OUTWARD AMERICAN MAILS.—The Liverpool, New
York, and Philadelphia Company's steamer City of
Manchester, which sailed yesterday for New York, took
out £7,631 in specie.
THE WORKHOUSE INSPECTION.—As only one of the
Workhouse Committee attended yesterday, to continue
the inspection of the paupers in the house, it was found
of course impossible to proceed ; so that the further
-examination has been adjourned sine die.
STEALING CLOTHES.—At the County Magistrates'
Court, yesterday, Catherine Lunt, a charwoman, was
charged with stealing a print dress, a sheet, a shirt, and
a pair of drawers, from a clothes-line at Seaforth. She

NORTHERN HOSPITAL.—A general meeting of the
trustees of this institution was held yesterday afternoon,
for the purpose of electing a junior surgeon to the
vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. G. Millet Davis.
The meeting was held in the board-room, and there was
a large attendance. Several gentlemen were nominated,
and among others Mr. Manifold, who was elected by a.
majority of 129.
EFFECTS OF A GALE.—The ship Prince Consort, from
Liverpool to Melbourne, put into Portsmouth on Sun-
day, with the loss of top of fore and main topmasts,
yards, sails, and all the gear attached, wizen topmast
sprung, live stock and fodder washed off the deck and
lost, and one cabin passenger, Mr. Adams, washed over-
board and drowned. She experienced a tremendous
hurricane in the Bay of Biscay on the 25th ult., and
endeavoured to reach Lisbon, but encountered another
gale, and was compelled to. bear up for Falmouth ;
arrived off that place December 6, but no assistance
offering, was obliged to run for Portsmouth, where she
was towed into harbour on Sunday.
THE REV. MR. BELLEW'S READINGS AT THE PHIL-
HARMONIC.—It will be observed from an advertisement
in our front page that to-morrow evening the public
will have another opportunity of enjoying the gratifica-
tion of listening to confessedly one of the first elocu-
tionists of the day, in the Philharmonic-hall. Mr.
Bellew will, on this occasion, give a reading from
the works of Oliver Goldsmith, with a sketch of the
life of that, in some respects, most favourite English
writer. It will also be observed that the rev. gentleman
most generously devotes the receipts of the evening to
the most praiseworthy object of aiding in the liquida-
tion of the expenses incurred in altering and improving
Trinity Church, in St. Anne-street.
GRAND CONCERT IN ST. GEORGE'S-HALL. —We
specially invite the attention of our readers to the
exceedingly great musical attraction which awaits them
in St. George's-hall to-morrow evening. The pro-
gramme is unusally rich in the names of distinguished
artistes, and in the selection of songs and music
assigned to them. It will be particularly noticed that
on this occasion, the celebrated scene from Macfarren's
new, grand opera of " Robin Hood," will be introduced
for the first time to a Liverpool audience, by Madame
Lemmens Sherrington, a lady who herself makes her
first appearance in Liverpool, a circumstance which,
combined with the other well-known names, and the
other favourite ,norceaux musicales to be found in the
advertisement, cannot fail to secure for this concert a
most brilliant, fashionable, and we venture to add,
enthusiastic assemblage.

We read in the Dumfries Herald, " The Empress
Eugenie, on lately visiting Scotland, condescended to
honour our townsman, Mr. J. Campbell Gracie, by
accepting from him a genealogical tree of her Majesty's
_ancestors, the Kirkpatricks of Closeburn and Conheath,
'from whom her Majesty springs direct—as shown upon
the tree compiled by him.'
The private Steampacket Company forbid the mail
boats to enter Kingstown Harbour, Dublin, until the
outgoing boat is despatched ; so that the mail vessel,
which could get inside the harbour and land her passen-
gers at half-past six, in the morning is not allowed to do
so until after the seven o'clock boat, with the mails, has
been sent awajr
C,ESAREAN OI'ERATION.—This rare and fearful oper-
ation was performed at Bethnal-green yesterday with
remarkable success, is9th mother and child being now
alive and promising to do well. The medical gentleman
attending the patient called in Dr. Edmunds, of Spital-
square, and, after an unavailing delay of five days, this
operation appeared to offer the only chance for either
life, as extensive cancerous disease of the mother caused
an insurmountable obstruction to natural delivery. The
operation was performed by Dr. Edmunds, assisted by
Dr Giles and five other medical gentlemen, and the
operator's wife, Mrs. James Edmunds, acted as head
nurse on the occasion, and superintended some important
arrangements. Thanks to chloroform, there was no
pain, and when the mother returned to consciousnessa
she found herself comfortably placed in bed, a living
child by her side, and no sense of pain except the smart-
ingof the closed incisions.
CONFESSION OF RICHARDSON, THE WYBERTON
MURDERER.—Thomas Richardson, who was found
guilty at the Lincoln assizes, on Saturday last, of
wilfully murdering the Police-constable Mcßrian, has
confessed to the crime, and stated to the governor of
the castle, J. Foster, Esq., that he is justly punished for
the crime he has committed. As the evidence adduced
at the trial was for the most part circumstantial, though
of the very strongest character, there was a doubt
whether he really was the murderer, and, therefore, the
confession of the man will be received with satisfaction
by the public. The unfortunate man, we understand, is
frequently visited by the chaplain of the castle, and he
evinces an earnest desire to make his peace with the
Almighty. The execution will, we believe, take place at
noon on Friday, the 21st instant.
PRINCE ALFRED IN AFRlCA.—Prince Alfred seems to
carry a friendly memory of Aberdeen and the Scottish
north along with him even to the out-of-the-way world
of South Africa. While at Natal in the end of Septem-
ber, he paid a visit to the little village of Harrismith,
which is called so, we presume, in honour of the lately
deceased veteran, whose name it so closely resembles.
The prince was attended by Sir G. Grey, governor of
the colony, and Major Cowell, the young prince's
governor. An address was very naturally presented to
the Royal youth, not the less heartfelt for the distance
from home. The gentleman appointed to present the
address was a gentleman from Aberdeen, Mr. N. J.
Wliechnie, son of the late Rev. Mr. M'Kechnie, Wood-
side. Confectioners are not to be met with at every
town in Natal, and Mrs. M‘Kechnie had prepared
certain cakes, not, we presume, such as are most
characteristic of the "land of cakes," for the Prince's
refreshment. On his Royal Highness being informed
that they had been made by an Aberdeen lady, he said,
brightening up with even a more sunny look than usual,
that he knew Aberdeen well, and for the sake of Aberdeen
and the lady together, he. asked permission to put the
rest of the cakes in his pocket.—Aberdeen Herald.
