iceland, with upwards of 14,000 cod fish, which they caught in 19 days." SCOTTISH LAW OF .ARREST.—The government has issued a commission to J. H. Burton, Esq., advocate, to inquire into the law of arrestment in Scotland, and also into the truck system and imprisonment for debt. IMPORTATION OF OPIUM. —The monthly accounts show a large importation of opium. In the month ended the sth ult., there were 9,699 lb. imported, and in the five months ended the same day no less than 65,354 lb., being the largest quantity for a considerable period. THE KING OF HANOVER has conferred on Mr. S. W. Fullom, the author of The Marvels of Science, and their Testimony to Holy Writ, the Royal Hanoverian Medal of the Arts and Sciences, as a mark of his approbation of that work. THE REV. MR. MACKINTOSH, a young, man, curate at Burton-upon-Trent, has been drowned while bathing in the sea at Sandycove, near Dublin. He could not swim, and seems to have been deceived as to the depth of the water, where he was bathing alone. WILLIAM YRLF, aced 53, who committed the late frauds on the Isle of Wight Savings'-bank, by which he appropriated to his own use £BOO a year, for ten years, out of the savings of the poor depositors, pleaded guilty to his arraignment, and has been sentenced to transporta tion for life. TREASURE TROVE.—Daring Friday and Saturday week above fifty sovereigns were found by different persons at the bottom of the river Stow, at Canterbury. A hair watch guard, with two gold keys and a seal, and a mourning ring, bearing the inscription, " The Right Hon. Lord Henniker, ob. 5 Dec., 1821, wt. 69," were also taken from the same spot. ARRIVALS OF AUSTRALIAN GOLD.—The Elizabeth Buckham, from Geelong, and the Sarah Ann, from Laun ceston, have arrived, the former with 200 ounces, and the latter with 126 ounces of gold, together of the value of about £1,304. The Templar, from Sydney, has arrived with, it is reported, 10,000 ounces, value about £40,000. She reports the Stebonheath to have left lAlelbourne on the 6th of April for London, with 46,000 ounces, value about £184,000. AUSTRALIAN NABOBS. —Among the passengers who came home in the Indus. which landed the Indian mails at Southampton, were 19 Australian returned emigrants, most of whom were from Melbourne. They wore white calico hats, and their hale, hearty, and John Bull appear ance formed a striking contrast to that of the Indian pas sengers. The salubrity of the climate from which they had come was manifested throughout the voyage in the range and power of their organs of digestion. They had all made rapid and large fortunes. SELLING A `Virg.—A case of selling a wife actually and bona fide happened in a provincial town about eighteen years ago. A man publicly sold his wife at the Market cross for £l5. The buyer carried her away with him some seven miles off, and she lived with him till his death. The seller and the buyer are now both dead, but the woman is alive, and is married to a third (or a second) husband. The legality of the transaction has some chance of being tried, as she now claims some property belonging to her first husband (the seller,) her right to which is questioned in consequence of her supposed alienation by sale, and a lawyer has been applied to in the case. - - - CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY. — At a meeting of the Crystal Palace Company, it was agreed to issue 50,000 new shares of £5 each. It was explained that the pros pect of the undertaking had much improved, and that whereas some few months since only 10s. per foot frontace for exhibition space could have been obtained, the whole would now readily let at £1 per foot. The expenditure up to August next would be about £490,000, which, making allowance for the money received from the sale of surplus lands (nearly £55,000), showed an outlay of £435,000, leaving £300,000 as the amount to complete the undertaking. The opening is to take place on the let of May next. HOIXIREAD NEW HARBOUR WORKS.—The new har bour at Holyhead is now continually affording shelter to large numbers of vessels which run in for protection, the works being so far advanced as to afford the required re fuge. As a harbour of refuge it is now being fully tested, and, when completed, it will form the largest in the king dom. Hundreds of sail have put in during the last few months. An area of 316 acres is being enclosed by a breakwater, three-fourths of a mile in length, with a sea pier 2,000 feet in length, and the average depth of water will be upwards of 30 feet. Millions of tons of stone have been deposited to form the foreshore and breakwater, and the daily delivery into the sea has been at the rate of 4,000 tons. This stone is obtained at " the mountain," about half a mile from Holyhead, where the blasting operations that are being carried on are the most extensive in the kindom. A VOICE FROM " THE DIGGINGS."—A gold-di4ger, writing from Bendigo Creek, Australia, to a friend in England, concludes his letter with the following unique and earnest appeal :—" Now, pray write once a month at least, and number your letters, that I may see whether I receive all. And, above all things vote for " Ocean Penny Postage." Go-ahead ,with that. A penny is enough for a letter. Our shippers only pay three farthings a pound for freight of wool, and less for tallow. I only paid £l5 for my passage out, which is 3,600 pence, and I believe I weigh 3,600 half ounces ! Besides, our shippers nearly kept me in food for 100 days, and 22 days more. Just try to remember that, and that a letter does not eat any thing. If the Ocean Penny Postage were established, Government would reap the advantage in paper duties, for the stationers would sell a ream where they now sell a quire. - emit LIST PENSIONS. —From a return just issued it appears that there were eleven pensions granted between the 20th June, 1852, and the 20th of June last, charged upon the civil list, and amounting to £1,200. To John Russell Hind, the astronomer, £200; Gideon Algernon Mantel!, the geologist, £100; Caroline Southey (widow o f th e l a te poet laureate), £2OO ; Nancy Taylor (widow of Col. Taylor, killed at Sohraon), £100; Francis Ronalds, for discoveries in electricity, &c., £75 ; Chas. Richardson, author. £l5 ; Louisa Stuart Costello, authoress, £75 ; Jane Pugin, wife of R. W. Pugin, architect, £lOO ; Eliza beth Hester Colby, wife of Major-General Colby, £lOO ; Jerdan, "in consideration of his services to lite rature for many years, and his distressed circumstances at an advanced period of life, £lOO ;" and Elizabeth M. w idow of the l a t e p ro f essor of Greek in the of Edinburgh, £75, a nd her three daughters, u D n un iv b e a r r sity for the survivors or survivor of them. NAVAL COAST VOLUNTEERS.—The bill for the esta blishment of a body of naval coast volunteers, and for the temporary transfer to the navy, in case of need, of sea faringmen employed in oth er pu bli c serv i ces , h as j us t beenpublished. There are twenty-four provisions in the bill. The Admiralty is to be empowered to raise not ex ceeding 10,000 men, to be cane' the " Royal Naval-Coast Volunteers." They are to be entered for five years, and may be trained and exercised for twenty-eight days in each year. In case of invasion or imminent danger, her M a j e sty may order the volunteers to be called into actual service. During exercise and actual service the men are to have the pay of able seamen. In case of emergency the officers and men of the coast-guard and seamen riggers may he required to serve in the navy for a limited period. Upon invasion or danger seafaring men in public depart. ments are to be called to temporary service in the navy. There are certain penalties set forth, and it is provided that persons not attending when called into actual service may be apprehended and punished as deserters from the Royal Navy. MANNING THE ROYAL NAVY.—Sir James Graham's Bill to make better provision concerning the entry and service of seamen, and otherwise to amend the laws con cerning her Majesty's navy, has just been issued. The object of the measure is to carry out the Admiralty regu lations of April last . , to extend the period of service to ten years instead of seven, and to extend the service of boys "hereafter entering the navy, and otherwise to amend the law concerning the manning and discipline of the navy." It is proposed to enact that any proclamation of her Majesty for the services of seafaring men, either during the time of peace or war, may be general or re stricted, and service of seamen in the navy may be ex tended by proclamation, saving the power of the Admiralty to enter for any periods and to discharge men. There is a provision that spirituous or fermented liquors are rot to be brought on board her Majesty's ships without the commander's consent. Desertion may be punished sum marily, and persons making fraudulent representations on entering the navy are to be punished as rogues and vagabonds. Railway companies are to convey naval forces on the same terms as military and police. THE POST-OFFICE.—Some annual returns relating to the Post-office department have just been printed. The total number of chargeable letters delivered in the united kingdom in 1839, preceding the first general reduction of postage on the sth of December, 1839, was 75,907,572, and 6,563,024 franked letters. Since the reduction letters have increased, and in the course of last year 379,501,499 were delivered. The gross revenue of the Post-office in the year ended the sth of January last was £2,434,326 16s. 7d., and the net revenue £965,442 Is. 71d. In the same period £329,963 14s. 4d. was paid for the convey ance of the mails by railway in the united kingdom. From the Ist of January to the 31st of December last there were 4,947,825 money-orders issued in the united kingdom, amounting to £9,438,277 17s. 2d., and the number paid was 4,942,859, amounting to £9,423.719 2s. 10d. The money-order office cost £70,669. The amount of commission received was £82,333. The profit in England and Scotland was £12,720, and the loss in Ireland £1,056. For the last five years there was a profit on the money-order office, except in 1848, when there was a loss of £5,745. In 1852 the profit was £11,664 ; in 1851, £7,437 ; in 1850, £3,236 ; and in 1849, £322. NEW DUTIES ON SPIRITS ACT.—The new act, which received the Royal assent last week, has just been printed, to impose additional duties on spirits in Scotland and Ireland, and to alter the countervailing duties on spirits the manufacture of Guernsey, Jersey Alderney, or Sark, imported into Scotland or Ireland, and the countervailing duties and drawbacks on the removal of certain mixtures and compounds between Scotland, Ireland, and England, and to amend the laws relating to the collecting and secur ing the duties of Excisa upon spirits. There are 41 clauses and several schedules in the new act, which has three periods of operation. As to the duties and draw backs granted and imposed and allowed, the act is to take effect from and after the 21st April last ; and as to the abatement or allowance to be made in respect to the de ficiencies in spirits warehoused, from and after the passing of the act (Sth of July inst.); and as to all other provisions, from and after the 10th of October next. The first part of the act relates to the additional duties mentioned, the next portion to the countervailing duties, and the third to the collecting and securing the duties of Excise on spirits. It is enacted that a proper spirit store is to be provided in every distillery, and the officer in charge of the same to attend daily. All spirits distilled are to be removed into the store w i t hi n s i x d ays . Permission is given by this act to distillers to carry on the trade of a wholesale dealer in spirits within the distance of two miles from the distillery. The additional duties and drawback! are to be under the management of the Commiationers of Inland Revenge. EVERTON DISTRICT. Total No. of Votes 420 ~ I'3, 1853. THE EXPORT BEER TRADE.—In the month ended the sth ult., the value of beer and ale exported was £136,147, against £74,933, at the same period of the pre ceding year. THE REPRESENTATION OF LONDON.—The Jewish Chronicle says :—" Arrangements are in progress for shortly commencing an energetic agitation for the purpose of enabling Baron Rothschild to take his seat for the House of Commons, to which he has been thrice elected by the citizens of London. We hear that, once com menced, the movement will not rest until this important object is fully attained." REMOVAL OF TIiOOPS FROM THE CAPE.—We have been for some time past aware that it was intended by the authorities to order the removal of some of the troops from the Cape of Good Hope on the cessation of the war in Caffreland, and it is now decided that the following changes will immediately take place:—The Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade, under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel George Buller, who left England for the Cape on the 2nd of January, 1852, are to return to England ; the 12th Prince of Wales' Royal Lancers, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Pole, who left England for India on the sth of July, 1851, but were detained on their arrival at the Cape of Good Hope for service against the Caffres, are now to proceed to India, to relieve the 15th (King's) Light Dragoons (Hussars), under the com mand of Lieutenant-Colonel George William Key, the regiment having been on service in India since 1839. NOVEL PAPER. —Some time back it was mentioned that paper with a novel kind of water mark had been produced at the mills of Mr. Thomas H. Saunders, of Darenth, in Kent, which would be likely to come into use not only for ornamental purposes, but also for bonds, checks, and other similar documents, as an extra precaution against forgery. The process enables portraits, landscapes, or any other subjects to be given with the same effect as in the German porcelain pictures, the graduated thickness of the paper at the various parts of the design creating, when it is held to the light, the requisite effects of light; and shade. It was invented by the late engineer of the Bank of England, and much time has since been spent in bringing it to per fection for practical purposes. All the early difficulties, however, are now stated to have been got over, and paper of this make has been adopted for specific objects, by some public companies, both at home and on the continent. FATAL ACCIDENT. —Mr. Jesse Oldfield, whose name has for many years been before the public in connec tion with the notorious Cobbett in various Chancery suits, met with his death under the following melancholy circumstances :—On Wednesday he was in his horse and chaise, on his way from London to his residence at Smitham Bottom, four miles from Croydon, and called on a friend at the latter place. After remaining some time, he determined to drive home, notwithstanding the torrent of rain. He quitted Croydon about eleven o'clock, hut not arriving home his family was kept up all night in a state of great anxiety, momentarily expecting his return. At four o'clock on Thursday morning, mes sengbrs were dispatched in search of him. They had not proceeded far, when, in a lane leading from Croydon to S:nitham Bottom. they discovered the horse and chaise of the deceased, the latter without an occupant. The search was resumed, and ended in the discovery of the body of the deceased, some distance from the spot where the horse and chaise were found, lying on his back at the side of the road, his skull dreadfully fractured, and his body otherwi s e awfully mutilated, the blood flowing copiously from the wounds, and his clothes satu r ated with rain. The precise time demised breathed his last could not be ascertained, but it is supposed that it was not long after his leaving Croydon that the fatal accident happened ; therefore probable that he must have lain for hours in the most excruciating agony. ofa speechT th t reEj SAlNTjuvenile eimadele AND mendicancy hd T ei t c l a E snt SAVAGE.—Lord chy instant, bill took on occasion i the e seco ntodShaftesbury,rreefaedr reading o n a chancery suit twenty-seven years ago, and to a speech of the late Earl of Eldon. In doing so the name of the Earl of Mornington was introduced. The ire of the noble earl has been aroused thereby, and in an epistle to Lord Shaftesbury he says :—" I beg leave to invite your lord ship either to explain and retract the offensive remarks with which you introduced my name into your speech on the sth instant in the hlouse of Lords, and which have been reported in The Times newspaper of the 6th inst., or to say whether you will give me that alternative that I am entitled to, and which I trust tbat you will not re fuse." Lord Shaftesbury, in reply, said :—" In my speech in the House of Lords I simply quoted a judgment of Lord Eldon's—a law case, published in a law-book. This I had a right to do, whether in parliament or out of it ; and every one has the same right. Your lordship is good enough to send me what is technically called a chal lenge.' I refer you for a reply to this and in any further communication either to the police magistrate nßow street or to my solicitors." In answer Lord Mornington says :—" Your referring me either to a police magistrate of Bow-street or your solicitors is but adding to your original insult, and is very absurdly impertinent. Thus, I must consider you as neither having the good feeling to explain the unfounded imputation, made in the House of Lords, you have passed upon me, or the spirit to meet what you have yourself provoked in the manner which regulates the conduct of gentlemen." THE RECENT ELECTIONS.—SeveraI alterations in the composition of the House of Commons have taken place recently. Captain Vernon has been returned for Chat ham by a majority of 13 over Admiral Stirling. The vacancy was caused by the ejection of Sir F. Smith by the committee, on the ground of bribery and treating. Mr. O'Brien and Sir J. F. Fitzgerald were unseated for the county of Clare by the committee, but have since been returned again. Mr. J. T. Aspinall has been re. turned for Clitheroe, in the room of Mr. Wilson, un seated for bribery and treating. A seat for West Corn wall is vacant in consequence of the death of Mr. E. W. W. Pendarves. Mr. Mowbrav is now member for the city of Durham, instead of Lord Adolphus Vane, whom the committee unseated on the ground of bribery and treating. The seat for North Derbyshire has been va cated by the acceptance of the Chiltern Hundreds by Mr. Evans. The Earl of Dalkeith has been elected for Edinburgh County, in the room of Sir John Hope, Bart., deceased. Mr. Bagshaw is now member for Harwich, in the room of Mr. Peacock, unseated for bribery and treating. The Hon. H. T. Liddell and Mr. Horsfall now sit for Liverpool, in the room of Mr. F. Mackenzie and Mr. Turner, ejected for bribery and treating. Mr. Whalley was unseated for Peterborough on similar grounds, but he has been returned again. Mr. Horsman has been elected without opposition for Stroud, in the room of Lord Moreton (now Earl of Dude). Mr. J. Sadlier has been returned for Sligo city, in opposition to Mr. Somers. Mr. Townley was removed from the seat for bribery and treating. Mr. Daniel O'Connell is now member for Tralee, in the room of Mr. Maurice O'Con nell, deceased. THE QUEEN AND THE ITALIAN BOY.—Another in stance of Her Majesty's benevolence and kindness of heart evinced itself on Tuesday last, at the Windsor sta tion of the South-western Railway. The Queen's maternal anxiety for her children at Windsor Castle induced her to travel from London, in private, to see them on the day in question ; consequently the customary guard of honour, and the usual state formalities, were dispensed with upon this occasion, and Her Majesty's arrival at Windsor was witnessed only by a few persons who happened to be strolling about the precincts of the station. The Queen proceeded to the Castle through the grounds on the north side of the park, the entrance to which opens immediately upon the South-western station. On Her Majesty'sret urn, about two hours afterwards, some people had congregated to witness her departure, and among them stood a poor Italian boy, with his rude frame of images upon his head. The fine expressive countenance of the lad was observed by the naturally quick and scrutinising eye of the Queen, and she herself beckoned the youth to follow her, which he did to the vestibule attached to the elegant suite of apart ments provided for Her Majesty at the station. The boy, conscious that it was the Queen who hod summoned him, hurried to the porch, in a state of bewilderment, with his images upon his head, when one of the officers present, seein g his confused state, assisted in bringing him and his board of images t o the smile feet. o s f the o p e , S u o i a v r e r t e o i g t n h . e Q With .leen t , benign ant ite gazed t . for and gracious a moment upon the youth, an d th en se l ec t e d f r om his little stock the infant Daniel, praying, a Venus, and a lady at her bath. After liberally rewarding the little fortunate vendor of the fine arts, the Queen had her purchases placed in the train, in which Her Majesty in a few minutes afterwards took her departure. This act of Her Majesty is another of the many proofs of her great condescension and goodness of heart.—Morning Herald. ROMANIST RIOTS.—For some time past a religious feud has existed among the Italian and Irish attendants at a Romish mass-house, in Gray's. inn-lane, London, which at intervals has broken out in most alarming riots, creating the greatest terror among the peaceable inhabitants. To such a height has the feeling risen, that one of the priests, who expressed himself disapprovingly of the conduct of the Tteiicmo, itt,aatly auverOiy wounded in a court leading out of Gray's-inn-lane, the assassin escaping, and the priest's life for a considerable time being in extreme danger. On Monday last week a considerable number of the Italians, who have a mass-house in Baldwin's gardens, assembled, and taunted and jeered the Irish people who attackingr riot en ensued, d t rm w e h d o, wi w tl i i ti p i ok la e r r g s e an c c i l a b sp lud s g t e il o e n ti s o , went . to attend worship. The result was that a terri fi c the Italia ns, the Irish, a , knives, stabbed indiscriminately all who came near them. Several persons were carried away bleeding and danger ously wounded, and with broken limbs. Father Gilligan and other priests who essayed to quell the tumult were severely handled, and came out of the fray with their faces covered with blood, Fattier Gilligan, it is reported, being stabbed. In the meantime sections of constables arrived from the police-station. The force proved in sufficient, and the Italians making an attempt to fire the school-house, at ten o'clock a force of several hundred constables were brought together, when the men drew their staves and charged the mob of rioters. A great many were apprehended, but it was not till midnight that tranquillity was restored, extra constables remaining on duty to prevent a renewal of the fight during the night. Throughout the entire of Tuesday and Wednesday a strong detachment of police were on continuous duty in Baldwin's-gardens. After dark the number of men was doubled, and persons were not allowed to congregate near the spot, all groups that gathered being immediately dispersed. The surveillance is to be continued until the present thirst for revenge, known to exist, has somewhat subsided. The friends of the Italians engaged in the con flct deny that they used their knives, but declare that the injuries the Irish sustained were inflicted with their bludgeons and fi sts. Several of the Irish who joined th e fray from Saffron-hill have incised wounds on the arms and breasts. The police are also aware that the Italians cut across their knives with them. One of the pr i es ts is across the nose. The reason that none of the Italians have been arrested is, that the injured parties are unable to identify their assailants; they are also afraid of the personal consequences for the share they took in the riot. Another serious disturbance occurred on Sunday ni g ht, between a number of the lower order of Irish and a Party of Italian refugees. On this occasion, as on the previous Monday, the Irish were the aggressors, and, owin g t o the a d m i ra ble precautions taken by Superintendent Martin, of the G division, several fellows have b een apprehended and lodged in the station-house on the double charge of assaulting upoffending police Italians, and re s i s ti ng the in the execution of their duty. Of the premeditat e d ella racter of the riot there cannot be the s ma ll est doubt, in asmuch as from information previously com municate d to the authorities, nearly 400 const a bl es have been kept in reserTe t reedy to act at any moment they mig ht be called upon. CHISHOLM has left London for R )me, to take leave of her son, previous to her return to Australia CH/CORY.—In London, the police-courts h called upon to deal with three respectable tradesmen fo chicory with their coffee, and selling it as pure and, of course, at coffee price. These creditable individuals were fined in mitigated penalties of £25 each. PAPER HOUSES.—A number of cottage houses have been constructed of papier melte: The frames, floors, and doors are of wood, but all the rest of papier mache. The cottages contain from four to ten rooms each, and can be taken down and re-erected in a few hours. mixing e been SERGEANT WRANGRAM, Mr. Alexander, Sergeant Kinglake, and Mr. E. James, Q.C., have given it as their opinion that Mr. G. H. Whalley, M.P. for Peterborough, was not qualified to b ecome a candidate for re-election, having been unseated in consequence of the treating practised on the previous contest. ENTERPRISE that twelve u 8 months C"D a E.T Greenock Herald mentionstheh yard of Messrs. Simons was under ' a crop o f grain • and, since the commencement of building operations, three vessels, including the " ..A.iirora," have been launched, while three large vessels are at present in rapid progress. A HEART TOO FULL.—A man named Andrew Francis, whose brother was among a batch of emigrants leaving Galway last week, being refused admittance at the railway terminus at Eyre.square, ran round iby another drzction to meet the train, with a view to seeing his brother once more, but, on observing the train pass before his arrival, he dropped down and expired. DIVINE SERVICE IN THE ARMY. A return has been published, showing the expenditure of the sum of £18,500 taken in the army estimates for allowances to officiating clergymen for performing Divine service to the military at home and abroad, and for religious books. To Churchmen the sum paid was £14,536; to Presby terians, £865; and to Romanists, £2,702. For religious books £526 4s. 10d. was spent—£2o2 Os. 61. for books for Romanist soldiers, and £324 Os. 4d. for Protestants. HARVEST PaospFcrs.—With the exception of a hasty thunder shower on Saturday, this has been a week nearly void of rain, though generally cloudy. Tuesday and Wednesday were decidedly fine, which was a cause of re joicing with haymakers, and much was stacked during that time in good order. The mild temperature has been exceedingly favourable to all growing crops, both of grass, roots, and corn, and will greatly assist in perfecting the wheat grain at the critical period of flowering.—Leicester Journal. " AN APPROVING CONSCIENCE ITS OWN REWARD." —Not far from Ripon, in the parish of North Stainley, there is a Methodist local preacher, nearly seventy years of age; he has preached for the Wesleyans during forty years ; walked five miles every Sunday to the morning service, returning in the evening—making, in all, upwards of 20,000 miles—alabourwhich he still continues to pursue, and for which he has never obtained more than one shil ling, which a man put into his hand one day when lie was coming down from the pulpit ! This makes his pecuniary reward, for edifying a Wesleyan congregation, a fraction more than one farthing per annum. He is employed the rest of the week in breaking stones on a carriage -road, and he has never made more than ten shillings a week. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN DERBY. —On Wednesday, about a quarter pact six o'clock, flames were seen to issue from the roof of the extensive silk manufactory of Mr. Joseph Davenport, in Albert-street, Derby. An alarm being given, the inmates left the mill, but several daring men having ventured to ascend for the purpose of saving part of the silk, the roof fell in upon them. One of them in flames threw himself from the window, a height of 70 feet, and was so much injured that no hope is entertained of his recovery. Mr. Thorpe and two other men were also rescued alive, but dreadfully burnt. The building being fire-proof, the flumes were ultimately subdued. FATAL FIRE.—On Monday noon, a destructive fire took place upon s'me farming property belonging to Lord Headley, in the vicinity of Warley, near Brentwood, which ended in the loss of two if not more lives, and a very serious distraction of property. A few evenings back a party of Irish tramps, haymakers, slept in a barn attached to an off-hand farm, the house being occupied by a Mr. Bottershall. The tramps had left some matches behind them in a cattle pen, and four of Mr Botteshall's children, on going into the barn to play, found the matches with which they soon struck a light, and as quickly fired the place. The straw which was lying about in all directions, generally ignited. and but for the prompt action of a labourer named Willey, the childrap would doubtless have all perished. He rushed into the blazing barn end succeeded in dragging all four of them out. Two, however, a little boy and a girl, were so shockingly burnt that they survived but a short time, the other two being hurt. Willey in his noble exertions sustained con siderable injury. The flames were eventually subdued, the dwelling house being preserved. PRIESTLY INTERFERENCE.—The Sunder?cnd News publishes a letter from H. J. Staley, a Romish priest, to a young woman, who was about to marry a young man belonging to the Primitive Methodist body, in which he says, " I take the liberty of addressing you in this way on the important step you are about to tnke,—a step for which you must expect to suffer, either in this world or the next, or both. Either protracted bodily affliction, or poverty, or persecution, or some other temporal calamity, or a premature grave, or an eternal hell, will inevitably follow the breach of that Divine command, ' Be not un equally yoked together with unbelievers.' You know that you are doing wrong ; you were evidently not pleased at my calling upon you yesterday. ' Your deed is evil,' and you wish to &void the light, and all who would tell you the truth ; but you cannot get rid of your conscience, nor of God, nor the judgment day. If you take the pro posed step it will be ml painful, solemn, but imperative duty to expel you from the society. If you say that this rule has not been enforced in other cases, I answer, ' By the grace of, God, I shall enforce it while lam here.' I suppose it is quite useless to ask you to break the con nexion,—that would be too greata price for eternal glory. Do not, my sister, think that I hate you because I sey and act in this manner. No, I love you ; and shall follow you with my tears, anxieties, and prayers. Request all your friends to procure mourning, and to put it on the day you are married. Please to show this letter to the young man to whom you intend to give your hand. Give my love to your sister, and accept it yourself.—l remain, your much grieved, faithful, and affectionate pastor and leader." ABDUCTION IN YORKSHIRE.—At York assizes, on Wednesday, William Johnson and Mary Cartwright were indicted for the abduction of Judith Kay (under the age of 16 years) from the possession of her father. The pri soner Johnson, a good-looking young man, had formerly been a " navvie" on the Thirsk and Melton line of rail way, and the female prisoner was the wife of another " navvir." Both prisoners lodged in the village of Thor manby, in the North Riding of Yorkshire—Johnson at the house of a Mr. Kay, a grocer and provision dealer. The prosecutor, Kay, had a daughter at home not more than 14 years of age, though in appearance a grown-np and very good-looking young woman, apparently 17 or 18 years of age. Between this girl and Johnson an intimacy sprang up, which was noticed and reprobated by her parents, on acceunt of her youth. Johnson offered to marry her, and two or three times proposed to her to leave her tether's house. This the girl refused to do for some time, till the female prisoner called upon her, and endea voured to persuade her to go off with Johnson, telling her that if she was in her place she would do it. Partly in consequence of this persuasion, backed by her own incli nations, the girl agreed on Saturday, the 16th of April. with the female prisoner, who represented to her that Johnson was going away next day, and that she w a s also --- going with her husband, to join them on Sunday evening after church, at a little distance out of the village, and to put her clothes out of the window that night for Johnson to take sway. This the girl did, and went oft' with the p isoner Johnson to Guisborough, where she spent the night with him. The female prisoner and her husband lodged in the same hDuse. Information was given to the police of the girl's absence, and she was traced to Guis borough and taken from the prisoner Johnson's bed. Both prisoners w:re found guilty and were sentenced, the female to two years, and the :panto six months' hardlabour. ALLEGED ABDUCTION BY A ROMISH PRIEST.—It is anticipated that when the Nunneries Bill comes before the House of Commons, on Wednesday, a c i rcums t ance that has caused much excitement in this town, will be brought under the notice of the Legislature, the whole of the facts having been laid before Lord Palmerston, Mr. Chambers, the author of the Nunneries Bill, and other supporters of it ; while Mr. Bowyer, Mr. Lucas, and other Romanist tjhu function, lattert instead.io members have been acquainted with the particulars. It appears that two young ladies, about fourteen and sixteen Thiss e sea-side, members os theyei m d e e eb , d ee a rds n d oonf L i it, accepted,vt s- years of age, the daughters of a respectable family re siding in this town, end formerly of Burnley, have been hitherto educated in the religion of their father, as Ito manists, and it was his intention to take them to the con vent of the Holy Child Jesus, at St. Leonards- on-Sea, to receive further education, and to act also in the capacity of pupil teachers. Whether they had shown, at any time previously, any wavering in their doctrines, we are not aware; but ontheir coining to reside at Preston, a few weeks since, and about the time when their departure for the nun nery was resolved upon, they renounced the Romish faith to one of the clergy of this town, attended his Sunday-school regularly, and had consented, with the approbation of some of their Protestant friends, that he should make ar rangements for them entering a training.scbocl for teach ers, the one at. London arid the other at Warrington. They were last week at the house of a near relative in the town, a Protestant, when their father and some other friends, finding persuasion unavailing, hit upon a device for ob taining possession of the girls to take them to the nunnery.. then nwh e when Thenotinmeay t oo e uf d nt t gh h e e irrai ladiesnil -- they left p eprlsaoc a ne n and hn a et n i: l a u t t r ' ain for the south.

One of the girls then p jo o u rt rn ;, e , y, ejaculated, " Oh l they are taking us to a convent i" • Such an • exclamation created quite a scene, and many parties were at once at hand to render assistance for a rescue, if assistance were needed. Various reports were speedily in circula tion, but alth oug h the aid of a ma g i s t ra t e was volunteered for necessary interferen ce had there been any opportunity of exercising it, nothing, it was found, could be done where a father was simply taking, as he stated, two girls to school. The wires of the electric telegraph were set in motion, and information of the extraordinary incident was conveyed to Preston and other places ; and, on the arrival of the train at the various stations on its way to London, considerable interest was excited, news of the occurrence having preceded the train. We learn that the young ladies are now in London, at a branch establish ment of the convent, where they are to remain for a few days previous to being taken to St. Leonard's., Their Romanist friends allege that they are now reconciled to the prospect of a conventional residence ; but we learn from other quarters that their dislike has not been over come, and that they avow their intention of remaining Protestants. Several gentlemen , of the town are interest. ing themselves on behalf of the,young ladies , should there be any means of legally placing them in the way of pro feliling the Pretedent religion.—Presion Chrowle. i;( 1 , rob the lie
