Immediately afterwards Captain Palmer handed the
man over to the police. The pistol was found to be
loaded with ball.

WRECK OF THE SHIP "SUNDA" AND

LOSS OF LIFE.

On Monday the ship Sunda, under command of
Captain Lemon, sailed from the Mersey for Aden,
with a cargo of coal in tow of the steam tug Sea King.
Through some unforeseen or unexplained circumstance
the vessel in proceeding down the Formby Channel
struck on the tail of one of the banks, and notwith-
standing the exertions of the &a King, opposed to •
feat ebbing tide, the Sunda stuck fast on the bank.
The wind at the time—between five and six p.m.—was
blowing hard, and as the tide receded a terrific
squall struck the ship and heeled her right over. The
tug boat, which had remained in close attendance all
the time managed to a certain extent to clew with the
Sunda, sad rescue the pilot andaix of the crew. Owing
to the prevalence of a heavy sea, the Sea King could
render but little assistance to the rest of the crew and
officers on board the disabled ship, and the pilot
advised the captain of the tug to run for Liverpool and
inform the lifeboat authorities. This having been done
the Liverpool lifeboat was taken in tow by the steam.
tug Tartar. Captain Miller. and both vessels reached
the scene of the disaster, when the hull of the ship was
completely submerged, and those who had been on
board the vessel had taken refuge in the upper
rigging. The lifeboat reacted the captain, mate, and
seven men; but six of the crew 11,1 I,en previously

A MAN KILLED BY HIS WIFE.

On Monday, a woman named Osbaldeston, about
48 years of ak,e, was brought before the magistrates
at the Preeton Police-court, and charged with causing
the death of her husband, George Osbaldeston, by
cutting him in the neck with a knife. The deceased
man, who was forty-three yearn of age, lived in Crown-
street, Preaton, and was formerly a factory operative,
, but for several years, in consequence of ill health, he
had merely looked after the house, while his wife and
two of his sons went to a cotton factory and earned
the money requisite to keep him and all of them. For
some time Osbaldeston and bin wife bad not agreed so
well as formerly, and he had often beaten her. On
Sunday night, about nine o'clock, while his wife
and a lodger were sitting in the house, Osbaldeston
came in. fie was in a passion, but appeared to be
sober. His wife then began to dry some article
of clothing before the fire, and while she was doing so
he commenced calling her all sorts of names. She, in
return, called him eome ugly names, and, among
the rest, " nut-cracker"— an expression referring to
some malformation which Osbaldeston had about his
lips or teeth. He then struck her several times on the
face and knocked her down. She got up, sat on a
chair, and afterwards he kicked her. In a few minutes
she began preparing supper for one of the family, and
for some time the " jarring" before referred to was
kept up. At last Mrs. Osbaldeston, who had in the
meantime received more abuse, said, holding in her
hand • knife with which she had been cutting some
bread, "If you strike me again, 11l send this knife
through yen." Osbaldeston here got up from his chair
and struck his wife on the head with his fist, and she
then hit him on the side of the neck with the knife—
s common table-knife, much worn at the point, and
rather sharp. The knife-point struck Osbaldeston right
on the jugular vein, and penetrated about half-an-
inch through it into the flesh. Immediately after being
hit Osbaldeston fell upon the fluor. Blood flowed
profusely from the wound, and a man named Sumner
who was in the house, finding it was impossible to
stop it, sent for medical aid. Dr. Smith's assistant
came soon afterwards, but Osbaldeston had bled to
death before he arrived. A police-constable appre-
hended Mrs. Osbaldeston, and on charging her with
causing the death of her husband, she replied, "I was
making the tea when he struck me, and I threw the
knife; I did not mean to hit him, God knows."

INDIOESTION.

Indigestion is a disorder of the stomach and first fates
films or bowels, and sometimes extends itself to other
organs of the body.
T he symptoms of Indigestion are—Difficult Digestion
of the Food, a sense of Oppression and Uneasinessof the
Bowels, sometimes Loostness,Furred Tongue, Impaired
Stet ngth, Flatulence, Si. knees. Headache, Palpitation
of the Heart, Pains in the l'it of the Stomach and
towards the Right Side, Sallowness of Complexion, De-
pression of Spirits, Nervousness, Disturbed Sleep, Cold
Limbs, Feverish /feat, Flushing of the Free, Prynessin
the Mouth, Weakness in the knees; sometimea the sight
is dim, and the person is laid prostrate, and thus the
happiness of life, as far as health is concerned, is
destroyed.
In the treatment of Indigestion, the object to lie sought
is to restore the stomach and the system at large to their
proper tone and strength. These ends nmst be obtsined
by the use of very mild api rients, vegetable bitters, and
astringents. These remedies are joke found in

FRANCE AND THE POPE.

The Pope has been informed by the Emperor Na-
poleon that France will uphold his temporal power
against all comers, and reoccupy Rome in his name in
case of rebellion or invasion. The bearer of this im-
portant message was Cardinal Reisach,who lately passed
a few weeks in France, and was commissioned by the
Emperor to acquaint the Holy Father with his
solve. The Spanish men-of-war are still at anchor if
Civita Vecchia; but not content with placing a num-
ber of men and guns at the disposal of the Pone,
Queen Isabel has written again to tell His Holiness
that nothing would give her greater pleasure than to
be allowed to cede him one of her own provinces,
should her troops fail in maintaining his regal preroga-
tive at Rome. Whose offers the Pope, who finds
himself suddenly surrounded by friends, will eventu-
ally accept, cannot be foreseen. Probably he will be
guided by circumstances rather than premature

A CRITICAL POINT FOR POACHERS.

Oa Saturday last, at the Shire-hall, Nottingham,
before Mr. Sherbroke and other magistrates, John
Selby was charred with night poschinz on the pre-
serves of the Esrl of Chesterfield, at Burton Joyce.
A game watcher spoke to geeing the prisoner dragging
a net at eight o'clock on the night of the 30t1 of Sep-
tember. The defence set up by the prisoner's solicitor
was that his client was in march of the donkey which
had strayed from home, and that the prisoner wandered
up to the watcher, who was on his hands and knees,
believing him to he the donkey in question. The
magistrates said they had no doubt about the offence
being committed, and sentenced the prisoner to a
month's hard labour, and to find sureties for twelve
months at the expiration of that period. The pri-
soner's solicitor thereupon submitted that the offence
was committed too early in the evening to he night
poaching. The magietratee inquired of the police
officer into whose charge the prisoner wag given the
exact time in the evening when be received the man
Into custody, and he replied at half-pant seven o'clock.
An almanack was brought into requisition to ascertain
the time of sunset on the 30th of September. and it
was found to be 5. 41 p.m. The words of the Act,
Mr. Sherbrooke said, were 'one hour after sunset,
allowing for a certain period which would elapse
between the time of the arrest and the actual commis-
sion of the offence. The magistrates thought it was
too near a thing upon which to convict, and therefore
revoked their former decision, both as regarded the
imprisonment and the sureties, the prisoner being
discharged.

WITCHCRAFT IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.

During the hearing of a charge of assault at Retford
Petty Sessions recently, preferred by an acricultural
servant named Swallow against& fellow servant named
Bellamy, the following statement was made which
created the utmost astonishment, and proved imam.
trovertibly that, notwithstanding all the Popular efforts
being made to promote the moral and intellectual im-
provement of the masses, there yet remains many
strong proofs of the extensive hold which superstition
and credulity have on their minds

The comp'ainant said he and the defendant were fellow
servante at Mr Elite',, North Laverton, deft mime being first
and he second man. Defendant had frequently fat.cied
notnethmg wax miss with the horsea of which they had
charge, and blamed complainant for using tome Influence
with the animals, which caused them to appear as efend-
ant fancied Ile frequently threatened complainaht with
ill-trenment. " lie would,,, he said, bleed him amt let

wu ea frightened that on the day of the assault he went
over to Murton and told his father On his return, having
also told hie master, be was sent by the Utter to defend-
ant, who sum ploughing in one of too fields. When com-
plainant got to defendant the latter sake I him where
he had leen, and on befog told to Stamm, after saying
complainant had some witchcraft about him, defendant
began to beat and strike him about the head, face, and
neck with the thick end of the whipsitock unmercifully.
Intendant said It wee all true that complainant had been
bewitching the horses, bathe did not do it willingly. He
woe made by another party, and as be defendant had h,ard
that if he got dragoies blood and gave some to the horses
when so bewitched it wouid send it away, he had done to,
and found it correct. Lie had done it in various ways, and

also stated that he had got some charms, which he was told

THE LYE.

On Monday the 29th ult, the first of the Penny Enter-
tainments for this season, took place in the Working
Man's Institution, under the Presidency of Mr. Pardee,
On this, as on former occasions, the attendance was
everything that could be reasonably expected, awl the
profound attention given to the various performers
throughout the evening, argued an unmistakeable desire
on the part of the public for such rational amusements.
'Pile readings by Messrs. A. Freer awl J. Myron' were
much applauded, and the songs by Miss Homer, of
Cradley, were executed in a very creditable manner. We
trust that the anew.sn which has hitherto been gained by
these entertainments sill attend them throughout this
season. _ .

TISK Honor NAIL MAKFR.'l4ritieri. —On Tuesday,
the noth kilt, a meeting if the men out on strike in the
shove trade was held at Mr. W. Hayes', Cross Walk; and
it was unanimously resolved to remain out on strike until
the masters complied with their demands. At the close
of the meeting, from information received, a deputation
wax appointed to wait upon Mr. W. Walker, one of the
leading mash is of the trade, which resulted in the men
going in to work at the advance of threepence per thou-
sand. We trust the noble example set by this firm will
be quickly followed by the few remaining firms now hold-
ing out against the demands of the men.
LEcrinig..—On Wednesday, the 31st ult, a lecture was
delivered in the National ticlioarooru, by the Rev. J.

A "FRIENDLY" SOCIETY.

A meetin • of the Liverpool Philanthropic Friendly!
Society was held in the Lord Nelson-sty-et Concert-
hall, on Friday evening. Two parties appeared to
have formed on some question of management, and to
have enforced their opinions by very stringent
measures. They were called the " whites " and the
"blurs," and met in force before the opening of the
doors, and had several preliminary collisions in the
streets. The "scene" imide, however, Was some-
thing the like of which has not been seen in England
for many a day. The hall was packed in a few
minutes. Men and boys produced sticks and shills.
laghs which they whirled over their heads and threat-
ened defiance to all of the opposing party. The plat.
form was taken possession of by bodies of the " blues"
and "whites," the table for the use of the chair-
man was broken to pieces, and the fragments
armed bg those who had not already obtained
sticks, and used as weapons of offence and de-
fence, and broken heads and bloody noses were the
order of the evening. Constant rushee were made from
one side of the platform to the other, and dozens of
men were swept off on to the Ile 4' beneath, but their
places were supplied by others who jumped out of the
gallery. Attempts were frequently made by parties in
the body of the hall to get on to the platform, but
their attempts were in many insta,nces frustrated by
those who had already obtained possession of the
platform, and who used their sticks with terrific force
on the unfortunate fellows' heads. The shrieks of
some women who had obtained admittance to the hall
were heard loud above the din, and, of course, served
to increase the confusion. Many persons received
severe injuries. Business was, of course, impossible.
One man had his hand stabbed in the fleshy part, blood
, flowing from the wound profusely. To escape from
the nuke some men climbed up off the platform on to
, the gallery, and were helped up by their friends. The
gas was put out; the forms in the gallery were torn to
pieces; and, to crown all, a bag of chloride of lime
was thrown by some "rough" on to the platform,
giving many of the occupants a good dusting, and
clearing the platform more effectually than anything
else could have done. Order was then gradually
restored, and a force of "police" succeeded in keeping
order outside. The gallery windows were nearly all
smashed.

LIABILITY OF RAILWAY COMPANIES
TO PASSENGERS.

At the Sheriff's Court in London, Mr. Commis-
sioner Kerr decided an important point in respect
of the liability of railway companies to the passengers
they carry. On the sth of August a merchant of
Honndeditch. London, named Wolfeohn, took a return
ticket at the Broad-street station, to travel thence to
Kew and back. When he went to the Kew station to
return, he inquired of the man stationed at the wicket
there if "this train," meaning one about to start, went
through to Broad-street. He WM answered in the
affirmative, and accordingly took his seat. But when
this train, which was really a a, -eclat one sent before
the ordinary train, reached Camden station, Mr.
Wolfsohn was informed that it did not go to Broad-
street. and he was compelled to alight, and to wait
for another train. He waited till two trains paned,
but could not get a seat, for they were full. He
was roughly used by the attendenta at the Camden '
station, and on he took a cab to his home, and !
sued the company for damages for breach of contract. I
After hearing all the evidence, his honour decided in I
favour of the plaintiff, who got his verdict with costa.
KM Honour was of opinion that there was evidence of
the contract between plaintdf and the Railway
company in the tickets, and prima facie there was a
contract to icirry the plaintiff right through to Broad.
street. The company had clothed the man at the
wicket with authority, and his honour considered
that plaintiff was quite justified in applying to him
for inforniaticn as to the destination of the train.
It was clear that the man at the wicket had mistaken
the special tram for the ordinary train, and wnen he
was asked whether "this train" went right through
to Broad.etreet, he answered in the affirmative. His
Honour considered that the plaintiff had acted pro-
perly in applying to this man, and after the defendants
had clothed him with authority the Court did not see
how they could now repudiate it.

JEFFERSON DAVIS ON FENIANISM.

Jefferson Davis, in a recent conversation with hi. medical
attendant at Fortress Monroe, made a remark about Feniai,
ism which expresses the view. of the mAnity of American
politicians whose opinions are not Influenced by aide lames.
He said

This Fenian movement for Ireland is • farce to
make angels weep. The last attempt to liberate Ire-
land was made in 1818, when all Europe was in • con-
vulsive and volcanic condition. History gives no ex-
ample of an oppressed race that had accepted exile re-
turning with success to liberate their native land. It
is a mere catchpenny clamour of designing dema-
gogues in so far as its Cis -Atlantic aspect is concerned,
nor is there in Ireland an organisation, or even •
vigorous purpose, to accomplish the object proposed.
England's control over the sea is absolute—at least, so
near home, and against anything less powerful than
the navies of France and America. To land men and
arms in sufficient quantities in any part of Ireland by
powerful squadrons on one side against squadrons on
the other, conveying transport fleets, would require
desperate sea tights and great victories. The men
engaged in the Fenian enterprise must be either fools
or rogues, and such impractical and pigmy threatening
of her empire would be ludicrous if It were not so sail.
Against the rockbound coasts of the British Isles,
stormclouds of • thousand-fold the Fenian power had
dashed with a clamour of waves and of blinding spray,
but next morning the sun shone bright again, and only
on a shore strewn with rocks and timbers could evi-
dence be found of any past commotion.
Bit (adds a correepondent) the Stephens section of the
Fenian brotherhood also consider this the fitting Pros to
strike a blow for Ireland's liberation.

PRCEPIA AND THE LOTFERHE3.--"It is asserted
says the Union, "that all the lotteries ending in the
countries incorporated with the Prussian monarchy
will be suppressed; but if we may believe the Europe
of Frankfort, morality will gain nothing by that step;
for the large Prussian one will be maintained, and the
number of tickets increased to 120,000 in consequence
of the suppression of its rivals. The tickets will be
purchased, therefore, at Berlin instead of Frankfort
or elsewhere. The whole change will amount to
nothing more."

CORRESPONDENCE.

n-0 wish it to be distinctly understood that h inserting
letters in this col wan, 00 do not thereby iilentifg ourselves
with the opinions of our Correspondents.

To the Elitor qf the " Ohserrer."

DEAR Sin,—A mystery seems to hang over the legality
of the new Town Act, if one is to believe the rumour
which is current in the town. Is it possible that the Act
is incomplete, and that an addition will have to be made
to it before it can be brought into All iv,. operation!
Certainly this cannot possibly be the ease alter all the
legal advice which has been taken, and the amount of
money which has been spent upon it. If it be true I
shall be inclined to propose that the new Act, and all
those legal gentlemen who have been handsomely pail
and instrumental in obtaining this Royal charter should
at once be shipped off to Australia for the good of the
inhabitants of that far-off country.
When a legal meeting is called under the new Act, I
should propose that the man who obtained the greatest
number of votes in the late election, should be chairman
for the first year at least ; this being due to the voters of
t iiii town, in return for the pecuniary sacrifices made in
obtaining a new Act.
If you will be kind enough to insert this question and
suggestion, in order that your liilineroUlt readers may he
properly informed upon the subject. I shall be amply re-
paid for taking up pen and ink.
Yours truly,
NEIIO.
