since Saturday, when we regretted to observe a learned

however, disappeared before prompt and judicious reme-
dies. We are given to understand that the fear of infec-
tion caused no absentees from the Mayor's dinner, last
night, notwithstanding the banquetting-hall stands upon

tion and other strangers who may visit Liverpool during
the sitting of that learned body in St. George's-hall.
AT THE BANKRUPTCY COURT, on Thursday, in re
Segar, a certificate of the second-class was granted, sub-
ject to a suspension for eight months, with protection.

QUOITING.—On Friday last, a match at quoits, for
£2OO, was played at Mr. Whitthread's, Derby Arms Hotel,
near the Zoological Gardens, between William Hodson,
the English champion, and John Rennie, the Scotch
champion, After six hours' excellent play, the match was
decided in favour of the Englishman. _

IN 13s CROSBY LEIGSTON.—On Saturday, Mr. Com-
missioner Stevenson gave judgment in this case, which
had been adjourned from the previous day. Taking all
the circumstances into consideration, he should suspend
the bankrupt's certificate for twelve calendar months, and
when granted, order it to be of the second class ; and, as
no objection had been made to granting protection, he
should grant protection till the expiration of the period
of suspension.

TUE GREAT BRITAIN.—The screw steam-ship Great
Britain, Captain Gray, which left the Mersey on the 12th
of June, for Australia, was spoken on the 29th of the
same month, in lat. 8 24 N., long. 27 30 W., 17 days out,
by the Great Britain ship, arrived from Callao at Queens-
town. Captain Gray reported the passengers all well.
A NEW Brow TENDER, to replace the vessel now em-
ployed in buoying the entrances to the port, was launched

—Length of keel and forerake, 68 feet; breadth, 17 feet
2 inches; depth, 9 feet ; new measurement, 90 tons.

stage-coaches that left Liverpool for all parts of England
and Scotland.

ST. THOMAS'S Cutracir, PAEK-LANE.—In reply to an
application by the minister and churchwarden of St.
Thomas's, in Park-lane, to the churchwardens of the
parish, the following answer has been received :
Liverpool, 11th August, 1854.
sirs,—, am directed by the churchwardens of the parish to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 3rd instant, in
which yon request that wine for sacramental purposes may
be furnished for St. Thomas's Church, as usual, in accord.
ance with the Act of Parliament. lam to point out to you
that the expense of providing bread and wine necessarily
used in the communion, is directed by the statute to be paid
out of the church-rate annually made, whereas no church-
rate has been made for the present year, the parishioners
having at Easter last refused one.—l have the honour to be,
sirs, your obedient servant, CHAS. HART.
Rev. Thos. L. Pain Minister, and
Mr. R. Caswell, Churchwarden,
of St. Thomas's Church.
We understand that, in consequence of the above intima-
tion, a movement has been originated among the Church-
men of Pitt-street Ward, for the purpose of withholding,
as far as they are concerned, the voluntary church-rate
from the parish authorities, and having it applied to the
use of St. Thomas's church.
THE SCREW-STEAMSHIP NEW YORK was launched,
on Thursday, from the yard of Tod and M`Gregor, Kelvin.
She is about the same size as the City of Philadelphia,
lately launched by the same builders. Burthen, 2,400
tons ; length of deck, 300 feet; breadth of beam, 39 feet;
of hold, 27 feet; horse-power, 450. The dining
saloon will be on deck, and ample accommodation for pas.
sengers will be provided in berths and state cabins below,
similar to the Cunard steamers. The ship's officers will
also be accommodated on deck in comfortable berths. The

internal fittings will, we believe, be such as to leave
nothing wanting that may contribute to the health and
comfort of the passengers. Her machinery will be fitted
up in due course, and she will start on her first voyage
about the end of September.
FATAL EFFECTS OF INTOXICATION.—On the Bth inst.,
Peter Daly, aged 34, a horsekeeper, entered the service of
Mr. Bath, at the Aigburth Hotel, and it was soon percep-
tible that he was addicted to habits of intoxication. On
Monday and Tuesday following, he was observed indulging
in liquor, and on the latter day he endeavoured to entice
James Joyce, a fellow helper, to drink with him, but Joyce
refused. On the evening of Tuesday, Joyce entered the"
stable, and saw Daly lying ou his back, drunk with one of
the horse's feet between his legs, when Joyceimmediately
released him from his dangerous position. On Wednesday
he was again inebriated, and about five o'clock in the even-
ing Joyce saw him near the stable dooi; in half an hour
afterwards he heard that Daly had been severely injured
by one of the horses. Joyce removed him from the stable,
and Dr. Thompson, of Aigburth, was sent for, who, find-
ing Daly mach hurt, advised his removal to the Southern
Hospital, where he arrived in a car at nine o'clock the
same night, suffering from severe injuries of the abdomen,
and expired on Sunday morning. The probability is that
he fell down, or laid himself down as before, and the
horses trod upon him. An inquest will be held this day-
SUDDEN DEATH.—Mary Madden, widow of John Mad-
den, 13 court, Wright-street, aged 64, had for some time
been afflicted with asthma, and was attended by Mr. Kelly,
surgeon to the parish. On Sunday night she retired to rest
with her daughter, who found her mother dead in bed
yesterday morning. An inquest will be held upon the
body this day. .

ARRIVAL OF TITS OTTAWA.—On Friday morning the
Canadian Steam Navigation Company's Royal Mail screw
steam-ship Ottawa, Capt. J. B. Atkins, arrived in the
Mersey, from Quebec,

' ing her cargo. She sailed from Quebec on the 30th ult ~
and notwithstanding her defective propeller, made the
passage to this port in less than 11i days. The Ottawa

augury and its Revolutions from the Earliest
Period to the Nineteenth Century. With a
Memoir of Louis Kossuth. By E. 0. S. Lon-
don : Henry G. Bohn.

The present volume of Bohn's Standard Library
is devoted ostensibly to a history of the oligarchical
monarchial republic of Hungary, but in reality it
comprises little beyond a laudatory memoir of the
much-debated Polish hero Kossuth. The first
hundred and fifty-eight pages are devoted to an
outline of Hungarian history, in which the leading
, I events are olanced at, and summarily dismissed
. _
m Oa' ----

remainin: three hundred and eighty-seven
paces of which the book consists, being exclusively
occupied with the memoir of M. Kossuth. After
concluding the brief historical compendium, the
author commences the more serious portion of his
labours by giving a condensed statistical summary
of the physical and political condition of Hungary
at the commencement of the present century, in
which he dwells with much solicitude upon the
resources and native riches of tbP count-

He next proceeds with the more immediate object
of his work, the politico-biographical narrative of
the exploits of his hero. The author notes, with
much fondness, the instances of opening talent and
the displays of spontaneous generosity unfolded in
the boyhood and early youth of him, the office of
whose panegyrical biographer he has assumed to
himself. As he passes to the more stirring events
which have afforded action to the career of Kos-
suth, and chequered the fortunes of his country-
men, while they have plunged his country in the
despair of political prostration and despotic thral-
dom, the author waxes eloquent as well as ener-
getic : he then evinces in a favourable form the
capabilities of literary composition with which he
is endowed, and puts forth a strength which will
prove highly attractive to many readers. The
volume is suited to the hour, and possesses nume-
rous claims on popular sympathy.
