SWEETMAN'S newly-discovered HELIO- Ba TYPE PROCESS of PORTRAITURE is in constant operation, from Nine till Dusk, at his Rooms, 28, BOLD STREET. This improvement consists in the use of a new Photographic agent, which gives a much more sensitive surface to the plate, at the same time adding a richness and brilliancy of tone to the picture altogether unattainable by the use of lodine, as practised in the Daguerrotype. In the very dullest weather the time of sitting does not exceed more than ten or twenty seconds, To those whose sight is weak this must he a great advantage; in fact, a strong sun light upon the eyes, in any case, should be avoided, as it is calculated to disturb the natu ral expression of the features. Mr. S. already possesses a right from the Patentee to use the Daguerrotype in Liverpool, so that his process is no infringe ment upon that, but an improvement thereon. Prices from 12s. 6d. upwards.

BUTTER PRESERVED Br BOILING.—A physician, who has travelled through Switzerland, describes a process of preserving butter as adopted in that country, and which he states to be far preferable to the English plan of salt ing. The'process is as follows :—lnto a clean copper pan (better, no doubt, tinned) put any quantity of butter, say from 20 lb. to 40 lb., and place it over a gentle fire, so that it may melt slowly, and let the heat be so graduated that the melted mass does not come to the boil in less than about two hours. During all this time the butter must be frequently stirred, say once in five or ten mi nutes, so that the whole mass may be thoroughly inter mixed, and the top and bottom change places from time to time. When the melted mass boils, the fire is to be so regulated as to keep the butter at a gentle boil for about two hours more, the etirring being continued, but not necessarily so frequent as before. The vessel is then to be removed from the fire, and set aside to cool and settle, still gradually: this process of cooling is supposed also to require about two hours. The melted mass is then, while still liquid, to be carefully poured into the crock or jar in which it is to be kept. In the process of cooling there is deposited a whitish cheesy sediment, pro portioned to the quantity of butter, which is to be care fully prevented from intermixing with the preserved but ter. The caseous grounds are very palatable and nutri tious, and are constantly used as food. Butter so prepared will last for years perfectly good, without any particular precaution being taken to keep it from the air, or without the slightest addition of salt. FACILITY OF LEARNING THE WELSH LANGTJAGE.— It is a mistaken idea to suppose that the Welsh language is hard to be acquired—the very reverse of this is the fact ; there is probably no spoken language of Europe, not derived from the Latin, which may be so soon or so agreeably acquired as the Welsh. A good knowledge of it, so as to enable the learner to read and write it cur rently, may be attained certainly within a year by even a moderately diligent student : and the power of converging in it with ease and fluency is to be gained within the course of perhaps a couple of years. The language is daily studied more and more by persons not connected with the Principality and acquired by them : nay, what is a remarkable fact, next to the galaxy of the Williamses. the best Welsh scholar of the present day is Dr. Meyer, the learned German librarian at Buckingham Palace ; while Dr. Thirlwall, the present Bishop of St. David's, has made himself, with only a few year's study, as good a Welsh scholar as lie had long before been a German one. We believe that, if the present system of eCuca tion be steadily carried out with its consequent develop ments in the Principality, the two languages, English and Welsh, will become equally familiar to those who may be born in the second generation from the present day ; and that the inhabitants of Wales, becoming thoroughly Li. lingual—for we do not anticipate that they will abandon their ancient tongue—this apparent obstacle to a more complete amalgamation of interests between the two races will be entirely removed. One thing is certain, that the aptitude of Welsh children to learn English of the purest dialectic kind is very remarkable, and the desire to acquire English is prevalent amongst all the people.—Blackwood.. THE EVERY-DAY LIFE 0 - F LORD BACON.—During meditation he often had music in another room, by which his fancy was enlivened. He had many little whims and peculiarities, some of which may excite a smile : for in stance, in the spring he would go out for a drive in his open coach whilst it rained, to receive (in the quaint lan guage of Aubrey) " the benefit of irrigation," which he was wont to say was very wholesome, " because of the nitre in the air and the universal spirit of the world." He had extraordinary notions respecting the virtue of nitre, and conceived it to be of inestimable value in the preservation of health. So great was his faith that he swallowed three grains of that drug, either alone or with saffron, in warm broth every morning during thirty years ! He seemed to have been very fond of quacking himself : once a week he took a dose of the " water of Mithridate" diluted with strawberry water. Once a month, at least, he made a point of swallowing a grain and a-half of " castor" in his broth and breakfast for two successive days ; and every sixth and seventh day he drank an infu sion of rhubarb in white wine and beer immediately before his dinner. He made it a point to take air in some high and open place every morning, the third hour after sun rise ; and, if possible, he selected a spot where he could enjoy the perfume of musk, roses, and sweet violets. Besides thus breathing the pure air of nature, he was fumigated with the smoke of lign-aloes, with dried bays and rosemary, adding once a week a little tobacco. On leaving his bed, he was anointed all over with oil of almonds, mingled with salt and saffoon, and this was fol lowed by gentle friction. He was rather a hearty feeder, and, when young, preferred game and poultry ; but, in after life, gave the choice to butchers' meat which had been well beaten before being roasted. At every meal his table was strewed with flowers and sweet herbs. Half an hour before supper he took a cup of wine or ale hot or spiced, and once during supper wine in which gold had been quenched. The first draught which he drank at dinner and supper always hot, and on retiring to bed he ate a piece of bread steeped in a mix ture of wine, syrup of roses, and amber, and washed it down with a cup of ale to compose his spirits and send him to sleep. In the spring he was fond of a glass of spiced pomenranate wine early in the morning, and greatly enjoyed water cresses. These little points may be unimportant in themselves, but they assist us in drawing a mental portrait of the math—Bentley's Miscellany. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS.) TA'rTERSALL'S.—LAsT NIGHT.

The. English funds have undergone a decline this morning, which is attributed to the disquieting nature of the intelligence received from Constantinople. Consols opened per cent lower than the closing prices of Saturday, namely 921 to for money, and 22i to 1 for acc,unt ; they have since partly recovered, be ing quoted at present 921 to 1 for money, and 921 to I for time. Exchequer bills maintain the rates of Saturday, being marked 38s. and 41s. premium. LONDON SHARE MARKET.-YESTERDAY. The share market is heavy this morning, in sympathy with the depression in the Cousol market, and prices of most de scriptions rule lower. Caledonians have experienced a further considerable decline in value; they were last done l3i. Mid lands are lower also, and mark 49k. Newcastle and Berwicks, 171. Great Northerns are more steady. Boulogne and Amiens obtained 6 this morning, and Rouen and Havre No other dealings have taken place in foreign shares. LONDON CORN MARKET.-YESTERDAY. Our market was tolerably well supplied with English Wheat by land carriage samples from the near counties; white Wheat about maintained the rates of Monday last, but red declined Is. per quarter. The demand for foreign Wheat was limited in the extreme, and that little for the most part confined to the finer descriptions, at a reduction of Is. per qr. Flour unaltered in value. Choice qualities of English Malting Barley, being scarce, commanded former prices ; all other sorts Is. cheaper. Foreign Barley sold in retail, without alteration in value. Although the sale of Oats was slow, purchases could not be made on easier terms than on this day se'nnight. English Beans and Peas must be quoted Is. lower. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.-YESTERDAY. We have again a large supply of Beasts, but the choicest qualities are not very plentiful. Trade is exceedingly dull, owing to the mild weather, and this being Michaelmas week, only little meat is wanted. The most selling descriptions, be cause of their scarcity, are not much lower, but several middling qualities cannot be sold. The number of Sheep is rather less; it is, however, more than adequate to the demand, which is very limited. A few choice Downs still make 4s. The trade for Calves continues very bad. From Germany and Holland there are 934 Beasts, 4,710 Sheep, and 58 Calves ; Leicester and Northampton, 2,000 Beasts ; Lincoln, 400; and Cambridge, 100. The Archbishop of Canterbury has expressed a wish in a letter to the clergy of his diocese that Friday the sth, or Wednesday the 10th inst., be set apart as a day of fasting and humiliation. WRECK.—lntelligence has been received of the foun dering at sea of the brig Jane, of Sunderland, from Liver pool, with a general cargo, bound for California. On the Bth of September the vessel sprang a serious leak, in con sequence of pitching and rolling in the heavy cross seas for several days; the leak gained so fast that the captain decided upon abandoning her, and the crew accordingly :took to the boats, not being able to save any of their personal effects, shortly after which the vessel sank. On the 9th of September they were fortunately picked up by the American bark Roderick Dhu, from New York, bound to Madeira. AN ALDERMANIC PLOUGHMAN.—At the Lichfield Agricultural Dinner, on Wednesday, the chairman (Lord Alfred Paget, M.P.) begged to announce that they had a new acquisition to the society in th 2 person of Alderman Copeland, and he had authority to state that the worthy alderman challenged any member of the society to plough with him—(laughter)—for any amount on receiving four teen days' notice. The worthy alderman would hold the plough himself. (Cheers and laughter.) The capabilities of Alderman Copeland as a ploughman were then can vassed, and offers were made of large odds in his favour. It appeared to be understood that some one would be found to try his mettle.—Wolverhamplon Chronicle. WESTERN PRODUCE.—The past season has witnessed a considerable increase in the receipts of most leading arti cles of western production, as compared with last year, and a glance at our tables will show a corresponding augmen tation in our exports. The arrivals of flour are 1,013,177 barrels, against 706,958 barrels last year ; of Indian corn equal to 4,785,000 bushels, against 3,600,000 last year; of wheat equal to 475,000 bushels, against 300,000 bushels last year ; of corn meal the arrivals are much less, being only 12,097 barrels, against 47,543 barrels last year. The total exports of flour amount to 778,370 barrels, against 472,519 barrels last year. Of this quantity 165,458 bar rels have been shipped to Great Britain and Ireland, 54,493 to the West Indies, &c., and the remainder to coastwise ports. Of Indian corn the total exports are equal to 3,662,000 bushels, against 3,059,000 last year. Of this quantity 2,361,000 bushels have been shipped to Great Britain and Ireland, 313,000 to the West Indies, &c., and the remainder to coastwise ports. Of wheat the exports to Great Britain and Ireland have been equal to 100,000 bushels, and of the remainder of the receipts a part was consumed by our city mills, but the bulk was shipped to the north. The comparative exports to Great Britain and Ireland, from all the ports of the United States, from September 1 to August 1 in the past two years were as follow: Flour, barrels 178,782 Corn meal, barrels Wheat, bushels Corn, bushels 4,134,912 12,536,758 —New York Herald.

LADY BLEESINOTON AND THE BASKET-MAKER.—On more occasions than one, Lady Blessington showed her self the friend of obscure but deserving genius. Of this her notice of Thomas Miller, the basket-maker, author of " Royston Gower," affords a remarkable instance. As soon as he became known by his writings, Lady Blessing ton sent for him, recommended his book, and did him substantial service. Often (Miller himself says) have I been sitting in Lady Blessington's splendid drawing-room in the morning, talking and laughing as familirr as in the old house at home.; and in the same evening I might have been standing on Westminster-bridge, between an apple-vendor and a baked potato-merchant, vending my baskets.— Tait's Magazine. POLITICAL PROSPECTS OF FRANCE. The middle classes in the towns would prefer the Orleans dynasty, and until the magic name of Napoleon had been pro nounced, a fusion of dynastic interests appeared advisable, and of no difficult accomplishment. The middle classes do not relish the idea of a restoration of an elder branch, with which they associate aristocracy and jesuitism ; but they might have been brought to accept a compromise, which would open the prospect of a return of the Or leanists, which was emphatically a bourgeois dynasty. Louis Napoleon, whether by taste or policy, has turned towards the bourgeoisie. His prime minister is the poli tical disciple and successor of Lafayette. Thus with the peasantry and small proprietary at his back, with the clergy by no means hostile, he turns to the bourgeoisie: should he succeed in winning over this powerful class, he would combine the partisans of both branches. — The bourgeoisie will not, however, be easily made to forget the position they enjoyed under Louis-Philippe. They will be the less disposed to forget it on account of the injuries they are enduring at the hands of the So cialists, while they are so feebly defended by the Republi cans. With the shopkeepers and merchants and manu facturers, the Duchess of Orleans and the Prince de Join ville are as popular as is the Duke of Bordeaux in the Faubourg St. Germain.—Corkran's History of the Na tional Assembly. A KAFIR ScuooL. — A door, apparently in a wall, opened. No sound of uproarious mirth, angry remon strance, or ill-humoured complaining, proclaimed the character of its inmates, or, indeed, gave one the idea that it was occupied at all. We entered; some twenty Kafir boys of various ages, almost all tolerably clothed, presented themselves to our view, some reading, some studying their lessons, and others writing. The centre of the group was Letitia—a Christian Kafir girl. Now, Letitia had beer. brought to England, and a certain clique of people at home chose to say that she was one of many hundreds—nay, some thousand Christian Kafirs. The fact is that Letitia, instead of being the rule, is the exception. She is one Christian Kafir among many thousand heathens! What struck us most forcibly in Letitia's little school was the repose of the scene. The Kafir children are as calm in their manner as their war rior fathers, and we were singularly impressed with the musical tones of both teacher and pupils, as they read their Bible in English and in their own soft language. Strangely sounded, among these children, Letitia's ques tion, " Who was Jesus Christ ?" And a little Kafir boy lifted up his dark eyes, and answered reverently, " He was the Son of God." And then they sang, or rather breathed a hymn, and we went out from that little place of refuge very hopeful for the Kafir children under the care of the good emigrants, but unaltered in our notion of the irreclaimability gf the older generation,—Past and Future Emigration, GENERAL TRADE REPORT. Monday Afternoon. The intelligence from Constantinople, doubtless of the highest importance, bears upon it no impress calculated to operate prejudicially in commercial circles. That Russia and Austria would act in such a domineering manner towards Turkey, if the latter power stood isolated in this matter, as to endanger the peace of that portion of the world, is clearly to be deduced from the general con duct of Russia, wherever an opportunity presents itself of furthering her ambitious pretensions ; but backed as the Porte is by the French Ambassador and Sir Stratford Canning, we have no doubt that the Czar and his protege, upon second thoughts, will find it expedient to rest satisfied with the atrocities already perpetrated, with out thirsting for any further vengeance. Consols are quoted this afternoon in London at 921 to 13 for money, and 924 tot for time, which is only 8 decline trom the closing prices of Saturday, and chews that the arrival of these despatches has had but little effect upon the money market. The Share market, during the pact week, has been decidedly more firm, notwithstanding the continued exer tions of the tears to depress prices. The settlement just passed has been got over with difficulty, from the scarcity of stock ; but by dint of borrowing to a very considerable extent the bears have almost surmounted their difficulties for the present. The public, however, have been large buyers, and should this co tinue, especially at the present time when the whole press, from the Times downwards. is recommending wise shareholders to withhold sales, there must be a material advance in prices. Our market to-day is quiet, and business has been done at the follow ing prices :—Caledonian pref., 93; Do. old shares, 134 ; Leeds sths, 64 1 dis. ; London stock, 1121 ; Do. 4-shares, 13/9 4 pm. ; Do. sths, 1 4 pm, ; Midland stock, 51 : Do. 4-shares, 181 dis. •, Shrewsbury pref., 154 ; Dover, N 0.4, 6 1/3, 6 ; Great Northern pref., 21 dis. ; West Ridings, 64 dis. ; Newcastle pref., 4 16/3 dis. The decline in the value of breadstuffs generally, which, as we predicted, has only been temporarily checked of late, is again progressing, and, without a single excep tion, the markets of the United Kingdom come cheaper, in many instances a depreciation of 2s. per quarter having taken place in the quotations for Wheat, and most other articles being proportionately lower.' The following ex tract from a Limerick letter, dated Saturday,•supplies several important facts relative to the yield of the various crops in that district; and the remarks bearing upon the value of Indian Corn are of the utmost conse quence to those of our Liverpool merchants who deal largely in that article : " Wheat is fully an average crop; its condition is much better than for the two last years, still our customary preparations of kiln-drying will be requisite. The breadth of land under Barley has been larger than usual, but the crop is light, and a large portion of it still uncut, and some green; farmers will be likely to hold much of this for their own use, as they fear the Potato will not keep. Oats is also an average crop, of good quality, and is coming freely to market. The demand. for Indian Corn has fallen off so much that the sales are quite in. significant; the advance in price demanded by holders is certainly not warranted by the state of our market, and we do not respond to the improved rates quoted by others, nor can we anticipate any advance for a considerable time, taking into account the very distressed state of our population—the diffi culties in which most of our poor-law unions are—the low price of inferior grain of home-growth, and abundant yield of Pota toes, which, though disease has appeared, is likely from the dryness of the season to afford food for several months. We I believe this is the general opinion here—a house doing a large consignment business having lately taken a contract for sup plying a poor-law union with Indian Meal for 41 4s. per ton, which, after deducting cost of delivery all over the union, about 10s. per ton, and a like sum for manufacturing charges, will leave but 46 is. per ton for the Corn : from this it appears that this house having, doubtless a good source of information, looks for a decline in the price of this article, which they now quote at 46 15s. per ton here." There has been rather more inquiry for Indian Corn in Brunswick-street to-day, and holders being somewhat firmer in consequence of the unfavourable accounts about the potatoes from Ireland, a slight advance upon Friday's quotations has been asked, and, in some instances, par tially acquired. Flour remains unaltered, but fully main tains its price, with occasional sales; but the inland mar kets being again rather lower for wheat, the trade here has in some measure participated.—At Mark-lane, to day, there was a fair display of samples of wheat from Kent, and a moderate amount from Essex. The demand for good qualities was such as to keep up prices, but infe rior samples and foreign sold tardily at rather lower rates. The supplies of good malting barley were scanty, and maltsters were obliged to purchase at present rates, say 30s. to 325. ; grinding and foreign sold slowly at for mer prices. The quantity of English oats, fresh up, was small. Good kinds supported former prices; and in foreign and inferior there was little alteration. Beans and peas unvaried. Millers ask last Monday's prices for flour. _ _ _ Although the arrival of the Niagara is anxiously waited for by all parties connected with the cotton market, the demand from the trade has been better again to-day, at steady prices, and upwards of 6000 bales (mostly Ameri can descriptions) have been sold, including 1000 to specu lators and exporters. The Wool trade was rather quiet here last week, owing, no doubt, in a great measure, to the London sales, which are now proceeding ; but it is fully expected that so soon as they close we shall have a good business doing. The stocks with us continue light, and prices are well sup ported. There has been a fair demand for Sugar since the circular, and the sales reach 100 hhds. Barbadoes, a few Porto Ricos, and 1000 bags Bengal, the latter at an aver age of 38s. for dates, and 41s. to 425. 6d. for good and fine white Benares. We have had more inquiry for Molasses for the last two or three days, but the prices offered go so low that it has not led to business-16s. has been refused for middling Barbadoes. Rice continues in request, and holders are looking for higher prices. In Tea there is no change, and the market is quiet. Our iron trade generally is in a very depressed state ; expectations, however, are entertained that the arrival of the steamer will tend to animate the market. To-day's quotations are 425. to 425. 6d. for mixed numbers; and for No 1. Gartsherrie, 445. 6d. cash, f. o. b. at Glasgow. The arrivals of timber from British America. during the past month, consisted of 44 vessels, 25,476 tons, against 32 vessels, 21,156 tons, in same month last year. Messrs. Chaloner and Fleming, in their circular, pub lished on Saturday, state that — "There has been a considerable amount of business done during the month, with an animated demand from the country, stimulated by the unprecedentedly low rates of carriage which have been current, through the competition of the railways and canal carriers, thus evidencing how closely connected with the prosperity of the port are low rates of transit to the interior, as they will give a more commanding influence to the market in the supply of American woods, even to monopoly, if a per manently cheap rate be established, coupled with such facilities as can be afforded by the Town Council and Dock Committee, by connecting by rails the places of deposit with the railways and shipping wharves : just now the freight- to Manchester is only 28. 6d. per ton, while the local carriage to the railway or wharf is Is. 3d. per ton. For St. John's Pine very full rates have been obtained, with improved rates for Spruce Deals, and Quebec woods may be considered to have fully maintained themselves, for while (9uality considered) there has been no advance, there has certainly been no receding in prices." Messrs. Holme, Slater, and Crook, also state that,— The arrivals froM the Baltic are 9 vessels, 2496 tons, against 4 vessels, 845 tons, in the corresponding month last year. Most of the arrivals from the British colonies have been sold on ar rival ; an advance on the previous month's prices have been obtained. Spruce, &c., Deals only arriving sparingly, and the freights inland being at the present time unprecedently low this article has considerably advanced, and is likely to improve on the present rates. Although the week's arrivals of Irish Butter have been large-10,286 firkins, 1,191 crocks—prices have gradually improved since our last, and a fair amount of business has been transacted ; but on Saturday the demand was considerably checked by holders increasing the advance to 3s. per cwt. on the week, and it is questionable whe ther dealers will, or will not, submit to this enhancement. Lard is a shade dearer. Other Irish Provisions move slowly. The amount of business transacted in American provi sions, during the past week, has been limited ; " yet," say Messrs. Black, Barnes, and Whittingham, " prices are fully maintained, owing to the gradual clearing of stocks, particularly the lower qualities, and the almost entire absence of imports, while, on the other hand, higher rates have been prevented in consequence of the low prices and large supplies of fresh meat in the markets throughout the country." DEATH OF MR. GEORGE HENRY WARD.—This gen tleman died at Norfolk House, Isle of Wight, on Thurs day, after a lingering illness, in the 66th year of his age. Dying without issue, his estates, which are considerable, being situate in the Isle of Wight, and on the borders of Sussex, go to his nephew, the Rev. George William Ward, the proceedings against whom, at Oxford, and his secession from the church, are doubtless in the memory of our readers. MORE RAILWAY JOBBING.—A singular case will be brought on in the Queen's Bench during the ensuing term, which is likely to show to what extent jobbing has been carried on by several of the leading railway com panies. In 1844 and 1845 a railway was projected from Exeter to Crediton, which was subsequently sanctioned by Parliament. Previously to the passing of the act, however, an agreement was come to with the directors of that company for leasing the line on its completion to the Bristol and Exeter Comany (the line being a broad gauge one). The agreement was subsequently confirmed by the proprietors of both companies, and a formal ratification of the agreement was on the point of being concluded, with the consent of the proprietors of the Exeter and Crediton Company. At a meeting of the proprietors, held a few days afterwards, a large majority of votes was suddenly produced against the leasing of the line to the Bristol and Exeter Company. Thim, it appears, was occasioned by purchases and subdivision of shares among parties con nected with the Taw Vale and South-western Compaaics with the funds of these companies. It further appeared that the parties voting on the occasion referred to had not been one week on the company's register, and were not the real, but only nominal, holders of the shares in respect of which they voted. The South western Railway, having agreed to subscribe towards, and take a lease of the Taw Vale Railway, wished to become possessed of the Exeter and Crediton line, as forming an important link in their intended chain of railway communication, and admit that they advanced £30,000 to the Taw Vale Company, with the aid of this money, purchased 1,700 shares in the Exeter and Crediton Railway, and the South-western Company also admit that they paid a deposit and a call, amounting, to £4, on 6,850 shares, of £2O each, in the existing capital of the Taw Vale Railway, and also a de posit of 10 per cent. on one:fourth part of their proposed capital. The plaintiffs in the suit complain that the Exeter and Crediton line has been finished and ready for opening for nearly two years, and that it is a great incon venience to the public and landowners, who gave up their land in order that the line might be made for the benefit of the district, and they will, therefore, move for a man damus against the directors to show cause why they do not open the line. The object of the South western Company in getting possession of the line was to complete their chain of communication to Exeter and Barnstaple. If they succeed, it will be necessary to alter the Exeter and Crediton to the narrow guage. POLICE 1r COURT. - _ ESTERDAY. EXTENSIVE HOUSE ROBBERY IN GREAT HOMER STREET.—It will be remembered that we last week no ticed a robbery of jewellery and plate from the house of Mr. Harclisty, No. 207, Great Homer -street, and that the parties in custody were remanded for a week. They were again brought up yesterday. Their names are Glew, Smith, Thornton, and Christopher. A gentleman, named Henry Vessey, lodged in the house, a working jeweller and dealer ; and while he and the rest of the family were at church, on the morning of Sunday week, the premises were broken into as it appeared, about noon• day. On their return they found that a predatory inroad had been made, and, on looking about, Mr. Vessey discovered that his portmanteau and jewel-case had been broken open, and nearly all the valuable contents, to the value of £4O, taken away. A quantity of silver plate, belonging to another party, was also missed; but the owner was not present yesterday. Information was given to the police, and the detectives traced out the supposed delinquents. At the house of Glew were found a large quantity of false and skeleton keys, crowbars, or " jerninies,U and other implements for forcing locks or doors ; some of the jew ellery was also found concealed in a dog-kennel in the yard. It did not, however, clearly appear that Glew was aware of these articles being on his premises, —one of the other prisoners, with whom he was seen to talk in the street shortly beTore the robbery, being a lodger in his house, and he himself never having been before a magis trate until this occasion. A witness stated that he had with him a black and white dog, (which was produced in court,) but a neighbour, called as a witness, said that he was in the habit of going out with the dog, on Sunday mornings, for two years ; and it appeared he was a foolish amateur in " ratting" and dog-fighting. Mr. Rushton, on hearing all the evidence, said he should commit Chris topher, Smith, and Thornton, for trial ; but should not send them to prison that day. He stated that he would accept of good bail, upon notice, for Glew. It was then stated, by one of the detectives, that it was supposed th a t Glew had been connected with another robbery in Tran mere. That locality being out of Mr. Rushton's juris diction, he told the officers that they might take him into custody on the charge, if they thought fit. THE BANK NOTE AND CASH ROBBERY OF £258. The prisoners who were - brought up yesterday week (as we briefly stated on Tuesday last), were again placed at the bar yesterday. They were Rody Maher, an elderly man; his son, and the wife of the latter; together with their servant, a girl named Sharpe. It will be remem bered that Mr. Hunt, sailmaker, in Hanover-street. missed from his counting-house the sum stated, on the Bth ult., including two £lOO Bank of England notes, a £lO note, and an amount of silver. The female Maher was seen at the time at Mr. Hunt's. The whole of the prisoners went to the Isle of Man, and there one of the £lOO notes was changed, and rather than be searched by one of our de tectives, Mrs. Maher gave him up the other note of the same amount. She had put her name on the note which she had changed at Douglas, as "E. Yates." The notes were identified by a clerk of the Union Bank here, through whose hands they had passed before being paid to Mr. Hunt. The evidence as related to the old man and the servant girl did not show that they had any cognizance of the robbery. and indeed it appeared that each had hitherto borne a good character. They were accordingly discharged. The other prisoners were committed for trial. It trans pired that the female, a delicate-looking little person, was suspected to be implicated in a robbery of a£lo and a £5 note, and £95 in other monies, from the Liverpool .Albion office on the 18th of September, 1848. This case was not, however, entered into, as the witnesses were not got to gether, and a remand regarding it was the result. ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON.—An old stupid Irish man, named Robert Cain, charged Ann 11I`Giverly with robbing him of £49 in cash—namely, a £2O note, a £lO note, and 19 sovereigns. The complainant had gone into a house of a certain description, in Harley-street, in com pany with a boy to whose pocket he had entrusted his money for safety, and who was, as a matter of course, soon cleaned out. None of the money was found, but the circumstances were so suspicious against the prisoner that she was committed for trial. The prosecutor said he had come from Ireland with some cattle. His appearance and dress did not indicate that he was worth half-a-crown. SPRIGS OF SHILELLAGH.—At the police-court, yester day, two genuine specimens of the genus horno from the Emerald Isle were brought up and charged with the national failing of indulging in "a bit of a row." On being asked by Mr. Rushton the usual question, " What have you to say to this charge ?" one of the belligerents— a short, thick-set, bullet-headed fellow, with the broadest possible Milesian grin upon his countenance—answered and s iid, " Och sure, this man (his companion in limbo) os goin' to strike me wid his stick, which same not bein' agreeable to myself I tuk the stick from him, and so we went at it in rale earnest, and fair play." His companion here exclaimed—" Och Mickey what a lie you tell. I nivor struck you wid the stick. I'd scorn a mane action; that I would." " You indeed," retorted his neighbour, " you're as mane a man as ever I knew." Mr. Rushton : " You will both be better of two days' imprisonment." The parties were then removed. BREAKING INTO A SHOP AND STEALING.—WiIIiam Harrison, John Smith, Thos. Welsh, and John M`Guire, all young men, were charged with having, at an early hour on Thursday morning, broken into the shop of a man in Lightbody.strect, and stealing two pairs of boots, a coat, and other articles. One of the prisoners had also stolen a pair of boots from another house. The evidence did not affect M`Guire, and he was discharged. The other three were committed. BEGGING.—A number of beggars (all Irish) were hauled up for pursuing their vocations. One sturdy fellow had upon his person lls. 6d. Mr. Rushton sent him to gaol for a month, and ordered that his money should he appro priated to his maintenance while in durance. On a man and his wife (with a child) Gs. 2d. were found. The man was sent to gaol for twenty-one days—the money to be similarly appropriated. The woman and child were ordered to be provided for in the workhouse. An Irish woman, charged with the same offence, on being asked if she would go home, agreed to be passed, remarking— quite out of the common run in such matters—that she would cheerfully do so, and that she regretted much that she had ever come to Liverpool. Post-office orders may now be granted and paid at the Old Swan. . . CROWN BUILDING SOCIETY.- - A building society was formed in this town last night, under very favourable auspices, and with influential patronage. INQUEST.—An inquest was held at Birkenhead, yester day, on the body of Mary Jane Vaughan, daughter of a milkman, living in Sandford-street, Birkenhead. 'lle child, it was proved, died of diarrhoea. THE NEW CLIPPER STEAMER, VICTORY. - At ten minutes to twelve o'clock, yesterday, this fine new screw steamer sailed on her first passage. She left the quay in gallant style, and from the rapidity with which she passed down the channel, she bids fair to be one of the fleetest crafts afloat. THE LATE T. D. LEWIS, ESQ.—With reference to a paragraph which appeared in the Mercury and other Liverpool papers of last week, we are enabled to state, on authentic information, that the statements with respect to the late lamented gentleman, and the disposition of his property are incorrect. His will is entirely to the satisfaction of Miss Lewis, his only surviving sister, who is, we believe, largely benefited. Mr. Lewis alsa made a munificent gift in his life-time to his old and constant companion and friend T. S. Tarleton, Esq, THE WEATHER, since our last week's notice has been somewhat broken, with the wind chiefly from the east, or south south east, accompanied b) occasional heavy rains, especially in the night. The grain crops are all safely under cover, and are almost all good in these districts. A slight smut has appeared amongst the Swedish turnips here and there; but generally speaking the crops of both these and mange's are heavy and promising. One field of eight acres, on the east side of Wallasey Church, is a favourable sample. The grasses are abundant. We re gret to learn that the potatoes are affected by the rot, after being gathered in apparent good condition ; but there are some of excellent quality brought to market. and we yet hope that there will be a larger keeping crop than last year. The root, too, is of larger size. We have seen one from 'Wirral' weighing 21- lb. THE REPRESENTATION OF RODNEY-STREET WARD. — The Times of Thursday, finding itself, we naturally as sume, the supporter of a losing cause, indulges in a strain of vituperation scarcely worthy, we submit, of the exclu sive and ultra-refined class it professes to patronise or be patronised by, whichever the case may be. Its personali- • ties being, of course, unworthy of attention, we shall simply confine ourselves to its misrepresentations. In stead of Mr. Jones being the confederation candidate, he expressly and unequivocally declined on principle to be nominated as their candidate, and had it not been for a requisition (which we have seen) to which are appended the names of all parties and classes, tories and radicals, with the ambiguous modifications of both, merchants, professional men and tradesmen, he would have persevered in his express determination not to allow himself to be put in nomination. That he will receive the support of the confederation is not to be wondered at, for they could not (had the selection rested with them) have found a man better qualified to become the representative of the interests of all parties. An opposer of the Pike scheme from conviction, the result of research and experience, he will be recollected, and from his address recognised, as the gentleman who: replied to Mr. Samuel Hohne, in the Liverpool Courier, some time back. lie is, as he honestly and manfully avows himself, a " tory," and will on that ground possess an undoubted claim to the support of numbers who would not have opposed Mr. Hohne had a candidate of opposite principles, and the nominee of the confederation, been brought out. He is also a strong advocate of dock-rating, and on other subjects takes what is at present the popular cause. —Mail. A RUNAWAY BRIDLOROOM.—Rather an extraordinary scene took place on 'Wednesday, in Hove Church. In the course of the morning, three carriages drew up in front of the gate, from which alighted a bridal party—the bride groom, a gallant son of Mars ; the bride, a young lady of interesting appearance, and :ler mother, and some female friends. The Rev. Mr. Kelly was in the vestry, in readiness to perform the ceremony ; and one or two strangers came in to witness it. One of these was a foreigner, and his presence seemed to have an ir ritating effect upon the gallant briddgroom, for, upon seeing him, he very unceremoniously came up to him, and asked what business he had there, and, without waiting for a reply, took the party by the scuff of the neck, and kicked him out of the holy edifice ! He then proceeded to eject the other stranger, and having thus cleared the ground, he approached the bride, and de manded of her if she loved him ? The young lady replied that she did. The gentleman recalled to her recollection that, some weeks before, she had said her mother forced her into the match, and, after upbraiding her in violent terms, lie rushed out of the church, leaped the wall of the churchyard, and, taking no notice 'of the three carriages in waiting to carry away the contemplated " happy couple," ran home at full speed, leaving the bride and her friends to ride home as they came.—Brighton Herald.
