FASHIONABLE DEPARTURE.—Yesterday morning his
Excellency, Signor Don Jose Marco!era, left the Queen's
Hotel, for fond n. His Excellency arrived here on Sunday
from America. He is minister to the clurt of Saint James,
from Guatemala. He stopped at the Queen's Hotel, and
on Monday, in company with his interpreter, Don Francisco
Tomes°, visited the "lions" of the town, and a!so theDiorarna
of the Overland Route to India, with which he expressed
himself much pleased.

ROSCOE LITERARY SOCIETY.—This society still continues
in a fl urishing condition. As last Wednesday evening
closed the session, the president, Mr. J. Fennel, de-
livered a very able address to the memb?rs, in which he
congritulated them on the present prosperous state of the
society. The opportunity was taken to present Mr, E. E.
H 7den with a handsome writing desk, as a slight acknow-
ledgtnent of his valuabla services as secretary for a
lengthened period. The society commerce their meetings
on the Ist September next.
CHARGE or BIGAMY —Yesterday, at the morning sitting
of the nonce court, a sailor, named John L-ah, was charged
with bigamy. The evidence was not ready, and the priso-
ner was remanded. It appeared, however, that the prisoner
admitted having two wives living, but said as he did not
e his first wife for five years, he thought he might marry
again. He was about to take a third wife, when the father
of the young lady discovered that he had two already living,
and, not being a Turk, he gave the information which led
to the arrest of the prisoner.
THE TOXTETH BOARD —At the monthly meeting of the
commissioners held yesterday, Mr. Greigson, the chairman,
tendered his resignation as a member of the board. From
the valuable services that gentleman has rendered to the
district since he has held a seat at the board—his business
habits and his untiring exertions—we have no doubt but
that the ratepayers, as well as the commissioners, will regret
his having been compelled to adopt such a course. Mr.
Rowlands, the clerk, also tendered his resignation at the
same meeting, which was accepted.

THE LATE MURDEROUS ASSAULT IN DENISON-STREET.—
Henry links, the poor fellow who was so dangerously
stabbed in Denison-street, an account of which appeared in
our paper of Monday, lies in an almost hopeless state at
the Northern 1.10-ipital. The surgeons considered him so
bad yesterday, that Mr. Bolton, one of the police magis-
trates attended at the hospital, and along with Mr. Tasker,
one of the clerks from the police-court, took the wounded
man's depositions. The facts have already been published.
Yesterday evening at seven o'clock the patient was pro-
nounced very bad. Slight hopes are entertained of his
recovery.

THE EX-ROYAL FAMILY OF OIIDE.—The Calcutta
Englishman, chronicling the arrival of the ex-King of
Oude and the Queen Dowager his mother, adds :
" The good lady, who appears to possess the energy
which her son wants, declares her intention of going to
England, and being asked how that would be compatible
with the dignity of a lady of her exalted rank, replied,
that she did not care what people said, so long as they
could not justly reproach her with any misconduct. She
considers, that without her presence, the King will fall
into the hands of bad advisers, and that she is determined
to prevent. She means to face Lord Dalhousie at the
foot of the throne."

()ALLSTON LOCAL BOARD OF IIZALTIL—The usual monthly
meeting of this body was held at half-past fonr o'clock
yesterday, in the Aigburth Hotel, Aigburth, Mr. Cooper in
the chair. Other members present—Messrs. Chaloner,
Chidson, Pritt, Watts, and Morris. The minutes of the last
meeting were read and confirmed. On the proceedings of
the works' committee being brought up, a c)nversation took
place in reference to improving the road between the
Gar ton Hotel and St. Mary's Church, and it was ultimately
agreed to defer the consideration of the matter until the
next meeting. In accordance with a previous resolution of
the board, a general district rate of 5d in the pound, and
a highway rate of 9d in the pound, were signed. This
concluded the general business.
MR. BRIGHT, M.P.—This gentleman has been sojourning
in Inverness, at the Union Hotel, for a few days. His
health, though improved, is still delicate and uncertain;
and, ac ing upon the advice of his physicians, he refrains as
much as possible from reading and writing. He went on
Tuesday to Nairn, intending to proceed by easy stages
to Ah,yne, in Aberdeenshire, angling in the Findhorn and
other rivers by the way. At Nairn, however, Mr. Bright
felt himself so much better as to be able to stand a
journey further north. He accordingly returned to the
Union Hotel, Inverness, on Wednesday night; and, this
day (Thursday), ho set out for Sutherlandshire. The
Earl of Ellesmere, we understand, has offered his iod2e, at
Lairg, for the accommodation of Mr. Bright.—lnverness
Courier.

THE WA GES MOVEMENTT AT PR7STON. —As we an-
nounced, in our M ,ndaYs impressi ,n, the deputation who
waited upon their employers, in reference to an advance of
wages, equal to ab ,ut 10 per cent. upon their present
earnings, attended a meeting of the local committee, held
at the Farmers' Arms Inn, on Monday night, and report >d
the result of their interview. It was as follows:--That the
whole f the manufacturers, with one or two exception.,
agreed to make an advance, provided any general arrange-
ment to that effect were entered into by the associated masters.
This declaration was received with enthusiasm by the meeting.
The commi tee next entertained the question of settling
the present dispute by arbitration, and, after a lengthened
discussion, it was resolved, "That a deputation wait upon
Mr. Bashall, to ascertain whether he would agree to the
settlement of the dispute between himself and his operative
spinners, now on strike, by arbitration ;" and that "The
deputation wait upon Mr. Bashall during the forenoon of
to-day (Wednesday), and report the issue of their interview
at a general meeting of the association, to be held on Sunday
next.

PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY.—The usual monthly meeting
of this society was held at eight o'clock last night, in the
royal institution, Colquitt street, Mr. Corey in the chair.
Oa the motion of Mr. Forrest, seconded by Mr. Newlands,
Mr. John M‘Nicol, and Mr. Hickson, were elected mem-
bers of the society. The chairman drew the attention of
the society to a work now being published, entitled " Pho-
tographic Portraits of Living Celebrities." The plates
alcomnanying the specimen number were faultless. Mr.
Hooper exhibited some very beautiful views taken after the
process of M. Teaupenot. Some very excellent specimens

of the wax-paper process were exhibited by Mt. Jones.
They included several local views. The ohair-nan observed
that those views showed the uses to which photography
could be applied. There was no old locality, or ancient
monument, the memory of which could not be truthfully
preserved by such means, and he regretted that it bad not
been more generally availEd of for that purpose in Liver-
pool. Mr Newlands remarked that local views were new
largely taken to that end. Mr. Newlands took the chair,
and Mr. Corey proceeded to describe his photographic tint,
a certain means of taking accurate pictures out of doors.
CORONER'S INQUESrS.—Yesterday the coroner held the
following inquests :—On the body of a man, name unknown,
who had the appearance of a sailor, but there was nothing
to lead to his identification. The body was found in the
river, near the landing stage, and the only evidence pro-
duced was as to the finding of the body, and the jury
returned a verdict of found drowned.—On the body of
another man, name unknown, that was found floating in
the Bramley-Moore Dock. This case was precisely similar
to the above, and a like verdict was returned.-0a the
body of Archibald Campbell, aged 50, a respectable
compositor, engaged on the Journal. On Saturday week
the deceased was crossing the end of South John-street,
next Lord-street, and when trying to avoid a lorry, he was
knocked down, and run over by a spring cart, and received
such injuries that he died. There did not appear to be
any culpable blame attached to any one, and the jury
found a verdict of accidental death.—On the body of John

Shaw, aged 18, who was a sailor on board the ship Lucy
Thompson. The deceased was in the rigging, and whilst
engaged at somr, duty he fell down, and was killed. The
unfortunate affair was purely accidental. Ver;lict accord-
ingly. _

ST. SILAS' WORKING MENS' ASSOCIATION,—The annual

The substantial portion of the entertainment having
been done full justice to, the Rev. S. Minton, the
incumbent of St. Silas' church, took the chair, and
after an admirable opening address, distributed.
the prizes (given by some liberal but unknown friend of the

the entertainment, which was one of unalloyed pleasure, and
perfect satisfaction. A vote of thanks was justly awarded
to the rev, chairman, and, after singing the National
