That is the principal reason why so many of our countrymen are not awake to 'Abe infamous machinations of the Irish demagogues, and the total disregard of truth which characterises all their public and private conduct. .But the time is at hand, if it be not actualiy arrived, when the 'flint will fall from the eyes of every protestant Englishman—when :indignation will displace apathy—when reason and common sense Will resume their place,--when a corrective policy will su persede the influence of a false philanthropy, and when " itutice shall be done to Ireland !" The lords, by the noble stand they have made, by their fearless spirit of independence, and by the unanswerable reasons they have given for their conduct, have more than ever endeared themselves in the hearts of the people • of England. Lord GREY, in practice the caricaturist of his own prin c ipl es , pro f esses to stand, by " his order." The' conservative lords, on the contrary, have no order, no object, but the good of their country. They will not repeal the blessed reformation. They will not allow the ging of ENGLAND, either by inclination or by threatened compulsion, to prostrate himself at the footstool of an ar .• .t.ogant, an ignorant, and a fetid priest. Ttiey will not • . allow a band of heartless but venal conspirators, of Irish breed, to dictate to the crown. They will not convert the hallowed house of prayer into a confessional. They ' will die in the last trench rather 'than see their wives, . their daughters, or their sisters dragged before the de spotic tribunal of an insidious Jesuit or an unmarried vo luptuary. Fur this Ave thank them ; and sure we are, in doing so, we speak the sentiments and echo the infelt re sponses of the great majority of the people of England and Scotland. • The lords have now made their stand. They have taken up what we shall take the liberty to call their best and most invulnerable .position. They have closed the door upon the insulting demands of the popish leader, ",'• 'and they have said to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in as many words, " bteak with him, or bear with him, just as you please —we despisellitn, and we defy you ." What then has the - son of the Duke of BEDFORD to do ? It is clear lie cannot • keep terms with the man whom the premier and Lord GREY denounced in a speech from the throne. He surely will not have the insolence to ask his sovereign to recall that speech, and decorate with some badge of honour the man he had consigned to infamy. No, that Is Out of the question. Lord JOHN has wounds of a ten • deter nature to engross all his emollients. The priest- Pauper was a drag upon his lordship's movements, like the repellents upon a Dutchman skating up bill, going two steps backwards for one in advance ; but Lord LYND n HURST has applied a blister to his locomotive power, which wounds his honour quite as much as his feet. Fur- Ward now lie cannot go; to stand still is impossible; to sleep is death. In this dilemma his lordship has sum moned a Cabinet Council. What that council may de cide upon is comparatively of no consequence. If the cabinet resign the nation will be grateful. If they pro rogue parliament the public will laugh ; for it will then be obvious that a few months more of salary is all that the wings wish or can extort by any procrastination of duty, or by any sacrifice of principle, honour, or dignity. Out "Ili must go very soon; and, like the dog that has es . taPed hanging only to be drowned, they will perish in Putrid water, the tail only being observable on the sur face, too disgusting to be molested, and, like the yellow 0 ,4 over a plague ship, pointing where the victims of the peat sleep in oblivion. If 'Lord JOHN RUSSELL have any spark of courage he Will resign, and appeal to the people at a new election. That is all we ask. Give us this, and we will forgive him! Lord JOHN RUSSELL, by his contemptible trimming. on the dissenters' marriage bill, has offered another insult to the Church of England. We never could perceive the necessity for any additional legislation un this subject, why the dissenters should be permitted to make the chligations of marriage a mere civil contract. In our es timation, they have no more warrant for considering the church service a grievance than the ringing of church for they can escape from the one as well as the other. APet'if there he*ouScientious 'dissenters who really and - *lttestly- believe the - chufth'Servic e to be a grievance, `Which we doubt, surely they can have no objections to declare this conviction, openly, in order to obtain a li cense to perform Matrimony in any way they please. T hey tray do it as it used to be in Venice, where was s een.ennuolly " The Adriatic wedded to our duke," by casting a ring into the sea. They may toss a ring i nto a tea-cup, put both their heads into one noose, "InP over a twig, present each other with a live goose, k i4 irt any way not outraging public decency ; but they 4 te no right whatever to celebrate marriage between tnenlbers of the established church, or between any O i rties..wh o will not openly declare that they.have con -406116011S scruples against being u n it e d accor di ng t o t h e e a utiful and purely religious rites o f th e Ch urc h ofEng lnd. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, however, thinks differently; for on Tuesday evening, he, at the suggestion of WARBUIL -1711 BOWRING, BAINEs, and a few others, withdrew the dec laration, and passed the bill authorising the dissent " to celebrate marriage without requiring from the forties any affirmation or admission that they do dissent !nin the Church of England. Now we feel, confident hat the lords never will consent to pass the bill in its P t esetat form. If t h e y d o , t h ey w ill b e creat i ng facilities , c landestine marriages, intrigues of various kinds, Il ea even seduction itself.

The expenses of . the dinner, &c , to be paid by equal subscription by all the mem bers. No part to come out of the funds of the society." It appears that, in the course of last week, the officers of the Wallasey Friendly Society 'preferred the usual request to the rector of the parish,' that he would open the church for their accommodation, and preach a sermon to them, as he had done last year, and as his predecessors had been in the habit of doing for the last fourteen years. The reverend gentleman's answer was as follows: . " The Rector of Wallasey will, with great pleasure, preach to the Wallasey Friendly Society on their anniversary, on the condition that they introduce no hand of music into the parish on that day. An engagement to this effect ha will require from the officers of the society." The condition annexed by the rector to his compliance with the request of the society was rejected; the band attended; the members of the society were refused admission to the church; and a considerable degree of excitement was the consequence. The rector has, we presume, good reasons for adopting the course he pursued ; but it is much to be regretted that he has nut stated what those reasons were. SOUTH WARWICKSHIRE ELECTION. The contest between Mr. Shirley, the conservative, and Sir Gray Skipwith, the • Whig - Candidate, for the representation , of• South Warwick-hire, ended on Wednesday, in the triumphant .return of Mr. Shirley. The contest was purely one of Opposite principles, and nothing can inure clearly demonstrate that the political feelings of the freeholders of this once whig e ouuty have. undetgone a complete change than the fact that the whiz taro ' net, Sir Gray Skipwith, could not command even a temporary majority in any one of the polling districts during the election. The correspondent of the Times, in a letter dated• Tuesday even ing, says : "The whig-radical party are perfectly astounded, and openly express themselves astonished at the result of the. first day's poll. Whit will they say to morrow? In the neighbourhood of Kenilworth, under the very nose of Mr. Chandos Leigh, who subscribed £5OO to defray the expenses of Sir Gray, Mr. Shir ley has obtained a majority. This was not looked for even by the most sanguine conservative. At the election in 1832 Sir Grose Philips in this district had a majority of 40 over Mr. Shirley; this day Mr. Shirley had a majority of 2J over Sir Gay Skipwith. The same change has been m a nif es t e d isall parts of the division. Mr. llolton King was defeated in his own parish, and Henley, formerly the stronghold of radicalism, is now the stronghold of conservatism." At the close of the first day's poll the votes taken at the un dermentioned polling booths were as follows : Shirley. Skipwith. Warwick Kineton Stratford Henley - 304 176 Southam .219 1562 1120 Gross majority for Mr. Shirley, 442. ( From our own Correßpundent.) Writ: %limit, Wednesday Evening, 7 o'clock. The contest fur the representation of this division of the county closed at four o'clock to-day, in the return of Evelyn John Shirley, Esq., the conservative candidate. The numbers were:— Shirley. Skipwith. Warwick Kinetun 3BB 128 Stratfoid Henley Southaia 1880 1352 Majority for the conservative candidate, 528. The Morning Chronicle, of Wednesday, contains a beautiful condensation of whole v.dumes of modwrn agitation speecoes, in the form ofa short letter. dated " Warwick, Tuesday Morn ing," from which we present our readers with the subjoined amusing extract. " Notwithstanding the efforts of the electioneering clergy men, the bludgeon and bludgeonmen, and the threats and in timidation of the tory party, the friends ofliheral principles are not to be deterred from the performance of their duty to them selves a nd their country. They agree with Sir Grey Skipwith, that. the present is nut a contest between two individuals, but a contest i f principle." We admit that it was A CONTEST OF PRINCIPLE; and, mark the result—the triumph of conservatism over whiggery and Lord 4olais-4biasibilisaii-theoa are now at a dipcoatut even la Binning ham. THE CLIFFS OF OLD ENGLAND. A Metaphor. DEDICATED TO THE O'CONNELL MINISTRY. The cliffs of old England the ocean repel, Let it rage—let it roar ai it mav; Undeceived by its calm, undismayed by its swell, There they are ready nerved for the 'flay. The tempest may threaten to loosen their base; It may whiten the tops with its foam ; Unflinching they stand, with their old furrowed face— The protectors of England, our home! The sand at their feet changes place with each wave, Spurned alike by the rock and the sea; It has nothing to cling to, nothing to save Beyond wreck—its legititnate, tee. That wreck may be treasure sufficient to win All but rocks, as it sparkles in foam; But unheeded it lies—our rocks cannot silt— The protectors of England. our home MORAL. The blessings we own are assailed by a tide Overwhelming, as that of the sea; But our men, like our cliffs, will in duty abide, Or die, that their sons may be free., If some. like the sand, have no hold on the rock, And for plunder would willingly roam, Let then; spa —we can spare rotten- sheep from the flock Of our church—of our state—of our home. TO A CAPTIVE SKYLARK, ON HEARING ITS SUNG IN oNE OF THE BUSIEST PARTS OF LIVERPOOL. The rush of the throng for one brief moment ceasing, The rattle of wheels on the rough pavement dies; In this interval calm it is mournfully pleasing To hear thy sweet song, captive bird of the skies. Oh! -while in my ear thy Wild music is sounding, Far away from the town bath my heart taken flight; My fancy, unfetter'd, is joyfully bounding O'er scenes to which memory turns with delight. I see the gay sun o'er the hills newly risen, The light mists of morning innate with his ray, And the lark bursts exulting from Night's gloomy prison, To lead the glad chorus that welcomes the day. • 'Tis summer—'tis noontide—'twist waking and slumber Beneath the dark shade of the hazels I he, And sink into sleep as the talk's soothing numbers, More faintly, more faintly, sound down from the sky. Again the scene changes —the eve is declining : I see the sun set as. I stand on the hill ; Yet while his last beams o'er the waters are shining, The skylark's sweet melody greeteth me still. Such are the visions which rise while thou'rt singing, Such are the scenes which thy music recalls— But the hoarse voice of Commerce, again round me ringing Breaks the spell, and the day-dream so beautiful fall►. Bright waters, green fields, woods, and mountains all vanish, Of that landicipe tio'fair is no trace left behind; But vain, for awhile, are my efforts to banish The mournful impreision it leaves on my mind. _ POUT OF LIVERPOOL.

Last evening, the anniversary of this society was held at Mr. Willoughby's Hotel, Birkenhead. A packet was provided fur the visitors front- Liverpool, which was crowded to ex cess; as - • th o they approached Bi r k en h ea d, t wo sma ll ceenontationed on the green where the dinner was set put, announced their arrival, which were answered from the packet. The dinner - was set out . on th green behind the hot e l, on w hi c h t we l ve l ong tableiewere set across, with a transverse table-in the cons re, rather elevated, at which sat the president and vice-president, and the invited guests. The whole was covered with an awning, and the in terior was decorated with evergreens, and flags; bearing appro priate Inscriptions. At one c truer, a very exceileut . timid of music was stationed, which contributed much to the hilarity of the meeting. The weather, fortunately, was beamiful. and the green sloping, down to the river had a very pretty effect. As near as we could compute, there were about 89J insdyidua.s present. Thos. Johnson, Esq., emended thu chair, ant James Procter, Esq., acted as yive-president. On the eleveted for.n we observed. on the right of th, chairman, Sir Thume, Brancker, Mr. Dunlevie, Mr. W oo d war d, M r. W arner, M i, Jones, Mr. Brancker, jug., Mr. Gueriton, Mr. Moiliaeux, Mr. Maitland, Mr. Mould, Mr. Preston, Mr. Ateirea•e, Mr. Bourne and several other gentlemen. We cannot speak mneh.in emu mendation of the dinner; it was a cold collation, anti certainly not one of the best ; and the waiting was execrable, the com pany, in despair, running Omni to help theinselves•and seek knives and forks and plates where they could find them. The dinner was announced to take place at two o'clock; at shortly before three, the chairman sad the invited guests arrived and were received with cheers. As soon as dinner was removed the CHAIRMAN gave " The King, and may he reign in the hearts of his people," which was given with three times three cheers, the cannon facing the river firing a Au de jo;e,. after which Mr. Mullineux sung " Ged save the Ki ng ." the company joining. • The Ceetam AN then gave "The Queen, the ornament of the female sex and a pattern el female virtue," whichjwas answered by the cannon and three times three cheers. The CHAIRMAN then gave "The Princess Victoria and the rest of the Buyal Family," which was druuk with three times three cheers.—:lluet, " fiallop on gaily." The CHAIRMAN then gave, "The Army and Navy, and what would have heroine of us if we had nut had them several years ago." Given with three times three cheers. After which the CHAIRMAN gave, "The Licensed Victuallers of Liverpool and its vicinity," which was drunk with Brea cheering, the band playing "Auks Lang Syue." After which Mr. SHAW volunteered the following song : When Greece was an infant, and Persia a wild, And man was untutored in thinking, Till awoke by young Bacchus. that ruddy-faced child, Who expanded the heart by deep drinking; Their knee was first bent wlieu the sun had gut up, Libations were poured from the pine -tree, Till Bacchus had flavoured soil strengthened their cup By expreSsing the juice of the vine-tree. chouus.

It warmed every bosom to friendship and love-- Old Homer 'his thought it made mellow, Dramatic Eschylus quaffed nectar to Jove, And Anacreon it made a good fellow ; Arist , toe and Plato were drunk on the ground, With Copernicus snug one October, When he found 'twas the earth, not the sun, that went round Which he'd ne'er have found out if kept sober. Huzza for the vintage, &c. They revelled and loved in that sweet sunny clime, Neither nymphs n o r y o u ng graces were want i ng, Fair Venus supplied them with beauty divine, Young,Apollo ass minstrelsy granting; No discord as yet had been heard on that ground, Jove peeped down to earth from his portals, And declared, it such joys in good wine could be found, He should ue'er people heaven with mortals. Huzza for the vintage, &e. So Vulcan he sent and gave war for a scourge, But Bacchus brought round some good fellows, They broached him some wine, then pulled down his forge, And when fuddled he soon burnt his bellows; " Huzza ter terrestrials," they loudly did sing, " We're blest, and we'll drink whilst we're able. For wine makes the pear man as great as a king," When Mars came and upset their tattle. Huzza for the vintage, &c. They, fir'd with disgust, to the western world flew, On the ocean an island found sleeping, It fill'd them with rapture as near it they drew— 'Twits the peaceful abode they were seeking; John Bull made them welcome and free of his clime, He stood riot on forms, or for parley, They found in his cellar no juice of the vine, But he'd very tine juice fieen the b ur l ey. uzza fur Joists Barleycorn, laugh, &e.

Iluzza tor John Barleycorn, laugh, &e From that time to this she'd have happy remained, If hypocrites had not been thinking They'd keep both our fields and our cellars undrained, By planting an edict 'glinst drinking; While all their proud strength still in number remains, To preserve them front gross inebriety : Who lacks firmness of mind. and have skulls without brains, Make best members a' th' Temp'rance Society. Huzza fur John Barleycorn, laugh, &c. But a fig for their canting, let bumpers go round— God bless both the King and the people! Such lovers of good Mother Church here are found That will not even part with the steeple. Good luck to Great Britain!—let all the world know Iu freedom and friendship she'll glory ; Reformation, say I, to each itablican's foe— Let him spring from the Whig or the tory. Huzza fur John Barleycorn, laugh, &c. The song was loudly cheered throughout. The CHAIRMAN then gave, "The Houses of Stanley and Mo lyneux." (Loud cheering.) Ile was sure that the toast would be drunk with enthusiasm, seeing that the two houses were the owners of the land between the Ribble and the Mersey and of course the owners of the Inndon which Liverpoolstood. (Cheers ) Mr. Bay DFN, the secretary of the society, said he was request ed by the chairman to read-an answer final one of the !muses, which lied been drunk by them, addressed to himself, as secretary. It was as follows : " beg to acknowledge the honour you have done me by the invitation conveyed in your letter of the 22d instant, to attend at the anniversary dinner of the Liverpool licensed vic tuallers' society, as well as fir the following expressions of respect contained in it for may father's family. I much regret that I am obliged to decline the pleasure of attendingthe dinner, as other engagements take me from home at the time ; but I en tertain the best wishes for the prosperity of the society, and re main your obedient servant, " MoeyNeux." The reading of the letter was received with loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of Mr. Shaw, who had so lately contributed to their amusement, Which was drunk with cheers. Mr. SHAW rose to return thanks. He said, if anything could make a poet proud it would be the flattering reception his puny efforts had received that day. He was almost afraid he should grow vain of himself if they proceeded in their commendations as they had begun, and should conceive himself the very pink of laureats soon. He had been somewhat dragged fie ward of late, but he should say no more about it than that he had been dragged forward "more than to his liking." He had had only two objects to serve,—one was, what he conceived to be his rights,—and the second was, to prevent the publicans as a bode being restricted in their march to independence and respecta bility; for, Whatever they migL': think of John Shaw, he would assure.them if they lobbed the publicans of their respectability anti independence as a body, what remained to them was but bigotry, callous heartedness, and a destitutiun of talent and mo ral worth. They would be as deaf to the calls of religiOn as they would be to the calls of the law. He would tell the au thorities if they oppressed the publicans they would deteriorate in respectability. In order to make them respectable and obe dient to the laws, they must admire those who administered the laws, and they should then love the laws. Make their calling honourahe in the face of the world, and they would keep their body respectable. As a body' they had every class to entertain, from the travelling prince to the tinker, and all expected to be pleased. (Hear.) And he dared to say, that there were many there who could testify with him - that the gentlemen of the latter class were mote fastidious in their taste than the former. (Cheers.) The former class patronised the roofs of Mr. Lynn and Mr. Rad'ey, and proud he was to say, that they had such. men in their body; but without offering them any offence he would say, that the landl or d w h o a e n terta i ne d t h e travell i ng tinker might equal them in good iidentions. (Cheers.) Though it had been the misfortune of many of them to draw themselves beneath the lash of the magistrates, yet, ill used as they hail been, it seemed "the measure of their affliction was net yet full," for a new enemy, had appeared in the garb oftemperance. (Laughter and cheers.) This new enemy did not hesitate, with a good christiait feeling, to sink them in the lowest pit of perdition for daring to deal. in termen'ing beverage. Three were their men-loving women-haters, who give their masculine tea-parties. (Cheers.) lie loved a tea-party as well as any man in England, but it was when he saw a smiling woman do the - duty of the ten-pot, and light-hearted females the majority of the guests. (Cheers.) Sir THOMAS BRANCKER begged, with the permission of the chair, to propose a toast. He would beg to propose the health of an Individual to whom they were all much indebted. He would give "the health of their worthy chairman;" which was given with loud cheering. The CHAIRMAN said he was called on by the licensed victual lers to occupy the station which he then held, he was sorry not more efficiently. He congratulated the society that, com paratively speaking, they had ri sen a b o v e time parent society of the metropolis. The parent society was established in 1791 ; in 1827 its funds were only £4t's Ws. The. funds of the present society, though it had only been established six years, were nearly equal to the parent society, 011ie) had been esta blished eighteen years. This was ave , ycietightful feeling • and many were contiog forwaid to supp ort t h e i nst i tution. and he doubted not that it would be found as great au ornament to the town as.. the Blue Coat Charity was. There might be mane strangers there who did not new the merits of the society ; he felt no . doubt . that those who did know its merits would at once become Ininorary members and subscribers to its funds. The society was establishe i to provide education for the fathereess and the motherless, and the infirm who had been engaged in the same trade as the geotlemen who Surrounded him, but on whom the sunshine of prosperity had not glowed. He thought that after this explanation those who were not already subscribers would become so, Mr. Johnson concluded by retiring a letter from Mr. Henry Copeland, enclasina £lO, which he begged to hand to the Licensed Victuallers' Society, wishing them every suceese. This announcement was received with loud cheering. The CHAIRMAN then gil-ye. " the Mayor and magistrates Oft the borough of Liverponl."'"

Mr. ifitrokst, the secretary •of - the society, said he had re ceived letters from the members for the town of Liverpool in Answer to invitations sent to them to attend the anniversary of the society, which he would read to them. The first letter was from theirsentor inern'ier, Lord Saudun, dsted the 2lth of 4une, 1833, .and addressed to himself:— " Dear Sir, —1 am afraid to state that public business gives me 12,1 chance of being able to accept th e fl a tt er l ug i nv it at i on conveyeu to use, that Ishould dine with the Licensed Victual lers' Suc.ety uu Wealth instant.

(.l.;heers.) He had a toast to propose to them, it was the health of a geutlemen who had stood alone in opposing the , obuoxious. tifiy-per-cent tax imposed upon the publicans.

Mr. NIGHTINGALE of the Liverpool Chronicle said, he was sorry to say that professional duties prevented the attendance of Mr. Anderson, audom his behalf, he returned them his sin cere thanks fur the honour they had done him. Mr Anderson was absent on business in the North of England, or he would have attended:. He would take care that the honour they had dune him:was communicated to him. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " Win. Lewis, the chairman and the other members of the committee of the Licensed Vic• Wailers' Association." Mr. Lawis responded to the toast. After setting forth the labours of the committee siuce their establishment, he depre cated the refusal of the mayor and the members of the council to dine with them. They had done all that a society could to show respect to the authorities by tuviung the mayor and com mon council of Liverpool to dine with then. They had no re ply to show them wily or wherefore they had decliued that vitamin. ( Marks of disapprobation.) The CI4AIRMAN calved to or .er by repeating that that was not a pilot, al tneeling.

SEAMEN'S WAGES-IMPORTANT TO SAILORS. On Friday, at the Police-office, a seaman, named John Coup laud, uf the, strisSsUstry, from Ala ta, appeared befsie the magis trates to compiam that a balance of wases, amounting to £0155., had not been paid to him by bis captain, or the (ratters, they refusing to pay it owing to lus having been 111 (luring the greater part of the. vos age. Mr. DaVenpoit appeared fir the complainant, who appeared to tie so di as scarcely to be elite to stand 'Toe agents, Messrs. It. F. 'Steed and Eccleston, applied to have the case remanded a u nt the nest day to give them time to procure evidence. The case was, however, gone into as tar as it then could Mr. Davenport then stated that the complainant had shipped on board the Marv, at Malta, on the 4th of Februars , last, and signed articles under Captain Blain; the captain had, however, been changed.' In March he was taken seriously ill, and was put into the hospital at Smyrna, and had been unable, till the di-charging of the vessel that week, to do anything. On revi ling the ships at tides over Mr. Hall said he saw a clause in the articles which could not held, and which was very unjust. that any thing was Lust a p roportion of th a t l oss s h ould b e taken from each man's wages." That was a covenant which was not worth a straw; it was a very unjust covenant, and if - a sailor were to sign it ever so it would not bind him, which had been decided by the Court tit Admiralty. Captain Walker, of the Mary, said the comalainant had not been shipped with- him, but with another captain ; he only brought, tie vessel home. On the voyage to Sinyrna the coin• ptainant got Ye)y sick, and on arriving at Smyrna he was sent to the hospital, and remained there tall the vessel came away, when the stritish•consul there obliged him to bring him home, though he could not walk to the ship. He hail, in consequence, been under the necessity of hiring another man to do his work on the passage home. Mr. Hailanquired if - he bad paid that man anything?—The captain replied that he had given him his passage for milling the ship, but did not pay hin t . Mr.ta Then there is an end of that objection if you paid him no wages. You can only deduet front the wages•due to a sick seaman what expenses you have been at in copse quence of his sickness, in hiving to hire a substitute." One of the agents said Captain Walker had only taken the ship the night before she sailed. Mr. Hallsaid, " the question then was whether he did not take the ship with all the liabilities if he took a man to the Cape of-Good Hope, and he was taken sick on the voyage, he would be obliged to pay him his wages for the whole of the way. if he paid another man who acted as a substitute, he might deduct what he had paid trout the sick Man's wages; but if he did not pay anything fur that substitute, he would have no right to ih defent:tilli'etrkle tram's alPli application it ' tof s te captain, Mr. Hall granted that the case should be remanded till next day. On Saturday the case was resumed. Captain Walker then stated that he had no further observations to make; helord taken advice on the subject, •and should offer no further,oh jection. He should only ask it the magistrates would make any allowance for the extra man employed? Mr. Hall said this was not a case, strictly speaking of substi-' tate. lie had not had a ease of this descrietion before him .be foie. He had had two cases of summonses for seamens' wages before him, but they differed from this. One of them was .a case of. fraud, where a man had shipped as an able seaman who. was,afflieted wish disea se , w hi c h ma d e him unable - to.fultilthe duties of hie employment. The captain had offered • very .fairly , to pay hint for so l ung as he cou ld wor k , b ut when he. had been' obliged to employ a substitute, claimed to have what he hail. paio that substitute deducted from his wages. In that case he thought - a fraud had been practised on the captain, and it was only right that the man should pot receive wages while a-.sub stitute was working for him. In the second case, a tnan had shipped to Jamaica to 'go from thence to the United States;aos return to Jamaica, and then hack to England. The man - was taken ill on the voyage nut and carried tosa hospital at Jamaica, and was so iii that the ca rain was obliged to sail to•the United States and back to Jamaica without him, and engage a st - tbsti.. tote. The man was willing to pay the expense of the substi tute, but not the expense of the hospital. There was no point raised about the substitute, only which party was to pay the 'ex pense of the sickness. 1-le saw the act of parliament made a distinction between a man receiving an injury or a butt . in the service of the .owners, and where a man was disqua lified by natural sickness from working. lie found that gs faith. fe L l i!er:noditi:teetilhT.,:tidiemestnoeits,etythrbidaieeyeln a laid rs so no d :n o .l, a u ' tt n i hdh , ee have ra h :v a t w reiti other e a ds received a (ai:n, ed s dh e i a man is he fh if he i s -'attacked by natural sickness in the course of the vnysise. Smut' a case where a seatnen was disabled at faliing hisskg, and he was landed at the United States, Where his wages were paid up to the time he was lauded. The man, hoevever, afterwards came to England, and a n action was brought for his wages ro:. tire whole voyage, and it was decided that by the Attie' lean law of nations a man Was entitled to receive his wages far the whole voyage although left abroad. Another authority was Lurd Ismighb . rough, who laid tt down that, when a man was taken. on a voyage, he was entitled to his whole wages; in a case of natural sickness, if he were sent to a hospital, the owners were entitled. to deduct ex penses, but nes when the ilatess arose from a hurt. In the 'present case there was not any attempt to deduct hospital ex penses. If the seaman in the case before him had brought his action, he would be entitled to recover his entire wages. He was; thelefore, unquestionably entitled to be paid not withstand- - ing his sickness. A sailor laboured under many disadvantages wbieh the owr,ei did net. A sailor cou:d not insure his wages; and if a sailor d e in the middle of a voyage, which was not divisible, his representatives were not entitied to receive the wases - he had rotas ---- , .yeartied: an owner could insure his pro perty-. It was quite clear that the complainant must be paid, and the next quest,on.vras by thin.

STE settee Satuntay, at the Police-office, two boys named Samuel Gibson anal John Broaeh, Were broaght before the. ,MagistrateS charged w i t h ha v i ng sto l en ' a quantity of dead epouting from varioniaplaces. ' A- person named Edward Stathp said he Was awoke about two o'clock that morning by a noise near the Witidowe he juniped out of bed, and looking out at the window saw Gibson standing near and the spout gone, indaaw Broach with the spout in his arms; be could' swear to Gibsuu buttrot to the other man. tie shouted for the police, Who took Broach into custody as he - was running away; he had not the lead With hint. 'Another witness residing iu Rorston squere, Limekiln-lane, said he was awoke iu the morning snout `two o'clock by his dog barking; he got up, and on looking out at the window saw the prisoner Gibson pulling his spout down. He shoutedio him and asked him what he was about, when he ran away; lie gin. up and followed him, and watched the house he entered till he get up that morning at half-past 7 o'clock, when he came out and he "nabbed niva." He would swear he was Use man who was pulling his spout. A witness came forward to depose that he saw Broach throw the spout down as he was run ning away, and before he was taken into custody; from his manner, however, it was evident that he had been partaking of too much " heavy wet," and Mr. Hail said he was not sober, and he should order him to pay ss. for coming to give evidence whilst he was drunk. This seemed to astonish the witness, and he looked hugely indignant as he was thrust into the prisoner's' dock. In consequence of the want-of his evidence the case was remanded till Monday. Oa Monday the Prisoners were again brought up, and coin muted to take their trial. BIiGGINa.AT CHAPEL DOORS.—On Monday a great number of .beggars were brought u p b e f ore t h e magistrates charged by Batcheldur with begging at various chapel doors Batcheldur said, that in consequence of the great aunoyance felt by the inhabitants from persons begging at the chapel doers, he had been directed to goround and take such as he found into custody. Mr. Hall said every means had been tried to abate this nuisance, and at last they were ob.ig,ed to resort to this.—They were each committed for eight days to the B o r o u g h H ouse o? Correction. AN AWKWARD PARHICAMENT.—Ou Monday, at the Police office, a sergeant of the al regiment, now stationed in this town, appeared to prefet a charge of felony against it man named Ed ward Lothian, for having stolen and then wearing the full regi mental suit of one of the privates of his regiment. The sergeant said that one of their men had deserted, dud the prisoner Caine to him wearing his clothes, and he took him into custody fur the felony. The prisoner stated that he was sleeping on Saturday night in the same moos with one of the . privates of the 23d re giment, and when he awoke in the morning he found the soldier hal dressed filmset( entirety in his (prisoner's) clothes, and had left all his regimentals in their place. He did not know what to rip for clothes, so he put the sal lier's on, and went to the bar racks to detiver theta up. Mr. Hall asked if this was the case ? The sergeant replied that he hail come to deliver them up, but be ought to have come twelve hours sooner than he did, and not have worn thetas a day. Mr. Hall said he could out treat the I, case's* a: felony; he must discharge the prisaaer. Sergeant s , " Then what will Ido for the clothes ?" Mr. Hall—" Y o u must take ham with you to the barracks and get the clothes." This reply, and the leak of perplexity of the sergeant, set the court in a rear of laughter, which was increased by the natuiai'query of the prisoner, Theo what will Ido for clothes." CHILD STEALING. —On 'Tuesday, at the Police-office, a middle-aged rather goo I-looking woman, named Ann Dignurn, was placed before the magistrates, charged by a respectable mechanic, named Henry Evans, with havtug stolen his child and proceeded to strip it of its clothing, the day before.` The complainant said that he resided at No. 10, Chisenhale-street, and, about one o'clock the day before, his mistress gave the child to a little girl to take care of, and the prisoner took it from her and carried it to the canal side, half a mile from his house, where she was found undressing it. A young man stated that he was coming along th e cana l s id e, when Ire saw the prisoner with the child, undressing it, and she had already taken its frock off. Seeing that it was rather well dressed, he thought it did not belong to her, and he asked her whose child 'it was. She replied it was hers. He then asked her why she was un dressing it, and she said it was her own and she had a right to do what she liked with it. He thea seize ! hold of her and said he was sure it was not hers. Immediately afterwards, he saw a number of persons running towards them. who were in se-arch of the child. The prisoner said sae took the chid on her lap, and had a " little sup in her head," but had no had inteu lions ((awards it. It appeared that the little girl to whom the child had been given in care was the daughter of the prisoner, and hard hem taken out of charity by the neighbours, hviing been left withou t -support above six weeks ago by the prisoner. A little girl came forwards and swore th at the prisoner was the Caine woman who stole a child, which our readers will remem ber was taken about three months ago, and a Scotch woman afterwards charged with stealing it, but who was acquitted, and which has never set beer> heard of. Mr. Hall said that as the girl bad sworn th'at the Scotch woman who was taken at Kirk date was the woman who stole the child he could not take her evidence. Whilst the little girl was giving her evidence that the prisoner was the woman who stole the former child the pri souer appeared greatly agitated. She was committed to take her trial at the sessions fair stripping the complainant's child. saelaus AssAGI,T.—On Tuesday, at the Police-office, a ruffianly-looking fellow, named Michael Dillon, was placed be- fore the magistrutescharged with having stabbed Chas.
