BARTHOLOMEW'S D TO THE EDITOR OF THE SIR, —In 1848, I published some statistics showing I the state of my district—as concerns its population.l education, religion, and morals. I shall be obliged by an inser tion of the table in your paper. The former statistics were framed upon information gleaned from actual visits paid by myself, accompanied by my Scrip ture reader (the only helper I then had) to every house in the district, and the corrections are the fruits of a second and similar visitation. I 'find that the population has increased from 9,336 to 9,558, and to its spiritual and moral destitution I again wish to dire"ct attention. I am anxious particularly to call attention to the Parish Schools, which are, I sr' sorry to remark, in a very inefficient condition, in consequeLce of the wretchedly dilapidated s' ate of the school buildings. This is the more lamentable, as in my first visitation I ascertained that St. Bartholomew's district parish contained 956 families, with children sufficiently old to attend school; and that, out of this number, the children in 235 families received no education whatever, whilst the children in 236 others attended Sunday Schools only.. Upon these facts I based an earnest appeal for pecuniary assistance in carrying out my plans for the erection of new schools ' • in these, however, I have, I regret to say, been unsuc cessful, for I have hitherto been unable to obtain a proper site. My only resource lies, therefore, in improving the present school-house, which it is proposed to effect by raising the roof, repairing the boys' school, and enlarging and improving the buildings in other respects. To effect these alterations, the sum of .4'500 will be required ; and I trust that those who know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and feel for the spiritual wants of their poorer brethren, or who are interested in spread of sound Scriptural education, will afford us their nd assistance in the present urgent necessity. Donations will be thankfully received at the Bank o essrs. Attwoods, Spooner, and Co. ;by the Churchwar ns of St. Bartholomew's; and by Your obedient and obliged servant, WILLIAM DUNCAN LO , M.A., Perpetual Curate o t. Bartholo Chester Mold .. LIVERPOOL DISTRICT PROVIDENT SOCIETY. THE COMMITTEE regret that the depressed state of the Funds of the Society obliges them to make an im mediate and earnest appeal to the Public on its behalf. The income of the Society. derived from Annual Subscriptions, falls far short of what is required for its efficient maintenance, and the Committee, in making this appeal to their Fellow townsmen, are confident that it will be met with the same liberality and promptitude which they have invariably expe rienced on former occasions.

They deal, no doubt, in sly humorous touches often enough; but the broad provinces of that great domain are almost uninvaded by them ; beyond the outskirts, aed open borders, they have never ventured to pass. Compare Miss Austen, Miss Ferrier, and Miss Edgeworth, with the lusty mirth and riotous humour of Shakspeare, Ra belais, Butler, Swift, Fielding, Smollett, or Dickens and Thackeray. It is like comparing a quiet smile with the " inextinguishable laughter' , of the Homeric gods ! So also on the stage,—there have been comic actresses of in comparable merit, lively, pleasant, humorous women, gladdening the scene with their airy brightness and glad some presence ; but they have no comic energy. There has been no female Munden, Liston, and Matthews, or Keeley. —Edinburgh Review. SYRIAN COURTSHIP. —It is customary in the East for these arrangements to be made by the parents of the bride and bridegroom ; but this did not suit my ideas, and I was determined to select a bride for myself. Accordingly I went to my friend H. Khoojah Habib Giammil, a liberal and enlightened gentleman. He allowed his beautiful eldest daughter to hand me the sherbet, and the moment I saw her, as we say in the Eastern language, " a thou sand of my vertebrae got broken, and she took my heart with her when she left the room. I knew I was a favourite with her father and I returned home, resolved not to delay making my proposals. I told my father the state of my heart, and requested him to take a diamond ring and a fine white handkerchief, the emblem of betroth ment, to the father of the damsel, and entreat him to allow me the joy of being bethrothed to his daughter Martha. . . . My beloved father. in his kind way, took my message, and with a beating heart I waited for the answer. In about an hour be returned, and said, smiling, " Assaad, all thy affairs seem to go smoothly, although they may be conducted in an irregular way ; thy father-in-law was amazed at thy message, but he is sure that God will bless thee, and he will be glad to see thee." I called immediately after, and no sooner entered the hall than all the young people disappeared ; for it is custo mary, when a damsel is betrothed, on no account to let her see her future bridegroom. After all, this is a mock ery, for it often happens that when the bridegroom elect has left the house, the mother and all her daughters crowd to the windows to see him pass. Apparently un conscious of the presence of the young lady, I entered the room as if merely to see her mother, when Martha ran to a corner and turned her fare towards the wall ; but to my delight I perceived that while her mother was talk ing to me and could not see her, she turned to look at me. I found the mother quite in my favour, and I took care to make my visits chiefly in the day time, when the father was'out, as I feared his gravity would not tolerate my visits to the lady's apartments. One day I chanced to go when he was at home, and found the young ladies with him. I hastened in before they could run away, and was delighted to hear him tell Martha, when , she was making her escape, " Oh, nonsense Martha, you do not mean it—it is all hypocrisy, you had• better stay." She nevertheless retired to the inner apartments, but her father's words encouraged her, and she began to look through a small hole in the wail of the divan where her father and I were sitting. The next ti-ze I made her a present of a penknife, which enabled her to make the bole larger ; and I took care to sit opposite to it, so that she might see me. This was when I made my evening visits to her father, with other company, as in that country most visits are made at night. In my day visits j saw herself, and thus broke the ice for other brides and bride grooms to follow. I have since learnt that her father did lactually consult her respecting my offer, and asked her c wsent. She had a very superior mind.—A Voice from , Lebanon, by Atiaad y Kayat. DANCING.

POLICE COU RTkiMTE RD AY THEFT FROM A IrousE.-Macgaretlq`Kenziewas charged with stealing two coats and three books from the house of a lady in Elizabeth-street, which she., afterwards pledged ; and the case being proved she was umnaitted for trial. _ ROBBERY IN A SHOP.—Cornelius Gleeson was charged with stealing, from the cellar shop of Thomas Scott, Sir Thomas's -buildings, six pairs of boots and six pairs of shoes, on Saturday morning. The place was made fast at night, and was found, by the neighbours in the morn ing very early, to be broken open. A Mr. Hughes, who went into it, found the prisoner there, and a quantity of boots, which had been removed from the shelvei, at his feet. The articles missed were not found. The prisoner on being found in the cellar said he found the door bro ken open, and went in to protect the prOperty. lie was committed for trial.. _ CLAIM FOR WAGES.—SECRETING A SLAVE.—A sea man, named Alexander Stewart, claimed from a captain, named Robert M`Gilvery, two months' wages, (Xi 10s.) for two months service in his ship, which had arrived here from Norfolk, in Virginia. The ground of refusal to pay was stated to be that the applicant had stolen a slave from Norfolk, and secreted and fed him on board the vessel, in which he was ten days without being discovered by the captain, who said that such an offence in the Southern States subjected the ship to a fine of 2000 dollars, and the offender to imprisonment for life in the Penitentiary. On the evidence, however, being gone icto, there appeared no proof that the seaman had himself taken the slave on board, though he and others of the crew had fed him on the passage. The slave is still in Liverpool, but was not brought up as a witness. In the absence of any legal evi dence against the applicant, the accounts between the captain and him were adjusted, and the former 'vas ordered to pay the man the balance, £3 '4s. 10d. STEALING FROM THE PERSON.—Thdmas Williams was charged re b e y t , with r e o t b h P b in a g rk b e e r r , wife two b o f a butcher go odshillingsin B= an ri d d % bad shilling, The prisoner was committed for trial. DISTURBANCE . AT AN INN, ARISING FROM YANKEE DISLIKE TO COLOURED PEOPLE.—A stout, well-dressed' man, named Stowfort, was placed at the bar on the com plaint of Mr. Timothy Parkinson, publican, of Roe-street; who said that on Sunday evening there was a numllei of captains and mates of American vessels in his house. In a back room there was a black man, sitting quietly with some of his friends, including some of the men belong ing to Wombwell's Menagerie. •The prisoner intimated to some of the mates and others around him that there was a black man In the house. 'Several parties (Ameri cans) went into the room, and the black man was ejected, with some little violence. The landlord advised him to go, so that he might receive no personal violence. A general fight, or squabble then took place, and glasses and jugs were thrown about. One of the glasses was " fired" at Mr. Parkinson, and wounded hien in the head, so that he came into court with a bandage round it. The black man being said his name was Brovin,,and that he made a living by exhibiting wax-work figures, now in the Hay market. The prisoner, on entering the room in which he (witness) sat, cried out to him, " Come out of this ; we will bave no negroes here !" Another witness said that Mr, Stowfort was not in the back room at all, but it ap peared that he was 'Concerned in the 'disturbance.' Mr. Rushton said the disturbance arose from the prejudice entertained in the United States against blaclis. Because a man with a coloured skin was in an adjoining room he WIIF to be ejected and mal-treated, and a riot created. conduct would not be tolerated in England, and the pri soner must therefore pay a fine of £5, or be imprisoned 42 days, for the assault on the black man. ANOTHER CLAIM FOR WAGES.—A man named James Lewis, cook of the ship Laconic, claimed wages to the amount of about £l7, from Captain Dalhousie Miller, for his services on board. Applicant had shipped at St. An drew's, N. 8., on the 7th November last, and had signed articles for a voyage thence to Liverpool, and other ports in Europe, and back to America. Mr. Yates stated the case for the prisoner. It appeared that the ship had lost her rudder, and become leaky at sea. In a gale of wind she p nt into Dingle Bay, in Ireland, and thence went to Valencia, where she was partially repaired, but still leaked much. Several of the crew then deserted her, but the applicant and some others stuck by her, and she was at last brought to Liverpool. Hence she went to Hull, where she was discharged, and re-loaded with iron, &c. She again proceeded to sea, but, when out sixteen days, again became leaky, and was forced to put into Londonderry. There the captain hired ten men to keep her pumped out, and she was brought back to Liverpool, with the applicant still on board. Lewis said that the reason he did not go with her when she sailed again, was that several of the crew had threatened to take his life if he again went on board. The captain, who had paid his board here, and a month's advance, said that the applicant had never mentioned to him that be was afraid to go with the ship,—which, in fact, he had deserted, :and another cook had to be engaged.—Mr. Rushton took this view of the case. The applicant had been here five weeks on board wages, and having, without assigning a proper cause, deserted his ship, had lost all his wages. Muloa OFFENCES.—Thomas Gallagher, for picking pockets in St. John's Market—Three months' imprison ment.—Ellen M`Donald,—another case precisely similar, same punishment.—William Sim, for stealing a jacket at the Waterloo Dock—Two months.—Catherine Smith— stealing a pair of drawers in Waterloo-road—Two months. —Mary Reynolds, for being found finder suspicious cir cumstances, in the house of the Rev. Mr. Jones, in Heathfield-street—Three months. REMANDED CASE.—A girl named Kelly, and six young men, Riley, Dugdale, and others, who had been remanded from the previous Monday, weroagain brought up, charg ed by a - Manwho is a. coal.dealer and cab-owner, with robbing him; in a house of ill fame, in Wright-street,. on Saturday week, of a £lO note, and £1 17s. 61 in silver. There was some uncertainty as to the female prisoner, and souse of the others being the guilty parties, so far as the statement of the complainant went, but they were all put down, and the evidence ordered to be taken. Lately, in the north of Devon, the following remarka ble occurrence took place :—A lady was baptised in the morning at nine, confirmed at ten, and married at eleven o'clock on the sanie day. THEATRE ROYAL.—The comic pantomime will be with drawn after this week. A grand juvenile night will take place on Thursday, and to accommodate persons on the Cheshire side the pantomime will be the first piece pro duced. Mr. Macready will commence an engagement on Monday. The performances this evening will commence with the opera of La Somnambula. EPP'S HOMEOPATHIC COCOA.—There is no article of growth more nutritious than that of the cocoa nut, but the great objection to its introduction hitherto has been the want of a means of amalgamating the oily with the flowry portions of produce. This desideratum is attained in Epps's cocoa, and it therefore becomes now most suitable as a general article of diet, but more particularly to invalids, and those of delicate stomachs. • MANCHESTER SAUCE.-A new article of cuisine under this name has just been introduced, and has given great satisfaction to some of our leading gastronomic professors. It is piquant and provocative of appetite; and in this respect very:different to the ordinary sauce from that town, which is anything but recherche in taste or quality. The common Manchester article, unlike this newly introduced sort, improves neither fish, flesh, nor fowl. . A NEW DESCRIPTION OF STEAM-VESSEL.—For some days past great excitement has prevailed at Marseilles by the arrival at that port of an entirely new description of steamer, and which, if successful, will cause a complete revolution in the present plans of building steam vessels. The vessel is named the Port de Marseilles, and was built by a M. Lieutieur. It has not the slightest appearanct of masts or funnel ; in fact, there is nothing to show whether she is propelled by wind, or steam, or oar. She glides through the water as if propelled by some invisible agency. The propelling power is by a simple lever of sufficient power.—La Marine. ROBBERY FROM A WATCH MANUFACTORY.—John Pritchard, and a female named Wright, were charged with robbing Mr. Samuel, watch-case manufacturer, Wood street, of about £4O worth of gold wire, and one silver and two gold watches, worth £6O, on the morning of Friday. The male prisoner, an idle fellow, was in Mr. Samuel's employ, but bad received notice, and was to leave on Saturday night. It was customary at the works lo lock up at night the valuablo metals on which the men were at work during the day, in an iron safe, and they, when it was opened in the morning, were allowed to take it out to resume their work. On Friday morning the male prisoner in doing so, abstracted the gold wire and the watches, and afterwards put on his coat and left the place. A police-officer apprehended both the prisoners, in a public-house in Christian-street, and Pritchard had a £lO note and some silver in his possession. He had also changed a£s note. The female prisoner was. dis charged, and Pritchard was remanded. The inquiry has not yet been resumed. VORACA'Y OF FISHES.—The two following instances of the pike's voracity are almost incredible, but both I can also certify. In the spring of 1841 two pikes of 12 pounds weight were cast upon Loch Vennachars shore, each with the hold of the other's jaws, and quite dead. The second instance happened in Suffolk. A jack of only two pounds was found choked, in attempting to swallow another of a pound-and-a-half. The gentleman who saw them taken out, only a short time before, told me the fact. But even these instances are equalled by the solemn toothless cod. A friend of mine was trolling in Loch Long, and hooked a sceithe ; an enormous cod seized the sceithe, and paid the penalty by being brought into the boat himself; his girth seemed unnaturally large, and, upon opening him, a brown paper packet of sandwiches, enough for a pretty large party, was taken out. They could not have been less injured, mustard and all, had the cod's stomach been a sandwich-box.—Colguhoun's .High land Wanderings. THE SOLDIER'S. DREAM. The evening before the battle of Lrnate, Junot, having been on horseback all the - day, and ridden above 20 leagues in carrying the orders of the General in Chief, lay down overwhelmed with fatigue, without undressing, and ready to start up at the smallest signal. Hardly was he asleep when he dreamed he was on a field of battle, surrounded by the dead and the dying. ,Before him, was'a horseman clad in armour, with whom he was engaged ; but, instead of a lance, he was armed with a scythe - , with which he struck Juliet several blows,-par ticularly one on the left temple. The combat was long, and at length they seized each other by the middle; in the struggle the vizor of the horseman fell off, and Junot perceived that he was fighting with a skeleton. Soon the armour fell off, and Death stood before him armed. with his scythe. " I have not beers able to take you," said he, " but I will seize one of your best friends. Beware of me !" Junot awoke in a cold perspiration. The morning was beginning to dawn, and he could not sleep from the impression that he received. He felt convinced that one of his brother aides-de-camp, Muiron or Marmont, would be slain in the approaching fight. In effect it was so. Junot received two wounds, one in the left temple—which be bore to the grave, and another on the breast, but Muiron was shot through the heart.—Memoirs of the Duchess of Abrant es.

Early this morning an event transpired here, which has created much excitement, and been the universal subject of conversation during the day. About 8 o'clock the servants of a Mrs. Novelli, residing in Higher Broughton, were alarmed by the crying of a child, and on inquiry as to the cause of its distress, learnt that its mother had not, as was her custom, slept with it; the servants on ascer taining this, went into the drawing-room, and found Mrs. Novelli partially dressed and quite dead. On proceeding to the bedroom of a brother-in-law, who resided with her, he was found suspended from the bed-post, also quite dead, but still warm. Mrs. Novelli lost her hus band about eighteen months' back, and since that time has resided with her brother-in-law, who was one of the executors of his brother's will.—The coroner's inquest was held this afternoon, and adjourned till Wednesday next.—lt would be improper to anticipate the result of the inquiry of the jury, but medical testimony was given which proves that the unfortunate lady died by strangu lation. The suspicions to which this fact naturally gives rise will doubtless be set at rest by the verdict of the jury on Wednesday. ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE PRESIDENT OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. Information of a conspiracy to assassinate the Presi dent of the Republic was given by one of the persons arrested in Paris on Sunday. He states that he was, chosen by lot to perpetrate the crime, which was planned in a wine shop. He purchased a pistol, powder, and balls, and a•poignard—all paid for by subscription. On the 24th December, it was expected the President would go to the Italian opera, and the intended assassin went there, but the President did not appear. Ever since he had been persecuted and threatened by his associates for negligence in not fulfilling his pledge, and at length, under the influence of terror or remorse, he made .the above declaration. He had been a clerk in a silk mer cer's, and was once arrested for several, acts of forgery. He afterwards fought at the .Barricades in June. ,All the persons implicated lately returned from the hulks at Brest, where they were confined for participation in the June insurrection. Their ingratitude towards the President on the pardon being granted them, has created an unpleasant feeling in Paris, but the informers state ment must be received with caution. ITALY, LOMBARDY. — Letters from Mantua, Verona, and Venice state that several individuals belonging to the upper classes of society had been arrested, in those cities, by the_Austrian authorities. • PIEDMONT.- - The Turin Gazette, of the 16th instant, contains a decree granting a full pardon for all offences committed, by the National Guards of that city up to that day.

BERLIN, 18TH. - Ministers appear to have virtually resigned. The King declined to make any concessions. BRESLAU, 16TH.-Zintenie political excitement prevails respecting the King's message. Very few people approved of it ; the democrats were in ecstacies ; they held a meet ing on the 14th, when the police interfered, and dispersed them, and arrested several. AuSTßlA.—Vienna, 14th.—The Wanderer says satis faction is expressed at Austria's intention to defend the rights of Schleswig-Holstein, by advocating their privileges to remain united and annexed to Germany, and that at the expiration of the personal union with Denmark, they would enter the rank of independent states. The Arch duke John counsels the emperor not to allow Prussia to obtain political ascendancy in Germany. TURKEY. — Constantinople,Gth Jan.—No news of im portance. The announcement of the resumption of re lationship between the Russian envoy and the Turkish government officially confirmed. LATEST BETTING TATTERSALL'S.
