A LETTER from Munich states that King Maximilian had

would prevent his Majesty from being present at the opening
of the Chambers.
HER MAJESTY has presented the Rev. Dr. Hall, chaplain to
the British Embassy at Paris, a diamond ring, as a mark of
approbation of the manner in which he twice officiated in her
presence, at St. Cloud.
SANDON-HALL, in Staffordshire, the seat of the Earl of
Harrowby, which was burnt down about seven years ago, has
been rebuilt, and is so far completed that the noble earl and
his family occupied it, for the first time, on their return from
London on Thursday week. Its erection has occupied four
years.
MARSHAL RADETZKI last week feted his fiftieth anniver-
sary of his promotion to the grade of general. He is 89
years of age, and has served 71 years. In reply to an auto-
graph letter from the Emperor Francis Joseph, congratu-
lating him on the restoration of his health, the old general
has requested to be allowed to retire.
THE REV. GEORGE FARNCOMB WRIGHT, MA., fellow of

PRINCE FREDERICK WILLIAM, son of the Prince Royal

it is unnecessary to explain more fully.
THE Bisnor OF LONDON preached again on Sunday week
at Erafrath, near Dusseldorf. He has derived so much benefit
from his stay at Dusseldorf both in his sight and in his gene-
ral health, that he will be able to proceed up the Rhine in the
course of a few days, making a tour into Switzerland before
_ .
VISIT OF THE KING OF SARDINIA TO PARIS.—The arrival
of the King of Sardinia in Paris is announced for to-day, ex-
cepting some extraordinary events prevent His Majesty's
departure from Piedmont. No feastings or rejoicings will
take place during his stay in Paris, on account of the mourn-
ing for his Majesty's mother, wife, and brother. The King
comes to see the Exhibition and visit the Emperor, his ally ;
his suite will be very limited : his official residence will be at
the Chateau du Compeign and the Tuilleries, while in Paris.
There will be only one grand review at the Champ de Mars.
STABBING.—There were two cases of stabbing at the police-
court, on Saturday. Catherine Price, the wife of a dock
labourer, was charged with inflicting a serious wound on the
cheek of a widow named Elizabeth Johnson, They are
neighbours, and lived in Gore-street, Toxteth-park. On
Thursday morning the prisoner went into Johnson's house,
and they began to quarrel about a shirt which the latter had
missed. During the altercation the prisoner called the other
"an old liar," when the latter struck her. The prisoner, who
at the time was opening a cockle with a knife, rushed upon
the old woman, and inflicted a severe gash on her cheek.
She was removed in a fainting state to the Southern Hospital,
where the wound was dressed. Mr. Garland, who had at-
tended her, stated that when admitted she was suffering from
an incised wound on the left cheek, which had been caused
by some sharp instrument. She could not yet open her
mouth. The prisoner was remanded. In the second case,
Louis Petrie, seaman, belonging to the American ship Milton,
of New York, was charged with stabbing Bridget Calligan, a
girl of ill-repute. The latter stated that the prisoner was in
her house on Monday, about midnight, in a state of intoxica-
tion, and that, without saying anything to her, he suddenly
drew his knife from his sheath behind him, and aimed a blow
at her throat. She tried to elude the knife, which caught
her in the neck, producing a slight wound. She gave infor-
mation to the police, which led to the apprehension of the
prisoner. She had never seen him before. Mr. Sayer, of the
Northern Dispensary, stated that the prosecutrix was brought
in on Tuesday morning. She had a wound, two inches long
and three-quarters of an inch deep, cutting through the super-
ficial fibres of the muscles. She would not be able to move
her neck for a fortnight. The prisoner declared he was never
out of his ship on the night in question ; and on sending for
the shipkeeper, and a sailor, his statement was fully borne
out. It being evident that the girl had been mistaken in the
identity, he was discharged.
AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION.—The Gipsy Bride, Captain
Murphy, of the " Liverpool line," sailed from Liverpool for
Melbourne, yesterday, with 250 passengers, a full cargo of
valuable merchandise, and a ship letter bag. The Royal Mail
ship Red Jacket, of the " White Star" line, went into the river
on Sunday, and will sail for Melbourne on Thursday, with the
mails for the Australian colonies. She will have nearly all her
berths full, and will carry about 300 passengers ; she has also
on board a large and valuable cargo of general merchandise.
The Monica, an extra packet of this line, will be dispatched for
Melbourne early in October. The mails of the 20th proximo
will be conveyed by the Mermaid, Captain Devey, which has
completed two very rapid passages to the antipodes. She was
to leave Melbourne early in July, and may be shortly expected.
The Indian Queen, Captain Jobson, belonging to the Black
Ball" line, went into the river on Saturday, and will sail in a
day or two for Melbourne, with a full cargo of general merchan-
dise and about 100 passengers. She will be succeeded on the
6th proximo by the Royal Mail ship Schomberg, Captain J. N.
Forbes, which will carry a full number of passengers and cargo.
Some novelties are introduced in the fittings of this celebrated
ship worthy of attention. Her 'tween decks are fitted up with
iron berths throughout, and have a very pretty and light
appearance. Her iron tanks are fitted to carry either water or
provisions, and, while they are able to bear any weight placed
upon them, they act as permanent ballast for the ship. The
fore-yard of the vessel is a hollow iron tube, made of i-inch
plates, and the invention of which is claimed by Mr. John
Clare, jun. The Emigration Commissioners have advertised
for vessels to carry emigrants to Melbourne and Adelaide,
each to be ready for passengers between the Ist and 9th of
November, as may hereafter be determined. The Fiery Cross
is now loading east side of Prince's Dock, for Melbourne.
This ship attracts considerable attention; she is, without doubt,
the finest modelled vessel yet built at this port. Her poop
accommodations are very elegant and commodious. The Fiery
Cross takes neither intermediate or steerage passengers, and
is under engagements to sail on the sth October.
LANCASHIRE BURIAL BOARDS.—Returns were issued on
Friday of the fees determined upon by each of the Burial
Boards established under acts of the last three sessions, for
burials in the consecrated and unconsecrated ground respec-
tively, with the manner of their appropriation. St. Anthony's
Cemetery, Liverpool, has not, as yet, been opened, and no
scale of charges has yet been decided upon ; and Toxteth-park
Cemetery has but just been commenced. The corporation of
Warrington have only very recently been invested with the
powers of a Burial Board, and their cemetery is not yet con-
structed. At Bury the subject of fees has not yet been con-
sidered by the Burial Board, as the Vestry declined to vote
any money for the purposes of a cemetery ; and the Lancaster
Burial Board have not yet determined upon a table of fees,
nor the manner of their appropriation. The Burial Board of
Preston, however, have adopted the following scale of fees,
which may serve as a guide in other cases :—The minister re-
ceives 2s. for reading the service, and 10s. 6d. extra if the per-
son buried has been brought from another parish ; £1 4s. for
the privilege of placing a stone over the grave, and £1 4s. extra
for a tomb : £4 for a single vault, and £lO for a double vault.
The clerk's fee is only 6d. The sexton receives 3s. 6d. for a
grave for an adult, and 2s. 6d. for a child's grave; and is.
when called upon to remove and replace a stone. There is also
a fee of is 6d. for tolling the bell. Irrespective of the preced-
ing, the following charges are made by the Board :—For a
general grave, ls. 6d.; for a private grave in perpetuity, £1;
for a single vault, £2 ; for a double vault, £4. These charges
are doubled in the case of persons not resident within the
township. The charge for the privilege of placing a stone
over a grave, we observe, in going through the returns, is un-
usually high, £1 ls. being the highest in any other place in
England, wherein a burial board has been established, and
half that amount being a nrlcb more usual charge,

SPIRIT OF "PUNCH."
A THOUGHT WHILST SMOKING.—Love is like a
cigar—the longer it burns the less it becomes.
A CORRESPONDENT wants to know whether, con-
sidering the great utility of the oeean, poets are not
wrong to call it " a waste of water !"
PROCRASTINATION.—It is with our good intentions

PROSPECTS OF THE MILL.—If we may judge of
warfare by the analogy of pugilism, our arms will
very soon be triumphant. The Russians come up

LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.—One of the assistants
in the reading-room of the British Museum has pub-
lished a pair of new boots, that are making a deal of
noise just at present in the literary world.
A Four, COPY.—The imitation of Peel in every re-
spect is proposed by Sir James Graham to himself,
It will not do. Graham will always differ from Peel,
in wanting the property of being candid.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
A POLITICAL prisoner named Mancini has just escaped from
prison, where he had feigned invanity for some months. It is
supposed that he got on board one of the French steamers
that ply between Ripa Grande and Civita Vecchia, and the
police are in a great rage at his flight, because he was consi-
dered to be Mazzini's head man after the Advocate Petroni.
NAPLES.—A correspondent of the Morning Post, writing
from Naples, under date of August 25, says, "Persecution
continues unabated. I send you some examples, although in
themselves perhaps ridiculous. The Neapolitian aristocracy,
well known for its base and ignorant administration of all
the cruelties committed by the King and his agents, has at
last itself fallen under the lash of the all-powerful police.
The Prince Palliano Colonna's salons at Capo di Monte are
thrown open once a week to all the elite of the Neapolitan
beau monde, as well as to foreigners of distinction. A few
evenings ago the entrance of the palace was invaded by the
police, who insisted on taking down the names of all the
guests as they left their carriages. The porter, not under-
standing the meaning of the proceeding, remonstrated,
and a row ensued, which reached the rooms above, alarm-
ing. the company. The Duke of Sangro, who had just
been obliged to sign his name, explained the story.
The panic was such that all the company, beaded
by the Minister of War, Prince Tschitella, and including
foreigners, instantly left the house, so that at eleven
o'clock there was nothing to be seen but lights and
melting ices. This occurrence, with similar facts, have created
a feeling of intense animosity against Mazza, Minister of Police,
who is indifferent to public opinion, possessing his sovereign's
confidence. On a late occasion the Duke of Birona, a well-
known person in Naples, was reported by a spy, who visited
his house, as having spoken against the severities of the police,
whereupon his doorway was watched by police agents, and
himself carefully looked after. The duke waited upon the
King and complained of these proceedings, stating that he
had always been attached to the royal cause. His Majesty
replied that that might be, but now lie was imbued with the
spirit of opposition to the government. Yesterday, the persons
who on a late occasion accompanied a deceased deputy to the
grave, were imprisoned for so doing. In fact, lam tired of
narrating the injustice which takes place every day in this
unhappy city. The King seems to be bent on bringing him-
self into trouble by offending all classes. The King and go-
vernment, as you are aware, are thoroughly Russian, and the
Swiss soldiers are schooled to hate France and England.
SPAlN.—According to the Madrid Gazette of the 10th inst.
the " forced loan " will be made up by voluntary contributions.
A despatch of the 11th says :—"Not less than 450,213 domains
were sold to-day ; the upset price was three millions and a
half (of reals), and the purchasing price seven millions."—A
band of insurgents, who had made their appearance in the
province of Madrid, have been completely destroyed. All goes
well at Barcelona.—The Clamor Publics says that five infan-
try regiments are to be suppressed. The death of the Bishop
of Santander is announced. The floating debt rose during the
month of August by 1,000,000 reals, and was on the 31st ult.
606,043,333 reals. ( The real is worth five sous.) The cholera
continues at Tolosa, Zarauz, Fontarabia, and other towns on
the Bidassoa ; it is also increasing in the Asturias.—The Spa-
nish papers announce a sad afl'air at Malaga a few days ago.
Four English sailors, in a state of intoxication, got into a fight
with some men, and one of the sailors was killed and another
wounded. Three of the assailants were arrested.
BRAZILS AND EWER PLATE.—The Great Western arrived
on Thursday, with dates from Buenos Ayres to the 2d of
August ; Monte Video, sth ; Rio Janeiro, 14th ; Bahia, 18th;
Pernambuco, 21st; St. Vincent, 30th; Teneriffe, September
4th ; Madeira, sth ; and Lisbon, 9th. At Buenos Ayres mea-
sures were being taken to trace the accomplices in the late
conspiracy against the government, but without success. The
position of the new ministry was precarious, and it was cur-
rently reported that the militia forces on the southern frontier
against the Indians had disbanded themselves. Rumours were
also in circulation of a combination of all parties in Monte
Video against the Brazilians. At Rio the parliament was
about to close. The senate had approved a bill for the indem-
nification of the prizes made during the war of independence,
and also had ordered payment to be made to the Earl of Dun-
donald. A bill had also been passed which extended the
liberty of voting. At Bahia yellow fever had disappeared, but
cholera was prevailing. Business was very (lull in consequence.
The disease was confined chiefly to the blacks, and very few
cases were reported in the town. At Coxoeira, a town on the
border of the river Paraguay, about 1000 deaths had occurred
among a population of 12,000 people. There was a great
scarcity of provisions, and many of the inhabitants, from fear
of the epidemic and to avoid stwation, were leaving for the
interior.

CONDUCT OF TEE ALLIED GENERALS.
On the 23rd the army advanced to the Katcha, and not
encountering the enemy there pushed forward on the fol-
lowing day to the Belbeck, where they only found a few
detachments occupying the entrenchments at the mouth of
that river. It was now evident that Menschikoff was de-
termined not to wage a second battle in open field, and thus
the opportunity of retrieving the mistake on the Alma upon
the banks of one or other of the neighbouring rivers slipped
from the grasp of the Allied commanders. Now that they
stood in close proximity to the works of Sebastopol as well
as to the army of Menschikoff, the Allies, amounting to
50,000, all at once discovered how much they had under-
rated the difficulties of the expedition, and in what dispro-
portion their means were to the magnitude of the under-
taking. At the same time considerations as to their
own safety began to press heavily upon them. The Rus-
sian reinforcements from Odessa were rapidly moving down
by way of Perekop : thus if they persisted in their plan of
operations against the northern fortifications, they ran the
risk of losing their land communication with Eupatoria,
and of being taken in the rear by a relieving army, while
vainly sacrificing time and forces upon those works. These
motives, and not the sinking of a few vessels at the
entrance to the harbour of Sebastopol, induced St. Arnaud
and Lord Raglan to abandon their design upon the north
fort, and to execute their memorable flank manoeuvre to
Balaklava. The possession of both the harbours of Ka-
miesh and Balaklava secured them in the rear, and offered
a tolerably firm basis of operations. No wonder that both
the leaders felt greatly relieved, when they found them-
selves sheltered ; the French in their enthusiasm going so
far as to call the Bay of Kamiesh the Bay of Providence.
The flank march of the Allies succeeded marvellously.
Had they but taken advantage of the surprise of the
enemy, and attempted an immediate assault upon the
city, which at that moment was weakly garrisoned, they
might possibly have succeeded in carrying both the town
and the arsenal ere the Russians had time to erect regular
works of defence. But, instead of this, they took to pro-
tracted reconnoiterings, in this case overdoing what had
been utterly disregarded on the Alma, where a more accu-
rate reconnaisance would have assisted them in a better
arrangement of the plan of battle. Here, on the contrary,
protracted reconnoiterings led to perpetual indecision and
preparation, and finally to a formal siege, which had never
entered the calculation of the Allies in the original plan of
the expedition. One daring and rapid blow, even at a
heavy sacrifice, might still in the present state of affairs
have led to a favourable issue ; and if the Allies had not
had determination enough at once to have recourse to such
an extreme expedient, they ought immediately to have
returned to their vessels. Pelissier, the present French
commander-in-chief, would in all probability have been
the very man for such a contingency; both Canrobert and
Lord Raglan were wanting in energy. They thought such
an act of daring did not tally with their conscience and the
responsibility devolving upon them. How incomparably
more victims has the winter campaign cost the Allies than
a bold assault under the protection of some easily-con-
structed batteries at the end of September !
Like all military authorities at home and abroad;
106
except those in Downing-street and atithe Horse
Guards, Gperal-klapka condemns the siege on
the south side of Sebastopol by the allies, with-
out having an adequate force under their com-
mand to cut off supplies and reinforcements from
the north.
From the specimens of the work already
adduced, it will be readily observed that its author
is strictly a matter-of-fact man. He avoids
description, and eschews all manner of sentiment,
except the slight indication of it in reference to
restoring or liberating nationalities. His mode
of criticizing military evolutions and diplomatic
tactics is' cold and phlegmatic, but it is also clear
and convincing. He appears thoroughly in
earnest, and speaks his convictions without scruple
or fear.
The History of England, from the Accession of
George 111. to the Accession of Queen Victoria.
By the Rev. T. S. Hughes, B.D. London :
George Bell.
The seventh and eighth volumes of this ably-
written history, being the concluding ones of the
monthly issue, are now before us, and the beauty
of getting up, together with the copious amount
of pictorial illustrations, with which the publica-
tion was started, have been sustained to the end.
The history itself is carefully compiled, and well
written, the present edition including all the
latest corrections and annotations made by the
author, who thoroughly revised the work shortly
before his death. These volumes, as we have on
previous occasions remarked, form a continuation
of the noble history of England by Hume and
Smollett, bringing the narrative of events down
from the earliest authentic periods to nearly the
present day. The whole series consists of eighteen
handsome and elegant volumes, which are pub-
iished A a very cheap rate ; a rate, indeed, which
can only reimburse the publisher for his outlay
by a very large sale, a practical acknowledgment
of its value to which it is fully entitled.
Dublin
The Dublin University Magazine.
James McGlashan.
The September number of this publication, like
the other productions of the season, is rich with
mellow fruit. It opens with five chapters of
Harry Lorrequer's new tale of " Glencore, and its
Fortunes," in which the racy style and vivid
colouring of Lever are conspicuously visible, and
as usual sparklinc, and delightful. These charm-
ing chapters are followed by an ably-written paper
on " Bunsen's Egypt." To these succeed a valu-
able assortment of prose and poetry, including
some excellent literary criticisms and essays, com-
prehending two valuable papers, one on the litera-
ture of Italy during the tercento ; the other on
Russian Literature," in which the moral and
social bearing of the literature of Russia is con-
sidered, chiefly as illustrated in the writings of
Nicholas Gogol, a native of Little Russia, who
perished about two years since, through an
agency similar to that which has invariably cut
short the career of every man in Russia who has
sought to establish in those mind-bound regions
the slightest movement in the way of intellectual
freedom. Gogol was eminently a delineator of
life and manners, and possessed a rich fund of
genuine humour ; so rich, indeed, that the maga-
zine writer claims for it a consideration to some
extent kindred with that of Swift and Sterne.
Like all his literary predecessors, the instant
Gogol became distinguished he became also an
'object of suspicion to the government ; his
prospects became clouded by misfortune, and
his steps were followed by persecution. To
escape from these he contrived to make his way
to Rome, where he lived for several years. He
was induced to return to Moscow, and took with

him numerous manuscripts, the fruit of hit 3 literary
labour while in exile. In a brief time after his
return, he was seized by mysterious illi less and
died suddenly. The publication of his. writings
was immediately prohibited, and his n ame was
forbidden to be mentioned. Such has been the.
fate and such the reward of literary aspiration in
Russia. The heavy gloom of moral darkness
which overshadows that land of despotism is in-
stantly fatal to the possessor of intellectual light..
The September number of the Dublin contains
also a capital paper on Tennyson's " Maud," and
is wound up by a terse and vigorously constructel
review of the legislative and other proceeding.o.
of the last session of parliament. The sketch,;
though rapid, is bold and complete.
Fables par le Chevalier Chatelain. London.
The Chevalier de Chatelain is favourably known:
to the public for his poetical translation of Gatfs
Fables, and also for his admirable rendering into
French of Chaucer's " The House and the Leff.."`
In the work before us he appears as poet on his
own account, and one of no mean pretensions-
The book contains no less than fifty origimal
fables, in that easy, joyous kind of metre which
is peculiarly French ; and there are also several,
minor pieces, some of them bearing special refer,
ence to recent events. It is such works as,this
which makes the study of the French language
so pleasant, and we recommend it to thooe who
are desirous to become proficient in its idiomatic
peculiarities.
Hogg's Instructor. Edinburgh : James Hogg.
The September number of this miscellany main-
tains its character as a serial of varied usefulness,
in which instruction is happily blended with
amusement.
LOVE AND BEAUTY-WOMAN'S
CONSTANCY.
IT is quite possible for a man, or woman either,
to be too handsome. We do not pretend that it
is an original remark, springing from our own
brain, because our conscience forces ua to ac-
knowledge the working. Nevertheless,, it is an
observation which few make, and fewer still will
confess to be true. Therefore we intend to enter
the lists in behalf of ugliness. From this declara-
tion it will doubtless be concluded that we are
some old bachelor, ugly enough to " frighten the
crows," as country children say ;, but decidedly
not the case.
Having thus given out our thesis, it is our
intention to illustrate it by a tale—an " ower true
tale," as the annuals would write ; and, moreover,
we judge it best at once to acknowledge That it is
a love-tale —nothing but a common-place love-
tale ; no wonderful self-devotion, no " heroism
in humble life," will be found therein ; therefore,
gentle reader, it is useless to seek it. And, after
this exordium, we will begin.
Philip Heathcote lived in a country town,
where he was the beau, par excellence—the
Adonis, Apollo, Narcissus, of almost every young
lady from fifteen to fifty ; and, to tell the truth,
Philip was indeed very handsome. We have no
intention of describing categorically his eyes, nose,
and mouth, because beauty is entirely a personal
matter. It is seldom that two people agree on
the subject. Each of them has his or her ideal
of perfection, and judges others to a certain
extent as they approach to or divorce from this
image formed in each mind. Ugliness becomes
beauty, and beauty ugliness, according to one's
own fancy. There is no glamour so complete as
that of a loving eye. Therefore, let each fair one
picture our young hero as resembling her own,
and she will like Philip Heathcote all the better.

THE Qtrzaw, in her visit to France, did not escape the
petitioning fraternity, for it is asserted that not fewer than
100,000 petitions or begging letters were forwarded to her !
THE beadle of a parish church in Easter Ross, being unable
a few Sundays ago to ring the church bell, climbed up to the
belfry, and discovered that a swallow had attached her nest to
the clapper.
Tim satisfactory appearance of the vineyards in the ro-

duction of 30 per cent. in the price of wine, and the grapes
themselves are sold at a low price.
A CAST-STEEL BELL, weighing 5 cwt., has been placed in

THE DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND has been expending
£50,000 a year in rebuilding cottages, farm-houses, and build-
ings, and on draining lands on his vast estates in Northum-

on in the stately castles of Alnwick and Warkworth.
THE JEwiss NEW YEAR commenced on Thursday. This
is one of the most interesting of the many festivals of this
peculiar people, and is celebrated by Jews all over the world.
It lasts four days, and during that period there is no work
done, from the highest to the humblest.
FALKIRK TRYST.—The September sheep market was held
on Monday last week, on the usual stance at Stenhonse-muir.
The show of stock was the smallest which has been witnessed
at a September market for the last quarter of a century.
There were few dealers on the ground, and the sales were any-
thing but brisk.
A PRIVATE in the Royal Artillery, John Neale by name, has
been committed for the manslaughter of Andrew Williams,
another private, during a drunken quarrel in the Cambridge
barracks at Portsmouth. The deceased interfered between two
others, when Neale fell upon him and beat him about the
head with a scrubbing-brush till he was dead.
THE fist Deutsch Post states that the fortune left by the
late Baron Dietrich of Vienna to his grandson, Prince Sulkow-
sky, amounts to 18 millions of florins (about 45 millions of
francs.) There were found in a cellar 22 bags, each containing
1,000 ducats in gold (the ducat is over 11 francs), and in
different chests securities, out of date and lost, for a sum of
188,000 florins.
ADVANCE IN PRICES.—A general advance in the price of
white and brown sugar, and also candles, took place last week
in London. For the latter article, which has hitherto been
61d. per lb., an advance of ld. has taken place, and for brown
and white sugar the increase has been ld. per lb. ; added to
this, intimation has been given to shopkeepers that an ad-
vance will take place in salt.
A SPORTING LADY.—Among the persons who have taken
out game certificates in the county of Leicester for the present
year is a lady, who is housekeeper in the service of a clergyman,
and by her skill materially assists in filling the larder, which
has always been celebrated for its profusion. The exact
number of head of game which fell to her gun on the two first
days are the same as the number of summers which have
rolled over her head—namely, seven and a half brace of birds,
a quarter of hares, and the same number of rabbits.
SUPPLY or WATER TO GLASGOW.—During the last week,
from Monday to Saturday, the Glasgow Water Company
forced into Glasgow 87,780,000 gallons, being on an average
14,280,000 gallons per day. Adding to this the daily supply
furnished to the south side of the river by the Gorbals Water
Company, of about 3,000,000 gallons, the whole supply of
water amounts to 17,280,000 gallons per day, for a population
of 400,000, being upwards of 40 gallons per day for each
inhabitant.
CAVALRY POE TEE EAST.—Orders have been sent to the
Colonel-Commandant at Maidstone, to hold in readiness all
the available unattached to the 10th Hussars, 12th Lancers,
and 13th Light Dragoons, for immediate embarkation for
the Crimea. It is expected that the depot will furnish upwards
of 200 disciplined men. Reinforcements will also proceod to
Lin the Ist and sth Dragoon Guards, 2nd Scots Greys, 4th
ight Dragoons, 6th Inniskillens, Bth Hussars, and 17th
Lancers, and in addition the 7th Hussars at York, and 13th
Hussars at Manchester, have been placed under orders for
foreign service.
WHAT THE GERMANS THINK OF THE FALL OF SEBASTO-
POL.—The correspondent of the Daily News, writing from
Hamburg, on the llth instant, says : The glorious news of
the fall of Sebastopol was received here with great enthusi-
asm and general rejoicing. The quotations of all descriptions
of funds, shares, and other securities—with the exception of
Russian stock—have advanced, and large purchases have been
made. It is generally expected that in consequence of the
great success in theCrinsea, something more will be attempted
in the Baltic before the close of the campaign. It is consi-
dered here not too late'to strike a blow at Cronstadt or Revel,
and now is the time, when the enemy is panic-struck by the
loss of his supposed impregnable strongholds in the south."
Loss or. A TRANSPORT.—The Tagus, arrived at South-
ampton, brings intelligence of the loss of the Canterbury
transport, No. 80, off Viana, on the sth instant. She was on
her passage from Corfu to Portsmouth, with 63 rank and file,
49 women, and 58 children, all of whom were saved. The
crew, consisting of 30 men, have arrived home by the Tagus.

was missed, and on arriving at the latter port on Sunday, it
was -found that he had fallen down the hold amongst some
forty or fifty horned cattle, where he had been trodden upon,
and suffocated in the animals' filth.
CURIOUS CHARGE OF FORGERY.—A young man of respect-
able family, named Boiron, was lately tried by the Court of
Assizes for forgery, and two other respectable young men,
named-Seailles and Piquet, were tried with him as his accom-
plices. The case was rather curious :—Seailles and Piquet,
who are -students, had to undergo examinations, in order to
obtain the degree of bachelor of sciences ; but fearful of being
rejected, they got Boiron to personate them, and he passed
-the examination-for them under their names, and was passed
in their place. To obtain a degree it is necessary for the can-
didates to sign certain documents, and Boiron, on one occa-
sion, signed the name of Seailles, and on another, that of
Piquet. The jury acquitted Seailles and Piquet, and convicted
Boiron. The court sentenced the latter to three years' im-
prisonment, and 100 fr. fine.
AHD-EIACADER IN PARI.S.—Abd-el-Kader has arrived in
Paris. His health continues to improve. He brought with
him some magnificent presents for the Empress and the
ladies of the court. The present for the Empress consists of
a pair of slippers so richly ,set with precious stones as to be
worth 20,000 piastres, and a rich carpet for the side of a bed.
The Princess Mathilde is to receive a rich coffee service in
chased silver, 'in the fashion •of Constantinople, and on the
salver the Enur has caused to he engraved some Arab verses,
complimentary to the Princess. A splendid embroidered
napkin covers 'the salver, and it alone is worth 5,000 piastres.
Accompanying the service is a quantity of Mocha coffee, and
also a mill to grind it, so that the Princess will be able to
drink coffee exactly as it is prepared in the seraglio. The
other objects brought by the Emir consist of pipes, nargilhes,
carpets, scarfs, and other oriental articles.
A "GEErtglraN" SWlNDLER.—Considerable excitement
has been caused in Shrewsbury during the past week. An
individual who had, some twenty years ago, resided in that
town, returned thither recently, and renewed his acquaintance
with several families. He was accompanied by a young lady,
-represented as his daughter, and both received invitations to
partake of the hospitality of many of the principal residents.
The "gentleman" stated that he had just succeeded to a large
fortune, and purposed settling down in Shrewsbury ; and suc-
ceeded in obtaining loans of money to the amount of several
hundred pounds from professional gentlemen, giving as se-
.curity bills drawn by his "Irish tenantry." Circumstances,
however, awakened suspicion that the bills were not genuine,
and-the "gentleman" was watched by the police, who followed
the -young lady from her lodgings in Shrewsbury to the rail-
way station, and thence to Birmingham, where she was joined
by her "papa." Subsequent events dispelled the relationship
of the parties, and the police took the gentleman into custody,
and before the magistrates. Concealed upon his person was
£3lO, the'proeeeds of his trick at Shrewsbury. The young
lady is also being looked after, and it is intended to prosecute
the pair for conspiracy to defraud.
ATVVENILE STEIKE.—On Monday last about 120 of the boys
employed in some of the ship-building yards in the town
struck work for an advance of wages of from 4s. and 4s. dd. to

were unfortunately the cause of throwing several men out of
employment, whose work depended in some measure upon the
presence of the boys. In other respects the strike—though
bearing heavy enough upon some of the parents of those con-
cerned in it—was rather amusing than disastrous, so long as
it lasted, and a little mirth was created by the firmness which
they threatened to display before they would " give in," and
the annoyance to which they subjected all " blacklegs " and
" black faces," it might be added, who would not "come out "
and aid them in their struggle. On being talked with on the
subject they expressed themselves quite as sanguine as their
seniors usually do on such occasions regarding the result of
their strike. Ay," said they, "the masters can get men, but
they cannot get boys, and then whe'll heet the rivets ? The
ship may joost lie for twa or three weeks; it 'ill no spoil, and it
does us guid to be idle a wee." The result showed that they
had not miscalculated very widely, for on Wednesday the
asked-for advance was made, and all hands went to work.

F.4,TAL EarLosiox.—A sad accident occurred on Friday
afternoon, at Messrs. Booth and Vickers' naphtha works, Hors-
ley-fields, Wolverhampton. Shortly after two o'clock a terrific
explosion was heard, and a sheet of flame rushed through the
houses adjoining the works, driving out the windows and
scorching the rooms. One of the houses was occupied by a
woman named Christina Gariality, who was near her confine-
ment, and who, with her child, four years of age, were alone
in the house. On hearing the noise, she caught up her child
and rushed out of the house ; but the devouring flames de-
prived her child of life, and burned her body so fearfully that
her recovery is hopeless. The other house was occupied by
Elizabeth Harley, her daughter, and an infant. Harley
snatched up the child, and wrapping it in her dress, ran into
a pantry, which preserved them from severe injury;; but the
daughter was severely burned, And conveyed to the hospital.
On the opposite side of the house, the volumes of smoke and
flame were seen for miles. Only one man was in the yard at
the time of the explosion ; he was named Barnard Maley, and
he first attempted to escape by a doorway, but it was choked
up with flames. He then attempted to get through the win-
dow of the clarifying shed, but that proved too small. A hole
was then made in the roof with a boat-hook, and the poor
fellow scrambled up to it, holding on the roof with his hands.
A ladder was sent for, but before it arrived, he sank down
into the burning mass, and perished. Several engines were
speedily on the spot, and with a copious supply of water
ndm fro
the canal the flames were prevented from extending, ain
about an hour were subdued. It appears probable that the
accident was caused by a cinder or spark from the furnace
falling into a cask of naphtha, which ran up the pipes and re-
sulted in the sudden explosion. Large casks of naphtha out-
side buildings were msrely scorched by the flames;. .
THE CHARGE OF PARRICIDE AT BATH.-Thomas Tutton,
charged with attempting to poison his father, was finally exa-
mined on Friday last. The presence of, arsenic in the food
given to the father was clearly proved. The prisoner, who
reserved his defence, was committed for trial.
MRS. NORTON, the wife of a clerk in the goods office of the
South-eastern Railway, expired on Saturday morning from the
effects of the collision, and another of the sufferers, Mrs.
Snowden, remains in a most critical condition. She has a
compound fracture of the left leg, and the bone has not been
set. Mr. Skinner, who received a compound fracture of the
left leg, and the other sufferers are going on favourably.
RECANTATION OP SIR WILLIAM DUNBAR.-Sir William
Dunbar, who some years ago was excommunicated by Bishop
Skinner, for schismatical practices, and who defeated the
Primus in-the civil courts, and put him to costs amounting to
some £1,500, having some time ago resigned his incumbency
at St. Paul's, Aberdeen, and returned to England, with a view
to take English preferment, has been refused institution,
until the process of Bishop Skinner should be withdrawn. In
consequence of this he applied to the College of Bishops in
Scotland, with a formal expression of his sorrow and contri-
tion " for having seceded from the Scottish Episcopal
Church," whereupon Bishop Skinner has, with the unanimous
consent of his Synod, granted him absolution.
A YOUTH was charged at Bow-street on Saturday with
stealing the watch of an Egyptian engineer, M. Chahata Issa.
The magistrate decided on committing him for trial. " Give
me my watch," said the Egyptian gentleman, who spoke what
little he knew of the English in au animated style. "Me no
be bothered in dis way. Me no appear again. I have wasted
mush time since already, and I waste no more unless you pay
to me a guinea for every hour !" The worthy foreigner was
assured he would not be detained long at the Old Bailey.
" The old who ?" The process of the trial was explained to
him, but it was long before the officer could get him to accept
the notice to attend at the sessions. The prisoner avowed
his innocence, and complained that the Egyptian nearly
strangled him.
LONG SPEECHES IN PARLIAMENT.-Speaking of Lord
Stanley's plan for terminating the session in June, the In-
verness Courier says :-"A great deal might be done if the
newspapers would-unite, and agree to cut down the reports
to mere summaries, except in the case of a statesman who
really had something to say. There need be no fear of
difference of opinion arising-leave the question to the re-
porters' gallery, where there is only one opinion, namely,
that the members are nearly all humbugs, and that all the
speeches are three-fourths too long. If a talking bore could
hear the comments that come between his sentences, I don't
know whether he would he amused. ' That's right, say it
twain-you haven't repeated it more than nine tunes yet.'
`Bah trying to pick out a long word, because a short one
would make it clear; he is talking nonsense." Why, the
last speaker said that; what are you stealing Isis notions for?'
`Looking up, actually, as if he thought anybody would take
down such bosh,' &c. Another way would be to print, for a
fortnight, all that the members say, and exactly as they
say it."
HORRIBLE MURDER IN FRANCE.-A horrible murder has
just been discovered at Belville, close to Paris. On Saturday
last, the inhabitants of the Rue des Annelets, having re-
marked that a lady named Gaillard, aged 55, living at No. 7,
had not made her appearance for a couple of days, called the
attention of the police to the fact. The house, which con-
sisted of but one story, and had no porter, having been
opened by order of the magistrate, the body of the unfortu-
nate lady was found lying upon the floor in a pool of coagu-
lated blood. It was ascertained that the murderer had used
some heavy instrument to inflict the wounds which caused
the death of his victim. The chest of drawers, desk, and
every other kind of repository, had been ransacked, apparently
for the family papers of the deceased ; but a pair of diamond
ear-rings and a diamond ring were still on her person, and
two gold watches were hanging up near the bed untouched.
The murderer has not yet been discovered.-Gilignaai.
THREE YOUTHS DROWNED.-A very deplorable casualty
occurred on Thursday afternoon, in the neighbourhood of He-
versham,which has occasioned much painful excitement in that
neighbourhood, three of the youths belonging to the Hever-
sham Grammar School having met with an untimely end by
drowning, while bathing on Heversham-marsh. It appears
that the head-master had given permission to a number of the
scholars to bathe at the spot mentioned, and one of the elder
pupils, Edward Joseph Godwin, who was about 20 years of
age, and who was one of the unfortunate three who perished,
went before to look out for a proper spot ; the under-master,
Mr. John Parker, shortly after followed, with a number of the
other scholars, in company with the music-master, Mr. Hud-
son. Godwin and two other youths named Cowell and Rigby,
18 and 19 years of age respectively, were in the water when
the second-master arrived, and were seen by another youth,
Edwin James Horicks, an acquaintance of theirs, but not a
schoolfellow; to launch a piece of wood into the water. It
floated, and they were about it, when Godwin, who was
nearest, called out for assistance, appearing to be out of his
depth, and Cowell and Rigby immediately went to his
aid. Cowell reached him first, and Rigby came up just
afterwards, but they both went under water, as did also God-
win. Both perished in their effort to save their companion.
Another scholar, John Taylor Mawson, about 15 years of age,
went into the water to look for the bodies, but nothing could
be seen of them, and it was not till after 8 o'clock that they
were recovered near where they were observed to go down, a
number of people speedily repairing to the spot, and two boats
being procured to assist in the search. At the place where
the bodies were found there is a break in the sand, and it is
very deep. The second-master had examined the spot the day
before, and did not obserae then any break in the sand. An
inquest was held the following day, at Heversham, on the body
of Mr. E. G. Godwin, and a verdict returned of " Accidentally
drowned."-Kendal Mercury.
POPULATION AND THE POOR Liw.-On Tuesday a return
was published of the population of the unions and parishes
(without unions) in England, Scotland, and Ireland, showing
the amount of workhouse accommodation in each, for the year
the 31st of December, 1854. It hence appears that in

TRIAL OF THE LUXEMBOURG RAILWAY DIRECTORS.
The " tribunal of first instance" sat on the 6th instant at
Brussels, for the purpose of trying Messrs. John Ashwell,
John Masterman, and Sir William Magnay, prosecuted, ex
officio, upon charges of fraud, in connexion with Luxembourg
railway shares. Mr. Ashwell, who has long been in prison,
and subject to rigorous seclusion, was the only one present of
the three accused. Among the English witnesses for the pro-
secution heard were Messrs. Matthew Uzielli, Thomas Cox-
head, and Thomas Klose, of Nottingham, all three immedi-
ately connected with the Luxembourg line. The main charge
against the defendants appears to be-for having converted to
their own benefit and purposes, or to other purposes considered
illegal, several thousand shares, amounting to 3,000 in 1849,
and 7,500 in 1851; for having received interest on.portions of
the same ; and for directing these misapplications to be en-
tered in the books or balance sheets of the company as sums
disbursed for purchases of land, and for defraying legal, engi-
neering, and " parliamentary" expenses. In reply to the
question from the judge, " Whether the shares which were
sent to Belgium by the defendants were accounted for in the
company's books under the latter head ?" Mr. Coxhead ob-
served, Yes ;in England, when railway grants are made,
divers secret expenses ensue. They are regarded as perfectly
regular, and are entered as " parliamentary" expenses. They
may be thus explained :-" When a line is to be constructed,
the first thing done is to employ an agent called parliamen-
tary. He is a person learned in the law, but not a regular
barrister recognised by the courts. He is a sort of private
agent. When a railway grant is conceded in England, it is
necessary to give shares to landholders, to owners of property
on river banks, and to newspaper directors. If they choose to
pay up the first call, they may. In case shares rise, they do.
If shares fall, they are not asked for the difference. The
company then purchase of them these shares, and pay the
difference in order to balance the general account of share-
holders." This system, so detrimental apparently as regards
the general interests of bond fide shareholders, seemed to asto-
nish the court, and all the uninitiated, and may be fairly said
to be founded upon that reversed of " tails you lose-heads I
win." On the 7th the Tribunal Correctional acquitted the
directors of the Luxembourg Railway of the charge of em-
bezzlement :-John Ashwell, as being already proscribed ;
William Magnay and John Masterman, because offence not
sufficiently proven by evidence.
AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.-The report of the Select
Committee of the House of Lords on the best mode of obtain-
ing accurate agricultural statistics Lfrom all parts of the
United Kingdom, with the evidence taken before them, has
just been issued. Mr. Leone Levi, who attended the Statis-
tical Congress, held at Brussels, two years ago, which took
this question into consideration, was one of the witnesses ex-
amined. He had prepared a plan for the collection of such
statistics, which he submitted last year to the Society of Arts.
He proposed the establishment of a central board, authorised
to collect annual returns of the total acreage, and also the
acreage of the several crops, of each parish in England and
Wales, through the local Boards of Guardians, and in Scot-
land through the Highland Society. In his evidence, how-
ever, Mr. Levi stated that he had seen reason to doubt the
expediency of using the agency of the Poor-law Guardians,
owing, as he says, to the unpopularity which surrounds them,
and the reasons which they have themselves given, that they
cannot obtain the co-operation of the agriculturists, and that
gentlemen refuse to co-operate, owing to the small remune-
. ,
ration and the prevalence of party feeling among them. Seeing
what has been done by the Registrar-General in the collection
of the census, Mr. Levi considers that would be the best
medium through which to collect these statistics, which he
thinks might be obtained in the same way:by, leaving
schedules to be filled up with the required information, and
forwarded to the Central Board on or before the first of June
in each year. Inspectors should also be appointed on the
recommendation of the Inclosure and Copyhold Commis-
sioners, to make an inspection and estimate of the crops in
September, and transmit the latter to the Central Board.
This board should be in connection with the Board of Trade,
in order that nothing of a political character should be as-
cribed to it. The committee recommend, in their report, that
the Board of ..Trade should be entrusted with the general
superintendence of the collection of the statistics in Great
Britain, through the medium of the Poor-law machinery in
England and Wales, and of the Highland Society in Scotland ;
and that the Irish Government, in continuing to superintend
the collection for Ireland through the constabulary, should
consult with the Board of Trade from time to time on the
subject, for the purpose of eecuring uniformity in the returns.

THE LIVER
GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
DR. EARTH, whose travels in Central Africa have rendered
him celebrated, arrived at Marseilles on the Bth, in excellent
health.
THE CHOLERA is so violent at Cataneo, in Sicily, that there
is a regular panic. Every one is escaping into the open
country or woods, and trade is completely stagnant.
A CAT at Doncaster has been released alive from beneath a
chamber floor after being confined there for seven weeks. It
is supposed to have been put there by some plasterers when
completing their work.
WILLIAM STRAMAN, Robert Mahin Bates, and Sir John
Dean Paul, Bart., were committed for trial on Wednesday,
charged with feloniously disposing of a large amount of
foreign securities, lodged with them for safe keeping, as
bankers.
A TREMENDOUS CONFLAGRATION' occurred on Monday in
the extensive range of premises belonging to Messrs. George
Baker and Sons, builders, Lambeth. The damage is estimated
at £50,000, exclusive of £2OOO worth of tools belonging to the
workmen, and uninsured.
A MR. W. G. BARKER, a surgeon at Brighton, has been
distinguishing himself by grossly abusing Mr. French, a
reporter, and threatening to strike him because he had
described him in his paper as merely " Mr. W. G. Barker,"
instead of "W. G. Barker, Esq. !" The magistrates bound
over the conceited son of lEsculapius to keep the peace, and
ordered him to pay £1 3s. 6d. costs.
TIIE CHOLERA is raging in Tuscany. The number of cases
throughout the grand duchy averages, according to the
Monitore Toscano, 700 per day. The Grand Duke fre-
quently visits the cholera hospitals, and distributes aid or
consolation to the patients. From the other parts of Italy
the news is satisfactory : the cholera is mild at Rome, and
has nearly ceased at Bologna; it is decreasing fast at Genoa,
as well as in the provinces of Ozieri and Alghero, in the
island of Sardinia. There is still some intensity in Lombardy,
the number of cases throughout the kingdom having been
873 on the 28th ult.
A HARD CASE.—At the Petty Sessions held at Stony-
Stratford, Buckinghamshire, on Friday last, a man named
Levi Henson was charged with firing off a gun within 80 feet
of the turnpike-road. The evidence was very conflicting. The
defendant was employed in a field, and had been ordered by
his master to shoot the birds if they touched the wheat. He
had, it appears, shot a jay, and his master, having measured
the ground, found that the spot was above 80 feet from the
road. The magistrates, however, told the defendant that he
stood convicted " upon the clearest evidence they had ever
heard," and fined the poor fellow £l, with 17s. 6d. costs.—
Bucks Advertiser.
IN TIIE LIST OF KILLED sent home with the last despatch
from General Simpson is the name of Corporal John Shane,
who met with his death under somewhat peculiar circum-
stances. He belonged to the 23rd Welsh Fusiliers, and having
been wounded severely at the battle of the Alma, he returned
to England, and was presented by the Queen with a medal.
During his stay in England, he visited his native place near
Exeter, and having sufficiently recovered he returned to the
Crimea. On the night of the 17th of August he volunteered
as a sharpshooter, and it being moonlight the Russians were
able to take good aim. A ball struck him on the left breast,
cutting his medal in two, and he died almost instantly. The
melancholy intelligence has just been conveyed to his mother,
who lives near Exeter, by a comrade who saw him fall.
RUSSIAN FESTIVITIES AT LEWES.—Tuesday, the 11th
instant, being, according to the Russian calendar, the 31st of
August, the anniversary of the christening of Alexander 11.,
Emperor of all the Russias, and his consequent reception into
the holy Greek Church, which is the occasion of national
rejoicing in Russia, was duly celebrated by the prisoners of
war at Lewes, at the expense of his Imperial Mikjesty, who
remitted the funds to a bishop of the Russian Church, who is
residing in this country, for the purpose of administering the
rites of the church to the prisoners at Chatham, Plymouth,
and Lewes. The whole of the officers here, to the number of
20, viz., 12 Finns and 8 Russians, were provided with a dinner
at the Star Hotel, while the soldiers and non-commissioned
officers within the prison were also liberally regaled, and in
the evening, while the townspeople were drinking success to
the allied powers, and cheering for their late victory, the
Russians were responding to the health of the Emperor, and
drinking success to his army.
AN AFFAIR WITH THE PIRATES.—Her Majesty's
steam sloop Prometheus arrived at Gibraltar on the 26th ult.,
from the East. On her way down she touched on the Riff
coast near Melilla, and ran down along the land to abreast of
the Sera Bay, where she hauled close in and hove-to to make
out some articles and boats that were observed lying on the
beach ; and when close in the Ruffians hoisted a flag of truce,
which was answered by the ship. As the ship was canting off
shore, which she did slowly on account of her keel touching a
bank, the Riffians opened a heavy fire of musketry upon her,
killing the boatswain on the forecastle by a shot through the
head. The Prometheus then steamed off a short distance,
hauled down the flag of truce, and opened fire with shot, shell,
and musketry upon the Riffians and continued firing upon
those who were collected around, and, no doubt, killing and
wounding many of them, besides destroying two large boats.
Finding the Riffians had all disappeared, at 5 30, p.m., she
ceased firing, and ran down the coast to Alhucemas Bay, where
she anchored for the night.
A MORMON PREACHER DROWNED.—A young man named
John Dudman, of Bath, aged 20, a Mormon preacher, who
had for several days been in the neighbourhood, propagating
the doctrines of the notorious Joe Smith, was accidentally
drowned in the river Lynher, whilst in the act of bathing.
Deceased was accompanied to the river by a person named
Gartrell, whom he urged to bathe with him. Gartrell refused,
and persuaded the preacher not to venture in a particular part
of the river, on account of a strong current there. Disregard-
ing advice, Dudman immediately plunged into the stream,
and for some awe Lorc liluxeclf awflurnlng, stating that
he was providentially protected and feared nothing. His
situation in the river being dangerous, Gartrell handed out a
pole close to him, by aid 'of which he might have saved himself;
but, refusing his proffered assistance, he almost immediately
after sank.—Plymouth Mail.
Wno ARE rxrE ZouavEs.?—The Paris correspondent of the
Nation tells us something extraordinary, after the fashion of
Paris correspondents generally. Entering a café the other
day, he (or she) noticed a party of Zouaves, who were regaling
themselves, and heard one call the other " Byrne." Curious,
the correspondent made inquiries —The Zouaves were Irish-
men ! That is to say, they were the sons of Irish parents,
who had settled, or rather unsettled, in Algiers. It is won-
derful how the Irish turn up everywhere ! Eugenie had a
narrow escape of being claimed as an Irishwoman. Cavaignac
was proved to mis-spell his name, which is Kavanagh. Heki,
the New Zealand.chief, is Mr. Micky, of Dublin. But nobody
-could have expected that the Zouaves would turn out to be an
Irish brigade. An Irish corporal's wife is now Empress of
Morocco ; and we shall soon see that all the harems of Algiers
and the whole of the world are engaged in producing Irish
Zouaves.
FRIGHTFUL RAILWAY ACCIDEFT.—An accident of a very
shocking character occurred at the Dudley station, on the Ox-
ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, on Sunday
night. A train is due from Worcester, at 846 p.m., but it
did not arrive till about nine o'clock, when it ran into the
station at about the usual rate. Previous to the stoppage, the
doors of several carriages were seen open, and although the
usual cry was made to the passengers to keep their seats, one
or two of them jumped out, and among them was Mr. John
Cooper, assistant clerk in the Walsall County Court, who had
a child about four years old in his arms, and who, in descend-
ing from the carriage, fell between the carriage and the plat-
form, and was dragged a distance of about 20 or 30 yards. It
was found, on the train being stopped, that his legs were bent
back, and that the body was jammed in between the carriage
and the platform. He had his child grasped firmly in his arms,
and the train had to be detached from the carriage, and the
carriage itself raised with jacks, before they could be extricated.
They were conveyed into the porters' room, and Mr. Johnson,
surgeon, was sent for ; but Mr. Cooper had expired. Several
of his bones were broken, and his body dreadfully crushed.
The child was found to be seriously hurt, the poor creature's
thighs being fractured, and its body otherwise injured. The '
deceased was only 32 years of age.— Wolverhampton
Chroadele.
EXTRIORDINART CAPTURE OP THREE BURGLARS.—Quite
a sensation has been created lately in Somerset, Gloucester,
and Wilts, by the number of burglaries perpetrate& An ex-
traordinary and rather an amnsing capture of three fellows
gives sonic hopes, however, that a check will be put to the pro-
ceedings of the gang. On Sunday evening the Rev. Mr.
Meade, vicar of Wingfield, near Bradford, Wilts, went to
church with his family, leaving the vicarage unprotected.
About half-past six o'clock, a boy, twelve years of age, named
Henry Gilson, the son of the parish clerk and constable, who
was playing near the vicarage, had his attention attracted by
two strange men, whom he afterwards saw enter Mr. Meade s
premises. He immediately went to the church, and commu-
nicated to his father, who was officiating at the time, his sus-
picions that all was not right at the vicarage. Mr. Gilson at
once interrupted public worship by declaring his suspicions
that the parson's worldly goods were in danger, and after a
short conference the congregation set off towards their pastor's
house, which they surrounded, thus cutting off all means of es- i
cape. Some of the boldest of them then entered and found
Joseph Withy, a returned convict, and two others, who there
is reason to believe are ticket-of-leave men. A large quantity
of plate had been packed up in the rev. gentleman's carpet
bag, ready for removal, and would, no doubt, have been speedily
transferred to some distant place, but for the opportune dis-
covery, as a vehicle was driven from the neighbourhood by the
supposed confederates of the thieves soon after the congrega-
tion so unexpectedly emerged from the church. The burglars
were handed over to the police.
DISTRESSING CALAMITY.—The hop season, usually prolific
of fires amongst the dwellings of the pickers, has this year
been inaugurated by a fearful calamity. Preparations for the
accommodation of the pickers had, as usual, been made on the
homestead of Mr. C. Gibbs, at Nettlestead, near NVateringbury
station—various available lodges and sheds having been appro-
priated to their use. In one of the barns a female, about 12
months old, named Bridget Donovan, was sleeping on the
straw, at about one o'clock on Saturday, whilst a girl, about
eight years of age, named Julia Sullivan, was charged to watch
over her. This girl was engaged in cooking at a fire outside
the gate, when her clothes caught, and the poor child in her
fright ran into the barn, and probably rolled in the straw, to
subdue the flames rising around her. The straw became
ignited, and in a moment the barn was filled with fire and
flame. The alarm then became general, and all hastened to
render assistance. Foremost among these was a poor Irish-
woman, who it was said had charge of the children. She ran
into the barn, and through the smoke and flame succeeded in
grasping the elder child, when she flew to a pond a few yards
distant, with the burning child in her arms, into which she
threw her. The girl was soon rescued from this second chance
of destruction, and the remains of her clothes were removed.
In the meantime the fire had progressed with the utmost ra-
pidity, and several buildings became involved. In a barn was
a quantity of wheat, oats, barley, and peas, and about 200
trusses of wheat straw, and adjacent were one stack of oats
and two of clover, which were all destroyed, as well as a stable,
the barn and lodge, and other buildings. A telegraphic mes-
sage was sent to Maidstone shortly after two o'clock, and the
engines arrived at the fire at a quarter to three. Previous to
this, the engine kept on the property of Alderman Lucas had
arrived, and had been brought into play. It was, however,
evident that nothing could save the buildings or the stacks, as
the roof had fallen in, and nothing was left but an immense
mass of blazing ruins on the ground. The engines played
upon the flames for about half an hour, particularly upon the
spot where the body of the child lay, and the trunk was then
recovered, the extremities having been burned away. The
elder child was taken to Coxheath union-house, where her in-
juries were attended to. She was alive on Monday afternoon.
The stock destroyed, of the value of about £6OO, was insured
in the Sun office ; but the buildings, the property of the Right
!lon, Pemberton Leigh, were not insured.—Maidstone Journal.

(From the Second Edition of the Express.)
HAMBURG, Sept. 17.
The following despatch has this day been received:—
"St. Petersburgh, Sept. 11.—The Emperor has issued an
order of the day to the army, communicating the fall of Sebas-
tt opol. His Majesty thanks the garrison of Sebastopol for the
1.-ravery they have displayed in defending that stronghold to
the very last, and declares that he is convinced that all the
troeps of the empire are ready to follow their example in
sacrificing life, all, everything, for the sake of protecting the
religion, the honour, and the independence of Russia. The
Emperor adds, that he still relies with confidence upon the
,firmness and courage of his faithful and attached soldiers to
repel .every future attempt to violate the sanctity of the Rus-
olau twitary ; whilst he excuses the recent failure at Sebastopol
by saying, 'There is a line that is impassable even to heroes."

REJOICINGS IN. LIVERPOOL.
A ;very general feeling having been expressed. by all classes
as to the necessity of some demonstration in reference to the
splendid and gratifying suceesses which have attended the
efforts of the Allies in the Crimea, many suggestions have been
made on the subject, all of which have met with careful attea,
tion, on the part of his warship the Maxos.:. An illumination
seemed to meet with great favour;:. but the difficulties by
which such a mode of lemoustration; wes beset were found, to.
be insuperable, without such au amomat of preparation. 94
wouldhave, in fact, acted nearly ea.& prohibition, or to have
so procrastinated the rejoicings, as.would have thrown. them
out of date. In these circumstanacs, the MAYOR has resolved
toziet apart Thursday next, the. anniversary of the battle of
Alma, as a day of jubilation. The‘bells of the various churches
will commence ringing at au early hour of the morning, and
will continue to ring merry- peals throughout the day. The
Royal standard will be displayed in front of the Town. Hall,
and the ships.in dock will be.' dressed" in their gayest bunt-
ing; flags will be hoisted on the church towers.ancl other
public buildings ; and it is expected that the patriotism of all
those who possess flags.will. induce them to aid In the display
by hoisting them over their respective places of; business. A
royal sa:nite will be fired. from the North Forti at noon ; and
organ performances will be given in St. George's Hall, to

TEE BAROMETER AT THE EXCHANGE
NEWS-ROOM.
The following letter appeared in The Times of yesterday :
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
SIR,—In the city article of your paper of the sth instant a
paragraph is inserted respecting the barometer kept in the
Exchange-rooms at Liverpool, the first two sentences of which
are as follow :
"The barometer in the Exchange Room at Liverpool has
just received the addition of a protective brass bar and strong
padlock, and the event is one of some importance to the com-
mercial community. It appears that several of the Greek
merchants and others in that town have recently had the credit
of using every conceivable means to bring about certain fluc-
tuations in the corn market," &c.
When this report became known here the Greek merchants
naturally considered that the charges ought to be proved, the
delinquent denounced, and the imputation removed from them
as a body ; and with a view of having this carried out, we
were appointed by them a sub-committee to wait upon the
authorities of the Liverpool Exchange, to urge upon them the'
necessity of the most rigorous inquiry into the matter. They
favoured us with an interview, and we are now authorised by
the chairman to state most distinctly that the committee of
the Exchange have not only no evidence against any Greek
or other merchant of having practised upon the barometer, as
imputed in the article alluded to, but have no reason to sus-
pect any one of having done so. We have also the authority
of Mr. Warburton, the manager of the room, to remove alto-
gether the imputation as far as the servants of the room are
concerned in the allegation.
We observe that in the Inde-pendance Beige (which pro-
fesses to give the translation of your article) the words "and
others" are omitted in their report, so that the charge is there
confined to the Greek merchants of Liverpool alone. This
fact, combined with the powerful and wide-spread influence of
your journal, has induced the Greek body to come forward in
order to justify themselves with the world, and we rely upon
your well-known candour to give insertion to this letter in an
early paper, and thus make the refutation as public as the
charge, so calculated to place the Greek community in a false
position with the merchants of England.—With every senti-
ment of respect, we are, sir, your very obedient servants,
S. FBANGIIIADI.

REVISION OF THE BURGESS LIST.—The court for the revi-.
sion of the lists of parliamentary voters for the borough will
be held before Mr. Brandreth in the Crown Court, St. George's
Hall, on Monday next.
AT THE Police-court, on Wednesday, Henry Riley, a clerk
in the Liverpool Post-office, pleaded guilty to having stolen
two letters, addressed to Messrs. Ritchie, Stewart, and Co.,
Bombay, and with appropriating two several sums of £1 lls.
6d. each, which he had received as postage. He was remanded.
LIVERPOOL POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY.—At the first meeting
for the season, held on Monday, last week, at the Royal Insti-
tution, Mr. James Newlands presiding, some beautiful models
of vessels, sentin by candidates for Mr. Mondel's prize, were
exhibited. Mr. William Rowett exhibited and explained a
model of his invention for fitting, handing, and reefing the
sails from the deck, without risk to the sailors, in stormy
weather. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Rowett, and a
similar compliment having been paid to the chairman, the
meeting broke up.
LIEUT. GEORGE B. PRESTON, of the 97th Regiment, fell
whilst gallantly leading his men to repulse the advance of the
enemy on the fourth parallel. His brother, Horatio B. Preston,
was lieutenant in the 88th Connaught Rangers, and was killed
by a rifle ball whilst discharging the arduous duty of super-
intending the repair of a gabion. These gallant officers were
sons of Mr. William Preston, late of Liverpool, now of Min-
stead-lodge, New Forest, Hampshire, and were born in Aigburth.
George B. Preston was for some time during the spring of
this year senior lieutenant in command of detachments of the
97th, 18th, and 34th Regiments, stationed at the Rock Perch,
New Brighton. The deceased officer was half brother to Mr.
Robert Preston, of Messrs. Fawcett, Preston, & Co.
FLOWER SHOW AT ORMSHIRIL—On Wednesday, a flower-
show was held in a field near the railway station, at Ormskirk,
and was attended by a numerous body of visitors, including
the Lady Arabella Hesketh, the Hon. Mrs. Bootle Wilbraham,
the Rev. Joseph and Mrs. Bush, the Rev Mr. and Mrs. Ley,
Mr. Haisall, Mrs. Abraham, Mr. Bickersteth, Mr. W. Lax,
and Dr. Palmer. The exhibition gave great satisfaction to the
visitors, amongst whom were many from Liverpool and the
adjoining towns. The show of flowers was particularly rich
and abundant. With the exception of the " Cottagers' De-
partment," the exhibition was pronounced to be the best the
society ever had. A sweepstakes for dahlias, of ss. each, was
announced. There was an interesting exhibition of 200 spe-
cimens of plants collected in the neighbourhood of Ormskirk,
which were dried and prepared on paper. It attracted great
curiosity. After the payment of prizes, the exhibition was
closed, with musical honours, about 7 o'clock.
THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL.—GREAT EXCITEMENT IN
PRESCOT.—Great rejoicing took place on Wednesday, in con-
sequence of the recent arrival of the glorious news of the fall
of this renowned stronghold. The bells of St. Mary's Church
sent forth their merry peals. A large bonfire was made in
the market-place, where several thousands had collected to
celebrate this memorable event. Mr. Wallace, manager of the
gas-works, came forward with several barrels of tar and other
combustibles, which illumined the whole town. Several
gentlemen and tradesmen brought supplies of fireworks, and,
to add to the enjoyment, Mr. Rigby, of Church-street, was in
attendance with a select party, and struck up "God save the
Queen," " Rule Britannia," &c., the whole concourse joining
in the chorus, and at the end of every song three cheers were
given for the brilliant success of the allied arms. The
rejoicing was kept tp to a late hour, when the multitude
began to depart to their several homes. In other parts of the
town, large bonfires were made.
BREACH OF THE PEACE.—At the Kirkdale Petty Sessions,
on Friday, Cornelius O'Mara, Patrick Higgins, James Pierce,
and Samuel Gore, were charged with fighting and creating a
breach of the peace on the night of Sunday, the 26th August
last. On the 'day in question, a man named Swift came from
Liverpool with another man and a woman tosee Gore. About
half-past eleven they heard a noise, which they ascertained to
be caused bra cart loaded with potatoes. Swift, suspecting that
something was wrong, asked the ?atter to give him some informs-
tion aboa the potatoes, and, obtaining—no reply, went to the
house of's, police-constable to apprise him of the circumstance,
but not Ending him at home, returned to Gore's. Soon after,
between twelve and one o'clook,the 'first three prisoners came
to Gore's house, and when the door was opened to them, com-
menced a savage attack upon Swift and on Gore, who attempted
to protect him. Both werenocked down andlicked, and it was
with great difficulty that the police-officer, who was promptly
on the spot, could quell,the disturbance. Gore, who admitted
that, in self-defence, he Struck the man who knocked him
down, was immediately'discharged. The other prisoners were
'bound over, themselves in £lO each, and two sureties each in
5, to keep the peaceior twelve months.
MANSLAUGHTER.—On Wednesday, an inquest was held
before the borouglreoroner on the body of William Appleton,
who met his death on Monday night under circumstances
which involved a ,-Charge of manslaughter against a shoe-
maker and his wife, named John and Jane Woods. About
eleven o'clock the male prisoner -was quarrelling with a
cripple, named Noland, about some rent which was -due to
him by Noland's-rrarents. The deceased, who was a shipear-
penter, then came 'up to take thepart of the cripple, nnd, in
the struggle which ensued, was -knocked down, some of the
witnesses say by a blow from Woods' fist, and others by a
blow with a 'poker by Mrs:'Woods. He was carried into a
cellar close by,..; +but, notwithstanding that every -attention
was there.paid to him by .a-surgeon from St. Anne's Dispen-
sary, he died in the course of an hour. On an examination
there only appeared a slight abrasion of the skin an the fore-
head ; 'but' the immediate cause'of death was found to be ex-
travasation of blood on the brain, the result of external vio-
lence. The female prisoner denied that either-she or her hus-
band had 'struck the deceased at all. The jury returned a
verdict of 'manslaughter against the two prisoners, and they
were both committed for trial-at the assizes.'
SELECT VESTRY.—The fortnightly meeting was held on
Tuesday, at the parish offices, Brownlow-hill, the Ven. Arch-
deacon Brooks in the chair. From the minutes of the Work-
house Committee it appeared that the numbers admitted last
week to the vagrant sheds were 123 males, 111 females, and
.
The total number in the house on the sth inst.' were 'l9BO.
The report of the special committee, appointed'to enquire into
the items lately disallowed-by the poor-law auditors was read.
On the motion of the finance committee being read, Mr.
Denton objected to that part of the minutes which recom-
mended- the board to proceed to the appointment of a -super-
intendent or out-door inspector. He would move that 'the
consideration of this appointment be deferrectfor four months.
After -some discussion, Mr. Denton said he would alter -his
motion to a postponement-for two months instead of four. A
divisionmas finally taken,swhich resulted in the postponement
being carried by 12- to 9. Mr. Farnall, 'Poor-law Inspector,
laid before the board some-statistics relative to pauperism in
Liverpool. From this statement it appears that the number
of paupers on the books at.present is -13,409, the number last
year at this time being 134.33. Though this appears an,. in-
crease as• compared with last -year, Mr. 'Fantail explained-that
when compared with several years past,- during which the
numbers ranged from 17,000 to 18,000, it 'was considerably
less. Of-the whole number at present on the books,. 3,170
were old and infirm people; 1,582 orphanthiklren; and 3,295
adult able-bodied paupers.•, :236 of the latter being men and
the remainder women. Women in fact constituted the great
bulk of the paupers. A zondiderable saving+had been effected
in the expenditure for weekly relief; and although the number
in the house was greater than:last year by .276, the sum-ex-
pended was less by £55 7s. 2d. weekly than was expended last
year. This saving would amount, it was anticipated, at the
end of the year, to £2,680 and upwards.—Mr. Fairhurst, of
-St. Anne-street, was appointed:to fill thevacanoyeaused by the
death of Mr. James Hughes.
•DOCX CoMXITTEE.—The dock .committee met on Thurs-
day, Mr. Charles Turner presiding. The other -members pre-
sent.were Messrs. Shand, Palmer, Brocklebank,Sarber, Mann,
Ronnthwaite, Lockett, Anderson, Bold, Rankin, Robinson,
eChaloner, and Littledale.—On the recommendation of the
:works sub-committee, the tender of Mr. J. H. Mullen to
fence-in the timber-yards at the east side of the Huskisson
Dock, for 14s. per lineal yard, was accepted. -The whole ten-
der will amount to about £Boo.—The tender of Mr. Samuel
Moss, to supply-19,300 feet of glass for • the roof of the wool
warehouses, for £ll4O, was accepted.—Mr. Wm. Roskell's
tender-to supply a turret clock at the .south•end of the Wap-
ping 'Docks, for £-260, was accepted.—The marine- department
subcommittee asked-the confirmation of -the appointment on
trial for-six months of Lieutenant Parkes, R.N., as assistant
marine-surveyor, at a salary of £3OO a-year, being 00 per
annum-more than Mr. Jones received. Confirmed.—A letter
was read from the Town-clerk, stating that on Friday last
the Birkenhead docks became vested in the corporation, who
had on that day given the bonds to the Birkenhead dock
trustees, as required by the Birkenhead Dock Act. The
property, -so afar as that portion of it relating to -the accom-
modation-of-shipping went, was, therefore, placed under the
management-of the dock, committee.—The chairman said -the
dock committee had already placed the different departments
of the Birkertlaead estate under the appropriate sub-com-
mittees. The +-finance committee now proposed that, as au
accommodation -to merchants, the tonnage dues on shipping
should be paid in Liverpool, instead of at Birkenhead, as
heretofore.—Mr. Rainier : There are no rates upon goods ?
The Chairman : That is so; but there are warehouse rents
and harbourage ,charges to be collected.—Mr. Rounthwaite
then brought forward the motion, •notice of which he had
given at the last meeting. It was to -the effect that the time
the steamships ooeupied -the docks -be included in the returns
recently moved for by Mr. Mann. The motion was unani-
mously agreed to.—Mr. Mann then moved for a return of the
'number of steamers using the graving docks and blocks '
,within the last financial year, which, after a few remarks from
?Jr. Rounthwaite, was agreed to ; and the committee ad-
journed, after having held a very short meeting.
NOVEL SITUATION FOR AN ILLICIT DIaTILLERY.—A
case displaying extraordinary ingenuity on the part of an
Illicit distiller of spirits, was investigated at the Police-court,
on Wednesday. On the 23rd of May last, Robert Robertson
engaged five vaults under Gill-street market and paid M, a
quarter's rent, in advance. He stated that he was taking it
for an ale and porter bottling store, en behalf of Mr. John
Blair, a brewer at Manchester, and he signed an agreement
of tenancy to that effect. Some hogsheads, similar to porter
hogsheads, were seen to go into the place, but otherwise no-
thing particular was noticed. Robertson came and went
away, generally by himself, but sometimes accompanied by a
working man, like a bricklayer, and sometimes by a woman.
Certain indications, however, aroused the suspicion of the ex-
cise authorities, and they sent down two experienced officers
from London, Benjamin John Elvey and John Vanstrom.
These two, with John Henry Sproule, a Liverpool officer, and
Robert Lloyd, one of the market officials, made a "descent"
npon the vaults occupied by Robertson, on the 12th of August
last. After some little delay, occasioned by Robertson, who
was inside, they gained admission, and found a most ingenious
apparatus for distilling, which had evidently been very re-
cently at work. It consisted of a small copper still, placed on
iron frames against a wall, and heated by means of gas. In
an adjoining cellar, the, door of which had been broken open
with a sledge-hammer, they found 300 or 400 gallons of mo-
lasses "wash" in tubs, and a small quantity of very excellent
distilled spirit. The officers could not conceal their admira-
tion of the apparatus, and admitted that they they had never
seen a better. " Yes," said Robertson, " and it's all my own
invention. I put it here to try it, and I'm going to apply for
a patent for it. The best of it is, it's self-acting. I can leave
it to itself, and every second hour it will produce a gallon of
spirits 60 per cent. overproof." Six empty hogsheads of mo-
lasses were found in the vaults, so that it was evident that
the "trial" had been a lengthy one. Everything was seized,
and Robertson taken before the magistrates, and fined £3O for
manufacturing spirits without a license. He could not pay
the penalty, and was incarcerated in gaol. A second informa-
tion was heard against him, for being the " owner of an
illicit still, and for having an illicit still in his custody."
The bench inflicted a penalty of £lOO. One curious part of
the affair was that, when Robertson entered on the tenancy
of the vaults, a gas meter, left by a former tenant some time
previously, was there, and he appropriated it to his own pur-
poses, without the knowledge of the Gas Company, thus ob-
taining a thno months' suppiy of " fnel" without any cost,

through his long and solitary illness, had thought

a scarcely more changed than his mind.
•vertheless, with all his courage he could not
repress many a bitter pang, as he waited alone in
Mrs. Lester's drawing-room, and caught a glimpse
of himself in the mirror which had so often,
beloretime reflected the graceful figure of the
Handsome Philip Heathcote. When the door
opened and Margaret entered, he could have
.lainalk anywhere from her view.
,A 4. hue, very slight, was in Margaret's usually
.colotxless cheek ; she looked once at the young
man, and then, advancing, took his hand in both
hers„, and said, in a frank, earnest, friendly tone,
thatment to Philip's heart-
- 11_, am very glad indeed to see you here again,
Mr. Heathcote.
;There was no condolence, no allusion to his
illuess; she did not avoid looking at him, but
spoke ,and smiled with true and kindly tact, as if
nothing had happened : so that Philip's dread
and. embarrassment wore off imperceptibly. Once

Lester,; he caught Margaret's eye fixed upon his
face, ,with.a deep expression. He thought, though
he was not.sure, that those sweet blue orbs were
moist ,with:tears ; and the young man would have
parted almost with life itself for one tear of
affectionate; pity from Margaret Lester.
He stayecta long time and then went home,
certainly happier than he had often been in the
days of his bloom and gaiety. What Margaret
thought of her,old lover could not be known ;
-she said very little ; but that very night she heard
the old church.rclock strike one before her eyes
fairly closed in slumber.

,caused the usual nine days' wonder and excite-
ment, and then .all subsided. He was an altered
man ; his abundant tow of spirits was no more ;
he .could no longer join the dance in which he
had shone brilliantly aforetime ; he was often
silent in company, and the belles who had so
often gazed delightfully on his handsome face,
now passed him by with a slight recognition, or
an audible " Poor fellow—how handsome he was
once 1" Philip had grown wiser through suffer-
ing; but still no one is ever quite insensible to
the loss of personal attractions ; and the "has
been" grated harshly on young Heathcote's feel-
ings for a long time. He gradually withdrew
from society in a great measure, pleading, as
his reason, the ill-health which he really did
labour under ; and at last his visits were entirely
confined to Mrs. Lester's, where he met no altered
looks or obtrusive condolence.
And now we must turn to Margaret. She, too,
was changed ; not outwardly, but in her own
heart. Love, under the guise of pity, had stolen
in there unawares. She had been perfectly in-
different to Philip in his days of triumph ; but
when she saw him pale, feeble, thoughtful, with-
out a single gay jest or sportive compliment to
scatter round; treated with neglect,or elsewounded
by rude pity, Margaret's woman's heart gave way.
She first felt sympathy, then interest, and so went
through the regular gradations, until she loved
Philip Heathcote with her whole soul. He, foolish
man, humbled and self-distrusting as he was,
never saw this ; yet he nourished his affection for
Margaret in his heart's core, never dreaming that
it could ever be returned.
" If she did not care for me in the old days,"
he often thought, " surely it is hopeless to
imagine she could love me now, a poor, sick ugly
fellow like me." And he would look at himself
with disgust ; and turn away from the mirror
with a bitter sigh. Ah ! Philip Heathcote, with
all his talent and brilliancy, still knew little of
the depths of a woman's heart. We have heard
107
of a man who broke the plighted troth of years,
because a heavy affliction—it was deprivation of
hearing—fell upon the lovely girl he was to have
married : and we have also heard others of his
sex justify him in so doing. Such love is not
like woman's, she would only have clung the
closer in his affliction.
Philip, in spite of his conviction of the entire
hopelessness of winning Margaret's heart, still
continued to hover about her unceasingly. He
saw there was at least no other lover in the way,
and that was one comfort. It was months before
his eyes were opened to his error, and how that
clearness of vision- was effected, history sayeth
not. Very few lovers can tell the precise mo-
ment when the blessed truth rushed upon their
hearts, flooding them with delicious joy. To
what hope—to what a new and blissful existence
did Philip awake when he knew that Margaret
loved him ! He counted all he had lost as nothing,
in comparison to the prize which his sufferings
had won for him. Much he wondered at the
change, not knowing that it was due to his altered
character, for men look at the outward form,
while women judge of the heart. But wonder
and doubt were absorbed in intense happiness,
for -Margaret the timid, retiring, but loving
Margaret—was all his own.
Once more the town's talk was of Philip Heath-
cote and Margaret Lester. They were seen
walking together ; one had met them in the
fields ; another, coming home from church ; Mr.
Heathcote was daily at the house ; surely they
must be engaged !—and this once the gossips
were right—they were, indeed, affianced lovers ;
and in due time the old village church beheld them
made husband and wife. A few years passed, and
the old manor-house rang with childish voices
through all its desolate nooks ; and Margaret and
her husband might be seen oftentimes slowly
pacing the dark alleys of the garden, with a
merry troop around therm Hand in hand, Philip
and Margaret were gliding down life's river, nor
feared the coming of middle age, when each year
brought new happiness. Had they altogether
forgotten the days of their youth ? Not quite ;
for once, when they sat watching the sports of
their eldst son, Margaret said, with a mother's
pride and fondness—
"ls not our boy handsome, Philip ?" He will
grow up almost as handsome as —"
"As his father once used to be," interrupted
Mr. Heathcote, with a smile not quite devoid of
bitterness. He was not perfect—the vain man.
Margaret arose, clasped her arms around her
husband's neck, and kissed his white forehead
and still beautiful eyes with intense and wife-
like satisfaction.
"You are always handsome to me, my own
Philip—there is no one like you ; and if I were
foolish once —"
" When you said I was too handsome ?" cried
he happy husband.
" There, do not remember those days ; I did
not love you then."
" And now you do, my sweet Margaret, my
dear wife," said Philip Heathcote ; " and so I do
not care in the least for being as ugly as an old
satyr, since Margaret Lester can never again say
that lam a great deal too handsome for her.'

THE LIVERPOOL. STANDARD
IRELAND.
VISCOUNT DUNGANNON has been chosen a representative
Peer for Ireland, in the room of the late Earl of Caledon.
THERE are hardly any able-bodied male paupers at present
in the rural workhouses in Ireland. Labour is scarce in all
parts of the country, and wages high.
PART of the Curragh was in danger of being burned down
on Saturday, by two confederate militia.: regiments burning
tar barrels adjoining the timber works, and igniting furze
bushes.
THERE are already four candidates for New Ross, in the
room of Mr. Duffy. They are Charles. Tottenham (Tory),
John Reynolds, formerly M.P. for Dublin, Mr. Welch, of Kil-
kenny, and Mr. W. J. O'Connell, of London.
EVICTIONS.—On the 6th inst., the Sheriff of Galway, ac-
companied by an escort of Police, proceeded to the Claddagh,
and took possession of 21 houses, the property of Mr. Henry
Grattan. The inmates were all put out, and six of the cabins
levelled to the ground, but the parties evicted were admitted
into the remaining 15 as caretakers. It is admitted by the
popular journals that, as these poor creatures have never paid
rent or other charges since Mr. Grattan became their land-
lord, no blame can be attributed to him for getting rid of them.
VISIT OF PRINCE NAPOLEON TO CORR.—The Cork
Reporter, of Wednesday, contains the following announce-
ment :—" We are in a position to state that Prince Napoleon
Bonaparte, who is cruising off the English coast, in his Im-
perial Majesty's yacht Ariel, is likely to visit our harbour in
the course of the ensuing week." In a later edition the same
journal adds :—"We have now to state that the Prince's arrival
here is looked for in the course of this evening, and that it is
contemplated to take advantage of the opportunity offered by
this visit, to commemorate, by a public banquet, the alliance
with France, and the recent grand success at Sebastopol.
Lists for the dinner are being rapidly filled up."
THE HAIIVEST.—Another week of splendid weather has
nearly brought harvest operations, save in the remote northern
and western districts, to a satisfactory conclusion. A few
days' more brisk wind and sunshine such as the country has
been recently favoured with, and there will be scarcely a field
left uncut. As regards the potato, the accounts from Cork
mention that the fear of the disease appears to have wholly
abated, as the farmers there allow the crop to lie in the
ground, digging them merely to supply immediate con-
sumption, and not, as formerly, forcing them on the market
in order to effect sales at any price before the apprehended
spread of the blight rendered them valueless.

the Tchernaya.
A despatch from General Della Marmora announces that in
the night which followed the capture of the Xlalakhoff the
Russians retired, burning the town, destroying the buildings,
and sinking their last ships.
It was General Bosquet's corps d' arthe'e which captured
the Malakhoff.
The Moniteur of Tuesday announces that the Minister of
Marine has received the following telegraphic despatch from
Vice-Admiral Bruat
CRIMEA, Sept. 0, 10.15 a.m.
The assault upon the Malakhoff Tower was made yesterday
at noon, and later on the Great Redan and Central Bastion.
A gale from the north kept the ships at anchor.
The mortar-boats, to be enabled to fire, were obliged to
enter Streletzka Bay.
. _
They fired 600 shells against the Quarantine Bastion and
Fort Alexander. The six English mortar-boats, also at anchor
in Streletzka Bay, fired about the same number of shells.
Last night violent explosions and vast conflagrations made
us suppose that the Russians were evacuating the town.
To-day we ascertained that the Russian vessels had been
sunk.
The bridge was covered with troops retreating to the north
side.
After eight o'clock the bridge was destroyed.
Only a few steamers remain in the port, anchored near Fort
Catherine.
I approached this morning the Quarantine batteries on
board the Brandon, and ascertained myself that they are now
evacuated.
They have just Mown up.
Our soldiers have left their trenches and spread themselves
in isolated groups on the ramparts of the town, which appears
to be completely abandoned.
PARIS, Wednesday.
The Minister of "War received to-day, the 12th of Sept., the
following telegraphic despatch from Gen. Pelissier :
CRIMEA, Sept 10, 11 On.
I inspected to-day Sebastopol and its lines of defence.
The mind cannot form an exact picture of our victory, the
full extent of which can only be understood by an inspection
of the place itself.
The multiplicity of the works of defence and the material
means applied thereto exceed by far anything hitherto seen in
the history of war.
....
The capture of the Malakhoff, which compelled the enemy
to fly before our eagles, already three times victorious, has
placed in the hands of the allies an amount of materiel and
immense establishments, the importance of which it is not yet
possible to state exactly.
To-morrow the allied troops will occupy the Karabelnaia
and the town, and under their protection an Anglo-French
commission will be occupied with making out a return of the
materiel abandoned to us by the enemy.
The exultation of our soldiers is very great, and it is with

THE .IMVINGTON WATER SOPRM.E.
Ix • accoiaance with a resolution of the Town Council,
that ' body, accompanied by numerous gentlemen con-
nected Adth different pith& bodies, paid a visit of
inspection, on Wednesday,-to the stupendouS waterworks
in the vicinity of . Rivington, now rapidly drawing
towards -a conclusion. A ficil report upon the actual state of
the works will be found in another part of this day's Standard,:
and to it we refer our readers for details Of the compliefited
operations. Much controversy has already' been expended, and
conflicting opinions still exist on the sibject of the real!
value of these works. ••The time for controversy respetting
thisvezed question has now passed. 'The works, after a vast
outlayof capital, and a serious expenditure of excited feeling,
have become so nearlyls'lnished, that .diecrssions upon their
theoretical merits cease 'to be of general importance ; arid it•is
now more in accordance with the public --iinterest that those
' who are possessed of, practical information on such subjects
' should unite in their endeavours to carry into efficient opera-
tian those works -for -Which the communit7 have already paid
so high a ransom, than to establish a,demonstration of their
conjectured inefficiency.
That the Rivington scheme was Vigoronely opposed, by many
who felt a thorough con fiction of its inexpediency, is true ; -and
they Corlicfeinibifirf 741R1Wfn'' `a"'s there .appear
reasonable grounds for believing that the opposition could be
effective, those gentlemen merely discharged a public. Attty
and in doing so were entitled to high commendation. -To con-
tinue that opposition-where prevention cannot be achieved, and
where nothing beyond embarrassment-can be reasonably ex-
pected to follow, . is- mot to pursue the path of duty, nor- to
realise the objects 'which they have themselves in view. AG
theirobject,in the firstinstance, was to secure to the community
a frill--supply of pure -water, and as they differed from their
brethren in regard to the means by which-so desirable an end
was to:he obtained, they did well to controvert the views of
their -opponents by-every fair and leg imate means. :Their
warnings have been disregarded, and-their-suggestions over-
ruled hy the union of opinion among gentlemen as fairly, en-
titled to-represent the public interests as they were, and- the i
controverted projectiles snow been so far-carried out, that, to:
revert to the original- state of matters regarding it is impos-
sible. ;To make the.most of the bargain,whetber a good or .a
bad one, 4g, under existing circumstances,...so,obviously the in-
terest all, that it would ke insulting to the.good sense of the
community were .we to imagine the existence of any other
feeling than an ardent desire, on all hands, to realise the bene
fits which must arise from the completion of those works.
From the-details, .which :Will be found in the report referred
to at the beginning of this.article, it will be seen that by far
the heaviest portions of, the work have been executed, and that
all of them are being pushed forward to a conelusion with
alacrity and skill. -So farns-eould be gathered from a close
Inspection of thoworks, and, inquiries made on the. spot, there
:appears every reason, for believing that the reservoir& and their
;appurtenances, the filtering beds, equalising tanks,-and other
portions of the storage and supply machinery, win!he com-
pleted within a month or two. The pipe-laying hasalSo been
so proceeded with, that two-thirds of the main-piping have
been laid, while a serious difficultyiSn respect to the pipe-line
by St. Helen's has been.,obviated, and the operations in. ,that
department will now be vigorously :prosecuted. In conclu-
sion, we shall content .ourselves -with remarking that there is
every revson for believing .that the .rtin-fall of the ensuing •
.winter will be made available for thesnoply of Liverpool, and
that at a Eine very little, if at all, .I*yond the period men-
tioned by the Water Committee, .the
_gentlemen composing
will be. in at,,..,ondition to congratalate the public, and to' be
congratulated by it, on the completion of .the arduous under-
taking, whiej4it has devolved on them to carry out.
TIIETLE was a;.collision on Saturday night on the Mersey
between. the halftpast eight Woodside boat, from the Landing-
stage, and a flat which was coming doWn.the sliver with the

A TERN DETERAINED YOUNG entAtnirAt,,-7;lohn Glover,
a boy ten years, of me, whose head did not even =reach to the
top of the dock, was yesterday charged before Mr.:Emith, one
of the borough magistrates, with picking the ppcicet of Mr.
Dennis Murphy, butcher, on Saturday, while he was ,standing
in front of Jais own stall in St. James's Market. A.ituarket-
constable saw the theft, and immediately took the youngster
into custody, witli three bal,fcrowns and a florin Imlolging to
Mr. Murphy,in his hand. When the evidence had inengisen,
the child's stepmother camelorward and said that about•three
weeks before he was charged with stealing ropes, upon which
occasion he was given up-to :her care upon promising to be.a
good boy for the future and go !to school. She took him home,
washed him, put on him a clean shirt and pinafore, and " made
shim decent," when he went out,again' and she had never seen
;him since until now, Mr. Smith.: mHe seems determined to
be a very bad boy ; take him into the other court to Mr.
Mansfield." The boy was accordingly :taken before the stipen-
diary magistrate, who, after giving the ,c.ase a deliberate con-
sideration, ordered the lad to be :confined in gaol for three
days and once whipped.
STOP TgE CI,OCK !—Four young men, Thomas Walch, John
Barry, Patrick Dougherty, and Thomas Walker, were brought
up at the police-court yesterday, charged with stealing a time-
piece. Police-ofacer 429, said that about a quarter to 3 o'clock
on Sunday morning, he heard that "a clock had been seen
going up Adlingtou,street," in the possession of three men.
Thinking this an extraordinary movement, even for the most
eccentric time-piece, he followed up Adlington-street, when he
met Walsh, Barry, and Dougherty coming down the street to-
gether. He seized Walch, and asked him where he had been
to. Walsh took him back to a house kept by Walker, in a
court in Adlington-street, where a clock, supposed to be the
one stolen, was found in a dismembered state—the face here,
the fingers there, the pendulum, &c., somewhere else. The
officer took the clock "into custody," and attempted to do the
same with the three men, all of whom had come back to the
house, but they made off. Walsh tried to escape by getting
over a wall into Lance-street, but the wall giving way he fell
into the adjoining court, and the officer ran round and captured
him. The other prisoners were afterwards secured, and the
officer then searched for the owner of the stolen clock, and
found him in the person of Mr. Patrick Carroll, of No. 9,
Court, Johnson-street: All parties were brought before the
police-court yesterday, when Mr. Carroll told the bench that
he went home about 2 o'clock on Sunday morning, at which
time his clock was quite safe, and " going" audibly enough.
An " hour or so" after, he found to his surprise, however, that
it was gone, and he identified the one produced as his property.
It transpired that Walker was in bed when the officer visited
his house, and as he protested that he knew nothing whatever
of the clock, he was discharged, The otherg were Wit to gaol
for two months each,

maging to the ambition of Russia than the burning Of
Moscow, or indeed any circumstance on record since
the days of • PETER I. Russia built up a fabric for
which thousands of human lives and millions of trea-
sure have been sacrificed, upon which all hopes of
future conquest were based, and which formed indeed
the main point of contest. This has been shattered
at a blow ; the dream of years has been demolished,
and a far more material guarantee acquired for the
future peace of Europe than would have been gained
by negotiations at Vienna, however apparently willing
Russia may have been to make concessions.
If is not very easy to estimate the difficulties with
which the allied armies have had to contend, though
all accounts concur in representing them of the most
formidable character. Sebastopol was deemed by those
best acquainted with its natural position and immense
resources to be impregnable, and nothing had been
spared which skill could devise or despotic will could
effect to render it so. Viewed, therefore, in this
respect, the success of the besiegerS is entitled to our
warmest congratulations ; but when viewed with
reference to its important results upon the position of
Russia as the disturber of the peace of Europe, the
advantage can hardly be over-estimated,
From the 'accounts which have reached us by means
of the electric telegraph, it appears that the Russian
General Prince GORTSCHAKOFF had made preparations
for the 'evacuation of the town, which liestn the south
side of the harbour, as far back as the end of August ;
for "General SIMPSON, in his aespiiten of the Ist of
September, mentions the eiretimgtagee of the Russian
general availing himself of the Iciiidge of rafts which
had been conPtructed Actose the harbour to the north
side, to effect the removal stokes. He must there-
fore have anticipate; k at least endeavoured to proViae
against, the success of the 'Mlles in their assault on the
Malakhoff. This was no ,doubt owing to the convic-
tion that his position has become untenable, and that,
notwithstanding the 'determination evinced for so
long a period by the Russian soldiers, the distress
occasioned 'by the cutting off the supplies was
operating with deadly effect. Up to the last they
boasted of `their inexhaustible means of defence, but
that' which haddestroyed the courage of the besieged
roused the 'courage of the besiegers, and the
Malakhoff Was carried with a -determination to
win at .atiYhazard. We know the result. The fierce
assault 'of 'the Bth, which outrivailed all former dis-
plays of daring hardihood, left the Malakhoff in the
hands 'Of the assailants, and the next morning found
the great object of all the contest deserted by its de-
fenders. There is a melanehCly list of killed and
wounded, the price of the victory ; but the victory.
itself, in its influence upon 'thc'war, is beyond all price.'
The Malakhoff was the keyleSebastopol, and Sebas-
topol was the key to Russian supremacy in the Black
Sea. They have fallen, anit.with them the hopes of a
-guccession of Russian Autetirds.
Ve are not yet in possession of sufficient details 'to
i'forrn an opinion as to the designs of the Russian
'.General, although it is pre:tended that his movement
:;-:s purely of a strategotical Character, substituting the
-Sebastopol of the uoath'fbr Ithat of the south. !This is
mere pretence. The aUael on the Tchernaya was
evidently the desileratevesource of an army inlear of
annihilation, and the evacuation of Sebastophlis of a
similar character. *The-town, the arsenal; the -maga-
2ines, and everything, available for occupation and
defence, were on the ground which has been aban-
doned ; while the !noith side, to which tlelßussians
have retreated, contains,caily a few forts and batteries,
which were, no donbt, valuable as outworks, but of
little importance in .themselves. The Rnsiians, with
all their advantages; lave been overmatch d, and the
victory is in the lands,ef the Allies ; and we have :no
doubt that the skill and energy displayed ,by Marshal
PELISSIER will very -soon result in the complete
expulsion of the Russians from the Crimea.

HORTICULTURE.
KITCHEN GARDEN.—Take advantage of the present
dry state of the ground to get celery earthed up, first
thoroughly soaking the lines with manure water, also
apply quicklime where slugs are troublesome'. On
heavy soils it is sometimes necessary to surround the
plants with sand or sifted ashes to prevent their rot-
ting off in winter, which they are apt to do if surrounded
with soil that holds much water. Where anything of
this kind is necessary it will be advisable to defer earth-
ing up till later in the season, as frequent soilings of
this sort would be very troublesome. Also pull onions
where ripe, and get them dried while the weather is
favourable. Thin young crops of turnips, spinach, &c.
before they become weakly and drawn, through stand-
ing too closely together. Stir the surface of the soil
deeply among growing crops, to admit air to the roots
and keep down weeds.—Let nothing suffer from want
of water, especially recently planted strawberries ; these
will be benefited by liberal applications of manure
water. Get spare ground manured and dug or trenched
for another crop whenever time can be spared for this
kind of work.—Gardeners' Chronicle.
FLOWER GARDEN.-The stock of cuttings should be
carefully looked over to see that nothing has been
omitted, and that a sufficient quantity of everything is
in a promising state for mating nice stocky plants
before winter, and if it is found that the stock of any-
thing is insufficient, not a day must be lost in getting
in cuttings, for it is already late in the season
for this kind of work, and it will be well to bear
in mind that plants of things which are at all difficult
to winter rooted after this season may be considerably
thinned before spring, and also that they will not be
sufficiently strong to furnish many cuttings for spring
propagation; and consequently to provide a larger
quantity than would have been necessary had the cut-
tings been put in a month ago. But if there is a re-
serve stock of strong plants hi pots, which is a safe
practice where there is a large quantity of bedding
stuff required, and proper convenience for growing
them and propagating in spring, these will furnish a
large quantity of cuttings next March, which will form
equally good plants by turning out time as cuttings
put in now. In the case of such things as ageratums,
heliotropes, and dwarf lobelias, it is useless wintering
young stock, as these grow so freely in heat, and are
so easily propagated from soft cuttings that a few good
sized old plants which require but little room or atten-
tion in winter will furnish spring cuttings, that
plenty are got in at once, so as to provide while it can
be done against the risk of being short of stock at
turning out time. See, however, where there are not
plants to furnish spring cuttings, that plenty are got
in at once, so as to provide while it can be done against
the risk of being short of stock at turning out
time. Attend to the potting of such cuttings
as are sufficiently rooted, and give every after
attention to these in order to get them well established
before winter. Sow hardy annuals in the reserve
ground for transplanting to assist in furnishing an
early display next season, for which they are exceed-
ingly useful.

CHESHIRE AND WALES.
THE ANNUAL MEETING and show of stock will be held at
Ruthin, on Thursday, the 27th inst. The main ploughing
will take place in a field near the town of Ruthin, at nine in
the morning.
CHESTER CHEESE FAIR.—At the Sept. fair on Wednesday
there was an average supply of cheese for the time of year.
There were many buyers on the ground, and the sale was very
brisk, and prices ranging from 50s. to 605., 685., 725. and 735.
ON TUESDAY, Patrick Kelly, a labourer employed at the
Birkenhead graving docks, fell a distance of about 30 feet and
sustained very severe general contusions. He was taken to
the Dispensary, where he yet remains in a very precarious
state.
ON TUESDAY, Thomas Meek was taken before Sir E. Cust,
on a charge of having embezzled various sums of money, the
property of Mr. Robert Hughes, house agent. He was re-
manded. On Thursday he was again brought up and dis-
charged.
CHESTER CATTLE FAIR.—A few fat cattle were shown,
which sold at 7d.; not much mutton on offer. Sheep 7d. A
large number of store sheep were on sale, but did not change
hands readily, as high prices were asked, and many remained
unsold. Fat pigs fetched from 511 to 6d. ; store pigs were
also very dear.
AN INQUEST was held at Egremont on Thursday, on the
body of a child which had been washed ashore. A verdict of
found drowned was returned, but since the inquest certain
facts have transpired, from which there is reason to believe
that some further investigation will be made in the matter.
The child was full grown, and when found was wrapped in
some pieces of cloth.
PENMON, ANGLESEA..—The ancient and most interesting
church at this place has just been restored, in good and cor-
rect taste, under the auspices of Sir R. W. Bulkeley, Bart.,
and the zealous and indefatigable rector of the parish, the
Rev. P. Constable Ellis. It is to be re-opened, we learn, to-
morrow ; and as a sum of nigh £2OO is still wanted to clear off
the expenses incurred, some exertion should be made to raise it.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday, a child, five years old,
named Joseph Welsh, residing in Albion-street, was run over
by the Oxton omnibus. He was playing in the street, and
got too near the vehicle, one of the wheels of which passed
over his thigh and fractured it. He was taken to the hospital,
where he died the same night. It was considered that no
blame rested upon the driver.
FALL or SEBASTOPOL.—The glorious news of the fall of
Sebastopol was received in Chester with every loyal demon-
stration of joy ; the bells of the cathedral and the other
churches rang out animating peals ; flags were displayed at
the Exchange and other public buildings, and many private
residences also "hung out their banners on the outer walls ;"
while each man congratulated his neighbour on the welcome
intelligence.—Chester Courant.
HIGHER BEBINGTON.—At the special general meeting of
the ratepayers of Higher Bebington, held for the purpose of
appointing an assistant overseer to fill up the vacancy oc-
casioned by the flight of Mr. John Dakin, jun., two candidates
were proposed, Robert Dobson and Richard Oxton. A poll
took place, which resulted in the election of Mr. Dobson, by a
majority of 52 persons and 111 votes.
A CHILD BURNED.—On Friday afternoon, Sarah Murray,
who resides with her parents in Leicester-street, Birkenhead,
was putting some shavings on the fire, when her clothes be-
came ignited, and she was very severely burned about the
chest. She was removed to the Infirmary, where she is pro-
gressing favourably towards recovery.
THE LATE CRIMINAL CHARGE AT EGRBMONT.—It will be
remembered that the application to the local magistrates to
admit James Dalziel to bail, on the charge of having assaulted
Jane Jones, a domestic in the hotel kept by his brother, was
declined. Since then application has been made to the judges,
and on Wednesday a judge's order was received, admitting
the prisoner to bail, himself in £3OO, with two sureties of
£l5O each, or three in £lOO each. On Thursday the bail was
tendered and accepted.
CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—The traffic for the
week ended September 9th, 1855, was as follows :—Passengers,
parcels, Szc., £4,103 2s. 4d.; steam-boats, £527 ss. 10d; goods,
£2,162 lls. 11d.; total, including Carnarvon traffic, £6,793
Os. ld. Corresponding week last year : —Passengers, parcels,
&c., £4,008 Bs. ld. ; steam-boats, £558 16s. 4d. ; goods,
£1,582 9s. 7d.; total, including Carnarvon traffic, £6,149
11s. Od. Increase, £643 Os. ld.
TIIR HARVEST IN NORTH WALES.—The harvest in the
various counties of North Wales is rapidly being gathered
during the present magnificent weather, and there is every
probability that the season this year will be an unusually short
one. In the more forward districts the major portion has been
housed, while upon the hills and later districts operations will
soon commence. There is no doubt that the yield of all cereals
will be a very abundant one, and the grain is full, firm, and
very sound, More cheering harvest weather could not be
imagined, and the farmers have taken every advantage of it.
THE AREA. OF THE DIOCESE OF CIISSTER.—From a
schedule appended to the last report on cathedral and colle-
giate churches, it appears that in the diocese of Chester the
population numbers over a million of souls, that its area in
acres is one and a-half million, and that its ecclesiastical bene-
fices are 430. The diocese of Manchester has the largest po-
pulation of any see save that of London, and the acreage of
York is the most extensive with the same exception.
AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATIL—A gentleman named Ro-
binson, a resident of Liverpool, making a tour through Wales
for the benefit of his health, arrived at the Uxbridge Arms
Hotel, Carnarvon, on Thursday evening, having travelled in
a carriage, accompanied by a friend and a servant, from Con-
way. About eleven o'clock the same night he was attacked
with apoplexy, and expired in a few minutes. His body,
placed in a coffin, and enclosed in a box, was conveyed to
Liverpool the following morning by steamer.— Carnarvon
Herald.
EXPLOSION OF STEAM COAL.—At about six o'clock on Fri-
day morning, the 7th inst., the inhabitants of the Bute dis-
trict of the town of Cardiff were alarmed by a loud explosion,
which turned out to have been occasioned by an explosion of
On IJUail of a MAUL vessel, called the Jacob
Hunger, which was lying in the port preparatory to her sail-
ing. The force of the explosion tore up and shattered the
decks, throwing fragments of the woodwork to considerable
distances, and actually hurling the anchor overboard into the
water. The captain was very much burned about the head
face, &c., and the first mate was also scorched considerably.
CoNGLExoN.—The Lord Mayor of London, Sir Francis
Moon, being on a visit to Mr. Thomas Johnson of Buglaton, the
people of Congleton seized upon the opportunity as a favour-
able one for the exercise of hospitality, and invited his Lord-
ship to an entertainment of cakes and sack at the Town-hall
at two o'clock on Friday. His Lordship arrived at the Town-
hall at the appointed hour, and was introduced to the Council-
room, when, in the absence of the Mayor from family affliction,
Alderman Hogg presided. After an introductory speech from
the chairman, Alderman Goods proposed, and Alderman Sut-
ton seconded, the presentation of an address to the Lord Mayor,
which proposition being unanimously approved, the address was
read and suitably acknowledged by his Lordship. The cor-
poration and guest then adjourned to the Assembly-rooms,
where a handsome collation was prepared, consisting of the
time-honoured cakes of Congleton, and dessert wines.

PROVISIONS.
LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 14.—The demand for neer Sc only
moderately active, but there is no giving way in price, as the
light stock imparts confidence to the buyer. Pork sells slowly,
the dealers buying only for present wants, anticipating, in the
absence of any government contracts, lower prices for new Irish.
For the little bacon now left extreme prices are obtained, but new
Irish and English cure is already talked of as likely to open soon,
and at lower prices. Lard has further advanced 6d to Is per
cwt., and the sales reach nearly 100 tons. Fine cheese continues
to move freely at full prices.
SEPT. 17.—There was an excellent demand for butter last week
for present consumption, and prices advanced is to 2s per cwt.
The supply is moderate, the stock is reduced into a small compass,
and the tone of the trade is healthy at the quotations. Waterford
and Clonmel, 99s to 102; Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wexford, 975 to
995; Limerick and Sligo, 925 to 975 per cwt. landed. Imported
from Ireland, from the Bth to the 14th instant, both inclusive,
11,412 firkins, 7 kegs, 579 crocks, 248 boxes, and 201 barrels butter,

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—MrS. Learoyd, re-
siding next door to the Maypole Inn, Warley Town, Halifax,
suffered with a dreadful bad leg for twenty years. There were six
ulcers round the ancle, which became so painful that she was
disabled from attending even to her household affairs, and though
she consulted many eminent medical practitioners, she derived
no benefit whatever. At last she commenced using Holloway's
Ointment and Pills, which quickly caused the wounds to heal,
and thoroughly re-established her health, although she is sixty.
five years of age.

LATEST NEWS.
THE WAR.
MADRID, Sept. 14.—The French Ambassador has given
orders for a Te Den to be performed on the 16th, in the
French church, in honour of the fall of Sebastopol. The
intelligence was received with enthusiasm.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 15.—Prince Gortschakoff writes
on the 11th :—" We blew up a great part of the fortifications
of Southern Sebastopol. The enemy begins to appear in
groups not very numerous amidst the ruins of the city. We
have transported to the north part of the place all the wounded
who remained on the southern side after the assault of the
Bth. The allies left in our hands as prisoners 1 superior
officer, 7 subalterns, and 160 soldiers."
MARSEILLES, Sept. 16.—Preparations are being made to
send out 10,000 horses to the East. The news of the late
victory was known at Constantinople on the 9th. It caused
immense rejoicings.
MARSEILLES, Sunday. The Turkish government has
resolved on establishing lighthouses on all its coasts. The
fleet of gunboats at Rutschuk is armed and ready to act on
the Danubian defences of Russia. Advices from Kars of the
18th August state that supplies have arrived for the garrison.
Some convoys, however, have been intercepted by the enemy.
General Pelissier is fortifying the Tractir, and strengthening
the defences on the Mackenzie Road. The Allied cavalry
occupy Karnara. The Russians are said to have received
reinforcements to the amount of 20,000 men of the army of
reserve. Sebastopol is suffering dreadfully. The masked
batteries are ready to open fire. The Russians are busy on
the north side in fortifying and throwing up works.
IBY ELECTRIC & INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPHS.]
• LONDON, Monday Night.
A Cabinet Council was held at the Forei;n•ofce this
afternoon.
THE WAR.
MARSEILLES, Sunday, Sept. 16.
The Louqsor, which left Constantinople on the 6th instant,
has arrived.
She brings advices from the Crimea to the 4th.
The Indian mail has arrived.
The despatches will leave together at 9 a.m.
Artillerymen and horses are embarking in numbers.
Dragoons are expected.
The Pasha of Egypt, accompanied by the French Consul,
left Alexandria on the 9th of September, on board a war
steamer, for Marseilles, en route to Paris and London.
The Post states that, previous to the invasion of the Crimea
by the Allies, the Russian fleet at Sebastopol consisted of
fourteen ships-of-the-line, five of which were of 120 guns, eight
of 84 guns, one of 80 guns, four of 60 gun frigates, five cor-
vettes, and brigs of 18 to 20 guns, seven small vessels, eleven
transports, sixty-four gun-boats, six large steamers, and six
small steamers ; in all 108 sail, mounting 2,000 guns.
The Times Paris correspondent writes :—" No news of im-
portance from Sebastopol has transpired. It is rumoured,
however, that Prince Gortschakoff has received an order from
St. Petersburgh to evacuate the Crimea, on condition of being
allowed by Marshal Pelissier to quit the north forts with
arms and baggage. Pelissier is said to have referred to his
Government for instructions."
The Havre Journal states that considerable activity pre-
vails at that port in the dispatch of material of war to the
East. Another French paper states that an order for 20,000
muskets for the English army has been given at St. Etienne.
A Marseilles letter mentions, on the faith of a telegraphic
dispatch from Naples, that the Neapolitan Government had
just suppressed the quarantine on vessels from ➢larseilles,
Genoa, and Leghorn.
The Times' Vienna correspondent states positively that the
Russian Minister at Vienna has received orders to be at War
saw on the 21st, to meet the Emperor Alexander, who will
arrive there on the 22nd or 23rd. The same correspondent's
letter, for the most part, consists of statement' to show that the
Austrian Government concurs in the justice of the complaints
against the King of Naples-
The Times' Berlin correspondent says that the fall of
Sebastopol will not in the slightest degree change the attitude
of Prussia.
Germany desires nothing but to be left alone to herself.
(The Globe says we may expect to receiv ci.......,1 Simi,-
son's despatch, with details of the 4311 of Sebastopol, in the
course of Wednesday. Major the Hon. Leicester Curzon, of
the Rifle Brigade, Assistant Military Secretary to General
Simpson, left Balaklava with the despatches on the 11th, in
the Telegraph steamer, direct for Marseilles, where he should
arrive some time to-day, or early to-morrow, with tolerably
fair weather. Immediately on his arrival in town, Major
Curzon will proceed to Balmoral with copies of the despatches
for Her Majesty, and the rank of Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel
will, in all probability, be bestowed on him.
The Morning Post's Paris correspondent telegraphs as
follows :—lmmediately after receiving intelligence of the fall
of Sebastopol, the Emperor charged the Minister of War to
transmit the following despatch to General Pelissier :
" Honor to you Honor to all our brave army—congratulate
all in my name " Also the following :—" The Emperor
charges you to eomgratulate the English army in his name on
the constant valour and moral force which it has displayed
during this long and trying campaign."
The Paris journal, La Pays, of this day, has a despatch
from Berlin, stating that the Emperor of Russia notified the
fall of Sebastopol to the King of Prussia by a private tele-
graphic despatch. The Emperor stated that he was firmly
resolved on accepting no conditions of peace whatever that
should be derogatory to Russia as a great power. A letter in
the Debats repeats the report of this despatch, and says that
it contains textually the following words—" Russia never
,makes peace after disaster."
The Morning Posts Paris correspondent says, General
Pclissier's latest despat2hes simply state—" We are beginning
to .occupy the town of Sebastopol. All goes on well. The
materiel left by the enemy is even more extensive than at
first anticipated. We shall be able to adapt many large
buildings to the uses of the army."

The Gazette returns of the last and present week will
doubtless exhibit diminutions in the amount of notes unem-
ployed and in the stock of bullion calculated to excite anxiety,
but for the knowledge now afforded previously to their appear-
ance that a vigorous check has been applied. Little question
seems to be entertained that the instalment of £1,000,000
sterling paid yesterday (Thursday) on the Turkish loan will
forthwith be sent in sovereigns to Constantinople, and that
during the next five months the remaining £3,000,000 will be
despatched in a similar manner. The Australian arrivals,
moreover, are still delayed, only £176,000 having been received
out of £BOO,OOO that may be considered due ; and, finally, the
extraordinary firmness of the corn market in the face of a
satisfactory harvest at home, and of an unusual surplus in the
United States and Canada, has disappointed all expectations,
and led to the transmission of large orders, accompanied by
specie, to the Danube and elsewhere. Under these circum-
stances the Bank had no alternative in deciding upon a fur-
ther and immediate rise, especially as there was not the
remotest prospect of its suddenness causing panic or even
inconvenience in any quarter. Although commerce has lately
assumed increased activity, there are no signs of undue specu-
lation either in the manufacturing towns or on the London
Stock Exchange, and the news of the fall of Sebastopol has
imparted a feeling of confidence, the effect of which will be
much more powerful in sustaining trade than that of the
present notification in depressing it. There is, consequently, no
reason to depart from the conviction that everything will go on
smoothly, and that, even if further measures should be requisite,
they will not produce any disturbance. Some persons are disposed
to believe that a return to 5 per cent. will be adopted before the
close of the year, but the drain of specie just witnessed has
been so sudden, and has so evidently resulted from a combina-
tion of unusual causes, that it will be against all experience if
an early reaction is not witnessed. The Bank of England rate
for advances on Government securities during the shutting of
the transfer bpoks has been raised simultaneously with the
rate of discount, and will now be 4 instead of 31 per cent.
The discount houses to-day were unprepared for the step
taken by the bank, and resolved to delay till to-morrow their
decision regarding their future rate of allowance for money at
call. The joint-stock banks advanced their rate for fixed de-
posits, and the London and Westminster, the London Joint-
stock, and the Union now allow 31 per cent."
The return from the Bank of England for the week
ending the Bth of September gives the following results,
when compared with the previous week :
Public Deposits ... £7,591,337 ; Increase ... £323,368
Other Deposits ... 10,979,353 ; Decrease... 127,665
Rest ... ... 3,637,340; Increase ... 8,617
On the other side of the account :
Government Securities £13,031,088;
Other Securities
Notes unemployed
The amount of notes in circulation is £20,142,150,
being a decrease of £37,475, and the stock of
bullion in both departments is £14,217,376, showing
a decrease of £721,742, when compared with the
preceding return.

The SHAREMARKET has been extremely depressed
all week, and prices have continued declining each day,
closing this evening at the lowest point of the year.
London and North-Western is heavy at 92, Leeds
761, Midland 651,-4,. The pressure in the money market
has caused this great decline. We annex the prices

COTTON.---There has been a moderate amount of
business done during the week, great animation hav-
ing been caused by the intelligence of the fall of Sebas-
topol; but this was afterwards checked, owing to the
rise in the rate of interest and the advance in the Corn
market, and prices slightly declined, the reduction in
some instances amounting to 1-16 d. per lb. The sales
for the week up to Friday reached 46,330 bales, of
which 5,930 were taken on speculation, and 5,880 for
export, leaving 34,520 for the trade.---To-DAY, the
advices by the Pacific were to hand with accounts of
lower prices on the other side, and the effect was a
decline to the extent of id. per lb. The sales were
6,000 bales, all to the trade, and the tone of the mar-
ket was moderately firm. The following is a compa-
rison of present rates with those of the corresponding

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
chiefly of a light and easy character, and it is crossed by
bridges of stone or iron, at the necessary roads and occupation
crossings. Several heavy and important puddle trenches
have, however, been executed on this portion of the works.
These have all been completed, and now the well-smoothed
slopes of the varions cuttings and embankments present
nothing to the eye to indicate the great engineering skill and
labour that has been bestowed upon these really important
portions of the undertaking—the constant object of the engi-
neer throughout the whole of the works having been to have
them so constructed that not a single drop of water, to which
the promoters—namely, the Corporation—may by their act be
entitled, shall, if possible, be allowed to escape.
The southern termination of the goit, or canal, brings us to
the first extensive storage reservoir, called the Anglezark
reservoir. This reservoir is about one mile and a half long,
and will, when full, cover a space of about 185 acres. Its
capacity for storage is estimated at about eleven hundred
million gallons, which will be supplied by the goit before
described, and by the watershed, or gathering ground, from
several thousand acres, including also the river Yarrow, which
takes its rise on the eastern side of it, in the hilly district of
the Anglezark Moor, and passes through the lower portion of
the reservoir, where its progress is now arrested by the
Knowsley embankment.
The locality of the Anglezark reservoir, and the various
works therefrom to form it into a reservoir, are as follow :
namely, the reservoir commences at Heapey, near to where
the canal or goit deboaches into it, and is in fact a valley of
about one mile and a half in length, lying between hills, the
eastern side being the Anglezark Moor, with some fine wooded
and pasture lands at the foot, extending to the borders of the
reservoir, and on the western side are the wooded and pasture
lands of Heath Charnock, Anderton, &c. This reservoir ter-
minates at the Knowsley embankment, near to an elegant
mansion lately erected by Peter Martin, Esq., a county magis-
trate for the Bolton district, and which mansion is situated on
the banks of the Rivington, or lower reservoir, to be hereafter
described.
For the purpose of enclosing and retaining the waters in
this reservoir the following works have been constructed, and
almost completed ir—First, the Heapey embankment, at the
top or northern extremity of the reservoir. This embank-
ment is about 100 yards in length, and about 32 feet high'
from its base. It extends across a narrow pass, and will re
tain the waters which used to flow from the Anglezark Moor
down the Heapey Brook through the Heapey valley westward.
The next work on this reservoir is the Heath Charnock
embankment, now complete. This is an extensive work,
being about 840 yards long, and has a side bank made to re-
tain the waters in the reservoir on the western side, where the
boundary of the valley was not sufficiently high for this pur-
pose. Its greatest height is about thirty feet above the old
natural surface of the ifrotind.
Opposite to this bank; and on the eastern side of the reser-
voir, there is also a side bank called. the' Leicester Mill bank.
This is not a water-tight bank, and has in the middle of it a
three-arched bridge, of light and elegant design, over the river
Yarrow. Through this bridge the' waters- will have access on
both sides of the embankment,. upon the filling of the Angle-
zark reserfoir. This embankment also carries the road that
used to' pass along the bottom of the valley from: Anglezark
Moor and Leicester Mill to Chorley.
The new road is now continued from the' southern end of
the Leicester Mill Bank, along the side of the reservoir, over
the Knowsley embankment, into the' old road to- Chorley.
We now come teethe heaviest and most expensive work that
that has been exectited to enable this reservoir to be formed,
viz., the Knowsley embankment.
his embankment is about 270 yara• long, and crosses
the valley at a height of about forty-five feet about its-sur-
face. This embankment, as are also the Heapey and Heath.
Charnock banks, is'perfectly water-tight, having a puddle-
wall running along its' entire length. The' puddle-wall
founded on a water-tight stratum, which, in several places in'
this embankment, is-above twenty feet below the bottom of
the valley, or above 115. feet in its total height to the top of
the embankment. Through. the embankment on the western
sidle is carried a tunnel, provided with a shaft and proper
verges and apparatus-for discharging the waters of this reser-
voir' into the Rivington, or lower storage, reservoir;
IThe Knowsley embankment; although not the' most ex-
tetssive, was in reality the' most difficult and formidable of
all the embankments- to' construct. The chief difficulty
being to obtain access to' a. really' water-tight stratum for
the' foundation for the paddle-wall, -which was not obtained
till the• workmen had excavated to 'a depth of seventy-two
feet below the surface of the 'valley ;- and here a substantial
foundation, was found upon, the' solid shale. The experi-
mental boring-at this point gave 'softie interesting geological
features` of detail. The mass of shale was found to be fifty-feet
deep without' aloint ; through an additional depth of eighty
feet more the-shale was found a little jointy, and below this
mon:nowt-mass-the millstone grit,-the 'prevailing formaticv
of the district, ritta reached, whereas-at the lower end cf
the goit, the grit was reached at a depth ,of eighty feet, with.--
out any superineumbent shale.]
The-Rivington or lower reservoir commences immediately at-
the foot of the Knowsley embankment, and a thence proceeds-
along the valley of the Yarrow under' the 'house of Peter
Martin,,Esq. Followingthe valley of theYntrow, the reservoir
is held up by the Yarrow embankment, at apoint a little below
Mr. Martin's house; and then is continued alongthe Rivington
valley, nearly north andsouth, having on its-eastern side the
village of •Rivington,and the well-wooded: and pasture lands
at the foot'of the famonS Rivington Pike, which may be seen,
throughout the whole of this reservoir, towering -above the
low lands to the south and west of it.
The western side of thereservoir is bounded by the western
lands of Anderton; and across the valley at the lower end next
to ilerwich has been "constructed the Horwich embankment,
,an extensive work, about fifty-eight feet in height, which ter-
minates the RtVington; or largest storage reservoir._ This re-
servoir, when fall, win carer about 268 acres and' its storage
capacity will be about 100;000,000 gallorses.which. added
the-Anglezark rp.ervoir,- Email average of above 450
aeres, and a storage capacity of about 3,000,000,000-gallons, for
the two large reservoirs alone.
The prin-cipal engineering- works on the RiVington Reser-
voir are the sido-bank ncroas, the-river Yarrow, before men-
tined, which is in progress, and only wants. the pitching and
hyewash; or overflow, for the flood-waters, to-complete it ; the
Bakkboy embankment, which has for some time been
finished,, and which crosses thereservoir opposite to Rivington„
earrying_the road from that village to Anderton and Chorley,
which road used to run Along the valley, past the old Black-
boy,-or Blacka-moeFs-head inn. This house -is- now under-
going the process of-demolition. Its successor,,-.the intended
nee*. nockboy Innel:l3s -been erected and completed unme-
dia.telyr under Rivington Church; and close to the side of the
new-road, carried across- the- valley by the Blaekboy rnbank-.
mentrby Robt. Andrews,Esq".ktrd of the manor of Rivington,.
and ti.cotmty magistrate.
Nature has there--assisted i the engineer, .and saved the
pockets of the Corporation,. by the depth of the-valley down
which the reservoir will be formed, for we meet with no fun,
titer artificial boundary- to-.the reservoir till we. arrive at the.
Millstone embankment, a wayside bank, across a low dip in:
the. Anderton side of the valley-. This embankment is about
800 •yards -long, and has been for some time completed. Its-
greatest depth is about 30- feet. It also carries the turnr-llee-
road. from .Bolton to- Chorley and Preston- over its surface, in
liem of the old roast.whieli is now inside the reservoir.
The final great work: of this reservoir iS. the Horwich em-
bankment, which commences at the southern extremity of the
Millstone Bank, and :is,. indeed, partly a continuation of, it,
and,. proceeds by the side .of the Bolton- and Chorley road
southward for some distance, and then turns nearly at right
angles from the Anderton side across thevalleyto the Eying-
ton side. Its length is- about 640 yards, and ,its greatest-
heiglit is about 58-feet above the Rivington valley.
At the foot of the . Horwich embankment, without the
reservoir, and immediately adjoining. it, are the filtration
works.. These consist of six compardnents for filtering, and
two pure water tanks,..with which the main , leading to Liver-
pool communicates. _
The above works comprise the whole of the scheme for the
collecting, storing, and filtering the water for the supply of
the town of Liverpool, and are altogether rapidly approaching
completion. There are at present employed upon, these works
about 1,400 men, each day, and about 100 horses.
[Each of -these embankments. is furnished with a waste-
weir

nicates directly with the brook. The embankments are also
furnished with apparatus. admirably suited for running- off
the-supply, and also for -compensation water, both of which
will be regulated with the nicest accuracy.]
After having walked over and inspected the whole of the
works, as far as the Blackboy embankment, in the middle of
the Rivington reservoir, the company sat down to a sumptu-
ous collation in the New Rouse, Blackboy Inn.
After the cloth had been removed, the Chairman gave the
health of " Her Majesty the Queen," which was drunk with
all the honours. Mr.. Aldernum S. Holme next proposed
" The Emperor-of the French," remarking on the excellent
moral and social qualities of the French people, as he had
himself seen and experienced. The health of " The Mayor"
was drunk with all the honours, which his. worship tastefully
acknowledged. " The Dock Committee" was then proposed
by Mr. Fernihough, and, having been duly honoured by the
company, was responded to by Mr. C. Turner, chairman of
the Dock Committee.
The company then proceeded to inspect the filtering beds,
and other portions of the works in that vicinity,
The filtering beds occupy the eastern half of the valley,
immediately to the south of the Iforwich embankment, to
the extent of about 1000 feet, the western half being occu-
pied by two equalizing or pure water tanks. The filtering
beds are large excavated tanks, each 350 feet long, and 150
feet broad, separated from each other by an embankment
about ten feet wide at the top. They are each about ten feet
deep, and the filtering apparatus commences by a covered
drain sunk about two feet below the general bottom of the
tank, on each side converging in the middle to a sluice valve
communicating with the pure water tanks by a tunnel and
tube. Above the drain referred to is laid a bed of rough
broken stones, two feet in thickness ; this is covered by suc-
cessive layers of gradually finer broken stones and gravel, till
having reached a thickness of nearly fire feet, when it is to be
covered by a stratum eighteen inches thick of washed sand.
The pure-water or equalizing tanks are each about 450 feet
in length, by about 300 feet in width. They are puddled all
round, and covered on their floors and sides by thick and well-
set masonry. They communicate with each other by sluice
valves, and are so constructed that either one or both may be
used, according as convenience may require. They are also
furnished with a bye-wash for taking off the surplus water;
and, likewise, they have a means of communicating this sur-
plus water with the compensation water to the mills, which
runs into a brook. In the bottom of these pure-water tanks
there is an admirably contrived means of keeping the water
in a ceaseless current.
Most of the works are nearly, and some of the most impor-
tant, completely finished, those in the Anglezark reservoir
being so far advanced that they will be finished by Saturday
at the farthest. The contractors are busy with their respec-
tive works; an extent of fifteen miles of the large pipes has
already been laid, and only nine miles remain to be put in.
The chief difficulty hitherto experienced in the laying of these
pipes, by the committee and their contractors, has been over-
come in reference to the St. Helens deviation, and the work
will now be completed without further interruption.
Having completed their tour of inspection, the excursionists
were again assembled at the Horwich Station, where, having
re-entered the carriages of the special train, they started on
their homeward journey, and arrived in Liverpool about half-
past eight o'clock, haring spent a day of unalloyed pleasure,
each one impressed with the importance and scientific skill
displayed in the magnificent works which they had inspected.
Several of the gentlemen present, in all probability, from
the circumstance of not being very much acquainted with the
nature of such works as those they had been inspecting,
seemed to doubt the probability of a large supply of water
being collected in the different reservoirs ; an impression
further borne out by the dry condition the works were in at
the time of the inspection. To obviate any misconception on
this point, it may be by many deemed sufficient to state that
the area of the basin which is drained into these works is
9,847 acres, or nearly 15} square miles. As some difference
of opinion existed on this point of supply, prior to the
undertaking being proceeded with, Mr. Newlands, the
Borough Engineer, and Mr. James Simpson, C.E., were
requested to investigate the matter, and draw up a report
on the subject, which they did, and presented to the Town
Council early in 1849. From that report it appears that a
computation, extended over an average of six years, gives for
the district a rainfall of 21,600,000 gallons per day, which,
after deducting 8,200,000, the amount required for compensa-
tion, would leave 13,600,00(Y gallons per day for the supply of
Liverpool. It is true, these gentlemen stele that such an
average is excessive, as it does not take into account the defi-
ciency caused by the extra dry seasons. They further express
an opinion, that the probable deficiency, arising from the cause
referred to, will be aggravated by the storage of the reser-
voirs not being sufficient to equalise- the water for main-
tMning such a supply. These gentlemen; in their very able
report state the aggregate contents of the• three' reservoirs at
2,849,497;575 gallons, while Mr. Hawksley estimates their
capacity at 3,156,000;000 gallons. A disagreement on this
and other points of vital interest in connexion with so impor-
tant an undertaking having been thus brought Under notice,
the Council referred the matter to the arbitration. of Mr.
Robert Stephenson, the celebrated engineer. That gentle-
man, after a most minute and painstaking investigation into
all the detaile- of the question, and delivering a very elaborate
opinion concerning them; thussurnmarises the results of his-
examination :
" The contested parts•of the•prbject have had my uninter-
rupted study, and:l believe it has-been made evident :
" That the Rivington scheme is-adequate to the supplir' of
an abundance of water to meet both;the immediate wants of
the town, and also the prospective demands which may arise
from any probable increase of population for the next twenty
years to come.
"That the reservoirs- are fitted for' such a storage as will
sectire an uniform and copious supply at all seasons."
Arthe terms of the above report appear 'considerably antago-
nistic to the opinion carefully formed and deliberately ex-
pressed by the Borough Ergineer, it is but right to give also
Mi. Stephenson's remarks Ph' to the discrepancy in the com-
puted extent of storage. He-says, at page 34, of his report :
" The capacity of the reservoirs 'is -stated by Mr: Newlands to
be 2,839;000,000 gallons, and by Mr. Hawksleyi 3;156,000,000
gallons;. which difference is canned by the addition, when re-
quirediof two feet to their depth by moveable shuttles,or flush-
boards on the weir,an intention probably unknown to Mr. New-
lands." Agehl, in respect to the anticipated daily supply as
estimated by Mr. Newlands, Mr; Stephenson,. at page 37 of
his report, sayt —"I feel it but-justice to Messre.:Simpson
and Newlands to state, that when they made their calculations
on this subject they were unacquainted with several, arrange.
ments contemplated' by Mr. Hawkslsy, which are not apparent
on the face of the parliamentary plans, although having a
decided beariugn. pon the final results."

Their Highland retreat ;at Balmoral; London is 4e-

ask,tke Minister in town -to attend to the concerns -of
tho.war ; the Assizes .are over ; and ewrywhere those
who, can are enjoying the 4E:flights of marine or rural
retreats. Under such Circumstances, when the ex-
citement of business has ,been . superseded by the
quietude of rest and recreation, it is difficult to excite
attention to any topics beyond. those •,which may be
considered immediately presaing., .The war:, however,
is still"being carried on,; -the interesting pro-
ceedings -connected with the -capture of Sebastopol
have served in some deg Tee to gratify the-thirst for
sometifingoaew ; but as days elapse without receiving
any important particulars, it is found: necessaryio dis-
cover another theme on which to,ereste an excitement.
Under these -circumstances, it is not .surprisingl(:,-hat
monetary affeilas have been brought ,uuder discussion,
and magnifiedirdo a matter of more,oonsequence-then
they would otherwise be entitled to. Ilt;appears frog,
the returns, pulilished every Friday in 'the _Landon
Gazette, that for .some few weeks there 'has been .a
decrease in the stock of bullion in the Bar,k.of Eng-
land, a circumstance which might have created very
,little attention but for:the publicity rendered eompul-
:sexy by PEEL'S Act of 1844. The Bank Dixectors
accordingly raised their minimum rate of diseount
from 31 to 4 per cent., and again, a week afterwards,
to 4 per cent. This has been eagerly seized upon ;as
a ground for apprehension es to monetary security,
when, in reality, there is nothing but the bare fact
upon whioli to raise any comment, the accompanying
circumstances conducing rather to inspire confidence.
If the stock of bullion has decreased, it remains at
more than fourteen millions, and there is a reserve of
unemployed notes of more than seven millions and a
half, with an aetiv,e circulation of above twenty mil-
lions. The diminution may be easily ,accounted for
without the slightest cause for fear as to results. In-
stalments have had to be paid for three loans raised
for the purposes of the war: there have been but few
arrivals of specie lately in proportion to the quantity
known to be on the way, and the recent rise in several
important markets has necessarily created a demand
for money for the ordinary purposes of trade, as shown
by the increase of nearly a million under the head of
" other securities." On the other hand, there is
nothing in the state of commercial affairs to justify
any anxiety—for, notwithstanding a general augmen-
tation of prices, there has been a remarkable freedom
from hazardous speculation, and bankruptcies have
been almost confined to retail traders. Indeed, mer-
cantile affairs may be considered in a peculiarly healthy
state, and even the demands for the war have been
more than supplied by the receipts of specie. If some
sudden revulsion had occurred in one or more of our
principal markets, so that semanarge raves were

2WE RIVING rON WATER SORZAIE.
Ira accordance with a :resolution of the 'Town Council,
that body, accompanied by numerous genthmen con-
ainc.ted with different public bodies, paid a visit ,of
inspection, on Wed day, 'to' the stupendous Nvaterworks
in the vicinity ef Ritingtot, now rapidly drawing
qt-wards a conclusion. A 'full-report upon the :Waal state of
tthe works will be foandin another part of this day's Standaid.
and to it we refer our readers far details aif :the complicated
cperations. Ruch ,controversy has already lasenexpended, and
conflicting opinions still 'exist on the subject of the real
value of these works. • The' tie for controvrsy respecting
',this vexed question has ..nev•passed. Theivniks, after a vast
outlay of capital, and a-serious expenditure,cifeexcited feeling,
have become so !nearly iniihed, that discussions upon their
ttAteoretical writs (cast- teihnief general iiiropur'nnce ; and it-is
Know more in necorclanee,with the pubEclinterest thatihose
who are possessed ,of ,practical information on such subjects.;
-.-should unite in 'their endeavours to carry into efficient opera-
-rtion those works for .which the commanity.have already *aid,
,90 high a ransom than • to keetablish a demonstration of their
-:conjectured inefficiency.
That the Itivington scheme was vigorously opposed, bytnani
who felt athorongheonviction of its ineuneoliency, is true; :and
L • an offering an uncomproniising oppositiort,te a project which
-they conscientiously , condemned, so bong ..as there appearep
L reasonable grounds for believing that the ; opposition could be
effective, those .gentlemen merely. diseharged a public.l4o,
. and in doing so were entitled to high com.mendation. To con-:
-'Snue that opposition wherelpreventioncannat be achieved, and.
' . where nothing beyond embarrassmentcan be reasonably ex-,
, pected to follow, is F.not-7 to pursue the ,path of duty, nor •to
mealise the objects whiehthey have themselves in view. As•
.:their object,in the first instance, was tosecnreto thy community:
,a full supply of pure.uwater, and as ,they.differed from their 1
brethren in regard to• the means by which-,so desirable an entl
liras to be obtained, ;they: did well to controvert the views of
-their opponents byevery fair and legitimate means. 'noir
; • warnings have heen.disregaraled, and their-traggestions over-
. =tied by the union of opinion among gentlemen as fairly An,
titled to represent, the public interests as they were, and the
controverted project, has,:now been so ,far•,carried out, that to
revert to the original -state •ef matters regarding it is impose
*ale. To make the most ofthe bargain,. Whether a good or. a
.bad;one, is, under existipg,cimumstenees,•sonbviously the in-
terest of all, that it wouldbe insulting to.thegood sense of the
community were we to imagine the existence of any other'
feeling than an ardent desire,. on all hands, tofe.alise the bent;
fits .asbeh must arise front the 'completion of these works.
From the details, which.will he found in thereport referred
to at the beginning of this.. article, it will be seen that by far
the,heaniest portions of the: word; have been executed, and that
all of them are being pnehed :forward to a. conclusion with
. alacrity and skill. So far as-eolild be gathered from a close ,
inspectionnf the works, and inquiries made on the spot, there
appears every reason for believing that theresemoirs and their
appurtenances, the filtering beds, equalising tanks, and other !
portions of the storage and supply machinery, AO be com. ,
rpleted witibLa month or two. Tbe pipe-laying has also been

department will cow be vigorously _prosecuted. I

THERE was a .collision on Saturday night on the -Mersey
between the 'tali-past eight Woodside boat, from,the.Land,ing-
stage, and a flat which was .coming down the river with the
tide, and all saiLset. Nobogymas hurt.
A VERY DETERMINED "YOITAO- CRIMINAL.-40bzu *lover,'
boy ten years of -age, whose head did not even reach to the
-top of the dock, was
.yesterday charged before Mr. &Tab, one
•qf the borough magistrates; with picking the pocket of Mr.
Dknnis Murphy, butcher, on Saturday, while he was standing
in front of his own stall in St. James's Market. A market-
confdable saw the theft, and immediately took the youngster
into:custody, with three balfcrowns and a florin belonging to
Mr. Murphy, in his hand. When the evidence had been given,
the child's stepmother came forward and.said that about three
weeks before he was charged with stealing ropes, upon which
occasion he was given up to her care upon ,promising to be a
good boy for the future and go to school. She took him home,
washed him, put on him a clean shirt and pinafore, and " made
him decent," when he went out again, and she ;had never seen
him since until now. Mr. Smith : "He seems determined to
be a very bad boy ; take him into the other ,cosrt to Mr.
Mansfield." The boy was accordingly taken beforObe stipen-
diary magistrate, who, after giving the case a deliberate con-
sideration, ordered the lad to be confined in gaol for three
days and once whipped.
SwF THE CLOCK !—Four young men, Thomas Waleh, John
Barry, Patrick Dougherty, and Thomas Walker, were brought
up at the police-court yesterday, charged with stealing a time-
piece. Police-officer 429, said that about a quarter to 3 o'clock
on Sunday morning, he heard that "a clock had been seen
going up Adlington-street," in the possession of three men.
Thinking this an extraordinary movement, even for the most
eccentric time-piece, he followed up Adlington-street, when he
met Walsh, Barry, and Dougherty coming down the street to-
gether. He seized Walch, and asked him where he had been
to. Walsh took him back to a house kept by Walker, in a
eourt in Adlington-street, where a clock, supposed to be the
one stolen, was found in a dismembered state—the face here,
the fingers there, the pendulum, &c., somewhere else. The
officer took the clock "into custody," and attempted to do the
same with the three men, all of whom had come back to the
house, but they made off. Walsh tried to escape by getting
over a wall into Lance-street, but the wall giving way he fell
into the adjoining court, and the officer ran round and captured
him. The other prisoners were afterwards secured, and the
officer then searched for the owner of the stolen clock, and
found him in the person of Mr. Patrick Carroll, of No. 9,
Court, Johnson-street. All parties were brought before the
police-court yesterday, when Mr. Carroll told the bench that
he went home about 2 o'clock on Sunday morning, at which
time his clock was quite safe, and "going" audibly enough.
An " hour or so" after, he found to his surprise, however, that
it was gone, and he identified the one produced as his property.
It transpired that Walker was in bed when the officer visited ,1
his house, and as he protested that he knew nothing whatever
of the clock, he was disaargedt The 9thers wcrf sent to gaol
fOr two months smb.

PROVISIONS.
LIVERPOOL, Seer. 14.—The demand for beef is only
moderately active, but there is no giving way in price, as the
light stock imparts confidence to the buyer. Pork sells slowly,
the dealers buying only for present wants, anticipating, in the
absence of any government contracts, lower prices for new Irish.
For the little bacon now left extreme prices are obtained, but new
Irish and English cure is already talked of as likely to open soon,
and at lower prices. Lard has further advanced 6d to is per
cwt., and the sales reach nearly 100 tons. Fine cheese continues
to move freely at full prices.
Seer. 17.—There was an excellent demand for butter last week
for present consumption, and prices advanced Is to 2s per cwt.
The supply is moderate, the stock is reduced into a small compass,
and the tone of the trade is healthy at the quotations. Waterford
and Clonmel, 99s to 102; Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wexford, 978 to
995; Limerick and Sligo, 928 to 978 per cwt. landed. Imported
from Ireland, from the Bth to the 14th instant, both inclusive,
11,412 firkins, 7 kegs, 579 crocks? 248 boxes, and 201 barrels butter,
35 bales bacon, 4 hhds. and 1 tierces hams, 180 tierces and 159

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—Mrs. Learoyd, re-
siding next door to the Maypole Inn, Warley Town, Halifax,
suffered with a dreadful bad leg for twenty years. There were six
ulcers round the ancle, which became so painful that she was
disabled from attending even to her household affairs, and though
she consulted many eminent medical practitioners, she derived
no benefit whatever. At last she commenced using Holloway's
Ointment and Pills, which quickly caused the wounds to heal,
and thoroughly re-established her health, although she is sixty-
fivo years of age.

MILNERS' HOLDFAST AND FIRE-

Improved under the experienced and extensive Working of
MILNERS' QUADRUPLE PATENTS,
SEALED 1840, 1851, 1854, AND 1855.
The Strongest, Best, and Cheapest Safeguards in the world
against Fire, Robbery, or Violence. With Milners' 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 corn-
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:)
i
' Liverpool, December Bth, 1854.
" We hereby certify that we have this day witnessed some very
highly satisfactory experiments at Milners' Phoenix 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.—

Henry Hulme ; Joseph R. Beck; James Johnson, Deputy Chair-
man of the Watch Committee; James Robertson, Ditto; J. J.

MILNERS' PH(ENIX (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 205. 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?

TAILLESS TOOTH EXTRACTION,
(WITHOUT CHLOROFORM.)
BY ROYAL LETTERS -PATENT.
Mr. ESKELL is the only DENTIST privileged to use the Patent
in LIVERPOOL.
A new and elegant IMPROVEMENT connected with DENTAL
SURGERY has been invented by
MR. ESKELL, SURGEON DENTIST,
No. 75, RODNEY-STREET,
(CORNER OF UPPER DUKE-STREET), LIVERPOOL.
It is the construction of an entirely new description of ARTIFI-
CIAL TEETH, beautifully Enamelled and of the most exquisite
Workmanship, from Part of a Tooth to a Complete Set, and is
composed of the finest Materials, which are afterwards Enamelled
to resemble the Natural Teeth, in every Shade and Colour. They
are incorrodible, (will never change colour or decay,) and when
adapted to the mouth are not discernible from the Natural
Teeth. They are constructed upon Metals of unexceptionable
purity, and for comfort in wearing and general appearance
cannot be excelled.
Mr. ESKELL supplies ARTIFICIAL TEETH upon his new sys-
tem of SELF-ADHESION, without extracting any Teeth or
Stumps. Mr. ESKELL has Specimens in every variety, and will
be happy to show them to those interested in the subject,
when their pre-eminence will be at once apparent, and this
statement of their superiority over all others will be found to be
entirely and scrupulously correct; so much so that Mr. ESKELL
will give THREE MONTHS' TRIAL WITHOUT PAYMENT, a
sufficient guarantee of their COMFORT, EASE, BEAUTY, and
DURABILITY, at charges strictly moderate, and within the
reach of the most economical.
Incorrodible ARTIFICIiL TEETH, as above, from TEN
SHILLINGS EACH TOOTH.
FILLING DECAYED TEETH
With ESKELL'S celebrated WHITE TERRA PASTE, which
never changes colour, and is free from those injurious proper.
ties found in ordinary Stoppings. It is applied in a soft state,
like paste, to the cavity of the Tooth, without giving the slightest
pain, and in a few minutes it becomes as hard as the Enamel
of the Tooth itself.
A NEW MODE OF EXTRACTING TEETH,
BY A PATENT FULCRUM,
By which means the Gums cannot be lacerated, the danger of
breaking the Tooth prevented, and haemorrhage considerably
lessened; and the Tooth being extracted perpendicularly and
almost PAINLESS, renders Chloroform unnecessary.
" We can confidently direct attention to it as a boon to the
profession and the public."—Lancet.
" It allows of the extraction of teeth in the most scientific and
easy manner."—Afedical Times.
There is generally so much difficulty experienced in the intro-
duction of any novelty, however valuable, especially in Medicine
or Surgery, and that difficulty is so much enhanced if the inven-
tion militates against preconceived ideas, and old-established and
cherished modes of practice. that it is thought desirable to pub-
lish some of the Testimonials received in favour of the Patent
Apparatus from some of the many persons who have experienced
its benefits.
The following are some of the most eminent medical men to
whom the Chair and Fulcrum have been shown, which has met
with their entire approbation; some of them have also been
patients, and to them the reader can be more particularly re-
ferred :

ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL
possesses peculiarly nourishing powers in the growth, restoration,
and improvement of the Human Hair, and is now universally
acknowledged to be the cheapest, and superior to all other prepa-
rations for the Hair. It prevents it front falling off or turning
grey—strengthens weak hair—cleanses it front Scurf and Dandrili
—and makes it beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its operation
in cases of baldness is peculiarly active; and in the growth of the
Beard, Whiskers, Eyebrows, and Mustachios, it is unfailing in its
stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recommended,
as forming the basis of a beautiful heed of hair. In dressing the
hair nothing can equal its effect, rendering it so admirably soft
that it will lie in any direction, and imparting a transcendant
lustre. Price 3s. Gd. and 7s. ; Family Bottles (equal to four small),

of its appearance. Freckles, Tan, Pimples, Spots, Discolouration,
and other Cutaneous Visitations are eradicated by the KALynoR,

The Rev. S. llarrox, on risingovas received with cheers,
on these subsiding, he proceeded to remark on the singularity
of the resistance which was offered to the liberation of the
and narrated.a-story which.showed that the liberation
was in a great degree, brought about by the intervention,of a
woman whose husband kept horses for hire, who having*
one time been a servant to. a French nobleman. To this
nobleman she applied for his, assistance. The nobleman was
roused by her, and he appealed again and, gam to the French
government, till the liberation of the Madai was obtained.
The flev. speaker then proceeded to explain the nature and
objects,of the society, which he said had within the last four
years established a special Juission to Roman Catholics of
Engla,nd;in the same manner as the Irish missions. In this
point of view the society, he .said, is eminently.deserving of
support. The Rev. gentleman eoncluded an appropriate ad-

perfectly.iiew brass dooriknobs and washers to match. It.was
subsequently discovered that Messrs. Owen and Williams's
foundry, lieratio-street, had been broken into on Saturday
night, by-means of skeleten keys, two of which ,ivere left
behind by-therobbers, andicund in the yard. The property
which Connor was caught in :the act of concealing was ,paid of
what had beenstolen. He was sent to prison for a month.
Tn COTXON RODBERIES.—MichaeI Dunne and James
Westhead were brought up on remand at the Police-court
yesterday, charged with being concerned in the recent cotton
robberies from thekthce .of Messrs. Postlethwaite and Co., of
Exchange-chambers. The ,details kf the case were given in
the Standard very fully last week. The facts briefly are
these :--Some weeks ago an entrancemas effected into Messrs.
Postlethwaite and Co °dice, through a window in the court
.of Exchange-chambers, and a quantity of cotton samples
stolen. On the morningef Saturday week, a precisely similar
robbery was committed. Westhead, on the morning, engaged
a cart to convey some cotton from Exchange-chambers to a
cotton store in Macvicar-street, belonging to Dunne, who also
keeps a beerhouse in Portland-street. The store was after-
wards searched, and cotton samples resembling those stolen
were found concealed in a quantity of almost worthless Surat
pickings, Westhead was apprehended that afternoon at
Dunne's beerbouse. Dunne himself was in the house at the
time, but he escaped, and was not captured until the fol-
lowing Monday. Yesterday both prisoners were committed
for trial at the sessions. Bail was refused for Westhead, and
the bench deferred a similar application made on behalf of
Dunne.
CONDITION OF THE COUNCIL CHAMBER.—The Pictures
of the late Alderman Case, Sir Thomas Brancker, and Mr.
W. Wallace Currie, have been removed from the walls of the
Council-room, in the Town-hall, for the purpose of being
revarnished, under the direction of Mr. Westeott. We under-
stand there is no order of the Council to paint the Council-
room ; and anything more discreditable than the present
condition of the walls (which look as if they had not come
in contact with the brush for some twenty years) it is scarcely
possible to conceive. The aperture for the ventilator is also
visible, now that the picture of Mr. Currie is removed. On
the scientific character of this contrivance, we will only re-
mark, that, in point of originality of contrivance, it is vastly
inferior to the usual operation of the open window. We would
suggest that the Town-hall Committee should give imme-
diate instructions for the painting of the Council-r000m; and
inasmuch as six weeks, at least, must transpire before the
room could be again habitable, we would propose that the
next Council meeting be held in the new Concert-room, at
St. George's-hall, which, we believe, is admirably calculated
for such a purpose. Indeed, we are informed, that a motion
is likely very soon to be brought before the Town Council,
for the purpose of holding thcir meetings in St. Georges -bill

CATTLE.
LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 17.—With only a alight difference In our
supply to-day from that of last week, we have a much worse mar-
ket for both beef and mutton, and for middling sheep in parti-
cular the demand was exceedingly slack. A considerable number
of beasts and sheep left unsold. Beef, 6d to ; mutton, 6d to
bid._ 2,433 cattle, 15,727 sheep. _ _
'SALFORD, SEPT. 12.—The're being a larger show of beef, prices
were a little easier. Lamb and mutton being much smaller in
number, they fully maintained last week's prices. Best beef did
to 74d, middling sid to 52d, cows 4d to 4id, best wedders 6id to
7d, heavy weights sid to 6d, ewes 4/d to sd, lambs, 6d to 7d,
calves 5d to 62d. Beasts 1,170, sheep and lambs 9,200, calves 60.
DUBLIN, SEPT. 13.—The supply was considerably larger than
any we have had for several months; in fact, the first heavy sup-
ply during autumn, especially of sheep. Good meat sold fairly,
but all kinds of middling and inferior were lower. Beef, in sink,
50s to 60s ; prime, 63s per cwt. ; mutton, Sid to 60 ; veal, 7d to
lid per lb; lamb, season virtually out, 20s to 308 each. Pigs in
active demand at 55s to 56s per cwt., with increasing supplies of
good kinds.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.
MANCIEESTER.—Yarns have been in less demand, but the
orders in the hands of spinners, the improved tone, and an
upward movement in cotton, combined to render the market
a more difficult one to operate in at the beginning of the week;
but since, prices have been rather easier. Whether for India,
Germany, or the Mediterranean, the demand has been more
moderate. Yarns for the home trade, though more was ilsk“l
for them early in the week, can now be obtained at slightly
reduced rates ; still, much firmness is maintained. Cloth re-
mains without much change ; the demand has been steady, but
as the week has worn on, there has been less inquiry.
ROCIIDALE.—Rather a quiet market in flannels, and without
any change in prices. Pieces are taken off the market as fast
as they are made, and there is no accumulation of stocks.
Wool steady in price as well as demand.
HUDDERSFIELD.—The important news from Sebastopol
has had a favourable influence upon our market. While the
attendance of buyers has not been larger than usual, there has
been more activity both in the Cloth-hall and the manufac-
turers' shops, and plain goods of all kinds have met with
readier sale. The operative classes generally, throughout this
district, are now in more regular and constant employment.
LEEDS.—Prices are firm, with a.tendency to advance. The
stocks are very low for the season in the clothiers' hands, and
in consequence the are in active operation. Business has
also been of the like active character in the warehouses for the
home trade; and there are rather more orders giving out for
goods for shipping for the spring trade.
BRADFORD.—WOOI : The trade shows great firmness, and
the prices sought act as a barrier to business being done.
Noils and shorts without change.—Yarns : The increased price
for wool makes the spinners firm, at the quotations sought at
the opening of the month.—Pieces : The demand is steady,
and the goods as produced go into delivery. Prices very firm.
NOTTINGHAM.— No visible improvement in the lace or
hosiery trades. The home demand is at present our principal
business, but this is not so great as may be reasonably looked
for a week or two hence, when shopkeepers usually make their
autumnal purchases in London, Manchester, and other manu-
facturing towns. Yarn is still held at firm prices, though
there is not much doing for either lace or hosiery.
AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC.
BY the United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Captin Nye,
which arrived in the Mersey at 3 10 p.m., on Saturday, we
have intelligence from New York to the sth inst. The Pacific
brought 130 passengers, and $370,000 in specie.
There has been no further arrivals of steamers from Eng
land; but we learn that the steamer Tennessee, from Havre
bound to New York, put into Halifax short of coal, on the 4th
of September. She had also sustained some damage, having
encountered heavy weather, but she would proceed on to New
York on the same day.
A despatch from Halifax informs us, that owing to some
mismanagement in laying the submarine cable between New-
foundland and Cape Breton, it was lost when the vessel was
40 miles from Newfoundland. There is no intelligence of how
it was lost.
The crops of corn, grain, and cotton exceed all former esti-
mates.
We have received intelligence from Oswego, N.Y., of a
horrible tragedy—the murder by a young man of his father,
mother, and younger brother. It appears that the family con-
sisted of M. and Mary Fitzgerald, and their three sons, Patrick,
John, and James, aged 22,18, and 14 years, respectively. John,
the murderer, is a wayward young man, and often quarrelled
with his parents, and the last originated in consequence of
John refusing to attend the funeral of a brother, and he ridi-
culed the ceremony his parents being Romanists ; and
remarked, that if he had a gun he would shoot the cross from
the hearse. On Wednesday, the 29th of August, he refused
to go to bed. About three o'clock in the morning he mur-
dered his father, mother, and brother, with an axe. The
prisoner was shortly afterwards arrested, and an inquest was
held on the bodies. The prisoner confessed that he did kill
his father, mother, and brother with an axe, about three
o'clock on the morning of Thursday, August 30th. That since
the funeral of his brother, on the 27th of May—which he did
not attend—his parents have been displeased with him, and he
became angry with them for their course, which anger had
grown upon him, till about a week ago, he tried to poison
them by putting some strychnine into a tumbler of sugar. It
was from the same bottle which was found in his trunk. He
said no one knew anything of his intention to kill them.
A terrible accident occurred on the 29th ult., on the Camden
and Amboy railroad, between New York and Philadelphia.
The morning mail train left Philadelphia at ten o'clock, and
reached Burlington ( twenty miles) a few minutes ahead of
time—say a quarter of an hour after eleven o'clock. There
were six passenger cars in the train. By the rules of the rail-
road company, the train first arriving at Burlington, which is
the place for the meeting of the trains, is required to wait ten
minutes, and if the other train does not arrive then the first is
entitled to the road : both trains to run, looking for each other.
There is but a single track.
The up-train waited, according to orders, for the train from
New York, and then came on. When about three miles this
side of Burlington, the trains met, saw each other in season to
reverse, reversed rapidly, and the train which had left Bur-
lington a few minutes before ran back for two miles, until it
had reached a cross road half a mile this side of Burlington.
At this point a waggon with two horses, driven by Dr.
Hennegan, an old physician, residing just out of Burlington,
was crossing the track as the train backed. The hind car
struck the horses, killing them instantly, and this caused that
car to be thrown from the track, while those in front piled up
on the top of it. Four out of the six cars were thrown off the
track in this manner, and three of them were utterly destroyed.
They were all well filled with passengers, nearly all of whom
were injured more or less seriously.
The number killed is stated to be 21 persons, and about 70
others are more or less seriously wounded. Many of the per-
sons were residents of Philadelphia. Among those killed on
the spot are mentioned the names of Major Boyce, of the
United States' coast survey, with his wife, and the Baron de
St. Andre, French Consul at Philadelphia. Mr. John F. Gil-
lespie, of Natchez, one of the wounded, had his left leg ampu-
tated, and the right foot taken off. His position being very
critical, this gentleman made his will, and deposited therein
his property to the value of 5600,000, directing that in case of
his death or that of his wife the railway company should be
prosecuted to the last cent. of his fortune. Dr. Hannegan was
accompanied by his wife and two children, none of whom were
seriously injured. _ _
On the Morning of the 31st ult. another accident occurred
on the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad. The express train
ran over a cow, and three carriages were thrown off the line in
consequence. Ten persons were more or less wounded, four of
them seriously.
A third accident happened on the Brooklyn City Railroad,
caused by the breaking of a break chain when descending a
hill in Sands-street. A passenger who jumped from the carriage
was dangerously injured, and the conductor was also very
much bruised.
The Boston and Stonington Railway had been the scene of
an accident, in which ten persons were very severely injured.
It was caused by the removal of a rail, apparently by design.
A Boston paper publishes a communication from a German
recently from Halifax, giving an expose of the progress of
enlistments to the Foreign Legion in the United States. He
states that the amount paid by the British Government up to
the middle of July was $25,000, and the number of recruits
enlisted was only about 600. The writer states that the
government has not relinquished the recruiting system in the
United States, but on the contrary, has a large number of
agents employed for the coming winter, who are expected to
induce many poor working men to visit Canada, under pro-
mise of employment. The recruits, on reaching Halifax, are
said to be cheated of half their promised pay, and imprisoned
and flogged for grumbling.
A telegraphic communication from Baltimore, of the 4th,
says :—" By the boat from Norfolk we have the most awful
account of the ravages of the yellow fever in that city yet
received. A letter from Dr. Morris says that there were no
less than 64 deaths in Norfolk on Monday. The Herald
gives the names of 35 persons who died on Sunday, and says
that 50 bodies were buried on that day. 50 coffins were sent
down from here on Saturday, and orders have been received
for 100 more. The boat up brought up a large number of
people who are flying from the scourge, some of whom have
taken refuge in the rotunda of the Exchange until they can
procure lodgings. A committee of citizens of Norfolk, headed
by Dr. John Weabe, passed through here to Washington, to
ask the President for permission to remove the remainder of
the inhabitants of their city to Fort Monroe. At Portsmouth
the fever is abating, the deaths averaging about ten a day."
Subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers by the yellow fever
were being collected in various parts of the Union.
A Washington writer, referring to the right of the Danish
Government to levy Sound dues, says :—The present treaty
will terminate in April next, when, if the toll continue to be
demanded, American shipmasters will be instructed not to
pay. If they do not pay, Denmark may attempt to collect the
tax by force. Thus the casur Belli will be clear, and Captain
Hollins will be immediately ordered to Copenhagen with the
Cyne, and will batter down that ancient capital exactly as he did
Greytown.
The flight of Santa Anna from Mexico is confirmed, and his
arrival at Havana reported. The cause of his abdication, it is
said, was a desire to save his private fortune, which is immense.
He is avaricious, and took his measures so well that he suc-
ceeded in his object. The skirmish at the National Bridge is
said to have been occasioned by the attempt of the pursuing
party to capture a particular box of gold, which, although
marked as the private property of Santa Anna, was claimed to
be government funds. But his highness had taken his mea-
sures too well and got off with the gold. It is the opinion of
my informant that Santa Anna ran away sooner than was ne-
cessary, that his course was by no means desperate, and that
his flight may have been a part of a secret arrangement with
his opponents, who preferred negociation to fighting.
Brief advices from Havana, to the 28th ultimo, report the
arrival of Santa Anna there, with his family, on the 24th. He
left again on the 26th for Caraccas.
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW "YORK, sth Sept.
No material change had taken place in the money market
during the past three days. The supply and demand were
about equalized, and the current rates were quoted 7 to 8 per
cent. for first-class commercial notes and call loans. In
exchange the business for the Pacific was very brisk, and the
supply of bills was equal to the demand. The closing rates
were :—Bills on London, 91 to 10 per cent. premium; Paris,
&c., f. 5.121, 60 days, and f. 5.081-, short sight ; Hamburgh, 36f
to 36-1.
The New York Shipping List, of September 5, says:—
September opens auspiciously as regards finance and trade.
The business community is strong in credit and resources,
and throughout the domains of commerce a growing activity
is apparent. Owing to the universal contraction of trade for
many months past, in connection with the diminution of im-
ports, amounting to upwards of thirty-seven million dollars
since Ist January, it is not very probable that there will be
any great or sudden unfavourable change in the money mar-
ket this fall, though temporary fluctuations in the rates are to
be expected as the volume of business increases and enterprise
receives a new impetus. The foreign trade of New York con-
tinues in a comparatively healthy condition. The total
exports for the eight months, exclusive of specie, is but
$2,381,553 less than for the corresponding period of last year ;
and the falling off in the specie exports is shown to be
$1,049,127. There can be no doubt now of abundant cereal
crops to increase the general wealth of the country, should
Europe need our surplus, of which there can be no reasonable
doubt.
CoxTorr.—The market during the past three days has been
characterised by the same inactivity and languor as noticed
for several weeks past, and the market closes tamely. The
telegraph advises a decline of ,tc. in the New Orleans market,
consequent upon the large receipts of the new staple, but the
effect of this reduction seems to have been neutralised by a
corresponding rise in freights. The sales for the week do not
probably exceed 6000 to 6000 bales.

In regard to the growing crop, Messrs. Talcott and Co., in
their circular of the o.th instant, state ;--" Our advico are more
favourable since our last, as the wet weather complained of in
Alabama has been succeeded by a warm dry spell. In the
Atlantic States it is stated that the plant is a week or ten days
later than last year, but thrifty and well fruited. From the
region tributary to New Orleans the accounts are very favour-
able, and our correspondents generally disposed to estimate
very largely. Although we are well aware that it is very dif-
ficult to approximate the probable yield at this period of the
season, yet, as showing the opinions now entertained of the
prospects of the crop by some well informed parties at New
Orleans, we annex an extract from our correspondent's letter
of the 22nd ult.:—` The news about the Cotton crop is favour-
able, although we occasionally hear of some complaint from
different sections. Upon the whole it is generally supposed
that the crop will be about 3,300,000 to 3,400,000 bales, which,
added to the remainder of last year's crop, will show the
largest supplies ever received.' "
BREADSTUFFS.—The flour market had been depressed
throughout, and prices given way 75c. to 871 c. per barrel since
the 28th ult. There had been some purchases for shipment
both to England and France at the reduced currency, but so
far not to an extent sufficient to give firmness to holders, who
still evince anxiety to sell. Wheat had declined 15c. to 20c.
per bushel, the supplies being still confined to imports from
southern ports. The prices of Indian corn were 2c. to 3c. per
bushel lower than on this day week, but there was still no
accumulation of stock.
PBOVISIOWS.—Pork was 12ic. firmer for mess, and 25c. to
371 c. for prime; the demand moderate, owing to extreme high
prices ruling, which were sustained solely by the reduced
supply and light arrivals. There was a decrease in the stock
during the month of 24,659 bbls. The market for beef was
firmly supported ; the stock was but 6,762 pkgs. on the Ist
instant, against 15,119 same time last month. Butter and
cheese continued in fair request.
SALT.—Liverpool was in better supply, with an active de-
mand, prices are well supported.
- -
_ - -
CoAL.—Liverpool, with light receipts, continued firm. 236
tons Blundell's sold, to arrive, at $8,75. _ _
, .
TRox.—Scotch pig, in view of the small supply and favour-
able accounts from abroad, continued to advance, and some
300 tons had changed hands at 835, cash, and $36,53 to $37,
6 mos. Bars were very firm, with sales of refined English at
$67,50, and common $62,50, 6 mos. Of scrap, which is scarce
and wanted, we notice 175 tons West India No. 1, at $37,121,
cash ; and 100 ditto extra City, $4O, 6 mos. English sheet was
firm at 31c. to 44c.
FREIGIITB.—There was an increased business, with an up-
ward tendency. Liverpool :—Cotton, 5-32 d. to 3-16 d.; flour,
per barrel, ls. 6d. ; rosin, per barrel, ls. 9d. to 2s. ; heavy
goods, cheese, &c., per ton, 15s. to 20s. ; grain, per bushel,

would prevent his Majesty from being present at the opening
of the Chambers.
HER MAJESTY has presented the Rev. Dr. Hall, chaplain to
the British Embassy at Paris, a diamond ring, as a mark of
approbation of the manner in which he twice officiated in her-
presence, at St. Cloud.
SANDON-HALL, in Staffordshire, the seat of the Earl of
Harrowby, which was burnt down about seven years ago, has
been rebuilt, and is so far completed that the noble earl and
his family occupied it, for the first time, on their return from
London on Thursday week. Its erection has occupied four
years.
MARSHAL RADETZKI last week feted his fiftieth anniver-
sary of his promotion to the grade of general. He is 89
years of age, and has served 71 years. In reply to an auto-
graph letter from the Emperor Francis Joseph, congratu-
lating him on the restoration of his health, the old general
has requested to be allowed to retire.
THE REV. GEORGE FARNCOMB WRIGHT, M.A., fellow of
Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, has been appointed to the
mastership in Shrewsbury School, vacant by the preferment
of the Rev. A. T. Paget to the rectory of Kirstead-cum-Lang-
hale, Norfolk. Mr. Wright graduated in 1852 as seventh
wrangler.

it is unnecessary to explain more fully.
THE BISHOP or LONDON preached again on Sunday week
at Erafrath, near Dusseldorf. He has derived so much benefit
from his stay at Dusseldorf both in his sight and in his gene-
ral health, that he will be able to proceed up the Rhine in the
course of a few days, making a tour into Switzerland before'
his return home.
VISIT OF THE KING OF SARDIICIA TO PARIS.—The arrival
of the King of Sardinia in Paris is announced for to-day, ex-
cepting some extraordinary events prevent His Majesty's
departure from Piedmont. No feastings or rejoicings will
take place during his stay in Paris, on account of the mourn-
ing for his Majesty's mother, wife, and brother. The King
comes to see the Exhibition and visit the Emperor, his ally ;
his suite will be very limited : his official residence will be at
the Chateau du Compeign and the Tuilleries, while in Paris.
There will be only one grand review at the Champ de Mars.
STABBING.—There were two cases of stabbing at the police-
court, on Saturday. Catherine Price, the wife of a dock
labourer, was charged with inflicting a serious wound on the
cheek of a widow named Elizabeth Johnson, They are
neighbours, and lived in Gore-street, Toxteth-park. On
Thursday morning the prisoner went into Johnson's house,
and they began to quarrel about a shirt which the latter had
missed. During the altercation the prisoner called the other
"an old liar," when the latter struck her. The prisoner, who
at the time was opening a cockle with a knife, rushed upon
the old woman, and inflicted a severe gash on her cheek.
She was removed in a fainting state to the Southern Hospital,
where the wound was dressed. Mr. Garland, who had at-
tended her, stated that when admitted she was suffering from
an incised wound on the left cheek, which had been caused
by some sharp instrument. She could not yet open her
mouth. The prisoner was remanded. In the second case,
Louis Petrie, seaman, belonging to the American ship Milton,
of New York, was charged with stabbing Bridget Calligan, a
girl of ill-repute. The latter stated that the prisoner was in
her house on Monday, about midnight, in a state of intoxica-
tion, and that, without saying anything to her, he suddenly
drew his knife from his sheath behind him, and aimed a blow
at her throat. She tried to elude the knife, which caught
her in the neck, producing a slight wound. She gave infor-
mation to the police, which led to the apprehension of the
prisoner. She had never seen him before. Mr. Sayer, of the
Northern Dispensary, stated that the prosecutrix was brought
in on Tuesday morning. She had a wound, two inches long
and three-quarters of an inch deep, cutting through the super-
ficial fibres of the muscles. She would not be able to move
her neck for a fortnight. The prisoner declared he was never
out of his ship on the night in question ; and on sending for
the shipkeeper, and a sailor, his statement was fully borne
out. It being evident that the girl had been mistaken in the
identity, he was discharged.
AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION.—The Gipsy Bride, Captain
Murphy, of the " Liverpool line," sailed from Liverpool for
Melbourne, yesterday, with 250 passengers, a full cargo of
valuable merchandise, and a ship letter bag. The Royal Mail
ship Red Jacket, of the " White Star" line went into the river
on Sunday, and will sail for Melbourne on Thursday, with the
mails for the Australian colonies. She will have nearly all her
berths full, and will carry about 300 passengers ; she has also
on board a large and valuable cargo of general merchandise.
The Monica, an extra packet of this line, will be dispatched for
Melbourne early in October. The mails of the 20th proximo
will be conveyed by the Mermaid, Captain Devey, which has
completed two very rapid passages to the antipodes. She was
to leave Melbourne early in July, and may be shortly expected.
The Indian Queen, Captain Jobson, belonging to the Black
Ball" line, went into the river on Saturday, and will sail in a
day or two for Melbourne, with a full cargo of general merchan-
dise and about 100 passengers. She will be succeeded on the
sth proximo by the Royal Mail ship Schomberg, Captain J. N.
Forbes, which will carry a full number of passengers and cargo.
Some novelties are introduced in the fittings of this celebrated
ship worthy of attention. Her 'tween decks are fitted up with
iron berths throughout, and have a very pretty and light
appearance. Her iron tanks are fitted to carry either water or
provisions, and, while they are able to bear any weight placed
upon them, they act as permanent ballast for the ship. The
fore-yard of the vessel is a hollow iron tube, made of -t-inch
plates, and the invention of which is claimed by Mr. John
Clare, jun. The Emigration Commissioners have advertised
for vessels to carry emigrants to Melbourne and Adelaide,
each to be ready for passengers between the Ist and 9th of
November, as may hereafter be determined. The Fiery Cross
is now loading east side of Prince's Dock, for Melbourne.
This ship attracts considerable attention; she is, without doubt,
the finest modelled vessel yet built at this port. Her poop
accommodations are very elegant and commodious. The Fiery
Cross takes neither intermediate or steerage passengers, and
is under engagements to sail on the sth October.
LANCASHIRE BURIAL BOARDS.--Returns were issued on
Friday of the fees determined upon by each of the Burial
Boards established under acts of the last three sessions, for
burials in the consecrated and unconsecrated ground respec-
tively, with the manner of their appropriation. St. Anthony's
Cemetery, Liverpool, has not, as yet, been opened, and no
scale of charges has yet been decided upon ; and Toxteth-park
Cemetery has but just been commenced. The corporation of
Warrington have only very recently been invested with the
powers of a Burial Board, and their cemetery is not yet con-
structed. At Bury the subject of fees has not yet been con-
sidered by the Burial Board, as the Vestry declined to vote
any money for the purposes of a cemetery ; and the Lancaster
Burial Board have not yet determined upon a table of fees, I
nor the manner of their appropriation. The Burial Board of
Preston, however, have adopted the following scale of fees,
which may serve as a guide in other cases :--The minister re-
ceives 2s. for reading the service, and 10s. 6d. extra if the per-
son buried has been brought from another parish ; £1 4s. for
the privilege of placing a stone over the grave, and £1 4s. extra
for a tomb : £4 for a single vault, and £lO for a double vault.
The clerk's fee is only 6d. The sexton receives 3s. 6d. for a
grave for an adult, and 2s. fid. for a child's grave; and is.
when called upon to remove and replace a stone. There is also
a fee of is 6d. for tolling the bell. Irrespective of the preced-
ing, the following charges are made by the Board :—For a
general grave, ls. 6d.; for a private grave in perpetuity, £1 ; I
for a single vault, £2 ; for a double vault, £4. These charges
are doubled in the case of persons not resident within the
township. The charge for the privilege of plitcing a stone
over a grave, we observe, in going through the returns, is un-
usually high, Li ls. being the highest in any other place in 1
England, wherein a burial board has been established, and
half that amount being a much more usual charge,

FALL OF SEBASTOPOL.
TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES.
WAR DEPARTMENT, Sept. 10.
Lord Panmure has received the following telegraphic
despatch from General Simpson, dated
CRIMEA, Sept. 10.
The casualties, I regret to say, are somewhat heavy.
No General Officer killed.
Names shall be sent as soon as possible.
A supplement of the Moniteur of Monday publishes the
following :
The Minister of War received to-day (Sept. 10), at 3 p.m.,
the following telegraphic despatch from General Pelissier :
Bne Nciox REDOUBT, Sept. 9, 3 a.m.
Karabelnaia and the south part of Sebastopol no longer
exist.
The enemy perceiving our solid occupation of the Malakhoff,
decided upon evacuating the place, after having destroyed and
blown up, by mines, nearly all the defences.
Having passed the night in the midst of my troops, I can
assure you that everything in the Karnabelnaia is blown up,
and from what I could see, the same must be the case in front
of our left line of attack.
___
This immense success does the greatest honour to our troops.
I will send you detailed account of our losses during the
day, which after so many obstinate combats, must be consi-
derable.
To-morrow I shall be enabled to form an estimate of the
results of this great day's work, a great portion of the honour
of which is due to Generals Bosquet and MacMahon.
Everything is quiet on the Tchernaya, and we are vigilant
there.
The Minister of War at Paris received, at 10 o'clock on
Monday morning, the following news :
CRIMEA, September 9, 8 p.m.
This morning I ascertained that the enemy has sunk his
steamers. Their work of destruction continued under the fire
of our shells. The explosion of mines successively and on
different points makes it our duty to defer our entrance into
the place, which presents the spectacle of an immense confla-
gration. Closely pressed by our fire, Prince Gortschakoff has
demanded an armistice to carry away the remainder of the
wounded near fort St. Paul. The bridge, as a precautionary
measure, has been broken down by his orders.
I am collecting the returns of our losses, and you shall have
them as soon as ready. All goes on well. We are vigilant on
the Tchernaya. - _ _
PARIS, l‘londay, 10 p.m.
A despatch from General Della Marmora announces that in
the night which followed the capture of the Malakhoff the
Russians retired, burning the town, destroying the buildings,
and sinking their last ships.
It was General Bosquet's corps d' arine's which captured
the Malakhoff.
The Moniteur of Tuesday announces that the Minister of
Marine has received the following telegraphic despatch from
Vice-Admiral Bruat
CRIMEA, Sept. 9, 10.15 a.m.
The assault upon the Malakhoff Tower was made yesterday
at noon, and later on the Great Redan and Central Bastion.
A gale from the north kept the ships at anchor.
The mortar-boats, to be enabled to fire, were obliged to
enter Streletzka Bay.
They fired 600 shells against the Quarantine Bastion and
Fort Alexander. The six English mortar-boats, also at anchor
in Streletzka Bay, fired about the same number of shells.
Last night violent explosions and vast conflagrations made
us suppose that the Russians were evacuating the town.
To-day we ascertained that the Russian vessels had been
sunk.
The bridge was covered with troops retreating to the north
side.
After eight o'clock the bridge was destroyed.
Only a few steamers remain in the port, anchored near Fort
Catherine.
I approached this morning the Quarantine batteries on
board the Brandon, and ascertained myself that they are now
evacuated.
They have just blown up.
Our soldiers have left their trenches and spread themselves
in isolated groups on the ramparts of the town, which appears
to be completely abandoned.
--- PARIS, Wednesday.
The Minister of War received to-day, the 12th of Sept., the
following telegraphic despatch from Gen. Pelissier :
CRIMEA, Sept 10, 11 p.m.
I inspected to-day Sebastopol and its lines of defence.
The mind cannot form an exact picture of our victory, the
full extent of which can only be understood by an inspection
of the place itself.
The multiplicity of the works of defence and the material
means applied thereto exceed by far anything hitherto seen in
the history of war.
The capture of the Afalakhoff, which compelled the enemy
to fly before our eagles, already three times victorious, has
placed in the hands of the allies an amount of materiel and
immense establishments, the importance of which it is not yet
possible to state exactly.
To-morrow the allied troops will occupy the Karabelnaia
and the town, and under their protection an Anglo-French
commission will be occupied with making out a return of the
materiel abandoned to us by the enemy.
The exultation of our soldiers is very great, and it is with
shouts of Vive l'Empereur .' that they celebrate their victory
in the camp.

COMMERCIAt and MONETARY NEWS.
MONDAY NIGHT.
THE Public Funds have been subject to fluctuations
during the week, but owing to the causes which have
operated being of a totally opposite character, the
actual change in value has not been very great. On
Tuesday the intelligence from the seat of war of the
fall of Sebastopol, by the evacuation of the Russian
army, led to an immediate rise, of which many availed
themselves the next day to realise ; and as there were
also large sales of Stock, said to have been by the Bank
of England, with the view of avoiding the necessity of
raising the rate of discount, the Funds declined, and
as on Thursday the Bank directors decided on an
advance from 4 to 41- per cent., the decline was per-
manent. On Friday the returns of the Bank of
England showed another decrease in the stock of
bullion to the extent £721,742, owing partly to de-
mands for export, accompanied also by small receipts.
We have, however, made some observations on this
subject in a leading article. Money for commercial
purposes has been more in demand, and bankers have
raised the rate of interest for deposits on call from 3-1-
to 33 per cent. The foreign exchanges have, however,
improved, and recent receipts of specie will no doubt
put a check to the decline.
With reference to the alteration in the Bank rate
of discount, the Times, in its money article, says :---

THE MONEY MARKET.
HER MAJESTY and fare Royal Family .are
their Highland retreat ,at Balmoral; London is 'de-
serted, except by Lord PANKURE, who has to remain
Minister in town !to attend to the concerns of
the war ; the Assizes are over ; and everywhere those
can are enjoying the -delights of marine or rural
retreats. Under such circumstances, when the ex-
citement of business has been superseded by the
quietude of rest and reereatiop,, it is difficult to excite
attention to any topics beyond those which may be
considered immediately pressiw. The war, however,
is still ;being carried on; and 'the interesting pro-
eeedinp connected with the ,e,apture of Sebastopol
have ,served in some degree to.gratify the thirst for
something new ; but as days elapse mahout receiving
any important particulars, it is found .necessary to dis-
cover another theme on which to create an excitement.
Under these circumstances, it is not .surprising that
monetary affairs have been brought under discussion,
and magnified into a matter of more consequence than
they would otherwise be entitled to, fft appears from
the returns, -Published every Friday in .the London
Gazette, that for .some few weeks there has been a
decrease in the .stock of bullion in the Bank.of Eng-
land, a circumstance which might have created very
little attention but for the publicity rendered compul-
sory by PEEL'S Act ,of 1.844. The Bank Directors
accordingly raised their minimum rate of discount
from 3 to 4 per cent, and Again, a week afterwards,
to 42 per cent. This has been eagerly seized -upon :as
a ground for apprehension
.as to monetary security,
when, in reality, there is nothing but the bare fact
upon which to raise any comment, the accompanying
circumstances conducing rather to inspire confidence.
If the stock of bullion has decreased, it remains at
more than fourteen millions, and there to a reserve of
unemployed notes of more than seven millions and a
half, with an active circulation of above twenty mil-
lions. The diminution may be easily accounted for
without the slightest cause for fear as to results. In-
stalments have had to be paid for three loans raised
for the purposes of the war : there have been but few
arrivals of specie lately in proportion to the quantity
known to be on the way, and the recent rise in several
important markets has necessarily created a demand
for money for the ordinary purposes of trade, as shown
by the increase of nearly a million under the head of
" other securities." On the other hand, there is
nothing in the state of commercial affairs to justify
any anxiety—for, notwithstanding a general augmen-
tation of prices, there has been a remarkable freedom
from hazardous speculation, and bankruptcies have
been almost confined to retail traders. Indeed, mer-
cantile affairs may be considered in a peculiarly healthy
state, and even the demands for the war have been
more than supplied by the receipts of specie. If some
sudden revulsion had occurred in one or more of our
principal markets, so that several large failures were

MILNERS' HOLDFAST AND FIRE-

Improved under the experienced and extensive Working of
MILNERS' QUADRUPLE PATENTS,
SEALED 1840, 1851, 1854, AND 1855.
The Strongest, Best, and Cheapest Safeguards in the world
against Fire, Robbery, or Violence. With Milners' 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.
meets (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 Milners' Phoenix 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.--

Henry Hulme ; Joseph R. Beck; James Johnson, Deputy Chair-
Iman of the Watch Committee; James Robertson, Ditto; J. J.
Greig, Head-Constable; Robert Clough, In-door Superintendent;
Benjamin Ride,Divisional-Superintendent ; Thomas Quick, Ditto;

Willox ; and Samuel Moiser."
MILNERS' PIICENIX (212°) SAFEWORKS, LIVERPOOL.
The moat extensive and complete in the world, employing from
two to three hundred bands, 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 155. per foot; Milners' First-class Strong
Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 4, at 205. 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?

LORD PALMERSTON AT MELBOURNE.
TIM arrival of Lord and Lady Palmerston at Melbourne
Hall, on Thursday afternoon, was the occasion of demon•
ttrative proceedings on the part of great numbers of the
inhabitants, who lined the road along which his Lordship
passed to the mansion.
On Friday Lord Palmerston received a deputation charged
with an address, congratulating his Lordship on the happy
coincidence that the visit of himself and Lady Palmerston to
the dwelling place of her Ladyship's ancestors should be
marked by an event which shed so much lustre on the admi-
nistration of which he was the head. After dwelling on the
glory and success which had crowned the efforts of Lord Pal-
merston and his colleagues, the address concluded with the
expression of wishes for the personal happiness and health of
his Lordship and Lady Palmerston.
In reply, his lordship said that having come there upon pri.
vate business, and for only one day's inter ,Tal from business of
a public and therefore more important nature, he was not pre-
pared for such a reception as that now given him. Having
uttered a few sentences in acknowledgment of the compliment
paid him, his lordship proceeded to speak on the subject of the
war.
We have (said his lordship) struck a heavy blow at an enemy
whose aggressive policy threatened the whole world, and par-
ticularly the interests of this country. We have sustained
great losses ; but it is a consolation to those who have lost
relatives and friends in this contest in support of liberty against
despotism, that their names will be enrolled in the annals
of fame, and will be associated with the imperishable glories
of their country. And great as our losses are, lamentable as
all feel them to be, we know that the losses of the enemy are
infinitely greater; and though the war has been undoubtedly
attended with losses and privations on our part, if we give cre-
dit to the information derived from various sources we have the
satisfaction of knowing that those losses and those privationsare
surpassed in magnitude by those against whom we are patrioti-
cally contending. Final success must attend our arms. Our se-
curity for that arises in the undaunted valour of our troops and
those of our allies. We have a security also in the good faith of
the Emperor of the French, who is with us heart and soul in
this contest. We have an additional security in the alliance of
the kingdom of Sardinia, and history reminds us that small
states have played an important stake in the world. We re-
member the part played by Holland, by Venice, by Genoa—
smaller states, territorially, than the kingdom of Sardinia.
Well, then, with this prospect before us—with the valour of
our troops in unison with the troops of the Emperor of France
—nations that have laid aside ancient antagonisms, and who
are now actuated by no other feelings but an honourable
rivalry as brothers in arms, fighting for a common cause,
bound together by the indissoluble ties of Friendship, and act-
ing in the truest spirit of good faith—and above and before
all, relying upon the justice of our cause, it is impossible to
believe that the war can be brought to any other conclusion than that which will secure to Europe safety against the fu-
ture aggressions of Russia—a peace that shall' not only be
honourable and satisfactory to the allies, but which shall re-
dound to the honour and interests of the country, and justify
the great sacrifices by which such a peace shall have
ve been at-
tained.
The speech was received very warmly by those to whom it
was addressed, and, on the conclusion of the proceedings, three
times three cheers were given for Lady Palmerston, who
bowed her acknowledgments.
BRITISH ASSOCIITION.—The twenty-fifth annual meeting
of the British Association for the Advancement of Science com-
menced on Wednesday, in Glasgow, being the second time the
association has met in that city, the former being in 1840.
The general meeting met in the Merchants'-hall, and amongst
those present were Prince Lucien Bonaparte, the Earl of
Harrowby, (who presided,) Count Firolich, (from Sweden) and
Sir R. J. Murchison. The report of the council was read; it
noticed the probability of various scientific societies being
located in London at the public expense, in Burlington-house,
Piccadilly. The report was received, and the various officers
appointed to the different sections. The treasurer's report
s
howed a balance of revenue on hand of £Bl7, and that the
property of the association was estimated at £t,002, and__ "-
augural liabilities at £647. At 5 o'clock the Lord Provost gag*"

TO GAS CONSUMERS.
THE PATENT GAS REGULATOR insures a
saving of 25 per Cent. upon former consumption, while at
the same time a more brilliant light is obtained, and the un-
pleasant effects upon respiration,. gilding, colours, &c., resulting
from the escape of unconsumed Gas, are, by a more perfect com-
bustion, avoided.
Gas is generally delivered from the Street Mains at a pressure
of l inches of water, often reaching to 3 inches. Experiments
have demonstrated that when of good quality it is most economi-
cally burnt at a pressure of four-tenths of an inch.
The Patent Regulator, when once adjusted, continues to furnish
Gas at one uniform pressure, unaltered by the constant fluctua-
tions of the street supply, and in its action is entirely independent
of the number of burners it supplies.
At the undermentioned Offices an Experimental-room is fitted
up to demonstrate the results as above stated. The Regulator has
been thoroughly and practically tested at the numerous Railway
Companies, large Establishments, Public Institutions, and Private
Mansions, to which we can with pleasure and satisfaction refer as
the best proof of its utility and value.
