LIVERPOOL, MAY 19. THE SHIPWRIGHTS. It is not yet in our power to announce the termina• tion of the differences between the shipbuilders of this pot and their workmen. On Monday last, the appren tices assembled in a considerable body, and, proceeding round the graving docks, caused the apprentices at work therein to leave their jobs unfinished. AR appren tice to one of the leaders of this unlawful assembage, vas apprehended, on a warrant issued at ef e instance of his master, was convicted to hard labour, for three months, in the House of Correction at Preston. 'Wed nesday morning. about eleven o'clock, the journeymen, to the number of belwern 500 and GOO, proceeded to the different graving docks, where men were at work. repaili ng vesse l s , an d i n d uce d t h em to l eave t h e i r work. The numbers increased so rapidly, as to cause considerable alarm, and a strong body of con-. stables, with from seventy to eighty special constables, !ere bran, to th e d oc k s to p rotect t h e wor k men . 9ne bran, a ringleader in the disturbance, was taken into custody, but the constables were speedily over powered by his numerous companions, who, after a struggle, succeeded in liberating him. They then marched in a body to Mosslake fields, whence, after some consultation, they dispersed. They afterwards assembled in small bodies, but nothing further was at tempted. Persons who were able to observe their pro ceedings with c..clness, have expressed their opinion, that no actual violence was intended or wished by the general body, but that their hope was, by a frequent display of their numbers, to intimidate the other men from working, and by exciting the fears of the timid portion of the community, to cause a movement in their favour, which might induce the masters to yield. 14138D011dADARY. • Tula DAT —The Sun enters Taurus, the second spring sign, at ap minutes past II in the evening.

It will last three days, but In that limited period races of greater importance come of than in double the number at most other Meetings. The Stakes bear about the shine proportion in guiding the betting on the Great §e. Leger, as the Spring Meeting at Newmarket do those of the Derby and Oaks, with this slight difference, that the latter being nearer home may, perhaps, exceed in the number of bets, while the St. Leger, though more circumscribed In that respect, is certainly of greater extent ; for larger sums are sported in this great Northern Race,.than on any other Stakes in the Kingdom. The entries for the week are in the highest degree Interesting, Dearly all the favourites for the St. Leger are engaged, and it will be readily supposed that the proof of their right to be so or not is looked for with much anxiety. The Course is in admirable or der, the late rains having sufficiently mellowed the ground, without soaking it; and if the weather continues as it is, the company !nest be numerous; indeed, the city Is rapidly filling.

Two young theologians were arguing very keenly on the doctrine of philosophical necessity ; and when the advocate for liberty was pressed very hard by his opponent, and had nothing more to say for his own side of the question, he attempted to put an end to the discussion, by exclaiming--" I tell you what, I never can t•e brought to admit the doctrine of necessity, for it does away with all idea of virtue." " I beg your pardon,' replied the other, " it does no such thing; fur what can be more common than to snake a virtue of necessity."—Afirror Dr. Cullen has contended that couch can be done towards the cure of the gout by regimen, and has firmly insisted that any man who, early in life, will enter upon the constant prac tice of bodily labour, abstaining from animal food, will entirely be preserved from the disease ; and the Doctor further observes, that this prevention may take place in persons who have hereditary dis positions to the disease, and even when the disposition has disco vered itself by several paroxysms of inflammatory gout. THE WELSH COTTAGERS.—On SAtorday evening last a very respectable Meeting was held, at the New England Coffee...lion e, of Gentlemen connected with the Piincipality of Wales, and others, to receive the Report of the Committee appointed at a preceding Meeting, to consult measures to resist the attempt made by the land-owners in the county of Carnaivon to in clo.e the Llandwrog wastes, an account of which has Already appeared in our columns.—Mr. Griffith 13 ivies, the Secretary, stated, that overtures, a flag of truce, had been sent from the land-owners, but in which the Committee did not deem it prudent to confide..—A series of resolutions were therefore pas t ed, authorizing the Committee to resist the passing of the Bill in the House of Commons, the second reading of which will be moved to-night. One of the largest land-owners in Wales, Co'onel Hughes, has declared his disapproba tion of the measure. Many very animated speeches •sere delivered, and the Meeting separated with the most colifilent expectation of success in their patriotic struggle. , APPRIMENsION OP SHEEN, THE munnkno. i Sa•urtlay night, precisely at flee Minutes past ten o'clock, Sheen the iufanticide was brought to Lambeth-street Polka Mite, in custody of Davis, and placed at the bar before M.Wrert, Rsq. on the verdict returned against him on the Coroner's Inquisi tion, of wilful murder, perpetrated on the body of Me own infant son. Immediately after the hour of post on the morning of the same day, two communications were received from Davis, dated from Kington, or Kyneton, in Herefordshire, the one stating the previous steps he had taken to secure the prisoner, and the other announcing his capture, and that he should arrive in town with him on that night. Though, to prevent confusion, the intelligence was kept as close as it was possible, the fact, in some way got publicity, and spread like vgildfire, not alone through the eastern but western ea. trembles of the Metropolis. From half-past four crowds began to congregate, and at seven o'clock the streets in the neighbourhood presented a dense and almost impenetrable mass of human beings. Eight was the hour at which it was expected the culprit would ar rive, and up to that time the patience of the multitude subdued It self as much as might be calculated on, but when that period had elapsed the most feverish anxiety was manifested, which kept on the increase until ten o'clock. The most absurd reports aud re. moms in the meantime obtaining treacly credence, when the shouts, cheers, and mingled execration. of the mob announced to those in the justice room, that the barbarian bad been taken, and outraged humanity so far avenged. The prisoner was conveyed manacled in a carriage from the Bolt in Tun, and was immediately brought before the Magistrate. He is in appearance about twenty five years of age, fair compleaion, and exhibits anything but that ferocious ex pression of countenance which would indicate the murderer : his manner during the ezaniination was quite self-possessed, and the only degree at agitation that we could perceive was a slight muscular convulsion about the jaw -two. The clothing in which he yea. apprehended was the same in which he made his escape, and even when wolfed the identical p:u sit waistcoat, a description of which was so widely circulated, was on his person. All the parochial authorities, overseers, churchwardens, Ste. were in attendance, and. expressed their approval of the zeal and perseverance of Davis, the officer, which led to the apprehension of so atrocious an offender. The coaminati es was brief, and was as follows : Mr. Wrarr—Davis, who have you got in custody? Davis—William Sheen. Mr. Wararr--eharged un the Coroner's Inquest with Wilful Murder? Davis—Yes, Sir. Dlr WTATT-4)0 you know hint personally, and of your own . . knowledge? Davis—l do, Sir. Me: Wvave—Where did you apprehend him ? • Davis—At a village in Radnorshire, about three miles from Pesibout. Mr. Wvare—He has been in your custody ever since? Davis—He has not left my sight, except when I lodged him for security on Friday night in Birmingham gaol. Mr. Weave:—Did you find any knife or razor on him? Davis—None, Sir. Sir. Weave—The prisoner's identity is fully established, that is sow all faat is neeessary,let him be immediately transmitted to Newgate. _ He was at once removed from the bar and after tefreshing him self In the lock = up room, was placed in a coach, which was M waiting for the purpose, and conveyed under the surveil/once of two hikers to the Old Bailey, followed by the etecrations of a most' indignant multitude. When the office was cleared, Davis was called in by Mr. Weave, (who, conjointly with lilt. HAILDWICK, has left nothing undone to bring the prisoner to justice), and Save the following Interesting narrative of his excursion, And the means he had pursued to accom plish his object : • Davis—" I left town on last Friday night week by the Birming ham coach, understanding that the prisoner had gone in that direc. don. While on my way thither, at about a mile beyond Stratford. upon-Avon, a person got on the coach having the appearance of a discharged soldier, who in the course of conversation told me that be bad exchanged a bat on that morning with a man who said he was going to Birmingham, and who, front the description be gave ate of his clothing, I believed to be Sheen. On my arrival at Birming ham un Saturday about four o'clock, I, without delay, commenced a most diligent search, which I continued, but without success, Shaul half-past twelve. I resumed it on Sunday, and found the per son spoken of abouctwo tieback in the Lamb public-house, in Edg baston-street, who, however, proved not to be the man I wanted. On Monday 1110e1114 I proceeded through Worcester to Kington tit klerefordebite, having reason, from the information I bad received, to believe that the prisoner had shaped his course in that direction. From circumstances that had occurred, it struck me that I was in advance of him; and order this impression I waited on the bridge, at the entrance of the town, for five hours; while there, ' considering the best plan I should adopt,' I came to the condo , don of going to the remotest inn in the town to evade pubil, city and.conceal the object of my journey. While remaining In the town, I deemed it prudent tit communicate with one of the County Magistrates, and inform him who I was, and what I came down about. lin consequence called on Bdward Cheese, Esq. a magistrate and banker, residing ice Kingtoo, and front him received every atsistance possible in his power, both personal anti otherwise; and, indeed, your Worship," said Davis, " I myself cannot be too grateful to hint for his attention, and the public, I think, are In. debted to him for the great exertions be has made on this occasion. Prom him I received a strong introductory letter to Bevan, Esq.• the present High Sheriff for Radnorshire, and from him I also nut with equal assi,tauce. 'I still kept myself as secret as possible. and whenever I received a glimpse of informition I at once was on the* alert. From the number of Sheen's relatives living in the neigh bOurbood and' for 20 miles round Kinston, I was kept constantly on the move, and t fed and searched a number of plane and houses where I thought it likely he might be concealed.-.... While traversing the country, from the fear (dotty being recognised, I assumed the dress of a countryman, and with a smockfreck on I casually went into a public-house, where there were a number of Cardigan drovers, and here I thought my labours would be unsuc cessful ; for one of them having read from a Loudest -pip er an ICCOUtit of the murder, and a description of the murderer, who was at once known, I concluded that such warning would be conveyed td hint as would defeat my object, particularly as they were going among all his friends. I returned. on the same night to Kinston, and on the following day a circumstance occurred which, year IVorship, is rather curious, and enabled me to secure Sheen. Oa the morning of that day, while I was cleaning myself, I left my coat, In the side pocket of which I generally carry my handcuffs and pistols, in the kitchen, and on my return was surprised at finding that the handcuffs had been removed and lying on the coat. This was accounted for 'afterwards by its bring told me that they had dropped out, a circumstance that alarmed me a good deal, as they had my name on them, and would lead, as I aupppsd, to the discovery of who I was, and what was my business. • I A. not much mistaken, for while in my bed-room, the person called on me who had picked up s the handcuffs, and said, 4 ' I know who you are, and guess what your business here is : I can give you some information which 1 think will he of service.' 1 then collected from him such facts and so distinct a trace of Sheen, as induced me to go to Peillbout, taking with me an active constable of Kington, named Yates. fAs my arrival there, I stopped at the Severn Arms Inn, and in the after part of the evening, a man came in, sod asked for the `Landon paperthis be read carefully, and when he had Concluded, first looking inquisitively round the room, he hastily departed in a very agitated manner. His appearance and conduct excited my suspicions; and inquiring from the landlady who he was, sod where he lived, I learned that his name was James, that be was married to Sheen's aunt, and that he lived at about two miles distance from the village. lat once followed him, and saw him enter a house called .the Lane House, in Llanbadenwaur, in Radrtorshire ; and having Ascertained where he resided, returned to the inn, and, accompanied by Yates, went back with the intention of searching the house, but thought it prudent not then to do so, as in the event of his nut being there be would be put on his guard. On second consideration, I came back again to James, house, and having plated Yates at the rear of the premises, I burst in the dour, first giving Yates directions, should he see any one coming out answering the description of Sheen, to secure him ; and, should he attempt to Mae his escape, to fire at hint without hesitation. On going in, I found several people in the house, but not the person I wanted. I a third same returned to my lodgings, and in about titre hours after reaching them, accompanied as before, and making similar ar rangements, having received further information, [west to the saute house, and there secured Sheen. He was sitting at breakfast, in the tbireney-cntner ; and on examining his person, I found on him • shirt spotted with blood, particularly on the neck and right wristband. He came with me very quietly, and when I ap prehended hint, said, ." Oh, Mr. Davis, is it you? .1 shall go with you without any resistance." Thus termlnab d Davis's account, sod, to some questions from the Magistrate, Mr. Wyatt, he said that Sheen had made no confession to him directly, but that he I bad heard him make one indirectly to the landlady sat a public-house in Radnor, to whom he was known, and who asked him" How in the name of Goo came you to do such a cruel thins?" and he replied, It was sot Goo, but the devil." . Mr. Wear? expressed Mama highly gratified at Davis's ezer , tioni, and said he hoped they would not go unremunerated. , ACCIDENT AT TILE THAMES TUNNEL IeanTICULAIIII. S i great is the antreiy of the public to obtain the latest information relative to the accident which has reerraioned the suspension of the works of the above extraordinary unde taking, that during the whole nr yesterday great numbers of persons were anxiour rt their inquiries as to wl.ether the difficulty will be overcome. At low water yesterday afternoon, hle's:so BRUNILL, sen. and jun. descended in the diving-hell, and made a more complete Inspection of the aperture, which is an irely perpendicular, and thetefote will be more easily liked up. Mr. Baumer.b, jun.. spa plied a rope round his waist. and descended in the shaft; he atcertaired that the brick-work still cnnt tinued uninjured. The aperture is rather increased ' the action of the tide since Saturday, but was not suffi. ciently large to admit the bell, o herwise Mr. BRUNELL intended to have gone into the tunnel and made every possible examination of the nature of the soil. For the last three or four d ys the workmen have had but little difficulty in digging the ground, as the soil was ex .rernely loose. and might be comparA to med which had been expsed to t4e action of the sun fr.r . a day or two. The pint to which the workmen bed reached just previous to the accident, was the middle of the river; and, a, a proof of the very thin native of t sort. it is only necessary t s sat: that a spade acciden tally dropped out of the diving-bell, on A formes de. scent, found its way through the sol, and was dug out by the workmen in a very bent state. It has been a.. certained, with some correctness, that only a very short distance from where the accident took place, a strong hard soil succeeds the loose mad where•the accideat occurred. Preparations were made previous to the turn of the tide to fill up the gap irthe bed of the river. A barge full of strong adhesive blue clay had been pro cored, and the workmen, wi,ett the diving-bell had been drawn up, proceeded to thr ow the clay into the river. Mr, linurraLL, s• n is as sangai e as ever, as to the id. timate success of the undertaking, and calculates that when the leak is stopped, the water will be drawn not of the tunnel and shaft in about 70 'hours; Tbrogghtut the whole of yesterday, Mr. Bausat.t. and his soa were on the wen 6 ; and by their confidence inspired a simi. lar.spirit into the minds of the workmen, who at first apps ehended that the accident would prove fatal to the undertaking. and thus a great number of men would have been thrown out of work. Up to slate hour last night, the wqrkmen were throwing clay into the river. It is intendestduring to-day to set the engine at work, in order to ascertain if the aperture is closed. The ((slowing letter was addressed on Saturday by the engineered this undertaking, to the Directors:— Oaretesout—lt will be in the recollection of the Directors, that for some time put, the nature of the ground through which the tunnel was liaising, has been such as to occasion much delay in the works, not unattended with danger, if such a term may be applied to a casualty always contemplated by me as possible. The Direct”ra will, therefore, not be surprised, particularly after my last Report, at the occurrence of au accident which took place last evening at near high water, when the pressure on the shield was nearly at its height. The body of the tunnel is at present filled with water; but I am quite satisfied that the whole of the brick work of the tunnel Is sound and uninjured ; and that the injury is confined to a small spot over the top of the shield, in the frames of which the workmen, for their protection, carry on the eicavatien. " It is extremely gratifying to me to report, that the workmen retired gradually, Without confusion ; and Mr. Beamish, one of my assistant engineers, was the hat to quit the shield, which was thus been proved to be an effectual safeguard against any sudden disaster.
