STEALING FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY-EIGHT DOL LARS.—On Friday a sailor, named John Bryant, was brought up at the Police-court, before Mr. Rushton, charged by Mr. George Rippard, captain of the Penope schooner, of Jersey, with having robbed that vessel of 598 dollars. The captain stated that some time ago he sailed from Valparaiso with 310,000 dollars, which h e placed in the lazarette under his cabin. The prisoner had been shipped as cook and steward, and, of course, had frequent access to the cabin. When the ship was in lat. 40 S., she had the misfortune to lose her foremast, and then put into Bahia. Whilst there the prisoner pretended to be sick, and was placed in the British hospital. When the ship was ready to sail, it was found that the prisoner had quitted the hospital four days previously, and that he had been seen•in possession of more than 300 Spanish dollars. He was subsequently taken into custody on the charge of deserting his ship, and, upon being searched, 107 Spanish dollars were found in his belt. It also tran. spired that he had given 200 dollars to a female, and had squandered various sums away. These circumstances, to gether with the fact of his being moneyless when he first went on board, aroused a suspicion in the mind of the captain that all was not right, and upon examining the la zarette, it was found that one of the boxes of dollars had been broached, and 598 dollars stolen. Mr. Rushton said he had no earthly doubt that the prisoner had stolen the money, and ordered him to be remanded.

After reading of the usual hospital report, the governor stated that a child 3 years' old had been found 'deserted, and it was agreed that a reward of 3 guineas should be offered for the apprehension of the mother. The sum paid for relief at Toxteth-park for the week ending Ist April, was stated to be £32 That for the we ek ending 18th May, only £l3. A letter was read from Mr. Lister, complain ing greatly of the quality of the meat supplied, to the Fever Hospital ; the matter was referred to the Fever Hospital Committee.

Not the aristocracy, but the masses, paid the greatest proportion of the taxes, and vet they were scorned and treated with derision, as was Mr. M`Gregor.

Agitation, though considered by some useless in the pre sent constitution of the Commons, must be carried on. The adjustment of taxation upon capital and labour was better than the Frenth system of Communism ; and these reforms must be yielded. They were necessary to the ex- panding population. Mr. John TAYLOR expressed his concurrence in the motion ; and he appealed to all present if it would not have been for the benefit of the merc'aants of Liverpool had the Mersey been blocked up during the last two years—(a laugh.) He had seen many bad times, but he remembered none like the present. He hoped the recent convulsions on the Continent would turn out advan tageously in the end ; but the people of England must never forget that if they expected to realise any benefit from the Government of the day, they must fearlessly and unitedly assert that the time for imposing heavy taxation had passed. Mr. C. ROBERTSON said, it was to be regretted that when the labouring classes were so deeply suffering, they should have such an objectionable Administration. He thought it was a Government without principle ; which would move only on compulsion. It had converted a sur plus into a deficit revenue ; and so far from remedying an unjust burden which weighed upon our interest, by re moving its inequality, its plan was to equalize it by plac ing an unjust burden upon another class. Such was its proposition to increase the income-tax ; and rightly had the attempt been met in Liverpool overthrew it. If there was a deficit, the Executive was to blame. They would o injustice. The Government, he said, was the friend of the democrat, and aided his case. He de nounced the vile system of unmerited place, uncalled for pensions, purient commissions, and other glaring abuses srboard of the state—the angers-on of the court—of whom he thought the Queen would be happy to be rid. The butt hounds would be better attended to b )me respect- able groom than by an aristocratic lord. It was a menial, contemptible office. The war establishment absorbed the life-blood of commerce, it regarded men as brute beasts, -a tendency was to destroy and to blood, and was op '-"^n and he for one would rather take It was frightful to see so man millions of money dancing mysterioudy before a man's eyes. The number of admirals, he thought, ought to be sufficient for the two hemispheres, and a few odd planets; the generals, he thought, were more general than special ; and the non-effectivcs were decidedly non-effectives. Government ought rather to pension retired shareholders, who had facilitated the transit of the country, than retired incapables. There was the diplomatic staff—gentlemen miums I to draw the country into disputes which incurred a a little dock-yard bill—John Bull paying the piper. Then there were attache's, who danced and feasted for the advantage of Britain at foreign Courts. Justices and the repression of crime, miscellaneous estimates, &c., were all of the same description. How long was this state of things to be continued ? So long as the people—the heads, hands, heart of this country, would fight for party matters, and allow these monstrous grievances to exist; —so long as they failed to send men of business to Par liament—men neither to be bribed nor to be sneered —and until the whole people ranged themselves the banner of justice. The question was not a mere question of £s. d. it was a question of the rights of Government and governed—a question of a Govern ment which undermined the source of its own power. He concluded by moving the second resolution. Mr. A. H. WY LIE rose amidst applause, and proceeded to show, that though parliament was now sitting, no plan of finance had been brought forward ; and he rejoiced in the movement now making. He referred to the rebuff Liverpool had administered to the Government on the question of the budget, and denounced the Bank Act. The evidence against it was most conclusive. The expen diture of the country was unjustifiable.; and, in proof, he entered into a statement of the various items of the esti mates. He denounced the squadron on the coast of Africa as useless, though maintained at an enormous cost. He depicted the increased sufferings to the slaves which it caused. He did not wish to curtail the comfort and dig nity of a Sovereign so beloved as ours. He was sure she did not lend herself to the waste they saw. Far other wise. He thought it was derogatory to a nobleman to superintend the buckhounds. The appointments of the Ministry he also denounced. He did not see the analogy betwee - n j tVebucichOinifsnd the Board of Trade, which fitted one man for both. Ministers evidently thought the people cared not for these matters. He referred to the spectacle of Lord J. Russell sitting in the house, whilst his brother, as Sergeant-at-Arms, sat at the door , though he did so receiving " a large emolument." He referred I to the small expense of the United States Government, XTILAORDLN L ILLUSION Professor Wheatsone, in his indefatigable researches into the ab struse, but beautifully interesting, phenomena of light noperty in optics, previous to the successfully applied it, and which, while most extra )tical point of view, will probably lead to ordinary discoveries in the delicate arts of obtaining sun fli. effc.rta rocoltinv frnm them_ of ye ght pie- )out two feet long, and a few inches in breadth, at each end of which is an upright piece truly perpendicular, with a grove at top and bottom, for sliding in a picture ; in the centre of this board, at the height of the centre of the uprights, are placed two small mirrors, at angle of 45 degrees, with the edges of the board, or 90 degrees with each other, in front of which is a piece of metal with sight holes, sufficiently apart to suit the sight. On placing two calotype pictures of the same object in the grooves, against the uprights— such, for instance, as a jug, vase, piece of statuary, geo metrical figures, &c., each eye of course sees the reflec tion in the corresponding mirror of one picture only, the left hand picture being seen by the left eye, and the right hand picture by the right eye ; yet, the singular result of this arrangement is; that the spectator sees before him a fee simile of the object from which the pictures were ob tained in its original state, with the lights, the shadows, the under cuttings, and all the full roundedness and pro- jetting points ortlie solid body. In fact, so complete and beautiful is the illusion, that it is impossible, by any at tempt, to see the pictures as viewed separately, and a perfectly finished solid body is represented to the eye of the astonished viewer. It must be pictures taken by sun light, in different points of sight, to have the effect, as no two drawings by hand could be done sufficiently correct to prevent confusion in the shadows, and meeting of the corresponding lines. Professor Wheatstone, in the first instance, applied it to the representation of geometrical solids, which may be drawn mathematically true, and shaded to Nature. OUR PRESENT POSITION.—It was impossible that we should not in some degree feel the effect of the continual revolutions. Itwas impossible that one part of the politi cal machinery of Europe should be out of order without the rest being disturbed at the same time. Two-thirds of the continent have been upsetting, destroying, and recon structing for the last three months. Society has been dis- organized, institutions overturned, and trade palsied. That England should retain her composure, that English commerce should maintain its stability. and English cani- tal its security at such a crisis, was just as unlikely as that the pulsations of the heart should remain unchanged by a shock in the system and a fracture of the extremities. The disturbance of Lyons vibrates to the looms of Manches tar ; the convulsions of Paris and Berlin are felt in Liver pool and London. The distress of the burgeoiseie and the Burperschaft reacts on the manufacturer and the mer chant; and if the operative of Lancashire or Yorkshire seems worse off than his compeer at Paris, it is only be cause his master is not anticipating his wages by a com pulsory tax. nor exhausting on idleness the means of creating wealth and remunerative labour. The distress in the commercial world is indeed great; but the wonder is that is not greater. France is wholly, and Germany is partially, withdrawn from the sphere of mercantile corres • pondence. They make nothing, they import nothing. lethargy to our cater.. The palsy of French machinery clogs the action of its British fellow-labourer. When wheels cease to play and jennies to spin, coal and iron be come superfluities. Two staple trades in England are thus struck down by one heavy blow. And on these two many besides depend for support, energy, and life ! It is no wonder that in such a state of things men should be come discontented. At any time distress like the present would be acutely felt. But now it is worse than at any other. It comes at the climax of a period of bitter suf fering. It comes after the train of misery occasioned by an unexampled dearth. It comes after unprecedented sums have been sent abroad for cotton and corn. It comes, too, while the rec ollection of the years '45 and '46 is still strong in men's minds, years of golden visions and gorgeous extravagance. To expect that men should reason calmly, wait patiently, and suffer silently under such con ditions, is irreconcileable with the dictates of common sense and the lessons of ordinary experience, It is at such a time that the new reform movement commences in the north. It must be admitted that the scene is well selected. The first precept of the dramatist, Si vis me fiere, &c., is duly obeyed. In no other place could agitation rouse so great a multitude or command so great a spmpathy. The speakers and the hearers are alike in the same boat. A man has but to look around him, and his eye is sure to light on hundreds in the same plight as himself, merchants without capital, brokers without commissions, manufac turers without orders, and all the long series of trading and professional men, whose fortunes and subsistence de pend upon the prosperity of a great commercial depot, or a large and crowded port—all stunned, dismayed, and pauperized, not by one crisis, but by an array of revolu tions, not one of which could have been foretold twelve months ago. It is strange that Birmingham and Liver pool should seize this opportunity for proclaiming their grievances, courting sympathy, and demanding relief ?
