marine painter, Stansfield. Another distingnished . soldier artist, Elenterio Pagliano;,has, to use, the phrase of 'a Milan journal, ten quadrestupendo— a triaonifieent picture 7--" The Fight at Tre Ponti " betiVeeri .the Garibaldians and the Austrians, near Seriate, in' the province of Brescia: . The' truth ' fill pencilling, splendid colouringg. correct design, and wonderful animation pf the scene of strife, renders this picture the most perfectly finished and best of the exhibition..: This is the 'first work of this kind that has been painted by this accomplished artist, all his previous works being historical subjects, and of equal merit, particnlarly hie. celebrated Il primo Incontro di Petrarco e"' Laura ("The First Meeting of Petrarch and Laura,") and L' Origine della Compaynia della Misericordia . ("The Origin of the Society of Mercy,") which last year received the gold medal at the Thrift This : . yobrig artist Was Well able to transfer to hiS canvas what he him- Self Witnessed, being the captain 'of one of the companies of the Cacciatori della Alpi, which defeated the Austrians at the desperate fight of the thirteerth of June, 1859; at Seriate, and where so many noble and courageous Lombardian youths sacrificed their lives. Pag • liano, now not more than thiirty-six years, is as distinguished as a soldier for his undaunted courage as he is celebrated as one of the best artists of Italy, having, like Gerolorno Induno, fought by the side of Garibaldi in every engage ment during the bloody campaigns of 180-49-59. Independent of having received the gold medals arid prizes of the Brera' and Turin exhibition for his merit and talent as an artist; he has been de corated with the Sardinian medal of military" valour, for his great bra Very at the defeat of the Austrians at Tre Isonti ; the French medal for the ep,mpaittii of 1859, and the military medal, lately distributed by the government of Emilia to those who distinguished themselves.during the campaign of 1849. The King of Sardinia has commissioned this artist to paint the Battle of Splferino. It is most sincerely to be lamented that this young man, unable to suffocate his desire to be again among his old companions, has, within a few days, despite several important and lucra tive commissions, left for Naples to take the com mand of a company of the revolutionary army. These are the kind of Italians that are a pride and honchir to Italy. De Albertes, Valentini ; and Fassanotti, 'three other herees of Garibaldi, and distinguished landscape : painters, ,the last-named being appointed professor of the &era ; have pro duced this year three of thebest and most picturesqu to landscapes that have been .exhibited here for Many years. Castoldi, Praga, Penutti, and Sala, the last two portrait painters, have all exhibited pictures of praiseworthy merit. Tennutte and Sala are, with the exception of Pagliano, our best portrait 'painters ; but instead of seeing the usual number of twelve or fifteen commt . ions the num ber has dwindled -own ' to Atli-, which is pro -, babe co be ,be. attributed to the late improve ments of the photographic likenesses. One of Sala's ,works is. a full length ,portrait of Count CaVour, in his official dress;,---he is in - Vested with such a peculiar expression of eye and Mali cious diplbinatie stifle playing about the mouth, that if I. did not know the likeness and any person was to ask my opinion of the original, I should say without the 'least, hesitation, that man is either a great Jesuit or a most cunning' diplomatist. ' . The best works 'exhibited by the sculptors are those of Tantardini, a magnificent colossal statue of Moses, which the artistic cfics here pronounce to' be "no servile'imitatim o f the • works of the great Michael Angelo." Loren= Vela's "La Vittima Inquisizione" is a new • subject, and notwithstanding the truthful treat ment of the same bringing to' our mind .all the priestly cruelties of Spain and Italy, the expres sion is perhaps too painfully sad: Puttinati's " L'Ammirazipne" is another of those exquisite poetic figures which mark all the works of this clever artist. Pundiani's ." Infant Moses: tramp ling beneath his foot the Crown of Pharoah" is evidently taken from the late lamented Cor nienti's magnificent picture on the same sub ject exhibited last year. Here, we have another example of the disgraceful manner in which many of the great .Lombardian -painters are neglected and left .to pine- away in the greatest poverty. This justly esteemed painter, after bravely battling for years against the most cruel poverty, often obliged to'sacrifice his best pictures for a fifth of their real value to those who call themselves the 'ltalian aristocracy, and descend to the meanest subterfages rather than go direct to the studio of the artist, and pay the real value of the picture. This esteemed artist, as I have just said, was, upon the change of government, appointed professor of - historic paint ing at the Academy of Bologna, but alas, two months after his appointment, having unfor- , tunately drunk too deeply of the cup of sorrow, he died, regretted by many of his sincere friends. arid:brother artists. Gaspare Gabazze; of Turin, has a splendid full size statue of " David," which is intended as an allusion to Piedmont against Austria. The exquisite chiselling of this subject is of the highest order of art ; the expreisiVe and noble features of David are beautifully and cor,; reetly treated without that savage expression of the eye' and mouth, which but too often charac terise works of the same subject. There are many other statues, statuettes, busts, and sepul chral monuments, many , of the subjects like the sister art, being different episodes of the campaign but which would render this letter too long even to give you the names of the 'sculptors and subjects. Taking this exhibitition altogether I find the same defect as in the past years, that with the exception of the above-mentioned names, there are most striking proofs of not the slightest improvement among the Italian painters ' which,. as I have stated at the beginning of this letter, I attribute to the want of encouragement to the artists. On the contrary, the grandest, most sublime, and poetic of the three sister arts; has been gradually making the most visible progress and improvement, and which has been noticed by the yearly travellers and visitors to the exhibitions and studios of the Lombardian and Piedmontese sculptors. In my next I will show to your readers, as I have already done with music, the great facilities that were offered by they late Government, and of course will be continued by the present for, the cultivation of painting and sculpture. THE RECONCILIATION BETWEEN GARI.: BALDI AND COUNT CAVOUR. THE REFERENCE TO THE POPE IN .THE DEBATE IN THE SARDINIAN CETAAI ,BERS. -PROJECTED DEPARTURE , OF' HIS HOLINESS.' A letter from Turin, dated the 9th October says : " You will, doubtless, •be well pleased to have some retrospective and well-authenticated details On the *subject of the difference between Garibaldi and M. de Cavour and, the 'circumstances which led tntheir reconciliation. " Since the"‘Cession of Nice, M. Ratazzi has yr ithdrawn his support from the Ministry and held hiniselfialoof from Court, notwithstanding the well-knothi friendship with which he was honoured by the King. When Garibaldi demanded the dismissal of M. de Cavour, M. Ratazzi sent ,a message to the. King through one of his officers; entreating his Majesty to remain firm and not compromise the monarchical principle by any act of weakness. M. de Cavour, on being informed of this proceeding by . the King himself, warmly thanked M. Ratazzi, and ever since these two statesmen have been reconciled. I have already observed to you that M Ratazzi took no part in the present debate in the. Chamber, and that he voted with the Ministry. "This attitude of the former Minister of the, Interior in all probability' decided the favourable termination of this dangerous crisis. If Garibald had found that he could rely upon stong parlia i mentary support, it would have been difficult for the ministry to keep its ground. But M. Ratazzi was thoroughly sensible of the important bearing of the act which was exacted of the King, and he sacrificed his personal enmities to the principles of monarchy and conservatism. " The Piedmontese army is, beyond all doubt, in the Neapolitan States. The unification of Italy, with the exception of Rome and Venice, ill be, in five or. six days from this time, fait accompli. "In regard to Rome, every day there are rumours of the departure of. the Pope. To-day it is asserted that a portion of the Pontifical state papers have already been pat on board ship. ' "Apropos of the. Pope, a very curious incident occurred during the debate in the climbers. M. Chiaves said, in the course of his speech, that immediate 'annexation is necessary to guarantee the security, the liberty, the prosperity of Southern Italy, and the greatness of the entire country ; that he did not, however, desire the departure of the Pope, who was one of the glories and sources of strength of Italy,; that he longed to see the Holy Father returning to a better state of mind; and that the day on which the Pontiff and Victor Emmanuel, as King of Italy, made up their differ ences, and agreed to sit side by side in Rome, would be the happiest, day in Italy's history. These words were followed by a perfect explosion of bravos." The health of the Earl of Derby is still so precal as to occasion some anxiety to his friends. He is much better than he was, and is now able to leave his, bed, but he is still confined to his room. The attack from which he suffers has been much more severe than was generally known, and the greatest care will be requisite to insure his entire recovery. His lordship still expe riences acute pain, and is very weak. LINE OF BA.TTLE, SHIP UPON A. NEW PRINCIPLE:-- There is now being exhibited, at the Exchange News room, an elaborate and beautifully-constructed model of a screw line of battle ship, intended to be of leviathan proportions, and capable,. not only of more rapid sailing, but of carrying a heavier armament than the largest of existing men-of-war. These advantages, it is be lieved, will be obtained by a new arrangement of lines and proportions ; and the principles illustrated by the model have been approved by some of the most eminent and practical naval officers. The-immense superiority of vessels of this class, under the improved system of warfare now prevailing, is obviou s, and w e recommend all who are interested .in suoh matters to inspect the model, the construction of which has occupied the atten tion of a gentleman resident in. Liverpool for upwards of two years, AT EST NE WS. (BY, BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.).

A BOGUS PRINCE.—THE HUMOROUS SIDE OF THE ROYAL VISIT: —A GOOD JOKE SPOILED BY A BAD SNEEZE.

Some doubt existed as to the • day Upon Whith,the royal party were to land in Lofiis; and, taking advantagd of this doubt, thi doctor dressed himself up to personate the Duke of Newcastle, crowded a large .boy into a uniform much too small foy him, camp in on the cars, announced that the boy was Baron Renfrew, and posted placards with the " official pro zramme" about the streets. Euery one was '"sold." The people turned out. in crowds; the ladies fought for good positions to " see the Prince ;" a sort of procession was formed, and marched through the'principal streets, and even the news papers were humbugged, and came out with extras announcing the Prince's arrival, following theM by other extras informing the public, as the . public had already dikovered for itself, that the whole thing was a "sell." The royal party did not know what to make of the affair, but finally ended by laughing at it, ' and Wondering whethet the St. Louisanians would recognise, the yea' , Baron when lie came: This Dr: Bohatinan haS figured in , such dis plays before, having, at various times, appeared as Douglas, the Bearded Lady, Kossuth, and the . Woolly Horse. -So wide a range .of characters demands great genius, and the. Doctor has it. He• is always successful in drawing crowds, and. the •15,000 persons who went to see him in his last character of :the " Stern Duke," took: the deceit as a joke, and did not tar and feather him, as some proposed: • As the Doctor uses' snuff inordinately„.it was his sneezing which gave the people an inkling of the'hoax by shooting off his gray wig. ..

THE LOSS P THE PASSENGER Sint , CONWAY.---On Saturday, as on the previous day, an inquiry, instituted hythe Board of Trade, was held in the Sheriff's Court, St. George's-hall, before Mr. T. S. Raffles, the stipen diary magistrate, and Captain Harris, R.N., nautical assessor to the Board of Trade, into the circumstances connected with the loss of the passenger ship Conway, belonging to Messrs. James Baines and Co., of this town. The vessel was chartered by . the East India Board to convey soldiers and their wives to Calcutta, and she sailed from this port on the 24th' of August last, having on board 211 adult passengerS (70 soldiers, and the others soldiers' wives), 137 children between one and twelve years of age, and 16 i n f an t s . On the 7th of September she encountered a ga l e , and became a total wreck on the 9th, when she was scuttled and abandoned, the passengers being taken off and landed at Madeira by the. Summer Cloud, from London to Sydney. The inquiry was instituted with reference to the seaworthiness of the vessel at the time she • sailed, and the captain's-title to , retain his certificate. She had pre viously nearly been aground on the coast of Ireland. The result of the inqu i ry wil l , of course, not be known for some time yet, as the report of the Assessors will have first to be taken into consideration by the board of Trade. SKP I CH OF THE DOCK_ WORKS AT BTRKENHEAD THE APPROACHING OPENING OF THE GREAT FLOAT. j There were Pike oltst in the days of our gnoestors ; and according, to a perennial class Of Ideal philsopliers, Liverpool has grown up to greatness in spite of the perpetration of a series of the grossest blunders. I was a huge blunder on the face of it to - haye made our docks stretch lineally to the sea frontage, instead of taking advantage of the existing pool which ran down Whitechapel, to have brought the tall masts into the Very Centre of the t o wn : A greater blunder was COM 1-flitted, on the other side of the rifer, When despising the Whieh nature Cotheyeel i *e at great n eetigr builtup the Wallasey enihankment, and rejected the aid which the fireseilie and action of the sea would hake aff or d e d' i n th e construction of : dock's. iron the Cheshire shore. However, time repairs all mischief ; and when the necessity for further • dock extension became urgent; so early as, 1828, the idea of converting Wallasey Pool to purposes connected with the commerce of the Mersey impressed-itself with force upon the minds of a few wealthy Speculators. The subsequent history of the scheme is lucidly told in the report of the Corporation surveyor, which was read at the last meeting Of the Connell. With that at present we have nothing to do brit as journalists cannot forget the fact that we are just on the 6 , ie.df ts'o ,important ideal eferits=the one important in a literarY; the other of import ance in a commercial sense. Week., the Free Library in Liverpool is to be opened,' With all the pomp and circumstance which ought to characterise the occa sion : in about a fortnight afterwards the largest dock in the world will be opened—the water will be quietly admitted to the Great Float at Birkenhead. We are aware of the qualifying conditions which ought to accompany this announcement, that the opening will be merely partial so far as the depth of water is concerned ; but so few of our readers are aware of the real extent of the majestic works which have for so long' a time been in progress on the other side of the river, that we feel induced to attempt a familiar description of them— a task of some difficulty, we may be permitted to say, in the absende of illitstratiVe maps drawings , The docks at Birkenhead, hitherta, id pdint of, extent and unimportance, would almost justify the ridicule with which they used to be assailed when put forth as the embryo of a successful rivalry with the facilities afforded by the more gigantic undertakings on this side of the river. The Egerton 'Dock has an area of only 31 acres; the Morpeth Dock is less than that even; and these may well look insignificant when Contrasted with the 360 acres of water space on the Liverpool side of the river; but now that the Great Float is finished—now. that rivalry is dead by the establi s h men t o f identity of interest--all parties, we are sure, rejoice in this large accession to the business facilities of the port. Before speakingof the Great Float itself, it may be well to refer to the entet worlis iii progfess, and the passages into the Float WhiCh are in course of construc tion. As every passenger by the ferry steamers may see, the Woodside basin is in course of embankment: It will be more than half filled in, to the length of the existing pier, and an immense landing stage, now in the course of construction, will be placed 'down along the river frontage. The remainder of the basin will be deepened, and a new passage, 85 feet in width, will be Made into the Morpeth Dock, which it is also proposed to enlarge. (seaward) to the extent of 11 acres. This in connection with the Egerton Dock, will form the 'first and principal entrance into the. Great Float. Be yond the space allotted for the proposed enlargement, and still following the coast line; we come upon a plot of land of not less than 100,000 square yards i and all we know about which is, so far as present intention is concerned, that it will be " applicable to railway purposes." At the termination of this, and proceeding down the river, we strike upon 'one of the principal features of the Works now in progress—a low-water • • basin of fourteen acres, and which will form another, the middle,' entrance into the Great Float. The pass age from the low-water basin to the Float will be fifty feet wide ; and there will be other passages, one on each side, but for sluicing purposes merely. About half a mile from Seacombe ferry we find lying parallel. open ing first into an intermediate dock of seven and a half acres, three passages forming the Northern entrances to the Great Float, of 100 feet, 50 feet, an 30 feet in width; respectively. Beyond this, 'and stretching to r3eacombe, we hare the large plot of land known as'the NOrth Reserve. The Great Float itself, which is somewhat sinuous and irieguLar in its form, following to some extent the course of the natural Pool, extends almost from the Dock Warehouses to Wallasey Bridge. It is divided about the centre into two portions, by what is called the Duke street Bridge, and which crosses a passage of 100 feet. The water area of the Western portion of the Float is 52 acres ; that of the eastern, or largest portion, may be called 60 acres. A popular estimate of the size of this large sheet of water may best be formed, perhaps, from the fact that the lineal extent of quay space around it is not less than four miles, and that the quantity of earth removed in the course of the necessary excavations amounted to two million cubic yards. The promoters of the undertaking were fortunate in securing, at a com paratively -early stage, the whole of the land im mediately abutting, on the north side of the Float, along which a quay of a uniform width of 250 feet has been laid down, skirted on its outside margin by a splen .did road 75 feet wide, which, starting at Wallasey Bridge traverses the entire length of that side of the Float, subsequently diverging in a direct line towards Sea combs: On the south side, the land, as yet only parti ally secured by the trust, is of still greater extent, but more misshapen and irregular in form ; but it may be interesting to state that the total area, including land and water space, is upwards of two million square yards. The Pool extended, and still extends, beyond the bridge at Wallasey, which forms the limit of the Great Float. It is terminated by a curious serpentine tail,-into which the water will be still permitted to flow ; but this is beyond the limits of the dock property. _This part of the Pool, with the adjoining land, belong s to Mr. Vy • ner, who may here establish, if he chooses, a little' dock of his own: Some minor works, we believe, have been prosecuted with that object, but the small depth of water obtainable will probahlY deprive this little fragment of the Pool from ever beieg 'of any wi n _ mercial consequence. Formerly; the drainage of the surrounding land ran altogether into the Pool; but it was diverted by a sewer constructed by the old Birken ' head Dock trustees, which skirts the southern side of the 'Float, and - discharges itself at length into the Woodside basin. It is needless here to speak of the mechanical difficul ties which have had to be overcome in the construction of the Great Float. One of the chief of theie con= sisted in the fact that the soil to be excavated consisted in mud principally, so that the foundations in some places were very bad, and a portion of the North -wall rests on piles and concrete. Th e old Birkenhead Com missioners, having made the necessary excavations, built the wall on the south side; but this has al l had to be strengthened or rebuilt. The north wall was put in under the auspicies otthe present Dock Board; like that on the south, it is composed p rinci p all y of the red sand stone of the district ; and its stre n g th may be judged o f from the fact that it iS from 14 to 17 feet in thickness at the base, gradually diminishing, of course, as it ascends. The Corporation, whilst the Birkenhead works were i n their hands, let the excavation of the Great Float to Messrs. George Thompson and Co., and it is now being completed by Messrs. M'Cormick. When the low-water basin of which we have spoken is completed, the depth of water in the Great Float will be nine feet below the Old Dock Sill. This is about the same depth as in the docks on this side of the river, and amply sufficient to ride the largest vessel in safety ;—but till then, and whilst the water is admitted simply through the two existing docks, the depth of water in the Float will be about 4f feet below this datum. • We need make no reference to the manufactures already springing up on the banks of the Old Pool; but confining our attention to the dock works proper, should state, in addition to the details which we have already given, that a large shed is in course of construction on the Vittoria Wharf; a chain and anchor testing estab lishment is also in course of formation in Duke-street ; and preparations are making for the erection of coal hoists, to be worked by hydraulic machinery. A large' sixty-ton crane is about 'to be placed in position, and a very extensive system of railways, with turn-tables, &c., is in course of progress. The gates and sluicing appa ratus of the low-water basin are .to be worked by hydraulic power ; and a tower to contain the necessary engines and accumulators has already been commenced. The weather and other circumstances favourable, it is expected that the operation of admitting the water, into the Great Float will commence• on the Ist of November ; but most probably it may be a few days after that date. It is not intended fo celebrate this large addition to the dock accommodation, of the port by the slightest cere monial. THE MUNICIPAL ELEcrioNs.—As the first of Novem ber approaches, the ratepayers) of each of the wards be come more on the alert to secure candidates for municipal honours. In several of the wards private meetings have already been held, but, from the present aspect of affairs, the great fight will b e i n t h e W es t Derby and the Lime street Wards. Already, in the former ward, Mr. Beck: with, the retiring counc il lor, h as a m ost powerful oppo nent in the field in the person of Mr. Weir Anderson. That gentleman, as a leading member of the Conserva tive party, has a most effective committee, who are straining every nerve to secure his return. In Lime street Ward, we understand that Mr. James Johnsen, the retiring councillor, has consented again to come for ward, but his own party has since brought out Mr. P. G. Heyworth as a candidate, and that gentleman's address has been placed in'the hands of the electors. In this ward, we understand that a gentleman of Liberal Conservative principles will be brought forward in a few days : if so, there will be some sharp fighting. In the other wards no opposition, up to the present time, ha s been wade to the re-election of the retiring councillors. A PEEP AT COR.X4)rTS OF THE , FREE All the local. interest of the day crowds upon the events which are to celebrate the opening of the Free ' Library. (/f ghat does the Jibrary consist ? The books are now in course of transfer .froni the premises in Duke-street to the noble new eilitee crt Shaves-ErroW. Perhaps the reader will accompany us, tie seize the present opportunity to open a page or two of some otike ,moors as they tako their places on the shelves. The .*-irsAory ,otthe library, an d th e c i rcums t anc e s attendant upon 1 1 . 1 s 6!tablisliverit, are already pretty well . known. Large as was tire Mir attendance at the library in Duke-street, the locality was &rally inconvenient to the busy classes of the town that few; comparatively speaking, are aware of what works the library is at present composed, and of the many literary treasures it contains. The sketch which we are about to attempt being, under the circumstances, hurried, is necessarily incomplete and imperfect ; yet we venture to hope . that, 'at the present time at least, it will not be altogether devoid of interest to the general re a d e r. The Library consists ofneatly 32,000 volumes, arranged into sixteen . classes: We eonimerice with clas s A,— TheoltigY; Moiality and Metapliisies,---including the holy scriptures, tr.nstritiens,•, Orrin/eateries,. biblic a l , illustrations sermons, general clifinity,- and' treatises on moral and menial Vhfloophy, , altogether amounting to above 2,000 volumes Of , t ell , selected, valuable, and, in many instances, exceeding)/ rare works. We may mention the Latin Vulgate, pub lished by Koberger at Nuremburg, in Germany, in 1479, about twenty years after the invention of the art of printing. According to ancient custom it has no title page, and the date of the publication is at the end. The paper on which it is printed is nearly as strong as cant ass. The type is well formed. Altogether, the work is id a capitol state of preservation, and with ordinary care will remain so for Many &ninths. The edition is tare ; it would lie difffeult to name its Valli°. The library boasts of a COO? of Macklin's Bible: Probably the general reader has never heard before of this edition of Eoly Writ ; aqd there are very feW; if indeed any, acquainted with the circumstances under Whicli. ft was issued troll): the printing press in 1791. TraditiOn affilrmS that it was published at the express command of George M. 'There is no confirmation, however, of the story extant, . unless it be .tlie loyal appearance of the work itself. It is certainly a superb specimen of typography. The illustrations are magnificent, comprising as they do the combined talent of all the artists who lived during the illustrious reign of the most pious ancestor of our Queen. One hundred copies only are said to have been pub lished; that fact at once 'demonstrates its rarity, and its value as a curiosity. Another copy cannot be obtained on this side of the Metropolis. Locally, indeed we may alniost say nationally, the most interesting work arriorig the thirty-tWo thousand voliimei, is a Bible, which has been called liinacre's. The text is from the Cambridge edition ; and the Work as it stands at present consists of nine volumed' quarto,, tastefully bound. The typography is excellent. We Babe stated that it is called Linacre's. Who was Linacre 3 Many of our readers are, doubtless, familiar with the name, and there are a few who knew the man. Some years ago he carried on business in Liverpool, as a print; - seller and stationer. Possessing the Cambridge edition of the Scriptures, he conceived the happy idea of illus trating its pages with all the extant scriptural prints available or purchaseable. The, thought was the father of the deed. With that energy which always results in success he set about the work, and after twenty years of labltious search, completed it This Bible is a marvel : every noted . passage, eery remarkable event, is ,illumi nated and every ilhistration is unique and appropriate. Livacre died. At the sate of his effects, his Bible was sold to a member of the Society of Friends; at *hat price is not, we believe, known. The quaker gentleman subsequently became entangled in monetary difficultieS. His property was brought to the auctioneer's hammer, and the illustrious bible of Linacre was purchased for .fifty guineas by the committee of the Free Library : It is valued by the Rev. Dr._. Raffles at 150 guineas. Several gentlemen connected with the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge have expressed,admiration at the mariner in which it is illustrated, and great desire to have it removed to the libraries of their respective amid meters. Liverpool, however, cannot afford to part, OR any terms, with so exquisite a treasure: There are others—indeed all the popular—and some editions of the scriptures not known generally. Turning from the bible to biblical literature, we have the most popular and valuable commentaries, ancient and modern. The Life of dhrist, by the Vitinch abbe, Brispot, is a very remarkable work ; and its history is rather pecu liar. Brispot, as his title implies, Was a Roman Catholic, who lived at, the time of Pope Clement the Bighth. The work was written, and Clement sanctioned its pub lication. For some reason or other, it was not given to the world until 1853, when, by special permission and bull of His Holiness Pio None, it was published, illus trated most beatitifully from the designs of the cele brated Jerome Natalis. We have nothing to say respect ing the tenor of the Abbe's sentinients •,t we merely draw attention to this valuable, rare, and remarkable literary effort—we may say curiosity. Jacques Saurin's histo rical and Critical Work on Theology and Morals is a treasury of scriptural knowledge. Saurin was the cele brated French abbe who was converted from the Roman to, the Enangelical Church. The work was published in 1728. The illustrations, which are really excellent for that period, are by Hoet, Houbraken, and Picant. The edition is very rare, and the work i 4 seldom met with in this country. Every larke library possesses probably a copy of the works of Erasmus; therefore, in these the Liverpool .Free Library is not exclusively rich. How ever, they, are there, in the Latin Janguage ; his paraphrase_ of the New Testament in • the English. The latter was published in the black letter, in 1549, and, if our memory has not deceived us, during the life time of Caxton, who introduced the typographic art into England. The works of the great Erasmus are altogether unknown .to the general English reader.., They have never been wholly translated from t h e Latin. ThiS ii a remarkable fact, when we consider that the same wit and humour which characterised Dean Swift and Laurence Sterne breathe through and enliven the graver works of the scholastic Erasmus, the great herald and no mean, though secret, agent of the downfall of the Itornan Church in Germany ,in .the sixteenth century. The edition of his works in the Free Library was pub lished in Bavaria (Lugdumi Batavoruni). It is scarce and valuable. Indeed, we only wonder that it has escapd the purifying fire of the Reman legates and authorities. Of course it figures in the Index Expurgatorins: Our English publishers would, we premise, realise immense profit by reproducing them 'in an English dress. The reprints of the Book of Common Prayer are novelties. They were published by Pickering, in 1844. They are extiet fire-similes of the editions of the books of common prayer priated from 1549 to 1844. Gill's Commentaries have been, and are still, much prized. We find them at the Free Library in nine volumes. A volume of sermons and meditations, by the illustrious Bishop Hall, published in 1660, is in a good state of preservation. Its great rarity has made it an acquisition of much value to the library. It is at present a popular work with all Christian Divines who know its worth. We shall resume the subject to-morrow. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.—SATURDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) A MORSEI, FOR A MADMAN I A tall, wild-looking fellow , named Thomas Williams, *as charged under the following strange circumstances. John Robinson, a master cooper, said the prisoner was on Friday a w"1"1111 i ' il l h t is a e n n d lp tl in h eh im t; n h o e t t P o ai c d om h e hn to h h is is w w ag or e k s 'on Saturday in" the morning: The man did" come a o mad S e n morning, and at once rushed at hini ahungry wolf, to deVour him; he caught his left ear in his mouth and nearly bit it off, and he bit him in two or three places in the head.—Mr. Raffles, seeing a plaster on the complainant's nose, asked him what happened that organ ?—He replied : The prisoner nearly' hit it off. sir.—Mr. Raffles : What did he do this for? Was he drunk ?—No, sir; he was quite sober, and I do not know what he did it for. We had no quarrel,at the time ) nor previously. He appeared like a mad dog . or a wolf.—Surgeon Warburton said the complainant was bitten, rather badly, on the ear and nose; the former was bitten nearly through, and the skin bitten off the nose.—Mr. Raffles : There is no mistake about, it being a bite ? None whatever, the marks are there. Mr. Raffles (to prisoner): Well, what have you to say to this charge ?—Prisoner .1 was only defending ,my self; he cut me on the head.—The complainant denied that he had touched the prisoner at all ; the moment he saw him he flow at him like a mad dog or a hungry wolf.—Mr. Raffles sent the prisoner for trial at the sessions. • CHARGE OF HAVING OR MAKING BASE COIN. Detective -officers Redman and Marsden brought up three persons named Elizabeth Carter, Pat r i c k Carter, and Anne Grant, who live, in Pennington-street, ll ot h am -street, and keep a house of ill -repute, charged as makers or passers of base coin. Mr. Bluck was for the prisoners. It appeared that from information re ceived by the officers they went to the house, where they got the female prisoners, and on one of them a nurse, containing a bad florin, was found ; the other dropped a base half-crown, and the officers got foUr other base half-crowns. They arrested the man when he Caine in. Mr. Bluck endeavoured to show that the base coin had been brought into the house by n man who slept there. He contended that the charge could not .be maintained, as there there was no evidence of any intention to utter the coin. Mr. Raffles said the c h ar ge was for having base money in their possession. Mr. Bluck argued that there were no implements for the fabrication of such coins, and none to sh ow an i nten t ion to utter, as it was not found in th e i r possession, but iu the house, where any one might have put it. The prisoners were remanded, in order to submit the case to the Mint authorities. (Before Messrs. TORR and LAMPORT.) AN AFFILIATION CASE. Martha Watkins, a thin, delicate, lady-like looking girl, of 21 years of age, proceeded, against George Jenkins, On captain of a merchant ship, for the support of her child, of which, she stated, he Was the father. Mr. Godfrey appeared for.the defendant. The case was somewhat cut of the ordinary class of that 'sort ; the short facts vere•these :—lt appeared that the defendant was (and 's) the captain of a ship, that sailed with government emigrants from this port, to Adelaide, about a year and a-half since. The girl, whose father and mother (they are dead) formerly resided in - Bristol, went to London to att aunt after the death of , her parents. She, not having any means except her aunt's assistance, applied to get out as a government emigrant to Ade laide. She went from this port in the ship commanded by the defendant, and on the arrival of the vessel at Adelaide she was induced to rem a i n with him as his wife, and came home in the ship with hi m. i n that capacity. The child was born in June of this ey year, the ship having come home in May. She h a d received about £2O from the defendant.— Mr Godfr endeavoured to show that the plaintiff had a n improper acquaintance with a Captain Peacock at Callao, but she indignantly crenied that. She admitted that Captain Peacock had given her a diamond ring, and promised to marry her; but he took the ring from her again. —The defendant was examined and he at once admitted the facts.—Mr. Torr asked him how large was his ship ? and he replied 800 tons. Mr. Torr : In whose employ hoped for a ate r e s you ake ? — 0 f Mr the . d G e o fe d n f rdeaynobjectedatnod this,fam family d the question would not be pressed.--Mr. Torr said the defendant should have thought of that before.—Mr. Godfrey said perhaps it would satisfy his worship to ascertain the r i . n Torr (to Mr. reply to his I l v v a o g rg e h s ip of s t a h id e hdeefielnaddanstl;2 aandmthonethlaLtemr Wybergh, chief clerk) : How much is the largest weekly sum we can allow in this case ?—Mr. Wybergh : Two and sixpence. sir.—An order for' that amount was made on the defendant. - THE F'ROPOSE.I9.PitiSS UPROARIOUS MEETING AT ST. GMAIGE'S HALL, ON SATURDAY LAST.' The per'se j oi fiorato . tlng the held elcdo:rnijelht. formation of this company k G. i e a o i l i .g..e S4tur ri d a a n y , t e h v e en n in s:e g, in f • o th f e vo iS l ' u i n si te P er r s in which was granted to them by the Ma roe; T. D. A u so h, Esq,, who presided on the occasion. The' object act which the rnarting was convened, was stated .to bee, to suumi the, necessary preliminary resolutions and particulars relativc. C:oat of equipment and subscrip tions for approval." This'iiitetioltereated a considerable amount of public interest, and the iburl was crowded in every part. On the bench were the prin &kV promoters of the movement, and amongst those present serfal Mr. J . P. Maivdsley, Mr. G. M'Corquodale, Mr: Whitty, (baity Post) Mr. T. Gibb, (.Mercury,) Mr. Brakell, Mr. reat, (Daily Times.) Mr. Maitland, (Daily Times,) Mr. Morrison; Mr. Conway, (barrister,) Mr. Alderman Parker, Mr. .t 4 filliam Brown, in hi s uniform as the lieutenant-colonel of the Ist Lan cashire Artillery, and his brother; Mr. Saida Brown, of America. Immediately below the bench viefe a number of gentlemen connected. with the local preas, and the body of the court was filled with parties anxious to• take a part in the movement. On the extreme -righ LISTA D _zompany of the Atli Rifles (the Borough Guard), under the command of Lieutenant Berry.; on the left was a company of the Ist Lancashire Artillery, under the conimand of Captains Robertson and King, and a second company of artillery commanded by Capte. Canipbbli and Currie; while the 15th Lancashire Rifles, under the com*mand of Captain Tucker, appeared in their splendid scarlet uniform, having accompanied the Volunteer Press Corps, as a guard of honour, and occupied a position in the centre of the court. The entire court presented a most imposing aspect. Mr. Harbord, formerly, we believe, of the Wash ington Tomahawk, but at present one of the re porters connected with the Daily Post, was on the bench to the left of the Mayor, attired in a uniform, which consisted of a large and terrific-looking bearskin cap, a scarlet tunic, with dark facings, and black trousers, that lacing the proposed full dress of the " Press Guards " if they formed a corps. If Hot the most handsome uniform:, it certainly was the most conspicuous of any present; and its exhibition caused much laUghter amongst the printers and other branches of the prefer/girt who sere invited to join that corps. The Press Corps, No. 1 , Company, mustered at the store rooms of the 15th Division; No. 34, Tipper Pitt-street. There was a large nunibd present, and many persons were anxious to join the corps ;- but a desire was expressed that they should wait the result of the meet ing before doing so. The lion. sec., Mr. Morrison, briefly addressed the assembled corps, after which Mr. Peat entered the drill-room, and announced that several gentlemen had expressed a wish `to have an amalga mation.; and that instead of forming a Press Guard it was desirable to form an Artillery Corp, as artil lery were more required by the government than rifle men. This suggestion was received with universal disap probation, the general feeling being that as the Press Corps, No. 1, had been established, it should be continued as such without any alteration. Three cheers having been given for the Press Corps, the members of that com pany, with a large anther of friends,. marched from thence to St. George's Hail, headed by detachments of two companies of the 15th I/Vision, who, as they passed through the streets, were most enthusiastically greeted by the public for their soldier-like bearing. The MAYoa, upon taking the chair, was received with the greatest enthusiasm ; as was also Mr. Wm. Brown, who was accommodated with a seat immediately in front of the bench. The Mayor, in opening the business of the meeting, said they, were met together to assist in carrying out the great movement of the day—the forma tion of another volunteer company4to be called the Volun teer Press Guards. The gentlemen of the fourth estate had done him the honour of asking him to preside; and although he had, during his year of office, refrained from taking any prominent part in the volunteer movement, he felt it his duty to make an exception to that rule on the present occasion. All gentlemen were fully aware of the important rank the press held in this country ; and he had therefore felt it his duty to comply with their request, and had called that meeting for the purpose of forming a Press Company of Volunteefk (A voice—" We will have no ' Press Guard). A voltinteca company that he was sure would be an honour to the town. To the gentlemen of the press they were all much indebted, arid he felt it his duty to give them all encouragement he could in carrying out their intentions. They all knew the power of the press, but during his official year of office their pens had never been wielded to cast an unkind expression against him. The Mayor then enlarged upon the valuable services the volunteer movement lied rendered to the country, and concluded by calling upon the promoters of the move ment to propose the resolutions which had been pre pared to be submitted to the meeting, and resumed his seat amidst the greatest applause. Mr. G. P. MAWDESLEY then came forward to move the first resolution :—" That it is highly desirable that 'a Press Volunteer Guard be established in Liverpool, and that all persons directly or indirectly connected with the printing, lithographic, engraving, publishing, and book trades, and contributors to newspaper, periodical, and general literature, shall be eligible for admission into the Guard." After a few introductory observations, in the course of which he expressed the great pleasure he felt in seeing the printers of the town sif nobly coming forward to form a volunteer company, he concluded by moving the adoption of the resolution. Mr. GIBES, of the Mercury, had great pleasure in seconding the adoption of the resolution. He said he had from the first given the volunteer movement his warmest support, and he believed all were called upon to do the same in a commercial, financial, and physical point of view. —[In the course of this gentleman's address, he was repeatedly interrupted by a large num ber of persons in the body of the court, calling out, " We won't have a Press Guard," " We have got a Press Com pany, and that's enough," with similar observations.j -- Mr. Gibb resumed his seat after seconding the resolution. Mr. MILLER, compositor, came forward and said that he wished to ask a question. (Great cheering.) He wanted to know what necessity there was for the estab lishment of a second volunteer company, when the first was not completed. (Cheers, and cries of "we won't have a Press Guard.") The printers did not want a Press Guard or a Press Artillery Company. (Applause.) The printers of Liverpool had their own Press Company. About three weeks ago there was a meeting held, and the printers of Liverpool formed themselves into a Press Company. (Cheers.) He would move an amendment to the resolution. (Applause.) He would move " that it is not necessary to form another Press Company until the first was completed." (Great cheering, and shouts of "The printers will not have a Press Guard.") The MAYOR—WiII any person second the amend ment ? Mr. MAITLAND (Daily Times) said he had great pleasure in seconding the amendment. Although a humble member of the profession, he was proud of the position he had taken in the establishment of the Press Corps. (Cheers.) What occasion was there for a second Press Corps ? The printers had formed a corps of their own, end they were the bone and sinew of the profession. They had a Press Corps already. (Cheers.) The agitation for this new volunteer guard company, came from what he would call the enemies of the prin ters. (Applause and loud cries of " No, no.") Why did this new committee want to absorb the Press Com pany that was already and so successfully established ? (Cheers.) He supported the amendment on the grouhd that one corps had already been established, and that it was not expedient to form another until that corps ~ was complete. .(Cheers.) Sonic gentlemen had stated that there were insuperable objections to join that corps.' He would ask the younger Mr. Whitty—and he had a right to ask him, as his name was officially attached to the advertisements—he would ask Mr. Alfred Whitty, what reason he could give for dividing the printing trade of Liverpool. (Cries of " N o , no ," an d grea t a ppl aus e.) Why did he wish to divide the trade, by forming another corps: (Groans and cheers.) There had been an attempt made to put the Printers' Corps down. He did not believe the printers would stand it. He believed that they had determination and resolution and strength enough amongst themselves to resist such an attempt, and would not put up with the contemptible attempt that was being made by a few to absorb them. (Cheers.) He did not agree with absorption. He hoped they would all hold up their hands tp protest against such an attempt. Let them know the reason of this opposition —this attempt at, not amalgamation, but absorption. He had much pleasure in seconding the resolution—that it was inexpedient to form another Press corps, to divide the trade, and attempt to force the printers of Liverpool tqp i join a company of Guards, when there was a Press Corps already formed. (Great cheering.) Mr. MILLER wished to ask the Mayor to explain why there should be a second Press Corps, when he and 'others had joined and had taken the oath of allegiance? The MAYOR replied that if the amendment was carried there would not he a Guard Company established. A VOICE—" We won't have a Guard Corps ;' look at the bear-skin cap." (Shouts of laughter). Mr. M'CORCIATODALE then came forward amidst con siderable confusion, caused by various expressions against the Press Guard, and laughter at the bear-skin cap. He said he attended that meeting with the intention of lending his assistance in carrying out the formation of a Volunteer Press Guard Corps; and he assured the meet ing that he felt great regret: as' he was sure they all would, that at this early stage of the proceedings there was a want of unanimity, and that an amendment to the resolution had been moved. He would venture to tell them that he knew nothing whatever about it. Ile was called upon on the Saturday after noon, and asked to take a part in the formation of a Press Guard Corps, and his answer was that he certainly would, at that time .not knowing there was another company. He had also allowed his name to be placed on the committee, because he, as a printer, was anxious to promote the interests of the trade — (cheers and interruption)—and as a member of. the trade, he would venture to offer a sugg,estion, which was, that they should come to some decision, by which unanimity of action might be restored. (Cheers, and cries of "We won't ' have a. Press Guard.") He regretted that there had been an amendment proposed. (A Voice : " You are for the Press Guard, but we won't have it.") Mr. 111`Corquodale proceeded, amidst much interruption, to urge upon the meeting to adopt some steps by which unanimity of feeling might be attained. Mr. WilirrY, of the Daily Pont, next came forward to address the meeting, and, amidst considerable confu sion, combined with cheers, hisses and groams, said that Mr. Peat had called upon him, and told him that a Press Corps had already been formed, but he found that, as a body, it was not recognised. Upon that, he con sulted with the printers in his establishment --he also consulted with the Mercury. (Groans and hisses.) H e did not consult with Mr. Peat. (A voice, "You. tried to put him down. Thre e cheers for Peat.") He in tended no disrespect to Mr. Peat. (Laughter.) He had a . great respect fo r Mr. Peat, who had been ten or t m w r e . lvpeeatthat the m io f i years in his ?r • ityWohf h i t t ty e 's) ploy. He told trade would no t go with him (laught er ) , and that a second cor p s wou ld be formed. There had been about' sevent y men joined Mr. Peat's comp an y ,* but there were at least, 400 printers , ( i in Liverpool, and it wasnot likely that the 330'would be dictated to by the 70. It was the wish of the majority that a second corps should be formed. It was agreed that an a malgamation should take place, and a para graph was written to thateffect, and Mr. Peat called for it and took it away with him, but it did not appear in his paper ; but in that morning's paper he had seen a leader, most ably written, but one that was calculated to • It is incorrect to speak of the Liverpool Volunteer Press Company (No. 1) as " Mr. Peat's Company." Mr. Peat has already disclaimed all desire to assume any position with respect to the corps but that of a volunteer who is most desirous to promote the movement by all the means at his disposal. eet the egptoyed against the employer. (Laughter' and hissei.) Ivir. Whitty concluded by saying that the printers possessed all fhe taterial for forming a volun ' tder cOrps—as in the office they had the "canon" and 64 "shooting sticks, " and " a char*" to fall back upon—td expresse d a hOpe that' sacceatleferald attend their e. Mr. ffo MOR rts RISON hrietTy addressed the meeting, and advised the assembly not to support the amendment, but to have the word " Guard" added to "Corps!' Amidst the greatest confusion, the Mayor read the resolution, adding the words "or corps,"--etatking it ieutili a thht it is desirable that a Press Volunteer Guard G o oor rpk eatablished, &c.," —and the amendmen t. The latter viaS first pht to the meeting ; but it was per fectly evident that it vtat nbtgenerally understood, for .although almost all Wee shoutihg out "We will have no Press Guard," "No second tompany," "We have our awn Press Corps," but fev; held up their hands ; and fire .

Mr. M'CORQUODALE was then called upon to move the the next retolation, "That a committee be now appointed, to ebtoider the various details and the arrangements necessary for the organisation and the equipm . ent of the Gu ar d int en ti o ned in the preceding resoltaton, and that the following ge ntlemen . constitute the committee :—Messrs.

Mr. M'CORQUODALE—If Mr. Peat's name, and Mr. Morrison's, are not on the committee, it is an omission of mine, and they will be added (cheers), with the words "and. power to add to their number." [At this juncture of the meeting, one of the persons caused a considerable amount of annoyance, by occasionally interrupting the speakers with his remarks, and it was suggested by Mr. Mlielvie that he should be turned out, to which the other replied, "Oh, that's the man that attempted to murder me, seven years ago" (roars of laughter) ; but, after a beief interval and a short struggle, calmness was to some degree restored, and he was permitted to remain.] Mr. Alderman PARKER wished to say one word. They had asked the Chief Magistrate of the town to preside over them, and he did entreat of them to behave themselves as intelligent members of society. He hoped that such steps would be adopted by the com mittee, that they would all act together, and not be divided. (Cheers.) Mr. BEAN, of the Albion, seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. BRAKELL proposed the third resolution, which stood as follows :—" That the uniform now submitted be adopted, subject to such alterations as may be decided on by the committee, and approved by the guard. That the entrance fee be 10s. 6d., and the subscription Is. 6d. a-month for working purposes, both payable in advance. That the committee make arrangements to enable mem bers to pay for their uniforms by weekly instalments " —but it was considerably modified—merely asking for the committee to make the necessary arrangements for forming a corps and selecting a suitable uniform, and to report to a future meeting for approval of the suggestion then made. Mr. PHILLIP seconded the adoption of the resolution, which was carried. Mr. C. MILLWARD proposed the appointment of Mr. J. Maitland (Mercury) and Mr. Alfred Whitty (Post) as the treasurer and secretary to the committee. Mr. WHITTY (Post) seconded the motion, which was also carried unanimously. • Mr. WM. BROWN, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Ist Lancashire Artillery, then briefly addressed the meeting, expressing the pleasure he felt at taking a part in the movement of the formation of a Press Corps.—He was received with great applause. Mr. THOMAS LEE then proposed " That this meeting tender its best thanks to the officers and men who has so kindly formed the guards of honour on that occasion, including Capts. Robertson and King, of the Ist Lan cashire Artillery ; Capt. Tucker, of the 15th Rifles; Lieut. Berry, of the Borough Guard; and Capts. Campbell and Corrie, of the artillery." . Mr. HARMED (in the proposed Press Guard uniform) at the instigation of Mr. Whitty, having doffed the bearskin cap, said: "Being unaccustomed to public speaking," he would briefly second the motion, which was carried amidst much laughter. On the motion of Mr. Whitty, a vote of thanks was passed to the Mayor, for his kindness in presiding on the occasion. The Mayor briefly returned thanks, and the meeting ;erminated. The band of the 4th Company of the 15th Lancashire Volunteer Rifles was in attendance, and played several popular airs in the vestibule of the hall, and marched with their company to the storerooms, after the business had concluded. CORRESPONDENCE. THE NEW FREE LIBRARY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. Sin,—As the best and most appropriate testimonial which the inhabitants of Liverpool can possibly raise to the patriotism and worth of Mr. Wm. Brown, may I suggest that many thousand volumes might be resented to the New Library, even before the day of its being opened. Possibly, your insertion of these few lines may induce many to contribute a work from their own private collections, and thus furnish a lasting source of instruction to the operative classes of their fellow townsmen.—l remain, sir, your obedient servant., Oct. 13, 1860. M. R. I. A. TO THE CONSERVATIVE ELECTORS OF ST. ANNE'S WARD. GENTLEMEN,—"Now or never" must be your cry to the first of November. What ! no Conservative candi date yet in the field, to compete with the so-called Radical, Mr. Joseph Kitchen ? What is it that causes our Conservative leaders in St. Anne's Ward to show such an apathetic spirit ? Do they forget what they accomplished three years ago, uncler so many disadvan tages ? I hear there is a split in the Liberal camp, owing to the " milk and water " views entertained by Mr. Kitchen. Facts speak louder than words. Gen tlemen, we have everything in our favour to induce up to be "up and doing." A STAUNCH CONSERVATIVE. TIIE LIVERPOOL PRESS CORPS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. Sin,—Having attended a public meeting on Saturday evening, which was held in the Nisi Prius Court, St. George's-hall, for the purpose of—what ? " the forma tion of a Volunteer Corps already in existence." I was rather surprised to see the manner in which the pro ceedings were conducted, and the entire absence of that spirit of "fair play" which should have been found in a body of gentlemen constituting the principal portion of the master printers of Liverpool. It is a well-known fact both to the employers and employes that, some few weeks ago, the question was first mooted as to the for mation of a " Liverpool Volunteer Press Corps." A public meeting' was then called for the purpose of forming the above corps, and on which occasion from 60 to 70 of the letterpress printers of this town signed their names as members of it. This appeared to have vexed some of the employers, because they were not consulted at the time, and, as I believe, not made "great men" of. What has been the result ? A second movement took place, emanating from a few prejudiced individuals, for the formation of a second corps, to be called the "Press Guard." On the 6th inst. between forty and fifty of the first formed corps were sworn in (in the absence of Mr. J. E. Jeffery) by Mr. Corbally, a justice of the peace, at the drill-room of the Lyceum Corps, Bold-street. Now I would ask, what motives could induce certain individuals, connected with the press, to attempt to throw to the wall a corps which had been recognised by the profession, and which in cluded in their list of honorary members the names of same of the oldest master printers in town. Is it right or just that such a. petty spirit of rivalry should be carried so far ? Why did not these parties come for ward when publicly invited to do so, and place their propositions before the profession at first, and not hang back until a "Press Corps" had been actually enrolled. This second corps—or " Guard," as they term it—is to be formed of letterpress, copperplate, and lithographic printers, bookbinders, stationers, booksellers, engravers, and persons contributing to newspapers, &c. (they should have included folders, stitcher& envelope makers, bill posters, and flying stationers, as being directly or indirectly connected with the printing profession.) The letterpress printers of this town number from 300 to 400 strong. Why can't they form a corps of their own ? The other trades that are enumerated in the " Press Guard " are more intimately connected with one another than they are with letterpress printers ; and what is to pre- , vent them from establishing a corps also. You cannot call a bookbinder, a lithographer, or a stationer (whether he be "flying" or "stationary"), a member of the press. Then, why should they form part of a "Press Corps ?" The general feeling of the profession is in favour of a corps of "Typos "—" Typos" alone, —for we are numerous enough, and, in fact, able to form a corps which would out-number many of the corps already enrolled in this town. On Saturday evening several of the gentlemen spoke of unanimity ; but I would like to know how can unanimity exist if parties come forth, through a feeling of jealousy, and attempt to overthrow a movement already agreed to by a large number of the trade , and endeavour to thrust upon us this abortive affair—the Press Guard? Whom have we to thank for the uproar and disorder of Satur day evening? Whom but a number of gentlemen who have tried to cause a division in the minds of the trade at large for the gratifiCation of their own selfish views. But I hope the printers of Livelpoul will show that they are not to be so dealt with. Again, was it not too bad to see the affair so one-sided. The gentlemen who had been sworn in as members of the first and, at present, only "Press Corps" in the town, on the 6th instant, and who had met at their drill-room, in Pitt- Atreet, previously to attending the meeting at St. George's hall, although they were deeply interested in the matter, were marched to the back part of the hall, where they had no chance of taking part in the proceedings, or even of hearing what was going on, and therefore the resolutions were all passed unanimously, by parties who had no connection with the trade whatever. Apologising for thus encroaching so much on your space and time, I remain yours, &c., 4i Typo." • ALLEGED SUICIDE.—On Saturday, a man named Stephen Parr died in the Southern Hospital. The report states that death was occasioned by a wound in the man's throat, which was caused by his own hand; but that remains to be ascertained on the i n quest this day.

It was certainly a trial of many years' duration before Dt. Jebb discovered the proper time of year for gather ing this herb. The difficulties were numerous, but his labours are crowned with success by the daily acknowledgments which arrive from patients who are restored to health by these pills ; indeed, so widely spread has their fame become, that physicians of the gr. atest repute now prescribe them.

The unusually mild damp weather fearfully tells on the human frame, deteriorating the blood, and producing morbid results in its reservoir, the lungs. Hence on all sides we are surrounded by bronchitis, pleurisy, asthma, consumption; all of which might be readily cured by Holloway's never-failing remedies, whose active principle purifies the blood, and causes all mor bide matter speedily to be expelled from the body. With such means at hand, near health's own fountain, will they groan and die! No : use and be saved! If the sufferers be listless, let their friends and relatives urge a trial of Holloway's medi cines, which work wonders on every tissue, by substituting pure for impure blood, and giving nervous power.

The Post, in a leader, remarks that Count' Cavour's speech says just as plainly as did. Gari na baldi's famous address to the citiz ens of Palermo— it "!We must have bOth Rome and Venice ;" y , goes,further, it says ""we shall have them."' .As regards the means by which these somewhat difficult results are- to be secured, we are told, merely, that six months hence we shall know a little more of the matter. The Chronicle thinks it scarcely credible that Austria should have tempted fortune by hostile movements on the Mincio, but considers the position of affairs is critical in the extreme, and suggests the summoning of a Congress of the European Powers. The. Times• says it is understo od that the Ettipe . ..of Austria may at any time take a reso lution Which will bring his forces into the field against Sardinia. The speech of 'Count Cavour might,. in the eyes of diplomatists, justify a tle• claration of war • a nd the Times can scarcely dare to hope that - prudent-counsels will prevail with so obstinate and infatuated a prince as Francis Joseph. The fortune of Italy probably depends On the counsels which may prevail with the French Emperor within the next few days. .If no change in the Imperial policy is Sutenaed, the article in yesterday's Constitutionnel is without meaning . ; but this article may be only a con tinuance of decent hypocrisy: : FRANCE AND ROME. The Paris correspondent of the Post telegraphs as follows:--Several journals lay great stress on pretended assurances said to have been given by the French Government to the Pope on the sub ject of the integrity of his States. There is a confusion in this which_ it is necessary .to point out. The French Government has never spoken, or wished to speak, except of the preservation under the authority of the Holy Father of the territory of Rome properly so called. It is with this view that it has reinforced the army of occu pation, and not of all tho States of the Church as people affect to •'believe. SPECIE AIOVEMENTS AT THE BANK OF ENOLAND.
