'Witt Clinton :

" We, the undersigned, on behalf of our felloiv-passengers,
feel it incumbent on us to express our gratitude, for the un-

ceasing kindness and attention we nave receivea as your nanus,
and more especially for your' humane and considerate treat-
ment of the females and children while under your carc on the
voyage from Liverpool to New York. We desire to express
our acknowledgments of the order and regularity maintained
on board your noble ship, and the efficient means taken to pre-
serve comfort and cleanliness during the passage, while the
gentlemanly conduct of the officers and ship's company are
deserving of our warmest thanks. _ .

" We earnestly trust that you may long live to enjoy the hig
reputation you have so richly earned, and transmit your ran:
with lustre to a large circle of descendants." _ _

On Monday morning week the south end of Clarence
Dock-quay was literally strewed with dead cattle, lauded
from the screw-steamer Albatross, which left Dublin en
Saturday week. On the passage the vessel careened over,
the cattle fell to the leeside, and numbers were smothered,

several of which were stowed in the hold of the vessel
to make ballast and right her. In order to get the ves-
sel upright, it was found necessary to open the gangways,
and throw overboard the beasts that were on deck, toge-
ther with a large number of pigs and casks of provisions.
It is said that the vessel WEIS at one time in great danger.
We regret to add there is a report that three or four of
the passengers are missing. One man thinking the vessel
was sinking, actually jumped overboard and was drowned.
The paddle-steamers that left Dublin the same day landed
their cargoes of live stock all -

from its high

)rice, was deemed a luxury in a residence.

Its now trivial value has made it a necessary in even the
habitations of the humbler classes. With the increased
demand increased excellence in chandeliers and other fit-
tings has been most observable. The skill of the artizan

heavy and uncouth-looking pendents have been sup-
planted • with articles of taste and vertu. The stiff
branches are now turned round with foliage of ele-
gantly light ormolu, emerald, and bronze. while
the burners are encompassed and ;ornamented with
semi-opaque glasses moulded to the form of the graceful
water-lily. The modern designs are free from all stiff-
ness in character, though in every variety of pattern. In
Mr. Allen's show-room in Parker•street, there arc many
rich in figure, a glance at which will establish the fact that
artistic taste is encouraged. _ • .

LIVERPOOL AND TRH E A ST.—The Peninsular and Ori-
ental Company's new steamers Singapore and Ganges are
getting ready for sea in Glasgow. The former vessel, it
is expected, will leave the Clyde about the 10th December
for Liverpool, and the Ganges about the 10th of January
for the same port, where both vessels are to load for Gib-
raltar. Malta, and Constantinople, for which ports they
are intended to depart respectively on the 29th December
and the following month. Both the Singapore and Ganges
are, however, to return to Southampton, the object of
their taking cargo in the Mersey being to save the land-
carriage, and to avoid a useless run from Scotland to
Southampton. It is not the intention of the company to
continue despatching ships from Liverpool, and the two
departures in question are only a matter of temporary
convenience. The new ships are very fast, and will pro-
bably perform the Constantinople voyages in a quicker
space of time than has yet been accomplished. —,Times.

SECOND CONCERT OF CHAMBER CLASSICAL i.
To the pure and disinterested love of t'
and Mr. Haddock, the real ama

ever be indebted tor this
most brilliant gems in the musical galaxy. The recent
performance, in addition to morceaux from names high in
fame, gave us a charming trio for pianoforte, violin, ard
violoncello, the production of a highly-gifted artist, M.
Silas, an indubitable evidence of his rapid approxima-
tion to the first grade of composition. Its rendering was
worthy of its conception ; and M. Silas, himself eminent
upon his instrument, must have felt his design, both of
expression and execution, carried out to the utmost of his
imaginings by the exquisite feeling and splendour of ma-
nipulative power transfused into the performance by Mrs.
Beale. M. Silas, though professedly a pianist, has ob-
viously an intimate knowledge of the peculiar powers and
the treatment of stringed instruments. We never recol-
lect hearing the real character of the violoncello more fa-
vourably displayed than upon this occasion, and, in jus-
tice to Mr. Haddock we must record his perfect sympa-
thy with both the spirit and the letter of the work. The
earnest expression of delight obvious in every hearer, no
less than the repeated and continued plaudits during and at
the close of the performance, could not but be gratifying
to the talented young composer (whom we noticed in the
room), and must impress him, beyond doubt, with the
high opinion of the work entertained by all present. We
were agreeably surprised by the development of Mr.
Baetten's powers as a violinist, and congratulate the
lovers of the instrument and the musical community in
general, upon the acquisition of so accomplished Q -
former, who as the principal viola of these concerts,
well as the Philharmonic, has from his first appearance
excited universal admiration by the elegance of his style;and
beauty of his tone. The second part gave us Beethoven's
quartette in E flat, from Opera 16, which gave another
occasion for Mrs. Beale to demonstrate powers of execu-
tion and refinement of feeling in full accordance with the
pouring forth of the most gifted son of musical inspiration
of the current century. This was followed by a quartette,
stringed instruments, by a name only second to the above,
the lamented Mendelssohn ; and when we state the late-
ness of the hour alone precluded compliance with the
loud and general wish for repetition of no less than two
of the movements, it is unnecessary to say how they per-
formed.

_____y afterwards he received a blow from a poser, or an
iron bar, just behind the left temple. He was knocked
down ; and, while lying on the ground, some one at-
tempted to strike him with an iron bar, which, as he at-
nd the old pillar lights, as well as the tempted to ward the Wow, inflicted a serious wound on

his left wrist.
3. Edward Rowlands, (155, Liverpool.) A severe cut
on the right eye with a stick.
4. Thomas Greenbank, (160, Liverpool.) Struck on
the shoulder with a stick. Cut on the right ear, and had
severe injury done to his jaw-bone.
5. William Dakin, (712, Liverpool.) A severe blow
from a large stone on the right shoulder. A slight frac-
ture has taken place; but it is hoped no very serious in-
jury has been done.
6. James Bowles, (387, Liverpool.) Head cut severely ;
and very much injured by a blow on the shoulder from a
stick. _ . _

0.
7. Thomas Wilson, (164, Liverpool.) Knocked down,
kicked, and jumped upon by several people.
8. Thomas Coe, (358, Liverpool.) Severely "at on the
head by blows from a stick and stones.
9. Thomas, (379, Liverpool.) Severely struck and
bruised about the head and other parts of his body.
10. Price, (357, Liverpool.) Severely injured about
the head.
11. John Morris, (Birkenhead police.) Arm smashed
by a poker or iron bar, and much bruised and beaten on
other parts of his body.
15. Inspector Birnie, (Birkenhead police.) Seriously
injured about the head.
13. —, (No. 57, Birkenhead force.) Much hurt.
14. John Grimley. (469, Liverpool.) Sustained most
alarming injuries. He received a very severe blow on the
skull from some blunt-pointed instrument, by which it
was laid open for a width of nearly two inches. Concus-
sion of the brain, it was feared, would ensue; and, from
the hasty inspection the medical gentlemen were enabled
to make, it was supposed that the parietal bone had been
fractured. The wound was dressed ; and at first it was
supposed that the poor fellow was killed : all sensation
appeared to have left him, and there was not the least
sign of vitality. Soon after he was taken into the Town-
hall, however, faint symptoms of returning life became
visible, and the application of brandy and water soon
restored him to partial consciousness, and the operation
of dressing his injuries was proceeded with.
15. Thomas Kelly. (571, Liverpool.) Seriously injured.
During the first skirmish, some of the rioters were
slightly injured. Three of them were either taken or
went of their own accord to the shop of Mr. Warry, by
whom their wounds were dressed. The names of neither

of the men are known.
Shortly before the grand melee commenced, a number
of the mob went to some houses at the corner of Market-
street, and deliberately pulled up the iron rails in their
front, returning with these savage weapons to the scene of
the outrage, and using them to level every one who
attempted to oppose their progress. Many of the police-
men were struck with such weapons, which inflicted
wounds of a most dreadful character.
About half-past twelve, a large detachment of police,
under the direction of Mr. Dowling, arrived from Liver-
pool, making the total force then present, both local and
strangers, about two hundred and fifty, the greater por-
tion of whom were located in the Town-hall ; some being
arranged in front of that building, and others scattered
(some in plain clothes) in different parts of the town.
Much surprise has been excited as to where the nume-
rous stones, brickbats, &c., employed in the demolition
of the windows of the Town-hall could be obtained, there
being none lying loose in the street, or in the neighbour-
hood. This, however, is explained, if the statement we
have heard be correct. It is said that early in the fore-
noon a number of donkeys, having panniers suspended
over their backs, were brought into requisition to convey
stones, brickbats, and other missiles, to the scene of
action, to be used as occasion might require. Also that
some of the women had their aprons filled with stones,
and many of the men appropriatel their lockets as depc-
sitories for them.
