He is stated to have sustained very great losses, especially in prison ers. We luipe to be enabled to give further particulars in ou r second edition. --- Persons visiting Manchester will do well to resort to the " Manchester Gallery"—the exhibition is well worth seeing. DAM' FEET.—Those who are subject to inconvenience from this cause, which is the precursor of many formidable diseases, will find great benefit from the use of the " Patent Ventilated India Rubber Shoes,'! invented by Mr. Parsons, of Bold-street. —See Adv.

JOHN WRIGHT, Esq.—We understand . that a requisition, numerously and respectably signed by burgesses of various po litical opinions in St. Anne's Ward, has been presented to this gentleman, wishing that be will alloW himself to be put in no mination as a candidate for the office of councillor for that ward at the ensuing election; to which he has, although at some per sonal inconvenience, kindly acceded, at the same time stating that he had declined two similar invitations from other wards. LAUNCH OF A STRAM'VESSEL.---On Monday last, at twelve o'clock, a very splendid steam vessel, of about 250 ton s reg i ster, was launched 'from the Herculaneum 13nildingyard. The fol lowing dimensions : will convey an idea of the magnitude of this vessel. She is 120 feet in length, and 20 feet beam. She will be propelled by two e m iines of 60 horse power each. Th e builder Is s Mr. - James Gordon. - She has been named by the owner, Duncan Gibb, Esq., the Mu Afacarlarn, after a gentle- man who has been a liberal contributor to nearly, all our chari table institutions. Daam Fnais , POISON.—An inquest involving a very serious charge, was held on Wednesday, before P. F. Curry, Esq., touching the death of a male child, five months old, named Thomas who (ruin the surgeon's evidence, it appeared, had died in consequence of having taken poison furnished in mistake for a narcotic draught, by a druggist's apprentice in this town, on Sunday last. The inquest was adjourned till ves ter4y, and further adjourned to this morning at eleven o'cliick, tnafford time for analyzing the remainder of the mixture taken by the child, We refrain from publishing the particulars till the result of the inquiry shall have transpired. REVISION OF THE BURG ESS.Ltsr.—The Mayor on Wednes day posted a notice at the gates of the Towuhall, signifying his intention . , along with the two assessors of his ward, of holding a court on Saturday (to-morrow,) at ten o'clock, for the purpuse of revising the list of burgesseS. The act requires that " three clear days' Mitice of the holding of such court" shall be " fixed up : in some conspicuous situation within the borough," and that this open court for the revision of the burgess list shall he held " between the first day of Okidier• inclusive, and the 15th day of October inclusive." It will be seep that the provisions of the act have been very barely : complied with. We warn the conservative burgesses w hu have claims or objections to make to be on the alert. We yesterday visited the Bongo steam packet, lately pur chased by Capt.' Edwards, for the- Ciwyd cud Liverpool Steam Packet Company, and now plying with goods and passengers between this place and Rh) I. She is without exception the best boat upon any station on the :Welsh coast; her engine, which is of the first class, is 80 horse power. fler extensive cabin is is admirably fitted up. both for the convenience and comfort of Passengers. Since the commencement of her sailing ; she has carried on an average 180 passengers daily. The capital of the Company consists of 1,500 shares of £5 each; and we have no doubt she will realiie an -excellent percentage on the capital invested in her. At the public meeting held at Rhyl for the appointment of directors, wevould not but rem ar k th e feelingof unanimity which nievail . e.d, and the determined spirit of enterprize which characterized their preccedings; • THE LivEnroor. Ex IBITION.—The exhibition of paintings continues to be very well attended ; when the weather is fine it is frequently crowd e d . It forms a most delightful lounge. In the, water-colour room there has been a slight alteration in the position of the paintings, wbich has brought into more prominent view several beautiful little gems. -No. 584; - Viola, enamel, by J. H as t em , is excTisitely finished. Near this is another enamel Portrait of Lord Byrom (No, 5911 by the same artist, the finish of which is exceedingly benutifnl. Underneath these are seve ral portraits, by' W. Barclay, of most W. Hogg, perfect. finish ; especially a portrait of J. Esq., M.P., for Beverley, which is also a striking likeness; a portrait of the Hon. Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P., and a small Portrait of th e same, f or a brace let, which, in finish, is a perfect . gem. A portrait of Koseinsco, ( No. 52.3,) by J. W. Maurat, is one of the most beautifully finished por t ra its we ever saw. The li g h t and shade are so ad- Intrably adapted as to give it the positive appearance of sub stance. The eve can be scarcely , brought to believe that the coat and the neck handkerChief are a-fiat painting, and not what they are represented. We shall recur tG each of the other rooms on a future occasion. ADVANTAGES OF A DOUBLE - BEDDED Ronm • --A few slave .t gentleman of ,this 'town having remained so late at . a S ocial part': that he was locked out of his lodgings, applied to a P al iceinan'to direct him to some inn which was open where he ••t"ld get a bed, and hp was accordingly directed to the Whit e ear in Dale-street. On communicating his wants at the inn t. l l, question, he was told that not a bed in the house was at tL uert y but one, in , a double-bedded. room where another " gen- C r aan" was already wrapt in the arms of Morpheus. H e, ti())wever, accepted the "spare bed,"' thinking it better than take - lisk of worse. - accommodation, and, in due time, having n the precaution to secure his watch, was lost in sweet for rfulness. On awaking in the morning he found his fellow sturnherer flown, and glancing a look at his inexpressibles, - it f„ r r ue k him that they were not as he had left them the night be e, and hastily, rising and examining the pockets he found ilern minus his purse and £4 10s. lawful coin of the realm. He }c„"2mr.eiliately hurried on his clothes and ran down stairs, in thing what had become of his " fellow lodger," and received „ i .the Waiter the cons • oling reply—" Oh, sir, he's paid a Is. / is bed and gone half an hour ago." her pupnlation en masse, she is a full . century behind Britain proper, in her aptitude for similar institu tions. It may suit Lord Fitzwilliam to entertain these abstract views of equalization, and Mr. James Grattan, and more especially Mr. Fitzsimon, to iterate and,reiterate them ; but whilst we agree with. the noble lord, that " the English are a land-loving nation," we trust. have something better than vague theory —sonic . thing like a sterling principle to build upon before we can comprehend the meaning: of the proposed union of the " law of England," and the " justice" demanded fin treland ; for we maintain that they cannot be assimilated by the distinction of that on which the law of England is founded7--namely its protestantism, guaranteed by the oath of the King, as the trustee of church and state; and which even Lord Fitzwilliam, under his oath of fealty, is bound to acknowledge, in principle, however he may now deviate therefrom in practice, amongst his rtotnan.Catholie tenants and- dependants. We know too well the protestant feeling of the King of England to al. low the church in Ireland to be swamped, to gratify the Malice and ambition. of O'Connell,- as far as his Majesty in his own person, can, constitutionally, prevent it. - He will receive the Fitzwilliatnite petition with respect; but William the Fourth is not to be warped from his duty, by jesuitical plausibility and partial representation. RIsITOP RYDFR'S CHURCH AT BIRMINGRAM.—It is with great pleasure we are enabled to inform our protes tant readers that the subscription for the completion of this Christian testimonial in memory of one of the most exemplary prelates of our time, and one especially dear in all the relations of private .life, is proceeding most favourably. To the immediate surviving relatives of Dr. Ryder, this marked tribute of affectionate esteem must be especially gratifying, and to all those who, during a life of unaffected piety and truly charitable bearing, or even the aquctintance of the late Bishop, whether as clerical or lay brethren of our eStablishment, or the conscientious :members of that body, not strictly within her pale, bat towards whom he invariably extend ed the right hand of fellowship, in the bond of brotherly love,such a . minister will be particularly endearing; and, whilst he " rests fiom his labours" the spirit which has left its earthly tabernacle may be said to hover over the spot where he last stood; and a perpetuity of good to thousands yet unborn will arise through the foundation olthat holy edifice which •is designed to record the me mory of the „just and promote the cause of - our God and .Saviour ! We must congratulate our many conserva tive and Christian friends in the opulent town of Bir mingham on its altered condition from that of " Newall hill" denaagogueisrn ; whilSt the cause of our church therein has received a fresh impulse from the rabid as saults of her enemies, and the underworkings of the Socinian and the papist, and the venom of the infidel, _ T THEATRE-ROYAL, List ni7ht we witnessed Shahspeare's splendid tragedy of King Lear," the part of Kiey Leer be Keit], of Edgar by Mr. Stuart, and of Cordeli6 • This tragedy has been under refte , ',,•sal several times daring this week. 'the• arduous part taken by Mr.Rean wis a great effort of talent, and was ably sustained thronghout. He was frequent ly . greeted by loud applause of the audience. The lateness of the hOur and the crowded. state - of our 'Column's - prevent us giving a lengthened, critique; but we shall notice this play at greater length when it is repeated, which we understand it is •to•be shortly. The house was well attended. • THE FESTIVAL. The town begins to present an unusual bustling, and animated appearance; parties of strangets are flocking in, and lounging about the streets, examining the finery with - which the•various shop windows are beginning to be filled. The shops in Bold street, Lord-street, and Castle -street. in which fancy dresses are exhibited, attract crowds of admirers around their windoWs. Already great numbers of tickets have been bought, and the busy note of preparation is every were sounded. The arrange ments making fir the. Fancy Ball, are on an unusually splendid scale. It is intended to connect. the Exchange News-room, and the Underwriters-ream, which • has been ht,erally granted, by galleries, with the entert a i n i ng - rooms, i n t h e T own -h a ll . .There will be two diStinct galleries.extending accross the area Or the Exchange; one or which will connect the Underwriters room, and •the principal halt-room of the Town-hal`, and the other, the back of the Exchange News-room, through the win dows, to the windows of the Town-hall; the whole will then be coanected together ea suite, so that parties first entering the magnificent entrance 'saloon, need not retrace their steps until they have comp:eted the whole circuit of the rooms, a protn,i node of nearly of a quarter of a mile in, length, the whole forming &suite of apartments unequalled by any in the kingdom. The committee have made every exertion to obtain substitutes fur the loss of Madame Malihran and M. de Beriot ; by the late most melancholy death of the former; awl, as will-be• seen by the announcements, have already engaged Madame Caradori Allan, who most handsomely 'placed her services at the disposal of the committee on their first application. The music which wilt be brought Out will, we doubt not, raise our festival much in, the opinion of the musical world,. and will render it inferior to none of the provincial festivals ; but we trust will place us, as we ought to be at the head". '['he new .".Ora toria of S!..•Paul;" by Mendelsshon, will be brought out- here for the firsi time in this country. 'The manner in 'which it iS spoken of in the.musical critiques of the day, give promise of a high treat to those . who intend patronising the festival. :The other musical selections haVe also been made with much jiidg went, and we doubt hot Will amply fulfil the expectations which have been raised. TOXTETII:PARK BAZAAR: Yesterday the bazaar, for which the industrious fingers_ Ofthe ladiei of Toxtetb-pirrk and neighbourhood have for some time past been busily employed, the proceeds of which are to-ba propriated to the benevolent purpos e of erecting a National School to be attached .to St. John the Baptist's Church 'at Toxteth-park, was op ene d a t th e Union News Room, Duke street. The district of Toxteth-park is inhabited by several thousands of poor, who at present are but inadequately proVidecf with mental fool; in ord-r to raise funds for building a school to obviate this mental - dearth, the Rev. J Hassell and se veral of his congregation have been indefatigable in Proniot nig the present bazaar, and we may add, so far as we can now form an opinion, their efforts have. been crowned with splendid success. So far as the' bazaar itself goes-, and the attractions exhibited to.,,lure willing contributions from the puries of the Visitors welt - aye never seen the present surpassed. The innumerable' ornaments which usually ctaistitute 'a bazaar are here many of them of a very superior deseript ion, and reflect the highest credit on the fair artists. We feel almost at a loss which gems 'first to note and describe to our readers. The most piuwinent, and one of the most attractive_tables, bears the' present of her gracious Majesty the Queen, who has conde scended to honour with her patronage this exertion in the good cause. It consists of an exceedingly -handsome embroidered cushion, a pair of embroidered bell-ropes of similar pattern, two richly-embroidered work-bags, aird an urn stand, also of em broidery. The whole are intended to be put up this day, to be raffled for in 300 tickets, at .10s. each. We need not add that the richness of the prize, the remembrance of the Cause for which it is given, and the hope of obtaining some of the work manship of the reigning Queen, draws ready subscribers to the raffle. Nearly the whole of the tickets have already bien dis posed of. Near this splendid present is a very handsome-Otto man, which is also intended to be raffled for to-day, made, by Lady Skelmersdale, and on the smile table are number. of fancy ornainents, the gift and workmanship of Lady Sandon. To the right of the entrance are two exquisite modellings in wax of a Turkish chief and a Circassian ladv in full costume, the work of Mrs. Banner, which is to be raffled for. Passing round; on Mrs. Sheppard's table is a model, in wax, of the champion of England, dressed, as at the Coronation of George IV., in a complete suit of armour, on horseback, and having on each side two equerries similarly habited—the whole very beautifully finished. This is intended to be raffled for to-day, and is va lued at five guineas. A scene from ShaksPeare's " Mid summer Night's Dream," representing several fairies in the wood, and a nursery scene with the figures in wax, both made also by Mrs. Sheppard, are deserving of particular notice. At this table there is atso some very splendid embroidery work intended for a screen, by Miss Hindley, and a very beautiful landscape drawing -by Miss Woodville, also a quantity of very, superiorly finished work by Miss Broughton—all of wnich do - each of these ladies much credit. We should not forget to mention a number of very finely finished flowers by Miss Hindley. Their manufacture evinces perfection in the art. At the next table is a very splendid embroidered cushion on white silk canvas, by Mr s . A ugus t us C amp b e ll . P ass i ng on is a beautifully embroidered ottoman, by Mrs. Hargreaves, in the centre of another table of endless varieties. The tables of Mrs. Trotman, Miss gird, and Mrs. Ortt also exhibit many handsome and costly ornaments of ladies workmanship. A very excellent band of music is stationed behind the building, which enlivenes the scene with many beautiful airs, and in one corner of the room is a very handsome set out of refreshments, confection aries, &c. From *the openilig,, at eleven - o'clock, until five the room continued crowded, especially from twelve o'clock until four. Lord de Tabley and Sir Phillip Egerton and party vi sited the room during the day. The total amouut collected at the doors, yesterday, was about £80; we have not ascertained the proceeds of the day's sale, but believe the sum to be coos' derable. My dear Brethren,—You already know the cause of our de parture this evening from. our usual course of scriptural inter pretation. You are apprised by public notice, that it is my intention to address myself this evening to the members of a society formed amongst us, called. the Church of England Benefit Society. But none of you need on that account eater the slighest apprehension that I shall not address - myself to you. If there were any thing in the constitution of the society in question, in its present position, or the objects which it con templates to,carry into effect, to render an address to the mem bers of it at all incompatible with the preaching of God's word to you all. I would never consent to address them from this place ; but there is - tip such thing, on the contrary, I have good - hope, through grace, that the society in question, will afford a valuable opportunity for addressing to th e mem b ers of it, and to you all, sense of the vital truths of the everlasting gospel of the Grace of God. . The, Church, of England Benefit Society was institut e d i n t h e year 1807, the object that it contemplates, is here stated in its original address : . . ". We the memberS of this, society (considering the many ac cidents men in this transitory life are daily subject to e and as it is corrunendatele to alleviate as much as possible the visitations . 0f Provideisea) do resolVe to adhere t o a ll a n d everyone o f the relies here fellow inge hoping by this . means. we may be, enabled to supjscsrt each other, in relieving,, our sick, , burying ; out deed, and: relieving the widoefaud.

England Benefit Society;' trusting from the purity of our intentions, and by our prudent ruleS and stated meetings, we may promote the advantage and happiness of each member, soften their cares, and render life more pleasing and happy." Persons admissible as. members into the society are thus de, scribed —" Respectable tradesmen, 'Mechanics, clerks, -ace., between theeages of .18 and 35, are admitted into this society, provided they are of "good mot al character, sound health, . : And. members of file established church of Engleted."eT49.;.ulgs.aje too long to he read nosy. , Printed copiesmy4o ~q444,44,(rf 0 r t the secretary of the society by. any persote r ysteciereeteeeeje e teeo u ka. come a member when vacancies occur. esiiir444,PliaMet4.4r, however that in consonance with an '4l a 9i , 1hir944914414i. tituled "n 4 A 419 Consolidate aMI iiin,Ch, til..t i • tvg i c i elAm t ) fle friendly societies,"of the, reh e n the existing• rules 'fillkits 1 land SOciety were, on the tith' day of July, - 1 1, alie.resteaelef 1.41 amended ace erdingeto the previsions of elatae.4, nod the rielcei sr amended were certified by the clerk ot`the peace. ,4 lj Such, in brief terms, is the society which solicits our. motme! this evening, and a considerable portion of the members of which are now sat amongst us.. To them and to you all 1 would now-address with solemnity and affection the language, of our Lord Jesus Ch! ist, as related in our aexte-e". Lay, net, up fir, yourselves treasures on earth, where the rust and moth cloth eor-! rupt, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for, Yourselves treasures in' Heaven, where neither rust nor - moth. loth corrupt, and where thieves- do .not break through and. steal." ' You observe in these words which Jesus ; speaks that there - are two descripti nos or treasures. The, first earthly, awl such as may be corrupted or stolen ; the second Heavenly, which cannot be corrupted or stolen.. But he plainly cerumaitds his disciples not to lay up for themselves the fernier, - and as plainly commands them to lay for themselves the latter, and then he adds a very important reason for both of these com mandments, namely, " That where their treasure is there will their heart be also." Now every man has his trea iiire, in the present or in the anticipated enjoyment of which he takes delight; and whatever this treasure is, or wherever it is laid up., ,it has an attractive power over this man's heart, and draws the, heart towards it. The actions of the heart are in thoughts and feelings; awl, as these. thoughts and feelings get into motion, their tendency is to, go towards the treasury. There is an affinity - ref rwationship between the treasure and the heart, and the heart points out the way of the thoughts and the feelings, .and wherever the treasure-is there will the heart be also. . Now, the state of it man's heart is the main Pointaees the heart is, so is the man in the sight of God. As the heart should be, so. must the man.be throughout eternity, both body and soul. Therefore L is not a light matter, but a matter of eternal consequence to - every one of you, that yoir treasure should be of the right kind, an d that' it should be laid up in the right place; for, wherever it is, your heart is going after it, and • the state of your heart is the main. point. 1 want you just tsi consider that plain truth, first of al. That any object or that any passion should be entitled to a place in a man's affections ass to afford a comfort to his heart and produce such influence s over his life as to occupy his thoughts continually„_it ought to be both suitable and suffieient—it ought to be suitable for the supply of his wants, and it ought to be sufficient. to supply them .all. If you will bear these two cha racteristics of a rel-treamryin your minds, you will see plain ly the kindness as vveil as the reasenableness of our Lord's commandment in the text. It is ; really kind if him to com mand us to have a right treasure; it is like commendine ,us to be happy—commanding us to put our hearts on the right thing which will make us happy at last. • Now that a treasure s h ou ld be suitable and sufficient, must depend upon two things—first, the character of the treasure itself, and then the nature and circumstances of the person to whom it belongs. For example, a very beautiful collection of pictures would be a very unsuit able treasure for a blind man ; and a single morsel of bread would be a very insufficient treasure for an hungry man. Con sider, I say, this contrast, plainer still—consider the beasts.in.the fields; they find there a suitable and sufficient treasure, the hid- den roots of the grasS in compliance with the secret but Almighty rt , zency of the living God, or, as our philosophers say, of nature, imbibe the juices of the surrounding soil, and the mysterious process of vegetation is carried on, the small blades spring forth—the field is covered with verdure—and in that rich sup ply—in the waving grass and in the running stream by its side the cattle find a suitable and sufficient treasure to supply all their wants; they eat and drink, lie down and rest—their whole being is satisfied-their treasure like themselves is of the earth —earthly. But you are not like them. There is a vital' and essential difference. I tell you what you are in order that you. may see plainly what sort of treasure it roust be to be suitable and sufficient for you. First of all you are immortal creatures, although all flesh is grass—although your life in flesh i n t hi s present state is fleeting and shall soon pass away and be no more scut, yet are you immortal : you must live for ever: you have no choice—you cannot help yourselves. I suppose there are few if any of youevho would wish now to give up inunortallity : but we read of some Who desire death and cannot find it, anti it you pass out of your present s'ate of being, any of you, with out being reconciled to God, in his Son, you would give a million of worlds to be able to annihilate yourselves; but it is impossible, you are limn eeel in . spite of yourselves, every soul of you must have elements of sensitiveness. In the next place, you are dependant creatures, absolutely at the sole dis posal of God, at every moment of time to do with you as he leaseS . One single independent movement is an essential impossibility in any creature. There is not .a pulse that vibiates ia the spiritual, or sensitive, or animal world, not o ne heat of it, but is immediately,and from moment to moment sup plied from Hint who is the au'hor, and giver. of life—from the waving of the archangels wing, when he goes forth on the high behests of Jehovah, down to the little fluttering insect retrial is impalpable in the water you drink—all is immediately, from moinent to moment, and to perpetuity God's. You are de. pendant then—dependant creatures. It is a good thing ti know this. Alas! how proud min vaunts his independence, and how he struts and blasphemes against the very hand that is supporting him—against . the hand of ,long-suffer ing- love, which lA' supplying, him with the very breath which he vents in rebellion against God. You are, thm, dependent creatures. 1 pray you, my dear .bi ethren, ende i your to realize the meaning of these words as we go on. You arc next guilty creatures; you have transgressed against God's commandments; you are righteously exposed to his judgments, his indignation, his wrath. This is a very solemn charge. Though it be so common a one, the subject is familiar to youa minds; but you have got into the habit of hearing without to eeiving any deep . impression. It is a terrible thing to be guilty against God; it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. You feel guilt against a fellow-creature more than you do against God; you tear the risk of detection by your friend if you have told what is not true; you tear the risk of de tection by your own children more than you feel your exposure to eternal damnation. IS not this very strange ? I will tell you the reason of it; it. is this :—you are not guilty creatures by mere accidental trausgiession, such as you can avoid .in fu ture, and for which you ern make compensation to God; but you are guilty, in the root as well as the branch, in your na ture.as well as in the deed. You are corrupt creatures, cons ceiVed in sin, born in iniquity—going astray from the womb, habitually, instinctively at enmity against God. It is as much the nature of man's heart to he at enmity against Goo in, his heart as'it is the nature of man's lungs to imbibe the atmospheric air he breathes. "The carnal mind is at enmity against Gred.". Now,•tshall not argue this us if I were addressing unbelievers. 1 am addressing members of the church of England, and though Many of you maybe unconverted—none of yon ate unbelievers. By becoming members of the 'church of England, you avow your belief in this truth; for net hing can be more plainly stated in the formularies of the church of England than this most important paint. Seeing then, this, you.are immortal creatures —guilty and corrupt creatures, where can a suitable and suffici ent treasure be fund for you on which to lay your heart? Evi dently not in the world, in its present state—assuredly not ; for, Make it the very best, suppose you possess the riches of the whole world e when we mike use of this expression it is beyond the reach Of conception, it is beyond idea. Suppose a man to be in posses sion of the rental of England, or, to come more within imagina tion, supposing one of you were in possession of the wealth of this great town—that it was all-your own ; and suppose you had it sn secured that neither moth nor rust could corrupt it. nor thief break in to steal any part of it. This is a great supposition; make this then fully—that you are living in the enjoyment of all this wealth and: find in it every happiness and have in it every enjoyment from week to week, and month after month, awl' year after year, and on will be content to go on living in this way; but still you are going on so, and you must go on and go on. Now let your I thoughts go on, and see where you get t o . G o on, try, and I think, I beseech you try • where , your thoughts will take you. Help me to preach ! You can help me if 'you are in earnest with yourselves. Immortal God! inake the people in earnest make them to know this plain matter of .fact, they must die ! Yon must stand before God. Now then bouud and corrupted creatures—his purity, his holy purity, would be intolerable ; the purity of God would be a nuisance, an intolerable nuisance, to your vile habits, and being a guilty creature, you would: be ex posed to his wrathe e being a dependant creature, you could not escape from his .power—and being an immortal creature, you could never cease to feel his anger and its consequences. Oh ! where shall you find a suitable and sufficient treasure ? Evi dently, my brethren, only in eternity. A treasure that is not eternal can never be sufficient for you.. Immortality and each of you are twin born, you must be t oge th er , an d the t reasure that is not immortal will fail you and lease you a beggar. Be determined then to look towards eternity for this treasure. * 1' * * a a * Hear the apostle of the Gentiles, how sweetly he proclaims this in the synagogue of Antioch—" Be it known unto you, therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached untob e li ev e you the forgiveness of sin s . A n d b y hi m a ll t h at arejustified from all thine's from which he could not be justified by the law of Moses..' By this man Jesus Christ is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins, and by him all that believe are justified.

Hear again how he speaks of this truths—" But now the righteousness of God, Without the law is Manifested, being witnessed by the law and REPrinsErgrArroN OF BATIL—A conservative candidate for this long-neglected city, which has suffered herself to be sunk in the mule of radical liberalism, and its important interests to he compromised by encouraging for so long a period the mists of philosophical whip hypocrisy to reign over her, has been found, we are happy to learn, in the person of Mr. Ludlow Bruges, a gentleman of the English bar, who, from all we h ave been enabled.to collect, poss esses a high reputation for unde viating consistency, as regards his public principles, and emin ently qualified, by his mental acquirements and the integrity of his private life, to sustain the honour and interests of a city which. Was once deemed the seat of polite literature —the seat of the affluent and infirm, and the centre of good breeding and moral deportment in Britain's, classic isle. That Bath should have fallen from her high pedestal into the maze of a false philosophy —she who possessed but a few short years back the genius of a Wilkinson, is somewhat astounding; but it proves the insta bility of all human securities, unsustained by principle ; and the necessity for perpetual conservatism, on the part of those who do not rest satisfied with viewing the surface of things in general, bpt having explored the depths of nature and entered into the temple of truth herself, are resolved that theory shall not usurp the Place of reality in that which relates to human happiness and honour, even in time. Gratifying, then, must it be to the friends of order, that Bath, the repose of that aristo cracy to which she chiefly owes her elevation, her beauty, and her wealth, is about to shake off the trammels which have lat terly spoiled her reputation, and sullied her fame, as the pro vincial queen of our isle, the fair Florence of Britain. REGISTRATION FOR THE CITY OF GLASGOW.—The whole claims lodged with the Tosan Clerk were about 746 given in by th e conservatives, to which may be added one-half of about 112, being parties who lodged their own claims—making in all 802. The " liberal" party lodged about 598, which, with the half of the above 112, makes 65 , 1. Of the whole. there were rejected and withdrawn 187, of which 102 were of the conservative party, and 85 of the liberals. There have thus been sustained for ttAt first party 641, and for the secondsl3. Of about 15(K) objections take►i by the constitotionil party against voters on the roll who had*ectune 1147 were sustained. The other party had not lodged any objections'against persons enrolled. Seve ral impOrtant points were ably discussed in th e App ea l Court. Among others, it was.fixed by - tt majority that an alien claiming as tenant bad un claiM; also, that a party was not entitled to be enrolled in two different districts, in either of which he might vote • and by chiming of new in a separate district from that in which he ste,,d on the roll, he was held as departing from his first enrolment : thi s la st 'd ec i s i on partly accounts f or t h e with draWal or rejecti o n o f t h e conservat i ve claims.— Gl asgow Cott rier. A horiible crime has just been perpetrated at Orleans. An Englishman .and his Wife resided at a country house in the neighbourhood of that town. A young man, named Demartel, who was brought up at the military college of St. Cyr, but ad dicted to debauchery in such a manner that he had become the pest of the 'le ighbourhoed, became enamoured of the handsome EnglishwoMan, but could not succeed in his advances. On the 21st instant he repaired to the country house, and, after some conversation With the lady, stabbed her twice. The husband, who - was in an adjoiningmartment, rushed to he r ass i stance, but lie : was also stabbed, and dropped doWn de a d b y h er side. Demartel then drew a pistol from his pocket and blew his brains out.—Journal du Commeree.—Another account of this affair says that Scottowe is the name of the above-mentioned unfortunate Couple, and that the husband has not been murdered, having re turned froth Paris taut the .day after the assassination of his-wife. SPECIAL VESTRY MEETING. Yesterday. at one o'clock, a special vestry meeting was held at St. Nicholas' Church, convened by public announcement, for the purpose " oflaying a rate of one penny in the pound for the service of the preent year." At one o'clock the Rev. Rector Brooks took the- chair. About 100 persons were then assembled: Mr. Lowndes, the Vestry-clerk, having read the notice convening the meeting— Mr. Churchwatden SHAND rose and said, before proceeding, he would request the minutes of the last vestry meeting, held at Easter, to be read. A motion by Mr. Finney, from the minutes, "That a church rate of one penny in the pound be laid," and an amendment, moved by Mr. Janes J3rancker, " That the laving of the rate be postponed till after the present session of. Parliament, and that after then no -further opposition be made to it," and the minute, that " the motion was withdrawn on this understand ing," were then read. Mr. SHAND then said, the meeting had heard the minutes of the proceedings which occurred at the Easter meeting read, which imposed the duty on him of moving for a rate of one penny in the pound. This rate the meeting of last Easter had aOceeded to, provided Parliament did not legislate to provide some fund to obviate the necessity of imposing the rate. Par- Lament not having done so, he should move, "That a church rate of one penny in the pound'be laid for the service of the present year." Ile hoped this rate would be laid by that vestry as the question had been discussed so amicably befOre. At the' same time it was . perfectly competent for an y g entleman to move any'amendriteht they mi g ht thi n k proper; but he hoped the motion would pass withortt any opposition. Perhaps, on another occasion, ,there would b e no necess i ty f or b r i ng i ng for ward any such measure. He hoped the vestry, on this occasion, would redeem what he considered as a - pledge, without any further comment. • Mr. Wri.xrNsoN seconded the motion, The CHAIRMAN having put the motion to the meeting, and having en qu i re d if th ere was any o b jection to it, to which there was no reply, declared the resolution unanimously carried. The CHAIRMAN then said he believed that that was the only question to come before the Vestry, and, therefore, it was now dissolved. Mr; SHAND then moved a vote of thanks to the chair, and :he meeting separated. , TO 7'LIE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STrIND.4RD.

INQUEST.—CHILDFOUND.—As two policemen were passing up an entry in Granville -street, they found a bundle lying on the ground, which on examining they found to contain a new born male child. On Wednesday an inquest was held on the body, when the medical gentleme❑ who had examined it, gave it as their opinion that the child had been born alive, and had died from exposure to the cold. They found a verdict of wilf:11 'qturder against some person or persons unknown.

" Five pair a-day !—how can you possibly require such a' quantity ?" "Why, thus: I walk out, and my gloves are.dirty ; I ride, and my gloves are ruined; I go out to dinner, and I must have a fresh pair; and at balls I cannot do with less than two pair."

M'NETLE'S SERMON. TO THE cuuntH OF ENGLAND BENEFIT SOCIETY. We are enabled, by a little exertion, to lay before our roaders ► report (as ample as time wouldpermit) of the sermon preaChed last (qpning to the members of the Church of Englanl,43enefit Society, by the. Rev. Hugh M'Neile, at St. Jude's Mauch. We belieye that the Rev. Gentleman was applied to•and readily gave his assent to address the"members of the society on its anniversary, on the moral effects which such an institution was calcutatO to produte on its members. We earnestly recom mend the pea-usal of the following outline of the 'nest excellent Qermon deliVeriA, and trust that it will be read not only with attention, but with pr o fit, by num b ers o f t h e middle classes, for whose. especial guidance it was delivered. The Rev. Gentleman took his text from the 6th chapter of St. Matthew, at the 19th and two following verses, " Lay not up for ourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not break through nor steal ; for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." TITE , . the prophets. Evert the righteousnes of God, sidtich is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all, and upon all, th e m th a t believe, for there is no difference." In - this respect !there is no'difference: in' many other respett4 there are, but in this respect there is no difference between the felons in our gaol and the merchant in our counting-houses—between the most moral man and the most profligate. In'this respect there is no difference between the harlots in our streets and the ladie,i in our drawing-rooms—not a particle, for all have sinned and came short of the glary of God. The question is not how far short ? it is have they come short at all? All have sinned, and have come short of um glory of God, and are justified freely by his works through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Here is the treasure Here is the Eternal treasure of free forgiveness of sin by the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. • • - - Holiness is communicated by degrees; it is communicated by the use of means; the means are placad within our reach ; by God's-grace we are made willing to use the means, and by his grace the use of means is made effectual, and its tendency is to Make us devOted to his service. It goes to make us groW in the knowledge and in the fulfilling of the law; but, observe now, the use- of these-means is thrown within our own reach by the preaching of his word, and here is one of these means in our text—" Lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven"—be inure and - more holy—read, pray,' strive—be diligent in • complying with the directions •and precepts which you find in his word to increase your holy treasure; for there is not, a cup of cold water yOU give in his name but it shall have its appropriate and pro mised reward. - * ' * * * The members of this society feel a certain degree of value at tached to the fond that is laid up—they feel a certain advantage in it, in reference to a time of sickness. Why so? Because they know something of what need is, and they see the advan tage of a Wad hid by - from theis monthly contributions to meet a contingency and supply aman in his extremity, and when sick ness comes upon him. But they would set no valueupon it at all if they had no fear of sickness, or want, or trouble, or accident, which they could not foresee, and a sinner amongst you, who has no feeling of his guilt before God, would set no value on Jesus Christ ; and, therefore, there may be here present amongst you this night some man or woman who has never been touched with a genuine feeling of guilt, or the sinfulness of, sin, though it appears strange to angels, as th e y st an d amazed at the hardn ess o f men's hearts, ready to rejoice when a sinner repents., You may speak to them, you may alarm theist, you may show them the law of God, and tell them of the love or Jeeut Christ, as I have been endavouting to do now, still there is; not, the.slightest• impression made; the heart seems made of tripie steel; it i s - not i n ' m an ' s power'to reach the heart (11 his fellow-man—and if any of you have beard the gospel often, and are confident that you feel now for the first time=that you have never felt your guilt as it ought to be felt—hail the rising ten dency as iteppears—hail the first touch of penitence for your sins; it is just the rising beam of God's love in your soul—cherish it —follow it-s-look after tt—aod hark unto " the still small voice" iwithin you. s• I charge you before You lay on your bed to night, that y u. will kneel down on your knees and pray that this feel bite - male evert Yhtlofsieviard;' Let it not go bye. .

If I Cie- - labs:sly this, as I' hope , 6 do in a few words, that the legitimate. stetudency Of the prOVident fend is this, to relieve the mind of aueraties aboutthevierld, end to the contemplation of the gospel treasure, I shall then have placed such •societies uptin *bat. I conceive the' highest' possible ground of acceptance amongst men. - Now recollect such societies are commonly formed aMOngst'poor men—labOuring men of different degrees and of a variety of grades in society, receiving various amounts of weges, but all men who are living by their labour in one way or another. The provident fund of such a Societe - has this im mediate-tendency, that it relieves the mind of such a man from that degree of anxiety which would be natural to him lest sick ness should seize him, or lest some accident should befall him, which should hinder him from coutieeing to provide for his family. I would here now illustraie this feeling by making it - applicable to those who are in a higher class of life, and I would, ask what' is the tendency of you an affectivate father, seeing the Uncertainty of your omen life, about the condition of your children and the anxiety nateral to your soul to leave something to leave those children to keep them from being cast -on the charity of an unfeeling world. Look what is the effect of an insurance on your life ? , Let him think of the comparative repose which he feels lespect ing hie family when there is a proper insurance effected on his life, and:The premium properly paid up. He is relieved fent, many cares and anxieties which would materially assail his affectionate heart on behatfof his family. Now, what the life as surance does to you the provident fund of this society in the same manner does "for the , artisan who is labouring and living on his wages; there is a certain degree of gii arding against contingencies, there is no treasure laid up to excite avarice, but there is a fund laid up to meet contingencies, and ,to relieve . a nvm..from gnawing anxieties, and fears ; every day some accident .maY oeprive him of the capability of getting his daily bread.— When looked on in the proper point of view, ( I don't mean that every member so looks on it, but I am pointing oat .its christian use,) a Christien becoming a member of this society, and becoming relieved of these auxieties thereby, can go forth to his labour with greater alacrity from having this provisien, and he can have snore leisure for meditating on the treasure that is above. Se much fur this benefit society generally. Now, the one i before ni is a Church of England Benefit Society, that is, the mein 'hers composing, it must be all members of the Church of En gland. ' 't hey do net intend any disrespect to christian men wh o are not of thTs church—no such thing enters their minds—if I understand right the very revel se of this has fallen from their 'lips, in my hearing. _They intend nu disrespect whatever to dis senters, but this is what they mean, for by the Lutes of the 'society, they must know the fundamental principles of the mem 'here. and they take the Church of England as the best criterion. 1 want to show the advantage of this, and this one advantage is that you have in the Church o f E ug l an d w h at tends to guard you against being withdrawn from this profession, at least of this Heavenly treasure--the trea sure of the Lord Jesus Christ. The treasure that he desires • you to your hearts upon is expl a i ne d i n t h e Church ofEng land worship. Your condition rendering such a treasure ne cessasyis ex,sained, and,the sentiments of ,the Church of Eng land'especially tend to guard you against being led astray by phi losophy, falsely s o ca ll e d, or any ot h er thing. - So loug aey ou are true to your professions as members of the church of England, so long will you -see your immortal dependence. A consistent member of the church of En g l an d must see these truths, and these are the landmarks of salvation. You know the necessity of marks where there are complicated channels to navigation. You know the necessity of buoys and lighthouses to show the pilot where to steer, and you know the danger there is in the wide open sea, without any of these marks, for there may lie-sunken rocks. If you give up the recognised channel of faith, and throw yourselves on the wide sea of interpretation, there is dan ger, and you may steer wrong. On one side we see men ex claiming that man is not immortal —that Adam was not made an immortal creature—that doctrine is talked by men who are called philosophers, and is printed in books as pre-emi nent. Mau is not immortal ! Here is a plunge into a quicksand. We want a buoy—do not forsake your chan nel—hold fast to your chart. And what see we amongst others who have- forsaken this channel ? They have got into narrow seas; they deny altogether that Jeslis Christ is G id, and appeal to human reason, and ,ay that it is unreason able, and, inerefore, they find out interpretations in scripture to suit their views, or they try to alt er t rans l at i ons. * * * * • Hold to this, my brethren. For this Was the Church of England sent. 1D11.! that her pulpits were - faithful to her reading desk, and that her preachers taught as her prayers ! bu', alas ! her enemies are within - her pale, and we know that nee traitor within can do more to ruin a garrison than a whole host of enemies without. But thanks be to God her prospects are better in this respect than they were, Now is the time for members oldie Church of England to enrol them selves in, societies to proclaim their attachment to the church. Combine you then: your enemies are combined in league against the church,, bind yourselves in league for her defence. It is well that the members 'Should meet together, that they should mulerstand the position in which they are placed. I speak now of the members of this society in particular —men that are called"the poorer classes of society—usefulmen—lt It •r -able men in their station. Avail yourselves of the growing education of the country—avail yourselves of the encreased intelligence of your children to be put. in possession of the history of the church,—read the History of the Ref rmation,— read Pex:s " Book of Martyrs—let your children read it—become Vntiliar with • that bree c h of Ms torv-4ee what your forefathers did in this country, and see what we must do again, if we do not mean to be overwhelmed by the extending - efforts of Popery.

POO T, POLICE. • !.Tyr Ftnstit.T oP Istritun.F.NcE.—EiioStvE nonnErty— On Monday, at the Police Office, another of those cases which are cossVantly (trotting, as a beacon, as it were, to warn others free, shilitar acts of folly and imprudence, (to use the mildest terms) was brought forward at the Police -office: Two young girls of light character, neither of .whom appeared to be 20 years of ageewere placed before the. magist rates, charged with having, on Friday evening last, robbed an elderly man of a considerable sum of money. The complainant, a respectable looking trades man, apparently abodt 60 years of age, and whose gray h a i rs it apeeered had not brought with them the prtidence of age and the absence of what are termed "the follies of youth," which their appearance betokened, then stated that his name was Richard Wilcock, and that he resided in Manchester, and had come over to tiverpeol on business, and was staying at the York Hotel, in Williamson-square. On Friday evening he was passing along Basnett-street, and was not quite sober, when he was stopped by the two prisoners at the bar, and stood talking to them for about 10 minutes, when one of the g irls ran t owar d s t h e square and the other immedi a t e ly followed her. Inc. immediately s•is pected that he had been robbed, and on searching, f o u n d hi s pocket-book gone f rom hi s inside coat pocket, containing two £5O notes, and four £lO notes, and from his trousers pocket be had had taken his purse containing. 4 soy., and 19 s . i n s il ver. He was quite positive that h e had had his money safe a .few minutes before at the York Hotel, where he had been taking some whiskey and water, and he had not exhibited the money to any person. On missing his money he . immediately gave information to Mr. Whitty. Willi4tin Over, Shopman to Messrs. - Maddocks and :lamest, drapers, of Whitechapel, deposed that both girls came on Saturday to his mas ter's shop and -bought some goods, to the amount of £2 10s., and paid for them e and also for some things they had got a fort night before, tendering in payment a £lO note, to which he gave them change, having procured it from Mr. James. About half an hour afterwards they both came again, and one of them (Forrester) bought goods to the amount of £9 185.8 d., for which she tendered a £5O Bank of England note, and the other girl bought to the amount of £1 17s. Bd., and offered a £lO note as payment. He had some difficulty in getting change, and had to go to,the bank, as his Master could not give him change. The two girls appeared to be greatly agitated on his return. He afterwards saw the two prisoners dividing the money. lie . accompanied them with the goods to a cellar in Addison-street, where he left them.—Mr. Lewis, from the Branch Bank of England, produced the notes which he had receiver! front the last, witness, the id ent it y o f w hi ch he could swear to. the last witness having signed his name on them. He had given.£7o in gold in. exchange.—Richard Butt, a bootmakew in Church street, deposed that the prisoners bad come to his shop to buy a pair of boots, when one of them tendered a £lO note in payment, and asked if he cmdd give change for a £5 note; he suspected there was something wrong from this circumstance, and gave her into custodY.—Elizabeth Frances deposed to searching th e prisoners in Bridewell, and finding upon them 13 sovereigns. The depositions were ordered to be taken.—Mr. Hall remarked to Mr. James, Who was in attendance, that it was a very large eurn of money to take from the girls.—Mr. James replied, that when he heard what kind of a place the girls lived in, he sent to give information to the police. Roe fter the above case had concluded, a case nearly similar was brought forward. A female named Frances Mit chell was. placed before the magistrates charged . -with having robbed a resp e ct a bly-d r e s s e d young man ( who gave his name as. 'Photnas Jackson, a clerk, lodging in Hunter -street, of two LIO notes, several sovereigns, and some silver. The complainant stated that on Friday night he was passing down Ilanover-street he met the prisoner, who accosted him, and-would go with him. He told her he was a married man, and could not accompany her. She persisted in following him, and he could not get rid of her. On art icing at Shaw's-brow he told'her he was near home, and she must nut follow him any further, when she g a ve him a twi s t rotted and then ran away. It struck him at the mo ment that he had been robbed, and on looking for his purse he found it gone. It contained two £lO notes, two or three sove reigns, and some silver. He then met Mr. Whitty, and told him the circumstances, and, with one or two policemen, he went to search for the prisoner, and took her into custody on ts;atur day morning.—ln answer to questions from Mr. flail, he said lie could not possibly get rid of her; she stuck to him, and lie did net wish to be rough. It was about ten o'clock when he met the woman. He was certain the prisoner was the woman. Flockhart, the constable, deposed to accompanying the com plainant to several houses, and at last finding the prisoner at a house in Albion -street. He found nothing on her hut two pawn tickets. She denied the robbery, and said she was in bed at the time. As soon as ever the complainant saw the prisoner he said that was the woman.—Mr. Wild, solicitor, who appeared for the prisoner, called a Mrs. Elizabeth Carr, who keeps a beer house in Albion-street, and who swore that at half-past nine o'clock the prisoner came into her house along with her hus band, and had some ginger-beer, that they sat there till ten o'clock, when she closed the honse. Half an hour afterwards, when half undressed, the prisoner came to her house for a bottle of ginger -beer for her husband. She lived opposite to her back door.—Mr. Hall said he should commit the Wuni , Hl for trial, the question of identity was one to be decided by a jury. ROBBEI:YEWING THE JEWS.—On Monday, at the Police office, a notorious thief named Arthur Gore, was placed before the magistrates, charged with having outwitted several watch makers and pawnbrokers in the town, and decamping with various articles. Mr. Win. John Burgess, a pawnbroker in Atherton -street, deposed that the prisoner came into his shop and asked if the price ticketed on a watch in the window, £2 Bs. was the lowest that he could take. He gave him bold of the watch to look at, retaining hold of the outer case. He then asked in what condition the case was in, and he gave him hold of the case also, putting the watch in it. He then asked " what is the price of that small watch in the window?" "I turned round," said Mr. Burgess, " to look at it but did not reach it, when he said, 'Oh never mind, this will do very well.' and then bolted out of the box with my . watch in his pocket." (Laugh ter.) On being cross-examined by Mr. Crewe, who appeared for the prisoner, he said this had occurred on Tuesday the 13th. He would swear the prisoner was th e man whojetved him. Mr. Lesser Dutch having been sworn on the five books of Moses, deposed to being a watchmaker in Whitechapel; the prisoner came into his shop and inquired the price of a watch in the same manner, and played him precisely the Caine trick. When the man had been taken into custody, he recognized him im mediately. He .could swear to him amongst a hundred men . This was last Mond a y. Cross-examined by Mr. Crewe: - He would swear to the man as he would swear to Mr. Crewe if ever he saw him again. (A laugh.) Mr. Crewe " Did you not endeavour to pursue him ?—Complainant : " Yesh I did endev to puishoo him, but ven I came out I did not know vich vac he run." Lewis Wolf Levine, deposed—" I sin a vatchmaker, sand live in Paradishe-street; on de rust of September he come into my shop vich I had den in Great Charlotte -street; shays he to me about 11 o'clock on a Monday, 'let tue leek at dat vetch Yid de vite dial?'

In de mean time dat feller put my vetch in hish pocket and run out, and run down de shtreet, and, de damn fellow I vas alear to leave my shop for cos ov de vice's, lesht he should take some more vetches." ( Loud laughter.) Mr. Crewe: " When did you see him before just now?" " l seen him vonce before in my shop. lam poihitive he ish de man dat stole my vetch." Mr. Crewe " Had the watch any wheels ?" " I never saw a vetch vidout; it went, fasht enough, however, fashter den I like, yid him." (Laugh ter.) Ainsworth the police officer, deposed that he had received information of these various robberies, and from the descrip tion he received of the prisoner, he took him into custody. None of the watches had been found. The prisoner said it was of no use saying anything, but he was innocent whatever they might say against him. The depositions for his commitment were ordered to be taken. THE Porecs.—On Tuesday, at the Police-office, a female was placed at the bar before the magistrates charged by one of the police with being disorderly the night before in Scotland road. The officer stated that a gentleman had had hi s coa t torn by a mob of persons, and the female was concerned in the riot, and had behaved very disorderly, and in consequence he gave her into custody. The female, on being asked what she had to say in defence, said that she was going. on the streets be twixt one and two o'clock the night before to endeavour to get a pint of ale for her mother, who was ill, when she met two gen tlemen, one of whom had his coat torn, and who spoke to her, showing her the coat.

THE POKICE I AND THEIR STICKS AGAIN.—On Wednesday, at the Police-office, a man named John Phillips was plaCed be fore the magistrates under a charge of stealing a hat. The prisoner appeared with his head wrapped round with' alarge R;' linen i:antlke i,hicii; WaSConifietely s soaked itt Officer 175 said, that the night before the prisoner wa::: pointed out to him as having stolen a hat from a public-house in Shaw's Brow; on doing up to the prisoner, he said he would take him (the officer) to a house where he had pawned it. He, (witness) then, along with another officer, went with the Piisimer to Byrom-street, and the prisoner having pointed out the house where he had puttied the hat, the other officer went in, leaving him with the prisoner. The prisoner then struck hitti several times and attenipted to escape, and he was obliged to itse big stick in self-defence. Mr. Hall enquired if he hail ititlictedah4 injuries on the prisoner's head; to which the officer replied that be had done it in self-defence; Parkinson said, that when the Man was, brought to Bridewell he w a s in a very ex- hafisted stat e from the loss cif blood, and on his head there were two dreadful wounds inflicted with a.blowlrom a stick. The man was so exhausted that he had fainted. Mr. Halt addressing, the policeman, severely reprimanded him for hi s b ruta l con d uc t. He had us e d th e v i o l ence o n an unarmed Irian, and when, by. his own account, another officer was close :at hand; he had ; shamefully abused the power which was vested in him. was not to suppose that, because he was armed with a littKatithoritr he was to abuse it. . He might have struck the man oh his arms or,any other part hf his body, rather . than brutally, laying on his head. His story was a very ladle one, for the man was cut at the back of his bead and he could not hayeitruck him merely in self-defence. Officer i " I can bring eVidence to prove that he insulted me in a very gross manner." .Mr. Hall: "That is no justification why you should strike the Man to the ground —it is no reason why you should strike the Man with your. stick; the law does not allow IL You now change your ground; one minute you say you struck him because, you were obliged' to do it in self-defence, and the next, because he uses insulting language to you, and yet, according to your. own,statement, there was no necessity for such violence because therewas a police officer within call. The prisoner said, that the . of,cer had abused him in the public-house, before he was struck, Until the. people cried shame. Mr. Hall iaid; if he hail atiy witnesses hi tiring forward to prove this violence he was at liberty to bring them. witness then deposed, that the prisoner had run out of a public-house in Shaves-brow, with a hat which :did not belong to him, and, in consequence, he was pointed out to the policeman.

Tne stranger in this case had represented that t here were some. charges to pay for the gnoq,, and wanted a deposit of £24 en the' goods to meet them. On his producing the invoice of their value, and bringing •the Roods, they advanced the £2l. The goods were forwarded, according to the ditectien, to Manches ter, but no such person as they were directed to could be found. The goods were then opened and re-examined and found to be worth nothing at all. The man who had obtained th e m one y had that day been met in Liverpool, and he wished a warraet for his appreheesion. The clerks were present to depose to the ram. A clerk of the company, named Dale, then state]] that a man named D av id Julien carne On the `2'ith of August last to their warehouse and represented that he had twenty tons of white paint which he wanted forwarding to Manchester, and which he represented as worth £137, and produced the invoice.- On seeing the invoice on his bringing the ,goods to the yard time money was advanced him.

Mr. Hall said he ought to have some legal evidence. ie ought to ha ve th e ev id ence of the party who had examined the goods. Mr. Yates said they wound produce the a itness when time man was brought up. Mr. Halt —" That is to say, seize the man first . then produce the proper, evidence..
