Because there have been times during the last century when religious zeal has degenerated into intolerance, and an ignorant populace has been incited to acts of violence against the professors of a creed which it ab horred, it does not follow that we are never to feel or express any jealousy of Papal encroachments, or make a surrender of all our defences by way of amends to the enemy whom we once treated with unjust severity. Who wishes to revive the penal laws once in force against the Roman Catholics ? Take the most violent speech of the most uncompromising advocate of the principles of the Reforfnation ; search through the fervid and impetuous eloquence of the reverend orators who have so lately been engaged in 'exposing the cor ruptions and denouncing the insidious advance of the Church of Rome, and you will. find no hint or trace of a desire to use the unrighteous arms of persecution in the cause which they have at heart, however unwilling they.may be to grant political privileges to men who convert them into instruments of attack and injury. It is not on account of the theological tenets of the Roman Catholics, however offensive they may appear to rightly constituted minds, that the State would, in our opinion, be justified in refusing to place them on an 'equality with the rest of their fellow-countrymen, but because their religious creed is so interwoven with temporal objects, and the dominion it exercises over the mind so all-grasping and tyrannical, that it is im possible not tb apprehend danger to our political and social rights, if the progress of the doctrines of the Vatican is neglected and the disciples of that religion are allowed to acquire power and influence in the legis lature of this free country. For our * own part we always considered, with Mr. Pitt and Mr. Canning, the question of Roman Catholic Emancipation, as it was called, as one more of expedi ency than principle. We did not, and do not, imagine that the mere fact of admission of Catholics to seats in Parliament compromises our character as a Protes tant state. If it does, the argument must go further,. and then it proves too much. We allowed Catholics to vote for members of a Protestant Parliament before the year 1800, and yet we have never heard this alleged as an act by which we had forfeited our character as a Protestant nation. We held, that, so long as the ac quisition of political power by Papists was dangerous to the interests of the Established Church, we were justified in excluding them from the two Houses of Parliament; but that, whenever this danger was re moved, it became an act of justice to admit them. The statesmen who carried the Relief Bill believed -and a vast body of staunch Protestants in the country, amongst whom we willingly place ourselves, believed— that the time at last had come when there was less danger in conceding than in resisting the claims of the Catholics to seats in the Impeiial Legislature. And surely, if solemn assurances—if reiterated pledges— if sacred promises ought ever to induce man to put faith in man, we may be excused for being willing to try the great experiment of how far we might trust the protestations of our Roman Catholic countrymen. Over and over again did their acknowledged leaders,. both lay and spiritual, declare that the rights of the Established Church would be sacred in their eyes ; and, not content with this, we framed an oath expressly to secure this all-important end, and fancied that we we were safe. But what have we seen ? Have not the unwearied efforts of the Papists been directed against the very existence of the Church of England ever since the year 1829 ? In spite of promises, and pledges, and oaths, have theynot made her the grand object of attack, and employed the arms which we entrusted into their hands for the purposes of her destruction ? Do they not openly avow their determination to rob her of her tithes, if possible, and reduce her to penury ?_. And_do we not see a most portentous union of Papist, Schis matic, and Infidel—men whose creeds would separate them wide as the poles asunder, if they had not at this moment one object In view—leagued together to fur ther every scheme hostile to the interests of the Church, and advocating every wild and revolutionary crotchet which passes under the much-abused name of Reform ? And when we see all this, can it be matter of surpriSe that the warning cry of " NO Popery" should be heard, And that many should regret the part they took in the emancipation of a body of Religionists who seem to have neither gratitude nor shame, and who seek to employ the gift for the destruction of the giver ? We advise the writers on the Liberal side to ponder these facts, before they apply the hard names of " bigots," " fanatics,", and " fool's," to men who know and un derstand the blessings which Britain has enjoyed as a Protestant nation, and who will not lightly surrender them to the demands of a spurious and suicidal cha rity. We have received a copy of the Graham's Town Journal of July 25th. It is chiefly occupied with ex tracts from English papers. The latest arrival from England was to the -27th of April. The speech of the Governor of the Cape Colonies holds out a distinct hope that Natal shall beCome a British colony. It would, indeed, be absurd to hold out any other expec tation to those emigrant farmers who have settled at Natal. Great Britain is the only power to whom they can . look for future succour. Great complaints are still made of the depredations committed by the Kafirs. The colony is evidently in want of additional protec- We have received .a file of the Sydney Commercial Journal to the 15th of June inclusive. These papers contain no political views of the slightest importance. The drought, we regret to find, still continued at Bathurst, though Sydney had been visited with much refreshing rain. The drought in the Bathurst district has lasted nearly three years ; and the suffering of both man and beast in consequence has been incalculable-- the former in pocket, through the loss of his crops and cattle—and the latter being in many instances starved to death. Most parts of the bush are described to he as barren in appearance as the streets of Sydney. Not a blade of grass was to be seen for miles. The prices of every article of general consumption were, through the district, extraordinarily high, with the sole excep tion of butchers' meat, which may be accounted for by the desire of holders to sell their cattle while pro vender continued to be so scarce and so dear. Rita toes were selling for 50s. per cwt. Flour fetched 70s. per 100 lbs. Vegetables, excepting potatoes, were not to be had at any price. The aborigines in the neighbourhood of Port Phillip were suffering dreadfully from the ravages of a violent and general dysentery, which threatened to make a serious devastation in their numbers, if not speedily repressed. The Commercial Journal complains bitterly of the mal-administration of the affairs of the colony of New South Wales. It says that " there never was a period since the establishment of the colony—not even ex cepting the reign of Darling—when. such universal discontent was apparent, in the rich and the poor, the free and the bond." It would have been as well if we had some more explicit information respecting the peculiar grievances under which the colonists are la bouring. We have elsewhere given a few extracts respecting the state of the Sydney and Van Dieman's Land mar kets. These colonies, on the whole, appear to be, as far as trade is concerned, in a very prosperous condi tion. There were no fewer than fifty vessels (some of them of very large tonnage) in the harbour of Sydney on the 15th of June. As the First of November approaches, we deem it right once more to. urge upon the attention of our Conservative friends the necessity of increased vigi lance and perseverance in their praiseworthy efforts to rid the town of one of . the greatest nuisances which it possesses—a Radical majority in the Town Council. Concentrated and well-directed exertions cannot fail, 'in the end, to accomplish this most desirable object — this " consummation devoutly to be wished" by' every one who wishes well to the interests of " the good old town." The Municipal contests in this town, since the Municipal Reform Act was passed, have always had one distinguishing feature—a feature which renders the past success of the Reform Candidates almost in explicable. The chief principle involved in these con tests has been, whether the Church party should or should not be the ascendant party in the administra tion of our local affairs. The Radicals may deny that this has been the case. They may say that the chief principle in question has been, whether the Corporate affairs should be conducted in an economical manner ; or, in other words, whether those affairs should be properly or improperly administered. While they plead that this has been the real principle at issue, they may also add that the Liberals wished for the ascendancy in order that our local affairs might be well conducted ; and that the Conservatives desired to monopolise the seats in the Council Chamber for self ish and corrupt purposes. There might be some rea son in such a plea, if facts of a somewhat awkward character did not interpose to deprive it of its force and relevaflcy. The Liberals have hitherto obtained the ascendancy; and what has been the result of their administration of our local affairs ? Have they not signalised themselves by falsifying every one of their professions ? Have they not proved themselves to be monopolists of the first water ? Have they not acted, on every occasion, on the most corrupt, selfish, and exclusive principles that could be imagined ? Have they not demonstrated, beyond the possibility of con tradiction, that the furthest thing possible from their minds has been the " good government" of the town, which they uniformly alleged to be the grand question at issue ? But the Radicals have done more than this since their elevation to power in the Town Council. • They have proved the truth of our position, that the ascen dancy of the Church has been the grand principle at issue in our Municipal contests. The Liberals have pursued an undeviating course of hostility towards the Established Church ever since their accession. Judg ing from their acts, it appears that the-humiliation of the Clergy and the prostration of the Church, in this town, havv been the grand objects which they have kept constantly in view. This being the case, we cannot but pronounce their success as almost inexplicable. The singularity of their success lies in this—that they have been mainly enabled to wend their way to the Council Board by the assistance of Churchmen. Yes, Churchmen—to their shame be it written—have sent a band of Papists, Socinians, political Dissenters, and Anythingarians, into the Town Council, to do their utmost to pull down and to destroy the Church ! Such inconsistency is utterly inexplicable. That we are correct in asserting that Churchmen have furnished the Church-hating Liberals with the weapons which they have so long wielded against the Establishment, must be evident to every one who will take the pains to ascertain the relative proportions of Churchmen and Dissenters in the town. It is an ac knowledged fact , that, of those who are qualified to vote under the Municipal Act, full three-fourths are Churchmen : and yet we find a majority of decided and avowed enemies of the Church in the Town Council ! Such gross dereliction of duty on the part of the friends of Protestantism is almost without a parallel. But we are not unconscious that a returning sense of duty is becoming more and more prevalent among those Churchmen who assisted the Liberals in former contests. We firmly believe that the friends of Pro testant ascendancy will make such a demonstration of their numerical superiority on the approaching first of November, as will strike terror and confusion into the ranks of the Radical and pro-Popish factions. A glance at the list of Candidates, now before the public, ought to convince every sincere Protestant of the propriety of voting for a Conservative Candidate. Among the Liberal Candidates, we find a great number of determined enemies to the Church, some of whom belong to that most bigotted, illiberal, and tyrannical of all sects, the Unitarians : but we defy any one to point out a single individual among the whole of the " Reform" Candidates for Municipal honours, who has the slightest pretensions to the character of a friend of the Church. Which of them has ever done anything to promote the interests of the Establishment ? But let us examine the lists _more minutely. For Everton Ward, Mr. F. Shand stands forward on the Conservative interest. Thete can be no doubt of his attachment to the Church. He has, on several occasions, manifested that attachment in the most un equivocal manner, Opposed to him we find Mr. Quayle, of whom we know nothing further than that he has been twice or thrice rejected by the independent electors of the ward—a fate which, we doubt not, he will experience once more. In Scotland Ward, Mr. Houghton again stands for ward on the Conservative interest. Of Mr. Houghton, whose respectability is so well known, it would be superfluous for us. to say anything further than that he is a staunch Churchman. But what is his oppo nent, Mr. Paintpot Atkinson ? Is he not a Papist ? Is he not supported by the Popish priests ? We shall not insult the Protestant electors of the ward by doubt ing their resolution to send this pragmatical individual to Coventry. In Vauxhall. Ward, Mr. Henry Sandbach, another tried and attached friend to the Church, is the Conser vative Candidate. Opposed to him we find a Mr. Thomas Chalmer. Who is Mr. Chalmer? We have looked in vain for his name among the list of contri tors to any of the societies connected with the Church. The Candidates for St. Paul's Ward are Mr. Barton —a consistent Churchman ; and Mr. Deakin, of whose sentiments we can form no opinion, as we never heard his name mentioned in connection with any project which had the promotion of the interests of the Church in view. In Castle-street Ward, Mr. Bolton, an Ur itarian, and a bitter enemy of the Church ; is oppcsed by Mr. Peter Hope, who is a zealous and uncompromising Protestant. In Pitt-street Ward, again, we have a Churchman, Mr. Bibby, opposed to Mr. R. V. Yates, a Unitarian. Whom will the Protestant electors of the ward vote for ? In Great George Ward, Mr. Thomas Robinson, a sound Protestant, is opposed by Mr. Lawrence Hey worth, who, if we mistake not, presided some time since at .a Chartist meeting Are the electors of this truly Conservative ward prepared to vote for a Char tist ? In Rodney Ward, Mr. J. N. Wood, a tried Church man, against whose conduct in the Town Council no one can find a single reasonable objection, is opposed by Mr. Loch. What has Mr. Loch ever done in sup port of the Church ? We do not know, indeed, whe ther he is a Churchman or not_ In Abercromby Ward, we find Mr. Bushell opposed by Mr. Henry Ripley, the latter of whom has never distinguished himself by any active support which he has given to the Church, which the former has done. In Lime-street Ward, the Conservative Candidate is Mr. Robert Rigby, and the Radical who opposes him is Mr. Vincent Higgins. In St. Anne's 'Ward, Mr. Robert Jones stands on the Conservative interest, and Mr. J. Mason on. the Radical. In West Derby Ward, the present Conservative Member, Mr. John Smith, will be opposed by Mr. Edward James. ' In South Toxteth Ward, the Candidates are Mr. T. M. Glad stone on the Conservative side, and Mr. Fras. Jordan on the Radical interest. In North Toxteth Ward, Mr. R. Harbord, a Conservative, is opposed by Mr. D. Mather, a Liberal. We might, if space permitted, pursue the same comparison, with which we set out, in reference to each of the gentlemen whom we have thus classed together. In every instance the Radicals have taken care to fix upon such Candidates as have either avowed their open hostility to the Established Church, or never distinguished themselves as its friends and supporters. The Conservatives have very proper ly and very consistently pursued a diametrically oppo site policy. We have placed the merits of the respective Candi dates on one issue—their hostility to, or friendship for, the Church. In our ne x t we s h a ll scan th e i r c l a i ms on other grounds. We hope, by that time, to hear of Conservative Candidates being nominated in opposi tion to Mr. Mellor, and Mr. Bright, the members for Exchange and St. Peter's Wards. Another specimen of the .‘ enormous lying" of the Whig-Radical press has just met with a triumphant refutation and galling exposure at the hands of Sir Robert Peel, whose admirable letter we subjoin.

S ' • ,poo l '' degrading position than the Whig faction has been pla ced in by the countenance given to such scandalous fa brications as that which appeared in the Observer. On the following admirable letter it is unnecessary, on the present occasion, for us to make any further remark : " TO THE EDITOR OF THE OBSERVER. " Drayton Manor, Fazeley, Oct. 14, 1839. " have just seen a paragraph in the Observer of yesterday, which I should have let pass without the slightest notice, had not you declared that the statements therein made were made upon the most positive authority. " The statements to which I refer are the following : That certain protestants in Ireland had demanded to know inplain terms whether the advent of toryism was in reality to be the signal for civil war in Ireland.' " That ' the answer yieen on behalf of Sir Robert Peel was to this effect—that it was required for the sustenance of the tory party to keep up and enforce the no-popery feeling in England, but that there was no design of pushing the ex terminating principle in Ireland so far as actually:to excite rebellion.' " That it was added, that the necessities of the party re quired such expedients, and that in fact the end must be taken to justify the means of deceit and falsehood by which it was brought about.' " You proceed to observe that ' you can state upon the most positive authority that such language Ties been held, such explanations made, such excuses given by persons who speak the sentiments of Sir Robert Peel;" and to this you add, " that you trust you have proved that theiv is no term of abuse sufficiently strong to mark the infamy of such double-faced policy.' " Now as it is utterly untrue, so far as I am concerned, or have any knowledge, that any such or similar communica tions have been made, directly or indirectly, on the part of Irish or other protestants, or that, with my sanction or cog nizance, any such explanations have been given, or language held, as that to which you refer —as, in short, I never heard one word on the subject of these alleged communications and explanations until I read the article in the Observer, I cannot doubt, after the declarations you have made as to the pogitive authority on which you have spoken, and consider ing the terms you have applied to the policy which you im pute to me, that you will consider it an act of common jus tice to declare publicly what is that positive authority upon which your statements have been made, and who are the parties who have professed to give answers on my behalf, and to speak my sentiments. " I am, sir, your obedient servant, " ROBERT PEEL." We rejoice to find that a meeting is to be held in the Music Hall, on Friday next, for the formation of a " Young Men's Church of England Society," the prin cipal object of which will be to oppose the nefarious de signs of the Voluntary " Young Men's Society." It gives us additional pleasure to find that our worthy representative Cresswell Cresswell, Esq. is to preside on the occasion, and that the meeting will be addressed by the Rev. Hugh M‘Neile and several other distin guighed speakers. It must be a source of the highest gri,ifieation to every sincere friend of the Established Church to find its more youthful members thus band ing together in defence of the religion of their fore fathers. LATJNCH.—A fine new barque will be launched on Thurs day next, at about half-past eleven o'clock, from the building yard of Messrs. P. Chaloner, Sons, and Co., Baffin-street. Queen's Dock, for Captain Joy, and intended for the medi terranean trade. SPLENDID METEOR. - On Tuesday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, as two gentlemen were walking in Cheshire, near Monk's Ferry, they observed a very large meteor fall! from the clouds. It burst like a rocket, and the light it emitted was so powerful, that our informants state that a person might have seen to pick up a pin. " THE UNITED KINGDOM." - This leviathan is now in the easternmost of the south docks, and is an object of great curiosity. She has a fine bottom, is sharper than she appears to be when afloat, and has ample bearings. Her tonnage is 1275 per.register, new measurement. This is the fine vessel built by Mr. Munn, of Quebec. She is well worthy of in spection. The underwriters at Lloyd's need be under no further anxiety on account of the Corinth and Rhode Island, from Liverpool to this country. The former has arrived at Nor folk, after a passage of 52 days, and the' Rhode Island after 76 days. Both experienced shocking weather, but no damage. —Letter from Philadelphia. BIRKENHEAD. —The rapid increase of the " town" of Birkenhead may be estimated from the fact that while fifteen years ago it contained only 120 inhabitants, it now contains 9,200. The land which was then sold tor building upon at ls. per yard, is now worth, in eligible situations, the sum of 25s Gd. QUICK PASSAGE TO SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES. — The ship Formosa, of this port, Captain Adam, that sailed for Sydney, New South Wales, with 250 emigrants, in Janu ary last, arrived out, after a quick passage o 108 days, (ex clusiveof the time she remained at the Cape to water, &c : ) on the 19th May. She took out the latest accounts, both from this country and the Cape. There was not a single death amnwr the_ adult Inmengers : , atutmily_twslve amortz the children; and there were nine births on boar during the passage. The passengers were delighted with the passage and with the attention of the captain ; and the commissioners at Sydney, for inspecting vessels arriving out with emigrants, expressed themselves highly pleased with the arrangements on board, and the great cleanliness observed. The Formosa had bad the quickest passage of any vessel that had arrived out for some tone, and was about the only vessel that had no fever on board. STEAM v. WIND.—The Columbus, packet-ship, which sailed from New York on the Ist inst., and the ship Roches ter which sailed from the same port on the 29th September, arrived here yesterday th e 21 s t, eac h having made what may be called a fair passage for sailing vessels, The British Queen, steam-ship, however, which sailed on the same day as the Columbus (the Ist inst.) arrived here on Tuesday last, the 15th, being six days sooner than the one, and seven days sooner than the other, or an advantage of upwards of one fourth in the general length of the voyage. - - THE LAST WEEK !—For the last time we are called upon in justice to our readers, to remind them that this is the last week of Mr. Colles's stay in this town; why it is so, we can not divine,—it certainly is not for want of business, as lie has actually more than he can atte n d t o ,—he, of course, has • . his own reasons,—query—is he not a little capricious ? In saying this, we do not mean to cast the slightest reflection on Mr. C. ; be is at all times particularly attentive, and most anxious that his pupils should do him credit ; he spares no pains ith them at all events. Wherever he goes, he carries with him our best wishes. AN AWKWARD CUSTOMER. On Wednesday evening last, about seven o'clock, a bull, which was proceeding along Lord-street, took it into his head to walk into the shop of our next door neighbour, Mr. Rennie, hair-dresser, perfu mer, &c., whether with the intention to have his natural locks dressed, secundum artem, or to procure an antificial substitute for them, must remain a mystery, as the gentleman did not himself vouchsafe any very explicit information as to the object of his visit. He, however, walked into the parlour, in which Mr. Rennie adonizes his human customers, but before he had time to take a chair ; or even to look about him, he was followed by his driver, and shown to the door, without having done the slightest injury,—a fact which de serves recording for the honour of the Taurine species, inas much as the saying about " a bull in a china shop" would seem to throw an indiscriminate censure on the whole body. It appears that a bull can behave himself like a gentleman at a hair-dresser's. —Mercury. WESLEYAN CENTENARY.—The Wesleyan conference, it is understood, have appointed Friday, the 28th inst., for ce lebrating throughout the cortnexion, by religious services, the centenary of Wesleyan Methodism. The Great Western, steam-ship, left Kingroad, Bristol, on Saturday afternoon, for New York, with her full com plement of passengers. The Liverpool, steam-ship, would leave New York on the same day, and may be expected to reach the Mersey on or before Sunday week. FIRM AT KNOTTY Asn.—On Saturday morning, between two and three o'clock, an alarming tire, which burned with fearful rapidity, was discovered in a mill at Knotty Ash. A. messenger was despatched to Liverpool to procure the assis tance of the Liverpool Fire-police. The intelligence was conveyed to Mr. Liverpool in the short space of fifteen mi nutes, and that gentlernan, with his engines, 4-as.at the scene of the disaster by the time twenty-five minutes more had elapsed. The whole interior of the mill, however, was burned to tinder, and, had it not been for the timely interposition of the Liverpool Fire-police, the destruction to the surround ing property would have been very extensive. RODNEY-STREET WARD.—The conservative burgesses of this ward held a public meeting on Thursday evening, at the Roscoe Head, Roscoe-street, for the purpose of adopting measures to secure. the re-alavtioo of their " retiring town councillor," John Nelson Wood, Esq. The chair was taken by Henry Lawrence, Esq.; and resolutions, expressive of the most cordial and unqualified approbation of Mr. Wood's conduct in the town-council, and of determination to use every exertion to secure his re-election at the approaching contest were unanimously carried. The meeting—which, by the-by, appeared to us be the most numerous and respectable that has been heretofore held on similar occasions in this ward—was addressed by Mr. Wood, Mr. Samuel Holme, Mr. Carson, Mr. James Aspinall, and several of the most in fluential burgesses of the ward. The greatest unanimity and enthusiasm prevailed, and if the meeting redeems the pledge it gave Mr. Wood, he will most assuredly " Loch" (lock) his opponent out of the town council, for this year at all events. ROBBERY.—On Tuesday evening last, between half-past six and eight o'clock, some person or persons found access to a sleeping room in the house of Mr. John Berry, of the inn in Brunswick-street known as " Neds," and carried off pro perty to the amount of about £lOO. The drawers in which it was deposited, which were locked, and being opened without violence, while other drawers in the same cest, containing wearing apparel, were left untouched, suspicion is naturally entertained that the guilty party had a knowledge of the house. There were abstracted £6O. in money, and about £4O. worth of plate, and other valuables. Amongst the ar ticles taken were nine large four-pronged silver forks, two large table spoons, six dessert spoons, and ten tea spoons, all of what is called the fiddle handle pattern, and all marked "J. E. B." There were also a large finger-ring, with a yel low stone, surrounded by pearl ; a pair of long ear-rings, of aqua 'marina ; and a large square black, enamelled brooch, set in gold. These particulars may serve to lead to the de tection of the delinquent or delinquents. LEEDS CHESS CLUD.—The first meeting of this society for the present session will be held on Monday next, the 21st inst., when the Chess campaign will be opened by a dinner at Scarborough's Hotel. We are glad to h ear o f t h e favour able state of the games playing by correspondence with the Liverpool Club. The match consists of two games, one of which is decided in favour of Leeds, and in the other game the Leeds players think they have sufficient a d van t age to win. It appears from a paragraph in the Liverpgol Courier, that the Liverpool gentlemen are of opinion that they can draw the second game ; if they are even able to do that, they will lose the match, as Leeds . will then h ave won one game and drawn the other. But judging from the superior play shewn by our townsmen, we anticipate a more com pl e t e an d signal victory. It is gratifying to observe that th e a d m i rer s of this fine intellectual game continue to increase ; the period it is to be hoped is not far distant when chess will take its stand as a national amusrment; when the y out h o f our l an d will cultivate it as recreation which, whilst it amuses, strength ens and expands the intellect ; .and in maturer years will practice it as a profitable relaxation from graver and more important pursuits. Every facility is given by the Leeds Club to the admission of new members, who have th us an opportunity of improving their acquaintance with the game by contending with old and experienced players.—Leeds Intelligencer. LIVERPOOL MICHAELMAS SESSIONS. Yesterday the Quarter Sessions of the Peace for this borough commenced at the Court-house, before James Clarke, Esq., Recorder. The number of prisoners on the calendar for felony was seventy-nine ; those for misdemeaors and as saults, five. The offences charged were chiefly of the usual class, of felonies including several robberies and embezzle ments to large amounts; amongst the cases of violence we regret to say, there were several of a very aggravated nature, amongst which were some instances of stabbing with danger ous weapons. The following gentlemen were sworn (with the exception of one who was affirmed) of the GRAND JURY: Ed. Molyneaux, Esq, Foreman Richard Houghton, Esq. George Booth, Esq. Michael Hnmble, Esq. Wareham Jennett Brown, John Job, Jun. Esq. Esq. Wm. Laycock, Esq. Christopher Bentham, Esq. Thomas M`Tear, Esq. Edward Cox, Esq. Edward.Molyneux, Esq. Hugh Craig, Esq. William Maxwell, Esq. - James Duncan. Esq. John Tomlinson, Esq. Maxmillian Fischer, Esq., Isaac Worthington, Esq. John Finch, Jun., Esq. Henry Whittaker, Esq. John Greenshield, Esq. Nicholas Crook, Esq. Thos. Duckworth Headlam, George Johnson Wainwright, Esq Esq. The RECORDER, then charged the Grand Jury. He com menced by stating that he was extremely happy that the attend ance of gentlement as Grand Jurors was numerous, inasmuch as the business that would be laid before them was of great im partance, and would require their most attentive and dilli gent consideration. He should first draw their attention to the case of William Kelly, who was Charied stolen some money from his employers. The prisoner, although he had been a confidential servant of the prosecutors for the period of three years, broke open a money drawer, and abstracted the money; and the probability was that he had previously taken property in a similar manner. He did not apprehend that they would have any difficulty in coming to a decision on this case, but he had pointed it out, as the offence was one which was on the increase, and it became necessary, by all possible means, to put it down. The next case he should advert to was that of Elizabeth Pewson, who was charged with attempting to suffocate her infant child, with intent to murder it. If they found the allegations in the infoimations made out by the evidence, it would be their duty to find a true bill against her, and if she was found guilty, the punishment would be transportation for any term. The petty jury if the circumstances warranted such a verdict could afterwards, however, find her guilty of the minor of fence, namely a common assault, which would subject her to imprisonment not exceeding three years. He next called their attention to the case of Mary Fennelly and Richd. Fennelly, the former charged with having stolen a large amount in sove reigns and half-sovereigns, together with a bill of exchange; the latter with having received the sovereigns and the bill, knowing them to have been stolen. 111 this case the charge for the prindipal felony was against the junior prisoner, the daughter of the other, and a child ; but the greater offender was the father, who had doubtless induced her to commit the theft, and had received the property. It would appear that the receiving did not take place within the borough, but it would be their duty, nevertheless, to take cognizance of the offence and to enquire where the offence took place. There was also another case, that of Ellen Williams, who stood charged with having stolen two Bank of England notes of the value of £lOO each ; a £5O Bank note and a sovereign the property of a Mr. 'Kenyen. Fortunately in this case all the money was recovered, it having, been found under her head in the bed where she lay, where she had placed it. In the case previously referred to, the parties were not so fortunate, no part of the amount taken having been found. In the case of John Quinn, .and John Meredith, who were charged with stealing some glasses, the offence of the elder prisoner (Meredith), in particular, was of a serious nature, the other (Quinn), being comparatively young. This case would require their utmost attention. The elder priso ner who was fifty-two years of age had it appeared been tampering with the, lad who was an apprentice. He even had the audacity to take a shandray to the place where the felony was committed, with a view to faciliate the robbery of a warehouse, under very agravated circum stances. There were also two cases of stabbing with, dangerous instruments, which would demand their attentive consideration,--an offence which had, unhappily, of late been on the increase in this country. , Liverpool, he lamented to add, must take its share of the odium and disgrace attached to the resort of a practice hitherto little known in these realms. The legislature had properly passed enactments to punish the offence in its several degrees. Stabbing with intent to murder, was met by capital punishment : stab. bing with intent to maim, or to do grievous bodily harm, was punishable with transportation either for life, or for the term of fifteen years. It was a crime which especially required the strong arm of the law. Judges ought not to adopt false notions of humanity ; and he felt some astonish ment that the views of the legislature had not in some recent cases been carried out. For himself he would say, that if the malicious and deadly intent were made out against any of the prisoners, he should feel it to be his duty to visit the offence with that degree of wholesome severity which alone promised to put a stop to the practice. He next adverted to the too frequent custom of shopkeeper and others, hanging out goods in a manner tending to tempt parties to steal them. He had great pleasure in stating, that there was a provision in a recent act, (3rd Victoria) imposing a penalty on all per sons who shall hang out, or expose goods - outside of their shops or premises. The hanging up of goods offered a great temptation, and grand juries had from time to time noticed the practice as an inducement to the commission of crime. The best course that could be adopted, was to cut off the temptation, and every opportunity should be taken to do so. That course alone was consistent with humanity, was accor dant with the law, and best calculated to ensure the safety of property. If there were parties so headstrong that they would still persist in exposing their goods in a tempting man ! ner., they were exceedingly blameable ; and he trusted the police, whose general exertions in the discharge of their duty, were worthy of high commendation, would keep a strict look out, and take care that the provisions of the law were duly enforced. It did not occur to him that there was any other point upon which it was necessary for him to remark, and they (the jury) would therefore retire, and decide on the bills that would be laid before them. The jury then retired. David 13roaerzc1, aged Lt, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a watch, chain, &c. the property of the Rev. Mr. Cardwell. It will be remembered that the offence was com mitted in open day, the prisoner having snatched the watch from the prosecutor's pocket. The latter pursued him, and ordered him to return the watch, which he did. The pri soner said that he was driven to the act by want. It was stated in his behalf that he was quite lame. He was sen tenced to be imprisoned, and kept to hard labour, for twelve months. Margaret Clare stood charged with having stolen four half-crowns and a sixpence, the property of John Jebb. John Jebb.—On the 13th of October, I was walking in the upper part of Islington; when I met the prisoner. She asked, for a shilling, which I refused. She then put her hand into my pocket, took out four half-crowns, and ran off with them. I pursued her, but did not overtake her. I, two days after wards, saw her and held her until a policeman came up, when I gave her into custody. She went on her knees and begged to be liberated, when the prosecutor detained her. The prisoner had previously been committed nine times. Sentence was deferred until further enquiry could be made respecting her. Mary Ryan, a widow, was charged with having stolen ten yards of carpetting, the property of Maria Woodnutt. This case was recently heard at the police-office, and was of but minor interest. The prisoner took the carpet out of the parlour, and, whilst going off with it, was overtaken and put into custody. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The prisoner had previously been convicted of felony. The sen tence of the court was, that she should be transported for seven years. John Quinn, 17, and John Meredith, 52, stood charged with having stolen twelve drinking glasses, the property of Joseph Atherton. It appeared from the evidence that the elder prisoner, who had been tempering with Quinn, an apprentice, had gone early one morning to the back door of the warehouse which Quinn had in charge, and had induced him to give him the glasses. A police officer happened to be paSsing at the time, and hearing the sound of the glasses in a basket, with which Meredith was making off, he stopped him, and the felony was consequently discovered. The pri soner, Quinn, received an excellent character for honesty up to the present charge from the prosecutor, and also from his former master. th prisoners were found guilty. Mere dith denied having previously been convicted at the Liverpool Sessions of a former felony,—also stealing glass,—but the fact.was proved. The Recorder, in passing sentence, said that the offence of Meredith was of a most aggravated nature. He had seduced a young and innocent youth from the path of duty, and induced him to rob his master. He had before also been convicted of felony. The sentence of the court was, that he should be transported beyond the seas for the term of ten years. The sentence of Quinn was deferred, and he was put down. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY. Mary Fennelly, aged 15, and Richard Fennelly, aged 34, here further were indicted, the first for having stolen fifty sovereigns, ninty nine half-sovereigns, and a bill of exchange for £72, the property of John Atkinson ; and the latter for receivin fifty sovereigns and the bill of exchange, he knowing them to have been stolen. The prisoner Mary Fennelly,:who appeared without a cap, or bonnett, is a good-looking girl, apparently younger than the age assigned her in the calledar. Mr. VENABLES stated the case for the prosecution. Mary Atkinson sworn. lam the wife of John Atkinson, a button-maker, in Chorley-street. The prisoner Mary Fennelly, came into my service, as a maid of all work, in May last. She left on the 27th of August last. On the 27th of August, I wrapped.up 50 sovereigns in one paper, and 49 in another, in sovereign and half-sovereigns. There were two fifties, but my husband took one out. I put them in a box where there was a 1,01 of exchange for £72. I locked the box and put it under my own bed. 1 went out soon after. I stayed about an hour. I left her in charge of the house. I returned before twelve o'clock. Mary Fennelly had then gone and left the doors open. I:did not see her again till after she was brought from Ireland. I went to my box and found it locked. I opened it, and missed the money named, and the bill. I also missed, out of a small box in the drawers, — two brooches, a pair of earrings, a crooked sixpence of the reign of Geo. 11.. &c. The bill was drawn in favour of Mr. Atkinson. Cross-examined by Mr. Murphy. The bill was a duplicate. The first bill had been paid. John Atkinson.—l am the husband of the last witness, and live in Chorley-street. I left the amount stated when I went to Dublin. 1 went in company with Ainsworth to Ireland, and finally the male prisoner was taken at Gregnamara. 1 afterward saw him in custody. The sovereigns were tied up in brown paper with a black string. Ann Coady, an old woman, said.—l live in Waterford. I knew Mary Fennelly. She came to my house on the 29th of Augustlast. She came smartly dressed, and my grandaughter did not at first know her. We welcomed her in. She went away but returned. We said we were glad to see her so well off. She said her father had £4 for evey boiling of soap. We were all very happy to hear it. She took out a brown paper, and counted 49 sovereigns and half-sovereigns. She said a captain's son had given them to her. She also showed us some small coins and a crooked sixpence. Cross-examined by Mr. MURPHY.—What are you Mrs. Coady ? Witness.—l am an honest woman. (Laughter.) Mr. MURPHY.—And how long have you been an honest woman ? Witness.—l have been an honest woman for seventy years, and that was before you were born. (Loud laughter.) Joseph Carney said—l am a publican and baker in Water ford. The prisoners came into my house on the 29th of August. The male prisoner called for a quart of ale, and on trust, and I refused. The male prisoner took out a note for £72 at 61 days sight. I said it was not a cash note. He then produced aome gold, but I do not know how much. A witness of Liverpool said—On the 27th of August I saw the two prisoners on board the Waterford Steam-packet. Mary Finnelly remained on board, Richard came away. Brian Corbett said he apprehended the male prisoner on the 2d of September, at Gregnamana. I afterwards appre hended the daughter, and found those articles upon her— several pieces of silver, a brooch, &c. Mrs. Atkinson swore to one of the coins, the brooch, a piece of a ring, and some tinsel or bullion for embroidering. Thomas Ainsworth, constable, accompanied Atkinson, and was with him when the male prisoner was apprehended. He (the prisoner) on being questioned why he had left Liverpool, said that he had gone after his daughter, who he had heard had gone off with a man. The female prisoner was after wards apprehended, and she said that her father and mother had, left Liverpool, and she did not like to remain away from them. _ _ _ Mr. MURPHY entered into an argument with a view to show that there wss a separate jurisdiction in Ireland ; that as there was no proof of the receiving by the male pri soner in this country ; and, therefore, he was not triable in England. The only portion of the property traced to him was the bill of exchange, and that was in Ireland. The RECORDER said he should reserve the paint. Mr. MURPHY then addressed the jury. He admitted that he had no defence for one of the prisoners. A respectable lady had sworn to depositing the money in the box, which she afterwards missed, and portions of it had been traced to her and identified. With regard to the other prisoner, they hed heard the objection be had made, but he would not de tain them on that, as the Recorder had - reserved the point. The RECORDER said he should proceed to charge the jury on that as well as the other parts of the case. Mr. MURPHY said, by such a course the point reserved would be neutralized and of no avail. He, therefore, ad dressed the jury on that point, contending that the receiving was in Ireland ; and if so found, the prisoner must be ac quitted on this indictment. It would be for the court to take what steps might be thought proper ; but the offence being committed in Ireland, where there was a different ju risdiction, he must there be tried, if tried at all, and not in England. The Learned RECORDER then summed up at considerable length, and the jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoners guilty, and the male prisoner of receiving in this country. The female prisoner said, " Gentlemen, have mercy upon my father : he knew nothing about my transactions." The RECORDER said,—" Richard Fennelly, the jury, in your case, have come to. a very correct verdict. 'Whether you were accessary to the robbery itself, I cannot say ; but when the crime was committed, and your daughter had left her service, it was your first duty, that very moment, to her as a father, and your duty to her master, as an honest man, to cause immediate restitution of the property. In place of that, you received the bill, and, no doubt, a large sum of the money, and went to Ireland, there to share the spoil. 1 might transport you for fifteen years, but will not go to that extent. With regard to the girl, her guilt is clearly esta blished, and the sentence of the court is, that you both be transported beyond the seas for ten years." Here the female prisoner exclaimed in a loud and agoniz ing voice, " Oh, gentlemen, have mercy on my father ! have mercy on him ! he has got a heavy family." This she con tinued to repeat, in a frantic tone, till she was forcibly taken from the bar. After the prisoners had been put down, it was stated by the Recorder, that not one farthing of the money taken had been recovered,—so that in all probability; the family in Ireland were now enjoying it. Charles Giles, 19, was charged with having stolen four pairs of boots, three pairs of shoes, a coat, a vest, a pair of breeches, &c., the property of Thomas Vernon, in whose service he was. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Vernon, and another gen tleman, in whose service he had formerly been, spoke in his behalf, stating that up to the present transaction he had con ducted himself with great propriety. The Recorder said that he should consider of the sentence to be passed upon the pri soner, and he was put down. Ellen Williams, 32, was indicted for having stolen two Bank of England notes, of the value of £lOO each, one Bank of England note, of the value of £5O, three sovereigns, and one half-sovereign, the property of James Kenyon. The pri soner, who was far advanced in pregnancy, pleaded guilty, — stating that she did not know that the money was so valuable. It appeared that the prisoner was in the service of the pro secutor, who put the money into a drawer in a room in the garret, in which the prisoner slept. The prisoner broke open the drawer, and took away the money, all of which, with the exception of £1 Bs., was afterwards recovered. The sentence of the court was that she should be transported for ten years. The prisoner fainted on hearing her sentence, which was un expectedly severe, and was carried out of court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-FRIDAY. AN ARGUMENT IN FAVOUR OF PHRENOLOGY. A shipkeeper was placed at the bar on a charge of having stolen three pieces of canvass from on board a vessel which he had been hired to watch. Though there were strong suspi cions against the prisoner, there was no direct evidence of the charge of the theft ; but the man himself put the matter beyond doubt, by saying, " It is quite true that I took the canvas from the vessel, but I do not know what induced me to do so. I have never been in such a place as this before." The captain of the vessel also stated that the conduct of the prisoner, whom he had frequently employed as a shipkeeper, had hitherto been unexceptionable; so it appears pretty evi dent that the poor fellow must have been involuntarily driven into the act by an excessive developement of the organ of secretiveness. . . He was sentenced to one month's imprisonment, the usual expedient adopted for reducing the size or activity of that lump. ATROCIOUS ASSAULT. Mr. Hardy, together with his son, a boy of about 15 years of age, appeared before the police magistrate for the purpose of obtaining a summons against a foolhardy fellow, named Pickup, a car-driver, for having first picked up a quarrel with his son, and then thrown a pail of water upon him (Mr. Hardy.) The boy, at the direction of his father, stated his com plaint. He said—on Wednesday, I was in a street at the back of 'West Derby-street, when Pickup called me a softy. I asked him who he was calling a softy, and he told me to go about my business. I told him the street was as open to me as to him, and that I would not go away. He then said that he would make me; and I said— Mr. Rushton.—Well, well, what did lie do ? Complainant.—He struck ine on the shoulder with his fist, and on the leg with an altar. (Query, a halter.) Mr. Hardy.—l went to remonstrate with him on his con duct to my son, sir, and he threw a pail of water on me. Mr. Rushton.—And you want a summons against him fur throwing a pail of water on you? Mr. Hardy.—Yes, sir, I do. Mr. Rushton.—Very well; take it. APPLICATION ON A CHARGE OF OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES. Lieutenant Low appeared before the magistrate to ask his assistance in a case of some importance, in which certain individuals, calling themselves J. V. Hughes and Co., and representing themselves as agents, had obtained money from two individuals in the following manner : Mr. Wtn. Frederick Johnson said-1 saw in a Kent paper, an advertisement for several persons to go out to ports in the United States, as agents for J. V. Hughes and Co. I answered the advertisement, and in consequence of the com munication which took place I came down to Liverpool. On the sth of September last, I entered into an agreement with Mr. Peter Hughes, who terms himself James Vincent Hughes. I was to be an agent for the collecting of freights, the disposing of consignments, and the receiving cf passage money, in New York. He (M r, Peter Hughes) required from me a security of £2OO, £l5O of which I paid down. He allowed me the remaining £5O as a half year's salary in advance. Mr. Rushton.—Then you have never been in New York. Mr. Johnson.—No, sir ; I have not. Mr. Rushton.—l am sorry that it is a case out of my jurisdiction. I am not aware that I can do anything to re lieve you.' The case is one that shows how extremely cau tious strangers ought to be, and apply to houses of re spectability. Such houses have no occasion to apply by advertisement for agents, as they can make their arrange ments without. Mr. Johnson.—They have taken my little all. Mr. Ellis.—There is another case of a similar nature, in wich the person advanced as security £lO3, and received back £2O. Mr. Johnson.—l tried to get a passage from him yesterday, as I have relations in New York, and I thought it better to get that than lose my all. He said that he would let me have one, and this morning I found that my name is inserted in the passage list of the Irving, for a passage for myself, my wife, and child; but the captain knows nothing about it, nor did I till this morning. Mr. Rushton.—l would interfere very promptly if I could; but the thing is of such a nature that, though I may have a very strong opinion about it, I cannot do so. The magistrate advised the applicants how to proceed, and they then left the court. AN ORDERLY HOUSE. Inspector M•Gill, supported by a police-officer, laid an in formation against Mrs. Wood, the keeper of a public-house in Cockspur-street, for having had in her house several drunken persons, . and for permitting disorderly conduct therein. The Inspector stated that at a quarter to twelve o'clock on (we think) Tuesday night last, he, in company with an officer, entered the house of Mrs. Wood, and in different rooms he found altogether thirty-two persons, several of whom were drunk. Amongst them were twelve females, three at least of whom be knew to be prostitutes, and , fiddling and dancing was going on. One man was dressed in woman's clothes, and was dancing. Mr. Davenport, who appeared for the defendant, said that the house was one at which several " beneficial clubs" met, that tsfice a week the Rev. Mr. Wilcox and the Rev. Mr. Croft (catholic priests) attended for the purpose of managing the club. On Tuesday night, however, they were absent ; but there was only one man in the house who was drunk, and he had been requested to leave before Inspector M`Gill en tered. In proof of this statement, Mr. Davenport called witnesses. The first was Mr. Murray (the Brougham Institute lecturer) who said that the club which met on a Tuesday night was a male and female club, consisting of about 400 members. From the beginning of his connexion with the society, down to the present day, he had never seen a prostitute in the house. Se veral Irish women were also called, most of whom stated that they had been in the house from half-past eight to half-past elo en, and they had not seen any drunken or disorderly charalt c•rs. Mr. Rushton.—Well, what does all this amount to, Mr. Davenport ? You have not asked one question as to disor der, but only as to disorderly characters. From the state ment of the officers, it appears, that there were th'rty-two ersons in the house, three of whom were drunk, three others were prostitutes, there was one man dressed in women's c'othes, and there was fiddling and dancing. The evidence of your irincipal witness extends only to within a quarter of an hour of the time mentioned. Mr. Davenport—But if a man chooses to enter her house in fema!e clothes, it is a very hard thing that she must be fined for it. Mr. Rushton—l think it is a very clear cage. Every Mon day there are brought before me from one to two hundred persons who have been found in the streets in a state of drunkenness, which would not be the case if publicans acted as they ought to act. Mrs. Wood was tined 40s. and costs. SATURDAY. STEALING MANURE. Edviaril Mutch was placed before - Mr. Rushton, charged with having stolen about a ton and a half of manure, worth seven shillings and sixpence per ton. It appeared that the prisoner went, on Tuesday last, to Mr. Smethurst, who had about twenty tons of stable dung, near his stable, Mill-place, Shaw's-brow, and asked the price of it. He was told the price, and that not less than the whole quantity could be sold. He, however, went to a person named Chorley, who is in the service of Mr. Atherton, a farmer, and coolly taking him to the heap, sold a load of the manure, and 'received payment. Mr. Smethurst missed his property, and, on inquiry amongst his neighbours, discovered the name that was on the cart. This led to the apprehension of the prisoner, who confessed the offence, and was committed for trial. YESTERDAY. SEEKING A SEPARATION. A middle aged man, of genteel exterior, was placed in the dock, charged by his better half with having, at sundry times, beaten and otherwise treated her with cruelty. The wife, with two witnesses, each gaily attired and respectable in their appearance, proved th assault. All the wife sought for was a separation from " the brute," as she could no lon ger live with him. She had been married seventeen years, and borne him several children. Her husband was in the re ceipt of £7O a-year,—a retiring pension as a superannuated tidewaiter. On hearing the husband's statement, it appeared she was generally the original transgressor, and that it had been agreed among the party themselves, that the present steps should be taken in order to have the magistrates' opinion and decision thereon, as she was continually harping npon her own capability of maintaining herself and children, if he would but leave " her alone in her glory." He was desirous of conforming to her wishes, and abiding by the result. She asked for the whole of the household furniture, which cost him at least £7OO, and a weekly allowance towards the sup port of the children. He was willing, on the magistrates' suggestion, to allow this, and 10s. weekly. How long such a separation will last, after a seventeen years' marriage, is doubtful. Mr. Feargus O'Connor, who is at present in Cork to su perintend the registries, has expressed his intention of offer mg himself as a candidate for the representation of the coun ty at the very first election. THEATRE ROYAL. Mr. Buckstone appears this evening in two attractive and amusing pieces. His new comedy `• Single Life," is to be represented for the first time. It proved eminently success-_, ful in London and met with a hearty approval from the audience—true critics—and all competent judges. " Toni Noddy's Secret" is the interlude. This is one of tile most amusing sketches which has been recently added to the stet - -; ling stock pieces of the acting drama. We like it because it leaves so much to be filled up at the discretion of the differ- _ ent actors, whose competency it therefore tests. As the immortal and bewildered " Thomas," Mr. Baker leaves nothing to be desired; and it is but justice to Mr. Slaiter to say that he has played Inkpen and filled it up—to the very stump !—like an artist. Mr. Buckstone is,a great little man in the part, and a deserved favourite from the freshness and originality of his style. Remarks were promised in respect of a new state of things which of late years have been deteriorating _theatrical pro perty in nearly all the principal towns of Great Britain. They . are reduced to writing but they would occupy too much space if published in the present number and shall therefore stand over till Friday or Tuesday next. Mr. G. Vandenhoff as was incidentally stated on Friday last, has made a most successful first appearance at Covent Garden. As was expected, the London press differ in opinion as to his qualifications for the arduous profession he has for years longed to enter as an ambitious candidate for fame. It will be satisfactory to all interested . in his piospetts - to be assured that his audience stamped his first effort with ap proval; that his management are satisfied with him', and will give him every fair .ppportunity for showing, of what " stuff" he is made; and, though last not least, that, to its credit, the metropolitan press, with but one inglori ous exception, has expressed itself, respecting him, in a manlier that bears with it a convincing evidence of its impartiality and discrimination. We must be understood as expressing ourselves generally : the details of the criti cism have amused us not a little. For instance, the tics now-a-days seem to desire young actors to be in every respect perfection—ready-made perfection! The truth is, people are expecting impossibilities. There is too much fastidious and highly wrought criticism indulged in'now-a days. One-half of the London press admits that -Mr. G. Vandenhoff has a good face, a good voice, `r:nira' good per son, &c., and yet at the heels of this comes 'some sating clause of disappointment ! 1 f 'this gentleman deserve a third of the favourable things that the coldest journalist among them has set down of him, let him be of good cheer.' He . has but to persevere ; and, if he devotedly study his husineSs, time, with the voice of a succession of audiences, Will do him justice. It is no longer in the power of any part-of the press, metro politan or . provincial, to write him or any deserving man down, whose cause is identified with the deliberate estiinate - of a pleasure-seeking community. Trial is the thing. Mr. Vanden hoff, has yet to learn his business as a novice, from itsveriest details ; and let his genius be great or small, it cannot appear in full feather till ;fledged by time and disciplined by sus - - tained practice. Had he failed, he needed not on that ac count to quit the arena. It is a matter of history that nearly :di of the best and first-rate actors and actresses of this'-eouri try and France, either failed miserab'y in their first essays, or were treated to " goose " (as hissing is metaphorically called) by the audience at night, and made giblets of in the' public prints for a week thereafter. Charles Kemble was all but unbearable for years, and it is notorious that Mrs. Siddons after prolonged practice in the country failed in London—not because she was thought to be 'without ability, but because her ability was misdirected -and ut terly repugnant to the metropolitan taste. To the prO, winces she returned, altered her style, reappeared in Loudon and carried every thing before her by the transcen dant power of her artistical execution. Edmund Kean was unnoticed till Dr. Drury saw him at Exeter, and induced the people of Drury-lane to try him as an experiment, to ward off threatened insolvency. The present manager of the Theatre Royal of Edinburgh, Mr. Murray, now one of the most pecu liar and unequalled artists on the stage, was hissed for several seasons in every part he attempted to get through. Time and determined perseverance turned the tables both . ways : • the actor succeeded at last in reducing his conception to exe cution in a way which commanded universal approval from every audience competent to appreciate his unquestionable talent for the stage. When Mr. G. Vandenhoff appears on the Liverpool boards he may rely on fair play andliberal support from its public and its press. • *** In reply to an inquirer, we have to state that no such phrase or words as indisputably expensive management" was ever used by any writer in'the STANDARD, or by any of our contemporaries save one. " Wrapt"' and not " wrapped" was the epithet employed in a critique on Miss Trees effective acting as lon. As every reader of Shakspere is aware " wrapt" means absorbed as Banquo says of Man beth in the scene after the prediction of the witches. ' See how our partner's tempt." Lastly, as every one ought to know who pretends to criticise the remarks of a " contem porary," the proscenium is that part of a thedtre which is ever exposed to the eyes of an audience, particularly 4 cvnen the curtain is down ; and as every educated schdOlboy knows, " proscenium" means all that part of a theatre in front of the curtain aforesaid, extending to the orchestra—tha part of the stage, across from the doors at the side, fOrmii* the base of the parallelogram. Miss Tree, when the curtain fell, passed across the proscenium on Thursday night.". THE NEW STEAM-SHIP, "NEW YOR(K" From the present competition in steam navigation . ; the ex t- • traordinary improvements which it has elicited in the size and construction of the vessels and engines,--giving promise of vast advantages in commercial andsociatintercoorse be tween countries and continents before separated.by almost insurmountable barriers,—may perhaps be dated a new era in the history of our country ; and the public interest which is excited by this modern branch of science will, doubtless, render acceptable in a sea-port like this, occasional notices of whatever is new in what may be called steani world. With this exordium, we proceed to ,gitdabtisq , ,and almost statistical description of "our" iimr• transatlantic steamer so far as regards her hull, in regard to'whiet},- con siderable curiosity has been 'excited: • 1(3 4 ;thki t The " New York" is now on the stoeltSlantaihe.iVartl of Messrs.

Seen, below, from the stern, or the stern-postit3he • appears to be a wooden world, and. one would scarcely ;pour, ceive that the elements, however outrageous, could affect so • huge a mass of floatable material. The frame of the " New York" is of English oak, the bends and clumps of English and African oak. Her bottom is of American elm and Baltic timber. She,is fastened on diagonal principle, by riders of iron let into the titnbers,and crossed at right angles by strong trusses of English oak. Her bottom plank is five inches in thickness, the diagertal wooden fastenings six inches. Her frame-is peculiarly con structed, her timbers being dowelled or " cooked" together ; in a scientific manner. Every alternate timber has a.serew bolt through it. She is tilled in fore and aft six feet above. the lower edge of the keel, and caulked, the whole forming a solid mass of timber. Her bolt and minor fastenings are en tirely of copper. Her bilge planks, clumps, and bends are six inches in thickness. In her flooring she has apparently from 12 to 14 inches of a rise from the keel to the bilge; and beimg otherwise finely modelled, and anything but wall sided, she can scarcely fail to attain an uncommon speed un der steam. On the deck the " New York" has a very noble appear ance, from her great length and beam, and her unencumbered deck room. It is remarkable that she is about the same - . length over all as the " Liverpool," (235 feet,) and that her principal cabin will also be abOut the same length,47s: feet.) She has, however, six feet more beam thari that favourite vessel, which it is considered will give her considerable 'ad. - • vantages. The cabin, not yet fitted up, is dridertftei , oop, the floor of which is continuous with the main Aeck, which ' .• . is thus " flush" fore and aft, a-great desideratinu asTegal-ds the strength of a vessel. She has 17 windo*pet#o#l each side to light the state rooms. Prizes are offered by the owners for the best plans of the • cabins.

MARTIN'S PICTURE OF' THE CORONATION. — This bril- - liant triumph of modern art, now exhibiting. at the,Lyecum, is beyond all doubt the most transcendent picture ever pro duced in Great Britain, whether taken-as..gorgeous whole, or in detail. As a whole, it is solemn, grand, nod massive ;• in parts, it is brilliant, sparkling, and finished. It islike the elder Kcan's acting,,, or Paganinni's fiddle playing, full of " touch and trick ;" yet when the critic begins (as he thinks) to find it out, after puzzling himself some time, he, :like worse judges, begins to consider that, be the effect produced . how it may, it is natural, exquisite, and charming. • In going to see the picture of the .coronatim, we should expect to . see nothing but a glittering display of finery and dress—a " Pageant "—it is so ; but then there is a dignity, a sub limity (if we may so express ourselves) that always prevails in the works of Martin. It is a day-dream realized, an Arabian night's entertainment—it is, lilerally, " painting the lily and gilding refined gold." It is what we in our juvenile years would imagine " a Lord Mayor's show," or a " coro nation " ti be. It has made us for a moment tura to the • time when we conceive that " London" was composed of nothing but sights like these. It has wale us think of our - youthful ruminations once more. In short,it willbe a lasting - record of the " glorious doings of that • day."
