• Ttrast-(for OP VOLUNTEERS.-0a Saturday afternoon
the Ist Lancashire, Captain Bousfield's Company, the
15th Lancashire, Captain Russell's Company, the Fair-
field and the Liverpool Welsh divisions of 'volunteers, in
all about' 350 strong, met, at the Birchfield . Barracks.
There were many 'ladies and gentlemen on the drill
ground. The. companies, Under the command of Capt.
Walter, went through their evolutions with a good deal
of precision and ease. About half-past four the men
gave a royal salute, and the band struck up the National
Anthem. Immediately afterwards' the corps, headed by,
the , Ist Lancashire band, marched four abreast
alonglslington, down Shaw's-brow, and up Dale-street
to the Exchange, where a very large crowdcongregated.
The band played " God Save the. Queen," and the united
companies returned by another and more circuitous route
o the barracks.: The streets were lined with spectators,
among whom Were a large number of ladies. The fine
appearance pf the volunteers' the precision. of their
movements, and -their general soldier-like appearance,
drew forth much admiration from all' quarters.
THE GREAT TASMANIA.7---This fine ship docked iii
the Sandon-dock yesterday morning. The, troops have.
been discharged,. and, there were in the Workhouse
Hospital last night' about 140 men, suffering trent
scurvy, &c. It, would be manifestly to the.prejudiceof ,1
justice that. the. various ex parte statement; afloat should
be published, because the whole matter will be inquired'
into with a rigorous minuteness to-day by a coroner's
jury. Last ,night one poor fellow was evidentlY fast
approaching death, And another was not expected, to
m 'A•tao ibue- aotue-vatx,valtoyr ICttow
named :Michael Curtin, a native of Ireland;' and it is
the literal truth when we ;say that he is merely the
frame of • a human being covered with skin.' A
more shocking spectacle was probably never
;teen. Post mortems have been made in four cases, and
'it was ascertained 'that, whilst there was every symptom
of starvation and neglect present in the stomachs and
bowels of the deceased, there was an absence of all
features which would tend to show that, when living,
the poor fellows had been drunkards. Strange state-
ments have been made in, reference to the stores, all of
,which were supplied by the Government, and not by the
.awners of the ship; but we could scarcely credit them
unless they shall. be made upon oath. We Understand
that a Government official called at the workhouse yes-
terday, and requested to be supplied with the names
of witnesses intended to be brought' forward at the
inquest, to-dey, and 'alsO as. to the particular symptoms
exhibited by the deceased four men on post mortein
examination; but the workhouse anthorities"very pro-
perly, we think, .declined to supply .any such( informa-
tion unless, before the corener: This case has.enlisted
so much interest, and is of so extraordinary a character,
that we shall to-morrow present our readers with a very
full report of the whole investigation to take place
to-day.' •

THE PAPER DUTY AND INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.
—We are given to understand that a recent case of
domestic piracy, has strengthened what we have always
considered to be the wish of respectable American pub-
lishers for an international copyright. Uoder the old
, system, when advance sheets of new works were paid
for by American publishers and procured from those
of England, it was usual with the American trade
to respect the agreement. But in the recent case
of Captain 11I'Clintock's "narrative of the Voyage of
the Fox," of which advance sheets were procured by
the eminent Boston firm, Messrs. Ticknor and Fields,
from Mr. Murray, the old tacit understanding was
infringed, and a more than usually unscrupulous
Amencan firm announced another and cheaper edition
of M'Clintock. The respectable American publishers
are now therefore thoroughly wearied of what we have
termed tb,e " piratical scramble " for .new English
b mks, and would, we believe, most willingly co-operate
with their English brethren to procure an International
Copyright Treaty.--CYitic.
WRECK ON iTHE NORFOLK COAST.—PALLING, Friday
Night.—About three o'clock this morning the •schooner
Eliza, laden with coals, from Shields to London, missed
stays in a heavy squall and shift of wind, and while in
the act of wearing, took the ground, there being much
sea on at the time. The new life-boat belonging to the
Royal National Lifeboat Institution, was manned and
launched as soon as possible, and, proceeded off to the
wreck, and afterwards brought on shore the ship's crew
of seven 'min. The vessel is full of water, and the sea
breaking completely over her. It is therefore expected
that she willtbecome a total wreck. Although the hour
was early, it was gratifying to observe the promptitude
with which the life-boat's crew turned put of their beds
to go off to the rescue of their fello** creatures. The
National Institutions life-boat on this station, like all its,
boats, is in first-rate order, and always ready for instan-
taneous service, as was the case; fortunately, on the
occasion in question.

although this observation is not strictly accurate, it is in
some. degree appropriate, and has a certain smack' of
truth. If the Pope is not on roes,.ha is
certainly on

tion. The Pope's chair is supported by the -hayonetand bayonets to thorns have points clearly

OITTRAOE ON A FEMALE, AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE,—
On Tuesday night, a man from Manchester, a sawyer
by trade, who lodged with a person named Aldred, in
Bilston, South Staffordshire, with the assistance of the
landlord, outraged a respectable female named Mary
Thompson, a fellow-lodger; and, overcome with shame,
the poor woman hung herself in her bedroom the follow,-
ing night. After hanging half an 'hour she was cut
down, and medical aid bring sent for, she was with
great difficulty, after upwards of an hour's exertion,
restored to consciousness. Aldred has been committed
to the sessions for his share in the foul transaction, but
Banks has escaped for the present.
BIRTH TN A DUNGEON.-It sounds incredibly strange
and monstrous that in civilised England, in the nine-
teenth century, it could be possible for a woman to
commit any offence to merit her being detained in a
dungeon. Nevertbelesi such an incarceration is of
common occurrence in Brighton; and not later than
Thursday night last, an unfortunate female who had
'been remanded from that day's bench of magistrates,
was, in onelof the undergrOund dungeons or cells of the
Town-hall, seized with the pains of labour and gave
birth-to a child—a girl—before any assistance could be
'rendered her.--Brighton. Observer.

LONDON GENERAL PORTERS'. BENEVOLENT INSTI-
TUTION.--The second anniversary meeting of this
institution was held on Friday evening at the London
Tavern, Bishopsgate-street; S. Gurney, Esq., M.P., in
the chair, supported by the partners in the most eminent
houses in the City, &c. The meeting was addressed by
Mr. George Moore, who moved the adoption of the
report, which showed that the balance standing to the
credit of the society was £2,600, whereas at the last
meeting it was £869, so that the balance had increased
since then more thin £1,700. Their great success was
mainly due to the liberal subscriptions of the' employers.
