Clutration, THE WIFE of a CLERGYMAN, residing in the Village of Harhorne, three wiles from Birmingham, engaged in the TUITION of a limited number of BOYS, be tween the ages of seven and thirteen, will have FOUR VA CAN(IRS at Christmas. The Course of Instruction comprises Greek, Latin, Euclid, and the general varieties of a Boy's Education. The Pupils enjoy the advantagp,ora comfortable Home. with careful religious training. - Anna tion is considered healthful. Terms, Forty-five G as per Annum. References are y permitted to the Ven. the Archdeacon of Worcester, esowen ; Rev. Joseph Baylee, Principal of the Theolt al College, Birkenhead; Rev. Charles Maunder, Kingwood Parsonage, near Bristol ; Rev. J. H. Stewart, Limpsfield. Surrey; and the Rev. J. E. Riddle, St. Philip's, Cheltenham. until these are pushed up to an exorbitant price, and then they are forced to have recourse to the securities of foreign states, or to railway and other like speculative investments; and thus capital is drawn away from the country, and very frequently never returns. Trade suffers incalculably by the operation of this Law of Partnership, and gross in. justice is wrought upon the innocent. Any one who can be proved to have lent on the condition of having a share in the profit, is made liable to every one of the borrower's creditors, although he has no means of protecting himself from so uncertain and overwhelming a responsibility. The case of the Monmouthshire Bank just now exhibits the working of the law in a striking light. The credi tors may recover the full amount of their debts from the unfortunate shareholders, while these, who consist of professional men, widows, clergy men, and small shopkeepers, will be utterly ruined, although they had no control over the management of the establishment, and are perfectly free from all moral responsibility beyond the amount of their shares, This question, then, of unlimited respon sibility in Partnership, is another of those that tie mand the serious and instant attention of Parlia ment; and we trust that independent members will not allow the Government to evade taking it fully and honestly into consideration. The question of the Steam-mail Contract Service is likewise one that must he immediately discussed and determined. If British Merchants are to be exposed to the competition of the world, at least they are entitled to have every facility given them for carrying on that competition successfully—at least they should be allowed to enter the contest free from unnecessary restrictions, and released from those fetters which palpably check their ener gies. There are several other mercantile subjects which demand the instant and earnest considera tion of Parliament, and we hope that no mere party scheme, and consequent long debates, will be per mitted to intervene, and so prevent the real busi ness of the country from being done. Political questions are all very well at the proper time ; but just now the vital question for England is—how can her drooping commerce be revived, how can her languishing manufactures be invigorated, how can her exhausted agriculture be relieved, how can her sickly industry of all sorts be restored to a sound and wholesome state. Parliament must settle that paramount question first. It must have precedence of all tinkering with the Constitution. ESTABLITIMENT IN L'VERPOOT: OF A CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCRIPTURE READERS' SOCIETY. Yesterday, a most interesting and important meeting o the clergy and laity was held in the Clarendon-rooms South John-street, for the purpose of establishing " Liverpool Church of England Scripture Readers Society." The attendance was numerous and highly in. fluential. Amongst the gentlemen present we noticed — The Ven. A .chdeacon Brooks, Revs. A. Campbell, Dr. M`litile, J. Poser, R K. Pain, Fenton, H.

The Venerable Archdeacon Brooks, and the Rev. Augustus Campbell, rectors of Liverpool, presided. The Venerable ARCHDEACON, in opening the business, observed th a t th e grea t ma j or ity of his rev. brethren in the town were advocates for this pioneer system of appoint ing script ure rea d ers i n th e t own , as it wa s thought this would work more effectually than if their duties were to devolve upo n an a dditi ona l num b er o f c l erg y men being appointed. He would read to them the basis upon which the sleiety contemplated was to be formed. [The circular, read by the chairman, and drawn up by the rectors, will be found advertised in another column, along with the resolutions come to at the meeting.] e ß hare e s ki! society,got Ih r elCy patronageA ap observed, pa e rn n od E v n inf n rgoomof f theishelLooor that drbdsj ehßei lordship 8 : s he had no edf beensrtheo;: requested De Theovee Diocese s ae R ie letter o tt of cietv, and expressing his readiness to act as patron of it, and he hoped that under God's blessing it might he made the means of supplying that increased spiritual instruction which was so much needed. His lordship wished to be informed on what scale the donations had been made. Mr. ADAM HODGSON spoke of the great scriptural des titution amongst the people, and urged, as an imnerative duty, on the laity to come forward and assist the clergy in affording to the people that which they so much required. One great way in which they could do this wa• through pecuniary contributions, and another way was, after that, they (the laity) had discharged their business duties due from them towards their families, to devote a portion of their time to the same object. He most cordially rejoiced in the plan proposed ; and he hoped his lay friends would come forward and show that they were in earnest in the matter. The Rev. Wm. PoLtocx observed that a gentleman, to whom he had just been speaking at the door, had under. taken to bear half the expense of a scripture reader for the district of Vauxhall-road. The Rev. Rector CAMPBELL suggested annual subscrip tions, say for three years, in preference to donations, as this would enable them to go to work in the cause with better heart. The Rev. Archdeacon BROOKS, in answer to a question as to the probable expense of working the society, said this would, of course, depend upon the support they met. The population consisted of 400,000 people, and he was one of those who thought that the clergy could not reach the great body of these. They might probably find ac commodation for them in their churches, when they had spread among them that information and influence which would induce them to frequent church. It bad been said by some, that those churches which had been built for the lower classes were not filled. He, however, begged to differ with this to a certain extent; but it was a misfortune that the churches for general purposes had been built in knots, and had not been sufficiently spread throughout the town. To carry law and order to the doors of the people, they must carry also religion. Mr. SAMUEL BOLME, in a pertinent speech, dwelt upon the great importance of the object of the meeting. If they valued their privileges as Christians and Church men, nay, if they valued them as Englishmen, for the purpose of having a moral population, to preserve their institutions, and to prevent placing the country on the vortex of a volcano, they would see it to be their duty to come forward in this cause. The Venerable ARCHDEACON suggested that perhaps the best way would be at once to enter into a subscription now, and make that publicly known, and then the body of subscribers, at a subsequent meeting, could elect their committees to carry into effect the necessary details. The Rev. Rector CAMPBELL remarked that it was the principle of the society that no Scripture reader was to be intruded into any clergyman's district without the consent and concurrence of such clergyman. In reference to this observation, the Venerable Rector BROOKS read a letter from the Archbishop of Canterbury, in reply to an application made to him to become the patron of the Scripture Readers' Society in the county of Kent, which society contemplated the appointment of Scripture readers by a committee, independent of the sanction of the clergymen. His lordship regretted that this principle rendered it impossible for him to give his patronage, but that if this rule was altered he would gladly afford his aid. The alteration was made, and the Arch-. bishop was now the patron of the society. The . Rev. Dr. APSTEILE suggested the desirability of having among the Scripture readers persons fully con versant with the Romish controversy, and that classes should be established at which their Roman Catholic bre thren should have permission to attend and to ask questions. Mr. CHRISTOPHER BUSHELL suggested the desirability, when a certain amount of subscriptions had been obtained, of convening a public meeting, which would give an op portunity of explaining fully the details. Mr. INMAN thought they should at once come ter some resolution. It was not merely meeting there and putting down their names, that would send the matter before the public. Mr. MOLYNEL'X moved that a society should then be established on the basis proposed. This resolution was carried ; and it was resolved, that the resolution, with a list of the subscriptions, and the number of the honorary secretaries, should be advertised in the newspapers. The meeting then separated. insuranre two. THE CAMBRIAN & UNIVERSAL INSURANCE COMPANY, 61, MOORGATE-STREET, LONDON, INCORPORATED BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT, FOR FIRE AND LIFE. I NSUR , NCE.

Example.—ln the case of the policy of .elBOO opened be fore 15th November 1825, for instance, as quoted above, assuming the party to have assured at the age of 35, and to be now 60 last birth-day, the sum of £463 7s. 9d. would be given for a surrender of the Bonus of .e 873, while the policy will continue to receive its share of profits, at future investigations, as if the surrender had not taken place. APPLICATION OF THE BONUS TO THE EXTINCTION tiberpoot g§tattbarbf TUESDAY MORNING, NOV. 4, 1851 THE NEW FRENCH CABINET FRANCE has continued for another week an inex plicable political problem. She is ruled somehow, and pretty stringently too, but nobody knows who are the rulers. The governmental position has been shifted, but the situation of the Government is the same. Ministers, or rather the names of ministers, have been gazetted as appointed to the vacant offices of state, but there exists in reality no tangible ministry. Louis Napoleon, forced by the rising discontent of the people of Paris at the prolongation of the crisis to do something, has promulgated a list of names, which everybody knows is only a pro forma" one—a cabinet upon paper, merely intended to meet the exigency of the moment. The gentlemen thus charged with the several portfolios are all respectable in general character, but quite unknown to fame as public functionaries. Three only out of the nine are members of the National Assembly. That, to be sure, does not make much difference in France, for by the present constitution a Parliamentary cabinet is not absolutely necessary. In fact, the President can, and has, maintained his ministry in direct hostility to the National Assembly, thus giving the country the advantage of a Government by two antagonistic powers. Several of the mem bers of the new cabinet were strangers to each other until they were unexpectedly brought face to face as colleagues in the ministry, and two or three of them were personally unknown to the President of the Republic, until they stood before him to receive their seals of office. What is passing strange in the composition of the cabinet is, that the chief, M. de Thoringy, was neither a friend of Louis Napoleon, nor even a Buonapartist, before he was desired to construct a ministry; on the contrary, his political opinions were of the Legiti mist cast. He did not even know the President by sight, until he was summoned to St. Cloud. Moreover, the three members of the cabinet who have seats in the National Assembly, voted in favour of the Electoral law of May, the repeal of which is the first object of Louis Napoleon. Im probable as it may be, it is said that notwithstand ing these votes all the members of the new cabinet were d'accord. It would be vain to expect such a make-shift to stand any time. Some, however, think that it may be made to serve the President's purpose until the Electoral law shall be disposed of. Yesterday (Monday) the National Assembly met after its long vacation, and the President's message was, of course, communicated to it. Until we know for certain the substance of that message, and the line of policy it will chalk out, it would be a waste of time to speculate on what may be the future position of the Government of France, or of the nation itself. The rumour most accredited in Paris was, that the message will require a repeal of the law of May, but that just and reasonable restrictions upon universal suffrage will be declared compatible with such repeal. The number of representatives in Paris, when our last accounts left, was unusually large, and the excitement in the capital was extreme. THE COMMERCIAL BUSINESS OF THE NEXT SESSION. WHIG Statesmen have ever considered that it was a fine piece of political jockeyship to lead their opponents astray upon a false scent, and that to scramble over a session without doing anything conclusive or well-adjusted, by means of adroit expedients and small compromises, was an admi rable parliamentary feat. There is every reason to suppose that the present Ministry intend to put in practice these, their favourite tactics, in the ensuing session. They hope, by throwing down a sham Reform Bill as soon as the House of Com mons meets, to engage members in endless discussions on it, and to occupy the undivided attention of parties; and they flatter themselves that, while independent representatives will be thus busied, they may be allowed to get on by passing a few temporary make-shifts, or by leaving difficult and dangerous subjects of legislation precisely as they are. But we trust they will be foiled this time in these, their habitual manoeuvres, and that the Conservative party will insist that the really important work of the session be not postponed or evaded. Several measures of vital interest to the commercial and general community now press for decision—measures infinitely more urgent than this obtruded parliamentary reform, which nobody believes necessary, and which few ask for, and even then in a tone of indifference. The first great question that will have to be settled will be the continuance, or non-continuance, of the Income Tax. A conclusion upon that point must be arrived at without a moment's unavoidable delay, for on it hinges the whole financial arrange ments of the country. Then there is the question of a reform of the Customs departments, which the mercantile classes are urging with a voice that cannot be neglected, supported as it is by justice, and the crying evils and oppressions of the existing system which late investigations have exposed to light. Another subject that the legislature will have to deliberate upon is the Law of Partnership, upon which a committee sat last session, and took a mass of instructive evidence. This law is a perpetual pitfall to the unwary, and an impedi ment to fair and honest commercial adventure. By the Partnership Law, as it now exists, the capitalist may lend his money at any extravagant rate of interest he can obtain by means of well known ingenious contrivances, and secure to him self the repayment of his advances in preference to the general creditors ; but should he lend any por tion of this money in the most legitimate and de sirable way—that is, on the condition of sharing in the profit and loss of the concern—in such case the lender will become a partner, and will be held liable for the debts of the concern to his last shil ling and his last acre. The effect is similar with respect to joint-stock associations, and prudent capitalists are thereby deterred by a fear of conse quences from embarking in the most promising and unimpeachable undertakings.

The Public are indebted to this Company for the introduc tion of new and important benefits in the practice of Life Assurance. A Standard Policy which has existed for five years is admissible to a class of "SELECT ASSURANCES"; and in that class all Policies are unchallengeable on any ground whatever. The Directors have also made provision in connection with that class, for relieving the Assured who have no prospect of going abroad, from the usual irksome restric tions as to Residence beyond the limits of Europe. Persons lending money on the security of Policies, Marriage Trustees, and, in short, all who rely on the security afforded by As surances, cannot fail to appreciate these new and important advantages. _ By order of the Board, PETER EWART, Resident Secretary 82, King William-street, London.

THOMAS CASTLE. — This gentleman, who was so highly respected, and whose unfortunately premature and untimely death we have recorded elsewhere, was yesterday interred in St. James's Cemetery. The funeral was strictly private. TO CORRESPO/DENTS, ADULTERATION OE TEA, WINES, &c.—ln answer to an article on this subject in our last. in which we showed the necessity for all doubtful articles received at our Custom-house being submitted to a chemical test, our contemporary of Wednes day has offered some remarks, but has not attempted to deny or falsify any of the statements set forth. On it future occa sion we shall revert to the subject, and show the fallacy of our contemporary's reasoning, if, indeed, any thing in his comments merits the use of that word. J. G.'s letter stsnds over till meat week. A Subscriber.—The amount stated is correct. We feel obliged to " Civis" for the statistical facts he ha municated. We shall make use of them next week. We agree with " Pedestrian," that Castle-street is long enough under the doctoring hands of the Improvement Committee. We might say the same of many other thoroughfares in the town. " Eliza's" music is so dreadfully pathetic that we fear to com municate it to our tender-hearted readers. We have no desire to see the fair ladies of Liverpool turned into so many Niohes—all tears. We shall be happy, at all times, to receive communications on subjects of local or general interest; and if our friends will be good enough to authenticate the same by their signa tures, for our own satisfaction, we shall feel obliged A COM- THE NEW MAYOR. The election of Town Councillors on Saturday last passed off in a satisfactory manner upon the whole. Although in one or two wards the best candidates that offered were not selected, the new council, taken altogether, may be considered an improvement on the old in point of talent, respecta bility, and conservative opinion. On Monday next the highly important duty will devolve on this body of choosing a fit and proper person to fill the office of Chief Magistrate of the Borough, and we enter tain the most confident hope that they will dis charge this function without undue affection or favour, but solely with the view of placing in the civic chair the gentleman best qualified by his social position, his character, and his general bear ing, to occupy it. We believe that only two candidates are to be proposed for the distinguished office of Mayor of Liverpool on the 9th instant, — Mr. Thomas Littledale and Mr. Samuel Holme. Both are gentlemen evidently qualified for the high station they aspire to on the grounds of public estimation and private worth. Mr. Holme has devoted his energies and abilities to the service of his fellow-citizens for a great number of years, and has been a leading promoter of some of the finest buildings and institutions in the town. We parti cularly allude to St. George's Hall, of which he was one of the originators, and to the Collegiate Institution, of which he was one of the founders. His liberality, in• the proper sense of the word, is too well known to be more than merely mentioned, and his excellence as an employer of a vast number of workmen needs not be dwelt upon, for it requires no amplification. Mr. Littledale, on the other hand, has also many peculiar and all-acknowledged qualifications for the post of honour in question. He unites hereditary claims to distinction in the town of Liverpool with a personal character of the very first rank as a merchant, a citizen, and a gentleman. Moreover, it is understood that when he resigned the chairmanship of the dock com mittee there was an honourable understanding that he was to be Mayor elect for this year. Under these circumstances we believe we are right in surmising that Mr. Holme will waive his perfectly legitimate and well-founded claim to the civic chair on the present occasion, and that Mr. Littledale will be elected without going to the vote. Should this gentleman attain the Mayoralty, we feel convinced he will fully maintain the dignity, the hospitality, and the commercial character of this great muni cipal borough, and that, in whatever novel or distinguished position he may be placed during his year of office, he will reflect as much credit on Liverpool, as Liverpool ever must reflect on her first magistrate. COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS, .-..02,...-- MONDAY NIGHT Our Sharemarket is without any new feature this week. There has been very little business. A quiet, steady mar ket, with scarcely a fluctuation all week. A gradual con sumption of stock is going on, which must soon tell upon prices. We annex this day's quotations :—Birkenhead L. and Chesh., 11,1 d ; late Ches. and B'head, 161 ; £22- shares, 6ld ; Old Leeds, 541 51 ; L'pool Crosby & S'port, 2gd ; London stock, 1131 c 1131 ; Do. new Quarters, p ; Midland, 481 48 ; Erewash Valley, 63.1- ; North Staffordshire, 81d ; North Western, 14d ; Old Dovers, NI a ; York and North Midland, 19.1-; Borough Bank, 101 114 ; Do. new £lO-shares, 3.16 p. There continues to be a large business done in Sugar, but at lower prices. On Saturday and to-day 2500 bags of Benares found buyers, at 365. for low, to 41s. 9d, for fine white. In Tea, Coffee, and Rum there is little stir ring ; indeed, in business generally there is an absence of all that vigour which we have invariably experienced after a good harvest ; but times and things are changed, and we suppose we are now enjoying those glorious times which were to spring up under the fostering care of that great bugbear—Free-trade. The accounts from America point to a large Cotton crop, but the market here has been very steady, and the sales to-day reach 8000 bales. The accounts from India by the last Overland Mail were of a most unsatisfactory nature. _ We have had another dull week in our wool market but as stocks continue light, there has not been much giving way in prices. In Ireland business is very quiet, farmers are asking more than the staplers can afford to give; little has changed hands in consequence. Messrs. W. Greame and Co., in their monthly circular, state that the market throughout the past month has been very quiet, and the demand—with the exception of a few spe culative purchases in Australian Wools—has been chiefly confined to the immediate requirements of the trade. METALS. — Messrs. John Hill and Co., in their circu lar of Nov. 1, state that the demand for Manufactured Iron continues slack. In Scotch Pig there is a fair busi ness doing for shipment and consumption. C o pp er i s i n fair request, and prices firmly maintained. English Tin firmer than we have known it for some time. In Straits Tin, Tin Plates, Spelter, and Lead, little doing. With respect to the market for cotton manufactures, Messrs. M•Nair, Greenhow, and Irving, in their monthly circular, published on Saturday, state that although they have " to report the existence of a dull, drooping, and de clining state of things, yet a large amount of business has again been transacted during the month. The difficulty of reconciling the outward appearance of the market with its actual working, still continues. Both Goods and Yarns have undergone, in most instances., during the month, a. material decline in value."d LIVERPOOL CHAMBER OF COAIIMERCE, The monthly meeting of the Council was held yesterday, Thomas B. llorsfall, Esq., the President, in the chair. After the routine business was concluded, a report was brought up from the Postal Committee, recommending that the Council should communicate with the Postoffice authorities, begging for the despatch of a mail to Scotland by the train leaving Liverpool at 10 p. m., by which letters would be delivered in Glasgow, &c., early the next morn ing ; also, to bring under tha notice of the Postmaster- General the continued irregularities in the receipt of letters at this port which arrive by the West India and other steamers at Southampton, from which cause a delay of eighteen to twenty hours frequently takes place; and also, to memorialise for the despatch of the north mail from London by the fast train leaving at half-past nine o'clock, instead of at ten o'clock, by which alteration the delivery of letters could be secured at Liverpool at four o'clock p.m. Adopted. The President reported having had an interview with the Dock Surveyor relative to the plans for a central bag gage depot ; and that, in the opinion of the surveyor, suf ficient space could be procured in an eligible site for that purpose, drawings for which were in course of prepara tion. Among the communications were letters complain ing of great irregularity of the postal arrangements be tween this town and Plymouth—(referred to the postal committee) ; from the Board of Trade, in answer to the President's letter on the subject of the construction of a clause in the Merchant Seamen's Act—(ordered to he re plied to); and from the Admiralty, with a notice to mariners. LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY.—The di rectors of this line are availing themselves of all the scien tific improvements of the day. The great electric light is to be used in one of the tunnels, and the magnetic tele graph is in operation, being the first line in England where that extraordinary invention has been applied.— Railway Record. NORTH ATLANTIC HOTEL.—Yesterday evening, a very splendid and sumptuous dinner was given by Mr. Robert Heatley at the above hotel, to celebrate its re-opening. The company nambered very large. An excellent band was in attendance, playing appropriate airs after the various toasts that were proposed. The meeting, in which the highest hilarity prevailed, did not seperate until a late hour, nor did they leave without expressing their approval of the excellent fare; and reciprocal feelings interchanged throughout the evening. INTENDED PRESENTATION.—WC understand that a number of gentlemen connected with the Welsh eistedd fod, recently held in this town, intend presenting the Rev. David James, of Kirkdale, with a mark of their esteem for his zealous exertions in forwarding the inte rests of that festival, in the shape of a costly work, in Welsh and English, on the literature of Cambria, ac companied by a complimentary address, written on vellum and engrossed in beautiful style. The presentation is to take place on Friday next, at the rev. gentleman's residence. _ " UNFORTUNATE FANNY."—The Tranmere steamer Fanny, of " running down notoriety," had another en counter of this kind on Sunday evening. She left the landing stage at half-past six, and when about half way across the river came into collision with the steamer Vernon, also one of Messrs. Willoughby's boats. The Vernon's atarbord sponsors were cut through as if with a knife, and several feet of her bulwarks and seating smashed, but happily no one was injured. There was a strong ebb tide running at the time, and several flats beating down the river, which prevented the steamers getting out of each other's way in time to avoid the acci dent. This is the third collision in less than as many months in whi ch the " unfortunate Fanny" has gene ra lly come off " second best," though in this instance the only damage she received was the partial indention of her stem plating. On Friday last, Owen Hines, one of the workmen em ployed in making the alterations now going on at the Custom-house, was struck by a large stone which was being removed, and was so seriously hurt as to cause death on Sunday. On Tuesday evening last a concert was given at the Music-hall, Warrington, by Mr. J. P. Broadh urst room w patronageas filled lle do with a f the . set Warrington audience, weather was very unfavourable, but, notwithstanding, the and Society. tho under The theentertain ment gave general. sati sfaction.

The weather being very fine, about 30,000 persons were assembled the field facing Copenhagen- hoose, and behaved in the most: orderly manner. When Kossuth advanced, bare headed, to the balcony, Le was received with the most en thusiastic cheering. The address from the inhabitants of London was presented to him, and he read a written reply, acknowledging the sentiments expressed on pre vious occasions, and thanking the assembly for the honour they had done him. There were no other speeches, and the mob gradually dispersed about four o'clock. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY, ONE P.M. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Corn. pany's ship Montrose has arrived, with mails and dates from Gibraltar to October 25th ; Li s bo n , 29th ; C a di z , 26th ; and Vigo, 30th. She brings six packa ge s o f spec i e. Information arrived at Gibraltar on the 18th o f O ct., that a large number of piratical M oors , on th e Rif C oast of Morocco, had taken a brig, the crew of which escaped in their boats. H. M. S. Indus went over in search of the vessel, and on her arrival on the coast the Moors attacked her. Lieutenant Pownall and the master's assistant were wounded, also eight of the crew, one of whom has since died. Information has since arrived that the Moors have six English seamen from another vessel, for whom they demand 600 dollars ransom. Despatches were forwarded by the Sultan (s.) to Sir W. Parker, at Malta. Despatches were also forwarded to Commoiore Martin, at Lisbon, who, on the morning of the 28th, forwarded H. M. ship Arethusa and screw frigate Daunt. less to Gibraltar. The mails will leave for London by special train at two o'clock. The Daily News correspondent says the Janus steamer succeeded in destroying the pirate boats ; but other ad vices say she was beaten off. TATTERSALL'S—MONDAY.

" THAT CAP FiTs."—A fellow, named William Collins, was sent to gaol for two months for having stolen a cap from the shop of Mr. Hobbs, Old Haymarket, under the following cir cumstances :—On Saturday night, a working man and his wife, accompanied by their son, a boy, were looking at some youths' caps within Mr. Hobbs's shop-door, when the prisoner, who appeared to be stationed to invite in customers, re ques t e d them to go within in order that the youth might try one of the caps on. 1 hey did so, and the prisoner, placing one of the caps upon the boy's head, said, " Ay. now, that cap ju s t fits," and invited them to go forward into the shop, whilst doing so the prisoner took up another cap and walked off with it. The other man said to his wife, "Now, that's a funny c h a p, —h e ' s taken a cap," and upon this followed the prisoner and brought him back ; when it was found that he had only assumed the character of shopman for the occasion, and that he was not in. any way connected with the shop. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said he was very dru n k a t th e t i me and did not know what he was doing. THEFTS FROM THE MARKETS.—The system of pilferingfrom the stalls in the markets on Saturday nights prevails to a great extent. To-day there were no fewer than six cases of persons having, whilst pretending to make purchases, stolen different articles, and about as many other cases of thefts of butcher's meat alone. The parties charged were sent to gaol for periods varying from one to two months. D Ts E WII ITEHOCSE FAMILY AGAIN.—This well-known family, who, about two years ago, rendered themselves noto rious to the Guardian Society by their liberal patronage of the Liverpool tradesman, have again honoured the town with a visit, and again has Mr. Rae commenced operations against them. Their mode of action, as on the former occasion, has been to take weekly lodgings in respectable houses, and, hav ing procured goods on credit for a week, to change their quar ters at the expiration of the stipulated time. To-day, Joseph Whitehouse, Caroline, his wife, Edward, their son, and Ann, thei prisoner daughter, rnetrhce afi.ooillion7ev• following apprehendedenctir circumstances t : Blasnri oe b ps y ;, d —It detective-officer % Bp ' ep-uoetafl4ce.,edr tailorAtlluarphy, the o and draper, No. 10, Finch-street, and ordered a , suit of clothes for her son, which were to be se n t ho me to No. 8, Seymour. b e ent of g n that that house,ta h style t t ny r d e l e st e s t, tti representing a i t herself oeutl,d) ta, e so b to b Smith,we atnahnteedd occupierrepresenting and. The r suit e her hus clothes were taken home, when the prisoner Caroline said her husband was not at home, but that he would call and settle for the one suit, and get measured for another. The prisoners left their lodgings, and were traced to Mr. Wilkinson's, in Everton-road, where they had taken lodgings in the name of Robinson. Here, this morning, thinking they were suspected, they stole out at the back part of the house, and went away into the fields. Murphy, the officer, gave them chase, and ap prehended the mother, father, and son together, and on taking them to bridewell, on the way, they met the daughter, and he also conveyed her to bridewell. The fattier and daughter had not been brought before the court as the evidence against them was not yet complete. The prisoners were under bail to take their trial at Stafford assizes for similar offences.—Mrs. Whitehead stated that she called at the prosecutor's house on Saturday week last, and ordered the clothes, but she did not represent that she was the occupier of the house; she knew better. Her husband had a regular income coming in, and, it was unavoid able occasionally to contract a few debts. Mr. Rae, of the Guardian Society, explained the system pursued by the pri soners. It was to take lodgings for a week, and having obtained all they could, on the faith that M r.Whitehouse was a druggist, about to open a shop in the town, towards the evening of the sixth day to run away. When they were here previously he had between thirty and forty cases against them ; and they had also been taken over to Manchester, but Mr. Maude thought the cases not sufficient to proceed with. The female prisoner said that the late Mr. Rushton had cautioned Mr. Rae to beware how he made such charges. She had rented houses in this town of from .t4O to .t 46 a-year, and her husband had been a druggist in London•road. The prisoners were remanded for seven days. by her Majesty sth of Novem- KIRKDAL U yearly ber, is to be church to-morrow, commencing e pREsE N T r t p treiervice appointed dIiNicseeeL,DSERR'S WINDSOR CASTLE IN TIIR T ra h ' is companion to " Bolton Abbey in (both works,)of whichwa was a may mya lb commission, regarded aas and eeLnr:bilTveen exhibited to the public, either at the Royal bth A hea c eSss a tlO d nßo e elf m d‘E. y, or elsewhere.
