It has been examined by eminent chemists, severely tried by leading silversmiths, and pronounced to be worthy in every respect of the high character given to it in the testi monials so kindly furnished to the proprietor. CAuTioac.—The true Cream has been made for many years only by the inventor, S. DAvies, Chemist, -Chester, whose signature and address purchasers willlease to notice to pre vent disappointment.

Board of Ordna nce for upwa ntury, have proved it to prevent rust or corrosion on Iron longer and better than the very best White Lead, or any other de scription of Paint; and in consequence of its possessing this invaluable quality, all the Iron Guns and Gun Carriages, both for land and sea service, have been painted with it for the above period. It has also been used in great quantities by other public bodies, and by numbers of Gentlemen of the first distinction, to preserve Wooden Houses, Farm and other Outbuildings, Conservatories Park Paling, Gates Co. Iron all , ing, Iron Hurdles , Copper. 'Zinc, Lead, old mpo, &c F ro nts and Tiles to represe nt Slatin g . It will be found a ver y superior preservative of Iron Steamboats, Iron Bridges, Piers, or any other extensive loan Works. This Paint is admirably adapted for preventing the decay of old stone or brick Mansions, Churches. or other Public Edifices requiring an effectual defence against the elements. It is particularly recommended to West India and other Co lonial Proprietors, Emigrants, and all persons connected with the Colonies, w ho will find it to of the stand all climatAnti-es better than to an y other Paint. The superiority Corrosion any other Paint may be easily inferred from the simple fact that its use ha s been always most strenuously opposed by Colour Manufacturers and others interested in the sale of Common Paint. Noblemen and Landed Proprietors, anxious to have their Outbuildings, &c., properly preserved, will effect a very con siderable saving by desiring their Stewards to order the Anti- Corrosion Paint, as any labourer can lay it on, thereby saving the enormous charges generally made by ptiinters. The Anti-Corrosion is a p owder, and it will keep any length of time.

IN commenting last week on the Merchant Shipping Bill, now before Parliament, we omitted any allusion to a subject of peculiar interest to the future welfare of our merchant navy. It may have been thought a hardship to render the taking of apprentices to the merchant service compulsory, but when the absence of compulsion results in almost putting a stop to apprenticeship, the neces sity for its revival becomes apparent. Many ship owners have found that, after having undergone the expense and trouble of training boys, they had deserted at the very time when they have become of any value, and in self-defence have refused to take them at all ; so that the merchant service has become comparatively valueless as a nursery for seamen. If, however, the compulsory system were restored, and every ship were bound to take a por tion of apprenticed boys, the temptation to desert would 'be considerably lessened, and we might reckon on a supply for the future, which the exten sion of commerce will render indispensable. Sailors are not like soldiers, the result of a few months' training, but to be really efficient must be brought up from youth—must, indeed, serve an apprentice ship, which can only be efficacious when earned out generally, for the voluntary system has been mani festly a failure. In legislating, therefore, for the shipping interest under the comprehensive measure known as the Merchant Shipping Bill, the question of apprentices ought to form a part ; and 'we have no doubt that if direct reference were made to ship owners, who are the parties more directly concerned, the majority of them would concur in the advisa bility of restoring in some form the compulsory system. It must be remembered that the interests involved - in this queStion are not solely those of the merchant service. The time may not be - very far distant when a further demand may be made for manning the navy, in order to meet the exigencies of war carried on upon a large scale on the-northern and southern extremities of the Russian empire. We have no right to count upon so short -a list of killed and wounded as that which followed the bombardment of Odessa, in future attacks upon the strongholds of the CZAR ; and should any reverse occur, so that the renewal or augmentation of a fleet should become indispensable, it would then be necessary to rely upon the merchant navy for sea men; and this would be of little avail, unless pro Vision be made, by instantly recruiting the merchant service with apprentices, which can only be done by resorting to the compulsory system. It is a subject of too much importance to be passed over. If England is to maintain her supremacy on the ocean, it can only be by paying strict attention to the material of her naval service, by proviffing beforehand for our future defenders, in a succession of youth trained by early habits to the services required of them ; and if this be done as it ought to be done, the rapid extension of'British commerce will be rendering the merchant service by far the best nursery for the royal nay. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. by the fourth clause, the judges may make such rules and orders as may be necessary to carry the law into operation. To every measure will be found objectors—some on the ground that it goes too far, and others because it does not go far enough; but as changes the most gradual are generally the most efficacious, it is to be hoped that this bill will at least have a fair trial. RAILWAY PROPERTY: THE weekly returns of the amounts received for traffic on the several lines of railway show so large an increase on those of any previous year, notwith standing the absence of any particular exciting cause, that it' s time attention was more particu larly called to this species of investment as one entitled to more favour than, judging by the value of railway shares in the market, it appears to receive. It is of no mean importance, for the whole amount of capital embarked has been com puted to be not less than £300,000,0001 so that railway property has assumed the position of a national institution, possessing, indeed, a claim to rivalry with the National Debt, which it exceeds in the gross annual returns. If we were to search for the causes of the neglect which it has expe rienced, it will, no doubt, be found in the mis management of directors, and the unseemly con tests which have taken place, involving share holders in great expense without any adequate return, and totally disregarding the interests or convenience of the public, for which railways received the peculiar powers and privileges granted by the legislature. These causes, however, no longer operate ; the evils complained of have ceased to exist, for experience has been dearly bought, and the funds which were so liberally applied to fight the battle of the gauges are now no longer obtainable. Still there is a want of unity for mutual advantage instead of ruinous competition, and a co-operation in the running of trains, in order that the convenience of travellers may be consulted, is also much needed. This object Mr." CARDWELL has endeavoured to accom plish in a bill which is now before parliament, and though its operation can be to only a partial extent, it is at least entitled to credit for being a step in the right direction. It is in its present form a material alteration of the bill which was at first proposed ; but it may be stated that it has been modified with the concurrence of the repre sentatives of the principal lines of railway ; and as it should not be forgotten that there are two great interests at stake—those of the travelling public, and those of the large body of shareholders who have so much capital invested—it is but justice that any arrangement should be in the m anner of of a compromise. By the second clause of the bill, every railway and canal company shall afford all reasonable facilities for the receiving, forward ing, and delivering of traffic without any undue or unreasonable preference to any particular com pany or person ; by the third clause, any grievance may be complained of to the courts of law, which shall have authority to adjudicate in the matter, and impose penalties for violation of tae rules ; and UNIVERSITY REFORM. THE proposition of a bill before Parliament, for what is called a reform of the University of Oxford, preparatory to a similar measure with reference to Cambridge University, has led to a demand, on the part of the Dissenters, for an admission to the ad vantages afforded at these time-honoured seats of learning, upon the assumption that they are na tional institutions, . and ought, in consequence, to be open to all. The Church of England is a national institution, and only in the same sense can the Universities be said to belong to the nation. All the colleges were founded, endowed, and supported by Churchmen, strictly for Church purposes, as seminaries for learning and training schools for the clergy. Till within a few years past, no candidate for Holy Orders was admitted unless he had obtained a college degree, and though this rule has been partially relaxed, the exceptions are but rare. In every respect the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge essentially belong to the Church : the nation, as a nation, has contributed nothing to their resources nor means of usefulness, and, therefore, to throw them open, as it is termed, to all students, without distinction of creed, would be to undo and frustrate the very object for which they were especially established. We shall not enter into any discussion on the various points which have been raised during the progress of the bill through Parliament, with re ference to the mode of government in the university, but there is one point of especial importance to which attention has been directed by an able writer on the subject in Blacicwood's Nagazine for this month. It is proposed by this bill to take away the heritage of the poor, and Oxford is to be no more what she has been for five hundred years, " the almshouse of noble poverty." By the words in the bill it is declared,— " No preference shall, after the passing of this act, be accorded to any candidate by reason of birthplace, kinship, education at any school, or indigence, over any other person of superior fitness in character and attaiments." Upon this the writer observes,— • "Let the people of England look to it. If their old adage be true, that learning is better than house and land,' a heritage is passing from them. The nation has a claim to the national Universities,' it is said. If it mean anything, it means this—that rank, and wealth, and worldly possessions, are not to hold them, to the exclusion of the poor seeker after knowledge. Will they believe us, if we tell them, that the great and good men who in other days built and endowed these colleges, said more than this ; they said the poor alone should hold the seats of honour there, if they could prove that they were led by the love of learning to enter in and take possession. The sons of the rich and noble might resort there for educa tion ; but their fellowships.and their scholarships, endowed by their bounty, were fo r the p oor for ever. * * The public is not awake to the fact, and needs to have the wrong set very plainly before them in order to appreciate * * There is many an honest Radical, hating a parson or a lord, who, ne doubt, chuckles over reform in any shape, but especially reform of the Universities — they being, as it were, hot-beds for raising parsons, and lords, and such like. He regards this bill as a little step in the way which we are to go,—not much, but s omething,—`the beginning of the end,' as the Examiner has it. He thinks it is to throw open' the good things to his chil dren, which the higher classes have hitherto been giving away quietly among each other. Never was a more com plete delusion. Who will be the fortunate claimants for these `open' scholarships, which are to be wrested from country grammar schools to which the middle classes re sort ? It will be, in nine cases out of ten, boys from the head forms of Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Westminster—the sons of parents who can afford to spend 'one or two hun dred per annum upon their education—who have had ad vantages of every kind, which the poor curate's or the country tradesman's son can never hope for—who should need no such incentives to study, as they need no such help in its pursuit. Are these the classes for which foun ders bequeathed their wealth? Hear the good William of Wykeham, one of the most magnificent of Oxford belie factors—whose too princely foundatious ,are, as it would appear, never to he allowed to do the-.noble and pious work For which he intended them. ' I will have,' says he, not those already learned, skilled in letters, wealthy, accomplished in arts.' His gifts were wisdom to those who sought after wisdom, and help to those who needed help to seek it." Enough has been said - to show that these pre tended friends of the 'people would perpetuate the exclusiveness which 'has led to a popular demand for a reform of the 'Universities, instead of restoring the endowments to their legitimate objects, which the writer whom we have quoted has demonstrated to be the education of those whose chief claim to the bounty is their worldly poverty. BURIAL CLUBS. THE attempt to put a stop to systematic infan ticide by means of burial clubs, through a clause in the Friendly Societies Bill, has received a sudden check, owing to that measure having been referred to a select committee, which is usually the grave Of legislation. So strong, however, is the feeling of the necessity of some stringent law on the sub ject, that the HOME SECRETARY has declared his intention of bringing in a bill for this especial object, in order that such a disgrace • to religion and to humanity may no longer be permitted to exist. It is no wholesale charge against the morality of the working classes, but the horrible fact has been. abundantly proved, that parents'have made a profit of the mortality of their offspring by insuring their lives in several clubs, under the pretence of securing the means for their interment. With such tempta tions before them, and motives so plainly apparent, it is not surprising that' the frequent deaths of children so insured should engender suspicions as to the cause of their decease; and therefore the removal of such temptations becomes a question of obvious importance. The remedy is simple, and, whether the suspicion be true or false, can prove no injustice. All that is required is to render insurance of infant life in more than one burial club illegal, and in that particular case to impose the necessity of paying the amount of insurance into the hands of the undertaker who has actually performed the funeral, so that the parents would have the expenses of interment secured, and, not being allowed to touch any of the money, would be spared the temptation which, it is feared, proves too often too strong for them. Such a bill would be simple in its enactments, and as it is hardly likely to experience any serious oppdsition, might very soon be passed through Parliament. THE NEW CHURCH OF ST. PA UL, TRANMERE. Tns foundation-stone of St. Paul's Church, Tranrnere, is to be laid this day, at three o'clock, on a site peculiarly eligible for the locality, being an imperial acre of valuable building land, for church and parsonage, at the corner of Limekiln-lane and the old Chester-road, liberally presented by Major GREED, the lord of the manor; in addition to which Jourr Oman, Esq., has given the noble endowment of £3,000, so that there is a fair prospect of the fulfilment of wish of the promoters to have not only a church which will be an ornament to the neighbourhood, but " a poor man's church," at Limekiln-lane. The-church is to be cruciform in plan, seated for 700 worshippers, consisting of nave 76 by 37 feet, and 48 feet high, with north porch ; also north and south transepts, 27 feet wide anlo9 feet from north to south ; a chancel, 30 feet deep by 21 feet 9 inches wide, with a well-proportioned steeple,l4 o feet high, in the north-east angle of the _transept and chancel ; a vestry on the south side • of the chancel. The arrange ments are somewhat different from those usually adopted, in consequence of the principal approach to the church being from the• north and east. The style of the archi tecture is known as middle pointed Gothic, to be built with red freestone. The carpenter and joiner's works a re to be executed with fine Baltic timber, varnished the n atural colour of the wood. Galleries are not to be erected at present, but may subsequently be introduced in the tran septs. Messrs. Routledge and Hogarth have contracted for the execution of the works, and Messrs. J. W. and J. Hay are the architects. We find that in 1631 the popu lation of the tOWnshi9 was 1,168, which in 1861 had increased to 8,519, without any addition to the church accommodation, though for many years it has only been afforded to about one in ten of the inhabitants. Tranmere may fairly be considered a suburb of Liverpool, but with this disadvantage, that as few or none of the " merchant princes" reside there, its claim is not recognised, inasmuch as it is upon the wrong side of the stream through which Liverpool derives its wealth ; it has, therefore, been no short or easy task to raise the sum of £2,000 at present available, leaving still a deficiency of £1,250 to pay up the work contracted for. It is, however, to be hoped that the good work now so happily commenced will not be sus pended for want of funds—a stronger case, it is believed, could hardly be submitted to the public; and we trust that the friends of the Church will come cheerfully for ward on this occasion, to aid the indefatigable exertions of the gentlemen responsible for and engaged in this laudable undertaking. DR. HIBBERT TAYLOR'S CASE. SINCERELY do we congratulate the committee and friends of the Eye and Ear Infirmary, Dr. TAYLOR, and the public generally, on the issue of the investigation into this vexed question. If there be one class of institutions which more than another demands unanimity of counsel, har mony of feeling, and perfect confidence in the integrity and purity of motive evinced bY those intrusted with their administration, our public medical charities are of that class. To have witnessed such a disruption of that har mony as has lately existed in regard to the case above named, was therefore painful in an eminent degree; and the public will now learn, with satisfaction, that every ground on. which even suspicion was founded has been examined, and declared void, on the highest medical authority. That all parties will now work harmoniously together for the public benefit, must be the ardent wish of every rightly-constituted mind, and will, no doubt, be acted on by the benevolent and charitable contributors to this valuable institution. NEW CHURCH - AT THE NORTH END OF LIVERPOOL. WE are glad to learn that upwards of £3,000 has already been contributed towards the proposed church of St. Aidan's, in Liverpool ; but as a considerable further sum is necessary for building and adequately endowing it, the attention of our readers is invited to the appeal con veyed in the circular subjoined : " Having received the following petition, sinned by the names of 830 inhabitants of St. Aidan's District, with their places of abode annexed, and also a letter from the Secretaries of the St. Aidan's District Committee, I beg to forward you a copy of them both, and earnestly to urge the necessity of complying with that prayer. The District is rapidly filling with operatives. The Rev. R. Dandy, the clergyman who is working in it, estimates its present population at about 7,000 souls ; and I am informed by Mr. Maclver, that when the whole establishment of the Cunard steamers is moved into it, there will be an addition of many thousands more. When I add that there is no church and no school for the Protestant popu lation, I trust that I need say no more to engage your sympathy. "Requesting au answer as soon as possible, I remain, your obedient servant, AUGUSTUS CAMPBELL, Rector." PETITION. " We the undersigned, inhabitants and operatives of St. Aidan's District, respectfully petition our wealthy friends in the Town of Liverpool to assist in providing the means for public worship and religious instruction, by helping Rector Campbell to build a Church and Parsonage House on land given to him for that purpose by John Shaw Leigh, Esq., that we may thus have a suitable place of worship, and also a resident minister placed amongst us, who will attend to the spiritual wants of the numerous and rapidly increasing population of our district. "We have ourselves contributed and collected nearly £206; and we further pledge ourselves to aid the Rector, according to our ability, in his laudable design. " We therefore humbly and earnestly hope the merchants and gentlemen of Liverpool will not see the means of grace wanting in a district formed partly from the sea shore, which now contains seven or eight docks, and a resident population of nearly 7,000 souls. And we shall ever pray, &e., &c., &c." LETTER, "24, Regent-road, Liverpool, 24th April, 1854. " Reverend Sir,—We have been requested by the lay members of St. Aidan's District Committee, at a meeting held on the evening of the 21st instant, to offer you their most grateful thanks for the kind feeling you have ex hibited towards their spiritual wants, and also for your exertions in endeavouring to get a church built in this rapidly-increasing neighbourhood. We do sincerely trust that ere long your labours will be crowned with success, and that you may very shortly be enabled to commence with the proposed new church, as the room at present used as a temporary place of wor ship and Sunday school, is nothing like adequate to the wants of the district and our numerous congregation. " We are also desired to express the pleasure we have in bearing testimony to the ministerial exertions of the Rev. R. Dandy, since his appointment in this quarter ; also, to his untiring zeal and devotion to his duties, attention to the wants of sick and poor, the advancement of our religious and moral welfare, and the propagation of the Christian truth.—We are, Rev. Sir, yours most re spectfully, CHARLES FORBES, Secretary. "W. H. MAITLAYD, Treasurer. " To the Rev. Rector Cambell." • APPEAL AGAINST, AND REVERSAL OF A MAGISTRATE'S DECISION. —On Friday, after the criminal business of the borough sessions had been disposed of, Mr. John Ellis, licensed victualler, of Hornby-street, Limekiln-lane, ap pealed against a conviction against him before R. E. Harvey, Esq., on the 28th of April, for selling spirits on aSunday forenoon during the hours of divine service.— From the statement of the case, as made against the appel lant when the investigation took place before the borough magistrates, it appeared that, on the Sunday morning when the alleged offence was committed, a woman was seen by two of the police force coming out of the appellant s house, and on searching her they found in her pocket a ginger-beer bottle containing whiskey. When before the magistrates, the appellant desired to have the case ad journed, in order to give him an opportunity of bringing forward additional evidence, but the magistrate being of opinion at the time that no additional evidence to alter the facts could be produced, refused to adjourn the case, and imposed a fine of forty shillings. The evidence of the woman on whom the whiskey was found having been tendered, his honour decided on receiving it, and she de posed that she purchased the whiskey at another esta blishment, and not from the appellant at all. The Recorder, in giving judgment, said that the magistrate bad decided correctly on the evidence then before him, but from the additional evidence now produced, he felt bound to reverse the decision. The conviction was therefore quashed. 11.EALTII COMMITTEE. — On Thursday, Mr. Langsdale presided at the meeting of the Health Committee. Messrs. Beckwith, Moss, Gladstone, Tomlinson, Robinson, God frey, and Hendersou were present. In answer to ques tions, Mr. Moss was informed that the basis upon which the rates were collected was, according to law, the assess ment of the preceding year. The medical officer reported that in the week ending the preceding Saturday the deaths registered in Liverpool were 236, being 12, more than in the previous week, and 21 more than the average of the same week of the preceding six. ears, corrected for increase of population. Nearly one-third of the mortality was caused by diseases of the zymotic class, from which there were 77 deaths, including from measles 33, diarrhoea 14, (10 children and 4 old people), typhus 11, hooping-cough 6, cholera 3, scarlatina and small-pox 1. The deaths from diarrhtea were double the average of the corresponding week of former years. The mortality from diseases of the lungs and consumption continues rather higher than the average, having been last week 72. The temperature was below the average, excepting on Saturday. The mean of the week was 52 degrees, while the average of the same week of the preceding eight years was 53 1-10th. The atmosphere was unusually damp, the difference between the dew-point temperature and air temperature having been less than 0 degrees. in place of an average of more than 12.1 degrees. Rain fell on Sunday, Monday, and Thursday, to the extent in all of 13-lOoths of an inch. Mr. Moss called attention to the condition of Vauxhall road, and was informed that it was being remedied as speedily as possible. It was announced that the parish had refused to unite with the health committee and the West Derby hoard of guardians in regard to the approach of cholera. Mr. Magowan, the clerk, read a letter from the town-clerk, in which Mr. Shuttleworth called attention to two bills, now in parliament—one to enable boards of guardians to appoint inspectors of nuisances ; the other, the nuisance removal and disease prevention bill, as amended in committee of the lords. Mr. Shuttleworth pointed out several clauses which affected the health com mittee, and upon which he should be glad to receive some opinion from them. ACCIDENT TO TITE MAIL STEAMER ARCTIC.—The United States Mail Steam ship Arctic, Captain Luce Com mander, which sailed from Liverpool on 'Wednesday after noon on her voyge for New York, met with an accident the same evening in steaming down the Irish Channel While going at full speed, and, as was believed, in her ordinary course, she struck upon a sunken rock, marked in the charts as the Black Rock, midway between the Tuskar and the Saltees Islands. The captain was losing sight of Tuskar when the accident happened, which in duced him to believe that all danger was passed; but it is co njectured that the Channel currents acting on the ves sel to a greater degree than was calculated upon by those on board, had induced a deviation. , It was first deter mined to proceed, but finding that she was making water, she was put back. As soon as time accident was made known, by means of the telegraph, at Liverpool, the steam-tug Dreadnought was dis patched to render every necessary assistance. The vessels met of Point Lynes, and kept company until near the bar, where the Arctic remained for want of water to enable her to cross. About twenty of her passengers came on with the tug-boat; and were landed at time stage about one o'clock. The rest remained on board the Arctic, having every confidence in the vessel, and reached the river about two hours afterwards. The Arctic went into dock on Saturday, but, owing to the low tides, could not be laid on the graving -blocks, and the extent of the injury ascertained. It is hoped that the damage is only slight, and that the detention will not extend beyond a week or ten days ; but practical men fear, from the nature of the accident, that the vessel will require a new keel, or at any rate, a new forefoot. The mails were taken out by the steamer Asia, which started for New York on SatnrdaT. Messrs. Brown, Shipley, and Co., the agents for the Collms' line, promptly returned the passage-money of those who desired to go out in the Asia; but most of the passengers resolved to stay until the Arctic is ready to take them. Her machinery is uninjured, and she is expected to be got into the Fraying. dock this cla/ (Tuesday. MUSIC AND THE DRAMA PuflarAßNioxic CONCERT. -The fourth subscription concert of the season takes place this evening, at which Madame Sedlatzek and Signor Belletti will make their appearance. The programme is an attractive one. SOCIETA ARMONICA.—The eighteenth dress concert of this society takes place at the Mechanics' Institution on Saturday evening. The programme contains selections from the works of Haydn, Spohr, Donizetti, Rossini, &c. The solo vocalist is Mrs. G. Holden. THE THEATRE-ROYAL re-opened last night for a brief season, with Poole's comedy of Paul Pry," the character of Paul Pry being sustained by Mr. Wright in a manner worthy of Ins reputation. His performance was at once easy and natural ; it was pointed and telling, without . effort, and amusing, as well as grotesque, without vul garity. The part of Phoebe was moderately well enacted by Mrs. Power ; and Mrs. Walton, as Mrs. Subtle, was respectable and effective. The comedy was followed by a ballet-divertissement, in which Miss Rosina Wright ap peared to much advantage. "My Precious Betsy" con cluded the performances. The house, though well filled, was hardly equal to the merits of the comedian and the rest of the company. We perceive Mr. Wright's engage ment extends over the present week, and we hope his talents will be honoured by fitting audiences. AT THE ROYALAMPIIITHEATRE, the revival of Dibdrh's nautical spectacle of " The English Fleet in 1354," has been successful in drawing respectable houses. The piece is not possessed of much merit, but is instrumental in reviving some of the fine old nautical ballads and melodies by which Dibdin stimulated the national enthusiasm of our grand fathers. The burden of the acting rests on the shoulders of Mr. Honey,' who, as a drunken, daring, half sentimental boatswain, is supposed to illustrate the naval character of British seamen. The drama closes with a rather effective tableau of the English fleet'as it appeFed at the date in which the scene is laid. POLICE COURT.-1 ESTERDAY. UNLAWrULLY PURCHASING LEAD. —Elizabeth Peatley I described as a marine store-dealer, was charged by detec- tive officer Murphy with hading in her possession li cwt. ' of lead which she could not give any account of, nor had slip entered it in the book of purchases, which, according to the borough act, she ought to have done: She did not ' deny the offence, and was ordered to pay a fine of 10s. ' or to be imprisoned seven days. She was also cautioned to be more careful in future as to her transactions. PICKING POCKETS.—James Riley and Bridget Riley were charged with picking the pocket of a woman of 31d. on Saturday night, in St. James's Market: The prisoners were remanded till to-day. CHARGE OF ROBBING AN EMPLOYER.—Isaac Whit more, a middle-aged married man, was charged by Mr. James, druggist, 111, Dale-street, with abstracting money from the till, and also with taking various articles out of the shop. The prosecutor stated that, in consequence of missing small sums of money and trifling quantities of goods, he was led to entertain suspicion of the prisoner, who was his assistant. To ascertain whether his suspi cion were well founded or not, he marked two shillings and a sixpence, which he gave to a friend (a female) who ' went to the shop on Saturday, and purchased a bottle of castor-oil, iu payment of which she gave the prisoner the marked money. The prosecutor immediately afterwards entered the shop, and despatching the prisoner to do something in the yard, proceeded to the till, on examining which he found the marked sixpence was not there. He then charged the prisoner with having abstracted it, but be denied all knowledge of the circumstance, or the money. He was given into custody, and, before being removed, requested leave to change his coat, to do which he was permitted to go into an adjoining apartment, where he put on his other coat, and then accompanied the police-constable and prosecutor to the station, where he was searched, but no trace of the marked sixpence was found on him. Detective-officer Sullivan then accompa nied the prosecutor to his shop, and in a parcel containing salts, placed in the room where the prisoner had changed his coat, the marked sixpence was found. The prosecutor said he was sure no one had had access to the place from the time the prisoner left it, as he had locked up the premises when they went away. In his defence, the prisoner said that he was entirely ignorant of how the sixpence got into the salts, as he was certain he did not place it there. He further said that he had got a shilling on the day in ques tion from a gentleman whom he named, to whose premises he had been sent on a message, that he got a glass of ale with the shilling on his way back, receiving in change ten-pence in copper. That he took sixpence in silver out of Mr. James' drawer, depositing sixpence in copper in its place and putting the sixpence in his pocket. He added that he was surprised the sixpence was not found on him when he was searched, and concluded that he must have lost it out of his pocket. A gentleman who did not give his name, lucre stepped forward, and testified that he had known the prisoner for fifteen or sixteen years, and had always known him to be a respectable and honest indi vidual, although struggling with difficulties. The case was remanded until to morrow. THEFT OF A HANDKERCIIIEF. — Maria Hart, a young woman of dissipated appearance, was sentenced to be im prisoned seven days for stealing a handkerchief from a man named Thomas Bagley. ROBBERY FROM A BOARDING-HOUSE.--A foreign sailor, who gave his name as Gilpin ' was charged with stealing a blue jacket, two pairs of trowsers, and some other articles belonging to another foreign sailor, from a boarding-house in Great Mersey-street, in which they both lodged. It appeared that the boarding-house keeper was in the habit of keeping his lodgers' clothes in a locked apartment for safety, and that the prisoner, on pretext of getting his own clothes, obtained possession of the key and carried off the elothes of-the prosecutor. The stolen articles not having been found, the prisoner was remanded till to -day. HOUSiBEEAKINO. — SINGULAR CASE.—A young. wo man, named Mary Languin, was charged with having broken into the house of Mrs. Powell, in Great George street, on Saturday night. The prosecutrix stated that between twelve and one o'clock on Sunday morning, she was roused out of her sleep by a noise which she at once felt assured was the Found of some one entering the house. She got up, and on listening, distinctly 'heard some one say " Bloomer" " Bloomer." She then procured a light, and on going into the parlour , found the prisoner, who had evidently entered by breaking a pane of glass in the window, unfastening the shutters, and so getting into the house, after which she had again closed the window and shutters. Mrs. Powell, who keeps a shop, further said that on Saturday night about eleven o'clock, while counting over the money she had drawn during the day, some one called through the shop window, "So you're counting your money, are you ?" And from the various circumstances connected with the finding of the prisoner on the premises, Mrs. Powell had no doubt Languin had accomplices. In answer to the charge, the prisoner. who lives next door to Mrs. Powell, as a servant, stated that on Saturday night she was out late to bring home a dress she was getting made, and that on reaching the corner of the street a man attacked leer, knocked het down, stole her new dress, very much ill-used her, and finally threw her in at the window of the prosecutrix's house. That she was so stunned and confused by the ill-usage she had received, that she did not know- where she was, and in the belief that she was at home, closed the window shutters and called out " Bloomer" " Bloomer," that being the name of her master's daughter, to whom she intendel to communicate a statement of her ill-usage and her los ;. The case was remanded till to-day to allow time for fur ther inquiry. ROBBERY OF A SWEDISH SAILOR.—Jane Robertson and Ann Ryan were charged with robbing a Swedish sailor, named Jaus Wilson, on Sunday night. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor that the younger prisoner inveigled him into Chbenhale-street, and took him to the house of the other prisoner, where he had some' drink, which, from its effects ou him, had obviously been drugged. While reduced to a state of insensibility by swallowing this potion, they robbed him of sixty dollar pieces and three gold pieces, along with his watch. No part of the property had been found. The prisOners were remanded for a week, to allow of an endeavour to trace the property. OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT. James Davies, a police constable, was charged with an aggravated assault on a young woman in Paradise-street, on Sunday night, a little after twelve o'clock. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was off duty at the time of the assault, and was seen running along the street, pursued by a man who had been in company with the prosecutrix. The man was calling " police,' , and, on au officer coming up, the prisoner was charged with knocking down the female, and severely injuring her about the head. She stated that the prisoner without any provocation knocked her down, and, in falling, she sustained a severe wound on the head, from the effects of which she lost much blood, and was rendered very ill. The assault was clearly proved, and the prisoner was ordered to pay a fine of .1.:5, or to suffer one month's im prisonment with hard labour, and to be dismissed the force. MUTINY ON BOARD AN EMIGRANT fearful tragedy occurred in the course of Thursday, on board an emigrant vessel in the Bristol Channel, called the African, an American vessel. About six or seven miles below the Flat Holmes, between Barry Island and Sully, all hands were piped on deck for the purpose of enrolling their names ou the ship's books in the usual manner. The men came together, but had scarcely assembled before a party of five of them turned out from amongst the others, declaring that they would not proceed in the ship, as the captain had got a lot of boys to do men's work, and that all the labour of working the ship would fall on them, as the only able seamen on board. The mate, Mr. Davies, a native of America, remonstrated with them, and asked them why they had not made the objection earlier and before the vessel left dock. The men replied that they had seen by the bearing of the hands during the short distance they had come, that the boys were unequal to the work of the ship, and upon being further remonstrated with, they ad dressed themselves to the emigrants, and advised them not to go in a ship in which their lives would be in peril, as there, were not sufficient men to work her safely. Upon this, Mr. Parfitt, jun., the pilot, ordered the steam-tug to turn round and heave alongside the ship, in order that the five refractory seamen who refused to discharge their duty might be taken ashore, and confined ; but the pilot was told to mind his own business, and one of the crew brandished a knife, and told him if he was not quiet to take the consequences. A gentleman named Spritt, who was on board for the purpose of taking leave of a friend, spoke to one of the men, reminding him that the captain was a kind-hearted man and a good seaman, and one who would not be likely in any way to peril the safety of the ship and lives committed to his charge, and Mr. Spritt so far won upon the man that he began to attend to his duties. This appeared to give great dissatisfaction to the others, who began to murmur and to upbraid the man, calling him a coward, and taunting him with having shown the white feather. In the mean time the tug-boat had come alongside, but had no sooner come within reach of the ship than two of the seamen jumped on to the paddle-box. The master, however, peremptorily ordered them off, and drove them back to the African s deck. Shortly after this, a loud noise was heard between these two men and the mate, near the caboose, and blows were exchanged. The mate was then seen to recede, draw a pistol, and fire it in the man's face, at the same time kicking him in the stomach. The pistol ball produced deadly effect, and the man fell against the caboose, and was carried by order of th e ca pt a i n into thal, place, ere he died in a few minutes afterwards. It is stated that superintendent StoCkdale, of .the Cardiff hoarded the ship and arrested several o have been concerned in the affray. a th rd el r iarries hee, Bald h to " re Mu. W. 0. RoNvE, of Liverpool, has passed his examina tion before the Royal College of Surgeons. VERY SUDDEN DEA rrr.—A man, named Harry Cola born, aged 61, who has been a wheelwright, but who has been out of business some time, while passing along Scot land-road, yesterday afternoon, suddenly dropped down, and almost immediately expired. SUDDEN DEATH.—A woman, named Ann Brannigan, residing in a court in Disley-street, was found dead in bed, yesterday, about twelve o'clock, by a girl named Mary Ann Hughes. Brannigan had been drinking in a public house in the course of the morning. SATURDAY being the Queen's birthday, the royal stan dard was hoisted on the Town-hall, and the national flag on the other public buildings and many private houses in the town. The pensioners were assembled, and fired several salutes, and the day was observed as a Custom house holyday. Tim PLEAID. African exploring steamer, built by Mr. John Laird, tool her departure hence on Wednesday, for Dublin, whence she would proceed direct for Fernando Po, to enter upon the expedition up the rivers Niger and Tchadda. SzangiNG.—On Saturday afternoon one of the newly disbanded Militiamen was quarrelling with a butcher boy, in Everton village, when the latter drew his dressing knife from the leathern pouch at hi s b ac k, an d s t a bb e d hi s anta gonist in the cheek. He then made his escape, and. we believe, has not yet been apprehended. The Militiaman was not seriously hurt. _ INFANTICIDE.—A verdict of "wilful murder against some person or persons at present unknown" was returned on Saturday, at an inquest on the body of a newly-born male child, which had been found dead the same morning, in an ashpit adjoining No. 11 Court, Upper Frederick street. A post tnortem examination proved that the child had been born alive and was suffocated. Ma. M ARCMS'S CurA.p Tarps.—Mr. Marcus, to whom the public of Liverpool and other places have been so much indebted for cheap and pleasant tours, has commenced to organise his annual excursions for the present year. The first trip to London and elsewhere leaves here on the 3d and sth of June. The success which has attended the pleasure trips, conducted by this gentleman, affords the best guarantee for the careful management of those now announced. THE L ATE MR. A. C. BuLT EEL. - -' A correspondent writes: —Died, on the 17th inst., at his residence, Huskisson-street, aged 47 years, Andrew Hume 'kilted, Esq., landing sur veyor of H. M. Customs at this port, sincerely regretted ,by the whole body of officers. His gentlemanly conduct and kindness of heart won for him a lasting memorial that will never be erased from the hearts of the subordinate ' portiou of them ; for, in the hour of need, they looked up to him as a father and a friend. In the language of the inspired Psalmist, it may truly be inscribed on his tomb— . " The sweet remembrances of the just shall flourish when he sleeps in dust." Tire BAHIA.NA, new screw-steamer, Captain Green, built for the South American and General Steam Naviga tion Company by Mr. John Laird, went out on a trial-trip on Saturday ; but the screw becoming fixed soon after she had been a short time under way, owing, it is supposed, to some loose pieces of metal getting between the machi nery, she was compelled to return. She will be placed on the gridiron this week for examination, and will be re placed by the Lusitania, for E 1..% &c., on the Ist June. THE ASIA, British and North American Mail steamer, Captain Lott, took her departure hence for New York on Saturday, having on board 166 passengers, a large cargo, and a double mail; for, iu addition to her own, she carries the mail of the Arctic, which put back on Thurs day, owing to the accident she met with in the Irish Channel. Among the passengers were Lord Bury, who is going to the United States on a pleasure trip, and Mr. Jevers, who proceeds to Washington as the plenipoten tiary of the Danish government.. FATAL CASE OF STONE THROWING.—An affecting instance of the danger and frequent fatality of this repre hensible practice has just occurred in the southern district of the town. It appears that, some days ago, two boys had a trifling quarrel about obtaining re-possession of a ball, which had been accidentally thrown ont of reach ; the younger, refusing to go for it, and being soon after callel into his residence, went away. Some days after wards, he met his antagonist, who threw a stone at him, which unfortunately struck him on the head with such force as to knock him down. He was carried to the Infir mary, where the wound was dressed, and he was taken home. He did not recover however, but lingered in much pain till yesterday morning, when death put a period to his sufferings. THE CITT OF GLASGOW STEAMER.--On Thursday last a rumour was published in Liverpool, to the effect that a letter had been received by a gentleman in the neighbour hood of Londonderry, from a person named Smilie, pur porting to be a passenger by the missing steam-ship City of Glasgow, and intimating that the vessel had been wrecked, but that the passengers and crew had been saved and landed on the west coast of Africa, from which place it was pretended the letter had been written. The rumour received a semblance of probability, from the circumstance that a gentleman named Smylie was a passenger by the ship. The owners, Messrs. Richardson Brothers, imme diately made the requisite inquiry, and ascertained that there was no foundation whatever for the rumour. ABOLITION OF CIIURCII-RATES.—A meeting to peti tion Parliament for the total abolition of church-rates was held at the Concert-hall, on Tuesday evening, Mr. Eyre Evans in the chair. The meeting was addressed by Mr. A. C. Stewart., the Rev. Mr. Joseph, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Urquhart, Mr. C. A. Rawlins. jun., and the Rev. Mr. I3onner. Various resolutions were adopted, which de scribed all compulsory taxation for religious purposes as unjust in principle, oppressive to conscience, and positively injurious to the object for which it was professedly exacted, and that no legislation on the subject would be satisfac tory which did riot provide for their abolition. A peti tion to parliament, founded on the resolution, was also adopted. Sue.nny ROGUERY.—At the Police court, on Saturday, James Cowan was charged with travelling from Preston to Liverpool, on the East Lancashire Railway, without having paid his fare. It appeared that the prisoner got into the train at Preston without having paid his fare, or having a farthing in his pocket, leaving the result of the journey to accident. At Ruflbrd a female who had taken a ticket to that station, requested the prisoner, with whom she had been conversing, to obtain for her another ticket to Liverpool, after hearing him say that he was about to procure one for himself. He took her ticket, and a shil ling to purchase the ticket for the forward journey, but she did not see him again until, on arriving at Liverpco', she explained the circumstances to the collector, who suc ceeded in finding. the delinquent and in his possession the lady's ticket to Ruflbrd, and the one he had obtained to bring him forward. He had no other tickets, nor had he any money in his pos.:ssession. He was convicted in a penalty of 10s., or, in default, to be committed for ten days. FALse Imparsox MENT. —ln the Court of Passage, on Friday, Benjamin Grattan, an officer in the Liverpool police-force, sued Mr. Robert Walker, proprietor of the Mansion-house Hotel, Drury-lane, for damages for false imprisonment. On the night of the 27th of February the defendant discovered a comrade of the plaintiff receiving oysters from his (defendant's) servant girl, who was hand ing them to him from the kitchen-window while the plain tiff stood by. He immediately ordered plaintiff to take his comrade into custody, but he declined to do so, where upon Mr. Walker gave them both in charge; but when taken before the magistrates the following day, the case, as against Grattan, was dismissed as frivolous and vexa tious. The jury gave a verdict fort he plaintiff, damages £5. TILE LIVERPOOL BREWERS having increased the price of all ales, to the publicans, 4s. per barrel, a deputation from the licensed victuallers waited upon the brewers, to represent the burden which this increase would entail upon them, as they would be unable to make an additional charge to the consumer. They suggested that, instead of increasing the price, the brewers should reduce the quality of the article. We are informed that, at a subsequent meeting of the brewers, it was resolved that the increased price should be 25., instead of 4s. per barrel ; so that the increased price of malt, owing to the augmentation of the duty, will fall equally upon the brewer and the retailer. We understand that Mr. Threlfall dissented from the ori ginal resolution of the brewers, and requested that his customers would meet him, and confer upon the subject. In accordance with this invitation, about 200 of his cus tomers met Mr. Threlfall on Friday, and, after some dis cussion relative to the course proper to be adopted, it was arranged that Mr. Threlfall should raise the price of his ales in the following proportions, viz., the fourpeny ale 25., the sixpenny ale 35., and the eightpenny ale 4s. per barrel. WAR OPERATIONS IN LIVERPOOL.-011 Saturday morn ing a detachment of the Ist Royal Dragooons, consisting of about 120 men and a similar number of horses, arrived in Liverpool from Manchester, rid Prescot,..x . d were im mediately embarked on board the transport -ships A r a bia, and itip Van Winkle, in the 11 ellington-dock, for Malta, their ultimate destination being Turkey. They sailed on Sunday. The officers accompanying the detachment, were Major Wardlaw, Captain Campbell, Cornet Hartopp, Ad jutant-Lieutenant 'Webster, Lieutenant Charlton, and Veterinary-surgeon Poett. Another detachment of the same regiment, under the command of Captain Stocks, is expected in Liverpool this day, to embark on board the Coronella ; and the remainder of the regiment will leave as soon as the means of transport are provided. Volunteers continue to be received at this port for the royal navy, H.M. steamer Prometheus being still anchored in the Mersey. On Thursday a party of 22 seamen volunteers was forwarded to London by railway. LAlngcn OF THE TARTAR.—On Wednesday, the second of the two steam frigates built in Mr. Pitcher's dockyard, Northfleet, for the Russian government, but, after being seized by the Customs, purchased by our government, was launched in the presence of a large concourse of spectators. The remarkably fine day, together with the desire to see the "Russian prizes seized in Pitcher's dockyard," no doubt combined to increase to a very considerable degree the crowd beyond that which usually collects to witness a launch from this yard. The ship is a perfect model of a frigate, fitted on the screw principle, and rigged as a sailer. The first of these grin vc. , ,els, intended for the Autocrat of all the Russias, was appropriately named the Cossack. The vessel launched on Wednesday was with eci_uall:7 priety named the Tartar.
