BARON LIEBEG has, for several days past, been the guest of James Muspratt, Esq., at Seaforth-hall, where Mr. Spence, the sculptor, and Mrs. Spence, are also on a visit. Baron Liebeg will attend the ensuing meeting of the British Association. 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. Brown, Shipley and Co. It has only one fluke, and weighs 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. ' s a ssociCHRISTIANati o .w a sA heldso c )I,ni °r T. 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.— Economist. neMsdialy.,ObLegrzeam'sr.ACFoFmAmllliSss. adjudication of bankruptcy in this case.--Mr. Lowndes, solici- ronAer hearing Stevenson,too np place regard o n t Wed- 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 Co. ; Littledale and Bardswell ; and Garnett, Bibby, ssta of thed that so previous conflicting on dafliyc and Co. The hearing was adjourned at this point until Thursday.o On Thursday,-Mr, Bardswell, who represented the proceedpintg, stated statements which had been published with regard to the day, and andand contradictory were the so opposite to the real facts of the case, that he felt it to be duty to his client to apply for a private examination.—His observed that the sittings were at first private, but the public interest and importance attached toe Las so much of 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.; , 1855.

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 the Prince to visit several English ports. The yacht, was to be ready for departure yesterday. 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 t,ion consequencethese as omf enrle hy an flying hundredrumours, m hhi cail;elbhe ae es ho t. been Iu nma ebi le to trace to any trustworthy source. 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. IBY ELECTRIC & INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPHS.,) LONDON, Monday Night. DESPATCH FROM GENERAL SIMPSON. The London Gazette contains a despatch from Genera Simpson, dated August 28th. He writes,—No new attempt had been made to force the Tchernaya. General Sir C. Campbell, with the 42nd, 71st, 79th, and 93rd Regiments now reinforce our extreme right. Fifty guns and the Cavalry are also in service. The 56th Regt. has arrived. The siege opera- tions progress favourably. The enemy have completed the bridge from the north to the south shore, and use it. A considerable increase of troops is observed in the town. The weekly medical report shows a decided improvement in the health of the army. The investure of the Bath took place yesterday. Casualties from 24th to 26th August, inclusive :—Killed. 24 rank and file. Wounded : Brevet-Major R. Warden, slightly; Lieut. T. Bigge, 23rd, slightly . Major C. Higginbotham, 63rd, severely ; Capt. J. Brown, Royal Engineers, severely ; Capt. Hon. R. Drummond, Coldstream Guards, dangerously; Lieut.- Col. Seymour, Scots Fusilier Guards, severely ; Lieut. J. Laurie, 34th, slightly . Lieut. W. %us, 90th, severely; Capt. C. Arbuthnot, Royal Artillery, severely ; 6 sergeants and 137 rank and file. Missing, 2 rank and file. 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,

First Lord of the Admiralty, the opinion is pretty prevalent that 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,

OFFICIAL DESPATCHES. 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".)

THE BALTIC. ATTACK ON BRANDON, IN THE GULF OF BOTHNIA. INTREPID CONDUCT OF LIEUT. BURSTALL. HER MAJESTY'S STEAMER FIREFLY, Ledsund, Aug. 20. On Wednesday, the Ist of August, the two paddle-box boats of the Firefly, and the captain's gig, left the ship at Korsoren, which is at the estuary of the inlet leading to Wasa, and pulled up to Brandon (12 miles), the seaport and great depot for shipping; here they cut out a barque and towed her two and a half miles out and anchored her, when two Russian soldiers (deserters) came off to them and brought infor- mation that the troops had left Brandon to go to Wasa, thinking that an attack would be made on that town. Captain Otter pulled back to the ship on Thursday, when the Firefly weighed, and, after a great deal of difficulty in finding the channels, arrived at Brandon at midnight, where she anchored about 400 yards from the town, and a little island off it, on which were a great many storehouses of tar, resin, and a great quantity of timber. The boats landed on the island, and broke open the storehouses, expecting to find the rigging and sails of the barque, but, failing; in this, they sent a message to the owner (Mr. Wolff) at Wasa, requesting him to give them up, or else his stores would be burnt as soon as the wind shifted (to prevent the fire com- municating to the town). Pending his reply, Lieutenant Burstal went in charge of the two paddle-box boats, and scoured some islands and inlets, where he discovered five vessels secreted. The first was an old schooner, which was hauled out, and, as it was a fair wind, he sent her with two men to the ship, and then went and found four very fine new ships, two barques from 400 to 550 tons, and two brigs about 220 tons, quite new. The owners, seeing our movements, had sent out some men to scuttle them, but they had not time enough to do it, so, having plugged up the holes, Lieutenant Burstal left them in charge of Mr. Bull, in the paddle-box boat, while he returned to the ship to report progress. By this time the schooner was taken alongside the store house island, and a party of men were employed clearing the stores and putting them on board of her. In the afternoon some of the inhabitants had cautioned our people against remaining on the island, as troops were expected every moment. However, no notice was taken of it, and at half-past 7 o'clock Mr. Haim came off with the working party, who were relieved by another party in charge of Lieutenant Burstal. After he had visited the sentries and seen all the people at work, at about half-past 8 o'clock Captain Otter went on shore to see how things were getting on, and while conversing on a conspicuous position on the island, about ten minutes after landing, a tremendous fire of musketry from the houses, sheds, and behind the rocks near the town opened on us ; the rifle balls and splinters of planks flying about like hail, but, fortu- nately, no one was touched. The working party hurried down to the boats, which were near the schooner, and all got safely on board the Firefly, which immediately after the first volley of musketry, opened her fire upon wherever the musketry came from. On the way off to the ship the boats were struck several times. In the hurry consequent on the sudden firing there were left on board the schooner seven muskets. The paddle-box boat (which was away getting a barque out about two miles off) soon came up and opened fire upon the town, .and threw shells into the woods among the troops. The ship was engaged with them from nine p.m. till five the next morn- ing; the enemy's fire was nearly silenced at 11 o'clock, with the exception of a stray shot now and then. The schooner was completely riddled, and hopes are entertained that the muskets are destroyed, for it would have been highly impru- dent to send a boat to her, being within 250 yards of her guns. At six a.m. the Firefly steamed off a mile and a half, and took away the largest barque and burnt the three others she had taken, one pierced for twenty guns. Hav- ing towed the barque out, and anchored near the former prize, it came on to blow and rain. The bad weather continued till Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday night information was obtained that the enemy had received a rein- forcement of 800 men and eight large guns, and that they had twenty-five men killed and eighteen in hospital wounded, but, as the storehouses were not burnt, it became necessary to keep the promise of doing so ; therefore, on Wednesday the Firefly went in and fired at 1,500 yards with hot shot at the island; but some batteries 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. The Precioso, barque, 420 tons; cargo, none; cut out of Wasklot, near Brandon. A barque, 300 tons; cargo, none; burnt in a creek near Brandon ; pierced for 20 guns, not quite finished. A brig, 230 (?) tons; cargo none, burnt as above. A schooner, 230 (?) tons ; cargo none, burnt as above. A flat, 15 tons ; cargo, firewood. A boat, 10 tons ; cargo, salt. A sloop, 20 tons; cargo, 8 tons of salt and 5 bales of cotton.,". The Island Smoltan, near Brandon, having 50 to 70 magazines, containing coals, tar, resin, salt, spars, boats, &c.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. 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. forete this._ .n4t idorngmuaosi in A its u s ru summary,ALt . says:—There yi st 1 hTehe heavyr eis ploarttli l f two weeks to our experience enables us to add to our former have come many Melbourne banks aen tndi kt Adelaide dn e,l haveta hi edoetelpterhoirifacprice tpapers.bhotrehfa the addition the dherhe overland preomrtaiornksoofnthtehire business,g o gold-fields.

Receipts by escort 779,689 737,950 Shipments 930,875 990,757 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.

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. These celebrated Pills are wonderfully efficacious in the follow- ing complaints : Ague Dysentery Piles Asthma Erysipelas Rheumatism (Evil.

What though the sun in beauty shine, And you have countless hoards of wealh; What though the world—all, all was thine, • If you but want the blessing, Health. 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." _ _ _ IMPORTANT.—Some unprincipled Vendors, when asked for Dr. DE ROOS' Pills, have attempted to foist upon the Purchaser other Medicines, or trash of their own compounding, from which they obtain a larger profit.

MR. ROBERT BOYD has been appointed a tidewaiter at this port. BARON LIEBEG has, for several days past, been the guest of James Muspratt, Esq., at Seaforth-hall, where Mr. Spence, the sculptor, and Mrs. Spence, are also on a visit. Baron Liebeg will attend the ensuing meeting of the British Association. 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. Brown, Shipley and Co. It has only one fluke, and weighs 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 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 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. TESTIMONIAL TO.CAPTAIN H. Cox, OF: HE IMPERATRIZ. On the arrival of the Imperatriz at Balaklava, Captain Cox was presented with a snuff-box with the accompanying letter:— . Ai 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 us during the voyage. 'On returning you our sincere thanks, wh 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 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. The turnips and mangel-wurzel we have noticed are consider- ably yobenetrw:thm anßi ,asvecrangßeicsmandAassoreclialtec--JourTnhal. meeting .of 'this association was held on Tbu—rsdaey, annual n theua Bible Depository, Slater-street. Mr. M`Fie. presided, and thanked the -meeting for the honour done inmzh-sending him amsena theirc hrriepstrieasnenAtastaiavceiaattian in the conferenceparis. The hon. t hseecYreotuairl 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.

BROMLEY'S PATENT EMPIRE SOAP, 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. • To be bad 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- place; Mr. William Davies, grocer, 58 Mill-street; Mr. David Drew ship-store merchant, 40, Waterloo-road ; Messrs. Scott and Taylor, ship-store merchants, 28, Mason-street ; Messrs. Buttner and Schonstadt, ship-store merchants, 11, Hurst-street; Mr. W,H..Mayland, ship-store merchant, 45, Regent-street. One ic-iiii will prove the superiority of this soap:'' W. OKILL & CO.

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. THE WATERPROOF TWEED CLOAK, From 9s. 9d. NEW AUTUMN MANTLES NOW READY.

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

MEDICAL ADVICE. 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, M.D. Pamphlet on debility gratis, on receipt of two stamps for postage. RUPTURES.

CAPTURE OF P_ET_ROPA.ULOWSEL 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.

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.

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.

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.

Ounces. Ounces. Receipts by escort 779,689 737,950 Shipments 930,875 990,757 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 been in i Aabnydssiisn niaowforstixy tygrigs,hits livingysetialrlso f a teh. e rße Besides dcehs7;oefs ea -three Englishmen, there are no Europeans in all Abyssinia.

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 ii,od a lnysiwn e on h ihsa id) etdh ei indoor oao rs ol epeepni en dg. posture, The dec ebauste dq uwi• at es induced his housekeeper to go up and call him, and, upon re- ct he ievni nfgo 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- 4,CI4DGIITO/i HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 7 ' exhibition of this society was held on We - %hen, 1, The afternoon having proved „,:ikti!)ar... .......:..., ..,,,,; „ei +iv ficc4,l- - 11(ffasflic;iiable, and whallicrarnesnili'lLud iiiii fir cnoillirttallptruhriscl specimens.

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- cipal bed having been discovered at Quincy, in the department of Seine and Marne. But it is in the smallest of the circles— the lower one, two metres round—that the most exquisite workmanship is visible. There is there a bunch of lilacs, made of small amethysts, that would be a coiffure for the queen of an eastern tale • there are bright blue butterflies in lapis, forget-me-nots Of turquoise, and lilies of rock crystal, that dazzle you with their prismatic flames. Then, too, the way in, which each fruit or flower is mounted is a marvel in itself. Here silver is used, there gilt bronze, there the dark-tinted bronze of Florence, on the contrary, according as each colour suits best the opal of white currant or pale grapes, Um. violet of the plums, the moss roses of pink quartz, the cornelian apri- cots, or raspberries of garnet of blood-red.

THE BOMBARDMENT OF SWEABORG. 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.

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 appears troml r.Tp.riGnießdaornlotwh.ec2allcstuluaittiemd too, amnidslleaads ktl,ieinpcuohmlic. 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.

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,

SIR CHARLES NAPIER is publishing piecemeal the letters of Sir James Graham, with characteristic disregard of " private" marks, the order in which they are written, or the inconclusiveness of partial extracts. AIRS. MARY ANNE AYLESBURY, a member of the Society of Friends, residing at Peckham, poisoned herself with arsenic on Friday, telling her husband, shortly before her death, " that the devil had tempted her to take it." --- - AN inquest has been held on the body of Mr. Feargus O'Connor, and a verdict ascribing his death to natural causes returned. A Mr. Roger O'Connor, a relative, made a charge of ill treatment, for which there did not appear to be the least foundation. THE Rev. Christopher Smyth, one of the curates of St. Nicholas, Yarmouth, has lately ascended to the highest point of Mont Rosa, hitherto deemed inaccessible ; and has since succeeded in reaching the summit of the monarch of moun- tains, Mont Blanc, by a new rout, and without the aid of guides. RAucir has just completed the monument of the late King of Hanover. The dead monarch lies on the sarcopha- gus in an Hussar dress, watched by four angels, two praying and two singing. The statue is of a whiter marble than the tomb. The stern, uncompromising features are softened by the appearance of slumber. THE DUKE OF BUCCLEUCII is about to erect a splendid mansion in Whitehall, on the sight of Montague-house. The cost, it is estimated, will be upwards of £lOO,OOO. Mr. Burns, of Edinburgh, architect, has drawn up the plans. A PETITION in bankruptcy was on Saturday opened against Sir George De la Poer Beresford, Bart., under the style of a dealer in mining and other shares, of 17, Fludyer-street, Westminster, at present an inmate of the Queen's Bench. EMIGRATION from the North of. Scotland to the Canadas continues in full force. About 600 people will shortly leave Aberdeen and neighbouring ports. Agricultural labour has advanced in value in consequence of these thinnings of the population.

THE SEA OF AZOFF. The Moniteur of Sunday publishes the following 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. - ,4 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 com- manders of our vessels congratulate themselves on 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. athe guests,e l:shuorse,ewr were veryicltlzvi formedero.s pabz garlands ,o 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. IBY ELECTRIC & INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPHS.) LONDON, Monday Night. DESPATCH FROM GENERAL SIMPSON. The London Gazette contains a despatch from Genera Simpson, dated August 28th. He writes,—No new attempt had been made to force the Tchernaya. General Sir C. Campbell, with the 42nd, 71st, 79th, and 93rd Regiments now reinforce our extreme right. Fifty guns and the Cavalry are also in service. The 56th Regt. has arrived. The siege opera- tions progress favourably. The enemy have completed the bridge from the north to the south shore, and use it. A considerable increase of troops is observed in the town. The weekly medical report shows a decided improvement in the health of the army. _ The investure of the lath took place yesterday. Casualties from 24th to 26th August, inclusive :—Killed, 24 rank and file. Wounded : Brevet-Major R. Warden slightly; Lieut. T. Bigge, 23rd, slightly ; Major C. Higginbotham, 63rd, severely ; Capt.

Rous, 90th, severely ; Capt C. Arbuthnot, Royal Artillery, severely ; 6 sergeants and 137 rank and file. Missing, 2 rank and file. THE BALTIC. DANTC, St. On Sunday last, the Imperieuse and ColossuZls were7th anchored 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 inside TOlbou4in as close as they could go to the batteries, GLORIOUS TRIUMPH. THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL. OFFICIAL DESPATCH FROM GENERAL SIMPSON. Lord Panmure has received the following tele graphic despatch, dated :--- " CRIMEA, 9th September. "Sebastopol is in possession of the Allies..

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 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,

York yield dralodf th estimatese present ./ 681,3 L°°soirr °inbasAmheerrls.ct thewhTeaßtEasNew total which is 68,000 bushels over that of 1854. 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." .ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE.

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.

DOCK COMMITTEE, 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.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. 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.

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.— Economist. _ . . . 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.-. Pally News. 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. theil wreckaving of whichlostl impeded hererjib-boom, and.hovademehnetrs.o sternn d 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 r edwtphsa assistance.

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- llolft the an opulent ctorardpeosrmateionnooff Bath,that city,aidc onephßa s. —ohf Ma thedrs. 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 the park of St. Cloud. 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."

She tried every known remedy, and had the best medical advice, but derived no benefit whatever.

in a short time after the latter seized 20 of his men, when the Costa Ricans raised 1,600 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 passenger. 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, 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.

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.

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- place; Mr. William Davies, grocer, 58, Mill-street; Mr. David Drew, ship-store merchant, 40, Waterloo-road ; Messrs.

One Trial will prove the superiority of this soap. NV: (SKILL & CO. ON NERVOUS EXCITEMENT, DEBILITY, &c.

CAPTURE OF THE MALAKHOFF. 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 secondond Northern Hospital. There was a suspicion that mate, Alexander Thorn, with whom he lie was taken into had knocked him into the hold, and no evidence to shoe cus- tody, but the jury deciding that there wasldbewas released.—On the how the deceased got into the ho old woman, who lived with body of Martha Craig, a feeble a widow, in Duckinfield-street, her daughter, Ann MeWilliam, died on Saturday.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. • 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 :--- 1854 1855 NewiOrleans, middling . -6/ fair Upland, middling .......... ........ 6 „ fair 6 6,1 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. FRUIT.---Messrs. FLETCHER and FIRTH, in their circular of Saturday, say :--- CIJRRANTS ; The unfavourable reports from the Currant LATEST NEWS. THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. DESTRUCTION OF A RUSSIAN MAN-OF-WAR WAR DEPARTMENT, Sept. 7. Lord Panmure has this day received the following intelligence from General Simpson : CRIMEA, Sept. 5. Our batteries opened fire at daylight this morning. Sept. 6, 5 p.m. The bombardment goes on steadily and favourably, with few casualties on our side. A Russian frigate, supposed to have been set on fire by our rockets, was burnt last night in the Great Harbour. The Moniteur of Saturday announces that the Minister of War has received the following despatch from General Pelissier :--- CRIMEA, Sept. 6, 8 o'clock. A vast conflagration destroyed last night the Russian two-decker Marian, anchored in the roads of Sebastopol. A shell fired from one of our right lines of attack caused this conflagration, the flames of which lit up all our camps. __ _ CRIMEA, Sept. 6, 10 p.m. Our fire against the place continues under favourable conditions. Our losses are very small. Nothing new has occurred on the lines of the Tchernaya. The enemy is not preparing any movement there. CRIMEA, Sept. 7, 10 p.m. The fire of -our artillery has been kept up for the last 24 hours. A French shell set fire to-day to a Russian frigate, which is burning at the present moment. CAPTURE OF THE MALAKHOFF. WAR DEPARMENT, Sept. 9. 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- pol this day at 12 o'clock. The assault on the Malakhoff has been successful, and :the work is in possession of the French. The attack of the English against the Redan did not succeed. TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES. The Sii;i,;hlUl7;left Constantinople on the 30th of August, arrived at Marseilles on Saturday. 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. The Mentor has left for Constantinople. 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 WAR IN THE CRIMEA. 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.

FINANCE COMMITTEE 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. LEconsideY-MOrOedltEtheMe.ffPe.a.rtWo-aisinaifxrianidg thpatthlleirt.,,B,oencinues_ett hadMnr.otßwßAelf 1.•• • • • • 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. o. theße Councilnnett,g generallysug; anesdtiothnesiNeleAmyeodnthoamvieifgt rthuleed thatwiss Aflr. amendment. could not be put without notice„Mr. Hornby's resolution was unanimously carried. FRA.WCEIs LIGHTING, rinE-rokicE, AND FIL.I.7.PREVENTION COAZIITTEE. 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.

OFFICIAL DESPATCHES. 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".)

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 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 from the level of the ground. prom the summitrofthis• toner. the mountairoseenery will be-seen to great advantage, and the view will be one of-the most pictdresque which: the Grampian range affords.

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,

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD 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..

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD . 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,

LIVERPOOL AND BIRKENHEAD. The completion of the long-protracted negotiations for the purchase of the Birkenhead Dock property by the Corporation of Liverpool has been followed, almost as a natural consequence, by a proposal to incorporate the two sides of the Mersey, so that Birkenhead shall become an integral portion of the Borough of Liver- pool. The subject had been incidentally mooted on previous 'occasions as a desirable consummation, but the initiative as a public question was taken at the monthly meeting of the Commissioners of Birkenhead, on Tuesday last. The chairman, Mr. JOHN LAIRD, entered at some length into what may be called the statistics of the question, the particulars of which we have given in another column, and moved the appoint- ment of a committee to confer with the Town Council of Liverpool, which was 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, oinp:i at anir d se only equallyLi verh p eor o hasowelb. powerful l been unavailablee n neighbour called f uponromt h ewho a mtsos cueapnpc supply sithe t 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 [SEPTEMBER 11, 1856• _____---- all the bond debt of Birkenhead.

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,
