(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 bad caused the insertion of an advertisement in one of the Manchester paper-, announcing the wish of the advertiser to meet with a wife with a liberal education, a sum of money, &e., and all answers to he addressed to Mr. Augustus Vivian, Post•oice, Liverpool. Suspecting this to emanate from some sharp 'or designing person, an answer was promptly sent by a young gentleman of this tovin, 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-square, at half-past twelve on the above day. The gentleman was to be distingui-hed by a white camellia, and the lady by a red eeraniurn. 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 boom, . 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 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. Time Gentleman who bad interrupted the tele-a-tete also sharply reproved "the gallant gay Lothario" (a g entle. man of tall and portly appearance, but of Barei olphian 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 further meeting Was appointed for four o'clom k, 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 whtn the " lady" appeared in proprid personiias a gentleman, accompanied by a large number of friends. The candidate bore his disappointment with apparent good humour. It was elicited by the young lady from hint that he was in search, to use his own words, of " Youth, beauty, quality, virtue, wit, and—steal' we add it—money ;" that he had at least a dozen more engagements, and if any were true, we doubt not but that he 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 having, by some means or . ther, got wind of the affair, stationed themselves outside the solicitor's office, and followed the unlucky adventurer to his above-minted temporary abode, and he is now, no doubt, safely lodged at his home in Liverpool. Miss CLARA WEBSTER. — Unfortunately, the death of this accori-plished dancer has not hetn the only evil atten dant upon the late sad accident at Drury-lane Theatre. A nurse of the name of lltuld, supplied on the urgency of the case from the Middlesex Hospital to attend upon Miss Webster, fell down the stairs, and upon haatt 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 st•.cped four days in a bßsitiful of distilled water; the water was then decanted and examined by various chemical tests. It was immiscible with soap, struck a lively green with syrup of violets, was rendered slightly la, teset nt by the volatil e alkali s 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 rendering 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 bidding, I must premise th,t it is a gathering together of as many of the friends and friends' friends, acqoaititences and ac quaintances' acquaintances of the britle 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. Juan is to be repaid when the lender, or any fnend 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 money.—Sketches in South Wales. " INJURED IRELAND ! " —The rents paid for• land in Irel ,nd ire at least one-third less than the rents paid for land in England,—but were it even otherwise, the right to dispose of propene 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 telies, 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 trom the Irish tenantry to the landlords, nine-tenths of whom are Protestants • the English ten an t pry. s all the poor-rite s. while tee Irish tenant is mile called on to pay Is , 0'; and while the twiner is subject to county and parochial rates, in addit on to turnpikes, which are a heavy burden, the fat er 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 the contrary, we see that they have been especially pro tected by par titular 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 very great and a very unjust compli ment by talking of such a provision, how scanty soever, as having en existence amongst us. There is no kind of provision whatever made for ascertaining that a person entering into the legal profession, either 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 kind has, indeed, been recently instituted for attorneys and solicitors, but a person unable to read or write may become a barrister by merely entering his , name during five years at one of the inns of court, and at. tending twelve times in i!s dinner hall, at the be ginning of the dinners eaten on those dae tr, for about twelve weeks in the year. His name being on the books five years, he may attend those 12 times duri, g 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 every' hing else, toeether with the payment of certain fees, orders, and certain taxes, dues, tees to the ion of court, and taxes to the Government. The question needs hardly be asked if this coure of pro ceeding is rational, cr even decent? We believe the honour of it is exclusively our own. We do not suppose such an outrage upon all common sense as well as pro priety is perpetrated in any other country.—The 4,aw Rer;Ptv. MARRIAGES IN THE EAST.—The following :morning at daybreak, I was awakeeed, by singing voices, which sounded strangely through those solemn cloisters. On descending into the open space in font of the convent, I found a bridal party assembled, and, there brie e some difficulty on the part of the priests, the villagers wete amusing themselves with a dance during the deity. Now, a dance at sunrise is rather a singular occurrence—but it was net less so than the solemn end cnea•ured step of the dancers, which David might have imitated without any appearance of levity. Micnal 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 ep trt, smoking their pip .s, with an air of gentlernatly indifference. Ihe 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. Thin singular envelop ment, which exactly resembled a large kaleidscope, co vered with pink silk, pe mated us no glimpse of its fair occupant, who was surrounded by a group cf staid ma. trona. 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 I 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 was carried 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. The conference at length broke up angrily. I grieve to say its issue was unfavourable, and I saw the bridal procession move off wi'h regret. I would willingly have furnished the necessary expenses, but I confess I grudged them to the ill-favoured, harsh-spoken frier, who probably, aft er acted only from necessity. As I had had settle con versation with the elders of the party, I matte an offering towards the dowry of the kaleidoscope, and inquired whi. the: they were going with the bride. "To the Banton," "who will do the business qu it e as we ll , they replied,and only charge half-a-dollar." When I returned to the con vent, I found the priest still .

A ..OTEISCHILD IN WANT OF Six SOUS.—The Chart 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 ventleman 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 ten. lie 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 inpatient, " look sharp." " Parblue,' said the gentleman, I have got no change." " You are 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 this, half laughing, half furious. the banker drew from his pocket-book a coupon for 50.000 f. of rentes of five per cent., end presented it to the conductor. The conductor stored, and at this moment an agent de change came by. " Oh, my friend." sad Rothschild, ' how lucky. lam a prisoner f, r debt. Lend me six sous." The agent turned round. and threw a sf. piece to the conductor. " The d-1," said the man. " This must be some one :" and then, as if struck with remorse, he turned to M. Roths child, and said, " If you want ten francs, Sir, I don't mind lending them to you." 5 0 5 0 5 0 5 0 5 0 5 0 5 0 - 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 b-en brought very forcibly before the public; but. like all cases of un just treatment or of suffering, is, we fear, less regareed in the immediate locality where they present themselves titan in more distant places where they do not come hourly under observation. Morning, noun, 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 meesag-s of love or of di-aster, remembrances of distant friends, or warnings of approach ing enemies. They bear to our doors rho•e 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 bi ing also, faithfully, the stipulated rewards, for which we have striven. And yet we never inquire how much of this world's compact these important pieces of human machinery are permitted to enjoy, cr 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 othsrs, can take home, at the end of 'hat 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 consideraton given to their necessities. For the information of those of our fellow-townsmen, we fear a large numb: r, who may not have made them themselves acquainted with the claims of these men to the support of their fellow -townsmen, in the effort row making to procure from the proper authorities an adequate remuneration for their services, we shall briefly state what these services are, and how they tire rewarded. The duties of a letter carrier, with an ordinary extent of district, commence by an attenda 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 I•is delivery. He may finish from ten o'clock until half-past eieven, 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 dclisery. lie 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 hall-past, at night. This is the weekday duty. On Sundays he must attend to his first delivery, sacrificing, of coarse, all chance of attending morning service ; end during the rest of the day is liable to a call from the office at arty 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 et-IW') to be required. For 'his 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 lettt r•carrier tnu-t nos seas more than a mere working man's amount of eduoitien, and consider the great trust placed in him, (which we are happy to say, has, in this town, been seldom violated) it w 11 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 peat commercial community. The letter-carriers of the mt tropolis have 255. a-week— a sum little enough in all consvience—and besides they lave is 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 lute letters. The Liverpool letter_carrier has not one of these aids. At this liniment season, we see him, insufficiently clad, holding his packet of letters, con►aining, perhaps, value ble-temittances, in his numbed hands, trudging on his fatiguing duties, with less than the pay of the meanest arti,an to reward his usefulness. This should not be; and we trust that our fellow townstnen will not hold back in the eff at now making to impress upon government the just claims or the letter. carriers to a little store 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 double d, are the most mise rably remunerated body of men in the public service A memorial to the post-office authorities. nutnerously signed, would, we are confident, produce the desired effect. Let such a memorial be prepared at once. We have seen movements made in Liverpool for far less worthy objects. LOCAL NEWS.

ATTEDIFTED ROBBERY. —At the Police -court yester day, a slender, genteash-looking young man, named Joseph Johnson, was brought before Mr. Rushton on the following charge. Mr. Owen, a publican i n Prussia street, said that on S un d ay night' the prisoner came to his house and wanted a bed, which it was agreed be 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 be was looking for a comb. She told her uncle and he went up stairs aid found one of the drawets broken open. A police-officer was sent for, wlto found hint in his own bed-room. Eleven skeleton keys were found upon him, one of which opened the landlord's room door. He also found upon him a piece of a broken chisel which fitted the marks on the drawer. He after wards found in the room allotted to him, between the bed and the mattress, the remainder of the chisel.—The pri soner was committed to gaol for three months. SAVAGE CONDUCT.—A black lad, an inmate of the Workhouse. named Peter Antonio, was yesterday brought up at the Police-court on a charge of savagely biting a young man, also a pauper in the house. It appeared that on Sunday night the prisoner and oth ers , t o the number of 142, had got their supper given to them 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. Aftet 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 bad first assaulted him, dragging him by the clothes, that all of them, but a few, (who dare not speak in his behalf) were against him, and that becoming enraged he had bitten him, after being struck and abused. It :Fp 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, but strongly ren - ehended the sys tem of not providing more officers to look over these peo. ple. He had fiat.: doubt but the prisoner had been attacked, but his savage conduct to the complainant ccu'd not be overlooked, and he therefore committed him for trial.

VOCAL CONCERT —The lovers of music in Liverpool had a rich treat at Mr. Radcliffe's concert of Friday evening last. An uninterrupted course of enthusiestie applause and numertua repetitiatis (though far fewer than were clamorously allied far) are tolerable criteria of the feeling of the audiiory ; but of the intense gratification elicited by the pure tette, refined taste, and pet fect know ledge of Mrs. Surideland, 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 moreemr, and repeated three of them. and narrowly es caped additional instances. The concerted piacas were as near perfection as can be accomplished, and the admi rable effect of tour fine voices,—the lady above, Messrs. Milnes (one of the finest counter tenors we ever heard), Peace and Wilkinson (a splendid bass, who, we find, are much in the habit of meeting in orchestras), was exquisitely demonstrated in some of the finest El es. medrigals.

The enthusiaskie delight with which thevr were listened to evirbed' a great advaece it; judgement uo 1-sa than test; • and the repeti . i in of Ba't. e's prize glee " Hail Memory," scarcely seemed to allay the. thirsty admiration of the hearers.

An ad ditional claim to public support in this undertaking Mr. Burn possesses in the praisewot thy motives which have actuated him in its execution, which we may bete 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 copyrieht, by will, to his widow, with instructions that Mr. Robert Burn, l.i. brother, who had for some years actively aided his late father in its preparation,should heassociated nithberin the labour!, and profits of its pubic:it:on. It has been found advisable to jolt' wit :• then, a third party, by whom several new and valuable features will be added to it; and, in pursuance of the agreement between the parties, which we have perused, Mrs. Burn, the widow, is :limited a third portion of the profits, without risk, in rase of its failure—a con tingeney which we cannot regard as within the bounds of probability. BURGLARY. —Yesterday, at the Police -court, a young man, named Thomas John Southern, was brought before Mr. Rushton, on a charge • f having broken into the Shop of Messrs. Pierce and Crossfield, and str , len there from a considerable sum of motley, and other articles. Thomas G. Capper, assistant in the shop, said that be had left the shop on Monday, the 16th instant, about eight o'clock, when everything was secure. On return. ing neat morning he found the trop-door in the floor of the shop open, and everything in mansion. lie then missed a bag which had contained a £lO note and other nionevs, and which he had for security concealed in a pl.ce in ti,e shop which no one trot acquainted w th the premises would have thought of searching He also missed two boxes frotn 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, he found that the party or parties had eff. eted an et:trance into the cellar under the shop of Mr. Dean, druggist (next door), by a window that looked into it, and that he or they kid thence got into Messrs. Pierce and Crossfield's cellar Ify removing some bricks in the wall. Mr. Love, aesis!an to Mr. Dean, said that a pane of glass had been removed from the window of Mr. Jean's cellar. On Saturday la-t, in consequence of in formation given that the prisoner was suspected, a police officer who saw him in Tilh,43arn str et arrested him. Inspector Anders found upon him some keys end a silver watch, with which lie and the officer proceeded to the prisoner's lodging in No. 5, William-street. The keys opened the prisoner's boxes, and they found wiihtn a £lO note, £4 10s. in sovereigns, £2 ss. in sayer, and 6s. O'd. in copper. The note wni in a snuff-box produced. Mr. Pierce said he had lost in all front £2O to £25 ; he identi fied the £lO note and the cigar.bost s ; the prisoner had been in his service . eighteen months ego as shoe-boy. The officers ascaraieeil that the prisoner had on Thurs day purchased the watch from Mr. Harrison, of Castle street, for £3 10a., which he paid fir in silver. The snuff-box was identified by the assistant iu the shop. Ile was committed for trial. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—At the Police•court i yesterday, a respectable lookien man, named Walter Blount, was placed before Mr. Rushton ors 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 had been employed by trim as book-keeper, and also to receive moneys at the office, which he had to hand over every Saturday . ight, the account bring kept in a small book, arid the parties afterwards credited for the same in the general hooka. Prisoner had left his service about two months, he having discharged him on suspicion of dishon sty. On the 11th of June Mr. Hartley, secretary to the Reform Associaion, 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 .old 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 reeult proved that, if this were not so, the books had not, either previously or site' wards, been kept in a very buenees•Lkee manner--the witness acknowledging that he did not know how many thousand pounds might have. pass-d through the prisoner's hands while in the services. Evidence was gone in oas to the charge, and it appeared that £l5 on:y out of ti,e £2O paid had been accoucted for. Tao oth. r cases of receiving money were next gone into—one of £4 5a., and another of £1 18s. Mr. ()wen then elicited from the prosecutor that the prisoner had Landed in a list to Lim, asking him to see if he Lad received any of the Jrnout,ts, or whether any of them could be footway charged to prisoner, who expressed his willingness to pay them, as welt as for any ale he mi g h t h ave got, b ut this, it appeared, was t vo days atter the prisoner was discharged. The complairannt' s re collection as to the list was not very clear, and Mr. li ush ton decided (on its being produced) that it should be ex. amined by the books, which would take some time. 'Mc £5 short accounted for tr. - in Hartley Was in it, but not the two others. Of the latter, however, there was hot sufficient legal evidence to go to a jury, the receipts pro duced being defective. He was of opinion, however, that the first case was tlearly one of emirt zzlement, es tie pri sorter had made a false entry.

APPEAL CASE.---At the sessions, on Saturday, a case was heard before the Recorder, in which Mr. George Walker, a very reseectable retired brewer and publican, who recently filled the (Mee of Pres;dent of the Liverpool Guardian Society, was the appellant, and Mr. Edward Rushton, Stipeneiary Mag sorte, was the respondent. It was an appeal from one of Mr. Ru-b'on'a dec•sions, in which he ordered Mr. Walker to he commited to pri son for three mcnths, on a charge of having indecently exposed Ids person, in Devon street, to tour 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. Mier 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), Whitty (China dealer), and Evans (solicitor), were celled to character, and in all our experience of courts of justice we never heard a higher character for morality and respectability that] Mr. Walker received front every one of those witnesses. The Mayor was ready to be called to give a similar character, but, owing to the lateness of the hour, he vita obligol to leave for the Town-bail- Witnesses were also "ailed who said they would not be lieve Steed and Bell (two of the witnesses for the respon dent) on their oaths. The Recorder then deliveredjudg ment at very considerable length. .tie remarked that it was a nest serious, pitiful case, and that the duty of de ciding •r. conscicriti,usly had been rendered suill mo re . . its p. n nt, in consequence of the highest possible charac ter MP,.

It was iet possible to say the defenditot was innocent with... out coming to the conclusion that three witnesses for the prosecution were wilfully perjured. lie admitted' that Bell had been considerably io ecnitheds; but, still, omit ting altogether the eviden ce o f Bell end Steed, he was disposed to b e li eve that the story of the little girl Walsh was the truth. The witnesses were all unacqm.int ed with each other; and if there was a conspiracy ritnoug them to lay the charge, wl.ert was it concoct .0 ? and what motives had they for bricgtrig- it ? w h en , without even demon dog money from Mr. Walker, they called a policeman and had him sent to Elndeivell. lie conclud, d by swing, that with very great regret, he 3 1 x ?in atouods for reversing Mr. Rustitott's eecision. Mr. Welker, who sat in front of his counsel during the preceedings, was then removed to the Borough Prison, there to spend the remainder of the three months' imprisonment, for which period he bad !-„, been committed by Mr. Rushton. .., ..7 ,). 4 f ' l‘ ::4 P rl) r• kg v.;' :•-•, -.3 i." , .-!-- r, .---' '' \ .
