THE COOLIE HORRORS. R. The China papers contain further me Vole facts, elicited during the investigation of " c.rl4 coolie horrors." The acting ‘s Harbour Maste . ,-,. nun L migration Officer," Mr. E. Mitchell, on hie ()elimination, yielded information 'Which proves him to have teen at least a consenting party to the villanies of the tystem. The inquiries which have been instituted pr"jve, moreover, with sufficient clearness, the direct fia i . 3 :c of tho European Coolie Agents, for corn_ plicity •sreith their ruffianly Chinese servants in the base and Brutal trade of kidnapping hitherto carried on with impunity there. The Emigration officer admitted that, when he went on board one of the coolie prisons, called emigrant passenger ships, he was supplied with false translations of a bond which the men had been compelled to sign. It purported to be an agreement of service for five years, at a certain rate, whereas it was in reality a bond to serve for eight years on the same aggregate rate. There was no serious notice taken of this ; the fact was spoken of quite incidentally; and it passed off as if it were quite a trivial and pardonable piece of stratagem, It turned out too that the pork, of which a large quantity had been put on board for these poor wretches, had been on two former occasions. oondemned, being "rotten and full of maggots," and that the Fame trash had been for the third time shipped, doctored up by means of strong pickle Which would for the time being destroy the maggots. This brutal rascality does not appear to have much shocked People there, even after confessed by the perpetrator of it; till at length the China Mail exposed it, and denounced the business, in terms sufficiently strong. On this the honest pork doctor stepped forward, and proclaiming himself to be a very ill used individual, threatened a pro secution—candidly admitting the damning, fact charged against him, but protesting against any imputation of baseness thereupon founded. There cannot surely be conceived a more telling comment upon the nature of the coolie trade than the following scene, reported by an eye witness of the whole : Yesterday, about ten o'clock a.m., I heard a fearful Yell, and running to my windows, 1 found that 300 to 400 coolies had absconded from their keepers in old Duran's Premises, and were running in all directions. I am told one of the (slave ?) keepers had punished 801110 of them, and a fight commenced, when four coolies ran away ; the keepers followed them immediately leaving the gate without protection, and, of course, as this seems to have been their plan, all the remaining coolies bolted. I saw the keepers knock down half-a-dozen with large bamboos outside my window, but they only succeeded in stopping a few. A few weeks ago several hundreds escaped in the same way from Mr. L. Barretto's premises. And this is sappNed to be the conduct of emigrants, v oluntarily proceeding from their native country, in B angaine anticipation of conditions of prosperity and happiness not afforded them at home? The China Mail supplies another instance of the escape of a gang of these men from slavery. The other day." he writes, " we received information of a stampede of these unfortunates from a barracoon where they had been kept in readiness to be sent on board ship. About two hundred of them broke out, and made in a mass for the Santo Antonio gate, prepared to resist any attempt at recapture; and very few of them were retaken, though two were found dead from their wounds the following lin°rl gag- They had all been supplied with new clothes, Which they threw off hurriedly as they ran ; and the road_ side was plentifully strewed with jackets. Their coun trymen, as they hurried along, encouraged them, and pointed out the straight road to the gate." The atrocities of this vile trade, carried on in a British e°l °nY, are a blot upon our national honour. It is de elareflthat the Danish, Portuguese, and Swedish subjects resident in China, have made forcible appeals to their governments to have a stop put, if possible, to this in famous trade in human flesh." The French Legation, too, have issued warnings to their merchant vessels not to engage in the trade. After the full exposures that have been made, we cannot believe that the British authorities Will longer tolerate' ts continuance. It might to well that at this juncture some efficient in vestigatiouhe made into emigration matters as they are among us in India.—Phoenix, May 6. STiALING A. CHILD TO GET A. HUSBAND. On Sunday afternoon, a German girl, about 16 years of age, named Bertha Bushkill, residing in Strattonport, .Queen's county, was brought before Justice Wood, at the Essex Market police-court, on charge of kidnapping a child, eight months old, son of George Rhode, of N 0.75, Avenue A. It appears that accused had been keeping company with a young German, and was very desirous that he should marry her. The lover rather declined this honour, until finally she threatened to have him arrested for seduction, and claimed that he was the father of a ' c hild, which she pretended was being taken care of by some of her friends in Houston-street. The lover finally -consented to marry her, providing she would produce the child. Bertha accordingly came to this city, and in-pas- Slog t hrough Avenue A, saw comp:ainant's daughter-with the child, on the walk. She gave the little girl twenty . ce nts., and -sent her to a grocery to purchase ' °ll3 ° soda crackers, and while absent, the young 'Toveriernan absconded with the inf a nt. R e t urn i ng h ome, t h e was much pleased with he infant, an at 'once agreed to fulfil his part of the contract. A room was l o liga g e d , and preparations were going on for th e we ddi ng "be consnmmated on Monday. The distressed parents nad_offered a reward for the recovery of their infant, and - one -of the citizens of Strattonport reading it, at once V i is p e cted that this was t h e c hild, and, through his exer nns it was restored to its parents. The Germans in the Z.leioltY of Avenue A very g en e r ou sly ra i se d a su b scr ip- I°e et 150 dollars, and paid it to the finder, whose name ;yurt'hee did not learn.

The _Providence Journal, June 8, says :—" The report that Rcrace Vernet had been commissioned to paint a battle-sieee for the Capitol at Washington is not yet c0n .44 Med. Vernet is, without doubt, the best living painter in battle scenes. A friend in Paris writes that he met Tercet, and congratulated him on the compliment from the New World to his genius. The painter replied, that be new nothing of the fact. He had been sent for by the American minister, who -read to him a dispatch f: orn Washington. It was in English, of which Vernet does - r it understand a word. He replied in French, regretting Isisindnaasbit"ty to un d erstand what the minister bad been so 0- conntnunicate to him, and the intervi,-,w closed, to the mutual satisfaction of the partied. Bat Vernet added, that as soon as his grandson, Edwin Delaroche, came home fro m sc h ool, he should send him up to the .h meriean minister, to find out whit was in the dispatch, and to report todirt] if it was true that he had been invited to America. CHOLERA AT Sr.. PETERSBURG.--Accounts from St. Petersburg have been received here of a fatal and some what mysterious occurrence at the seminary of St. Cattle- Tine, instituted for the daughters of nobles, and under the unteidiate patronage of the Engl.-cm. On the occasion of rile festival, a di nner was g i ven to the pupils, and to.other 'lieli educated at the institution, among whom was th ti ( i ) untess Morny.

Sir,—l saw a letter in your Saturday's edition, signed " A Leadsmen," which induced me to refer to your back numbers for the letter alluded to. It is one with the initial letter " R" at the close of it. After reading it, I was certainly not sur prised at finding the writer was either ashamed or afraid of putting his name to such a production. Only conceive, if possible, what a nice, amiable, good-tempered, sweet, merciful man he must be, his heart overflowing with the milk of human kindness, only to propose " Transportation for six years," to any unfortunate commander in the Mer chant Service, who should get into difficulties, or get his ship on shore in thick weather. I am afraid our friend "R" has not suffered affliction himself, or he would learn to pity the unfortunate. If this is the punishment that our friend "R" would visit, on misfortune or error of judgement, what punishment would he inflict upon rogueish members of parliament, and scampish directors of swindling Banks, that rob the widow and the fatherless, in such notorious cases as have appeared before the public lately ? if "R" will take good advice, he will leave the sailors alone, and remem ber the old adage, "Those that play at balls may expect rubbers."—l remain, sir, HENRY WM. POWELL, Commander of the " Candia:, THE WILFUL DAMAGE CASE MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Tuesday Evening. The Cotton Market keeps very dull, but holders not pressing sales, PrieeP., are well maintained. The day's transactions sum up 4,000 bales, includ ing 500 on speettli'liion and for export. The Liverpool Share Market continues inactive, and prices are with difficulty supported. The day's sales consisted of Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire, 701; Caledonian, .371; London and North Western, 1031 1031 ; Manch( trer, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 441, ,441, . 441, 441 Midland 832; North Eastern, 23 ; Dovers, 221, 2?1, 221, 221, 221, 221. 221, 221, 3-18 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 14, 3.16, 141, 1-16, 14, 13k, 15-16, 131 ; Great Western of Canada, 211; Ditto New, p Liverpool Borough Bank, 10 1 , 16.

Six per cent. is ob tained easily, even for the best descriptions of business paper; but, according to some statements, a disposition is shown, on the part of the leading discounting firms, to make a slight concession where the security is of an approved character. In the London Share Market to-day business was flat, and on the whole prices are hardly so high as on 'yesterday. The following were the closing quotations :-Ambergate, Nottingham, and East Junction. 51, 51 ; Caledonian 141, 741; Edinburgh and: Glasgow, 62, 64; Eastern Counties, Ili, 111 ; East Lancahire, 961, 971; Great Northern, 981, 99; Ditto A, 891, 9071 ; Great Western, 641, 641 ; Lan cashire and Yorkshire, 1001, 1001 ; Leeds Northern, 44, 454 ; London and North Western, 103, 1031 ; London and South Western, 1011, 1011 ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 44, 441 ; Midland Stock, 831, 831 ; North British 43, 431 ; South Eastern and Dover, 731, 741 ; York, New castle, and Berwick, 911, 921 ; York and North Midland, 711. The Corn Markets to-day were very steady, but the business done was of a most trifling descrip tion. Prices of Wheat and Flour do not vary much since this day week. Indian Corn is ls, and Egyptian Beans 2s per quarter cheaper. . The Produce Markets are dull. To-day hardly any business was done at the various public auctions. Sugar, Coffee, &c., &a., are quite neglected. The Commercial advices by the West India Mail do not vary much from those of previous mails. The rains at Jamaica had brightened the prospects of a large sugar crop. The markets were generally dull. Rice was in fair demand. Exchange on London 90 days 1 per cent. pm. At Trinidad prices of provisions and Brcadstuffs had not improved, and stocks were still considerable. Produce was scarce, and what remained sold freely. Freights were not so brisk as last mail. Weather was favourable for the planter. The crop at Bar badoes was nearly all in, and the canes had yielded well. There was little to report in Freights. The following are the latest quotations of th e Foreign Exchanges :—Amsterdam, short, 11 17-a -to 11. 18k ; ditto, three months, 12 to 121 ; Rotterdam, do., 12/ to 121 ; Antwerp, do., 25 471 to 25 521; Brussels, do., 25 47 to 25 52-1 ; Hamburg, do., 13 84 to 13 81; Paris, short, 25 2.21 to 25.321; ditto three months, 25 60 to 25 70; Marseilles, do., 25 071 to 25 721 ; Frankfort, do., 1198 to 119 ; Vienna, do , 10 28 to 10 30 ; Trieste, ditto, 10 28 to 10 30 ; St. Petersburg, do., Mil, to 37,-1 ; Madrid, do , 481 to 481 At Paris rumours are circulated that the govern ment contemplates reducing the rate - of interest on Treasury Bonds. The decline which is understood to have taken place, since the date of the last return, in the stock of coin held by the Bank of France is partly explained by the payment of the dividend, which fell due the 22nd inst. on the Three per Cent. Rentes. At Hamburg the rate of discount has risen to 7to 71 per cent. At Paris the rate is 51 per cent ; at Amsterdam, 4 per cent. ; at Frank fort, 3 to 4 per cent.; at Berlin, 5 per cent.; and at Vienna, 5 per cent. At Vienna the exchange on London has receded from 10 9tolo 7. This indi cates a favourable feeling. The letters and commercial advice,s brought by the Overland Mail confirm the impression which prevailed on Saturday, that the exchange at Cal cutta on London was erroneously quoted one penny too low in the telegraphic messages. It will be seen from the subjoined statement of the closing rates for 'first class bills, by the present and previous mails, that the more favourable movement of the Chinese exchanges is fully counteracted, so far as regards the effect upon our market, by the adverse altera tion that has taken place in the Indian markets : Previous Mail.

It is at present computed that the shipments of specie and bullion by the steamer Colombo, on the 4th of July, will not exceed 606,000/. or 700,0001 Despite the disturbances amongst the native soldiery, the government 5 per Cent. loan was being freely subscribed for in India, and stood at - 4 1 ,- prem in the Bombay market. The Quarterly Revenue Returns were made up last night, and although they exhibit the rare feature of a deficiency, they at the same time afford conclusive evidence of the solind and healthy state of trade. The total deficiency is somewhere about 350;000/, and to an exceptional Circumstance, the postponement of the collection of the Hop duty—some 240,0001. is due. The falling off during the quarter, in face of the large reduction in taxation taking place on a state of war is not much over 100,0001. Besides, it should be borne in mind, that the estimated deficiency for the above period was 1,200,0001. Both the customs and excise departments have yielded much larger returns than was calculated upon, The decrease in the Property has not yet fallen off to the extent which the war nine-pence would have led us to expect. Next quarter we may expect a sensible falling off, but this will, no doubt, be compensated for by an in creased revenue arising from the great departments of the Customs and Excise. • As before observed, the net deficiency on the quarter will not exceed 350,000/. The revenue for the year, as may be an ticipated, shows an increase under each head. The Customs portion of this, amounts to 470,0001, the Excise to 150,0001, Stamps and Taxes to 300,0004 and Property Tax to 800,0001, The net increase is about 1,600,000/, and the total revenue collected for the year will amount to 72,000,000/. The return of officers to India will probably tax the resources of the Peninsular and Oriental steamer of the 4th of July, but the demand for berths could not Lave happened at a better period of supply, since the July vessels usually carry out only about a fourth of the ordinary number of passengers, the heat in the Red .Sea deterring all persons from voluntarily taking a passage at this season.. It,appears from the'vague accounts from Delhi that theinSurgents have sacked the Delhi Bank, and obtained 150,0001.- in specie. Most likely, however, a portion of this' sum was plundered from the Public Treasury. The Delhi Bank is a res pectable joint-stock establishment, which was founded about fourteen years ago with a paid-up capital of 180,000 1 . It has agencies in London, Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, and Cawnpore. Its manager was Mr. George Beresford, and the deputy manager and accountant were also Europeans. It is assumed that whatever specie loss the bank may have sustained will be regardedas a claim upon the government. At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Gotch, the bankers, of Kettering, who failed on the 9th inst., it has been resolved that the estate shall be wound up under inspection. It is stated that by this course at least 10s. in the pound will be real ised. The failure appears to have arisen from ad vances having been made without adequate security. According to accounts submitted by Messrs- Harding and Pullein, the accountants, the assets are 82,0031. against liabilities for 132,0261. A meeting of the class A shareholders of the St. Andrew's and Quebec Railway Company was held this day. The chairman moved that the bill entitled " a bill to incorporate the New Brunswick and Canada Railway and Land Company, and for other purposes relating to the said company," be approved. Mr. Bates seconded the motion, which was agreed to by a very large majority: A meeting of the New Brunswick and Canada Land and Railway Company was also held, at which the report was agreed to. TO TAR EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. SIR,,—It may be a wise dispensation of Pro , vidence, that a certain &ass of bipeds ycleped bachelors, have long been marked out.as fit and proper objects of persecution, particularly by the daughters of Eve, who do not take into considera tion the bashful diffidence under which so many of them labour, otherwise they would quickly join the ranks of the happy benedicts. Having long been put down as a non-marrying man, I havC, 'myself, gone through the usual martyrdom of wearing shirts without buttons, un darned stockings, &0., &e., with patience and resignation, and even have not murmured when my landlady has charged me fifty per cent. addi tional for every article I consumed in her establish ment when the cat has eaten tpy cold mutton, — broken my grog bottle, or smolted my cigars, my philosophy has not been disturbed. Ino fact, I had made up my mind to bear my unhappy fate with resignation • but, alas, sir, now and dreadful viols of wrath are now prepared to be poured ot.our devoted heads, and how to protect ourselves against the storm I know not. That the danger is not exaggerated you will eperceive from the following plain statement : On Thursday last I endeavoured to while away an hour in the magistrates' court, when my atten tion was suddenly attracted by a case in which two young gentlemen (Greeks) were summoned for having willfully and maliciously cut and brolten sundry articles in their lodgings , and were con victed in the penalty of 10s and costs. It appears the indictment was under the new Police Act, and that this was the first case tried under its juris diction. As the case proceeded, it appeared that the young men had lodged in the house for several weeks, and a claim for damage to the furniture was not made until after they had given notice to quit and had settled for their lodgings and were leaving the house. All the parties concerned had been previously on good terms, and the landlady stated that, although they had given her notice, she did not think they intended leaving her until a car came for their luggage. Finding, however, her mistake, she, at the last moment, made a claim of 10s for damage to a table cover. This they refused to pay, asserting that the injury had not been in fficted by them ; at the same time offering her 5s as a gratuity. Three days afterwards she called at the counting-house of one of the parties, and de manded the amount of the previous claim, but did notonention that any further damage had been dis covered. In about a week after the defendants had left her house, she,for the first time,stated that seve ral other articles of her furniture had been injured.. No evidence was offered that the defendants had actually committed the damage wilfully or acci dentally, and upon oath they denied having done so,—but although the magistrate's clerk stated that the information was legally defective and could not therefore be sustained, and that no proof of wilful or malicious damage had been brought forward, and therefore they ought not to be convicted upon inferential evidence. To the utter astonishment and dismay of:the writer they were fined the amount previously stated. Now, my dear sir, you will, I hope, see at once the deplorable situation in which all unfortunate devils living in furnished lodgings are placed under this new police act, which appears to have been framed especially for the punishment of our sect. Why, we are a fair mark for all the lodging house-keepers in the country, who in future will find no difficulty in setting their houses re-furnished at our expense. The Compton House, large as that establishment is at present, will have to be quickly enlarged to meet the numerous demands that will pour in for new table-covers, ez.e.&c., and it does not appear to be at all necessary to prove, if the damage had been committed by the last lodger, the servant, or any other present or previous in mate of the house —(and the claim, it appears, can be made at any indefinite time after the party has given up possession)—the householder has only to select his victim, whose oath of innocency will avail him nought. In mercy, Mr. Editor, point out if you can some sanctuary in which for the future we may abide in security from the threatened pains and penal ties ; or confer upon us a greater boon—find us helpmates to protect us from imposition. —I am, Sir, yours, WILL WALTON. I beg to observe that the case was not heard -before Mr. Mansfield. Liverpool, 29th June, 1857. THE MURDER AT STRATFORD —Oa Saturday, Michael Crawley, aged 62 years. was hronelit up again before the magistrates at Ilford, charged with the murder of Mary Crawley, his wife, 64 years of age, ; t the cottage 12 which she resided, at Wells-street, Stratford, on Saturday. week. The culpri!, on being placed at the bar, appeared quite indifferent to the awful position in which he was placed, and, notwithstanding the fact that he has several times confessed the commission of the deed, he put on a most dogged manner, and stoutly denied having ever had anything to do with it. The depositions of the witnesses were read over to the prisoner, and on those of Margaret Willey, his married daughter, he refused to put any ques tions; but she said she knew he had done it, for he was always knocking deceased about, and threatening to do for her. After some of the depositions had been read, Margaret Willey, bursting into tears, exclaimed "Father, why don't you open about it ?" Chairman • Yee must not speak to him. Willey : You can't do any more than speak out after von have killed her. Prisoner . All I know is, I de) not know who murdered her. I left her tying up watereresses when I went out. John Crawley (prisoner's son), addressing the bench, said : Why, he owned to me the other day that he did it. He was then sworn to prove prisoner's having acknowledged committing the deed. Prisoner : I never said anything of the sort. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial. A REMARKABLE CASE OF LONGEVITY WITHOUT THS AID OF FOOD OR N O URISHMENT.—The following particulars have been related to us by Mr. George Cronkhite, of this village, a gentleman of well-auown veracity and candour, who has visited, in his professional capacity of county superintendent of th e p oor, the lady whose remarkable tenacity to life, without the aid of food or any stimulus to support nature, we give to our rea d ers. I t appears that about a year ago the invalid (Mrs. Simeon Hays, residing at Horicon, in this county) was a t tac k ed b y a disease known as epileptic fits, and that one of these paroxysms was of such a violent nature that it lasted eighteen days, and that during the past eleven mon th s not a particle of any kind of nourishment has passed her lips excepting a small quantity of water and apple sauce, administered to her by her husband ; and he is of opinion that even this did not remain in her stomach, as she seem s to have an nneeatrollable aversion to any kind of aliment whatever. Daring the period of her sickness she has shown no signs of intelligence or recognition of her friends, and all the natural functions of her body have ceased their operations. Mr. Cronkhit e ( our i n f orma nt), who conversed with the husband, and gleaned these moat astounding particulars, is of the opinion that she is now felling rapidly, and that but a sho r t ti me w ill i ntervene b e f ore th e san d s of life will run out. In our opinion, it is the molt remarkable case of endurance w ith out food on record, and 110010 more then a passing notice by the medical profession. THE WOOL TR ADE: There is no new feature of moment to notice in the trade since th e date of our last monthly report, and moot descriptions of low foreign Wools have continued in fair request, without much change in prices. The favourable prospects for the harvest, combined with the relaxa tion in the rate of discount by the Bank of England, has tended to create a greater degree of firmness, and on some descriptions holders are now looking for rather higher rates. Good Egyptian, and the finer qualities of furkey, Smyrna Oporto, &c., are in fair request. Stocks continue very light, and the few sales made have been at full prices. East India. particularly the fine true-bred Wools, bath white and yellow, are inquired for; but as the bulk of the late arrivals are hell over for our next public auctions, few sales have been made. Iceland LI in good demand, bat no stocks Good northern Wools would command a ready sale at our full quotation's. Peruvian Merino of good guilty sells readily on arrival at full prices, but the medium and inferior qualities are not so much inquired for.

Tam CAL:Fos/tram PRN.—The everlasting question of "Is this good pen" has been answered by Mr. E. T. Hall, of South John stre t, who has succeeded in croducing a metallic pen, which he designates, not inaptly, as above. There is hardly anything more annoying than a bad pen —every one knows the misery. The pen made by Mr. Hall, Is fit for any hand to use light or heavy), and what is of the greatest value, it does not corrode, but will work with equal facility in any ink. From experience of metallic pens, we can say that this one, which is polished as gold, and will last nearly as loug, is the best one we have ever used,—Northern Times.

THE CNE Tncxc WANTING.—A correspondent writes :—" Now, that we have had the Rivington water for some weeks, and as there seems no chance of getting rid of it, it behoves US to search for the remedy to Improve this water.

Emigrants to the UNITED STATES and C kNADA, by ta'.ing; the Through Tickets of the brand Trunk Railway Company, are conveyed from their port of landing to their destination in less than ONE QUARTER OF THE TIME taken by Steam floats, and at about the same rates of fares. Thus a passenger can reach Chicago from Quebec, a distance of 1,007 miles, in less than 2i days, whereas by water it is nearly double the distance and requires from 12 to 15 days, with five or six changes of Steam Boats, during all of which they are exposed to the arta and machinations of designing persons, whose sole means of living is by their plunder. The Steam Boats, especially when crowded, scarcely afford protection from the weather. Passengers with Through Tickets are allowed the tame amount of luggage, free, aeon board the ship, and it is conveyed from the Ship to the Railway Station without any charge whatever. The Agents of the rand Trunk Company will give Mechanics, Artizans, and Labourers, ou their arrival, the best information in respect to employ rent, the places at which it is to be had, and the rates of wages. Intending Emigrants can have sent to them, free, a Tariff of passenger rates; and all their enquiries with regard to the sailing of both steamers and sailing ships, Scale of Dietary, &c., will be immediately answered on application, either personally or by letter, at the offices of the Grand Trunk Company, 21, Old drael-Areet, London.

NOVEL APPLICATION OF SCIENCE.—We observe that the slated roof of the Ayr Manse has this week been white washed with a solution of lime. Of curse the object is to reflect the solar rays and keep the interior cool—a very necessary though unusual prec;:ution, considering the strong conducting powers of slate with reference to beat. Talking on the subject ; in passing, to a labourer, " whose mind" evidently " proud science ne'er taught to stray," he asserted that " he was a Dutchman" if that would do any gaod—instancing the effect of a neighbouring whitened wgll in warming the air about it.
