THE Committee of the Liverpool Dispensa ries be g most earnestly to lay before the Clergy and Ministers of Religion of this town, and the Public generally, the exhausted state of the funds of these old and valuable institutions. The deficit at the close of the financial Year will exceed £l,OOO, and, unless an immediate in. crease be made to the Subscriptions and Donations, the Committee will be under the reluctant, but absolute, ne cessity of submitting to the Governors, at the next an nual meeting, the propriety of closing either the North or the South Dispensary ; and, as there can be no doubt but that very calamitous effects would be consequent on such a step, it is sincerely hoped that the present appeal will be answered in such a manner as to prevent so painful an al ternative OD behalf of the General Committee, JONATHAN BROQICS, President Dispensaries-office, l, Fenwick-street, Oct., 1845.

THE Directors have the satisfactio❑ to announce, that the Plans and Books of Reference for the Line, be tween London and Oxford, required by the Standing Or ders of both Houses of Parliament, are in such a state of forwardness, that the Shareholders may rely upon their being deposited in due time for application to Parliament in the ensuing Session. The Directors, after mature deliberation, and in the ex ercise of the powers vested in them by the Company's Deed, have determined to confine their application to a Line from London to Oxford only, with a Branch to Thome. They have been induced to adopt this course, conceiving that the ground beyond Oxford has been vir tually conceded to the Great Western Railway Company, in consequence of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton Railway having, contrary to general expectation, received the sanction of Parliament since this Line was first brought before the Public ; a contest, therefore, for such ground would only involve heavy and useless expen diture, without any prospect of a favourable result. The Line which the Directors have now determined to apply for, is one which is universally admitted to be re • quired for the convenience of the Inhabitants of the Counties of Oxford and Buckingham, and for the accom modation of that Traffic which will be concentrated at Oxford by the Cheltenham,-Worcester, Birmingham, and Rugby Lines, and which this Line will convey to London by a route ten miles shorter than any one now existing. The Traffic Tables show that there will be a large remu neration for the Capital proposed to be expended ; and there is every reason to believe, that in this, as in all other instances. when Railway accommodation is supplied, the Traffic which i❑ former years passed between Oxford and the Metropolis, and through the Towns along this Line, now wholly unprovided with railway communica tion, will be very materiaily increased by the greater fa cility thus afforded.

Some articles were found partially removed, but nothing was taken. The house bad been opened by false keys. The prisoner was committed for trial. REMOVING SPIRITS WITHOUT A PERMIT.—Two men, Lawrence M'Kenna and Thomas Carney, were yesterday charged before Mr. Rushton with this offence, which at first appeared also to involve a felony. It appeared that on Saturday last the prisoners were observed, by a police officer, rolling a cask on the pavement in Renshaw-street, and suspiciOn arising they were questioned, when they said it was porter which they were taking to Mrs. Lloyd's, publican, in the same street. That person, however, said she knew nothing about it. It was also found that in place of porter, the cask contained 18 gallons of rum. Under the act 6th of George IV, sec. 118, which makes the extreme penalty for the offence £lOO. Mr. Rushton fined the prisoners £5O each, or to be imprisoned for three months. ROCK FERRY.—TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.—On Saturday evening last, at a meeting of the subscribers to a testi monial to Mr. Thomas Weston, held at .the Rock Hotel, Joseph Ackers, Esq. was unanimously called upon to preside. After a very complimentary speech from the chairman to Mr. Weston, followed by other gentlemen, it was resolved, on the motion of Mr. J. Nelson Wood, seconded by Mr. Charles H. Steele, "That this plate be presented to Mr. Thomas Weston, on his leaving the collectorship of Rock Ferry, for his long and tried services, with a request he will accept it as a testimonial of their esteem and regard for the uniform civility and kindness he has at all times manifested towards them." Mr. Weston returned thanks in a most feeling manner. The plate consists of a richly embossed silver bread basket, and salts. This token of regard is most de servedly bestowed, as few men are more respected at Rock Ferry and the neighbourhood than Mr. Weston. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT —Yesterday, at the Police-court,a respectably dressed young man, named Thomas Leacy, was charged with this offence by his uncle, Mr. James Leacy, a cattle-dealer. Mr. Leacy said he had employed the prisoner to go to Stamford fair with twenty bullocks, with directions either to remit the money, or a bill at ten days for it, or to bring it to him himself, at Wigtown, in Scotland. The prisoner sold the bullocks and got the money—£lBs but in place of bring ing or remitting it, he had remitted only £l2l, and re tained the rest, on the plea that it was due to him as wages—though no wages were due—and he (prisoner) in lieu of the deficiency had made out a bill (produced) by which it was falsely made out that complainant was actually in debt to him. The prisoner was under agree ment to serve the complainant for seven years at £5O a year, and had received his wages up to the time. The letter containing this statement of the prisoner had been , posted from Liverpool, which, it appeared, placed the case within the jurisdiction of Mr. Rushton, who accord ingly committed him for trial. Our musical readers cannot fail to have noticed in the newspapers, Mr. Haddock, the celebrated violoncello player's advertisement of a grand miscellaneous concert on Tuesday, the 9th of December, at the Royal Assembly Rooms, Great George-street. The lovers of genuine vocal and instrumental harmony, who would luxuriate in performances of the highest class, need only to be referred to the programmes, now ready. There they will see Mr. Willy, whose execution on the violin has called forth so much admiration in London, with Signor F. and Madame Lablache. Mr. Haddock's well-earned fame at our Philharmonic requires no further addition from us. His solo, on his most difficult of all instruments, will, we predict, form one, among st the many gems of the de lightful evening. Mrs. H. Beale, who gave so successful n concert in the same rooms, a few months slice, will again take her place at the piano-forte. We feel our incompetence to do justice to this lady's merits. Th, , se who have heard her, and witnessed her utmost execution, will agree with us. Early application should be made or tickets. 6ret olcs lot': tiox• tbe 3 .0 00 Le' aoti v ss°' ping 8° re d• vvl pti•P 11 0 let ei e L b th, ,ne bet on a ,a os ible i safer ,bioe d po' r aa . to t. ru 0 A ct"-
