AN INTREPID THIEF-TAKER.—A young girl 16 years of age was bargaining for a joint of fresh pork on Sunday last at the market of the Prouvaires, when she felt a jerk 'at her right-hand pocket, in which was a sf. piece. She instantly put out her hand and grasped that of a young man who was nearest to her in the throng. On being called upon to explain his conduct, he replied with the utmost sangfroid, that he had only replaced In the pocket of the young girl a handker chief which had fallen out of it. " But where is my sf. piece?" asked the grisette. " I know nothing of it, " replied the stranger, touching at the same time the hand of an accomplice who forthwith took to his heels; " if your money has been stolen it must be by the person who has just run away." " No matter," replied the young heroine, seieing her robust antagonist by the collar, " I will not let you go, and if it is your accomplice who has picked my pocket I will avenge myself upon you. " No sooner said than done. She forth with conducted the " picker up of stray handkerchiefs, " amidst the cheers of the populace, before the nearest magis trates, where, being recognized as a professed thief, he was taken to the Prefecture of Police.—Le Commerce. DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.—Thursday morning, about half past twelve o'clock, the brig Thomas Oliver, 230 tons burden, of and f rom S un d er l an d to L on d on, w i t h coa l s, J o h n Mill s , master, r struck on the B a th H ouse S a nd, in com i ng to lee war, with the w i n d bl ow i ng a ga l e f rom th e sout h. Th e per ii us situation of the vessel caused the greatest anxiety and excitement in the town for the lives of the crew, the sea breaking over her top-gallant masts. The first attempt' to manly efforts proved abortive.made b rescue the poor fellows . was theiry A a la P r a g k e eti s e k l i d ff yawl, w launched from Lowestoft also but beach, but a strong ebb tide pre vented their reaching the ve sse l. Af ter some d e l ay , th e Lowestoft life-boat was manned by a gallant crew, and launched, with great risk of life, through a mountainous sea, assisted by a vast number of the inhabitants. On nearing the vessel, she brought up to wind ard, by s te er i ng as near to her as practicable, i n th e midst of ' erhaps the most awful sea ever witnessed by the oldest inhabitant ) of this town. The i m ost breathless anxiety w as manifeste every i: eye on shore for the safety of the crew of th e life -boat, as well as of that of the brig; but a provident hand was over A communication was dexterously effected with the e r them. vessel, and seven human beings were rescued from a watery grave, by being hauled through a raging surge on board the r li v fe e : boat, which was, at this period, overwhelmed by su • ccessive seas, which filled her, and caused her anchor to come home ; this obliged the crew, for the preservation of their own lives and those they had rescued, to cut adrift, leaving one poor fellow still on board. The life-boat reached the shore, and brought the sufferers in safety, amidst the hearty cheering of almost the entire population of the town. The poor fellow left on board was afterwards saved by the brave crew of the Paketield life-boat, which was in attendance near the vessel during the rescue of the other seamen.—Suffolk Herald. Our attention has been called to the extraordinary number of dissolutions of partnership which appear in the two last numbers of the London Gazette, and we have made reference to those of the corresponding dates in the two preceding years. It thence appears that the dissolutions advertised in this week's Gazette, of 1840, amounted to 51 ; in 1841, to 61; and in the present year, to 101. DR. PUSEY.-It will be remembered that this divine during a short stay in Dublin a few months since, was present at a popish chapel during the celebration of high mass. Being severely reproved for this, Dr. Pusey, whilst ad knitting his presence in the chapel, denied that he " adored the Holy Eucharist." In reply to this, Dr. Clancy, who styles himself " Bishop of Oriense, and Vicar Apostolic of British Guiana," and who also was in the chapel with Dr. Pusey, gives the following description of the mode in which the latter conducted himself:—" As I did not send my episcopal dress, I retired to the extremity of the chapel, in my ordinary costume ; and, from an elevation in the floor, had a tolerably good view of this most interesting ceremony. I found a Roman Catholic priest with Dr. Pusey in the same place ; the former directing his attention occasionally to the ritual which explained the ceremony. During the entire time of the exposition and benediction of the Holy Eucharist, I knelt next by the side of Dr. Pusey; and I do most re spectfully beg leave to remind the learned divine that he, the said Dr. Pusey, not only knelt on both knees reverently, but meditated, with his hand on his forehead, devoutedly during the entire period of the public adoration of the blessed sacrament. 1 can also truly add, that I observed Dr. Pusey, much to my edification, profoundly bow his head whenever the sacred name of Jesus was mentioned by the archbishop. Ecclesia non judicat de internis' is a maxim well known in Catholic theology. lam not disposed to violate either the spirit or the letter of the sentence. lam logician enough to know that external signs are not necessarily expressive of our inward feelings or judgments; but if I had not been in formed that the solemn worshipper, on his knees before the Blessed Eucharist in that Roman Catholic chapel, was not a Protestant of the Anglican denomination, I should have con cluded, from appearances that he was a priest, or a very fer vent Catholic layman. Kneeling in a meditative posture, in presence of the Eucharist, exposed on a public Roman Catholic altar or tabernacle, and in presence of a congrega tion, is, in my humble judgment, ordinarily speaking, 'an act implying adoration;' and is, certainly, rather a novel mode of disclaiming the adoration in it.'

They greatly influence the secretion of bile, and act with certainty and in the most effectual manner on the alimentary organs, without occasioning pain or irritation. I consider them a most excellent family aperient medicine, which may be taken at all times with perfect safety." They are prepared by James COCKLE, Surgeon Extraor dinary to Her Serene Highness the late LANDGRAVINE of HESSE HOMBURG, and may be had of all respectable Medi cine Venders, in boxes, at 25., 9d., and 4s. tid.

The last arrival from India brought the intelligence that, consequent on certain reductions made in the tribute paid to the Eastern Ghilzie tribes, for keeping open the passes be tween Cabul and Jellalabad, the people rose and took posses sion of the said passes; and that thereupo❑ General Sale's brigade, which had been under orders for the provinces, was sent out to drive them from their position, and to re-open the communication. This, however, was an arduous duty, and attended with serious •loss on our side. The brigade fought its way to Gundamuck, much harassed by the enemy from the high ground on either side of the passes, and after 18 days, during which our men were almost incessantly en gaged, they reached the above place, much shattered and exhausted, and thence, after further annoyances from the enemy, moved upon Jellalabad.* In the mean time, whilst Sale's force was at Gundamuck —on the 2nd of November—an alarming insurrection broke out at Cabul. Singular to relate, it was so wholly unex pected, that letters written on the preceding day by the en voy and minister speak of affairs being in a prosperous condition, and everything quiet and peaceful at the capital. He himself (Sir". H. Macnaghten), was about to leave Cabul at that very time, to proceed with all haste to Bombay, to assume the governorship of that presidency. The occupa tion of the Koord Cabul pass, and the subsequent opposition which General Sale had met with, bad ceased to cause any anxiety, as it was supposed that the insurgents to the east ward had been effectually put down. But in the midst of this supposed security the storm broke over Cabul with terrific fury. As far as we can gather from the disjointed accounts which have just reached us (for the communication between Cabul and India is still cut off,) the first manifestation of the popu lar anger consisted in a murderous assault on a party of our officers, who were then leaving the Durbar. Sir A. Burnes, his brother, Lieutenant C. Burnes, and Lieutenant Broad foot, of the European Regiment, were massacred; and another officer, Lieutenant Sturt, of the Engineers, cut down in the very presence of Shah Soojah himself. Soon the whole city was up in arms, the bazaars were plundered, the houses of our officers ransacked and their property destroyed, the Treasury pillaged, and other depredations committed in the town, whilst another large party, chiefly Kuzzilbashes, we believe, attacked the British cantonments, which are situated about two miles from the town. The rebels are said to have declared one of Shah Zemaun's sons king, but whether the outbreak originated in the intrigues of this party, or whether it was a religious movement, having for its end the extermi nation of the British, is not very clearly known ; but the re bellion was of the most alarming character, for the whole population were up in areas against us, and our troops being divided—a portion of them in the cantonments, a portion of them in the Balah Hissar—and the enemy holding the town, which lies between two positions, we could make but little stand against the heavy current of the insurgents. The rebellion, at the date of the last advices received from Cabul, for one or two Cossids had made good their way to Peshawar, bad raged during seventeen days, but the force of it was unbroken. We cannot pretend to give anything like a circumstantial narrative of the events of those days, for we have nothing beyond fragments of intelligence, which it is difficult to put together, iii due consecutive course. The British force at Cabul was weak, and the enemy most multitudinous. Several engagements had taken place, and our troops had distinguished themselves on various occasions, but all to very little purpose. The enemy, unfortanately, at an early stage, got possession of the Commissariat godowns—two horse artillery guns had been sent to their defence, but the ammunition failing, the stores were captured. Two of the Shah's guns were also taken by the enemy and turned againsfour party, and one of our mag azines destroyed. On the 18th the insurrection, in spite of a partial victory achieved by us a few days before, was at its height, and, though there seemed at one time :some little hope of the Ghilzie portion of the confederacy being brought over to our side, at the date of the last intelligence affairs were still wearing a fearful aspect. We are not only beset with enemies on every side but our troops are sadly straitened for supplies. Whilse these sad events :were befalling us at the capital, our principal outposts were being attacked by the enemy. Charekur, which is to be the north of Cabul, was besieged, and the single corps there posted, the Shah's 4th Regiment, after a gallant defence, cut to pieces. All the officers attached to it, with exception of one who escaped, severely wounded, were killed, and Lieutenant Rattray, the Political Agent at Kohistan, fell there also. About this same time, Captain Woodburn, with a party of 120 men, was proceeding from Ghuznee to Cabul, when he fell in with a large body of in surgents, and the whole of his little band were massacred. Ali Musjid and Pesh Bolak, which lie on the eastern front of Affghanistan, between Peshawar and Jellalabad, were attacked also, but with no calamitous result ; and Ghuznee, only garrisoned by a single regimen:, has been beleaguered by the enemy, but although evil reports are rife concerning it, we may hope that it is yet secure. In this posture of affairs, a brigade from Candahar has been sent, under Colo nel Maclaren, to the relief of Cabul—an ill-judged and im politic measure, for it could scarcely, under any circum- I stances, reach its destination in time to render the required assistance, and it is apprehended that the brigade, marching at such a season of the year, and through a line of country beset by our enemies, will be exposed to a series of disasters, fatal perhaps to the entire force. In addition to this the weakening of the Candahar post is in itself a measure fraught with danger. At the date of the last advices from that quarter all was quiet, but it was feared that the departure of half of the force to the northward would be a signal to the Westetn Ghilzies to revolt. Whichever way we look beyond the Indus, clouds are bursting over our heads, and it is impossi ble to regard the present aspect of affairs without the most painful apprehensions. Strong reinforcements are now being sent from the provinces, but they have a long and wearisome march before them, and it is scarcely to be ex. pected that they will penetrate further than Peshawar before their progress is checked by the snows of winter. The dis asters which we have detailed above could not have occurred at a more unfavourable season ; for, indepe n d en t o f w h at we have to apprehend from the fury of an entire populace in arms against us, our troops, cut off from all ready means of supply, are doomed, we fear, to suffer much from a want of food, as well as from a want of fuel, which, during a Cabul winter, will be severely felt by all, and especially by the Hindostan soldiery, who are but little inured to the rigours of the north. God grant that next month we may have more favourable intelligence to communicate; our prospects seem at present gloomy e nough, but, under Providence, the shattered bark will right itself, and we shall then put to sea again, with added knowledge and experience, having marked down on our chart the rocks and whirlpools to be avoided in our course. Danger there always will, and always must be, for the venture we have undertaken is in it se lf a d angerous one ; but much of the evil which is now befalling us, we have cut out for ourselves, and it is probable that the country, under a wiser administration, may yet be reduced to—a Roman peace. It is gratifying to be able to turn away from this distress ing picture to the contemplation of our renewed success in China under the new directorship. Since the departure of the Elliots, affairs have prospered in that direction. The fleet has been moving on steadily to the northward, victorious at every stage. In our last, we noticed th a t A moy h a d f a ll en ; and since we began to write, official intelligence of the re occupation of Chusan, on the Ist of O cto b er, an d o f t h e reduction and occupation, on the 10th and 13th of the same month, of the cities of Chinhae and Ningpo has been re ceived. Chusan, since our abandonment of it, had been greatly strengthened by the Chinese, and a formidable line of defences erected, but by the gallantry and energy of our naval and military forces, the city of Ting-hai was captured in an incredibly short space of time, the enemy put to flight in every direction, and a provisional government established on the island. Similar success attended our movements on Chinhae ; and at Ningpo the place was undefended, the Chinese soldiery having already had enough of warfare with the " white devils," and positively refusing to face us again. Burmese affairs are nearly in the same position as they were in last month. We have intelligence from Mou:mein to the 6th instant, but nothing had been done. Thatawaddie was still at Rangoan—some said that he was going back to his capital immediately ; others said that he was not ; but he was evidently little inclined to force us into a war, and we are still less inclined to force him. The alarm, however, which his majesty's movements have created is greatly a matter of regret, and it is naturally asked, whence originated the fears of Government which have impelled them to fit out at a heavy cost a large armament, and that too at a time when the exhausted state of our resources called for the most careful husbandry ? It is said that a portion of the force now off Moulmein will be ordered anon to join the China expedition, and it is certain that reinforcements must be sent in that direction, for every new capture weakens the original force, and now that we have Hongkong, Amoy, Chusan, Tinghae; and Ningpo in our possession, we must be somewhat crippled in our means of carrying out the further objects of the expedition. There is a loud call for " more troops" from almost every quarter, and it must be replied to from home by a considerable extension of the Indian ar my. This measure, so often urged upon the home govern ment, cannot now be delayed with safety to their possessions. * At the date of the last advices, the 27th of November Sale's brigade was in perfect security, and well supplied at Jellalabad. They had moved out on the 15th, and routed a large body of the enemy, amounting, it is said, to 5,000. EXECUTION OF JOHN DELAHUNT DUBLIN, FEB. s.—This miserable young man, who com mitted one of the most diabolical murders that ever disgraced any country, was this day executed in front of Kilmainham gaol. The wretched criminal slept well last night, and rose at six o'clock this morning, when he prayed, and also employed his time in meditation. At nine o'clock he ate a hearty break fast. His animal propensities must have been very strong, for he dined well yesterday, supped well, slept well last night, and breakfasted heartily this morning! His fear of death does not appear to spring from any punishment re sulting from his crimes in another world, but from a horrorof the scorn and exultation of the crowd, and the disgrace which his crimes and ignominous death will necessarily entail upon his family. At 12 o'clock the criminal was led from the chapel. He. was so feeble that one of the clergyman by whom he was accompanied, and the hangman, were obliged to support and lead him along by either hand. He was instantly led to the scaffold, and placed upon it. The hangman, whose face was covered with a white cloth, with small holes cut in it to ena ble him to see, enveloped his head in a covering similar to that worn by himself. During this ceremony the officiating priest read prayers, i n w hi c h the culprit joined. Towards the close of the meditation he became very faint, and fell upon his knees, in which position he remained till the bolt was withdrawn, a n d h e was l aunc hed into eternity. A few muscular contractions were all the indications of suffering observable in his death. Never was terror more depicted in a human countenance than in his—pallid and death-like; and his frame, which was slight and weakly, exhibited the feelings of horror and fear with which he awaited his execu tion. When he appeared upon the drop a slight murmur ran through the crowd—not of indignation—not of scorn—not of pity—it partook of something of a religious character—it was like a murmur of prayer. There was no shout—no outrage —notrage —no violence: the populace were better behaved on . this oc casion than on any within our remembrance. The time re quired by law (40 minutes) for the body of the culprit to re main suspended having expired, it was c ut down forinter ment within the precints of the prison. The wretched man has made a written confession, in which he denies positively having had any hand with the murder of the Italian boy, and that what he swore against Cooney and his wife was false, and was alleged in the hopes of ootaining a a reward. With reference to the murder of the boy Ma guire, he made the following heart - rending disclosure : " I do now confess that the hope of getting again i n t o th e pay of the castle was my strong m otive for committing the deed. I thought I could fix it upon some one in the course of time, and if I had succeeded, I don't knok but I might have done a similar deed again had my conscience yielded to a similar temptation. I kept him nearly half an hour in the lane. He twice asked me was I corning home soon, as his mother would be beating him. I said I was waiting for a jaunting-car. He spent part of the time sitting in the come at the stable d oor , on a h ea p of dung or litter heaped outside. I was then turning in my mind how I could best cut his throat. He stood up then by my side. I felt his throat, and asked had he lumps in his throat. He made no reply. After some minutes 1 again felt his throat with my left hand, having the knife in my right hsnd ready ; my righi hand was then in my coat poc k et , w hen I asked him a second time had he lumps in his throat, and began again to feel him; he raised up his head to let me feel more easily. His back was tben to me, and at th a t m oment, while he was in that position, with his head drawn back, I cut his throat and threw him from me. Ile fell on his face. He uttered no cry, nor did he make any noise whatever." THEATRE-ROYAL, LIVERPOOL. UNDER Tr] E MANAGEMENT OF Messrs. J. H. ANDERSON and W. J.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. A member of parliament desirous of being relieved from the duties imposed upon him, accepts the stewardship of the chiltern hundreds, and the holding of that office disquali fies him from being a member of the House of Commons. We have no doubt, from our experience of the sentiments of • C., that his letter will appear on Friday, but we had not time last night to peruse it, as it only reached the office at ten o'clock. THE NOMINATION THIS MORNING. We shall give, in a Second Edition, a full report of the speeches delivered at the nomination this morning, to gether with a detailed account of the procession and of every particular connected with this expected Conservative triumph. The report will, we hope, he ready at twelve o'clock. THE CORN LAWS. Sir ROBERT PEEL will to-morrow evening detail the intentions of Government with reference to this im portant question ; and, as most intense anxiety is evinced to ascertain the fullest particulars of the measure which the right honourable baronet will bring forward, we purpose giving, in the STANDARD of Friday next, a full report of the speeches in the debate. Ebe Ziforrpoot &tanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 8, 1849 On this day, for the first time within our memory, a Conservative member will be elected for the Borough of Liverpool—without opposition ! Can there, we ask, be any more triumphant proof of the ascendancy amongst us of constitutional and loyal principles, and the hopeless prostration of Whig-Radicalism than this one fact presents ? Surely there cannot. Parliament has at length assembled ; the Royal Speech has been spoken; and the Conservative Go vernment of Sir Robert Peel has addressed itself in earnest to the task of providing a remedy for the so cial, commercial, and financial disorganization into which ten years of Whig legislation have plunged this great community. By this time the nature of tho po licy of Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues, as deve loped in the speech which they have placed in the mouth of her Majesty and in the debate upon the ad dress, is before the country ; and meagre with respect to detail as is the information which is thus conveyed, devoid of all flattering promise, backed by no rhetori cal flourish, and without those specious generalities upon which enthusiasm and unstable hopes are too of ten founded, we venture to say that this mere indica tion has created in the public mind a greater degree of sober confidence than was ever felt by any people ia the honesty and ability of any administration. The suffering of every class—and how minierous are they ? feel now the gratifying assurance that, for the first time since the passing of the reform bill, the country is about to be governed ! We shall not attempt to speculate upon the details of the measures which have been, thus far, announced by Sir Robert Peel as ready to be brought before Par liament. 'We take the opportunity, however, of stat ing, briefly, what are their subjects. On Friday even ing Lord Stanley, the Secretary of State for the Colo nial Department, moved for leave to bring in a bill " to regulate the carriage of passengers by merchant ves sels ;" on the same night the same noble lord moved for leave to bring in a bill "regulating the survey and sale of land belonging to the Crown in the Australian colonies and New Zealand." The object of both these measures is to protect emigrants from Great Britain from the frauds and cruelty which are perpetrated upon them under the present ill-regulated system; and the views laid before the house by the noble lord with re spect to their principle were received with very general satisfaction. To-night Lord Stanley will move for leave to introduce a bill to make provision for the sa laries of bishops in Jamaica, Barbadoes, and the Lee ward Isles, and to define more strictly their several dioceses. On the same evening the Vice-President of the Board of Trade will move for leave to bring in a bill " to amend and consolidate the laws relating to the trade of the British possessions in the colonies, and also to make certain alterations in the duties at present chargeable on imports from thence." He will move also for leave to introduce a measure for the better re gulation of railways. To-morrow Sir Robert Peel will open the momentous question of the Cott); LAWS, with a view to its settlement. On the 15th instant the Chancellor of the Exchequer will call the attention of the house to the subject of the late frauds connected with the issue of Exchequer bills and on the 17th Lord Granville Somerset will move for leave to bring in a bill for the better regulation of lunatic asylums. Upon all these subjects—and how important many of them are we need not say—Sir Robert and his col leagues are prepared with well-digested and detailed measures, which have received the sanction of a una nimous cabinet. The country has now the satisfaction of knowing that the period which has elapsed since the close of the last session, and which the Whig Radical party would have had spent in useless and exciting de clamation—in wailing over misery instead of devising measures for its relief—has been employed by the pre sent administration in a careful and searching investi gation of the sources and nature of the evils which afflict the country, and in the preparation of safe, de tailed, and, we trust, efficacious remedies. In addition, however, to these practical measures, we have the assurance given us in the speech from the Throne and, in the course of the debate upon the ad dress, by Sir Robert Peel himself, that ministers are prepared with a financial measure to equalize the in come and the expenditure of the country; that our present commercial tariff is about to undergo a tho rough revision; that extensive measures of legal re form have been matured, and will be brought forward at an early date ;—in fine, that the age of quackery in legislation has gone by; that the Parliament of the united kingdom is assembled to do, and not merely to talk; and that we have now at length, what for ten years we hate not had—A GOVERNMENT ! The pressing necessity which has long existed for the adoption of vigorous and stringent measures, to regu late the system upon which emigration from Great Bri tain to her distant colonies has been of late conducted, will readily be acknowledged ; and by none more readily than by those who have been accustomed to watch its operation in our own port. We believe that, upon the average, fully one-half, or even more, of the 100,000 persons who yearly emigrate from their fatherland to seek, in the wilds of Canada, in the United States, or in Australia, that peace and comfort which Great Bri tain has ceased to afford them, are shipped from Liver pool; and it has often shocked us to witness the state of wretchedness and unprotected destitution in which they leave our shores, and to contemplate the disap pointment and misery which await them upon their ar rival, if they ever reach it, in the land of their destina tion, which hope or interested villany have painted in such flattering colours From the very hour that these poor creatures leave their cherished home,—amongst the bogs or the moun tains of Ireland, in the green wallies of England, or amid the densely thronged population of our manu facturing towns and villages—the feet of the spoiler pursue them to the hour of their embarkation, to snatch from them, shilling by shilling, the wretched pittance, the produce of the sale of their little farm stead or fireside, upon which they rely to hear them to the unknown land which they seek. Fraud surrounds them on every side. The wily " crimp" dogs them at every step. The specious "agent" pours his flat tering tale into ears ignorant of his practices—holds up a glittering picture to eyes which cannot see the empti ness which is beyond it—and, in nine cases out of ten, the wretched victim never learns that he has been duped and plundered until he is thrown penniless and helpless upon a foreign shore ;—unless, indeed, which is no rare occurrence, he is awakened from his delu sion by the discomforts which he experiences, or by the exhaustion of his slender stock of provisions du ring his long and tedious passage. 'l'o provide a remedy for this state of things, which we need not more particularly describe, and to afford an effectual protection to the poor emigrant from the villany of the land-sharks by whom he is surrounded, is the object of the measures which the Colonial Se cretary brought before the House of Commons on Friday. Upon the score of humanity," alone, those measures are urgently called for; and we trust that no fear of making them too stringent will interfere to pre vent the legislature from making them effectual to re press the evil against which they are directed. The appointment of a government inspector of emigration in the various ports, by the act of 1833, of which Lord Stanley himself was the author, has to some extent checked the malpractices previously existing. Fraud and dishonesty, however, though cloaked more sedu lously, are still rife throughout the system; and his lordship, we are satisfied, will not stop short until it is thoroughly reformed. Of a similar nature, and with the same object in view, is the measure introduced by his lordship for the survey and sale of lands belonging to the Crown, in Australia and New Zealand. If it is desirable that persons about to emigrate should be placed out of the power of deceit and imposition, before embarking from this country, it is equally desirable that they should not be misled with respect to the qualities, the location, and the cost of the land which they set out to colo nise. Under a just and wise system of management, Great Britain holds in her colonial possessions the means of settling annually, in comfort and prosperity, countless thousands of her surplus population, of em ploying to advantage her surplus industry and capi tal, and of founding vast markets for the employment of her suffering people at home. In thoSe particular colonies to which the present measure of Lord Stanley is directed, we possess already the nucleus of a vast amount of future benefit to the commerce and industry of Great Britain. From New South Wales alone—we quote his lordship's figures—the exports in 1835 amounted to £682,000 ; in 1840 they had increased to £1,251,000. The imports of the same colony, two thirds of which were of British manufacture, were, in 1835, £727,000; in 1840 they had increased to £2,606,000! In 1830 New South Wales exported to this country, of wool alone, 900,000 lbs; in 1836 the export of the same article had risen to 3,611,000 lbs.; and in 1840 it amounted to 7,660,960 lbs. ! The im portance to Great Britain of possessions thus growing in productive and consuming power, even under the disadvantages of a vicious administration of their re sources, which has deterred rather than encouraged the transport of additional capital and industry from this country for their developement, must be suffici ently obvious ; and it is therefore with pleasure that we see a statesman, such as Lord Stanley, directing the energies of his powerful mind to the task of removing the obstacles which intervene to shut us out from the full benefits which possessions so valuable are calcu lated, in due time, to confer upon our country. Such measures, effectual and practical in their cha racter we look for at the hands of Lord Stanley. We look for the developement of the colonial resources of the empire, than which, we have ever maintained in the columns of this journal, no more efficacious and permanent remedy exists for the state of disorganiza tion and suffering in which Great. Britain is unhappily plunged. In her colonies, greater in extent and in popu lation—greater in their fertility too—than those of all the world besides, this country surely possesses " ample verge and scope enough" for the employment of her redundant population—for the exercise of all her in dustry and energy, vast though they are ; and we ask only that the efforts of our government should be di rected to promote the growth, in prosperity and strength, of those noble possessions ; that the foster ing hand and the watchful eye of the legislature should be extended over them ; that the fertilizing stream of industry and capital should be permitted to flow to wards them, and be protected and guarded in its flow; and, if such things be, we fear not for the prosperity and the happiness of " Old England"—the centre and the source of their strength—the mighty heart, from which emanates the vivifying blood which is destined ultimately to infuse life, health, and the blessings of civilization into a yet unpeopled world. At a late hour last night that unhappy Radical, Mr. William Rathbone, in the name of the Reform Asso ciation, placarded the walls of the borough with a state ment of their reasons for not venturing to contest the representation at the present election. That pure body having, in 1830, by their own confession, bribed hea vily the poor freemen of this town, and having expended some thousands in the vain attempt to foist a repre sentative of their own pure principles upon the borough last year, have at length been seized with a holy horror of the evils of bribery, and are unwilling, by an oppo sition to Sir Howard Douglas, " to gratify the venal constitr:,ency of the Borough of Liverpool, by the ex penditure of money, which must he the result." Pure souls ! how we pity the unhappy state of mind from which has emanated this atrabilious effusion ! Radicalism could not for once lie down quietly, and allow the ascendant principle of loyalty to assert its supremacy in the borough, without this sneaking at tempt to spit its venom upon those whose only crime it is that they are disgusted with its corruption, and will not be seduced to listen to its hollow pretensions. The loyal freemen of Liverpool, against whom, in espe cial, the fierce hate of Liberalism is directed, can well afford to despise its libels upon their character, and to compassionate the pitiable condition of the opponent which can descend to assail them with these handfuls of the mud into which they are fallen. Poor Radica lism ! STATE OF TRADE, COMMERCE, &c The demand for cotton during the last few days has been rather animated ; and up to the close of Friday's market the sales for the week amounted to 29,710 bales. On Saturday the same lively tone prevailed ; consumers, exporters, and specu lators all purchasing freely at about Ad. advance upon the prices of the early part of the week, the sales amounting to about 6000 bales. Yesterday, 5000 bales were purchased for consumption, in some instances, however, on rather easier terms, caused, perhaps, by holders having been induced by the improved rates of the proceeding few days to bring their stocks into the market. The business, however, closed with a healthy and steady feeling. For manufactured goods the market continues wholly with out animation. The home trade is exceedingly depressed, and the little that is doing with the shippers, who are principally the Dutch and Greeks, is at very low rates. The stocks of merchants are, however, very light ; but a general disinclination exists to enter into large engagements before the intentions of Sir Robert Peel's government are known somewhat more in detail than they can be gathered from her Majesty's speech. We cannot tell what private advices may have come by the overland mail to effect this market. So far, however, as we can judge, from the news furnished a very us the public journals, we do not antici p ate anything of favourable nature from that quarter. THE KING OF P RUSS IA.—The . Protestant A ssoc i at i on of Manchester presented a memorial to the King of Prussia, on his recent visit to this country. LOCAL NEWS. ROYAL INSTITUTION SOIREE.—This evening the third of the series of the soirees at this institution will take place. The lecture, which will be the leading feature of the evening, is upon acoustics, and will be delivered by Mr. Add a m s , one of the most popular lecturers of the day. It is expected that the soiree will be very well attended. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday last, as one of the workmen employed at the Collegiate Institution was engaged at the building, a brick from an upper wall fell upon him. He was knocked down insensible, and died in about an hour. MR. Loymt.—We believe that there is not a word of truth in the statement, that Mr, Lover (the author of Andy Handy,) has appeared at the Birmingham stage and failed. Mr. Lover has not the least intention of donning the buskin. The report has originated with some fanciful penny a liner. We understand that his Majesty the King of Prussia havinc , expressed a desire to see a converted Jewish clergy man of the church of England; our townsman the Rev. H. S. Joseph was sent for, and formed one of the deputation from the London Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews, which waited upon, and was introduced to his Majesty. THE ASSIZES.—The paragraph quoted by us from the London papers, and inserted last week, respecting the northern circuit, appears to be incorrect—at least as regards Lancas ter and Liverpool. The Lancaster Gazette states from an official source, that the Lancaster assizes are fixed for the 26th instant, and those for Liverpool for the 19th of next month. Mr. Justice Wightinan will be the sole judge at Lancaster, hearing both civil and criminal cases. At Liver pool, Mr. Serjeant Atcherly will act as assistant judge. It appears then Mr. Justice Cresswell will not go the circuit on this occasion. PRAYERS FOR ROYALTY.—By an order in council, dated "at the court, at Buckingham Palace, the 2d February," it is directed that, in future, on all occasions of Divine ser vice, "where the royal family is appointed to he particularly prayed for, the following form and order shall be observed — namely, `Adelaide. the Queen Dowager, the Prince Albert, Albert, Prince of Wales, and all the royal family.' " MR. JUSTICE CRESSW ELL—AN EXAMPLE WORTH FOL LOWING.—That Mr. Cresswell's is an excellent appointment —the best that could be made—every one admits. One fact that has come to our knowledge is highly honourable to the new judge, who has, since his acceptance of the ermine, re turned all his briefs, fees, and retainers in causes not heard. We are not sure that this return of retainers especially, as contrary to professional usage, will not be deprecated by the bar as an objectionable precedent. Suitors and the public, however, might see in it a delicacy and liberality of feeling which it might be wished they had a tew more frequent op • portunities of observing in the legal profession.—Manchesler. Advertiser. ROBBERIES FROM Suors.—A man, named Wm. Jones, was yesterday placed at the bar of the Police-court, on a charge of stealing two looking-glasses. An assistant of Mr. Parley, pawnbroker, top of Copperas-hill, said that on Sa turday last the prisoner came and offered a swing looking glass in pledge. Suspecting him, he detain e d hi m unt il Constable M*Gee came and took him into custody. An as sistant of Mr. Holland, pawnbroker, Hotham-street, said that on Saturday afternoon the prisoner offered in pledge a swing dressing-glass for 305., and he gave him 21s. He soon after heard that some similar property had been stolen, and yesterday morning shewed the glass to Mr. Thorburn, who claimed it He afterwards heard that a man had been offer ing a glass at Parley's, and got .M`Gee to go there with him. They there found the prisoner, and he was taken into cus tody. Mr. Hough, cabinet-maker, said that on Friday the prisoner had come to his shop seeking work. He missed a glass from the shop table soon after lie left. It was that pro duced. Mr. Thorburn, cabinet maker, Renshaw -street, missed the other glass, on Saturday, from the window, and identified it. It was worth £3. The prisoner was commit ted for trial. Some of the money found on the prisoner, which had been paid to him by Mr. Holland's assistant, was returned, Mr. H. having taken suc h steps as l ed to the pri soner's apprehension. COFFEE.—Our attenti on h av i ng b een d rawn to an adver tisement, which appeared in our paper a few days ago, inti mating that coffee wa s ma d e b y a Mr. liisenstein on the foreign principle, we availed ourselves of an opportunity of testing the merits of his plan. We found a little shop in Concert-street was the place advertised, and into it we stepped. Although the limits of the shop were not very ex tensive, yet we noted at once thateverything contained within it was scrupulously neat and clean. Having asked for some of the beverage which " exhilarates but not intoxicates," we were politely shown a seat in a little inclosure, where we snugly ensconced ourselves, determined to notice the modus operandi which was to produce coffee as we have often heard it spoken of. We watched the operation, which did riot take very long, (including the grinding of the coffee,) and on a neat little waiter was set before us a neat little coffee pot, cup and saucer, a fairy-like little cream ewer, and plate of sugar, with a silver spoon to boot ; accompanying these were a couple of dainty-looking little cakes. Our nose was soon regaled by an odorous smell of the berry, while awaiting to be served, which led us to hope for something out of the common way—nor were we disappointed, for we can safely say that in our experience, and we are somewhat epi curean too, we never tasted anything to equal the richness of flavour of the coffee put before us. Apparently the essence of the coffee is obtained, and all its fine aromatic quality re tained, without the harshness that frequently is to be found in ordinarily-made coffee. The proprietor of this infant concern, it is clear, only wants encouragement to become famous. Those who, like ourselves, are not to be daunted by a humble exterior, and wish to be enlightened upon the subject of coffee, how to choose the berry, dress it, roast grind it, and make it, will not lose their time in taking advice in the art. The little trayfull of conveniences and the pot of coffee cost us sixpence ; and we could not but regret that an establishment such as is to be found in the metropolis in every street is not to be found in Liverpool, where coffee takes the place of ardent spirits, and the villainous compound of cassia anti other rubbish made into beer. TFIE DISPENSARIES.—On Friday, the annual meeting of the governors of this excellent charity was held in the parish offices, for the purpose—as set forth in the rules—of inspect ing the affairs of the institution, and electing a committee and oili:•,.rs co:- the current year. The attendance, we regret to say, was but limited, if we except that of the members of the committ,e. Mr. w. P. Freme was called to the chair. He lamented to state that they met under circumstances of peculiar embarrassment, as regarded the charity, ex ce ll en t as was its object. The calls upon them, the smallness of their funds, and the amount of debt under which they laboured, presented, indeed, a fearful prospect ; unless, in their selec tion of a committee for the year, they found Individuals who would devote themselves to the interests of the institution. If additional funds could not be raised, it would be their painful duty, imposed upon them by neces s ity, to reduce their whole establishments to a scale commensurate with their means, and thereby abridge the extensive benefits con ferred not only on the poor and afflicted, but through them on the town at large. Whoever were the gentlemen now elected, they must make a strong effort to raise the funds. It unfortunately happened that now, when the means of re lief d r were a incomparatively an adverse ratio. H e did h ope, h owever, t h at nc ese if a proper appeal were made to the public, they would not suffer such a charity, so benevolent and comprehensive in its object, and so desirable to the whole community, to be re duced to a condition of comparative inadequacy. The secre tary then read an account of the several items of income and expenditure. The following is an abstract :- 1841.

Mrs. Scott again appeared before Mr. Rushton, on Friday last, and charged her husband with a violent assault. It appeared, from the evidence of Mrs. Scott and her servant girl, that they had just removed to a new house, and that on Thursday evening, the prisoner entered in a state of intoxication, and behaved most violently. He told her she would not be allowed to re main there. He kicked her, forced her into a back room, and bolted the door. Here he beat her violently, and she continued to cry for assistance. The servant endeavoured to gain admittance, but failed in doing so. She told him that, if he did not open the door, she would get in by the window, as she was determined not to allow her mistress to be killed. He opened the door, made a rush at the servant, and tried to kick her. Her mistress desired her to call the police, which she did, when the prisoner was secured and taken to Bridewell.—Mr. Davenport, who appeared for the prosecutrix, reminded the magistrate, that the pri soner was then under bail, and proceeded, at considerable length, to state the manner in which the bail had been pro cured. He said, that £7 10s. had been given as indemnity, in order to induce the party to become security, and that money had been paid into the hands of Mr. Owen (who ap peared for the prisoner) for that purpose. He also stated, that, on the day on which the securities came before the court, he had asked, through Mr. Rushton, whether the parties had been in any way indemnified, and that Mr. Owen had replied in the negative. He (Mr. Davenport) was pre pared to prove that the amount mentioned had actually been •paid for that purpose. The prisoner had also promised to assign over to his wife the public-house and furniture, but when the proper documents were drawn up he had refused to sign them. Mr. Owen, in reply, said, that part of Mr. D.'s statement was true, and part of it was not true. It was true that £5 had been paid. But, if the magistrates recol lected right. the question put respecting the indemnity was not whether any indemnity had been received, but whether the security had received indemnity or not. He contended that £5 was not indemnity for risking £5O, and it was in this sense the question had been answered. Mr. Daven port had stated that £7 10s. had been received, but the amount was only £7. He begged to state, however, that he had nothing whatever to do with the affair, as it had been altogether concocted by a friend of the prisoner's. With regard to the assignment, it had been agreed, that nothing more than the public-house and the furniture would be as signed over to Mrs. Scott ; but he found that other parties had been called in to draw up the document and he had been excluded altogether. These parties being aware that there was an amount of money in the bank, included that in t h e assignment, which was directly against the agree ment entered into at first. This was the cause .of Mr. Scotts refusal to sign the document. The pri sonernow to s i gn i t on t h e terms at f i rst re l y e Rusht on sa i d he had always been opposed aged u was pon. re i T i l to persons receiving anything in the shape of indemnity in order to induce them to come forward to act as security. It was a fraud committed against the magistrate and the public. He had some recollection of the circumstance, and he (Mr. Rushton) must state that he would take care that those par ties practising at that bar, should he find them lending their aid for such a purpose, it would rest with himself whether he would hear them or not. Having once defrauded him in that manner, he would be extremely cautious how much depend ence he placed on their statements in future. Mr. Owen wished to pot himself right with the court. It was no trans action of his. It was done between the prisoner and his friend. All lie had done was to receive the money and pay it away again. Mr. Davenport said that the order for the money had been drawn out in a very curious way. It had been folded so that the prisoner (who was in gaol at the time) could not see the amount for which the order was drawn out. Mr. Owen promised to bring forward the person who had drawn out the order, so that the court might be satisfied. Mr. Rushton, who censured the conduct of Mr. Owen in very strong terms, asked him whether he could produce him previous to the closing of the court. Mr. Owen replied in the negative, saying he did not know where to find him, but promised to make inquiry, and that he would be in attend ance next day. Mr. Rushton (addressing the prisoner) said he would take care the sums for which the prisoner and his sureties had become hound were forfeited. He would now impose a penalty of £5 on the prisoner ; in default of pay ment, to be imprisoned two months. He would also require him to enter into recognisances, himself in £lOO, and two sureties in £5O each. The person alluded to by Mr. Owen was not produced on Saturday.
