TOTAL LOSS OF A LIVERPOOL SHIP, AND FEARFUL SUFFERINGS OF THE CREW. we regret to have to announce the total loss of the Mary ilar tleY, a barque of about 700 tons burthen, the property of the Messrs. Clarke, shipbuilders', of Liverpool. - -- it a ppears that the ilI-fated vessel left Liverpool on the 15th of Feb. last year, under thecommand of Capt.

Theie repairs having oe eo effected, she left Rio-on Good Friday last 3 ear, after a detethl " of 1 0 days. Shortly after putting to • sea, she a gain 2encountered violent gales, and, whilst doubling _l3O Horn, the tempest which she had to brave was Z.st terrific for souie.days. She at, length arrived at whwh o a all safe with the exception of the loss of one man o as washed overboard during the raging of the storm a fills the vessel was making the Horn.

Harrison, in the absence of the chairman, presided; the other guardians present were— Messrs. Siddeley, Pickup, Mountfield, Pitts, Wensley, Whitby, Bulshaw, Roberts, Birch, Lunt, Edwards, and Shaw. The Clerk read the minutes of the last meeting, and also reported that there was £1,343 7s. 4d. in the hands Of the ; and that he had inspected all the books kept by the several officers connected with the union, and found them correct: The Master of the Workhouse reported that there were, last week, 726 paupers in the house, since when 42 had been admitted and 45 discharged,') born, and 4 deaths; this 'week 720, and for the corresponding week of last year 735. The Master of the Hospital reported that last week there were 112 patituts in that establishment; since when 9 had been admitted, 11 discharged, 1 death ; tbis week 109, and for. the corresponding week of last year 83. Cheques to the amount of £ . 226 were voted for the relief of the out-door - poor within the several districts of the union. After some routine business had been disposed of, The Clerk reed the following letter from the Poor-law board, relative to the application which had been made to them to sanction the increase of the salaries of the relieving officers. . [fit the time when the motion was made to that 'effect, we published the details; since which, considerable cerrespona encb his taken place on the matter, between the board of guardians and the Poor-law Board, but the following letter will definitely settle the subject.] 14th March, 1856 • _ "I am directed by the Poor-law Board„with reference to your letter of the llth of January last, to state that they have carefully :considered the reasons which the . guardians have assigned for proposing to increase the salaries of Messrs. Olney and Lithgo,_ the relieving officers of the fifth an d second districts. The 'board have T s:ready 'reluctantly declined to sanction the increase proposed in the salaries of Messrs. Allen, Latham, and Barnett, the relieving officers of the first, third, and fourth district. On' comparing the number of persons engaged in the administration of relief to the out-door poor in the - West Derby union, and the expenditure incurred in that object, with the staff of officers employed, - and the expenditure incurred in other unions of a similar character, the board felt that they would not be justified in adopting any other course. The hoard direct me to call the attention of the guardians to the following statement, from which it will be seen that the amount of the salaries, at present paid to the five relieving officers, their assistant, and, the pay clerk, greatly exceed the amount of the salaries paid to 'the officers engaged in relieving the out-door poor iu other extensive unions in Lancashire 'and Yorkshire ; Amount of Average No. Names of No of salaries to of weekly unions, officers officers: paupers.

"The Board are intormed that there are but 434 paupers on the books of Mr. Clay, that 6f these 208 are children, and 140 aged persons, and that his total expenditure in relief is ,under £3O, and that Mr. Lithgo has but 269 paupers, of whom 124 are children, and 104 aged personi. Under these 'circumstances the Board think that the case of Messrs. Olney and Lithgo does not in any material - aspect differ from that of the other relieving officers of the Union, arid therefore decline to Sanction any increase in the salaries of Messrs. Olney and Lithgo." The letter concluded by stating that the Board was willing to instruct their inspector to insitute an inquiry generally into the present relief arrangements of the out-door poor of the Union. The otter was received without any comment. The usual - .routine business having been disposed of, the Board adjourned. POLICE COU r V -1.--ESTERDAY . (BEFORE MR. G. MAXWELL.) A BAD SERVANT.—Priscilla Edwards, a servant at Mr. Cook's, hat warehouse, was chargel.wiih having..stolen a quantity of wearing apparel, belonging to her mistress, and also with breaking open a missionary poor box that was i❑ the shop, and stealing ►ive shillings therefrom. The case was Clearly proved, and the p. isoner was committed for ode month. How "THEY" Charles. Wilson, a youL b on a holiday excursion, cha TREATED A HOLIDAY ; EXCURSIONIST.- .man who came from Cumberland, 'ed three fe►nal named Eliz Moore, Catherine Jones, and Mary Bowman, with having robbed Lies at fifteen sovereigns. Tile complainant said he was "gawking" about the town, spending his holidays, whcn Miss Moore ffered to show him into same singing saloon. He accepted the " lady's" invitation, and they had some drink, and he, feeling tipsy, asked where he could have a nice, decent, and "highly respectable" lodging, she at once offered to show the "iaentieal place;" and in fur therance of this object she took him to a house in Johnston street, off.llale-street. He awoke early in the morning, and found his'clothes orreet, but his money, which consisted of the aloresaid fifteen sovereigns, ;. Was gone. He ,heard • • some noise of money in the kitche n , an d h e rus h e d in, when he found the three prisoners, and he gave them into custody. On the prisoner Moore there wai klild nearly ten'pounds of the money, but nothing upon the other prisoners. Moore was committed for two months, the others were discharged. Cliunos OF FORGER v.—A man named John Redhead, who was in the employment of Messrs. Kilpin and Mont gomery, was committed' or trial on charges of having forged certain. documents relating to the return of the time of certain workmen, who, it would appear, were not employed at all, and with having recaived and 'retired the wages of those, alleged, employed persons, and converted same to his own use. „ . THE GOLD ROBB Iltr. —John Foster and Martin Smith, who had been remauded on a charge of having robbed a foreigner of uowardi of £6OO in sovereigns and other gold, were brought up by Sullivan, Scott,' and Carlyle; of the detective force. The details of this c .se were published last Thursday, and in addition to the evidence already given, it was stated that the woman who kept the lodging- house where the complainant, Conrad Rhor, lodged was sister to the prisoner Foster, and, daughter to Mrs. Foster, who was in custody, but discharged last week. Carlyle had discovered " nuggets" and sovereigns since the last day, to the aaioent of about £l3O, in addition to the sum of £2OO found by Sullivan. The prisoners were fully committed for trial at the Sessions. (BEFORE MIS. MANSFIELD.) A VIIUGO.—A female, named Mary Anne Renner, was charged by police officer, No. 767, with being drunk and disorderly, and was sentenced to seven days' imprisonment. Oa hearing the decision of the bench, she flung, with great violence, a piece of hard brown bread at the head of the officer, saying, " Yi3ll a- thief, I'll suffer.seven years for yon." The piece of th " staff of life," which she thus cast at the prosecutor's skull, missed that important organ, but struck Povey, one' of the detective officers, on the note, and had - it been a sharp instrument, the chances are that the, officer would, have been deprived of, at least, a quarter of an inch of his nasal ornament. The prisoner was again put forward, and sentenced to one month's additional hard labour.

Yesterday, shortly after twelve o'clock, William ..- Par sonage late of the London and North Western Railway Company, was brought' up before ' Mr. Mansfield on remand, on a charge of having obtained money under false pretences, and also of forgery. The court - was crowded to inconvenience in every part., and it was with consider able difficulty that the gentlemen connected with the press could procure places, although they have regular boxes aptiropriated for their special use.. Mr. Blenkinsop con- ducted the prosecution, and Mr. Bretherton appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Blenkinsop said he would produce evidence to sustain two cases against the prisoner, and then would again ask for a remand to a future day. Mr. James Henry Butler was then sworn, and said: I am a merchant in Liverpool. In February, 1854, I ordered .a pair of globes frinn Mr. Wylde,• in London. They were sent down by the North Western Railway, but not deli vered to me, as they were damaged on the way. I did not take possession of them, but threw them on Mr. Wylde's hands, and claimed from the London and North Western Company, I think at Mr. 'Wyldes reques't,' for the amount of the invoice 121 18s, and 5s 6d carriage of them. I did not prosecute the claim, because Mr. Wylde wrote that he had settled with the company, and - Would' send another pair of globes instead. I did not receive any money from the company._ In 1854 1 had no person named Winter in my service. I never had any one of that name in my-employment. - There is no other J. B. Butler in Liverpool except myself. I never received any money for, the claim. _ Mr: tiretherton said that what took place between the witness and Mr • Wylde could not be:evidence, nor taken down in the depositions. He knew it was merely introductory. IVi c. Blenkinsop said it was introductory, and would be received as such; of course it was not taken down as In reply to Mr. Bretherton, the witness said the whole of his claim consisted of a letter he wrote in reference to the affair. He did not know any one else of his name in Liverpool, but amongst half a million of people it was possible there might be some one of the same name. - Mr. William Henry Horne said :—I belong to the firm of Chaplain and Horne of London, who are agents of the London. and North Western Railway Company. In June 1854, I remember settling a claim with Mr. Wylde in Lon- don, in respect of a pair of globes that had been damaged. lam aware they were sent to Liverpool. I settled with Mr. Wylde; and paid 5/ to Mr. Wylde's clerk in Leibester square. To the best of my belief this is the receipt I got for it. To Mr. Blenkinsop—A claim came in writing but I have hot got it ; I waited on Mr. Wylde. I make reports first and get authority for payments afterwards. I have not; got the authority here. I did not correspond with any one in Liverpool on the subject; and I am not aware of any second claim. To the best of my belief the receipt now produced is that which I got. The simple fact is I paid 5/ for globes damaged in transitu to Liverpool. . Mr. Wiilfam Smith Fricker examined : t am chief clerk at the Waterloo station in Liverpool ; the prisoner was a clerk in the Company's service ; his duty was to investigate and settle claims in reference to damaged goods On the railway; R. Salter.was the cashier at the station; he has run away. I saw him on Thursday for the last, time. I know the prisoner's . hand-writing. This ( a b oo k) i s called the payment. book—a book of account between the prisoner and Salter the cashier. it was kept partially by the prisoner and also by the cashier. When a claim was Made for damage, it was the prisoner's duty to investigate it, and to hand in a voucher. That.would be sent to Lon den monthly to the audit committee, and if the company order: d to pay it, the prisoner would hand in_the voucher to the cashier, the prisoner would then get the money from the cashier to settle the claims in. his department. This (a paper) part of the writing in red ink, is in the prisoner's hand writing. Mr. Brettrerton objected to the admission of this docu ment, as there was no evidence as to when it was made. Mr. Blenkinsop said the memorandum was a certificate of the damage done, written upon Butler's claim, and written in the prisoner's hand writing. After a short discussion the document was admitted by his worship, as evidence. The witness went on to say, that the document was such as the prisoner used to nand in for claims certified by him. There was a book kept by Thomas Salter, brother - of the cashier, for a list of claims Made on the company for each month. The claim of Mr. Butler was sent to London on the 14th March, 1854. This (a book) is in the hand writing of prisoner, and an item at the top of this page is a February voucher for 121 18s. This (the origin*, claim) would be a February voucher. The prisoner takes credit for 121 18s, as entered in the book. He credits himself as having paid it. There is no other claim at all for that amount against the .company for January, February, or March. In this receipt, the words in the body, " twelve and eighteen," are in the prisoner's handwriting. (The receipt was handed in as evidence.) Tae witness added, that the entries on the right side of the book, are the sums paid by the cashier to the prisoner. The entries are initialed by the prisoner, except some— one has referente to a claim of 3/ 14s 91.. The witness (in reply _to Mr. Bretherton) said Mr. Salter was the cashier, and all cash transactions went through his hands. The prisoner had to act under Mr. Salter, and all claims should come 'wider hie supervision. I can't say if this claim came before Salter, nor whether the prisoner made any report on claims byhis own authority. I nowgot the cash book from Mr. Blenkittsop. It belongs to the company., I b.iive not written in it to . illy recollection ; the figures at the bottom of the page, where, the entry . - of 'the £l2 18s is made, are in Mr. halter's writin ; there are vouchers for disbursements as well as claims, I cannot say (looking at the book, and the £l2 18s.) that it refers to the globes. The prism. er had not money at command to pay vouchers. There are five . • vouchers on this side of the pay book not wri , ten or initiated by the prisoner. 1 am not aware that other parties paid accounts for claims. I cannot cay >ti Nether Mr. Salter paid claims. The book was geur,- rally kept iu Salter's Mace, and others could have ac.:ess to it, Mr. Poole's signature is to the claim, and that would be put atter the. prisoner's. The witness was examined, cross-examined, and. k re-examined, at considerable length, in reference to matters of detail of entries in the book called the pay book. . Thomas Salter examined.-- I am employed at the Waterloo station, and was assistant to the cashier (my brother.) It was part of my duty to Make out the claims against the company monthly. I copied this book from claims and bills. Tnis is a document such as I made the copy from It is a claim by Mr. Butler, certified by the prisoner. I com pared the claim and the entry in the book, and made the entry from the document. • Cioss-ex +mined by Mr Bretherton : My brother did not give me a list to copy from, but gave me the document to copy from. The document is now in the same state as when I made the entry from it. Mr. Poole's signature was on it then. I never saw my brother sign for Mr. Poole, but I believe he did so when Mr. Poole was out of town. Mr. Blenkinsup said he would not proceed further in that case now, but would proceed with another case. He called Mr. George Hitchin, a clerk in the employ of Cimplin and Horne, of London, who deposed as follows : 1 remember iefilaim made on our firm by Thomas Edgeley and Co., of London, for ihe.delay of four cases of goods for Kirk and Furness, of Liverpool, The amount of the claim was £9 3s 2d. I - went' to' Edgeley's'to settle it, and saw Mr. Edgeley. I offered £5, and subseqaently settled it for £7. This was 22nd December, 1854. Mr. Samuel Blackley examined: I belong to the firm of Edgeley and Bluckley, of London. In April, 1854 I was the manager of that house. I remember four cases of lint sent to Kirk and Furness, of Liverpool, and I was present when the £7 alluded to was paid by the last witness. In 1854, we had not a person named Harrison in our employ, nor never had such a person in the house at all. Mr. Edgeley spells his name Edgeley. The signature in this receipt is.not in the, handwriting of any one in the house, and the name is not spelled ptoperly. There was no other sum received for the lint but the £7 ; if there had been would have known of it. Cross-exaniined by Mr. "I3retherton : There were only three persons employed in the houie in London at the time —Mr, Ed,g'eley, myself, and a boy. Mr; Pricker, the former witness, was handed a letter, and replied, this is in the handwriting of the prisoner. Mr. Blenkensop proceeded to read the letter, which was directed to Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, but Mr. Bretherton objected, on the ground that the signature was that of Mr. Poole. _ After a discussion on the point, the letter was allowed to be read, and was to tha effect that the goods alluded to had been wrongly shipped. The witness read from the paybook a payment, in the prisoner's handwriting, to Edgeley and of £9 3s 10d, on the'22adYebruary, 1855. Co.,in reply to Mr. Bretherion, the witness said he had no doubt that the words, "Edgeley and C 0.," were wiitten by the prisoner. Mr. Salter has sent out clerks to pay claims, but I don't know how often. 1 won't swear he did not send out his brother; sent out a person named Kirkly to pay claims, but he ingone away years ago. • Mr. Salter was also examined in this case, and proved that the words ‘. nine pounds, three, and twopence" in the *receipt ,was written by the prisoner, and - also the date on it. He said, in the list of claims in May 1855 he found an entry to Messrs. Edgeley and Co., of £9 3s. 2d. for deten tion and 'wrong delivery of goods. Witness - made that entry frOm the c aim now produced. Mr. Bietherton cross-examined the witness, who said he had bean sent out by his brother, the cashier, to pay bills, but not to pay claims. • • Mr. Blenkinsop'said he would not prOceed further at present.; .and he would, therefore, ask for a remand for a week. • • Mr. Bietherton said that if a remandTir a week took place, it would be a great hardship on the prisoner, as the grind jury would then probably be ditclarged, and therefore the prisoner would have to remain over to the nest assizes, and this would entail a long imprisonment 14p,2n After a short discussion, it was agreed to remand the prisoner to Friday, at twelve o'clock, Mr. Blenkinsop stating that be would, in the mean time, be prepared to close the charges agait.st the prisoner. His Wthship, at present, refused to take bail for the prisoner. The case lasted up to nearly four o'clock. THE NORTMERDI TIMES.—LIVEILPOOL, iHUESDAY, ZiAi cki 27, 18IM compensa' ,ny money, the prosecution, and ordered that Midgeley should be in attendance this day. The prisoner, against whom the jury had returned a verdict of guilty previous to hearing the second husband's statement, was then removed from the dock.

GREEN.—This mr.ts an action brought to recover compensation" for injury done to • cottage pro perty belonging to the plaintiff at PAitnrosellill, Oldham. The defendant, a band-maker, took some land and pre mises in the neighbourhood, of the cottages, and enclosed it by a brick wait, - Which it was atlege'd darkened the windows of the cottageS, and consequently injured the property. Mr. Hill, Q.C.,.withiMr. Spinks, appeared for the plaintiff ;and Mr. Atherton, Q.C., with Mr. Russell for the defendant. .The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. - • BURTON V. JONES AND OTUBES.—The plaintiff is a master cooper, carryin ,, on business . at New Islington, Manchester; and the defendants, Messrs: W.Jones, John Lees; and Joseph Lees, are colliery owners st Oldham in this county ; and the action was brought n from the defendants for b entering the premises of the plaintiff and d workshops and household property, by . which he was rendered unable to carry on his business. The plaintiff became possessed of the property , in 1852, by the purchase of the good-will from a person, named Whitworth: lie continued in undisputed possession of the premises, and carried on his business there until the morning of the 24th of January, 1855, when a number of colliers, headed by a person named florsfall, entered the premises and destroyed all the property within reach.. - The plaintiff was in consequence rendered unable any longer to carry on his business there, and he accordingly brought the present action to recover damages for the trespass and the injury be sustained. Mr. Atherton, Q.C., with Mr. Udall, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, with Mr. Sparks, for the • defeniant. After the case had proceeded some time, the defendants consented to a verdict for the plaintiff for 1001 and costs, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins stating that though the defendants did not deny the trespass, they wished it to be understood that they had neither commanded, nor sanctioned, the destruction of the property.by . their men. They sent th , men to enclose the land, but unfortunately in doing th the men exceeded their instructions recover nc. and roping his SYMONDS AND OTHERS V. ATKINSON. to recover possession of a bill of exchange, under some what peculiar circumstances. Mr. Hugh Hill, Q.C., with Mr. Manesty, appeared for the plaintiffs; and the Attorney General, with Mr. Tomlinson, for the defendant. The plaintiffs are calico printers in Manchester, carrying on business under the name of Symonds, Cunliffe & Co. ; the defendant is an attorney in respectable practice, also of Manchester, and the question at issue was, as to his right to apply to his own uses, :a bill of exchange for 5241 83. There was a firm in Manchester carrying on business as coppersmiths; under the name of Barton and Co., and in June, 1854, Mr. Barton applied to Mr. Symonds for a loan of 2501. ter a fortnight. The money was lent, but at the expiration of the fortnight, instead of repaying the loan, Mr. Barton.came again to the plaintiffs-place of business, offered a bill of exchange for 524 . 8s bearing da e the 21st June, 1854, drawn by John Barton and Co., on Ainsworth Sykes and Co., calico printers, or Manchester, accepted by them, payable in London, and endorsed by John Bar ton and Co., and said that if the plaintiffs discounted the bill, he would pay them the amount of the loan 2501. The plaintiffs. consented to discount the bill, and were then repaid the 2501. by Mr. Barton. Before the bill became due, Ainsworth, Sykes and Co.; stopped payment, - and Barton and Co. not being able to make any payments to the plaintiffs on the 24th October delivered to them copper rollers to, the amount of 2001. ; and on the 12th December Mr. Barton again went to the plaintiffs, and stating, that all that his firm wanted to get over their difficulties was a little time, offered to give a .bill with their own acceptances - at 2 months for 3501. the balance then due. The plaintiff's accepted the proferred bill as col lateral security; but the next day, the 13th December, Mr. Bartonagain,came, and said that he had to pay 2001 at once, and asked to be accommodalai ^ —This was an The plaint. tent it to him, and thus the original amoun, due ou the first bill was brought up to the first sum. At this time Ainsworth, Sykes and. Company pay their creditors 13s 4d in the Pound-5s in cash, the balance hi proinisory notes, at different clat , s. The it. dividend was payable on the sth of January, and the plaintiffs entrusted the bill, accepte.l by Ainsworth, Sykes, and Co., to Mr. Barton, in oidor that lie. might receive the dividend on it, and hand it over .to them... Mr. Barton returned, and, stating that the dividend could not then be paid, there being some difficulty in the accounts, delivered up the bill. 15th January, Mr. Ramon informed the To-' rrauged to and On the ffs that the ;dividend would then at - once be paid on the bill, and accord &ugly Limy agatu entru3tect it to him, for ti the amount for them. He returned b there was stillsome_little difficulty in the way, but that. ths dividend would be'paid in a dap or two. The plaintiff did not doubt the statement, and left the hill for the, time in his possession. On the 19th of January Mr. Symonds heard in the market that the dividend had actually been paid, the day before, and on taxing Mr. Barton with the circumstance, the latter said that he had received all the dividends, and had paid the bulk sum into. the. bank, hut that he could drew out the plaintiff's sha-e at any moment. Mr. Symonds pressed him to do so, and Mr. Barton left him apparently for that purpose. He returned in a short time, and informed Mr. Symonds that unfortunately the bank refused to .s` there was still a balance against him. - Mr. Symonds expressed himself very freely .on the transaction, and so matters remained until Mr. Barton became a bank— rupt, when, from his examination before the Court, it appeared, to tbe astonishment of the , plaintiff, that after the bill had been . given to him o❑ the 15th January, in order that he might receive the dividend for them he had' actually transferred it to Mr. Atkin son, who used it on his own account. No imputation could lie against Mr. Atkinson, be, as well as the plaintiff, having been deceived by Barton ; but as Barton could give him no property in it, the plaintiff had been compelled to bring the present action to recover the bill and the amounts which the defendant had received on it. The defence was that Mr. Atkinson had simply acted as the agent of Mr. Barton, and that lie had not profited at all by the transaction. O n th e close of the defendant's case, and as the Attorney General was proceeding to speak to evidence, Mr.' Hill said that he would agree to a verdict being entered pro forma for the defendant, subject to the opinion of the ,court above. Ills Lordship said it was a clear case of title in the plaintiffs; but upon the question of conversion, his . impression was that the defendant had received the money as agent for Barton. Mr. Hill seemed to think that that made no difference, and if it dil not, the court above would enter a verdict for the plaintiffs. A verdict was accordingly entered,' pro forma, for the defendant.

The examination and approval of the terms of the treaty will still require two or three more sittings, and the document wilt not be signed before, the end of the present week.

As the Papal government cannot be maintained in its present state without foreign intervention, the subject of reform will be considered, as a remedy applicable to the situation of the Papal states. SOUTH LANCASHIRE ASSIZES, CROW .I COURT.-YESTERDAY. (BEFORE MR. BARON MARTIN.) Mr: Baron Martin took his in this court at sine o'clock yeiaterday morning, and proceeded with :the hearing of the criminal business Attscig,H 7 T . lioinas_ 'Moore,," aged 41, desci was put in the dock, charged with havi on the 6ih of Jan at;, Ashton-under-Line, set, fire to his shop end house in that tnwn,with thO intention of defrauding the Manchester In- surance Company. Mr. Monk stated the case, which was one resting upon tircumstant'al cvidence The prisoner had had his premiseti insured, and, during the last year, increased the insurance to £1,200, of which Ll,lOO was on the stock, and £lOO on the furniture. He obtained the customary note from the Manchester Insurance company, which secured until a given time. The period would expire about the time when the fire in his premises took place, the 6th of last January. The circumstances of suspicion were, that the fire originated in the gas piping, between the meter and the burner, the gas not luviug been turned on at all the day of the fire, which was a Sunday. The prisoner, it would be shown, had also exhibited rii total want of interest, and an indifference to all the for extinguishing the rite, and necessary precautions had prcyented - timely to the engine offices . for assistance oplicatiou being ma, Ho also endeavoured to pie- vent or delay the seachpg for the .'poti and when the polic came, and were endeavouring to put,put the flames, showea Perfect apathy.. The prisoner's. familytonsisted . of his wife, who had a • baby in aril, three other child I of avt twelve years of age. a nephew, six girl about fifteen years of age. . The first wiL was the servant, who stated that on the • night in ss examined Was awakened by the prisoner, who told 'he; fire in the shop, and directed her to . iiee what . - - - not get up at once, because she was very sleepy, and fell asleep again, but was a second time awakened by the prisoner. They went down stairs together, and found that the s:lop was on fire. Site looked through the glass door, and saw a fire near the gas pipe. 'l'ne prisoner made no effort to ext nguish the fire, but went and called his wife. When she awoke he remained to help her to dress, and laced her stays. The eldest boy asked would he go for the engines, and the prisoner replied no, not unless the fire got worse. When he had laced his wife's. stays •he went down, and then the fire had grown worse. He told the Loy he might then go for the police. Witness was of opinion that five or six buckets of water would have extinguished the fire when first she saw it. The night previous she was in the -shop before going to bed, and all appeared to be right. On cross-examination, she stated that she did not procure water to extinguish the fire because She had the child to wind. She stated that she has since been living iu care of the police. Police officer Lawton deposed, that on the night in question, he saw through the door of the prisoner's house that there was a fire inside. He knocked, but received no answer. Another police officer Game up, and.they broke open. the door. When they got into the shop there was a great deal of smoke and a little fire near toe window. Did not perceive ' any smell of gas. The fire was extinguished by theta, in about ten minutes. Did not see the prisoner all the time. Ascertained, subuquently, that the prisoner's boy had been at the police station to call for assistance to put out the fire. Another police officer, named Goodall, deposed that he was at the police station when the boy came to call for help to put out the fire, and that previous to that, or subsequently, the prisoner did not come there at all. . Police officer Warren, who was one of those who put out the fire, .deposed that •he , did not see the prisoner until half an hour after the fire was totally extinguished. Other police - officers were examined, wlio gave evidence generally to the same effect. From the evidence of one of them it appeared that the fire seemed to have broken out in the gas piping, about a foot from the meter. A number of witnesses were called to show that the prisoner had increased his insurance from £7OO to £1,200; that hehad several pressing claims upon him at the time; and that the fire could not have originated in an escape or explosion of gas. Mr. Seagar, who defended the prisoner, addressed the jury at some length, commenting on what he urged to be defects and inconsistencies in the evidence. His lordship summed up at some length, and in the course of his remarks observed that it would have been better, and have prevented observation or suspicion of any kind, if tho servant girl, who was the first witness, had not been in the custody of the police since the fire took place. The jury, without retiring froni the box, found 'a verdict of not guilty. CUTTING AND WoUNDING.—John Cawfield, aged 20, labourer, was charged with having, on the 9th December last, at Prescot,i maliciously and feloniously cut, stabbed; and wounded John Leather. Mr. Aspinall prosecuted. It apPeared that on the eight in question, which was the night of Sunday, the prosecutor, who is a watchmaker in Prescot, was in a beer house there about half past nine o'clock. The prisoner was there with another man. Some words arose between the latter parties, and one of them went out of the house. The prosecutor stated that he took no part whatever in the quarrel, Which had some reference to a quart of ale. He heard some words, subse quently, between the prisoner and the landlord about the ale. The prisoner went out before prosecutor, and when th 3 latter came into the street the prisoner struck him on the breast with some sharp instrument, N; jell stabbed him. The prosecutor mined round to defend himself, and the prisoner stabbed him a second time, upon the hip. The prosecutor went at once to the police station, and subsequently to tho docters. A witness named Rose, the man already referred to as having been rinking with the prisoner, deposed that a scuttle took place, in the first instance, between the prisoner and himself, and that when the prosecutor came out the prisoner attacked him. A slight scuffle then took place, after which the witness saw that the prosecutor had been stabbed. The shirt, trousers, and coat which the prosecutor Wore on the night in question were produced by a police-officer, and shown to be pierced in the places where the prosecutor stated that he had been stabbed, and the shirt was covered with blood. The surgeon, who examined the prosecutor, deposed that the wounds which he had were produced by the stab of a sharp instrument. Mr. M'Donniell, who defended the prisoner, addressed the jury. upon his behalf, and contended that the prisoner was attacked in the first instance by the prosecutor, and the witness Rose, and that finding himself overpowered, and actually believing that his life was in danger. and being more over heated by passion and drink, he used the knife hastily in his own defence, but not with any deliberate intention to do any grievous bodily harm. The jury found the prisoner guilty of unlawfully wounding, but not with any felonious intent. His lordship sentenced the prisoner to fifteen months imprisonment with hard lebour. BIIRGLARY.--JOSCph Ardrey, aged 37, hawker, was charged with having, on the night of the 3rd January, 1856, feloniously and burglariousiy Froken into and entered the dwelling house of Henryfrieenlialgli, and stolen forty gold rings, forty brooches, forty seals,f,and various other articles of jewellery, value £9O. It appeared that the prosecutor is a jeweller, .residing in Oxford street, Manchester. On the night in question he saw that all Was right before going to bed, and the following morning .he found the shop had been broken into, and the property mentioned stolen. Ten days after the prisoner offered some ringi and seals for sale, to a pawnbroker named Yates, in Bolton, whirls the latter purchased ; and the subsequent day he brought some more of the same kind to Yates, of which the latter purchased some. In consequence of something lie had heard, Yates went over to Manchester, and delivered up the articles to an inspector of police. The witness, Yates, stated that he had dealings with the prisoner before. Another witness, named Bromley, deposed' that the prisoner conic to him on two occasions, and sold him jewellery of the same description, which witness afterwards handed over to the police in Man chester. This witness had also known the prisoner before, and had dealings with him. A witness, named Bradshaw, alski a pawnbroker in Bolton, deposed to having bought some articles of jewellery from the prisoner, at the same time, which he also subsequently gave up to the police. Police-inspector Maybury deposed, that on the night of the 20th of January, he went to the house of the prisoner, and told the latter that the shop of Mr. Greenhalgh had been robbed of a large quantity of jewellery, and that he (the prisoner) had sold some of that jewellery to Mr. Yates. P'isoner said that could not be, for lie had had it more than twelve months. Another police-officer deposed, that on searching the house he found some rings, one of which was in the, pocket of the prisoners wife's dress. The prosecutor, on being re-called, and on being shewn the seveeal articles of jewellery sold by the prisoner, and those found in his house, identified the greater number of them as being his property, and having been stolen from his shop on the night in question. Mr. Wheeler defended the prisoner. The jury found him guilty of receiving the property, knowing the same to have been stolen. CHARGE or MANSLAUGHTER.—Bridget Archer was put in the dock, charged with thaving at Manchester killed William Archer, and John Archer. The prisoner was charged upon a coroner's warrant. Mr. Wheeler said, as the grand jury had ignored the bill, it was not the intention of the Crown to offer any evidence. A verdict of not guilty was accordingly returned. CHARD P. op "814.,t3 !Y.—Margaret Midgley, 38, a poor but cleanly clad woman, who was,out on bail; surrendered to take her trial °Eta charge of having at Oldham, on the 9d February, this year, married Joseph J. Sherwood, of that place, her first husband, John Midgeley, being then alive. It appeared that her maiden name was Williamson, and that she was Married to Midgeley in 1840. On the occasion of her second marriage she described herself as a widow, and gave the n ame of Barber. In extenuation of her offence she pleaded that she had been married • at the age of seventeen, and that she and Midgcley had never lived togeth . er ; nor during the long interval of their separation had he allowed her anything for her maintenance. Joseph Isherwood, the second husband, entered the box, and stated that he had known the prisoner for seventeen years, and that there could not be found a better conducted, or more indus trious, woman than she was. When he first became acquainted with her she was in great distress, almost starving, and although her first husband, who was living with another woman, knew of her Condition ho never had the feeling to proffer her the least assistance. " And I tell you what, my lord," said Isherwood, in conclusion, speaking with an honest manliness which guaranteed the truth of his statement, " she is the best woman I ever met, and he is the worst man." His • Lordship expressed a very strong opinion on the harshness of TRADE REPORT LIVERPOOL - W.E:DNESDAY COTTON I The market continues without change, the demand bas bee n fair to day, but being freely mei prices ': arc same as yesterday.

The mother of the children had some months back quitted Boulan, after a quarrel wEich, had arisen betw'een them. re'gterday morning the neighbours were surprised to find the shop still closed at nine o'clock, and information of the circumstance being given to the commissary of police he ordered the• door , to .be .forced open. A dreadful spectacle then presented itself to the view of the persons who entered, being nothing less than four dead bodies hanging from large nails in the wall—those of the•three children and of the father himself. On the table was a piece of paper containing these words:—" I have volun tarily put an end to myself and to my three children." The bodies were at once cut down and medical aid called in, but every effort to restore - animation was in vain, death having taken place several hours b tore. The cause of this dreadful crime is unknown, but the presumption is that Boulan must have been seized with mental aberra tion.—Gatignani. Simms nv A CLERGYMAN.—Considerable sensation was created on Mond,iy in the eastern. district of Glasgow, regarding a report tha , : the clergyman who officiates in Christ Church (Episcopalian) had committed suicide. It would appear that deceased conducted the services i n t h e church on S.bbath forenoon in a very excited manner. He appeared to be very much affected, either 4*. trouble or o herwise ; at all events, his conduct in the pulpit. was such as to convince all present that something unusual was wrong. He, however, returned to the church in the afternoon, but in such an excited state that a fete of the members deemed it prudent .to pr.lient hint proceediniwith the Aervice. A cab was accordingly procured, and the unfortunate gentle man waszonveyed to his lodgings. When he reached home, he was very much excit td. Nothing •unusual, h :wever, was observed till the following morning., when, on his landlady entering his bedroom, shortly after eight o'clock, she dis covered that he had hanged himself. Deceased's name is C. F. R. Smith. He was successor to Mr. T. Fenner. — North British Daily Mail. THE LATE ABDeCTION CASE.—On Tuesday, vv hen Alderman Sir R. W. Carden was presiding magisterially at the mansion house in London, several letters reached him on the subject of the recent abduction of a young female to Hamburg for immoral purposes. From one of these letters we extract the following :—With reference to the conversation I had with you on the 3 subject - of inverghling English girls to Hamburg, I have now to inform' you that, from what has come under my own is observations,eil a both ntihiz Liverpool, Hambu rgthere no doubt that thered other 'parts of Ger many, as is a large and regular traffic carried on between this country and Germany In exporting English girls and importing Germans. . One Of th e part i es most ac tively enga ged in this infamous traffic is a woman residing in Liverpool, where she keeps a notorious house of ill-fame. She is called . —, but I b e li eve th a t h er r eal name is i —, and t is a well-known fact that she makes several journeys to Hamburg in the course of a year, taking with her English girls, and bringing back Germans, generally speaking, of tender years—say 15 or 16, and I have heard that on some occasions she has had children as young as 15. There can be no doubt that this is known to the police; but I do not think that they have any means et stopping it, or interfering, I may also observe that the principal place where Vats traffic, is carried on is Hull, from which Manchester and Liverpool are both supplied. saxictiGii the
