A desperate affray with poachers took place at Long. worth Moor, Belmont, about six miles from Bolton, a, an early hour on Monday morning. Four keepers named Gabriel, Edmund, Henry, and James Berry, brothers, with four assistants, named Samuel Preston, Jonathan Higham, John Kay, and John Bentley, in the service of Mr. J. Hick, M.P., and Mr. E lmund Ashworth, of Egerton (the former of whom has the right of shooting over Longworth Moor), having yea, son to suspect that a marauding party were out, concealed themselves on the road which runs sem* the moor to the township of Turton. Shortly after 12 o'clock about fifteen poachers were observed ap. preaching. The keepers allowed the whole to pass except two, when Henry Berry jumped up with the view of effecting their capture. The poachers made a stand, and a fearful struggle took place between them. The keepers, from the fact of wearing green livery, were very easily singled out from the rest, and appeared to be the main object of vengeance. Two of the poachers attacked Henry, three more Edmund, and several others James Berry, all of wtom were rendered insensible. The enconnter lartod for about half an hour, and in the end the poachers got clear away. They left behind them a bundle of net sticks, a couple of nets, and other articles, which it is believed may furnish a clue to their identity. Gabriel Berry, with the assistance of Highs= and Bentley, who escaped with only slight cuts, succeeded in removing his wounded companions to the house of Mr. John Emmett, at Belmont, where they were at. tended to by Mr. Douglas of Bolton. The brothers Berry were found to be frightfully injured, James having his skull fractured at the base to such an extent that the brain protruded. He had also sustained three other wounds on various parts of the head, and he now lies in an exceedingly critical condition. Henry has received a fracture of the nose and of one arm, besides two wounds on the forehead, each an inch and a half in length, and a large scalp wound. Edmund has three wounds on the forehead, penetrating to the bone, and two inches in length. Two of the assistants are also badly injured, Kay having his nose completely cut through, and Preston having received two severe scalp wounds. From the native of the injuries, it is believed that the poachers, in addition to being armed with bludgeons, carried axes or lath splitters. The keepers hat simply staves. On Monday evening Sergeant Chadwick app: e. hended a man, named John Bamsden, a collier, of Stable Row, St. Helens, on suspicion of having been concerned in the affray. His head is covered with bandages, the man having sustained some half dozen scalp wounds, besides a cut on the upper lip. Ile alleges that on Sunday night, whilst in a state of intoxication, he lost his way, and rambled up the Belmont Road, where he ITU attacked by two men, who also attempted to rob him of his watch. There is no change in the condition of James Berry, and his brother Henry is also reported to be in a critical state. Some further particulars have been gleaned by the police, from which it appears that the poachers had with them three dogs, which attacked the keepers with great ferocity. Fortunately, however, the keepers' legs were well protected by leather coverings. One of the poachers was left behind, as it was thought, inset Bible, but whilst Gabriel Berry and Bentley were removing their wounded comrades, he either managed to crawl away or was removed by the remainder of the gang. Strange as it may appear, Jas. Berry, though so terribly wounded, was one of the most active of the keepers for several hours after the affray, actually driving over to Darwen to g.ve informntion to the police.  llr. W. J. Law, late chief commissioner of the In. solvent Debtors Court, died at Brighton on the 15th inst.

Tie proceedings of the Church Congress at pool, were brought to a conclusion on Saturday, when the Avhbishop of York preached a sermon in Chester Cat he&al on science and religion. It is now generally understood throughout the diocese of Edinburgh that the successor to Bishop Terrot will be one of the following gentlemen a—The Rev. 7. F. Montgomery, St. Paul's Edinburgh; the Rev. D. F. Sandford, Edinburgh; or the Very Rev. Provost Cazenove, of Cumbrae. It may be mentioned; however, that Bishop Terrot has not yet actually resigned.
