The author, at the outset, protests against the project urged by the Metropolitan Sanitary Commissioners (in regarding all economies infe rior to that of public health), of discharging the whole of the sewage of London into the Thames, and to pre- therein, flushing them with large volumes of water at brief periodical intervals. " If, he says, "it can be shown that the public health can be as effectually guarded enormous sacrifice—if it can be dem-onstrated ich human ingenuity can possibly devise, nstrumentality effect, for the sanitary welfare üblic, can be accomplished without this sinful waste of substances which are in themselves eminently conclusive to health, as essential elements (in the agri cultural production of) of food—T conceive it be- comes a sacred duty to oppose the sacrifice, and adopt the best course by which it may be avoided." He adds, that " amid the almost incalculable mass of refuse substances which the sewers of the metropolis convey into the river, is a vast amount of valuable fertilizing matttr. the great bulk of which consists of human cxnvisp_ nightsoil, &e.," commodities duly appreciated on the continent, but not until lately appreciated here, and, as yet, only by a scientific few.

He adduces evidence, proving, from Mr. Chadwick and others. " that all smell of decomposing matter (as relates to agriculture) may be said to indicate loss of money." Mr. Ellerman next advocates water-closets (in lieu of the present general plan in all dwellings) with cisterns containing the patent fluid, to keep them sweet as regards health, and the expense, if such Were adopted, would be below that of the present cess-pool system even in cot- sketch is given of the inte nor ot a set ot these water-closets, and showing the manner in which the fertilizing substance may be carted away without injury to health, or offence to the nasal Turning back to the middle of the pamphlet, as afford ing u, a more suitable finale to this hasty notice than its conclu-ion, we give the outline of the plan suggested by the author. It proposes— " Ist. The preservation of the Thames'and other waters flowing through towns and populous districts, from pol lution by human exuviEe and other decomposing sub stances. " 2nd. The improvement of the land, by bestowing upon it the matter thus diverted from the water. " 3rd. The promotion of public health, by causing greater abundance of food and increased industrial occu pation. - "4th. The collection, removal, and final distribution of the substances referred to, in a manner which shall render them inodorous and innocuous in every stage of the process. " 3th. The prevention of all deterioration of the fer tilizing matter by excessive dilution or admixture with substances inimical to veg " 6th. The preservation of the large quantity of ferti lizinF matter which is now wasted, irrespectively of that consigned to rivers or streams or suffered to remain in unemptied cesspools—viz. ; the portion sacrificed through insufficient public urinaria, ill-regulated cloacw, constant evaporation, &c. ; and, "7th. The saving of the whole in such a form that it may be conveyed to distant tracts of country as well as adjacent lands, and applied to the earth in the more or less liquified or concentrated condition, which the state of the weather or the peculiar nature of soil and crop may render expedient." n to m rent ev knew better than 8 ,he boil e measu not be main r Robert Peel iotive whilst .nd of coals nounting the er and fuel, and with half I to the train, id bring him to a e, before he had got half way We can ussell all on.

We are now. however, in possession of an apparatus, patented by Mr. L. Wellman Wright, which bids fair to answer all the intended purposes of application ; and though it does not differ in appearance materially from the ordinary machine, its principle is so complete that its effi cacy is beyond doubt. At the top of the machine, which is used exactly as the ordinary one, is a moving and oscil ating ball, followed about a foot below by a circular brush, suited in size to sweeping chimney pots. At about five feet below this, are a series of brushes, fixed on a belt of vulcanized india rubber, and the top and bottom of which are ends of brass, the former rather larger than the latter, which is of the same circumference as the india rubber bands. As the machine is forced up the flue, the elasticity of the vulcanized india rubber allows the brushes without injury to take an oblique position, and facilitates the operation of its ascension, but directly the machine is attempted to be withdrawn, they become fixed in an hori zontal form, by their catching against the flanging por tion of the top, and thus the outer circumference of the apparatus is so much increased, that it would be next to impossible that it could fail in removing every particle of accumulated soot. The following diagram will illustrate it. The dotted line shews the position of the brushes when the machine is ascending, and the parallel,lines when descending, mall ~,~ Joii # Rubber, Another important advantage is the adaptation of vul canised Indian rubber to the purpose of universal joints, which are fixed between each required length of can e , so as to allow them when slightly pressed by the revol v i ng ball coming against the curvatures of a chimney, to turn the most acute angle. A trial of the apparatus was made last week on a chim ney of rather a difficult character. The operator at first, conceiving it to be a straight flue, did not apply the pliable joints, which are only necessary where ordinary machines would not do ; and the consequence was, that 'before the brushes had reached half the height of the pre nises, the became fixed across an an. The w was , mmediatel y y withdrawn and th e joints gle applied, wh h en ole with , Pparent ease the ball was projected and exhibited at the -op of the chimney, which, to the astonishment of all, ran into a stack horizontally fully 20 feet from the place at which the machine was introduced. On its being drawn down the flue, it brought with it an immense quantity of soot, but in order to prove that none was left it was again •=ent up, and the result was most satisfactory. A com pany has been formed in this town for the purpose of practically carrying out this invention ; and we trust that (if for humanity's sake alone) they will meet support. The charges they make are in accordance with the rents, varying from 4d. per chimney upwards, but the projectors have most liberally undertaken to cleanse the flues in all unrated houses gratuitously, which will do much for the sanatory condition of the town, and tend to prevent the annoyance and danger arising from firing chimneys. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE M. Dejean ane .. l his company, we shall only have this opportunity of re viewing the remaining members of the establishment, and regret that we cannot do that ample justice to them which they so well deserve ; we will, however, glance at them, and fulfil the promise we gave at the bas a sma but muscu iar figure ; he has , eat power of spring, and takes lion-like leaps over a table at least eight feet wide, and concludes by riding with great energy and spirit. He is a very useful person, takes part in a variety of acts, and contributes much to the general amusement. He speaks English, and offi ciates as master of the ring occasionally. M. CHANDLER.—His figure, as he appears in the tight flesh-coloured dress, handsomely bedizened with spangles, makes us exclaim, how truly beautiful is the human form .when finely developed ! The Greeks might well have sta tues. The nature of his exercise has given him a thigh of the finest mould ; the rectus and vasti muscles are very powerful. His performances are very extraordinary. His brother is also a fine little fellow, and deserves all -- '-out like a ball at play—but it is praise ; no pla' he is t hrown a Chandler are balancing his brother on liishariraiart ; ; length, with the body inverted, and repeatedly tossing an.i catching him on the soles of his feet, which are truly astonishing. We believe he is an Englishman. M. A. SIEGRIST does some perfectly astounding feats on the decanters, is amazingly clever, and must be seen to be appreciated. ay& IA/5G1.441 LUG " Chinese Festival ;" an extraordinary display of muscu lar power, agility, and the art of equilibrium. M. biegrist at one time sustains the weight of the four others on his person. The entire action is very characteristic of the Chinese, and the costume most adniirable a singular piece of vivid action. M. VEHEL is a grand vaulter over the back of the horse. His costume is good, a mixture of red and blue, handsomely ornamented. He is also a clever rider, and manages four horses in an act entitled " Middle Ages." The horses have been finely trained, and make some re markable changes in their positions. M. Ducos is a good equestrian, and performs some clever feats in the act entitled " the leaping man and leaping horse"—both springing at the same time. He has a good form, but the style of dress does not show him to advantage. MADLLE. CAROLIE Ducos is a very spirited and clever rider, and leaps through hoops and over streamers with much activity. She dresses in the Swiss costume.. M. Momrcao.—The ape is so finely exhibited by him that it actually looks like the reality. His nimbleness and activity are unique. The death scene is acted to per fection ; his limbs quiver, and the last struggle is most admirable. He will perform the ape during the course of this week, and we can strongly recommend those who have not seen the performance not to lose this opportunity. THE SPANISH DWARF HIDALGO.—riat diminutive specimen of humanity has much droll humour. and is an excellent comic performer : he is also an equestrian like the rest of the troupe. M. SIEGRIST is a very useful and good actor. The simpleton in the " Harlequinade " is well enacted by him ; , and the gendarme in " R on d o l e t an d P assecarr eau ' is a clever piece of comic acting. His back gets most desper ately kicked by that wild and untameable little poney, with the remarkably long mane. YOUNG NIED exhibits feats of horsemanship on the bare backed steed ; he rides a handsome dun-coloured horse, and balances himself on the hind-quarters of the animal at full speed, in a very remarkable manner. M. ANDRE personates a variety of characters on the horse, is a clever equestrian, and makes a good harlequin. M. LAMBERT is a good rider in the saddle. He has a tall figure, and officiates in conjunction with M. Franconi as master of the ring. There are several equestrian acts in which he performs. " The Four Quarters of the Globe " are remarkable for the extreme beauty and cor rectness of the costume and trappings of the horses. The dress of M. Lambert is that of Africa—a handsome Ara bian costume. " The Musketeers' Quadrille," and the preceding, are quadrilles danced by the horses, and prove that M. Franconi can teach a four-footed animal to dance as well as our Mr. St. Albin can one of the biped race. To these may be added the " Hussars of France," and the " Festival of Flowers," which are evolutions performed by the horses, and exhibit the most accomplished training which these animals are capable of. "Le Jeu de Barres ' is a very exciting game, and exhibits some excellent sad dle riding. _ Theii exit is THE LiVERPOOt STAIOARD. W , 7 , 14•_,!v;.4!m *ad** THE NAVIGATION LAWS.—A petition to both houses of parliament from the shipowners of this town was lying for signature a short time on Wednesday and Thursday at the Exchange News-room. It received the names of upwards of 400 of the principal firms of the town. The prayer of the petition is that a select committee be ap pointed to inquire into the policy and operation of the Navigation Laws, and that parliament will refuse its sanc tion to any legislation thereon until such inquiry shall be completed. THE MECHANICS IN LlVERPOOL.—Mechanics and artificers particularly, are badly off. Men who formerly earned, as joiners, 255. to 30s. a week, are now glad to find employment as common labourers, at 15s. to 17s. 6d. a-week. The suspension of building is the cause of this depression. One half of the houses, we might almost safely say, are " to be let" in Birkenhead ; and in this town not a few. Fortunate has it been for us the winter has been mild ; and we may now look forward to a genial spring bringing some comfort to the unfortunate working classes. CLOSING OF THE POST-OFFICE ON SUNDAY.—"We understand that application having been made to the Postmaster-General, by some parties in Liverpool, for the closing of the Post-office on the Sabbath, an answer was on Tuesday received, to the effect that if a memorial, signed by a majority of the inhabitants, were presented to ,that effect, it would be complied with. As a literal fulfilment of this condition would of course be impracticable, it is understood by some parties that a memorial very numer ously signed would be sufficient to ensure the Postmaster- General's acquiescence. ST. PAUL'S SCHOOLS.—A very kind response has been given to the appeals made by the Revds. Hugh Jones, Fielding Ould, and Dr. M`Neile, in behalf of the schools belonging to St. Paul's Church. We rejoice to find that the collections and donations amounted, together, to about £7O. A gentleman waited upon one of the ministers of the church, and handed in what he had re maining of a sum consigned to him for charitable pur poses, which sum was £l5 10s. 7d. Another gentleman gave a £lO note, two others £5 each. Handsome as all this is, it goes a very little way towards liquidating a debt of nearly £200; and when that debt is all paid, how are the schools to be carried on ? Is it not to be feared that the loud and frequently urged appeals, in behalf of moral and religious education, are a mere hypocritical pretence, whin the very advocates themselves, when applied to, withhold the pecuniary aid necessary to maintain it ? CONDUCT OF THE CHIEFS OF THE POST-OFFICE TO THEIR CLERKS.—Mr. Thomas Plant, a clerk in the Li verpool Post-office, has written a letter to the Postmaster tendering his resignation, and conveying a just rnbuke of the inconsiderate and illiberal conduct of the Post-office authorities to their clerks. He states that after a faithful and diligent service of eight years, and notwithstanding repeated petitions from himself and fellow clerks for a more equitable scale of salaries, he is no better paid than the novice of yesterday's appointment, end that even some of the stampers (of inferior standing) have risen to salaries equal to clerks who have been longer in the service, with extras besides, which are denied to the clerks. He adds that, weary of beseeching the Postmaster-General to consider these facts, and his patience being exhausted, he has sought and obtained employment elsewhere, where faithful services will be requited, and therefore would retire from his situation at the post-office on the 21st, yesterday. THE POOR OF LIVERPOOL.—At the meeting of the Select Vestry, on Tuesday, it was stated that five able bodied men, who had refused to break stones, at which, if industrious, they might earn 9s. or 10s. per week. had been sent into the workhouse by Mr. Gray, who was alarmed by the threats of Mr. Rushton. The uncourte ous treatment of the overseers and committee by the sti pendiary magistrate was much deprecated, but it appeared that his remarks had not applied to the above case, but to one in which a young man who was lame had been refused relief. The Rev Rector Brooks stated that the allowance of food to tramping casual poor had been fixed by a recent regulation of the Poor-Law Commissioners, at six ounces of .bread for supper, and the same for brerkfast, after lodgings during the night. This regulation has not yet been addressed to Liverpool. A total of £175 45. had been expended in bread and soup from the 7th to the 15th February. The chairman expressed his conviction that there was more distress at present amongst our local me chanics than last year. THE CELLAR NUISANCE.—The formidable work of clearing the unwholesome cellars from occupation as dwellings, is steadily advancing. There are no fewer than 14,085 of these wretched abodes, occupied by 27,128 hu man beings ; and in 5,841 of the cellars there are found open wells or cesspools for receiving the drainage and filth of the upper and adjacent property. 132 of the worst streets have been selected, and notices to clear out the tenants have been served upon 4,204 owners, 344 occu pants, and for 312 cellars in courts. The number of cel lars entirely vacated are 2,726. By sleeping on the floor, or worse contrivances, in about 500, the inmates evade the operation of the act, which requires proof that a bed is found in the premises, and 749 cellars have been so far altered as to keep within the letter of the law, although still unfit for residence. In these respects, and in several others, improvements might be introduced into the sani tary act ; but, on comparing it with Lord Morpeth's Health of Towns' Bill, which, as it now stands, would supersede the provisions of the local act, the proposed bill is found to be very deficient in several important practical details, and will, therefore, probably, be resisted so far as its operation might extend to this borough. ST. DAVID'S DAY AND THE WELSH SCHOOLS.—We are sorry to hear that the Welsh Schools, in Russell street, are languishing for want of funds. There are 400 children receiving instruction daily in the schools at pre sent. The Committee feel it their duty to make an earnest appeal to the public to come to their aid, other wise their present efficiency cannot be maintained. The inhabitants of Liverpool are aware, that education based upon the Word of God, is the only system of instruction calculated to make the poor good subjects and good Christians. This old-established and excellent institu tion therefore ought not to be suffered to remain under a cloud. Sermons on behalf of the Schools will, we per ceive by an advertisement elsewhere, be preached next Sunday in St: David's Church. The Rev. J. Baylee will preach in Welsh. Mr. Baylee, like the learned Bishop of St. David's, in addition to his other mental attain ments, is now able to preach fluently in Welsh. The Rev. Mr. Pollock, the able and esteemed minister of St. Marks, is to preach in English, and the Rev. Mr. James, of Kirkdale, whose talents arid patriotism are too well known to require any remark, is to preach in Welsh. An eminent minister from North Wales will preach on the Anniversary of St. David NEW " BLACK STAR" PACKET SHIP.—The New York Journal of Commerce gives the following description of the noble ship Columbus, which lately arrived in our river, and is certainly worthy of the character. " A new three-decker merchantman, of 1.800 tons, carpenter's measurement, has just come round from Portsmouth, where she was built by Fernald and Pettigrew, for Messrs. D. and A. Kingsland, of this city, to be employed as one of C. Grirnshaw and Co.'s Liverpool and New York 'Black Star line of packets, under the command of Capt Robt. M`Cerran, late of the `America,' and who is favourably known in the trade for his rapid passages. The ship has been built at extraordinary expense of workmanship ; the keel and kelson are immensely heavy, being 81 ft. deep. besides sister kelsons and bilge kelsons. The knees, braces, and timbers, of every name, are large and tho roughly bolted with copper in every direction, until the whole seems to be formed into a solid mass; the masts are trunks of a noble pine of Maine, 90 feet long , and. 2 a feet, in di ame t er , a t top ; she has three full decks running the whole length of th e s hi p ; th e ca bins are beautiful and the passengers s l e a n r g g e e r s s t andcom m er o e d w i , ou e s ith a e nd me a s ll t arr angements, for e fo is r merchant vessel in th e U n ited States; length 186 . feet, breadth 41 feet, and depth of hold 3 0 6 - 10 feet. She is now loading at No. 5 pi e r and makes an 800 ton ship by her side look like a boat. We recommend all who are curious in naval architecture to pay her a visit, and can assure them they will not be disappointed." THE WATER GUARD OF THE CUSTOMS.—A pamphlet has just been published by Mr. Dignan, S out h J o h n _ street, bearing the following title, " The Waterguard of the Customs : the inhuman treatment of Tidewaiters of H.M.Customs—the absurdity of the duties required of them—the impossibility of their compliance with the instructions issued for their guidance; and their useless ness as guardians of the revenue : by W. Short, of Park lane, Liverpool."—This work comprises a series of letters and editorial remarks, originally published in a contem porary, by which all that is stated in the title page quoted, as well as much more on behalf of tidewaiters, is made out in an undeniable manner. Mr. Short exposes, in indignant language, the severe and indeed impracticable duties imposed upon that class of revenue servants ' • their long and continuous hours of att en d ance on hoard ship, (24 hours one day, and 15 the next) ; their inadequate pay ; their constant liability to be discharged for not doing what mortal man cannot accomplish ; and their consequent inutility (under the present system) as pro tectors of the revenue. His objects, as stated in his in troduction at more length, are "to abolish the worse than Egyptian bondage under which the unfortunate tide waiters labour"; "to free the community from undue pressure upon their purses in the support of a larger and more expensive Customs establishment than is required " ; and " to afford the necessary security to the Crown by a more rational system of duties for the tidewaiters." The author points out a plan to accomplish these objects. The subject is well worthy of the serious attention of the general public, and we recommend a p erusa l o f th e b oo k, which may be had for a very small sum. MR. BUCKINGHAM'S LECTURES ON- PALESTINE.—NO lecturer who has visited oar town for years past has given INF satisfaction to the audiences whom he has addressed than the veteran in travel and in literature, Mr. Buck ingham, —not only from the variety and extent of the in formation he has personally collected on the subjects of which he treats, but from the perspicuity with which he .arranges his matter, and his elegant and pleasing manner in conveying it. His evening course of lectures on Italy, recently delivered at the Mechanics' Institution, were lis tened to with delight. The morning course, now in pro gress of delivery at the same place, are even more inte resting to the general auditor ; for what country presents, in its ancient and present condition, and in its associa tions with scriptural records, so wide a fi•ald for study and affecting historical reminiscence as Palestine, or the Holy Land. On this subject the lecturer may be said to be in his favourite element; and no traveller, we believe, ever bestowed upon it, by reading, and by acute observation during his sojourn in the country, more unremitting at tention. He brought to his task a love of research in this peculiar department, and, it may be added, a gifted and indefatigable mind. He has already given his two first lectures,—embracing the history and geographical features of the country, &c., and the cities and ports on the sea coast, but four remain to be delivered in succession, on . Tuesdays and Fridays, all of them of high interest, whe ther heard in order or apart, each being important in itself. This evening he will speak of the cities and towns of the interior, and on Friday, on Jerusalem and its en virons. The closing lectures, next week, will be on the regions beyond Jordan, and on Damascus, Baalbeck. and Palmyra. The prices for admission are extremely moderate. sent s the in nder a t iopted policy at its climax had enal with an overlh tainec N o mar there in the tend trouse Leeds, revenue ; and the owner of real proper — ty, the mer chant, the superior tradesman, th e annu it an t, t h e • , Eon of 'e have fertile re to be mulcted an ad- 7 thr 1 )es tor the opcTation: Revenue deficiency incomes do them.

HOUSE ROBBERY.—On Saturday night week, the house of Mr. Barnes, Field-street, was entered by means of skeleton keys, and wearing apparel of the value of £lO carried away. On Wednesday, a labourer, named John Williams, was killed at the new railway tunnel shaft, in Gasgoyne-street. The deceased was engaged in excavating a quantity of clay, when a large mass fell, and smothered him. On Monday, Charles Charleston, one of the crew of the packet-ship John Ravenal, fell into the hold of the ship Isaac Newton, and received a compound fracture of the skull. He died the following morning. On Tuesday, a young man, named Stephen Burns, while working at the ship Sailor Prince, lying in the Brunswick Graving Dock, fell from a stage, and fractured his skull. He died in about five minutes.

Value, £75 per annum. QUICK PASSAGE.—The ship America, Captain Dunn, arrived in our river Jon Wednesday, after one of the most rapid passages on record, being only twenty-six days from New Orleans. We understand she is one of Messrs. C. Grimshaw and Co.'s celebrated "Black Star" Packets. A very handsome font, of Caen stone, has been erected in St. James's Church. The carving is exquisite, and the bowl is sufficiently large to admit of immersion. The cost will not be less than £7O. The design is by Mr. Hay, the architect. On Thursday, Chas. Turner and Robert Benn, Escirs, sat in the Sessions-house, to adjudicate upon applications for the transfer and removal of licenses. There were thirty-nine applications, and of these thirty-eight trans fers were allowed, and one removed. On Thursday, a man named James Murray, mate of the Greenock, lying in the Queen's Dock, whilst intoxi cated attempted to go below, but in passing the hatchway, fell head-foremast into the hold, and was killed on the spot. _ _ _ At the meeting of the Liverpool Loan Company, on Thursday, the net profit for the half year was declared to be £582. and a dividend of fifteen per cent was passed. The dividend for the previous half-year was twenty per cent. A sum of nearly £l6O was also added to the re serve fund. FRENCH PLANTS.—A very splendid and healthy collec tion of French ornamental and bearing plants have arrived. They are from the nurseries of Messrs.' Martin, and Co., of Lyons, and are advertised for sale in our paper to-day. As there are amongst them many rare and new specimens, they are well worthy the attention of connoiseurs. COLLISION BETWEEN THE NIMROD AND THE MARGA RET.—Captain Cooke. to whom was referred the dispute as to the collision between these vessels, after goin g fully through the merits of the case, gave hi s awar d onWed nesday in favour of the sailing vessel, the Margaret. The damage is estimated at upwards of £2OO. On Wednesday, an old woman, named Elizabeth Hill, a resident in one of the almshouses, was burnt to death. The deceased was discovered lying in bed quite dead, her feet being burnt almost to a cinder. The bedclothes were much burnt, and a candlestick was on a table at the foot of the bed, but no candle in it. It was not ascertained how the fire originated. • INSPECTOR OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.—Mr James Fell, inspector of police at Manchester, i has been ap pointed inspector o f we i g ht s an d measures n this borough, in the place of Mr. Thomas Arstall, at a salary of £2OO a-year. Mr. Thomas Kissack, keeper of Rose-hill bride well, and Mr. John Edwards, inspector of police, have been appointed out door district inspectors of weights and measures, at a salary of £l2O a-year each. SHIP FEVER.—The British ship India, Captain Gray, (late Thompson,) arrived at New York from Liverpool, on the 22nd ult., after a passage of 57 days. Captain Thompson died of. the ship fever on the 14th. end during the voyage 39 of the passengers died of the same disease. The first officer of the ship and a large number of the passengers were still sick. When the India left Liverpool she had 270 passengers. DEATH FROM LOCKJAW.—On Wednesday week, Wm. Pritchard, aged 31, was employed at the Albert Dock Warehouses. He had rolled some empty casks from No. 5, and loaded them into-his float, when in endeavouring to place another rather heavy cask on the top of the others it slipped and jammed his left hand against the wall. He was attended by Dr. Hannay ; hut lockjaw came on, and he died on Friday. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SEAMAN'S CASE.—Amos Back, steward of the Lahore, summoned Captain Birt for arrears of wages. Back ad mitted he had been absent from the ship eleven days, but it was by th e ma t e ' s sanction. The magistrates adjudged' that he should forfeit a month's wages and pay the costs. DECLINING VIRTUE. —A respectable-looking man, named Thomas Smithson, was brought up at the Police court, on Tuesday, charged with felony. On Monday, he was a police-officer, and was suspended by Mr. Rushton for drunkenness; and, on Tuesday, to complete his de cline, he was brought up for stealing a watch. He was committed for trial. STRANGE MILITARY RULE.—A singular scene occurred in the Police -court, on Friday. A soldier, belonging to the Rifle Corps, was standing in the court with his cap on. Mr. Wyburgh, the senior clerk, observing this breach of etiquette, ordered the man to take it off, when, strange to say, he refused, and persisted in his contumacy, until Mr. Booth, the magistrate on the bench, repeated the order. His refusal was grounded on a military rule, that a soldier need not bare his head to any person, nor in any place (a court of justice excepted.) Few days pass over without the appearance in the dock of the Police-court of one or more juvenile delinquents. These are frequently the children of industrious poor peo ple, and, their crimes may, generally, he attribut e d to their coming in contact with practised thieves in the streets, who profit by their delinquencies, but manage to escape themselves. On Friday, a little boy, na...ed John M'Cann, was charged with having stolen some cigars from a shop in Soho-street. He was caught in the fact, and taken to Bridewell. The child's mother, a very decent looking woman, was in co , •rt, and expressed much sorrow for her son's offence. The magistrate ordered the boy to be given up to her, having previously admonished her to take him home, and prevent the recurrence of such an offence. ANOTHER EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF COTTON BY A WAREHOUSEMAN.—The magistrates were occupied for a considerable time, on Friday, in the investigation of a charge against William Huiston, a warehouseman, and James Tluiston, his son. Kehoe, the active officer of the detective department, stated that, about one o'clock on the afternoon of the preceding day, he and Bates, in con sequence of information they had received, went to the west end of George's Dock ; there they saw a boy deliver ing cotton from a cart which contained six bales of cotton, the property of Messrs. Cunningham and Henshaw. The cotton had the appearance of having been taken out of the original bales, and packed in others ; and Kehoe, on searching the warehouse, discovered a parcel of tares, which had evidently been broken up, probably with the purpose of obliterating the marks on them. The case was remanded till Saturday, when Mr. Oldfield stated that he did not know of any such cotton coming ; he had no agent whatever in Liverpool, and always made his purchases himself. Mr. Henshaw stated that he had examined the stock of cotton in his warehouse, and found that three bales were short. They were again brought up yesterday, and remanded a third time. Distort prlbs, A great number of colliers are leaving Chorley, to work at the pits in Durham. The first ploughing match of the Manchester and Li verpool Agricultural Society has been fixed for the 2d of March next, at Winwick. THE GROVE SCHOOL, WREXHAM.—On Monday, the pupils of Matthew Sibson, Esq., of the Grove School, Wrexham, presented Oat gentleman with a valuable silver inkstand and gold pen, accompanied by an address. On Wednesday, through an explosion of fire damp, at Sankey Brook Colliery, near Parr, three persons were killed, and four others so seriously injured, that there is no hope of their recovery. On Monday the men at Mr. Pennington's mill, Hind ley, turned out through a threatened reduction of wages; but on Wednesday they resumed work and agreed to the reduction. On Saturday week, Mr. Baldwin and his wife, who fell victims to fever, were buried at Wjgan in one grave. On the Thursday previous their daughter died from the same disease, and two other children are not expected to re cover. - - _ d u during lwa. _ 1 Subsequent inquiries about the bodies of two children found in jars in a house in Manchester, show that the last eouccdutpialanttstilerseupnpotes"emd am id u en rd s e i t s e te d rs b ,' e ' b b e u s t w su e r r g e ic m al e s re tu ly de s n u t b s : the past week, in consequence of the high soapery jecTt sub jects e inhabitants rci obtained afstAtebaron i p n ud at s wp o enta m merfst n e mhoße rra w euehnrnw a inornt y iue niegord u :rn i nss o o r wt e fh aeaorrtre to afterwards, less feslietvat iirregular. days hoaalwteer since,itvmeceo 1 was chim ney of Messrs.

At the meeting of the Manchester Chamber of Com merce last week there was a short discussion on the cur rency, Mr. D. Price contending for the necessity of an al teration in Sir R. Peel's act, so far as to leave the issue without limit, under the direction " of some managing commission, or other power of some kind or other," and Mr. John Brooks taking the same view. No resolution or other expression of opinion was proposed.

' On Sunday week four brothers and a sister,ith her , w husband, were returning in a boat across the river to Runcorn, when the boat was upset. The husband of the young woman was one of those who could swim, and escaped : he had been married but six months. His wife, a fine young woman, was enceinte. He bore her in one arm as long as he was able, w hen he was obliged, reluc tantly, to unloose his hold' of her, as both were sinking. The two swimmers escaped to land, but three of the bro thers and their sister perished. • ANOTHER SAMPLE OF 'BOMANISM. — The Manchester Courier, in giving an account of the murder, by two high waymen, near that town, and which we published last week, states that the two desperadoes are both Irishmen, and that one of them, before he fired, went down upon.his knees, pulled off his hat, placed something before him, and said, " I swear by this book, and by my dear Jesus, O yes once, 0 yes twice, 0 yes three times, the first man , that comes near me, I will shoot him. He did fire, and so did his companion, and two gallant men were shot, one of them fatally. Luckily the two villains were captured, and brought to justice. Upon the neck of one of them a kind of charm was found, to which he appeared to attach much importance. THE CROPS IN CHESHIRE.—We are sorry to learn that some potato stocks have experienced much rot within the last fortnight; we trust, however, the evil is partial in character. Dairying will soon be resumed; in the mean time we hear of nothing particular in regard of stock of this kind. It .would be well if Cheshire farmers would pay a little more.attention to their rearing stock during winter; they are now too often seen shivering with cold in some nook, and with a very small allowance of food. We should hope that the increasing cultivation of green crops will, before many years, lead to a better course of treatment, and that the time will come, that shelter, as well as a bellyful of meat will be deemed essential. , Folks are now thinking of potato planting, and we do hope that an unusual breadth of early and second -early kinds will be got in betimes, for this has been the most successful course during the last two years. WOMAN PERISHED IN A STORM.—On the 4th instant, a respectable female named Mary Herd, who has for thirty years Or upwards, conducted a grocer and draper's shop in Ulpha, set out for her son's residence in Eskdale. In order to accomplish the journey she had to cross the wild and dreary rout called Birkrow Moor, six miles in length, which divides the vales of Seathwaite and Eskdale. She could not have got more than a mile when the evening closed in with a violent hurricane of wind, and rain in torrents. It appears she had struggled against the " pelting of the pitiless storm" for four miles, and after straying off the direct road forty or fifty yards. had sunk upon the heather thoroughly exhausted. It appears, too, that she had continued her exertions to get across the moor even when unable to stand. The state of her clothes and knees, and her lacerated hands, furnished evi dence that she had struggled against her impending till nature was forced to succumb. Her umbrella was lying beside her, battered to pieces with the wind and rain.—Lancaster Gazette EMPLOYMENT IN MANCHESTER.—The depression com plained of last week still continues, and there is no pros pect, we regret to say, of an immediate improvement. At the market last week an attempt has been Inade to obtain better prices, and in some few instances it has been successful, but the advance is slight, and by no means encouraging. Meanwhile the price of cotton is main; tained, accompanied by a firmness indicating yet higher; prices. The demand for yarns being so languid, the spin ners are turning their attention again to short time, and the result will be an immediate diminution of the hours of labour in cotton-mills, and the consequent increased distress of a large number of operative hands. The dis trict surrounding Manchester participates in the gloom which pervades the town. Stockport, Ashton, Bury, Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale, Stalybridge, Heywood, and many other towns are in a very unpromising condition, Feb. 22, 184 g. hundreds of the working classes being either whollf,,, partially out of employment. The desire for emigra m ? chiefly to America, is i ncreas i ng, and every week solv e or 30 families are leaving their homes to seek the n 1 1 0; of subsistence across the Atlantic.

During the last b year there was a very general depression in the bloc printing branch of the trade. This falling off was to,„ ascribed solely to the present want of demand of this 0 „`, scription of .work. Mr. T. F. Howell, the inspector I° , the counties of Devon, Somerset, LancEster, Cheste o l , Derby, and Wilts, reports that in his district many fa ct b i ries had been closed during the whole period embraced t his report. V ery many more had been only partially ; work, some four days, some three days, and some t 4 days in the we e k, w hil e some few had continued to `x°' full time throughout. The depression in the print woe et department of th e t ra d e was sensibly felt, and the nurriu_A of children employed in this branch of industry greatly diminished. GREAT PROTESTANT MEETING IN MAN CHESTER. On Thursday evening, a great meeting of the Proteg' tants of Mancheste r an d S a lf or d was held in'the fr ee , Trade Hall, fo r th e purpose o f oppos i ng the bill reedi t ,, introduced into th e H ouse o f L ords. b y Lord Lansdovira,o e, for the establishment of diplomati c re l a ti ons b e twe: England and R ome . Ab out 5000 persons were preso t: James Wood, Esq., occupied the chair, and on the 1 111 ',4 form was a stron g mus t er o f t h e el i te of the clergy laity of the locality and neighbourhood. The Chairman referred to the statutes passed by our fcr e . d ; fathers, centuries ago, forbidding diplomatic relations the pope, for which they had sound reasons, but it was a ° ,/ sought to repeal them, though those reasons still exist s , , in thei r f u ll f orce. Popery had altered none of its clto racteristics, and it was the duty of all Protestants If stand forward and oppose this bill, which would injure this country, because it would diminish our prot e ct tantism. To that we were indebted for our civil 09 ,, religious liberty, —for our wealth, and from all the bles t ings resulting f rom t h at system of protestantism ; b ur r above a ll, f or the smile of heaven upon our country' What a feature was it that men, high in office, stool seek to associate our prote,tant queen with the p o pe ° Rome !—(Applause.)
