rather of a conflicting character,. it appears an admitted fact
that the quantity of useable Fruit will not exceed that of last
season ; and, looking at the great disparity between the stock
on hand now, which is under 400 tons against 1,600 tons at
this time last year, we see just cause to apprehend a great
scarcity may be felt even to meet the demand up to the end of
the year, and as a natural consequence prices may be forced up
far beyond present rates ; so that the present appears a favour-
able time to make safe purchases. A complete stagnation
appears to prevail in Raisins generally, and particularly for
Black, which were in general demand a short time back for
the French market, and purchases may now be made much
below former rates. Valencias show rather a more healthy
appearance, although still in only retail demand : other
descriptions not inquired for. We have lately had a tolerable
supply of Lemons from Sicily, and which have met with a
steady demand at improving prices. Very few Oranges now
now coming in, and a scarceness prevails.
WooL.---We have no alteration to notice in this
market during the week ; the attention being drawn
towards our public sales which commence this day,
and at which about 6,000 bales, comprising East India,
Egyptian, &c., will be offered. The imports for the
week consist of 155 bales, Mediterranean; 368 bales,
Portugal ; 2 bales, United States ; 408 bales, Scotch ;
54 Irish ; and 10 coastwise ; total, 997 bales.
METALS.---There has been a very active demand for
Scotch Pig Iron at improved rates, the latest quota-
tions being 775. per ton for store warrants mixed
numbers f.o.b. at Glasgow. Manufactured Iron has
also been in good demand at a proportionate improve-
ment. Other Metals without alteration. The late
advance in Tin has been maintained.

WAVERTREE BOARD OF HEALTH.
THE monthly meeting of this board was held last night, in
the Public Offices; the Rev. W. Badnall occupying the chair.
There were likewise present Messrs. Halhead, Hill, Bradburn,
Clark, Gore, Chaffers, and Rishton.
The minutes of the previous meeting were read and ap-
proved of; after wEich the business of the meeting chiefly
consisted of the reading of communications from inhabitants
of the township, generally complaining of some matter or
other, the neglect of which occasioned inconvenience or detri-
ment to the complainants.
LIGHTING PIQUE-LINE.—A memorial was read from the
inhabitants of this district of the township, complaining that
although the attention of the board had several years ago
been called to the fact that no public lamps had been put up
in Pique-lane, or, as it was also called, Dryden-road, while the
Liverpool Gaslight Company's mains had been long laid down
in the lane, and craving that public lamps might be put up
before winter sets in.
In reference to this memorial, it was explained that, the
expediency of erecting lamps wherever the gas mains had
been laid down, and such lamps should be applied for, had
been long ago agreed to.
Mr. HALHEAD then moved, and Mr. CHAFFERS seconded
the motion, that lamps be put up in the quarter now applied
for.
Ma. PICTON'S SEAT AT TUE BOARD.—Mr. PICTON, at this
stage of the proceedings, entered the board-room, and ex-
plained that he had come in consequence of a note he had re-
ceived from the Law-clerk of the board, intimating that from
protracted absence from the meetings he had forfeited his seat
at the board. He said he did not know exactly how the
matter stood, but that be had not abstained voluntarily from
attending, he having for some time been prevented by pressing
business. Still he did not think he had been so long absent
as to forfeit his seat.
Mr. ATIEERTON, the Law-clerk, explained that the statute
declared any seat forfeited, the occupant of which had been
absent for three consecutive months. He also, by reference
to the minute-book, showed that Mr. Picton had not attended
any meeting for three and a half months.
PicioN then made his obeisance to the chairman, and
retired.
The CHAIRMAN expressed regret that the board should be
deprived of the valuable services of Mr. Picton, who had, he
said, proved himself one of the most useful of its members.
He suggested that some expression of this feeling should be
made by the board.
Mr. RrsiiToN said such a course would be altogether
irregular and a bad precedent. When a gentleman was
elected to fill any office, he was of course expected to dis-
charge its duties. The matter then dropped.
On .a representation from George Williams, one of the
lamp-lighters, his wages were raised from 12s. to 14s. per
'week.

THURSDAY.
The Royal Conical Flour Mill Bill was read a third time and
passed.—The Nuisances Removal and Diseases Prevention
Acts Consolidation and Amendment Bill was read a third time
and passed.—The Public-houses (Ireland) Bill, the Public
Health Act (1854) Continuance and Amendment Bill, and the
Diseases Prevention Bill were read a second time.
LIMITED LIABILITY BILL.—On the order being read for
going into committee, a smart debate arose upon a proposition
by Lord St. LEONARDS to refer it to a select committee, Lord
CAMPBELL, Lord GREY, Lord MONTEAGLE, and Lord REDES-
DALE all supporting the motion, which was resisted by Lord
GRANVILLE and Lord STANLEY of Alderley.—Upon a division
the motion of Lord St. Leonards was negatived by a majority of
28 to 11, and their lordships, in spite of further remonstrance,
went into committee upon the bill.—On clause 1, Lord MON-
TEAGLE moved an amendment to the effect that the capital of a
company established under the act should be not less than £lO,OOO
divided into shares of not less than £25 each.— After some
discussion the amendment was negatived by 18 to 9.—Earl
GREY proposed an amendment, to the effect that companies
should consist of not less than 25 shareholders, and the amend-
ment was adopted.—Upon clause 2, Earl GREY proposed to add
in line 35, after the word " liability," the words " after the
affairs of the company shall have been audited by some person
appointed by the Board of Trade, and a certificate from the
said board that the complete solvency of such company has
been established to the said auditor's satisfaction."—The
amendment was agreed to.—Upon clause 4, Lord CAMPBELL
proposed an amendment to the effect that all negotiable securi-
ties issued by companies with limited liability should have
that fact mentioned on them.—The amendment was agreed to.
—Another discussion took place on a motion to adjourn the
committee, which was defeated by 19 to 9.—After clause 8 had
been agreed to, Earl GREY moved to insert a clause providing
that if the directors of any company formed under the bill de-
clared and paid a dividend when the undertaking was insolvent,
they should be jointly and severally liable for the whole of the
debts of the company ; exemption, however, to be allowed to
any director who was proved to have resisted the declaration
of such dividend.—After a short conversation the clause was
agreed to.—Earl GREY next proposed a clause to prevent the
note-of-hand of any shareholder being received in payment for
stock of the company, which was also agreed to.—Lord
MONTEAGLE proposed a clause, providing that, whenever it
should appear that any company had lost or wasted three-
fourths of its subscribed capital, the business of the company
should forthwith cease, or only be continued for the purpose of
winding up the affairs of the company. This was also agreed
to, as were the remaining clauses up to 12, with verbal amend-
ments.—Clauses 13 and 14 were struck out of the bill, and
their lordships resumed.
The Appropriation Bill and the Exchequer Bill were read a
second time, and their lordships adjourned at one o'clock.

On the motion for the third reading of the Burials Bill,
Lord EBRINGTON, having called the attention of the house
to the inconvenience caused by the diversity of the arrange-
ments required by different Bishops as the condition of con-

viding that it should not be necessary for the burial board of any
parish to domore than prove that arequisite line of demarcation
had been made between the parts intended for the interment
of members of the Church and others, and that no proceedings
should be instituted against any minister of the Church on
account of his having officiated at the interment in such
ground after it had been approved by the Secretary of State,
and before its consecration.—This led to some discussion, and

The house went into committee on the Leases and Sales of
Settled Estates Bill, when clause 20 led to some discussion, it
being opposed by several members.—The SOLICITOR-GENERAL
said that, as to divide the committee in its present state (there
not being then forty members present) would only lead to an
adjournment, by which the other business on the paper would
be thrown over, it would be better to report progress.—The
motion to report progress was agreed to.
On the motion for going into committee on the Dispatch of
Business, Court of Chancery Bill, Mr. HADFIELD moved that
it be committed that day three months. The house divided,
when the numbers were—For the motion, 0 ; against it, 35—
majority, 35. [Considerable 'amusement was created by the
result of the division, Mr. Hadfield and a gentleman, who
acted with him as teller, being the only supporters of the mo-
tion, and they of course were not counted.l The house then
went into committee on the bill pro forma, and immediately
resumed. _
The order for the second reading of the Accidents on Rail-
ways Bill was discharged.
The house adjourned at a quarter before six o'clock.
THURSDAY.
The Speaker took the chair at noon.
New writs were ordered for Kidderminster, in the place of

dent of the Board of Trade ; for Kilmarnock burghs, in the
place of the Hon. E. P. Bouverie, who bad accepted the office
of President of the Poor Law Board, in the room of Mr.
Baines, resigned, and for Hertford, in the place of the Hon.
W. F. Cowper, who had accepted the office of President of the
General Board of Health.
The Charitable Trusts Bill, the Union of Contiguous
Benefices Bill, the Crime and Outrage (Ireland) Act Con-
tinuance Bill, and the School Grants Security for Applica-
tion Bill were read a third time and passed.
LEASES AND SALES OF SETTLED ESTATES BILL.—The
house went into committee on this bill Clauses Ito 19 were
agreed to. Clause 20, the object of which is to prevent Sir
Thomas Wilson availing himself of the bill, led to a long dis-
cussion, and eventually the bill was withdrawn.
The houSe went into committee on the Despatch of Busi-
ness, Court of Ch6icery Bill, and its provisions were dis-
cussed until four o'clock, when the house adjourned to six
'o'clock.
NEWSPAPERS FOR THE COLONIES.—Mr. THORNELY asked
the Secretary of the Treasury whether any steps had been
taken to remedy the inconvenience recently sustained with
regard to newspapers posted for the colonies and for foreign
countries.—Mr. WiLsox said that the Postmaster-General had
had under his consideration the numerous complaints which
had reached him on the subject, and that he had proposed cer-
tain modifications which it was intended to carry out, by a
letter from the Treasury, with a view of remedying those
complaints. By the act of the present session it was
thatneces-

tolabelt e cboelsoindieess.
The effect of that was to make an apparent charge of two-
pence upon all newspapers going to the colonies. The Post-
master-General had proposed—and his suggestion had been
acceded to by the Treasury--that newspapers going abroad
should not require the impressed stamp at all, but that a
single adhesive stamp should suffice, so that only a penny
would in future be charged upon newspapers to the colonies.
The impressed stamp, therefore, would be only applicable
hereafter to newspapers circulated at home, which it would
entitle to transmission and retransmission through the post.
It must be understood -that all newspapers going abroad or
to the colonies would
.require the Queen's head affixed,

Parliament will be prorogued to-day, by commission, at two
o'clock. Both houses will meet about half-past one o'clock.
The Post says Her Majesty will no doubt take the opPc,r_

DIOCESE OF CHESTER.
The Chancellor of the Diocese has appointed the Rev. Thos.
F. Redhead, Incumbent of St. Peter's, Rock Ferry, a Surro-
gate for granting probate of wills and marriage licenses.
VACANCY.—The rectory of St. Peter, in the city of Chester,
by resignation of the Rev. Frederick Ford. Patron, the Lord
Bishop of Chester.
THE Rev. Augustine Howie Bull has been nominated to the
perpetual curacy of the newly-consecrated church at Toft, in
the county of Chester, by Charlotte Leycester and Emma
Theodosia Leycester, the patrons for this turn.
THE Rev. John Kingsley has been licensed to the perpetual
curacy of the newly-consecrated church of St. Margaret, at
Dunham Massey, in the county of Chester, upon the nomina-
tion of the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, the patron.
THE Rev. Richard Oates has been licensed to the stipendiary
curacy of Christ Church, Everton, in the county of Lancaster,
upon the nomination of the Rev. William Henry Wright,
clerk, incumbent of the same church.
PEEFEEMENTS.—The Rev. Joseph Clark, clerk, has bee'
licensed to the perpetual curacy of St. Luke's Church, Great
Crosby, void by the death of the Rev. R. Walker, upon the
nomination of the Rev. Richard Rainshaw Rothwell, the
patron.
CONSECRATION—TOFT.—The new. church. of Saint John
the Evangelist, Toft, in the parish of Kuutsford, Cheshire,
erected in memory of the late Ralph Gerard Leycester, of
Toft Hall, Esq., by his widow and sisters, was consecrated
by the Bishop of Chester, on Tuesday last. The church,
although small, is a very beautiful specimen of ecclesiastical
architecture both internally and externally, and forms a very
striking object in the view from Toft Hall, the family man-
sion of the late Mr. Leycester. From its distance from the
Parish Church, it will be a great accommodation to the in-
habitants of the district which is intended to be assigned to
it. It contains sittings for 205 persons, 90 of which are alto-
gether free and unappropriated, but is capable of holding
many more persons. The founders of the church, Mrs. and
the Miss Leycester's, have provided a fund for its endowment
and repair. The patronage has been vested, under the
powers of the church building act, in Mrs. and the Miss
Leycester's alternately during their lives, the first turn being
in the Miss Leycester's. On the death of the survivor it will
be in the son-and-heir of the late Ralph Gerard Leycester,
now a minor.
THE churchwardens of Runcorn have, up to this date, suc-
ceeded in collecting £1,200 of the rate granted for paying the
debt of the church. They have also received from Daresbury
Chapelry £423; in all £1,623 towards the £2,250 required.
ALL SAINTS' DISTRICT, BLACKBIIIIN.-On Sunday, the
Rev. Dr. Rushton, the vicar, opened the station of the Bolton
Railway Company for divine service. The use of this building
has been obtained at a nominal rent, and has been well fitted
up for the purpose. An additional place of worship in this
populous neighbourhood has been long required.
THE London Gazette, of Friday, contains a notice that the
Queen has been pleased to constitute the island of Labuan and
its dependencies to be a bishop's see and diocese, to be called
the bishopric of Labuan, and to appoint the Rev. Francis
Thomas Macdougall, D.C.L., to be ordained and consecrated
bishop of the said see.
REFUSAL OF TIIE QUEEN'S LETTER.—The offertory plate
of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Roehampton, was found
to contain, on Sunday last, three one hundred pound notes,
destined respectively for the Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel, the Church Building Society, and the National So-
ciety for the Education of the Children of the Poor in the
principles of the Established Church. If wealthy churchmen
would generally adopt this method of testifying their senti-
ments, the three venerable societies would suffer but little
damage from the recent refusal of the Prime Minister to issue
the customary Queen's letter.
WIGAN Ciinicn BAZAAR.—A bazaar, to liquidate the debt
of £750 incurred for the rebuilding of the parish church of
All Saints, was opened on Wednesday in the public hall,
King-street. This bazaar was got up by a committee of
ladies, consisting of the Lady Sarah Lindsay, the Lady
Frances Lindsay, Mrs. Gunning, Mrs. Coombs, Mrs. Lord,
Mrs. Whitehead, Mrs. Peace, Mrs. Byrom, Mrs. Fisher, Mrs.
Fergie, and Miss Hilton. The following ladies also promptly
offered their services to preside at the various stalls :—The
Lady Lindsay, Mrs. Gunning, Mrs. Woodcock, Mrs. Peace,
and Mrs. Fisher. In addition to the numerous articles con-
tributed for sale, the Hon. Colin Lindsay received the fol-
lowing donations in aid of the fund : —The Lord Bishop of
Chester, £10; Lord Ellesmere, £5; Colonel the Hon. James
Lindsay, £5; Joseph Acton, Esq., £5; the Hon. T. P. Leigh,
£5 ; J. Eckersley, Esq., £10; A. Heron, Esq., £5 ; J. Ingram,
Esq., £5; W. Marsden, Esq., £5. At the entrance, under
the gallery, and upon either side of the door, were stalls
amply provided with refreshments of all descriptions, pre-
sented to the committee by the Lord Crawford, the Rev, the
Rector, J. Woodcock, Esq., H. Woodcock, Esq., Mrs. Lord,
R. Preston, Esq., of Rock Farm, Ince ; Mr. Sumner of
Haigh ; Messrs. Byrom and Young, Mr. William Byrom,
Mr. Rothwell, &c., &c. The hall was divided into six
stalls, ranging three on each side, each stall being
about twenty feet in length. These were tastefully
hung with blue and white drapery, and the flags of
different nations were judiciously suspended in various-
parts of the room. Along the centre of the hall were placed
a double range of seats, for the accommodation of the visitors,
covered with crimson cloth. The gallery over the entrance
was occupied as an orchestra, and suspended from the front of
it were the national flags of England and France. At the
further end of the hall a rising platform was erected, covered
with crimson cloth, and arranged upon it, tier above tier, was
a choice collection of plants and flowers. Many of them were
valuable, some exceedingly rare. Twelve of the largest and
most valuable of these were sent by the Mayor, Mr. Thomas
Tayler, nine being for ornament and three for sale. A great
number have also been sent by the Lord Crawford, and many
of the others were collected by Mrs. Peace. On Thursday
morning there was received a valuable addition to this collec-
tion from Mr. Ingram, of the firm of Wood and Ingram, at
Huntingdon. Over this platform was suspended a beautiful
oil painting in gilt frame, representing " The Holy Family."
This was presented by James Taylor, Esq., and is valued at
£4O. The band of the Lancashire Hussars, under the leader-
ship of Mr. Charles Robins, was present, by the kind permis-
sion of Sir R. Gerard, Bart. A party of Hand Bell Ringers
also attended. On Wednesday morning the attendance was
numerous, in the evening the room became quite full. A great
number of articles were sold. In the evening numerous raffles
were got up, and many articles were thus disposed of. The
pecuniary result was highly satisfactory, for when the bazaar
closed shortly after nine o'clock, it was found that, indepen-
dently of tickets sold elsewhere, the amount of money taken
in the room was £289 2s. 111 d. The proceeds on Thursday
were g 141.135. 41d., making a total for the two days of £430
18s. 4d.— Wigan Examiner.
Mr. BAKES, the President of the Poor-law Board, has re-
signed that office, on account of the state of his health. In an
address to his constituents he expresses a hope that he may be
able, when unconnected with office, to devote himself with in-
creased zeal and assiduity to his duties as their representative
in the House of Commons.
Sir GEORGE BROWN has refused an offer of eleven hundred
guineas for the gray hunter which carried him at the Alma.
The horse is quite recovered from the bullet-riddling
.he re-
ceived, and is at present at Coates's repository at Leamington,
in which town his gallant owner has been located since his
return from the East.
THE LATE BANK FAILITRE.—In an action tried at Croydon,
on Thursday, to recevor £54, the amount of a cheque drawn,
on Strahan, Paul, and Co., the defendant, who was the drawer
obtained a verdict, because the judge ruled that a person re-
ceiving a cheque was bound to pay it into the banker's the day
after receiving it.
ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM ASSOCIATION.—A meeting was
held on Wednesday : it was not numerously attended. The re-
port was read. It approved of the appointment of clerks by ex-
W, a
dreadful amination, and satisfaction was expressed with the appointment
of Mr. Wines and Sir W. Molesworth. Mr. Rowland Hill

N.._WSARSAPARILLA.—This is one of the most extraordinary
and valuable,Medicinea- in the world. Its. superiority over other
preparations of like character, made in this f;ountry, arises from
the mode of manufacture, ,and the advantage of obtaining and
working the root in„its green and fresh state. The root, when
brought to this country, .is dry, vapid, and almost tasteless, its
virtues and juices bevitig: all evaporated; while•it often becomes
mouldy, musty, and partially decayed, so that it is quite unfit for
use. LtkIeL.ISH TESTIMONY.
We give a few of the. many communicationewe have received
sisice we baveheeniw.F.ngland, from those who have experienced
the great benefits of using' this celebrated- medicine. They must
have some weight inconvincing the public of its great value.

Gentlemen,—l, have much pleasure in testifying to the nume-
rous thanks I lave -received from various persons who have taken
Oki Dr. Jacob Tovmsend's Sarsaparilla,. many of whom will be
happy to give you testimonials should you require them. I am
doubly pleased to he able to speak to the good effects I have seen
myself. produced: by the Sarsaparilla; fort I must confess that,
although I was not . prejudicial, I was rather sceptical as to its
virtues, which twould not have believed it possessed, had I not
seen it.--I am, .your obedient servant, JOHN JA MIESON.

The same may be said of these as in the cure of' the severer

a gross, masculine surface, will do well to use these Medicines, if
they wish clear,delicate, and transparent complexions. Nothing
can exceed their> eflicac.y in this respect.

Very.shortly afterwards, he discovered in one of the long panes
of plate.glass, in the inner folding doors, a small perforation'
perfectly round, and perhaps 1-20th of an inch in diameter.
The foldingdoors are placed within a recess porch, and are
reached brtwo ascents of four -stepz4each, at a distance from
the street line of the building of some five yards. The small
size of the. orifice leaves little room to doubt that it was caused
by lightning- There is no crack or.starring of the pane to be
seen ; but azertain symmetrical.splitting off of thin lamb= of
glass, widening from the outer to the inner surface, so that
while the-only disturbance of the outer surface is a hole barely
large enough to pass a slender knitting-needle through, the in-
ner surfaee.ia .hollowed out like a bowl, in a somewhat circular
form, to ablaut the size of a florin, but-in form so geometrical
as to resemble a spider's web.—Mituthester Guardian.
ExcrnslQN or THE HISTORIC SOQIETY.—On Thursday
the members,cf the Historic Society of Lancashire and Che-
shire made an excursion to Shrewsbury, .where the Archmolo-
gical Institutes& Great Britain and Ireland is holding its an-
nual congress, -so that a greater number of attractions than
ordinary were offered. The party left ,Birkenhead at half-
past eight, and; having received some accessions at Chester,
reached Shrewsbury about half-past ten. They were met on
the platform ,by Lord Talbot de Malahide, president of the
institute ; Edward Hawkins, Esq., treaarxer ; and Albert
Way, Esq., sooretary. They then proceeded to the Shire
Hall, where, for their convenience, two sections were going
on with morning meetings. The members the Liverpool
and Chester societies were decorated with ttheir respective
badges, and these secured them a ready gntrance to the
museum and the meetings of the institute for the day.
At the close of the sectional meetings, -.the company
assembled in the NisiPxius Court, Lord Talbot de Malahide
in the chair, when Dr. Hume, in the name of.the Historic
Society, promised them a hearty welcome if they met any-
where within the two coinages; and the Rev. M. Massie, of
Chester, warmly urged the propriety of meeting at Chester
next year. The president expressed the great gee.tification
,which his visit to Liverpool had afforded him in s'entember
;last, especially his examination of Mr. Mayer's interesting
.collection. In the afternoonthe whole party proceeded on an
.examination of the principal ehurches, including St. 3,lary's
and the Abbey Church. A public dinner took place in the
Music-hall in the evening, at .a:hich the societies from Liver-
pool and Chester were again honourably mentioned ; and, at
a later hour, Dr. Kennedy, of the Grammar School, gave an
elegant soirie, at which the temporary museum of the insti-
tute was lighted up for the occasion. A special boat was :in
waiting at Monk's Ferry, to conve,y.the members of the His-
toric Society over, after the last train ; so that a day of rich
and varied interest was made as long f.s possible.

Tuesday, Alderman Langsdale in the chair. The other mem-

the average of the corresponding week of the last nine years
( including 1849, the year of the cholera). 222 deaths were
registered. Of these, 6.2 were of zymotic diseases, and included.
39 from diarrhoea (nine less than the average—principally chil-
dren two years of age and under). The temperature was
highest on Monday and Tuesday, the 30th and 31st, when the
thermometer reached to 72 deg., and lowest on Wednesday, the

occurred on Sunday, the 29th ult., 29.98 inches ; the lowest
on Saturday, the 4th instant, 29 56 inches :—mean for the
week, 29.76. A communication was read from Mr. Mason,
secretary of the dock committee, acknowledging the receipt of
the resolution of the health committee on the subject of the
infringement of the roadway at the south-west corner of the
Custom-house. The letter stated that on examination of the
dock committee's books there did not appear to be any record
of the agreement referred to in the resolution.—A communi-
cation was read from Mr. Lea, superintendent of drainage
and sewerage, resigning his situation, consequent upon his
appointment as surveyor to the Wallasey local board of health. •
—A communication addressed to Mr. Newlands, the borough
engineer, by Dr. Sutherland, one of the sanitary commis-
sioners sent out to the Crimea, was read. It stated that
Messrs. Aynsley, Freeny, and Wilson, (three members of the
sanitary staff in the Crimea who accompanied Mr. Newlands
from this town to the seat of war), were now on their road to
London, from Constantinople. Dr. Sutherland expressed the
entire satisfaction be felt at the manner in which those officers
performed their cluties.—Mr. M`Gowen reported that there
had been convictions on all the smoke informations brought
before the magistrates on Wednesday,

Derby (a juvenile club), and the Bootle C. C. The score was
as follows :—Bootle, Ist innings, 67; second 45 : total, 112.
Derby, Ist innings, 115.
BEST.—We are glad to perceive that the town council
of Liverpool has been wise enough to appoint Mr. Best as
organist to St. George's Hall, at a sufficient salary. At the
meeting when this appointment was ratified, it was stated
that the organ had cost upwards of 10,000.—Athenecum.
MESSRS. PILRINGTON AND WILSON presented, on Friday

seaman-like manner in which they navigated her during her
recent voyages to and from. Australia.
GARSTON BOARD or HEALTH.—The monthly meeting was
held on Friday, at the Aigburth Hotel, Mr. J. G. Morris in
the chair. Present—Messrs. Moss, J. Morris, W. Plitt,
Charles Chaloner, and W. Chidson. The proceedings of the
Works and Health Committee were read, embracing a recom-
mendation that Yorkshire curb-stones be used in the town-
ship ; that Victoria-street and Irwin-street be paved ; and that
the footways be flagged with Knowsley stone. The proceed-
ings were confirmed. The minutes of the Finance and Bye-
law Committee were next read, recommending a general dis-
trict rate of ls. 2d. in the pound, which was estimated to pro-
duce £1,250. The proceedings were confirmed without dis-
cussion.—A communication was read from Mr. Gotta, dated
the 30th of July, in reference to the delay in completing the
survey of the roads and lands in the district of Garston ; and
asking whether he should submit the result of his survey to
the General Board.—A letter was read from Mr. M'lntyre, in
answer to the Surveyor, expressing his willingness to lay
drain pipes along the Riversdale-road, if Mr. Chaloner and
Mr. Moon did their share of the work. The letter was re-
ferred to the Works Committee, and the board adjourned.
AN ILL-irATED PAIR.—On Thursday last, a case came
before the magistrates at the Police-court, strongly demon-
strative of the impropriety of ill-assorted marriages. In the
case referred to, Petrick Boyd, lately a master-porter, and now
the keeper of 'a shop for the sale of emigrants' stores, charged
his wife, a buirom woman, of about thirty years old, with an
assault upon him. Both parties are Irish e and the husband,
who is 'what is denominated a " character," is Upwards of 74,
and his general mode of stating his complaint, although emi-
nently.provocative of laughter, was frequently such as to give
rise to 'feelings the reverse of respectful, and equally at
variance with pity and with mirth. Pointing significantly at
his wife, he prefaced his complaint by 'saying,‘ My wife and
1 -can't agree, your worship ; I'm getting too ould for her,
and I dare not go home. I'm Afraid she'll stick me with a
;knife. I have not been home for the linet six days." The wife
appeared with a black eye, and, after some interrogatories
from the bench, the husband aekemiledged that he had in-
filkted the discreditable stain. It appeared that the ill-
:judging couple had been married for about eleven years,
during the whole of which they had lived a " cat and dog"
life ; and after hearing the case, 'which turned out to be a
very trumpery one, chiefly made rep of crimination and recri-
mination, the magistrate disniissed the charge. After this had
been done, the husband declaring that he could not live with
his wife, the magistrate advised him to make her an allowance.
On this the hoary sinner andeimpleton, who is undereteeirto
be in tolerable worldly circumstances, magnanimously offered
to allow his wife •a shilling a week ! Ultimately both',Use
complainant and hisarrifeavere ordered out of the court.
Dome COMMITTEE. —The weekly meeting was held on
Thursday, MraCharles kTurner in the chain—From ;the mi-
nutes of the last committee meeting it appeared the solicitor
had been directed to: take the necessary steps for consolidating
the dock acts, under Abe directions of the special-sob-com-
mittee.—Pram the proceedings of the marine sub-committee,
it appeared that Mr. Chapman, the lessee of the refreshment-
rooms onlhe.landingestage, complained of the supply of water
to his rooms, and suggested that tanks should -be placed at
each end of the stage, to remedy the inconvenience of which
he complained. ,The report of the surveyor on'this subject
recommended that a tank capable of containing.l,ooo gallons
should lee placed en the pier-head, from whichtherefreshment
rooms eseild be supplied. The estimated cost of the tank was
£25. The suggestion of the surveyor was orderelto be carried
out: —The abarbour-master's sub-committee -.recommended
that the surveyors be directed to procure stages, planks,
&e., to be'used in the large lock of the' Husaisson Dock,
when usedeaso graving dock. The sub-committee also re-
commended that the salary of Mr. Thomas-Fronton, master of
the Canning. Dock, be raised from £l5O-tesial7o per annum,
the maximum sum allowed to maeters,of second-class docks.
*The increase was agreed to.—Mr. Broteelebank brought
'under the notice of the committee theeprapriety of having
*hears onseeme portion of the dock quays-for the masting of
,ships.-411r. Hartley promised to ,bringethe subject before
'the ahaebene-master's committee.—With reference to the
letter of 'Messrs. Cowie and Co., tomplaining that the south-
eaasircerner of the Prince's Dock had been appropriated to the
.vesselsovrated by Messrs. Magee and Levirgston, forming the
'",lsiverpool" line of Australian packets, the committee re-
-solved` that a return be made by the 'harbour-masters of the
-sailing df vessels by Messrs. Pilkington and Wilson, and
James' Baines and Co., from the 'berths appropriated to them
in the •Coburg Dock, and that it be recommended that no
permanent berths be granted in -theiThence's Dock, and that
'the permission granted to Messrs. Magee and Levingston be
,diseontinued after the departure of their vessel now loading
in r the berth. The recommendation was confirmed.—
The -superintendent of the weighing materials re-
,perted the operations of his .department for the year
ending-June, 1855. The recelptsaveree,23o less than in the pre-
, vious 'year ; the expenditurebadbeen £540 less. The receipts
for the year ending June, 1854, were £1,396, and the expendi-
sture £1,427. The receipts for 1855 were £1165, the expenditure
ealaiSaA C.2s. id. The whole of the ,works of the year had been
done by the servants of the comniittee, excepting 20 strong
' triangular legs, supplied by Messrs: Chapman and Callis. The
aysholeof the weighing materials werein an efficient state of re-
-pair. There was an improvement-both in that respect and in
the expenditure. The necessary instructions were then given
to the stib-cominittee of works to enable the north wall to be
..connieted.—The Chairman said there was another subject he
:had to bring before the committee. He received a note from
thestown-clerk on Friday, requesting that a deputation from
the Dock Committee should meet the special sub-committeeof
the Town Council on the subject ofthe future management of
the Birkenhead Docks. Of -course there was no opportunity of
,-calling the committee together,.: and he had requested Mr.
Shand, the deputy-chairman, .and Mr. Rankin, to accompany
with Mr. North, as a deputation to see the sub-committee
of the Council. This was a note:of what passed : It was re-
solved that Mr. Weightman and :',Mr. Hartley be requested
to.go to Birkenhead at the earliest opportunity, to report
avehist portions of the undertaking were complete, and
adapted for the accommodation of shipping, to be man-
e aged by the dock estate. That a report be obtained
of the various officers and servants employed, with their
,duties and salaries. The'Dock Committee to examine
the whole undertaking, and to report with plans as to
--the mode of making it most available for the purposes of
'.thsacammerce of the port of Liverpool.—Mr. John Hartley had
been over with Mr. Weightmane and he believed he looked
over the works.—A report from Sloman, the secretary,
.-on the subject, was then read.—TheChairman said it seemed
the mat mode of managing this property was to allow the
similar departments to come under•the respective departments
,of the Dock Committee, and probably they would authorise
-the:repairs, &c., to go to the Committee of Works, under the
-surveyor, as was the case with works,cn this side the river;
then the dock-masters, the dock-getemen, berthing, lighting
.and cleaning the sheds, &c., to be referred to the Harbour
Masters' Committee. The receipts, payments, &c., the mode
,of-collecting the tonnage dues, and the mode of payment to
the treasurer, the payment of salaries, &c., to go to the Fi-
manoc-Sub-committee, of course opening separate accounts; and

Tee TE COLLECTOR OF Cusroaes.—On Friday after-
noon,.a meeting was held in the CountilChamber, for the pur-
pose of-presenting to Elias Arnaud, Esq., an address from the
various ,commercial associations of Liverpool, expressive of
their respect for him on his retirement from the office of col-
lector ef. customs at this port. About ,
.fifty gentlemen as-
sembled on the occasion, among whom were Joseph Brooks
Yates, Thomas Brocklebank, M. W: Collett, C. Holland,
Harold Littledale, J. B. Lloyd, J. H. Turner, T. Edwards
Moss, G. W. Moss, T. B. Barclay, John Torr, S. R. Graves,
R Shell, &e„ &e. The mayor and Mr. Arnaud, on entering
the room, were received with tokens of marked respect, and
his worship :haring taken the chair, Mr. Charles Holland, as
vice-chairman ,of the Chamber of Commerce, in the absence
of Mr. Heath, its chairman, requested the mayor to present
the address, which he handed to his worship. The mayor then
in feeling and appropriate terms expressed the great pleasure
he felt in having been made the instrument of communicating
to Mr. Arnaud those sentiments of respect and esteem which
were entertained by the commercial community of Liverpool
towards one who had for so long a period discharged the
arduous duties of a most responsible office ; discharged them
too, in such .a manner, AS, while it .secured the approbation
and confidence of the government, had also gained for him
the warm approvalandlrespect of those merchants and others
with whom he had been brought into contact, often under
circumstances of diffieulty, This he had accomplished by
maintaining a strict integrity of purpose and action in all his
dealings, so balancing the exercise of a power almost discre-
tionary as to give just cause .of offence to none. In such a
view of the, case, the present tribute of esteem and regard
could not but prove a welceme, as he was sure a deserved one.
His worship then read the address, which set forth in strong,
but well-chosen terms, the high appreciation entertained by
the mercantile community of Liverpool for the impartial and
upright conduct displayed by Mr. Arnaud, during the
long period of thirty-two years, which he had filled
the important post of Collector of Customs at the port
of Liverpool. It acknowledged his general courtesy in
the discharge of those duties which devolved on him, and
thaded him for the prompt and efficacious assistance which
he at all times rendered to even the humblest applicant under
circumstances of difficulty, and concluded by assuring him
that the town would ever entertain a lively remembrance of
the name of " Arnaud," as a memento of faithful service to
the revenue, with enlightened regard to the interests of the
fair trader, It likewise expressed a hope that he would be long
spared to enjoy that honourable retirement which his long and
faithful services had entitled him to. The address, which,
engrossed on vellum, was signed by Edward Heath, president,
and Charles Holland, vice-president, of the Chamber of Com-
merce ; J.Bmmley-Moore, chairman, and C.Saunders, deputy-
chairman, of the Brazilian Association ; Chas. Turner, chair-
man, and R. C. Crosbie, deputy-chairman, of the East India
and China Association ; Maxwell Hislop, president, and Thos.
Seller, vice-president, of the American Chamber of Com-
merce : Samuel James Arnold, chairman, and Edward Grey,
vice-chairman, of the General Brokers' Association ; Joseph
Hubbatk, chairman, and Halsall Seger, jun., deputy-chairman,
of the Association of the Liverpool Corn Trade ; Isaac B.
Cooke, president, and Thomas B. Blaekburne, vice-president,
of the Cotton Brokers' Association ; William Mann, chair-
man, and Samuel R. Graves, vice-chairman, of the Shipowners'
Association ; F. Shand, chairman, and T. Bough, deputy-chair-
man, of the Westjudia Association ; R. W. Preston, chair-
man, and W. Preston, vice chairman, of the Wine and Spirit
Association ; Thomas B. Horsfall, chairman, and Thomas Har-
rison, deputy-chairman, of the African Alsociation; Robert
Lamont, chairman, and William McElroy, deputy-chairman, of
the Steamship Association. At the conclusion of the address
Mr. Arnaud made a tasteful and feeling reply, in which he
reviewed the intercourse he had had for so long a period and
with such gratifying results. • He thanked them cordially for
so highly gratifying an acknowledgment of his services, This
terminated the proceedings, and the meeting separated,

LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S PATRIOTISM.
THE speech of Lord JOHN RUSSELL in the House
of Commons, on Tuesday, when he made a convulsive
effort to wriggle himself once more into notice as a
public man, has excited the ire of our contemporaries
of almost every phase of political opinion. The
Radicals have discovered, to their mortification, that
they have grievously mistaken their whilome idol, and
that, so far from his being a statesman of profound
sagacity, he has displayed the peevishness of a spoiled
child, and tried to damage the Ministry in which he
had lost all hope of taking a part ; while the leading
journal charitably concludes that he is labouring under
a kind of hallucination, something nearly allied to
insanity. It would hardly, indeed, be considered the
act of a sane man to take the opportunity of the
session being about to expire in order to indulge in
a series of platitudes, and to make observations which,
if they were entitled to the slightest weight, would
damage the cause he has professed to espouse. The
rejection of his peculiar notions about the conditions
of peace might certainly rankle in his bosom, because
the exposure made him appear so extremely ridiculous ;
but it would scarcely mend his position to tell the
House of Commons that the Turkish Ambassador,
who was a very intelligent individual, agreed with him
on the subject. In the first place, it was not true;
and, if it were, it would not mend the matter, unless
we are prepared to give Turkish intelligence the pre-
eminence over that of civilised Europe, which would
be a somewhat new phase in modern statesmanship.
As for his forebodings about the difficulties of the war,
and the awful responsibility incurred by persevering
in it, such remarks could only have emanated from
one in the interest of Russia ; but, as we cannot
believe his lordship to have sunk so low as to be acces-
. sible to Russian gold, we can only believe that ,he has
r suffered from that peculiar fascifiation which is said to
be characteristic of Russian diplomacy. Like the
harmless bird under the gaze of the basilisk, he has
been charmed at Vienna, and cannot in England dispel
. the illusion. But the most extraordinary part of his
speech was his 'allusion to the affairs of Italy, and his
well-feigned horror at the tyrannical despotism prac-
' tised in States professing the Romish religion. It
must be a return of one of those fits of ultra-Protes-
tantism which have sometimes seized him, such as
when, like the boy who wrote " No Popery" on the
door and then ran away, he wrote the famous Durham
letter, and afterwards shrunk from his own doing in
the milk-and-water scheme called the Ecclesiastical
Titles Bill. However true his statements that Pro-
testants in some Italian States suffer grievously from
religious persecution, and that the Bishop of Rome is
only maintained in his authority by the presence of
French and Austrian troops, calling attention to the
subject at this critical period could not have the
slightest effect for good, while it might tend to
embarrass our foreign relations, when it is more than
ever necessary that attention should be concentrated
on the prosecution of the war. If his object were to
make a speech to be talked about at a time when he
was afraid of being politically extinguished, there is
no doubt he has been to some extent successful ; but
if he fondly thought to create out of it political capital,
or to recover any portion of that public confidence
which he has forfeited, he has wofully deceived
himself. He has sunk so low that all his old friends
have turned their backs on him; even the Radicals
are foremost in crying him down ; nor could he find
an apologist, unless it were ayuongst that shred of
faction known as the Peace party.
There is nothing, after all, surpejsing in this. It
is now about a quarter of a century ,since the time
when, by the over-heating of the political cauldron,
the scum was thrown to the surface, and L,lrd JOHN
RusszLL, being foremost in raising the cry oig The

to take part in the turmoil. Not content with the HECATE'S
' broth he has thus compounded, he proceeds in an equally
friendly and candid spirit to animadvert on our foreign rela-
tions of every sort. Quarrels with our hollow and insecure
support of Turkey, declaring that the ambassador of the
SUBLIME PORTE was satisfied with the proposals which he,
good easy man, approved of first, and then denounced, but
now approves again. He taunts his countrymen. and his
quondam colleagues with their pusillanimity in permitting
the French occupancy of Rome, without which he tell us the
POPE would be dismissed from the Papal States, but ,omits to
show what benefit we should receive in return for breaking with
our new and vigorous ally the EMPEROR of the FRENCH. In
short, from the beginning to the end of his miserable diatribe,
the text is "sour grapes, sour grapes! You have repudiated me.
I hate you, and will gall you." Probably in no case—certainly
in none during the present session— has Lord PALMERSTON
appeared to such advantage as he did on Tuesday night, when,
with well-assumed magnanimity, and well-counterfeited for-
bearance, he affected to perceive that there were some grounds
for the invective of his late loving friend and excellent co-
adjutor. "It is natural," said the PREMIER-With the most
cool and cutting sarcasm —" that these great questions should
occupy his (Lord Jam. RUSSELL'S) attention now when he
has more time to devote his attention to them." "It must,
indeed," continued he, "be a grave reason which can induce
such a man utterly to change his opinions—to declare that
war, to which he had himself been a party from the com-
mencement, unnecessary, unjust, and unwarrantable—and to
set before the country all the imaginary disasters with which
his fancy can furnish his speech ; magnifying at the same
time our dangers, and exaggerating the forces of the
enemy." The display of Tuesday, although in some
degree prepared for it by scenes of a similar nature
previously enacted, took Parliament and the country
by surprise. When charges of spite were brought against
the extraordinary revelations and criminations made against
his colleagues by Lord Joux RUSSEti, still some few clung to
the traditions associated with his name, and refused to credit
the accusations. Now no one requires to seek for a motive,
and as few consider it worth while to inquire fora palliation of
his conduct. That stands revealed in all its natural hicle-as-
ness, claiming no explanation, requiring none; and refusing to
be extenuated. When his Lordship quailed before' Mr. ROII-
BUCK'S motion for inquiry, and by the poltroonery of his
desertion still further embarrassed those colleagues- whom he
quitted, every one considered he had reached the lowest depth
of degradation to which a public man could sink; his volun-
tary act of Tuesday showed that supposition to be premature.
For the sake of the national character, it is to be hoped his
Lordship will be left in undisputed possession of the". bad
' eminence" he has thus achieved, and that henceforth his name
and character will be alike forgotten. Something like a fore-
, shadowing of this withering oblivion might be gathered from
the apathetic silence and contemptuous indifference
which his harangue was listened to on Tuesday last. Towards
the conclusion of last Session,. it may be- remembered that he
treated the House to an extraordinary display of his powers
as a histrione, on the occasion of withdrawing the new Reform
Bill, with the introduction of which he so-pompously amused
the House. On that occasion his tears met sympathy—his
deliberations obtained credit, at least so far.- His exhibition
of the " Ercles vein," on Tuesday,- excited no' renArk. He
was listened to with that dogged indifference. which, plainly
declared "let him say what he pleases; and- be done with it ;
contradiction he shall not receive—reply he shall:have- nane."
From these- jarrings and disputes it is- a relief to escape on
almost any terms; and few events- afford more- tempting
material than, is-to be found, in• the contemplated visit of our
gracious Sovereign to the court-of her augustally the Emperor
of the FRENCH,. This is an event' avowedly of more signifi-
cance than a mere interchange of courtly greetings and per-
sonal civilities. Four centuries anda half have rolled over
both countries since a crowned English monarch was an in--
mate-of the-French- metropolis ;: and on that, as-on some pre-
vious occasions,. it was the result of no friendlyintercourse.,
The weekroc its-successor, will record- the first visit -
paid by an English- to a French sovereign in the-capital of:
France-, in the annals of the two nations; and in this instance--
it marks- an. era in• European history which mast': not and,.
cannot be forgotten., It is in celebration of the union now
existing between the two . nations, - and calling,. forth ,their-"
combined energies- to battle; in the cause of freedom and.
civilisation, against tyranny- and barbarism. This -Royal visit
will reoeiveits -highest value -in .the supplementary-pledge. it
gives of similarity of feeling and identity of policy existing:
between the two governments—of unity of purpose and
generous rivalry between the-two countries. In this result
the intelligent politician will: recognise the importance of
acting. upon principle instead ,of expediency n. matters- of'
state ;. the philanthropist will i see in it the moral beauty of
nations, like- individuals, idaei-asbefore them ror gAUct--

The French., preparations to da fitting.. honoilr:, to so. great
an occasion are worthy of their.. character. for courtesy,.
while the personal attentions-of the sovereig,mand the people-
are such as to raise the warmest feelings of gratitude in every:
British bosom. The event will. be ;duly honoured by pomps--. -
and pageantry; hut far beyond. the value of such reremonial
will be the-practical demonstration it will afford of the. utter,
inefficieney-of . Russian intrigue,. of whatever hue or, forrn,An.
its attempts to sever that alliance between France and
land, whioh now, almost for- the first. firm-- it their history,_
cements them in defence of the liberties of Europe. The visit
is the crowning act to an. •iblerellange of national esteem and:
confidence; and as such it. seems to be regarded on both sues,
of the channel.
Among the numerous rumours begotten of the present 3a-
settled stated public opinion,. as.that has been shown by the
leading politicians both in: France and England, is one to the
effect that Austria somewhat repents ,her of the more than
equivocal conduct she has displayed in her recent, diplomacy,
and that she now evinces a strong desire to avoid the
rupture of those relations with the western powers whicla.hut
lately she seemed so careless about. It is now confidently
stated that she has given the cabinets of London, and
Paris distinct assurance that she still ,hPles herself bond by.
thostipuhitions contained in, the treaty:of the 2nd Deeotabei;
that she still regards herself as the- ally of Frew* and
England ; and is stit prepared, at some future day, (koav near
the millennium no one knows,) to co-operate with:, them in
hostile operations against Russia. The rumour circulates,
widely here, without producing any effect beyonct_that of
,ex-,
Ring watchfulness and jealousy on the part of- the;people
whs look upon the report as of equivocal, if not of absolutely
sinister omen, recalling to their memories the preerestination
which, in deference, to Austrian policy, occasioned us such,
disasters last year. In, this light the report hasbeen regarded
by all parties ; Ane/.,even the assurance by Lord Paeatnseas.
of his hope that Austria will yet be found fighting by our side;
and his confident declaration that she will nut, under any cir-
cumstances, loin the enerv, fell upon listless ears. She is
looked on by all as a drag apoti the motions of the allies.; her
friendship is regarded rather as a source of weakness ..than a
means of. power ; even the sharp practitionere of the money
market fail to see in. the report referred to a means of Ini-
provinatheir positiena; it failed, utterly failed, toproduee any
effect an the value of üblic securities._
If non-effective for good, the renewed expression,of Austrian
sympathy has not been equally effeetless on popular opinion;
nor- quite so trivial in its operagon on the unpopularity of
Ministers. In Landon, right or wrong, there is no room for
ejeestioning that a strong feeling exists in favour of resusci4.
tating the nationality of Poland. This feeling has been long
a popular and dominant one among the. political spouter• of
the Metropolis ; and certain, hints thrown out, or at all events
so interpreted by them, to the effect that Lord PALMEXSION
was not unfriendly towards an upraising of the Polish nation
excited warm satisfaction through an extensive circle of those
politicians. Circumstances, however, have occurred to turn
this satisfaction into jealousy and dislike of Lord Pekralenszoie
and the Government. A meeting, called for the purpose of
giving encouragement to a Polish movement as one of
the surest moans of striking a home-blow at RusaTian
power, was to have been presided over by Sir DE LACY
Everts. The day and hour of the meeting arrived,
when it was suddenly announced that, as the gallant
general was prevented by indisposition from occupying
the chair, the meeting must be postponed. The whole was
immediately denounced as a ministerial ruse, and the credit of
devising the manoeuvre, whether he deserved it or not, was
instantly placed to the credit of Lord PALMERSTON, in his
account with public opinion. This alone might have been
little ; but immediately coincident with it transpired the
rumour of the revived Austrian alliance. Another meeting,
for the same purpose as that which had been deferred in so
inopportune a way and time, was held in St. Martin's Hall on
Wednesday evening, the chair on this occasion being occupied
by the Earl of HARRINGTON. Upwards of two thousand
persons mustered on the occasion. The Noble Chairman, in
a speech displaying great knowledge of the subject, and
breathing no lack of enthusiasm, denounced the aggressive
policy of Russia, strongly urged the claims of Poland to a
place in European polity, declaring that justice and policy
alike demanded the restoration of her robbed nationality.
Lord EBEINGTON followed, and moved a resolution to
the effect that it was highly expedient to restore
Poland as a separate and independent state. This was
a signal for great and vehement uproar. The reso-
lution, however, was pat by his Lordship, and enforced upon
the attention of the meeting in au address of considerable
length and cogency. The resolution was seconded by Sir
ROBERT PEEL, who, in a really cleverly adapted speech, urged

THE WAR.
DESPATCH FROM GENERAL SIMPSON.
The Gazette contains a despatch from General Simpson
dated 31st July.
Notwithstanding the rocky nature of the ground and light-
ness of the nights, the works were steadily though slowly
advanced in the direction of the Redan.
An agreeable change had taken place in the weather ; heavy
showers of rain had occasionally fallen.
Several reconnaissances had been made from the Valley of
Baidar towards Ozenbash, Aitodor, and through Phoros Pass
towards Allupka—the enemy nowhere appearing in any force;
but the narrowness of the mountain road, with the exception
of the Woronzow, makes it unnecessary for them to alter their
concentrated position on the heights of Mackenzie and the
Plateau of the Belbeck.
Health of the troops continued satisfactory.
Casualties from 27th to 29th July, inclusive .—Killed, 1
sergeant and 11 rank and file. Wounded, Lieut. A. Goren,
19th, slightly; Captain L. Thornton, 44th, slightly; Major O.
F. Campbell, 40th, slightly; Captain N. Steevens, 88th,
slightly; Assistant-Surgeon E. Lundy, 79th, slightly; 2 sere.
geants, and 10G rank and file.
Prince Gortschakoff telegraphs on the 9th There is
nothing new. The fire of the enemy is weak.!'
The Times' Paris correspondent writes :—" A private letter
from St. Petersburg mentions that great depression prevails
among all classes in that city, owing to the duration of the
war, which completely paralyses all branches of commerce and
industry. This depression has gained even the leading per-
sonages of the old Russian party, hitherto so warlike, but who
are now beginning to despond. Nearly all labour is suspended
in tlie manufacturing quarters, in consequence of the want of
primary materials, which no longer arrive from abroad, and
also from the want of hands—all being employed in the defence
of the empire. The produce of the soil has no longer a market
abroad, and in the interior business is at a stand still, and
articles of the most indispensable kind have attained an exor-
bitant price. Coffee, sugar, and salt are now luxuries hardly
to be seen, except on the sacrifice of money imposed by the
present circumstances; and the number of Bayards who will
be ruined by the war is beyond all idea."

is on the eve of bringing. out a remedy. A large and
comprehensive scheme of reform and retrenchment has
`been proposed by the• Great Western Company, which
vsvas laid before the London- and NorthLWestern Board
-on Saturday last. This, it is said, if agreed.to, will
bring about an immense saving in the expenses of
( these companies, and , restore eto them , some of -their
prosperity of former ,days. -We believe the plan does
away with all competition—divides the country into
'dietricts, leavingeachfoone management ---and descends
even into the minutest details connected with the expen-
diture of each. This step was quite necessary to restore
oonfidence. Atthe settlement now-1n progress,stockis

Corrox.---During the early part of ,the week the
market, was very quiet, and being freely supplied there
was rather a tendency to give way in prices owing to
the heavy feeling at Manchester and the uncertainty
which prevailed as to the prospects of the harvest.
Since Thurslay, however, there has been considerable
improvement, and prices have advanced fully ffd. per
lb, with a confident tone. The sales of the week-up
to Friday amounted to 38,740 bales., .of which 3,9§0
were taken on
.speculation, and 3,250 for export.
leaving 31,590 for the trade. TO-DAY the .advices by
the Canada were received, showing more firmness on
;the other side, which had a corresponding effect here.
The .sales reached 0,000 bales, including 6,000 for
speculation and export, and the market closed firmly.

READ THIS,
Extract from the circ!dar of the London and North-western Tea
Company, dated May Ist, 1833.
"Our advices from China continue to be very discouraging;
and while the Chinese exports of tea have not failed in quantity,
they have sadly deteriorated in quality.
"Fine teas were scarce last year, and this year they are yet
more so.
"It must occur to every observing person, that where a country
is so convulsed with revolutionary struggles, (arming operations
must be greatly impeded.
"Now, tea is a plant that requires the most careful attention,
both in its growth and its curing. Upon its delicate treatment
depends the delicacy of its flavour.
"Consequently, since the insurrection in China has assumed so
formidable an aspect, fine teas have gradually decreased in quan-
tity, and increased in value.
"The early arrivals were the best, and from the character of
more recent ones, we must expect the bulk of this year's supply
to consist of inferior classes, badly cured, and in bad condition
which will be sold in the market as • all faults.' ,
"Much of the tea imported this year will not be worth more
than from 6d. to Sd. per lb. in the market.
"Consumers or lovers of good tea should be particular, there-
fore, in buying of respectable houses, who have secured large
parcels of the first shipments."
-WEVERN TEA COMPANY.
READ THAT,
Extract from Mr. Robert Roberts's circular, of Royal Bank
Buildings.
"Owing to the entire absence of speculative operations in the
market, concurrently with an increase in the imports, and a
marked improvement in the quality of good medium tea, which
has become the more observable as the season has advanced, we
are enabled to call the attention of families to the article which
can now be furnished at 3s. 4d. per lb.
Merchants will witness that succeeding imports and the pre

OLD POSTOF
• "Although the duty upon tea was raised 3d. per lb. in the
month of April this year—still, in consequence of a lane .stock of
tea having been pressed on the market, which affords a wider
scope for the selection of suitable qualities, we are in a position to
supply families upon usually favourable terms
" The Eyects of Speculation in Tea hare been lately no less
conspicuous than disastrous:—Notwithstanding the clearest prac-
tical evidence, which has been furnished season after season, that
England, as well as every other country, can be abundantly sup-
plied with tea from China, of every quality, and in any quantity,
the spirit of reckless and inordinate speculation has continued as
rife as ever, until arrested this year by ruinous losses.—This foolish
propensity having been laid prostrate by the dire consequences
which it has brought upon itsi•lf, we may now anticipate for some
time a healthier tone in the market, and we have every confidence
that the change resulting from this will enable us to give every
advantage to our extended connection of consumers, which con-
tinued inflexible adherence to qualify is calculated to secure."

F. Redhead, Incumbent of St. Peter's, Rock Ferry, a Surro-
gate for granting probate of wills and marriage licenses.
VACANCY.—The rectory of St. Peter, in the city of Chester,
by resignation of the Rev. Frederick Ford. Patron, the Lord
Bishop of Chester.
THE Rev. Augustine Howie Bull has been nominated to the
perpetual curacy of the newly-consecrated church at Toft, in
the county of Chester, by Charlotte Leycester and Emma
Theodosia Leycester, the patrons for this turn.
THE Rev. John Kingsley has been licensed to the perpetual
curacy of the newly-consecrated church of St. Margaret, at
Dunham Massey, in the county of Chester, upon the nomina-
tion of the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, the patron.

licensed to the perpetual curacy of St. Luke's Church, Great

CONSECRATION—Torr.—The new church of Saint John
the Evangelist, Toft, in the parish of Knutsford, Cheshire,
erected in memory of the late Balph Gerard Leycester, of
Toft Hall, Esq., by his widow and sisters, was consecrated
by the Bishop of Chester, on Tuesday last. The church,
although small, is a very beautiful specimen of ecclesiastical
architecture both internally and externally, and forms a very
striking object. in the view from Toft Hall, the family man-
sion of the late Mr. Leycester. From its distance from the
Parish Church, it will be a great accommodation to the in-
habitants of the district which is intended to be assigned. to
it. It contains sittings for 205 persons, 90 of which are alto-
gether free and unappropriated, but is capable of holding
many more persons. The founders of the church, Mrs. and
the Miss Leycester's, have provided a fund for its endowment
and repair. The patronage has been vested, under the
powers of the church building act, in Mrs. and the Miss
Leycester's alternately during their lives, the first turn being
in the Miss Leycester's. On the death of the survivor it will
be in the son-and-heir of the late Ralph Gerard Leycester,
now a minor.
THE churchwardens of' Runcorn have, up to this date, suc-
ceeded in collecting £1,200 of the rate granted for paying the
debt of the church. They have also received from Daresbury

Rev. Dr. Rushton, the vicar, opened the station of the Bolton
Railway Company for divine service. The use of this building
has been obtained at a nominal rent, and has been well fitted
up for the purpose. An additional place of worship in this
populous neighbourhood has been long required.
THE London Gazette, of Friday, contains a notice that the
Queen has been pleased to constitute the island of Labuan and
its dependencies to be a bishop's see and diocese, to be called
the bishopric of Labuan, and to appoint the Rev. Francis
Thomas Macdougall, D.C.L., to be ordained and consecrated
bishop of the said see.
REFUSAL OF THE QUEEN'S LETTEIL—The offertory plate
of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Roehampton, was found
to contain, on Sunday last, three one hundred pound notes,
destined respectively for the Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel, the Church Building Society, and the National So-
ciety for the Education of the Children of the Poor in the
principles of the Established Church. If wealthy churchmen
would generally adopt this method of testifying their senti-
ments, the three venerable societies would suffer but little
damage from the recent refusal of the Prime Minister to issue
the customary Queen's letter.
WIGAN CIIIIECIr BAZAAR.--A bazaar, to liquidate the debt
of £750 incurred for the rebuilding of the parish church of
All Saints, was opened on Wednesday in the public hall,
King-street. This bazaar was got up by a committee of
ladies, consisting of the Lady Sarah Lindsay, the Lady
Frances Lindsay, Mrs. Gunning, Mrs. Coombs, Mrs. Lord,
Mrs. Whitehead, Mrs. Peace, Mrs. Byrom, Mrs. Fisher, Mrs.
Fergie, and Miss Hilton. The following ladies also promptly
offered their services to preside at the various stalls :—The
Lady Lindsay, Mrs. Gunning, Mrs. Woodcock, Mrs. Peace,
and Mrs. Fisher. In addition to the nnmerous articles con-
tributed for sale, the Hon. Colin Lindsay received the fol-
lowinc, donations in aid of the fund : —The Lord Bishop of
Chester,' £10; Lord Ellesmere, £5; Colonel the Hon. James
Lindsay, £5; Joseph Acton, Esq., 1:5 ; the Hon. T. P. Leigh,
£5 ; J. Eckersley, Esq., £10; A. Heron, Esq., £5 ; J. Ingram,
Esq., £5; W. Marsden, Esq., £5. At the entrance, under
the gallery, and upon either side of the door, were stalls
amply provided with refreshments of all descriptions, pre-
sented to the committee by the Lord Crawford, the Rev. the
Rector, J. Woodcock, Esq., H. Woodcock, Esq., Mrs. Lord,
R. Preston, Esq., of Rock Farm, Ince ; Mr. Sumner of
Haigh ; Messrs. Byrom and Young, Mr. William Byrom,
Mr. Bothwell, &c., &c. _ The hall was divided into six
stalls, ranging three on each side, each stall being
about twenty feet in length. These were tastefully
hung witk blue and white drapery, and the flags of
different nations were judiciously suspended in various
parts of the room. Along the centre of the hall were placed
a double range of seats, for the accommodation of the visitors,
covered with crimson cloth. The gallery over the entrance
was occupied as an orchestra, and suspended from the front of
it were the national flags of England and France. At the
further end of the hall a rising platform was erected, covered
with crimson cloth, and arranged upon it, tier above tier, was
a choice collection of plants and flowers. Many of them were
valuable, some exceedingly rare. Twelve of the largest and
most valuable of these were sent by the Mayor, Mr. Thomas
Tayler, nine being for ornament and three for sale. A great
number have also been sent by the Lord Crawford, and many
of the others were collected by Mrs. Peace. On Thursday
morning there was received a valuable addition to this collec-
tion from Mr. Ingram, of the firm of Wood and Ingram, at
Huntingdon. Over this platform was suspended a beautiful
oil painting in gilt frame, representing "The Holy Family."
This was presented by James Taylor, Esq., and is valued at
£4O. The band of the Lancashire Hussars, under the leader-
ship of Mr. Charles Robins, was present, by the kind permis-
sion of Sir R. Gerard, Bart. A party of Hand Bell Ringers
also attended. On Wednesday morning the attendance was
numerous, in the evening the room became quite full. A great
number of articles were sold. In the evening numerous raffles
were got up, and many articles were thus disposed of. The
pecuniary result was highly satisfactory, for when the bazaar

THE LATE BANE FAILIIRE.—In an action tried at Croydon,
on Thursday, to recevor £54, the amount of a cheque drawn,
on Strahan, Paul, and CO., the defendant, who was the drawer
obtained a verdict, because the judge ruled that a person re-
ceiving a cheque was bound to pay it into the banker's the day
after receiving it.
ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM ASSOCIATION.—A meeting was
held on Wednesday : it WAS not numerously attended. The re-
port was read. It approved of the appointment of clerks by ex-
amination, and satisfaction was expressed with the appointment
of Mr. Willes and Sir W. Molesworth. Mr. Rowland Hill
was recommended for the Postmaster-Generalship.

IVERPOOL DOCKS.—Provisions of New Act
of Parliament.
The Dock Trustees think it right to intimate to the Commer-
cial Public that the New Dock Act has come into operation, and
contains the following additional provisions with reference to
general management.
Imported goods left on the Dock Quays longer than 48 hours
after landing, and goods for Export or other purposes remaining
on the Quays so as to cause obstruction, may now (as was before
the case with respect to Timber) be removed and warehoused by
the Trustees, and can be restored to their owners only on the pay-
ment of expenses, and in case of default there is a power of sale
for recovering such expenses. This additional remedy is, more-
over, not to affect the former law as respects penalties.
All vessels are now required to keep such a quantity of cargo
or ballast on board as to enable them to be forthwith removed in
safety, in case of accident, or when required for despatch of
business. Penalty .eSC.
The Harbour and Dock Masters have now also the power of
directing the removal of vessels in a Dock, or from one Dock to
another, and their position, loading and discharging therein,
and in case of neglect may themselvesremove the same, charging
the owners with the expenses.
Vessels on which any tonnage or other dues may be owing,
and vessels damaging Dock works, may now be detained until
dues paid, or damages satisfied.
Under former Acts the Shipowner had a lien for freight on
goods discharged into the Dock Warehouses, in the same manner
as if they had remained in the ship, but doubts have been enter-
tained whether this privilege extended to any other his lawful
claims of lien, such as for salvage, jettison, and in cases of dis-
puted rights of property, &c. This doubt is now removed, to
the considerable benefit of Shipowners.
The Harbour and Dock Masters are now protected in the exe-
cution of their duty, by the imposition of a penalty of .:elO on all
persons obstructing or impeding them, or disobeying their lawful
orders, or using abusive or offensive language.
Additional powers have been given for facilitating the collection
of Dock Dues, and preventing evasion. The 60th and 125th Sec-
tions of the Customs Act of 1853, providing for the delivery to the
Collector within fourteen days next after the discharge inwards,
and the clearance outwards, of all vessels at Liverpool, correct
lists or manifests (in the former case), and transcripts of mani-
fests (in the latter case), comprising full particulars of all free
goods imported or exported, are now repealed as respects the
Customs, and re-enacted in the Dock Act, with the addition of
being extended to all goods, whether dutiable or free. It will he
necessary, therefore, to take notice, that from and after this day
all such lists, &c., are to be deposited, not at the Custom-house,
as heretofore, but at the Dock Office, and it is requested that they
may be so deposited at the "Check Office," on the ground floor
of that building, where they are now examined by clerks expressly
appointed to such duty. The penalty (.e2O) for not duly deliver-
ing such lists, &c., is also made to attach, not, as before, to the
wilful evasion only of such dues, but to any neglect or omission to
pay them, and may be enforced as well against principals in houses
of business as their clerks or servants, and the magistrate on the
hearing of any complaint is empowered to call for the production
of cargo books, bills of lading, or other documents relating to the
cargo of any ship mentioned in such complaint.—By order of the
Dock Committee, DANIEL MASON, Secretary.
Dock Office, August 2, 1855.

THE WAR.
THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL.
Under date of the 25th, the correspondent of the
Daily _Yews says :---
There was a heavy fire all night from the batteries, and
about midnight the enemy made a sortie against the ambus-
cades and advanced trenches of the French on the-Malakhoff-
hill. The moon had been shining brightly, and about five
minutes after it had set, and there was general obscurity, the
Russians sallied out. The French were on the alert, and must
have perceived the enemy advancing, for the first notice in
the English attack of the sortie was the French bugles
sounding the alarm. They were immediately followed by the
usual sharp cry of the Russians as they rushed forward to
attack, mixed with the sound of their bugles and shouts of
officers. A very heavy fire of musketry followed, and all the
batteries opened with terrific effect. The Russian steamers
were very active in throwing shells over into the French
works. It is said that the new

Malakhoff hills, along which it might be presumed troops would
advance towards our own works, but the enemy exhibited no
stir. g•••.•INMI
Another correspondent of the same paper, writes as follows,
on July 31:—
The firing during the last few days has been on our side far
more lively than it had been for some time ; this increased
firing has, however, a defensive rather than an offensive
character. The Russians, seeing our works daily approach
closer to theirs, are trying by their single gun practice to
annoy us. The orders have accordingly been given to return
the fire from our batteries whenever it becomes too annoying.
Once already this was tried before, and it moderated some-
what the ardour of the Russian gunners. This is the second
trial, which I hope will be not less suecessful in insuring us a
little respite, for, somehow or other, the less we fire the better
is the Russian gun practice, and vice versa".
But no firing of the Russians, be it good or bad, slight or
heavy, is able to impede the progress of the works. The sur-
face of the ground in the neighbourhood of the Malakhoff
works and the Redan is presenting every day a more checkered
appearance. It is one mass of trenches, traverses, rifle pits,
and batteries—a perfect maze, so that it requires a strongly
developed organ of locality, or else many days of trench duties,
to find one's way. The railway is perhaps the best test of the
gigantic activity which is prevailing ; numbers of mortars and
large quantities of ammunition come up daily by it, and van-
ish again silently, to be replaced next day by others. It is as
if the trenches were an unfathomable abyss, snch an incredible
mass of mortars, guns, shells, and shot do they seem to swal-
low up.

THURSDAY,
The Royal Conical Flour Mill Bill was read a third time and
passed.—The Nuisances Removal and Diseases Prevention
Acts Consolidation and Amendment Bill was read a third time
and passed.—The Public-houses (Ireland) Bill, the Public
Health Act (1854) Continuance and Amendment Bill, and the
Diseases Prevention Bill were read a second time.
LIMITED LIABILITY BILL.—On the order being read for
going into committee, a smart debate arose upon a proposition
by Lord St. LEONARDS to refer it to a select committee, Lord
CAMPBELL, Lord GREY, Lord MONTEAGLE, and Lord REDES-
DALE all supporting the motion, which was resisted by Lord
GRANVILLE and Lord STANLEY of Alderley.—Upon a division
the motion of Lord St. Leonards was negatived by a majority of
28 to 11, and their lordships, in spite of further remonstrance,
went into committee upon the bill.— On clause 1, Lord MON-
TEAGLE moved an amendment to the effect that the capital of a
company establishedunder the act should be not less than £lO,OOO
divided into shares of not less than £25 each.— After some
discussion the amendment was negatived by 18 to 9.—Earl
GREY proposed an amendment, to the effect that companies
should consist of not less than 25 shareholders, and the amend- '
meat was adopted.—Upon clause 2, Earl GREY proposed to add
in line 35, after the word "liability," the words "after the
affairs of the company shall have been audited by some person
appointed by the Board of Trade, and a certificate from the
said board that the complete solvency of such company has
been established to the said auditor's satisfaction."—The
amendment was agreed to.—Upon clause 4, Lord CAMPBELL
proposed an amendment to the effect that all negotiable securi-
ties issued by companies with limited liability should have
that fact mentioned on them.—The amendment was agreed to.
—Another discussion took place on a motion to adjourn the
committee, which was defeated by 19 to 9.—After clause 8 had
been agreed to, Earl GREY moved to insert a clause providing
that if the directors of any company formed under the bill de-
clared and paid a dividend when the undertaking was insolvent,
they should be jointly and severally liable for the whole of the
debts of the company ; exemption, however, to be allowed to
any director who was proved to have resisted the declaration
of such dividend.—After a short conversation the clause was
agreed to.—Earl GREY next proposed a clause to prevent the
note-of-hand of any shareholder being received in payment for
stock of the company, which was also agreed to.—Lord
MONTEAGLE proposed a clause, providing that, whenever it
should appear that any company had lost or wasted three-
fourths of its subscribed capital, the business of the company
should forthwith cease, or only be continued for the purpose of
winding up the affairs of the company. This was also agreed
to, as were the remaining clauses up to 12, with verbal amend-
ments.—Clauses 13 and 14 were struck out of the bill, and
their lordships resumed.
The Appropriation Bill and the Exchequer Bill were read a
second time, and their lordships adjourned at one o'clock.
FRIDAY.
PRISONERS OF WAR IN RUSSIA.—The Earl of MALMES-
BURY called attention to a statement in Blackwood's Maga-
zine, respecting the treatment of prisoners of war in Russia ;
and said it was the duty of Her Majesty's government to as-
certain the truth of it.
The Public Health (No. 2) Bill was read a second time.
The Public-houses (Ireland) Bill, the Public Health Act
(1854) Continuance Amendment Bill, and the Diseases Pre-
vention Bill passed through committee.
The Lunatic Asylums (Ireland) Advances Bill, and the
Navigation Works (Ireland) Bill, were read a third time and
passed. _ _
The Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill passed through
committee.
EXCHEQUER BILLS (7,000,000) BILL,
On the motion, by Earl GRANVILLE, for going into com-
mittee on this bill, Lord MONTEAGLE took occasion to discuss
thefi

r its money,
—Lords MALMEEBTJRY, GRANVILLE, and CLA.RENDON spoke
upon the Turkish Loan, maintaining the good faith of France ;
but Lord GREY condemned the nature of the contract for
that loan, as likely to lead to misunderstanding with both
France and Turkey, and censured in some detail the profligate
expenditure in all branches of the public service connected
with the war. A time of reaction would come, the interest
on all the money thus wantonly spent would have to be paid,
and not only would there be the same discontent as had fol-
lowed the last war, but the emigration which had made so
much progress of late years would afford a strong temptation
to all who could leave the country to seek one less burdened
by taxation.—The bill then passed through committee.
The Militia Pay Bill also passed through committee.
LIMITED LIABILITY BILL.—On the question that the
report of the committee on this bill be received, a discussion
took place ; several lords reiterating their previous arguments
against the measure.—Lord CAMPBELL proposed a clause to
allow costs against shareholders when the company had no
assets against which execution could be levied.—The clause
was agreed to.—The report was then agreed to.—Earl GRAN-
VILLE said, the third reading had been fixed for Monday, and,
if any peer preferred it, that agreement should be adhered to ;
but it would be convenient, if there were no objection, to take
the third reading to-morrow.—Lord CAMPBELL understood
they must meet, at all events, to-morrow, and saw no objection
to taking the third reading of the bill then instead of on Mon-
day.—Lord REDESDALE did not object, but wished to be
understood as protesting to the very last that sufficient time
had not been allowed for the consideration of this measure.—
The third reading was then fixed for Saturday.
The Commons' amendments to the Dwellings for Labouring
Classes Bill were agreed to, and
Their lordships adjourned at 20 minutes past 9 o'clock.
SATURDAY.
The house met at noon.
The Commons' amendments to
the Charititileinistsliii were—agreedltT.—The Commons'
amendments to the Union of Contiguous Benefices Bill
were agreed to, with the exception of two which were
rejected.—The Inverness Bridge Bill was read a third time
and passed.—The Commons' amendments to the Criminal
Justice bill were agreed to.—The Public-houses (Ireland)
Bill, Public Health Act (1854) Continuance and Amendment
Bill, and the Diseases Prevention Bill were read a third time
and passed.
LIMITED LIABILITY.—This bill was read a third time,
after some remarks by Lord LYTTLETON, the Marquis
of LANSDOWNE, Lord REDESDALE, and Lord CAMPBELL.—
Lord STANLEY of Alderley then moved the insertion of a
clause for auditing the accounts of companies formed under
the bill, in accordance with a pretty general opinion which
had been expressed by their lordships, though he still enter-
tained the doubt he had already expressed, that it was a
matter of extreme difficulty. The clause he proposed was to
the effect that, in the case of any company formed under this
bill obtaining limited liability, and being subject to the pro-
visions of the Joint-Stock Companies Registration Act, where
there was only one artditor, he should be appointed with the
approval of the Board of Trade; that where there were two or
more auditors, one at lext should be appointed with the ap-
proval of ,the Board of grade ; and where there ..as no
auditor, the. Board of Trade should have power to appoint one
temselves, as was now the practice under the Joint-Stock
Companies Act.—The clause was agreed to, as was also another
clause proposed by the Lord CHANCELLOR, to the effect that
those companies should be subjected to the provisions of the
Winding-up-Act.—The bill, in its amended form, was then
passed amidst cheers. _
The Commons' amendments on the Burials Bill were agreed
to; and at a few minutes past two their lordships adjourned
until Monday.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
TUESDAY.
The speaker took the chair at noon.
The Exchequer Bills (07,000,000) Bill was read a third time
and passed, after some remarks from Sir H. WILLOUGHBY
on the large amount of the unfunded debt.
TnE VAR.—On the order for the third reading of the
Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill, Lord J. RUSSELL
called attention to the prospects of the war, without wishing,
he said, either to aggravate or diminish the responsibility of
ministers. With regard to naval operations, as it was evident
that the enemy did not mean to meet us in that field, it could
not be expected that the war would be terminated by our
fleet. There was danger, in his opinion, upon the Asiatic
frontier of Turkey, and the large allied force collected in the
Crimea would be met by a large Russian army from Poland
and other parts. He could not but think that these were
matters for very grave reflection. Serious questions might
also arise with reference to propositions for peace. The
Turkish Ambassador at Vienna was perfectly satisfied with
the terms proposed by Count Buol, and if the Ottoman
government should be of opinion that terms of peace had
been proposed which afforded sufficient security, and the war
should be still carried on, not for the security of Turkey, but
for the maintenance of the military reputation of France and
England, the position of these two countries would be very
much changed, and we must then subsidise Turkey. With
regard to France, the Emperor of the French, he observed,
had been not only so faithful, but so prudent and just an ally,
that he was disposed to pay great consideration to any opinion
of his as to negotiations for peace ; but, if an opportunity
should arise, and safe and honourable terms were offered, he
hoped the war would not be prolonged. He then proceeded
to review the condition of Italy, and especially the kingdom
of the Two Sicilies, where he said the best men were pining
in imprisonment, and Tuscany, where the old plan of religious
toleration and mildness had been exchanged for a tormenting
system of persecution which was a disgrace to the country.
And what aggravated the matter was that these evils were
taking place because one of the principal states of Italy—the
State of the Church—was in part in the occupation cf Austrian
troops, while its capital, Rome, was occupied by those of
France. The Pope must be dependent upon one or other
of these foreign states, and there was no symptom that the
Papal authority was gaining ground, or that, if the foreign
troops were withdrawn, it would not give place to some irre-
gular authority. If this was the case, what prospect was
there that either the Emperor of Austria or the Emperor of
the French would withdraw his troops ? And if the occupa-
tion continued indefinitely, the Pope must cease to be an
independent prince, and there would be a disturbance of the
balance of power in Europe.—After some remarks by Mr.
WILKINSON, who said the speediest mode of obtaining peace
was by a vigorous and successful prosecution of the war,
Lord PALMERSTON said he did not find fault with the course
taken by Lord J. Russell, and assured him and the house
that the government were deeply sensible of the gravity of
their responsibility. His colleagues, however, were not of
the same stamp with that man who, after full and mature
consideration, concurred in commencing and carrying on the
war, and then changed his opinion, and declared the war
unnecessary and unjust. They were prepared to take upon
themselves the responsibility which belonged to their posi-
tion, and would not be afraid to face parliament again.
Lord J. Russell had intimated doubts as to the opera-
tions of the war. The government could not enter
into any explanations upon that subject, nor as to the
terms of peace. The former must depend upon cir-
cumstances, and the conditions of peace upon the
results of the war. With respect to the remark of Lord J.
Russell, that the Turkish Ambassador had been of opinion
that the Austrian proposal ought to have been accepted, and
that he had been overborne by the opinions of England and
France, he had no reason to believe or to suppose that the
Turkish government differed from England and France as to
the propriety of not accepting that proposal. But the objects
of the war were wider than could depend upon the decision of
the Turkish government. The protection of Turkey was
means to an end ; behind the protection of Turkey was the
greater question of repressing the grasping ambition of
Russia, and preventing the extinction of the principles of
political and commercial liberty. He should not therefore be
prepared to say that it ought to be left to Turkey to decide
the conditions of the future peace of Europe, the governments
of England and France having as great or a greater interest
in the matter. With reference to the condition of Italy, he
thought he could answer for the government df France—he '
was sure he could say for that of England—that their atten-
tion would not be withheld from this interesting matter.—
Mr. HENLEY regretted that the matter should have been
brought up at all, as he did not see what good could arise
from this discussion, while it tended to introduce another
apple of discord. As we were now in the war, he thought
that fighting it out was the only mode of securing peace.—The
bill was then read a third time and passed.
The Militia Pay Bill was read a third time and passed.
PUBLIC HEALTH (No. 2) BILL—On the motion of Sir
B. HALL, the standing orders were suspended, and this bill
passed through all its stages.
The house then went into committee on the Charitable
Trusts Bill, commencing with clause 22, which, after some
discussion, was omitted. Clauses from 22 to 87 were agreed
to, when the CHAIRMAN reported progress.
The Schools Grants Security for Application Bill passed
through committee.
In answer to a question, Sir W. MOLEsWORTU said that
the acts conferring constitutions on New South Wales and
Victoria were despatched to those colonies on the 4th of this
month.
FINANCES or INDIA.—The house, having resolved itself
into a committee upon the accounts and papers relating to India,
Mr. V. SMIrK proceeded to give in detail the items of the re-
venue and expenditure in the several presidencies. In the year
1852-1853—the latest periods up to which the accounts were
made up—the extra surplus of income over expenditure was
£421,227, being £200,000 less than the estimate formed by
his predecessor Sir Charles Wood. A deficiency of £3,000,000
might be anticipated for the years 1854 and 1855, and to make
good this a proposal had been made to lay an additional tax
upon salt ; but this was a proposal which could not be enter-
tained. The mode by which the income and expenditure
might be equalized would be a matter for the serious consi-
deration of the Indian government. He concluded a speech
of considerable length by moving a formal resolution em-
bodying the results of his statement.—Mr. BRIGHT, after some
remarks condemnatory of the government of India, moved a
series of resolutions recommending that the annual accounts
of the finances of India should be made up to the 20th of
October, and the annual statement made at an earlier period
of the session.—After a lengthened discussion these were
agreed to.
The Charitable Trusts Bill passed through committee, and
the house adjourned at a quarter-past two o'clock.

EXTRAORDINARY FOOLHARDINESS.
As a proof of the heedless indifference to danger which
some of the men acquire from constantly moving amongst
shot and shell, the following example, which occurred last
evening, may be mentioned. A large shell had been thrown
from the Redan into our right attack, and during its passage
the fuze had accidentally dropped out. The shell fell, there-
fore, like a round shot into part of the approach connected
with the old advanced or third parallel. Some men of the
47th Regiment were near, waiting for the reliefs to arrive,
and ready to return to camp. One of these soldiers, after exa-
mining the unexploded shell, actually had the foolhardiness to
jerk the ashes of the tobacco in his pipe, which he had just
finished smoking, into the fuze-hole. Another of the men
standing by, and observing the action, had only just time to
utter an exclamation, when the shell burst. The reckless
author of the mischief suffered severely—both his legs were
shattered, and he was frightfully scorched about the head and
face. Five other men were wounded, but fortunately none
were dangerously hurt. It is presumed that the man had no
idea of any of the pipe-ash being sufficiently hot to cause
ignition of the powder in the shell. Instances of men expos-
ing themselves to imminent hazard by showing their position
to the enemy occur daily, even in the most advanced works,
and it often requires the greatest watchfulness on the part of
the officers to make them sufficiently thoughtful of their own
safety, and that of others around them.
Another correspondent of the same jonrnal, on the
27th, says, in reference to the
RUSSIAN PREPARATIONS OF DEFENCE :
Although the bombardment has not yet commenced officially,
yet our batteries are far from remaining idle, either by night
or day. The report asserts that an order was delivered from
head-quarters to the effect that no shot from the enemy was
to remain unacknowledged, but in every practicable position
he was to receive, if possible, two for one. We are too near
his stronghold for Johnny Rusky to leave us unnoticed, and
and as soon as the clink of some unlucky pick-axe rings in
his ears, a shower of grape or canister, a light ball, and a
bouquet of shells, give us notice that we are not sufficiently
careful. The French have withstood the brunt of two as-
saults on their position in front of the Malakhoff. Their ad-
vanced trench is now within 100 paces of the counterscarp of
that work, and the Russians evidently calculate on their gain-
ing a footing there, as they are at present occupying themselves
in throwing up a cavalier work in rear of the former parapet.
This may enable them to make a more protracted defence, but it
will also cramp their movements, and prevent them replacing
their guns and repairing their works, as they could more effec-
tually do were their space less confined. It is a more direct
advantage to us, as, in the event of our taking the outer work,
this new parapet will afford us good cover from the fire of the
ships, and prevent us from suffering so severely while endea-
vouring to form inside. Those who have seen the rear works
of the Malakhoff from our shipping outside, say that the form is
somewhat heart-shaped ; the two semi-circular portions are
facing the besiegers, and the sides are formed "en cremaillere,"
so as to secure a flanking fire along the whole front and flanks.
Two entrenchments are drawn within it; but although such
seiges as those of Saragossa and Silistria warn us that a town
must not necessarily fall with its outworks, or regular defences,
yet, if the Allies once succeed in introducing 1,000 men within
the fortifications of either the Redan or Round Tower, the fate
of this Armageddon is sealed.
RUSSIAN LOSSES.
Disease must be raging violently within the walls of the
city, as the burial-ground on the north side is assuming a
wonderful magnitude. We can plainly see the Russian
fatigue parties arriving every morning on the ground, and
having piled their arms and hung their accoutrements on
them, proceeded to dig a series of pits for the reception of
their dead. The burying ground is rapidly filling all the
plain lying on the north side between the cliffs and the sea
where none existed (visibly) before the month of April last.
As far as we can see, there are at present very few troops on
the plateau of the north side ; they seem to have all been
drawn towards Sebastopol, and there is, consequently, a large
display of canvas in its vicinity. Many are of opinion that
the greater part of the camp is required as an hospital.
THE NEW COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF.
Many reforms have taken place in the interior economy of
our routine since the change at our head-quarters ; they give
universal satisfaction. The trench duties are now taken by
divisions, which prevents a deal of trouble ; in the event of
casualties, the senior officers can be discovered without diffi-
culty, and the command handed over to the proper person
without requiring the aid of an army list. The whole of the
attack is placed under the command of the general of the
attack, who delivers his orders to all employed. Formerly
the artillery was only under the control of its own chief, and
received the orders from him alone. The inconvenience from
this arrangement has only now been rectified. Our new com-
mander-in-chief seems determined to view all things for him-
self, and will take nothing on hearsay. He was nearly taken
as a spy by some soldier ignorant of his rank not long since,
as the latter could not understand what business an officer in
a very shabby uniform, and without any attendants, had in
promenading through the most advanced and exposed
trenches, looking into the magazines, taking the directions of
the mortar batteries, and making himself master of the whole
plan of our attack.
•
The correspondent of the Times, writing from the camp of
the Fourth Division before Sebastopol, on July 30, says :
Since the sortie of the 23rd inst. nothing of importance or
even of interest has occurred here. The desultory fire to
which we are accustomed continues by day, usually swelling
into a roar of artillery for a portion of every night. Last
night, for instance, the din began at half-past 10, and lasted
with intervals about three hours. The casualties continue
much as before, not very heavy, although some days are un-
lucky, and on the night of the 28th the Guards had 25 to 30
men killed and wounded. But, however unimportant, in a
siege of ordinary duration, would be the usual daily loss here
experienced, in one so prolonged as that of Sebastopol it be-
comes a serious consideration, especially when taken in con-
junction with the loss from disease. This, lam glad to say,
diminishes. Cholera cases have become very rare. Fever
and diarrhoea are what most prevail, but not by any means
to an alarming extent. Upon the whole, the sanitary condi-
tion of our army must be deemed satisfactory.
It seems a pretty general opinion that no very long
period will elapse before another attack is made upon the
Malakhoff. As regards an expedition into the interior of the
Crimea, that is highly improbable. In fact, I believe nothing
of the kind is in contemplation—at any rate, for the present.
The month of September would be a favourable season at
which to commence such a movement.
Colonel Norcott's (Rifles) ieivaTand charger were await-
ing, yesterday mooning, his return from the trenches in what
was considered a perfectly sheltered situation, when a round
shot, bounding over an eminence, killed both horse and man.
Four Russian deserters came in yesterday.
The Duke of Newcastle has arrived at Balaklava, and has
been up to the front.
July 31.—Soon after five o'clock this morning a most
violent storm of wind and rain commenced, and continues as
I write. It will cause, I fear, much discomfort, if not actual
damage, in the camp, over which it rages with a combined
fury and duration which I do not remember to have seen sur-
passed. The considerable portion of the camp of which I
command a view from my hut is converted into a lake, the
rain descending faster than it can sink into the earth. Even
the furious war of the elements does not wholly suspend the
strife of man, and from time to time, above the roar of the
wind and the plash of the rain, the boom of a gun reaches us.
As I write, however, the tempest passes over, the clouds fly
seaward, the rain ceases, and already the camp resumes its
stir.
Another correspondent of the same paper, writes as follows,
on July 31:—
The firing during the last few days has been on our side far
more lively than it had been for some time ; this increased
firing has, however, a defensive rather than an offensive
character. The Russians, seeing our works daily approach
closer to theirs, are trying by their single gun practice to
annoy us. The orders have accordingly been given to return
the fire from our batteries whenever it becomes too annoying.
Once already this was tried before, and it moderated some-
what the ardour of the Russian gunners. This is the second
trial, which I hope will be not less successful in insuring us a
little respite, for, somehow or other, the less we fire the better
is the Russian gun practice, and vice vend.
But no firing of the Russians, be it good or bad, slight or
heavy, is able to impede the progress of the works. The sur-
face of the ground in the neighbourhood of the Malakhoff
works and the Redan is presenting every day a more checkered
appearance. It is one mass of trenches, traverses, rifle pits,
and batteries—a perfect maze, so that it requires a strongly
developed organ of locality, or else many days of trench duties,
to find one's way. The railway is perhaps the best test of the
gigantic activity which is prevailing ; numbers of mortars and
large quantities of ammunition come up daily by it, and van-
ish again silently, to be replaced next day by others. It is as
if the trenches were an unfathomable abyss, snch an incredible
mass of mortars, guns, shells, and shot do they seem to swal- I
low lip.

perfect perception of right and wrong. They are both
Incumbents, and, consequently, are in the receipt of
incomes, to the possession of which they were admitted
upon the strength of certain oaths and declarati):l3,to
which their letters prove that they pay no regard.
They continue to eat the Church's bread, while they
deny what they admit to be her doctrine, and violate
her pfecepts. How different the conduct of those
Scottish Ministers who first constituted the Free
Kirk ! Little as we sympathise with their principles,
we have always respected them as honest men—as
men who proved their honesty by giving up their all
rather than sacrifice their principles : and little as we
sympathise with their views and principles who
deprave the Book of Common Prayer, still we should
respect their honesty if they relinquished those
material advantages of which they obtained possession
by, int,2). cilia, declaring their assent and consent to
the said book. We repeat, they must be wilfully dis-
honest, or else be endowed with a very low perception
of right and wrong ; and, until we have proof of the
former, we are but too glad to suppose the latter.
But besides these, there are clergymen who, hold-
ing certain doctrines, profess their conviction that the
Prayer Book really contains the same : only they
admit that there are some things in it which are capa-
ble of being differently understood, and, therefore, to
prevent mistakes they wish these parts to be altered.
These men occupy a position widely different to that
of the others : they do not deprave the Book of Com-
mon Prayer—on the contrary, they contend that its
doctrines are identical with those truths which them-
selves maintain and teach. All that they complain of
is, that some things arc not quite so clearly ex-
pressed as they might be. In all this they may be
mistaken, and yet be perfectly honest ; but, supposing
theni to be perfectly correct—supposing their doctrines
to be orthodox, and their interpretation of the Prayer
Book the true one, still we are prepared to maintain
that their course is an unwise one, and that if they
could carry out the objects which they have in view
they would do infinite mischief. Of all those who are
discontented with the Prayer Book as it is, it would
be difficult perhaps to find half-a-dozen who would be
contented with the same amount of alteration. We
have not the slightest fear of any alterations, such as
are proposed, ever being accomplished : but we dread
any serious attempt to accomplish them, as calculated
to cause a degree of excitement and animosity, which
cannot but be prejudicial to the best interests of the
Church at large. We must defer till next week any
more particular notice of the papers to which we have
already referred, when we shall endeavour to show
the dangerous and objectionable character of the
Society in question, or rather of the objects which it
proposes to accomplish.

CHARLES MATHEWS AND LADY
BLESSINGTON.
THE following jocose letter from Charles
Mathews to Lady Blessington is given among her
ladyship's correspondence in Madden's " Me-
moirs :"
" Torre del Annunciato, Napoli,
Wednesday Evening.
[1824.]—" DEAR LADY BLESSINGTON,—OR
Wednesday last, at half-past twelve o'clock pre-
cisely, we started from Pompeii, and arrived in
excellent health, covered with dust, hoping your
ladyship is the same. After a scientific walk
through a few of the houses, we returned to our
quarters, and sat down to dinner, which we per-
formed with ease in less than five-and-thirty
minutes. We then went to bed, thinking that
the best way of passing the evening, and though
we had no curtained sleep,' we managed un-
commonly well, and it perfectly answered our
purpose. Angell says that I snored ; but persons
are very fond of throwing their own sins upon the
backs, or rather the noses, of others. _ _
" On the following morning, at break of day,
we were again at Pompeii, and spent the whole
of the day in combining, analyzing, and arranging
our plan of study. The result was this, that we
found nothing in the whole city worthy of being
measured and drawn architecturally' (by which
I mean outlined with the scrupulous accuracy of
measurement usually adopted by architects) ex-
cept the two theatres and the amphitheatre,
picturesque sketches and notes of the other sub-
jects of interest being quite sufficient for our
object.
" On Friday morning we commenced, and by
our united efforts have completed the measure-
ment of the small theatre, which, by the by, was
unquestionably an odium. We are now engaged
upon the other, which I hope to see concluded in
three days ; from all which it appears probable
that I shall have the happiness of seeing you all

COMMERCIAL <<;2(7 310NETARY NEWS.
MONDAY NIGHT.
THE Money Market during the week has presented
very little worthy of notice, the fluctuations, as in the
preceding week, being very trifling, and the standard
price of 91 for Consols not being departed from more
than a quarter per cent. This absence of vitality is
owing no doubt to the season of the year, most persons
enjoying recreation in the country or at the sea-side
rather than attending to business, for which there is
little inducement at present. At the same time, the
news from the seat of war have been merely variations
of " all's Well," without either successes or reverses to
give an impetus to speculation. The repayment of the
deposits on the French Loan, which will be made in a
day or two, will, no doubt, render money more plen-
tiful ; while, on the other hand, the paling of the
Limited Liability Bill may give employment to more
capital. The Bank returns, on Friday, show a dimi-
nution in the stock of bullion to the extent of £153,658,
but the notes unemployed have increased £111,155 ;
notwithstanding there is an increase of " other secu-
rities" of 079,663. The other changes are compara-
thiely unimportant. Money for commercial purposes
is still very easy, the rate of discount for first-rate
paper ruling as low as 2-1 per cent., the Bank minimum
remaining el 32 per cent.
The accounts from Manchester are rather of a
desponding character, the trade being dull, owing to
varielts 'causes, Which, though combined, may account
fat the present indisposition to operate, but are neither
'of them more than of a temporary character. The
'remedy sought is in diminished prodneition, and in
litlaekburn a /1-esolution has been come •to., 'to work the
factories only four days a-week :; but 'according to the
-eirbillar of Messrs. HUGE BALVOUIt and Co., a rapid
'return to usual hours of labour is anticipated.
The arrivals of specie last week 'amounted to about
£620,000, all in gold Theshipments being estimated
rat about £lOO,OOO, and as the 'Foreign Exchanges are
favoarable, it is believed that the greater portion will
gointo the Bank neffers. The Great-western dividend
'wiß be at the rate of only 2.per cent. per annum.
We quote thefollowing Irenrarks from the circular
of Messrs. T. and 11. lITTIIEBALE and Co.:---
A strong apprehension preValled for some days, that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer was going to impose an addi-
tional 10 per cent. On the 'import duties, and considerable
quantities of •Sagar and /Tea 'were in consequence released
from bond; bat the very recent date of the late increase—the
immediate oloee of 'the setsien of parliament, and the injurious
effect of sucha measure• at this critical period of the year,
seemed ha ,combine to render it most imProbable—and by the
measure now ;proposed, of issuing £7,000,000 of Exchequer-
bills szd 'bonds,- anythange in customs' duties may be con-
sidered attain end-----that an increase may be imposed by -the
spring budget, should the war continue, is more than probable,
andziay tastly -enter intone calculations of merchants now

stocks .appear even lighter than they are ; but of refining
qualities there is a decided -scarcity, •as shown by the relative
advance in these kinds compared with grocery descriptions—

duty, :and the latter only.4s. 6d.

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
A YACHT CLUE, on the British model, is about to be
formed at Lisbon, under the patronage of the King.
SHORT TIME has been generally adopted in Blackburn.
The mills, with only one or two exceptions, are now running
four days a week.
DURING a late thunder-storm, the earthen pinnacle raised on
the highest peak of Benledi was struck with lightning, when
both it and the ground at the bottom of it were torn up. No
tourist happened to be there at the time.
ON MONDAY, while a youth was fishing near the Serpen-
tine-bridge, and stooping down to take some grass out of the
water, he was horrified to find that he had pulled up the body
of a man. The deceased was recognised as a respectable man
named Pudge, living at Caroline-place, Chelsea.
A RETURN, publisk ed by the Shipping Gazette, shows that
the number of vessels wrecked in the month of July amounted
to 70. In the previous month of June, 83 vessels were wrecked;
May, 98; April, 109; March, 149; February, 164; and in
January, 238.
THE net profits of the first year of the Crystal Palace (ex-
clusive of 25,786 guinea season tickets, which are applicable to
the next year) have been £66,000, out of which a dividend of
6 per cent was declared in February, leaving £12,299 now to
be carried over.
LORD STANLEY attended a meeting on Wednesday in the
riding school at Hatfield, Herts, and delivered an able address
(the Marquis of Salisbury in the chair) in support of the
establishment of a people's library for the village of Hatfield
and the surrounding districts.
RAIL TO INVERNESS.—It appears that an attempt is to be
made to bring Inverness within the circle of railway commu-
nication. The railway, it is said, will be called " The Inver-
ness and Aberdeen Junction Railway," and will be supported
IT the largest landed proprietors of the north of Scotland.
• AT the Bow-street police-court, on Wednesday, Sir John
Paul and Messrs. Strahan and Bates were formally remanded
another week, in accordance with previous arrangement.
Sir John and Mr. Bates, having failed to obtain sureties to
the required amount, were conveyed back to the house of
detention.

sold to an Englishman—but not a resident in England—for a
trifle ender £2,000. Mdlle. Benheur has painted a reduced
copy for the engraver, which is now in Mr. Thos. Landseer's
hands. The second picture has been purchased by Mr, Jacob
Bell.
AT THE Royal Brewery, Brentford, last week, a fatal
accident occurred, owing to the fall of a wall. Outside the
wall an alley runs down to the Thames, and of five or six
children who were playing there, two were killed. A third
was buried beneath the rubbish, but was sheltered in some
way, and crawled out uninjured.
A GIRL wren Two HEADS.—The French papers have
produced a marvel. A girl has been born in France with two
heads—the one being placed on the spot where heads usually
are placed, and the other at the precise spot where monkeys
and other creatures wear their tails. This latter had been
amputated, and the child is still alive, and suffers as little
inconvenience as Friar Bacon did from the loss of his head.
THE house No. 21, Gilbert-street, Hanover-square, London,
was the seene;of a most disgraceful outrage on Saturday. A
hand grenade was discharged against the windows, and much
damage was done, although no person was injured. A few
nights previously similar outrages were committed at No. 2,
Milton-street, Dorset-square, and a house in Bryanstone-
street, Bryanstone-square, suffered in the same way.
Extara.lßesr, servant to Mr. Hughes, in Blandford-street,
Portmanzsquare, London, was cooking the dinner on Mon-
day, when her dress wafted against the bars of the grate, and
she tams speedily enveloped in flame. Mrs. Hughes went
down -stairs, when the servant rushed 'into the arms of her
mistress, and instantly set fire to her dress. They were ex-
tricated, and removed to Middlesex Hospital, but remain in
a most precarious position.
PROJECTED TUNNEL RAILWAY rEETWEEN FRANCE AND
EcseLAND.—M. Fevre, an engineer, has lately published some
observations relative to the possibility of making a railway
ender the channel from France to England. The length of
'the work, he says, would be SO kilometres (18* English
-miles), and pierced at such a length as to always leave 25
metres at least between the arch and the bottom of the sea.
The tunnel he proposes to have lined with a double archway,
• one of bricks and the other of -iron, this latter, pierced with
narrow openings, to allow at once the slightest infiltration to
be perceived.
THE CHARGE OF Pont:ea/NO AT BURDON.—At the 'ad-
journed examination of Mr. Woolen, before the magistrates at
Burdon, on Monday, Dr. Richardson, of Newcastle-on-Tyne,
stated that in the portion of the viscera sent to him for
analysis, he had found the presence of arsenic clearly indicated.
Dr. Fothergill stated that be had lent Mr. Wooler his enema,
for the purpose of administering injections to the deceased,
and that after the return -of the syringe he had found, by
analysis, the traces of arsenic in or about it. The prisoner
was again remanded. The body of the deceased lady has been
exhumed, and the remaining viscera removed from it and
forwarded to Professor Taylor for analysis.
A YANKEE JOSEPH ADT.—About twenty years ago, the
congress of the United -States passed a law by -which all
claims against the government of that country, commencing
from the revolutionary struggle of 1776 to the peace, should
be paid. Many thousands of persons have started up in the
States to conduct the business of claimants. One man, how-
ever, signing himself William Mark, 92, Warren-street, New
York city, has been writing letters to English ecitizens, ac-
quainting them that. for £1 they can hear of something of
importance to their advantage, and enclosing a card, stating
that he recovered claims due by the United States govern-
ment to individuals, for the service of themselves or their
ancestors in the American war of independence. he subject
has been brought before the London magistrates, and the
American minister at London has transmitted a report of the
complaints to New York.
ENGLAND'S DGCLINE.—Those who talk about England's
decline, and fix her position as a third or fourthsrate Power,
because she has lost 30,000 men before Sebastopol, talk
twaddle. The loss of ten such armies would only serveto
unveil her resources and bring out the indomitable. energyof
her people. She is a maritime Power. Her commerce esta-
blishes her rank among nations, and her navy is strong
eeough to foster, guard, and watch over that"ecmmeree in
every quarter of the globe. When the first shows symptoms
of decay, or the latter is powerless to protect, then, and not
till then, will Great Britain lose her prestige, and fall from
the lofty position she has for centuries occupied. Her suc-
cessor, as mistress of the seas, is even now at her side, moving
along with rapid strides, but that successor is neither France
nor Russia, nor any of the worn out nations of the Old
World.—New York"..,Mnes.
THE John Bali, after pointing out the unsatisfactory cha-
racter of the late change in the stamp laws as applied to
newspapers, calls upon the Conservative party to -support the
Conservative press. If (says our able contemporary) as much
pains had been taken,and as much expense incurred, by the
Conservatives, to indoctrinate the population with sound prin-
ciples through the public press, as the Liberals of .all classes
and shades have bestowed on the promulgation of -their per-
nicious principles through the same channel, the; osition of
the Conservative partyin this country would be very different
from what it is. There never was a greater politica, blunder
than the lofty contempt with which some of our magnates
affect to look down upon -what, in a phraseology which has as
little wit as elegance to-recommend it, they term "the press-
gang," whilst others repose with apathetic indifference on
what they imagine to betheir secure position in the upper
strata of society.
AFFAIR BETWEEN MILITIA AND POLICE.—The West
York Regiment of Rifles, including some of the officers, have
been seriously misconductiro• themselves at Pontefract. On
Saturday night a private, -named Dickenson, was arrested on
a charge of having stolen a_purse containing £2 175., .and a
silk handkerchief from a farmer. On the way to the police-
office a body of the militia.attacked the officer who had the
prisoner in charge, and forced :him to lose his grasp. Mr.
Ward, superintendent of ,the borough police was savagely
kicked, and a complaint has been -made to the magistrates
that when the rioting wangoing on the officers of the regi-
ment took no notice of it. ;Two of the lieutenants were
arrested on the same night, one, (Hebden) for breaking glass
and pulling off bell handles, and the: ther (Moss) for assault-
ing the police superintendent. the private charged with
-theft has been committed for trial at the sessions, and it is
:thought that the conduct of the ofkers will be brought under
the notice of the Home Secretary.
THREE BROTHERS Dnowsruin.—Thane boys, sons of Mr.
Matheson, farmer, Fishbits, Deeside, Aberdeenshire, aged 11,
and 15, were drowned on- Sunday, last week, under the
following most distressing cireumstances:—They had gone to
thegAnd of a saw-mill at Kirktown of Minis. It would ap-
pear—for nobody saw them—the two youngest, having taken
off tb-eir clothes, had gone in to bathe, and either venturing
too far, or being otherwise in danger, their elder brother had
jumped in to their assistance, when -the whale three were
drowned. The father was at church, and their mother, sup-
posing-they might have gone to gather berries in the wood,
did not beeome alarmed for some little time, and when the
servant girl went to look for the lads she failed in finding
them. It:was about three o'clock iu the afternoon, and their
father had returned home, that the distracted mother was
startled by being the first to see her eldest son's hat floating
on the milldam. The clothes of his two brothers were got by
the side of -the pond, and the worst fears of those.present were
soon realised, when, on the mill-water being drawn off, the
bodies of the three youths, the eldest with his clothes on and
the younger two undressed, were found in such a position as
left little doubt the sad affair had occurred in the manner
described.
THE NEW LA.W kir BILLS AND NOTES.—FrOM the 24th of
October next, all actions on bills or notes, commenced within
six months after the earne shall have become payable, may be
by writ of summons. .On affidavit of personal service of the
writ, or (in case of its being shown before a judge that per-
sonal service cannot be effected under the provisions of the
Common Law Procedure Act, by an order of leave to proceed,
in case ithe defendant shall not have appeared, or obtained
leave to appear, the
up to the date of the signing. Twelve days will be allowed
plaintiff may sign judgment, with interest
for the defendant to appear and defend the action ; but, in
order to do so, he must pay the sum demanded into court, to
abide the verdict at the trial, and satisfy a judge that he has a
p
real legal or equitable defence to the claim. For the further
of defendants, it is enacted by the third section,
that, after judgment, the court or a judge may, upon special
circumstances, set aside the judgment, stay execution, and
allow the defendant to come in and defend. The holder of a
bill of exchange may issue summonses against all or any of the
parties to the bill ; and the expenses of noting, which are not
now allowed by the judges, will no longer fall upon the holder
of the security, If circumstances should appear upon the
ex parte application of a plaintiff, disclosing any suspicion of
fraud or collusion, the judge may order the bill or note to be
impounded, and all proceedings stayed, till the plaintiff gives
security for costs. The Queen is empowered to extend this
act, by an order in council, to district courts of record; but it
will not apply to the county courts. By these simple provi-
sions the respectable drawers and holders of negotiable securi-
ties will not be affected in the least ; no one can be surprised
on the one hand or delayed on the other; and, where a real
defence does exist, there are the same facilities for urging it
as for proceeding against it. It is the scum of the market,
the hangers-on of the turf—the crowd of scheming adven-
turers who seem to make such a good living out of being
ruined—who will come under the tender mercies of the new
act, which will certainly hit them hard, and may possibly in-
spire a little wholesome caution in respect to putting their
names on paper. The " Act for facilitating the remedies
upon bills of exchange and promissory notes" is good in it-
self ; but, when read with the Limited Liability Bill, which
"stops the way" in the house at present, it becomes doubly
important. Thise two measures will go hand-in-hand ; the
one encouraging honest enterprise, the otherchecking fictitious
credit; for we suspect that people will be wiser than to lend
their names to doubtful paper, when they know that in twelve
days after that paper becomes due the sheriff's officer may be
at their door.—lllanc4eBter Guardian,
FUNERAL of the late EARL of SEFTON.
TEE death of the late Earl of Sefton has occasioned a feeling
of profound regret among all classes of the community in
Liverpool and its neighbourhood, and indeed all over this dis-
trict of the county, in which the personal worth and kind-
hearted disposition of his lordship wereewell known and
widely appreciated. Indications of this respect were shown
in different ways. At the meeting of the Town Council on
Wednesday, Mr. Robertson Gladstone, at the conclusion of an
eloquent and feeling address on the subject, moved that the
Council adopt and transmit to the widowed Countess an ad-
dress of condolence on the bereavement which she and the
family have sustained in the death of his lordship, and also
expressive of the grateful feeling entertained by the Council
towards the memory of the deceased Earl for the numerous
indications of good-will he had displayed towards the town,
and the many benefits he had conferred on it. The sentiments
expressed by Mr. Gladstone were echoed and re-echoed by Mr.
Hornhy and by his worship the Mayor ; the latter announcing
his intention of being present on the following day at the ob-
sequies of the noble Earl, in token of the general esteem in
which his lordship had been and still continued to be held.
The Council with one voice acquiesced in the recommendation,
and the address was unanimously adopted.
Prior to his decease, Lord Sefton had strongly expressed a
desire that his funeral should be conducted in as private and
unostentatious a manner as possible, directing that whatever
saving might be effected in the difference between a funeral
conducted with decent, though respectful plainness, and one
more generally considered in aecordance with his elevated
rank, should be devoted to the relief of the poor. In so far
as his lordship's family and representatives were concerned,
this desire was implicitly obeyed, but some obstacle to carrying
out the desired privacy was offered in the respectful regards
and grateful affection entertained for him by his numerous
tenantry, and others connected with him in the pu'blic and pri-
vate business of life. A desire, very generally expressed by these
parties, to be permitted to take part in the funeral ceremonial
was acceded to ; and on Thursday last, in accordance with
previous arrangements, the tenantry, to the number of up-
wards of eight hundred, assembled at Netherton-green to
await the approach of the funeral procession from Croxteth-
hall, and join in it on its way to Sefton church. In addition
to those who meant to form part of the funeral procession,
there were also assembled there, and at other points along the
line of route, vast crowds of sorrowing spectators. After
lying from Tuesday night in the drawing-room of Croxteth-
hail, the coffin was removed into the hearse on Thursday, the
funeral procession starting from the hall for Sefton church
at eleven o'clock, in the following order :

Flags were hoisted half mast at Walton and Aintree
churches.
At Netherton Green the funeral cortege was joined by the
tenants ,of the Sefton estates, about 800 in number, headed by
the Rev. W. H. Vernon, of Aintree, and the under-stewards,
Messrs. Emery, Warner, and La.thbury, who walked thence
to Sefton, foui. 'abreast. The Earl of Derby and the other pall-
bearers arrived at Netherton Green in private carriages ; but
when the funeral train from Crosteth-park reached the Green
they entered the second mourning coach, which immediately
preceded the hearse, and their private carriages, dosed, then
joined in the procession. The private carriages joined the
procession after the mourning and other coaches mentioned
above had passed, and then followed a number of coaches
and light vehicles of various descriptions, some of them con-
taining tradesmen who had long enjoyed the patronage of the
deceased and of members of his family.
Among the clergy and gentlemen who attended in private
carriages were the right Rev. the Bishop of Sodor and Man,
the Mayor of Liverpool, William Brown, Esq., M.P., J. C.
Ewart, Esq., M.P., Robertson Gladstone, Esq., B. Heywood
Jones, Esq., Joseph Pollock, Esq., W. Statham, Esq., Robert
Horsfall, Esq., D. Neilson, Esq., John Stewart, Esq., Hard-
man Earle, Esq., Joseph Langton, Esq., George Thompson,
Esq., Aiglirth ; Richard Bright, Esq., John Myers, Esq.,
J. H. Turner, Esq., W. H. Anthony, Esq., William Preston,
Esq., T. B. Troughton, Esq., Joseph Walker, Esq., Calder-
stones.; James Gerard, Esq., J. B. Yates, Esq., Ambrose Lace,
Esq.,—Johnson, Esq., Samuel Thompson, Esq., C. E. Ashton,
Esq., Rev. Thomas Gardner, Dr. Woods, Aintree; James
Rigby, Esq., Moss-house; Fredrick Lyon, Esq., Henry Lafone,
Esq., H. R. Glazebrook, Esq., J. Warrall, Esq., Knotty Ash ;
Captain Aspinall; William Barker, Esq., West Derby; J. Ri-
-ley, Esq., of Stand-house ; Rev. Mr. Vernon, Aintree ; R. C.
Lowndes, Esq., Club Moor, &c. The high-sheriff of the
county, John Pemberton Heywood, Esq., Who was one of the
deceased nobleman's executors, was not able to be present at
the funeral on account of his official duties at Lancaster assizes.
Mr. John Hastings, of Mount-pleasant, Liverpool, Mr. J.
A. Cain, of Lord-street, Mr. Juries Hall, Mr. drown, Lord-
street, Mr. Michael Lea, Mr. Robert Frodsham, solicitor, and
many other gentlemen from Liverpool, also joined the proces-
sion in vehicles.
The procession reached Sefton Church shortly before one
o'clock. The corpse was here met by the Rev. John Stewart,
rector of West Derby, the officiating clergyman, and was
borne slowly into the church, the mourners following in the
annexed •order :
The Countess of Sefton, Lord Molyneux,
Lady• Cecilia Molyneux, Hon. Caryl Molyneux,
Lady C. Townley, Hon. F. Molyneux,
Mr. Grenfeil, Mr. Townley,
Rev. F. Hopwood. Colonel H. Hopwood,
Mr. •C.W. Grenfell, Mr. H. Grenfell,
Lord Craven,
Hon. F. K. Craven.
The coffin was placed upon a bier in the nave of the church,
and the family and near relatives of the deceased earl occupied
a pew having black curtains and cushions, and other tokens of
deep mourning, in the south aisle, near the chancel, the pall
bearers taking their seats in a pew adjoining. In the same
part of the church were seated the Mayor of Liverpool, Win.
Brown, Esq., M.P., Mr. J. C. Ewart, M.P., Mr. Robertson
Gladstone, and other gentlemen. The domestics of Croxteth
Hall sat in the centre aisle and on the north side of the
church. The tenantry occupied most of the other seats in the
body of the church, and the two side galleries were also filled
with ladies and gentlemen. The pulpit and reading desks
were hung with fringed black cloth ; the escutcheons sus-
pended over the family vault were bordered with black velvet
and crape, and in other parts of the building similar indica-
tions of mourning met the eye of the spectator.
" The Dead March in Saul" was performed on the organ
before the burial service was begun in the church. After the
body had been borne to the new vault prepared for its recep-
tion in the north-east chapel, the Countess of Sefton, her two
sons, and the other members of the family grouped themselves
before the entrance to it, and remained there during the read-
ing of the latter portion of the solemn service. The scene
throughout was a deeply affecting one; the countess herself
was bowed down in grief, and some tears might be observed
to fall from manly eyes.
When the service was concluded, the Countess of Sefton,
leaning on the arm of the young earl, with her daughter, the
Hon. Caryl Molyneux, and others of the more immediate
relatives, descended into the vault, and took a parting look at
the coffin, after which they retired from the church and
returned to the carriages. At the close of the ceremony
Vital spark of heavenly flame" was performed on the organ.
Many persons were subsequently permitted to descend into the
-vault, and the pressure at last became so great that it was
found necessary to close the gates leading to it.
The outer coffin, which contained the body, was cased in
crimson velvet, studded with brass nails, disposed in panels,
and furnished with massive brass handles, three on each side,
and one at each end. On the upper part of the lid was a
coronet in relief, handsomely gilt, and below a large brass
plate, bearing the family arms, and the motto, " Vivere sat
vineere," and the inscription—
CHARLES WILLIAM MOLYNEUX,
Third Earl of Sefton,
Born 10th July,
1796.
Died 2nd August,
1855.
While the body lay in the hall, many of the tenantry and
inhabitants .of the neighbourhood, who entertained a high
respect for the deceased, were admitted to view the coffin,
among them old men, tenants—one 90, and the other 86
years of age—who had been born on the estate, and who now
came to pay their last respects to the late earl.
TEE FORTHCOMING ELECTIONS.--Mr. Lowe, the newly-
appointed Vice-President of the Board of Trade, has issued an
address to the electors of Kidderminster, offering himself for
re-election. An opposition is expected in the person of Mr.
John Best, a relative. of Lord Wynford. The Hon. W. F.
Cowper, the newly-appointed President of the Board of Health,
offers himself for re-election at Hertford. Mr. C. J. Dims-
dale is spoken of as a candidate. The Hon. E. P. Bouverie,
the new President of the Poor-law Board, will in all proba-
bility be re-elected for Kilmarnock without opposition.
BOYLE V. L'UNIVEEN.—Mr. Boyle has brought an action
in the French courts against the newspaper L' Univers—in
the first instance, to compel the editor to place in the hands
of a notary public the original letter, the translation of which
was published on the 23rd of May, 1854, and which transla-
tion, subsequently published in this country, constituted the
ground of action brought against Cardinal Wiseman in
England; the second object is to recover 25,000 francs, byl
way of damages, for the injury the plaintiff has sustained
his character by the publication of the said letter.

Gallery with all the requisites for producing first-class Portraits.
Mr. E. begs to state that, in producing a really good Daguer-
reotype, a combination of appliances and favourable circum
stances are required, deprived of which the Art sinks to the
insignificance justly belonging to the very many wretched dis-
torted abortions, claiming the name of Photographs, and are to
be seen in almost every street.
Mr. E.'a long practice in the above Art has resulted in the pro-
duction of Portraits as much superior to the ordinary Photograph
as the leading artist is to the street miniature painter.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
are passages of rare beauty to be met with in it.
One in particular seems new, fragrant, and glow-
ng. A banquet and ball have been given by
Maud's father, to which the hero has not been
invited ; but in promise of meeting him when
the festal bands are gone, she drops a rose-bud
in the rivulet, which wafts it to his feet. He
waits for, and, while waiting, thus apostrophises
her :
Come into the garden, Maud,
For the black bat, night, has flown,
Come-into the garden, Maud,
I am here at the gate alone;
And the woodbine spices are es afted abroad,
And the musk of the roses blown.
For a breeze of morning moves,
And the planet of Love is on high,
-Beginning to faint in the light that she loves,
On a bed of daffodil sky,
To faint in the light of the sun she loves,
To faint in his light, and .to die.
All night have the roses heard
The flute, violin, bassoon ;
All night has the casement jessamine stirred
To the dancers dancing in tune;
Till a silence fell with the waking bird,
And a hush with the setting moon.
I said to the lily, " There is but one
With whom she has heart to he gay.
When will the dancers leave her alone ?
She is weary of dance and play."
Now half to the setting moon are gone,
And half to the rising day;
Low on the sand and load on the stone
The last wheel echoes away.
I said to the rose, "The brief night goes
In babble and revel and wine.
0 young lord-lover' what sighs are those,
For one that will never be thine ?
- But mine, but mine," so i sware to the rose,
"For ever and ever, mine."
And the soul of the rose went into my blood,
As the music clash'd in the hall;
• And long by the garden lake I stood,
For I heard your rivulet fall
From the lake to the meadow and on to the wood,
Our wood that is dearer than all;
From the meadow your walks have left so sweet
That whenever a March-wind sighs
He sets the jewel-print of your feet
In violets blue as your eyes,
To the woody hollows in which we meet
And the valleys of Paradise.
The slender acacia would not shake
One long milk-bloom on the tree ;
The white lake-blossom fell into the lake,
As the pimpernel dozed ou the lea ;
But the rose was awake all night for your sake,
Knowing your promise to me ;
The lilies and roses were all awake,
They sigh'd for the dawn and thee.
Queen rose of the rosebud garden of girls,
Come hither, the dances are done,
In gloss of satin and glimmer of pearls,
Queen lily and rose in one ;
Shine out, little head, sunning over with curls,
To the flowers, and be their sun.
There has fallen a splendid tear
From the passion-flower at the gate.
She is coming, my dove, my dear;
She is coming, my life, my fate ;
.The red rose cries, "She is near, she is near ;"
And the white rose weeps, "She is late ;"
The larkspur listens, " I hear, I hear ;"
And the lily whispers, " I wait."
She is coming, my own, my sweet :
Were it ever so airy a tread,
My heart would hear her and beat,
Were it earth in an earthy bed ;
My dust would hear her and heat,
Had I lain for a century dead ;
Would start and tremble under her feet,
And blossom in purple and red.
This is the point on which the catastrophe
turns. The brother, who is typified by Mr. Tenny-
son somewhat singularly as an " Assyrian bull,"
beccmes acquainted with the intended meeting,
appears at the garden gate, insults and strikes
his sister's lover. This gives rise to the duel
already referred to, with its doubly fatal con,
sequences. As a whole, this volume will not
elevate its author to a higher pedestal than that
on which he previously stood, and some may
even doubt whether it will even do much to
sustainhim in the proud position he had previously
attained ; yet it breathes a freshness and natural-
ness 'of passion, and is adorned with 'so many
simple graces, and enriched with so much of
lustrous beauty, that it is welcome, doubly wel-
come, as a contrast to the horde of pretentious
rubbish which late years have thrown upon the
world under the lofty name of poetry.
The War, from the Landing at Gallipoli to the
Death of Lord Raglan. By W. H. Russell.
London : Routledge and Co.
This volume is a reprint of the ably-written
and widely-read letters which, from time to time,
appeared in the columns of the Times newspaper,
from the intrepid and well-qualified correspondent
of that journal at the seat of war. Such a volume,
though invaluable as a diary of events, accom-
panied by off-hand remarks on those events, as ,
they appeared to an intelligent observer, is
valuable in a high degree. It may well be doubted,
however, whether the abundant publicity the let-
ters acquired in the piecemeal freshness of their
original publication, was not in itself sufficient to
ensure all the purposes for which they were
written. In that form and manner they testified
abundantly to the assiduity, skilful observation,,
and fearless independence of their author. His
integrity of narrative and purpose received ample
and appalling confirmation from individuals not
likely to step out of their way for the purpose of
corroborating Mr. Russell in his statements.
Above all, their efficacy in leading to a correction
of those errors, mistakes, and abuses, which, he
was the unwilling though voluntary denouncer of,
was such as to have fully secured for them and
him all the honour and all the dignity to which,
in their present shape, they can lay claim. In
this view of the case, it may well be made a
question, how fir their present publication was
called for. As a literary work it will rather lessen
than extend his fame. As a man wielding and
ably wielding the pen of a ready writer, he already
stood so high as to need no adventitious aid, and
adventitious aid.alone is all his reputation in that
respect can gain from the re-issue of his letters.
Had he delayed the publication till time and con-
venience enabled him to lay before the world a
systematized narrative of the events he was wit-
ness to, and the results which have arisen from
them, his great ability, shrewdness, and abundant
opportunities of tracing effects to their causes
would have enabled him to render valuable service
to his country, in the way both of precept and
example. This would also have enabled him to
do more justice to his reputation as a man of
letters and reflection, than the mode he has
adopted. The choice of delay and permanent
value;or of celerity and evanescent fame, was within
his reach, and he has chosen the latter ; the issue
he has challenged he may yet regret. The world
having already and so recently passed a favour-
able judgment on his labours in the character
under which they appeared, those labours call for
no further present remark than the expression of
a hope, that they may meet with a large share of
that reward which he seems to think, and pro-
bably with justice, as preferable to fame.

WA-TER COMMITTEE.
The proceedings- of this committee included a repolt from
the Town-clerk; on' the subject of the actions brought against
Mr. Hawksley by Messrs; Francis, from which it appeared that
the action brought by Mr. Francis, senior, was in respect
the time alleged to have-been occupied by him, under emAy--
me-nt by Mr. Hawkoly; in superintending a series of experie
menta upon various descriptions- of iron, with the object of
ascertaining the suitability of Scotch iron for the 44 inch piper.
Those experiments had ie.-en:instituted by desire of the corpo-
ration.„ although the committee of that day had not been aware
&their being in progress. Withrespect to the action brought
by Mr.- Francis, the. ToWnederk, was- of opinion that if Mr.
Hawlthley were liable at all, he' ught tb'be indemnified by the
Town, Council, so far as respected; any time over which the
claim extended, in excess of the' period- originally defined by
the' contract,- namely, eighteen months: He recommended,
however,- that the defence of theactions • should remain . with
Mr. Htiwkeley's solicitors, and that the 'question of indemnity,
if it shouldbe necessary to consider it, should be postponed

Mr. Alderman BENNETT complah'ed that' speed mention-
had not been made of the Town-clerles- report in the notice

Mr. Duncan, the, water-engineer, presented to the eemmittee

My' Bennett called attention to a recommendation in that
report for the erection of a temporary additional engine at

recommendation, which, at a comparatively:- trifling-g- outlay,
would have. secured alarge additional supplyeof Wattr,had not
been earried out, declaring that as the committee -had omitted
to avail • themselves of this, they must be. held responsible.

supply of water within their reach, adding, that,if-a-fire-had
occurred, the effects of this- negitet might havcebeen: very

'so agitates society that the Chartist scum c_omes suddenly to

'impeach the Government and discomfit their defenders.
Again and again have the people of England given Ministers
to understand that they are thoroughly in earnest in their
desire to prosecute the war. Whenever that desire'has been
reciprocated, the' people hate rejoiced—so soon as indiCations
of lukewarinness have been manifested by our riders, the-
people have chaffed—each manifestation becoming warmer
and more angry. Can broader meanings be required: to'keep'
them in the path of duty ?- Public opinion is-not very subtle
in its logic ; but it is cleatand strong and pointed, and not
very often wrong in its-conclusions. . A few monthe- ago;
Lord PALMERSTON was its- idol, because it believed him'
willing and able to carry out' its wishes ; in this conviction
it beitowed on him a confidence. unbounded. Circumstances.

many other things which start with,large'pretensions, it seems
to have' speedily arrived at the unwettome. conviction of its
own impotence; The heterogeneotratmaterials- o which it was
composed have' already begun to LIU asunder. Already its
members-areat fend among themselves, Mr: Tic=', M.P., has

port was prodnccd'by the committee, the' diictiSsion orwhich

That the goveinor be directed to .select and recommend fit and,,
proper persons.„for such appointments, and, if necessary, to,
advertise for candidates for the,. additenal staff of disciplne„.
officers.
The CIA Lair's 1.1E201.---r% stated that, in compliance with:
the instructions of the cotAtnittee, he had made inquiry ft*, to
the practic4.in: gaols where.. the. system of separate confine-.
ment obtLins, and that nomnifottin system is obserrefLas to,
the proportion of teachers.employed, nor as to arraw,emeuts,
for visiting and instrmting:pri;;,eners. That on a comparison:
of the whole-from whichreturn.s had been obtained,the. Man-
cheste-4-system appears, the best and nearest to theoverage.;„
there. being.. there -one. teacher for about every 11,0:pri,soners...
The report suggested, that a similar ratio of teachers.to.tit
prisoners be. adoee.4,.whi:,,h, on the supposition. that all the
cells; are to. be. eec.upied,, would require four male - and tino.
female teachers;: and that these should reee4g. salaries of
from £65, to R. 30, for the male, and from :.E.!..10.t0.£524: to: the
female teachez!s..
The committee expressed acquiescence is the suggestions of
the Chaplain,,, and that he be authorised to select male and
female teachers, at. the salaries above-named in his report.
The committee's report also recommended the attention of the
Council being called to the necessity of providing a depot in
some central part of the town for the reception and sale of
articles manufactured at the gaol, The report of the com-
mittee further recommended the appointment of four instead
of nine male, and six instead et twelve female discipline
officers for the present. _
Mr. HORNBY moved the adoption of tho report, which was
seconded by Mr. B. Gladstone, the latter recommending that
it be printed.
After some discussion, in which Mr. Alderman Parker, Mr..
Picton, and Mr. J. Ho;me took part, the motion, with tike.
recommendation of Mr. Gladstone, was unanimously carried.

CHESHIRE AN]) WALES.
rHE price of gas in Birkenhead has been reduced from
£4 2s. 6d. per annum for each lamp to £3 15s. 3d., the reduced
sum including all repairs.
TILE EARL or ELLESMERE is on a visit to Runcorn, ac-
companied by his second son, and Faraday Smith, Esq. The
party are staying at the Bridgewater-house, Bottom Locks.
CHESTER CATTLE FAIR, AUGUST 7.—There was a very
poor fair, and little or no business transacted. There were
shown 198 cattle, 891 sheep, and 321 pigs. Beef and mutton
averaged about 7d. per lb.
On Wednesday morning, the body of Samuel Hulse, a.
captain of a narrow boat, was taken out of the canal, at the
bottom locks, Runcorn, and conveyed to the Bridgewater
Arms Inn, to await an inquest.
THE ship Royal Charter still remains at Sanclycroft in the
"fix" wherein she was left at the launch; renewed efforts
will be made to extricate her, during the high tides towards •
the end of this month.
No steps were taken at the recent Chester assizes for the
trial of William Knowles, charged with the murder of Johu
Matthews, the police officer at Oxton, on the 4th of Septem-
ber last, the prisoner still being confined in the asylum,. and
the medical men stating that he is a confirmed lunatic. •
Ix the heavy thunderstorm on Tuesday afternoon, a house
in Queen's Park, Chester, was' struck with lightning.- .The
roof was torn off, and the side walls have been split. The
female servant was covered with the rubbish from the ceiling
and roof, but was rescued without much injury.
ON Tuesday, when Lord Chief Justice Jervis took his seat
in the Nisi Prins Court at Chester, he stated that he never
had the slightest intention of retiring from the high office he
then held, nor had he ever made the slightest application for
a retiring pension.
RESPITE or MARGARET DAVIES. —A respite during the
Her Majesty's pleasure has been received by the Governor of
Ruthin gaol for the above-named prisoner, convicted at the
assizes last week of the wilful murder of her illegitimate child
by drowning it in a canal at Llangollen.
AT the meeting of the Birkenhead Commissioners, on Tues-
day night, Mr. John Laird applied for permission to construct
a tunnel under Ivy-street, from his ship-building yard to the
Monk's Ferry Station. It was stated that a committee had
been appointed to confer with Mr. Laird on that and other
matters.
ARCILOLOGY.—The annual meeting of the Archa-ological
Institute of Great Britain and Ireland commenced at
Shrewsbury on Tuesday. The weather was most unpropitious.
The programme includes excursions to Hawkstone battle field
(the scene of the battle between Henry V. and the Percies),
Buildwas and Wenlock Abbeys, Bromfield Priory and Ludlow
Castle, 11auglimond Abbey, Chirk Castle, and Vale Crutch
Abbey.
FEARFUL THUNDERBTORM.-021 Tuesday afternoon a fear-
ful thunderstorm burst over Chester and its vicinity. The
meadows were flooded, and some tons of hay were washed
down the swollen and turbid Dee. The cellars at the rail-
way refreshment-rooms were flooded, and the ale barrels
washed from the stillages. A portion of the Chester and
Birkenhead Railway was under water to the depth of a foot
and more, but no accident happened.
AN ANCIENT SHIP.—The ship that conveyed General
Wolfe to Quebec (now the property of Captain Robert Alagub,
of the Commercial Inn, at the Dock), has arrived at Pater,
from Leghorn, and is discharging a cargo of oats. We under-
stand that her mainmast was the flagstaff at Gibraltar, when
that celebrated fortress was taken by the English. She is
commanded by Captain William Magub, brother of the
owner, and the venerable ship is good on Lloyd's books, not-
withstanding her great age.— Welsh Paper.
STABBING AT BIRKENHEAD.—A boy, 16 years of age,
named James Gouldson, a striker at a foundry, was tried at
the Chester assizes, on Tuesday, for stabbing a boy named
Charles Young, at Birkenhead, on the 27th of July last. It
appears that the boys were gathering mushrooms in a field on
the day in question, and during a quarrel which took place
between them the prisoner struck the prosecutor with a knife.
He was found guilty; but as he received a good character
from his employer, he was sentenced to further imprisonment
for one week.
FIRE AND Loss OF THREE LIVES.—On Monday a public-
house called the Orange Tree, situate in Altrincham, kept by
Samuel Howard, was discovered to be on fire. The landlord,
his wife, and three children, were quickly aroused, and, with
the assistance of a lad'er, they escaped from their bedroom.
Three lads, and a servant-man, were still iu the building, the
flames baffling all their efforts to escape. The eldest son was
erot out insensible ; but, the conflagration having been got
under, search was made for the missing children and the ser-
vant, when their bodies were discovered in the bar, horribly
disfigured.
MORRIS V. TILE BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE, AND CHES-
HIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.—This was an action to
recover damages for injuries done to the plantations of a land-
owner at Hooton, by hot cinders which fell upon them, as was
alleged, in consequence of the funnels of the defendants not
being properly guarded, and also for the loss of several cob's
and other cattle, alleged to have been destroyed in consequence
of the defendants not putting up proper gates and fences. The
damages were laid at £l,OOO, but before the hearing it was
agreed to refer the cause to the land-agent of St. Philip
Egerton.
CAB FARES IN BIRKENHEAD.—At the Commissioners'
meeting, on Tuesday, Mr. Curry said that the sub-committee,
appointed to inquire into the subject of the cab fares, were not
yet fully prepared with a report, but they proposed to make a
scale of 6d. for half-a-mile, ls. for a mile, and so on, every frac-
tional part to be treated as half-a-mile. If this was approved
of, they then proposed to make a complete schedule of rates
for the township. They proposed that the rate should be ls.
to the Park grand entrance, although the distance was just
beyond the mile, because the carmen seemed to have esta-
blished that fare for themselves. The time rate was to be 2s.
per hour.
- TEMPERANCE GALA IN BIRKENITEAD PARR' —The
I hers of 29 total abstinence-societies of Liverpool and Birken-
head opened,'on Monday, a series of festive demonstrations. in
the Birkenhead park. But for the continuous raul which
prevailed on Monday and Tuesday, with the exception of a
few hours in the afternoon, the proceedings would doubtless
have been as gay and animated as could have been desired.
On Tuesday morning there was a flower show and exhibition
of fancy goods in the grand marquee. On Ilednesday, a pro.
cession of the various societies assembled was made through
the streets of Birkenhead. The comparative fineness of the
afternoon attracted many thousands to witness the procession,
and also the gala in the park. About eight o'clock in the
evening,
however, a heavy shower came on, and the affair was
terminated, as it began, in " heavy wet?'
CIIESTER ASSIZE.—The assize for the county of Chester
opened on Monday, before Lord Campbell, Chief Justice, and
Sir John Jervis, Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas.
Lord Campbell presided in the Crown Court, and Sir John
Jervis in the Nisi Prins Court. The calendar was more than
usually heavy, there being fifty prisoners for trial, four of
whom were charged with murder. The assizes terminated on
Wednesday afternoon. In the case of Catherine Luney, the
girl charged with murdering her illegitimate child, by throw-
ing it down a privy, at Norton, on the 27th of July last, the
grandjury threw out the bill for murder. She was tried,
however, for concealing the birth, and was sentenced to three
months' imprisonment.—Joseph Edwards, who was lately
committed at Birkenhead, for stabbing Joseph Rogers, in a
drunken quarrel, and admitted out on bail,did not surrender,
nor did the prosecutor appear. He will consequently be tried
at the next assizes.
THE Docxs AMALGIMAAION.—At the Birkenhead Com-
missioners' meeting, on Tuesday, a letter was read from Mr.
John Laird, describing his exertions in connexion with the.
amalgamation of the docks on both sides of the Mersey. Mr.
Laird's letter concludes in the following terms —" The mea-
sure just passed is one which it is well known I have for a
long time advocated, and I believe if properly carried out by
the Corporation, (which I have every reason to think will be
the case,) will conduce greatly to the prosperity of all classes
in the township, and I hope lead at a very early period to a
complete amalgamation of the interests on both sides of the
water, by placing Liverpool and Birkenhead on equitable
terms under one municipal government?' Alluding to Mr.
Laird's letter, the Chairman said he believed the transfer
would contribute materially to the prosperity of the town-
ship. He felt that Birkenhead would soon take that place
among the prosperous cities of England which it ought to do.
ATTEMPTED BURGLARY IN CHESIIIRE.—EarIy on Thurs-
day an attempt was made by five armed burglars to effect an
entrance into the residence of Captain James Newton, at
Cheadle-heath, between Cheadle and Stockport. The house is
near the turnpike road, and is separated by a wall 12 or 11
feet high from a farmhouse tenanted by Mr. Thomas Savage.
The brother of the latter, William Savage, who also lives at
the farm, returned home about two o'clock on Thursday
morning. When he got into the farm-yard lie heard a noise,
and he saw two ladders raised against the high wall dividing
the farm premises from Captain Newton's house and garden.
He went towards the spot, and was immediately thrown down
by two men, and presently he saw a third man, and two
others who appeared to have come down the ladders. All the
five then ran off towards the fields, but one of them, when
only about four yards off, turned round, and seeing that
Savage had regained his feet, discharged a pistol at him.
The ball passed through the upper part of his hat, and finding
himself unhurt, and seeing that the men were separating,
Savage made an attempt to capture the hindermost, and
seized him by the back of his coat collar. The man called
out, and, the other four returning to his assistance, Savage
was again overpowered, and left prostrate, after being struck
several times with a truncheon. As no one came to his
assistance, the men now got away, and Savage awoke his
brother. It was found that the robbers had taken two
ladders from the farm-yard of Mr. Elkanah Cheetham, about
200 yards distant, and a third from the premises of Mr.
Savage, and they were observed to carry with them a bag
or basket supposed to contain some iron implements. Pre-
vious attempts of the kind have been made upon the
same premises.
DisTnEssiNa OCCURRENCE.—On Saturday Mr. Edward
Harris, a pilot of the port of Cardiff, took his wife and six chil-
dren in his boat across the channel to Weston-super-Mare,
whence they again took boat, at about five o'clock, on the back
passage to Cardiff. About seven o'clock, on their nearing the
Cardiff sands (one of the most dangerous parts of the channel),
the boat refused to steer, and became unmanageable, and it
was then found that she had sprung a leak and was fast filling.
The father, mother, and elder children immediately applied
themselves to the pumps and to baling out the water, at which
they worked with desperate energy. To their horror, however,
they found that the labouring of the boat had opened the leak
wider, and that the water gained rapidly upon them. Their
terror was extreme, and when they saw the water covering the
deck, and no means of rescue at hand, the children gave
vent to piteous cries and sfirieks, which almost paralysed the
exertions of the father and mother. They hoisted signals of
distress, and again laboured at the pumps, but still no hope
presented itself. The mother now gave vent to an earnest
prayer for help, and raising her shawl for a signal, waved it
in the air. The signal was descried by the look-out on board
the sloop Dove, of Bideford, which immediately crowded all
sail, and bore down for the distressed boat. The interval was
one of the most harrowing kind. The water kept rapidly in-
creasing; the deck was first covered, then the water deepened,
so that its planks could not be seen. The wretched creatures
now almost abandoned hope. Some of the children clung
round the half-maddened parents, others clung to the mast
and rigging ; while the majority of them uttered shrieks and
lamentations. At length, as the boat began to sink, the sloop
got alongside. Harris, his wife, and some of the children
were quickly hauled into the Dove, and the sinking vessel,
lightened of some of her weight, rose a little. It was then
observed that one poor boy was still left on the sinking craft.
The captain of the sloop (Captain Belley) threw a rope to
him, which he lashed round his waist, and he was hoisted on
board the Dove, sustaining, however, in the effort, severe
injury of one of his feet. He had only sufficient time to reach
the deck when the boat went down, bow foremost, in deep
water. The captain of the Dove carried the pilot and his
family into Newport, where lodgings were provided for them
by the police.
RIOT AT WIIEXIIA3I.—On Tuesday, the neighbourhood of
Wrexham was thrown into a state of great alarm by upwards
of 5000 colliers turning out in consequence of a reduction of
their wages. So excited had the mob become that a great
number of them repaired to some of the agents' houses and
commenced demolishing the buildings. After some time had
elapsed the militia were called out, and the rioters were
ultimately dispersed. A large number of the turnouts have
since left the district for Scotland.
WELCO-ME HOME TO LIEUT.-COLONEL FEILDEN.—On
Saturday the village. of Bebington was the scene of a most
pleasin., demonstration. All will remember the attack on the
18th of June, when. the forlorn hope, under the command of
Major Feilden, of the 44th, made the successful diversion upon
the Cemetery, which they took and held the whole day. For
his intrepidity on that occasion Major Feilden was made lieut.-
colonel of his regiment. He has served in the whole campaign
in the Crimea, and besides the. gallant affair of the Cemeteries,
was under fire in the battles of Alma and Inkerman, for which-
he received the medal and clasps. He has passed through
these severe engagements without receiving a wound, though
his brother, Lieut. Henry Feilden, in the same regiment, has
been less fortunate, having been severely wounded at the attack
on the Redan. Colonel Feilden is thirty years of age. He
entered the army as ensign on the 20th of November, 1839 ;
was gazetted lieutenant October 4th, 1840 ; captain, February
27th, 1846; and major; March sth, 1853, being then only
twenty-eight years of age. As soon as it had become known
that Lieut.-0;1one' Feilden had returned to England, and would
arrive at Bebington on Saturday evening, the -parishioners
assembled for the purpose of making arrangements for a suit-
able demonstration on the occasion. It was unanimously re-
solved that an address should be presented, that the village
should be decorated with flags, the bells of the parish church
rung, and that a procession should be formed to meet the train
by which the colonel was expected to arrive from London.
—On the arrival of the train at the Bebington Station, Lieut.-
Col. Fielden and his sister, who had been to meet him, were
escorted to the carriage in waiting, which was drawn to the
rectory by twelve of the parishioners, amidst the plaudits of
the throng, the bands playing " See the conquering hero
comes," and other airs. After the band marched about, 200
school-children, followed by .the gentry two and two, with
ribbons at their button-holes; then the flag-bearers; and
next the carriage, the miscellaneous and enthusiastic vil-
lagers bringing up the rear. Arrived at the rectory, Mr.
John Deane Case, one of the magistrates of the county, and to
whom had been deputed the duty of presenting the address,
proceeded to do so, and it was appropriately acknowledged.—
The Rev. R. M. Fielden next addressed his' parishioners,
thanking them for the honour they had done his noble son.
He had perhaps more reason to shout than any of them, in
his gratitude to God for having sent back his clear boy un-
scathed, after passing through the dangers of the campaign
thus far; thankful that both his sons had been spared, though
one, the lieutenant, had been wounded, and at present he did
not know to what extent. He had hoped that he would have
been able to come with his brother, but that was found to be:
impossible, owing to the nature of his wounds. Poor Captain
Gipps, too, of the Fusilier Guards, whom many of them would
remember, was anxious to come down with the Colonel, but
he had been unable to do so. After some further "observa-
tions, the rector again thanked them for this spontaneous
evidence of their feelings towards his son, and retired with
the colonel into the rectory.—The assemblage gradually left
the. grounds, and the festivities, which were general through-
out the village, were kept up until a seasonable hour.—Before
the arrival of the colonel, the committee and their friends
dined together at the Rose and Crown. Among those present
were, Mr. J. D. Case, in the chair, supported by the Rev. R.
M. Feilden, the Rev. J. M. Brown, Mr. Clarke Aspinall, and
the Rev. J. Franks, besides whom there were Messrs. Graham.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
FRANCE.—The correspondent of the Times having alluded
to the arrest of an Italian at Bayonne, who had. followed the
Emperor from Paris, now furnishes a private letter from
Bayonne, which says :—" Au individual, an Italian by birth,
left Paris at the same time as the Emperor did. He took the
mail post, or the railroad at Bordeaux, and arrived at
Biarritz before or at the same time as the Emperor, and from
that moment he did his utmost to approach him, and to
introduce himself into the chateau. His movements excited
the suspicion of one of the police agents, who arrested him
with five or six others who accompanied him, no doubt, to
give aid if necessary. 'The Italian was found armed with a
sharp poniard unsheathed, and also with a double-barrellefl
pistol loaded. The exterior of this person, his manners, and
his costume were those of one in the better class of society.
While I am writing I am informed that the police agent who
arrested the Italian bad followed him from Paris, had made.
acquaintance with him, and had even occcupied the same
room with him."
General Canrobert is ordered to return home from the
Crimea, his health being seriously affected. It is said that he
is to be created a Marshal immediately on his arrival in Paris.
General M`Malion succeeds to the command of General Can-
robert's
ITALY.—The Austrian government is daily gaining power
at Rome, at the expense necessarily of the French. Of the
twelve gates of Rome only three are now held by the French,
viz., the Cavalleggieri, leading to Civita Vecchia ; the Porta
del Popolo, leading to Tuscany and Romagna ; and the Porta
San Giovanni, on the road to Naples.
SPAIN.—The Madrid correspondent of La Presse writes
under date of August 4 :—" Notwithstanding all the tele-
graphic despatches to the contrary, the Spanish government
has resolved to join the alliance of the Western Powers. The
number of the contingent is not yet fixed, but 25,000 men are
spoken of."
The corvogpondent of the Independence writes on the 3rd :
" The resolution of the Spanish govermucut is taken. Mar-
shal O'Donnell has returned from the Escurial, where he has
passed two days with the Queen. On his arrival a long and
interesting cabinet council was held, and it was decided that
Spain should join the Western Alliance, and furnish a contin-
gent of 25,000 men. This resolution was notified yesterday
evening to the ministers of France and England. At the
council Marshal O'Donnell and General Zabala took the lead
in advocating the alliance, M. Huelves promptly adhered to
the* opinions, the Minister of Grace and Justice was unde-
cided, and the young Alonzo Martinez, minister of public
works, was opposed to the policy proposed. The Ministers of
War and Finance withheld their opinions until Espartero
should declare himself. At first the Marshal was opposed to
the project, but he has since acquiesced in the arguments of
O'Donnell and Zabala. The government will have to luing
the matter before the Cortes, as the latter must vote the funds
for the expedition. It is said that General Prim will -be ad-
vanced to the rank of lieut.-general, and appointed to com-
mand the expedition.
AUSTRIA..--A new circular despatch has lately been seat b;
the Cabinet of Vienna to all the representatives of Austria at
foreign courts, in reference to the federal resolution of
July 20.—A letter from Vienna, dated the 4th, says :—" Yes-
terday- evening the Duke de Montponsier paid a visit to the
Count de Chambord, who had arrived from Frohsdorf. The
interview between the two Princes lasted an hour. This
morning at eleven o'clock the Count de Chambord returned
the visit, which was of similar duration. The Duke de Mont-
pensier has left this evening for Prague on his way to Gotha,
and the Count de Chambord has returned to Frohsdorf."
THE ITALIAN OPERA closed on Saturday night. Contrary
to anticipation, it has been the most successful for years.
THE EMPEROR or RUSSIA, it is said, rill be crowned at
Moscow in the autumn.
GENERAL PYM is spoken of as likely to be nominated as
Commander-in-Chief of the Spanish Contingent for the Crimea.
ROBERT HANCOCK, a labourer, residing at Northam, North
Devon, murdered his wife on Friday week, by striking her
over the head with a hammer, and then cutting her throat.
He has been committed on the coroner's warrant for murder.
A MELANCUOLY ACCIDENT occurred at the farm of Helm-
burn, in Ettrick, on Thursday. A young gentleman, Mr.
John Brown, accompanied by a farm labourer, named George
Charteris, had taken shelter from the rain in the lee of an old
wall. The wall suddenly fell, and killed both.—Border Ad-
vertiser. .
THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO FIANCE.—A Paris correspondent
says that, as the moment of Queen Victoria's visit to Paris
draws near, crowds of English from all parts of the globe are
pouring into Paris. " The streets, gardens, cafes, squares,
museums, are thronged with Englishmen. Englishmen take
possession of the orchestra stalls, and the restaurants ; and
it is almost impossible to find any one you can speak to in the
midst of this frightful dash of English, Scotch, and Irish
patois, the jargon of the Welsh mixing with the broken
gibberish of the people from London. Upon the walls you see
nothing but English bills posted up. English spoken here ;'
there is not a shop where you do not read this charitable
notice. You enter, and find that they speak English by
signs ! London is no lon7er in Hyde-park, in Regent-street,
in Beigrave-square, nor Greenwich, but at the Tuileries, upon
the Boulevards, and at the Champs ElyS6e,S."
SUICIDE OF A GnaL.—On Tuesday, the body of a female,
twelve years of age, was found in the River Nene, near Peter-
borough-bridge. It was identified as that of Alice, daughter
of Mr. Green, tailor, of Newton, Peterborough. At the
coroner's inquest, John Jackson, an intelligent lad. thirteen
years.of age, deposed that lie had known the deceased all his
life. He was with her on Monday afternoon, with his sister
and two other girls about the same age, in Gibson's garden.
The clock struck a quarter to ten as witness and deceased
went together as far as a shop near the Corn Exchange, where
the deceased asked witness whether he was going home. He
said yes, and asked her if she was. Shereplied " she dare not,
as her mother swore she would kill her." Witness took hold
of her hand to persuade her. She sat down on the slabs, and.
said, "she thought she should go and drown herself." Wit-
ness asked her how she liked the fireworks, when she said,
"Don't speak to anybody when they are miserable." That
was all that passed. Witness turned down Queen-street to
go home, and the deceased got up and walked down St. John-
street, and he SAW no more of her. Henry Jauncery, constable,
saw the deceased on the bridge about ten o'clock on Monday
night, and asked her what she did there ; and, receiving no
reply, said to her "You're not going to drown yourself, are
you ?" She said, "No, sir," and went away. The coroner
explained the law in the case to the jury, who returned a ver-
dict that "the deceased drowned herself through fear."—
Stamford Mercury.
FEARFUL STORM IN TIIE ISLAND OP SKYE.—On Tues-
day evening, towards six o'clock, Rhuendunan, the residence
of Hugh MacaSkill,
.Esq., was visited by a most dreadful
storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied by heavy tor-
rents of rain. The river which flows from the Coolin Moun-
tains had, during the course of the storm, been gradually
rising, until at length it burst forth with uncontrollable fury,
overflowing its banks. In the space of about ten minutes the
river had carried away the garden wall, burst into the house
with alarming violence, causing the greatest terror and con-
fusion. The inmates, with great difficulty, struggled through
the water, already three feet deep, and were conveyed into a
park, there to await what appeared to be inevitable death.
One young lady sank twice beneath the violence of the cur-
rent, and was with difficulty rescued from her perilous situa-
tion by the gallant conduct of a gentleman who, along with a
young lady at present on a visit to Mr. Macaskill, contributed
not a little towards preserving the presence of mind and
cheering the drooping spirits of the terror-stricken party. In
the meanwhile, the rush of waters continued with undi-
minished violence, carrying away bridges, walls, and every-
thing that impeded its course, rendering the situation of the
party hourly more G'a'ming. Some shepherds stormstayed in
the mountains declared that the rocks shook as if by an earth-
quake, whilst a thunderbolt, falling within ten yards of the
house, completed the gloomy horrors.of the scene. The party
were, after a short deliberation; carried with difficulty to an
outer loft, where they,awaitedwitii intense anxiety the abating
of the flood. Tit storm, after having lasted about three
hours, decreased an violence,. allowing the inmates once more
to return to. titeit.desolate.-abode.—Scotch Paper..

PROVISIONS.
LIVERPOOL, Auo. 10.—The demand for beet has been more
extensive this week than for some time past ; purchasers confine
themselves, however, to their immediate wants. Prices remain
unchanged. In pork, also, we have to note more activity, a con-
siderable business having been transacted at a slight concession
in price. Bacon has moved off pretty freely at full rates, and the
stock in first hands is becoming fast reduced. The sales of lard
have been very limited, even at a reduction of 3d to 6d per cwt.
Choice parcels of cheese are readily sold at extreme prices, whilst
middling and inferior sorts are very hard to quit. Grease butter
is in request, but there is very little here.
AUGUST 13.—Tnere was only a limited amount of business
transacted in butter last week, but owing to the continued high
advices from Ireland holders are pretty firm, and no alteration
can be made in the quotations of our last report. Waterford,
Dungarvon, Carrick, and Clonmel, 95s to 995; Kilkenny, Carlow,
and Wexford, 94s to 96s ; and Limerick, 88s to 94s per cwt.
landed. Imported from Ireland, front the 4th to the 9th instant,

CORN
LIVERPOOL, Atm. IO.—A limited attendance of either local
or country millers and dealers at market this morning. and the
weather being very fine the trade ruled exceedingly flat. The
business in wheat, of any sort, is of the merest retail description,
and at somewhat irregular rates ; we may quote en average
decline of 3d per bushel from the currencies of Tuesday; and
flour, with an equally slow inquiry, must be noted Is per sack
cheaper. Barley and beans are nominally unaltere•l either in
value or demand. Oats are steady, and there was a moderate sale
for oatmeal at about late prices. Indian corn is very dull to-day
at a reduction of (id to I s. per quarter.

flour was eficv.'d at a rclucion of Is to Is 6(1 per sack, hut Spanish
was oily Gd per sack cheaper. Oats and oatmeal on the contrary
were a little dearer, the former Id per bushel, and the latter Gd
per load. Beans brought fully as much money.
PRESTON, Auo. IL—There was a poor show of English wheat
at the Corn Exchange to-day, the demand for which was slow at
a decline of Is per windle, and upon parcels in granary a similar
reduction was submitted to. Flour dull, and Is per pack lower.
Beans as before. Oats nearly nominal. Oatmeal still neglected,
though offered at an abatement of 6d per load.
WAKEFIELD, Auo. 3.—Although the trade is not so depressed
as at Leeds on Tuesday, wheat must be quoted Is to 2s per quarter
lower than on this day week, with a limited business. In barley,
beans, oats, and shelling there is no alteration to report.
WISBECH, AUG. 11.—There has been a small show of whe it at
market to-day ; last week's rates are fully supported, but a few
fine parcels make Is. more. Beans, oats, &c., nominal.
NEWCASTLE-UPON TYNE, AUG. 11.—At to-day's market,
with a moderate show of farmers' wheat, prices ruled about the
same as on this day se'nnight. South country and foreign wheats
were is per quarter dearer than on Tuesday, or nearly Is per
quarter below the rates of last Saturday. Norfolk red wheat sold
at 775, W'olgast at 775, fine Holstein 75s per quarter 63Ibs, per
bushel. Barley is little inquired after, and worth only 33s to 34s
per quarter 5611)5. per bushel. Scotch oats hare been sold during
the week at 32s per quarter 4211)5. per bushel, but to-day met a
very slow sale. In other articles no change.
CORK Auo. IL—Weather continues unsettled, showery, and
warm. Holders of breadstuffs are indifferent about sales, and
prices are well sustained ; while buyers are reserved in their
operations and evince little speculative feeling, but, stocks being
light, a fair consumers' business is done. Harvest has partially
commenced, and samples look well. The potato crop is suffering
in about the same proportion as the last two years.
DUBLIN, AUG. 10.—Our corn market to-day was again very
dull for every description of grain, without any alteration in the
prices of Tuesday. A few small samples of new oats appeared—
the condition and quality indifferent ; the tawny were taken at
15e, and the white at Is per barrel.

LIVERPOOL, AUG. I3.—With a small increase of beasts at
this day's market trade has ruled more active at nearly id per lb.
improvement on last week's rates. There has been a considerable
falling off from our late very extensive supplies of sheep and
lambs, chiefly the latter, consequently the trade ruled firmer, but
not quotably dearer. Beef, 6kd to 7d ; mutton, 6id to 7d ; and
lamb, bid to 7d per lb. Cattle, 1,767; sheep and lambs, 16,240.
SALFORD, Auo. B.—The market to-day was very steady at
former rates. There was only a small number left unsold. Best
beef, 6id to lid; middling, sid to 6d; cows, 5d to 54(1; best
wedders, in wool, 6id to 71d ; clipped, 6d to bid ; ewes, 5d to ;
lambs, bid to lad; calves, 5d to 6d. Number of beasts, 786;
sheep and lambs, 9,376; calves, 91.
DUBLIN, Auo. 9.—With a very fine day, and from the high
prices heretofore had for meat, the supply was larger than for
some time past. Demand for prime meat good, but inferior dull
at reduced quotations. Beef, sinking offal, 56s to 58s and 63s per
cwt; mutton, sil to 6d and 7d; veal, 7d to 8d per lb ; lambs, 188
to 28s each. Pigs, in carcase, 6d per Ib ; heavy not quoted.

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.
MONDAY MORNING.
THE last week of the present parliamentary session has been
expended in the prosecution of labours which form a worthy
sequel to the work in which honourable members have been
engaged, with few intervals of useful occupation, since the day
of its opening in January last—every bit of legislation has been
hurried and bungled as if the members were weary of their
work. The only labour which has been performed con amore
has been the creditable task of blackening the character of
ministers; and this has generally devolved upon themselves,
or been volunteered by one of their ex-colleagues. This dis-
reputable office was initiated by Lord JoRN RUSSELL, and it
has fallen to his lordship's lot appropriately to close the session
as he opened it, by the liberal distribution of abuse, and the
plentiful sowing of the seeds of dissension among his quondam
colleagues.
On Tuesday, in accordance with a hint which he had pre-
viously dropped, and to which he had made allusion on the
preceding day, Lord JOHN, taking advantage of the third
reading of the Consolidated Fund Bill, delivered himself of an
oration which admittedly eclipses all his former efforts at wan-
ton mischief, and stands unique in the annals of party warfare.
From the few first sentences which grace the opening of that
singular address, and even from the terms in which
he chose previously to allude to it, no one could very
clearly divine what exact object he had in view,
although all who were in any degree conversant with the
waspishness of his disposition augured from its very ambiguity
that he meant mischief. The few initiatory sentences; delivered
as they were, in a deprecatory tone, led to the conjecture that
he meant the effort, for an effort it evidently was, to end in a sort
of wind-up address, reviewing the proceedings of the session
with a view to re-establishing himself in the good, graces of
the House and of the country, which he obviously felt he had
forfeited. It is not unlikely that such was his real intention—
nay, more, it is far from improbable that he actually deceived
himself into a belief that by such a course he was again worm-
ing his way into popular favour. If such were-hisdesire; he
has lamentably mistaken his own position, and singularly un-
derrated public perspicacity. In the course of his protracted,
political life, Lord JOHN has indeed played many parts, not a
few of the least creditable being crowded into the antics-per-
formed by him during the session now closing. For many
years the world regarded the proceedings of Lord Jog. s Rus-
SELL as expository of the feelings of a largeseetion of the politi-
cal society of England. A little more self-command—a, little
more management on his part—would have maintained the de-
lusion, and enabled him to strut the remainder of his brief hour
upon the stage bedizened in the borrowed plumagewhichno one
deemed it worth his while to strip him of. By his own act he has
fallen from the place he laboured so hard and so unscrupu-
lously to attain. He has dropped from that high position, as
he had previously descended from others to which, greater
fame and prouder emoluments were attached. He.now stands
exposed a recreant Briton—a paltry marplot—a. worthy, be-
cause a craven, colleague of the peace-a&-any-price men, who
are repudiated and condemned by every class- of Englishmen..
In his last, and sincerely to be hoped it is politically his dying.
speech, he traversed every point of foreign policy on. which
he could expect to fix a greviance, or into which he could hope
to insert an internal machine, with any chance of creating.
au explosion. As the Times truly says, "there is slot- a sore
point in European politics, there is not a place where the fire
still glows under the treacherous ashes, that Lord. Jonas Run-
SELL does not stir up with the recklessness of a novice, or the
artifice of a less amiable character ; " and all wish the. single
and sole and obviously malicious intention of damaging his
quondam colleagues. Yet this man is a British senator, was
once the potent leader of a powerful party, was recently a Mi-
nister of state, the representative of his Sovereign at a European
Congress, and is still the sworn councillor of that betrayed and
insulted Sovereign! Lord JOHN was. one of those who counselled
the war; and, if we may credit his own assertion, he quar-
relled with and broke up one Cabinet of which he was a mem-
ber, because their conduct of the war was not sufficiently
energetic to meet the requirements of his burning zeal. "What,
then, does he mean by the dolorous reference he made to the
expense of that war which he at first approved of—which, till
within a few brief months, he was ready to go to combat with his
colleagues for the eager prosecution of—and which, but yes-
terday as it were, he told the wondering world he still ap-
proves of ? Having stumbled and fallen from his place of
pride, was he stooping his neck and courting the yoke of Catit-
DEN ? His lordship next directed his dimmed vision to thd
Baltic, and there he discovered that the state of our naval
armament is not such as to ensure speedy victory, against an
enemy we cannot reach, and who sedulously avoids approach-
ing us. Oh, shame, where was thy blush, when Lord Jons
RUSSELL uttered disapprobation founded on such a plea?
Was he not a member of that Cabinet which delayed or refused
to construct gun-boats which would have enabled our gallant
sailors to seek those foes who are afraid to meet them ? From
the forbearance he displayed towards the ABERDEEN Cabinet,
and from that he now exhibits towards the Ministry of Lord
PALMERSTON, are we to infer that he alone insisted on the
Baltic fleet being fitted and equipped in such a manner as to
confer efficiency of action on it ? Every act, every declara-
tion, every whisper he has made known, forbids the monstrous
supposition. The annals of party turpitude furnish no parallel
to, the effrontery and baseness combined in such a course as
that pursued by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in reference to these
matters. He does not, however, confine himself to these, but,
stalking over the general policy of the two last Cabinets, he
reviews and reprobates each act and intention in succession.
He complains that the Foreign Enlistment Bill has failed in
its object ; but seemingly forgets that being a party to its en-
actment he must bear some share of its responsibility. He is
next querulous as to the great force sent by the allies to the
Crimea, and asserts with ill-concealed gratification that that
force will be speedily met by a "large Russian army, that
army being now augmented by troops sent from Poland
and from other frontiers of Russia bordering on the Aus-
trian empire, which are now set free owing to the present
policy of Austria ;" out of which comfortable state of matters
the patriotic plenipotentiary pleasantly foretels the vexed
ocean of party squabbles which awaits Ministers in the
next session of Parliament, and which without doubt will be
kept as hot and turbulent as he can make it, if he be permitted

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
will be said, seems as 'uncertain as 'Crimean weather. I
heard a few days ago from a French officer of artillery, that
Pelissier, being asked when offensive siege operations would.
be again resumed, said, " Well, I don't know ; the Russians
are losing every day 300 or 400 men by-sickness. If we wait
a week they will have lost a brigade, if we-wait a month they
will have lost a corps d'arm6e. But, if- the Russians lose
many men by sickness, they seem to be careful to replace
them again. Numbers of stories are ailoat about the formid-
able forces which have come and are -still coming down this
way, and apprehensions of an attack on- the Tchernaya line
are daily gaining more ground.
In the meantime not even the most powerful telescopes are
able to discover anything of the approach of this formidable
force, and the Russians content themselves with firing a shot
now and then from the batteries on - the Mackenzie-ridge at
the harmless sheep and cattle sent by the French over the
Tchernaya to graze, or on the horses_going down for water.
The Turks are still mooning about, and waiting Omar
Pasha's arrival, which is postponed from day to day. One
battalion of them has been ordered, down into the valley of
Baidar to cut grass. In order to prevent confusion a line of
demarcation has been drawn, which, separates the French
from the Turkish foragers. Baidar seems to be an inex-
haustible source of hay. Notwithstanding the systematic
collection of the French, and the -continual drain on its
resources by private enterprises from all armies, a great quan-
tity is still remaining on the hill sides, which, owing to the
neighbourhood of the Russians, are rather less frequented
than the more open parts of the Nalley. It is likewise an
inexhaustible store of wood. The Turks have cut a good deal
for zemliks (huts), but in their continual moving about they
seem to be uncertain where to take it, so it remains there for
the present.
The London Gazette contains a despatch from General
Simpson, dated BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, JULY 28.
My Lord,—Since my despatch of the 24th instant I have
nothing of importance to relate to you. We continue to
strengthen and improve our advanced works, which are now
so close to the enemy's defences that I regret to say our casual-
ties are necessarily considerable.
' The enemy exhibit great activity in adding to and im-
proving their defences, and the conveyance of large military
stores from the north to the south side is increasing.
I beg to transmit the list of casualties to the 26th instant,
and the confidential fortnight reports of the generals of divi-
sion and brigade.
The cholera has nearly ceased in the ranks of the army.—
I have, &c., JAMBS SIMPSON,
Lieutenant-General Commanding.
The total casualties are-20 rank and file killed ; 1 officer, 4
sergeants, 1 drummer, 133 rank and file wounded.
The Moniteur of Thursday publishesa telegraphic despatch
from General Pelissier to the Minister of War, dated the 7th
of August, 11 p.m. It is as follows :—I have nothing of
interest to communicate to you. The enemy has not under-
taken anything against our trenches. Some cases of cholera
have reappeared.
THE BALTIC.
THERE are now in the Baltic 85 English vessels of war,
mounting 2,098 guns ; 16 French vessels of war, mounting
408 guns. In the combined fleet there are 23 line-of-battle
ships, with 1,853 guns ; 31 frigates and corvettes, with 554 ;
29 smaller steamers and gunboats, with 78 guns ; 18 mortar-
boats and other craft, with 21 guns ; in all, 101 vessels,
mounting 2,506 guns.
Admiral Dmidas's despatch encloses a report from Captain Yel-
verton, of the Arrogant, of the destruction of barracks, maga-
zines, and stores at Kotka. Captain Yelverton's letter is
dated from " the Arrogant, off the Mouth of the Kymene,
July 28," and says that—
" Very early on the 26th I was joined, off the Island of
Hogland, by the Cossack and Magicienne, bringing with
them the mortar-vessels Prompt, Pickle, Rocket, and
Blazer. I stood immediately to the northward, leaving the
Ruby to bring on the gunboats, which were not then in sight.
They joined at noon, and at two p.m. we all anchored off Fort
Rotsensholm.
As the safety of our expedition rested chiefly on our invest-
ing and holding the entire possession of the fortified island of
Kotka, I determined upon taking it at once. Accordingly I
anchored the mortar-vessels out of range, and, leaving two
gunboats to look after them, I proceeded with the rest of the
vessels to the westward of Kotka for the purpose of destroying
the bridge, so as to cut off the retreat of the garrison, and
prevent their receiving reinforcements from the mainland.
Captain Vansittart, of the Magicienne, with his accustomed
zeal and activity, threaded his way at once through the
shoals, and destroyed the bridge. As soon as all the vessels
had anchored, so as to command the great mililary road lead-
ing from the fort of Hogfors Holm, and also the channel
dividing the island from the main, I landed all the marines,
under command of Captain S. N. Lowder, R.N., with Lieut.
George D. Dowell, R.M.A., and Lieuts. H. C. Mudge and P.
R. Holmes, R.M., who took possession without being opposed,
as the garrison (no doubt apprised of our coming by the tele-
graphs along the coast) had very recently evacuated it, leaving
behind them a large amount of military stores, which have
since been burnt. The Crown property destoyed by Captain
Lowder included barracks, magazines, ordnance stores, store-
houses, stables, guardhouses, and other Government buildings,
with an immense amount of timber intended for building and
other military purposes.
The following morning I weighed, leaving Captain Fanshawe
with the Cossack in charge of this most important point, which
required the utmost care and attention, as the enemy on seve-
ral occasions threw out reconnoitring parties, as if inclined to
attempt the recovery of the island.
Owing to a change of wind to the eastward, I regret to say
that the village caught fire from some government buildings,
and I fear much injury was done to it. It is, however, a source
of congratulation to be able to add that the fine church on the
island sustained no damage whatever, owing to the precautions
that were immediately taken to save it.
On Tuesday a further series of official letters relating to the
attack on the English boat's crew at Hangoe, on the sth of
June, was presented to parliament. Lieut. Geneste's statement,
together with the letter of Admiral Dundas to the Russian
Minister of War, in which it is compared with the accounts
put forward by the Russian authorities, are given in full.
Lieut. Geneste's narrative only confirms the former accounts,
that the Russians deliberately fired upon them, and took them
prisoners while they were displaying a flag of truce. He
anticipates being set at liberty speedily, as they were taken
under a flag of truce; but what increases the infamy of Russia
in this matter is, that there appears no regret, nor any inten-
tion to do common justice, by instantly releasing the prisoners
so disgracefully obtained.
DANTSIC, Friday, August 10, 3 p.m.
The Jupiter transport steamer has arrived.
On the 6th the English and a portion of the French fleet
weighed from Nargen, and anchored the same day off Swea-
borg.
On the 7th the two fleets were drawn up in front of Swea-
borg.
The bombardmant of that place was to commence on the
same afternoon.
It is understood that in all renewals of steam contracts for
the government transport service the terms are now reduced
from 50s. per ton to 455. or 4Cs.
The thirteen British naval officers and midshipmen of the
Tiger, lost near Odessa, have arrived at Stettin, on their way
to England, having been exchanged for Russians.
During the funeral of Lord Raglan, not a Russian gun was
fired. In return, so soon as the church bells began tolling,
announcing the interment of Admiral Nachimoff, all the bat-
teries were silenced.
IT is intended to raise a Canadian Legion, to be commanded
by the Duke of Cambridge. The commissions will be con-
ferred upon Canadian gentlemen, or officers settled in the
province, and the corps therefore will be national.
THE LATE COLONEL SHADFORTIL—Letters of condolence
have been addressed by the Lieut.-Colonel and the Colour-
Sergeant and acting Sergeant-Major, of the 57th Regiment,
from the camp before Sebastopol, to the widow of the late
Colonel, who was killed in the attack on the Redan, on the
18th June. These letters severally express the regrets of the
officers and men at the painful event. Her Majesty has signed
a warrant granting a pension of £2OO a-year to Mrs. Shadforth.
The following is from a soldier's letter printed by the Kil-
marnock Chronicle :—" The other night I was on the en-
trenchments, and a good number of us were sitting together
amusing ourselves. One was singing a song called ' Mary,
weep no mere for me,' in which occur these beautiful lines—
' Far, far from thee I sleep in death,
So, Mary, weep no more for me,'
when a shell came in and burst among us, and killed the man
while he was singing the song. He died in an instant."
CONTRACTS FOR WINTER CLOTHING, &C.—The govern-
ment has entered into extensive contracts for the fur clothing
for the troops in the Crimea. The number to be supplied is,
coats, lined with rabbit fur, 45,000, trousers, ditto, 45,000,
and fur waistcoats, 45,000; 10,000 of each of the foregoing
articles of better description are also to be supplied. The
waterproof clothing contracted for is to consist of 50,000
cloaks with sleeves, 50,000 capes, and 60,000 ox-hide boots,
impervious to snow-water. The greater portion of the
above-mentioned is to be delivered into store by the Ist of
September.
MEMORIAL TO THE LATE LORD RAGLAN. —A second
meeting took place at the mansion of the Duke of Richmond.
in Portland-place, London, on Tuesday, when it was moved
by the Duke of Bedford, seconded by Lieut.-General Sir
George Brown, and carried unanimously—" That it is the
opinion of this meeting that a freehold estate purchased and
entailed on the title and descendants of Field-Marshal the late
Lord Raglan would be a most desirable memorial of the great
public services and private worth of that nobleman ; and, the
better to carry that object into execution, it is resolved that
subscriptions for the purpose be opened at bankers, army
agents, and any other places that may hereafter be determined
on." The memorial committee intend to purchase for the
proposed estate the land adjoining Raglan Castle, which gave
the deceased lord his title. The subscriptions paid into the
bankers at present amount to £5,111.
A FRENCH STRATAGEM.—At the attack of the Mamelon,
on the 7th, the signal given was six rockets from the Victoria
Redoubt. Under the impression that the besieged would pro-
bably for the future keep a good look-out for demonstrations
of this nature, the French, not many days since, made the
same signal, and accompanied it with the roll of drums in the
trenches towards the front, and words of command, given in
a loud tone. The result justified their anticipations, as the
Russian bugles sounded the assembly, and their troops were
seen crowding into the Malakhoff, ready to repel the supposed
premeditated attack. Immediately the guns and mortars
bearing on the threatened point poured forth their iron hail.
Grape, canister, and shells fell among the besieged " fast and
furious," and only ceased when the fire from the enemy showed
that the panic had passed away. On the whole this ruse de
guerre was satisfactory in the extreme to all concerned, except
the sufferers.—Daily News.
TIIE WELLINGTON COLLEGE.—For the institution de-
signed as a permanent memorial of the late duke,ue the sum of
£109,000 bas been already subscribed, t 0 more is
wanting to carry out the designs of the committee. The
Queen and Court are going to patronise a grandfae—at
which 500 soldiers of the Guards and line regiments are going
to take part in the capture of a miniature Sebastopol—in
CremorneiGardens, on Monday next, in aid of the fund.
LIFE IN NerLEs.—A correspondent of The Times, describ-
ing excesses committed by the police in Naples, under the
pretext of duty to the state, says—" In fact, the present is a
time in which the most savage and brutal excesses are com-
mitted ; the common humanities of life are violated, the pri.
vary of families invaded ; men are treated like beasts, impri.
soned, flogged, and knocked down in the street,. whence
they are hurried off to .a hospital and thence to prison, and
my great fear is that the people may .be goaded nto acts
which the more prudent do all in their power, to prevent.
I sometimes ask myself, too, are the police authorities secret
enemies of the King, attempting to undermine his power?
If so, they are doing their bidding well."
PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGE.ATE.
HOUSE' OF LORDS..
TUESDAY.
The New River Company and Trustees of the River Lea
(2) Bill was read a third time, and passed.—The Inverness '
Bridge Bill was read a second time.
LIMITED LIABILITY.—Lord STANLEY of Alderley moved
the suspension of the order of the house with respect to
measures brought up from the lower house in the case of
the Limited Liability Bill.—Lord REDESDALE opposed the
motion on the ground that no case of urgency had been made
out.—Lord GRANVILLE denied that Lord Redesdale had
given any valid reason for refusing to proceed with the bill,
which was one imperatively called for by the interests of the
public.—Lord GREY was astonished at the course pursued by
the government in thus pressing forward, contrary to a deli-
berate resolution of the house, a measure which especially
demanded mature consideration. He did not believe that the
interests of the commercial community called for this bill,
which was brought in to answer the purposes of speculators in
bubble companies. He felt so strongly on this point that he
had returned to town expressly to oppose the bill, which, he
was convinced, would have pernicious effects.—The Marquis
of CLANRICARDE denied that the bill was fraught with the
evils depicted by Lord Grey. He thought that the resolution
of the house might be suspended with advantage in
this case, and he hoped that the house would proceed with
the consideration of the bill, even if it sat till September.--
Lord ST. LEONARDS protested, in the name of the Lords who
sat on that side of the house, against pressing forward a mea-
sure of such immense commercial importance at this advanced
period of the session.—The LORD CHANCELLOR replied, and
their lordships divided on the question of suspending the re-
solution, which was carried by 38 to 14.—Lord STANLEY of
Alderley, in moving the second reading of the bill, said,
that the present state of the law required amendment, because
it tended to drive British capital into other countries where
similar obstacles to its employment did not exist. An illus-
tration of this came under his own observation shortly after
he went to the Board of Trade. An application was made to
that board by a large steam navigation company, which wished
to obtain limited liability for the establishment of a commu-
nication between this country and Canada. This application
was resisted with great obstinacy by the directors of Canard's
line and other existing companies, and the result was that a
charter was refused to the parties. This case convinced him
of the very objectionable state of the law of partnership,
which left the granting or withholding of charters entirely
to a department of the government that was liable to be
influenced by the representations of persons already in
the trade, and who were naturally opposed to competition.
Ultimately the company to which he referred went to
Canada, where these restrictions did not exist, and obtained
a charter there. Another great objection to the present
state of the law was, that it prevented small capitalists
associating together, and enjoying those advantages which
were derived from the employment of a large capital
He thought that their lordships would best consult the inte-
rests of the country, if, removing the unnecessary restrictions,
they allowed every individual to employ his capital in the
manner most conducive to his own advantage. He was satis-
fied that the apprehensions expressed in respect to the operation
of the bill were in a great degree merely conjectural, and were
entertained principally by that class of persons who had a
sort of superstitious dread of altering a state of things under
which alone they fancied the country could be prosperous.—
After some further discussion, in which Earl GREY, Lord
REDESDALE and Lord WTNFORD opposed the motion, the
bill was read a second time.
The Sale of Beer Bill went through committee.—The
Downing-street Public Offices Extension Bill was read a third
time and passed.—The Militia Ballot Suspension Bill passed
through committee.—The reports of amendments to the Dis-
senters' Marriage Bill and the Metropolitan Buildings Bill
were brought up and received.—The Customs Tariff Acts
Amendment and Consolidation Bill, the Customs Laws Con-
solidation Bill, and the Turnpike Acts Continuance (No. 2)
Bill were read i third time and passed.—The Passengers Acts
Amendment Bill and the Island of Tobago Loan Bill passed
through committee.—The Turkish Loan Bill was read a third
time and passed.—The Ordnance Board Bill, the Lunatic Asy-
lums (Ireland) Advances Bill, and the Navigation Works
(Ireland) Bill were read a second time.—The standing order
having been suspended, the Appropriation Bill was brought in
and read a first time.
Their lordships adjourned shortly after nine o'clock.

CHESHIRE AND WALES.
frtE price of gas in Birkenhead has been reducel from
L 1 £4 2s. 6d. per annum for each lamp to £3 15s. 3d., the reduced
sttm including all repairs.
THE EARL OF ELLESMERE is on a visit to Runcorn, ac-
companied by his second son, and Faraday Smith, Esq. The
i party are staying at the Bridgewater-house, Bottom Locks.
CHESTER CATTLE FAIR, AUGUST 7.—There was a very
poor fair, and little or no business transacted. There were
• shown 198 cattle, 891 sheep, and 321 pigs. Beef and mutton
averaged about 7d. per lb.
On Wednesday morning, the body of Samuel Hulse, a
captain of a narrow boat, -was taken out of the canal, at the
bottom locks, Runcorn, and conveyed to the Bridgewater
Arms Inn, to await an inquest. •
THE ship Royal Charter still remains at Sandycroft in the
"fix " wherein she was left at the launch ; renewed efforts
will be made to extricate her, during the high tides towards.
the end of this month.
No steps were taken at the recent Chester assizes for the''
trial of William Knowles, charged with the murder of John
Matthews, the police officer at Oxton, on the 4th •of Septem-
ber last, the prisoner still being confined in the -asylum, and
the medical men stating that he is a confirmed lunatic.
IN the heavy thunderstorm on Tuesday afternoon, a house
in Queen's Park, Chester, was struck with lightning. The
roof was torn off, and the side walls have been split. The
female servant was covered with the rubbish from the ceiling,
and roof, but was rescued without much injury.
ON Tuesday, when Lord Chief Justice Jervis took his seat
in the Nisi Prius Court at Chester, he stated that he never
had the slightest intention of retiring from the high office he
then held, nor had he ever made the slightest application for
a retiring pension.
RESPITE OF :MARGARET DAVIES. —A respite during the
Her Majesty's pleasure has been received by the Governor of
Ruthin gaol for the above-named prisoner, convicted at the'
assizes last week of the wilful murder of her illegitimate child
by drowning it in a canal at Llangollen.
AT the meeting of the Birkenhead Commissioners, on Tues-
day night, Mr. John Laird applied for permission to construct
a tunnel under Ivy-street, from his ship-building yard to the
Monk's Ferry Station. It was stated that a committee had
been appointed to confer with Mr. Laird on that and other
matters.
ARCHEOLOGY.—The annual •meetinf, of the Archmological
Institute of Great Britain and Ireland commenced at
Shrewsbury on Tuesday. The weather was most unpropitious.
The programme includes excursions to Hawkstone battle field
(the scene of the battle between Henry V. and the Percies),
Buildwas and Wenlock Abbeys, Bromfield Priory and Ludlow
Castle, Haughmond Abbey, Chirk Castle, and Valle Crutch
Abbey.
-FEARFUL TIIUNDERSTOR.M.—On Tuesday afternoon a fear-
ful thunderstorm burst over Chester and its vicinity. , The
meadows were flooded, and some tons of hay were washed
down the swollen and turbid Dee. The cellars at the rail-
way refreshment-rooms were flooded, and the ale barrels
washed from the stillages. A portion of the Chester and
Birkenhead Railway was under water to the depth of a foot
and more, but no accident happened.
AN ANCIENT SHIP.—The ship that conveyed General
Wolfe to Quebec (now the property of Captain Robert Magub,
of the Commercial Inn, at the Dock), has arrived at Pater,
from Leghorn, and is discharging a cargo of oats. We under-
stand that her mainmast was the flagstaff at Gibraltar, when
that celebrated fortress was taken by the English. She is
commanded by Captain William Magub, brother of the
owner, and the venerable ship is good on Lloyd's books, not- •
withstanding her great age.— Welsh Paper.
STABBING AT BIRICENTIEAD.—A boy, 16 years of age,
named James Gouldsou, a striker at afoundry, was tried at
•
the Chester assizes, on Tuesday, for stabbing: a boy named
Charles Young, at Birkenhead, on the 27th of July last. It
appears that the boys were gathering mushrooms in a field on
the day in question, and during a quarrel which took place
between them the prisoner struck the prosecutor with a knife.
He was found guilty; but as he received a. good character
from his employer, he was sentenced to further imprisonment
for one week.
FIRE AND Loss of TIIREE LIVEs. —On Monday a public-
house called the Orange Tree, situate in Altriucham, kept by
Samuel Howard, was discovered to be on fire. The landlord,
his wife, and three children, were quickly aroused, and, with
the assistance of a ladder, they escaped from their bedroom.
Three lads, and a servant-man, were still in the building, the
flames baffling all theirefforts to escape. The eldest son was
got out insensible ; but, the conflagration having been got
under, search was made for the missing children and the ser-
vant, •
when their bodies were discovered the oat, horribly
disfigured.
Mounts v. THE BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE, AND CHES-
HIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.—This was an action to
recover damages for injuries done to the plantations of a land-
owner at Hooton, by hot cinders which fell upon them, as was
alleged, in consequence of the funnels of the defendants not
being properly guarded, and also for the loss of several cows
and other cattle, alleged to have been destroyed in consequence
of the defendants not putting up proper gates and fences. The
damages were laid at £l,OOO, but before the hearing it was
agreed to refer the cause to the land-agent of St. Philip
Egerton.
CAB FARES IN BIRKENUEAD.—At the Commissioners'
meeting, on Tuesday, Mr. Curry said that the sub-committee,
appointed to inquire into the subject of the cab fares, were not
yet fully prepared with a report, but they proposed to make a
scale of 6d. for half-a-mile, is. for a mile, and so on, every frac-
tional part to be treated as half-a-mile. If this was approved.
of, they then proposed to make a complete schedule of rates
for the township. They proposed that the rate should be ls.
to the Park grand entrance, although the distance was just
beyond the mile, because the carmen seemed to have esta-
blished that fare for themselves. The time rate was to be 2s.
per hour.
TEMPERANCE GALA IN BTRKENIIEAD PARK.—The mem-
bers of 29 total abstinence societies of Liverpool and Birkeu.
head opened, on Monday, a series of festive demonstrations in
the Birkenhead park. But for the continuous rain which
prevailed on Monday and Tuesday, with the exception of a
few hours in the afternoon, the proceedings would doubtless
have been as gay and animated as could have been desired.
On Tuesday morning there was a flower show and exhibition
of fancy goods in the grand marquee. On Wednesday, a pro-
cession of the various societies assembled was made through
the streets of Birkenhead. The comparative fineness of the
afternoon attracted many thousands to witness the procession,
and also the gala in the park. About eight o'clock in the
evening, however, a heavy shower came on, and the affair was
terminated, as it began, in "heavy wet."
CIIESTER ASSIZE.—The assize for the county -of Chester
opened on Monday, before Lord Campbell, Chief Justice, and
Sir John Jervis, (lief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas.
Lord Campbell presided in the Crown Court, and Sir John
Jervis in the Nisi Prins Court. The calendar was more than
usually heavy, there being fifty prisoners for trial, four of
whom were charged with murder. The,assizes terminated on
Wednesday afternoon. In the case of Catherine Luney, the
girl charged with murdering her illegitimate child, by throw-
ing it down a privy, at Norton, on the 27th of July last, the
grand jury threw out the bill for murder. She was tried,
however, for concealing the birth, and was sentenced to three
months' imprisonment.—Joseph Edwards, who was lately
committed at Birkenhead, for stabbing Joseph Rogers, in a
drunken quarrel, and admitted out on bail, did not surrender,
nor did the prosecutor appear. He will consequently be tried
at the next assizes.
THE DOCKS AMSLGAMATION.—At the Birkenhead Com-
missioners' meeting, onTuesday,a letter was read from Mr.
John Laird, describing his exertions in connexion with the
amalgamation of the docks on both sides of the Mersey. Mr.
Laird's letter concludes in the following terms :—" The mea-
sure just passed is one which it is well known I have for a
long time advocated, and I believe if properly carried out by
the Corporation, (which I have every reason to think will be
the case,) will conduce greatly to the prosperity of all classes
in the township, and I hope lead at a very early period to a
complete amalgamation of the interests on both sides of the
water, by placing Liverpool and Birkenhead on equitable
terms under one municipal government." Alluding to Mr.
Laird's letter, the Chairman said he believed the transfer
would contribute materially to the prosperity of the town-
ship. He felt that Birkenhead would soon take that place
among the prosperous cities of England which it ought to do.
ATTEMPTED BURGLARY IN CHESHIRE.—EarIy on Thurs-
day an attempt was made by five armed burglars to effect an
entrance into the residence of Captain James Newton, at
Cheadle-heath, between Cheadle and Stockport. The house is
near the turnpike road, and is separated by a wall 12 or 11
feet high from a farmhouse tenanted by Mr. Thomas Savage.
The brother of the latter, William Savage, who also lives at
the farm, returned home about two o'clock on Thursday
morning. When he got into the farm-yard he heard a noise,
and he saw two ladders raised against the high wall dividing
the farm premises from Captain Newton's house and garden.
He went towards the spot, and was immediately thrown down
. ,
by two men, and presently he saw a third man, and two
others who appeared to have come down the ladders. All the
five then ran off towards the fields, but one of them, when
only about four yards off, turned round, and seeing that
Savage had regained his feet, discharged a pistol at him.
The ball passed through the upper part of his hat, and finding
himself unhurt, and seeing that the men were separating,
Savage made an attempt to capture the hindermait, and
seized him by the back of his coat collar. The man called
out, and, the other four returning to his assistance, Savage
was again overpowered, and left prostrate, after being struck
several tunes with a truncheon. As no one came to his
assistance, the men now got away, and Savage awoke his
brother. It was found that the robbers had taken two
ladders from the farm-yard of Mr. Elkanah Cheetham, about
200 yards distant, and a third from the premises of Mr.
Savage, and they were observed to carry with them a bag
or basket supposed to contain some iron implements. Pre-
vious attemp't's of the kind have been made upon the
same premises.
DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.—On Saturday Mr. Edward
Harris, a pilot of the port of Cardiff, took his wife and six chil-
dren in his boat across the channel to Weston-super-Mare,
whence they again took boat, at about five o'clock, on the back
passage to Cardiff. About seven o'clock, on their nearing the
Cardiff sands (one of the most dangerous parts of the channel),
the boat refused to steer, and became unmanageable, and it
was then found that she had sprung a leak and was fast filling.
The father, mother, and elder children immediately applied
themselves to the pumps and to baling out the water, at which
they worked with desperate energy. To their horror, however,
they found that the labouring of the boat had opened the leak
wider, and that the water gained rapidly upon them. Their
terror was extreme, and when they saw the water covering the
deck, and no means of rescue at hand, the children gave
vent to piteous cries and shrieks, which almost paralysed the
exertions of the father and mother. They hoisted signals of
distress, and again laboured at the pumps, but still no hope
presented itself. The mother now gave vent to an earnest
prayer for help, and raising her shawl for a signal, waved it
in the air. The signal was descried by the look-out on board
the sloop Dove, of Bideford, which immediately crowded all
sail, and bore down for the distressed boat. The interval was
one of the most harrowing kind. The water kept rapidly in-
creasing ; the deck was first covered, then the water deepened,
so that its planks could not be seen. The wretched creatures
now almost abandoned hope. Some of the children clung
round the half-maddened parents, others clung to the mast
and rigging ; while the majority of them uttered shrieks and
lamentations. At length, as the boat began to sink, the sloop
got alongside. Harris, his wife, and some of the children
were quickly hauled into the Dove, and the sinking vessel,
lightened of some of her weight, rose a little. It was then
observed that one poor boy was still left on the sinking craft.
The captain of the sloop (Captain Belley) threw a rope to
him, which he lashed round his waist, 'and he was hoisted on
board the Dove, sustaining, however, in the effort, severe
injury of one of his feet. I-I;had only sufficient time to reach
the deck when the boat went down, bow foremost, in deep
water. The captain of the Dove carried the •pilot and his
family into Newport, where- lodgings were provided for them.
by the police.
RIOT. AT WnExnA3L—On Tuesday, the neighbourhood of
Wi'exham was thrown into a state of great alarm by upwards
of 5000 colliers turning out in consequence of a reduction of
their wages. So excited had the mob become that a great
number of. them.repaired to some of the agents' houses and
commenoed.llemolishing the buildings. After some time had
elapsed the. militia were called out, and the rioters were
ultimately dispersed. A large number of the turnouts have
since left the llistriet for Scotland.
WELCOME. HOME. TO LIEUT.-COLONEL FEILDEN.—Oa,
Saturday the village of Bebington was the scene of a most
pleasing demonstration. All will remember the attack on the
18th of June, when-the forlorn hope, under the command of
Major Feilden; of the 41th, made the successful diversion upon
the Cemetery, whith they took and held the whole day. For
his intrepidity on. that occasion Major Feilden was made lieut.-
colonel of his regiment. He has served in the whole campaign
in the Crimea, and-besides the gallant affair of the Cemeteries,
was under fire in the battles of Alma and Inkernmii, for which
he received the medal and clasps. He has passed through
these severe engagements without receiving a Wound,-though
his brother, Lieut. Henry Feilden, in the same regiment, has.
been less fortunate, having been severely wounded at the attack
on the Redan. Colonel Feilden is thirty years of age. He
entered the army as ensign on the 20th of November, 1869;,
was gazetted lieutenant October 4th, 1840 ; captain, February
.27th, 1846; and major, March sth, 1353, being then only
twenty-eight years of age. As soon as it had become known-
that Lieut.-Colonel Feilden had returned to England,and would
arrive at' Bebington on Saturday evening, the parishioners
assembled for the purpose of making arrangements for a suit-
able demonstration on the occasion. It was unanimously re.
solved that an address should be presented, that the village
should be decorated with flags, the bells of the parish church.
rung, and that a procession should be formed to meet the train
by which the colonel was expected to arrive from London.
-On the arrival of the train at the Bebington Station, Lieut.-
Col. Fielden and his sister, who had been to meet him, were
..escorted to the carriage, in waiting, which was drawn to the
rectory by twelve of the parishioners, amidst the plaudits of
the throng, the bands playing " See the conquering hero
comes,'! and other airs. After the band • marched about 200:
school-children, followed by the gentry two and. two, with
ribbons at their button-holes; then the flag-bearers; and
next the carriage, the miscellaneous and enthusiastic vil-
lagers bringing up. the rear. Arrived at the rectory, Mr.
John Deane Case, one of the magistrates of the county,. and to
whom had been deputed the duty of presenting the address,
proceeded to do so, and it was appropriately acknowledged.—
The Rev. R. M. Fielden next addressed his parishioners,
thanking them for the honour they had done his noble son.
He had perhaps more reason to shout than any of them, in
his gratitude to God for having sent back his dear boy un-
scathed, after passing through the dangers of the campaign
thus far; thankful that both his sons had been spared, though
one, the lieutenant, had been wounded, and at present he did
not know to what extent. He had hoped that he would have
been able to come with his brother, but that was found to be
impossible, owing to the nature of his wounds. Poor Captain
Gipps, too, of the Fusilier Guards, whom many of them would
remember, was anxious to come down with the Colonel, but
he had been unable to do so. After some further observa-
tions, the rector again thanked them for this spontaneous
evidence of their feelings towards his son, and retired with
the colonel into the rectory.—The assemblage gradually left
the grounds, and the festivities, which were general through-
out the village, were kept up until a seasonable hour.-Before
the arrival of the colonel, the committee and their friends
dined together at the Rose and Crown. Among those present
were, Mr. J. D. Case, in the chair, supported by the Rev. R.
M. Feilden, the Rev. J. M. Brown, Mr. Cfarke Aspinall, and
the Rev. J. Franks, besides whom there were Messrs. Graham.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
will be said, seems as uncertain as Crimean weather. I
heard a few dayeago from a French officer of artillery, that
Pelissier, being asked when offensive siege operations would
be again resumed, said, " Well, I don't know ; the Russians
are losing every day 300 or 400 men by sickness. If we wait
a week they will have lost a brigade, if we wait a month they
will have lost a corps d'armde." But, if the Russians lose
many men- by sickness, they seem to be careful to replace
them again. Numbers of stories are afloat about the formid-
able forces which have come and are still coming down this
'way, and apprehensions of an attack on -the Tchernaya line
are daily gaining more ground.
In the meantime not even the most powerful telescopes are
able to discover anything of the approach of this formidable
force, and the Russians content themselves with firing a shot
now. and then from the batteries on the Mackenzie-ridge at
the harmless sheep and cattle sent by the French over the
Tchernaya to graze, or on the horses going-down for water.
The >Turks are still mooning about, and waiting Omar
Pasha's. arrival, which is postponed from day to day. One
battalion of them has been ordered down into the valley of
Baidarto cut grass. In order to prevent 'confusion a line of
demarcation has been drawn, which separates the French
from the Turkish foragers. Baidar seems to be an inex-
haustible -source of hay. Notwithstanding • the systematic
collection of the French, and the continual drain on its
resources by private enterprises from all armies, a great quan-
tity is still remaining on the hill sides, which, owing to the
neighbourhood of the Russians, are rather less frequented
than the more open parts of the valley. It is likewise an
inexhaustible store of wood. The Turks have cut a good deal
for zemliks (huts), but in their continual moving about they
seem to be uncertain where to take it, so it remains there for
the present.
The 'London Gazette contains a despatch from General
Simpson dated BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, JULY 28.
My lkird,—Since my despatch of the 24th instant I have
nothing of importance to relate to you. We continue to
strengthen and improve our advanced works, which are now
so close to the enemy's defences that I regret to say our casual-
ties are necessarily considerable.
The .enemy exhibit great activity in adding to and im-
proving-their defences, and the conveyance of large military
stores from the north to the south side is increasing.
I begto transmit the list of casualties to the 26th instant,
and the-confidential fortnight reports of the generals of divi-
sion and brigade.
The cholera has nearly ceased in the ranks of the army.—
I have, Sac., JAMES SIMPSON,
Lieutenant-General Commanding.
The -total casualties are —2O rank and file -killed ; 1 officer, 4
sergeants, 1 drummer, 133 rank and file wounded.
The Moniteur of Thursday publishes a telegraphic despatch
from General Pelissier to the Minister of War, dated the 7th
of August, 11 p.m. It is as follows :—I have nothing of
interest to communicate to you. The enemy has not under-
taken anything against our trenches. Some cases of cholera
have reappeared.
THE BALTIC..
THERE are now in the Baltic 85 English vessels of war,
mounting 2,098 guns ; 16 French vessels of war, mounting
408 guns. In the combined fleet there are 23 line-of-battle
ships, with 1,-853 guns; 31 frigates and corvettes, with 554;
29 smaller steamers and gunboats, with 78 guns ; 18 mortar-
boats and other craft, with 21 guns ; in all, 101 vessels,
mounting 2,506 guns.
Admiral Dundas's despatch encloses a report from Captain Yel-
verton, of the Arrogant, of the destruction of barracks, maga-
zines, and stores at Kotka. Captain YelvFton's letter is
dated from " the Arrogant, off the Mouth of the Kymene,
July 28," and says that—
" Very early on the 26th I was joined, off the Island of
Hogland, by the Cossack and Magicienne, bringing with
them the mortar-vessels Prompt, Pickle, Rocket, and
Blazer. I stood immediately to the northward, leaving the
Ruby to bring on the gunboats, which were not then in sight.
They joined at noon, and at two p.m. we all anchored off Fort
Rotsensholm. _ _ _
As the safety of our expedition rested chiefly on our invest-
ing and holding the entire possession of the fortified island of
Kotka, I determined upon taking it at once. Accordingly I
anchored the mortar-vessels out of range, and, leaving two
gunboats to look after them, I proceeded with the rest of the
vessels to the westward of Kotka for the pnrpose of destroying
the bridge, so as to cut off the retreat of the garrison, and
prevent their receiving reinforcements from the mainland.
Captain Vansittart, of the Magicienne, with his accustomed
zeal and activity, threaded his way at once through the
shoals, and destroyed the bridge. As soon as all the vessels
had anchored, so as to command the great mililary road lead-
ing from the fort of Hogfors Holm, and also the channel
dividing the island from the main, I landed all the marines,
under command of Captain S. N. Lowder, R.N., with Lieut.
George D. Dowell, R.M.A., and Lieuts. H. C. Mudge and P.
R. Holmes, R.M., who took possession without being opposed,
as the garrison (no doubt apprised of our coming by the tele-
graphs along the coast) had very recently evacuated it, leaving
behind them a large amount of military stores, which have
since been burnt. The Crown property destoyed by Captain.
Lowder included barracks, magazines, ordnance stores, store-
houses, stables, guardhouses, and other Government buildings,
with an immense amount of timber intended for building and
other military purposes.
The following morning I weighed, leaving Captain Fanshawe
with the Cossack in charge of this most important point, which
required the utmost care and attention, as the enemy on seve-
ral occasions threw out reconnoitring parties, as if inclined to
attempt the recovery of the island.
Owing to a change of wind to the eastward, I regret to say
that the village caught fire from some government buildings,
and I fear much injury was done to it. It is, however, a source
of congratulation to be able to add that the fine church on the
island sustained no damage whatever, owing to the precautions
that were immediately taken to save it.
• On Tuesday a further series of official letters relating to the
attack on the English boat's crew at Hangoe, on the sth of
June, was presented to parliament. Lieut. Geneste's statement,
together with the letter of Admiral Dundas to the Russian
Minister of War, in which it is compared with the accounts
put forward by the Russian authorities, are given in full.
Lieut. Geneste's narrative only confirms the former accounts,
that the Russians deliberately fired upon them, and took them
prisoners while they were displaying a flag of truce. He
anticipates being set at liberty speedily, as they were taken
under a flag of truce; but what increases the infamy of Russia
in this matter is, that there appears no regret, nor any inten-
tion to do common justice, by instantly releasing the prisoners
so disgracefully obtained. -
DANTSIC, Friday, August 10, 3 p.m.
The Jupiter transport steamer has arrived.
On the 6th the English and a portion of the French fleet
weighed from Nargen, and anchored the same day off Swea-
borg.
On the 7th the two fleets were drawn up in front of Swea-
borg.
The bombardmant of that place was to commence on the
same afternoon.
It is understood that in all renewals of steam contracts for
the government transport service the terms are now reduced
from 50s. per ton to 455. or 4Cs.
The thirteen British naval officers and midshipmen of the
Tiger, lost near Odessa, have arrived at Stettin, on their way
to England, having been exchanged for Russians.
During the funeral of Lord Raglan, not a Russian gun was
fired. In return, so soon as the church bells began tolling,
announcing the interment of Admiral Nachimoff, all the bat-
teries were silenced. _ _
IT is intended to raise a Canadian Legion, to be commanded
by the Duke of Cambridge. The commissions will be con-
ferred upon Canadian gentlemen, or officers settled in the
province, and the corps therefore will be national.
THE LATE COLONEL SHADFORTH.—Letters of condolence
have been addressed by the Lieut.-Colonel and the Colour-
Sergeant and acting Sergeant-Major, of the 57th Regiment,
from the camp before Sebastopol, to the widow of the late
Colonel, who was killed in the attack on the Redan, on the
18th June. These letters severally express the regrets of the
officers and men at the painful event. Her Majesty has signed
a warrant granting a pension of £2OO a-year to Mrs. Shadforth.
The following is from a soldier's letter printed by the Kil-
marnock Chronicle:—" The other night I was on the en-
trenchments, and a good number of us were sitting together
amusing ourselves. One was singing a song called ' Mary,
weep no more for me,' in which occur these beautiful lines—
' Far, far from thee I sleep in death,
So, Mary, weep no more for me,'
when a shell came in and burst among us, and killed the man
while he was singing the song. He died in an instant."
CONTRACTS FOR WINTER CLOTHING, &C.—The govern-
ment has entered into extensive contracts for the fur clothing
for the troops in the Crimea. The number to be supplied is,
coats, lined with rabbit fur, 45,000, trousers, ditto, 45,000,
and fur waistcoats, 45,000; 10,000 of each of the foregoing
articles of better description are also to be supplied. The
waterproof clothing contracted for is to consist of 60,000
cloaks with sleeves, 50,000 capes, and 60,000 ox-hide boots,
impervious to snow-water. The greater portion of the
above-mentioned is to be delivered into store by the Ist of
September. •
MEMORIAL TO THE LATE LORD RAGLAN. —A second
meeting took place at the mansion of the Duke of Richmond,
in Portland-place, London, on Tuesday, when it was moved
by the Duke of Bedford, seconded by Lieut.-General Sir
George Brown, and carried unanimously—" That it is the
opinion of this meeting that a freehold estate purchased and
entailed on the title and descendants of Field-Marshal the late
Lord Raglan would be a most desirable memorial of the great
public services and private worth of that nobleman ; and, the
better to carry that object into execution, it is resolved that
subscriptions for the purpose be opened at bankers, army
agents, and any other places that may hereafter be determined
on." The memorial committee intend to purchase for the
proposed estate the land adjoining Raglan Castle, which gave
the deceased lord his title. The subscriptions paid into the
bankers at present amount to £5,111.
A FRENCH STRATAGEM.-At the attack of the Mamelon,
on the 7th, the signal given was six rockets from the Victoria
Redoubt. Under the impression that the besieged would pro-
bably for the future keep a good look-out for demonstrations
of this nature, the French, not many days since, made the
same signal, and accompanied it with the roll of drums in the
trenches towards the front, and words of command, given in
a loud tone. The result justified their anticipations, as the
Russian bugles sounded the assembly, and their troops were
seen crowding into the Malakhoff, ready to repel the supposed
premeditated attack. Immediately the guns and mortars
bearing on the threatened point poured forth their iron hail.
Grape, canister, and shells fell among the besieged " fast and
furious," and only ceased when the fire fromthe enemy showed
that the panic had passed away. On the whole this ruse de
guerre was satisfactory in the extreme to all concerned, except
the sufferers.—Daily News.
THE WELLINGTON G
COLLEE.—For the institution de-
bigned as a permanent memorial of the late duke, the sum of
£109,000 has been already subscribed, but £26,000 more is
wanting to carry out the designs of the committee. The
Queen and Court are going to patronise a grand to—at
which 600 soldiers of the Guards and line regiments are going
to take part in the capture of a miniature Sebastopol—in
Cremorne Gardens, on Monday next, in aid of the fund.
LIFE IN NAPLES.—A correspondent of The Times, describ-
ing excesses committed by the police in Naples, under the
pretext of duty to the state, says—" In fact, the present is a
time in which the most savage and brutal excesses are com-
mitted; the common humanities of life are violated, thei pri-
vacy of families invaded ; men are treated like beasts, mpri,
soned, flogged, and knocked down in the street, whence
they are hurried off to a hospital and thence to prison, and
my great fear is that the people may be goaded into acts
which the more prudent do all in their power t?:prevent.
I sometimes ask myself, too, are the police authorities secret
enemies of the King, attempting to undermine his power ?
If so, they are doing their bidding well."
PARLIAMENTARY INT_ELEI:GENCW.
HOUSE OF LORDS..
TUESDAY.
The New River Company and Trustees of the River Lea
(2) Bill was read a third time, and passed.—The Inverness
Bridge Bill was read a second time.
LIMITED LIABILITY.—Lord STANLEY 'of Alderley moved
the suspension of the. order of the house with -respect to
measures brought up from the lower house -in the case of
the Limited Liability Bill.—Lord REDESDALE opposed the
motion on the ground that no case of urgency had been made
out.—Lord GRANVILLE denied that Lord Redesdale had
given any valid reason for refusing to proceed with the bill,
which was one imperatively called for by-the interests of the
public.—Lord GREY was astonished at the.course pursued by
the government in thus pressing forward, contrary to a deli-
berate resolution of the house, a measure which especially
demanded mature consideration. He did not believe that the
interests of the commercial community called for this bill,
which was brought in to answer the purposes of speculators in
bubble companies. He felt so strongly on this point that he
had returned to town expressly to oppose the bill, which, he
was convinced, would have pernicious effects.—The Marquis
of CIANRICARDE denied that the bill was fraught with the
evils depicted by Lord Grey. He thought that the resolution
of the house might be suspended with advantage in
this case, and he hoped that the house would proceed with
the consideration of the bill, even if it sat till September.—
Lord ST. LEONARDS protested, in the name of the Lords who
sat on that side of the house, against pressing forward a mea-
sure of such immense commercial importance at this advanced
period of the session.—The LORD CHANCELLOR replied, and
their lordships divided on the question of suspending the re-
solution, which was carried by 38 to 14.—Lord STANLEY of
Alderley, in moving the second reading of the bill, said,
that the present state of the law required amendment, because
it tended to drive British capital into other countries where
. similar obstacles to its employment did not exist. • An illus-
tration of this came under his own observation shortly after
he went to the Board of Trade. An application was made to
that board by a large steam navigation company, which wished
to obtain limited liability for the establishment of a commu-
nication between this country and Canada. This application
was resisted with great obstinacy by the directors of Cunard's
line and other existing companies, and the result was that a
charter was refused to the parties. This case convinced him
of the very objectionable state of the law of partnership,
which left the granting or withholding of charters entirely
`to a department of the government that was liable to be
influenced by the representations of persons already in
the trade, and who were naturally opposed to competition.
Ultimately the company to which he referred went to
Canada, where these restrictions did not exist, and obtained
a charter there. Another great objection to the present
state of the law was, that it prevented small capitalists
associating together, and enjoying those advantages which
were derived from the employment of a large capital
Be thought that their lordships would best consult the inte-
rests of the country, if, removing the unnecessary restrictions,
they allowed every individual to employ his capital in the
manner most conducive to his own advantage. He was satis-
fied that the apprehensions expressed in respect to the operation
of the bill were in a great degree merely conjectural, and were
entertained principally by that class of persons who had a
sort of superstitious dread of altering a state of things under
which alone they fancied the country could be prosperous.—
After some farther discussion, in which Earl GREY, Lord
REDESDALE and Lord WYNFORD opposed the motion, the
bill was read a second time.
The Sale of Beer Bill went through committee.—The
Downing-street Public Offices Extension Bill was read a third
time and passed.—The Militia Ballot Suspension Bill passed
through committee.—The reports of amendments to the Dis-
senters' Marriage Bill and the Metropolitan Buildings Bill
were brought up and received.—The Customs Tariff Acts
Amendment and Consolidation Bill, the Customs Laws Con-
solidation Bill, and the Turnpike Acts Continuance (No. 2)
Bill were read a third time and passed.—The Passengers Acts
Amendment Bill and the Island of Tobago Loan Bill passed
through committee.—The Turkish Loan Bill was read a third
time and passed.—The Ordnance Board Bill, the Lunatic Asy-
lums (Ireland) Advances Bill, and the Navigation Works
(Ireland) Bill were read a second time.—The standing order
having been suspended, the Appropriation Bill was brought in
and read a first time.
Their lordships adjourned shortly after nine o'clock.
