• FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) SdOtday . , j)cc. A letter in the Sil:cle from a correspondent at Turin, dated the 27th ult.:, makes some reference to the retired life which Garibaldi is at present `leading on his property at Caprera. "There is little news," says the writer; "from -Caprera. Garibaldi is living a retired life; arid sees ho &Verdi of his adttirel•S and fried& dtOenod had formed the project of visiting / him in his isldnd. Having, however, pounded; the ex-llietatoiun the -7, .1 fptbieet before setting off; thek were infern3.ed by him that he desired on no account to be diSturbed in his retreat; and .that if there was one thing more- than another that ho- dreaded, it was the organisation of pleasure excursion for Caprera." The same correspondent also gives the follow ing pa4icUlars respecting some recent proceedings of the nat. Povermitent at istapieB 3 , and as to the • donvddatiiiii and eonStitittidti of tile new Pai:liartient : 7 - , - , . . . . . I received from.:Naples:Some details respecting the occupation of the Fort .of. St.,Elmo ,by the t i roops of the line,- a eireumskance which had rather, an awkward look. It appears that the step . Was taken in consecluenee,of tristirderstandlig of tiiiirePiesentation — of an order from the Go-remittent. .'lie sooner, however, was the King - infoinced 'of the fact, than he immediately ;ordered the fort to be reoccupied by the National Guard, and M. Tarini spontaneously wrote, to, the commandant of that force to express his regret at the oecurreioe,.and to explain to'him the' misunderstanding I have - referred to. As 'for the demolition of this fort, it appears thht there is now no longer any intthltion of earryiri&,it out. . I learn to-day,. from an firideiibtek tieuilieV that the Parliament will not be specially epniolied' With a 'Hew to dissolution, as was commonly reported,. The diSsolii lion: will he accomplished through the =dim , of a !leereo whieli ha& already - been signed by die' Prince do Cirigrian, It is thought that the number :of the .pettaters .will be increased by about fifty members. These-new senators are to be appointed on the recom mendation, of the general commissioners and the coun cillors of :'lieutenancy. It is believed that of these nominations ten will be granted to the provinces of the Marches and Umbria, , alike number to Sicily:, and the 'ret . nainder will be selected from among the Neapo litan : • The latest despatches received from Gaeta announce that a vigorous sortie was made by the besieged on the 24th, on -the left of the attack,. ,with the object of harassing the sappers and destroying the works, and that it •i-as rbet with corresponding vigour tY,tlie I. 3 iedriiontese. Atter a smart fire; iiiid equiii loss on both ildes; the . • , besieged re-entered the , tort. it -is mentioned that the Neapolitan troops exhibited great tena-• city, and it was expected- that, several additional sorties would be made by the defenders;'Nv4h the view 01 . prolonging the.siege a c s much as possible. According tou telegram received here last night; t'ron Naples, dated the 9.9 th; thig eipettation has iu one instance, atnll events, been realised. The garrison on that day made a sortie, in order to obtain possession -of some positions in the suburbs, but it was repulsed with great loss. • Surely the' interests of humanity suggest the immediate adoption of some means of terminating such a useless effusion of -blood, caused by the prolongation of this siege. _ _ . It will be seen by the following extract from the Glasgow correspondent of the llinniteur, that the Empress contemplated a visit to Liverpool before her return Her Majesty, the Empress of the French, arrived here (Glasgow) yesterday evening: After having spent the greater part of the forenoon in visiting the principal plices of interest in Glasgow, she left for Hamilton Palace, where she williemam for some hours only. She reckons upon arriving this evening at Ballo* on the hanks of Loch t i oMo, apd tioni thane() she, is to go . to tirling; ad afterVfards to LiVerpool. After having been welcomed with every suitable demonstration of respect in the north of Scotland, her Majesty, on her return to Glasgow, received the congratulations of • the ToWn Council, and was so good as to reply in English to the address which was presented to her by the Lord Provost. Her visit, notwithstanding its' brevity, is an event which will long be remembered in that city. It is quite evident that the Emperor and hir, government are mightily pleased, and justly so, with the universally cordial welcome which has been accorded to the presence of the Empress in Great Britain. ' I find the following financial information on the subject of the proposed Turkish loan in the columns of the Debats, whidh t take for granted, looking especially to dne of the names mentioned in connection with it, is not wholly Without in tereSt to the peoPle of Liverpool The,Tarkiih loan i$ dngaging II great deal of atten tion. A eiredrtistanee deserving of being noticed is, that the Tiirkt are now decidedly alive to the necessity of attend-• -ing to the state of their affairs. FM' example, it is understood that the Bank of Turkey is preparing . to give great support to the loan contracted by the Otto man government. Already, under a treaty with the government, it offers to withdraw the paper money, and it publishes to-day the names of the directors in Con stantinople and London. Now, these names are a guarantee id themselves. Thus, the directors at Con stantinople are—VM. Alleon, lialt,uti ' A. Stephano tvithi AfaVrocordato, Baia, Trieohe, Hansom, Black, Alaverdi, G. Rubini, B. Rubini, Bidrosago. The tendon directors are Messrs. Russell Ellice, Gladstone, H. Gordon, and Rodocanachi. Let me Conclude with the following, account of a novel and about the most scandalously impudent form of robbery that I have ever heard of : The day before yesterday, about eleven o'clock at night, a respectable young woman was passing along the Rue de Larochefocauld, when an indi vidual advanced rapidly towards her and pulled off her shoulder the shawl in that she wore, exclai ing at the same , time in a loud voice, "'What business have you with shawls after behaving in such a scandalous manner to your husband." Attracted by the noise, several :passers-by drew near. "GO away with you, you wretched -creature," continued the fellow ; " I don't wish to make a disturbance in the public streets, but never let me . see you put your feet in my house again." And upon this he went off, carrying the shaWl with. him; assuming, at the same time, so much the air of an ill-used man, that the spectators, fancying that • some ordinary scene conjugal was going on before them, considered it was no busiuess of theirs to .. interfere. Some p•Olieemen, howev". ^oming we young woman - Nv sham,: ,tau indignation, implored their protection with a • flood of tears, declaring she knew nothing what ever of the man, and had never seen him before. The police accordingly set off in pursuit of the pretended husband, who had taken to „his heels they soon overtook him, and when they were about to seize him, he made' a determined resist ance, an accomplice, who was a short distance off, coming to his assistance, but both of them . were arrested. v It was soon ascertained that they knew nothing, whatever of the woman, and that their sole' object was to plunder her of her shawl. Upon which the rascals were sent to the Prefecture. The transactions at the Bourse yesterday, , showed a good deal of activity, without however, justifying the considerable, variations which were exhibited in prices. The market- for Rentes ultimately closed with much firmness, at 70f. 35c., and the Four and a-halfs at 96f. 50c. THE Loss OP THE MAGGIE WALK-mi.—The investi gation into the loss of this vessel was resumed on Satur day. Mr. Kreim and Mr. Alexander were examined at some length by Mr. Hull. At the request of the court, we refrain from publishing this evidence until that of the chief mate has been given. The inquiry will be resumed to-day at half-past one o'clock. NORTHERN HOSPITAL—The following eases were reported here last * night : — Thoma s Lycatt , 7' years of age; of 5.1, Thomas-street, fell down and broke, his arm, while playing with some ether hoys.—MarY Ashley, 14, years old, of 4s, Greenland-street, injured her knee by falling down.—John O'Rourke, 9 years old, of 18, Regent-street, fell down and sprained his ancle.— Patrick Murphy, 40 years old, a coal heaver, living in Carlton-street, was stabbed in the arm with a boat-hook, at the Duke of Cambridge public-house, near Clarence Dock. —Margaret Welch , 22 years of age, of 22, Vaux hall-road, sprained her knee by falling through a floor. The above occurred on Saturday. Yesterday,—Arthur Hunter, 14 years, old, of Porter-street, broke his leg by falling from a piece of timber in Woolton-street.—Mar garet Rogan, 57 years of age, of 94, Prince Edwin street, broke her,arm by falling from a window.—Lewis Winkloll, 25 years old, and John Smith, 32 years Old, sailors from New Orleans by the ship Bellwood, were severely injured in the hands and legs, by a math named , Green. An order has been issued for the apprehension of,the mate. STOWELL BROWN'S LECTURES TO THE WORKING CLASSES.—The Rev. Hugh Stowell Brown delivered in the Concert Hall, yesterday, the first of a series of lec tures to the working classes. As is usually the case upon these oecasions,•the . hall was crowded in every part by a respectable audience, chiefly composed of the working classes. Contrary to the custom which the lecturer has followed upon preceding occasions, the meeting was opened with prayer, after which a portion of. Scripture (selected from the Psalms), was read, and then the lecture. This deviation was explained by the lecturer before opening the meeting. He did not by any means regret the course he had followed on former occa sions ; but he thought that the working men were now_ fit: for Something higher and more spiritual. , The lec ture was upon " The Third Commandinent," and the lecturer discoursed with that happiness of expression and felicity of illustration, for which he is so remarkable, .upon the proper meaning of the commandment, and the, ways in which it is so frequently violated in every-day life. At the close of the lecture, a hymn was sung, and the proceedings terminated. The majority of the meet- . ing, so far as we could judge, appeared to rejoice rather than regret, the change in the conduct of the service ; and there can be but little doubt that the respectable working men, who form the chief poition of the audience at these Sunday afternoon lectures, will be as, susceptible of spiritual as of moral impressions, ces and cording ire not i other. he laws in their lan race to Tole ect, and se lam detail varying rontries• Britain' ature) -- l f leficienti than by , en neconnt may feet,, erse 111 wrioritY, iale and the small i? where ed by, or thousanc! s cry al ia a reintiri go fifiC r rri to the vided-for row, it i 5 Araericsi he globe' vhere our lets, ha s.° for they y certalli will not proceed, ►re, is th e aderstooti nown urnished' )t or wil l ,TO, 3ut how' ;he whole ,erplexiti rgue that rnedy V f matter' instinct mand tie intere6ts _ e comfort nitive ut le r enieg Wile attention' all: and in 111/ entitled rormati°" !nen 101° entran ce celibaci. •eaders writte o view 'll found ill ic spher e ;tic &tie' r the put' into to' d _ nigh . ve Ling no doubt' AlTurci" ENO goys' C tle* 3sajor e nooll : le Ea r i York e ' r Joho George We ek ts 41; irg ea : ie QUIP in the c an d a, M r ' house, diYar" +~ ~L LATEST N E WS.

Itoumans and Ser vians demand re-annexation to this glorious old: Kingdom, which, as head of a Danubian confede ration, may yet dictate terms to Vienna. The, danger which threatens the House of Hapsburg: . in this quarter, will clearly necessitate the diver sion of large bodies of troops from Venetia to the Moldo-Wallachian frontier.

TXPORT OF GOLD t.O THE UNITED STATES: The Daily News says the number of soteteigns with drawn front the Bank yesterday fdr shipment to the United States was about 70,00 d. It Is mitOtipated that„ an additional sum, estimated at ab o ut £260,000, will be taken out next week. The Times. says the advices yesterday, from New York, of the extension of the political panic, have led the London correspondents of various firms in that city to make shipments of Sovereigns and gold bars by the Eurepa, which sails to-day from Liverpool for Boston, and the Atlantic, which is to leave Southampton DR Wednesday direct for New York, will probably also take alurther sum. The amount withdrawn yesterday morning from the Bank in London Was about £70,000, and it is not unlikely that a larger total will hate been taken from the Liverpool branoli. In addition £30,000 of bar gold' ha,s also been' doPatbliedi The main object of the shippers of these parcels seems to be to furnish their friends with the means of advantageously meeting all contingencies, as discount was not to be .ebtained under 1.1, per cent. per month , and foreign bills of exchange were unsaleable. • , The Herald remarks that if the next advices from New .York fail.to exhibit a, sensible recovery, the drain will set in on an enlarged scale. The risk, howeter, Will be considerable in case a sudden reactidn shad ocean The queen went•to Aldershot yesterday, and reviewed the division. The ancient custom was observed at Eton College yesterday, of the, highest Scotch nobleman in the school, the Marquis of Lon, presenting the badge of St. Andrew to the head master, who entertained all the pupils at a breakfast. THE MONEY MARKET. (From the °Wryer.) Whilst the uncertain impressittil created by the state of afrairs in. America lasts, it will be impossible to predict the intimate course of the Money Market. So much will depend, in reality, upon the contents of the advices periodically received from the United States, that the settled appearance of things cannot be much calculated in taken shaupon, : It is evident, from the efflux that has already place enpeof b fromars and the sovereigns, os t , ha l t vill g . ol b d e , both despatched; but it is problematical :Whether, when it arrives out, - it will yield the profit Which the present quotation of exchange eithibits. In the midst of the a citement occasioned by this fresh revulsion in monetary prospects the feeling arises, Whether it will not be essential to exercise increased caution; particularly as it is not altogether clear that the Bank of France has yet obtained 'the whole of the bullion required;" and it re mains to be seen whether the suspense produced by the stringency in the Nevi York Money Market may not be attended with more serious inconvenience than is at present estimated. The American diSturbance in the Money. Market follewing so closely tip >n the French financial crisis is yet to be viewed with. much appre hension, because the conjunctive circumstances of the change, together with the effect that may ensue from the. intelligence of the higher ,ratee from this side, is not unlikely to aggravate the pressure and stimulate greater confusion in the principal Atlantic . cities than that WhiCh already exists. The retrogression in the various classes of American securities illustrate the force of- the panic.movement, foesuoh it may be. appropriately termed, seeing that since the worst phases of'the reac 7 tion of 1857 there has not been so violent a fluctuation as that now witnessed.. Over-trading and monetary Corruption then produced the seeds of _disaster which so fearfully overwhelmed the whole of the "United States ; trt myna. been the result, of a ,political pon,valsion which may , uirtAt, L.O entail even more disagreeable consequences than those which were previously :notieeable. Although ' the g urFi e nnr r hag i ninnm:ggsen,eiytdthi proceed, rboioesy s e. s a e f ntae e hdot t e y : majority are inclined to believe that without endan t tios of etsniiiesb Union neverth eless time, ni on 'the ai. course when elrltse that, o t the e conten tion moneybcur markets of London and Paris have been comparatively impossible operations o the of e e t u h m e u ll ia a ti nt o o f f difficulty some ; oerol people I n the me may principal a terminate sui.)p o s fi inn n ia a ay n c lbe i a es lcentres s thp ele acasas of h case. Business m t an e o ne l r d and thaithan already suffering from the prostration, and the good effect that it was anticipated to accrue from the more gratifying position of the Bank of England, which has enabled it to make' a considerable Modification in its rate of accommodation, connot now much be relied upon, as the public look to the advises from the. United States as likely for the next few months - to regulate the position of trading and financial concerns. The' operation of the DiSconnts Market have been in a great degreee affected by the expectation that the Bank directors would reduce the rate of discount to 5 per cent., and, therefore, in the early part of the week the brokers and, others delayed busines s as muc h as t h e y possibly could, until the decision of the court was announced. It was generally expected, notwithstanding, the adverse position of the American exchanges, that the Bank would be in a situation to place the minimum at a reduction of one per cent., for, although it was thought that the fall in the rate in New York would promote shipments of gold at a profit, still it was believed that the specie reserves o f the Bank were increasing, that notes, which' had bee n ' w ithdra w n, were return ing.arid" This has since proved to be the case, and even the abstraction of sovereigns to send across the Atlantic has not interfered with the general easiness of the Money Market. It may have induced a slightly better demand • for accommodation, but this is all, and the terms current for choice descriptions of paper are now' per cent. below the official minimum. The delibera tions of the directors on Thursday were not of a lengthened duration, and immediately on the separa tion of the court it was intimated that the rate had been reduced from the point at which it stood, viz., 6 per cent. on the 15th of November, to 5 per cent., the existing price. A check to any alteration may for the present be interposed by the unsatisfactory turn of the - American advices, but those most interested in the question are not inclined to believe that it will be permanent, and think that the disturbances existing will eventually calm down. It must nevertheless. be fully recognised that the private letters speak of the extent of uneasiness which prevails in consequence of the condi tion of affairs in the Southern States • and it is said that ,New York bankers themselves are' alarmed at the pros pects of the latter months of the year, especially as the internal exchanges have already been placed in an excep tional situation. The draft of gold from north to south may, it is alleged, be carried beyond . due bounds, and despite the h eavy . arr i va l s whiCh are periodically:received from California, the spprehension is that excessive stringency will be sustained, which will hereafter exer cise Considerable weight. GEORGE STEPHENSON AT Oxronii—A statue of the late George Stephenson is . about to be erected in the Oxford Museum. Mr. Woolner, the sculptor of the statue of Bacon, al rea dy th ere ( t h e gift of the Queen)) is to be the sculptor.--Budder. We (Army and Navy Gazette) understand that the lists of recommendations for promotion which have been received from China have come in a very confused shape —so much so, that in some instances the identity of the individuals is not a matter of certainty. Nevertheless, we expect that the recognition of the services of those who have distinguished themselves Will not prove unduly tardy. The promotion of Captains Rogers and Burslem and Lieutenant Chaplin was not only a rapid piece of officialism, but an unheard-of violation of red tape — three officers having been promoted for gallantry in the field, in anticipation of the recommendation of the general commanding.

The exchanges in, the Senth are - ebnijiletely disorganised, and the - effeet will be, of necessity; to limit the transactions in, and export of, cotton for some time. Prices have declined, and are nominal under the adverse circumstances. 'The decline, however, does not Opal the disadvantage in the rate of exchange. . .„ This market for cotton is for the present compttely parallyed. The business is confined to the operations of domestic consumers, who purchase such small parcels as are offered for sale cheap. There is no demand for ex port, owing to low rates of exchange. Pries are well sustained under thetircunistances, and holders are indis posed to press the present light stock on the market. It is difficult to give quotations, but those annexed are as near as Cali he arrived at from the small business of yesterclay_rikd to-day. The , sales Mr the Week are set down at 8,000. bales, mostly on 'Wednesday and Thurs . day last. The export for ,the same time has s beeri-- , to Livetpdol, 4,767; Glasgow, 106; Havre, 1,418; Ham burg, 532 ;. Antwerp, 265. Total, 7,112 bales. Business in the Southern Markets hag:- *asp' been brought to - a stand ; cotton canna be sold except for gold or: sight cheeks on New York ; prices are declining and will soon reach the point at which planters will refuse to sell. So far the decline in price does not cover the loss in'exchange. Crop.—Nothing definite can yet be said on the sub ject of the .extent of the crop. We are not as yet advised of the occurrences of a general killing frost in the cotton region. In former years this circumstance would have eaused a vbry general increase in the eitiniate ; this season appears to lie an exception, .and the .corresyond ence te' harlot • yestefday froni seferal pointg in the South insist that 4046,00 d Aales niusi be con sidered a"' maximum figure. Without adopting this estimate ourselves, we are willing to admit there is more uniformity of opinion os the subject at this time than'we haVe before noticed, and that more confidence is dile . to the opinion, since the resUltiof many individual crops are .now ascertained to fall below the yield of last vat, Shotild the present state of political feeling con tinue to exist in the Southern States, it will become a Matter Of great consequence to ascertain the effect upon the supply of cotton this year and for sonic yeafs to come. _ _ • -- Exports this week to Great Britain are 38,000 bales, against 90,000 in the earesponding week of list yeat. Next week and for a week or two thefeafter, we shall have tolerably free shipments ; after which they will depend upon the course of exchange, and the facilities afforded for its negotiation.

ETE CAMBRIDGE PROCTORIAL SYSTEAL The case of Kemp versus Latimer was resumed on. Saturday morning. The jury, after an absence of, an hour and a half, found that the Proctors had reasonable ground of suspicion that the Vice-Chancellor did not make due inquiry as to the character of the plaintiff, and that the punis hment was undeserved, .adding that, if this amounted to a verdict for the plaintiff, the amount o f damages should be fo rt y shillings. In reply to the j ud g e, the jury declined to find that the Vice-Chancellor had reasonable ground of suspicion the same as the Procto rs, as that would be a verdict for the defendant. Mi. Justice Erie put the question in a written form as to the participation of the Vice-Chancellor, an affirma tive answer to which, they were told, would be a verdict for the defendant. The jury again retired, and were absent one hour and forty minutes, when they returned, and said that they could not 'say yes, or no to the proposition of the learned judge, but they all agreed that the Vice-Chancellor ought to have made further inquiry before the girl was committed. After some further discussion, the judge said that, if counsel liked, he would enter a verdict for the plaintiff, at the same time suggesting that it wa s an imperfect verdict. This was agreed to, the effect being, that the result of the two days' trial amounted to nothing, A similar case a g ainst the Vice-Chancellor will be takg to-day. • THE ROAD MURDER. FURTHER INVESTIGATION. A meeting of the Trowbridge magistrates was held on' Friday, for the purpose of investigating the circum stances connected with the stained garment which was found secreted in the house on the day after the murder of the child, and the 'discovery of which had been kept a profound secret until within the last few days. Superintendent Foley and Serjeant Watts, Dali more, of the police, were examined, and stated the circumstances under which the discovery was Made. It does not appear that the garment was shown to Mr. Stapleton, the doctor, and he states :—" I was shown a garment_ having, s t a ins of blood u p on it wh en at R oad Hill House ; I saw a garment on three separate occasioni. I was consulted about the stains upon it. I believe it was the same garment I saw each time. I can't say wh a t that garment washy the quality, make, or size. I only knew it by the stains o blood on it, and I was satisfied what those stains were. lam not able to say whether the dress I saw was the same that others have seen." The decisions at which the magis trates arrived were agre ed in this, t hat it was wron g , or, rather, culpable, in Mr. , Foley not to have brought the fact of the finding of this shift before them ; but in not doing so he only used his own judgment instead of con sulting them.

DitADFIIL MURDER IN FIFESIIIRE.-011 Wednesday evening, about six o'clock, a brutal m urder was per petrated in the vill age o f Torryburn, Fifeshire. At the - above hour an under gamekeeper named MlCann or M'Kenn, an Irishman, employed on the estate of Oakley, entered the house of a • carrier named Dobbie, residing in Torryburn, and, taking a deliberat e aim at him with his gun as he sa t beside the fire, shot him in the head. The unfortunate man only survived a few minutes. M'Kenn was immediately apprehended and lodged in the county prison on a charge of murder. it appears that a few days previous to the murder •Dobbie and M'Kenn had some misunderstanding in a public house in the village, but their quarrel was stopped by the intervention of some persons present. - THE VOLU M NTEER OVEMENT.

('Laud applause.) They might just return to past events, and fo fe* inomeft£s take, retrospective glance at things that hagre bean, in order.es contest their present with their by-gone ' h* con , he might here observe that they, (the volunteers), Very little cause to 'com plain in that respect; bu t t, naieitheie'SW it was somewhat profitable to take a look et ; pest and eisiitira.s", the state of things then wtth i hat they 46 now. They all that aliottt that One la l st, year, or.at any rate' early in the year, ruri`io6is Were very.rmich afloat, an a l feelings ran high and strong, not onlyted the . difficulty that might arise to England from the Continent,' Vitt also . from the position in which the country found •herseft placed at the time—in a position, which was isow allowed by the press and the nation at large, .of being taally &lamed and. ;milt to resist any hostile aggression that might be made against Albion's .shores. , (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) Trq A5O, that patrititie 'feelings ran very high, from one end of the'tetnitry to the, other, as to the state of the political world, did they knew perfectly well the spirit and the excitement that then actuated the people of these islands, which spirit showed itself in removing what was justly felt to be a very diffienit, position, and a very unpleasant position — (hear, hear,)—in which the country and its inhabitants found themselves fixed, The spirit of the country manifested itself and showed itself In a most re markable ,thanner.. . (Heat, ; heat, and load cheers.) Thanks, hoWever; td that Spirit; the position was soon altered, that is to Say; this feeling as'efte,otirtigeri; and certain'; formations andestablishttients Were tirade iii order to encounter tlin' diffi'culties thatencOmpassed the cetintil. ,Those exertions; however great, and hoWever laudable, still wanted one niCt important' 'object,, which vies that of solidity. (Hear, hear. They all knew very well that however strong that .feeling Might :be, and however great might have been the direful necessity which evoked that spirit, whiolialWays exisTelrainongst Englishmen, still there was forthcoming a most impor tant desideratum, namely, that means should be taken for rendering that spirit available, and placing it in a firm arid siibstantial manner, (Hear, and cheers) Now, he Was glad find' that thin spirit pervaded gentlemen in all parls of the totinty, and he Was also happy to find gentlemen, he might day, froth all sides of Cheshire pre sent on that occasion, 'and Oho' had all along taken a most lively interest in the organisation of this great national enterprise. There were gentlemen from' the eastern side of the county, whose names he could mention if he were permitted-to do, so, who had devoted them selves above others, most especially in order to carry this movement out in all its fulleSt and most perfect details. It was ; as they all knew, invidious to speak of names ; and therefore ; he would refrain from publicly mentioning the names of those gentlemen to whom he had already alluded ; but still there was a gentleman on this side (the city side) of the county, to Whom ; he was bound to say, frdtit the knowledge that he himself had of the exertions which had Been made by.that. gentleman from the very commencement of the movement, in establishing. a volunteer force, that the county was very mita indebted for the actiVe part he had taken in carrying on. the pro ceedings of the movement. That gentleman had given to the project a great deal of his time, attention, and abilities; and the speaker was quite sure that he should be omitting a great public duty if lie forgot to mention (Mit he knew the puhlic out-of-doors" would nut Laird oblivions) the immense services rendered by Mr. (Hear, hear, and loud applause.) He Was, he thought, 'ernly giving mipression to the views and feelings that influenced all who had the pleasure of being acquainted with Mr. Laird's worth, when he said this much of that gentleman ; but at the same timehe was quite sure that the same feeling or desire to carry out• successfully this one object pervaded the hearts df other gentle men. Still, he was happy to state that from the spirited impetus which had been given to the movement at first a gloriouS result had followed. (Hear, hear; and applause.) 'Well, they all:were, doubtless, aware of the fact that they were collected on that occasion With one common object, and that object was (lie 'might ,mention it in priinis), to place the volunteers of _that great county who were connected with the volunteer moveme nt upon a firm and solid foundation; so that, for the future, they should neither be influenced by any of the periodical epidemic .panics, nor, at the same time, treat them or kindred rumours with more importance than was absolutely necessary. The exertions that were necessary to be made should be proportioned to the importance and requirements of the case. They all knew that there was a great establishment or association called the National Rifle' Association, which . had its head quarters in London; and he thouglithe was sup ported in the opinion by many gentlemen of the county, that arrangements were now so far advanced that they could safely place the County of Chesterltifle-Associa lion upon what was termed a firrnbasis; and at the same time have it affiliated or connected with the general lime Association for tne whole country. (Hear, near, and cheers:) For this purpose certain.,rules and regula tions had been drawn up, and a sreat deal of time, care, and attention had been expend ed in their toMpilation. He was also happy to say that these rules had been for - warded to the London Association (already referred to), and a communication had been received from the secre tary of that association,. stating that the rules had met • with the approbation of the-association generally. (Loud cheers.) The regulations enforced in the first instance, that the Society should be called the County of Chester Rifle Association, and that to entitle a person to become a member, a subscription of 10s. be required to be paid. There were three ways in which subscriptions were to be given ; one being by that of a payment of 10s., which merely qualified a person to be enrolled as a member of the Cheshire Association. There was also to be, if the subscribers were sopleased, a donation of £5 to be given, or if they thought proper, a sum to the amount of £2O might be given at the public meeting. , It was thought desirable that this new society should very much stand on a footing similar to that of the Royal Agriculthral Society— that is to say, that the council should make its own arrangements for the guidance of the Society. And, by the bye, en passant, he might be allowed to mention that everything connected with the arrangements of all kinds ; the management and responsibility, rested entirely with the council. The council would make their own arrangements, and these c ould be altered and modifie d at the anima). meetings, which would be held at different parts of the county. They would hereafter hear more of the details upon that subject than he could possibly furnish them with on. that occasion, but at the same time he should feel most happy to give any explanatien 'that might be required. He would also mention that' they were going to . have one general meeting in the month of September for the rifle shooting, which they thought would tend to keep up the spirit of the county, and at the same time he considered that such a gathering in the county had one immense advantage, far above all other considera tions—namely, that it brought together persons of all conditions, of all shades of political opinion, states of society, and nationality of country—,the English, Irish, and Scotch—in one harmonious band L--" Tros Tyriusque mihi nullo diserimine agetur; ambo sod inticto genti4 sub iisdem legibus in eterna fedora coeont:" (Applause.) And this he considered' a most important point to be gained, as few could rightly estimate the union and good fellowship that would arise from meetings such • as these in the county. (Loud and continued cheers.) He felt 'at the present moment that there were cheering prospects for the future, and he fondly trusted that the gloom was not now so dark which had for some time so ominously lowered over them, and that' they could at this time look forward with glowing hopes to a better future, and joyously hail the prospect of a brighter and more auspicious day. (Loud applause.) There 'appeared at the present moment to be a feeling of confidence in different parts of the world.: and in, illustration of this good feeling, he instanced the kindly , visits that had been recently made by the heir apparent of the British throne to the distant provinces of Canada, by whose denizens, as well by their warm-hearted 'but valtile cousins in the United States, the youthful prince hind been received in a generous, hospitable; and : truly respectful manner. (Hear, hear, and npplause.) Then, again, they saw that their graciohs Queen had been sojourning in Germany, and was no less enthu siastically received in that noble country. (Applause)' They had also another instance of the confidence that was springing up among the nations; in the fact that her Imperial Majesty the Empress of Austria was receiving acts of kindness and hospitality from her ,regal; sister, the Queen of England, who lent her pleasure yacht to the Empress when she touched upon the shores of Eng land at Plymouth. And lastly, 'they saw that her Majesty the Empress of the French was making a tour of the British Islands, and he was not quite sure but that they might have the honour of escorting her Majesty even in that "rare Old citie."' (Renewed applause.) Froth all.thesapoints of consideration, and looking at the present aspect of affairs, lie trusted that a more glorious time was coming, and that the country would have no occasion to stand trembling and afraid, but would,bo-always prepared for 'War and sith the gallant as si stance of the volunteers they *mild place this nation in a proper position among the -- mtion, afd cause her to be respected. in peace and fdaredin war.

(Great applause.) He thought also that theY.Were very much indebted to their friend, Mr. Laird, who'se eiertiona ,in :thig Cause were, he felt assured, deeply appreciated lip~all ,in the county. He believed also that Mr. Laird W . crdld - give his encouragement and support to such a movement :at that which was now being organised in the county. He felt tettairl that gentlemen from every part and quartet of the, _County Would all unite in joining this association. (Hear.) The totirrty was a very populous . one, and so far as the title/Yd . toird spirit of the volunteers were concerned he believed that thej , NV'er6 not inferior to any county in England ; and he hoped that Cheshire would not be backward, but that she would take a proud position_ among the other counties of England, and join' .this great national association, by forming one in.theit own county. (Loud applause.) Mr: LAIRD seconded the resolution in a short Speech, in the course of which he observed that - Cheshire had the high honour of being the thst . county in *gland in mooting the OAestiori for which that meeting' had been bOnven.ed,.. He thought also that.they were much in-., debted to the noble marquis for the support and coun tenance he had extended to the volunteer movement. (Heat hear.) lie Wat also, glad to see how generously.. gentlemen dame forward on that occasion from all parts of Cheshire to assist in placing on a perthanent basis this great movement; and he trusted that ,they, would . shortly have established a rifle . shooting association for . the county—(hear, hear)—which, be might.just then re mark, was identical in spirit with the national association. The rules of the proposed association bad been submitted to the National Association, the general council of which had approved .of. them, with one or two modifiCations, • Which they wisely suggested shOuld be made in them. The rules were now exactly similar to those of the denetaf Association, by which all the .counties of Engiduci should be guided in any steps they might take for forining,:art association. _(Applause.) As Lord Egerton had truly remarked, .the present meeting was the first meeting held in .any county of Englantl for the purpose of organising or establishing a ride shooting association, and the speaker was glad that Cheshire had, in this instance, as she had also in many others,. takeft the. leAd. .(Tremendous cheering.) After paying a high eulocr ' ium to the volunteers of the: county and city of Chester for their efficiency and soldierly appearance, he concluded by seconding the resolution. - Sir PHILIP DE MALPAS EGERTON rose and said : It was quite manifest from the manner in tW.hich the previous resolutions had been carried, that thA one which. he had the honour of submitting to their consideration' would be received in a no less hearty manner, and passed unanimously. The resolution was, "That in the opinion of this meeting, a county association should be established for the puipose of promoting rifle matches - Colonel LEeR reminded the noble chairman that the former" resolution had not been put to the meeting. (Load laughter.) "The-NOBLE CH/tin:Nal; apologised for the mistake he had committed, and then rectified it by submitting the motion to the meeting for its approval, in the usual form. It was carried unanimously. Sir PHILIP EGERTON continued his speech. He saw by the number of hands held up at the time his lordship put the motion to the meeting, that lie had'only antici pated what was a fact, that they were unanimous in the opinion that the association should be formed. There was an old English adage which said that "money made the mare to go," ( laugh), and he trusted that they would not be backward in tendering, but that they would be equally unanimousjti voting the finantial part which was necessary to maTlitain the association ,that they were about to establish. (Hear,hear, and applause.) With regard to the general subject of the rifle move- • ment, he believed he might 'he permitted to say that it deserved all the commendations that had been bestowed on it by the previous speakers, abut they omitted one fact in connection with it, and it was this, that in the procedure' they were now:intent on—viz., of forming a rifle shooting association—they were establish ing a healthy, pleasant, and most laudable amusement for the people of this country. (Loud cheers.) He had frequently spoken in that hall, and had often had'applied to him the epithet of boing.an old Tory. (A laugh.) Now he believed vile a the P rinciple.' of old tc!ryiaill woo to have a national and cherished respect and Veneration for' things of antiquity, and the good old customs of the olden time. (Hear, hear.) ,And he was most happy, on that principle, to find that all present on that occasion were Old Tories. (Loud laughter and applause.) 'l3y referring to. the pages of ancient ,history, they would find that-their ancestors had a great regard for shooting and exercising themselves with the bow, and other manit habits. (Hear, hear.) One of the chief. rewitins why he supported the volunteer movement was because it. was a wholesome, healthy, useful; and exciting amuse , ment, and tended to expand the muscles and dev - eIOP the physical energies of his countrymen, just as, in the olden time, the somewhat similar practices of their fore .. . fathers had a like effect. - , (Applause.) Their ancestors combined amusement with instruction in the use of that weapon, which, in case of necessity, they might have been called upon to use in time of war. (Loud cheering.) In like manner he wanted to apply this principle to the volunteers in the ,use of the rifle. (Hear, hear.) - They - had all read in some of the delightful novels of Sir Walter Seat how the barons and the nobles of the land used to have their own amusements in their baronial halls and castle yards, their tiltings, tournaments, tour neys, and jousts, in which, however, the lower orders could notjoin;..whereas at the present day—thanks to the passing away of feudal tyranny and usurpationthey were establishing an amusement in which ,the, highest titled noble of the land will join with all classes of the community in one glorious phalanx. (Laud cheers.) The-defences of the country would rest with the volun teers, no less than with the regular army ; and for this reason he hoped every support and encouragement would be giyen to the movement, and especially to the object for which: the present meeting was called. (Loud applause.) , - • The MAYOR of liiiceLEsriELD had great pleasure in seconding the resolution proposed by Sir Philip Egerton. He thought that no person could entertain a doubt as to the desirableness of establishing such an association as that contemplated. He could not forget the almost .isolated position and helplessness in•which this country was placed previous to the volunteer movement, some twelve or eighteen months ago. The British army could of course ao a great deal : . it was a highly efficient and well trained body of men ; but it could not perform wonders, (Hear, hear.) He did not profess to know • much about military matters, but he knew this, at any rate, that by the aid of steam a large number. of men could be wafted across St. 'George's Channel ,in a brief space of time, and thus they would see that -Britain had 'partially lost her much and oft vatited supremacy on the seas, and, consequently, they would see the great neces sity there existed for numerical strength and force of men. He had seen some of the °Teat armies of Europe at their Magnificent reviews, and it was certainly a sight which struck him with awe' when the thought flashed across his mind that these imposing masses of men might ono. ofty - trample -on the sacred shor ts of "liisdearly-loved little Island. , (Applause.) He was prowl, 116)vder, to see the spirit with which the volunteer moyehtent was commenced .and carried out, which 'would seem to banish.. all fears they might entertain of foreign invasion: He then drew attention to the practices of their ancestors in the use of the bow, and lie hoped that the rifle would be used 'in a similar manner by their posterity. Exer m ciSe' in military a ecomplishnients was an agreeable and' pleasant way of whiling away the time of the youth of the •country, and lie trusted that the volunteer move ment would receive substantial aid. (Loud pplause.) Colonel Lao" moved 'the third resolution:—",That. th e Lord-Lieutenant of the. County 1) . 6 requested to act as secretary-patron of the association, and that the coni. 7 mittee of the association shall consist of four prOidents;' twelve vice-presidents, and the council of twenty-one members, on whom the exclusive managethent of the affairs of the association shall devolve." He spoke in high terms of the volunteer movement. , Colonel WirantsiLot rose, and was <received .with loud cheers. He said he had heeh 'ealledlipen to second IliVreselittiOn proposed, and he• felt highly ihentfurdd 411'4.1ring-so.

In con clusion, he would quote the words of the Roman poet— " iinitut et commune perieulum ambobus salus una era." (4oXid app4anse.) . The Meeting. then separated. .

CAUTION TO CAB DRIVERS. , William Proctor, alias Jones, a cart-owner and driver, was charged by officer Lynch (142), who said—Yester day morning the prisoner was driving a horse and cart in Chapel-street in a furious manner. He was drunk and not able to manage the horse, and he was racing abreast of. another cart, and the public were in much danger. Mr. Raffies—What rate was he going at ? Upwards of eight miles an hour, I should say. It is a crowded street, and very dangerous to drive quickly in. Mr, Raffies—l wonder you car-drivers have not been cautioned sufficiently in consequence of the fatal acci dent that happened there the other day frOm furious driving. The prisoner said—l was :not driving the mare was standing at the pier -head all the day, and she was cold, and when I turned homeward she began to trot a bit : but she is not able to go more than four miles an hour. I was quite sober. Bridewell-keeper Hutchinson said—l took the charge, and the, man was .qtriter drunk, and utterly incapable of driving: Mr. Raffles--I have told car-drivers before, and I now tell you again, that in every case where it is proved that you are drunk, and driving so.as to endanger the lives of the public, I will inflict the full penalty. I trust this Warn ing will go out amongst yeti. I fine you 40s. and costs, or two months' imprisonment. The prisoner was committed for the present. • • • 4 THE CHARGE OF BIGAMY. George Nicholson, the porter, who was remanded on a charge of bigamy, was brought up. Mr. Bluck, for the prosecution, said, the second wife is rather curious about this affair. It appears the prisoner goes and lives with his first wife for a while, and then would live with this young woman for another while. She had him charged before, but withdrew it, and now she wishes to withdraw the charge again. The young woman was then called, andufter some hesitation, she said she would not proceed in the case if the prisoner kept away from her, and that she was allowed to have her furniture. Mr. Raffles said the prisoner bad no right to any of her property. The girl then withdrew the charge, and the prisoner was liberated. EMBEZZLEMENT. Christopher Gallagher, a porter at the female peni tentiary, Falkner-street, was brought up on remand, charged with having embezzled certain sums of money belonging to the institution. Inspector Horn said since •the last day the prisoner was before the court, it was discovered that he had received seventy sums of money, arrieunting to £2O 10s. The prisoner then said he acknowledged having taken the money. Mr. Raffles : 'I - cannot deal summarily with this case, and as it is a charge of embezzlement, I must have evidence. Mr. :Horn then called the housekeepers belonging to Mr. Bennett, to Mr. Williams, of St. James's-mount, and the Compton House, who proved having paid the prisoner sums of money, and the matron of the penitentiary proved that she never got the money from the prisoner. The prisoner again-said lie was guilty. He was sent for trial. (Before Messrs. Chilton and Lamport.) AFFILIATION CASE. Andrew Peacock, a wholesale biscuit and flour dealer, in Great Oiford-street, was summoned by Sarah Lloyd, an interesting looking female, who sought to affiliate a child on him. Mr. Cobb appeared for the defendant: The complainant stated that, in November, 1859, she became acquainted with the defendant, and that he brought her to his office, where an improper intimacy took place, and the result was the birth of a child in October of this. year. A girl was called partly to corroborate the' evidence of the complainant, and ikir. Cobh subjected both to a searching cross-examination, but they persisted in their statement. Mr. Cobb pro duced the defendant, who swore that all stated was false, so far as he was concerned. The case:was ad journed to next week for further evidence on the part of the defendant. • LIST OF CABIN PASSENGERS PER S.S. EDINBURGH, FROKNEW YoRK.Mr. J. Regney, Miss Regney, Mr. J. A.

The prospect is a fine one for young men of energy.—Hedical Times and Gazette. THE COOK AND THE JEWELLER.—A letter from .Liudau (Wurtemburg) says :—"The Duchess of Parma, Who is at present residing at the chateau of Wartensee, on the• Lake ,of. Constance, recently lost a diamond brace let worth 6,000 f., during an excursion on board a Wurtemburg steamer: It was foUnd' by a woman employed as cook' on board the boat, and she sold; it to a Jeweller at Lindan for 400 florins. The latter dis ,mounte4 the diamonds and sold them at Munich. ' The whole matter afterwardS came to light. The cook and the jeweller were.severely reprimanded by the Wurtcm- , burg authorities." • The eldest sou of the Earl .of Leven and Melville, (who has recently succeeded his brother in those titles) has adopted' as his designation his father's second title of ViseOunt Kirkcaldy, instead of tbe customary appella ti6h of Viscount Balgonie, which was borne by the late earl and by his son. • Precedents for this departure from the ordinary course are to be found in the case of the late Duke of Norfolk (who assumed for his second title the s t y l e of Earl of Arundel aird:Surrey, instead of the earldom of Surrey. alone, as borne by his father), , and in, other noble families. • - . THE EMPRESS OF THE FRENCH IN A PRERVIHRIAN PARISH Cnuntu.—A correspondent of the Gasgbee He rald, 'writing from `NeWtyle Cottage, Nov. 25 says in a letter -to a relative—l dare say, if you are net the very first in Glasgow to know, you will not be the last, that the Empress of the French worshipped God in the New Protekitant 'Cathedral,' or Parish Church, Of the ancient 0 4y , ' ,, :f.--riunkeld to-day. There were two other ladies and twogentlemen.' They were in the Duke's seat; .everything was just the same as if no person of importance was present. ' The Duke of Athole and• Miss M.'Gregor were in their accustomed places, and the ser vants behind them as usual. Mr. Wilson preached from Luke Rix. 9, from the words, "This day is salvation 'come to this house ;" and in the prayer, after our own. QUeen blessingand Royal Family, he prayed for a on that Royal Lady who is now sojourning_ in our beloved country, and that God would be pleased to Aess,her visit with -the object sought—that she would soon be restored to her usual health, and that her . visit might also t en d to ' cement the friendship of the two 'great nations, & C . but he took no notice of her tieing present - in o ur ; . assembly. So quietly was everything donethat no one knew anything, about it until they . saw her coming into the church, and, I am happy to say, there was no staring. She came here.(Birnam Inn) on i'iiti..,y, and went s t raight to Blair—the Duke with her. . .. -0.-ri 3 ~ CORONER'S COURT. On Saturday the Coroner held'the following inquests : On the body of Hughh.

The evidence given went to show that she had been a ser vant, and that some time ago she received money f rom her brother in America, to take her out there. Sh e paid her passage, and had her luggage on board the ship, and it went cut in the ship, but it' seemed she remained behind with wilier' named John M'Nally, and, since last August, very little was seen of or heard about. her, until her body was found in the canal. Her brother,. a gas-fitter here, stated that there was a variety of rumours afloat, and he wished the case adjourned to this day, when further evidence would be produced.

The witness was examined at some length, and cross-examined by Mr. Cobb„ with the view of showing that the clients of the latter did not strike the deceased. The witness s'Ated that tl4 .man who had struck the blow was not now. present—he' did not know who the man was.

THE Poor.-nox.----Mr. Blake, the beadle of the court,. received ss. from Mrs. Frederick Hughes, of Lodge-lane,. for the benefit of the widow of the poor man Abrahams,. whose case appeared in our paper a day or two ago, andt that officer handed it to the poor widow. There died on Friday, and was buried on Sunday,, (yesterday,) at Grange-lane Chapel, Birkenhead, the younger brother of Francis Timlin, whose name is known to the public in connection with the charge for manslaughter in the case of Regina v. Thomas. He was attended during his short illness by Mr. Lambert, a witness in the above case. Surprise having been expressed in various quarters that no Lord of the Admiralty attended the funeral of the late gallant Earl of Dundenald, it is only right the public should be informed that the cards for admittance to Westminster Abbey were only sent to the Admiralty half-an-hour before the funeral took place, and conse quently their lordships were prevented from paying that respect to the memory of that most gallant officer which it was their unanimous wish to do. csportiug Auttitigtart, TILE CLERK OF am COURSE AT WOLVERHAMPTON...-We understand that,,in consequence of personal allusions made in reference to Mr. Devereaux's horse running at Shrewsbury, that gentleman has - tendered his resignation to the Race Com mittee as Clerk of the Course at Wolverhampton,. which has been reluctantly accepted.--- Wolverhampton Sp i rit of the SOUTH LANCASHIRE OPEN COURSING MEETING....MIiS meet ing will take place at Southport, weather permitting, on Wed nesday, January 9, and following days.

HoLtowAy's PlLLS.—Dyspepsia, indigestion, flatulency, ehartburn, biliousness, nausea, want of appetite. French philosophers trace the moral feelings of the mind to the state of the stomach ; and there is much wisdom in the assertion, the stomach to the human body is more than the kitchen to domestic establishment, ever so little disordered the whole internal economy is deranged. The young may smile at the simile, and disbelieve the tremendous sacrifice indigestion extracts from his victim. The day will come when they will lament over their dyspepsia, as thousands stronger than them selves have done, when it will be well for their comfort and happiness if they only remember these prophetic words, and hold in readiness Holloway's Pills a certain safeguard. \Ew INVENTION•—TIIE NEW FOUNTAIN PEN.—A greater annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with—tbe difficulty is to get a good one.

By a simple but effec tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of a second inverted barrel, above the NN riting nib, and this barrel can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly clean w.thout any chance of being corroded. Another feature in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will for five minutes' quick writing. The pen itself is of the finest description, and in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it will be found to fill a want felt by every one up to this time. We have tried this splendid pen, handed to us by Mr. E. T. Hall, South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour, Du Barry's delicious health-restoring Rcvalenta Arabica Food restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, refreshing sleep, and functional regularity to the most disordered or enfeebled, without medicine, purg ing, or expense; and removing, speedily and effectually, indigestion (dyspepsia), habitual constipation, hemorrhoids, liver, complaint, flatuency, .diarrhoea, dysentery, nervousness, biliousness, scarlatina and other fevers, sore throats, catarrahs, colds, influenza, whooping cough, diphtheria, measles, chicken and small pock, noises in the head and ears, rheumatism, gout, impurities, eruptions,. liyiteria, neuralgia, irritability, sleep lessness, acidity, palpitation, heart-burn, headache, debility, dropsy, despondency, cramps, spasms, nausea and sickness, sinking, fits,sough, asthma, bronchitis, consumption, scrofula, tightness of the chest, pains at the pit of the stomach and between the.shoulders, &c., atrophy or wasting away of the body in old and young.
