Although opposed to the politics of the Monthly, we have no inclination to undervalue the literary talent en gaged in preparing its several articles for the eye of the public. The best in the present number is " Rome and her Church," in which is embodied' a discburse on that important subject, by the Rev. James Fordyce, D. D., and which, we hope, -be generally read with more than ordinary attention, as it contains-a luminous view of papistry in all its forms.---We transcribe THE EDITOR'S NEW YEAR'S SONG, Great Bacchus, whither art thou now, With music's joy and festal glee ; Burning eyes and laurelled brow ! Bounteous, gladsome, ever free? Where have flaws those attributes, Ennobling still, thou god of wine ? Sounding shells, and thrilling lutes, Resplendent Beauty's eye divine ? And, last of all to be. deplored, The amorous liquid of that vine, Which never sanctifies our board-- The rich, the bright Falernian wine? Yet, yet we know what 'tis to win The love of woman,—and to he The Byroneers of Grwcia's sin-- With hearts that beat right merrily! Give us of the Samian stream ; Shed, oh ! shed the nectar'd tide ! Bright joy shall herald forth life's dream— Let no fresh woe or ill betide. Let thy juice go sparkling round, And each Briton prouder be— While the sprinkled cups around Invite our mirth right merrily ! Brim the wine-cups to our King; -Old England owns no better name! And now, brave countrymen, we'll sing— " Here's to our Queen"—the Royal Dame ! Filled with Lusitania's wine, Again, again, the cup shall be ; While we enshrine this song of mine— Right merrily ! right merrily! MINORS: MR. HUAIE'S COURAGE AND VERACITY PROVED. It is now nearly two years since Mr. Hume wrote his famous (or infamous?) letter to one Mr. Mackenzie, a brother seditionist in Canada ; in which, after express ing his celebrated wish that matters might press on as to induce the Canadians to throw off the baneful domina tion of the mother country," the patriotic member for Middlesex thought proper to assail an individual in terms of the grossest abuse. But with characteristic prudence, he chose one out to attack who he knew could not sum mon him to a personal account. He - thus spoke in his letter of the Reverend Egerton Ryerson, a distinguished preacher and agent of that most respectable body of men, the Wesleyan Methodists, ettled in Canada. He called him a " renegade and apostate from all principles of pub lic and private honour." He appealed to Mr. Macken-' zie, saying, " You witnessed his expressions of thanks to me in public and private, both verbally and in writ ing, for the aid I had given him;" and concluded by, leaving " him to his pious and religious friends in Ca nada to unmask the hypocrite, and throw him, as he de.- serves to be, as an outcast from any honest society." In a debate in the House of Commons subsequently, Mr. Hume further stated, that " Mr. Ryerson, being un able to obtain redress fur some colonial grievance, came to him—that he took and introduced him to Lord Gode rich, and obtained him the redress he sought." Mr. Hume probably calculated that there were some four thousand miles of ocean between him and the man he calumniated, and that he might say , what he pleaSed. But Mr. Ryerson has at length arrived in England, and has replied to Mr. Hume in a way that must make the electors of Middlesex rejoice in the Man whom they de light to honou r . i Mr. Ryerson goes in detail through all the charges. He declares that he never saw Mr. Mackenzie in Mr. Hume's company but once, and then but for a few mi nutes. That, at that tim' he was a perfect stranger to Mr. flume, and therefore could have nothing to thank him for. And after explaining the way in which Mr. Hume left him to shift for himself with Mr. Stanley at the Colonial Office, he thus winds up this portion of his letter : " I never received the least advice or assistance from you. I never asked a favour of you. I never wrote one word before the letter I am now writing, which I think will no t b e rece i ve d b y you as an address of thanks. Again : I had interviews with the Earl of Ripon and Mr. (now Lord) Stanley before I met you at the Colonial office; and was not introduced to them or any other Berson by you. Furthermore, Lord Goderich was not Colonial Secretary when I came to this country in 1833, nor at any time daring my stay." This is_surelv proof enough that somebody must be "a mighty great liar," although Mr. Ryerson leaves it to be inferred; which it is thus "And now, Sir, I demand of you, if you cad produce it, the slightest proof of anyone of your charges against me, much less a justification of your unparelleled abuse. Your whole state ment is without..t.he shadow of truth. I will not apply the epithets to you or your conduct that you have applied to me; nor will I exhort your friends to throw you, as an outcast; from any honest society. The Brittish,public, Sir, are abundantly competent. to apply the proper epithets to your conduct, and to estimate t h e honour of your society." Mr. Ryerson is right in leaving this calumniating man to the British public—the respectable portion of it esti mate him at his proper value. How Mr. Hume's recom mendation to the " pious and religions friends in Ca nada to throw Mr. Ryerson as an outcast," &c, &c, was acted upon by them, appears from the following resolu tion passed by the Wesleyan Methodist Conference as soon as they read the letter to Mr. Mackenzie : "Resolved, that this conference views with feelings of disgust, and cannot but express its unqualified reprobation of, the letter from Joseph Hume, Esq. M.P. addressed to, and published by, W. L. Mackenzie, Esq. ; and of the slanderous attack therein made upon the character of our beloved brother, the Rev. Eger ton Ryerson, in whose integrity and honourable principles we are happy to express our continued confidence." As a set-off to this, Mr. Hume may quote, as he did formerly in the House of Commons, the gratifying reso lutions in his favour passed by the Mayor, Aldermen, and Council of Toronto; but he has now to acid to his quotation. Mr. Mackenzie, his friend, has been ejected from the'Council at a subsequent election ; and by an unanimous vote, the resolutions in favour of Hume have been erased from the Council Books, as being " a libel upon the citizens of Toronto." Mr. Ryerson has not only triumphantly vindicated himself, with a talent and temper highly honourable to him, but he has done good service to the country by exposing the shuffling, lying, and treasonable conduct of those who would separate England and her colonies. Mr. Ryerson shows th a t th e misrepresentations of Hume and his clique have in one year injured Upper Canada to the amount of half a mil lion. Can such a state of things be enchired ? We are indeed glad that this subject has been re-opened—and it shall be our duty not to let Mr. Hume shuffle away.— Are. We find on inquiry that, in defiance of the "strict inhibition" contained in the foregoing extract, a play called " Richard Parker, or the Mutiny at the Nore," has also been acted at the Theatre-Royal; a play, as it gave to that celebrated mutineer the character of a high-minded and ill-used patriot, which it would be difficult to imagine could ever have been licensed, under any circumstances, unless for the express purpose of de stroying instead of upholding " our sacred authority, and the preservation of order and good government." The play we are now Speaking of resembles in some respects Bulwer's novel of " Eugene Aram," which has also been dramatised, as both of these works are calculated to create a false sympathy for the most atrocious criminals by holding up to public admiration a traitor and a murderer as men highly-gifted, and possessing the most popular of all human attributes, heroic bearing coupled with refined manners. " It may perhaps not be amiss to consider for what purpose the patent was originally granted; whether George IV. intended to confer a personal favour upon his grantee merely to enrich that individual ; whether he did not contemplate providing for the inhabitants of Liverpool a series of well-regulated dramatic entertainments; and lastly, whether when he granted the mo nopoly he really intended to lodge in the hands of one man the exclusive right of saying to the public, " you shall enjoy no theatrical amusements but such as I choose to give you, at any price I think proper to charge, when I think proper, or not at all it' it so please me. And further, if from my gracious conde scension I do permit The Jewess' or any other piece to be performed, know ye, that it shall only be performed at such par ticular theatres as I think fit; where, however, I will take especial care that no actor or actresses who have acquired any celebrity or high character in their profession shall appear at all." These, whatever his late Majesty may have intended, are the powers assumed by his patentees, and exercised most unge nerously an 4 invidiously against the managers of the Liver 'Theatre. The state of the regular drama in Liverpool for some years past, would justify the conclusion that the managers . of the Royal Theatre really intended to extinguish it altogether. The company has been miserably deficient in numbers, and, with some few exceptions, equally deficient in talent. Instead of having a winter season, when, from the lenv,th of the nights, a good play is best enjoyed, our Theatre is (in ly opened in the dog days, when most people are glad to escape from "populous cities" and `:the busy hum of men ;" instead 'of having a scale of half-price admissions, which would admit the tradesman and the mechanic, when his daily cares are ended, to a peep before the curtain at a moderate price, we must all pay the full price or stop away; instead of having a company of sufficient strength and talent to excite attention, we have a succession of eccen tric, not fixed stars, at intervals of ten or twelve days, and we' have thus the begging-box sent round every fortnight, profess edly for their benefit, but in reality for that of the managers, who, we understand, sweep one-half of the money raised by this expedient into their coffers. On account of the prevalence of this system, the actors and actresses belonging to the Theatre acquire little or no reputation, because they are always kept in the back ground, or obliged to fill secondary and unimportant parts. When this sketch of the mode in which the Theatre- Royal is managed is taken into consideration, it ceases to be a wonder that the house is very badly attended, and that our stage is in reality the grave instead of being the cradle of thea trical talent. Reverting again to the patent; if the powers assumed under that instrument were not intended to be granted, and further, ii the powers really conferred by it have been abused, common sense, of which we are told common law is the perfection, would seem . to indicate that that deed Is VOIDABLE, and of no more value than what it would sell for to cut up into ribbons for tailor's measures. A patent partakes of something of 'the character of a charter; now, a couch and six is driven almost daily through patents of all sorts, and we have lately seen charters destroyed by hundreds, in cases where no abuse had been proved to exist, and where the destruction of them was unwarrantable, even on the ground that their continuance was inconsistent with pub lic policy. The corporation of the Theatre-Royal will there fore do well to• ponder upon these things; they should bear in mind that w e li ve i n ra ther ticklish limes, an d t h at it may not be sound poli c y i n th e m to apply to their cabl e th e entire power of their proving machine, lest a link or two should snap in the experiment. It is now decided that Belgium is to have (or rather it already has) four Uni.versities, two of which only are supported by the government, namely those of Ghent and Leige. The ancient University of Louvain is suppressed ; but the ma n cristrate s o f that city have made an arrangement uith thearchbishop of m a _ lines, and the other prelates of Belgium, for establishing at Louvain the new Catholic .University, lately founded with the sanction of the. pope.

The fair trader alWays has decided advantages over the fraudulent one. The latter, from the secrecy he necessiated to observe, can never purchase his raw material, nor sea his manufactured article so well as the former; nor, for the same reason can he have recourse equally to the best combinations, and the most'economi cal arrangements in his manufactory. His character and credit too must be in the power of his servants, who thus become his masters. He must give them his confidence; and since those who are systematically engaged in assit ing in the perpetration of a fraud cannot be very scrupu ions, he must pay them for keeping his secret if they do keep it. .

THEATRICAL MATTERS.-THEItiAIOR AND THE The lessees of the Theatre-Royal have it appears commenced a second war against their rivals for public favour, the managers of the Liver Theatre. The cause` of these uneXpected hostili ties is well and briefly explained in a letter, which will be found in another part of our paper under the head of "Dramatic Monepoly." It will he seed, 'frctm - a perusal of that article, that "The Jet4ss,;" a drama "first 'represented on the Parisian boards, ha& ibeen adapted to the English stage by two different translators, or play Wrights, and performed at two London thea- , tres, namely, at Drury -lane with, and at thr. Victoria without a license; that the managers of our major theatre assume that, their patent arms them with authority to permit the unlicensed " Jewess" to be acted nightly at the Amphitheatre and at the Queen's Theatre, (the latter being, we are informed, the private property of one of them,) and to prohibit the representation or the same translation of the same play at the Liver Theatre when an attempt is made to produce it with the aid of superior talent' and with its original splendour. But we shall perhaps be told by the majors, that they have issued no prohibition of the kind. True it is that they haVe not done directly .that w hich they have accomplished by an indirect, course of operations; they_ have trot had themanliness to issue their fiat against the managers of the Liver, but have adopted the less open, the less generous and straightforward expedient of threatening an actor and two actresses with legal proceedings, should they venture upon fulfilling their engagement to appear at the Liver. The object and the animus of their tactics are pretty obvious, and the world perhaps will infer that their inten tion is to prevent talent of a superior order from being employed for the amusement of the public at any theatre but their own. There is an old maxim which the royal majors would have done well to get by heart before they hazarded an attack upon their less di ! mified competitors. It is this :—"They . who live in glass houses should never throw stones." Their evident indis position to tolerate any thing approaching to a successful rivalry has induced us to inquire into the nature of the monopoly con ferred upon them by their patent, a copy of which is now before us. That deed, after reciting the authority vested in the crown by 11, Geo. 3, cap. 16, permits the patentee, his executors, ad ministrators, and assigns to " gather together, form, entertain, govern, privilege, and keep a company of comedians for out service to exercise and to act such tragedies, plays, operas, and other entertainments of the stage ONLY as hare already been, or shall hereafter be, licensed by the chamberlain ot our household." Here, we would ask, have the patentees kept faith with the crown by performing only such pieces as have been licensed by the chamberlain ? We ask this question because we find, on referring to a collection of their play-bills, the following an nouncements of pieces to be performed, which we have good reason to believe were not then, and have not since been licensed:— Oct. 20, 183-I—" Othello, or the Moor of Venice, Travestie;" Sept. 30, 1835—" Catching an Heiress;" - Nov. 17, 1835—" The Blind Beggar of Bethnal Green." Now if all or either of these pieces have not been licensed, we have no hesitation in asserting that their patent, although not void, is voidable upon showing that the conditions upon which it was granted have not been complied with. We transcribe another passage from the patent explaining the object of the grant. It runs thus :—" And for the better attaining our royal purposes in this behalf, we have thought fit hereby to declare that henceforth no representations be admitted on the stage, by virtue or under colour of these our letters patent, whereby the christian religion in general, or the church of England, may in any manner suffer reproach, strictly inhibiting every degree of. abuse or misrepresentation of sacred characters tending to ex pose religion itself and to briallg it into contempt. And that no such character be otherwise introduced or placed in any other light than such as may enhance the just esteem of those who truly answer the end of their sacred function, we further enjoin the strictest regard to such representation as any way concerns civil policy or the constitution of our government; that these may contribute to the support of our sacred authority, and the preservation of order and good government:" FOREIGN TALLOW. There are great, and we are rather inclined to believe well-founded complaints amongst the manufacturers of soap; that the reduction of the duty on that article two or three years ago, to one-half its former amount, has not bad the effect which was hoped from it of putting down the illicit traders; but that they are still exposed to a.se vere and injurious competition from those persons. They are desirous to propose, as a remedy for this, the com plete repeal of the duty on soap ; a measure of course, not in itself objectionable, but which on financial grounds, as it yields a very large amount of revenue, it is not likely that the Chancellor of the. Exchequer will be pre pared to concede without an equivalent or something like one. The soap-makers probably feel this; and they there fore propose an alternative in lieu of the present duty, viz.; the increase of the duty on foreign tallow to three times its present amount : that is to say, from £3. G s . Bd . to £lO. per ton, with a corresponding - increase on palm oil. In this way it is presumed there might be made up to the revenue about half as much .as is now' received from the duty on soap ; and that important' article would be freed from the present rivalry of the fraudulent manu facturer, and from the severe excise restrictions to which it is subjected. These are doubtless very important objects; and the proposition might well deserve to be acted upon, were it not (which, however, we fear there is no doubt that it would be,) injurious to other, and still more important interests. But before adverting to these, we must just observe that the suggestion findsa good deal of favour with many of the agriculturists, and especially with the grazing far mers, for the obvious reason that it is calculated by in creasing the demand fox, and seriously advancing the price ot; English tallow, to cause for the present, at least, a N ow augmentation of th e i r prof i ts. Now comes the other side of the question. Russia is a very great and most rapidly increasing market for the ,exportation of our cotton twist. She took off last year nearly 21,300,000 pounds weight of yarn—worth proba bly froro £1,250,000 cle on the import to £1,500,000; and the great arti port' of which we depend as returns for this is tallow. props which s to curtail e fa• cilities for inte3r. traderegardtotforeign of th e country , as to the export of lousy, but will exo{ n f the ot only b e l oo k e d to with great jea eriienee strenuous oppositi on f rom th e representativ es welfare of the cotton tralt(l :nufacturing interests. • The is too serious a m a tt er t o be made the subject o f h a i sido movement of the B r i t i sh go u v a e experime n t.

Irvine deposed that he had shipped as 'carpenter in the brig Stormont, which sailed on the 15th August last for Demerara. His wages were fixed at E 5 per month. The vessel returned to this pot's. on the 24th January. He had received his first monthly advance of £5, in addition to which, the 'captain had supplied hint with tire pounds of tobacco, •three pounds of coffee, and three pounds Of sugar. He was sick in Demerara, and the present dispute Was respecting the doctor's bill. Themaster of the .vessel ad mitted that all was as the complainant had stated. The vessel had been away five months and nine days, and Irvine had been with her during the whole time. He bad, however, shipped , as a carpenter, and when he got to sea he found that he did not understand his business, neither'conict he do duty. as a seaman, So that he was perfectly useless in all respects except the occa sional handing ola"rope or some other simple matter. ' The carpenter's duty was'altog,etheis perfornied, by himself and the mate. The wages to a person who could wily do duty as a sea man was £2,105, per month. The cornplainant'h`ad, however, been at sorne•eXpense for tools:and ihe (the master) hadoffered to pay him his wages,_ deducting £1 per month, and thedoctor's bill. The complainant, in reply to this; said that 'he - was a car renter. and' could do his work! as well ;as any man. He had worked three months forMr.Russel,.over. at Cheshire, and that gentleman could prove his asertion. He had gone a voyage as carpenter in the ship James Grant, for New :Orleans. He had, served seven years' apprenticeship to his trade, with Mr. 'Peel, at Workington. While they were at sea the vessel had 16st her masts: and all his clothes and tools had been washed overboard. His full wages would be £26 6s: Bd.. His monthly, advance and the stores Caine to £5 13s. 6d. and the balance which he claimed wa s , therefore £2o ' 13s. 2d. • The captain stated that the doctor's bill which he•heid paid•was fifty guilders, 'or about £3 12s. Mr. Hall inquired whether the illness had beenin consequence of the perferinance of his duty in the ves sel. The captain admitted that, it had; and the complainant said that when the vessel lust her masts, she was very wet, and he had taken cold whiCh brought on' an'ulcerated - sore throat. The continual wading through salt water had' also produced what.were called salt water boils in both his legs, which were very painfulsand difficult of 'mire. He was still lame from them. lie believetla he captain lied been dissatisfied with Min, because 'he could not take his turn at the helm. The only ignorance which he was conscious of having displayed, was when the :pumps were out of order. They were patent pumps, and he did not-understand them. Mr. Hail said that the ase had assumed. au aspect which placed it out of his power to interfere. The act , did not authorise a magistrate to make a decision, except:- when the claim was for a sum less thin It now appeared that the claimant'S demand was£2o 13 Ile (Mr. Hall), how ever; recommended the •parties to endeavour-to crone to some agreement between themselves, as if they went to lays' the.ex !reuses would be very heavy.

After some further eXplana tion hy 'Mr. Hall, the captain agreed to pay £l7;- but the com s 'plainant determined to stick to his bond, and said he would have the whole. Mr. Han, "If you go to law, you will get very little of it, I can -tell you. The greater portion, if not the whole, will be absorbed in the consequent charges. Take my advice, and come to an understanding with each other.' The complainant said he would not take anything less th an £2O . Mr. Hall said he kn ew something of these matters, and he swain advised the complainant to put the£l7 into his pocket, for if he went to laws he would inevitably be worse off The complainant still refused.. Mr. Hall told him that he was a very foolish fellow, sind the parties left the court. FRlDAY.—(Before Taos—lames HALL, Esq., and theMaYoe.) EXCISE INFORMATIONS.—Patrick Mac Avoy was charged, on an information laid by the Excise-office, with having, on the 4th of November last, hail an illicit still working in his house in Birkett-street Soho. Witnesses were called who folly proved the facts as laid down in the information, and the defendant was convicted its the full penalty of £2ol).—An information was laid against Daniel Harvey, of Sawney Pope-street; charging him with selling beer without a license, whereby be was liable to a penalty of £2O. A witness named Anderson deposed to pur's chasing two glasses of ale on defendant's premises, on the 2d of November last, for which he paid 3d. Evidence was brought forward to prove that he had no license. The magistrates con victed him iu the mitigated penalty of £5 and costs.—An infor mation was laid against Mr. Robert Rothery, publican, charging him with having had in his possession a bottle of geneva and a pound of cigars, for which he had no permit and on which duty had not been paid, whereby he had incurred a penalty of £lOO. Mr. Rowland, excise -officer, deposed to finding, on the 16th of November last, on Mr. Rothery's premises, a bottle of geneva in a room up stairs which was not entered as a place of deposit for spirits, and also to finding a pound of cigars on a shelf in the bar. lie had wished him to enter the room in the excise books. lie knew the premises to be Mr. Rothery's. On being cross examined by Mr. Crewe, he said he never had found anything irregular before. The cigars were not attempted to be concealed. The geneva was among st some cordi a l s an d was not attempted to be concealed. Mr. Rothery had told him that he had ex changed some brandy for this geneva for his own use, and had bought it of a dealer whose address he had given him. Mr. Crewe submitted that Mr. Rothery was a very respectable man and had always conducted his business in a respectable manner, and that there had never before been any complaints against hint. There had been no concealment, and there had been no intention of defrauding the revenue. He trusted that under the circumstances of the case the magistrates would not inflict the penalty, but condemn the goods. Mr. Hall said the act of parliament gave a discretionary power to the Excise-office whether they would sue for treble the amount of the goods or for a penalty of £foo. The Excise-office had chosen the penalty. He had no power to remit it. Mr. Crewe still urged that there was no intention of concealing the property. Mr. Hall replied that the words of the act were " hurbouring or concealing." The magistrates would not press the case of the cigars; they thoug e h i t th i e t r n a o c t q a u c it as t e he to de b t e en t d ri a / t a e h r e i r n e nict O t n h t p h e e n o a t t l t i y ei ; • c t a h s e e y t h h a e d y must no power of remitting it. They should convict him in the miti gated penalty of £25 ; they could not go below one-fourth according to the act. Mr. Crewe then applied that the magis trates should recommend the case to the Board of Excise for a remission of the penalty. The magistrates thought that under the circumstances they could not interfere. An information laid against Joseph Bowen, of N 0.5, Oxford.; street, charging him with working an illicit still, whereby- he had ineutred the penalty of £2OO. Mr. Rowlands, excise offi cer deposed, that in consequence of information he had re ceived, he went to Bowen's house, at No. 5, Oxford-street, and found a private still there at work. There were 18 tubs there containing 180 gallons of wash. There was no one on the pre- Mises.—Mr. Ashburton, excise officer, went with Mr. Rowland; he corroborated this statement.—Mr. Patrick Daley knew the premises where the still was seized. Mr. Bowen was .the per son who occupied them ; Mr. Bowen took the house of him; he had no other tenant. The defendant did not appear. He was convicted in the full penalty of £2OO. APPRENTICE CO MPLAINT.—AIr. John Gaskill, upholsterer, appeared to lay a complaint against his apprentice for absenting himself on the Monday, and not making his appearance the whole of the week. His reason fur it was, that he (the apprena s , lice) was not likely to learn his business with him; he con tinued to follow the seine business as when he first came to him, and hed as . inuch work. His apprentice had got it into his head that he was rather forward, and was likely to make more money by leaving him: John Gaskill, the apprentice, said his master sent him out to work for other masters, and that he had not been set to upholsterer's work, but that he had to work for the upholsteresses. The master replied that that had been the case some months ago, but that he was now fully occupied and likely to be so. Mr. Hall said some masters had a mistaken impres sion that th e y h a d a r i g ht to transfer their apprentices to any party for a short time, when they could not-employ them. The parents of the apprentices in placingthein with a master, might have confidence in him, but not in the party to whom they might he transferred, In the present case, however, he thought it but fair that he should return to his master, which the magistrates should order him to do; he had better do that than go to the House of Correction: The apprentice consented to return.' FeeoNY.—Mary Murphy, an old offender, who had been up wards of fifty tinieS before the magistrates, and Eliza Cutler, were brought up, charged by the waiter of the Wellington Hotel, With having stolen a large number of slippers, the pro perty of the boots of the hotel. The night before, he saw Mur phy come out of the hotel door with an , apron full of slippers ; he asked her what she had got in her apron, and she said she was selling some old shoes; he then 'opened her apron and found them full of slippers. He could swear to the slippers. There were 23 pairs of slippers; they were worth Is. 4dsst pail. The ether prisoner wits standing outside of the door watching, and when he gave Murphy into custody was very abusive, so he gave heralso into custody. Murphy in defence, said she was walking down Dale-street, when she met a man who sold her the slippers for 6d. The prisoner Murphy was committed to take her trial at the sessions; the other prisoner (Cutler) was discharged with'a reprimand from the magistrate. SaeronisAv.—(Befere THOUAS JAMES Hash,' Esq., the Ma gistrate.) BURGLARY.—John Myers was brought up charged with bay ing broken into the house of Mr. Burgess, in Crown-street, the night before Fait,. and taken a quantity of property therefrom. Furlong, the watchman, stated that he saw t h e pr i soner b etween two and three o'clock in the morning walking up the dark side of Crown-street with a bundle in his hand. He followed him, and when the prisoner found he was followed he stopped on some waste irround in Crown-Street, where the foundation of a house is laving, and loosed his trousers. When he got up to him he asked him what he had got in his bundle ; he replied, it was only a bonnet which he was taking to his sister; the bonnet was wrapped in a shawl. He then took him into custody. On his return fr6m Bridewell he told the captain of th e watc h a l l the circumstances, and they went to the waste ground where the' prisoner had been standing and searched about ; they found nine silver tea spoons, two large silver spoons, a silver salt spoon, a pair of silver sugar tongs, two silver thimbles, and two silver caster tops, just covered 'over with earth, exactly in the place where the prisoner had been - standing. They made inquiry, and found the property belonged to Mr. Burgess, of Crown-street. The captain of the watch said he afterwards found two necklaces and a gold locket at the waste plot of ground in Crown-street where the prisoner had been standing. A constable stated that on searching the prisoner at Bridewell he found on him some cheroots and a gold ear-ring, and also a piece o f li quor i ce. On inquiring at Mr. Burgess's house lie found that a panne! of the door had been cut out large enough to admit the entrance of a man, and that the spoons, &c. had been taken out of a closet in the front parlour, together with the cheroots and the liquorice ; the bonnet and shawl was the property of Miss Burgess, and had, along with the necklaces, &c., been taken ou t o f a b ox from a room up stairs. Mr. Burgess identified the silver spoons as his property; altogether there might he £5 worth of things stolen. Miss Burgess identified the bonnet and shawl as her property, and also the necklaces and locket; the ear-ring found on the orisoner at Bridewell wa s a l so het's. The thimbl es* were hers. Th., prisoner had nothing to say in defence. —He was committed to take his trial for the offence. CAUTION TO WAsnOtwomEN.—A man named John Woods was charged with the commission of a felony by John Churchwell, who deposed, that he 'resided near the Black Horse, West Dorby. He kept a cart and horse, which he used as employed. On •Saturday he usually brought baskets of clothes to town for washerwomen. On Saturday morning last, at about ten o'clock, he had received a basket of clothes from Mrs. Davis, a neighbour of his. Ile was to take them to a place near the Blue Bell, in London-road. He set out for Li verpool, and stopped his cart, in St. Anne-street. He went into a house and was absent about a minute ; when be returned he missed Mrs. Davis's basket from the hinder part of the cart. A woman indicated that he, should run in the direction of Rich mond row. He did - so, and in llichniond-row he saw the pri soner walking very leisurely, with the basket of clothes up on hi s head. He immediately seized him, and held him until Naylor, captain of the watch, came up. The case being fully proved, the prisoner was committed to take his trial fur the offence. [ln our police report of Friday last, of a case of extensive fraud committed by. one of ,Mr. Dempsey, the timber mer chailt's clerks, by some unacemintable error Mr. Cuthbert Simpson's name, who attended as a witness in the case, was in serted as the <<young man in the employmeut of Mr. Dernp `ev,” instead of John Jones, the proper name of the clerk. - Mr. Cuthbert Simpson has called upon us, and expressed himself aggrieved at this error. Mr. Cuthbert Simpson is an elder! y gentleman, and we believe is not, nor ever has been, ‘‘ in the employment of Mr. Dempsey." The description could not therefore. attach, in the slightest degree, to him. 'We'beg, hoc ever, to rectify as far as possible our mistake.] LOCONIQTIVE ENGINES. Aiming' the 'numerous improvements in steam carriages, which' have taken place Within the Inst six years, may be reckoned that which has for some time been adopted on the Li verpool and Manchester Railway, wiiii:h - tends to insure the safety ht passengers and to - protect the rails. It is .effected by the addition of a small pair of wheels- placed under the after. part of the"carriage—not for the pOrPose as they were formerly used to increase the adhesion to the rails by connecting all the wheels together, but to. relieve the very great weight on the' cranked axle, caused by the fire box •andL the overhanging a w n . e d ig c ht o. ; , o .l f ,h t i h o e il alter part of the frame.' The. effect has been satisfactorily ascertained by a'fine and powerful engine. called. was then. withou't"ativiroitthievurrkaeltderwa • the "'Hercules," lately constructed by Messrs. Mather', Dixon, with to ut improvement in this and .every other case where it - Has been Owtowrkheedels:itahussiuxa!,- 'the triedavils very evident, and prhiniSei •reitiVe all - the Objee tions ehich can be - made against-it. It was feared, .014 by re ' lieving• the Wei'ght from the c r an k e d ax l e a nd d r i v i n g wheels, tlre•adlieSion to the rails would not be sufficient to-alle*nf the . engine to be Worked to its full power without slipping, The Hercules, however, took a train with a grOss weight of about. '170: tons tb' Manchester; without once slipping,' although the day was not favourable for such a trial, The additional wheels appear objectionable by increasing the weight to be propelled; - btn allnwing that it makes . an addition of &Wt., it' is evidently '0.1• no importance, in proportion to the immense loads• that are taken ; but as re , rards the rails it is of the utmost advantage, by'distributingthe load more equally OVerthem'. The'directors are so - satisfied on:this point, that they do not willing allow the: large sized engines.to draw without them. The next point to be stated, and one to which the public are feelingly alive, •is the greatly- increased safety, by the adoption of six wheels, that should the cranked axle break, the engine is still borne on four, • and' no other inconvenience can arise than the detention of the train. Sorrie - engineers argue that a cranked axle propelly. Made, will not break, but experience teaches that it is impossi ble always . to 'guard against defects in trie iron ;•---'and what must he the feelings of any company, who' by neglecting: such a siMple precaution; should cause' the of those intrusted to their care.' Is is mita to the credit of the director'of the Li : verpool-and Manehester liailwac ClOutpany,' that all other con-.: siderations have been waived, when any :plan 'to insure the, safety of passengers ceuld.be adopted.' 7 The additional wheels also render the motion or the carriages' much srnoinher,•which must coirsiderably'dintinish the friction. 7 13iith to the 'engines and rails. The dirictilty of turning the six wheeled engines, and the extra expense are objections that' cannot for a moment stand good against, the abovementioned . advantages ; and it is 'to be hop e d t h a t th e direetrn's of the ex - ten site and important lines of railways which . ate. OrnO•e6, will make arrangements for the adoption of carriages of this 'de- : scriptien, should those which are now employed on. the Liver pool and Manchester Railway continue to be•saccesiful. • 3.1 - mports.
