CHARGE AGAINST A HUSBAND OW SFIOOTING AT
HIS WIFE.—A 7► elderly man, named Frederick Young,
was on Friday, brought before Mr. Rushton, on a charge
of firing a loaded pistol at his wife. The case derived
some additional interest amongst the people in Vauxhall-
road, where he lived, by a rumour getting abroad that he
was a bigamist, and that boil wives were in the town.
On the day stated, about one o'clock, a dense crowd
was seen in Vauxhall road, and the prisoner was observed
to rush. out from amongst them, and pnisue his wife
along the street. When he came up to her, he seized
her by the throat, twisted her round', anti finally
drew a pistol from his pocket and fired at her, but
fortunately (it it were loaded—fr r no ball could be found)—
without injurious effect. He was remanded until Satur-
day, and again (without material evidence; until yesterday,
when some further evidence was adduced on the part or
the complainant. A tea-tray was produced, which, it was
said, she had with her on the tot) of the basket at the time,
and'on which appeared some abrasures. and finally a hole,
said to have been made by the ball. Ttiis, however, wail
not quite satisfactory evidence, and it appeared to some
parties in Court who saw the tray, that the abrasures and
ho!e, at " jumping ' distances, might have been produced
by a chisel, and not a ball. The prisoner was again re-
manded until this day.

A RAILWAY HUNT AFTER A SUNDAY'S DINNER.
A gentleman of Liverpool. who is residing temporarily in
the vicinity of Bromborough, sent a parcel on Saturday
evening to the Birkenhead and Chester Railwfbi Office in
James-street, containing a j.tint for Sunday s dinner,
clean linen, shaving tackle, raid other necessaries, with di•
rections to be kept until he booked for Brornhorough
himself. The parcel was di,ected to that place. On ar-
riving at the offi.:e, he was told, to his dismay, that the
parcel was sent forward
.by the previous train, and would,
r.o doubt, be found either at Birkenhead or Brom-
borough. When he reached Birkenhead, he made
inquiries after his lost treason sin vain. They must be at
Bromborough, it was told ; but in case of so unfortunate
a -mishap as their having gone on to Chester, the clerk
said he would write to the station, and his parcel should
he duty returned next morning. He met, accordingly,
the half-past eight train, but no mutton, clean shift, or
razor, there awaited him. He stayed till ten ; but that
train he was told would not stop unless he booked to go
by it to Liverpool. He paid his ninepence accordingly. Still
no parcel. His neat despairing resolve was to go by the
tern he had paid for to Birkenhead, and went accordingly,
but was equally unlucky.. Try the Liverpool station,
urged the clerk. Our dinner hunter found, however. that
there would then be no time to return till two in the af-
ternoon. Go on to Chester, suggested the clerk. Our
hero, however, preferred returning to Brombro' again,
where a m having been despatched forth to Cheater,
his lost dinner, &c., reached him at two o'clock. &less
persevering individual would perhaps have been less suc-
cessful in stirring up the drowsy energies of the various
railway officials concerned,

THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE. • -

Yesterday Morning, at nine o'clock, a public breakfast
was partaken of, in the Music-hall, by members and
friends of the Evangelical Alliance, the purpose of the
meeting being to receive and bid farewell to the brethren
from America and other countries who had attended the
formation of the Alliance, prior to their departure from
England. It was announced in the bills that a valedictory
address would be given by the Rev. Dr. Byrth, and a
valedictory prayer by the Rev. James Lister ; also that
the Bev. Dr. S. 1.. Cox, of New York, would rei ly in
taking leave of the Briti-h friends of the Alliance ; and
that other ministers and gentlemen would take a part in
the proceedings. Toe interest excited was, consequently,
very cOnsiderable, and the body of the room w,s com-
fortably filled, also most of the platf,rm, and a consider-
able part of the small gallery. Amongst those present,
comprising members of every Christian denomination,
were a large number of ladies.
_ _ _

The breakfast was provided by Mr. C. Chalk, of the
London Coffee House, and was substantial but plain.
There were six tables running longitudinally with the
room, and a cross table at the top, under the platform.
Tea and m.ff.,e were served from urns, and the long tables
were amply provided with sandwich s, buns, bread and
butter, &c. At the cross table a few delicacies were in-
troduced, including chickens. ham, tongue, &I.
We observ, d at the head of the room, the Rev. Dr.
Cox, of New Yoik ; the Rev. Mr. Church, of America ;
the Rev. Dr. Patten, also a foreigner ; the Rev. Dr. Byrtb;
the Rev. Mr. Corcieaux ; the Rev. Mr. Kelly; the Rev.
C. Birrel ; the Rev. S. 0 borne ; Rev. John Todd Brown;
Dr. Massey, of Manchester; the Rev. W. Marshall. In-
dependent minister of Wigan ; Dr. Blackburn ; John
Cropper; John Howard, Esqrs., and many others of thd
clergy and laity, whose names we did not ascertain. In
all, there were present about 4'::0 persons. .
After the breakfast the gentlemen who were to take part
in the proceedings went upon the platform, and, as an-
nounced, A. C. Dunlop, Esq., took the chair.
Toe CHAIRMAN, in a short introductory address, an-
nounced in terms of extreme regret that they were that
day deprived of the presence of an esteemed brother, who
had rendered great services in the formation of their Al-
liance—he being confined by severe illness. He besought
those present not to forget him in their prayers. He al-
luded to the Rev. W. Bevan.

A its mn was then sung, " Come, let us join our cheer-
ful songs ;" after which the Rev. Mr.Cordeaux pronounced
a brief prayer, which he followed up by reading most im-
I pressively the 17th chapter of St. John. The same
rev. gentleman then offered a powerful prayer, em-
bracing general subjects, and in behalf of the several
religious institutions of the country. He prayed in a
feeling manner for the conversion of the Jewish people,
and implored a blessing on every society whose object, was
to propagate the tru'lis of the Gospels—on all Christian
missionaries—and especially on the Evangelical Alliance,
to render its members kind and loving towares each other.
If this movement emanated from the Lard, which they
believed it did, he prayed that His influence might tall
upon those Christians who had not yet joined them, and
bring them amongst them.
The CHAIRMAN then proceedec to briefly address the
meeting. He said they had met there that morning to
greet their dear foreign brethren who had come to this
country to take part in the formation of the Evangelical
Alliance—an Alliance which he believed was calculated to
produce effects which few had contemplated. A few years
ago if any one had ventured to predict what had now
taken place, be would have been thought a wild enthusiast
little better than mad (hear, hear). What was then the
state of affairs? The dissenters were endeavouring to pull
down the Establishment as if no Christian could belong
thereto, whilst the members of the Established Church
on the other hand were branding Dissenters as if to dissent
from the Establish d Church was virtually to deny Christi-
anity altogether. (Pear, hear.) Now all who loved the
Lord Je,us Christ were jellied together in one holy union.
lie need not allude to what had taken place last year, as
be trusted its hallowed influence was still telt out their
minds, end a hate he had lately witnessed in London
would not be easily erased from his mind. Then
about tiihe hundred ministers of different denomin signs
bad united in prayer and praise, and in consultation
together how they might best manifest to the world that
union in the Lord %Web must exist in all the members of
his mystical body. (Loud cheers.) It was to greet those
foreign brethren who had come from the Continent and
America—all of whom were now about to return to their
own land. (Hear.) Had the breakfast taken place on
Friday, there would have been more present. In this they
were for, stalled by their Manchester friends, and several
who would have been there left on Saturday by the Hibernia
for America, and the remainder were about to take their
departure to-morrow by the Great Britain. He felt sure,
however, they would ge forth with many a heartfelt prayer
from the brethren in this land. (Hear, hear.) After a
few other remarks the chairman concluded by calling on
the Rev. Dr. Byrth, Rector of Wallasey, to deliver a va-
ledictory address to the foreign brethren.
The Rev Dr. BYRTH, on rising, was greeted with loud
applause. lie commenced by saying—Mr. Chairman and
Christian Friends, Many a large meeting have I attended
in this room, connected with some of the most important
objects that can engage the attention of Christians, and
yet I h sitate not to say, that I was never was here upon
any occasions so deeply affecting to myself as the present.
(Hear, hear.) The eircuuistances connected with this oc-
casion are of ns ordinary character. Tnat we have here
some of the most distinguished members of foreign
churches, and that we are about to hid them farewell and
God speed in the name of the Lord, is a matter of no com-
mon interest. (Hear, hear.) Christians from Annerca
and other parts of the world have vi.iTen our shores upon
former occasions on errands of Christian philanthropy;
but I believe I speak the truth:when I say, that upon no
occasion before the present was there an a-sembly convened
from all portions of the Christian church in order to
greet them. or address unto them a valedictory ad-
dress. (Loud cheers ) And assuredly, if there was no
purpose but that, which is the object of this meeting,
there is much which is calculated to produce a strong im-
pression neon every Christian heart; especially would it
be so, if, Mr. Chairman, like yourself and many by whom
you are surrounded, all bad had the opportunities we have
lately possessed, of witnessing the holy zeal, listening to
the fervid eloquence, and partaking of the devout affec-
tions of those individuals. (Loud cheers.) Never will
theme be obliterated, the impressions male upon our minds
—(I venture to speak for you, Mr. Chairman, as well as
myself)—by our intercourse with our American friends.
(Continued applause.) To the last day of our lives, whe-
ther we see them again in this world or nre, we shall
cherish them amongst our best arid holiest associations,
and look forward to that meeting where there shall be no
more separation—to that alliance which shell be perfected
in the presence of our common Lord and Master. (Im-
mense cheering for some thee.) And yet before I pro-
ceed to the direct object which devolves upon me in ad-
dressing them, I feel that I may be permitted—nay. I am
expected—to say something, at least, respecting the occa-
sion which has brought us together to-day. (Cheers.),
As a member of the Church of England, yielding to
none in my attachment to that Church, whatever may
be thought of-kny association with my assenting
brethren by those who understaed not the real nature of
Christian charity,—(Cheers) --I anticipate no danger to
my communion by having the cerds of Christian union
drawn towards the members of other Christian commu-
nities enore closely, and I will bear my testimony in the
high places of the earth, that I have not Met with any in
this Holy Alliance (as I shall call W.—that I have not
met with any member who has a hateful disposition
to.varde the chive!) to which I belong. (Hear, hear )
And I will add, I know that my attachment to that church
has not been diminished. (Cheers.) Indeed, I am fully
convinced that in my own congregation there has been a
more manifest improvement, and my t ff rrts in that church
base been more useful and blessed since I gave in my
adhesion to that blessed cause. (Applause.) It can be
no valied o,tjection to our miasures that on the one hand
we are calumniated, and on the other hand kit alone.
We will meet the lormerthose who caluini,iate us, with
the Christian weaponsof charity and forbearance. (Cheers.)
If it be that some with a malevolence beyond knowledge,"
should endea /our to sow dissension in our holy assem-
hties, we will not return reproach fur evil ; praying even
for our enemies. (Cheers.) And as to those who are in-
different, and would bring no charge against us, we ven-
ture to believe that the time is not remote when they will
be surerised at their own apathy, and come ice numbers to
swell the ranks of this blessed cause. (Cheers ) Mr.
chairman, I have no fears f. r the Evangelical Alliance.
No cause ever appeared more promising than this; and
our American brethren will cross the A lantic and tell far
and wide that they have met with a response to every invita-
tion, and that there is a bond cemented between the
two countries more powerful titan any political compact—
la-tins b yond the existence of both countries; and con-
tributing, perhaps, at some future day, to allay angry dis-
cussion, and even to snatch the weapons raised against
his Christain brethren out of the hands of man, and \
place them at the foot of the cross. (Hear, hear.)
his appears to ate to he no over sanguine view the i
objects of the Alliance, judging from the records of what
has recently passed. (Applause.) I shall, however,
take the lib, rty of referring to what has been said respect-
ing out recent meetings. It has been said there was much
disputinz. No doubt there was much discussion, because
we were a deliberative assembly, and in what deliberative
assembly is there not ? We met morning after morning,
and evening after evening, to the number of about one
thousand. There were persons present from al parts of
the earth, and of every Christian denomination, and could
there he anything but discussion in the formation of our
plans ? (Hear, hear.) Blessed be God, there was discus-
sion, but such as the world never saw before—eager,
earnest, and sometimes warm discussion, hut at every
meeting I attended I never witnessed any temper, or
one word, which was unbecoming a Christian speaker.
(Cheers.) And I ask. is not such an effect as this an evi-
dence that these was presiding over us -a spirit better and
more holy than our own—even the Spirit of the living God.
(Hear, hear.) Nay. more than all this. The Evangelical
Alliance exhibited in the midst of its most agitated
occasions Christian union preserved entire. (Cheers.)
We were unanimous upon every thing in which unanimity
was desirable. We met together as a synod, or what they
pleased to call it; but without pretending to Tridentine
• infallibilty, they had more than Tridentioe unanimity.
(Continued (Continued cheers.) The- world has never before seen
this, and I am endeavouring to set the world right with
regard to our Association. As I believe that a holy peace
will he the conclusion of this assembly, so I believe it was
the besetting influence in all our assemblies. We never
parted without being prepared to give to each other the
right band of fellowship; and no individuali 7as a has gone
g. l
away from those meetings without feelin
man. better prepared to love his fellow-Christians—mere
convinced of the evil of his own heart, and more fully con-
vinced that they might all retain their respective differ-
ences, and yet continue together in the prosecution of one
common object. (Loud cheers.) In order to proceed to
the more direct object—our address to our American
brethren—l ask, should we allow them to depart without

telling them that all this peace, all.these blessings, under
God, are in no small degree owing to them. (Hear,
hear, and cheers.) How often have I felt, when sitting
even in some of the smallest committees, thou.:ll not
unobservant of the divisions of the christian world, that
I have never loved our christian dissenting brethren as
well as I ought to have done. I never have felt any re-
luctance to give them the right .hand of fellowship, but
now I feel that I can hold our .to them both hands.
(Loud cheers.) But touch that is deeply interesting to
the christian heart—much that affords a peculiar character
of our meetings, came from our American friends. They
came over to this country—a country from which their
foretellers had gone as pilgrims to a foreign land—in
order to show that they retained the same spirit which
animated their fathers—that they were not enemies, but
still our friends. But for that circumstance, much of
the effect of these meetings oa the world would be
mistaken. It can now be shown that it is possible
for christians from all parts, and differing widely from
each other on some poiats, to find some common
eround on which they can meet to prosecute some
common objects, and though they differ, yet can
all meet together at the throne of grace, to address
one common
.Father, being baptized by one common
spirit. '( Loud cries of bear, hear.) My reverend fathers
end brethren, to come now to the conclusion of this-1
speak unto you to whom I am c imenissiened .te deliver
this valedictory address. But for one consideration, no
office could have been more welcome to me. What were
the satin in which I should have clothed this address, my
reverend brethren, will be made up by the tone of this
meeting, who from these tables will echo back every word
of kindness; so that the words of the speaker will be
considered only as the key-note to the sentiments ex-
pressed. (cheers.) A valedictory address ! We will take the
old S.ixer, word. We come here to bid you a heartrelc fare-
well ! We come to speak of our past scenes of enjoyment.
When ft iends separate, the first feeling upon the mind is,
that there is lo be a suspension of all the happy intercourse
which they have enjoyed, and we cannot help thinking
we have enjoyed Christian communion, which for a time
must be separated—perhaps on this earth we may never
meet again; but I am sure I speak the sentiments of every
individua.. at these tables, when I say we offer to you, my
reverend brethren, our deep tribute of gratitude;—we
th oak you for all your labours in this blessed cause—we
desire to thank you for the warmth with which you hive
supplicated the Throne or Grace for all these ble,inga
upon us ; we thank you for all these thi..igs, and in the
name of the Lord we say unto you, because we have a
right to that—" Brethren, pray for us." And we say
to you, in the name of our common Father—May it be
well with you in every relation of life—well with you in
your own homes—well with you in your intercourse
with our common Lord—well with you in your d Hnestic
relations—well with you as ministers of the Gospel —well
with you in your congregations—may it fare well with you
in the hour of death—may it be well with you in the day
of judgment—tnav it be well with you throughout eternity!'
(Loud cheers.) Whet friends separate, my rev. brethren,
it is often with a feeling that they shall never meet
again. The word farewell is often associated with much
foreboding. It may be that in the flesh we shall never
meet again, and yet I speak confident y when I say, hav-
ing bEen commissioned to give utterance to the invitation,
Oh, come back to us ag .in as anon as you can ! (Con-
tinued cheering for some time.) I; I were to say it would
he a bright day in our s iritual history could we ega n see
Dr. Cex (cheers), Mr. Church (cheers), and Dr. Patten
(continued cheers); but I should fail in recollecting the
names of all, but their persons and their conduct will never
be effaced from my memory. (cheers.) We hope you
may come back again. We lave we shall have an oppor-
tunity of seeing you again—forgive me if it be a self-
invitation. We hope we shall see you, even beyond the
Atlantic (loud applause) ; I say that, because I know
your Christian love, and that we shall have a place in
your affections, even as vou have in ours, and therefore, if
we come uninvited, we feel assured of a welcome. (cheers.)
liut it is not with the Christian as it is with the men of
the world in bidding each other farewell. We shall meet
again! We have met in connection with a great fu'ure
which is to come—we look forward to that meeting where
there will he no valedictory address—where there will be
no parting tears to mar the brightness of Christian love—
where we shall always be looking back upon the past, and
this day amongst the number, and thank God who has
made this as it were an oasis in the desert. (Loud
cheers.) He who makes all things work together for
good to them that love him will continue all these things,
in rder to make us more blessed in His presence than we
should have been wit bout them. (Applause.) And you, my
friends, who nave come here, and who have endeavoured
to be tr the same testimony shall never have occasion to
look back with regret upon what we have overcome; we
shall never regret having joined in this holy cause; in hav-
ing joined azainst the great enemy of the Lord, to unfurl
the banner of Christian union before the whole world.
(Loud applause.) When we say farewell permit me to
ask that we at least—indeed we know it will be so—should
have an interest in your prayers. When you cross the
mighty Atlantic, 0 brethren, pray for us—let. Lunn' be for-
gotten i n your best scenes, let nott he hallowed opportunities
which we have enjoyed pass away from our memories,
let us endeavour to draw closer' together the bonds of
Christian union, and let us tell unto the world that which
some will consider a great wonder, that we have met with
persons differing from us on matters of great importance,
and yet agreeing in all that is essential ; that we have met,
not to differ, hut to agree. (Loud cheers.) My rev. '
brethren, may the Lord bless you and Lep you! May
he lift no the light of his countenance upon you, arid bless
you! The LorCshine upon you, and give you peace!
Farewell! (Thewrev. gentleman resumed his seat amid
loud cheers.)
Dr. Cox Was then called upon, and addressed the
meeting in an eloquent speech, which lasted nearly two
hours, in the course of which he denounced the existence
of the slave trade in America, as a subject of grief and
discomfort to all true Christians, but deprecated the con-
duct of those who advocated an appeal to arms to put
it down.

At the conclusion of his address, a hymn was given out
by the Rev. W. W. EWBANK ; after which, prayer was
made by the Rev. Mr. OSBORNE. Wesleyan Minister,
and the proceedings terminated about half-past twelve
o'clock.

The Rryal mail steam-shin, Hibernia, Captain Ayres,
sailed he"es on Saturday, with the usual mails for Canada
an I the United States. The Great Britain sails for New
York to-day.

COAIMIPM NTS.—At the pnlice•court, yesterday, Henry
Du:to,,, who had been previously reminded on a charge
of felony, wis committed for three months, and John
Tinley was subjected to a similar imprisonment for steal-
ing 71 s. of tobacco in Norfolk street.

On Saturday, the Birkenhead Crcket Club celebrated
the termination of their season by a grand dinner held at
Mr. Smith's, Palk Hotel, (;range-lane. The viands and
substant;als were all of the most excePent description, and
the members passed together a very convivial meeting.
COMMITMENT.—Yesterday, at the Police-court, a
young shopman named Thomas Mackay, was charged by
his master Mr. Luke Ryan, clothier, St. James's street,
with stealing a shilling, which he was observed to purloin.
tie had been in the employ about two 01011,11 S, and sus-
picion had fallen upon him. When lie was searched at
the shop a shilling was found in one'of his pocke•s, and
corn,- silver in another. When in Bridewell. a box, con-
taining some pawn-tickets, for two waistcoats, &c., the
property of his employer, was found upon him. lie was
committed for trial on both charges.
CHARGE OF UTTERING BASE COIN.—At the Police-
caurt yesterday, a married female named Anne Atkinson,
was charged with having utter.-d, or procured to be ut-
tered, a conterreit half-crown to one party, and a second
to another. The prisoner was ably defended by Mr.
Snowball. It appeared that she lived with her husband
and children in Prince Edwin-court, Prince Edwin-street,
and had sent the coin by a little girl at different times to pur-
chase small articles for the household, Itwas thouuht by
those who had received it at the time to be good, as it rung
well, hut was afterwards found to he base. The case
in the first instance appeared to be somewhat strong
against the prisoner, but a variety of evidence was gone
into on her behalf. proving in the end that she was not
c .gnizant of the coin being base ; that the house she now
inhabited had some time ago been tenanted by men named
Scott, Williams, Rigby, and otli?rs, notorious thieves end
" smashers" (one of whom had been transported ;) that
she had' stated to several parties, on beigitc:;arged with
netting the coin passed, that when clentlinithe hou.e, the
two pieces wrapped together in paper dropped from behind
the grate; and that site showed one piece to a neighbour,
and obtained her opinion that it was good. Several parties
gave the prisoner and her hustand (who is a slater and
plasterer) an excellent character for industry and propriety
of conduct,—the husband, who is a teetotaller, having
been for years employed by the same master. with whom
he served his time. Mr. Snowball stated that he believed
the family to he highly respectable in their station in life ;
and that the husband's sister was now, and bed been six
years, in his own service. No implements for coining
were found in the house. Under these circumstances, al-
though none of the police could immediately show th,t the
characters stated had previously inhabited the hots-e, Mr.
Rushton said that lie should hot further, after the char-
acter given to the prisoner, investigate the case, and dis-
charged the prisoner.

REVISING BARRISTER'S COURT.—The annual court
for the revision of the borough list of notices was hell on
Tuesday last, at the Sessions-house, and adjourned till
the following day. The total claims and objections were
AS follows : ouseholaerst Ev!-ron Claims. 8, ohj-ctions,
41 ; Kirkdale claim, 1. objections, 42 ; Liverpool parish
claims, 39. objections, 384; West D:rby claims, 58, ob-
jections, 68 ; Toxietli.prity claims, 22. 01..j!ction., 82 ;
Freemen claims, 16. obj-ctions, 541., Total, 144 claims,
1158 objections. Mr. Bretherton, solicitor, as usual, ex-
tended his eloquencein support of the League party and
their tools. Mr. Bremner conducted, with his usual
ability, the case of the. C?nnervatives, the utter:thrice of
which party was principally support obj-ctons.
The result was, in Lverton ward, out of 42 Radical oh-
jecticns, 34 sustri-ined, and 8 failures. In West Derby
Radical objections were valid, and only 9 claims
out of 56 substantiated. In Toxte.th.pA: k only 7 out
of 81
.Radical objections were substantiated, and only
one clam out of 22 claims, was successful. In the parish
of Liverpool. 242 objections of the Radicals were held
had by the revising barriafer, owing to want cf proof of
the proper service of the notice upon the overseer, which
the Radical party say reached his hands at a quarter to
twelve on the lasi night, while the Conservatives contend
that it was not received until the tollowing morning. The
decision is suliect to appeal. On Saturday, the claims
and objections of the freemen were gone into, and of.
whom 152 were struck off, many of them being dead
or householdems. Amongst those objected to upon the
most trumpery grounds was the Rev. Senior Rector, Mr.
Brooks, who was brought from Stockport to defend his
vote. • Of course this int•u t, to a clergyman fifty years a
resident, was fun to the dissenters and rabid portion of
the league party, although it must excite the unmitigated
disgust of its more respectable members.

LATE:A: INTELLIG OE.
(BY EXPRESS.)

LONDON CORN EXCII‘NGE —YESTERDAY
At this day's market we had only a moderate supply of Wheat
froM Essex and Suffolk, but a liberal quantity from Kent. The
trade opened briskly at an advance of 2s. per quarter over the
currency of this day week.
We had an ircreasing demand for Foreign Wheat, which
brought Is. to 2s. more money. Although Barley comes to
hand sparingly, the ma!tsters succeed in buying Is. per quarter

SMITHFIELD rArri E mARKET.—Ye,TRFIDAY.
From our grazing districts the number of Beasts was large,
but of middling quality. Prime Scots, -Herefords, &c., moved)
off steadily at full prices, but most other breeds bang on hand;
though we cannot consider them cheaper.
The numberS of Sheep were seasonably good, but not so large
as those exhibited for some time past. The Mutton trade was
brisk, at an advance in the quotations of from 2d. to 4d. per
81h.; the best old Down readily producing ss. per Sib.
Lambs were in good request, at a rise of from 2d. to 4d. per
Slb., at which a good clearance was effected.
In Calves and Pigs, the supply of which was moderate,
good business was doing at extreme currencies.

THEATRE ROYAL, WILLIAMSON SQUARE.-
NEW TRAGEDY BY MR. LINNiEUS BANKS.

Last night, the tragedy of " the Swiss Father," from
the pen of Mr. Lintimos Banks, a gentleman, doubtless,
wail known to many of our fellow-townsmen as the author
of several published poems of some merit, in addivon to
numerous contributions to our local piess. was performed
for the first time at the Theatre Royal, before a r,perrable
and rather nom' roux audience. Unfortunately for tile au-
thor, two of the actors upon whom he had reli-d to take
the leading character were absent. One part—a lead-
ing part—had, therefore, to he read ; and every one
in the slightest degree acquainted with the itricals, will
easily judge how much the effect of the piece was marrea
by this unforeseen circumstance. In fact, the author's
leading characters were completely burked; and it was
only b-cause, here and there, a few indications
reached us that the writer of the pl iv hail some poetry in
hi: composition, th:t the whole niftir was not at once
condemned to the Tomb of all the I:awllets.
Of the incidents or the plot of the drama, we need not
attempt to say much. The mumbling of one gentleman
who reads his part made a hiatus here and there, which
quite prevented us getting a fair notion of the story.
The plot, howevt r, appeared to us to hinge upon the at-
tempt of a villainous noble to get possession of the
daughter of a miser, who is enamoured of an humble
suitor, whom she marries. And here ends the first act.

Twenty years are then supposed to have elapsed. The
daughter of the miser is represented as dead,
,leaving a
daughter, whom the same villain who has sought to wreck
her honour is enamoured of, and a son, who is sunk ie
the vice of rambling. The catastrophe was to introduce
a murder and other matter.; but it was ja,lrciously cot
short, arid, in fact, the tiie..e elncluded w thout roding
at all that was intelligible. We dare sty Mr. Banks was
glad to get his tracedy concluded. We are sure
the audience heartily sympathized witbhion. We ought
not to omit saying, that one character, Peter Peterkinr
by Mr. Pearson, was excellently played, and is an excel-
lent diameter.

At the conclusion of the piece, which the audience re-
ceived, notwithstanding the performers generally did not
do it justice, with very kindly and approving feeling.
Mr. Banks delivered a .farewell address to his f -How-
town.roen. on Ilia approaching departure to the United
States, which was well received. The remaining part of
the per!ormances was of ordinary merit.

Mr Justice Williams, it is thought, died of gout in the
stomach.

TH' GODLESS COLLEGES AND THE HOLY SE6*-:t
The Nato.. the strenous defender of the Governme"f
scheme of education, positively denies that the court
Rome has pronnnneed any decision whatsoever upon the
question submitted to the consid. ration of the sacred
college. It is well known that Archbishop Crony, thruhr°,
of the Roman Catholic church in Ireland, is decidethsi
favorable to the M this; eri al measure, and it is but natal' s
to suppose that had any judgment been pronounced upotle
question of such vital importance to the disciptine of CP
church, the Primate would have been the first to have re"
ceived the official announcement of the Pope's tetimatati±;
It may be, therefore. that the Na'ion "speaks by the nool‘rt

necessary to state, first, that although the Nottingham
and Lincoln Railway has been opened. some weeks, tat
station at Newark is far from being complete; and t"-
for several months past a large number of men have beep
employed in carting earth from Beacon Hill, in order !°
take the site to its proper height. On the morning 1r)
question the men were employed as usual, but sit 8 o'eOc 1, ,
the greater part of them had retired •.o breakfast, foul
persons only remaining at work. They were undermining
for the purpose of more readily filling a cart belonging to
J. Hallam, one of the men killed, when a portion of the
earth suddenly gave way. Two of them fortunat4
esc sped, one of them being thrown to a considerable ells'
tance wit bout sustaining material injury. The other to°
were buried un.ler the earth, and though one of them vrea
immediately extricated, his neck was broken, and he 01',,

consequFntly quite dead. The body of the man was g e
out after.
