PROVISIONS. LIVERPOOL, . SEPT. 28. The transactions in beef for the week are to a large extent, at steady prices ; the stock is con- siderably reduced, and the lower qualities have become scarce. For pork there is a steady demand, and advanced prices have been made, with-sales to a fair extent. Very high 'prices continue to be made for bacon by the dealers, and there is but little now left. The stock of lard in first hands is quite exhausted ; an advance of 3s to 5s per cwt. has been made, with sales reaching to about 150 tons. Pine cheese is, in fnirrequest, but ordinary qualities are difficult to sell. OCT. I.—The transactions in butter last week were to a fair extent, at very full prices, and generally an advance of is per cwt. was obtained. Choice southern brands were sold at tots to 7038, and good useful second class sorts at 96s to 99s per cwt. landed. The import is large, particularly from Cork, but the rates current in all the Irish markets caused holders to show great firmness at the quotations. Waterford and Dungarvan, 99s to 103 s; Kilkenny, Carlow, Carrick, Wexford, and Clonmel, 995 to 101 s; Limerick, 95s to 98s; and Sligo, 95s to 995 per cwt. landed. Imported from „Ireland from the 21st to the 28th ultimo, both inclusive, 16,224 firkins, 102 kegs, 665 crocks, '233 boxes, and 163 barrels butter, 12 bales acon, 1 hhd. and I tierce hams, 14 tierces and 121 kegs lard ST.

MUSIC AY]) THE DR,VIA. ,-.lter-Trce- Rceue.e.,Anrruz,--mrs.-Tse.,-the performances clurigg: the past week have been graced by-the lady-like accomplish— ments-and graces of Miis-Vandenboff's personations of-matis:- of. her favourite. characters.. Among other of the attractions• held out was ar new-play entitled "Love and Loyalty," from, the pen of Mr..W. 3; Robson, This piece was produced esi Wednesday evening, for.the.first time in Liverpcol, and it was.- repeated on Friday. As a drama it is stilted and. unequal, the dialogue now scaring into the-realms of high poetic mysteries,- in-which stars of watery and, of arid lustre cut conspicuous fuses ; the style and . thong/it recalling forcibly to mind a mosaic.in which the sentiments-of authors, acknowledgedly of high repute, are made to, doyicarious duty for the 'Anreclaimed ideas of Mr. Robson. In close contiguity with these is fre= quently a cumbrous -crop of such commonplaces as -leave no • doubt of their paternity. "-Love-and Loyalty" is unquestion- ably " a thing of shreds and catches," very tastelessly.und un— skilfully put together. If file play was indifferent or bad, it received but little advantage from the style in whichit was acted . the rant was more fully ranted, and the commonplace. made still raoreeommonplace by tile noisy and frothy. declama- tiors of Mr. Loraine; while few of the company dial much to rescue it from,conderenation.. GRAND CONCERT AT TIE : ROYAL AMPHITREA7 morrow evening a grand miscellaneous concert is to be given: at this house by the leading artistes who so ably performed in the Italian operas recently given. in the Theatre Royal-. The. charges for admission on thiseecasion are low, and we are glad to learn, from all which can- he guessed, the house will :prove a bumper. The entertainment deserves that such should be the • ease. TAE ESTATE OE MESSRS. HOLMES. THE ISLE.OF MAN BANK. MR. MOMAS Avisox,_of-this town, one of the exeoutors.of the late Messrs. Holmes, in. a. letter to the Manx Swe gives. the following statement as.. to the present position, of the estate, and the prospects. of the; eireditors :- 1 might take objection: tothe spirit and tone of some of the• comments contained in such letters; but I pass- these over, attributing them to the •natural anxiety which is-felt by the, Maux creditors upon the.. subject of the proceedings .in this. country ; and with a view to allay in some measure this, anxiety., I beg, through, you,. to inform the creditors of the, present position of the- antics. of the late Messrs.. Holmes. in this country. The creditors of the late Messrs. Holmes mey be divided into the following classes 4— - let. The noteholder3, 2na. The depositorsdn the Isle of. Man and., this.. county; and; 3rd. The private ereditors of each of the partners,.in which light may be considered the members of their family for whom the late Messrs. lichneswere trustees. Ist. With respect to: the noteholders. The• rights and claims of these parties.are at present a matter of litigaßou in your courts, and the.probability is that such:rights may ulti- mately have to be decided by the privy council, on appeal ; but until these rights, are• decided, nothing cam be done as to the disposal of the rial,property inthe Isle of Man. 2nd. The depositors and ordinary partnership creditors have, it is presumed, by. this time, brought in: their claims before the Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood's. . chief clerk in England ; and it is expected that his certificate, setting forth the names and amounts of such creditors,. will -shortly be issued. 3rd. With, respect to the debts due, to the relatives of Messrs. Hanes, for whom they were• trustees. Some con- siderable delay has arisen in ascertaining the amounts due to these parties, and in order to do this it has been necessary to file additional bills in Chancery, for the purpose of investigating the accounts. It will yet take some time to pass these accounts, in consequence of the very loose way in which Messrs.. Holmes kept their books.. There can be no doubt, however, that there is a very considerable amount due to these• parties, and that in fact they will form some of the largest creditors. , With respect to a balance sheet, as suggested by one of your correspondents, I beg to say that an account of all moneys received and paid by me previous to the appointment of a receiver has been rendered by me upon oath, some time ago, to the Court of Chancery, but such account has riot been passed, in consequence of the Vice-Chancellor's chief clerk having been engaged in investigating the claims of the depo- sitors. I expect, however, that my accounts will be passed soon after the offices re-open, in October. Since a receiver was appointed, my duties have in some mea- sure ceased, but he is bound to submit half-yearly accounts of his receipts and payments, and he has already rendered two accounts and paid the balances upon such accounts into the Bank of England to the credit of the suits. The principal portion of the personal estate which has been collected in this country by myself has also been paid into the Bank of England, and at this time there is about £40,000 in the bank to the credit of the suits in Chancery, which has been invested in the consols. No portion of the real property in England has yet been realised. The preliminary steps, however, are now bein g taken, and I expect that in the course of next springthe whole of the property will be offered for sale. And now, as to a dividend, I wish most sincerely that I could promise the creditors an early dividend ; but I fear that vari- ous causes will prevent this, and one cause among the rest arises from the state of the laws of your island which preclude any portion of the assets there being distributed within a period of three years from the death of the testator ; for the Court of Chancery will not sanction any dividend of the funds in the bank until it has ascertained what sums have been re- ceived by the different classes of creditors out of the funds in the Isle of Man, so that it may be in its power to put all the creditors upon a fair footing. I regret that it is out of my power to give any idea at pre- sent as to the probable amount of the dividend, as this must necessarily depend upon the view which the courts here may ultimately take of the relative claims of tile noteholders (who claim to be paid in full), and also of the assets, and the claims of the private creditors of each of the brothers.

The prizes were eight, varying from £3 3s. to £l4 145., giving a total of rather over £6O. The children were brought from all parts of the kingdom. One baby had carried a prize at Boston, in Lincolnshire, about a month ago. The grandson in arms of a late M.P. for one of the metropolitan boroughs was the winner of a silver teapot. THE pupils of the Rev. Mr. Ramsay's school, Hayman's- green, West Derby, on Wednesday presented Mr. W. R. Burgess (son of Dr. H. Burgess, the editor of the Clerical Journal, and Journal of Sacred Literature), who has for the last two years acted as Mr. Ramsay's assistant, with a handsome timepiece as a token of their appreciation of his judicious instruction, and uniform attention and kindness towards them ; as well as of their regret at the severance of the connexion which has so long subsisted between them. SUDDEN DEATir.—On Wednesday, an old man, named James Price, expired very suddenly at his residence, in No. 17 Court, Saltney-street. He was engaged as shipkeeper on board the Coronet, lying in the Bramley-Moore Dock, and a short time before his death had partaken of a hearty supper, and appeared then to be in good health. Soon after he went to the ship he was going to slacken a hawser, when he was suddenly seized with a fit and coughing, and, though he was immediately carried home, he died before a medical man arrived. A MAN KILLED BY A BULL.—On Tuesday, James Carroll died at the Royal Infirmary from injuries which he received from a bull. The deceased was about sixty years of age, and was employed on the farm of Mr. Peter Pilkington, at Aller- ton. On Saturday he was taking a bull into the shippon, and struck it with a pike. This seems to have irritated the ani- mal, for when the deceased went, shortly afterwards, to put the chain on, it turned upon him, knocked him down, fell with its knees upon him, and gored him in the bowels. When taken to the infirmary, it was found that he was suffering from lacerated wounds on the abdomen, and he expired on Tuesday. A DANGEROUS PLACE.—On Tuesday, the coroner held an inquest on two boys, named Thomas Valentine and Roderick Pinto, who were drowned on Saturday in the Old Graving Dock, near the Potteries, at the south end. Inspector Camp- bell stated that the place was a very dangerous one, several persons having lost their lives in it. Mr. Fresh, the inspector of nuisances, stated that it had formed part of the Hercula- neum estate of the Birkenhead Dock Company, and they could not interfere with it; but now, having come into, the hands of the corporation, it would be either filled up or suffi- ciently protected by railing. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." GRATIFYING TESTIMONIAL.—We copy the following from a New Zealand paper:—" The steerage passengers per ship Grassmere, of Liverpool, from London to Port Cooper, have written a letter to the commander, Captain John Yeo, express- ing their feelings of gratitude for his great kindness and attention to them during the voyage. The cabin passengers have acknowledged their appreciation of his worth in a simi- lar manner, and have also presented •him with a very hand- some diamond ring, bearing the following inscription :--` To Capt. John Yeo, from cabin passengers per Grassmere, from London to New Zealand.' " TEMPERANCE FESTIVAL.—On Monday last week, the workmen and friends of Mr. Samuel Quilliam, Elliot-street, sat down to a sumptuous repast, to celebrate his 21st anniver- sary as a tee-totaller, in Hope Hall, Hope-street. The chair was filled by Captain Cushing, of the Sailors' Home, who said he had been a total abstainer for the last ten years. Mr. Quilliam spoke at considerable length, showing, by reference to his own personal experience, the great benefits of total ab- stinence. He had been a total abstainer from all intoxicating drinks, tobacco and snuff, for 21 years, and was benefited in body, soul, and circumstances, showing that it was the best means to promote health, wealth, and prosperity for the working man. The meeting, which numbered about 100 individuals, was much enlivened by various pieces sung by the choir of the " Band of Hope." STABBING.—A striking instance of injury inflicted under the effects of ungovernable passion was heard at the Police- court on Wednesday. John Robinson, a middle-aged, dimi- nutive carter, living in Chaucer-street, Rose-place, was charged with stabbing Mr. Hughes, a joiner, who resides at No. 28, Great Homer-street. There had existed some ill- feeling between the parties in consequence of the prisoner entertaining a jealous feeling about his wife and Hughes. On Saturday evening, a little after six o'clock, Hughes went to the lodgings of Robinson, and some angry words arose between them. They quarrelled and fought, and the prisoner rushed at Hughes, knocked hint down, stabbed him in four places in the back and right side, and then threw him down a flight of stairs. The noise attracted the attention of George Swaine, a bottler, who lodged at the same house, and he went for assistance. He soon returned with police-officer Duckett, and they found Hughes lying in a channel outside the house, wel- tering in his blood. They took him to the Northern Hos- pital, where he still ies in almost a hopeless state. BANKRUPTCY COURT.—On Thursday, before Mr. Commis- sioner Stevenson, Samuel How, late of the firm of How, Hat- ton, Green, and Co., cotton brokers, of this town, came np for his certificate. He was unopposed, and obtained an imme- diate certificate of the second class.—The last examination of Anthony O'Donnell was adjourned until the 11th October. —Before Mr. Commissioner Perry, Louis Ahlborn, toy dealer, and William Backhense, passed their last examination unop- posed, and the certificate meeting was appointed for the 24th October in each case.—George Bateman, printer and hotel- keeper, of Liverpool, came up 'for his certificate. He was opposed on the ground of an alleged fraudulent preference 'by the bankrupt to his wife's aunt, after having agreed to pay Mr. Roose a :monthly sum in discharge of his debt, by which the aunt was enabled to carry off the whole of the bankrupt's assets, to the prejudice of all his other creditors. Another ground of opposition was the absence entirely of book-keeping so far as the hotel wss concerned. His Honour said that on the first ground of objection alone the bankrupt deserved punishment, and as far as he could see he had acted unfairly towards Isle •creditors in reference to his books. The certifi- cate would 'therefore be suspended for two years, and when granted, to be of the third class, FUNERAR, .or TUE REV. J. J. HORNBY.—On Saturday week the funeral of the late rector of Winwick took place, the procession leaving Winwick Hall, about eleven o'clock, in the following order :—The clergy, amongst whom were the Revs. John Cross, Oswald Penrhyn, J. Slade, D. M. Boyle, Philip Champness, Ellis Ashton, Prank Hopwood, and Edward Hornby ; Mr. Sharp, of Warrington, the medical attendant of the family, and Mr. Beamont, solicitor; the coffin, borne by the tenantry:; Messrs. Cunningham and Owen, undertakers, Warrington, and Messrs. Garnett, walking by the coffin ; Sir James Hornby, Colonel Hornby, the Rev. William Hornby, Edward Hornby, Esq., the Rev. Edward Hornby, Geoffrey Hornby, Esq., and Captain Hornby, were chief mourners. The Lord Bishop of &dor and Man and the Right Hon. Lord Lilferd, Colonel Stanley, and'Adam Hodgson, Esq., John Daly, Esq., and Mr. Penrhyn, Mr. Milein Selby (agent to Lord Lil- ford,) and Mr. W. Hale (agent to the Earl of Derby,) the male and female-servants. The coffin was made of polished Wisawick oak, and bore the following inscription : The Rev. James John. Hornby, Rector of Winwick ; born nth August, 177:; departed this life September 14, 1855. The funeral sermon was preached by. the Bishop of Sodor and Man, who was assisted in the preliminary service by the Revs. Mr_ Gibson and Mr. Pigott. The church was filled with pa- rishioners, who appeared to be deeply affected at the loss of their excellent pastor. The deceased rector was the son of the Rev. .Geoffrey and the Hon. Mrs. Hornby, sister of the late Earl .of Derby. He was educated at Eton and Cambridge, and commenced his ministerial career as curate of Penwortham, near Preston, receiving the gift of the living of Winwick from the late Earl of Derby, on the death of his father, the Rev.. Geoffrey Hornby, about the year 1812. His loss will be se- verely felt by his parishioners. DOCK COMU/TTVE. —Mr. C. Turner presided at the meet- ing on Thursday. An application was made by the surveyor for permission to let the Morpeth Dock run dry ; and in con- nection with the -same subject, a correspondence was read from Mr. Bramah and Captain Hookey, which showed that the other docks, were the water withdrawn from the Morpeth, would not stand the increased pressure without danger to the works, and that one of the channel walls was consider- ably cElapidated. The Birkenhead sub,committee of ware- houses presented a report from Messrs. Whiteman and Hartley, surveyors to the corporation and;dock estate, which consisted, however, of little more than an inventory of the appliances for shipping,,Sze., at Birkenhead, and an announce- ment of the fact that the docks and warehouses were ready for occupation in accordance with the dock act of 1855. A letter frem Mr. Sloman, secretarys to the Birkenhead Dock Company, stating that vorli hadn been commenced for fitting the Birkenhead dock warehouseso with thirteen hydraulic cranes ; Messrs. Armstrong and nery, and little remained to be done hadb put ,up the machi- .hegsned 'the completion of a well and the erection of an engine kw:lt the works had been suspended iu consequence of the re Moses Housley and Co. to proceeed with the well of according ac to contract. The whole of the matters relating toßirrklienig- head were referred to the wanks committee. A letter was read from Mr. Jones, resigning the situation of assistant to the marine surveyor. The resignation was accepted, and it was decided to grant him a superannuation of £l2o.—The Chairman, alluding to the visit of the Duke of Cambridge, suggested that a sub-committe should be appointed to make arrangements for the embarkation, the decoration of the landing stage, and the illumination of the dock offices. The committee appeared to coincide with the chairman in the advisability of appointing a committee to make the necessary arrangements, and to co-operate with the comptroller of customs and the postmaster upon the subject of illuminating the Custom-house buildings. This closed the general business. THE RECENT ComwoN.—The Llewellyn steamer, belong- ing to the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company, which came into collision with the ship Lady Sale, Cook, of St. John's (Newfoundland), from this port for Maranham, on the 22nd inst., lost her foremast, and was cut down to the water's edge. The depositions which have been taken from each party furnish the following details on the subject of their coming in contact :—Captain Cook, of the Lady Sale, says— " The Lady Sale sailed from this port on the 19th, with a general cargo of merchandise, &c., and that the ship was 756 tons. The collision occurred, to the best of his belief, about 4 30 on the morning of the 22nd inst.—it was the second mate's (Mr. Carry's) watch at the time. She was on the star- board tack, beating up the Channel, between Holyhead and Kingstown, wind about W.S.W., very light breezes, with thick foggy weather. About 430 a.m., second mate called on hands. On coming on deck, I saw a steamer's lights about half a mile distant. She was abeam to leeward, steering right for the Lady Sale, all three lights being apparently visible, and coming upon us very fast. I hailed, and so did the second mate and the crew, and the fog horn was blown, but no answer was heard from the steamer. She kept her course, and ran into the Lady Sale's port bow, carrying away part of stem, cutwater, jib-boom, and caused other damage forward. The Lady Sale's anchor was carried away and hooked on to the steamer's starboard sponson, and brought them both up alongside. I jumped on board the steamer, as no person would give her name. I found her to be the City of Dublin Company's steamer Llewellyn, from Holyhead for Kingstown. After lying alongside for nearly 30 minutes, and finding that neither vessel made water, we parted, and I put back to Liverpool to repair the damages."—Captain Kean, of the Llewellyn, says,—" The first I saw was a light two points on the starboard bow, close to. I called out I ' Hard a-starboard—stop her,' which was done instantly. then saw another light nearly right a-head, coming out of the mass of fog. Soon afterwards a large ship struck us on the starboard side, almost half-way from the paddle-box to our stem. She came stem on, cutting us down to the water's edge, carrying away the foremast by the board, and doing other considerable damage. The first light that was seen proved to be on the port quarter of the ship, and the second on the bowsprit end. We lashed both ships together to ascer- tain the damage done to each, cleared away the wreck, and secured the upper works as well as we could, and, finding that neither ship made water, we parted. The Llewellyn, which was carrying the mails-and passengers, reached Kings- town at 7, a.m, IT is said the whole of the streets throughout the borough are to be re-numbered at the end of this year. THE royal mail steam-ship Canada sailed on Saturday for Halifax and Boston, with the usual mails and about 180 pas- sengers. Amongst the passengers were the Hon. Mr. Hincks, of the Canadian legislature. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Saturday last, a man named John Jones, a carter residing in Northampton-street, was suddenly seized with pains in his bowels and with vomiting, and suf- fered so severely that he died in a few hours. Women FOUND DROWNED.—On Sunday afternoon, the body of a woman was found floating in St. George's Basin. She had the appearance of being a market woman, but no- thing was found on her person to lead to her identity. The body was removed to the dead-house. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday night, a little before twelve o'clock, a man, 61 years of age, a ship-keeper, named John Dyer, residing in Victoria-place, Saltney-street, fell down stairs, while in a state of intoxication. He sustained such injuries as to cause his death in about two hours after- wards. . _ A HANDSOME silver snuff-box is now in the shop window of Mr. Hausburg, Church-street. It bears the following inscrip- tion :—" Presented by Lieutenant-Colonel Oakeley, and the officers of the 56th Regiment, to Captain H. T. Cox, com- manding the steamer Imperatrice, in testimony of their high appreciation of his kindness and attention during their passage to the Crimea. August, 1855." ON Sunday morning, about half-past ten o'clock, as a female was standing in the roadway of Soho-street, a horse and shandry passing at the time knocked her down. The driver was able to pull up in time to prevent the wheels of the vehicle passing over her body, and she escaped with a few bruises about the head and face, and was able to walk home. LAUNCH OF A. SCREW STEAMER.—On Thursday there was launched from the yard of Mr. John Laird, at the Dingle, a fine screw steamer, called the Borysthene, built for the Mes- sagerie Company of France, and intended to ply between Marseilles and Constantinople. She is 240 feet long, 33 feet wide, and 23 feet in depth, and will be supplied with two en- gines of an aggregate power of 220 horses, by Messrs. Fawcett, Preston, and Co. IMPUDENT THEFT.—John Macguire, one of the numerous vagabonds who haunt the dock quays, was charged at the Police-court, on Friday, with stealing 251bs. weight of copper nails from the ship Express, lying in the Brunswick Dock. The robbery was committed at six o'clock that morning, while the captain was taking a stroll on the quay. The prisoner, who was well known to the police, was sent to gaol for two months. COLLISION IN TILE MERSEY.—On Wednesday, a collision took place on the river between the American ship Invincible and the Dublin mail steamer Trafalgar. The Trafalgar was at anchor, and the Invincible, which was being towed up the stream, drifted against the steamer, both vessels sustaining considerable damage by the collision. The steamer slipped her chain, and both vessels drifted down the river, but they were followed by some steam-tugs, and got to anchor. THE PEACE OF AuGsnuu6.---The-German Protestants celebrated on Wednesday the 300th anniversary of the Peace of Augsburcr, by which the differences between the Romish Church and the Protestants in Germany were settled, and the free exercise of their religion granted to the latter by the Emperor Charles V. Divine Service, in commemoration of this event, was held in the German Church, Sir Thomas's- buildings, and a very elaborate historical sermon preached by the Rev. D. J. Hirsch to a numerous congregation. The so- lemnisation of the German Reformation will take place, as usual, on the 31st of October, whilst the Peace of Augsburg is commemorated only every hundred years. ALLEGED ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF FIREARMS.—At the Police-court, on Saturday, before Mr. Mansfield, William Whalley, Custom-house officer, was charged with having firearms in his possession for unlawful purposes. Another Custom-house officer, named Jdmes Routledge, stated that a few days age he caused the prisoner to be suspended in consequence of intemperance, and that morning he was informed that Whalley had firearms in his possession. Sus- pecting that he had some evil intentions towards himself, witness gave him into custody, and on being searched there were found upon him a pistol and canister of gunpowder. The prisoner stated that he had taken these dangerous materials from his own children, and that he had no intention of doing the prosecutor any harm. Mr. Mansfield ordered his imme- diate discharge. ALLEGED ILL-TREATMENT OF A DITTCM SEAMAN:—On Saturday morning, about six o'clock, Robert Jones, a night, watchman at the works adjoining Birkenhead Ferry, observed a person floating in the river, at a distance of about 160 yards from the shore, apparently in an exhausted state. Jones promptly obtained assistance, and having procured a boat, rowed to the rescue of the drowning man, whom they found on the point of sinking. He was soon conveyed to Birken- head Ferry, where the usual means were resorted to, and after some time the rescued sailor was able to give an account of himself, although rather unintelligible, on account of his being a Dutchman, and being but slightly conversant with the English language. He stated that a few weeks ago he arrived in an American ship from Baltimore, U.S., and on Friday was shipped by a boarding-house keeeper on another American vessel, for a voyage to New Orleans. The ship was lying off Tranmere Ferry, and af.tbree o'clock he was put on board. Early on Saturday he was roused from his berth and interrogated by the captain and the mate, who took an objec- tion to his proceeding with the vessel, which was then on the point of leaving the Mersey. He remonstrated, but in vain ; and after being severely beaten, he was thrown, along with his bundle of clothes, into the river, and left to his fate, the vessel at 'the time taking her departure for her destination. The immersed seaman endeavoured to save himself by swimming, but his strength failed, and he was just sink- ing when he was seen and rescued by Jones and his corn- ! panion. At the police-office he gave the name of John Bread, 24 years age, but he could neither tell the name of the American vessel from which he had been ejected, nor that of the boarding-house keeper who had shipped him. He was referred to the Dutch Consul at this port. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—At the Police-court, on Saturday, a respectable-looking young woman, named Jane Venables, was charged with attempting to drown herself ky jumping into the river from the south end of the Landing-stage. On Tues- , day she was observed to go on the Landing-stage, where she rolled her shawl round her head and jumped into the river. Her clothes kept her above the water, and some boatmen rescued her before she had been in the water more than about three minutes. She was then conveyed to the Northern Hos- pital, where she remained until Saturdw. Mr. Wall, the louse-surgeon of that institution, stated that when she was received into the hospital she was suffering from the effects of an immersion and great mental distress. When in bridewell she told Mr. Parkinson that she came from Little Walton, about two miles from Warrington, where she had been in the service of a man named Joseph Long 'Shaw, formerly the driver of an omnibus. She left this situation in consequence .of his attempting to take improper liberties with her. Since then she had `been at Eastham ; and on Tuesday she returned to Liverpool, where she met with a woman who offered to carry her bundle for her. The bundle contained three dresses belonging to the prisoner, a shawl, and other articles of cloth- ing, besides a sovereign of money, which was all the poor girl possessed in the world. After getting the property into her possession the woman made off with it, and left her desti- tute in the street. In a state of frenzy, and not knowing what she was doing, she then ran down to the pier, and at- tempted to destroy herself in the way described. As she ex- pressed her regret for her conduct, Mr. Mansfield discharged her, and gave an order for her carriage to be paid back to Warrington, and 10s. to be given to her to purchase clothes with. EMIGRATION FROM LIVERPOOL.—The total number of vessels which have left this port for all foreign ports during the quarter, just ended has been 77, of .an aggregate tonnage .of 85;767 tons, and having on board a total number of 28,362 emigrants. Of these 19,612 have proceeded to the United States, 1,385 to Canada, 327 to New Brunswick, 234 to Sydney, and 6,006 to Melbourne. This number, which, however, does not include those who have taken their depar- ture hi short ships, 'not under Government inspection, shows a diminution of about one-half when .compared with the corresponding quarter of 1854. In the month just ended, the number of emigrants who have left Liverpool for all foreign ports has 'been 9,487, of whom 1,708 only have pro- ceeded to the Australian ports, and the remainder chiefly to the United States. This number is almost exactly one-half as exhibited in the return for the corresponding period in last year. The following are the vessels Ivlieb have been despatched from Liverpool during the mouth, for Australian ports I—The Lightning, of the " Black Ball" mail line, for Melbourne, with 50 cabin and 358 steerage passengers ; Gipsy Bride, of the " Mersey" line, for Melbourne, with 22 cabin and 244 steerage passengers ; Red Jacket, of the " White star" mail line, with 22 cabin and 263 steerage pas- sengers 4 Fortune (Government ship) for Moreton Bay, with 224 emigrants ; Indian ‹ireen, of the " Black Ball" Tine, for Hobart Town, with 90 emigrants ; and the Bee (Government) for Sydney, with 430 emigrants on board. The Schomberg, which wM proceed on her first voyage to the antipodes on Friday neat, under the command of Captain Forbes, went into the river on Saturday. She is rapidly filling with pas- sengers, and will carry out a large number. The metal main- yard has been zompleted by Messrs. Cato,' Miller, and Co., and has been placed on board. It weighs 9 tons, 9 cwt, 171b5., and is thus about 21 tons lighter than the wooden one. Had more time been allowed to the builder, to obtain the right description of iron plates, we are informed that a still further saving in weight, to the extent of 2 tons, might have been effected, without any diminution, but rather augmentation, of strength. The result is, therefore, one of great import- ance, and may possibly lead to the general adoption of iron spars. The dimensions are 112 feet long, 28 inches diameter at the slings, and 14 inches at the yard-arms. LivEnroon Towar Cousr.m.—At the meeting to-morrow, the following subjects will be discussed:—The proceedings of the Education Committee, comprising a recommendation to appoint Jane Elliot first mistress of the North Infant School, at the salary of £5O per annum ; and Sarah Rigby second mistress, at the salary of £3O per annum, being the same salary as that paid to their respective predecessors, the con- sideration of which was postponed at the last monthly council. The proceedings of the Gaol and House of Correction Com- mittee, comprising resolutions of the magistrates, appointing adddttional male and female discipline officers for the new gaol at Walton, in accordance with the recommendations of the magistrates, approved by the Council on the Bth of August last. The proceedings of the Gardens Committee, comprising appointment of John Davies as lodge-keeper at the New Park, at the wages of £1 per week. The proceedings of the Water' Committee, comprising, recommendation to accept the tender of Messrs. D. Y. Stewart and Co., for iron pipes ; recom- mendation to accept the tender of George Thompson, and Co., for the construction of the Knowsley Reservoir, and works, connected therewith; recommendation to enter into an agree- ment with the Chorley Waterworks Company, under the powers of the Liverpool Corporation Waterworks Act, 1847, and for the ultimate transfer of the undertaking of that com- pany to the Corporation. References to a committee or com- mittees of the whole, or part or parts of the Liverpool Im- provement Act, 1855, containing powers for the purchase and appropriation of land adjoining Shaw's-brow, as a site for the Free Public Library and Museum ; and powers to make bye- laws for regulating landing-stages, &c., regulating and licens- ing boatmen, mooring vessels in the river, and with reference to the duties of Water-bailiff. Report of the special, com- mittee on the purchase of the Birkenhead Docks, comprising, recommendation to purchase the North Reserve for the sum of £100,000; recommendation to adopt the principle of incor- porating the townships of Birkenhead, Claughton, Liscard, Wallasey, and Tranmere with the borough, subject to a satis- factory adjustment of details as to each township. The Mayor's communications. The following motion, of which due notice has been given by Mr. Councillor Woodruff :—That it is expedient that the public be admitted to the meetings of the Council, under suitable regulations ; and that it be an instruction to the Law Courts and St. George's-hall Com- mittee to report whether the concert-room, or some other room in St. George's-hall, can be made available for such meetings, and what accommodation can be provided for the public.

HORRORS OF THE RITSSIAN HOSPITAL. Of all the pictures of the horrors of war which have ever been presented to the world, the hospital of Sebastopol its Howsoul tphr ee s pe on t rs thhuemme ho s ht ohdoyr r cani bl e eh e ruttri el ante idn g a ahndd yr ee tv ohl toi hold dg within, when every limb is shattered, and every vein and artery is pouring out the life-stream, one might study here at every step, and at the same time wonder how little will kill. The building used as an hospital is one of the noble piles in- side the dockyard wall, and is situate in the centre of the row at right angles to the line of the Redan. The whole row was peculiarly exposed to the action of shot and shell bound- ing over the Redan, and to the missiles directed at the Bar- rack Battery, and it bears in sides, roofs, windows, and doors, frequentand destructive proofs of the severity of the cannonade. , Entering one of these doors I beheld such a sight as few men, thank God, have ever witnessed ! In a long low room, sup- ported by square pillars, arched at the top, and dimly lighted through shattered and unglazed window frames, lay the wounded Russians, who had been abandoned to our mercies by their general The wounded, did I say ? No, but the dead, the rotten and festering corpses of the soldiers who were left to die in their extreme agony, untended, uncared for, packed as close as they could be stowed, some on the floor, others on wretched trestles and bedsteads, or pallets of straw, sopped and saturated with blood, which oozed and trickled through upon the floor, mingled with the droppings of corruption. With the roar of exploding fortresses in ther ears, with shells and shot forcing through the roof and sides of the rooms in which they lay, with the crackling and hissing of fire around them, those poor fellows, who had served their loving friend and master the Czar but too well, were consigned to their terrible fate. Many might have been saved by ordinary care. Many lay, yet alive, with maggots crawling about in their wounds. Many, nearly mad by the scenes around them, or seeking escape from it in their extremest agony, had rolled away under the beds, and glared out on the heart-stricken spectators, oh ! with such looks. Many with legs and arms broken and twisted, the jagged splin- ters sticking through the raw flesh, implored aid, water, food, or pity, or deprived of speech by the approach of death, or by dreadful injuries on the head or trunk, pointed to the lethal spot. Many seemed bent alone on making their peace with Heaven. The attitudes of some were so hideously fantastic as to appal and root one to the ground by a sort of dreadful fas- cination. Could that bloody mass of clothing and white bones ever have been a human being, or that burnt black mass of flesh have ever had a human soul ? It was fearful to think what the answer must be. The bodies of numbers of men were swollen and bloated to an incredible degree, and the features distended to a gigantic size, with eyes protruding from the sockets, and the blackened tongue lolling out of the mouth, compressed tightly by the teeth which had set upon it in the death-rattle made one shudder and reel round. In the midst of one of these " chambers of horrors"—for there were many of them—were found some dead and some living English soldiers, and among them poor Captain Vaughan, of the 90th, who has since succumbed to his wounds. I confess it was impossible for me to stand the sight, which horrified our most experienced surgeons—the deadly clammy stench, the smell of the gangrened wounds, of corrupt blood, of rotting flesh, were intolerable and odious beyond endur- ance. But what must the wounded have felt who were obliged to endure all this, and who passed away without a hand to give them a cup of water, or a voice to say one kindly word to them. Most of those men were wounded on Saturday—many perhaps on the Friday before—indeed, it is impossible to say how long they might have been there. In the hurry of their retreat the Muscovites seem to have carried in dead men to get them out of the way, and to have put them upon the pallets in horrid mockery. So that this re- treat was secured the enemy cared but little for their wounded. On Monday only did they receive those whom we sent out to them during a brief armistice for the purpose, which was, I believe, sought by ourselves, as our overcrowded hospitals could not contain, and our overworked surgeons could not attend to any more. The Great Redan was next visited. Such a scene of wreck and ruin ! All the houses behind it a mass of broken stones —a clock turret, with a shot right through the clock—a pagoda in ruins—another clock tower with all the clock de- itroyed save the dial, with the words " Barwise, London," thereon—cook-houses, where human blood was running among the utensils : in one place a shell had lodged in the boiler and blown it and its contents, and probably its in- habitants, to pieces. Everywhere wreck and destruction. This evidently was a beau quartier once. The oldest in- _ habitant could not recognise it now. Climbing up to the Redan, which was fearfully encumbered with the dead, we witnessed the scene of the desperate attack and defence, which cost both sides so much blood. The ditch outside made one sick—it was piled up with English dead, some of them scorched and blackened by the explosion, and others lacerated beyond recognition. The quantity of broken gabions and gun-carriages here was extraordinary, the ground was covered with them. The bomb-proofs were the same as in the Malakhoff, and in one of them a music book was found, with a woman's name in it, and a canary-bird and vase of flowers were outside the entrance. DETAILS OF THE ASSAULT, BY THE FRENCH GENERALS. MARSHAL PELISSIER'S REPORT. HEAD-QUARTERS, SEBASTOPOL, Sept. 11. M. le Marechal,—l shall have the honour to send you by the next courier a detailed report on the attack which has placed Sebastopol in our power. To-day I can only give you a rapid sketch of the principal achievement of this great event of the war. Since the 16th of August, the day of the battle of the Tchernaya, and notwithstanding repeated warnings of a new and more formidable attack by the enemy against the posi- tions which we occupy on this river, every preparation was made to deliver a decisive assault against Sebastopol itself. The artillery of the right attack commenced on the 17th of August a well-sustained fire against the Malakhoff, the Little Redan, the neighbouring defences, and the roads, in order to permit our engineers to establish defences close to the place, from which the troops might be able instantly to throw them- selves upon the enciente. ,Our engineers besides prepared materials for escalade, and on the.sth of Sept. all our batteries of the left opened a very violent fire against the town. The English on their side kept up a .hot ,cannonade against the Great Redan and its redoubt, which-they were to attack. All being ready, I resolved, in concert.with General Simp- son, .to give the assault on the Bth of :September, at the hour of noon. General M`Mahon's division was to carry the works of the Malakhoff; General Dulac's division was toattack the Little :Redan ; and in the centre the division of. General Le Motte- rouge was tc•-,march against the curtain connecting these two extreme pointe. Besides these troo.ps, I latul, given tckCienerni

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. like lovers after a quarrel, lay embraced in each other's smile ! SHEPHERD : I could speak for hours, days, months, and years, about the wather, without e'er becoming tiresome. 0 man, a cawm ! NORTH : On shore, or at sea ? SHEPHERD : Either. I'm wrapped up in my plaid, and lyin a' my length on a bit green plat- form, fit for the fairies' feet, wi' a craig hangin rawer me a thousand feet high, yet bright and balmy a' the way up wi' flowers and briars, and brooms and birks, and mosses maist beautifu' to behold wi' half-shut ee, and through aneath ane's arm guardin the face frae the cloudless sunshine! NORTH : A rivulet leaping from the rock SHEPHERD : NO, Mr. North, no loupin ; for it seems as if were nature's ain Sabbath, and the verra waters were at rest. Look down upon the vale profound, and the stream is without motion ! No doubt, if you were walking along the bank, it would be murmuring with your feet. But here— here up among the hills, we can imagine it asleep, even like the well within reach of my staff!_ NORTH : Tickler, pray make less noise, if you can, in drinking, and also in putting down your tumbler. You break in upon the repose of James's picture. SHEPHERD : Perhaps a bit bonny butterfly is resting, wi' faulded wings, on a gowan, no a yard frae your cheek ; and noo, waukening out o' a simmer dream, floats awa in its wavering beauty, but as if unwilling to leave its place of mid-day sleep, comin back and back, and roun' and roun', on this side and that side, and ettlin in its capri- cious happiness to fasten again on some brighter floweret, till the same breath o' round that lifts up your hair sae refreshingly catches the airy voyager, and wafts her away into some other nook of her ephemeral paradise. TICKLER : I did not know that butterflies in- habited the regions of snow. SHEPHERD : Ay, and mony million moths ; some o' as lovely green as the leaf of the moss- rose, and ithers bright as the blush with which she salutes the dewy dawn ; some yellow as the long steady streaks that lie below the sun at set, and ithers blue as the sky before his orb has westered. Spotted, too, are all the glorious creatures' wings—say rather, starred wi' constel- lations ! Yet, 0 sirs ! they are but creatures o' a day ! NORTH : Go on with the calm, James—the calm ! SHEPHERD : Gin a pile o' grass straughtens itself in silence, you hear it distinctly. I'm thinking that was the noise o' a beetle gaun to pay a visit to a freen on the ither side o' that mossy stane. The melting dew quakes ! Ay, sing awa, my bonny bee, maist industrious o' God's creatures ! Dear me, the heat is ower muckle for him ; and he burrows himsel in amang a tuft o' grass, like a beetle panting ! and noo invisible a' but the yellow doup o' him. I too feel drowsy, and will go to sleep amang the mountain solitude. NORTH : Not with such a show of clouds SHEPHERD : No ! not with such a show of clouds. of ill-fame, three beer houses, a milk shop, an old shoe shop, and another heathen tradesman who sells tobacco and chicory, tea, and cheese scraps, and at the corner of the street is a gin shop. My other neighbours are working men— a gun-smith, an actor at the theatre, a mender of shoes, a gilt-toy maker, a lock-smith, a printer, and a sweep ; the rest are labourers ; and there are also two women who go out to wash. I know there is not a single person in the street who goes to church. I know that one or two have been oftener in Moor-street lock-up than in a place of worship—that, to a family, they are all in debt, either to the pawnbroker, the landlord, the sur- geon, or their employers. I know also that there is scarcely one person among us who has not been better off, and who is not capable of being better off than he is just now. There are in my street thirty-six houses, and three courts of forty- two houses more. I have known more than four hundred men, women, and children living at one time in these houses. I have tried to count up their present number, and it is not far from four hundred now. One family has lost its father ; he was transported for stealing brass from his employer ; the brass was found at his house in the form of children's playthings, which he had made at home, and which one of the youngest in the family sold in the street. The mother, by means of washing, keeps on her house, feeds her five children (or at least four, for one is in the Gem-street school), and pays her way better than any ; the youngest son, who has fits, and whom no one will employ, sings in the street for what he can get. This woman is a fair specimen of all the other industrious women in our street, and to these women is owing all the decency and good feeling which we possess: The principal events which take place among us are the birth of a child, the seizing of a neighbour's goods for rent, and the visit of a policeman. No surgeon is ever seen at the first, and the seizure for rent seldom takes place without a united effort to save the tables and bed of the house that is about to be broken up. The policeman comes and goes without help and without molestation. The man earning the most money as a workman is the gunsmith, and of the heathen family of which he is the head I will say a few things, and conclude this my first letter in the hope that you will let me write to you again. There are seven in this family—mother and father, two sons, and three daughters. There is scarcely a night in the week when this man comes home sober. He has been twice in gaol. His wife goes out to do wash- ing, and it is by her labour alone that the house is kept together. I have known this woman be confined of a child on a Sunday, and out again to wash on the Tuesday following. She can neither read nor write—but nothing delights her more than a song, a reading from a story-book, and going once a-year to the play. She is at the side of every sick bed, nurses at least once a-day every new-born baby in the place, and not unfrequently buys a pinafore, an orange, or a carrot, to give to some of the little heathen that are sprawling about. She has come to me many times in a year for help not for herself, but for others, and her falling tears have left her face all the more shining as she has got what she sought. Once one of the girls in the street could not go to the theatre because her frock was in pawn. She made every trial of her good humour upon my friend the pawnbroker to get him only to lend her the frock for the day, and, though she did not succeed, yet, because it was Monday, she raised 18d. among the neighbours and the girl went to the play. For seven years I have known this woman, during which time she has brought up her children in cleanliness and d t• in us y, and there is not a neighbour who needed help that she has not helped, and the last thing I saw her doing she has done a hundi giving a cup of tea in the 111 who seemed incapable of craw had neglected by his cursed br Nearly the whole street is 17 certain it is that none can has been attracted by a fight and none can sooner make band turn a friendly face u struck down. So that some susceptible of being made taken for this purpose. Is tL Bad as we all are here, are Nv( can be governed and kept in by a washerwoman ?" The. be gathered, is to repudiate thenism.

A SNOW-STORM- IN YARROW---A CALM (From Professor Wilson's " Nodes Ambrosia;ue," Vol. I) SHEPHERD : I'se tell you, and judge for yoursel. At four in the mornin, it was that hard frost that the dubs were bearin, and the midden was as bard as a rickle o' stanes. We couldn a plant the potawtoes. But the lift was clear. Between eight and nine, a snaw-storm came doun frae the mountains about Loch Skene, noo a whirl, and noo a blash, till the grun' was whitey-blue, wi' a sliddery sort o' sleet, and the Yarrow began to roar wi' the melted broo, alang its frost-bound borders, and aneath its banks, a' hanging wi' icicles, nane o' them thinner than my twa arms. Wed, then, about eleven it began to rain, for the wand had shifted—and afore denner-time, it was an evendoun pour. It fell town about sax—and the air grew close and sultry to a degree that was fearsome. Wha wud hae expeckit a thunder- storm on the eve o' sic a day ? But the heavens, in the thundery airt, were like a dungeon—and I saw the lightning playing like meteors athwart the blackness, lang before ony growl was in the gloom. Then, a' at ante, like a waukened lion, the thunder rose up in his den, and shaking his mane o' brindled clouds, broke out into sic a roar that the very sun shuddered in eclipse—and the grews and collies that happened to be sittin beside me on a bit knowe, gaed whinin into the house wi' their tails atween their legs, just yen- turin a haflin glance to the howling heavens noo a' in a low, for the fire was strong and fierce in electrical matter, and at intervals the illuminated mountains seemed to vomit out conflagration like verra volcanoes.

,EMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. history and criticism, and the history of our race. As Pliny and others have referred to the existence of these treatises, or rather libraries, there can be no doubt of their genuineness, and the importance of the discovery can, scarcely be over-rated CORROSIVE SUBLIMATE EATERS.—A singular illus- tration of the effect of mixed substances upon the human constitution, when in a state of disease, is pre- sented in the use of a mixture of opium with corrosive sublimate by the confirmed opium-eaters of the East. The drug, in its usual form, gradually loses its effect upon the habitual consumer, so that the dose must be increased from time to time, if the influence of the drug is to be maintained. But at length even this resource fails to inveterate opium-eaters in Constanti- nople, and no increase of dose will procure for them the desired enjoyment, or even relieve them from bodily pain. In this emergency, they have recourse to a poisonous corrosive sublimate. Mixing at first a minute quantity of this substance with their daily dose of opium, they increase it by degrees till they reach the limit of ten grains a day, beyond which it is usually unsafe to pass. This mixture acts upon their long-tortured frames, when neither of the ingredients, taken alone, will either soothe or exhilarate. But the use of the new medicine only protects a little longer the artificial enjoyment, which has become a necessary of life, finally bringing to a more miserable termination the career of the debilitated and distorted Theriaki.— Professor Johnston's Chemistry of Common Life. THE STEAM ENGINE AND THE HUMAN BODY.— James Watt, when first devising his first engine, knew well that the rapid combination of the oxygen of atmospheric air with the combustible fuel in the furnace produced the heat and force of the engine ; but he did not know that in the living body there is going on, only more slowly, a similar combination of the oxygen of the air with the like combustible matter in the food, as this circulates after digestion in the form of blood through the lungs, which combination pro- duces the warmth and force of the living animal. The chief resemblances of the two objects are exhibited strikingly in the following tables of comparison, where are set forth nearly the same things and actions, with difference in the names. TABLE OF COMPARISON. THE STEAM ENGINE IN ACTION TAKES : I.—FUEL, viz.—Coal and wood, both being old or dry vegetable matter, and both combustible. 2.—WATER. 3.—AIR. AND PRODUCES: 4.—STEADY BOILING HEAT OF 212 degrees by quick combustion. 5.—53.101 CE from the chimney, or air loaded with car- bonic acid and vapour. 6.—AsuEs, part of the fuel which does not burn. 7.—MOTIVE FORCE, of simple alternate push and pull in the piston, which, acting through levers, joints, bands, &c., does work of endless variety. B.—A DEFICIENCY OF FUEL, WATER, OR AIR, first dis- turbs and then stops the motion. 9.—LocAL DAMAGE from violence in a machine is repaired by the maker. THE ANIMAL BODY IN LIFE TAKES : I.—Foos, viz.—Recent or fresh vegetable matter and flesh, both being of kindred composition, and both combustible. 2.—DRINK (essentially water). 3.—BREATH (common air). AND PRODUCES: 4.—STEADY ANIMAL HEAT of 98 degrees by slow com- bastion. S.—FOUL BREATH from the windpipe, or air loaded with carbonic acid and vapour. 6_.—ANIMAL REFUSE, part of the food which does not burn. 7.-IVIonvE FORCE, of simple alternate contraction and relaxation, in the muscles, which acting through the levers, joints, tendons, &c., of the limbs, does work of endless Nariety. B.—A DEFICIENCY OF FOOD, DRINK, OR •BREATH, first disturbs, and then stops the motion and the life. O.—LOCAL HURT OR DISEASE in a living body is repaired or cured by the action of internal vital powers. Such are the surprising resemblances between an in- animate machine, the device of human ingenuity exe- cuted by human hands, and the living body itself, yea, 127 the bodies of the men whose minds contrive and whose fingers make such machines. A prodigious difference, however, between the two is pointed at by the expres- sion vital powers, contained in the last line of the pre- ceding table. That difference, described in a few words, is, that while the machine has to be originally con- structed, and afterwards worked and repaired and supplied with every necessary, by intelligence and forces altogether external to it, the animal body per- forms all the offices mentioned, and others yet more surprising, for itself, by virtue of forces or powers originally placed within it by the divine Author of Nature. THE HOUSE OF MR. ROGEES, THE POET.—OVer- looking the Green-park, there is a house which not only contains a choice collection of works of art, but is also in other ways rendered so remarkable by the good taste of its venerable and distinguished owner, that some account of it cannot fail to be useful to our readers. The exterior, without having much pretension, has a fit and comfortable appearance ; near the top is an open verandah, in which are plants and vases ; the long garden in front is in winter thickly planted with laurels and other evergreens, and in the summer is gaily decked with seasonable flowers. In this house, during three generations, Samuel Rogers, the gifted author of the " Pleasures of Memory," has gathered round him the most celebrated statesmen,poets, painters, sculptors, and those who in science or in other ways were honourably distinguished. A house so eminently connected by associations with the great in literature, art, and science, would, independently of other con- siderations, be a place of general interest ; but in addition to this claim upon our attention, the taste of Mr. Rogers has produced an arrangement of furniture and decoration which satisfies most eyes. Going into the house, not from the garden side, but from Park- place (No. 22), we find in the hall some choice Greek and other sculptures, busts and vases of large size; and we enter the dining-room which overlooks the park. This room, wherein so many noted persons have met together, is of a considerable length, and is lighted by a bow window which occupies the whole of one end; the curtains are of a dull red colour—in the summer, intertwined with thinner drapery of white, the trees and park seen pleasantly through; near the window on one side of the room is a fine head by Rembrandt ; on the other side the famous head of Christ crowned with thorns, by Guido, which has been often engraved ; other portions of the walls are covered with choice examples of the works of Rubens, painters of the Italian and Spanish schools, and some of the best of Sir Joshua Reynolds's pictures ; for instance, the Strawberry Girl, and Puck, that wonderful personification of frolic and mischief. The walls are of a rich crimson, subdued as that colour would be in oil painting, with a glazing of asphaltum ; the carpet is of a very deep brown crimson hue, mixed with grey, varying, however, from both the walls and curtains. The cornice of the room is much ornamented, partly gilt ; the leather cover- ings of the seats harmonise, yet produce variety of colour, which is enhanced by the " Vandyke brown" of the furniture. We step up-stairs, glancing at portions of Greek architecture, into the library, a square-look- ing apartment, lined with book-shelves on all sides ex- cept above the mantle-piece, where hangs a fine picture by Reynolds, The furniture in this room—couches, seats, table, library, ladder—are all of fine forms. On the top of the bookcases is a variety of Etruscan vases. Tho working patterns of the ceiling were supplied by Flaxman, who also designed and executed the sculpture on the mantel-piece, which is well worthy of study. Leaving the library we pass through a vestibule, con- taining works of art, to the drawing-room, in which there is a glorious display of fine pictures of different schools. The mantel-piece in this room is of white marble, and, like that of the library, by Flaxman. This is another instance of pure art being applied to domestic purposes. Why should this not be more general in the houses of the wealthy P This exquisite work is also surmounted by vases and statuettes of value ; and underneath a careful glazing are several orange blossoms, pearls, and other bride's favours, which, in a mysterious rummer, harmonise with 'the rare works of bygone generations with which they are surrounded, and touch the feelings. Look where you will the eye rests on pleasant objects, and is coaxed from place to place, as it is by the skilful painter, who, by the cunning of his art, leads us from his bright light and colour into his deep yet transparent shadows. —Builder. 128 MALLEABLE IRON ORDNANCE.—We made mention some weeks ago of a wrought-iron gun, manufactured by Mr. Dundas, at Paragon Works, North Britain, on a principle maintained by him to be the only practi- cable method by which guns and mortars of that ma- terial, and of large calibre, could be made sound and trustworthy ; the difficulty of procuring dense and solid forgings of great bulk being well known to every practical engineer. This gun, a 9-pounder, after being taken to the War Department, Whitehall, for Lord Panmure's inspection, was sent down to Woolwich to be proved. Two heavy charges of 91b. of powder and a ball, the usual proof charge of a cannon of this size, were first fired from it. These produced no change in the gun, nor displacement of its parts. Fifty rounds of ordinary service ammunition were then rapidly fired from the cannon, causing no change whatever. The gun was then sent down to Shoeburyness for a further and more severe ordeal. This it underwent some days ago, and as thirty-six ordinary rounds more were fired from it without any remarkable result, the charge was gradually increased to four, five, and lastly, to six pounds of powder, and two balls. Under this power- ful application the gun at length began to yield, and it finally became unserviceable at the third round of the last series—six pounds of powder, two balls, and a wad. In all one hundred and fifty-two rounds were fired from it. It may not be uninteresting to give a brief description of the method of the construction of this gun. Four bars of iron, about an inch thick, five inches broad, and the proper length of the gun, are put up longitudinally into segments of a circle, which, if placed edge to edge, form the rough outline of the bore. The edges of these bars are then accu- rately planed. The bars or staves are now hooped temporarily as a cylinder by means of two rings at the extremities, and turned in a lathe to a surface perfectly true and cylindrical. A series of iron rings, three inches broad, and three-quarters of an inch thick, carefully welded, are bored to a size slightly smaller than the barrel or cylinder ; these, being after- wards expanded by heat, are one by one placed on the cylinder, and plunged into cold water ; instant con- traction ensuing, the staves are compressed more powerfully than could be done by any artificial means, and no appearance of a joint in the staves is percep- tible. The exterior surface of the mass is. again turned perfectly cylindrical, and a second series of rings placed in like manner over the first " breaking band." This time in the lathe the iron assumes the exterior of a cannon, the trunnions having been previously placed on, forged on a centre ring. .To bore the gun with great perfection is very simple, as the boring bar can be supported at both ends, and the breech end of the gun being, for a few inches, bored slightly conically with a shoulder, into which fits a solid plug intro- duced from the muzzle ; the cannon is now complete. Of course the best workmanship and fittings in the manufacture of such a gun are indispensable, and without the large planing machines, lathes, and other powerful tools now in use, which, while they save manual labour, do their work with unerring accuracy, such a piece of ordnance on a large scale could not be constructed. Since this gun was made, many improve- ments have suggested themselves to the inventor, who was much in doubt as to the proper proportions required by the separate parts of the cannon, and who, perhaps too confidently, made his gun much slighter than ser- vice ordnance of the same calibre, this being one-third lighter than a cast-iron nine-pounder gun. By the substitution, also, of tilted cast steel for iron staves a double strength will be secured, while, by corrugating the cylinder to the extent of from one-eighth to one- sixteenth of an inch, and turning the rings to fit these corrugations when shrunk on, great aditional te- nacity will be gained. Adopting these alterations, Mr. Dundas is now engaged in the manufacture of another • gun, which he is confident will resist every fair means that may be used with the view of destroy- ing it. By thus making cannon in pieces compara- tively small, no difficulty exists in obtaining perfect soundness and solidity in each separate part, and in- suring equal trustworthiness in the whole. This cannot be secured in large masses of iron, from the constant heat - ings rendering the interior raw and crude—an evil aggra- vated each time the mass is put into the furnace and withdrawn, when the sUila-ce_ only is exposed to the action of the hammer, which, even though that in- strument be a ponderous engine, weighing six tons, fails to compress the vast incandescent bulk on which it descends.—Times.

Her countenance was sprightly, but somewhat pale ; she had much of majesty in her demeanour, and, though her person was of the smaller size, yet her mien and carriage were very noble." THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE'S WILL.—" Princess Charlotte, some time ago, when the Duke of York's letters were much the subject of conversation, dined at her mother's. On the next day she desired to have a conference with the Prince of Wales—when she told him, that she thought it proper to apprise him, in case of her death, she had two or three years ago deposited her will in the hands of Mr. Nott (her sub-preceptor). The Prince was rather surprised at this communication, but told her, she, in the first instance, had done a very foolish thing, but had acted very properly in now men- tioning it to him, and that he should now take steps upon it. Upon this he spoke to the Bishop of Salisbury, who immediately summoned Nott, who acknowledged the fact, and that he was in possession of the will ; but I hear he demurs at surrendering up the will—(whether this last circumstance is the fact, I know not, but I believe it is). The will was made with Mr. Nott's knowledge two or three years ago, and one of its clauses is—That in case her grandfather should be reigning at the time of her decease, or her father, she earnestly implores either of them to give Nott a bishopric. One can hardly believe the man to have been so weak as to be privy to such a request, but that the fact of the will, and of this particular clause, is unquestionable, you may depend upon. I suppose it will end in dismissing Nott." A FANCY SKETCH.—The Paris correspondent of the Manchester Guardian thus describes Prince Lucien Murat :—" Fancy Lablache twice as fat, and ten times as unwieldy, but without the bright expan- sion of intelligence with which we are so familiar in Lablache's face ; fancy a sleepy, heavy, good- natured, quiet man, with a wife who was a governess, and might have been a cook for that matter, but who is one of the best humoured, most humoured, most motherly and sensible, plain-going, straightforward women in existence. Man and wife are about as unfit to play at King and Queen as any Darby and Joan you ever beheld, and I believe neither have the small- est intention of exposing themselves to any ridicule of the kind ; but they have a son, a young man of two or three and twenty, who has inherited the far-famed beauty of his grandsire, and who would probably be the individual selected to replace King Ferdinand upon the throne. This young man is married to the daughter of the Prince de Wagram (son of Marshal Berthier), and upon the occasion of the marriage (two years ago) the Murat family are reported to have said, in reply to some not very flattering remark as to the fortune awarded to the bridegroom,—" But you forget that Joachim brings a crown with him in the Corbeille !" LONDON STREETS IN EARLY MORNING.—The best time to judge both of the beauties and imperfections of London architecture is at an early hour of a bright midsummer morning, before the milk and watercresses have come about. Before London has got up, the air is to a wonder clear, the trees in the squares look bright and cheerful, and almost the only sounds heard are the chirruping of the sparrows and the challenging and reply of many a chanticleer from yards, cellars, and mysterious places. At this quiet hour the ap- pearance of the streets would surprise most of those who have not seen them except during the hurried traffic of the day or the drive, glare, and bustle of the night. The great thoroughfares, such as Regent- street, Oxford-street, and Holborn, appear double their usual width, and the observer may note much, in the decorations and general style of the houses and shops, which induces feelings of mingled pain and satisfaction. The door knockers, the railings, the decorations of the shops, the public buildings (the original design in many instances • perverted), and other matters too numerous at present to mention, are more clearly and without interruption visible. During such a walk, the eye, fixed on exterior objects, does not prevent the imagination from straying towards the interiors of the hundreds of dwellings which in our journey we review, with the fittings, furniture, and the works of art that exhibit the various degrees of domestic taste and comfort. Although not possessed of second sight, an opinion may often be formed as to the interior arrangements by the outward mask—the door-knocker, the window-blinds, or the plants. REMINISCENCES OF "L. E. L."—When this lady was about six years of age, she was taken into the country to a farm in which her father was deeply interested, called Coventry Farm, in Hertfordshire. This farm is situate between Totteridge and Mill-hill, on the borders of Herts and Middlesex. She also went with her family to reside at Trevor Park, East Barnet, where the education was conducted by her cousin. Miss Landon. The family resided here about six years, and until L. E. L. was nearly 13 years old. Here she read a great deal of romance and poetry, and began to show the operation of her fancy by relating long stories to her parents, and indulging in long meditative walks in the lime walk in the garden. Her brother was her companion, and spite of her nascent authorship, they seemed to have played and romped and enjoyed themselves as children should do. They read Plutarch, and had a, great ambition of being Spartans. An anecdote is related of their taking ven- geance on the gardener for some affront by shooting at him with arrows with nails stuck in them for piles, and of his tossing them upon a quickset hedge for punishment, most probably one of the old-fashioned square cut ones, where they would be rather prisoners than sufferers. This man, whose name was Chambers, Miss Landon taught to read ; and he afterwards saved money and retired to keep the Rising Sun Inn, a. quaint wooden house on Mimside Barnet, between Union-street and Barnet Church. To the happy days spent at Trevor Park, and the reading of books of travel and imagination, always a period of elysium to a child, Miss Landon makes many references, both in her poems and prose sketches, called " Traits and Trials of Early Life." Some lines addressed to her brother commemorate these imaginative pleasures very graphically : " It was an August evening, with sunset on the trees, When home you brought his voyages who found the fair South Seas. For weeks he was our idol, we sailed with him at sea, Aud the pond amid the willows our ocean seemed to be,— The water-lilies growing beneath the morning smile,— We called the South Sea Islands, each flower a different isle. Within that lovely garden, what happy hours went by, While we fancied that around us spread a foreign sea and sky." The house which stood in the park has since been pulled down, and the grounds converted into a farm, now occupied by Mr. East. It is in the middle of the village, nearly opposite the church. ACTRESSES RAISED BY MARRIAGES.—The first person among " the gentry" who chose a wife from the stage was Martin Folkes, the antiquary, a man of fortune, who about the year 1683 married Lucretia Bradshaw, the representative of Farquhar's heroines. A contemporary writer styles her " one of the greatest and most promising genii of her time," and assigns her " prudent and exemplary conduct" as the attrac- tion which won the learned antiquary. The next actress whose husband moved in an elevated rank was Anastasia Robinson, the singer. The great Lord Peterborough, the hero of the Spanish war—the friend of Pope and Swift—publicly acknowledged Anastasia as his Countess in 1735. In four years after, the Lady Henrietta Herbert, daughter of James first Earl of Waldegrave, and widow of Lord Edward Herbert, bestowed her hand on James Beard, the performer. Subsequently, about the middle of the eighteenth century, Lavinia Bestwick, the original " Polly Peachum," became Duchess of Bolton. The next on record was Miss Lenley's marriage to Sheridan, one of the most romantic episodes in theatrical unions ; and before the eighteenth century closed, Elizabeth Far- ren, a perfect gentle-woman, became Countess of the proudest Earl in England, the representative of the illustrious Stanleys. She was Lord Derby's second wife, and mother of the present Countess of Wilton. In 1807, the beautiful Miss Searle was married to Robert Heathcote, Esq., brother to Sir Gilbert Heath- cote, Bart ; and in the same year Louisa Arunton, to the late Earl Craven. Her son is now Earl Craven ; and her niece, Mrs. Yates, still exhibits the dramatic genius of the Brunton family. " The Beggar's Opera" again conferred a coronet. Mary Catherine Bolton's " Polly Peachum" captivated Lord Thurlow. She was married to his lordship in 1813. In more recent times the most fascinating of our actresses, Miss O'Neill, wedded Sir William Wrexham Beecher, Bart. Miss Foote, the Earl of Harrington ; Miss Stephens, the Earl of Essex ; and Miss Mellon, then Mrs. Coutts, the Duke of St Albans...-Burke's .Romance of the Aristocracy.

Flax and leather manufactures, hides, timber, and metals, except copper, all present a heavy falling off. Our SHARE-MARKET has been firmer during the past week, and prices have advanced some one per cent. from the lowest point, but this has scarcely been maintained to-day, The pressure in the Money-market, the abundance of stock, and the want of confidence in railway accounts, especially in those of the London and North-Western, inducing daily sales of real stock, continue to have an unfavourable influence upon this market, and it closes this evening with a gloomy ap- pearance, indicative of a further fall.

COTTON.—The pressure on the money market has not been without its effect on Cotton, and holders having pressed sales more freely, prices have declined from 3-16 d. to id. per lb. The sales for the week up to Friday were 35,960 bales, of which 2,300 were taken on speculation, and 3,230 for export, leaving 30,430 for the trade. TO-DAY the advices by the Atlantic were to hand, and the market assumed a firmer tone, though no advance is made in quotations. The sales amounted to 6,000 bales, including 1,000 for speculation and export. The following is a compari- son of present rates with those of the corresponding period last year:— • New Orleans, middlin 1854 1855 g fair 31 Upland, middling -16 5 11-16 „ fair PRODUCE.—The inquiry for Sugar has continued active and prices have advanced 6d. to ls. per cwt. Coffee in good demand. Little doing in Tea. In Rice a large business at 3d. per cwt. advance. Palm Oil in good demand. Tallow and Rum in fair request. TO-DAY, a steady business continues to be done in Sugar, at full prices; including Saturday's sales, the transactions consist of 200 hhds. Demerara from 435. to 475., 1,500 bags Dates at 475. to 475. 3d., and 2,500 mats Mauritius, to arrive, the price not reported. There is nothing to notice in Molasses or Rum. 80 bags washed Rio Coffee have realized 545. per cwt. The Tea market on Saturday and to-day has been rather excited, and a general disposition has been shown to do business in most kinds; common Congou has been sold to the extent of 3,000 chests, at 9d. per lb. Rice continues in fair demand, 4,000 bags Arra- can being reported at 12s. 100., 850 bags Bngal at 16s. 3d., with 200 tons for arrival, the price of which has not transpired. 300 bales Jute have realized £l6 per ton, being its previous value. WOOL---During the past week there has been less demand for all descriptions of wool. At our public sales, which commenced on Tuesday and terminated on Saturday, there was a fair attendance of buyers, but a want of animation in the bidding, and prices may be quoted Id. to id. per lb. lower. The imports for the week are 585 bales East Indian, 260 Portugal, 116 Mediterranean, 301 Scotch, 36 Irish, and 51 Coast- wise. Total, 1,349 bales. Messrs. HUGHES and RON4LD., in their circular, say :--- __ _ The public sales, which commenced on the 25th instant, had been for some time looked forward to with interest, as the chief part of the late arrivals of the most current descriptions had been held over for this occasion. The whole quantity announced was 9,102 bales, of which were 6,262 bales of East India: these Wools were not in such active demand as at the previous sales, and, although nearly the whole found buyers, still the biddings were without animation, with the exception of the better bred qualities, which were extremely scarce, and realised prices nearly in proportion to the last public sales of 15th to 17th August, while on others we quote an average decline of id. per lb.; and taking into account the very extreme-rates which in some instances then prevailed, but not to an extent to form any real criterion, it has been even much more serious. Messrs. W. GREAME and Co., in their Inonthly circular, say : There has again been a fair demand for most descriptions of Wool during the past month, and a considerable amount of business has been done at very firm prices ; during the last few days, however, the sudden rise in the rate of discount by the bank of England, combined with the high rates ruling in the corn market has rather tended to check demand, and our public sales, which commenced on the 25th instant, opened with less animation than was expected, 6,000 bales East India and 3,000 bales Buenos Ayres, Egyptian, Turkey, and other low Wools were offered ; we had a good attendance of the home trade, but an unusual absence of foreign com- petition, and at the first day's sale, which consisted entirely of East India Wools, there was an average reduction of id. per lb.; as the sales progressed, however, more confidence was manifest and this reduction was partially recovered; iu other descriptions there was not much alteration. Egyptian Wools were in good request, and realised full prices ; there was only a poor selection of Turkey, Smyrna, and Barbary Wools, and part was withdrawn. In English and Irish Wools a fair business is doing and prices are pretty well maintained, par- ticularly for combing and carding Skin Wools, which are very scarce and much wanted; for Scotch and Laid Wools not much demand, and no alteration in prices. Messrs. JOSEPH ROBINSON and Co. say The raising of the rate of discount by the Bank of England to 5 per cent., and the continued high value of flour and grain, have acted unfavourably on the Wool market, and given the upward tendency of prices a temporary check. The imports of East India have been large, although showing a trifling increase on last year's receipts to the same period, and the tightness in the money market has had the effect of causing a slight reduction in blanket wools. Combing descriptions, with which the market is indifferently supplied, are not lower, and extreme value is attainable, to the close of the month. As far as can be ascertained at the scene of manufacture, the want of confidence is caused by fear for the future, and not by any want of orders. A short time will remove the effects of the rise in the rate of discount, and we look for a good busi- ness, at fully recent rates, stocks being light, and the general trade of the country healthy. Home-grown Wools remain very firm ; the growers prefer holding to accepting lower prices. Last year's stock was almost entirely consumed, and the demand quite an average to thepresent period ; it would not be a matter of great surprise if even a rise should take place before the next two months. LATEST NEWS. THE CRIMEA. We have received, vid Marseilles, the following telegraphic despatch from The Times' correspondentot Sebastopol : SEBASTOPOL, Sept. 18. The enemy is firing into the town, but does little harm. The Naval Brigade is dissolved. The siege batteries are being reshipped. Col. 3l'Murdo is preparing his corps for active service, by VIENNA, Saturday, Sept. 29. The allied fleets have left Sebastopol. Their destination is unknown. MARSEILLES, Saturday, Sept. 29. The Vatican, which left Constantinople on the 20th of Sept. _ has arrived. She brings advices from the Crimea of the 18th of Sept. Despatches leave at 8 p.m. The Indian mail despatches leave at the same time. The Moniteur of Sunday does not contain any news from the theatre of war. It announces the departure from Paris of the reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha for Coblentz, at which city there is at present a sort of Congress of German Princes. All the Paris papers of Saturday publish the two following elegraphic despatches from Prince Gortschakoff:— ST. PETERSBURG, Wednesday Evening, Sept. 26. Prince Gortschakoff writes from the Crimea, under date of ,he 23rd of September : After landing 20,000 men at Eupatoria, the enemy, who had 30,000 men on our left flank, made daily reconnaissances, but yesterday they withdrew, after an encounter with our infantry on the heights of Ourkussa. The second despatch is vid Berlin : BERLIN, Sept. 28. Under date of Sept. 26, in the morning, Prince Gortscha- koff says: Yesterday the enemy landed.at Enpatoria to the number of 33,000 men, and occupied different villages in the neighbour- hood, from which they withdrew towards evening, to bear upon onr left flank. • Nothing of importance has, however, occurred. Our Cossacks have had an encounter with a French foraging party near Kertch, and made 25 prisoners. :BY ELECTRIC & INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPHS.] LONDON, Monday Night. The Globe states that the rank of Major-General is likely TH E NV AR. The Times' Crimean correspondent writes on Sept. 18 : " Since Saturday last, very little has occurred to meet the eye, and the news may be briefly stated. " The Russians continue to strengthen their position on the north side, and to hang on their old points of occupation, from thence to the ridges over Aitodor. " The French have moved large masses of the corps of the left siege army to the rear between Baidar and.Tchorgoum. " Our Batteries are disarmed. " The roads to the camp are undergoing repair, and the Army Works Corps, assisted by soldiers, is engaged in the formation of a new road from Balaltlava, which will run pa- rallel with the line of railway. " Everything around indicates the intention of putting the army into winter quarters on the site of its present encamp- ment. But there are signs, equally unequivocal, that a blow is to be struck at the enemy ere the troops set themselves pas- sively down to encounter the rigour of the winter. In the first place, great activity prevails throughout the Land Trans- port Corps, several divisions of which have received orders to hold themselves in readiness for immediate service. Colonel MacMurdo has been required to furnish head-quarters with an accurate estimate of the amount of supplies which he could convey, and of the number of mules and horses fit for duty. "In one division the captain has been ordered to prepare mules to carry 250,000 rounds of ball cartridge, that is 50 rounds per man for a force of 5000 men. The officer in charge of the small arm reserve ammunition has been warned to prepare for taking it into the field. The troops of the Royal Horse Artillery and the field batteries have been turned out in marching order, and were under the impression on Mon- day morning that they were really going to start at once. " Our sappers and miners are at work sinking great mines to blow up and destroy the unrivalled docks which have cost Russia so much anxiety, money, and blood. "On the open quay parties of our men are constantly en- gaged in burning old stores, clothing, boots, belts, shakos, bags, and such articles as the enemy left behind. " The sappers and these parties are not disturbed by the Russian-guns, but ifa knot of officers or horsemen collect, the enemy unexpectedly sends a shot or shell amongst them, and does a little mischief to the remains of the town. They could sweep some of the chosen look-out places with grape, but it is believed they are waiting for a grand collection of generals, staff-officers, and officers to astonish with a broadside. " Mr. Lange,. paymaster of the Rifle Brigade, was slightly wounded by a shell from the north side, and his horse was killed. " The French have a mortar battery, with which they shell the Russian working parties. " At an armistice, on Tuesday, for the interchange of letterl for prisoners, the Russian officer who conducted it, and Ao is supposed to have been the commander of the Vladimar, is said to have expressed the same opinion as the Russian Admiral did on the 10th--` With this before us, (pointing to the ruins of Sebastopol,) peace is further off than ever.' " The Russians have a very large park of artillery on the other side of the harbour. " Captain Rowland; 31st, has been appointed Town:Major to Colonel Wyndham. " The French cavalry are going to Eupatoria." The Times' Berlin correspondent's communication of the 29th states that the journey of the King was made to coun- teract the strong philo-Austrian feeling in certain Prussian provinces, where the population is nearly exclusively Catholic Tuani, Sept. 27.

SHOWING THE Towx.—T lads,amed respectively William Brown, William Hughes, and James Griffiths, were charged yesterday, before the Police-court, by detectives Povey and MacCullough, with attempting to pick pockets on Saturday last, in St. James's market, and also in Mill-street Both the witnesses spoke distinctly to having seen the prisoners attempting to pick several pockets in the market, and also in the street. The prisoners of course, denied all knowledge of the pocket-picking, and 'declared they were all honest working-men. Hughes said if it was true that the detectives saw them attempting to pick pockets, how did they not at once take them into custody. MacCullough said "We wanted to make you all right," to get something. Griffiths said the other prisoners were friends of his who had come from Manchester, and they being strangprs he was just " showing them the town a bit," when these two fellows took them into custody. All three were sentenced to one month, .- imprisonment each.

INTERIOR OF THE CAPTURED TOWN. In his letter, dated the 12th ult., the writer last quoted gives a graphic account of the desolate and heartrending spectacle presented by the evacuated and war-riven town. After detailing at great length the unexpected effect produced in the English and French camps by the flight of the Russians, and narrating the several incidents which arrested the attention of the different bodies of the Allied force, he proceeds to give his own experiences as to what he beheld on his entrance into the town : There were ghastly sights on the way, too ; Russians who had died, or were dying as they lay, brought so far towards the hospitals from the fatal Malakhoff. Passing through a maze of trenches, of gabionades, and of zig-zags and parallels, by which the French had worked their sure and deadly way close to the heart of the Russian defence, and treading gently among the heaps of dead, where the ground bears full tokens of the bloody fray, we come at last to the head of the French sap. It is barely ten yards from that to the base of the huge sloping mound of earth which rises full twenty feet in height above the level, and shows in every direction the grinning muzzles of its guns. The tricolour waves placidly from its highest point, and already the French are busy constructing a semaphore on the top. Step briskly out of the sap—avoid those poor mangled braves who are lying all around,and come on. There is a deep ditch at your feet, some 20 or 22 feet deep, and 10 feet broad. Mount the parapet and descend—of what amazing thickness are those embrasures ! From the level of the ground inside to the top of the para- pet cannot be less than 18 feet. There are eight rows of gabions piled one above the other, and as each row recedes towards the top it leaves in the ledge below an excellent ban- quette for the defenders. Inside the sight is too horrible to dwell upon. The French are carrying away their own and the Russian wounded, and there are five distinct piles of dead formed to clear the way. The ground is marked by pools of blood, and the smell is already noisome ; swarms of flies settle on dead and dying ; broken muskets, torn clothes, caps, shakos, swords, bayonets, bags of bread, canteens, and haversacks are lying in indescribable wreck all over the place, mingled with heaps of shot, of grape, bits of shell, cartridges, case and canister, loose powder, official papers, and cooking tins. The traverses are so high and deep that it is impossible almost to get a view of the whole of the Malakhoff from any one spot, and there is a high mound of earth in the middle of the work, either intended as a kind of shell proof, or the remains of the old White Tower. The guns, which to the number of 60 were found in the work, are all ships' guns, and mounted on ships' carriages, and worked in the same way as ships' guns. There are a few old-fashioned, oddly-shaped mortars. Look around the work, and you will see that the strength of the Russian was his weakness—he fell into his own bomb-proofs. In the parapet of the work may be observed several entrances— very narrow outside, but descending and enlarging down- wards, and opening into rooms some four or five feet high and eight or ten square. These are only lighted from the outside by day, and must have been pitch dark at night, unless the men were allowed lanterns. Here the garrison retired when exposed to a heavy bombardment. The odour of these narrow chambers is villanous, and the air reeks with blood and abominations unutterable. There are several of these places, and they might set defiance to the heaviest mor- tars in the world; over the roof is a layer of ships' masts, cut in junks and deposited carefully ; then there is over them a solid layer of earth, and above that a layer of gabions, and above that a pile of earth again. In one of these dungeons, which is excavated in the solid rock, and was probably under- neath the old White Tower, the officer commanding seems to have lived. It must have been a dreary residence. With the Malakhoff the enemy lost Sebastopol. The ditch outside to- wards the north was yet full of French and Russians piled over each other in horrid confusion. On the right, towards the Little Redan, the ground was literally strewn with bodies as thick as they could lie, and in the ditch they were piled over each other. Here the French, victorious in the Malakhoff, met with a heavy loss and a series of severe repulses. The Russians lay inside the work in heaps, like carcases in a butcher's cart, and the wounds, the blood—the sight exceeded all I had hitherto witnessed. Descending from the Malakhoff we come upon a suburb of ruined houses open to the sea. It is filled with dead. The Russians have crept away into holes and corners of every house, to die like poisoned rats ; artillery horses, with their entrails torn open by shot, are stretched all over the space at the back of the Malakhoff, marking the place where the Russians moved up their last column to retake it, under the cover of a heavy field battery. Every house, the church, some public buildings, sentry boxes, all alike are broken and riddled by cannon and mortar. Even the most be- nevolent retreat from the hospital, which is in one of these buildings, where they are tending the miserable wounded. I visited it next day.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES. MANCHESTER.—This market has continued very dull all the week, considerable caution being evinced on all sides. Spinners and manufacturers have shown no disposition to press sales by anything like, an extreme reduction in prices, though, at the same time, both in goods and yarns, there is a sensible decline. There is no great pressure on the market, most things being light in stock, in consequence of late operations; but producers, getting out—of orders, are rather more anxious to effect sales, and hence an increased degree of un- steadiness is perceptible. The continued high prices in the corn markets cause considerable hesitation in the opera- tions for the home trade, whilst the tightness of money induces equal caution amongst shippers. At the same time, on all hands, there is also a disposition to hold back orders, in the expectation of lower prices, owing to the weakness of the cotton trade—the result of the favourable advices of the grow- ing crops and receipts from America. Yarns are now id. to id. per lb. lower in nearly all descriptions; and still this seems to be no inducement to purchasers. A very similar state of things exists in the cloth market; in the latter the greatest depression being observable in India descriptions.— Manchester Courier. change to report worthlkbosuthto ofmrmentioning.aaseasonablerinkae rt syw ere cloths ROCIEDALE:—A very 'et markept,:icandmth% trosannt of business transacted vrylrzn' ited, at those of the preceding week.

In reeled yarns there is more doing, with no stocks on hand.—Pieces : A satisfactory amount of business doing in the warehouses, and in grey goods. The supply is not greater than the demand, but there is great complaining about prices. NOTTINGIIA3L—No amendment in the condition of either the lace or hosiery trades since last report ; nevertheless, a better business is expected. The price of all textile materials used in each trade continues very high, and for silk especially there is an increased advance in price. LEICESTER.—It is usual for all departments of manufac- tures here to be fully engaged during the month of September; but this year, from various causes, it is not so. War and dear provisions very much interfere with the usual demand of this season. Prices of wool and yarn remain firm.

ILLUSTRATION OF THE SPIRITUAL WIFE SYSTEM. There was a man in the company named Peter Short, who, to excessive boorishness or manner, united a most repulsive countenance and forbidding disposition. He was extremely ignorant, having not even mastered the first rudiments of education. But, as might he expected, he was a great devotee, a firm believer in all the visions and miracles of the Prophet, and the firm adherent of all his doctrines. Peter, though already possessing a wife and ten children, seemed to have beer. already struck with the pensive grace and beauty of Ellen. He seemed never to weary of gazing at her, or talking to her, though it was equally perceptible that she loathed and hated him. She rarely looked towards him, answered his questions only by monosyllables, and otherwise manifested every symptom of dislike to him and his society. I had frequent opportuni- ties for observing this, and it seemed to me, from the first, that some difficulty would grow opt of it. I was walking a little apart from the others, when Ellen came to me, pale as death, and trembling with agitatica. " Oh, Mrs. Ward !" she said, " I have come to you as the only person on earth in whom I can confide. What shall Ido P Can't you save me from this dreadful fate P" " What is it, Ellen ?" I said soothingly ; " what new trouble has happened to you P" " Oh, that horrible Peter Short! They certainly wish to kill me, or they would save me from him." "My near," said I, " compose yourself, and let me know the whole affair. _ _ _ " And the whole affair can to summed up in a few words. Peter Short has asked me )f Smith for his spiritual wife. Smith has consented, and now commands me to accept him as my husband in the fdth—him I loathe, and hate, and despise, as I never hated man before." "But your mother—cannot sle save you from this fate ?" "My mother is blinded and bigoted. She says that I must obey the commands of the Prophet, and that nothing that he orders can be wrong. But, it cannot be so. Has he not connived at murder, and deception, and all kinds of vice ? Has he not ruined me already, soul and body? Has he not made me a thing to be pitied and abhorred by the pure? But this has overflovn the cup. I might have borne the rest ; I might have hidden my shame and sorrow, and obtained peace and coltentment at last. But to be transferred from one villait to another, is awful— horrible !" " What do they mean by spiritual wife?" " You know Smith teaches that women can only be saved through their husbands; and that unmarried females must be ever debarred from the ?leasures of the blest. Consequently every woman must be provided with a spiritual husband. In that capacity, myself, Mrs. Cook, Mrs. Clarke, and Irene, have been the wives of Smith. Now he has tired of me. He will soon tire of them. Oh, misery !" . Greatly as I pitied the poor girl, it was impossible, under the circumstances, to give her advice; and so assuring her of my sympathy and friendship, and recom- mending her to put off the evil day as long as possible, and that probably something might happen to prevent it altogether, I left her. The next morning Ellen was musing; and when search was made, her body was found in the cool depth of a pool that lay a short distance from the ercampment. They laid her out on the smooth green sward, and one after another came to look on the pale, sweet face, and touch the pallid hand. Smith came among the rest, and so did Peter Short. Yet the wan lips uttered no cry of vengeance against them ! the dim eyes no longer turned from their presence. She slept to wake no more. The spiritual wife doctrine was one of the charges brought against the Mormon iniquity from an early stage of its existence, and it was strenuously denied at first ; it is described, although not credited, by Dr. Charles Mackay, in his history of the " Mormons." " Higbee," one of the early leaders in this monstrous faith, de- scribed his own ideas of the " spiritual wife " system. He said that "some of the elders had ten or twelve spiritual wives a-piece ; that they entered the names of the women in a large book _ _ which was kept sealed at Hyrum Smith's ; and that when an elder or other Mormon wanted to seduce a woman, he led her to see this book opened, where, if her name was found entered, she was told it.was the will of Heaven that she should submit, and she submitted accordingly." From the villanous system thus treacherously introduced much and fearful individual misery is frequently experienced, while crimes, if possible, blacker in the stain of their iniquity than that already quoted arise out of it. Unsuspecting female emigrants are trapped in their passage across the continent to Oregon, and having been made victims of one species of villany, are ulti- mately sacrificed by another.

Its superiority over other preparations of like character, made in this country, arises from the mode of manufacture, and the advantage of obtaining and working the root in its green and fresh state. The root, when brought to this country, is dry, vapid, and almost tasteless, its virtues and juices having all evaporated; while it often becomes mouldy, musty, and partially decayed, so that it is quite unfit for use. ENGLISH TESTIMONY. We give a few of the many communications we have received since we have been in England, from those who have experienced the great benefits of using this celebrated medicine. They must have some weight in convincing the public of its great value. 49, Davies-street, Berkeley-square, Sept. 1. 1851. Gentlemen,—l have much pleasure in testifying to the nume- rous thanks I have received from various persons who have taken Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, many of whom will be happy to give you testimonials should you require them. I am doubly pleased to be able to speak to the good effects I have seen myself produced by the Sarsaparilla; for I must confess that, although I was not prejudicial, I was rather sceptical as to its virtues, which I would not have believed it possessed, had I not seen it.—l am, your obedient servant, J off JA mussoN.

Gentlemen,—l was afflicted with the blind Piles, and was under medical treatment for three months, but obtained no relief. Hearing of Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, I obtained some, and, after taking it a short time, the accumulated corrupt matter copiously discharged, and I almost immediately obtained relief. I still continued its use for a time, and not only found relief, but a cure, and am now free from pain. I most sincerely recommend it to all who are similarly affected. WM. HYDE. Messrs.

Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co. PIMPLES, BLOTCHES, ERUPTIONS, F.C. The same may be said of these as in the cure of the severer chronic maladies ; the Sarsaparilla and the Ointment will effec- tually wipe off all disagreeable eruptions, and render the surface clear and beautiful. Ladies troubled with rough, pimply skin, or a gross, masculine surface, will do well to use these Medicines, if they wish clear, delicate, and transparent complexions. Nothing can exceed their efficacy in this respect. CURE OF A DISORDERED STOMACH. Lower Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square, July 31, 1851.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. clergy. In 1854 their numbers had still increased, but he had every hope that their stipends would be made up by the voluntary contributions of their several parishioners. (Hear, hear.) In consequence of an act of parliament which had been passed, and which he believed would be accepted by the Colonial Legislature, an increased sum for the payment of clergymen would be provided. Sufficient money would be available, should he be able to obtain additional clergymen. The Church in the Colony of Victoria was placed in a very peculiar position. They were not in want of money for the maintenance of clergy in the colony ; but he had not the means of sending out those men, and for this purpose they needed the help of their friends in England. But more than this, there was now a population in Melbourne for whom no ministerial provision was made. The first great want was the want of men. The population of Melbourne was now 300,000. The population had quadrupled in four years, whilst the clergy had only doubled, so that they were not in as good a :position as they were in 1851. The gold- fields were spread over various parts of the country; there were 50 or 00 distinct gold-fields, requiring at least 30 clergy- men, whereas they had only four ministering amongst them. This was what pressed most upon them at the present time; for it was impossible to make anything like an adequate pro- vision for the population of the gold fields. After referring to some efforts which had been made by the colonists to provide church and school accommodation, and the necessity which nevertheless existed for its increase, he alluded to the primi- tive way in which divine service had sometimes to be performed in the colony over which he presided. In connection with this point, he said,—We are not bound to restrict our ministerial labours in the colonies to regular churches ; for myself I shall always feel happy to celebrate divine service wherever I can obtain a willing and attentive audience. (Cheers.) On one occasion, acting on this feeling, I preached from the stump of a fallen tree, which suited very well as a convenient and useful pulpit. What we want especially is zealous men. If you will send us out earnest men we will provide for them. Ido not so much wish to know what may be their opinions upon poinst which the Church of England leaves open to discussion, but I do desire to have men who are inspired by the Grace of God in their hearts. (Hear hear.) After inviting the prayers of the meeting for the success of the Church in Australia, he con- cluded by proposing the resolution with which he was en- trusted. T. B. HORSFALL, Esq., M.P., rose to second the motion, and on rising was received with loud cheers, When these had subsided, he proceeded to say he felt great pleasure in briefly seconding the resolution. In doing so, he said—l am sure it is impossible to have listened to the interesting statements made by the Right Rev. Bishop of Melbourne, without feeling an anxious desire to support to the utmost extent the exer- tions of this society, which has been represented as so inte- resting and important. Never was there a time when the cldims upon the society were so great as at the present moment, and never was there a time when its claims upon us were so urgent. I wish it were in my power to give expression to the feelings which I, in common with all present, must have felt on listening to the eloquent statements of the workings of the society, as they have been displayed by the right rev. Bishop who has just addressed the meeting. But, while lam unable to do this, I will mention a circumstance which I know of in relation to the Cape of Good Hope, when on a late occasion great fears were entertained of another native rebel- lion in that country. On that occasion the governor knew well that it was impossible for the government at home to send out soldiers to meet the emergency. In this difficulty the governor said, " I have only one means of safety left ; I must Christianise the population; and to do this I will draw on the government for £40,000, on the colonists for £5,000, and I will then see what the Church will give." The appeal was made to the government and to the colonists, and in both in- stances it was responded to, and the missionaries were em- ployed instead of troops; and by this means we were freed from the horrors of another Kaffir war. What the Church has given I know not ; but I hope the appeal has not been made and will not be made in vain ; and I hope that Liver- pool will not be appealed to in vain in behalf of the exertions of this society. I feel that there is no room for apprehension on that head, or for supposing that the institutions for which Bishop Barker and Bishop Ryan are looking for strength and encouragement will be left without support on the part of Liverpool. Many forcible allusions had been made, and many striking illustrations had been given, of the beneficial working of the Society in the Colonies and in heathen lands ; but one place in particular has of late, we are aware, been the scene of its gratifying operations. I allude particularly to the circumstance that this Society, in conjunction with government, had sent out twenty-six able, earnest, and zealous clergymen to minister to the spiritual wants of our brave soldiers in the East. That the labours of these clergymen were eminently useful and highly appre- ciated, was clear from many evidences ; but was particularly so from the reports transmitted by those clergymenm themselves. in reference to the effects which had followed their mistra tions. The honourable gentleman here read extracts from several of the reports dated at Scutari and at several places in the Crimea, showing that the services rendered by the Clergy in these places had been attended by results eminently gratifying to both the Clergy and the soldiers. He then proceeded. It is unnecessary for me to say one word in enforcing the sentiments or in recommending the views so ably set forth in the extracts which he had just read, and he should not risk the chance of weakening them, or further detain the meeting try allusion to them. Before sitting down, however, as the only layman present who in all likelihood would have the honour of ad- dressing the meeting, he trusted he might be allowed to express his feelings as in perfect unison with those ad- mirably characteristic remarks which had been made by the Lord Bishop of Chester, in reference to the amiable character and benevolence and usefulness of that venerable man who has been taken from amongst us, and in whom every one feels that our loss has indeed been great. The resolution was put from the chair and carried unani- mously. A hymn was then sung, during which a collection was made. The Rev. R. CALDWELL, missionary from Tinnevelly, rose to move the second resolution, and on doing so was receeived with loud applause. He read the resolution, which set forth the reasons for thankfulness for the circumstance that "whilst fresh channels have been, through the grace of God opened up among the heathen and in our colonies, the Society, and its friends cannot but rejoice in the appointment Of twenty-six chaplains to our sick and wounded soldiers in the East." The reverend gentleman proceeded to say that the three great objects which the Society had in view were alluded to in the resolution, and that all of them were of deep interest. It would be more particularly his duty to speak of the operations of the Society in relation to the heathen, and that even more especially in reference to India, where we have no less than a hundred and twenty-five millions of in- habitants, a hundred and twenty millions of whom were our fellow-subjects. The Hindoos, he remarked, had a special claim upon the inhabitants of Lancashire and of Liverpool. Once we were altogether dependent upon them for all the cotton we received. Now matters are so completely changed that they are entirely dependent on us for their supplies of cotton goods ; and Liverpool, whose traffic embraces all quarters of the world, had great intercourse with all the ports of India. But surely it could never for a moment be supposed by any one that the dominion over that vast tract of fertile land, and that enor- mous population had been given us by Divine Providence merely for the sake of selling cottons. No, such ascendancy was permitted us merely that we might be instruments in uprooting the dark heathenism by which the land was over- shadowed. The heathenism of India was the most compact and systematic which had ever been presented to observation. Compared with it the heathenism of Greece and Rome was trivial and childish. From this cause the operation of mis- sionary labour in India had not been so great or so encouraging as could have been wished; but still much had been achieved, so much as to give great encouragement to further exertion. In the. Presidency of Madras the first missionary effort, had been made, and there, as might have been expected the greatest, amount of good had been effected. In that Presidency there is now a native Christian popula- tion amounting to nearly 80,000 souls. (Cheers.) Many of these, no doubt, are of the poorest classes. The object of the Society was to teach the downcast to arise—the Pariah and the outcast to look on himself as man. (Cheers.) Com- mencing with the lower classes, the missionary movement had begun to grow upwards, and now included many of the higher classes. For this their thanks were mainly due to the Scotch Presbyterians, who, by the founding of schools and ad- dressing themselves to the children, have succeeded in estab- lishing a rising generation of Christians. The Society's mis- sionaries had emulated this process with satisfactory success ; still the credit was not the less due to those who had origi- nated the system. (Cheers.) In the district of Tinnevelly' where he had been stationed for 17 years, there is now a Christian population of 40,000 individuals, and the numbers of these have been steadily, although not rapidly, on the in- crease. No backward step had ever occurred ; sometimes the advance was not great, but it had always been less or more an advance. In that district there were missionaries belonging to the Church Missionary Society, and those of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, but they work well and harmoniously together, The progress had always been onwards and improving. The Christian character extends its influence even to the improvement of the temper, circum- stances, and appearances of the people, and to the character of their villages and houses, and this because it teaches them to respect themselves. In conclusion, he repeated that India has especial claims upon the consideration of the Society. It is anxious to do more than at present it is able to accomplish. It cannot do more unless supported by the prayers and good wishes, and by the purses of the Christian community. In its circumstances, to stand still would be to go back ; but in its operations are seen the work of God, and the fulfilment of Christ's mission, the salvation of the whole human race. The Rev. Dr. TA.TLOE, on rising to second the resolution, was received with a welcome of hearty applause. On its sub- sidence, he proceeded to say that the claims and objects of the Society had been so ably set forth by the preceding speakers as to leave little room for him to make any re- marks. If he made any, however, he would suggest that its operations should be extended and made wider. That under its influence the standard of the cross should be borne onward, and never cease while there was a single unregenerate(' son of Adam to reclaim. The Society had established its claim on general support by the inestimable value of its operations. This would be more apparent when it was recollected that to its exertions mainly we have been indebted for the establishment of thirty colonial dioceses and thirty bishops, with a working staff of clergymen ; and to its exertions, also, might safely be attributed the existence of the e be episcopate,gged cordially t h itt so st he ci or tnyd. - fit vhee br ei ssho lotpi tsi. nw hcioc nh ell ei or ni ca, on being put from the chair, was unanimously carried.

TESTIMONIAL TO THE REV. FIELDIN GOULD. THE interesting ceremony of presenting to the Rev. Fielding Ould a testimonial of respect and esteem, from the members of his late congregation, took place last night, in the Girls' School-room, Christian-street. Mr. Mocatta was in the chair, and amongst those present were the Rev. B. S. Clarke, Rev. Mr. Cowan, Rev. Mr. Risk, &c. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said that the. subject on which they Were met might be regarded in a two- fold point of view—firstly, as one of deep regret ; and, secondly, as one of congratulation. The Rev. Fielding Ould had, for a period of twenty years, zealously, faithfully, and affectionately discharged the duties of Incumbent of Christ Church, and was now about to leave for a new sphere of usefulness. Though all must rejoice at the kindness of the Bishop in recognising services so performed, yet all felt regret at the separation which it involved. The schools were objects of his deep solici- tude, and the result of his care was most gratifying. Their prayers would follow Mr. Ould, for whose happiness they would be anxious. The speaker (hddressing Mr. Ould) said, " You know my own personal feelings towards you. I have enjoyed sweet intercourse with you; and, upon every occasion, derived benefit." He concluded by reading the following address : TO THE REV. FIELDING OULD, 8.A., ON HIS RETIREMENT FROM THE INCUMBENCY OF CHRIST CHURCH, LIVERPOOL, Rev. and Dear Sir,—We have learned with sincere regret that the bonds which have hitherto united you to us are about to be severed, and that you have been called away, in the Providence of God, to minister in another sphere of duty. We cannot allow a connection of nearly twenty years to ter- minate without expressing the sentiments we entertain to- wards yourself personally, and our appreciation of your long, zealous, and profitable labours amongst us. The faithfulness with which you have preached to us the gospel of our salvation—the earnest devotedness of your life and conversation—the efficiency of your private, as well as public ministrations—and your constant readiness to prove yourself the true friend, no less than the faithful pastor ; all these have engaged our warmest affections, and now cause us to deplore more deeply your approaching removal. While, however, we regret the event which deprives us of your valuable ministry, we cannot but congratulate you on the advantages we hope you will derive from the change, and, at the same time, admire the wisdom, as well as the kindness, which has prompted the Bishop of this Diocese to select you for so desirable a preferment. The accompanying purse we have the pleasure of presenting as a small, though inadequate token of our esteem and regard. We beg your acceptance of it more as an index of the feelings that prompt it, than from any consideration of value in itself. And now, Reverend and Dear Sir, in taking leave of you, we desire to assure you of our continued and abiding respect. Our prayers accompany you to the scene of your future labours. May God grant you to be an instrument, in His hands, of much usefulness to the souls of your new charge, as we are confident you have been to many amongst those from whom you are now about to be removed. - Entreating for yourself and your family the richest bless- ings of a merciful and gracious God, we commend you to His care and protection here, and desire for you an abundant entrance into His kingdom and glory hereafter. Signed, on behalf of the Congregation of Christ Christ, Liverpool __ 3AA.IIRICE MOCATTA, Chairman of the Commmittee, Liverpool, Ist October, 1855. The Rev. FIELDING OULD then read his reply, after which he said " This would be my formal answer. But I will not stop here." He would go a little further. He would, in the first place, allude to the demise of the Venerable Rector of the parish, which melancholy event coincided with his separation. The Archdeacon discharged the duties of his sacred office for nearly twenty years, and, whether as a clergyman or a magistrate, gained the respect of all who came within his sphere. He is now gone to receive the re- ward of his labours, and has left a high example to his suc- cessor. For several years he (Mr. Ould) enjoyed his counsel, and the benefit which he (though ministering in a compara- tively obscure church, but densely populated district) derived made a lasting impression on his mind. The Rev. gentleman said his separation awoke feelings of regret, but ue hoped he could carry with him the prayers of the dense and highly respectable assemblage before him. He could not but feel grateful for the considerate feeling which prompted thebishopto recognisehis services, such as they were, and appoint him to a sphere more congenial to his own feelings, and conducire to the health of his family. He felt that increased years, with their infirmities, prevented his discharging his ministerial duties as he ought; but nevertheless, the schools were objects of his unceasing care. In them he found his strength. There were many incidents connected with them. He would just mention one. While seated in the vestry-room at Christ Church a few days since, a gentleman entered, who introduced himself to him. Four- teen years had elapsed since he saw him. They engaged in conversation, and the stranger, who sixteen years since came to this town to embark in mercantile pursuits, acknowledged the obligation which he was under to him while attending his church, and teaching at the school. Then his mind first acquired religious. impressions. He gave up mercantile pursuits, entered St. Bees, and took orders. The Arch- bishop of Canterbury presented him to two livings, and he was now pastor of an extensive living in Yorkshire. This was one of the many instances of good which resulted from the school. For .the kindness shown him he was deeply grateful. If his successor chose to mark out a path for hini- self, he wished him an abundant success—" if he would rather burn brightly before you, than trim his lamp by my humble light, I trust his efforts will be crowned with success." He would now wish them farewell, in the hope that they would meet before that Almighty in whose presence there was fulness of joy, and at WhOie right hand there were pleasures forever- more." Mr. BRARELL added his grateful testimony to the benefit he derived from the ministrations of the Rev. Mr. Ould. The meeting then separated, those present eagerly iciessing to bid the Rev. Mr. Ould, whose departure they so much re- gretted, farewell. A purse, containing nearly 200 sovereigns, accompanied the address. COMMERCIAL and MONETARY NETVS. MONDAY NIGHT. THE money market during the week has been in a state of commotion, owing to the decline in the funds so soon after the fall of Sebastopol, and the further application of the screw by the Bank of England in the minimum rate of discount. Consols, which a short time since were steady at 91, have declined about 22 per cent., and Exchequer Bills are a trifle below par, but there is rather a better feeling, and the tendency is upward. The returns of the Bank of England show another decline in the stock of bullion, but we have commented on the suject at more length in a leading article. For commercial purposes there has been an active demand for money, but the pressure is now easier, and foreign exchanges are rather more favour- able. The market at Manchester has been dull and prices have slightly given way, owing partly, perhaps, to the decline in the value of the raw material. Manufacturers have, however, been well employed in the execution of previous orders, so that there is no great accumulation of stocks. The Woollen trade has been upon the whole of a satisfactory character. The Board of Trade returns for the month ending the 31st of August have just been issued. Compared with the corresponding month of last year they show an increase in the declared value of our exportations of £107,759. Among the most prominent items on the favourable side are silk manufactures, woollen and linen yarn, and the various miscellaneous products comprised under the head of unenumerated articles. On the other side the chief features observable are still those consequent upon the diminution of the Australian trade. The following table exhibits the exact increase or decrease in the exportation of each article :--- DECLARED VALUE OP EXPORTATIONS. Month ending Sept. 5, Aug. 31, Incr'se.

Coincident with the demand for breadstuffs there has been an augmented impor- tation of rice, as was also the case last month. The consumption of other articles of food or luxury has been upon a scale to indicate the exercise of economy on the part of the people, induced probably by the hiol price of grain. Thus tea, coffee, cocoa, sugar, 9 spirits, fruits, and spices all show a decline.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 29.—Our market to-day was not well attended, and we have had, on the whole, but a limited business in wheat of any description ; the trade, however, ruled firm, and we continue the full rates of Tuesday for. old samples, and even a little more made for some sorts of Foreign, but the value of new wheats has been scarcely so well supported; of home-grown new wheat a fair show of samples appeared to-day, and upon a mode- rate demand from local millers supported Tuesday's rates. The flour trade moves slowly with the turn in favour of buyers. Bar- ley and beans steady upon a moderate demand. Peas held for several shillings advance, which checks further business.—Oats and oatmeal rule very dull to-day; new of each article offering Id per bushel and Is per load cheaper. Indian corn was held for 6d per quarter advance at the commencement of the market, which checked buyers for Ireland, and the trade closed scarcely better than Tuesday; but this improvement was steadily made for Egyptian and similar feeding qualities, much of which has been cleared off within these few days.

Beans in good demand, and Is dearer, both English and foreign. No change in oats or oatmeal. Barley, 3d per bushel dearer and scarce. PRESTON, SEPT. 29.—There was a good supply of new English wheat at market to-day. Fine samples for seed fetched very high prices, and all kinds in good order found buyers at the currency of last Saturday, but some parcels, from being so much out of condition, were entirely neglected. The supply of Irish is like- wise very soft, and consequently difficult to quit. English flour unchanged. Spanish is per sack higher. New oats Id per bushel cheaper. Although the imports of new oatmeal barely keep pace with the demand, there was a reduction of 6d per load. WAKEFIELD, SEPT. 2S.—New wheat was 2s and old Is to 2s per quarter dearer. The market was very firm ; barley 2s and beans is per quarter higher; oats and shelling brought rather more money. WISBECH, SEPT. 29.—T0-day there has been more wheat showing; one half of the samples are brown and coarse, weighing from 57Ibs. to (*Albs., and a few up to 621bs. and 631bs. per bushel. The trade is slow at an advance of Is to 2s per quarter. At a little below these rates all would have been soon cleared off. No beans offering. Oats firm. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, SEPT. 29.—T0-day there was a large supply of farmers' wheat, mostly new; condition rather im- proved. The whole met a brisk sale. Fine samples brought Is per quarter advance; inferior fully as dear. Old wheat is per quarter dearer. but little passing, holders generally asking more money. Fine Norfolk old red sold at 86s per quarter, new ditto 858. Old foreign hell at from 85s to 90s per quarter. The first sample of new malting barley brought 40s per quarter, old grind- ing 37s to 38s. Beans and pease scarce, and the turn dearer. The supplies of oats are moderate, generally of the new crop: demand very good, and prices fully is per quarter higher than this day week. CORK, SEPT. 29.—The flour market has been strong and lively this week, prices of all kinds tending upwards. Foreign wheats are a short supply, and very little on offer. Indian corn has but light consumption at about late rates. Farmers contiue to deliver freely under the encouragement of high prices. DUBLIN, SEPT. 28.—There was a good supply of wheat, and a poor one of other descriptions of new grain at market to-day., The currencies of Tuesday were about supported for everything and in some cases a trifling advance was realized on the best samples of wheat. Indian corn was held for higher rates, but the transactions were very small. _ I White Wheat... 41s Oct to4stiOd Oats, new.... lss Od to 17s Od Red do ...., 39s Od to 43s Od Rapeseed 40s Od to 44s 6tl New wheat . ... 375 Od to 42s 6d Oatmeal.. lss Od to 17s Od Barley, grind... 17s Od to 20s Od Bakers' Flour 24s Od to 27s Od Bere 13s 9d to 17s 60 Indian Corn, Oats, old l7s 00 to 19s 6d per 4801 b.... 40s Od to 42s 00

COURT AND FASHION. ON Saturday, Alderman Salomons was elected Lord Mayor of London for the ensuing year. LORD PANMUBE is confined to his residence by an attack of gout. IT is said that the Earl of Sefton leaves early next month with a detachment of the Guards for the Crimea, and that Croxteth is to be closed. ON Friday, Alderman Kennedy and Alderman Rose, the newly elected sheriffs of London and Middlesex, were sworn in at Guildhall before the Lord Mayor and Aldermen. RETURN OF THE COURT.—The Queen is expected to re- turn from Balmoral on Friday, the 12th, travelling by the. Aberdeen and Scottish Midland and Scottish Central Railways to Edinburgh, and thence, on Saturday, by the East Coast lines and Great Northern to London. THE movements of the Royal Family at Balmoral occupy a very brief space in the Court Circular. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, with their Royal guest, Prince William of Prussia, hive made several excursions in the neighbourhood, while the junior branches of the Royal family have taken bracing exercise in the grounds of Balmoral. BALMORAL, FRIDAY.—The unfavourable state of the weather this morning renders her Majesty's movements and those of the royal family uncertain for to-day, as well as those of their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert and Prince Frederick William of Prussia, and if the rain should not cease the Queen and the royal party will most probably merely take a carriage drive.—Sir George Grey, secretary of state for the home department, is expected to arrive' here on Wednesday next, and will relieve the Duke of Argyll as minister in at- tendance on her Majesty. Sir George Grey will remain at Balmoral until the return of the court to England, and will accompany the Queen south.—His Royal Highness Prince Frederick 'William of Prussia is expected to take leave of her Majesty the early part of next week to return to the con- tinent. MARRIAGE OF A CRIMEAN HERO.-011 Friday the neigh- bourhood of Richmond, Surrey, was the scene of unusual' gaiety, in consequence of arrangements which had been made for the marriage of Major Shakespear, of the Royal Artillery, a Crimean hero, to Louisa Caroline, second daughter of Robert Sayer, Esq., of the Manor-house, Richmond. The nuptial ceremony was performed at Richmond Church, in the presence of a vast number of the military and civil friends of the bride and bridegroom, after which a splendid dePuner, supplied by Gunter, to upwards of one hundred guests, was laid out in an elegant marquee, erected on the lawn in the rear of the Manor- house, by B. Edgington. Subsequently the happy pair pro- ceeded by the South-Western Railway en route to Corfu, from whence the bridegroom, Major Shakespear, will proceed to join his corps in the Crimea. The entertainments at the Manor- house were kept up till a very late hour, and produced general. hilarity in the locality.

CHESHIRE AN]) WALES.. THE Carnarvon Herald says that Prince Louis Lucien Bonaparte has been travelling in Wales in search of Welch books. He was accompanied by his Welsh tutor, the Rev. R. Jones. WILLIAM PEMBERTON, who stated that he was an attorney residing at Cabbage-hall, Liverpool, was charged at the Bir- kenhead Police-court, on Monday, with being drunk and dis- orderly at Mr. Gough's Woodside Hotel, on Sunday evening, and was fined ss. A SCREW, invented by Mr. Scott, of the Tranmere Foundry was on Friday successfully tried in a new steam barge, the Victoria, built at the Canada Works, by Messrs. Peto and Co. The Victoria is to be employed in the Thames, in the building of the new-bridge at Westminster. THE second new ferry steamer which is being built by Mr. John Laird•for the commissioners of Birkenhead, and intended for the Woodside station, will be launched in a few days. It was intended at one time to call her the Birkenhead, but that name has been changed to that of the Empress Eugenie, in honour of the Empress of France. EmpEzzLEmE.Nr. —On Friday, at the Birkenhead Police- court. James Fitzsimmon, was .charged with embezzling £5 17s. dd. belonging to Mrs. Mliennie, of the Vitriol Works, Dublin. The Prisoner"absconded with the money on Saturday week. Mrs. M`Kennie stated that she did not wish to press the charge on account ,of the respectability of the prisoner's friends, and he was consequently discharged. A RAILWAY STATION DESTROYED BY FIRE.—The Bullo Pill Railway station, on the Squth Wales Railway, about 12 miles from Gloucester, has been totally destroyed, by fire, sup- posed to have been caused by a policeman, when lighting his lamp, throwing a half-extinguished match on the floor. The station was built entirely of wood. A porter named Fryer, who detected the flames, rescued some of the account hooks, but the cash-box, eontaiuing two £5 notes and £lO in silver, was consumed. THE sloop. Eva, of Chester, the property of Mr. Eyton, Llanerchymedd Lead Works, Holywell, J. P. Jones, Flint, master, sailed from Liverpool on the 19th ult., for Douglas, Isle of Man, and arrived there in twelve hours, having on -b-ollrcl 18-tons ballast, dischar.-ed• it, loaded 50 tons •lead-ore, and arrived at Greenfield, in the river Dee, after having accom- plished the round from'Liverpool to Douglas, returning to the Dee, in 48 hours. This is said, to be the quickest passage on record accomplished by a coaling vessel. - TRADE 02 SWANSEI.—The rapid increase in the trade of Swansea has been strikingly evinced during the past month, whereby it is shown that since February last the shipping tonnage cleared out from the port has more than doubled. In that month the registered tonnage of the vessels that cleared out was 24,872, whereas the last return shows an increase to 49,000 tons, the number .of ships amounting to 500, and the actual tonnage to upwards of 70,000 tons. This is an impor- tant increase, and is a fact indicative of the healthy state of trade in the southern part of Wales. FRAUDULENT WEIGHTS AND SCALES.—At the Birkenhead Police-court, on Thursday, John Smith, potato dealer, .of Wellington-street, Tranmere, was summoned by Inspector Griffith, for an unjust pair of scales, which were 6 oz. against the purchaser, and a piece of loose lead, when removed, caused a balance of 13 oz. against the purchaser. He was, also sum- moned for having a 141 b. weight 42 oz. light, a 41b. weight 1- oz., another 41b. weight 6 drachms, and a 21b. weight 2 oz, making a total of upwards of 6 oz. deficiency. The defend- ant was mulcted in a penalty of 10s. and costs. TRANISTERE.—PREPARATIONS FOR REJOICING.—We hear that in consequence of its having been suggested to the autho- rities of Tranmere thata loyal demonstration on the 9th instant, to commemorate the Crimean victories, and especially the fall of Sebastopol, would meet with a hearty response from all classes in the township, the.overseers, Messrs. Hill and Courter, have promptly taken measures to insure such a result, by calling together a committee of the principal inhabitants to make the necessary preparations, which we understand will be on a large and gratifying scale, and which are also intended as a compliment to one of the Crimean heroes, His Royal High- ness the Duke of Cambridge, who will .be staying with Lord Derby at Knowsley, and intends to visit Liverpool and the River Mersey on the same day. ASSAULT.—At four o'clock on Sunday morning, John Gur- ney, tinplate-worker, Grange-lane, Birkenhead, was found in a very exhausted state, lying near the Wellington Hotel. He was bleedingly profusely from a dangerous wound which he had sustained on the left side of his forehead, and was other- wise severely beaten. He was conveyed by a police-officer to the Dispensary, where he stated that he had quarrelled with his wife, who, in the affray, struck him violently with a jug, or a candlestick, on the head. His wounds were dressed, after which he was removed to his house, probably to be nursed by niMitc.A.ersixasd.—inA. t. sontmcoclalieLr his belligerent better half. sAaWndIN Penywaun, on the 4th ult. for brutally ill-treating his williester.

Raving been well paraded, he was brought back to Llwydcoed, when he was taken down from his wooden horse, and feelingly and impressively addressed by two of his Lynching attendants, in a short speech, on the wickedness of his conduct; and then repentantly went down upon his knees and promised never to beat his wife again. FESTIVITIES AT EATON-HALL.—On Tuesday the Marquis of Westminster celebrated the re-opening of Eaton-hall, which has been undergoing alterations during the last four years, by giving a dcgeuner to most of the principal nobility in the southern part of the county, as well as to the clergy, military officers, and all persons holding official situations, in the city and county of Chester. The day was beautifully fine, and the old city of Chester presented an exalted appearance in conse- quence of the incessant arrivals and departures of carriagrs, cabs, omnibuses, &c., filled with gaily-dressed company, who created quite a stir in the sleeping rows and streets. The ad- mission to the hall was by ticket, but the park was open, as usual, to the public, who crowded all the spots where a good view of the hall and the brilliant company was attainable. The marquis engaged most of the cabs and omnibuses in Chester, to convey his visitors from the railway to the hall, at is. a head, and stated the same in some of his notes of invita- tion. This, we are informed, led to the refusal of the invitation by many gentlemen, particularly from this neighbourhood. A SPECIAL SESSION was held at Birkenhead, on Friday, for the purpose of renewing the licenses of those public-houses which had been suspended through the misconduct of the te- nants. The magistrates were General Sir Edward Cust, J. D. Case, Esq., and J. S. Jackson, Esq. The following licenses were renewed Glazebrooke, John Bebbington, Wm. Artbury, Joseph Gouldsone, Thomas Wingfield, George Jones, and John Savage Williams, Birkenhead ; James Webster, New Ferry ; Thomas Dransfield, Ann Brough, and Ann Garner, Tranmere ; Ann Guile, Great Neston ; Maria Langley, Upton; and William Crobbe, Gayton. The bench then proceeded to hear the case of Robinson v. the Overseers of Liscard : On behalf of the appellant it was alleged that his property had been assessed by the overseers at £75, while other pro- perty of-a similar size in the locality was only rated at froth £33 to £4O. The rate-book was put in, from which it appeared that the respondents, in the first instance, had assessed the preMises at £6O, but at a subsequent period had rated them at £BO. The assessment was reduced by the bench to £55. Jones v. the Highroad Surveyors of Bebington : The appel- lant, Mr. Hope Jones, sought to compel the respondents to repair a road leading from Lower Bebington to Higher Beb. ington. 'The surveyors objected, on the ground that the road in question had never been adopted by the township, nor had it ever been considered as a public road. William Sparks; 84 years old, stated that he had known the road in dispute to be used as a public-thoroughfare for upwards of N years. The Bench were of opinion that the road was a public one, although there might be a point as to who should repair it. Mr. Rymer, on behalf of the appellant, contended that the surveyors were solely liable. The case was then adjourned. AT Belfast, on Wednesday, Mr. Horsman, at a public din- ner, after contrasting the state of Ireland eight years ago with the present time, said, " And if the former was a time of difficulty, there is a contrast now from one end of the country to the other; and 1 believe that during the last five or six years there is not a country on the face of the earth has made such 'a rapid and sudden advancement in every physical, ma- terial, moral, intellectual, and religious aspect." ELIZA TURNER, a housemaid in the service of Dr. W. H. Neville, of Esher, hanged herself in her bedroom on Friday. On the drawers were two pieces of paper, on which were written the following :—" Please to look over the plate and linen. If any of the sheets are missing you will find them under the bed. Lucy (her fellow servant), perhaps you will now see the unkind manner in which you have treated me. Good bye." The de- ceased had latterly been disappointed in her affections, and had several times said she would throw herself into the water. THE STEAMER ERICSSON, Captain Lowber, arrived off Cowes, on Saturday, from New York, on her way to Bremen, after a passage of a little over thirteen days, during which, for the most part, she encountered strong adverse winds and boisterous weather. The Ericsson left New York on the 15th ult. This ship was built in the United States for the purpose of testing on a large scale the caloric principle of propulsion, and applying it to transatlantic navigation. The system proving a failure, the expensive machinery with which the Ericsson was fitted has been entirely discarded, and the vessel has been supplied with steam engines and boilers on the or- dinary plan. The Ericsson is one of the most beautifully modelled ocean steamers the Americans have yet produced, and is of 2,200 tons burden. After one or two successful voyages between Havre and New York she has been placed on the New York, Southampton, and Bremen line. LETTER FROM MISS NIGIITINGALE.—" Scutari, Barrack Hospital, August 18.—Dear Mrs. —, I very much regret to be obliged to inform you that your husband, —, of the Artillery, was brought in here sick of diarrhoea, with symptoms of fever, on the 11th of August, from the Crimea. He asked me fbr a religious book, and I gave him the enclosed. He told me afterwards that he liked it very much, and so I send it to you, with another, which he was already reading, a New Testament, and a letter of yours which was under his pillow, and his purse, containing £1 ls. He was taken worse on the 13th, and became delirious. He was most carefully at- tended by two doctors, by the chaplain, by myself, and by a kind and skilful nurse. He was very grateful and good, but alas ! nothing could save- him, and he died at eleven o'clock the same night. How sorry lam to tell you this bad news I cannot say-. For the little I saw of your huSbaild I Should say that his was a heart turned to God, and accepted by Him. Let us hope that what is your loss is his gain. He oft6n spoke of you.

British empire were of two classes, 6olonies and dependencies. The work of the society was different in those different classes of provinces. To the latter missionaries were sent for the conversion of the heathen to the knowledge of the gospel, and in the colonies their object was to establish churches for the administration of the rites of religion, for the gathering together of the people for public worship, and for preaching the word of God. It belonged to him to speak to them of the work of the society in the colonies alone. His see was the province of Victoria, and he wished to trace the history of the Church in the colony, to show its progress in con- nection with the aid which it had received from the Pro- pagation Society. The province of Victoria was first oc- cupied in 1834 and 1835, by enterprising individuals who crossed over from Van Dieman's Land. In 1836 it was publicly proclaimed as an appendage to New South Wales. In 1839 it was placed under the distinct government of a superintendent, and was then called by the name of the District of Port Philip. In 1851, in consequence of the ih- crease of population, wealth, and importance, it was constituted a distinct province under the rule of a Lieu- tenant-Governor. It was founded in 1835, in 1846 the census was taken. It amounted to 32,879. In 1851 the zensus of the population was taken again, when it had reached to the number of 77,345. The original settlers were owners of flocks, and the owners of small capital wishing to establish themselves in business, and others artizans and labourers. Very few of those were anxious to get the ministrations of a clergyman, or listen to the Word of God. They went there for secular purposes. And here he wished to remark, that a great deal of the subsequent diffi- culty which was encountered resulted from no ministers having accompanied those persons in the first instance. The public services were, for a long time, conducted by laymen. In 1846 there were in the province seven towns and villages, and only two clergymen. In 1847 he was appointed to the bishopric, and it was to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel that he, as well as many other bishops, owed his ap- pointment. (Hear, hear.) He arrived in Melbourne in 1848, and there were then three clergymen for the whole diocese. But by means of the aid he received from the Society, the three were raised to eleven in 1848 ; from eleven to sixteen in 1850 ; from sixteen to twenty in 1801; and from twenty to twenty-four in 1852. In 1851 he called a conference of the clergy and laity of his diocese, and he laid before them the pecuniary state of the Church, and a resolution to this effect was agreed to, acknowledging, whilst it was lawful to receive aid from the State, it was, notwithstanding, the duty of every Christian community to provide for the promulga- tion of the gospel, and the maintenance of ministers, provided they have the necessary means ; and that, by God's blessing, the members of the Church in the colony did possess such means. Thus, in four years after the appointment of a bishop in Victoria, by the assistance of the Church in this country, the people of Victoria were brought to acknowledge their responsibility, and to admit their responsibility to main- tain the Church in their own territory. In 1852 the whole body of clergy in the diocese was maintained almost entirely by voluntary- contributions ; and if the gold fields had not been discovered, they might, with comparatively little assistance from England, have maintained the existing body of clergy, and extended the Church according to the growing wants and necessities of the colony. (Hear, hear.) They might probably like to know something about the Church in Victoria since; and those who wished for detailed informa- tion upon this point he would refer to No. 33 of " The Church in the Colonies." An erroneous impression prevailed as to the result of the discovery of the gold fields. The gold fields were discovered in 1851. The first effect of them was to produce an immediate rush of all the able-bodied men from the towns. The next effect was a great influx of people from the neighbouring colonies, and an influx from England and other countries. There was a great increase in the cost of the necessaries of life, of labour, of all articles of food and clothing, of house-rent, &e. In the last ten months of 1851, 10,930 persons arrived in the colony; in 1852, 63,626; and in 1853, 49,869—upwards of 100,000 persons entered the colony in two years. The circumstances arising out of the discovery of the gold fields involved clergymen in great difficulties, on account of the insufficiency of their incomes to meet the in- creased prices. Their salaries varied from £450 to £6OO, but in Australia this was not equivalent to half the sum in this country. In 1854, some government aid having been with- drawn, he was obliged to draw upon all other resources to provide sufficient stipends for the clergy who had arrived in that year. Then it was that the aid of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel came in most happily. They granted him £5OO a year (hear, hear) ; and the Colonial Church School Society made him another, and with this assistance he was enabled to make up the stipends of his

Mr. A. Herrmann, of Queen- street, Soho, had been quite bald for some time past, and had tried various preparations for the recovery of his hair, but without any beneficial result. He was then induced to try the effects of " Rowlands' Macassar Oil," and after daily applying it for about two months, he, much to his gratification, bad his hair quite restored, and now possesses a beautiful head of hair. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require commeut.—Bell's Weekly Messenger. .

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

COMMERCIAi and MONETARY NEWS. MONDAY NIGHT. Tit E Public Funds have been subject to fluctuations during the week, but owing to the causes which have operated being of a totally opposite character, the actual change in value has not been very great. On Tuesday the intelligence from the seat of war of the fall of Sebastopol, by the evacuation of the Russian army, led to an immediate rise, of which many availed themselves the next day to realise ; and as there were also large sales of Stock, said to have been by the Bank of England, with the view of avoiding the necessity of raising the rate of discount, the Funds declined, and as on Thursday the Bank directors decided on an advance from 4 to 41 per cent., the decline was per- manent. On Friday the returns of the Bank of England showed another decrease in the stock of bullion to the extent £721,742, owing partly to de- mands for export, accompanied also by small receipts. We have, however, made some observations on this subject in a leading article. Money for commercial purposes has been more in demand, and bankers have raised the rate of interest for deposits on call from 31 to 31 per cent. The foreign exchanges have, however, improved, and recent receipts of specie will no doubt put a check to the decline. With reference to the alteration in the Bank rate of discount, the Times, in its money article, says :--- The Gazette returns of the last and present week will doubtless exhibit diminutions in the amount of notes unem- ployed and in the stock of bullion calculated to excite anxiety, but for the knowledge now afforded previously to their appear- ance that a vigorous check has been applied. Little question seems to be entertained that the instalment of £1,000,000 sterling paid yesterday (Thursday) on the Turkish loan will forthwith be sent in sovereigns to Constantinople, and that during the next five months the remaining £3,000,000 will be despatched in a similar manner. The Australian arrivals, moreover, are still delayed, only £176,000 having been received out of £BOO,OOO that may be considered due ; and, finally, the extraordinary firmness of the corn market in the face of a satisfactory harvest at home, and of an unusual surplus in the United States and Canada, has disappointed all expectations, and led to the transmission of large orders, accompanied by specie, to the Danube and elsewhere. Under these circum- stances the Bank had no alternative in deciding upon a fur- ther and immediate rise, especially as there was not the remotest prospect of its suddenness causing panic or even inconvenience in any quarter. Although commerce has lately assumed increased activity, there are no signs of undue specu- lation either in the manufacturing towns or on the London Stock Exchange, and the news of the fall of Sebastopol has imparted a feeling of confidence, the effect of which will be much more powerful in sustaining trade than that of the present notification in depressing it. There is, consequently, no reason to depart from the conviction that everything will go on smoothly, and that,even if further measures should be requisite, they will not produce any disturbance. Some persons aredisposed to believe that a return to 5 per cent. will be adopted before the close of the year, but the drain of specie just witnessed has been so sudden, and has so evidently resulted from a combina- tion of unusual causes, that it will be against all experience if an early reaction is not witnessed. The Bank of England rate for advances on Government securities during the shutting of the transfer books has been raised simultaneously with the rate of discount, and will now be 4 instead of 32 per cent. The discount houses to-day were unprepared for the step taken by the bank, and resolved to delay till to-morrow their decision regarding their future rate of allowance for money at call. The joint-stock banks advanced their rate for fixed de- posits, and the London and Westminster, the London Joint- stock, and the Union now allow 31- per cent." The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the Bth of September gives the following results, when compared with the previous week : Public Deposits ... £7,591,337 ; Increase ... £323,368 Other Deposits ... 10,979,353 ; Decrease... 127,665 Rest ... 3,637,340; Increase ... 8,617 On the other side of the account : Government Securities £13,031,088; Other Securities Notes unemployed The amount of notes in circulation is £20,142,150, being a decrease of £37,475, and the stock of bullion in both departments is £14,217,376, showing a decrease of £721,742, when compared with the preceding return.

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

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. A POLITICAL prisoner named Mancini has just escaped from prison, where he had feigned insanity for some months. It is supposed that he got on board one of the French steamers that ply between Ripa Grande and Civita Vecchia, and the police are in a great rage at his flight, because he was consi- dered to be Mazzini's head man after the Advocate Petroni. NAPLE3.—A correspondent of the Morning Post, writing from Naples, under date of August 25, says, " Persecution continues unabated. I send you some examples, although in themselves perhaps ridiculous. The Neapolitian aristocracy, well known for its base and ignorant administration of all the cruelties committed by the King and his agents, has at last itself fallen under the lash of the all-powerful police. The Prince Palliano Colonna's salons at Capo di Monte are thrown open once a week to all the elite of the Neapolitan beau monde, as well as to foreigners of distinction. A few evenings ago the entrance of the palace was invaded by ths police, who insisted on taking down the names of all the guests as they left their carriages. The porter, not under- standing the meaning of the proceeding, remonstrated, and a row ensued, which reached the rooms above, alarm- ing the company. The Duke of Sangro, who had just been obliged to sign his name, explained the story. The panic was such that all the company, headed by the Minister of War, Prince Tschitella, and including foreigners, instantly left the house, so that at eleven O'clock there was nothing to be seen but lights and melting ices. This occurrence, with similar facts, have created a feeling of intense animosity against Mazza, Minister of Police, who is indifferent to public opinion, possessing his sovereign's confidence. On a late occasion the Duke of Birona, a well- known person in Naples, was reported by a .epy, who visited his house, as having spoken against the severities of the police, whereupon his doorway was watched by police agents, and himself carefully looked after. The duke waited upon the King and complained of these proceedings, stating that he had always been attached to the royal cause. His Majesty replied that that might be, but now he was imbued with the spirit of opposition to the government. Yesterday, the persons who on a late occasion accompanied a deceased deputy to the grave, were imprisoned for so doing. In fact, lam tired of narrating the injustice which takes place every day in this unhappy city. The King seems to be bent on bringing him- self into trouble by offending all classes. The King and go- vernment, as you are aware, are thoroughly Russian, and the Swiss soldiers are schooled to hate France and England. SPAIN.--According to the Madrid Gazette of the 10th inst. the " forced loan " will be made up by voluntary contributions. A despatch of the 11th says :—"Not less than 450,213 domains were sold to-day ; the upset price was three millions and a half (of reals), and the purchasing price seven millions."—A band of insurgents, who had made their appearance in the province of Madrid, have been completely destroyed. All goes well at Barcelona.—The Clamor Publico says that five infan- try regiments are to be suppressed. The death of the Bishop of Santander is announced. The floating debt rose during the month of August by 1,000,000 reals, and was on the 31st ult. 606,043,333 reals. ( The real is worth five sous.) The cholera continues at Tolosa, Zarauz, Fontarabia, and other towns on the Bidassoa ; it is also increasing in the Asturias.—The Spa- nish papers announce a sad affair at Malaga a few days ago. Four English sailors, in a state of intoxication, got into a fight with some men, and one of the sailors was killed and another wounded. Three of the assailants were arrested. BRAZILS AND RIVER PLATE.—The Great Western arrived on Thursday, with dates from Buenos Ayres to the 2d of August ; Monte Video, sth ; Rio Janeiro, 14th ; Bahia, 18th; Pernambuco, 21st ; St. Vincent, 30th ; Teneriffe, September 4th ; Madeira, sth ; and Lisbon, 9th. At Buenos Ayres mea- sures were being taken to trace the accomplices in the late conspiracy against the government, but without success. The position of the new ministry was precarious, and it was cur- rently reported that the militia forces on the southern frontier against the Indians had disbanded themselves. Rumours were also in circulation of a combination of all parties in Monte Video against the Brazilians. At Rio the parliament was about to close. The senate had approved a bill for the indem- nification of the prizes made during the war of independence, and also had ordered payment to be made to the Earl of Dun- donald. A bill had also been passed which extended the liberty of voting. At Bahia yellow fever had disappeared, but cholera was prevailing. Business was very dull in consequence. The disease was confined chiefly to the blacks, and very few cases were reported in the town. At Coxoeira, a town on the border of the river Paraguacu, about 1000 deaths had occurred among a population of 12,000 people. There was a great scarcity of provisions, and many of the inhabitants, from fear of the epidemic and to avoid starvation, were. leaving for the interior.

imminent—if wild speculations, such as distinguished the railway mania, were rife, and if also the Bank re- serve were lesi than half the present amount, there might be some ground for putting on what is called " the screw," and alarming capitalists into withhold- ing their resources, so as to produce the evil pretended to be remedied. As it is; we have nothing but an in- crease of the minimum rate of discount by the Bank of England, a measure which will not have much influence on discount operations, should money become more plentiful, and which was, no doubt, justified on the part' of the Bank Directors by the demands for the loans, a great part of which will be restored into cir- culation for the payment of materials. It will be quite time enough to raise the note of alarm when there are circumstances to justify it ; but at present there is nothing more in these Bank changes than what may be legitimately accounted for. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. PROTESTANT -REFORMATION SOCIETY, AND SPECIAL MISSION. TO ROMAN CATHOLICS. MEETING LAST NIGHT. THE annual meeting of the Liverpool auxiliary to the above society was held last night, in the Clayton Hall, the Rev. H. Carpenter, M.A., in the chair. The hall was crammed, and amongst those upon the platform we noticed the Rev. W. Clementson, secretary to the Parent Society, Revs. W. F. Taylor, L.L.D., S. Minton, J. Blakeney, James, Matthews, Ffolliott, and Messrs. J. K. Rounthwaite, P. F. Curry, B. Darbyshire, &c., &c. After the meeting had been duly opened by a prayer from the Rev. J. BLAKENEY, The CHAIRMAN made a few observations with respect to the object of the meeting, and the principles of the society it was designed to support, which, he said, were the principles of the Bible itself, and must necessarily be salutary in their influence and saving in their efficacy. The foundations of civil and religious liberty were in Protestantism. (Hear, hear.) Yet, there were many who were ready to receive the liberty which was secured by Protestantism, but were also ready to make light of Protestantism itself. (Hear, hear.) England as well as Spain and Sardinia were instances of this. These latter countries were at present in a state of transition, but every step which they took towards civil and religious liberty, was a step towards Protestantism. (Loud applause.) Speak- ing of the operations of the society, he said, that one of tap objects it pursued was the dissemination of Protestant truth- in this and other towns, by means of lay teachers, books, tracts, &c. He regretted that there was not a dept in Liver- pool for the publications of the Protestant Reformation Society, but he hoped, from his mentioning it in the presence of the Rev. Mr. Clementson, that such would not long be the case. (Hear, hear.) He then called upon - - - The Rev. W. P. TAYLOR, LL.D., who was received with loud cheers. He commenced by observing that he was always ready, upon all occasions, to speak in support of Protestantism, to the prevalence of which in this country he attributed the possession of all our national blessings. Referring to the largeness of the meeting, he regretted there was not a larger show of what the world would call " greatness" on the plat- form. Where, he asked, were our great merchant princes of Liverpool? He saw but one or two amongst them, and he judged from that circumstance that the great majority of them were not philosophers—that they did not look to moral sequences; for if they did, they would come forward and sup- port more earnestly the cause which secured them so many privileges. (Hear, hear.) [The speaker then made a slight digression to refer to a contradiction made by a Roman Ca- tholic working-man at one of their controversial meetings, that Milra er—an acknowledged Roman Catholic authority—had admitted that there were at one time three rival popes. The rev. gentleman read the passage from Milner confirming the existence of the rival popes, and invited the attention of the person in question (who sat below the plat- form) to it. A short discussion took place, but eventu- ally the Roman Catholic was compelled to admit that he had been mistaken, and he then sheltered himself under the argument that the three rival Popes had not been acknow- kdged as Popes at Rome. The rev. gentleman advised him to attend and state his views at the next controversial meet- ing.] Mr. Taylor then proceeded to expose the delusion under which the lay members of the Roman Catholic Church were labouring. As _an instance of this, he produced slime powder which he hadobtained from a poor Roman Catholic, who assured him that it was part of the ashes of a certain Father O'Hanlon, who was buried at Glendalough, and was "a -certain cure for all the ills that human flesh is heir to." (Laughter.) To prove the pernicious influ- ence of the Romanist priesthood, he quoted largely from the parliamentary digest of the evidence given before the Maynooth commissioners, using the very words spoken by some of the witnesses to prove his point. He showed how the priests, according to their own volunteered evidence, held &power of influencing voters at elections in Ireland, and he quoted the words of Mr. Lucas, editor of The Tablet, to demonstrate that the constituency was really and virtually in the -hands of the bishops and Roman Catholic priesthood. Referring to the doctrine Of reservation, he maintained that, according to the views of Romanist writers, it was quite im- possible to administer a binding oath to a Papist. Therefore, Romanists were unwisely trusted with political franchise while they remained under the influence of their Church. He did not wish to deprive them of the franchise, but he wished to free them from the influence which he had pointed out. With _this' view he cordially -supported this society. (He resumed Ails seat amidst loud cheers.) The Rev. Mr. CL&ENTSON next addressed the meeting. He said the Church 'of Rome might be regarded in two as- Itects—as apolitical organisation and us a religious system; the one affecting man as a creature of time, the other, the religious aspect of Popery, affecting him as 'one des- tined to enter the'future life which would.endure for ever and ever. Both of these were important aspects, the last, of course, most important. The reverend gentleman then proceeded 'to • dilate upon this topic, maintaining that the treachery of the Church of Rome was an erroneous one—a teaching of doctrines not of salvation but of damnation—sending souls, not to heaven, 'but to !As such doctrines .he viewed .the interdiction of the use of the Bible amongst the laity, by the priests of the Roman Catholic Church, 'and the doctrine of the "Immaculate "Conception—a doctrine which' ad not dared to be promulgated until the 9th of 'December, in the middle of the .19th century. To prove_ that the-Bible was interdicted, he read from a pamphlet written by Cardinal Wiseman. He then.maintained that the Roman Catholic Church, as. a•church, had never published a Bible for: the use of its lay members. It had only a Latin version.reuponaread fo the r arß_Tigilable;D;bnuuta.ty version was not an authorised one—at _ fe.lldl;.r'bernot interpret .its ul-solacing truths for falai/elf. This was like a father wheno asked' him for a fish, giving him a serpent—when he asked for bread .giving him a stone. (Applause.) Me • dared any one .stand up and say that the Churth -of Rome encouraged her people to read' the Holy Scriptures! (Cheers.) While we hate -Popery we' love -Roman Catholics. It is the principle, and not the people, which is and ought to be the object of our opposition. The Society had twenty-fourmissions. There are many of them in'London, but she had them also in different localities,. as in Birkenhead, in Liverpool, in Hull, Birmingham, Bradford,.Leeds, Leicester, Preston,Northamp- ton and other, places. The laboursof the servants of Christ in ?hose places .have been manifestly blessed. In -Liverpool above a hundred Roman Catholics have openly renounced Romanism, and many others are aow proposing to take that step. The miselonary. meetings and classes are attended by large numbers of inquiring Romanists. In the course of his address, the -speaker gave numerous illustrations of the , benefits which have attended the. operations of these mission- aries. The Protestant character of Liverpool has been long and well established; and the list of contributions -to the :auxiliary branch of-this society proves that that character has snot been unworthily bestowed. (The.conclusion of the Rev. :gentleman's address was received with the Kentish fire and ~cleers.)

This, together with the ~ RPOOL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, fact that in the great struggle still pending he sees only the one and as yet unrecognised political virtue, " the liberation of the oppressed nationali- ties," will lead to a suspicion that much of his reasoning is the result of an overheated imagina- tion. Those who so conjecture, however, would be betrayed into an unjust estimate of the book and of the man. A soldier, and a good one himself, General Klapka looks on the whole arrangements of the war with the eye of a military critic, and passes his remarks in a spirit of calm and dispassionate observation. He estimates the military operations. of the Allies as not entitled to much commenda- tion, and curtly, yet smartly condemns their diplomacy as short-sighted and weak. He strongly maintains that " the conquest of the Crimea " can only be accomplished by successful operations on the continent, and confidently forte's the failure of the siege operations carried on before Sebas- topol. Under present circumstances, of course, this prediction must sound like nonsense ; but when it is borne in mind that the prediction referred to the state of matters, during the spring and early part of the summer, when the opinion so expressed was entertained by many men who are looked on as good authorities, much of the seeming absurdity is removed. How little soever the gallant general may be entitled to reputation as a seer, his observations on the military opera- tions which have been carried on by the Allies since their landing in the Crimea, are entitled, from his own comparative successes, to no small amount of attention and regard. As already intimated, he regards the Crimean invasion as a blunder in military strategy, and maintains that the war should have been directed against the Caucasian provinces, as the only vulnerable por- tions of the Russian Empire in the south-east. In respect to the brave inhabitants of these regions, our author makes some sensible obser- vations, and thus concludes his remarks on THE CIRCASSIAN RESISTANCE TO THE MUSCOVITE. All the efforts and sacrifices of Russia to subjugate the heroic races of the Caucasus have met with only partial and unsatisfactory results. Though the circle of their attack gradually draws closer and closer, and the defenders are driven farther and farther into the interior of their mountain fastnesses, yet their resistance and courage con- tinue as determined as ever ; and the smaller portion of them in the exposed valleys alone bend their proud necks beneath the Russian yoke. The rest are still free and independent, replying both to the promises and the assaults of their aggressors with bullet and yategan. But whether oppressed or free, all races entertain a deadly and unconquerable hatred to everything that bears the name of Russian. In a supplement to these observations, General Klapka insists on the policy of enrolling, subsi- dizing, and supporting an army, 50,000 strong, of those hardy mountaineers, who would, he says, be admirably qualified for thwarting the despotic views of Russia. This may be, and in all proba- bility is true, so far as it goes. There are, how- ever grave reasons for doubting the likelihood of such a combination being efficacious in defeating the aggressive objects of Russia. That the effect of such an organization would materially hamper the military operations of the Czar cannot be doubted, and it will readily suggest itself to all thinking men to question the impropriety of ab- staining from it, few such being inclined to coun- tenance the drawing-room style of warfare which

maging to the ambition of Russia than the burning Of Moscow, or indeed any circumstance on record since the days of PETER I. Russia built up a fabric for which thousands of human lives and millions of trea- sure have been sacrificed, upon which all hopes of future conquest were based, and which formed indeed the main point of contest. This has been shattered at a blow ; the dream of years has been demolished, and a far more material guarantee acquired for the future peace of Europe than would have been gained by negotiations at Vienna, however apparently willing Russia may have been to make concessions. It is not very easy to estimate the difficulties with which the allied armies have had to contend, though all accounts concur in representing them of the most formidable character. Sebastopol was deemed by those best acquainted with its natural position and immense resources to be impregnable, and nothing had been spared which skill could devise or despotic will could effect to render it so. Viewed, therefore, in this respect, the success of the besiegers is entitled to our warmest congratulations; but when viewed with reference to its important results upon the position of Russia as the disturber of the peace of Europe, the advantage can hardly be over-estimated. Prom the accounts.which have reached us by means of the electric telegraph, it appears that the Russian General Prince GORTSCHAKOFF had made preparations for the evacuation of the town, which lies an the south side of the 'harbour, as far back as the end of August ; for General SIMPSON, in his despatch of the Ist of 'September, mentions the circumstance of the Russian General availing himself of the 'bridge of rafts which had been constructed acrose the harbour to the north side,to effect the removal &Stores. He must there- forehave anticipated; or at 'least endeavoured to provide against, the success of the Allies in their assault on the Tifalakhoff. This was no doubt owing to the convic- l'ion that his position hnkFbecome untenable, and that,: notwithstanding the ‘determination evinced for -so: long a period by the Russian soldiers, the &Stress occasioned by the `sitting off the supplies Was operating with deadly effect. Up to 'the 'last Ihey boasted of their iinexhaustible means of aerenee, • btit that which had Sdestroyed the courage Of 'the besieged roused the courage of the besiegers, au'd the Malakhoff was carried with a dettrinination to win at any Igzard. We know the result. The fierce assault of the Bth, which outrivilied all former dis- plays of &Aug hardihood, loft 'the ValakhCfnu the hands of 'the assailants, and thetnext morning found the great,LObject of all the Ck/rltOgt deserted' by its de- fenders. There is a melancholy liSt of ',killed and wounded, the price of the iiietury ; but ' the victory itself, in :its influence upon thewar, is beyond all price.

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

IRELAND. VISCOUNT DUNGANNON has been chosen a representative Peer for Ireland, in the room of the late Earl of Caledon. THERE are hardly any able-bodied male paupers at present in the rural workhouses in Ireland. Labour is scarce in all parts of the country, and wages high. i - PART of the Curragh was in danger of being burned down on Saturday, by two confederate militia regiments burning tar barrels adjoining the timber works, and igniting furze bushes. THERE are already four candidates for New Ross, in the room of Mr. Duffy. They are Charles 'Tottenham (Tory), John Reynolds, formerly M.P. for Dublin, Mr. Welch, of Kil- kenny, and Mr. W. J. O'Connell, of London. EVICTIONS.—On the Gth inst., the Sheriff of Galway, ac. companied by an escort of Police, proceeded to the Claddagh, and took possession of 21 houses, the property of Mr. Henry Grattan. The inmates were all put out, and six of the cabins levelled to the ground, but the parties evicted were admitted into the remaining 15 as caretakers. It is admitted by the popular journals that, as these poor creatures have never paid rent or other charges since Mr. Grattan became their land- lord, no blame can be attributed to him for getting rid of them. VISIT OP PRINCE NAPOLEON TO CORK.—The Cork Reporter, of Wednesday, contains the following announce- ment :—" We are in a position to state that Prince Napoleon Bonaparte, who is cruising off the English coast, in his Im- perial Majesty's yacht Ariel, is likely to visit our harbour in the course of the ensuing week." In a later edition the same journal adds :—" We have now to state that the Prince's arrival here is looked for in the course of this evening, and that it is contemplated to take advantage of the opportunity offered by this visit, to commemorate, by a public banquet, the alliance with France, and the recent grand success at Sebastopol. Lists for the dinner are being rapidly filled up." THE HABVEST.—Another week of splendid weather has nearly brought harvest operations, save in the remote northern and western districts, to a satisfactory conclusion. A few days' more brisk wind and sunshine such as the country has been recently favoured with, and there will be scarcely a field left uncut. As regards the potato, the accounts from Cork mention that the fear of the disease appears to have wholly abated, as the farmers there allow the crop to lie in the ground, digging them merely to supply immediate con- sumption, and not, as formerly, forcing them on the market in order to effect sales at any price before the apprehended spread of the blight rendered them valueless. BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, and DEA2 US. BIRTHS. On the 4th inst., at Melville-place, the wife of Mr. John Gresham, of a daughter. On the sth inst., at Rokeby-hall, Lady Robinson, of a daughter.

OFFICIAL DESPATCHES. (A Supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday, contains the following.) WAR DEPARTMENT, Sept. 12. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its en- closures, of which the following are copies, addressed to his lordship by General Simpson : BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, Sept. 1. My Lord,—The siege operations during the past week have progressed slowly, the brightness of the nights rendering the work to be performed a task of great difficulty. The head of the sap is now about 150 yards from the salient of the Redan, and the enemy interrupt the work by every means in their power. - On the night of the 28th, a 13-inch shell fell into a magazine on the left face of the Mamelon, which exploded, causing some few casualties, but in no way interrupting the continuance of the fire. On the night of the 30th ult., the Russian pickets made a rush at our advanced trench, upset a few gabions, and un- fortunately killed Lieutenant Preston, of the 07th Regiment. In this affair Captain Pechell, of the 77th Regiment, who commanded the advanced party, and Lieutenant-Colonel Bunbury, of the 23rd Regiment, who commanded the supports, behaved with great gallantry. Great activity prevails on the part of the garrison in making use of the new raft-bridge across the harbour, and stores of all kinds are daily transported to the north side. Large working parties are employed in throwing up works on the north side, but as yet they are in too unfinished a state to judge of their exact nature. From the information we continue to receive it appears that the enemy is concentrating his force between the Mackenzie heights and Fort Constantine ; and although several minor changes of position have been made, no movement of im- portance has occurred to indicate a positive intention to attack. All our accounts confirm the reports of the great losses ol the enemy daily in Sebastopol, and that some discontent pre• vails in their ranks. I have the honour to enclose the lists of casualties. I have, &c., JAMES SIMPSON, General Commanding. The total casualties from the 27th to the 30th of August were, 1 officer, 1 sergeant, 20 rank and file killed; 6 officers, 4 sergeants, 152 rank and file wounded. NOMINAL RETURN OF OFFICERS KILLED. Aug. 30.-97th Foot : Lieutenant G. B. Preston. NOMINAL RETURN OF OFFICERS WOUNDED. Aug 28.-3rd Battalion, Grenadier Guards : Captain the Hon. W. Forbes, slightly. Aug 29.-Ist Battalion, Scots Fusilier Guards : Captain J. R. Farquharson, severely.-41st Regiment of Foot : Brevet- Major L. Graham, severely. Aug 30.-90th Foot : Captain G. J. Wolseley, assistant-en- gineer, severely.— 97th Foot : Lieut. M. Brinkley, severely ; and Lieut. G. H. H. Ware, severely. KILLED AND WOUNDED AT THE ASSAULT. WAR DEPARTMENT, Sept. 12. _ _ _ Lord Panmure begs to forward the accompanying list of officers killed and wounded at Sebastopol, which he has this day received from General Simpson. Lord Panmure thinks it right at the same time to observe, that in the transmission of the list by telegraph several mis- takes occurred in the names of the officers wounded, and he cannot therefore hold himself responsible for its accuracy : OFFICERS KILLED.

Palmer, 62nd Regiment. WAR DEPARTMENT, Sept. 13. Lord Panmure has this morning received the following in- telligence from General Simpson, dated CRIMEA, Sept. 12, 10 40 a.m. The enemy have destroyed the remainder of their fleet. Nothing now remains in the harbour. An Imperial decree published in the Moniteur nominates General Pelissier Marshal of France. The Moniteur announces the Imperial decision for the immediate liberation from service of the soldiers of the army of the East of the class of 1847, who had hitherto been kept under arms. The Moniteur of Friday announces that Marshal Pelissier, in a telegraphic despatch dated September 11, informs the Minister of War, that about 4,500 wounded, of which number 240 are officers, have gone to the ambulances. As regards the number of dead (killed on the field of bat- tle), it has not yet been possible to get an exact return, but it is the opinion of the Commander-in-chief that it does not ex- ceed the ordinary proportion—that is to say, about one-third of the number of the wounded. THE RUSSIAN ACCOUNT. The following is a copy of the despatch of Prince Gortscha- koff:— SEBASTOPOL, Sept. 9, 8 p.m. The enemy receives constantly reinforcements of fresh troops. The bombardment is fiercely violent. 10 AT NIGHT. The garrison of Sebastopol, after sustaining an infernal fire (feu d'enfer), repulsed six assaults, but could not drive the enemy from Kornileff Bastion (the Malakhoff Tower). Our brave troops, who resisted to the last extremity, are now crossing over to the northern part of Sebastopol. The enemy found nothing in the southern part but blood- stained ruins. On the 9th of September, the passage of the garrison from the southern to the northern part was accomplished with extraordinary success, our loss on that occasion being but 100 men. We left, I regret to say, nearly 500 men,grievously wounded, on the southern side. THANKS TO THE ARMY. The London Gazette, of Friday, states that Lord Pan- mure has addressed the following telegraphic despatch to General Simpson : WAR DEPARTMENT, Sept.l2: The Queen has received with deep emotion the welcome in- telligence of the fall of Sebastopol. Penetrated with profound gratitude to the Almighty, who has vouchsafed this triumph to the allied army, Her Majesty has commanded me to express to yourself, and, -through von, to the army, the pride with which she regards this fresh in- stance of their heroism. The Queen congratulates her troops on the triumphant issue of this protracted siege, and thanks them for the cheerfulness and fortitude with which they have encountered its toils, and the valour which has led to its termination. The Queen deeply laments that this success is not without its alloy in the heavy losses which have been sustained ; and, while she rejoices in the victory, Her Majesty deeply sym- pathizes with the noble sufferers in their country's cause. You will be pleased to congratulate General Pelissier, in Her Majesty's name, upon the brilliant result of the assault on the Malakhoff, which proves the irresistible force as well as the indomitable courage of our brave allies. PANMURE. THE FRENCH EMPEROR'S THANKSGIVING. ON Thursday the Emperor went in state to the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and was present at a Te Denni, in acknowledg- ment of the downfal of Sebastopol. The interior of the Cathedral was decorated nearly in the same style as on the marriage of the Emperor. The choir was covered over with the oriflammes of France,England, Piedmont, and Turkey, and glittered in the sunbeams which passed through the Gothic windows. The altar in the middle of the transept appeared like a mass of carved gold, encircled by hundreds of candelabra. The aisle and transept were furnished with benches covered with velvet for the officers of the Crown, the various constituted corps, and the representatives of foreign governments, Among the most prominent were the Prussian and Austrian ambassadors. The diplomatic corps and the Ministers of the Crown were to the right of the Emperor, and on the left the Marshals of France, the Grand Crosses of the Legion of Honour, the members of the Institute, and other dignitaries and high functionaries. A certain number of ladies who had been specially invited were also present. The side aisles were left for the occupation of the public, who filled them at an early hour. At 11 o'clock the church was nearly filled. At half-past 11 the Archbishop of Paris, with crozier and mitre, and followed by the chapter, pro- ceeded to the entrance, where a canopy had been erected, and under which he awaited the Emperor's approach. The greatest interest prevailed as the ambassadors arrived. The personage, however, whose presence was hailed with marked welcome was Abdel Kader, who perhaps was the least astonished at finding himself inia Christiantemple thanking Heaven for the triumphs of France. At half-past twelve the drums beating to arms and the shouts of the crowd gave note of the Emperor's approach. Within the church every one rose, the orchestra struck up a triumphal march, and the troops presented arms. The Emperor was received at the porch of the Cathedral by the Archbishop and clergy of Paris. The Archbishop, having presented the holy water and incense to His Majesty, addressed him as follows : " SIRE,—I come to receive your Majesty at the threshold of this august temple, which vibrates to-day to the sound of the glory of France. Let our solemn thanksgiving ascend to- wards God for the brilliant success with which he has crowned our arms. So much heroism will recieve its recom- pense. The great object which your Majesty, in concert with your allies, pursues with so much firmnesss and wisdom, will not fail soon to be attained ; a glorious and lasting peace will be achieved. But, Sire, that which adds to the nation's joy under present circumstances in the thought that Heaven, after preparing for you all these triumphs, is preparing for you over and above, domestic joys, which will be the more precious to your heart that they will also be the source of public happiness." The Emperor replied : " I came here, Monseigneur, to thank Heaven for the triumph it has granted to our arms; for I mast acknowledge ' t THE ASSAULT ON THE IC'6 „„f 0 (FROM THE GLOBE.) ~ ipluP.,,o IT would appear, from the list of casualMo fCO2 officers, that the brunt of the fighting at the .fril Cc" the Second and Light Divisions, comrcon,a.,runceio tio. ol‘flatrhkeha4ntiha, nadnCdodHroinrnonb,riagnaddepoortfiotre ofn z-bbuitiod. pill The First Division, composed of the Gllaru7.ed._ n'd; 13th, 31st, and 56th Regiments, were not engelle Prior brigade of the Highland Division were up otA,4; PIO the Third Division appears to have been out tow-sijofT4k, rett's Brigade a, the second of the fourth divisitdAloillll no casualty mong its officers.

THEFTS.—Thomas Ready, 13 years of age, was sent to gaol for 14 days, yesterday, for stealing ropes from a ship in the Union Dock.—Joseph Jemmins, an elderly Irishman, employed at the Wapping dock works, was yesterday sent to gaol for 14 days for stealing some old rope belonging to the Dock Trust. THE AFRICAN, a very fine-looking new screw steamer, apparently about 1,200 tons, and barque rigged, arrived here yesterday morning from the Clyde. She is intended to form one of the Liverpool, Constantinople, and Syrian line; con- ducted here by Messrs. Henry Dixon and Co. MISPLACED CHARITY.—In last week's Standard we pub- lished an account of an attempted suicide by a young woman named Mary Cassidy, who threw herself off the landing-stage because, as she alleged, she had been ruined by two ' men belonging to a Rock Ferry steamer. Upon examination; the men were discharged, and the girl was sent to the workhouse. Yesterday Mr. Mansfield handed a letter to the reporters at the Police-court, which he had received with the signature of " R'" attached to it, enclosing ss. for the girl, and suggesting a general subscription on her behalf. It was intimated from the bench that she was undeserving of such sympathy, as she- had betrayed symptoms of a very debased character since her removal to the workhouse. Ax OUTRAGEOUS FEMlLE.—Catherino Roberts, a woman of debauched appearance, was brought before Mr. Mansfield, at the Police-court yesterday, for displaying rather too much violence of temper. A Mr. Thomas Hilton, of WhiteMill- street, stated that Catherine lodged with him, and that on. Saturday night she went home intoxicated and committed many excesses in the way of destroying furniture, &c. He went to remonstrate with her, when she struck him, and then threw a 11b. weight at him. It passed within an inch of his temple, and struck a little dog which was gambolling about, killing it instantly. The virago was fined OS. and costs, or two months in default of payment. ST. HELENS.-011 Friday, the Eccleston part of this town was enlivened by the St. Mary's band heading a long and interesting procession of Sunday and day scholars belonging . to St. Thomas' district, 287 in number, bearing appropriate banners, &c., all of whom, with five exceptions, were scholars of St. Thomas', 'brought together by the active exertions of their zealous pastor, the Rev. James P. Shepperd. After various games in an adjoining field, the interesting company returned to the schools., where, with their teachers and parents, they were regaled with tea and cake, and listened with great interest to several recitations, and also to affec- tionate, yet stirring addresses from their beloved minister and teachers, after which they retired thankful and delighted with the day's enjoyment. CHURCH Cnoias.—(From a correspondent)—There are, perhaps, few subjects of more real interest to sinzere Church- men than having the services conducted in a proper and becoming manner. Indeed, while uniformity is the profession, there is great diversity in the practice, and the deplorable state of the musical portion of the service, in the majority of churches in our neighbourhood, makes the greater pleasure in witnessing the laudable efforts for its advancement which mays be observed, from time to time, in a few. Amongst these, I would call especial attention to St. John's District Church, in Grange-lane, Birkenhead. This is a very pretty church, with a fine organ, and since it was opened, which is about eight years, an amateur choir has quietly and unostentatiously been striving to put the musical portion of the services into a• state of efficiency, under the able superintendence of Mr. Gunton, the organist, with what success may be noticed by any one attending the church This, however, could not have been obtained without much trouble and anxiety to the conductor, enhanced by the little interest which seems to per- vade the congregation. But they have the nucleus given them by the continuous efforts of the few gentlemen and ladies who have so long kindly striven to keep it up, and of still further improving it by a liberal support. It is to be hoped, .there- fore, that the congregation will keep this in mind ; and this choir may be held out as a model to other churches, to show how easy it is to improve the services, if one or two individuals in a congregation have the moral courage to put theniselves forward, and when, as in this case, where the congregation or church is poor, it may be done without any cost.—A Lo oKB a ON. SHOCKING FATALITIES.—On Saturday afternoon, Jane Jones, aged 61, the wife of Samuel Jones, living at No. 3, Sun-street, "Warwick-street, fell from the second story front bedroom window of her'house, and alighted on some railings. The iron spike entered one of her thighs, and tore its way out again, inflicting a frightful wound in the groin and abdomen., from which her bowels protruded. She was picked up and taken to the Southern Hospital, where she died at three o'clock on Sunday afternoon.—At half-past six on Saturday evening, a boy who resided in No. 12, Court, Paul-street, was run over in Vauxhall-road, by a dray belonging to Mr. Thomas Howard, the brewer, which was being driven by Wm. Grif- fiths at the time. The boy was taken to the Vauxhall Dispen- sary, but life was found to be extinct. The driver was taken into custody. Persons who saw the accident, state that he was not driving beyond the rate of four miles an hour, and that he called to the boy to get out of the way.—Margaret Dearden, 2 years old, daughter of Bernard Dearden, labourer, living in 12 Court, Pall-mall, was scalded so seriously with boil- ing water from a kettle on the fire on Friday, that she died on Saturday evening between three and four o'clock in con- vulsions.—Jane Roe, 60 years old, the wife of Mr. Roe, living at 16 Court, Jenkinson-street, who "took a drop of drink occasionally," was taken with sickness on Saturday night. Doctors were called in, and it was at first supposed that she had had a severe stroke, but a search discovered an empty swkhisicthwhoeferfet it. Tom has since bottle of laudanum in a cupboard in her room, of which it was suspected that she had partaken too freely. She treated accordingly, and appeared to revive, but about mid- night she relapsed into her former unconscious state, and it two o'clock on Sunday morning she died.

THE AFRICAN, a very fine-looking new screw steamer, apparently about 1,200 tons, and barque rigged, arrived here yesterday morning from the Clyde. She is intended to form one of the Liverpool, Constantinople, and Syrian line; con- ducted here by Messrs. Henry Dixon and CO. MISPLACED CHARITY.—In last week's Standard we pub- lished an account of an attempted suicide by a young woman named Mary Cassidy, who threw herself off the landing-stage because, as she alleged, she had been ruined by two men belonging to a Rock Ferry steamer. Upon examination, the handedthe a girl letterwas steon the hteo reportersth e I v workhouse. haot ut shee.

It was intimated from and the bench that she was undeserving of such sympathy, as she Yesterdaymen were had betrayed symptoms of a very debased character since her removal to the workhouse. AN OUTRAGEOUS FEMALE.—Catherine Roberts, a woman of debauched appearance, was brought before Mr. Mansfield, at the Police-court yesterday, for displaying rather too muchviolence of temper. A Mr. Thomas Hilton, of Whitemill- street, stated that Catherine lodged with him, and that on Saturday night she went home intoxicated and committed many excesses in the way of destroying furniture, &c. He went to remonstrate with her, when she struck him, and then threw a 11b. weight at him. It passed within an inch of his temple, and struck a little dog which was gambolling about, killing it instantly. The virago was fined 40s. and costs, or two months in default of payment. ST. HELENS.—On Friday, the Eccleston part of this town was enlivened by the St. Mary's band heading a long and interesting procession of Sundry and day scholars belonging to St. Thomas' district, 287 in number, bearing appropriate banners, &c., all of whom, with five exceptions, were scholars of St. Thomas', 'brought together by the active exertions of their zealous pastor, the Rev. James P. Shepperd. • After various games in an adjoining field, the interesting company returned to the schools, where, with their teachers and parents, they were regaled with tea and cake, and listened with great interest to several recitations, and also- to affec- tionate, yet stirring addresses from their beloved minister and teachers, after which they retired thankful and delighted with the day's enjoyment. CHURCH CHOIRS.—(From a correspondent.)—There are, perhaps, few subjects of more real interest to sincere Church.. men than having the services conducted in a proper and becoming manner. Indeed, while uniformity is the profession, there is great diversity in the practice, and the deplorable state of the musical portion of the service, in the majority of churches in our neighbourhood, makes the greater pleasure in witnessing the laudable efforts for its advancement which may be observed, from time to time, in a few. Amongst these, I would call especial attention to St. John's District Church, in Grange-lane, Birkenhead. This is a very pretty church, with a fine organ, and since it was opened, which is about eight years, an amateur choir has quietly and unostentatiously been striving to put the musical portion of the services into a state of efficiency, under the able superintendence of Mr. Gunton, the organist, with what success may be noticed by any one attending the church. This, however, could not have been obtained without much trouble and anxiety to the conductor, enhanced by the little interest which seems to per- vade the congregation. But they have the nucleus given them by, the continuous efforts of the few gentlemen and ladies who have so long kindly striven to keep it up, and of still further improving it by a liberal support. It is to be hoped, there- fore, that the congregation will keep this in mind ; and this choir may be held out as a model to other churches, to show how easy it is to improve the services, if one or two individuals in a congregation have the moral courage to put themselves forward, and when, as in this case, where the congregation or church is poor,it may be done without any cost.—ALooKEli ON. SHOCKING FATALITIES.— On Saturday afternoon, Jane Jones; aged 61, the wife of Samuel Jones, living at No. 3, Sun-street, Warwick-street, fell from the second story front bedroom window of her house, and alighted on some railings. The iron spike entered one of her thighs, and tore its way out again, inflicting a frightful wound in the groin and abdomen, from which her bowels protruded. She was picked tip and taken to the Southern Hospital, where she died at three o'clock on Sunday afternoon.—At half-past six on Saturday evening, a boy who resided in No. 12, Court, Paul-street, was run over in Vauxhall-road, by a dray belonging to Mr. Thomas Howard, the brewer, which was being driven by Win. Grif. •fiths at the time. The boy was taken to the Vauxhall Dispen• sary, but life was found to be extinct. The driver was taken into custody. Persons who saw the accident, state that he was not driving beyond the rate of four miles an hour, and that he called to the boy to get out of the way.—Margaret Dearden, 2 years old, daughter of Bernard Dearden, labourer, living in 12 Court, Pall-mall, was scalded so seriously with' she was boil- kten firs too t d fu boil- ing water from a kettle on the fire on Friday, that she died on Saturday evening between three and four o'clock in con- vulsions.—Jane Roe, 60 years old, the wife of Mr. Roe, living srpepe loys.e Shet that t at 15 Court, Jenkinson-street, who " took a drop of drink occasionally," was taken with sickness on Saturday night. wDasoctsoursspwecetrede calledthat in,sh eanhdad i it as partaken a had had a severe stroke, but a search discovered an empty bottle of laudanum in a cupboard in her room, of which it treated accordingly, and appeared to revive, but about mid- night she relapsed into her former unconscious state, and at two o'clock on Sunday morning she died. Inquests into the was whole of these cases will be held to-day, and also on the body of a seaman belonging to the American ship Sunflower, which arrived here from Mobile, on Sunday, soon after which the man died in his berth, having been ill most part of the voyage with cold and scurvy. A CUNNING PONY.—In a pit belonging to Mansfield Grieve, Esq., coalmaster, Cairnhill, for some weeks past the tea flasktl of many of the drawers were always found empty when the owners came to use their contents, at what is called the " corn- ing hour," though these flasks were always carefully rolled up in the jackets or coats of the men. From the frequency of these thefts taking place, a feeling of suspicion began to be excited by almost every one against his fellow-worker. The conscious innocence of all the men led them to be equally anxious to discover the guilty party, and have him brought to justice. With this feeling they determined to set a watch on the coats. This was done one, day last week. Near the place where lay the coats was a stable containing a pony called Tom, which is used for drawing the hutches below. After the coats were laid down,- and the men had gone to their work, the watchers had not long to wait to see who was the thief. Tom strode quietly out of his stable and went up to the coats. 1.1: then gently, with his nose, uncovered a flask from one of th coats. This being done, he rested himself upon his hinder legs, seized the flask between his two fore feet, with his teeth drew the cork, dropped it, and then quaffed the he contents to his evident gratification. The flask bung emptied, with his foot,i to r placed it in the coat and pressed it together show that it had not been touched. In this way he drained to his staflasks, ble with and then went li he left it. ' Tom has since with that cautious mien with which become a general fa yourite; he may now quaff off as much of the cup that cheers but does not inebriate as he likes.-im -31 Scotch Paper.

INDIA OVERLAND MAIL. TRIX6TE, Saturday, Sept. 16. The steamer Bombay arrived here to-day at 315 p.m., in 135 hours from Alexandria. The Indian mails left Alexandria on the 9th of September with adviees from Calcutta of the 9th ef August ; Bombay: 13th of August ; Hongkeog, (via Calcutta,' 18th July. The insurrection of the Santals had assumed importance, and still condo/ed. Six thousand troops have been already sent against the rebels. A party of Rohillas had crossed the frontier, and was com- mitting depredations in the Bombay presidency. Rain has been scarce in India, and trade consequently dull. The money-market was easy.

THE LIVERP GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. DR. BARTH, whose travels in Central Africa have rendered him celebrated, arrived at Marseilles on the Bth, in excellent health. THE CrtoLERA. is so violent at Cataneo, in Sicily, that there is a regular panic. Every. one is escaping into the open country or woods, and trade is completely stagnant. A CAT at Doncaster has been released alive from beneath a chamber floor after being confined there for seven weeks. It is supposed to have been put there by some plasterers when completing their work. WILLIAM STRAILAN, Robert Makin Bates, and Sir John Dean Paul, Bart., were committed for trial on Wednesday, charged with feloniously disposing of a large amount of foreign securities, lodged with them for safe keeping, as bankers. A TREMENDOUS CONFLAGRATION occurred on Monday in the extensive range of premises belonging to Messrs. George Baker and Sons, builders, Lambeth. The damage is estimated at £50,000, exclusive of £2OOO worth of tools belonging to the workmen, and uninsured. A MR. W. G. BARKER, a surgeon at Brighton, has been distinguishing himself by grossly abusing Mr. French, a reporter, and threatening to strike him because he had described him in his paper as merely " Mr. W. G. Barker," instead of "W. G. Barker, Esq. !" The magistrates bound over the conceited son of 2Esculapius to keep the peace, and ordered him to pay £1 3s. 6d. costs. THE CHOLERA is raging in Tuscany. The number of cases throughout the grand duchy averages, according to the Monitore Toscano, 700 per day. The Grand Duke fre- quently visits the cholera hospitals, and distributes aid or consolation to the patients. From the other parts of Italy the news is satisfactory : the cholera is mild at Rome, and has nearly ceased at Bologna; it is decreasing fast at Genoa, as well as in the provinces of Ozieri and Alghero, in the island of Sardinia. There is still some intensity in Lombardy, the number of cases throughout the kingdom having been 873 on the 28th ult. A HARD CASE.—At the Petty Sessions held at Stony- Stratford, Buckinghamshire, on Friday last, a man named Levi Henson was charged with firing off a gun within 80 feet of the turnpike-road. The evidence was very conflicting. The defendant was employed in a field, and had been ordered by his master to shoot the birds if they touched the wheat. •He had, it appears, shot a jay, and his master, having- measured the ground, found that the spot was above 80 feet from the road. The magistrates, however, told the defendant that he stood convicted " upon the clearest 'evidence they had ever heard," and fined the poor fellow 41, with 17s. ed. Costs.— Bucks Advertiser. IN THE LIST OF KILLED sent home with the last despatch from General Simpson is the name of Corporal John Shane, who met with his death under somewhat peculiar circum- stances. He belonged to the 23rd Welsh Fusiliers, and having been wounded severely at the battle of the Alma, he returned to England, and was presented by the Queen with a medal. During his stay in England, he visited his native place near Exeter, and having sufficiently recovered he returned to the Crimea. On the night of the 17th of August he volunteered as a sharpshooter, and it being moonlight the Russians were able to take good aim. A ball struck hint on the left breast, cutting his medal in two, and he died almost instantly. The melancholy intelligence has just been conveyed to his mother, who lives near Exeter, by a comrade who saw him fall. RUSSIAN FESTIVITIES AT LEWES.—Tuesday, the 11th instant, being, according to the Russian calendar, the 31st of August, the anniversary of the christening of Alexander IL, Emperor of all the Russias, and his consequent reception into the holy Greek Church, which is the occasion of national e irvaj or i at eiwen Rs,uasts itah, ew a se x pdeunlsye ofebhri sa t edl m pbeyr italh empariiessotnye,rsw hoof remitted tite funds to a bishop of the Russian Church, who is residing in this country, for the purpose of administering the rites of the church to the prisoners at Chatham, Plymouth, and Lea-es. The whole of the officers liere, to the number of 20, viz., 12 Finns and 8 Russians, were provided with a dinner at the Star Hotel, while the soldiers and non-commissioned officers within the prison were also liberally regaled, and in the evening, while the'townspeople were drinking success to the allied powers, and cheering for their late victory, the 'Russians were responding to the health of the Emperor, and drinking success to his army. AN AFFAIR Wtradi THE Rips' PIRATES.-11er Majesty's steam sloop Prometheus arrived at 'Gibraltar on the 26th ult., from the East. On her way down she touched on the Riff coast near Melilla, and ran 'down along the land to abreast of the Sera Bay, where she hauled,close in and hove-to to make out some articles and boats that were observed lying on the beach ; and when close in the Riffians hoisted a tag of truce, which was answered by the ship. As the ship was canting off shore, which she did slowly on account of her keel touching a bank, the Mans opened a heavy fire of musketry upon her, killing the boatswain on the forecastle by a -sliot through the head. The Prometheus then steamed off a short distance, hauled down the flag of truce, and opened fire with shot, shell, and musketry upon the Ruffians, and continued firing upon those who were collected around, and, no doubt, killing and wounding many of them, besides destroying two large boats. Finding the Riffians had all disappeared, at 5 30, p.m., she ceased firing, and ran down the coast to Alhucemas Bay, where -she anchored for the night. A .MORMON PBEACTHER DROWNBIL—A young man named John Dudman, of Bath, aged 20, a Mormon preacher, who had for several days been in the neighbourhood, propagating the doctrines of the notorious Joe Smith, was accidentally drowned in the river Lynher, whilst in the act• of bathing. Deceased was accompanied to the river by a person :named Gartrell, whom he urged to bathe with him. Gartrell refused, and persuaded the preacher not to venture in a particular part of the river, on account of a strong current there. Disregard- ing advice, Dudman immediately plunged into the stream,• and for some time bore himself up by•swimming, stating that .lituamon-rirti&-iii,Jl-beirittetfraeßNL handed-oui:a pole close to him, by aid of which he mitht have saved himself.; but, refusing his proffered assistance, he almost immediately after sank.--Plynsouth Mail. WHO ABE THE ZOITAVESP—The 'Paris eorrespondent•of the _Nation tells us -something extraordinary, after the fashion of Paris correspondents generally. Entering a café the other day, he (or she)-noticed a party of .Zouaves, who were regaling 'themselves, andleard one call the other " Byrne." Curious, 'the correspondent made inquiries :—The Zouaves were Irish- :men! That is to say, they were the sons of :Irish .parents, -who had settled, or rather unsettled, in Algiers. It is won- =derful how the Irish turn up everywhere ! Eugenie had a narrow escape of being claimed as an Irishwoman. .Cavaignac, was proved to rills-spell his name, which is Kavanagh. Heki', the New:Zealand chief, is Mr. HicV,•of Dublin. But•nobody ,could have expected that the Zouaves would turn• out to lae an Irish brigade. An Irish corporal's -wife is now Empress of Morocco; and,we shall soon see that all the haremsofAlgiers :and the whole• of the world are engaged in producing Irish Zouaves. FRIGHTFUL 'RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An accident of a very shocking character occurred at the Dudley station, on the Dx- .ford, 'Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, on -Sunday alight. A trainis due from Worcester, at 846 p.m., but it ,did not arrive till about nine o'clock, .when it ran into the station at about the usual rate. Previous to the stoppage,the -doors of several carriages were seen ,cipen, and althoughlthe usual cry was made to the passengers to keep their seats, .one or two. of them jumped out, and among them was Mr. John •Cooper, assistant clerk in the Walsall •County Court, who had .a child about four years old in his arms, and who, in descend- ing from-the carriage, fell between the carriage and the plat- form, and was dragged a distance of about:2o or 30 yards. It was found, on the train being stopped, that this legs were -bent back, and that the body was jammed in-between the carriage and•the platform. Ile had his child grasped firmly in his arms, and the train had-to be detached from the .carriage, and the carriage itself raised with jacks, before they,emed be extricated. They -were conveyed into the porters' room, and Mr. Johnson, surgeon, was sent for:; but Mr. Cooper had expired. Several of his bones were broken, and his body dreadfully crushed. The child-was found to .be seriously hurt, the -poor creature's thighs being fractured, and its body otherwise injured. The deceased was only .82 years of age.—Wolverhampton Chronicle. EXTRAORDINARY CAPTURE OP THREE BURGLARS:C/6W a sensation has been created lately in Somerset, ,Gloucester, and Wilts, by the number of burglaries perpetrated. An ex- traordinary and rather an amusing capture of three fellows gives some hopes, however, that a check will be put to •the pro- ceedings of the gang. On -Sunday evening the Rev. Mr. Meade, vicar of Wingfield, near Bradford, Wilts, went to church with his family, leaving the vicarage unprotected. About half-past six o'clock, a toy, twelve years of age, named Henry Gilson, the son of the parish clerk and constable,arlao was playing near the vicarage, had his attention attracted by two strange men, whom he afterwards saw enter Mr. Meade's premises. He immediately went to the church, and commu- ulented to his father, who was officiating at the time, his sus. picioi2s that all was not right at the vicarage. Mr. Gilson at once interrupted public worship by declaring his suspicions that the parson's worldly goods were in danger, and after a short conference the' congregation set off towards their pastor's house, which they surrounded, thus cuttingoff all means of es- cape. Some of the boldest of them then entered and found Joseph Withy, a returned convict, and two others, who there is reason to believe are ticket-of-leave men. A large quantity of plate had been packed up in the rev. gentleman's carpet bag, ready for removal, and would, no doubt, have been speedily transferred to some distant place, but for the opportune dis- covery, as a vehicle was driven from the neighbourhood by the supposed confederates of the thieves soon after the congrega- tion so unexpectedly emerged from the church. The burglars were handed over to the police. DrsTßEsenva CALAMITY.—The hop season, usually prolific of fires amongst the dwellings of the pickers, has this year been inaugurated by a fearful calamity. Preparations for the accommodation of the pickers had, as usual, been made on the homestead of Mr. C. Gibbs, at Nettlestead, near Wateringbury station—various available lodges and sheds having been appro- priated to their use. In one of the barns a female, about 12 months old, named Bridget Donovan, was sleeping on the straw, at about one o'clock on Saturday, whilst a girl, about eight years of age, named Julia Sullivan, was charged to watch over her. This girl was engaged in cooking at a fire outside the gate, when her clothes caught, and the poor child in her fright ran into the barn, and probably rolled in the straw, to subdue the flames rising around her. The straw became ignited, and in a moment the barn was filled with fire and flame. The alarm then became general, and all hastened to render assistance. Foremost among these was a poor Irish- woman, who it was said had charge of the children. She ran into the barn, and through the smoke and flame succeeded in grasping the elder child, when she flew to a pond a few yards distant, with the burning child in her arms, into which she threw her. The girl was soon rescued from this second chance of destruction, and the remains of her clothes were removed. In the meantime the fire had progressed with the utmost ra- pidity, and several buildings became involved. In a barn was a quantity of wheat, oats, barley, and peas, and about 200 trusses of wheat straw, and adjacent were one stack of oats and two of clover, which were all destroyed, as well as a stable, the barn and lodge, and other buildings. A telegraphic mes- sage was sent to Maidstone shortly after two o'clock, and the engines arrived at the fire at a quarter to three. Previous to this, the engine kept on the property of Alderman Lucas had arrived, and had been brought into play. It was, however, evident that nothing could save the buildings or the stacks, as the roof had fallen in, and nothing was left but an immense mass of blazing ruins on the ground. The engines played upon the flames for about half an hour, particularly upon the spot where the body of the child lay, and the trunk was then recovered, the extremities having been burned away. The elder child was taken to Coxheath union-house, where her in- juries were attended to. She was alive on Monday afternoon. The stock destroyed, of the value of about £6OO, was insured in the Sun office ; but the buildings, the property of the Right llon,Peml?erton Leigh, werpnot insured.---./tpidstong JoNrnal. ,OL STANDARD

CONSEQUENCES OF NEGLECT.—There is, perhaps, no part of the body that ought to be more interesting to us than the teeth, and yet there is also none which is more generally neglected.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.- This preparation is one of the benefits which the science of modern chemistry has conferred upon mankind; for during the first twenty years of the present century to speak of a cure for the Gout was considered a romance ; but now, the efficacy and safety of this medicine is so fully demonstrated by unsolicited testimonials from persons in every rank of life, that public opinion proclaims BLAIR'S PILLS as one of the most important discoveries of the present age; and in testimony of its efficacy, JOHN J. GinEs, Esq., of Friinley, near Bagshot, says Having suffered much from acute Rheumatism, I was induced to try your Blair's Pills, and beg to bear my testimony to their efficacy." Mr. WILLIAM COURTNEY, of Barton Stacey, Hants, says " Haring suffered much from Gout, I had resort to Blair's Pills, and within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought really to be known all over the world." Mr. W. TAYLOR, bookseller, Warminster, Wilts, writes : " Wm. Penny, of Corton, Wilts, was afflicted with Rheumatism, to such an extent that he could not move hand or foot; he was recommended by a gentleman to try Blair's Pills, and accordingly procured a box at Mr. Taylor's, from which he derived so much benefit, that he sent for another, which effected a complete cure." GARRETT FOSTER GILL, Esq., 157, New Bond-street, London, writes :—" Whenever I feel any symptoms of Gout approaching. I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valua- ble that, were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suffered ; but on the contrary, I believe the tendency of Blair's Pills is towards its improvement." These Pills require neither attention nor confinement, and are certain to prevent the disease attacking any vital part; and in consequence of the great and increasing demand for this useful Medicine, the Proprietor has obtained permission from Her Ma- esty's Commissioners of Stamps to have the name and address of " THOMAS PROUT, 229, Strand, London," impressed upon the Government Stamp, affixed to each Box of the Genuine Medicine Sold by all Vendors ofMedicine. THE MIRACULOUS REMEDY!!! HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT. TEN YEARS' INTERMITTENT AT LACKS OF ERYSIPELAS EFFECTUALLY CURED. Copy of a Letter from Mrs. 11. Trimmer, of Compton, near Winchester, dated 13th Sept., 1853. To Professor Holloway.—Sir,—l suffered for a period of ten years (until the last six months) with the most dreadful inter. mittent attacks of Erysipelas, which confined me to my bed during the whole of the summer months in each year. I consulted the most eminent medical gentlemen in Winchester, but was from time to time doomed to be disappointed in my hopes of obtaining any relief to my sufferings, although I complied strictly with the directions my advisers gave me. At length I was per- suaded to give your Ointment and Pills a trial by a female friend who had been cured of a bad leg by using them ; to my surprise and delight, a change for the better was quickly produced, and in a very short time they caused the Erysipelas totally to disappear, and my health was entirely resuscitated, which has remained good ever since.—l am, Szc., (Signed (HARRIET TRIMMER. ASTOUNDING CURE OF SCROFULA. Wm. Pogue, of Emyvale (a man well known in that neighbour- hood), was afflicted for three years with Scrofula on the left arm : there were four ulcers which discharged continuously, and reduced the poor fellow to a mere skeleton. He was for a long time under the care of one medical gentleman, and consulted many others, but derived no benefit whatever. At last he had recourse to Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and by persevering with these remedies, in the course of eight weeks his arm was completely well, and his health thoroughly reestablished.—The truth of this statement can be verified by many of the inhabitants of Ernyvale, and particularly by Mr. Patrick McKenna, druggist, of that place. ASTONISHING CURE OF AN ULCERATED LEG AFTER THREE HOSPITALS FAILED! Copy of a Letter from }lr. W. Hare, of Exeter, dated 22nd September, 1854. To ProfessorHolloway,—A man named Win. Hall, in the employ of Mr. C. Sclater, nurseryman, of this city, has desired me to make known to you the benefit he has received from using your Oint- ment and Pills. For three years this poor man suffered terrible ' with a severely ulcerated leg, and during this time he sought relief at Guy's, King's College, and the Devon and Exeter Hos- pitals, and was finally told by a Surgeon that amputation of the limb was necessary to save his life; however, instead of this advice, lie immediately had recourse to your Ointment and Pills, and they have done him more good than all the other medicines put together, he being now able to follow his occupation, and rapidly gaining health and strength.—l remain, &c., (Sined) HA RE. The Pills should be used conjointly with theWILLIA OinM tment, in most of the following cases : Bad Legs Corns (Soft) Scalds Bad Breasts Cancers [Joints Sore Nipples Burns Contracted and Stiff Sore Throats Bunions Elephantiasis Ski Diseases Bite of Moschetoes Fistulas Scurvy and Sand Flies Gout Sore Heads Coco Bay Glandular Swellings Tumours Chiego foot Lumbago Ulcers Chilblains Piles Wounds Chapped Hands Rheumatism Yaws Sold at the Establishment of Professor HOLLOWAY, 224, Strand, (near Temple Bar,) London, and 80, Maiden-lane, liew York, by all respectable Druggists and Dealers in Medicines throughout the Civilized World, in Pots, at Is. 13d., 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., Ils., 225., and Us. each.

AINS IN THE BACK, GRAVEL, LUMBAGO, RHEUMATISM, GOUT, HEADACHE, NERVOUSNESS, DEBILITY, &c. DR. DE ROOS' COMPOUND RENAL PILL S (as their name Renal, or the Kidneys, indicates) have been long established as a most safe and speedy remedy for the above dangerous complaints, Discharges of any kind, and Diseasesof the Kidneys and organs therewith connected generally, &c.,which, if neglected, frequently end in a lingering painful death. For Depression of Spirits, Excitement, Dislike of Society, Incapacity for Study or Business, Loss of Memory, Confusion, Giddiness, Blood to the Head. Drowsiness, Sleep without refreshment, Nervousness, and even Insanity itself, they are unequalled. Possessing tonic pro- perties,' they agree with the most delicate stomach, strengthen the digestive organs, increase the appetite, and improve the gene- ral health. They require neither confinement nor change of diet, and in three days will effect a cure when mercury and all other dangerous medicines have failed. One trial will convince the most clzgictett% IV surprising properties. Etruria, Potteries.—" Your Renal Pills have done wonders with me and others to whom I have recommended them." H. C. Post-office, Stafford.—" Your Renal Pills are a most splendidmedicine." J. Murphy, 70, Upper Steriu-street, Dublin.--" I never met the like of them before, they are really a surprising medicine." W. Chartres, Esq., Newport, Mayo.—" I have a degree of mental energy and vigour such as I did not feel these two years. MX memory is wonderfully improved, so that I can recollect all the events of each day with the greatest degree of clearness. It is astonishing how 1 got out of such awful sufferings, but I think I owe it altogether to the use olvour Pills." PERSONS GOING ABROAD, CAPTAINS and °THE-LLB, can- not 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. 1M PORTA XT.—The immense demand for the above has induced an unscrupulous person to imitate them, and to assume the name of De Roos. Some unprincipled Vendors, when asked for Dr. DE Roos' PILLS, have attempted to foist upon the public the spu- rious Medicines or trash oftheirown compounding,from which they obtain a larger profit. The ()Elvin NE have the words, " WALTER DE ROOS, LONDON," in white letters on a red ground, printed in the Stamp affixed to each box ; by special direction of- Her Majesty's Honourable Commissioners, to protect the Public from Fraud, and to imitate which is felony. May be obtained through all Medicine Vendors, at Is. lid., 25. 9d., 48. 6d., Ils., and 335. per Box, with full directions for use; or by enclosing Post-office Order or Stamps to Dr. DE ROOS, 10, BERN ERS-STREET, OXFORD-ST., LONDON, they will be sent per return.

OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND'S AMERICAN SARSAPARILLA.—This is one of the most extraordinary and valuable Medicines in the world. Its superiority over other preparations of like character, made in this country, arises from the mode of manufacture, and the advantage of obtaining and working the root in its green and fresh state. The root, when brought to this country, is dry, vapid, and almost tasteless, its virtues and juices having all evaporated; while it often becomes mouldy, musty, and partially decayed, so that it is quite unfit for use. ENGLISH TESTIMONY. We give a few of the many communications we have received since we have been in England, from those who have experienced the great benefits of using this celebrated medicine. They must have some weight in convincing the public of its great value. 49, Davies-street, Berkeley-square, Sept. 1,1851.

Gentlemen,—l was afflicted with the blind Piles, and was under medical treatment for three months, but obtained no relief. Hearing of Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, I obtained some, and, after taking it a short time, the accumulated corrupt matter copiously discharged, and I almost immediately obtained relief. I still continued its use for a time, and not only found relief, but a cure, and am now free from pain. I most sincerely recommend it to all who are similarly affected. WM. HYDE. Messrs.

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

AT THE Police-court, on Wednesday, Henry Riley, a clerk in the Liverpool Post-office, pleaded guilty to having stolen two letters, addressed to Messrs. Ritchie, Stewart, and Co., Bombay, and with appropriating two several sums of £1 lls. 6d. each, which he had received as postage. He was remanded. LIVERPOOL POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY.—At the first meeting for the season, held on Monday, last week, at the Royal Insti- tution, Mr. James Newlands presiding, some beautiful models of vessels, sent in by candidates for Mr. Mondel's prize, were exhibited. Mr. William Rowett exhibited and explained a model of his invention for fitting, handing, and reefing the sails from the deck, without risk to the sailors, in stormy weather. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Rowett, and a similar compliment having been paid to the chairman, the meeting broke up. LIEUT. GEORGE B. PRESTON, of the 97th Regiment, fell whilst gallantly leading his men to repulse the advance of the enemy on the fourth parallel. His brother, Horatio B. Preston, was lieutenant in the 88th Connaught Rangers, and was killed by a rifle ball whilst discharging the arduous duty of super- intending the repair of a gabion. These gallant officers were sons of Mr. William Preston, late of Liverpool, now of Min- stead-lodge, New Forest, Hampshire, and were born in Ai gburth. George B. Preston was for some time during the spring of this year senior lieutenant in command of detachments of the 97th, 18th, and 34th Regiments, stationed at the Rock Perch, New Brighton. The deceased officer was half brother to Mr. Robert Preston, of Messrs. Fawcett, Preston, & Co. FLOWER Snow AT ORMSRIRK.—On Wednesday, a flower- show was held in a field near the railway station, at Ormskirk, and was attended by a numerous body of visitors, including the Lady Arabella Hesketh, the Hon. Mrs. Bootle Wilbraham, the Rev. Joseph and Mrs. Bush, the Rev Mr. and Mrs. Ley, Mr. Halsall, Mrs. Abraham, Mr. Bickersteth, Mr. W. Lax, and Dr. Palmer. The exhibition gave great satisfaction to the visitors, amongst whom were many from Liverpool and the adjoining towns. The show of flowers was particularly rich and abundant. With the exception of the " Cottagers' De- partment," the exhibition was pronounced to be the best the society ever had. A sweepstakes for dahlias, of ss. each, was announced. There was an interesting exhibition of 200 spe- cimens of plants collected in the neighbourhood of Ormskirk, which were dried and prepared on paper. It attracted great curiosity. After the payment of prizes, the exhibition was closed, with musical honours, about 7 o'clock. THE FALL. OF SEBASTOPOL.—GREAT EXCITEMENT IN PRESCOT.—Great rejoicing took place on Wednesday, in con- sequence of the recent arrival of the glorious news of the fall of this renowned stronghold. The bells of St. Mary's Church sent forth their merry peals. A large bonfire was made in the market-place, where several thousands had collected to celebrate this memorable event. Mr. Wallace, manager of the gas-works, came forward with several barrels of tar and other combustibles, which illumined the whole town. Several gentlemen and tradesmen brought supplies of fireworks, and, to add to the enjoyment, Mr. Rigby, of Church-street, was in attendance with a select party, and struck up " God save the Queen," " Rule Britannia," &c., the whole concourse joining in the chorus, and at the end of every song three cheers were given for the brilliant success of the allied arms. The rejoicing was kept •up to a late hour, when the multitude began to depart to their several homes. In other parts of the town, large bonfires were made. BREACH OF THE PEACE.—At the Kirkdale Petty Sessions, on Friday, Cornelius O'Mara, Patrick Higgins, James Pierce, and Samuel Gore, were charged with fighting and creating a breach of the peace on the night of Sunday, the 26th August last. On the day in question, a man named Swift came from Liverpool with another man and a woman to see Gore. About half-past eleven they heard a noise, which they ascertained to be caused by a cart loaded with potatoes. Swift, suspecting that something was wrong, asked the carter to give him some informa- tion about the potatoes, and, obtaining no reply, went to the house of a police-constable to apprise him of the circumstance, but not finding him at home, returned to Gore's. Soon after, between twelve and one o'clock, the first three prisoners came to Gore's house, and when the door was opened to them, com- menced a savage attack upon Swift and on Gore, who attempted to protect him. Both were knocked down and kicked, and it was with great difficulty that the police-officer, who was promptly on the spot, could quell the disturbance. Gore, who admitted that, in self-defence, he struck the man who knocked him down, was immediately discharged. The other prisoners were bound over, themselves in £lO each, and two sureties each in £5, to keep the peace for twelve months. MANSLAUGHTER.—On Wednesday, an inquest was held before the borough coroner on the body of William Appleton, who met his death on Monday night under circumstances which involved a charge of manslaughter against a shoe- maker and his wife, named John and Jane Woods. About eleven o'clock the male prisoner was quarrelling with a cripple, named Noland, about seine rent which was due to him by Noland's parents. The deceased, who was a shipcar- penter, then came up to take the part of the cripple, and, in the struggle which ensued, was knocked down, some of the witnesses say by a blow from Woods' fist, and others by a blow with a poker by Mrs. Woods. He was carried into a cellar close by ; but, notwithstanding that every attention was there paid to him by a surgeon from St. Anne's Dispen- sary, he died in the course of an hour. On an examination there only appeared a slight abrasion of the skin on the fore- head ; but the immediate cause of death was found to be ex- travasation of blood on the brain, the result of external vio- lence. The female prisoner denied that either she or her hus- band had struck the deceased at all. The jury returned a .verdict of manslaughter against the two prisoners, and they were both committed for trial at the assizes. SELECT VESTRY.—The fortnightly meeting was held on 'Tuesday, at the parish offices, Brownlow-hill, the Ven. Arch- deacon Brooks in the chair. From the minutes of the Wcrk- house Committee it appeared that the numbers admitted last weak to the vagrant sheds were 123 males, 111 females, and 52 children, in all 286. The total number of sick cases in the house on the Ist inst. were 510, including 32 fever and 45 itch. The total number in the house on the sth inst. were 1980. The report of the special committee, appointed to enquire into ,the items lately disallowed by the poor-law auditors was read. On the motion of the finance committee being read, Mr. Denton objected to that part of the minutes which recom- mended the board to proceed to the appointment of a super- intendent or out-door inspector. He would move that the consideration of this appointment be deferred for four months. After some discussion, Mr. Denton said he would alter 'his motion to a postponement for two months instead of four. A division was finally taken, which resulted in the postponement being carried by 12 to 9. Mr. Parnell, Poor-law Inspector, laid before the board some statistics relative to pauperism in Liverpool. From this statement it appears that the number of paupers on the books at present is 13,409, the number last year .at this time being 13,133. Though this appears an in- crease as compared with last year, Mr. Farnallexplained that when compared with several years past, during which the numbers ranged from 17,000 to 18,000, it was considerably less. Of the whole number at present on the books, 3,170 were old and infirm people; 1,582 orphan children.; and 3,295 adult able-bodied paupers ; 236 of the latter being men and the remainder women. Women in fact constituted the great bulk of the paupers. A considerable saving had been effected in the expenditure for weekly relief; and although the number in the house was greater than last year by 276, the sum .ex- pended was less by £55 7s. 2d. weekly than was expended last year. This saving would amount, it was anticipated, at the end of the year, to £2,680 and upwards.—Mr. Fairhurst, of St. Anne-street, was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. James Hughes. Doerr ComaturnE.—The dock committee met on Thurs- day, Mr. Charles Turner presiding. The other members pre- sent were Messrs.Shand, Palmer, Brocklebank, Barber, Mann, Rounthwaite, Lockett, Anderson, Bold, Rankin, Robinson, Chaloner, and Littledale.—On the recommendation of the works -sub-committee, the tender of Mr. J. H. Mullen to fence in the timber-yards at the east side of the Huskisson Dock, for 14s. per lineal yard, was accepted. The whole ten- der will amount to about £Boo.—The tender of Mr. Samuel Moss, to supply 19,300 feet of glass for the roof of the wool warehouses, for £1,140, was accepted.—Mr. Wm. Roskell's tender to supply a turret clock at the south end of the Wap- ping Docks, for £260, was accepted.—The marine department sub-committee.asked the confirmation of the appointment on trial for six months of Lieutenant Parkes, R.N., as assistant marine surveyor, at a salary of £3OO a-year, being £5O per annum more than Mr. Jones received. Confirmed.—A letter was read from the Town-clerk, stating that on Friday last the Birkenhead docks became vested in the corporation, who had on that day given the bonds to the Birkenhead dock trustees, as required 'by 'the Birkenhead Dock Act. The property, so far as that portion of it relating to the accom- modation of shipping went, was, therefore, placed under the management of the dock ,committee.—The chairman said the dock committee had already placed the different departments of the Birkenhead estate under the appropriate subcom- mittees. The finance committee now proposed that, as an accommodation to merchants, the tonnage dues on shipping should be paid in Liverpool, instead of at Birkenhead, as heretofore.—Mr. Palmer : There are no rates upon goods ? The Chairman That is so; but' there are warehouse rents and harbourage charges to be collected.—Mr. Rounthwaite then brought forward the motion, notice of which he had given at the last meeting. It was to the effect that the time the steamships occupied the docks be included in the returns recently moved for by Mr. Mann, The motion was unani- mously agreed to.—Mr. Mann then moved for a return of the number of steamers using the graving docks and blocks within the last financial year, which, after a few remarks from Mr. Rounthwaite, was agreed to; and the committee ad- journed, after having held a very short meeting. NOVEL SITUATION FOR AN ILLICIT DISTILLERY.—A ease displaying extraordinary ingenuity on the part of an illicit distiller of spirits, was investigated at the Police-court, on Wednesday. On the 23rd of May last, Robert Robertson engaged five vaults under Gill-street market and paid £6, a quarter's rent, in advance. He stated that he was taking it for an ale and porter bottling store, on behalf of Mr. John Blair, a brewer at Manchester, and he signed an agreement of tenancy to that effect. Some hogsheads, similar to porter hogsheads, were seen to go into the place, but otherwise no- thing particular was noticed, Robertson came and went away, generally by himself, but sometimes accompanied by a working man, like a bricklayer, and sometimes by a woman. Certain indications, however, aroused the suspicion of the ex- cise authorities, and they sent down two experienced officers from London, Benjamin John Elvey and John Vanstrom. These two, with John Henry Sproule, a Liverpool officer, and Robert Lloyd, one of the market officials, made a "descent" upon the vaults occupied by Robertson, on the 12th of August last. After some little delay, occasioned by Robertson, who was inside, they gained admission, and found a most ingenious apparatus for distilling, which had evidently been very re- cently at work. It consisted of a small copper still, placed on iron frames against a wall, and heated by means of gas. In an adjoining cellar, the door of which had been broken open with a sledge-hammer, they found 300 or 400 gallons of mo- lasses "wash" in tubs, and a small quantity of very excellent distilled spirit. The officers could not conceal their admira- tion of the apparatus, and admitted that they they had never seen a better. " Yes," said Robertson, " and it's all my own invention. I put it here to try it, and I'm going to apply for a patent for it. The best of it is, it's self-acting. I can leave it to itself, and every second hour it will produce a gallon of spirits 60 per cent. overproof." Six empty hogsheads of mo- lasses were found in the vaults, so that it was evident that the "trial" had been a lengthy one. Everything was seized, and Robertson taken before the magistrates, and fined £3O for manufacturing spirits without a license. He could not pay the penalty, and was incarcerated in gaol. A second informa- tion was heard against him, for being the " owner of an illicit still, and for having an illicit still in his custody." The bench inflicted a penalty of £lOO. One curious part of the affair was that, when Robertson entered on the tenancy of the vaults, a gas meter, left by a former tenant some time previously, was there, and he appropriated it to his own pur- poses, without the knowledge of the Gas Company, thus ob- taining a three menthe' supply of " flier without any cost, ,e trti -.:k -mired rs4t IN ,7111 e.) v t Qt 100/q) IV Alma- .

NOTICE THE NUMBER 102. ipAINLESS TOOTII EXTRACTION, (WITHO V 7' CHLOROM.) BY ROYAL LETTERS PATEFOR NT. Mr. ESKELL is the only DENTIST privileged to use the Patent in LIVERPOOL. A new and elegant IMPROVEMENT connected with DENTAL SURGERY has been invented by MR. ESKELL, SURGEON DENTIST, No. 75, RODNEY-STREET, (CORNER OF UPPER DUKE-STREET), LIVERPOOL. It is the construction of an entirely new description of ARTIFI- CIAL TEETH, beautifully Enamelled and of the most exquisite Workmanship, from Part of a Tooth to a Complete Set, and is composed of the finest Materials, which are afterwards Enamelled to re resem rr bl odibl e the Natural Teeth, in every Shade and Colour. They a incoe, (will never change colour or decay,) and when adapted to the mouth are not discernible from the Natural Teeth. They are constructed upon Metals of unexceptionable purity, and for comfort in wearing and general appearance cannot be excelled. Mr. ESKELL supplies ARTIFICIAL TEETH upon his new sys- tem of SELF-ADHESION, without extrasting any Teeth or Stumps. Mr. Esxxvi. has Specimens in every variety, and will be happy to show them to those interested in the subject, when their pre-eminence will be at once apparent, and this statement of their superiority over all others will be found to be entirely and scrupulously correct; so much so that Mr. ESKELL will give THREE MONTHS' TRIAL WITHOUT PAYMENT, a sufficient guarantee of their COMFORT, EASE, BEAUTY, and DURABILITY, at charges strictly moderate, and within the reach of the most economical. Incorrodible ARTIFICIAL TEETH, as above, from TEN SHILLINGS EACH TOOTH. FILLG TEETH With ESKELL'S celebrated WHITEDECAYED TERRA PASTE, which never changes colour, and is free from those injurious proper- ties found in ordinary Stoppings. It is applied in a soft state, like paste, to the cavity of the Tooth, without giving the slightest pain, and in a few minutes it becomes as hard as the Enamel of the Tooth itself. A NEW MODE OF EXTRACTING TEETH, BY A PATENT FULCRUM, By which means the Gums cannot be lacerated, the danger of breaking the Tooth prevented, and haemorrhage considerably lessened;-- and the Tooth being extracted perpendicularly and almost PAINLESS, renders Chloroform unnecessary. " We can confidently direct attention to it ae a boon to the profession and the public."—Lancet. " It allows of the extraction of teeth in the most scientific and easy manner."—Medical Times. There is generally so much difficulty experienced in the intro- duction of any novelty, however valuable, especially in Medicine or Surgery, and that difficulty is so much enhanced if the inven- tion militates against preconceived ideas, and old-established and cherished modes of practice, that it is thought' desirable to pub- lish some of the Testimonials received in favour of the Patent Apparatus from some of the many persons who have experienced its benefits. The following are some of the most eminent medical men to whom the Chair and Fulcrum have been shown, which has met with their entire approbation; some of them have also been patients, and to them the reader can be more particularly re- ferred : Sir B. Brodie, J. Avery, Esq., Dr. B. Cooper, S. Lane, Esq., Hyde-park- Dr. Watson, corner, Dr. Rigby, Dr. Taylor Smith, Dr. Holland, T. Wakley, Esq., M.P., Dr. Parr, T. Wakley, Esq., jun.
