COATS, MATRIMONIAL HOAX. (From the Manchester Advertiser.) A hoax of a rather uncommon description in this staid town of ours, was played off on Thursday last, in St. Ann's-square, on a gentleman from Liverpool, who had caused the insertion of an advertisement in one of the Manchester papers, announcing the wish of the advertiser to meet with a wife with a liberal education, a sum of money, &c., and all answers to be addressed to Mr. Augustus Vivian, Post-office, Liverpool. Suspecting this to emanate from some sharp or designing person, an answer was promptly sent by a young gentleman of this town, who, for the occasion, assumed the aristocratic name of Miss Marianne Montrevor, which met a speedy reply, and after various letters, it was finally arranged that a meeting should take place in St. Ann's-squire, at half-past twelve on the above day. The gentleman was to be distinguished by a white camellia, and the lady by a red geranium. Exact to the time appeared Mr. Augustus Vivian, accompanied by a friend, who, of course, retired. In consequence of a little purposed delay, Mr. Augustus Vivian was necessitated to prome nade the square by himself. He was not, however, idle, but setting out his favour and attempting to find out the lady amid the number which were traversing the trot toir of the square, he was noticed by many, and more particularly from his peculiar manner of noticing them. After being thus engaged for about a quarter of an hour, a young lady, habited in a tartan dress, with a fashionable scarf and bonnet, of tall and elegant figure, but closely veiled, and wearing a scarlet geranium at her bosom, made her appearance, but the bashful Augustus Vivian suffered her to pass him twice before he mustered courage to address her. At length, overcoming her maiden timi dity, the lady encouraged him to approach, but, as if afraid of the crowded numbers in the square, he imme diately withdrew to Half Moon-street, where, while en gaged in several earnest protestations of the sincerity and purity of his motives, a gentleman suddenly ap- 1 proached, seized the young lady, reproached her for the indiscretion which had placed her in her then in delicate position, and calling a cab, hurried her from the scene. This was done thinking that a discovery would be risked, in consequence of a roughness in the young lady's voice, which was not exactly feminine. The gentleman who had interrupted the tele-a•tete also sharply reproved " the gallant gay Lothario" (a gentle man of tall and portly appearance, but of Bardolphian rubicundity in the face) for thus inveigling his relative into a clandestine interview of this description. The would-be benedict declared the honourable character of his intentions, and after some conversation (in which the young lady was described as an orphan of high connections in Scotland, on a visit to this locality, and possessed of considerable property), a futther meeting was appointed for four o'clock, at the young lady's solicitor's, whose office was in street. True to his appointment, the aspirant for wedded bliss appeared, gave the highest references as to his respectability and independent posi tion, and was proceeding into details which rendered it necessary that the hoax must end when the " lady" appeared in propricl personcias a gentleman, accompanied by a large number of triencls. The candidate bore his disappointment with apparent good humour. It was elicited by the young lady from him that he was in search, to use his own words, of " Youth, beauty, quality, virtue, wit, and—shall we add it—money ;" that he had at least a dozen more engagements, and if any were true, we doubt not but that be will at length meet with his match. The two young gentlemen who answered the advertise ment, kindly conducted him to his hotel, in Market street, for the purpose of protecting him against the re marks which might have been passed upon him, by a large body of individuals who bluing, by some means or ..titer, got wind of the affair, stationed themselves outside the solicitor's office, and followed the unlucky adventurer to his above-named temporary abode, and he is now, no doubt, safely lodged at his home in Liverpool. Miss CLARA WEBSTER.—Unfortunately, the death of this accomplished dancer has not been the only evil atten dant upon the late sad accident at Drury-lane Theatre. A nurse of the name of Hudd, supplied on the urgency of the case from the Middlesex Hospital to attend upon Miss Webster, fell down the stairs, and upon ban con veyed back to the hospital was found to have sustained a serious fracture of the knee. IMPROPRIETY OF LINING WELLS WITH BRICKS.— Two or three pieces of common brick were steeped four days in a basinful of distilled water; the water was then decanted off and examined by various chemical tests. It was immiscible with soap, struck a lively green with syrup of violets, was rendered slightly lacteacent by the volatile alkali, and quite milky by the fixed alkali and a so lution of saccharine saturni. This experiment affords a striking proof of the impropriety of lining wells with bricks, which cannot fail of renderine the water hard and unwholesome.—The Builder. A WELSH BIDDING.—For the benefit of such of my readers as have neither seen nor heard a Welsh biddi►;g, I must premise that it is a gathering together of as many of the friends and friends' friends, acquaintances and ac quaintances' acquaintances of the bride and bridegroom, as a number of bidding letters can assemble. Each of these individuals is expected to contribute either a gift or loan of money towards the establishment of the young couple. If a loan, that loan is to be repaid when the lender, or any friend or relation to whom he may transfer it, proposes to enter the holy state. Thus the wedded pair set up in life upon the gifts and loans of their friends, and are liable to be called upon for repayment when they may be totally unprovided with ruoney.—Sketches in South Wales. " INJURED IRELAND !"—The rents paid for land in Ireland are at least one-third less than the rents paid for land in England,—but were it even otherwise, the right to dispose of property to the best advantage could not be by law interfered with. In addition to his rent, the English occupier is subject by law to the payment of tthes, which in many instances amount to more than the entire rent impo•ed on the Irish tenant ; and by recent enactments, the payment of the Protestant church has been transferred from the Irish tenantry to the landlords, nine-tenths of whom are Protestants; the English tenant pees all the poor-rates, while the Irish tenant is only called on to pay half; and while the former is subject to county and parochial rates, in addition to turnpikes, which are a heavy burden, the laver pays only the county cess, the amount of which depends very much on his own conduct. We cannot, then, discover that the Irish peasantry are subject to any pecuniary grievances which legislation has inflicted or could remove ; neither can we perceive any neglect of their interests evinced by the British Minister or the Saxon Parliament; but, on khe contrary, we see that they have been especially pro tected by particular enactments against the payment of charges to which the occupiers of the other portions of the United Kingdom are still subject.—Blackwood. MAKING BARRISTERS.—In this country, where the importance to the public interests of having well-educated lawyers is the greatest, the provision for legal education is the smallest. In fact, we bestow upon the process of making lawyers a vet y great and a very unjust compli ment by talking of such a provision, how scanty soever, as having en existence amo ngs t us . Th ere i s no kind of provision whatever made for ascertaining that a person entering into the legal profes s i on , e ith er as a civilian in Doctor's Commons, or a barrister in the courts of West minster, or a proctor in the ecclesiastical courts, has re ceived any education whatever to fit him for those pro fessions, or, indeed, any education at all. An examina tion of a certain ki n d h as , i n d ee d, b een recentlyinstituted for attorneys and solicitors. but a person unable to read or write may become a bar r i s t er by mere ly entering his name during five years at one of the inns of court, and et tending twelve times in its dinner ball, at the beginning of the dinners eaten on those days, for about twelve weeks in the year. His name being on the books five years, he may attend those 12 times during the three out of the five years. This circumstance is all that the law requires to make a barrister of any man, however igno rant both of law and of everything else, together with the payment of certain fees, orders, and certain taxes, dues, fees to the inn of court, and taxes to the Government. The question needs hardly be asked if this coure of pro ceeding is rational, or even de cent ? W e b elieve the honour of it is exclusively our own. We do not suppose such an outrage upon all common senile as well as pro priety is perpetrated in any other country.—The Law Review. ' MARRIAGES IN THE EAST.—The following morning at daybreak, I was awakened by singing voices, which sounded strangely through th ose so l emn c l o i sters. On d esce nding into the op en space i n f ront of the convent, I found a bridal party assembled, and, there being some difficulty on the part of the priests, the villagers were amus i n g themselves with a d ance d ur i ng t h e d e l ay. N ow, a dance at sunrise is rather a singular occurrence—but it was net less so than the solemn and measured step of the dancers, which David might have imitated without any appearance of levity. Michel would scarcely have smiled at this choral band, that appeared like a procession swayed about, and slowly undulating to a hymn-like music. All the performers were women; the men, including the bridegroom, decorously sat spirt,smokiog their pipes, with an air of gentlemanly indifference. 'I he poor little bride (who was only twelve years old) stood all the while enveloped in a sort of tent, that moved with her like a May-bush on a chimney-sweep. This singular envelop. went, which exactly resembled a large kaleidscope, co vered with pink silk, permitted us no glimpse of its fair occupant, who was surrounded by a group of staid ma trons. The dance went on, meantime, with perseverance, if rot with spirit. Wreathing their arms round one ano ther. they advanced and retreated in two parties, keeping time to their choral voices—then, forming in a circle, they danced round and round without a smile. Their gay and various drapery floated in picturesque masses of purple or crimson folds, as they moved along ; their dark tresses fell in showers behind them, or were looped up with golden ornaments or coloured beads; their voices were passing sweet, and the music that they made seemed, to me, ten.. der, though very wild. While this was going on, the fathers of the expectant couple were bargaining with the priests about the marriage. The dispute w as carr i e d on with the usual violent gesticulations, and arose from the priests having raised their trice, as I understood. The villagers bad brought one dollar, the usual sum demanded for the business; but the minister required four, Th e conference at length broke up angrily. I grieve to say its issue was unfavourable, and I saw the bridal procession move off ;dill regret. I would willingly have furnished the necessary expenses, but I confess I grudged them to the ill-favoured, harsh-spoken friar, who probably, after all, acted only from necessity. As I had hail some con versation with the elders of the party, I made an offering towards the dowry of the kaleidoscope, and inquired whi ther they were going with the bride. "To the Santon," they replied, " who will do the business quite as well, and only charge half a-dollar!: When I returned t o th e con vent, I found the priest still standing at the door of the Latin convent, and ventured to inquire a hether this would not afford a dangerous precOent. " N o t so, " h e said ; " before a child is born, they'll come here to be married properly ; for they are reenectable people, and would not have a Moslon.child for twift the money.—Th e and the Cross.

A ROTIISCHILD IN WANT OF Six SOCS. — The Chari rani gives a pleasant anecdote of M. de Rothschild, which it affirms is founded on fact. The day was very wet. A thick fog, dark as a prologue, overspread the streets and overshadowed a splendid house at the corner of the Rue Laffitte. Then a cloud burst, and down came torrents of rain. At this moment a gentleman emerged from the pavement—he was as wet as Dutch soup. He looked for a hackney-coach, and saw nothing but gutters. The gate ways were crowded with persons seeking shelter. The gentleman hesitated an instant—saw an omnibus, dashed into it like lightning, and took his seat, bathed like a Tri ton. He looked less like a man than a duck. The vehi cle pursued its course, and the gentleman, wrapped in a tweed and a pelisse. seemed to try to dry himself. At length, however, the shower stopped, and the omnibus reached the Rue Richelieu opposite the Exchange. The gentleman made a sign to the conductor, rose from his seat. and got out, and was passing away, " And my six sous ?" said the conductor. " Your six sous," reilied the gentleman with a German accent, " I forgot." The gentlemen thrust his hands into his pockets, tried what was there, and found nothing. " Come, come," said the conductor, getting impatient, " look sharp." " Parblue,' said the gentleman, " I have got no change." " You ate a farceur," said the conductor. " Insolent fellow," re joined the gentleman, " I am Monsieur de Rothschild." " Never heard of you," said the man ; " Give me my six sous." At the name of the illustrious banker the passen gers all turned round, whispered, and laughed. "Go to the d—l," said the banker; "I have important business at the Exchange, and must go. There is my card." Give me my six sous," groaned the conductor. M. de Roths child became exasperated. The conductor persisted, and there seemed to be every chance of M. de Rothschild being taken into custody for six sous. " Fury !" said the banker, " I shall miss a splendid coup. I have only a order for a million. Give me my change." Saying th;s, half laughing, half furious, the hanker drew from his pocket-book a coupon for 50,000 f. of rentes of five per cent., and presented it to the conductor. The conductor stared, and at this moment an agent de change came by. " Oh, 107 frieod," said Rwhschild, how lucky. lam a prisoner f , r debt. Lend me six sous." The agent turned round. and threw a M. piece to the conductor. " The d---!," said the man. '"This must be some one :" and then, as if struck with re arse, he turned to M. Roths child, atid said, " If you want ►en francs, Sir, I ch„Nn't tnjAf iendiPi them to you," THE LIVERPOOL LETTER CARRIERS. The wretched remuneration received by this most valu able class of men, for services involving great labour, fidelity, and personal hardship, has recently been brought very forcibly before the public; but. like all cases of un just treatment or of suffering, is, we fear, less regarded in the immediate locality where they present themselves than in more distant places where they do not come hourly under observation. Morning, noon, and night their fellow-townsmen see these patient drudges perambu lating our streets, in frost, in sleet, in rain, or beneath a burning sun and amid the stifling dust. They are the vehicles which bring us messages of love or of disaster, remembrances of distant friends, or warnings of approach. ing enemies. They bear to our doors those communica tions which set in motion the wheels of commerce, and call into action the industry and the ingenuity which would otherwise pine unemployed; and they bring also, faithfully, the stipulated rewards, for which we have striven. And yet we never inquire bow much of this world's compact these important pieces of human machinery are permitted to enjoy, or whether he, who, during the week, may have been the means of conveying thousands of pounds, or their equivalent in joy, to the homes of others, can take home, at the end of that week's labours, the means of procuring comforts or even bare necessaries for himself and those who may be dependant upon him. 'We never ask whether servants of the public, so useful, have justice done to their merits, or even com mon consideration given to their necessities. For the information of those of our fellow-townsmen, we fear a large number, who may not have made them themselves acquainted with the claims of these men to the support of their fellow-townsmen, in the effort now making to procure from the proper authorities an adequate remuneration for their services, we shall briefly state what these services are, and how they are rewarded. The duties of a letter carrier, with an ordinary extent of district, commence by an attencite.ce at the General Post Office at seven o'clock in the morning, where he sorts and arranges his letters, and having done so, sets out upon his delivery. He may finish from ten o'clock until half-past eleven, when he may be permitted to take breakfast. He is again at the general office at one o'clock, and after having sorted-his letters, sets out once more with his delivery. He must be at the office at four o'clock, and again goes through the same routine of la bour, finishing perhaps by eight o'clock or half-past, at night. This is the week-day duty. On Sundays be must attend to his first delivery, sacrificing, of course, all chance of attending morning service ; and during the rest of the day is liable to a call from the office at any hour, to assist in the forwarding of any letters which may arrive by post office packet ships or merchant vessels. During the pre valence of westerly winds, this Sunday duty is very ardu• ous, and almost certain to be required. For this amount of labour, to be performed, be it re marked in all weathers, the post-office authorities in Lon don allow the weekly dole of 205.; and when, in addition to the amount of bodily fatigue and exposure to be en- dured, we bear in mind that every letter carrier trust pos sess more than a mere working man's amount of education, and consider the great trust placed in him, (which we are happy to say, has, in this town, been seldom violated) it will be acknowledged that this sum is miserably beneath their deservings, and unworthy alike of that important and flourishing branch of the revenue to which they are attached, as it is of this great commercial community. The letter-carriers of the metropolis have 255. a-week— a sum little enough in all conscience—and besides they have a uniform once a-year, a top coat every two years, are provided with a wallet for their letters, and set down by a post-office omnibus at their several districts : more over, the men attached to the general delivery go out only once a-day, and derive a revenue from late letters. The Liverpool letter-carrier has not one of these aids. At this inclement season, we see him, insufficiently clad, holding his packet of letters, containing, perhaps, valua ble remittances, in his numbed hands, trudging on his fatiguing duties, with less than the pay of the meanest artisan to reward Lis usefulness. This should not be; and we trust that our fellow townsmen will not bold back in the effort now making to impress upon government the just claims of the letter carriers to a little more liberality at its hands. If we are grateful for the advantages derived by us from the penny postage system, we ought not so far to wrap ourselves up in selfishness as to shut our eyes to the fact that the humble instruments by whose aid that system is carried out, and whose labours it has doubled, are the most mise rably remunerated body of men in the public service. A memorial to the post-office authorities, numerously signed, would, we are confident, produce the de-ired effect. Let such a memorial be prepared at once. We have seen movements made in Liverpool for far less worthy objects. 1 SPLENDID WORK ON F RESCO D ECORATIONS AND STUCCOES.—We had the gratification of inspecting a few days ago, at Mr. Linnecar's repository, in Ranelagh street, a splendid and elaborate volume in royal folio, en titled " Fresco Decorations of Churches and Palaces in Italy, during the 15th and 16th Centuries, (Parts I. and II;) Forty•six Plates and Descriptions by L. Grumere with an Essay on Arabesques, Iy M. Hittorff." The plates in this work exhibit all that is beautiful, curious, or grotesque, in these species of mural, roof, or columnar adornment, and though a difference of opinion may exist as to their general applicability in this somewhat humid climate, we feel convinced that they may be introduce/ in good substantial English buildings, public or private, with admirable effect, and would be found sufficiently durable if the compositions introduced by modern science were employed—especially in the fine parts, viz. papi4 mache. They would not only (if selected from the serious rather than the grotesque) b e su i ta bl e for churches; but appropriate designs might be found for our handsome new shops, which, independent of their intrinsic beauty and richness, would, here at least, have the merit and attrac tion of novelty. We recommend our architects to an in spection of the book, to which is appended a key -plate, showing the formation and rich coloring of the pieces of each compartment, as working designs. VOCAL CON CERT.—The lovers of music in Liverpool had a rich treat at Mr. Radcliffe's concert of Friday evening last. An uninterrupted course of enthusiastic applause and numerous repetitions (though far fewer than were clamorously callea for) are tolerable criteria of the feeling of the auditory ; but of the intense gratification elicited by the pure tone, refined taste, and perfect know ledge of Mrs. Sunderland, those who heard her are alone competent to speak of. Some idea may be formed when it is stated, that Mrs. Sunderland sung in a dozen morceaux, and repeated three of them, and narrowly es caped additional instances. The concerted pieces were as near perfection as can he accomplished, and the admi rable effect of four fine voices,—the lady above, Messrs. Milnes (one of the finest counter tenors e e ever heard), Peace and 'fWilkinson (a splendid bass, who, we find, are much in the habit of meeting in orchestras), was exquisitely demonstrated in some of the finest glees, madrigals. &c., in the catalogue.. The enthusiastic delight with which then were listened to evinced a great advance in judgement no less than taste, and the repeti ion of Battye's prize glee " Hail Memory," scarcely seemed to allay the thirsty admiration of the hearers. Mr. Ryan's mr rits are too well known to need enforcing, but we do not ever recollect him more impres sive or successful, (encores b?ine admitted as proof,) and we were particularly struck with the force and expression developed in the two beautiful duetts between this gentle man and Mrs. Sunderland. Mr. Wilberforce accompa nied with great judgement anti taste ; and a very elegant and delighted audience crowded Mr. Radcliffe's very spi rited undertaking. BURN'S COMMERCIAL GLANCE FOR 18-15.—N0 sta tistical d icun ent, ever got up by private enterprise and industry in this or any other country, has ever been in vested with such universal credit and acknowledged use fulness by men of all shades of orinion as the " Commer cial Glance," for many years past published by the late John Burn, of Manchester. By leading statesmen in both houses of parliament, and by the entire mercantile com munity, it has been regarded as affordine a correct index of the transactions in every departmentof our cotton mann ficture ; and it will be with no small degree of satisfaction that our readers will learn that the publication of the Glance will be continued, with the same accuracy and im partiality, which distinguished it during the lire-time of its original compiler, by Mr. Rob er t B urn, his son, who will be aid e d by the possession of the whole of his late father's compilations and sources of information. An ad ditional claim to public support in this undertaking Mr. Burn possesses in the praiseworthy motives which have actuated him in its execution, which we may here take the opportunity of explaining. The late John Burn left the copyright of the " Glance" to his second son, who has since died, leaving such copyright, by will, to his widow, with instructions that Mr. Robert Burn, his brother, who had for some years actively aided his late father in its preparation,should beassocinted with herin the labours and profits of its publication. It has been found advisable to join with them a third patty, by whom several new and valuable features Will be added to it; and, in pursuance of the agreement between the nartiec, which we have perused, Mrs. Burn, the widow, is ensured a third portion of the profits, without risk, in case of its failure—a con tingency which we cannot regard as within the bounds of probability. m en BURGLARY. —Yesterday, at the Police -court, a you, named Thomas John Southern, was brought before ng Mr. Rushton, on a charge ( f having b ro k en i nto the shop of M essrs. Pi erce and Crossfield, and stolen there:: from a considerable sum of money, and other articles. Thomas G. Capper, assistant in the shop, said that he had left the shop on Monday, the 16th instant, about eight o'clock, when everything was secure. On return ing next morning he found the trop-door in the floor of the shop open, and everything in confusion. He then missed a bag which had contained a £lO note and other moneys, and which he had for security concealed in a plsce in the shop which no one not acquainted w th the premises would have thought of searching. He also missed two boxes from the counter which were used to hold cigars for retail, and some other money that had been left in the till ; he also missed some snuff-boxes. On examining around, be found that the party or parties had effected an entrance into the cellar under the shop of Mr. Dean, druggist (next door), by a window that looked into it, and that he or they had thence got into Messrs. Pierce and Crossfiekl's cellar by removing some bricks in the wall. Mr. Love, assistant to Mr. Dem, said that a pane of glass had been removed from - the window of Mr.' Dean's cellar. On Saturday last, in consequence of in formation given that the prisoner was suspected, a police. officer who saw him in Tithebarn.str.et arrested him. Inspector Anders found upon him some keys end a silver watch, with which he and the officer proceeded to the prisoner's lodging in No. 5, William -street. The keys opened the prisoner's boxes, and they found within a £lO note, £4 10s. in sovereigns, £2 ss. in silver, and 6s. 044. in copper. The note was in a snuff-box produced. Mr. Pierce said he had lost in all from £2O to £25 ; he identi fied the £lO note and the cigar -boxes ; the prisoner had been in his service eighteen months ago as shop-boy. The officers ascertained that the prisoner bad on Thurs day purchased the watch from Mr. Harrison, of Castle street, for £3 10e., which be paid for in silver. The snuff-box was identified by the assistant in the shop. Ile was committed for trial. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—At the Police-coon yesterday, a respectable looking man, named Wafter Blount, was placed before Mr. Rushton on a charge of having embezzled several sums of money from his em ployer, Mr. John Lane, brewer, Vauxhall-road. The prosecutor said that the prisoner bad been employed by him as book-keeper, and 'also to receive moneys at the office, which he had to hand over every Saturday eight, the account being kept in a small book, and the parties afterwards credited for the same in the general books. Prisoner had left his service about two months, he having discharged him on suspicion of dishonesty. On the 11th of June Mr. Hartley, secretary to the Reform Association, paid him £2O for grains, and he had only accounted to him for £l5 of that amount. The witness was severely cross-examined by Mr. Owen and Wardle on behalf of the prisoner, with a view to show that no regular settle ment of accounts had ever been made between him and the prisoner, and the result proved that, if this were not so, the books had not, either previously or afterwards, been kept in a very business-like manner—the witness acknowledging that he did not know tow many thousand pounds might have passed through the prisoner's hands while in the service. Evidence was gone into as to the charge, and it appeared that £l5 only out of the £2O paid had been accounted for. Two other cases of receiving money were next gone into—one of £4 55., and another of £1 18s. Mr. Owen then elicited from the prosecutor that the prisoner had banded in a list to him, asking him to see if he had received any of the amounts, or whether any of them could be properly charged to prisoner, who expressed his willingness to pay them, as well as for any ale It might have got, but this, it appeared, w as t co days after the pri soner was discharge'd. The complainant's re cone, tion as to the list was not very clear, and Mr. Rash ton decided (on its being produced) that it should be ex amined by the books, which would take some time. The £5 short accounted for from Hartley wee in it, but not the two others. Of the latter, however, there was not sufficient legal evidence to go to a jury, the receipts pro duced being defective. Ile was of opinion, however, that the first case was clearly one of embezzlement, as the pri soner had made a false entry. Finally he remanded the prisoner until Thursday, so that the list might be ex amined. APPEAL. CASE. —At the sessions, on Saturday, a case was heard before the Recorder, in which Mr. George Walker, a very respectable retired brewer and publican, who recently filled the office of President of the Liverpool Guardian Society, was the appellant, and Mr. Edward Rushton, Stipendiary Mag'strate, was the respondent. It was an appeal from one of Mr. Rushton's decisions, in which h e or d ered Mr. Walker to be committed to pri son for three months, on a charge of having indecently exposed his person, in Devon -street, to four females. Three witnesses were examined to establish the respond ent's case, and their evidence is alluded to in the Re corder's summing up. After a long address from Mr: James in favour of the appellant, thirty witnesses, Includ ing the Rev. F. Ould, Messrs. Joseph Cooper, Councillor Kilshaw, J. Ashcroft (ironmonger), T. Turner (boot-, maker), Whitt y (China dealer), and Evans (solicitor), were called to character, and in all our experience of courts of justice we never heard a higher character for morality and respectability than Mr. Walker received from every otte of those witnesses. The Mayor was ready to be called to give a similar character, but, owing to the lateness of the hour, be was obliged to leave for the Town-balL Witnesses were also called who said they would not be lieve Steed and Bell (two of the witnesses for the respon dent) on their oaths. The Recorder then delivered judg ment at very considerable length. file remarked that it, was a meet serous, painful case, and that the duty of de.. Biding .1 - conscientiously had been rendered still more import in consequence of the highest possible charac ter 1%1-, Walker had received from respectable sources. It was ieipessible to say the defendant was innocent with out cciLieg to the conclusion that three witnesses for the prosecution were wilfully perjured. He admitted that Belt had been considerably peached ; but, still, omit ting altogeth er t h e evidt nee of Bell and Steed, he was disposed to believe that the vory of the little girl Walsh was the tothruth. Th e w i tne sses'were all unacquainted with each er ; and if th ere was a conspiracy amotig them t o lay the charge, wl ett was it concocted ? acid what motivec h.id they for bringing it ? when, without even deiniin fing money from M r. Walker, they celled a police man and hail him sent t o B r id ewell. t i c cenclu d . d by seeing, that with v ery greet regret, he saw no grounds f or revers i ng Mr. tiuttr,ton's eecidon. Mr. Welker, who sat in front of Lig counsel deritig the proceedings, was then removed to th- Borough Prison, three to spend the remait,der of the three ninntl.s' imnrisontnent, for which period Le had been committed by Mr. RnEl.ton. LOCAL NEWS. A young female, named Mary Daley, was on Saturday fined £3O or three months' imprisonment, by Mr. Rush ton, for having and using an illicit still, in Russel-street, Toxteth- par k. GLASS.—Mr. Ward, of Bold-street, is now offering, it will be seen by an advertisement in another colum, a con signment of glass at prices surprisingly low. I t is not imperfect or damaged glass, but of first rate quality. AN IMPRUDENT MAN. —.On Saturday Susanna John ston was committed for trial, by Mr. Rushton, on a charge of having stolen the sum of £l3 in sovereigns, from an emigrant, named William Dodson, in Denison -street. Mr. Lathbury, of Castle-street, has removed to a spier did shop on the west side of Castle-street, the intera. 1 arrangements of which reflect great credit on the eminent architect Mr. Kilpin, of this town. Mr. Lathbury has been appointed druggist to the Queen. CHRISTMAS GAME PIES.—The worthy host of the St. George Hotel announces, in another column, his cele brated raised game pits for Thursday next, and we doubt not but their fame will be greatly augmented, by the libe rality of Mr. Latham, who throws open his tables gratui. tously to his patrons. EMBEZZLEMENT.—A ybung man, of the name of Charles 111`Ghee, war, on Thursday, at the Police -court, charged with embezzling the sum of £35. the property of his employer, Mr. Creaser, egg merchant, Drogheda. He was remanded until to-morrow, until Mr. Creaser could arrive from Drogheda. - - CHRISTMAS GIFTS.—The liberality of some of cur advertising friends seems to know no bounds: one firm, Messrs. Hollis, Watford, and Co., have announced that they wit present to their customers this evening fifty boxes of dried fruits. The principal object they have in view must be to bring their articles into competition with those of other houses. THE ROYAL CHELTENHAM BAND. —Mr. Parker, the leader of this excellent band advertizes in our paper of to-day, and we feel assured that the general satisfaction that two successive years' engagements bare given at the Zoological Gardens, as well as numerous other important engagements, are sufficient to ensure those who look during the ensuing festive scene, "to trip the light fantastic toe"—all the aid superior music can lend. AN UNNATURAL FATHER.—On Saturday a younglad, named James Lennings, whose chin rested on the front of the bar, was charged by his father with having stolen a sack, vdue twopence, from his house, in Simpson-court, the night before. When the father had proved the charge, Mr Rushton asked what he was to do with the lad ? The father : I can get no good of him. Mr. Rushton : Take him home, and take care of him. You want to send your children to gaol before they know right from wrong. Some of you are not fit to have children at all. The prisoner was then discharged. ROYAL LIVER THEATRE.—It will be seen by the ad vertisement i n our paper of this day,, that this Th ea t re will be opened, on Thursday next, with an Operatic Company of first-rate character, including Messrs.

OPENING OF THE GYMNASIUM IN TAR4TON-STREET. —lt will be seen by the adtertisement in our paper of this day. that the above institution will be ready for open ing during the present week. Mr. Creagh (Willy), from his long experience as assistant to Monsieur Huguenin, is well capable of conducting it advantagecusly to these who may place themselves under his care. Those of our readers who may remember his surprising feats at the Collegiate Institution whilst Mons. Huguenin was lectur ing there, will acknowledge that be presents, in his own person, a rare specimen of .what gymnastics will do in developing the strength of the human frame. ATTEMTTED ROBBERY.—At the Police -court yester day, a slenclet, genteelish-looking young man, named Joseph Johnson, was brought before Mr. Rushton on the following charge. Mr. Owen, a publican in Prussia. street, said that on Sunday night the prisoner came to his' house and wanted a bed, which it was agreed he should have. It further appeared that in the morning, after Mr. Owen had gone down stairs. a little girl, his niece, found the prisoner in her uncle's bed-room near the drawers. He said he was looking for a comb. She told , her uncle and he went up stairs and found one of the drawers broken open. A police-officer was sent for, who found him in his own bed-room. Eleven skeleton keys were found upon him, one of which opened the landlord' s. room door. H e a l so f oun d upon hi m a piece of a broken chisel which fitted the. marks-en the. drawer.

It appeared that on Sunday night the prisoner and others, to the number of 142, had got their supper given t o t h em in the open ' hall, each receiving a portion of bread. Some traffic it appears, occasionally takes place between some of them, in selling their bread to each other, or exchanging it for tobacco. After the prisoner got his bread some of them around endeavoured to take it from him by force, and he becoming enraged at the complainant, bit him in the jaw, afterwards endeavoured to gouge him, and finally bit severely one of his fingers. The prisoner said that the complainant had first assaulted him, dragging him by the clothes, that all of them, but a few, (w ho dare not speak in his behalf) were against him, and that becoming enraged he had bitten him, after being struck and abused. It ap. peared there was no officer amongst the whole 142 at the ;! time. Mr. Galloway explained that he was absent only a few minutes at his tea at the time, and that he could not be present at all times in the rooms. Mr. Rushton exon erated Mr. Galloway, lin' strongly reprehended the sys. tern of nut providing mrre officers to look over these peo ple.
