lord of the Dog and Partridge Inn, Market-place, Wigan, was
found drowned in a boiler in the brewhouse on his own pre-
mises. It is not known how he got into the boiler.
THE Board of Trade, finding that masters of vessels do not
use the best exertions to procure mates when about to proceed
on foreign voyages, have resolved that no shipping master
shall clear any such vessel until the master and mate be pro-
vided with certificates agreeable to the act.

SUDDEN DEATH.—On Tuesday morning, Mr. Robert
Richardson, tailor, of Lord-street, died rather suddenly on
board the King Orry, Isle of Man steamboat. He had come
from the island in the boat, and during the passage he was
very ill, and it was supposed he had burst a blood-vessel. He
died just as the boat arrived in the river.
- - - -

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Friday, an inquest was held on the
body of Ellen Harkey, 49 years of age, residing in 3 Court,
Upper Harrington-street, who died in the West Derby hos-
pital, on Wednesday night, from the effects of a fall on the 18th
instant. While passing along Wolff-street, Toxteth-park, she
trod on the coal-grid of No. 36, in the occupation of Mr. Wil-
liams. The grid not being fastened, it turned up, and the de-
ceased fell with her leg through the hole. Her leg was severely
injured, and finally caused her death.
LOCAL WAR ITEMS.—The ship Culloden, lying in the
Bramley-Moore Dock, will leave here for Cork to-morrow, or
Thursday, with 24 officers and 420 men, the whole being drafts
from different regiments. At Cork the same ship will take
on board 12 officers and 460 men. These troops are destined
for Malta.—The transport Golconda will sail from Liverpool
for Malta to-morrow, with 60 officers and 600 men, being
drafts from various regiments.—On Thursday, 35 volunteers
for the Royal Navy were sent by Captain Bevis to her Majesty's
receiving ship Crocodile, lying in the Thames.

FLOODS NEAR MANCHESTER.—Heavy rains have fallen
ever since Tuesday in Lancashire and Cheshire. On Thursday,
and during Thursday night, the rain was almost continuous,
sometimes falling in torrents, and the rivers Irwell: and
Mersey have been swollen to overflowing. In Broughton,
near Manchester, the waters of the Irwell overflowed the left
bank of the river, and the inhabitants on Friday morning
were confined to their dwellings, in some of the most con-
tiguous streets, by a depth of several feet of water. The low
grounds adjoining the Mersey, far down into Cheshire, are
completely covered with floods.
TESTIMONIAL.—SOIIIe friends of William Cross, Esq., late
manager of the Borough Bank, recently presented him with a
'bust, in marble, of Mrs. Cross. A deputation, consisting of
the following gentlemen : —J. Bramley-Moore, Esq., M. P.;
Frank Haywood, Esq.; John Laird, Esq. ; James Logan, Esq. ;
John Park, Esq. ; and A. E. Byrne, Esq., waited upon him at
his residence at Aigburtb, when the pleasing duty was most
gracefully performed by J. Bromley-Moore, Esq., in the pre-
sence of the lady and 'her family, and feelingly responded to by
Mr. Cross. We understand Mr. Cross is leaving this town for
London, for the purpose of establishing a house there in con-
nexion with his present firm, Messrs. A. Dennistoun and Co.

-resolved unanimously, "What •the members of this board feel
themselves called upon to express their deep sense of the loss
sustained by the Collegiate .Institution in the death of the
Venerable Archdeacon Brooks. In this great educational
establishment, combining literary and scientific instruction
with moral and religious training, the archdoeafi?e counselsninvably
manifested the liveliest interest, bringing t
this board a patience of investigation, a soundness judgment,of of
and a truly Christian temper anctspirit, of which its members
entertain a most grateful recollection ; and they hope that the
experience of his example may still be found to direct and
animate their proceedings."
LIVERPOOL CHEMISTS' ASSOCILTION.—The second meeting
of the session was held on Thursday, in the Royal Institution,
Mr. Abraham, the president, in the chair. The members
visited the museum, which was opened for the first time. The
directors of the Royal Institution have liberally placed a rcom
at the service of the society, and already more than 200 speci-
mens have been collected, and promises made of a large number
more. Mr. Mercer, the secretary, announced several dona-
tions to the library and museum. In the absence of Mr. H.
S. Evans, Mr. Mercer read •a paper by that gentleman on
several important articles presented by Messrs. Evans and Co.,
in which their characteristics and properties were fully ex-
plained. Mr. Abraham exhibited specimens of the new metal
aluminum, and also sonic fine extract of senna, prepared in
vacuo. Mr. Mercer showed ssspoon plated with aluminum by
Mr. Atkinson, and also a piece of moulded artificial stone,
lent by T. Chaffer, Esq. A conversation ensued on the several
articles exhibited, after which the proceedings terminated.
• GREAT FIRE IN ROCHDALE.—A very destructive fire broke
out in Rochdale on Wednesday night, in the Vale Mills,
George-street, occupied by Messrs. J. and S. Jennings, cotton

in the basement storey, but in less than 20 minutes the
fallen
.pre-
mises were enveloped in flames, and the roof had in.
Mr. Eccles, fire-brigade superintendent, seeing it was hopeless
to attempt to save the buildings, directed his exertions topre-
vent the fire from spreading-to the mill of Messrs. Paigen and
Co., which runs parallel with the rear of the burning pre-
mises, separated from them by a passage only 18 feet wide. In
this undertaking they were successful. The damage done is
estimated at £25,000, which will be covered by insurances.
The cause of the fire is not yet.known. This is the third time
these mills have been burned down, the first occasion being
on New-Year's-day, 1852 ; the second on the 31st December,
1853.
HEALTH COXHITTEE.—The weekly meeting was held on
Thursday, Mr. Langsdale in the chair. The medical officer
reported that the mortality of the borough for the week end-
ing Saturday last was greater than for several weeks previously.
The deaths registered being 243, against an average of 213 in
the same week of former years. 95 deaths were from diseases
of the zymotic class, and of these 42 were from scarlatina (20
in Toxteth-park), 10 from typhus, 10 from hooping-cough,.9
from measles, 12 from diarrhoea, 4 from syphilis. A female
aged 18 died of small-pox., having been vaccinated in infancy.
From diseases of the lungs the deaths were 45. Of the total
243 deaths, 150 were below the age of five. The Town-clerk
read a report of the sub-committee appointed to inquire into
the subject of an extension of the boundaries of the borough.
The sub-committee, after an interview with the committee of
the council, had inspected the various districts, and recom-
mended generally an extension of the boundaries, the details
of which were not yet completed. In reply to a question, the
Chairman said that at present the production of the report
was only a matter of form, no power to decide upon any plan
being in the hands of the committee. After the despatch of
some other business, thanks were voted to the chairman and
deputy chairman (Messrs. Langsdale and Dover), for their ser-
vices during the past year, this being the last meeting of the
committee.
THE CHURCHES or THE Easr.—On Wednesday, Dr. Wolff,
D.D., LL.D., delivered his second lecture on the above inte-
resting subject, in the upper room of the Teutonic-hall, Lime-
street. The attendance was numerous, and in addition to
several ,of dour own clergymen, the Rev. Mr. Nicolaides, a
Greek ecclesiastic, was present, accompanied by a number of
his countrymen, who were evidently deeply interested by the
reverend doctor's observations. Resuming his descrip-
tion of the Greek Church, Dr. Wolff alluded, in warm
terms, to his reception by the Greeks, both clergy and laity,
and entered into a defence of that much-maligned nation.
The persecution of the Greek Christians, and the tortures
practised upon them by the Turks, were vividly portrayed.
After again reverting, in terms of strong censure, to the in-
jurious influence of the Jerusalem bishopric, he proceeded to
detail the working system of the Russian Church, and his
sojourn at Sebastopol, Simpheropol, and Bakshi-Serai, and
after pronouncing himself an advocate of civil and religious
liberty, and appealing to the generous tolerance of his au-
dience, he entered into a truthful dissertation of the religious
observances of Russia, their lights as well as their shades. The
lecturer was loudly applauded throughout the whole of his
observations, and those who were present derived a large fund
of useful information.
= THE NEW MARIET AT WARRINGTON.—LLYING THE
FOUNDATION Smarm—This event took place on Thursday
afternoon. Unfortunately, throughout the day, the weather
was unfavourable, but before the hour appointed a large num-
ber of persons were in attendance to witness the ceremony.
The corporation and their officers left the Council Chamber
about half-past three o'clock, and proceeded, accompanied by
the borough band, in procession to the site of the intended
market. The arrangements for the accommodation of the
ladies, to shelter them from the rain, as well as the other
arrangements, were very satisfactory. The' ex-mayor, P.
Rylands, Esq., chairman of the market committee, in an
eloquent speech, requested the mayor to lay the foundation
stone, as the most proper person to perform the ceremony.—
The Mayor thanked Mr. Rylands for the kind manner in which
he had been pleased to speak of his services, and the market
committee and corporation, for honouring him by selecting
him to discharge the duty of laying the foundation stone of
their new market. During his fifteen or sixteen years' resi-
dence in Warrington, and nearly thirty years in the neighbour-
hood, he had frequently regretted that persons who attended
the market to dispose of their agricultural produce were
exposed to the pelting rain and scorching sun, and without
a covering to protect them ; but he now felt delighted to tell
his agricultural friends and neighbours that they would shortly
be well and sufficiently protected in a good market. He
trusted that amongst the many other benefits which would
result from the present undertaking, it would have the effect
of bringing the working classes into the market at an earlier
hour on the Saturday night. There was not, he felt convinced,
the slightest reason for delaying their marketing until eleven
o'clock and later on the Saturday night, and he hoped the
practice would be discontinued.—The Town-clerk explained
the contents of the bottle placed under the foundation stone,
and the ceremony having been performed, the Rev. Mr. Lowe,
rector of St Paul's, offered a prayer, and the proceedings con-
cluded with cheers for the mayor and others.—On Thursday
the mayor entertained to dinner, at the Lion Hotel, the mem-
bers of the corporation, and several gentlemen residing in the
7l
eighbonrhood.—Manchester Courier.

ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLIIR.—The annual ball by the
members of this club is fixed for Wednesdny, the 21st of Nov.
This year the Royal Infirmary is to be the institution benefited.
Last year the club handed over upwards of £3BO to the Pa-
triotic Fund, but we must not expect so much from this ball,
as on that occasion the supper and music were given. The
lady patronesses are the Countess of Ellesmere, Mrs. Little-
dale, and Mrs. B. Heywood Jones.

THE promoters of the association recently formed in this
town for improving the dwellings of the poor, have chosen
very eligible sites for building purposes, situated in Northum-
berland-street, rather more than a quarter-of-a-mile from the
South, Docks, and near to a populous district. Designs, ap-
proved by the Health Committee, have been adopted, as con-
venient and economical, arranged for about forty cottages, in
three separate stories, with an infant school adjoining, a wash-
house in the basement, and a drying-room in the attics, for the
tenants.

FALSE IMPRISONMENT.—At the Court of Passage, last
week, before Mr. Edward James, the assessor, Martha Glaister,
a young girl, brought au action against John Johnson, green-
grocer, Mill-street, Toxteth-park, for the recovery of money
illegally withheld, and as damages for assault and false im-
prisonment. The plaintiff, who was a dressmaker, formerly
assisted the defendant at one of his shops. In July last a
' friend of the plaintiff's placed in her hands the sum of £l9,
which was found in her pocket by the defendant's wife. The
defendant accused her of having stolen the money from his
shop, and, without paying heed to her explanations, struck
her, and then gave her into custody. On the facts of the
case being satisfactorily explained to the police, she was dis-
charged. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the
£l9 which had been taken from her, and £l2 10s. for the
slander and false imprisonment.
THE NEW EMIGRATION ACT.—An important case was
heard before Mr. James Stitt and Mr. Thomas Sands, at the
Police-court, on Wednesday, being the first information laid
in this town under the provisions of the new emigration act.
The prosecutor was commander Higgins, RN., assistant
emigration officer at this port, and the defendant Louis
Redlich, keeper of an emigrant lodging-house, No. 11, Slater-
street, which he calls the Black Ball. Hotel. He was sum-
moned for acting as a passenger broker without a license, but
the circumstances embraced a charge of a far more serious
nature. John Murray, an Irishman, stated that he engaged
second-cabin passages for himself and his wife, from Mr. A.
Alexander, Leman-street, Whitechapel, London, in the ship
Aurora, of the Swallow-tail line, from Liverpool to New York,
for which he was charged £25. He paid £l3 on account, but
£2 was returned to him. It was arranged that he was to pay
the balance of £l6 to the defendant, Louis Redlich, in Liver-
pool. He arrived here on Saturday and paid the balance to
the defendant, also giving him £lO for railway and steamboat
passages from New York to San Francisco. Here he learnt
that he had been swindled, as the price of such passages as he
had obtained (second-class) was only £4 each. He was advised
to lay his case before the government officials, and he did so,
the result being the present information. Mr. George Percival,
passenger-broker, 134, Waterloo-road, deposed that Redlich
obtained the two passages from him, paying him £8 for them.
The magistrates convicted the defendant in the lowest penalty,
namely £2O, ordering him to be kept in custody until the
money should be paid. The bench also advised the prosecutor
to come to some arrangement relative to the money out of
which he had been swindled. Mr. Percival provided Murray
with passages in another ship, in order that he might stay
here to prosecute the defendant. In default of payment, Red-
lich will have to undergo three months imprisonment.

FATAL APPRAY WITH POACHERS NEAR TRENTHAIL—An
under-gamekeeper, named Goss, and an assistant or " watcher,"
named Salt, were, between 10 and 11 o'clock on Friday night,
on land in the occupation of Mr. John Davenport, called the
Waste Farm, the property of the? Duke of Sutherland, when
they discovered a party of (it is believed seven) poachers.
Goss and Salt, after concealing themselves for a time and
watching the operations of the poachers, advanced towards
them, and finding one man at a distance from his comrades,
Goss captured him and handed him over to Salt. After
a short struggle all the poachers but three ran away, and
Goss, with his stick, was keeping up an unequal and desultory
contest with them, when Salt came up to him. He then
struck one of the men he was fighting with about the
shoulder with his stick and knocked him down. He gave
that man also in charge to Salt, and went after the others,
but could not find them. On returning to the place where
he left them, he saw Salt pursuing his prisoner down a long
field. Salt overtook the man, and both fell, but the man got
away a second time and ran, and Goss caught him. When
he came up Goss struck the man on the back with his hand,
and he fell. The man, while on the ground, said, " Oh,
Lord ! Joe,. I-shall die ; feel my faee, it is all of a cold sweat."
The keeper did feel his face, and found it in the state he
described; also that his hands were cold. The man then
complained of his leg, and Goss, on looking at it, discovered a
serious wound on the upper part of the calf of the leg, which
was bleeding copiously. It was found that the keeper's dog
had been killed by some sharp instrument, and a large bowie
knife, with hairs on the blade, believed to belong to the. de-
ceased, was found near the place. It is supposed 'that in
stabbing the dog the deceased cut his leg, and the wound
severing a main artery produced hremorrhage, which caused
death. The name of the deceased was Charles Lees. He was
a hatter in Longton, in the regular rezeipt of good wages. He
has left a widow and three children.—Manchester Guardian.

INFORMATION UNDER THE PASSENGER ACT.--.On Wed- ,
nesday an investigation took place at the Police-court, before
Messrs Aikin and Crosthwaite, relative to complaints preferred
against the owners of the Marco Polo, by some of the third-
class passengers, on her homeward voyage from Melbourne to
this port. The witnesses were Frederick Augustus angles, of
Dublin, linen-draper.; Alexander Leith, of Aberdeen, a miller;
Frederick Hornick, a. Frenchman; and James Sharp, a drug-
gist. Their evidence Was to the effect that, during different
-portions of the voyage, the flour was sour, and that, on one oc-
casion, the beef and pork were uneatable. They also com-
plained that, for forty-eight hours, a portion of the provisions
were withheld from them, on their refusing to sign a book ac-
knowledging the receipt of their provisions. The main facts
were not disputed, but, on cross examination, Mr. Forshaw
elicited that the flour was only sour at intervals, that the other
provisions were unexceptionable in quantity and quality, and
that, when complaints were made to the captain as to the
withholding bouilli by the purser, he ordered some to be given
to them immediately. It was also proved that substitutes
were given at times for provisions not in store, and that a
portion of the provisions only were withheld for forty-eight
hours. An extract was read from the official log, in which it
was stated that the captain only required the passengers to
sign for the provisions they actually received on board the ship.
Mr. James Aikin said that it appeared to them that there had
been.very unfounded complaints about the provisions on the
voyage. From the evidence of the complainants, it appeared
that the vessel was exceedingly well supplied, with the excep-
tions described. They would not express any opinion whether
the plan was a good one that the passengers should be called
upon to sign for the provisions received, but if it was a
mutual arrangement entered into by both sides, no doubt it
would be very beneficial for all parties. It did not appear that
the captain required them to sign, but they began to do so at
the commencement of the voyage, and continued to do so for
some time. Then, for some reason not very well defined, they
(the passengers) refused to sign. Upon this the captain
stopped the issue of the provisions, and said to them, You
have been signing all these times, and if you continue to sign,
here are the stores for you." They (the magistrates) thought
that the only error the captain had committed was in sus-
pending the issue of a portion of the provisions for the one day,
For that fault they were inclined to think that he had sub-
jected himself to a penalty under the act of Parliament. They
were quite disposed, under the circumstances, and considering
the very few complaints that had been made to the captain
during the voyage, to believe that the well-thinking portio n of
the passengers would have been more inclined to have given
praise to the captain for the manner in which he had acted
than to take part hi such a proceeding. They thought that
the captain had incurred a penalty, but they were also clearly
of opinion that that penalty ought to be the smallest which the
law allowed them to inflict, namely, Za.
