ARREST or PUGILIST% BY A LIVERPOOL MA4IIB-
- Robertson Gladstone, a local magistrate
(brother of the late Chancellor of the Exchequer), was
passing Williamson-square, Liverpool, on Tuesday after-
noon, when he saw two men, savagely fighting. The
crowd about were aiding the men when Mr. Gladstone,
who is remarkably tall and strong, interfered, collared
both the combatants, and no (policeman being near) was
taking them to Bridewell when one escaped. Of the other
Mr. Gladstone retained a firm hold until he met an offieer,
who took him to Bridewell. Yesterday the prisoner, wheat
name was Lyms, and who is an outfitter's assistant, was I
brought up and ordered to pay a fine of 10s, and costs.
FEMALE EMIGRATION.—Miss Rye has received
official notice of the arrival in Melbourne of the ship Red
Jacket. The ship was reported clean and in good order
throughout. The young people landed in good health,
and have expressed themselves satisfied with the treat-
ment they received during the voyage. On the arrival of
the ship at Melbourne 20 of the single girls and all the I
married people were sent to the depot at Geelong, 10 to
Warrambool, 10 to Belfast, and 10 to Portland. The im-
migration officer in charge of the Melbourne depot had in- k
tended mending 10 also to Port Albert, but at the end of g
the second day every girl had been hired at good wages,
and there was not one left to send. "Three only out of
my 99 girls in this ship," writes Miss Rye, " are reported
as persons of bad character (and I have thank Birming-
ham for two of these), as I find by looking over
my hooks that in all three cases I have had
evidently false characters given me. I should like
it to be distinctly understood that for the future
I shall, in similar cams publish the names of the
girls and of all persons Wilfully misleading me on this
subject. I do not surely ask too much when I ask for
honest answers to plain question"). With fair play, and
the moral support of trutbfolness in referees, this work
may continue, prosper, and be a blessing to thousands of
struggling women ; but if employers will falsify facts to
suit their own selfish purposes, the sooner I end my la-
bours the better. We have allowed female emigration to
drift into such a hopeless condition that it will only be by
• very severe straggle indeed we shall ever be able to re-
cover our position, and I do implore all persons, and
especially all who believe in prevention being better
cure, to give me all the moral support in their power
while I sin trying to solve this problem. My next ship is
the Atalanta, and she will leave Plymouth for Melbourne
on the 11th of April."
RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT BRIGHTON.—About five
o'clock yesterday morning, as a goods train was being
shuntedinto the Brighton terminus down the steep incline
which leads to the low level goods yard, a coupling chain
broke, and • number of the loaded trucks and vans, with
two break vans attached, were separated from the engine
which controlled their descent. At the bottom of the
goods yard is • large storage shed abutting upon Trafalgar-
street. The detached portion of the train had acquired
extreme velocity before it reached this building, and not-
withstanding that there was an intervening platform,
filled with flour and grain in sacks, the two break vans
were dashed completely through the walls and roof of the
abed ; the gable and end of the building, the wreck of the
platform, and a large number of the grain sacks being
thrown into the street with a most alarming crash
which roused all the adjacent neighbourhood. One
of the vans, embedded in the wreck, overhung the
street, and threatenedevery moment to fall ; hut anxiety to
know whether any passer by had been crushed prompted
most energetio efforts to remove the mass of material in
the street. About 8 o'clock it was ascertained that no one
bad been crushed, and the van was then allowed to fall
into the street, whence it was removed. By the
afternoon the thoroughfare was restored. The guard
of the train was in one of the two vans which were
smashed, but he jumped out when he saw an accident
could not be avoided, and thus escaped unhurt. Last year
• similar accident happened at the other end of the same
shed, and on that °maroon a shop on the opposite side of
the street was damaged by one of the trucks being driven
into it. On Tuesday afternoon a youth employed at the
Brighton ash depot, on the Lewes rosd,was killed by being
crushed between the buffers of two trucks which were
being loaded in the siding.
