TO CORRESPONDENTS, There are two objections to the suggestion S B.—the extra esnense and the fact of the building to which he alludes not being at present obtainable.. Will t wait until next week. We will bear in mind the hint of "A Fr'end to the Charities." We believe the specific mentioned by C.M.D. is not in as good repute as it was, as we have heard little about it lately. We are compelled, in consequence of the State Trials, to post pone several Communications. rr)t i'lJerpoot k/ntanarb. TUESDAY MORNING, JAN. 23, 1344 We are of more importance in the world than we imagined, until enlightened upon the subject by Mr. William Rathbone. That profound philosopher assures the world that the Courier and ourselves stand in the way of the conversion of the entire population of Liverpool to the cause of free trade; that, in short, the corn laws would be repealed forthwith were it not that the people of Liverpool, "instead of listening to the Anti-monopoly Associa tion, listen to such farthing rushlights as the Liver pool Standard and the Liverpool Courier !" Very shocking that the people of Liverpool should manifest such miserable discretion ; that they should prefer our advice to the ravings of William Rath bone and the motley assortment of elderly ladies and schoolboys who compose the Anti-monopoly Association ! Still, the fact cannot be got over that they do so award us their preference and confidence. We are drags upon the wheels of revolution. We are manacles upon the hands which seek to over . throw the constitution, and to commence the work of national robbery. We keep the drab men .of Philadelphia and elsewhere from poking their fingers into the pockets of the British people ; and the question, we presume—from William Rathbone's kind mention of us—is to be forthwith mooted: by what means is a press thus effectually inimical to the League faction to be muzzled or put down ? Are we to be favoured with an application to us of the same weapon with which "honest" John Brooks and his fellow-Leaguers are at this moment endeavouring to gag our contemporary, the Man chester Courier ? Is the six thousand pounds sub scribed in Liverpool a few weeks ago, for the alleged purposes of agitation, to be employed in League prosecutions against the local Conservative press ? Or are we only to be pushed out of the way by com peting Radical journals, propped up by the funds thus raised ? We know not,—we care not to know. We shall continue fearlessly to do our duty, whe ther attacked by any of these weapons, or only visited occasionally with an emission against us of the spiteful silliness of William Rath bone. Poor old man ! Disappointed ambition and wounded vanity have well nigh overthrown his small modi cum of reason and common sense; b ut we should imagine that he has still a sufficient glimmering left to tell him that he cannot but have the worst, in anylattempt he may make to bully journals, whose influence has already reduced him from the promi nent position, which he once occupied in public life, to one of comparative obscurity and neglect. By his lips, however, the Anti-monopoly Associa tion have pointed to the course to be taken ; and it is for the Conservative public to support us against their machinations for our injury, in whatever shape they may be made. Whilst upon this subject, may we ask so very great a luminary as Mr. William Rathbone to come down from the stilts, upon which he has erected himself, and give us, if the remnant of Quakerism is not too strong within him, a plain answer to a very plain question. At the same meeting, at which the absurdities above alluded to were uttered, we find Mr. Rathbone telling his hearers the following story :-- " The other day, he had to go to Toxteth-park, in his capacity of a magistrate, to hear appeals against taxes ; and a more painful duty be had never had to perform in his life. About 130 cases came before him. He could not, as a magistrate, refer to politics on the occasion ; there were ship -carpenters, rope-makers, sail makers, lath-cleavers, brick-lay c,rs, and a whole host of other workmen, who said, " You know, Mr. Rathbone, we are very much distressed." He replied—" I know it, and sorry I am to be obliged to wring the taxes out of you ;" but he could not, as a magistrate, tell them— " and, my friends, it is your own fault that you are so." (Hear and cheers.) He could not " the other day in his capacity as a Magistrate," inform the distressed ship -carpenters of Toxteth-park that "it was their own fault that they are so distressed ;" but how is it, may we ask, that Mr. Rathbone's Magisterial prudence carries him so short a distance from the Magisterial Bench ? How is it that he can utter to the same men—to the world—the same inflammatory language, as a man, which he shrunk, the day before, from uttering as a Magistrate? If the utterance of such lan guage in one place was improper, it must be of very questionable propriety in another. The Mercury has not of late so grossly offended the Protestant portion of our readers with papistical and anti-Saxon advocacy, as has been his wont in past times. We have not had repeal of the Union, spoliation of the Protestant landlords, and other popish remedies for the disturbed social condition of Ireland, so insolently obtruded upon our notice. The proceedings of the past week, however, in the matter of the prosecutions against O'Connell and his confederates, and the issue to which those pro ceedings are evidently tending, have upset all the prudence of our contemporary; and in his last pub lication we have him accordingly throwing dirt about him in all directions—bespattering judges, lawyers, ministers, and juries, alike, with infamous aspersions and raving abuse—in short, throwing off the cloak of affected moderation, and shining out in his true colours, as a thick and thin papist advocate, and an enemy of the integrity of the British empire. We shall not attempt to enter into any serious argument, with a writer who is evidently in too great a passion to know very well what he is talking about—who tells us, for instance, of the government " drawing the sword against civil and religious liberty, and throwing a% ay the scabbard ;" but there are a few points upon which it is possible that we may enlighten our contemporary, and, hopeless though we are of any good result, we will make the attempt. The Mercury asserts—or rather, he echoes the assertion of Dan. O'Connell—that " the jury list was fraudulently made out, with a view to exclude all persons of liberal politics, and of the Catholic re ligion"—that it was, in fact, a "packed" list, and should be set aside. And then he breaks out into the following passage of sublime absurdity:— " The whole spirit of the thing is too glaring. Who has weeded the list ? Why was it sent to England ? Why were such pains taken to exclude from it all Catho lics and Liberals ? The Irish nation will answer- 4 To - make sure of a conviction.' There may have been no such purpose; but whether there was or not, this was not the fair mode of trying a man by his country. Far better would it have been if the government had tried O'Connell in Lanca.hire or Middl esex : t h en, i ndeed, he would have found jurors unfriendly, p er h aps, b ut still devoid of rei , onal motives, and not subject to the insolent and gro;:mfle , s charge of being regardless of th e sanct i ty of an oath. Now it is proved that, in the ocuntr,n of the government at least, a jury cannot he taken from the miscellaneous body of his countrymen who will conv i c t him, and the inference is, that they believe his cause to be that of the nation." As the only reply which we can give to this bab bling, we shall detail as briefly as we can the provi sions of the Whig act of 1833, in strict accordance with which this very " packed" list has been made out. In the first place, the: parish officers in each the Corporate funds. As Mr. Platt has been deprived of his seat by a decision of the Town-clerk, which de cision the high es t l ega l authority in the land has year frame lists of Persons qualified to serve, those de- Glared erroneous, it is plainly the duty of the Council t T o h u e ne o r , ? n k - e c k e , satisfactory arrangem ent e or ascertainediile as that -the city of Dublin by th e recor d er.

The alleged " pains taken to exclude from it all Catholics and Liberals" is an unauthorised invention of the Mercury himself. The list was sent to England, for the signature of the Recorder, who happened to be in that country. So much then for this piece of flippant ignorance. But we are further reminded, as a " matter of deep suspicion," of the omission of some names, which ought to have been upon the full panel from which the 48 names constituting the jury were drawn; and it is more than insinuated that the omission in ques tion was made designedly, although the fact is on record that, of these names, only fifteen were those of Roman Catholics. But how did this omission take place ? We give the reply in the words of the Lon don Times, to whose columns we have already been indebted for some of the facts above. "The Recorder prepared the classified list with his own hand. With his own hand he delivered it to Mr. M'Grath, the deputy clerk of the peace. Mr. M'Grath is a Roman Catholic. He is an official of more than ten years' standing, and his politics are therefore unknown. The names of persons worth £5,000 were given on slips, a separate slip for each parish. Mr. M'Grath says he dropped the slip that contained the names in St. Andrew's parish-16 in number. He has found it since he made out the jurors' book. The cause of omission of the 59 names cannot be traced. In the name of common sense, should the administration of justice be obstructed for twelve months because a clerk lets a slip of paper fall . out of his hand ? At all events, neither Mr. O'Connell nor any other traverser ventures to swear that he was not cognizant of the mistake or fraud by which the names were omitted." So then, after all the furious outcry against the " person unknown," by whom these names were suppressed, and which person unknown was of course to be a Tory, and a Protestant, it is quite possible that the real delinquent may have been this Mr. Magrath, a Roman Catholic, and a legacy left us by a preceding Whig administration. The loss of the slip containing St. Andrew's parish, with six teen names, is acknowledged by the gentleman in question, and why may not the fifty-nine names have been lost by the carelessness of the same individual —of course without any wrongful motives ? But, according to the Mercury, we must view the whole of the proceedings against O'Connell and his confederates as an attack upon civil and religious liberty ; and our contemporary asks, " Wherefore let the vision of an elderly gentleman living at Rome, and a few poor divines studying at an Irish college, frighten the land from its propriety ?" Indeed The repeal agitation is, indeed, a Romish movement—is it ? We are glad of a confession of the fact. for - such we have ever viewed this very agitation ! We have been appealed to, by several corres pondents, upon the subject of the probable course which will be pursued by the Watch Committee in their election of a person to succeed to the situation of the late high-constable, Mr. Whitty. We have no positive information as to what will be that course. We can have, and ought to have, none. Our own impression, and the general impression, is, that the best man will be selected, whoever he may be, and that, however highly recommended, to no man will undue favour he shown. We do hear it whispered, indeed, that, in some quarters, a disposition has been evinced togive prefer ence to a military man over one who has been accus- to other pursuits, and that such a man, influentially recommended, is in the field. We doubt, however, that such a preference is generally entertained, and greatly doubt the advantage to be derived by such a nomination. A military, or quasi-military govern ment, of a purely local force is not one most adapted to win favour in the eyes of the English people, if it is not even adapted to provoke hostility to such a force rather than a kindly feeling towards it on the part of the public. The military government of the Manchester force is an instance of this ; and the remembrance of the events of August, 1842, does not convince us that such a force is the most effective. And with respect to the rank, education, &c., of a Head-constable, we are not assured that it is necessary that these should be of the very highest order. A firm resolution to do his duty, and to do no more, may be found where these assumed requi sites are not ; and it is, we should imagine —a n d we say it without any wish to appear dictatorial— _ not necessary to go beyond the bqundaries of our own borough to find these qualities. The Watch Commtttee, however, we repeat our conviction, will do its duty fairly and impartially upon this as upon other occasions. We have forborne hitherto, from motives which may readily be divined, referring to a topic suggested to is, as eminently worthy of consideration, by the fate of the five unhappy men recently under sentence of death at Kirkdale, and one of whom on Satur day last expiated his offence upon the scaffold. We allude, of course, to the crime of poaching and the means to be taken for its suppression. Even now, we do not purpose entering at any length into the subject. A time at which the mind of the public is excited is not that at which a matter involving such weighty considerations caii - lie - best approached and satisfactorily discussed. There is one point, however, which we have seen mooted, in relation to the present state of the law,, as effects this crime, against which we enter our protest. It is said—and there is some truth in the argument—that poaching, under the present law, which permits the open sale of game, will continue to be resorted to by our agricultural population, so long as that population is sunk in its present ex tremely depressed condition. Our firm impression is that, practically, such depressed condition of the labourer has not nearly so much to do with the matter as is supposed. It is seldom that mere ne cessity is the incentive to this crime. In nine cases out of ten, poaching is a propensity, indulged, in the first instance, far the gratification which it affords, and afterwards pursued for its lucrativeness, and because its indulgence has rendered the party almost an outcast from society. They are not agri cultural labourers, who chiefly stock our markets with game, but men sprung from a grade of society much higher—degraded men perhaps, for poaching leads to degradation as its sure results, yet men whom poverty most assuredly has not led to its com mission. Excessive mode sty is not ordinarily the attribute of a whig-radical journalist. Our contemporary, the Albion, has this week, however, gone clear ahead of all our previous notions of such a character; and exhibited an amount of sheer impudence, beauti fully combined with ignorance, such as we must confess we never yet met with. Our readers, of course, remember the circumstances, under which, as the result of a scrutiny before the assessors, Mr. Glazebrook, the present conservative member for South Toxteth Ward, was declared, after the opinion in his favour of the Town-clerk upon the law of the case, to have been elected by a majority of the bona fide constituency. With this decision Mr. Platt, the unseated radical, does not appear to have been par ticularly well satisfied. A case was, therefore, drawn up, "as fairly as possible," we are informed, and stating the politics of the respective candidates, (!) for the opinion of the Attorney-General—(who ought, by the bye, to be highly flattered by the notion of his whig-radical clients, that he had one opinion for his friends, and another for his opponents in poli tics); and the result "chews that the Town-clerk, able lawyer as he is, was, in this instance, wrong for Sir Frederick Pollock has delivered an opinion in every respect favourable to the claim of Mr. Platt." There is certainly nothing very singular in this. The Attorney-General, consulted by Mr. Platt, and supplied with Mr. Platt's version of the facts of the case, has given an opinion that Mr. Platt should have been elected to the representation of South Toxteth Ward. Of course the Attorney-General, an eminent lawyer, is perfectly correct in his judg ment upon the case as thus placed before him. But the Albion goes much too far when he states that, " under these circumstances, the straightforward course for the tories to pursue would be, at once, to resign the usurped seat, and declare in Mr. Platt's favour " ! The opinion of the Attorney-General, upon an exparte case (and such we must consider it to be until it is given to the world along with the opinion) is not to outweigh the opinion of the Town clerk, an acknowledged good lawyer, who had both sides of the case before him ! Why, upon this prin ciple we might ourselves claim the proprietorship of the Albion ; get the opinion of the Attorney-Gene ral upon a one sided case, and tell our contemporary that " the straightforward course' for him to pursue" would be to remove his inkstand, scissors, and dic tionary of Latin quotations, and evaporate forthwith I We should assuredly be laughed at nevertheless for our modest assurance ! We must go deeper, therefore, for the causes of the increase of this crime than to the depressed condition of the labourer. But, as we have already remarked, we must leave the subject for future dis cussion. W. B.FERRAN n, ESQ.—This gentleman passed through Liverpool on Saturday, on his way to Dublin, where be attended a meeting last night (Monday) for the purpose of assisting the fund now raising for the liberation of the honest but injured Richard Oastler. God speed him on his mission. CHANGE OF THE MARKET-DAY.--We hear from a source on which we can rely, that measures are being taken to procure the Saturday's market to be held on Friday, in lieu of that day, whereby the late Saturday night's labour and the partial desecration of the Lord's Day will be altogether obviated. MR. OASTLER AND THE MERCURY.—Our veracious contemporary reminds us marvellously this week of a beaten cur. In his first attacks against the character of Mr. Oastler, how magnificent was his swagger! He could prove this; he insinuated that ; and, with a know ing shake of his long ears, he intimated that if we would write to somebody or other, we should learn something else very astonishing and shocking. And now —most lame and impotent conclusion !—the Mercury is all aground—all abroad !He has written for some informa tion, and waits for a reply, until receipt of which he can say no more. Meanwhile, all he can do is to indulge in a flourish, addressed to the chairman of Mr. Oastler's Central Committee! We can tell the Mercury a fact, however, in relation to the subject of his slanders, which he prudently suppresses. Both the Mercury and our selves were waited upon last week, by another member of Mr. Oastler's committee—Mr. Auty; and that gen tleman communicated to both the fact, that, after the ap pearance of the first of the Mercury's slanders, and after our having written to them in accordance with his own suggestion, a deputation from the Central Committee had waited upon Messrs. Rawson and Co., and had been as sured by these gentlemen that they had no complaint against Mr. Oastler; that they believed him to be a strictly honest man ; and that nothing but the fact of no direct charge against him having, at that time, been even suggested, together with their aversion to being drawn into a newspaper controversy, had prevented their giving their strongest denial to the existence of any complaint, emanating from or connected with them, against Mr. Oastler. Mr. Auty's call at the Mercury-office—his strong remonstrance with the editors—his challenge to them to give up the name of their informant —his offer, on the part of the Central Committee, to take upon themselves the duty of sifting the truth of any state ment he might have made—the suppression of all these facts we leave our readers to form their own judgment upon. Aaother fact, too, we may mention, as having been communicated to us by Mr. Auty, and which we dare say is known to the Illercury. Not eighteen months ago —at last Doncaster races but one—Mr. Auty saw Mr. Thornhill himself who expressed hi perfect satisfaction with Mr. Oastler's books, which had been audited by competent accountants on both sides, who, although these hooks extended over a period of thirty years, had expressed themselves to the effect that they were highly creditable to Mr. Oastler. Mr. Thornhill added that he should be rej Aced to see that gentleman at liberty, but that h e wanted his money. At this period, it can scarcely be supposed hut that, if there had been any thing discreditable in Mr. Oastler's conduct, Mr. Thorn hill must have been acquainted With it. The Albion, however, gives " the tories" credit for a little less of "magnanimity" —he had better have said " common sense"—than would be shewn by their pursuing such a course. He is of opinion, how ver—clever b e ing !—that " it will b e p roper f or the Town -council to not only pay the expense of the (ex parte) application to the Attorney-General, but to pursue the matter immediately to a legal issue" —at their own expense of course. (!!) Strange notions of the law and the fitness of things a man must have who can broach such an absurdity as that any public body should pay the expenses of a rejected candidate, who contravenes the decision of its own legal officer as to his election or non-election, (!) merely because that rejected candidate, upon a case which he has not chosen to submit to the light of day, has received an opinion in his favour. The Albion proceeds :--. " It will be recollected that, when a dispute arose respecting the l ega li ty of Mr. Harvey's election as al derman, the deci s i on was obtained under the direction of the Council, and the expenses were defrayed out of THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD ANOTHER ANTI-MONOPOLY ATTACK UP- O N THE CONSERVATIVE OPERATIVES OF TOXTETH-PARK. On Friday evening last, the clique of busybodies, who style themselves the Anti-monopoly Association of Liver pool, for no other reason that we can imagine except that they dare not in this town appear in their true colours, as bond slaves of " the League," called another meeting of " the electors of South Toxteth Ward," at which Mr. Murray, of Manc;i , ster, was again their lead ing spouter. Mr. James Harvey, jun., was in the chair, and amongst the influential (!) gentlemen present we noticed Mr. Charles Holland, Mr. S. Boult, and a few others. If gentlemen were scarce, however, there was a plentiful gathering of policemen—as, indeed, there has been at all these meetings ; for what purpose, however, or by whose authority we know not. If the people of Liverpool, however, are to pay policemen for the purpose of running here and there to preserve from possible in jury the weak heads of all the noodles who fancy that they can spout supreme wisdom, they had better be told so at once, as it would be infinitely more conducive to the public safety that a portion of the force—say thirty or forty men —should be set apart for this special purpose (who might, for distinction's sake, be called " The Leaguer's B o dy G uar d ") rather than that whole dis tricts of the town should be left for hours together unpro tected whenever these gentlemen choose to indulge in their vagaries. We recommend this subject to the con sideration of the Watch Committee. It is one quite worthy of their notice. The proceedings were opened by Mr. MURRAY, whose discourse was merely a repetition of those already de livered by him—his leading arguments being, that before the corn laws were in operation pauperism was rare, convictions few; and that under the corn laws pauper ism and convictions materially increased ; ergo, the corn laws must be the cause. In addition, he argued that Adam was a repealer; and we dare say that he could hive proved with equal ease that the old serpent was a monopolist l He was followed by CHAS. HOLLAND, who advocated cheap food and removal of all protective duties, with his usual elegance of diction and manners, but without stat ing how the necessary revenue was to be raised, or bring ing forward one single argument to prove his voluble assertions. He concluded with moving a resolution con demnatory of all protective duties. Mr. J. LONGWORTH, an operative shipwright, then got up, and said he had an amendment to propose, hut before he did so he wished to make a few remarks. He was glad to see Mr. Boult and Mr. Holland on the plat form, as he wished to bring to their recollection a meet ing which took place at the Shipwrights'-rooms, some time since, when he put a question to the Leaguers which they refused to answer. It was with reference to the glove trade of this country. The two gentlemen now present wished French gloves to be imported free of duty, stating the hardship of those wearing gloves having to pay 3s. 6d. for what they could get from France for 6d.; and the question he put was, what they would do with the English glove makers under those circumstances, and in what way they would employ them when their trade was ruined. This question they did not answer ; and further, when it was known that he was opposed to their fallacies he was immediately put down, and not allowed to speak. He then put the question to them through the Standard newspaper; and what was their answer ? did they behave like gentlemen to a poor man ? No ; but they stated, through a Radical print, that he should have no answer—that he was a paid servant of the church. He had no doubt they were ashamed of such conduct ; at all events, they looked as though they were. This, then, is the way with the League. Their profession and practice are totally opposite. That meet ing was stated to be a meeting of the shipwrights ; but he would prove that not more than five shipwrights were present. The speaker then entered into the question, and proved to the satisfaction of the meeting that the Leaguers were not to be trusted ; that their views were selfish and political ; and that their desire was to reduce the wages of the operatives, and to put the saving in their own pockets. He then called upon those gentlemen to answer his question, what they would do with the glove makers when their trade was gone ; and concluded with proposing an amendment condemning the principles and views of the League. Mr. BOULT then rose, and after floundering about evidently at a non plus, stated, that the English glove makers were clumsy workmen, and must learn to work better, or turn to something else. (!) They had no right to look for protection from the residue of the country. (Dissatisfaction.) He said he had been at Barnstable lately, where the shipwrights only got 2s. 2d. a-day. (Great uproar.) Mr. HOLLAND then said that it was clear to him that they would be defeated at that meeting ; indeed he knew that public opinion in these wards was strongly against them ; but he trusted that some seed had been sown that evening which would bring forth fruit on some future occasion. The amendment to the original motion was then put, when the amendment was carried by a large majority, and the meeting quietly separated. [We are quite of the opinion expressed above by Mr. Charles Holland, that "some seed has been sown, by himself and his friend Mr. B ou lt, which will bring f or th fruit." They have, on Lilt - x-nvv..otssm, _pretty plainly the extent of their professed regard for the working population of Great Britain. The English glovers, said Mr. Boult, are "clumsy workmen ;" ergo, they must be overwhelmed by the admission of French goods. They must direct their industry into new chan nels! Exceedingly liberal, and vastly humane ! Yes, Mr. Holland, seed like this will bear fruit. It will show the poor men, whom you and your fellows strive to dupe, with what little compassion you would wreck their in dustry and plunge their families into a workhouse (for that is the practical interpretation of your theory, that their industry can be directed at pleasure into new chan nels)—you would ruin these poor workers whenever you discovered that you could buy a pair of gloves, a pair of shoes, a hat, or any other commodity a sous cheaper from the French, or the German, than from your own countrymen—the " clumsy workmen" of Great Britain ! We will water your seed, Mr. Charles Holland, until the plant is high enough for your fellow -townsmen to see it ! —ED. L. S.] WRECKED Goons.--The loss of the Zeno, and other similar catastrophes that have of late occurred, have sup plied sever a l o f our l arge d rapery establishments with abundant stocks of damaged goods. The most extensive we have seen displayed is that of Mr. Jones (whose ad vertisement appears in another column) : it includes al most every article of Manchester manufacture, as well as a quantity of fine linens, most of which are but slightly damaged, and are offered at prices truly astonishing. CORONER'S INQUESTS.—During the past year, as we find from the official return, the coroner for this borough has held no less than four hundred and thirty-four in quests. The following are the results :-26 found drowned, 30 burnt, 112 accidentally killed, 1 wrong treatment at birth, 116 visitation of God, 10 injured, no evidence how, 16 suicide, 13 still born, 19 found dead, 17 accidentally scalded, 18 drowned, 10 overlaid, 11 burnt accidentally, 4 manslaughter, 10 apoplexy, 2 wilful murder, 1 died from want of food, 1 felo de se. FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM.—On Sunday, the church of St John the Evangalist, Hope-street, was re-opened, after having undergone various improvements rod embel lishments internally. Ihe pulpit, reading-desk, and com munion-table have been removed from the eastern to the western end ; and the pews have been covered with blue merino, which has a pleasing effect. The sermon in the morning was preached by the Rev. Jonathan Brooks, senior rector, and that in the evening by the Rev. T. Macgill, curate of Liverpool; and appeals were made after both in aid of the Female Orphan Asylum. We noticed the Mayor, Councillor Ai kin, and several members of the Council among the congregation in the forenoon. The collection in the morning amounted to £26 Gs 6d., and in the evening to £27 3s 6d. THEATRE ROYAL, WILLIAMSON-SQUARE.—During the last week we have been favoured with the appearance of Madame Celeste in the " World of Dreams," which has continued to attract excellent houses. The second piece has been " Black-eyed Susan," in which Mr. T. P. Cooke has sustained his part of William. The song of "Black-eyed Susan" was ve r y prett il y sung by the younger Miss Coveney. On Friday the performances were the " World of Dreams," and "My Poll and Partnerioe," fur:Abe bell& of P Blackstone and Mrs:Fitzwdbam re-appear this week, in the niece entitled " The Little Devil," played for so long a period at the Haymarket. They are to be succeeded next - week by Mr. Vandenhofr, who will appear in the " Love Chase." COMMITMENTS.—Yesterday, a well-dressed and good looking girl named Sarah M`Kenzie, was charged befor e Mr. Rushton with stealing a shawl from a shop in Bane - lagh-street. Mrs. Hinton, who keeps the shop (a butcher's) said that on Saturday the prisoner came in and inquired for a person who lived next door. Witness had occasion to go out for a few moments at the time and _eft her bon net and shawl on a block. On her return she missed the sh awl and gave information to a police-officer, who suc co eded in overtaking the prisoner. On his coming up to her she dropped the article from under her own dress, and he secured her. She was sent for trial.—A boy named Wm. Hughes was also committed for, in conjunction with two others who ran off, stealing 121 b. of cheese from the shop of Mr. Joseph Macnamara, provision dealer, Scot land-road, on Saturday afternoon.

Wavlett, in plot th got to up, fine page in the suite of the young Prince of China, who is on a visit to the Court of Great Britain. Mr. Raymond, as O'Gallaylier, an Irish interpreter, was very livpt,- ,nd droll, imparting to the character his peculiar 7 v71 7 :i of humour, mingled with a quietness and sobriety of colour ing which belong to the personations of few delineators of Irish character. "Borrowing a Husband," introduced to the audience Mrs. Raymond, as Pamela, which she sustained most effectively, drawing down repeated bursts of applause. Mr. Bedford's acting in this piece was also excellent. This young actor continues to draw upon the favour of the audience, and to develope new powers. With care and attention he has still higher ground before him. Mr. Phelps, we observe, returns this week, and will again go through his round of tragic characters. DINNER OF THE LIVERPOOL CHESS CLUB On Friday evening the members and friends of the Li verpool Chess Club held their annual festive meeting at the Adfdphi lintel, %Ili re, to the number of about sixty, they sat down to a sumptuous dinner, in the large banquetting room. Mr. A. Mongredien ably occupied the chair, and Mr. Schwabe the vice•chair. Amongst those who supported them were, Mr. G. Perigal, se .re tary of the London Chess Club, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Wm. Lockerby, sen., Mr. J. Smith, Mr. Baines. of the Liver pool Times, Mr. Swale, Dr. Carson, Mr. Potter, and other chess players of the town, and strangers. The viands were of the choicest kind, and admirably prepared, the dessert and fruits varied and excellent, and the wines of the finest flavour. At the conclusion of the repast, the CHAIRMAN gave " The Queen," which was drunk with enthusiastic ap plause. In proposing the next toast, he expressed his delight at the continued prosperity and increase of the society. He alluded to the interest excited by the late contest in chess at Paris, between the French and English players, and its triumphant result to the latter. They still, however, numbered only sixty members, and he would not be satisfied until that number was more than doubled. There were good players amongst their towns men who did not belong to their club, and they would do well to test their powers by joining it. Some persons said that the study of chess was a waste of time, which would be better devoted to mathematics; but the chances wer e , that those who kept aloof from them would do neither. Then there were " modest players," who shrunk from joining them, as they were but young in the art ; but they would be glad to receive the most infantine essayists in the game, had players of all gra d es to practice with thaemme: asthey After relating an amusi ng anec d ote of his own early attempts, and his astonishm en t at fi n di ng players so superior to those whom he had deemed the best, he re marked that the greater the player the greater number of moves he could analyze, and complimented the great Mr. M•Donnell, who had analyzed eight moves, the greatest yet known to have been accomplished. He concluded by proposing " Prosperity and permanence to the Liverpool Chess Club," which was drunk with great applause. Mr. SPENCE being called upon for the next toast, in a very feeling and eloquent address, proposed the immortal memory of the two great departed players of two rival nations, " M. Labourdcinnais and Mr. M'Donnell," the second great player who had brought chess to rank as a science. He eulogised the noble game of chess, which was calculated to beguile the cares that would otherwise beset us, and thus to add to the sum of human happiness. He facetiously adverted to the recent mimic warfare be tween the two countries, in which castles were overthrown, knights knocked down, and even queens placed in equi vocal positions; and apprehended they must prepare for a terrible invasion by the French players. The toast was drunk in solemn silence. The VICE-CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, Said it was the health of one to whom they were indebted for the honours the society had achieved ; whose hospi table domicile was open to every chess-player who came to the town, and who ever found in him a ready and ge nerous competitor in the noble game ; and whose varied acquirements in other departments had also commanded for him the respect and esteem of all who knew him : Mr. Mongredien, the president. The toast was drunk with loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, said he was well repaid if his services had been of any advantage to the club. He had been connected with it ever since he came to the town, and would, he hoped, so continue while he remained amongst them. He begged to propose the health of Mr. Staunton (whose excellent work on chess should be in the hands of every player). This was heartily drunk, and was followed by the song by the Chairman of " The brave old Oak." Mr. SWALE (we believe) adverted to the indefatigable exertions of their honorary secretary, whose regularity of attendance at their weekly meetings, and his devotion to the interests of the club entitled him to their warmest gratitude. He proposed the health of that gentleman— Mr. Spreckley. The toast was drank with much applause. Mr. Porter sung, with much spirit, " A Life in the Woods for me." Mr. CRUTTENDEN paid a high compliment to the trea surer, Mr. Schwabe, and proposed his health. Mr. SCHWABE, in returning thanks, modestly dis claimed the merit ascribed to him, stating that all was due to the secretary, who did almost every thing himself, and did all for the best. He proposed the health of a most ingenious player, who had honoured them with his com pany that evening, Mr. Perigal, of the London Chess Club, who would ever be found a worthy opponent by any one who played with him. Mr. PERIGAL ably returned thanks. He could assure them that if any of them went to the metropolis they would find a sincere and hearty welcome, not only from the Chess Club there, but from the Polytechnic Society, which was more numerous. He proposed the health o f Mons. St. Amant, in connection with the only French publication on chess—the Palamede. (Cheers.) Mr. WOOD, in proposing the health of the Parisian chess players, remarked on the great kindness and assist ance which they had given to our players when they were in France, and gave " General Guingret" and the " Cercle des Echecs." (Much applause.) Mr. STEWART, after stating that they were greatly in debted to the press, said there was one amongst them who belonged to that engine of instruction and information, who, whether in his public or private capacity was a straight forward, manly English gentleman, whom everybody must esteem. lie proposed the press of Liverpool, coupled with the name of Mr. Baines. (Cheers.) Mr. BAINES ably replied to the toast. Mr. LOCKERBY proposed the health of the new mem bers. The club now numbered about sixty, but, he yet to see them as high as 300. Mr. SWALE recited a comic piece on " Law," from Stephens, which excited much merriment. Tire VICE-CHAIRMAN proposed the health of Mr. John Gregory Jones, to whom the club was much indebted when in its infancy, and whom, after an absence of some years, they were glad to see amongst them again. (Cheers.) Mr. JONES responded. A number of other toasts were drank, which were fol lowed by speeches, and songs; but the occupation of much of our space by the state trials in Ireland, tkc., constrains us to this brief sketch. Suffice it to say, that the evening was passed in an harmonious and delightful manner; and that the party did not retire from the festive board until a late hour, all highly gratified with the proceedings of the evening. COMMITMENTS.—On Wednesday last,:a boy named William Wood was committed for trial by Mr. Rushton, f or st ea ling and absconding with £lO 10s. in gold, and a gold watch chain, from the shop of Mr. Pearson, news agent, Lord-street. He had lived near Orrnskirk, and was apprehended in that quarter. The chain and £6 6s. of the money were recovered.—Same day, John Gibbons, (one of six youths who had been seen going from shop to shop with evil intent) was committed for trial-for stealing, on Tuesday. a piece of black silk handkerchiefs, from the shop of Mr. Barwise, in Byrom. street. The article, worth 225., was traced to his lodgings. THE ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—The effors of the spirited manager of this popular place of amusement were last week again rewarded by the attendance of crowded and respectable audiences,—the American giant, Ilr. C. Freeman, being a great attraction, in addition to stage pieces and the lively and interesting equestrian perform ances. The Greek Renegad e has been highly successful as an afterpiece. Last night, in addition to other perform ances of a novel description, was produced the grand military spectacle entitled " Napoleon Buonaparte, or the Empire, the Republic, and the Hundred days," in which the character of the Emperor was represented by Mons. Tournaire, whose conception and performance of the character stands unrivalled. His strong personal and facial appearance to the great captain of France gives him a facility of vraisemblance to the original which no actor we have yet seen possesses. The performances went off with great edit, and will, we doubt not, have a consider able run. PAUPERS IN DARKNESS—IMPUDENCE OF THE MER CURY.—A few weeks ago, the Mercury, in a note to cor respondents, in reply to a question whether the authori ties had power to prevent paupers in the Workhouse from reading the Liverpool newspapers, stated that " h 3 was unable to say what they cannot do in these days, but,tbat it would be tyrannical to use such power." After this apparently candid avowal of a dislike to such tyranny, a letter was sent to the Mercury by an unfortunate but evi dently intelligent " pauper," stating that an old man in the house had until recently been in the habit for years of regularly taking the Mercury together with the STAN DARD, for the use of himself and others who contributed their mite to the purchase; but that they were now de nied, in their seclusion from the world, the privilege of teeing any paper whatever ; and, after stating that he was informed, that the 26th article of the Instructions of the Poor-Law Commiss'aaers prohibited " papers of an im- tion among" the people, the writer requests the Mercury, " the friend of civil "and religious liberty," and the pro fessed opponent of such tyrannical use of power, to take up the cause of the pauper in this particular. But no ! the Mercury's denunciation of such oppression was all moonshine; and in place of taking up the' poor man's cause, as he was in decency and consistency bound to do, or to eat up his previous profession, be indulges in a piti ful retort upon us, which only conveys an unfeeling insult to his unfortunate correspondent. He merely states, in his last Friday's Paper, that the " Instructions " prohibit only " papers of an improper tendency" ; and adds, with the most consummate assurance, " the prohibition may apply to our contemporary, but certainly not to ours"! In other words, he arrogantly assumes that our paper is of " improper tendency," and that his own is so pure and immaculate that its admission cannot be doubt e d. Had he made inquiry, however, or attentively perused hisaoi quiteohr vsep so foundndhei high well-penned communicatio ns , h e the Commissioners do no t enter opinion of his journal as b e d oes would cdraeoit:s an that w himself, and he has the honour of companionship with us in the same ban of prohibition ! The truth is, the New Poor Law, with all its oppressive and unconstitutional his friends the whig - radical s, in his support of whom he rigours,, was the Lona fide and aboriginal p ro d uct i on o f would cast the rights of the suffering poor to the winds and well m ay the poor man who has handed us the corre spondence in question, exclaim—" This furnishes another proof that the editor of the Mercury contends more f or partyt lian for principles, or for justice," — a re b u k e no t the less unenviable in that it conies from a poor inmate of the Workhouse. With respect to the prohibition in question, we consider it as further evidence of the uncon stitutional principle, too conspicuous in several portions of the Act, which goes to consider poverty as a crime, and not us a misfortune. Even persons confined for mis demeanours are allowed to read newspapers if they can procure them. We can but add, that though we are no friend s to many of the clauses of the Poor Law, we never have inculcated, and never shall inculcate, insubordina tion to that or any other statute of the ;and.

Professor Greenbardt will make his debQ at this institution this evening, wh eri there is reason to believe there will be a full attendance: The press is loud in its praise of the professor's oratorica l powers. According to the Manchester Courier, " thel are of a very superior order, and the practical use whit . he makes of his e l ocu ti onary atta i nments fully proves tl?°. efficiency, the polish, a n d th e re fi nement of the school i n which he has studied. His style of speaking , is highly classical; he is impassioned, but logical ; vehement, b l , t , chaste; parenthetical, but clear; his manner is effective, his gesticulation elegant, and his voice j u di . c ., l ously inflected." A not h er o f our contemporaries says • j " Professor Greenbank possesses a graceful person, so, has a remarkably easy delivery ; his voice is harmonioa; and flexible, bla tOnntenanee very expressive, and, if ' 6 ' believed in phrenology, we Sh ou ld co ns i der his head s decided model.
