LATEST NEWS.

AMERICA.
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING.

-The United States Mail steam ship Columbia bas
al rived, with advices from New York to the 6th

in stant.

She has brought $350,000 specie on freight.
The s:?.rew steam ship New York, from Glasgow,
and the steam ship Washington, from Bremen and
Southampton, bad arrived at New York.
The New York Herald states that Lord Claren-
don, in a letter referring to the claim of a Mr.
Lawless, a merchant of Granada, has abandoned
the doctrine that " once a subject always a subjectl''
and that his allegiance had been forfeited by be-
coming a citizens of the United States.

The electio❑ riot at Washington has passed over,
and an indignation meeting, condemnatory of the
proceedings of the Mayor, had been held.

Advices from Havannah report considerable spe-
culation in sugar ; prices unchanged. Freights dull.
The Washington correspondent of the Herald
writes that the President has fixed upon a Governor
for Utah, and that the nominee has indicated h'ls
readiness to accept ;no name is given. It is said
that the policy to be pursued is for the Governor,
after reaching Utah, to issue a proclamation that
such persons residing in the territory, male or
female, as desire to return to the States shall re-
ceive protection and necessary assistance from the
Government.

Tho steam-ship Louisiana had been burnt in
Galveston Bay, and 11 persons lost. Colonel Bain-
bridge, of the army, and 31 others, were missing.
The mails and an amount of-specie were lost.
Lord Napier had received no intimation of the
cession of an island at Panama to England.
At New York inactivity of general trade, de-
pression of stocks, and accumulating supplies of
capital in the principal centres, were the leading
characteristics of the times. There seemed to be a
general indisposition to embark in new enterprises,
or to engage in extensive speculations. There
was more money offering at the discount house°
than there was call for, and prime paper was scarce
and much wanted at 7 to 8 per cent. for 60 and 90
days.
The transactions in ootton had been light, and
the turn was in favour of buyers.
Flour and meal were without material variation.
Wheat was buoyar.t, owing to light receipts.

Iron continued dull. Tobacco was in good cl°-
mand. Freights remained quiet and without jilt'
portant change. Exchange unaltered.

The screw steam-ship Anglo-Saxon has also ar•
rived with advices from Quebec to the 6th inst.
She has brought $2,808 specie on freight.
On the 15th inst. the Anglo-Saxon passed the
Royal Mail steam-ship Persia in lat. 55 10 X',
Tom,. 18 15 W., hence for New York.
The screw steam-ship Arcadian, which was oil
shore near Quebec, was expected to be got off on
the 6th inst.

counts of all receipts and disbursements by the cor-
poration for preserving and maintaining the port

SUNDAY SHAVING.—Some tiu►e since twenty of the
twenty-two of the Rochdale barbers memorialised the
bench of justices to put down the Sunday shaving at
Rochdale. The two non•contents have, however, per-
petuated the practice, and one of them (William Hol-
den) was for this convicted on Wednesday at the police-
cuurt. By his solicitor (Mr. Holland) he expressed a
wish for a magisterial intimation adverse to the practice,
and, this being given, he promised to co-operate in
the anti-Sunday shaving movement, thereby averting a
couviction.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —An Extraordinary Cure of Diarr-
hcea by Holloway's Pills.—Rebecca Price, late warper
in a factory at Gorton, !lest. Manchester, suffered se.
verely from violent griping, vomiting, and occasional
purging ; for a long period she was under several of the
medical faculty and pronounced incurable. At last she
was recommended to use Holloway's Pills, which cured
her in a few days, after all other means failed. This
astounding cure bas excited the wonder of all who knew
her, the more especially as she had become so attenuated
as to be scarcely recognisable by her most intimate
friends.—Sold by all medicine vendors throughout the

IN RE ROBSON.

A. warrant having been issued on the 13th inst for the
arrest of Mr. E. T. Smith, in consequence of his non-
attendance on that day, an application was this day
made by Mr. Sturgeon, fur the revocation of that warrant.
The apprehension was supported by an affidavit made
by Mr. Lare, the colic tor for Mr. Bmitb, to the effeet
hat the non-appearance of Mr. Smith was entirely
owing to his (Mr. Lane's) mistake. The fact
being that he bad informed ' his client that the
day apppointed for his attendance was Monday, the
15th inst., whereas it should have been Saturday the
13th. The affidnvir, moreover, states that Mr. Smith
was ready to attend, and that :Mr. Lane took up, n
himself the whole blame. The application was granted,
whereupon Mr. Smith appeared in court, and banded in
his account with the bankrupt, and Tuesday, the 30th
of June inst., was appointed for Mr. Smith's examina-
tion upon the details thereof.

LAW INTE,

jthis Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Westminster, before Mr. Justice
Wightman and a Special Jury.)
AMBLER V ROCK.
•

TH3 was an action of ejectment to recover possession
of a house and grounds situate in Black-stock-lane,
Highbcry. The plaintiff claimed the property as the
heir-at-law of a person named, Benjamin Ambler, who
carried On business with his brother as a potatne sales
man in Nevvgate-market,- and died possessed of 100,000/.
The defendant lived with the deceased and his brother
as porter, and on the death of the brot her, Mr. B.
Ambler, the testator, retired from business, and the de-
fendant went with him to reside as his groom. Whilst
there the defendant married Julia Wool, servant to Mrs.
Stbblett, a relative who resided with• the testator. The
marriage was kept secret.until the defendant's wife was
in the tamily-way, when the testator was Wormed of it.,
and he causal a house t-.) be prepared fOr them in Der-
hatne-treet, Hackney, near where he then resided, and
there Jelin Rock, son of the defendant, was born. Thi-
boy wee a great favourite of the t, stator's; who made his
will in his favour and that of defendant's other children,
and it was under that will that the defendant claimed
the property in question. The question in dispute was
the validity of the- will. T:ie Ecclesiastical Court was
petitioned to set the will aside, anti proceedings were at.
the Fame time instituted in the Court of Chancery
ft r the appointment of a receiver pendente
lite. The decree of the Ecclesiastical Court was in
favour of the validity of the will, on which avplication
was made to the Lords Justices, who dismissed the order
of the Vice-Chancellor for the appointment of a receiver.
The testator appeared to have been a man of strange
temper. A few years before his death be wished to
marry a Miss Windburst, but the family ot.jected, pro-
bably from pecuniary motives, and the result was that
some time after he met a female on London-bridge,
whom he took home with him, lived with her for a few
weeks, and then married her. The result of the mar-
riage was continual disagreements between teem, and
so annoyed was the testator with his wife's conduct that .
he did not mention her in his will made previous to her
death. The case rested in a great Measure on the que,-
,tion of the incompetence of the testator to make a will,
and undue influence.

The cote bad not concluded when our despatch left.

PROFESSOR ANDERSON.

Thu, celebrated conjuror, better known as the " Great
Wizard of the North," on Monday night made his re-
appearance before a metropolitan audience at the Stan-
dart Theatre, and went through his magical drams,
which he entitles, " A Night in Wonder World ; or,
Magic, Mirth, and Mystery." It c Anprises 15 acts,
and is divided into two parts. We are happy to state
the Professor's hand is as lithe and quick as ever ;
his machinery works as marvellously as ever, and his
magical power seems in no way impaired, but on the
contrary increased. He still perplexes us by produ-
cing a flock of pigeons, when we expected
poursteda a
box

handkerchiefs ; he has still a bottle
champagne and Epsom salts, ink and sherry, and
which seems inexhaustible. He still makes two im-
mense plum-puddings in a hat, and washes a bonnet,
and yet returns each to its owner unharmed ; and his
bell, his table, and his automaton continue to answer
most recondite questions. He has also added a mag-
netic trick, by whieb his little pretty son of seven years
pulls to the ground several of the strongest men succes-
sively.
Tne audience, which was numerous, were highly de-

acts are contrived so as to produce a comic result. Thus,
when the lady's fortune is told, we are amused at the
facts, and everybody but the possessor is delighted when
they see the bonnet crushed and the hat made a sauce-
pan of. Every one who wishes to see the very chief of
conjurers will take the opportunity of visiting the
Standard Theatre.
It would be unjust not to mention a brief entertain-
ment
by Mr. J. G. Ford, which fills up the time between

a long-winded lawyeirnawnhdicah avevreyry intricatecle ye clever indication

with a vein of light comic humour that renders him very
popular, and might, we should suppose, make
him, with
practice, a very
efficient light comedian. He
is young,
and has much talent, so that we may expect to meet hits
,ain in a more elaborate performance.

The following letter posted at Lloyd's having re-

of the stations of the Eastern Archipelago Com-

trading in the Chinese seas :
"TO WILLIAM CONTHARD, ESQ., ACTING SUPERINTEN.

DENT EASTERN ARCHIPELAGO COMPANY. "
Pert Raffiss, Labuan, March 12, 1857.
"Sir,—The facilities for entering and loadiug at Mo-
arro, on the mainland of Borneo, not being generally
known, I beg to state, for the interst of whom it may
concern, that I consider it a safe and most convenient
harbour, and _ that the British barque Alliance, under
my command, loaded two cargoes of coal in aucces,ion at
that place. My ves=el drew 17 feet, and came over the
bar with the greatest ease, and could have done so had
she drawn 18 or 19 feet.

"Tbe bar extends only two cables length, and has a
soft muddy bottom. A full ship taking the bar for a
tide could not do herself any po,sible injury. The har-
bour is quite land-locked, so that the water is always
smooth. The facilities are complete for loading ships,
the coal being tipped through a shoot at the end of the
jetty int,) the hold. Depth of water at the end of jetty
4 fathoms.

"I am, sir, your most obedient servant,
(Signed) " War. MASON,
Commander of the barque Alliance."

day, Mr. Theo. Dupuis was charged with ex-ircising
undue severity towards George James Moule, 12 years
of age, one of the scholars, by cruelly beating hi,n on
the back, loins, and thighs with a cane. The trial lasted
a considerable time. A verdict of not guilty was re-
turned.

THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.—A meeting of
this society took place at the Star Hotel, Maidstone, on
Monday. One of the most recent pnrcha,es of the

estate, and three of them (in commemoration of the
recent Conservative victory in Maidstone) are to be
named Becesford-street, Hope-street, and Scott-street.
A church is also to be erected on the estate, and the site
and a handsome donation have already been presented to
the society. Viscount Ingestre, M.P., Rev. D. Worth-
ington, R. Winstanley, E,q., C. E. Lewis, Eq., and
G. Morgan, Esq., attended as a deputation from the
society. D. Stratton, Etq., took the chair. Lord In-
gestre and Mr. Lewis explained the principles and ob-
jects

nature of the Maidstone estate ; and the proceedings
terminated with a vote of thanks to the deputation.

had given the subject his serious attention during the
past two } ears, and from having served both on
the Sebastopol Committee and the CLelsen. CornmisAon,
he had bad an epportunity of becoming thoroughly ac-

that the main causes et the suffering, &c., in the Crimea
were owing to a want of proper organisation. He called
attonti Oa to the subject in proper reelleg and sympathy
towards the various departments of the army, from a
belief shit if they realiy knew what their duties were,
