GRAND POLYTECHNICAL DISPLAY.—For the first
time in England Mr. H. Hoffert will present his highly
instructive and delightful entertainment in Clayton
Hall this evening. We promise ourselves a great treat,
and would recommend all who have any taste for such
things not to lose the opportunity of being present.
ACCIDENTS.—A labouring nian, named Michael Geary,
was severely injured about the leg yesterday, in conse-
quence of a cask falling on him while at work in a ware-
house in Stone-street.—James Hassell, a sailor belonging
to the ship Thornton, fell off the poop on to the deck,
and sustained considerable injuries in the hip and leg.
THE LATE CAPTAIN HARRISON.—We understand
that the mortal remains of the deceased Capt. Harrison
will be removed from where they now lie, at a house
late in the occupation of the deceased, Itiilbrook-road,
Freemantle, Southampton, to Liverpool, for interment.
Flags were mounted half-mast high in many parts of
Southampton, on Monday, out of respect to the memory
of the deceased.
HENGLER'S CIRCUS.--It will be observed that this
afternoon, at half-past two o'clock, there will be pre-
sented, at the Cirque Variete, the grand juvenile
spectacle of " Cinderella, or the Little Glass Slipper ;"
and we can confidently say that Mr. Hengler thus offers
a great treat to the more youthful portion of the com-
munity. The appointments are really gorgeous, and the
incidents of the performance are exceedingly interesting
and picturesque, and altogether such as cannot fail to be
appreciated by those for whose enjoyment the piece is
specially designed. The comfortable accommodation
provided for all classes, and the highly chaste and
decorous manner in which everything is conducted in
the arena, entitle the spirited proprietor of this circus
to the encouragement and support of all who countenance
healthy and innocent recreation.,
YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.—The second
of the present course of lectures in connection with this
association was delivered, last night, in Hope-hall. by
the Rev. C. M. Osborne. The audience was one of the
most numerous that has yet attended these lectures ;
the hall was completely filled by' a highly respectable
and intelligent audience. The lecture consisted of two
parts, each of which was treated with great ability by
the rev. lecturer. The first of these portions was oc-
cupied by a brief yet comprehensive biography of the
man James Montgomery ; while the second part was
more immediately concerned in a critical analysis of the
poet's works. These two divisions were wrought out in
that original and telling style for which the lecturer is
noted—a style which, on the present occasion, proved a
most happy medium for telling the simple yet earnest
tale of a simple, earnest, and beautiful poet.
CORONER'S COURT, YESTERDAY. A considerable
number of cases were reported at the Coroner's Court,
yesterday, but as no jury had been 'summoned none of
the matters could be gone into until to-day. An infant,
six weeks old, the illegitimate daughter of Elizabeth
Lewis, a widow, residing at No. 1 court, Cookson-street,
off Pitt-street, died very suddenly in bed on Monday
morning, a few minutes after its mother had left it.—A
man, whose name is at present unknown, was killed in
Ranelagh-place, on Monday evening, by a horse and
cart knocking him down and running over him. It ap-
peared that the horse was frightened in Brownlow-hill,
by a dog jumping and barking at it, and set off at a
rapid pace down, the hill and through Ranelagh-place.
The driver, James Beynley, was apprehended and taken
to bridewell.—A man of the name of Alexander Jameson,
residing in Regent-street, was killed yesterday, while
working in the hold of the steamship Palestine, lying
in the Huskisson Dock, by a bale of goods falling on his
shoulders.—Muesa Schumacher., a German child, resid-
ing with its parents in Maguire-street, died suddenly
yesterday, from the effects of scalds sustained a few days
previously.—The body of Evan Jones, a labourer, thirty-
five years of age, was found yesterday, off the bank at
the' south end of George's Pier. Deceased had been
drowned some time before. •
BIRKENHEAD COUNTY COURT.—At this court, yester-
day, an action was brought by Messrs. Walker and Co.,
undertakers, to recover the sum of £2 Is. 6d.. the value
of a coffin supplied by the plaintiffs to Mr. Humphrey.
It appears that on the 22nd of December Mrs. Hum-
phrey died ; and her husband being anxious to procure'
a respectable coffin, went to the plaintiff's shop and
ordered a cloth-covered one for the following Saturday.
When the coffin arrived at defendant's house he refused
to pay for or use it. The reason alleged for this conduct
was that the material of which the coffin was made was
inferior to that which had Leen ordered. The defendant
afterwards went to another shop and obtained a coffin.
The defendant stated that he expressly ordered oak, and
not deal, which was the wood of which the rejected
coffin was made. His Honour decided for the plaintiffs
to the full amount claimed.
MARINE DISASTERS.—Each day brings from every
part of the coast news of fresh disasters to the shipping
during the late gale. The Eliza and Ann, of New
Quay, from Cardiff to Liverpool, beat heavily during
Saturday night, and on Sunday morning sunk, turning
over on her broadside, in which position she now lies
near Hubberston Pill. The Jane, of Milford, from
Liverpool to Limerick with salt, broke from her moorings
in Port William Bay, off Luce. She was driven across
the harbour with so much violence that her stern post
was started, and as she is now making water, her cargo
will require to be discharged before she can be got off
for repairs. The ship Victoria, bound hence to Mobile,
was riding at anchor on Monday outside the lighthouse
at Fleetwood, with her sails completely shattered. On
Saturday the Annabella, from Stranraer to Liverpool,
laden with wheat, was on shore near Carrickfergus,
but was expected to be got off. without damage. The
Burgomaster Kraeft, from Liverpool, and the Macedonia
put into Carnarvon on Monday,.. The first struck
several times while crossing the bar ; some butts
and the foremast are started, and as she is leak-.
ing, will be • obliged to discharge. The damage sus-
tamed by the latter is confined to the sails. The Lily

wreck. A telegram received yesterday from Queenstown,
intimates that the schooner Allobus, of Swansea, parted
her moorings in Ballygonagan Bay, near Beerhaven, on
Saturday, and has since become a total wreck. The
masts, spars, rigging, and a quantity, of other stores,
have been saved from the Fair Kathleen, from Liverpool
to Shields, and which was lately wrecked near Cromarty.
