LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-YD,TEEDAY 13EFOR11 'MIL J. CROSTIMAITE Cu .roes CASE.—lohann Handrick Lage, the mate of a Prussian ship called the Spadant, was charged by Jacob Niejohn, the captain of the ship, for having deserted the vessel, contrary to the law, &c, Mr. Cobb appeared for the prisoner. The case was rather curious, and lasted some time, the enquiry being rather confused and irregular, but the following will be found to be the facts of the case. Mr. Cobb at' once admitted tire mate had left the ship, but con tended that he had a right to do so. He said there was a vlause in the Prussian taw of ships articles which enacted 'that, if the captain vas convicted of any offence, or im prisoned for such, the articles were void, and the offio crew were not holm' to remain with him.

Crosthwaite, at the Police-court, sixteen sailors were brought up by officers iCI - 1 , 1, • • Igo an rom on American shi Mail Austin, now in the river, bound for New York, with passengers. The charge against,the men was mutiny, and refusing to proceed to sea. Mr. Wilding, the American Consul, was present to watch the case. Mr. Cobb appeared for the'prisoiers. The officers said the men refuserto go in the ship, of which the Messrs. Grimshaw are the agents, on the ground that the mate had ill-treated them, and that the coffee and provisions were bad. Mr. Cobb asked the officers if there was any one now to,,prosecute, and the reply was in the negative. His Worship said, in that case, be must discharge the men. The parties charging were then called, but not answering, Mr. Cobb claimed their discharge, and .they were then set at liberty. [it appears that there are great complaints of the conduct of American sailors in the above respect, as they are not liable to be dealt with by English law as no treaty exists.between this country and the States of America on the subject. There is great loss suffered also by the consignees, .who, in such cases, are obliged to procure other exews. .Great inconvenience is experienced by the delay to the ships, and the persons who cash their advance notes lose their money.] LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT -YESTERDAY BEFORE MU. COMMISSIONER PEIZ,PY In re WILLIANI MANNION.—This bankrupt, who was a currier and leather dealer, in Liverpool, came up yesterday for judgment, on his application for certificate. His Honour delivered his judgment as follows :—As to this case of •William Mannion, the state of the accounts kept by the bankrupt was sadu as to render it impossible for the official assignee to trace them satisfactorily. As an instance only, I may mention that in the report of that officer, which has been referred to by Mr. Tyrer (who appeared on behalf of the assignees), it, appears that, although the receipts in Mr. Griffin's receipt book amount to £5,393 Ios. 3d., the total amount stated in the bankrupt's day books to have been received from Mr. Griffin, who is a brother-in-law .of the bankrupt, appears to be only £2,261 125., so there is a difference of £3,031 18s. 3d., which has to -be supplied from the books of this one debtor to the bankrupt. Again, the accounts of James Mannion and Edward Ilannion, cousins of the bankrupt, who were for a . considerable time in his employ, and Robert Lawson, were not entered in the ledger until about the end of December, ,1858, shortly before a meeting of creditors was called ; and that of Griffin, though part of it was entered in October, was in other parts, particularly as to th e marr i age portion of £2OO, credited to Griffin, in consequence of an alleged promise, said to be evidenced by an I 0 U, which is not produced, entered of the date of 7th October, 1858, an d then, in order to give support to the correctness of that entry, a receipt, very unusual in such cases, is given to Griffin for his I OIT as of the date of the ;7th • October, though the bankrupt admits in his exami nation that neither the entry in his ledger, nor the receipt, both of which are in the bankrnpt's hand writing, was written un til th e mont h o f D ecem b er. The state of the accounts, leaving much of information to be furnished by the debtors, tends rather to establish what was contended for by Mr. Tyrer, that the shops, including that one in Mill-st eet, allegeal to have been purchased by Edward Maunion, on the 24th of. December last, remained the property of the bankrupt, but upon that I pronounce no positive opinion. Looking, however, at the accounts them selves, as posted in the ledger, which states gross sums only, and a sum of '4,015 for goods supplied at various dates in oGriffin's account, and a sum of 12;052 for goods supplied in Edward Mannion's account, it is =very difficult to regard -them as honest and faithful records ,of William Mannion's business transactions. This being the state of facts, can :this case be regarded merely as an instance of bad book 3,,i,erePing on the .part of the bankrupt, as contended by 'Mr. Yates, and therefore to be visited with a short period of suspension only ? I am of opinion that it ,cannot be so regarded, particularly when the false entry of the 7th October is takan into account. The reason for that entry of that precise date has never been given, but the Actual entry took place very shortly before a *fleeting of the bankrupt's creditors. The attempt to corroborate the entry by the bankrupt giving a receipt to Griffin for his alleged 0 U . has certainly not improved the bankrupt's position. I think, therefore, that tie allowance of the certificate should he suspended for twelve calendar months, and that the , antrupt should be without protection for half that period. The certificate, looking at the very bad manner in which the accounts have been kept, must be of the third 41a3i , A SELF-MADE MAN.—William Henry Adams, Esq of B oston, in this county, the new Attorney-General for e colony of long-Kong, has ascended th e soc i a l scale to his present position thus : compositor, reader, reporter, sub editor, editor and newspaper proprietor, barrister, member of Parliament, and colonial attorney-general.

RICHARD DOYLE AND MR CIIURCHWARDEN JONES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIM M. Sit,—As you have given publication to the pro ceedittgs in which I have noticed Mr. Jones's attack upon me, I shall feel obliged if you will publish this reply to him.—Yours, &c., Riau= DOYLE. TO MR. WILLIAM CHU RCHWARDEN JONES kt the meeting of the Select Vestry, yester day, all the newspapers agive in the report of your speech, and I must take it for' granted that you have made the follo wing charges against me : First, that I am in. the habit of 'bringing charges before the committee against themselves —of " motives, not facts." Secontfiy, that I have accused the committee set' outraging the rights of the children. Thirdly, -that I have accused the committee of dermoralising.theliltildren. Nov, I do not thinklgere ave many persons who read the daily papers so obtuse of mind as not to see that in Tay letters there arc no grounds whatever to bring such.charges against me. (I admit these letters have been untouched, except as regards the italicising.) With yon, 4owever, It appears :to me, to be different to the rest of mankind, turd that your intellects require an annual sharpening, I, therefore, beg your attention to the above compendium of your speech, and, recollect, it is quite personal, for it is entirely your own. With regard to ti.e first point, I have made no chargz , , against the committee, nor against the motives of any man. T stated two facts : one, that children, named White, had been registered on the books of the workhouse as Roman Catholics while their mother was there, but when they had lout her they had been registered as come ba the cas€ Reverse it, another is no parallel to it, which is also the case. The second fact I stated was, that there is a girl in the schools who made a statement, which is corroborated by her aunt. That is a fact on two legs, and which cannot he denied. So much for your first charge. Your second charge against me is likewise un grounded. I have not complained that the commit tee outraged the rights of the children ; but I said these children had a right to be classed as Roman Catholics, and that it was an outrage upon their rights not to have them so classed. I am of the ill, and I applied to the committee not to make charges, but to put it out of the power of any one individual to change the religious denomination of one or more children without an investigation on the part of the committee opinion st Some one of your former committees said there was too much power in this respect in the hands of the Governor of the workhouse. I agreed with him at that time, and I agree with him still. In the third place, I beg to state, more fully to you than I have done to the committee, that it is quite true that there has been as many as eight or nine girls, who had -been brought up in the schools, at the same time, in the borough gaol— that there are at present some of them there - that I know one of them who has been in it six times since she left the schools, and that she has stated to me, on this very day, that there are thirteen or fourteen of them in the streets of this town. Now, I have not accused you, much less the committee, of that demoralisation. God forbid I could be capable of it. Were I capable of such. a shocking and horrid insinuation, you might justly charge me with acting in an unchristian and ungentlemanly spirit ; and I should feel ashamed of myself, and at once make any apology and reparation that would be in my power. I appeal to the letters which were published in yesterday's newspapers, to say, whether I am open to such an insinuation. I have known that these things are going on by those who have been brought up at the schools, and I have tried to remedy it without even mentioning it. I have, so long since as three years, asked for a school-mistress and Roman Catholic pupil teachers. It was then said, by some person common in sympathy with vou, that the Roman Catholic ch;ldren had all tha't was required, but, with much a-do, a resolution was passed, that two Roman Catholic boys and two Roman Catholic girls should be appointed as pupil teachers. Strange to think that, out of about two hundred girls, for three years, one girl cannot be qualified for the appointment of a pupil teacher. Now - , with such facts—for these are facts, and not motives--before you, do you really blame me for requesting some assistance —not for making charges ? Look me full in the face and repeat now your calumnies against me. Not the old ones, but these fresh ones you have brought against me. You are not the man you think yourself. You cannot, for shame, and I hope you will not, have recourse to your old dodge of slinking . currishly behind the committee, for, I repeat, it is purely personal. I think, having been at issue with you so frequently, and you having found yourself always in the wrong, it ought to induce you to refrain from saying anything at all about me. One word more : You boast of the courtesy of the committee to one. Will you kindly inform me, was it with your good-will, or against it, the committee paid me that courtesy in admitting me to "take a part in their investigation ? " Haveyou not insulted me for offering a remark while present at one of these investigations, which makes me decline your courtesy ever since ? Leaving the public—to whom you have, against my will, introduced me, but, indedendently of whom, I feel bound to act solely on my own responsibility, rendering account to no earthly, but to a Supreme Master, and seeking from Him, and from Him alone, direction and government in my dealings with those committed to my care, and with those who are more or less responsible in their regard —to decide between you and me,—l beg to subscribe myself, very humbly, RICH?

ECONOMY IN FUEL IN MARINE STEAMING.---The screw steamer Thetis, fitted with Rowan and Co.'s patent, sailed from Greenock on Saturday night, with 500 tons cargo on board, and made the passage to this port in 221 hours, and burning only three to ns o f f ue l . Th e ord i nary rate of con sumption of fuel in a vessel of this size in the same time would be about 20 tons. The Thetis is fitted with engines of the nominal power of 100 horses ; gross tonnage, 580, and register tl80; length 192 feet, breadth 26 feet 6 inches, depth 15 feet 9 inches ; capable of carrying 25 days' coals and 650 tons cargo. Practical men acknowledge that the above consumption of fuel is astounding, and less than one fourth of that on board steamers with the ordinary engines. The following is a description of the machinery :---The boiler, which is divided into several compartments by stacks of vertical tubes, is worked with fresh water returned con tinuously from the condenser, and the economy is obtained principally by the means of very slow combustion of the fuel, as in the Cornish boiler, and by carrying expansion to a very considerable extent. To enable this to be done there are on each engine three cylinders, the pistons of which are connected by a cross-head, and move simul ,taneously. The centre cylinder, which is comparatively small, receives the steam direct from the boilor, on the upper side of the pi s t on , Af ter propell i ng the piston 'downwards, the steam is permitted to pule to the opposite side of the two large pistons, which are acted on solely by the expanding steam, and have no direct communication with the boiler. the object of having three cylinders is to obain equality of pressure and simplicity of arrangement, the general features of which are little different from an ordinary mercantile screw engine to those of the common inverted cylinder engine. The surface condenser is used mainly for the sake of obtaning pure distilled water for the boiler, as it would not be safe to work with so high pressed steam and salt water ; indeed, if salt water were used, the incrustation would soon put a stop to further proceedings. The boiler has been certified to be safer with 1201bs pressure than nine -tenths of ;the common marine boilers with 151bs, and is not at all liable to get out of order. The crew required for the engine -room is the same, as regards engineers, compared w ith an or di nar y eng in e; b u t for a steamer of 100 to 150 horse-power only one-fireman would ' be required for each watch, so that under this head there is ,a very considerable saving, apart front Palo, A. le' per wa3 re; d frora Me; r a for the 'exclusive use of a wi nese leviers IN kr ( A leßer from th .cretary to ti 1;101, ti .0e maintenance of the sernanhoie neon the Voryd station ; was likewise mimed to the marir DRINITUZG FOUTAYN3 The folio s:Tt• leAe - r - vrds read o: Ole T to dock ou?y3 N TII3 DO:LC w:Ze: wf:ch 2.ev3Y.; of 'w wol . .'d be a g?eet bJon. 1 E.a:7_e !on7„si.le ocl:s ani e, it. sey Dock 3 Fraibot !snecAlly yours S TO - - - Mr. Brock l ebank said, some time hack, he brought the question before the warehouse comrniitee. Mr. Hartley was instructed then to have fountains prepared for the purpose. Subsequently communication had taken place with Mr. Lockett as to the places where the docks and quays' committee would think it proper to have the foun trins fixed. In a short time all the docks, or a great part of them, would be so supplied. (Hear, hear.) • The letter was referred to the works' committee A letter was read from Mrs. Anne Maria Leyland, of High Seacombe, asking the board to construct a new liver wall in front of her property, that at present existing being much delapidate d. The board declined to entertain the application. A letter was read from the committee of the . Wallassey Dispensary applying for a subscription in aid of the funds of that institution. The application was referred to the c , iance committee APPLICATION OF ELECTRICITY TO THE CLOCK ON THE VICTORIA TOWER Mr. Bold moved, according to notice, " that the plan for applying electricity to the clock on the Victoria Tower in connection with the time-ball, as recommended by Mr. Harteup, he at once adopted. Mr. Bold went .t considerable length into the question, which has already been several times discussed by the board. He showed that the adaptation of the system to the clock would not only of itself possess great advantages over its application merely to the time-ball, but that the connection of the clock thus arranged with the time-hall would secure for the latter a certainty which could not otherwise be calculated upon. The additional yearly cost to the-board, taking into consi deration the fact, that if the motion were not adopted, a " normal clock " would have to be purchased, lie estimated, only at £2 ss. igr. Anderson seconded the motion. A lengthened conversation took place, during which the chairman and Mr. Mondell explained that when, on former occasions, they opposed the proposition, they were led to understand that the additional cost would be much greater. The chairman also stated that he was not .aware that the fact of the ball being regulated without , reference to the clock would render the falling of the former less certain and reliable. The motion was adopted without a division. motion, of which Mr. M'lver had given notice, regard oirement of certain detailed manifests from ing the rec consignees, charterers, brokers. de., was postponed, at the request of Mr. North, dock soliettor, to Thursday , week. This concluded the general business.

FRIDAI, MAY 20, 1859 MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Thursday Evening. The Liverpool Cotton Market has been rather more active to-day, and the business done amounts to 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 have been taken for speculation and export. The supply offering is very large, and hence prices continue to droop, and must now be quoted at from an eighth to a farthing per pound lower than on Friday last. Scarcely any business has been done in the Liverpool Share Market to-day, and prices are altogether nominal. Sales were made in London and North Western, 861, 86 • South Eastern, 181, 18.4, 181, 18 7-16 ; Grand irunk of Canada, 7-1.

The average price of Wheat in England has ad vanced ll s 5d per quarter since April 9, and in the week ending May 17 the advance amounted to i ls 7d. The London Wool Sales have been fairly attended to-day, and there was rather more spirit in the biddings. Compared with previous quotations, how ever, no actual change has taken place in value. The Liverpool Sales were resumed to-day. Messrs. of East Browne Hunter and Co. offered 1,800 bales lndia, all of which found buyers at full rates. Upon the whole, the prices obtained were probably a shade higher than on any day during the present series, and which may be ascribed more to the qua lities offered than to any advance in the price of Wools generally. The same firm sold also 41 bales Smyrna Wool, at 101 d. Some Alpaca were with drawn. A small lot, 22 ballots, 18d. per lb. only being offered. To-morrow will close the present series with 719 bales of Messrs. T. and H. Littledale and Co., and 2,502 bales of Messrs. Hughes and Ronald, making in all, 21,076 bales. The steamer Ripon, with mails for Calcutta and China, will take, to-morrow, 358,441/. in specie, all silver, except 13,906/. in gold. The particulars are as follows : —For Calcutta, 326,033/. ; for. Hong Kong, 13,640/. ; for Madras. 13,418/. ; for Shanghae, 3,200/. ; and for Alexandria, 2,1501. The arrival of 259,0001. in specie is announced this morning, the City of Washington, from New York, having brought 138,0001., and the Magdalena, from the West Indies, 121,0001. The rates of discount still show a downward tendency. Little business was done yesterday at the Bank, and in the open market first-class bills, having 60 days to run, were readily taken at 4 to 4 per cent. In transactions amongst the dealers, 31 per cent. has been accepted. Owing to the superabundant supply of money; which is far in excess of the immediate demand, Messrs. Overend, Gurney and Co., and Alexander and Co., have notified a fresh reduction of 1, per cent. in the rates allowed for loans. The terms are now fixed at 31 per cent. for money at call, and 31 per cert. subject to a week's notice. At Hamburg, the rate of discount has fallen to 3 to 31 per cent. At Amsterdam, the Bank rate is still 3 per cent. The Amsterdant Bourse opened yesterday morning at a fall of 3 per cent. iu Austrian, and 11 per cent. in Dutch Stocks; but at the elose, a rally of 2 per cent. had taken place in the former, and of y per cent. in the latter. It appears that the proportion of the French Loan of 20,800,0001., taken by subscribers for 10f of annual Rente is 3,200,0001., and that the total sum actually deposited, by way of guarantee, in the coffers of the State, amounts to no less than 9,200,0001. Subscribers for 10f. of Rente will receive the whole amount applied for, whilst to the general body of applicants the allotment will be limited to less than one-fifth. The greater portion of the 172,6001. in gold, by the Jura, from New York, was yesterday taken for the Continent, as well as the 43,5001 by the Conflict, from Melbourne. No bullion was withdrawn from the Bank. The English Funds have declined H to +, per cent. to-day, but principally owing to the stagnation of business ; the rates of discount still show a downward tendency, in transactions amongst the dealers, 31 per cent. has beet?. accepted. No bullion was drawn from the Bank to-day. £210,000 of Australian and American gold was taken for the Continent. The steamer Ripon will take oat £344,000 in silver, chiefly for Calcutta.—Daily News City Article, Wednesday Evening. The English Fulids opened tb is morning at a fractional improvement, but the market closed at a decline of I-. The principal London discount houses have to-day made a reduction of / per cent. in their rates of allowance for money to call and on deposit. The mercantile letters from Germany state that business of all kinds continues in suspense, owing to the general political excitement. Large amounts of gold and silver have lately been sent from France to Frankfort, in return for French and other securities transmitted to Paris for sale ; and hoarding, it is said, is being practised to a considerable extent.—Times City Article, Wednesday Evening. The Daily News says that on Wednesday, jute, a decline of 20s per ton was submitted to. The Great Northern Railway traffic return, this week, shows an increase of £3,611 at the sales of TRADE IN THE IRON DISTRICTS ---- The depression ender which the iron trade is suffering has hastened the suspension of one of the most respected firms in the district ; we refer to Messrs. Cresswell and Sons, of Tipton, whose stoppage took place on Saturday last. It was known in 1855 that the firm was largely indebted to the Dudley and West Bromwich Bank, and the stoppage at that time was regarded as imminent; since that period trade has not been sufficiently good to enable them to recover a good position. They had been dependent of late very much upon orders from Messrs. Stitt, iron merchants, of Liverpool, and reliance was placed upon a continuity of these to meet their bills ; a short time since, however, a communication was received from that firm to the effect that in the prese.ut state of trade they did not deem it prudent to take so large zi quantity of iron ; and Messrs. Cresswell, who have struggled manfully against adverse circumstances, had no alternative but to succumb, after communicating the state of their affairs to the Dudley Bank, who, in addition to being large creditors, are also proprietors by purchase, thne or four years since, of the works ; and on Saturday the stoppage took place as stato s i above. It appears that there is two years and a quarter's relit owing. which amounts to $075. The bank, in anticiplition of a movement, we believe, by a judgment creditor. by 7vhich a preference might be obtained, felt compelled to put :n en execution; &lid on Wednesday morning a sale of the stock .qn tin Vorkh, consisting of many hundred tons of pig iron, ironstone, &c., was aelvertised to take place this day (Friday): Ameeting ofthe creditors took place on Wednesday, Mr. G. F. Bowen, of the North Staffordshire Mining Company, in the chair, and about fifty other creditors were present. A long discus sion ensued, and in the course of it some strong observations were made in reference to the hank directors for having laid their hands on everything. Ultimately there appeared to be an understanding that the bank would be induced to stop the sale, some arrangement being made by which their interest under the execution is not imperilled ; and a reso lution was carried, to the effect that the works be carried on under inspection, with the view to the payment of a divi dend of 5s in the pound by instalments of 2s 6d each, at twelve and twenty-four months, or in case of default the property to be realised. By a subsequent resolution the interest of the creditors, to the extent of another 5s in the pound upon the Rhos Hall estate, was defined as proposed by Mr. Knight; and Captain Bennitt and Mr. R. William son, of North Staffordshire, were appointed inspectors to act for the creditors ; the Dudley and West Bromwich Banking Company to name a third inspector. Mr. E. Cresswell was present, and although the bank was much censured, great sympathy was expressed for his positiun.
