FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. ITALY.—Despatches from Marseilles announce that the Neapolitan government has prohibited the expoFtation of goods and provisions for the Crimea, and that the Allies have remon- strated. Letters from Naples mention numerous arrests: The relations of the inhabitants of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies with Piedmont are the object of an active ourreillance. The solemnities at St. Peter'e on the 29th June, in honour of the patron Saints of Rome, the Apostles Peter and Paul, derived additional splendour from the presence of the King.of Portugal and the Duke of Oporto, with their father, and the• Duke and Duchess of Brabant. SPAIN.—A despatch, dated Marseilles, sth inst., says that the Cid had brought news to the following effect : —Arising hastaken place in Catalonia. The pretext of the rising is the question of the salaries. The Captain-General (Zapatero) had shut himself up in the citadel with the troops that remained faith- ful, whence he sent mediators to the insurgents, who received them with shouts of " Long live Espartero !" A Madrid newspaper announces that the Supreme Tribunal of War and Marine has confirmed the sentence of death by the• garotte passed on Colonel Durana by a Court-martial at B2r- celona. It says that the Queen was anxious to commute the• sentence, but the ministers represented to her that an example• was necessary. PaOSSIA.—A Berlin despatch announces that the Prince of Prussia was to leave Berlin on Saturday for ,St. Petersburg. to• visit his sister, the Dowager Empress. The despatch adds.:— "This visit has no political object." Russrs.—A letter from St. Petersburg mentions a curious whim of the present Czar. The marine artist, Evazowskoy, has received directions to revive, on canvas, from memory, the Russian vessels which were destroyed for the purpose of ob- structing the progress of the enemy. The Journal de St. Petersburg publishes a correspondence respecting the outrage at Hango, which Russia excuses on the ground that the flag of truce was not up. Russia accuses England of making an improper-use of flags of truce.

THE SIEGE 6P SEBASTOPOL. LAST WEE/ we were enabled to lay before our readers a sketch of the leading events which charac- terised the unsuccessful attacks made upon the Malakhoff and Redan. Since then, further details have been communicated by the correspondents of the London daily journals, which, although throwing additional light on the various movements of the two attacking parties, do not in any degree invalidate, or even materially, modify the account already given. On all hands it seems agreed that the attack, though preconcerted and deliberately agreed on, was prema- turely carried into effect, the result it is said of a mis- take on the part of the French general second in command. When made, the assault seems to have been conducted with all the heroism which might have been expected from the gallantry of the troops who made it - but it appears also that they were ill, or rather not at all supported. From some cause or other, the reserves were not brought up, which, under all the circum- stances of the case, is less to be regretted, as they could not have rendered very effective aid in the assault, and, without being able to afford succour to their comrades, would have only presented a wider target for the artillery of the enemy. Who was to blame for the -sad mishap, it is no easy matter to determine. In a despatch, dated June 22d, General PELISSIER, after giving a minute account of his pre- parations for the attack, says :--- I selected the Lancaster Battery for my post, from which I was to give the signal by star rockets for the general advance. Notwithstanding great difficulties of ground, notwithstanding the obstacles accumulated by the enemy, and although the Russians, evidently informed of our plans, were on their guard and ready to repel an attack, I am inclined to think that if the attack could have been general and instantaneous on the whole extent of the line—if there had been a simultaneous action and ensemble in the efforts of our brave troops—the object would have been achieved. Unhappily, it was not so, and an incon- ceivable fatality caused us to fail. I was still at more than 1,000 metres from the place whence I was to give the signal when a violent fire of musketry, intermixed with grape, ap- prized me that the combat had commenced seriously on the right. In fact, a little before 3 a.m., General Mayran fancied he recognized my signal in a shell with a blazing fuse sent up from the Brancion Redoubt. It was in vain that he was in- formed of his mistake. This brave and unfortunate General gave the order for the attack. The Saurin and De Failly columns immediately rushed forward ; the first rush was mag- nificent, but scarcely were these heads of columns in marc when a shower of balls and grape was poured in upon them. This crushing fire came not only from the works which we wished to carry, but also from the enemy's steamers, which came up at full steam and manoeuvred with great skill and effect. We, however, caused them some damage. This pro- digious fire stopped the efforts of our troops. It became im- possible for our soldiers to advauce, but not a man retired one step; it was at this moment that General Mayran, already hit in two places, was knocked down by a grapeshot, and was compelled to resign the command of his division. All this was the work of a moment, and General Mayran was already carried off the field of battle when I sent up the signal from the Lan- caster Battery. The other troops then advanced to support the premature movement of the right division. That valiant divi- sion, disconcerted by the loss of its general, promptly rallied at the voice of General de Failly. The troops engaged, sup- ported by the 2nd battalion of the 95th of the line and by a battalion of the Voltigeurs of the Guard, under the orders of the brave Colonel Boudville, held a footing in a bend of the ground where the general placed them, and boldly maintained there position there. Informed, however, of this position, which might become critical, I ordered General Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely to send four battalions of the Voltigeurs of the Guard, taken from the general reserve, to the support of that division. Generals Mellinet and Uhrich marched with that fine body of men, rallied the stragglers in the ravine of Careening Bay, and gave a solid support to General de Failly, by occupying the bottom of the ravine. The attack on the centre had not a better fate. General Brunet had not yet completed all his arrangements when the signal rockets were fired, The whole of the right was already prematurely engaged for more than twenty to twenty-five minutes. The troops, nevertheless, resolutely advanced, but their valour was no avail against the well-sustained fire of the Russians, and against unforeseen obstacles. At the very outset Gen. Brunet fell mortally wounded by a ball in the chest. The flag of the 91st was cut in two by a ball. but it is needless to add that its fragments were brought back by that gallant regiment. To criticise the dispositions intended, but which were not carried out, would be an idle task ; to indulge in idle lamentations over the mischances to which accidental misrepresentation led, would not be much more to the purpose ; but pointed illustration of the statement is essential to vindicate the memory of Lord Raglan, whose share in the transaction has been severely criticised, by parties who have seemingly had but small means of knowing the real state of affairs. The English Commander-in-chief, seeing the columns of his allies engaged in the assault, and suffering under the destructive fire of Russian missiles, had no alter- native but to carry his portion of the agreed-upon arrangements into execution, so far as that was pos- sible, in order to afford them the chance of success or even the hope of safety. This he did, so far as the means within his reach enabled him to do. That the operation was not successful was not his fault, and its failure cannot, with justice, be imputed to him. The details of the unfortunate affair are so invested with a melancholy interest, that, even at the risk of repeti- tion, we give the following from the special corres- pondent o the Daily News, who thus accounts for the failure of the attack :--- According to report, the plan originally agreed upon be- tween the allied commanders was that the fire of the batteries should open at daylight, more especially against the intended points of attack, and that after three or four hours' bombard- ment—after a sufficient effect had been produced upon the enemy's works, and all his spare troops had been removed to a distance from the immediate scene of action—the assault should be suddenly, at a!given signal, instituted. At a late hour, however, in the evening of the 17th instant, General Pelissier sent to Lord Raglan to say that reasons of a very urgent nature would compel him to assault at daylight, and that he trusted that the British troops would be ready to do the same on their side. This was assented to, it being under- stood that the Redan was not to be attacked by the English until the Malakoff hill had been gained by the French. Two reasons are put forward to account for this change of plan. One is, that they would necessarily be exposed to the enemy from want of sufficient cover in the trenches and works about the Mamelon Vert; the other, that General ;Pelissier had received notice of an intended attack on the part of the Rus- sians and that he was anxious to anticipate it. The alteration alluded to was not generally known in camp. When, therefore, the musketry fire opened just at break of day in front of the Mamelon, it was attributed to a sortie from the Russians and when the French were seen going up towards the Mala- koff works, it was supposed that, having repulsed the sortie, they were induced to follow up the advantage and carry on the attack in turn against the Russian bulwarks in front. Such was the opinion among the French troops, who were, equally with the English, under the impression that the as- sault was not intended to be made till seven or eight o'clock, The preliminary bombardment was set aside. The above it will be seen does not exactly tally with the French commander's statement ; yet it corrobo- rates the fact of the original agreement between him and Lord Raglan. The severity of the cannonade and bombardment of the 17th may in some degree be judged of from the annexed account given of it by an aide-de-camp of Prince Gortschakoff, which appears in the Invalide Rune : The enemy having resolved to make a decisive attack on our left flank, opened on the sth (17th) of June, at 3 30 a.m., a " fire of hell" against the fortifications of the Karabelnaia Faubourg (sections 3 and 4.) For two consecutive hours all their batteries fired almost uninterrupted broadsides. On our side we kept up a quick fire in return. At two in the after- noon, at a given signal, the besiegers opened a heavy fire against our right flank ; the fire, which was now opened along the whole line of our defences, lasted till an advanced hour of the evening. At dusk and throughout the night the enemy threw shells and rockets into the town, into the roadstead, and the north side. A steam-frigate, which had left the allied Beet at the same time, fired broadsides into the roadstead and against the town. The greater portion of its projectiles fell into the sea without touching our ships. This terrible can- nonade and incessant bombardment did.not prevent the brave defenders of Sebastopol from actively repairing the damage done to the works ; despite a terrible front and flank fire, the works were successfully completed, the guns which had been dismantled replaced by new ones on every point, and on the morning of the 6th (18th) of June, we were perfectly prepared to receive and drive back the enemy. Writing from the camp before Sebastopol on the 20th of June, the correspondent of the Times says : It is but natural that the attack of the Allies on the prin- cipal points of the Russian defences should now be scrutinized in all its details, and, as it has failed, that the plan of that attack should be severely criticized and unsparingly censured. It is certainly true that, in some respects, these details were imperfect. As an example of this imperfection, it is stated that the supports were too distant from the attacking parties ; that proper care was not taken to prevent the men becoming confused and losing their way iu the labyrinth of works before the Redan ; that no steps were formed above the berm of the parapet so that the men could step over in order ; that the at- tacking parties were too weak, and that the men were crowded into narrow works and trenches which could not afford them cover, and were difficult of access and exit. It is, moreover, affirmed that no proper instructions were given to the artillery for their guidance in the event of success or defeat, and that it was only when the Russians had crowded over their para- pets and through their embrasures, and had been shooting down our men for some time on their retreat, that an artillery Officer obtained permission from Lord Raglan to open fire upon their lines ; that no directions were addressed even to the am- bulance corps with respect to locality or action, and that many minor points of some importance were also neglected. We never searched out the strength of the Redan on that morning, and the Russians might have—for all we knew .and know—replaced every injured gun, and have had the battery in as good order as when we opened fire. We were certain of success. Sir George Brown, inflated by the bloodless conquest of Kertch and Yenikale, directed the operations as if the gar- rison of Sebastopol were a body of serf-militia. It does not appear why there was no attack on the Russian works on our left. One would certainly have thought that even a feint by the French against the Flagstaff Batteries would have been attended with advantage. Sir George Brown had the direction of the assault. The 1,750 men in each instance were formed of 400 men for the assaulting column, a working party of 400 men to cover them in case of a lodgment, and to reverse the work, 800 men as a support, and 100 riflemen or sharp- shooters preceding the head of the assaulting column to keep down the fire of the batteries and of the enemy's Chasseurs, and 50 men carrying woolpacks to bridge over the ditches. To these were added sixty sailors, bearing scaling-ladders. The Light Division column was to attack the right of the Redan at the re-entering angle ; the Second Division column was to attack the apex of the Redan as soon as the Light Division and Fourth Division had carried the work at the flanks ; the Third Division was to assault the Cemetery and the Barrack Batteries ; the Fourth Division column was to assail the left flank of the Redan at the re-entering angle. The Second Divi- sion were only to attack the apex after the Light Division and Fourth Division had gained the flanks, and effected a junction along the base of the works, when therwere to prevent the con- ' sequences of forcing a strong body of the enemy from the flanks into the angle of the Redan. The attacking column of the Light Division was furnished by theitn Fusileers, 23rd Welsh, 33rd (Duke of Wellington's) Regiment, and 34th Regiment The storming party was led by CoL Yea,of the 7th. The 19th -77th, and 85th Regiments, or the Second Brigade, were in re- serve, under Col. Shirley. Soon after twelve o'clock they moved down from camp and took ground in the trenches under the direction of Major Halliwell, Deputy Assistant-Quarter- master-General of the division. The 'Second division was on their left, the Fourth division on the left oLthe Second Divi- sion, and the Third Division on the extreme left. The move- merit was simultaneous, and the troops moved off together till thev.came into the trenches, from which they were to issue forth to attack the dark wall of earth serrated with embra- sures before them. These embrasures were only two well filled. The fire which we opened on Sunday morning, preli- minary to the assault, was marked by great energy, weight, and.destructiveness. In the first relief the Quarry Battery, commanded by Major Strange, threw no;less than 300 8-inch shells into the Redan, which is only 400 yards distant, and the place must have been nearly cleared by the incessant storm of iron splinters which flew through it. So near are the works that fragments of our 13-inch shells fly back from the Readan into the Quarry Battery, and on some occasions our men have been injured by the splinters of their own shells, which have radiated from the inside of the Russian batteries. Through. out Sunday our artillery fired 12,000 rounds of the hea- viest ordnance into the enemy's lines, and on the following day we fired 11,946 rounds of shot and shell. The Russian fire was weak and wild. Although they fired a good deal, they kept many pieces masked, and one six-gun and one eight- gun battery on the flanks of the Redan were silent, and were left comparatively unnoticed by our artillerymen. The only damage they did by all their fire throughout the whole of Sunday was the demolition of the wheel of a gun carriage. Had the three hours' cannonade and bombardment which Lord Raglan decided on administering to the Russian batte- ries before we assaulted been delivered to them, it is very pro- bable that we should have found but a small body of troops prepared to receive us at the parapets ; and it must be esteemed a very unfortunate circumstance that his lordship was induced to abandon his intention in deference to the wishes of General Pelissier. As the 34th Regiment advanced, the supports, by some means or another, got mixed together with them, and some confusion arose in consequence. On crossing the trench, our men, instead of coming upon the open space in a firm body, were broken into twos and threes. This arose from the want of a temporary step above the berm, which would have enabled the troops to cross the parapet with regularity; in- stead of which they had to scramble over it as well as they could ; and, as the top of the trench is of unequal height and form, their line was quite broken. The moment they came out from the trench the enemy began to direct on their whole front a deliberate and well-aimed initraille, which increased the want of orderand unsteadiness caused by the mode of their advance. Poor Colonel Yea saw the consequences too clearly. The gallant old soldier, by voice and gesture, tried to form and compose his men, but the thunder of the enemy's guns close at hand and the gloom of early dawn frustrated his efforts ; and, as he rushed along the troubled mass of troops which were herding together under the rush of grape, and endeavoured to get them into order for a rush at the batteries, which was better than standing still, or retreating in a panic, a charge of the deadly missile passed, and the noble soldier fell dead in advance of his men, struck at once in the head and stomach by grape shot. The division has lost upwards of 320 men killed and wounded, and it suffered severely as it re- tired from the futile attack. The signal for our assault was to be given by the discharge of two service rockets, which were to have been fired when the French got into the Malakhoff, and the latter were to have hoisted a flag as a signal of their success. It is certain that the French did for a short time establish themselves in the Malakhoff, but they were soon expelled with loss, and I saw with my own eyes a large triangular blue and black flag waving from the Malakhoff all during the fight. The moment the rockets were fired, the Light Division rushed out of cover ; in a quarter of an hour this infantry Balaklava was over, so far as any chance of suc- cess was concerned. The Second Division, seeing that the flank attacks failed, wisely kept under cover, and suffered but a tri- fling loss. Had they foolishly advanced, we should have to de- plore greater and more useless slaughter. Poor Sir John Camp- bell seems to have displayed a courage amounting to rash- ness. He sent away Captain Hume and Captain Snodgrass, his aid-de-camp, just before he rushed out of the trench, as if averse to bring them into the danger he meditated, and fell in the act of cheering on his men. SUCCESS OF THE ATTACK ON THE CEME- TERY AND BARRACK BATTERIES. The brigade under Major-General Eyre, which was destined to occupy the Cemetery and to carry the Barrack Batteries, consisted of the 9th Regiment, 18th Regiment, 28th Regiment, 38th Regiment, and 44th Regiment. Four volunteers from each company were selected to form an advance party, under Major Fielden, of the 44th Regiment, to feel the way and cover the advance. The 18th Royal Irish followed as the storming regiment. The brigade was turned out at 12 o'clock and proceeded to march down the road on the left of the Greenhill Battery to the Cemetery, and halted under cover while the necessary dispositions were being made for the attack. General Eyre, addressing the 18th, said, " I hope, my men, that this morning you will do something that will make every cabin in Ireland ring again I" The reply was a loud cheer, which instantly drew on the men a shower of grape. The skirmishers advanced just as the general atttack began, and, with some French on their left, rushed at the Cemetery, which was very feebly defended. They got pos- session of the place after a slight resistance, with small loss, and took some prisoners, but the moment the enemy retreated their batteries opened a heavy fire on the place from the left of the Redan and from the Barrack Battery. Four companies of the 18th at once rushed on out of the Cemetery towards the town, and actually succeeded in getting possession of the suburb. Captain Hayman was gallantly leading on his com- pany when he was shot through the knee. Captain Esmonde followed, and the men, once established, prepared to defend the houses they occupied. As they drove the Russians out, they were pelted with large stones by the latter on their way up to the battery, which quite overhangs the suburb. The Russians could not depress their guns sufficiently to fire down on our men, but they directed a severe flanking fire on them from an angle of the Redan works. Meantime the Russians did their utmost to blow down the houses with shell and shot, and fired grape incessantly, but the soldiers kept close, though they lost men occasionally, and they were most materially aided by the fire of the regiments in the Cemetery behind them, which was directed at the Russian embrasures; so that the enemy could not get out to fire down on the houses below. Some of the houses were comfortably furnished. One of them was as well fitted up as most English mansions, the rooms full of fine furniture, a piano in the drawing-room, and articles of luxury and taste not deficient. Our men unfortunately found that the cellars were not empty, and that there was abundance of fine muscat wine from the south coast of the Crimea, and of the stronger wines, perfumed with roses and mixed with fruits, which are grown in the interior, in the better sort of houses. Some of the officers, when they went away, carried off articles of clothing and papers as proofs of their entrance into the place, and some others took away pigeons and Guinea pigs, which were tame in the houses. The troops entered the place about four o'clock in the morning, and could not leave it until nine o'clock in the evening. The Russians blew up many of the houses and set fire to others, and when our men retired the flames were spreading rapidly along the street. The 18th Regiment lost 250 men. In the middle of the day Captain Esmonde wrote to General Eyre to say that he required support, that the men were short of ammu- nition, and that the rifles were clogged. A sergeant volun- teered to creep back with this letter, but when he reached the place where the general ought to have been, he found that the latter had been obliged to withdraw owing to his wound, and he therefore delivered the document to Colonel Edwardes. As there was no possibility of getting support down to the troops, Colonel Edwardes crept down along with the sergeant and got into the houses to see how matters were going on. The officer in command, on learning the state of the case, or- dered the men to keep up the hottest fire they could ; and meantime they picked up the rifles and ammunition of the killed and-wounded, and were' by that means enabled to con- tinue their fusilade. The 9th Regiment succeeding in effect- ing a lodgment in the houses in two or three different places, and held their position, as well as the 18th. A sergeant and a handful of men actually got possesion of the little Wasp Battery, in which there were only twelve or fourteen Russian artillerymen. They fled at the approach of our men, but when the latter turned round they discovered they were quite unsupported ; and the Russians, seeing that the poor fellows were left alone, came down on them and drove them out of the battery. An officer and half-a-dozen men of the same regi- ment got up close to a part of the Flagstaff Battery, and were into . advancing it when they, too, saw that they were by themselves, and, as it was futile to attempt holding their ground, they retreated. About 15 French :soldiers on their left aided them, but as they were likewise unsupported they had to retire. Another officer with only 12 men took one of the Russian Rifle Pits, bayonetted those they found in it, and held possession of it throughout the day. Meantime, while these portions of the sth and 18th and parties of the 44th and 28th were in the houses, the detachments of the same regi- ments and of the 38th kept up a hot fire from the Cemetery on the Russians in the battery and on the sharpshooters, all the time being exposed to a tremendous shower of bullets, grape, round shot, and shell. The loss of the brigade, under such circumstances, could not but be extremely severe. One part of it, separated from the other, was exposed to a destruc- tive fire in houses, the upper portion of which crumbled into pieces or fell in under fire, and it was only by keeping in the lower story, which was vaulted and well built, that they were enabled to hold their own. The other parts of it, far ad- vanced from our batteries, were almost unprotected, and were wider a constant mitraille and bombardment from guns which our batteries had failed to touch. Captain Smith, of the 9th, was struck by a grapeshot in the back as he was in the act of getting Captain Armstrong, of the 18th, into a litter with the assistance of Captain Gaynor. The shot broke his spine and drove his ribs into his lungs. He has sinee died.

THE Etbrrpool -;)tartbarb. TUESDAY, JULY 10, 1855. CHURCH PROSPECTS. TIME was, when Bishopricks in Ireland were abolished with as little ceremony as if the office of those who filled them had been one of confessedly human institution, and of very questionable use. Time was, when a profligate Minister insolently bade our own Bishops to set their houses in order ; when the Church's foes were many and rampant ; and her own "children, for the most part, either disaffected, or disheartened by contemplation of the many dangers which surrounded and threatened her. Happily, since then, things have slowly but surely altered for the better ; and the change, which has already been accomplished, affords a bright augury for the future, so that those whose birth dates from about the period referred to may well hope, if their lives be spared, to see the Church of England more healthy, more ear- nest, more vigorous, more powerful for good, than she has ever been at any period of her history. Dangers, it is true, still beset her, which will call for all the prudence of her rulers, and all the zeal and diligence of her pastors and people, to carry her through ; and others, still unseen, may arise from time to time, to retard her progress ; but still, we say, the experience of the last quarter of a century is such as to inspire us with gratitude and hope. Who does not recollect the timid tone in which a certain Commission reported, with regard to the re- arrangement of our overgrown Dioceses ? How they proposed to take a slice of territory from one and add it to another, as if the existing evils could be reme- died by giving additional work to a Bishop who had already enough or too much, and leaving those who were overworked only less so than they were before ? How when, with wondrous temerity, they ventu-.'ed to suggest a new see at Ripon, they felt themselves com- pelled, as a counterpoise, to propose the union of Glo'ster and Bristol P We all know, too, how nar- rowly, first the see of Man, and then that of St. Asaph, escaped suppression, in order to provide a Bishop for the wealthy cotton-metropolis; and how, when the see of Manchester was at length erected, it was only upon condition that there should be no addition to the Spiritual Peers in the Upper House, though up to the time of the Reformation they were actually more numeroui than their lay brethren, who have since been multiplied without let or hindrance. We all know, too, how Commissioners recommended, not the reform, but the cutting-down of our Cathedral Es- tablishments ; and how Parliament caged out their recommendations, thereby rendering them incapable of that efficiency, the lack of which was urged in defence of their spoliation. Who, then, we ask, will not thank GOD and take courage, when, with all these things, he compares the Report of the last Cathedral Commission, recently made public ? Its recommen- dations are all in an opposite direction, its framers evidently wishing to restore and reform, and not to destroy. Some of their recommendations may, possi- bly, be open to question ; but, viewing the report as a whole, we can wish nothing better than to see it car- ried out ; while the very existence of it, we hope, will put a stop once for all to such crude and ill-digested schemes as those which Lord BLAIsiDFORD has so perseveringly brought before the Legislature. But the part of the report which has afforded us most pleasure, is that in which the Commissioners re- commend the foundation of twelve additional sees: few enough for the wants of the Church, which could well find occupation for four times the existing number of Bishops ; but, what a contrast with the recommen- dations of the old Commission ! We will not quarrel about seats in the Upper House, if only we can obtain this addition to the Episcopate : nay, sooner than not obtain it, we would be content to see the Lords Spi- ritual removed from that august assembly in a body. Already we see it asserted in the public prints, with what truth we know not, that measures are on foot for founding four of the twelve new sees ; and we fer- vently hope, that no impediment may be thrown in the way upon the score of its being difficult to provide palaces and lordly incomes. We do not consider that any of our Bishops are overpaid, though some may be over-housed ; but we should be sorry, indeed, that the Church should lose the advantages which are cer- tain to accrue to her from an increase in their num- bers, merely because it may not be possible to pay the additional ones equally well.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES. MANCHEETBIL—There is considerable dulness in the mar- ket again this week. After the subsidence of the small ex- citement in the Liverpool cotton market at the close of last week, this market relapsed into the state of quietude it had previously assumed, and on Tuesday a total absence of any- thing approaching animation was evidenced. Below the re- duced rates that prevailed at the early part of the previous week, spinners and manufacturers were not inclined to go; whilst both the home and foreign houses appeared very in- different about operating, and offered lower rates. Since Tuesday, under the influence of a further decline and con- tinued dulness in cotton, concessions have been made for yarns and goods which have led to some transactions, but these instances are by no means general, and the market closes with rather more irregularity, and, at the same time, with but little appearance of an increased or steady demand. At the same time, it is becoming pretty evident that prices are again approximating to the point that may be considered pretty safe, and at which buyers are likely to operate with confidence. Spinners still continue to have an advantage over manufacturers. Whilst goods continue to be comparatively very dull of sale, there is rather more doing in yarns, both for India and the Continent, as well as the Mediterranean. Goods are only purchased where low prices are accepted; this in- ducement being required before sales can be effected. Such sales—and they are not many or large—as have been effected of India goods would appear to be at ruinous rates, and sub- mitted to to get rid of accumulating stocks. The Greek houses continue very inactive, their advices not being of a very favourable nature. In ether classes of goads much dul- ness prevails.—Manchester Courier. ROCIIILLLE.—No change in the flannel market. The wool market continues firm and the demand steady. HITEIDERSFIELD.—Our market has been tolerably active : more people about, and a decidedly better feeling for the future. Prices are still very firm, with, if anything, an up- 'ward tendency. LEEDS.—Prices are steady, and the mills continue to be pretty well employed. A number of buyers have been down during the week, and business has been rather brisk in the warehouses for the home trade, but there has been little doing for the foreign trade. BEADFOWD.—WOOIB : The supply of wool in the market in- creases daily. This remark applies to all descriptions except colonial. Prices rule firm. Noils and brokes are in greater plenty, and the price has not advanced to the extent of long and combing wools.—Yarns : Spool yarns are in good demand, and buyers have to wait for the spinners before they can get supplied. Prices are consequently firm, and still looking up- ward. Where contracts are made, the terms are higher by 6d. to 9d.-per gross over last month's quotations. In reeled yarns the shippers have been less active.—Pieces : A steady business 'doing in this branch of our trade ; goods, indeed, being generally made to order. NOTTINGHAM.—UntiI it is seen what the established price of yarn may be, hosiers are necessarily holding off buying yarns'to make goods except at enhanced-prices, which spinners feel compelled to demand in the present state of the cotton • market. The general state of both the hosiery and lace trades is such as not to call forth any special remark this week. LEICESTEIL—Business continues about as last reported. THE Liverpool postmen discharge 'their duties this week in uniform. MR. HAROLD LITTLEDILE has accepted a seat at the Board of the Great Western, and attended a meeting of direc- trrs on Thursday. THE British and North American Mail steamer Canada, Commodore Judkins, sailed 'hence for Halifax and Boston on `Saturday, with 100 passengers and a full cargo. WILLIAM LAWSON' manufacturing-chemist at the Apothe- caries-hall, Colquitt-street, •died, on Friday night, from the effects of injuries on the head, caused by falling out of the upper warehouse door on the previous Saturday. DAMAGE to the extent-of .21,500 was caused by fire in a warehouse, in Hurst-street, in the neighbourhood of New Wapping, on Saturday morning. The premises belong to Messrs. R. Gardner and Son, blockmakers, and the stock was insured for £6OO.

WRECK OF An IEALIGRA.NT SHlP.—Accounts have just been received of the wreck of the English ship Lochmaben Castle, Captain Turner, with nearly 600 souls on board, on a -formidable reef known•.as the Bird Rocks, in the Gulf of St. .Lawrence. She was a first-class ship of 1,600 tons, and left :Liverpool in the latter end of May for Quebec, with 557 passengers, men, women, and children, and a cargo of rice, &c. ,On the 14th ult. thick hazy.weather set in, and she ran upon • the Bird Rocks. Signals of distress were fired, and the -greater part of the cargo was thrown overboard. After an entire day's suspense, abark, the Sophia M'Kenzie, Captain Greenhorn, of London, came in sight, arid hearing the signals bore down, and the captain consented to receive the emigrants. .210 women and children were first taken from the wreck on board the bark, when night set in with a heavy gale and thick fog, and Captain Greenhorn, for the safety of his vessel, was obliged to bear away and proceed to Quebec, where the wo- men and children were landed. The latest accounts speak of the captain, crew, and remainder of the passengers being landod.on Byron Island, some 15 miles from the rocks. The ship and cargo, it is feared, are a total loss, but both are insured: to a large amount. EMIGEA.TION rnom Livnapoon.—The number of emigrants who left Liverpool for all foreign ports during the quarter ending June 30, is 43,880, being a decrease of 40,350 on the corresponding quarter of 1854. The sailings to Australia show a corresponding diminution with the decrease to the United States and North American ports. Two vessels of the " Mersey" line proceeded to sea on Tuesday ; the Monteagle, Captain Lorhy, for Melbourne, with 1.20 passengers.; and the Theodore, Captain Davys, for Adelaide, with 15 passengers. The Constance, Captain Christie, of Messrs. Henry Thomas :and Co.'s "Black Star" line, is now in the river,.and will sail a day or two-with nearly 200 passengers and a large cargo; 'the Africa, Captain O'Neill, of Messrs,. Magee, Levingstone, and Walthew's Liverpool" line, will go out of the Prince's Dock into the river, on Thursday ; the Albatross, Captain .Geves, of Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co.'s " Eagle" line, will leave the Prince's Dock early this week, and will take out a full complement of passengers ; and the beautiful clipper Queen of the East, belonging to the " Fox" line of packets, will sail in a few days, on her second voyage to the colonies, taking out only 150 passengers, about one-third of the com- plement which her owner ,might crowd into her, were he not desirous of studying the comfort of those on board. POSTAGE X 0 A.IISTRALIA.—About a year ago a M. rate of postage for letters not exceeding half an ounce was adopted between this .country and the Australian colonies, on the understanding that the colonial governments would adopt the same rates. It seems, however, that the colony of Victoria has failed to do so, and imposed a ls. rate. Last mouth notice was consequently issued by the Post-office, intimating that the rate of postage would be increased from this country to that colony to is. under half an ounce, and so on by increase of weight, and signifying that the postage must be paid in advance. To all the other Australian colonies the postage con- tinues Gd., as before, and the payment in advance is optional. Owing to the compulsory payment in the case of letters to Victoria, more than 10,000, which were intended to go by the Champion of the Seas on the 4th instant, have been returned, through the Dead Letter-office, to the senders. The parties inconvenienced consider this a grievance, and ask why. should the prepayment of letters be made compulsory to Victona,when to all our other colonies it is optional. But it is to be presumed the colony have not only failed to accept the sixpenny arrange- ment, but also to make such provisions as would enable pay- ment on this side to be dispensed with, and that the case is one in which the London Post-office has no alternative. AGGRAVATED ASSAULT ON THE POLlCE.—Yesterday, two men, named John Cowan and James Carthy, were charged before Mr. Mansfield with a violent assault upon police-con- stables 413 and 74, on Sunday night, at the upper end of Vauxhall-road, From the evidence, it appeared that, about a week or ten days before, police-constable 413 had charged two companions of Cowan and Carthy with an assault upon him, which was clearly proved, and the prisoners, in that instance, were sentenced to imprisonment for three months. The two present prisoners, it would appear, along with some others, had resolved to inflict vengeance on the constable, and for this purpose had entered into a combination against him. On Sunday night, about 11 o'clock, as he was going about on his beat, a woman came up and asked if he were a Welsh police- man, and he said he was. She then told him he had better take care, as five men were lying in wait to kill him. He said he should take care, and was proceeding with his exami- nation of the doors of shops and public-houses. While doing so, the prisoner Cowan rushed out from behind a door, and made a violent blow at him with a brick, which, fortunately, did not strike the witness on the head, otherwise it would certainly have injured him very seriously. As it was, it hurt him much upon the shoulder, and falling on the ground broke in two. Witness closed with Cowan, who was assisted by , Carthy. His comrade 74 then came to his assistance, and the other three men of whom the woman had spoken ran away. Cowan and Carthy were given into custody, and the witness stating that he knew the men and where they were to be found, and also believed he could find out where the woman lived, Mr. Mansfield adjourned the further hearing of the case until this day, In the mean time he directed warrants to be issued for the apprehension of the three men, and desired that the attendance of the woman might be secured. LATEST NEWS. THE WAR. We have advices from Constantinople to the 28th June : The Turks had abandoned Kars, and were concentrating their force at Erzeroum. The Russians were advancing, and the Turkish generals demanded reinforcements. The Presse d' Orient reports that the Circassian garrison of Anapa is harassed by a Russian force; that the Circassians have not been able to regain the military road, and that they are encamped to the number of fourteen battalions on the heights above Soujak-Kale. It was said that the Russian General Korniloff was march- ing at the head of 20,000 men against Yenikale, where 8,000 of the Allied troops were well entrenched and ready to receive him. The Russian reinforcements sent into the Crimea have been compelled to return through want of provisions. Forty large pieces of ordnance have opened fire on the Rus- sian ships in the harbour of Sebastopol. It was rumoured in the Turkish camp that Suleyman Pacha and Ismail Paella were to march against Ismail. General Bosquet has resumed his old command. General Canrobert will shortly proceed to the assault with his division. VIENNA, July 7. - The Vienna Gazette contains a semi-official article in reply to the Emperor Napoleon's speech, in so far as the latter touched upon Austria. The article in question maintains that Austria has fulfilled the obligations imposed on her by the treaty of December 2, and that she is not bound to take any further steps. BERLIN, Saturday, July 12. The Prince of Prussia is going to St. Petersburg on family business. This journey has no political signification.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. political holiday, and has been successful in superseding Lord WESTMORELAND, as ambassador at Vienna, by the Hon. Mr. ELLIOTT, a near relative by marriage of Lord Jourr. Another dreary and sad week has closed on the public as it broods in sorrow over the dark details which have been trans- mitted from the Crimea. Very full accounts have now arrived in relation to all the complicated miseries and mistakes which appear to have been crowded into the fatal affairs of the 18th of June. These, if not quite so bad as was at first dreaded, have turned out considerably worse than it was hoped they would do. Our losses, although not so extensive as was at first stated, are in a degree aggravated by the circumstance that they were almost entirely the result of blunders. De- spatches from the late Lord RAGLAN and from General PELISSIER reader this melancholy fact indisputable, and strong opinions are expressed on all hands in relation to the sad affair. Viewed in the light afforded in those despatches, and in the descriptions given by the newspaper correspond- ents, and by private letters, the affair of the 18th was a chap- ter of accidents, a tissue of blunders, leading to great and inevitable slaughter, without affording almost the chance of a fortunate result. The game of deadly cross-purposes ap- pears to have begun in the French camp, and to have been continued with fatal pertinacity on the part of the English. That action which on the part of our Allies should have been, and was intended to be simultaneous, was begun prematurely, and never was anything but desultory. On our part a similar want of concert and understanding appears to have been equally predominant and equally disastrous. When the enemy showed coolness and power, the generals opposed to them became bewildered and lost their lives. At first it had been decided that the assault should be preceded by a cannonade of some hours' duration ; a point on which Lord RAGLAN placed great and well-founded reliance. Sub- sequent to this arrangement, General PELISSIER saw some reason for changing his, mind, and he communicated this altered intention to his brother commander at a late hour is the evening. It seems also to have been arranged that the French attack on the Malakhoff should be made before the English columns attempted anything against the Redan. The signal for the French advance was to be the discharge of a star-rocket, and for this signal the blazing fuse of a shell was mistaken by General MAYRAY, who im- mediately ordered his columns forward. In this he was but too promptly obeyed—he rushed on, and before the real signal for attack was made, they were repulsed' and he himself was borne off the field in a dying condition. Another division of the French attack was equally unfortu- nate, from the opposite cause. General BZITNET was as much too late as General MAYRAN had been too early. He was also killed, and his columns were driven back with great slaughter, after they had actually planted their eagles within the Russian works. The absence of combined and simultane- ous action, on the part of these two bodies; enabled the. Russians to deal with each separately, and in succession. If such were the blundering commencement, and such the unfor- tunate issue of the intended operations on the• part of the French, the conduct and result of the English proceedings offer a wonderful parallelism throughout their continuance, and at their conclusion. The attack on the Redan, which it was arranged should not bemade until the French established themsetvesin the Malakhoff, and in which case it could scarcely have been needed, was made when the French had failed in their attack. The. French columns were exposed to re severe and murderous- fire long before they could reach the scene of their intended conflict, and MAY N'S division was broken in its progress. On the part of the- English, proper meanee had not been adopted to, enable the men to get over the parepets of their own trenches, and they were shot down in twos and threes as they straggled out of their-fastnesses. It is certain that two of the-attacking parties were almost annihilated in less than a quarter of an hour after they had scrambled out of the trenches, and before they had recovered from the con- fusion into which they had been thrown in their efforts to get out of those trenches in which they had previously been posted. In vain endeavours to form the: men into bodies at this critical and terrible moment, the-brave Sir Joule Came. BELL and the equally gallant Colonel YEA' were' killed, while a perfect storm of grape, cannister, and round shot, together with musket and rifle balls, swept over and through their rapidly diminishing ranks. To complete 'the chapter of acci- dents with which this-sad day's work began and ended, it is necessary to examine the course of action begun and carried out by the third division under General. EYRE, in what appears to have been intended only as -a feint ; but which in reality turned.out the only success of the- day, and which if duly supported might have terminated in a real -victory. This gallant offieer, with a force -of only about four 'regiments, although the effectives of five were under his orders, made an attack-upon an armed cemetery, in a suburb of Sebastopol, and carried the defences, four companies of the Royal Irish making a successful lodgment' in 801 M-houses within range of the Russian fire, which thvy held against every opposition for several hours—seventeen, it is said—vainly hoping for support which should:. enable them permanently to hold the advantage they had gained. At four o'clock in the morning, Major-General KERR established himself within Sebastopol, .and not till nine at night, after he himself had been carried off wounded; did his men reluctantly retire, in obedience to 'orders -from the Com. wander-in-Chief. These houses are represeuted as . having_ been well furnished and plentifully supplied with everything conducive to comfort, and to these our-brave soldiers 'helped themselves pretty liberally. Considerable freedom of-remark has been indulged in by more than one non-military critic, in reference to the withdrawal from this position after our troops had established themselves in it ; some of these maintaining that it might have been retained and converted into, a point d'appui, from which future operations might have been readily directed. This, it -is said, is of a piece with the other proceedings in this war. No small success has ever been pushed into a great one. Here was at least one regiment which had forced its way into Sebastopol, and remained there for a day. The soldiers drank wine and carried off some articles of fur- niture, together with poultry, guinea-pigs and other-mementoes of the day's foray, clearly establishing the fact of, their suc- cessful occupation, and their comparatively unmolested retreat. Thus we have invariably knocked our heads lustily against the strong points; but, when we have found weak ones, we have made but slight endeavour to profit by the discovery. Since the last scene of this bloody and ill-constructed tragedy has been played, popular judgment has been much disturbed. Eefore any of the details were known, intelligence was received. that Lord RA.GLAN was no more. That his. constitution,, yielding, to the debilitating influences of the- climate, and weakened by anxiety, had been overthrown in, the unequal conflict between duty and inadequate support from the home authorities-; the fatal result expedited in all likelihood-.by reflection on.the fearful issue of hie.first and last failure. If the gallant General or his friends- had reason to complain of bewilderinginstrnctions and lukewarm supPert— if either he or they had grounds for objecting to the current ' of popular criticism on his conduct of affairs in the . Crimea, much.may, be said in,extenuation of thelatter—(the former, if existing, admits of no defence)—by allusion to popular en- thusiasm—to the- comparatively small results. and enormous sacrifices.which have up to the present moment characterised the. Crimean wareand the general mismanagement which has been proved to. hang about it from its.commenoement. If any injustice-has-been done to the• noble soldier. when living, ample amends have been made to hismemory. His gallantry and goodness have been themes for every pen and every tongue. A generous country has. liberally acknowledged its error. Let the unwelcome topic sink now into merited oblivion. The honour and the memory of Lord RAGLAN are safe- ins the country's keeping; he is beyond the reach of.' censure). and deaf to the voice of praise. The appointment of a successor to. Lord RA.GI42; still oceue pies, a considerable share of general attention ; and, although General SIMPSON has been formally appointed, a strong opinion is prevalent in well-informed circles that this is but a temporary arrangement ; and many maintain, as upon good authority, that the command has been offered to Lord HAEDINGE, who, it is further said, will accept it. In objec- tion to this appointment it is urged that his lordship, who is three years the senior of the late Lord RAGLAN, ie too old to be oppressed with the cares of so arduous a command—many maintaining that the active energy of youth is alone com- petent to cope with the difficulties of such a position. Against those wha start such objections it is urged that the dangerous impetuosity of inexperience has been fatally shown in the results of the attack on the Malakhoff. From even the very regulated tone of Lord RAGLAN'S despatch, giving ea - account of the affair, it is evident that he did not even from the first approve of it, although he yielded to the inapressement of General PsLIssIIE. What is wanted is a General with firmness of purpose, and such experience in war as will enable him to form a just estimate of any proposal, and abide by his decision on it. The high military position of Lord HARDINGE, and his generally calm, yet resolute judg. meat, point him out as well suited to the post ; whether his physical energies are such as would justify his acceptance of it, may well induce him to pause for consideration. The last week or two has been fatal to two veterans long connected with the newspaper press of the metropolis. Mr. JOHN BLACK and Mr. JAMES S. BUCKINGHAM, are men. honed in the obituaries among those whose warfare has been brought to a close, but not before each of them attained a ripe old age. The former was editor of the Morning Chronicle for upwards of a quarter of a century, at the time when it earned that reputation which of late years its chief conductors have successfully laboured to dispel. The son of a Scotch . peasant, Mr. BLACK, like many of his countrymen, began life with no better education than that afforded by a Scotch parochial school. Having left the scene of early labour, he succeeded in placing himself in a solicitor's office, in Edin- burgh, as a clerk, at a very small salary. In the exercise of this calling, he contrived to acquire a knowledge of the German and Italian languages, from refugees, as poor as he was himself, teaching them in exchange such English as he had himself acquired. In addition to these he made himself mastor of the Classics, and so early as 1810 obtained employment as a Par- liamentary Reporter on the Morning Chronicle. About this time he translated some German and Italian treatises, on poli- tical economy, and one or two other trifles. He became editor of the journal named about 1819, and continued in that responsible office till 1845, when he retired from public life. As a political writer, he was much morn remarkable for the energy than for the elegance of his style; but, full of carefully acquired knowledge, he at all times brought that readily to bear upon any topic he had under discussion. This gave him no inconsiderable advantage in many points, and the facility with which he could exercise it procured for him the violent antipathy of COBBETT, whose vituperation of Mr. BLACK and the Scotch feelosophers was not less virulent than it was ab- surd. In private life he was a man of strict integrity, of genial and kindly disposition, and was generally esteemed by those who knew him. Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S career was more chequered, and in many respects more marked than that of Mr. BLACK. At an early period of his life, Mr. BUCKINGHAM was involved in a literary squabble with some of the leading officials of the East India Company, in India. which gave a colour of dissatisfaction and an air of unrest to the whole of his after life. Defeated as a journalist in India, he travelled over a great portion of the Asiatic and American Continents, and published voluminous journals of his travels. Subse- quently he became connected with the English periodical press, and assumed the position of a public lecturer. In 1932 he was elected M.P. for Sheffield, and sat for that borough till 1837. The House of Commons, however, was no field for his erratic and egotistical oratory, and he made no figure there. Latterly his name was but little before the public. BENEFIT BUILDING SOCIETIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sac, —A contest in the House of Lords- havin,g recently taken place in respect of a measure inimically affecting the above- named societies, and which was successfully opposed by the Earl of Derby, Lord Ravensworth, Marquis of Salisbury, and the Earl of Ellesmere, all of whom are connected with our town, I beg. to, subjoin a statement of the facts of the case, which will prove interesting to those of your readers who are connected with, such societies. Mr. Wilson,, of the Treasury, thought proper'to make the Benefit Building. Societies the objects of his attack, in the shape of a " proviso" to a clause of the Friendly Societies' Con- solidation Bill, which subject is not in any way connected with Building Societies; and which proviso, if passed, would have deprived such latter societies of the exemption from Stamp duties, enjoyed by them under the Benefit Building-Society Act of 1836. Immediately on learning of this attack upon them, the Liverpool Building Societies-. joined together, and formed a General Committee, which, by the promptitude and energy of it& proceedings, and the' cordial co-operation of our member, Thomas B. Horsfall, Esq., and our local nobles, succeed. ed in defeating the measure in the House cf Lords on Tuesday last, by 4V votes in our favour, to 43 votes- against us. On which occasion the excellent and. effective speeches of Lord Ra7ens- worth; our late member, the Earl of Derby, Lord Monteagle, and the Earl of Ellesmere, formerly our county member, tended. greatly to secure the'victory fonts. In order that members of- benefit building societies should know who are their friende,. I subjoin the list of those peers- who voted in their favour : Housr OP LORDS, TITESDAT. June 26th, 1855.—The follow- ing composed the majority in favour of Lord Ravensworth's- motion, that building societies should retain their present ex- emption from stamp duties :—The Duke of Northumberland, Marquis of Bath, Marquis of Salisbury, Marquis of Drogheda, Marquis of Westminster, Marquis of Winchester, Earl of Derby, Earl of Eglinton, Earl of Malmesburn Earl of Strad- broke, Earl of Ellenborough, Earl of Stanhope; Earl of Car- narvon, Earl ofiladdington, Earl of King3ton, Earl of Shaftes- bury, Earl of Delawarr, Earl of Ellesmere, Earl -of Lucan, Earl of Powis, Earl of Talbot, Earl of Beauchamp, Earl of Maccles- field, Earl of Leitrim, Earl of Bantry, Earl of Bardon, Earl of Warrington, Viscount Bangor, Viscount Hawarden, the Bishop of Exeter, Baron Wynford, Baron Colchester, Baron Dinevor, Baron Lyndhurst,- Baron Sondes, Baron Walsingham, Baron Downes; Baron Colville of Culross, Baron Redesdale, Baron Bavensworth, Baran Polwarth, Baron Plunket, Baron Vaux, Baron Monteagle, Baron Lilford, Baron Wharncliife, Baron Berners.—" Paired,off" in favour of building societies:—Earl of Orkney, Earl of it Vincent, Lord Farnham, Lord Forester, Lord Lanesborough, Lord Cardigan, Lord Bradford. Your publication, of the above will oblige our societies.— Your's; &c., JOSIAH HOSKING, CA:airman of the General Committee of the Liverpool Building Societies. Brunswick-street, Liverpool, July 2, 1855. DVS/NESS IN THE CITY.—It appears, from a statemenfrmade by Mr. Hankey, M.P., at a meeting of the Society for the,Pro- pagation of the Gospel,. laeldin London, on Friday, that the returns under the income tax act of the profits derived from business alone in the City amount to £13,000,000 a year: PARAGES.PHS have been going the round of the press, to the effect that Admiral Sir Charles Napier. and the widow of Rear-Admiral %am, had sustained enormous losses by the failure of Messrs. Strahan's bank, and •in connection with MessraaHalford and Co, We need hardy tell our professional friends that the reports have no foundation in fact.—thiited Service Gazette. A YOUNG Woman* was tried on Wednesday in the Central Criminal Court on a charge of the wilful murder of her child. It appeared that the infant had died from want of nourish- ment, and that the defendant had refused to give it suck. The jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter," and she was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. _ THX,AMENDED BILL, ON- LIMITED LIABILITY has been printed. Its difference consists in an additional provision, by which any joint stock company (except insurance offices} con- stituted under any Act of Parliament, and having a nominal capital of. £20,000, may obtain a certificate of limited liability from-the registrar of joint stock companies, upon satisfying the Board of Trade that' 5 per cent. of their capital is paid up. Awn," APFAIR.—On the night of Sunday last a man named William Ewers, living at Gravesend, was engaged. in a dispute with a woman, and being at high words expressed a wish ."that God would strike him dumb— if he was net cor- rect. At that moment his speech failed. him, and up to the present time he has. not been enabled to speak a word. Beyond the loss of speech he is in no, way affected, either by paralysis or epilepsy, so that there appears no physical, cause for-the impediment.— Woolwich Independent. Tlz NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERY.—The following is an ex- tract from a letter dated King's Cove, 3rd June :—" The fishery in this and the neighbouring_ harbours at this early season .far exceeds anything_ of the .kind for 30 years-past. The great misfortune was that but few were in order to catch it. Some boats in Bonavista on last Friday brought in 26 quintals; some boats-here and in keels have now from 50 to 70 quintals. Herring was so plenty that they took them with east nets."—St. Jeba's Times, JUUB 16. lar the Court of Queen's Bench, on Monday, Rosina Fray, late lady's-maid to Lady Zetlandoned Sarah Potter, house- keeper in the same establishment; for slander, in imputing_ to her improper conduct with one of the men-servants, and stating that she- was_ the author of an anonymous- letter in which the houSekeeper, on the other hand, was charged with similar improper- conduct. The jury found the housekeeper guilty of havingeimputed to the- plaintiff the authorship of the anonymous letter, and awarded £lOO damages. The lady's- maid had been,cllsmissed in consequence of the affair, and was unable to get another place.. AGEICULTSIRAL STAxlsTles of Scoreayr.—The report of the Highland Society to the Board of Trade, just published, shows that under the head.of Scottish holdingesented at less .than £10,„ there. are. 10,144 occupiers, 77,732 arable acres, 25,698 cattle, 4,273 horses, 7,871 sheep, and 8,198. swine. Under the head of holdings rented at leas. than £29, the, number of occupants amounts to 26,085, the number of arable acres, to 160,438, the cattle to 103,711, the horses to 24,735,.the sheep to 141,561, and the swine to 17,481. The total gives.a list of 42,229 occupiers of all, holdings, 238,170 arableacres, 129,469, cattle, 29,008 horses, 149,432. sheep, and 26,399, swine. A separate return for Orkney gives thetotal number of imperial acres at 41,8441' of which about 13,517 are in tillage, (only 74 under wheat crop,) and about 17;058 in grass, including 5,865 acres of sheep walks. The stock inzludes 1,424 horses, 2,078 milch cows, 2,696 other cattle, 1,891 calves, 5,612 ewes, gimmers, and ewe hogs ; 2,1,25 tups, wethers, and wether hogs ; and 1,336 swine. The gross pro- duce of Orkney in 1854 was 180 bushels of wheat, 5,727 of barley, 238,728 of oats, 108,168 of bere, 210 of beans, 132 of peas, 39,230't0ns of turnips, and 6,532 tons of potatoes. The average produce of wheat per acre is 24 bushels, of barley 39, andof oats 36 bushels. Owing to the number of petty occupiers to be dealt with, almost equalling that of the- tenantry of the county, and the difficulty of finding the proper persons from whom to obtain information, the preparation of these returns has entailed a great amount of time and labour ; but it is stated by Mr. Maxwell (who reports on the part of the High- land Society) that the public lies under a great obligation, not only to the farmers officially engaged in conducting the in- quiry, but to the many proprietors, agents, factors, poor inspectors, and others, through whose assistance the returns have been compiled. Every precaution has been taken to make them as accurate as possible. LONDON ON SUNDAY.—The Rev. Thomas Hugo, senior curate of St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, in a letter to The Times, draws the following picture of a Sunday in Houndsditch : " In the heart of London, on every successive Sunday in the year, in various streets, alleys, and courts to the north of Houndsditch, and therefore in my own immediate neighbour. hood, are congregated upwards of 15,000 persons, engaged in traffic of various kinds, and constituting what is called the City Exchange Fair.' The trade is carried on principally in Cutler-street, Phil's-buildings, City Exchange, Exhibition- mart, Harrow Alley, and Petticoat-lane, places notorious in the annals of crime for outrages and abominations of all descriptions. The articles offered for sale consist for the most part of wearing apparel and jewellery, and the fair lasts for the greater portion of the day. I speak from personal obser- vation, and inspection, and hesitate not to characterise the place as one of the very foulest sinks of profligacy and crime to be found within the length and breadth of London. Of the 15,000 individuals there assembled some are Jews of the lowest grade, but the great majority are nominally Christians, uniting together in forming a multitude of the most ignorant, lawless, brutal, and degraded ruffians that the metropolis can furnish. In this vile haunt crimes are both plotted and per- petrated; for, in a spot at the entrance to Harrow-alley, I was myself informed on the occasion of one of my visits, by one of our excellent police, that of all the males there congregated, of various ages, and to the number of several hundreds, every individual had been a convicted felon. Stolen property is here disposed of to any extent, 'and no questions asked;' and an inducement is thereby held to thieves from every quarter to bring hither the results of their crimes, assured of their imme- diate and safe disposal. I could furnish you with many details of this den of horrors : but I will content myself with affirming that if there be an epithet in the English tongue more descrip- tive than another of a place reeking with blasphemy, clamour, and obscenity, and of a loathsome assemblage stained with every vice named or nameless, that I would select and apply it to this foulest of foul scenes and filthiest of filthy multi- tudes. No man can possibly imagine it who has not visited the place and seen it with his own eyes."

SCIENCE AND ART. DE. ROBERT DE LAMBELLE, a distinguished physician of Paris, announces that a shock of electricity, given to a patient dying from the effects of chloroform, immediately counteracts its influence, and returns the sufferer to life. M. HULOT, one of the chiefs in the electrotypic department of the French Mint, has found out that the newly-discovered metal, aluminium, may replace platina as an element of the galvanic pile, and that this metal having zinc as an electro- negative element, gives rise to a considerable disengagement of hydrogen for several hours. PAINTINGS AT THE PARIS EXIIIBITION.—The general relative numerical proportions which have obtained between the works of the different nations are as follows :—Austria, 52 ; Nassau and Baden, 14 ; Bavaria, 65 ; Belgium, 224 ; Denmark, 5 ; Sicily, 5 ; Spain, 84 ; the Pontifical States, 13 ; the United States, 39 ; Great Britain, 376; the Grand Duchy of Hesse, 4 ; Mexico, 1; Holland, 98 ; Java, 1; Peru, 5 ; Portugal, 23 ; Prussia, 137; Sardinia, 26 ; Saxony, 12 • Swe- den, 28 • Norway, 16 ; Switzerland, 94 ; Tuscany, 6 ; t 'Turkey, 1; the Hanse Towns, 18 ; Wurtemburg, 9 ; France, 2,060, that is to say, nearly twice as many as all the other nations put together. AN ARTIFICIAL AVIARY has lately been uncovered in the Paris Palais de l'lndustrie. Under an immense glass globe is a tree whose branches are covered with stuffed birds of brilliant plumage. On turning a key a spring at the foot of the tree begins to run, the birds skipfrom branch to branch, and chirp and sing in the most agreeable manner. Their little beaks and breasts are in constant agitation, as in life, and not a few who have heard them declare that the notes are preferable to those of the living birds at the aviary of Tattaru, whieh is close at hand. A VERY IMPORTANT DISCOVERY has been made by a M. Petit, of Lyons, of a means of impregnating silk by a chemical process with gold, silver, brass, or iron, so that it can be woven with perfect flexibility, and thus form, as it were, stuffs of those metals. The invention has been secured by patent, and will be worked by a company of capitalists. Permission has been given to place a specimen in the Universal Exhibition. It is said that the price of this new material will not be high. ON BOILER EarLostoNs.—Not a month passes which does not give us some new instance of their fatal effects ; and as almost in all cases the explosion occurs when the steam is comparatively at a low pressure, it must be the effect of a strange force that has by some means or other introduced itself into the boiler, and which instantaneously raises the pressure from several atmospheres to several hundreds, and against which force the safety-valve is nothing. My firm conviction is, that this force is electricity. It is a well-known fact, that boilers contain more or less of the electric fluid, and that the maximum is formed with a low pressure, which fact tends to verify my hypothesis. Now, whatever may be the cause which makes it fulminant, if it could be conducted safely out of the boiler the explosion would not take place, and I see no reason why the application of the lightning- conductor could not be made with success. For example, if several insulated conductors, terminating with points made of a metal inoxidable, were introduced into the boiler, the elec- tricity could be carried through the sides of the boiler (as fast as it developed itself) with safety, into the tank or elsewhere. POTICITOMANIE.—The new practitioners of this old art take a much higher flight than our good old grandmothers of the sand-bottles, and are content with no less a victory than an exact imitation of everything in the shape of porcelain that falls into their unmerciful clutches. To this all their energies are directed: on this all their talent is displayed. No im- provement in the characteristic of the art is sought after, nor the perfecting its capabilities as a distinct branch of repre- sentation and colouring of beautiful forms ; all this is cast aside for the tempting ultimatum, which is to make blown glass appear baked pottery, and coloured prints pass as porce- lain painting. But no human being could ever mistake the one for the other on close inspection, and painted porcelain invites minute examination ; we must, therefore, pronounce the present practice of Potichomanie as an unmistakable abortion. It is a misfortune that popular favour should have taken this bent, when so many beautiful effects are within its reach, and might so easily be obtained, if those who prac- tise the art studied the harmony of colour, the disposition of form, the peculiarities and difficulties of the process of appli- cation, overcame the latter, and turned the former to advan- tage. I would suggest that the forms of the beautiful Etruscan vases in the British Museum should be reproduced, as the material which Potichomanie is best fitted to render beautiful. These, when produced in clear thick glass, might be decorated with. Rowney's water-colour prints, or the chro- molithography of Vincent Brooks, especial care being taken in harmonising the background with its subject, so, that an violent contrasts. may be avoided. This would give us tbe.• pure beauty of form in the vase, and when we examined more minutely the_, colour of the prints, we should there find no disappointment. In this way many beautiful objects might be obtained; at a cost which would place them within the reach of all. ' And, then, as a distinct and really legitimate branch of art, let us call it by a name which neither breaks our teeth nor excites commiseration ; for this, I would humbly suggest that the treatment I have proposed should be distinguished from its meretricious sister by the name of " Raffia Ware."—Builder. CLARIFYING OF WATER.—WeII-waters sometimes contain vegetable substances also of a peculiar kind, which render them unwholesome, even over large tracts of country. In sandy districts the decaying vegetable matters of the surface- soil are observed to sink down and form an ochrey pan, or thin yellow -layer in the subsoil, which is impervious to water, and through which, therefore, the rains cannotpass. Being arrested by this pan, the rain water, while it rests upon it, dissolves a certain portion of the vegetable matter ; and when collected into wells, is often dark-coloured, marshy in taste and smell, and unwholesome to drink. When boiled, the organic matter coagulates, and, when the water cools, separates in flocks, leaving the water wholesome, and nearly free from taste or smell. The same purification takes place when the. water is filtered through charcoal, or when chips of oak wood are put into it. These properties of being coagulated by boiling, and by the tannin of oak wood, show that the organic matter contained in the water is of an albuminous character, or resembles white of egg. As it coagulates, it not only falls itself, but it carries other impurities along with it, and thus purifies the water—in the same way as the white of egg clarifies wines and other liquors to which it is added. Such is the character of the waters in common use in the Landes of the Gironde around Bordeaux, and in many other sandy districts. The waters of rivers, and of marshy and swampy places, often contain a similar coagulable substance. Hence the waters of the Seine at Paris are clarified by intro- ducing a morsel of alum, and the river and marshy waters of India by the use of the nuts of the Strychnos potatorum, of which travellers often carry a supply. One or two of these nuts, rubbed to powder on the side of the earthen vessel into which the water is to be poured, soon causes the impurities to subside. In Egypt, the muddy water of the Nile is clarified by rubbing bitter almonds on the sides of the water-vessel in the same way. In all these instances the principle of the clarifi- cation is the same. The albuminous matter is coagulated by what is added to the water, and in coagulating it embraces the other impurities of the water, and carries them down along with it.. These cases, and especially that of the sandy Landes of Boideaux, and elsewhere, throw an interesting light upon the waters of the Marah, as given in the fifteenth chapter of Exodus. "So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea ; and they- went out into the wilderness of Shur ; and they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. And when they came..to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah; for they were bitter : therefore the name of it was called Marsh. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink And he cried unto the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree, which, when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet."—Professor Johns- ton's Chemistry of Common Life. -

FRIDAY. After some conversation between the Law Lords on thejudi- cial business of the House, the Earl of DERBY mowed the second reading of the Religious Worship (No. 2) Bill, •and, having regretted the refusalof 'the Earl of Shaftesbury to-serve on the select committee to which the Religious Worship (No. 1.) Bill had been referred, proceeded to explain the reasons which had induced that committee to frame the present measure, which would be found to relieve all denominations of Christians, Dissenters as well as members of the Churclrof England, from the possible operation of existing penal statutes. He was sorry to learn that the'Earl of Shaftesbury intendedto oppose the bill. The Earl of FiIrAYTESBURY replied that his reason for declining to servecon the committee was =his unwillingness to share in the responsibility of recommendations which he 'felt would be adverse-to his measure. The ndble lordthen entered into an examination of the clauses of 'the new bill, which, instead of relaxing, only tightened the reins of our ecclesias- tical system, and, in' conclusion, moved that it be read a second time that day three months. The Archbishop of CAN TERBrior, iihile giving the 'Earl of Shaftesbury ffill,credit for the best intentions, thought 'that his zeal carried ,him to the verge of !intolerance. His own desire was thatneither bill should pass into law.—After-some further discussion, in which the Bishop of London, Lord Shaftesbury, Lord Derby, the Bishop of Oxford, and Lord Granville took peat, the bill was withdrawn. The Assines and Sessions Bill, and the Friendly SoCieties Bill were read a third time and passed. The Court of Exchequer (Ireland) ;Bill, the Stock iin Trade Bill, and the Copyhold, &c., Continuance Bill, were (read a second time. The House adjourned at a quartergast 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. TUESDAY. The Speaker took the chair a few minutes after noon. rho no— •wv-wl- into Prantrifft, nn laic lu.trnpolis Local Management Bill, and discussed the remaining clauses. On an amendment proposed by Lord EnnmeTox, he said it would be perfectly absurd to divide in so small a house (there were about 1(3 members present) on a question affecting:2;6oo,ooo people; he would therefore, withdraw the amendment. The House went into committee •on the Passengers Act Amendment Bill, and clauses 1 to'l3•were agreed to. In reply to Admiral Walcot, Lord tRA.LMERSTON said the Order of the Bath would be conferred without reference to the projected Order of Merit, and that,ity the cases of recom- mendations for-the Order of the Bath`, in which death ,shonld intercept it, -the names of the parties would be published, with a record of -the recommendation and of the reason why •the order was not actually conferred. THE LATE LORD RAGLAN.—The house having •resolved itself into a-committee, and the message-of Her Majesty with reference for the family of the late Lord Raglan having; been read, Lord PALMERSTON said it was his intention- to propose, in furtherance of Her- Majesty's wishes, that a pension of £l,OOO a-year- should be granted to Lady Raglan, and £2,000 a-year to the present Lord Raglan, with remainder to his-son. It was unnecessary to expatiate upon the merits of the late Lord Raglan, whose whole life had been devoted to the service of his country, and-who bore in his person a visible token of his readiness to expose his life upon the field of battle. When the command- of the army now in the Crimea was offered tc him he might have declined it, on the plea-of. advancing age and important duties at home ; but, with the.spirit of a soldier, he did not hesitate an;instant in making every personal• sacri- fice to the call of duty to his country and his.sovereign. He had in this command-to-contend with the greatest difficulties; and, although -he had the satisfaction at last of seeing himself at the head of one of- the most magnificent armies that had ever quitted the British -shore, it must have caused a severe pang to a heart like his-to find that his brilliant-hopes could not be realised. In addition to his gallantry, his other qualities peculiarly fitted;him for the situation in whiehle was placed. The gentleness of his nature, his conciliatory disposition, and his consideration for the feelings of others conttihnted to knit in the bonds of companionship two armies which had hitherto known each other, only as opponents in the field efibattle. He moved resolutions to give effect to his proposition.—The mo- tion was seconded lby Mr. I)IERA ELI, who, in on eloquent tribute to the late lord, observed that his qualities wereremark- able, and that it might be doubted whether they could be sup- plied by any of his -successors in command.--Several other members having addressed-the house in eulogy of the deceased general, the resolutions were agreed to nem. con. The house was shortly after counted out, while Mr. ;Rich was moving a resolution on the-subject of army promotions.

SPIRIT OF " DIOGENES." WHAT SAYS PAUL?—It appears that the members of a "Nice Firm," which has lately evaporated in the Strand, are to be rescued by some obsolete clause. We conceive it to be anything but poetical justice that, while the depredators are sheltered by a clause, their victims are undefended from their clutches. LOOK ON THIS PICTURE, AND ON THAT.—The number of cheap pictorial papers which are being eventuated will go far to prove that the recent alteration in the newspaper law will not be wanting in illustration, A Lady, whose pocket has lately suffered very much from feline breakages, wishes to know whether the " Plate Glass Company" insures plates and glasses. GENERAL PELISSIEB AN IRISHMAN.—Yes : we knew they would—the Irish claim him. The newspapers inform us that " the Irish claim General Pelissier as the son of a countryman. It is said that his father was a Limerick gentleman, a Mr. Pelissier, who was obliged to fly from Ireland during the troubles of 1798." Of course. It is notorious that from Ad- miral Noah down to Admiral Lyons all the celebrated com- manders by sea and land—all the sages, artists, orators,— indeed, all the really great men have had Irish men for their mothers, and Irish girls for their fathers. That is to say— well, you know what we mean. Was not Confucius—his real name was Conway—a boy from Galway, who, emigrating during the troubles (and there always were troubles in the old country), went to China and set up a paper ? Is not the appel- lative " Grecian," as applied to Milesians, derivable from Alexander the Great, whose parents were of the stock of the Grady's, corrupted into Great-y or Great ? But why these interrogatives ? Assertion, simply assertion, is all that is needed for such undoubted Irish claims. St. Dunstan (query Donovan) was an Irishman. So was Admiral Blake. The Blakes are all Irish. Raffaelle's real name was O'Rafferty. Michael (Mike) Angelo was from Cork. It is beyond dispute that Homer is only O'Meara misspelt. Ossian was a an O'Shehan, Sully an O'Sullivan, Christopher Columbus was originally a Dublin clerk, by name Kit Dove, or Duffy, which he, according to the prevalent practice, latinised into Colum- bus in the same way as Linnaeus did his of Lin, or O'Lin. It is a sin against Ireland to spell Raleigh otherwise than Reilly; and, coming to more modern days, what was Cavaignac but a Cavanagh, Lamartine but a Martin, La Moriciere but a Morris? Is not the charming Empress Eugenie a sprig from the genu- ine shamrock ? And, coming to a name which unites antiquity with to-day—splicing the old rough with the modern debon- naire—amalgamating the sublime penetration of the Cynic of the porch with the acumen of the Reform Club critic—to that of Diogenes, who can doubt that Irish blood is at the bottom of the whole business ? What wonder, then, that Pelissier, now that he is the talk of town and country, is claimed for an Irishman; but let the General beware. Men are to be Irish no longer than they are famous. If, in the end, he tarnishes the brightness of his present glory, and fails to take Sebastopol, a paragraph is in store for him—like a rod in pickle•—in which it will be proved, clear as mud, that it was all a mistake, and that there was nothing Irish about him. FOOTPRINTS of famous men, by one who has had to clean after them ; which, goodness knows ! they're dirty enough, and never half wipe their feet in the mat. A PARLIAMENTARY T(O)UTOR.—That we are in want of an improved race of Politicians few will deny. In fact, if we took the same pains in the rearing of " Hon." members as we do with our Cochin Chinas, there is no doubt but that am im- proved race would be the result. Birds with less of the goose, and more of' the fighting cock in them—birds, in fact, whose sittings would be far more profitable. We were led to make the above profound reflection by the perusal of the following advertisement, copied from Tuesday's Times :—PoLmcs.— Any gentleman whose ambition leads him to public life, and

THURSDAY. On the motion of Lord St. LRONARDS, further returns were ordered of the number of convicts who had received tickets of leave. The Marquis of BREADALBANE reported that their lord- ships' address, in answer to Her Majesty's message respecting provision to be made for the widow and son of the late Lord Raglan, had been most graciously received. RECRUITING FOR THE ARMY.—The Earl of ELLENEO- - urged many objections to the proposed plan for giving double pay to the soldiers on service in the Crimea. He expressed a preference for the introduction of some relax- ation in the existing restrictions upon enlistment, which he considered uselessly stringent, as well as in the present regu- lations respecting allowances, stoppages, and other arrange- ments whose effects were harassing or injurious to the men.— Lord PANMITRE, defended the plan of the Government, but intimated his consent to a modification by which the soldiers would be permitted to receive at once sixpence out of the additional shilling of pay per diem in the character of a field allowance. _ The School Grants (Security for Application) Bill was read a second time.—The Accidents on Railways Bill was reported with amendments.—The Union Charges Act Continuance Bill was read a third time and passed. NAVAL CADETS.—The Earl of HA.RDWICEE called atten- tion to the deficient provision now made for the instruction of naval cadets in the Royal Service. He suggested the re- establishment of the Navy College existing in 1832.—Earl GRANVILLE intimated that some communications had been exchanged with the First Lord of the Admiralty on the subject, and without making any pledge as to the suggested college, stated that the number of naval instructors employed in the service would be materially increased.—The subject dropped, and their lordships adjourned at a quarter to 7 o'clock.

LITERARY EXTRACTS. AMONGST the many secondary supports which keep us from utter ruin in this world, perhaps none are more powerful, or more deeply to be lamented when lost, than taste.—Cleve Hall. POWER OF LOVELY WOMEN.—How little do lovely women know what awful beings they are in the eyes of inexperienced youth ! Young men brought up in the fashionable circles of our cities will smile at this. Accustomed to mingle incessantly in female society, and to have the romance of the heart deadened by a thousand frivolous flirtations, women are nothing but women in their eyes ; but to a susceptible youth like myself, brought up in the country, they are divinities. ---Washington Irving. THE PRAYER-8008.--I did not carry with me here the book I brought from Glasgow, and trusted my reading to such as I could find when I came, and the one I fell upon was the English Prayer-book, with 'which I was greatly edified and refreshed all yesterday. It will determine me, I think, to have a great deal more reading of the Bible introduced into my public ministration. The prayers, and, with the exception of two flaws—one in the burial and the other in the baptismal service—all the other devout compositions are very admirable, and I do regard the whole com- position as an interesting monument of the piety and sound intelligent Christianity of better days.---Dr. Chalmers. - THERE are three kinds of distress founded on the passions, which, if not applauded, are at least admired in their excess, as implying a peculiar refinement of sensibility in the mind of the sufferer. Embellished by taste, and wrought by the magic of genius into innumerable forms, they turn grief into a luxury; and draw from the eyes of millions delicious tears. Nor can I reckon it among the improvements of the pre- sent age, that, ,by the multiplication of works of fic- tion, the attention is diverted from scenes of real to to those of imaginary distress ; from the distress which demands relief, to that which admits of embel- lishment ; in consequence of which the understanding is enervated, the head is corrupted, and those feelings which were designed to stimulate active benevolence are employed in nourishing a sickly sensibility.•-- Robert Hall. CEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STAN A TRAIT OF THE TRAGIC MUSE.—" The gods do not bestow such a face as Mrs. Siddons' on the stage more than once in a century. I knew her very well, and she had the good sense to laugh heartily at my jokes ; she was an excellent person, but she was not remark- able out of her profession, and never got out of tragedy even in common life. She used to stab the potatoes." —Memoirs of Sydney Smith' EVERYTHING is valuable which tends to elevate the tone of our habitual intercourse with each other ; everything is valuable which supplies a source of quiet thought, and soothes and refreshes the mind from the inevitable disquietudes and disappointments, which at one time or another, if not at most times, form so large a portion of every earthly lot. . . . There is a close affinity between refined occupation and purity of mind. The cultivation of taste goes hand-in-hand with the abhorrence of coarseness.---Early Influence. A LADY A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.—In the Har- leian MSS., 980, fol. 153, is the following curious entry :—" The Countess of Richmond, mother of Henry VII., was a Justice of the Peace. Mr. Attorney said if it was so, it ought to have been by commission, for which he had made many an hower search for the record, but could never find it ; but he had seen many arbitriments that were made by her. Justice Joanes affirmed that he had often heard from his mother of the Lady Bartlet, mother to the Lord Bartlet, that she was a Justice of the Peace, and did sit usually upon the Bench with the other Justices in Gloucester- shire • that she was made so by Q. Mary upon her complaint to her of the injuries she sustained by some of that county, and desiring for redresses thereof, that as she herself was Chief Justice of all England, so this lady might be in her own county, which ac- cordingly the Queen granted. Another example was alleged of one Rowse, in Suffolk, who usually at the assizes and sessions there held set upon the Bench among the Justices gladio cincta." RUSSIA FULL OF -SLAVERY.---The air of Russia is heavy and thick with slavery. Man cannot breathe the breath of freedom there and live. And it is not mere political slavery, but religious slavery, social slavery, physical slavery ; of all these Russia is alike full. In Poland, which is a Roman Catholic country, the Virgin Mary was wont to be called " The Queen of Heaven." But this was regarded by Nicholas as an interference with the divine prerogative of the Czar; accordingly the Polish liturgy was ordered to be burnt as heretical ; and the Polish priests who refused to conform, were first'degraded and then shot ! Thus, even heaven itself is forbidden to interfere with Russian Czarism. The Catechism used by the govern- ment schoolmasters and priests in Poland,. contains these awful words---" The people must submit to the decrees of his (the Czar's) justice, according to the example of Christ, who died on the Cross." M. de Lammenais observes on this, that "it has been per- mitted to this man to enlarge to the farthest extent the limits of blasphemy."---Mann's Encroachments of Russia. HINTS ON LETTER.-WRITING.---In common, every- day life, the cleverest people do not write the best let- ters. Those whose intellectual powers and attainments seem almost below mediocrity, are often the most agreeable correspondents. Perhaps we admit gossip in this form, though we should turn from it in any other. But the subject cannot be analyzed : it is an art, " unteachable, untaught." A delicate regard to the feelings and situations of others, a lively perception of the amusing, an entire absence of affectation in sen- timent and manner, an individuality apart from ego- tism, and a strong determination to abide by what is true in thought and affection, may be suggestions to those who find any difficulty in letter-writing. Above all considerations, it should ever be before us, that this mode of communicating with others involves a deep responsibility, inasmuch as it is a great means of use- fulness. We are often able to write that which, from difficulty of position, or feebleness of frame, from in- firmity, or some other cause, we are unable to speak. When the tongue fails, the pen is often eloquent. It was said of an ancient worthy, that he never wrote a letter that had not something good and useful in it ; an example that all may remember with profit.---Front Home Thoughts. THE GREAT Boox.--Two friends, represented as conversing together on the Bible, held the following language :---" Shakspeare : Do you call him earnest ? For even now I read him with as much satisfaction as IARD. almost any author. But, while unmindful of the Scriptures ; fol very properly called not a book Book. The reasons for this yoi do.

Admiral Sir Charles Eking, G.C.8., died on Monday last, at the extreme age of 87 years. The EARL Oi DERBY had audience of Her Majesty on Thursday, to present an address from the University of Oxford. THE DUKE or NEWCASTLE has arrived at Vienna, en route to the Crimea. IT is understood that the Emperor of the French has writ- ten to Lady Raglan, in which more than ordinary feeling is displayed. _ Mr.WILLEs, of the Home Circuit, was, on Tnesday, sworn in as one of Her Majesty's judges, in the room of Mr. Justice Motile, retired, before the Lord Chancellor, at the House of Lords, in his private room. _ _ . The' Press; of Vienna mentions a rumour to the abet that Lord Westmoreland is likely not to return to Vienna, and that the Hon. Mr. Elliott, a near relative by marriage of Lord John Russell, is to succeed him. _ APPROACIIING MARRIAGE vs HIGH LIFE.—A matrimo- nial alliance will shortly take place, between Lord Muncaster and Lady Jane Grosvenor, daughter of the Marquis of West- minster. Viscotricr CANNING is appointed Governor-general of India, in the room of the Earl of Dalhousie, who will return to England before the end of the year. Lord Canning was Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs from 1841 to 1848, and has been Postmaster-General since the formation of the Aber- deen Administration, in January, 1853. On FRIDAY, an address was issued by Mr. E. Wodehouse, M.P., announcing his immediate retirement from the repre- sentation of East Norfolk, on account of impaired health. Simultaneously with this intimation appeared an address from Mr. H. Stracey, of Rackheath Hall, as a candidate for the vacant interest. On seat on the Conservative , Order of Saturday, Her Majesty held an investiture of me of the Bath, when decorations were conferred on the follow- ing :—Duke of Cambridge, Admiral Dandas, Sir de Lacy Evans, Earl of Cardigan, Earl of Lucan, Colonel Shiel, E.1.C.5., Major Maude, Hon. Colonel Upton, Sir Thomas Troubridge, Lord John Hay, R.N. In the evening Her Majesty and Prince Albert, with the Royal children dined at the Crystal Palace, after promenading the building. The Bath Chronicle records the death in that city of the Marquis of Thomond. His lordship had in early life seen much active service in the navy, and had attained to the rank of admiral, but for the last thirty years he has lived retired in Bath. His lordship has left no issue, and the Marquisate will become extinct, but the Barony Of Inchiquin descends to Sir Lucius O'Brien, Bart., of Dromoland, County Clare; or, as some allege, to Mr. Smith O'Brien, the Irish exile, brother to Sir Lucius.. On Monday, Miss Coutts gave a juvenile party at her villa, Holly Lodge, Highgate. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary, and the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg Strelitz, accompanied by her son, Prince Adolphe, honoured the reunion with their pre- sence. The Duke and Duchess d'Aurnanle were also present. The Rajah of Coorg, the Nawaub of Surat, and the Princes Gholam Mahumed and Feroze Shah, were among the guests. PRINCE ALBERT went to Earlswood, Red-hill, on Tuesday morning, to open the Asylum for Idiots. In the afternoon His Majesty the King of the Belgians arrived at Buckingham Palace, from Osted, on a visit to the Queen. His Majesty was accompanied by the Princess Charlotte of Belgium and the Count de Flanders, and suite. The King quitted Ostend at six o'clock in the morning, crossed to Dover, travelled.cklayers' by a special train on the South-Eastern Bailor*" to the Bricklayers Arms Station, where they were met by Prince Albfrt, and afterwards proceeded in four of and PQriuneceenscarnaganeds to Buckingham Palace. The Queen . Albert, the King of the Belgians, took a drive. in an open landau and four and Her Majesty had a dinner party in the in the afternoon, evening.

FRIDAY. After some conversation between the Law Lords on thejudi- cial business of the House, the Earl of DERBY moved the second reading of the Religious Worship (No. 2) Bill, and, having regretted the refusal of the Earl of Shaftesbury to serve on the select committee to which the Religious Worship (No. 1.) Bill had been referred, proceeded to explain the reasons which had induced that committee to frame the present measure, which would be found to relieve all denominations of Christians, Dissenters as well as members of the Church of England, from the possible operation of existing penal statutes. He was sorry to learn that the Earl of Shaftesbury intended to oppose the bill. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY replied that his reason for declining to serve on the committee was his unwillingness to share in the responsibility of recommendations which he felt would be adverseto his measure. The noble lordthen entered into an examination of the clauses of the new bill, which, instead of relaxing,only tightened the reins of our ecclesias- tical system, and, in conclusion, moved that it 'be read a second time that day three months. • The Archbishop of CANTERBURY, while giving the Earl of Shaftesbury fall credit for the best intentions, thought that his zeal carried him to the verge of intolerance. His own desire was that neither bill should pass into law.—After some further discussion in which the Bishop of London, Lord Shaftesbury, Lord Derby, the Bishop of Oxford, and Lord Granville took part,the bill was withdrawn. The Assizes and Sessions Bill, and the Friendly Societies Bill were read a third time and passed. The Court of Exchequer (Ireland) Bill, the Stock in Trade Bill, and the Copyhold, &c., Continuance Bill, were .read a second time. The House adjourned at a quarter past 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. TUESDAY. The Speaker took the chair a few minutes 'after noon. "rne 'louse went into committee on the Metropolis Local Management Bill, and discussed the remaining clauses. On an amendment proposed by Lord EnnINGTON, he said it would be perfectly absurd to divide in so small a house (there were about 16 members present) on a question :affecting 2,600,000 people ; he would therefore, withdraw the amendment. The House went into committee on the Passengers Act Amendment Bill, and clauses 1 to 13 were agreed to. In reply to Admiral Walcot, Lord PALMERSTON said the Order of the Bath would be conferred without reference to the projected Order of Merit, and that, in the eases of recom- mendations for the Order of the Bath in which death should intercept it, the names of the parties would be published, with a record of the recommendation and of the reason why the order was not actually conferred. THE LATE LORD RAGLAN.—The house having resolved itself into a committee, and the message of Her Majesty with reference to the family of the late Lord Raglan having been read, Lord PALMERSTON said it was his intention to propose, in furtherance of Her Majesty's wishes, that a pension of £l,OOO a-year should be granted to Lady Raglan, and £2,000 a-year to the present Lord Raglan, with remainder to his son. It was unnecessary to expatiate upon the merits of the late Lord Raglan, whose whole life had been devoted to the service of his country, and who bore in his person a -visible token of his readiness to expose his life upon the field of battle. When the command of the army now in the Crimea was offered to him he might have declined it, on the plea of advancing age and importantduties at horse ; but, with the spirit of a soldier, he did not hesitate an instant in making every personal sacri- fice to the call of duty to his country and his sovereign. He had in this command to contend with the greatest difficulties ; and, although he had the satisfaction at last of seeing himself at the head of one of the most magnificent armies that had ever quitted the British shore, it must have caused a severe pang to a heart like his to find that his brilliant hopes could not be realised. In addition to his gallantry, his other qualities peculiarly fitted him for the situation in which he was placed. The gentleness of his nature, his conciliatory disposition, and his consideration for the feelings of others contributed to knit in the bonds of companionship two armies which had hitherto known each other only as opponents in the field of battle. He moved resolutions to give effect to his proposition.—The mo- tion was seconded by Mr. DISRAELI, who, in an eloquent tribute to the late lord, observed that his qualities were remark- able, and that it might be doubted whether they could be sup- plied by any of his successors in eommand.—Several other members having addressed the house in eulogy of the deceased general, the resolutions were agreed to menk con. The house was shortly after counted out, while Mr. Rich was moving a resolution on the subject of army promotions.

Above them, again, were a series of stages, supported by ricketty wooden posts. Each stage was capable of containing two or three occupants, and the only means of access the latter possessed was by " swarm- ing "up the posts, to use a school-boy's term. In one corner of the loft there was a small room screened off; this was the land-office; and as we have devoted ourselves to describing our first impression of Superior in its external aspect, a visit to the land-office will afford us a good opportunity of learning something more of its present condition and future prospects. A TABLE D' ROTE. The table d'lz6te was quite in keeping with the hotel in which it was given. Twenty or thirty rough fellows, in red flannel shirts, and knives and pistols stuck in their girdles, sat round the massive table, to wash down a great quantity of hard salt pork with brandy, and garnish their conversation, of which they were very chary, with a singular variety and quantity of oaths. Indeed, so frequently and unappropriately are they lugged into the common parlance of backwoodsmen, that it is at "first very difficult to understand anything that is said; and as, even when used as an embel- lishment in civilized conversation, they do not give one a very high estimate of the sense of the speaker, when they also interfere with the sense of the sentence, familiar intercourse with the denizens of the West is neither profitable nor attractive. There was a judge at dinner, who was a singular instance of this ; and if his decisions were framed in such blasphemous terms as his talk, it would have been morally impossible for his suitors to understand him, unless they had undergone a special education for the purpose. He was seeking rest from his judicial labours by a little "prospecting," and had determined to employ his holidays by doing a stroke of business in the copper line. To judge by his appearance he had been a good deal in the bowels of the earth, and had not washed himself since he had started on his explorations. However, it was -difficult' to account for the filth and shabbi- ness of his attire, for he had with him an unusually large portmanteau, in which he was always burrowing, competent to contain a sufficient supply of clothes for the most fastidious. Upon one occasion, however, when a group was collected near this mysterious receptacle, he suddenly opened it, and dis- played- an enormous bundle, on the top of which were sprinkled a few dirty socks and collars, and which on being untied were found to contain bright specimens of copper, with which he was returning to his native State to induce his friends to advance the funds necessary for his purposes. A second letter to Eusebius, on "Once upon a time," is a pleasantly-written running commentary on a great many things. The following is but too true a picture of

CORN. :LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 7.—There was a pretty good attendance of buyers at our market this morning; millers took off a fair quantity of foreign wheat at the extreme rates of Tuesday, and in some instances the currency of that day was slightly exceeded; our neighbouring farmers offered a tolerable number of samples of new wheat, the quality various, but in fine condition; high rates being asked, however, the whole was not cleared off. Flour was sold more readily, a parcel of Spanish was taken for France, and we raise our quotations fully 6d. per sack. Beans are in request at an improvement of 6d. per qr., but barley is a slow sale without variations in prices.—Old oats and oatmeal, from scarcity, rather exceed their previous value, and the same remarks apply to new of each article. Indian corn has met with very little attention to-day, the sales are quite in retail at Tuesday's rates, the hest yellow American being quotable at 40s, and mixed at 395. 6d. per 4901b5. BRITISH.

Our market to-day 'Nvas well attended, and business was tolerably active. Wheat advanced 3d per bushel. Flour fetched the full prices of our last market day, and was in good request. Oats were remarkably scarce, and 3(1 per bushel higher. Beans were also is per quarter dearer. In other articles there was no material change. WAKEFIELD, SEPT. 7.—01 d wheat met a fair sale at 2s per- quarter advance. The quantity on offer was limited. New wheat still sells relatively dear, and come to hand sparingly. Ila! ley and beans were rather higher. In oats and shelling there was no change. - - - - - WISBECH, SEPT. B.—We have had another week of fine harvest weather, and something more than half the crop is secured in good condition. At market to-day we had only a limited show of new wheat; the quality is better than was anticipated, but the yield is stated to be deficient. There was also a few large lots of old wheat on offer, and for all qualities of both new and old, the farmers asked an advance of 2s to 3s, which was reluctantly com- plied with by the bu ers. No oats offering. Beans Is dearer. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, SEPT. B.—At this day's market there was a very small supply of farmers' wheat, which was quickly disposed of at an advance of 2s per quarter on the terms of this day week. South country and foreign are generally held for high prices, and where sales are made a similar advance of 2s is obtained. Norfolk red 82s to 83s, Greifswald and Wolgast 83s to 848, Danish 80s per quarter. Increased demand for rye for exportation, and prices is to 2s per quarter dearer; stocks very trifling, and held for 30s to 32s per quarter. Grinding barley and beans in good request, and Is per quarter higher. Peas folly as dear. Of oats the supply is small, demand brisk, and fine sam- ples rather dearer—some 40ilbs. Danish sold at 328 per quarter. CORK, SEPT. B.—The flour trade, with only a moderate con- sumption, firmly maintains late prices; any advance demanded stops sales. Foreign wheat is hld for a further advance of 6d to Is per barrel,—market firm. Indian corn has slow sale at a slight reduction. The price of new wheat has again advanced, millers having to compete with shippers for prime samples, the condition and quality of which are very good. Oats receded 2d per barrel. • DUBLIN, SEPT. 7.—The supply of new corn at market to-day was even smaller than on Tuesday. Oats and bere were 6d dearer. Rapeseed brought an advance of ts, and other descriptions of grain were taken at our last quotations. There was rather more demand for Indian corn and old wheat at fully late prices.

AN EYPLICIT ADDRESS.—One day last week a letter passed the Hereford post-office with the following singular address :—" For that girl I don't no her name they cals the galoper' and lives somewhere in Bowsey-lane Hereford Here- fordshire. Shurs don't give this to any girl but that girl." The letter reached its destination, the fair one for whom it was intended:being known by this soubriquet to the police. ON Monday, after an existence of many centuries, the once renowned fair of St. Bartholomew expired. No proclamation took place, nor was the ancient court of pied poudre for the hearing and determining disputes arising in the fair held; the " Saints' Bell," in Old St. Bartholomew's Church, which has for time immemorial sounded only on the proclamation of the fair, was silent, and its occupation is now gone. CURIOSITIES OF LIFE ASSULANCE.—A correspondent of a contemporary says :—We have a company professing so high an idea of homoeopathic principles, that it stipulates, pro- vided the assured be treated homoeopathically, that five per cent. be deducted from the premiums. There is also a com- pany where parties attending to assure their lives have the advantage of a reading room and refreshments—an excellent arrangement, for after sandwiches and sherry one feels less inclined to dispute the rate of premium, even if it be a little high. Mn. BETTS, of the firm of Peto, Brassy, and Betts, states respecting the Crimea, that since the formation of the line it has been doubled, and is now being effectually drained and ballasted for the winter work. General Simpson, in reply to Lord Panmure's inquiries as to the condition of the line on the 19th ult., states :—" The present railway is on the best site that can be obtained, and when effectually drained and ballasted. which is being done, will be quite free from floods." Lord Panmure has sent out 150 more carriages, to replace those which have been in constant work, as they require it from time to time. RAILWAY CAPITAL.—It appears from a return recently issued that the 103 bills promoted by railway companies in the late session of Parliament were for raising £21,605,796, in- cluding £5,048,288 on loan; but only 77 of them received the Royal Assent, authorising the raising of £15,851,486, of which £4,504,938 is to be raised on loan. In the session of 1854 it was proposed to raise £26,919,551 for railway purposes, but Parliament granted powers to raise £14,096,234, including £3,320,159 on loan. In the session of 1853, powers were sought to raise £38,493,119 by various railway bills, but only £19,131,674 of that amount was authorised to be raised, in- cluding £4,223,398 on loan ; and in the session of 1852 powers were sought by railway companies to raise £14,714,635, but only £8,471,687 of that amount was authorised to be raised. Powers were sought by railway companies in the four sessions above mentioned to raise in the aggregate £101,733,081, but of this amount £57,551,051 was authorised to be raised, being not much more than half the amount for which powers were sought. STATISTICS OF ICE.—It is just fifty years since the idea of dispensing ice to the southern latitudes entered the brain of a Boston merchant, Mr. Tudor. It was a thoroughly worthy notion of a solid man of that city of notions. For twenty years considerable disappointment, with various success, at- tended his efforts, but ultimately his persistency and activity furnished the southern States and the West Indies with the frozen delicacy, and a lucrative business opened up. In 1834 the East Indies and Brazil became his business clients. Other large houses engaged in the ice farming in Massachusetts and New York, and at present the value of the ice farms of these States fully equals, if it does not exceed, the value of the rice crop of Georgia. Boston chiefly supplies the southern parts with ice, and in its ice-home there were 300,000 tons stored last year:- In New York nearly the entire crop of ice is used at home. In Boston there are between 2,000 and 3,000 per- sons employed in the business season. In New York the amounfirlricasllie exportation is little. About 9,000 per- , sons are employed in the entire States by ice, and it is com- puted that a capital of over $6,000,000 is invested in New York Daily Times. FARMERS AND THEIR SERVANTS.—A case of some im- portance to agriculturists and others engaging servants was tried at the Bridport and Beaminster Division Petty Sessions, held at Beaminster on Monday last week. The party sum- moned in this case was Frederick Clarke, charged with leaving the service of Mr. Richard Garland, of Hyde Farm, near Brid- port. The defendant was a hardy lad, apparently about 16 years old, and hacl worked for the plaintiff some years. On the 11th of August he left the service of Mr. Garland, without notice, and on the following Monday was engaged by another farther. Being in the midst of harvest, the lad's service was valuable, and he therefore summoned him. Mr. Garland admitted that when he engaged him he took him as a weekly servant, and agreed.to pay him so much a week; he had not considered it necessary to tell him that he should expect a week's notice on his leaving, as he thought that both master and man were legally compelled to give and receive a week's notice. The bench, however, decided that the lad completed his contract every Saturday night, and his employer could not compel him to return on the Monday. On the other hand, the farmer may summarily dismiss the man on the Monday morning without notice, and without there being any claim on him for compensation. If, however, there be a boncifide agree- ment to give and receive a week's notice, that is a contract of another nature. The case, therefore, was dismissed. THE NEW GOVERNOR or ADELAIDE.—The most interest- ing event that has lately transpired in this colony during the last three weeks has been the arrival of his Excellency Sir Richard Graves M`Donnell, our newly-appointed governor. We announced in our last summary that Mr. Beresford, his excellency'so napnrkis, directsecretary,vatefromgl EhnAl aaanrrd, and that Sir ived,withhisfamily, in the Richard had reached Melbourne in the mail packet Blue Jacket, and was daily expected in Adelaide. His Excellency embarked for Port Adelaide on board the screw steamer Burnt Burra, on the 19th of May. The unusually long time that elapsed without any tidings of this vessel tended to create considerable uneasiness as to its safety, the more so as it was known that gales, equal if not greater in violence than any ever known before on the coast, had been blowing continuously for several days. On Thursday, June 7, however, the signal for a steamer in sight was hoisted at the signal station, and great was the clearly made out to be the Burra Burra. She ' reached the port about sunset, and came to anchor amid the cheers and rejoicings of the inhabitants there. Her long passage had been owing, as was expected, to the boisterous weather en- countered, especially on the South Australian coast. On the 25th of May she was off the sea mouth of the Murray, when, a slight accident happening to her machinery, and being short of fuel, she bore up under canvass for Portland, which port was reached on the 2d of June. A fresh supply of coals was laid in there, and she left on the 4th of June, reaching Port Adelaide, as before stated, on the 7th of June. Sir Richard M`Donnell remained on board all .night. On the following morning he landed, when he met with a hearty reception, and was afterwards installed in due form.—South Australian Re#ister of June 23. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.—The select committee of the Lords, to inquire into the best mode of obtaining accurate agricultural statistics from all parts of the kingdom, have re- ported that, in consequence of the want of these statistics, great inconvenience and injury has been sustained by all classes, because we have never known what quantity of foreign grain we should annually require for home consumption. France, Holland, Belgium, and the United States, had more or less perfectly organised systems for obtaining this informa- tion ; and, from time to time, such statistics had been col- lected from some of the English counties, successfully, by the inspectors of the Poor-law Board. As regards England and Wales, the committee recommended that the officers of the various unions should be employed, once a year, to deliver and collect schedules, in which should be enumerated the average under each description of crop, an accurate return of stock (cattle), and an approximate estimate of the produce of the harvest. The schedules having been collected, it is proposed that they should be classified by each union, and returned to the Poor-law Board, for a national table to be compiled from them. With regard to Scotland, it is proposed to leave the matter entirely in the hands of the Highland Society, as here- tofore ; and, in Ireland, the existing machinery of the con- stabulary, under the superintendence of the Irish Registrar- General, is recommended to remain in force. A bill to em- power these recommendations to be carried out is proposed to be introduced into parliament during the ensuing session. THE TICHBORNE DOLE.—The family 'of. Tichborne date their possession of the present patrimony, the manor of Tich- borne, so far back as 200 years before the Conquest. When the Lady Mabella, worn out with age and infirmity, was lying on her deathbed, she besought her loving husband, as her last request, that he would grant her the means of leaving behind her a charitable bequest, in a dole of bread to be distributed to all who should apply for it annually on the Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Sir Roger, her husband, readily acceded to the request, by promising the pro- duce of as much land as she could go over in the vicinity of the park while a certain brand or billet war burning, sup- posing that, from her long infirmity (for sh sad been bed- ridden some years), she would be able to go round a small portion only of his property. The venerable dame, however, ordered her attendants to convey her to the corner of the park, where, being deposited on the ground, she seemed to receive a renovation of strength, and, to the surprise of her anxious and admiring lord, who began to wonder where this pilgrimage might end, she crawled round several rich and goodly acres. The field which was the scene of Lady Mabella's ectra- ordinary feat retains the name of "Crawls" to this -day. It is situated near the entrance of the park, and contains an area of 23 acres. Her task being completed, she was reconveyed to her chamber, and, summoning her family to her bedside, predicted its prosperity while the annual dole existed, and left her malediction on any of her descendants who should ever be so mean or covetous as to discontinue or divert it, prophesying that when such should happen the old house would fall and the family name would become extinct from the failure of heirs male, and that this would be foretold by a generation of seven sons being followed immediately after by a generation of seven daughters and no son. The custom thus founded in the reign of Henry H., continued to be observed for centuries ; and the 25th of March became the annual festive day of the family. It was not until the middle of the last century that the custom was abused; when, under pretence of attending Tichborne Dole, vagabonds, gipsies, and idlers of every description assembled from all quarters, pilfer- ing throughout the neighbourhood ; and, at last, the gentry and magistrates complaining, it was discontinued in 1796. Singularly enough, the baronet of the day had seven sons ; and, when he was succeeded by the eldest, there appeared a generation of seven daughters, and the apparent fulfimeut of the prophecy was completed by the change of the name of the late baronet to Doughty, under the will of his kinswoman.— Winchester Observer. SIR JAHEB GRAILA.II.—Sir James Graham is neither more nor less than a political infidel. The apostle of inconsistency, he wants the only quality which can redeem that creed. Un- like Canning or Peel—who although inconsistent were yet great—it is impossible to detect in the long career of Graham that element of real consistency which characterises a true statesman. No man can fail to discern the noble sympathies of Canning, even when he was following the chariot-wheels of Eldon, or to recognise Peel's principles of free-trade in his very measures to secure protection. Without the dignity of character or the scope of mind to originate a policy, Sir James Graham has been by turns everything, according to the humour of the chief whom for the moment he was content to follow. • His is not the mind to be possessed by a great idea, the wisdom of which, if he could only see it realised, he would willingly consent that the future should vindicate. No; Sir James Graham is a statesman without a policy, and, like the shallow stock jobber in Capel-court, his judgment is ruled by the rumour of the hour. With a base passion for power, heightened by a singular talent for administration (for all men delight to do that which they do well), conjoined with a mischievous indiscretion in the exercise of power more worthy of a schoolboy than a statesman, he is continually bringing unpopularity on himself and confusion on his colleagues. With a fixed determination to defend every .act of his ad- ministration, and to crush, if possible, any individual who attempts to question it, lie indulges in a boldness of assertion, which, though it would be admirable on the stage, becomes loathsome in the House of Commons. Let not Sir James suppose that his assertions as to the blockade of the Black Sea and the death of Captain Christie are yet forgotten.— Daily News.

August 24th. IVERPOOL ROYAL INFIRMARY.---It is J with much regret that'the Committee find themselves com- pelled to make an urgent APPEAL to the Public on behalf of this Institution. Owing to the serious diminution in the Income, from a falling off in Donations and Legacies, which amounted, in 1852, to £2,219; 1853, ..e1,315 ; 1854, £775; and the high prices of all Articles of Consumption, the past year closed with a heavy Debt of nearly £1,400, which is daily increasing, from the same causes being still in operation. Unless this be checked by timely suc- cour, no alternative will be left but to curtail the Relief hitherto afforded to the Sick and Disabled Poor of the community; a course much to be deprecated, and one from which the Committee hopefully trust the Public will spare them the necessity of re- sorting.

Improved under the experienced and extensive TVorkinq MILNERS' QUADRUPLE PATENTS, of SEALED 1840, 1851, 1854, AND 1855. The Strongest, Best, and Cheapest Safeguards in the world against Fire, Robbery, or Violence. With 'Miners' recently (double) Patented "Gunpowder-proof Solid Lock and Safe Door, without which no Safe in the hands of the Public is secure. NOTE. —All Milner's Holdfast Safes in use may be made com- plete with these " Improvements," and every information afforded on application as below. The attention of the Public is invited to the following Experi- ments (see Liverpool Mercury and Standard of following dates:) Liverpool, December Bth, 1834. " We hereby certify that we have this day witnessed some very highly satisfactory experiments at 'Miners' Phcenix Safe Works, proving the perfect security of their newly-patented `Gunpowder- proof Solid Locks and Safe Doors,' against attempts to force the same open with gunpowder ; the door of another safe, experi- mented upon, fitted with the open six-lever and detector lock, although of equal strength, being shattered and blown off by the explosion of the gunpowder introduced through the key-hole.— Wm. Brown, M.P. ; Joseph Boult ; William Rishton, Surveyor; Henry Hulme ; Joseph R. Beck; James Johnson, Deputy Chair- man of the Watch Committee; James Robertson, Ditto; J. J. Greig, Head-Constable; Robert Clough, In-door Superintendent; Benjamin Ride, Divisional-Superintendent ; Thomas Quick, Ditto; Joseph Bates, Detective-Inspector; Robert P. Thacker; John Willox ; and Samuel Moiser." MILNERS' PIRENIX (212°) SAFEWORKS, LIVERPOOL. The most extensive and complete in the world, employing from two to three hundred hands, assisted by powerful, original, and elaborate machinery and implements, adapted for every branch of the work; established for carrying out the important improve- ments under Milners' Quadruple Patents to the interior and ex- terior of their Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safes, and for supply- ing to the public the Strongest Safeguards against Fire, Robbery, or Violence extant, at the lowest prices consistent with the most perfect efficiency and security. CAUTlON.—Milners' Holdfast Safes are of three qualities— the cheapest superior to any other safes—and range under three Lists, namely, Milners' Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 2, at 10s. per foot; Milners' Strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 3, at 15s. per foot; Milners' First-class Strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 4, at 20a. per foot. The public are deceived by comparisons being made between the prices of the latter superb class of Milners' Safes and the inferior articles offered by incompetent makers to booksellers, ironmon- gers, brokers, or any others who will incur the serious responsibi- lity of selling them, which are really worthless articles, and dear at any price. What greater delusion than an unsafe Safe? SHOW ROOMS, 6 and 8, LORD-STREET, LIVERPOOL LONDON DEPOT, 47a, NIOORGATE.STREET. CITY.

Mr. E. begs to state thar, in producing a really good Daguer- reotype, a combination of appliances and favourable circum stances are required, deprived of which the Art sinks to the insignificance justly belonging to the very many wretched dis- torted abortions, claiming the name of Photographs, and are to be seen in almost every street. Mr. E.'s long practice in the above Art has resulted in the pro- duction of Portraits as much superior to the ordinary Photograph as the leading artist is to the street miniature painter. =-• Removed from 50, Bold-street, to Hime's New Music-113A. 80ld-street. rill °I ilOW:1 cave j 0 der vh- 1,,,F1 84R, N:14.41;1 ill be :tt t t tt 4te t‘ covets., of IhSf de I 1111 1011e3cr .ektP 10x ;e is th,114 th; 104 11:1( Per cto' l‘ti4Ntzt:(l 1., and II Loot A cket ottet gre.- 3 I,* LT. hI esdal. 004 4„ . tovier antic 4,,1„8

Two unlicensed stockbrokers at Paris have been sentenced to two years' imprisonment for swindling and betting upon the public funds. Niw Acx ow WEDDING RINGS.—Among the acts of the late session was one to except gold wedding rings from the operation-of the former act relating to the standard and silver wares, and from the exemptions contained in the acts relating to gold wares. Wedding rings are now required to be assayed and marked. _ Tzin-WW-n" DISEASE.—From Oporto, under date of the 30th ult., we learn that the vine disease has made rapid pro- gress, and in the Douro it was becoming as destructive as last year. It is expected that about the same quantity of wine will be made ; but, as the vintage will be a very late one, the quality will depend upon the state of the weather. A Hein CENTENARIAN.—George Stephenson has just died at Romaldkirk, near Barnard Castle, aged 105 years. He was an agricultural labourer, and famed as an early riser. He used, it is said, frequently to reprove his daughter and her husband, both of whom are upwards of 70 years, for indulging in }red so long in the mornings, though they invariably rose before 6 o'clock, telling them, if they would not work when young, what would they do when old ! ONE of the minor curiosities of Paris is the enormous vine which ornaments the court of a house in the Rue des Marais St. Germain. It is said to have been planted by Racine; and, supposing that he did it in the last year of his life, the vine must now be not less than 156 years of age, as that celebrated writer died in 1699. It is this year in an unusually flourishing condition, and covered with fine fruit. A NUMEROUS GANG of the London swell mob have made their appearance in Constantinople. They came from London, and finding an open field for their exploits, set to in earnest, robbing and swindling officers and sailors indiscriminately. Twelve vagabonds have been taken up, thanks to the active exertions of Major Hackett ; and the rest, supposed to be 70 in all, have dispersed, or are concealed. The culprits in custody are in irons, and will be sent to Malta for trial. SUICIDE IN A RAILWAY TRAIN.—On Thursday morning, a son of Dr. Payne, of Nottingham, committed suicide in a railway carriage, between Nottingham and Derby. He had taken a black silk handkerchief from his neck, and suspended himself from the ventilator at the top of the carriage-door. He had also taken off his shoes, and turned his trousers up to the knees. He was immediately cut down, and although life was apparently not extinct, he was beyond hope of recovery. WEAVING BY ELECTRICITY.—An invention that promises to create a revolution in the manufacture of silks, linens, cottons—in fact of all woven articles—has just been perfected here, and a specimen is now on its way to the Paris exhibition. This is the electric loom, invented by Cavaliere Bonelli, in- spector of telegraphs in the Sardinian States. Some time since I noticed to you his application of electricity to the jacquard loom, whereby he was enabled to dispense with cards, and much of the manipulation necessary for the old system of weaving ; but in the more perfected specimen now about to be exhibited, the inventor has added steam power to supersede manual labour, so that one intelligent workman may attend to many machines at the same time, and the operation of making all kinds of patterns will be as easy, cheap, and expeditious, as printing and knitting in different patterns is also performed with similar instruments.— Turin correspondent of the Times. THE ABORIGNIES or AIISTRALIA.—The last report of the Protector of the Aborignies has recently been published, but beyond testifying to the rapidly diminishing numbers of the native tribes, it claims little of an interesting character. The Adelaide tribe have returned to their winter quarters in and about town, occupying themselves by day in begging food and clothing, and by night in holding corobbories by their wurley fires. Archdeacon Hale, with unwearied perseverance, con- tinues his efforts at Port Lincoln, and speaks hopefully of the indications of some of his pupils. But the steady diappear- ance of the natives is what every report on their condition most uniformly points to, although everything is done that could promise to alleviate the discomforts of their condition. —Adelaide Register. TICKET or LEAVE CONVICTS.-0a Saturday a Return was issued which states that the Secretary of State is not in possession of any sufficient information to enable him to state the number of convicts with tickets of leave who are known to be now in employment or conducting themselves properly. It may, however, be stated that of 960 convicts released during the year ended 30th June last, 690 have made application at the end of the stipulated interval of three months after their discharge for the balance of the gratuity 'returned on their release, in accordance with the regulations, and that 684 of the number produced satisfactory testimonials of their gold conduct. Of the 270 who have not applied, the greater portion have not been at large the regulated period. Ninety- seven convicts who have received tickets of leave have been re-convicted of various crimes. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.•.- On Mondaya singular circum- stance happened to Thomas Malkin, while travelling by the 7 a.m. train from Hull to Sheffield. As the train was proceed- ing at a rapid rate between Kiveton-park and Woodhouse Junction, near to Aston colliery, Malkin, while leaning over the carriage door, found it giving way. He grasped the door, in his effort to save himself, but it swung open, and he was thrown with great force upon the opposite embankment. When the train arrived at the Victoria station information of the accident was given to Mr. Ward, the manager, and he immediately proceeded with a carriage and engine to the spot.

He was taken into the carriage, and it was foun that he had sustained no injury beyond a severe shock and a few slight bruises on his hands, back, and head.— Sheffield Iris. COLLISION AT SEA.—On Sunday morning the schooner Snowdrop, of Sunderland, Captain Adamson, while on her voyage down to Sunderland, timber laden, came into collision with the Charles of Lyme, three miles off Whitby. The Charles was seen at some distance by the crew of the Snow- drop, the wind blowing fresh at the time, and every effort was made to avoid her, but all their endeavours failed to avoid a collision. The vessels soon cleared each other, but quence of having lost herjib-boom, anstern damaged, the wreck of which impeded her movements. On looking for the Charles, it was found she had sunk, upon which the schooner's boat was instantly put out, and exer- tions made to save the crew, but only one man was found above water, the remainder of the hands, five in number, having perished. The Snowdrop has since arrived in Sunder- laud, with the solitary survivor of the ill-fated Charles ou board. • PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROM SIIIPWRECR.—On Thurs- day, a meeting of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was held at its offices, John-street, Adelphi, London, Captain Lambert Perrott in the chair. Mr. Lewis, the secretary, having read the minutes of the previous meeting, the silver medal of the institution was voted respectively to Mrs. Gil- braith and to Mr. William Rae, in testimony of their humane and gallant services to one out of three persons who were upset in a small punt near Whitburn, on the Durham coast, on the 6th ult. Rae was in the boat with the three men when the accident happened, and 'had almost succeeded in swimming ashore with two of them who clung to his clothes ; one of them, however, fell off, when near the land, from exhaustion. The other he brought to shallow water, when Mrs. Gilbraith, with much presence of mind, rushed over some rocks to their assistance. The special thanks of the institution were pre- sented to the Rev. Owen Lloyd Williams, of Llaufairyng- hornwy, Anglesea, and £5 to his boat's crew of five men, for putting off early on the 28th ult. in the Cemlyn lifeboat, with the view of rendering assistance to the crew of a large ship which was observed to have been wrecked near the Skerries during the previous night. Before their arrival, however, the crew had landed in their-own boat. A reward of £2los was also voted to the crew of the same lifeboat for putting off to render aid to the crew of the sloop Ann Susannah, of Bangor, which became also a total wreck near the same dangerous locality. As in the previous instance, the wreck's crew of four men had succeeded in landing before the arrival of the lifeboat. A reward of £1 12s. was voted to the boat's crew for rescuing four persons from a boat which had capsized in Redwharf Bay, on the Anglesea coast. The crew of the upset boat were seen clinging to her in an exhausted state when rescued from a watery grave. One of them had lost his hold, and was being drawn away with the tide, when help was given him. Two poor Irishmen, who, with the promptitude and humanity which always characterise this class of the Irish people, put off in their curraghs to the rescue of the master of a smack thrown out of his vessel near Foy Island, on the coast of Donegal, received £2. A reward of £9 was voted to a smack's crew for saving two of the crew of the emigrant ship John Bright, who had been capsized from a boat when that vessel struck on Arklow Banks, on the 24th ult. A communication was read from Count Walewski, stating that the attention of the French go- vernment would be directed to the various models of lifeboats, &c., exhibited by the institution at the Paris Exhibition. Captain Robertson, R.N. of the Board of Trade, has recently visited some of the lifeboats of the institution, and has re- ported very favourably of their efficiency. It appeared that the society has now a class of lifeboat—after Mr. Peake's de- sign—that admirably answers every purpose for which a life- boat can be required. A strong appeal was made for pecu- niary aid to enable the institution to increase the number of of its lifeboats on dangerous points of the coast. The pro- ceedings then closed. • HORRIBLE OCCURRENCE NEAR BATA.—ATTEMPTED PAR- nroms.—Mr. Charles Fulton, an opulent tradesmen of Bath; and one of the members of the municipal corporation of that city, has had several doses of arsenic administered to him, with a view to his murder, by his only son, Thomas Fulton, a young man of between 24 and 25 years of age. Mr. Fulton did not reside upon his business premises at Bath, but occupied a country residence called Lambridge. His family consisted of his wife, some daughters, and the son, Mr. Thomas Fulton. The latter was a young man of extravagant and somewhat dissolute habits, but he was indulgently treated by his father and all the family. Little doubt, therefore, is entertained that his object was to destroy his father's life in order to possess himself of the property wherewith to sustain his extravagant habits. For some weeks past, Mr. Fulton, sen., had been attacked at intervals with violent pains, which symptoms came on generally after meals. Medical aid was from time to time procured, and the malady succumbed to the treatment em- ployed, but the symptoms, nevertheless, caused great uneasi- ness to be felt by all the members of the family. On Sunday, the 19th ult., Mr. Fulton had a very violent attack, which, it is now remembered, came on shortly after his drinking a glass of beer, which was handed to him by his son. Mr. Harris, surgeon, was sent for, and prescribed for the symptoms which he found, and under his treatment the unfortunate gentleman got better, and was sufficiently recovered by the 27th to be able to go into Bath to his place of business. Upon going hou,e again in the evening he felt weak and exhausted, and fanciful as regarded his appetite, and he requested that he might have some fried potatoes and a thin rasher or two of bacon prepared for him. The meat was served up, and Mr. Fulton, after eating a portion of it, complained of tastins• in his mouth the same metallic coppery taste which he had'ob- served on former occasions. This was at first ascribed to fancy, but in a few minutes he was seized with pains as be- fore. Mr. Harris was again called in, and his suspicions be- coming excited, inquiries were instituted, and it was to and dis- covered that when the fried potatoes were being prepared, Mr. Thomas Fulton entered the kitchen, and under pretence observedust have contrived water into, tto the away,frfrying-pan, n a g then pa, table of being anxious to prevent delay, volunteered to cut up some on, h emptied otatoes ; e which n:ipitcltliyie hppel afterwardsotvheartafterthe fihis fouled t .ah nr a's sickness afterwards me oy the placed to boil, took the plate of potatoes which remained into the garden, that he e e he was &so to t o thw them pour must the water away. The circumstances increasing the sus- picion against him, and leaving little doubt that he•had con- trivel to mix some poisonous substance with the potatoes, portion of the contents of the stomach, and subsequentlya the l frying-pan, were sent to Mr. Herapath, the well-known ana- lytical chemist, of Bristol, who succeeded in producing arsenic from both. Finding that his diabolical Fulton attempt at parricide had been detected, • young .fled from his home and has not since been heard of. A warrant has, however, ms, been issued fin. his arrest, and a description of his person telegraphed to the different police-stations.

LIVERPOOL AND BIRKENHEAD. The completion of the long-protracted negotiations for the purchase of the Birkenhead Dock property by the Corporation of Liverpool has been followed, almost as a natural consequence, by a proposal to incorporate the two sides of the Mersey, so that Birkenhead shall become an integral portion of the Borough of Liver- pool. The subject had been incidentally mooted on previous 'occasions as a desirable consummation, but the initiative as a public question was taken at the monthly meeting of the Commissioners of Birkenhead, on Tuesday last. The chairman, Mr. JOHN LAIRD, entered at some length into what may be called the statistics of the question, the particulars of which we have given in another column, and moved the appoint- ment of a committee to confer with the Town Council of Liverpool, which was ar,,Nska tp, and on the follow- ing day a similar step was taken at the monthly meet- ing of the latter body. So far, therefore, the question is fairly before the representatives of the respective parties interested, and it remains to be seen whether the several committees will be able to agree upon a plan of details which shall prove mutually satisfactory. In the speech referred to, Mr. LAIRD sought to obvi- ate the anticipated objection as to increase of rates by the statement that while all local rates in Liverpool were 4s. 41-d. in the pound, they amounted in Birken- head to 4. 4d., leaving only a halfpenny of difference. This difficulty may therefore be said to be disposed of; but the inhabitants of Birkenhead, whose interests are identified with the prosperity of the town, are anxious to ascertain what amount of benefit will be conferred by the proposed amalgamation, which is not equally attainable without it. Many of them feel, and very naturally so, that they are sufficient in numbers, wealth, and importance, to occupy an independent position, to be represented in parliament---a privilege which has been unjustly withheld from them---and to enjoy all the corporate honours of a borough; though, by the way, they have not used the means within their power, by petitioning the Crown for a charter of incor- poration, according to the provisions of the Municipal Corporation Reform Act. It certainly does appear an anomaly in local govern- ment, that Salford, so little separated from Manchester, and in the same county, should be an independent corporation, returning its own members to the House of Commons, and yet that Birkenhead, in another county, under different jurisdiction in every respect, and divided from Liverpool by broad estuary of the Mersey, should be incorporated with the latter town, and its identity destroyed by being merged into its powerful neighbour. Then comes the consi- deration of the advantages to be acquired ; for if Birkenhead now suffers under a local taxation amount- ing to 4s. 4d., its condition in this respect will not be amended by joining itself to a borough which pays a halfpenny more, with a prospect of increase should Parliament with ruthless hand seize upon the long- cherished town dues. These are considerations which no doubt influence many ; nor will their objections be rarni3voa by 0.0 antement to which we have referred. inasmuch as the allusions to Liverpool taking the responsibility of the township debt, which is very large, will chiefly affect the bondholders, who now get only two-fifths of the interest owing to them. In Liverpool, the objections to the proposal may not be so strong, because the effect will not be so palpa- ble. It will be merely enlarging the boundaries of the borough, and admitting an additional number of Aldermen and Town Councillors into the Council chamber ; at the same time, perhaps, gratifying that sense of local pride which appreciates an augmentation of the town in population and resources. The debt of Birkenhead, supposing it to be assumed, will be but a small item in the gigantic liabilities of Liverpool, and make no sensible difference in the annual charge of interest. But great questions affecting the welfare of com- munities, must not be discussed in the spirit of a nation of shopkeepers, and every point of difference weighed with sole regard to its pecuniary value. Liver- pool has taken a wise and prudent step in the purchase of the Birkenhead dock property, because it has given her not only an interest in, but a direct controul over the vast capabilities for the accommodation of ship- ping belonging to the port ; and the construction of the building and graving docks between Woodsid and Tranmere Ferries was also a most judicious pro- ceeding, because it was the first step to restore that trade in ship-building which was lost to the port through the want of facilities for carrying it on. Bir. kenhead, with all her advantages in water-space for docks, was unable to render them available for want of sufficient capital or credit to effect their comple- tion, and Liverpool has been called upon to supply the defect. Her advantages in other respects, as a town- ship, are equally unavailable from the same cause ; and it is only her powerful neighbour who can assist her out of the difficulty. There are many reasons, no doubt, why the inhabitants of Birkenhead may prefer the dignity of being an independent borough ; but her resources are forestalled, for her debt exceeds her power of paying the interest, and hangs upon her as an incubus, which prevents the realisation of her assets. In union with Liverpool, all this may be ob- viated, and the time not far distant when her many blank spaces will be covered with rateable property, and her well-designed ground plan of broad streets be filled up with the houses they were intended for. There appears to be a kind of lurking suspicion that, in the purchase of the Birkenhead Docks, Liverpool only intended to buy oft' what might prove a formidable rival in the shipping business of the port ; but all such fears will be set at rest if the proposed amalgamation be carried into effect. Liverpool, as the mighty mistress of British Corn merce, will then be seated on both sides of the magnificent estuary, outrivalling the vaunted supe- riority of the Metropolis. A community of interest will banish all feelings of jealousy, and the streets of Birkenhead be as much a part of the town of Liver- pool as are those of Toxteth-park. There will be no more rivalry than there is now between the North and South End ; and as every improvement of Birkenhead will be an improvement of Liverpool— because the augmented receipts for rates will come into the common fund---there will be a direct interest in encouraging a residence in Birkenhead in preference to the suburbs in Lancashire, which are not within the Township boundaries. The negotiations between the respective parties should, therefore, be conducted on broader principles than mere reference to a balance-sheet of the several items which each will have to give or take. It will be just to neither to weigh the conditions upon the grounds of so much 'debt assumed, so much interest to pay, so much property to acquire, or such and such liabilities to incur. Birkenhead will, no doubt, gain a present advantage in the vast improvement of her trade, in the enhanced value of property, and in the speedy realisation of the many hopes which have so long been in abeyance. Liverpool, on the other hand, will gain ultimate advantages of not less value, and worthy of achievement, even at greater cost than [SEPTEMBER. 11, 1856. all the bond debt of Birkenhead.

DIOCESE OF CHESTER. PREFERMENTS.—The Rev. John Watson was on Thursday collated to the rectory of St. Peter, in the diocese of Chester, void by resignation of the Rev. Frederick Ford, by the Lord Bishop of Chester, patron in right of his see.—The Rev. George Scott was the same day collated to the rectory of St. Bridget with St. Martin's, in the city of Chester, void by the death of the Rev. W. P. Hutton, by the Lord Bishop of Chester, patron in right of his see.—The Rev. W. H. Strong was, on the same day, instituted to the rectory of Newchure,h, in the county of Lancaster, void by cession of the Rev. F. A. Bartlett, upon the presentation of the Rev. J. J. Hornby, Rector of Winwick, the patron, for this turn only, in right of his rectory.—The Rev. Francis Haden Cope was, on the same day, licensed to the stipendiary curacy of Windermere, in the county of Westmoreland, upon the nomination of the Rev. Sir Richard Fleming, Bart., the rector. SINCE the accession of Dr. Graham to the see of Chester, in the latter part of the year 1848, his lordship has consecrated 59 churches. THE Salisbury Journal gives a full report of the primary charge of the Bishop of Salisbury, from which it appears that his lordship laid much stress on the example set him by his predecessor, in the work he had accomplished. During the 16 years of Bishop Denison's episcopate, out of 556 churches and chapels in the diocese, the number in which two sermons were preached every Sunday had risen from 143 to 426, and in which Holy Communion was administered monthly from 35 to 181. ST. PAUL'S AND ST. BABNABAS.-It was intimated at the sitting of the Consistory Court, on Friday, that judgment in the cases of Westerton and Beale v. Liddell will not be deli- vered until November. —tedA, restoration o ' h church of St. Mary, the the rebuilding of the ancient pans nave for cathedral purposes, fitting up of the remains of the of the oak church is built, the decoration . as soon as a new REST?

The last- mentioned, at present, we believe, appertains to the Cathedral, never having been yet been partitioned out to any church, or had any special spiritual supervision, although upwards of a mile in length, and three-quarters of a mile in breadth, and containing a population of between eight and nine thousand. The peculiarity of the Cheetwood Church will, we doubt not, recommend it to the liberality of all classes of churchmen, be they high, low, or broad. The committee (who, from our advertising columns, it will be seen, number nearly 40) however they may differ in other church matters, are all agreed,and are prepared to join hand and heart in building a place of worship, to be entirely free from pew rents, in lieu of which there is to be a competent endowment fund. No one who enters the various places of worship, situated in or ad- joining our poorest districts, but must deplore the almost uni- versal absence of the masses of the people. The fact that out of 450,000 only 190,000 attend the various places of worship in Manchester and Salford, is a sufficient proof that -some- thing is lamentably wrong in our present parochial system ; and ask the poor operative why he does not attend to his church or chapel, and the reply often is, either that he has not decent apparel in which to appear, or when he has gone to any place of worship he has been placed behind the door, where it has been impossible to hear, or in consequence of wealthy pewholders, to approach nearer the pulpit. Here, then, at any rate is one great difficulty removed ; here, surely, irrespective of many other commendatory considerations, is a step in the right direction ; and one or two facts which have come to our knowledge convince us that though contributions may not now pour in so quickly as they at other times would, the attempt will ultimately be crowned with success, One which we cannot forbear mentioning is, that a working man t o with one of large family to provide for, wrote a note a few days of of the secretaries, sympathising with the wants wood, and offering his donation of £5 ! requesting to eolleet thne permission to have a card on which persons from various subscrip- tions from his acquaintances.

SINCE the accession of Dr. Graham to the see of Chester, in the latter part of the year 1848, his lordship has consecrated 59 churches. THE Salisbury Journal gives a full report of the primary charge of the Bishop of Salisbury, from which it appears that his lordship laid much stress on the example set him by his predecessor, in the work he had accomplished. During the 16 years of Bishop Denison's episcopate, out of 556 churches and chapels in the diocese, the number in which two sermons were preached every Sunday had risen from 143 to 426, and in which Holy Communion was administered monthly from 35 to 181.

NEW CHURCHES FOR MANCHESTER.—Notwithstand!ng torie tiin'ehab cleaningitn ts oafn Carlisled eman the neighbourhood, which is the badness of trade, and the severe taxation we are labouring under in consequence of the war, we are glad to perceive that Manchester is now either actually building, or actively engaged fewida7ast the same in canvassing subscriptions for, no less than five churches—. one in Hulme, another in Ancoats, another in Miles Platting, another again at the top of Rochdale-road, adjoining Colly- hurst, and lastly one for the population of Cheetwood and Strangeways, to be built in Waterloo-road. The last- mentioned, at present, we believe, appertains to the Cathedral, never having been yet been partitioned out to any church, or had any special spiritual supervision, although upwards of a mile in length, and three-quarters of a mile in breadth, and containing a population of between eight and nine thousand. The peculiarity of the Cheetwood Church will, we doubt not, recommend it to the liberality of all classes of churchmen, be they high, low, or broad. The committee (who, from our advertising columns, it will be seen, number nearly 40) however they may differ in other church matters, are all agreed,and are prepared to join hand and heart in building a place of worship, to be entirely free from pew rents, in lieu of which there is to be a competent endowment fund. No one who enters the various places of worship, situated in or ad- joining our poorest districts, but must deplore the almost uni- versal absence of the masses of the people. The fact that out of 450,000 only 190,000 attend the various places of worship in Manchester and Salford, is a sufficient proof that some- thing is lamentably wrong in our present parochial system ; and ask the poor operative why he does not attend to his church or chapel, and the reply often is, either that he has not decent apparel in which to appear, or when he has gone to any place of worship he has been placed behind the door, where it has been impossible to hear, or in consequence of wealthy pewholders, to approach nearer the pulpit. Here, then, at any rate is one great difficulty removed ; here, surely, irrespective of many other commendatory considerations, is a step in the right direction ; and one or two facts which have come to oar knowledge convince us that though contributions may 119: now pour in so quickly as they at other times would,. which attempt will ultimately be crowned with success, OneflevilA ua we cannot forbear mentioning is, that a working large family to provide for, wrote a note a of the secretaries, sympathising with thueest ng aagenfocthoeoatne.. wood, and offering his donation of £5 !

COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE. ONE of the chief reasons for which the privilege of limited liability was accorded to joint-stock compa- nies, was the facility which would be afforded to mer- cantile adventure, and the impetus which would be given to the employment of capital in opening up new channels for traffic and developing resources for which a certain amount of risk would necessarily be in- curred. It does not appear, however, that very much has yet been done to render the new law available ; but this may be merely a question of time. Almost the first announcement was a new warehouse com- pany for the sale of manufactured goods, but as this is a pursuit so efficiently carried out by private enter- prise, there could not be much need of calling in the aid of the new law for the purpose. It is well known that while the colonies of Aus- tralia constitute the great source of our supply of Foreign wool, the manufacturing towns of Yorkshire are the chief markets for its consumption, and yet, notwithstanding the fact that Liverpool enjoys greatly the pre-eminence in shipping, for speed, regularity, and capability, and is at the same time much nearer to the Yorkshire towns than London, the latter city has by far the great bulk of the Australian Wool Trade, the periodical sales reaching 80,000 bales, whilst those in Liverpool rarely exceed 10,000 bales. Indeed, so strong seems the current towards the Lon- don market in preference to Liverpool, that thousands of bales imported here from Australia are sent by rail- way to London as the better market, to be again sent a longer distance by railway to the Yorkshire mills. It appears strange that, on a bulky commodity like wool, the enormous expenses of transit for about five hundred miles by railway should be voluntarily in- curred, when the same goods, if sold in Liverpool, might reach their destination in less than a hundred miles ; and the fact itself suggests an advantage to be gained, which would not only add materially to the cbounssinideesrsabolfe vel.u°Ai advantages hit'ot t 171: atdlio ven7u';:r s“. fr""A The anomaly to which we have referred can only be attributed to the enterprise with which the London merchants have, in a measure, forestalled the Aus- tralian Wool Trade, and, by liberally embarking their capital, secured the greater part of the business to themselves ; so that the large quantities of wool they have to offer at their periodical sales, by attracting greater numbers of Yorkshire buyers, induces more competition. The London men have not, however, such magnificent vessels as those which sail from this port, nor have they the same regularity as is here en- joyed by means of the " White Star" line and the " Black Ball" line, which perform their voyages to and fro twice a month, with unrivalled speed, and with almost the punctuality of a railway train ; whilst the manufacturers, in addition to higher prices, have to incur the additional expenses of the longer transit by railway. If, therefore, Liverpool does not enjoy the business in Australian wool which it is obviously to the advantage of both importers and manufacturers she should enjoy, because of being opposed by London capital, the remedy is plain, and suggests itself as a field for enterprise to which the energies of a com- pany, on the principle of limited liability, might be profitably directed. For the operations of such a company to be'practi- cally efficient, a capital should be raised sufficiently ample to secure, by prompt payment, all the wool available in Australia, and contracts for freight might be entered into with the several lines'of packet-ships upon terms mutually advantageous, so as to secure cargo for the vessels, and a regular supply of wool for the Liverpool market. The abundance of supply would induce a full attendance of buyers at the perio- dical sales ; and, if the prices paid in London are remunerative with so many additional charges, the profits to importers in Liverpool must be still greater, and at the same time more advantageous to the manu- facturers. Nor would the profits to the company, as importers, prove the only benefit to the carrying out of the enterprise, inasmuch as the trade of the port of Liver- pool would be considerably augmented, in the increased receipts for Dock-rates, Town-dues, Brokers' commis- sions, ships' freights, employment of porters, and other items which make up the profits of a trading commu- nity. Liverpool ought to enjoy the great bulk of the business in Australian wool, of which she has been deprived by the more liberal employment of London capital ; and the way is open, by using similar means, which may, perhaps, best be effected by a company, as the capital required would necessarily be large ; but as so many parties would be interested in its success, the inducements for the formation of it are so much the greater. India offers another capacious field for embarking the capital of a joint-stock company, and rendering the new law available for extending commercial enter- prise. The vast resources of that immense empire are capable of development to an almost indefinite extent ; and though London has long enjoyed the largest share of the traffic, owing to the operations of the East India Company, which was once a gigantic monopoly, there is no legitimate reason why Liverpool should not partake of the benefits in a far greater degree than she has yet done. There are many who look forward to India as a source whence much of our future sup- plies of cotton may have to be drawn, and whence also we may at no distant time depend for tea, in addition to various other commodities, which railway extension in that country will tend considerably to increase ; whilst, as a market for our manufactures, Liverpool as a place of export has unrivalled conveniences. One of the most important means by which the trade with India might be largely extended would be the establishment of a line of packet-ships, which should leave this port at stated intervals, with the same regularity as do the lines of vessels to Austra- lia, and possess similar advantages in capacity and sailing qualities. Regularity in departure would do much to ensure freight, while the same regularity in the supply of the markets in India would tend to improve the value of the trade, by removing a fertile source of loss from alternate glut and scarcity. If sufficient capital were devoted to the extension of the trade with India, Liverpool would soon prove a far more formidable rival to London, and full employment be found not only for all the docks on the Lancashire side of the Mersey, but also for the vast addition which will shortly be made by the amalgamation of the magnificent dock property which has just been purchased at Birkenhead. The rise of Liverpool in commercial importance has been signally rapid within the last few years, but its future growth will be still more so, if the suggestions which we have thrown out should be put into practice.

LITTE_RPOOL TOJT'V COUNCIL, THE monthly meeting of the Town Council was held in the chamber on Wednesday last ; James A. Tobin, Esq., the Mayor, presiding.—The MAYOR intimated that he had communicated to the Countess of Sefton the resolution adopted by the Coun- cil at its last meeting, and had received a reply from her lady. ship, expressing thanks on behalf of herself and family. for the sympathy and kindness displayed towards them by the Liverpool Town Council, in relation to their recent bereave- ment.—On the _motion of Mr. TUNE, seconded by Mr. J. B. LLOYD, the answer was ordered to be inscribed on the minutes. FINANCE COMMITTEE. The proceedings of the Finance Committee were read. They included the following recommendations :-1. To increase the salary of Mr. Linton Hughes, from £4OO to £450 per annum, the consideration of which was postponed at the last monthly Council, pursuant to the standing orders. 2. To expend a sum not exceeding £7,000 in permanent buildings on land leased to Mr. John Laird, at Birkenhead, in lieu of the con- struction of sheds as provided in the existing agreement be- tween Mr. Laird and the Corporation. 3. To purchase from the trustees and executors, under the will of the late Mr. John Woolwright, a piece of land at the corner of Rodney-street and Hardman-street, at the price of 28s. per square yard. Mr. HORNBY, in moving the confirmation of the minutes of the committee, referred first to the proposed increase of Mr. Hughes's salary from £4OO to £450 per annum. He believed that every member of the Council was well aware of the value of Mr. Hughes's services. The Town-clerk had recommended the increase which was now proposed ; and he (Mr. Hornby) thought that Mr. Hughes was fully entitled to it. He moved, therefore, that this part of the minutes of the committee be confirmed. After some opposition on the part of Mr. ROBERTSON GLAD- STONE, the resolution was unanimously carried. Mr. HORNBY, in moving the recommendation with respect to the advance of £7,000 to Mr. Laird, stated that the Coun- cil; were under covenant to :erect sheds over Mr. Laird 'S. graving-docks, which would cost a very much larger sum thaw the £7,000 now proposed to be advanced ; and the interest to be paid was in either case 6f per cent, while the permanent buildings, which were to be kept up at Mr. Laird's costovould be of very much greater ultimate value to the Corporation than the' sheds.—The recommendation was unanimously agreed to;' as was that for tbNtrX4,:pe of the late Mr. Wool- wright's land at the corner of ilodzity-street, which 31-r. Hornby saidi would (with the exception of a small piece of land belonging to the Jews' Synagogue) put the committee in possession of al the property wh:th was.necessary to effect the improvement at that spot.

FRANKLIN, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, of the Faculte de Medecine de Paris, and Honorary Member of the College of Physicians, Washington, may be consulted daily_on all Diseases, Nervous Debility, &c. &c., at his residence, No.. 4, FRANCIS-STREET, GOLDEN-SQUARE, LONDON. Dr. FRANKLIN is one of the verysfew legally qualified physi- cians who have directed attention to these diseases; from long practical observation of the treatment pursued in the most cele- brated institutions of this country and the continent, has had, perhaps, unusual opportunities of witnessing the various pecu- liarities relating to the disorders ; and having for a number of years devoted his studies almost exclusively to this class of com- plaints, he is enabled confidently to undertake their removal in as short a time as is consistent with safety. Dr. F., to distinguish himself from non-qualified men, refers to his qualifications as above, and he earnestly cautions the public against a hbst of ignorant pretenders and rapacious Jew quacks, who infest tho various seaports, and to make strict inquiry before risking life, dtc., in the hands of the empirics. A list of pretenders in Liver- pool sent on application. Persons at a distance will be minute in the detail of their cases; and, to prevent trouble, no letters from strangers will be replied to unless they contain 41 by Post-office order or otherwise, when Advice and Medicines will be sent securely packed from observa- tion or accident. Post-office Orders to be made payable to JOSEPH FRANKLIN, M.D. Pamphlet on debility gratis, on receipt of two stamps for postage. RUPTURES.

FRAMP TON'S PILL OF HEALTH.---The mani- fold advantages to the Heads of Families from the posses- sion of a Medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sick- ness, occurring in families more or less every day, are so obvious to all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every housekeeper in the kingdom. They are an excellent aperient, create appetite, relieve languor, and invigorate the spirits, and if taken after an indulgence at table; they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose. " Tor upwards of nine years (writes Mr. Thomas Province, of lVinchmore Hill, Middlesex,) I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent Medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion ; but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform yon that a few doses gave me great relief; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we know of nothing to equal it." Persons of a Full Habit, who are subject to Head-ache, Giddi- ness, Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising from too great 1 a flow of Blood to the Head, should never be without them, as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried off. by their immediate use. For Females, these Pills are truly excellent, removing all obstructions, the distressing Head-ache so very pre- valent with the sex; Depression of Spirits, Dulness of Sight, Ner- vous Affections, Blotches, Pimples, and Sallowness of the Skin, and give a healthy and juvenile bloom to the complexion. To Mothers they are confidently recommended as the best medicine that can be taken ; and for children of all ages they are unequalled. As a pleasant, safe, and easy Aperient, they. unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most and successfu effect.. By regulating the dose, according to the age, strength of the patient, they become suitable for every case, in either sex, that can be required. Sold by all Medicine Vendors, price is. lid. and 2s. Pd. per box. See the name of "THOMAS PROUT, 229, Strand, London," on the Government Stamp. ,• THE WONDER OF WONDERS ! ! ! HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. ASTONISHING CURE OF DROPSY. Copy of a Letter from Mr. David Simpson, of Collingham, dated . - 4th Sept. 1854. To Professor Holloway,—Sir,—it is with great leasu / have to inform you of a most wonderful cure of that dreadful re malady, the dropsy, effected on my daughter by the ase of your invalu- able pills. She had been under medical treatment for a long time without deriving any benefit, although she was tapped twice, and fourteen pounds of water taken from her each time. After suffering very severely for some time, she finally had re- course to your pills, and in four weeks was completely cured, after every other remedy failed to do her the slightest good. I there- fore feel bound to make this statement public for the benefit of similar sufferers.—l remain, sir, yours obediently, (Signed) --- DAVID SIMPSON. WONDERFUL CURE OF ASTHMA. Copy of a Letter from Mr. Joseph Wild, of Hyde, Cheshire, dated the sth of August, 1854. To Professor Holloway, Sir, Mrs. Newton (a lady well known in this town, residing in Hanover- street) was afflicted for years with a severe attack of asthma ; difficulty of breathing, and a most violent cough, causing severe pains in her side, parti- cularly when she took cold; she tried many remedies, and con- sulted different individuals, without deriving any benefit. At last she came to me, and I advised her to take your pills and use your ointment ; after a few weeks. by perseverance with your remedies, she was considerably better, and, by continuing the same, in three months she was perfectly cured.—l remain, yourt, &c. (Signed) Jos. WILD. INDIGESTION AND BILIOUSNESS ! EXTRAORDINARY CURE ! ! ! Copy of a Letter from Mr. James Henshall, of Ashton-under- To dated 28th June, 1854. Professor Holloway,—Sir,—l was seriously afflicted with indigestion, attended with frequent sickness, loss of appetite giddiness, headache, drowsiness, and dimness of sight, an op- , pression at the pit of the stomach, and the other attendant evils of a generally disorganised constitution. Although I tried a variety of reputed remedies, I was not benefited, and finally I be- came so bad that life was almost insupportable to me. At this period I commenced using your pills, and in gratitude am bound to confess, that after a few doses I felt considerably better, and in six weeks was radically cured by this medicine alone, after every other remedy hart failed to afford me the slightest relief. (Signed) JAS. HENSHALL. These celebrated Pills are wonderfully efficacious in the follow- ing complaints : Ague Dysentery Piles Asthma Erysipelas Rheumatism [Evil. Bilious Complaints Avers of all kinds Scrofula, or King's Blotches on the Skin Fits Sore Throats Bowel Complaints Gout Stone and Gravel Colics Head-ache Tic-Douloureux Constipation of the Indigestion Tumours Bowels Inflammation Ulcers Consumption Jaundice Worms of all kinds Debility Liver complaints Weakness, from Dropsy Lumbago whatevercause,&c Sold at the Establishments of Professor HOLLOWAY, 244, Strand, (near Temple Bar,) London, and 80, Maiden lane, New York ; and by all respectable Druggists and Dealers in Medicines throughout the civilised World, at thetollowing prices—is, lid., 2s.

What though the sun C in beauty shine, And you have countless hoards of wea7th ; What though the world—all, all was thine, If you but want the blessing, Health. Dr. DE ROOS' PILULE VIT,E, or VEG ETA BLE LIFE PILLS. A universal Restorative for both Sexes and all Ages, concocted solely from the VEGETABLE kingdom; they may be administered to the youngest Child, or to the most delicate Invalid, by merely regulating the dose according to the age and strength of the per- son. They remove all Disorders and Pains in the Stomach and Bowels, as Costiveness, Spasms, Loss of Appetite, Sick Headache, Fulness after Meals, Indigestion, Liver Complaints, Inactivity of the Bowels, Listlessness, Heat, Pain, and Jaundiced Appearance; and while they act thus salutarily, they must of necessity increase the strength of the Patient. Headache, Giddiness, Singing in the Ears, Fluttering of the Sight, and other Heavy Drowsy Sensations —the forerunners of many fatal diseases,—as Apoplexy, Paralytic Strokes, Epilepsy, &c., are effectually warded off by a few doses of these Pills. They also produce sound refreshing Sleep, a keen Appetite, and possess extraordinary efficacy in invigorating the system, and imparting a pleasing serenity of mind. They are unequalled as a Family Medicine; in few instances,_ where occa- sionally employed in Families and Schools, will other assistance be needed. For Females they are truly excellent, removing Headaches, Depression of Spirits, Dizziness of Sight, Nervousness, Dimples, Sallowness, and giving a healthyjuvenile bloom to the Complexion. Ladies, however delicate, will find them particularly beneficial both before and after confinement. For Elderly People they are the most comfortable Medicine that can be taken. Persons going Abroad, Captains, and others, cannot store more important articles of health than the above, which, by regulating the Stomach and Bowels,. and tranquillizing the Nervous System, will prevent those fatal dseases so prevalent abroad ; as also Sea Sickness and other complaints incidental to long voyages and irregular living. No Emigrant's Chest can be properly furnished without them, for when far removed from medical aid, they will find in these Pills a never-failing restorative. • Mr. Smith, St. Ives: "Since taking your Pills I have not once required the services of a medical man, and feel satisfied this would be the case generally, if people were not so much governed by prejudice."—T. Webster, Esq., Sleaford, near Melton Mowbray: "Having read your advertisement, I felt assured your Pills would be of use to some or my poorer neighbours. I have had 12 boxes, and they have derived great benefit from taking them. I shall continue to recommend your valuable Pills to all my friends."— Mr. Edwin Highley, 4, Mount-street, Halifax: "I find your Piltilw Vitae a very pleasant medicine in removing headache."—Maent- vrrog, Tan-y-Bwlch, North Wales: "Mr. Warner's compliments to Dr. De Roos and he finds no medicine do him so much good ' as his ape." fur° RTA NT.—Some unprincipled Vendors, when asked for Dr. DE ROOS' Pills, have attempted to foist upon the Purchaser other Medicines, or trash of their own compounding, front which they obtain a larger profit.

From the imperfect in- formation he possessed, and from the reason he had before urged, he should prefer, if possible, to have his resolution for the appointment of a committee taken sub silentio. No doubt the committee would give to the subject all the atten- tion which the importance of it deserv4d, and that they would come before the board with the matter so digested as would enable them to come to a conclusion which would be satis- factory to all parties. He would, therefore, propose that the resolution be passed as it stood upon the paper. The resolu- tion was seconded by Mr. Colborne, and the word "terms" being substituted for " expediency," was unanimously adopted. ON Saturday afternoon, whilst the train which arrives at Aberdeen at 5.65 was near' Newton-hill station, the train was fired at by a person from an adjoining field. One of the carriages bears marks of shot, and the guard was a good deal injured about the legs. A FEW days ago a spark from the engine propelling a cheap trip from Sheffield fell in a field of standing barley on the side of the .line, and set it on fire. The blaze was observed by some children, who immediately . raised an alarm, and some men proceeded with scythes, &c., cut it down, and stayed the progress of the fire before any serious amount of damage was done. RAILWAY RACING.--A correspondent in Philadelphia says, " I enjoyed the pleasure of a locomotive race on one of the western railways last week. Two roads ran closely parallel to each other for about five miles, and two express trains acci- dentally emerged at that point at the same time, when each driver opened out his animal at the greatest possible speed. Notwithstanding the weather was so intensely cold, all of the car windows were thrown open, and the greatest enthusiasm was manifested by the passengers on both trains. Ladies waved their handkerchiefs in the wildest delight, and the men shouted with an energy that would have made an Indian blush. The race proved a " dead heat," and I sighed to think that it had not been made for the best ' three in five.' " SUICIDE OP A PAWNBROKER.—On Saturday morning a most singular and determined act of suicide was committed by Mr. Hall, pawnbroker, near the Middlesex Hospital. It appears that, shortly after the shop opened, one of the young men having occasion to bring into requisition that portion of a pawnbroker's premises known as " the spout," was asto- nished to find that some pledges which had been thrown down for a customer, who was waiting to take them out, did, not reach their destination at the bottom, and on investiga- tion it was discovered that the cause of the stoppage was the dead body of the employer, who was found suspended in the centre by the neck, from the cord employed in pulling up parcels from the shop to the warehouse. Mr. Hall was of a sedate and scientific turn of mind, but no cause is assigned for his committal of suicide. SHIPBUILDING AT NEW YORK.—The total amount of tonnage on the stocks, including vessels just commencing, is something over 20,000 tons, comprising 18 vessels of all de- scriptions, and including two steamships, four ships, five steamers, brigs and barques, and three schooners. The two steamships are the Adriatic for the Collins line, and the Cornelius Vanderbilt for the Vanderbilt line of Havre—both of enormous size. At the Westervilt yard, there was building for the New York and Liverpool trade (Mr. Wm. Tyson) a ship of 1,600 tons. At Webb's yard, a ship of 1,400 tons for Williams and Guyon was building under the superintendence of Captain Edwards. Mr. Steers is proceeding rapidly_ in the construction of the huge steamship the Adriatic, building by him for the Collins New York and Liverpool line, and ex- pects to have her ready for launching by the Ist or middle of March next. She is building under the superintendenee of Captain Luce. She will have oscillating engines of immense power, which are constructing in the Novelty Iron Works. At Green Point, Mr. Simonson is pushing forward to completion his great steamship called the Cornelius Vanderbilt, 3,600 tons burthen, for the Havre line. She will have two beam engines, which are building at the Allaire works. This vessel will be built with prodigious strength, and be finished in a style of elegance unsurpassed. SUICIDE.—Mr. Matthew Wood, aged 42, has committed suicide by taking five or six ounces of cyanide of potassium, used by him for photographic purposes. The deceased, who had held a lucrative post in the mail de- partment of the general post-office, had applied to be elected to the head of that department, which bad become vacant some months ago. The result of the application was, that he was placed on probation for six months. During this period he became very desponding, as he found out that he was not fitted to fill the onerous duties of the situation. As the time passed on he gradually became more and more depressed, and several times exclaimed, " It must be either success or prussic acid." There was nothing beyond depression of spirits, how- ever, that could induce his friends to suppose he would actually commit suicide. At the expiration of the probationary six months, upon going to his office, he discovered that he was not confirmed in the-appointment, not being considered sufficiently .competent. He returned home to his house in St. John's- wood, apparently broken-hearted, and retired to his bed-room about half-past five. His non-appearance before eight o'clock induced his housekeeper to go up and call him, and, upon re- ceiving no answer, she had the door opened. The deceased was then found lying on his bed in a sleeping posture, but quite dead, life having been extinct some time., A small piece of paper was found near the body, on which was described the property of the deceased, and the money due to him by the Post-office. Verdict, insanity. THE MILITrA.—Two fresh returns have been published re- lating to the Militia, on the motion of Colonels Buck and Duncombc. The one shows that on the 30th of June, 1855, the strength of the English militia was 1,764 officers, 2,123 sergeants, 780 drummers, and 29,885 rank and file present, and 272 officers, 122 sergeants, 21 drummers, and 6,048 rank and file absent. The strength of the regiments on foreign service, on the 30th June, was 198 officers, 286 sergeants, 95 drummers, and 4,608 rank and file. This makes a total effec- tive force of 2,234 officers, 2,531 sergeants 896 d reromes,. —.sm.,. bnows that the total number of rank and file embodied in England on the 14th of March. 1855, nninnntod to. A. 1,104; the total number embodied- on the 14th of April, 1855, to 30,945 ; the quota of volunteers to the regular army to 13,021, and the portion of the quota given by all regiments to the regular army to 11,268. In Scotland the number of rank and file embodied on the 14th of April, 1855, wa5.5,119 ; the quota of volunteers 1,693, and the portion of the quota given by all regiments to the regular army 886. In Ireland 15,119 rank and file were embodied on the 14th of April ; the quota of volunteers to the army was 4,736, and the portion furnished to the line by all the regi- ments, 2,353. Thus the grand total number of rank and file embodied ou the 14th of April, 1855, would be 51,183 ; the quota of volunteers to the line 19,450, and the quota furnished by all the regiments 14,507. ATTEMPTED MURDER NEAR BRISTOL.—At daybreak on Thursday, the policeman on duty at the Bedminster turnpike gate, near Bristol, heard violent cries of murder proceeding from the Victoria beerhouse, situate a few yards from the gate on the high road from Bristol to the west of England. On going to the spot he found the landlord of the house, a man about 60 years of age, named John Robbins, standing at the door with his throat cut. Blood was copiously flowing from the wound, but the injured man had placed a handkerchief in the. wound, which to some extent prevented hwinorrhage. It appeared that Mrs. Robbins, being in a state of intoxication on 'Wednesday night, her husband refused to sleep with her, and retired to rest in another room. During the night Mr. Robbins heard his wife (who is also nearly 60 years of age) threatening his life, but as this was of no unfrequent occur- rence when she was in liquor. he did not feel alarmed. Early on Thursday morning, however, Mrs. Robbins entered his bed- room, and cut her husband's throat with a razor, but fortu- nately the principal vessels are not separated, and hopes are en- tertained of his ultimate recovery. It was deemed. advisable, however, to take the evidence of the injured man and several other witnesses, after which the wife was fully committed to take her trial at the nex Somerset assizes. During the exami- nation, the woman behaved in a most violent manner, and fre- quently expressed her regret that the attempt at murder had proved ineffectual. THE PALACE OF WESTMINSTER.—The sum already ex- pended upon the new Houses of Parliament has been £1,663,944 ; and Sir C. Barry having been asked to state what additional works he proposes beyond those already sanctioned, has sent in plans and designs of real magnificence, which, if adopted, will make the total cost £2,595,511, exclusive of the cost of constructing the law courts elsewhere, as Sir Charles proposes to pull down the present unsightly edifice, and to transfer the courts to Lincoln's-inn. Sir Charles proposes to pull down the south side of Bridge-street, and to run a new and ce -zar form ,plavrhticohf tuhvoeunldethaussibt eiscoor thereteodldbpitaolaaceAtlineewof aplaalatial buildings along the north and west sides of quadrangle quad- rangle,NP Charlestheang angle roufptulsieiss new nu, os nearest to Charing-cross, Sir entrance gateway and tower. vrd a upon the side the portion of The line of building will be continued n where the law-courts now stand, untild tve joinswestward , the new Palace now completed, called St. Stephen's-porch opposite to Henry Vll.'s Chapel. We shall thus have nificent facade, extending from Bridge-street to the lo4Yinaafd- noble Victoria-tower. St. Margaret's Church, near 'West- minster Abbey, has been long denounced as an eye-sore ; and Sir Charles proposes to pull it down and rebuild it near Tothill- street. Lastly, he wants additional space opposite the Victoria- tower, to enable the spectator to follow it to its altitude with- out incurring the danger of dislocating his neck ; and, for this purpose, he proposes to pull down the houses opposite the Victoria-tower, and to make a small oblong enclosure in Old Palace-yard, containing shrubs, trees, and a statue of Queen Victoria. These additional buildings might be completed within four years and a half from the present time. A BLAZE OF JEwns.—The Paris correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, in an account of the Paris exhibition, thus describes the lustre, or hanging chandelier of M. de Bourgoin,e' minister from France to Bavaria under the reign of Louis Philippe, and since then minister from France to Spain. He says :—" This lovely piece of workmanship hangs in one of the upper galleries, opposite to the Pie tra dura and mosaic works of Florence and Rome. The mounting of it is in gilt bronze, of the style and time of Louis XVl.'s reign—a period, be it remarked, far too much neglected in the way of decorative art. For its other materials it is composed of rock crystal and precious stones from every part of the world. For the exact and arithmetical part of the description, I will pre- mise that the central column of the chandelier is one metre seventy-five centimetres (about 3 feet 6 inches) high, and is en- tirely formed of pieces of rock crystal of extraordinary size. The form of the whole is a triple crown, the largest circle of which measures 4i metres (about five yards) in circumference. These crowns are composed of fruits and flowers, all more or less represented by curious and precious stones. For in- stance, in the largest crown-circle the grapes hanging in clusters from under golden leaves, are some of amethyst, some of lapis-lazuli, according as the harmony of colours required darker or paler shades. The greengages (and these have a beautiful effect) are in uncut emeralds, or round lumps of chrysophrase ; small mirabel plums are topazes ; and there are dark purple plums, which are figured by fine nightshade- tinted amethysts. In the smaller flowers that are intermixed with all these treasures of Pomona, you distinguished gems such as pearls, rubies, and sapphires. Several hitherto hardly known minerals have been used in this curious and splendid work of art; for instance, to reproduce sufficiently the vary- ing tints from pink to crimson necessary for red apples, strawberries, &c., and for certain flowers, large use has been made of a mineral called Quincites, from the fact of its prin- cipal bed having been discovered at Quincy, in the department of Seine and Marne. But it is in the smallest of the circles— the lower one, two metres round—that the most exquisite workmanship is visible. There is there a bunch of lilacs, made of small amethysts, that would be a coiffure for the queen of an eastern tale ; there are bright blue butterflies in lapis, forget-me-nots of turquoise, and lilies of rock crystal, that dazzle you with their prismatic flames. Then, too, the way in which each fruit or flower is mounted is a marvel in itself. Here silver is used, there gilt bronze, there the dark-tinted bronze of Florence, on the contrary, according as each colour suits best the opal of white currant or pale grapes, the violet of the plums, the moss roses of pink quartz, the cornetisu apri- cots, or raspberries of garnet of blood-red. Altogether, many marvels such as this lustre do not exist in the world. BIRTHS, lIIARI?LiGES, and DEATHS. BIRTHS. On the 21th ult., the wife of Mr. W.

CORN. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 7.—There was a pretty good attendance of buyers at our market this morning; millers took off a fair quantity of foreign wheat at•the extreme rates of Tuesday, and in some instances the currency of that day was slightly exceeded; our neighbouring farmers offered a tolerable number of samples of new wheat, the quality various, but in fine condition;• high rates being asked, however, the whole was not cleared off. Flour was sold more readily, a parcel of Spanish was taken for France, and we raise our quotations fully 6d. per sack. Beans are in request at an improvement of 6d. per qr., but barley is a slow sale without variations in prices.—Old oats and oatmeal, from scarcity, rather exceed their previous val ue, and the same remarks apply to new of each article. Indian corn has met with very little attention to-day, the sales are quite in retail at Tuesday's rates, the best yellow American being quotable at 40s, and mixed at 395. 6d. per 480Ibs. BRITISH.

Our market to-day was well attended, and business was tolerably active. Wheat advanced 3d per bushel. Flour fetched the full prices of our last market day, and was in good request. Oats were remarkably scarce, and 3'l per bushel higher. Beans were also Is per quarter deorei. other articles there was no material change. WAKEFIELD, SEPT. 7.01 d wheat met a fair sale at 2s per quarter advance. The quantity on offer was limited. :•ew wheat still sells relatively dear, and come to hand sparingly. Ba ley and beans were rather higher. In oats and shelling there wus no change. WISBECH, SEPT. B.—We have had another week of fine harvest weather, and something more than half the crop is secured in good condition. At market to-day we had only a limited show of new wheat; the quality is better than was anticipated, but the yield is stated to be deficient. There was also a few large lots of old wheat on offer, and for all qualities of both new and old, the farmers asked an advance of 2s to 3s, which was reluctantly com- plied with by the bu ers. No oats offering. Beans is dearer. • • NEWCASTLE-UPON--TYNE, SEPT. B.—At this day's market there was a very small supply of farmers' wheat, which was quickly disposed of at an advance of 2s per quarter on the terms of this day week. South country and foreign are generally held for high prices, and where sales are made a similar advance of 2s is obtained. 'Norfolk red 82s to 83s, Greifswald and Sirolgast 838 to 848, Danish SOs per quarter. Increased demand for rye for exportation, and prices Is to 2s per quarter dearer; stocks very trifling, and held for 50s to 52s per quarter. Grinding barley and beans in good request, and Is per quarter higher. Peas filly as dear. Of oats the supply pies rather dearer—some 40ilbs. Danish sold at 32s per quarter. CORK, SEPT. B.—The flour trade, with only a moderate con- is small, demand brisk, and fine sam- gumption, firmly maintains late prices; any advance demanded stops sales. Foreign wheat is held for a further advance of 6d to Is per barrel,—market firm. Indian corn has slow sale at a slight reduction. The price of new wheat has again advanced, millers having to compete with shippers for prime samples, the condition and quality of which are very good. Oats receded 2d per barrel. DUBLIN, SEPT. 7.—The supply of new corn at market to-day was even smaller than on Tuesday. Oats and bere were 6d dearer. Rapeseed brought an advance of Is, and other descriptions of grain were taken at our last quotations. There was rather more demand for Indian corn and old wheat at fully late prices. - - - - - I White Wheat... 41s Od to 45s Od Oats, new.... l4s 6d to 16s 6d Red do ..... 39s Od to 43s Od Rapeseed 40s Od to 45s Od New wheat ....38s Od to 42s Od Oatmeal. lss Od to 17a Od Barley, grind... 17s Od to 20s Od Bakers' Flour 23s Od to 27s Od Bere . lss 6d to 17s Od Indian Corn, Oats, old lss 6d to 17s 6d per 4801 b.... 40s Od to 41s Od

THE WAR IN THE CRIMEA. I THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. THE progress of events is still slow and seemingly uncertain in its course, as far as regards the siege. The Russians, actuated apparently by the necessities which press them, are making demonstrations of proceeding to field operations. Large bodies of them have been seen to leave Sebastopol, as if about once more to march upon the allied armies on the Tchernaya. These movements have been sufficient to keep the whole of the besieging army on the alert, as it is not known exactly whether they are meant as a prelude to a serious attack, or are merely a feint. The cor, respondent of the Times, writing from the camp before Sebastopol, on the 24th of August, says : Orders were given this morning that no officer or man should quit the camp. An attack is expected, and the army is on its guard. Large bodies of Russians havO been seen to issue from the town, and it is thought they meditate an on- slaught upon the Sardinians. It may possibly prove a false alarm, like many others that we have lately had. On the 21st the 'troops were suddenly ordered under arms, the enemy had been observed in motion on the heights beyond the Tchernaya. Nothing came of it, nor of other similar recent alarms, but the qui vine is becoming our habitual state. We are completely in the dark as to the intentions of the commanding generals as regards offensive operations. All that we can see is that an attack on our lines is expected, and there our knowledge stops. Meanwhile, our artillery and naval bri- gade are far from idle. A number of old guns have been sunk in the earth, and make excellent practice on the town, sending shells in all directions, and doing considerable damage. I be- lieve it is intended to use up all our old guns in this way, and to dig up some that have been buried. The solid 68-pounder that was,lately taken down to a battery on the left made an excellent sThot a day or two ago at the bridge across the creek, over which a number of soldiers were passing at the time. The bullet cut the bridge in two, killing some of the men, pre- cipitating others into the water, and sinking a barge. On the night of the 22nd, the sailors got another 68-pounder into No. 9 battery, Left Attack. The slings broke on the way, and it took some time, and such dexterity and exertion as none but sailors can displaylin a like degree on such occasions, to get the tackle right again and complete the journey. Unluckily, the accident took place just underfire of the Redan, which opened a heavy fire of shells on the party, but Jack, nothing daunted, persisted in his task, and fortunately accomplished it without casualty. _ Great numbers of mortars are coming up both for us and the French, and this gives additional weight to the opinion entertained by various persons here—notably by some of the French staff—that it is intended to crush the place under a prodigious fire of mortars. There can hardly be a doubt that these are the most effective weapons we can employ against Sebastopol. The vertical fire which Sir Howard Douglas ad- vocated finds partisans among all practical men here. You may convert the huge earthworks of the Russian batteries into masses of iron by a horizontal fire, but for that the enemy will care little. It is quite clear that his inner works, not his outer ones, are what he reckons on, and only by a vertical fire we can hope to destroy the former. A meeting was held yesterday morning of officers of the Highland Division to inspect specimens of waterproof winter clothing, which were found excellent, and only slight altera- tions were suggested. Sir Colin Campbell took the oppor- tunity to read to his officers the copy of a note received by General Pelissier from the Emperor of the French, in which the Emperor informed him that he had positive intelligence that the Russians would not be able to pass the winter here. This would doubtless be by reason of the impossibility of getting up stores and provisions. Several deserters who have lately come in have agreed in stating that ammunition is plentiful in Sebastopol, but food hard to obtain. From Kertch we hear that the Spit of Arabat is completely commanded by our shipping, and that nothing can pass over it. As regards scarcity in the Russian camp, the latest " shave" current is that Gortschakoff telegraphed to Dolgorouki that he had but six days' rations left, whereupon Dolgorouki telegraphed back to Gortschakoff that there was plenty at Balaklava, and .he had better go and take them. There is something in the wind this evening. The Guards and Highland Divisions were to furnish men for the trenches, and these were actually paraded when they were ordered to turn in and hold themselves in readiness for other- duty. The men gave a smothered cheer as they obeyed the order. Since then I have seen a small body of men from one of those two divisions marching down through the dusk in the direc- tion of the trenches, but there was but a company or two, besides a working party. The report in the divisions which received this unexpected and unusual order is that they are to be employed to repel a Russian attack on the Hue of the Tchernaya, whither all eyes appeared to be turned in expecta- tion of work. The French were under arms last night, as well as the Sardinians. General Pelissier apprehended an attack, The health of the army continues excellent. The weather is dry, clear, and not excessively warm. Sir. W. Eyre, com- manding the Third Division, reports to the Quartermaster- General, under date of the 14th inst., in very high terms con- cerning the excellent order in which he found the hospital on a recent inspection. " I cannot conceive," he says, "that sol- diers in the field can be more orderly or comfortably accom- modated." He adds that the sick are in possession of every comfort, and gives great credit to the medical men of the division. The weather is decidedly favourable to field hospi- tals, permitting doors to be leftl am open and canvas raised so as to ventilate thoroughly, and often struck, when passing through the camp, by the clean, cool, and comfortable appear- ance of the hospital huts and marquees, and of their inmates. Aug. 25, noon.—We have had an agitated night and morn- ing. There was a good deal of firing in the evening, which increased towards one o'clock, about which time a sortie was attempted by the Russians against the Mamelon, but promptly repelled. The firing was very heavy for a short time—as heavy as any night-firing that has been heard here for a long time past. At two a.m. the Highland Division marched to support the Sardinians. The whole army was under arms before daylight, an attack being fully expected, and General Simpson and his staff were out and round the lines. At this present time all is quiet, but the troops are ordered to be in readiness. So strong was the expectation of an action on the Tchernaya, owing to the movement of the Highlanders and other indica- tions, that several amateurs went down to the ground where the battle, it was thought, would occur. The hour compels me to close this letter, but, according to every appearance, my next must take you news of a collision. It is intensely hot to-day, and the Russians generally are very quiet from noon till one or two o'clock—probably eating or reposing. THE FRENCH AND SARDINIAN- ARMIES. The correspondent of the Times, on the 21st August, from the camp on the Tchernaya, writes : Since the affair of the 16th we, on our side, have again relapsed into the former routine way. The Russians have vanished from all sides, and the siege operations have again monopolised, in a great measure, the interest which the Tcher- naya line had attracted for the moment. There was, indeed, a report that the Russians had an intention of renewing their attack, but that the opening of the new batteries next morning upset their plans, as they apprehended some attack of the allies from that side. The Tchernaya has become, in consequence of the late attack, a point of attraction for all curiosity- seeking persons, whose name is legion, in the allied armies. The ground where the attack took place being extended and very much broken up, one could not at first fully appreciate the loss of the Russians, but it is now officially known that the French alone have 2,200 Russians wounded and prisoners, the number of unwounded prisoners amounting to 400. The col- lecting of the wounded took nearly two days, and most likely there are still some of them not discovered among the bushes in the neighbourhood of the river. For the burial of the dead an armistice was concluded, during which the French buried all those on this side of the river, while the Russians buried those in the plain beyond. The number of the dead is not yet officially known, but the accounts which I have heard vary from 1,600 to 1,700. Every one who saw the Russians running back could not doubt that they were thoroughly routed. The battle-field gives an additional proof of this. The Russians are very particular about carrying away their wounded and officers, especially general officers. In the late action three generals were found on the field, one mortally wounded, and two others dead. One of the dead is said to have been General Bellegarde, who was last year in the Principalities. The wounded General Read has since died of his wounds at the French.- head-quarters. Gortschakoff was during the action at the observatory at Mackenzie's Farm. He is said to have given the orders to retire before he knew the result of the attack, because he guessed the result from seeing the French tents still standing on the hillocks. Could he have seen inside of them he would perhaps not have given the order so quickly, for the tents alone stood, everything else—stores, ammunition, &c.—had been removed. It is confirmed on all sides that the attack took place at the express order of the emperor. When the attack was over, and the Russians began to retire, everybody expected something from the other side ; but when nothing came, and the Russians, after a partial attack on our centre—which, although violent enough, lasted not more than two hours—fell back, the whole attack seemed incomprehen- sible. During the attack on the Tchernaya there was like- wise a demonstration towards Baidar. The French cavalry had retired during the night preceding the attack and during the early part of the morning, and had occupied the ridge on which Count Tcrawsky's villa is situated, at the entrance of the valley, while the two battalions of infantry, which had been down for the protection of the passes, retired on the hills above Brujuk Miskonsia. They had scarcely gone off, when two hundred Cossacks came down into the valley, and picked up everything the French had left behind them—a number of bullocks, some • biscuits, rice, and 140 loads of hay. Content with this plunder they retired again to the heights. Some changes have taken place in the commandership of the French troops at the Tchernaya. General d'Herbillon commanded daring the attack as senior general of division. Now, as the Imperial Guard has been added as a reserve to the troops on the Tchernaya, General Renaud de St. Jean d'Angely takes com- mand of the whole as General d'un Corps d'Armee. There is, besides, some talk of uniting the command of the allied troops on the Tchernaya in one hand. When Omar Pacha left, he gave his instructions to Osman Pacha. As these instructions seem to be very narrow, they throw serious impediments in the way whenever it becomes necessary to use Turkish troops. Everyone speaks with the greatest praise of the behaviour of the Sardinian troops. Their artillery rendered immense service, partly by subduing the fire of the enemy's guns in the plateau opposite, partly in crushing the columns of attack by taking them in flank. There was also a battery armed with English position-guns, which kept &ing at the Russian ar- tillery on'the plateau nearest to the plain. Scarcely a shot missed. Their infantry drove back the Russian riflemen on the banks of the river in the most gallant style. They ad- vanced with the steadiness and precision of old troops, and made their evolutions under the fire of the enemy with as much precision as if they had been on parade. The Sardini- ans also followed up immediately the retiring enemy, and took several hundred prisoners and wounded. THE BOMBARDMENT OF SWEABORG. The Moniteur of Thursday publishes the following : The additional detS..ils collected at Helsingfors confirm the statements already made respecting the losses of the enemy, which have been very considerable ; and, moreover, they make known to us the damage caused by our projectiles. Thus it was not, as supposed, only to withdraw the Russian three•decker Anchored between Oustayswaard and Bakholmen that the enemy took away that vessel from the passage in which it had been placed. Hit, and perfdrated by the shells, that vessel was sinking, and the Russians were obliged to tow her into shallow water ; she is still there, lying over on one side, and full of water, which explains the inclined position in which she was seen from the sea. Considerable storehouses of corn and flour destined for the troops were consumed by the flames. Great fears were entertained that the allied squadrons would attack and burn the town. Persons who have visited Swea- borg since the bombardment have stated that the principal buildings destroyed in the Citadel are— Two powder magazines. Two shell magakines. One magazine full of flax and ropes. Two storehouses, containing corn and flour for the troops. One pitch manufactory. One large house, containing hospital stores for the army. Seventeen private houses. The house of the Governor-General and his Chancery. Eighteen vessels hit in the basins. The granite quays are damaged by the shells. Finally, the shells which fell on board the man-of-war wounded 96 men, who were conveyed to the town hospital, but the number of killed is not known. The number of killed acknowledged is 2,000, but it is sup- posed at Helsingfors that the number is much greater. At the present moment the hospital at Helsingfors is full of wounded from the citadel, and, not being large enough to contain all who have been brought there, it has been found necessary to lodge them with the inhabitants.

THE HEALTH AND DOCK COMMITTEES. The TOWN-CLERK presented an elaborate report upon the question at issue between the Health and Dock Committees, with reference to an alleged encroachment, by the latter, on certain land of their own, in the neighbourhood of the Custom- house, which they had previously agreed to give up for the purposes of the public street.

THE BALTIC. ATTACK ON BRANDON, IN THE GULF OF BOTHNIA INTREPID CONDUCT OF LIEUT. BURSTALL. HER MAJESTY'S STEAMER FIREFLY, Ledsund, Aug. 20. On Wednesday, the Ist of August, the two paddle-box boats of the Firefly, and the captain's gig, left the ship at Korsoren, which is at the estuary of the inlet leading to Wasa, and pulled up to Brandon (12 miles), the seaport and great depot for shipping; here they cut out a barque and towed her two and a half miles out and anchored her, when two Russian soldiers (deserters) came off to them and brought infor- mation that the troops had left Brandon to go to Wasa, thinking that an attack would be made on that town. Captain Otter pulled back to the ship on Thursday, when the Firefly weighed, and, after a great deal of difficulty in finding the channels, arrived at Brandon at midnight, where she anchored about 400 yards from the town, and a little island off it, on which were a great many storehouses of tar, resin, and a great quantity of timber. The boats landed on the island, and broke open the storehouses, expecting to find the rigging and sails of the barque, but, failing in this, they sent a message to the owner (Mr. Wolff) at Wasa, requesting him to give them up, or else his stores would be burnt as soon as the wind shifted (to prevent the fire com- municating to the town). Pending his reply, Lieutenant Burstal went in charge of the two paddle-box boats, and scoured some islands and inlets, where he discovered five vessels secreted. The first was an old schooner, which was hauled out, and, as it was a fair wind, he sent her with two men to the ship, and then went and found four very fine new ships, two barques from 400 to 550 tons, and two brigs about 220 tons, quite new. The owners, seeing our movements, had sent out some men to scuttle them, but they had not time enough to do it, so, having plugged up the holes, Lieutenant Burstal left them in charge of Mr. Bull, in the paddle-box boat, while he returned to the ship to report progress. By this time the schooner was taken alongside the store house island, and a party of men were employed clearing the stores and putting them on board of her. In the afternoon some of the inhabitants had cautioned our people against remaining on the island, as troops were expected every moment. However, no notice was taken of it, and at half-past 7 o'clock Mr. Haim came off with the working party, who were relieved by another party in charge of Lieutenant Burstal. After he had visited the sentries and seen all the people at work, at about half-past 8 o'clock Captain Otter went on shore to see how things were getting on, and while conversing on a conspicuous ' position on the island, about ten minutes after landing, a tremendous fire of musketry from the houses, sheds, and behind the rocks near the town opened on us ; the rifle balls and splinters of planks flying about like hail, but, fortu- nately, no one was touched. The working party hurried down to the boats, which were near the schooner, and all got safely on board the Firefly, which immediately after the first volley of musketry, opened her fire upon wherever the musketry came from. On the way off to the ship the boats were struck several times. In the hurry consequent on the sudden firing there were left on board the schooner seven muskets. The paddle-box boat (which was away getting a barque out about two miles off) soon came up and opened fire upon the town, and threw shells into the woods among the troops. The ship was engaged with them from nine p.m. till five the next morn- ing ; the enemy's fire was nearly silenced at 11 o'clock, with the exception of a stray shot now and then. The schooner was completely riddled, and hopes are entertained that the muskets are destroyed, for it would have been highly impru- dent to send a boat to her, being within 250 yards of her guns. At six a.m. the Firefly steamed off a mile and a half, and took away the largest barque and burnt the three others she had taken, one pierced for twenty guns. Hav- ing towed the barque out, and anchored near the former prize, it came on to blow and rain. The bad weather continued till Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday night information was obtained that the enemy had received a rein- forcement of 800 men and eight large guns, and that they had twenty-five men killed and eighteen in hospital wounded, but, as the storehouses were not burnt, it became necessary to keep the promise of doing so ; therefore, on Wednesday the Firefly went in and fired at 1,500 yards with hot shot at the island ; but some batteries had been erected in the mean- time, which replied to us. The red-hot shot had the effect of setting fire to the storehouses, which very soon made a tremendous conflagration. Late in the afternoon the paadle- box boat, with Lieutenant Ward, went in to reconnoiter and attempt to fire another part of the island to expedite the destruction, but he opened fire on the schooner, which had been shifted to the main land ; he continued firing until he saw troops about 250 yards off, who opened fire on the boat, which was struck several times ; and had it not been for a hammock as a barricade, he (Lieutenant Ward) would have been struck. The paddle-box boat was then recalled, and about seven p.m. the Firefly weighed, and stood in a little closer to give them a parting salute, which brought out the fire of some heavy field guns and an immense number of rifles, which sent their missiles on board, over a-head and astern, but no one was hit. Several shells were droppped among them, and at half- past nine we fired a parting shot, having expended nearly all our ammunition, and leaving the storehouse a mass of flames. No account has been received of the Russian loss on the second day. The' Firefly took her two barques in tow, and got them safely to Ledsund. The weather in the Gulf of Bothnia seems to have broken up, and a succession of gales from all quarters is now a frequent occurrence. We reckon we have burnt about 820,000 worth of storehouses, besides tar and timber ; captured two fine barques, and burnt five very fine new ships. A list of vessels and property belonging to the enemy taken or destroyed by her Majesty's ship Firefly from the Ist to the 11th of August, 1855 :—The Fides, barque, 300 tons ; cargo 228 barrels of tar ; cut out of Wasklot, near Brandon. The Precioso, barque, 420 tons; cargo, none; cut out of Wasklot, near Brandon. A barque, 300 tons ; cargo, none ; burnt in a creek near Brandon ; pierced for 20 guns, not quite finished.

THh: 11..ibtrpoot tanbarb. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 135; FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. -mss MONDAY MORNING. 'TEE summer season continues to act severely upon "Life in London." The courtly emigrants, who in vast numbers composed a voluntary suite for the recent royal visitors to France, still linger in crowds among the seductive gaieties of the French capital, or lounge amid the provincial attractions of la belle France. The Society of Arts, and all whom it delights to honour, as well as those who seek reflected honour from its accidental smile, have betaken themselves to Paris, and in the course of the present week, it is understood, will be received at the Tuileries. The savans have broken up their several bivouacs in the metropolis, and are speeding with all the facilities offered by steam towards the general rendezvous at Glasgow, the capital of the Caledonian Becetia. The Court, and with the Court its royal mistress QUEEN VICTORIA, turning her back temporarily upon her southern palaces, has sought shelter and repose within her Highland mountain home at Balmoral, leaving cockneydom a prey to ennui, and the numerous social ailments which follow in its train. In such a state of matters, "trifles light as air" assume im- portance in the general strain of gossip, and of these many a sin- gular vesicle is inflated and dispersed. Within the last two days no small amount of anxious discussion has taken place in refer- ence to a subject which, occurring through some mismanage- ment, might have been attended with results the most cala- mitous. This was an account of the dangerous series of acci- dents which accompanied the royal train on its journey from the metropolis to the Scottish border. It is long since that inveterate joker, the Rev. SIDNEY SMITU, said there would never be safety in a railway train till a director of a railway com- pany was'accidentally roasted by the firing of a carriage ; and not much shorter a time since his jest was almost converted into earnest by the burning of a bishop. For Thursday last, however, was reserved the distinction of almost the dread con- jecture in the destruction of our gracious Sovereign. HER MAJESTY and the Royal Family, as is well known, left the King's Cross terminus of the Great Northern Railway at an early hour on Thursday morning. Notwithstanding all the pre- cautions, ostensibly taken to prevent accident, or, indeed, to obviate the chance of even the slightest casualty, it appears that, not long after the starting of the royal train, it was dis- covered that some of the axles of the carriages, especially one of the last break van, were in an unsatisfactory state. When the train reached Peterborough, one or two of the axle-boxes had to be washed out. At Grantham the state of affairs was found to be still worse ; and at this point a man was stationed on the footboards of the train to grease the axles in the pro- gress of the journey. From Retford a telegraphic message had to be despatched to Doncaster ordering a fresh break to be got in readiness. At Bawtry the train was detained five minutes to allow the axles—all of which were more or less heated —time to cool. On reaching Doncaster the last break of the train was exchanged for a fresh one. Even thus, however, the danger was not obviated, for after getting rid of the nearly ignited break, when the train got once more into motion the condi- tion of the axles of some of the other carriages continued to excite the most lively anxiety in the officials having charge of the train, and to call for ceaseless vigilance on their part. As the train approached Darlington, one of the men stationed on the footboard, to grease the axles, while engaged in the performance of his perilous duty, came accidentally in contact with the girder railing of a small culvert bridge ; by the collision he was knocked off the train, and was so crushed and mutilated in his fall as to cause his death in a few minutes afterwards. This accident was not known to the Royal travellers till their arrival at Darlington. On the melancholy fact becoming known, HER MAJESTY expressed deep regret and warm commiseration in re- ference to the sad accident. At this point it was found that the axle of the Royal: saloon carriage had become so very hot, that it became iiidispensable to detach this carriage from the train; and the QUEEN, Prince ALBERT, and the Princess ROYAL, who occupied it, were compelled to abandon it, and proceed for the remainder of the journey in a saloon carriage, occupied by some of the junior branches of the family. The chronicler of these seried mishaps adds that HER Ma.rEsry bore the contretemps very good humouredly. Fortunately the remainder of the journey was accomplished without any mis- adventure, and the Royal cortege arrived at Hoiyrood about half-past six in the evening. On Friday morning the Royal party resumed their journey northwards, arriving at Balmoral towards nightfall of the same day. As already stated, much anxious and some angry conjectures have been hazarded upon the subject of these dangers in the purlieus of the clubs, many of the sojourners in which, being men of routine, cannot trace any connection between this perpetual "frenzy of the wheels" and the operation of any known rule of cross-purposes. All classes sincerely rejoice to-know that the danger was only threatening and not tangible, although obviously imminent. The absence of interesting events confers a double piquancy on subjects of speculative controversy; and this latter kind of stimulant has been of late rather freely furnished,—the treat- ment of Mr. BAKEWELL by the authorities at the Horse- Guards, and the gentle passages of letter-writing and pub- lishing between Sir CHARLES NAPIER and Sir JAMES GRA- HAM affording abundant food for surmise and racy conjecture on all hands. In respect to the former case, general opinion appears to take the ordinary course in reference to all Crimean matters, directly antagonist to official usage. The treatment of Mr. BAKEWELL is generally admitted as original and unique, whether the statement for which lie has been cashiered be true or false. Mr. BAKEWELL, as an assistant-surgeon, on an important occasion, the assault upon the Redan on the 18th of June, avers that the preparations made for relief of the wounded on that memorable occasion were inadequate to the reasonable expectation of the casualities ; and grossly, ter- ribly deficient compared with the actual occurrences of that day. He is himself, shortly after making the accusation, for it is now all nonsence to talk about its anonymous character, prostrated by disease, and forced to retire from the Crimea to Scutari. Here he is officially informed that an inquiry is to be made into the truth or falsehood of his accusa- tions. He expresses his willingness immediately to proceed to the scene of the inquiry, and verify his charges. In answer to this offer he receives an advice to attend better to his health, and remain where he is. The inquiry, meantime, pro- ceeds; and, after a brief space, he is told his accusations have been investigated, and proved groundless ; that he himself is an anonymous slanderer, and, as such, has been dismissed from his post. Startled, as he well might be, at the arbitrary rapi- dity of this species of military justice, lie applies to have an opportunity of substantiating his charges, or, at least, pf 'being heard in his own defence, ere he be punished. for a crime ' without having even been told it was to be preferred against ' him. This request is sternly refused ; and lie is coolly told by Mr. FREDERICK PEEL that a man who would make charges against his fellows behind their backs has no right to be heard in his own defence, or to complain of the injustice of his condemnation ! The plausibility of this style of pleading is not sufficient to secure it from the scrutiny of men as disin- terested as Mr. PEEL. These scrutineers see plainly and say boldly that making such a statement is putting a false colour on the transaction. Mr. BAKEWELL was not arraigned on any charge, or, if he he had, who knows that he could not have rebutted the charge ? But whether his averments were true or false, they could not be fairly said to be anonymous, as he had given up his name to be used, if requisite, when lie made his criminatory statement ; and above all, when he was told the inquiry was to be made into the circumstances of his charges, he at once expressed his willingness to meet the inquiry and substantiate his charges. He is arraigned, tried, convicted, and punished for the crime of laying a " masked accusation ;" whereas, withdrawing any mask that ever was held up, he expressed his willingness to come forward in the face of day and substantiate his accusation. This surely is in a considerable degree akin to the Donnybrook measure of justice which first knocks a man down and then kicks him for falling. The parties whose con- duct was impeached by Mr. BAKEWELL, if innocent, have more reason to complain than he has. They have been, they and all men are told, exonerated from all blame implied in the asper- sions. A court of inquiry which excludes the statement of the accuser, is not just the first that honourable men would claim or value a verdict from : but apart from this consideration, iu itself no trivial one, there are other circumstances connected with the transaction which do not greatly brighten its aspect. Every one is familiar with the fact that at the time when matters were at the worst, or rapidly approaching to it in the Crimea, the intelligence received by Government from Government officials was of the most satisfactory kind. All was going on swimmingly and well. The sick and the wounded were, according to these reports, most admirably tended. True, the reports of " masked accusers," as the newspaper correspondents are considered, by Mr. PEEL and gentlemen of his kidney, were pertinacious in declaring the state of matters to be the reverse of the official representations. Investigation took place, not through a military court of inquiry, but by parties as willing to listen to the accused as the accuser, and the result of that investigation showed clearly enough that the truth was in the statements of the " masked accusers," that the deception pertained to the official state- ments. With these facts staring the public in the face, no amount of official pertinacity nor any skulking behind the bulwarks of military etiquette will induce a general belief in the groundlessness of Mr. BASEWELL'S allega- tions, or acquiescence in the sentence which condemns him unheard.

GLORIOUS TRIUMPH. THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL. OFFICIAL DESPATCH FROM GENERAL SIMPSON. Lord Panmure has received the following tele graphic despatch, dated :--- " CRIMEA, 9th September. "Sebastopol is in possession of the Allies. The enemy during the night and this morning have evacuated the south side, after exploding their magazines and setting fire to the whole of the town. "All the Men-of-War were burned during the night, with the exception of three steamers which are plying about the harbour. " The bridge communicating with the north side is broken." The Admiralty have received the following tele- graphic despatch from Sir E. Lyons :--- "During the night, the Russians have sunk all the remainder of the Line of Battle Ships in Sebastopol larbour." Lord Panmure has favoured the Electric Telegraph Company with the following telegraphic despatch, dated :--- " CRIMEA, 10th September. "The casualties, I regret to say, are somewhat heavy No General Officer killed. " The names shall be sent as soon as possible." CAPTURE OF THE MALAKHOFF. The Moniteur contains the following despatch, dated. Varna, Sept. 9th, 3.35 a.m.:— " The assault on the Malakhoff was made yesterday, at noon. Its redoubts and the Redan of Careening Bay were carried by storm by our brave soldiers with admirable intrepidity. We immediately occupied ourselves in lodging - ourselves there ; we succeeded in doing so at the Malakhoff. The Redan of Careening Bay was not tenable, owing to the heavy fire of artillery, which poured upon the first occupiers of that work. Our solid installation cannot fail soon to make • it surrender, as also the Redan, of which our brave Allies carried the' salient with their usual vigour, but, as was the case at the Redan of Careening Bay, they were obliged to give way before the enemy's artillery and powerful reserves. On ' beholding our eagles floating on the Malakhoff, General de Salles made two attacks on the Central Bastion. They did not succeed. Our troops returned to their trenches. Our - losses are serious, and I cannot yet send a precise return. They are amply compensated for, as the capture of the Malakhoff is a success the consequences of which are immense. The Globe says no further intelligence of the progress of the assault has been received, but news of the capture of the Redan is momentarily expected. The Central Bastion men- tioned by General Pelissier is on the left attack in the direction of the Quarantine Battery. It would thus appear that Sebas- topol was assaulted on four points, namely, in the Redan of Careening Bay on the right, the Malakhoff, the Great Redan, and the Central Bastion, and that on the second and most important of those points the assault was comparatively suc- cessful. The advantage renders the fall of the Redan on each side a matter of comparative certainty. THE ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE EMPEROR. The Times' Paris correspondent writes that, before the ser- vant had time to open the door of the carriage, an individual, who had been observed standing on the same spot for some time, advanced and presented two small pistols, but before he had time to discharge them into the carriage the police agents struck down his arm and caused the bullets to pass under the vehicle.

"THE RUSSIAN WAR AND ITS RELIGIOUS ASPECT.'—Such was a portion of the title of a lecture delivered last night at the Hope-hall to a very meagre audience by a gentleman styling himself " George Bird, late rector of Cumberworth." Mr. Bird some time ago left the communion of the Church of England, on account of some peculiar doubts of his own respecting her religious tenets, and now does not profess to be anything in particular, having dropped even the accustomed garb of a clergyman. In his discourse last night, he com- menced by saying that secularists maintained that the present war arose from religious views in respect to the Holy Places, and was influenced by the predictions of the Gospel. In con- tradiction to this, he maintained that the " true" Gospel had nod o connection with s theuch matters of dispute as " Holy Places," a that nof presenurches—Romanism Mor- monism, Mahommedanism, Pratetantism, the Church of England, or any of the religious denominations—constituted a " pure" church. Further reference to Mr. Bird's views are unnecessary.

THE WATER COMMITTEE The proceedings of the Water Committee included an ela- borate report from Mr. Duncan, the water-engineer, on the subject of an additional supply of water from Green-lane, which the committee had, at the last meeting of the Council, been requested to consider. The report was to the effect that, having regard to the altered circumstances of the case—to the fact that the works which would make an additional sup- ply from Green-lane available could not be completed until the Ist of March—that the want of water was less felt in the winter than in the summer months, and that there was every reason to believe that the water from Rivington Pike would be available by the Ist of April. The engineer could not take the responsibility of recommending, at this moment, the addi- tional expenditure which, in the then state of affairs, and with the information then before him, he. had suggested in December, 1854. Upon this report the committee recom- mended that the additional works in Green-lane be not now constructed. Mr. BENNETT gave many reasons, of a practical character, for disbelieving that the llivington Pike supply would be available by the time stated, and believing it better not to run any risk of a deficiency of water in the next summer, proposed that the recommendation made by Mr. Duncan, in December, 1854, be forthwith carried out. Mr. FERNIHOUGII seconded the motion. Mr. WOODRUFF, a member, and Mr. HoLr, the chairman of the committee, expressed their determination to yote for [SEPTEMBER the amendment, admitting that tht defeated by an unforeseen accident to make assurance doubly sure.

EXTENSIVE COTTON ROBBERIES. JOHN CRAIG, a cotton porter, was brought up at the Police- ' court yesterday, charged by detective officer Laycock with stealing 60 lbs. of clean cotton from a cart in Macviccar- • street, Great Howard-street. The prisoner said that if he was allowed he could go with the officer, and find him the carter that gave him the cotton in ten minutes. He was ac- cordingly remanded until to-day, to allow him the opportunity of clearing himself. James Westhead, cotton porter, and Michael Dunne, who has a cotton store in Macviccar-street, and also keeps a beer- house in Portland-street, were charged with stealing a quantity of cotton from the office of Messrs. T. Postlethwaite and Co., Exchange-chambers, Tithebarn-street. Mr. Martin (Messrs. Postlethwaite's warehouseman) stated that he locked up the premises securely on Friday evening. On the following morn- ing he came down at 20 minutes past seven, and found every- thing, as he at first supposed, in the same condition. On going through the sale-room, however, a little boy drew attention to men's feet on the counter. On searching further, he found that about one and a half cwt. to two cwt. of cotton samples had been stolen. They were what are termed " used samples, " and were evidently taken by some persons who knew the place well; for some samples in front had not been disturbed. Entrance had been obtained by means of a ladder raised against a window. Some few weeks ago a precisely similar robbery had been com- mitted. Mr. Martin. with detective officers Scott and Patricks, had searched Dunne's store in Macviccar-street yes- terday morning, and thrust in amongst some rotten Surat pickings they had discovered similar samples to those stolen. Upwards of 2 cwt. of cotton of various kinds were found thus carefully concealed. John Williams, an elderly man, a cotton porter, stated that between six and seven o'clock on Saturday morning he saw a cart standing at the end of the court leading to Exchange- chambers ; watched it loaded with packages of cotton, and then followed it to Macviccar-street, where it was unloaded. He saw Westhead come out of Exchange-chambers and put something into the cart. John Cairns, the carter, stated that he was going down Tottenham-street at the time mentioned, when Westhead ran across from Exchange-chambers, and asked him if he would cart five bags of cotton waste to Macviccar-street for ls. He (Cairns) agreed, and Westhead brought two packages to the cart ; another man (not in custody) brought three more pack- ages, paid him ls., and told him to drive:to Macviccar-street. He drove there, but no one accompanying him, he was about to turn back to look for Westhead, when the other man called out to him from what he had since learned was Dunne's store, and he then backed his cart up and unloaded there, seeing no one but the "other man." The officers apprehended Westhead at Dunne's beer-house on Saturday afternoon. They heard he was there, and sent a person in to say he was " wanted outside." Dunne was stand- ing in the window at this time ; but when they went in to take him also, they found that he had "flown," and he was "out of the way," until between five and six o'clock yester- day morning, when they knocked him up. When the charge was tikplained to him, he said he had no cotton in Macviccar- stree, but some " old Surat." Mr. Roby, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Snowball, who defended Dunne, argued that there was no evidence to implicate him in the robbery, and that the " other man," so often referred to might have had the cotton in his warehouse—even supposing it to be that which had been stolen—without his consent. Mr. Bluck, who appeared for Westhead, made a similar ap- peal on behalf of his client, maintaining that Westhead was not proved to have taken any leading part in the affair suffi- cient to implicate him as a principal. On the application of Mr. Roby, the case was remanded for a week to obtain further ' evidence. COMMERCIAL and MONETARY NEWS, MONDAY NIGHT. bevvyaeiTltnehhdbeeyßsfetthaeradi several of the public Funds, which has pre- nek raising Engw leeafenkds thefpast,rnmn in3i atusnm4n orptae rate rbe ceeee fnn tdrs ace ecs utt een step which was in some measure anticipated from the re- cent progressive decline in the stock of Bullion, and the amounts to be provided for the instalments coming due of the several English Turkish and French loans. It may be, however, that the effect of these payments is over-estimated, as the amount of free capital is still very large, and the decline but small, notwith- standing that the drain for the purposes of the army has been going on for some time past. By the Bank returns of Friday, it appears that there is a decrease on the stock of Bullion of £6,06,869, and in the reserve of notes unemployed to about the same amount; but the imports of specie have lately been comparatively small, and the renewed adivity in several important markets, may account for this, without allowing any serious apprehensions as to the future. It must not be 'forgotten that the Bank surplus is not always a test of monetary resources, as excess may be caused by dulness in trade as well as by plethora of capital, and a decrease of Bullion in the Bank coffers maybe caused by a demand for home trade, as well as by exports to other countries. Both circumstances should be taken into •account ; and, as further supplies are known to be on their way, and foreign exchanges are still favour- able, the requirements of the loans will most probably he met without any serious derangement of monetary affairs. We copy the following general remarks from the .circular of Messrs. T. and H. LlrrunnArm and Co., published on Friday last :--- As usually the case at this period, the probable result of the harvest has been the most anxiously watched event of the month, and though from the lateness of the season it is too early to assert that all danger is past, yet most parts of the country have, during the last fortnight, fortunately been favoured with, if not'the brilliant sun of last autumn, at least a fair run of dry harvest weather, which has mildly matured the crops, and enabled the farmers to make good progress in the reaping, and over a large breadth of country carrying thCir grain, in such condition as may fairly lead us to as sume that an average harvest at least will be secured. Rice, it will be observed, maintains its price, notwithstanding the heavy arrivals, and the increased export demand seems to keep our cleaners fully employed. Sugar and Saltpetre have each had a remarkable rise, with apparently no prospect of an imme- diate reaction, indeed the advance on each seems warranted by the law of supply and demand. We think we may reasonably anticipate the continuance of a fair demand for most leading articles of import. Our .SHARE MARKET has been very flat and inactive .211 week, with the tendency of prices decidedly down- wards. A momentary rally took place this morning, but this not being supported by the public, prices have again relapsed to those of last week. Foreign shares are firm and improving. We annex prices :--- Caledonians, 311 ; East Lancashire, 18-1- ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 881 2 1.1; London Stock, 94 14; Sheffield Stock, 251 5; Midland Stock, 681 1 -1; South Eastern, 181 • East Lancashire Pref. Fifths, 51 ; Dutch Rhenish, lip ; Great Western of Canada new shares, lip ;- Luxembourg constituted, 91d ; Bank of Liverpool, 231.; Liverpool and London Fire and Life Insurance, 6p. • CorroN.---There has been a very fan- amount of business done during the week, and prices have re- mained without alteration. The Manchester market has been very firm, and, as the weather has been very favourable for getting inthe harvest,there is little doubt that the supply of cotton will fall short of the demand, and the market experience a consequent advance. The ales for the week up to Friday amounted to 56,300 bales, of which 420 were taken on speculation, and 5,720 for export, caving 43,560 for the trade. To- DAY, the sales were 8,000 bales, including 2,000 for speculation and export, and the market closed firmly, prices being slightly higher. The following is a com- parison of present rates with those of the correspond- ing period last year :--- 1854 1865 New Orleans, middling fair UplamCmiddling PRODICEf.a-ir-The Sugar market has 6been very firm, and full prices readily obtained for the small quantity offered. Coffee in improved demand for export. Not so much doing in Tea. Rice firm. Saltpetre scarce. For Palm Oil an increased demand. Tallow improving. TO-DIY, the inquiry for sugar has again increased, resulting in the sale of 400 hhds. Antigua at 415., 145 hhds. Barbadoes from 40s. to 445. 6d., 170 hhds. Jamaica at 41s. 3d. to 435. 9d., 50 hhds. Porto Rico at 435. 3d., 500 bags Dates at 425. 6d., and 1900 bags Pernams at 395. to 40s. per cwt., being generally ex- treme prices to 6d. per cwt. advance. Nothing has taken place in Molasses or Rum. There has been a good demand for Coffee, 1600 bags Rio being reported at 375. to 40s. for unwashed, and at 48s. to 545. per cwt. for washed. The chief weight of the two last arrivals of Tea having been placed, our market has relapsed into its former quiet position ; common Congou ranges from B.ld. to 9d. per lb. Upwards of 5500 bags Larong Rice have found purchasers, at previous prices, 1800 bags Arracan, all faults, at lls. 9d. for first class damaged, and 100 tons Bengal, to arrive, at 15s. 3d. ; a large business has also been done in Sago Flour, 3250 bags for arrival being reported at 255., and 250 bags on the spot at 30s. per cwt. 90 cases Cutch have brought 255. per cwt. WooL.---A very active demand continues to be manifest for all good, clean, low and middle qualities of Wool, from the Levant and Mediterranean ; stocks of all descriptions are unusually light, and prices very firm. Egyptian and the finer classes of Turkey and Smyrna Wool are much in request and very scarce, present stocks chiefly consisting of the lower sorts, which are not good enough, and conseqently not so much in request for the Army orders now in progress. In Donskoi fleece some few sales have been made during the week at full quotations. Market generally firm, and prospects favourable. The imports for the week are 2729 bales Peruvian ; 105 Mediterranean; 34 Scotch ; 46 Irish ; and 19 Coastwise. Total, 2933 bales. METALS.---The market looks in a very healthy state. It is anticipated that at the coming quarterly meet- ing an advance of £2 per ton on manufactured Iron will be declared. Scotch Pig Iron is steadily ad- vancing in price, 83s. being the closing price yester- day for store counts f.o.b. Glasgow. Other metals fiirm, and in good demand, but without change in price. num—Messrs. FLETCHER and FIRTH, in their circular of Saturday, say :--- cillqc*Nis Tht unfavourable report from the cqrraut Islands, alluded to in our last circular, have been more than realized, for, by recent advices, we find the production falls much short of what was anticipated, and that prices have been paid for finest quality of fruit which will stand the importers in 925. to 945. per cwt. here, duty paid, without anything in the shape of profit. These accounts have produced excitement both here and in London, and 10s. to 15s. per cwt. advance upon previous rates has been demanded, and, at yesterday's sales in London, has actually been realized, the finest 1851 fruit having sold at 105 s. per cwt. by auction. If these high prices do not materially check the consumption, we cannot at present conjecture to what extent prices may go up, for it is evident we shall not have anything like a sufficiency of stock and imports of fine fruit to carry us on even beyond March or April next, the inferior qualities are said to be scarcely useable, so that they will not be likely to interfere much in keeping prices down.. Our present stock in bond is now brought down to about 250 tons; and in this small stock we must have more than one-third of a quality not worth the duty, and must be destroyed or exported. In Raisins, at this season of the year, just on the eve of first importations, we naturally expect very little doing, and it would only tend to mislead our friends to give any positive quotation of Muscatels or Valencias, prices being quite nominal. Black Raisins, which we noticed in our last circular as being scarcely inquired for, and might be bought upon lower terms, have again revived, and within the last few days we have sold upwards of 650 barrels, at advancing prices, and for the few that are remaining unsold 275. 6d. to 28s. per cwt. is again demanded. Sultanas are scarcely saleable, and, as new are arriving, holders of old fruit will have to submit to lower rates to force sales. New Valencias have already arrived, and have sold in London at 425., which, considering the prices abroad, is exceedingly moderate, and unless we hear of the growers accepting lass prices, we may consider this price will be maintained, when further supplies come in, which may be daily looked for. Barcelona Nuts are in steady demand at our quotations, and the same may be said as regards Turkey Nuts, but parties only take them as wanted, in limited quantities. No Oranges at present in the market. Lemons continue to come in, and fine ready sale at our quo- tations.' LATEST NEWS. THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. DESTRUCTION OF A RUSSIAN MAN-OF-WAR.

HEAD, Mr. MANN understood that the Mayor had received a com- munication from the: Commissioners of Birkenhead,. which, from its nature, war of so much consequence that it was exceedingly desirable that it should be brought before the Council at once. This suggestion meeting with general approval, the TOWN- CLERK read the commumeation, which coeleisted of a copy' of the resolidions, passed on the previous evening., at the meeting of the Birkenhead Commisaioners, as follows:- "The chairman having brought forward' the • subject of opening a communication with. the Mayor and; Town Council' of the borough of Liverpool, ax to the incorporation of the- townships of Birkenhead and elaughton with the borough of Liverpool, it was moved by Mac Laird, and seceded by Mr.• Gough,—` That the subject be referred to the Finance Com- mittee, with power to communicate. with the Town-Council of Liverpool thereon, to learn the sentiments of the Chuncil; and to report to this board before proceeding further.'—.And, the board having divided, and there appearing, for the motion, 14, against it, 3; the motion was carried. Resolved,—That Mr. Laird be requested to communicate :kith the Mayor and Town Couieil of Liverpool on the subject of the foregoing minute, and th report thereon to the committee:" Mr,- Hanienv: said his opinion was- in favour of such an arrangement as that which the resolution of the Birkenhead Commissioners appeared to contemplate, and he believed it would be found most advantageous ; but)-in the present stage of the business,- • he. did not see that they could do anything • more than refer it to some committee- to confer with the Birkenhead Commissioners ' • and, without binding the Council to anything; •to endeavour to come to, some arrange-- ment that would' be satiefactory to both parties-, and to submit; it to the Council•for consideration.—flioar, hear.) It ap- peared to him ihat• the details of such an amalgamation might be very easily arranged,. and that there were-no greater diffi- cvdties to be encountered than had already been overcome in the amalgamation: .of'the old borough of Lii-erpoot with the out-townships, which aural&mmation had been found to work very well and very moth to the advantage of all parties. He would suggest thatilie•subject should be refeera to the same committee which had under its management thenew Birken- head Docks. There-were many gentlemen on that committee who were members.ofthe Deck and Finance f;&mmittees, and if there was a dfsposition,on, both sides to meet-the question fairly and liberally, -he thought that no diffieulties whatever were likely to arise which might not. be easily overcome. Mr. ROBERTSON, GLADSTONE seconded the motion. Mr. BENNETT thought-theinquiry should be s-extended as td.embrace the question lof greatly enlarging the. boundary on both sides of the river. 111, own opinion was that the 'liits of the horongl4.-on, the- Lancashire tilde- the river, should be very muchenlarged re and he had reexel the Town- clerk say that the• facilities• for the transaction-of public business would be -sexy:-much increased by such my arrange- ment. He thereforoYmoved.that the committea,to -whom the communication from Birkenhead might be reterrcd;. should take this subject intc.their:consideration also. Mr.. BMAXLEY-M00.671, was afraid that Mr, Bennett • the • • • 111 r-r tr .dons in• same meeerry. e•see jec lc eas. o t before them by the eommunication from the Carmus• stoThers of Birkenhead was a comparatively simple one, alich,one.which a committee could fital.•with, with great facility;. but the question of enlarging the parliamentary boundary-Iva& one which was much more eliffitulte and much more- complicated. It. was-true that neither-yhjeot could be effected.without an act-of.parliament ; btl the difficulties to be overcome-would be:very much greater in. the-- one- ease than in the -other,. and themeaeure necessary, to effect it would, in fact;_ be•a, new Reform Bill. He would 4suggest„ therefore, to his--friend: Mr. Bennett, that he should: not: embarrass a question in which they were all deeply interested,. by mixing it up, with-another which, was much mots-complioated; and which involved. very different considerations. Mr.. REZNA.BD 1-140"ilt saki; perhaps the Towntelerk.mald explaht the advantages, of, extending the boundary: ;. and if it were necessary or desirahlef. he- thought it should...le referred to. he same committee: The TOWN-CLERK said it was, quite true that_ with, respect to the present boundary, considerable difficulty had. °centred. When the out-townships were added to the boroughthey were not set out by metes a.ml;bounds,. but were described-as, " the township of Kirkdale-and." the township of Diction,.7 and a line was drawn definingAhat portion of the towabhip of West Derby which was added to the Parliamentary borough.. Now, at that time the bounderiesbetween Kirkdale mid:Walton were in. &pate, and it was the same with respect to,Everbon, while the-boundary line which, was. drawn through', West Derby passed. across fields, some of which were now being. brought into. use for building-purposes_ It was by ne means impro- bable that by sonie, of, the• buildings erected:Ahab boundary line might be eventually taken up, and so that might happen which had happenedhefore,. and had been attended with con- siderable difficulty,.a.house- being partly in „one. parish and partly in another_ He. thought it desirable,Aberefore, that the subject should he. taken up before the fi gas, through which the boundary linepassed,. were covered with buialings to any considerable extent.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. ITALIAN OPERAS AT THE THEATRE ROYAL.—Last night the first of the operas to be given at this theatre commenced with Rossini's favourite opera " Setniramide," the character of the impassioned Babylonish Queen being allotted to Madame Grisi. The other characters were well cast, and as a whole the opera was a " success." The house was tolerably filled by a fashionable and highly interested audience, who testified the delight they experienced by frequent and well-timed applause. So many efforts have been made for the purpose of gratifying the musical taste of the Liverpool amateurs, which have resulted in only partial success, if not absolute loss, that the favourable opening of the present attempt is the more welcome. Whether we re- gard the fame and talent of the individual artistes, or refer to the general merits of the troupe, together with the efficiency of the orchestra and chorus, the effort must be ad- mitted to be a great one, and as such, we trust, will meet with a becoming share of patronage and reward. This evening the performance is to consist of Bellini's celebrated " Sonnambula," and the other operas selected for performance are of the highest order of excellence. THE SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY gave a public rehearsal of Mr. Hackett's new Oratorio, " The Passage of the Red Sea," in Clayton Hall, on Tuesday evening. The performance met with a warm reception throughout, and two of the chorusses were enthusiastically encored. The piece was produced under the superintendence of its composer; Mr. Hackett, himself, presiding at the organ. Mr. Saunders acted as conductor. AT THE THEATRE ROYAL, Madame Celeste and Mr. B. Webster have concluded their temporary engagement, having appeared each night during the past week. The leading piece in their round of entertainments has been the new drama, "Janet Pride," a fearfully acted and revolting piece of melo- dramatic art. Its situations and incidents are of the most harrowing character, without, as far as we can perceive, having even the intention of inculcating a healthy moral or a useful lesson. Intense scenic excitement seems its only aim, and that has been fully achieved by the acting of the leading parts. The same artistes are to appear during the present week at the Royal Amphitheatre. AT THE ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE, the English Opera Com- pany have been performing throughout the past week to tolerably good and enthusiastic audiences. The pieces have been chiefly those performed during the preceding week. ZOOLOGICAL OABDENS.-ROYAL OAK GALA. - The attractions of this interesting place of recreation and instructive amusement continue to draw large crowds of visitors. On Monday next there is to be a grand gala at the Gardens, given by the committee and members of the Royal Oak Society, who, we understand, are using every exertion in their power to render the monster gala unusually attractive. They seem resolved to make it the greatest festival that has been held for years, and for this end, regardless of expense, they have engaged several artists of extraordinary talent, from various parts of England, who will come to Liverpool expressly for the occasion, and appear on that day only. In the mean time, the spirited proprietor, Mr. J. Atkins, whose per- severance and exertions to entertain and accommodate the public have been beyond all praise, is making every necessary preparation for the comfort and convenience of the visitors. The fire-works are to be on an unwonted scale of magnificence and grandeur ; several extra marquees and refreshment bowers will be erected in the gardens, and the whole of the refresh- ment department under the able superintendence of Mr. W. Holt, who, for several years, has given the most unlimited satisfaction. Should the weather prove fine, we have not the slightest doubt that the number of visitors will exceed those on any former occasion, and that each will enjoy a day of real pleasure, and return home perfectly satisfied. ARRIVAL OF THE EAGLE FROM MELBOURNE.—The Aus- tralian clipper ship Eagle, Captain Murphy, belonging to the " Eagle Line " of Australian packet ships, arrived in Liver- pool on Sunday, about 11 a.m. The Eagle has on board about 44,000 ounces of gold, valued at about £175,000, on freight, besides a large quantity in the hands of passengers. The Eagle sailed from Melbourne on the 31st of May, and her dates of intelligence have, consequently, been anticipated. The Essex, for London, sailed on the 3d ; the Boomerang, for Liverpool, on the 7th, and the Northumberland, for London, on the 12th of June. The Eagle had light winds during the early part of her voyage, and was detained eight days off Cape Clear. On the 20th of June, when in lat. 56'35 S., lon. 1'33 W., she saw two large icebergs, and on the 24th saw two more ; on the 21st July, in lat. 24 S., lon. 26'40 W., she spoke the Boomerang, from Melbourne to Liverpool, remain- ing three days in her company. The Eagle crossed the Equator on the Ist of August. In addition to the gold already mentioned, and a valuable cargo, the Eagle brings the following cabin passengers, viz.—Capt. Geo. W. Cole, M.L.C., lady, five children, and two servants • Mrs. Cauty and child, MissMcCrae, Mrs. Miller, Col. Beresford,: Messrs. Henry Beres- ford, Sam. Prenell, Henry Prince, Wm Prince, and Jas. Brown. Besides those named, there were also 25 fore-cabin and 65 intermediate passengers. On their arrival, the passengers presented Captain Murphy with two written testimonials, expressive of their high sense of his urbanity and kindness ; as well as in approval of his skilful seamanship, and general attention to their interests and comforts. It is satisfactory to know that no death or case of sickness occurred on board the Eagle, either on her out or homeward voyage. THE WATERPROOF TWEED CLOAK, From 9s. 9d. NEW AUTUMN MANTLES NOW READY.

YESTERDAY the important intelligence was received that, after a siege of about eleven months, and for the magnitude of the operations perhaps the most memo- rable in history, the fortress of Sebastopol, the strong- hold of the Russians in the Crimea, had fallen into the hands of the Allied forces. The news has come in an official despatch from General SIMPSON to the Minister of War, so that there can be no mistake about it. It appears, from the brief account received, that, on Saturday night, after the loss of the Malak-- hoff, the Russians evacuated the whole of the south side of the harbour, having first exploded their maga- zines and set fire to the town. They also destroyed all the ships excepting three steamers, and broke down the bridge which connected the north and south sides of the harbour.

RAucn has just completed the monument of the late King of Hanover. The dead monarch lies on the sarcopha- gus in an Hussar dress, watched by four angels, two praying and two singing. The statue is of a whiter marble than the tomb. The stern, uncompromising features are softened by the appearance of slumber.

IVERPOOL ROYAL INFIRMARY.---It is I with much regret that the Committee find themselves com- pelled to make an urgent APPEAL to the Public on behalf of this Institution. Owing to the serious diminution in the Income, from a falling off in Donations and Legacies, which amounted, in 1852, to £2,219. 1853, £1,315 ; 1854, £775; and the high prices of all Articles of• Consumption. the past year closed with a heavy Debt of nearly £1,400, which is daily increasing, from the same causes being still in operation. Unless this be checked by timely suc- cour, no alternative will be left but to curtail the Relief hitherto afforded to the Sick and Disabled Poor of the community; a course much to be deprecated, and one from which rue Committee hopefully trust the Public will spare them the necessity of re- sorting.

The attention of the Public is invited to the following Experi- ments (see Liverpool Mercury and Standard of following dates:) " Liverpool, December Bth, 1854. " We hereby certify that we have this day witnessed some very highly satisfactory experiments at 'Miners' Plicenix Safe Works, proving the perfect security of their newly-patented Gunpowder- proof Solid Locks and Safe Doors,' against attempti to force the same open with gunpowder; the door of another safe, experi- mented upon, fitted with the open six-lever and detector lock, although of equal strength, being shattered and blown off by the explosion of the gunpowder introduced through the key-hole.— Wm.

CAUTlON.—Milners' Holdfast Safes are of three qualities— the cheapest superior to any other safes—and range under three Lists, namely, Milners' Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 2, at 10s. per foot; "Miners' Strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 3, at 15s. per foot; Milners' First-class Strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 4, at 20s. per foot. The public are deceived by comparisons being made between the prices of the latter superb class of Milners' Safes and the inferior articles offered by incompetent makers to booksellers, ironmon- gers, brokers, or any others who will incur the serious responsibi- lity of selling them, which are really worthless articles, and dear at any price.
