Every generation bas some anomaly which it elevates into a fashion.—Bentley's Miscellany. DEATH OF THE YANKEE LEADER.—A Cheltenham paper states, that Scott, the American saiior, whose extraordinary to.ato of leaping have frequently been b e f ore th e pu bli c, ma d e his kit leap, at Stroud, on Wednesday, having been drowned in the canal there in one of his fool-hardy attempts. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, OCT. B.—The market has not been so well attended, and business has nut been quite so brisk as it was last Monday. The coarser kind of goods continue to be yet most in demand, at prices some what similar to those of last week. The wool market has beets dull, and but little business done at any price. At a very recent meeting of the principal proprietors of the coaches, it was resolved to adopt the railway from Basing. stoke, for completing the journey from the west of England to the metropolis, from and after the 17th instant.—Western Luminary. MR. PATERNOSTER.—Mr. Richard l'aternoster, whose recent seizure and confinement as an insane person have excited so much interest in London, has, after a full investi (pities of the circumstances by the Metropolitan Commis sioners in Lunacy (set on foot immediately upon their being made acquainted with the fact), after a detention of six weeks in Mr. Finch's Lunatic Asylum, at Kensington, been released. TUX Raw HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—The inquiry which waiceminitted to Mr. Barry, Mr. De la Beche, and others, as to the stone to be employed in the erection of the new /souses of parliament, is at length closed, and specimens col lected, received from quarries in nearly every part of the kingdom. Some time, however, must elapse before the par ticular kind is fixed on, as the specimens are to form the subject of a careful examination and analysis in London. It appears that the directors of the E as t ern C oun ti es ra way s and those of the Northern and Eastern, have nearly concluded a negociation, by which they will both haven com mon terminus at Shoreditch. The land for the purpose is in possession of the Eastern Counties Company, and the direc tors of the Northern and Eastern will pay a proportionate sutra.--Ewes Herald. STRANGE DUEL.—A deplorable occurrence took place at Apt, in the Vancluse, a few days ago. Two old men, the ale aged 80, and the other 70, had quarrelled, and resolved to tight a duel. They went without any seconds into a distant field, and, after a sharp contest with swords, one of them fell mortally wounded. Some children, who were near, ran to the town to give the alarm, and the survivor was soon after arrested. INFANTICIDE IN FRANCE.—The number of infanticides and desertions of new-born children seems to be increasing every day. A few evenings since, a female infant, not three months old, was found in an unfinished house in the rue des Martyrs. Some passers-by, attracted by its cries, took it up, End conveyed it to the commissary of police of the quarter. Ua the following morning the dead body of a new-born child, wrapped in cloth, was discovered under a tree in the Allee des Veuves, Champs Elysees. INCREASE or BELFAST.—There are, at present, in course of erection, or ready for occupancy, in Belfast and its su burbs, upwards of 120 dwelling houses, many of them of the first class, exclusive of several large stores for 'the provision and other trades, and two extensive weaving factories. Bel fast, within the last twenty years, has not only doubled its population, but its extent--a rapidity of increase not sur passed, if equalled, by any other town in the united king dom.—Northern Whig. STATE or TRADE.—The yarn market continues so ex eeediagly depressed that the spinners who reel for exportation are generally talking of working short time; and it is un derstood that a number of extensive firms in Manchester and the immediate neighbourhood, ►rill cease to light up their /uteri's after the present week ; a plan, which, if generally adopted, will cause a considerable diminution in the quantity •f ♦arn produced. The demand for goods is also limited, had prices rather lower than last week.—Man. Guardian. INTERESTING GEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY. —A complete specimen of the Mastodon, in a reclined position, was lately faund near Busiris, Crawford County Court House, from five to seven feet under the surface of the ground in the Ohio. The account published in the Crauford County Republican listra ' August 14, says :—" This is the only instance in which the skull of the Mastodon has been found in a state of preservation, and it furnishes the only specimen from which correct ideas cau be obtained respecting that massive and singularly shaped organ." GENERAL POST OFFICE, LONDON.—NEW AR It ANG E katcrs.—The following order has just been issued from the General Post Office :—" The morning mails are now de spatched from London at 10 o'clock, a. in.

Al A BERLEY, Sec. DERRY OPERATIVE CONSER VA JIVE SOCIETY.—The first &usual dinner of this newly organized and fast-increasing Baciety, was held last evening (Tuesday), at :he Fox and Owl lan, is this town. The company, which consisted of more than 100 individuals, occupied two long tables, Thomas Bur roughs, Esq., surrounded by several other gentlemen of the r*orts, officiating as chairman. The evening was passed in the greatest order, regularity, and good humour, giving the hest promise of the society becoming an important auxiliary to the Conservative cause in this town.—Derby Mercury AN AWFUL INSTANCE OF MORTA LIT Y.-01.1 Thursday la*rning last, at Daddiscombsleigh, Mr. J. .Jones, a pig-killer in the neighbourhood, went to a neighbour's house to pursue his deadly avocations, and just as he had performed the ope radian of sticking his bleeding victim, he fell backwards, and are the life of the pig was extinct, the butcher had ceased to imentite. The deceased was above 50 years of age, and prior fe this awful event was in perfect health. He was a very industrious and useful man.—Exeter Post. RACING EXTRAORDINARY.—The following incident, which , 4 0e-ettered last week, at the Isle of Wight races, would seem to show that there is no cruelty in horse racing, but that the sable animal enjoys winning the race quite as much as his signer. During the r ace f or th e H un t ers ' Stakes, Mr. Smith, Ole of the stewards, had given his horse to a lad to hold as the horses were starting.- They had got about 2(X) yards when Mr. Smith's horse broke from the lad, and followed them without a rider—kept the course without cutting off any of the corners, passed both the running horses, and actually cause in first, amidst the shouts of the surrounding spectators, Ctintous EINCUTION INFRANCE.—Carmino Rosso, a Nea politan tinker, who committed a barbarous murder in January, at Drawuignan, on the person of an ex-friar, named True, was executed a few days since in that town. The last penalty of the law had not for many years been carried into effect at Draguignan, and on this occasion the execution was attended with peculiarly horrible circumstances. The knife of the geillostine not being sufficiently sharp, descended three dif erent times on the neck of the culprit without severing his head from his body, and one of the executioners was in the •Isil actually obliged to perform his tatal office with the aid of It cutlass. FLustxxxx.—Cx USE AND EFFECT.—Robert Owen gave a ftiture on bit social system on Monday, after which a gen tlemall asked him how he happened to become the only "rational being;" he, as well as others, having been sur‘- reilnded by "circumstances which made all the world irra tiena4" Mr. Owen said that, in his anxiety to go to school, he ate too soon the hot flummery intended for his and the !gamily's breakfast, which scalded him internally, and laid up; during his illness he reflected, and read much, form tati ins own views, uncontrolled by the lessons of schools. Thie explanation of reason caused much laughter.—Halifax 14Press. L 'PRISENT TO HER MAJESTY.—A pair of b ea d- em b ro id ere d 11 , 6 58 have been worked by a private lady in this city, with a of being presented to her Majesty. Immediately on the rant of the shoe, before the instep, is a neat cluster of the haves of the royal oak, surmounted by the English rose; and alleircling the foot is a rich reath, composed of the rose, the thistle, and the shamrock— w an neatly worked in appropri lktoly coloured beads.

ENORMOUS EEL. —The Berwick Advertiser says—This week there was caught in our neighbourhood a fish of the above species, which measured six feet three inches in length, 18 inches circumference, and weighed two stones three pounds and a half. The skin is now about being stuffed. NEW MAIL-COACH.—A new mail-carriage has just been put on the Strasburc , road by way of trial. It is light and commodious, being formed as a coup% with side and front windows, and a seat for the courier behind. Upon this seat, and in front of the vehicle, are boxes to receive the letter-bags, and, we believe, the luggage of the passengers, as their does not appear to he any imperial. There are two lamps outside, and a third which throws light into the interior. Mthacucous EscaPE.—On Monday last, as Richard Cargill, a workman in the employ of Mr. T Turnbull, of Whitby, watch maker, was cleaning a double barrelled gun, one of the barrels of which had been left loaded or charged, having the screwing rod in the barrel, and there being no admittance for the air he lifted the hammer up, at which the gun discharged immediately; his hand at the moment being on the screwing rod; the rod was blown to atoms, and the splinters, which flew in a ll di rec ti ons , ver y narrowly missed him, and he fortunately escaped entirely uninjured.— Leeds Intelliyencer. COACH ACCIDENT.—OR Wednesday last, about noon, as the Eclipse Manchester and Hull coach, very heavily laden, was passing down Dewsbury, on its route to Hull, the fore axle broke very near the middle, and threw the coachman and passengers upon the pavement, by which Mr. Aaron Halmshaw, blacksmith, of Lake Loch, near Wakefield, had his leg dreadfully broken by a heavy trunk falling from the top of the coach upon him; he was carried to the Hope and Anchor Inn, Dewsbury, where he now lies in rather a pre carious state. Three other persons, who were slightly in jured, proceeded on their journey. The coachman and other passengers were uninjured.—Manchester Guardian. AIR. DUNN, THE IRISH BARRISTER.— 'Phis gentleman' who has lately been somewhat unpleasantly before the public as the troublesome suitor of Miss Burdett Coutts, has been committed to York Castle by the bench of magistrates at Knaresborough, for a breach of the peace, and refusing to find sureties. He will be detained until the West Riding Sessions, which commence at Knaresborough on the 16th October. Ile is a fine-looking young man, of good address, and genteel appearance. Since the transaction at Harrow gate he has written a letter to Sir Francis Burdett, and after stating his intentions to be honourable, and his love the most ardent, concludes by expressing no doubt that at length he will come off with flying colours. In the castle he is sub jected to the same treatment as prisoners on a charge of fe lony, and we presume this will bring the hot-headad lover to his right mind. A PRISONER KILLED ON A TREADMILL—OR Wednes day a young man named George Lordon, a prisoner in the Shropshire county gaol, was working with the other pri soners on the treadmill, when the lever held by a man ad joining the prisoner was unhooked by a convict named Johnson, and a blow was made at deceased by a prisoner. Lordon suddenly turned aside to avoid the blow reaching him, when he was caught between the lever and the wall, and so dreadfully squeezed that he died on the following Friday from inflammation in the bowels caused by the in jury he had received. At the inquest the jury thought that Cahill, the man who struck the blow, was implicated in Lordon's death, but ultimately came to a resolution to re turn a verdict of accidental death, with a deodand of 10s. on the treadmill The deceased was committed fur vagrancy. —Salopian Journal. NOVEL FIGHT.—OR Monday night last, one of the chie f authorities of Dewsbury having occasion to go through the yard of the most celebrated of our Dewsbury inns, i. e. the Man and Saddle, was alarmed by hearing cries for help issuing from the brewhouse : he proceeded there and found one of mine hosts' . regular customers, who had been indul ging in deep potations of nut brown ale, laid upon his back, loudly crying for help, and requesting sonic one to take his opponent away, stating he had never before been used so ill, at the same time using his fists with great dexterity; the worthy conservator of the peace seeing at a glance how matters stood, summoned assistance from the house, and re leased the Bacchanalian knight nom his adversary, which proved to be, not mortal man or ghostly foe, but a large sack of malt, which by some means or other he contrived to pull upon himself in endeavouring to get out of a place which he could have had no business to enter; after his release he begged to have another drop, remarking he liked the spirit much better than the body of the malt. LATIN AND L tnoun.—The following anecdote was related by the late John Adams, (ot one time president lithe 'United States,) even to the last days of his life, with all that good humour which was so characteristic of him, and, it is pre sumed, has not vet passed away front the minds of many who have heard it from his own lips; a few only of his strong expressions are remembered:—" When I was a boy, I had to studs , the Latin grammar; but it was dull, and I hated it. Illy father was anxious to send me to college, and therefore I studied the grammar till I could bear with it no longer; and, going to my father, I told him I did not like study, and asked for some other employment. It was opposing his wishes, and he was quick in his answer. • Well, John,' said he, if Latin grammar does not suit you, you may try ditch ing' perhaps that my meadow yonder needs a_ dit c h, and you may put by Latin, and try that.' This seemed a delightful change, and to the meadow I went. But I soon found ditching harder than Latin. and the first forenoon was the longest I ever experienced. That day I ate the bread o f labour, and glad was I when night came on. That night I made some comparison between Latin grammar and ditch ing, but said not a word about it. I dug the next forenoon, and wanted to return to Latin at dinner, but it was humilia ting, and I could not do it. At night toil conquered pride, and I told my father (one of the severest trials of my life) that, if he chose, I would go back to Latin grammar. lie was glad of it; and if I have since gained any distinction, it has been owing to the two d a y s ' labour in that abominable ditch."—Salem Gazette. EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT.—OD Wednesday last, as Mr- Charles Hunt, traveller to Messrs. Clench and Co., wine merchants of Exeter, was engaged on business at the Lobster Inn, near Teignmouth, the horse, with a gig, which had been left at the door, took fright, supposed to have been stung by a wasp, and plunged at a gate leading to the court-yard. This it dragged, together with a cart with which it came in contact, over a hedge into an adjoining field, and con tinued running at a frightful rate, passing over large heaps of culm.and limestone, by which at length the cart was up set, and the gate thrown off. The horse, with the gig attach ed, passed on to a cliff on the seashore, upwards of a hundred feet high, over which it bounded with the utmost speed. Mr. Hunt, with other persons, followed, but, in consequence of the precipice being perpendicular, were obliged to take the course of what is called Smuggler's Lane, to come to the foot of the cliff, where they expected to find the shattered remains of the horse and gig. To their surprise, however, on coming to the spot neither horse nor gig were there; on looking up, they saw the gig about 50 feet from the summit, caught in a tree, and the horse actually suspended in the air by the harness. They then adopted means for rescuing the horse, by attaching a rope from the top of the cliff round the neck, freeing it from the harness, and lowering it to the shore. Strange to say, the horse received scarcely any injury ; the gig was broken to pieces. The greatest praise is due to two gentlemen, Messrs. Lee and Bremridge, for their prompt assistance. —Exeter Flying Pus:. C LER ICA!, PLLR A LlTlES.—Every parochial clergyman throughout the kingdom has within the last week or two re ceived from government a copy of "An act to abridge the holding Benefices in Plurality, to make better provision for the residence of the Clergy," passed 14th August, 1838. This bill, fifty-four pages, contains no less than one hundred and thirty-three clauses, and many of them extremely strin gent in their provisions and enactments. Not more than two preferments can be held in future by the same person, under any circumstances, whether in Cathedral or Collegiate Churches, or Rural Benefices—Mir two Benefices unless within ten statute miles of each other; and then under limi tations as to amount in value and population. Accepting preferment contrary to this act vacates any Benefice a cler gyman may have previously been in possession of, and ran ders it ipso facto void. Licenses, whether for non-residence, or for curates, are made much more strict and binding in the present bill than in any former ecclesiastical law; and a more summary power is vested in the Bishops for enforcing obedierwe and compliance. The power of Bishops for mort gaging the glebe of any vacant benefice in their Diocese, to build a Parsonage House, may be called arbitrary indeed— while their legal authority over the clergy generally is greatly increased. Whether these stringent provisions may be for good or for evil to the church, time must prove. LE VOLEUR MALGRE Lum.—The proprietor of a small house in the Rue du Haut Moulin, in the cite, occupied the upper part, and let the two lower stories to different tenants. Having from time to time lost various valuable articles be longing to him, he began to fear that he was unfortunate in his choice of tenants, and even at length entertained suspi cions of his own brother, who was one of them. To accuse his relative without proof would, he justly felt, bring dishonor upon himself, and he therefore kindly gave him notice, not many days since, to quit. In the mean time he set a species of trap in the place where he kept his plate, so contrived that any hand which might attempt to steal it would be caught in the act, and the thief held fast. The night before the brother was to remove, he was awakened by the cries ofthe suspicious proprietor, and, hastening up to his apartment, found him caught in his own snare, his hand grasping a silver fork and spoon. On investigation it was ascertained that the pro prietor was the only perpetrator of the several robberies upon himself, which he had committed in a state of somnambulism; for, on being afterwards watched by his brother, he was seen, while in his sleep, to get up, take his own watch, and go with it to the common sewer, into which he threw it. On search ing the place the following day for the watch, all the missing articles were found in the same receptacle.—Galignani's Messenger. DREADFUL COACH ACCIDENT AT SOUTH QUEENS-FERRY, SCOTLAND.—Yesterday, about one o'clock afternoon, whilst the Coburg coach, on its way from Perth to Edinburgh, was receiving the passengers and luggage from the steamer, at Newwhalls Pier, South Queensferry, the leader suddenly wheeled round; and, notwithstanding that the guard and coachman, who were then busy stowing the luggage, were al most instantly at their head, assisted by M r . G eorge Mitchell, of the New halls Inn, both the coach and the horses were sud denly precipitated over the quay. Some of the outside pas sengers escaped by throwing them on the pier; but those in the inside were less fortunate. The inside passengers were, Mr. Ellis, Royal Terrace, Edinburgh ; rs. Captain M‘Duff; Miss M`Duff, a girl about thirteen years of age; and an el derly female, servant to Mrs. M'Duff. The coach having fallen into the sea on its side, Mrs. M`Duff and Mr. Ellis managed to get their heads thrust out of the window above the water, until extricated from their perilous situation by Robert Beveridge, the engineer of the ferry steamer. The other two, Miss M'Duff and the servant, were, we regret to state, taken out entirely lifeless. The only outside passen ger who kept his place on the coach until it was precipitated into the water, was pitched into the sea a considerable dis- tance, but fortunately saved himself by swimming ashore. The pole having broken, the leading horses were saved; but the two wheel horses were drowned. Captai❑ M`Duff, and other members of his family, were passengers by the same coach, but had not taken their seats when the accident occur red, The melancholy result is entirely attributable to the dangerous practice, recently introduced, of loading the coach on the quay instead of at the inn as formerly, and at the same time leaving the horses' heads unattended.—Scotsman. CAUTION TO ENGINEERS.—About two years since, Mr. Hind, well know❑ in London as an engineer and builder of several gas-works, and who was an assistant of the late cele brated Mr. Windsor, was induced by the Russian govern ment to go over to St. Petersburg to erect and superintend the imperial gas-works then about to be established, at a salary of 1.:800 per annum. One year's salary was paid him in advance, by way of outfit; and he soo❑ afterwards sent for his wife and family, who joined him. In this country there are certain perquisites belonging to the engineers of such establishments, amongst which is the superabundant quantity of rough lead cut from off the p;pes where they are joined. Tbese cuttings in large works amount to a consi derable quantity, and Mr. Hind, considering that he would be entitled to the same perquisites in Russia as in England, sold the cuttings; for which it is - -understood by his friends that he has bee❑ banished to Siberia. The circumstance has attracted considerable attention with scientific mecha nics in London, as great inducements are now held out by the Russian government for intelligent individuals to settle in that country. We understand t h at the directors of the Equitable Gas Company, whose works Mr. Hind erected at Vauxhall, have, with a laudable spirit reflecting great credit upon them, presented a memorial to the Russian A mbassa- dor at our court, to request that he will cause an inquiry to be made on the subject of the painful banishment of this in dividual to Siberia. Hind was well known and highly respected in the profession; and the Independent Gas works at Haggerstone, so celebrated for commodiousness, were amongst those erected by him. He has also established many of the first companies in tho metropolis, and several Provincial towns and 'cities of Eculand. Fresh accounts are . _ looked for anxiously by his frieinis;htit it is feared that the report of his banishment to the 6:su:ate climes of Siberia is but too true. —Chronicle. FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 12, 1838. 217' The Publication of the STANDARD commenced this morning at 5 o'clock. THE REVENUE.—The abstract of the state of the re venue for the quarter ending on Wednesday last has been published. It exhibits a slight improvement, both as regards the preceding quarter, and the preceding year. On the year the total increase amounts to £741,045; —on the quarter the increase amounts to £655,910. The customs show an increase on the year of £450,675, and on the quarter of £33,155. The excise show a de crease on the year of £179,450, and an increase on the quarter iof £388,492. The stamps show an increase on the year of £174,922, and on the quarter of X 129,224 The taxes show a decrease on theyear of £46,223, and an increase on the quarter of £19,953. From the post office there has been derived an increased revenue, on the year of £45,257, and the decrease on the quarter is £8,006. The crown lands have yielded an increase on the year of £140,000, and on the quarter of £65,000. The miscellaneous receipts have increased on the year £146, and on the quarter £5,675. On this statement the Morning Herald of yesterday has the following remarks:— - " It must be borne in mind, however, that this im • provement in the state of the revenue is an improve ment, only relatively to the two preceding years—the most disasti ous, almost, in the history of English finance. On these two years, as compared with those which preceded them, there was a decline in the income of the country, to the extent of nearly £3,000,000. And, although, during the last quarter, things have mended a little ;—yet the slight increase will be found by no means adequate to meet the greatly increased outlay of public money consequent on the Canadian rebellion, and other emergencies of the public service. "There is one important fact embodied in the abstract of the revenue just published—important, in so far as it illustrates the influence of Whig principles of govern ment on the condition of the labouring poor. There was, last year, a marked decline in the national income derived from exciseable articles ;—and this year, despite the slight improvement in other departments, there ap pears a further decline in the excise returns. Our financial documents supply no other test so decisive as to the measure of the poor man's enjoyments. The result before us is quite in accordance with the genius of whiggery. The march of 'reform' has gradually and regularly lessened the labourer's comforts." THE REGISTRATIONS.—The progress of the regis trations continues to be favourable to the conservative cause. There is scarcely a solitary exception to be made to this satisfactory statement, although the libe rals have been'endeavouring, by the creation of faggot voters, to swamp the genuine constituency of the country. Thanks to the vigilance of the conservative agents, their nefarious schemes have been, in most in stances, completely frustrated. The progress of con servative principles in the county of Middlesex is of the most encouraging character, and ought to stimu late to increased zeal, energy, and activity in the de fence of our glorious constitution in church and state. From the statement which we subjoin, and to wWe'l we refer our readers with feelings of exultation, it will be perceived that the radical faction have no chance of dividing the representation of Middlesex in future. The following we extract from the London journals : " PROGRESS OF CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES IN MIDDLESEX. POLL IN 1833. Mr. Hume Sir Charles Forbes ..1494 Radical majority 1744 POLL IN 1835.

But as, in this class, there would still remain a considerable number of doubtful' or unknown,' it is thought best not at present to introduce them into the calculation. As far as answers have yet been received, the propor tion of the Conservative claimants of the present year to the Radicals appears to be as 5 to 2." We are also glad to learn, from the Dublin Evening Hail, that the Irish metropolitan county is also "quite safe." Thus fortified in our hopes of success on all sides, we do not, for a moment, dread the occur rence of a general election, come whenever it may. The result of another appeal to the people would prove the downfal of the Melbourne-O'Connell ministry. Their doom has been long since irrevocably fixed. THE PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION.—The Liverpool Journal, the especial organ of the Papists of this town, though not the most Papistical in its character, in an article as vulgar and as scurrilous as ever dis graced the columns of the most degraded among the unstamped publications of that sink of iniquity, the metropolis, has ventured to attack the speakers and to pour contempt upon the proceedings of the late meet ing, at the Amphitheatre, of the Protestant Association. We feel confident that no one, possessing the feelings of a gentleman, or entertaining any regard for the usages of civilized life, could possibly envy the repu tation of a writer who, in the plenitude of his conceit and self-sufficiency, has the hardihood to compare the Protestant meeting to the assemblage of beasts in the Old Infirmary ground. Is the author of this scandal ous outrage upon public decency—this audacious in sult to the understandings,and even theicommon sense of his readers—is the perpetrator of the mass of ab surdities to which we allude really aware of the cha racter of the meeting which he strives to turn into ri dicule ? Can he be, indeed, ignorant that, among, the thousands who thionged the Amphitheatre on Thurs day last, there were to be found some hundreds of the most respectable merchants and professional men in this neighbourhood ? Is he ignorant also of the fact that considerably above the half of that vast assem blage was composed of the most lovely, the most vir tuous, and the most religious of the ladies of Liver pool ? The evidence of his own eyes might have con vinced him at least of the loveliness of the audience which he so ungallantly compares to an assemblage of beasts "bellowing and braying." What will the mo dest wives and daughters who graced the proceedings of the day with their presence say to a writer who designates them as " a collection of animals much more noisy, and scarcely more rational" than the "beasts" at the agricultural show ? Would this Po pish scribe have employed such terms in describing a meeting differently constituted—a meeting of the filthy, degraded, and demoralised Irish Papists of the town? We trow not. Such an assemblage, reeking from the contamination of the confession box and the gin shop, and scandalising public decorum by their yells and execrations, would be pronounced as the most orderly that could be conceived. But a meeting, chiefly composed of the ladies and gentlemen of Liver pool, simply because they happen to be Protestants, are declared, in spite of their peaceable and orderly demeanour, to be " deficient in decency and good manners." Let this calumniator stand forth and ad duce a single instance of indecency or bad manners in connection with the meeting on Thursday. We defy him to substantiate his sweeping charge. In attempt ing to do so we would have him to reflect that his in discriminate condemnation of the audience applies to ;nearly three thousand of the most respectable females in Liverpool. Has he any evidence to prove that they 'were guilty of indecent conduct, or of it:flinging the laws of good manners? If he has not, t o w h om d o his observations apply? The Journal characterises the meeting of the Pro testant Association as an " Anti-Catholic" meeting. It was no such thing. The Protestant Association does not acknowledge the title of the Church of Rome to the assumption of the term " catholic." The meet ing was an " Anti•Popish" meeting. It was a meet ing to expose the frauds, to attack the heresies, and to expose the abominations of the fore-doomed GREAT APOSTACY. It was a meeting in defence of the " ca tholic truth," from which the apostate Church of Rome has departed. The Journal acknowledges that the Amphitheatre was " pretty nearly filled;" but falsely asserts that the audience was composed of " foolish women and igno rant children, and a sprinkling of yet more foolish and ignorant men." Of what modest assurance is this writer possessed! How gallant to the fair sex! How superciliously confident in his ow❑ superior sense and discernment ! Has it never occurred to him that some - persons might be apt to reckon him as an item in the account of the " more foolish and ignorant men" who were present at the meeting, to cavil at what they did mot understand ? Has it never occurred to him, that many of the " foolish women and ignorant children," who were present, could afford to look down with pity on his own consummate dulness ? Let it suffice the writer in the Journal to be told—and we tell it with every confidence in the truth of our assertion—that there were hundreds present at the Amphitheatre, ex clusive of the clergymen on the platform, with whom it would be almost an insult to common sense to corn pare the author of the drivelling nonsense, upon which we are compelled to bestow our notice. The Journal says that the " last year, and the year before, these meetings were of some importance," and most oddly assigns as a reason, that " the endowment affair was then proceeding !" What imaginable con nection could there be between the endowment ques tion and the exposition of theerrors of Popery ? The objects of the Protestant Association are of a general, and not of a local character, and, therefore, the endow ment question, which involved no general principle, could not confer any "importance" on the proceedings at its meetings. The " school question" was of a dif- ferent character. That subject is intimately connected with the secret workings and machinations of the Po pish system, and was, therefore, very properly intro duced into the discussions of the Protestant Associa tion. The Journal seems to assume the character of a n arbiter in the matters of "decency and good manners," and yet ventures to designate the Rev. Messrs. Gregg, M'Neile, Ralph, and M'Grhee, as "two Irish vagrants, and an Irish and a Scotch interloper." Our readers need not be informed that the Journal employs this singularly elegant and polite phraseology to four of the most gifted, eloquent, pious, and laborious clergy men in the British dominions, each of whom possesses " more learning in his little finger " than this Popish " interloper" does in his whole body. On what authority does the Journal assert that " the speeches abounded with filth and folly ?" We have already furnished the public with a copious report of the speeches. In which of them does the Journal dis cover " filth and folly ? We can recognise no such in gredients, excepting, indeed, they are to be found in the extracts read from various Popish publications. If the Journal alludes to these, it is quite welcome ; but we do not agree with him that they have " lost all claim to attention on the score of novelty." The " filth and folly" of the apostate Church of Rome are so identified with its doctrinal system, and so amalga mated with its demoralizing discipline, that it becomes the imperative, but painful, duty of every lover of wis dom and purity to expOse them to the reprobation of mankind. We can well appreciate the soreness of the Papists on the subject of the " filth and folly" of Peter Dens, and the other casuists of the Church of Rome ; but it is taking r a th er too gr e at a lib erty with truth, to impute these abominations to those who are so se dulously engaged in denouncing them. If it be an act of impropriety in Protestant clergymen to allude in the most delicate manner to this " filth and folly," what must be the degree of criminality attached to the authors who have laboured so diligently in their pro pagation ? Let the Journal answer. The Journal accuses the speakers at the Protestant meeting of slandering the Irish Papists, their clergy, and their religion. If truth be a slander, we acknow ledge that the charge is well-founded. Let the Jour nal prove that the Popish priests have been otherwise than thus slandered. Is "to rave about the beast in the Revelations" to be considered as a slander upon the Church of Rome ? If so, the more of such slan der we have the better ; but let us not call it "ray ing," for that would imply a censure upon the Bible itself. The Journal jumps too hastily to a conclusion when _ . it takes it for granted that the " attacks" of the Pro testant Association "have ceased to have political im portance." We beg to assure the Journal that he could not be guilty of a more unfounded assumption. The labours of the Protestant Association have con tributed far more signally to further the conservative reaction, now making such triumphant progress through the length and breadth of the land, than the most eloquent speeches delivered within or without the walls of the houses of Parliament on merely political topics. The missionaries of this associa tion have been successful in opening the eyes of the British public to the dangers which surrouni the best interests of the country—to the wily machinations of the Jesuits—to the " filth and folly" which are infused into the mass of the population through the teachings of the Popish priests—to the foul and monstrous per jury which stalks unblushingly in the very legislature —and to the inevitable ruin and national calamities which are the bitter fruits of Popish ascendancy. This is the true secret of tl,•e hostility manifested by the ra dical, Popish, and infidel press against the operations of the Protestant Association. Hence arises the con tumely with which such men as the Rev. Hugh INPNeile, the Rev. T. D. Gregg, the Rev. Dr. Sullivan, and the Rev. R. G. Nl‘Gliee areloaded by the republican press. We would particularly wish to impress upon the minds of our readers that the most effectual method of stirring up the people to a sense of the danger to which the time-reverend institutions of our county are ex. posed, is to promote the Protestant reaction now in progress. Conservative reaction will always follow in the wake of Protestant reaction. The latter is a deeper and more abiding sort of thing —a stronger irn , pulse—a more powerful feeling. O'Connell has set up the "Repeal of the Union," meaning thereby Po pish Ascendancy, as his ultimo ratio. Let PROTESTANT ASCENDANCY, then, be our ultimo ratio. In this lies our only security against national perdition. This will procure for us honest, wise, and Christian legisla tors. This will avert from us the judgments denouced against " the followers of the beast that sitteth upon sevAn • : • The Journal talks of the "stale prosing of M'Ghee," and "the equally stale ranting of ITNeile." We pre sume that no species of prosing or ranting would prove more unacceptable in the eyes of the editor of the Jour nel than the quotations from scripture which the speak ers at the meetings of the Protestant Association so provokingly introduce in their addresseS to the public. To the Papist there is nothing so " stale" and unwel come as the palpable denunciations in the scriptures of the Church of which he is a member. The miserable perversions, and the pitiable suppres sions of truth, of which the Journal is guilty, while animadverting on an isolated passage in the speech delivered by the Rev. T. D. Gregg, we consider en tirely unworthy of notice. The sophistries to which the 'Journal resorts are too transparent to deceive the most ignorant of his readers. The Liverpoel Times has also indulged in some lengthy and prosing remarks on the proceedings of Thursday last. To these we shall address ourselves on Tuesday. THE WAREHOUSE QUESTION.—We are compelled to defer our observations on the proceedings in the Town Council on this question until Tuesday next, when we shall examine it in all its bearings. In the mean time we congratulate the public upon the tri umphant issue of the division which took place. No doubt our sage councillors, or at least some of them, were influenced in their decision by a wholesome dread of the ordeal through which they will have to pass on the first of November. However, we must add that the present advantage over thefoe is no secu rity against any future attack. The monopolising monster is only scotched—not killed. Our friends must be on the alert, especially between this and the first of next month, when the liberals will be once more put upon their trial. LIVERPOOL MEDICAL INSTITUTION, THE LADIES' BAZAAR, The ladies' bazaar, in aid of the pecuniary resources of this useful and valuable institution, bids f a i r to b e em i nent l y successful. From present appearances, we have no doubt whatever that the object which it was designed to accomplish, viz., the raising a sufficient fund to liquidate the debt which has hitherto pressed heavily upon the interests, and crippled or restrained the energies of the institution, will be realized. The bazarr was opened on Wednesday morning at eleven o'clock, in the new building at the corner of Hope-street, Mount-pleasant, and was attended by a great proportion of the beauty and fashion of Liverpool, down to four o'clock in the afternoon, when the exhibition closed for the day, to be re-opened yesterday, and to be continued until the whole of the articles, furnished by the industry and ingenuity of the fair contributors, have been disposed of. We hope, and, in deed, have no fear, that they will be sold to advantage. In the entrance hall was stationed Mr. Stubbs's Royal Harmonic Band, who performed at intervals select pieces from the most popular works of ancient and modern, native and foreign composers. The staircase, by which access is gained to the exhibition rooms, was handsomely decorated with evergreens and dahlias of an infinite variety of tint, and had a very pleasing and animated appearance. The rooms in which the bazaar is holding are three in number, and are those intended for the Pathological Museum. They are not so extensive as might have been considered desirable for the purposes of, this bazaar, but were fitted up with great neatness and taste. The decorations chiefly con sisted of - pink and white draperies, dahlias and evergreens, very prettily arranged, with two large crimson silk flags in the centre room, on which appeared the gratifying inscrio tions—" The Town and Trade of Liverpool," and " Gtid save the Queen." There were three tables in the room, and two in the apart ment to the right; that on the left was devoted to the sale of confectionary, wines, fruits, and other refreshments. A vast variety of useful and of nainental articles were submitted, and their claims enforced with that success which female solici tation never fails to command. Standing at the door of the refreshment room and looking to the opposite end, the coup Wail was most magnificent. At the first table, Mrs. Lloyd, of Aigburth, presided, with Mrs., Tinnev, Mrs. J ames Foster, and Miss Lloyd. The collection which they offered was truly elegant, and com manded universal admiration. Amongst the articles which Ke particularly noticed were a beautiful chair with a frame of rosewood and back and seat of needlework, a pair of ottomans, which, we observed, were to be disposed of by lottery, if not sold at the price at which they were ticketed— viz , ten guineas —and an elegant ornament of beetle-work for the hair. Mrs. Jeffreys, of Great George's Square, with Mrs Tav leu re, Miss Green, and Miss Bridge, had charge of the second table. They exhibited a very chastely executed group of wax flowers, a number of beautiful drawings of heads, a foot stool of quite a novel pattern, with the centre of needlework; a screen of needlework, very pretty, representing an old musician teaching a youth to perform on the violin. The figures are admirably pourtrayed. This production, we ob served, is to be raffled for, if not otherwise disposed of—the price eight guineas. There was on this table also a very in geniously con ;tructed model of an old gipsy pedlar. The third table was occupied by Mrs. Cheesborough, who was fortunate in having some splended specimens of needle work, amongst numerous other matters of very superior merit. Two sofa pillows, one of them representing a mounted mameluke, and the other Titian's daughter, were superb in the execution, and attracted much and deserved admiration. The effect given to the representation of the right hand in the latter picture surpassed anything of the kind we ever witnessed. The next table was under the control of Mrs. Chorley, of St. Anne-street, and Mrs. Richard Bateson, assisted by Mrs. Ambrose Lace, the Misses Bateson, and Miss Charley. They produced, for the attraction of customers, some beautiful copies of Prout's interiors, a group of flowers in needlework, intended for a screen, a piece of elegant and valuable em broidery on black satin, representing a group of various coloured birds; some composition models, received from Warwick, and executed by the only person in England ac quainted with the secret of their mancufacture ; and a port folio containing some very beautiful heads of Jacobo and :►'eresa. • Mrs. Dawson, of Mount Pleasant, had the management of the fifth table, assisted by Mrs. Ross and Miss Jackson. They had a profusion of elegant work of various descriptions. In the centre was a drawing-room chair of rosewood, inlaid with mother-of-pearl, the seat exhibiting a beautiful group of flowers in needlework. We noticed also two small card board models of Bath Abbey and another place of worship, which had been presented by Mrs. Joseph Langton, of Great George-square; some elegant hand-screens, forwarded by Mrs., Earle, of Spekl an d ; a super b p i ece of needlework, in an oak frame, representing an old lady at breakfast, and which would be an excellent companion for the musician at Mrs. Jeffrey's table ; the model of a country school, the minuteness of description being exquisite, and which was ticketed "to be sold with the good will of the concern." This we understand was a part of the donation from Mrs. Higginson. A beautiful drawing, in water colours, of Lake Ogwen, North \Vales, by Mrs. Horsfall, of Everton, and part of her donation. A small miniature, the donation of an eminent artist. A view of Point Neuf, in Paris, by Mr. Gawin Herdman, and an admirable lithographic portrait of Dr. Rutter, the president of the institution, by the same artist. In the rooms were also tables filled with clothing for the poor. _ . The refreshment-room, at the table of which the ladies above-mentioned presided in rotation, was not the least attrac tive portion of the exhibition. There were some delicious grapes, white and black, a portion of them forwarded from Croxteth; peaches and nectarines, chiefly furnished by Mrs. Preston, of Fir-grove; pine-apples, melons, confectionary of every description, and wines of various qualities, from hum ble port to imperial tokay. There was here a very curious model of a bazaar, construct ed-by Miss Morland, of Everton-lodge, and the young ladies of her'seminary, and being a part of their donation, amount ing to between forty and fifty pounds. This ingenious trifle, for the accommodation of the younger members of the com munity, will be disposed of by lottery—the tickets five shill ings each. We should not omit to mention that Mrs. Ireland Black borne, the lady of the respected member in parliament for Warrington, Mrs. Joseph Langton, and Mrs. Trail' occasion ally assisted all the ladies who were stationed at the various stalls, and delighted the company by their affability. Mrs. Blackburne in particular, we should mention, without mean ing- at all to disparage the exertions and the liberality of the other ladies who have lent their countenance and given their active support to this bazaar, has been most indefatigable in her efforts to promote its prosperity, from a just apprecia tion of the motives for which the institution was formed. The lady patronesses were the Marhcioness of Salisbury, the Countess of Wilton, Lady Francis Sandpn, Lady Moly neux, and Mrs. Ireland Blackburne. • Lady Frances Slndon kindly contributed some articles of needlework, and his lordship sent a donation of money. A number of other opulent individuals also sent pecuniary do nations. From Mrs. Hugh Jones, of Lark Hill, £25 were received; £2O each from Richard Dawson, Esq. of Mount pleasant; William Fawcett, Esq. of York-street, and Charles Tayleur, Esq. £lO 10s. each from W. W. Manifold, Esq. and Charles W. Jones, Esq. of Vernon-street. £lO each from W. P. Preston, Esq. Rock-house; Thomas Rodick, Esq., Gateacre; W. Nixon, Esq. Vernon-street; Henry Holmes, Esq. Everton Brow; John Hall, Esq.; Mrs. Mus pratt, Pembroke-street; W. R. Preston, Esq.. Aigburth; Mrs. Rathbone, Woodcroft ; Mrs. Preston, Fir Grove; Miss 0. Jackson; Nicholas Robinson, Esq., Sudleigh; Miss Fos ter and Mr. and Miss L loyd for work sold before the bazaar; and Mrs. Dawson for ditto. £5 each from Lady Clayton, of Larches, near Wigan • Park, E sq ., M ount - p l easant; Thomas Foster, Esq., Wootton; John Richardson, Esq., Rodney-street; William Harvey, Esq., Cheapside; Enoch Harvey, Esq., ditto; Thomas Harvey, Esq., ditto; John Robert Preston, Esq., Vernon-street; Allan Kaye, Esq.; Sir G. Drinkwater; W. Brown, Esq., Richmond Hill; -- Shaw, Esq., Springfield-street; Mrs. Moss, Otterspool; James Molyneux, Esq., Duke-street; Mrs. and Miss Leigh, Abercromby-square; Mrs. Touimin ; Dr. Nichol, Rodney street; Franklin Preston, Esq. There were many other do nations of two guineas and one guinea, and altogether, before the bazaar opened, there had been received somewhere about £4OO. The amount realized from the sales and collection at the doors during the day we were not able to ascertain, but it must have been considerable, from the interest which the an nouncement of the intention to hold the bazaar had excited amongst the opulent inhabitants of the town and neighbour hood, and the general knowledge that the institution had ready been of infinite service in seasons of pestilential visita tion amongst the poorer classes. The debt with which the institution is encumbered is stated to be somewhere about £lOOO, and as many handsome donations will yet be forward ed, we have strong hopes that at the close of the bazaar there will be an ample sum in h an d f or it s comp l ete li qu idation.— Mail.

A TROUBLESOME RELATIVE.—John Pennington, a good ookiog man, who was placed at the bar at the Police-office without his coat, was charged, on Tuesday, by his brother, Pennington, George Ogden, and others, with having used threatening language for the purpose of extorting money from them. Mr. Ogden stated that on Tuesday week the prisoner called upon him at his house, and asked if his brother had been there. Witness said he had. The prisoner said, " Did he say anything about me ?" Witness replied, " No, he only said h e w i s h e d you to keep sober." 'I he prisoner immediately became very violent: he threatened Mr. Ogden, and said, "I will have vengeance on my brother ; I will shoot him ; l'll blow ou t hi s li v e r an d hi s heart. " Mr. Hall thought if he blew out the last, he would have no occasion to meddle with the first. Another gentleman deposed that he had frequently heard the prisoner threaten that he would blow out his brother's brains. On the day in question, he said he would blow his brother's brains out first, and his own afterwards. Mr. Pennington stated that he was a brewer. His brother had for a long time been a great annoyance to him. He would not work, and spent what money was given to him in drink. So long as funds were forthcoming, he was continually drunk. He (Mr. Pennington) had supplied him with money from time to time, but he was unwilling to en courage him in idleness and dissipatipn. When the prisoner found this he endeavoured to extort money from him, and when he refused, he (the prisoner) said he should not have an opportunity of refusing any more, for be.would shoot him. Witness was obliged to get out at the back door, but his brother afterwards waylaid him, and so alarmed him by his conduct that he gave him three sovereigns. He had since then frequently threatened to blow out his (witness's) brain's. The prisoner in his defence said he was brought up a pilot. He complained that he had never been put to any better business, or he should perhaps have done well. Mr. Hall ordered him to find good bail to keep the peace. FALSE STAMPS ow PLATE.—A Scotchman, named Ed wards was on Tuesday placed at the bar of the Police office. Mr. Dowling said he had received directions from the authorities of Glasgow to take the prisoner into custody on a charge of having in that city been a manufacturer of false stamps. Another individual, connected with the pri soner, was in custody in Glasgow for the same offence. The prisoner was apprehended by Ainsworth, to whom he ex plained that he was the servant of the other individual who was charged as his accomplice. He (Mr. Dowling) had written to Glasgow, and expected an answer shortly. The prisoner said he had never been concerned in manufacturing stamps. What he did was done openly. It was merely altering old silver spoons into forks. He had been in Li verpool about eighteen months, working regularly and pub licly. If he bad known that he was wanted in Glasgow, he would have gone there with his family of his own accord, and have faced the charge. On looking over the documents from Glasgow, it appeared that the prisoner and his partner ur employer, had taken portions of the handles of old silver spoons, with the stamps and silversmiths' mark upon them,. welded or joined them to forks of inferior metal, which thus passed for silver from the hands of authorised and respectable manufacturers.—The prisoner was remanded till intelligence is received from Glasgow. STABBING.—On Tuesday, at the Police-office, Robert Geeham was charged with having stabbed Samuel Leeny, in Great Howard-street, on 'Thursday last. The prisoner, who is a native of Belfast, has been for some time in the army, and is a pensi oner . H e was b roug h t up on Friday last, but was remanded both then and on Saturday, in order that the injured man might appear against him. l'he latter had not been in any danger. The following is the evidence brought forward. Samuel Leeny stated, that he was a la bourer, residing at No. 1, Crown -court, Highfield-street. A few minutes before nine o'clock, on Thursday night last, he was on his way home through Great Howard-street. When he got opposite the shop of Mr. Scholes, the prisoner ran out of that shop, and without any thing having passed, stabbed him with a large knife in the thigh. The man dropped the knife upon the footway, and afterwards stooped and picked it up. Witness retreated to the middle of the street. The prisoner followed him and held up the knife to stab him again. Witness said, " I have not done anything to you," upon which the prisoner turned from him and entered the shop. Witness looked fora police-officer, but could not find one. The prisoner left the shop, and witness followed him into Barton-street, and from thence to Waterloo-road, where he gave him into the custody of constable John Charlton. Witness further stated, that the prisoner was a stranger to him, and he had not had any quarrel with him. Mr. M'Cartney, surgeon, Oldhall street, examined the wound and dressed it.. The wound bled very much. His stockings were saturated with blood. His coat, trowsers, stockings and drawers, were cut through. Witness remained very ill. Joseph Threlfall, a shop-boy with Mr. Scholes, 45, Great Howard-street, stated, that he was in the shop a few minutes before nine o'clock on Thursday night last, when the pri soner, Robert Geeham, entered, and walked up to the coun ter where a large shop knife lay. Without saying a word, he took up the knife and ran out. He was away two or three minutes, when he returned and threw the knife on the counter. He departed without having spoken. He (wit ness) went to the shop-door, and the complainant advanced and asked which way he had gone. Witness told him, and the complainant followed. The prisoner was brought back to the shop, and witness identified him. He denied that he was the person. Witness knew him very well, as he dealt with his master. John Charlton stated, that at nine o'clock on Thursday evening, he was on duty at the Waterloo Dock gate, when the witness Leeny gave the prisoner in charge. The Wound which the prisoner had inflicted was two inches in length and very deep. It bled very much. Thd prisoner denied repeatedly that he had stabbed the complainant. The prisoner was a little in liquor. The prisoner in his defence said; on Thursday evening he had taken some drink. He was passing along Great Howard -street, when a number of persons collected round him, and began t o j eer hi m, ca lli ng him "Drunken Paddy," and other names. At length they began to throw stones after him. He did not know how he acted, but he certainly did not see the complainant there, nor was he one of the persons who had offended him. The complainant said, he saw a crowd, but he diverged into the middle of the street to avoid it. Mr. Hall: I shall send him to take his trial.—Prisoner: Allow me to speak three words. Don't send me for trial. If he (the complainant) will forgive me, I'll give him anything; he shall have all I have in the world. I did not intend to have hurt him, for he never offended me. I'm an old soldier, and my wife is in France. I'll pay anything to the man mill he is well. There's my little bit of a house left all to the mercy of the waves—do forgive me, as I hope God will forgive you! Mr. •Hall said there were certain persons in Livervool who were beginning to use the knife on all occasions. He would do hi s best to put a stop to it. Every individual brought before him for this description of offence, he would commit for trial.—Pri soner: I was a long time in the army, and I shall lose my bit of pension as sure as can be. lie was committed for trial JUVENILE TRAVELLERS.-On Tuesday. at the Police office, three lads, each aged above twelve years, were brought before the Magistrates, and it was stated that they had been booked for safety, having been found wanderin g in the streets on the preceding night. They were all dressed nearly alike, in dark fustian jackets of peculiar cut. They gave their names as Sampson Thorpe, George Street, and Win. Royals. Mr. Hall: Where do you come from? Royals took upon himself the office of spokesman. He replied, in a broad Lancashire dialect : We come frae Duckenfield, about seven mile frae Manchesther. Mr. Hall : Why did you come here? Royals: Aw gotten a cousin e Learp'l, au' aw coom to seeck him. Mr. Hall: Have you any parents? Royals: Hey? Mr. Hall: Have you a father and mother? Yoi, aw've getten a feyther an' mother too. Mr. Hall: Did you tell them you were coming? Yoi—aw tou'd 'em aw'd goo an' see cousin, an' they said aw moight ; 'toss yo' see feyther 's eaut o' wark. What is your cousin? He 's a mechanic, an' his ne-am 's Isaac Shakely. Where does he work ? Oh, aw donna know,somewhere Learp'l, aw reckon; he's a wheel-reel. In reply to other questions, Royals said—We started o' Sunday; we hadna no munnevbud we walked aw th' way to Learp'l. Mr. Hall: Well, now you have seen Liverpool. and found it very much like Duckenfield— Royals (interrupting): Na, na, it isn't—not a bit. Mr. Hall: Well, you came through Manchester, and it's very like Manchester—will you go back? because you can't be permitted to wander about the streets here. Royals : Yoi, we'll goo back. The other prisoners, on being asked why they had come to Liverpool, replied: Oh, we just coom we him for company bike. The Bridewell-keeper said, from what Royals had told him on the preceding night, it ap peared, that he told his mother he was going to Liverpool, and she replied, in a casual manner, " Well, away .with you; but you'll turn back before you've gone far." Royals: Cousin ax'd me to coom when he wor at eaur heawse a good long toime agoo. Mr. Hall: Well, I shall send you back to Manchester, and—Royals (interrupting): We thou't o' gooin' vesterneet, but a chap took us eaut u'th' rooad. Mr. Hall ordered an officer to send them by the first train to Manchester, and to give them a shilling each to provide refreshment on their way to Duckenfield. The prisoners promised, on being let down at Manchester, to proceed di rectly home. CASE OF RUNNING FOUL.—MANAGEMENT OF FERRY STEAMERS.—On Tuesday, at the Police-office, the master of one of the Woodside steamers appeared before Mr. Hall, to answer a charge of having, on Friday afternoon last, behaved in an improper manner in running up to the land ing stage, at George's Pierhead, b e t ween the Rock Ferry and Monks' Ferry boats. The information was laid under the 73d section of the local act 6 Geo. IV, which empowers a magistrate to inflict a penalty of 40s. for disorderly conduct on the river, or at the landing-steps, &c. William Earle, jun., Esq., stated, that on Friday last, about four o'clock, he was crossing from the other side of the river in the Monks' Ferry steamer. They ran up to the floating landing-stage, and were about to moor, the vessel. There was another steamer alongside, when they saw the Woodside boat coming up at half speed. They called out to the latter to go to the other side, but, without taking the slightest notice, she (the Woodside boat) was run in smack between the two boats already_ moored, regardless of any conside r ati on what ever. He (Mr. Earle) considered it a most spiteful proceed ing, and 'he was confident it was done on purpoSe. Those on board the two packets already at the station called out loudly, but to no put pose. He (Mr. Earle,) apprehending a serious shock, sat down and took t. firm hold of something. The Woodside btiat ran against the Monks' Ferry boat with such violence that her bulwarks were crushed in. The Wood side boat was decidedly in fault. The master of the Wood side steamer said, his principal witness, Mr. Smithett, who commanded one of her Majesty's packets, and who under stood nautical affairs, was away. The defendant handed a note from Mr. Smithett to Mr. Hall. The magistrate hay ing perused it, said,—Supposing those on board the Monk's Ferry boat had acted improperly, he (the defendant) had no right to risk the safety of the passengers entrusted to his care, by acting improperly also. The captain said, he had given certain orders to his engineer, which were not attended to. So far as we could understand the captain's subsequent state ment, there was a Dublin steamer lying at anchor in the stream. The Woodside and Monk's Ferry boats were coming up nearly together, having rounded the Dublin steamer at different ends. He (the defendant) was about to bring his vessel up to the southward of the floating stage, thinking the other was going to the northward. The Monks' Ferry-boat, however, he said, suddenly took an easterly turn, and cut him out. Mr. Earle said, they (the Monks' Ferry-boat) were at the stage several minutes before, the other. Their engines were stopped, and they had no means of getting out of the way. There were many persons present, and amongst them Mr. Powell, but as he was one of the directors, he might be deemed an interested witness. Mr. Earle called the name of a gentleman who promised to attend and give evidence, but the person did not answer. Mr. Hall thought the captain had almost admitted the charge, when' he said the other " took an easterly turn," for it was evident he was angry at him for doing that. The defendant said, he ordered the engineer to reverse, and he did not-know why he dis obeyed. Mr. Hall: You should have had the engineer here. He would have been the best witness you could have had, much better than M r . S m ith e t t . M r . Powell, a director 'of the Monk's Ferry Company, said this was the second or third time this very person, who steered one of the boats belong ing to the Woodside Company, had done the same . thing. He had himself remonstrated with him and asked him how he dared to risk the lives of his passengers in such a manner. There was a great deal of spite amongst the men conducting the different ferry boats, and they thought they might with perfect impunity run against each other, and do as they liked. They (the Monks' Ferry Company) had given particular orders to their men to give way on all occasions. A witness was called for the defendant. His testimony was principally to the effect, that the boats were advancing to the landing stage both together. Mr. Earle contradicted this, and re peated his assertion that the Monks' Ferry boat was up se veral minutes before the other. The gentleman admitted that the tide was running against the Woodside boat, which would have had a tendency to keep her away; he also said there was considerable rivalry amongst the vatiuus . per , ons connected with different fer r i es . M r . Hall said, he looked at the case merely so far as the passengers were concerned. The proprietors might run font of eachother; and destroy their vessels entirely if they liked: but they' should not en danger the lives of passengers. Let them have their rivalry if they thought proper, but they must confine the danger to themselves. Mr. Powell said, as they approached the stage, the Woodside boat was three lengths behind them hoped the magistrates would proceed in a manner that would put a stop to these dangerous proceedings, whether it were their men or the others: if not, he was certain some melan choly occurrence would be the result. Mr. Hall said, it might be relied upon that every time a captain was brought before him for such offences, he would punish him. If there were feelings of jealousy amongst the captains, the public should not be the sufferers. The captains might throw each other into the river if they thought fit, but he repeated, he would not allow the lives of passengers to be jeopardised. The defendant was fined £2 and costs. A person, who looked like the master of a steamer, said, " There's our damage, sir, if you please," a dd ress i ng t h e mag i strate. We could not hear whether this individual belonged to the Monks' or Rock Ferry steamer. Mr. Hall said, that makes no part of the case under the present information. I care less about that than the safety of the passengers. Their lives and limbs are of more importance than your vessels, if you choose to run such wanton risks. ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—On Tuesday at the police-office, Archibald Kelly, a tide-waiter, appeared, accompanied by Mr. Crewe, solicitor, to answer a charge of assault preferred against hith by Catherine Jordan, a decent-looking young woman, who stated that she made her livelihood, and sup ported her sick husband, by vending fruit about the docks. The complainant stated, that as she sometimes met with good customers amongst the captains of vessels just returned from sea, who were very fo n d o f oranges an d app l es, s h e went, on Friday last, to the King's Dock. She saw the defendant talking to another person; and she asked him civilly it he would purchase some fruit. He replied, " How dare such a low creature as you speak to a gentleman like me ?" She answered, that if he were a gentleman he would speak civilly to her, as the first gentl emen i n Li ver p oo l gave h er at l east a civil answer when she accosted them. He told her if she did not be off, he- would kick her. She made some reply, when he struck her a blow on the breast, and, following her up, he beat her with both his fists till she fell, when, as she was lying on the ground, he kicked her several times, in a manner that had left marks on her body. Mr. Crewe ques tioned the complainant at some length. It appeared, from the tenor of his queries, he had been instructed that she was a bad character. He did not; however, elicit anything that tended to encourage such such a suspicion. Sbe said, she was once on the point of throwing something at the defend. ant after he had beaten her, but she forbore. Joh n Win chester, a porter, stated, th a t he was working at the King's Dock, for Messrs. Ewart, Myers, & Co. on the day in ques tion. He was getting his dinner when the assault was com mitted, and he saw the whole of it. The complainant pre sented her basket civilly. He did not hear the first words that passed, but almost immediately he saw the defendant strike the girl a violent blow with his fist, and afterwards "run in and strike her right and left, hand and foot, till he knocked her prostrate on the ground." This. Witness (net t Irishman) was also questioned at length by Mr..Crewe.. He said that she was about to throw some dirt at the defendant ; but he (Winchester) prevented her, and advised her to take the case before a magistrate. After much cross-gees. tioning, the witness began to show symptoms of impatience, and made several attempts to bolt from the witness-box. Mr. Hall told him to answer thp question to the best of his ability. Mr. Crewe—You say she was knocked down. Witness— Yes. Mr. Crewe--Did she get up again ? Witness—Why if she had not, she would h ave b een dh ere st ill! (L aug h ter.) Mr. Crewe—l want a proper answer to my questions. Mr. Crewe—Did she get up of herself ? Witness—No, I helped her up. Mr. Crewe—Oh, you ran and helped her up. Wit ness—No, I did'nt, I walked. (Laughter.) -Mr. Crewe— Oh, very good, well, when you helped her up, she went away, did she ? Why, it seems you know all about it. Saying this, the witness again left the box amid loud laughter: ' Matthew Kendall, a shipkeeper, was called as witness fortlisrq defendant. He deposed to the complainant having " bothered. three Custom-house officers to buy her apples." He said she . threw dirt at them when thev would not purchase , and just because the defendant pushed h e r away and struck her a bit, she threw dirt at him. And he never knocked her down at all. On hearing this, the former witness (Winchester) groaned out, "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! An' you never was within sight o' dhe motther all dhe time." Kendall said the complainant used a deal o f lang uage. Mr. Hall—What was the language, good or bad ? Witness—lt was very in different. Mr. Hall said, he had not the least doubt but the complainant gave her tongue considerable license after she was attacked, but that the defendant had struck her was clear from his own evidence. He thought that, whatever were her character, no man was justified in striking a ferriale in that manner. The defendant was fined £2. and costs. In default ' of payment he was to be committed for one month to the . House of Correction. WHERE ARE THE WATER CARTS? TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STIND,IRD- SlR,—The above question was general throughout the town yesterday, and no wonder, seeing the clouds bf dust that were whirled about in all directions, and not a drop of water from the carts to put down the evil. What are the officers in this department paid for? There is not only the annoyance to pedestrians, but the serious injury to shop keepers, by having heaps of dust blown in upon their goods, some of which must suffer. Is it not unpardonable, that iu a town like this, such a palpable duty should be so grossly. neglected ?. 'Y'our drawing the attention of the proper authorities to the subject, will oblige yours, &c. Liverpool, Oct. 12. PRO BONO PUBLICO. TO THE RIGHT REV. THE LORD BISHOP OF CHESTER. Waterloo, Crosby, near Liverpool, Oct. 8, 1838. MY LORD,—Permit me to call your attent ion to a prac , tice, which I understand is 'more or less prevalent in Noiti' lordship's diocese, and which if not checked, will tend - not only to injure the usefulness of our church es t a bli s h ment ; but bring contempt on her ministrations. Having had occasion to visit the neighbourhood Of Liver pool with my family for change of air, 1 was delighted to find, on enquiry, that a church and faithful ministry were within a reasonable distance of that part of the shore where I bad pitched my tent. On the Sunday, I took my family to Seaforth church, and arriving before the congregation were assembled, the clerk and beadle, to my great surprise, demanded the sum of five shillings for accommodating my wife, myself, two little girls; (under six years of age,) and their governess with a pew for that service. A written notice was also suspended at each entrance door of the church, exhibiting a scale of charges, to occasional visitors. So far as concerned myself, I might have silently passed the matter over, and not have entered the church again —but I was grieved to notice other gentlemen, after a similar con ference with the clerk and beadle, walk out of the church with apparent astonishment and disgust. I would respectfully submit to the supporters of such regulations, whether, consi dering that there is no other place of worship near at hand, they are not incurring an awful responsibility in the effect produced by this deprivation, and the probable mode in which such persons are thereby compelled to spend the remaining hours of the Sabbath Probably at the hotel, amusing them selves on the sea shore, or at the news-room. I learn it is a common remark in the fainilies of visitors who attend the morning service, that they are obliged to forego the afternoon service, on account of the expellee! Ezek. xxiv. 6. What my Lord ! are the doors and pews of all the various sects who dissent from us, to be thrown wide open to strangers and visitors, and is the Church of England permitted to stand forth and tell her members at the very threshold of her doors, " you cannot worship here, unless you first pay a certain sum of money for the 'Bread and Water of Lif e ' di spensed , here ?" Can * such proceedings at our churches in the present day strengthen her claims to public favor ? _ . 1 am informed that Seaforth church was built by a private individual, but that it has since be n consecrated. Your lord- s therefore, knows test, nether such exactions ate agree able to ecclesiastical law : they appear, however, to many persons, totally at variance with - the idea of a national church, and grossly inconsistent with the spirit of christianity itself. If this church has no endowment, or if the pew-rents be insufficient for the support of its ministers,—if there be no fund for cleaning, repairing or enlarging the edifice,—or if funds be wanting for the support of its Sunday schools, in any, or all of these cases, let the fact be op e nl y an d f airly stated from the desk, and collections made after service for any one of these specific objects; and I feel assured that strangers and visitors would cheerfully and liberally t'espond ' to the call. Subscription books might also be opened at the hotel and lodging houses. I must apologize for thus calling your lordship's attention to a growing evil in our churches, and particularly amongst the evangelical portion of the clergy, (of all others the p ersons i who should most scrupulously avoid it,) and which i s 'a blot upon that church of which your lordship is so eminent and distinguished a prelate. I have the honor to remain, With much veneration and respect, Your Lordship's obedient servant, A CHURCHWARDEN. (From a distant county.) JAMAICA STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. OBSERVATIONS ON THE MANAGEMENT AND EXTRAORDINARY' LOSSES OF THE JAMAICA STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. Mr. Pinckard, a shareholder and auditor of the aboie company, has put forth the statements and expositions con tained in this pamphlet, with the view of explaining to the proprietors, as far as practicable; the causes which have led to the failure of the concern "and to the absolute loss of é' serious portion, if not th e entire amount, of the paid-np capital." The latter isupwards of £40,000. The statements put forth by Mr. Pinckard are curious. To all men of busi-' ness, but especially to the parties who have had money in vested in the concern, they will be deeply interesting. In his introduction, Mr. Pinckard says, " the mania for joint stuck companies, of late years, and the toe frequent mode of conducting them by a reckless expenditure and misappli-' cation of the fonds, have, in many instances, entailed ruin on the parties interested; and directors of such companies,. by adopting a similar course in their private affairs, Would experience a similar result, as well as the loss of character for integrity and veracity : and although they, by the sup pression of their accounts, may keep the proprietors in • ig norance for a time, yet, in the end, such conduct is sureto be detected, and to meet with the punishment it deserves." The whole business of the Jamaica Steam Navigation Com pany seems to have been conducted in the most extraor dinary manner. The blame, according to Mr. Pinckard's statement, falls upon the chairman and the secretary, who must have been guilty of the utmost neg igence, whilst they were practising the most reckless expenditure. Mr. Pinck ard lays the whole correspondence between himself and the two funclioniries before the public. As auditor he presumed he had a right to examine the accounts but this privilege he could not obtain: From the statements contained in the subsequent report, the repeated refusals do not seem wonder ' •. ful, as is pretty clear that no regular accounts were kept. The ruin of a concern, so conducted, was certain. For the details which led to this result we must refer our readers to the pamphlet.
