The master and crew (eight in number) escaped in the jolly-boat, and were picked up a few hours after by the Dawn, from Alexandria, and brought here. The Three Sisters had on board 800 barrels gunpowder, 400 barrels herrings, from Glasgow, 15 hogsheads tobacco, five bales manufactured, and a quantity of cocoa taken in here. " Her Majesty's steamer Polyphemus went off last night in search of the captured vessel, with the intention of communicating with the English Consul-General at Tan giers on the subject." _ " Gibraltar, 10th November. 1848 "Sin,—The foregoing is a duplicate of my memoran dum sent per Jupiter. The captain of the Polyphemus, Maclererty, fortunately would not take the bad advice of our governor to proceed at first to Tangier and consult with the Consul-General, but started direct for the coast of Barbary in search of the brig, which he found anchored in a little creek near Cape Tres Forcas, with hardly room for the steamer to turn in. The pirate on board the brig jumped overboard on seeing the steamer, and swam on shore, and Captain Macciererty then found that pre parations were made to give him a warm reception. A number of men with long muskets were stationed amongst the brushwood near the beach, and the cliff round the cove was lined with armed men to the number of several hundred, having, besides their muskets, one long gun. The steamer ran at once into the cove and laid the brig on board, when the pirates opened a heavy fire, in the midst of which the prize was brought out, but not until four of the crew, including the second lieutenant, Mr. Wasey, were wounded. Lieutenant Wasey received a ball in his arm, near the elbow, one seaman was shot through the thigh, the other two were slightly wounded. Yesterday the steamer returned with the brig in tow. The pirates had made the most of their time, the sails and running rigging were all gone, the cabin and fore castle gutted, and a considerable part of the cargo, includ ing four boxes of Scotch handkerchiefs, and it is believed the gunpowder, was carried off. A large fire was lighted on the brig's deck when she was boarded, and it is very probable that had time been lost in going to Tangiers first, as recommended, she would have been burnt before the steamer could have reached. Great praise is due to Cap tain Macclererty and those under him for the prompt and gallant manner in which this service was performed. " I am, sir, yours respectfully, "M. H. BLAND. " To Thomas Court, Esq." LOCAL MEETINGS. SELECT VESTRY.—At the meeting on Tuesday Rector Campbell presided. A report was read from Mr. Brown, the Government Inspector of Schools, in which he stated that the children at the Workhouse Schools were pro gressing satisfactorily, and that the industry of the chap lain was very manifest.—A letter from Rector Campbell to Sir George Grey was read, relative to the increasing immigration of into the parish—the number who arrived on Sunday week having been 1087. The letter alluded to the mass of Irish who arrived last year, the cost of whom to the present time exceeds £40,000, and the consequen&.e of which was that 4000 houses in the borough are now unoccupied. The parish wished there fore for some instructions how to act in the matter. In reply, Sir George Grey said that government could not interfere in any way to prevent the immigration, but that by a recent act the remedy provided by the legislature was the power of removal back to Ireland of the persons ap plying for relief. The chairman then said that the Vestry must therefore help themselves, and meet importation by exportation ; and the inhabitants of the town would help the Vestry by determinately refusing to give any money to unknown beggars in the street. It appeared that the steam-boat proprietors bring the Irish from that coun try at ls. a head, and will not take them back for less than 2s. 6d.—The health of the town, it was stated, was unusually good ; the peuper funerals for the past month had been only 34, whereas in the previous month they were 49, and the month before 54.—From the report of the medical officers it appeared that the staff is to consist of a non-resident physician and surgeon, a house-surgeon, and an apothecary,—the three first to be paid at the rate of £lOO per annum each, and the apothecary £BO and rations. Several applications were received, and, after divisions had been come to, Dr. Burgess was appointed physician, Dr. Gee, surgeon, and Mr. Steel house surgeon ; and the services of Mr. Taylor and Mr. Leather were ordered to be discontinued at the end of three months. Mr. Gildhersleeves was elected a district medical officer in the place of Dr. Torbuck. At the meeting of this body on Thursday, Mr. Nicol, the deputy-chairman, presided. There were also present sixteen other members. Mr. J. Bramley-Moore sent in his resignation of the chairmanship of the committee, and in doing so bade the members " an affectionate and grate ful farewell," thanked them " for the great kindness and indulgence which he had received as their president, and for the unbounded confidence always reposed in him, which he could say conscientiously had never been abused." The following passage from the letter is highly import ant 'When I accepted the important office of Dock Chairman, I found the estate prosperous, and with a large surplus —a sur nlus sufficient to enable you, with due regard to the bondhold- ers, to make considerable reductions in the dues in 1844, and a further reduction during the past year to the amount of about .140,000 per year. It is highly satisfactory for me, after a care ful examination of the accounts, to be able to state, that not withstanding these reductions in favour of the commerce of the country, the estate exhibits a surplus of income over expendi ture of .e 35,761. In arriving at this result, the interest on the entire bond debt, including the new north docks and purchases at Wapping, is charged to the debtor side, and not added to the capital. The tonnage inwards during the present official year, as compared with the corresponding period of last year, say from the 24th of June to this date, is also a gratifying cir cumstance, the increase being 26,371 tons. _ _ _ On the motion of Mr. Molyneux, a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Moore " for the able and zealous manner in which he has defended and promoted the interests of the Dock Estate for a period of seven years, and his cour teous and impartial conduct in the chair during a period of five years." Mr.. Tobin,. as the oldest member of the board, seconded the motion, and said that no chairman could have given more satisfaction than Mr. Moore. They were very much obliged to him for all that he bad done. The various committees were then appointed. On the Warehouse Management Committee, Messrs. Saunders, Rankin, Bold, Henderson, Mann, and Molyneux were proposed as members . — Mr. Aikin thought that if Mr. Robinson were appointed on this committee, it would save several thousands a year, as he was intimately ac quainted with warehouse management, and there were warehouse-keepers in the town who had conducted a much larger business than the committee had to manage, at a tithe of the expense which it cost the committee. — Several members thought that the appointment of Mr. Robinson, when there was no vacancy, would imply a vote of censure on the committee.—After some further discussion, the committee was appointed, without inclu ding Mr. Robinson,—Mr. Mann first observing that these warehouses were a novelty in Liverpool, and the committee had to contend with many great difficulties, and against the opposition of almost the whole town in the management of them. Let a man be ever so conver sant with the up-town warehouses, he was as a child when he came to these warehouses, and he had to unlearn much that would be beneficial in the management of other warehouses. The expense of management had been vastly increased in consequence of the opposition they had to contend with from the warehouse-owners, the land owners, the merchants, the brokers, the warehousemen, the carters, and every individual. -The sub-committee had been watched with a lynx eye; and if by any possibi lity an error was detected, then came a claim against the dock estate. He thought it would be hardly right that any alteration should take place at present. Up to three month; rotas average cost on goods was 151(1. per ton, but wit i.c , ..t• !act three months the cost had been reduced to 114 d. a ;‘,n, and they had great hopes—indeed a certainty—of reducing it considerably still; therefore, the present committee ought to have the credit for any thing that occurred in the cheapening of the charges.

The commissary made all haste to lay his complaint before Lord Wellington—" And did Picton say that he would hang von ?" "He did—h e swore he would."

As you and all your readers are aware, there is in exist ence a very heavy tax upon daylight —or, if you like, " sunshine," in the shape of a window-tax. This may be just and very proper ; but at the same time I do not see why daylight should be taxed more than " moonlight," and therefore would I take the liberty of recommending his lordship to tax the latter, were no other benefit de rived from this measure than this, that it would have the effect of completely annihilating the Financial Reform Association ; the quantity of moonshine dealt in by them being so large, they could never pay the tax imposed upon them. It would, though, be more from the quantity emitted than the quantity received. They would find themselves in a parallel position with an economically-in clined gentleman, who, in order to avoid the additional tax of an extra window, decided upon closing the window of his scullery. They would also have to close up their scullery, and a dirty one it is.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, A. P. J. B [lf the Association would direct its attention more im mediately to an endeavour to effect a revision of our cus toms and excise duties, it would not so entirely justify our correspondent's censure.] PROPERTY TAX TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, SlR,—Will you oblige by informing me, a constant reader of your valuable paper, " why myself and so many others in Liverpool have not yet received from Govern ment their orders for a return of the property-tax for the year 1846-7," though they have paid the tax for the year 1847-8, such parties not being possessed of the income of £l5O per annum ? You would also oblige by suggesting " whether it be advisable to address the Commissioners for Special Purposes, Somerset House, London, in the public papers, or for the parties to call a public meeting to deliberate as to what is best to be done." I am, sir, your obedient servant, W. M. Toxteth Park, Nov. 15, 1848. REMEDY FOR IRISH IMMIGRATION TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, SIR,-It appears painfully plain that we are on the eve of witnessing a recurrence of those fearful scenes of sick ness, want and woe, brought amongst us in the winter of 1846, by the unhappy Irish sufferers. Government having formerly declined granting any relief for the past, or remedy for the future, I suggest to our local authorities, if it is not in their power to levy a rate offour or five shillings each on all deck passengers entering our Port from Ireland. This plan has been acted upon by the Canadian Go vernment; and its adoption was forced upon that colony by circumstances precisely similar to those iu which the rate-payers of Liverpool are now placed. The result has been most successful. Supposing that this " head money " were to be re covered from the owners of vessels importing immigrants, it would simply lead to the instant raising of the passage money from one to five or six shillings; the destitute would be compelled to cast themselves upon their legal protectors ; whilst those who come to this port for legiti mate purposes would not, even with the rate named, be charged an unreasonable sum for their passage. As a matter of consequence, I should suggest that the entire sum thus received should be paid over to the paro chial authorities, for the purpose of returning to Ireland all those whose " settlement " belonged to that country. I am, &c., W. _ _ [We doubt if our authorities have the power to carry out our correspondent's suggestion, or it would doubtless have the intended effect.] MR. POLLOCK'S sTli NOV. SERMON TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SIR,—Mr. Pollock has acted, I think, very properly in giving this sermon to the public. The printing of it gave rise to some observation and comment : and since, as is usual in such cases, much was imputed to him that he did not say, he only availed himself of the proper channel for rectifying any mistakes by publishing what he actually did say. I have read the sermon with attention and de light. It is an excellent exposition and application, generally, of the passage selected for the text ( Luke ix.- 54-56 1., It brings together also some dates, documents, and information about the four services appointed in our book of common prayer that must always be valuable. But, has it ever been urged that these services rest upon the same authority with the remainder of the prayer-book ? The question really is, whether, albeit short of that au thority, they possess not sufficient sanction to justify (or even, more) the stated use of them. I thought as I was perusing the sermon that Mr. Pollock might well have accounted for the severity of the expressions against which he took exception, by referring them to the period at which the service was compiled, and the proximity of the danger from which the nation had been delivered. And considering the position, prospects, and efforts of the same enemy to our religion and our country in the pre sent day, I cannot but regret that the able mind and pen of Mr. Pollock has not rathur boon directed into come such channel, than through that now chosen by him. Notwithstanding, as I have said, the sermon is an ad mirable one, and I commend it to a wide circulation. —I am, yours, &c., PROTESTANS. SUPPOSE THE JEWS BECOME. "THE POWERS THAT BE," WHAT TREATMENT WOULD CHRISTIANITY EXPERIENCE AT THEIR HANDS? (From a Correspondent.) This problem suggested itself more than once to our mind. It exercised our thoughts a few years ago, when a Christian gentleman, Mr. Cribbace by name, advocated, at a public meeting held in Crosby Hall, London, the Utopian scheme for Englishmen to purchase Palestine, for the purpose of reinstating the Jews there as a nation. After Mr. C. had eloquently expounded his views to his crowded audience, a Jew, Mr. Mitchell by name, got up and coolly put the question to Mr. C., " If you reinstate us in Palestine, shall we be permitted at once to drive Bishop Alexander and his attendants out of Jerusalem ?" The above problem then for the first time flashed forcibly upon our minds, and exercised our ingenuity a good deal. We did not like, however, to give the solution we arrived at. The same problem has now again invaded the cham bers of our thoughtfulness, and as we are very reluctant to take upon ourselves the responsibility of solving it, we propose it to our readers. Let us see what hand that intelligent body will make of it. _ _ The reason - of the above problem recurring to our minds is the following :—The Established Church of Scotland had for some time a very flourishing missionary station amongst the Jews of Tunis. That Church estab; lished in Tunis two excellent schools—for boys and girls —which were ably managed under the superintendence of the Rev. N. Davis, and Miss M. E. Brown, and were the means of doing a great deal of good amongst the Jewish rising generation of Tunis, in every point of view.. General education began to be diffused in that hitherto most benighted regency. There are, however, in the British Consulate of Tunis two office bearers, who are of the Jewish nation—whose creed is,, if creed it may be called, atheistical—father and son ; the former is Chan cellor and the latter Secretary of that Consulate—Messrs. Santitiana by name. These two worthies are the sole managers of British affairs in that important Regency. These individuals, though excommunicated from the Jewish synagogue on account of their gross immorality and avowedly infidel principles, are nevertheless the most virulent and implacable enemies of Christianity and Christians. They became " moved with envy," when they beheld the success the Gospel obtained amongst the Jews of Tuuis ; and have therefore exerted all their influ ence to banish once more the preacher of " righteousness, temperance, and judgment to. come" from that dark region. They made peace with, the chief Rabbi of Tunis —the spiritual head of the Jewish community there—and assured him that he might do anything he liked to. the Jewish Christians, her Britannic Majesty's Consul general would do nothing towards protecting `'those wretches,." The Rabbi, who hitherto did not venture to lay violent hands on Jewish Christians, hailed this de claration with great complacency, knowing that the Messrs. Santitiana were " the powers that be" in the British Consulate there,, and could therefore do all their pleasure. Rabbi Shim Bisi then communicated the same intelligence to his son-in-law, Khaid Youseph—the civil head of the Jews of Tunis. This Youseph y rich man, and is one of the principal mon: y-letulers to the impoverished Bey, and for a large sum of money pur ckased for himself the Khaidship over the Jews of Tunis. The Bey is under great obligations to him. The Tunisian Pharisees—the Rabbi and Khaid—finding that the British SaduceeE—the Chancellor and Secretary of the British Consulate—were desirous of yielding them a sacrilegeous hand in persecuting, and if possible in extirpating, Jewish Christians from Tunis, repaired to the Bardo—the Bey's palace—and obtained the most cruel edicts against the Jewish followers of the Lamb. Some Jewish Christians were imprisoned and bastinadoed, and others had nar rowly escaped being beheaded. The Rev. N. Davis, though a British resident, was in danger of his life, and the schools were broken up ' • for the most violent and systematic persecution was set on foot against the parents who would dare to send their children to the Scotch school, and thus the missionary, his wife, and Miss B rown , the worthy foundress of the girls' school, were obliged to leave Tnnis on the shortest notice ; and all this because Jews are " the powers that be" in the Tunisian British Consulate. We do not at present comment on the con duct of Sir Thomas Reade, the British Consul-general ; we expect the Church of Scotland will, ere long, lay a succinct account of that functionary's behaviour before the British public. We quote the following passage from an article which appeared in the Malta Mail on the 26th of last May. The article refers to a report which was too good to be true, viz., that Sir Thomas Reade had received orders from the Minister of Foreign Affairs to dismiss the Santilianas forthwith from the British Con sulate. The article contains the following passage : " Now the British subjects must sing a Te Deum for having got rid of the said Messrs. Santilianas, men the most tyrannic and cruel, who have been the means of all the injustices which Sir Thomas Reade afforded to his British subjects." We must not omit to notice, that the best and most heartfelt thanks of the British Christian public are due to Mr. Ferriere, the British Vice-C onsu l o f T un i s . If it were not for his prompt, energetic, philanthropic, and Christian conduct, some Christian Jews would most pro bably have been beheaded, For our own part we feel Nor. 2,184 g. Iheartily grateful to the Almighty that a man possessed of such Christian principles is to be fo un d i n th e British consulate of Tunis, though his power is necessarily n' mited. We are pleased with the tone of some of the Jewi preachers and lecturers in this country, and we belie" , that some of those gentlemen may be the means of re: moving the bitter hostility which pervades the Jewi, breasts towards Christianity. For instance, we bra with no small degree of gratification of Dr. Raphalri liberal sentiments, enunciated by that preacher last Sa' turday week in the Jewish Synagogue, Seel-street, also, on the same evening, in the Mechanics' Institutioe; but we know, to our sorrow, that there are many more Mitchells in England than Militialls. We cannot helP' therefore, proposing to our readers the following problem' for their solution :—SUPPOSE THE JEWS BECOME " TB f POWERS THAT BE," WHAT TREATMENT WILL CHRISTI' ANITY EXPERIENCE AT THEIR HANDS ? POLICE INTELLIGENCE On Saturday, three men were committed for trial , charged with having stolen five firkins of butter from the Clarence Dock quay, just landed by the Hercules from Newry. Two other men were committed for receivllli the same, knowing them to have been stolen. VIOLENT ASSAULT.—On Tuesday, at the police-court' two men, named James Bowman and Joseph Croft, Wee charged with committing a violent assault upon an elclerlf gentleman, named M'Cann, at the corner of Regen t ' street, Waterloo-road. Mr. M'C ann was conveye d, la 9 state of extreme exhaustion, to the shop of Mr. Lon;' ridge, a druggist, labouring under a severe wound on the left temple, which had been inflicted with some sbarP instrument. A short time ago, he had occasion to aP' pear against some companions of the prisoners, who form part* of a lawless gang, and are th e terror of that part° the town. Committed for trial. THE MARINE STORE DEALERS.—It appears these gen' try have hit upon an expedient to circumvent the vigilana l of the police, which of late has been directed especially to their mode of doing business. On Thursday a elan named Smith, who keeps a s t ore i n B r i c k- s t ree t, Wag brought before Mr. Rushto n , c h arge d w i t h h av i ng 20P' lqr. 171bs. of lead in his shop, supposed to have been stolen ; the lead was melted. Smith stated that he ben, bought it from two women whos e names are Mulholland and Campbell, and both of whom keep marine store: The women denied the charge. From the fact of the lead being melted, it was impossible to trace the ownership; the three prisoners were consequently discharged. THE DESTITUTE IRISH.—The approach of winter brings instances of the miserable condition of the poor Irish in this town. On Thursday two peasant lads from the unhappy country were brought before Mr. Rushton on the charge of having stolen a few turnips. A police constable arrested them at Everttn, with the turnips 11 1 their possession, which they stated were taken from 1 ! field four miles off. They gave their names as Michael and Martin Drury. The magistrate enquired from what part of Ireland the lads came, to which they replied Ross' common, but declined to return, as they have no friends there. The only alternative open to the magistrate ive i put in force, namely. fourteen days' imprisonment. STEALING A CONV.—On Saturday, Edward Hassall Michael Coody, two butchers belonging to this towl! 1 were brought before the magistrates at Birkenheser charged with having stolen a fat cow, the property o f the Rev. Josias King, of Woodchurch, in Cheshire. It ell' peared that the cow had been taken from a field at Wood: church at a very early hour on Monday last, and brough t over to Liverpool (by two men answering the descriptio n of the prisoners) from Tranmere ferry, by the six o'cloel boat. On Thursday or Friday Hassatl or Coody called t ° sell a cow's hide at a tannery in Bevington-bush. Tlla tanner noticed that it answered the description given 1 . 1 1 a descriptive bill, a copy of which he had received, ett sent out for the police, but the men ran away. The , were, however, captured, and c o mm itt e d t o Ch es t er caste / for trial. IMPUDENT CLAIM.—On Saturday, a claim for wage was made by a seaman named Taylor against Captali i Duncan, of the Ravine. He and twenty others had de; serted the vessel to get higher wages. After the case had been heard, Mr. Rushton said to Taylor.—" H aw did yell get back to Liverpool ?" Taylor : " I came in the Aber deen." Mr. Rushton : "At what amount of wa g es? Taylor ".f..5 per month." Mr. Rushton (to the car tain): " I advise you to seek out the owners of the Abet: deen, in order that their wages may not be paid. This le one of those common robberies committed by fellows who sign articles to go to our colonial ports : they desert the ship in order to obtain higher wages. If yoswill take rof advice, you will warn the owners of the Aberdeen ; 31; 1 may file an information against the crew, and they will be made to pay all the expenses you have incurred, the who l e twenty-one of them, and you cann o t d o a b e tt er servic e to the mercantile marine than by doing this." CHARGE OF EVADING DOCK DUES.—On Wednesdail Messrs. Boyd and Brown, commissi on merc h an t s , appearel`, to answer a summons preferred by th e d oc k solicitor, a l' leging that the defendants had shipped a quantity of 1: 0 % iron on board the ship Ohio, lying in the Waterloo Dock. The vessel left this port on Saturday, and on Monday the defendants tendered the amount of the dues at the Dock' office, when it was refused. Mr. Rushton, after hearing evidence, said there was no legal proof of an attempt tv . evade the dues, the course pursued being the usual one , besides, the defendant did not hear anything of the sun?' mons till after the money was tendered. A. c lerk is Messrs. Boyd's office said he had repeatedly paid dues on iron two d .vs after the shipment. There was no attempt made to evade payment. Mr. Rushton thought the sys tem pursued Rel 3 a lax one, but he should!, under the cir cumstances, merely infl" - - - • ,con- a nominal penalty or (-vs.., anc order the double amount of dues to be paid. The full pe nalty is £20.. EiTRAORDINARY ROBBERY. — James Carr, Jamesßeed , and Henry Green, three bailiffs' followers, were charged/ on Saturday, with having stolen a clock and sofa, value £3 10s., from the house of Mrs. Margaret King,, Hill street. In the course of Friday the prisoners, with two other men not in custody, entered Mrs. King's house, and said they had come to levy under a distress warrant; but produced no authority. Mrs. King was astunishe n beyond measure. She owed no debt, and could not be le arrears for rent, inasmuch as she is the owner of the house which she occupies. The men threatened tha t ' unless they were paid 17s. 6d. they would distrain upo n her goods. She ordered them away. They came bacli., however, shortly afterwards-, and, smashing in the back door, effected a f orc ibl e en t rance, an d too k a c l oc k and sofa from th e b ac k par l our.

Mr. Rushton "Why them. One officer should be a match for fi ve thieves : all thieves are cowards." Some of the bailiff fraternity, but not, it was stated, the prisoners themselves, had been engaged on the previous day by the agent of Mrs. Kill to make a levy on a tenant in G a s c oy n e-court, who had for a longtime paid her no rent, but given her much abuse' The men were beaten out of th e ho use; a nd. it is CAT" jectured, although it did not clearly t rans pi re d ur i n g th e hearing in court, that non-payme n t by th e agen t o f that!, fees had stimutated the felonious p rocee di ng describe' above.
