SIR E. B. LYTTON'S MOTION. Sir E. B. LYTTOY then rose and said that, in bringing for- ward his resolution he hoped the house would be as indulgent to him as they had been to the noble lord, placed as he was under the necessity of bringing forward a motioe against a government which, but for the conduct of one of its members, was entitled to their indulgence and commpassion. He then proceeded to criticies the noble lord's speech, who, he said, as a member of the government, had called upon the country to spill its best blood in a war which he, as a negotiator, believed unnecessary. Adverting to the Vienna correspondence, he expressed surprise that the noble lord had not retired from the cabinet within a week after he returned. It was surpris- ing that the noble lord at the head of the government had not seen that his government could not go on while its members were so completely divided in opinion, as was apparent from the correspondence that the Secretaay for the Colonies and the Secretary for Foreign Affairs were wholly at variance on the question of counterpoise. He (Sir. E. B. Lytton) gave a hearty concurrence to the sound and healthy tone of Lord Claren- don's correspondence, but how could Lord Palmerstone think of going on when he contrasted the opinions of that nobleman with those of Lord J. Russell. Was Lord Clarendon to be considered the specimen of the Cabinet F Were they all united—were the first Lord of the Admiralty and the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer in unison with the rest of the Cabinet in carrying on the war ? The Cabinet was said tol3e united last May, yet it was now admitted that there were differences of opinion ; and he would remark that a discussion like this would scarcely be excused by the plea of expediency. He would withdraw his motion, for all its objects had been at- tained. Mr. BOUVERIE said that, as the motion had vanished into thin air, he would offer a few words upon a subject personal to himself. He had seen a statement that he was one of some members of the government who had waited upon Lord Pal- merston, to say that they could not resist the motion of the hon. baaonet. The very reverse of that statement was the truth. The fact was, that he had refused to be a party to such a representation, upon the distinct ground of his personal attachment to Lord J. Russell ; but he stated that, as a friend of the noble lord, he was ready, however painful it might be, to convey to him the general impression among his colleagues. In this he thought he was acting as a true friend of the noble lord—(a laugh)—and he was satisfied that his noble friend fully appreciated the motives which led him to take such a step. (A laugh)

EMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STAN: size (and roughly reduced to a globular shape, which have doubtless been intended to be used as ammunition for the ballistm The chief value of the inscription, however, consists in the evidence which it affords of the presence in Britain of a Roman proprietor, of whom the tablets previously discovered are nearly silent—Claudius Paulinus. One of the slabs discovered by the Duke of Northumberland on the occasion re- ferred to, and engraved in the second edition of Bruce's Roman Wall, contains a name resembling that of Paulinus, but, unfortunately, a fracture in the stone renders it indistinct. On comparing the two inscrip- tions, which are of the same character, and evidently belong to the same age, there can be no doubt that the august functionary named upon them both is Clau- dius Paulinus. Mr. Roach Smith, in the third vo- lume of his Collectanea Antigua, gives an inscription found. at Vieux, in France, which mentions Claudius Pauhnus, and among other particulars respecting him states that he was imperial legate and proprietor of the province of Lyons, and afterwards of the province of Britain. No doubt the individual referred to in both cases is the same. It is interesting to observe that, while the soldiers of England and France are fighting side by side in the East, the peaceful exca- vators of both nations are, in the west, concentrating the rays of historic truth upon the footprints of the great people who taught them both how to make war and how to govern. Several fragments of glass and pottery, some of them of unsual types, have been found. On a hill to the south of the Rede-water, and con- fronting that on which the Roman camp stands, are distinct traces of an ancient British fortification. Nu- merous circular dwellings are enclosed in earthworks of considerable magnitude and complexity. We can easily conceive with how much anxiety and jealousy the tenants of these opposing encampments would eye each other. The excavations are going on steadily, and other discoveries are expected.

IVERPOOL ROYAL INFIRMARY.---It is . with much regret that the Committee find themselves com- pelled to make an urgent APPEAL to the Public on behalf of this Institution, Owing to the serious diminution in the Income, from a falling °inn Donations and Legacies,which amounted, in 185 2, t0_*'2,219 ; 1853,.t'1,315; 185 4,775; and thehigh prices of all Articles of Consumption. the past year closed with a heavy Debt of nearly <e1,400, which is daily increacing, from the same causes being still in operation.

The Royal assent was given by commission to a number 01 bills. A long discussion took place upon the presentation of a petition from certain native inhabitants of the presidency of Madras, praying for a change in the mode of Indian govern- ment. The bills on the table were advanced a stage. The House adjourned at 6.55 p.m. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY. The house met at four o'clock. Mr. Grenville Berkeley took the oaths and his seat for Cheltenham. The house was summoned to the House of. Lords, to hear the royal assent given by commission to a number of public and private bills. Lord J. Russell entered the house shortly before half-past four o'clock, and took his seat at the back of the ministerial benches, just below Lord Seymour. In reply to Captain Duncombe, Sir . WOOD said the release of the British officers and seamen taken at Hango had been formally demanded on the part of Her Majesty's govern- ment, but no answer had yet been received. The prisoners, he understood, were well treated. Lord PALMERSTON, in answer to a question from Mr. Moffatt, stated that, it would not be for the interests of the public to place the Post-office upon the same footing as the Customs or the Excise ; and, on consideration, he saw no rea- son for proposing such a change. Captain DUNCOMBE asked the noble lord whether, at any time, a subsidy was contemplated for Austria by the British government ? Lord PALMERSMN replied : No, Sir ! Never ! LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S EXPLANATIONS, On the motion that the order of the day be postponed, for the purpose of proceeding with Sir E. B. Lytton's motion, LORD J. RussELL rose and said, that on Thursday last he had stated to Lord Palmerston that he wished to retire from office, and he had to state that Her Majesty had been pleased to accept his resignation, and he now held office only until his successor was appointed. He then entered at great length into an account of his proceedings at ;Vienna, and upon his return, observing that it was true he had promised to lay before the Government in the most favourable manner the propositions that had been made to him by Austria. He did so in conjunction with other persons of great weight and authority, and acted in conjunction with the Ministers of Fo- reign Affairs for France and Turkey. He brought this proposal to this country upon the 29th of April. On the 30th, a Cabinet Council was held, the result of which was that the propositions not adopted by Her Majesty's Government. He then justi- fied his conduct in recommending the adoption of these pro- positions, his opinionposi tion os ,f their merits;that and the rejection t oof Mr.tileni Dis did rael notobjections a replied that if they were received, there was no great issue at stake to justify the exertions which this country was making to carry on the war. It was because the war was necessary that these exertions should be made, and he was the bearer of the propositions because he thought they were at that time fit to be accepted. He appreciated the magnitude of the peril to Turkey; he conceived the power of the project of Russia to be such that it was necessary, if possible, to combine all the great powers of Europe against her, in order that peace might be secured. Such was the foundation of his opinions— not formed suddenly upon the merits of the proposition; but when Lord Westmoreland wrote, on the 16th May, a despatch stating that the Austrian Government conceived they had fulfilled the conditions of the treaty of December 2nd, and that they would not make the refusal of Russia to accept the proposition A casus belli, but only a ground for breaking off the Conferences. When the government received that de- spatch, there was no doubt, on their part, that it was not worth their while to go into Conference to support a propo- sition of the kind there stated, which was less favourable to the Allies than that proposed by M. Dronyn de LhuyS, which it was nearly certain, Russia would reject, and which Austria would not go to war to support. From that time, therefore, there was altogether an end to negociations with Austria for the purpose of proposing an ultimatum to Russia, and that , the war must be continued in order to maintain the obects of the Allies. It had been made a reproach to him by Mr. Disraeli and others, that though he had been the bearer of the Austrian propositions, he had spoken in favour of ta vigourous prosecution of the war. He could not see what else he could possibly do. The govern-. ment had determined that the negotiations must be put an end to, and what other means were there left for obtaining for a solution to the third point. The government were quite right in not making a communication to the house of the Austrian propositions at that time. The decision of Austria not to interfere by force nor to move her armies upon Russian trritory, but on the contrary to withdraw from any participation in the the contest, and even to diminish and reduce here froces having been taken, it was evident from that moment that Russia which had been threatened, and has felt the pressure of the great increase of the Austrian army, feel- ing that preessure taken off, would immediately feel herself at liberty to detatch some of the best troops in her army.to the shores of the Crimea, to oppose the armies of Great Britain and France, render these circumstances, it would have been, most unjusti liable for the government to have stated prema- turely the decision of Austria not to propose an ultimatum to Russia. He could not conceive a greater dereliction of deity in such acase. The noble lord further defended his opinion in this respect, adding that the government were united in the course that bad been taken. He further stated that when Mr. Gib. son brought forward his question last Friday, after all that had then occurred, he should have been totally unworthy of his opinion if he had shrunk from meeting it with the expla- _ nation which he then made. What else could he do than own and admit the part he had taken in these transactions. He should have been ashamed of himself if he had denied that which he had done, and that whieh was his conscientious opinion. The hon. haronet (Sir E. Lytton) thought that the course he had taken was a ground for want of confidence in the whole Administration, and he was of opinion that becanse he (Lord J. Russell) held these views in May, he was incapable of serving Her Majesty. Now that impression appeared to preuail generally, and he consequently thought it necessary to tender his resignation. Lord Palmerston having taken this course, he did not feel at all discontented with the position in which he found himself. He saw no reason to do so. He had always acted from what he believed to be for the benefit of the country. He had turned over this question again and again with a view to the public interest. He had advised that which he thought expedient for the eountry, and, whatever might happen, he had the satisfaction of having acted accord- • ing to his conscience.

PATRONS AND SUPPORTERS: THE MERCHANTS AND SHIPOWNERS OF LIVERPOOL. Liverpool being now the first port of embarka- tion in the world, it has been thought advisable to AA' establish a company for the express purpose of giv- igra,A, ing the intending emigrant to the British Colonies in xie Australia and Canada, and to the United States of America (but more especially to ustralia), such gratuitous in- formation as is requisite to obtain a cheap aad agreeable voyage, and to promote his safety and success on his arrival. To this end a regular register will be kept at the Company's Offices of all Emigrant Ships of character leaving Liverpool, to- gether with the correct time of sailing, the scale of charge, &c., and the latest time for the emigrant leaving his home. Another register will contain a list of respectable hotels and lodging-houses, with their scale of charges, and the addresses of tradesmen from whom the emigrant may obtain his outfit of ne- cessary articles at moderate prices. As none but ships, hotels, and tradesmen of undoubted cha- racter can obtain an entry on the Company's Register, it is con- fidently and earnestly hoped that the emigrant will firmly with- stand every attempt through other means to induce him to engage his passage, or pay a deposit, before his arrival at the Company's Offices in Liverpool, where he is certain to gain that knowledge, free of charge, which will effectually shield him against the impo- sitions to which he is unavoidably exposed. Emigrants should give the company a week's notice at least of the time of their departure for Liverpool, and their mode of tra- velling, when its servants will be in attendance to receive them and their luggage. As the company is supported by its patrons, no servant is al- lowed to receive fees of any kind on pain of dismissal. Attendance at the Chief Offices, Liverpool, from Ten to Five daily. All applications attended to gratuitously. Letters per post, with postage stamp enclosed, must be addressed to " The Secretary of the Emigrants' Advice and Protection Company, Liverpool." W.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. AT THE THEATRE ROYAL, during the past week, such ama- teurs of well-represented dramatic pieces of mere amusement as chose to attend, had ample opportunity of gratification in the performances of M. Levassor and his able assistants, who represented a series of comic dramas, and cleverly enacted parodies on pieces of established reputation. M. Levassor is an actor of great and versatile talent, which has been culti- vated with praiseworthy and successful assiduity. In several of the pieces he sustained more characters than one, and de- lighted his audience with the rapidity of his changes, and the entire vraisemblance of his impersonations. His style is polished, graceful, and easy, and the quiet simplicity of his really earnest deportment takes his representations almost out of the range of histrionic effort, and places his appearance more on a par with the refined suavity of elevated socsociallife. In dis- playing the characteristics of a man of breeding and refine; ment, he exhibits the steady equipoise of manner observable in the educated gentleman—he is at once firm and unobtrusive— easy, without being familiar—dignified without hauteur. As a comic actor, he was scarcely, if at all, less successful: now displaying bursts of fun, and anon giving effect to a stream of quiet, gentle, and refined humour of the most fascinating order. In Mad'lle. Zupire, he had an able and judicious aide. This lady is an admirable specimen of the accomplished French comedienne. Always self-possessed and graceful, she treads the stage as she would the floor of a drawing-room, and while never losing sight of the actress, she, in every phase of her performance, keeps the lady present to the eye of the specta- tor. She sings, too, with much taste and expression, and adds the charm of a refined ease of deportment to a handsome figure, and a countenance full of characteristic emotion. Md'lle. Pascal and Mons. Vezian further contributed by their talents and the quiet exercise of their varied skill to enhance the value of these beautiful performances.—At this theatre it will be perceived Mr. Charles Matthews commences an engage- ment for six nights on Monday next. AT THE ROYAL AIarEXTREITIZE the performances have been graced by the appearance of a debutante, in the person of Miss Blanche Fane, who, along with the accom- plished comedian, Mr. Ranger, has been playing in a round of favourite English comedies. This young lady is about to make her curtsey on the boards of the Haymarket, prepara- tory to which she has taken a brief engagement here. In person she is rather petite, although well formed and of an easy carriage; her countenance is pleasing, and finely suscep- tible of varied expression. In stage deportment she is natural and easy, and is possessed of a lively play of features. In several of the characters which she has enacted, she has dis- played a good—indeed an excellent appreciation of the part alloted to her, and has been gay and sportive without an effort—sedate and thoughtful without being heavily didactic. As Lady Teazle, in the "School for Scandal," which she played on Wednesday, and repeated on Friday, she exhibited a great deal of right feeling, and gave an excellent repre- sentation of the giddy thoughtlessness and inconsiderate vivacity of impulsive emotion. The 'Arta Sir Peter was ad- mirably sustained by Mr. Ranger, and most of the other •cha- racters were respectably filled up. The Lady Sneertnell of Mrs. J. Walton would have lost nothing of its interest or effi- ciency if she had had time to render herself moderately familiar With the dialogue. As 'Charles Suefil4e, Loraine appeared to rather more advantage than usual. ITALIAN OPERAS IN LIVERPOOL..--It is rumoured that arrangements have been made fora series of Italian operatic performances in this town, to take place in the course of the ensuing autumn, which, for completeness and efficiency, will surpass any previously witnessed in Liverpool, .and be little inferior to those given in the metropolis. The 'principal ar- tistes of the Royal Italian Opera are it is-said engaged, includ- ing -Gardini and Tamberlik as tenor, Taglialco, &c., bassi, Boil°, Garcia, Rudersdorf, Itidibe, &c., an prime donne. The chorus and band will also be complete, and the properties and dresses the same as at Covent-garden. 'The operas to be given will, we believe, consist of several new to the Liverpool public, ircluding Verdi's chef d'teuvre " Il Trovatore," which has been so successful in London this season. NEXT session of Parliament, it is said, a bill will be intro- duced making Liverpool and Birkenhead one municipality. THE CIVIL SERVICE IN LIVERPOOL: APPOINTMENM— Mr. Hugh Campbell has been appointed an extra weighar in the Customs department of this port. In the Inland Revenue department, Mr. John',Dodd, Excise-officer, has been appointed to Holywell Third Ride, North Wales Collection. AnoUT three months ago a gentleman sent a diamond breast- pin to Mr. Charles Wells, jeweller, Bold-street, to be repaired, and on being returned it was found that paste had been sub- stituted for the diamond. The man who had repaired the pin absconded, and no trace'of the missing diamond was discovered until last week, when it was- taken to Mr. Wells' shop by a young woman, Who offered it for sale. She was given into custody, and has been remanded until the police can make in- quiries. SHORT TIMR TN MlLLs.—The meetings convened in Pres- ton last week and the preceding week, to consider the pro- priety of working short time' in cotton factories, were not attended by many millowners, -there being a general feeling that in such a ,question each manufacturer should be left to act as his inclination or interest led him, rather than, join in any combination. We' learn,' however, 'that the state of the trade is such that it is not improbable that several mills will soon run four days a week, there being a general impresiion that such a -course can alone effect any beneficial change either in the 'Liverpool or Manchester markets.—Preston Chronicle. DEPARTURE OF AUSTRALIAN SHIPS.—To-morrow •the Royal Mail padket clipper ship Shalimar, belonging to Messrs. Pilkington and Wilson's-celebrated " White' Star" Line, Will go into the river, and she li-111, without fail, sail on Friday next, the 20th inst. She has already on board nearly all her cargo, and she will carry • out about 320 passengers. Her mails will close in London on ' Thursday evening ; but in Liverpool letters will be reeeived,•with late fees, to within an hour or two of the vessel's -sailing. The Conway, belonging to the " Black Ball" Line; sailed on Thursday last, for Hobart Town, with a full-cargo•and a large compliment of passengers. The Biobio, belonging to ,the same company, will probably sail this week for Sydney. The James Baines is the next mail- packet after the Shalimar,,for Melbourne, on the sth August. The Bomeram, with the Australian mails, is expected in about a week from Melbourne. Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and ,Co., have their clipper ship --Albatross on the berth for Melbourne. Messrs. Pilkington and ,Wilson are in hourly expectation of the arrival of the Red !Jacket. WAR MOVEMENTS A.T 'anis PORT.—The South American and General Steam Navigation Company's screw-steamer Imperatriz, 1,800 tons, Captain Cox, arrived in the Mersey on Wednesday night, from 'Portsmouth, at which port -ale landed invalids from the seat of war. She is in the Sandou Graving Dock, getting a thorough overhaul. Her horse fittings have been taken down, and she is being prepared to receive infantry. 2She will be ready in about a week, when she will embark the ,66th Foot, consisting of 33 officers and 869 rank and file. The Admiralty troop-steamer Resolute, Transport No. 214, arrived here on Saturday, to remedy some slight defects in her new machinery. The Cunard screw-steamer Emu, Transport No. 74, arrived here -on Sunday morning, bringing ;Capt. Wickham, 33rd Regiment, wounded in the Crimea,-the Syrian Archbishop of India, and a number of dock-yard artificers from the Black Sea. The steamer City of Aberdeen is hourly expected here from Portsmouth, to embark detachments of the 2nd Dragoon Guards and the 11'-th Lancers for the Crimea. Three large batches of naval volunteers, were sent up to London last week, and another will be despatched to-night. It is believed that a trial of Naysmith's large wrought-iron gun will take place on the North Shore in: a few days. ONE OF THE GREATESTPLAWIES OF LlFE.—Mary Trainer, a rather good-looking servant girl, was charged at the Police- court, yesterday, with robbing her mistress, Mrs. Keegan, of Upper Canning-street, with whom she had lived about five weeks. A gentleman who -lodges at the houses said :—That about half-past five o'clock -a few mornings ago, he heard a loud ring at the door, but paid •no attention to it. Shortly after he heard another ding, and in going down stairs he saw a policeman at the door, -who said that he had noticed the girl sitting up during the night, and finding the door open he sus- ,pected she had run away, and so he rang the bell. This was -found to be true, her bed in •the kitchen had not been laid -upon, and several little things were missing. Inspector Horne said that he was informed of the robbery, and traced the girl to:a house in Gascoigne-street, where he found a large box. She then took him to a shop in Waterloo-road, where he found a band-box, and at her mother's, in Crosshall-street, he found another box belonging to her. All these eontained property stolen from Mrs. Keegan, consisting of a dress, pockethand- kerchiefs, shoes, boots, gloves, arc. A person from the shop in Waterloo-road said that the prisoner asked her misses to have her box there, as she was going to sail for America in a day or two. The plaintiff did not press the charge, .as the girl had previously borne a good character, and the latter got off with two months' imprisonment. CLEVEIOCAPTURE OF DARING THIEVES.—James Mitchell and Owen ,Hall, two unmistakeable rogues in appearance, and Thomas Fow/er, a better-looking man, rather respectably dressed, were brought up at the Police-court, yesterday. Detective-officer Povey stated that, in consequence of the numerous robberies from houses whose occupants are " gone to market" or out for the summer," he and M'Culloch were sent out on particular duty on Saturday morning. About half-past ten o'clock they saw Mitchell and Hall "-dodging" about a house in Egerton-street, which was robbed that morning. They were well disguised, and Mitchell was carry- ing a black stuff bag. After trying both the front and back doors of that house, they (the officers) saw them go to the house of the schoolmaster of St. James' Schools, near Parlia- ment-street, and try that. The officers then posted them- selves amongst the shrubs of St. James's Mount, whore they had a distinct view .of the rogues' manceurres. After seeing enough to satisfy them that there was " something in the wind," the detectives made a " descent." Povey suc- ceeded in pouncing upon Hall, but McCulloch had a •chase after Mitchell through several streets, and the latter was captured in St. George's-square, by Inspector Murphy, who happened to be there, as he said "quite promiscuous," on other business. Povey took Hall into a publie-house in Tithebarn-street, and searched him. He found an enor- mous bunch of skeleton keys, a screw driver, and other housebreaking implements. One of the keys fits the door of a house in Windsor-street, robbed last week of about £lOO worth of property, and the chisel fitted the marks in both the drawers and wardrobes that had been opened in it. Another key fitted a house where £4O worth of property was taken a few days ago ; another the front door of the house of the schoolmaster already referred to ; and another key fitted the back door of the house of Captain J. N. Forbes (so well-known for his Australian voyages), at No. 98, Windsor-street, which was " marked" to be robbed that night. Detective Carlisle searched Hall's lodgings, at 14, Lawrence-street, where he found two more skeleton keys, concealed in a piece of paper, at the top of a cupboard. At Mitchell's lodgings in Gerard- street, a gold stud was found, similar to a set stolen from the house in Egerton-street on Saturday morning. The black bag which he was carrying, contained a shawl as " a blind," in case of an awkward inquiry, One or two female witnesses were called, who identified both prisoners as persons whom they had seen lurking about the houses robbed on the day of the occurrences. Inspector Murphy said that after he had consigned Mitchell to the Police-office, in Dale-street, he came out and saw Fowler standing near the door, as if interested in the fate of the prisoners. He seized him suddenly, and found in his pockets a gold watch- case and pawn tickets for two gold watches, probably stolen at the races, and of which he could give no satisfactory account. Mr. Bluck, attorney, who appeared for the prisoners, asked Murphy if he did not know that Fowler was a watchmaker ? Murphy : Aye, and something more. (Laughter.) He has stolen watches. Povey produced the " implements" found upon the pris o ilers. Mr. Bluck : Do you call those skeleton keys ? Pove : Yes, and very good ones, too. Mr. Bluck : They are very rusty. Povey : Perhaps, they haven't been much in practice lately. (Laughter.) Mr. Bluck : And are they not used by other persons besides the prisoners ? Povey : No. Whitesmiths use them for a particular purpose some- times. The prisoners were all remanded, as Inspector Murphy said he had no doubt he could obtain further evidence. COMMITTEE ON ADULTERATION OF FOOD. THE committee appointed by the House of Commons to in- quire into the subjects of adulterations of food assembled at one o'clock on Friday, Mr. Scholefield iu the chair. Dr. Hassell was the first witness called, and he stated the results of his investigation into almost every article of food, not one of which escaped adulteration. The substances em- ployed in the process of adulteration were sawdust, red ferru- ginous earth, Venetian red, vermillion, Prussian blue, turmeric, and things of the most filthy and poisonous character. In such articles as arrowroot, mustard, &c., there was scarcely a particle of the genuine substance which they pretended to be. The witness stated that tea-leaves were dried up, coloured with offensive matter, and resold as genuine tea. In the manufac- ture of pickles copper was very extensively used. Red lead was often found in Cayenne pepper, and was apt tq be very in- jurious to the system if taken two or three times a week. Chromate of lead was used so extensively in snuff as frequently to produce paralysis. No leads escaped freely out of the system, but were cumulative, and consequently dangerous. It might be mentioned that a strong redness in Cayenne peper was a ,suspicious circumstance, though not conclusive, as the addition of salt to pure Cayenne would render it more vividly red than even red lead itself. _ Lord Claude Hamilton—With regard to other articles, are they adulterated chiefly by the wholesale dealers, or by retail dealers, to whom they are supplied ? Witness—No doubt by the wholesale dealers. On referring to the adulterations of marmalade, the Chair- man inquired whether it was always made of oranges. Wit- ness—Oh no; generally of turnips. (Laughter.) In answer to questions in reference to coloured con- fectionery, the witness stated that scarcely a year passed without deaths arising from the consumption of these adulterated articles. The largest consumption was amongst children, who were consequently the principal victims. He had purchased such confectionery at large and small shops, and he found very little difference between them. There was an enormous consumption of this coloured confectionery, and there had been a great increase since the diminution in the price of sugar. After some evidence on the adulteration of gin, the com- mittee adjourned till Wednesday next (to-morrow). THE MoDELs OF PARIS AND PERE LA CHAISE, it will be seen, are still on view in Old Postoffice-place. At the present time, when so many are availing themselves of the facilities aird other inducements held out to visit the French capital, an attentive study of these models must be generally useful. To those going to Paris it will greatly abridge their labour and increase their comfort by enabling them to understand the different localities which they will require to visit. To those who remain at home, it will increase the means of un- derstanding what is said to them of it by their more fortunate friends who have made the visit. STEALING FROM THE ADELPHI HOTEL.—On Saturday, Margaret Lewis, a middle-aged woman, was charged before the Police-court with stealing a large number of knives, forks, glasses, towels, and other articles, from the Adelphi Hotel. The officer stated that information had been given by Mr. Radley, of a number '4l articles having been stolen. The officer suspected the prisoner, who had been employed by Mr. Radley as a charwoman. He went to a house of bad character, in Dance-street, which was kept by the prisoner, and he there found a great number of articles, bearing the mark of the hotel. The prisoner did not deny the charge. She was sent to gaol for a month. It appeared that the woman had got into Mr. Radley's employ on the faith of a false character, she having passed herself off as a poor widow, anxious to work hard fora iving. She has a small annuity, derived from some property in Carnarvonshire. A MA.uret STORE DEALER IN TRODBLE.—On Saturday, Samuel Winter, a middle-aged man, who keeps a marine store in Sumner-street, was brought before the .Pdlice-court, for having about 701bs of metal beats, and a large quantity of composition (nails, for which he could not satisfactorily ac- ocount. The officer who had charge of the case stated that a boy, named] Johnson, who was an apprentice with Messrs. Humble and Grayson, of Neptune-street, had gone at various times to Mr. Marsden's in Argyle-staeet, with forged orders for nails and bolts, which were supposed to be for'his employers. It turned out, however, that the boy had sold about 31- cwt. of nails to marine store dealers. The boy's -employers did not wish to prosecute him, as he was a poor orphan, and had pro- missed to go to sea. But, as the boy had told-to whom he had sold some .of the nails, the officer went and searched the prisoner's premises. A•large quantity of nails and bolts were -found, of which no entries were made in his books ; and some of the property was found at the prisoner's private dwelling, in Gildart's Gardens.—After some comments by the magis- trate, a fine of 20s. and costs was inflicted; and his license *was ordered to be revoked. THE CHANGINGSOINES OF A POL/CE.,OFFICE.—A young -woman, raving mad, as conveyed'to the Salford Police-office, on Thursday, for safelteeping. She was a mother, and had an infant six weeks old. The cause of her derangement was the -enlistment intothe militia of the young man who was the father of the child. She was a Roman Catholic, and she called loudly and repeatedly for a -confessor. A priest was sent far, and, though it had previously required two men to hold her, whenieft alone'with him she was as quiet as possible. He remained with her a few minutes, and when he left the room she broke out again, and was as violent as ever. The child is .six weeks old, and as it 'had not been baptized, and is not likely to live, the priest proposed to baptize it. Water was accordingly sent for, and the ceremony was performed in the superintendent's office, in .the presence of the woman who cleans the police,office, and one or two women who had accom- panied the-lunatic to the station. In the course of the day the unfortunate creature and-her child were removed to 'the workhouse. Previous to this, however, an elderly man, who had for many years been a public servant, was conveyed to the police-station, prior to his removal, under the usual,certi- ficates, to the county - asylum at Prestwich. He was a reli- gious monomaniac. Later in the day some boys took to the office the body of a prematurely stillborn child, which they had found in the river; and the police would have to see to its interment, which would, probably, be effected with all the expedition consistent with .common decency.—Manchester Guardian. HEALTir COMMITTEE.—At the usual meeting, on Thurs- day, Mr. Dover presiding, the Medical Officer represented that the mortality of the borough was lower in the week ending on Saturday than in any week of the preceding twenty months. The total deaths were 170, the average of the same week of the preceding seven years 228.—A tender from George Ravenscroft for sewering Harrington-streei, Bell-street, Fisher-street, •&c., at a cost of £1039, was re- ferred ; a tender of Jame Jones for sewering Water-street and King-street-lane. West Derby, was accepted ; also a tender from John Hankin, for similar work in Fairdlough- lane.—ln accordance with ,a notice of motion previously given, Mr. Dover proposed an increase in the salary of Mr. Davies, the duty 'borough engineer. Mr. Beckwith saw no grounds for the proposed advance, and stated that in 1846 Mr. Davies had an advance to £2OO, in 1860 he was advanced to £3OO, and in 1853 to £350 per annum. Mr. Johnson moved that the salary of Mr. Davies be advanced to £4OO per annum. Mr. Beckwith would oppose it not only there but in the council. Same conversation took place, and after a suggestion that the subject be referred, the committee, without coming to a division, allowed the matter to drop.— The Law-clerk informed the committee that Sir Benjamin Hall had declined to proceed further with his Public Health Bill. With regard to the alleged encroachments by the Dock Committee at Wapping, he had forwarded to their secretary .a copy of the resolution passed •by the Health Committee, but had not received any official answer. Some desultory con- versation took place upon the subject. Mr. Halhead sug- gested a resolution referring•certain understood arrangements as to the land, &c., to the surveyor of the two trusts, but no decision was come to upon it.—This being the whole of the business, the Board adjourned. TEE DUKE of CAMBRIDGE is to be immediately appointed Generalissimo of the Foreign Legion. -Suictnn.—On Thursday afternoon, a gentleman named Thomas Wilson committed suicide, at Eastley's Hotel, South- ampton-street, Strand, London, by shooting himself with a pistol. A letter was found in the room, directed to Mr. David Wilson, Belfast ; which contained, also, a request that his portmanteau should be sent to Miss Wilson,Victoria-street, Belfast. INFRINGING THE LIBERTY OP THE SUBJECT.—A rag- gatherer,.about fifty-five years of age, on Friday threw himself into the Seine from the Pont d'Austerlitz. An octroi man, who happened to be on the towing-path, immediately plunged in and rescued him. The rag-gatherer, instead of thanking the man, was no sooner brought safe to land than he flew into a violent passion, and abused him grossly. " A pretty thing, indeed !" cried he, " not to allow a man to leave the world when and how he pleases ! And," he added, "I ought to be allowed to drown myself, for I have three times merited the guillotine !" CRUISING IN THE NEW ROYAL YACHT.—The Queen and Prince, accompanied by the King of the Belgians, the Count of Flanders, Princess Charlotte of Belgium, the Princess Royal, and the Princesses Alice and Helena, embarked at Osborne- pier on Thursday afternoon, for a cruise in the new Royal yacht Victoria and Albert. The course was round the Isle of Wight, which was accomplished in three hours and twenty minutes. The distance is about 62 nautical miles; the Royal yacht, for her tonnage, may therefore be considered the fastest vessel in England. The same evening, Her Majesty took a second cruise from Osborne round the Nab light-vessel, and back again. Mi7RDER AND MUTILATION OP A CHlLD.—Elizabeth Perkins, aged 28, has been committed for trial on the warrant of the coroner of Shrewsbury, charged with the wilful murder of her female infant. The evidence at the inquest was to the effect that the prisoner had lived as cook with Mr. Harding, manager of the business of Messrs. Redmaine and Co., mercers, Shrewsbury. The prisoner's sister was the chief witness; and from other evidence it was proved that the child had been cut into small pieces, and the remains had been found in the water- ,closet. The witness stated that she had not been aware of the condition of the prisoner, and that she attributed her appear- ance to dropsy. The surgeon stated that the prisoner had admitted the birth of the child, but said it had been born dead. In his opinion, however, this was not the ease. SALAD! VlNEGAR.—Eschalots, sweet savoury, chives, and tarragon, of each three ounces ; two tablespoonfuls of dried mint-leaves, and the same quantity of balm ; pound all these in a mortar, and put them into a stone jar holding a gallon of strong white wine vinegar, cork it down securely; let it stand for a couple of weeks exposed to the sun, strain it ofF, press as much as possible from the herbs, &c., and filter it through a flannel bag.

The Times' Crimean correspondent writes, on the 2nd of July,—" Since my communication of the 30th ult. the siege operations have tardily progressed in their severe, monotonous, and wearying routine." PARIS, MONDAY.—The Moniteur states, that the last de- spatch is dated July 14th, 10 p.m. It says that no change had taken place in the situation. St. Petersburg private letter's of the 7th, mention that Prince Gortschakoff has written to his government that, up to the 30th of June, he had received the greater part of his reinforcements, and that he expected the rest the Ist day of July. He is said to express the utmost confidence in the success of his efforts to defend Sebastopol. The revenue returns of France for the past six months of this year show an increase of 38,000,000 francs.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES. MANCHESTER.—This week we are without the slighest show of animation, and any disposition of manufacturers and Spinners to accept reduced quotations is only met by an offer, on the part of buyers, of still lower prices. The Greek houses have been purchasing yarns rather more freely, and the Ger- man houses who are exporters to the Mediterranean have also been busier ; but this demand has no further effect than to keep somewhat in check the too rapid accumulation of stocks. For India there is very little doing. Goods are equally dull with yarns, but prices are also so low that a further decline is resolutely resisted, more so even than in yarns.—Manches- ter Courier. ROCHDALE.—The demand for pieces continues good, and quite equal to the supply. There is little to report in the wool market except that the prices are upwards. LEEDS.—The markets at our Cloth Halls were fully as brisk as of late. The stocks are reduced lower than usual at this season, and prices are firm, with a tendency upwards. The mills continue to be pretty well employed. About an average quantity of goods has been sold in the warehouses, but the foreign trade continues languid. BRADFORD.—WOOI : Spinners having got into good work- ing stock are less anxious to purchase, and the business doing is only limited. Prices still rule firm.—Yarn :No alteration in prices, and the demand continues steady. Pieces : The beautiful weather gives a tone of confidence, and it is not impossible that the autumn trade may be an average one. NOTTINGHAM.—There is the usual lassitude in the condition of business which is almost invariably the case with the hosiery and lace trades at this season, and which generally prevails till about the end of next month or beginning-of September, as there is generally very little shipping business, and the home houses only buy small quantities to assist their stock,

OFFICIAL DESPATCHES. The following despatches from General Simpson will be read with more interest on account of their being the first he has transmitted since he assumed the chief command, than in con- sequence of the actual information conveyed by them :""••• BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, June 30. My Lord,—lt is with the deepest regret that I announce to your Lordship the death of Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, G.C.8., which melancholy event took place a little before nine o'clock on the evening of Thursday last, the 28th instant ; his Lordship expired without any suffering in the midst of the officers composing his personal staff. I have further to report that, being the next senior officer present, I have assumed the command of this army until instructions shall arrive from England.—l have, &c., JAMES Simrsoif, Lieat.-General Commanding. The Lord Panmure, &c. BEFORE SBBASTOPOL, June 30. My Lord,—ln this, my first military despatch, I am not aware that there is anything new or of consequence to report to your Lordship. As regards the progress of the siege there is no great opera- tion as yet determined upon, but we are employed in repairing •and improving our works, to be in readiness to co-operate with the French when their approaches towards the Malakhoff -shall be completed. The nominal returns of casualitierfrom the 25th to the 28th inst. are enclosed. • I am truly sorry to announce that Lieutenant General Sir (George Brown departed for England this morning on medical certificate. The 13th Light Infantry has arrived, and disembarked at Balaklava this morning. They will remain there for the present, to assist in the duties of the place, I have, &c., JAMES Sizreow, Lieutenant-General Commanding. The Lord Panmure, &c. The following telegraphic despatches have been received by Lord Panmure, from General Simpson : CRIMEA July 9. To-morrow I intend to open a heavy fire on the ledan. The health of the troops is satisfactory. Prince Gortschakoff proposes to me that we should exchange prisoners of war at Odessa. 'CRIMEA, July 11, 4.45 P.m.

The health of the army continues satisfactory. PARIS, Thursday, 8 A.K. The Moniteur announces that the last despatches received from the Crimea are dated the 10th of July, 2 p.m. General Pelissier writes as follows to the Minister of War:— " I have nothing new to announce to you to-day. The firing has been very brisk during the whole of the day between the English and the Great Redan. This evening that work is very silent, consequently our allies will be able to advance their works." The Moniteur publishes despatches from Admiral Penaud, from the Baltic. PARIS, Saturday, July 14, 8 a.m. The Moniteur publishes the following despatch from Gene- ral Pelissier : JULY 12, 11 p.m. According to the report of a deserter, Admiral Nachimoff was killed by a ball in the forehead yesterday morning, in the Central Bastion. We are consolidating ourselves in the new approaches. The construction of the batteries of Careening Bay is car- ried on with all the zeal which distinguishes our artillery. The Times has received the following telegraphic despatch from its Marseilles correspondent : MARSEILLES, July 14. The wire, which left Constantinople on the 6th inst., has arrived. Despatches leave at 8 p.m. The news from the Crimea is to the 4th. It was announced that 9A,000 Russians were advancing on Baidar. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

DOUBTY-.-SUICIDE AT NEW A considerable sensation has been created in,New York, by a case of double suicide, in which the victims were discovered sitting locked in each other's arms in an open balcony, and quite dead. The Sunday Courier of New York, -in narrating the circumstances of the case, says :—" The female came to New York in-Oct., 1849, her age then being eighteen years. She took board in a respectable boarding-hsuse, among the oc- cupants of which was a Mr% Merritt, whose husband keeps a shoe store in the Bowery, near Vauxhall Garden.. Her true name was Sarah Kirkland, and she then possessed so m.e money, and was regarded as a lady of irreproachable character. Her place of nativity is a little hamlet nine railes-from Liverpool, England, on. the Chester road. In an evil. hour she made the acquaintance of a youth about seventeen, residing in Brooklyn, but who,had the appearance of being mush older,an.d this ac- quaintance ripened into a close intimacy. She was delivered of a maleehild, which lived only about twelve months, when the seducer abandoning her and removing to the West, she was compelled to receive • miscellaneous• company for her support. A portion. of this time she was afflicted with St... Vitus' dance,. and was under the treatment of Dr. Robinson, at the Emigrant's- Home, on Staten Island-. About two yews- since, she either made the ac- quaintance of young Gustin, or, if he was -her seducer, he then returned, and a compact was made by them which unfortu- nately exists too frequently hi large cities. He became her lover passed his leisure-time with her, and was supported by the wages of her shame. On the afternoon. previous to the commission of the fatal deed, according!to the servant's state- mentXustin came to his father's house, andaskal his mother- ' how she would like him to bring home a wife with him that night ? ' The reply was .that he had better not. He then. returned to 130, Duane-street, and had a long interview with. thegirl. They seemed cheerful, but evidently acting under mental excitement. At ten o'clock, pan., she dressed herself carefully, and, taking the key of the apartment, presented it to Mrs. Harrison, remarking that she-was going home, and had, come to take a final leave of her, adding that she wished, her landlady to take possession of her wardrobe and effects. The woman, supposing, her to be joking, paid little attention to the matter, and the twain crossed that threshold for the last time.. They then, crossed the Fulton Ferry to Brooklyn, and rode up nearly to old Mr. Gustin's house. Here it is said, that they went together to the house and asked admittance. The reply was that he might„enter, but the girl could not. And then, appa- rently, the resolve which had: been culminating became a fixed determination. They started down Myrtle-avenue,, and pre- sently struck,into an obscure street. At half-past one o'cloek they were seen returning, he having in his hand.what probe- bly was the bottle of prussic acid. It was not labelled. Then they must have entered, the yard gate, passed. through the beautiful:garden to the-rose-covered/piazza, and there, seating themselyes noiselessly on a lounge covered with black leather, they doubtlessly partook hastily of the fatal. drug, and then, locked, in each °thee% arms, their spirits went hand-in-hand to him who gave them." The parents of the young man hav- ing sent his victim's body to the dead.house, the populace madea demonstration opposite their dwelling. THE STAR RETUBLIC BURNT AT SEA.,—The Star Republic, from New York to Galveston, was accidentally burnt when three days out. All hands saved. FIRE AT ST. PAUL'S, WALWORTII.—At an early hour on Friday morning a fire broke out at St. Paul's Church, Lori- more-square, Carter-street, Walworth. The fire was not extinguished until considerable damage was done to the roof of the vestry. COLLISION ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.--011 Friday morning, as the night mail train from Edinburgh was proceeding to London, at the rate of about forty miles an hour, on the Great Northern Railway, about a mile north of Don- caster, it came into collision with a coal :train which was running in the same direction, and a frightful concussion ensued, although, providentially, only two or three persons were hurt. PRINCE DANILO AND HIS BRIDE.—The Agram Gazette contains a letter from Cattaro, which states that a disagree- ment has arisen between Prince Danilo of Montenegro and his newly-married bride, of so serious a nature as to be likely to lead to a divorce. It is only three months since the mar- riage took place. The lady, whose union with the young savage caused much surprise at the time, is the daughter of a merchant at Trieste. _ - . EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.—A few days since, while one of the ordinary passenger trains was travelling from Bristol to Exeter, the guard, on returning to his box at one of the stations, found a parcel directed " E. Weller, Culmstock, to be left at the Cullompton Station till called for." On his way down a most offensive smell was emitted from it, and as he threw it out at the Cullompton Station, he remarked on the unpleasantness of its odour. In compliance with the directions, the bundle was placed in the office, but the smell became so bad that it was deposited in a horse-box, near the goods station. Here,towever, it became worse, and at last it was so bad that it was taken to the station master, and it was opened, when it was found to contain the body of a full-grown mail infant which was rapidly approaching a state of putre- faction. An inquest was held upon it, and the guard stated that he was unable to give any explanation as to how the parcel came into his box. Under these circumstances., the jury returned an open verdict,

Sallow Yankees, with straw hats, swallow- tailed coats, and pumps, carried their little all in their pockets ; and having: nothing to lose, and everything to gain in the western world to which they were bound, whittled, smoked, or chewed cheerfully. Hard-featured, bronzed miners, having spent their earnings in the bowling saloons at the Sault, were returning to the bowels of the earth gloomily. There were tourists in various costumes, doing the agreeable to the ladies ; and hardy pioneers of the oods, in flannel shirts, and trousers supported by leathern belts, and well supplied with bowies, were telling tough yarns, and astonishing the weak minds of the emigrants, who represented half the countries of Europe. —Blackwood's Magazine. FOLK LORE.—DEVONSIIIRE SUPERSTITIONS.—Days of the week;— "Born on a Sunday, a gentleman ; Monday, fair in face ; Tuesday, full of grace ; Wednesday, sour and glum ; Thursday, welcome home ; Friday, free in giving ; Saturday,work hard for your living." Tuesday and Wednesday are lucky days. Thursday has one lucky hour—namely, the hour before the sun rises. Friday is unlucky. It is very unlucky to turn a feather-bed on a Sun- day; my housemaid says she would not turn my bed on a Sunday on any account. " To sneeze on a Monday hastens anger ; Tuesday, kiss a stranger ; Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, give a gift ; Saturday, receive a gift ; Sunday, before you break your fast, You'll see your true love before a week's past." My informant cannot recollect the consequences of sneezing on Wednesday and Thursday. " Sneeze on Sunday morning fasting, You'll enjoy your own true love to everlasting." If you sneeze on a Saturday night after the candle is lighted, you will next see a stranger you never saw before.—A new moon seen over the right shoulder is lucky, over the left shoulder unlucky, and straight before prognosticates good luck to the end of the moon.—Hair and nails should always be cut during the waning of the moon.—Whatever you think of when you see a star shooting you are sure to have.—When you first see the new moon in the new year take your stocking off from one foot and run to the next stile ; when you get there, between the great toe and the next, you will find a hair, which will be the colour of your lover's.—When•you first see the new moon after' midsummei, go, to a stile, turn your back to it, and say— " All hail, new moon, all hail to thee ! I prithee, good moon, reveal to me This night who shall my true love be : Who he is, and what he wears, And what he does, all months and years." ESSENCE OF "PUNCH." A SHORT CUT TO METAPHYSICS.

A MORE THAN PROBABLE TURN.—You may depend upon it, there is something on the move, when our dear mother-in- law makes her appearance in the house about July or August; and sure enough the move is generally with her poor suffering daughter and ailing children in the direction of the seaside. .

A SHIP THAT OUGHT TO BE PITT UNDER A GLASS SHADE. —We see, and we never should have believed it unless we had seen it, that there is a transport of the name of the Earl of Aberdeen. The discovery fairly took us by surprise, as we did not know that in the English mind the name of ABERDEEN had ever given rise before to a single transport. PEACE AND WAR, BY LORD JOHN RUSSELL.—We under- stand that it is the intention of Lord John Russell's con- stituents to solicit him to sit, for a double portrait of Peace and War, to Sir Edwin Landseer. The noble lord, in imita- tion of the picture of Death and the Lady, will be duly divided. One half of him will appear in the uniform of a British Life Guardsman, and the other in the simple buttonless dress of an olive-bearing friend. Joseph Sturge himself has offered the loan of his drab and beaver. INFALLIBLE CURE FOR A. SHORT SIGHT.—The sudden ac- quisition of a large fortune is the best cure. It has been known to cure persons of short-sightedness in a minute, upon whom all other experiments had failed. It will bring a person (a poor relation, for instance) prominently forward, making him, and his merits even, eminently conspicuous, whereas both had previously been for years quite invisible to the naked eye. It extends one's views wonderfully ; and, strengthened with an aid of such wonderful power, the eye will carry to any dis- tance, and has actually been known before now to bring home a rich uncle all the way from India.

THE VOICE OF PUBLIC OPINION. IT was predicted, at the time of the discussions on he Reform Bill, that the first attempts to alter it would come from those who were most forward in asserting its completeness ; that, indeed, the principle of reform once admitted, it would know no end, but become an interminable succession of changes in our representative system. Nearly a quarter of a century has elapsed, and though little change has really been made in it, the immutability has not been from want of attempts on the part of the author of the measure. To such tampering with the principles of the Consti- tution, every Conservative—by which we may include clery true lover of his country---is sincerely opposed. If, however, eirrumcfnnopc rimhl afrord a jugilfiontion, and furnish a legitimate argument for another reform, by showing the manifold imperfections of the existing system, the present session of Parliament has been most successful in pronouncing its own condemnation. So far from the House of Commons being, as it is professed to be, and ought to be, an expression of the public intelligence---an echo of the aggregate of the public mind---the voice, indeed, of its numerous con- stituents, we might almost imagine that the majority of its members acted upon the rule of contrary, like froward children. If a proposal be made to bring forward any measure, to the details of which there may be fifty sound objections, but a few plausible reasons in its favour, the mover obtains a large majority for the first step, with, perhaps, as large a majority against any further progress, as though the real object were simply to discuss the schemes of ambitious legislators without bringing them to any result. The consequence of this love of discussion, irrespective of any fruits to arise from it, has been, and will continue to be, so long as such a course is persisted in, that the public interest is not served ; that the time intended for important concerns is positively wasted; that economy in the public expenditure, which ought to receive consider- able attention, is passed over, because the voting of the estimates is delayed until there is no time nor opportunity to discuss them ; and a session of Parlia- ment is brought to a close without anything to show as the fruits of its labours. This condition of affairs, however, bad as it may seem, is not the worst of the present House of Com- mons. Not only has it failed to perform the duties expected, but it has proved positively obstructive ; it has not only disappointed hopes, but excited contrary feelings. There can be no doubt that, from the commencement of the present war, the public feeling has largely predominated in favour of its being carried on with the utmost vigour, in order to ensure success ; that very great dissatisfaction has prevailed as to the mode in which affairs have been managed ; that Ministerial incapacity has been daily growing more evident; and that public indignation at the betrayal of its interests and disap- pointment of its hopes required some legitimate safety- valve through which it might receive expression. Under such circumstances, the meeting of Parliament was looked forward to with some anxiety, as being the constitutional channel through which opinions so widely entertained might be embodied in a declaration of the national will ; but the disappointment of this ex- pectation has been as signal as the desire was strong for its gratification. When the demand was made for an inquiry into the causes which had led to such frightful havoc in the Army engaged in the siege of Sebastopol, it was responded to by more than two- thirds of the House of Commons. There could be no mistake as to the necessity of such an inquiry, and the readiness with which it was granted not only satisfied the public for a time, but produced its immediate frui . _ in the breaking-up of the Coalition Cabinet, the defeat of its Peelite elements, which were supposed to con- stitute its worst features, and its re-construction on a Whig basis. So great an effort on the part of the House of Commons appears to have weakened, if not exhausted, its vitality for the rest of the session. In vain is it shown, by indisputable testimony, that much of the mismanagement forwhich the Peelites were over- thrown, continues to prevail ; that no adequate provi- sion is made for contingencies that are almost certain to arise ; that personal interest, instead of merit, forms the ground of promotion to offices of trust and respon- sibility; and that, with more professions, the present Government have shown themselves very little if any better than their immediate predecessors. As any vote of disapprobation might be supposed productive of active results, the members have shrunk from the exertion, and any discussion of the question, about which the public at large take so deep an interest, is is ended with no oller result than the moral effect

The House, which is a singularly neat, handsome, and most substantial Residence of the Tudor style, was built by the Pro- prietor about eight years since, on a bold and cheerful eminence sloping to the south, in the centre of the Property, and overlooking the far-famed Valley of the Wray. It comprises Breakfast, Dining, and Drawing Rooms, ten Bed Rooms; with all convenien, Offices, Stables, Coach-house, and every other building that a Gentleman can require in order to become a good farmer, or necessary for a Tenant; with walled and Kitchen Gardens. Its beautiful Park-like Grounds, studded Timber and Rookeries, with magnificent hanging woods and jutting Rocks, as seen from the House, impart at once to the spectator a most lively and enchant- ing appearance. It is perfectly sheltered from the northeast and west winds. The Turnpike Road from the north to the south of Devon, and its Watering Places, Torquay, Teignmouth, and Dawlisb, runs through the Estate;_ Game is plentiful, and woodcocks numerous in their season and the House may be constantly supplied at all times, when required, with rare trout from the streams and Ponds of the Estate; the Rivers Bovey and Teign, where fish abound, are within two and four miles. A Pack of Hounds is kept within three miles, which hunt regularly in the neighbourhood. The Scenery upon and immediately adjoining this delightful spot is very fine; it may be equalled, but not surpassed for beauty. To any Gentleman seeking a nice compact Freehold Estate, either for occupancy or investment, the present now about to be offered only requires to be seen to be duly appreciated. The crops of grass give positive proof of its quality, and its conge- niality for turnips and corn (if so preferred) is most proverbial in the district. The whole estate is in hand, and early possession may be had, if required. For viewing, apply to the Owner, residing at the House, where plans may be seen and particulars obtained. Plans may also be seen and particulars obtained of Mr. ROBERTS, Bookseller, No. 197, High street, Exeter; at the Place of Sale; at the Offices of the Time:, Law Tones, and Journal of Auctions, Essex House, Essex-street, Strand, London; of Messrs.

THE LIVERP THE NEW SHIP-BUILDING YARDS AT BIRKENHEAD.—Mr. John Laird has already commenced active operations at his new ship-building yard at Birkenhead, between the Woodside and Monks' Ferries. On Thursday he laid the keel to a small vessel, which was in " frame" the following day, and at which a gang of men were energetically at work. Mr. Laird's yard is more advanced than the others, but in a few months the whole of the works will be completed, and will form a most interesting scene of industry. THE NEW COLLECTOR OF THE CUSTOMS.—SamueI Price Edwards, Esq., late collector of the Customs at Dublin, has been appointed collector in the port of Liverpool, in the place of Elias Arnaud, Esq., who retires into private life, after hold- ing the responsible office of collector in this port for the long period of thirty-two years. We can only .hope that the new collector may discharge his duties in the same courteous and liberal spirit as his predecessor, and so earn the same feelings of public respect which will accompany Mr. Arnaud into his honourable retirement. How GOLD WATCHES Go AT THE RACES.—During the three days of the races last week, several gentlemen, more adventurous than prudent, were relieved of their gold watches, while enjoying the "sports of the turf." We have heard of two having been taken on Wednesday, and four upon Thurs- day:-: On the latter day a sagacious gentleman went into a booth and agreed to play a game at cards for £5. He pru- dently placed his watch on the table to note time. When the game was up the watch had disappeared, along with his companion. In an hour or two afterwards the owner of the watch met the individual who had taken it, and charged him with the robbery. He entreated the owner not to expose him, but to let them go into a booth close by, and he would give it up. Here, however, the fellow stated that he had not got the watch on him, but he would make a purchase of it, and gave the accuser £lO. The owner refused this, however, and sent out for a policeman. In the meantime a number of the sharper's friends crowded round the booth, and jostled so that he effected his escape.—la another case, where a gentle.. man reported that he had lost his watch, it was found by a police-officer on the ground close by. DISGRACEPVL TREATMENT OF TOWN MISSIONARIE?..— There are some men who have not the slightest degree of reverence or respect for those who labour in the Cause of religion, but iu a most disgraceful manner insult and annoy them. On Friday, on the racecourse at Aintree, an occur- rence took place which ought to draw down on those who committed the outrage condign punishment for their improper behaviour. Several of the Liverpool town missionaries, during the first two days of the races, had taken advantage of the immense concourse of people to circulate tracts, and to make remarks entirely uncontroversial in tendency. On Friday morning, at eleven o'clock, they were again pursuing their labours, when some parties, who bore the appearance of officials on the course, induced the police-officiers to attempt to remove them by force. The missionaries very properly refused to go, and the police did not interfere further in the matter. About two o'clock, however, a gang of men, who had no doubt been organised for the purpose, fell upon the mis- sionaries, threw two of them over the rails of the course, knocked down a third with a stone, and cut another on the temple very severely. The proceedings of the missionaries were of the most unobnoxious character possible. MAJOR GBEIG AND THE ORANGEMEN.—WiIIiam Harkness and James Hampton were brought up at the Police-court, on Friday, under thefollowing circumstances : —Police- officer Leahy stated that he was on duty the previous day in Wavertree-road, when he observed the prisoner Harkness coming over the bridge; he had an orange flag in his hand and was wearing an orange sash; they took him into custody, fearing a breach of the peace would be committed. In Paddington a mob col- lected, and he was assaulted; the prisoner Hampton wasin the mob, and he attempted to rescue the other prisoner.—Major Greig was in attendance in court, and said he was much pleased to bear testimony to the good conduct of the:Orange- men on the previous day. He had had communications with the officers of the Orange lodges, and he was assured by them that eVeFy measure wouldbe taken on their parts to preserve the peace of the town, and he had been informed that very stringent resolutions had'been passed in the lodges, with heavy fines attached, to any one offending. He was glad to say it had saved his men fromlong and harassing duties, which they would have had to undergo had it not been for -each precau- tions. Under these circumstances, he would recommend the prisoners to the merciful consideration of the bench, as he did not wish to press the charge against them.—Mr. Mansfield said it was evident there was no disposition on 'the part of the authorities to interfere with them, so long as they conducted themselves in a proper manner ; but they must be well aware that it was necessary for their own safety, as -well as that of others, that the quiet of the town should not be disturbed. LIVERPOOL AND BIRKENHEAD DOCK Bums.—The select committee appointed by the House of Lords to try the merits of the Birkenhead and Liverpool Docks (Trust Property of Birkenhead Dock Trustees) Bill, add the Liverpool Docks Bill, met in the Painted Chamber of the House of Lords, on Wednesday, the Marquis of Winchester in the chair. The other members of the committee were the Earl of Pontefract, Lord Colchester, Lord Faversham, and Lord Portman. Mr. Serjeant Wrangham opened the case for the first bill, which he explained to the committee as having been much considered in the House of Commons. The object of the bill was to enable the docks at Birkenhead and Liverpool to be united under one general manazement, a measure which would secure great public advantages in more respects than one. The learned sergeant went. at length into the arrangement which has been made for paying off the creditors of the Birkenhead. property.—Mr. Ewart, the ex-Deputy-Chairman of the Bir- kenhead Docks, Mr. Tollemache, M.P. for South Cheshire, and Captain Evans, Acting Conservator of the Mersey, gave evidence in support of the amalgamation, believing that it Ivould greatlylaenefit the trade and commerce of the country generally, and Liverpool, Lancashire, and Cheshire in particu- lar.—Evidencemas then put in as to the financial condition of the Birkenhead Dock Trust and the Birkenhead Dock Com- pany. This evidence was called for by Mr. James, Q.C., who, with other learned counsel, appeared for the opponents of the bill.; but similar evidence was given over and over again in the Commons,- and, therefore, it is unnecessary to repeat it. The opposition• came from Messrs. Gandy, -Bibby and others, who object ta the arrangement which give... set of c,editocrs a preference over the others. Mr; Edward James, Q.C., Mr. Johnson ml of the opk.o- nents.—The ease being closed for the promoters of the bill, Mr. Johnson addressed the committee for Mr. Gandy, con- tending that the bargain for the transfer of Birkenhead was a very bad one, and that his client ought to be relieved from its obligations. This closed the proceedings, as no witnesses were called by the opposers of the bill; and Mr. James, who appeared for Mr. Lawton, did not addressthe committee.

STREET PREACHING, ONE of the special characteristics of the. Christian mission was stated, by its Divine Founder, to be, that the Gospel I.Vii preached to the poiir ; acid, tliat she was the_" Church of the_ Poor," was once one of the chief glories of the Church of England. This character she earned by providing, through 'the bounty of her richer children, that in every parish in the land the. Gospel machinery should be brought home to each man's door, and that its ministry to him should not depend on his ability to pay for it. That the sacred labourer is worthy of his hire, is certainly a Christian principle ; but not that his labours should be placed on a level with secular employments, and the pecuniary support of the labourer calculated as a quid pro quo for the value of his services. It is impossible to travel through the parishes of England, without perceiving how strictly, in theory, the Church has acted upon this principle ; it is impos- sible to examine the lavish profuseness of her noble ecclesiastical foundations, without thankfully acknow- ledging how well she has fulfilled her Lord's mission in this particular. The darker side of the picture, however, remains for us, and for days of "peculiar Giiipel enlightenment." It is equally impossible to, see the parish churches, in their present desolation; or to walk through the districts of our towns, without being compelled to admit that the Church of England no longer in fact possesses this high character. With regard to many of her finest parish churches, given to the poor by the pious liberality of our ances- tors, they have been taken from them, and placed at the disposal of the richer classes, by the erection of I pews, _guarded_ doors and numbered as part of a rented property, belonging, for all uses, to - the person who rents them. In numberless' cases, where the most liberal endowments have been made for the frequent performance of divine ser- vice, and the maintenance of a sufficient body of clergy, these endowments have been stolen for the benefit of a lay impropriator, and barely enough left for the support of a single minister, the assistance of one of our charitable societies being, necessary to maintain a second. But these, we may say, were the crimes of an earlier generation. Let us ask, what we are doing- to extend the blessings of the unpurchased Gospel through the unprovided districts of our towns ?) Now, whatever we have done, or whatever we are doing, this is confessed on all sides, that the Church has not yet regained her hold upon the poor. Churches are rising around us, but they are not built for the poor. Eloquent proclamations of the Gospel ring in our ears on all sides, but the rich purchase them for themselves. Each man pays for his religion as for,t any other luxury, or: if you will, necessity, of his life. A preacher is " liked ;" a Church is built for him— that-is, a permanent investment is made for his mainte- nance ; his admirers appropriate its sittings, and they think their homage to religion has been paid. They rush in crowds to hang upon his accents, and think they must be very earnest followers of the Gospel. They listen, perhaps, to his denunciations of a corrupt religion, and flatter themselves that they are cham- pions for the purity of Christianity. They feed, or think they feed, from a plenteous table, and the pri- vilege of the poor is, that, perchance, they may gather up some of the crumbs which fall from the entertain- ment of their, betters. It is clear that popular reli- gion has not yet found out the way of carrying the Gospel in its integrity to the poor. " The poor will not come to Church I" Granted; But this is a strange complaint from you who do not build churches for the poor. This is a grave inconsis-, toney in your mouths who absolutely refuse to have churches built for the poor. This is but a vain lip lamentation from you who interfere with the inten- tions of earnest men with your miserable disputes and- factious accusations, while the poor perish around you, and, who yourselves do not take up the work, which you prevent others from doing, because you disagree with them on some point of doctrine or peculiarity of form. FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. MONDAY MORirING. TUB past has been a busy and a bustling week in all those plades "where politicians most do congregate." The Clubs have exhibited an amount of commotion akin to that which apiarists inform us takes place in a bee-hive, when the ento- mological republic, having become too hot to hold its ru;enabers, is Involved the anarchy of a revolutionary movement which ends only with the. death or extrusion of one of the contending hosts. • The Houk of Commons has been convulsed in all its points, the galleries and division lobbies sharing in the agita-- tion ; nay more, the Council Chamber itself has once more been the scene of those amiable contentions which some months ago were of such frequent occurrence; and which were intimated to the outer world by the mysterious announce- ment that " Ministers remained in close deliberation for up- wards of three hours." A declaration which those pretending to be in the secret interpreted into a confession that Ministers have been in hot and violent altercation for the time specified, and that in most cases it conveyed to the Ministerial hangers-on intelligence of a similarly pleasing character to that-communi- cated to an anxious ship's crew, when, during the night, they are assailed by th es udden and alarming cry of "breakers a-head." Every one felt assured of an impending crisis, from the ominous Parliamentary conclusion of the preceding week, which was, wound up by the melancholy display of Lord JOHN RUSSELL in his frequently enacted character of the Double-dealer. Consequent on the discreditable disclosures made by his Lordship in the House on the evening of Friday se'nnight,.and which, besides the condemnation of friends- ands foes in that august assembly, drew down upon his devoted` ~head the unmitigated indignation of the country,- Sir-E. B, LYTTON gave notice on Tuesday night of a motion to the effect, " That the conduct of the Minister charged with the- negotiations at Vienna, and his continuance in office as Di responsible adviser of the Crown, have shaken the confidence- which the country should place in those to whom the adminis.;- tration of public affairs is entrusted." The intimation of a motion so pointedly in unison with popular feeling, yet withal so temperately expressed, and so extensively sympathised in by the House of Commons, as well as by their constituents, 'Teas the first thing which appears to have created alarm for the safety of their places in the ministerial mind. To gain time for a consideration of the defensible points of the position, was. the first object clutched at—to secure the uncertain support of • waverers—and to enlist the Irish Brigade, or, as they delight to call themselves,the cohort of "fifty independent votes," was the next, move, and both of these "dodges" were played off with a skill and hardihood which could only have been ac- quired by extensive and frequent practice. The motion is to decide the important question whether the nation will tolerate the continuance in office of a minister who entertains, or at least professes a public and a private opinion, diametrically opposed to each other on so important a point as the continu- ance of war, or the couchisiou of peace unl by implicat-luu whether his colleagues, who were cognizant of these discre- pant views, and continued to act in concert with him, are not as bad and as untrustworthy as he is. Such a motioa is a matter of no trivial moment. It broadly impugns the honour of one member, and touches nearly, the reputation of an the cabinet ; and it is brought forward in no petulant spirit ; . nor is it tabled by an intriguer for place. A motion so pregnant with consequences is one which no ministry can lie under and retain any function of utility. So long as the accusations it But we may yet find opportunity to expound our idea of the causes of this fact which stares us in the face, viz., that the Church has lost her hold upon the poor ; and also of the remedies which the case demands. At present we are pressed with one mode of remedy =which has regained of late the prominence it had lost, and which has occupied much local attention during the last few days. We took occasion, some time since, to allude to the advisability, in the "present distress," of street preach- ing, conducted with caution and judgment. And the philosophy, if we may so employ the term, of street :preaching, we appiehend to be this : that it should be used only as a preparation to the direct agency of the Church. We must not have Christianity expounded at the corners of our streets and in the market place as a mere school of ethics, or system of doctrines which each man may adequately realise, and then be left to himself. Street preaching is a mere endeavour to startle into inquiry the careless and profligate, to Argil e from inner experience of some mysterious power ‘of el/awhich tyrannises.over their inner man, and crushes every better aspiration -to the need in which they stand of a deliverance, -to 'the importance of the Tad- that a- Deliverer has come upon earth, and -that if they are willing they may be brought within the scope of that " Mighty power whereby He is able to subdue all things unto Himself." If the example of the Apostles be adduced for street preach- ing, from the naked fact that they did preach in the highways and thoroughfares, it must be followed to s issue. With them Christianity was not merely the hearing and believing of certain doctrines, but the induction into a community; and of those who ac- cepted their teaching it was recorded that the LORD added them to the Church, and that they continued steadfastly in the Apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers. Street preaching, therefore, must not be adopted as a substitute for building churches, and setting up the full machinery of the Gospel. It must be used as a mere check to the everyday course of blind wicked- ness travelled by the besotted thousands who are 'perishing for lack of knowledge. It is not the remedy for their ills, but it is to inform them of their need of a remedy, and to induce them to turn aside from the way of their wickedness to the messenger whom CIERIST has commissioned on earth to lead their foot- implies are unrebutted, the -moral hafluence.of• the Cabinet is annihilated ; and, under these circumstances, the course of action open to a man of spirit, or of a ministry which covetted power merely that it might serve the country, is to meet: and if possible to disprove the accusations. To such a course of behaviour the PA-LMERSTON administration makes no pretence. Instead of offering facilities for bringing_the question to im- mediate issue, the PnE:utzu treats the subject with his cus- tomary- levity, -and when asked if it• would be- convenient to take the discussion on this very important motion on Fri- day, the day usually set apart for questions of supply, he an- swered snappishly that Friday was - set apart for discussing " The New Partnerships Bill" and- the "Limited Liability Bill." Two topics peculiarly appositeto the ricketty condition of the Cabinet, without doubt, but still not of a sufficiently important nature to take preference of one which, by its moral influence, paralysed the whole functions of Government at a juncture of the national affairs when united counsels and com- bined energies are indispensable to the safety of the State. The unbecoming facetiousness of the noble, PREMIER was so pointedly rebuked by Mr. DISRAELI, that for once Lord PAL- MERSTON was checked "dead up," and with an assumed ale- of indifference he agreed to peril the existence of the Adminis- tration on the issue of the motion this evening, In the mea n time, however, all the manoeuvres of party tactics had befm pressed into the service of the impeached Ministry. Concsas- sions had been made to a deputation of the "Brass Band," by which it was hoped to secure their aid in the event of a close conteit.- Other means also were not neglected, and rumours were industriously circulated by and among the Ministerial underlings to the effect that, like. Cvaxxus of old, Lord Joni would plunge into the gulf which, unless propitiated by a sacrifice of that description, would assuredly swallow up the whole Cabinet. The magnanimity of the proposed self- immolation was praised in his lordship's hearing, amidst strong: expressions of regret for the necessity of the sacrifice. Still his lordship made no sign. Other hints were thrown out as to the necessity of providing a Cabinet Jo/flu, who by being .thrown overboard might still the raging waters which threatened to engulf the ministerial barque. But still Lord Join{ gave small show of understanding; and he who was so sensitively prompt with his resignation on a recent occasion, which merely threatened to unship his colleagues, could not be made to budge when another set of colleagues would by hi.s resignation obtain a chance of rescue from impending ship- wreck. More desperate expedients were resorted to, expedients of so disreputable a kind as hardly to meet with, belief. In reference to the position in which he was placed, the Daily New& says :—" He was ready to stand the brunt of the threatened assault and to abide the consequences. Not so the• men by whom he had been surrounded. Scared at the sound: of the rising storm of popular indignation, and solicitous only for the retention of power—men who six weeks ago were. ready to acquiesce without hesitation in the proposal of com- prothise with Russia suggested by Count BvoL, have not been ashamed to join in forcing Lord Joan to tender his resignation _ _ steps to the cross. to the he ad of the government. Through every rank and grade- It was with this idea that, in our previous remarks of the party, efforts have been made to further this design. The on the agency of street preaching, we recommended pride of the SECRETARY for the COLONIES having been stung this mode, of its employment, namely, that a district into making the offer we have mentioned, resort was had to the respectable and high•spirited, device of a round robin should be marked out and appropriated to a particular addressed to Lord PALMERSTON, urging him to accept the pastor with his assistants ; and that these clergy resignation. This document was actually hawked about the should undertake the public invitation of the people precincts and passages of the House of Commons during the committed to their charge--that, having built up ,a sitting of the—House, yesterday -(Thursday), and while the living Church, a school-room or temporary building two noble lords continued to occupy their usual seats, side having been used in the meanwhile, a material temple by side, upon the Treasury bench. We are unwilling to state how many names of men calling themselves Whigs are of the Lord should rise in their midst; built fcir them, appended to it ; but, we believe, we may venture to say, that perhaps partially built by them, made theirs, that therebukes which its authors encountered from the manly they might hereafter enjoy the blessings which they and-independent had learnt amid many difficulties to feel their want of for sailors in a mutiny on shipboard, served to convince them and to appreciate. that their clumsy device is one too shameless even for the 'Without, therefore, arguing it on the ground of present House of Commons." The reader who cons over the ecclesiastical order,---which, if there he such a thing as above, and reflects on some of the recent moves of Lord order, must be at once decisive against one pastor's JoaN himself, will be involuntarily impelled to put the Whig party in the.position of SnrLocK, and make it, in the language preaching in the parish of another without thitt' it will be at once apparent what view ofthat worthy;. • exclaim to his lordship, " The villauy you other's consent-7 teach me I will execute ; .and it shall go hard but I will we take of the- scheme set on foot by the Rev. Dr. better the- instruction." Whether they made so plain a 11`NEILE, of preaching on the Exchange Flags. If declaration or not, they seem to have acted on the maxim. the object of street preaching be what we have supposed, They do not, however, appear to have perilled their case that must beaver inadequate mode of conducting entirely on those means of accomplishing their purpose, strong y, and disreputable as those means were. The Times am : it, by which it is turned into a mere advertised attrac• «@ members of the government in the House of Co=ons tion for novelty-hunters and personal admirers. To select a respectable area in the middle of the counting- houses and business resorts of the merchants and middle classes, and invite those who may choose for some motive or other to come, is not carrying the Gospel to the hovels of the poor. This is not going out into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring- ing in the poor; and 'the niaimed,-and thatalt, and" blind; it is not going into the highways and hedges, and compelling them to some.in. Dr. 31`NEILE may_ say that, without wishing his plan to be followed in every- respect, his intention is merely to make the practice of open-air preaching respectable for his less known brethren. But is the example of so pleasant a mode of its performance likely to incite them to the endurance of its harsher and heavier inflictions ? Will they be induced ; by this display with a flourish of trumpets, and a flattering audience drawn from all parts of the town, to plod on in unknown paths, where no admiring eye can cheer, where notoriety cannot tickle vanity, and excitement carries with it no charm ? No. They will strive to escape the disa- greeables of their duty ; and their work will fail through a disregard of that great law alike of morals and of religion, that no permanent good is ever done in this world but through self-denial and suffering. Really, if the Rev. Doctor wishes to set an effective example; he will in future confine himself to his own district and, giving him credit for the best intentions, we do not think it necessary to say more at present on the subject.

WIDOWS OF GENERAL STRANGWAYS AND ADMIRAL BOXER : KINDNESS Or THE QuEEN.—We are quite sure every one of our readers will hear with satisfaction that the Queen has given apartments •in Hampton-court to the widows of General Strangways and Admiral Boxer. The favour is not a slight one, for the accommodation at Hampton- court is not very extensive, as compared with the number of applicants. The Queen must have been compelled to turn a deaf ear to many a solicitation, pressed upon her with all the importunities court favour pbrmits, in order that she might do an act of kindness and of justice to the widows of the two brave officers who had lost their lives in their country's cause. —Times. THE ANTIQUITIES OF THE KERTCEE MUSEUM.—The Moniteur publishes a despatch from Vice-Admiral Bruat, dated on board the Montebello, 25th of June, stating that, after the pillage of the Kertch Museum by the Tartar popu- lation, and by marauders of the three armies, more especially by Turks, some urns and basso-relievos had been sent on board the Pomone by the commander of the Phlegeton. Ad- miral Bruat requests instructions as to what he is to do with these objects, which are of little value. The chief objects of antiquity and the medals had been sent long since to St. Pe- tersburg, and the Admiral states that he does not think science had much_to regret in the damage done to the Kertch Mu- seum,—a, damage naturally exaggerated by the Russian_ journals, THE LONDON GAZETTE.

THE NEW SHIP-11IIILDING YARDS AT BIRKENHEAD.--Mr. John Laird has already commenced active operations at his new ship-building yard at Birkenhead, between the Woodside and Monks' Ferries. On Thursday he laid the keel to a small vessel, which was in " frame" the following day, and at which a gang of men were energetically at work. Mr. Laird's yard is more advanced than the others, but in a few months the whole of the works will be completed, and will form a most interesting scene of industry. THE NEW COLLECTOR OF THE CITSTOMS.—SamneI Price Edwards, Esq., late collector of the Customs at Dublin, has been appointed collector in the port of Liverpool, in the place of Elias Arnaud, Esq., who retires into private life, after hold- ing the responsible office of collector in this port for the long period of thirty-two years. We can only hope that the new collector may discharge his duties in the same courteous and liberal spirit as his predecessor, and so earn the same feelings of public respect which will accompany Mr. Arnaud into bis honourable retirement. How GOLD WATCHES Go AT THE RACES.—During the three days of the races last week, several gentlemen, more adventurous than prudent, were relieved of their gold watches, while enjoying the "sports of the turf." We have heard Of two having been taken on Wednesday, and four upon Thurs- day. On the latter day a sagacious gentleman went into a booth and agreed to play a game at cards for £5. He pru- dently placed his watch on the table to note time. When the game was up the watch had disappeaFed, along with his companion. In an hour or two afterwards the owner of the watch met the individual who had taken it, and charged him with the robbery. He entreated the owner not to expose him, but to let them go into a booth close by, and be would give it up. Here, however, the fellow stated that he had not got the watch on him, but he would make a purchase of it, and gave the accuser £lO. The owner refused this, however, and sent out for a policeman. In the meantime a number of the sharper's friends crowded round the booth, and jostled so that he effected his escape.—ln another case, where a gentle- man reported that he had lost his watch, it was found by a police-officer on the ground close by. DISGRA.CEFITL TREATMENT OF TOWN MISSIONARIES.— There are some men who have not the slightest degree of reverence or respect for those who labour m the cause of religion, but in a most disgraceful manner insult and annoy them. On Friday, on the racecourse at Aintree, an occur- rence took place which ought to draw down on those who committed the outrage condign punishment for their improper behaviour, Several of the Liverpool town missionaries, during the first two days of the races, had taken advantage of the immense concourse of people to circulate tracts, and to make remarks entirely uncontroversial in tendency. On Friday morning, at eleven o'clock, they were again pursuing their labours, when some parties, who bore the appearance of offidals on the course, induced the police-officiers to attempt to remove them by force. The missionaries very properly refused to go, and the police did not interfere further 'in 'the matter. About two o'clock,however, a gang of men, who had no doubt been organised for the purpose, fell upon the mis- sionaries, threw two of them over the rails of the course, knocked a third with a stone, and cut another on the temple very severely. The proceedings of the missionaries were of the most unobnoxious character possible. MAJOR GREW AND TEE ORANGEMEN.—WiIIiam Harkness and James Hampton were brought up at the Police-court, on Friday, under the following circumstances,: dilicerLeahy stated that he was on duty the previous dayin Wavertree-road, when he observed the prisoner Harkness coming over the bridge; be had an orange flag in his hand and was wearing an orange sash; they took him into custody fearing a breach of the peace would be committed. In Paddingiton a mob col- lected, and he was assaulted; the prisoner Hampton was in the mob, and he Attempted to rescue the other prisoner.—Major Greig was in :attendance in court, and -said he was much pleased to bear testimony to the geed•conduct of the Orange- men on the previous day. He had had 'Communications with the officers of 'the Orange Lodges, andle was assured by them that every measure would be taken on their parts to preserve the peace Of tie town, and he had been informed that very stringent=resolutions had been passedin'the lodges, with heavy fines attached, to any one offending. He was glad to say 'it had saved his men from long and harassing duties, which they wouldhave had to undergo hadit:not been for such prestu- tions. Under these circumstances,'hntwould recommend 'the prisoners to the merciful consideratioa of the bench, as hedid not wish to press the charge •against them.—Mr. Mansfield said lt'was evident there was no disposition on the part'of the authorities to interfere with them, so long as they conducted themsilves in a proper manner.; but they must be well aware thatit.was necessary for their own-safety, as well •las 'that of others, that the quiet of the town should not be disturbed. LIVELIXOOL AND BIJOU/MEI:AD DOCK BILLS.—The select committee appointed by the House of Lords to try the merits of the arkenhead and Liverpool Docks (Trust Property of Birkenhead Dock Trustees) Bill, and the Liverpool Docks Bill,• met in the Painted Chaniber of the House of Lords, on Wednesday, the Marquis of 'Winchester in the ,thair. The other members of the committee were the Earl of Pontefract, Lord. Colchester, Lord Faveraham, and Lord .Portman. Mr. Serjeant Wrangham opened the case for the first bill, which he explained to the committee as having been mach considered in the House of Commons. The object of the balms to enable the docks at Birkenhead and Liverpool to be 'united under onegeneral management, a, meastre which wotild secure great public advantages in more respects than one. The learned sergeant went at length ,into the arrangement which has been =made for paying off Ihe creditors of the Birkenhead property.—Mr. Ewart, the .tx-Depnty-Chainnan of the Bir- kenhead Docks, Mr. Tollemache, M.P. for South Cheshire, and '4Daptain. Evans, Acting Conservator of the Mersey, gave evidence in support of the amalgamation, believing that it would greatly benefit the trade and commerce of the country generally, and Liverpool, Lancashire, and Cheshire in particu- lar.—:Evidence was then put in as to the financial condition Of the Birkenhead Dock Trust and the Birkenhead Dock Com- pany. This evidence was called for by Mr. James, Q.C., who, with other learned counsel, appeared for the opponents- of the bill ; but similar evidence•was given over and over again in the Commons, and, therefore, it is unnecessary to repeat it. The opposition came from Messrs. Gandy, Bibby and others, who object to the arrangement which gives one set a creditors a preference over the others. Mr. Edward James, Q.C., Mr. Johnson., and Mr. Forshaw, were heard on behalf of the oppo- nonts.—The case being closed for the promoters of the bill, Mr.. Johnson addressed the -committee for Mr. Gandy, con- tending that the bargain for-the transfer of Birkenhead• was .very bad one, and that his,elient ought to be relieved from its obligations. This closed-the proceedings, as no witnesses were called by the opposers of the bill ; and Mr. James, %Who appeared for Mr. Lawton, did not address,the committee.

WEDN ESDAY. On the motion of Mr. WALPOLE, after considerable dis- cussion, it was agreed that Baron Lionel De Rothschild be at liberty to appear by his counsel and agents, before the select committee on the London writ. _ _ _ Some discussion took place on the Scotch Education Bill, in the course of which the LORD ADVOCATE intimated his conviction that the bill could not pass this session. CRURCII RATES' ABOLITION BILL.—On the order of the day for going into committee on this bill being read, Mr. FOLLETT moved that it be committed that day three months. In doing so, he said, the object of this measure was, in his opinion, to make it the first and main step towards the des- truction of the Established Church in this country, and to alter our institutions in a manner prejudicial to the political as well as religious liberties of the people. He adverted to what he considered to be the extraordinary conduct of the government upon this question, especially that of Lord J. Russell ; and read declarations made by Dissenters, showing that the real and even avowed motive of their hostility to church-rates was hostility to the Established Church. He defended the principle of an Establishment, and maintained that anything affecting the stability of the Church of England, which had not failed in its duties and its obligations, would be an unmitigated evil.—The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed that the house having already affirmed the principle of the bill, and it being im- possible to believe that the abolition of church-rates was more than a question of time, the wisest course was to discuss its provisions in committee, embracing the opportunity it offered of settling the question, and of putting an end to an annual agitation and constant strife and discord.—Lord J. MANNERS asked how it came to pass, if there was any justice in the denunciations of the Attorney-General, that the government had refused to legislate upon the subject, and that Sir Alexander himself had not proposed a remedy? The grievance complained of by the dissenters was, that church-rates were a burden upon their conscience ; but the bill, from its preamble to its close, had not a single provision with reference to that grievance. The proper mode of relieving the con- science of dissenters in this particular was to exempt them from the rate, and he would support such a proposition, which had been made, but, when made, had been resisted by supporters of this bill, which imposed a new tax upon churchmen in the shape of pew rents.—Sir W. SOMERVILLE expressed himself in favour of proceeding with the bill; as did also Mr. E. BALL and Mr. C. FOSTER.—Mr. R. PIIILLIMORE, Mr. WIGRAM, Mr. G. VERNON, and Mr. GUR- NEY expressed themselves in opposition to the bill; when Mr, BENTINCE, adverting to the fact that there was not a single member of the Cabinet present, moved that the debate be ad- journed. This led to a discussion, in which the adjournment of the debate was opposed by Mr. COWPER, Sir W. CLAY, and Lord EBRINGTON, and supported by Mr. SPOONER, Mr. MOWBRAY, and Mr. L. DAVIES ; upon a division, it was nega- tived by 175 to 118. The debate was then resumed by Mr. L. DAVIES, who continued his address till the hour for ad- journment arrived. The debate was therefore adjourned till next day, and the House rose at ten minutes before seven.

Ad- Miral Bruat requests instructions as to what he is to do with these objects, which are of little value. The chief objects of antiquity and the medals' had been sent long since to St. Pe- tersburg, and the Admiral states that he does not think science had much to regret in the damage done to the Kertch Mu- !eum,—a damage naturally exaggerated by the.

CHIEF OFFICES-LEICESTER-BUILDINGS, 27, KING-STREET, LIVERPOOL PATRONS AND SUPPORTERS THE MERCHANTS AND SHIPOWNERS OF LIVERPOOL. Liverpool being now the first port of embarha- tion in the world, it has been thought advisable to p 4), establish a company for the express purpose of giv- ,4,l ing the intending emigrant to the British Colonies in .‘ . Australia and Canada, and to the United States of America (but more especially to Australia), such gratuitous in- formation as is requisite to obtain a cheap and agreeable voyage, and to promote his safety and success on his arrival. To this end a regular register will be kept at the Company's Offices of all Emigrant Ships of character leaving Liverpool, to- gether with the correct time of sailing, the scale of charge, &c., hnd The latest time for the emigrant leaving his home. Another register will contain a list of respectable hotels and lodging-houses, with their scale of charges, and the addresses of tradesmen from whom the emigrant may obtain his outfit of ne- cessary articles at moderate prices. As none but ships, hotels, and tradesmen of undoubted cha- racter can obtain an entry on the Company's Register, it is con- fidently and earnestly hoped that the emigrant will firmly with- stand every attempt through other means to induce him to engage his passage, or pay a deposit, before his arrival at the Company's Offices in Liverpool, where he is certain to gain that knowledge, free of charge, which will effectually shield him against the impo- sitions to which he is unavoidably exposed. Emigrants should give the company a week's notice at least of the time of their departure for Liverpool, and their mode of tra- velling, when its servants will be in attendance to receive them and their luggage. As the company is supported by its patrons, no servant is al- lowed to receive fees of any kind on pain of dismissal. Attendance at the Chief Offices, Liverpool, from Ten to Five daily. All applications attended to gratuitously. Letters per post, with postage stamp enclosed, must be addressed to " The Secretary of the Emigrants' Advice and Protection Company, Liverpool." W. WHITEHOUSE, Secretary.

DICKINSON, our respected townsman, has been chosen President of the Lancashire and Cheshire Branch of the Pro- vincial Medical and Surgical Association.

SALE OF THE LIVERPOOL, CROSBY, AND SOUTHPORT RAILWAY.—The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway proprie- tors, at a meeting on Thursday, confirmed the agreement for the purchase of the Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport line, by a majority of 5,327 votes. FATAL ACCIDENT ON BOARD SHIP.-01.1 Thursday, a boy, named Regan, was employed to store some coals on board a ship in the Victoria Dock ; and when lifting up one of the hatches, he by some means slipped and fell upon some casks in the hold, receiving such injuries as caused his death in little more than an hour. CRICKET MATCH AT BIRKENHEAD.—On Thursday evening, a cricket match was concluded between the second eleven of the Olympus Club (Prince's-park), and the first eleven of the Birkenhead Victoria. There was some " hard hitting" on both sides. The Victoria won, with five wickets to spare. FINE ARvs.—A very choice and valuable collection of about three hundred oil and water colour paintings, the property of Messrs. Agnew and Son, of Manchester, has been opened for exhibition at the Old Police-office, High-street. The collec- tion includes the productions of the first men in the English and French schools of art.

Special permission was obtained to use the fine ground of the Bootle Club. The wickets were pitched at half-past four o'clock, and the game terminated in favour of the Derby Club, by six wickets to go down. The playing on both sides was spirited, although the scoring did not run vety high. THE TRIAL TRIP OF THE LABVAN took place on Wed- nesday, and was attended with highly satisfactory results, the speed attained being about eight knots an hour. The Labuan is an iron vessel of tubular construction, the sides curved round so as to form the deck ; and her double bottom will permit her to carry water ballast. She is intended for the coal trade of the Eastern Archipelago, and was built by Messrs.

STEALING MARKED MONEY.—At the Police-court, on Friday, John Smith, a yard-keeper in the employ of -Messrs. Humble, Grayson, and Co., Regent-road, was charged with stealing various sums of money belonging to his employers. The prisoner lived under the office, and the cash-keeper having missed various sums of money, he marked several pieces of gold coin ou Thursday, and left them in hiS drawer. He then went out, and on his return he found that several sovereigns and half-sovereigns had been stolen. The prisoner was taken into custody at his house, with several pieces of marked money in'his possession. He was committed for trial. THE CORPORATION BATHS AND WASHOITSRS—We learn. that these establiShments are in a most flourishing condition. The great demand 'for the accommodation they afford is a proof that the public ftilly appreciate the benefits which the libera- lity of the towntouncil and the exertions of the baths com- mittee have placed within the reach of all. Dniinglast week the number of bathers at Cornwallis-street was '6,238, at the Pier-head 3,521, and at Panl-Street 2,657, being nearly double the number of bathers for-the corresponding-week of last year. At the washhouses the number of persons who attended during the week was 243 at Paul-street, and 290 at Frederick-street All classes seem equally desirous of enjoying the baths. DEATH oF 'MR. JOHN NELSON WoOD.—This gentleman, who for many Tears carried on business as- a merchant and shipowner, in Liverpool, expired at four 'o'clock on Thursday morning, at his residence, Oaklands, Rock Ferry, Cheshire. Mr. Wood was born in the town of Maryport, Cumberland, and was 63 years of age. For ten or eleven days preceding his death he was confined 'to his bed, and for some time previous his health was declining. The deceased was for a number of years a member of the Liverpool ,corporation, from which he retired in November, 1853; when:the term for which he could serve 'as alderman without being .re-elected expired according to the Municipal Act. Up to the time of his death he was chairman of the pilots' committee,- an office which he held for a considerable period. He was also for some years a member of the dock committee. Besides serving the public in these capacities, Mr. Wood was a warm-supporter of various charitable institutions of the town. He was for 30 years con- nected with • the management of the Sailors' Hospital, an institution,whiclx merged in the Sailors' 'Home, and -during the latter portion of that time he held the -office of chairman of the committee. AN OLD OFFENDER.—A young woman, -named Elizabeth Rimier, about 23 years of age, of prepossessing appearance, was charged at the Police-court, on Wednesday, under the following circumstances :—She came out of Kirkdale Gaol on Monday, after serving three months' imprisonment for imposing upon parties in the neighbourhood of Bootle, by re- presenting herself as a distressed daughter of more than one celebrated deceased person. The police, having other charges against her,-she was re-arrested. It appeared that, on the 7th March, She called to consult Mr. 7. P. Harris, surgeon, Clarence-street, and was shown into the -surgery. While there she contrived to abstract a case of surgical instruments, and also -the contents or managed to pawn with Mr. Little, of Brownlow-hill, by a plausible story about a distressed father. A day or two after that she obtained a situation as servant with Mrs. Nicholson, of Harford-street. There she stole a -.purse, containing £4 17s ed., 'inadvertently left on the kitchen table, and de- camped. She was remanded for a week in erder to complete evidence in some other charges against her. There are some singular circumstances connected with this young woman. In 1852 a great sensation was created in this town by her mother and aunt being tried on a charge .of attempting to poison her, because she would not consent to-support them by prostituting herself. They were convicted -and sentenced to death, but subsequent inquiries into the character of their accuser led to a doubt of their guilt, and they were pardoned. WEST DEBBY GUARDIABI3.—The weekly meeting was held on Wednesday, when the balance in hand was found to be £329 12s. Bd. Cheques were drawn for out-door relief, &c., to the amount of £385 3s. Bd. The report received from the Visiting Committee upon the subject of the treatment of luna- tics in the Workhouse, together with Dr..Nevins' report thereon, were received and adopted, and copies were ordered to be forwarded to the Poor-law Board. The-clerk was re- quested to furnish a statement of the aggregate number of rate-payers in the 22 townships comprising the West Derby Union, with the valuation of property, and total amount of assessments. Mr. -ii. B. Reid, surgeon, Bootle-cum-Linacre, one of the medical officers of the union, having made a com- plaint to the Poor-law Board that, during the late-visitation of cholera, he had only been allowed 18s. 9d. per week for his extra services, instead, of three guineas, which he considered a very moderate chargefor a professional gentleman at such a dangerous time, and the Poor-law Board having written to the guardians of the union, -inclosing a copy of Mr. Reid's letter, and requesting to be 'furnished with any observations the guardians might make upon it, it was resolved that the clerk do inform the Poor-law Board they consider the amounts ample. The number of -paupers relieved in the Workhouse last week was 701, being an increase of 76 on the correspond- -lug week in last year. The number of paupers who received .out-door relief was as follows, namely :—Able-b0died,.7.76 ; not able-bodied, 890 ; children, 1,818: total, 3,484, showing an increase of 208 on the corresponding week in last half- year. The amount expended in out-relief was £211,75. Bd. THE ORANGEMEN AND THE TWELFTH Or JULY.—On Thursday, the members of the different Orange lodges., in Liverpool, walked in procession 4n honour of the 12th of uly. Having been forbidden to assemble within the precincts of the borough, they, by previous arrangement, agreed upon Wavertree being their head place of meeting. About half- past eight o'clock in the morning the various lodges, accom- panied by their bands of music, began to assemble at Waver- tree-bridge. From this point they tcok the route of Brook- house, Smithdown-lane, where the met the different members belonging to the southern division of the town. The various lodges having been placed in order, they moved in procession towards Gateacre, Woolton, and Childwall, and about half-past one o'clock the entire body returned to " head-quarters," at Wavertree. The procession was headed by a carriage contain- ing Esq., high sheriff of the comity of Shropshire, S. Burton, and grand master of the Orange lodges in England and Ireland. There were also several flags and banners in the procession, bearing appropriate devices, amongst the most conspicuous of which was one containing a portrait of the Rev. Dr. 111.`Neile, bearing the following in- scription :—" Our countryman, our Protestant defender in Church and State." A beautiful flag of "Crammer and Latimer in prison" also attracted much attention. The different clubs separated for their respective club-houses, on arriving at the Coffee-house Hotel, in Wavertree; but pre- parations had been made in the bowling green attached for an unlimited number of visitors, and about three o'clock Mr. Burton, the high sheriff of Shropshire, made his appearance amongst the company, and was loudly cheered. The chair- man having addressed a few words to the meeting, Mr. Burton, the grand master, spoke at some length. He con- gratulated them on the splendid display they had that day made. He spoke at considerable length in favour of the loyal character of Orangemen, and eon.cluded by an energetic appeal on behalf of the order. After several other speeches the company retired, but in other respects it was a great day in Wavertree, and thousands of spectators were present to witness the procession. At some twelve or fourteen houses festive gatherings were held in the evening. CURIOUS QUESTION or OWNERSHIP. —A case, involving a curious legal question as to ownership, was heard at the County Court, on Friday. John Boyd and George Duncan, coopers, were plaintiffs, and John Tyson, also a cooper, in Vulcan- street, was defendant. The claim was for £l5 les. ed., for the value of eleven water casks, of 200 gallons each. In No- vember last, the plaintiffs supplied Messrs. Millers and Thomp- son with thirteen water casks for the Australian ship Gold- finder. There was an option on the part of Messrs. Millers and Thompson, that they might either keep or send back so many of the casks as should not be passed lay the Government emigrant officer. Eleven of the casks were allowed to remain on the Prince's Dock quay until the 20th of December, when' Mr. Tyson, the defendant, went to Messrs. Millers and Thomp- son, and asked if he could remove the casks in payment of a previous account he had against them. Permission was given to him and he removed them. Subsequently the plaintiffs also applied to Messrs. Millers and Thompson for the casks, having been inforned what had become of them. Mr. Thomp- son said they had been given to Mr. Tyson in a mistake, and wrote a letter asking him to deliver up the casks to the plain- tiffs. Armed with this letter, Messrs. Boyd and Duncan ap- plied to Mr. Tyson, but he refused to give up the casks, on the ground that they had been given to him by the owners in payment of an account. Messrs. Millers and Thompson be- came insolvent, and could not pay the plaintiffs. The action against the defendant was grounded on the argument, that Messrs. Millers and Thompson never were the owners of the casks, and had no right to give them to defendant. The judge decided that Messrs. Millers and Thompson, not having returned the casks in a reasonable time, had decided to keep them, so became the owners, and could, therefore, dispose of them as they thought ht, He gave judgulePt fox the defen- dant, with costs.

THE FUNDS. The English market was inanimate all day at the lower prices of Saturday ; the anticipation of a loan continued to operate unfavourably. Railways, with the exception of Cale- donians, which have improved, have not experienced much alteration, but the market displayed heaviness of tone. In Land and Bank Shares there is little feature. In Foreign Securities, Turkish showed renewed buoyancy, and closed at further considerable advance. Peruvian, owing to the pro- posed increase of the sinking fund, have also improved.

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. 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, JOHN JAMIESON. Messrs. Pomeroy; Andrews, and Co. . FURTHER IMPORTANT TESTIMONY.—OREAT CURE OTFILES. 17, Phelps-street, Walworth, Feb. 22, 1853. Gentlemen,--I was afflicted with the blind Piles, and was under medical treatment for three months, but obtained no relief. Heariiirof-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. 8, Ashley-terrace, City-road, London, June 9, 1852. GENTLEMEN,—PIease send me again three quart bottles of Old sir. Townsend's Sarsaparilla. I feel much better, and the general system greatly improved, and I hope I shall be all right with the three now ordered..--Yours very respectfully. JoHN W. MUNCH. Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co., 373, Strand. William Wearn, 1, High-street, Southsea, writes," I have taken several bottles of Old Townsend's Sarsaparilla, and derived benefit from it." Rev. J. W. Wilson, Wesleyan Minister, at Biggleswade, writes, June 7, 1852, " I have derived much benefit from taking Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla." PIMPLES, BLOTCHES, ERUPTIONS, &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.

FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH.—The mani- fold advantages to the Heads of Families from the posses- sion of a Medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to question with confidenc, and used with success in cases of temporary sick- ness, occurring They are an excellent aperient, create appetite, relieve languor, and invigorate the spirits, and if taken after an indulgence at table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose. " For upwards of nine years -(writes Mr. Thomas Province, of l,thatno in the kingdom. in families more or less every day, are so obvious can be raised of its importance to every housekeeper to a Winchmore Hill. Middlesex,) I have experienced the. efficacy of this excellent Medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion; but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief ; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine; and I have the happiness of saying that I never bad a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we know of nothing to equal it." Persons of a Full Habit, who are subject to Head-ache, Giddi- ness, Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising from too great a flow of Blood to the Head, should never be without them, as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their immediate use. For Females, these Pills are truly excellent, removing all obstructions, the distressing Head-ache so very pre- valent with the sex ; Depression of Spirits, Dulness of Sight, Ner- vous Affectiors, Blotches, Pimples, and Sallowness of the Skin, and give a healthy and juvenile bloom to the complexion. To Mothers they are confidently recommended as the best medicine that can be taken ; and for children of all ages they are unequalled. As a pleasant, safe, and easy' Aperient, they unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect. By regulating the dose, according to the age and strength of the patient, they become suitable fur every case, in either sex, that can be required.

Although I tried a variety of reputed remedies, I was not benefited, and finally 1 be- came so bad that life was almost insupportable to me. At this period I commenced using your pills, and in gratitude nm bound to confess, that after a few doses I felt considerably better, and in six weeks was radically cured by this medicine alone, after every other remedy had failed to afford me the slightest relief.

lEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STAN grief and sickness ? Can you resolve to wear a widow's habit perpetually—a habit which is less acceptable to company, a habit which will be always putting you in mind of your lost husband, and thereby promote your grief and indisposition till you leave it off ? The proper remedy for all these mischiefs is a new husband, and whether your ladyship should admit of a proper remedy for such maladies, is a question which I hope will not need much time to consider of. Whether your ladyship should go constantly in the melancholy dress of a widow, or flourish once more among the ladies; whether you should spend the rest of your days cheerfully or in sadness, or in health or in sick- ness, are questions which need not much consideration to decide them. Besides that, your ladyship will be better able to live according to your quality by the assistance of a husband than upon your own estate alone ; and therefore, since your ladyship likes the person proposed, I doubt not but in a little time to have notice of your ladyship's inclination to marry, at least that you will give him leave to discourse with you about it. I am, Madam, your ladyship's most humble, and most obedient servant." NAPOLEON AND CONSTANTINE.---In his 7th, volume of the Consulate and Empire, M. Thiers narrates the negotiations and confidential intercourse of the two Emperors, in July, 1807, at Tilsit. There, he tells us, they discussed " that immense system by which they were held joint rulers over Europe. The possi- ble, the probable, partition of the Turkish empire, was the continual topic of conversation. Napoleon was to have the maritime provinces, Russia the banks of the Danube as far as the Balkans. One day, says the his- torian, " the two Emperors, on returning from a long ride, shut themselves up in the writing cabinet, where numerous maps were spread out. Napoleon appa- rently, continuing a conversation briskly begun with Alexander, desire M. de Meneval to bring in the map of Turkey, unfolded it, then resumed the conversation, and, suddenly clapping his finger on Constantinople, exclaimed several times, regardless of being heard by his secretary, in whom he had absolute confidence— " Constantinople ! Constantinople! Never! 'tis the Em- pire of the world !" Mr. Thiers adds in a note that he had these particulars from M. de Meneval himself, and that their accuracy is guaranteed by the corres- pondence of MM. de Savary and de Caulincourt, They prove, he remarks, that notwithstanding all the efforts of Alexander, the limit of the Balkans was never passed. The Occult Treaty, signed at Tilsit, he further states, merely contained a stipulation that in case the Turkish government refused the mediation of France, its European provinces, excepting Constan- tinople and Roumelia, should be relieved " from the vexations of the Porte." Anxious, then, as Nopoleon was, in 1807, to gain the Russian affiance, there was one price he would not pay for it. He would not tole- rate Russian dominion south of the Balkans ; and though he professed, under certain contingencies, a willingness to advance the Russian frontiers to that range, subsequent events proved that he was insincere in these professions, and never intended any real aug- mentations of the Russian empire at the expense of the Sultan. POPULAR MANNERS IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY: Civilisation, born again, was yet in its cradle ; and neither the barbaric magnificence of the Field of the Cloth of Gold, nor the magic creations of Michael An- gelo, which revived the glories of ancient Greece, can shut our eyes to the horrors of the bloody field of Pavia, the martyr-fires of Smithfield, or the awful sack of Rome. If, on the one hand, the light of scriptural truth was once more kindled and displayed, on the other, bigotry, intolerance, ignorance, and superstition never appeared in greater strength, in higher places, or in more odious colours. Nor were the standard of morals, and general customs and usages of society, much, if anything, in advance of those universally pre- vailing in the most benighted times. The celebrated Marguerite de Valois, Queen of Navarre, a virtuous and estimable princess, free from the vices, but deeply tinctured with the levity of her contemporaries, has left us, in the Heptameron, a dreadful picture of the universal profligacy and corruption. In their long subjection to a cruel domination, women had thrown off their dignity, their delicacy, their virtue, and even their modesty. Amours and scandal were the secret— dice, chess, card playing, betting, the public—amuse- ments of ladies of rank ; and women of the humbler , class followed the same pursuits, in a more open, but not more vulgar manner. Their excesses were punished fl" witlolt „iii by their husbands in a very summary way, t tiry fear of magisterial retribution ; and, in facA Yotoua, dulgent lord ran some risk of being carrtle, native town in a blanket, as a public spec wife notoriously given to scolding was, demned to the ducking-stool.

THE AUSTRIAN PROPOSAL THE diplomatic papers laid on Thursday everting on the table of the House of Commons, refer almost exclusively to the solution of the third point formally proposed by Austria (after Russia had rejected the solution proposed by the Allie 4, and consented to by Austria). Lord John Russell's letter to the Earl of Clarendon, recommending the Austrian proposal, is, of course, a leading feature of the correspondence. The letter in question is dated Vienna,. April 18th, and his Lordship says : Yesterday, atter the Conference, the Plenipotentiaries of France, Great Britain, and Turkey, met in Count Buol's apart- ment. There had been an anxious feeling at the result of our former meeting. The position on both sides appeared to be uneasy, though much more on the side of Austria than on ours. The war would, indeed, in all probability continue to he a glorious struggle to England and to'France, and calculated to maintain the reputation of those two great Powers. But the waste of life and money would be enormous. On the other hand, the-fact of Austria's declining to join, in the war would have roused a very angry feeling in France and in Great Britain. Withthe Western Powers alienated, Prussia triumph- ing over her in Germany, and Russia bent on' her humiliation, hersituation would have been almost intolerable: These con- siderations on both sides led to the prevalenceof a-conciliatory spirit in the meeting of yesterday. After much discussion; his Lordship proceeds to'state, Count Buol proposed a general understanding, with the' terms of which the public areacquainted. Lord John Russell] having stated the propositions of Count Buol, says : I reserved my opinion for further consideration. Snell' was the general result .of this important meeting. M.- Dtottyn die Lhuys called upon me in the evening, and we drew up together a rough outline'of the proposals to be made. It will be seen, that supposing the proposition to be rejected as 'well as the first, the value ofthe third- depends on three things Guarantee by all the contracting Powers of the territory of Turkey. 2, A system of counterpoise Inithe Black Sea. 3.

Lord Clarendim-Bays : If we had brought our minds to despair 'of success in war, and were ready thereibre to make peace-en. any terms which will at once put an end to hostilities, then the proposal which Austria offers to make on our behalf to Russia would be in- expedient, because it contains the principle of limitation to which Russia has already objected, and her objections to which she has r_ow publicly announced in her circular of May 10 ; and, if such were the hopeless state of our affairs, it would be necessary to make some proposal that Russia would be likely to accept,nstead of one which, in the opiaion. of Count Buol, Russia is almost ocrtain to rojoot. But if, on, the other hand, ;ve still think thefuture prospects of the war sufficiently favourable to entitle us to persevere in demanding:the conditions which we have put forward as afford- ing a foundation for future security, then - the proposal of Austria is open to serious objections, becassec though it con- tains the principle of a limitation of the naval foreesof Russia in the Black Sea, the principle is not applied in a manner that would be effectual for its purpose ; and it does not contain the principle of- consular appointments and supervision, which is the best security that the limit which may ba agreed upon might not be exceeded without the knowledge of the Sultan and his Allies-,

THE LATE LORD RAGLAN. Under date of the 29th, the correspondent of the Times has the annexed account of the death of Lord Raglan ; Among the general orders promulgated yesterday afternoon was the following : The Field-Marshal has the satisfaction of publishing to the army the following extract from a telegraphic despatch from Lord Paumure, dated the 22nd of June t— • I have Her Majesty's commands to express her grief that so much bravery should not have been rewarded with merited success, and to assure her brave troops that her Majesty's confidence in them is entire. _ _ _ Within a few hours after this order had appeared, the elec- tric telegraph brought the melancholy and startling intelli- gence from head quarters to the various divisions that the Field-Marshal was dead. It would appear that he has lately —no doubt from the constant strain on his mental and bodily energies—been far from well, and the death of General Est- court, to whom he was much attached, the unsatisfactory result of the attack on the 18th ultimo, and the unhealthy weather since, broke down a constitution already enfeebled by age and long service. The following tells its own melancholy story : MORNING GENERAL ORDERS. Head Quarters before Sebastopol, June 29. No. I. It becomes my most painful duty to announce to the army the death of its beloved commander, Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, G.C.8., which melancholy event took place last night about nine o'clock. No. 2. In the absence of Lieut.-General Sir George Brown, the command of the troops devolves on me; as next senior officer present, until further orders are received from England. No. 3. Generals of divisions and beads of departments will be pleased to conduct their respective duties as heretofore. J. Simrsow, Lieutenant-General. There is great feeling of regret evinced throughout the camp at the loss of Lord Raglan. His death appears to have at once stilled every other feeling but that of respect for his memory, and remembrance of the many long years he faith- fully and untiringly served his country. The cause of his death is stated to have been diarrhoea, which terminated in cholera. The body is to be conveyed to England in her Majesty's ship Caradoc, and will leave very shortly. It will, I hear, be accompanied by the whole of his late lordship's personal staff, whose duties will then, of course, cease. Colonel the Hon. W. L. Pakenham will conduct for the present the duties of the Adjutant-General's office. We have now but very few generals left to command divi- sions or to act as brigadiers. Sir G. Brown left Kamiesch this morning for England ; he had, I believe, previously heard of the dead( of the Field-Marshal, but his medical advisers insisted on the necessity of his at once leaving the Crimea. General Pennefather, as you are aware, has been gone for some days. Generals Estcourt, Sir John Campbell. and Colonels Yea, Shadforth, &c., are no more. General Codrington, on whom the command of the Light Division now devolves, is in anything but a satisfactory state of health, and is at present on board of a man-of-war at Chersonese. The division provisionally under the orders of Colonel Shirley of the 88th, the only colonel of the division who remains of those who led their gallant men from Kalamita Bay to Alma and Inkenalan. General Barnard, it is under- stood, takes command of the Fourth Division, and, for the present, the duties of Brigadier-General will, with few ex- ceptions, 'devolve on the senior officers commanding regi- ments. The siege is " dragging on." The firing for the last two days or three has been a little more active on the part of the enemy, particularly at daylight. A report on the supply of water in the tanks of the different divisions has, I believe, been forwarded by the commanding engineer to head-quarters, and it is in contemplation, in consequence, to move a portion of the Land Transport Corps to the neighbourhood of Koranni ; but it seems to me that the supply, though not of the purest or most pellucid kind, is not reasonably to be complained of, and continues in sufficiently ample abundance. Some little amount' of unpopularity, I am told, has fallen on Sir Edmund Lyons, who hitherto has been the great favourite of all his officers. The Naval Brigade have been up here for many a long mouth of frost, snow, wet, cold, and privation. After weathering -the past winter, they brought through their men in better condi- tion than any other corps in camp. No doubt many of the officers volunteered for this duty with the hope that they would obtain, as they have proved they deserve, their promo- tion. A " death vacancy" among the lieutenants occurred a few days ago in the Naval Brigade, and by the usual Custom of the service, should have been conferred on one of those who had worked with it all along, but Sir Edmund Lyons selected for promotion a midshipman serving in • the St. Jean d'Acre, who happens to be a son of Sir James Graham ; directed that a board should be held to pass him to his next step—that of a mate ; and before he had been in that rank a dozen hours signalled for him to come to breakfast, and handed to him his commission as lieutenant. I regret to hear that there are complaints on the part of the Commissariat and Land Transport Corps respecting the " navvies." It seems the term for which their services were engaged has expired, and they will now only work when they please, and have, in fact, become exceedingly idle. The consequence is, that the whole system of getting up provisions by the railway for the divisions in front is deranged, and much valuable time is lost in also bringing up shot and shell to the trenches.

THE RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES AND FLAGS OF TRUCE. Os the 29th of June, a steamer left Cronstadt with a flag of truce, and steered for the allied fleet. A boat from the Duke of Wellington pulled alongside, and in that boat an officer was sent with a despatch from the Russian Minister of War to the English Admiral, informing him of the determina- tion arrived at by the Russian Government regarding com- munications with the Anglo-French fleet in the Baltic. That determination was expressed in the follow terms : " Flags of truce will only be received'Bn three points— namely, Cronstadt, Sweaborg, and Revel. "Vessels bearing a flag of truce must hoist a white flag of large dimensions, and cast anchor beyond long range, and wait until a boat goes alongside to receive a written message from them. " I must inform you, M. rAdmiral, that the Imperial Go- vernment has resolved not to recognise a flag of truce on any other point than those alaovementioned, or without the strict adhesion to the rules herein laid down." After consulting with the French admiral, Admiral Dundas sent a reply, in which he said : " I take the liberty of informing you that I am ignorant of the circumstances with respect to the conduct of my officers which may have given rise to restriction of communications by flags of truce as hitherto practised in the present war. I am perfectly aware that it is customary to hoist a white flag of sufficient size, and I also admit the necessity of not ap- proaching within range of the guns of a fortress without per- mission, or nearer any other point than may be necessary to attract attention ; but the time and place where such commu- nications, under a Hag of truce, may be thought indispensable depend upon the circumstances of each individual case. I admit, without reserve, that in most cases it is more suitable to send a flag of truce to a spot where it is likely to meet with an officer of rank ; and that, moreover, no advantage should be taken of such suspension of hostilities to accomplish, with- out danger, acts which could not have been done during actual hostilities. " By informing me that on the whole extent of the Russian territory from Tornea to Libau flags of truce are limited to the three points you have mentioned, you virtually increase the evils of war, and deprive both parties of those means of correspondence necessary even between enemies. " I regret that when such a notification was made to me no fact was mentioned which might have led me to make an inquiry into the conduct of those accused, and I am quite ready to institute an inquiry into the conduct of any officer pointed out to me as having violated a flag of truce. "As regards communications that may be sent to me, I refer you to the conditions you yourself have made, either to approach or display a flag of truce : a flag of truce will be received by the nearest vessel, and sent, as the case may be, to the senior officer, and I ask no other security than that which I may reasonably expect from the good faith and honour of the officers to whom you may think fit to entrust such sort of communications." To this reply, which challenges the Russians to the proof of any violation of the law of nations on our part, and throws on them the responsibility of the proposed departure from established usage, the French admiral has given his cordial assent. THE PARIS EXHIBITION of INDUSTRY. THE correspondent of the Guardian writes :—To make up for want of punctuality and grandeur of conception, the Exhibition of 1855 will, I think, ultimately be allowed to have greatly the advantage of its predecessor in the value and beauty of its productions. The new portions have proved fully equal to the expectations entertained respecting them, and it is impossible to deny that no other country in the world save France has the power of displaying such a collec- tion of luxury and elegance as that now exhibited within the circles of the panorama. Any attempt at description would be wholly unavailing. I will merely mention that, the furni- ture displayed in the outer circle by the Faubourg St. Antoine far exceeds in richness and costliness anything exhibited in England. It bespeaks, indeed, a luxury almost frightful to contemplate, and certainly of a kind which no fortunes in France can be justly adequate to support. Few of your readers, probably, can have overlooked or forgotten the beautiful sideboard of Fourdinois, of the Four Quarters of the Globe, exhibited in London. Beautiful as was the carving, it was insignificant compared to the treatment of the same subject by Ribaillier in the present Exhibition. The personages, large as life, have all the vigour of the finest productions of the sculptor's chisel, while the finish of every part of the work is unrivalled. The whole is carved in walnut- wood of a rich colour. The cost to the maker was upwards of £1000; the price put upon it will be from £14,000 to £15,000. The fashion of introducing bronzes d'art into furniture pre- vails just now; you see bookcases richly sculptured, into the panellings of which are inserted, in bronze, copies of the Gates of Ghiberti, or other costly and elaborate subjects. A favourite piece of furniture is a cabinet of arms, for the display of ancient and modern weapons, either of war or the chase. An especially beautiful specimen represents on each side a falconer, and a fisherman, of really marvellous execution, so free is the action with which the one throws up the bird and the other handles the net. The panels of this cabinet a... exquisitely • painted with emblematical figures on a gold ground. The design and effect of the whole is elegant and rich in the extreme. But it would be useless to go on ; the style and costliness of this ex- travagant collection of furniture is such as does not exist, and is hardly known out of this country. In the inner circle the imperial manufactures biddefiance to all competition, as well they may. Since the day when Jean Gobelin founded the Gobelins in 1450, it has been backed by the whole strength of the Govern- ment,for four hundred years,regardless of expense. The cartoons of " Paul and Barnabas at Lystria," and of the " Miraculous Draught of Fishes," the portraits after Titian, and various other productions, are wonders in tapestry. Nor are Beaunois or Aubusson one whit behindhand. A magnificent carpet is displayed, a present from Louis Napoleon to the Pope. The wreath around it is entwined with the names of Napoleon's victories; at" the bottom is written les dix commandments; and immediately above is, first the triple crown and keys, and then the imperial crown and cipher; rich garlands form the centre upon a field of bees. The Sevres vases are of extra- ordinary beauty of form and material, and the landscapes and subjects painted on them of equal merit. A baptistery also attracts great attention ; it is asked whether it be intended for a future and hoped-for King of Rome. There are enamels which have nothing to envy in those of Bernard Palissy. Amongst other objects is a state ,dinner-service, commanded by the Emperor, and just terminated after three years' labour. Though only electro-plated, the covering of silver is so solid, and the chiselling so rich and highly finished, that the cost of the whole has been £32,000.

FRIDAY. In answer to a question from Lord Monteagle, Earl GRAN- VILLE said Her Majesty's Government had become parties to a joint guarantee for five millions as a loan to Turkey ; and undoubtedly this country was responsible to the creditor for the whole amount. The course adopted on the present occa- sion had not been arrived at in a hurry, but had been maturely conatiercd. The Earl of EGLINTO presented a number of petitions against the Scottish Education Bill, from various places in Scotland. Several bills were advanced a stage ; and their lordships ad- journed at twenty minutes past six. HOUSE OF COMMONS. TUESDAY. During the morning sitting the house was engaged in committee in considering the details of the Nuisances Re- moval Bill. At the evening sitting a petition was presented by Captain Scobell, from a meeting at South Shields, representing the seamen of 17 of the northern ports, praying that the crew of any vessel not seaworthy may have power to make legal com- plaint thereof. No CONFIDENCE IN MINISTERS.—Sir E. B. LYTTON gave notice that when the house went into committee on Friday he should move " That the conduct of the Minister charged with the negotiations at Vienna, and his continuance in office as a responsible adviser of the Crown, have shaken the confidence which the country should place in those to whom the administration of public affairs is intrusted." (Hear.) In answer to questions put by Mr. Stafford, Mr. F. PEEL stated that Dr. A Smith continues to officiate until his suc- cessor is appointed; and that, with respect to Dr. Hall, during the time Lord Panmure had been at the head of the War Department there had been no complaint as to the man- ner in which he had performed his duty, and therefore Lord Panmure had not removed him from the headship of the medical department of the army in the East. LOAN TO TURKEY.—Lord PALMERSTON, in reply to Mr. J. L. Ricardo, said a treaty had been signed, by which the Governments of France and England agreed to guarantee a loan of £5,000,000 to Turkey, and her Majesty would recom- mend to Parliament to guarantee one-half of this loan. As soon as the ratifications were exchanged the treaty would be laid before Parliament_ He added, care would be taken that 'the loan should be applied to military purposes. • " ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM.—Mr. V. SCULLY moved an address, thanking Her Majesty for the order in Council of the 21st of May last, by which certain persons were directed to examine into and certify the qualifications of all young men, proposed to be appointed to junior situations in any depart- ment of the civil service; and praying that Her Majesty will be pleased to direct the examination to be an open one, and held in public, and that the examiners have regard to superior qualifications and merit.—The motion was seconded by Lord GODERICH.—The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, after a lengthened address, in which he reviewed the various allega- tions of those who supported the Administrative Reform movement, and also stated the measures adopted by Govern- ment for securing an efficient administration of the different departments, concluded by moving the previous question.— A discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr. WILKINSON, Mr. W. S. LINDSAY, and Sir S. NORTIICOTE spoke in favour of the motion; Mr. GLADSTONE and Mr. TITE in terms which made it doubtful to which side they leaned; and Sir C. WOOD and Lord PALMERSTON in favour of the amendment.—At the conclusion of these addresses, Mr. SCULLY replied in facetious terms, after which the house divided, the previous question being carried by 140 to 125. CALL OF THE HOUSE.—Mr. ROEBUCK moved that the house be called over on Tuesday, when his motion would come on for discussion, the importance of which he considered a sufficient justification of the present motion.—Upon a divi- sion, the motion was negatived by 133 to 108. ' Leave was given to the Chancellor of the Exchequer and to Mr. V. Smith to introduce certain bills, and the orders of the day having been disposed of, the house adjourned at a quarter past one o'clock.

iMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. that truly cosmopolitan spirit which must ever actuate thelorer of literature for literature's sake, shows a somewhat strained feeling in his endeavours to place the American poets on &pedestal, which even he, him- self, seems doubtful of their right to occupy. He claims for transatlantic poetry not only the highest present place, but insists on its future occupancy of a yet more exalted position. So long as he maintains his theory in general terms, it may probably be unnecessary to interfere ; and we should feel inclined, in the language of Scotch heraldry, to " let the deed show :" but when he tells u s that these great expectancies are founded on the ennobling and spiritual character of American philosophy, we are constrained to look somewhat more narrowly into the subject. In doing so, we find . that the so-called spiritualism and philospphy of America, so far as these can be gleaned from her most popular authors, leans heavily towards materialism, and specially favours its consequent help- mates, scepticism and infidelity. This knowledge, con- nected with the reviewer's averment, makes us pause before trusting ourselves to his guidance ; as, however, he has only half treated of his subject in this present paper, and defers entering critically into the merits of the poets, whom he merely eulogises, it becomes un- necessary, on this occasion, to do more than protest .against the conclusion with which he somewhat singularly sets out. The other papers in the number are generally interesting, and embrace discussions upon marry 'important subjects, displaying varied scholar- ship and the possession of right feeling. Stories from a Screen. By Dudley Costello. London Bradbury and Evans. This is really an amusing as well as a clever book. It abounds in smartly-delineated sketches of men and manners in different countries, dashed off in the easy style of a master. They are generally short, and in the stories of a screen we have an almost endless variety of lively reading. Such a book for a sea-side companion is invaluable. Possessed of it, the most listless may defy ennui, and the " man upon town" may for the nonce safely shut himself up in a her- mitage Plain Directions for the .Purchase, Choice, and Management of Horses in Health and Disease. By James Mills, M.V.C.S. London : Dean and Son. In this small volume the amateur of " horse-flesh" will find much useful information conveyed in popular language. He will here find disinterested counsel upon a subject more beset by artificial difficulties than are to be met with in probably any other course of study. The book is well written, carefully prepared, and very cheap. --. Hogg's Instructor. Edinburgh : James Hogg. The July number of this periodical sustains its cha- racter for varied utility, and pleasing as well as harm- less amusement. It opens with a cleverly-written essay on " The Poetry, of Alfred Tennyson," from the pen of Gerald Massey, in which that clever writer reviews, suo more, the claims of Tennyson to public favour, concluding by demanding for him and for his writings a proud, niche in the temple of fame. The other paper,s in the number are of the usual order. Sharpe's London _Magazine. London : A. Hall, Virtue, and Co. A long period has now elapsed since this periodical was last submitted to our critical inspection, in which interim it seems to have undergone considerable change in its contents and arrangement, without, however, abating its claims to favourable consideration. It still continues, judging from the July number, to be a repertory of nice original tales ; to be well garnished with selected matter ; and it concludes with fairly got up notices of new publications. The present number is embellished by an illustration from the prolific etching-needle of George Cruikshank. Our Magazine : containing Original Compositions in Prose and Verse. Birkenhead : .Ward and Parker. The possession of a respectable magazine in any locality is a step of advance in the way to intellectual culture, which deserves countenance and commendation from all right-minded members of the community. The object sought in establishing this serial, which has reached, its fifth monthly number, is, we are told, for the purpose of publishing " original compositions in prose and verse, on any subject, except such as are purely theological, or inconsiamt with Istria morality." A FIRST APP.EARASCE ON ANY STAGE, WE had been urging my grandfather to tell a story in his turn—it was a great many years ago, before he was attacked by that illness which ultimately caused his death—and after much presuasion, he had consented. The old gentleman smiled, took off his spectacles, and thus began : " What I am going to tell you is an adventure that happened to myself. It took place when I was quite a youth—not twenty years of age— and travelling through Germany for my pleasure. You have heard me speak of Muller, my trusty German friend and tutor ? Well, he was with me at this time, and we were pedestrianisin„o• together through the states of Central Germany. It was about midsummer when we reached the fertile little duchy of Saxe-Weimar, where we took up our quarters at a snug inn on the borders of a forest, which was very romantic and pleasant. Now, Muller would read and smoke all night, and lie in bed late in the morning; but I was an early riser then, and loved to be out in the woods and fields by break of day, to see the sunrise from the hill-tops ; so, as you may imagine,, we had not much of one another's society till the afternoon. On this particular morning of which I am speaking, I had started earlier than usual, meaning to have a long ramble through the green forest, and bidding Muller come and meet me at his leisure in one particular spot, which we had discovered a. day or two previously in the very heart of the solitude—a wooded hill, down which a foamy cascade leaped merrily, and mingled' with the waters of a little winding river that threaded= the intricacies of the forest. At the foot of this hill, just raised from the level of the surrounding ground, and quite set round with leafy trees, was a semi-circular piece of lawn; like a natural amphitheatre, through which the streamlet took its way, still bubbling and eddying from the agitation caused by the tiny cataract a few paces beyond. Altogether, it was a delicious place ; and here, with a volume of Shakspeare in my pocket, I went that morning with the intention of reading As You Like It, in a spot as fair and lonely as even the Forest of Arden. I used then to be somewhat of a naturalist, as you ar e aware. I was easily led away by a fern, or a flower, or any fragment of quartz or crystal that chanced to fall in my path ; and this day, happening to get in- terested in a peculiar variety of the lichen race, which seemed here to bound, I so loitered by the way that it was almost noon before I arrived at the point of ren- dezvous. But my surprise was great when I found it already occupied, and, apparently, for a very singular and amusing purpose. The party in possession consisted of some sixteen or eighteen ladies and gentlemen, and about half-a-dozen servants in gray and silver livery. All of them were young and well dressed. The gen- tlemen wore a kind of hunting-costume, and the ladies looked charming in their light summer gar- ments. The servants were busily occupied in erecting a temporary theatre, formed of canvas and painted wood-work ; a pile oicushions and cloaks were laid in front upon the Award, for the accommodation of the spectators ; and everything was being prepared for a dramatic performance in the open air. Something seemed, however, to have gone wronc, in their arrange- ments ; for they had all gathered together round one young man of commanding height and agreeable aspect, with whom they were consulting in hurried and anxious tones, and who, by the troubled expression of his countenance, seemed no less puzzled and dis- concerted than themselves. All at once every eye was turned upon me, as I stood in silent wonder just at the opening point among the trees. There was a joyful cry—a clapping of fair hands—a burst of merry laughter ; and to my immense tonfusion,,l was in a moment surrounded by the little company, and questioned by ,a dozen voices together. Can you act ?' Do you know the comedy of Die Burgomeistre Will you take Herman for us P' Can't you contrive to read the part ?' Anyhow will do, if you would but consent to: oblige us !' Startled and bewildered, I looked from one to an- other, not knowing how to reply or whom to answer first, when the young man whom I had before ob- served advanced towards me, and said with much politeness and good breeding

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. TIM whole of the property and effects of Sir J. D. PanListo behrought to the hammer on-the 23rd of 'the present month. GOVERNAIDNT has resolved on forming.an encampment:at Stirling for four or five regiments of •militia.--7flundee Advertiser. Iv accordance with a new arrangement, a messenger as,to leave London fer the seat of war every-Saturday instead cof Friday. THE SUNDAY BEER BILL.—The Select Committee on the Sunday Beer Bill met on Tuesday, when .several London magistrates were examined, all of -whom objected to the bill in its present shape, and advised important alterations. THE,case of Strahan, Paul, and Bates•.was again heard at Bow-street Police-office, on Wednesday, when the prisoners were further remanded for another week. Application for bail was made, but refused. DECIMAL eolNAGOL—Government, says ,the Times, are stated to have resolved upon appointing a commission to in- quire into the subject .of decimal coinage, to be<composed of Lord Monteagle, Mr. Hubbard, and Mr. Norman. Mr. RIISEEIII, Gun n i and Mr. O'Malley have given their opinion that under the act 52 Geo. 111. cap. 156, ,members of the Church of England, as well as dissenters, may protect themselves from penalties by registering their houses as places of religious worship, incompliance with the terms of the act. MRS. ISIBEILA. Sruirriu-Eu, wife of Mr. M. Spraiuger, of Ramsey, Isle of Man, and who had been residing 'for some time past with her sister at Larey, committed :suicide, on Monday last, by suspending herself from a beam in the bed- room. _ _ AT THE STAFFORDSHIRE SESSIONS, last week, a man and woman were charged with stealing £7O from a horse dealer •at a fair at Leek. The man, no was acquitted, had been in gaol sixteen times within ten years ; and the woman, who was sentenced to fourteen years' penal servitude, had been in prison eight times. A COLLISION occurred on Tuesday evening, near the Rose- grave station of the East Lancashire Railway, and a short distance from Burnley, occasioned'by a passenger train from Accrington to Colne running into a goods train. The van of the luggage train and a waggon, loaded with iron, were smashed *to pieces, but no serious personal injury was sustained. FATkL QUARREL IN AN AMERICAN SHIP AT BALACLAVA. —From aletter received from Balaclava, on the 26th ult., we learn that a tragedy, attended with fatal results, occurred on board the American ship Arlington. One of the men, in an altercation with the mate, struck him, when the latter armed himself with a pistol, and discharged its contents into the chest of the unfortunate man. This wanton abuse of power occurred at an anchorage where there were upwards of flay sail to render assistance in-case of mutiny. FEARFUL TarrrnEasTonm.---On Tuesday afternoon Not- tingham and the immediate neighbourhood were visited by a terrible thunderstorm, which lasted for nearly three hours, raging during that time with remarkable violence. The rain fell in torrents, accompanied by hailstones of a very large size. The storm commenced about three o'clock, and con- tinued, with very little intermission, until six. In Bilbie- street, and in other parts of the town walls were washed down, and considerable damage done. A great amount of damage has been sustained in the fields contiguous to the river Trent, by the loss of stock, &c. There has not been so great a fall of rain for some time past. ORDER OF AFFILIATION ON A ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST. —The County Justices in Quarter Sessions were on Wednes- day occupied at Durham in hearing an appeal made by the Rev. Richard Singleton, a Roman Catholic priest, against an order made against him by the borough magistrates of that town for the support of an illegitimate child. The mother is Miss Beatrice Jane Jones, the daughter of a Church of Eng- land clergyman residing at Douglas, Isle of Man. Various proceedings have taken place in the case, but the result of the investigation on Wednesday was that the county magistrates confirmed the previous order, directing Mr. Singleton to pay 2s. 6d. per week during 13 years for the maintenance of the child. . . _ - A STATEMENT has been issued by Mr. James Low, from which it appears that the shipments of specie from England to India, China, Egypt, and Malta for the half year just ended have been £2,514,006, of which, £396,847 consisted of gold, and £2,117,169 of silver. As compared with the cor- responding half of 1864, this shows an increase of £140,992, although the total export was then unusually large. The proportion of gold, however, is smaller in the present return. The sum included in the aggregate total as having been sent to China this half year is £833,466, of which all but £140,624 was silver. In the first six months of 1854 the total sent to China was £1,289,648. The recent augmentation in the ship- ments to the East, has, therefore, been caused exclusively by the Indian demand. NEWSPAPERS POE THE BRITISH COLONIES AND FOREIGN COUNTRIES.—The following notice has been issued from the General Post-office :—" Many newspapers for British colonies and foreign countries having been posted unpaid, contrary to the Printed Instructions, No. 45, 1855, recently issued upon the subject, the Postmaster-General thinks it necessary to repeat the intimation that a postage (the amount of which can be ascertained by an inspection of the notice No. 16, at any post-office) is now required to be pre-paid, in addition to the newspaper stamp, upon all newspapers sent to the British Colonies, and upon those sent to all foreign countries except then following, namely,—France or Algeria, Belgium, Prussia via Belgium, and any foreign country (except Turkey) via Belgium and Prussia, New Granada, Peru, Any newspapers which may be posted without the requisite pre-payment, can• not be forwarded to their destination."

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 hive 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-squere, 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 am, your obedient servant, JOHN JAMIESON.

Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co., 373, Strand. William Wearn, 1, High-street, Southsea, writes, " I have taken several bottles of Old Townsend's Sarsaparilla, and derived benefit from it." Rev. J. W. Wilson, Wesleyan Minister, at Biggleswade, writes, June 7, 1852, " I have derived much benefit. from taking Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla." PIMPLES, BLOTCHES, ERUPTIONS, &C. The same may be said of these as in the cure of the severer chronic maladies ; the Sarsaparilla and theOin the surfacetment will effec- tually wipe off all disagreeable eruptions, and render pimply skin, or clear and beautiful.

News from the Crimea by this arrival is to the 30th of June. Despatches leave at 9 a.m. DESPATCH FROM THE LATE LORD, RAGLAN. The Gazette of last night contains a despatch, dated 26th June, from the late Lord Raglan, enclosing the weekly medical report, dated 26th, and list of casualties : Cholera and bowel complaints had been on the increase within the last two or three days, but neither the admissions nor deaths had been so marked as to attract special attention, though numerous enough to create uneasiness. The admis- sions to strength (taking the whole force) during the week had been in the ratio of 10.50 per cent. However, the deaths to strength are in the ratio of 0.68 per cent.; but 1,659 of the admissions during the week were from wounds alone. The Sardinian troops had suffered much more from the epidemic than the British troops. Great attention was paid to the cleanliness of the different camps. Lord Raglan reports with much sorrow the sudden death, from cholera, of Captain Charles Bowles, 10th Hussars, and laments the loss of Lieut.-Adjutant H. Marsh, 33d Regiment killed in the trenches on the 24th June. Numerical return of casualties on the morning of the 18th June :—Total, 1,473. Supplementary return of officers wounded on the 18th of June :—Staff-Major Stuart Wortley, Ist Dragoon Guards, slightly; Captain H. Stephenson, 18th Foot, slightly.

They left without waiting for the steamer from Kamiesch, which has been dela.yed by some -unknown cause. A Vienna letter of the sth, in The Times, asserts that in the course of the present month nearly 300,000 Russians would be concentrated near Sebastopol. RUSSIA.

The Packet of the 20th July, carrying the Mails of that date will be the splendid Clipper-ship SHALIMAR, 1,405 tons register, 3,500 tons burthen, Captain A. ROBERTSON. This magnificent ship is just off her first voyage to the Colo- nies ; on the passage out and home she far exceeded the expecta- tions formed of her sailing qualities. She made the run from the Mersey to Cape Northumberland, within a day's sail of Hob- son's Bsy, in the remarkably short space of 67 days, under rather unfavourable circumstances ; she attained, however, the high speed of 420 nautical miles in one day. The entire voyage was made in 6 months and 14 days, including detention of 45 days abroad. • All her passengers were landed in perfect health ; and a testimonial was presented to Captain Robertson for his urhauity and attention during the passage. The SHALIMAR will be refitted, and whatever experience has suggested as desirable to promote the comfort of the Emigrants in the voyage will be introduced. The ventilation in this ship is essentially perfect, an element in the fitting-up of a passenger- ship which cannot be too highly appreciated-. Carry Surgeons and Chaplains, also an extensive Library. For Freight and Passage apply to the Owners, PILKINGTON and WILSON, Water-street, Liverpool. In Melbourne, to Messrs. GEORGE F. TRAIN and Co. Passengers embark at the Packet-berth, in Wellington Dock, On the 18th. AUSTRALIA. THE EMIGRANTS' ADVICE AND PROTECTION COMPANY. CHIEF OFFICES-LEICESTER-BUILDINGS, 27, KING-STREET, LIVERPOOL. PATRONS AND SUPPORTERS THE MERCHANTS AND SHIPOWNERS OF LIVERPOOL. Liverpool being now the first port of embarka- , tion in the world, it has been thought advisable to ,kt.,k establish a company for the express purpose of. giy- p,Lo A.; in,. the intending emigrant to the British Colonies in Australia and nada', and to the United States of America (but more especially to Australia), such gratuitous in- formation as is requisite to obtain a cheap and agreeable voyage, and to promote his safety and success on his arrival. To this end a regular register will be kept at the Company's Offices of all Emigrant Ships of character leaving Liverpool, to- gether with the correct time of sailing, the scale of charge, &c., and the latest time for the emigrant leaving his home. Another register will contain a list of respectable hotels and lodging-houses, with their scale of charges, and the addresses of tradesmen from whom the emigrant may obtain his outfit of ne- cessary articles at moderate prices. As none but ships, hotels, and tradesmen of undoubted cha- racter can obtain an entry on the Company's Register, it is con- fidently and earnestly hoped that the emigrant will firmly with- stand every attempt through other means to induce him to engage his passage, or pay a deposit, before his arrival at the Company's Offices in Liverpool, where he is certain to gain that knowledge, free of charge, which will effectnally shield him against the impo- sitions to which he is unavoidably exposed. Emigrants should give the company' a week's notice at least of the time of their departure for Liverpool, and their mode of tra- velling, when its servants will be in attendance to receive them and their luggage. As the company is supported by its patrons, no servant is al- lowed to receive fees of any kind on pain of dismissal. Attendance at the Chief Offices, Liverpool, from Ten to Five daily. All applications attended to gratuitously. Letters per post, with postage stamp enclosed, must be addressed to "The Secretary of the Emigrants' Advice and Protection Company, Liverpool." W. WH ITEHOUSE, Secretary.

MORRISH'S MERCHANTS' DINING ROOMS LANCASTER-BUILDINGS, TITHEBARN-STREET, Close to the Exchange, the Lancashire and Yorkshire, and East Lancashire Railways and Pier-he WHOLESALE PHOTOGRAPHIC WAREHOUSE. JOHN ATKINSON, 33, MANCHESTER-STREET, LIVERPOOL, Importer and Manufacturer of every Article in the above Art, has always in Stock some of the most approved Lenses and Cameras, of all the various sizes; Glass Baths and Plates, Collodion Cases, Matta, Passe Partouts, Preservers, Cansons, Paper, &c. Purchasers taught free of charge. SOYER'S RELI S H. SOYER'S SAUCE SUCCULENTE. SOYER'S AROMATIC MUSTARD. The world-wide renown obtained by the above esteemed Condi- ments, having fostered the production of several imitations in which the Jars and Labels are most accurately copied (but not so the contents), M. SOYER deems it his duty to caution the public in every instance to carefully examine the labels before purchasing. The genuine articles are sold wholesale by Messrs. CROSSE and BLACKWELL, 21, Soho.square, and Families may be certain of obtaining them by ordering of their Grocer or Italian Warehouseman. _ M. SOYER is proud to say the Lancet, in its recent sanitary analysation of articles of food, gave a highly favourable report of his Sauces, which are prepared from thoroughly wholesome in- gredients. The Sauce Succulente is of two kinds, but both alike in character, and of equal excellence. One made expressly for ladiesis very mild, and the other for gentlemen is of a much warmer flavour. Of SHYER'S RELISH the Observer says :—" Al. Soyer is a culi- nary artist as profound as he is versatile, nothing comes amiss to him. No foreign cutstmer ever tickled the Saxon palate so suc- cessfully. He is a great man, and the ill cooked mutton chops that lost Napoleon the battle of Leipsic would have produced a very different effect if Soyer had dished them up from his `Magic Stove,' and rendered them thoroughly light and digestible by his appetising 'Relish.' " PAINLESS TOOTH EXTRACTION, (WITHOUT CHLOROFORM,) BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT. Mr. ESKELL is the only DENTIST privileged to sue the Patent in LIVERPOOL. A New and ELEGANT IMPROVEMENT connected with DENTAL SURGERY, has been invented by MR. ESKELL, SURGEON DENTIST, Who may be personally consulted every WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, and FRIDAY, at No. 85, RENSH 411 r-STREET, (NEAR ST. LUKE'S CHURCH,) LIVERPOOL. It is the construction of an entirely new description of ARTIFI- CIAL TEETH, beautifully Enamelled and of the most exquisite Workmanship, from Part of a Tooth to a Complete Set, and is composed of the finest Materials, which are afterwards Enamelled to resemble the Natural Teeth, in every Shade and Colour. They are incorrodible, (will never change colour or decay,) and when adapted to the mouth are not discernible from the Natural Teeth. They are constructed upon Metals of unexceptionable purity, and for comfort in wearing and general appearance cannot be excelled. Mr. ESKELL supplies ARTIFICIAL TEETH on his new sys- tem of SELF-ADHESION, without extracting any Teeth or Stumps. Mr. ESKELL has Specimens in every variety, and will be happy to show them to those interested in the subject, when their pre-eminence will be at once apparent, and this statement of their superiority over all others will be found to be entirely and scrupulously correct. Incorrodible ARTIFICIAL TEETH, as above, from TEN SHILLINGS EACH TOOTH. FILLING DECAYED TEETH with ESKELL'S celebrated WHITE TERRA PASTE, which never changes colour, and is free from those injurious properties 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 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 con- siderably lessened ; and the Tooth being extracted perpendicularly and almost PAINLESS, renders chloroform unnecessary. "We can confidently direct attention to it as a boon to the pro- fession and the public."—Lancet. "It allows of the extraction of teeth on 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 publish some of the teatimonals received in favour of the Patent Appa- ratus 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 have met with their entire approbation; some of them have also been patients, and to them the reader can be more particularly referred.

PROVISIONS. LIVERPOOL, JULY 6.—The demand for beef has not im- proved, the sales are of a retail character, but there is no tendency to lower prices, the small stock inspiring confidence. In pork also the transactions are unimportant, without change in value. There is rather more inquiry for bacon, but buyers try to come in at a greater reduction than holders think proper to concede, hence the transactions, though more extensive than for a week or two past, are only of a retail character. At a further advance -of 64 to Is per cwt, there is a fair inquiry for ►ard, and the sales for the week are reported at 200 tons. High prices are maintained for cheese, and good new American will find a ready sale. Grease butter is wanted, but there is very little here. JULY 9.—The butter market was not so active during the past week, but the high rates paying in Inland caused holders to demand an advance of Is per cwt. for choice qualities, which, with the very hot weather, gave a check to sales, and the trans- actions were only to a moderate extent ; the supply continues very good. The quotations are the prices asked to-day :—Water- ford, Carrick, Dungarvan and Clonmel, 96s to 99s ; Kilkenny, Carlow and Wexford, 94s to 95s : Limerick, 88s. to 92s per cwt., landed. Imported from Ireland from the 30th June to the 6th inst., 11,323 kegs, 468 crks., 257 bxs., 195 brls. butter ; 61 bales bacon, 7 hhds. and 7 trs. hams, and 15 kegs lard. ST.

The Hair Restored, Baldness and Greyness Preventel by BEETHAM'S CAPILLARY FLUID. The truly wonderful effi- cacy of this unique preparation is the theme of admiration where- ver introduced. It effectually prevents the hair falling off or turning grey, promotes its growth on places that have been bald for years, strengthens weak and fine hair, and gradually restores its natural colour, without the use of dye. It cleanses the head from scurf, and imparts a beautiful transparent, glossy appear- ance, and keeps it in any desired form. In inducing the growth of whiskers, eyebrows, mustachios, its effect is surpris:ng.— Bottles 2s. 6d.; double size 4s. 6d. ; 7s. 6d., equal to four small ; Ils. to Six small.

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. 1831. Gentlemen,—l have much pleasure in testifying to the nume- rous thanks I have received from various persona 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, JOHN JAMIESON. Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co.

The Earl of GRANVILLE said the hon. and learned member would have the support of government whenever he brought on the bill. Lord REDESDALE said the bill was really one for the admis- sion of Jews into parliament, and he protested against such a measure being brought in at this period of the session, when the sense of the house could not be fairly taken upon it. The motion for the second reading was postponed until to-morrow week.

DOCK COMNETTEE. The proceedings of this committee included the report of the parliamentary sub-committee on the Dock-bill, and on the bill prosecuted by the Corporation for the purchase of the Birkenhead Docks. Mr, Brogwrrix asked whether the Dock Committee would be bound by the bill to take the Birkenhead docks at the price the Corporation was to give for them? The Towst-Cxxiast, on being referred to', said by theclause of the bill the Corporation were required to transfer the Birkenhead docks to the Liverpool dock trustees so soon as the latter body should be authorised by parliament to become the purchaser, and the transfer was to be made either upon the Corporation being repaid by the dock trustees the whole of their outlay; with interest, or on such other terms as might be mutally agreed upon, and approved by parliament. Mr. WOODIRTInt wished to know whether the Corporation was bound to sell upon the terms stated. Mr. ALDERMAN' BENNETT also put a question, relative to the subject, in answer to which the Town-Clerk said the Cor- poration were required to sell the Birkenhead docks to the dock trustees upon such, terms as might be mutually agreed upon. The terms would come under the corisideratiou of the council, and would require. to be sanctioned by parliament. Mr. ALDERMAN ar,vm expressed his regret that Liverpool should have laid itself open to-be charged by parliament with not exercising its usual, caution at this peculiar juncture in regard to the money market ;• in going for a bill, with the prospect of an expensive war before them, to double thedoek estate ; and which, disgaise• it as they might, would have taken the timber trade out of LiVerpool to Bootle, to make- a second dock estate for Lord Derby. He regarded the defeat of this bill, for a defeat he considered it, with satisfaction, be- cause it would have the effect of giving a check to that dispo- sition to monopolise the whele • business of the docks which had been evinced by the dock trustees. He had been told,;- when he averred that the establishment of this monopoly, would ruin the master tradesman, that, although destroyed as- master tradesmen, these men would find employment as• coopers, porters, and warehousemen in the warehouses of the- Dock Committee, or in those to- be- erected ; but look at the- difference in their position. They were now independent men and masters; they would them become the serfs and slaves of the Dock Committee; and Isolong as he had a seat in the council, he would lift up his- voice- against the system which tended to reduce them to such a condition. The Dock Committee had a deal of evidence ; ;they had evidence to prove that the timber trade could: only be carried on at Bootle : they had evidence to prove -that there was a great want of warehouse room in Liverpool; while at the very time, he assured the-council upon his bonus as- a gentleman, one half of the warehouses were unoccupied,- and not able to pay the -parish taxes. The evidence of the-Dock Committee went for . nothing-;. but, as was the case-with parliamentary com- mittees,- they listened to parties in private-instead of in public, and, this was-one- reason why the Deck-Committee were not allowed -to perpetttatethis monopoly which was already begun, and which he was, very glad to see was-nee to,be perpetuated. Mr...1-11..eunko- said if the Dock Committee were allowed to purchase the Birkenhead property at cost price-, including in- terest, it was-quite right ; but if they had the- option of re- ducing.the price by £200,000 or £300,000, he-thought it was altogether a one-sided bargain. He thought something ought to be done to compel the Dock Committee to take this property from the Corporation without any loss whateverrthe time being fixed at two, three, four or five years? .as--might be agreed upon. Mr. Swan. understood that the management- of the Birken- head Docks was to be placed immediately in the hands of the Dock Committee. (" Yes.") Well, then, the Corporation .were bound in the next session. of Parliament, or at some future day, to go and get -permission to sell this property tothe Dock Trustees, and :the Dock Trustees were also,to get permission to purchase-on .such, terms as both sides might mutualty agree upon. These provisiena appeared to be objecticrnable, for this reason. TIM Corporation were putting the management of their property into the hands of a body whose feelings, were• not likely to be in .favonr of working it to the best, advantage. He would nct do it in his own case, and therefore he would not do it in the case of those who had entrusted their interests to his charge. He thought the Cor- poration ought to manage the Birkenhead Docks themselves. The TOWLY.CLERN, in answer to questicals- from Mr. Brad- ley, said the Dock Committee had no power to, take the pro- perty except upon suck terms as the Couneil'chose to agree to. If they refused.to take- it on those terms, the Corporation must apply to Parliament for an act to repeal the. clause, which, as a matter of course,. would in that case be repealed, and the Cor- poration could then manage that estate,‘ Mr. Alderman &HOLDER, in a speechof considerable length, deprecated a, continuance of discussion upon the general question, or doing- anything which might indicate a division of feeling and opinion upon the subject, more particularly as it was known there were-gentlemen in Manthesterready to take ad- vantage of any incautious expression whichanight be dropped in that. room. (Hear, hear.) No one would say that the amalgamation of the Liverpool and Birkenhead Docks was not desirable. It would remove a hostile trade• which, though it never did any good by itself, was opposed tothena every time. they went to Parliament. This Corporation were the occu- piers of seven acres of land to the west side of the Queen's. Dock, a large• proportion of which waa.covered by ship build— ing, which could be removed to the: -Wallasey estate ; and question might arise whether upon that six, or seven acres of land a dcek.and warehouses could be erected ; and gentlemen would see that there were a variety of questions which wora, have to come before the Council before they went to Parlia- ment.- With reference to the question of management, he would observe-that the Council had n.veto upon the proceed- ings of the Dock Committee; and,:, if the Dock Committee should aome to a resolution which would be injurious to the Council, they would be prepared to exercise that veto. But he was not afraid of the Dock Committee ~ the two bodies were one—(hear, hear,)—long might they. remain so. Hoaitur said that in the agrangensents the Corporation were running the risk of some ultimateloss, but he did not think there would be any loss eventually,, because he was perfectly satisfied that the Birkenhead property would increase ie value exceedingly within the next few‘ years, and that any loss they might incur would be amply compensated for by the benefit to the -trade and port of Liverpool., He agreed with Mr. Dover that it was for the benefit of Ifiverpool that the dock 3a-tension scheme bad been considerably, curtailed, but he must differ from Mr. Dover as to the opinion. expressed with regard to its bating the duty of the Couneitto moult only the interests of the tradesmen of Liverpool,, and not the benefit of the port itself. Mr. JAMES HOLME expressed his regret that Parlia- ment had not sanctioned the•proposal for going on with the whole scheme. One object of that scheme was to provide for those important branches.of trade, which had been sent to the Thames, the Clyde, the .Tyne, and the Humber. (Hear, hear.) The timber trade could not exist much longer in the position. in which it was, and it- only existed now by the sacrifice of £12,000 a year upoa the Harrington Dock, estate, and this, would continue until.soine provision was made either at Bir- kenhead or the north end of the town. It was literally impos.. sible to go on much longer without a great sacrifice, and this. could only be avoided by the north-end scheme being carried out. He defended the scheme generally on the ground of its absolute cheapness and comparative advantages ; in proof of these averments, he went into a calculation showing- the effects of it in various ways. He also dwelt on the advantages offered by the scheme, as one which could be carried into effect gradually ; and in conclusion he, main- tained, the more the scheme was considered and understood the more- it would meet with general approbation. (Hear, hear) After a few observations from Mr. Holt and Mr. Woodruff—Mr. C. TURNER remarked that it waspremature to discuss. the terms on which the Birkenhead estate was to be taken by the dock trustees. He combatted the opinions ex- pressed by Mr. Sheil, and expressed himself as unable to com- prehend the source from which they sprung. The members of the Dock Committee were elected by the Town Council and the dock-ratepayers, and it comprised several of the principal merchants, and others interested in the trade of the port. Gentlemen who had no private interests. in the matter, but whose chief object was to see the affairs of the trust adminis- tered for the public benefit. He expressed entire concurrence in the views so clearly laid before the meeting by Mr. James Holme, whose able statement he should not weaken by any attempts to illustrate it, but should content himself with moving that the proceedings of the committee be confirmed, which was unanimously carried. The proceedings of the Law Courts, St. George's Hall, and Education Committee were read and confirmed.— The proceedings of the Health Committee having been read and confirmed, the vacancy in the committee, oc- casioned by the retirement of Mr. Bigham, was filled up by the appointment of Mr. Sheil.—On the proceedings of the Water Committee being read, a short discussion arose as to the present water supply, the probability of receiving an early supply from Rivington, and the propriety of putting down a third pumping engine at Green-lane. The proceedings were confirmed.—The minutes of the Library and Museum Com- mittee were also read and confirmed, the name of Mr. Sheil being added to the committee.—On the proceedings of the Hackney Carriage Committee being read, condemnatory re- marks were made by several members as to the way in which omnibuses were overloaded, after which the discussion dropped, and the proceedings were confirmed.—Some further routine business was then disposed of. Mr. Henderson withdrew a motion of which he had given notice relative to the making a,. road through the Newsham House Estate, and the Council adjourned. A RETURN', published last week, gives a list of officers who have applied for compensation for losses of horses, mules, and baggage, during the campaign. The total amount granted was £8,846 13s. 11d. The greater portion of the claims are for chargers killed in action, lost at sea, &c. IT is understood that a portion of the Foreign Legion, now being organised and drilled at Shorncliff, will be in such an advanced state of discipline as to be ready for embarkation about the 20th instant. The destination of part of these troops is the Baltic, and the remainder the Crimea.

THURSDAY. The Speaker took the Chair at noon. The house went Into committee on the Nuisances Removal Bill, and clauses from 1 to 16, after several verbal amendments, were agreed to. COAL MINES AT HERACLf.A..—In reply to Mr. EWIRT, Mr. WILSON said, the quantity of coal produced at Hernelia and other places on the south coast of the Euxine had increased to 60,000 tons per annum, sufficient for the supply of the French and English navies in that sea; that the royalty payable to the Turkish government was 10s. per ton, and the cost of the coal was 15s. per ton, making the total cost on board 255. ' • but it was expected that it would be reduced to about 20s. per ton; and that the quality of the coal was very good. THE POLICE.—The conduct of the police towards the public in Hyde-park and elsewhere was made the subject of a pro. longed and irregular discussion.—Mr. ROEBUCK alluded to a special case of alleged brutality, perpetrated by a constable on a man sitting peaceably in a news-room, upon which Sir G. Grey promised that investigation should take place.—The HOME SECRETARY afterwards said, in answer to Mr. J. G. Phillimore, that no special or general inquiry would be insti- tuted concerning the conduct of the police in Hyde-park. The house went again into committee upon the Tenants' Im- provements Compensation (Ireland) Bill, and the entire evening was expended upon the 14th clause—an important one—the debate being diversified by the discussion of a question respect.. ing three disputed votes, which was referred to the Speaker. Ultimately, the clause was negatived by 138 to 102.-11 Ir. Sergeant SUER appealed to Lord Palmerston whether, after this decision, he would go on with the bill.—Lord PALMERS- TON reproached Mr. Shee somewhat severely for the course he had taken with reference to this measure.—Mr. Sergeant SHER retorted with much bitterness, and, after a smart re- joinder from Lord PALMERSTON, the Chairman reported pro- gress.—The question concerning the disputed votes, which Involved points of some nicety, was then considered and adjudicated upon by the SPEAKER. The Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Bill went through committee. _ _ _ —iiie;;Mendments to the Endowed Schools (Ireland) Bill were considered and agreed to,

HORTICULTURE: To PRESERVE A. BOUQUET.—A florist of many years' ex- perience gives the following receipt for preserving bouquets for an indefinite period, which may be useful to our lady readers :—" When you receive a bouquet, sprinkle it lightly with fresh water. Then put it into a vessel containing some soap-suds ; this will nutrify the roots and keep the flowers bright as new. Take the bouquet out of the suds every morn- ing and lay it sideways (the sock entering first) into clean water; keep it there a minute or two, then take it out, and sprinkle the flowers lightly by the hand with water. Replace it in the soap-suds, and it will bloom as fresh as when first gathered. The soap-suds need changing every three or four days. By observing these rules a bouquet can be kept bright and beautiful for at least a month, and will last still longer in a very passable state ; but attention to the fair but frail crea- tures, as directed above, must be strictly observed, or will perish. FLOWER GARDEN.—With few and comparatively short ex- ceptions, the weather has not been sufficiently warm for the bedded-out stock making rapid and vigorous growth, but so far everything seems to keep perfectly clean and healthy, and is growing slowly. Watering must still be well attended to, especially where the soil is of a light dry nature ; and as the roots are yet near the surface, this should not on any account be neglected a single day, after the plants begin to feel the want of moisture. Where the soil is of a stiff tenacious cha- racter, it will be advisable to give a thorough soaking when watering is necessary, as frequent waterings on soils of this nature cake and harden the surface to a most injurious extent ; and as soon as the surface soil is sufficiently dry after watering, it should be lightly broken up, using a short-headed rake with short blunt teeth, or a small Dutch hoe, and taking care not to injure the roots. Get annuals thinned before they grow into and weaken each other, for if left to stand too thick they never flower finely, nor make half the display of plants that are afforded plenty of room and grown strongly. The early-flow- ering bulbs, as tulips, hyacinths, &c., should not be left in the ground after the decay of the foliage, as if wet weather occurs they will make fresh roots, which weaken and injure the bulbs. FRIIIT.—The bright warm weather which we are now en- joying will cause the peach and other trees to grow away freely, and on light shallow borders watering may be neces- sary, and if so use water that has been some time exposed to the sun, mulching lightly with rotten leaves to retain the moisture as soon after watering as the border will bear treading. Weakly trees would be benefited by mixing with the leaf-soil a portion of good rotten dung. But where the trees are at all inclined to make gross wood, mulching should not be practised. Stop any gross shoots, or remove them alto- gether if they can be spared, and endeavour to equalise the growth as much as possible, so as to get the trees well filled throughout with bearing wood. Look to the preparation of strawberry plants for forcing next spring, and do not allow the beds of this favourite to want for water until the fruit is be- ginning to ripen. THE GREENHOUSE.—In choosing a locality for the green- house-plants in pots to stand in during the summer and au- tumnal months, we should prefer a situation shaded during a portion of the day from the rays of the sun, yet free from the drip of trees,-open, and well ventilated. It is also of the highest importance that the spot should be well drained, and if it is not so naturally, artificial means should be employed for the purpose, for in the event of continued rains, it would be highly injurious to the plants if the water did not pass freely and rapidly from the surface. Having fixed on the spot,the surface should be rendered quite smooth and level, and covered an inch thick with sifted cinder ash, which when well rolled makes a good surface on which to set the pots. But better than this, though somewhat more expenSive, is a layer of thin slate, the common house slate will do, which possesses two great advantages ; first, it prevents the entrance of worms into the pot, which is a great evil; and secondly, it prevents the hole of the pot from becoming filled with earth or ash, and thus impeding the free flow of the water.—Bell's Weekly Messenger.

Anderton be appointed to succeed Mr. Walter as clerk to the magis- trates; that Mr. Ellis be appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the promotion of Mr. Anderton—the salaries of each to be £l5O per annum. It was also recommended that Mr. D. Brown be promoted to the sitnation of summons clerk, held by Mr. Ellis, and that the salary of Mr. Brown be £llO per annum ; Mr. Stubbs to be assistant summons clerk, at a salary of £BO per annum, increasing gradually until it reached £lOO. By these arrangements it was stated a saving would be effected in the annual salaries.—On the motion of Mr. HORNBY, the proceedings were confirmed, so far as these ap- pointments are concerned.—An irregular discussion on the Dock Bills ensued on the motion for confirming the remainder of the proceedings; but, on the suggestion of the Mayor, it was deferred till the subject could be brought on in the regular course. The proceedings of the Finance Committee were then confirmed. WATCII COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee included a recommends- tion that three-eighths of their wages be allowed to Inspectors Atherton and Watmough from the Police Superannuation Fund, they being incapacitated by physical causes from ful- filling their duties, after a service of 20 years.—Mr. HENDER- SON complained of the number of persons allowed to congre- gate in the vicinity of the Sailors' Home, as destructive to the business of the neighbourhood; and Mr. HoDsoN directed attention to the nuisance caused by the occupancy of the building known as the Freemasons' HA as a dancing-room. —Mr. Glemoson• said attention had already been directed to the subject complained of by Mr. Henderson, and the cause of complaint should be removed. With regard to the other, the police, under the circumstances, had no right to interfere. The proceedings were confirmed. DOCK COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee included thereport of the parliamentary sub-committee on the Dock-bill, and on the bill prosecuted by the Corporation for the purchase of the Birkenhead. Docks. Mr, BECKWITH asked whether the Dock Committee' would be bound by the bill to take the Birkenhead docks at the price the Corporation was to give for them ? The TOWN-CLERK, on being referred to, said by the clime of the bill the Corporation were required to transfer the Birkenhead docks to the Liverpool dock trustees so soon as, the latter body should be authorised by parliament to become' the purchaser,. and the transfer was to be made either upoe, the Corporation being repaid by the dock trustees the whole of their outlay, with interest, oe on, such other terms as might be mutally agreed-upon, and approved by parliament. Mr. WOODRUEr wished to know whether the Corporation was bound to sell upon the terms stateth Mr. ALDERMAN BENNETT also- pet' a question relative to the subject, in answer-to which the Town-Clerk said the Cor- poration were required to sell the Birkenhead docks to the dock trustees upon such- terms as might be mutually agreed upon. The terms wouU come under the.censideration of the council,. and would require to be sanctionedby parliament. Mr. ALDERMAN DOVEg expressed his regret that Liverpool should have laid itself open' to be charged by parliament with not exercising its usual caution at this pectliar juncture in regard to the money market; in going for a bill, with the prospect of an expensive war before them, tedoeble' the dock estate ; and which, disguise it as they might, would have taken the timber trade out of Liverpool to Bootle; to make a second dock estate for Lord Derby. He regarded' the defeat of this bill, fora defeat he considered it, with satisfaction, be- cause it would have the effect of eying a check to that dispo- sition to monopolise the whole business of the docks which hadbeen evinced by the dock trustees: He hadebeen told, when he averred, that the establishment of thie monopoly wouid ruin the master tradesman, that, although destroyed as master tradesmen . these men would. find employment is cooper; porters; and warehousemen in the warehouses- of the Dock Committee, or in those to be erected ; but look-at the. difference 'in their- position. They were now independent men and masters .; • they would then become the serfi 'and. slaves of-the Deck -Committee; and so lo: as he had a seat in the council he would, lift up his voice against the system• which tended to redueo-thern to such a condition. The.- Deek Committee • had .a • deal. of evidence ; they- had evidenee- 're prove that- the 'timber trade could only be carried on at Bootle : the had evidence• to prove that `lsere was a great want of warehouse room in Liverpool, while at the very time; he assured the council upon his honour as aegentieman, one half of the warehouses were- unoccupied, and not able to pay the parish tares.- The evidence of the Dock Committee went for nothing ; but, as •wasethe case with parEamentary corn- - mittees, they listened to parties in private instead of in public: and this was one 'reason why the Dock Committee were net- allowed to perpetnete this monopoly which was nkuady begun,. and which he was very glad to-see was not to be perpetuated. HALUElnsaid if the Dock Committee were allowed to, pueelease the Birkenhead property at cost price, including in- terest, it was quite right • butif they had the option. of re- ducing the price by £200,000P or £300,000, he thought it was - altogether a one-sided bargain. He thought something ought to be done to compelthe Dock Committee to take thisproperty from the Corporation without anyloss whatever, the time being flied at two, three; four- or five years, as might be agreed upon. -Mr: SEIBIL understood that the management of the Birken- head Docks was to be placed: immediately in the 'hands of the Dock Committee. (" Yes.") Well, then; the Cerporati.n were bound in the 'next session of Parliament, or at souse future day, to go and, get permission to sell this property to the Dock •Trustees, and the Dock Trustees werealso to get permiSsion to purchase on such terms as both sides.might mutually agree upon. These provisions appeared to be objectionable, for this -reason. The Corporation were putting_ the mao4gement 71f ti it ra-spe: ty Into the flatus er body whose feelings were not likely to be in favour of .Torking it to the best advantage. He wouldnot do it in his own case, and therefore he would not do it in the case of those who had entrusted their interests-to his charge: He thought the Cor- poration ought to manage the Birkenhead. Docks themselves. The TOWN-CLERK, in answer to questions from Mr. Brad- ley, said the Dock Committee had no•power to take the pro- perty- except upon such terms. as the Council chose to: agree to. If they refused to take it; on thosetermsi.theCorporation must apply to Parliament for an act to repeal the clause,. which, as a matter of course, would in that case be repealed, and the Cor- poration could then manage that estate: Mr. Alderman S. HOLIeE, in a speech of considerable length, deprecated a continuance -of discussion upon the- general question, or doing anything ..which might indicate a division of feeling and opinion upon the subject.more particularly alit was known there were gentlemen in Manchester ready to take ad- vantage of any incautious expression which might be-dropped in that room. (Hear, hear.) No one would say that -the amalgamation of the Liverpool and. Birkenhead Docks was not desirable. It would remove a hostile trade which, though it never did any good by itself, was-opposed to them every time they wont to Parliament This. Corporation were the occu- piers of seven acres of land to the west side of the Queen's Dock, a large proportion, of which was, covered by ship build- ing, which could be remo(red to the- Wallasey estate ;-.and a questicn might arise whether upon. that six or seven acres of land a dock and warehouses- could. be-erected ; and gentlemen would see that there were a variety of questions whiub would: have to come before the Council before they went to• Parlia- ment. With reference- to the question of management, he would observe that the- Council had a' veto upon the proceed- ino-s of the Dock Committee; and, if the Dock Committee should' come to a resolution which would be injurious: to -the Council, they would be prepared_ to,exereise that veto.. But he was not afraid of the Doek„Committee; the two bodies-were- one—(hear, hear,) —long _might they remain so. Mr. Helmer said that in the• arrangements the Corporation were running the riskof some ultimate loss, but he didmot think there would be any loss eventually, because he was. perfectly satisfied that the Bizkenheadlamperty would increase-ut value- exceedingly within the nest-few years, and that any loss they might incur would lie amply compensated for by the benefit to: the trade and port of Liverpool: He agreed with, Mr. Dover- that it was for the benefit of Liverpool that the dceß extension scheme had been considerably curtailed, but he- must dMr from Mr. Dover as :to the opinion. expressed with regardto its being the duty of. the Council, to consult only the interests. of the tradesmen cf. Liverpool,. and not the benefit of the port itself. Mr. JA.ILEIEI,, HOLAgi expressed his regret-. that- Puha- ment had not sanctioned the proposal for going,- on with the whole scheme.. One object of that scheme was to provide for those imports.nthranchesof trade, which hadibeen,sent to the Thames, the-Clyde,. the Tyne, and the Humber.. (Hear,. hear.) The timber trade, could; not exist much longer_ in the position in which it was„and.it- only existed now by the sacrifice of £12,000 a year upon, the Harrington Dm*, estate, and this would continue .until some provision was made . either at Bir- kenhead or the north end of the town. It-was literally- impos- sible to go on much, longer without a great sacrifice., and this could only. be .avoided by the north-end scheme, being carried out. He defended, the scheme generally., on • the. ground of its absolute .cheapness and comparative advantages.; in proof of these. averments,, he went into a zalculation, showing the effects of it in various ways. He also dwelt on the advantages offered by the schemet, as. one which could bo carried into effect gradually ; a4d in conehtsion he main- tained, the more the scheme was. considered and understood the more it would meet with mend. approbation. (Hear, hear) After a few observations. from Mr. Holt and Mr. Woodruff—Mr. C. TURNER remarked that it was premature to, discuss the terms on which the Birkenhend estate was to be taken by the dock trustees. He combatted the opinions ex- pressed by Mr. Sheil, and expressed himself as unable to com- prehend the source from which they sprung. The members of the Dock Committee were elected by the Town Council and the dock-ratepayers, and; it comprised several of the principal merchants, and others, interested in the trade of the port. Gentlemen who had no private interests in the matter, 'but whose chief object was to see the affairs of the trust adminis- tered for the public benefit. He expressed entire concurrence in the views so clearly laid before the meeting by Mr. James Hohne, whose able statement he should not weaken by any attempts to illustrate it, but should content himself with moving that the proceedings of the committee be confirmed, which was unanimously carried. The proceedings of the Law Courts, St. George's Hall, and Education Committee were read and confirmed.— The proceedings of the Health Committee having been read and confirmed, the vacancy in the committe, oc- casioned by the retirement of Mr. Bigham, was filled up by the appointment of Mr. Sheil.--On the proceedings of the Water Committee being read, a short discussion arose as to the present water supply, the probability of receiving an early supply from Rivington, and the propriety of putting down a third pumping engine at Green-lane. The proceedings were confirmed.—The minutes of the Library and Museum Com- mittee were also read and confirmed, the name of Mr. Sheil being added to the committee.—On the proceedings of the Hackney Carriage Committee being read, condemnatory re- marks were made by several members as to the way in which omnibuses were overloaded, after which the discussion dropped, and the proceedings were confirmed.—Some further routine business was then disposed of. Mr. Henderson withdrew a motion of which he had given notice relative to the making a road through the Newsham House Estate, and the Council adjourned. A RETtrinr, published last week, gives a list of officers who have applied for compensation for losses of horses, mules, and baggage, during the campaign. The total amount granted was £8,846 13s. 11d. The greater portion of the claims are for chargers killed in action, lost at sea, &c. IT is understood that a portion of the Foreign Legion, now being organised and drilled at Shorncliff, will be in such an advanced state of discipline as to be ready for embarkation about the 20th instant. The destination of part of these troops is the Baltic, and the remainder the Crimea. [JULY 10, 1856 GENERAL LYTELLIGENCE. Tice Duke of Newcastle has sailed for the Crimea.

IN a few weeks will be offered for PUBLIC SALE, the WOODCROFT ESTATE, freehold of Inheritance, con- taining about 50 acres, situate in the township of Wavertree, on the north or north-east side of Smithdown-lane, and running along Wellington-road towards Wavertree-lane, with which latter it communicates by a new street lately made the whole length of the property. It is proposed to sell the estate in lots of from 10,000 to 18,000 yards, but, if required, it will be sold in such other quantities as may suit purchasers. Woodcroft House, which was built with every attention to con- venience and comfort, with good outbuildings and offices, com- prising about 18,000 yards, forms a very desirable lot. The rapid increase in the population of Liverpool calls for the erection of moderate-sized villas, with good gardens attached, and this estate is particularly suited for this purpose, being within an easy walking distance of Liverpool._ The great sewer now being constructed for the suburbs will af- ford an excellent drainage.

IT was generally expected that another attempt at a demonstration in Hyde-park would be made on Sunday, and the expectation was partly realized People began to pour into Hyde-park in the afternoon, by two o'clock, as if there had been no such thing as a policeman or soldier in existence, and by three a concourse had assembled little inferior in point of numbers to the monster gathering of the previous Sunday, the park being left to their undisputed occupation; for the police were not paraded upon the ground in strong detach- ments, nor hidden behind trees, or in the gardens near the barracks, or in the Humane Society's house, as was the case before; not more than about twenty men of the A division being visible, stationed in couples in various parts of the park, quite away from the general gathering point, and at the park gates, especially at the entrance to the grand drive, to warn the occupants of carriages not to pass that way, owing to which only two or three gigs and a couple of horsemen passed along the drive during the afternoon. Those who thus faced the crowd were received with cries of "Go to church" from a lot of noisy boys, but, to judge by their laughter, more to their amusement than annoyance. The crowd, finding nothing to expend its energies upon, gradually broke up into clusters, and meetings, if they could be so called, were held in various parts, where speeches were delivered by persons having the appearance of working men. Altogether— with the exception of the boys—the conduct of the men was beyond cavil, although the aggregate of the assemblage was less respectable in point of dress than on the previous occasion. Everything proceeded, if noisily, at least peaceably, until about 5 o'clock, when a crowd of boys, finding no carriages to hoot at in the park itself, rushed out at the Apsley house-gate, and commenced hooting carriages passing down Grosvenor- place, following them into Belgrave-square, upon the east side of which they found a quantity of straw spread over the car- riage way, in consequence of the illness of the Earl of Sefton, who resides in the adjoining house, and to which, piling it in heaps, they proceeded to set fire, to the terror of the neigh- bourhood. A gentleman coming out of one of the houses expostulated with them upon their conduct, but the only reply was a volley of stones, which had the effect of driving him in-doors, and his assailants then proceeded to smash the windows of that and the adjoining houses, breaking all in the lower rooms, which were not protected by sun-blinds. They then proceeded down Halkin-street, smashing the windows on each side, and out to Grosvenor-place (at its upper end), where they did the same. Then retracing their steps along the east side of Belgrave-square, they recommenced opera- tions in Upper Belgrave-street, smashing all the lower win- dows indiscriminately; and along the east side of Eaton- square, where, especially at Farrance's Hotel, the smashing was frightful. Wilton-street was next submitted to a similar process ; and in the lower part of Grosvenor-place scarcely a pane of glass in the lower apartments was left whole. They next tried their hands in Grosvenor-street West, in- habited principally by tradesmen, and were in full operation when the approach of a strong detachment of the D division of police put a stop to their wanton spoliation, and scattered them at once. Detachments from the A, B, L, and other divisions were speedily upon the spot, and prevented anything like a recommencement of hostile operations. They took pos• session of the parts attacked, prepared to give every protection that might be required. It was immediately after the com- mencement of the outrages just recorded that an occurrence took place at the upper end of Grosvenor-place, nearly opposite Halkin-street, which threatened for a moment or two to as- sume the serious features of a popular outbreak. An inspector of police was passing southward, from the park, accompanied by three constables, when a stone was thrown, which struck one of the latter on the face. The officer turned round, and seized a man whom he supposed had thrown the stone, but he denied the fact. The constable, however, persisted; and with his companions proceeded to drag the man along, when the crowd interfered for his rescue, closing upon the police, who at once drew their truncheons, and laid about them right and left. The people gave back blow for blow, using sticks and stones freely, and in the end bonnetted the police, who, being overpowered by numbers, were compelled to give up their prisoner. Elated by this tri- umph, the mob exhibited symptoms of a disposition to use their power arbitrarily, by refusing to allow carriages to pass, but the second vehicle happened to be the cabriolet of Lord Cardigan, whose features being recognised, the word was passed along, and the crowd opening with a loud outburst of cheers, his lordship passed freely along, with all the triumph of a popular ovation, which he acknowledged by bowing from side to side. Directly afterwards the police arrived in force, and with very great temper and moderation cleared the car- riage way, and advised the mob to disperse. Gradually the crowd thinned, many people passing back into the park, but the majority trudging homewards. The window breaking occupied not more than a quarter of an hour, and was the work of boys and lads of the lowest grade, sympathised with, and perhaps incited, by some of those disreputable characters who are always to be found at large as- semblages. The police were kept on duty during the whole of the even- ing, and large numbers of people continued to assemble in and near the park until dusk, but fortunately without the occur- rence of further outrage. Among those whose windows have been more or less in- jured are his Excellency Count Kielmansegge, (the Hanoverian Minister,) Sir James Graham, the Dowager Countess of Somers, the Duke of Marlborough, Farrance's Hotel, the Earl of Gifford, the Hon. Mrs. Arden, Sir J. Buller East, M.P., Admiral Sir George Seymour, Sir Duncan Macdougall, the Earl of Sefton, the Archbishop of York, the Duke of Mon- trose, Lord Charles Wellesley, and very many others. Ad- miral Seymour, on coming out of his house to remonstrate with the mob, received a violent blow on the head with a large Stone, and before he could get within doors he received a second blow with a similar missile on the side of his head, from which the blood flowed freely. He was assisted into the house by his servants. The destruction at the Duke of Marl- borough's, at Farrance's Hotel, the Hanoverian Minister's, and Lord Charles Wellesley's, was very great. BABIES BY THE HUNDHED.—OH the Ist of April, a train on the Michigan Southern Railroad, from Adrain to Chicago, numbered twenty-three cars, twenty-one of which contained nine hundred and fifty-four passengers, and there were twenty- five babies in each car, or an aggregate of 225 babies—bound to Chicago and the West.—American paper. A MONSTER SIXPENNY EXCURSION.-0/1 Monday, many thousands of the poorer inhabitants of Christchurch, Surrey, and its vicinity, through the benevolence of the rector, the Rev. Mr. Brown, and a committee of ladies and gentlemen, left the South-Western Railway terminus for Richmond, and other places, for a day's excursion, at the small sum of six- pence for each passenger, the rest of the expenses being defrayed by the rev. gentleman, the committee, and some wealthy in- habitants of the parish. OUR readers may remember a certain Mr. Edward O'Flaherty. the pet of the Popish Brigade and the Peelites, and, by favour of his political friends and patrons, once upon a time Irish Commissioner of Income-tax, who made himself scarce some time ago, and departed in the odour of forgery. A recent trial in the Irish Court of Queen's Bench has set the seal of evidence upon the rumours current at the time, and there can no longer be any doubt, nor need there be any delicacy in stating, that the boon companion and confidential adviser of more than one member of the Aberdeen Cabinet is a common forger.—John Bull. bg The Imperial Society of Acclimatation" has just closed its session by a sitting at which some interesting communications were made. One was to the effect that 155,000 tubercles of the dioscorea batatas of China, which can very satisfactorily in cases of emergency replace the potato, have been distri- buted, with proper instructions for their cultivation, amongst the various countries of Europe. Silk worms, from China, had arrived at maturity at Paris and at Turin, for which the leaves of the ordinary oak of Europe will serve as food; and, in addition, the acorns of two kinds of oaks growing in China, and much liked by the worms in question, have been brought over and planted. M. Guerin Meneville exhibited to the mem- bers some pieces of plush of great beauty made by a manufac- turer of Paris from the silk of the oak worms. PRESENTATION OP A BURMESE BELL TO THE CITY OP Yoatc.—Our readers will probably be aware that the officers of the 51st Regiment had decided on presenting the city of York with a bell which was taken at the capture of Rangoon, in April, 1853, in which achievement that gallant regiment took distinguished part. Arrangements were subsequently made by the Lord Mayor for the reception of the curiosity, and the interesting ceremony took place on Tuesday last. The bell, which weighs nearly 6 cwt., and is covered with Burmese characters, said to be quotations from Bhuddist works, arrived in the morning of that day, and was suspended from a triangle in the Guildhall. Captain Irby (who presented the bell) said he had been commissioned by the officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers of the 51st Regiment, to present the trophy of war before them to the ancient city of York. The bell had been brought from Burmah, having been captured at Rangoon by the 51st Regiment, who played no mean part there during the late war. The bell was captured from a pa- goda at Rangoon, and the regiment valued it as a memorable trophy of their success during the Burmese war.—York Hera- - THE most interesting topic of discussion lately has been the cause of the failure of the attack on Sebas- topol on the 18th of June. It appears, from all the accounts which have been received---the official de- spatches both of the English and French Generals, and the letters of several correspondents---that, al- though there was much blundering and confusion of arrangements, no especial blame attached to any indi- vidual in particular. There was evidently much anxiety on the part of the Allied troops to comme- morate the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo by a general rivalry to excel each other in feats of bravery, and to mark the day by a crowning achievement which would realize the long delayed expectations of the capture of Sebastopol. It is not denied that judi- cious arrangements had been made for the accomplish- ment of this object ; but unfortunately the best designs may be irretrievably damaged by an apparently trivial accident. As the various divisions of the attacking army were necessarilydout of reach of receiving direct instructions for their operations, it was concerted that the party in advance should be guided by the signal of a discharge of star-rockets ; but, while waiting for this sign, the officer in command observed a shell with a blazing fuse, and, mistaking it for a rocket, gave the order to advance, though contrary to the advice of his staff. There was, no doubt, an enthusiastic desire to be the first ; but, unfortunately, the movement was precipitate, the attacking party were not properly sup- ported, from those intended to support them being too far in the rear. This necessarily created confusion as far as the arrangements of the French were concerned for the assault on:the Malakhoff Tower ; whilst the English, unwilling that their part of the duty, which Was an attack on the Redan, should be unnecessarily delayed, gallantly advanced before the French were in actual possession of the Malakhoff. The result was almost inevitable. The French failed owing to the officer in command mistaking the signal, and thereby anticipating the movement ; and the English failed because the Redan, being commanded by the other fort, their position, however, gallantly acquired, was utterly untenable so long as the guns of the Malakhoff were in possession of the enemy. It is said that the subsequent plan decided upon is to proceed by sap, and that the operations of General PELISSIEE for this pur- pose are progressing favourably. Whilst, however, great credit is due to all the parties engaged for the consummate bravery which was displayed, the officers fearlessly leading on their men, as shown by the great disproportion in the lists of killed and wounded, it has been remarked that the probabilities of success would have been enhanced had the operations of the Allies been concentrated on the Malakhoff, although it is also urged that the assault on the Redan was so far useful inasmuch as it served to divert the attention of the Russians. Supposing, however, the Malakhoff to be gained, the conquest of the Redan would be comparatively easy, as it is com- pletely commanded by the guns of the former. In- deed, it is now evident that the Malakhoff is the key to the whole fortress ; and that, whether taken by as- sault or by sap, its possession by the Allies would give them complete command of the town and harbour of Sebastopol. But while the interest of the war is thus in a mea- sure centred on this renowned fortress,tothe exclusion

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL ,ST.LNIkA.I)..,_ and study of law are solemnising mid ennoblinc, to one actuated by a right spirit," and, based on this conviction, he views it, in connexion with religion, as carrying man directly into the invoked presence of Maker. He further contemplates the Law of Eng- land throughout the whole work as the institution of a Christian-state, having reference to its Christianity. Having adduced this as a fundamental postulate, he, in his introduction, gives the following clear, yet beautiful enunciation of the CONNEXION BETWEEN ENGLISH LAW AND CHRISTIANITY. Our nature is immortal, our destination eternity ; our existence here, transient and probationary. Man, however, is a fallen creature. Almost the earliest exercise of his will was to choose evil rather than good, incurring, thereby, the just but not implacable displeasure of his Maker. His law He has written in our hearts : and when, our nature having become perverse and corrupt, the characters of that law had grown dim and obscure, He was graciously pleased to reveal it, in full distinctness. Thus 'the Diiine'Law is •spoken of as Natural and Revealed ; Christianity being a republication, and ex- ternal institution of natural religion, containing an account of a dispensation of things not discoverable by reason : natural religion being thus the foundation and principal part of 'Christianity, but not in any sense the whole of it. Human laws, therefore, ought to be in -conformity with the Divine Law, their object being the regulation of our conduct towards each other, in this life, as fellow-citizens and neighbours; as It were fellow-travellers, or pilgrims, towards a common 'destiny, having interests, objects, hopes, and fears in common ; being, in fact ~brethren. In this aspect law is indeed lovely ; and from the hallowed lips -of the-Saviour of mankind, we learn that Jove is the very keystone of our relations to our Maker, and each other. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and With all thy soul, and with all thy strength : thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang 1!11 the law and the prophets." From these two precepts may be deduced the-entire code of jurisprudence ; which has thus'a vitality, lustre and authority, not apparent to him who regards it :as a• series of mere arbitrary enactments., .expei*d 'imon the 4mited sphere of action afforded h: 'Luis life olili.Lllhisiieing the, holy and glori"-- t • of enlightened' and equitable laws, as yus roun amhumane, regards alike the making, enforcing, and obey. i!ig them.; let it be received as an axiom, that law and religion are in -their nature inseparable.. -The attempt -to dissever them would be absurd and nugatory : the vitality of law, the force of its sauctions,-Ivogi disappear ; the very foundations of its authority would be.subierted. Such being the very elevated pedestal on which .our aUthor places subject for contemplation, he main- .. tains it in 'the same honourable position *throughout the who le period of his rigorous examination. In preparing the work, which is eminently practical in purpose and execution, Mr. Warren has had a fourfold object in view, each phase of which he has kept steadily in sight during the whole of its execution. The first—indeed the one which pervades and domi- nates all the others—to present a lucid digest of the organic structure of our laws and legislation, practi- cally and philosophically adapted.to the jurisprudence of England, As-that law And legislation exist in 1855. The second, so to arrange and condense it as to confer on his volume the character of a " book of authority" among his professional brethren and fellow-practi- tioners. The third, to provide a text-book for the use of students. The fourth, to furnish the non-clerical public with a comprehensible and. comprehensive manual to which they may refer for the solution of difficulties by which the paths of commercial and social life are frequently encumbered. To accomplish this multiform and important task, fully two thirds of the book have required to be furnished from new and original sources ; and to be so carefully studied as to harmonise with the older matter and the fixed princi- ples of our constitutional law. In accomplishing this task, Mr. Warren has been in the highest degree suc- cessful, displaying the erudition of the scholar—the painstakinc, assiduity of the antiquary—the sharp I acumen or the lawyer—and the balanced wisdom of the sagacious jurisconsult. How far his professional brethren may be prepared to profit by his labours in, it, and from these still farther to exalt the estimation in which they hold him, it is impossible for us to say, and is no part of our duty to consider; but .we run little risk in saying, that even in their jealousjudg- ment this book will win for him additional confidence and still higheresteem increasing the affectionthey have already accorded to him. As abook of reference—an im- partial and dispassionate legal adviser to the general public—it will prove invaluable,.discussing as it does the principles of public law as these apply to the regu- lation of real and personal property—of commercial arrangements and intercourse—of municipal adminis- tration, and parliamentary and municipal elections— of ecclesiastical interference and jurisdiction—of the laws which control matrimonial arrangements, succes sion, and the whole doctrine of inheritance, together' with all the multiform ramifications into whidit these heads severally resolve themselves. To the student it will prove a safe and easy ladder by which he-may with facility ascend into the most eleVated that temple in which justice sits enshrined z and, in, the maxims with which the pages of the book abound, he will find safe counsel and trustworthy guidance. In this light, Mr. Warren's skill is a beautiful last:B,4- tion of the poet's truthful adage— Let those teach others who themselves excel. --- He has laboured with assiduity and success to. overcome the difficulties which beset the entrance to the temple of justice, and having cleared his own path, he grace- - fully turns the radiance of his lamp to guide the hesitating steps of others. With this view,..and: also in the hope of maintaining a well4foundecL veneration for our civil polity, he modestly.:.ventures to suggest it as a fitting manual for the use of our,' highest Academical Institutions, and the book is appropriately dedicated to the Earl-iof Efbrby,. Chancellor of the University of Oxford. It . is-. a well-timed and able contribution to. the, legal literature of England—calm, dignified, andjtidieiaLiiy tone,---its author illustrates points and discusses the deductions from them with the earnest self-con:trot of one entitled to be heard, yet in a manner.: as -much. removed from arrogance, as it is at onee persuasive. Aiming at utlity in the strietest.sense,. Mr. Warren has succeeded in uniting :that quality to. a high elevation of sentiment ; and has-recommended: both by their admixture with sound,ijudgment and inobtrusive, though graceful eloquence. .

Familiar as he must be, and evidently is,. with many of, those hidden iniquities by which the monastic system has long been rendered obnoxious, and for which, it has been subjected to j ustr. reprobation and abhorrence, he, nevertheless, abstains. from a display of these, and contents himselfi with inflicting on them a generalized castigation. The book is.well and temperately written ; yet such is, unfortnnately, the inherent pollution of the subject, that, even the most vigilant attention will not secure its, discussion against the intrusion of im- purities. That, Mr, Day has done his best to avoid. these, is plain and obvious enough ;. that he has not been entirely successful, is more the fault of the sub- ject than the. author. A Complete English Grammar, for the Use of Advanced Classes in largo Schools, and for Pupil Teachers. By M. Wilson„ London : R. Griffin & Co. This little and really useful book is by the head master of the. Glasgow Normal Seminary, and is the result of no inconsiderable experience in the nature of of the task included in its compilation. The book aims at philological investigation, and its author's in- tention is to deduce, from that investigation, a gram- matical system which shall, in some degree, at least, accord with the genius of our language. This is, un- doubtedly, the right course of procedure. The work is commenced by a historical introduction, in which the English language is traced through numerous au- thorities, from an early period to the present time. It next proceeds with a systematic treatise on the four great divisions of grammar, illustrating the rules for the arrangement of each by copious extracts, most of which are judiciously selected. It is well suited for advanced students, but better still for those who are desirous of overcoming the deficieuoies of early educa- tion by self culture.: To, such studenit° r:r once us dui and entertaining. ) Tle D üblin University Magazine.

THURSDAY. The Speaker took the Chair at noon. The house went into committee on the Nuisances Removal Bill, and clauses from 1 to 16, after several verbal amendments, were agreed to. COAL MINES AT HERACLIA.—In reply to Mr. EWART, Mr. WILSON said, the quantity of coal produced at Heraclia and other places on the south coast of the Euxine had increased to 60,000 tons per annum, sufficient for the supply of the French and English navies in that sea ; that the royalty payable to the Turkish government was 10s. per ton, and the cost of the coal was 15s. per ton, making the total cost on board 255. ; but it was expected that it would be reduced to about 20s. per ton ; and that the quality of the coal was very good. THE POLICE.—The conduct of the police towards the public in Hyde-park and elsewhere was made the subject of a pro- longed and irregular discussion.—Mr. ROBBITCK alluded to a special case of alleged brutality, perpetrated by a constable on a man sitting peaceably in a news-room, upon which Sir G. Grey promised that investigation should take place.—The HOME SECRETARY afterwards said, in answer to Mr. J. G. Phillimore, that no special or general inquiry would be insti- tuted concerning the conduct of the police in Hyde-park. The house went again into committee upon the Tenants' Im- provements Compensation (Ireland) Bill, and the entire evening was expended upon the 14th clause—an important one—the debate being diversified by the discussion of a question respect- ing three disputed votes, which was referred to the Speaker. Ultimately, the clause was negatived by 138 to 102.—Mr. Sergeant S]IEE appealed to Lord Palmerston whether, after this decision, he would go on with the bill.—Lord PALMERS. TON reproached Mr. Shee somewhat severely for the course he had taken with reference to this measure.—Mr. Sergeant SHER retorted with much bitterness, and, after a smart re- joinder from Lord PALMERSTON, the Chairman reported pro- gress.—The question concerning the disputed votes, which involved points of some nicety, was then considered and adjudicated upon by the SpEAKEit. The Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Bill went through committee. The amendments to the Endowed Schools ( Ireland) Bill were considered and agreed to.

I IVERPOOL ROYAL INFIRMARY.---It is 1 with much regret that the Committee find themselves com- pelled to make an urgent APPEAL to the Public on behalf of this Institution, Owing to the serious diminution in the Income, from a railing oil in Donations and swinnwtml, in 185 2, t05e2,219; 1853,e1,315; 1854,4'775; and thehigh pricesof all Articles of Consumption, the past year closed with a heavy Debt of nearly .€1,400, which is daily increasing, from the same causes being still in operation. Unless this be checked by timely suc- cour, no alternative will be left but to curtail the Relief hitherto afforded to the Sick and Disabled Poor of the community; a course much to be deprecated, and one from which Cie Committee hopefully trust the Public will spare them the necessity of re- sorting.

CAUTlON.—Milners' Holdfast Safes are of three qualities— the cheapest superior to any other safes—and range under three Lists, namely, Milners' Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 2, at Ms. per foot; Milners' Strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 3, at 15s. per foot; Milners' First-class Strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 4, at 20a. per foot. ;The public are deceived by comparisons being made between the prices of the latter superb class of Milners' Safes and the inferior articles offered by incompetent makers to booksellers, ironmon- gers, brokers, or any others who will incur the serious responsibi- lity of selling them, which are really worthless articles, and dear at any price.

True pride and real dignity equalise all men by right of their common humanity : our social pride is only a make-believe, after all ! The French fashion of setting one day apart for morning visits, and of thus doing penance pleasantly and becomingly, is a fashion worth considering. In Paris—in all French towns, in fact, where there is any society at all—on a certain day in the week, perhaps it may be only once a fortnight, the lady of the house is "at home." She dresses herself in her most fascinating toilet, arranges her bouquets and her vases, takes up a piece of gorgeous work, and sits in pretty state, waiting for her visitors. All the world— her world at least—arrives. Ladies in elegant dresses, gentlemen well got-up, "palfaitement bien vases," nay, even little children, smart and gay—for the French live much more with their little children than we do—flock to the house. All are sprightly as a crowd of painted parroquets, and about as noisy ; pleased with themselves and all the world, chattilng with their hostess and with each other—for abroad, visitors meeting under the same roof speak without introduction. Each person on the visiting-list of a responsible person being assumed to be respectable, unless proved the reverse---in England it is exactly the contrary---all enjoy themselves more during that social scourge of ours---the morning call---than we do in our finest evening parties. In fact, it is a party in bonnets instead of in wreaths. Now, is not this a more amusing, and so far a more rational, way of seeing one's friends than ours ? Society is here a business ; there a pleasure. Does not this explain much of the difference between us ? But morning-calls are not the only social forms in which we are beaten hollow by our allies. They under- stand society in all its forms better than we do, and carry the art to the highest point of perfection. As a rule, they seldom give dinner-parties. The rich who do, manage in this as in their soirees, and "at homes." Their dinners are mostly general invitations to-a select few, once a week, or once a fortnight, as the case may be. Of course, we do not mean to say that they never give dinner-parties by private and exceptional invita- tion as we do, but the proportion to ours and to their soirees is very small. They thus get rid of expense, and oftentimes of dulness, in favour of their easy, simple, brilliant, animated evenings, which have more life and less luxury in them than we can imagine, unless we have seen them for ourselves. Their soirees are delicious. There is an ease about their tone, a want of formality and stiffness, that gives them a won- derful charm, especially when we have been bored into mental atrophy by the starch and buckram of our own drawing-rooms. People come in every kind of toilet, at least to the weekly evenings, where there is nothing special going on : if there is, special requests are made, and special rules of costume observed. Some are in quiet morning-dresses—quiet, but so graceful !—and others in brilliant ball-dresses, or in opera-costumes, calling in here on their way to gayer places, fluttering in like beautiful butterflies, as bright and as fleeting, just to have a pleasant chat of a few minutes, and then off to their grander entertainment. But they make at, sensation, our finely-plumed visitors ; and who does not appreciate the luxury of that In fact, the weekly soirees of most French houses are merely visits trans- ferred to the evening instead of the morning, as their morning-calls are parties held by daylight instead of waxlight. It is a pleasant mode of seeing one's friends alto- gether. It costs little, and that is of consequence, since it happens frequently. A little tea, and a few more lights, make up the sum of the expenses to the host ; and the economical who visit him—or rather her, for madame is chief and ruler chez elk—may walk if they will, and if they live near enough ; or come in omnibusses, if they will, and the correspandance suits ; or do anything else they will in the way of simplicity and economy—wisely thinking that society is to be an amusement, not an inconvenience, and that because a man goes among his friends he need not, as a natural consequence, go into the insolvent's court as well. With us, society is much too expensive. It is a com- mon remark, that a man may live well enough on such and such an income, "if he keeps no society." In France, on the contrary, the poorest may see their monde; and they do : for their monde go to them for pleasure, not for luxury ; and pleasure means gaiety even in simplicity, and not expensive dulness. IARD. As for balls, there is no national contrast in them— they are much the same in both countries; with this difference, that they dance oftener in France than in England. Frequently a dance is got up in those simple weekly soirees we have been speaking of ; and there is so much artistic education in France, that you always find one or more in the room able to take the orchestra, able to play with good accentuation, and in perfect time—the two necessaries of dance music. So there is no expense of a band ; no expense of suppers, excepting when the ball is a grand affair— the house event of the season: but in general, alittle tea and negus, and syrup and water, with a fet bis- cuits, are found quite sufficient for refreshments. In England, the smallest "carpet dance" is a great ex- pense in refreshments only; not to speak of the wear and tear of temper, and time and trouble, the up- setting of the house, and the revolutionising of society, that follow as natural consequences. But really we think people might move about a room quickly, and in certain patterns, without causing a family fever ! In fact, we want simplicity in our society, as we want ease in our manners. We are so formal, and yet so fussy—so expensive, and yet so dull, that " society " hangs like a dead-weight round the neck of every householder. We are all bored ;we are all borers.; and none will try to introduce reforms in this over- powering mass of Boredom, everybody contenting himself with looking on in grim objection, and think- ing his recorded protest all the work he has to do. Let us have society, by all means---plenty of it. It is good to see our fellow-creatures often and pleasantly ; but why must we always eat -in company, like cows and sheep ? Why can't we meet for love, not luxury ; for pleasure, not show_; for happiness, not ruin ? Why must we make a feask when Jones, Brown, and Robinson, who dine on mutton-chops at home---as we ourselves do---come and dine with us instead ? Why can't Jones, Brown, and Robinson eat mutton-chops at our house as well as at their own? And why should we try to make them believe that our general diet is turtle and venison ? These are vital questions, worth considering and worth answering. We are too expensive and too stiff in all our social life. The conditions of our society are buckramed and bedizened out of all shape of nature' and all power of attainment by people of middling fortunes. We will not speak to those we know perfectly well by sight, name, and reputation, without a formal introduction ; and we speak to those to whom we have had a formal introduction, as if our minds were stiffened into mere dictionary columns, without a single thought or feeling in them ; we see our friends only under circumstances of relative pomp, and parade, and expense, and eschew as mean all simplicity and modesty. Well, all this is very unwise. We might do better. -We might take a lesson from our neighbours in the whole art and. management of society, and we would be much better off for it ; for if we could once unstrap that, buckram- belt round our hearts when in the world, and once see the beauty of naturalness in manner, .and of simplicity in life, we would never go back to the old ways of reserve and luxury, but would laugh when we wanted to laugh, and speak to any of our same circle we wished to speak to, without fear of compromise to ourselves or of repulse from them ; and we would see our friends without parade, and enjoy the pleasure of social inter- course without fuss, expense, or pomp.--- Chambers.

THE CHAMPION or THE SEAS, belonging to Messrs. Jas. Baines and Co., sailed on Thursday, on her second voyage to Melbourne, with a heavy mail, 500 passengers, and a full cargo, in which is included several railway carriages, and a quantity of iron rails, for the railway between Geelong and Williams- town. THE LIVERPOOL BANKS.--The Union Bank has declared a dividend of 3 per cent. on the capital stock of the company for the last half-year.—The Royal Bank, on preference shares, has declared the payment of interest after the rate of 5 per cent. The Borough Bank has declared a dividend of 7 per cent. on the paid-up capital of the company, for the last half- year. COMITY VOTERS.—Persons entitled to vote in elections for the county would do well to remember that their claims to be put on the register must be sent to the overseers of the parish in which their property is situate before the 20th instant. Those already on the list, and who may have changed their residence, must also give the overseers notice of their proper place of abode. - SERIOUS ASSAULT.—A Greek seaman, named Antonio Fascoritch, was taken into custody on Friday, for assaulting Michael Hanley, a labourer, in the Bramley-Moore Dock. Pascoritch struck Hanley a violent blow on the head with a lump of coal, inflicting a severe wound on the head. The in- jured man was conveyed to the Northern Hospital, where the wound was dressed. AT some vitriol works at Ratcliffe-bridge, Lancashire, on Wednesday night, Robert Chadwick, one of a set of men work- ing during the night only, was found lying on the floor in a quantity of vitriol, about two inches deep, which had flowed over from one of the boilers. He had stumbled and fell. and a suffocating gas had generated with such rapidity, that he could not rise again. He was nearly insensible when rescued by his fellow-workmen, and survived a few days only. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday, Thomas Eves, aged nine years, son of Peter Eves, was playing with a number of other youths about some timber heaps at the south end of the town, when a large piece of wood fell and crushed him very severely. He was promptly removed to the Southern Hospital, where it was ascertained that the lower part of his body and his thigh had been dreadfully crushed. Nothwithstanding every exertion to safe the life of the young sufferer, he died at an early hour on the following morning. DETERMINED SUICIDE.—On Tuesday, an inquest was held on the body of Robert Bullen, aged 47, late a bailiff in the County Court, who died from the effects of a wound of the throat inflicted by himself. It appeared that in March last the deceased cut one of his fingers, and, inflammation ensuing, wastold by a medical man that amputation would be neces- sary. This preyed so much upon his mind that he cut his forearm very severely with a razor, with the intention of bleeding himself to death. This attempt on his life failing, he inflicted the wounds from the effects of which he died a few days since. Verdict, " Temporary insanity." HOLME'S BANK, ISLE OF MlN.—Much dissatisfaction is expressed at the late "break down" of a suit in the Manx Chancery-court, in which an action was brought to recover the penalty of 00,000, on a certain bond given ey the late James Holme, for the payment of notes issued by the bank under the license of the Clerk of the Rolls, and the Receiver- General of the Isle ofi Man. It is supposed that an appeal will ultimately have to be carried to the House of Lords. The money realised from the personal property and assets of the deceased, at present, cannot be much less than £lOO,OOO, and it is suggested that £77,000 should be set aside to meet preferable claims in dispute, snd costs. JUVENILE BURGLARS.—At the Police-court, on Friday, two lads, named William Collier and John McGlone, were sent to gaol for three months, fir% the following impudent bur- glaries. At three o'clock -on Friday morning they were ob- served to go to the house of a Mrs. Thompson, in Giklart- gardens, to open the shutter, take out a pane of glass, and steal a cap. They then went to Ring's sugar refinery, in Ford-street, where they stole a coat and waistcoat belonging to some of the men who work all night. The latter articles were soon missed, information was given to the police, and the prisoners were taken into castody with them in their possession. STEAM FROM LIVERPOOL TO HAVANA.—The Havana, a magnificent screw-steamer, of 1,500 tons, built by Mr. Laird, is to be despatched•on the 17th inst., under the Spanish flag, by Messrs. G. H. Fletcher and Co., of Covent-garden, in this town, as the pioneer of a line of steam vessels to sail monthly between this port and Havana. The Havana, whidi is under the command of Commander Grinda, R.N., has been construct- ed especially for this trade, and is expected to achieve another victory for her eminent builder. The cabins are replete with every possible convenience, and the passengers •are provided for in the most comfortable manner. THE HAT HARVEST is now general in this district, and the crop promises to be most abundant, notwithstanding the late- ness of the spring. In the various townships in the vicinity of Liverpool, including West Derby, Knott's- Ash, and the Prescot and Knowsley districts ; also Walton and the sur- rounding country, The grass is nearly all cat, and a consi- derable quantity of hay has already been housed, The yield is above an average, the grass being very thick at the bottom, and moreover better in quality than in former years, the late- ness of the season having contributed to its .shooting up ra- pidly under the influence of the genial weather which we have had during the last few weeks, and being cut before it could be parched by drought. The corn crops lodk remarkably well especially the wheat, which is generally strong, and in full ear' EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST AJEWELLER.--ISaae Cohan, a silversmith, of Park-lane, was brought up at the police-court, on Thursday, charged with 'buying stolen pro- perty. It appeared that Mr. James Smith, a person connected with the American mail steamers, lost a gold watch value £lB, whilst he was intoxicated in Jamaica-street, on Saturday night. Subsequently a boy, named Sloan, gave the watch to a well- known thief, named Peter Duff, who sold it to Cohan for £l. The policezmade inquiries from Cohan, who at first denied all knowledge of the watch: They got hold of two boys, however, who had seen him purchase it from Duff, and confronting them with him, obliged Cohan to confess that he had pur- chased it. The police then threatened to-search the premises, when he told them that it was no use, as he had already melted sown tue watch. nun, moan, ana uonan were vow- mitted for trial. ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB.—A sailing-match for the grand Challenge Cup, of £lOO value, will take place to-day, on the Mersey. The Cynthia won this prize in 1853, and it was won from her by the Coralle last season. The following is a list of the yachts at present entered:: —Coralie, 35 tons, Mr. A. E. Byrne; Zilla, 21 tons, Mr. G. Harrison; Surprise, 16 tons, treasurer R.M.Y.C. ; Seabird, 33 tons, honorary secretary R.M.Y.C. ; Windward, 16 tons, Mr. W. Sinclair ; Mirage, 18 tons, Mr. G. Woodward ; Spray of the Ocean, 8 tons, Mr. T. Brassey, jun. The Iron Duke, City of Dublin Company's steam-ship, will, we understand, be granted for the use of the members and their friends to accompany the race. Theclub held their monthly dinuer.at the marine sta- tion, Birkenhead Ferry, on Tuesday, the rear-commodore pre- siding, Six new members were elected and others proposed. POSTAGE -or MERCANTILE CIRCULARS.—The following letter, relative to the postal transmission of mercantile cir- culars has been published :—" The Postmaster-General has decided, upon a reconsideration of the question, to admit mercantile prices current to the privilege of registered newspapers, for transmission abroad ; and any renewed application which may be made on behalf of prices current, which have been declined by the Postmaster-General as not entitled to the privilege, will be at once submitted to Lord Canning. In the meantime, prices current, purport- ing to be periodicals, may be sent to the United States at the periodical' rate, one in each cover. They can, of course, be also sent to the other countries referred to. It must be understood, however, that the department cannot ensure that these publications shall be regarded as periodi- cals' in the countries to which they may be sent."—(Signed) T. HILL, General Post-office, London, 4th July. THE LATE ROBBERY OF BANK NOTES IN 141TERPOOL.— In one of the superior courts last week, an action was gained against Brown, Shipley, and Co., finally(nom against the Bank of England,) by a Frenchman, Sul, who cashed, in Paris, a stolen £5OO note, and claimed to have the note honoured. The evidence was complete, that the Liverpool police had served on St. Paul, as a well-known money-changer in Paris, notice of the robbery, of the num- ber of the note, &c. ; that the note was cashed after that notice had been served; and the excuse is, that there are so many of such notices, St. Paul and his clerks could not read all, and had no memory of this particular notice ! We do not, says a contemporary, remember so excessively stupid and wrong a verdict ; and we are disposed to attribute the verdict to the manner of the Chief Justice (Jervis), who ridiculed the witnesses, among others, Keogh, an active officer of the Liverpool police, with whose brogue" his lordship found facetious fault. Verdict for the plaintiff, £534. Execution to be stayed, but no points reserved. SUDDEN DEATH of A PUBLICAN.—John Lynch, publican, 33 years of age,. Fontenoy-street, was found dead in bed at about one o'clock on Friday morning. On Monday, some men were drinking in his house, and one of them called for a quart of ale, which was supplied; but finding that his customers would not pay, he took back the liquor, when one of them, Anthony M`Teigh, a private in a militia regiment, took up a tumbler, and threw it at the landlord, striking him in the mouth, breaking two of his teeth, and cutting him severely in the lip. The offender was taken into custody, and was brought up before the magistrates On Tuesday for the assault, when the deceased appeared against him. The result was, that the militiaman was fined 20s. and costs, or to suffer a month's imprisonment in default of payment. Subsequently, the deceased was affected with nervousness, and remained in bed all day on Wednesday ; but as it was supposed that his ill- ness was the effects of drink, no medical man was sent for. ST. MATTHIA ScnooLs.—On Tuesday, the children at- tending the schools connected with St. Matthias' Church, Great Howard-street, and a large number of friends and visitors, sat down to tea in the schoolrooms, which were taste- fully decorated for the occasion. The Rev. Vincent Sheldon, the incumbent, presided, and opened the proceedings with an address showing the necessity of education in that neighbour. hood, and detailing the improvements that had been made in one of the schoolrooms. The education given in the schools was passable, but far from sufficient. He found that the low rate of payment now made by the children, threehalfpence and twopence, produced during the last year £l6 6s. 4d. The total expense of supporting the schools during the year was £lB6 2s. 10d. The excess was partly met by subscriptions and donations, and by an annual grant of £6O from the old churches committee, leaving, however, a balance of £26 against them. The committee had resolved that the rates of payment shall be raised ; that the number of paid teachers should be increased, and that the quality of education should be improved. He concluded with an earnest appeal to the audience to assist in carrying out the object they had in view. The meeting was also addressed by the Rev. R. Watson, vice-president, a Fellow of Queen's College, Cambridge, and several other clergymen. During the evening a number of glees and rounds were sung by the children. PRESCOT FLOWER AND POULTRY Snow.—On Wednesday the third annual Floral, Horticultural, and Poultry Exhibition took place in a large field at Parkside, Prescot. It was made a holiday in Prescot, all the shops in the town being closed, and the church bells rung merry peals at intervals during the day. A numerous assemblage of ladies and gentlemen gave additional interest to the scene, and two excellent bands of music also imparted much animation and pleasure to the day's proceedings. The company, which was estimated at several thousands, consisted to a great extent of parties from Liverpool anti the neighbourhood, who continued to arrive in succession at Huyton, by railway, and who were conveyed thence to Prescot by omnibuses, and other conveyances, which ran during the day. The exhibition of flowers was in every respect equal, if not superior, to that of the two former years, whether as regards the quantity, variety, or quality. There was a choice variety of fruits. In vegetables there were some mon- ' ster specimens, more especially in rhubarb, lettuce, and cab- bages. There were also some fine potatoes, the Earl of Derby carrying off the prize for the best kidneys. The show of poultry was superior to any that had preceded it. The exhi- bition -included noted breeders from distant parts of the country, as well as the immediate neighbourhood.

THE NAVAL BRIGADE. The detachments from the hard-working and little-noticed Naval Brigade consisted of four parties of 60 men each, one for each column, but only two of them went out, the other two being kept in reserve ; they were told off to carry scaling- ladders and wool-bags, and to place them for our storming- parties. It is not to be wondered at if they suffered severely. On that eventful day 14 men were killed and 47 men wounded. Two men were killed, and several others were wounded, by the bursting of one of our 68-pounders in the left attack. Among the latter was Major Stuart Wortley, who was injured by the explosion. As soon as the two storming columns got out of the parallel the sailors suffered severely. When the men retreated, overwhelmed by the storm from the enemy's battery, several officers and men were left behind wounded, and endured fearful agonies for hours, without a cup of water or a cheering voice to comfort them. Lieutenant Kidd came in all safe, and was receiving the congratulations of a brother officer, when he saw a wounded soldier lying out in the open air. He at once exclaimed— "We must go and save him !" and leaped over the parapet in order to do so. He had scarcely gone a yard when lie was shot through the breast, and died in an hour after. Only three officers came out of action untouched. Captain Peel, who commanded the detachment, was shot through the arm. Lord Raglan visited the wounded in hospital, and made many enquiries about them, OFFICIAL DESPATCHES. A -supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday contains a despatch from the late Lord Raglan, dated BBPORE SEBASTOPOL, June:23. My Lord,—l informed your lordship in my despatch of the 19th instant, that I would make a more special report upon the movements of the third division, as soon as I should receive the reports of Lieut.-General -Sir R. England aild the Major-Generals .commanding brigades under him. The first .brigade, under M.-General Barnard, proceeded down the Woronoff road, and was placed in position on the right of the ravine, ready to co-operate with the columns of .attack on the right ; while the second brigade, under M.-General Eyre, moved down the ravine which separates the left of the English from the Tight of the French advanced works, for the purpose of attacking the enemy's ambuscades, and aking a demonstration on the head of the Dockyar4l. Creek. This service was performed with the utmost gallantry, and, notwithstanding that they were exposed to a most galling fire, the troops maintained themselves in the position they had taken up during the day, and in the evening withdrew un- molested, leaving a post at the Cemetery, which 'had been one of the objects of the attack in the morning. The action having from circumstances become a most serious one, I beg, as the most satisfactory way of making your lordship acquainted with the particulars, to lay a•copy of the Major-General's letter before your lordship, and to solicit your attention to the offieers whose services he particularly notices, and at the same time to his own distinguished conduct. Your lordship will see with concern that the loss-sustained by this brigade is very considerable, and that 141: General Eyre is himself wounded ; but I have every reason to hope that the injury he has received is not very severe, and will not incapacitate him from the discharge of his duty with the same energy and devotion he has already applied himself to its performance during the protracted operations before Sebastopol. The remainder of the despatch bears testimony to the merits of the several officers engaged. (Enclosure 1.) CA.3IP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, JUNE 19. - - Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information of Lieut.-General Sir Richard England, K.C.8., commanding the division, that, agreeably to his instructions, I moved off yes- terday morning, between one and two o'clock a.m., with my brigade, consisting of the 9th, 18th, 28th, 38th, and 44th Regiments—total strength, about 2,000 bayonets—and pro- ceeded down to the ravine on our left, by the French Picket- house, for the purpose of attacking the enemy's ambuscades, and of making a demonstration on that side. In attacking the first of these ambuscades we were antici- pated by the French, who cleverly took them on their left flank as we advanced in front, and made several prisoners. Beyond this the French had no instructions to co-operate with us ; I therefore immediately pushed on an advanced guard, under Major Fielden, 44th Regiment, composed of marksmen from each regiment, supporting it on the right by the 44th and 38th Regiments, and on the left by the 18th Regiment, keeping at first the 9th and 28th Regiments in reserve. The enemy, whose strength I could not estimate, occupied a strong position ; their right rested on a mamelon, their left on a cemetery. hese points were occupied by marksmen. The intervening ground was intersected, and the road bar- ricaded with stone walls, which our men were obliged to pull down, under fire, before they could advance. In rear of this position, towards the fortress, the enemy occupied several houses, and there were bodies of the enemy seen in rear, as reserves, but of what strength I could not say. This position, under the fire of the guns of the fortress, was strong, and we could not expect to carry it and retain it without sustaining a considerable loss, and which, I regret to state, we have experienced both in officers and men ; but it is gratifying to feel that they all most nobly performed their duty on this occasion. The 18th Regiment pushed on, and occupied some houses immediately under the Garden-wall Battery. The 44th occupied some houses on the right, whence they kept up a fire on the enemy's embrasures. Lieut.-Colonel Lowth moved on with his regiment (the 38th), and, after tak- ing possession of some houses in front, endeavoured to turn the flank of a battery which annoyed us in front. These par- ties were afterwards from time to time reinforced or relieved by the 9th regiment, the 28th regiment being drawn up in line in rear to support the whole. Having driven the enemy from these points, I continued to occupy them, with the view to ulterior movements, in the event of the attack on the right being successful, and until it was decided what portion of the ground should be retained for siege operations. I cannot sufficiently express my sense of the conduct of the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men on this occasion. They attacked the enemy in the first instance with the utmost gallantry, holding their ground until late in the evening, al- though exposed all day to a concentrated fire from the guns of the fortress, in addition to which I believe the enemy brought up some field guns, and kept continually firing shells. The losses occasioned were considerable, the total being 31 officers, 44 sergeants, and 487 rank and file killed or wounded. At about five o'clock in the evening, after giving orders for the removal of the wounded to the rear, the gradual with- drawal of the parties from the front—the ground being too far in advance to be permanently occupied for siege operations —I gave over the command of the Brigade to Lieut.-Colonel Adams, 28th Regiment, having received a wound in the head in the early part of the day, which prevented me latterly from attending properly to my duties. The enemy did not attempt to molest the troops on retiring. The conduct of all was so exemplary during this trying day that I can scarcely with justice particularise individuals. I beg, however, to thank the officers commanding corps for the assistance they afforded me—viz., Lieut.-Colonel Borton, commanding the 9th Regi- ment ; Lieut.-Colonel Edwards, commanding the 18th Royal Irish; Lieut.-Colonel Adams, commanding the 28th Regiment; Colonel the Hon. A. Spencer. comma.ndina the 44th Reeimont. who was wounded, and Lieut.-Colonel Staveley, who succeeded to the command of the regiment on Colonel Spencer being obliged to quit the field ; Lieut.-Colonel Lowth, commanding the 38th Regiment, who was also wounded, and to Lieut.- Colonel Sparks, who succeeded him in the command of the regiment; and Major Fielden, 44th, commanding the ad- vanced guard. I received also the utmost assistance from my Brigade- Major, Captain Faussett, 44th Regiment, and also on this, as on many other occasions, from my Aide-de-Camp, Captain Robertson, 4th Regiment. I was also indebted to Brevet-Major Stuart Wortley, Deputy-Assistant-Quartermaster-General, who kindly volunteered to act on my staff. I beg also to report the judicious arrangements of the Medical Department on this occasion, and especially to thank Assistant-Surgeon John Gibbons, 44th Regiment, and As- sistant-Surgeon Jeeves, 38th Regiment, for their zealous and humane exertions in the field while exposed to a most galling fire.—l have, &c., W. EYRE, Major-General. (Enclosure 10.) - - - Statement of casualties on the 18th of June.—Total-21 officers, 144 men, killed ; 68 officers, 1,058 men, wounded ; 2 officers, 150 men, missing.
