Efuerpoot 47?4taltbarb4 FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. MONDAY MORNING. • PERSONS at all acquainted with the stateof the Continent, the machinery of Continental money markets—Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Frankfort—feel but little surprise at the unsatisfactory and contradictory information which we receive respecting the affairs of Russia and Turkey. A meeting of our Ministers is , summoned at Downing-street, for to-morrow (Tuesday), and it appears likely, from what I learn, that the public, in a few days more, will have some intelligence of a substantial character, which maybe relied on. All else at present is "leather and prunella." Let us have a familiar, but by no means ill-mannered, gossip about the Court at Windsor—the last great cere mony there—the investiture of three Knights of the Thistle ; and afterwards take a run down to Sydenham, and tell of the myriads of wonders there. Never mind the fortuitous circumstances which brought your corres pondent thither ; for, indeed, " our own correspondent' , ought to be everywhere. The investiture of the Duke of ATHOLL, (Earl STRANGE, the title by which he sits in I the House of Peers,) the Earl of HADDINGTON, and Lord PANMURE, is worth noticing. We shall also have a glance at the Secretary of the Order " most consecrate," and held dear throughout the world, 'specially Scotland. Who, that has read ROBIE Brass, does not remember the beautiful thought of the ploughman—second only to one of WILLIAM SHARSPEA.RE'S priceless gems. The country labourer is at his field-work ;he meets with the I noble thistle flower; he turns aside his implement of husbandry, and spares " The symbol dear." The Order of the Thistle is the second, St. George, or the Garter, being the first. The investiture of a K. T. is far more imposing than that of a Knight of any of the other Orders. There is a religious reality, and probably a sterner reality, about the inchoate Knights, which, to me at least, invested the ceremony with truer dignity. In the attire of the Knights there is that which " passeth show." The green velvet hood well becomes "ye aun ciente Knighte," of which the other Orders do not so much partake. It would be difficult to say whether the gracious —that is not the word—" kind and fa miliar, yet courtlike manner, in which the" Sove reign of the Order invested the Knight, or his loyal devotion on beaded knee, receiving the incom parable honour, was most notable. The only investiture on the present occasion worthy of particular notice was that of the highland Duke of ATHOLL ; certes, that chieftain has stalwart lads about him when he is at home, whose fathers could well sing, " Whall be King but Charley." Loyalty is like human nature, the same all over the world. VICTORIA, the honoured guest of JOCK CAMPBELL, Marquis of BREADALBANE, the Duke of AT/TOLL'S almost next neighbour, up among the grouse and the red deer, listened with the greatest glee to the zinging of the old Jacobite songs, by WILSON, brought all the way from London to sing before the QUEEN, who encored them. Having referred to the Duke of ATHOLL, let us look at the other K's. T. HADDINGTON seems to take too much snuff ; he always bad a habit of that sort. In two places, be it observed, where " multi anti sorrow" go for nothing,—the Admiralty, among the sailors, and Dublin Castle, among the Paddies. What did they care about snuff? It is a curious fact that there never was a sailor nor an Irishman I ever heard of worth a groschen who took snuff; tobacco for Jack, and, for Patrick— "'Whiskey drink dhine!" HADDINGTON looked well for his years; I have known him thirty, and I'll go bail that he was at the beginning of our acquaintance (since ripened into friendship, of course) between forty and fifty. Fox MAULS, 'tother Knight, I , looked as jolly as a sandboy ; and all were much jollier at the luncheon (chiefly game) which followed. The Secretary to the Order of the Thistle, Sir JOHN STEWART RICHARD 80N, Bart., did all the honours, as one of the finest-looking men in Her MAJESTY'S dominions can do. Sir jourr RICHARDSON owes many thanks to the salmon of the river Tay, where I have seen seventy captured at a haul of the , net, each huge fellows ; each a salmo ferox. Sir JOHN'S grandfather, a fine old specimen of the Scotch curly wig school, was tacksman of the fishings from about Dundee to Perth, the finest water in the world for the Prince of Fish. The fortune of the RICHARDSONS was thus made. Many a time and oft on the bonnie inch of the Fair City of Perth— "0 Patria dolci !" have we, with springing step,kicked the football, Sir Jorix ! The progres s of the works at the Crystal Palace at Sydenham is a matter upon which, we may easily persuade ourselves, a universal interest is felt throughout all the strata of society. The millions who remember the glories of 1851, and are capable of appreciating the multitudinous benefits which have flowed from that greatest event in the modern history of the world, will be only too anxious to see them reproduced at Sydenham in 1854, surrounded as they will be with all the charms that nature and art can lend. With myself, the desire of witnessing the vast and beautiful pile of iron and glass approach its perfect state, induced me to pay a visit to the spot, as soon as an im provement in the weather promised—to be in the wake of Royalty perhaps had something to do with it—either pleasure or profit from the journey. Notwithstanding the long continuance of adverse -weather, the industry of the thousands engaged upon it has told with surprising effect ; and now, as week passes after week, the endless beauties of the place become developed, in grand and rapid succes sion. Glancing over the magnificent park, from the lofty galleries of the edifice, the eye, after h av i ng t a ken in with avidity the charming panorama of the Surrey hills, delights to rest upon the gradual unfolding of the design which is due to the artistic skill of Sir JosErs PLIETON. Along the entire extent of the finely-undu lating slope which leads from the lofty level of the building, nearly to the level of the London and Brighton Railway (its Eastern boundary), we may in our fancy conceive ourselves transported to some delightful fairy territory, where, at the bidding of the dark magician, everything that can charm the sense is starting into ex istence. Broad garden paths, sometimes straight and sometimes gracefully curved and recurred, sometimes flanked with elegant balustrades and staircases of the most exquisite rnasonary, and sometimes losing themselves in tall evergree ns , treats among lofty t rees, or conducted through umbrageous re are tastefully laid out in all di rections, leading the spectator wherever the best views of the building, grounds, and surrounding country are to be had. Terraces, green slopes, fountains, pleasure-houses, cascades, and an infinite variety of other park-like attrac tions present themselves in prodigal profusion ; but never for a moment will the taste of the most refined critic lead him to pronounce any one of these a superfluity, or to complain of a redundance. Such is the masterly abi lity with which the work is being conducted. As regards the building itself, the work of construction under Fox, Henderson, and Co., the enterprising contractors, is being Pushed forward with astonishing vigour, and with that success which always characterises their vast operations, and is the best proof we can have of the perfect cha racter of the organization of their very ample appli ances. The roofing is now almost complete. Indeed, with the exception of the lofty arched roof of the great central transept, it may be said to be finished; be cause as each great semicircular rib is fixed in it s pl ace , the glaziers' work is speedily finished. The floor is nearly Perfect, and would have been so long since but for the masonry of the numerous fountains which will play along the centre of the great nave, and which must necessarily be first finished. Looking along the vast floor, a specta tor would not imagine the enormous consumption of labour, time, money, and materials, which had to be in curred before the difficulty occasioned by the declivity of t he ground could be overcome. The erection of masses of solid masonry to receive the columns, and the necessity P, I employing a grea t var i e ty o f castings, was, indeed, for a l o ng time, a diffi cu lt y an d a d e l a y , b u t now the beautiful tloor nearly hides from view, and from thought, all this t 4 ,2 Ne and e x pe n dit ure . F or th e res t I nee d say littl e ir s , • The plan of the b u ildi ng is doubtless well known r ir readers, and w h en I state that by Christmas that for tbeillhave ripened into a maturity nearly sufficient th e‘ l,:j'llrpose of a public opening, I shall have conveyed of t ilt idea I can, in few words, of the general progress oledertaking. character, however, still much to be Lon. fferent ar from that of mere construe- TerinyPainting,for instance, is going on concur theFeetint of the other wor k , an d , notwithstanding the vast t c.l)e executed, will not prove a hindrance to u'rePark b u ts are painted like those iu the Lte, bat th e l m,, ,, g, , a pale blue picked out with ar e of a rich ei Luafts between the' capital and the base e ach Portio n ; the effect of which is to render monotony of and distinct to the eye, which a MOUS Tlantity of h .:::,_ 131 11(1 not accomplish. Of the enor required for the building I cannot pretend to form an estimate. I believe it would frighten sober-minded people out of their senses if they were told it. Great as it is, however, it is supplied from the well known establishment of Mr. W. A. ROSE, of Queenhithe, London, and its brilliancy and uniformity of tint reflects the greatest credit upon it. I may mention that this building has a feature belonging to it which did not characterise its prototype in Hyde-park. I allude to the addition of an eight feet gallery at the highest level under the roof, availing himself of which, the spectator can walk along the building at that giddy elevation, and effectually embrace the grand scene before him from the most favourable point of view, a result which his mind is facilitated in arriving at by the system of colouring, and the excellent manner in which it has been carried out. As a matter of curiosity, I may mention that the build ing will contain no less than 50 miles of 7-inch iron pipe, the circulation of hot water through which will keep the atmosphere of the place at a uniform and genial tempera ture even during the depth of winter. Another curious fact is, that no less than 60 acres of geraniums have been planted for transplanting next year. Other statistics of the place would equally astonish us with the magnitude of their numbers, but at present I need hardly say that it is impossible to get at them. It is enough to know, that when finished, the Sydenham palace will be the next wonder and admiration of the civilized world. I Some time ago I called therattention of that numerous 1 class of tradesmen, the licensed victuallers of Liverpool, to the vigorous endeavours of a party in the House of Commons to throw open the trade, the sure results of which would be to entail ruin on those in the trade, and open a wide field of immorality ; in short, to revive the system which existed prior to the licensing system of GEORGE IL, when we have it stated on very tolerable authority, that men went about the streets with large placards - on their backs, " Drunk for a penny, and clean straw to lie upon." Since I directed attention to the sub ject, being aware of its interest and importance, I have kept my eye upon the proceedings of the free-trade-in-beer worthies; or, to go a step further, free-trade-in-licenses: especially have I given attention to the multitudinous operations of the Parliamentary Committee, in reference to the question. Individuals of almost every description were examined ; magistrates of the metropolis ; magis trates of England, North, South, East, and West ; ma gistrates of police ; clergymen, members of the great brewing establishments in London, and so forth— " Their aims as various as the roads they take." Sir RICHARD Mersz, Chief of Police, stands up for public-houses as they are, but can't say whether the ' revenue would suffer or be improved by the trade being ' thrown open, and he adds significantly that beer-shops a r e more mulcted—fined—than public-houses. Mr. WOOD, the chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue, advocates ' one general licence, allowing parties to sell beer, spirits, and wine, because the party holding a beer licence is tempted to sell wine or spirits on the sly. The worthy chairman is perfectly aware that the system he advocates would certainly bring grist to his mill. Mr. Alderman and Sheriff WIRE, the most experienced witness, perhaps, called before the Committee, brings nearly thirty years' observation to his aid; he condemns in toto the opening of the trade, as every way hurtful to good morals. The Alderman, and, indeed, mostly all the witnesses, speak to the high improvement in the intellectual scale of the i Licensed Victuallers of London during the last twenty years. DANIEL WHITTLE HARVEY, the City Commis sioner of Police, gives some curious details, all tending to show the improvement in public morals ; in 1846, for example, the number of unfortunate women brought to the City Stations, as disorderly, was 110; in 1850, it was 38 ; in 1851, it was 37 ; and, last year, only 27. Mr. C. TURNER, late M.P., and one of your townsmen, gave some very sensible evidence. He thinks that there are more houses now than the public want, but that there would be more houses opened, if the trade were free ; more people would go into the trade, and there would be more disre putable houses. Of course, there would, Mr. TURNER, and herein is one of the safeguards of the trade—as it is. Mr. SroortEn, M.P., is justly eloquent on the assistance to good order derived by the magistrates of Birmingham from the Licensed Victuallers' Association of that town. He is asked if the goodwill of a beer-shop is equally valu able with the goodwill of a public-house ! No—nothing like it—quoth Mr. SPOONER. Some of the witnesses wish all public-houses to be closed on Sundays, adding that they are sure a great majority of the respectable members of the trade are desirous of such a consummation, even on the score of having a remission from business for one day in the week, let alone adding to the sanctity of the Sabbath. Other witnesses speak strongly in favour of closing all houses at midnight as on Saturday. My impression is that the trade will not yet be thrown open—nay that it is further off than it was a year ago—not so much from regard to the fortunes embarked in it by the licensed victuallers throughout the kingdom, as from a fear of the vicious consequences in a national point of view. I have peculiar means of knowing this. The evils arising out of the country beer trade system, too, have opened the eyes of our legislators ; when they reside on their estates, as at this season they do—when they have any—scarce a day passes but some report of iniquity hatched or performed in the beer-house comes before them (I speak of rival beer-houses). Taking the question alto gether as it stands, Parliament, perhaps, never had a more knotty point to settle ; and this owing to the diver sity of facts and opinions laid before the committee. In connection with the subject, I may add that the members of the trade in the metropolis are rather taken " aback" (sic their own phrase) by the sudden rise of six shillings a barrel on pale ale. No one can doubt the high respectabi lity of such men as Allsopp and Bass ; but the members of the trade are really crying out upon the advance ; made, be it remembered, on the plea of dear hops and dear malt. The retailers argue that the brewers had the advantage of i the cheap years, and ought to continue. But a greater evil than the rise in the price of pale ale, though nothing is said about it, is to be found in the enormous price of gin, which is at this moment 75 per cent. beyond the fair re munerative price. This is frightful; and to meet it boldly ' I am informed by influential men in the trade that it has been recommended to the licensed victualler to deal direct for his gin with the rectifier. , All our metropolitan theatres are now in full play ; a smart new piece, translation and adaptation, of course, produced at each. CHARLES MATTraws, whose taste and experience surely might have been guarantees against vulgarity or absurdity, or both, on his stage, tried a rather hazardous experiment on the opening night, in the intro duction of WRIGHT. The piece was dull in the extreme, and WRIGHT sitting in his own proper person, in the pit, hissed vehemently. The infection extended, as was the object of the manager, who rushed on the stage, and, with well-excited indignation, rated WRIGHT soundly. An ex planation followed, and WRIGHT scrambled over the foot lights on to the stage, and took his part in the termina tion of a piece of nonsense, not applicable to the stage of the Lyceum. Immense crowds attend Drury-lane each night to, see the horses ; why then should the lessee or the curators of public taste (?) find fault ? Chacun a son gout is a time honoured-saying. Be it so. It is to be hoped that an illustrious personage will cause enquiry to be made, as regards the truth or falsehood of a rumour, in dramatie circles, to the effect that many of the supernumeraries necessary to give breadth and depth to the vase en scene, of the forthcoming Court Plays, are to be composed of divers non-professional ladies and gentle men, who wish to enjoy a sight of royalty and the distin guished attendants, from the stage. Such ill-judged ar rangements I have witnessed even at coronations, where gentlemen were fain to appear in the tunics of pages, for no other purpose than that of being in the proximity of the SOVEREIGN. So also at city feasts, when there was an extraordinary attraction. Two such sticklers—and properly so—as CHARLES BEAN and SAMUEL PHELPS, surely cannot countenance the irregularity I have mildly pointed out. Those industrious individuals who contribute so much to " the innocent gaiety of nations,"—our light literary brigade of novelists, magazine writers, &c.,—seem to have taken up their home quarters for the winter solstice. There are still two or three out. THACHERA.Y is in Paris, but coming over here immediately ; the first num ber of his "Newcomes" told—seven thousand. I men tioned last week that CHARLES DICKENS was walking on foot through Italy ; I should have added, Sicily : he is accompanied by a smart fellow, a son of WILKIE COL LINS, the artist. ALFRED BUNN'S book has made its appearance. Smart and chit-chatty. He is severe on JENNY LIND ; she "jilted" ALFRED, it may be remem bered, and though he got £2,500, he would have gained six times that amount had she sang at his theatre. He has a " fling" likewise at the horses at Drury-lane, which he might have spared, perhaps ; if SHAIESPERE don't draw—dray horses may. A principle on which the ex-lessee did not hesitate to exemplify. Mn. RICHARD ANSDELL has added to his former widely diffused fame, by gaining the £4O prize at the Birmingham Exhibition of Paintings. . ME WIGAN RIOTS.—An outrage was committed on Wednesday night, but it was fortunately not attended with any serious results. About six o'clock an attempt was made to blow down the engine-shed of a pit belonging to the Moss-hall Coal Company, on Amberswood-common, Ince, about a mile and a half from Wigan. The roof was destroyed, and a portion of the wall, 15 feet long and 9 feet high, was thrown down by the blast. One of the com pany's servants had just left the place when he heard the report of gunpowder, but did not return to ascertain whence the noise proceeded ; and it was not until Thurs day morning that it was discovered the outrage had been committed. No person was seen lurking about the place, and the damage is estimated at from £8 to £lO ; the engine is not injured. On Thursday morning, the men employed at Pemberton colliery, belonging to Messrs. J. Blundell and Son (who resumed work on Wednesday), again turned out, without assigning any particular reason why they refused to comply with the terms they agreed to the day before. The forty men of the 34th Regiment, left under the command of Lieutenant Westhead, were relieved by the same number of rank and file, under the command of Captain Maxwell, from the Public-hall. The usual county constabulary force of the district around Wigan has been strengthened by 70 or 80 additional officers, who all carry cutlasses. Captain Woodford,chief-constable of the county, and Captain Sheppard, assistant chief-constable, have been in the neighbourhood of Wigan all the week. On Friday morning, two parties of turn-out colliers again went through the principal streets of the town, each party drawing a cart and soliciting relief from the shopkeepers, who gave them money and provisions, not daring to refuse. Two other carts were out at Pemberton, and one at Ashton-in-Makerfield. The carts in Wigan were stopped by the police, who threatened to take the men going with them into custody,.unless they at once desisted ; and this had the desired effect. The Mayor also sent a request to the superintendents of the country constabulary to stop the carts in the villages. Nothing further of moment respecting the colliers' strike has transpired during the last day or two. On Friday, Mr. Greener, manager of the colliery of Messrs. Jonathan Blundell and Son, met the men who were employed by that firm, and agreed to certain terms proposed by them as to the size of the baskets of coal which they send to the pit brow, and the amount to be paid per yard in thick and thin seams respectively. We believe the prices are an advance upon what the men received before, but it is said that they are not more than on a par with those given at other pits. The men have since resumed work. The great bulk of colliers are still on strike, though all would, no doubt, go in if they could obtain half the advance they turned out for, namely a penny on the shilling, or 81 per cent. ; and some would probably return to work at the old prices but for the fear of maltreatment. The town and neighbourhood is in a , peaceable state, but the troops all remain quartered here, , nor is it likely they will be withdrawn until the strikes terminate. COMMERCIAL 4. MONETARY NEWS. MONDAY NIGHT. NOTWITHSTANDING the many contradictory re ports from the East, and even accounts of the commencement of actual hostilities, the Funds have shown considerable improvement, and would have gone still higher, but for the operations of the speculators for a fall. The reports of the Turks and Russians having been engaged in deadly strife are not discredited, but it is confidently believed that fighting will be confined to the mere skirmishes of outposts, and that the dispute will be settled by diplomatic negotiation. Consols to-day reached 954, a higher rate than has ruled for some time past, and there is little doubt that prices will continue to advance, unless any un foreseen event should occur to destroy public confidence. The Gazelle returns on Friday showed an increase in the stock of bullion to the extent of £310,478, and money, generally, has been easy for first-class paper, which is becoming scarce. The recent large receipts of gold have assisted to restore confidence, and as the general inactivity in the manufacturing districts has lessened the demand for the circulating medium, the rate of discount has not ruled so high as it did a short time since. The payments of the dissentients to the Chan cellor of the Exchequer's proposed conversion of the South Sea Stocks has already commenced, the Bank of England having given notice that they are authorised to pay the New South Sea Annui ties, 1751 and 1726, which fall due on the sth of January next, less discount at the rate of four per cent. The total amount is £3,134,240, of which the conversion has been accepted for £754,239, leaving £2,380,001 to be paid off. It has been supposed that the payment of this sum will tend still further to reduce the Bank resources, but there is no doubt that a considerable portion will find its way back again. The Corn Market has already bee.un to give way, and must decline still more. One cause of firmness, which we omitted to notice last week, was the wet weather, which operated as an obstacle to autumn sowing. This has, however, been obviated by the fine dry weather which has pre vailed during the last ten days. The high prices have tended to stimulate the cultivation of wheat, and it is believed that a greater breadth has been sown recently than at any previous period in England. _ _ We have had much more animation in our SHARE MARKET during the past week, with a decided advance in prices, and a great aniount of business. The rise has been to the extent of from three to five per cent. all round. The causes which have brought about this improvement are said to be the fine weather, the prospect of large importa tions of corn, the much more easy state of the money market, the great scarcity of stock, and the healthier look of the Eastern embroilment. There has been a very large business to-day at the highest prices of the week, closing as follows : Aberdeens, 104 ; Caledonians, 27+ -1 8 + f Eastern Counties, 13 ; East Lancashire, 161 s ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 651 6 1 111 1 7 61 4118 ; Ditto Thirds, 11 7-16 p 1p : Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport, 16+; London Stock, 104+ 541 ; Ditto Quarters, h ; Ditto Eighths, Id ; Sheffield Stock, 21; Midland Stock, 621 4 I 3 +ll 121 2 1 21 2*; North British , 71 1; Dover Stock, 19 18 15-16 9 9 1-16 9 + 3-16 1 . 3-16 1 ; York, Newcastle, and Berwick, GNE 4 .

This depression is owing to the un settled state of affairs in the East, and the large number of operatives now out on strike. The Money-market has, however, been easy, and stocks being short the prices of yarn have been well maintained, though there is an evident indisposition to operate beyond immediate requirements. The average amount taken by the trade during the week was about 4,000 bales per day, an amount considerably below the average of ordinary con sumption. To-DAY the advices per Canada were received with more favourable accounts of the growing crop, and lower prices on the other side. Notwithstanding this, the market here was much firmer, and though we cannot quote higher prices, those of last week were more readily obtained. The sales were between 6,000 and 7,000 bales, of which about 5,000 were to the trade. ' The follow ing is a comparison of present prices with those of same time last year.

There is nothing to notice in Molasses, and only a small lot of Demerara Rum has been taken at previous prices. We have to report a large business in Tea, nearly the whole of the cargo, cx Flying Childers, (consisting of Canton-made Congous,) having been taken by the trade, at prices ranging from ls. 6d. upwards ; there have also been further sales of fine Congou, from 2s. 2d. to 2s. 3d. per , lb. In common we have no change to notice ; the quotation is ls. with little doing. Of Rice, 600 bags middling Bengal are reported at 14s. 9d., and 2000 bags Arracan at 12s. 9d. per cwt. By auction this morning, 30 tons Campeachy Logwood were sold at £8 55., and 10 tons red Sanders Wood, with all faults, at £7 10s. per ton. TEL—We give the following from the circular of Messrs. T. and H. Littledale and Co., dated sth Nov. " Advices from China report a partial stoppage of ship ments, and make the export, which by previous accounts was about 8,000,000 in excess of last year, to be now only on a par. A strong feeling prevails that, although the total shipments for the season may not be deficient, sub sequent accounts will for a time advise a falling off in the export. This has given a stimulus to the demand, and caused quotations to advance." WooL.---The demand during the past few days has, upon the whole, been a little more active ; but still the business of the week has been entirely on the " hand-to-mouth" principle, buyers acting with extreme caution, and the few sales made have been a shade in favour of the buyer. The Imports of the week are 667 bales, which show a considerable decrease, as the weekly average for the last ten months amounts to 2,346 bales. TIMBER.--We give the following from the cir cagpuna,alonrdstooff6Mlasti e t s y s ye r se s sar .;i , olme, Slater, and Crook : The arrivals into the Mersey this month: of Timber from British North America, are 49 vessels, 33,308 tons, A3El4lB4Bthe ton s cargoesf o for havet he sold corresponding o naarrival At advanced rates, especially St. John Yellow Pine in fact, all colonial Timber is unprecekntedly high, and we think will maintain its price, as the consumptive demand is good, stocks light, and freight high in every port. Of Baltic Timber the arrivals during the month are 6 vessels, 1,717 tons, against 5 vessels, 1,280 tons, for the corresponding period of last year." GRAND SOIREE AT THE TOWN HALL. Tnis evening, the MAYOR, Mr. SAMUEL HOL3IE, graces his retirement from office by a grand soiree, to be given at the Town Hall. About 1,100 guests have been invited, and nothing will be wanting in the arrangements to make the reunion of the most brilliant character. Workmen were busily engaged yes terday with the preliminary preparations, and ' large numbers of rare plants were in the course of arrival from the Botanic Gardens, to be employed, under the cultured taste of Mr. Shepherd, in the beautifying of the grand staircase and other approaches. Mr. Archer has supplied the Mayor with some beautiful photographs of the new crystal palace at Sydenham, and there will also be exhibited in the east and west drawing rooms some very handsome books and engravings, with a collection of objects of archaeological interest. The first hour and a half will be devoted to music. Many of the leading professional vocalists of this town will be present, and perform a selection of the choicest glees, madrigals, and other favourite music. The company will also have the opportunity of hearing that extraordinary juvenile pianist, Arthur Napoleon, and Mr. Thomas, the violinist. The following is the official programme : NINE O'CLOCK. RECEPTION AND PROMENADE. TEA, COFFEE, AND ICES IN THE CENTRAL ROOM. HALF-PAST NINE O'CLOCK. MUSIC-IN THE LARGE BALL ROOM. PART I. MADRIGAL "Down in a flow'ry vale ".. Festa FOUR-PART SONG..

TILE " GUY FAwicEs" anniversary was celebrated on Saturday in Liverpool and the vicinity, with the usual dis play of fireworks. Numerous seizures were made by the police. THE SCREW STEAMER LUSITANIA, Captain Brown, went on her trial trip on Friday, and made four runs between the North-west Light-ship and the Bell-buoy, at an average speed of twelve and a half knots an hour. The Lusitania is to sail for Brazil and the 'liver Plate, via Lisbon and St. Vincent, on the 24th instant. THE FUNERAL of Police-constable Sunderland, who was mortally stabbed on Tuesday, in a court in Cavendish street, Scotland-road, took place on Sunday, at the Necro polis, Lowhill. Upwards of three hundred policemen walked in procession, accompanied by the inspectors, , superintendents, and Captain Greig, the latter on horse back, from the home of the deceased, in Penrhyn-street. SATURDAY EVENING CONCERTS.—At the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street, on Saturday evening, Mr. H. Phillips gave one of his interesting musical entertainments before a delighted audience, every corner of the hall being occu pied. The Mayor (Mr. S. Holme) took the chair, besides whom there were on the platform Captain Greig, Mr. N. Caine, president and treasurer of the institution, &c. Mr. Phillips prefaced his entertainment by a dissertation on music, the delivery of which elicited frequent applause. He next sang a selection of his popular songs, including " Poor Jack," " The Aretbusa," The Bear Hunt," &c. THE PRESTON STRIKE.—The master spinners have issued an address to show that the demands made upon them by their hands were unreasonable and exorbitant. The associated masters intimate that " they cannot hold out the slightest hope of a resumption of work so long as the operatives submit themselves to the guidance of their present leaders, many of whom are strangers in the town, others of them being mere traders in agitation, and all havirr , a personal interest in the continuation of a strike." On Saturday the unemployed held a meeting in the Orchard, under the presidency of their commander-in chief, Mr. George Cowell. The attendance was not so large as upon many former occasions. The Chairman criticised the masters' manifesto, charginc , the authors of it with misrepresentation and f a l se h o od.' A number of the unemployed have been granted out-door relief in re turn for labour on land attached to Preston Workhouse. It should be added that the conduct of the poverty-stricken multitude daily roaming the streets continues to be most exemplary, their whole proceedings being marked by a strict observance of " peace, law, and order." THE WIGAN STRIKE.—The factory strike still con tinues, and there is no likelihood at present of its termina tion. The masters require an unconditional surrender, otherwise they will not re-open their mills ; for they think that so long as the present organization and tactics exist among the operatives they will be liable to great annoyance and inconvenience. Trade is bad ; coals are scarce, and dear ; and the masters seem resolved not to re-open their mills until the hands of all the departments express their desire to return to work at the low prices. The card-room operatives are the only parties avowedly on strike. These carders, whose number is comparatively insignificant, re ceive support from other towns, and show an obstinate spirit ; whilst the great majority of the hands (perhaps twenty to one) receiving no such relief, are in the greatest distress, and would thankfully go to work again as they came out. Hundreds of them are compelled to resort to begging, and shopkeepers, whose business is greatly suffer ing, are asked for alms almost every minute of the day. THE LATE DR. HYAMS.—By Australian letters which reached Liverpool a few days ago, we have the distressing intelligence that Dr. Hyams, our late townsman, his wife, and child, died off the coast of South Australia, within a few hours of each other, leaving four children to mourn over their sad bereavement. Under all the circumstances, this melancholy occurrence is well calculated to excite the sympathy of those who were, however slightly, acquainted with the family. Dr. Hyams was extensively known and much respected in this town, more particularly by those who had been under his care professionally. In fact his patients, both public and private, viewed him in the light of a sympathising friend. As a striking proof of this assertion, he was, on the eve of his departure for Australia, presented by the members of the Bold-street Club with a valuable piece of plate, as a token of their gratitude for his long and faithful services to the society. This testi monial stamps the character of the man, for how very few club doctors throughout the length and breadth of Great Britain have been favoured with services of plate from their patients ! During the time the cholera and typhus fever raged with so much virulence in this town a few years ago, this gentleman's duties, as a parochial sur geon, were so very onerous and irksome, that his health began to suffer; in short, he was never free from bronchitis afterwards. This complaint ultimately harrassed him so much, that he came to the resolution of emigrating to a warmer climate in hopes of prolonging his life. Alas ! his hopes and his prospect s h ave b een frustrated. Dr. Hyams' talents and acquirements as a medical practitioner were of a high order. He had seen much practice in Liverpool, and had profited largely thereby. It is more than probable, if we may judge from the extent of his business here, that his efforts would have been crowned with success in Aus tralia had his life been spared. He was an extra-licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians, London, M.R.C.S., England, and licentiate of the Apothecaries' Company, &c, With respect to the deaths and sickness which occurred on board the Empire during her passage to Sydney, it is la mentable to think that so many lives should have been sacrificed from scurvy in these enlightened times. Good vessels, wholesome food, thorough ventilation, and a suffi cient supply of anti-scorbutics ought to protect every emi grant from the ravages of this complaint. It appears from the accounts which have heen received from Sydney, that this ship, and everything connected with her, were more likely to foster than prevent disease. The science and vigilance of the medical superintendent were rendered, in a great measure, abortive by circumstances over which he had no controul. AT THE BANKRUPTCY COURT, yesterday, Mr. W. Rain - ford, cabinet-maker, passed his last examination. COUNTY COURT, YESTERDAY.„ 7 -The Court met yesterday at ten o'clock, after a recess of a week. None of the cases possessed any public interest. FOUND DROWNED.—On Sunday morning, the body of a man named Bernard Al`Carte, aged 58 years, was taken out of the Trafalgar Dock. Deceased had been missed on the previous night, and it was supposed lie had lost his footing, and fallen into the dock in question ; but no one saw him fall in. THE FATAL. STARRING CASE IN CHARLES-STREET. Yesterday, Thomas Williams, the American seaman con nected with this case, was placed, on remand,: before the magistrate. Crimp, the wounded man, being still unable to attend, Williams was again remanded for another week. COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION. —On Friday, the Rev. S. Beechey commenced a course of four lectures on the moon and the tides, illustrated by numerous dissolving views. The lecture was listened to with much attention, by a numerous auditory. The subject on Friday next will be the theory of eclipses, to be illustrated by a moveable orrery. THE DEPARTURE OF THE PILGRIM FATHERS.—Ibe ex hibition of this fine picture, it will be seen, closes on Friday. it is well worthy of a visit; and we understand that, through the liberality of Messrs. Agnew, its proprietors, it has been inspected by the scholars of all the Sunday-schools in Liverpool. . MEETING OF THE SHOEMAKERS.—Last night, the journey men shoemakers of the south district of the town held a meet ing, at their club-house, N 0.15, St. James's-place. A reporter from this office attended, but was informed that there would be no room for his services, as the object of the meeting was simply "to bring in some refractory member" to the club. SOCIAL TEA MEETING.—Last night, a public social tea meeting was held in the reading-room of the Concert-hall, chiefly composed of parties sympathising in the religious views of Emanuel Von Swedenborg. The room was filled by a well dressed assemblage. Several pieces of music were executed, and interesting addresses were delivered in the course of the evening. THE GUIDING STAR, which sailed from this port on the 27th ult., with about 450 passengers for New York, was obliged to put back, owing to her having encountered a heavy gale, which carried away her fore and maintopmasts, &c.; but on nearing the Calf of Man she again encountered a head wind, and therefore put into Belfast Lough on Friday last. A steam-tug has been despached to bring her to Liverpool; but it is expected that she will not be detained many days. FATAL Acci DENT.—As James Castel, aged 39, was employed in removing the screw propeller of the steam-ship Persia, in the Sandon Graving Dock on the 24th of last month, and while endeavouring to get it out, the propeller suddenly slipped, and, in doing so, jammed the leg of Castel between it and the keel of the vessel. He was taken to the Northern Hospital, where his injuries were attended. to. Mortification, however, set in, and lie died on the morning of Saturday last. SCALDED TO DEATH.—On the 15th of last Moi.th a girl, ten years of age, living with her mother in No. 4 court, Jones street, accidentally upset a pot containing boiling coffee, which was being prepared for breakfast. The boiling liquid scalded the poor child on the breast, back, and arms very severely. She was taken to the Southern Hospital, where, after painful suffering, she expired on the morning of Saturday last. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Sunday morning, a man, named Ri chard Farrel, about 32 years of age, residing in Grenville street, died very suddenly. It appears deceased had returned home perfectly sober from his work on Saturday evening, and along with his wife went early to bed. In the morning he awoke at his usual hour, arose and ate a hearty breakfast; shortly after which he was seized with a severe pain in the region of the heart, and in a few minutes expired. Deceased • had, it seems, been subject to disease of the heart. MESSRS. THOMAS'S APPROACHING CONCERTS.—MeSSrE. E. W. Thomas and B. R. Isaac's Classical Chamber Concerts, in the Saloon of the Philharmonic-hall, commence on Thurs day evening next, when a choice selection of music, by the first masters, will be played. We understand that Mr. Tho mas is busily engaged in making arrangements for his series of cheap winter concerts, at the Philharmonic-hall. His band will be far more numerous than that of last season, and will include some of the first instrumentalists in the kingdom. That charming ballad singer, Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliam, will be his principal vocalist. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT CHESTER.—On Saturday evening, Chester, like other places, was celebrating the Gunpowder Plot Anniversary. About eight o'clock, a little boy threw up a lighted squib, which fell on the premises of Mr. Maddox, candle manufacturer, near the Crane, in the neighbourhood of the Sluice-house. Some time after, the place was dis ' covered to be on fire, and although engines were quickly on the spot, the flames spread with terrific rapidity from the in flammable nature of the stock and materials, and in less than an hour the place was burnt out. The manufactory was not insured, the proprietor intending to do so on Saturday morn ing, but from some cause or other was induced to put it off till this week. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday, between one and two o'clock, as a bricklayer's labourer, named John Moran, re siding in Queen's Court, Naylor-street, was wheeling a bar row along a plank leading to a scaffold in connexion with some warehouses, in the course of being erected at the north side of Stanley Dock, something took the wheel of the barrow, causing Moran and it to be precipitated to the ground, from a height of about 40 feet. By the fall he had severely frac tured his ribs, and also his left thigh. He was immediately conveyed to the Northern Hospital, where he expired in about two hours after his admission. ELEGANT PIECE OF FURNITURE. — We have been much gratified by the inspection of a superb side-board, at the warehouse of Messrs. Holden and Co., Church -street. The dimensions of this very beautiful piece of furniture, which is of choice walnut-wood, are eight feet long by nine feet high. The table portion and the lower back are finely polished, with appropriate mouldings. Above the tabular portion is a hand some mirror, extending the full length of the side-board, the frame of which is elaborately and most artistically carved ; the design being a bead of Bacchus for the centre, crowned with vine wreaths and grapes ; while the frame itself is com posed of vine-stalks, fruit, and foliage, with Bacchantes in troduced—the effect of the whole being chaste and rich, as well as elaborately elegant. It has been designed and exe cuted entirely on the premises of Messrs. Holden, on whose establishment it reflects great credit, for a gentleman belong ing to Liverpool ; and we believe the apartment which it is intended to adorn, is furnished en suite. CAUTION TO EMIGRANTS.—At the Police-court, on Thurs day, John Meade and Thomas Simpson, provision-dealers, of Strand-street, were charged with defrauding some emigrants on board the Marco Polo. On Monday M ead we n t on board of that vessel, and represented himself as shipping clerk to Messrs. James Bathes and Co. He then introduced himself to a Mrs. Brooks, and induced her by false representat , ions to purchase goods from his partner, Simpson, for which .i 31 was charged, their real value being about .4' . a._ These , goods were purchased on the representation that, if they were not pur chased, Mr. and Mrs. Brooks and Tho family rtiy mouidhtleflo police authorities starved on the passage to Australia. cir cumstances became known to Messrs. 13,g ' Baines,andafter, authorities succeeded in bringing the matter to when the property sold for. 31 was foun dn . ot value_for 115 , . The prisoners were remanded, and again by.i,ug.lit p on Sa turday; after some inquiry, the case was dISMISSed, PROMENADE FOR QUARTER OF AN HOUR. PART 11.

SCARISBRICK (LITE MISS WIIITNALL.)—The grand annual concert, given by Mrs. Scarisbrick, took place in the new Music-hall, Bold-street, yesterday evening week. The fine hall was filled in all parts, and presented a pleasing array of beauty and fashion. The performers were Madame Grisi, Madame Doria, Madame Dreyfus, Signor Mario, Signor Ciabatta, and Mr. J. L. Hatton. Mrs. Scarisbrick, in a chaste and animated style, sang Linley's ballul , " Ida," and also joined Mr. Scarisbrick in singing the duet, " O'er Shep herd's Pipe" and in other pieces. High enthusiasm was excited by the fine vocalization of Mario, which was in all respects excellent. Grisi and the other artistes did their devoirs in their usual able manner. PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY'S CONCERT.—The seventh concert for the season took place on Tuesday, when Mrs. Endersohn, Mrs. Lockey, Mr. Lockey, Mr. Hobbs, and. Mr. Henry Phillips sang the solos in "The First %Val purgis Night" of Mendelssohn in the first part, and several glees, madrigals, and songs in the second. Men delssohn's highly characteristic and dramatic music was given well. The second concert takes place on the 22d inst., at which Madame Viardot Garcia will sing in the oratorio of " Samson." DIE THEATRE ROYAL has during the past week been a place of captivating resort to the admirers of dramatic music, the house having been occupied by an operatic company of foreign artists, whose combined and individual powers of execution have secured for them a hearty wel come, and a large attendance of enthusiastic admirers. The company consists of Madame Caradori (prima donna), Madlle. Zimmerman (seconda donna), Miss F. Huddart (contralto), Herr Reichardt (primo tenore), and Herr Formes (primo basso); besides other performers of acknow ledged excellence, and a chorus of good training and great efficiency. The orchestra consists of thirty-four favourite instruments, conducted with much skill and tact by M. Anschuez, and it is ably led by Mr. Allwood. All the appointments of the opera have been attended to with care, and the style in which the various works have been put upon the stage deserves very high commendation. The performances during the past week have been four, viz.: "Norma," in Italian, twi ce ; " D er Freischutz" in German ; and "Lucrezia Borgia," in Italian. The first named piece beimg performed on Monday and Friday, and the others on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively. In " Der Freischutz," the general performance was excellent, the Agatha of Caradori being in most respects both pleas ing and effective; her singing of the fine aria, which is rendered in the English version, " Say my heart why wildly beating." was exceedingly sweet and expressive; the bridesmaid's song, by Anne (Madlle. Zimmerman), was thrillingly delightful. Both the character and music of Max were well rendered by Herr Reichardt ; and as Caspar, Herr Formes was not merely effective and strik ing, hi s ac ti ng a nd si ng i ng were i n adm i rable keeping, and: both great. On Thursday, Donizetti's grand opera of " Lucrezia Borgia" was produced; and performed in a style of great excellence ; the singing and acting of Cara dori, in Lucrezia, being artistic and dramatic in a very high degree. Of Miss F. Huddart's Maffio Orsini it would be difficult to speak too highly ; her performance was impassioned and appropriate, her singing expressive and correct. The Due Alfonso of Herr Formes was a fine operatic effort, his voice telling beautifully in the solos and also in the concerted pieces. The great efforts of this very able and effective operatic corps have as yet, how ever, been devoted to the splendid opera of "Norma," in which the talents and musical acquirements of Madame Caradori, as Norma, of Madlle. Zimmerman, as Adelgis, and Herr Formes, as Oroveso;lave ample scope, and have been freely displayed. The first-named lady has a figure commanding in its aspect, and susceptible of manifesting great dignity of deportment, dashed in effectiveness, it may be, by action somewhat more redundant than graceful, yet withal so full of passionate energy and earnestness as to ap proach the sublime. This was the character of both her act ing and singing throughout nearly the whole of the second act, the wild, ringing, and tumultuary tones of her up braiding and defiance imparting a tragic grandeur to the performance which animalcoletely took the audience by sur prise, and called forth a propos, but enthusiastic, encore, to the utter destruction of the dramatic effect of the scene, and the discomfiture of the continuity of the music and libretto ; the triumph of Madame Caradori, although deserved, was thus purchased at far too high a price. The duet between Norma and Adelgis, at the opening of the same act, was also rapturously encored—a compliment paid to the tender sweetness of expression infused into the music by Madlle. Zimmerman, but almost as detrimental to the truthfulness of the scene and inci dent, as that to which we have already accorded censure. In an English drama, what could be conceived more truly absurd than an encore of the quarrel scene between " Brutus and Cassius?" or to insist upon Hamlet reme ditating the philosophical soliloquy, " To be, or not to be ?" Yet, how would either of these be more ridiculous than the cases we have referred to ? unless, indeed, we are to suppose that in the one instance the sound conveys no sense to the understanding, but merely tickles the ear, a sensation the auditor is desirous of having repeated; while in the other, having both his ear and understanding addressed, he readily perceives the preposterousness of having an incident, however agreeably presented, repro duced. The Oroveso of Herr Formes was in all respects admirable. His rendering of the solo parts was as indi cative of the finished artist, as it was of the accomplished musician and the effective actor ; while in the concerted pieces, and even in the choruses, his powers were tastefully, yet tellingly, displayed. The tenor part of Pollio was well supported by Herr Reichardt, whose voice, with not a few natural disqualifications, nevertheless rendered both pleasing and valuable by his culture and intuitive good taste, manifested on most occasions, except in the some times seemingly haphazard introduction of his falsetto. He would do well to reform this, if an accidental vice. The other performers acquit themselves in a manner most satisfactory, and the public of Liverpool can hardly hope to have a better opportunity of listening to operatic music than that now afforded to them. AT THE ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE, Mr. G. V. Brooke has been repeating the performance of several of his best characters to good and warmly approving audiences. He still retains that popularity the prestige of his London fame has brought with it, and, being an actor of sterling ability, we trust he will long continue in its enjoyment. A LADY, on Friday evening, when crossing the river in the Monks' Ferry-boat, had her pocket picked of a purse, containg a ring and £5. TUB CHURCH OF ENGLAND INSTITUTION has received a valuable donation of books, presented to the library by Dr. Fisher, of Great George-street. NEW TRIAL.—In the case of " Greenfield v. Sykes," tried at the last Court of Passage, the Court of Queen's Bench, on Friday, granted a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be had. A PLEASING LETTER has been received by the Work house authorities from one o f the girls who were se n t last year to Australia. She is married to a German, and is doing well ; the other emigrants, also, are likely to succeed. JosErn MAnaiorr, the commander of the brig United, of Liverpool, has been committed for trial at Melbourne, on the charge of drunkenness and negligence on board.

LAST night, at the usual fortnightly meeting of this society, Mr. DAWSON presided. Mr. T. W. BAKER exhibited a mnemonical and rhymthic tablet, intended to fix on the memory of youth the leading events of the history of the early English kings. It was much admired for its uniqueness and ingenuity. Mr. LEVY, of Manchester, then exhibited a sewing machine, in practicd I operation. This was very much admired for its simplicity ai:d evident efficiency. We may state briefly that the machine is set in motion by a foot-crank, and the sewing performed by a double thread. A needle placed horizontally makes rapid perforations, when the thread is caught each time by the second filament, acting lat!rally, which hooks and secures it in a manner similar to ordinary knitting. Mr. Levy sewed with the machine a variety of fabrics of various substances, and the ingenious and rapid manner in which the work was performed elicited the highest approbation. Mr. Levy, in explanation and in answer to questions stated, that the machine was an American invention, but that it had been brought to England, patented, and very much improved. It could put in as ninny stitches within a given time. from 800 to 1000 a minute, as it would take twenty men to perform. It could sew, he said, a finer fabric than a lady can, and it was already used extensively by: Messrs. Nicoll and Co., of London, in the manufacture of their garments. It could be wrought by a girl of twelve years of age; and besides, a straight seam could sew (as he showed) circularly or in any di rection. He did not think it would injure tailors, fur they would still have a great deal of finishing to perform, and would be released mainly from what formed the drudgery of their business. The cost of each machine was about .30. It had been introduced into Liverpool only a fortnight ago, and had been shown to several sailmakers. who appeared highly pleased with its operation. The machine, for sailmaking purposes and otherwise, was already very extensively used in America. The ladies here who had seen it, appeared much to approve of it for the purposes of quilting. The CHAIRMAN thought it a most ingenious machine; and Mr. SALT, the Secretary, moved a vote of thanks to:Mr. Levy for its exhibition, and said that the society would be glad to hear of its success. The motion was carried by ac clamation, and duly acknowledged. It was then announced that Mr. Scott would read a paper the next evening, and the subject of amalgamation with the other learned and scientific societies of the town would be brought under notice. Mr. BAKER read an extract of a letter Irani Australia, sug gesting a new geological theory as to the gold formation there. The Rev. Dr. HUME replied to the vigws enunciated by the writer, in the course of which he stated that it was a well known fact how widely diffused was the precious metal; but then gold could be bought too dear. He believed that in some parts of Westmoreland they could get about 19s. worth of gold, at an expense of working of about 235. 6d. (A laugh.) The society then Adjourned. DEATH BT DROWNING.-011 Saturday evening a bov named John Hawkins, residing with his parentson Wellington-road, was missed about dusk. Search for him having been insti tuted, he was found about six o'clock in a pit, near Beresford road, quite dead. APOTHECARIES' HALL. — Amongst those who passed their examination in medicine, and received certificates to prac tise, on Thursday last, were Thomas Booth Brierley, Tat tenhall, Cheshire, and William Valentine Bird, of Sea combe. TICE KNIFE AGAIN. — Mr. Benson, of Watkinson-street, about three o'clock on Sunday afternoon, was stabbed by a man in Greenland-street, with whom he had a quarrel. He was three times struck in the face with the knife, and is severely injured. MAIL FOR AUSTRALIA. — Letters for the Marco Polo, for Australia, will be received at the Post-office until 7, p.m., to-day, and until 7 30, p.m., by payment of a late fee. All letters will have to be pre-paid. The Marco Polo will sail to-morrow. TIM ARABIA, British and North American Mail steam ship, Commodore Judkins, took her departure hence for New York, on Saturday at noon, with the usual mails, a full cargo, and 130 passengers, among whom was Mr. John Bigham, who is proceeding to San Francisco on business matters. MR. JAMES GORDON BENNETT, editor of the notorious New York Herald, has actually had the audacity to apply for the post of United States minister to Paris, and has, of course, been refused. Hence the gross party attacks made so constantly by the Herald on the government, and its virtuous abuse of " office seekers." THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER.—The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone arrived in Liverpool on Saturday, with his wife and daughter, from Hawarden Castle, the seat of Sir Stephen Glynne. He appeared wan and hag gard, and proceeded at once to Court Hey, near Huyton, the seat of his brother, Mr. Robertson Gladstone. Yester day he paid a private visit of inspection to St. George's Hall, and afterwards returned to London, for the purpose of attending a Cabinet Council. DIABOLICAL OITRAGE.— O n Saturday night, whilst a female was passing along Upper Hill-street, carrying a number of sheets, and other articles, some miscreant threw a quantity of fluid lime in her eyes, the effect of which was to deprive her temporarily of sight. The clothes were forced from the woman's hands, and the thief or others escaped. The poor woman suffered dreadfully for a considerable period, and serious results were for some time apprehended as to her sight. JENNY LIND'S DOMESTIC - LlFE.—Rumour would have it, some time ago, that the life of Madame Goldschmidt was not happy ; that her husband was inconsiderate, reck less, and even cruel. This, however, happily, is not the case ; for a lady who attends the church of the Rev. Mr. Cox, in Brooklyn, and who is in frequent correspondence with Madame Goldschmidt, has been assured, by the latter, that no man in the world could be a more delicate and complete pattern of conjugal tenderness, considera tion, and affection than her "dear Otto." A FAMILY of FICSPOCKETS.—Yeaterday, Patrick Brown, and Ellen Brown, his wife, together with Julia Brown, a girl about nine years of age, their daughter, and Daniel Dally, the step-son of Patrick Brown, were placed before the police magistrate, charged with picking pockets in Queen-square, on Saturday night, Russell, the detec tive officer, said he saw the girl, who was evidently 'aided and assisted by the other prisoners, put her hand into the pockets of several females who were engaged in making small purchases, from which she extracted something, and gave it to the other female prisoner, her mother. He followed them a short distance, and saw them enter a public-house, where he apprehended them. On searching the mother he found on her two purses, and 17s. Bd. in money. M`Culloch, another detective officer, stated that, at an earlier period of the same evening, he saw the prisoners in Byrom-street, where they insinuated them selves into crowds, the elder prisoners screening the little girl, who handed a shilling to the father ; upon which he patted her back, and said she was a good girl. The ma gistrate remarked that it was a most flagrant case of wickedness, to encourage a mere child, and that child own daughter, in such a course. He sentenced the father and mother to be imprisoned for three months each ; Daily, a young man about 18 years of age, to two months' imprisonment ; and the little girl, Julia, was remanded till to-morrow. SUSPECTED ATTEMPT AS BURGLARY.—On Sunday evening, about half-past five, as Russell, the detective officer, waikproceeding up Bold-street, he observed a man in the act of examining the lock of the door of Mr. Har greaves' premises. Russell watched his proceedings, and saw him joined by another, who also began to scrutinize the lock. The two then went round to the back of the pre mises, which they narrowly examined, and at which place they were joined by a third man. All three now came round to. the front, and the one whom Russell had first noticed, made a significant motion with his hands, and said to his companions, " It is to be done in this way," and looked up as if to the roof. Russell having by this time procured assistance advanced on them, when all three ran away ; they were pursued and all three taken into custody. On being pursued, the men dropped something. which, in falling sounded like keys, and which, on being picked up proved to be two skeleton keys, and shortly afterwards five other skeleton keys and a carpenter's chisel were found under circumstances which left no doubt as to their having been dropped by the men who had been ap prehended, and who gave their names as John Thomson, Michael Welsh, and George Cusack. They were brought before the sitting magistrates yesterday, when they denied all knowledge of the case as stated. They were remanded for a week. THE NEW COUNCIL.—The first meeting of the new Council will be held to-morrow, to take into consideration the following subjects :—The election of Mayor ; the election of eight persons as aldermen to supply the places of the undermentioned aldermen who go out of office under the Municipal Corporations Acts ; namely, Mr. Thomas Bold, Mr. James Parker, Mr. Joseph Coope r , M r. John Nelson Wood, Mr. James Proctor, Mr. John Bramley Moore, Mr. Edmund Molyneux, and Mr. Thomas Chilton ; the Mayor's allowance ; the appointment of six members of the Council to be members of the committee for the affairs of the estate of the Trustees of the Liverpool Docks, upon the vacancies occasioned by the retirement from the Council, under the provisions of the Municipal Corpora lions Act, of Mr. Charles Turner, Mr. James Holme, Mr. Edmund Molyneux, Mr. Oliver Holden, Mr. Matthew Gregson, Mr. James A. Tobin.—A recommendation of the Health Committee to increase the salary of Mr. W. L. Crosby, clerk in the treasurer's-office, Cornwallis-street, from £lOO to £l2O per annum, the consideration of which was postponed at the last meeting, and the appointment of the following committees :—Finance, fifteen ; Watch, Lighting, Fire-police, and fire prevention, eighteen ; Im provement, eleven ; Courts of Law, nine ; Markets, nine ; Education, fifteen; Gaoland House of Correction, thirteen; Town-hall Establishment, eleven ; Health Committee, sixteen ; Gardens, nine ; Church Expenditure, eight ; Ob servatory, ten ; Water, thirteen ; Library and Museum, fourteen ; Hackney-carriage, nine ; Shipbuilding Com mittee, ten ; and Baths, nine. INTERFERENCE OF THE POLICE WITH PUBLICANS. — Yesterday, Mr. Robert Walker, proprietor of the Man sion-house Hotel, Drury-lane, appeared at the Police-court to complain of the conduct of some officers of the police force. In the absence of Mr. Mansfield, the stipendiary magistrate, Mr. Walker presented a written statement, of which the following is a copy, to Mr. J. H. Turner, who occupied the bench : "TO MR. MANSFIELD, OR THE SITTING MAGISTRATE. " Sir,—My business requiring my early attendance is my apology for giving you a written outline of a circumstance which occurred yesterday. For two years last past I have been proprietorof a restaurant in Chapel-street (next door to the offices of Brown, Shipley, and Co.) From the premises being required, I have during the past month removed to the Mansion-house Hotel, Drury-lane. Since I have been in the business it has been my rule to close entirely on the Sab bath. Yesterday morning, after part of the family had gone to church, I was called from dressing by my wife in terms repeated so frequently and rapidly that I became alarmed and rushed down stairs, where I found three men in the habiliments of spring -cart drivers, or even worse disguises. They convinced me they were officers by exhibiting one dirty card. I admitted their authority, conceiving they had made a legal entrance, and told them the house was open to their inspection; but judge my surprise to find, on their de parture, that they had gained admission through a window. As a ratepayer and as a conservator of the law t ask your ad vice, as a stipendiary magistrate, if an entrance is to be ef fected into my house, where there are te n f ema l es , by the window, how am I to guard against felony or other crime? Three ordinary men might enter in the same manner. Had I had a friend or relative in the house, or had I invited any one to dinner (as I often do), the result might have been a conviction, as I should not in such a case have closed the sources of hospitality; for, though a licensed victualler. I cannot conceive I should be restrained more than any other British subject, whatever his trade or profession. Respect fully waiting your reply, I am, Sir, yours, &c. ' &C., ROBERT M. WALKER." The magistrate having read the note, said the case could not be taken up by him on such a representation. If o lk ul lr d . Walker had any complaint to make, the proper plan_ Gd w on he to apply for a summons, and he might searching ry l a ) n e r d g i h m r p e a c r o t m i a i l n i e ns e i c r i d eas la . e y a e .l i v n a e l r k it d o s r e of the would follow Nr.

Mr NA alker having stated that lie Y ll i i n at to 3 t l h r bergh's advice, then left the court, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1853. loos LIVERPOOL CHAMBER OP CO3/31ERCE.--"Mr' (I wi g M.P., Secretary to the Treasury, has been in town ~,in the last few days, and has been the guest of Mr. VrIL I JT Brown, M.P., at Richmond-hill.
