AXTHAT is COMING to LIVERPOOL on th¢

THE GREATEST NOVELTY IN THE WORLD I
WHERE IS IT 'lO BE SEEN ?
THAT'S THE 'QUESTION,.

et
The New York Herald calculates that we shall villa,/
more recruits than England will produce—" The lir) jte
States contain far more men who are ready to ssry e $
troops in actual warfare, than Great Britain ; and a S
have no treaties vrith the nations or peoples with who ns th
English are fighting in India, none of our laws wo ate be
broken by enlisting them. To. gain their good-will is
of course, be necessary to satisfy this community re,at, in
return for our sympathy abroad, the English were walla
to cede to us the entire control of the affairs of tais cot
Dent and its dependencies • and this would not be an egoY
thing either for so unbending a politician as Palmerste°
he achieve, or for so incredulous .a people as ours.touredit•
But were it accomplished there might douletless be awakell:
ed a strong feeling here in favour of the British in ladle'
and very likely, with proper measure and a suitable outlay'
50,000 men could be enlisted in a few weeks." Upon th'-,
the Leader remarks We may take several exception'
to this exposition. England will have no lack of recruit:lo
should the government rise to a consciousness of the publ'C'
necessity, and offer those suMcient metivas. which eveloff
sAdier ought to feel in accenting the military service
h's country. Americans, if sufficient inducements vre.r.„
offered, would, we believe, not wait for any such barraiii
as our cotetnporary 'anticipates ; and the bargain We i(
is not at present on the cards. Bat we believe that t
Ragland were to ask America for recruits, they would ni°,l
be refused. Were they granted, one consequence wellet
necessarily follow ; the friendship as well as the interef;
of the people would be closely, openly, and avowedly ”„/,,
together. The alliance between England and Ametiiit
would be consolidated; and it would become more diffielleg
than ever for any government in Dawning-street to or';
two great nations by the ears, for the advantage
amusement of a coterie or a cabinet." eae
The /economist observes that as the true nature ee
crisis begins to be more clearly understood, and t"nr
opinions of older •statesmen on the conditions of 0,7,r
Indian empire are brought to light, a cause for e't
calamity no less broad and apprehensible than tlnie

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.

DUBLIN, MONDAY NIGHT.
'This day, at the Capel-street Police-office, James
-Spolien, the railway employee, who was accused of the
Murder of Mr. Little by his wife, and for which he lately
stooll his trial, but was found -‘ Not guilty,' was placed
At the bar before the sitting magistrates.
The particulars of the trial, the atrocious deed, and
the behaviour of the prisoner have now become so familiar
to the public that no recapitulation of the affair is here
'necessary.
• On the present occasion the prisoner was charged with
•-having robbed his employers, the Midland Great Western
-Railway Company, of various sums of money, but the
specific charge was that of havihg stolen upwards of .e 5
on the .13th of November, 1856.
The prisoner presented much the same calm, cool, and
collected appearance as upon former occasions, though
to many there was not the same amount of apparent un-
concern which he had previously exhibited ; indeed, by
some, it was thought he was rather nervous on first
appearing in the court.
A. marked change, however, was visible in his personal
appearance, and was of such a nature as to justify the
belief that the accused made great efforts to disguise him-
self by a change of dress, and by denuding himself of a
large portion of the full beard which previously covered
the whole fore part of the face, to a line with the corners
of his mouth. The face has by this means lost its fulness
of contour—the cheeks have slightly collapsed, and the
-whole face has become so changed, that recognition from
`the portraits which were exhibited would now be
imposeble.

ilarsst-s. Fitzgibbon, Q.O , and Corballis, Q.C., with
Refurni3, cro;vn solicitor, appeared for the crown.
The prisoner:was undefended.

t Mr. Corbllis, is a lengthened address, stated that he
appeared there to sustain a charge against the prisoner
at the lam That charge was one of robbery, or to speak
more Etrictly, for stealing from a certain dwelling £5 or
more; and to support that charge he would examine
witneses.

Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. Bennett, and Surgeon Meyers
were then examined, but nothing new was elicited.
After a short interlocutory conversation between the
magistrate and the Council for the Crown,
Mr. Porter said, James Spollen, you stand committed
by me for having, on the 13th of November, felonously
stolen from a dwelling on the property of the Midland
Great Western Railway Company, certain monies of the
value of £5 8s or upwards, against the peace of our
'Lady the Queen, do you wish to say anything
,on the. subject. You are at liberty to make any:state-
ment you please, but I think I ought to caution you that
'what you say will be taken down and given as evidence
on your trial.

Spollen : I decline at present to say anything till I have
.had an opportunity of consulting council•

On -,he application from the prisoner, his watch and
chain, and other matters found on him when apprehended,
were delivered to him by directijn of the magistrate.
Mr. Fitzgibbon: I suppose, sir, you will return the
information to the Commission.
Mr. Porter : Yes.
'L. The prisoner was then removed.
