I have perused the dreary details ; how could they be other than dreary ? darkness much, and thick ribbed ice, are no great conamunicators,--“ On the morning of the 29th of July we found a barrier of ice, stretching from shore to shore, and which evidently had never broken away this season. We followed its edge for several miles, in the hope of finding a lane through, but were eventually obliged to bear up for Dundas Harbour, in Croker Bay, there to await a change," and so on, with little alteration, is the burden of the despatches. I suppose the " gentlemen of England, who live at home at ease," as the ballad hath it, will not be much disconcerted to find these ice hummocks named after the admiralty authorities, " MELVILLE Sound," " DIINDA.B Harbour, " and " CHOKER " Harmless vanity !

The illustrations are neat and sharply executed, unlike the heavy ones in Bleak House, which by the way, I may mention, cost somewhere about £3O a number, i.e., £l5 a piece, no bad pay for HARLOT BROWNE. In matters theatrical I have little or nothing to com municate. BROOKE is filling Drury-lane theatre, the les see having paid the American's " man and horse" one hundred pounds for two weeks as the keep of the latter, in order to give the tragedian the use of the stage. In dramatic circles it is considered that BROOKE does not act a wise part, in leaving England for California. For example. Remaining in England, he has searcely any one to contend with ; he will necessarily, if he play at all, play before dis- criminating, if not always severely critical, audiences; he has an " improveable" mind, this is evident from the hints he has already adopted, so that playing in the United Kingdom he has the prospect of raising his art, by his improvement as an artist. If he go to California, escaping the dangers of the voyage, the still more to be dreaded place itself,—when he has reached it, he must act, not according to his taste and judgment,—he must play up, or down,—they are both the same,—to uneducated, gross, and boisterous audiences; in short, he must rant, "tear a passion to tatters." He will be hooted else, by the men and women who throw down a paper-full of gold dust or two or three nuggets for admission ; I am told they are not nice about " legal tenders" and such stuff. The de velopment of deeper and darker shades of Shakspeare's great characters, the nice touches—points—in Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth, Richard, will be pearls before swine in California. BROOKE must " rant, ' if he choose to please. This will be fatal to his future success here, — should he return. He requires a severe, a chastening audience, to repress every tendency to the vice referred to; a severe, judicious, learned, chastening, yet kind audience, to eliminate the effulgent, the undoubted qualities which he possesses. He may return with fifteen thousand pounds sterling under his girdle, he cannot return a better artist. Let us leave BROOKE, and be more discursive— ' even on " matters theatrical." "About this time," to quote theveritable words of the cele brated quack of our boyish reading days —FRANCIS MOORE —about this time there is a great accession of bile in the dramatic body of the metropolis. Managers and proud lessees have either been starring, like BIICKSTONE or CHARLEY MATHEWS, or " enjoying a little repose and country air"—every one of these words pronounced with a self-sufficient drawl as broad as Oxford-street. The repose and good air manager is one of the well-to-do sort. I Talk of authors alone belonging to the genus irritabile ; I know managers of theatres—have known others—who could fritter into impalpability all the authors, gramma rians, writers, from PEISCIAN to G(EORGE,) P(rince) R(egent), JAMES, or LEIGH HUNT. Well, our theatrical demigods have returned to town, to kick actors as stock fish in their—the managers'—efforts to please the public. CHARLES KEAN is going to stick to " Sardanapalus," with his " drinking cup of the period." CHARLES KEAN is bidding fair to have his theatre like the cart of THESPIS —two performers and an auxiliary. He will not have any one who gains, in the legitimate exercise of his or her • talent, a breath of applause. Hence WIGAN, WRIGHT, WYNNE—I might alliterate the alphabet—had to leave. A good actor enough—l believe he is now at Drury-lane— ! appeared in a suit of armour at the Princess's, took well in it, was applauded ; straightway he was taken by the gorge, and told that the applause was not bestowed ou him, but on "my armour." BEN Winisruu is about the best-natured manager we have. BUCKSTONE is good enough, but deaf and fulgetty ; he is " very intelligent," because, though he don't hear a word you say to him in his coulisse, he an swers exactly. A warm letter of introduction from an old friend will get a " muff" an engagement from WEBSTER— pIay a night or two, and then necessarily shelved; salary paid all the time. Having more hands than were re , quired, was one of the reasons he gave up the Haymarket. BIICKY is more careful of the money; though not stingy, he is not profuse. CHARLES MATHEWS, son of my in dent friend and brother-cripple, like Skimpole you be lieve there is such a thing as a ten-pound note,—suppose it is necessary,—bufwheffier it be better or worse than a five, you neither know nor care. CHARLES MATHEWS rarely falls out with his actors. They do with him. Enough. I speak not here of his accomplished sposa ; not but that she has got plenty of spice left.

ONE of the most terrible catastrophes that it has been our lot to record for some time occurred on Wednesday, the 28th ult., when the emigrant ship Annie Jane, Mason commander, belonging to Liverpool, was driven ashore on the iron-bound coast of Barra Island, during the recent g women no fewer than 34 —met with a watery g Liverpool on Wednesday, the 23d of August, for Quebec and Montreal, with a cargo of tea, rice, pepper, a large quantity of iron, principally for railways, soap, cordage, anchors, and other valuable merchandise, and 415 emi grants, exclusive of infants, of whom 337 were steerage passengers. On the 25th she met with a heavy gale, and, owing to the bad stowing of her cargo, rolled so heavily to windward that she carried away her fore and mizen topmasts. The passengers then begged the captain to put back to Liverpool, which he did. She sailed again •on the 9th ult., and on the 12th, at four, p.m., met another gale, which car ried away her fore and mizen topmasts and lower mast heads; they then had to cut away the jibboom to clear the ship of the wreck. She lay to for two days, and they rigged a jury foreyard, set a sail upon it, and, at the re newed solicitation of the passengers, the captain again put back for Liverpool ; but, when night came on, he put the ship about for Quebec. On this becoming evident next day there was a great sensation among the passen gers, and they remonstrated with the captain, who is said to have replied, " Quebec or the bottom ! and a bullet for the man who offers to take charge !" On the 21st they fell in with another gale, and lost the maintopsail, main yard, and had to cut away the maiutopmast, the ship rolling so much that the chain cable was dashed from one side of the deck to the other, making a noise like thunder, which, mingled with the shrieks of the passengers, was fearful. One of the seamen, a Canadian, had his legs broken by getting them entangled with the chain. They then continued drifting, as the ship was nearly unmanageable in such a gale, until the night of the 28th, when they sighted the island of Barra, and the captain, seeing that the ship must go ashore, steered for a small sandy bay, where she struck about twenty minutes past twelve, at first lightly, and then so heavily that the bottom parted from the top sides, the pas sengers screaminc , dreadfully the whole of the time. Another huge breaker struck on her quarter and the poop deck sank, crushing some 200 emigrants to death. In ten minntes more the ship was in pieces. It was most heartrending to hear the shrieks of 300 human beings struggling for life. The poop's deck by this time floated, and 100 of the emigrants and sailors found standing room on this fragment ; many of them perished with cold or were smothered under the trampling of others. About day-break the tide ebbed and left the fragment high and dry, when 102 walked ashore, 348 having been drowned or killed in fifteen minutes the previous night. The bulk of the emigrants were from Scotland, a good number from Ireland, some Germans, and a few French. The ship's crew were Canadians, except six taken in at Liverpool. Ten sailors and the mate, all Canadians, were drowned. The boatswain, from Dumbarton, on the Clyde, was also drowned. All the survivors speak with the highest praise of the conduct of the boatswain. Of the passengers and emigrants on board 66 were saved, including 15 women, one of whom rescued her infant child four months old, one of twins, the other being washed out of her arms and lost. The captain and about 35 of the crew escaped, the first mate being lost. There were about 20 cabin passengers ; among these some Swiss gentlemen. Of the passengers eight were lost, including Captain Rose and his wife. Captain Rose was on his way to take charge of a ship for the owners of the Annie Jane. Before the sailors left the island 250 dead bodies had been recovered and buried upon the island ; among these were the bodies of Captain Rose and his lady. The shipwrecked sailors arrived at Tobermory on Mon day in the sloop Maria, and were taken care of by the agent of that excellent institution, the Fishermen's Ship wreck Society, and had a free passage given them by the owners of the Chevalier. Many of the emigrants were natives of Ireland, one of those, a young lad, has lost 15 of his relatives in the wreck. Captain Hall, who was visiting the Western Islands for the purpose of establishing sailors' homes, found the un fortunate shipwrecked crew at Tobermory (Island of mull). They all were present at the meeting, when ar rangements were immediately made to establish a sailors' home. A large sum was subscribed, and a committee ap pointed to carry it out, The names of the passengers who have arrived at Tober mory, are John Kingston, county of Cork ; George, bro ther to the former; Timothy Dineur, county of Cork; James Edmiston, county of Antrim ; Alexander M'Cor mick, county of Armagh ; Martha Tevanning, county of Cork, and some French Canadians. The crew are James Boyd, James Marshall, Charles Carroll, of Bay Chaleur. Thomas Gemmel, Joseph Miller, Antonio Ligett, Charles Burdon, James Wood, and Charles Burnett. THE CHOLERA IN LIVERPOOL In the Standard of Tuesday last we made the unwelcome announcement, that several fatal cases of cholera had oc curred in Liverpool—at that time, so far as was known, confined to ei. Boston, in the 1 ts, chiefly German and Irish, who had ;her from taking her departure fr intimated that the Isaac W which had sailed from Liverpool on the 20th ult., with 600 emigrants on board, had met with a serious disaster on the south coast of Ireland, which compelled her to re turn here, and that she had, in the coarse of the pre vious afternoon, been seen off' Holyhead, in tow of a steam vessel While communicating tha intelligence, we were unaware of one very serious and fatal disaster which had overtaken the passengers of that unfortunate vessel. She was brought into Liverpool at an early hour on Tuesday morning, and the information was then conveyed, that cholera, in a malignant form, had broken out among her passengers —that during her brief voyage forty-seven of her inmates, having died, were consigned to the deep ; that, at the time of her arrival in Liverpool, she had three dead bodies on board, victims to the disease, and which were interred immediately on bein g brought on shore ; that many other passengers were labouring under its effects, three of whom died in course of being conveyed to the hospital, at the workhouse on Brownlow-hill ; and that nearly all of the emigrants were in a most miserable and wretched state. With the least possible delay the crew and passengers were landed, and with very few ex ceptions conveyed to the workhouse, in which five of them died shortly after their admission, forty-three patients, from among the Isaac Wright's passengers, remaining under treatment on Tuesday afternoon. Up to the same time twenty-four deaths had occurred in the hospital, among the passengers belonging to the Silas Greenman. Every possible accommodation and kindness were afforded to those unfortunate strangers by the governor and the other officials at the workouse ; and all the means which medical science and philanthropy could suggest for alleviating the distress of the sufferers, were speedily applied ; still, as must be obvious, the sudden and unex pected arrival of such a number of individuals, occasioned no ordinary strain upon the resources of the workhouse, and the attention of its officers and servants ; and not withstanding the utmost zeal of all parties, it was a work of great difficulty and labour, as well as no small risk, to classify and accommodate so unlooked-for and large an accession of inmates. Throughout the day on Tuesday, the shed, covering the carriage entrance to the workhouse, presented an unusual and strikingly distressing appear ance, both sides of the way being so filled up with the chests, bedding, and other luggage, belonging to the pas sengers from the Isaac Wright, as to leave but a narrow alley between them, while a crowd of the passengers themselves, of both sexes, and of varying age, clung about, or loitered among the heaps, exhibiting in their coun tenances a singular mixture of anxiety and listlessness. On Wednesday and the following days many of those parties were permitted to leave the workhouse, and they, along with their luggage, were located in various lodging houses throughout the town ; but up to Saturday evening this entrance to the workhouse continued encumbered with property belonging to the returned or dead emigrants from the Isaac Wright. What may be the ultimate re sults of such a dispersion of those visitants among the in habitants it is impossible to tell, and no easy matter even to conjecture ; one thing, however, is certain, and that is, several of them have been brought back to the hospital from their lodgings, labouring under symptoms of cholera, although they were seemingly free from disease at the time of their departure, and some of the cases have proved fatal. One matter occurring in connexion with these unfortu nate events, and calling loudly for remark; is the utter want of preparation of any kind, on the part of our autho rities, to meet the exigencies of such a calamity as that encountered on board the Isaac Wright, and, at the same time, provide for the safety of the town, and the health of the inhabitants. On the Thursday preceding the return of that vessel, cholera was -known—officially reported, indeed—to have broken out to a serious extent, in an emigrant ship about to leave the docks. On thOdiscovery being made, her numerous passengers were immediately landed, and the sick among them instantly transferred to the hospital at the Workhouse, on Browulow-hill, where it ought never to have been necessary to receive such cases, and among these patients many fatal results had occurred ; yet on the coming of the vast influx of diseased strangers by the Isaac Wright being announced, we find there was still no other asylum for them but such as could be improvised for the occasion in the Brownlow hill Workhouse. Nay, on their approach being made known, we are told "the rooms intended for their recep tion were WHITEWASHED, and comfortable beds PEE PAREDfor them I" For the tardiness of this preparation we cannot think the workhouse authorities are to blame ; on the contrary, they seem entitled to high commendation for the alacrity with which they made themselves and the means at their disposal available for so urgent and distressing an emergency. Surely, however, the ques tions, Why so late ? why so unprepared ? require some explanation from the Health Committee. The approach of cholera to our shores has been a matter patent to all the world for months past—its actual and fatal presence in our island has for several weeks been notorious throughout the kingdom—the probability of its arrival in this town has been discussed at the weekly meetings of that body whose peculiar province it is to watch over the health of the community—its positive outbreak among the ships in our harbour found them quite unprepared. Hasty and panic directed efforts Were, no doubt, made to meet the first emergency, by converting a portion of the workhouse into a lazaretto ; but after the lapse of several days, during all of which deaths were occurrinc , from the distemper, a second crowd of pestilence-stricken strangers are landed on our piers, seeking commiseration, shelter, and relief; and the only place yet discovered for their reception is once more the workhouse, and even that in an unprepared con dition ! Is this course of proceeding an indication of that vigilance which the inhabitants of Liverpool have a right to demand at the hands of her rulers ? These gentlemen, as a body, are armed with powers amply sufficient to pro vide means for meeting such a contingency as the one now under consideration; they are presumed to possess infor mation equal to the requirements of such emergencies— the public advantage derived from their exercise of those powers, and the application of quit knowledge, has been the huddling and hurrying operations we have vainly endeavoured to convey an idea of at Brownlow-hill. In the meantime it is gratifying to know that the daily returns from district medical officers do not indicate any present tendency among our resident population towards that scourge which oftener than once during the last quarter of a century has swept over the world, leaving mourning and desolation in its track ; but if there be any value in segregating the sick from the healthy, or if any safety is to be obtained by isolating parties or substances who have been exposed to the contagious influence of cholera from those who have been brought within the sphere of its action, the Health Committee of Liverpool have not, as yet, laid the community under obligation to them for carrying such precautionary measures into effect. Since the commencement of the disease up to last night at 9 p.m., there have occurred fifty-two deaths, — of these, one too place yesterday. In the course of yesterday eight new cases were admitted into the hospital, seven of these being Germans, and one an Irish boy, from the ship Emma Field. Among the fatal cases which occurred on Sunday, we regret to learn that one was from Wright street, Scotland-road. It is only fair to add that Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co., agents for the vessel, have evinced the most lively desire to mitigate the sufferings of the patients by the Isaac Wright, and have signified their intention to provide fresh sea-stores for the unfortunate emigrants, and to make good any loss of clothing among the female passengers. They will also give £2 2s. to every man who assisted at the pumps. It was alleged that the surgeon and portions of the crew, particularly a black cook, greatly aggravated the sufferings of the sick and helpless by the brutality of their behaviour; and it was rutaoured that Captain Schomberg, the Government emi gration-officer at Liverpool, was about to lay the matter before the magistrates ; but the manner in which Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co., to whom the conduct of a mixed crew under peculiarly trying circumstances is in no way chargeable, have come to the relief of the emigrants, has satisfied their requirements ' and the matter will not, as we understand, come before the public in an official form. Most of them are what are termed " pre-paid pas sengers," i.e., their passages have been paid for them by their friends. PETER M`GOVERNA.N was, on Saturday, at the Police court, fined 10s. and costs for dealing in marine stores at the docks without a license. ' Jon RIMMER was, at the Police-court, on Saturday, committed to prison for fourteen days, for stealing two bottles of rum, belonging to Mr. Bushell, from a transit shed at the Prince's Dock. THE PENSIONEES.—This gullant corps of veterans assembled . yesterday, for six days' drill, under Col. Swan. They manoeuvre at the barracks in Birch-field, Islington, on the same ground as the militia artillery. SIR. JAMES MATESON, M.P., it is rumoured, is to be raised to the peerage by the title of Lord Stornoway, and is to he succeeded in the representation of Ross and Cromarty by Mr. Matheson, of Ardross—who, it is said, is to be created a baronet. JAMES BURNS, labourer, aged twenty-five, was walking with a fellow-labourer by St. Thomas's Church, Park-lane, when a stream of blood suddenly gushed out of his mouth. He was conveyed to his house, 49 Court, Tredwell-street, where he died before assistance could be procured. The deceased was an inveterate drinker, and the jury returned a verdict of " Died from the effects of bursting a blood vessel, caused by excessive drinking." LIBELS.—At the Bow-street Police-court, on Friday, the Rev. Wade Martin Meara, a clergyman, was committed for trial, on a charge of having circulated a malicious libel upon the characters of the Hon. Craven Fitzhardinge Berkeley, M.P., and his wife Charlotte, who is sister to the defendant's wife. The defendant was likewise said to have annoyed a Mr. Chamberlain, of Otterbourne, who had also married a sister of his wife. have much pleasure in noticing the distinguished honour just acquired by our townsman, Mr. Matthew Collins, -of the Mechanics' Institute, whose ingenious Theorem on the figure of the earth, has been deemed, by pamphlet on Attractions, and on Claeraut's celebrated the Royal Society of London, worthy of publication in their "Transactions," and from which an abstract has been copied into the London, Dublin and Edinburgh Philosophical Magazine for the present month. COUNTY REGISTRATION.—The revision of the list of voters for the Southern Division of Lancaster was com menced yesterday, before W. Forsyth, Esq., and P. A. lickerinP.. Esq., the revising barristers. The proceedings The list for presented no features of particular interest. - Liverpool will be taken to-day. TESTIMONIAL OF RESPECT.—The ladies connected with St. Silas's Church have presented a very handsome set of robes to the Rev. William H. Duck, chaplain of the Royal Infirmary; with an address expressive of their high ap preciation of the faithful and zealous manner in which h e l a boured whilst curate of St. Silas :s Church, for nearly three years ; and with earnest desires for his continued usefulness in the ministry of the Gospel. We understand the robes were made by Messrs. Dodgson, of Lord-street, and are fully ecitud to guy we ilitYO 4Vell fro= (Word Oa 14141911. aat he would d sions, and even t latest reports give no positive information on the subject. The Funds, on the first report being received, gave way considerably, but soon after wards rallied, and have since been less sensibly affected, as the opinion is gaining ground that the electric telegraph is being used for mere stock jobbing purposes. The returns of the Bank of England showed another diminution in the stock of bullion, notwithstanding the large receipts from Australia ; but the decrease was not so extensive as for several previous weeks. On Saturday a notice was issued that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer had increased the interest on Exchequer Bills from id. to 2d. per day, from the 11th of October. This doubling of the interest had the effect which might have been anticipated, of raising Exchequer Bills from a heavy discount to aboit ss. premium. The other Funds have also slightly improved, owing chiefly to the absence of positively unfavourable news. We cannot yet notice any sensible impros ement in ordinary mercantile transactions, owing to the same causes which have produced the stagnation now of some weeks' duration. The statements from the East, whether true or false, have no tendency to induce speculation, and business is consequently confined to demands for ordinary consumption. This is particularly the case in the manufacturing districts, where the turn-out of the operatives creates a new element in the question of future prices, and where, also, the high price of the raw-material, which has ruled for some time, tends still further to check speculation. Reports are, therefore, almost unanimous in their statements of dulness, and the absence of any new feature upon which to offer any comments. Our SHARE MARKET has been very steady all week, with the fluctuations less marked than during the previous week. The indisposition of the public to sell, notwithstanding the many rumours afloat, causes stock to be very scarce, and it is with difficulty that any large order can be executed. For the settlement just approaching much stock is wanted to supply speculative sales, and the bear gentry will have either to buy back at a higher rate, or pay what is called a back, for the loan of the stock. Local shares are very steady.— Caledonians, 244 ; East Lancashire, 151 ; Lanca shire and Yorkshire, 63 1 ; London Stock, 103 ; Ditto Fifths, par ; Midland Stock, 60 4 i 1 60 594 i 2 ; North British, 61 ; Dover Stock, 178 15-16 -I 11-16 a ; Royal Insurance, lip. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the Ist of Oct., gives the following results, when compared with the previous week : Public deposits ... £6,738,755; Increase £26,490 Other deposits ... 11,885,565; Increase 1,046,380 Rest ... ... 3,682,113; Increase 16,532 On the other side of the account— Government securities £12,339,083; the same as before. Other securities ... 19,124,799; Increasel,9Bl,s76 Notes unemployed ... 6,258,520; Decrease 871,915' The amount of notes in circulation is £22,773,375, being an increase of £831,930 ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £15,612,562, showing a decrease of £68,221, when compared with the preceding return. The returns of the Board of Trade for the month ending sth of September, again show a considera ble increase, not only on the amount of exports of British produce and manufactures, but also on the quantities of Foreign provisions taken for home consumption. Upon the exports the increase is no less than £1,426,500 on the month, or £11,149,583 on the eight months of the year as compared with the corresponding period of the previoirs year. The principal items of increase are as follow : Month ending 4th Sept., 1852. Metals 1,014,319 1853. 1,564,465 Increase. 550,146 Cotton manufactures 1,940,734. Haberdashery, &c.... 265,613.

The increase in the Export of Metals is owing to the demand for railway iron, chiefly for the United States, and the other articles are such as are usually exported to Australia. As regards importation there is a large increase on the month's consumption of most of the princi pal articles, such as— 1852. Wheat, quarters ...... 352,451. Butter and Cheese, cwts 53,710. Eggs, No. 7,632,778. Coffee, lbs. 2,676,55 7. Sugar, cwts.

There has also been an increase on the imports of Dye stuffs, foreign manufactures, and most articles, with the exception of Timber, which shows no particular variation. The returns of Shipping again show an increase, both on vessels entered inwards and cleared out wards, but the great increase is, as before, on Foreign Shipping, while that on British vessels is comparatively trifling, as will be seen by the fol lowing statement of tonnage : ENTERED INWARDS. Month endedsth September. • 1852. 1853. 485,861 tons 495,225 2 5 5,849 ......424,241 CLEARED OUTWARDS: British vessels Foreignvessels Increase. .. 9,364 ..168,392 British vessels 466,207 485,648 19,441 Foreign vessels 269,277 319,935....... 50,658 Upon the Coasting Trade there is an increase in the tonnage entered inwards of 1,043,980 to 1,061,435, and on that cleared outwards a decrease from 1,166,415 to 1,133,231. Corros.—The continuance of the strike amongst the operatives, the temporary cessation of ship ments to Australia, and the high rate of interest which still prevails in the money market, have ope rated to confine transactions within very narrow limits, and prices of middling may be quoted about 1-16 d. decline. This dulness prevailed all last week, but TO-DAY there was a better feeling,owing in some measure to the accounts brought by the Niagara. The sales amounted to about 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 were on speculation and for export, and prices, particularly for fair qualities, were firmer—being about id. dearer than the lowest prices of last week. The following is a comparison of present prices with those of the corresponding period last year _ _ - 1852. 1853 , New Orleans, middling 5 * Fair 6i} Uplands, midddling 6 i 6 Fair.. 6k It will be seen that while middling and inferior qualities are td. to I,d. lower than last year, fair is id. dearer. PRODUCE.-With the exception of the Tallow market, .which has been in an excited state, owing to the rumours of war with the Russians, and Rice, which sold largely, the Produce market generally was quiet last week, Teas, however, maintaining full prices. TO-DAY there has been more disposi tion evinced to purchase Sugar, and, including Sa turday's sales, the business comprises 350 hhd.s. Demerara at 325. 6d: to 345., 800 bags Dates at 345. 6d. to 365., 330 bags grainy Bengal at 375. 6d. to 405., and 40 brls. Porto Rico at 38s. to 395. 3d. per cwt. 120 puns. St. Vincent Molasses (indirect) are reported at 16s. 6d. per cwt. from the quay. The sales in Rum are confined to 25 puns. Deme rara at previous rates. Of Coffee, 120 bags St. Domingo have been sold at 445. per cwt. The Tea market is firm, and we have to report some few sales at previous rates. There has again been a large business done in Arracan Rice, nearly 21,000 bags having changed hands since Friday, at 11s. 9d. per cwt. We have also to notice 20 chests Shell .Lac at 48s. per cwt., and 30 hhds. Cocoa-Nut Oil at £47 per tun. . Wool.—the reports from all the manufacturing districts are very flat, and anything like animation has ceased to exist in this market since the close of the public sales last month ; there is little or no Inquiry for any description, and until political mat ters wear a more peaceable aspect, we cannot ex pect to see much doing, prices generally a shade lower. Imports for the week 2,196 bales, viz., 1,173 East India : 144 Portugal; 493 Mediterranean Ports ; 18 Bue - aos Ayres ; 12 Irish ; 265 Scotch; and 91 Coastwise. In Yorkshire a mere retail busi ness is being done, and in order to effect large pals, much low ato wud be oubmittcd UPI LLANDUDNO IMPROVEMENTS. TUE little village of Llandudno, which within the last few years has become a favourite bathing-place, is per haps one of the most picturesque spots on the coast of Wales, and, from its convenient distance from Liverpool, bids fair to become a place of general resort. One of the curiosities is an enormous cavern, which was discovered by the copper miners in Oct. 1849, and supposed to be the work of the ancient Romans, as benches, stone ham mers, &c., were found entire, and even mutton bones. The church dedicated to St. Tudno is situate near the summit of the Great Orme's Head, and a new church has also been erected. Under the south-west side of Llandudno rock is the shell of a large mansion, which, centuries ago, was a palace belonging to the Bisnop of BANGOR; thence, along the steep sides of the elevated down, the visitor may proceed for about two miles to the end of the pro montory. Here the rocks are for the most part perpen dicular and of amazing height. The deep and beautiful bay is within three hours' sail or rail of Liverpool, and some commodious and elegant houses now stud the vil lage. It is intended to erect a pier and establish steamers between the village and Liverpool ; and it will be seen by our advertising columns that, last week, a public meeting was held, at which it was 'unanimously agreed to petition Parliament for a local act to provide for the improvement of the town. The act will embrace the watching, lighting, paving, sewage, supply of water, construction of cemetery, and other general improvements. From the number of Druidical remains and British antiquities in the neighbour hood, there is no doubt that Llandudno will be largely resor ted to bythe antiquary as well as the lover of the picuresque The Carnatvon Herald states 'that the proposed har bour of refuge between the Great and Little Orme's Heads, for the construction of which a bill was obtained by a company at the last session, is to proceeded with imme diately. From the statement of Mr. W. H. Goodwin, who attended the Admiralty, inquiry, on behalf of the pro moters, it appears that Llandudno Bay is formed by na ture for a harbour, being expansive, deep, free from rocks, and having excellent holding ground, lying in the direct route to Liverpool, between Holyhead and that port : be ing the only deep-water bay on that coast, it offers the only available point for a harbour Of refuge 'for vessels caught in northerly and northwesterly gales to run for shelter ; it would be accessible in almost all winds, and at any state of the tide, without a _pilot, and would be the only har bour on the coast without a bar. When the wind is from the north to west; (the case the greater part of the' year,) and the most dangerous for outward-bound ships, vessels brought in by stress of weather could be towed round Point Lynas and the Skerries Rocks by a steamer. and put in their course down Channel, thus saving much time and expense. It was proposed, in the first instance, after testing the plan, to form a timber breakwater, , on the recoil principle, invented by Mr. Smith, and for which be has received the Royal Exhibition Medal, and the medals of the engineers, and other societies, as well as the thanks of the Chambers of Commerce of Liverpool and Manchester. It has, however; since been determined that the work shall be of a more durable character by being constructed of stone, for procuring which the neighbour hood affords ample facilities. A-dock of about forty acres is intended to be formed inside the breakwater. WAVERTREE LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH. . . LAST, NIGHT themonthly meeting of the board was held in the public offices, Wavertree, the Rei. W. Badnall, chairman of the board, presiding. There were also present Messrs. Hill, Anderton, Davis, 'Witham, Gore, Chaffer, and Risliton. The business took principally a conversational turn, in the course of which, complaint was made as to the dilatoriness exhibited in completing the sewer in the main street. • The board remarked that although they consi dered Mr. Blaikely. the contractor, had not proceeded so quickly with his operations as they had reason to think be-ought to have done, still they were led to believe that his progress had been materially delayed in consequence of the engineer not having attended to direct the work as had been fixed on. It was also said that several individuals had expeenced much inconvenience in consequence of Mr. .131aikely not having removed the soil in some instances. It was resolved to intimate these facts to Mr. Blaikely, and to remind him that the termination of his contract, the Ist of November, was near at hand. Letters were read from several gentlemen, complaining of defective drainage ; among others, a note was read from Mr. Quail, stating that the old Chapel, in Waterloo - str ee t , was injured in its foundations by water, which should be removed by drainage. The note con cluded by a suggestion that the chapel might be taken by the board as an hospital, at £3O a year, "these cholera times." The Board directed all those letters to be courteously an us was agreed on, by some of the members, an swered, e in re vs d . , ri v t e in rb g al4, the clerk. ,Some conversation next ensued as to the propriety of erecting public lamps in courts; but after a short consideration, it was resolved that the Board could not interfere in the matter. —The Chairman then di rected the attention of the Board to a recently issued regulation of the Prescot district magistrates, relative to the clearance of middens. He remarked that under that regula tion parties bad proceeded to clear out pig-styes and other nuisances during the day. He instanced a case in which he had himself been exposed to considerable annoyance in Cow lane. On inquiry he found that the nuisance lie complained of was made on the understanding that it was necessary to comply with the order issued by the magistrates. He (the chairman) wished to know whether the magistrates were, under any statute, entitled to override and set at nought the bye-laws of the board; because, if so, the mandates of the board must become a dead letter. He trusted the board was not prepared thus to have their functions superseded. It was suggested that Mr. Allen, the superintendent of police, might in this case have misunderstood the instructions of the magistrates; and it was agreed to instruct the law clerk of the board to write to him on the subject, pointing out the encroachment, which had no doubt inadvertently been made on the powers of the board. The meeting then adjourned. STRANGE DEATII PROM CHOLERA.—Yesterday, an in quest was held before P. F. Curry, Esq., the coroner, on view of the body of John O'Donnell, a child, ten years of age, who resided with his parents, No. 6 court, Wright street. On Friday evening, the deceased, who had been out all day, brought in with him a handful of dirty sugar, mixed with guano, and said that he had been eating some. He was taken very ill with pain in the bowels soon after wards, and died at eight o'clock the next morning. Mr. J. D. Kelly, surgeon, who made a post mortem examina tion, deposed that death h a d resu lt e d f rom c h o l era . One of the jury wished the coroner to notify to the au thorities the filthy state of the house and court in which the poor child died. The Coroner observed that the end would be answered, perhaps better, as he observed two reporters present. Well might we have cholera raging in the town, when human beings were huddled in a cellar not fit for pigs, There was the body lying in a perfect state 9f nudity.

GEORGE'S Ca Tuesday, October 11,1853, , And the prisoner Dunn was taken into cus- ind shortly afterwards O'Bryan was apprehended. An alibi was proved dence not being conclusiv athe pa CUL, emam "ay • 1, they were both that there was a ; the magistrate re strong Ise of suspicion against th( LING A POLICEMAN. — DaVi ith ha I Hervie, dressed like I ving stabbed a police- a mechanic, was charged constable in the thigh with a bayonet this morning, about three o'clock. From what transpired at the investigation, it appeared that the wound inflicted on the constable was of a very serious nature, having caused a great loss of blood, and rendered him so weak as to be unable to attend. On the authority of a medical io was examined, it appeared almost miraculOus that the poor constable had not lost his life. The prisoner said he was so drunk at the time the assault took place, that he had not the slightest knowledge of what occurred. The case was not gone into, but the prisoner was remanded for seven days, by which time it is expected the constable will be able to attend and give his evidence. STEALING PROM A PARENT.—Margaret Kelly was charged with stealing a shawl from her mother, a respec table working woman, who stated that the prisoner, her daughter, had of late betaken herself to dissolute habits, and had stolen the shawl with which she was charged. She had expressed a desire to be admitted as an inmate of the penitentiary, and she (the mother) expressed an opi nion that she could have her admitted, Prisoner was sentenced to seven days' impris HOCUSSING AND ROBERRY.—John Morgan was brought up under remand, on suspicion of robbing a Scotch gentle man under unusually peculiar circumstances. The prose cutor stated, that on Friday week, being a complete stranger in Liverpool, he went into a public-house in Dale street, to get some refreshment, and to see the newspaper. After drinking a portion of his liquor he left the room for a moment, and, on returning, he drank the liquor off. He remembered nothing distinctly afterwards. He had only had two glasses of ale during the morning ; and the medi cal man under whom he had since been was of opinion that his liquor had been drugged. After taking the remainder of the ale he became very stupid, but he recovered himself sufficiently to call for a cab, and to order the driver to take him to a respectable house in town where he was stopping; instead of doing which, the man drove him down to some park, Prince's-park, he understood, where he became aware that some one, who was in the cab with him, was feeling in his pocket. He called to the cabman to stop, and got out, being followed by the intruder, who, however, again got in when he resumed his seat. He then became totally unconscious, and knew nothing more afterwards. On coming to himself, he found that he had been robbed of £9 15s. and a silver watch. Mr. Thomas Derbyshire, publican, Gloucester-street, stated that, on the day in question, the prosecutor and the prisoner arrived at his house in a cab, and that the prosecutor was afterwards found in the yard in a state of insensibility. He would not have him in the house because he thought he was tipsy. The case had been partially heard on Saturday, and the evidence was repeated this day, after which the case was adjourned for seven days, in the expectation that some others, implicated in the case, but not at present in custody, might be found. THEFT AND ILLEGAL PAWNING.—Jane Monks, a poor dirty looking woman, who acts as a charwoman, was charged with stealing a variety of articles, including a counterpane, shawls, a scarf, a brooch, a pair of stays, se veral baskets and other articles, the property of Mrs. Rymmer, for whom she was in the habit of working. The prisoner was also charged with illegally pawning the articles. She did not deny her guilt, and said, in answer to a question from the bench, that her husband was a boilermaker working in Scotland. She was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. LIVERPOOL COUNTY YESTERDAY COURT.-- THE First October court opened yesterday morning, before Joseph Pollock, Esq., the Judge; but the day's proceedings were unusually brief. _ _ FRAUD SUMNONSES.—Orders, for committals to Lancaster Castle, were granted against the following persons, for neg lecting compliance with previous decisions of. the court: — Robert Hughes, 84, Victoria-street ; Edward Jones, 10, Upper Harrington-street; Norman MiLeod, Lancaster Buildings, King-street; William Voyle, 78, Hill-street, Toxteth Park; Ralph Crook, 34, Lambert-street; Thos. Montgomery, jun.; Thos. Montgomery, Regent-street; John Weakby ; James Cook, 1, Bamber-court, Watkinson-street ; Patrick Greatley, 30, Milton-street; Thomas Scales, Stanley-street, Bootle; Ralph Hitchmough, 59, Mulberry-street, (for Iss. due to the Earl of Sefton); Thomas Robertson ; and Murray, each for 30 days. INSOLVENCY CASEs.—Hermann Christian Meyer, of Ren shaw-street, applied for his final order, and-was opposed by Mr. Hime, on behalf of several of the creditors. The in solvent, who is a German, some time ago opened a restaurant and foreign news-room, at the corner of Benson-street. His debts amounted to £219, and .t'46 had been paid into court as the proceeds of a sale of his furniture. His Honour, ob serving the unanimous wish of the creditors, that the estate should be administered immediately, said that if they had asked him to dismiss the petition, he should most certainly have experienced some difficulty in refusing the application, as the insolvent had commenced a business which the £5, forming his only capital, did not warrant. The final order was suspended for nine months,- and protec tion granted for three months, and the estate ordered to be distributed forthwith.—Richard INladdock, builder and con tractor, suported by Mr. Aspinall, barrister, applied for his final order, which was fixed for the 'first November court. — In the case of John Hallsworth, hatter, who was supported by Mr. Aspinall, and opposed by Mr. Grocott, a like time was fixed for the final order, and Mr. Irwin, of Denton, was appointed assignee. —In the cases of Wm. Briylis, optician, of this tswn, and John Thomas -Williams, also of this town, confectioner, the official assignee's accounts were audited; a dividend to be declared at the next court. - ExECUTION IN A PUBLIC Houss.—INTERPLEADEn.— Mr. Henry Thomson, fruit merchant, of this town, sought by interpleader to recover the value of a beer-engine, a carpet, and certain tables, which had been seized by sheriff's officers from a public house at the corner of Marble-street, William son-square, of which he is lessee. It appeared that a Miss Jollie is the owner of the house, and that Mr. Thomson had been lessee for 15 years. In 1852 he got a renewal of the lease, and in the month following transferred the goodwill to Mr. James Ward. Ward, in June. 1853, transferred his interest in it to a person named Samuel Longshaw, who was the execution debtor. Longshaw had not been long in the house, when informations were laid against him, and tile con sequence was, that he was unable to obtain a license, and the house was closed from July to August, when the license was transferred at the instance of Mr. Thomson, the landlord. At the end of August an execution from the Manchester County Court was enforced against Longshaw, and at the sale Mr. Thomson- bought some of the artices, which he now sought to recover. At the end of August the house was closed by the landlord, and all the doors locked, but still an entry had been effected, and the goods taken away.— ti r. Hime con tended that Mr. Thomson had assigned all over to Ward, who had again re-assigned to Longshaw, and that he could, there fore, have no interest in the property whatever. if the articles belonged to any body, they belonged to Miss Jollie or Mr. Longahaw. He'contended that the plaintiff must have received some interest from the transfer.—His Honour observed that a public-house ownership was often as bad as a horse-war ranty case. There-was a complication between landlord and tenant, under-tenant and lessee, that the licensing magistrates and the public should know as little as possible about the matter. A verdict was recorded for the plaintiff, and the court adjourned. SUDDEN DEATH.—Yesterday an inquest was held on the body of Llewellyn Evans, a man 40 years of age, who lodged in Crosshall-street. Deceased was much afflicted with asthma. On Saturday he overheard one of the in mates of the house observing that he would not live, when he turned sharply round, and said, " Wh a t are you t a lki ng about me for ? ' and he swore, and said he did not think he was going to die. He expired unseen, in bed, on the same evening. DEATIL BT A FALL FllO3l AN OZNIBUS.—P. F. Curry, Esq., the toroner, held an inquest, yesterday, on the body of Peter Martin, a master tailor, residing at 182, Great Howard-street. He was fifty-two years of age. Yester day night week he had gone down to Dale-street to get on to an omnibus. As he was climbing up one, opposite Moorfields, the horses started, and he was thrown to the ground. He was picked up insensible by a police officer, and conveyed to the Northern Hospital. He was subsequently taken home at his own request, and died on Sunday last from the extent of injuries which he had received. Tait LOCAL MARINE 80ARD...-. Yesterday, by the nomination of the Mayor, Alderman J. H. Turner and Mr. John Stewart held a court in the council-room of the Custom-house, for the purpose of revising the list of shipowners eligible to vote in the election of members of the Local Marine Board. There were, we believe, neither eitherclaims nor objections, and the proceedings w con sequently formal. It may be interesting to state that the qualification consists of the ownership of foreign-going vessels, registered at the port to the amount of 250 tons. Persons are entitled to an additional vote for each 250 tons above the first, till the number of ten votes is reached, which forms the maximum. The number of parties on the register is 541. A PILOT DROWNED. —Yesterday, an inquest was held on the body of John Daniels, a pilot of this port, who fell over board, and was drowned on the night of Friday last. It ap peared that the deceased had left here on Wednesday night last, as pilot to the " Telegraph " steamer at Belfast. He came on board at Belfast shortly before the vessel's sailing on her return on Friday night, and according to the second mate, appeared at that time to have had a little drink. After the vessel had started, he went on to the bridge, to talk with Capt. Leitch.. Soon after, as the latter was walking with his back to the deceased, the latter fell from the port paddle-box. The alarm of " A man over board" was at once raised, and the boat instantly lowered. Daniels was picked up, floating about, in eight minutes or so, and was brought on deck, but although all possi ble restoratives were used, it was found that he had expired. Capt. Leitch, in his evidence, strongly contradicted the statement of the dece ase d h av i ng been much affect with drink.
