MISCELLANEOUS. So abundant is the crop of nuts this year that upwards of 50 sacks were pitched for sale in Yeovil market last week, . which were disposed of at from Gs to 7s a sack. CARLISLE AND MARYPORT RAILWAY.—II is intended to open the first nine miles of this line, from Aspatria to Mary port, on the 18th of June, 1839.

We do not get drunk now-a-days; we only stupify our • selves with cigars. Every generation has some anomaly 'which it elevates into a fashion.—Bentley's Miscellany. DEATH OF THE YANKEE LEAPER.—A Cheltenham paper states, that Scott, the American sailor, whose extraordinary feats of leaping have frequently been before the public, made his last leap, at Stroud, on Wednesday, having been drowned in the canal there in one of his fool-hardy attempts. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, OCT. B.—The market has not been so well attended, and business has not been quite so brisk as it was last Monday. The coarser kind of goods continue to be yet most in demand, at prices some what similar to those of last week. The wool market has been dull, and but little business done at any price, At a very recent meeting of the principal proprietors of the coaches, it was resolved to adopt the railway from Basing stoke, for completing the journey from the west of England to the metropolis, from and after the 17th instant.— Western Luminary. MR. PATERNOSTER.—Mr. Richard Paternoster, whose recent seizure and confinement as an insane person have excited so much interest in London, has, after a full investi gation of the circumstances by the Metropolitan Commis sioners in Lunacy (set on foot immediately upon their being made acquainted with the fact), after a detention of six weeks in Mr. Finch's Lunatic Asylum, at Kensington, been released. THE Nsw Elousas OF PARLIAMENT.—The inquiry which was committed to Mr. Barry, Mr. De la Beche, and others, as to the stone to be employed in the erection of the new houses of parliament, is at length closed, and specimens ci • lected, received from quarries in nearly every: part of kingdom. Some time, however, must elapse before the par ticular kind is fixed on, as the specimens are to form the subject of a careful examination and analysis in London. It appears that the directors of the Eastern Counties rail way, and those of the Northern and Eastern, have nearly . colicludeda negociation, by which they_will boih have a CO mon terminus it Shoreditch. The land for the purpose is in possession of the Eastern Counties Company, and the direc tors of the Northern and Eastern will pay a proportionate sum.—Esser Herald. STRANGE DUEL.--A deplorable occurrence took place at Apt, in the Vancluse, a few days ago. Two old men, the one aged SO, and the other 70, had quarrelled, and resolved to fight a duel. They went without any seconds into a distant field, and, after a sharp contest with swords, one of them fell mortally wounded. Some children, who were near, ran to the town to give the alarm, and the survivor was soon after arrested. INFANTICIDE IN FRANCE.—The number of infanticides and desertions of new-born children seems to be increasing every day. A few evenings since, a female infant, not three months old, was found in an unfinished house in the rue des Martyrs. Some passers-by, attracted by its cries, took it up, and conveyed it to the commissary of police of the quarter. On the following morning the dead body of a new-born child, wrapped in cloth, was discovered under a tree in the Alice de s Veuves, Champs Elysees. INCREASE OF BELFAST.—There are, at present, in course of erection, or ready for occupancy, in Belfast and its su burbs, upwards of 120 dwelling houses, many of them of the first class, exclusive of several large stores for the provision and other trades, and two extensive weaving factories. Bel fast, within the last twenty years, has not only doubled its population, but its extent—a rapidity of increase not sur passed, if equalled, by any other town in the united king dom.—Northern Whiy. STATE OF TaAnE.—The yarn market continues so ex ceedingly depressed that the spinners who reel for exportation are generally talking of working short time; and it is un derstood that a number of extensive firms in Manchester and the immediate neighbourhood, will cease to light up their factories after the present week; a plan, which, if generally adopted, will cause a considerable diminution in the quantity of yarn produced. The demand for goods is also limited, and prices rather lower than last week.—Man. Guardian. INTERESTING GEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY.—A complete specimen of the Mastodon, in a reclined position, was lately found near Busiris, Crawford County Court House, from five to seven feet under the surface of the ground in the Ohio. The account published in the Crauford County Republican Eztra, August 14, says :—" This is the only instance in which the skull of the :Mastodon has been found in a state of preservation, and it furnishes the only specimen from which correct ideas can be obtained respecting that massive and singularly shaped organ." GENERAL. POST OFFICE, LONDON.—NEW ARRANGE MENTs.—The following order has just been issued from the General Post Office morning mails are now de spatched from London at 10 o'clock, a. m. The letter boxes at the branch offices, Charing-cross, Yore-street, arid the Borough, will he open for the reception of newspapers until half-past 8 o'clock, and for letters until 9, At the General Post Office, and the branch office in Lombard-street, the boxes will close fur newspapers at 9a. in., and for letters at a quarter before 10 a.m.—AV. I. MABERLEY, Sec. DERRY OPERATIVE CONSERVATIVE SOCIETY.—The first annual dinner of this newly organized and fast-increasing society, was held last evening (Tuesday), at the Fox and Owl Inn, in this town. The company, which consisted of more than 100 individuals, occupied two long tables, Thomas Bur roughs: Esq., surrounded by several other gentlemen of the town, officiating as chairman. The evening was passed in the greatest order, regularity, and good humour, giving the hest promise of the society becoming an important auxiliary to the Conservative cause in this town.—Derby Mercury AN AWFUL INSTANCE OF MORTALITY.—On Thursday morning last, at Doddiscombsleigh, Mr. J. Jones, a pig-killer in the neighbourhood, went to a neighbour's house to pursue his deadly avocations, and just as he had p er f o r me d t h e ope ration of sticking his bleeding victim, he fell backwards, and ere the life of the pig was extinct, the butcher had ceased to breathe. The deceased was above 50 years of age, and prior to this awful event was in perfect health. He was a very industrious and useful man.—Exeter Post. RACING EXTRAORDINARY.—The following incident, which occurred last week, at the Isle of Wight races, would seem to show that there is no cruelty in horse racing, but that the noble animal enjoys winning the race quite as much as his owner. During the race for the Hunters Stakes, Mr. Smith, °tie of the stewaids, had given his horse to a lad to hold as the horses w ere s t art i ng . Th ey h a d got about 200 yards when Al • Smith's horse broke from the lad, and followed them without a rider—kept the course without cutting off any of the corners, passed both the running horses, and actually came in first, amid s t th e s h ou t s o f t h e surrounding spectators, - - CURIOUS EXECUTION IN FRANCE. — Carmino Rosso, a Nea politaa tinker, who committed a bartwous murder in January, at Draguignan, on the person of an ex-friar, named True, was executed a few days s►nce in that town. The last penalty °f the law had not for many years been carried into effect at Dragniznan, and on this occasion the execution was attended With peculiarly horrible circumstances. The knife of• the auillqine not being sufficiently sharp, descended three dif ferent times en the neck of the culprit without severing his head from his body, and one of the executioners was in the end actually obliged to perform his fatal office with the aid of eutl.ass. FLUMMERY.—CA USE AND EFFECT.—Robert Owen gave a lecture on his social system on Monday, after which a gen tleman asked him how he happened to become the only rational being;" he, as well as others, having been sur rounded by "circumstances which made all the world irra tional." Mr. Owen said that, in his anxiety to go to school, he ate too soon the hot flummery intended for his and the faMily's breakfast, which scalded him internally, and laid ?kint up; during his illness he reflected, and read much, form lug hts own views, uncontrolled by the lessons of schools. This explanation of reason caused much latighter.//alifax Rxpret,. Plrescrsr To sum MAJESTV.—A pair of bead-embroidered shoes have been worked by a private lady in this city, with a view of being presented to her Majesty. Immediately on the franc of the shoe, before the instep, is a neat cluster of the loaves of the royal oak, surmounted by the English rose; and • eneircling the foot is a rich wreath, composed of the rose, the thistle and the shamrock—all neatly worked in appropri ately coloured beads. Altogether, they are exceedingly ele 'Cant, and do great credit t o th e t as t e an d i ngenu i ty of t h e ' , arty by whom the embroidery work has been executed. Sir John Campbell has uudertaken to present them to her Ma- Alty.—Soetsman. LARGE CALF.—Such of our readers as attended the late agricultural show at Lytham, will remember that among the valyee exhibited was one of extraordinary size for its' age, be ing only thirteen weeks old. To such of them, then, as may ,have speculated opinions as to the weight of this calf, it may be interesting to learn that when cut up, on Saturday last, it w PiOaed 691hs. a quarter, a greater weight, we understand, than airy calf slaughtered in Preston for many years past, With the exception of one that was bred by Captain Smith, and killed by Mr. James Clayton. The Lytham calf was bred by Mr. William Fair, of Lytham Moss-side, and was n_tircliiised by Mr. John Turner, butcher, of Avenhatn-lane, P reaton.—Pre,too /Tot. Owcisism oa INFIDELITY REFUTED.—On Monday even tag last, the free grammar school, at Middleton, was crowded t 4 excess, with persons from various religious denominations, 'anngst the rest were several Clergymen and Ministers of elissoating parties. Mr. Eashy nave an address against the Principles of Owenism, after which a discussion took place. 11 /..

ENORMOUS Ent.—The Berwick Advertiser says—This week there was caught in our neighbourhood a fish of the above species, which measured six feet three inches in length, 18 inches circumference, and weighed two stones three pounds and a half. The skin is now about being stuffed. NEW MAIL-COACH.—A new mail-carriage has just been put on the Strasburg road by way of trial. It is light and commodious, being formed as a coupe, with side and front windows, and a seat for the courier behind. Upon this seat, and in front of the vehicle,are boxes to receive the letter-bags, and, we believe, the luggage of the passengers, as their does not appear to he any imperial. There are two lamps outside, and a third which throws light into the interior. Mtnacutous ESCAPE.—On Monday last, as Richard Cay,gill, a workman in the employ of Mr. 'l"curnbull, of Whitby, watch maker, was cleaning a double barrelled gun, one of the barrels of which had been left loaded or charged, having the screwing rod in the barrel, and there being no admittance for the air he lifted the hammer up, at which the gun discharged immediately, his hand at the moment being on the screwing rod; the rod was blown - to atoms, and the splinters, which flew in all directions, very narrowly missed him, and he fortunately escaped entirely uninjured.— Leeds Intelliyenccr. COACH ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday last, about noon, as the Eclipse Manchester and Hull coach, very heavily laden, was passing down Dewsbury, on its route to Hull, the fore axle' broke very near the - middle, and threw the coachman and passengers upon the pavement, by which Mr. Aaron Halmshaw, blacksmith, of Lake Loch, near Wakefield, had his leg dreadfully broken by a heavy trunk falling from the top of the coach upon him; he was carried to the Hope and Anchor Inn, Dewsbury, where he now lies iu rather a pre carious state. Three other persons, who were slightly in jured, proceeded on their journey. The coachman and other passengers were uninjured. —Manchester Guardian. MR. DUNN, THE IRISH BARRISTER.—This gentleman' who has lately been somewhat unpleasantly before the public as the troublesome suitor of Miss Burdett Coutts, has been committed to York Castle by the bench of magistrates at Knaresborough, for a breach of the peace, and refusing to find sureties. He will be detained until the West Riding Sessions, which commence at Knaresborough on the 16th October. Ile is a fine-looking young man, of good address, and, genteel appearance. Since the transaction at Harrow gate he has written a letter to Sir Francis Burdett, and after stating his intentions to be honourable, and his love the most ardent, concludes by expressing no doubt that at length he will come off with flying colours. In the castle he is sub jected to the same treatment as prisoners on a charge of fe lony, and we presume this will bring the hot-headed lover to his right mind. A PRISONER KILLED ON A TREADMILL—OD Wednes day a young man named George Lordon, a prisoner in the Shropshire county gaol, was working with the other pri soners on the treadmill, when the lever held by a man ad joining the prisoner was unhooked by a convict named Johnson, and a blow was made at deceased by a prisoner. Lordon suddenly turned aside to avoid the blow reaching him, whe❑ he was caught between the lever and the wall, and so dreadfully squeezed that he died on the following Friday from inflammation in the bowels caused by the in jury he had received. At the inquest the jury thought that Cahill, the man who struck the blow, was implicated in Lordon's death, but ultimately came to a resolution to re turn a verdict of accidental death, with a deodand of 10s. on the treadmill The deceased was committed fur vagrancy. —Salopian Journal. NOVEL FIGHT.—On Monday night last, one of the chie f authorities of Dewsbury having occasion to go through the yard of the most celebrated of our Dewsbury inns, i. e. the Man and Saddle, was alarmed by hearing cries for help issuing from the brewhouse: he proceeded there and found one of mine hosts' regular customers, who had been indul ging in deep potations of nut brown ale, laid upon his back, loudly crying for help, and requesting some one to fake his - opponent away, stating he had never before been used so. ill, at the same time using his fists with great dexterity ; the worthy conservator of the peace seeing at a glance how matters stood, summoned assistance from the house, and re leased the Bacchanalian knight from his adversary, which proved to be, not mortal man or ghostly foe, but a large sack of malt, which by some means or other he contrived to pull upon himself in endeavouring to get out of a place which he could have had no business to enter; after, his release he begged to have another drop, remarking he liked the spi much better than the body of the malt LATIN AND LABOUR.—The following anecdote was related by the late John Adams, (ot one time president of the United States,) even to the last days of his life, with all that good humour which was so characteristic of him, and, it is pre sumed, has not vet passed away from the minds of many who have heard it from his own lips; a few only of his strong expressions are remembered;—" When I was a boy, I had to study the Latin grammar; but it was (lull, and I hated My father was anxious to send me to college, and therefore I studied the grammar till I could bear with it no longer; and, going to my father, I told him I did not like study, and asked for some other employment. It was opposing his wishes, and he was quick in his answer. • Well, John, said he, • if Latin gramm ar d oes no t su i t you, vou ma y t ry ditch ing, perhaps that will; my meadow yonder needs—a ditch, and you may put by Latin, and try that.' Phis seemed a delightful change, and to the meadow I went. But 1 soon found ditching harder than Latin, and the first forenoon was the longest I ever experienced. That day I ate the bread of labour, and glad was I when night came on. That night I made some comparison between Latin grammar and ditch ing, but said not a word about it. I dug the next forenoon, and wanted to return to Latin at dinner, but it was humilia ting, and I could not do it. At night toil conquered pride, and I told my father (one of the severest trials of my life) that, if he chose, I would go back to Latin -grammar. He was glad of it; and if I have since gained any distinction, it has been owing to the two days' labour in that abominable ditch."—Salem Gazette. EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT.—OD Wednesday last, as Mr. Charles Hunt, traveller to Messrs. Clench and Co,. wine merchants of Exeter, was engaged on business atthe Lobster Inn, near 'l'eignmouth, the horse, with a gig, which had been left :it the door, took fright, supposed to have been stung by a wasp, and plunged at a gate leading to the court-yard. This it dragged, 'together with a cart with which it came in contact, over a hedge into an adjoining field, and con tinued running at a frightful rate, passing over large heaps of culla and limestone, by which at length the cart was up set, and the gate thrown off. The horse, with the gig attach ed, passed on to a cliff on the seashore, upwards of a hundred feet high, over which abounded with the utmost speed. Mr. Hunt, with other persons, followed, but, in consequence of the precipice being perpendicular, were obliged to take the course of what is called Smuggler's Lane, to, come to the foot of the cliff, where they expected to find the shattered remains of the horse and gig. To their surprise, however, on coming to the spot neither horse nor gig were there; on looking up, they saw the gig about 50 feet from the summit, caught in a tree, and the horse actually suspended in the air by the harness. They then adopted means fur rescuing , the ' horse, by attaching a rope from the top of the cliff round the neck, freeing it from the harness, and lowering it to the shore. Strange to say, the horse received scarcely any injury; the gig was broken to pieces. The greatest praise is due to two gentlemen, Messrs. Lee and Breinridge, fur their prompt assistance.—Exeter Flying Post. CLERICAL. Pr,u Eta mus.:—Every parochial clergyman throughout the kingdom has within the last week or. two re ceived from government a copy of "An act to abridge the holding Benefices in Plurality, and to make better provision for the residence of the Clergy," passed 14th August, 1838. This bill, fifty-four pages, contains no less than one hundred and thirty-three clauses, and many of them extremely strin— gent in their provisions and enactments. Not more than two preferments can be held in future by the same person, under any circumstances, whether in Cathedral or Collegiate Churches, 'or Rural Beneffres—nor two Benefices unless within ten statute miles of each other; and then under limi tations as to amount in value and population. Accepting preferment contrary to this act vacates any Benefice a cler gyman may have previously been in possession of, and ren ders it ipso facto void. Licenses, whether for non-residence, or for curates, are made much more strict and binding in the present bill than in any formereacclesiastical law ; and a more summary power is vested in the Bishops, for enforcing obedience and compliance. The power of Bishops for mort gaging the glebe of any vacant benefice in their Diocese, to build a Parsonage House, may be called arbitrary indeed— While their legal authority over the clergy generally is greatly increased. Whether these stringent provisions may be for good or for evil to the church, time must prove. La VoLEutt MALGRE Lut.—The proprietor of a. small house in the Hue du Haut Moulin, in the cite. occupied the upper part, and let the two lower stori es t o different tenants. aving from time to time lost various valuable articles be longing to him, he began to fear that he was unfortunate in his choice of tenants, and even at length entertained suspi cions of his own brother, who was one of them. To accuse his relative without proof would, he justly felt, bring dishonor upon himself, and he therefore kindly gave him notice, not many days since, to quit. In the mean time he set a species of trap in the place where he kept his plate, so contrived that any hand which might attempt to steal it would be caught in the act, and the thief held fast. The night before the brother was to remove, he was awakened by the cries of the suspicious proprietor, and, hastening up to his apartment, found him caught in his own snare, his hand grasping a silver fork and spoon. On investigation it was ascertained that the pro ,prietor was the only perpetrator of the several robberies upon himself, which he had committed in a state of somnambulism; for, on being afterwards watched by his brother, he was seen, * While in his sleep, to get up, take his own watch, and go with it to the common sewer, into which he threw it. On search ing the place the following (lay for the watch, all the missing • articles were found in the same receptacle.—Galignanes Messinger. DREADFUL COACH ACCIDENT AT SOUTH QUEENS -FERRY, SCOTLAND.—Yesterday, about one o'clock afternoon, whilst the Coburg coach, on its way from Perth to Edinburgh, was receiving the passengers and luggage from the steamer, at Newwhalls Pier, South Queensferry, the leader suddenly wheeled round; and, notwithstanding that the. guard and coachman, who were then busy stowing the luggage, were al most instantly at th e i r h ea d, ass i s t e d by M r . George Mitchell, of the Newhalls Inn, both the coach and the horses were sod. denly precipitated over the quay. Some of the outside pas sengers escaped by throwing them on the pier; but those in the inside were less fortunate. The inside passengers were; Mr. Ellis, Reyal Terrace, Edinburgh ; rs. Captain M‘Duff; Miss M`Duff, a girl about thirteen years of age; and an el derly female, servant to Mrs. M'lluff. The coach having fallen into the sea on its side, Mrs. M`Duff and Mr. Ellis managed to get their heads thrust out of the window above the water, until extricated from their perilous situation by Robert Beveridge, the engineer of the ferry steamer. The other two, Miss M•Duff and the servant, were, we regre t t o state, taken out entirely lifeless. The only outside passen ger who kept his place on the coach until it was precipitated into the water, was pitched into the sea a considerable dis tance, but fortunately saved himself by swimming ashore. The pole having broken, the leading horses were saved; but the two wheel horses were drowned. Captain M`Duff,• and other members of his family, were passengers by the same coach, but had not taken their seats when the accident occur red The melancholy result is entirely attributable to the dangerous practice, recently introduced, of loading th e coac h on the quay instead of at the inn as formerly, and at the same time leaving the horses' heads unattended.—Seotsniaa. CAUTION TO ENGINEERS.—About two years since, Mr. Hind, well known in London as an engineer and builder of several gas-works. and who was an assistant of the late cele brated Mr. Windsor, was induced by the Russian govern ment to go over to St. Petersburg to erect and superintend the imperial gas-works then about to be established, at a salary of £BOO per annum. One year's salary was paid him in advance, by way of outfit; and he soon afterwards sent for his wife and family, who joined him. In this country there are certain perquisites belonging to the engineers of such establishments. among st which is the superabundant „ quantity Of rough lead cut from.off the pipes where they are joined. These cuttings in larg e works amount to a consi derable quantity, and M r . H, considering that he would be entitled to the same perquisites in Russia as in England, sold the cuttings; for which it is understood by his friends that he• has been banished to Siberia. The circumstance has attracted considerable attention with scientific media nics in London, as great inducements are now held out by the Russian government for intelligent individuals to settle in that country. We understand that the directors of the Equitable Gas Company, whose works Mr. - Hind erected at Vauxhall, have, with a laudable spirit reflecting great credit upon them, presented a memorial to the Russian Ambassa dor at our court, to request that he will cause an inquio to be made on the subject of the painful banishment of this in dividual to Siberia. Mr. Hind was well known and highly respected in the profession ; and the Independent Gas works at Haggerstone, so celebrated for commodiousness, were amongst those erected by him. He has also established many of the first companies in the metropolis, and several provincial towns and cities of England. Fresh accounts are looked for anxiously by his friends; but it is feared thdt the reporeof his banishment to the. desolate climes of - Siberia is but ton true,—Chroniglef FRIDAY MORNING, 007'. 12, 1838. The Publication of the STANDARD commenced this morning at 5 o'clock. THE REVENUE.—The abstract of the ol• the re venue for the quarter ending on Wednesday last h as been published. It exhibits a slight improvement, both as regards the preceding quarter, and the precediDg year. On the year the total increase amounts to £74:1,045 ; —on the quarter the increase amounts to £655,910. The customs show an increase on the year of £450,675, and on the quarter of £33,155. The excise show a de crease on the year of £179,450, and an increase on the quarter :of £388,492. The stamps show an :increase on the year of. £174,922, and on the quarter of £129,224 The taxes show a decrease on theyear of £46,223, and an increase on the quarter of £19,953. From 'the post office there has been derived an increased revenue, on the year of £45,257, and the decrease on the quarter is £8,006. The crown lands have yielded an increase on the year of £140,000, and on the quarter of £65,000. The miscellaneous receipts have increased 4on the year £146, and on the quarter £5,675. On this statement the Morning Herald of yesterday has the following remarks:— It must be ,borne in mind, however, that this im • provement in the state of the revenue is an improve. ment, only relatively to the two preceding years—the most disastrous, almost, in the history of English finance. On these two years, as compared with those which preceded them, there was a decline in the income of the country, to the extent of nearly .E 3.000,000. And, although, during the last quarter, things have mended a little ;—yet the slight incren,se will be found by no means adequate to meet the greatly increased outlay of public money consequent on. the Canadian rebellion, and other emergencies of the public service. "There is one important fact embodied in'the abstract of the revenue just published—important, in so far as it illustrates the influence of whig principles of govern ment on the condition of the labouring poor. There was, last year, a marked decline in the national income derived from exciseable articles ;—and this year, despite the slight improvement in other departments,there ap pears a hither decline in the excise returns. Our financial documents supply no other test so decisive as to the measure of the poor man's enjoyments. The result before us is quite in accordance with the genius of whiggery. The march of 'reform' has gradually and regularly lessened the labourer's comforts." THE REGISTRATIONS.—THEI progress of the re7gis trations continues to be favourable to the conservative cause. There is scarcely a solitary exception to be made to this satisfactory statement, although the iiibe- Tals have been endeavouring, by the creation of faggot. voters, to swamp the genuine constituency of the country. Thanks to the vigilance of the conservative agents, their nefarious schemes have been, in most in stances, completely frustrated. The progress of con servative principles in the county of Middlesex is of the most encouraging character, and ought to stimu late to increased zeal, energy, and activity in the de-- fence of our glorious constitution in church and state.. From the statement which - we subjoin, and to wh'c't we refer our readers with feelings of exultation, it will be perceived that the radical faction have no chance or dividing the representation of Middlesex in future_ The following we extract from the London journals : PROGRESS OF CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLE IN MIDDLESEX.

But as, in this class, there would still remain a considerable number of doubtful' or unknown,' it is thought best not at present to introduce them into the calculation. As far as answers have yet been received, the rltopor. tion of the Conservative claimants of the present year to the Radicals appears to be as 5 to 2." We are also glad to learn, from the Dublin Evening Mail, that the Irish metropolitan county is also "quite safe." Thus fortified in our hopes of success on all sides, we do not, for a moment, dread the occur rence of a general election, come whenever it may. The result of another appeal to the people would prove the downfal of the Melbourne-O'Connell ministry, Their doom has been long since irrevocably fixed. THE PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION.—The Liverpool Journal, the especial organ of the Papists of this town, though not the most Papistical in its character, in an article as vulgar and as scurrilous as ever dis graced the columns of the most degraded among the unstamped publications of that sink of iniquity, the metropolis, has ventured to attack the speakers and to pour contempt upon the proceedings of the late meet• ing, at the Amphitheatre, of the Protestant Association. We feel confident that no one, possessing the feelings of a gentleman, or entertaining any regard for the usages of civilized life, could possibly envy the repu tation of a writer who, in the plenitude of his conceit and self-sufficiency, has the hardihood to compare the Protestant meeting to the assemblage of beasts in the Old Infirmary ground. Is the author of this scandal ous outrage upon public decency—this audacious in sult to the understandings,and even (het:amnion sense of his readers—is the perpetrator of the mass of ab surdities to which we allude really aware of the cha racter of the meeting which he strives to turn into ri dicule ? Can he. be, indeed, ignorant that, among the 'thou:sands who thronged the Amphitheatre on Thurs day last, there were to be found some hundreds . of the most respectable merchants and professional men in this neighbour' hood ? Is he ignoravt also of the fact that consideral )1y above the half of that vast assem blage was composed of the most lovely, the niost vir tuous, and the. most religious of the ladies of Liver pool? The evidence of his own eyes might havecon vinced him at least of the loveliness of the audience which he so ungallantly compares to an assemblage of beasts " bellowing and braying." What will the mo dest wives and daughters who graced the proceedings of the day with their presence say to a writer who designates therm as "a collection of animals much more noisy, and scarcely more rational" than the "beasts" at the agricultural show ? Would this Po pish scribe have employed such terms in describing a meeting differently constituted—a meet'ing of the filthy, degraded, and demoralised Irish Papists of the town? We trow not. Such an assemblage, reeking from the contamination of the confession-vooi and the gin shop, and scandalising public decorum by their yells and execrations, would be prono , uncecl as the most orderly that could be conceived. :13tit a meeting, chiefly composed of the ladies and genikmen of Liver pool, simply because they happen to be Protestants, are declared, in spite of theirpeaceable and orderly demeanour, to he "deficient in decency and good manners." Let this calumniator stand forth and ad duce a single instance of indecency or bad manners in connection with the meeting on Thursday. We defy him to substantiate his sweeping-charge. In attempt ing to do so we would have him to reflect that his in discriminate condemnation of the audience applies to nearly three thousand of the must respectable females in Liverpool. Has he any evidimce to prove that MO/ were guilty of indecent conduc t, or of infringing the laws of good manners ? If he has not, to whom do his observations apply ? The Journal characterises t .he meeting of the Pro testant Association as an " li.nti-Catholic" meeting. It was no such thing. The Protestant Association does not acknowledge the titl e of the Chinch of Rome to the assumption of the term. " catholic:* The meet ing was an " Anti Popish" meeting. It was a meet ing to expose the frauds, to attack the heresies, and to expose the abominations of the fore-doomed GREAT APOSTACY. It was a meeting in defence of the " ca tholic truth," from which the apostate: Church of Rome has departed. The Journal acknowledges that the Amphitheatre was " pretty nearly filled;" but fal!,ely asserts that the audience was composed of " foolis h women and igno rant children, and a sprinkling oC yet more foolish and ignorant men." Of what modest assurance is this writer possessed! How gallant - to the fair sex! How superciliously confident in his o wn superior sense and discernment! Has it never occ erred to him that some persons might be apt to reckon him as an item in the account of the " more foolish and ignorant men" who were present at the meeting, lo cavil at what they did not understand ? Has it never occurred to him, that many of the " foolish women and ignorant children," who were present, could afford to look down with pity on his own consummate dulness ? Let it suffice the writer in the Journal to be told—and we tell it with every confidence in the truth of our assertion— there were hundreds present at the Amphitheatre, ex clusive of the clergymen on the platform, with whom • it would be almost an insult to common sense to coin pare the author of the drivelling nonsense, upon whicl we are compelled to bestow our notice. The Journal says that the " Vast year, and the year before, these meetings were of some importance," and most oddly assigns as a reason, that " the endowment affair was then proceeding !" What imaginable con nection could there be between the endowment ques tion and the exposition of theerrors of Popery ? The objects of the Protestant AssoCiation are of a general, and not of a local character, and, therefore, the endow- ment question, which involved no general principle, could not confer any "importance" on the proceedings at its meetings•: The " school question" was of a dif ferent character. That subject is intimately connected with the secret workings and machinations of the Po pish system, and was, therefore, very properly intro . . _ duced into the discussions of the Protestant Associa• The Journal seems to assume the character of an arbiter in the matters of "decency and good manners," and yet ventures to designate the Rev. Messrs. Gregg, M‘Neile, Ralph, and M‘Ghee, as "two Irish vagrants, and an Irish and a Scotch interloper." Our readers need not be informed that the Journal employs this singularly elegant and polite phraseology to four of the most gifted, eloquent, pious, and laborious clergy men in the British dominions, each of whom possesses " more learning in his little finger " than this Popish " interloper" does in his whole body. On what authority does the Journal assert that " the speeches abounded with filth and folly ?" We have already furnished the public with a copious report of the speeches. In which of them does the Journal dis cover " filth and folly ? We can recognise no such in gredients, excepting, indeed, they are to be found in the extracts read from various Popish publications. If the Journal alludes to these, it is quite welcome ; but we do not agree with him that they have " lost all claim to attention on the score of novelty." The " filth and folly" of the apostate Church of Rome are so identified with its doctrinal system, and so amalga mated with its demoralizing discipline, that it becomes the imperative, but painful, duty of every lover of wis dom and purity to expose them to the reprobation of mankind. We can well appreciate the soreness of the Papists on the subject of the " filth and.folly" of Peter Dens, and the oilier casuists of the Church of Rome ; but it is taking rat h er too great a liberty whir truth, to impute these abominations to those who are so se dulously engaged in denouncing them. If it be an act of impropriety in Protestant clergymen to allude in the most delicate manner to this " filth and folly," what must be the degree of criminality attached to the authors who have laboured so diligently in their pro pagation ? get the Journal answer. The Journal accuses the speakers at the Protestant meeting of slandering the Irish Papists, their clergy, and their religion. If truth be a slander, we acknow_ ledge that the charge is well-founded. Let the Jour nal prove that the Popish priests have been otherwise than thus slandered, Is "to rave about the beast in the Revelations" to be considered as a slander upon the Church of Rome ? If so, the more of such slan der we have the better; but let us not call it "rav ing," for that would imply a censure upon the Bible _ The Journal jumps too hastily to a conclusion when takes it for granted that the •' attacks" of the Pro- testant Association " have ceased to have political im portance." We beg to assure the Journal that he could not be guilty of a more unfounded assumption. The labours of the Protestant Association have con tributed far more signally to further the conservative reaction, now making such triumphant progress through the length and breadth of the land, than the most eloquent speeches delivered within or without the walls of the houses of Parliament on merely political topics. The missionaries of this associa- tion have been successful in opening the eyes of the British public to the dangers which surrouni the best interests of the country—to the wily machinations of the Jesuits—to the " filth and folly" which are infused into the mass of the population through the teachings of the Popish priests— to the foul and monstrous per jury which stalks unblushingly in the very legislature —and to the inevitable ruin and national calamities which are the bitter fruits of Popish ascendancy. This is the true se cre t o f th e hostility man if ested by the ra dical, Popish, and infidel press against the operations of the Protestant Association. Hence arises the con tumely with which such men as the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, the Rev. T. D. Gregg, the Rev. Dr. Sullivan, and the Rev. R. G. M'Ghee areloaded by the republican press. We . would particularly wish to impress upon the minds of our readers that the most effectual method of stirring up the people to a sense of the danger to which the time-reverend institutions of our county are ex posed, is to promote the Protestant reaction now in progress. Conservative reaction will always follow in the wake of Protestant reaction. The latter is a deeper and more abiding sort of thing—a stronger im pulse—a more powerful feeling. O'Connell has set up the "Repeal of the Union," meaning therebY Po pish Ascendancy, as his ultima ratio. Let PROTESTANT ASCENDANCY, then, be our ultima ratio. In this lies our only security against national perdition. This will procure for us honest, wise, and Christian legisla tors. This will avert from us the judgments denouced against " the followers of the, beast that sitteth upon seven bills." - The Journal talks of the "stale prosing of 111`Ghee," and "the equally stale ranting of WNeile," We pre sure that no speeiesof prosing or ranting would prove more unacceptable in the eyes of the editor of the Jour nel than the quotations fram scripture which the speak , ers at the meetings of the Protestant Association so provokingly introduce in their addresses to the public. To the Papist there is nothing so "stale" and unwel come as the palpable denunciations in the scriptures of the Church of which he is a member. The miserable perversions, and the pitiable suppres sions of 'truth, of which the Journal is guilty, while animadverting on. an isolated passage in the speech delivered by the Rev. T. D. Gregg, we consider en tirely unworthy of notice. The sophistries to which the Journal resorts are too transparent to deceive the most ignorant of his readers. The Live'poet Times has also indulged in some lengthy and prosing remarks 6n the proceedings of Thursday last. To these we shall address ourselves on Tuesday, THE WAREHOUSE QUESTION.—We are compelled to defer our observations on the proceedings in the Town Council on this question until Tuesday next, when we shall examine it in all its bearings. In the mean time we congratulate the - public upon the tri umphant issue of the division which took place. No doubt our sage councillors, or at least some of them, were influenced in their decision by a wholesome dread of the ordeal through which they will have to pass on the first of November. However, we must add that the present adVantage over the foe is no secu rity against any future attack. The monopolising monster is only scotched —not killed. Our friends must be on the alert, especially between this and the first of next month, when the liberals will be once more put upon their trial. THEATRE-ROYAL, LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL MEDICAL INSTITUTION • THE LADIES' BAZAAR. t I The ladies' bazaar, in aid of the pecuniary resources of this useful and valuable institution, bids fair to be eminently .• successful. From present appearances, we have no doubt whatever that the object which it was designed to accomplish, viz., the raising a sufficient fund to liquidate the debt which has hitherto pressed heavily upon the interests, and crippled or restrained the energies of the institution, will be realized. The bazarr was opened on Wednesday morning at eleven o'clock, in the new building at the corner of Hope-street, Mount-pleasant, and was attended by a great Proportion of the beauty and fashion of Liverpool, down to four o'clock in the afternoon, when the exhibition closed for the day, to be re-opened yesterday, and to he continued until the whole of the articles, furnished by the industry and ingenuity of the fair contributors, have been disposed of. We hope, and, in deed, have no fear, that they will be sold to advantage. In the entrance hall was stationed Mr. Stubbs's Royal Harmonic Band, who performed at intervals select pieces from the most popular works of ancient and Modern, native and foreign composers. The staircase, by which access is gained to the exhibition rooms, was handsomely . decorated with evergreens and dahlias of an infinite variety of tint, and had a very pleasing and animated appearance. The rooms in which the bazaar is holding are three in number, and are those intended fur the Pathological Musetim. They are not so extensive as might have been considered desirable for the purposes of this bazaar, but were fitted up with great neatness and taste. The decorations chiefly con sisted of pink and white draperies, dahlias and evergreens, very prettily arranged, with two large crimson silk flags in the centre room, on which appeared the gratifying inscrip tions—" The Town and Trade of Liverpool," and " God save the Queen." There were three tables in the room, and two in the apart ment to the right ; that on the left was devoted to the sale of confectionary, wines, fruits, and other refreshments. A vast variety of useful and of namental articles were submitted, and their claims enforced with that success which female solici tation never fails to command. Standing at the door of the refreshment room and looking to the opposite end, the coup Weil was most magnificent. At the first table, Mrs. Lloyd, of A igburth, presided, with Mrs. 'Pinney, Mrs, James Foster, and Miss Lloyd. The collection which they offered was truly elegant, and com manded universal admiration. Amongst the articles which eye particularly noticed were a beautiful chair with a frame of rosewood and back and seat. of needlework, a par of ottomans, which, we observed, were to be disposed of by lottery, if not sold at the price at which they were ticketed— viz , ten guineas —and an elegant ornament of beetle-work for the hair. Mrs. Jeffreys, of Great George's Square, with Mrs Tay leu re, Miss Green ' and Miss Bridge, h a d c h arge o f the second table. They exhibited a very chastely executed group of wax flowers, a number of beautiful drawings of heads, a foot stool of quite a novel pattern, with the centre of needleork; a screen of needlework, very pretty, representing an old musician teaching a youth to perform on the violin. The figures are admirably pourtrayed. This production, we ob served, is to be raffled for, if .not otherwise disposed of—the price eight guineas. There was on this table also a very in geniously con strutted model of an old gipsy pedlar. The third table was occupied by Mrs. Cheesborough, who was fortunate in having some splended specimens of needle work, amongst numerous other matters of very superior merit. Two sofa pillows, one of them representing a mounted mameluke, and the other Thian's daughter, were superb in the execution, and attracted ninth and deserved admiration, The effect given to the representation of the right hand in the latter picture surpassed anything of the kind we ever witnessed. The next table was under the control of Mrs. Chorlev, of St. Anne-street, and Mrs. Richard Bateson, assisted by Mrs. Ambrose Lace, the Misses Bateson, and Miss Chorley. They produced, for the attraction of customers, some beautiful copies of Prout's interiors, a group of flowers in needlework, intended for a screen, a piece of elegant and valuable em broidery on black' satin, representing a group of various coloured birds; some composition models, received from Warwick, and executed by the only person in England ac quainted I:vith the secret of their mancufacture ; and a port folio containing some very beautiful heads of Jacobo and TereSa. Mrs. Dawson, of Mount Pleasant, had the management of the fifth table, assisted by Mrs. Ross and Miss Jackson. They had a profusion of elegant work of various descriptions. In the centre was a drawing-room chair of r , sewood, inlaid with mother-of-pearl, the seat exhibiting a beautiful group of flowers in needlework. We noticed also two small card board models of Bath Abbey and another place of worship, which had been presented by Mts. Joseph Langton, of Great George-square ; some elegant hand-screens, forwarded by Mrs. Earie, of Spekland ; a superb piece of needlework, in an oak frame, representing an old lady at breakfast, and which would be an excellent companion for the musician at Mrs. Jeffrey's table ; the model of a country school, the minuteness of description being exquisite, and which was ticketed "to be sold with the good will of the concern." This we understand was a part of the donation from Mrs. Higginson. A beautiful drawing, in water colours, of Lake Ogwen, North Wales, by Mrs. Horsfall, of Everton, and part of her donation. A small miniature, the donation of an eminent artist. A view of Point Neuf, in Paris, by Mr. Gawin Heidman, and an admirable lithographic port - rait of Dr. Butter, the president of the institution, by . the same artist. In the rooms were also tables filled with clothing for the poor. _ . The refreshment-room, at the table of which the ladies above•mentioned presided in rotation, was not the least attrac tive portion of the exhibition. there were some delicious grapes, white and black, a portion of them forwarded from Croxteth; peaches and nectarines, chiefly furnished by Mrs. l'reston, of Fir-grove; pine-apples, melons, confectionary of every description, and wines of various qualities, from hum ble port to imperial tokay. There was here a very curious model of a bazaar, construct ed by Miss Morlaud, of Everton-lodge, and the young ladies of her seminary, and being a part of their donation, amount ing to between forty and fifty pounds. This ingenious trifle, for the accommodation of the younger members of the com munity, will be disposed of by lottery—the tickets five shill ings each. We should not omit to mention that Mrs. Ireland Black borne, the lady of the respected member in parliament for Warrington, Mrs. Joseph Langton, and Mrs. Traill occasion. ally assisted all the ladies who were stationed at the various stalls, and delighted the company by their affability. Mrs. Blackburne in particular, we should mention, without mean ing at all to disparage the exertions and the liberality of the other ladies who have lent their countenance and given their active support to this bazaar, has been most indefatigable in her efforts to promote its prosperity, from a just apprecia tion of the Motives for which the institution was formed. The lady patronesses were the Marhcioness of Salisbury, the Countess of Wilton, Lady Francis Sandon, Lady Moly neux, and Mrs. Ireland Blackburne. Lady Frances Sandon kindly contributed some articles of needlework, and his lordship sent a donation of money. A number of other opulent individuals also sent pecuniary do nations. From Mrs. Hugh Jones, of Lark Hill, £25 were received; £2O each from Richard Dawson, Esq. of Mount pleasant; William Fawcett, Esq. of York -street, and Charles Tayleur, Esq. £lolos.. each from \V. W. Manifold, Esq. and Charles W. Jones, Esq. of Vernon-street. .£lO each from W. P. Preston, Esq. Rock-house; Thomas Rodick, Esq., Gateacre; W. Nixon, Esq. Vernon-street; Henry Holmes, Esq.

Jackson; Nicholas R o bi nson, Esq., Sudleigh; Miss Fos ter and Mr. and Miss Lloyd for work sold before the bazaar; and Mrs. Dawson for ditto. £3 each from Lady Clayton, of Larches, near Wigan; Park, Esq., Mount-pleasant; Thomas Foster, Esq., Woollen; John Richardson, Esq., Rodney-street; William Harvey, Esq., Cheapside; Enoch Harvey, Esq., ditto; Thomas Harvey, E s q., ditto; John Robert Preston, Esq., Vernon-street ; Allan Kaye, Esq.; Sir G.

There were many other do. nations of t‘vyguineas and one guinea, and altogether, before the bazaar op‘ned, there had been received somewhere about £4OO. The amount realized from the sales arid collection at the doors during the day we were not able to ascertain, but it must have been considerable, from the interest which the an nouncement of the intention to hold the bazaar had excited amongst the opulent inhabitants of the town and neighbour hood, and the general knowledge that the institution had al ready been of infintte servic e i n seasons o f pe s til en ti a l visita tion amongst the poorer classes. The debt with which the institution is encumbered is stated to be somewhere about £lOOO. and as many handsome donations will vet be forward ed, we have strong hopes that at the close of the bazaar there will be an ample sum in hand for its complete liquidation,— lia;) THE LIVER THEATRE.—The "Great Magician" conti nues to "astonish the natives" night after night, at this de lightful little theatre.

STABBING.—On Tuesday, at the Police-office, R o b er t Geeham was charged w i t h having stabbed Samuel Leeny, iu Great Howard -street, on Thursday last. The prisoner, who is a native of Belfast, has been for some time in the army, and is a pensioner. He was brought up on Friday last, but was remanded both then and on Saturday, in order that the injured man might appear against him. The latter had not been in any danger. The following is the evidence brought forward. Samuel Leeny stated, that he was a la bourer, residing at No. 1, Crown -court, Highfield-street. A few minutes before nine o'clock, on Thursday night last, he was on his way home through Great Howard-street. When he got Opposite the shop of Mr. Scholes, the prisoner ran out of that shop, and without any thing having passed, stabbed him with a large knife in the thigh. The man dropped the knife upon the footway, and afterwards stooped and picked it up. Witness retreated to the middle of the street. The prisoner followed him and held up the knife to stab him again. Witness said, " I have not done anything to vou," upon which the prisoner turned from him and entered the shop. Witness looked for a police-officer, but could not find one. The prisoner left the shop, and witness followed him into Barton-street, and from thence to Waterloo-road, where he gave him into the custody of constable John Charlton. Witness further stated, that the prisoner was a stranger to him, and he had not had any quarrel with him. Mr. M•Cartney, surgeon, Oldhall street, examined the wound and dressed it. The wound bled very much. His stockings were saturated with blood. His coat, trowsers, stockings and drawers. were cut through. Witness remained very ill. Joseph Threlfali, a shop-boy with Mr. Scholes, 45, Great Howard -street, stated, that he was in the shop a few minutes before nine o'clock on Thursday night last, when the pri soner, Robert Geeham, entered, and walked up to the coun ter where 'a large shop knife lay. Without saying a word, he took up the knife and ran out. He was away two or three minutes, when he returned and threw the knife on the counter. He departed without having spoken. He (wit ness) went to the shop-door,- and the complainant advanced and asked which way he bad gone. Witness t o ld hi m, an d the complainant followed.' Th prisoner was brought back to the shop, and witness identified him. He denied that he was the person. Witness knew him very well, as he dealt with his master. John Charlton stated, that at nine o'clock on Thursday evening, be was on duty at the Waterloo Dock gate, when the witness Leeny gave the prisoner in charge. The wound which the prisoner had inflicted was two inches in length and very deep. It bled very much. The prisoner denied repeatedly that he had stabbed the complainant. The prisoner was a little in liquor. The prisoner in his defence said, on Thursday evening he had taken some drink. He was passing along Great Howard -street, when a number of persons collected round him, and began to jeer him, calling him "Drunken Paddy," and other names. At length they began to throw stoues after hiin. He did not know how lie acted, but he certainly did not see the complainant there, nor was he one of the persons who had offended him. The complainant said, he saw a crowd, but he diverged into the middle of the street to avoid it. Mr. Hall: I shall send him to take his trial.—Prisoner: Allow me to speak three words. Don't send me for trial. If be (the complainant) will forgive me, I'll give him anything; he shall have all I have in the world. I did not i n t en d to have hurt him, for tie never offended me. I'm an old soldier, and my wife is in France. I'll pay anything to the-man till he is well. There's my little bit of 4 house left all to the mercy of the waves—do forgive me, as I hope God will forgive you! Mr. Hall said there were certain persons in Liverpool who were beginning to use the knife on all occasio ns . H e wou ld d o his best to put a stop to it. -Every individ ua l b roug h t b e f ore h i m for this description of offence, he would commit for trial—Pri soner: I was a long time in the army, and I shall lose tnv of pension as sure as can be. He was committed for JUVENILS TRAVELLERS.--On Tuesday, at the Police• office, three lads, each aged above twelve years, were brought before the Magistrates, and it was stated that they had been booked for safety, having been found wandering in the streets on the preceding night. They were all dressed nearly .a like, in dark fustian jackets of peculiar cut. They gave their names as Sampson Thorpe, George Street, and Win. Royals. Mr. Hall : Where do volt come from? Royals took upon himself the office of spokesman. He replied, in a broad Lancashire dialect: We come frae Duckenfield, about seven mile frae Manchesther. Mr. Hall: Why did you come here? Royals : Aw gotten a cousin 1' Learp'l, an' aw coom to seeck him. Mr. Hall: Have you any parents? Royals: Hey? Mr. Hall: Ha ve y ou a f at h er and mother? V Yoi, aw've getten a feyther an' muther too. Mr. Hall: . Did von tell them you were coming? Y o i— aw tou'd 'era aw'd goo an' see cousin, an they said aw anoight ; 'toss yo' see feyther 's f. o' wark. What is your cousin ? He 's a mechanic, an' his ne-am 's Isaac Shakely. Whei:e dcies he work ? Oh, aw donna know —somewhere i' Learp'l, aw reckon; he's wheel-reef. In reply to other questions, Royals said—We started o' Sunday; -we hadna no munmey, butlire walked aw 'th' way to Learp'l. M r . H a ll : Well, now you ha \,e seen Liverpool, and found it very much like Duckenfield— Royals (interrupting): Na, na, it isn't—not a bit. Mr. Hall: Well, you came through Manchester, and it's very like Manchester—will you go back? because you can't be permitted to wander about the streets here. Royals: l'oi, we'll goo back. The other prisoners, on being asked why they had come to Liverpool, replied: Oh, we just coom wi' him for company loike. The Briclewell-keeper said, from what Royals bad told him on the preceding night, it ap peared, that he told his mother he was going to Liverpool, and she replied, in a casual manner, " Well, away with you; but you'll turn back before you've gone far." Royals: Cousin ax'd me to coom when he wor at emu- heawse a good long toime agoo. Mr. Hall: Well, I shall send you back to Manchester, and—Royals (interrupting): We thou't o' gooin' yesterneet, but a chap took us eaut o'th' rooad. Mr. Hall ordered an officer to send them by the first train to Manchester, and to give them a shilling each to provide refreshment on their way to Duckenfield. The prisoners promised, on being let down at Manchester, to proceed di rectly home. CASE OF RUNNING FOUI..—MANAGEMEN T OF FERRY STEAMERS.—On Tuesday, at the Police-office,• the master of one of the Woodside steamers appeared before Mr. Hall, to answer a charge of having, on Friday afternoon. last, behaved in an improper manner in running up to the land ing stage, at George's Pierhead, between the hock Ferry and Monks' Ferry boats. The information was laid under the 73d section of the local act 6 Geo. IV, which empowers a magistrate to inflict a penalty of 40s. for disorderly conduct on the river, or at the landing -steps, &c. William Earle, jun., Esq., stated, that on Friday l as t, about font. o'clock, he was crossing from the other side of the river in the Monks' Ferry steamer. They ran up to the floating Ending -stage, and were about to moor the vessel. There, was another steamer alongside, when they saw the Woodside boat coming up at half speed. They called out to the latter to go to the other side, but, without taking the slightest notice, she (the Woodside boat) was run in smack betvreen the two boats already moored, regardless of any consideration what ever. He (Mr. Earle) considered it a most spiteful proceed ing, and he was confident it was drate on purpose. Those on board the two packets already at the station called out loudly, but to no purpose. He (Mr. Earle,) apprehending a serious shock, sat down and took F. firm hold of something. The Woodside boat ran against the Monks' Ferry boat with sects violence that her bulwarks were crushed in. The Wood side boat was decidedly in fault. The master of the Wood side steamer said, his principal witness Mr. Smithett, wh o commanded one of h er M a j esty ' s packets, and who under stood nautical affairs, was away. The defendant handed a note from Air. Smithett to Mr - . Hall. The magistrate hay ing perused it, said,—Supposing those on board the Monk's Ferry boat had acted improperly, he (the defendant) had no right to risk the safety of the passengers entrusted to his care, by acting improperly also. The captain said. he had given certain orders to his engineer, which were not attended to. So far as we could understand the captain's subsequentstate ment, there was a Dublin steamer lying at anchor in the stream. The Woodside and Monk's Ferry boats were coming op nearly together, having rounded the Dublin steamer at different ends. He (the defendant) was about to bring his vessel up to the southward of the floating stage, thinking the ,er was going to the northward. The Monks' Ferry-tio, wever, he said, suddenly took an easterly turn, aid cu im out. Mr. Earle said, they (the Monks' Ferry-boat; were at the stage several minutes before the other. Their engines were stopped, and they had no means of getting out of the way. There were many persons present, and amongst them Mr. Powell, but as he was one of the directors, he 'night be deemed an interested witness. Mr. Earle called the name of a gentleman who promised to attend and give evidence, but the person did not answer. Mr. Hall thought the captain had almost admitted the charge, when he said the other " took an easterly turn," for it was evident he was angry at him for doing that. 'l'he defendant said, he ordered 'te engineer to reverse, and he did not know why he dis- A. Mr. Hall: - You should have had the engineer here. ,e would have been the best witness you could have had, much better than Mr. S m ith e t t . Mr. Powell, a director of Ihe Monk's Ferry Company, said this was the second or third time this very person, who steered one of the boats belong ing to the Woodside Company, had done the same thing. He had himself remonstrated with him and asked hint how he dared to risk the lives of his passengers in such a manner. There was a great deal of spite amongst the men conducting the different ferry boats, and they thought they might with perfect impunity run against each other, and do as they liked. 'l'hey (the Monks' Ferry Company) had given particular orders to their men to give way on all occasions: A witness was called for the defendant. His testimony was principally to the effect, that the boats were advancing to the landing stage both together. Mr. Earle contradicted this, and re peated his assertion that the Monks' Ferry Witt was up se veral minutes before the other. The gentleman admitted that the tide was running against the Woodside boat, which there w wasuttldha co vehnajderataelleney rivalry to amongst ke the various epherawayh personsealsosaid ~ t t connected hecase w m a e t re ly so ra n r t f a e s rr t i h e e s. pa A s i se r Ug H e a rs il v‘ s • a e i r d ; c h e e nc l o o :n k e e d d .

Mr. Ogden stated that on Tuesday week the prisoner called upon him at his house, and asked if his brother had been there. Witness said he bad. The prisoner said, " Did he say anything about me ?" Witness replied, " No, he only said be wished you to keep sober." 'I he prisoner immediately became very violent: he threatened Mr. Ogden, and said, "I will have vengeance on my biother ; .1 will shoot him ; l'll blow out hi s l i ver and his heart. " Mr. Hall thought if he blew out the last, he would have no occasion to meddle with the first. Another gentleman deposed that he had frequently heard the prisoner threaten that he would blow out his brother's brains. On the day in question, he said he would blow his brother's brains out first, and his own afterwards. Mr. Pennington stated that he was a brewer. His brother had for a long time been a great annoyance to him. He would not work, and spent what money was given to him in drink. So long as funds were forthcoming, he was continually drunk. He (Mr. Pennington) had supplied him with money from time to time, but he was unwilling to en courage him in idleness and dissipatipn. When the prisoner found this he endeavoured to extort money from him, and when he refused, he (the prisoner) said he should not have an opportunity of refusing any more, for he would shoot him. Witness was obliged to get out at the back door, but his brother afterwards waylaid him, and so alarmed him by his conduct that he gave him three sovereigns. He had since then frequently threatened to blow out his (witness's) brains. The prisoner in his defence said he was brought up a pilot. He complained that he had never been put to any better. business, or he should perhaps have done well. Mr. Hall ordered him to find good bail to keep the peace. FALSE STAMPS ON PLATE.—A Scotchman, named Ed wards was on Tuesday placed at the bar of the Police office. Mr. Dowling said he had received directions from the authorities of Glasgow to take the prisoner into custody on a charge of having in that city been a manufadturer of false stamps. Another individual, connected with the pri soner, was in custody in Glasgow for the same offence. The prisoner was apprehended by Ainsworth, to whom he ex plained that he was the servant of the other individual who was charged as his accomplice. He (Mr. Dowling) had written to Glasgow, and expected au answer shortly. The prisoner said he had never been concerned in manufacturing stamps. What he did was done openly. It was merely altering old silver spoons into forks. He bad been in Li verpool about eighteen months, working regularly and pub licly. If he had known that he was wanted in Glasgow, he would have gone there with his family of his own accord, and have faced the charge. On looking over the documentsfrom Glasgow, it app eare d t h at t h e prisoner and his partner or employer, had taken portions of the handles of old silver spoons, with the stamps and silversmiths' mark upon them, welded or joined them'to forks of inferior metal, which thus passed for silver from the Lands - of authorised and respectable manufacturers. —The prisoner was remanded till intelligence is received from Glasgow. danger the lives of Passengers. Let them havelheir rivalry if they thought proper, but they must confine the danger to themselves. Mr. Powell said, as they approached the stage, the Woodside boat was three lengths behind them He hoped the magistrates would proceed in a manner that would put a stop to these dangerous proceedings, whether it were their men or the others : if not, he was certain some melan choly occurrence would be the result. Mr. Hall said, it might be relied upon that every time a captain was brought before him for such offences, he would punish him. If there were feelings of jealousy amongst the captains, the public should not be the sufferers. The captains might throw each 'other into the river if they thought tit, but be repeated, be would not allow the lives of passengers to be . jeopardised. The defendant was fined £2 and costs. A person, who looked like the master of a steamer, said, "There's our damage, sir, if you please," addressing the magistrate. We could not bear whether this individual belonged to the Monks' or Rock Ferry steamer. Mr. Hall said, that makes no part of the case under the present information. I care less about that than the safety of the passengers. Their lives and limbs are of more importance than your vessels, if you choose to run such wanton risks. ASSAULT ON A FEM A LE.—Ou Tuesday at the police-office, Archibald Kelly, a tide-waiter, appeared, accompanied by Mr. Crewe, solicitor, to answer a charge of assault preferred against him by Catherine Jordan, a decent-looking young woman, who stated that she made her livelihood, and sup ported her sick husband, by vending fruit about the docks. The complainant stated, that as she sometimes met with good customers amongst the captains of vessels just returned from sea, who were very fond of oranges and apples, she went, on Friday last, to the King's Dock. She saw tne defendant talking to another person, and she asked hire civilly it he would purchase some fruit. He replied, "How dare such a low creature as you speak to a gentleman like me ?" She answered, that if he were a gentleman he would speak civilly to her, as the first gentlemen in Liverpool gave her at least a civil answer when she accosted them. He told her if she did not be off, he would kick her. She made some reply, when he struck her a Wow on the breast, and, following her up, he beat her with both his fists till she fell, when, as she was lying on the ground, he kicked her several times, in a manner that had left marks on her body. Mr. Crewe ques tioned the complainant at some length. It appeared, from the tenor of his queries, he had been instructed that she was a bad character. He did not, however, elicit anything that tended to encourage such such a suspicion. She said, she was once on the point of throwing something at the defend ant after he had beaten her, but she forbore. John Win chester, a porter, stat e d, that he was working at the King's Dock, for Messrs. Ewart, Myers, & Co. on the day in ques tion. He was getting his dinner when the assault was com mitted, and he saw the whole of it. The complainant pre sented her basket civilly. He did not hear the first words that passed, but almost immediately he saw the defendant strike the girl a violent blow with his fist, and afterwards "run in and strike her right and left, band and foot, till he knocked her prostrate on the ground." This witness (an Irishman) was also questioned at length by Mr. Crewe. He said that she was about to throw some dirt at the defendant ; but he (Winchester) prevented her, and advised her to take the case before a magistrate. After much cross-ques tioning, the witness began to show symptoms of impatience, and made several attempts to bolt from the witness-box. Mr. Hall told him to answer the question to the best of his ability. Mr. Crewe—You say she was knocked down. Witness— Yes. Mr. Crewe—Did she get up again ? Witness--Why if she had not, she would have been dhere still! (Laughter.) Mr. Crewe—l want a proper answer to my questions. Mr. Crewe—Did she get up of herself ? Witness—No, I helped her up. Mr. Crewe—Oh, you ran and helped her up. Wit ness—No, I did'nt, I walked. (Laughter.) Mr. Crewe— Oh, very good, well, when you helped her up, she went away, did she ? Why, it seems you know all about it. Saying this, the witness again left the box amid loud laughter. Matthew Kendall, a shipkeeper, was called as witness for the defendant. He deposed to the complainant having " bothered three Custom-house officers to buy her apples." He said she threw dirt at them when they would not purchase, and just because the def e nda n t pus h e a h er away and struck her a bit, she threw dirt at him. And he never knocked her down at all. On hearing this, the former witness (Winchester) groaned out, "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! An' y ou never was within sight o' dh e motther all dhe time." Kendall said the complainant used a deal of language. Mr. Hall—What was the language, good or bad ? Witness—lt was very in different. Mr. Hall said, he bad not the least doubt but the complainant gave her tongue considerable license after she was attacked, but that the defendant had struck hervVas clear front his own evidence. He thought that, whatever were her character, no man was justified in striking a female in that manner. The defendant was fined £2. and costs. In default of payment he was to be committed fur one month to the House of Correction. WHERE ARE THE WATER CARTS? TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Silt,—The above question was -general throughout the town yesterday, and no wonder, seeing the clouds of dust that were whirled about iu all directions, and not a drop of water from the carts to put down the evil. What are the officers in this department paid for? There is not only the annoyance to pedestrians, but the serious injury to shop keepers, by having heaps of dust blown in upon their goods, ,some of which inust'suffer.

(From a distant county.) JAMAICA STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. OBSERVATIONS ON THE MANAGEMENT AND EXTRAORDINARY LOSSES OF THE JAMAICA STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. Mr. Pinckard, a shareholder and auditor of the above company, has put forth the statements and expositions con tained in this pamphlet, with the view of explaining to the proprietors, as far as practicable, the causes which have led to the failure of the concern, "and to the absolute loss of a serious portion, if not the entire amount, of the paid-up capital." The latter is upwards of .£40,000. The statements put forth by Mr. Pinckard are curious. To all men of busi ness, but especially to the parties who have had money in vested in the concern, they will be deeply interesting. In his introduction, Mr. Pinckard says, "the mania for joint stock companies, of late years, and the too frequent mode cf conducting them by a reckless expenditure and misappli cation of the fends, have, in many instances, entailed ruin on the parties interested; and directors of such companies, by adopting a similar course in their private affairs, would experience a similar result, as well as the lass of character for integrity and veracity : and although they, by the sup pression of their accounts, may keep the proprietors.i❑ ig norance for a time, yet, in the end, snch conduct is sure to be detected, and to meet with the punishment it deserves." The whole business of the Jamaica Steam Navigation Com pany seems to have been conducted in the most extraor dinary manner. The blame, according . to Mr. Pinckard's statement, falls upon the chairman and the secretary, who must have been guilty of the utmost nee igmee, whilst thee were practising. the most reckless expenditure. Mr. Piaci ard lays the whole correspondence between himself and - the two functionaries before the public. As auditor he presumed tie had a right to examine the accounts but this privilege he could not obtain. From the statements contained iu the subsequent report, the repeated refusals do not seem wonder ful, as it is pretty clear that nn regular accounts *ere kept. The ruin of a concern, so conducted, was cettain. For the details which led to this result we must refer our readers to.the pamphlet. - I THEATRICALS. —While Mr. WIZEXHAA , .
