a small yacht nulled the Mosquito, belonging to the
Birkenhead Model Yacht Club, was upset in the river
and foundered. She had about 12 cwt. of loose fire bars
for ballast. and, when beating up the river, with a south-
east wind, was struck by a sudden puff, and the ballast
shifting to leeward, she immediately filled and sank stern
foremast. She had on board at the time Mr. Jackson,
one of the owners, a boatman, and a lad. The two first
being good swimmers, supported themselves ; the boy
would have sunk but for an oar that floated from the boat.
After being in the water about ten minutes, they were all
picked up by two gigs from the Minesota. The Mosquito
has since been raised, and found to have sustained no in-

MESSRS. CHALLINOR AND FLEMING'S GREAT TIM-
BER SALE AT THE NORTH DOCKS.—The question whe-
ther, or not, the timber trade of Liverpool can be accom-
modated at the north docks is already decided, Messrs.
Challinor and Fleming, the well-known timber brokers
of this port, holding their second sale of timber on the
quay of the Huskisson-dock on Thursday next. The
accommodation provided for the trade is all that can be
wished, the quays affording every facility for cartage from
them at an economical rate, and the Lancashire and
Yorkshire, the East Lancashire, and the London and
North-western Railways, with the Leeds and Liverpool
Canal, being in close proximity to the dock. The timber
to be sold, we understand, is of the first quality : and a
portion of it in the sheds is agreed to be taken by the
London and North-western Railway Company, free of
either cartage or porterage, to buyers in the interior.

BREACH OF THE MERCANTILE MARINE ACT.—At the
Police-court. on Friday, Mr. Owen, solicitor, appeared
on behalf of Captain Peter Lythgow, of the ship Favour-
ite, at present at anchor in the Mersey, to prefer a charge
against Thomas Easdale, seaman, of wilful disobedience
to the lawful commands of the said captain. It appeared
that the prisoner had engaged in St. John's, N. 8., for the
voyage to Liverpool, as able seaman, and that, on the 27th
of July last, he refused, when ordered both by mate and
captain, to scrape the bulwarks ; also, on the 7th of Sept.,
when he was ordered to keep a strict watch for a boat
coming to the vessel, did not attend to the said order, but
fell asleep, thereby committing a breach of the Mercantile
Marine Act. In defence, the prisoner alleged that it was
unsafe to go outside the bulwarks, as the sea was rough
and the vessel rolling very much ; which was denied by
both the captain and the mate, who said it was quite safe,
and it was usual frr all the seamen to do it. Prisoner
denied that on the 7th instant he was ordered to keep
watch for the boat, as alleged by the captain. The ma-
gistrate said it was clear, even from his own statement,
that he was guilty, and ordered him to be imprisoned for
six weeks.

MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL AGRICULTURAL SO-
CIETY.—TIIO annual show of this society, which is now
held alternately at Manchester, Liverpool, and Warring-
ton, will be held this year at Liverpool, on the 23rd Sep-
tember. In consequence of prizes being given, for the
first time, for poultry, the show is likely to be the most
interesting one we have ever had in this town ; and, if the
day proves fine, will, no doubt, be numerously attended.
The poultry will be arranged in pens under cover, and
separated from the other live stock ; so that ladies wishing
to visit this department only, may conveniently do so.
Each member, or holder of a member's ticket, or ticket
purchased at the door, will have the privilege of intro-
ducing a lady free. In consequence of the loss which the
society sustained by the dinner at Manchester last year,
—there being 300 contracted for, and only 125 present,—
the committee have determined that the public dinner,
which has usually been held in the large room of Messrs.
Lucas's repository, shall this year be dispensed with : but
arrangements have been made for a private dinner at the
Adelphi Hotel, at which it is expected about 100 members
and their friends will be present. The special general
meeting of the members for awarding prizes for best cul-
tivated Farms, &c., will be at the Neptune Hotel, Clay-
ton-square, on the 16th inst.

TENTS AND BEDS FOR AUSTRALIA.—OUT readers
would observe that, a week ago, Mr. R. Lambert, of No.
13, Goree-piazzas, had leave granted to him to " pitch
his tents," intended for the diggings, on a portion of the
land belonging to the Dock Committee on the east side of
Salthouse Dock, It is worth the while of any of our
readers, and especially of intending emigrants, to visit
Mr. Lambert's depot. They may have there an idea of
the sort of housing which is to be had at the gold fields.
As tents, we can conceive nothing more complete than
those provided by Mr. Lambert. They are perfectly
impervious to rain ; and yet they possess the quality of
affording perfect ventilation in the hottest weather. Mr.
Lambert provides, besides tents, some of the most con-
venient iron bedsteads and hammocks suitable for the
digings, which we have yet noticed ; and the visitors to
his depot, who are very numerous, may see there the best
mode in which an Australian tent can be fitted up. On
Thursday next, we understand, he will be in a position to
exhibit a novel specimen of a gold washing cradle, in-
vented by an ingenious mechanic in this town, which,
from what we have seen of it, strikes us as being infi-
nitely superior to any yet produced.

A MARRIAGE PARTY IN TROUBLE. —On Monday
evening, a marriage party was returning from Blackburn
to Darwen, in order to consummate at the residence of
the bride and bridegroom the enjoyments of the wedding
day. The party, however, had been paying their Amin
as liberally at the shrine of Bacchus as at that of Hymen,
and when they reached the Darwen-street station of the
Blackburn railway they were in a state of considerable
" elevation," and were disposed to treat the railway offi-
cials as " high-menial " serfs, to whom no particular
respect was to be paid. Such was the violence of five of
the wedding party that the station master had to call in
the assistance of a police-constable to take the parties into
custody. They were, after considerable resistance,
lodged at the police-station for the night (the bridegroom
included), and were on Tuesday brought up before the
sitting magistrates, when it was proved that they had
grossly assaulted the railway officials, by kicking and
striking at them. One gentleman connected with the
railway had his clothes torn, and was kicked most severely.
The magistrates fined two of the prisoners 20s. and costs,
and the three others 10s. and costs, each of them, in de-
fault, to be imprisoned for one month. We have not
heard how the disconsolate females of the party accounted
for the absence of their partners on their return to Darwen.

DOING A SCOTCHMAN.—John Ward, described as a
" blackleg," was charged at the Police-court, on Friday,
with haying with two other persons not amenable, swindled
a Scotchman, named Mitchell, out of the sum of £l2.
The complainant stated that he had come from Glasgow
the purpose of engaging a passage to Australia for himself
and his better half; that he went on board the ship Con-
stance to examine the ship prior to engaging, and, having
engaged a double berth, and deposited £2O with thecaptain,
he was proceeding to the agent's to pay the remainder,
when he met two respectable.looking men, who told him
that they also had engaged berths in the Constance ; and,
after some conversation, asked him to go and see the
Sailors' Home, where they went. Haying to call at a
public-house on the way, Mitchell was introduced by his
two companions to the prisoner, who stated that he was a
Scotchman, and was also going in the same ship. The
two persons who accompanied him then commenced
playing at cards, the complainant occasionally netting
with the prisoner, who always bet with flash notes on the.
" Bank of Elegance," whiith, however, was at that time
unknown to the unsuspecting Scotchman. After they had
won all the money he possessed, they proposed to sepa-
rate, and were on the point of doing so when detective-
officer Grisenthwaite came up to them, and asked Mitchell
had he lost any money, when he answered that he had
not. However, on being told by the officer that he had
been in company with " blacklegs," the idea that he had
been "done" struck him, and he told the officer that he
had lost £lO. When searched one £5 Scotch note, three
£1 notes, also Scotch, one sovereign, 'one half-crown, and
one " Bank of Elegance" note was found on the prisoner.
It was urged in prisoner's defence that the other parties
were the guilty ones, as prisoner had not played at cards
at all ; but Mr. Gascoyne read the 109th section of the
Bth and 9th Victoria, which clearly brought the prisoner
under its provisions. Mitchell having stated his willing-
ness to delay his departure for Australia, if the agents
would return his deposits until some further investigation
should be made, the prisoner was remanded.
