APARSEE BARONET IN LIVERPOOL
On Tuesday, Sir Curse-et-jee Jam'd-sed-he, &e., &C., &C., the
great Parsee Ili creMnt and philanthropist; arrived in Liverpool.
The Mayor placed the state carriage at his disposal. Re visited
St. George's-hall, the Albert Watehoirses, the Canada Dock,
the Butter Place ! M'lver's Engine Works, and the Town-hall;
also the Bank, the Theatre Royal, &c. The Baronet's object
is to learn the characteristics of this the largest seaport in the
world. lie visited Birkenhead, and admired Train, the son of
Train, the son of Jonathan. Being the Butterman of his
own district, he then got into a train of meditation, and thus
did he meditate :

Air—" Sally in our Alley."
Of all the chaps that are so smart,
There's none like honest Kelly ;
Creating joy in every heart,
As every one will tell ye.
There's not another in the land

Has such a stock as Kelly ;
How great soever your demand,
He's ready aye to sell ye.
At break of day he's at hie work,
He loves it so sincerely ;
And as he's never known to shirk,

His strength is taxed severely.
But if his customers approve.
He'll bear all this will Kelly;
And study still to gain their love,
As he will always tell ye.
Sir Jamsetjee, that great Parsee,:
Tins come across the ocean;
That lie 6T England's mighty power

„
May form a limper notion.
lie gazed on all our lions here,

And oft was heard to mutter,—
Of all the sights I've seen there's none
Like KELLY and his BUTTER !!!

NEWS OF THE DAY.

News of great interest and importance has arrived
from China. The allied troops, on their arrival on the
Ist of August, at the Peiho, ascertained that the nor-
thern and southern forts had been evacuated. They
accordingly took possession of them, and found only a
few wooden guns, in charge of three men. On the 12th
some skirmishes took place with the Tartar Cavalry,
who fled in disorder ; the allies having fourteen men
wounded. The allied troops then proceeded to the
Taku Forts, where it is understood the Chinese are to
make a stand ; and an assault of these defences had
been ordered for the 15th. It is satisfactory to learn
that the health of the troops is excellent.
From Shanghae we learn that the rebels attacked
that city on the ISth of August, but were repulsed with
artillery, the foreign residents having formed themselves
into a volunteer corps. It is stated, however, that trade
is at a stand-still, and that the greatest alarm prevails.
The accounts of the state of trade at Canton are also
unsatisfactory, owing to the principal passes being in
the hands of the rebels. It is certainly rather extraor-
dinary that the rebels should have attacked the foreigners
at this juncture, when, by joining with them, their
hostile feelings towards the existing dynasty might have
been largely gratified; but the entire rebel movement
since the commencement has been inscrutable.
There are also advices from Australia. In Adelaide
business was extremely depressed,' and in Melbourne
trade is worse than it was. A large quantity of gold is
on its way to England,
There has been another turn of affairs at Naples.
The Pro-Dictator and his secretary resume their func-
tions, and Crispi has been at last sent about his business.
King Victor is now rapidly approaching Naples. The
Pro-Dictator has met him at the frontier, and the Arch-

bishop of Trani has sent an address to his Majesty,
which is published in the official journal of Naples,
beseeching him not to tarry by the way, but hasten to
comply with the general wishes of the country. If we
are to credit advices received from Gaeta, his Majesty's
presence in Naples at the head of a considerable body of
his troops is likewise necessary for another reason, for it
is announced that orders have been given by Francis 11.
for a renewal of the general attack upon the Garibaldians,
and that the young princes, his brothers, have already
left for Capua to take a share in the approaching
combat.
Whilst writing, we have received some important
additional intelligence from Naples. In consequence of
Mazzini's refusal to leave the city, the pro-Dictator has
prohibited all political clubs and meetings, and has for-
' bidden Louis Blanc, who has at last been sucked into the
republican vortex established in Naples, to carry out his
design of introducing the socialism to the Lazzaroni of
the city through the medium of the famous ateliers
nationaux. The diplomatic corps residing at Gaeta has
gratified King Francis with a protest against one of the
acts of his enemies. The French Admiral
Le Barbier de Tinan has refused to recognise the
blockade of Gaeta, and it is added that a French war
steamer, which it is to be presumed attempted to force
the blockade, had been seized. The important procla-
mation which the Sing of Sardinia has issued to the
people of Southern Italy, seems at length to place the
whole question of bis recent policy on the only footing
on which it can stand—viz., as a question of fact. We
can but refer to the salient points of this document as
given in another column.
Some recent movements of the French troops within
the enceinte protected. by General Goyon, and some
recent proceedings of His Holiness, are referred to in
our telegraphic intelligence.

The impression gains ground that the relations
between our Government and the Austrian are im-
proving. We do not attach much credit to the state-
ment that the Sardinian Government is determined
again to enter the lists with Austria within the next
six months; but the language of M. Cavour, with refe-
rence to Austria, as now more fully reported, looks still
more menacing than it did in the imperfect dress in
which it was originally transmitted to us. Austria,
meanwhile, continues most wisely to act on the maxim
" to be forewarned is to be forearmed."
At a Cabinet Council held a few days since at St.
Cloud, at which the Emperor presided, it was resolved
that important works should be immediately commenced
to strengthen the fortifications of Cherbourg and Algiers,
and likewise that a number of steel-cased frigates should
be constructed on the model of the Gloire. Admiral
Hamelin, Vice-Admiral Bouet-Willaumez, and Rear-
Adminal Dupory spoke in favour of these measures.
Lord John Russell has returned home. His lordship
is stated to have spent the most of his time when in
attendance on her Majesty at Coburg, in writing letters
to Berlin, St. Petersburg, and even to Vienna, in order
to obtain the acceptance of these Governments to the
acts of Piedmont with reference to the Roman States
and Naples.
The Queen arrived at Brussels on Saturday, quite
well. Her Majesty's return to England is postponed
till Wednesday. Viscount Sydney (the Lord Chamber-
lain), the lord lieutenant of the county of Kent, will be
in waiting to receive the Queen and the Prince Consort
on landing at Gravesend. It is the intention of her
Majesty and the Prince Consort, with the Princess
Alice, to repair direct to Windsor Castle. The youthful
members of the royal family, the Princes Arthur and
Leopold, and the Princesses Helena, Louisa, and Bea-
trice, who, during the Queen's absence abroad, have
been resident at Osborne, left the Isle of Wight yester-
day for Windsor Castle, attended by Lady Caroline
Barrington.

We have reason to believe that Mr. Laing, M.P., the
financial secretary to the Treasury, has consented to take
the seat at the Council Board in Calcutta, vacant
by the death of Mr. James Wilson.
An accident occurrpd R.l-„,,1%v to his Royal Ilieh-

ness the Comte de Paris, while hunting, by which his
Royal Highness sustained a fracture of one of the bones
of his right leg. Fortunately, the accident happened
near Claremont, and Dr. Izod, of Esher, who was on
the spot, lost no time in setting the injured limb. From
the latest enquiries, we are very glad to learn that the
young prince is going on as favourably as possible.

The soiree of the Leeds Mechanics' Institution and
Library Society, at which Lord Palmerson will preside,
is announced for Thursday evening, the 25th instant.
One hundred orchestra tickets have been reserved, and
are offered at 10s. Gd. each. The other prices of admis-
sion are, for reserved seats, ss. and 45., and 2s. 6d. for
the unreserved seats.

Two more Tyne vessels have to be added to the
fearful list of the lost during the recent stormy weather.
Intelligence reached South Shields yesterday that a
stout brig, the George Douthwaite, Captain Tatlock, of
South Shields, was wrecked near Revel on the Bth, on
her voyage' from the Tyne to Cronstadt. Her crew are
fortunately saved. The Emma, belonging to North
Shields, has also been lost in the North Sea, in her
passage from Vyborg. Her crew were 48 hours in the
tops before they were rescued. They underwent a fear-
ful amount of suffering while they were so exposed.
The experimental tramway which Mr. Train last
week received permission from the Marylebone Vestry
to ocrnstruct, is doomed not to come to maturity, or
even to take its initiative, without overcoming some
other difficulties than those it has yet had to
encounter. On Saturday, at the Marylebone Council,
this subject was again brought under discussion. A
d. eputa‘`..on of the inhabitants of Baker-street, through
which the ;_nosed line is to pass, attended, and pre-
sented a memorial
in opposition to the plan. Their
.
~ I
ground is an apprenenn.. that Baker-street, now
.
being rapidly converted into
a first-class business
'llitants injured
street, would be prejudiced, and the inhh.
by the aristocracy being driven away into othe, tho-
roughfares, arising from the danger of crossing the
tramways to get to the shops. They prayed that the
decision of the vestry upon the subject should be post-
poned for a fortnight, in order to give an opportunity
for ascertaining the opinions of the inhabitants along
the whole line of route of the proposed street railways.
The vestry agreed to the request of the deputation.
Mr. Train made a more extended proposal' in another
letter, which was ordered to be referred to the com-
mittee, and to be brought up with the report for con-
sideration on Saturday next.

" Wing whiskers " are to be abolished in the army.
The following order has been issued by Lieut.-General
Pennefather. the General Commanding at Aldershott :
—" The Lieutenant-General wishes that general officers
commanding brigades at their half-yearly inspection will
direct their particular attention to the length of the
whiskers of the officers and men. The Lieutenant-
General has observed that some officers of the division
have whiskers of most unusual size and length. By
order, J. W. ARMSTRONG, Assistant Adjutant-General."
Mlt would be heard with deep regret that Mr. Sheridan
Knowles, the veteran dramatist, is amongst the lost of
the ill-fated Arctic steamer. This distinguished dramatist
was born at Cork, in 1784. His father, a lecturer and
teacher of elocation, when his son James was about eight
years old, removed to. London, where the latter soon
began to manifest both dramatic inclination and dramatit;
ability. At the age of twelve he wrote a drama for a
company of juvenile performers, and soon afterwards an
opera. While still a boy he was introduced to the late
Wm. Hazlitt, of whose criticism and advice he frequently
availed himself in the composition of his earlier plays.
After residing about fourteen years in London he
removed to Dublin, and in that city he made his first
appearance as an actor. In this character he was any-
thing but successful, and, after one or two failures, he
for some time relinquished all ambition in this direc-
tion. After the publication of a small volume of
poems he went to reside at Belfast, where he gave
lessons in elocution and grammar. He still continued,
however, to write for the stage, and a play, " Caius Grac-
elms," produced about this time, was played with great
success; and being reproduced in London in 1823, where
Mr. Macready performed the principal character, brought
the author into general notice. During the next twenty
years of his life Mr. Knowles wrote a long series of
plays, some of which—such as " The Hunchback" and
" The Love Chase"—are still deservedly popular. In
1833 he for a short time appeared again on the boards ;
and in 1836 he paid a visit to America. In 1849 a
pension of £2OO per annum was conferred upon him by
the late Sir Robert Peel. Subsequently he was appointed
Curator of Shakespeare's house at Stratford-on-Avon.
