THE DAY'S NEWS.

Birkenhead has had its dull existence enlivened
by a widely placarded promise, from one of its
Reverend res'dents, cf £1,600 to any person who
will prove the truth of some fundamental doctrines
of the Church of Rome. What is to be considered

proof ?—and to whom ?—are interesting queries
which the zealous controversialist leaves in very

safe obscuri

We cannot blame the prudence of
the precautions he may have thus taken not to be
convinced out of his money; but, as the placards
run—and giving them credit for sincerity—it

would seem as though there were at least one
Protestant clergyman to whom Roman Catholic
opinions would be worth a very respectable share
of `• the mammon of unrighteousness." En attend
ant, might he not forget both priest awl Levite, and
play the `• Good Samaritan" with the money ?

Review follows review, and still they come.
Those foreign legions to whose continued presence
among us every principle of the 13titish constitu-
tion—and breeches pocket, is so sensitive, are
apparently no nearer being disbanded than when
the contrary assurance was made to Parliament.
The review of 10,000 of them at Colchester, by the
puke of Carnbridv,e, is to be one of the latest, we
►ill not say the cheapest, of the " triumphs" which
peace, "no less than war" certainly, is truly
claimed to possess. Another performance of the
same character was, the military evolutions and
siege operations of the Chatham garrison, con-
ducted yesterday under the inspection of His
Royal Highness.

The Walmer Castle, Captain Daniel, arrived from
Pert Phillip, Australia, off Plymouth, yesterday.
She brings 160 passengers, 61,000 ounces of gold,
and a partial cargo of wool. Her news have been
anticipated by the Royal Charter.
The New York correspondent of the Times
announces that steps are under consideration, both
at Cincinnati and New York, for the election of
Vigilance Committees, after the model of that at
Sar, Francisco, which has lately, in addition to its
other distinctions, arrested a judge (Terry) for
stabbing one of its officers, and intercepted and
seized a supply of arms belonging to the Federal
Government. The fear on the part of respectable
people to aid in enforcing the law, and the corrup-
tion or criminal sympathies of theor:tinary occupants
of the Jury Box and Bench, are set out as produc-
inn a failure of justice and triumph of rascality,
which leave the well disposed portion of the
Republic no other resource.
The news from Nicaragua is bad. President
Walker walks in the steps of Louis Napoleon with
some transatlantic improvements. Egress and
ingress from the republic are jealously super-
vised. Men that know too much have many
annoyances, and may not leave. Letters are
opened and confiscated. Freedom of speech is
dangerous ; and several very Sudden deaths have
occurred of persons unconnected with the Walker
system. While he is at Granada, President Rivas
is at Leon pith his ministry, and 1,500 soldiers.
The Commissioners of the Seven Powers who
are to sit upon :lie condition and requirements of
the Danubian Principalities, are said to possess
far less power than their high position in European

diplomacy would have prepared people to expect.
Their duties will be limited to a report which
" The Paris Conference" will, in a new ses.

sion, consider and finally decide upon. The
gossip, therefore, which names Prince Pierre Bona•
parte the future ruler of the United Principali-
ties, is at least premature, though good autho-
rities pretend to predict that the nomina-
tion will depend mainly on the now ascendent
influence of the Court of the Tuilleries.
In the meantime, the Sultan, who has just
appointed Prince Alexander Ghika as Lieutenant
Governor of Wallachia, the larger of the two
provinces, has given grave and lasting offence to
the most democratic people in Europe, or probably
in the world, by speaking of their traditional
rights--enjoyed under the most brilliant epochs of
Turkish power—as depending on his Imperial
pleasure, and claiming what, under even an
Amureth or Bsjazet, was no more than a Turkish
suzerainte, as an " Imperial province and an
" integral part of the Turkish empire."
In Spain the fool question is displacing politics.
In Biscay there is no harvest. Valadolid, the
great agricultural centre, is destitute. At Medina
del Campo the worst bread costs threepence per
pound, with a supply insufficient for forty-eight
hours. The Government, on its side, denies the
dearth, buys French corn, and opens the ports to
all nations.
The news from Russia makes several items.
Count de Morny and his suite received an audience
from the Emperor, and later from the Empress
The Sultan is to send an Ambassador to the
coronation, principally through English and French
influence it is said, but really because a Minister
has at length been accredited to his court. The
Emperor will leave St. Petersburg for Moscow on
the 25th instant, but will only make his solemn
entry on the 29th. There will be a great festival
at St Petersburgh concurrently with the corona-
tion. The Pope and Czar are declared on good
terms, and six Catholic Bishops for Russia
may be looked for. The Count de Morny
has had an interview with Prince Gorts-
chakoff, and received satisfactory assurance, in
reference to the Treaty. But on the other hand, a
Berlin letter affirms that Russia is making astonish-
ing progress in the direction of Khiva. The Lake
of Arab, with its coast, have fallen to it, opening
Central Asia. But the most piquant item is, the
exchange of shots between the Grand Duke Con-
stantine and Napier at Cronstadt. Grand Duke—
" Well, Admiral, and why did not you come in ?"
Sir Charles—" Pray, why did not you come out ?"
At Naples all remains tranquil, the King reject-
ing any dictation but his own, and threatening to
abdicate in favour of his liberal son rather than
stultify himself.

In Lisbon, a serious brutd riot took place on
the Bth, the mob setting fire to houses, killing an
inspector of the market, and running away at the
sight of the military under efficient command.

THE proposed increase of the Stipendiary Magis_
trate's salary will be brought before the Council at
their next meeting, and the Ratepayers will
be curious to learn the result. Mr. MANSFIELD
has discharged the onerous duties of his office
to the entire satisfaction of the Corporation, and
public generally. We have heard some trifling
complaints, but they have amounted to nothing
when enquired into, or when compared with the
vast amount of graver responsibilities which
belong to tha Magisterial office, all of which
have been discharged without a breath of re-
proach. We are not, therefore, disposed to cavil
about the increase of salary which Mr. HUGH
HORNBY asks for Mr. MANSFIELD. Our worthy
Stipendiary is entitled to as high a reward for
his services as any paid Magistrate on the bench.
But we contend that the whole system of remu-
neration requires careful and economical revision.
Gentlemen who are appointed to such offices,
undertake to go through the whole of the busi.
ness, be it much or little ; and if the Magistrate
of Manchester has only 18,095, ald this Worship
of Wolverhampton 4,587 cases only, for a 1,0001.
a year respectively, and our Corporate Stipendiary
has 24,907 charges to investigate for the same
money, does that not prove that the two former
gentlemen would not willingly perform the same
amount of judicial work without claiming an
augmentation of pay ?

The number of cases a paid Magistrate has to
go through should have nothing whatever to do
with the salary of his office. The question is,
what sum ought to be allowed to a man possess
ing all the necessary qualifications and devoting
all his time to his public duties ? The logarithms
we have seen on this subject enable us to
discover that Mr. MANSFIELD has the most of the
play, and the wonder is, how he could have got
through so much work for so little money. It
others filling similar offices are ill paid, it is
quite certain our excellent J.P. is only half paid,
for he has made the institution to which he belongs
reproductive. " The aggregate of fines received
'• in 1855." says Mr. MANSFIELD, " is 9,7501. 14s 4d,
against 6,2641. lls Id received in 1850 ;" and he
adds, " It is curious to observe, at the same time,
" that the Fees and Fines received in 1855 in all

"the Metropolitan Police Courts amounted only
"to 11,316/. 13s 6d." There is something in the
fact that one Magistrate produces a larger revenue
from a population of less than 400,000, than twenty
two Metropolitan Justices can net from London
with its tables of mortality embracing 2,362,236
souls

Going further into statistics after this, will not,
we fear, help either the Corporation or the Rate-
payers towards a solution of the question to be
disposed of. The salary of all public servants
will always depend mainly on the liberality
of those who employ them, and have to put their
hands into their pockets. Some stingy localities
will scarcely give its officers bread and cheese,
while another, overflowing with the milk of human
kindness, will heap untold nuggets on its faithful
employes. Liverpool certainly does not belong to
the former order, nor do we think the Council
will, in this case, be led into any serious act of
prodigality. The police business of the Borough
has increased very considerably within the last
few years, notwithstanding that crime has de-
creased. And, as the " cases," as they are termed,
are not likely to diminish as time rolls on, the
question for the Council to decide is, whether
Mr. MANSFIELD could deal satisfactorily with an
additional amount of business, should his salary
be increased, or whether it would not be better to
relieve that gentleman of some portion of his
labour, and provide for a future contingency at
once, by appointing a second stipendiary? With

SEDUCTION AND ATTEMPTED MURDER

Tire Court of Assizes of the Benches du Rhone, in its
last sitting, tried a young woman named Sibilot, for an
attempt at murder. The prisoner, who is of considerable
personal attractions, and of extremely modest bearing, is
the daughter of a farmer of Milks, near Aix. About two
years ago an intimacy sprang up between her and a young
farmer of the same village, named Boissv, and it ripened
into affection. 13-isi promised her marriage, and on the
strength of the promise succeeded in seducing her. After
aAhite she gave birth to a child, and then Boissy abandoned
her. In June last he resolved to marry another young
woman, and this plunged the accused into despair. On the
25th of that month she dres.ed herself in her brother's
clothes, and went to Boissy whilst he was working in a
field. He did not at first recognize her, and all at once she
rushed on him and stabbed him four times in the head,
breast, and arms. He kn-cked her down and gave her into
custody. The accused, who wept bitterly, told the tale of
her seduction and abandonment, and said that she had gone
to the field armed with a poignard, not to stab the man, but
to threaten him, in the event of his refusing to make her
reparation by marriage ; that an altercation arose, and that
she, in a moment of distraction, had stabbed him once, and
once only, with t'oe weapon ; that a struggle had then
ensued between them, in which the man, in trying to wrest
the weapon from her, had received three other stabs. In
giving his evidence, II sissy displayed such bad feeling to the
poor girl, and so coarsely accused her of having been inti-
mate with other men—an accusation of which it was proved
there was not the slightest foundation—that he was
regarded with disgust by a crowded auditory ; and as his
eviib nee in many respects was in flat contradiction to that
which he had given before the examining magistrate, the
Court ordered him to be arrested as a perjurer. The jury
acquitted the accused. On leaving the dock, she flung her-
self into the arms of her parents, and her fellow-villagers
congratulated her.—Galignani.

EMIGRANT RUNNERS.—Thomas Dolan, an emigrant
runner, was brought before the magistrates yesterday, at
the suit of Lieutenant Prior, emigration officer, on a charge
of not exposing his bide whilst escorting emigrants. A
police officer proved the case, and a fine of £1 was inflicted.
John Jaggart was summoned for acting as a " manner"
without a b edge, and he was fined £1 also.
SHIP LAUNCH YESTERDAY.—Y,sterdwy one of the finest
vessels ever built in Liverpool was launched from the yard
of Messrs. J. and R. el:rke, jun, B An-street. This fine
vessel is pronounced by the most competent judges to be
the best model seen in our port. She is called the Dora,
and has been built f r the Messrs Potter. Brothers, and is
intended fur the East India trade. She is about 220 feet long,
40 beam, and about 27 feet in depth. Her frame is of English
oak, and her plank-, &c, of Afric in hard timber. She
I.as been closed A 1 for 13 years at Lloyd's, and will be a
fall rigged vessel. Her nominal tonnage is 1,050 tons, but
her stowage capacity is much gre tter. Nothing that science
could point out arid sill execute has been left undone in
this vi ssel, which is another proof of the superior vessels
turned out of the Liverpool yards. At half past one the
launch took place, and was witnessed by a hrge number of
ladies and gentlemen. The vessel " went oft" in gallant
style amid the plaudits of thousands, and everything was
done with the inmost precision, s,) that not the least delay
nor accident took place. She was afterwards tugged into
the Queen's bisin, where she will be fitted up and he rea ly
for sea in a short time, We, along with the general public,
wish her every success.
