That any great number of them remains to be proved, notwithstanding our con temporary's assertion of the fact. But to the state- ment that they were "furnished with the coppers to pay for their admission" by the Protestant Oper- ative Association, we are authorised by its treasurer to offer an unqu Med contradiction. The Protestant Operative Association never made such a use of th it funds, when in prosperity; and at the present moment, deserted as it is by the Conservative party, whom its efforts conduced so greatly to raise to power, it has no funds, unfortunately, for those legitimate and valuable purposes for which it was called into existence.

STANDARD , een their operation ? VOTERS REVISION OF THE MUNICIPAL LIST OF Yesterday morning Robertson Gladstone, Esq., Mayor, with the revising assessors, Thos. C.ir-on, Esq., :end John Yates, jun.. Esq , held a c .urt for toe revision of the municipal list of voters. At the opening of the court there were hut few persons in attend nice. Mr. Snowball and Mr. Berry, solicitors, appeared as alents for the Reform party, and Mr. Al..ss, solicitor, for the Conserva tives. On the opening of the proceedings, Mr. CARSON, addressing Mr. Snowball, said, he under stood there were a number of professional gentlemen pre sent, and he hoped it would be convenient to decide their case at once. Mr. SNOWBALL said, the ground of objection to these gentlemen was, that an attorney's office was not a count ing -house. He then cited a case tried before Mr. Justice Erskine, at the Chester assizes. In that case he said a man was indicted under the 7th and Bth Geo. IV. chap. 4, which enacts, that if any person broke and enterer into any shop, warehouse, or counting-house. he was liable to fifteen years' transportation. The prisoner was found guilty under the indictment for entering the office of Mr. Skerratt, attorney, of Cheshire, and sentenced to fifteen years' transportation, but on the following morning the prisoner was brought up and sentenced on the simple larceny, Mr. Justice Erskine holding that the indictment was bad, on the ground ►hat an attorney's office did not come within the words in the statute—" shop, warehouse, or counting-house." Mr. Snowball proceeded to say, the case was not published, but read an extract from a letter written by the attorney in the case, which corroborated the statement he had made. Mr. BERRY said, the best plan would be to call one of the cases on and then -decide it. Peter Wright, of Castle-street Ward, was then called. He said he had occupied an office for thirty years in Brunswick-street, as solicitor or attorney, and he unfor tunately transacted business to a great extent as trustee and executor—he paid and received money to a great ex tent. He had also been an householder for three years within the borough. Mr. SNOWBALL added, that they never beard an attor ney's office called a counting-house until this bill was passed. Nobody ever said, "I am going to an attorney's counting-house." Mr. Moss contended that a solicitor's office was a counting-house to all intents and purposes. It was not at all necessary that it should be an office for the receipt and payment of money. Besides, he apprehended the act must be construed beneficially, so as to admit of the great est number of persons possible. Mr. Berry followed at some length, contending that they must construe an act of parliament in the same way they would a will—they must not come to inquire into what the party intended, except by the meaning of the words in the document itself, and therefore that the ob jection taken by Mr. Snowball was correct. In corrobo ration of his view be read an opinion by Mr. Welsby, barrister, given on a case submitted to him, and in which he stated that he conceived the office of a solicitor or sur. veyor, where he carried on his professional business, did not fall within the meaning of the word " counting-house." Mr, Welsby added, however, that the case had been dif ferently decided in different places. Mr. Berry concluded by saying that he would be happy to join with others in getting an alteration of the act, but he thought it would best answer the justice of the case to decide to decide that Mr. Yates, and other gentlemen were not entitled to vote under the meaning of the act of parliament. Mr. Moss said the absence of any judicial decision on this point was the best proof that no case could arise on it. The objection had frequently been taken, but always overruled. With regard to Mr. Wright, he said he was a trustee and executor, as most attorney's were. He was also a cash-keeper, and there was no doubt that consti tuted his office a counting-house. Mr. WRIGHT said there was a great difference between a penal and a remedial statute. There was no doubt a penal act would be construed with the greatest strictness, but not so with a remedial statute. He then referred them to the meaning of the word counting-house, as given in the various dictionaries, and contended there was no doubt that an a torney's office came within the meaning of the term counting-house. Mr. Moss said Johnson's meaning of the word was " a room appropriated by traders for their books and accounts." He added, that most attorneys were money scriveners—persons into whose hands money was placed for the purpose of increasing it. Mr. YATES said that if they held the argument of Mr. Snowball and Mr. Berry, they would hold that no build ing but that which was at all times described precisely in the act of parliament could be a counting-house. Now, many merchants' counting-houses were called offices. The word counting-house was going out, and in fact it would soon be obsolete. Mr. SNOWBALL said professional men's places of busi ness were always called offices. The Court considered the question, and then Mr. CARSON said the court considered, on general grounds, that an attorney's office was a counting-house, As far as his own judgment went, he was of opinion that the profession of attorney was connected with accounts. He received and paid money as a scrivener. He received money to lay out, and he accounted for it to his client; when he received a debt and costs he accounted for it to his client, and on that account, and on general grounds, he thought an attorney's office was a counting-house. The question was raised some time ago before Mr. Turner, a barrister. and it was then decided that an attorney's office was a counting-house. The question had never been be fore a higher court, and at that time of day, eight years after the passing of the municipal act, it. was too late to attempt to alter the decision. Mr: YATES said he entirely concurred in what Mr. Carson had said. Mr. BERRY said that as this question would probably be brought before another tribunal, and as the election of particular gentlemen in the present balanced state of the constituency might depend on the decision of this ques tion, he would not withdraw the objections, but require that all the gentlemen might be examined, when he would take objection to them. Mr. YATES.—How many are there? Mr. BERRY.—About 50, and there are several gentle men now in the council whose seats may be objected to. Mr. CARSON thought one case would be sufficient to raise the point. Mr. BERRY said he had proposed to the assessors to take the opinion of the Attorney-General on the subject, and if his opinion was averse to that given by Mr. Welsby, he would withdraw the objections, but as that was not ac ceded to, he must go on and have all the qualifications proved, but he did not at all wish to impede the business of the court. The names of all the attorneys were then called, and such as were present were heard in support of their quali fications. Their votes were all allowed. Mr. Berry asked in each case whether they occupied their offices ex cept for the purposes of a solicitor's or attorney's office. Mr. Carson, the assessor, was one of those objected to, and on entering upon the case said, " I suppose you don't object to the jurisdiction, do you, Mr. Snowball ?" His vote was allowed by the court. Another question arose during the day as to whether a rate was to be considered a law from the day of signing or from the day of publication. The Mayor and Mr. Carso❑ agreed that the day of publication was the proper time, Mr. Yates dissenting. M r. Berry having kept his seat in asking questions from the parties appearing, The MAYOR, addressing him, said " I am not very par ticular about forms, but I think it is but right that you stand up when you ask questions. Mr. BERRY.— I beg our pardon, but as it was only a short question I thought I might do it without standing up. William Hardisty, of Scotland-road, was objected to by Mr. Snowball. It appeared the claimant occupied a house in conjunction with his father in Scotland-road. Previous to 1841, the father occupied a house in Gill -street, after which the receipts were made out in the name of father and son jointly, and in course of examination Mr. Hardisty said he paid his father a certain sum for his proportion of the expenses of the house. There was only one key to the house, and his mother engaged the servants. The court decided the vote was bad, Mr. Carson observing that there was always most difficulty in proving the joint occupancies. To be a joint occupancy the parties must hare everything in common. Each must have a key, and they must engage the servants jointly. Mr. Moss thought it was sufficient to prove the tenancy, in ratio to what uses the house was put or the interest the parties bad it. Mr. Yates said the parties might be tenants, although only one of them was occupant, and therefore it was important to know about the occupancy. The vote was disallowed. Hugh M'Bride, dock-master, was objected to by Mr. Berry, on the ground that he lived in a house paid for by the Dock Committee, but Mr. Carson said this point had already been decided in the case of Mr Amos, of Kirk dale Gaol. Another oblection was, that though he had paid the rates of 1842, yet he was not put upon the rate. It was proved however, that he claimed to he rated upoli entering the new premises at the dock, arid alter he left his house in Waterloo-road, and therefore the vote was allowed. Charles Wye 'Williams was objected to on the ;r , nrcl that the premises for which he was rattd belonged to the City of Dublin Company, and that the company also paid the rates. Mr. Carson said if it could be shown that Mr. Williams occupied premises in his own right, independently of the company, then he would be allowed to vote, but tailing that, he was not entitled. The gen tleman who appeared for Mr. Williams, said his, (Mr. W.'s) business was the business of the company, aod he did not occupy premises independent of the company. The vote was accordingly disallowed. Morgan Flanagan, Jf . Blackstoek-street, was objected to by the conservaties on the ground that he was a servant of Mr. Stockdale, who paid the rates. The applicant stated that he paid rent to Mr. Stockdale, and gut the money from his agent to pay the taxes. Mr. Moss con tended that this was a payment of the rent by the land lord for political purposes, and not a bona fide payment by the tenant. Flanagan stated that he paid more rent for the house than he would have done, if the landlord did not pay the taxes. He said the mom y was given to him. and he might have done as he liked with it. After some consultation, the vote was allowed. The objection against the parties under the same circumstances were not entered into. The court proceeded to the end of St. Paul's Ward, and having sat till a little after seven o'clock. then ad journed. The claims in No. 6 Castle-street Ward will be proceeded with this morning at ten o'clock. REDUCED DUTY ON CUBA TIMBER : INFRACTION OF RECIPROCITY TRE ATIES.—A treasury order has been recently received, directing that Cuba timber, for ship hUildinc purposes, is to be henceforth adu.itted at the same duty as teak wood, as the Lords of the Admir a lty are of opinion, that great advantages will result from in . creased facilities for its admission. .re told that they have not paid to the Duel it erection. Very likely they have not were they ever expected to do so ? Not at all. They were never intended as a source of direct revenue; and yet they have been profitable in directly, notwithstanding all the efforts to mar their usefulness. At the last Council meeting referred to in the extract given above, Mr. Ripley expressed himself to the effect, that " These sheds were intended as an experiment, and never was there a mote complete failure, or thorough waste of money. • • • The sheds were eleven in number, and twenty-six vessels only had been ac commodated. He was quite satisfied that one shed would have done the work, and that ten out of eleven were useless." and yet,—strange inconsistency 1--in the very week previous we find the Chairman of the Dock Com mittee stating that, " within the last few days, a large ship from China had discharged her cargo on the west side of the Prince's Dock, and made use of the transit sheds ;" and the same Mr. Ripley con firming the chairman in his opinion as to the use fulness of the sheds by adding, that " the vessels had discharged 12,000 chests of tea in thirty-one working hours," and volunteering his opinion that, "had it not been for the transit sheds, they would have been three full weeks" ! Here, therefore, we have the value of the transit sheds, if properly and fairly worked, distinctly pro claimed. They facilitate the discharging of a ves sel, and thus far operate to supersede the necessity of increased dock space. Independent, however, of the mere facility afforded for discharging, the very fact that such sheds exist, and can be used against that class of importers who make warehouses of the vessels in which their merchandise is im ported, tends to compel entries being made, and ships con , equently liberated. Let these sheds be fairly worked, and this feature of their usefulness will be more and more widened, and the necessity of increased dock space, for a time at least removed. Upon many evidences of the usefulness of these erections, were they honestly managed, we could enlarge; but it is useless. Every merchant—every shipowner, or charterer, acknowledges the use which might be made of dock sheds, recognised as they are as, in all respects, of the same security to the revenue as the holds of vessels themselves. No man, who ever superintended the discharging of a , is ignorant of the facts whicht we have stated; and we are confident that, if the Council be wise, it will pause before it countenances the proposition of the Dock Committee to condemn the principle of dock sheds. That principle, we repeat, has never had a chance, and was never intended to have a And if the intended resolution of Mr. Al derman Evans and his friends be successful—and we can scarcely doubt it, for that gentleman seems to have mesmerised or betwitched every Conserva tive cast within his influence—we may bid farewell to the hope of escaping from that dominion, with which the chance Dock Committee has, for the last few years, threaten:sd to override the town, and prepare for a despotism, of which Messrs. Evans and Aikin are to be the Alpha and Omega. THE LIVERPOOL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—TI 32 annual meeting for the show of live stock, agricultural implements, roots, grain, plants, seeds, &c., will be held on Thursday next, in a field at the top of Sackville-street, st- t ' ttos,ommon-street, and will be open to the public gener ally, at a small admission price, from two o'clock. From the fineness of the season the shoW is expected to be one of the most gratitsing ever yet held in this town. The dinner will be held at Lucas's Repositry, at five o'clock, Lord Stanley in the chair—when the prizes will be distri buted, and interesting addresses made by the noble lord , and others, on the present state of agricultural affairs. THE FUNDS —SATURDAY EVEN ING.—The Funds have hardly maintained the prices of yesterday, but this a:)pears to have arisen more tram the little business trans acted than any circumstances connected either with poli tics or the state of the nwuey•mdt het. Consuls fur pre. sent transfer and the account left off at 94i to 95; Ex chequer-bills, 60s. to 628. premium ; New Three-and-a ka' per Cents., 102 to *; and India Bonds, 665. to 68s. In the foreign market th re was no material premium chance in prices. The last quotations were—Belgian, 1041 to 1053; Brazilian, 751 to 763; Danish, 861 to 871; Dutch Two-and-a-Half pgr Cents., 53 to 1 ; the Five per Cents., 1004 to 14 ; Mexican, 34 to 1 ' • the Deferred, 9/ to 4 ; Portuguese, 424 to 31 ; Spanish Actives, 19k to 1; thre Three per Cents., 261 to 4; and Austrian, 114 to 115. SPRING CARTS.—A driver of a spring cart was yes terday fined 40s. at the Police-court, for furiously driving down James's -street, by which his horse trampled on a woman's foot. She did not, however, appear against him. lie was fined 40s. for the furious driving. Mr. Rushton remarked that by law spring carts had nn right to go quicker than others, but as a matter of convenience they were permitted by the police to go faster, proviued they were carefully driven. We cannot help saying that this " permission' beyond the law is often grievously abused. Sluing carts are to be seen on all directions driving down streets and round corners at a mos rate, to the endangerment of all who chance to be near Despatch is all well enough, but safety should be consi dered first. LECTURES ON STEAM, AT THE COLLEGIATE INSTI- TUTION.—R. Addams, Eq., who recently delivered a series of interesting lectures on electricity and magnetism at the Collegiate Institution, gave the first of another series on steam, at the same place, on Tuesday evening and the second on Friday. The effect of his former efforts secured him a most favourable reception from a numerous and respectable audience. He explained the agency of heat in the production of steam—its condensa tion—its elastic force, &c.—showing its agency as a mo tive power—and illustrating the whole by pleasing experi ments. He also explained the several phenomena relating to the ebullition of water in various temperatures, &c. He handled his subject in a very masterly manner through out, and we would counsel all those who desire to possess themselves of a knowledge of steam and the steam-engine, to attend the remaining lectures, which will be even more interesting t GILL. STRET MARKET. —On Saturday last there Wag again a good attendance, and an excellent show of meat, vegetables, fruit, &c., which went off at moderate prices. We noticed present many highly respectable families of the neighbourhood, and though there were rather fewer v'siters than on the first day. those who did appear were ali purchasers. We are now further confirmed in our opinion that this market will shortly require to be ex- ti;lided ; and, if it be possible, we would strongly recom knend that the houses in Pembroke-place should be pur chased and that a main front should be erected to face that street—ten or twelve yards back from the present rails. It would then be an ornament to the town. One or two transparent lamps —one in Great Newton-street, arid the other in (All-street—with the words " Gill-street Mat ket" would be a great improvement, as strangers may ol.erlook it at night. • BAZAAR.—On Tuesday next, and on the two following days a bazaar will be held in the Music Hall, in aid of a fund towards the Ilquidation of the' debt connected with :St, Silas's Church, Pembroke-place, under the distin guished patronage of her Majesty the Queen Dowager, 11,e Night Hon. Lord Stanley, &c. St. Silas's Church is an extremely neat and well-fitted place of worship; and as it has been found to be a great accommodation and ad vantage to the district in which it is situated, we hope and trust that the inhabitants of this town generally will aid the committee in their endeavours to liquidate the debt due, by c intributing articles for sale, and supporting the ,zaar by their attendance as purchasers. We learn that some beautiful works of art have already been contributed, and that many more are in preparation. The arrange ments made to render the Hall attractive are extensive and judicious. By reference to the advertisement in another ccdumn, it will be found that a number of our fair towns , omen of the first respectability are appointed to receive .3mtributions and donations. ' THE WORKHOUSE.—We are going on apace in our Nloption of the cruelties and degradation of our suffering Pauper brethren, attendant upon the iniquitous and un christian new poor-law system. This week, thanks to the incessant persecution of the radical faction in our S- lect Vestry. we have to announce the resignation of Mr. Nightingall, for twenty years past surgeon of our Woric- louse ; and, only let this persecution go on unrepressed, m t we shall see every officer employed under the vestry 'airing in disgust, to escape the annoyance and hutnilia ion of having to submit to the supervision of men, so toperious and oppressive to all around them, as the self . . . led " liberals who have wriggled themselves into authority in our parochial affairs. Can these gentlemen who are everlastingly prating of their zeal for morality and -,! !cation amongst the children in our Workhouse, and intermedling with gallipots and physic, bestow a few , ours, i now and then, upon the tendency of the system, which is beneath their eyes, to oppress their wretched low creatures, and render life less preferable than even n pauper's grave? Will Messrs. Urquhart, Bright, &c., examine the dietary now insisted upon, and the increased hardships imposed upon their suffering fellow townsmen, and inform the world, not how ninny Catechisms there are in the Workhouse schools, but how much added misery there is in the world, arising from the adoption of unctlon, iiep ' now superintend? If these gentlemen do not tbinfc she enquiry worth their mobile, we shall enter upon it ourselves. he Dock ( had to THE HARVEST AND THE CROPS The harvest may be said to be virtually concluded in the north of England, as well as in all the corn districts of Scotland, and never was it better got in. In Scotland, in particular, it is said that such harvest weather has not been experienced since the year 1815. Upon the whole, wheat may be said to be a full average crop, and the pre sent- price, though comparatively low, is kept up solely by the inc:eased consumption arising from the improved con dition of the manufacturing and other industrial classes. Oats and barley are also fair crops, though the former cannot be considered anything extra. The early turnips in this neighbourhood suffered considerably in the dry weather of last month, many of them becoming mildewed, and will not yield so much as was some time before antici pated ; but those late---own promise well for a heavy crop. And if we may judge from the low price of potatoes, they also must be generally abundant. Some have been sold at Burscough Bridge (a great export mart for the article in this county,) at a price too low to be remunerative to the growers. In this town the retail price was on Saturday from 5d to 6d per score. according to quality, which, on the whole, is good ; and when the whole are gathered a reduction will be inevitable. It has been stated, and truly so, that a considerable quantity of the present year's wheat was not found to thrash out so well as was expected. This was the case, however, only with the early harvest in the south, which began rather unpropitiously, the season being rather un kindly towards the close for the ripening of the grain ; but in the midland and northern counties the dry weather came opportunely and was of much advantage. We may there fore safely say that any partial deficiency in quality will be fully made up by the general abundance. In the manufacturing districts, we are happy to say, the population, including artizans, are now all fully employed, and being very numerous and in the receipt of fair wages, the consumption has necessarily greatly increased. But for this fortunate circumstance, we entertain no doubt but that wheat would now have been down to about ss. per bushel,—the price which we assigned, under supposed cir cumstances, some months ago. It was last week in im proved demand, and realized an advance of 2d. to 3d per 701 b. in our market, and a proportionate rise in others. The gradual advance, however. which has been going on will, in all probability, not be maintained. Fine free fo reign wheat has also commanded a better sale, for the pur pose of mixing with the inferior qualities before alluded to. To the same cause to which we have attributed the pre sent rise in wheat, may also be assigned that of butcher's meat a short time ago. No sooner were the manufactur ing operatives, mechanics, arid other labourers put into full employment (after being long out of work and in destitu tion,) than, from the demand from so large a body, meat rose about Id. per lb. The undeniable inference is, that the prosperity of our farmers is closely interwoven with that of our manufacturers, and that their best policy is mutual encouragement and forbearance. LIT'P,RARY NOTICES. Hints for Pedestrians, practical and medical, by Medi cus, with illustrations. London: Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. ; and Tegg. Edinburgh : Black. Dublin : Curry. Liverpool: Grapel. The excellent little work before us, having originally appeared in our columns, we are, in ordinary modesty, prohibited from speaking of it so flatteringly as we could have wished, and as its real merits deserve. To those however of our readers, who have only perused it hitherto in its disjointed parts, as a newspaper contribution, we must in all truth and sincerity recommend a perusal of the whole in its present collected shape. To the pedes trian, especially, we can give our assurance that such a perusal, and the treasuring up of many a valuable hint, medi cal as well as practical. which it affords, will afford benefit, comfort, and the source of pleasure, in the pursuit of that healthful exercise. by which body and mind are alike recreated and refreshed. An ordinary road book this is not. A dry medical thesis it is not. The practical philosopher, the medical adviser, the poet, the man of taste, and the lover of nature in her purest forms and h-r beauty are combined in our " Medicos." From the cut ting of a corn to the cut of a shoe or a coat ; from the most insignificant detail of pedestrianism to tnat more valuable philosophy which draws the wind of the world wearied and care-laden From nature up to nature's God." we are rendered au fait by this valuable little brochure. A vast fund of information is opened to us—some of it not of every day access—some of it the fruit of extensive research—all of it indicative of good taste, and a pure and virtuous heart. As a medical work, we are not, of course, competent to express our opinion of it. That portion of it we leave to the criticism of the medical press. Of the value of its practical hints, however, we have already had some little experience ; and we can con fidently say that they will be found conducive to the health and comfort of every pedestrian who may be in duced to act upon them, and of some who can scarcely aspire to such a title. The work is neatly got up, and the illustrations most pertinent and graphic. To those of our readers who are labouring under those impediments to locomotion— corns—we can especially recommend it. The ridding of a man's feet of these prsts, which our Doctor enables us to effect, is worth a hundred times the value of his " hints for pedestrians" or all the works, medical or otherwise, which any disciple of Esculap►us ever perpe trated. The Test : a collection of Poems and Minor Pieces. By Robert G►bbs Jackson. Liverpool: Henry Ferris, enorrh.ct In this age of utilitarianism, when the utile is every where preferred to the dulce, and every critical blockhead aspires to be superior to Apollo and more tuneful than the Muses, and deems arithmetic more interesting than all the polite arts, he is a bold man who puts his name to the foot of a stanza, and a desperate man who puolishes a volume. The author of the unpretending little work be fore us has dared the worst of the dangers incident to versemongcrs. He has written and published too ; and, in the dearth of tood for the critical roan, has been as handsomely pulled to pieces as need be. Poet or not poet, Mr. Jackson's modest tribute has been mauled in proportion► to the inveteracy of his political cen sors (fur he happens to be of conservative principles) and the dulness and stupidity of the various scribblers wtio have anatomised his little volume. Men live, however, after Leing laughed at. Poets have their revenge in after days over their stuoid traducers. And the author of " the Test" can afford to smile at the stilted sillinesses and envious malignity of the twaddling people who have done " All that things so insignificant could," to sneer him, or to crush him into silence. And now to our own opinion of Mr. Jackson's little volume. We would not wish him to believe tnat he is a poet likely to startle out of its propriety this dull unpoe tic age. He is wanting in many of the qualities of the true poet. He wants fire, and brilliancy of language and conception. Somewhat, too, of the mechanical part of the poet's trade he wants. But throughout the whole of his present volume, there is displayed an amiability of feeling, and a correct conception of the beautiful in na ture and in thought, which do honour to h m, and eoa.,le us to read with pleasure his effusions. We repeat, he is ot, mezhanically, a poet. Intellectually, however, he has some claims to the title; and, at all events, be is not of that insipid namby-pamby school, whose verses—we can not call them poetry—flow from the memory, or a diseased taste, rather than from the heart. Independently too of merely abstract criticism, Mr. Jackson's publica tion is one which it is pleasing to read and to reflect upon. It is the effort of a man, immersed in the business of life, to strew flowers upon its thorny way—to gather pearls and roses from the midst of barrenness ;—and it is cha racterized throughout by a purity snd piety of feeling which, if they earn not for its author the wreath of a suc cessful wooer of the muses, at least give him a title to be looked upon as an estimable and amiable member of society. NEW MAGAZINE.—A new weekly periodical has just made its appearance, edited by Mr. Chapman, of the Sunday Times. It is called Chapman's Weekly Maga zine. Some of the first lilteraleurs of the day are en gaged as contributor s, amongst whom are the Countess of Blessington, J. Sheridan Knowles, Lennart ltede, and Buckstone.—lt contains some capital contributions. A LETTER ON THE CORN LAWS.—.We perceive that Mr. Hubback of this town, is publishing in the form of a pamphlet the letter on the Corn Laws, which appeared in the Morning Herald, two or three weeks since. He has appended to it a number of miscellaneous remarks n " favour of the protective system" and has also added several very important tabular documents illustrative and in support of the arguments advanced. We have received a copy of the proof sheets, hut have not had an opportu• nity of considering maturely what Mr. Ilubback has brought before us. A youth, the son of Mr. R. Perris, Jervis-street, and in the employment of Mt. Percival, Duke-street, whilst in the act of cleaning one of the attic windows, which not being secured with a sash cord came down, when the boy, to save his fingers, loosed his hold, and, losing his balance, was precipitated into the flagged yard below. Although much stunned by the fall, strange to say, he has not a limb broken, and, with the exception of a few bruises, is comparatively little hurt. He is much shaken, but is now fast recovering. SMUGGLING CASES. — Yesterday, at the Police -court, a steward of an American ship, named Plass, was brought before Mr. Rushton, for having been found smuggling on shore about 41b. of foreign manufactured tobacco. lie w4s fined 605., or to be imprisoned 21 days.—James Melliday, for smuggling nearly 41bs. of s'milar tobacco, was fined 205., or seven day's imprisonment.—A female named Haughey, was charged with coming on shore from another ship, with nibs. of the same article. It was found behind her shoulders, under her gown. She was fined 40s. We understand she had been in service in New York for ten years, and had amassed the sum of £7B, with which she was returning to Ireland.—James Crosby, apparently a mate, was also brought up fof smuggling llb. of cigars. He was fined 205., or to be imprisoned seven days. UNFOUNDED CHARGE OF ROBBING A CHILD.-At the police-court yesterday, a very young and pret►y girl, respectably attired, (whose name we did not ascertain,) was charged by a Jew namod Edward Marks. with steah. log some beads from the neck of one of his children. He said he sent his two children out to walk, one of them 5i years old, and the other 21, and rambled into a long stns y with the haw of proving that the prisoner had stolen the beads from the child's neck, which were afterwards found in the child's own hand. He did not himself see the girl take them from her neck—nor any one else. A sister of the prisoner stated that they were together; that they saw the child, who was crying f. , r her beads, and that her sis ter found them aid gave them into her hand. There wa, not the slighte6t proof against the prisoner, and she was discharged. Mr. Marks went out of court apparently much displeased, and %ainly reiterating his charge to p,n. cure a conviction.
