',...

QUEENSTOWN, 7th November, 1859.
DEAR SIR,—We cannot take leave of the Gertrude
and yourself without acquainting you with the feelings
of gratitude and respect which your conduct during our
recent voyage from St. John's has caused us to entertain
towards you.

(Before J. S. MANSFIELD, Esq.)
THE LIME-STREET NUISANCE.—TWO females were
brought up on the charge of fighting and using abusive
and obscene language in these supper-rooms.---They
were each fined £2 and 4s. costs, or to be committed for
three months.

ROBBERY IN DALE-STREET.—lsabella Wilson and
Ann Smith were brought up on the charge of having
robbed a person named John Henderson, on the previous
night, in Dale-street.---The prisoner Smith was dis-
charged, but Wilson, refusing to acknowledge her guilt,
was sent for trial.

The voyage has been a perilous one, and has put to
the test the qualities of yoUrself and the officers of the
ship. From the outset we encountered storms which
lasted with more or less violence until our arrival in
port, and during the whole time we remarked your dili-
gent attention to duty. We feel called upon to notice
especially that which claims our gratitude as well as ad-
miration : your conduct during the disastrous storm of
October 31st, and the remainder of the voyage, when we
were in extreme danger. Ability and constant vigilance
were required for the preservation of the ship and all on
board, and we are assured that to your able seamanship
and devoted discharge of duty, under Divine Providence,
we owe our present safety. In such circumstances, the
eyes of all are upon the captain's movements, and we,
therefore, observed that, during the period specially
named, you continued your anxious labours without
intermission, denying yourself all necessary rest, in con-
sequence of which we are sorry to perceive you are now
suffering indisposition. We have to thank you also for
attention to our comforts as your passengers, and for
your courteous deportment, which we have always expe-
rienced to be that of a gentleman.
Permit us further to say a word in commendation of
your officers Messrs. Garrison and Hamblet. Towards
us they were affable and obliging ; and respecting their
duties, though we do not assume to be professors of
seamanship, we could not but observe that day and
night they were faithful in their offices. We sincerely
regret that on account of the hardships of the voyage,
they, like yourself, have incurred indisposition, and we
hope you will all soon recover. In the commander and
officers of the Gertrude we would place full reliance, as
far as human effort can secure it.

(Before W. PRESTON, J. CROSTRWAITE, and A.
CASTELLAINE, Esqrs.)
ANDERSON v. MAsoN.—The plaintiff summoned the
defendant for an assault, on Saturday week. The com-
plainant keeps a public-house in Church-street, Everton.
The dispute arose principally from the fact that the '
defendant's son, a lad of sixteen years of age, was in the
habit of getting drink in the public-house in question,
and that only for finding his son there, he (the defendant)
would not have committed the assault in question, and
that it was done in a moment of temporary excitement.
The defendant was also indebted to the plaintiff in a
certain amount of rent, which he refused to pay. The
magistrates considered that the assault was not one to
justify them in inflicting a penalty, and on the defendant
promising to abstain in future from using threatening
language, the case was dismissed.
NEAL M'NEAL V. JAMES BAINES & Co.—Mr. Cobb
appeared for the plaintiff. The summons was to recover
a month's wages. It appeared that, on the 3rd instant,
the plaintiff signed articles to go as carpenter in the
Marco Polo to Melbourne. Afterwards, when the
plaintiff was ready to go on board, the captain said that
he did not require his services; and that he had shipped
another person. When the captain was spoken to on
the subject, his objection to the plaintiff was that he
had not a sufficiency of clothing suited for the voyage.
The plaintiff had been in the same capacity with the
captain on a previous voyage.—A person from the firm
of Messrs. James Baines & Co. stated what he had heard
on the subject, that the captain's principal objection to
the plaintiff arose from the fact of his not being well
supplied with respectable and sufficient clothing.—The
magistrates considered that the articles having been
signed, an engagement had been entered into, and gave
a verdict for £3 10s, and costs.

We tender our best wishes for the prosperity of your-
self and family, and trust that the gracious hand which
rescued us from our late danger will ever protect you
amid the ravings'of the wind, and the surges of the deep.
—We are, dear sir, yours very truly,

FRIENDLY SOCIETY REVELATIONS.

A meeting of the officers and friends of the Royal Philan-
thropic Society was held on Monday night, at the office
of the society, Finch-street. The Secretary, iu opening
the proceedings, said that the present meeting was
called to inquire into certain false and malicious state-
ments which had been circulated with the view of
injuring the society. Placards had emanated from
another society, and were two in number. The follow-
ing are the main facts of the first case as set forth in
the placard. Michael McHugh entered his father-in-law
as a member of the Philanthropic Society; and accord-
ing to the rules was entitled to the sum of £3 in twenty-
six weeks from the time of his entrance. The father-
in-law died on the very day twenty-six weeks after he
had entered the society. The son-in-law thinking himself
entitled to the funeral allowance, made application to the
secretary, who told him that he was not entitled to the
allowance, as his father-in-law was two days short of being
a half member.--Stich lens the subject-of the first document,
to which was appended the son-in-law's mark. There
was also a postscript to the effect that, after belonging
to the society for some twelve or thirteen years,not one
penny was received on the present occasion. The
secretary, after reading the placard, proceeded to ex-
plain how the case really stood, which, he said, was as
follows :--The father-in-law, J. Hutt, was entered into
the society three years ago by his son, and was again
entered by the daughter some twenty weeks previous to
his death. The claim of the son being a just one, was
paid; that of the daughter not being valid, was refused.
He produced the books of the society, by which

not completed at the time of liutt's death. The
second placard related to Barbara If 'Coombe, and
bore her mark. It stated that the 'society. - had
refused to pay a just claim of £l2, giving,ipstead only
£6. Mrs. M'Coombe was ,present at the meeting,

he thought it but justice to the society and the publics
that the refutation should be published also. He
thought that such infamous documents could only have
originated rozapite, and he would warn the public to
be on their guard against any society which had recourse
to such schemes for blackening the character .01 an
honest society Hie the present. After some further dis-
cussion, a refutation of the placards was drawn up,
signed-by-Barbara-M4Connibe ; "altdr which" the meeting

REPLY.
QUEENSTOWN HARBOUR, Bth Nov., 1859.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.—In acknowledging your
kind letter, I would first express my gratitude to the Al-
mighty for bringing us safe into port, when the terrible
gales we have experienced made it doubtful.
Your good wishes I shall ever cherish, and those ex-
pressed for my officers have been duly conveyed to them.
They join me in heartily responding to your hopes, and
that prosperity and happiness may attend each and all
of you is the fervent wish of, Dear Friends, yours very
sincerely,
IsAAc W. DOANE, Master of Gertrude. i

Miss Burdett Coutts has munificently offered to pay
the cost (£180) of a life-boat and her gear, which the
Royal National Life-boat Institution has decided to
station at Silloth. near Carlisle. Miss Coutts kas long
been a liberal supporter of the life-boat cause.
HOLLOWAY'S PlLLs.—lndigestion, flatulency, bilious
disorders, liver complaints, nervousness, and general
debility, are all evils that may be easily and speedily
subdued by these inestimable Pills-the mildest and
most efficacious medicine ever yet discovered. They do
not.merely vanquish the particular disease, but exercise
so powerful, beneficial,, and lasting an influence upon
the whole systemi as protects it from every affliction.
They impart tone, restore the appetite, give strength
and flesh, and make the patient feel himself quite a new
man. Being composed of vegetable extracts, unmixed
with any mineral substance whatever, these pills are as
safe as they are efficacious. 49
Although Mr. Rarey's process, says the Globe of July
15th, has ceased tube a secret, and although such per- '
sons as were interested in it simply because it was a
secret has been sifted from among his admirers, those
who remain so still cannot fail to admire him more
and more, and the more they see 'of him, for that won-
derful combination of moral qualities which has enabled
him to gain so extraordinary an ascendancy over a large
section of the brute creation. The performance of
Thursday took place in the Allhambra,'Leicester-sqUare,
The renowned Cruiser was first exhibited, and his doci-
lity shown off in a variety: of ways. An aural
with no unusually vicious tricks was then intro=,
duced to enable Mr. Rarey to
give a practical -
explanation of the process of laying doyn a
horse. This operation is sUppoSed by some to melt*
the whole science of horhorse-taming;horse-taming; but as itaiey
tookcare to' explain yesterday, this is-a great mistake.
Every motion he makes is a part of the system, for every-
thing lie Aoes is done in the kindest po-ssible Way, with a
.
view of engendering a feeling of confidence in the equine
mind. -Mr; Rarers. 'whole sySteni is a proof that
" horse nature" really is. a much higher thing thane we
are in the habit of supposing. In everything the animal
treated- with the most patient kindness-Epersuaded,
never forced. If any object frightens him, it is.always''
shown to him, and hut nose stroked With it. In harness=
ing a horse a common mistake is to' conceal from him
bungs which frighten him. 'Mr. Ramey does exactly the
reverse—makes him examine everything. In teaching a
horse to follow his master some men pull him. This, as
Mr. Rarey says, is teaching him to resist. This princi-
ple pervades his whole conduct ; kindneSs and persuasion,
these are his 'Watchwords. While still a secret, the
wonderful process of horse-taming Was looked upon by
everyone as a miracle; and "Ramey as the most remark-.
able man of the age." Now that time has shown the
process to be' effectual, now that we have found it to b,
a more humane system than any that the kin6st hearted
man had ever thought possible, it would-be foolish in-
deed to begiu to slight its value., Or to forget what tin
World owes to the man who has done nearly, if not quite.
as much to lessen physical aaffering as any that have
yet been born.

during the past week by more than 1,300 persons, and
doubtless many more would have gone on board, but for
the extreme coldneSs of the weather. A deputation

and offered Captain Harrison and the officers the privi-
