WHEAT : An active market can be reported during the past

Britain—some purchases having likewise been made for
France. Daily fluctuations in prices have been experienced ;
the market closing with little animation, under the effect of
the Arabia's advice!. Good to prime new white can be

ASHES : Pot continues steady at 7 dols 311 c, with sales of
50 ht.'s, notwithstanding the diminished demand for export,
as the receipts are lighter tha❑ for many years past at this
period of the season. Pearl are steady at 7 dols 75c, and are
taken on arrival. Sal _,Eratus, as for some time past, 7 cents.
COAL : Liverpool is in fair supply, but quiet; 75 tons
Orrel brought 9 dols 4 mos.

HOPS : For new, there is a fair demand, and prices are
more regular ; the sales reach 170 to 180 bales Eastern and
Western at 11c to 14c—mostly 12ic ; and 50 do old, 6c to
7tc cash.

METAIA : The iron market has not undergone any change,
except in English merchant bars, which are dull, and can only
be sold at reduced prices. 150 tons English common bars
sold on private terms. Scotch pig is rather firmer, and may
be quoted 30 dole cash to 31 dole 50c, 6 mos, with sales of
500 tons at 31 dole to 31 dole 50c 6 mos. We understand
the market has been nearly cleared of railroad iron here and to
arrive, at 65 dols to 67 dols Me. 40 tons English boiler
plate brought 3c, 6 mos. Russian sheet is in
good demand, and prices tend upward. With respect
to the market for copper we have to report new
sheathing and yellow metal steady and firm at our nota
tions. Refined ingot is quiet ; last sales of Lake Superior
251-e, 4 mos. Old copper remains scarce and wanted.
There has been more doing in lead, but prices have not
varied.

OILS : Whale continues to be held very firmly, but the
market of late has been quiet. Sperm is held at 1 dol 60c to
1 dol 65c, without sales. Linseed :has become dull, late high
prices having checked consumption—nothing done from first
hands—the price for American and English, in lots, from
store, is 98c to 99c, cash—to arrive, in thirty days, it can be
bought considerably leas. Olive is quiet, at 3 dole 311 c to 4
dole 311 c, 4 mos. Tallow oil brought 11c cash.
PROVISIONS : The market for pork is a shade firmer for
mess and steady for other kinds. The market for beef rules
steady and the demand is moderate, with light receipt S. Prime
mess beef hams remain inactive, and quotations are nominal.
Cut meats aro in limited request, and the market is the turn
easier. There has been some speculative movement in lard,
and with a reduced stock, prices are 3o to 1c higher. Cheese
is selling at 7c to 9c.

RICE has continued in good demand, mostly for export, and
the market is firm, especially for the good and better qualities,
with sales of 1,000 tierces, at 3 dols 311 c to 4 dole 50c,
cash.

SALT continues in fair request, and the current receipts are
readily taken at previous prices. The sales include 1,300
sacks Ashton's Liverpool fine at 1 del 474 c ; 840 do Jeffreys
and Darcey's do, 1 dol 371 c ; and 1,951 do Liverpool ground,
874 c, four months.

SUGAR: We notice a continued good demand from the
trade and refiners, and as holders offer sparingly, prices have
again appreciated one-eighth of a cent, so that they now stand
five-eighths of a cent above the lowest, and one-eighth below
the highest point of the season ; the arrivals of late have been
modezate, and the stock has lessened some 10,000 to 12,000
hlids since first instant. Refined is in good demand, and
sales are making for future delivery at the advance recently
noted.

TALLow : The market remains quiet, but firm ; the sales
are some 30,000 to 40,000 lbs prime, in lots, at 12c cash.
ToßAcco: There is a steady fair demand for most descrip-
tions, and the market is firm. Sales 50 hhds Kentucky at
9c to 15c ; 107 Virginia, If& to 14c; 269 bales Havana, 24c
to 32c ; 114 cases seed leaf, 71c to 24c ; 61 bales Carmen, for
export, 50 do Yara, and .50 do Kentucky stems, on terms we
did not learn,

WirAißriONz remains inactive, but is held very firmly. At
New Bedford, 12,000 lbs Ochotsk soli at 6Sc ; 10,000 lb.
large do, 70c; and here, 5,000 lbs Ochotsk, for export, 67c,
cash. Stock in the country, $OO,OOO lbs.
FREIGHTS : The market has been generally more active,
without any material change in rates ; there is more inquiry
for vessels to load grain for the Continent, principally to
Spanish and Portuguese ports, but they are difficult to be had
for the present, even if comparatively higher rates were offered.
To Liverpool the engagements include 200.000 bushels corn

and wheat at 8d to 81d, closing at the higher rate ; 5,000
brls flour, 2s; 500 trci rice, 22s 6d ; 1,200 bales cotton 8d;

THE AGAPEMONE

SINGULAR MEETING IN LONDON.

On Friday a meeting was held in the concert-room,
Hanover-square, convened by the members of the Agape-
mone Institution, near Bridgewater, for the purpose of
publicly making known the testimony of what the Lord
Jesus has done to redeem the earth. The large room was
densely crowded. At eight o'clock two gentlemen, not
presenting any ecclesiastical appearance, acended the plat-
form. They were dressed in block with coloured waistcoats,
and appeared to belong to what is called the higher class of
society. Their names did not transpire.
After a few minutes of deep silence, the elder gentleman
rose and said—" You may probably have heard of Brother
Prince, although you may have never seen him. Some
have been so foolish as to ask whether Mr. Prince is God,
or the Messiah, or the Holy Ghost. None could ask that
except through foolishness or wickedness. I will tell you
what brother Prince is. He was by nature a child of wrath.
He is by grace a vessel of mercy. You know what a vessel is.
It is that which contains or conveys something from
one place to another. For instance, a jug is a vessel
which contains and conveys water and milk ; a ship is
a vessel which contains and conveys merchandise ; and
Brother Prince is a vessel used by God to contain and
convey mercy. The testimony of Brother Prince is con-
cerning"what Jesus Christ had done by his own person, but
I cannot omit to men'ion what Jesus Christ did in Brother
Prince's presence. (Ironical cheers ) Jesus Christ re-
deemed us from the curse of the law, bei- g made a curse
for us. Here the speaker cited a number of Scripture texts
on the subject of Redemption, and said that when the old
law as a dispensation was fulfilled, it was superseded by
him who fulfilled it; because be who fulfilled it brought in
a new dispensation, namely, the gospel. In like manner
Jesus Christ superseded the law, first, by fulfilling it ;
and secondly, by his own authority. In like manner
the Holy Ghost has superseded the Gospel, first, by fulfill-
ing the Gospel, and, secondly, by his own authority The
Holy Ghost fulfilled the Gospel in Brother Prince. (Hisses )
You will ask me by what means. (Hear, and laughter.) It
means that the Holy Ghost fulfilled in Brother Prince all
that he came to be and to do, as the spirit of the Gospel dis.
pensation. He found Brother Prince a child of wrath, and
made him a child of grace and a vessel of mercy. The Holy
Ghost, by the mouth of his servant, Brother Prince, about 11
years ago, went forth in many places in England and Wales,
testifying of Jesus Christ. But as we read in the word of
the Lord, " In the last days scoffers shall arise," so the
message of Brother Prince was scoffed at by the professing
Church. Yet did the spirit strive through Brother Prince ;
it gathered from the Church and the world a people, few
indeed, but washed in the blood of Jesus Christ, and waiting
for his coming; and when this was done the Holy Ghost
declared that the day of grace was past, that the dispensa-
tion was ended, that the sun of the gospel had set, and that
the last ray of mercy had beamed on man. (Loud hissing.)
Not so, however, with those who had been gathered out by
the message of Brother Prince, for their hearts were
purified, and they were no longer under the dominion of
the Devil. Behold be comes, and his coming is the
redemption of the world. This address was delivered with
extraordinary earnestness and deliberation, amidst con-
siderable interruption from the hearers, and cries of" De-
lusion and blasphemy !"

The younger of the two then rose. He carried a glass in
his eye, according to the modern fashion of some young
men. This at first caused great merriment, but in his address
he was as earnest and as solemn as his colleague. He
repeated the views previously expressed, and said the Holy
Ghost in the servant of the L9rd, Brother Prince, took flesh,
but such was the ignorance on this point, even in the Aga-
pemone itself, that the people there could not see what God
had done. The flesh at first was not willing, and hence the
ignorance. (A loud shout of disapprobation assailed the
speaker, but he took no notice of it.) Such was the igno-
rance of the persons in the Agapemone that they did not see
what God had done until afterwards. He had then
destroyed in Brother Prince all personal consciousness, all
independence, all knowledge of himself. and thus the Holy
Ghost became the life of that body, and thus Jesus Christ,
through the body, was enabled to carry out the purpose for
which he came on earth. (Hisses.)
A Voice : All this is gross blasphemy. It is worse than
Mormonism, which is very bad. (Cheers.)
The Speaker, who was totally unmoved by the uproar
that ensued, said : I come to testify what I have seen.
You are not bound to believe it. When I have told you
what I know, it will be a matter between you and God. I
say again in seriousness that the Holy Ghost took the flesh
of a woman (loud hissea), and declare, in the presence of
all assembled there (the Agapemone), that he would take
flesh, and did so. It was clear that it was God who did
this wonderful thing, and none other. (Loud cries of shame,
shame:).

A Voice : Where did he do this ?
The Speaker : At the Agapemone.
A Voice : When ?

The Speaker

About five years ago

Here great laughter and liissing arose, amidst which the
speaker stood unmoved, and at length said, with perfect
calmness, " I will not go on if you interrupt me. God
will hold you responsible for refusing to bear what I have
to say."

-
The two speakers, having consulted together, then left
the room, amidst general yelling.
A Working Man then moved a resolution that the
statements of the speakers were " contrary to common
sense, degrading to humanity, and blasphemy towards
God."
This was carried with loud cheers.

A Sergeant of Police then stepped forward, and good-
humouredly said : Now, gentlemen, the meeting is over.
The meeting then separated.

CAREER OF A PROFLIGATE WOMAN.

A short time ago application was made to the magistrates
of Durham for a warrant to apprehend William Outhwaite,
joiner, of Claypath, on a charge of bigamy, in having, en
the 14th of June last, married Mary Chandler, a widow,
also residing at Claypath, his former wife, Lavina Jane
Mason Harvey Outhwaite being then alive. It was alleged
on the part of Outhwaite that the woman said to be his
lawful wife had been twice previously married, and that
therefore his marriage with her was invalid. Mr. Superin-
tendent Robison was instructed to investigate the case, and
he ascertained from unquestionable testimony that the mar-
riage of Lavine Jane Mason with Outhwaite was at least
the third matrimonial alliance which she has contracted. In
December, 1844, being then of the age of nineteen, and a
young woman of great personal attractions, she married a
gentleman from Chiltern. On the sth of February, in the
following year, while residing with her husband in Liver-
pool, she formed an acquaintance with a Captain George
Frederick Miles, whose regiment was then stationed at
Birmingham. On the 15th of February she eloped
with the captain, who became so deeply enamoured
of her that be subsequently obtained a marriage
license, and wanted to marry her. Being informed, however,
that it would be necessary to make an affidavit which might
subject him to a prosecution for perjury, he entered into
negotiations with Mr. Chiltern, through the medium of a
third party, with a view to procuring a divorce of the lady
from her lawful husband. Mr. Chiltern appeared nothing
loth to acquiesce in this arrangement, and accepted money
to enable him to procure a divorce from his wife ; but
thinking, probably, that he was under no particular obliga-
tion to keep faith with a man who had robbed him of his
martial rights, he, in his turn, duped the captain, and
devoted the money to other purposes. The infatuated
seducer, foiled in his plan of securing a divorce, afterwards
embarked with Mrs. Chiltern on board a yacht, and went
to the island of Jersey, where he obtained a license, and in
January, 1847, she was married to him under the title et
" spinster." He settled £2OO a year upon her, and
likewise insured his life for £5,000 in the Royal
Exchange Assurance, the policy being placed in the
hands of Mr. Folkes. They continued to live together
until the July following, when some disagreement took
place, and a separation ensued. Captain Miles then
sought to release himself from the trammels into which
his extravagant folly had led him, and in January, 1849,
he was finally released, in the Consistory Court, of the
engagements he had entered into with his charmer. Being
now left to her own resources, Mrs. Chiltern, who was then
in her twenty-fourth year, succeeded in exciting the tender
passion in the heart of William Outhwaite, and finally
induced him to marry her. This third union was cemented
in the district church of Bellerby, in the diocese of Ripon,
where she is described in the marriage registry book as
" spinster," and " lady." This alliance, like the two
former, was soon dissevered by the fickle and inconstant
disposition which the lady exhibited, and since then she has
run a long career of vice and profligacy ; her last liaison
that we have heard of being with a subordinate constable
at Portobello. All traces of her former beauty are now fled,
and riot and dissipation have effectually deprived her of her
powers of enchantment. She is now living in the Flesh-
market Close, in Edinburgh, where Superintendent Robi-
son communicated with her by letter, and received a reply,
of which the following is a literal copy :
" Sir,--I have received yours and shall be most happey
to come forward. lam Is Wife until he can prove other-
wise.—L. J. M. 013THWAITE.-" To Mr. Robison."
The above unique gem sufficiently denotes the intel-
lectual character of the writer, and, bad we not ample
evidence of the fact before us. we should deem it incredible
that any gentleman of rank and position, holding a com-
mission in her Majesty's service, could have become so far
infatuated as to marry such a woman, and to settle £2OO a
year upon her. It is almost needless to say that the magis-
trates of Durham refused to grant a warrant against
Outhwaite.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE

LIVERPOOL

(BEFJRB MR. BOLTON.)

GARROTTING.—WiIIiam Sinclair, Alfred Pooh, and
George Holmes, were brought before Mr. Bolton, at the
police court, by Detectives M'Culloch • and Bibby, on a
charge of having committed a violent assault on John
Jones, of 15, Pembroke Gardens, and for robbing him
of his watch and some money, and also on a charge of
having garotted Me. Handwell, a pupil at the Royal
Infirmary, on Thursday night, in Dansie-street, and
robbing hire of his watch. The prisoners are good-
looking young men. and were dressed in the most
gentlemanly style. The facts of the case, as appeared
in evidence, were as follows :—On Thursday night, Mr.
Handwell was passing through Dansie-street, when he
was suddenly seized by the neck, knocked down, and
robbed of his watch ; and about half-past seven on Friday
night, a young man, named John Jones, was passing
through Heath-street, when he was suddenly seized by
the neck by three men, who flung him down, and robbed
him of his watch, and 3s 6d, and left him in a state of
insensibility in the street. Some time after, Jones went
with the officers to Lime-street, where they saw the
Prisoners' who were at once recognised by Jones - par-
ticularly Sinclair, as the person who robbed him. He
swore most positively to the identity of Sinclair, as the
person who caught him by the neck. In reply to Mr.
Goodier, who was for the prisoner, the witness said, he
was engaged in the snuff trade. Mr. Goodier Oh,
indeed, and you appear to be up to snuff. Mr. Bolton :
He has given his evidence fairly and clearly, and I do

not think you are justified in using that imprOp obser-

vation, sir. Mr. Goodier Oh, very well sir, 'He cross
examined the witness, but could not shake his testimony.
Mr. Handweli ,toted that he was seized in Dansie-street,
about eight o'clock on Thursday night, by three men,
who near;v choke,l him, and robbed him of his watch.
Pools and ilohnrs, to the best of his belief, were two of
the men, although he picked them oat of seven or eight
persons at the station house, yet he would not swear
positively to them. Mr. Clough asked for a remand,
but Mr. Goodier loudly called for their discharge. Mr.
Bolton said : Why, sir, here is the clearest case of evi-
dence I have ever heard of, against one of the men, and
the other two, no doubt, were with him, although, not
positively sworn to. There is abundant evidence for

me to remand them, and I think it absurd to a;li for
heir discharge. I will remand them, in order to give
:he officers an opportunity of looking after the watches.

EXTRAOUDINARY CASE ABOUT A GOLD WATCH.-Mr.
John William Hickson, of 74, St. Anne-street, charged
a female, named Mary Anne limes, with having stolen
his gold watch, value .£2O, and Michael Mooney, a bar-
man at Moss's public-house, 19, Pitt-street, was charged
with having received the same, knowing it to have been
stolen. The prisoners were in custody of detective
officer Horn and officer 504, and the details presented
some unusual features. The prosecutor said, he went
into a beerhouse in Argyle-street, kept by a woman
named Johnston, to get a glass of ale ; just as he entered,
his bat was knocked down on his face, and he was
hustled about, and his watch taken from him. Horn
said, when he heard of the robbery lie went to the
public-house of Mr. Henry Moss, 19, Pitt•street, where
the male prisoner was barman. He asked him about

the watch, when Mooney hesiiated:b7lii)en...le;;ia
that the prosecutor and the female prisoner en!ered the
shop, and gave him the watch to keep. He asked if
there was any one present, and the prisoner replied that
Mrs. Moss was ; he went up stairs and asked Mrs. Moss
the question, and she said there was no one present
when the woman gave the watch to the barman, and
then the female prisoner said she folded the watch un in
a silk handkerchief and gave it to the man: He then

took both into custody.- Mr. Goodier proceeded to
cross-examine the prosecutor, and asked him—Are you
sober P—that is a question. Prosecutor : I am, but it is
very questionable if you are sober just at this moment.
Mr. Bolton : The witness has given his evidence very
correctly. He may have taken something, but these
insinuations have no right to be made ; he gives his
advocatepolice

witness): Are you a married man, and where did you
sleep last night ? Prosecutor : I am a married man,
and slept at home, and that's more than you can say.
Mrs. Johnston, the keeper of the beerhouse, was
examined, and she stated that the prosecutor and the
prisoner entered her house together, and at the time she
said they were talking about the watch ; the guard was
banging loose from the prosecutor's neck, and lie took
off the watch and gave it to the prisoner, telling her to
take care of it for him till morning ; he was very drunk
at the time. This witness was cross-examined by Mr.
Clough, and she prevaricated very much, and officer 504
and Horn swore most positively that Mrs. Johnston
told them two different stories to what she now swore to
about the watch, and the latter officer said she was
afraid to tell the truth, as she resided in the
locality of several bad houses, and got a great
deal of custom from them. Mr. Bolton said he did
not believe a word of what the woman had stated.
It was lamentnble to see such an exhibition in a court of
justice. Mr. Goodier (to the prosecutor): Then you
passed the night with the female prisoner? Prosecutor:
I told you, sir, I slept at home, and I now tell you, that
I did not pass the night with her, nor did I ever see her
to my knowledge before she was arrested. Mr. Goodier :
Oh, I thought you swore so. Mr. Bolton : He swore
nothing of the sort, sir, and if you were attending to the
case you ought to know it • this conduct on your part is
not at all proper, let me tell you. :Mr. Goodier : I defy
any jury on earth to convict them. Mr. Bolton : I don't
think the evidence against the man is sufficient, and I
will discharge him. Let the woman go for trial. Mr.
Goodier : Then, sir, let me tell you, a jury will not
convict her. Mr. Bolton : Sit down, sir, and hold your
tongue. The man (Money) was then discharged, and
put into the witness box, but he seemed so bewildered
that he could not give a clear account of the transaction
at all, and said he was so frightened by the police that
he did not know what he was saying or doing. The
woman was committed for trial, and Mr. Clough said
lie would report the publichouses for the conduct
exhibited by them on the occasion.
A VOYAGE FROM THE GEORGE TO THE BELVEDERE
HOTEL—A gentleman, who gave his name as James
Davidson, a corn merchant from London, charged two
women, named Julia Moran and Mary No wlan, with
having robbed him of two £lO notes, and £ll lOs in
gold. The complainant said he was spending the even
ing with some friends at the George Hotel, and after
having some wine there (a little too much he was free to
confess,) he proceeded on his way to the Belvedere, in
South Castle-street, where he was stopping. The prisoner
Moran followed him from the George, and induced him
to accompany her into the house of the other prisoner in
Atherton street, where he was robbed of £3l lOs which
he had in a small bag, such as merchants use in the corn
exchange, London—the name James was stamped on the
bag. He was awoke by some one pulling at his watch
guard, and then lie seized the person (it was dark,)
who proved to be one of the prisoners, when the other
said she would go for the police, as her house was
14 highly respectable," (?) and she would not allow any
robbery to be committed in it. She went away, and did
come back in about an hour with a policeman, but he was
sure she had deposited his money in some place whilst she
was away. He prevented his watch from " going," Mr.
Goodier got up to cross-examine the witness, and com-
menced by threatening a terrible exposure on him, if he
proceeded in the case ; so it would be better for him to
give it up than suffer the exposure. Mr. Bolton said
such conduct on the part of the advocate was highly
reprehensible—no threat should be used. The witness
told the " learned advocate," that he cared not a straw
for him or his exposure ; his threat would not have the
least influence on him, and he defied him to put any
question that lie would not answer fairly. Mr.
Goodier then proceeded to make the " awful exposure,"
which consisted in his eliciting from the prosecutor that
he was now living on his own property ; that he came
here on the 29th of August, and that he brought £l7O
with him—this was the whole " exposure." The pri-
soners were remanded, as Mr. Clough said there was a
chance of the money turning up—the notes being
known.

THE TRAVELS OF Two SCOTCH YOUTHS.—Tyvo genteel
youths, apparently about 17 years of age, who gave their
names as John Adams and Colin M'Cloud, were charged
by Mr. John Push, an officer of the London and North
Western Railway, who said at nearly one o'clock in the
morning, he was going his rounds with his dog at the
station in Lime-street, when the latter discovered the
boys under the bookstand at the centre of the station.
They had only 2s 8(1 in money. In reply to the magis-
trate, the boys said they were apprentices to an architect
at Perth ; that they had got some holidays, and came to
spend them in Liverpool ; that their money was spent,
and then they went to the railway, thinking to go as far
by that conveyance as the money would take them
towards Glasgow, and then walk the remainder of the
way. Mr. Clough said he believed the story of the boys,
and that they did not contemplate anything wrong.
They were discharged.

(BEFORE MR. AMIN.)

A DEBBv "CnicKEN."—A tall green-looking youth,
named Samuel Hamersly, charged an old woman named
Anne Wilson, with having stolen a sum of money from
him. The complainant was on his way to America,

is remarkable for dullness, remarked that he supposed
that was the reason why the woman had "cut:" This

COUNTY MAGISTRATES COURT.-SATURDAY

(BEFORE MR R. THICKSTONE AND CAPTAIN ASPINALL.)
JUVENILE THIEVES.—Two little girls, named Mary
Williams, aged 12 years, and Mary Clayton, aged 10
years, were charged with stealing a quantity of wearing
apparel. They admitted the offence, and also confessed
that they had been in the habit, for a considerable time,
of committing daily robberies of a like character, and of
disposing of the clothes as they best could, The father
of the girl 'Williams is a labourer, generally employed in
Cheshire, and the father of the other prisoner is a fire-
man on board a steamer, their residences being in Jerry-
bill, Toxteth-park. A washerwotnan, named Ellen
Bramble, was brought up, charged with receiving a
shawl, part of the stolen property, but, as it appeared
that she bad bought it, though very imprudently, from
one of the children, she was discharged with a caution,
the magistrates observing that her conduct in purchasing
any article without enquiry, from children of such an
age, was most impropar. The magistrates ordered the
children to be committed to gaol for a month, and after-
wards to be sent to a reformatory for five years, their
parents to pay for each 2s a week towards their
maintenance.

Ass/xi:l%—A mendicant Spaniard, named Julian
De Cora, was charged with having committed a violent
assault on Mr. Benjamin Scott Riley, of Walton. The
prisoner was trespassing on Mr. Riley's premises, and
when that gentleman was directing him from the ground,
he turned round and struck him a violent blow on the
temple with a stick. He was fined £5, or in default of
payment, two months' imprisonment.

ATTEMPT AT HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

ATTACK ON A STAGE COACH.

A daring and unprecedented highway robbery, resulting
in the death of one person and the wounding of three
others, has been made under the following circumstances :
At about 4/ o'clock, p.m , as the Cimptonville stage was
entering Marysville, and when near Dry Creek, it was
stopped by six mounted highwaymen. The object of the
assault was 100,000 dols. in charge of Messrs. Langton and
Co.'s express messenger. Near the point of attack the
roads fork. Mr. Rideout, dealer in gold dust at Camp-
tonville, was on one of the roads, and the stage on the
other. Mr. Rideout was stopped by the robbers, who all
presented their arms and commanded him to dismount.
For a moment he hesitated, when the highwaymen
threatened to shoot him. Ha then dismounted and
passed towards the stage, which was on the other road
on the opposite side of the ravine. The robbers then
called him back and demanded his money, but being
satisfied that he had none, they took his horse, and per-
mitted him to cross over the ravine to the stage. The
highwaymen then commanded the driver of the stage,
John Gear, to stop, and threatened to kill the first mar.
who should attempt to oppose them in their intentions.
The treasure on board the stage was in charge of Mr.
Dobson, Langton's messenger. He immediately drew
upon the highwaymen, and commenced firing. His first
shpt struck the spokesman of the robber band, and
unhorsed him. By this time Mr. Hideout had reached
the stage, and an indiscriminate fire commenced between
the robbers and the passengers. Forty shots, it is said,
were fired on both sides. The robbers, finding themselves
so strenuously opposed, retreated, leaving the passengers
masters of the field. The driver of the stage, John Gear,
was shot through the right arm above the elbow. Mrs.
Tilghman, wile of a barber in Marysville, was shot in the
head and killed, the ball entering over the right eye and
penetrating the brain. John Campbell, who was also a
passenger, received a glance shot over the eye. Another
passenger was shot in both legs. The stage is completely
riddled with bullet holes. When the stage was stopped
and the firing had commenced, one white man and four
Chinese passengers left it and ran back on the road, and
since then they have not been seen. As the stage was
about starting, and after the first party had retired, a
mounted Mexican commenced firing from the opposite
direction. Mr. Dobson returned his firing and unhorsed
him. Two other men were also seen concealed in the
thicket, who were not mounted—all members of the same
gang, it is supposed. All were Americans save the one '
Mexican just mentioned.—American Paper.

don, Wilts ; St. Germans, Cornwall ; and Daiston, Cum-
berland.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT TO A FBENCH COUNTESS.—At her
Chateau in Manly, recently, the Countess Charles de
Fit zjames having trodden upon a Weiler match, her dress
caught fire. She at once ran towards the sea, which was
some distance from her residence, and her progress natu-
rally increased the intensity of the flame. She was
severely burned, but happily her life is not in danger.
PUBLIC DINNER TO MR. RUSSELL (" TILE TIMES" CRI-
MEAN CORRESPONDENT).—The Hayor (Mr. Andrews) and
the Corporation of Southampton have invited Mr. W. H.
Russell, the Tinos correspondent in the Crimea, to a public
dinner, in commemoration of the valuable services he ren-
dered the nation by his letters from the East. Mr. Russell
is on his return from Moscow, having been the representative
of the leading journal at the coronation of the Czar.
THE Mooßs.—Positively nothing is doing on the moors.
The sportsmen, tired of travelling the hills without getting
a shot, are going south in considerable numbers, and, after
the northern meeting of the week, the Highlands will be
emptied/of the greater portion of their visitors. , Smile of
the best sport has been got on the Carr Bridge Moors,
where, inleleven days' shooting, there were:bagged 1,700
head of grouse, of which 1,100 wero old birds.—Banifshire
Journal.

THE INDIA MAIL.—The East India and China Associa-
tion have entered into correspondence with the Postmaster
General on the inconvenience caused to the mercantile
community by the freqnent detention at Marseilles of the
homeward East India and China mails. It appears that
during the last eighteen months nine instances have oe.
curred in which the monthly mail has been detained on an
average about twelve hours. The Postmasser-General
has promised to communicate with the French authori-
ties on the subject without delay. _ _ _

LETTERS FOR THE COLONY OF NATAL.—Referring to
the notice issued on the 22nd ult., in which it was stated
that letters for the colony of Natal, when forwarded
from this country by ships proceeding only as far as the
Cape of Good Hope, would be liable to an extra charge on
delivery, for their conveyance from the Cape to Natal,
the Postmaster-General has now to announce that he has
received official information of the abolition, by the
government of Natal, of the extra charge in question,
thus placing the letters on the same footing, whether they
are sent to Natal direct or via the Cape of Good Hope.—
By command of the Postmaster-General, ROWLAND HILL,
Sectretary. General Post office, Sept. 23.
WELLINGTON MONllMENT.—lndenendently of 150 speci-
fications, containing plans of St. Paul's Cathedral, which
have been sent abroad, and about 100 more which will be
required for the same purpose, no less than 350 applications
have been sent in from architects, sculptors, and other
artists, for copies of the specifications. It is very clear that
there will be some few models from architects who will pro-
bably study or bear in mind those magnificent monuments
which exist in Westminster Abbey and the cathedrals of
foreign nations, and that the designs of the models will not
be confined to those allegorical devices which are sometimes
wholly unintelligible to even the learned in such matters,
and which require the author, or, after his decease, his
ghost, to explain.

ANOTHER SADLEIR MYSTERY.—A correspondent, upon
whose high character we place the utmost reliance, inquiries
what became of the body alleged to be that of John Sadleir,
which was shipped in the month of February last, in one of
the City of Dublin Company's steamers, and landed at the
Custom House ? It was deposited in a shell, regularly booked
and docketed ; but since that period no one living can tell,
except the parties concerneJ, what became of it, or
where it was interrel, as our correspondent affirms that
it was never heard of in Thurles, Tipperary, or Clonmel,
where inquiries took place subsequently on the subject, with
a view to ascertain the place of burial. That the body found
at Hampstead Heath, and interred in a neighbouring
cemetery, was raised and sent to Ireland is a fact placed
boyond doubt; but from the moment of its arrival at the
Custom House quay all further knowledge of it terminates.
Here is another Sadleir mystery ; who will unravel it ? It
is an important question in elucidation of the eventful history
of John Sadleir.—Carlow Sentinel.
THE FREEHOLD LAND MOVEMENT IN HEREFORDSHIRE.
—This important social and political movement has
nowhere made more rapid progress than in the purely
agricultural county of Hereford. Freehold.land societies
are flourishing in every market town throughout that dis-
trict, and valuable building sites have been secured in each
case through their agency. In Hereford, Leominster, and
Ledbury, recent acquisitions of property have been made
by this means. but by far the greatest step in advance has
been taken by the Ross society, which has only been
established some six years, and in that time has become
possessed of four most eligible estates in close proximity
to the town, besides which the society has just laid out a
handsome new street to the railway station, and is alto-
gether one of the most thriving associations of this kind
in the kingdom. The Ross Freehold Land Society was
established by a few working men, and inaugurated under
the auspices of the renowned James Taylor, of Birming-
ham. The number of intelligent and independent voters
of the labouring class thus added to the register will have
a telling effect on the next election for HezTfordshire.

THE WOODSIDE PROMENADE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES.
Sir,—Allow me to call your attention to the following
abuse of power on the part of some one at Woodside
Ferry, viz., the closing of the public promenade there at
seven o'clock in the evening, instead of eight o'clock, as
has been the rule heretofore. Now, as this is rather a
favourite resort of many of the residents of Birkenhead,
who go down there after the hours of business to inhale
the salubrious breeze from the river, and enjoy the many
beautiful sights to be seen from the pier, it is a clear
case of injustice to deprive them of it. The excuse I
believe is, that sundry unruly boys are in the habit of
congregating there, and making a disturbance; but, surely,
there is so:re other way of remedying this, than by closing
the gates altogether. Let the policemen be instructed to
remove any noisy individual, and peace will soon be
restored; but. to punish the whole for the sins of a very
few, is a decided infraction of the spirit of the British
constitution, and, in this case, a manifest wrong to the
great majority of those who frequent the promenade at
Woodside.—Yours, &c., A WOODSIDEAN.
Sept. 26, 1856.

WHIRLWIND AT GLASTONBURY.—A tornado or whirl-
wind passed over this town on Monday last. About two
o'clock p.m. a terrible commotion in the air gave notice of
its approach, and in an instant it swept across the lower-
end of the town, in a direction almost due east, stripping
thousands of tiles from the houses, carrying
off the roofs of
several buildings, and uprooting or tearing limb from limb
the trees standing in its course. In an orchard behind St.
John's church twenty four large apple trees were completely
destroyed, and further on several hundreds of apple and other
trees shared the same fate. A party of giants bent on mis-
chief could not have produced a scene of greater devastation.
Northload-street was covered with fallen tiles and chimneys,
and the stables of the George Hotel suffered severely. It
moved with astonishing rapidity, producing a noise like a
railway train, but the breadth of its destructive influence
could not have exceeded 100 yards.
