LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.
The Montreal Ocean. Steamship Company's
steamer Indian, Jones commander, has arrived
from Quebec with dates to the 26th ult., 50 cabin,
and 115 steerage passenger,. The Indian experi-
enced cloudy and thick, foggy weather, strong
breezes, hail and rain. On the 25th, off the
Pilgrims, passed the ship Ailsa, of • Glasgow and
China, and on the same day, off Hare Islands, the
ship spindola, of Portgrund, and the Montezuma,
of Falmouth, all bound up ; on the 27th spoke the
Abigail, of Poole, from Bristol, out 38 days ; on
the 29th, with Belle Isle abeam, passed several
icebergs ; and on the Ist inst. exchanged signals
with the Royal Mail steamship Anglo Saxon,
bound west.

The Montreal Eiening Pilot states that a gene-
ral election was about to take place at Toronto, and
that the Opposition anticipated the overthrow of
the present Ministry, and that there was a rumour
to the effect that there was to be an immediate
union of the British and North American provinces,
and that delegates from Nova Scotia, New Bruns.:
wick, &c., were hurrying up to Toronto to take
the matter into consideration.

Military desertions bad become so prevalent (says
the Quebec Gazette) that the Commander-in-Chief
bad prevailed on the authorities to offer rewards
for the arrest of all delinquents, and to warn all
persons against employing them.
The commencement of the extension of the
Grand Trunk Railroad east of St. Thomas is an
nounced.

A person at Mal Bay (Gaspe) had advertised the
recovery of the mail which was on board the
wrecked steamer Clyde from some fishermen, who
had found it some miles from the wreck, but find-
ing no money in it had determined to destroy the
contents. Among the letters are bills to the amount
of 40,8051.
The Quebec timber•market showed no signs of
improvement, although there had been several
large sales ; vessels had arrived pretty numerously.
Freights.--To London, 355. ; to Liverpool, no-
thing doing, few being inclined to ship at any rate ;
to the Clyde, 295. to 30s.

AUSTRIA.

The Emperor of Austria arrived at Ischl en the
3d, to join the Empress, whe had reached that
place the previous day. Their Majesties will re-
main for a fortnight or three weeks if the weather
continues fine.

The Baroness de Prokesch-Osten, wife of the
Austrian internuncio at Constantinople has re-
turned to Vitnna from Ischl, and will, very
shortly, proceed to rejoin her husband in the
Turkish capital.
" The Austrian Government," says the Eman-
cipation of Brussels, " is quietly but actively aug-
menting its navy. Several ships of the line are
nearly terminated, and other smaller vessels are
being constructed. The fortifications of Venice,
Trieste, and particuiarly of Pola, already excite
the admiration of engineers, and when terminated
will be among the strongest in Europe. The flotilla
of the Danube is also to be shortly completed so as
to protect German commerce on that river."

that they would- have taken it away altogether.
Under any circumstances, they would not have
tiken the trouble to break open the lock when it
was actually unlocked. The murder of the old man
when asleep was most inconsistent with the suppo-
sition that it was the act of burglars. It was most
extraordinary that, the table in which there was so
much money, as well as deceased's clothes, in which
there was a shilling, had not been touched. It did
not seem likely that burglars would have delibe-
rately committed an act which would at once have
alarmed the whole house, and still less likely was it
that a man would have stood on the stairs after the
report of the gun. The other suggestion, the very
mention of which almost made one shudder, was
that the old man had been murdered by his son
James. This involved a charge of such a serious
nature that he (the coroner) deemed it his duty to
read over the whole of the evidence relating to it.
This he did at great length, commenting upon it as
he proceeded.
Shortly after half-past 9 o'clock the jury retired
to consider their verdict, and they returned after
au absence of about half an hour. Their names
having been called over, the Foreman (Mr. Charles
Marsfand) said, " We hnd James Henderson guilty
of the murder of his fat h er."
The Coroner inquired if they were unanimous in
their verdict, and the foreman replied that they were.
- The Coroner then issued his warrant for the com-
mittal of the prisoner, and the witnesses were bound
over to prosecute at the next Cheshire assizes.
The prisoner will lee brought before the magis-
trates at Stockport to-morrow (Thursday). Although
occasionally during the inquiry yesterday he exhi-
bited some nervous twitchings about his mouth, he
did not display any other symptoms of emotion, not
even when the most damaging parts of the evidence
were being given against him. He listened atten-
tively to the statements of the whole of the wit-
nesses; but appeared little if at all excited.

ITALY.

Count de Cavour gave a grand banquet on the
4th to Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, the new
French ambassador to the court of Turin. The
Piedmont eso ministers, the British and Prussian
ambassadors, and many other distinguished mem-
bars of the diplomatic body were among the
'guests.
The Diritto of Turin declares, on what it states
to be unquestionable authority, that the life-insu-
rance said to have bean concluded between Mazzini
and Advocate Brofferio is devoid of foundation as
regards the latter.
We learn from Florence that the Archduchess
Anne, the consort of the Hereditary Prince of
Tuscany, is also labouring under an attack of the
measles. According to the last accounts of the
3d, both this princess and the Grand Duchess were
progressing favourably.
A letter from Naples, in the Nord of Brussels,
states that the marriage of the Duke of Calabria,
eldest son of the King, with the Duchess Mary of
Bavaria is now defiui,tively decided on. It adds,
however, that the ceremony will not take place for
some time.

ter bad better help itself. The wit of a steamer,
which they ask of Government, for the. Zambesi,
what is. it to Manchester ? It might be made in
whole or in part to pay its own expences.; but if
not; what-would the whole cost be to the..gentle-
men in Manchester interested in opening Africa
for cotton growing and for trade generally. Liver-
pool also would join in all probability, but Man,-.
chester is well able to do the whole• thing herself;
We think she would do it far' better than •the
Government. As the object is a purely commer-
cial one, we should even say that if Manchester
be not ashamed to receive money from the State,
the management would be better in the hands of
her merchants and manufacturers, even if they
received a grant for the purpose. They are the
parties most interested ; the men sent out by them
would have the quickest eye for what was needed
by their employers ; and, of one thing we are
quite sure, that for the same amount of
expenditure the men of trade and commerce
would secure a vastly larger measure of the kind
of information first wanted, than Government
agents could do.
We strongly urge, however, on our Manchester
friends the taking on themselves all the cost and
all the honour of the expedition, which we fully
agree ought to follow at onca in the track of Dr.
LIVINGSTON. The readiness, indeed eagernew2,
of the chiefs for traffic, the exuberant fertility of
the district noith of 20 deg. south latitude ; the
immediate wants of the Manchester Cotton Mar-
ket ; and, not least, tho certainty that to lower
materially the price of cotton would be certain to
render slaves of little or no worth in America, and
to extinguish slavery there at no distant date ;
these considerations, not to mention the higher
ones specially interesting to the excellent mis-
sionary himself, and to all of us as Christians,
may well rouse Manchester to a task peculiarly
hers.

A PRIVATE ARRANGEMENT.

An application was made to his Honour to convert a
petition under the Private Arrangement Act into a
bankruptcy, it being agreed on all hands that that would
be the better course. The only question in dispute Was
as to the allowance to be granted.
His Honour asked the amount of debts and assets.
A gentleman, who said he was a creditor, replied that
the debts were about 25,000/., and the assets 2,000/.
His Honour said that the principle of the law was to
secure as much as possible for the creditors, but not to
let a man die cf hunger or live upon charity, and
there-
fore any person coming before the Court and stripping
himself of the whole of his property to benefit his cre
ditors, ought to be looked on with consideration. ge
would therefore grant an allowance, and supposing there
had been any misconduct, it could be cJmnsented on
when the bankrupts came up for their certificates.

IN RE TOWNSEND, M.P. FOR GREENWICH.
To-day was appointed for a choice of assignees in this

j ourned.

Country Markets.

LIVERPOOL—SEPT. 11.
There was a poor attendance at market to-day, and,
millers and dealers seemed indifferent as to purchasing
wheat, and were content to suit their wants to the extreme
prices of Tuesday. Flour was better in value than for
some time past. Indian corn declined 3d per qr., but the
article commanded a better sale. Oats were dull, and oat-
meal barely sustained Tuesday's prices. The weather •i 1
unsettled, and a lower barometer.

STRAND THEATRE.

It must have been a matter of surprise to most per-
sons that a subject so tempting, and at the same time so
popular, as the story of Verdi's " Traviata," should
have for so long a period escaped the notice of the bur-
lesque writers of the day, and the complete success
which attended the production of Mr. Leicester Buck-
ingham's excellent burie,,que at this theatre last Monday
proves abundantly the fitness of the story of the opera
for the purposes of travestie. The original plot has been
•
carefully adhered to, though the personages involved are
lowered to a much less exalted level in the social scale. The
leading situations are adinirab'y caricatured ; and the dia-
logue, whilei t displays none of the glaring licentiousness of
the Italian libetto, is fu'l of poiLt and humour, and
spat kles with puns in every line. T. e actors do the most
ample justice to their respective tables ; Mr. F.,CLarleo,
as Vile Letty, imparts to his personation an abundance of
grotesque fervor, and shines especially in the onessioned scenes ; Miss Craven plays Alfresco style
which could scarcely he surpasses by any actruss on thb
London boards, and sings some capital parodies on the
popular airs of the day with great taste and sweetness ;
Mr Clarke is full of broad humour as Doleful; an d Mr.
Howard, Miss Victor, and Mr. Bolton deserve their
full share of praise. The success of the burlesque was
complete, and the author was loudly called for at its
close.

A letter from Bucharest says that the Caimacan

allowed fur making objections to the electoral lists,
and that consequently the elections would be post-
poned for a like period.

A letter from St. Petersburg says:—" The new
Customs tariff' has thus far not had much influence
in preventing smuggling. That trade, though pun-
ished by transportation W Sib.ria, continues active
as ever, and as usual gives, rise to sharp conflicts be-
tween the- smugglers and • Custom- house officers.
And it can hardly be hoped that smuggling will yet
decline, for import duties are still so high that
the contraband dealers obtain a
.large profit.. The
establishment of telegraphic lines through the .13a1-

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
LIVERPOOL, SATVRDAY.

Captain Rogers, late of ship Martha and Jane,
who was at the last assizes found guilty of the murder
of one of his crew, named Andrew Rose, was publicly
eysruted this day in front of the county gaol at Kirk-
dale.

—Tile wife of the captain had her last interview with
the culprit yesterday. She was accompanied by three
of her children—the three oldest, two boys and a girl.
Rogers was a native of Sunderland, and about 35 years
of age. He was well known in Liverpool.
At an early hour this morning the chaplain of the
gaol, the Rev. Mr. Appleton, visited the wretched man
and remained with him until the arrival of the hour
Sxed for the execution. At a few minutes before 12 the
governor, Mr. Gibbs, with the other officials, entered the
cell, and the necessary preliminaries having been per-
formed, the convict was conducted to the scaffold, where
Calcraft, the London executioner, carried the sentence
of the law into effect.

There was an immense number of people present. The
usual ceremonies having been gone through, the bolt
was withdrawn and the unhappy man was launched into
eternity.

IN RE THE HON. SUSSEX LENNOX.

This insolvent (Lord Sussex Lennox) applied to
be discharged. Mr. Oliver, a tailor in Piccadily,
appeared to oppose.
Mr. Sargood supported.
An objection was taken to the opposition as the
debt was incurred for clothes, 4-7:!., in 1843, and
was consequently barred by the Statute of Limita-
tions.

Mr. Commissioner Murphy held that Mr. Oliver
could not oppose. Although a debt wai barred, an
insolvent was bound to insert the debt in his
schedule.

The debts in the schedule were 1,9361., and the
appearance was partly attributed to his connexion
with railway companies. He had an allowance of
1751. a year from his brother, the Duke of Rich-
mond.
The insolvent was discharged.
