POLICE. MAX, t oo.lioUil.—Two young men, named Robert and illehai-d Drury, were brought before the ord Mayor OR a charge sit having robbed Mrs. Franck, a widow, of all t h e property, ex cept wale household furniture, which she had left to matutain her self and tour children. From the evidence obtained by Mr. Cope, the Marshal, it ap peared that Mrs. Francis was married to the Captain of a small trading vessel, by whom she had four children. He died suddenly abroad, mitre than a year ago, from some distemper which he en. counter don his voyage. She had but a small sum of money left her, and she endeavoured to pay her rent and maintain her family by letting ult part of her house (No. IS, Jamaica-street, ('ommer. cial.road) in lodgings, until :ate could meet with an opportunity of maintaining herself and family by entering into some small busi ng* at by o ther means. On the 17th of August , however , all her hopes were blaatel. A email box, containing her little pro. party. 771. in money, two gold chain', and same plate, were stoleo. with various other articles, from her bed-room. Amongst other property taken was the miniature of her husband, and, as the only temptation it could have held out was the mere value of the frame, it was presumed that the theft wits perpetrated by some tobber of unusual rapacity. The prisoner (Robert Drury) had lodged for a short t rue in the house of the widow, to whom he appeared to Ire a young man of respectable comusions, living upon some small pro petty, which had been left to him. The other prisoner (Richard) was in the habit of visiting hint. He came on the day when the unfortunate widow was sunk in affliction at her and endeavoured to console her. Ile offered to do any thing in his power to aid in recovering the property, and re csonmendcd, as the best means, that a number of small hand-bills , descibing the property, should be left at the pawnbrokers, where ars property was taken by the thieves. lie engaged to get the bills printed, and to distribute them himself, as he said lie was much about the town. Shortly after the rubtory, Mr. Cope, the Marshal, was applied to, and requested to give his charitable ex ertions in endeavouring to trace the poor widow's property. She ran to Or , Bank, and found that some of the stolen notes, amount ing to SW., had been paid In on the morning after the robbery, and LO sovereigns obtained the them, by some pertain who had given a false came and address. There was, however,one 101. note out, with respect to which she requested the Inspectors of the Hank to be par ticularly alert. A dtv or two attar, word was set that it had come in. It had been presented with a large parcel of note., amounting to upw tad. of MOW/. from Messr. Whitmore and CO. Flom thence it was traced through the hands of some of the moot respectable houses in the City, until it returned to Mr. Kohler s. a furrier, in Cheopside. Mrs. Kohler now deported that the prisoner, Richard Drury. whom she had known as a person who she understood lived as an agent for the purchase and sale of goods, paid her the 101. note for a maffof superior quality, which cost herself 111. Hat Mr. Cope, the Mondial, deported, that on Tuesday week he s • .t, accompanied by one of the city officer', to the house where the prisoner Richard lived. No. I. Buxton-place. Lambeth. It was in the morning, and the prisoner was denied. Ile went in, etowever, to search the house: he stationed an officer below, to ...etch for any one who should a:tempt to escape. Ile found the prisoner in bed. Whilst he was there he heard a window open. and something drop ; he looked out, and saw a picture-frame, whirl( was not there before it was thrown out by Robert Drury. lie friend the whole of the bills which Richard had undertaken to cir culate. Ile had nmulcseribed the articles, so that they would have been of little use if they were circulated. When the empty miniature-frame was shown to Mrs. Francis, 141' her to identity, she uurst into tears, and for sometime appeared to be hysterically affected. She identified it as part of tier pro. ?try. The prisoners, who had both concealed their faces during the ex amination, were then fully committed to take their trials for the capital offence. The Loan Mrtooa, who deplored the calamity which had be taken the unfortunate widow, teid, that great praise was due to Mr. Cope for leis exertions to recover the little Drapery. on which the hopes of herself and children were dependent, though they were unsuccessful. NORTII A M PTONSH IR E NUTTERS. HOW.STREET.—NriteIdSte a gentleman, who stated that he was a Fellow of New College. Oxford. warden of a forest which he named. in Buckinghamshire, and bailiff of the manor on which that rarest is shuate, presected himself before Sir R. Dirnie„ and in a very grave tone requested that he would give his powerful as aistanec in dispersing and putting down a numerous gang of vaga bond nutters, who had made inroads of an alarming kind into the county, and particularly upon the forest which was placed under his special core and control. Art alarming number of idle and dis solute weapons, chiefly from Northamptonshire, had assembled to . • they in Bucks fin the purpose of gathering nuts , a nd the y wan. tiered lITCT hill and dale, and through wood and forest, bidding de fiance to the local authorities. One or two attempts had been made by the loc., police to rout the Northamptonshire mutters, but the sillatrem of Bucks, who appeared to have a sort of fellow feeling in favour of what they perhaps deemed (but very mistakenly) an an cient privilege—a sort of prescriptive right—had joined the North ampton men, and the police themselves werc routed. Sir R. BIRRIE thought it extraordinary that the Bucks local police should be so inefficient, or that the Northamptonahire nutters should he so formidable as to render it necessary fur the warden of a forest and bailiff of a manor in come cameos to London for assist ance. •• What can Ido ?" said Sir Richard ; " I can't call out thomilitary." The applicant said that he did not intend to make such a re. quoit. The object of his journey was, to request that one or two Bow-street officers might be allowed to go down, and Major .Ifansell, a local Magistrate, would siren in any number of special constablea that might be required to assist them. The name of a Him-street officer (continued the applicant) was a " tower of strength" and the presence of one would produce a wonderful ef fect. These " marauders" hod done a great deal of injury by their incursion, and ft was high time they were put down. The Applicant had. a day or two ago, headed a party of the local police, to endeavour to disperse them, but hod got a :macre wound in the howl from a bludgeort, which had been cut in the very forest of which he was the Warden ; and a great many other bludgeons had been cut in the same forest. Upon the occasion is question, the natters were women and children ; aod the villager., in the sume way, assembled, every one of them armed skit some weapon or whet —the men with pitchforks and bludgeons, the women and .•:uielten with any useful hoop/hold utensil that came to hand. 'File corstables were bea:en outrageously. and were fearful of renewing the attack, lest their HIM might be endangered. • Sit H. Ballwin nand he would el eOUrSe have no objection to resider assistance if it was seriously required ; but to do any ef fectual goad he must, he supposed , send at l east one hundred po ites-nflieera, since tin whole pail: eowitatui of the neighbourhood had failed. •" Ott no (said the applicant), one or two OffiftTS would be suffi. eient ; it is not the tiumber, but the name. The name of a BUM. NUeelneittlr would frighten the whole of them." Sir K. Bilt)111: raid that any arninence in the power of the pn ."4 ottli.emtablishment wnethl he granted. the applicant would come in him at his room at the Hume Department, at Whitehall, aesinee o'clock. tie (Sie IL Dirnie) would are Mr. Dawson, th e (ioder s,cietory of State. w h o w ould consider a hat assistance was iimaroary. and give itimetions accordingly. Sir It. 'Dante desired Redneck one of the principal officers, to lot to attendance at Whitehall at the time mentioned, to receive wieitever instructions might be necessary. The applicant, in the retiree of his statement. said he was ad vent by the Duke of Buckingham t) apply to Mr. M in eltull (who is a Magistrate of Bucks) at this office, for the assist. lime which be sought. N'IOLATION OF A CHILD. ItlATTON.GOßTiflu.—liesterdny Mr. Sergeant SILLLON was oe. cimpitd for a considerable time in the investigatiou of a shocking ( . 4 ,,, arge o f i n d e cent es,ault epee the pees sn of a child not more than um or eleven years old. mined Margaret Stunning, the dangliter of poor Irish parents, at present residing in 3litre-court, St. John stseht. .The mother of the little girl, far advanced in a state of preg nant', and who is a rather respectable-Inoleng woman of that chant, was in attendance, and seemed excessively agitated curing the emcee pert of the examination. Isfeetin Ave is the name of the acetteed. He ie of the same country with ...e parents of the child, and seems to be about forty ;ears old. Ile has pursued the avocation of n hawker or travelling pedlar. and in appearance is extremely unprepossessing. 11, solemnly denied the charge, and undertook to prove an alibi, being, as be asserted, at Beentford fair out the day that the offence was al leged to hive been committed. Mrs. Manning (the mother of the chid) etatel, that her husband worked in an iron-noun:try. They bad five children, two boys and three girls. The one who had suffered violation was the second eldest of the girls; the might be abein eleven yeah old. On Tuesday, the 2lth of August (this was a mioake either as to day or date, for Tuesday was the 2251), she weat out in the morning, leaving her eldest, and the one who forms the subject of the pre. sent investigation, in care M the house; when witness returned home. she found the child suffering great pais, sad crying bitterly. she did not mention what bait happened. and was merely put to bed, but on the following morning the eldest sides, wha r alept In the sante bed, discneered certain traces which excited in wiznenne mind a suspicion that the child lad suffered some extraordinary personal violence, and she was immediately taken to Mr. Barnett, the parish surgeon, for examination. That goitlemin confirmed muse suspicions, and edited likewise that the poor infant hail con tracted disease. She was sulnequently admitted into the ir.firmary of the workhouse. as a patine, end was not discharged until Thursday last, when she coefeesed to witness that she hail been ill treated by the prisoner, whom she pointed out as he peseta u p t ip ) Margaret Manning, the little girl, was then examined, 11 , 14 i to. pied to every preliminary question of S:netain Simeon's with astonishing quickness. She had learned to read at de Stenday Seimol. Knew the meaning of the seventh commandment, de. seetbed the nature of an oath, and the punishment of lists, in toe mint sa tisfectory manner. She then stated, that on a Tues. Jsy, before she was put in the workhouse, she was sent by her hitter to get a email washing-tub at the house of a lilts. Col. hns in the same court ; she did not get it at that time, nod went again about lialf-paet tea o'clock. Mn. Collins was from hone, and there V.A.'. Ito one in the room bet the prisoner, wit caught her up in his arms, and threw her hone on a bed, put. wag A cloth Into her mouth to prevent her crying out. (litre she described the particular offence, sufficiently explicit to leave • but little doubts as to its perpetration, though at the PROW time with the most perfect modesty.) The primner toek tip his handle aan went cm of the court, and she went hackie her father's. Het ai•AIA asked her why she tined, but she was *shamed to tell the reason, and merely said that she had a fail; the same cause ope rated with her to liar mother, and in the workhouse. She wan quite poaitive as to the prisoner being the man who had so ill-treated her. Mr. Bartlett, the surgeon of St. Sepulchre's (Without) Work house, described the situation of the clad, and had no hesitation in saying that the child had sustained some very serious personal violence, but lie had great doubts as to the actual perpetration of the offence. When brought for examination she was labouring under a nameless disease, for which he wrote a prescription ; hut in a couple of days after she was admitted as an in-pt.: c ot of the Workhouse Infirmary, where she was often questioned on the sub ject of her Mimi, but always obstinately refused to tell. Mrs. Collins, at whose house the offence was described to have been perpetrated, attempted to vindicate the prisoner from the charge. He had been lodging at her house for some weeks; but he left it on the Saturday previous to the time sworn to by the former r witnesses. With great volubility of tongue, this witness asserted that Mrs. Manning, the girl's moiher, was not right in her head ; that she wits known to brat her children with great cruelty, and that about the time of the girl's illness, she (the nonlicr) had thrown her down stairs, and trampled her -- out. The prisoner Martin Magee. she added, " was a chine, decent boy, and all t h at they were saying of him was a big lie." 31r. Sergeant Set.r.ou asked the child if her mother hail ever used her with unnecessary severity, and the reply was. ' No. Sir, mother never beat me bet when I was naughty. She hail not touched me fcr a long, long time before I was so treated by that man," nraaiog the prisoner. This was confirmed by the mother and elder sister. Forbes, the ronvable, who apprehended the prisoner, stated that the little girl pointed him out very readily amongst several other men, who were sitting at tea in Collins's parlour ; prisoner said, "What do you want with me; I know no more of that girl than you do." At this time the nature of the charge had not been explained to him, but lie seemed much alarmed. Mr. Sergeant SELL A"); told the prisoner that' he was charged with the commission of an offence of the most heMous description. for which he should certainly he sent to a Jury of his country, unless he could produce evidence of sufficient credit and weight to repel the accusation. The prisoner said, he could produce a man who would prove that he was not iu Collins's house at all on the day mentioned by the witness. Mr. Sergeant STI.I.ON said it was bit fair to give him time to produce his witnesses, and he was accordingly remanded until this day (Saturday). It is understood that the Parish Officers mean to take up the prosecution. BURGLARY. ITWION-NALl..—Yestertlay three men, named llemeson,enshion. and .Strorns, were brought up, charged with breaking into the house of 3lrs. Hatch, a laundress residing in Southwark. and stealing therefrom an immense quantity of linen and other articles. A female named Clarke, the proprietor of one of those receptacles for stolen property, denominated " Marine Store Shops," was also placed at the bar, on suspicion of receiving part of the property so stolen. The complainant, who is an aged and industrions woman, shortly stated the facts. She said that on the previous night she retired to bed after having fastened the do Ts and the window shutters below stairs. On rising the next morning, and proceeding to the apart ment in which she usually deposited all the linen shirts, &e. wt. ich site had to wash for her customers, all was gone. On further in spection she saw itl duly that th:eves fad been in the; house, and that they had effected an entrance by boring through one of the parlour shutters, and afterwards cut ing out a pane of Class, which they seemed to have accomplished with a glazer's diamond. One of the constables of St. Saviour's parish, into whose ctistody the prisoners were given, produced ,he greater portion of the stolen property, to the inexpressible delight of the poor old laundress. A watchman stated, that about five o'clock that morning, while nn duty, he observed the three prisoners together, two of whom (lieu - Toon and Stevens) were carrying along large bundles. Sus pecting they were improper characters, he hastened after them, and observed that they entered the house of a person named Clarke,who keeps a marine store-shep in Guildford-street. He went in after them, and sew the three men standing in the passage talking in Mrs Clarke, as he supposed. on the subject of the proper ty,which by this time they had taken off their shoulders, and placed on the floor. Ile proceeded to take the men into custody, and in so doing Mrs. Clarke approached him, and, with a monstrous cunning look, accompanied by a wink of the eye. slipped a shilling into his hand. as much as to say, "Be silent." lie rejected her bribe with dis. dein, flung her shilliag out of his hand to the ground, and left the house with the three men and the property he had seen in their possession. The watchman added that he had subsequently racer. wined that Mrs. Hatch's house had been broken open, and a quan tity_ of linen articles stolen therefrom. The property was now exhibited to the complainant, and she identified the whole of it., together with a pair of sfectacles, found in the possession of Hemp sun on 'watching hie pockets. The Mateistri.te made some strong observations in allusion to the abominable system carried on at most of the marine store shops in the metmpolia, the owners of which merely kept open for the par. pose of receiving the plunder from the thieves. lie then asked the woman Clarke to explain the reason of the stolen property having been taken to her house. Mrs. Clarke replied (Litt site knew neither of the men in custody, never having seen them before that morning, when one of them (Stevens) asked her to take care of the bundles until his return. She declared most solemnly that the property had not been offered isa her for sale, and implored the Magtstrate to discharge her, say ing she was as innocent as the " new-born babe." The Magistrate then asked the other prisoners whether they were anxious to say any thing in their defence, observing that it was perfectly ilisetetional with them. Cushion declared that he had no acquaintance with the men by his side; lie bail been with Mrs. Clarice on other business when his fellow-prisonets entered with the bundles. The watchman, however, produced a broken umbrella, which was in Cushion's possession when taken into custody. Subsequently. on searching ilampson, the part of the broken umbrella was dis covered in his pocket. The piece was therefore produced, and fitted exactly ; this circumstance connected Cushion with the others, and he was perfectly silent afterwards. Stevens and Hampson made the usual defences in such cues; the one asserting that the bundles of linen had been given to him by • stranger, to carry to Mrs. Clarke'a ; and the otter, that having some slight araptaintance with Stevens, and meeting him lugging; along two large bundles, he offered to assist in carrying them to the place he was going. Mr. SWAHEY (to the female prisoner)—.'s it does not appear that you actually purchased these stolen goods of the other pri soners, I shall now discharge you ; but cin 't go away with an im pression that you are innocent, fur there ha+ been a case of consider able auspicinn made out against you; let this escape be a mimic& to you in future: and I shall direct a most close and watchful eye to be kept upon your shop for the time to come. The other three prisoners were fully committed.

A respeetsb i e-looking man named litiiiy.having a military ap. pearance, was brought up on a warrant the assaulting a young woman, a .servant in the house where he lodged. Mary Patter, the complainant, mated that on the preceding even ing, by order of her mistress, site went into Mr. Daily's room for the purpose of closing the window shutters; while in the act of doing too, the defendant desired her to desist ; hut, anxious to elm ply with bee mistress's order, she closed the shutters, and at the same nwiment the defendant rose from his chair in a terrible fury, and approaching her, with his fist doubled up, gave lire a thump On the face. The girl added that the present was not the first in stance she had been assaulted by Mr. Daily, who struck at her as if she wan one of his own sex. The complainant's mistress corroborated her statement with re spect to the assaults that had been committed by the defendant, who site was anxious to get out of her house, as he was a very odd sort of a man. The defendant admitted that he had assaulted the girl, but de clared thatahe was one of the most impertinent hussey- imaginable, and that her mistress encouraged her in it. Oa the evening in question- the girl entered his room, and without asking his per mission closed nut the day-light, and when he remonstrated with her she was excel-ively Insolent, and his passion getting the better of his reason,.he certainly tapped her stigluly on the cheek. 111 r.

SHOCKING CIRCUMSTANCE.—Thursday afternoon, Say ers, a constable of St. Martin's parish, apprehended a fe male named Ilarriette Keyland, the wife of a man who re sides at No. 16, Chapel-street, Westminster. She was taken into custody near the Adelphi, on a charge of pur loining property belonging to a Mrs. Wood, in George court, Strand, which it was alleged she had pawned. The officer took her to her own house in Chapel-street, to get possession of the duplicates, and some attempt was made on the part of the prisoner to settle the matter with the prosecutrix ; failing to do so, Sayers told her to prepare .to go with him, for he must convey her before a Magistrate at Queen-square office. The woman became exceedingly terrified at the idea of going before a Magistrate, and the offiLer waited some time to give her an opportunity of corn. 1 posing herself. After some time she declared that she would 1 the rather than go to prison, and she would not leave the room except by force. The officer went into an adjoining room to get assistanoe, and during the time she threw up the window of the room, which was a thitd floor, anti threw herself head-foremost out of it. Sayers ran for ward .. ... . . to save her, and they were torn by her the ground. 'Both c and it is believed that her heavily, and was tarried a.dying state. The survive many hours.

The state of the poor in this neighbourhood is not at all - fuiproved. Sales of furniture, under distress for rent, take place daily ; in deed, the bailiffs and auctioneers are in full employment. Every wed: we hear of etnigiations to America, amongst [bone who can raise by any means a sufficient sum of money to pay their passage. Winter is fast approaching, and if no alteration takes place, the consequence, I appre hend, will be dreadful. A gleam of hope seems to have shot across people's minds through the opening of the ports, and on Monday morning our church bells rang a merry p. al on the occasion. A meeting of the Ilitli, a of this town will be Itchd to-inorrow, to take into considera tion the best means of hirling employ inent for time female poor in making clothing, &c. The following is a copy of the address from our weavers to their employers, requesting their co-operation in an application to Government for a law to effect ate equalization of wages:— TO THE COTTON MANUFACTURERS OF GREAT AND LITTLE BOLTON.

In addition to this, winter will shortly set in, when extra fuel and candles will be absolutely necessary, and ourselves and naked families exposed to the " pelting of the pitiless snout" Nor does the mischief terminate here, fur the weavers form such a large portion of our population, that the middle classes, such as tradesmen, owners of cottage property, &c. are tact sinking into ruin; for, when respectable retail dealers d dare ••• that they do rot rt.csive sufficient ino.tey in the way of business to cover their daily expenses," and the owners of cottage property are necessitated to apply to their net, nts, ti procure tliet provisions front a credit shop to keep their families from striving, are we not justified in request ing trum our ; atural protectors (the Government of the country) a law to compel those who have been the principal cause of our mi. say, to pay such wages as the state of the market will permit? We ask nothing more than that a Board of Trade, dimmed of the respectable part of the masters and weavers, should be formed, and have the power of making such alterations, front time to note. In the rate of our wages, as the sate of the market will justify, and that the resolutions Mauch Board sltaii 1, - ,.• made bind ing on the trade by an Act of Parliament, subjecting those pees: tin who violate them to a penalty sufficiently large to prevent u repe tition of time offence. We therefore earnestly solicit you to join as in an application to the Board of Trade in furtherance of our object, as we are lirmly convinced that nothing short of a Legislative protection can extri cate us from the evils of this el -hiding system, which has reduced us to the verge of despair. is fast scconmlishing the ruin of the middle classes, and will, if not checked, ultimately plunge the .country into a state of starchy and confusion too dreadful for contemplotion.

Slll,—l am Italy sorry that it becomts my painful duly, as Se cretary to the Coutiaito e of 3lanufacturers, appoin ed by a Public fleeting held on the 211th 1.1 la‘t April, to submit the following la mentable detitription ot the distressed state of the operative weavers, in this and other manufacturing districts: the Meeting to which I have relerred was co tven,al at a time when we were placed in the moat critical and alarming circumstances, of which you have no doubt been fully apprizA ; and I am sorry to muddle a great pro portion of the wisely and dunetut, under which we are suffering, is principally owing to the uncalled-tor continual reduction of the weavers' wages, attributable alone to men, who, with a few exceptions, have commenced the manufacturing business without any money, and, I em sorry to add, with as little regard to moral light and wrong. At the Meeting held on the 28111 of April, a list of prices was then submitted for the general adoption of the trade in this town and neighbourhood, and 1 am sorry to say that this list was generally admitted to beat a rate of wages, by which the opera. tive could nut get any thing like a sufficiency of bread,to say nothing of rent. clothes, or fuel, nod this starving list was submitted in con sequence of many persons giving much less, and a tear that they would not be Ist ought to arced: toe higher rate than the oneprupuseel. The manufacturers at this Meeting agreed to this list. hut it has been clearly demonstrated that several did go under the influence of fear (the poor misguided weavers in the neighbouring vil. lages being then engaged in the destruction of machinery), and, in order to escape the danger that threatened, complied wbh this however, as sooti.as their fears subsided, they departed from the* alagagement, ;mil have been going on with the shameful work of reducing wages far below the list agreed to. The convquence I that they have monopolized the trade, to the exclusion ado! respect ! able and humane part of the manufacturers, who, by the conduct of these men, are generally prevented the opportnnity of a sale, the buyers naturally going to those whose limited means compel them to sell, and whose creel treatment towards the weavers enable them so to do, at prices below the respectable houses. To this may be attributed the want of employment, and the consequent increased misery of the poor ; for, if the respectable houses were to give the some rate of wages as these unprincipled men are doing, they would be enabled to compete with them in the market, and to employ the unemployed poor, that are now starving for want of breath. They have given notice of their intention tutu so. if the reducing houses do Witco= up; and upon this notice, although riot yet carried into effect these unfeeling men lt,vc again reduced, and declare they will still ixsorinue to act upon this principle. Are they to enrich themselves at the expense of the labouring poor, to the total exclusion from mule of the capitalist and fair trader, to the ruin oldie proprietors of cut. Cages, who are actually beaming paupers, not being able to get a single pound out of what should otherwise yield them a handsome livelihood, and bringing the shopkeepers aid other classes fast to pauperism! In short, if somethirg is not done to equalize the rate of wages, we shall be in a state of anarchy and tumult very soon. To remedy which, the manufacturers, together with the weavers, are of opinion, that if a law was enacted, with a heavy penalty, that the manufacturers might front time to time fix a rate of wage« to be binding upon all, a certain majority to determine, that we should see our trade revive, and things improve. low as we are decreased. For although there are plenty of coders in the market,yet the buyers, find. ing that wages are continually reducing, limit themselves as narrow. ly as possible in their purchases, anticipating still lower prices. The respectable manufacturers in t he neighbouring towns are quite agreed upon this point, as far as it relates to the statement I have given : it is presumed thitt this provision tray be made, without any integer. ence with free trade: but this tV C respectfully submit for your CCM :ldeation and opinion. The weavers' statement to the manufacturers I send for your information, anti vouch for its correctness; and we have pledged 011ISCITC3 to the weavers to do all that we can for them, and communicate the result of the statement to you. I shall, therefore, feel extremely obliged by your advice and opinion, as early as possible, in order to direct us in our future steps, and con ciliate the ftelings of the weavers, who have hitherto submitted to their privations and sufferings with that patience and humble demeanour that entitle them to every possible attention. I am, Sir with great deference and respect, Your most obedient servant, TllOlllll IifIoDDELT, Secretary. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL, TH t• snnY, SEPT. 7.
