OR, THE

. BEATING A WlFE.—Ellen Piling, the wife of a master
mason, living in Lansdowne-place, Everton, cha-ged her
husband, Joseph Pilling, with having violently assaulted
her. From the al pearance of the woman's fice, it
appeared that she was badly treated, and this was proved
by the complainant and a witness who saw part of the
prisoner's conduct towards her. He beat her fearfully
about the head and face with his han-ls He was sent t 3
gaol for six months, and kept to hard labour. The c lm-
plainant said she could not live with her husband after he
came out of gaol Mr. Mansfield : Come to me after the
first of January, when the new act comes into opera ion,
and I will sign a certificate for you to live separate, and
have your own property from him. [ rhis will be the first
case under the new divorce act ]
TREAT FOR TREAT !—A well dressed young woman,
named Anne Shehan, was brought up by detective officer
Sullivan, charged by M 4. J. Morton, forwarding agen-, of
No. 8, Galton-street, for having stolen his watch, a few
evenings ego, in a passage off Fontenoy-street. The com-
plainant said the prisoner followed him for acme time in
the street, wanting a treat, and in order to get rid of her
ha gave her a gls4 of rum. khe then said, " treat for
treat is fair play," but he refused to have any, when she
got him it, to a passage in Fontenoy-street, where he was
seized by two men, who " thrcttled him," whilst the
prisoner snatched the watch, and ran off with it. He
fully identified the prisoner, who was arrested by Sullivan,
on the 'Change flags, on Monday night. She was com-
mitted far trial at the sessions.

In re ANTHOXY O'Dixxsnr..—His Honour gave judge-
ment this day, on the application made on behs'f of the
bankrupt, a few days since, for his discharge from
Lancaster Cas le. He said that the petitioning creditor
had great reason to complain, because, though the case
for a long jyriod.had been adjourned from time to time,
and proteedion renewed on the assumption that the
bankrupt would file satisfactory accounts and give the
information required of him, he had not done so, and he
(his Hon our) was therefore at a loss to concaive how the
Court could ex end to him any consideration It was
impossible, too, to overlook the letter which the bankrupt
wrote from prison, because it showed that he was treating
the matter with a degree of levity which did not. place
him in a rosition to entitle him to the indulgence of the
Court. The offence was not one which was passed, and
for which a measure of punishment could be apportioned,
but was one which continued from nay to day so long as
the required accounts were not furnished. It was in
consequence impossible for the Court to ( rcLr his dis-
charge, and he (his Honour) was not prepared to say that
he should not remain the fall twelve months in prison,
unless the accounts were in the meantime furnished.
The application should therefore be refused. In conclusion,
his Honour observed that the bankrupt m;ght apply to be
brought up to be again examined. Mr. Bremner said
that he could not be brought up, except by habeas, which
would be t o expensive. Mr. Pemberton replied that he
could His Honour also thought. that the Court had the
power of ordering him, on application, to be brought up
fir examine. ion. Mr Bremner intimated that he would
give notice and make such an application on a future day.

sailor, was brought up by Superintendent Murphy, of the
Sailors' Home, on a charge of having used a forged cer-
t;ficate. Mr. Tyndall appeared to•prosecute for the vocal
Marine Board, and said he would tender as much evidence
as would enable his Worship to grant a remand, which he
intended to ask for. Superintendent Murphy said the
prisoner came with a forged certificate, and when eines-
tioned, ha said be got it from a man named Williams, who
WAS clerk to Mr. Evans, in Jordan•street. Mr. Bluck
said: I appear for David Witliams, and he is here, and
he will state that the story is utterly untrue. Mr Murphy
said : Williams is here• and repuliates all knowledge of
the certificate. The prisoner was roman led.

THE ROMAN CATHOLICS AND THE.

The Freeman's Journal publishes a part of a letter,
aldressed by Dr. Callen, the Cstholic Archbishop of
Dublin, to his vicar-Gmeral, the very Rev. Monsignore
Yore. dated 25th Septemb3r. The Arehbish )p says—

. -
It has given me much pleasu-e to learn that a movement is to be
male for the relief of oar fe loot conntrymon who have been reduced
to mise.y by the dreadfal ant wid o-spre al revo'ntioa now raging in
India, and menfacng the safety 0 the British empire. Those poor
sufferers are w ,rthy of on- deepest sympathy, and it is to be hopes
that the efforts male to relieve them will be attended with success.
However, bef ze we take any step I the matter, or cal on our flock,
t, flo so, perhaps it would b 3 wet to Loraine how the fund ahout t
be raised. is to b 3 m triage I, an 1 whether there is any danger that it
may be applied by bigots to proselyt'sing purposes. The recollection
of late transactions exciter] doalrs is my mini on this bead. In the
year 1854 you sn'oscribed to the Patriotic Fend an I you ware kind
eaough to hand is my contribudon for tle same object. I think also
that on the same occadon the Catholics of D subscribed very
generously, accord ng t their menus. Now how has that nod bean
managed? Yon recollect, and C mon Grimley that Catholic
clergymen of Dublin appliel to the as snagers of the fond in favour
of the widows an 1 orp'ains of ad Hers kiilel in the Crimea; yet, as
fir as I coal I learn, not one shilling was then ob:ained by such
applications Woe's relief wile granted in Dublin, a parson was
always employe I to administer it; and 1 have heard that he
generally selec.ed a Protestant chtrch or vest y as the pace of doling
it oat, thus ,o ripe' ing poor Catholic wilows to undergo the mortifi-
cation of via'ting a hence of worship- which it is against their feelings
and conscleace ever to en .er, and patinae& of waiting for him there
before they could see the agent from whom they were to receive
assistance.

After adducing a number of other facts, with a view to
show that, Roman Catholics are unfairly treated, the
Archbishop concludes as follows:
I am mstnnxioui that everything should be done to raHeve tht.•
sufferers in Lifts, ; let u=, however, have suns security that the funds
cellects i w.ll not be appli d to the foundation of Protestant asylums
for the perver4on of poor Catholiz orphans. The management of the
Patriotic Fund shows hem' necessary it 13 torus to be cautious. The
continua' complaints of Catholic bishops and missionaries in India
about the attempts made by the East India C 'ropily to proselytise
should increase our alarm. *Real D octor Fmelly's late parnphl:t, and
you will se) to what an extent that Company has attempted to
prom )te Protestagtis-so by perverting the orphans of Irish Catholic
set lets. It aopeara to m :that the proper nne for coming to a far
understanding abaut:therAs matters is before any fit d itcollected.

The steam-transport, Due de Brabant, which arrived at
Woolwich, on Friday, in charge of a Belgian crew, will in
future be known under the name of the Prince Albert,
which has been substitu'el for that of the Duke de lira
halt, since her engagers ant for the conveyance of troops to
India. Captain Yuunghusband, who commanded the
Sovereign, in the transport service, during the late Russian
war, and whose experience of six'een years service afloat,
has rendered eligible f,r the pas', has been appointed to
the c,ommand of the Pfince Albert, and has awe eded in
engaging an dfiient brdy of offi.lers and men, who will
consist of about 100 of every clas.?. Each of the officers
on entering the Company's servic is provided with a
complete suit of naval uniform, free Gf expense. According
to her rate of speed, performed in two trial:trips, of sixteen
knots per hour, it is expected that she will reach B..mbay
in, 81E1-probably under, airy days, a voyage hitherto unpre-
ce lensed. The Princesstharlotte, another of the Company's
vessels, is being fitted out at Southampton, the whole of
their et-amers haring been tat lered to, and accepted by the
India- House.

ENGLI,II jOURNALPM-: "The Etta.."—:;very person
(says the Bradford Observer) connected with, the press,
who has anything of the esprit de corps•of his profession,
must feel proud of tie Times ewsp-iper its vast circula-
lation, its innumerable alvertisemeuts, its manly utterances,
its extraordinary ability, its comprehensive information,
combine to mike it to its coteraporarieF, not an object of
envy, but of admiration. But the Times- has great and
grave faults, ncverthol-e:,s, and to multitudes it is not an
object of admiration bat of dislike, suspicion, and even
hatred. They see, or ilink they see, in the • Tines news-
paper, a power whichis prejudicial to some of the highest
moral and social interests in du: community ;: or if not so
already, that there is a danger of its- 1).-.c maing so. Sane
gentlemen holdiu7 this opinion hale conceived the idea of
starting another daily paper—not with any desire to over-
turn the 7imes, but to neutraNse its evil influence and to
cheek its pr,:ud and overbearing tend-:ncies._ The
originated some tvo years ago, and has been slowly
giowiog and expanding ever stuce;-. and at this moment
some 3,000 persons, many of them having a national
repatat'on, and the rma.iider for t- :elnust part occupying
honourable and inftoential positions in their several
localities, have formed themselves into a joint-stock com-
pany, and subscribe] nearly £70;000 for the purpose of
:startinl The Dial. Tuis new venture, however, is not to
:appear till the number of eiarehdders, and the amount of
capital are greatly increased. It is proposed to get 50,000
of the former, and to make the latter 42-50,000, before
issuing No 1;, and certain gentlemen are exerting
themselves with, great z.3al and energy to achieve this
position. Mr. Hancock, who is connected with the proposed
Dial, is now in Liverpool, and it will be seen from an
advertisement in another column, that he is prepared to
receive applications for shares, and to give all necessary
infirmation.

An
ATLA3 GRATIS WITH ran I'DISP:I7CII..”-03 and after
Sunday, October 4th, 1857,_ each copy of the Dispatch
will be accompanied with a map, a chart, or the plan of
of a principal town, so as to furnish to each subscriber,

useful Alas hitherto published in Great Britain. The

newspaper, six maps awl two plans, in each year,, will be
of doable the size-17 inches by 25. The ordinary map
will be correctly tinted,.the charts will be properly relieved
in blue, and the plans will be printed in a rich colour.
The (double maps will: be the object of great attention in
the desire to make them beautiful specimens of maps
colouring. It is hoped, in the course of no, anreasenably
protracted time, that the Dispatch Atlas will contain
more names and positions of places than any other English
publication of the kin]. The counties will be given se-
parately, and whe--e they are large and populous, as in the
case of Lancashire, eaoh div'sion of the coanty will occupy
a page; again, the Stees of Italy will be the subject of
six distinct maps. Tee names of the draughtsmen and
engravers will be the best guarantee for perfect accuracy.
The maps will be as full as clearness and reference will
allow. Corrections and discoveries will be given from
the best au horities. The engravings will be in the
highest style of art, mmy thousands of pounds being
deviated to their cos', and they will be taken from original
drawings expressly prepared for the series. Directors of
mechanics' institutes, the coeductors of all educational
establishments, the proprietors of hotels, reading-rooms,
and coffe7-houses, will, in poeee;sing the Dispatch Atlas

completed work may be best ascertained by inquiring the
selling price of any large and trustworthy collection of
maps. The Dispatch Atha will he forwarded with the
numbers of the paper at the usual price, 51. per co,ay, or
6d. stamped. On the fist issue some hints wi Ibe given
