On Saturday evening Mr. Addams delivered the eie,lith lecture of t htecoUrse, and, notwithstanding the inclemency of the evening, his audience was large. We are obli ge d t o e x e r c ise our reason in conjunction with o ur digit in order to arrive at eheerue relations of an object in size and distance, otherwise we should be greatly deceived ; the moon, for in ,,steeee, dot's not appear to be larger than 'a piece of 'c ircular p a p er a foot in diameter, yet we know this is by no means her ma g nitude. Cohen we see a body associating with _others in the neighbourhood, 84°1 ' 9 'S a horse in the neighbourhood•of a house, or a house in the neighbourhood of other houses With trees beyond, we are enrilited to judge of the magnitude of the house better than we should be were r 2 4'fb irr;r it insulated and alone: Generally 'speaking, our notions of t he magnitude of bodies will he regulated by the angles which the ex tremes of the bodies will subtend. But this is not all ; for if We were to take a disc of paper and hold it at a certain distance from the eye, it will cover a hundred *houses placed at the distance of a mile, so that we judge of a body partly by the angle it subtends, end partly by knoeving that a certain space intervenes between us and it. There is another circumstance which will give us some idea of the magnitude of a body —namely, the mnecular motion of the - eye. We find that, the angle subtended by bodies is inversely with the eistance. The degree of illumination of a surface will influence very much our no tion of its magnitude and distance ; it is very well known that a snow clad hill looks nearer to us than one covered with verdure. It receives the light of-the sun and reflects a portion of it into the eye. If an artist represents a globe he makes its centre light and gradually dar kens the remainder towards the circular edge, and the reverse if he iS drawing the concave appearance of a basin, &c. If we see any objects through a fog thi.y appear unnaturally distended. This arises from our misconception of their distance, and our deeming them fur ther off than they really are. This is taken advantage of in eheatricai representations. ganze • screens being stretched across the stage to keep off the light and convey an idea of distance. We do not all of us see objects either of the same colour or of the same size, but our ideas as to size are similar, because we see different objects lir the same relative proportions to each other. It is by no means improbable that a sparrow sees things larger Oran we do, and that it grain of mustard seed would seem to it as large as a globe a loot in diameter. With regard to colours, some persons cannot determine them at all. A gentleman of Mr. Addams's acquaintance could not tell the difference between bright scarlet and green. Dr. Dalton, of Manchester, is afflicted with a similar kind of vision ; he is not able to examine the colour of chemical precipitates, but on occasions of great delicacy is obliged to call in his apprentices to give him the re quisite information: A story is told of his purchasing a pair of scar let stockings instead of drab ones. Some persons see the apparitions of objects when their eyes are closed, although wide awake at the ti me. Mr. Addams instanced several individuals so circumstanced, amongst others a gent! , lan residing at Hull, to whom the most terri ble:and hideous fume: ?eared the moment he lay down in bed and closed his eyes. The only mode of accounting for these waking vi jeees.is by supposing them to he caused by the action of a blood vessel neon the retina so as to put it into a state of vibration. Weare-deceived almost daily with regard to the images of bodies, seeing the , resernblence of things in a direction where the real objects belonging to these, resemblances are not. For instance, when be ll (riding our iinage in a looking-glass we would imagine that some one was placed 'behind the glass, did not reason tell us different. 'When a looking-glass is first shown to a monkey, and even to a sa vage, they look behind it to see whether any being is there. The Imagealways . seems it an 'equal diStance on the opposite side of a looking -glass to that at which we are from the glass, and in a straight direction. This-will apply to the drawing of landscapes in which a sheet of water occurs, as by this rule is is very easy for us to deter- Mine the length of shadow which any tall objeet near the water ought to cast upon its surface. All we have to do is to draw a perpen dicular line from. the base of 'the object into the water equal in length to the object itself, and then the point where a straight line carried from the eye will cut the water in its passage to the lowest portion of 'the perpendicular line will show how far the - shadow of the ob ject should project into the water. If the axis be true in both eyes, they will both of them form a focus at the same point, and every thing placed there will appear as one ; but if the axis of the eye be distorted, two bodies will be seen. This will readily be illustrated by pushing either eye on one side, when we shall see two bodies where we previously only saw one. Again, if we look at our finger when placed near the nose, we see objects doubled at a greater distance ; in this instance the angle described by each eye is different from the focal angle of the objects we see dou ble& If a wafer be put upon a slip of card board, and the card board be placed near the eye, the wafer will appear to separate into two. We may see three images by having two wafers put at the distance of 2 1 inches upon a piece of card board 7 or 8 inches in length if the end of the card is placed near the side of the temple, so that we may look at the card board with both eyes open. The first wafer beeomes dou ble owing to the oblique vision compelling the eyes to shift their axis into a very inconvenient position. We are not unfrequently deceived in looking over an expanse of level water, and suppose that the water rises up an inclined plane as it recedes from us. This we know is not the case, but on the contrary it dips down in a trifling degree the contrary way. This circumstance depends upon the different mag nitude of the angle subtended by the portion of the water that is near to that which is far off. If a line be drawn from the eye to the water that is at our feet, it will ascend as we carry it to the extreme distance of the water; and as the eye ascends in following the line it appears to us that the water itself rises. If we stand at one end of a long gal .. lery the floor will appear to ascend in the distance for the same rea son, and when it reaches the level of a line drawn horizontally from ,the eye, called the point of sight , both these line s become united, and become what' is called the vanishing point. A knowledge of this o:principle enables artists to represent nature in perspective with the "t ; utmost accuracy and truth. Some curious toys are constructed on this principle, namely, that when we look along a flat plane, the sur face appears contracted in every direction as it is at a_greater distance St from' the eye. Coloured representations of objects are painted on `ll:rillkicry,...lp; in every part as they recede, from the end to which l c the spectator applies his eye, when the receding parts being fore shortened, a natural appearance of the object is presented to the eye. e , 'This shows us why in looking at a picture the eye should always tifstrike its plane, and that is the reason pictures hung up at any height i d, are always placed in a sloping position, so that the eye may always 'fall upon them at right angles. 'The eyes of a portrait often appear "" 1 to look ate' person in whatever part of the room he may be, and tsr some persons are so ignorant as to say, it is a ('cry good picture be -I:7c:ruse the eye always looks at the viewer; but we find that the direc tion of the eyes is caused by the direction of the rest of the face. "Thus; if - the nose and mouth should he in one direction and the eyes ee Id a contrary one, everybody will think that the eyes are looking at buty f hen both the eyes and the rest of the face are turned in the same direction, they appear to look at any person but the viewer. This Mr. Addams illustrated by a representation of the human face, '2llre lower pait of whichreould be altered at pleasure, and the direc -'ition of the eyes was shown to depend upon that of the lower portion of, the face., He also exhibited the drawing of a cannon, which ap peared in like manner to he pointed at every observer in whatever pesitiOn it Was placed. Our experience will enable us'to comprehend the rename; of this. We know that it we stand before the mouth of a cannon-mounted upon an axle and wheels, that we see the rims of the wheels and the circular mouth of the cannon, but not the sides of 'the wheels ; correereiently the cannon, being thus represented, ap ' pews side to be directed towards us. In a work which has just been brought out in Paris we have representations of the Elgin mar bles, in which the figures of horses and men appear to be in high re lief, standing - up above the paper when the print is viewed in one di reetion, and to sink in like a. die when viewed in a contrary direc tion. This is effected by the management of light and shade. The engravings are executed by a machine, with curved lines. 'Some of tire optical deceptions to which the eye is exposed are oc casioned in part by the duration of the impression of a certain por tion of light upon the retina for a certain time ; that is to say, if a candle were to be extinguished it would appear to be lighted for a short time after the operation of extinguishing it took place. A star in the heavens might be obliterated and we should see it for a short • time after. Now a body may appear before the eye but a very tran sient period indeed and yet leave a very vivid idea of its likeness on the mind. Mr. Roberts, of Manchester, constructed a wheel, with an opening in it, which allowed an object to appear to the eye for a -• -short period of time—the 30,1000 th part of a second—and yet it was possible to distinguish the form, colour, size, &e. of the object in that limited space. Mr. Addams exhibited this experiment, as well as , another, to prove that the rays of light which fall upon the eye will endure for some time when the object has vanished. A piece of card board covered with white spots, of which four were in the centre and thee•emainder disposed round its.edge, was made to traverse in a cir cular orhlt at the same time that it revolved upon its own axis ; the consequence of this 'Was, - that the foUr central spots appeared as die gored lines shooting 'atross to each other at right angles, and the spots . around the circumference described a number of beautiful curves. For ought we know; there may be bodies of amazing size continually enissing triand fro between us and the rem, for if they travelled at a certain speed we should east be able to see them, and should sustain no visible diminutioneefeighte Several toys are constructed on this ~ principle; in which, on ,lnlfing, through a small aperture, we see a number of figures - hit active iriotion, he.. and a." Parrot being placed on one side of a candle, and a- Parrot cage on the other, the bird appears in the cage during theleniek revolution of the card. A. number of very.beautiiul and carious phenomena are caused by the superposi tion,of one.half of two revolving wheels going with i apidity in diffe rent directions, the cause of which Mr. Addams explained. The phe nomenon was brought under Dr. FarradY's • notice by- -a gentleman • who observed that whilst a pair.of cog wheels were. travelling in op posite directions, the cogs appeared to remain stationary. This lec ture was illustrated throughout with beautiful and appropriate appa ratus and diagrams, by which the above remarks as well as many that we have been'cernpelled to omit, lest they should be misunderstood, were rendered clear and intelligible. ...Pis Wednesday evening Mr. Addams continued. • The, light and dark streaks which are to be perceived in rays of light are occasioned by the interference of undulm, the light ones be "tegehe result of the united waves, and the dark ones that of their op t:Position, whereby the light is destroyed. This was beautifully illus eo,treted by means of a glass cistern of water illuminated from beneath " by a lamp ; two series 'of waves were simultaneously formed in the ' 'cistern with two balls, and. the streaks exhibited on a transparent `llee•seee ee pe we e above the water. Double refraction is caused by all :410 „crystalline bodies, when loOked through in a certain position, in ano _ ere ther po'sit'ion only one body is to be seen. I t is accounted for b y some a Philosophers by supposing the molecules of t he cr y stals and the ether 'LY :fillin g up their intervals, to have different refractive powers so as to • form a double image. The polarization of light is a phenomenon caused by the transmis sion of light 'in such a manner as to cause its total absorption or de struction. Suppose we take a plane piece of glass and reflect light 4 , ,, from it upon another piece of glass at an angle of about 60 degre es. s ,l 6 ; . kf:the second glass is turned, although the angle be the same, the light • fs polarized or destroyed, but if a piece of mica be interposed between ode ; theglasses the light is again visible. Mr. Addams then exhibited and to e e deecribed the various kinds of polaroscopes in use, as well as the po- Zee larizing and depolarizing axes of c r ystals , terminating his lecture with z;tan exhibition of coloured rings and other figures by polarized light. se/ To-morrow evening, Mr. Addams terminates his course, and will ` `"treat upon colours—opacity and tr ans p a rency — absorption of light — I; c: fixed lines of the solar and nitrous acid gas spectra—theories of co l° lourific phenomena—colouring of thin plates—Newtonian rings —re -be" sultant colours and complimentary tints—homogenous light—mono eliie chromatic lamp. TTING.—On Tuesday, at the Pollee-office, a respectable looking inau was charged by luepector Cottain with having been drunk and very disorderiy in the streets she night before'. The inspector said, that, not satisfied with cursing the whole body . of the police, he had called hits " a prig, and such like , " in particular. He accordingly told hint, if he would not put alock ou his mouth, and cease such expressions, he (the inspector) would put a substantial dock on hint. l'ltreats being of no avail, he was obliged to resort to the vi et ariites, and aitig the de fendant a prisoner to Bridewell. Not liking to drag him along the streets, as he was a respectable-looking man, he let hint walk nefore 'aim; but when lie got opposite the Bridewell-door, he "cut." (Laughter.) Defendant : " For elite, I was like." (Continued laughter.) He was mulcted. iu the usual fine of topers and discharged. SHOPLIFTING.-0n Tuesday, at the Police-office, Ann Ri chardson was charged with having stolen certain waistcoat pieces from Charles beat, tailor and draper, Paradise-street. John Newton Gleister, shopinan with the above, stated that on the preceding evening, at ten minutes past five o'clock, the prisoner entered the shop, and requested to be shown some ca-' lico. She ordered him to cut off a small quantity. There were some waistcoat-pieces on the counter which had just been shown to another person. , As lie turned his back to get a measuring -stick, the prisoner snatched up the waistcoat-pieces and darted :out of the shop. He missed them immediately, and ran out in pursuit of her. He overtook her in a few minutes, and saw the goods under her arm. He seized her, but she struggled so vio lently that she broke from him. He pursued 'her into Church st, eel, when she was stopped bypolicesoffieer Shaughnessy, who found the property in her possession, The prisoner was coot 'flitted for trial.- EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—On Tuesday, at the Police-office, Matilda Hunt was charged before the magistrates with having been concerned in the robbery of Mrs.. Sarah Price, wife of William Price, butcher, 'Cleveland-square, of a large sum of mohey-in notes and sovereigns. Mrs. Price stated that at noon on Tuesday last she had placed a Bank of England note for £5O, two ditto for £2O each, and 'a number ,of £lO and £5 notes, to the amount of £145, with two sovereigns, in her purse, the notes in one end and the sovereigns in the other. At three o'clock on that, day she left home, having previously examined her purse and seen that all was correct. She went to a house .in Fraser-street, Islington, where she remained till ten o'clock, when her husband called for her and accompanied her home. She went to her bed room and immediately missed her purse. She ran back to Isling,tim and searched the house of her friend, thinking that she might have dropped it there, but she could not find it.. She gave information at the police-office, describ ing the bills, which were - marked with her husband's initials. Richard Worsley, shopman with Mr. Greasier, Great Charlotte street, stated'that he had received a bill describing the robbery from the police-office. At twelve o'clock en Saturday, the prisoner came there and purchased some lutestrings and other articles which amounted to £3 6s. 71d. She took out two sovereigns and dome silver, but, finding that she had not enough to pay the bill with, she tendered a £5. Witness took it to the other end of the shOp, and, on looking over the notice which he had received from. the police-office, lie found it hed the initials of Mr. Price urns it, in the situation described. Mr. and Mrs. Price both Identified the note. When the witness Worsley asked the prisoner where she had got the note, she said a gentleman had given it to her. She was searched at Bridewell, but the two sovereigns were not found. When ask ed what site had done with them, she teplied that she had not any sovereigns. On her way to Bridewell she informed James Ainsworth, constable, that she had found the note in Bold street. Ainsworth asked her where she lived, and she gave him a false direction. He, however, found, on inquiry, thatshe had been living for some time past with a man, at the Sham rock Tavern, its James-street. The prisoner was committed for trial. hOBBERY UNDER SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCES. — On Tuesday Ainericus Salisbury and Henry Warren were brought up at the Police -court, having been remanded since Saturday last, charged with the commission of a felony, under the following circuit'. stances.—Edmund Simmonds deposed that he was a merchant. His warehouse was situated near the Old Custom-house, and was three stories high. The middle floor he occupied himself, the ground floor and cellar he let off to Mr. Lucas, wine-merchant, and the upper floor to Mr. Salisbury, sailinaker, who had occu pied it for the last twelve months. During the last six months he had missed various articles of property of different descrip tions. There was a common stair through the warehouse to the top room. On Friday, the 23d September, he (witness) had purchased from Messrs. Currie, Wilson, and Co., a box contain ing fifty pieces of muslin, which were placed in his counting house. .'The latter was partitioned off from the warehouse room, from which it was entered by a door, which was never locked. The lid of the box was taken off, and it was left open. About a fortnight ago a gentleman' called to look at the tnuslins, when witness saw that they were all right. On Wednesday last he sold the muslins, and told the purchaser to count th&n before he took them away. The gentleman complied, and counted only forty-one pieces, which Mr. Simmonds, to his surprise, found was all that remained out of fifty which he had purchased. In consequence of this, witness went up stairs to Mr. Salisbury's room. He found Mr. Salisbury there, and also the two priso ners. He said to Mr. Salisbury, in the hearing of the two latter, that he had lost some more goods, and would like, if Mr. Salis bury would permit him, to look among the sails, &c., in his room. Mr. Salisbury acquiesced, and assisted him in the search. In one corner of the room stood an old sofa with its back from the wall. It was covered with old mats and lumber of various descriptions. Mr. Salisbury and he began to remove the things, from this, and had proceeded but a short time when the former pulled ont two bottles of wine exclaiming--" What is here?" On searching further they found upwards of thirty bottles of wine. Witness went down and sent for Mr. Lucas end f'r a police officer. He Proceeded up stairs with the latter, and asked the prisoners where they had got the wine from?-One of them said that be had got it about a month before from the mate of the Vigilant from Surat. The other said this was correct. Mr. Salisbury who was standing near said, " It was not here yester day." Witness gave thgrisoners into custody. He then went `and examined his own warehouse-room. On trying the ceiling with his stick, some of the boards in one corner yielded to the pressure, and were raised up. He then went down accompanied by the policeman to the wine bins underneath, and on examina tion he found that a trap door opened from .the vault into his office. About three or four inches of the partition which sepa rated his office trim the Warehouse room rests upon this trap door, and that part ot the - latter had been broken by its being opened. Witness had occupied the warehouse for above eighteen years but had never been aware of the trap door. He examined the hole that had been made in the floor of Mr. Salisbury's warehouse and found that other ho irds had been placed over .it, and that it was large enough to admit a man through it. His room was seven feet. high, and had no plaister on th- ceiling. Witness went round with a police officer to several pawnbrokers, and at the shop of Mr. Cohen, in Paradise-street, he foundaine piece of muslin which he knew to be one of those which had been taken from the box above mentioned. Police officer Juhn Hailes corroborated those portions of the above statement in which he is alluded to. He further stated that he had made further inquiry among the pawnbrokers, and had found three other nieces of muslin which had been pledged recently at three different shops. Mr. Simmonds identified these also as his pro perty. Mr. •Heury.Colien, Mary Wilson , John W o oll e y , and WWilliam Galway, all pawnbrokers, or their assistants, identified the prisoner Watren, as the person who had pledged the pieces of muslin with them. The evidence as regards the robbery from Mr. Simmonds is complete. On Wednesday this ease was further gone into. Mr. Henry Walker Lucas d9sosed to his father being a wine-merchant, and to his occupying the cellar and ground floor of Mr. Simonds' warehouse in Canning-place. On Friday he was sent for by Mr. Simonds to the warehouse, and on going into his sale-room he was shown 35 bottles of wine. Salisbury said they had got the wine from the mate of the Vigilant, and that it had been smuggled. In consequence of seeing this wine, he went down into their wine bin to examine their stock. According to their books, there ought to be 206 dozen and three bottles in their bin. Two of the bottles found had the word " Lisbon" on the seal of the corks, which was their seal, and he had no doubt whatever but they were his father's property. Mr. J. C. Hill, the clerk of Mr. Lucas, had on the 25th of October, in accord ance with directions he had received, counted the wine in the bin, and found only 161 dozen and four bottles. He had ex amined the bottles found, and he had no doubt whatever hut they were the property of his employers. The prisoner War ren, in defoagc,-said that about the middle of September last he hoisted a sail'by the jigger, and under some straw in the jigger room he found:seven pieces of print; afterwaids, on looking at them, he founstone of the pieces gone. No inquiry was made about them, or he should have told about them. The prisoners were committed to take their trial. COWARDLY AND BRUTAL ASSAULT.—On Wednesday, at the Police-office, a cadaverous-looking Irishman was placed before the magistrates charged with R most cowardly and brutal as sault. A gentleman deposed that he was passing up Crosbie street the afternoon before when he saw two men fighting; he looked about. to see if any policeman was near to separate them, but seeing none he went up and separated them himself. Af ter he had get the men separated, the prisoner went deliberately behind a man who had been looking on, and struck him a vio lent blow apparently with his fist on the side of the neck, and the man fell as if dead. The priioner then as deliberately walked away. He , (witness) followed him and watched him, and shortly he met a man in the street, and asked him if he would assist him to take the prisoner into custody. The man replied, "No, they are .only a parcel of Irishmen;" to which witness replied that he too was an Irishman, but he saw no rea son because of that that a man should be allowed to murder another. Shortly after a policeman came up, and he gave the prisoner into custody. The man the prisonerstruck had not been fighting with him at all. Butter, the inspector, said he .had been' to see the man who was:struck,, and found him very - much injured; his skull was o fractured,.and he was in great danger. Mr. Hall said very great credit was due to the gentleman pre ferring the charge, far his interference. His information was ordered to be taken, and the prisoner was sent back till the evi dence of the injured man can 'be gone into. BituTAr. ASSAULT. — On Wednesday, at the police-office, a dirty cadavereueslooking .young man, named Henry Mercer, was placed before the magistrates charged with having com mitted a most brutal assault on his mother. The mother ap peared with her face bruised in a. most dreadful way, with scarcely a feature distinguishable. The father of the prisoner then stated that the day before his son, who he was sorry should be a son of his, "such a transgress as he was," came to their house, and began abusing and striking his mother. She called witness down stairs, and he endeaseured to protect her, when he began at witness " like on a day's work," and threatened his life, swearing he would murder him, and beat hint also severely. The complainant then dep o s e d to similar facts; that the pri soner began beating her with his fist, like knocking down a bul lock. He first came into the house with a child of his in his arms, and something appeared to have vexed him, and he began " vasperating and crabbing, against her," and. at length beat and abused her in a most dreadful manner, and she had lost be tween a pint and a quart of blood in consequence, and had had to have leeches applied to her face. The prisoner. said, in de fence, that he was drunk at the time, and did not remember anything about it. This was, howeyer, denied by the police man, who took him into custody oh hearing the , noise in the house. Mr. Hall severely reprimanded him on the brutality of, his conduct, and fined him £5 and costs, in default to go fur two months to the Borough Gaol;' and further, to find bail. ASSAULT.—Oa Wednesday, at the police-oflice, a stout, fresh looking Irishwoman, named Ann Platt, appeared before the magistrate to complain that a grievous "'assault and battery" had'been committed upon her by a countryman of her's, named Geo. Neale. The complainant,• addressing the magistrates, said, "Place yer worships, on Saturdhay night wos tree days, 1 met dhis man in London-rod, an' he lives nabur to me, so .sis he widout sayin' anythin' he latocks me down, an I fell on me arm an hurt id very, bad intirely, an' he's olers a doin' dhat same." On being, asked what he h ad to sa y to this the defend ant put himself in an attitude of defant,:e, and then addressing the magistrates, said, " I begs pardon, yer boners, but no sich a thing. I was coming along; opposite 'some liquor vaults, whin this woman sea, "what are you ( loin' there V.' an' she up with her arm, and shoved me back'erd way down, this' fashion, (suiting the action to the word, and nearlyupsetting a 'gentle man who's fortune it was to sit near him, amidst much laugh ter.) 1 axes ver pardon, sir.

INHUMAN BARBARITY OF A MOTHER. —Yesterday, at the Police-office, an interesting - looking child about 8 or 10 years of age, named Ellen Alcock, and who presented an appearance of being much neglected, being dressed in filthy rags, and very dirty, was placed at the bar charged by one of the constables of St. Martin's Market, with having conarnited petty thefts in the market. The policeman stated that it w... , his belief the child was forted_to• it by its • mother; and its ~ack was striped with severe beating from top to bottom, in a most shameful manner. A respectibte looking woman named Gibson here stepped .for watd, and said she lived neighbour to the mother of the child, and the manner she had seen it treated was most disgraceful ; she had seen the mother heat it with a cane till its back was one mass of wreaths, she had seen her burn her, and hold her by the heels with her head in a tub of water, and she herself was living with a man iu the house whilst her husband was out. The child too she had had before she was married. Mr. Hall here ordered the child to be turned round, and its back pre sented a most dreadful spectacle, being red wreaths from top to bottom; one side of its face too, was seared with a severe born. The mother of the prisoner, quite a young woman, here stepped forward, and exhibiting a birch rod, said, " this was the very thing 1 beat her with, I bought it on purpose, and 1 beat her for stealing a penny cake." The witness said the child was taught to steal ; she had told its father, who was a butcher, and lived out of town, id its treat ment, and he had promised to take the child; he made an al lowance to mother for its keep. Mr. Hall said the mother's conduct was disgraceful. From the evidence, she had heat the child, she had burnt her, she had held her in a tub of water, and tied her to the bed-stock. The mother denied this, and behaved in such an unfeeling manner that Mr. Hall ordered her to be placed in the dock, which appeared to have a softening effect. upon her. On its appearing that the mother was a housekeeper, she was liberated on her promise to attend to-day, when the overseer is in attend ance, in order that the child may be placed in the workhouse. On its being told to her that the child would be detained, she squeezed out some hypocritical tears, and falling on her knees in the dock entreated that she might take the child with her. • Mr. Hall, "Oh dear, no; certainly not.; - I shall see the overseer, and get her put into the workhouse." The unfeeling wretch then left the court. A PRETTY COUFLE.—Yesterday, at the police-office, a goad looking female, named Mary .Eaton, stood up to complain against another female, named Elizabeth Crutchley, to whom nature had dealt female charms with a most sparing hand, for having, as she stated, broken the windows of her house the day before. 'l6e complainant said that the prisoner bad come to her house, and created a great disturbance outside, and because she would not let her in she commenced breaking her windows, Prisoner.—" Why your worship she lives with my husband as is separated front- me, and because he's stopped his 'lowacce to the 1 went to his house, and all I said to her was, ' Marv,' says 1, if he keeps you he's like to keep me.' That's all I said ; and I only ,wants my rights your worship." (Laughter.) Com plainant.—" Why, she'd need talk, she's in the family way of her second since she.left her husband." Mr. Hall.—" Wecl,. if she is so, you have taken the husband." Complairiantdrop ping a Curtsey )—" Oh, no, sir, I'm his housekeeper." Pa sower.—" Why, sir, there's only two beds in the house, and his two brothers sleeps iu one bed, and she and him sleeps in t'other. All I did was to go and ax civily what was the reason they 'stopped my supplies.' ." Mr. Hall.—" One seems as bad a..., the other..-Will you promise not to go and create a disturbance against -I let you;.. go Prisoner.—" Oh yes; thank yer ho nour." The prisoner was then discharged,: , . • A DELICATE F.Emai.e.—Yesterday, at the police-office, a respectable-looking female, named Alice Yates, having the ap7 pearance of a respectable mechanic's-wife, appeared to com plain before the magistrates against - another female who was in custody, and who was also very decently dressed, for getting drunk and abusing her- continually. The complainant stated that the prisoner w'as continually getting drunk, and when so, she was in the-habit'of coming and creating a disturbance in the street before her door. Prisoner.—" Oh you woman.; please - your worships that person has illified my character in difficult circumstances, and says I am a common prostitutioner. I defy her to say anything against my character. barring I gets a lit tle drink nows and then; if she can—let her. (Laughter.) I made a confidant of her, and told her a few frivolous things, and that's all she can say agaiest me: (Continued laughter.) - And yer worships, my husband has come home yesterday, and she has-done this to prevent my living with him." Mr. Hall.— In what state was she, officer, when you took her into custody ?" Constable." Back Portland-street, sir." ' (Loud laughter.) Mr. Hall.—" In what state was she ?" Constable.—" Oh; very drunk." Complainant.—" As soon as ever she gets out she will do the same again." Prisoner,-"There's a woman for a neighbour!" (Laughter.)

One of the latter ❑umber has atteinpted to give some colour to his refusal to support Mr. Wright, declaring that he was not, at the time he signed the requisition, acquainted with Mr. Wright's political principles. But, surely, this was as valid a reason for not signing the requisition to Mr. Wright as for not voting for him. Out of this dilemma we - must leave this gentleman to shs t ifie himself as ingeniously as he can. But, when it is added, that the individual referred to has resided in Liverpool for twenty years,•it will appear somewhat strange that he should so long have remained ignorant of Mr. Wright's political cha racter. In addition to the andve ten worthies (though the committee do not desire to see such worth multiplied) the committee beg to state, that the pledges of twenty-three independent burgesses were, fur unexplained reasons, never reieemed. The committee have thought it proper to bring these facts before the public, in order satisfactorily to explain to those burgesses who supported' Mr. Wright, the real cause why that gentleman was not placed in the Town Council. One fact, connected with the election, they cannot conceal, because it is encouraging to the minds of Conservatives, and says to all the membors—persevere. Sixty voters were polled at the present election more than at the pre ceding; and fifty votes were registered for the Conservative interest above the number given at the election of 1835, thus exhibiting in this Ward an increase in Conservative voters over those of Radicals of five to one. 1 am, yours. &c.

Mortimer O'Sullivan. in tnat speech there is the fol- lowing passage : " Remember that this is Mr. O'Connell's account—that it is essential to the Catholic faith to believe it right to murder or to break faith with heretics.' • "'That passage, then, I proclaim to be in all its parts totally false. It is false that I ever gave any such account, neither did 1 ever say or do anything to qualify or palliate the attributing it to me. " Let me conclude with offering this test. This Mr. O'Sul livan says, 'This is Mr. O'Connell's account ?' When? Where? Now did Mx._O'Connell give that account, or say anything to countenance the assertion ? Let him n uswer that question. " If he do not answer it, be thereby admits that he is a ca lumniator and propagator of falsehnod2 It he do answer it, I will have the means of" proving him such." Such is Mr. O'Connell's charge against me, and such his de mand. As von have published them in your journal, I will not allow myself to doubt your willingness to admit my answer also. The passage in the repot of my speech, of which Mr. O'Con nell 'quoted a mutilated extract, is as follows: , " I have said that the Church of Home, when she wanted to corrupt the minds of the English people, sent into England God's Holy Gospel to teach that lesson which God's enemy is ever endeavouring to teach—to teach the principle (and re member that this is Mr.(YConnell's account) that it is essential to the catholic faith to believe it light to murder or break faith I with heretics." Such is the passage from which Mr. O'Connell's extract has been quoted. It contains a reference to very grave charges against the Church of Rome,-and names Mr. O'Connell as a witness, by whom they are corroborated; I proceed to show on what authority. The charges which I preferred against the Church of Rome on account of the publication of the Blemish Testament were two -Ist. That the notes appended to it were intended to excite dis affection iu England. 2d. That they were calculated to teach perfidy and intole rance. Mr. O'Connell has testified to the truth of both. I cite the . acknowledgments contained in the Dublin Review, of which bo is avowedly an editor. The first charge is thus confirmed — "The notes of the New Testament were undoubtedly in tended to prepare the public mind for the invasion meditated by Philip 11., when he projected the schemes of his armada. They were in unison with the celebrated sentence and declaration of Pope Sextus Quintus, which designated Elizabeth as an illegi timate daughter of Henry Vlll.—as an usurper and unjust ruler, who ought to be deposed—and as a heretic and schisma tic, whom it was not only lawful, but commendable to destroy." —Dublin Review, edited by the Very Rev. N. Wi seman , D. O'Connell, and M. J. Quin,'Esq. No. - IL, p, 5 0 5 . So 'ouch for the design of the lthmmish notes. 'What is their character? To this question we have, also, Mr. O'Connell's answer, con - firming the second accusation against his church. "The topic of the Itheimish notes was incidentally brought under their (Catholic Board's) consideration by Mr. O'Connell, on the 3d of December," (1817 1 when he is reported by the Dublin Even ing Post to have spoken of these compositions iu the following terms:— metropolis. Commission signed by the Lord Lieutenant of the county palatine of Lancaster :--2d Regiment of te Duke of Laticas ter's own militia—Joseph Withers, gentle h man, to be Lieut. vice Oglethorpe, resig,ried. DUCHY OF LANCASTER.—The two patent places of receivers for the duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster, held by the late Sir W. Knighton, have been conferred on Sir Henry Wheatley, and Colonel Fox—the former being in the gift of her Majesty, and the latter in that of Lord Holland. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Friday a labourer, in the employ Of Mr. Earle, was working in one of the upper rooms of a ware house belonging to that gentleman, in Lancelot's-hey. He was left alone by his fellows for a few minutes; when they returned they found him lying dead upon a hale of cotton. On a post mortem examination of the body by Mr. Simpson, death was found to have ensued from congestion of the lungs. BODY FOUND.—On Saturday, an inquest was held before James Hayes, Esq. coun ty coroner, at North Meols. near Soutliport, on the bo dy of a Irian, name unknown. The deceased had been washed ashore, and from the a ppearance of the body there is reason to believe that he had been some weeks in the water. He was about 5 feet 7 inches in heig ht ? and his linen was marked with the initials "T. A. The jury returned a verdict of " fonnd drowned." The St. Mungo, Rhyl steamer, sailed from George's pier-head on Saturday last, at half-past 10 in the morning, but owing to the rough-state of the weather did no t arrive at her destination before one o'clock on Sunday afternoon. The captain very prudently put back and anchored at Hoylake. She had on board from 50 to 60 passengers, and rode 011 t the storm most gallantly. r!,.! • At a full assemblage of the Operative Ooniervative Associa tion at Manchester, it was resolved that Mr: Charles Wilkins be respectfully requested to address t h a t- numerous body upon the leading principles of conservatism. We understand that I the learned gentleman has acquiesced, and appointed the even ing of the 2d of December for that purpose , , The following ad.° ditional fact will tend to show in what esteem that gentlemany talents are held by the party whose cause he so ably advocatOsf The dinner of the Operative Conservative Asseciatiou at,'War, , riugton, was fixed for the 10th of this month, b u t finding that Vilkins's professional engagements would prevent his at tendance, to insure, his valuable aid, and to meet his conveni ence, the.dinner is postponed to the 29th, when we have not the least doubt that- the Conservatives of Warrington will muster in full strength. - The Liverpool Protestant AssoCiation have fixed on Tuesdayd next, for their first anniversary meeting. The meeting is a vertised to be held in the Amphitheatre, Great Charlotte -street, and the Rev. R. J. M'Ghee, and the Rev. Mortimer O'Sullivan, ate announced as expected to attend. From the well-known talents of these gentleman, and others of the resident clergy, the meeting is expected to create great, and unusual interest. But, without their valuable aid, we feel well convinced that the cause for which the meeting is convened, for the " maintenance of Protestant principles, and the diffusion of Protestant infoi.- illation," would draw together a firm phalanx of supporters, such as has on more than one similar occasion addorned with its thousands the spacious interior of the Amphitheatre. UNWHOLESOME MEAT.—Yesterday, at the PaliCe-office, an information was laid against John Cheers, butcher, for having. exposed a large quantity of meat for sale, unfit for food. The market leave-looker deposed that the day before, he found the carcase of a beast weighing 3001b5., in the public slaughter house, exposed for sale, belonging to John Chears, butcher, which was unfit for human food. The wife of the defendant appeared, and complained that it was a heavy loss to them. Mr. Hall really thought. that it would be useful to inflict very hea vy fines in these cases, whenever immense quantities of meat were fiiund. The constable said the.husband had been very a busive when they had seized the meat. Defendant's wife. Yes, he was in a great passion at -its being seized, for it is a great loss. He bought the beast alive, and it has turned out worse than was expected.", Mr. Hall—" I must enforce, the law; it.is one of the worst cases which has come before me." The defendant was then fined 20s. and "costs., , - VERY Copt..—A "Traveller," who has just published a work on the "Art of Duelling," among other observations on the " Method of Practice," observes, "Do not omit either,' if you puncture your 'adversary when engaged, to carefully free your sword from any moisture, previous to returning it to the scab bard. I had a beautiful toledo.considerably damaged by the carele.sness of a friend in this respect. During the confusion that necessarily arises upon a orincipal ieceiving the coup de remaining ainingcalm and c cceur i such an acc id en t is very likely. to Occur." A little f urther on, under th e h ea d " P reca utions t o b e observed," he tel ls us, "If, upon th e di sc h arge, hi s a d v e rsar y'a.hall has' taken eff ect, lie must not' b e a l arme d or con f use d, lint quietly submit th e p art to theexamination with his,second th e moment the ,discharge has taken plac•e.

We " calculate " this gentleman would ": . nd some difficulty in putting his theory into practice. REPRESENTATIVE PEER.—The election for a representative l " Peer in the place of , the late Lord Dufferin , cl os e d at twelve r fv.elock l as t night in the triumphant return of Lord,Hawarden„ the conservative candidate, by a majority of fifty-eight over all Lord Li smore, the nobleman set up and su pp orted by the go ',vernmeut. The number of writs returned to the Clerk of the Hanaper stood thus:—For Lord Hawarden. 86; for Lord Lis wore, 28;' majority, 58.—Dublin Evening Mail." r_~ ~ ;{,~ -'""~f ~~~~ Y -2 " He owed it to his religion, as a catholic and a christian—to his country us an Irishman—to his feelings as a human being — to utterly denounce the damnable doctrines contained in the notes to the Rheimish Testament. He was a catholic upon principle —a steadfast and sincere catholic, from a conviction that it was the best form of religion ; but he would not remain so one hour longer, if he thought it essential to the profession of the cath lie faith to believe that it was lawful to murder pro testants, or that faith might be innocently broken with heretics. Yet such were the doctrines laid (town in notes to the Rheimish Testament.—Dublin Review, No. IL, p. SW. Such is Mr. O'Connell's character of the Rheimish annota tions. The result Of his unsuccessful effort to produce a dis claimer of them, might not uncharitably be adduced as indicating the character of his church. The "Catholic Board" refused to disavow them, adopting, as an amendment to Mr. O'Connell's motion for a disclaimer, "That a committee be appointed to prepare an address on the occasion of the re-publication of the Rheimish notes, with a view to have the same submitted to an aggregate meeting."—Dublin Eveniiiq Post, Dec. 6, 1817. The Roman Catholic Bishops declined to disavow them, Dr. Troy, in order to avert Protestant indignation (as Mr. Covne testifies) prohibiting them to the diocese of Dublin, while his ecclesias tical brethren recomtneded them to their " subjects" in every ev e T . other part of Ireland—so unavailing were Mr. O'Co nnell deavours—so uucousequential his quarrel with the instruments for teaching "damnable" doctrine. The Church of re ited Mr. Rome has neither renounced the Itheimish notes , O'Connell's allegiance. Ido not inquire whl:°y.r It)f is sufficient for me, d fficient pronasc for the present to have answered the qes and to leave with iny accuser to ilecidenu,n)o°lthe manner, whe ther in silence or in .storrn, in which be will make confession of having done toe wrong, t nos ,v,.r.

LYMINGTON, Nov. I. . . Messrs. C. Ender, T. Gesell, J. Skeats, and H. Figg, the conservative candidates, have been this day re-elected council lors of this borough. GUILDFORD, Nov. 1. The conservatives of this town obtained another triumph to day, on the occasion of an election of four members of the town-council, the numbers at the close of the pull being as fol loss: . - CoNsaavaTtvEs.—Mr. Palmer, 198; Mr. W. Lockwood, 183; Mr. W. King, 173 ; Mr. W. 11. Slater, 172. WHIG-RA DICA LS.—Mr. Nichols, 116; Mr. Filmer, 102; Mr. C. Foster, 92; Mr. G. Austen, 86. Messrs. Palmer and Slater were conservative members of the town-council, and have been re-elected, while the only two ra dical members of that bOdy have been rejected. The whole of the four conservatives who are now elected, were members of the old corporation previous to the municipal reform act. DOVER, Nov. 1. At oar municipal election, held this day, the conservatives have nobly done their duty, notwithstanding the utmost exer tions and influence used by some of the government officers, particularly one of the principals of the ordnance department, in favour of the self-styled liberal candidates; and this, too, in the.face'of the investigation instituted by the governtneni itself after the last municipal election, into the conduct of some of their officers here who were charged with undue influence on behalf of the then conservative candidates, but of which they were honourably acquitted. It remains to be seen whether the same inquiry will now be made. The result of the election is as•follows": . • CASTLE WARD.--Mr. William Moroll, (cortservotiye,) 141; Mr. G. El. Loud, (conservative,) 143; Mr. Edward Knocker, (radical,) 125; Mr. James Walker, (radical,) 113. TOWN WARM—Mr. W. H. Pavn, (moderate,) 190; Mr. John Porbrooke, (conservative,) 169; Mr. J. A. Walker, (ra dical,) 166; Mr. Robert Barton, (conservative,) 144. I PIER WAnn.—Mt. Daniel Nazer, (conservative,) 161 ; Mr. Edward Seward, (conservative.) 156 ; Mr. Thomas Birch, (ra dical,) 143; Mr. James Worsfuld, (radical,) 130. COLCHESTER, Nov. 1. The Conservative cause is triumphant in our town. The whole of the Candidates elected as Councillors are Conserva tives. We have three wards, and there were two to be elected for each ward. The following is the poll: . FIRST WARD.—Cooke, 293; Smith, 266; Brown, 212; Havens, 177. SECOND WARD.—Mills, 202; Grimwood, 200; Scott, 145; Hubbard, 110. THIRD WAtin.—Wolton, 225; Harrington, 220; Bloom field, 168; Barker, 152. TEWKESBURY, Nov. 1. At the election of Town-councillois, this day, the Conserva tives nominated were,—T. Vernon, N. Chandler, W. Moore, and H. Brydes. The Whigs proposed for re-election the four individuals win) had just retired from the Council,—viz., W. Skeavington, M. Martin, J. Smith, and G. Watson. And at the close of the poll, at four o'clock, the numbers stood thus : Moore, 146; Vernon, 111; Chandler, 114; Brydges, 142; Martin, 141 • Watson, 141 • Smith, 138; Skeavington, 125. In Decem:ber last, the "Whigs succeeded in returning all they nominated, whilst the Conservative who was highest on the poll stood 37 under the lowest of the 12 persons who were elect ed. In July last, each party nominated two, when the Conser vatives succeeded in returning both their friends. From the termination of the above contest, it appears, that the Town-council is now equally divided,—there being eight Conservative Councillors and eight Whigs. PRESTON. The eledtion of councillors for the different wards of this borough excited a very considerable degree of interest. The wards were strongly contested, and, the town on Monday and Yesterday presented all the appearance of a parliamentary elec. lion. In Trinity ward the three candidates were Mi. William Holmes, C. J• Seger, Lsq , barrister, and Clayton, Esq., banker; the last of whom is a conservative. The most indefa tigable efforts were used by t he friends of Mr. Clayton to secure hisrreturn,,but he took no active interest in the election him . s eif,:yet consented to serve if chosen. Early yesterday morn ing several bands of music, accompanied with flags and banners bearing different devices, paraded the town ; and the friends of the 'respective parties commenced active operations.—lu Fish wick ward the candidates were Messrs: Shaw, Threlfall, Horn, and Blackhurst.—lu Christ Church ward, Messrs. Brown, Leech, Noble and Arkwright. In Sr. John's ward, Messrs. IL :.Park, Jackson, Leece and Wilding. In St. George's ward, Jildessrs. Jno. Park, Armstrong, Donson and '-lumber--and in 'St:; Peter's ward, Messrs. Stevenson, Crankshaw, Park and Mat:gison. = lus political sentiment the candidates were about equally divided, and party spirit was unquestionably the feeling of all interested. Up to twelve at noon no disturbance of ma wrist consequence , took place, excepting a slight skirmish be tween two opponent parties in John -street, where missiles were ip plentiful requisition. It passed off, however, with a few broken windows.and the closing of some of the shops. In St. George's ward Messrs. Park and Armstrong were the popular ' candidates throughout the election. The following is the result of t he election at four .o'clock TrinityWard—Messrs. Clayton and Segar. Fisbwick Ward—Messrs. I-forn and Blackhurst. St. George's Ward—Messrs. Jno. Park and Armstrong. Christ Church Ward—Messrs. Brown and Leech. St. Peter's Ward—Messrs. James Park and Margison. St. John's Ward—Messrs. Leece and Jackson.

Stß,—My object in addressing you, is to call, through the medium of your valuable columns, the attention of the proper authorities to the shameful state of a portion of Park-street, Park-road, in which are four unfinished houses, known as " Jerry built." They are now in a very dangerous state, hav ing for a length of time been going to decay, and as a part of them fell during the last winter, I am anxious that the annoy ance should be remedied before the return of that season. The pathway in front of them is also very dangerous, the areas re maining open and entirely unprotected, myself and neighbours being constantly obliged to warn our friends to keep in the middle of the street for safety. We are now within the borough of Liverpool, vet have not a single lamp in the whole street, although rated very . high for lighting. This inconvenience is much felt by a portion of the congregation of the church of St. John the Baptist, who are in the habit of coming out at the north gate in Park-street. I suggest a lamp should be placed as near as possible to this en trance, consistently with the arrangement which may be made for their distances from each other. By the bye I observed in your paper of Tuesday last, the Town-clerk decided in the council that the inhabitants of West Derby hail no right to pay for lights if they had them not. 1 consider the same remark applies to Toxteth Park.
