Mr. Mellor here observed that unless he should be in-
structed by others, he should now confine his questions
as to the course of the ship on the night when she
struck. He suggested that it was of importance that
some nautical man, who well knew the coast, should be
called and examined. He also thought it right to call
the attention of the coroner to another circumstance.
He understood that some time ago the Royal Charter
was altered, and that such alterations had weakened her,
a fact known to the owners.
A chart was here produced, and Captain Martin ex-
plained it to the coroner and Mr. Mellor. ,
• George Suaicar, the boatswain's mate, was next ex-
amined. He said—When off Holyhead the weather
was hazy, and the wind blowing fresh from the S.E.
The storm was increasing all the time, and the Admiralty's
regulation lights were put up at about five o'clock.
When off Point Lynas the wind began to blow more
heavily. We passed Point Lynas at about half-past
nine. Point Lynas light was out of sight when we
dropped anchor, which was done about eleven o'clock.
The first anchor parted about two in the morning. The
second parted about three. The ship grounded about
fifteen or twenty minutes after she parted with her
second anchor. In an hour or an hour and a-half after-
wards, when the tide made, she went upon the rocks,
when she broke in two right across. There was no pos-
sibility of sending a rope ashore on account of the dark-
ness. The hawser was got ashore as soon as we could
see the first glimmer of day. A seaman took it ashore.
There was only time to get sixteen persons ashore by
the hawser. The others saved were washed ashore. It
took about an hour to send those sixteen persons ashore.
The villagers fastened the hawser to the rocks. The
forward part of the vessel was divided from the aft before
one half of them got ashore. She parted across the
main hatches. Everything was done that could be done
to save life. Captain Taylor was on deck nearly all
night. He was all the time perfectly sober.
The witness was under examination when our parcel
was sent off.

The correspondent of the Times says, that to the
Italians it seems that safety is only to be found in the
rashest and most irretrievable step ; and he speaks of
the probability of Garibaldi being able to march vic-
toriously to Naples, where 9,000,000 Italians could be
secured to the national cause.

will be found in our paper of to-day, respecting the
organisation of the Liverpool Volunteer Artillery and

sent moment. It is ,o.ratifying to find that there is such
a readiness to come forward and organise a brigade of
this kind, the services of which will always be ready in
case of any emergency, and we consider that there
is a great obligation upon all classes to come for-
ward liberally in aid of such a movement. Some may
do it by enrolling themselves in the brigade. Others,
who cannot do this, may give their assistance by con-
tributing to its funds. Almost all, therefore, may do
something, and every one is bound to• do his utmost in
furtherance of so patriotic and praiseworthy an object.
HisTonrc SOCIETY.—A meeting of the archaeological
section of the Historic Society of Lancashire and
Cheshire, was held last night, in the Grand Jury
Room, St. George's-hall. The society acknowledged
receipt of the following works, viz. :—The Report
of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society ; from the
society. The Thirty-ninth Annual Report of the
Birkenhead Public Library, 1859 ; from the com-
mittee. The Husks and Coating of the Seeds of Wheat,
and other Cereals ; from the author. Transactions of the
Essex Archaeological Society; from the society. Memoires
de la Societe des Antiquaries de Normandie, 3 serie, 2
vols. ; presented by C. Roach Smith, F.S.A. The pre-
sentations having been acknowledged, some archwolo-
gical specimens were exhibited by the Rev. Dr. Hume,
one of which wasta curious statuette in bronze,procured
near Rome. Two splendid and rare specimens of
Etruscan glass, one of which exhibited a very beau-
tiful iridescence. Also an old printed book, with many
curious woodcuts and illuminations, " Horo Beato
Mario Virginius ; Paris, 1524." The paper by the
president, which was announced for the evening, was
postponed, in the hope of his being present to read it
in person. The Secretary, however, read a paper by
Professor Connelan, on " The Poems of Orsin, commonly
called Ossian." This was a second paper on the sub-
ject, in which the learned author demonstrated that the
original poeins of Ossian are still in MS. in Ireland, and
that Macpherson's book was a spurious imitation of them.
The actual poems are in the course of publication by the
Ossianic Society of Dublin, with the Irish and English
on different pages ; while the expressions of Macpher-
son's book have been identified in Homer and in Solomon
Long, by Malcolm Laing. At the conclusion of the
paper, Dr. Hume addressed the society, and gave addi-
tional proofs that Macpherson's edition of Ossian's poems
was not the genuine one. He concluded by thanking
the essayist for the valuable information he had succeeded
in obtaining with reference to this matter. A vote of
thanks having been tendered to the lecturer, the meeting

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

CLAYTON HALL.-To-night is appointed for the
benefit, and last appearance but one, of Mr. and Mrs.
Howard Paul. There will be a day performance to-
morrow at two o'clock.

WORICHOTJSE COMMITTEE.-Mr. Church warden Crop-
per presided at the , usual weekly meeting of this com-
mittee, yesterday, and the other members present were—.
Messrs. Critchley, Syred, Denton, Broom, Cafferata,
Peck, Byford, Williams, A. Byford, Owen, Gair, and
Smith. The medical officers reported that last week
there were 555 paupers under treatment in the hospital ;
150 new caws had been since admitted, 100 cured and
discharged, 14 had died,, and there remained under
treatment 591, of which 15 were fever, and 7 itch cases.
Mr. Carr, the Governor, reported that the number of
paupers in the house was 1,972, the number in the cor-
responding week of last year having been 2,191, shew-
ing a decrease this year of 219.—During the past week
292 persons had been relieved at the vagrant sheds. Of
these, 192 were men, 84 women, and 16 children. The
return showed a decrease of 37 persons, but as com-
pared with the corresponding week of the last year, an
increase of 16 persons. —The other business before the
committee was unimportant.
TOXTETR GUARDIANS.—The usual weekly meeting of
this board was held yesterday; Mr. Alpass presiding. The
other guardians present were—Messrs. J. Moss, John
Wilson, W. Baynes, Joseph Harrison, M. A. Johns, J.
B. Hughes.—Mr. Gough, the Governor of the West
Derby Workhouse, reported that the number of paupers
in that establishment belonging to Toxteth-park was
362, showing a decrease of one as compared with last
week, and an increase of nine as compared with the cor-
responding week of last year. The number of patients
in the hospital was 26, against 28 last week.—A cheque,
to the amount of £lOO, was drawn for the relief of out-
door paupers.—A letter from the Poor-law Board was
read, acknowledging the receipt of extracts from the
minutes of the guardians, relative to the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Holmes, who have been recently
appointed governor and matron of the new workhouse,
residing with them in it, which the board refused to
allow, unless she did so as a paid servant, and amenable
to the authority of the ghardians. Aftm some discus-
sion, it was agreed by the meeting to appoint Miss
Holmes sewing mistress pro ton.—A letter was also
read from Mr. Mannering, poor-law inspector, intimating
that he had received instructions to make inquiry into
the conduct of Mr. Heath, relieving officer, and that he
would attend at the board-room For that purpose, on
Tuesday next, Nov. 8, and also directing the guardians
to have summonses served on the witnesses by proper
persons.—This concluded the business before the

THE BALL AT THE TOWN-HALL,

LAST NIGHT.

The• happiness of doing good certainly appertains to
the present Mayor of Liverpool, William Presto; Esq.,
for his Worship has one of those minds which never
seem to grow cold,—there is a degree of warmth and a
genuine kindliness about him that has won for him the
respect of his fellow-citizens ; and from his happy and
tranquil face one might truly feel that " happiness is a
perfume that one cannot shed over another without a
few drops falling on one's self." His Worship's vale-
dictory entertainment last night was worthy of a citizen
of Liverpool; for although, as Doran says, "a dinner
sharpens wit, while it softens the heart," one is con-
strained to remember that, in these days of regeneration
the frigid rule that the fair sex shall not be present at
the salle a manger still continues in force, and reflects
on our taste.

The world was sad, the garden was a wild ;
And man, the hermit, sighed till woman smiled,

Dinners are all very well in their way, but a noted
Liverpool divine has told us, that the body as well as the
mind feels the gladdening influence of dancing. True ;
and therefore his Worship has added grace to his
valedictory festival, by a regard to the ladies ; and
instead of giving a banquet, very judiciously gave a
ball, which was attended very numerously ; and,
amongst others, by a party from Sefton Hall, including
the Earl of Sefton, the Dowager Countess of Sefton,
Lord Skelmersdale' Captain C. B. Molyneux, Lady
Caroline Townley, Hon. Cecil Payne, &c., &c. The
Earl and Countess of Derby and family were prevented
from attending, as they had intended to have done, by
a domestic calamity. Athongst the invited guests were
the following—but in some few cases the parties were
prevented from attending, owing to family bereavements,
absence from town, &c.

LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASSOCIATION.—The usual
monthly meeting of the above association was held in
the institution yesterday afternoon. The members present
were—Messrs. Warmer, chairman ; H. Lumb, T. Jones,
W. Coward, G. Howe, T. Calderbank. C. Batten, J.
Porter, H. Curwen, W. Crane, H. Homby, John Allison
and John Atkinson, the two latter trustees. The
minutes of the committee having been confirmed, Mr.
Allison moved that the annual ball of the institution
should take place on Wednesday, the 11th of January.
Several members thought that if it took place on that
date, it would come in contact with the Masonic Ball.
After some discussion it was resolved, on an amend-
ment moved by Mr Howe, that it should take place on
Tuesday, Jan. 24th.. Mr. Atkinson said, in accordance
with the resolution of this board he had attended the annual
dinner of the Manchester Licensed Victuallers' Associa-
tion (who have presented this society with a photograph
of the chairman and four others, members of their
society,) and the general feeling there seemed to be
that there should be some change in the mode that
licenses were granted. They would not allow a pub-
lican to make any alteration on his premises, or the
magistrates withdrew his license ; but recently they
had set them at defiance, and a great number of altera-
tions had taken place. He thought that some steps
should be taken by the institutions, to have the law
amended. Mr. Allison :—What do you propose to
do in the meantime ? Mr. Atkinson said, in Manchester
they thought the best way would be to call a meeting of
deputations from the surrounding towns. The secretary
said there was a committee already formed, for the pur-
pose of considering the licensing system, and he would
have a meeting called at an early period. Mr. Jones
gave notice that, at the next meeting, he should move a
resolution with respect to the admission of parties
wishing to join the institution. Some formal business
was then transacted, after which the meeting broke up.

—The following statement with reference to the
state of the Tide and Tidal Current at Moelfra, on the
night of Tuesday, and morning of Wednesday, 25tii and
26th ultimo, may prove of interest to some of your
readers.

I abstain from drawing any inference from the facts

the inquiry which must take place relative to the loss of
this ship.

steam had no effect, but we did all we could to keep the ship
off. The main topsail was lowered, but she still drifted.
Clewed up the main-topsail, and the hands were sent up to
furl it. The wind had now increased considerably, almost
blew the sail from the yard, and it became entangled on_the
starboard side. It was difficult to get the sail stowed. At this

self, were trying to make the sail fast, but could not succeed
in accomplishing it. Shortly afterwards orders were given to
cock-bil the port anchor, and let go. This was done, giving
her seventy-five fathoms of chain. The vessel was steaming
the whole time. Finding she was dragging, we paid out all
the port chain. The vessel was still steaming, and the wind
had now increased to a perfect hurricane. Still finding her
dragging, we let go the starboard anchor. We then went to
get the stream anchor up, and while doing so the starboard
chain parted. I then felt the ship canting over to port, and
fancied the wind had changed. Orders were then given to cut
away the mainmast, which was done, and in a few minutes
afterwards she struck ox a bank. The captain gave orders to
the engineer to give her as much steam as he could, to harden
her on the bank. It was then about three-quarters ebb tide.
The place where she struck was at the west of Moelfra, east-
ward of Point Lynas.

On the night of Tuesday, 25th October, it was high
water at Liverpool at 10.33 p.m., from which I have
calculated, according to the method explained at p. 36
of my work on the Tides of the Irish Sea ; that at 8
T.m.—when the Royal Charter was off the Skerries, the
idal Current was setting her to the N. E. (true) at
the rate of 21 kpots per hour. At the point of the
coast where the unfortunate ship struck, there was low
water at 3.30 a.m. on Wednesday morning, and high
water at 9.15 p.m. on Tuesday night.
As it is of .the utmost importance that the attention
of Shipowners should be directed to the subject of the
Tides and Tidal Currents of the Irish Sea, I propose to
send you a few particulars respecting the loss of the
Pomona, the Irawaddy, and some others, in the course
of a few days.—l am, your obedient servant,

The various apartments" in the Hall were much admired
by the numerous guests ; and the band of the Pen-
sioners, which was stationed in the vestibule, added
considerably to the charms of the evening.
The gallery at the top of the staircase was partly
filled with plants and shrubs of the very choicest and
rarest kind that could be procured, amongst which were
many beautifully-grown ferns, as well as other uncom-
mon plants, from the greenhouses of the mayor.
On the walls of the reception-room were large screens
containing a number of beautiful water-Colour drawings,
kindly contributed by Mr. Grundy, of Church-street.
There was a very fine and important work by T. Sidney
Cooper, A.R.A., of "Cattle in the Canterbury Meadows;"
"A Rocky River Scene in Glen Falloch, Perthshire,"
by T. M. Richardson—a very powerful and vigorous
drawing ; and two others by the same master—one a
view of the " Lago Maggiore," beautiful in colour and
full of atmosphere, the other representing " The Pass of
St. Gothard ; ' " The Interior of a Cathedral in Bel-
gium," by Louis Haghe. We noticed, as a very mas-
terly and effective drawing, also, "The Sybil's Temple
at Tivoli," by Prout ; " Industry," and " Idleness," two
clever drawings, by Roberts ; and a charming picture of
" Fruit," by Hunt—one of those delicious gems in which
he stands unrivalled. Mr. Grundy also contributed
many other fine drawings by Lewis, Prout, Cattermole,
Jenkins, Nash, &c., which we have not space to particu-
larise.

THE LATE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES.
Sin,—lt cannot but be gratifying for you to know
that the wholesome and timely advice you so willingly
tendered previous to the elections, which terminated
on Tuesday last, has been adopted in all the different
wards that were contested ; and with the exception of
St. Peter's, the Conservative citadel, which was so ruth-
lessly assailed by the Radical faction, has remained im-
prepable.

In another room were some clever miniatures in
coloured photography by Stortz, and one of natural
size, all of which attracted much attention. There
was also in this room a full-sized portrait of William
Brown, Esq., which has been recently added to the
collection of paintings. Several microscopes of high
power excited great interest amongst the groups who
surrounded them as the different objects were ex-
hibited and explained by their owners Messrs. Hard-
man, Abraham, Allen, Dr. Scholfield, and others.
We must congratulate the gentlemen on the taste dis-
played in selecting objects at once interesting and in-
structive, regretting only that the society to which they
belong is not better known to the public in general, as
there can be no more rational occupation than observing
the wonderful works of nature. Here also were some
astonishing photographs taken from living groups of
figures, and furnished by the politeness of Mr. Chad-
burn, of Lord-street. An inspection of these works of
art afforded considerable gratification to the numerous
assemblage.
At nine o'clock dancing commenced, the band, led by
Mr. Streather, "discoursing sweet music," and affording
the utmost satisfaction by the brilliancy and precision
of its execution. The following is the programme of
the dance

Toxteth, North and South, has set an example worthy
of its high Conservative and constitutional character ;
and Messrs. Robertson and Livingstone, two; staunch and
unyielding Conservatives, have been returned by tri-
umphant majorities.
Vauxhall has chosen the long-tried man of its choice
again for three years, and St. Anne's has shaken off the
incubus of Radicalism and elected Mr. Nickson, who
would do honour to any constituency.
Pitt-street, although threatened with dislodging Mr.
Jeffreys, has stood firm to its principles; and famous
St. Paul's, not regarding the motley group that was put
forth in anonymous placard as seeking its representa-
tion, has taught the Liberal politicians that they will
stand fast by their uncompromising and useful frien;
Mr. 0. Holden, who has so faithfully discharged his duty.
On the other hand, a voice has just gone forth from Lime-
street, Everton and Kirkdale, that cannot fail to produce
terrovand dismay in the Radical ranks. Although, for
the present, the Conservatives have been unsuccessful
there, a breach has been made in the fortress of Radi-
calism, which only requires to be followed up ; and if
the example and advice of Toxteth be attended to,
ultimate success must crown the day.
Let me tender a few words of advice to the Conserva-
tive party in the Council. On the 9th instant eight
aldermen retire. They have the majority in the chamber
yet. I ask them to do their duty like men in the election
that is now pending. The voice of Conservatism has
spoken to the country. It still proclaims that there is
an undying energy connected with it. Let the Con-
servatives on the 9th stand by the good cause, and elect
their Conservative aldermen.—l am, sir, your obedient
servant, No SURRENDER.

In the dinin.g-room a magnificent supper was laid,

and it is needless to say that the viands were profuse in
quantity, and in quality not to be excelled. The supper-
room was opened at eleven o'clock, by his Worship the
Mayor, who conducted the Dowager Countess of Sefton,
