SANDBACH. H - - AVING been appointed to take the Manageme n t o f various Societies connected with the Town of Liverpool, I feel it my duty to lay their several claims plainly and clearly . before you - . The very little support which even the most favoured of them have received, considering the wealth and importance of the Town, must be accounted for, I imagine, from their objects and views not having been prominently brought be fore all classes of the Inhabitants. I may just state, in corroboration of this, that there is not one person, out of every hundred in Liverpool, who subscribes to any of the charities of the town, and not one in ten (whose names appear in the Directory) who subscribes to any of these charities, and of these it may fairly be presumed that scarcely the name of one appears who might not subscribe something,. I will now give a brief summary of the objects of the va rious Societies, and shall be in attendance at my Office every day, from Ten to Four o'clock, where I shall be most happy , to receive Donations or Subscriptions, large or small, to any or all of the following Associations. Your obedient Servant, JOSEPH CRISP, 38, Church-street. Liverpool Protestant Association. The object of this Association is,—First, to combine in one Christian brotherhood of self-defence all who truly love true re ligion and genuine liberty ; all who sincerely advocate the free circulation of the unmitilated and unadulterated Word of God ; all who assert and defend the right of private judgment ; all who venerate the inviolable sanctity of an oath; all real loyalists who maintain the unrivalled and universal supremacy of the King or Queen of England within these realms, and renounce, abjure, and detest any allegiance whatever to any foreign power or potentate, ecclesiastical or civil. This is the direct object of our Protestant Association, considered in its Scriptural foundation, and its national exercise. Our second object is, to address ourselves with earnest affection to those of our fellow -countrymen who have the misfortune still to labour under anti-scriptural and anti-national pre judices ; who are denied the free circulation of the pure word of God, and the right of private judgment ; who are taught that oaths, under certain circumstances, may and ought to be violated ; and who are commanded to yield their first and highest allegiance to a foreign ecclesiastical authority. The alarming spread of Popery, and the apathy of British Protestants, render the exertions of this Society of the most vital importance to the well-being of the: country, and the continuance of the invaluable blessings of civil and religious liberty. The mode of working is, by Petition, Public Meetings, and the circulation of Tracts, &c. containing useful and important information. The Association bein,g now in active opera tion, stands much in need of increased funds. The rule of the Society constituting membership, is'as follows :—" That all persons professing faith in the Holy Trinity, and being members of, or friendly to, the Established Church of Eng land and Scotland, who shall subscribe five shillings annually, or give a donation of one guinea at an y one ti me , s h a ll h e Members of this Association." Church Missionary Society. The objects of this Society are so well known that it is needless now to recapitulate them. I would, therefore, merely add, that the deficiency in the Society's funds of nearly £ll.OOO, and the strong and urgent calls from India for more Missionaries, render the claims of the Society more than ever pressing. Hibernian Society. The following facts are sufficient to show the importance of this Society in promoting the spiritual welfare of the Irish people : I.—There are in Ireland between two and three millions of Irish-speaking population, of whom two millions speak English as well ; and between five and six millions who speak English exclusively. 2.—Among the English-speaking population, who area large majority of the Irish nation, the London Hibernian So ciety is principally employed ; while, at the same time, for those who speak Irish only, it appoints Irish-speaking Scripture-readers, and forms, where it is required, Irish classes in its schools. , . • • 3.—lt is the principal Society to which the Irish Clergy, and Protestants in general, look for aid in establishing • and maintaining their Scriptural Schools,_ and a far greater number of applications are received from them, than, in the present state of the funds, can be complied with. 4.—The number of Day-shools is 1157, containing 91,066 Scholars, of whom 34,067 are Children of Roman Ca tholic Parents. Will you not help Ireland by supporting such a So ciety as this ? Every security is given that your money will be prudently expended. No aid is afforded except where the Rules of the Society are abided by ; the prin cipal of which are, that the whole Scripture shall be read in the Schools, and portions committed to memory ; and that every School shall submit to a quarterly examination by a competent Inspector, whom the Society appoints. . Its plan is so econimical that a child is educated for a year for little more than half-a-crown. Have you thus educated a child— or, if not, will you not do it ? Lancashire Lord's Day Society. The sanctities of the Divine appointment of the Lord's Day are continually invaded from new quarters, and among increasing multitudes, by the spirit of commerce, or of worldly pleasure ; while the bulwarks of law, raised to defend them, ate no more efficient for that object than the fortresses of antiquity to resist, the alterations and improvements of modern warfare. On these. accounts, there seemed an abso lute neeesSity that the-friends of religion—whofeel the favour Of God to be the only safety and piosperity of a people— should combine in some effort (more powerful than could proceed from individual exertions, however zealously made,) to stand in the breach against the wide and wasting flood of Sabbath violations, by the formation of a Society which should have for its object the amendment of public feeling and principle on this momentous subject—the diffusion of spiritual light upon the common mind—the assistance of those who might wish for help in the high duty of keeping holy the Lord's Day—and especially of such legislators as might have Christian courage to lift up their voices in the deliberate assemblies of the nation against this great trans gression of the country. The Society's operations are carried on by the instrumen tality of placards, addresses, memorials, tracts, and petitions to Parliament. Church Pastoral Aid Society. . This Society has especial claims upon the town of Liver pool, as it is the means of providing many additional curates and scripture readers, at an annual expense of £590, while the returns from the town for the past year were but ~- £ ll7. Surely Liverpool should, as an auxiliary, return more than she receives. The three following societies are especially devoted to the benefit of the seamen, and of those engaged in navigation on the canals, and therefore deserve the cordial support of all who are connected with the shipping and commerce of this port.. _ .

Burnley Blackburn Bradford Clitheroe Halifax Leeds Manchester Preston Wakefield AHIGHLY respectable and influential Deputation of the FREEHOLDERS of the Northern Division of the County of Chester waited upon GEORGE CORNWALL UGH, Esq. at High Legh Hall, on Thursday, the 23d instant, and presented to him the following Requisition, most numerously and respectably signed : To GEORGE CORNWALL LEGH, Esq. We, the undersigned, deeply impressed with the present aspect of public affairs, and viewing with apprehension the evils to which the country is exposed by the pernicious po licy of the present Government, feel ourselves called upon,to resist to the utmost of our power the further progress of in novation and mis-government ; and to that end we consider it to be our bounden duty as Freeholders and Electors of the Northern Division of Cheshire, to send to Parliament such men only as are ready and willing to support and sustain in its fu'lest integrity our PROTESTANT CONSTITUTION IN CHURCH AND STATE, and to whom we can safely confide the real interests of the Country. We have the most ample assurance that you participate in these sentiments, that you would resist any and eves y assault upon the ESTABLISHED CHURCH, that you are opposed to any scheme of NATIONAL EDUCATION not based on Our NATIONAL RELIGION; that you would afford just protection to our AGRICULTURAL in connexion with our COMMERCIAL INTERESTS, and that you would give your cordial support to any Administration that would govern the Country upon these sound principles. We therefore request yoirtó come forward as a candidate at the next Election for this Division of the County, and we pledge ourselves to use our most strenuous endeavours 'to se cure your return. RICHARD BROOKE, Chairman. To which Mr. Cornwall Legh returned the following re ply _ _ a GENTLEMEN,—I should do great injustice to my own feel ings, did 1 not attempt to express to you the high sense I entertain of the distinguished honour you have now confer red upon me, in thus requesting me to become a Candidate for the Representation ofthe Northern Division of this County at the next Election, an honour the more valuable to me from the consideration that it was totally unsought on my part : and however little intention I had myself of soliciting that honour, however unwilling I might under other circumstan ces have been to come forward, I should think myself utterly wanting in that respect which I feel towards the Electors of my native County, I should show but little of the spirit of an independent Country Gentleman, if I could for one moment allow my own private feelings to operate against a wish so flatteringly expressed, or hesitate to place at your disposal whatever services You may think I can render you. I willingly, therefore, accept the Requisition you offer me, and shall be ready under your support to stand forward as a Candidate upon the first opportunity which presents itself. TO THE GENTRY, CLERGY, FREEHOLDERS, AM) OTHER ELECTORS, OF THE NORTHERN DIVISTOPV OF THE COUNTY OF CHESTER. GENTLtmtN, HOST numerous and influential .body of the Elec tors of the Northern Division of this County, having done me the honour to express their wish in a Requi sition, presented to me this day, that I s h ou ld come f orwar d as a Candidate for the Representation of this Division in Parliament ; and, having spontaneously offered me their sup port, I conceive it to be my duty at once to accede to.a re quest so flatteringly conveyed, and therefore take the earliest opportunity of announcing my intention to solicit your Suf frages at the next Election. strongly attached to our Constitution in Church and State, I will resist all attempts to weaken or impair the efficiency of the Established Church.; and, while as a sincere friend to the rights of civil and religious liberty amongst all classesnf my fellow-subjects, I respect the conscientious scruples of the Religious Dissenters, I will sanction no scheme, however specious, which tends in any way directly or indirectly to dissever the connection between Church and State. I am strongly opposed to any system of National Educa tion not based upon our National Religion. I am fully sensible of the vast and increasing importance of the commercial and manufacturing relations of this coun try ; and, while I hope always to see a just and equitable protection afforded to the ;industry of the Agriculturist, I would support any measures which may tend to the full deve lopment of trade, and to promote the various interests of the manufacturing classes. Disapproving of the measures and policy of her Majesty's present Administration, I hope soon to see it replaced by a firm and independent Government, acting upon its own con stitutional responsibility, actively desirous of removing any abuses or defects which may be lona fide proved to deface our Institutions, whether civil or ecclesiastical, but firmly determined to support the great principles of the Constitu tion, and to resist the dangerous innovations of the present day. • The Mariner's Church Has now been established, under the patronage of the Bishop of the Diocese, for more than twelve years ; and, as far as its means will allow, is carrying out the objects of the institution with increasing benefit. But their exertions are limited, for want of further support, and owing to the necessary repairs of the church, which have been lately effected, the Society is still involved in debt. It is, therefore, confidently hoped that the public will assist in liquidating this, and by increased subscriptions enable the committee to enlarge their sphere of usefulness, by opening schools for the children of seamen and flatmen. Gentlemen, upon these principles I shall solicit the honour of your Suffrages ;—upon these principles I am prepared to act ; and if I should be so fortunate as to attain to the high distinction of being one of your Representatives in Parlia ment, it shall bo my endeavour, by a steady adherence to them, and by a zealous discharge of the duties incumbent upon me, to serve you faithfully, to justify the confidence your kindness has reposed in me, and to promote with my utmost ability your best interests, and the welfare and pros perity of the empire at large. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, With great - respect, Your very faithful servant, GEORGE CORNWALL LEGIL High Legh, Jan. 23rd, 1840. The Naval and Military Bible Society, and Prayer Book and Homily Society, Are also in great need of assistance. Their object is to visit the shipping, by means of an agent who is employed for that purpose, and to supply the crews with prayer-books and homilies, and copies of the Scriptures, at reduced prices ; and, by a law of the Parent Naval and Military Bible Society, it is their wish to place on board every ship, flat, and steam boat, which leaves the port, a gratuitous supply of the Scrip tures, for the use of the crew (in proportion to the number of the men), where there are no means of selling them. I trust that the claims of these Societies will meet with a willing re sponse from all who are interested in the well-being of the seamen, as their funds are totally inadequate to carry out this desirable object without involving the parent society in a considerable loss. T HE celebrated Cordial BALM of SYRIACUM, or NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE. There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of the present day, and more particularly in those of the past century, than a general disregard to the maxims of prudence in regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the vast multi tudes who, having acquired the portion of an enfeebled con stitution, are doomed to the class of habitual invalids. Their minds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, and their bodies weak, the natural functions of life are discharged laboriously, with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervous derange ment, the celebrated Trinitarian Bible Society. The peculiar object of the Trinitarian Bible Society is to publish faitViil Protestant Versions of the Holy Scriptures, in the Portuguese, Spanish, and German languages, in the translation of which they are already engaged : and it will be the particular design of the Liverpool Auxiliary, in addition to the ordinary modes of circulating the Word of God, to em ploy an intelligent pious person, as an agent, to visit the abodes of the poor and ignorant, whom there is no other means of reaching, for the purpose of inducing them to take an inte rest in the Holy Scripture, and to become purchasers by weekly or monthly subscriptions. CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS. In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable. Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their constitutions and brought on a perfect tab is riorsalis ; or, in their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady, the affected with / any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu larity, weakness, total impotency. barrenness. &CL.. But the relief the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUieIv:i the ge nerally administers is not confined to these latitudinarian by birth, who has received froamnne'lLirst parents the ' the inheritance of a diseased and unprolitic iv fi e • life, together deli cate female, whom an immured and inaet with an immoderate use of tea and other weak and on all and thewatery aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought ' calamitous symptoms of a consumptiv e habit, and are, with atpreern Cordial Bal m o f sv ature grave ! S uc h out timely assistance, sinking into as these, under Divine Influence, b riacum will restore to the enjoy m ent of all the c om f orts of life. It is universally admired, being pleasant to the taste a n d digestion health,re strength, smell, gently astringes the fibres of t h e sto mach , and gi ves that proper tensity which a good To the young . i t afford lasting and spirits, in place of lassitude and debility, an d to the aged and infirm it will assuredly furnish _great relief an d comfort, by gently and sa f e ly invigorating the system. I t will not give immor tality, but if it be in the po wer of medicine to gild the autumn declining years, and cal m l y and serenely protract of the close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is capable of effecting this grand desideratum. The Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In dies for nourishing and invigoratin g th e nervous system and acting as a genera restorative on debilitated constitutions, arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates. The studious as well as the sedentary part of the community should never b e w i thout the Cordial Balm of Syriacum, which removes diseases of the head, invigorates the mind, mproves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.

At 22, SLATER-STREET , LIVERPOOL, (Private Extract Prot Door sop Me Pan a 91,) Jewish Institution. The object of this Institution is to provide a temporary asylum for enquiring and converted Jews, and after eighteen mouths' experience, it has amply answered the benevolent intentions of the promoters. While the inquirer can obtain relief for a time, where he may be protected against the persecutions of his brethren, the mode of living is so plain as not to offer an inducement to false or insincere professions. Much good is being done; but the funds .are so inadequate, that unless friends come forward more liberally with their means, the whole institu tion must be given up. Irish Sunday School Society, To promote the establishment and facilitate the conducting of Sunday schools in Ireland, by disseminating the most approved principles for the management of such schools, by supplying them with spelling-books, and copies of the Sacred Scriptures, or extracts, without note o r comment, e i ther gra tuitously or at reduced prices. Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews. The name of this Society sufficiently explains 'its object. It is to lead the lost sheep of the house of Israel to that Sa viour whom they crucified. Christians are under a heavy obligation to the Jews, for it was by them that the Sacred Volume was preserved, and to them they stand indebted for Christianity itself. But they should feel interested on their behalf, not only for the blessings of the past, but on account of the glory that is in store for the world when the Jews shall be restored to their own land. There are 50 Agents in connection with the Society, and of these, eight'church clergymen and twenty-three missionaries are converted Jews. The Society has the strongest claims upon all Christians. Achill rd ission. Dingle Mission. The whole income of all the above Societies together, in the wealthy and important town of Liverpool, with a popula tion of above 200,000 persons, amounts to little more than £3OOO. Surely there are 20,000 persons in the town (a tenth of the population), who could afford ss. per annum to the whole of the above Societies together, and this would produce £5OOO. Or, are there not ten congre- • gations, from each of which 500 persons could be found willing to subscribe 2s. 6d. per annum to any of the above of which they approve ; and this alone would produce £5OOO. Let every_ one do something, be it ever so small, and the funds of aU 'wilt shew a vast inc a r er e l • n a e s or e anel at the % end of Ilk 'when,. God wining, I hope aga in to la y the finan cial state of the various Societies before the public.

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS . rPHE accounts lately rece i ve d from Macao, brought intelli -1 genre of the English having been totally expelled from China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendent in person, and Chinese men of war ; in other words, China is at war with England. And the questions upon which the two countries are now at issue being of such difficult adjust ment as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro bable, that any more teas can be obtained from China for a very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of that article has taken place. Since June last, common black teas have risen ls. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sa l es, 9 s. 7d. per lb. ; fine black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up to this mo ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise, however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding's How- QUA'S MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of Gs. 9d. .per lb., being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when the commonest teas, since June, have advanced is. 9d. per lb. HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDEId Will he sold, for the present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea, is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter catties in like proportions. Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable tea in Great Britain will be exhausted before that period, there is little doubt but tea will advance daily. These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUN PO WDE R ,in Chinese Catty Packages. N.B.—The signature of " Captain Jost Rnoozs PID DING" is upon every genuine package. GEO. CARLYLE, Repository, 38, Bold-street, gale Agent for LIVERPOOL. ~ .. . G. J. French, Silk Mercar. . J.

LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment permanently at No. 38, SEEL-STREET, eight doors from Berry-street. They continue to fill up the cavities of De cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums. there are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so affected, Mons. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single application, without the slightest pain. Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, an swering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation, remaining perfectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility,-- at the following Paris charges : A single ArtifiCial Tooth £0 10 0 A complete Set A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on tine gold plate An entire Set of Natural or Terro Metal lic Teeth, highly finished, in the first style, with tine gold sockets, usually charged 40 guineas Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.

Parsons, R.N., of the Leeds steamer, reports, that, on Friday night is t, between twelve and one o'clock, as he was running in towards the banks, he saw two briika.nt lights on the Flint coast. As such lights, if repeated, might lead comparative strangers to the port astray, and thereby endanger life and property, Lieutenant Parsons thinks the people on the coast of Flint ought to be cautioned against exhibiting lights which may be mistaken for the regular lights for the guidance of vessels inward bound. It always gives us pleasure to record instances of royal munificence to the fine arts. His Majesty the King of the French having received from Mr. Boys, the publisher, of Golden-square, the new beautiful Work of " Picturesque Architecture in Paris, Ghent, Scc.," just published, has most handsomely presented to him a splendid brilliant ring, with his cypher L. P. in diamonds, on a blue enamel shield, bor dered with brilliants, and surmounted by a crown of the same precious stones. • It was accompanied by a letter, expressing his Majesty's desire that the gift should be-reciveci as a sou venir of the gratification which the work has afforded him. We doubt not the acknowledged taste of Louis Philippe, and his just appreciation of this unigite production, will stimulate lovers of the fine arts to become possessed of so splendid and talented a work. LIVERPOOL UNION BANK,—The annual meeting of the proprietors of this concern was held on Wednesday week, at • the Clarendon-rooms, Thomas Rodick, Esq. in the chair. The report stated the gratifying fact that during a period of unexampled difficulty, the bank has not only maintained its ground, but has continued steadily to increase its protits. - The paid up capital is £260,450. held by 348 shareholders. On the 31st December, 1838, the reserved surplus fund was, £60,000. The net profits for the year 1839, were £ 9 8.904 14s 3d. Two dividends of 5 per cent, each have i tt io n t d ) - , J m o ,e lt r i e - t been declared, amounting to- £26,045 ; and the present 4;61j500. rejtirLA, • thryurrnoetra reserved surplus fund is Miller, Egqrs., the director .. s who a re-elected. The sum of .4,J190 was voted to the bill com mittee, as a testimonial of respect for the ma nner in which they have discharge d their arduo us duties. The sum of one hundred guineas were also voted to Mr. Lister, the manager i of.the estimation in 1 and Mr. Baird, the sub-manager, for the purchase of two as testimonials II( held. The their services arereport and proceedings appeared to give the high pieces of plate, highest satisfaction. Sr. SIMON'S SUNDAY SCIROOLS.—The teachers of the above schools gave their annual tea party on Thusdav e*eri.:- • ing last to their friends and supporters, (the Rev. A. ICl`Con= key kindly lent All Saints school-room for the puri?ose t ) where- near 300 persons sat down to tea. The - Rev. 11. S. Joseph presided, in the absence of J. Rigby, Esq.; after tea: the Rev. Dr. Tattershall addressed the meeting-in a suitable - and most impressive speech. An encouraging report of the last year's progress was then read. The Rev. Messrs. Joseph and M`Lindon communicated in their speeches much inte resting information on the subject of Sunday Schools:- Messrs. Worall and Hayes, superintendents Of Sundays Schools followed, and the business was closed by an 'aiideess to Sabbath School teachers from the Rev. J. Connor, - minis- - , ter of St. Simon's. On Friday the children lUid a treat from' their kind teachers, and with smiling faces and happytearts, 200 sat down to their hot cross buns and toast and ten. PERIODS OF HOLDING THE BOROUGH SESSIONS.:--W know not who arranges the periods at which the Quarterly l. and Intermediate Sessions are held in Liverpool, but we are. constrained to observe, that it would be impossible for any business to be performed with less attention to system, and we may add, propriety. The first, or Epiphany Sessions; in the present year commenced, if we remember correetlf, the 7th of January last : the Intermediate Sessions were held on the 4th of February ; and the next Quarter Sessions will. commence on the 18th of May. Now, when Mr. Rathbtine' and others benevolently exerted themselves for the introdne-• tion of the practice of holding intermediate sessions in the winter months, their object was to prevent prisoners being kept, during the severe season, too long waiting for trial, when, in point of fact, they might be innocent. A glance at the dates above recorded will show how this laudable design has been frustated. The Epiphany Sessions concluded - about' the 14th or 15th of January. The Intermediate Sessions were held three weeks afterwards., instead of six reel-, was at first expected. We Cannot, for our own part, see why the Borough Sessions should not be held here, as they are at Salford, every six weeks. All persons ivho had any business at them would then know when they eonupenced. On all hands it is allowed, that it would be exceedingly. de sirable to have the term of imprisonment preceding the trial of a person charged with an offence as short as possible. .In the ti rst place, if he be t g , tw it t is y, l ) ..e.m,.., :l ., : i r ufo t gr h ai a on t l - s - tt i l ha e neee s b h : G tot u e l f : a l . not suffer more than is unavoidable of this preliminary in justice ; and secondly, if he be the sooner the borough or county is transportable offence, relieved a the expense of supporting In kIiCT ~~/ \ ~~'~~~ ~~~
