POLITICAL STATE OF GERMANY

The Daisy AreICS, retnaritig on the meeting at
Cobourg for the national unity of Germay, points
out that France Will not allow Germany to unite
except under the penalty of their losing the Rhine.
Russia will not allow Prussia to impose a liberal
system of Government upon Austria as the price
of a thorough German alliance. Germany will
have, like Italy, to conquer freedom, and not only
against the ekorts of a retrograde party at home,
but against the governments of Russia, of France,
and of Austria abroad.

THE BOUSFIELD TtsMioNIAL

VO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES

SlR,—The question is asked what are the committee
intending to do with the money subscribed, for upon that
depends the contributions of many.
It is said, things whiCh prove a substantial benefit
find a beginning in trues, through the exertions of
individnals who little thought to become the nucleus of
great benefit to man and mankind. With this view of
a few centuries, what would Julius Cmsar have exclaimed
at Knowsley on the first of September, 1t?60, Cotild he
again have had the ottn'rtnility of visiting this island,
and walking through the ranks of brothers gathered
together at the invitation of a neighbour ? Would he
not have said, "These are a mighty people ! 1 knew
your island, when a land where briars and thorns covered
the earth, peopled with wolves, and where Paganism; with
all its savage associations, only reigned ; but where no*,
at the invitation of a neighbour, 'ec'nie ban& of men, to
convince the world they haVe fathers, mothers, sisters, bro-
thers=that they have homes, and, though last, not least,
that they stand up to defend their Lady the Queen, her
throne, and dignity against all enemies. Lancashire is
not singular—all the island is loyal. In our day, we
have men of all degrees spending their best days for our
good ; some pining in waikt. and misery—others
rewarded with wealth and position. *re have seen
upwerds of £60,000 given to Cobden for his exertions
for Free-trade ; and let it not be said that the principal
mover of our present Volunteer Associations-;--a move•
ment which has scotched the Great Snake, and which
has convinced the world we can scotch any quantity of
similar "varmint" --receives only at the hands of his fellow.:
men a paltry glittering piece of plate to add only to his
expenses. Give it out at once that the Bousfield Testi-
monial will be something substantially worth his
acceptance, and when he thanks you for your kind
solicitude, you can imagine how his heart is full. I
would fain say more, but trust I have hit the centre of
the target, and wait patiently for a just prize for
Lieutenant-Colonel Bousfield, the modest founder of
our present volunteers—and remain, yours, obediently,
A FATHER OF VOLUNTEERS.

THE NEW HOLYHEAD MAIL STEAMER ULSTER."'
This vessel left the river at nine o'clock on Saturday
morning, on a trial trip, with the Admiralty
Surveyor
on board, and remained out until four o'clock in the
afternoon. The trial of her engines proved satisfactory,
working at 23 and 24 strokes per minute, the vessel
making a speed per log of 18 knots. The Ulster pro-
ceeded yesterday to Dublin about one o'clock, and will,
it is expected, commence working on the Holyhead and
Dublin station on Wednesday or Thursday, though the
service under the new contract will not commence until
the Ist of October next.

SHIP LAUNCH YESTSRDAY.—Yesterday, at Messrs.
Cato, Miller, and Co.'s yard, a large company of gentle-
men witnessed the launch of the Chanarcillo, a beauti-
ful vessel intended, we believe, for the West Coast trade,
and erected for Messrs. Gardner and Broomhall, mer-
chants,c arrying on business at 6, Redcross-street.
Liverpool. The ceremony took place at eleven o'clock.
The day was very unpropitious : rain fell in
torrents ; otherwise the spectators would doubtless
have been far more numerous than they were.
The Chanarcillo has been built from a beautiful
and in every respect perfect model. She has been con-
structed with an eye to the most modern improvements,
general symmetry, and artistic workmanship ; and the
success which has attended the builder's efforts warrants
the opinion that her sailing qualities will be equal to
any engaged in the West Coast and every other trade,
whilst at the same time she is expected to carry a large
cargo, the registered tonnage being 460 tons, and the
builder's measurement 670. The utmost despatch will
be used in preparing her for her first voyage.

THE CHARGE OF ATTEMPTEDMURDER-

IN MURRAY STREET,

YeSterday, at the morning sittings before Mi. Santa
Aiken, at the police-court, Daniel M'Lorinan, the keeper
of a shooting gallery (a cellar) in Murray-street, WTh
lianrsoa-square, was brought up on a charge of having
attempted to Afoot William. Gittins; Mr. Cobb api-
Peared for the prisoner, who is a low cunning-looking
lino* with a peculiarly formed lead and face. The
eroieetitot• is a fall thin yoing man, and stoppage
in his speech; his iteadWaS bandaged up. In additiett
to the facts stated in der paPei of Yesterday, Mr. Kehoe
opening the case said the in:honer was Charged. with
an aitetart to murder Gittins by firing a Idirded pi`stof
at lrie fte' ad, inla shooting gallery kept by him in ItidriaY-
street. ft Ootild he shown that the prisoner took a
loaded pistol and fired in the most deliberate manner at
the prosecutor's head, and so slew has he to the hat on
the head, that the powder actually bfirrif fry on the-
hat, and ilia ball entered, passing along on the tor of
the head and going ottt at the top of the hat and lodged
in the ceiling. It would appear that the prisoner and
proseetttor bad been out together all Saturday night,
and liad been drinking in several houses, and early on
Sunday 'coining the prisoner induced the prosecutor to
enter, his celtat, aionti With d third man, and it appears
that the prisoner (added Mr. keiroe). tent whiskey in
the cellar when. public-houses are closed. After being
there fth: sortie time, the prisoner Wait and dosed the
door, and then retired; loaded a pistol, fired a couple' of
shots about the pittecutor's legS anif a third he fired at
his head, which went throlTh the hht, and it was a most
Miraculous thing, as Dr. M'Caui sfeidd tell hie worship;
that the prosecutor's brains and head were trot blown. to
aches—in fact, that his head was not blown off altoge-
ther. Tlk prosecutor was then called, and stated as
follows :—I am a: clerk at Birkenhead, and live in
Thomas-street. I was oat 611 Sturday night in several
public-houses, and met the priedigi Johnston's beer-
house. About three o'clock in the morniiik we went to
Battersby's public-house, Skelhorn-street, and Che pri-
soner was about half drunk at the time, and I was Audi
the same, but we had our senses, and could walk and
talk well enough; when he left that, he proposed that
we shonid gd to his place, where he sells drink after
hOnrs ; f knew that before, and we had some drink
there,, when he asked lilt for payment, but I said I
Would riot pay ; tired ran up and fastened the door, .
and then he Came back raid loaded d pistol; he fired one
one shot between my legs, and another by aitedt, grid I
began to be alarmed at him. Ile then loaded the. pistol
the third time, wheeled round, and fired at me ; I felt
something, and took off my hat, and saw the ball bad
passed tfitough it, et.:*l I felt the blood coming from my
head, and then he ran aafg aid began to cry as he tent.'
There was a third man with us, brit I don't know who
he was, as I only met him at Battersby's, OA the priso-
ner, and never saw him before; he ran away also, IPA
can't say to where. The prisoner told me I owed him
is. for tit() 'ears, but I don't think I owe him so much,
but I said rovid pay him whatever it was.—Mr. Cobb
(looking at the hat): Well; it is not only a narrow
but a most miraculous escape that you had, and it
is a great blessing you were fdt further lima.
Had you any quarrel with him ? Not at all.—;You
were on the best terms of friends ? Yes.—Mr. Cobb

Had you ever any quarrel with him at all ? Never in
my life.—Was he angry with you ? Not at all.—Nor
w
did he threaten you in any way ?. No, he did not ; he
appeared greatly alarmed when he _shot me ; he stopped
a moment, and then ran away crying.
Ijetectiire other Wilson said,—l went with the pro"-
seed& to the cellar, add Made hint stand in the position
in which he Was *hen he was fired at, and then, from
the direction in which the ball entered and went out, I
looked up and saw the ball sticking in the ceiling: The
ceiling is ball-proof, but there is a quantity of plaster
over it, and in that the ball was sticking. I got pistols,
powder, balls, an(' caps, in the place pointed out by the
prosecutor, as where the prisoner took the pistol when
he OA the shot.

6tirgebn: iki3Oani said the prosecutor had a wound on
the top of the hetid, Add two inches long, and down
to the bone ; the slightest thilig nibre, and the bullet
would have blown the skull oft —Mr. Aiken : Ys there
any erysipelas ? Not now.7--Mr. Aiken : Bin is th'ere
a possibility of it ? Why, yes; it is possible.—Mr.
Aiken : The ball then mast have glanced off the skull ?
Yes, it did. He was all saturated with blood. He
bled a great deal.
Mr. Cobh—flo you think, sir, this is a case that
Conies Under the statute ? There is no evidence to shOw
an attempt to filth-der, and there is no evidence that
there was any citiairel ; on the contrary, they were the
best of friends.
Mr. Aiken—And there is more, thEit, ata Mad tried ;
but then there is evidence that he brought the pfosectitor
to his place, and demanded money from him. These,
along with what may follow, will oblige me to remand
the prisoner for seven days.
Mr. Cohb—Well, sir, I cannot object to that ; and
perhaps you wiii give affections that the prisoner's
doctor be allowed to examine hint a's regards his sanity.
Mr. Aiken said no doubt that Vidifid lid dttendsd to.
The prisoner was then remanded for a week.
