At Meagissey, last Friday, a large 1)1,r-it Bein•ePilchards were discovered to the westward, N1 8t uB ) w't B l, N4 tre Put to sea. The ash, however, passed " g near the shore, and nothing was TURKEY AND RUSSIA. Accounts received from Constantinople of the 10th, by the Vienna Telegraph, state, that the Sul tan had made a formal demand to the Ambassadors of England and France to summon the allied fleets to the Bosphorus. The ambassadors had accord ingly done so. It is said, in a despatch from Bucha rest, of the sth, that Prince Gortscakoff's inspec tion being terminated, " the camps had been broken up, and Russian troops were moving in masses on the Danube to the number of 35,000 men, with 251 guns." Another telegraphic despatch from Vienna says that the following was the reply of .Prince Gortschakoff to the summons of Omer Paella to evacuate the Danubian Principalities :—" My mas ter is not at war with Turkey, but I have orders not to leave the Principalities until the Porte shall have given to the Emperor the moral satisfaction which he demands. When this point has been ob tained, I will evacuate the Principalities imme diately, whatever the time or the season. If lam attacked by the Turkish army, I will confine my self to the defensive." _ _ A letter from Constantinople of the sth instant, The Synod of the Fanar is about to be summoned to elect a new Greek Patriarch, in con sequence of the death of Monseignor Germanos, which event created considerable excitement in Constantinople in consequence of reports having been circulated that he died by poison. Monsiegnor Germanos had protested against the new ecclesi astical discipline commanded by Russia, and it is said that he had for that reason incurred the displeasure of Prince Menschikoff. There is con siderable intrigue going forward to influence the election. Some of the candidates are partisans of Turkey, and the others of Russia." says—' - The Paris Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, writing on Wednesday evening, says.:— "It has been currently rumoured to-day that a manifesto of the most warlike character, issued by the Emperor of Russia, in answer to the declara tion of war by the Porte, had been received here this morning. I have made inquiry in the proper quarter as to the truth of the report, but I cannot find that it rests upon any good foundation. In deed, it is physically impossible that the news could have travelled to St. Petersburg and back to Paris by to-day. It may be -as well to warn the public against the war-like rumours so often in vented by interested parties on mere probabilities." The same correspondent makes the following statement :—" On Sunday last, the 16th inst., the Emperor gave an audience at the Palace of Corn piecr°ne to the Chamber of Commerce of St. Quentin. In the course of the interview, Louis Napoleon made some particular inquiries as to the state of trade at the present moment at St. Quentin ; to which M. Picard replied, that the trade of the place was, upon the whole, in a satisfactory state as compared with the last few years, but that business would have been much more active this season but for the state of political affairs. The incessant alarm in which the public had for some time past been kept, by the threatening aspect of the East ern question, had necessarily had an unfavourable influence on commercial affairs. The Emperor replied, " This is perfectly true, but I have every reason to believe that the Eastern question will be settled pacifically, and that within a very short time." These words made a deep impression on the members of the deputation, and no doubt, in the present state of the question, they are of importance. Although the circumstance is not noticed in any of the Paris papers, I can guarantee its authenticity. FRANU The advices from Paris of Wednesday evening says :—lt is considered extraordinary that no ac count has yet been received of the departure of the combined fleets from Besika for the Bosphorus. It was generally believed that they would leave on the Bth, and we are now at the lUth without intel ligence, being nearly double the time that would be required if the fleets left on the Bth. The Debats publishes a telegraphic despatch from Vienna, received on Tuesday, and professing to givo the reply made by Prince Gortschakoff to the summons to evacuate the Principalities of the Danube. The correctness of this despath is, howovor, doubted. Some more political arrests have been made in Paris, but they are few in number, and without importance. Indeed, in almost every instance, the detention of the parties did not exceed a few hours. The funds were on Wednesday even more heavy than they were on Tuesday, and there has been another slight decline in prices. The Rentes and Industrial Shares are fortunately now in the hands of persons few of whom are compelled to make sacrifices. But for this the depression in the money market would be much more considerable. The Patrie of this evening states that among the recent arrests in Paris is that of M. Delescluze, the intimate friend of Ledru-Rollin, who had come over to Paris as the delegate of Ledru-Rollin and the central Democratic committee. All his papers were seized, and it appears that he is still in cus tody. The Presse mentions a domiciliary visit to the lodgings of M. Victor Maugin, the son of M. Maugin, of Nantes. M. Victor Maugin was not, however, arrested. The same journal says it has received a letter from Bucharest, in which it is stated that the weather there is very dry and fine, and that there is nothing to prevent the crossing of the Danube by the troops of Omer Paella. Accord ing to this letter, the Russians are notlin sufficient force to resist the Turks, if they would advance at once. The Patrie declares in the most positive manner that the statements in the St. Petersburg journals of the success of the Russians in the Caucasus, are utterly unfounded. The Paris correspondent of the Globe says, it has been remarked since the Emperor has been at Compeigne, that his Majesty, when driving out with the Empress, when at the theatre, and on other public occasions, places her on his right hand, in place of on the left, where she generally sits. According to one of the ancient usages of the French monarchy, it was only when the Queen was enceinte that she was placed on the right hand of the Sovereign. That custom was restored by the present Emperor a few months ago,' when the Empress Eugenie was in an interesting situation; and it is consequently concluded that her Ma jesty is once more in a position to hold out to Louis Napoleon an expectation of an heir to his throne. It is also remarked that the Empress, contrary to her ordinary habit, goes to the chase in a carriage, and not on horseback. AUSTRIA The Vienna Correspondent of the Morning .(Thronicle, writing on the 16th instant, says that ;neat astonishment prevails there in regard to the mportant reduction in the Austrian army, which s to be carried into effect previous to the com mencement of the military year, which commences m the Ist of November. " There are not a few persons," says the writer, " who disbelieve in the bona fide execution of the measure ; and, taking all things into consideration, it is not difficult to find ample reasons for their incredulity. I can, never theless, assure you, upon the best authority, that the reduction will be carried into effect as surely as the Imperial decree has been issued. It may, then, without in the least over-valuing it, be safely taken as an earnest that Austria will leave nothing undone to win the confidence of the European Powers, and her own people, with respect to that strict neutrality in the Russo-Turco question which has been wisely resolved upon." With regard to the Russo-Turkish question, the writer says, that Austria wishes to be understood as never having approved of the aggressive policy of Russia in the occupation of the Danubian Principalities, but that the con dition of the Christian population in Russia requires a better administration of justice than at present, and that this undoubted fact, to a great extent, justifies the demand of Russia. Still, that if the sword must decide the quarrel, though Austria will take no part in the war, she will continue her mediatory exertions, and even in the face of a war on her frontiers, will reduce her army in proof of the sincerity of her conviction, and in order that the calamity of additional complications and dangers to the peace of Europe may be avoided. The Chronicle's correspondent says, that the reduction of the army, when carried out, will certainly cause a saving to the country of from 20 millions to 25 millions of florins. But that it must not be thought that Austria is running any great risk in disband ing 60,000 men. There are still about 300,000 men under arms—quite sufficient to meet present exigencies ; and, in cases of need, an augmentation, doubling or even trebling the present reduction, can be easily effected with a few weeks.

Mr. Otway had also an interview with the same minister on the subject. Senor Domenech, though a Catalan, is said to declare emphatically that he considers him self as Minister of Spain, and will deal with this question strictly in the _sense of justice. _ . Don Luis Lopez Ballesteros, - Finance Minister for some time under Ferdinand VII., died on the 13th. Queen Christina was expected at Madrid between the 18th and the 24th.

The Volksthing, on the 13th instant, formed itself into a committee, composed of the whole of its members, for the examination of the new con stitutional project for the kingdom of Denmark. It decided unanimously, after a short discussion, to reject the project of the government, and to take for the base of its deliberations the funda mental law of the sth of June, 1849. There will be three discussions. IUSTRALIAN ROYAL NAVIGATION MAIL COMPANY. STEAM Inesday last, an extraordinary meeting of the s, was held at the London Tavern, for the several purposes hereinafter mentioned, viz ducinp.., o or an th ori vary the provisions of ti hat the number of shar he directors t Bed of settlement which require to be held by a director should been held for six consecutive months next pre his election, or otherwise relate. to the electio❑ or qualification of directiors ; annulling, alterir _ or authorising the directors to annul, alter, or vary the pro visions of the deed of settlement relating to the scale of voting at general meetings, adopting, in place thereof, the scale of voting mentioned in the Companies Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845, or any other scale ; adopting or authorising the directors to adopt any other provisions, and passing or authorising bye-laws relative to the matters aforesaid, or any of them ; sanctioning any a.pplication to the President of the Board of Trade for his consent to and approval of any resolution or resolutions of the company passed or'to be thereafter passed, relating to the matters aforesaid or any of them ; appointing new directors ; appointing an auditor, or varyin d fixing the remuneration of director and auditors if the meeting should so think fit) for the purr approving, and carrying into effect any proposition for the dissolution and winding-up of the com pany, and of passing all such resolutions, and giving all such powers and instructions to the directors, or any other per sons or person, and transacting all such business in relation to .the matters aforesaid, or any of them, as the meeting shall think fit." The CHAIRMAN, Mr. T. G. Frith, opened the proceedings by stating that he trusted every gentleman would be as cool as possible. The object of every one present was to protect the company's property, which he was afraid would be utterly ruined if the dissensions which had hitherto been exhibited should be continued. (Hear, hear.) . , The SECRETARY then read a report which stated that the directors had made an application to the board of trade for the purpose of soliciting the requisite sanction to the repeal or modification of the existing provision of the deed of set- - tlement, which makes a six month's tenure of the prescribed number of shares a part of the qualification, of a director, and that the reply of the board of trade was that they could not take the proposal' into consideration, until they were satisfied that the change proposed had - been fully and de liberately approved by the shareholders. On receipt of this communication, the directors thought it right to con- le the proprietori by a notice comprehensive enough to dude all business likely to be brought forward by them- selves or others. The business which the director's had to propose would consist of two resolutions—the first, to adopt and - confirm the pending application to ,the . board . of trade ; and the second, to reduce the number of directors to such a number as the proprietors might think best fitted for the effective administration of the company's affairs. The CHAIRMAN, then after a few recapitulatory remarks, 6' That this meeting is of THE CASE OF MISS CUNNINGHAME, The Turin correspondent of the Times, writing on the 12th instant, says :—" My letters from Florence say that when it was notified to Miss Cunninghame, at Lucca, on Monday morning last, that the Grand Duke had given an order for her release, she positively refused to leave the prison on an act of grace, as she said she had been impri soned a month without being brought to trial, and her ad vocate had told her that no verdict could be obtained against her, as she had not transgressed the law, and therefore she would not go out until she had seen him. In the evening it was announced to her very civilly that go she must. She still refused, and then she was told that if she did not go freely, she would be carried out by force, upon which she replied, " Give me that in writing, and I will go." They did so, and accordingly out she went. Report says, the tracts for the distribution of which she was imprisoned were not of a character to implicate her in any attempt to prose lytize, or even bring the Roman Catholic Religion into ?ontempt ; and moreover, that an ecclesiastical council had examined them at Lucca, and could find no evidence in them against her. I hear also that her advocate told her she could make no resistance to the royal will, and must accept her release ; but that he was very sorry for it, as he felt that he had a good case. It is difficult now to arrive at the whole truth, which will most likely be made public when parliament meets. IRELAND (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, THURSDAY SUFFERERS BY THE LATE COLLISION.- inquest was held yesterday, at Stevens's Hotel, on the body of Miss Pack. The evidence was merely confined to identi fication, and to the nature of the wounds which caused death. The deceased was about 35 years of age, and sister-in-law of the Rev. W. Woods, of Prospect, King's County. The resident surgeon deposed that death ensued from "effusion into the air-cells and bronchical tubes," subsequent to erysi pelas and dysentery. The following was the verdict : "We find that Miss Emma Pack came by her death from the effects of injuries which she received in a collision of trains on the Great Southern and Western Railway, on the sth inst., at Clownings, in the County of Kildare." Miss Farrell, another sufferer in the hospital, is progressing favor ably; but it is feared that Esther Coffey will never completely recover. Mrs. Blacker is still hovering between life and death. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE KINGSTON r"..40.-am 7 13 7 LN... Michael Staunton, who was killed on the previous eveiiin at Kingstown. It appeared from the evidence that on th arrival of the six o'clock train, the deceased, who was a passenger, got out at the wrong side, and whilst crossing the adjoining rails was overtaken by the engine, which, having been turned on the turn-table, was coming back. The fol lowing verdict was agreed to :—" We find that the said Michael Staunton, on the 18th inst., was accidently killed at the Kingstown terminus of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway, by the 'Burgoyne' engine passing over his legs, and also that there is no blame to be attached to either the driver or the stoker." UNrvEnsiTy Apponsrminsrr.—Dr. W. T. C. Thomson, of Aberdeen, has heen appointed Professor of N a t ura l History to the Queen's College, Cork, instead of William Hincks, Esq., F. L S., who has accepted a professorship at Toronto. The appointment will no doubt be an unpopular one, as this is the second vacancy in the Queen's University which has been filled up by a Scotch importation. It is besides doubtful whether those Government appointments are legal, as it was originally understood that all the professorships, after the first, should be filled by an examination of can didates. _ . RAI LWAY.- .... 41... 1.. a-, . t MAYNOOTH COMMISSION.—The commissioners have al ready spent upwards of one month continuously in inquiring into the several matters within the scope of their com mission. They have not, we understand confined their ex amination to witnesses who, from their present and past con nexion with St. Patrick's College, might be supposed to be prejudiced in favour, of its system, but have sought for in formation and suggestions from several independent sources. We understand that after a few more meetings the commis sioners will adjourn for the purpose of considering and di gesting the mass of evidence which they have accumulated on the several heads of their inquiry, and that in December they will meet again to investigate further, if necessary, and canvass their report. A VICEREGAL VlSlTOR.—Yesterday, at Capel-street police office, Captain Winter, of the 17th Lancers, and some other officers of the Lord Lieutenant's household, attended at this court this morning, and stated that on the previous evening, between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, the Lord Lieutenant and the Countess of St. Germains were sitting in the drawing-room of the Viceregal Lodge, when a man walked in and sat down quite deliberately. The Lord Lieutenant and Lady St. Germains being rather surprised, his Excellency addressed the intruder, and asked how he came there, and what his business was ; to Which be replied that he came in at the front door, and that he wanted to have an interview with his Excellency. After some inter rogateries, it appeared that he was the Rev. Henry Stannard, who evidently was in a state of unsound mind, but ap parently not dangerous. The police having been called, he was removed to the station house at Bridewell-lane ' where he remained all night; but strange to say he effected his escape front the police station about eight o'clock this morning. Captain Winter stated that his Excellency did not desire to take any harsh proceedings, but merely wished that steps should be taken that might prevent a re currence of a visit of a similar kind to the Viceregal Lodge. A warrant was then issued for the apprehension of the gentleman. THE INCOME TAX.—The .Evening Mail of last night has the following complaint :—"As if for the purpose of marking, in the minutest detail, the dishonest nature of this odious impost, a plan has been devised which, if not successfully resisted, will make the tax highly productive. A notice containing a copy of schedule D, was served at our office YESTERDAY, bearing date the first of October, and requiring the schedule to be filled and returned within twenty-one days from the date. If this be not done, a penalty of 201. will be incurred, and the tax will be trebled. That is, in fact, the notice has been withheld by' the surveyor, who signs himself John Gilbert, for eighteen days after it ought to have been served, and the twenty-one days professed to be allowed for the difficult operation of filling a complicated and novel return is diminished in our own particular case to three days." I may mention that a large number of people have even, as yet, received no returns to fill up at all, so that the new office bids fair to be characterised by the same blundering and mismanagement, which affects every public establishment in Dublin, from. the drainage commissioners to the post-office. CORN AND YOUGHAL RAILWAY.—A meeting of the landed proprietors and rate-payers of the baronies of Kin natalloon, Imokilly, Fermoy, Condons, Congibibbons, and Barrymore, was held at the Court-house of Diddleton on Saturday. The object of the meeting, asstated in the requi sition by which it was convened, was to consider the pro priety of granting a baronial guarantee in aid of the con struction of a railway from the city of Cork to the towns of Middleton and Youghal, with branches of such railway to Queenstown and Fermoy. The meeting after a prolonged discussion, decided against the guarantee. HomiciDE.—The Silkehny Moderator of last night con tains the following : Yesterday morning the buffoon of a penny theatre at present pitched on the Parade in this city, and whose name was Henry Rowan, was found dead in his bed at his lodgings in Walkin-steeet. The man had gone through his usual performance at the theatre on the previous night, without making any complaint, but he had been suf fering much for the last three weeks from the effects of a blow received in a row in a public-house at New Ross. al leged to have been inflicted by the belt of a soldier of the 624 Regiment, named Reilly, then on detatchment in Ross, but at present in this garrison. It is supposedthat Rowan's skull had been fractured by the blow. moved the following r opinion that it is highly prejudicial to the interests of th company that it should be confined in the selection of its directors to the limited number of shareholders who have held the requisite number of shares for six consecutive months befere the time of election; and that the directors be requested to hand a copy of this resolution to the right honourable the President of the Board of Trade, and to make an immediate and urgent application to him for his consent to the application of the company for a reduction of such required period of tenure to ten days, and to an alteration of the existing provisions of the deed of settlement to that extent ; and that, if such consent be given, a further meeting of shareholders be convened with all possible expe dition, for the purpose of reducing the prescribed period of tenure of the election of director from six months to ten days next preceding his election, and IC altering the deed of sett' Mr. SHEPHERD seco. [ement nec The CHAIRM AN said the next r submit to the meeting v the company be reduced from twelve to a number now to be determined upon." That number the directors had not thought it desirable to name; bid if the opinion of the board should be asked, he might state that the number of directors they would recommend would be seven ; and he proposed to introduce that number into the resolution, un less there should be a manifest declaration to the contrary on the part of the shareholders (hear, hear). Several amendments were proposed, but ultimately the Chairman's resolution was carried. Mr. VANCE then proposed a resolution to the effect that the directors be entrusted, in the future conduct of the affairs of the company, to act with a view to the eventual realisation of its assets, at such places and times, and in such manner, as the directors may think best calculated to prevent the sacrifice of the property of the company. _._. (Hear, hear.) Captain COFFIN seconded the resolution n rnanltltl All which was supported by the chairman and some of the di rectors, but was opposed by several shareholderr as super fluous, and ultimately withdrawn. A motion proposed by Mr. HAIVES, to alter the mode of voting in accordance with the Lands Clauses Consolidation, was also withdrawn, after a warm and acrimonious discus sion, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman the proceed ina's terminated. NOVELTY IN PLATE.—We have pleasure in di recting attention to a pair of Fruit Stands, designed and manufactured by Mr. Flower, No. 8, Bold-street, in whose window they are now exhibited. They are composed of the legs of a noble Eagle, shot in Ireland by a gentleman of this town ; each claw rests upon a finely executed rocky base of silver, and each leg is surmounted by a beautifully cut .ass bowl, resting in a silver feathery capital of exquisite workmanship. We have seen nothing of the kind in finer taste as to the design, or better performed as to the workmanship. NEW ITALIAN CHURCH IN LONDON.—It iS said that a Roman Catholic church, for the benefit of Italians and other foreigners in London, will be immediately erected on a site recently purchased in Hatton-garden. The new church will be of very large proportions, and in the purest Italian style, and a body of Priests, .representing every Tna tion in Europe, will be attached to it. T HE SIIIP-BUILDING TRADES.—Owing to the launches and completion of a number of vessels on Clyde, lately, and a paucity of fresh orders, the shipbuilders find that now s canget plenty of men. A reduction in the amongst carpenters, j o i ners , r i ve tt ers , & c ., e to r hf e e fi a re being looked forward to. This will enable our irsslaititpehbuilders to compete more effectually with other ports in the way of contracts.—Glasgow Constitutional. THE CAMP AT CHOBHAM.—Dr. Grant, of South wark, in a pastoral letter which he has recently addressed to .the:Roman Catholic laity of his district, states that during the late encampment at Chobham, several of the clergy, both regular and secular, devoted themselves to the spiri tual charge of the Irish soldiers quartered there. "An altar and a tent," he says, " were furnished by two Ca tholics, and even some officers sought the honour of serving mass." MUTINY ON BOARD THE QUEEN OF THE tElGN.—Wednesday being appointed for . the reading over and translating the voluminous depositions taken before Mr. Yardley in this complicated and difficult case, all the accused were formally arraigned in the dock—Ahalt and Ali, two Malays, for assaulting and wounding Mr. William Burford Treatt;the chief-mate of the Queen of the Teign, with in tent to murder him • and Captain William Tapley Stoke, the master of the Queen of the Teign, and William North cote and Thomas Goldsworthy, English seamen, for man• slaughter, in killing and slaying five Lascars, during the disturbance on board on the 22nd of July last. Mr. Jarman, of the Treasury Solicitor's-office, attended on the part of the Crown ; Mr. Humphreys, solicitor, for the European priso ners. Mr. Denison again acted as interpreter in the Malay language ; and Seaman, an ex-police constable of the H .division, officiated as interpreter in the Hindostanee lan guage. Mr. Yardley committed Ahalt and Ali to Newgate for trial, and bound over the witnesses to prosecute and give evidence in the usual manner. The Europeans were then arraigned for manslaughter. Mr. Yardley committed Captain Stooke, Northcote, and Goldsworthy for trial for manslaugh ter, and took bail for their appearance at the sessions, as before, and they were set at liberty. GREAT SALE OF ROYAL FARMING STOCK.— On Tuesday, the annual selection of live stock, the property of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, was sold by auction, at Norfolk Farm, by Messrs. Buckland and Son, and attrac ted a large attendance of butchers, graziers, and others. First in order of sale were the pigs, which realized very high prices, comparatively small hogs making from £5 to £6 each. A young boar, of the Windsor breed, was knocked down for £4 Bs. One or two breeding sows also fetched £5 17s. 6d. each. The pigs realize a d. nal,t, 2oggu thh7oniLe2-bOrOeod. The sheep consisted of 420 fat southaw ewes and lambs, with several rams. The whole were dis posed of at good but not exorbit int prices. The cattle con sisted of a remarkably fine Hereford ox, intended for the Smithfiold show, R 1 superior fat oxen and heifers, 10 fine short-horns, fit for stalling, 19 steers and heifers, six short horned heifers and cows, and two pure-bred young bulls. The dairy cows ranged from £l4 15s. to £l6 10s., the fat cows and heifers from £l5 to £22 10s. The Hereford ox (fed on cake and meal) was rually a splendid animal, and realized the large sum of £46. Thu fat short horned oxen varied from £lB 10s. to £2B each, the flee-year-old Scots from £l5 to £l7, and the four-year-olds from £lO to £l2 10s. The fat Devons ranged from £l7 to £24 10s. two-year-old short-horned 1;u11 was knocked down for M 5; an Alderney bull of the same age fetched about half the money. The total proceeds of the sale were nearly £4OOO. We might add that, since last year, great improvements have been made in the yards and premises attached to Nor folk Farm, and the arrangements for the accommodation of the company were very complete. We perceive that Mr. W. Williams, the well known estate agent has opened an additional office in the New Range, in Hackins-hey, one of the most central situations in Liverpool. This will be a great convenience to any one wishing to buy or sell property, as well as to those I who may be in want of houses to occupy, as Mr. Williams has always a list for public inspection. COUNTY C017R7 •t sat yesterday who sou to recovE damage done by the worryir , ssrs. Thomas and James Kerr -YES the usual how Knotty Ash, cattl z of their sheep by t the plaintiffs, the 19th of August last, the defendant's several of the plaintiffs' sheep, id that on the same day one of the sheep was found lying 3ad in a brook at the end of the field; that another of the sheep was torn and injured, and several of them frightened. The action was therefore brought to recover damages for the sheep killed and wounded, along with costs. Mr. Wheeler appeared for the defendant, and submitted that in order to establish his liability evidence should be given to prove that he was aware of the disposition of the dog to attack sheep, which had not been done. The evidence of the defendant and other witnesses was then given, to shew that the dog had not been in the habit of attacking sheep, and that the sheep belonging to the plaintiffs had been several times attacked by other dogs. His Honor read several authorities regarding the liability of the owners of domestic animals, such as bulls and dogs, distinguished from the liability of those who kept such animals as bears or lions, and said—l find these facts, and upon these I will look into the authorities which bear upon this case more fully. The dog did worry these sheep, killing, or assisting in killing one, injuring another, and frightening the rest. It appears that he went out with his owner that day, the owner going for lawful purposes, that he left his owner, strayed into this field, and then did the mischief which is the subject of this action. It does not appear, however, that the owner was aware of the mischievous disposition f the dog. The question now is, whether the plaintiff, under these circumstances, can recover damages. It appears, by the authorities I have read, that in order to render the owner of such an animal as a dog liable for such damages, it is required that the owner shall be shewn to be aware of his disposition for mischief ; but the question which arises in my mind is, whether these authorities are applicable to this case where the dog tres _ . Evidence was - given on behalf C to shew - that durin doz had been seen el:min aware of the mischievous disposition of the dog, and the plaintiff must therefore be non-suited. But if, on the other band, it appears that the owner of a dog, who allows him to stray into the • land of another, is answerable for the damage he may do; the case will then be established. If I find a verdict at all, it will, however, be only for a small amount.—Mr. Wheeler : That is subject to the question raised.—His Honor : Subject to the question raised, which is one that deserves very serious consideration. I will give my judgment on Monday morning. CHILTON V. MOB ILRLY AND Co.—This was an action brought by Mr. Chilton, Solicitor, against Messrs. Mober ley and Okell, for the rent of rooms and offices belonging to him and occupied by them.—Mr. Aspinall appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Blair with Mr. 'lime for the defendant. The action li;d reference to two separate sets of chambers, one set at £4O a-year, and the other at £lO a-year. A verdict was entered by consent for the amount claimed as due on the latter, the former claim to be decided by future proceedings. MME STATIONERY FOR PUBLIC DEPARTMENTS. — III the year ended the sth of January, the expense of providing stationery for the public departments, was £254,410, against £166,916 in the previous year. THE CRYSTAL PALACE AT SYDENHADI.—The works _igantic building at Sydenham appear to progress rapidly, and the shell of the building is so far advanced to wards completion, that the contractors, Messrs. Fox and Henderson, have undertaken to surrender it to the company in a finished state at Christmas. It appears that the accident which lately occurred near Hamm, on the Westphalian Railway, in Prussia, was caused by a second locomotive, which was sent to assist that rsons injure( Another, a post-office clerk, - was so dreadfully led, by being thrown violently against a table in the )ffice van, that it is feared he cannot recover. las died; he was a prc ssor at 1 lIVED CLYDE 4,11,1.1 at noon, Mr. Robert Smith, who has proposed a plan for the removal of the sewage from the Clyde, made . a second public experiment of his scheme in presence of the Magi strates, several members of the Town Council, and other official gentlemen, who, we understand, expressed themselves highly favourable to the project.—North British Daily Mail. . BIRMINGHAM BOROUGFI GAOL. - At the quarter sessions for Birmingham, held on Wednesday, Mr. G. W. Hillyard, the Governor of Nottingham County Gaol, was unanimously elected governor of the Birmingham Borough Gaol, in the room of Lieutenant Austin, resigned. No andidate was proposed Ir. Hillyrd was formerly )f Pentonville Penitentiary, and for nine years deputy governor of Stafford Gaol. His testimonials were stated to be of the very highest character. JUDGES' CLERKS.—lnsteact ot tees, the Juabeo• clerks are now paid by salaries. The three associates to the chief Judges have each £l,OOO a-year ; the three senior clerks to the associates, each £150; the three junior clerks to the associates, each £lOO ; the principal clerks to the three chief Judges, each £7OO a-year ; the principal clerks to the other twelve Judges, each 600 ; and the other clerks of the chief and puisne Judges, 18 in number, £4OO a-year each. ILLEGALITY OF OMNIBUS ADVERTISTNG.—In addi tion to the informations that have hitherto been laid against omnibus proprietors for evading the directions of the new Act of Parliament in regard to lighting a lamp in the interior of vehicle at night time, more inrormatiOns have yet to be heard by the magistrates on account of the same parties persisting in exhibiting placards or advertisements upon the panels of their vehicles and also in the interior of the same, such a practice being prohibited by the new law now in operation.— Globe. THE APPLE CROP IN THE WEST.—A vast increase has of late years taken place in the quantity of cider made in the West of England. Particular attention has been paid to it in Devonshire, and its quality has been much improved. The crop of apples this season has been more than an aver age ; in fact, in some parts they have been exceedingly abundant. In the neighbourhood of Exeter, and in the south of Devon, the trees in many orchards arc almost broken down with them. Cider is expected, therefore, to be more than usually cheap. TREASURES SUNK AT NAVARINO.—The Official Gazette of Savoy states that an inhabitant of Chamberry has just quitted that place to attempt, in concert with a company organized for that purpose, to save some contents of the vessels which were sunk at the battle of Navarino, particularly the Admiral's ship, a three-decker, which, it is said, had on board, at the time she went down, a sum of 6,900,000 f. in gold. All the necessary apparatus have been embarked, a number of divers have been engaged, and, in addition to the ordinary diving-bells, all the recent inven- tions for such purposes will be flit in requisition THE PROPERTY TAX.—The 10th of October last closed all demands for deductions on over charges for the previous years. It is worthy of remark that in the present assessments for the various parishes, townships, and hun dreds, collectors, when appointed, are required to find security for the due fulfilment of their office, because in case of any defalcation by them, the parishes and townships will have to be re-assessed for such defalcations. It is cense itiently not the duty, but the interest of the inhabitants to ee that all due precautions are observed in this regard for he public protection. MOCKING BIRD.—A fine and healthy male bird of his species is now in the possession of Mr. John Richard ion, dentist, Saville-street. In its warblings it pours forth delicious stream of song, composed of notes of the nightingale, the thrush, the blackbird, and the lark, without the shrillness of the canary. Behr an inhabitant of the torrid climes of America, it is with' the greatest difficulty this delicate bird can be brought alive to England ; but Cap tain Hunter, of the Royal Victoria, of Hull, has, by great care and attention succeeded in bringing over from New Orleans this beautiful song bird. In its wild state the male bird has the singular power of imitating most of the songs of other wild birds—hence its name of the mocking bird.— Hull Advertiser. LOSSES AT SEA IN THE RECENT GALES.—The port of Inverness has been unfortunatly lately, and in the recent gales, there has, we regret to say, been a further loss of shipping and life. The schooner Isabella, belonginc , to Bailie Lawrence, sailed from Sunderland on Saturday, the 24th ultimo, with a cargo of lime. The Vine, of Arbroath, and a third vessel sailed at the same time. Next day, in a hurricane the Vine was wrecked, but the crew were saved, and they reported having seen the Isabella and the other vessel founder, with all on board. The master, mate, and one of the seamen of the Isabella have each left families, all residing in Merkinch, Inverness. The ship was partially insured. The Edinburgh steamers on Friday morning last, were detained in Cromarty Bay, under shelter of the Sutors, until Friday evening, the Martello having returned from Burghead. The fishermen of Nairn have sustained some Three large fishing boats were beached off the port and a fourth totalrywreeka The shore boat of the steamer Queen was also wrecked, and her cargo of valuable goods damaged.—lnverness Courier. THE WAGES MOVEMENT AT BURY.—Considerable anxiety is now manifested in consequence of recent proceed ings connected with the wages movement. The weavers in the employ of Mr.°J. R. Kay, of Bass-lane House, have been "locked out" because they persist ed in their determi nation to assist the weavers on strike. About 200 weavers, in the employ of Mr. Alcock, Free Town, ceased working on Saturday last. About 250 of the weavers in the employ of ML. John Walker, Bnry-bridge, are at present on strike for an achwane of 10 per cent. Mr. Walker had previously given the advamt but as his conduct had not been followed by the other masterb, he gave notice to his hands that he should reduce them t? the itmnier standard ; and, to resist the proposed reduction, the wea-frs turned out. The weavers in the employ of Mr. Fish tuimed out, but after wards returned to work, having a promise of advance. The weavers in the employ of Mr. Howarth have turned out, in consequence of notice being given that the recent ad vance of 10 per cent. would be taken off. A portion of the weavers in the employ of Messrs. Proctor and Evans have also turned out. uence ( RECEIPT STAMP. been oil ,ertained THE NEW n cons, New Stamp Act, the following queries were submitted by a firm in the City points connected with thi .the purchase of goods for money over the shop or elsewhere, where no bill is desired or re a stamped receipt should the purchase ex- counter of "2.

W. Wilbraham, by direction of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, .has given the annexed replies : " 1.

Verdict, " Accidental death." THE COAL AND IRON TRADE—The coal trade is remarkably brisk, and everything that is drawn out of the pits is eagerly seized upon by parties who are waiting at the wharves. The indefinite statements in the daily papers, which say, " the coal colliers are on the strike," cause a great confusion, as such is not strictly the fact, and much inconvenience occurs to parties who see the reports, and come from a distance to Dudley and the surrounding dis tricts to know when they are likely to commence work again, when, to their astonishment, they find other colliers at work west of Dudley—which fact should be distinctly stated by all the reports prepared for the press, in order that it may not be misled itself, nor mislead others. The ironmasters have held their quarterly meetings this week, which have been well attended, and the prices agreed upon are to remain the same as they were last quarter, viz :—Bars, £9; rails, £io; and sheet, £ll per ton ; hot blast mine pigs are fetching £4 7s. 6d., and cold blast, £4 17s. 6d. ; and good ironstone 19s. per ton. They have, at their quarterly meetings, also unanimously agreed to resist any attempts on the part of the thick coal colliers, thin coal, and stone men, for an ad vance of wages.— Wolverhampton Herald. 313irtbil, Otarriagol, aiZ i' tatb4.
