Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day.

6 dis

Market opens quiet. Sales probably 5,000 bales.

SOLDIERS' AGES.—Of the 50,420 men serving in
the regiments at home in the year 1863, not reckon-
ing the depots, the returns of ages are as follows :-6,016
were under 20 years of age ; 19,775 were 20, but under 25;
13,615 were 25, but not 30 ; 6,911 were 30, but not 35 ;
3,280 were 35, but not 50 ; 823 were 40 and upwards.
There were, therefore, nearly as many above 25 as under.
Of the recruits inspected in the same year nearly three-
fifths were under 20, 1,003 were boys under 17, 1,573 were
from 17 to 18, 7,764 from 18 to 19, 4,697 from 19 to 20,
3,221 from 20 to 21, 2,035 from 21 to 22, 1,854 from 22 to
23, 2,736 from 23 to 25, and 634 above 25.
- SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF THE FATHER OF THE
MAN WHO SHOT BOOTH, THE ASSASSIN.—On Tues-
day B. Corbett, aged 82, was convoyed to the Marylebone
workhouse infirmary, so very ill and his head so dreadfully
swollen from erysipelas that he cannot possibly survive
Many hours. For many years past the old man has lived
in a small back room in Chapel-street, Edgware-road, and
for the last seven years no one but himself had entered the
place. He was understood to be a taxidermist, and was
considered to be very clever at his business. Nothing hav-
ing been seen or heard of him for some days the police) were called in, and the door broken open, when the room
was found to be full of rubbish, and Corbett was seen
crouched in a corner, in a state of delirium He was re-
moved at once to the workhouse. The room, from the floor
to the coiling, was found to be crammed with cases of
stuffed birds, books, and papers. The latter were carefully
covered and labelled, and many of them appear to be of
value. An avenue, 3ft. high by 2a. wide, and formed of
stuffed birds, &c., led to a recess, not much larger than the
interior of an ordinary sized portmanteau, and this eccen-
tric individual must have slept in this recess for many
years. From a statement made and by numerous letters
found in the room, it appears that the old man is the father
of Sergeant Corbett, of the Federal cavalry, who shot the
assassin Booth, and who is expected shortly to arrive in
this country.
It has been agreed by a large number of influen-
tial farmers in the hundred of Wirral, assembled at a
meeting in Birkenhead, to form a society for their mutual
assurance should the cattle plague appear in the hundred.
There are about 5,000 head of cattle in the district, valued
in the aggregate at .£50,000 or more. The insurance will
amount to a uniform rate of £lO per beast ; and only the
plague -will be insured against. It will be open to the
ownerse valuable cattle to take more shares than ono for
