Cargo has been washed ashore belimging to the
steamers Moscow and Edinburgh, and their fate is

rity, that the interview at Coblentz between Lord
John Russell and the Prussian Minister for Foreign
Affairs in no respect varied or modified the previous
p'eliey of the English Government on the Italian ques-
tion ; and as to the noble lord's despatch to the Court of
Turin respecting Venetia, the Daily Nem asserts that
the cause of Italy was, under the existing circumstances,
substantially helped by the warning given at Turin by
the English foreign office.

Ali immensely heavy balk of African oak, Weighing
upwards of 30 cwt., had to be disembarked from the
Rosalie, lying off the Commercial Docks, for which pur-
pose a raft consisting of three logs of pine timber, was
lashed alongside, and upon which the oak was intended
to be conveyed on shore. The heavy balk was hoisted
sufficiently, and was being lowered when the mate
with three men went in a boat to make fast a rope to
the suspended balk, which at the moment slipped from
the slings, dashing with fearful velocity across the raft,
:and striking the boat, which was outside; so violently,
as to break her to pieces. James Hubbard, who was on
the raft, was knocked overboard, and drowned before
assistance arrived. Henry Baker (the mate) and two
seamen, who were in the boat, sustained such serious
injuries from the splinters of the broken boat that, after
having been picked up, they were conveyed to the hospi-
al ship. The body of Hubbard has not been recovered:

LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY.

(Before Mr. RArmEs.)
TOM CARTER'S LODGING!

A giant-looking fellow, named Tom Carter, was
brought up by a police-officer, who stated as follows
Last night between eleven and twelve o'clock, I was on
duty in Vauxhall-road, when I saw the prisoner come
out of a cookshop, and he then walked up to me, and
says he, " officer, I want you." I asked him what he
required ; and he replied, " I want you to get me a
lodging." I told him it was not my business, nor part
of my duty to procure him a lodging. " Well," said he,
" will you recoil/mend me to a lodging-house ?" I said
I would tell him where there were lodging-houses, but
I would not take on myself to recommend any, as that
was not my duty. " Then," said he, "I will teach you
your duty," at the same time drawing out his fists, and
then rushing at me with great fury to strike me, and I
drew back; but he followed, flourishing his fists.at me
in a terrible way. I kept him at a distance for some
time, he crying out " you must find me a lodging." At
last, another officer came up and we got bim a lodging
then in the station house. In answer to the charge, the
prisoner said, I came oirt of the eating house, when I
saw that gentleman officer talking to a young lady.
Says I, officer, you must get me n lodging. I'd see you
d--d first old fellow,• says he; and I thought he had
a better right to get me a lodging than to be talking to
a lady in the street. Mr. Raffles was of s different
opinion; but as the prisoner was not known to. the
police, he discharged him with a caution for the future.

CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.
Daniel Evans, late one of the agents of the Pru-
dential Life Insurance Company, London, was brought
up on remand, charged with having embezzled certain
sums of money belonging to the company. Mr. Pal-
grave appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Cobb for
the prisoner. A week ago a warrant was issued for the
apprehension of the prisoner, on the evidence of the
secretary from London. It appeared that the prisoner
was one of the agents of the company in Liverpool, and
the charge against him was for having received certain
sums of money that he did not account for. Mr.
Palgrave applied for an adjournment of the case to
another day, and Mr. Cobb not objecting, the prisoner
was remanded for a week.
