OUR sympathies have been very much pained 'of

Within

has been verl;. considerable. That to which we

now direct attention, is the wreck of the ship

bravery

worthy recipients,of
_public money with the-:, total
amount ,received fqr the public good, and having
given therm credit for the actual amount of work
done, we then strike a balance, reserving to our-
selves, as in the present case, the right of a more
rigid investigation at some-future day. There are
few duties which public journalists are called on
to discharge in .which there is such a mixture of
painful and pleasurable feelings. A due regard
for the public weal, and a profound respect ,for
that peculiar disinterestedness which is the
boasted characteristic of all .members of our Cor-
porate bodies, and the extraordinary nervous
sensibility of Common Councilmen generally,
draw so largely on one's sympathies, that we
would, in many instances, ;wish that there were
no such things as Borough Accounts.
We have somewhere read of: a Town Council,
which, having received a significent hint, that their
accounts would be " rigidly investigated," became
so indignant that they positively threatened to
expatriate themselves, while one of its. members
became so intensely enraged, that on being aSlced
by a brother Councilman for the loan of kpencil
for a few seconds, he deliberately took off his coat
and waistcoat, which he • handed to his friend, and
:was next • proceeding to take off a few more of his
habiliMents when he was reminded by the by-
•standers• that his friend only asked for a pencil.
Now, as we have no wish to see the Einigration
-returns of our port swelled by-the names of any
of our Council Board, and as we fear that extraor-
dinary nervous excitement might -produee ;dan-
gerous apoplectic symptoms, we shall take care
to approach the subject with more than usual
mildness.
By the way of a preface, then, we would merely

observe, that the gross income derived by the
Town Council from the borough of Liverpool would
have been considered an excessivelyheavy Imperial
burthen only three centuries ago ; while, if we do
the amount into francs, florins, or dollars, it will
be' found two-fold greater than the revenue of many

foreign States, which have to provide for the govern-

ment and protection of two or three millions of souls

But " what have we to do with foreign states ?"
we fancy will be the sagacious reply of our council-
Here, then, we shall be compelled to remind
nost inestimable body corporate, that the

present taxation for the government and protec-
tion, of the British Empire, on which it is said
" the sun never sets," does not amount to more
than one pound a-head for the population of the
United' Kingdom, while the sum actually at the dis-
posal of the Borough dignitaries, amounts to a
fraction over ten shillings a=head for the popula-
tion of Liverpool. Our borough must therefore be
looked upon as an empire, and one of ne mean
character, judging from its income and expenditure
The gross income is set down at £220,271 12s. ld
On the debtor's side, while the

;er contra shows a

surplus of £52,781 los. 7d.. The annual expendi-
ture of the Corporation may be said, as far as it is
possible to understand the accounts, to amount to
something like three-fourths of its income.

To investigate such an elaborate show of figures

as we have before us in the present account, is not
work which can be accomplished in a moment;

we, shall, therefore, devote a day or two to it, when
We hope to be able.to point out where. Some slight
alterations may be made with great propriety and
considerable advantage to the inhabitants of the
Borough. - If, in the meantime, we should discover
a more simplified way of keeping accounts, we
shall not omit to point it out to Mr. JOHN Wystrndn
the Treasurer, as it
,would very thaterrally aid the
Rate-payers ingetting at a clearer insight into their
financial affairs.

DEATH OF MR. ALDERMAN JOHN HOLMES-r--We
deeply regret to have to announce the death of Mr. Alder-
man John Holmes, which took place on Saturday at his
residence in Everton Crecent. The deceased Alderman was
the oldest member of the Council, and was exceedingly
regular in his attendance on the Committees and meetings
of the Council, up to the last week or two. The decease
gentleman was m the eightieth year of his age, and was
universally respected by all parties in the town.
The Rev. Dr. Aspinall preached his farewell ser-
mon to a congregation of St. Mathia's Gt. Howard-street,
last evening.

The Shipwrights of Liverpool intend, we under-
stand, to hold a public meeting in the Amphitheatre in the
course of the present week. The object of the meeting is to
lay before the Merchants of Liverpool, the subjects in dis-
pute between them and their masters. In the meantime the
men continue at work.
APPREHENSION IN AUSTRALIA OF AN ABSCONDED
eLEnx..---Amongst the parties brought to Fn sl and from Aus-
tralia per the Eagle was,Tames St. Albin Qu;nu, lately a Cleric
in the employ of Messrs Train & Co. of this town, who ab-
sconded some time since with upwards of £l2OO, the pro-
perty of his employers. Quinn is now lodged in the Main
Bridewell, and will be brought before the Magistrates this

Mn. MITCHELL, 'who has appeared on several oc-
casions as an amateur in aid of our local charities, is (as
will be seen by'advertisement) about to make his last ap-
pearance on the stage in the character of Rob Roy, supported
by a number of gentlemen amateurs. It may, be recollected
that Mr. Mitchell, who was the originator of the amateur
performance,- in March, 1845, in aid of the Licensed Vic-
tuallers' Institution, appeared as Sir William Wallace, in the
Tragedy of that name. We understand the surplus is to be
applied in presenting that gentleman with a testimonial of

respect. -
SIGNOR & MADAME BOLENO'S FAREWELL BENEFIT.
We deeply regret that Liveipool is about to lose these dis-
tinguisheu representatives of the pantomimic art. Madame
Boleno is one of the best columbines and Signor Boleno un-
approachable as clown in this count7y. Previous to leaving
LiVerPool for London,' where they are about to take up their
abode, Signor and adame Boleno announce their farewell
benefit
.in Liverpool, which, (as will be seen by advertise,-
meiii) will take :place at the Amphitheatre to-morrow even-
ing. The bill of fare is excellent; but independent of the
treat provided, we feel sure that the high esteem and respect
in which Mr. and Mrs Boleno are deservedly held in Liver-
pool, will ensure them a "bumper."
ANOTHER WRECK.—The "Mary," Captain Leveno,
of Glasgow, which arrived here yesterday from
Baltimore, fell in on the 20th instant, with
the brigantine "John Barry, from Cardiff, bound
to Malta, in a helpless condition, and took off
the
_crew, seven in number, and brought them

- -
to this port.
A HINT FOR. THE LONDON ,AND NORTH-WESTERN
RAILWAY OFFICIALS.—On Saturday, in returning
a verdict of accidental death upon view of the
body of a man, name unknown, who died from
injuries received at the entrance to the Edge-hill
end of the tunnel of the London and North Wes-
tern Railway; the coroner's jury added that in
their opinion, two officers instead, of one ,should
be stationed at the lower end of the tunnel, as it
was evident that one officer could not attend to
two lines of rail at one time.
EXTRAORDIONARY SCENE AT ST: MICHAEL'S
CHURCH, Pm STREET.—Yesterclq afternoon a scene of a
most unusual and painful nature took place at St. Michael's
Church, Pitt-street. The incumbents of St. Michael's are
the Rev. Cyrus Morrall, and the Rev. H. Carpenter, the
former belonging to what is known as the high church or
puseyite party, the latter to the evangelical party. For
home considerable time a misunderstanding has existed
between Mr.. Morrell and a section of his congregation who
did not concur in his views, and placards have • been posted
in the neighbourhood of Pitt-street, announcing the loss of
a promisinc, young preacher .; any person returning him will
be rewarded with an empty pew. In consequence of the
dispute to which we have adverted, it would appear that an
arrangement was come to, that the Rev. Mr. Bardsley was
to assist at the services in St. Michael's on Sunday.—Some
views of Mr. Bradsley, expressed from the pulpit, not agree-
ing with those of Mr. Morral, the latter gentleman as we

learn, refused to allow Mr. Bardseley again to officiate, and
engaged in his place the curate of St. Marks, who is also
supposed to be favourable to Puseyism. This appointment,
however, did not meet with the sanction of the Church.
wardens Mr. Alderman Laurence, and Mr. Councillor
Wagstaff,and several of their friends immediately rose and left
the Church in an abrupt manner. A portion of the congyega-
tion not aware of the cause of this movement,became alarmed,
- something like a cry of fire was •raised. The result was

MELANCHOLY SHIPTVRECK-
SIXTY LIVES .LOST.

. In our 'paper of Saturday we announced the founlering
of the ship Dalhousie, in the Channel off Beachy Head,
together with the loss\of all on board (sixty in number)
with one exception. - .

The Dalholisie. was a flue Indian teak-built ship, of nearly
800 tons burthen. She was launched at Moulinem in 1848,
and was, therefore, a first-class vessel, in good and sound
condition. She was the property of Mr. Allan, the ship-
owner of Leadenhall street, and was chartered to Messrs. Fry
and' Davison, of FUnehurph-strepg as one of the "Whit 3
Horse tine of Australian Passenger Ships." She went into
the-EaSt-India Docks to lead for Sydney, and happily, on this
occasion she was mere devoted. to the conveyance of freight
than passengers. Her crew amounted to forty eight men
and officers, .and her- cargo comprised every description .of
merchandise, and was estimated at upward.s of XlOO,OOO. Her,
master, ' Captain Butterworth. is said to have been a most
experienced navigator, and to have passed many years iu
the owners' service.

She cleared from the docks at Blackwall on the 12th, and
proceeded down the river to Gravesend. Her passengers
were confined to chief-cabin.class, and not' more than twenty
berths in all had been secured.. Of these there went on
board at Gravesend, Mr. and Mrs. Underwood and three
children,'Mrs. Sinipson and three children, and Miss Rad-
ford; and the following expressed their intention of joining
the ship at Plythouth, where she had •to touch ;—Major
Hawkes, Captain R Daniel, Mr. J. Baldwin, Miss Macin-
tosh,and her maid, Mrs. Hill, and Miss- A. M., Castles; Mrs.
Butterworth, being anxi,,lN to accompany her husband,
Captain Butteryvorth, to Plymouth, where she would leave,
she went on board with three of her sons for thetrip. down
Channel. The eldest, however, on the ship reaching the
Downs, went ashore with the pilot at Deal, to return to
school, which is in the neig,hbourhood. On the ,Isth the
ship's dePArture from the downs was telegraphed to' ;
and the next that was heard of her was about five o'clock on
the. following afternoon, when a boat reached. Dover from
the brig, 'Mitchel Grove, Which was lying off in the road-
stead, reporting the appalling. loss of the ship, and landing
the only survivor, Joseph 1)

;ed, a
_seaman, every soul o

board having .perished with the vessel.
The particulars of this melancholy event will be found in
the subjoined statement made by Joseph Reed, the sole sui
vivor. lie describes the progress of the ship from the tim
she left Gravesend, to the morning of the 19th. On tl
evening of the 18th a gale commenced, Beachv Head heir
in sight. It continued to bIoV wi

r starboard beams-
nat position, with her masthead in
the water, lying at the mercy of the sea, which then made a
clear breach over her, and washed away the larboard guar-
ter.boat. A great many of the crew took refuge in the.main-
top, and I got outside the ship on the weather quarter
gallery, it 'bemg impossible to stand on deck. A sea broke
into the maintopsail - and carried away the maintopmast
with all its gear, and likewise washed four men out of the
maintop. Captain Butterworth, the chief and second mate,
the carpenter cook, and some of the crew joined me on the
weather quarter, :and they dragged through the gallery win-

_
dow four passengers, consisting of a gentleman, his wi e, an
two children, who took refuge with them. The declarant and
another seaman also succeeded in getting out of the water a
young lady who had come out of one of the poop cabins, and
I lashed her to a large spar, and placed her with the rest of
her party on the gallery. Immediately afterwards a large
sea broke over the ship, which washed off the gentleman
above-mentioned, with his wife and children (four in all), and
they perighed together. At about this time a schooner was
observed about half a mile to the eastward, bearing down
upon the wreck. The-vessel was at that time settling fast
in the water, and it was evident that she could not remain
afloat many minutes longer. I cut the lashings of the spar
to ,which the young lady had lren made fast, in order to
give her a chance for her life. As the spar went adrift,
Captain Butterworth, the second mate, and one or two of
the seamen quitted the sinking ship, and held on to the spar
in the hope of saving themselves, declarant being left on
the quarter with the cook and carpenter.. Many of the
people had by this time been drowned, but others re-
mained holding on as they best could, on the weather side
of the wreck. She lay thus for about ten minutes after
Captain Butterworth had left her, and then sank, going
down head first. I scrambled from the quarter to the mizen-
mast, which I ascended as the ship, sank. I found the sur-
geon in the mizentop, and we went up together in the
wizen crosstrees. When we were submerged, I lost sight
of the surgeon, and I swam to some deals which were
floating about. I got hold of one of them, but shortly
afterwards, I saw near me one of the chocks of the long boat,
capable of affording me better support than the deal, which
I therefore left, and placed myself on the chock. The

schooner was then within shouting distance, being about
100 yards to leeward of me, and I hailed her, begging her
crew to go about to windward, and afterwards drift down
among the Dalhousie's people, of whom several were still
alive, and might thus have been picked up and saved, with
a little exertion on the schooner's part. The only response
which I. could hear from her was given by some person on
hoard, who told me " Swim to her;" but she was drifting
to leeward much faster than any man could swim, and she
shortly afterwards stood away to the S.W., and left me and
my companions struggling in the water. watched her for
nearly twO.hours afterwards, but she at length disappeared,
without having (so far as I could see) made the least effort
to save any of us, although the schooner was close to the
Dalhousie when she foundered, and her crew must have seen
her go down. My companions gradually perished one after
the other, and I was repeatedly washed off my frail support.
Towards four o'clock brig hove in sight, standing down
towards where I was floating. I .made signals to her with
myhandkerchief, in thebestwaylcould, and she bore down to
me, and having lowered a rope with a bowline in it, I made it
fast round my body, and sprang from the chock into the sea.
Although the crew of the brig observed every precaution in
their power, I was unavoidably.dragged under the water for
a minute or two before I could get on board, and when I at
length reached her deck, I was nearly senseless. She proved
to be the Mitchel Grove, Mr. RaWson master, bound from
Littlehampton to Sunderland, with timber.- Captain
Rawson and his crew all treated, me with the greatest kind-
ness and hospitality, and at four p. m. on the following day,
the brig anchored in Dover Roads. The weather was then
moderate, and Captain Rawson, having lowered a boat,
landed me at Dover. I made application to the owners'
agent, who furnished me with the means of coming to
ndon, and on the.same evening I arrived in Loudon,-and
lost no time in reporting the loss of the ship to the owners.
I further declare that when the ship went down the light on
Bcachy 'lfead. bore from N. E. by E., distant about sixteen
miles, and; ,to the best of my judgment, in about twenty
fathoms of water. I believe that every person on board of
her, with the exception of myself, perished. I cannot
account for'the circumstance of the ship foundering in the
manner she did, otherwise than upon the presumption that a
butt end must have started, either from her having struck
upon a wreck, or from some other cause unknown to me."
It is stated that the ship and cargo were insured for a sum
amounting to about £70,000.

MURDER IN LIVERPOOL

A murder of an unprovoked and brutal character was
perpetrated in Charles-street, in this town, shortly before
one o'clock yesterday morning. The circumstances under
which it occurred seem to be as follows :—Richard Crispin,
and John Crimp, two seamen belonging to the schooner
Compeer, Gaptain Weeks, now lying in the Canning Dock,
were passing through Charles-street shortly before one
o'clock, when they met an American seam an named Wil-
liams. Crispin it would appear remarked when passing
Williams by " there goes a Yankee son of a b--." upon
which Williams turned sharply round, and a quarrel en-
sued. Whilst the quarrel was proceeding a Spanish sea-
man named Manuel Montero, belonging to a Spanish
vessel, the Triumfante came out of a brothel in the neigh-
bourhood, walked deliberately up to Crispin and his com-
panion, and without the slightest pro Vocation stabbed both
men in the left groin, and almost in the same place. In the
confusion which ensued Montero escaped, and in a short time
police officer No. 202 ( Neal) got both the wounded men removed
to the Northern Hospital, but Crispin died, from loss of
blood, almost immediately after his admission, whilst the
surgeons were examining the wound. Crimp is very danger-
ously wounded, and. serious doubts are entertained as to his
chance of recovery. After stabing both men, Montero again
entered the brothel with his bloody knife in his hand. He
wiped the knife on his trowsers to clear it. from the marks
of blood, cooly remarking in broken algiish that he had
rumped (stabbed) two d— English men. On examination, it
was found. that the large vein running from the body to the
thigh had been severed in the deceased, 'and the other man
was stabbed within a quarter of an inch of the same place,
the point of the knife just missing the vein. Montero would
appear to have made an appointment to go to Cheshire
with two females in the house out of which he came when
he stabbed the deceased, and last evening he again called at
the house. Information being given to the police, 11.2
was taken into custody. Williams the man with whom the
deceased originally quarrelled, was also taken into
custody, in consequence of a female stating that she
saw him kick the deceased.twicc whilst he was down. This
Williams admitted at the police-office, and both prisoners
were locked up. The inquest on the body will be held this
day. Williams is a seaman belonging to the ship Edward
Stanley. The deceased was the son of Captain Thomas
Crispin, of the Lily,of Selcombe, and was a highly respectable
young man. He had sailed with Captain Weeks, in the
Compeer, since April last. The other young man who was
stabbed, was mate of the schooner Sarah Jane, Captain
Lakey, and is also respectably connected in the west of
England.

DEATH nom FIRE.--A child named Galvin, aged abou
three years„ was burned to death on Friday, under th
following melancholy circumstances. It appeared that th
mother of the deceased lived in a room in a lane off James's
street, and that she left the child alone in this apartment
in which a" fire was burning, ' and on her return in tei
minutes afterwards, she found him enveloped. in flames
Every effort having been made by the poor woman's friend
in the neighbourhood to quench the flames, the boy wa
brought to, Steevenes .hospital, where he died in two how
afterwards,

SUPPOSED SUICIDE AT WEST DERBY FROM
UNREQUITED LOVE.-MYSTERIOUS CASE.

On Saturday an inquest was held at Club-moor, before
C. E. Driflield, Esq., the coroner' for the district, on the
body of a young woman whose name turns out to be Maria
Clarkson,, eighteen years of age, and whose remains were
discovered on Thursday evening last by a servant man, John
Caton, in the employ of B. H. Jones, Esq.,of Lark-hill,
West Derby. It appears that whilst Caton was in a field
close to Mr. Jones's residence, he observed the body of a
female floating on the surface of a pond in the field. On the
body being dragged to the land it was found to, be in a: state
of decomposition, and had evidently been in the water some
days. It is probable, from letters, which were found in the
possession of the deceased, and which were produced at the
inquest on Saturday, that the unfortunate deceased commit-
ted self-destruetion in consequence of an attachment she had
formed to a young man at Fleetwood, being unrequited.
The parents, who are recently dea,l, resided at Fleetwood,
and her father carried on the business of a tailor, and also an
hotel-keeper, at that place. The first witness examined
on the inquest was John Caton, who deposed to dis-
covering the body, and taking it out -of the pond
assisted E. by a fellow-seriant, named Robert Jackson.
Mrs. Morris, 31, :Evertors-village, 'said she knew the
deceased, who 'entered- her service on Monday, the 26th
September. On the evening. of
.Tuesday, the 4th October,
at about a quarter to seven,.ueceased went for sonic candles,
but did not return till half-past eight next morning, when
she said that she was chased' by two men; -and that she .was
frightened and lost- her ways She looked very. untidy.
Witness did not say much to her, as it was not her intention
to retain her. She desired her- to. take her 'breakfast, and
then carry the elothes to mangle. Deceased did as directed,
but did not return, and witness had heard nothing further
of her until seeing the body. Some other witnesses having
been examined, the jury, after ten minutes deliberation,
returned the following verdict::—" That the deceased was
found drowned in a pond, but how or by what means she
got into it, there was no evidence to show." The letters
to which we have alluded, as having: been found upon the
deceased, were three in number, and apparently from a
suitor at Fleetwood. The first letter breathed attachment
to the deceased, and the second which seemed to be in reply
to the deceased's complaint of being hard worked, stated
that hard work was good for the health. The third letter

expressed the wish of the writer that deceased would forget

GALE ON TILE IRISH COA ST;—The steamship
Adiniral, of Glasgow, which left Londonderry for
Liverpool, on Thursday, did 'not arrive here until
yesterday morning, about 11 o'clock. She met
with a--violent storm; and was obliged to put into
Belfast for coal and provisions. The steamer Sea

Nymph, which left Newry, for Liverpool, at half
past eleven o'clock, on Saturday • morning, did not
arrive here until half-past five o'clock last night.
A heavy sea was running during the whole of her
passage, and the force of the gale carried away her
figure head.
DEATH FROM SCARLET FEVER.—On Friday after-
noon; at half-past six
.o'clock, as James Roberts,
134, was on duty at Seacombe slit), a man, he did
not know, came to him in a boat, bringing the dead
body of a child. He stated that lie was an emigran
. had engaged his passage on board the Ne
World; the deceased was his son

A person, in

. , ,_ ,
terpreting for him, stated that he was a native of
Prussia. A medical man deposed that the child
died of scarlet fever, and the coroner's jury on
Saturday found a verdict accordingly.
A DRUNSEN MOTHER.—An inquest Was held on
Saturday on the body of a child named Jane 'Sher-
wood, agedoue year and 10 months.. About six.
weeks ago the child was Acalded by some hot
coffee falling on its breast at its parents residence
in Jordan-street, and it died on the 21st inst. The
mother, Jane Isherwood had, in her evidence, told
a terrible Story.. She went out, leaving her four
children in the house, ad stayed away all day, re-
turning drunk at half-pest seven at night, as she
confessed was her custo, and as another witness
also swore, was her continual habit. Whilst she
was out, the poor child met with the accident,
which, after a lingering period of torture, terminated
in death. The jury, in returning a verdict of ac-
cidental death, said there was gross and culpable
neglect on the part of the mother, but the coroner
said that such an verdict would amount to one
of manslaughter, so those words were left out Of
the finding. The'coroner, however, said that there
was no doubt that, in- this case, a moral man-
slaughter had been committed. -

THE TUNE CHANGED.—For the first day Richard
Cobden was supreme at the Peace Congress : the
bagpipers played nothing but Oh Richard, oh 112022 Rol !
On the second day, however, after Old Admiral Napier
had fired off his speech, nothing was heard but—Charlie is
my Darling. Punch.

It is a curious fact, that the fighting at an election, and
