Mr. B Watson entered court at nine o'clock this Atorning, and resumed the hearing of Y 0816). THE LANCASHIRE AND - fORKSITIRE RAILWAY COM 7ANT.—Mr. Pickering, Q.C., contended cn the part-of the defendants that the negligence, if any existed, was not attributable to the pery flute of the company. Ho urged that 'the neglect was on the part of the deceased man himself not having given notice that he was about to work on the aiding, or else to the point4man or shuntsman employed by the East Lancashire Company. He denied that the eneine-driver of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Comp a ny, erh% had received no warning that any person was on the siding, cou!cl be held responsible far the accident which had occurred. The jury found for the plaintiff—damages £3lO. HATTON AND ANOTHER ?". ROYLE —Mr. Brett stated the case for the plaintiff; from which it appeared that the de fen lent, who was a shipbuilder, wbo was now in partner 'hip with Mr. Clover, but who prior to the dispute which was the subject matter of the present action, was partner of Mr. Robertson, under the title of Robertson and Royle. This firm had various business transactions with the plaintiffs, Messrs. Hatton and Cookson, of Liver pool, for whom they ware in the habit of doing work • the repairs of ship& Some years ago, Messrs. Hobert. ion and Boyle got into diffieulties, and a meeting of their =editors took place, at which they were bath present, and at which the creditors agreed to a composition of 15s in the pound. On the sth of December, 1850, an agreement vas drawn up to this effect, and it was also agreed that Xr. Robertson should collect the debts which were then tine to the firm, and should apply them to pay the compo vitien. As that naeting, the names of the present plain tiffs, Messrs. Hatton and Cookson, ware put down as debtors to the firm. An action was subsequently broug'it in the name of Messrs. Robertson and Royte, against the present plaintiffs. This action was referred, in 1850, to Mr. Massy, to make an award. Mr. Massy was a ship builder, who hed once been the foreman of Messrs. Robertson and Boyle, and the action was referred to his arbitration in consequence of his knowledge of the affairs. Tee reference was made it was contended by the plaintiffs, -with the full knowledge an-1 consent of Mr. _Hoyle, who would have been a gainer if the award had been in his favour, as the amount reccvered would have gone to pay Ste composition. On the Ist of Sept , 18.56, the arbi trator gave his award against Messrs. Robertson mid Moyle, and in favour of the defendants, who were plaintiffs in the present action. The award was made a rule of court, and the costs were taxed to £4O ls. ? Mr. Robertson left the company and the partnership was dissolved. The plaintiff made a demand upon defendant far the costs, and then were told that he was no party to the action which was brought against them, and that he had nothing t 3 do with the award or the payment of costs. The present action was accordingly brought to recover the meta under the award made a rale of court. A verdict vas taken for the plaintiff, subject to a special case to be 3)11:led as to the right of Robertson to collect the debts in e name of the firm. Mr. Atherton, Q C., and Mr. Brett, were for the plaintiffs, and Mr. James, Q.C., with Mr. -Upland for defendant. PEMBERTON V. ARKLE.—The plaintiff in this case was Miss Isabella Pemberton, and the defendant was Mr. Cteorge Arkle, of the firm of Leyland, Bnlien, and Co., bankers, of King-street, Liverpool. Mr. Aspinall stated the case for the plaintiff, from which it appeared that a young Russian merchant, named Stephanoff, who settled in Liverpool, obtained an introduction to the defendant, and (tarried s n basiness transactions to a very large extent. Atr. Stephanoff became acquainted with the plaintiff, Miss Pecnberton, and took a house for her in Sir Howard. street, Liverpool, where she received his visits and lived under his protection. At the time of his taking the house fur her Stephanoff also gave her a quantity of furniture and some plate. She got into bad health and went to live for some time at Broad Green, in the aeli,ghbourhood of Liverpool. During that time the fur. elture was ware h ouse d for her by Mr. Stephinoff. She afterwards came back to Live - p - ,01 and took a house in ifelville-place. to which tae furniture that had been warehouse.' for her was removed with some additional birnitnre. The connection between her and Mr. Ste hanoff appeared to cease, for during the time of her residence in Meville-plsce she only received about .E 1 from him, and finally he discontinued his visits altogether. Mr. Stephanoff subsequently became bankrupt. and Mr. Atkle, who was one of his creditors, was appointed assignee. Mr. Arkle tent a bankruptcy messenger to Miss Pemberton's house, to take possession of her furniture. The messenger remained eight days in the house and took the key, of it, to recover damages for the trespass—this action was accordingly brought. Miss Isabella Pemberton, the plaintiff, a very mild and demure looking young lady, was examined and stated that in March 18;5,5, Mr. Stephanoff took a house .tor her in Sir Howse d. street, and furnished it for her. Ehe always paid the rent and taxes herself.. Mr. Stephanoff at the time lived in Mount-street, and afterwards at Ilayton. In June 1856, she herself went to live at Broad-green, and when she left her house be Sir Howard-street, Mr. Stephanhoff put her furniture in a warehouse. She remained et Broad green until , October 1856, when she took a house in Melville-place. Her furniture was taken out of the warehouse, and the 'warehouse rent was paid by a friend, not Mr Stephanoff. This furniture was put into the house at Melville-place, along with some other furniture which she got from a friend, not Mr. Stephanoff. During her residence in Melville-place she only got about £1 from Mr. Stephanoff. She always paid the rent, taxes, and bills in her own n a me, and acted in every respect as the mistress of the honac- On the 28th February, 1857, possession was taken. She was asked for her keys, and gave them up. Possession was kept for eight days. On being cross examined by Mr. Je'nes, Q.O , who appeared with Mr. Brett for the defence, the plaintiff stated that she was living in a house with some other young ladies when she irst became acquainted with Mr, titephin off. She had no servant when the messenger cam e . There was a loan left in possession after the messenger had taken en inventory of the furniture. He som e ti mes ma d e himself useful. He lighted the fire, and on one occasion washed the tea-things. (Laughter.) Ere allowed her to take the keys when she wanted anything and get it, bat he said if it were known he would get into tr,uble. Other evidence was given of the fact of possession being taken, and of its being done by the authoriey of Mr. Arkie, through Mr. Evans, junior, one of the solicitors to the assignees. The possession was subsequently withdrawn after repeated notices had been sent by tie plaintiff's solicitor. Mr. James addressed the jury for the defence. The jury, after several hours' consideration, were unable to agree to a verdict, and at six o'clock were therefore discharged. GIANT V. DIENITAIf.--The plaintiff in this case was a lour dealer, and in December last bought from the defendant a quantity of corn, for which he paid .£32 on account.

The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, with leave to defendant to move for a nonsuit. ELLIS 0. BARBER.—SPECIAL JURY CASE.—In this Case the plaintiff was the well-known veterinary surgeon of Liverpool, and the defendant was the Rev. Mr. Barber, of Grasaendale, Aigburth. The action was brought to recover c - mpensation for damages arising from a breach of contract. Mr. Sergeant Atkinson and Mr. Jones appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Atherton, Q.O , and Mr. Cross for the defendant From the statement of Mr. Sergeant Atkinson, that the plaintiff, in the summer of 1855, sent three sons —one named William, aged 15 ; a second, Pater, aged 13 ; and a third, Thomas, aged 11 —to the school kept by the Rev. Barber, at Grassendale, Aigburth. The three lads had been previously at a school near Chester, from which they were removed, and in August, 1855, placed at the Rev. Mr. Barber's school. They were placed there as boa dere, Mr. Etlis agreeing to pay £l4O a year for the three. Mr. Ellis received very favourable reports of the progress of the boas each half year, and in some instances prizes were obtained. In January, 1857, plaintiff gave defendant notice that he was about to remove his eldest son, William, and, in the summer vacation of that year, William accordingly left No complaint of the conduct of the boy 3 was made, except that Peter was somewhat more irritable in temper than the others. It appeared that on the 27th of February, 1857, Peter and Thomas were engaged with some other boys in throwing stones at a dog, when the defendant came up, and, it was stated, used very violent language to the boys. The school bell rang, and defendant came with the boys to the school, where, in presence of the scholars assembled, defendant expelled them, accompanying the act cf expulsion, it was stated, with many opprobrious names, such as " brute" and " liae," applied to the boy Peter. The defendant told Peter to go out of the school at once, but said Thomas might wait until he was sent for. That day, at a late hour, the defendant came into plaintiff's place of business, and said he must take his boys away. Plaintiff asked for what reason, and defendant said they had been throwing stones, and that Peter had been imper tinent to his (defendant's) sister. The plaintiff said he was busy then, but if the defendant would step into his office. and wait a few minutes, they could speak of the matter. Defendant said, "You will not take them away ? Then, you may do as you please, for I expelled them both this morning." The examination of witnesses to prove the plaintiff's case was proceeding when the court adjourned. NISI PRIUS COURT. BEFORE MR. BARON CHANNEL, AND A SPECIAL JURY. THE LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH OF KINGSTON-UPON HULL V. THE TRINITY HOI.7SE OF HALL.—This case was resumed on the sitting of the Coart at 9 o'clock. The jury returned a verdict for tie defendants. In the case of SAMUELS ON AND OTHERS V. HEINS AND OTHERS, a verdict was taken for the plaintiff by consent. Damages, £1.633. ,N V. BSATIR —This w as an action brought by the plaintiff to recover damages for breach of covenant by the defendant. Mr. Hill, Q.C., with Mr. Mellish, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Wilde, Q.C., with Mr. Aspland, for the defendant. The plaintiff is the owner of considerable estates in this coun'y, and on the Ist of January, 1850, leased to the defendant certain lands known as the Moat Farm, for a period of 21 years, at £651 103. per year. One of the covenants of the lease was, that the defendant should keep a stock of cattle in the premises sufficient to consume all the has', straw, fodder and grain crops grown on the land, and that fcr every ton of produce so removed, he would bring in a certain quantity of manure. The defendant became insolvent, and while in Lancaster gaol, his brother and a party of the name of Clarke to whom his brother was indebted, entered the lands and proceeded to remove the growing crops. The plaintiff obtained an injunction in Chancery against them, and they, maintaining their right, gave security for any damage which he might sustain, and hence the present action. The defendant now alleged that he did not hold under the terms alleged by the plaintiff, and that he performed t o substance the covenants of his agreement, The case into which much extraneous matter was im— ported, was of no interest, except to the parties imme diately affected. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages one farthing. It is probable that the assizes will be brought to a close to-day (Friday.) BOYS' CLOTHING MADE WITH GREAT TASTE At LEWIS & COMPANY'S, Rarielagt street. The estates of Mr. Vincent Scully, whose unfortunate connexion with the Tipperary Bank has iavolved him in a sea of litigation, are to be geld in the Encumbered Estates Court in November next. Tne property lies in the coun ties of Tipperary std Cork, and comprises in the gross 3,-166 acres, and yielding a net rent of £2,100 a-year. THE SCARCITY OF GILCUSX.—It is, at all events. an in disputable fact that for years past grouse have been be coming more and more rare, and that this year they are scarcer than ever, both on the moor and in the market. The boxes of game sent as presents bj steamer, coach, and rail were never known to be so few in number. This is the report from the " booking offices." Were we pre pared to admit that the birds, though fewer than last year are healthier, the admission would only be to the effect that the bird; were rather better than last year. The old dis ease is still ravaging the scanty stock. Perhaps its ravages are not quite so active as before. There has been no ener getic attempt made to discover the cause, or supply a re medy, of a disorder which threatens ere long to make the glorious sport of grouse shooting a matter only of history. Ought it to be so ? Are we right in suggesting that the increasing interest attaching to deer-stalking is causing an unjustifiable neglect of groare? Not only do the deer retests seem to withdraw the attention of the sporting world from the rapid declension in the value of the grouse grounds, but they are allowed to injure them in other ways. To prevent the timid deer frets] disturbance, the extensive districts kept as forests are not cleared of " vermin" as they used to be. These mischievous ani mals have found in various district; a secure sanctuary. This is not, all. The watchers of the deer forests in some localities dislike the grouse, as they attract pacbers. To prevent the disturbance which would be occasioned by these marauding intruders, the, watchers of the deer sys tematically destroy the eggs of the grouse. If this des tuction of eggs is carried on over large districts of coun try, as we suspect it is, the eradication of the maraton a ti e disease will not be snfricient to restore the groP. - ,e to the moors and mountains of Scotland.—Mornitto Poss. BOY'S CLOTHING MADE V_C rI2 TH GREAT TASTY" At LEWIS do cObirAP, es. u ncingt , Amt., THE NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1857, POLICE INTELLIGENCE,-YZSTERDAT . LIVERPOOL. BEFORN MR. MAN,FIELD. A MONSTER.—Patrick Coyne, apparently a mechanic, was charged by a female named Era ibeth Bromley, with having committed a murderous attack on her. The evidence showed that the prisoner met the woman in Mr. Weston's public-house, in Scotland-place, and asked her to treat him. She replied she had no money, when the fellow struck her a desperate blow on the lower part of the face. Surgeon Davis, of the Northern Dispensary, said there were two very bad fractures of the lower jaw ; she was not able to speak, and would not for a consider able time. The prisoner was sent for trial. SAILING UNDER FALSE COL')URS.—A young woman, with a handsome face, who gave the name of Margaret Thomp son, was charged by officer 656, who said he got her in Whitechapel. Mr. Mansfield : What was she doing ? She was walking in the street dressed as she is now in sailor's clothes. The girl was dressed in a neat j icket, and looked (only for the face) much like a sat or lad. Mr. Mansfield : Has she trousers ? Yes sir. Mr. Mansfi ld why do you act thus ? Prisoner I did it for a lark,—l have my own clothes under them. Mr. Mansfield : Your pack and all ? No, but my petticoat and unaer clothin7. Mr. Mansfield : Strange fancy this in such weather. Go now, and don't come here again. She was discharged. - FURIOUS Dutvigo.—John Anderson, a person with a prefusien of red hair about his face, was charged by officer 687, who said he was driving a shandy in London Road; he was drunk and driving in a very furious manner and knocked down a girl, but fortunately she was not hurt. The prisoner was fined 203 and costs. RATHER Suspicious.-1 woman named Mary Anne Lyons, who sells apples in the street, was brought up by officer Reilly, 91, who said he got her offering a chamber candlestick (silver), a shell, a silver-mounted cigar -case, a copy of Tennyson's, and another of Longfellow's, poems, and a work called the " Flower Garden" (all beautifully bound) for pawn, and as she could not account for how she get them, he took her into custody. She said she got the articles from some children in Londod-road, in exchanu for same apples and halfpence. She was re manded. CHARGE AGAINST TWO POLICEMEN —Mr. John Hutchin son, a perambu'ator maker, residing' in Brownlow hill, charged police ( fficers 482 and 112. He said, on Tuesday at one o'clock he saw Cie policeme❑ dragging a woman in Castle-street ; they had her nearly choked, and when he spoke to them not to drag her s), they at once seized him by the neck, and nearly choked him. They dragged him to the Bridewell, and treated him in the most barbarous manner, and all for telling them that they ought not to treat the woman so. He said officer 482 acted more like a wild tiger than a human being. This statement was corroborated by Mr. George Wagstaff and Mr. Wm. Ebey. The police maintained, in reply to the charge, that they had acted very forbearingly towards the complainant, whom they accuzed of exciting the mob to rescue the woman. They read an apology that was entered in the charge-book at the station, and signed by the complainant, expressing his regret at having interfered wi h the police and promis ing never to do so any mere. Officers 369 and 159 were called for the defence, and said the complainant acted ont raE,reously and excited the mob. The complainant said 369 was a wicked man, and wondered God did not strike him dead on the spot for telling such wicked lies. There was a great deal of difference between the stories told at either aide, and the police brought a carter named Fishwick who sustained their version of the affair. Mr. Alansfield dis missed the case, remarking that the complainant had brought the case on himself by his gross conduct. BIRKENHEAD. BEFORE THE HON. SIR EDWARD DUST, RUM, AND TEE REVDS. MESSRS. FIELDER AND COXON. Yesterday Henry Watson, Absalom Walthew, and Wil liam Roberts, the engine-drivers and stokers of the Great Western Raileva . v, were brought up before the above ma gistrates according to remand, under the following circum stances:—Mr. J. B. Lloyd appeared on behalf of the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway Company, and Mr. Bretherton on the part of the Great Western. Mr. J. B. Lloyd, in opening the case of the plaintiffs, said that the precedings were instituted under the 56 sect, of the sth and 6th of Victoria, which enacts, any engine -driver or servant of a railway company should be subject to a fine penalty f , r not paving attention to the signals of the company. Mr. Lloyd then referred to another section of the act, which showed that the magistrates had jurisdiction in the case, and proceeded to detail the facts with regard to the collision as follows : A collision took place on this line of railway, near the entrance to the tunnel at Birkenhead, which destroyed four carriages, and it is almost miraculous that the pas sengers escaped without any materiel injury. It appears that an express train belonging to the Birkenhead, Lanca shire, and Cheshire Junctio❑ Railway Company left Chester at 9.15, and was due at Birkenhead at ten o'clock. Near the entrance of the tunnel at Birkenhead there is a junction of three lines—one leading to Monk's Ferry station, another to the railway offices and works in Grange-lane, and the third to the docks. Outside the tunnel, at the point of the junction, there is a semaphore signal, which directs the working of the three lines. Immediately before the accident, an engine belonging to the Great Western Railway C )mpany left the docks, and proceeded to the works in Grange-lane, for the purpose of procuring a couple of waggons. At this time the express train from Chester approached the tunnel, and the pointsman hoisted the usual danger signal to p-event trains coming up ; but, notwithstanding this signal, it is alleged that the driver and fireman of the engine belonging to the Great Western Company, on their return from Grange-lane with the waggons, continued their course. The driver of the express train saw the impending danger, and instantly backed his engine, but he was too late to prevent a collision. The engine sad waggons grazed the express train, the result being that the carriages, four in number, had their sides completely tor❑ away, but for tunate'y none of the passengers,who were greatly alarmed, sustained any injury beyond a few slight contusions. The damage sustained by the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway Company is estimated at about £4OO. Immediately after the accident occurred, Henry Watson, the driver of the Great Western Company's engine, and two of the firemen, were taken into custody, and in the course of the forenoon were brought before the magistrates,who were sitting in the Town-hall. Mr. Neville appeared for the p"osecution, and gtouded his charge on the 17th section of the sth and 6th Victoria, cap. 55, which makes it lawful for any railway company to detain any driver, fireman, &c., who may be guilty of wilfully or negligently doing, or omitting to do, anything on a line whereby the life of any person may be endangered. A number of witnesses were called to prove the case for the prosecution, after which Mr. Brotherton, in an able and argumentative speech, contendel that his client was not at all responsible for the injuries that had been received, but that the disaster arose from the Birkenhead Railway Company not having open signals Mr. J. B. Lloyd, replied on the case, after which the magistrates retired, and consulted for about 20 minutes, returned into court and directed the discharge of the prisoners, at the same time intimating that they considered that the Birkenhead C >mpany had not provided proper signals, by which accidents could be avoided, but hoped that this case would lead to a remedying of the evils complained. The hearing of the case occupied from 11 to half- past 6 o'c'ock, although it did not present a single feature of interest to the public xclu si vel y for CLOTHING BOYS from 6 to 20 Years. LEM IS & COI ANY, Itoin!ach street. We regret to learn of the death, on Saturday last, in his 19th year, of Mr. H. F. Balwer Macready, son of the great tragedian.

HEALTH OF LONDON DIIRTNI THT WERK.--[From the Regithar General's Returns ]—Tlia deaths registered in London, which in the last week of July rose to 1,238, and in the first and second weeks of August were respectively 1,224 and 1,187, exhibit a very decided decreaze in the week that ended last Saturday (August 22nd), the num ber being 1,091. Eight deaths from diarrhcel (including cholera) occurred last week in tLe sub-district of St. John Westminster, 7 in that of S'. Margaret Westminster, 5 in Brompton, 5 in the Hackney sub-district, 6 in Goodman's fields, .5 in Bow, 5 in Trinity Newington, 5 in Lambeth Church sub-district (2nd part), asv 5 in Plumstead.

Yesterday, at the Police-0f6..3e, before Messrs. Dixon and Bolton, Mr. M.Gowan appeared to prefer a complaint under the Public Health Act, and to ask f)r an order in the terms of the act. Mr. Suowba.l was on the other side. Mr. M Gowan said : I have to trouble your worships with an application under the Nuisances Removal Act of 1855, and the 26 h section. He real the clause of the act which relates to the expoeure for sale of unwhole some provisions, each as those enumerated, and of which flour is one, and gives power to the officers of health to seize, and, having seized it, to bring the article seized and the parties so exposing for sale before the justices, who may order the same to be destroyed, or so disposed of as to prevent it from going into consumption as human food. From the circumstances he would state, and afterwards substantiate iu evidence, he would call on them to make an order on Mr. Flynn, fl ur factor, of Drury-lane, as would prevent the consumotiou as food of a quantity of flour which he bad disposed of for food. Mr. Fhnn: The flour is not mine, it is Mr. Roberts's. Mr. MtGowan : Very good. Mr. Flynn says it is not his. It is my duty to sh ow - that, whoever is the owner, it is unfit for human food, and to call on you to make such an order as shall prevent it from being s) used. Mr. M'Gowan then examined Edward Freney, inspec tor ander the He ilth Cmimittee, wh3 said that on Saturday last, he proceeded to the premises of Mr. Roberts ' baker, in Union.street, and he there saw several sacks of flour, numbered from Ito 5. They remained there all day on Saturday, and on Monday morning he visited the premises again, and saw the same flour st,ll there. A spring cart came, on which they were loaded and taken away. He followed the cart, which went to Drury-lane, and hailed No. 4 loft in a warehouse there. It was Mr. Flynn's loft. A man answered that the flour must not go into the warehouse, and he was turnisg away the cart when the inspector asked him where he was going with the flour, and be seized it as not being fit for human food. He took it to Cornwallis-street, where it remained still. He was quite positive it was the same flour he saw in the cart, and that was removed from Mr. Roberts's. He gave a quantity from each sack to Mr. Roeere. The inspector was cross-examined by Mr. Snowball as to the connEetion of Mr. Flynn with the flour. Mr. Roberts was examined, and stated that he was a baker, living at 5, Unioa-street. He made a purchase of a quantity of flour from Mr. Flynn; the flour was sold as "sweet and sound." Mr. Flynn said the fi sur was both, but was a little old, and that would be an improvement if it were good flour. The flour was sent home, and next morning he baked some and found it very unfit. He went to Mr. Flynn and said it would not suit, and ha must take it back. He replied ha would endeavour to sell it, and subsequently he stated he had s old It to Mr. Salt, whose brot! - ier was contractor for bread to the Borough Gaol ; but the fl cur must not go from his shop, fir it it were known he ha i rejected it, no other person would take it. He said Mr. Salt's brother had soma of the same flour previously. Mr.' Flynn said he would scud a cart for it on Monday, and a cart Caine, and the carter gave him a receipt fur the flour. To Mr. Snowball : He toli:me he came from Mr. Flynn. His marks are on the bags. To Mr. 11.1`Gowan : I made the sam2les of flour I received from the inspector into bread with my own hands. I did it in the proper manner, and I produce the loaves baked thus made. (The witness here produced two pan loaves of a must revolting substance, which, he said, was the product. Mr. B don tasted, bat, we believe, did not swallow any. The interior of the loaves were all hollow.) I produce a portion cf a loaf made of other flour in the same manner. (This bread appeared to be of very good qua!ity.) Those loaves were all baked this morning. _ _ _ Dr. ICluspratt was - examined, and said he had analysed a speelmen of flour sent him, It was unfit for sale or use. He did not find that it was adultered with any foreign substance. _ _ _ To ✓ Mr. Snowball : I don't know what it is good for ; I don't know that it is good for anything ; certainly not for food. It might be used as starch, or for sizing, or for pigs. Mr. Snowball] said Mr. Flynn never for one moment desired to sell anything injurious. He bought flour to sell again. Ho bought this flour in the ordinary way. He sold some of it, and this remained. When the purchaser objected, he sold it again, but Mr. Roberts was to bear the risk. Of course, he may got bad flour ; any one mil , get_it. _lie did not . want to force it into con sumption. _ _ Mr. Roberts : He sold it to me to make bread. Mr. Flynn : It was bought 153 under the market price. Mr. Roberts : I paid 423 6d for it, and that was the full price of the day for that quality as it was sold. Mr• I\l:Gowan said unfortunately Mr. Flynn's case was not the only one, although discovery happened to fall on him. The most painful scenes were witnessed at the Cornwallis-street offices. Parties brought bad flour there, and bad bread made from flour purchased in various places, and which should never have been allowed into consumption. They complained with tears in their eyes, and many of them with manifest signs of hunger, of having such stuff imposed on theta ; arid in many cases the young men in the flour shops had given the parties mosey from their own pockets to purchase other flour. That was a state of things that ought not to be. There were very large quantities of such flour constantly brought into Liverpool. It was applicable to many uses, but not fit for food. The Health Committe was anxious to prevent it from going into consumption, but they did not know how they could ill it. The flour factors like Mr. Flynn could help them, and every respectable flour factor ought to do so. The appeals to the health officers were painful beyond measure. Mr. Snowball said there was no doubt that damaged flour came to Liver/nol applicable to many purposes, although not for human food. It was very good for cattle, for instance. Mr. M'Govvan : We have no desire to press on Mr. Flynn ; if .he gives us a guarantee that this flour shall be used as food for cattle, and not for human food, we shall give it up. Mr. Snowball: lie will give a guarantee that he will not sell it for food, or to any person but a cattle dealer. Ultimately, at the suggestion of Mr. Wybergh as to the course the law required, it was arranged that the flour be retained in Cornwallis-street for the present, and that the defendant be again brought before the court, to make such final order, as to penalties and otherwise, as the court may deem right.

BOYS are OL'YrIIED from the Ages of 6 to 20 Ye r THOMAS FULLER BACON.—A local paper states that the fate of Thomas Fuller Bacon, convicted et the last assizes for Strfford, of administering to his mother, Aun Bann, a quantity of arsenic, with intent to murder, has been de cided. The convict is to be kept in penal servitude for the term of his natural life. EXTRAORDINARY PRZSENCE OF MIND.— One day last week (says the Sydney Morning Herald of April 29) Mr. Hawthorn, junior, of Singleton, was out riding in the bush, when seeing a kangaroo rat, he chased it until at last the animal took refuge in the hollow limb of a tree. He im mediately thrust his hand into the hole to catch it, but as quickly pulled it out, as something had bit his finger. Upo❑ looking at his hand he saw a death adder clinging to his finger. No time was to be lost, and Mr. Hawthorne, with the utmost coolness and fortitude. immediately took his penknife and cut his finger of. We learn that no serious consequence beyond the loss of the finger has re sulted from the bite. THE ASSASSINATION IN THE HAMPSILID-ROAD.—Llte on Tuesday night, Gallo Beurenet.i, in the service of Mr. Benetti, coffae-house-keeper, No. 17, Ad tm's-row, Hamp stead-road, who was stabbed in the abdomen, on Sunday night last, by Cornelius Denny, an.l who was taken to the University College Hospital, where he has been ever since, expired, the medical gentlemen of the Institution having done all in their power to prevent a fatal resul , . A few hours previous to dissolution his wife was sent for, and on her arrival the scene was most distressing. The unfor tunate man lingered in great agony, and died, as we have stated, at a late hour in the evening. The deceased was a Swiss in rather indigent circumstances, and his friends are all similarly situated. SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT BATHS IN LONDON.-0/1 Wed nesday evening, an inquest was held in the Board-room of Middlesex Hospital, before Mr. Wakley, the coroner, touching the death of John Ridgwell, aged forty, an engineer, lately employed at St. Jams's Bath, which was occasioned by an escape of steam into a boiler, in conse quence of the unprotected state of the valve attached thereto. Three men suffered from the melancholy occur rence, which took place on the 22nd ultimo, a few days subsequent to which James White, one of the sufferers, died, upon whose body an inquest was held. Mr. Jackson the house surgeon, described the nature of the injuries the deceased received as most severe, and which resulted in his death on Monday last. The coroner anim adverted is the strongest terms upon the gross neglect of the company in not having a proper guard to the valve •f the boiler; sod addressing the tattier of the deceased, who is principal engineer at the establishment, observed, that should another accident occur involving the loss of life, be (the coroner) should consider it his duty to com mit him to Newgate for manslaughter. A verdict was then returned of " Accidental death," with a recommenda tion to the proprietors of the baths to have a protection round the valves of the boilers. BOTH' CLOTHING MADE WITH GREAT TABTS, At LIMN be COMPA.NY'S r liatm!lagh eireqt, THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. The committee of shareholders appointed at the half yearly meeting of the coinpany on the 12-1 of March have issued their report. It is signed by Messrs. C. F. Giesler, chairman, Wm. Malins, an IE. T. Waters. They state that they had received every assistance which the offi cers of the company had it in their power to give, both as regarded furnishing accounts and the straightforward man ner in which they gave their evidence. These remarks ap ply not only to thosa connected with King's-cross, but all the stations on the line visited by the committee. The Redpath frauds are reported on by the committee as follows: —4` First. No committee of directors had any supervision over this important deportment, nor did they (the direc tors) individually or otherwise, examine or cause any examination to insure that the proper checks were maintained• Second. When Redpith became registrar, the whole duties of the office were left to him and his clerks, without supervision or check of any kind. Third. The auditors, although they were aware in 1854 that pay ments were made not in accordance with the amounts due on dividends, continued to sign the accounts issued to the shareholders, declaring them to be correct. Fourth. The secretary signed warrants for payments for large sums, not knowing even the amount for which he was issuing those warrants, and without instituting any examination or check of any description, nor was the amount upon which divid ends were issued ever compared with the authorised capital upon which they were due. Fifth. As the accountant had no list of the warrants issued, he only knew the amount of those which had been paid by the bankers, either by the pass book or the cancelled warrants returned aftrr payment." With regard to the balance-sheet for the half year ending December 31, 1856, the committee state they believe that it exhibits a sound financial position, that the large amount of cash in hand bearing interest will be viewed with setisfection, that the debts of the company are good, and that the over payments of dividend, amount ing to £9,362 are to be written off. As a general rule the committee are of opinion that on all completed lines the capital account should be closed, awl every expenditure on those lines should be borte by revenue. The committee consider that the passenger tr iffic is well manag-d un the Great Northern, and that the fares are as good as on other lines, and generally sufficient, In conclusion, the commit tee recommend "that the shareholders should require a proper supervision on the part of the directors, not frr the purpose of meddling interference, but that the beard may be enabled to understand the business of the railway, and prevent abuses, or correct any that may exist 48. Consid ering the voluminous accounts, monthly balances woul be advisable. 49. Friendly relations with other lines should be kept up, and where convenient, working agreements made, but only on equal terms. 50. Guarantees of every kind should leo avoided, experience having shown that we have lost by all we have given. 51. That the general capital account be closed as soon as possible. 52. By carrying out these views—careful attention on the part of the directors, proper economy and avoidance for the future of such mistakes as have been already committed, and for which we must pay the penalty—your property ought not to be inferior to any of the metropolitan lines. If year committee have not been able to give SO much information as may have been expected and desired, yet if they can only succeed in rousing shareholders to look more to their own interests, and nut trust implicitly to others, they will consider their labours have not been without value." THE ATLANTIC CABLE AND THR I,EGRAPEE TO INDIA. The Times says—The Atlantic Telegraph Company in the exercise of their discretion have decided on not immediately renewing the attempt to connect England with the United States, and their cable is disposable for a similar enter prise in another direction. The Times urges in the strongest terms the purcha-e of the cable. If an Indian telegraph had been in operation we should have been saved all, or nearly all, our successive stages of misconception, and should have done at first what we did at last. We began with despatching four or five regiments to India, whereas the demand has already absorbed between twenty and thirty. The Indian mutinies have been estimated as threatening a cost of some £20,000,000, aid could any investment be more promising than the application of less than a twentieth part of this sum to the establishment of such a communication as might most materially modify the expenditure of the whole. The restoration of order in a single province of Bengal through the agency of this tele graph a month sooner than would otherwise have been the case would go far towards a reimbursement of the whole outlay.

NAUTICAL FETE AT TEIGNMOUTII.—On Monday, on the occasion of the usual regatta at Teignmouth, there was a fete, the object of which was to assist the Rival National Life-boat Institution which keeps at Teignmouth, and at fifty or sixty other places on the coast a life-boat to render assistance to a shipwrecked crew. Various ingenious con trivances for the preservation of life in cases of shipwreck were successfully tested. Among other experiments made was the following :—A vessel was exhibited in the offing with her gear adrift, ensign reversed, and her minute guns firing. On the signals being made, the life-boat, well manned, was hunched, and proceeded to the ship. The crew were taken on board the life-boat, and were brought on shore amid the acclameions of a large number of spec tators. Successful experimen's were also made with Captain Minby's apparatus, Mr. Offord's expanding flute grapnel!, and various other contrivances for saving life at sea. BIG JUMP.—The biegest jump we have heard of re cently, was made a day or two since by a man who wanted to stop at a station on the Central road that the express train didn't break up at. Tee train was going at the rate of 45 miles an hour—just as the station was passed, the individual referred to rushed oat of the rear car, carpet bag in hand, and jumped. He struck on the ground some little distance, of course, from the point a., which he left the cars. One foot struck the ground first, and so heavily did hs come down, that the heel of his boot was torn off. His second foot struck twelve feet distant from his first track, and the boot-heel was also ripped from his other boot. The man continued his rapid movements, being thrown into all sorts of positions—for some distance beyond. "Ho finally " brought up" no less than seventy four feet from the spot where he left the rushing train. On picking himself up, he was asked if he had been hurt, when he answered he did not knovi, and immediately picking up his watch and a number of his buttons, which had been scattered by the shock, and seizing his carpet-hare, he started off, with his dinner tolerably well settled.—New Haven Register. THE BERLIN CONFSRE•CCE —lt is arranged that the conference at Berlin, for which arrangements were some time since Glade at Lambeth Place, at a meeting presided over by the Archbishop of Canterbury, shall commence on Wednesday, September 9, with devotional exercises in the German, French. and English languages. On the second day there will be an address of salutation and welcome by the Rev Dr. Krummaoher, a mrt chaplain, Potsdam. On the third day there will be a discussion on the diversities in Christendom, and reports will be presented on the re ligious and ecclesiastical condition of European and other countries. On the fourth day reports will be presented in rsference to the state of Protestantism in Roman Catholic countries. The conference will last nine days ; and amongst those who are expected to take part in it are the Bishop of Down and Connor, Bishop Gobat, the Rev. Dr. Berkholz, superintendent and consistoral assessor of Riga ; the Rev. Dr. Meille, of Turin ; Professor Shankel, of Heidelberg ; Dr. Merle d'Aubiene, of Geneva ; the Ray. G.

LEIGH HUNT AND HIS MUSEUM OF POBTS HAIR.— Buchan Read, who just come hither from Rome to fulfil some painter's engagements, took me the other evening to visit Leigh Hunt—the sole surviving star of that constel lation which dawned upon the literature of England with the present century. The old poet lives in a neat little cottage in Hammersmith, quite alone, since the recent death of his wife. That dainty grace which is the charm of his poetry, yet lives in his person and rimesters. He is seventy-three years olde but the effects of age are only phy sical—they have not touched that buoyant joyous nature, which survives in spite of sorrow and misfortune. His deep set eyes still beam with soft cheerful light ; his voice is gentle and musical, and his hair altho' white falls in fine silky locks on both sides of his face. It was very gratifying to me to press the same palm which Keats and Shelly had so often clasped in friendly warmth and to hear him, who knew them so well, speak of them as his long lost companions. He has a curious collection of locks of the hairs of poets, from Milton to Browning. That thin tuft of brown silky fibers, could not really have been shorn from Milton's head ?" I asked myself. " Touch it," said Leigh Hunt, " and then you will have touched Miltoa's self." " There is a life in hair, though it be dead, said I as I did so repeating a line from Hunt's own sonnet on this lock. Shelley's heir was golden, and very soft ; }Coat's a bright brown, curling in large Bacchio rings; Dr. Johnson's gray, with a harsh and wiry feel; Dean Swift's both brown send gray, but finer, denoting a more sensitive organization ; and Charles Lamb's reddish brown, short and strienge I was delighted to hear Hunt speak of poems '.7ihi c h h e s till d es i gne d to write, as if the age of verse ttould never cease with one in whom the fa. oult7 is bP:rn.—Bayard Taylor.

The author of the pamphlet bearing the above title is not unknown to the readers of works on the Currency question, and those who have carefully perused " Currency , Self-regulating," will be prepared to find in "The Trne Principles of Currency" the opinions of an intelligent and practical man of business —one who has thought deeply, and who has had the opportunity of testing his theories bY practice. The publication of this pamphlet, says the author, arose from his desire to lay before the Bank Committee his evidence on the evils of the present monetary system, which hs proffered to Sir George Cornewall Lewis , but received for reply "that it was not probable he would be selected for examination." No other means remained of making his views public than by issuing them in the form of a pamphlet. The author has given bis evidence in question and answer; and has kept 1 0 view two leading objects —the exposure of the evils of the present system, and their remedy. ge dwells with great clearness on the fallacy of basing our currency on gold alone, seeing that it is an article of met' chandize, and consequently ever flectuating in its supply ; "hence, when the exchanges are favourable, gold flows los and money becomes unduly abundant ; while, on the other hand, no sooner do they turn, and gild is .exported, than money becomes injuriously scarce," and both paper money and specie are withdrawn simultaneously, white the rate of interest rises to the great injury of the mercantile corn' munity, and to the destruction of commerce. In questions Nos. 64 to 70, the author shows " that the much boasted check of 'convertibility' operates only when the exchanges are unfavourable, and gold is wanted for exportation ; • and that at all other times the circulation and the issues or the banks are as really unlimited as they would be under an irredeemable paper currency. The plan pro posed by Mr. McPhin is that an institn'ion, called a Bank or any other name, should issue notes to be made the legal tender of the country, that the notes so issued should be inconvertible, leaving gold to find its market price amongst other mercantile commodities. For the basis of the issues, he proposes the national stock of the country, which being considered the safest investment for capi talists, he argues, must be the best security to give for the circulating medium, inasmuch ins "it would represent A certain value of commodities in general." The common opinion that prevails respecting the uniformity of the value of gold, is very clearly shown to be a fallacy. In 1815, when the news of the landing of Napoleon in France reached England, this metal rose, at a bound, from .C 4 4$ to £5 Cs per ounce, or 26 per cent. The present variations are equally great, though they are ingenious], veiled from observation by our currency arrangements , the rise in i s value being indicated only in the fall of other commodities. For numerous valuable suggestions and for the details of the proposed plan, we must refer the readers to the pamphlet itself ; and as security, uniformiti and expansion are the objects sought, we recommend an attentive nerusal of the publication, from which may be gathered much valuable information on the currenol question. Apart from this the pamphlet abounds with variety of commercial information, unknown to a gres t many writers on the currency question ; and though we do not coincide with all the author's suggestions, we consider he has contributed much valuable knowledge upon t . , 1249 subject.—Fromthe True Principles of Currency, by ff • Lyon Mc.

Preuhr , priest of Sr. Eleazor, County of Beauce, writes to the Journal de Quebec a very graphic description of a water spout which devastated his parish, and of which he was $ witness. A large and dark cloud was overhanging the place on Sunday forenoon, July 18, when a noise, as that, of the sea in a storm, gave warning of the approach 0 ' something unusual. Soon the cloud seemed to burst, letting fall towards the earth a long train, somewhat is the shape of a funnel, with the small end turned down wards. It revolved rapidly, hissing like escaping stout , and swinging to and fro, and imitating the contortions of a snake. When the small end reached the ground, it lifted and carried away in its revolving impetus whatever it came in contact with. Boards, timber, stones, aria portions of houses were whirled in the air and thrown at a distance with a fearful report. Several houses were thug razed to the ground. One horse and three COWS wer e drawn by the power of suction to the waterspout, and after being raised high in the air were let gradually down; they escaped uninjured, and were only covered with mud. Five carts were carried to a great height and thrown across some fields into the woods, being smashed by the fall. Large trees, such as maples, have been uprooted and removed a distance of five acres. This phenomena , although disastrous and awful, must, however, have been s sublime sight, which it is granted to very few, especially iu Canada, ever to witness.—Montreal Witness. ACCIDENT ON THE SQOTTISH NORTH EASTERN RAW WAY. —On Monday afternoon, when the 2.24 mail train from Aberdeen to London was a few miles south of Mon trose, and near the Guthrie station, drawn by two eugineet one of the axles of the second engine broke, by which the carriages were thrown off the line. The first engine con tinued to drag the train along, and thus saved the greater part of the train from being thrown s.ver the embankment , bat the coupling chain of the seventh carriage from th e end having broken, all the carriages beyond it fell over; and two of them were smashed. One of these, a third class carriage, was full of passengers, and yet, although i t was shivered to atoms, no lives were lost. Thu other car' ridge which was broken was a ;second class one, and here , also, the passengers had a miraculous escape, none being killed, although from fifteen to twenty persons were hurt. The guard and inspector, who were in the guard's cons partment, were thrown into a ditch, and the latter seriouali injared, but none of the parties have been dangsronsll bruised. Medical attendance was speedily obtained, arid the stationmaster at Guthrie, and other officials, were most attentive to all the passengers who were maimed. The line was speedily cleared, and the through passengers who were in the first portion of the train, and not thrown over, pro ceeded southwards. The engine the axle of whic h gate way, is one of the best of the company's plant' is live years old, and the fracture has no appearance of having been previously weak, or in any degree unsound' Among the luggage and parcels destroyed were a consider' able number of boxes with game from the Highlands , few of which can be in any way identified. The occurrenc e was purely accidental, and may be said to be the first accident which has happened on this generally wall manage d line. MR. HUMPHREY BROWN AT TEWKESBURY.—Mr. Brown (says a correspondent) appears still to he considered 14 some of his late constituents as both a martyr and a here; The worship of a portion of the population, principally 01 the lower classes, seems to be extraordiniry. Mr. Brosgr! lost little time after his release from h.tween the walls 0 ' the Claeen's Bench prison in paying a visit to the t 0 which had the honour of giving him birth,. to receive the cendolenec of tad sympathising friends.
