DISGRACEFUL Or TRA GE.—On Sunday last some ruffians
effected an entrance into the church of Newtownlimavady,
Derry, and burned the Bible and Prayer-book, cut the
carpet in pieces, besmeared the walls which had been
recently painted, broke into the vestry and destroyed
everything there, and made an ineffectual attempt to get
into the organ loft, of course for the purpose of smashing
the instrument.—Sounders's News-Letter.
THUNDERSTORM IN DUBLIN.—On Tuesday, between
12 and 1 o'clock, Dublin was visited by a thunderstorm,
which lasted for upwards of half-an-hour, with scarcely
any intermission. It was followed by a heavy fall of rain
and hail. The flashes of lightning were extremely rapid
and brilliant. A man named White, residing in the
Liberty, and by trade a weaver, was struck dead by the
electric fluid.
BRUTAL ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—A railway "navvy,"
named Doran, is in Cavan gaol awaiting his trial for
having wantonly attempted to murder Mr. Henry, the
engineer of the Mullingar Railway, by hitting him on the
head with a pickaxe, and also behaving violently in the
police-station at Crossdoney, where he struck at a police-
man with a pair of tongs, and severely wounded the
servant girl. The only cause that can be assigned for this
ruffianism is, that the fellow had been drinking heavily for
ten days-previously.
DESTRUCTION or A CONVENT.—The Loretto Convent,
Dollymount, near Dublin, has been completely destroyed
by fire. The priest was in the act of celebrating mass
when some of the gauzy substance used in the decoration
of the altar became ignited, and in a very short space of
time the entire building was enveloped in flames. For a
considerable period the fire had full play over the valuable
structure, and when assistance did arrive it was of little or
no value. The building and furniture, which were valued
at £7,000, were completely destroyed.
DEATH OF WILLIAMS THE SCRIPTURE READER.—The
following is from the Cork Constitution:—Poor
the Scripture reader, beaten some months ago at Aghada,
died on Saturday at Milltown, county of Kerry, his
medical attendant (a Romanist) stating, as we are
informed, that he died of the injuries then received. With
what feelings the intelligence will be read by those who'se
consciences admonish them of the share they bore in the
assault, we know not ; but the man is dead—dead in con-
sequence, it is medically stated, of the cruelties inflicted by
their hands or at their instigation ; and if they deem
killing him a "service to God," if they like, they may exult
over the success of the means which they employed 'to
accomplish it.

THE WRECK OP THE STEAMER OLINDA., which was
tost during the last winter, near Holyhead, has been pur-
chased by Mr. James Levingston, of this town, for a sum
of £1,390, namely, the hull for £625, and the brasses,
copper, and machinery for £765. The hull will be taken
up piecemeal, but it is expected that the machinery will
suffer very little damage.
ISLE or MAN.—In furtherance of a movement which
has been got up in the Isle of Man, to secure a harbour of
refuge, and to adopt means to prevent government from
unconstitutionally appropriating any portion of the
revenue of the island for the liquidation of the expenses of
collection, a meeting has been held at Douglas ; and
Messrs. Moore and Aikin, of Liverpool, have been ap-
pointed a deputation to proceed to London to represent
the matter to government.
How THE CHARTIST SIR TOY ERSKINE PERRY WOULD
MAZE HIS PEACE WITH THE INSULTED "PETTY" VOTERS.
—The morning after the dinner at which the over-elated
member for Devonport cleared off the premises of his
friends, by which his election was won, and when his
Dutch independence had evaporated, he was seen to make
his way to the office of the master shipwright, who never
meddles with politics, and paraded round the yard with
this officer, bestowing outwardly his smiles, and, it might
be readily supposed, inwardly his curses, on • those whose
numbers made him thus swallow the leek.—Plymouth
Mail.
UNFOUNDED ACCUSATION.—On Tuesday, a young man,
named Daniel Brannan, was brought up at the Police-
court, on remand, charged with the theft of some rice
bags, which he was seen carrying. When taken into
custody, he averred that he had bought the bags, although
he did not know the name of the party from whom they
were bought. The police-officer, 776, who apprehended
Brannan, refused to accompany the accused to the spot
where the alleged purchase took place, but lodged him
in bridewell in spite of his remonstrances. At the re-
manded hearing, the party who had sold Brannan the
bags appeared, and testified to his having honestly acquired
the property-, and prisoner was immediately discharged.
Mr. Sands, the magistrate, suspended the officer, observing
that he had acted very wrong in not complying with the
prisoner's request by accompanying him, in order that he
might find the person from whom he said he had pur-
chased the bags. Mr. Clough reminded the magistrate
that the officer had not been long in the force, and that
if he had acted improperly, it was evidently from a desire
to do his duty. It frequently happened that when a pri-
soner wished an officer to accompany him, as in this case,
and the officer complied, a rescue was effected. He hoped
the megistrate would reprimand him instead of suspending
him. The magistrate said he would suspend the officer
for else (ley only. He did not wish to discourage a zealous
officer ; but, in this case, he thought a great want of judg-
ment had been displayed.
LIVERPOOL CUSTOMS ESTABLISHMENT.—Estimates of
the sums, required to defray the expenses of the several
departments engaged in the collection and management
of the public revenue of the United Kingdom for the year
ending the 31st of March, 1855, have been printed by
order of the House of Commons. The departments com-
prised in the document are customs, inland revenue, and
postoffice. The charges in connexion with these have
hitherto been defrayed out of the revenue, in its progress
to the exchequer. A new act of parliament provides for
the payment of the gross revenue into the exchequer ; and
annual estimates will henceforward be submitted for the
charges of management, in the form now for the first time
laid before parliament. The salaries of and allowances to
the officers on the customs establishment of this port are
stated in detail, with the pay of extra and glut officers,
and incidental charges. The total of the estimated ex-
penses of the establishment for the year 1854-5 is £111,409,
of which the sum of £94,409 is particulars sries alone. This
sum is made up of the following :—Collector's
salary, £2,200 ; comptroller, £7OO ; long-room clerks, SO
in number (the principal clerk having a salary of £500),
£5,580 ; warehousing department, 53 officers, £7,770
inspector-general of the out-door department, £6OO ; nine
lauding-surveyors, £4,150 ; 85 searchers and landing-
waiters, £19,800 ; gaugers' department, 15 officers, 43,22 ;
two timber measurers, £270 ; seven messengers, £420 ;
21. superintendent lockers and re-dipping officers, £5,768 ;
140 lockers, £11,455 ; 100 weighers, £6,500 ; two in-
spectors of the river, £615 ; 23 tide surveyors, £3,875 ;
18 inspectors of patrol; £1,700; 240 tidewaiters and patrol,
£19,595 ; 65 boatmen, £3,945 ; Runcorn, two officers,
£l6l ; Garston, one ditto, £6O. The entire number of
officers is 819. In addition to the salaries of these officers
the following items of estimated xpenditure are put
down :—Pay to extra and glut officers, and provision for
special services, and for any increase of business, £7,500 ,
travelling charges, £12.0 ; rents and repairs of buildings
£Bl6 ; rent of warehouse for the deposit of tobacco in
bond, £6,484 ; rates, taxes, and insurance, £l3O ; fuel and
light, £350 ; postage, £BO ; purchase and repair of boats,
including stores, £BO ; tradesmen's bills, £6OO ; miseel-
laneoes expenses, £B4O. These items, with the salaries,
amount to £111,409, the total aggregate expenditure. It
is stated, in a note appended to the return, that by the
provisions of the law
posit of
is required to pro.vide a
warehouse for the deposit of tobacco under bond. The
rent on tobacco so warehoused in Liverpool amounts to
about £1,200 per annum, and is brought to account as
customs revenue.
IMPORTANT TO SHIPOWNERS.--In the Court of Queen'a
Bench, on Friday. Lord Campbell grave judgme
case of Brown v. Byrne. • He said the question for decision
was whether an action by a shipowner against the in-
was
of a bill of lading, to whom goods had been delivered
at Liverpool, and who has accepted them, the bill of lading
making them deliverable, "he paying freight for them
five-eighths of a penny per pound, with -five per cent.
primage and average accustomed," the latter may lawfully
claim to retain for £l3B lls. 3d., the amount
oof the
that byfreiht
at the rate specified, £1 16s 3d. ; on the grund
the custom of Liverpool, he is entitled to a deduction of
three months' discount from the freight. It is admitted
that the custom exists, in fact, in regard of shipments
from New Orleans and some other ports in the southern
states of the American Union to Liverpool ; but it is
objected to as bad in law, because it is inconsistent with
the written document, the bill of lading. Five-eighths of
a penny on the weight of the cargo is, it is said, equal to
£l3B lls. 3d., the bill must be read as if that sum were
specified in it, and the custom, if allowed, will change it to
£136 15s. The principles on which this case is to be
decided are perfectly clear ; the difficulty lies in the appli- •
cation of them to the facts. Mercantile contracts are very
commonly framed in a language peculiar to merchants ;
the intention of the parties, though perfectly well known
to themselves, would often be defeated if this language
were strictly construed according' to its ordin import
in the world at -lqge ; evidence, therefore, of m ary
ercantile
custom and usage is admitted in order to eound
as to
it and
arrive at its true meaning. Again, in all contracts
the subject matter in which known usages prevail, parties
are found to proceed with tbe tacit assumption of these
usans • they commonly reduce into writing the special
particulars of their agreement, but omit to specify these
known usages, which are included, however, as of coarse
by mutual understanding ; evidence, therefore, of such
incidents is receivable. The contract, in truth, is partly
express and in writing, partly implied or understood and
unwritten. But in both these cases a restriction is
established on the soundest principle ; but the evidence
received must not be of a particularrepugnant
to, or inconsistent with, the written contract. Merely
that it varies the apparent contract is not
ater
enough to ex-
clude -
the evidence, for it is impossible to add any i
incident to the written terms of a contract without alter-
ing its.effect more or less ; neither in the construction of
a contract among merchants, tradesmen, or others, will the
evidence be excluded, because the words are in their ordi-
nary meaning ambiguous, for the principle of admission
is, that words perfectly unambiguous in their ordinary
meaning are used by the contractors in a different sense
from that. The written contract expressly settles the rate
of payment; the custom does not set this aside, indeed it
adopts it, as that upon which it is to act, by establishing
a claim for allowance of discount upon freight to be paid
after that rate. The consignee undertakes to pay freight
on delivery after that rate ; the shipowner undertakes to
allow three months discount on freight paid after that
rate ; the, latter contract is dependent on the former, but
is not repugnant to it. If the bill of lading had expressed,
or if from the language of it the intention of the parties
could have been collected that the freight, at the specified
rate, should be paid free from all deductions customary
or otherwise, then it would

EXTRAORDINARY SCENII.—A rather laughable occur-
rence took place at the merchants' dining-rooms, Market-
street, Manchester, on Friday afternoon. The rooms were
quite filled with gentlemen. Suddenly the safety valve of
the boiler began to blow off, and the steam, in its escape,
made a tremendous roar. The company were much
alarmed. Many ran to the front door, others, endeavour-
hag to effect their escape, dashed through the windows
and got into the streets, here and there the waiters were
screaming, some fainting, and altogether it was a most
alarming scene. Many in their frantic endeavours to
escape jumped upon and destroyed the. tables, hat rails,
brass rods, and plates. Ultimately the alarm subsided,

and the company- returned to the rooms, some of theM
with their hands and faces covered with blood, caused by
the broken windows, others with their hats broken, &c.
Fortunately no one was seriously hurt. The over pressure
of the steam was caused by one of the boys in Messrs.
Nowell's employ having neglected to ease it off gradually.
—Manchester Courier.
FLOOD AT ARDWICIC.—BURSTING OP A WATER MAIN.
—On Friday morning, about half-past five o'clock, a water
main burst in Downing-street, Ardwick, which completely
inundated the street, and caused considerable damage.
The pipes of the Corporation Waterworks laid down in
the street are two feet in diameter, of cast-iron. About
half-past five o'clock, one of the lengths of piping burst,
in consequence of the pressure upon it, and forced a piece
out about three feet wide and two feet long. The water
soon found its way to the surface, and poured forth in a
volume, covering the wbole width of the street like a river.
The water entered the cellars of the Royal Oak, and filled
them to a depth of four feet. All the barrels in the ale-cellar
were washed off the stillages, and the contents of those on
tap lost, and, in the spirit-cellar, 24 gallons of rum were
lost. There was in the cellar a 0-inch pipe communicating
with the river Medlock, which runs close by, but this was
plugged up, otherwise it would have proved of considerable
service. Mr. Wynn, who keeps the King's Arms, imme-
diately opposite to the Royal Oak, had his cellars filled
to a depth of six feet. All his barrels were washed off the
stillages, and the water knocked down a wall and washed
out a window. On one side of Ardwick-bridge, nearly
opposite the end of Tipping-street, some time ago a large
grid leading into the river was constructed apparently in
anticipation of some accident of the description that has
occurred ; but for a considerable time past the scavengers
have been in the habit of brushing mud through it into
the river, until it became positively choked up. Had not
this been the case, it would have answered its purpose in
carrying off the water, and probably have saved much
damage.—Manchester Courier.
OVERCROWDING OF STEAMERS. Mr. Nichols, the
proprietor of the Eastham ferry, was summoned before
Mr. Mansfield, on Friday, for having committed a breach
of the Passenger act, in allowing one of his ferry-boats,
which sailed from Eastham to Liverpool on Good Friday,
to carry 626 passengers, being an excess of 198 over the
number allowed by the certificate from the Board of Trade.
As soon as the defendant was aware that the boat had got
nearly her full complement of passengers on board, he gave
orders that no one else should be allowed to pass the pay-
gate. The order was strictly obeyed, but the excursionists
were so anxious to get back to Liverpool, that being the
latest boat, that they climbed over the rocks, and over a
high wall, and made their way on to the boat, in spite of
all that could be done to prevent them. Mr. Mansfield,
iu imposing the lowest possible penalty of is. and costs,
and ss. for each passenger in excess of the allowed number,
observed that he had no doubt that there would. be a con-
siderable mitigation of the penalty incurred, if the facts of
the case were presented before the Board of Trade.
CONSIDERATE BENEVOLENCE.—We are informed that
a benevolent lady in this town, from a consideration of the
vast increase in the price of provisions, and all other
necessaries, has generously sent a donation to the Blue
Coat Hospital and other charitable institutions, feeling
convinced of the great additional expense which must
necessarily be incurred during the present year. We shall
be happy to hear of similar donations, which could not be
more seasonably offered than at the present time.

Mr. Gordon Munro has purchased Defiance from Mr. T.

Lord Eglinton has named his f by Orlando out of

Mr. R. E. Cooper refused, during the last winter, the
very large sum of 10,000 guineas for Autocrat, who was
then first favourite for the Derby.
Mr. John Henderson, of this town, hai advertised for
sale his steeple chase horses Comeaway, Crabbs, Kaffir,
Labyrinth, Augean, and Springy Jack.
Baron Rothschild was the winner of a large sum on the
Oaks, having backed Mincemeat from the confidence he
always has in John Charlton, who rode her.
The principal winners on the Derby are Sir Joseph
Hawley, Mr. Gully, Mr. Hill, Mr. Arnold, Mr. Padwick,
and other parties connected with John Day's stable.
lord Orford's two I•ear olds Afikhan, Icarus, Firelight,
and a filly by John 0 Gaunt, have arrived at W. Arnuli's
stables, Newmarket, to be trained for their engagements.
Mincemeat, the whiner of the Oaks, is by Sweetmeat,
out of Hybla, by The Provost, and was bred by Mr. Cook-
son, her owner. She ran three times last year, without ,
showing any indications of being a first-class racer, Ando-
ver having beat her at Goodwood by a length and a half.
Immediately after the race for the Derby, Mr. Gully,
the owner of Andover, plentifully supplied with cham-
pagne the jockeys who rode in the race. At Stockbridge
(where the horse was trained) and all the adjacent villages
there were great rejoicings, and the inhabitants were
regaled in the same liberal manner as in the years when
Cossack and Pyrrhus the First were the winners.
Manchester races take place to-morrow and the two
following days. The increasing popularity of this meet-
ing, from the larger and better class of horses entered for
the various staks, is quickly raising it to the rank of a
first-rate place of sport. The, large bonuses given to the
stakes, cannot fail to insure large fields of horses for each
contest; and the immense population of the surrounding
district always render that support which makes the ma-
nagement profitable. •
Andover, the winner of the Derby, was bred by Wm.
Etwall, Esq., of Longstock, near Andover, and was sold
to Mr. Gully, when a yearling, with contingencies relative
to his engagements. He is a bay horse, standing about
151 hands high, with a blood-like handsome • head ; good
neck, which he carries low ; splendid shoulders, and great
depth of girth; not over large barrel (which is somewhat
straight) and somewhat light in his back ribs; short from
hock and knee to the ground ; good bone, very lengthy
and low ; and a remarkably racing-looking nag ; the off
hind fetlock joint is' white. He ran four times last year, ,
and was thrice successful.
Lord Spencer's yearlings were sold by Messrs. Tatter-
Sall, on the 20th ult., and realised the following sums :
Brother to Stilton, 200 gs. ; b c by Cotherstone, out of
Polydora, 140 gs.; br c by Gameboy, Out•of The Lady of
Silverkeld Well, 100 ,gs. ; ro f by Birdcatcher, out of The
