Waver,ree. ivov(mber 4th, 1857.

My dear sir,—l regret to say chit illy state of health is
to capricious. and my attendance at the Board, in consequence,
so iaterimp'ed, that I have curisidered it my duty to the
guardians, as well as to the interes•s of the union, to resign
the post which hrs ben assigned me, of presiding over the
tialiberstions of the Board.
I cannot take this course, however, without expressing
though you, to the guardians of the West Derby Union my
warmest thanks for the kind forbearance, the ready support.
art vardial confider ce, which thi y have evinced towards me
race they did me the honour of appointing me the;r chairman.
I be„ to assure them that I shall ever entertain the liveliest
Tecoilrctinti cf their many rots of f.vr ur and personal regard for
we, in the position which, as guardian and eliaiiman,l have
lest occupied among them, and I rejoice to think that I shall
still have occasional oArortuoi y of renewirg my friendship
withtlem, in attending those meetings of the Board in a more
private capacity than the one which I feel myself far from
adequate any longer to fid. I trust, therefore, that they will
accept my resignation of the chair with tho same kindly feel-
iags a 3 marked my eke ion to it.
.Pray present my regards to the guardians, and I hope you
will do me the justice to believe that I include you self in
ererything I have said respecting them, with the addition, how-
ever, of my grateful acknowled,tment of the valuable profes-
airmal aid and advice you have always afforded me in the
dlitharge of my official duties at the Board. Believe me, my
altar sir, yours very sineerey, WILLIAM BADNALL.

issue of Mr. Gough's trial yesterday, and the remarks
labial the presiding magistrate felt himself justified in
asaltirg, at the termination, with regard to the defendant
'tat he was only legally acquitted,' and also taking into
cousideration that 'this remark was made p evious to the
avunination of any, witness for the defence had be n
*awed into, this Bard cannot rest satisfied with the
moral imputations restir g upon their Governor's character.
Ea !Oust not only be leg4!ly, but morally, acquitted from

INDI►N KNIGHTS OP, TEM ROAD.—The San Antonio
Tim= says that a party ef 450 indiais recently passed
Cataanche Sprirgs, of their way down into Mexico, on a
plundering expedition. Near thole they met several Mexi-
can teams loaded with necessa•i's for Captain Po,ra's
sxpeeition. The Indian Chef, ai h a few cf his mt n,
called almn the wagon master of thl train, told him that
Ise bad some fine animals, and that he would take forty of
them, which he did. He then took eight fane?as ef corn,
a giver Incanted bowls knife, and some other things, and
then said to the Mex'cans: "I am much obliged to yon
far terse—tow, sir leave us as fast as possible. for I have
had hard work to keep my men from Phan lering your whole
train, and if you don't leave they may take' all you h:f e.
sad kill you besidas. Sa, be Off!"

A CLERICAL DITAULTER AT CIIELTENHAM.—During the
past week a sert of siege hat been kept before the residence
cf a person named Waish, at Andoverstord, living in a
famished house, which it appears he hod taken for twelve
loveohs. He states himself to be a clerk in holy order-,
aral has, during the period he has occupied the residence,
dote duty in one or two churches in the neighboerlrel.
The ;sawn calls himself the Rev. Mr. Welsh, and was, be
asp, at the battle of Waterleo, where he lest a lee.
During the short periled that he has taken up his r,si-
shr,ce, Mr. Walsh has nut forgotten to pa'rouise, in a very
ari!ensiTe mane-, several of cur leading tradesmen. The
aateeedents of the: " teverend gentleman" becoming known,
it has been favonrcd with a few pressing call., bet found
ist eoav eient to be "fr in lame." On Tuesday some
dr= tredeinen agreed to keep " watch and ward," and
the house was fairly surroended by clamorous tradesmer,
who demanded immella e settlement cf their "small
&crenate," cr a r ettration of their property. In one or
two inetauces they succeeded in getting back their goods.
A gun maker who hid sold the "reverend beenthmat," an
salient gun fcr 15 guineas, had it restored, the gun
biting lowered from the first flmr window by a strirg.
Mr. Arkell, coeiage manufacturer, obtained back his
eerriage M. Arkell and his assistants, unesremoni usly
seized. and immediately conveyed it away in triumph,
though Mr. Walsh threatened them with all siirs of
actions. Since this adventure the doors and windows
have been securely barred, and all except the ." garrison"
denied, which, if not well provisioned, will be usable to
.trastaia a lenwhened siege. During the last few days the
sails on the besiegett have been very urgent, but have pro-
dated no effect. A splendid set of harness was unfortu •
;lately obtained from a young tradesman who is unable
to bear the loss, and every rratagem has beau adopted to
get repossession of the goods, but without success. The
stsperintendent of the police, who wished most partici'.
lasly to transact a "tittle business with the eligible
tenant," informs us that he has at length made himself
series; and is non esi inventus.—Cheltenhan Chronicle.
