AN immense anchor, which was lost in the Sloyne by one of
the United States mail steamers about a year ago, was dis-
covered the other day, and has been handed over to Messrs.

more than 20 tons.
FIRE AT BOOTLE.—About half-past four o'clock on Wednes-
day afternoon, a fire broke out in a stable opposite the Knows-
ley Hotel, Bootle. An alarm was given, and a body of the
county constabulary, with the assistance of the neighbours,
succeeded in extinguishing the fire.
JAMES WILSON, the owner of the Jenny Lind, the boat
which ran intdthe Lively and capsized her on the Ribble a few
days ago, and Thomas Smith, the man who managed the jib-
sail on the occasion of the accident, have been committed for
trial on the charge of manslaughter.
DURABILITY or IRON SHlrs.—The iron ship Richard
Cobden, which was built twelve years ago, by Messrs. James
Hodgson and Co., of Liverpool, will repay a visit from any one
who is interested in iron ships. She has been twelve years in
the East India trade, and has not had the slightest repairs
done to her, has never made a drop of water, and will, to all
appearance, last for an unlimited length of time. She is now
lying west side of Salthouse Dock. This vessel has com-
pletely set aside the old notion of A 1 for twelve years.
HEALTH OF THE TowN.—The medical officer of health
reports that the health of the town is in a satisfactory state,
the deaths from diarrhcea continuing below the average. 250
deaths were 'registered in the week ending Saturday last.
Zymotic diseases caused 83 deaths, of which 39 were from
diarrhoea, 34 from scarlatina, I 2 from fever, 3 from measles,
and 5 from hooping-cough. Diseases of the lungs caused 45
deaths, of which 23 were from consumption ; diseases of the
brain, 14 deaths ; diseases of the heart, 7; debility and natural
decay, 51; convulsions, 22 ; and delirium tremens, 1.
PARENTAL CRITELTY.—On Wednesday night, Richard Dut-
ton, residing in the cellar of a house, 15, Tindle-street, Athol-
street, went home drunk, and, after cruelly beating his wife,
turned her out of the house along with her child at the breast,
and two sons of the respective ages of 15 and 9 years. The
mother and child took shelter at a neighbour's house, but the
poor lads went and laid down on a brick-kiln, where they were
found on Thursday morning at six o'clock, by Bridget Duffy,
who works at the kiln, one dead, and the other insensible. The
younger boy was immediately taken home, Dr. Johnston, of
Kirkdale, was promptly in attendance, and he is likely to get
better. The father was taken into custody.
ON Friday, an inquest was held on the body of William
Fleming, 17 years of age, employed at the Waterloo-road sta-
tion of the London and North-western Railway. The boy being
in an upper story of one of the warehouses, asked a man who
was there to lower him down by a teakle. The man did not
make him any answer, and the boy attempted to let himself
down, for he got upon the rope, and took hold of the driver,
which however he pulled so strongly that he was carried
rapidly up, and struck his head violently against a " cat-head."
Rendered insensible by the blow, he fell from a great height
to the ground, and received in his fall the injuries which caused
his death. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death.
REVENUES OF THE DUCHY OF LANCASTER,.—The account
annually presented, pursuant to the Act of Parliament, shows
that in the year ended the 29th of September 1854, the
income of the Duchy of Lancaster amounted to £42,266, and
the expenditure to £35,567, leaving a balance on account with
the receiver-general of £6,599. The rents and arrears received
during the year amounted to £29,912, and the casual revenue
to £6,149. The salaries and allowances of the principal officers
of the duchy and the law officers of the county palatine
amounted to £7,268, the annuities and retired allowances to
£1,047, the donations and charities to £1,427, the surveys
and valuations to £204,054, labourers' wages,' payments to
the Commissioners of Woods, the expense of holding manorial
courts, land-tax, and other miscellaneous charges, to £4,356,
and the payments made out of this revenue to the Queen's
privy purse to £lB,OOO.
THE ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB will hold their monthly
meetings on a Monday, instead of Tuesday, as heretofore. The
members met last week numerously at the marine station,
Birkenhead, and after dinner business matters commenced,
the rear-commodore in the chair. Francis Cavendish Ward,
Esq., Duke of Lancaster's Own Rifles, of Prescot, was elected
a member, on the proposition of Commodore Littledale.
Several other members were proposed. The closing cruise of
the season- was fixed to be held on Saturday, the 22nd instant,
the yachts to assemble off New Brighton at ten o'clock, a.m.
The subject of the annual club ball was also taken into con-
sideration, and was warmly received, and referred for adoption
at the next meeting. The club will hold their last dinner for
the season at the marine station, on the Ist of October, after
which time the meetings will be held at the club-house,
for the winter season.
LIVERPOOL FLORAL AND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—
This society's third and last exhibition for the season took
place on Thursday, at the Botanic Gardens, Edge-lane. The
weather was delightfully fine, and the spacious marquee was
crowded to excess with a brilliant assembly. The number of
plants exhibited was, perhaps, not so numerous as on previous
occasions ; but every department was well represented as
respects the quality of the plants, and they were quite nume-
rous enough to admit of their being seen to advantage. The
fruit was exceedingly fine, and formed a very striking feature
of the exhibition—the grapes, peaches, apricots, and cherries
of Mr. Hardman Earle ; the grapes of the Earl of Derby; the
apples of Mr. Charles Rylance, and pears of Mr. Honseley,
attracting particular attention. In melons, too, the show was
about one of the best which has been witnessed at the society's
exhibitions for some years past, those of Mr. Nicholson and
Mr_ H. Earle being. amonpqt. the finest_ The yezefahlef, nicn
were both more numerous and finer in quality than on pre-
vious occasions.
TESTIMONIAL TO CAPTAIN H. COX, OF THE IMPERLTRIZ.--
On the arrival of the Imperatriz at Balaklava, Captain Cox
VMS presented with a snuff-box,with the accompanying letter:—
"My Dear Sir,—On behalf of myself and the officers of the
56th Regiment, whom you have just conveyed from Ireland
to the seat of war in the Crimea, and before quitting the S.S.
Imperatriz, under your command, I am most anxious, in their
name, to bear testimony to the zeal, energy, and skill, at all
times displayed by yourself and your officers, as well as to the
kind and unvarying attention which has ever been shown to
us during the voyage. On returning you our sincere thanks,
and uniting in best wishes for your future prosperity and
happiness, we beg your acceptance of the accompanying token
as a slight mark of our esteem.—Believe me to be, my dear
sir, yours very sincerely, S. Oakely. S.S. Imperatriz, 21st
August, 1855. Capt. H. T. Cox, commanding S.S. Impera-
triz." The snuff-box bore the following inscription:—" Pre-
sented by Lieut.-Col. Oakely, and the officers of the 56th
Regt., to Capt. H. T. Cox, commanding steamer Imperatriz,
in testimony of their 'high appreciation of his kindness and at-
tention during their passage to the Crimea. August, 1855."
HARVEST PROSPECTS NEAR LIVERPOOL.—The potato dis-
ease, which, a fortnight ago, seemed likely to become very ex-
tensive in this neighbourhood, has been stayed in its progress
before it has descended to the roots or tubers, though there
are few fields in the district between this town and Ormskirk
which do not show signs of its presence. However, should
the present fine weather continue, there is little doubt but the
crop will be secured in better condition than has been the case
for some years. The wheat crops have suffered in some places,
in consequence of being laid by the wind and wet, and this is
particularly observable between Aintree and Maghull ; but
here again fine weather has been productive of infinite benefit,
for, though a quantity of grain is nearly touching theground,
it is dry, and there is every probability that it will be secured
in good condition. The crops of wheat, oats, and barley, are,
generally speaking, light, and ten days later than usual. If
not carted, the corn in the district of which we are speaking
is for the most part cut in the first week in September. At
the present time, full four-fifths is standing, though a great
portionis ready for the sickle. On the Cleve's Hills, there
are some excellent crops of grain ; and one of the finest fields
of wheat we ever saw, in this or any other neighbourhood, is
on a farm occupied by Richard Mawdsley, of Orrell, near this
town. Greater progress would have been made with the har-
vest, but labourers are scarce and difficult to be proeured.
The turnips and mangel-wurzel we have noticed are consider-
ably beneath an average crop, and are late.—Journal.

Thursday, The annual
at
the
meeting of this
Bible Depository, Slater-street. Mr. M`Fie presided, and
thanked the meeting for the honour done him in sending him
as their representative at the c
.conferencewith the Young
Men's Christian Association in Paris. The hon
read the report, which, after alluding to the benefits arising
from the Sunday morning and Thursday evening devotionalng
meetings, the Bible Class, the Tract Distribution Society, the
lectures delivered to the association, and the services ren-
dered by Mr. Matheson, the treasurer, stated that, the want
of a paid officer having been much felt, Mr. R. F. Brown had
been appointed missionary to young men. Allusion was made
to the visit with which the association had been favoured
during the winter by Mr. M'Cormick, from New York, as a
deputation from a similar institution there ; and it was stated
that certain changes had been made in the constitution of the
association to bring it to a closer resemblance to the New York
M
institution, described by Mr. 'Cormick. The number of
members at present exceeded 100. From the statement of
accounts, it appeared that the receipts between December 13
and August 31 were £66 14s. 9d., and that the balance in
the hands of the treasurer was about ten guineas. The report
and accounts were adopted, and the board of management and.
the officers of the association for the ensuing year were
elected. A conversation ensued on the position and prospects
of the association, and the best means of extendingits utility.
Docx COMMITTEE.-Mr. Charles Turner presided at the
meeting on Thursday. A return of traffic on the south line
of dock railway was submitted, showing that since the com-
mencement of the line, about two years ago, the traffic had
amounted to 181,000 tons. The marine department recom-
mended that the tender of Thomas Evans, of Bangor, for the
construction of a new dwelling-house for the keeper of the
telegraph at Point Lynas, should be accepted.—A report was
read, describing an accident sustained by the Bell Beacon,
which had been run foul of and damaged ; and a suggestion
of Mr. Lockett was agreed to, to place placards round the
docks, offering a reward to any one who would give informa-
tion as to the perpetrators of the injury. An offer of Messrs.
Cato, Miller, and Co., to repair the iron mast, and provide a
new bell for the beacon for the sum of £72 10s. was accepted.
An offer made by Messrs. Thomas Vernon and Son, to cut
the buoy V. 3 in the centre, and to form two separate buoys,
was accepted : sum £73.—Mr. Rounthwaite called attention
to a motion which Mr. Mann had made at a previous meet-
ing relative to the dock space occupied by steamers and
sailing vessels respectively. Mr. Mann's opinion being that
the allowances made to steamers for the space occupied by
their engines, &c., is too large, and that, upon the whole,
steamers do not pay their due proportion of dock rates, com-
pared with sailing vessels.—Mr. Rounthwaite took a totally
different view, and he was desirous that an addition should
be made to Mr. Mann's motion for statistics upon the subject
of the occupation of dock space, whereby the time which
steamers occupied in discharging and loading could be ascer-
tained; for he believed it would be found that though certain
allowances were made to steamers for space, &c., which was
not occupied by freight, the revenue actually derived by the
estate from the steamers was very much larger than that
derived from sailing vessels. For instance, the Clarence
Dock (which is devoted entirely to the steam trade) dis-
charged 74,000 tons per acre per annum, while the Victoria
and Waterloo discharged but 29,000; and the Clarence
yielded £1,416 per acre, while the Prince's only yielded
£1,123; George's, £731 ; Canning, £538 ; Albert, £1,673;
Salthouse, £l2B ; £264; Queen's, £416 ; Coburg,
£BBO ; and Union, £230. After a brief conversation as to
whether notice of motion should be given, Mr. Rounthwaite
consented not to press his motion, but to give notice of it for
the nett meeting: when Mr. Mann would be in attendance.
THE EARL OF ELLESMERE will be the Lord Lieutenant of
Lancashire, in the room "of the late Earl of Sefton.
THE United States mail steamer Baltic sailed on Saturday
for New York, with 190 passengers, besides the mails and a
large cargo of goods. The list of passengers includes the
name of his Excellency Alfonso Escalenta, Ambassador Ex-
traordinary from Madrid to the Court of Washington.
MR. C. E. SMITH, sculptor, whose bust of the late Rev.
W. W. Ewbank recently claimed public attention, has just
completed a companion bust of the Rev. J. Macnaught, which
is esteemed an admirable likeness.
THERE have been several sudden deaths in Marseilles.
Among others, Mr. Leigh, from Liverpool, who died after a
very few hours' indisposition, though assisted by the best
medical advice. His remains were interred in the Protestant
cemetery.
FATAL Ac c IDENT.—About two o'clock on Thursday
morning, an aged woman, named Margaret Magee, fell from
her bedroom- window, in No. 5 Court, Combermere-street,
Toxteth-park, and was found insensible a short time after-
wards by her son, who lives in the same court. She died at
half-past six o'clock.
NEW ACT ON COTTNTY PALATINE OF LANCASTER
TRIALS.—An act was passed in the late session further to
assimilate the practice in the County Palatine of Lancaster to
that of other counties with respect to the trial of issues from
the superior courts at Westminster. Her Majesty is now em-
powmd to issue comm's ions, authorising the judges to take
the assizes, juries, and other matters, in the same manner as
in other countries. .
•
THE WRECK or THE RrouLtrs.—Two flats and a sloop
were towed into the Mersey on Monday, laden with cargo
recovered from the Regulus, recently wrecked and still on
shore at the Skerries. The goods recovered comprise all the
bale case goods, besides a large quantity of weightier articles.
According to a notice posted in the underwriters' room, there
still remains 80 tons of cargo on board ; prompt measures,
however, were being taken to get this away.
THE MODEL OF SEBASTOPOL is still on view in the Queen's
Hall, Bold-street, and, considering the importance of the in-
telligence just received from the Crimea, its varied interest to
the spectator must be still further enhanced. This will be
obvious when it is remembered that Mr. Hough, immediately
on the arrival of important news, takes measures to adapt the
model to the existing state of affairs, so as to keep the specta-
tor au courant with the course of events.
_ _ _
The Daily News of Friday says :—" Mr. Scott Russell's
new steamer, now being built at Blackwall, is making great
progress. The frame is completed, and the work will be
finished within the next twelve months. When ready for sea
she will go to Liverpool, and sail regularly from that port, and
not, as Stated, from Milford Haven ; for, although she cannot
enter any one of the Liverpool docks, she can, like the Collins
boats, anchor in the river."
POCKET-PICKING.—Ann Phillips, a woman, and two boys
named Patrick Duffy and Robert Bland, were, on Saturday, at
the Police-court, charged with picking pockets. On Friday
afternoon one of the officials at the Tithebarn-street railway-
station observed the prisoners go up to a lady on the platform,
and while the woman engaged her attention, one of the boys
picked her pocket of a purse containing £1 Is. 6d. He im-
mediately took them in charge, and on searching the boy he
found the purse. They were committed for trial.
BURGLARY.—WiIIiam Prendergast, Peter Cameron, and
Patrick Ullathorne, were, on Saturday, charged with breaking
into the shop of Mr. Bacon, Dublin-street, and stealing three
diamondnight the
a large quantity of copper nails, and a coat. On
Friday the three prisoners were seen loitering near the
shop, where they were noticed at various periods during the
evening by a police-officer, who ultimately went towards them,
when they took to their heels. He succeeded in capturing..
Cameron and Ullathorne ; and Prendergast was apprehended
the same night with the nails and diamonds in his possession.
Nothing was found on the other prisoners. It appeared that
the shop door had been forced open by means of an iron bar.
Prendergast was committed for trial ; the other prisoners were
remanded for a week.
LECTURE AT ST. MARY'S SCHOOL, KIRKDALE.—On Fri-
day, Gregory M. Wortabet, Esq., delivered a most interesting
and eloquent lecture on the Influence of the Bible, in St.
Mary's School, Kirkdale, which was listened to with the
greatest attention and delight, and at the close of it the an-
dienceexpressed their satisfaction by a very warm response and
a vote of thanks. The same gentleman has very handsomely
offered to lecture again, in the same place, on Friday next, at
half-past 7 o'clock, in aid of liquidating the debt for the repairs
of the church, when it is hoped that the lecturer will have as
numerous an assemblage as his eloquence and earnestness in
the cause of truth so richly deserves. The chair was taken by
the Rev. T. Major Lester, incumbent, and on the platform were
the Rev. V. Sheldon, incumbent of St. Matthias', Rev. J. Gil-
mour, minister of Christ Church, and Rev. W. A. Tattersall,
curate of Walton, all of whom took part in the proceedings.
SAILING OF THE GREAT BRITAIN.—On Tuesday, Messrs.
Gibbs, Bright, and Co.'s screw steam-ship the Great Britain,
Lieut. Chapman Wise, R.N., Admiralty agent, in charge, left
her moorings in the Sloyne, and proceeded to sea. This
" leviathan" of the deep has on board a very precious freight—
upwards of 1,000 souls. She has taken out 500 tons of pro-
jectiles-5,803 shells—besides 35 huts, 22 horses, 44 officers,
and 881 rank and file, made up from detachments of the 4th,
sth, and 6th Dragoon Guards ; the Bth and 11th Hussars ;
2nd Dragoons, 4th and 13th Light Dragoons ; 17th Lancers ;
Grenadier Guards, 9th, 17th, 79th, 92nd, and 94th regiments
of the line. Captain Bruce, of the 94th regiment, is the com-
manding officer. The Great Britain will call at Gibraltar to
land six officers and 214 men of the 94th and the other line
regiments ; at Malta, to land 20 officers of different regiments
stationed there ; at Constantinople, to land £1,500,000 of the
new Turkish Loan, and from thence to Balaklava, where the
cavalry, consisting of 12 officers and 667 men, with 22 horses,
will disembark.
IMPORTS or PALM OlL.—The difference of opinion which
has been noticed in our columns on the subject of palm oil has
induced us to procure an official account of the quantity im-
ported into Liverpool. We have to state; in consequence, that
n 17.3 ;nFnn.nnri Li, ell flinritv that 4.ha tin/salty of palm
oil imported into Liverpool from the 6th of January w quo o~
of July, inclusive, was 290,353 cwts., or 14,517 tons. The
Liverpool Brokers' Circular, to which we referred on the 18th
instant, stated the quantity imported between the Ist of
January and the 31st of July at 18,580 tons— a difference of
4,063 tons ; but some allowance is to be made for the longer
period of five days' importations included in the circular. Our
correspondent stated the quantity imported to the same period
at 18,900 tons, and neither is in accordance with the official
account. The discrepancy deserves notice as a convincing
proof that either the merchants and brokers' statements, or
the official accounts, are incorrect. We cannot believe in the
inaccuracy of the latter, and the discrepancy, therefore, serves
to throw discredit on many mercantile statements.—

nesday, et db
tor for the bankrupt, was examined as attorney for the trus-
tees, and produced duplicates of the deed of assignment, one
called an instrument, executed by Mr. Oliver on the 7th
signed and sealed, the other signed merely, the latter being
October, and by the trustees on the 16th. He could not tell
the number of signatures to the deeds, but he said they had
been signed by 6-7ths of the creditors. Notice was given of
the day on which the deed would be signed by advertisement
in the London Gazette, and a month after its execution it
had also been advertised in the Times and in the Liverpool
Mercury. As far as the witness knew, the schedule of the
creditors comprised all the debts of Mr. Oliver. The judge at
the recent assize ruled that the deed was good, but reserved
the point for Mr. Watson. In reply to Mr. Aspinall, who
supported the petition, Mr. Lowndes said he did not know
whether any of the signatures had been put to the docu-
ments since the certificate. He believed about eighteen
creditors had signed both documents; but he could give no
idea as to how many signatures there were to each of
the deeds. William Jones, clerk to Mr. Evans, said he
had counted the signatures; there were 161 to the
deed, and only 153 to the instrument. He had also
counted the list of creditors of Mr. Oliver, appended
to the certificate, from £lO and upwards, and found there
were 222 above 210, and 400 at £lO. The petition for setting
aside the adjudication, presented on the 12th October by Mr.
Samson, was then read, under an objection from Mr. Quaine,
who opposed the adjudication. Edward Wynn, clerk to Mr.
Oliver, was next examined, chiefly with respect to the signa-
tures to the deed. He described them all as genuine, and went
through them seriatim. They included amongst others the
names of R. W. Preston and Co.; Overend, Gurney, and Co. ;
Royal British Banking . Co;- Northern Bank ; Kirk and Fur-
ness ; J. de Wolff and Co. ; Canard, Munn, and Co.; Fernie
Brothers ; James Baines and Co.; Henry Moore and

courts were afterwards opened. Mr. Bardswell, however,
having made an application for a private hearing, it should be

LETTERS FROM THE CRIMEA.
(Fnom THE TIMES' CORRESPONDENT.)
CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, Aug. 27.
The state -of tension in which we were kept during the
greater part of last week, in daily and almost hourly expecta-
tion of an attack, has somewhat relaxed during the last
twenty-four hours, although every precaution continues to be
taken. On the night from Friday to Saturday our com-
manders seem to have felt very confident that something
serious would occur; everybody was afoot, cr in readiness to
turn out at an instant's notice, and dusty and disgusted
enough looked some of the staff after knocking about all night
in anticipation of a fight that came not. It was doubtless in con-
sequence of the severe extra duty thus entailed on officers as
well as men, that the ceremony of the investiture of the Order of
the Bath was postponed until two o'clock to-day, when it is
to take place with due pomp at General Simpson's head-
quarters.
The Highlanders having been countermanded from trench
duty on Friday evening, and marched over to Kamara at
two o'clock in the morning to support the Sardinians, the
Guards alone went to the trenches, and consequently the
Light Division remained there thirty-six hours, instead of
twenty-four. The Guards had two casualties among the
officers—Colonel Francis Seymour, wounded, not seriously,
and Captain Drummond shot through the lungs. Hopes are
entertained of saving the latter officer's life. The Highland
Division came back to camp on Saturday, and returned to
Karnara at night, to remain there, as they expect, about a
week. The 56th Regiment, about 700 strong, having arrived
at Balaklava, were detained a day or two on board ship, until
their destination should be decided upon. It had been in-
, tended to send them to Kertch ; on Saturday it was said they
would go to Kamara, but they have finally been annexed to
the First Division. The army continues to get under arms
before daybreak, cavalry and all. Yesterday the latter arm
turned out 2,950 British sabres and lances, and, had needs
been, 500 or COO more could have been brought into the field.
Although many here have been dieposed to treat as idle
rumour and even to turn into ridicule the reports that the
Russians meditated an attack on Balaklava, it would appear
this danger has not been disregarded at head-quarters, where
information has doubtless been received on the subject. The
Leander and Diamond frigates have been lying moored by a
single cable, and Lieut. Fletcher, commanding the Triton
war-steamer,' has directions to be in readiness to get his steam
up at brief notice, and tow them out of Balaklava harbour to
a position whence their guns would bear on the Marine
Heights.
Notwithstanding all these preparations for action, I repeat
that people seem less confident, or, at any rate talk less of that
which two or three days ago every one declared to be immi-
nent: and last evening some sanguine spirits, who doubtless,
with good reason, would prefer a day on the moors to a night
in the trenches, were heard confidently to predict approaching
peace. The Russians, they declared, could sustain the con-
test no longer, owing to the want of water and the difficulty
of obtaining supplies ; their final attempt had been made at
the action of the 16th, and, finding themselves totally repulsed
with heavy loss at the point they had selected as offering
most chances of success, they would not risk another attack,
but would yield, treat for peace, make the necessary conces-
sions, and in a couple of months the British army would go
home again. The hopefulness of youth and a certain vivacity
of imagination may doubtless qualify a man to produce rose-
tinted sketches of this kind, and there certainly can be no
manner of question as to the immense superiority of a merry
Christmas in England to a muddy one on Balaklava's heights
any more than of that of the smoking sirloin and tenderly fed
turkey over Crimea's lean kine and fowls that refuse to
be fattened. But there is no magic in wishes any more than
in words, and it is to be feared that these prophets of peace
underrate the Russian's tenacity and endurance. It is
certain that his position is a difficult one, if, as is
now the growing belief, he runs short of water and cannot get
up supplies fast enough for the number of men necessary to
hold his position. That such is the case we have evidence
worthy of consideration, but which yet must not be unhesita-
tingly received, since it is chiefly that of deserters. Accepting
it, for argument's sake, as trustworthy and positive, the
enemy's only alternative is to attack or to give in. To get
them to attack is just what is most to be desired. Setting
aside the idea of a siege, we have two powerful armies, each
occupying a line of extremely strong positions, not to be taken
without severe loss and some risk of defeat. Evidently the
disadvantage is with the army which is first compelled to as-
sume the offensive. The result of the action on the Tchernaya
is sufficient proof of this. Since it occurred the defences of the
point then assailed have been greatly improved by the French,
who laugh at the idea of a similar attempt being made with
even a shadow of success. An attempt on Balaklava or a
general attack on our lines would be a strong indication that
the statements of the straitened condition of the Russians are
well founded, and that they are driven to a desperate effort.
Such an attack, if our generals prove as able as we know our
soldiers to be brave, ought to recoil with terrible force upon
the heads of the assailants, occasioning them heavy losses of
men, and giving us solid proofs of success in the shape of
newly-acquired positions.
Besides the reports current of approaching famine and actual
drought in the Russian camp, there are others of the plague
being in Sebastopol and of a mutiny having broken out, in I

W,-tr..y, the left ...thane to advance. Several new
batteries—one of 15 mortars —have been constructed in front
of what were recently our most advanced positions on that
part of the line. The Greenhill Battery, lately so prominent,
now appears retiring into the rear. There was a heavy fire
before daybreak this morning. The Russians showed them-
selves outside the Redan, but it was too hot to hold, and they
promptly retired. To-day the batteries have been very quiet.
MONDAY NIGHT.
The ceremony of the Investiture of the Order of the Bath
came off to-day between one and two o'clock. Sir Harry
Jones was ill and unable to attend, and Lord Stratford
de Redcliffe went to his quarters and invested him there.
Lord Stratford, I think I mentioned in my last, arrived
here two days ago, accompanied by Lord Napier, M. Pisani,
Mr. Moore, Mr. Brodie, Mr. Allison, and by Dr. Tice, staff-
surgeon, as medical attendant. The place where to-day's
ceremony came off was a square court in front of
General Simpson's quarters. One side of the court
is formed by the long, low building occupied by the
English commander-in-chief, two others by stables and out-
buildings,
while the fourth is open to the downs. This
square, over which, a year ago, Crimean pigs and poultry
grunted and crowed, glittered to-day with British and French
uniforms, gilding, and embroidery. At the entrance to the
house a sort of tent was formed of flags. Above waved the
standard of England, flanked by the British ensign and
French tricolour, and by the Sardinian and Turkish colours.
The square of buildings was lined by another of troops—de-
tachments of Guards, Rifles, Line, Artillery, Cavalry, and
Naval Brigade. From the side facing the house there ex-
tended a double line pf lancer sentries along a gentle slope, at
the extremity of which guns were in readiness to fire the sa-
lute. Inside the square assembled a number of officers in full
dress. Outside were other officers and a few civilians, among
whom some ladies' riding habits were to be observed. Gen.
Pelissier came in his carriage, with his staff, and other French
generals were there. The corpulent person and dark com-
plexion of the French commander contrasted strikingly with
General Simpson's tall, slender figure and white hair. When
all were assembled the ceremony was proceeded with. Lord
Stratford made a dignified speech, which acquired additional
interest from the circumstances. He remarked on the unpre-
cedented nature of the investiture, occurring, as it did, almost
on the ground where the services had been rendered and the
exploits achieved for which the honour was conferred, and al-
most under fire of the enemy's guns. As he spoke the words a
loud boom from the batteries gave peculiar appropriateness to
his expressions and a dramatic interest to the scene. Sir Colin
Campbell and Sir Edmund Lyons each spoke a few words in
reply. The troops presented arms, the band played " God
Save the Queen," the artillery fired a Royal salute, and then
the force assembled, which was about 1,000 men, filed off, and
the numerous groups of officers shortly left the ground. The
pageant was favoured by a brilliant sunshine, tempered by a
pleasant breeze, and could not have gone of better.
Later in the afternoon we had a spectacle of a different
kind, but, in its humble way, of a not less interesting nature.
Soyer, the Regenerator, now the camp cook par excellence,
opened his kitchens on the esplanade in front of the Guards'
camp. A row of huge iron boilers supplied each one its dif-
ferent soup or stew, concocted entirely from the rations daily
furnished to the troops. From the summit of a large marquee
fluttered the French and English colours ; smaller flags waved
gaily over the enclosure, which was formed by garlands of
foliage. The guests, who were very numerous, paid due homage
to the savoury cauldrons, the depth of which alone saved them
from speedy exhaustion. There was no denying the excellence
of the cookery. 5 o'clock is a hungry hour in the Crimea ;
and I can answer for it that few of the guests contented them-
selves with merely tasting. General Simpson smiled approba-
tion of the skill of the French artiste, and General Pelissier
seemed highly to enjoy his countryman's potage. A great
number of persons were present. There were rice pudding
and Cossack plumpudding (all rations), snug tents, with cham-
pagne, and the most crystalline of ice (not rations), and Soyer
was voted, nem. con., the worthy chef of the army in the
Crimea. To speak seriously, he will render real service if he
teaches the soldier, as I understand he proposes to do, to make
the most of the very excellent materials now supplied to him,
and which hitherto have unquestionably been more or less
wasted through ignorance of a few of the simplest laws of the
gastronomic science.

THE BALTIC.
D, St.
On Sunday last, the Imperieuse and Colossus were h anchepored
some seven or eight miles off Tolboukin Lighthouse, and, on a
dense fog clearing off, they saw a Russian squadron, consisting
of a 90-gun steam line of battle-ship, a frigate, two steamers,
and some gun-boats almost close to them. They immediately
pushed in to meet the enemy, when the Russian squadron ran
into port. The two English vessels chased them right Snside
Tolbollkin as close as they could go to the batteries,

both parties are considerably to blame. By this time, all the
Trcrld knows that that official connexion which was inaugu-
rated at the Reform Club, and moistened and cemented by
copious streams, drawn from the inspiring fountains which
play in Bacchanalian groves, has ended in a rupture, and that
the valiant Admiral, whose discretion was doubted ere he
started, but proved in the Baltic campaign, has printed and
published a mass of correspondence with his quondam friend
and boon companion, in which neither cuts a very creditable
figure; while, from its publication, the-country may suffer some
detriment. Among the odds and ends of this singular corres-
pondence, is one circumstance which has occasioned much
remark. Sir CHARLES NAPIER alleges that by the same mail
which brought him despatches from the Admiralty, he
received a communication from the Jupiter Tonans of
Printing-house-square, containing admonitions of a similar
character to those contaimd in the Admiralty despatches. A
leader in the Morning Advertiser, in which journal the cor-
respondence, or such portions of it as have been published,
appear, states that the Editor of that paper had the letter in
his possession. The deduction sought by the testy Admiral
and his newly-found friend, from this letter, is, that the Ad-
miralty rules the fleet, and that the Times directs the Admi-
ralty ; a nice state of affairs, truly, on which the Times, with
cautious prudence, remains discreetly silent.
While these foolish exposures tend greatly to discredit the
public service, matters of more serious moment relative to our
Admiralty arrangements force themselves on attention from
different quarters. It now appears certain that the mortar-
boats, furnished as an important supplementary force to the
Baltic fleet, have been so faulty in construction, that they are
already useless, and that the fleet of these lame ducks is on its
way home from the inhospitable north. In Parisian naval,
military, and political circles the rumour is current, and cur-
rently credited, that " the English mortar-boats soon became
useless at the bombardment of Sweaborg, and that their con-
struction and fitness are altogether decidedly inferior to those
of the French boats of the same construction, rendering their
fire less precise and effective." The same rumour adds that,
consequent on the defective construction of these English
mortar-boats, Admiral DUNDAS was forced to oppose a further
prosecution of the bombardment, when pressed to continue it
by Admiral PENA.UD, and further that he was ultimately driven
to avow that the deplorable state of his materiel would pre-
vent his renewing the combat. If these obnoxious rumours
prove correct, the vaunted naval supremacy of England is
apparently far advanced on its way towards annihilation.
Such sinister reports as these demand immediate refutation,
if untrue ; if true, instant attention with a view to remedy.
The news and the rumours which each passing day brings
with it from the Crimea, if not sources of immediate apprehen-
sion, are nevertheless so interwoven with portentous urgency
and gloom, as to cause serious uneasiness in quarters not
liable to the charge of fear. The official despatches which for
some time past have reached this country breathe such an air
of uncertainty and hesitation as to give countenance to un-
comfortable rumours of divided counsels among the allied
commanders. At all events, the movements, disposition, and
indicated feeling of the French and English generals give no
token of an expected speedy termination to the siege of Sebas-
topol. General SIMPSON writes as if he were labouring under
some undefined and oppressive sense of the actual power of the
enemy, whose resources, we are also requested to believe, are
exhausted in the Crimea. From various sources the people of
this country are taught to believe that provisions of all sorts
are scarce among all the divisions of the Russian army ; but
still we learn from General Snapsolv, that "The enemy have
been concentrating troops, and are supposed to have received
considerable reinforcements, which probably consist of two
divisions of grenadiers, which have been conveyed in carts
from Bakshi Serai and Simpheropol. From various sources
we learn that the Russians on the right bank of the Tchernaya
are held in perfect readiness for an attack." This does not
savour much of exhaustion. An enemy which could convey
two Russian divisions of an army from a considerable distance,
in carts, cannot be destitute. That army which is held in
readiness for an attack upon another numbering- 200,000 men
cannot be fairly looked on as exhausted. The truth is, and every
one here feels it to be so, we do not know, and never have known,
the actual condition and position of the Russian army in and
within march of the Crimea. Our armies landed on its shores
without an idea of what was to be encountered, and they con-
tinue in the same unsatisfactory state of ignorance to all
appearance up to the present moment. As in the most im-
portant periods of last year's campaign, we are once more
driven to Russian channels for intelligence. Prince Gourscrak-
KOFF himself now admits that "the fortifications of Sebastopol
have been greatly damaged, and that the garrison have
suffered heavy losses." In corroboration of these facts it is
stated, in well-informed quarters, that the fire of the -Malakhoff
has been almost silenced, and an extensive breach has been
made in the works of the Redan. The latest published
despatches up to Saturday night intimate a vigorous resump-
tion of the bombardment on Wednesday last at daybreak, and
its steady continuance on that and the_following day, with
some show of result, a gratifying incident of which was the
burning of a Russian ship in the harbour, showing clearly
that the guns of the Allies have at last obtained command of
such important points as to reach the shipping.
Last night a great sensation was created all over the metro-
polis, by an announcement from the war department, inti-
mating that on Saturday at noon a combined attack had been
made by the English and French troops on the defences of
Sebastopol. The French were successful in carrying and re-
taining the Malakoff, but the same amount of good fortune
does not appear to have followed the British attack upon the
Redan, which General SniPsoN simply mentions as having
been unsuccessful. The military problem now to be solved is,
whether the possession of the Malakoff and the Redan (for
the fall of the latter is considered to be ensured by that of the
former), the Allies will be able so to command the chief de-
fences of the north side of Sebastopol as to render the town
tenable. Considerable diversity of opinion prevails on this
point, some of the military authorities maintaining that the
Malakoff is so situated as to command the harbour, and also
to bring the principal northern forts within range of its guns.
Others conjecture that most of those forts are beyond the
probability of its range.
Among the domestic topics of political importance which at
present occupy attention, is a rumour circulated, "on good
authority," that ere long there will be further changes in the
organisation of the Ministry ; that a coalition is in the course--
of formation against the rule of Lord PAL:am:mom, by Lord;:'
JOHN RUSSELL, Sir JAMES CinAnlar, Mr. Gnannowz, alzd
other members of the Peelite party, along with COBDEN and
BRIGHT, and the tribe of ultra-peace-Eberals. It is under-
stood
that the policy of this new coalitior‘when formed, which
there is reason for believing will •be shortly, is to be, the
peaceful prosecution of agriculture, manufactures, and com-
merce. Indeed, the battle-cry of the party was to some-
extent raised the other day by Sir j:kiins GRAHAM,, while
engaged in "the turf-cutting trade" at the commencement of
a new railway near Carlisle. After haying turned the first sod,-
the consistent baronet made an oration, in which he said it
was highly gratifying to his feelings to have been sa occupied
that day, "amidst the din of war and the prodigal, and fruit-
less expenditure of the public - money." In a subsequent
speech, made in responding to ,"the members for Carlisle,"•
drunk by the assembled multitude as a toast, Sir JAMES- set
himself forward as an exponent of the policy pursued by the
late Sir ROBERT PEEL, and insinuated that, if that right-
honourable baronet had been-alive, he would have pursued the,
same policy as he (Sir JAy.xs , GRAHAM) was now following..
This was too much for even a Cumberland gathering to
receive from Sir JAMES. GRAHAM.; and a lie. Jk.vEs, while
disclaiming any knowledge of how Sir RORSILT PEEL, would
have acted inthe present emergency, reminded the antagonist
of Sir CHARLES NA:pisn, that his model statesman had
changed his opinion upon the Corn-laws and some other
subjects, and plainly demonstrated, amidst the cheers and
laughter of the assemblage, that the peace-at-any-price slogan
of the new coalition would meet only with a derisive answer
from the public..
For a time. extending so far back, that it would be unsafe
to pretend a. recollection of its commencement, it has been
the habit,, among the profane vulgar of the outer world, at
least, to regard the preparations requisite for discharging the
highest legal functions to consist chiefly in the payment of
certain, fees to a limited number of respectable elderly gent
tlomen, and the eating of mutton at stated periods of the day
in Lincoln's Inn for a prescribed number of years. This,
like other proscriptively enjoyed prejudices, is doomed to be
swept away before the rising sun of intelligence. The mem-
bers of the Council of Legal Education have issued from
their Chamber at Lincoln's Inn a document which prescribes
the various text-books and subjects upon which students shall
be examined, and a comprehensive knowledge of which shall
be indispensable to their acquiring a status in the legal pro-
fession. The prescribed course of study is liberal in the
legitimate sense of that much-abused adjective embracing all
the departments of statutory law and equity. In the selected
•list of works on which examinations shall be taken, the
treatises of those who have shown peculiar aptitude and
diligence in the literature of the profession, as well as in other
walks of literary art, find special favour. This will be at once
understood, when it is mentioned that the works of SUGDEN,
of STEPHENS, and WARREN form portions of the necessary
curriculum. These new regulations, if properly acted up to,
must have the effect of greatly improving the elementary
legal education of our young lawyers ; the practical portions
they must of course derive in a great measure from profes-
sional contests with their elder brethern, and with each other
One is occasionally amused, as well as sometimes puzzled'
at the odd bits of gossippy intelligence which come in sugar;
drops in referme to the domestic doings of our transatlantic
brethren and sisters. Lively and unceasing xüental excite-
ment keeps their energies continually on the stretch. Now a
baby-show engages their attention—speedily an anti-liquor
law seizes on the wits of the spirited disputants, who proceed
with fists and bludgeons, bowie-knives and revolvers, to settle
the question of individual partialities. Women's Rights Con-
ventions present a sort of safety-valve for blowing off the
social steam of both sexes, and these, to their credit be it said,
generally end in nothing more destructive than a volley of
very peppery verbal missiles. At Baltimore a new esprit de
publique has been evoked, a desperate recont re having, as we
are informed, taken place between the rival Fire Insurance
Companies of that peaceful city, in the course of which not
fewer than fifty pistol shots were fired, happily without the
sacrifice of human life. Such active rivalry as this denotes is,
fortunately, unknown among our less ardent candidates for
popular favour.
RIGGING THE BAROMETER.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
" IVhen Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war."
SlR,—The above prefix would bear a substitute for the last
word, not very creditable to the honor of the once classic land
of Greece.
A more audacious piece of daring could not well be attempted
on our commercial community than those of the liberties
recently taken with our Exchange weather-instrument.—
Whether the culprit be Jew, Gentile, or, as currently reported
and generally credited, Greek, I hope our Exchange Com-
mittee will exert themselves to bring home conviction to the
rogue in grain, and proceed at once to his ignominious expul-
sion from the mart of commerce. Assuming the correctness
of what is so confidently stated, namely, that the delinquent
is a native of Greece, the offence becomes doubly offensive'
from the recollection of the open and unblushing mani-
festations of pleasure exhibited by those natives at any
supposed advantage gained by our Russian foe, and by
their chuckling delight and personal congratulations
at any supposed reverse of the allied arms ;—an
offence too long tolerated, and that may meet with a humi-
liating set-down, if persisted in. With the ancient courage,
the ancient honour also of that classic soil has fled ; and what
was once the seat of art, science, manly courage, and virtue, is
now but a howling wilderness or nest of pirates, brigands,
and shuffling poltroons. A little self-examination, and a few
moments devoted to the consideration of their country and
countrymen and of the humiliating and degraded position it
and they now occupy, morally and politically, amongthe &mi."
lies of nations, ought to teach them reserve, and instil a defe-
rential respect and gratitude for liberties afforded and courte-
sies shown to them in this country. The guilty individual,
whoever he may be, or of whatever country a native, ought to
be ferretted out and visited with the degradation of an open
expulsion from the Exchange he has disgraced, and the mer-
cantile community he has compromised. It is manifest he
would live by ∧ if it yielded a larger return than honesty
and fair dealing, and the sooner at expurgation of the offen-
sive member is effected the better. The matter ought not to
rest. If discovery be possible, no pains ought to be spared to
realise it, and, once obtained, retributive visitation ought to'
follow, if our Exchange is to be preserved from a fall to the
level of degraded Greece, or its members protected from the
suspicion of Greek turpitude and practices: ARGUS.
SUGGESTED AMALGAMATION OF
BIRKENHEAD WITH LIVERPOOL.
TRH' monthly meeting of the Birkenhead Commissioners
was held on Tuesday last. The business under consideration
was chiefly of a routine character,• and at the conclusion of
the ordinary proceedings the meeting was made special for
the purpose of considering the propriety of openingee com-
munication with the Mayor and Town- Council of Liverpool,
as to the incorporation of the townships- of Birkenhead and
Claughton with the borough of Liverpool,
The- Chairman (Mr. John Laird) in- introducing the- sub-
ject remarked that a great deal had been said in the 'town-
ship on the subject, and, of course, the • principal point at
once arising in any discussion of it was the amount of, retie
to which the inhabitants of Birkenhead would be liable, sup--
posing an amalgamation with Liverpeol:to be carried• out;
and the desirability of the lighting. watching, and sewerage
rates of the- township' not exceeding what' they were- at
present, namely, 3s. in• the pound. Comparing their local
rates with those of Liverpool and otherneighbouring plades;
he found that the rates-of the parish of Liverpool (including:
the poor-rate) were 4s. 41e1. in the pound ; for the township
of West Derby, 3s. 6d. ; Kirkdale, 4s. 3d. ' - Everton, 35.1111.4
Toxteth-park, 3s. 1I i ; Oxton, is. 9.d..; Poultoreceene•l
Seacombe, 3s. ;: Tranmere, is. 9id.; Birkenhead, -4s. 4d e; .1
Claughton, 2s. 14d. So that at the present time the rates of
Liverpool and Birkenhead were within a halfpenny of each
other. Supposhee arrangement to be cameo our, cue.el 111
ought to be a stipulation tom, ineresee -was made in thee
rates of Birkenhead to pay any debts of Liverpool. Another I
point was, that the Corporation of Liverpool ought 'to adept-
the bond debt, and any other liabilities of the township, and
pay a rate of interest upon the debt to be agreed on with the
bondholders. The bonded debt amounted in round number*,
to £390,000; the ferry, debt to £103,000e• the township debt
to £251000; and arrears of interest dreut the present time
to £67,000: making a total debt of £Bll,OOO. If the corpora-
tion took .the debt, they would, of course,. take- with it the pro•
-
perty of the commissioners in the ferry, the pezk, the market;
and their lands unsold, along with their right to levy rates-to-
the extent of three shillings in the pound.. If such an arrange
ment were made, he thought that the corporation would
eventually be no losers-by the purchase. Another point would.
be clearly the insisting upon the maintenance of the present
rates of ferryage,- as charged by the commissioners, ins teadof
the maximum rates allowed by the present act of parliament.
Those rates, as fixed by the set, were—fen every single person-
not at =tractor, 2d.; contracts for oneperson for a year,6oB.;
half-year, 40s. ; :three- ,months, 305.; and: for every additional.
member of the same family dwelling together ( except loaners
and female servants); for a year, 20s.e half-year, 15e.; three
months, 10s. The tolls now charged by the commissioners
were—for every single person, ld. ' • centraots .for one person
for a year, 255.; half.yenr, 17s. 6c1.; three months, 12e. Ott. ;
and for every additional member of the family for- the
same time time respectively, 10e, .7e. ed., ,and is. _ He
thought that those:-rates should be axed as the neininnont,
in any.condition of• arnalgamation. The next point raised
was the question of: representation,. Of course Birkeenhecal
must possess proper, representation in the Liverpool. Codas-.
and the Dock Committee, which would be' a sub,.
jest of arrangement with the Corporation. The advantagento
Birkenhead of such an arrangement were, first, the giving, to
Liverpool, including the docks, such, a heavy stake in„Birhen-
head as to secure a fair expenditere of the revenues, tire.
The second advantage would be the immediate payment of
interest upon the bond debt, and the beneficial effect of timer-
pool credit acting at once •on Birkenhmd property,,insteeel of
such results being deferred, perhape, for years, and. then an
arrangement of no better charattkr having to be come tn.. • So
long as-the interest upon the bendecl debt remained unpaid, it
was a great drawback to partiesedeArous to invest money in
the place. The third advantage would be that• of reducing
the maximum rates of the ferry, and giving Liyerpod such a
stake -in Birkenhead as to melee it her interest-, to reduce the
rates still lower—say even to a halfpenny. The-fourth advan-
tage • would/ be - the Y removal, of the present , restrictions on
the price of the park and other lands, thus enabling the Cor-
poration to• sell it at a moderate price, which must tend to
increase building operations in the township. On the other
hand, the advantages to Liverpool were very manifest. From.
Birkenhead they had always had the greatest opposition fee,
severaLyears, causing them to expend ge•eat.suece of money—
in fact,,Birkenhead had always been a thorn in their side. By
the possession of Birkenhead, they wouldget rid of the point
from which all, or most of the attacks upon 7iverpool andite
revenues had originated, and give them. the Parliamentary
support of the Cheshire side of the water, and of all districts
for-which Birkenhead is the port. The corporation would
thus do away with all the bad feelingeand disputes which, for
the last ten years, has. injured. Liverpool and kept-, back
Birkenhead, allowing other ports.to "go ahead" and musing
an unprofitable expenditure on. docks on both sides of the
river to the extent of millions, and in law and parliamentary
expenses of perhaps. £2Q0,000.;:. audit would make all parties,
on the Liverpool and Cheshire shores of the Mersey, have but
one common interest—nuukely, the promotion of the trade of
that estuary.. The advantage to the trading public generally
would be the saving of =necessary outlay, from both sides
of the river being• placed. under one management. To show,
the unnecessary outlay that had occurred, he might mention
that, in 1844, the Liverpool Dock debt was £1,600,000 ; it wag
now £5,500,000, showing an increase, since 1844, of £3,900,900.
On the Birkenhead Docks the company had, spent £1,000;000,
and the trustees £600,000 ; together £1,600,000. The interest
lost upon this, was £400,000, making an expenditaro of
£2,000,000 together ; which, added to- the amount or the
increase upon the Liverpool Dock debt--X3,9oo,ooo—showed
a dock expenditure on the Mersey, daring the last ten years,
of not less than £5,900,000. He believed that, by a judicious
expenditure. on the Birkenhead works, one-half of that amount
would have• accommodated the increased trade of the port. In
addition to this, there were numerous mune expended in
railway extensions, which were not productive, owing to the
non-completion of the docks. The trading and manufacturing
public, generally, lost by a useless expenditure in public
works, and would therefore be benefited by any system that
would ensure good accommodation at less cost. There- were
various other reasons why an arrangement of this kind would
be desirable. The dock extension question, he thought, would
then be pretty well settled. If they could amalgamate the
two towns—make Liverpool and Birkenhead one—then, he
thought, it would be more to the interest of Liverpool to expend
money in Birkenhead, instead of going to the extreme north
and south with their docks. It would also, in that case, benefit
the freehold property of the Corporation in Liverpool, which
principally lay between St. Paul's Church-yard and the Queen's
Dock. If they came to such an arrangement, be thought they
were not likely to hear any more of either north 'or 'south
extension. He (the Chairman) had waited on the Mayor of
Liverpool that morning on the subject of the amalgamation,
and had asked him, if the Commissioners should appoint a
committee to meet the Council, what steps the latter would
take. The Mayor replied that he would bring any resolution
he might enclose to him before the Town Council, as one of
the Mayor's communications; and the Mayor added that, from
the feeling expressed at the last meeting of the Council, and
in the town generally, he had no doubt the advance of the
Commissioners would be warmly responded to. He, (the
Chairman,) as one who had a great interest in Birkenhead,
would never agree to any arrangement likely to damage the
interest of either the landowners or the householders of the
township. He thought the Commissioners might leave the
matter in the hands of a committee.
After a brief discussion, the following motion was proposed
by the Chairman, and seconded by Mr. Gough :—" That the
subject be referred to the Finance Committee, with power to
negotiate with the Town Council of Liverpool thereon, to learn
the sentiments of the Council, and to report to this board
before proceeding further." It was carried, with only three
dissentients, Messrs, Cook, Curry, and Whittingham,

A second supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday,
September 4, contains the following despatch from General
Simpson, dated Before Sebastopol, Aug. 25
MY LORD,—Having been engaged since daylight in a care-
ful observation of the position in front of Balaklava, I am
unable to address your Lordship at any length to-day.
The enemy have been concentrating troops at the Mackenzie,
Tasova, and Karales, their left extending as far as the village
of Makoul, and are supposed to have received considerable re-
inforcements, which probably consist of two divisions of
Grenadiers, which have been conveyed in carts from Bak-
shiserai and Simpheropol.
The bridge across the Great Harbour is nearly completed,
and large bodies of men are employed in erecting earthworks
on the north side of the harbour. Entrenchments have been
thrown up on the Severnaya-hill, extending from the sea coast
to the site of the first lighthouse, facing the north.
From various sources we learn that the Russians on the
right bank of the Tchernaya are held in perfect readiness for
an offensive movement.
Our siege operations progress steadily, with, I regret to say,
heavy casualties on our side, as your lordship will see by the
accompanying lists.—l have, &c.,
JAMES SIMPSON, General Commanding.
The total casualties are-2 sergeants, 24 rank and file,
killed; 8 officers, 6 sergeants, 168 rank and file, wounded.
The Invalide Russe publishes the following extracts from
Prince Gortschakoff's diary of the siege from the 14th to the
18th of August:—
"The fire of the enemy before Sebastopol, from the 2nd to
6th (14th-18th) of August, which was very heavy at times,
became almost incessant after nightfall. The besiegers throw
in a great quantity of hollow shells against the works of the
town.
" On the 4th (16th) the fire against the town was slack.
"On the sth (17th) at 4 30 a.m., the enemy opened a new
cannonade and bombardment. They had succeeded, for this
object, in placing a large number of mortars in their nearest
trenches. The fire of the besiegers was directed against the
Karabelnaia, and the works which defend that part of the town.
" On our side, despite the violence of this bombardment, the
artillery of the town replied with constant success, and with
no less energy than that of the enemy, and by its well-directed
fire, silenced on the sth (17th) some of their batteries, and de-
stroyed the embrasures of others. The serious damage done
to our fortifications was repaired by us as well as posssble,
although the incessant fire at short range of the besiegers con-
siderably delays the works.
" Our losses, which were moderate during the first three
days, were considerable on the sth (17th".)

ATTACK ON BRANDON, IN THE GULF OF BOTHNIA.
INTREPID CONDUCT OF LIEUT. BURSTALL.
HER MAJESTY'S STEAMER FIREFLY, Ledsund, Aug. 20.
On Wednesday, the Ist of August, the two paddle-box
boats of the Firefly, and the captain's gig, left the ship at
Korsoren, which is at the estuary of the inlet leading to
Wasa, and pulled up to Brandon (12 miles), the seaport and
great depot for shipping; here they cut out a barque and
towed her two and a half miles out and anchored her, when two
Russian soldiers (deserters) came off to them and brought infor-
mation that the troops had left Brandon to go to Wasa, thinking
that an attack would be made on that town. Captain Otter
pulled back to the ship on Thursday, when the Firefly weighed,
and, after a great deal of difficulty in finding the channels,
arrived at Brandon at midnight, where she anchored about
400 yards from the town, and a little island off it, on which
were a great many storehouses of tar, resin, and a great
quantity of timber. The boats landed on the island, and
broke open the storehouses, expecting to find the rigging
and sails of the barque, but, failing; in this, they sent a
message to the owner (Mr. Wolff) at Wasa, requesting
him to give them up, or else his stores would be burnt
as soon as the wind shifted (to prevent the fire com-
municating to the town). Pending his reply, Lieutenant
Burstal went in charge of the two paddle-box boats, and
scoured some islands and inlets, where he discovered five
vessels secreted. The first was an old schooner, which was
hauled out, and, as it was a fair wind, he sent her with two
men to the ship, and then went and found four very fine new
ships, two barques from 400 to 550 tons, and two brigs about
220 tons, quite new. The owners, seeing our movements, had
sent out some men to scuttle them, but they had not time
enough to do it, so, having plugged up the holes, Lieutenant
Burstal left them in charge of Mr. Bull, in the paddle-box
boat, while he returned to the ship to report progress. By
this time the schooner was taken alongside the store house
island, and a party of men were employed clearing the stores
and putting them on board of her. In the afternoon some of
the inhabitants had cautioned our people against remaining on
the island, as troops were expected every moment. However,
no notice was taken of it, and at half-past 7 o'clock Mr. Haim
came off with the working party, who were relieved by another
party in charge of Lieutenant Burstal. After he had visited
the sentries and seen all the people at work, at about half-past
8 o'clock Captain Otter went on shore to see how things
were getting on, and while conversing on a conspicuous
position on the island, about ten minutes after landing,
a tremendous fire of musketry from the houses, sheds, and
behind the rocks near the town opened on us ; the rifle balls
and splinters of planks flying about like hail, but, fortu-
nately, no one was touched. The working party hurried down
to the boats, which were near the schooner, and all got safely
on board the Firefly, which immediately after the first volley
of musketry, opened her fire upon wherever the musketry
came from. On the way off to the ship the boats were struck
several times. In the hurry consequent on the sudden firing
there were left on board the schooner seven muskets. The
paddle-box boat (which was away getting a barque out about
two miles off) soon came up and opened fire upon the town,
.and threw shells into the woods among the troops. The ship
was engaged with them from nine p.m. till five the next morn-
ing; the enemy's fire was nearly silenced at 11 o'clock, with
the exception of a stray shot now and then. The schooner
was completely riddled, and hopes are entertained that the
muskets are destroyed, for it would have been highly impru-
dent to send a boat to her, being within 250 yards of her
guns. At six a.m. the Firefly steamed off a mile and a half,
and took away the largest barque and burnt the three
others she had taken, one pierced for twenty guns. Hav-
ing towed the barque out, and anchored near the former
prize, it came on to blow and rain. The bad weather
continued till Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday night
information was obtained that the enemy had received a rein-
forcement of 800 men and eight large guns, and that they
had twenty-five men killed and eighteen in hospital wounded,
but, as the storehouses were not burnt, it became necessary
to keep the promise of doing so ; therefore, on Wednesday
the Firefly went in and fired at 1,500 yards with hot shot at
the island; but some batteries bad been erected in the mean-
time, which replied to us. The red-hot shot had the effect
of setting fire to the storehouses, which very soon made a
tremendous conflagration. Late in the afternoon the paadle-
box boat, with Lieutenant Ward, went in to reconnoiter
and attempt to fire another part of the island to expedite
the destruction, but he opened fire on the schooner, which
had been shifted to the main land ; he continued firing until
he saw troops about 250 yards off; who oponod fire on the
boat, which was struck several times ; and had it not been for
a hammock as a barricade, he (Lieutenant Ward) would have
been struck. The paddle-box boat was then recalled, and about
seven p.m. the Firefly weighed, and stood in a little closer to
give them a parting salute, which brought out the fire of some
heavy field guns and an immense number of rifles, which sent
their missiles on board, over a-head and astern, but no one was
hit. Several shells were droppped among them, and at half-
past nine we fired a parting shot, having expended nearly all
our ammunition, and leaving the storehouse a mass of flames.
No account has been received of the Russian loss on the
second day. The Firefly took her two barques in tow, and
got them safely to Ledsund. The weather in the Gulf of
Bothnia seems to have broken up, and a succession of gales
from all quarters is now a frequent occurrence. We reckon
we have burnt about £20,000 worth of storehouses, besides
tar and timber ; captured two fine barques, and burnt five
very fine new ships.
A list of vessels and property belonging to the enemy
taken or destroyed by her Majesty's ship Firefly from the Ist
to the 11th of August, 1855 :—The Fides, barque, 300 tons ;
cargo 228 barrels of tar ; cut out of Wasklot, near Brandon.

CANADA.—There has been much excitement lately among
the Huron Indians. and a good deal of ill-feeling manifested
by some of them against the government. This unhappy
state of affairs was occasioned by a misapprehension of some
late acts of the Government, but more especially by the in-
triguing of a Methodist preacher, who took an active part in
fomenting disaffection and discord among them for his own
advantage. As the affair began to assume a serious aspect,
the Indians having forbidden surveyors to approach their
territory, it was determined by his Excellency the Governor-
General that a grand council should be held, in order to try
and arrange matters. A council was held, therefore, at Table
River, on the 19th ult., at which Viscount Bury and suite
were present on the part of the government, and about 150
Indians, delegates from various tribes. The discussions were
very animated, but the difficulties were settled in a manner
satisfactory to all parties, except the preacher and a few of his
satellites. Everything in the political way is especially dull.
Now and then violent spasmodic efforts are made to get up an
excitement about the Maine Anti-liquor Law, or some kindred
humbug, but without success.
WEST INDIES.—The Atrato arrived at Southampton on
Thursday with the West India and Pacific mails. Her dates
are Jamaica, August 11 ; Demerara, 16th ; Trinidad, 12th ;
Barbadoes, 15th ; and St. Thomas, 22nd. She brings about
$500,000 in specie. The weather in:Jamaica was intensely
hot, the island tranquil, and fever very prevalent. The market
was dull, and bare of provisions. Exchange on London, 90
days, one per cent. premium. The yellow fever prevailed
among the troops at Barbadoes. At St. Thomas the yellow
fever was declining. Small-pox had appeared in many places.
The Eagle, with the mails from the windward route, broke
down. The mails from Demerara, Trinidad, and Barbadoes,
were sent to St. Thomas in hired vessels. Exchange on
London, 90 days, 54 to
CAPE OF GOOD Horx.—Dates to the end of June have
been received from the Cape. Business was not very brisk,
but no mercantile difficulties were apprehended. The Kaffir
taxes had been paid with the greatest alacrity by the natives,
and realised much in excess of last year. From Port Eliza-
beth we learn that, during the last quarter, up to the 9th of
June, the exports of wool had amounted to 1,626,252 .lbs.,
valued at £93,000. About 2,000 bales were lying at Graaf
Reinet awaiting carriage, and some of the upper districts
were in an equally bad plight, with no prospect of relief for
the next few months. Wool was firm at 54d. The Orange
Free State Herald states that upwards of 300 farms, to the
value of about £60,000, have changed hands in little more
than twelve months. The Natal coffee is much improved,
and now ranks in the good marks of Ceylon. There was no
change of consequence in the import trade of Cape Town.
The price of Liverpool coal has advanced to £2 10s. per ton,
and Liverpool salt to £3 10s. per ton, being an advance of ss.
per ton on each article.

Since our last summary there has not been a great amount
of transactions in our import market, but the arrivals
of cargoes have been few, and a further buoyancy has
been imparted to many articles. Notwithstanding
much undoubted tightness in money matters, a tone
of increasing confidence is springing up, and the
spring is looked for as the season in which our market
will once more be more nearly under the legitimate sway
of supply and demand than has been the case for the past two
years. A great social difficulty had arisen at Adelaide, in
consequence of the accumulation at the immigration depot of
Irish females sent out to the colony under the regulations of
the Land and Emigration Commissioners. The girls, although
healthy and strong, are generally totally unfit for domestic
service, and cannot find situations in private families. The
government, assisted by the Catholic clergymen, intend to for-
ward them to depots in various parts of the country districts,
where it is hoped the wants of the settlers will lead to employ-
ment in farm or rough household work. We doubt not that
proper representations have been made to the commissioners
to prevent a continuance of this kind of emigration. The wea-
ther during the autumn has been in the highest degree favour-
able to agriculture. Most of the farmers have got their seed
in, and the crops look in the highest degree promising. The
breadth of land under cultivation is larger than was ever
known in the colony before, and there is at present every
prospect of a most abundant harvest. As we have so often
referred to the deficiency of rain during the past season, we
may now state that the total quantity of rain during the year
1854, as indicated by the government rain-gauge, amounted to
only 12-91 inches.
DENMARK.-A letter from Berlin, in the Augsburg Gazette,
states that the Danish government has declared itself willing to
reduce the Sound-dues for all countries. It is said that Aus-
tria has strongly recommended Denmark to make the conces-
sion, and that this latter power will shortly make its inten-
tions known to all the states interested in the question.
PnussiA.—Private letters from Berlin would seem corro-
borative of what has been already said of the state of the
King of Prussia's health : his condition inspires considerable
uneasiness. The Russian party at court are in dismay, as the
death of the king would be fatal to their influence. The
Prince of Prussia, it appears, keeps apart, and does not inter-
fere, at least ostensibly, in political affairs.
ABTSSINIA.-Dr. Graph, the South African missionary, has
just returned from a mission to Abyssinia from Bishop Gobat,
of Jerusalem. He had several interviews with the King, who
seems bent upon improving his country, and his authority is
now so firmly established that he can carry his wishes into
execution. The King of Abyssinia has prohibited slavery,
renounced polygamy, banished the Jesuits, and is anxious that
some European mechanics, particularly masons, printers, and
gunmakers, should settle in his country. Mr. Plowden, our
consul in Abyssinia, has taken to European clothing again, and
has great influence with the King, to whom he gives good
advice. An Englishman of the name of Bell is one of the
first of the King's warriors, and, in battle, enjoys with three
others the great honour of wearing the same apparel as the
King, in order that the latter may not be distinguished by
his enemies. Another Englishman, named Coffin, who has
been in Abyssinia forty years, is still living there as chief of a
province, and is now sixty-eight years of age. Besides these
three Englishmen, there are nc Europeans in all Abyssinia.

WRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH.—The mani-
fold advantages to the Heads of Families from the posses-
sion of a Medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to
with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sick-
-1 ness, occurring in families more or less every day, are so obvious
to all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every
housekeeper in the kingdom.
They are an excellent aperient, create appetite, relieve languor,
and invigorate the spirits, and if taken after an indulgence at
table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose.
_ " For upwards of nine years (writes Mr. Thomas Province, of
Winchmore Hill. Middlesex,) I have experienced the efficacy of
this excellent Medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with
headache and indigestion; but a friend having induced me to
make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that st few
doses gave me great relief ; and during this long period of time
I have taken them in preference to any other medicine; and I
have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of
health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to
add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we
know of nothing to equal it."
Persons of a Full Habit, who are subject to Head-ache, Giddi-
ness, Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising from too great
a flow of Blood to the Head, should never be without them, as
many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their
immediate use. For Females, these Pills are truly excellent,
removins all obstructions, the distressing Head-ache so very pre-
valent with the sex; Depression of Spirits Dulness of Sight, Ner-
vous Affections, Blotches, Pimples, and Sallowness of the Skin,
and give a healthy and juvenile bloom to the complexion. To
Mothers they are confidently recommended as the best medicine
that can be taken; and for children of all ages they are
unequalled. As a pleasant, safe, and easy Aperient, they
unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most
successful effect. By regulating the dose, according to the age
and strength of the patient, they become suitable for every case,
in either sex, that can be required.

THE WONDER OF WONDERS ! ! !
HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.
ASTONISHING CURE OF DROPSY.
Copy of a Letter from Mr. David Simpson, of CoHingham, dated
. - -
4th Sept., 1854.
To Professor Holloway,—Sir,—It is with great pleasure I have
to inform you of a most wonderful cure of that dreadful malady,
the dropsy, effected on my daughter by the use of your invalu-
able pills. She had been under medical treatment for a long
time without deriving any benefit, although she was tapped
twice, and fourteen pounds of water taken from her each time.
After suffering very severely for some time, she finally had re-
course to your pills, and in four weeks was completely cured, after
every other remedy failed to do her the slightest good. I there-
fore feel bound to make this statement public for the benefit of
similar sufferers.—l remain, sir, yours obediently,
(Signed) DAVID SIMPSON.
WONDERFUL CURE OF ASTHMA.
Copy of a Letter from Mr. Joseph Wild, of Hyde. Cheshire,
dated the sth of Afigust, 1854.
To Professor Holloway,— Sir, Mrs. Newton (a lady well
known in this town, residing in Hanover-street) was afflicted
for years with a severe attack of asthma; difficulty of breathing,
and a most violent cough, causing severe pains in her side, parts-
cularly when she took cold; she tried many remedies, and con-
sulted different individuals, without deriving any benefit. At last
she came to me, and I advised her to take your pills and use
your ointment; after a few weeks, by perseverance with your
remedies, she was considerlibly better, and, by continuing the
same, in three months she was perfectly cured.—l remain, yours,
&c. (Signed) Jog. WILD.
INDIGESTION AND BILIOUSNESS ! EXTRAORDINARY
CURE ! !
Copy of a Letter from Mr. James Hensliall, of Ashton-under-
Lyne, dated 2stli June. 1854.
To Professor Holloway,—Sir,--4 was seriously afflicted with
indigestion, attended with frequent sickness, loss of appetite
giddiness, headache, drowsiness, and dimness of sight, an op-
pression at the pit or the stomach, and the other attendant evils
of a generally disorganised constitution. Although I tried a
variety of reputed remedies, I was not benefited, and finally I be-
came so bad that life was almost insupportable to me. At this
period I commenced using your pills, and in gratitude am bound
to confess, that after a few doses I felt considerably better, and
in six weeks was radically cured by this medicine alone, after
every other remedy had failed to afford me the slightest relief.
(Signed) JAS. HENSHALL.

Dr. DE ROOS' PI LULA VILE, or VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS.
A universal Restorative for both Sexes and all Ages, concocted
solely from the VEGETABLE kingdom; they may be administered
to the youngest Child, or to the most delicate Invalid, by merely
regulating the dose according to the age and strength of the per-
son. They remove all Disorders and Pains in the Stomach and
Bowels, as Costiveness, Spasms, Loss of Appetite, Sick Headache,
Fulness after Meals, Indigestion, Liver Complaints, Inactivity of
the Bowels, Listlessness, Heat, Pain, and Jaundiced Appearance;
and while they act thus salutarily, they must of necessity increase
the strength of the Patient. Headache, Giddiness, Singing in the
Ears, Fluttering of the Sight, and other Heavy Drowsy Sensations
—the forerunners of many fatal diseases,—as Apoplexy, Paralytic
Strokes, Epilepsy, &c., are effectually warded off by a few doses
of these Pills. 1 hey also produce sound refreshing Sleep, a keen
Appetite, and possess extraordinary efficacy in invigorating the
system, and imparting a pleasing serenity of mind. They are
unequalled as a Family Medicine; in few instances, where occa-
sionally employed in Families and Schools, will other assistance
be needed.
For Females they are truly excellent, removing Headaches,
Depression of Spirits, Dizziness of Sight, Nervousness, Dimples,
Sallowness, and giving a healthy juvenile bloom to the Complexion.
Ladies, however delicate, will find them particularly beneficial
both before and after confinement. For Elderly People they are
the most comfortable Medicine that can be taken.
Persons going Abroad, Captains, and others, cannot store more
important articles of health than the above, which, by regulating
the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquillizing the Nervous System,
will prevent those fatal diseases so prevalent abroad ; as also Sea
Sickness and other complaints incidental to long voyages and
irregular living. No Emigrant's Chest can be properly furnished
without them, for when far removed from medical aid, they will
find in these Pills a never-failing restorative.
Mr. Smith, St. Ives: "Since taking your Pills I have not once
required the services of a medical man, and feel satisfied this
would be the case generally, if people were not so much governed
by prejudice."—T. Webster, Esq., Sleaford, near Melton Mowbray :
"Having read your advertisement, I felt assured your Pills would
be of use to some of my poorer neighbours. I have had 12 boxes,
and they have derived great benefit from taking them. I shall
continue to recommend your valuable Pills to all my friends."—
Mr. Edwin Highley, 4, Mount-street, Halifax: "I find your Pilulm
Vitae a very pleasant medicine in removing headache. '—Maent-
wrog, Tan-y-Bwlch, North Wales: "Mr. Warner's compliments
to Dr. De Roos, and he finds no medicine do him so much good
as his Pilulm Vitai." _ _ _

DE ROOS' Pills, have attempted to foist upon the Purchaser

they obtain a larger profit. The GENUINE have the words

Ax immense anchor, which was lost in the Sloyne by one of
the United States mail steamers about a year ago, was dis-
covered the other day, and has been handed over to Messrs.

more than 20 tons.
FIRE AT BOOTLE.—About half-past four o'clock on Wednes-
day afternoon, a fire broke out in a stable opposite the Knows-
ley Hotel, Bootle. An alarm was given, and a body of the
county constabulary, with the assistance of the neighbours,
succeeded in extinguishing the fire.
JAMES WirsoN, the owner of the Jenny Lind, the boat
which ran into the Lively and capsized her on the Ribble a few
days ago, and Thomas Smith, the man who managed the jib-
sail on the occasion of the accident, have been committed for
trial on the charge of manslaughter.
DURABILITY OF Inort SHIPS.—The iron ship Richard
Cobden, which was built twelve years ago, by Messrs. James
Hodgson and Co., of Liverpool, will repay a visit from any one
who is interested in iron ships. She has been twelve years in
the East India trade, and has not had the slightest repairs
done to her, has never made a drop of water, and will, to all
appearance, last for an unlimited length of time. She is now'
lying west side of Salthouse Dock. This vessel has com-
pletely set aside the old notion of A 1 for twelve years.
HEALTH OF THE Towx.—The medical officer of health
reports that the health of the town is in a satisfactory state,
the deaths from diarrhoea continuing below the average. 250
deaths were registered in the week ending Saturday last.
Zymotic diseases caused 83 deaths, of which 39 were from
diarrhoea, 34 from scarlatina, 12 from fever, 3 from measles,
and 5 from hooping-cough. Diseases of the lungs caused 45
deaths, of which 23 were from consumption ; diseases of the
brain, 14 deaths; diseases of the heart, 7; debility and natural
decay, 51; convulsions, 22 ; and delirium tremens, 1.
PARENTAL CRUELTY.—On Wednesday night, Richard Dut-
ton, residing in the cellar of a house, 15, Tindle-street, Athol-
street, went home drunk, and, after cruelly beating his wife,
turned her out of the house along with her child at the breast,
and two sons of the respective ages of 15 and 9 years. The
mother and child took shelter at a neighbour's house, but the
poor lads went and laid down on a brick-kiln, where they were
found on Thursday morning at six o'clock, by Bridget Duffy,
who works at the kiln, one dlads,a d the other insensible. The
younger boy was immediately te'en home, Dr. Johnston, of
Kirkdale, was promptly in attendance, and he is likely to get
better. The father was taken into custody.
Orr Friday, an inquest was held on the body of William
Fleming, 17 years of age, employed at the Waterloo-road sta.
tion of the London and North-western Railway. The boy being
in an upper story of one of the warehouses, asked a man who
was there to lower him down by a teakle. The man did not
make him any answer, and the boy attempted to let himself
down, for he got upon the rope, and took hold of the driver,
which however he pulled so strongly that he was carried
rapidly up, and struck his head violently against a "cat-head."
Rendered insensible by the blow, he fell from a great height
to the ground, and received in his fall the injuries which caused
his death. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death.
REVENUES OF THE DUCHY OF LANCASTER.—The account
annually presented, pursuant to the Act of Parliament, shows
that in the year ended the 29th of September, 1854, the
income of the Duchy of Lancaster amounted to £2,266, and
the expenditure to £35,567, leaving a balance on account with
the receiver-general of £6,599. The rents and arrears received

THE ROYAL MERSET Yi-CHT CLUB will hold their monthly
meetings on a Monday, instead of Tuesday, as heretofore. The
members met last week numerously at the marine station,
Bilikenhead, and after dinner business matters commenced,
the rear-commodore in the chair. Francis Cavendish Ward,
Esq., Duke of Lancaster's Own Rifles, of Prescot, was elected
a member, on the proposition of Commodore Littledale.
Several other -members -were proposed. The closing.cruise of
the season was fixed to be held on Saturday, the 22nd instant,
the yachts to assemble off New Brighton at ten o'clock, a.m.
The-subject of the annual club ball was also taken into con-
sideration' and was warmly received, and referred for adoption
at the next, meeting. The club will hold their last dinner for
the season at the marine station, on the Ist of October, after
which time the meetings will be held at the club-house, Duke-
street, for the winter season.
LIVERPOOL FLORAL AND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—
This society's third and last exhibition for the season took
.place on Thursday, :at the Botanic Gardens, Edge-lane. The
weather was delightfully fine, and the spacious marquee was
crowded to excess with a brilliant assembly. The number of
plants exhibited was, perhaps, not so numerous as on previous
occasions ; but every department was well -represented as
respects the quality of the plants, and they were quite nume-
rous enough to admit of their being seen to advantage. The
'fruit was exceedingly fine, and formed a very striking feature
of the exhibition—the grapes, peaches, apricots, and cherries
,of Mr. Hardman Earle; the grapes of the Earl of Derby; the
apples of Mr. Charles Rylance, and pears of Mr. Houseley,
attracting particular attention. In melons, too, the show was
about one of the best which has been witnessedat the society's
exhibitions for some years past, those of Mr. Nicholson and
Mr. H. Earle being amongst the finest. The vegetables, also,
were both more numerous and finer in quality than on pre-
-vious occasions.

sir, yours very sincerely, S. Oakely. S.S. Imperatriz, 21st
August, 1855. Capt. H. T—Cox,.commanding S.S. Impera-
triz." The snuff-box bore the following inscription.:--" Pre-
sented by Lieut.-Col. Oakely, and the officers of the 56th
Beet., to Capt. H. T. Cox,commanding steamer Imperatriz,
in testimony of their high appreciation of his kindness and at-
tention during their passage to the Crimea. August, 1855."
HARVEST PROSPECTS FEAR LIVERPOOL.—The potato dis-
ease, which, a fortnight ago, seemed likely to become very ex-
tensive in this neighbourhood, has been stayed in its progress
before it has descended to the roots or tubers, though there
.are few fields in the district :between this town and Ormskirk
'which do not show signs of its presence. However, should
,the present fine weather continue, there is little doubt but the
crop will be secured in bettencondition than has been the.case
for some years. The wheat crops have suffered in some places,
in consequence of being laid by the wind and wet, and this is
particularly observable between Aintree and Maghull ; but
;here again fine weather has been productive of infinite benefit,
for; though a quantity of grain is 'nearly touching the ground,
it is. dry, and there is every probability that it will be secured
inLgood condition. The crops of wheat, oats, and barley, are,
generally speaking, light, and tendays later than usual. If
not.earted, the corn in the district 'of which we are speaking
is for the most part cut in the first 'week in September. At
the present time, full four-fifths is standing, though a great
portion is ready for the sickle. On the 'Cleve's Hills, there
are some excellent crops of grain; and one of the finest fields
of wheat we ever saw, in this or any other neighbourhood, is
on a farm occupied by Richard Alawdsley, of Orrell, near this
town. 'Greater progress would have been made with the har-
vest, but;labourers are scarce and difficult to be procured.

read the report, which, after alluding to the benefits arising
from the Sunday morning and Thursday evening devotional
meetings, the Bible Class, the Tract Distribution Society, the
lectures delivered to the association, and the services ren-
dered by Mr. Matheson, the treasurer, stated that, the want
of a paid officer having been much felt, Mr. R. F. Brown had
been appointed missionary to young men. Allusion was made
to the visit with which the association had been favoured
during the winter by Mr. 3l`Cormick, from New York, as a
deputation from a similar institution there ; and it was stated
that certain changes had been made in the constitution of the
association to bring it to a closer resemblance to the New York
institution, described by ;qr. M'Cormick. The number of
members at present exceeded 100. From the statement.of
accounts, it appeared that the receipts between December 13
and August 31 were £66 14s. 9d., and that the balance in
the hands of the treasurer was about ten guineas. The report
and accounts were adopted,and the board of management and
the officers of the association for the ensuing year were
elected. A conversation ensued on the position and prospects
of the association, and the best means of extending its utility
DOCK COMMITTEE.—Mr. Charles Turner presided at the
meeting on Thursday. A return .of traffic on the south line
of dock railway was submitted, showing that since the com-
mene,ement of the line, about 'two rears ago, the traffic had
amounted to 181,000 tons. The marine department recom-
mended that the tender of Thomas Evans, of Bangor, for the
construction of a new dwelling-house for the keeper of the
telegraph at Point Lynas, should be accepted.—A report was
read, describing an accident sustained 'by the Bell Beacon,
which had been run foul of and damaged; .and a suggestion
of lir. Lockett was agreed to, to place placards round the
docks, offering a, reward to any one who would give informa-
tion as to the perpetrators of the injury. An offer of Messrs.
Cato, Miller, and Co., to repair the iron mast, and provide a
new bell for the beacon for the sum of £72 10s. was accepted.
An offer made by Messrs. Thomas Vernon and Son, to cut
the buoy V. 3 in the centre, and to form two separate buoys,
was accepted : sum £73.—Mr. Rounthwaite called attention
to a motion which Mr. Mann had made at a previous meet-
ing relative to the dock space occupied by steamers And
sailing vessels respectively. Mr. Mann's opinion being that
the allowances made to steamers for the space occupied by
their engines, &c., is too large, and that, upon the whole,
steamers do not pay their due proportion of dock rates, com-
pared with sailing vessels.—Mr. Rounthwaite took a totally
different view, and he was desirous that an addition should
be made to Mr. Mann's motion for statistics upon the subject
of the occupation of dock space, whereby the time which
steamers occupied in discharging and loading could be ascer-
tained; for he believed it would be found that though certain
allowances were made to steamers for space, &c., which was
not occupied by freight, the revenue actually derived by the
estate from the steamers was very much larger than that
derived from sailing vessels. For instance, the Clarence
Dock (which is devoted entirely to the steam trade) dis-
charged 74,000 tons per acre per annum, while the Victoria
and Waterloo discharged but 29,000; and the Clarence
yielded £1,415 per acre, while the Prince's only yielded
£1,123; George's, £731; Canning, £538; Albert, £1,673;
Salthonse, £l2B ; King's, £264; Queen's, £416; Coburg,
£880; and Union, £230. After a brief conversation as to
whether notice of motion should be given, Mr. Rounthwaite
consented not to press his motion, but to give notice of it for
the next meeting, when Mr, NADU WOW he in attendance.

which heretofore has been difficult to be obtained, as very
few of the grocers will keep it. To use their own words, by way
Of explanation, they state,—" Were we to buy it, it woad reduce
our sales fully one third, as two pounds of the Empire Soap will
go as far as three pounds of any other soap ; we should also lose
Our profit on soda and washing powders, as neither of these
articles are required when the Empire Soap is used, in either the
hardest water or in sea water." What the grocers are displeased
at in this soap is its strongest recommendation to the notice of
the large consumers, private families, hotel keepers, laundresses,
&c. It only requires to be used with a light hand. And besides
the above advantage it saves half the usual labour, consequently
less friction and wear in the clothes, and will not injure the
colours in the most delicate prints ; and is equally valuable for
every other domestic purpose, even for toilet use, as it is a pure
soap, free from rosin and other useless ingredients, which not
only add unnecessary weight to the soap but detract from its
cleansing properties.

MUSIC AZVD THE DRAMA.
ITALIAN OPERAS AT THE THEATRE ROYAL.—Last
the first of the operas to be given at this theatre commenced
with Rossini's favourite opera " Semiramide," the character
of the impassioned Babylonish Queen being allotted to Madame
Grisi. The other characters were well cast, and as a whole
the opera was a " success." The house was tolerably filled by a
fashionable and highly interested audience, who testified
the delight they experienced by frequent and well-timed
applause. So many efforts have been made for the
purpose of gratifying the musical taste of the Liverpool
amateurs, which have resulted in only partial success,
if not absolute loss, that the favourable opening of the.
present attempt is the more welcome. Whether we re-
Bard the fame and talent of the individual artistes, or
refer to the general merits of the troupe, together with the
efficiency of the orchestra and chorus, the effort must be ad-
mitted to be a great one, and as such, we trust, will meet with
a becoming share of patronage and reward. This evening the
performance is to consist of Bellini's celebrated " Sonnambula,"
and the other operas selected for performance are of the highest
order of excellence.
THE SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY gave a public rehearsal
of Mr. Hackett's new Oratorio, " The Passage of the Red Sea,"
in Clayton Hall, on Tuesday evening. - The performance met
with a warm reception throughout, and two of the chorusses
were enthusiastically encored. The piece was produced under
the superintendence of its composer; Mr. Hackett, himself,
presiding at the organ. Mr. Saunders acted as conductor.
AT THE THEATRE ROYAL, Madame Celeste and Mr. B.
Webster have concluded their temporary engagement, having
appeared each night during the past week. The leading piece
in their round of entertainments has been the new drama,
"Janet Pride," a fearfully acted and revolting piece of melo-
dramatic art. Its situations and incidents are of the most
harrowing character, without, as far as we can perceive, having
even the intention of inculcating a healthy moral or a useful
lesson. Intense scenic excitement seems its only aim, and
that has been fully achieved by the acting of the leading
parts. The same artistes are to appear during the present
week at the Royal Amphitheatre.
AT THE ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE, the English Opera Com-
pany have been• performing throughout the past week to
tolerably good and enthusiastic audiences. The pieces have
been chiefly those performed during the preceding week.
ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—ROYAL OAR GALA. The
attractions of this interesting place of recreation and
instructive amusement continue to draw large crowds of
visitors. On Monday next there is to be a grand gala at the
Gardens, given by the committee and members of the Royal
Oak Society, who, we understand, are using every exertion in
their power to render the monster gala unusually attractive.
They seem resolved to make it the greatest festival that has
been held for years, and for this end, regardless of expense,
they have engaged several artists of extraordinary talent, from
various parts of England, who will come to Liverpool expressly
for the occasion, and appear on that day only. In the mean
time, the spirited proprietor, Mr. J. Atkins, whose per-
severance and exertions to entertain and accommodate the
public have been beyond all praise, is making every necessary
preparation for the comfort and convenience of the visitors.
The fire-works are to be on an unwonted scale of magnificence
and grandeur ; several extra marquees and refreshment bowers
will be erected in the gardens, and the whole of. the refresh-
ment department under the able superintendence of Mr. W.
Holt, who, for several years, has given the most unlimited
satisfaction. Should the weather prove fine, we have not the
slightest doubt that the number of visitors will exceed those
on any former occasion, and that each will enjoy a day of real
pleasure, and return home perfectly satisfied.
ARRIVAL OP THE EAGLE PROM MELBOURNE.—The Aus-
tralian clipper ship Eagle, Captain Murphy, belonging to the
"Eagle Line" of Australian packet ships, arrived in Liver-
pool on Sunday, about 11 a.m. The Eagle has on board
about 44,000 ounces of gold, valued at about £175,000, on
freight, besides a large quantity in the hands of passengers.
The Eagle sailed from Melbourne on the 31st of May, and her
dates of intelligence have, consequently, been anticipated.
The Essex, for London, sailed on the 3d ; the Boomerang, for
Liverpool, on the 7th, and the Northumberland, for London,
on the 12th of June. The Eagle had light winds during the
early part of her voyage, and was detained eight days off
Cape Clear. On the 20th of June, when in lat. 5615 S., lon.
113 W., she saw two large icebergs, and on the 24th saw two
more ; on the 21st July, in lat. 24 S., lon. 26'40 W., she
spoke the Boomerang, from Melbourne to Liverpool, remain-
ing three days in her company. The Eagle crossed the
Equator on the Ist of August. In addition to the gold
already mentioned, and a valuable cargo, the Eagle brings the
following cabin passengers, viz.—Capt. Geo. W. Cole, M.L.C.,
lady, five children, and two servants ; Mrs. Cauty and child,
MissMcCrae, Mrs. Miller, Col. Beresford, Messrs. Henry Beres-
ford, Sam. Prenell, Henry Prince, Wm Prince, and Jas. Brown.
Besides those named, there were also 25 fore-cabin and 65
intermediate passengers. On their arrival, the passengers
presented Captain Murphy with two written testimonials,
expressive of their high sense of his urbanity and kindness ;
as well as in approval of his skilful seamanship, and general
attention to their interests and comforts. It is satisfactory to
know that no death or case of sickness occurred on board the
Eagle, either on her out or homeward voyage.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1855.
THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL.
YESTERDAY the important intelligence was received
that, after a siege of about eleven months, and for the
magnitude of the operations perhaps the most memo-
rable in history, the fortress of Sebastopol, the strong-
hold of the Russians in the Crimea, had fallen into
the hands of the Allied forces. The news has come
in an official despatch from General SIMPSON to the
Minister of War, so that there can be no mistake
about it. It appears, from the brief account received,
that, on Saturday night, after the loss of the Malak-
hoff, the Russians evacuated the whole of the south
side of the harbour, having first exploded their maga-
zines and set fire to the town. They also destroyed
all the ships excepting three steamers, and broke down
the bridge which connected the north and south sides
of the harbour.

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

Wz have received accounts of the destruction of Petro-
paulowski by the Anglo-French squadron, which we extract
from the Alta California :—" The Allied fleet, consisting of
eight war vessels and steamers, arrived off Petropaulowski
on the 15th May, but the garrison had already left the
Amoor River, in the Russian frigate Aurora, corvette Dwina,
and two merchant vessels, The escape of the garrison was a
master-stroke on the part of the Russians, who availed them-
selves of a dense fog which set in on the night of the 17th
April, and so eluded the English war-steamers Encounter,
(screw,) of 14 guns, and Barracouta, (side-wheel,) of 6 guns,
which had been blockading the harbour for fifty days previous.
The orders to evacuate were received from the Russian head-
quarters in Siberia. On anchoring in the harbour a detach-
ment was sent on shore by the commanders of the fleets,
Rear-Admiral Bruce, of the English, and Rear-Admiral
Fourichon, (a newly-appointed and exceedingly energetic man
of only forty-five years of age,) of the French. They landed and
found the town deserted, save by about a hundred Kamschatka
dogs, a French naturalized American, and two Americans,
who raised the stars and stripes over their houses when the forces landed, claiming that as the Russians had abandoned
the place and left it to them they were the possessors of the
soil. These men are engaged in trading, and are represented as
doing a good business. The dogs were in a starving condi-
tion, and followed the invaders about the town for bits of
biscuits. One of them was brought away by Commander
Rosencoat, of the Obligado. The parties were divided into
companies, proceeded to burn, blow up, and destroy the arse-
nals, storehouses, and all government buildings. Not a ves-
tige of any public work was left standing, except the hospital,
' which, with the church and the dwellings of the poorer classes
of the inhabitants, was left untouched. The inhabitants com-
menced deserting the place shortly after the garrison embarked.
Accompanied by the authorities, they started on or about the
20th April towards Tchinsk ; but the Governor's wife being
enceinte, the flight continued only to the small fishing village
of Avache, some twenty miles inland. The following day, after
the arrival of the allies, the destruction of the fortifications
commenced. These were fascines, constructed of immense
logs—the walls being sixteen feet in thickness. Such was
their strength, they resisted all efforts for some time, and were
finally razed to the ground by the agency of powder. It ap-
pears that the policy of the Russian government had changed
rather suddenly in this matter. After the battle of last
year orders came for strengthening the forts ; and though at
that time such a resistance was made as to repel the assail-
ants, there being but one tier of guns, it was ordered to in-
crease it to a double tier. The destroyers found embrasures
for fifty-one guns of heavy calibre. Why this sudden change
of policy took place may, perhaps, be explained by that on
which the Russians have always acted—of retiring into the in-
terior from their invaders, and avoiding decisive engagements.
This time, however, they have made nothing by the movement,
and, with the increased strength of the place, it would seem
that they might have made a more obstinate resistance than
before. The fleets did not leave the place until the demolition
was complete. The fleet sailed, with the exception of the
Trincomalee, on board of which were left two Russian prisoners,
whom it was proposed to exchange for a French sailor, whose
arms were amputated after being taken prisoner in the battle
of last year. The American residents there report that they
have lived in perfect peace and friendship with the inhabitants
up to the day of their departure, and that the French and En-
glish prisoners were treated with humanity. We have been
shown a despatch dated in Petropaulowski, from Rear-Admiral
Fourichon, of the French fleet, in which he states, after briefly
recapitulating the facts above enumerated, that the Russian
garrison (as Le Journel informs us) some 1,200 men, had
doubtless sailed for the mouth of the Amoor river, which drains
the southern portion of Siberia, and flows into the Gulf of Sag-
halien, an arm of the Sea of Ochetsk. They left for this point
on the 17th April, and were doubtless there before the French
and English arrived at Kamschatka. This river is regarded
as the dividing line between China and Asiatic Russia, and at
its mouth is a very strong series of fortifications, which have
been greatly strengthened from time to time by the Russians.
It is thought by some of the officers of the Obligado that
the immense armament of Petropaulowski was carried there
with the garrison ; and if this be true, there will be a
western Sebastopol, which may puzzle the allies as much
as the stronghold of the Crimea. The fleets have gone to cruise
for the present among the Aleutian Islands, and will probably
look in at Sitka. An English and French squadron have
proceeded by the China Sea to the mouth of the Amoor river,
where, the despatch says, there will soon be severe fighting.
There are about ten ships of war in these fleets, which would
be joined by the steamer Brisk, now at Petropaulowski. The
line of battle-ship, Monarch is the flag-ship of the English
fleet. We learn that the above squadrons will join at Petro-
paulowski, whence they will proceed to this port for provisions;
they may be expected in about three weeks. The officers of
the Obligado think they will separate, the English making a
rendezvous at Vancouver's Island, and the French here ;
both fleets, however, will come directly to this port. Their
arrival will increase business to a considerable extent. The
English frigates Pique and Amphitrite have sailed for the
Sea of Ochotsk, to join the rest of the fleet; also the two
steamers which were formerly employed in blockading Petro-
paulowski. The French steamer Prowy will be here in a few
days. The fleets will sail to the Amoor river after provision-
ing and fitting out at this port. Rear-Admiral Bruce, while
at Petropaulowski, caused a handsome fence to be erected
around the cemetery in which were buried the bodies of the
killed of the Russians and Allies, in the battle of last year.
A large tablet, bearing a Russian inscription in commemora-
tion of the fight, was erected, which, as it refers to all alike,
will doubtless be respected when the Russian inhabitants
return. The country, when the fleets approached, presented
a grand and sublime picture. The lofty mountains, from their
peaks down to the very shore, were clad in a mantle of snow.;
the cold was not severe. All was gloomy, silent, and desolate.
It snowed almost incessantly for three weeks while the Obli-
gado was there. The brig left Valparaiso for the Sandwich
Islands ; proceeded thence to Kamtschatka, and thence here.
She has seen some very severe weather at the North."
The Alta California, of a later date, adds the following
particulars—" We learn from the Russian consul, M. Kos-
troinithoff, that the intelligence published in the morning
papers of yesterday is untrue as regards the evacuation of
Sitka by the Russian residents. It will be remembered that
there is now a convention existing between the Hudson Bay
Company and the Russian American Company, which was
celebrated at St. Petersburg and London, by the provisions of
which this portion of the Russian possessions is exempted
from hostilities. Consequently, there could be no danger of
the Allied fleets committing any depredations ; nor is the
Governor of Sitka, or his officials, so ignorant of the chivalry
of the French and English marine as to suppose that they
would override the stipulations of the British government,
and attack a defenceless place. True, the French have not
entered into this treaty, but the very inhumanity of the
destruction of a trading post, occupied by harmless in-
habitants, and almost defenceless in guns and men, would be
enough to ensure its safety. The movements of the allied
fleets in the Pacific, up to this time, have been characterised
by a commendable regard to the behests of humanity. On the
arrival of the fleet, the Brisk was sent in to communicate with
the shore. The Governor sent off his secretary to state that
he hoped the provisions of the convention would be observed,
as the place was without the means of defence, and unprepared
to make any resistance. The commander of the Brisk replied
that they had only entered the place to ascertain if the Dwina or
Aurora were there; in which case the French fleet would
have cut them out ; but no harm was intended to the town.
The reports regarding fls ,knsalLlvit of Li 11.001:
American Con-imerciil Company we learn from Mr. Beverley
C. Sanders to be also unfounded. Provisions were plenty.
Mr. Berlin, one of the directors of the company, went on
board the Alceste, on her arrival, and obtained facts which
are at variance with those published on the following morn-
ing." The climate at present of Sitka Island is mild and
agreeable, though occasional fogs appear, like those seen off
our own coast. The mountains rising from the immediate
vicinity of the coast are clothed with dense forests of pine
and cedar. Farther back, they ascend into the regions of
perpetual snow, and in clear weather present the grandest
scene imaginable. The town contains a population of about
1,000, a mixture of whites and Indians. This country was
taken possession of by the celebrated Russian buccaneer
Schelehoff, in 1778. The harbour is excellent, and will
easily accommodate hundreds of ships. We learn that the
operations of the Ice Company have produced a marked
effect upon the business of the place. The inhabitants
were peacefully pursuing their daily avocations when the
fleet left. No panic had existed, nor had. any of them
fled into the interior. It was reported that Sitka was in
virtual possession of the American Ice Company, who reported
that the Russian inhabitants, after learning the intended visit
of the allied fleet to the place, notwithstanding the treaty of
protection, abandoned the place and fled into the interior.
We learn that the Ice Company was in a starving condition,
having been in daily expectation of a vessel from San Fran-
cisco loaded with provisions. This was nine days ago, and the
vessel had not arrived when the fleet left. Nothing had been
heard at Sitka of the ship Zenobia. From the above facts
we presume no ice will be received in town for several days to
come, and a similar state of affairs with that of July, 1852,
be experienced.
The San Francisco Transcript furnishes som4 further
particulars. " The fleet arrived at Sitka in twenty-thee days
from Petropaulowski, and sailed on the 13th instant, for this
port. The number of soldiers in the place never exceeded 100
men, who were kept there merely as a protection against
the Indians, and the fortifications, it was well undestood, were
intended for no other purpose."
H.B.M. frigate Pique, Captain Nicholson, had sailed for the
river Amoor, the Russian possessions in Asia, and thence for
China. The British frigate Dido and steamer Brisk were to
touch at Vancouver's Island, thence to San Francisco.
THE BALTIC FLEET.
(FROM THE PRESS.)
Ix the Baltic the fleet are beginning to shift their cruising-
ground. The bad wheather has commenced, the blockading
squadron before Cronstadt has already experienced a heavy
gale of wind, and has shifted its berth. The vacillation of the
Government, and the imbecile management of Sir Charles
Wood and his Board, seem to have metamorphosed all our
fighting Admirals into the meekest and most timid of men.
" Impossible," a word unknown in the vocabulary of the last
war, appears to be imprinted on the mind of every Admiral in
this. The Government have spent milions on this Baltic
fleet ; they had all the vast resources of the country at their
disposal, and all the experience of '54 to guide them, and yet,
in a whole summer, they can only achieve a single bombard-
ment of an arsenal and capture a few paltry vessels !
Sir Charles Wood and his Board seem bent upon blunders.
No sooner do they discover, in the last week of the season for
active operations in the Baltic, that the contemptible supply
of mortars which they originally sent out to demolish all the
Russian fortresses have been used up in a partial bombardment
of the first, than they immediately order a ship round to
Woolwich, load her with mortars, and despatch her to the
stction. Very admirable energy, under ordinary circumstances,
but, in the face of their Admiral's declaration that the season
was too far advanced for any further operations, and that the
mortar-boats were en route for England, very questionable
management. Arrived at Kiel, this ship, the Sanspareil, lay
there for some days with the mortars in her hold, when,
as might have been expected, came an order from Admiral
Dundas for her to return home at once, as the mortar-
boats had left the station, and the weather was too bois-
terous for further operations. So, home comes the Sans-
pareil, no market for their mortars being found in the
Baltic. This playing at cross purposes between Admiralty
and Admiral betrays a want of unanimity of action and con-
formity of plan disgraceful to the administrative ability of
"My Lords." The official " cat," in this case, clearly resides at
Whitehall. Admiral Dundas, some weeks before, had stated that
the season was over for operations ; but the Admiralty hoped,
by this display of unwonted energy, to cover their primary
discreditable mismanagement in not having supplied the fleet
with an ample reserve of mortars in the first instance. This
very "weak invention" is seen through at a glance. We
never ha 4 a very high opinion of the administrative talents of
the present Board of Admiralty; but their management of
the home resources for the supply of the Baltic fleet this year
inflicts more disgrace upon them than any of the previous
many maladministrations they have been guilty of in their
official career.
MR. CHARLES DICKENS is expected to give a reading for
the benefit of the Mechanics' Institution at Sheffield, during
the month of December.
A BALLOON, sent up at Sheffield a few days ago, travelled
as far as Chard, in Somersetshire, a distance of about 200
miles, and occupied only about two hours and three quarters
in the voyage.
THE Briilol Gazette states that a skeleton, supposed to be
that of woman, has been discovered by some workmen, about
a foot below the surface of the ground, at Banwell. Some
suppose the person 4o have been murdered, but there is at
present no evidence to warrant the conclusion.
THE Paris Patrie says that the Czar is endeavouring to
re-establish his former friendly relations with the Helvetic
confederation, which have been estranged since 1848, when
the Emperor Nicholas refused to recognise the new federal i
constitution.
AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA.
BY the British and North American Royal Mail Steam-ship
America, Captain Lang, which arrived on Sunday, we have
intelligence from Boston to the 29th ult. The America
brought 131 passengers and $847,408 in specie.
A terrible accident occurred on the 27th, on the New York
and Philadelphia Railroad. Twenty-three persons were killed
and seventy wounded. Among the killed was Baron de St.
Andre, French consul at Philadelphia.
The late Mr. Abbott Lawrence had bequeathed $130,000 to
various societies.
Mr. James C. Thompson, proprietor of the extensive ma-
chine works on Quay-street, Albany, had received an offer to
assume the chief-engineership of the Russian Navy, and was
at Washington making the necessary arrangements with the
Russian Minister. The offer was made for three years at a
salary of $6,000 per annum with house rent free, and had
been made in consequence of the resignation of Mr. Cham-
bers, a Scotchman, who had held that position for the past
'eighteen years. Mr. Thompson was, for five years, first
engineer on the steamer Pacific, of the Collins line.
Advices from the Great Salt Lake City report that the
grasshoppers had destroyed the third crop of grain, and star-
vation or an abandonment of the settlements were the alter-
natives presented to the Mormons.'
At Olympia (Washington territory) great excitement pre-
vailed relative to the discovery of rich gold fields at Fort Col-
ville, in about 48 degrees latitude, or nearly 250 miles from
Pugest Sound.
At Norfolk, on the 27th, there were thirty-five deaths
from fever during the forty-eight hours previously to noon
of that day. At New Orleans the deaths in the city during
the week previously to the 27th were 471, including 357
deaths from yellow fever, being a decided decline. The
New York Evening Express of the 28th says, ." The yellow
fever continues to desolate—we had almost said decimate
—the stricken cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth. Awful as
were the incidents attending the New Orleans epidemic,
the summer before last, the melancholy particulars we
publish elsewhere,—the latest to hand,—throw these sombre
reminiscences into the shade. And the worst of it all is,
there is no abatement, no prospect even of abatement, as yet.
This is terrible. Be it the part of those who are afar off and
in safety to continue their contributions in aid of the sick and
the suffering poor." Up to the 23rd the yellow fever was not
prevalent in Mobile. A Baltimore physician writes from Nor-
folk, on the 25th, as follows :—" I arrived here yesterday
safely, and went immediately to work. The statements in
the papers in regard to the epidemic are not exaggerated ; on
the contrary, they do not convey a true idea of the actual
condition of things. You cannot imagine a more sad and me-
lancholy spectacle than Norfolk presents at this moment. The
houses and places of business are all closed—two-thirds of the
inhabitants fleeing or fled—the streets and market-places
deserted—and gloom, and fear, and consternation every where.
Accompanied by Doctor Thompson, I last night, after ten o'clock,
called to see a couple of patients, and I assure you that though
we passed through the principal streets we did not meet or
see a single soul during our journey. Our footsteps sounded
and resounded ominously upon the pavements. Not a single
light could be seen in the houses by which we passed ; it
only needed a glimpse in the moonlight of a jackall or vulture
to realise the picture of an eastern plague-stricken city. The
disease is not abating in the least. From all that I can learn
I am convinced that there are at least 600 down with it.
This, in a population now reduced to 8,000, is fearful. In the
hotel where we are stopping there are ten patients—one death
took place last night. The heat is intense, and the atmos-
phere at night heavily charged with malaria. I have suffered
all the morning with a very severe headache, and Thompson
says my eyes are affected; but I have no fears. The head-
ache I attribute to the oppressive state of the atmosphere.
The disease is of a more peculiar character, and strange to say
nearly all the cases present the same symptoms In the onset
you have all the indication of our common bilious fever—but
the treatment must, it appears, be totally different. All my
cases are, so far, progressing favourably—but the disease is so
insidious in its workings, that though everything may look
favourable, you cannot prognosticate a happy resnit."
The New. Orleans Bulletin, of the 21st, says :—" The most
interesting intelligence that we can communicate to our absent
friends is, the sanitary condition of our city. We grieve to
say that the weather is, and has been for some days past, as
unpropitious for any mitigation of the epidemic as it well can
be. Northern winds have prevailed for the most part during
the past week; the nights and mornings are unseasonably
cool, such as we generally experience in October, while (with
the exception of yesterday, which was somewhat moderate)
the heat at mid-day is excessively oppressive. The conse-
quence has been, as was to be expected, an increase in the
number of deaths from yellow fever for the past week. The
number of deaths from yellow fever for the week foot up 394,
against 291 for the week previously. The ,total number of
deaths from all diseases for the week ending on the 19th, was
517, against 413 for the week ending on the 12th instant. It
is a mistaken impression which prevails among some of our
people, that the present epidemic is less violent, and attended
with less mortality than any that has preceded it. Excepting
the fatal year of 1853, the reverse is the fact. The deaths
from yellow fever for the week ending on the 20th of August,
1847, were 296 ; total deaths from all diseases, 415. For the
week ending 20th August, 1854, the deaths from yellow fever
were 118. The greatest number of yellow fever interments in
any one week in 1854, was for the week ending September
24th, when they amounted to 341—fifty-three less than for
the week just passed. The week in 1853 corresponding with
the present one was the most fatal one ever known in New
Orleans ; the deaths from yellow fever in that week reached
the terrible figure of 1,442 ; the total deaths were 1,571. This
day two years ago was the blackest day in death's calendar—
the number of deaths on that day, including those for which
there were no certificates, was 318 1"
Csumoßms,—The Geonre Law has arrived at New York
rrom Aspinwall, witu ,1,265,ti1t5 in specie, and acivices irom
California to the Ist of August. The Golden Age sailed from
San Francisco on the Ist ult., with $1,600,000 on freight, of
which $312,284 was on English account. A line of telegraph
had been erected between Aspinwall and Panama, and was in
successful operation. The health of the isthmus was good.
There had been but little rain, and the railroad was in excellent
condition. H.M.S. Monarch, 84, and President, 62, and the
French vessels La. Forte, Eurydice, Alceste, and Obliged° were
in the harbour of San, Francisco. A fire broke out in the town
on the 18th, which destroyed about $30,000 worth of property.
Agreeable to notice through the daily newspapers, a meeting
of the preliminary committee of the Immigration Society, and
those favouring the objects of the society, had been held in
San Francisco. The attendance was quite large, and included
many of the most prominent and influential citizens, all of
whom seemed to be desirous of lending the movement their
cordial support. The objects of the meeting were :-1. To
disseminate continually and systematically information of the
soil, climate, agricultural products, yields of crops, &c., of Cali.
fornia. 2. By business negotiations to reduce the price of
passage to California, and to multiply the means of transport.
3. To produce employment for immigrants immediately on
their arrival, at some rate, however low, so that they may not
go idling about and get disgusted while they are yet on the
threshold. The mining news continued cheering, and prospects
were never better for the working man. The largest portion
of the Allied fleets, including the Monarch, Captain G. Patey;
the President, Commander Barridge ; Eurydice, Obligado,
La Forte, and Alceste, had returned to San Francisco, after
visiting Petropaulowski, and finding the place entirely deser-
ted by the Russians. The officers of the French and English
vessels were to receive a number of complimentary balls from
the citizens of San Francisco during their stay in the harbour,
and in return they were to give like entertainments on board
their vessels. A number of sick seamen were landed from the
French frigate La Forte. Most of them were affected with
symptoms of scurvy. They were taken to the French hospital.
The crops in some portions of the State were represented as
being rather inferior, while in other parts they would probably
come fully up to previous expectation. The general product
of the mines was equal to any previous period. Business,
although not as brisk as in former years, was quietly and
steadily recovering from the financial shock which it ex-
perienced a few months back. A great fire had taken place at
Stocklin. At Los Angeles an earthquake had done consider.
able damage.

faithful to their fallen chief, and the mutineers, vanquished,
fled in confusion. With regard to the reconstruction of the
Government, our intelligence is very brief. It appears, how-
ever, that the plan of Alvarez has been adopted, and that
General Carro is Provisional President, and General La Vega
commander-in-chief of the army. Santa Anna left the capital
on the pretence of quelling the insurrection in Vera Cruz.
The office of the Universel, and forty other buildings, had
been demolished by the populace during the excitement conse-
quent upon Santa Anna's departure. The military interfered,
killing forty persons, and wounding a large number. The
statue of Santa Anna had been torn down and trampled upon
by the people. Delegates met in the city of Mexico on the
10th inst., who chose Gen. Carro President for six months, and
also ordained the liberty of the press.
Later advices from the Rio Grande state that the revolu-
tionists were awaiting to hear of the downfal of Santa Anna,
and were consequently inactive.
CllBA.—Advices to the 23rd, state that H.M.S. Daring was
at Vera Cruz, for the purpose of embarking Santa Anna on
his arrival, and that a Spanish steamer had likewise been
placed at his service. Sickness was on the increase, but it was
principally confined to the soldiers. Sugar buyers were active,
admitting advanced rates. Molasses were scarce, and at high
prices. Freights for sugar 4s. per box; $1 hhd. molasses
Exchange on London firm. The British brig-of-war, Arab,
arrived off the harbour on the 16th, and reported having ex-
perienced very heavy weather at sea. Some anxiety was
experienced for the safety of the British mail steamer Wye,
which was nine days overdue from Vera Cruz.
The Chicago Tribune, of the 24th, says :—" Revelations
have been made to us, by one who is entitled to know the
designs of the Kinney expedition, which leave no room for
doubt that a descent upon Cuba is the ultimate object of the
party now in Greytown, and their friends and backers in the
States. To this end they are now building vessels, purchasing
stores, and enlisting recruits all along our Atlantic coast,
though the latter are gathered principally in Louisiana and
other slave states. Their efforts are seconded by the Cuban
Juntas in New York and New Orleans, which furnish the
principal part of the funds needed for the enterprise."
The Daniel Webster had arrived at New York from Punta
Arenas with $712,000 in specie. A terrific hurricane swept
over the Mosquito coast on the night of the 14th instant, by
which the British sloop-of-war Wolverine became a total loss.
The cholera had abated in Nicaragua, but not until it had
swept away nearly all the Government forces, and the re-
mainder of the troops had been centred at Grenada. The
epidemic had also visited Leon, and the revolutionary army
suffered much from its attacks. The Costa Ricans kept up a
strict quarantine both by land and water. The best interests
of Nicaragua are represented as in a very perilous position.
The Accessory Transit Company had a party of armed men
at Castillo in order to watch Colonel Kinney's movements.
It was reported that Generals Gardiola and Lopez, with two
hundred men from Guatemala, had attacked Honduras, and
routed General Cabanas. It was also said that Colonel Kin-
ney had made an attack on Rivas. The revolutionists from
Leon had attacked Managua, but were repulsed. Greytown
(rebuilt) was looking • well, and all the sufferers by the late
bombardment, from the British Vice-Consul downwards, were
preparing to submit their claim for damages to Congress.
Colonel Walker had marched into Costa Rica, and, after
some negotiations, gave up his arms to the authorities, who
guaranteed him protection from the Nicaraguans. However,
in a short time after the latter seized 20 of his men, when the
Costa Ricans raised 1,500 soldiers, and sent a demand for
their delivery. _ _ _
There is nothing of interest from the Sandwich Islands.
The King has dissolved the legislature. The appropriation
bill voted by the house exceeded the revenue about $200,000,
and the King refused to sanction direct taxation to make up
the deficit. He has ordered a new election, and parliament
was called to meet at Honolulu on the 30th of July.
From Jamaica we have advices to the 14th August. A
serious riot had occurred in Kingston, between the negro
soldiers stationed in the barracks, and the people and police.
The soldiers had assaulted the citizens wantonly. Trade was
inactive.
The State of Panama had imposed a duty of 50 cents. per
ton on sailing vessels, and 25 cents. on steamers ; also a duty
of one dollar on each passaiger.
From Hayti we learn that money, coffee, and logwood were
scarce.
Dates to the 11th of June had been received from the
Society Islands. King Tammatoa, who was ousted by a revolt
under Tamarri, had been restored to the government of the
kingdom of Raeatea and Tahaa, by a counter movement on
the part of his subjects.
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, 28th Aug.
MONEY still continued abundant, and confidence in every
department of commerce and finance was steadily gaining
ground. Exchange was firm at the following quotations :
London, 1091, 110, to 1101 ; Paris, 5.12 f to 5.114 ; Amster-
dam, 411 to 41* ; Bremen, 791 to 79i ; Hamburg, 36* to 364 ;
Antwerp, 5.15 to 5.12*.
COTTON.—The business in the cotton market, says Mr. W.
P. Wright in his circular, dated New York, Aug. 28, has con-
tinued to be very limited, the daily sales not exceeding a few
hundred bales taken by domestic consumers. Holders show
considerable firmness, and the quotations submitted are those
at which no large transactions could be entered upon without
causing an immediate advance, while in some instances small
lots had been sold at ec. to less. Freight to Liverpool
dull at 5-32ds.
A great change has taken place in the accounts received
this week from every section of the cotton growing region as
far west as Mobile. Rain, so much to be dreaded at this
period, has been falling freely, accompanied by an unusual
degree of cold, and though no damage has been done but what
could be made up by very seasonable weather, the prospects
for a good crop are much jeopardised. The accounts from
Alabama are more serious than elsewhere, and at the latest
dates, by telegraph from Mobile, rain was still prevalent. We
have yet to hear of the country tributary to New Orleans.

BEEADSTUFFS.—The market for flour had been very quiet,
the demand being chiefly confined to the trade, and prices had
declined in common qualities 121 c. per barrel. Exporters had
taken a few thousand barrels for England. In wheat southern
descriptions had declined 6c. to 10c. per bushel. Indian corn
had advanced bc. per bushel up to the close of last week, but
half of this advance had since been lost.
PROVISIONS.-The quantity ofeVeri description of provi-
sions continued to be extremely light, and as the season ad-
vanced the demand seemed to increase, and cause prices to
improve. Much activity and excitement prevailed in the pork
market, and rates of prime and mess had considerably ad-
vanced. Beef firm, with sales of about 200 bbls., closing at
Saturday's quotations all round. Prime mess was in moderate
demand, at $22 to $25. Butter and cheese were without
change of moment in quotations.
CoAL.-The receipts of foreign continued small, and the
market was firm. Hard was steady at previous rates.
InoN.-The market was very firm, with sales of 300 to 400
tons. Scotch pig at $32 cash, and $33 to $34 six months,
and holders now demand $32 50c. cash, and $35 six months,
the stock being much reduced, and the ships hither light.
There is considerable inquiry for railroad iron, and some 2,200
tons Welsh have- been sold at $62 50c. cash, mostly for future
delivery. American pig was held firmly, and prices tended
upward. 100 tons American wrought scrap brought $36 cash ;
and English sheet was firm, and some numbers scarce.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
----f--
CARADA.—There has been much excitement lately among
he Huron Indians. and a good deal of ill-feeling manifested
by some of them against the government. This unhappy
state of affairs was occasioned by a misapprehension of some
late acts of the Government, but more especially by the in-
triguing of a Methodist preacher, who took an active part in
fomenting disaffection and discord among them for his own
advantage. As the affair began to assume a serious aspect,
the Indians having forbidden surveyors to approach their
territory, it was determined by his Excellency the Governor-'
General that a grand council should be held, in order to try
and arrange matters. A council was held, therefore, at Table
timer, on the 19th ult., itc which Viscount D.y aria suite
were present on the part of the government, and about 150
Indians, delegates from various tribes. The discussions were
very animated, but the difficulties were settled in a manner
satisfactory to all parties, except the preacher and a few of his
satellites. Everything in the political way is especially dull.
Now and then violent spasmodic efforts are made to get up an
excitement about the Maine Anti-liquor Law, or some kindred
humbug, but without success.
WEST INDIES.—The Atrato arrived at Southampton on
Thursday with the West India and Pacific mails. Her dates
are Jamaica, August 11 ; Demerara, 16th ; Trinidad, 12th ;
Barbadoes, 15th ; and St. Thomas, 22nd. She brings about
$500,000 in specie. The weather in:Jamaica was intensely
hot, the island tranquil, and fever very prevalent. The market
was dull, and bare of provisions. Exchange on London, 90
days, one per cent. premium. The yellow fever prevailed
among the troops at Barbadoes. At St. Thomas the yellow
fever was declining. Small-pox had appeared in many places.
The Eagle, with the mails from the windward route, broke
down. The mails from Demerara, Trinidad, and Barbadoes,
were sent to St. Thomas in hired vessels. Exchange on
London, 90 days, 541 to '4l.
CAPE OP Goon HOPE.—Dates to the end of June have
been received from the Cape. Business was not very brisk,
but no mercantile difficulties were apprehended. The Kaffir
taxes had been paid with the greatest alacrity by the natives,
and realised much in excess of last year. From Port Eliza-
beth we learn that, during the last quarter, up to the 9th of
June, the exports of wool had amounted to 1,626,252 lbs.,
valued at £93,000. About 2,000 bales were lying at Graafk,
Reinet awaiting carriage, and some of the upper districts
were in an equally bad plight, with no prospect of relief for
the next few months. Wool was firm at 50. The Orange
Free State Herald states that upwards of 300 farms, to the
value of about £60,000, have changed hands in little more
than twelve months. The Natal coffee is much improved,
and now ranks in the good marks of Ceylon. There was no
change of consequence in the import trade of Cape Town.
The price of Liverpool coal has advanced to £2 10s. per ton,
and Liverpool salt to £3 10s. per ton, being an advance of ss.
per ton on each article.

Since our last summary there has not been a great amount
of transactions in our import market, but the arrivals
of cargoes have been few, and a further buoyancy has
been imparted to many articles. Notwithstanding
much undoubted tightness in money matters, a tone
of increasing confidence is springing up, and the
spring is looked for as the season in which our market
will once more 11e more nearly under the legitimate sway
of supply and demand than has been the case for the past two
years. A great social difficulty had arisen at Adelaide, in
consequence of the accumulation at the immigration depot of
Irish females sent out to the colony under the regulations of
the Land and Emigration Commissioners. The girls, although
healthy and strong, are generally totally unfit for domestic
service, and cannot find situations in private families. The
government, assisted by the Catholic clergymen, intend to for-
ward them to depots in various parts of the country districts,
where it is hoped the wants of the settlers will lead to employ-
ment in farm or rough household work. We doubt not that
proper representations have been made to the commissioners
to prevent a continuance of this kind of emigration. The wea-
ther during the autumn has been in the highest degree favour-
able to agriculture. Most of the farmers have got their seed
in, and the crops look in the highest degree promising. The
breadth of land under cultivation is larger than was ever
known in the colony before, and there is at present every
prospect of a most abundant harvest. As we have so often
referred to the deficiency of rain during the past season, we
may now state that the total quantity of rain during the year
1854, as indicated by the government rain-gauge, amounted to
only 12-91 inches
lsErilrAn .—A letter from Berlin, in the Augsburg Gazette,
states that the Danish government has declared itself willing to
reduce the Sound-dues for all countries. It is said that Aus-
tria has strongly recommended Denmark to make the conces-
sion, and that this latter power will shortly make its inten-
tions known to all the states interested in the question.
PRIISSIA.—Private letters from Berlin would seem corro-
borative of what has been already said of the state of the
King of Prussia's health : his condition inspires considerable
uneasiness. The Russian party at court are in dismay, as the
death of the king would be fatal to their influence. The
Prince of Prussia, it appears, keeps apart, and does not inter-
fere, at least ostensibly, in political affairs.
ABYSSINIA.—Dr. Graph, the South African missionary, has
just returned from a mission to Abyssinia from Bishop Gobat,
of Jerusalem. He had several interviews with the King, who
seems bent upon improving his country, and his authority is
now so firmly established that he can carry his wishes into
execution. The King of Abyssinia has prohibited slavery,
renounced polygamy, banished the Jesuits, and is anxious that
some European mechanics, particularly masons, printers, and
gunmakers, should settle in his country. Mr. Plowden, our
consul in Abyssinia, has taken to European clothing again, and
has great influence with the King, to whom he gives good
advice. An Englishman of the name of Bell is one of the
first of the King's warriors, and, in battle, -enjoys with three
others the great honour of wearing the same apparel as the
King, in order that the latter may not be distinguished by
his enemies. Another Englishman, named Coffin, who has

from that which they now occupied. From the imperfect in-
formation he possessed, and from the reason he had before
urged, he should prefer, if possible, to have his resolution for
the appointment of a committee taken sub silentio. No
doubt the committee would give to the subject all the atten-
tion which the importance of it deserved, and that they would
come before the board with the matter so digested as would
enable them to come to a conclusion which would be satis-
factory to all parties. He would, therefore, propose that the
resolution be passed as it stood upon the paper. The resolu-
tion was seconded by Mr. Colborne, and the word "terms"
being substituted for " expediency," was unanimously adopted.
r ON Saturday afternoon, whilst the train which arrives at
Aberdeen at' 5.55 was near Newton-hill station, the train
was fired at by a person from an adjoining field. One of the
carriages bears marks of shot, and the guard was a good deal
injured about the legs.
A PEW days ago a spark from the engine propelling a cheap
trip from Sheffield fell in a field of standing barley on the side
of the line, and set it on fire. The blaze was observed by
some children, who immediately raised an alarm, and some
men proceeded with scythes, &c., cut it down, and stayed the
progress of the fire before any serious amount of damage was
done.
RAILWAY RACING.—A correspondent in Philadelphia says,
" I enjoyed the pleasure of a locomotive race on one of the
western railways last week. Two roads ran closely parallel to
each other for about five miles, and two express trains acci-
dentally emerged at that point at the same time, when each
driver opened out his animal at the greatest possible speed.
Notwithstanding the weather was so intensely cold, all of the
car windows were thrown open, and the greatest enthusiasm
was manifested by the passengers on both trains. Ladies
waved their handkerchiefs in the wildest delight, and the men
shouted with an energy that would have made an Indian blush.
The race proved a "dead heat," and I sighed to think that it
had not been made for the best three in five.' "
SUICIDE OF A PAWNBROKER.—On Saturday morning a
most singular and determined act of suicide was committed
by Mr. Hall, pawnbroker, near the Middlesex Hospital. It
appears that, shortly after the shop opened, one of the young
men having occasion to bring into requisition that portion of
a pawnbroker's premises known as the spout," was asto-
nished to find that some pledges which had been thrown
down for a customer, who was waiting to take them out, did
not reach their destination at the bottom, and on investiga-
tion it was discovered that the cause of the stoppage was the
dead body of the employer, who was found suspended in the
centre by the neck, from the cord employed in pulling up
parcels from the shop to the warehouse. Mr. Hall was of a
sedate and scientific turn of mind, but no cause is assigned
for his committal of suicide.
SHIPBUILDING AT NEW YORK.—The total amount of
tonnage on the stocks, including vessels just commencing, is
something over 20,000 tons, comprising 18 vessels of all de-
scriptions, and including two steamships, four ships, five
steamers, four brigs and barques, and three schooners. The
two steamships are'the Adriatic for the Collins line, and the
Cornelius Vanderbilt for the Vanderbilt line of Havre—both
of enormous size. At the Westervilt yard, there was building
for the New York and Liverpool trade (Mr. Wm. Tyson) a
ship of 1,600 tons. At Webb's yard, a ship of 1,400 tons for
Williams and Guyon was building under the superintendence
of Captain Edwards. Mr. Steers is proceeding rapidly in the
construction of the huge steamship the Adriatic, building by
him for the Collins New York and Liverpool line, and ex-
pects to have her ready for launching by the Ist or middle of
March next. She is building under the superintendenee of
Captain Luce. She will have oscillating engines of immense
power, which are constructing in the Novelty Iron Works. At
Green Point, Mr. Simonson is pushing forward to completion
his great steamship called the Cornelius Vanderbilt, 3,600
tons burthen, for the Havre line. She will have two beam
engines, which are building at the Allaire works. This vessel
will be built with prodigious strength, and be finished in a
style of elegance unsurpassed.
SulclDE.—Mr. Matthew Wood, aged 42, has committed
suicide by taking five or six ounces of cyanide of
potassium, used by him for photographic purposes. The
deceased, who had held a lucrative post in the mail de-
partment of the general post-office; had applied to be elected to
the head of that department, which had become vacant some
months ago. The result of the application was, that he was
placed on probation for six months. During this period he
became very desponding, as he found out that he was not
fitted to fill the onerous duties of the situation. As the time
passed on he gradually became more and more depressed, and
several times exclaimed, "It must be either success or prussic
acid." There was nothing beyond depression of spirits, how-
ever, that could induce his friends to suppose he would actually
commit suicide. At the expiration of the probationary six
months, upon going to his office, he discovered that he was not
confirmed in the appointment, not being considered sufficiently
competent. He returned home to his house in St. John's-
wood, apparently broken-hearted, and retired to his bed-room
about half-past five. His non-appearance before eight o'clock

dead, life having been extinct some time. A small piece of
paper was found near the body, on which was described the
property of the deceased, and the money due to him by the
Post-office. Verdict, insanity.
THE MILITIA.—Two fresh returns have been published re-
lating to the Militia, on the motion of Colonels Buck and
Duncombe. The one shows that on the 30th of June, 1855,
the strength of the English militia was 1,764 officers, 2,123
sergeants, 780 drummers, and 29,885 rank and file presents
and 272 officers, 122 sergeants, 21 drummers, and 6,048 rank
and file absent. The strength of the regiments on foreign
service, on the 30th June, was 198 officers, 286 sergeants, 95
drummers, and 4,608 rank and file. This makes a total effec-
tive force of 2 234 officers 2.531 sergeants. 896 drummer.: and
lam me. toe second return snows that the totai
number of rank and file embodied in England on the 14th of
March, 1855, amounted to 41,198; the total number embodied
on the 14th of April, 1855, to 30,945 ; the quota of volunteers
to the regular army to 13,021, and the portion of the quota
given by all regiments to the regular army to 11,268. In
Scotland the number of rank and file embodied on the 14th of
April, 1855, was 5,119; the quota of volunteers 1,693, and the
portion of the quota given by all regiments to the regular
army 886. In Ireland 15,119 rank and file were embodied on
the 14th of April ; the quota of volunteers to the army was
4,736, and the portion furnished to the line by all the regi-
ments, 2,353. Thus the grand total number of rank and file
embodied on the 14th of April, 1855, would be 61,183 ; the
quota of volunteers to the line 19,450, and the quota furnished
by all the regiments 14,507.
ATTEMPTED MURDER NEAR BRISTOL.—At daybreak On
Thursday, the policeman on duty at the Bedminster turnpike
gate, near Bristol, heard violent cries of murder proceeding
from the Victoria beerhouse, situate a few yards from the gate
on the high road from Bristol to the west of England. On
going to the spot he found the landlord of the house, a man
about 60 years of age, named John Robbins, standing at the
door with his throat cut. Blood was copiously flowing from
the wound, but the injured man had placed a handkerchief in
the wound, which to some extent prevented luemorrhage. It
appeared that Mrs. Robbins, being in a state of intoxication
on Wednesday night, her husband refused to sleep with her,
and retired to rest in another room. During the night Mr.
Robbins heard his wife (who is also nearly 60 years of age)
threatening his life, but as this was of no unfrequent occur-

rence when she was in liquor, he did not feel alarmed. Early
on Thursday morning, however, Mrs. Robbins entered his bed-
room, and cut her husband's throat with a razor, but fortu-
nately the principal vessels are not separated, and hopes are en-
tertained of his ultimate recovery. It was deemed advisable,
however, to take the evidence of the injured man and several
other witnesses, after which the wife was fully committed to
take her trial at the nex Somerset assizes. During the exami-
nation, the woman behaved in a most violent manner, and fre-
quently expressed her regret that the attempt at murder had
proved ineffectual.
TILE PALACE OF WESTMINSTER.—The sum already ex-
pended upon the new Houses of Parliament has been
£1,663,944 ; and Sir C. Barry having been asked to state what
additional works he proposes beyond those already sanctioned,
has sent in plans and designs of real magnificence, which, if
adopted, will make the total cost £2,595,511, exclusive of the
cost of constructing the law courts elsewhere, as Sir Charles
proposes to pull down the present unsightly edifice and to
transfer the courts to Lincoln's-inn. Sir Charles proposes to
pull • down the south side of Bridge-street, and to run a new
line of palatial buildings along the north and west sides of
New Palace-yard, which would thus be converted into a quad-
rangle, and form part of the new as it is of the old palace. At
the angle of this new quadrangle nearest to Charing-cross, Sir
Charles proposes to construct an entrance gateway and tower.
The line of building will be continued westward upon the side
where the law-courts now stand, until it joins the portion of
the new Palace now completed, called St. Stephen's-Porch,
opposite to Henry VlL's Chapel. We shall thus have a mag-
ificent facade, extending from Bridge-street to the lofty and
noble Victoria-tower. St. Margaret's Church, near West-
minster Abbey, has been long denounced as an eye-sore ; and
Sir Charles proposes to pull it down and rebuild it near Tothill-
,04'f/
1)
street. Lastly, he wants additional space opposite the Victoria-
tower, to enable the spectator to follow it to its altitude with-
out incurring the danger of dislocating his neck ; and, for
this purpose, he proposes to pull down the houses opposite the
Victoria-tower, and to make a small oblong enclosure in Old
Palace-yard, containing shrubs, trees, and a statue of Queen
Victoria. These additional buildings might be completed
within four years and a half from the present time.
A BLAZE OF JEWELS.--The Paris correspondent of the
Manchester Guardian, in an account of the Paris exhibition,
thus describes the lustre, or hanging chandelier of M. de
Bourgoing, minister from France to Bavaria under the reign
of Louis Philippe, and since then minister from France to
Spain. He say;:" This lovely piece orworkmanship hangs
in one of the upper galleries, opposite to the Pietro dura and
mosaic works of Florence and Rome. The mounting of it is in
gilt bronze, of the style and time of Louis XVl.'s reign—a
period, be it remarked, far too much neglected in the way of
decorative art. For its other materials it is composed of rock
crystal arid precious stones from every part of the world. For
the exact and arithmetical part of the description, I will pre-
mise that the central column of the chandelier is one metre
seventy-five centimetres (about 3 feet 6 inches) high, and is en-
tirely formed of pieces of rock crystal of extraordinary size.
The form of the whole is a triple crown, the largest circle of
which measures 4i metres (about five yards) in circumference.
These crowns are composed of fruits and flowers, all more or
less represented by curious and precious stones. For in-
stance, in the largest crown-circle the grapes hanging in
clusters from under golden leaves, are some of amethyst, some
of lapis-lazuli, according as the harmony of colours required
darker or paler shades. The greengages (and these have a
beautiful effect) are in uncut emeralds, or round lumps of
chrysophrase ; small mirabel plums are topazes ; and there are
dark purple plums which are figured by fine nightshade-
tinted amethysts. In the smaller flowers that are intermixed
with all these treasures of Pomona, you distinguished gems
such as pearls, rubies, and sapphires. Several hitherto hardly
known minerals have been used in this curious and splendid
work of art; for instance, to reproduce sufficiently the vary-
ing tints from pink to crimson necessary for red apples,
strawberries, &c., and for certain flowers, large use has been
made of a mineral called Quincites, from the fact of its prin-

of Seine and Marne. But it is in the smallest of the circles—
the lower one, two metres round—that the most exquisite

of small amethysts, that would be a coiffure for the queen of

dazzle you with their prismatic flames. Then, too, the way in,

The Moniteur of Thursday publishes the following :
The additional details collected at Helsingfors confirm the
statements already made respecting the losses of the enemy,
which have been very considerable ; and, moreover, they make
known to us the damage caused by our projectiles.
Thus it was not, as supposed, only to withdraw the Russian
three-decker anchored between Gustayswaard and Bakholmen
that the enemy took away that vessel from the passage in
which it had been placed. Hit, and perforated by the shells,
that vessel was sinking, and the Russians were obliged to tow
her into shallow water ; she is still there, lying over on one
side, and full of water, which explains the inclined position in
which she was seen from the sea. Considerable storehouses of
corn and flour destined for the troops were consumed by the
flames.
Great fears were entertained that the allied squadrons would
attack and burn the town. Persons who have visited Swea-
bork since the bombardment have stated that the principal
buildings destroyed in the Citadel are—
Two powder magazines.
Two shell rnagakines.
One magazine full of flax and ropes.
Two storehouses, containing corn and flour for the troops.
One pitch manufactory.
One large house, containing hospital stores for the army.
Seventeen private houses.
The house of the Governor-General and his Chancery.
Eighteen vessels hit in the basins.
The granite quays are damaged by the shells.
Finally, the shells which fell on board the man-of-war
wounded 96 men, who were conveyed to the town hospital,
but the number of killed is not known.
The number of killed acknowledged is 2,000, but it is sup-
posed at Helsingfors that the number is much greater. At
the present moment the hospital at Helsingfors is full of
wounded from the citadel, and, not being large enough to
contain all who have been brought there, it has been found
necessary to lodge them with the inhabitants.

There is generally so much difficulty experienced in the intro-
duction of any novelty; however valuable, especially in Medicine
or Surgery, and that difficulty is so much enhanced if the inven-
tion militates against preconceived ideas, and old-established anti
cherished modes of practice, that it is thought desirable to pub-

Apparatus from some of the many persons who have ' experienced
its benefits.

British Library Heritage Made Digital Newspapers | The Liverpool Standard and General Commercial Advertiser. | Liverpool, Merseyside, England | 1855-09-11T00:00:00 | ARTICLE | 2,563 | 0.9444 | 0.1164 | rate of charge on large and small consumers, instead of a dif-
ferential one in favour of the former.
Mr. Robertston Gladstone said he thought the Guardian
Society was right in the principle of insisting that all con-
sumers should be charged alike for the quantities they rela-
tively consumed. Any discount in favour of the large con-
sumer could only be made at the expense of the poor.
Mr. Reay explained that the differential system, alluded to
by Mr. Mac Fie, had been found inconvenient and unjust, and
had accordingly been given up.
Mr. Mac Fie next explained his conviction that great incon-
venience and no small amount of danger was incurred through
the rash and inconsiderate way in which the pressure was put
upon the gas at the principal reservoirs. He then repeated his
disinclination to make any charge against the Gas Company.
Mr. Henry Thredder, tobacconist, 14, Paradise-street,
stated his conviction that the illuminating power of the gas
had been much deteriorated within the last few years up to
about three weeks ago. He complained of having experienced
incivility from the servants of the Gas Company. He also
considered the charges made for fittings and repairs by the
company were exorbitant. The exaction of deposits for meters
he considered iniquitous. In his own case, the company had
exacted £3 155., as a deposit, and it was years before he could
obtain restitution for it ; which he was only able to accomplish
by deducting £1 from his gas payments quarterly.
Mr. John Rumsay, tin-plate-worker, 7, Derby-street, stated
that besides the premises he occupied in Derby-street, he had
two shops in the bazaar; in one of the latter he did not burn
gas, and had paid for the other. Notwithstanding this, the
company demanded a quarter's gas-rent of him, and threat.
ened, if he did not pay it, to cut off the supply from his
Derby-street premises. This demand he refused to comply
with, and the matter remained in abeyance.
Mr. Thomas Green, druggist, Wavertree-road, complained
that although he had not increased his rate or time of burn-
ing, his gas bills had materially increased in amount since
the nominal reduction of the gas. For a period during
which he had to pay 13s. 2d. he was now charged £1 12s. 4d.
He also complained of the overcharges made by the Gas Com-
pany for the services of their fitters. He was of opinion that
the publicwould receive benefit by a separation of the fitting
department from the gas supply.
Mr. Thomas Corkhill, upholsterer, of Brunswick-road, com-
plained that the gas had deteriorated in quality since the
amalgamation of the two companies. He likewise complained
of the exorbitant charges made for the rent of meters, and
also of neglect on the part of the company in attending to
complaints. In his own case he had experienced this diffi-
culty. When his gas apparatus was out of order, he had sent
to the company's offices to get the matter set right, which
they had omitted to do, and his men were consequently thrown
idle, to his loss and inconvenience. If permitted to give an
opinion, he should state that the arbitrary demand of the
company of a deposit of from Bs. to 10s. for each meter, was a
great hardship on the poor. He might also mention that, in
some instances which he knew of, the company refused to give
a supply of gas to a new tenant; because the former one had
run away in their debt, unless the new corner paid the arrears
due by his defaulting predecessor.
Mr. Wm. Jones, 19, Berry-street, said he complained of the
charges for men's time. They came and went when they liked,
and referred all enquiries to the -gas office, where little satis-
factory information was to be had.
Mr. Thomas Quayle, 46, Mill-street, complained that since
the reduction in price his bills had increased. From April to
July, 1854, his bill was £1 2s. Bd.; ditto, 1855, £lss. ld. From
July to April, 1854, £2 Is. sd. ; same period, 1855, £2 '6d.
He also complained of his wife having been insulted by the
company's officers when she called to make complaint. •
Mr. William Aikin, 41, Great Charlotte-street, said he bad
felt satisfied that he was paying for more gas than he consumed.
His quarterly bills had Increased. In December, 1848, it was
£1 13s. 3d.; in December, 1854, it was £3 Ils. 3d., with gas at
the same price, namely 4s. 6d. His yearly bills had gradually
imcreased. For 1852 they amounted to £5 95...5d.; in 1853,
£6 15s. Bd.; and 1854, £7 Bs. 6d. But the greatest 'discrepancy
of all was this I—ln the six months ending June, 1854, his bill
was £2 19s. Bd.; same time, 1855, £3 16s. 7d. In reply to
Mr. Evans, he said the gas had been of a better quality during
the last month.
Mr. James R. Jeffery, (Jeffery, Morrish, and Co., Compton
House,) said, he had been a consmer for the last twenty years.
Complained of an increase in his bills since the reduction in
price. From the 11th of January to the 17th April, 1854,
the amount at 4s. 6d. per thousand feet was £67 9s. 2d.
From the 26th December, 1854, to the 4th April, 1855,
£7B 6s. 11d.. His bill for the quarter ending July 4th, 1854,
was £3B 18s. sd. ; same period 1855, £44 16s. 4d. He did
not see why the company should be allowed to charge for
meters. Every other tradesman who sold by measure had to
provide -his own measure. He complained that the meter
testers of the company did not agree in their results, when
testing meters in their (Messrs. Jeffery and Co.'s) establish-
ment. He thought the ;proposed supervisor should be per-
fectly independent of the company. He had found the com-
pany's officers attentive and courteous, except on one occasion.
He thought the charges of the company for fittings were ex-
cessively high ; the result of the monopoly which the com-
pany secured by being gas fitters. .1f -they continued to be
so, he thought that a separate account of profits should
be "kept for that department, as apart from the profits they
derived simply as manufacturers of gas. He had been much
struck with the remarkable increase in the illuminating power
of the gas simultaneous with the appearance of the gentle.
man brought to town by the Corp-oration (Mr. Clegg) to test
the gas meters. It was quite a Mistake, he thought, to sup-
pose that a second company would be any competition at all.
He thought the present company might supply gas to the
borough at 3s. per thousand with profit to themselves and ad-
vantage to the consumer. 'When getting up the Guardian
Gas Company, they had calculated that, even with the less
,consumption which they
profit. could 'have hoped to secure, they
would be able to supply gas at 3s.- 2d with a good margin for
Mr. Evans here made a few remarks, to the effect that ho
-considered the points proved were that, although there had
been an apparent reduction in the price of gas, the charge to
the
consumer had considerably increased —that irregularity
in the meters had been shown to exist, and that it had proved
that the present company could be worked more economically.
Mr. Jeffery made some observations with a view of showing
'that it was advisable to move at once in the matter, for what
might be advisable to the consumers to do now, might not be
advisable in twelve months hence, if the:company laid out any
'further amount of capital.
Mr. John Carter, 26, Redcress-street, complained that the
-,quality of the gas had deteriorated, and increase of the bills.
His bill for June 1854 had been £1 Is. Bd.; June 1855, al-
.though there had been a reduction in price, and no more
burners employed, £1 3s. He :had always found that other
'people put up fittings quite as _good, and much cheaper than
the company.
Mr. John Richmond, 3, Paradise-street, complained of a
-deficient suply, and increaseotcharges. His bills from March
to June, 1854, charged him for ar consumption of 168,000 feet
of gas ; for the same period of 1655, 198,000 feet, an increase
-of 15 per cent., although he had in the meantime reduced
'many of his bnrners in size from twelves to fours. His bills,
from December to March, 1854, were £l3 Os. 2d. ; 1850,
Zl3 18s. 6d.
Mr. Henry Hook, 24, London-road, complained of a defi-
reient supply, especially on Saturday evenings.
Mr. John Cripps, of Bold-sireet, sent a statement, according
to which, his bills for the secondquarter (ending July) of 1854
were £2 2s. Bd. ; 1855, £3 10s. Od., an increase which he
was totally at a loss to account for.—Mr. J. Mackenzie sent a
commehication to show that the increase in his gas charges
had been 32 per cent.—Mr. Charles' Inman, of Everton, wrote
-to:the committee, that the quality.of the gas was much dete-
riorated of late, and that he was compelled to have his ceilings
newly coloured every year in consequence. The supply he
had found sufficient. For the yearllB42, with gas at 7s. per
thousand feet, his bill was £5 7s. 5d.; for 1852, with gas at
4s. 6d., it was £9 ls. 6d., to his great astonishment, for he
was,not aware of any change in his consumption. He was in
favour of an inspector of meters being appointed.
This was the last witness examined, and the chairman said
that he had received the following letter from Mr. Flintoff in
reply 'to a letter read from Mr. Barlow-at the last meeting :
TO JOSZPH KITCHEN, ESQ., CNAIRMAN OF THE GAS COM-
MITTEE, TOWN-HALL, LIVERPOOL.
Sir,—ln the report of the proceedings of the gas committee of
the Town Council, printed in the newspapers of this day, a letter

as to my evidence,
mon fairness, to be allowed to give the following explanation :
I stated that, since the amalgamation of the two gas companies,
in 1848, Hiegel; in Liverpool had been reduced inubraltity about
cronrvoinsd
this
12i per cent., and that the loss sustained by-the
source alone amounted to about .t '02,803 ifis. 2. I
from the observations of Mr. Barlow, in the company's
printed report of 1854, and the evidence of Mr. King, its Jiginoewern,
on the Guardian Gas Bills, in 1847. I beg respectfully to refer
your committee to these documents, which prove the truth of my
assertions as•to the illuminating power of :he Liverpool gas.
In 1847, Mr. Zing states, that the gas supplied by a burner
consuming 4 feet per hour produced lights equatto2o and 10-12ths
of a wax candle.cansuming 143 grains per hour..
In 1854, Mr. Barlow's observations show that the light from a
similar burner was equal to 20 and 10 decimals of.a candle con-
suming only 120 grains per hour, or 23 grains per candle less
than those used by Mr. King; so that the burner in 1854 pro-
duced light equal to 2,653 grains of wax, while a similar burner
in 1847 gave light equal to 2,979 grains of war, or, as r stated in
evidence, about 1241 per cent. more light than we get mow.
I feel sorry that 1 .should be driven, through Mr. Barlow's
attempt to impugn my evidence, to trouble the committee with
these explanations, and hope that the motives of that gentleman
will be rightly understood, when I state that he is the editor of a
monthly publication, issued to gloss over the defects of misting
gas companies, against ,whom I have an action for libel now
'Pending.-
I much regret that my evidence, as furnished to the newspa-
.pers, on the 21st ult.., was so incomplete; and still more, that a
series of questions calculated to elucidate all the facts known-in
connection with lighting Liverpool with gas, placed in the hands
of Mr. Reny, were, for some reason unknown to myself and dhe
committee, omitted altogether.-4 am, sir, yoursE most respTOFF.ectfully,
GO. FLIN

Mr. Reay said he must deny the assertion contained in the
last paragraph of the letter, as he only received " the lot of
evidence " referred to, ten minutes before he entered the
room, and as he had not read it, it was not likely that he was
going to examine Mr. Fliutoff on it.
The Court adjourned at a quarter to five o'clock, after
making four hours' sitting. The attendance was very meagre
throughout the afternoon, and for the last hour and a half
consisted only of the chairman (Mr. Kitchen) and one mem-
ber, Mr. Crosthwaite. It was understood that the Committee
would meet again on Thursday.
THE GIPSEY BRIDE AND THE RoYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—
We understand that arrangements hare been made by the
passengers and crew of the Australian packet Gipsey Bride,
about to proceed on her second voyage, to patronise the Royal
Amphitheatre to-morrow night. As the idea is quite new to
Liverpool, or indeed to any other town in the kingdom, and
as a meeting of this kind between passengers and crew is cal-
culated to raise a kind feeling among them in the course of
the voyage, we have no doubt that there will be a crowded
house. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
A Fooargg OLD MAN.—Mary Lambert, a widow with two
young children, was brought up at the Police-court yesterday,
charged with being concerned in a robbery of £3O. William
Jones, an old man, who stated that he was a rigger employed
on the Australian ship Gipsey Bride, said he went into a
grocery cellar kept by the prisoner in Slate-street, out of
Great Howard-street, on Sunday afternoon. He had £3O in
gold with him when he went in, and, at the request of the
prisoner and another woman not in custody, he sent for
" three noggins" of whiskey. The drink took effect on him,
he fell asleep in the chair, and when lie awoke, he was alone
in the cellar, and all his money gone. Information was
given to the police, and an officer went in, but found the
place deserted and all in darkness. He waited for some time,
obtained the assistance of another officer, and then went
again, when they apprehended the prisoner and her children,
and found a sovereign on the floor, under a bed. No other
moneyl was found, and at the request of Superintendent
Clough the case was adjourned for a week. The officer stated
that
a person was robbed of Xii 3 in the same den a fortnight
ago,

despatch from Admiral Bruat
CRIMEA, Sept. 6.
_ _
" The captain of frigate Huchet de Cintie, com-
manding the Milan, has informed me that the Milan
and Caton have destroyed in the Sea of Azoff, from
Temriank to Dolga, 43 fisheries, 127 boats, some
thousand nets, tar, salt, and an immense quantity of
casks. Four fisheries only have escaped destruction ;
the shallowness of the water did not allow our vessels
to approach them. The damage done to the enemy
may be estimated at some millions. The fishery trade
in the Sea of Azoff gives rise to a considerable export
trade, which extends to Poland, The destruction
which has been done will render it impossible for this
year.

joined Captain Osborne, of the Vesuvius, to send their
boats up the gulf of Oukliouk, and to burn the pro-
vender collected there on the coast. All the com-

being on so friendly a footing with Captain Osborne."
THE FRENCH EMPEROR SHOT AT.
The Moniteur of Sunday publishes the following :
His Majesty the Emperor attended a representation
at the Italian Opera last night.
At the moment the carriage in which were the Ladies
of Honour of Her Majesty the Empress stopped in
front of the theatre an individual standing on the foot
pavement opposite fired, without taking aim, two small
pocket-pistols at the carriage.
No one was hit. This person, who appears to be a
maniac rather than an assassin, was immediately ar-
rested.
_
(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
The name of the individual arrested is Bellemarre.
He is about twenty-two years of age, and was born
at Rouen. When he was sixteen he was sentenced to
two years' imprisonment for swindling.
At the expiration of two months the Emperor, then
President of the Republic, commuted his sentence.
He pretends to have afterwards taken an active
part in the events of the 2d of December---to have
fought behind one of the barricades of the Rue Ram-
buteau. - _
At that time placards, having in large characters,
" Motives for the Condemnation to Death of Louis
Napoleon," were seized by the police.
During the examination Bellemarre declared him-
self to be the author of those placards.
He was sentenced by default to two years' im-
prisonment, and was transferred to Belle Isle.
Since he left prison, in February last, he lived at
Paris, under a false name, and had accepted an ap-
pointment as clerk to M. Jeanne, constable.
Bellemarre is a man of delicate constitution and of
vulgar appearance.
His antecedents, his language, his attitude after his
arrest, and during the examination, show that be is
really a maniac.
He had taken up a position at the entrance of the
Rue Marsollier, on the foot pavement opposite to the
entrance of the theatre, and he fired his two pistols at
the moment when the cries of " Vive l'Empereur "
made him fancy that the carriage which conveyed the
Ladies of Honour of the Empress was that of His
Majesty.
A city policeman on duty at this point instantly
pulled down the assassin's arm and captured him at
once.
Bellemarre was first taken to the police-office at
the Italian Theatre, and at once, M. Pietri, Prefect of
Police, presiding, a first statement was drawn up by
the Commissary of Police of the district.
The assassin is locked up in a cell at the Concier-
genie, where he is undergoing an examination.
The investigation continues.
His Majesty the Emperor, on his entrace into the
theatre, where the news of this criminal attempt was
immediately known, was greeted with shouts of
" Vive l'Empereur ! and by rounds of applause, which
were renewed at intervals.
His Majesty only remained about one hour at the
theatre, and then proceeded to the Palace of the
Tuileries.
PRINCE NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE.
His Imperial Majesty's yacht Arid, Capt. De
Beaulieu, which left Cherbourg at three o'clock on
Sunday morning, arrived in Plymouth Sound at seven
that evening, having on board Prince Napoleon and
suite, consisting of Colonel De Marest, Captain De
Laroucherrs, R.N., Colonel Cypriani, of the Piedmon-
tese army, Dr. Yran, and Commander Fery Pisany,
The yacht proceeded into Hamoaze, and his Highness
landed immediately, and went to the Government-
house, Mount Wise, where he was received by Port
Admiral Sir William Parker, Bart., G.C.B.
It is stated to be the intention of Prince to visit
several English ports. The yacht was to be ready for
departure yesterday.
LETTERS FROM THE CRIMEA.
(FROM THE TIMES' CORRESPONDENT.)
CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, Aug. 27.
The state of tension in which we were kept during the
greater part of last week, in daily and almost hourly expecta-
tion of, an attack, has somewhat relaxed during the last
twenty-four hours, although every precaution continues to be
taken. On the night from Friday to Saturday our com-
manders seem to have felt very confident that something
serious would occur; everybody was afoot, or in readiness to
turn out at an instant's notice, and dusty and disgusted
enough looked some of the staff after knocking about all night
in anticipation of a fight that came not. It was doubtlessin con-
sequence of the severe extra duty thus entailed on officers as
well as men, that the ceremony of the investiture of the Order of
the Bath was postponed until two o'clock to-day, when it is
to take place with due pomp at General Simpson's head-
quarters.
The Highlanders having been countermanded from trench
duty on Friday evening, and marched over to Kamara at
two o'clock in the morning to support the Sardinians, the
Guards alone went to, the trenches, and consequently the
Light Division remained there thirty-six hours, instead of
twenty-four. The Guards had two casualties among the
officers—Colonel Francis Seymour, wounded, not seriously,
and Captain Drummond shot through the lungs. Hopes are
entertained of saving the latter officer's life. The Highland
Division came back to camp on Saturday, and returned to
Kamara at night, to remain there, as they expect, about a
week. The 56th Regiment, about 700 strong, having arrived
at Balaklava, were detained a day or two on board ship, until
their destination should be decided upon. It had been in-
tended to send them to Kertch ; on Saturday it was said they
would go to Kamara, but they have finally been annexed to
the First Division. The army continues to get under arms
before daybreak, cavalry and all. Yesterday the latter arm
turned out 2,950 British sabres and lances, and, had needs
been, 600 or 600 more could have been brought into the field.
Although many here have been disposed to treat as idle
rumour and even to turn into ridicule the reports that the
Russians meditated an attack on Balaklava, it would appear
this danger has not been disregarded at head-quarters, where
information has doubtless been received on the subject. The
Leander and Diamond frigates have been lying moored by a
single cable, and Lieut. Fletcher, commanding the Triton
war-steamer, has directions to be in readiness to get his steam
up at brief notice, and tow them out of Balaklava harbour to
a position whence their guns would bear on the Marine
Heights.
Notwithstanding all these preparations for action, I repeat
that people seem less confident, or, at any rate talk less of that
which two or three days ago every one declared to be immi-
nent: and last evening some sanguine spirits, who doubtless,
with good reason, would prefer a day on the moors to a night
in the trenches, were heard confidently to predict approaching
peace. The Russians, they declared, could sustain the con-
test no longer, owing to the want of water and the difficulty
of obtaining supplies ; their final attempt had been made at
the action of the 16th, and, finding themselves totally repulsed
with heavy loss at the point they had selected as offering
most chances of success, they would not risk another attack,
but would yield, treat for peace, make the necessary conces-
sions, and in a couple of months the British army would go
home again. The hopefulness of youth and a certain vivacity
of imagination may doubtless qualify a man to produce rose-
tinted sketches of this kind, and there certainly can be no
manner of question as to the immense superiority of a merry
Christmas in England to a muddy one on Balaklava's heights
any more than of that of the smoking sirloin and tenderly fed
turkey over Crimea's lean kine and fowls that refuse to
be fattened. But there is no magic in wishes any more than
in words, and it is to be feared that these prophets of peace
underrate the Russian's tenacity and endurance. It is
certain that his position is a difficult one, if, as is
now the growing belief, he runs short of water and cannot get
up supplies fast enough for the number of *men necessary to
hold his position. That such is the case we have evidence
worthy of consideration, but which yet must not be unhesita-
tingly received, since it is chiefly that of deserters. Accepting
it, for argument's sake, as trustworthy and positive, the
enemy's only alternative is to attack or to give in. To get
them to attack is just what is most to be desired. Setting
aside the idea of a siege, we have two powerful armies, each
occupying a line of extremely strong positions, not to be taken
without severe loss and some risk of defeat. Evidently the
disadvantage is with the army which is first compelled to as-
sume the offensive. The result of the action on the Tchernaya
is sufficient proof of this. Since it occurred the defences of the
point then assailed have been greatly improved by the French,
who laugh at the idea of a similar attempt being made with
even a shadow of success. An attempt on Balaklava or a
general attack on our lines would be a strong indication that
the statements of the straitened condition of the Russians are
well founded, and that they are driven to a desperate effort.
Such an attack, if our generals prove as able as we know our
soldiers to be brave, ought to recoil with terrible force upon
the heads of the assailants, occasioning them heavy losses of
men, and giving us solid proofs of success in the shape of
newly-acquired positions.
Besides the reports current of approaching famine and actual
drought in the Russian camp, there are others of the plague
being in Sebastopol and of a mutiny having broken out, in
consequence of which a hundred men have been shot. I men-
tion these as mere flying rumours, which I have been unable
to trace to any trustworthy source.
Our Works on the left continue to advance. Several new
batteries—one of 15 mortars—have been constructed in front
of what were recently our most advanced positions on that
part of the line. The Greenhill Battery, lately so prominent,
now appears retiring into the rear. There was a heavy fire
before daybreak this morning. The Russians showed them-
selves outside the Redan, but it was too hot to hold, and they
promptly retired. To-day the batteries have been very quiet.
MONDAY NIGHT.
The ceremony of the Investiture of the Order of the Bath
came off to-day between one and two o'clock. Sir Harry
Jones was ill and unable to attend, and Lord Stratford
de Redcliffe went to his quarters and invested him there.
Lord Stratford, I think I mentioned in my last, arrived
here two days ago, accompanied by Lord Napier, M. Pisani,
Mr. Moore, Mr. Brodie, Mr. Allison, and by Dr. Tice, staff-
surgeon, as medical attendant. The place where to-day's
ceremony came off was a square court in front of
General Simpson's quarters. One side of the court
is formed by the long, low building occupied by the
English commander-in-chief, two others by stables and out-
buildings, while the fourth is open to the downs. This
square, over which, a year ago, Crimean pigs and poultry
grunted and crowed, glittered to-day with British and French
uniforms, gilding, and embroidery. At the entrance to the
house a sort of tent was formed of flags. Above waved the
standard of England, flanked by the British ensign and
French tricolour, and by the Sardinian and Turkish colours.
The square of buildings was lined by another of troops—de-
tachments of Guards, Rifles, Line, Artillery, Cavalry, and
Naval Brigade. From the side facing the house there ex-
tended a double line of lancer sentries along a gentle slope, at
the extremity of which guns were in readiness to fire the sa-
lute. Inside the square assembled a number of officers in full
dress. Outside were other officers and a few civilians, among
whom some ladies' riding habits were to be observed. Gen.
Pelissier came in his carriage, with his staff, and other French
generals were there. The corpulent person and dark com-
plexion of the French commander contrasted strikingly with
General Simpson's tall, slender figure and white hair. When
all were assembled the ceremony was proceeded with. Lord
Stratford made a dignified speech, which acquired additional
interest from the circumstances. He remarked on the unpre-
cedented nature of the investiture, occurring, as it did, almost
on the ground where the services had been rendered and the
exploits achieved for which the honour was conferred, and al-
most under fire of the enemy's guns. As he spoke the words a
loud boom from the batteries gave peculiar appropriateness to
his expressions and a dramatic interest to the scene. Sir Colin
Campbell and Sir Edmund Lyons each spoke a few words in
reply. The troops presented arms, the band played " God
Save the Queen," the artillery fired a Royal salute, and then
the force assembled, which was about 1,000 men, filed off, and
the numerous groups of officers shortly left the ground. The
pageant was favoured by a brilliant sunshine, tempered by a
pleasant breeze, and could not have gone off better.
Later in the afternoon we had a spectacle of a different
kind, but, in its humble way, of a not less interesting nature.
Soyer, the Regenerator, now the camp cook par excellence,
opened his kitchens on the esplanade in front of the Guards'
camp. A row of huge iron boilers supplied each one its dif-
ferent soup or stew, concocted entirely from the rations daily
furnished to the troops. From the summit of a large marquee
fluttered the French and English colours ; smaller flags waved
;;lgailyag
foliage.

to the savoury cauldrons, the depth of which alone saved them
from speedy exhaustion. There was no denying the excellence
of the cookery. 5 o'clock is a hungry hour in the Crimea;
and I can answer for it that few of the guests contented them-
selves with merely tasting. General Simpson smiled approba-
tion of the skill of the French artiste, and General Pelissier
seemed highly to enjoy his countryman's potage. A great
number of persons were present. There were rice pudding.
and Cossack plumpudding (all rations), snug tents, with cham-
pagne, and the most crystalline of ice (not rations), and Soyer
was voted, nem. con., the worthy chef of the army in the
Crimea. To speak seriously, he will render real service if he
teaches the soldier, as I understand he proposes to do, to make
the most of the very excellent materials now supplied to him,
and which hitherto have unquestionably been more or less
wasted through ignorance of a few of the simplest laws of the
gastronomic science.

ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA.
By the British and North American Royal Mail Steam-ship
America, Captain Lang, which arrived on Sunday, we have
intelligence from Boston to the 29th ult. The America
brought 131 passengers and 8847,408 in specie.
A terrible accident occurred on the 27th, on the New York
and Philadelphia Railroad. Twenty-three persons were killed
and seventy wounded. Among the killed was Baron de St.
Andr4, French consul at Philadelphia.
The late Mr. Abbott Lawrence had bequeathed $130,000 to
various societies.
Mr. James C. Thompson, proprietor of the extensive ma-
chine works on Quay-street, Albany, had received an offer to
assume the chief-engineership of the Russian Navy, and was
at Washington making the necessary arrangements with the
Russian Minister. The offer was made for three years at a
salary of $6,000 per annum with house rent free, and had
been made in consequence of'the resignation of Mr. Cham-
bers, a Scotchman, who had held that position for the past
eighteen years. Mr. Thompson was, for five years, first
engineer on the steamer Pacific, of the Collins line.
Advices from the Great Salt Lake City report that the
grasshoppers had destroyed the third crop of grain, and star-
vation or an abandonment of the settlements were the alter-
natives presented to the Mormons.
At Olympia (Washington territory) great excitement pre-
vailed relative to the discovery of rich gold fields at Fort Col-
ville, in about 48 degrees latitude, or nearly 250 miles from
Pugest Sound.
At Norfolk, on the 27th, there were thirty-five deaths
from fever during the forty-eight hours previously to noon
of that day. At New Orleans the deaths in the city during
the week previously to the 27th were 471, including 357
deaths from yellow fever, being a decided decline. The
New York Evening Express of the 28th says, " The yellow
fever continues to desolate—we had almost said decimate
—the stricken cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth. Awful as
were the incidents attending the New Orleans epidemic,
the summer before last, the melancholy particulars we
publish elsewhere,—the latest to hand,—throw these sombre
reminiscences into the shade. And the worst of it all is,
there is no abatement, no prospect even of abatement, as yet.
This is terrible. Be it the part of those who are afar off and
in safety to continue their contributions in aiii of the sick and
the suffering poor." Up to the 23rd the yellow fever was not
prevalent in Mobile. A Baltimore physician writes from Nor-
folk, on the 25th, as follows :—" I arrived here yesterday
safely, and went immediately to work. The statements in
the papers in regard to the epidemic are not exaggerated; on
the contrary, they do not convey a true idea of the actual
condition of things. You cannot imagine a more sad and me-
lancholy spectacle than Norfolk presents at this moment. The
houses and places of business are all closed—two-thirds of the
inhabitants fleeing or fled—the streets and market-places
deserted—and gloom, and fear, and consternation every where.
Accompanied by Doctor Thompson, I last night, after ten o'clock,
called to see a couple of patients, and I assure you that though
we passed through the principal streets we did not meet or
see a single soul during our journey. Our footsteps sounded
and resounded ominously upon the pavements. Not a single
light could be seen in the houses by which we passed ; it
only needed a glimpse in the moonlight of a jackal' or vulture
to realise the picture of an eastern plague-stricken city. The
disease is not abating in the least. From all that I can learn
I am convinced that there are at least 600 down with it.
This, in a population now reduced to 8,000, is fearful. In the
hotel where we are stopping there are ten patients—one death
took place last night. The heat is intense, and the atmos-
phere at night heavily charged with malaria. I have suffered
all the morning with a very severe headache, and Thompson
says my eyes are affected; but I have no fears. The head-
ache I attribute to the oppressive state of the atmosphere.
The disease is of a more peculiar character, and strange to say
nearly all the cases present the same symptoms In the onset
you have all the indication of our common bilious fever—but
the treatment must, it appears, be totally different. All my
cases are, so far, progressing favourably—but the disease is so
insidious in its workings, that though everything may look
favourable, you cannot prognosticate a happy result."
The New Orleans Bulletin, of the 21st, says :—" The most
interesting intelligence that we can communicate to our absent
friends is, the sanitary condition of our city. We grieve to
say that the weather is, and has been for some days past, as
unpropitious for any mitigation of the epidemic as it well can
be. Northern winds have prevailed for the most part during
the past week ; the nights and mornings are unseasonably
cool, such as we generally experience in October, while (with
the exception of yesterday, which was somewhat moderate)
the heat at mid-day is excessively oppressive. The conse-
quence has been, as was to be expected, an increase in the
number of deaths from yellow fever for the past week. The
number of deaths from yellow fever for the week foot up 394,
against 291 for the week previously. The total number of
deaths from all diseases for the week ending on the 19th, was
517, against 413 for the week ending on the 12th instant. It
is a mistaken impression which prevails among some of our
people, that the present epidemic is less violent, and attended
with less mortality than any that has preceded it. Excepting
the fatal year of 1853, the reverse is the fact. The deaths
from yellow fever for the week ending on the 20th of August,
1847, were 296 ; total deaths from all diseases, 415. For the
week ending 20th August, 1854, the deaths from yellow fever
were 118. The greatest number of yellow fever interments in
any one week in 1854, was for the week ending September
24th, when they amounted to 311—fifty-three less than for
the week just passed. The week in 1853 corresponding with
the present one was the most fatal one ever known in New
Orleans ; the deaths from yellow fever in that week reached
the terrible figure of 1,442 ; the total deaths were 1,571. This
day two years ago was the blackest day in death's calendar—
the number of deaths on that day, including" those for which
there were no certificates, was 318 !"
CALIFORNIA.—The George Law has arrived at New York
from Aspinwall, with $1,285,616 in specie, and advices from
California to the Ist of August. The Golden Age sailed from
San Francisco on the Ist ult., with $1,600,000 on freight, of
which $312,284 was on English account. A line of telegraph
had been erected between Aspinwall and Panama, and was in
successful operation. The health of the isthmus was good.
There had been but little rain, and the railroad was in excellent
condition. H.M.S. Monarch, 84, and President, 62, and the
French vessels La Forte, Eurydice, Alceste, and Obligado were
in the harbour of San Francisco. A fire broke out in the town
on the 18th, which destroyed about $30,000 worth of property.
Agreeable to notice through the daily newspapers, a meeting
of the preliminary committee of the Immigration Society, and
those favouring the objects of the society, had been held in
San Francisco. The attendance was quite large, and included
many of the most prominent and influential citizens, all of
whom seemed to be desirous of lending the movement their
cordial support. The objects of the meeting were :-1. To
disseminate continually and systematically information of the
soil, climate, agricultural products, yields of crops, &c., of Cali-
fornia. 2. By business negotiations to reduce the price of
passage to California, and to multiply the means of transport.
3. To produce employment for immigrants immediately on
their arrival, at some rate, however low, so that they may not
go idling about and get disgusted while they are yet on the
threshold. The mining news continued cheering, and prospects
were never better for the working man. The largest portion
of the Allied fleets, including the Monarch, Captain G. Patey;
the President, Commander Barridge ; Eurydice, Obligado,
La Forte, and Alceste, had returned to San Francisco, after
visiting Petropaulowski, and finding the place entirely deser-
ted by the Russians. The officers of the French and English
vessels were to receive a number of complimentary balls from
the citizens of San Francisco during their stay in the harbour,
and in return they nye to give like entertainments on board
their vessels. A number of sick seamen were landed from the
French frigate La Forte. Most of them were affected with
symptoms of scurvy. They were taken to the French hospital.
The crops in some portions of the State were represented as
being rather inferior, while in other parts they would probably
come fully up to previous expectation. The general product
of the mines was equal to any previous period. Business,
although not as brisk as in former years, was quietly and
steadily recovering from the financial shock which it ex-
perienced a few months back. A great fire had taken place at
Stocklin. At Los Angelas an earthquake had done consider-
able damage.
Mexico.—Accounts from Vera Cruz to the 22nd ult. report
that Santa Anna left the city of Mexico on the 9th ult., signed
his abdication at Perote, and proceeded to Vera Cruz, where
he embarked on the 17th ult. for Havana. He was escorted
in his flight by 2,500 troops ; but shortly after leaving the
capital one-third of them revolted, killed several of the officers,
and then joined the revolutionists. On arriving at Vera Cruz
another revolt broke out ; but not a single regiment continued
faithful to their fallen chief, and the mutineers, vanquished,
fled in confusion. With regard to the reconstruction of the
Government, our intelligence is very brief. It appears, how-
ever, that the plan of Alvarez has been adopted, and that
General Carro is Provisional President, and General La Vega
commander-in-chief of the army. Santa Anna left the capital
on the pretence of quelling the insurrection in Vera Cruz.
The office of the Universel, and forty other buildings, had
been demolished by the populace during the excitement conse-
quent upon Santa Anna's departure. The military interfered,
killing forty persons, and wounding a large number. The
statue of Santa Anna had been torn down and trampled upon
by the people. Delegates met in the city of Mexico on the
10th inst., who chose Gen. Carro President for six months, and
also ordained the liberty of the press.
- Later advices from the Rio Grande state that the revolu-
tionists were awaiting to hear of the downfal of Santa Anna,
and were consequently inactive.
CllBA.—Advices to the 23rd, state that H.M.S. Daring was
at Vera Cruz, for the purpose of embarking Santa Anna on
his arrival, and that a Spanish steamer had likewise been
placed at his service. Sickness was on the increase, but it was
principally confined to the soldiers. Sugar buyers were active,
admitting advanced rates. Molasses were scarce, and at high
prices. Freights for sugar 4s. per box; $1 hhd. molasses
Exchange on London firm. The British brig-of-war, Arab,
arrived off the harbour on the 16th, and reported having ex-
perienced very heavy weather at sea. Some anxiety was
experienced for the safety of the British mail steamer Wye,
which was nine days overdue from Vera Cruz.
The Chicago Tribune, of the 24th, says :—" Revelations
have been made to us, by one who is entitled to know the
designs of the Kinney expedition, which leave no room for
doubt that a descent upon Cuba is the ultimate object of the
party now in Greytown, and their friends and backers in the
States. To this end they are now building vessels, purchasing
stores, and enlisting recruits all along our Atlantic coast,
though the latter are gathered principally in Louisiana and
other slave states. Their efforts are seconded by the Cuban
Juntas in New York and New Orleans, which furnish the
principal part of the funds needed for the enterprise."
The Daniel Webster had arrived at New York from Punta
Arenas with $712,000 in specie. A terrific hurricane swept
over the Mosquito coast on the night of the 14th instant, by
which the British sloop-of-war Wolverine became.a total loss.
The cholera had abated in Nicaragua, but not until it had
swept away nearly all the Government forces, and the re-
mainder of the troops had been centred at Grenada. The
epidemic had also visited Leon, and the revolutionary army
suffered much from its attacks. The Costa Ricans kept up a
strict quarantine both by land and water. The best interests
of Nicaragua are represented as in a very perilous position.
The Accessory Transit Company had a party of armed men
at Castillo in order to watch Colonel Kinney s movements.
It was reported that Generals Gardiola and Lopez, with two
hundred men from
'Puatemala, had attacked Honduras, and
routed General Cabanas. It was also said that Colonel Kin-
ney had made au attack on Rivas. The revolutionists from
Leon had attacked Managua, but were repulsed. Greytown
(rebuilt) was looking well, and all the sufferers by the late
bombaNment, from the British Vice-Consul downwards, were
preparing to submit their claim for damages to Congress.
Colonel Walker had marched into Costa Rica, and, after
some negotiations, gave up his arms to the authorities, who
guaranteed him protection from the Nicaraguans. However,

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 10.—We have had increased supplies of
cattle at this day's market, with only a moderate attendance of
customers. Good beef was in fair demand, and a good clearance
effected, although prices rather favoured buyers. The mutton
trade was very slack, and sales could only be effected by submit-
ting to a decline of nearly 4d per lb. Beet, 63d to 62d per lb;
mutton. 6(1 to 64d. Cattle, 9,472; sheep, 15,652.

A FLOCK OF SHEEP, of precisely the same kind as those the park of Windsor, has just been placed in the in
upper part of
the park of St. Cloud.
AT a recent sale of the Marquis of Ete tud, Lord Londesborough purchased Stockwell, the winners of the St.
Leger, for 3,100 guineas ; at the same sale Nutwith was sold
for 1,600 guineas, and Ambrose for 790 guineas.
THE thrashing-machines are already merrily at work
amongst the new wheat. It may be easily accounted for. A
man of money may want straw or a man of straw may want
money, while some, wanting neither one nor the
other, may
deem it prudent, without exactly anticipating a fall in the
market, yet withal to realise at the present tempting prices.
THE MOORS AND Foansxs.—The moors continue to yield
fair sport. Blackgame have been less plentiful than could
have been wished, but several of these fine birds have been
struck down during the week. The weather has been in gen-
eral most propitious. The distinguished party at the Duke of
Richmond's shootings on the Black-water were out daring four
days. On Wednesday last, the Earl of March and the Earl of
Derby, after one, p.m., bagged eighteen and a half brace
of grouse, six blackcock, and two plover. The same two noble-
men bagged, on the following day, twenty-five and a half brace
of grouse and three hares. The party on the Carr-bridge
moors have had good sport since the season opened. Up to the
night of Thursday last, after only nine days' regular shooting,
it was found that the party, comprising five guns, had brought
down no fewer than 2,077 brace of grouse, besides blackgame,
snipes, hares, &e. In a season when grouse have been more
than usually scarce, this amount of success is quite extraordi-
nary, and we suspect is unequalled on any other moor in Scot-
land this year. From the Ross-shire moors we have very
favourable reports. Our correspondent says :—" The weather
in this country is still of the most favourable character for
grouse shooting. On Tuesday last, N. E. Vaughan, Esq., and
party, knocked over five roe-deer. On the following day the
same party had thirty-five brace of grouse, two and half of
blackgame, besides several hares. On the South Garve moor,
during the week, J. Edwards, Esq., killed ninety head of
game, comprising grouse, blackgame, hares, rabbits, &c'
Mr. Pryor and party still continue to get excellent sport.
On the. Strathvaugh grounds the party had in one day
lately upwards of forty brace. In Strathconnon Forest
J. La Touche, Esq., is still bringing down some excellent
stags. Among those killed by that gentleman lately
are two antlered monsters, whose huge dimensions out-
strip any we have heard of this season. One of these had
fifteen points, and weighed nineteen imperial stone! The
other had thirteen points, and weighed fifteen stone! Edward
Clough Taylor and friends are bagging from twenty-five to
fifty brace a day in Glen Orrin and Glendordie."—Banffehire
Journal.
HUTS Fon THE CRIMEA.—Some of the huts contracted for
by Messrs. Lucas, Brothers, Lowestoft, are now in course of
shipment for the Crimea, by the bark Barretto Junior, of
London. The huts for the soldiers, of which Messrs. Lucas
have provided 53, are designed to accommodate 22 men each,
and are 32 feet by 16 feet. The first operation in erecting
them will be to lay down cast-iron shoes, of which each hut
will require 14. Upon these shcies the sleepers which will re-
ceive the floor will be placed. The floor of each hut consists of
24 panels, 5 feet 4 inches by 4 feet each ; and the ends of five
panels each, with the door in the centre. The gables are two
panels in each, with a ventilator to each panel. The sides and
ends are bolted together with strong three-quarter inch
bolts. The roof is similarly constructed, and is in two thick-
nesses of three-quarter-inch parallel boarding, the outer being
of weather-board, with a layer of felt between. Each roof is
provided with two ventilators, and the windows, four in
number, are hung upon centres, and will also be available for
ventilation. The huts are so light that a man on each side
of one of them would be able to move it readily, and they will
be easily and rapidly erected, as a side panel will fit any part
of the side. The same is also the case with the floor, ends,
and roof ; but, to prevent the least confusion or mistake, every
panel, &e., is marked with initials referring to the purpose for
which it is intended. Messrs. Lucas have also constructed 12
portable huts for hospitals, each of them being designed to
accommodate 50 men. They have floors similar to the huts
already described, but the walls as well as the roofs are in two
thicknesses, with felt between, for the purpose of increasing
the warmth of the interiors. The walls consist of sills and
heads, with post-frames, forming bays and panels. In aali-
tion to these hospital huts the enterprising contractors have
also been engaged upon 30 officers' huts, 72 feet by 20 feet, and
designed to accommodate 16 persons each. The arrangements
of these huts are of course on a more extensive scale. 'Each
of them contains eight rooms, two transverse passages, with
several cross partitions running from end to end. Six corn-
missariat storehouses, each 76 feet by 20 feet, and 12 others,
40 feet by 20 feet, have also been constructed. These huts
required 32,000 bolts, and some idea may be formed of the
large quantity of material cut up, and the expedition with
which the work has proceeded, when it is stated that 53,000
superficial feet of deal have been daily " worked up."

British Library Heritage Made Digital Newspapers | The Liverpool Standard and General Commercial Advertiser. | Liverpool, Merseyside, England | 1855-09-11T00:00:00 | ARTICLE | 1,197 | 0.9831 | 0.0733 | COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE.
ONE of the chief reasons for which the privilege of
limited liability was accorded to joint-stock compa-
nies, was the facility which would be afforded to mer-
cantile adventure, and the impetus which would be
given to the employment of capital in opening up new
channels for traffic and developing resources for which
a certain amount of risk would necessarily be in-
curred. It does not appear, however, that very much
has yet been done to render the new law available ;
but this may be merely a question of time. Almost
the first announcement was a new warehouse com-
pany for the sale of manufactured goods, but as this
is a pursuit so efficiently carried out by private enter-
prise, there could not be much need of calling in the
aid of the new law for the purpose. "
It is well known that while the colonies of Aus-
tralia constitute the great source of our supply of
Foreign wool, the manufacturing towns of Yorkshire
are the chief markets for its consumption, and yet,
notwithstanding the fact that Liverpool enjoys greatly
the pre-eminence in shipping, for- speed, regularity,
and capability, and is at the same time much nearer
to the Yorkshire towns than London, the latter city
has by far the great bulk of the Australian Wool
Trade, the periodical sales reaching 80,000 bales,
whilst those in Liverpool rarely exceed 10,000 bales.
Indeed, so strong seems the current towards the Lon-
don market in preference to Liverpool, that thousands
of bales imported here from Australia are sent by rail-
way to London as the better market, to be again sent
a longer distance by railway to the Yorkshire mills.
It appears strange that, on a bulky commodity like
wool, the enormous expenses of transit for about five
hundred miles by railway should be voluntarily in-
curred, when the same goods, if sold in Liverpool,
might reach their destination in less than a hundred
miles ; and the fact itself suggests an advantage to be
gained_ which would not nnly arid mafp/4911y to 0,0
business of Liverpool, but, at the same time, afford
considerable advantages to the adventurers.
The anomaly to which we have referred can only be
attributed to the enterprise with which the London
merchants have, in a measure, forestalled the Aus-
tralian Wool Trade, and, by liberally embarking their
capital, secured thitigreater part of the business to
themselves ; so thanhe large quantities of wool they
have to offer at their periodical sales, by attracting
greater numbers of Yorkshire buyers, induces more
competition. The London men have not, however,
such magnificent vessels as those which sail from this
port, nor have they the same regularity as is here en-
joyed by means of the " White Star" line and the
"Black Ball" line, which perform their voyages to
and fro twice a month, with unrivalled speed, and
with almost the punctuality of a railway train ; whilst
the manufacturers, in addition to higher prices, have
to incur the additional expenses of the longer transit
by railway. If, therefore, Liverpool does not enjoy
the business in Australian wool which it is obviously
to the advantage of both importers and manufacturers
she should enjoy, because of being opposed by London
capital, the remedy is plain, and suggests itself as a
field for enterprise to which the energies of a com-
pany, on the principle of limited liability, might be
profitably directed.
For the operations of such a company to be-practi-
cally efficient, a capital should be raised sufficiently
ample to secure, by prompt payment, all the wool
available in Australia, and contracts for freight might
be entered into with the several lines of packet-ships
upon terms mutually advantageous, so as to secure
cargo for the vessels, and a regular supply of wool for
the Liverpool market. The abundance of supply
would induce a full attendance of buyers at the perio-
dical sales ; and, if the prices paid in London are
remunerative with so many additional charges, the
profits to importers in Liverpool must be still greater,
and at the same time more advantageous to the manu-
facturers.
Nor would the profits to the company, as importers,
prove the only benefit to the carrying out of the
enterprise, inasmuch as the trade of the port of Liver-
pool would be considerably augmented, in the increased
.receipts for Dock-rates, Town-dues, Brokers' commis-
sions, ships' freights, employment of porters, and other
items which make up the profits of a trading commu-
nity. Liverpool ought to enjoy the great bulk of the
business in Australian wool, of which she has been
deprived by the more liberal employment of London
capital; and the way is open, by using similar means,
which may, perhaps, best be effected by a company, as
the capital required would necessarily be large ; but
as so many parties would be interested in its success,
the inducements for the formation of it are so much
the greater.
India offers another capacious field for embarking
the capital of a joint-stock company, and rendering
the new law available for extending commercial enter-
prise. The vast resources of that immense empire are
capable of development to an almost indefinite extent ;
and though London has long enjoyed the largest share
of the• traffic, owing to the operations of the East
India Company, which was once a gigantic monopoly,
;here is no legitimate reason why Liverpool should
not partake of the benefits in a far greater degree than
she has yet done. There are many who look forward
to India as a source whence much of our future sup-
plies of cotton may have to be drawn, and whence also
we may at no distant time depend for tea, in addition
to various other commodities, which railway extension
'm that country will tend considerably to increase ;
whilst, as a market for our manufactures, Liverpool as
a place of export has unrivalled conveniences.
One of the most important means by which the
trade with India might be largely extended would be
the establishment of a line of packet-ships, which
should leave this port at stated intervals, with the
same regularity as do the lines of vessels to Austra-
lia, and possess similar advantages in capacity and
sailing qualities. Regularity in departure would do
much to ensure freight, while the same regularity in
the supply of the markets in India would tend to
improve the value of the trade, by removing a fertile
source of loss from alternate glut and scarcity. If
sufficient capital were devoted to the extension of the
trade with India, Liverpool would soon prove a far
more formidable rival to London, and full employment
be found not only for all the docks on the Lancashire
side of the Mersey, but also for the vast addition
which will shortly be made by the amalgamation of
the magnificent dock property which has just been
purchased at Birkenhead. The rise of Liverpool in
commercial importance has been signally rapid within
the last few years, but its future growth will be still
more so, if the suggestions which we have thrown out
should be put into practice.

The proceedings of this committee were read, and, after
some discussion, on the-motion of Mr. C. TURNSB, confirmed
COURTS OF LAW 1..,ND ST. GEORGE'S-HALL COMXIT,TRE..
The minutes of this committee included a resolution to
throw open St. George's-hall to the public daily, from ten to
four; and a letter from Mr. Best, accepting the office of
organist.
Mr. TIN-NE moved that the proceedings be confirmed. This
led to some observations from different members of the Coun-
cil generally, deprecatory of tho condition of the eastern ap-
proach ; but -,i3timately the proceedings were confirmed ; as
were also those of the Markets' Committee. The proceed-
ings of the. Health Committee were also confirmed, but not
without some discussion.
THE HEALTH AN,D DOCK COXMITTEES.
The Towrr-CLERK presented an elaborate report upon the
question at issue between the Health and Dock Committees,
with. reference to an alleged encroachment, by the latter, on
certain land of their own, in the neighbourhood of the Custom-_
house, which they had previously agreed to give up for the
purposes of the public street.
The proceedings of the Education, Gaol and House of Cor-
rection, Gardens, Church Expenditure, and Observatory Com-
mittees, were severally read and confirmed.
THE WATER COMMITTEE.
The proceedings of the Water Committee included an ela-
borate report from Mr. Duncan, the water-engineer, on the
subject of an additional supply of water from Green-lane,
which the committee had, at the last meeting of the Council,
been requested to consider. '[he report was to the effect that,
having regard to the altered circumstances of the case—to
the fact that the works which would make an additional sup-
ply from Green-lane available could not be completed until
the Ist of March—that the want of water was less felt in the
winter than in the summer months, and that there was every
reason to believe that the water from Rivington Pike would
be available by the Ist of April. The engineer could not take
the responsibility of recommending, at this moment, the addi-
tional expenditure which, in the then state of afl'airs, and
with the information then before him, he had suggested in
December, 1854. Upon this report the committee recom-
mended that the additional works in Green-lane be not now
constructed.
Mr. BENNETT gave many reasons, of a practical character,
for disbelieving that the Rivington Pike supply would be
available by the time stated, and believing it better not to run
any risk of a deficiency of water in the next summer, proposed
that the recommendation made by Mr. Duncan, in December,
1854, be forthwith carried out.
Mr. FERNIHOUGH seconded the motion.
Mr. WOODRUFF, a member, and Mr. HOLT, the chairman
of the committee, expressed their determination to vote for

a medical review of every form, cause, and cure of nervous
debility, loss of mental and physical capacity, whether resulting

with severe pains in the head and stomach, dizziness, weakness
in the eyes, and the usual other disagreeable accompaniments of
a disorganised system. She tried every known remedy, and lad
the best medical advice, but derived no benefit whatever. At last
she resolved to give ►-lolloway's Pills a trial, and after using them
for a short time she was restored to perfect health, which she
enjoys uninterruptedly to the present time.

THE EARL of ELLESMERE will be the Lord Lieutenant of
Lancashire, in the room of the late Earl of Sefton.
THE United States mail steamer Baltic sailed on Saturday
for New York, with 190 passengers, besides the mails and a
large cargo of goods. The list of passengers includes the
name of his Excellency Alfonso Escalenta, Ambassador Ex-
traordinary from Madrid to the Court of Washington.
MR. C. E. SMITH, sculptor, whose bust of the late Rev.
W. W. Ewbank recently claimed public attention, has just
completed a companion bust of the Rev. J. Macnaught, which
is esteemed an admirable likeness.
THERE have been several sudden deaths in Marseilles.
Among others, Mr. -Leigh, from Liverpool, who died after a
very few hours' indisposition, though assisted by the best
medical advice. His remains were interred in the Protestant
cemetery.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—About two O'clock on Thursday
morning, an aged woman, named Margaret Magee, fell from
her bedroom window, in No. 5 Court, Combermere-street,
Toxteth-park, and was found insensible a short time after-
wards by her son, who lives in the same court. She died at
half-past six o'clock.
NEW ACT ON COUNTY PALATINE OF LANCASTER
TRIALS.—An act was passed in the late session further to
assimilate the practice in the County Palatine of Lancaster to
that of other counties with respect to the trial of issues from
the superior courts at Westminster. Her Majesty is now em-
powtr3d to issue comm 'B ions, authorising the judges-to take
the assizes, juries, and•other matters, in the same manner as
in other countries.
THE WRECK OF THE REGULTJS.—Two flats and a sloop
were towed into the Mersey on Monday, laden with cargo
recovered from the Regulus, recently wrecked and still on
shore at the Skerries. The goods recovered comprise all the
bale case goods, besides a large quantity of weightier articles.
According to a notice posted in the underwriters' room, there
still remains 80 tons of cargO on board ; prompt measures,
however, were being taken to get this away.
THE MODEL OF SEBASTOPOL is still on view in the Queen's
Hall, Bold-street, and, considering the importance of the in-
telligence just received from the Crimea, its varied interest to
the spectator must be still further enhanced. This will be
obvious when it is remembered that Mr. Hough, immediately
on the arrival of important news, takes measures to adapt the
model to the existing state of affairs, so as to keep the specta-
tor au courant with the course of events.
The Daily News of Friday says :—" Mr. Scott Russell's
new steamer, now being built at Blackwall, is making great
progress. The frame is completed, and the work will be
finished within the next twelve months. When ready for sea
she will go to Liverpool, and sail regularly from that port, and
not, as stated, from Milford Haven ; for, although she cannot
enter any one of the Liverpool docks, she can, like the Collins
boats, anchor in the river."
POCHET-PICIZING.—Ann Phillips, a woman, and two boys
named Patrick Duffy and Robert Aland, were, on Saturday, at
the Police-court, charged with picking pockets. On Friday
afternoon one of the officials at the Tithebarn-street railway-
station observed the prisoners go up to a lady on the platform,
and while the woman engaged her attention, one of the boys
picked her pocket of a purse containing £1 Is. 6d. He im-
mediately took them in charge, and on searching the boy he
found the purse. They were committed for trial.
BURGLARY.—WiIIiam Prendergast, Peter Cameron, and
Patrick Ullathorne, were, on Saturday, charged with breaking
into the shop of Mr. Bacon, Dublin-street, and stealing three
diamond pins, a large quantity of copper nails, and a coat. On
Friday night the three prisoners were seen loitering near the
shop, where they were noticed at various periods during the
evening by a polite-officer, who ultimately went towards them,
when they took to their heels. He succeeded in capturing
Cameron and Ullathorne ; and Prendergast was apprehended
the same night with the nails and diamonds in his possession.
Nothing was found on the other prisoners. It appeared that
the shop door had been forced open by means of an iron bar.
Prendergast was committed for trial; the other prisoners were
remanded for a week
LECTURE AT ST. MARY'S SCHOOL, KIRKDA.LE..-011 Fri-
day, Gregory M. Wortabet, Esq., delivered a most interesting
and eloquent lecture on the Influence of the Bible, in St.
Mary's School, Kirkdale, which was listened to with the
greatest attention and delight, and at the close of it the au-
dience expressed their satisfaction by a very warm response and
a vote of thanks. The same gentleman has very handsomely
offered to lecture again, in the same place, on Friday next, at.
half-past 7 o'clock, in aid of liquidating the debt for the repairs
of the church, when it is hoped that the lecturer will have as
numerous an assemblage as his eloquence and earnestness in
the cause of truth so richly deserves. The chair was takert by
the Rev. T. Major Lester, incumbent, and•on the platform %fere
the Rev. V. Sheldon, incumbent of St. Matthias', Rev. J. Gil-
mour, minister of Christ Church, and Rev. W. A. Tattersall,
curate of Walton, all of whom took part in the proceedings.
SAILING OP THE GREAT BRITAIN.—On Tuesday, Messrs.
Gibbs, Bright, and Co.'s screw steam-ship the Great Britain,
Lieut. Chapman Wise, R.N., Admiralty agent, in charge, left
her moorings in the Sloyne, and proceeded to , sea. This
"leviathan" of the deep has on board a very precious freight—
upwards of 1,000 souls. She has taken out 600 tons of pro-
jectiles-5,803 shells—besides 35 huts, 22 horses, 44 officers,
and 881 rank and file, made up from detachments of the 4tia,
sth, and 6th Dragoon Guards ; the .Bth and 11th Hussars ;
2nd Dragoons, 4th and 13th Light Dragoons ; 17th Lancers 3
Grenadier Guards, 9th, 17th, 79th, 92nd, and 94th regiments
of the line. Captain Bruce, of the 94th regiment, is the com-
manding officer. The Great Britain will call at Gibraltar to
land six officers and 214 men of the 94th and the other line

IMPORTS OP PALM OLL.—The difference of opinion which
has been noticed in our columns on the subject of palm oil has
induced us to procure an official account of the quantity im-
ported into Liverpool. We have to state, in consequence, that
we have been informed by authority that the quantity of palm
oil imported into Liverpool from the 6th of January to the 31st
of July, inclusive, was .290,353 cwts., or 14,017 tons. The
Liverpool Brokers' Circular, to which we referred on the •18th
instant, stated the quantity imported between the Ist of
January and the 31st of July at 18,580 tons— a difference of
4,063 tons ; but some allowance is to be made for the longer
period of five days' importations included in the circular. Our
correspondent stated the quantity imported to the same period
at 18,900 tons, and neither is in accordance with the official
account. The discrepancy deserves notice as a convincing
proof that either, the merchants' and brokers' statemeats, or
the official accounts, are incorrect. We cann believe in the
inaccuracy of the latter, and the discrepancy; Therefore, serves
to throw discredit on many mercantile statements.—

Mn. OLIVER'S AFFAIRS.—A hearing took place on Wed-
nesday, before Mr. Commissioner Stevenson, in regard to the
adjudication of bankruptcy in this .case.—Mr. Lowndes, solici-
tor for the bankrupt, was examined as attorney for the trus-
tees, and produced duplicates of the deed of assignment, one
signed and sealed, the other signed merely, the latter being
called an instrument, executed by Mr. Oliver on the .7th
October, and by the trustees on the 16th. He could not tell
the number of signatures to•the deeds, but he said they had
been signed by 6-7ths of the•creditors. Notice was given of
the day on which the deed would be signed by advertisement
in the London Gazette, and a month after its execution it
had also been advertised in the Times and in the Liverpool
Mercury. As far as the witness knew, the schedule of the
creditors comprised all the debts of Mr. Oliver. The judge at
the recent assize ruled that the deed was good, but reserved
the point for Mr. Watson. In reply to Mr. Aspinall, who
supported the petition, Mr. Lowndes said he did not know
whether. any of the signatures had been put to the docu-
ments since the certificate. He believed about eighteen
creditors had signed both documents.; but he could give no
idea as to how many signatures there were to each of
the deeds. William Jones, clerk to Mr. Evans, said he
bad counted the signatures.; there were 161 to the
deed, and only 153 to the instrument. He had also
counted the list of creditor€ of Mr. Oliver, appended
to•the certificate, from £lO and upwards, and found there
were 222 above £lO, and 400 at £lO. The petition for setting
aside the adjudication, presented on the 12th October by Mr.
Samson, was then read, under an objection from Mr. Quaine,
who.opposed the adjudication. Edward Wynn, clerk to Mr.
Oliver, was next examined, chiefly with respect to the signa-
tures to the deed. He describedthem all as genuine, and went
through them seriatim. They included amongst others the
names of R. W. Preston and Co. ; Orerend, Gurney, and Co. ;
Royal British Banking Co.;• Northern Bank ; Kirk and Fur-
ness ; J. ,de Wolff and Co. ; Cunard, Munn, and Co.; Penile
Brothers:; James Baines and C 0...; Henry Moore and
littledale and Bardswell ; iand Garnett, Bibby,
and Co. The hearing was adjourned at this point until
Thursday., On Thursday,Mr. Bardswell, who represented the
bankrupt, stated that so conflicting and contradictory were
the statements which had been published with :regard to the
proceedings of the previous day, and so opposite to the real
facts of the ease, that he felt it to be his duty to his client to
apply for a private examination.—His honour observed that
the sittings were at first private, but there was so much of
public interest and importance attached to the ease, that the
courts were afterwards opened. Mr. Bardswell, however,
having made an application for a private hearing, it should be
granted.—[We understand that the point in dispute is settled.
The petition is withdrawn, and Mr. Oliver is not a bankrupt.;
AN ETPLICIT ADDRESS.—One day last week a letter
passed the Hereford post-office with the following singular
address :—" For that girl I don't no her name they cals `the
galoper' and lives somewhere in Bowsey-lane Hereford Here-
fordshire. Shurs don't give this to any girl but that girl."
The letter reached its destination, the fair one for whom it was
intended:being known by this soubriquet to the police.
ON Monday, after an existence of many centuries, the once
renowned fair of St. Bartholomew expired. No proclamation
took place, nor was the ancient court of pied poudre for the
hearing and determining disputes arising in the fair held; the
"Saints' Bell," in Old St. Bartholomew's Church, which has
for time immemorial sounded only on the proclamation of the
fair, was silent, and its occupation is now gone.
CURIOSITIES OF LIFE ASSURANCE.—A correspondent of
a contemporary says :—We have a company professing so
high an idea of homoeopathic principles, that it stipulates, pro-
vided the assured be treated homoeopathically, that fine per
cent. be deducted from the premiums. There is Jso a com-
pany where parties attending to assure their liv have the
advantage of a reading room and refreshments—an excellent
arrangement, for after sandwiches and sherry one feels less
inclined to dispute the rate of premium, even if it be a little
high.
MR. BETTS, of the firm of Peto, Brassy, and Betts, states
respecting the Crimea, that since the formation of the line it
has been doubled, and is now being effectually drained and
ballasted for the winter work. General Simpson, in reply to
Lord Panmure's inquiries as to the condition of the line on
the 19th ult., states':—" The present railway is 'on the best
site that can be obtained, and when effectually drained and
ballasted. which is being done, will be quite free from floods."
Lord Panmure has sent out 150 more carriages, to replace
those which have-been in constant work, as they require it
from time to time.
RAILWAY CAPITAL.—It appears from a return recently
issued that the 103 bills promoted by railway companies in the
late session of Parliament were for raising £21,605,796, in-
chiding £5,048,288 on loan; but only 77 of them received the
Royal Assent, authorising the raising of £15,851,486, of which
£4,504,938 is to be raised on loan. In the session of 1854 it
was proposed to raise £28,919,551 for railway purposes, but
Parliament granted powers to raise £14,096,234, including
£3,320,159 on loan. In the session of 1863, powers were
sought to raise £38,493,119 by various railway bills, but only
£19,131,674 of that amount was authorised to be raised, in-
chiding £4,223,398 on loan ; and in the session of 1852 powers
were sought by railway companies to raise £14,714,635, but
only £8,471,687 of that amount was authorised to be raised.
Powers were sought by railway companies in the four sessions
above mentioned to raise in the aggregate £101,733,081, but
of this amount £57,551,081 was authorised to be raised, being
not much more than half the amount for which powers were
sought.
STATISTICS OP IcE.—lt is just fifty years since the idea of
dispensing ice to the southern latitudes entered the brain of a
Boston merchant, Mr. Tudor. It was a thoroughly worthy
notion of a solid man of that city of notions. For twenty
years considerable disappointment, with various success, at-
tended his efforts, but ultimately his persistency and activity
furnished the southern States and the West Indies with the
frozen delicacy, and a lucrative business opened up. In 1834
the East Indies and Brazil became his business clients. Other
large hOnses engaged in the ice farming in Massachusetts and
New York, and at present the value of the ice farms of these
States-fully equals, if it does not exceed, the value of the rice
crop of Georgia. Boston chiefly supplies the southern parts
with ice, and in its ice-horse there were 300,000 tons stored
last year. In New York nearly the entire crop of ice is used I.
at home. In Boston there are between 2,000 and 3,000 per-
sons employed in the business season. In New York the
amount is less, as the exportation is little. About 9,000 per-
sons are employed in the entire States by ice, and it is com-
puted that a_capital of over $6,000,000 is invested in it.—
New York Daily Times.
FARMERS AND THEIR SERVANTS.—A case of some im-
portance to agriculturists and others engaging servants was
tried at the Bridport and Beaminster Division Petty Sessions,
held at Beaminster on Monday last week. The party sum-
moned in this case was Frederick Clarke, charged with leaving
the service of Mr. Richard Garland, of Hyde Farm, near Brid-
port. The defendant was a hardy lad, apparently about 16
years old, and had worked for the plaintiff some years. On
the 11th of August he left the service of Mr. Garland, without
notice, and on the following Monday was engaged by another
farmer. Being in the midst of harvest, the lad's service was
valuable, and he therefore summoned him. Mr. Garland
admitted that when he engaged him he took him as a weekly
servant, and agreed to pay him so much a week ; he had not
considered it necessary to tell him that he should expect a
week's notice on his leaving, as he thought that both master
and man were legally compelled to give and receive a week's
notice. The bench, however, decided that the lad completed
his contract every Saturday night, and his employer could not
compel him to return on the Monday. On the other hand,
the farmer may summarily dismiss the man on the Monday
morning without notice, and without there being any claim on
him for compensation. If, however, there be a boniifide agree-
ment to give and receive a week's notice, that is a contract of
another nature. The case, therefore, was dismissed.
THE NEW GOVERNOR or ADELAIDE.—The most interest-
ing event that has lately transpired in this colony during the
last three weeks has been the arrival of his Excellency Sir
Richard Graves M`Donnell, our newly-appointed governor.
We announced in our last summary that Mr. Beresford, his
excellency's private secretary, had arrived, with his family, in
the John Banks, direct from England, and that Sir Richard
had reached Melbourne in the mail packet Blue Jacket, and
was daily expected in Adelaide. His Excellency, embarked
for Port Adelaide on board the screw steamer Burra Burra,
on the 19th of May. The unusually long time that elapsed
without any tidings of this vessel tended to create considerable
uneasiness as to its safety, the more so as it was known that
gales, equal if not greater in violence than any ever known
before on the coast, had been blowing continuously for several
days. On Thursday, June 7, however, the signal for a steamer
in sight was hoisted at the signal station, and great was the
general joy in the city when, in a short time, the vessel was
eiearly made out to be the Burra Burra. She reached the
port about sunset, and came to anchor amid the cheers and
rejoicings of the inhabitants there. Her long passage had
been owing, as was expected, to the boisterous weather en-
countered, especially on the South Australian coast. On the
25th of May she was off the sea mouth of the Murray, when,
a slight accident happening to her machinery, and being short
of fuel, she bore up under canvass for Portland, which port
was reached on the 2d of June. A fresh supply of coals was
laid in there, and she left on the 4th of June, reaching Port
Adelaide, as before stated, on the 7th of June. Sir Richard
M`Donnell remained on board all night. On the following
morning he landed, when he met with a hearty reception,
and was afterwards installed in due form.—South Australian
Register of June 23.
AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.—The select committee of the
Lords, to inquire into the best mode of obtaining accurate
agricultural statistics from all parts of the kingdom, have re-
ported that, in consequence of the want of these statistics,
great inconvenience and injury has been sustained by all
.classes, because we have never known what quantity of foreign
grain we should annually require for home consumption.
France, Holland, Belgium, and the United States, had more
or less perfectly organised systems for obtaining this informa-
tion; and, from time to time, such statistics had been col-
lected from some of the English counties, successfully, by the
inspectors of the Poor-law Board. As regards England and
Wales, the committee recommended that the officers of the
various unions should be employed, once a year, to deliver and
collect schedules, in which should be enumerated the average
under each description of crop, an accurate return of stock
(cattle), and an approximate estimate of the produce of the
harvest. The schedules having been collected, it is proposed
that they should be classified by each union, and returned to
the Poor-law Board, for a national table to be compiled from
them. With regard to Scotland, it is proposed to leave the
matter entirely in the hands of the Highland Society, as here-
tofore; and, in Ireland, the existing machinery of the con-
stabulary, under the superintendence of the Irish Registrar-
General, is recommended to remain in force. A bill to em-
power these recommendations to be carried out is proposed to
be introduced into parliament during the ensuing session.
THE TICHBORNE DOLE.—The family of Tiehborne date
their possession of the present patrimony, the manor of Tich-
borne, so far back as 200 years before the Conquest. When
the Lady Mabella, worn out with age and infirmity, was lying
on her deathbed, she besought her loving husband, as her last
request, that he would grant her the means of leaving behind
her a charitable bequest, in a dole of bread to be distributed
to all who should apply for it annually on the Feast of the
Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Sir Roger, her
husband, readily acceded to the request, by promising the pro-
duce of as much land as she could go over in the vicinity of
the park while a certain brand or billet was burning, sup-
posing that, from her long infirmity (for she had been bed-
ridden some years), she would be able to go round a sma`
portion only of his'Property. The venerable dame, however,
ordered her attendants to convey her to the corner of the park,
where, being deposited on the ground, she seemed to receive a
renovation of strength, and, to the surprise of her anxious and
admiring lord, who began to wonder where this pilgrimage
might end, she crawled round several rich and goodly acres.
The field which was the scene of Lady Mabella's extra-
ordinary feat retains the name-of "Crawls" to this day.
It is situated near the entrance of the park, and contains
an area of 23 acres. Her task being completed, she was
reconveyed to her chamber, and, summoning her family
to her bedside, predicted its prosperity while the annual dole
existed, and left her malediction on any of her descendants
who sh-ould ever be so mean or covetous as to discontinue or
divert it, prophesying that when such should happen the old
house would fall and the family name would become extinct
from the failure of heirs male, and that this would be foretold
by a generation of seven sons being followed immediately
after by a generation of seven daughters and no son. The
custom thus founded in the reign of Henry 11., continued to
be observed for centuries; and the 25th of March became the
annual festive day of the family. It was not until the middle
of the last century that the custom was abused ; when, under
pretence of attending Tichborne Dole, vagabonds, gipsies, and
idlers of every description assembled from all quarters, pilfer-
ing throughout the neighbourhood ; and, at last, the gentry
and magistrates complaining, it was discontinued in 1796.
Singularly enough, the baronet of the day had seven sons ;
and, when he was succeeded by the eldest, there appeared a
generation of seven daughters, and the apparent fulfiment of
the prophecy was completed by the change of the name of the
late baronet to Doughty, under the will of his kinswoman.—
Winchester Observer. - •
SIR JAMEI GBAJIAM.-Sir James Graham is neither more
nor less than a political infidel. The apostle of inconsistency,
he wants the only quality which can redeem that creed. Un-
like Canning or Peel—who although inconsistent were yet
great—it is impossible to detect in the long career of Graham
that element of real consistency which characterises a true
statesman. No man can fail to discern the noble sympathies
of Canning, even when he was following the chariot-wheels of
Eldon, or to recognise Peel's principles of free-trade in his
very measures to secure protection. Without the dignity of
character or the scope of mind to originate a policy, Sir James
Graham has been by turns everything, according to the
humour of the chief whom for the moment he was content to
follow. His is not the mind to be possessed by a great idea,
the wisdom of which, if he could only see it realised, he would
willingly consent that the future should vindicate. No; Sir
James Graham is a statesman without a policy, and, like the
shallow stock jobber in Capel-court, his judgment is ruled by
the rumour of the hour. With a base passion for power,
heightened by a singular talent for administration (for all
men delighb to do that which they do well), conjoined with a
mischievous indiscretion in the exercise of power more worthy
of a schoolboy than a statesman, he is continually bringing
unpopularity on himself and confusion on his colleagues.
With a fixed determination to defend every act of his ad-
ministration, and to crush, if possible, any individual who
attempts to question it, he indulges in a boldness of assertion,
which, though it would be admirable on the stage, becomes
loathsome in the House of Commons. Let not Sir James
suppose that his assertions as to the blockade of the Black
Sea and the death pf Captain Christie are yet forgoten.-.

Two unlicensed stockbrokers at Paris have been sentenced
to two years' imprisonment for swindling and betting upon
the public funds.
NEW ACT ON WEDDING RINGS.—Among the acts of the
late session was one to except gold wedding rings from the
operation of the former act relating to the standard and silver
wares, and from the exemptions contained in the acts relating.
to gold wares. Wedding rings are now required to be assayed
and marked.
THE VINE DISEASE.—From Oporto, under date of the
30th ult., we learn that the vine disease has made rapid pro-
gress, and in the Douro it was becoming as destructive as last
year. It is expected that about the same quantity of wine
will be made ; but, as the vintage will be a very late one, the
quality will depend upon the state of the weather.
A HALE CENTENARIAN.--George Stephenson has just died
at Romaldkirk, near Barnard Castle, aged 105 years. He was
an agricultural labourer, and famed as an early riser. He
used, it is said, frequently to reprove his daughter and her
husband, both of whom are upwards of 70 years, for indulging
in bed so long in the mornings, though they invariably rose
before 6 o'clock, telling them, if they would not work when
young, what-would they do when old !
ONE of the minor curiosities of Paris is the enormous vine
which ornaments the court of a house in the Rue des Marais
St. Germain. It is said to have been planted by Racine; and,
supposing that he did it in bhe last year of his life, the vine
must now be not less than 156 years of age, as that celebrated
writer died in 1699. It is this year in an unusually flourishing
condition, and covered with fine fruit.
A NUMEROUS GANG of the London swell mob have made
their appearance in Constantinople. They came from London,
and finding an open field for their exploits, set to in earnest,
robbing and swindling officers and sailors indiscriminately.
Twelve vagabonds have been taken up, thanks to the active
exertions of Major Hackett; and the rest, supposed to be 70
in all, have dispersed, or are concealed. The culprits in
custody are in irons, and will be sent to Multa for trial.
SUICIDE IN A RAILWAY TRAIN.—On Thursday morning,
a son of Dr. Payne, of Nottingham, committed' suicide in a
railway carriage, between Nottingham and Derby. He had
taken a black silk handkerchief from his neck, and suspended
himself from the ventilator at the top of the carriage-door.
He had also taken off his shoes, and turned his trousers up
to the knees. He was immediately cut down, and although
life was apparently not extinct, he was beyond hope of
recovery.
WEANING BY ELECTRICITY.—An invention that promises
to create a revolution in the manufacture of silks, linens,
cottons--in fact of all woven articles—has just been perfected
here, and a specimen is now on its way to the Paris exhibition.
This is the electric loom, invented by Cavaliere Bonelli, in-
spector of telegraphs in the Sardinian States. Some time
since I noticed to you his application of electricity to the
jacquard loom, whereby he was enabled to dispense with cards,
and much of the manipulation necessary for the old system of
weaving; but in the more perfected specimen now about to be
exhibited, the inventor has added steam power to supersede
manual labour, so that one intelligent workman may attend to
many machines at the same time, and the operation of making
all kinds of patterns will be as easy, cheap, and expeditious, as
printing and knitting in different patterns is also performed
with similar instruments.— Turin correspondent of the
Times.
THE ABORIGNIES OF AUSTRALIA.—The last report of the
Protector of the Aborignies has recently been published, but
beyond testifying to the rapidly diminishing numbers of the
native tribes, it claims little of an interesting character. The
Adelaide tribe have returned to their winter quarters in and
about town, occupying themselves by day in begging food and
clothing, and by night in holding corobbories by their wurley
fires. Archdeacon Hale, with unwearied perseverance, con-
tinues his efforts at Port Lincoln, and speaks hopefully of the
indications of some of his pupils. But the steady diappear-
ance of the natives is what every report on their condition
most uniformly points to, although everything is done that
could promise to alleviate the discomforts of their condition.
—Adelaide Register.
TICKET OF LEAVE CoNvrcrs.—On Saturday a Return
was issued which states that the Secretary of State is not in
possession of any sufficient information to enable him to state
the number of convicts with tickets of leave who are known
to be now in employment or conducting themselves properly.
It may, however, be stated that of 960 convicts released during
the year ended 30th June last, 690 have made application at
the end of the stipulated interval of three months after their
discharge for the balance of the gratuity returned on their
release, in accordance with the regulations, and that 684 of
the number produced satisfactory testimonials of their goad
conduct. Of the 270 who have not applied, the greater
portion have not been at large the regulated period. Ninety-
seven convicts who have received tickets of leave have been
re-convicted of various crimes.
EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.— On Mondaya singular circum-
stance happened to Thomas Malkin, while travelling by the
7 a.m. train from Hull to Sheffield. As the train was proceed-
ing at a rapid rate between Kiveton-park and Woodhouse
Junction, near to Aston colliery, Malkin, while leaning over
the carriage door, found it giving way. He grasped the door,
in his effort to save himself, but it swung open, and he was
thrown with great force upon the opposite embankment.
When the train arrived at the Victoria station information of
the accident was given to Mr. Ward, the manager, and he
immediately proceeded with a carriage and engine to the spot.
On arriving at the Woodhouse viaduct he met the man walk-
ing along the line. He was taken into the carriage, and it
was found that he had sustained no injury beyond a severe
shock and a few slight bruises on his hands, back, and head.—
Sheffield Iris.
COLLISION AT SEA.—On Sunday morning the schooner
Snowdrop, of Sunderland, Captain Adamson, while on her
voyage down to Sunderland, timber laden, came into collision
with the Charles of Lyme, three miles off Whitby. The
Charles was seen at some distance by the crew of the Snow-
drop, the wind blowing fresh at the time, and every effort
was made to avoid her, but all their endeavours failed to
avoid a collision. The vessels soon cleared each other, but
for some time the Snowdrop was unmanageable, in conse-
quence.

looking for the Charles, it was found she had sunk, upon
which the schooner's boat was instantly put out, and exer-
tions made to save the crew, but only one man was found
above water, the remainder of the hands, five in number,
having perished. The Snowdrop has since arrived in Sunder-
land, with the solitary survivor of the ill-fated Charles on
board.
PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROM SHIPWRECK.—On Thurs-
day, a meeting of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution
was held at its offices, John-street, Adelphi, London, Captain
Lambert Perrott in the chair. Mr. Lewis, the secretary,
having read the minutes of the previous meeting, the silver
medal of the institution was voted respectively to Mrs. Gil-
braith and to Mr. William Rae, in testimony of their humane
and gallant services to one out of three persons who were
upset in a small punt near Whitburn, on the Durham coast, on
the 6th ult. Rae was in the boat with the three men when
the accident happened, and had almost succeeded in swimming

voted to the crew of the same lifeboat for puttingoff to render aid
to the crew of the sloop Ann Susannah, of Bangor, which became
also a total wreck near the same dangerous locality. As in the
previous instance, the wreck's crew of four men had succeeded
in landing before the arrival of the lifeboat. A reward of
£1 12s. was voted to the boat's crew for rescuing four persons
from a boat which had capsized in Redwharf Bay, on the
Anglesea coast. The crew of the upset boat were seen
clinging to her in an exhausted state when rescued from a
watery grave. One of them had lost his hold, and was being
drawn away with the tide, when help was given him. Two
poor Irishmen, who, with the promptitude and humanity
which always characterise this class of the Irish people,
put off in their curraghs to the rescue of the master of a
smack thrown out of his vessel near Foy Island, on the coast
of Donegal, received £2. A reward of £9 was voted
to a smack's crew for saving two of the crew of
the emigrant ship John Bright, who had been capsized
from a boat when that vessel struck on Arklow Banks,
on the 24th ult. A communication was read from
Count Walewski, stating that the attention of the French go-
vernment would be directed to the various models of lifeboats,
&c., exhibited by the institution at the Paris Exhibition.
Captain Robertson, R.N., of the Board of Trade, has recently
visited some of the lifeboats of the institution, and has re-
ported very favourably of their efficiency. It appeared that
the society has now a class of lifeboat—after Mr. Peake's de-
sign—that admirably answers every purpose for which a life-
boat can be required. A strong appeal was made for pecu-
niary aid to enable the institution to increase the number of
of its lifeboats on dangerous points of the coast. The pro-
ceedings then closed.
HORRIBLE OCCURRENCE NEAR BA T yr.—ATTEMPTED PAR-

eCmvieearmaullbedesroslses of arsenic administered to him, with
a view to his murder, by his only son, Thomas Fulton, a young
man of between 24 and 26 years of age. Mr. Fulton did not
reside upon his business premises at Bath, but occupied a
country residence called Lambridge. His family consisted of
his wife, some daughters, and the son, Mr. Thomas Fulton.
The latter was a young man of extravagant and somewhat
dissolute habits, but he was indulgently treated by his father
and all the family. Little doubt, therefore, is entertained that
his object was to destroy his father's life in order to possess
himself of the property wherewith to sustain his extravagant
habits. For some weeks past, Mr. Fulton, sen., had been
attacked at intervals with violent pains, which symptoms came
on generally after meals. Medical aid was from time to time
procured, and the malady succumbed to the treatment em-
ployed, but the symptoms, nevertheless, caused great uneasi-
ness to be felt by all the members of the family. On Sunday,
the 19th ult., Mr. Fulton had a very violent attack, which, it
is now remembered, came on shortly after his drinking a glass
of beer, which was handed to him by his son. Mr. Harris,
surgeon, was sent for, and prescribed for the symptoms which
he found, and under his treatment the unfortunate gentleman
got better, and was sufficiently recovered by the 27th to be
able to go into Bath to his place of business. Upon going
home again in the evening he felt weak and exhausted, and
fanciful as regarded his appetite, and he requested that he
might have some fried potatoes and a thin rasher or two of
bacon prepared for him. The meat was served up, and Mr.
Fulton, after eating a portion of it, complained of tasting in
his mouth the same metallic coppery taste which he had ob-
served on former occasions. This was at first ascribed to
fancy, but in a few minutes he was seized with pains as be-
fore. Mr. Harris was again called in, and his suspicions be-
coming excited, inquiries were instituted, and it was dis-
covered that when the fried potatoes were being prepared,
Mr. Thomas Fulton entered the kitchen, and under pretence
of being anxious to prevent delay, volunteered to cut up some
of the potatoes ; that after his father's sickness came on, he
took the plate of potatoes which remained into the garden,
where he must have contrived to throw them away, as the
empty plate was afterwards found on a table in the study, and
that he was observed a'so to pour water into the frying Tan,
which he placed over the fire to boil, and afterwards emptied
the water away. The circumstances increasing the sus-
picion against him, and leaving little doubt that he had con-
trived to mix some poisonous substance with the potatoes, a
portion of the contents, of the stomach, and subsequently the
frying-pan, were sent to Mr. Herapath, the well-known ana-
lytical chemist, of Bristol, who succeeded in producing arsenic
from both. Finding that his diabolical attempt at parricide
had been detected, young Fulton fled from his home,
and has
not since been heard of. A warrant has, however, been issued
for his arrest, and a description of his person telegraphed to
diifereptthe police-stations,
THE New York Herald estimates 168,600,000 bushels Of
wheat as the total yield of the present season in America,
which is 68,000 bushels over that of 1864.
A FLOCK or SHEEP, of precisely the same kind as those in
the park of Windsor, has just been placed in the upper part of

AT a recent sale of the Marquis of Exeter's stud, Lord
Londesborough purchased Stockwell, the winner of the St.
Leger, for 3,100 guineas ; at the same sale Nutwith was sold
for 1,600 guineas, and Ambrose for 790 guineas.
THE thrashing-machines are already merrily at work
amongst the new wheat. It may be easily accounted for. A
man of money may want straw or a man of straw.may want
money, while some, wanting neither one nor the other, may
deem it prudent, without exactly anticipating a fall in the
market, yet withal to realise at the present tempting prices.
TEE Moons AND FORESTS.—The moors continue to yield
fair sport. Blackgame have been less plentiful than could
have been wished, but several of these fine birds have been
struck down during the week. The weather has been in gen-
eral most propitious. The distinguished party at the Duke of
Richmond's shootings on the Blackwater were out during four
days. On Wednesday last, the Earl of March and the Earl of
Derby, after one, p.m., bagged eighteen and a half brace
of grouse, six blackcock, and two plover. The same two noble-
men bagged, on the following day, twenty-five and a half brace
of grouse and three hares. The party on the Carr-bridge
moors have had good sport since the season opened. Up to the
night of Thursday last, after only nine days' regular shooting.,
it was found that the party, comprising five guns, had brought
down no fewer than 2,077 brace of grouse, besides blackgame,
snipes, hares, &c. In a season when grouse have been more
than usually scarce, this amount of success is quite extraordi-
nary, and we suspect is unequatled on any other moor in Scot-
land this year. From the Ross-shire moors we have very
favourable reports. Our correspondent says :—" The weather
in this country is still of the most favourable character for
grouse shooting. On Tuesday last, N. E. Vaughan, Esq., and
party, knocked over five roe-deer. On the following day the
same party had thirty-five brace of grouse, two and half of
blackgame, besides several hares. On the South Garve moor,
during the week, J. Edwards, Esq., killed ninety head of
game, comprising grouse, blackgame, hares, rabbits, &c*
Mr. Pryor and party still continue to get excellent sport.
On the Strathvaugh grounds the party had in one day
lately upwards of forty brace. In Strathconnon Forest
J. La Touche, Esq., is still bringing down some excellent
stags. Among those killed by that gentleman lately
are two antlered monsters, whose huge dimensions out-
strip any we have heard of this season. One of these had
fifteen points, and weighed nineteen imperial stone ! The
other had thirteen points, and weighed fifteen stone! Edward
Clough Tay/or and friends are bagging from twenty-five to
fifty brace a day in Glen Orrin and Glendordie."—Banifshire
Journal.
HUTS FOR THE CRIMEA.—Some of the huts contracted for
by Messrs. Lucas, Brothers, Lowestoft, are now in course of
shipment for the Crimea, by the bark Barretto Junior, of
London. The huts for he soldiers, of which Messrs. Lucas
have provided 53, are designed to accommodate 22 men each,
and are 32 feet by 16 feet. The first operation in erecting
them will be to lay down cast-iron shoes, of which each hut
will require 14. Upon these shoes the sleepers which will re-
ceive the floor will be placed. The floor of each hut consists of
24 panels, 5 feet 4 inches by 4 feet each ; and the ends of five
panels each, with the door in the centre. The gables are two
panels in each, with a ventilator to each panel. The sides and
ends are bolted together with strong three-quarter inch
bolts. The roof is similarly constructed, and is in two thick-
nesses of three-quarter-inch parallel boarding, the outer being
of weather-board, with a layer of felt between. Each roof is
provided with two ventilators, and the windows, four in
number, are hung upon centres, and will also be available for
ventilation. The huts are so light that a man on each side
of one of them would be able to move it readily, and they will
be easily and rapidly erected, as a side panel will fit any part
of the side. The same is also the case with the floor, ends,
and roof ; but, to prevent the least confusion or mistake, every
panel, &c., is marked with initials referring to the purpose for
which it is intended. Messrs. Lucas have also constructed 12
portable huts for hospitals, each of them being designed to
accommodate 50 men. They have floors similar to the huts
&ready described, but the walls as well as the roofs are in two
thicknesses, with felt between, for the purpose of increasing
the warmth of the interiors. The walls consist of sills and
heads, with post-frames, forming bays and panels. In addi-
tion to these hospital huts the enterprising contractors have
also been engaged upon 30 officers' huts, 72 feet by 20 feet, and
designed to accommodate 16 persons each. The arrangements
of these huts are of course on a more extensive scale. Each
of them contains eight rooms, two transverse passages, with
several cross partitions running from end to end. Six com-
missariat storehouses, each 76 feet by 20 feet, and 12 others,
40 feet by 20 feet, have also been constructed. These huts
required 32,000 bolts, and some idea may be formed of the
large quantity of material cut up, and the expedition with
which the work has proceeded, when it is stated that 53,000
superficial feet of deal have been daily " worked up."

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—Miss Sarah Hargraves, of 3, Hewson-
street, Carlisle, states in a letter to Professor Holloway, dated
September 10, 1833, that she was afflicted for a number of years
with severe pains in the head and stomaeh, dizziness, weakness
in the eyes, and the usual other disagreeable accompaniments of
a disorganised system. She tried every known remedy, and had
the best medical advice, but derived no benefit whatever. At last
she resolved to give Holloway's Pills-a trial, and after using them
for a short time she was restored to perfect health, which she
enjoys uninterruptedly to the present time..

There is nothing of interest from the Sandwich Islands.
The King has dissolved the legislature. The appropriation
bill voted by the house exceeded the revenue about $200,000,
and the King refused to sanction direct taxation to make up
the deficit. He has ordered a new election, and parliament
was called to meet at Honolulu on the 30th of July.
From Jamaica we have advices to the 14th August. A
serious riot had occurred in Kingston, between the negro
soldiers stationed in the barracks, and the people and police.
The soldiers had assaulted the citizens wantonly. Trade was
inactive.
The State of Panama had imposed a duty of 50 cents. per

Dates to the 11th of June had been received from the

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, 28th Aug.
MONEY still continued abundant, and confidence in every
department of commerce and finance was steadily gaining
ground. Exchange was firm at the following quotations :
London, 109 i, 110, to 1101; Paris, 5.121 to 5.111; Amster-
dam, 411 to 412 ; Bremen, 791 to 79i ; Hamburg, 361 to 361;
Antwerp, 5.15 to 5.121.
COTTON.—The business in the cotton market, says Mr. W.
P. Wright in his circular, dated New York, Aug. 28, has con-
tinued to be very limited, the daily sales not exceeding a few
hundred bales taken by domestic consumers. Holders show
considerable firmness, and the quotations submitted are those
at which no large transactions could be entered upon without
causing an immediate advance, while in some instances small
lots had been sold at /c. to Ic. less. Freight to Liverpool
dull at 5-32ds.
A great change has taken place in the accounts received
this week from every section of the cotton growing region as
far west as Mobile. Rain, so much to be dreaded at this
period, has been falling freely, accompanied by an unusual
degree of cold, and though no damage has been done but what
could be made up by very seasonable weather, the prospects
for a good crop are much jeopardised. The accounts from
Alabama are more serious than elsewhere, and at the latest
dates, by telegraph from Mobile, rain was still prevalent. We
have yet to hear of the country tributary to New Orleans.

BEEIDSTUFFS.—The market for flour had been, very quiet,
the demand being chiefly confined to the trade, and prices had
declined in common qualities 12Ic. per barrel. Exporters had
taken a few thousand barrels for England. In wheat southern
descriptions had declined bc. to 10c. per bushel. Indian corn
had advanced sc. per bushel up to the close of last week, but
half of this advance had since been lost.
PROVISIONS.-The quantity of every description of provi-
sions continued to be extremely light, and as the season ad-
vanced the demand seemed to increase, and cause prices to
improve. Much activity and excitement prevailed in the pork
market, and rates of prime and mess had considerably ad-
vanced. Beef firm, with sales of about 200 bbls., closing at
Saturday's quotations all round. Prime mess was in moderate
demand, at $22 to $25. Butter and cheese were without
change of moment in quotations.
Coat.-The receipts of foreign continued small, and the
market was firm. Hard was steady at previous rates.
1a,0x.-The market was very firm, with sales of 300 to 400
tons. Scotch pig at $32 cash, and $33 to $34 six months,
and holders now demand $32 50c. cash, and $35 six months,
the stock being much reduced, and the ships hither light.
There is considerable inquiry for railroad iron, and some 2,200
tons Welsh have been sold at $62 60c. cash, mostly for future
delivery. American pig was held firmly, and prices tended
upward. 100 tons American wrought scrap brought $36 cash ;
and English sheet was firm, and some numbers scarce.

appointed to the office in 1841, and since that time 650 per-
sons have been personally attended to by "Kitty," as she was
familiarly called. Of that number only seventeen died under
her hands. The Marquis of Hastings, who fell into the river
in 1850, was restored by the treatment of Kitty, and the last
person she attended was Mr. G. A. Perkin, of London, who
fell into the river at Egremont about a fortnight ago. The
remains of the deceased were interred on Tuesday, in the
burial ground of St. Ann's Roman Catholic Chapel, Edge-hill.

BROMLEY'S PATENT EMPIRE SOAP,
which heretofre has edit be obtained as ver
few of the grocers will ben
keep it. To usefficult theo ir own words, by way of explanation, they state,—" Were we to buy it, it would reduce
our sales fully one third, as two pounds of the Empire Soap will
go as far as three pounds of any other soap ; we should also lose
our profit on soda and washing powders, as neither of these
articles are required when the Empire Soap is used, in either the
hardest water or in sea water." What the grocers are displeased
at in this soap is its strongest recommendation to the notice of
the large consumers, private families, hotel keepers, laundresses,
&c. It only requires to be used with a light hand. And besides
the above advantage it saves half the usual labour, consequently
less friction and wear in the clothes, and will not injure the
colours in the most delicate prints ; and is equally valuable for
every other domestic purpose, even for toilet use, as it is a pure
soap, free from rosin and other useless ingredients, which not
only add unnecessary weight to the soap but detract from its
cleansing properties.
To be had wholesale at the Works, No. 22, Cherry-lane, and
from the following dealers:—Mr. Edward Davies, chandler, No.
84, London-road; Mr. John Dixon, grocer, No. 48, Pembroke-

One Trial will prove the superiority of this soap.

The .31oniteur contains the following despatch, dated
Varna, Sept. 9th, 3.35 a.m. :
"The assault on the Malakhoff was made yesterday, at
noon. Its redoubts and the Redan of Careening Bay were
carried by storm by our brave soldiers with admirable
intrepidity. We immediately occupied ourselves in lodging
ourselves there; we succeeded in doing so at the Malakhoff.
The Redan of Careening Bay was not tenable, owing to the
heavy fire of artillery, which poured upon the first occupiers
of that work. Our solid installation cannot fail soon to make
it surrender, as also the Redan, of which our brave Alliei
carried the salient with their usual vigour, but, as was the
case at the Redan of Careening Bay, they were obliged to give
way before the enemy's artillery and powerful reserves. On
beholding our eagles floating on the Malakhoff, General de
Salles made two attacks on the Central Bastion. They did
not succeed. Our troops returned to their trenches. Our
losses are serious, and I cannot yet send a precise return. They
are amply compensated for, as the capture of the Malakhoff is
a success the consequences of which are immense.
The Globe says no further intelligence of the progress of
the assault has been received, but news of the capture of the
Redan is momentarily expected. The Central Bastion men-
tioned by General Pelissier is on the left attack in the direction
of the Quarantine Battery. It would thus appear that Sebas-
topol was assaulted on four points, namely, in the Redan of
Careening Bay on the right, the Malakhoff, the Great Redan,
and the Central Bastion, and that on the second and mos;
important of those points the assault was comparatively suc-
cessful. The advantage renders the fall of the Redan on each
side a matter of comparative certainty.
THE ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE EMPEROR,
The Times' Paris correspondent writes that, before the ser-
vant had time to open the door of the carriage, an individual,
who had been observed standing on the same spot for some
time, advanced and presented two small pistols, but before he
had time to discharge them into the carriage the police agents
struck down his arm and caused the bullets to pass under the
vehicle.
THE FUNDS, STOCK, AND SHARE MARKET.
In consequence of the announcement this morning of the
capture of the Malakoff, English funds opened at an advance
of per cent., but, from the extreme paucity of business, fell
during the day; prices gradually receded, and close only k per
cent. higher than on Saturday. Railway market tolerably
active, and quotations show an upward tendency. Land,
Bank, and Foreign Stocks generally supported. Canada Land
done at 150 49; Great Western of Canada, 241 1.

"THE RUSSIAN WAR AND ITS RELIGIOUS ASPECT."—Such
was a portion of the title of a lecture delivered last night at
the Hope-hall to a very meagre audience by a gentleman
styling himself " George Bird, late rector of Cumberworth."
Mr. Bird some time ago left the communion of the Church of
England, on account of some peculiar doubts of his own
respecting her religious tenets, and now does not profess to be
anything in particular, having dropped even the accustomed
garb of a clergyman. In his discourse lasthe com-
menced by saying that secularists maintained that the present
war arose from religious views in respect to the Holy Places,
and was influenced by the predictions of the Gospel. In con-
tradiction to this, he maintained that the " true" Gospel had
no connection with such matters of dispute as " Holy Places,"
and that none of the present churches as
Mor-
monism, Mahommedanism, Protestantism, the Church of
England, or any of the religious denominations—constituted
a " pure" church. Further reference to Mr. Bird's views are
unnecessary.
INQUESTS YESTERDAY.—The following inquests were held
before the borough coroner yesterday :—Upon the body of
William James Haythornthwaite, seven years old, son of a
wood hoop maker, residing in 18, Court, Upper Mann-street,
who, on Saturday, the Ist instant, was being chased by a com-
panion, when he fell. The other fell over him, and when he
got up, his arm was broken; it was set by Dr. Bickerton, but
inflammation of the brain set in, and the boy died on
Saturday. Verdict : Accidentally killed.—On the body of
John Thomas, a japauner and chess-table maker, who lodged
with John Boddington, at 20, Finch-street. He had been
drinking for a week, and was found dead in bed yesterday
morning, according to medical testimony, from a fit of
apoplexy, brought on by drink. Verdict accordingly.—Upon
the body of Robert Creighton, of the ship Fairfield, lying in
Stanley Dock, who, while drunk about midnight on Saturday
night, fell into the hold of the brig Mary, lying alongside,
and was so much injured that he died onthe way
to the

• I EXTENSIVE COTTON ROBBERIES.
Jortx CRAIG, a cotton porter, was brought up at the Police-
court yesterday, charged by detective officer Laycock with
stealing 60 lbs. of clean cotton from a cart in Macviccar-
street, Great Howard-street. The prisoner said that if he
was allowed he could go with the officer, and find him the
carter that gave him the cotton in ten minutes. He was ac-
cordingly remanded until to-day, to allow him the opportunity
of clearing himself.
James Westhead, cotton porter, and Michael Dunne, who
has a cotton store in Macviccar-street, and also keeps a beer-
house in Portland-street, were charged with stealing a quantity
of cotton from the office of Messrs. T. Poitlethwaite and Co.,
Exchange-chambers, Tithebarn-street. Mr. Martin (Messrs.
Postlethwaite's warehouseman) stated that he locked up the
premises securely on Friday evening. On the following morn-
ing he came down at 20 minutes past seven, and found every-
thing, as he at first supposed, in the same condition. On
going through the sale-room, however, a little boy drew
attention to men's feet on the counter. On searching
further, he found that about one and a half cwt. to two
cwt. of cotton samples had been stolen. They were what
are termed " used samples, " and were evidently taken
by some persons who knew the place well; for some
samples in front had not been disturbed. Entrance had been
obtained by means of a ladder raised against a window. Some
few weeks ago a precisely similar robbery had been com-
mitted. Mr. Martin. with detective officers Scott and
Patricks, had searched Dunne's store in Macviccar-street yes-
terday morning, and thrust in amongst some rotten Surat
pickings they had discovered similar samples to those stolen.
Upwards of 2 cwt. of cotton of various kinds were found thus
carefully concealed.
John Williams, an elderly man, a cotton porter, stated that
between six and seven o'clock on Saturday morninc, he saw
a cart standing at the end of the court leading to Achange-
chambers ; watched it loaded with packages of cotton, and
then followed it to Macviccar-street, where it was unloaded.
He saw Westhead come out of Exchange-chambers and put
something into the cart.
John Cairns, the carter, stated that he was going down
Tottenham-street at the time mentioned, when Westhead ran
across from Exchange-chambers, and asked him if he would
cart five bags of cotton waste to Macviccar-street for ls. He
(Cairns) agreed, and Westhead brought two packages to the
cart ; another man (not in custody) brought three more pack-
ages, paid him is,, and told him to drive:to Macviccar-street.
He drove there, but no one accompanying him, he was about
to turn back to look for Westhead, when the other man called
out to him from what he had since learned was Dunne's store,
and he then backed his cart up and unloaded there, seeing no )
one but the "other man."
The officers apprehended Westhead at Dunne's beer-house
on Saturday afternoon. They heard he was there, and sent a
person in to say he was " wanted outside." Dunne was stand-
ing in the window at this time; but when they went in to
take him also, they found that he had "flown," and he was
"out of the way," until between five and six o'clock yester-
day morning, when they knocked him up. When the charge
was explained to him, he said he had no cotton in Macviccar-
stree, but some " old Surat." Mr. Roby, solicitor, appeared
for the prosecution. Mr. Snowball, who defended Dunne,
argued that there was no evidence to implicate him in the
robbery, and that the "other man," so often referred to
might have had the cotton in his warehouse—even supposing
it to be that which had been stolen—without his consent.
Mr. Black, who appeared for Westhead, made a similar ap-
peal on behalf of his client, maintaining that Westhead was
not proved to have taken any leading part in the affair suffi-
cient to implicate him as a principal. On the application of
Mr. Roby, the case was remanded for a week to obtain further
evidence.
COMMERCIAL and MONETARY NEWS.
MONDAY NIGHT.
The steadiness of the public Funds, which has pre-
vailed for several weeks past, has not been affected
even by the raising of the minimum rate of discount
by the Bank of England from 31 to 4 per cent., a step
which was in some measure anticipated from the re-
cent progressive decline in the stock of Bullion, and
the amounts to be provided for the instalments coming
due of the several English Turkish and French loans.
It may be, however, that the effect of these payments
is over-estimated, as the amount of free capital is
still very large, and the decline but small, notwith-
standing that the drain for the purposes of the army
lhas been going on for some time past. By the Bank
returns of Friday, %it appears that there is a decrease
on 'the Bullion stock of Buon of £6,06,869, and in the reserve
of notes unemployed to about the same amount ; but
the imports of specie have lately been comparatively
small, and the renewed activity in %several important
markets, may account for this, without allowing any
serious apprehensions as to the future. It must not
be forgotten that the Bank surplus is not always a test
(if monetary resources, •as excess 'may be caused by
dulness in trade as well as by plethora of capital, and
a decrease of Bullion in the Bankcoffers may be caused
by a demand for home -trade, as well as by exports to
-other countries. Both circumstances should be taken
-into account ; and, as further supplies are known to be
on their way, and foreign exchanges are still favour-
able, the requirements of the loans will most probably
be met without any serious derangement of monetary
affairs.
We eopy Lhe following general remaeks from Llie
circular of Messrs. T. and H. LITTLEDALE and Co,
published on Friday last:---
As usually the case at this period, the probable result of the
harvest has been the most anxiously watched event of the
month, and though from the lateness of the season it is too
early to assert that all danger is past, yet most parts of the
country have, during the last fortnight, fortunately been
favoured with, if not-the brilliant-sun-of last autumn, at least
a fair run of dry harvest weather, which has rapidly matured
the crops, and enabled the farmers-to make good progress in
the reaping, and over a large breadth of country carrying
their grain, in such condition as may fairly lead us to assume
that an average harvest at least will be secured. Rice, it will
be observed, maintains its price, notwithstanding the heavy
arrivals, and the increased export demand seems to keep-our
cleaners fully employed. Sugar and Saltpetre have each had
a remarkable rise, with apparently no prospect of an imme-
diate reaction, indeed the advance on each seems warranted by
the law of supply and demand. We think we may reasonably
anticipate the continuance of a fair demand for most leading
articles of import.
Our SHARE MARKET has been very flat and inactive
all week, with the tendency of prices decidedly down-
wards. A momentary rally took place this morning,
but this not being supported by the public, prices
have again relapsed -to-those of last week. Foreign
shares are firm and improving. We annex prices :---
Caledonians, 311 ; East Lancashire, 181 ; Lancashire
and Yorkshire, 88* 2 11 ; London -Stock, 941 4 4 ;
Sheffield Stock, 251 5.; Midland. Stock, 681 1 1 ; South
Eastern, 181 ; East Lancashire Pref. Fifths, 51 ;
.Dutch Rhenish, lip.; Great Western ,of Canada new
,shares, ; Luxembourg constituted, 91d; Bank of
Liverpool, 231 ; Liverpool and London Fire and Life
tinsurance, 6p.
COTTON.---There has been a very fair amount of
business done during the week, and prices have re-
mained without alteration. The Manchester market
has been very firm, and, as the weather has been very
favourable for getting inthe harvest,there is little doubt
that the supply of cotton will fall short of the demand,
and the market experience a consequent advance. The
sales for the week up to Friday amounted to 56,300
bales, of which 7,020 were -taken on speculation, and
5,720 for export, leaving 43,560 for the trade. To-
DAV, the sales were 8,000 bales, including 2,000 for
speculation and export, and the market closed firmly,
prices being slightly higher. The following is a com-
parison of present rates with those of the correspond-
ing period last year :---

PRopue.E.---The Sugar market .has been very firm,
and full prices readily obtained for the small quantity
offered. Coffee in improved demand for export. Not
so much doing in Tea. Rice firm. Saltpetre scarce.
For Palm Oil an increased demand. Tallow improving.
TO-DAY, the inquiry for sugar has again increased,
resulting in the sale of 400 hhds. Antigua at 415., 145
hhds. Barbadoes from 40s. to 445. ed., 170 hhds.
Jamaica at 41s. 3d. to 435. 9d., 50 hhds. Porto Rico at
435. 3d., 500 bags Dates at 425. 6d., and 1900 bags
Pernams at 395. to 40s. per cwt., being generally ex-
treme prices to 6d. per cwt. advance. Nothing has
taken place in Molasses or Rum. There has been a
good demand for Coffee, 1600 bags Rio being reported
at 375. to 40s. for unwashed, and at 48s. to 545, per
cwt. for washed. The chief weight of the two last
arrivals of Tea having teen placed, our market has
relapsed into its former quiet position ; common
Congou ranges from nd. to 9d. per lb. Upwards of
5500 bags Larong Rice have found purchasers, at
previous prices, 1800 bags Arracan, all faults, at
lie. 9d. for first class damaged, and 100 tons Bengal,
to arrive, at 15s. 3d. ; a large business has also been
done in Sago Flour, 3250 bags for arrival being
reported at 255., and 250 bags on the spot at 30s. per
cwt. 90 cases Cutch have brought 235. per cwt.
WooL.---A very active demand continues to be
manifest for ail good, clean, low and middle qualities
of Wool, from the Levant and Mediterranean; stocks
of all descriptions are unusually light, and prices very
firm. Egyptian and the finer classes of Turkey and
Smyrna Wool are much in request and very scarce,
present stocks chiefly consisting of the lower sorts,
which are not good enough, and conseqently not so
much in request for the Army orders now in progress.
InDonskoi fleece some few sales have been made during
the week at full quotations. Market generally firm,
and prospects favourable. The imports for the week
are 2729 bales Peruvian ; 105 Mediterranean ; 34
Scotch 46 Irish ; and 19 Coastwise. Total, 2933
bales.
METALS.---The market looks in a very healthy state.
It is anticipated that at the coming quarterly meet-
ing an advance of £2 per ton on manufactured Iron
will be declared. Scotch Pig Iron is steadily ad-
vancing in price, 83s. being the closing price yester-
day for store counts f.o.b. Glasgow. Other metals
fiirm, and in good demand, but without change in
price.

Lord Panmure has received the following intelli-
gence from General Simpson, dated the Crimea, Sept.
8, 1855, 11 35 p.m. :
The Allied forces attacked the defences of Sebasto-

The advices from the Crimea are to the 28th of
August. _ . _
She has brought 150 invalids.
Despatches leave at 9 a.m.
The White Falcon has arrived.

A telegraphic despatch, dated Saturday morning,
says : " A treaty of alliance and of commerce was con-
cluded on the 12th of July between France and Persia,
and the ratifications were given to the Minister of
France: on the 14th."
THE SEA OF A ZOFF.
The Moniteur of Sunday publishes the following
despatch from Admiral Bruat _
CRIMEA,Sepp. 6.
" The captain of frigate Huchet de Cintr-6, com-
manding. the Milan, has informed me that the Milan
and Caton have destroyed in the Sea of Azoff, from
Temriank to Dolga, 43 fisheries, 127 boats, some
thousand nets, tar, salt, and an immense quantity of
casks. Four fisheries only have escaped destruction ;
-the shallowness of the water did not allow our vessels
to approach them.. The damage done to the enemy
may be estimated at some millions. The fishery trade
in the Sea of Azoff gives rise to a considerable export
trade, which extends to Poland, The destruction
which has been done will render it impossible for this
year.
" Commander Clone, of the Brandon, on his part
joined Captain Osborne, of the Vesuvius, to send their
boats up the gulf of Oukliouk, and to burn the pro-
vender collected there on the coast. All the corn-
manders of our vessels congratulate themselves on
being on so friendly a footing with Captain Osborne."
THE„FRiNCH EMPEROR SHOT AT.
The Ironiteur of Sunday publishes the following :
His Majesty the Emperor attended a representation
at the Italian Opera last night.
. .
At+the moment the carriage in which were the Ladies
of Honour of Her Majesty the Empress stopped in
front of the theatre an individual standing on the foot
pavement opposite fired, without taking aim, two small
pocket-pistols at the carriage.
No one was hit. This person, who appears to be a
maniac rather than an assassin, was immediately ar-
rested.
(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
The name of the individual arrested is Bellemarre.
He is about twenty-two years of age, and was born
at Rouen. When he was sixteen he was sentenced to
two years' imprisonment for swindling.
At the expiration of two months the Emperor, then
President of the Republic, commuted his sentence.
He pretends to have afterwards taken an active
part in the events of the 2d of December---to have
fought behind one of the barricades of the Rue Rarn-
buteau.
At
.that time placards, having in large characters,
" Motives for the Condemnation to Death of LouiS
Napoleon," were seized by the police.
During the examination Bellemarre declared him-
self to be the author of those placards.
He was sentenced by default to two years' im-
prisonment, and was transferred to Belle Isle.
Since he left prisons in February last, he lived at
Paris, under a false name, and had accepted an ap-
pointment as clerk to M. Jeanne, constable.
Bellemarre is a man of delicate constitution and of
vulgar appearance.
His antecedents, his language, his attitude after his
arrest, and during the examination, show that he is
really a maniac.
He had taken up a position at the entrance of the
Rue Marsollier, on the foot pavement opposite to the
entrance of the theatre, and he fired his two pistols at
the moment when the cries of " Vive l'Empereur "
made him fancy that the carriage which conveyed the
Ladies of Honour of the Empress was that of His
Majesty.
A city policeman on duty at this point instantly
pulled down the assassin's arm and captured him at
once.
Bellemarre was first taken to the police-office at
the Italian Theatre, and at once, M. Pietri, Prefect of
Police, presiding, a first statement was drawn up by
the Commissary of Police of the district.
The assassin is locked up in a cell at the Concier-
genie, where he is undergoing an examination.
The investigation continues.
His Majesty the Emperor, on his entrace into the
theatre, where the news of this criminal attempt was
immediately blown, was greeted with shouts of
" Vive l'Empereur ! and by rounds of applause, which
were renewed at intervals.
His Majesty only remained about one hour at the
theatre, and then proceeded to the Palace of the
Tuileries.
PRINCE. NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE.
His Imperial Majesty's yacht Ariel, Capt. De
Beaulieu, which left Cherbourg at three o'clock on
Sunday morning, arrived in Plymouth Sound at seven
that evening, having on board Prince Napoleon and
suite, consisting of Colonel De Marest, Captain De
Laroucherrs, R.N., Colonel Cypriani, of the Piedmon-
tese army, Dr. Yran, and Commander Fery Pisanv.
The yacht proceeded into ilarooaze, and his Highness
Islands, alluded to in oar last circular, have been more than
realized, for, by recent advices, we find the production falls
much short of what was anticipated, and that prices have been
paid for finest quality of fruit which will stand the importers
in 925. to 945. per cwt. here, duty paid, without anything in
the shape of profit. These accounts have produced excitement
both here and in London, and 10s. to 15s. per cwt. advance
upon previous rates has been demanded, and, at yesterday's
sales in London, has actually been realized, the finest 1851
fruit having sold at 105 s. per cwt. by auction. If these high
prices do not materially check the consumption, we cannot at
present conjecture to what extent prices may-go up, for it is
evident we shall not have anything like a sufficiency of stock
and imports of fine fruit to carry us on even beyond March or
April next, the inferior qualities are said to be scarcely useable,
so that they will not be likely to interfere much in keeping
prices down. Our present stock in bond is now brought down
to about 250 tons; and in this small stock we must have more
than one-third of a quality not worth the duty, and must be
destroyed or exported. In Raisins, at this season of the year,
just on the eve of first importations, we naturally expect very
little doing, and it would only tend to mislead our friends to
give any positive quotation of Muscatels or Valencias, prices
being quite nominal. Black Raisins, which we noticed in our
last circular as being scarcely inquired for, and might be bought
upon lower terms, have again revived, and within the last few
days we have sold upwards of 650 barrels, at advancing prices,
and for the few that are remaining unsold 275. 6d. to 28s. per
cwt. is again demanded. Sultanas are scarcely saleable, and,
as new are arriving, holders of old fruit will have to submit to
lower rates to force sales. New Valencias have already
arrived, and have sold in London at 425., which, considering
the prices abroad, is exceedingly moderate, and unless we hear
of the growers accepting lass prices, we may consider this
price will be maintained, when further supplies come in,
which may be daily looked for. Barcelona Nuts are in steady
demand at oar quotations, and the same may be said as
regards Turkey Nuts, but parties only take them as wanted,
in limited quantities. No Oranges at present in the market.
Lemons continue to come in, and fine ready sale at our quo-
tations.

THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL.
TEE progress of events is still slow and seemingly
uncertain in its course, as far as regards the siege. The
Russians, actuated apparently by the necessities which
press them, are making demonstrations of proceeding
to field operations. Large bodies of them have been
seen to leave Sebastopol, as if about once more to
march upon the allied armies on the Tchernaya.
These 'movements have been sufficient to keep the
whole of the besieging army on the alert, as it is not
known exactly whether they are meant as a prelude
to a Aerious attack, or are merely a feint. The cor-
respondent of the Braes, writing from the camp
before Sebastopol, on the 24th of August, says :
Orders were given this Morning that no officer or man
should quit the camp. An attack is expected, and the army
is on its guard. Large bodies of Russians have been seen to
issue from the town, and it is thought they meditate an on-
slaught upon the Sardinians. It may possibly prove a false
alarm, like many others that we have lately had. On the 21st
the troops were suddenly ordered under arms, the enemy had
been observed in motion on the heights beyond the Tchernaya.
Nothing came of it, nor of other similar recent alarms, but the
qui vine is becoming our habitual state.
We are completely in the dark as to the intentions of the
commanding generals as regards offensive operations. All that
we can see is that an attack on our lines is expected, and there
our knowledge stops. Meanwhile, our artillery and naval bri-
gade are far from idle. A number of old guns have been sunk
in the earth, and make excellent practice on the town, sending
shells in all directions, and doing considerable damage. I be-
lieve it is intended to use up all our old guns in this way, and
to dig up some that have been buried. The solid 68-pounder
that was lately taken down to a battery on the left made an
excellent shot a day or two ago at the bridge across the creek,
over which a number of soldiers were passing at the time.
The bullet cut the bridge in two, killing some of the men, pre-
cipitating others into the water, and sinking a barge. On the
night of the 22nd, the sailors got another 68-pounder into No.
9 battery, Left Attack. The elings broke on the way, and it
took some time, and such dexterity and exertion as none but
sailors can displayjin a like degree on such occasions, to get the
tackle right again and complete the journey. Unluckily, the
accident took place just under fire of the Redan, which opened
a heavy fire of shells on the party, but Jack, nothing daunted,
persisted in his task, and fortunately accomplished it without
casualty. j
Great numbers of mortars are coming up both for us and
the French, and this gives additional weight to the opinion
entertained by various persons here—notably by some of the
French staff—that it is intended to crush the place under a
prodigious fire of mortars. There can hardly be a doubt that
these are- the most effective weapons we can employ against
Sebastopol. The vertical fire which Sir Howard Douglas ad-
vocated finds partisans among all practical men here. You
may convert the huge earthworks of the Russian batteries
into masses of iron by a horizontal fire, but for that the enemy
will care little. It is quite clear that his inner works, not his
outer ones, are what he reckons on, and only by a vertical fire
we can hope to destroy the former.
A meeting was held yesterday morning of officers of the
Highland Division to inspect specimens of waterproof winter
clothing, which were found excellent, and only slight altera-
tions were suggested. Sir Colin Campbell took the oppor-
tunity to read to his officers the copy of a note received by
General Pelissier from the Emperor of the French, in which
the Emperor informed him that he had positive intelligence
that the Russians would not be able to pass the winter here.
This 'would doubtless be by reason of the impossibility of
getting up stores and provisions. Several deserters who have
lately come in have agreed in stating that ammunition is
plentiful in Sebastopol, but food hard to obtain. From Kertch
we hear that the Spit of Arabat is completely commanded by
our shipping, and that nothing can pass over it. As regards
scarcity in the Russian camp, the latest " shave" current is
that Gortschakoff telegraphed to Dolgorouki that he had but
six days' rations left, whereupon Dolgorouki telegraphed
back to Gortschakoff that there was plenty at Balaklava,
and he had better go and take them.
There is something in the wind this evening. The Guards
and Highland Divisions were to furnish men for the trenches,
and these were actually paraded when they were ordered to
turn in and hold themselves in readiness for other duty.
The men gave a smothered cheer as they obeyed the order.
Since then I have seen a small body of men from one of those
two divisions marching down through the dusk in the direc-
tion of the trenches, but there was but a company or two,
besides a working party. The report in the divisions which
received this unexpected and unusual order is that they are to
be employed to repel a Russian attack on the line of the
Tchernaya, whither all eyes appeared to be turned in expecta-
tion Of work. The French were under arms last night, as
well as the Sardinians. General Pelissier apprehended an
attack.
The health of the army continues excellent. The weather is
dry, dear, and not excessively warm. Sir. W. Eyre, com-
manding the Third Division, reports to the Quartermaster-
General, under date of the 14th inst., in very high terms con-
cerning the excellent order in which he found the hospital on
a recent inspection. " I cannot conceive," he says, " that sol-
diers in the field can be more orderly or comfortably accom-
modated." He adds that the sick are in possession of every
comfort, and gives great credit to the medical men of the
divisibn. The weather is decidedly favourable to field hospi-
tals, permitting doors to be left open and canvas raised so as
to ventilate thoroughly, and I am often struck, when passing
through the camp, by the clean, cool, and comfortable appear-
ance of the hospital huts and marquees, and of their inmates.
Aug. 25, noon.—We have had an agitated night and morn-
ing. There was a good deal of firing in the evening, which
increased towards one o'clock, about which time a sortie was
attempted by the Russians against the Mamelon, but promptly
repelled. The firing was very heavy for a short time—as
heavy as any night-firing that has been heard here for a long
time past. At two a.m. the Highland Division marched to
support the Sardinians. The whole army was under arms before
daylight, an attack being fully expected, and General Simpson
and his staff were out and round the lines. At this present
time all is quiet, but the troops are ordered to be in readiness.
So strong was the expectation of an action on the Tchernaya,
owing to the movement of the Highlanders and other indica-
tions, that several amateurs went down to the ground where
the battle, it was thought, would occur. The hour compels me
to close this letter, but, according to every appearance, my
next must take you news of a collision. It is intensely hot
to-day, and the Russians generally are very quiet from noon
till one or two o'clock—probably eating or reposing.
THE FRENCH AND SARDINIAN ARMIES.
The correspondent of the Times, on the 21st August,
from the camp on the Tchernaya, writes
Since the affair of the 16th we, on our side, have again
relapsed into the former routine way. The Russians have
vanished from all sides, and the siege operations have again
monopolised, in a great measure, the interest which the Tcher-
naya line had attracted for the moment. There was, indeed, a
report that the Russians had an intention of renewing their
attack, but that the opening of the new batteries next morning
upset their plans, as they apprehended some attack of the allies
from that side. The Tchernaya has become, in consequence
of the late attack, a point of attraction for all curiosity-
seeking persons, whose name is legion, in the allied armies.
The ground where the attack took place being extended and
very much broken up, one could not at first fully appreciate the
loss of the Russians, but it is now officially known that the
French alone have 2,200 Russians wounded and prisoners, the
number of unwounded prisoners amounting to 400. The col-
lecting of the wounded took nearly two days, and most likely
there are still some of them not discovered among the bushes
in the neighbourhood of the river. For the burial of
the dead an armistice was concluded, during which the
French buried all those on this side of the river, while
the Russians buried those in the plain beyond. The
number of the dead is not yet officially known, but the
accounts which I have heard vary from 1,500 to 1,700.
Every one who saw the Russians running back could not
doubt that they were thoroughly routed. The battle-field
gives an additional proof of this. The Russians are very
particular about carrying away their wounded and officers,
especially general officers. In the late action three generals
were found on the field, one mortally wounded, and two
others dead. One of the dead is said to have been General
Bellegarde, who was last year in the Principalities. The
wounded General Read has since died of his wounds at the
French head-quarters. Gortschakoff was during the action
at the observatory at Mackenzie's Farm. He is said to have
given the orders to retire before he knew the result of the
attack; because he guessed the result from seeing the French
tents still standing on the hillocks. Could he have seen inside
of them he would perhaps not have given the order so quickly,
for the tents alone stood, everything else—stores, ammunition,
&c.—had been removed. It is confirmed on all sides that the
attack • took place at the express order of the emperor.
When the attack was over, and the Russians began jo retire,
everybody expected something from the other side ; but when
nothing came, and the Russians, after a partial attack on our
centre—which, although violent enough, lasted not more than
two hours—fell back, the whole attack seemed incomprehen-
sible. During the attack on the Tchernaya there was like-
wise a demonstration towards Baidar. The French cavalry
had retired during the night preceding the attack and
during the early part of the morning, and had occupied
the ridge on which Count Tcrawsky's villa is situated, at
the entrance of the valley, while the two battalions of
infantry, which had been down for the protection of the
passes, retired on the hills above Brujuk Miskonsia.
They had scarcely gone off, when two hundred Cossacks
came down into the valley, and picked up everything the
French had left behind them—a number of bullocks, some
biscuits, rice, and 140 loads of hay. Content with this plunder
they retired again to the heights. Some changes have taken
place in the commandership of the French troops at the
Tchernaya. General d'Herbillon commanded during the
attack as senior general of division. Now, as the Imperial
Guard has been added as a reserve to the troops on the
Tchernaya, General Renaud de St. Jean d'Angely takes com-
mand of the whole as General d'un Corps d'Armee. There is,
besides, some talk of uniting the command of the allied troops
on the Tchernaya in one hand. When Omar Pacha left, he
gave his instructions to Osman Pacha. As these instructions
seem to be very narrow, they throw serious impediments in the
way whenever it becomes necessary to use Turkish troops.
Everyone speaks with the greatest praise of the behaviour of
the Sardinian troops. Their artillery rendered immense
service, partly by subduing the fire of the enemy's guns in the
plateau opposite, partly in crushing the columns of attack by
taking them in flank. There was also a battery armed with
English:position-guns, which kept firing at the Russian ar-
tillery on the plateau nearest to the plain. Scarcely a shot
missed. Their infantry drove back the Russian riflemen on
the banks of the river in the most gallant style. They ad-
vanced with the steadiness and precision of old troops, and
made their evolutions under the fire of the enemy with as
much precision as if they had been on parade. The Sardini-
ans also followed up immediately the retiring enemy, and
took several hundred prisoners and wounded.

The proceedings of the Finance Committee were read. They
included the'following recommendations :—L To increase the
salary of Mr. Linton Hughes, from £4OO to £450 per annum,
the consideration of which was postponed at the last monthly
Council, pursuant to the standing orders. 2. To expend a
sum not exceeding £7,000 in permanent buildings on land
leased to Mr. John Laird, at Birkenhead, in lieu of the con-
struction of sheds as provided in the existing agreement be-
tween Mr. Laird and the Corporation. 3. To pUrchase from
the trustees and executors, under the will of the late Mr.
John Woolwright, a piece of land at the corner of Rodney-street
and Hardman-street, at the price of 28s. per square yard.
Mr. HORNITY, in moving the confirmation of the minutes of
the committee, referred first to the proposed increase of Mr.
Hughes's salary from £4OO to £450 per annum. He believed
that every =zither of the Council was well aware of the value
of Mr. Hughes's services, The Town-clerk had recommended
the increase which was now proposed ; and he (Mr. Horuby)
thought that Mr. Hughes was fully entitled to it. He moved,
therefore, that this part of the minutes of the committee be
confirmed.
After some opposition on the part of Mr. ROBERTSON GLAD-
STONE, the resolution was unanimously carried.
Mr. HORNBY, in moving the recommendation with respect
to the advance of £7,000 to Mr. Laird, stated that the Coun-
cil were under covenant to :erect sheds over Mr. Laird's
graving-docks, which would cost a very much larger sum than
the £7,000 now proposed to be advanced ; and the interest to
be paid was in either case 61- per cent., while the permanent
buildings, which were to be kept up at Mr. Laird's cost, would
be of very much greater ultimate value to the Corporation
than the sheds.—The recommendation was unanimously
agreed to; as was that for the purchase of the late Mr. Wool-
might's land at the corner of Rodney-street, which Mr.
Hornby said would (with the exception of a small piece of
land belonging to the Jews' Synagogue) put the committee in
possession of all the property which was necessary to effect the
improvement at that spot.
The general proceedings were then unanimously confirmed.
PROPOSED AMALGAMATION OP LIVERPOOL Wl= BIRKEN-
HEAD.
Mr. MA.NN understood that the Mayor had received a com-
munication from the Commissioners of Birkenhead, which,
from its nature, was of so much consequence that it was
exceedingly desirable that it should be brought before the
Council at once.
This suggestion meeting with general approval, the Towir
cnnuir read the communication, which consisted of a copy of
the resolutions, passed' on the previous-evening, at the meeting-
of the Birkenhead Commissioners, as follows :
"The chairman having brought forward the subject 9f
opening a communication with the Mayor and Town Council
of the borough of Liverpool, as to the incorporation of the
townships of Birkenhead and Claughton with the borough of
Liverpool, it was moved by Mr. Laird, and seconded by Mr.
Gough, `That the subject be referred to the Finance Com-
mittee, with power to communicate with the Town Council of
Liverpool thereon, to learn the sentiments of the Council, and
to report to this board before' proceeding further.'—And, the
board having divided, and there appearing, for the motion' 14,
against it, 3, the motion was stirried. Resoled,—That Mr.
Laird be requested to communicate with the Mayor and Town
Council of Liverpool on the subject of the foregoing minute,
and to report thereon to the committee."
Mr. HORNBY said his opinion was in favour of such an
arrangenient as-that which the resolution of the Birkenhead
Commissioners appeared to contemplate, and he-believed it
would be found most advantageous-- but, in the present stage
of the business, he did not see that they could do anything
more than refer it to some committee to confer with the
Birkenhead Commissioners ; and,- without binding the
Council to anythingi to endeavour to- come to some arrange-
ment that would be satisfactory to both parties, and to submit
it to the Council for .its consideration.---(Hear, hear.) It ap-
peared to him that the details of such an amalgamation might
be very easily arranged, and that there were no greater diffi-
culties-to be encountered than had already been overcome in
the amalgamation of the old borough 9f Liverpool with the
out-townships, which amalgamation had been found to work
very well and very much to the advantage of all parties. He
would sub-gst that the subject should be referred to the-same
committee which had under its management the new Birken-
head Docks. There were many gentlemen on that committee
who were members of the Dock and Finance Committees; and
if there was a disposition-on both sides to- meet the question
fairly and liberally, he thought that no difficulties whatever
were likely to arise which might not be easily overcome.
Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE seconded the motion.
Mr. BENICEIT thought the inquiry should'be so extended-as
to embrace the question of greatly enlarging.the boundary on
both sides of the river. His own opinion was that the
limits of the- borough, on the Lancashire side of the river,
should be very much enlarged and he had heard the Town-
clerk say that the facilities :for the transaction of public
business would be very much- increased by such an arrange-
ment. He therefore moved that the committee to whom thel
communication- from Birkenhead might be referred, should
take this subject into their consideration also.

before them by the communication from the Commissioners-
of Birkenhead was- a comparatively simple one, and one which,
a, committee eould deal with with great facility ; but the
question of enlarging the parliamentary boundary was one
which was much more difficult, and much more complicated.
It was true that neither object could be effected without at:
act of parliament ;. but the diffivalties to be overcome would.
be- very much greater in the one case than in the other, and.;
the measure nceessoxy to effect it would, in fact, be a new
Referm Bill. He-would suggest, therefore, to his friend Mr.
Bennett, that he should not embarrass a question in which
they were all deeply interested, by mixing it up with another-;
which was much,-.more complicated,, and which involved very
different considerations,. _
Mr. BERNARD said, perhaps the Town-clork •would:
explain the advantages of extending the boundary ; and, if it
were necessary or desirable, he thought it should be referred
to.the same committee. _ _
The TowN:CLERS said it was quite true that, with respect-
to the present boundary, considerable difficulty had occurred--
When the out-townships were added to the boroughthey were
not set out by metes and bounds, but were described as " the
township of Kirkdale" and " thetownshipof Everton," and a.
line was drawn defining that portion of the township of West-
Derby which was-added to the Parliamentary borough., Now,
at that time the-boundaries between. Iraikdale and Walton were-
indispute, ande it was the same vvith.respect to Everton,.while-
the boundary line which was drawn through West. Derby
passed across fields, some of which were now being brought
into use for building purposes. It was -by no means impro-
bable that by some of the buildings erected that boundary
line might be-eventually taken up, and so that might happen
which had happened before, and had been attended. with con-
siderable difficulty, a house being partly, in one parish and.
partly in another. He thought it desirable, therefore, that
the subject should he taken up before the fields, through which
the boundary. line passed, were covered with buildings to any
considerable extent.
Mr. We-opal:try concurred with Mr. Bennett's. view, and
seconded his motion.
Mr. MANN thought the present reference shoula be confined
to the subject brought before the, Council by the communica-
tion from the, Commissioners of: Birkenhead, and. that the
Health_Coramittee might take up the other question separately,
and present a report upon it, if they thought fit.

The proceedings of this committee includf.,d a recornmenda-
tion.to enter into a fresh contract with Mr. Parkinson for the
Increased van accommodation, required for the new bridewells.
Mr. JORNSON, the deputy-chairman of the committee, in
moving the confirmation of this recommendation, explained
that the amount of the present contract was £275 ; that the
estimate for the increased van accommodation, required for tho
new bridewells, would raise the sum to £550, and that, in ad-
dition to this, there would be a further sum of £250 for the
conveyance of prisoners to and from the new gaol at Walton,
This would make the total expense £fioo a-year, against £275,
which was the present charge ; this did not, however, include
the, removal of remanded prisoners to and from Walton.—A.
protracted discussion ensued, in the course of which several
irrelevant matters were introduced ; but ultimately the pro-
ceedings of the committee were confirmed.

A second supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday,
September 4, contains the following despatch from General
Simpson, dated Before Sebastopol, Aug. 25
MY LORD,—Having been engaged since daylight in a care-
ful observation of the position in front of Balaklava, I am
unable to address your Lordship at any length to-day.
The enemy have been concentrating troops at the Mackenzie,
Tasova, and Karales, their left extending as far as the village
of Makoul, and are supposed to have received considerable re-
inforcements, which probably consist of two divisions of
Grenadiers, which have been conveyed in carts from Bak-
shiserai and Simpheropol.
The bridge across the Great Harbour is nearly completed,
and large bodies of men are employed in erecting earthworks
on the north side of the harbour. Entrenchments have been
thrown up on the Severnaya-hill, extending from the sea coast
to the site of the first lighthouse, facing the north.
From various sources we learn that the Russians on the
right bank of the Tchernaya are held in perfect readiness for
an offensive movement.
Our siege operations progress steadily, with, I regret to say,
heavy casualties on our side, as your lordship will see by the
accompanying lists.—l have, &c.,
JAMES SIMPSON, General Commanding.
The total casualties are-2 sergeants, 24 rank and file,
killed; 8 officers, 6 sergeants, 168 rank and file, wounded.
The.lnvalide Russe publishes the following extracts from
Prince Gortschakoff's diary of the siege from the 14th to the
18th of August :
"The fire of the enemy before Sebastopol, from the 2nd to
6th (14th-18th) of August, which was very heavy at times,
became almost incessant after nightfall. The besiegers throw
in a great quantity of hollow shells against the works of the
town.
"On the 4th (16th) the fire against the town was slack.
"On the sth (17th) at 4 30 a.m., the enemy opened a new
cannonade and bombardment. They had succeeded, for this
object, in placing a large number of mortars in their nearest
trenches. The fire of the besiegers was directed against the
Karabelnaia, and the works which defend that part of the town.
" On our side, despite the violence of this bombardment, the
artillery of the town replied with constant sucless, and with
no less energy than that of the enemy, and by its well-directed
fire, silenced on the sth (17th) some of their batteries, and de-
stroyed the embrasures of others. The serious damage done
to our fortifications was repaired by us as well as posssble,
although the incessant fire at short range of the besiegers con-
siderably delays the works.
" Our losses, which were moderate during the first three
days, were considerable on the 6th (17th".)

SCOTLAND.
ON Wednesday, the Court left Osborne for Buckingham
Palace. On her arrival, her Majesty gave audience to the
Duke and Duchess of Montpensier.
The Queen and Prince Albert, with the Prince of Wales,
Prince Alfred, the Prhlcess Royal, and the Princesses Alice,
Helena, and Louisa, left Buckingham Palace at twenty-five
minutes to eight o'clock on Thursday morning for Holyrood,
en route to Balmoral.
The royal suite consisted of Lady Churchill, the Hon.
Beatrice Byng, Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, Major-General
the lion. Charles Grey, Mr. Gibbs, and Sir James Clark.
The Royal party occupied four of the Queen's carriages, and
were escorted from the Palace to the King's-cross station of
the Great Northern Railway by a detachment of the 3rd Light
Dragoons, where a special train was in readiness to convey
Her Majesty to Edinburgh.
Earl Granville joined the Queen at the station, and will
attend Her Majesty to Balmoral.
The Royal train arrived at York punctually at the time
appointed--viz., 12 42 p.m., and Her Majesty, His Royal
Highness Prince Albert, and the Royal children, on alighting
from their carriages, were hailed with hearty cheers from the
large concourse of persons assembled within the station to
witness the arrival.
After a most enthusiastic reception, the Queen took the
arm of her Royal Consort, and was escorted by the Lord
Mayor to the Royal Station Hotel. The Royal party entered
amidst a renewed volley of cheers, and proceeded direct to
the apartments specially set apart for their accommodation,
where they partook of luncheon. This occupied the royal
party half an horn- ; and, precisely at a quarter after one
o'clock, her Majesty and suite again appeared on the platform,
and were received with a renewal of the plaudits with which
they were greeted on their arrival. The royal train reached
Newcastle a twenty-two minutes past three o'clock, and left
at half-past.
There was a large crowd of people in the station, and her
Majesty, who appeared rather fatigued, graciously acknow-
ledged the cheering.
Prince Albert and the Royal children appeared at the car-
riage-windows, and were saluted with cheers.
The Mayors of Newcastle and Gateshead were in attend-
ance. A sad accident occurred between York and Newcastle.
While the Royal train was passing near Ferry-hill, one of the
railway servants was walking along the footboard of the
train, filling the grease-boxes. The poor fellow while so em-
ployed was crashed between the carriages. and a bridge, and
was severely injured. He has since died. Her Majesty was
infortned of the accident before reaching Newcastle, and ex-
pressed great anxiety with regard to the man.
The Queen, Prince Albert, and the Royal gamily passed
Berwick at 5.15 on Thursday evening, Dunbar at 6, and
reached S. Margaret's-, Edinburgh, at 6.38, seien minutes
before time,
They were' received by the Duke of Buccleuch, Lord Mel-
ville, and Sheriff Gordon. They drove through the Park to
Holyrood, amidst the loyal concourse, rendered unusually large
by the beautiful evening.
They reached nolyrood before 7, where they were received
by the Lord Pro/ost. The whole way was lined by military
and militia.
Her Majesty had to change to an ordinary saloon carztiage
at Darlington, from t'Se over-heating of an axle.
TIIE NEW CASTLE OF BALMORAL.
Wiry his Royal Highness Prince Albert became propri-
etor of the estate of Balmoral, it was- found that the old
Castle did not afford sufficient accommodation- for the Royal
family durinwtheir autumnal visit' to Sealand. His Royal
Highness- then resolved to erect a new andi commodious
building at his own expense, which has been improgress for
about three' years, and, although it is- not yet finished, the
Royal apartments have been completed so as kr admit of
their being occupied during the present season.
The new Castle stands on the same level as.the - old resi-
dence, but is nearer to the margin of the 'Dee; which, here,
in a' semi-circle, sweeps the base of the mountain range of
Craig-en-Gowan, • and forms a large- peninsula, -the-plateau
of which affords the' most perfect privacy for the retirement
of the Royal family.- The green terrace within 'this- bend of
the river, 'though only-about 10 feet above 'the rise of the
water, is composed of. 4ht gravelly soil, so porous and dry
that lint-little drainage was needed to htsur6'a healthy atfnos-
phere ; and,' constituting' as it does the, highest tableland in
Scotland, surrounded by magnificent screens of fir and heath-
clad granite, the Royal residence is all that could be -desired
for an autumnal dwelling.-
The building is of the Stath baronial style of.architesture,.
modified in some of its details, so as to combine the morebold
and prominent features cf the ancient stronghold with the-
more domesticcharacter of modern civilization. The design•
consists of two separate blocks of buildings -connected by,
wings, at the east angle of which the massive- tower, 35 feet'
square, rises to the height ofBo feet, and is surmounted a=,
turret with circular staircase;.riSing to the haight of 100 'het

view will be one of-the most pictdresque which: the Grampian
range affords.

of. a quadrangle, facing the• scuth,;, the north, and the west.
The entrance porch is on theaouth aide, wherei':,hearchitecttire-

4GIICULTURALL SOCIETY:
Tnv eighth r.nnual exhibition. of cattle, horses, implements,
&e., of the Ma4cbester and Liverpool Agricultural Society was
held on Thursday, in a field near Westfield-street, St: Helen's.
The show wz.s. a good one. The amount taken at the gates for
admission was S:210 175.; and it has onlx,been twice exceeded
—at Altrinchum, last year,. and at Warrington, in 1853. The
band of the. Lancashire Hpssars played during_the day.
The show of horned wale was tolerably numerous, and,
taken asa wbole, of fullkaverage quality. There were some
superior; animals in each class, but net sufficient to make the
show one of the first order. The most superior class was '
decidedly the bulls, there being seine: really splendid animals
of each kind. The horses were numerous, and good in quality.
Those for dray use were considered superior to-those for agri-
cultural purposes; but the class,, as, a. whole, received very '
general attention acrd commendation. There were not many
sheep shown, but they were of fine quality., The pigs were
capital specimens, very few of them being ua.that state of help-
less obesity which a few years. ago seemed to constitute the
only claim to a prize. The poultry were tolerably numerous„
although many coops were unoccupied, The birds seemed to
be generally good specimens. There was only a small show
of vegetables and, seeds for, prizes. The display of implements
was scarcely, so extensive as usual at these shows, but many
of the implsiments attracted much attention, being carefully
examined, by those practically interested in agriculture..
Messrs. J. Dickson and Sons, Manchester and Chester, ex-
hibited a good collection, of seeds, grasses, &c., and there were
a few other exhibitors in the same class.
Three reaping-machines were upon the ground. The judges
had, awarded the first prize to. that entered by Mr. Plant, of
Elworth-hall, Sandbach ; and the second to the machine en-
tered by Mr. R. Bell, of Mossbury-hall, near Ormskirk. All
three machines were modifications of Hussey's principle.
The dinner was held in the Market-hall, Naylor-street. at
five o'clock. Upwards of 300 persons sat down,, Nord Stanley
presiding. The hussar band was present, and played during
dinner and between the speeches. In proposing the toast of
the Emperor and Empress of the French, the noble chairman
said—This generation has seen, for the first time in 500 years,
the mutual rivalry of France and England united. There is
no doubt that this is in a great part due to an increased inter-
course between the two countries, and to the growing spirit of
civilisation ; but it would be unjust to deny that a large part
of the merit was due to that remarkable man who now repre-.
sents and rules the French nation. There are points in the
career of Napoleon upon which we, as foreigners, are hardly
competent to form a judgment ; but there are also traits in
his personal character which Englishmen can feel and appre-
ciate, so long as they value in those who govern the qualities of
a clear judgment, a strong will, and a mind undisturbed alike by
passion and by fear. (Hear, hear.) And even those who may
take a less favourable and friendly view of the man will
not, I presume, refuse to pay ,a proper and customary mark of
respect to one who has in turn been the guest and the host of
our Sovereign, who is a strong and faithful ally, and who,
under providence, and next to our own right hand, is our
mainstay in the great struggle in which the two nations are
engaged. In his address prefacing the toast of " Success to
the Manchester and Liverpool Agricultural Society," his Lord-
ship dwelt at considerable length on the importance of science
as applied to the various processes of tillage and culture. He
expressed his opinion emphatically, as to the necessity of cul-
tivating to the utmost all the land fitted for cultivation. He
declared his conviction that that man was a wrong-doer, in so
far as the community is concerned, who retains in his hands
or in his ownership, land which he has not the power to im-
prove, but which he has the power to sell. He also alluded
to the necessity of economically applying the sewage and other
manure of large towns, which is at present allowed to poison
our rivers and choke our seas. In conclusion, he urged the
necessity of rendering mechanical inventions and skill avail-
able for improving the various processes of agriculture,

LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING.
PUBLIC EXCITEMENT IN THE METROPOLIS.
At eight &clock, a large crowd assembled in front of the
Iraosion-house and Royal Exchange, in the expectation that
the Lord Mayor, in his robes, would read an official communi-
cation ; but as no information had been sent by government
to the city, the ceremony did not take place. The bells of
many of the churches rang out merry peals, while, in most of
i‘oe thoroughfares, groups of people were to be seen reading
t4* papers around the gas-lights and the shop windows.
he National Airs were played at all the barracks.
At the Haymarket Theatre, Mr. Buckstone came forward
between the acts. The audience rose en masse, and received
the
news with immense cheering. At the Lyceum Theatre,
p_
-Zressor Anderson announced the news with the same effect.
he. Adelphi, Mr. Leigh Murray announced the great news,
Rcli created an immense furore of enthusiasm, till the very

succession.
Tower guns are now being fired.

biscuits. One of them was brought away by Commander
Rosencoat, of the Obligado. The parties were divided into
companies, proceeded to burn, blow up, and destroy the arse-
nals, storehouses, and all government buildings. Not a ves-
tige of any public work was left standing, except the hospital,
which, with the church and the dwellings of the poorer classes
of the inhabitants, was left untouched. The inhabitants com-
menced deserting the place shortly after the garrison embarked.
Accompanied by the authorities, they started on or about the
20th April towards Tchinsk ; but the Governor's wife being
enceinte, the flight continued only to the small fishing village
of Avache, some twenty miles inland. The following day, after
the arrival of the allies, the destruction of the fortifications
commenced. These were fascines, constructed of immense
logs—the walls being sixteen feet in thickness. Such was
their strength, they resisted all efforts for some time, and were
finally razed to the ground by the agency of powder. It ap-
pears that the policy of the Russian government had changed
rather suddenly in this matter. After the battle of last
year orders came for strengthening the forts ; and though at
that time such a resistance was made as to repel the assail-
ants, there being but one tier of guns, it was ordered to in-
crease it to a double tier. The destroyers found embrasures
for fifty-one guns of heavy calibre. Why this sudden change
of policy took place may, perhaps, be explained by that on
which the Russians have always acted—of retiring into the in-
terior from their invaders, and avoiding decisive engagements.
This time, however, they have made nothing by the movement,
and, with the increased strength of the place, it would seem
that they might have made a more obstinate resistance than
before. The fleets did not leave the place until the demolition
was complete. The fleet sailed, with the exception of the
Trincomalee, on board of which were left two Russian prisoners,
whom it was proposed to exchange for a French sailor, whose
arms were amputated after being taken prisoner in the battle
of last year. The American residents there report that they
have lived in perfect peace and friendship with the inhabitants
up to the day of their departure, and that the French and En-
glish prisoners were treated with humanity. We have been
shown a despatch dated in Petropaulowski, from Rear-Admiral
Fourichon, of the French fleet, in which he states, after briefly
recapitulating the facts above enumerated, that the Russian
garrison (as Le Journel informs us) some 1,200 men, had
doubtless sailed for the mouth of the Amoor river, which drains
the southern portion of Siberia, and flows into the Gulf of Sag-
halien, an arm of the Sea of Ochetsk. They left for this point
on the 17th April, and were doubtless there before the French
and English arrived at Kamschatka. This river is regarded
as the dividing line between China and. Asiatic Russia, and at
its mouth is a very strong series of fortifications, which have
been greatly strengthened from time to time by the Russians.
It is thought by some of the officers of the Obligado that
the immense armament of Petropaulowski was carried there
with the garrison ; and if this be true, there will be a
western Sebastopol, which may puzzle the allies as much
as the stronghold of the Crimea. The fleets have gone to cruise
for the present among the Aleutian Islands, and will probably
look in at Sitka. An English and French squadron have
proceeded by the China Sea to the mouth of the Amoor river,
where, the despatch says, there will soon be severe fighting.
There are about ten ships of war in these fleets, which would
be joined by the steamer Brisk, now at Petropaulowski. The
line of battle-ship Monarch is the flag-ship of the English
fleet. We learn that the above squadrons will join at Petro-
paulowski, whence they will proceed to this port for provisions;
they may be expected in about three weeks. The officers of
the Obligado think they will separate,. the English making a
rendezvous at Vancouver's Island, and the French here ;
both fleets, however, will come directly to this port. Their
arrival will increase business to a considerable extent. The
English frigates Pique and Amphitrite have sailed for the
Sea of Ochotsk, to join the rest of the fleet; also the two
steamers which were formerly employed in blockading Petro-
paulowski. The French steamer Prowy will be here in a few
days. The fleets will sail to the Amoor river after provision-
ing and fitting out at this port. Rear-Admiral Bruce, while
at Petropaulowski, caused a handsome fence to be erected
around the cemetery in which were buried the bodies of the
killed of the Russians and Allies, in the battle of last year.
A large tablet, bearing a Russian inscription in commemora-
tion of the fight, was erected, which, as it refers to all alike,
will doubtless be respected when the Russian inhabitants
return. The country, when the fleets approached, presented
a grand and sublime picture. The lofty mountains, from their
peaks down to the very shore, were clad in a mantle of snow ;
the cold was not severe. All was gloomy, silent, and desolate.
It snowed almost incessantly for three weeks while the Obli-
gado was there. The brig left Valparaiso for the Sandwich
Islands ; proceeded thence to Kamtschatka, and thence here.
She has seen some very severe weather at the North."
The Alta California, of a later date, adds the following
particulars—" We learn from the Russian consul, M. Kos-
tromithoff, that the intelligence published in the morning
papers of yesterday is untrue as regards the evacuation of
Sitka by the Russian residents. It will be remembered that
there is now a convention existing between the Hudson Bay
Company and the Russian American Company, which was
celebrated at St. Petersburg and London, by the provisions of
which this portion of the Russian possessions is exempted
from hostilities. Consequently, there could be no danger of
the Allied fleets committing any depredations ; nor is the
Governor of Sitka, or his officials, so ignorant of the chivalry
of the French and English marine as to suppose that they
would override the stipulations of the British government,
and attack a defenceless place. True, the French have not
entered into this treaty, but the very inhumanity of the
destruction of a trading post, occupied by harmless in-
habitants, and almost defenceless in guns and men, would be
enough to ensure its safety. The movements of the allied
fleets in the Pacific, up to this time, have been characterised
by a commendable regard to the behests of humanity. On the
arrival of the fleet, the Brisk was sent in to communicate with
the shore. The Governor sent off his secretary to state that
he hoped the provisions of the convention would be observed,
as the place was without the means of defence, and unprepared
to make any resistance. The commander of the Brisk replied
that they had only enteredthe place to ascertain if the Dwina or
Aurora were there; in which case the French fleet would
have cut them out; but no harm was intended to the town.
The reports regarding the starving condition of the Russian
American Commercial Company we learn from Mr. Beverley
C. Sanders to be also unfounded. Provisions were plenty.
Mr. Berlin, one of the directors of the company, went on
board the Alceste, on her arrival, and obtained facts which
are at variance with those published on the following morn-
ing." The climate at present of Sitka Island is mild and
agreeable, though occasional fogs appear, like those seen off
our own coast. The mountains rising from the immediate
vicinity of the coast are clothed with dense forests of pine
and cedar. Farther back, they ascend into the regions of
perpetual snow, and in clear weather present the grandest
scene imaginable. The town contains a population of about
1,000, a mixture of whites and Indians. This country was
taken possession of by the celebrated Russian buccaneer
Schelehoff, in 1778. The harbour is excellent, and will
easily accommodate hundreds of ships. We learn that the
operations of the Ice Company have produced a marked
effect upon the business of the place. The inhabitants
were peacefully pursuing their daily avocations when the
fleet left. No panic had existed, nor had any of them
fled into the interior. It was reported that Sitka was in
virtual possession of the American Ice Company, who reported
that the Russian inhabitants, after learning the intended visit
of the allied fleet to the place, notwithstanding the treaty of
protection, abandoned the place and fled into the interior.
We learn that the Ice Company was in a starving condition,
having been in daily expectation of a vessel from San Fran-
cisco loaded with provisions. This was nine days ago, and the
vessel had not arrived when the fleet left. Nothing had been
heard at Sitka of the ship Zenobia. From the above facts
we presume no ice will be received in town for several days to
come, and a similar state of affairs with that of July, 1852,
be experienced.
The San Francisco Transcript furnishes some further
particulars. " The fleet arrived at Sitka in twenty-three days
from Petropaulowski, and sailed on the 13th instant, for this
port. The number of soldiers in the place never exceeded 100
men, who were kept there merely as a protection against
the Indians, and the fortifications, it was well undestood, were
intended for no other purpose."
H.B.M. frigate Pique, Captain Nicholson, had sailed for the
river Amoor, the Russian possessions in Asia, and thence for
China. The British frigate Dido and steamer Brisk. were to
touch at Vancouver's Island, thence to San Francisco.
THE BALTIC FLEET.
(FROM THE PRESS.)
IN the Baltic the fleet are beginning to shift their cruising-
ground. The bad wheather has commenced, the blockading
squadron before Cronstadt has already experienced a heavy
gale of wind, and has shifted its berth. The vacillation of the
Government, and the imbecile management of Sir Charles
Wood and his Board, seem to have metamorphosed all our
fighting Admirals into the meekest and most timid of men.
" Impossible," a word unknown in the vocabulary of the last
war, appears to be imprinted on the mind of every Admiral in
this. The Government have spent milions on this Baltic
fleet; they had all the vast resources of the country at their
disposal, and all the experience of '54 to guide them, and yet,
in a whole summer, they can only achieve a single bombard-
ment of an arsenal and capture a few paltry vessels !
Sir Charles Wood and his Board seem bent upon blunders.
No sooner do they discover, in the last week of the season for
active operations in the Baltic, that the contemptible supply
of mortars which they originally sent out to demolish all the
Russian fortresses have been used up in a partial bombardment
of the first, than they immediately order a ship round to
Woolwich, load her with mortars, and despatch her to the
stction. Very admirable energy, under ordinary circumstances,
but, in the face of their Admiral's declaration that the season
was too far advanced for any further operations, and that the
mortar-boats were en route for England, very questionable
management. Arrived at Kiel, this ship, the Sanspareil, lay
there for some days with the mortars in her hold, when,
as might have been expected, came an order from Admiral
Dundas for her to return home at once, as the mortar-
boats had left the station, and the weather was too bois-
terous for further operations. So, home comes the Sans-
pareil, no market for their mortars being found in the
Baltic. This playing at cross purposes between Admiralty
and Admiral betrays a want of unanimity of action and con-
formity of plan disgraceful to the administrative ability of
"My Lords. The official " cat," in this case, clearly resides at
Whitehall. Admiral Dundas, some weeks before, had stated that
the season was over for operations ; but the Admiralty hoped,
by this display of unwonted energy, to cover their primary
discreditable mismanagement in not having supplied the fleet
with an ample reserve of mortars in the first instance. This
very "weak invention" is seen through at a glance. We
never had a very high opinion of the administrative talents of
the present Board of Admiralty; but their management of
the home resources for the supply of the Baltic fleet this year
inflicts more disgrace upon them than any of the previous
many maladministrations they have been guilty of in their
official career.
MR. CHARLES DICKENS is expected to give a reading for
the benefit of the Mechanics' Institution at Sheffield, during
the month of December.
A BALLOON, sent up at Sheffield a few days ago, travelled
as far as Chard, in Somersetshire, a distance of about 200
miles, and occupied only about two hours and three quarters
in the voyage.
THE Bristol Gazette states that a skeleton, supposed to be
that of woman, has been discovered by some workmen, about
a foot below the surface of the ground, at Banwell. Some
suppose the person to have been murdered, but there is at
present no evidence to warrant the conclusion.
THE Paris Pointe says that the Czar is endeavouring to
re-establish his former friendly relations with the Helvetic
confederation, which have been estranged since 1848, when
the Emperor Nicholas refused to recognise the new federal
constitution..

HER MAJESTY'S JOURNEY TO
SCOTLAND.
ON Wednesday, the Court left Osborne for Buckingham
Palace. On her arrival, her Majesty gave audience to the
Duke and Duchess of Montpensier.
The Queen and. Prince Albert, with the Prince of Wales,
Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princesses Alice,
Helena, and Louisa, left Buckingham Palace at twenty-five
minutes to eight o'clock on Thursday morning for Holyrood,
en route to Balmoral. _ _ _
The royal suite consisted of Lady Churchill, the Hon.
Beatrice Byng, Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, Major-General
the Hon. Charles Grey, Mr. Gibbs, and Sir James Clark.
The Royal party occupied four of the Queen's carriages, and
were escorted from the Palace to the King's-cross station of
the Great Northern_ Railway by a detachment of the 3rd Light
Dragoons, where a special train was in readiness to convey
Her Majesty to Edinburgh.
Earl Granville joined the Queen at the station, and will
attend Her Majesty to Balmoral.
The Royal train arrived at York punctually at the time
appointed—viz., 12 42 p.m., and Her Majesty, His Royal
Highness Prince Albert, an the Royal children, on alighting
from their carriages, were hailed with hearty cheers from the
large concourse of persons assembled within the station to
witness the arrival.
After a most enthusiastic reception, the Queen took the
arm of her Royal Consort, and was escorted by the Lord
Mayor to the Royal Station Hotel. The Royal party entered
amidst a renewed volley of cheers, and proceeded direct to
the apartments specially set apart for their accommodation,
where they partook of luncheon. This occupied the royal
party half an hour ; and, precisely at a quarter after one
o'clock, her Majesty and suite again appeared on the platform,
and were received with a renewal of the plaudits with which
they were greeted on their arrival. The royal train reached
Newcastle a twenty-two minutes past three o'clock, and left
at half-past.
There was a large crowd of people in the station, and her
Majesty, who appeared rather fatigued, graciously acknow-
ledged the cheering.
Prince Albert and the Royal children appeared at the car-
riage-windows, and were saluted with cheers.
The Mayors of Newcastle and Gateshead were in attend-
ance. A sad accident occurred between York and Newcastle.
While the Royal train was passing near Ferry-hill, one of the
railway servants was walking along the footboard of the
-trains filling the grease-boxes. The poor fellow while so em-
ployed was crushed between the carriages and a bridge, and
was severely injured. He has since died. Her Majesty was
informed of the accident before reaching, Newcastle, and ex-
pressed, greht anxiety_ with regard to the man.
The Queen, Prince Albert, and the Royal Family passed
Berwiek at 5.15 on Thursday evening, Dunbar at 6, and
reached St. Margaret's, Edinburgh, at 6.88, seven minutes
before time.
They were received by, the Duke of Buccleuch, Lord Mel-
ville, and Sheriff Gordon. They drove through the Park to'
Holyrood, amidst the loyal concourse, rendered =usually large
by the beautiful evening.
They reached Holyrood before 7, where they were received
by the Lord Provost. The whole way wasf lined by military
and militia.
Her Majesty had to change to an ordinary saloon carriage
at Darlington, from the over-heating of an axle.
THE NE TT-- CASTLE OF BALMORAL.
Winn( his Royal Highness Prince Albert became propri-
etor of the estate of Balmoral, it was found that the old
Castle did not afford sufficient accommodation for the Royal
family during their autumnal visit to Scotland. His Royal
Highness then resolved to erect a new and commodious
building at his own expense, which has been in progress for
about three years, and, although it is not yet finished, the
Royal apartments have been completed so' as to admit of
their being occupied during the present season, _
The new Castle stands on the same level as the old resi-
dence, but is nearer to the margin of the Dee, which, here,
in a semi-circle, sweeps the base of the mountain range of
Craig-en-Gowan2 and forms a large peninsula, • the plateau
of which affords the most perfect privacy for the- retirement
of the Royal famil'c The green terrace within this bend of
the.river, 'though only about 10 feet above the rise of the
water, is composed of light gravelly soil, so porocat and dry
that but little drainage was needed to insure a healthy atmos-
phere; and, constituting as it does- the highest tableland in
Scotla,A, surrounded by magnificent screens of fir and heath-
clad granite, the Royal-residence is all that could be desired
for an autumnal dwelling.
The building is of the• Scotch baronial style of architecture,
modified in some of its details, so as to combine the more bold
and prominent features of the ancient stronghold with the
more domestic character of modern civilization. The design
consists of two separate blocks of buildings connected by
wings, at the east angle of which the massive tower, 35, feet
s-
square, riseto the height of 80 feet, and is• surmounted by a
turret with circular staircases rising to tha height of 100 feet
from the level of the ground. From the summit of this tower
the mountain scenery will be seen to great advantage, and-the
view will be one of the most picturesque which the Grampian
range affords.
The Royal department of the' building occupies three sides-
of a quadrangle, facing the south, the north, and the west..
The entrance porch is on the south side, where the architecture-
is of the simplest and plainest description, while that of the
west and north presents carved corbellings, rope, riband,
ether mouldings—eharacteristie features of the baronial style.
The stones are from a granite quarry on theproperty, remark-
ably pure, and, being smoothly dressed in ashlar work, the-
Castle, at a distance, looks as if it had been hewn out of one-
.44x— hieb _here and thprs... in this nart.
5f Scotland, stand like solitary giants in the purls.
Entering by the main porch, the hall opens to the
corridor, which rens along the centre of the-building,. from
which the grand staircase conducts to the Royal private
apartments on the' first floor; the. dining-room and draw-
ing-room, with the billiard-room and library, occupy the
ground-floor, and, are spacious- and most commodious
apartments. The- private rooms •of the Queen front the
west-and look up the valley of- the Dee on the wild pass of In-
vercauld with its overhanging cliffs-, and the Craig-en-Gowan
mountains in the distance. The apartments- of, his Royal
Highness Prince Albert look to- the south, where the lawn
stretches out to the foot of Craigen-Gowan, and commands
an extensive view of the deer forest. of Ballockbrine ; while the
Prince of Wales's rooms, on the north side, look on, a scene in
which the pastorale. and the romantic are richly blended. The
whole of this portion of the Castle is fire-proof, on the plan of
Fox. nd Barrett, and well lighted, 'with the purest plate glass.
Thefurnishings-of the Royal apartments are of the plainest
and most substantial character. All the appointments are
distinguished by that. simplicity of style and purity of taste
for which the royal family are so remarkable.. The carpets
are. of clan tartan, which is the prevailing pattern of the
drawing-room furnishings, and, wherever an ornament is
necessary to round off an angle or soften a projection, the
flower of the Scotch thistle h.--.used. The furniture is of
African ash, a kind of wood resembling American maple, and
everywhere presenting the same- characteristic of usefulness
which the furnishings exhibit throughout.
To the north_ and east of the royal apartments stand the-
offices, which form three sides-of the square, a spacious court
occupying the aentre, and separating the inferior buildings,.
which are attathed to the eastern wing. In the tower there
will be accommodation for some of the suite, and the servant&
apartments arose arranged that they will have every comfort
that can be required, the whole being calculated to accommo-
date from 1001 to 120 persons. There is a ball room 68 feet
by 25 feet, but, for the present, the suite and servants will
have to reside in the old castle, which is to remain entire until
the new residence is finished, and then it is to be demolished,
to open up the lawn, and permit the ground to be laid out and
improved.
.MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
Tay eighth annual- exhibition of cattle, horses, implements,
&c., cf the Manchester and Liverpool Agricultural Society was
held,on Thursday, in a field near Westfield-street, St: Helen's.
The show was a good one. The amount taken at thegates for
admission was £2lO 175.; and it, has only been twice exceeded
—at Altrincham,. last year, and at Warrington in /853. The
band of the Lancashire Hussars .played during the day.
The show of horned cattle was tolerably numerous, and,.
taken as a whole, of full average quality. There were some-
superior animals in each class, but not sufficient to make the
show one of the first order: The most superior class was
decidedly. the bulls, there being some-really splendid animals.
of each kind. The horses,were numerous, sad good in quality.
Those for dray use were considered superior to those for agri-
cultural purposes ; but the class as a whole, received very
general attention and commendation. There were not many
sheep shown, but they were of . fine quality. The pigs. were
capital, specimens, very few of them being in that state of help-
less obesity which a. few years ago seemed to constitute the
only claim to a prize. The poultry were tolerably numerous,
although many coops were unoccupied, The birds seemed to
be generally good specimens. There was only a small show
of vegetables and. seeds for prizes. The display of implements
was scarcely so extensive as usual at these shows, but many
of the implements attracted mueh attention, being carefully
examined by those practically interested in agriculture.
Messrs. J. Dickson and Sons, Manchester and Chester, ex-
hibited a good collection of seeds, grasses, &c., and there were
a few other exhibitors in the same class.
Three reaping-machines were upon the ground. The judges
had awarded the first prize to that entered by Mr. Plant, of
Elworth-hall, Sandbach 1, and the second to the machine en-
tered by Mr. R. Bell, of Mossbury-hall, near Ormskirk. All
three machines were modifications of Hussey's principle.
The dinner was held in the Market-hall, Naylor-street. at
five o'clock. Upwards of 300 persons sat down, Lord Stanley
presiding. The hussar band was present, and played during
dinner and between the speeches. In proposing the toast of
the Emperor and Empress of the French, the noble chairman
said—This generation has seen, for the first time in 500 years,
the mutual rivalry of France and England united. There is
no doubt that this is in a great part due to an increased inter-
course between the two countries, and to the growing spirit of
civilisation ; but it would be unjust to deny that a large part
of the merit was due to that remarkable man who now repre-
sents and rules the French nation. There are points in the
career of Napoleon upon which we, as foreigners, are hardly
competent to form a judgment ; but there are also traits in
his personal character which Englishmen can feel and appre-
ciate, so long as they value in those who govern the qualities of
a clear judgment, a strong will, and a mind undisturbed alike by
passion and by fear. (Hear, bear.) And even those who may
take a loss favourable and friendly view of the man will
not, 1 presume, refuse to pay a proper and customary mark of
respect to one who has in turn been the guest and the host of
our Sovereign, who is a strong and faithful ally, and who,
under providence, and next to our own right hand, is our
mainstay in the great struggle in which the two nations are
engaged. In his address prefacing the toast of " Success to
the Manchester and Liverpool Agricultural Society," his Lord-
ship dwelt at considerable length on the importance of science
as applied to the various processes of tillage and culture. He
expressed his opinion emphatically, as to the necessity of cul-
tivating to the utmost all the land fitted for cultivation. He
declared his conviction that that man was a wrong-doer, in so
far as the community is concerned, who retains in his hands
or in his ownership, land which he has not the power to im-
prove, but which he has the power to sell. He also alluded
to the necessity of economically applying the sewage and other
manure of large towns, which is at present allowed to poison
our rivers and choke our seas. In conclusion, he urged the
necessity of rendering mechanical inventions and skill avail-
' able for improving the various processes of agriculture,

The completion of the long-protracted negotiations
for the purchase of the Birkenhead Dock property by
the Corporation of Liverpool has been followed, almost
as a natural consequence, by a proposal to incorporate
the two sides of the Mersey, so that Birkenhead shall
become an integral portion of the Borough of Liver-
pool. The subject had been incidentally mooted on
previous 'occasions as a desirable consummation, but
the initiative as a public question was taken at the
monthly meeting of the Commissioners of Birkenhead,
on Tuesday last. The chairman, Mr. JOHN LAIRD,
entered at some length into what may be called the
statistics of the question, the particulars of which we
have given in another column, and moved the appoint-
ment of a committee to confer with the Town Council
of Liverpool, which was agreed to, and on the follow-
ing day a similar step was taken at the monthly meet-
ing of the latter body. So far, therefore, the question
is fairly before the representatives of the respective
parties interested, and it remains to be seen whether
the several committees will be able to agree upon a
plan of details which shall prove mutually satisfactory.
In the speech referred to, Mr. LAIRD sought to obvi-
ate the anticipated objection as to increase of rates by
the statement that while all local rates in Liverpool
were 4s. 41d. in the pound, they amounted in Birken-
head to 4s. 4d., leaving only a halfpenny of difference.
This difficulty may therefore be said to be disposed of ;
but the inhabitants of Birkenhead, whose interests
are identified with the prosperity of the town, are
anxious to ascertain what amount of benefit will be
conferred by the proposed amalgamation, which is not
equally attainable without it. Many of them feel, and
very naturally so, that they are sufficient in numbers,
wealth, and importance, to occupy an independent
position, to be represented in parliament---a privilege
which has been unjustly withheld from them---and to
enjoy all the corporate honours of a borough ; though,
by the way, they have not used the means within their
power, by petitioning the Crown for a charter of incor-
poration, according to the provisions of the Municipal
Corporation Reform Act.
It certainly does appear an anomaly in local govern-
ment, that Salford, so little separated from Manchester,
and in the same county, should be an independent
corporation, returning its own members to the House
of Commons, and yet that Birkenhead, in another
county, under different jurisdiction in every respect,
and divided from Liverpool by the broad estuary of
the Mersey, should be incorporated with the latter
town, and its identity destroyed by being merged
into its powerful neighbour. Then comes the consi-
deration of the advantages to be acquired ; for if
Birkenhead now suffers under a local taxation amount-
ing to 4s. 4d., its condition in this respect will not be
amended by joining itself to a borough which pays a
halfpenny more, with a prospect of increase should
Parliament with ruthless hand seize upon the long-
cherished town dues. These are considerations which
no doubt influence many ; nor will their objections be
removed by the statement to which we have referred,
responsibility of the township debt, which is very
large, will chiefly affect the bondholders, who now get
only two-fifths of the interest owing to them.
In Liverpool, the objections to the proposal may not
be so strong, because the effect will not be so palpa-
ble. It will be merely enlarging the boundaries of
the borough, and admitting an additional number of
Aldermen and Town Councillors into the Council
chamber ; at the same time, perhaps, gratifying that
sense of local pride which appreciates an augmentation
of the town in population and resources. The debt of
Birkenhead, supposing it to be assumed, will be but a
small item in the gigantic liabilities of Liverpool, and
make no sensible difference in the annual charge of
interest.
But great questions affecting the welfare of com-
munities, must not be discussed in the spirit of a
nation of shopkeepers, and every point of difference
weighed with sole regard to its pecuniary value. Liver-
pool has taken a wise and prudent step in the purchase
of the Birkenhead dock property, because it has given
her not only an interest in, but a direct controul over
the vast capabilities for the accommodation of ship-
ping belonging to the port ; and the construction of
the building and graving docks between Woodsid
and Tranmere Ferries was also a most judicious pro-
ceeding, because it was the first step to restore that
trade in ship-building which was lost to the port
through the want of facilities for carrying it on. Bir.
kenhead, with all her advantages in water-space for
docks, was unable to render them available for want
of sufficient capital or credit to effect their comple-
tion,

defect. Her advantages in other respects, as a town-
her out of the difficulty. There are many reasons, no;
doubt, why the inhabitants of Birkenhead may prefer
the dignity of being an independent borough ; but her
resources are forestalled, for her debt exceeds her
power of paying the interest, and hangs upon her as
an incubus, which prevents the realisation of her
assets. In union with Liverpool, all this may be ob-
viated, and the time not far distant when her many
blank spaces will be covered with rateable property,
and her well-designed ground plan of broad streets be
filled up with the houses they were intended for.
There appears to be a kind of lurking suspicion
that, in the purchase of the Birkenhead Docks,
Liverpool only intended to buy off what might prove
a formidable rival in *the shipping business of the
port ; but all such, fears will be set at rest if
the proposed amalgamation be carried into effect.
Liverpool, as the mighty mistress of British Com-
merce, will then be seated on both sides of the
magnificent estuary, outrivalling the vaunted supe-
riority of the Metropolis. A community of interest
will banish all feelings of jealousy, and the streets of
Birkenhead be as much a part of the town of Liver-
pool as are those of Toxteth-park. There will be no
more rivalry than there is now between the North
and South End ; and as every improvement of
Birkenhead will be an improvement of Liverpool—
because the augmented receipts for rates will come
into the common fund---there will be a direct interest
in encouraging a residence in Birkenhead in preference
to the suburbs in Lancashire, which are not within
the Township boundaries.
The negotiations between the respective parties
should, therefore, be conducted on broader principles
than mere reference to a balance-sheet of the several
items which each will have to give or take. It will
be just to neither to weigh the conditions upon the
grounds of so much debt assumed, so much interest
to pay, so much property to acquire, or such and
such liabilities to incur. Birkenhead will, no doubt,
gain a present advantage in the vast improvement of
her trade, in the enhanced value of property, and in
the speedy realisation of the many hopes which have
so long been in abeyance. Liverpool, on the other
hand, will gain ultimate advantages of not less value,
and worthy of achievement, even at greater cost than

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1855.
FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.
MONDAY MORNING.
THE summer season continues to act severely upon "Life
_in.London." The courtly emigrants, who. in vast numbers.
composed a voluntary suite for the recent royal visitors to
France, still linger in crowds among the seductive gaieties of
the French capital, or lounge amid the provincial attractions
of la belle France. The Society of Arts, and all whom it
delights to honour, as well as those who seek reflected honour
from its accidental smile, have betaken themselves to Paris,
and in the course of the present week, it is understood, will
be received at the Tuileries. The savans have broken up
their several bivouacs in the metropolis, and are speeding
with all the facilities offered by steam towards the general
rendezvous at Glasgow, the capital of the Caledonian Becetia.
The Court, and with the Court its royal mistress QUEEN
VlcroßrA, turning her back temporarily upon her southern
palaces, has sought shelter and repose within her Highland
mountain home at Balmoral, leaving cockneydom a prey to
ennui, and the numerous social ailments which follow in its
train.
In such a state of matters, "trifles light as air" assume im,
portance in the general strain of gossip, and of these many a sin.
gular vesicle is inflated and dispersed. Within the last two days
no small amount of anxious discussion has taken place in refer-
ence to a subject which, occurring through some mismanage-
ment, might have been attended with results the most cala-
mitous. This was an account of the dangerous series of acci-
dents which accompanied the royal train on its journey from
the metropolis to the Scottish border. It is long since that
inveterate joker, the Rev. SIDNEY SMITH, said there would
never be safety in a railway train till a director of a railway com-
pany. was7accidentally roasted by the firing of a carriage ; and
not much shorter a time since his jest was almost converted
into earnest by the burning of a bishop. For Thursday last,
however, was reserved the distinction of almost the dread con-
jecture in the destruction of our gracious Sovereign. HER
MAJESTY and the Royal Family, as is well known, left the
King's Cross terminus of the Great Northern Railway at an early
hour on Thursday morning. Notwithstanding all the pre-
cautions, ostensibly taken to prevent accident, or, indeed, to
obviate the chance of even the slightest casualty, it appears
that, not long after the starting of the royal train, it was dis-
covered that some of the axles of the carriages, especially one
of the last break van, were in an unsatisfactory state. When
the train reached Peterborough, one or two of the axle-boxes
had to be washed out. At Grantham the state of affairs was
found to be still worse ; and at this point a man was stationed
on the footboards of the train to grease the axles in the pro-
gress of the journey. From Retford a telegraphic messagehad to
be despatched to Doncaster ordering a fresh break to be got in
readiness. At Bawtry the train was detained five Minutes to allow
the axles—all of which were more or less heated —time to
cool. On reaching Doncaster the last break of the train was
exchanged for a fresh one. Even thus, however, the danger
was not obviated, for after getting rid of the nearly ignited
break, when the train got once more into motion the condi-
tion of the axles of some of the other carriages continued to
excite the most lively anxiety in the officials having charge
of the train, and to call for ceaseless vigilance on their part.
As the train approached Darlington, one of the men stationed
on the footboard, to grease the axles, while engaged in
the performance of his perilous duty, came accidentally in
contact with the girder railing of a small culvert bridge ; by
the collision he was knocked off the train, and was so crushed
and mutilated in his fall as to cause his death in a few
minutes afterwards. This accident was not known
to the Royal travellers till their arrival at Darlington.
On the melancholy fact becoming known, HER MAJESTY
expressed deep regret and warm commiseration in re-
ference to the sad accident. At this point it was found
that the axle of the Royal saloon carriage had become so very
hot, that it became indispensable to detach this carriage from
the train ; and the QUEEN, Prince ALBERT, and the Princess
ROYAL, who occupied it, were compelled to abandon it, and
proceed for the remainder of the journey hi a saloon carriage,
occupied by some of the junior branches of the family. The
chronicler of these seried mishaps adds that HER MAJESTY bore
the contretemps very good humouredly. Fortunately the
remainder of the journey was accomplished without any mis-
adventure, and the Royal cortege arrived at Holyrood about
half-past six in the evening. On Friday morning the Royal
party resumed their journey northwards, arriving at Balmoral
towards nightfall of the same day. As already stated, much
anxious and some angry conjectures have been hazarded upon
the subject of these dangers in the purlieus of the clubs, many
of the sojourners in which, being men of routine, cannot trace
any connection between this perpetual "frenzy of the wheels"
and the operation of any known rule of cross-purposes. All
classes sincerely rejoice to know that the danger was only
threatening and not tangible, although obviously imminent.
The absence of interesting events confers a double piquancy
on subjects of speculative controversy; and this latter kind of
stimulant has been of late rather freely furnished,—the treat-
went of Mr. BAK EWELL by the authorities at the Horse-
Guards, and the gentle passages of letter-writing and pub!.
lishing between St!' CHARLES NAPIER and Sir JAMES GRA-
HAM affording abundant food for surmise and racy conjecture
on all hands. In respect to the former case, general opinion
appears to take the ordinary course in reference to all Crimean
matters, directly antagonist to official usage. The treatment
of Mr. BAKEWELL is generally admitted as original and
unique, whether the statement for which he has been cashiered
be true or false. Mr. BAKEWELL, as an assistant-surgeon, on
an important occasion, the assault upon the Redan on the
18th of June, avers that the preparations made for relief of the
wounded on that memorable occasion were inadequate to the
reasonable expectation of the casualities ; and grossly, ter-
ribly deficient compared with the actual occurrences of that
day. He is himself, shortly after making the accusation, for
it is now all nonsence to talk about its anonymous character,
prostrated by disease, and forced to retire from the Crimea to
Beutari. Here he is officially informed that an inquiry
is to be made into the truth or falsehood of his accusa.
tions. He expresses his willingness immediately to proceed
to the scene of the inquiry, and verify his charges. In answer
to this offer he receives an advice to attend better to his
health, and remain where he is. The inquiry, meantime, pro-
ceeds ; and, after a brief space, he is told his accusations have
been investigated, and proved groundless ; that he himself is
an anonymous slanderer, and, as such, has been dismissed from
his post. Startled, as he well might be, at the arbitrary rapi-
dity of this species of military justice, he applies to have an
opportunity of substantiating his charges, or, at least, of being
heard in his own defence, ere he be punished for a crime
without having even been told it was to be prefefred against.
him. This request is sternly refused ; and he is coolly told
by Mr. Fainznicir PEEL that a man who would make
charges 'against his fellows behind their backs has no right
to be heard in his own defence, or to complain of the injustice
of his condemnation ! The plausibility of this style of pleading
is not sufficient to secure it from the scrutiny of men as disin-
terested as Mr. PEEL. These scrutineers see plainly and
-say boldlYthati:itiaking such a statement is putting a false
colour on the irgaction. Mr. BAKEWELL was not arraigned
on any charge, or, if he had, who knows that he could not
have rebutted the charge ? But whether his averments were
true or false, they could not be fairly said to be anonymous,
as he had given up his name to be used, if requisiteorhen lie
made his criminatory statement ; and above all, when he was
told the inquiry was to be made into the circumstances of his
charges, he at once expressed his willingness to meet the
inquiry and substantiate his charges. He is arraigned, tried,
convicted, and punished for the crimp of laying a " masked
accusation ;" whereas, withdrawing any mask that ever
was held up, he expressed his willingness to come forward
in the face of day and substantiate his accusation.
This surely is in a considerable degree akin to the
Donnybrook measure of justice which first knocks a man
down and then kicks him for falling. The parties whose con-
duct was impeached by Mr. BAREWELL, if innocent, have more
reason to complain than he has. They have been, they and all
men are told, exonerated from all blame implied in the asper-
sions. A court of inquiry which excludes the statement of the
accuser, is not just the first that honourable men would claim
or value a verdict from : but apart from this consideration, in
itself no trivial one, there are other circumstances connected
with the transaction which do not greatly brighten its aspect,
Every one is familiar with the fact that at the time when
matters were at the worst, or rapidly approaching to
it in the Crimea, the intelligence received by Government
from Government officials was of the most satisfactory kind.
All was going on swimmingly and well. The sick and the
wounded were, according to these reports, most admirably
tended. True, the reports of " masked accusers," as the
newspaper correspondents are considered, by Mr. PEEL and
gentlemen of his kidney, were pertinacious in declaring the
state of matters to be the reverse of the official representations.
Investigation took place, not through a military court of
inquiry, but by parties as willing to listen to the accused as the
accuser, and the result of that investigation showed clearly
enough thht the truth was inthe statements of the " masked
accusers," that the deception pertained to the official state-
ments. With these facts staring the public in the face, no
amount of official pertinacity nor any skulking beliiud
the bulwarks of military etiquette will induce a general
belief in the groundlessness of Mr. BAICE,W. ELL'S allega-
tions, or acquiescence in the sentence winca conderans
him unheard. As regards Sir CRABLES NArizE . late
First Lord of the Admiralty, the opinion is pfetty prevalent that
both parties are considerably to blame. By this time, all the
7,?.r1d knows that that official connexion which was inaugu-
rated at the Reform Club, and moistened and cemented by
copious streams, drawn from the inspiring fountains which
play in Bacchanalian groves, has ended in a rupture, and that
the valiant Admiral, whose discretion was doubted ere he
started, but proved in the Baltic campaign, has printed and
published a mass of correspondence with his quondam friend
and boon companion, in which neither cuts a very creditable
figure; while, from its publication, the country_ maysuffer some
detriment. Among the odds and ends of this singular corres-
pondence, is one circumstance which has occasioned much
remark. Sir CHARLES NAPIER alleges that by the same mail
which brought him despatches from the Admiralty, he
received a communication from the Jupiter Tonans of
Printing-house-square, containing admonitions of a similar
character to thosp contained in the Admiralty despatches. A
leader in the Morning Advertiser, in which journal the cor-
respondence, or such portions of it as have been published,
appear, states that the Editor of that paper had the letter in
his possession. The deduction sought by the testy Admiral
and his newly-found friend, from this letter, is, that the Ad-
miralty rules the fleet, and that the Times directs the Admi-
ralty ; a nice state of affairs, truly, on which the Times, with
cautious prudence, remains discreetly silent.
While these foolish exposures tend greatly to discredit the
public service, matters of more serious moment relative to our
Admiralty arrangements force themselves on attention from
different quarters. It now appears certain that the mortar-
boats, furnished as an important supplementary force to the
Baltic fleet, have been so faulty in construction, that they are
already useless, and that the fleet of these lame ducks is on its
way home from the inhospitable north. In Parisian naval,
military, and political circles the rumour is current, and cur-
rently credited, that " the English mortar-boats soon became
useless at the bombardment of Sweaborg, and that their con-
struction and fitness are altogether decidedly inferior to those
of the French boats of the same construction, rendering their
fire less precise and effective." The same rumour adds that,
consequent on the defective construction of these English
mortar-boats, Admiral DUNDAS was forced to oppose a further
prosecution of the bombardment, when pressed to continue it
by Admiral PENATTD, and further that he was ultimately driven
to avow that the deplorable state of his materiel would pre-
vent his renewing the combat. If these obnoxious rumours
prove correct, the vaunted naval supremacy of England is
apparently far advanced on its way towards annihilation.
Such sinister reports as these demand immediate refutation,
if untrue ; if true, instant attention with a view to remedy,
The news and the rumours which each passing day brings
with it from the Crimea, if not sources of immediate apprehen-
sion, are nevertheless so interwoven with portentous urgency
and gloom, as to cause serious uneasiness in quarters not
liable to the charge of fear. The official despatches which for
some time past have reached this country breathe such an air
of uncertainty and hesitation as to give countenance to un-
comfortable rumours of divided counsels among the allied,
commanders. %,t all events, the movements, disposition, and
indicated feeling of the French and English generals give no
token of an expected speedy termination to the siege of Sebas-
topol. General Simpsox writes as if he were laboming under
some undefined and oppressive sense of the actual power of the
enemy, whose resources, we are also requested to believe, are
exhausted in the Crimea. From various sources the people of
this country are taught to believe that provisions of all sorts
are scarce among all the divisions of the Russian army ; but
still we learn from General SIMPSON, that "The enemy have
been concentrating troops, and are supposed to have•received
considerable reinforcements, which probably consist of two
divisions of grenadiers, which have been conveyed in carts
from Bakshi Serai and Simpheropol. From various sources
we learn that the Russians on the right bank of the Tchernaya
are held in perfect readiness for an attack." This does not
savour much of exhaustion. An enemy which could convey
two Russian divisions of an army from a considerable distance,
in carts, cannot be destitute. That army which is held in
readiness for an attack upon another numbering 200,000-men
cannot be fairly looked on as exhausted. The truth is, and every
one here feels it to be so, we do not know, and never have known,.
the actual condition and position of the Russian army in and•
within march of the Crimea. Our armies landed on its shores
without an idea of what was to be encountered, and they con-
tinue in the same unsatisfactory state of ignorance to all
appearance up to the present moment. As in the most im-
portant periods of last year's campaign, we are once more
driven to Russian channels for intelligence. Prince GORTSCIII-
KOFF himself now admits that " the fortifications of Sebastopol•
have been greatly damaged, and that the garrison have
suffered heavy losses." In corroboration of these facts it is
stated, in well-informed quarters, that the fire of the Malakhoff
has been almost silenced, and an extensive breach has been
made in the works of the Redan. The latest published
despatches up to Saturday night intimate a vigorous resump-
tion of the bombardment on Wednesday last at daybreak, and
its steady continuance on that and the following day, with
some show of result, a gratifying incident of which was the
burning of a Russian ship in the harbour, showing clearly
that the guns of the Allies have at last obtained command of
such important points as to reach the shipping.
Last night a great sensation was created all over the metro-
polis, by an announcement from the war department, inti-
mating that on Saturday at noon a combined attack had been
made by the English and French troops on the defences of
Sebastopol. The French were successful in carrying and re-
taining the Malakoff, but the same amount of good fortune-
does not appear to have followed the British attack upon the•
Redan, which General S/MPSON simply mentions as having•
been unsuccessful. The military problem now to be solved is,.
whether the possession of the Malakoff and the Redan (for
the fall of the latter is considered to be ensured by that of the
former), the Allies will be able so to command the chief de-
fences of the north side of Sebastopol as to render the town
tenable. Considerable diversity of opinion prevails on this.-.
point, some of the military authorities maintaining that the
Malakoff is so situated as to command the harbour, and also
to bring the principal northern forts within range of its guns,
Others conjecture that most of those forts are beyond the,
probability of its range.
Among the domestic topics of political importance which at
present occupy attention, is a rumour circulated, " on good.
authority," that ere long there will be further changes in the
organisation of the Ministry ; that a coalition is in the course
of formation against the rule of Lord PALMERSTON, by Lord
JOHN RUSSELL, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Mr. GLADSTONE, and
other members of the Peelite party, along with COBDEN and
BRIGHT, and the tribe of ultra-peace-liberals. It is under-
stood that the policy Of this new coalition, when formed; which
there is reason for believing will be shortly, is to, be the
peaceful prosecution of agriculture, manufactures, and com-
merce. Indeed, the battle-cry of the party was to some
extent raised the other day by Sir JAMES GRAHAM, while
engaged in " the turf-cutting trade" at the commencement of
a new railway near Carlisle. After having turned the first soda
the consistent baronet made an oration, in which he said it
was highly gratifying to his feelings to have been so occupied
that day, " amidst the din of war and the prodigal and fruit-
less expenditure of the public money." Ins a subsequent
speech, made in responding to "the members for Carlisle,"
drunk by the assembled multitude as a toast, Sir JAMES set
himself forward as an exponent of the policy pursued by the
late Sir ROBERT PEEL, and insinuated that, if that right
honourable baronet had been alive, he would have pursued the
same policy as he (Sir JAMES GRAHA* was now following.
This was too much for even a Cumberland gathering to
receive from Sir JAMES GRAHAM ; and a Mr. JAMES, while
disclaiming any knowledge of how Sir ROBERT PEEL would
have acted in the present emergency, reminded the antagonist
of Sir CHARLES NAPIER, that his model statesman had
changed his opinion upon the Corn-laws and same other
subjects, and - plainly demonstrated, amidst the cheers and
laughter of the assemblage, that the peace-at-any-price slogan
of the new coalition would meet only with a derisive answer
from the public.
For a time extending so far back, that it would be unsafe
to pretend a recollection of its commencement, it has been
the habit.. among the profane vulgar of the outer world at
least, to regard the preparations requisite for discharging the
highest legal functions to consist chiefly in the payment of
certain fees to a limited number of respectable elderly gen-
tlemen, and the eating of mutton at stated periods of the day
in Lincoln's Inn for a prescribed number of years. This,
like other prescriptively enjoyed prejudices, is doomed to be
swept away before the rising sun of intelligence. The mem-
bers of the Council of Legal Education have issued from
their Chamber at Lincoln's Inn a document which prescribes
the various text-books and subjects upon which students shall
be examined, and a comprehensive knowledge of which shall
he indispensable to their acquiring a status in the legal pro-
fession. The prescribed course of study is liberal in the
legitimate sense of that much-abused adjective embracing all
the departments of statutory law andlequity. In the selected
list of works on which examinations shall be taken, the
treatises of those who have shown peculiar aptitude and
diligence in the literature of the:profession, as well as in other
walks of literary art, find special favour. This will be at once
understood, when it is mentioned that the works of SUGDEN,
of STEPHEN S, and WARREN form portions of the necessary
cUrriculum. These new regulations, if properly acted up to,
must have the effect of greatly improving the elementary
legal education of our young lawyers ; the practical portions
they must of course derive in a great measure from profes-
sional contests with their elder brethern, and with each other
One is occasionally amused, as well as sometimes puzzled'
at the cad bits of gossippy intelligence which come in sugary
drap3 in reference to the domestic doings of our transatlantic
brethren and sisters. Lively and unceasing mental excite-
ment keeps their energies continually on the stretch. Now a
baby-show engages their attention—speedily an anti-liquOr
law seizes on the wits of the spirited disputants, who proceed
with fists and bludgeons, bowie-knives and revolvers, to settle
the question of individual partialities. Women's Rights Con-
ventions present a sort of safety-valve (or blowing off the
social steam of both sexes, and these, to their credit be it said,
generally end in nothing more destructive than a volley of
very peppery verbal missiles. At Baltimore a new esprit de
puNique has been evoked, a desperate recont re having, as we
are informed, taken place between the rival Fire Insurance
Companies of that peaceful city, in the course ,of which.not
fewer than fifty pistol shots were fired, happily without the
sacrifice of human life. Such active rivalry as this denotes is,
fortunately, unknown among our less ardent candidates for
popular favour.
RIGGING THE BAROMETER.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
" When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war."
SlR,—The above prefix would bear a substitute for the last
word, not very creditable to the honor of the once classic land
of Greece.
A more audacious piece of daring could not well be attempted
on our commercial community than those of the liberties
recently taken with our Exchange Weather-instrument.--
'nether the culprit be Jew, Gentile, or, as currently reported
and generally credited, Greek, I hope our Exchar-ge Com-
mittee will exert themselves to bring home conviction to the
rogue in grain, and proceed at once to his ignominious expul-
sion from the mart of commerce. Assuming the correctness
of what is so confidently stated, namely, that the delinquent
is a native of Greece, the offence becomes doubly offensive
from the recollection of the open and unblushing mani-
festations of pleasure exhibited by those natives at any
supposed advantage gained by our Russian foe, ,and by
their chuckling delight and personal congratulations
at any supposed reverse of the allied arms ;an
offence too long tolerated, and that may meet with a humi.
Hating set-down, if persisted in. With the ancient courage;
the ancient honour also of that classic soil has fled ; and what
was once the seat of arty science, manly courage, and virtue, is
now but a howling wilderness or nest of pirates, brigands,
and shuffling poltroons. A little self-examination, and a few
moments devoted to the consideration of their country and
countrymen and of the humiliating and degraded position it
and they now occupy, morally and politically, among the fami-
lies of nations, ought to teach them reserve, and instil a defe-
rential respect and gratitude for liberties afforded and courte-
sies shown to them in. this country. The guilty individual,
whoever he may be, or of whatever country a native, ought to
be ferretted out and visited with the degradation of an open
expulsion from the Exchange he has disgraced, and the mer-
cantile community he has compromised. It is manifest he
would live by fraud, if it yielded a larger return than honesty
and fair dealing, and the sooner an expurgation of the offen-
sive member is effected the better. The matter ought not to
rest. If discovery be possible, no pains ought to be spared to
realise it, and, once obtained, retributive visitation ought to
follow, if our Exchange is to be preserved from a fall to the
level of degraded Greece, or its members protected from the
suspicion of Greek turpitude and practices. ARGUS.
SUGGESTED AMALGAMATION OF
BIRKENHEAD' JVTTH LIVERPOOL.
THE monthly meeting of the Birkenhead Commissioners
was held on Tuesday last. The- business under consideration
was chiefly of a routine character, and at the conclusion of
the ordinary proceedings the meeting was made special for
the purpose of considering the propriety of opening a com-
munication with the Mayor and Town Council of Liverpool,
as to the incorporation of the townships of Birkenhead and
Claughton with the borough of Liverpool_
The Chairman (Mr. John Laird) in introducing the sub-
ject remarked that a great deal had' been said in the town-
. ship on the subject, and, of course, the principal point at
once arising in any discussion of it was the amount of rates
to which the inhabitants of Birkenhead -would .be liable, sup-
posing an amalgamation with Liverpool to be carried out,.
and the desirability of the lighting, watching, and sewerage-
rates •of the township not exceeding what they were at
present, namely, 35.• in the pound. Comparing their local
rates with those of Liverpool and other neighbouring places,
he found that the rates of the parish of Liverpool (including
the poor-rate) were 44. 41d. in the pound ' • for the township
of West Derby, 35.. ed. ; Kirkdale, 43. 3d. • ' Everton, 3s. ;
Toxteth-park, 3s. llid. Oaten, ls.- 9d."; Poulton-cum-
Seacombe, 3s. Tranmere, ls. 9ide; Birkenhead, 4s. 4d. ;
Claughton, 2s. lid. So that at the present time the rates of
Liverpool and Birkenhead were within a halfpenny of each
other. Supposing an arrangement to be carried out, there
ought to be a stipulation that no increase was made in the
rates of Birkenhead to pay any debt. er Liverpoca: "Another`
point was, that the Corporation of Liverpool ought to adopt
the bond debt, and any other liabilities of the township, and
pay a rate of interest upon the debt to be agreed. on with the
bondholders. The bonded debt amounted, in round numbers,
to £390,000; the ferry debt to £103,000; the township debt
to £251,000; and arrears of interest due at the present time
to £67,000: making a total debt of £511,000. If the corpora-
tion took the debt,. they would, of course, take with it the pro-
perty of the commiosioners in the ferry, the park,. the- market,
and their lands unsold, along with their right to levy rates to
the extent of three shillings in the pound. If such an arrange-
ment were made, he thought that: the corporation would
eventually be no losers. by the purchase. Another point would
be clearly the insisting upon the maintenance of the present
rates of ferryage, as charged by the cammissionerseinstead of
the maximum rates. allowed by the present act of parliament.
Those rates, as fixed by the act, were—for every single person
not a contractor, 2d...; contracts ferone person for a- year, 60s. ;
half-year, 40s. ; three- months, 30se; and for every additional
member of the same family dwelling together ( except lotleers
and female servants), for a year, 205.; half-year; 165.; three
months, 10s. The tolls now charged by the commissioners
were—for every single person, ld. e contracts for one person
for a year, 255.;: half-year, 17s. 6d.; three •months, 1.25. 6d. ;
and for every additional member of the family for the
same time time respectively, 10s., 7s. 6d., and 6s. He
thought that those rates should be fixed as the maximum
in any condition of amalgamation. The neet point raised
was the question of representation. Of course Birkenhead
must possess proper representation in the Liverpool Coun-
cil and the Dock Committee, which would be a sub-
ject of arrangement with the Corporation. The advantages to
Birkenhead of such an arrangement were, first, the giving to
Liverpool, including the docks, such a heavy stake in Birken-
head as to secure a fair expenditure of the revenues there.
The second ,advantage would• be the immediate payment of
interest upon the bond debt,. and the beneficial effect of Liver-
pool credit acting at once on Birkenhead property, instead of
such results being deferredi perhaps, for years, and then an
arrangement of no better character lavingto be come to. So,
long as the interest upon the bonded debt remained unpaid, it
was a grant drawback to--parties desirous -to invest money in
the place. The third advantage would be that of reduchig
the maximum rates of the ferry, and giving Liverpool such a
stake in Birkenhead as to. make it her interest to reduce the
rates still lower-e-say even to a halfpenny. The fourth advan-
tage would be the removal of the present restrictions on
the price of the park and other lands, thus enabling the Cor-
poration to sell it at a moderate price, which must tend to
increase building operations in the township. On the other
hand, the advantages to Liverpool were very manifest. From
Birkenhead they had always had the greatest opposition for
several years, causing them to expend great sums of money-
-in fact, Birkenhead had always been -a thorn in their, side. By
the possession of Birkenhead, they.would get rid of the point
from which all, or most of the attacks upon Liverpool and its
revenues had originated, and give them the Parliamentary
support of the Cheshire side of the water, and of all districts
' for which Birkenhead is the port. The corporation would
thus do away with all the bad feeling and disputes which, for
the last ten. years, has injured Liverpool and • kept back
Birkenhead, allowing other ports to " go ahead" and causing
an unprofitable expenditure on docks on both, sides of the
river to the extent of millions, and in law and parliamentary
expenses of perhaps £200,000-; and it would make all parties,
on the Liverpool and Cheshire shores of the Mersey, have but
one common interest—namely, the promotion of the bade of
that estuary. The advantage to the trading public generally
would be the saving of unnecessary outlay, from both sides
of tho river being placed under one management. To show
the unnecessary outlay that had occurred, he might mention
that, in 1844, the Liverpool Dock debt was £1,600000 ; it was
now £5,500,000, showing an increase, since 1844,. of £3,900,000.
On the Birkenhead Docks the company had spent £1,000,000,
and the trustees £600,000 ; together £1,600,000. The interest
lost upon this was £400,00, making an expenditure of
£2,000,000 together ; which, added to the amount of the
: increase upon the Liverpool Dock debt—X3,9oo,ooo—showed
a dock expenditure on the Mersey, during the last ten years,
of not less than £5,900,000. He believed that, by a judicious
expenditure en the Birkenhead works, one-half of that amount
would have accommodated the increased trade of the port. In
addition to this, there were numerous sums exvended in
railway extensions, which were not productive, owing to the
non-completion of the docks. The trading and manufacturing
public, generally, lost by a useless expenditure in public
works, and would therefore be benefited by any system that
would ensure good accommodation at less cost. There were
various other reasons why an arrangement of this kind would
be desirable. The dock extension question, he thought, would
then be pretty well settled. If they could amalgamate the
two towns—make Liverpool and Birkenhead one—then, he
thought, it would be more to the interest of Liverpool to expend
money in Birkenhead, instead of going to the extreme north
and south with their docks. It would also, in that case, benefit
the freehold property of the Corporation in Liverpool, which
principally lay between St. Paul's Church-yard and the Queen's
Dock. If they came to such an arrangement, he thought they
were not likely to hear any more of either north or south
extension. He (the Chairman) had waited on the Mayor of
Liverpool that morning on the subject of the amalgamation,
and had asked him, if the Commissioners should appoint a
committee to meet the Council, what steps the latter would
take. The Mayor replied that he would bring any resolution
he might enclose to him before the Town Council, as one of
the Mayor's communications ; and the Mayor added that, from
the feeling expressed at the last meeting of the Council, and
in the town generally, he had no doubt the advance of the
Commissioners would be warmly responded to. He, (the
Chairman,) as one who had a great interest in Birkenhead,
would never agree to any arrangement likely to damage the
interest of either the landowners or the householders of the
township. He thought the Commissioners might leave the
matter in the hands of a committee.
After a brief discussion, the following motion was proposed
by the Chairman, and seconded by Mr. Gough :—" That the
subject be referred to the Finance Committee, with power to
negotiate with the Town Council of Liverpool thereon, to learn
the sentiments of the Council, and to report to this board
before Proceeding further." It was carried, with only three
dissentients, Messrs, Cook, Curry, and Whittingham,
