LANCASHIRE- RIFLE CONTEST.

Yesterday. was the closing da/ of thiqieat contest,
and.the weather proved no more favonfalaiethan on the
preceding . days. If the sun shone brilliantly, MA the
atmosphere, wfs clear, the good effect which these
influences won d have had upon the shooting was almost
heavyacross
thewindwas
blew
;lparticularly
unfortunate that the shooting hae to be extended into
the present week, as many " crack shots'''. were unable
to prolong their leave of absence. Taking ell the
circumstances; however, into consideration, the shoott
ing at the long ranges cannot but be pronounced
to be far above mediocrity. Had it not been
for the obstinacy with which the wind blew, we have
no doubt whatever that we would have been able to
present a much better score than the one appended. For
the second prize there were three ties—Dunbar, Viscount
Fielding, and Colquhoun ; and it is a curious fact that
each of these gentlemen used Whitworth Rifles, and
were trained in the School of Musketry at Hythe. The
gentleman who made the highest score and won the
first prize, was Lieutenant Ick.

LIVERPOOL POLICE COURL-YESTERDAY.

(Before Mr. RAFFLES.)
ASSAULTING THE POLICE.
Inspector Bibby, charged a young man, named John
Edwards, for having assaulted him. On Sunday morn-
ing, the, prisoner and another man, were fighting in
Whiteehapel, when the inspector came tip and separated
them, and requested them to go away, whereon the
prisoner struck the other man in the fate, and the
inspector said if he did not go away, he would lock him
up ; and ,on this, the prisoner turned on him, gave him
two blows on the eye and blackened it. In reply to
Mr. Raffles, the inspector said he was in uniform, and
the prisoner saw it, as he cautioned him to go away.
The prisoner said he did not know who he had struck.
He was fined £1 and costs, or a month's imprisonment.
ASSAULTING A BAILIFF.
Thomas Lloyd, a County Court bailiff, charged a
labourer, named William Bowes, for having assaulted
him. It appeared that on Saturday evening, the com-
plainant had a County Court warrant to arrest the
prisoner, for a debt due to one' of those traders known
as " Scotchmen." In company with one of the "Scotch-
men," he went to the Landing-stare, where he met
the prisoner coming from his work in Cheshire. He
told the prisoner he was 4‘ wanted," when he denied
that he was the man, but the " Scotehman" settled the
question, by fully identifying him.. The prisoner then
said he would get some money from a friend of his, a
Mr. Carroll, a publican in Mill-street, if the officer
would go with him to the house. He did so, when the
prisoner took a purse from his pocket, and handed it to
Carroll, saying, "take what I owe you out of this, and give
the rest to my wife, as these have a claim against
me." He then rushedinto the yard where he was followed,
but he drew a knife and swore he would stab him.
Carroll assisted the prisoner to get away, but he was
subsequently arrested, not before he cut the bailiff in
the head with some sharp instrument. Mr. Raffles
told the bailiff to report the conduct of Carroll
to the judge of the County Court, and let the judge
deal with it as he might think fit. His Worship fined
the prisoner £2 for the assault, or two months' im-
prisonment

ASSAULTING THE POLICE.
John Walsh, Margaret Connor, and William Cahill
were charged with assaulting police-officer Hill, No. 85,
in Wright-street, Scotland-road, on the night of the
28th of October. Mr. Cobb appeared for Walsh. The
case was up before, 'and the details were • published in
this paper two or three days ago. On the night in
question there was a great row in Wright-street, when
Hill and some other officers went to quiet it. They
were attacked by a large crowd of people and very
roughly handled, Hill being knocked down, and kicked
in the head, and it was proved that the two men had so
ill-treated him. The woman took his staff, and rescued
one of the prisoners. Surgeon Sheppard said the
officer had been much injured, but he was now getting
on well, and out of daunt Mr. Cobb offered to call
witnesses for Walsh, but his Worship said he had better
reserve them for the trial, as he would send the men for
trial, which he -did. He fined the woman £l, or one
month's imprisonment.
CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—ESCAPE OF THE

PRISONER.
A curious case of the escape of a prisoner, took place
yesterday at the police-court. The facts were these :
A person named David Morrison Clarke, a clerk in the
employment of Messrs. Frederick Came and Co., ware-
housemen, Exchange-alley North, was given into custody
on,a charge of having embezzled certain sums of money
belonging to his employers. When the case was called
on, it was discovered that the prisoner had escaped.
The prisoner had been locked up in bridewell by detec-
tive-officer Graham, and it appeared that Mr. Jones, one
of the bridewell-keepers, when the prisoner was wanted
in court, called police-officer 850, who happened to be
present, and gave the prisoner to him, telling him to
take. him to the court. The " brilliant" 850 did take
him to the court, but only to the door, where he left
him to find his way before the magistrate to answer the
charge. The accused, however, having an antipathy to
measures compulsory, did not remain long at the dOor,
but where he went to is altogether another affair.
When he was missed, there was much consternation in
the court and the premises thereunto adjoining. Police-
man 850 was sent for, when Mr. Kehoe, in accents
wild, asked him where was his prisoner ? • Officer—l
don't know. Were you not told by Mr. Jones to
bring him to the court? Yes, and so I did. Mr.
Kehoe—Where to ? To the door, What did you do
with him then ? Left him there ! Mr. Kehoe—How
long are you in the police? Two months. Mr. Kehoe
(to another officer)—Take him at once before the head-
constable. A dozen constables were at once sent in
search of the lucky individual who had fallen into the
hands of the verdant 850.

AN UNNATURAL MOTHER.—Yesterday, the body of
a new-born child was found amongst some goods in the
George's Dock shed. Police-constable 629 at once
conveyed the body to the dead-house.
GREAT FIRE AT 11031 BURG.—A Frankfort letter of
the 30th ult., says :—" This afternoon, at half-past two,
a' fire broke out at Homburg in the large dining-room
of-the bathing establishment, just as the tables were
laid for the wedding dinner of the director of the bank.
The fire spread with such rapidity that this handsome
hall, the decorations of which alone cost 100,000 f. Was
entirely destroyed, as was also the theatre adjoining,
where a French company were tolhave begun their per-
formances the next day. The other portions of the
building were saved. The fire is supposed to have been
caused while trying the gas-pipes of the theatre."
SALE OF BLOOD HORSES IN EGYPT.—The following
catalogue of horses, which are to be sold at the Palace
of Abassia, near Cairo, has been sent to the Government
by Mr. Col9uhoun, her Majesty's Consul-General in
Egypt, as being of importance to . all breeders of blood
horses in England :---" Catalogue of horses of known
high breeding in the stud of his late Highness Elhamy
Paella, remaining from the stud orthe late Viceroy
Abbas Pacha : 33 stallions (one of these was bought of
Colonel Blood for £1,000) ; 137 mares, of Arabian and
Syrian stock; 51 colts (entire) and 59 fillies (produce of
the above) ; 2 mares, highest Egyptian breed ; 52
stallions, ditto. The above will be sold by public
auction at the Palace of Abassia, near Cairo, on Monday,
the IQtli December, 1860 ; and the sale will be con-
tinued on two 'days of each week till the whole stock
be disposed of.—By order of the official...trustee, Edhem
Pacha.—Alexandria, Oct. 11, 1860."
AUSTRALIAN TESTIMONLAL TO SHAKESPEARE.—It is
proposed to erect a testimonial to Shakespeare on the
approaching tercentenary of his birth. The proposition
has since met with great favour, and a number of sub-
scriptions have been obtained for the desired object. At
a meeting of the Shakespeare Testimonial Committee,
held at Melbourne, it was resolved that three gentlemen
IA appointed in London, to act as a " Committee of
Taste" in the selection of a design' for the intended
statue—such committee to consist of Messrs. Carlyle
and Ruskin, and Sir Charles Eastlake ; and that both
colonial and English artists shall. contribute designs, the
above committee having the power to select the most
meritorious. The selection of the committee does infi-
nite credit to the discernment of the patriotic admirers
of our national poet. Only fancy Sir Charles Eastlake
in consultation with Mr. Ruskin and Mr. Carlyle to
assist them in arriving at an harmonious judgment as
_ea
"committee of taste !"'We believe the proposal is made
with the utmost gravity, but it certainly looks more
like
a jeu d'esprit from the Melbourne Tunch.—.Aust r

THE CHINESE INSURGENTS AT
SHANGHAI.

From Shanghai we receive the following account of
the approach and repulse of the Tae-ping insurgents :
" Sunday morning broke on a scene of conflagration and
destruction.. During the night the enemy had advanced
in large numbers to the water suburbs, firing a few gin-
gals at the south gate en• passflit. A large number,
concealed themselves in the ruing both at the south
and west gates during the morning, but for some
two or three hours, during which time the Rev.
J. Hobson read his usual service, no firing was
kept up. The insurgents had, however, worked: their
way round ant oSt: to the French quarter, and had
planted some flags on the temple of the Queen of
Heaven. Our gallant allies set to work in a manner
peculiar to themselves to drive away the danger, and to
prevent its recurrence fired the subur, Which is by far
the richest and most important collection of native
houses. It is here that the Chinese wholesale merehants
live; an immense quantity of-goods, especially sugar,
was stored there, and as the conflagration in its
rapid progress licked up a sugar hong or soy factory,
the flames sprang up with fearful grandeur. About
two o'clock the Kestrel and Hong-Kong came
steaming down against a strong tide, past the
burning suburb, with the news that the rebels had
evacuated Sungkiang, and could not be heard of near
there. Twelve conflagrations that were burning round
the city told them that they would not have to go
far for them now. The firing, too, had recommenced at
the south gates from double-shotted guns and howitzers.
Driven from their cover by these means, and compelled
to take up a new position, the enemy laid himself open
to some fine rifle practice. Macintyre's guns were too
well handled to let them hide in any of the buildings
yet standing, and Lieutenant O'Grady, with some
marines, opened a most destructive fire from the "look
out." This gallant officer is really an excellent shot ;
the braves at Canton have some cause to remember him,
and we believe it is reckoned that in this affair twenty
men fell to his rifle with scarcely one intervening miss.
The immense range of the Enfield bothered the enemy
terribly, and they soon became anxious to get beyond
it. On Sunday night they were quiet enough, and it
was a very striking sight to see their camp fires dotting
for an immense distance the country on the south-west,
while on the east the fire raised by the French was
burning with great brilliancy, leading the foreigners to
believe from the noise made by the falling houses that
the musketry had recommenced.
On Monday morning, the 20th August, the enemy had
advanced in greater strength than ever. It was really a
curious sight to see them moving along every one of the
little paths which run parallel to the city walls, each
man carrying a flag, and all moving in Indian file,
but in excellent order, and quite calm and steady.
On they came, without hesitation, perfectly within
range, and seamed to direct their attention princi-
pally to the west gate. Lieutenant O'Grady had been
sent there with some marines to assist Captain Cava-
nagh, and the Madras artillerymen having rigged up
a Chinese gun, a heavy fire was kept up, and the insur-
gents have to thank the nature of the ground that their
loss was not very large. Strange to say, scarcely a shot
was returned, and the Imperialist soldiers, after firing
a couple of times, got up on the battlements of the
wall, hung their legs over, and smoked away without
any apparent fear, although the foe was lurking among
the graves and rushes below. The cracking of the rifles
seemed to have had no effect in changing the line of
march of the insurgents, who now seemed to threaten
the English settlement in great numbers. They
actually planted some flags within a couple of hundred
yards of the Race-course Stand, but were met with a
shell or two from a gun commanded by Lieutenant
Williams. Lieutenant Crease fired a couple of rockets
at them too, so that they gradually retired. During
the night the dispatch boat Pioneeer had proceeded up
the river, and began dropping 13-inch shells in among
the rebel flags. One of these exploded right in the
centre of about 100 red banners, which immediately
afterwards disappeared. About one o'clock the dispatch
boat Nimrod threw a shell clean over the settlement
away out into the fields an astonishing distance. This
practice was kept up slowly for about two hours, when
the insurgents retreated out of range. The Pioneer
continued firing until the evening had far advanced, but
the enemy had had enough of it, and retreated so far
out towards Zee-ka-wei that they were out of all pos-
sible danger.
On Tuesday but very little work took place, as the
rebels had retreated quite out of range, and, with the
exception of one or two small bodies, none were seen
near enough to fire at. The conflagration raised by the
French in the water suburb was still raging, and it was
melancholy to see hong after hong full of valuable
goods falling a prey to the devouring element. But
nothing could possibly be done to stop it, as the houses
are constructed of the most inflammable materials, and
crowded together as thick as possible.
On Wednesday Mr. Forrest volunteered to take to the
insurgents the despatches that had been sent to Sunglliang
in the Kestrel and Hong-Kong. His offer was accepted,
and every aid afforded him for effecting what seemed to
all a sufficiently daring ride. Accompanied by a single
soldier named Phillips, who had a white napkin
attached to his bayonet, Mr. Forrest rode out of
the south gate, skirted the city wall to the south-west
angle, and then rode for the bridge IThich crosses
the Zee-ka-wei canal. A good system of sig,nals had
been arranged with the west gate, one dip of th 6 flag
on the bayonet meaning all right, and three dips all wron•
Finding no one at the bridge, it was determined
proceed to the rebel camp, which was about a mile
ahead. On nearing the flags, a man was observed on
the roof of a house, and on being hailed by Mr. Forrest,
descended, and by the appearance of many soldiers run-
ning to the camp, evidently gave the alarm. The two
foreigners thereupon rode through the first lot of flags
up to the gate of the camp, and were met by several
soldiers, almost all having European arms in their
possession. On the request being made that some
officer should be sent for, a mass of about 200 rebels
came down, bearing a huge white flag, in the centre
of which was painted the "pa kua," and a fine
daring-looking man, dressed in purple silk, then pre-
sented himself as an officer. After the usual civilities the
officer complained of the resistance thg the foreigners
had offered to them, asserting at the same time that the
insurgents had been invited to Shanghai by foreigners
of all nations. Mr. Forrest was pressed to proceed to
Kee-ka-wai and see the Chung-wang, but declining the
request, that gentleman delivered his despatches and
made his way back to the city wall, making the signal
that all was well. About twenty corpses were passed on
the path alone by the tainted atmosphere the locality of
many more was designated where they could not be
seen, and the loss of the insurgents, taking what was
seen on this ride as evidence, could not have been incon-
siderable.

ADDITIONAL RAILWAY ACCOMMODATION FOR LIVER.
rooz.—We undetstand that the inhabitants of the
district of Toxteth-park will speedily have additional
railway accommodation for the transit of their goods, as
a very extensive railway company have agreed to erect
a new station in Parliament-street, and that to this pro-
ject not the slightest opposition will be made. This
will give great facilities to that end of the town, and
has long been much Tequired.
WILLS AND BEQUESTS.—The will of Major-General
Henry Frederick Lockyer, C. 8., K.H., commander-in-
chief of the forces in Ceylon, and acting lieutenant-
governor of that Island, was administered to in the
London Court of Probate by his relict. It bears date
so far back as the year 1828, and was drawn up by him
when captain of the 3rd Fusilier Buffs. It is contained
on one sheet of paper, and has not since that time been
altered, nor is there any codicil added thereto. He ap-
pointed as his executors Mr. Serjeant Merewether, who,
however, declined to prove the will, and the other exe-
cutor, R. Curry, Esq., of Gosport, died in the lifetime
of the general. In consequence of the surviving exe-
cutor renouncing the grant of probate, letters of admi-
nistration, with the will annexed, were granted to Ellis
Ann Elizabeth Lockyer, the relict, to whom the testator
has left the whole of his property, of every
description, his daughter and only child having died at
Malta so recently as last year. The gallant major-gen-
eral was in his sixty-fourth year, and died at sea, on his
passage hom7ards, on the 30th of August last.—The
will of Marma uke Robert Langdale, Esq., of Garston,
Surrey, and of Gower-street, Bedford-square, was proved
in London on the 25th of October by the executors,
John R. Jourdan' Esq., Alfred Langdale, Esq., the
Rev. George A. Langdale (two of the deceased's sons),
and Francis S. Clayton, Esq. The personalty was
sworn under £120,000. To his wife he has left a life
interest in the sum of £35,000, an immediate legacy of
£2OO, together with the furniture, plate, jewellery, pic-
tures, and other effects not otherwise officially disposed
of ; also the carriages and horses. He has devised his
estates, situated in various parts of Kent, Essex, and
Suffolk, in separate portions to each of his three
sons, and on the decease of their mother they take
amongst them in separate portions the principal sum of
£35,000. To the widow and children of his deceased
son, Marmaduke Robert, he has given the 'sum of
£15,000. There are legicies left to bis executors, and
to some of the servants of his household, which are
directed to be paid free of legacy duty. The residue of
his Property, real and personal, devolves upon his sons,
who take the same equally amongst them. This gen=
tleman was a collector of curiosities and antiquities, and
has left various choice specimens to be distributed
amongst his family. The will bears date the Bth of
March last, and lie died on the 26th of September.—
The will of Nicholas Westby, Esq., late of No. 9, York-
gate, Regent's-park, was proved in London on the 25th of
October, by three of the executors appointed for England
—namely, Lord Radstock, the testator's brother-in-law;
Caroline Mary Westby, the daughter ; and Thomas W.
P. Beauchamp, Esq. The personalty in England was
sworn under £40,000. The executors for Ireland are
Edward Perceval Westby, Esq., the son; and Marcus
Keene, Esq., of Beech Park, Clare, Ireland, the son-in-
law. The will is dated April 28, 1852, a codicil in 1855,
and another in 1857. To his wife the lion. Emily
Susan Laura Waldegrave Westby, he bequeathed a life
interest in the funded property, and also his residence,
the furniture, and other effects he left to her absolutely;
and, upon her decease, the property in England, with
some exceptions, is to be divided in certain proportions
amongst three f his daughters—Emily, Caroline, and
Horatia ; and his property in Ireland equally amongst
all his four daughters. There are specific bequests also
to his son and daughters, and legacies to his executors
and personal friends, and also to his servants. His son,
Edward Perceval, succeeds to the landed estates. The
testator died on the 24th of August last, aged seventy-
three.

THEATRICAL LIFE IN ROME.—The prima donna is
the good mother of a family ; her six children have paid
their
mamma the delicate attention of not spoiling her
voice. Her husband is a baritone or, perhaps, a broken
down gentleman whom she supports. Do not fear that
she will be unfaithful to him ; she has too much to do.
The performances, the rehearsals, the children, the pot
au feu, absorb all her time. * * Her hnsband is to
her a necessary piece of furniture; he takes I,:er to the
theatre and home again, he signs agreements, ho leads
the little boys to school, he buys provisions in the
market.—About.

GALLANT EXPLOIT OF A NAVAL OFFICER.—AB her
Majesty's ship Exmouth lay off Canea, Crete, on the
24th of September, a sailor, who bad been up the rig-
gin, lost his hold and fell into the sea, a depth of thirty
feet ; one or two sailors jumped in after him, but their
efforts were without effect : he sank to the bottom. At
this moment Lieut. G. L. Sulivan came up and jumped
overboard, and it was thought that he, too, had sunk to
rise no more; but after two minutes of breathless sus-
pense he reappeared, much exhausted, but with the mail
he had so bravely risked his life to save; and it is satis-
factory to know that both have now recovered from the
effects of their long immersion. ,lieutenant Sulivan
was complimented and congratulated by Captain Payn-
ter for his gallant deed, while the ship's company came
forward with the noble-heartedness of true British tars
grateful for the safety of their comrade, and expressed
their desire to offer Lieutenant Sulivan a lasting testi-
monial of their esteem, and the sum of from £BO to £9O
was at once handsomely subscribed by them ; but their
kindness was respectfully declined by Lieutenant Suli-
van, who expressed himself sufficiently rewarded by
saving life. In 1852 the same officer received the
Humane Society's silver medal for rescuing a man front
drowning, who had fallen off her Majesty's ship Megnra,
when the ship was going at more than six knots an
hour.
HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT.—FemaIe complaints.
On the mothers of England devolves much and serious re-
sponsibility in securing to their daughters robust health;
frequently, alas I thoughtlessly sacrificed by culpable bashful—
ness at a particular period of life when all-important changes
take place in the female constitution, and upon the proper
management of which hangs future happiness or misery.
Neglect in assisting nature has consigned thousands of Eng—
land's lovely daughters to despondency, disease, and premature
death. Holloway's Pills, especially if aided with the Ointment,
have the happiest effects iii establishing those functions upon
the due performance of which our social position depends, and
our race may be saved from degeneration. Mothers and
daughters may safely use these powerful deobstruent remedies
without feeing the faculty.
The misery, the disappointment, the interminable expense of
", physic-taking," are now happily suspended by the use of Die
Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, which, by a pleasing and
natural action on the system, removes chronic and exhausting
diseases, and replaces languor and pain by vigour and health,
The following are not the least remarkable. Cure 32,836:

A WORD TO FEMALES.
There are two periods, especially in woman's life, -whirl,
require for safe passage, judgment and attention. Irregularity
is apt at those critical times to take place, and to lay the
foundation of future disease. These Pills, safe in action and
effective in result, should be taken at certaia periods, and the
issue will be marvellous both to the young and middle aged.
They prevent nervousness, hysterics, dropsy, and a host of
similar serious disorders, by expelling all impurities from the
system, therefore none should never be without them.
COLTORS, COLDS, AND ASTUMAS.
No medicine will cure colds so quickly as these Pills, when
of long duration or settled on the chest, or even though it has
assumed the first stage of asthma, they may be relied on as a
certain and never failing cure, particularly if the Ointment be
well rubbed into the chest and throat night and morning. If
this catch the eye of any asthmatical person so bad as even
not able to lie down in bed, let him well use these two prepa-
rations for only a week and the result will be marvellous.

' CHILDR'S COMPLAINTS.
It is not generally known, but such isithe fact, that children
require medicines oftener than their parents. Threefourths
of the children die before they attain the age of eight years.
Let mothers then be wise and give to their children small
doses of these invaluable Pills once or twice every week, in
such quantity as may act gently upon the system twice in the
twenty-four hours. For infants a Pill may be crushed and
given as a powder in a little water. The gross humours that
are constantly floating about in the blood of children, the fore-
runners of so many complaints, will thus be expelled, and the
lives of thousands saved and preserved to their parents.
