The Gloucester Theatre, which had become sadly dilapi-
dated, was put up by auction on Friday evening, and
knocked down at £450. The building is still to be devoted
to theatrical purposes.
CORONER'S INQUESTS.—On Tuesday the coroner held
inquests on the bodies of. Christina Davis, who died
suddenly of natural causes, and Joseph Gent, who was
found dead. The verdicts were, in the first case, natural
causes, and in the second, found drowned.
"Pnonoraous !"—The King William, Captain Adams,
lately arrived at Leith, from Cadiz, has brought the largest
cask of wine ever imported, the total contents being 432
gallons. In loading at Cadiz the cask had to be filled in
the hold of.the vessel.—Leith Commercial List.

THE WEATHER has changed again. For the first days
of the week the atmosphere was cloudy, and the mornings
foggy, but fine. Yesterday morning was foggy, and about
10 o'clock thick rain set in, and increased up to 2, when it
cleared off, but the remainder of the day was cold and
s%owery.
LECTURE ON " GREAT MISSIONARIES."—The lecture
in Hope Hall to-night, is to be on this extremely
interesting and important topic. The lecturer is the Rev.
Andrew Thomson, D.D., of Edinburgh, a gentleman whose
eminent oratorical powers render him a most attractive and
popular public speaker. 'He is the author of a Life of the
celebrated divine. Dc. John Owen. The cl'air is to be
occupied by the Rev. Hugh Stowell Brown.
STANLEY VILLAGE LECTURE3.—The lecture, on Tuesday
evening, was delivered in St. Anne's National Schoolroom,
by Mr. Thomas Cooke, the subject being " Pastoral
Poetry." Many interesting selections were given from
Gray's Elegy, Goldsmith's Deserted Village, &c., &c., and
were much appreciated by the numerous audience. A
vote of thanks was accorded to Mr. Cooke. The Rev. T.
Gardner occupied the chair. Next week Mr. Marrat
lectures on "Geology and Mineralogy."
LIVERPOOL ARCHITECTURAL AND ARCHEOLOGICAL
SOCIETY.—There was a meeting of this body held last
night at the Royal Institution, Colquitt street. The paper
for the evening was, "On improv,d machinery for the
manufacture of bricks," by Mr. W. Imray. A short time
ago we described Mr. Imray's machine for making bricks,
so that it is not necessary to describe it here. The
following were the donations : " Minutes of the Meeting
of the Royal Institute of British Architects, January 26,
1857." From the Institute. " Building News," Vol. 3,
No. 6. " Banding Chronicle," No. 35. From the editors.
" Designs for Coloured Ornamental Glass Windows."
From Messrs. Chance Brothers and Co., Birmingham.
THE ATTEMPT AT MATRlClDE.—Yesterday, Susan
Jennings, who was remanded on a charge of having
attempted to cut her mother's throat, in Circus street, was
brought before Messrs. Grant and Smith, at the Police
Court, for final examination. The details of the case
appeared in our paper of yesterday. In addition to the
evidence already given, the father of the wretched girl
said she had made three previous attacks on her mother's
life, and he feared she would really kill her if she got an
opportunity. A. witness, who was passing the cellar at the
time of the frightful occurrence, said he saw the prisoner
seize the poor old woman by the hair of the head and drag
her about; he rushed to her assistance, and took the knife
out o f the prisoner's hand. The surgeon who had dressed
the wounds on the old woman's neck, said one was rather
dangerous, but at present he did not thick any fatal conse-
quences would follow. Had sufficient force, however,
been used with the knife, the result would have proved
mortal. The prisoner, who shrieked dreadfully, was fully
commit'eci for trial.

THE FANCY BALL,—No doubt the names of many parties
who attended the great ball, by some mistake or other
(certainly not ours), have been omitted from the published
lists in the papers. Several complaints have been
made on this point, but we beg to state that we are
not to blame, Some of the very absurd arrangements
made by the committee caused this complaint. Had the
body of solons who composed that committee, acted on the
general suggestioni offered by the representatives of the
Liverpool press, who, with all due deference, were better
practical judges than the committee could possibly lag bn
the subject, complaints and annoyances would have been
avoided. Should the committee ever have ~cca_ision to meet
again on a like subject, it is to be hoped they will be a little
less headstrong, and take the advice of those who are able
to counsel them. Amongst those present, whose names did
not appear, were Don Carlos Williams, the Chilian
Admiral, whose arrival here we noticed a day or two since.
He was dressed in the fell naval uniform of that country,
and along with his Excellency was Don Francisco Tomaso,
the Spanish and general interpreter, who was dressed in the
uniform of his country, and looked remarkably picturesque.
MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS.—Yesterday afternoon
at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council assembled and
was fully attended. The Earl Granville called
upon Lord Palmerston at Cambridge House,
Piccadilly, and had a lengthened interview with
his lordship. The noble lord afterwards called
upon several members of the Cabinet. Mr.
Cowper, the Viee-President of the Privy Council
on Education, also had a lengthened interview
with Lord Palmerston at Cambridge House. It
was expected that one of the members of the
Government would have attended the House of
Commons at twelve o'clock, for the purpose of
adjourning the House until the Ministers had
come to a decision in reference to the previous
night's division ; but, with the exception of Mr.
Baines, the Ministers were engaged in conferences
one with another, and none of them attended the
House.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The news of the defeat of the English ministry
created no sensation here, and in no way affected
business on the Bourse.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE•

FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.
For some days past it has been repeatedly
stated that the Treaty of Peace between England
and Persia was signed in Paris. The Belgian
journals, and particularly the Nord and the Me'
pendance, were especially remarkable for - their
premature announcements. Tile latter journal.
on the strength of a telegraphic despatch from
Paris, declared that on Sunday or on Monday
the signatures were positively affixed. Both
journals were in error. It was not signed
on Sunday or Monday, nor up to tW
o'clock this day. I may, however, now inform
you that it is very probable that at the hour I write
the treaty is signed. At least, it was this morning
fully expected that such would be the ease'
Feruk Khan stated last night that everything was
concluded yesterday. He added that he had mane
some sacrifices. What the sacrifices were he did
not mention ; that they are of the nature I have
already alluded to I think very probable. BLit'
according to him; the peace-is one which is, under
all the circumstances, honourable to his cone-
try. I only trust that my anticipations, founded
on the best authority, are now realised, and that
Lord Palmerston may have the satisfaction of
announcing to night in the House of Commons
that the war with Persia is at an end, and that,
among other desirable conditions, Herat will be
evacuated.

Now that matters have been brought to so satis-
factory a conclusion after many difficulties and
delays, arising in great measure from the peculiar
character of the persons with whom Lord Cowlq,,
had to deal, and whose patient perseverance enable'
him to overcome them, it is but an act of justice lt)
speak of the • gentlemen who have lent their oe-
operation. Lord Cowley has been assisted in ner
ciating with Feruk Khan by several Persian saw'
lars sent out from Englaad by the Government:
They are Mr. Ret:house, Colonel Otter, and Colonel
Ouseley. But it was, I believe, to Captain Lynelh
C 8., of the Indian Navy, that the country is in-
debted for the settlement of this question. Cep-
Lynch took part accidentally in the negociatioes,;
but he distinguished himself by his zeal, as well
as by his intimate knowledge of the Persianlanguage, and the great skill he displayed in deel,'i.
ing .vith Feruk Khan. It so often happens that
those who render important services to the State•
receive little or no acknowledgment from the
public that I think it but just to mention these
facts.
