The wording of this return shows, beyond dispute, the object of the loan. It was, as we have said, to keep the Irish Protestant Clergy from stars-. ing for want, on account of the non-payment of their law ful and just due. Nnw mark both the meanness and iniquities of Whig ger.Y. .In the list of persons who have fingered this fund are found the names of landlords of all sorts and sizes ; of Roman Catholic tithe-owners, to wit, RONAYNE, SHELL, BARRON, LALOR: Lord SoUTHWELL, a Popish Absentee, h as the meanness to pocket £35; Lord Essr.x, a Whig Absentee, takes £B2; and the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, another Whig Absentee, and a great supporter of justice to irelind,' grabs the comfortable slice of £3,440. Sums of various amount have fallen to the lot of Lords SHAN NON. MEATH, DONOUGHMORE, HEADFORT, LISMoRE, CAREW, DILLON, &c. There are also several Conserve tive Noblemen who have stretched out their hands for a share of the spoil, namely, Lords NORBURY, DOWNSHIRE, and Vksct. But these latter impropriators, as the Times observes, are not inconsistent, if blameable, as they, un like the others whose names we have quoted, bring no charge against the Clergy for vindicating their rights; nor do they hypocritically swell the clamour against the tithe system while in the act of holding out their hands to benefit by it. But what are we tii say of a Government that permits s uch unwarrantable " appropriations ?" We confess that We. have not words to express what we feel on the sub ject. We expect from the men in power a strong hos ttlity against the Church; but we did not expect to see t hem wind it in practices which are a thousand times more disgraceful than robbery on the highway. In this ca se.the:nation is plundered on the one hand, and the e lergy on the other; for while the Duke of DEVONSHIRE Was fribbli ng away hi s £3 , 440 i n t h e purc h ase o f t o y s at Faris, or on ices and foreign fiddlers in London, many a meritorious Clergyman and his innocent family were wholly dependent for subsistence on the hand of charity• riot having been able to obtain one farthing of the Par liamentary Million.

This lady has a voic e of Rte, lt s weetness; an d o f considerable power and execution; she l k h a o t a ver y good actress, but she is a pretty woman, and that, t i f ch arity, in au actress, is the cloak for a multitude of faults. h - 1 1.8 * Cl ar k e, as Miss Deborah Woodcock, an ancient maiden, "qed with considerable talent.

AN A*KIVAIID PREDICAMENT.---011 F-taturday, at the Police, otTice, a female named Jane Hart, the keeper of a house of ill fame, was brought before the magist'rates under an assault warrant, charged with violently as.,atilting and tearing the hair of another female, named Jane Williams. Mrs. Williams stated, that on the Wednesday before, she met the prisoner as she was going home to her good man, with 3lbs. of potatoes, .when she (the prisoner) came up to her, got hold of her by the breast, and struck her very violently. She then got hold of her hair, and tore large handsfulls off, (which complainant pro duced as proof pos. to the court) " in a very unproper manner," and " called her names not fit to be mentioned.' A fruit girl came forward, and corroborated this statement as to the assault by the prisoner. The prisoner, who was encie'ste, and appeared very near her confinement, admitted the assault, but said that she had first been struck in the mouth with a door key, by the com plainant. Complainant.—" Oh, she's of a desperate set." Mr. Hall. "We think you ought to be punished ; are you near your time ?" Prisoner, " Yes, sir, very near." Mr. Hall.—" Have you any money to pay a fine ?" Prisoner.H No sir." Mr. Hall.—" Well, your confinement won't be for some days yet ?" Prisoner.—" I don't know, sir." Mr. Hall. Well, Batcheldor won't much like his birth. He can give you plenty of clean straw. You are so violent we cannot let you go without punishment. We should have inflicted a much heavier punishment on you, but in consideration of your con dition we shall not. You must pay ss. and costs, or be impri soned for seven days. A female in court paid the fine for the pri soner, butcould not keep her tongue still ag,ainst the complainant, who appealed to the magistrates, and said she was afraid of her. She was, in consequence, placed in the dock in the place of her friend, and remanded till Monday, whilst her freind walked out. OBTAINING GOODS UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.—On Tues day, at the Police Office, two men, named Richard Lloyd and Peter Williams, were placed before the magistrates, charged with having obtained a quantity of bacon and some hams from Mr. Devine, bacon and flour dealer. Mr. Devine stated that he had been in the habit of supplying Mr. George Hartley, ba ker, of Seacombe, with flour and bacon on his written order, and the prisoner Lloyd had been in Mr. Hartley's employment, and had frequently come.to his shop for flour, &c. Ou Monday he came to his shop, and said Mr. Hartley wanted two hams, and a piece of bacon, but that he had not got an order for them, as his master was in a hurry. He brought the other prisoner (Williams) with him to help him to carry the bacon. He let them have what was asked for, altogether worth £3 18s. Im mediately afterwards he suspected that all was not right, and went after the prisoners, and caused them to be detained till he ascertained whether Mr. Hartley had sent them. Mr. Hartley sent hiin word that he had Lloyd discharged on the Saturday. He then gave both into custody. Mrs. Margaret Williams said that the prisoners came into her public-house, and had some ale; they had some bacon and hams, and offered to sell them to her, but she refused to have anything to do with them. Mr. Hartley laid that he had discharged the prisoner Lloyd on Sa turday, arTttc , to his bad conduct. The magistrates discharged Williams, and ordered the informations for the commitment of Lloyd to be taken. A TRUSTY SERVANT.—On Tuesday, at the Police-office, two girls named Mary Jones and Eliza Davis, were placed be fore the magistrates, Charged with having robbed the house of Miss Holland, in Clarence -street, of 14 sovereigns and some trinkets. Miss Holland stated that she left her house on Mon day afternoon for the purpose of going from home to remain until Wednesday, and left the house in charge of her servant until her return. Next day, however, she was sent for home on account of the house having been robbed. She found that 14 sovereigns had been taken by some person from a drawer in her bed-room, and, also a ring, some coral, and a brooch. The servant, who appeared quite a girl, said that on her mistress going from home she invited Eliza Davis to come and take tea with her, and showed her over the house. She kept asking her a great number of questions, till she (the servant) thought ,she was very routine, and would not reply to them. They then went down stairs and got tea, and afterwards agreed to go to the theatre. Before going Davis kept telling her to mind and look all round' for fear any person should get into the house. She (Davis) then got some matches and placed them on a chair, and said they would be ready when they came in. When they got into the theatre, Davis told her that she wanted to go and see Mason, such a handsome hackney-coachman that stood in the square, and she was to keep her seat for her till she came back. She then went out and stopped an hour bef ore s h e returned; this w a s a bout nine o'clock. She then remained till they left the theatre together at eleven o'clock. She had given the key to Davis to carry as she had no pocket on and Davis had. On getting , near home Davis told her to take the key as her pocket string was broken. She then went and opened the door. On going into the house and finding that it had been en tered she became quite frightened, and wanted to call the police, but Davis said " Oh no don't, you will be taken up." They then went up into the mistress's room, and Davis said, " See here is a drawer out," stooping down, and " here is the matches," whilst it was quite dark and she herself could see no thing. They both slept in the house that night, and in the morning Davis said to her " Don't you tell you have been at the play, and I will get your little sister to say the house was robbed while she was in it." Lloyd, the constable, said he had taken Jones up on suspicion having found her in company of Davis. None of the money had been found. But the coral had been found in the possession of Davis. Davis, in defence, corro borated the statement of the servant girl as to the tea-dri n ki ng and going, to the play, but said that afterwards the servant went along with herself to a disorderly house with some sailors. A female, who lives opposite to Miss Holland's, said that about nine o'clock on Monday evening she saw a girl whom she thought was Miss Holland's servant enter the house; she took a key from her pocket and opened the door. It was dusk, and she could not tell exactly whether it was the servant or not, but she was about her size. She was dressed in a light dress with sleeves almost as big as herself, and she made a remark about it, wondering that Margaret would dress in such sleeves. The servant girl said that was the description of dress which Davis wore on Monday night. The magistrates discharged Jones as there was no evidence affecting her. Davis was remanded till Mason, the handsome hackney coachman, could be sent for to ascertain if he had had any baud in the robbery. GAMING HoUSES.—INFORMATION.—Yesterday, Mr. Robert Lucas, of the Carriage Repository, in Great Charlotte-street, appeared before Mr. Hall to answer an information laid by Mr. Whitty, and Mr. Parkinson, for having converted his reposi tory into a gaming4iouse. Mr. Whitty deposed to having gone along with Mr. Parkinson to the carriage repository in Great Charlotte-street, on Tuesday night last, and finding the carri ages had been removed, and the establishment divided into three compartments, the whole elegantly fitted up. One of the compartments was fitted up for the purpose of an entrance-hall, and the others as gambling rooms, for playing at hazard and reuloo. A number of gentlemen were playing in the rooms at these games, with dice-boxes, and money was lying on the table, which he saw lost, and won, and paid. The repository was in the occupation of Mr. Lucas, and he had seen carriage; ' in it the last week. Mr. Parkinson corroborated this statement. Mr. Waring, solicitor, appeared on behalf of the defendant. He did not deny the charge, but produced a lease of a part of the premises which had been granted by Mr. Lucas to two persons named Henry Oldfield, and Samuel Backhouse Lay cock, bearing date 10th July, 183.3, for the rooms for betting, and for settling accounts after the races, at the two meetings held at Aintree. In the lease, clauses were introduced specially pro viding that the rooms should not be used for any purpose, em ployment, business, or proceeding which the magistrates had the power to cause to be discontinued Mr. Waring said, that in the event of Mr. Hall decidinc , that he had the power to cause the proceedings carried on in those rooms to be discon tinued, Mr. Lucas would take care to carry into effect the provisions of the lease, and prevent their occupying the pre mises after the present races. After some deliberation it was agreed that the present proceedings should be staid, Mr. Lucas undertaking that he would not allow the parties to continue in possession after the _present laces, when they had once vacated the premises. Mr. Hall remarked that the lease was admirably drawn up for the purposes of connivance, if wished. Mr. Whitty begged to state that he came forward to lay the infor mation on public grounds, merely because he considered it his duty, and not from any animosity to Mr. Lucas, whom he believed to he a very respectable man. Mr. Hall said, that so far as Mr. Whitty was concerned, he had only done his duty. Mr. Waring said, that neither Mr. Lucas nor any of his family were ever in the rooms. The parties then left then court. A Goon GOING WATCH.—Yesterday, at the Police-office, an old man, named Thomas Ashton. who keeps a cook-shop in Marybone, appeared to charge a well known thief, named Thos. Lockart, with stealing his watch. The complainant stated, that a few days ago, in the evening, the prisoner came to his shop to buy a veal pie, and gave him 6d in pay for it. He turned round to get change from the till, when the prisoner snatched at his watch, which he had just been winding up, and setting a-going, and placed on the counter, and bolted out of the shop with it. He immediately ran after him, but being an old man, the watch and the prisoner went faster ihan he could, and kept going till both were out, of sight. He gave informa tion to the police, and the prisoner was afterwards stopped with the watch in his possession, Batcheldor said, that the prisoner had only the day before the robbery come out of Kirkdale. The informations for his commitment were ordered to be taken. AN IRISH MODE OF SETTLING ACCOUNTS. Yesterday, at the Police-office, an Irishman and his wife, named Daniel and Mary Sullivan, each bearing all the characteristic traits of the lower orders of Irish, sufficiently well known to need description, were placed before the magistrates, charged, with having committed a most outrageous assault on a sailor, and broken his leg. Inspector Lyon said, that the night before, be tween ten and eleven o'clock, he was in Wapping, when he heard that a man had had his leg broken by the prisoners; he gleaned what evidence he could and took both prisoners into custody. The injured man was laid on the flags insensible, and he had him conveyed to the Infirmary. His leg was broken in three or four places, and the surgeons were of opinion they „should be obliged to amputate it, and could not give a decided Opinion till next day. A boy came forwards and said that he Witnessed the whole transaction. The injured an was a sailor and had just come ashore, and had left his clothes and some property with the prisoners, with whom he had lodged last voy age ; they could not tate bun in again, and he wanted his pro perty and his account settling. The female p r i soner on l y was i n at the time, and s h e denied that she owed the sailor anything, or had any property of his. He could make nothing of her and was leaving the house, when she said "she would settle with him," and seized a piece of iron, used as a poker, and struck him a violent blow on the shoulder with it, and he turned round and struck her again. She, however, teat him so with the iron that she beat him out of the house, and as soon as he got into the street the husband came up, seized the iron, and inflicted the injuries stated on the sailor; both the prisoner and his wife were on him at once, and his leg was beat almost to a jelly. The case was remanded till this day to await the doctor's certificate. A TEE-TOTALLER !—Yesterday, at the Police-office, a young man named John Edwards, having his mouth and nose swelled up with fighting, and, apparently, !just recovering front a de bauch, but who, in the improved modern diction, had been passing the evening at a tee-totalling tea party, was placed before the magistrates, charged with having, the night before, behaved in a most riotous and intemperate manner in the street, and created a great disturbance, and afterwards with assaulting and ripping open the trousers of a policeman with a knife, who en deavoured to take him into custody. Policeman No. 97, said, that he found the prisoner in Lime-street creating a great dis• turbance and having a crowd around him. He attempted to take him into custody, when he drew a knife and ripped up his trousers and inflicted about two shillings worth of damage on them ; he succeeded in wrenching the knife from him and taking him into custody. The prisoner said he was a journeyman mattress maker, and got into a row. It appeared that he was a member of the tee-total temperance society, and was one of the procession of the day before; he afterwards adjourned to a temperance coffee-house to enjoy a little rational conversation, when he became a "little elewated" from the abundance of Souchong beverage, or something stronger, which he had im bibed. The magistrates lined him fifteen shillings and costs, or to be committed for fifteen days. INFORMATION AGAINST A GIN PALACE.—Yesterday, at the Police-office, Mr. Penilington who keeps a gin palace in Scot land-road, appeared to answer to an information laid against hiili by Inspector Irwins, fir permitting drunkenness in his l'kuuse. M. IVilkinson, the balmier, appeared on behalf of the defendant. Imins said that there were 15 women in the place alt drunk, and 20 men, most of them drunk ou Tuesday last. l'hev were leaning against and supporting each other on the After letiperesr-exatanrathm i the witness said he iii -.f..iViiPooL-fAKbAiib. would:swear there were many of them drunk for he saw them stagger. A policeman corrobo►ated this statement. Mr. Wil kinson .conteuded,.that considering the neighbourhood, and the largeness of the establishment, the conducting of it had been most exemplary, and this was the first information. He called Mr. Pendlington's foreman, who deposed that drunken men were never served with liquors, nor were parties allowed to re. main lung. As many as 300 (!) would pass through in an hour. Mr. Hall said fie thought the evidence as to the drunk enness fully proved, though it was difficult to ascertain in this county what was drunkenness. He should fine the defendant 20s. and costs, as it was laid as a first offence. IMPORTANT TO CAPTAINS AND OWNERS OF VESSELS.— Yesterday, at the Police•oice, an application was made by Captain Nagle, of the ship Heyes, .bound for Barbadoes, for a warrant against his crew, for refusing to work on board his ship after having signed articles. Captain Nagle sail that tne men had signed articles three days before, and he was ready for sea and lying in the river waiting for a wind, and they now refused to do seamen's work. His present application was for a warrant to compel them to do so. Mr. Hall said the applica tion was made too soon ; he had only power to act when the crew refused to work the vessel; iu the present application this was not the ease, as he was waiting for a wind and could not sail. • Captain Nagle said it was a very hard case, for if a fair wind were now to arise, he could not proceed to sea, because the men would not woe k, and he might in consequence be de tained a length of time; - and though the men had signed arti cles, it would be of no use to him. Mr. Hall replied that he could not act otherwise as the law stood. Captain Nagle in quired if he were now to order the men to weigh anchor and they refused, could he then obtain a warrant ? Mr. Hall replied that even in that case he must be satisfied it was the captain's intention to proceed to sea and that he was not trying it as an experiment, otherwise he could not act. .As the case now stood he must refuse the application. HARVEY AND O'CONNELL. About a fortnight ago Daniel Whittle Harvey took the sulks and threatened to resign. His radical supporters, however, would not have it so, and they called a meeting, at which the learned member attended, when he declared, to the astonish ment of the meeting, " that he would remain, with - their per-, mission, member for Southwark to the end of his life." Long may he live, and long may the unwashed of that borough honour such a man with their confidence, and he in return do them the like by representing . thern. Honest Daniel Whittle! The fol lowing hit at O'Connell is admirable. It is taken from Mr. Harvey's speech:— " The whip press hail been the foremost in throwing out in sinuations against his motives in the offer of his reswnation. They said he was actuated by mercenary motives, and that he used the time merely as an adjunct to his intention of once more going into that profession in which he had been brought up. He could not see any harm in telling his constituents, when leaving, what means he intended to take for making up those losses to which he had been subjected during a long life of poli tical persecution. What harm could there be in telling them that he intended to follow an honest and honourable.protession. ; that he was going to earn his support by the work of his hands and the head with with which Providence had endowed him, so that he might neither be a pensioner on his country, or a mendicant." (The rest of the sentence was drowned in cheers.) " Neither a pensioner on his country, nor a mendicant."—: Granted. But the other Daniel is both. • - THE GRECIAN SALOON. At the adjourned Quarter Sessions for this county, held' at Kirkdale, the appeal" Shaw against the Liverpool MagiStrates," came for decision on Friday, before the Rev. Jonathan' Brooks, Chairman, and a tolerable full bench of magistrates. Mr Wilkins - appeared as Counsel for the appellant. Dr. Brown, in stating the respondent's case, said, that notwithstanding the notice of appeal had not been properly entered, and was informal in other respects, ithad been agreed that the case should be heard, and that the inquiry should be confined to one simple- point, whether the offence cotnininitted by Mr. Shaw was an offence against the tenor of his license. He was the landlord of a li censed house first called "The Letters," but which had since been changed to the title of " Grecian Saloon," situate at the corner of Dawson-st reet, Williamson-square The conviction was made by Messrs. Hall and Harvey, two of the Liverpool Bo rough Magistrates, under tha provisions of the 9th Geo. IV. cap. 61, sec. '2l, which authorized them in the case of a party offend ing against the tenor of their licence, having been previously convicted within the period of three years, to convict in the sec ond case, in any penalty not exceeding £lO. In this case the • fine had been mitigated to £5. The charge against the appellant was that of knowingly suffering persons of bad character to con gregate together in his house, and that he (the learned counsel) should be able to prove .beyond contradiction. On the night in question one of the new police inspectors went into Mr. Shaw's house, which was divided into three divisions, intended for the • accomodation of different classes, according to the money they t h d a rtawn room up, there a and t In had to spend. In one division, called " Grecian Saloon," a wassitiaegne co mmenced fortned,ani•iiittliis musical p rol e ) l s i c: r i m i e, an w e h e i . ch was were 18 females of notoriously bad character. In another room, called the "Shades," were ten women. The performances there were of an inferior description, being liinitett to the piano-forte. The third department was called the "Saloon," and in that were twelve females, making altogether forty in number, who had been at different times seen going out and in, and were known to the police as disorderly women. Inspector Bradshaw and a police constable, named Murphy, proved the case against the respondent as stated by Dr. Brown: The first witness stated that he visited the Saloon at a quarter to eleven o'clock on the night of the 26th of April last, and that Shaw was serving in the Grecian Saloon, and one of his sons in another department. In his cross-examination he admitted that he had received ten shillings from the Watch Committee as his part of a fine of twenty shillings levied upon a publican. That he had in all the convictions upon his evidence received a moiety of the .•fine. He did not expect any part of the fine in this case, as some new regulations had been issued within the last three or four days or a week. He did not expect a farthing at the time the infor mation was laid, although he got a moiety of the penalty under Mr. Shaw's previous conviction. He knew the women to be dis orderly characters by their dress, and their manner of walking up and down the streets. For the appellant it was contended, that the corporation had held out a temptation to their officers to commit perittry,.hy giv ing them a share in the amount of penalties recovered upon in formations which had to be supported by their evidence. It was also alleged that as the place was intended fir the relaxation of sailors and their sweethearts, and any person visiting the theatre wishing to have a glass of wine or brandy and water, the same law ought to be dealt out to the appellants' as to others, and the magistrates would sa) that the evidence of the police inspector as to the gay dress of the females was not a proof of the appel lant knowingly harbouring bad characters in his house, cont rary to the terms of his license. The Court, after ten minutes consultation, dismissed the appeal with costs. A TRIBUTE OF ESTEEM TO A CLERGYMAN OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. On Wednesday, the 20th instant, the members of St. Ste phen's congregation, Liverpool, through the medium of the wardens, presented their minister, the Rev. Jacob Picton, with the following token of their esteem, viz., a full set of robes, a silver salver, and cup. On the plate is engraven the follow ing inscription : " Presented to the Rev. Jacob Picton, A.M., minister of St. Stephen's, Liverpool, this salver, together with a cup, and full set of robes, by the members of his congregation, as a small token of their esteem for his unwearied atten c t h io u n mh to wa th rd e e d n u s. ties 11 of his office. '6 G. . COMA:SS. 11. STUDHOLII, " July, 1836." On the acceptance of the present the reverend gentleman thus replied:—" Gentlemen, (and through you I speak to the rest of my congregation,) you have this day imposed upon me the performance of a most gratifying, but at the same time most difficult duty, viz., that of suitably thanking you for this exhibition of your generous and affectionate regard towards me. But I cannot express to you the gratitude I feel for so unde served and unexpected a token of your esteem. It is a token of esteem which I shall always highly prize, not so much, how ever, for its intrinsic value as for those kind and generous feel ings which suggested it; and if any thing can render it still snore valuable to we, it is the firm persuasion of your decided and heautfelt attachment to those great and consolatory truths of the glorious gospel of the blessed God which it has been my privilege and happiness from time to time to publish amongst you. May that attachment continue! May those truths be for ever blessed to' you .and yours! Gentlemen, once more I beg most cordially to thank you for this most gratifying testi mony of respect, and assure )ou that I shall ever view it with the liveliest feelings, 'of gratitude to the latest moment of my existence." TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STAND4RD. SIR,—I wish you would be kind enough to inform your read ers whether it is the intention of the Conservative Society to open any office where their friends may receive forms and ad vice respecting the registration ? The radicals have kept their office open, and have been actively registering their adherents, while the friends of conservatism are totally at a loss where to obtain the most trifling information. R. G. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL S'T.4ND.IRD, Sir,—There is an extreme charity abroad at present with re gard to the doctrines and principles of the church .of Rome. The self-named liberals of the'day strenuously insist, in 4- spite of her own oft asserted claim to infallibility, that she is a changed—an improved church, and that leis unjust to charge her with the persecuting spirit of days gone by. Whatever ig norant protestants may say for her, we know that no member of the church of Rome will or dare say that she is changed or improved; for, by such a concession, he strikes a deadly blow at her infallibility, without which she could not exist. It is by her assumed infallibility that she is enabled to enslave the minds and the consciences of her ignorant and wretched de votees, and in their estimatitm, what she has been, she still is, and ever must be. By her infallibility she is pledged to be a persecuting church, and it is not to her altered decrees on prin ciples that the faggot, the gibbet, or the dungeons and the In quisition are less in request now than formerly for the punish 'trent of protestants, but solely to her want of power. The li beralism of the day stupidly offers in reply, that all churches have persecuted when they had the power. This is not true, but were it so, I know of no church who ever put forth a perse cuting hand, but what had long deplored and denounced all such acts, with the exception of the church of Rome, and she never has, nor can she without proclaiming herself. fallible. To whatever extent protestants may have persecuted, it can never be attributed to the principles of their religion, btit evi dently ought to be ascribed to their imperfect reformation from popery, and to the nearness of the time when it reigned ram pant, and gave so many flaming and exalted examples. • T. shall feel obliged if you or any of your readers can furnish me with or direct me where, I shall find a list of the English authors that have a place in the Index Expurgatorius, my ob ject, more particularly, is to ascertain what, if any, of our his torical writers have been so anathematised. Yours respectfully, J. M. IC July 20, 1836. THEATRICALS.—Mr, Flynn, the manager of the New York National Theatre, has' been in England some time forming en gagements with most of the principal corps dramatique of the English stage, and is about returning to America by the Co lumbus, now lying in the Prince's Dock, having engaged the following stars, several of wh om accompany him : —The navel family, (consisting . of twelve perrons,) Miss Shir reff. Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Honey, Mr. Macready, Mr. Forrest (the celebrated American actor.) Miss Clifton, Mademoiselle Celeste, Mr. Booth, Mr. James Wallack, Mrs. Watson, (late Miss Wells,) Miss Watson, Mr. Charles Howard, (from Madame Vestris's Theatre,) Mr. Mitchell, (from the Strand Thentre,) Mr. Plumer, (from Braham's Theatre,) Mr. James Wallack, jun., with a numerous and highly-efficient company. We un derstand thet Mr. Flynn has made an offer to Mr. Stuart, of the Liverpool Theatre, of a permanent engagement, for twelve months, at a salary of £25 a week, and a clear half benefit, but which that gentleman has declined accepting. . . LIVERPOOL JULY. ItACP.IS.Finsr DAY (LORD STANLEY AND WILLIAM BLUNDELL, ESQ. STRAY:Inns.) These races commenced on Tuesday last. The weather in the morn ing proved most inauspicious, the rain filling in torrents and the wind being extremely high. As the day advanced, however, it began to brighten up, and many who from the state of the weather had given up all thoughts of proceeding to the races for that day at least, about noon began to change their intention. The wind, however, still con tinued extremely boisterous and cold. From this reason the course was thinner than we ever before observed it. There was, however, a good muster of the sporting gentry, and the Grand Stand was occupied by a considerable number of gentlemen, but, as was to be expected , not many ladies. There were a good many conveyances on the course, principally from Manchester, hut not many carriages. Booths and games of various kinds were in the usual profusion ; the minor stands presented a very naked appearance, scarcely a stand being a quarter full and many entirely empty. We observed on the Grand Stand the Earl of Derby, Lord Stanley, Lord Kelhane, Lord Robert Grosvenor, Lord Eglington, Lord Charles Fitzroy, Lord Charles Bentinck. the Hon. E. L. M. Mostyn, Sir James Boswell, the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Dundass, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Patten; Mr. Cornwall Leigh, Mr. Bowes, M.P., Mr. C. Stanley, Captain Stanley. Hon. G. Lindsay, Col. • Rawstorne, Mr. Mostyn, Mr. Lloyd Mostyn, Mr. E. G. Hornby, Mr. E. Hornby, Col. Hornby, Mr. Phipps Hornby, Mr. Ramsey, Mr, Parker, Captain Fitzroy, Mr. Phipps, Mr. Bolds, Sir Thos. Stanley, Mr. Henderson, Mr. Forrester, Sir R. W. Bulkeley, &c. The races commenced, at about three o'clock, with the Croxteth Stakes. The betting on this race commenced with two to one on the field, and, at starting, five to twq was offered, four to one against Amu rath; hree to one against Jacob Faithful. Tom Shipman was the favourite. Amurath took the lead, closely followed by Jacob Faithful as second, Tom Shipman third, and Actaeon fourth. Amurath main tained his position to the winning-post, heating the best in a common canter by three or four lengths. Tom Shipman came second, Friar Tuck third, Jacob Faithful fourth, and Actaeon fifth ; the last three named were tailed off by a long distance. In the second race, for the Sweepstakes of 50 sovs. each, Sir Thos. Stanley had two horses running, and declared previous to the ruuning, that he intended to win with the mare, if possible. Only three horses started. The betting was'six to four on the horse, and two to one on Stanley's winning the race. Lord Westminster's Sarcasm was not. without backers at odds. The mare made the running by taking the lead at a slapping pace, all well up. She kept her station until within 100 yards of home, when Lord Westminster's challenged. The three were abreast the last quarter of a mile, but, eventually, Sir Thomas's Japhet shot out and won by about a head. This was a most beautiful race, it being difficult to ascertain from the Grand Stand which was the winner. In the next race, for the Sweepstakes of 25 sovs. for two year old colts, half mile distance, five horses only started, Calender, Bangalore, Portland, Parolles, and Pammon. The betting was five to four on Ca leudar, seven to four against Pammon, and five to one against Banga lore. This was a good race, all started well together; the contest was principally between Bangalore, • Pammon, and Calendar, the former winning with some difficulty, Callender coming in third. • The last race was for a Maiden Plate of 80 sovs. Heats. Three horses started. Mr. Wilkin's eh f Miss Rachel, Mr. Thomas's br f 'Frances; and Mr. Tilburn's br c Master Christopher. In the first heat Frances took the lead, followed by Christopher, Rachel keeping be hind, her jockey saving her for the two next heats, Master Christo pher, after a short contest, won cleverly by a neck. The betting was six to four on Master Christopher. In the second heat Miss Rachel took the lead at a slapping pace s appearing determined to win, fol lowed by Frances, and Master Christopher behind. This order was preserved to the winning post, Rachel coming in first by two or three lengths. Betting now rose in favour of Miss Rachel ; it was evident, however, that she had done her utmost, in this heat to conic in first, and Master Christopher still continued to be the favourite. In the third heat Rachel again took the lead at a severe pace, appearing de termined to win if she could, the other two horses preserving the same order as in the last heat. Within a hundred yards of the win ning post, Master Christopher made running, challenged, and 'won easily by three or four lengths. On the Stand the betting for next day's Cup was principally on General Chasse and the field ; three to two on the field were offered against him to large amounts and taken . The following is a statement of the days running : The CROXTETH STAKES of 15 soya, each, 10 ft, with 30 added. One mile and a quarter. Lord Derby's eh c Atnurath (Arthur, jun.) 1 Hen. E. M. LI.

SECOND DA Y—(WEDNESDA Y.) The Race-course, this day, presented a very different aspect to the day previous. The weather was still cold and windy but fine. In consequence, all the race-going public were on the qui vire ; every conceivable vehicle both likely and unlikely was put in request, and the road to the Race-course, from eleven o'clock in the morning, was crowded by carriages, coaches, omuihusses, cars, carts fitted-out, equestrians, and pedestrians. The course presented the most animated and beautiful appearance, the crowd densely thronging almost all round the coarse, whilst horsemen and carriages were galloping and driving about in the centre ; the sun giving brilliancy and gaiety to the whole. The Grand Stand was crowded to excess, a large propor tion being ladies. In addition to the company we observed on the previous day on the stand, we saw Sir Thomas Hesketh, Mr. Bowes, Mr, Hetherington, Lord Wm. Bentinck, the Hon. Mr. Forrester, &c. &c. The minor stands were also crowded by dense masses of people, The Tradesmen's Cup, a very handsome gold tureen, was exhibited in front of the stand, and, together with the beauty and fashion near it, attracted much attention. The first race was the Foal Stakes of 107 sovs. for three year old colts. For this race three horses started, Sir Thos. Stanley's ch cby Teniers, Mr. W. Turner's oh c, by Peter Lely, and the Marquis of Westminster's c, by Teniers. On coming out the three horses were the admiration of every body. Three such fine horses have been rarely seen pitched against each other. The Marquis's was, however, the favourite ; his size and strength, combined with his beautiful form and easy and slapping pace, evidently showed hint the winner. Peter Lely took the lead at starting, followed by the Marquis, and Sir Thos . last. The pace at first was slow—a common canter; about half way round, however, the Marquis challenged and passed his competitors, and the pace immediately became very sevete. On coming up the straight distance all three were abreast, and the race to the winning post was beautiful. About fifty yards from the winning post the Mar quis galloped away, and won cleverly by about two lengths. The betting in this race was principally on the Marquis. The next race, for the Tradesman's Cup, was the grand race of the day. Shortly before the horses came out. it was made known tha t both Mundig and Oswald would start, as well as Verbena, De Roos, Longinus, and Birdlime, and other horses of not much note. The in terest was very great. The betting was generally at six to five on the field against the General, three to one against Birdlime, three to one against Oswald, Mundig appeared to have lost favour. On the bell ringing thirteen horses entered the field, and the excitement became very great, every person appeared betting on the result. The start , considering the number of hor ses , was a mos t b eau tif u l one . Th e puce the first time past the winning post was very severe ; Birdlime was last, and the General about the middle. On turning the corner the General got the rails by good jockeyism, and was placed second horse, Birdlime about two lengths behind him. The horses all kept well together round, the pace continuing extremely severe. On turn ing the corner, for the straight distance to the winning post, the horses were all well up, and the excitement became intense. About half way up the distance the General was first horse, Birdlime pressing close behind, Mundig tailing, and Oswald about the middle. About one hundred yards from home, the General was still -first horse, and the shouts of the crowd were " the General has it again ; " Birdlime chal lenged, and there was a beautiful and severe contest between the two ; Birdlime, however, with much whipping on both sides, gradually gained half a length, and came in Winner of the cup. In the next race for the Wilton Stakes only Grenada and Vultnre started. Vulture had it all his own way, winning in a common can ter. The farce of the day was the match for 50 sovs. between Mr. Holland's Moses and Mr. Williamson's Monkey. Monkey was the favourite, and there was a good deal of betting on the result. Mon key, however. at starting began to show off some monkey tricks, anal his first feat, at the corner, was to rear straight up and almost spill the jockey, which was followed by a spell at kicking, whilst the jockey finding " no go " in him hammered away most unmercifully , and was assisted by a shower of caps, sticks, and lasts from the crowd ; all, however, would not avail, and Moses, meantime, was "coming it easy" in a canter, going round the course alone. The last race was for the Publican's Purse of 50 sovs. Heats; Miss Rachel and Aratus only started, and Miss Rachel had it all her own way, winning both heats easily. Notwithstanding the crowded state of the course we have not heard of any accident of serious consequence. The following is the result of the day's racing : The FOAL STAKES of 100 sovs. each li ft, for three-years old. Once round and a di Lord Westminster's e by Teniersstance. (Nat) 1 Mr. W.

B. .5 3 8 2 8 2 THE OTONNELL SUBSCRIPTION.—We see by an advertise ment which appeared in one of the Liverpool papers of Sa turday, that the sum of one thousand pounds has been trans mitted by a Mr. Thornhill, from this town, to Mr. Joseph Hume in London, being, as the advertisement pompously styles it, the " Liverpool subscription" towards defraying the political expenses of Daniel O'Connell, .Esq. 111.1 ) : • this iin pudent announcement is evidently made with a view of im posing upon persons at a distance the notion that O'Connell is a popular character in Liverpool. But, lot the truth be told : After two months spent in canvassing for money. aided, too by the means and infitpnce of several members 6r out corpora tion, the O'Counellite's have gathered the sum of one thousand pounds—yes, after going from door to door, and like their master, pushing the hat into every poor man's face, from whom they thought they could extort a farthing, and after extolling the claims of the BEGGAR-in-chief to support, they have sent t o his treasury in London, a thousand pounds! and that sum they have the audacity to call " the Liverpool subscription," Now we utterly deny that any respectable man, any man who has the remotest respect for his own character or that of " the good old town," has given one penny to this subscription. The intelli gent and wealthy classes of Liverpool have nothing whatever to do with it—they have giien no part of it, and they deem it a barefaced insult to be libelled, by having the name of the place published in connexion with that of one of the greatest vagabonds that ever existed. The money is the aggregate pence and shillings of the few wretched dupes who exhibited O'Connell to the scorn of the assembled merchants, brokeri, and shipowners of Liverpool in the Exchange-buildings some mouths ago. And that's all. MR. FOSTER'S COMPENSATION CLAIM —A contemporary journal, published on Tuesday last, laments the necessity of granting compensation to the late Town-clerk, Mr. Foster, and the reason, a very ingenious one to be sure, assigned is, that Mr. Foster, having held his office for more than three years, and during that time having received some twenty , thousand pounds for his services, ought to be deprived of that-office with out any valid cause and at a moment's notice, and without receiving one penny as compensation. ". So we would have had it," but, thank God, as old Cobbett said, ‘. We have a Hotie of Lords;" and that house took care that no mail shouiti stiffer pecuniary injury in consequence of being tieprive,l of his situa tion through the malignity of any Radical Corporation, however appsrentiv respectable they might be. Regarding the expense with which the town has been saddled, in consequence of Mr. Foster's removal, divested ef humbug, the case is simply this, — Why was he removed when hp was equal to the performance of the duties required of him, and a person put into his place very far inferior to him in every respect? But Mr. Foster was a Tory, and Mr. Radcliffe a Whig; that's the difference; and for the existence of that difference, and to achomodate the sweet temper of Mr. William Rathbone, and to Meet the economical! views of Messrs. Shiel and Coglan, Mr. Foster must be turned out of office to make room for a needy partizan' very much his inferior in all respects. CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOL SOCIETY.—The amount re ceived for the establishment of these schools, is already upwards of EIGHT THOUSAND POUNDS. MR. .TOWN WILSON Cum:Ea.—We noticed last week, that Mr. Croker was likely to be put in nomination for Leeds, in the event of Mr. Baines's resignation, which we understood would take place shortly. Our able contemporary, the Edinburgh Evening Post, thus notices Mr. Croker, "The absence of Mr. Croker from the House of Com Mons has always appeared to us as strange as it is undesirable. A man of his extraordinary powers as a speaker and debater, together with his staunch and unflinching character, would be invaluable as an adversary of the present tail led government. Mr. Croker is one who knows the truth, and will not hesitate to give utterance to his opinions. Alas for Lord John Russell when such an opponent shall appear against him! We only wish that Mr. Croker would accept a seat in the House of Commons before the preSent parliament is dissolved. We are convinced that, in the course of U. few weeks, he would diminish the pretensions of the ministerial leaders, including O'Connell and his tail, in a manner which the whig radicals, who have hitherto been treated too leniently, are hardly able to anticipate." THE LIVERPOOL MUSICAL FaSTITAI..—We understand Sir George Smart is at present in this town, giving his assistance to the Festival Committee in making the arrangements for the coming Festival, which commences on the 3d of October. Mr. Braham, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Bennett, Mr. E. Taylor, Mr. W. Knyvett, anti Mrs. Alfred Shaw, have been already engaged. Madame Malibran has been written to with a view of securing her valuable assistance, and the committee are in treaty with Mrs. Wood. It has not yet been determined in which of the curhches the sacred music will be performed. " THE POLITICAL HORIZON IS GLOOMY"—Rt least sO say the " reformers of Liverpool," and we are glad to hear it. These persons are very fond of swaggering about their libera lity, and the purity of their principles, when they think any one can be caught by such a manoeuvre ; but in their consci ences they know very well, that when the time of trial comes they will be found wanting. The following is an extract from a circular recently sent "to the Reformers of - St. Peter's ward:"—The present is an important moment, pregnant, evi dently, with great results. The political horizon is ayain gloomy and overcast,—the enemies of the itpeople certainly m e ditat e another assault on our liberties ;will therefore require all your energies, all your watchfulness to baffle and defeat their machinations,—let us be armed and ready for the conflict. " Armed and ready for the conflict !!"--Fudge. STEAM-SHIP LAUNCH.—A fine steam-vessel, named the Skins, belonging to the St. George Steam-packet Company,. of this town, has just been launched at Leith. Her keel is upwards of 170 feet, her length of deck 200 feet, and she will register 700 tons. CHILD DESERTED.—On Wednesday night, about 1 . 0 o'clock, a fine male child, about 3 months old, was placed b ) some un feeling wretch under a balk of timber on the eastsule of the Brunswick dock. Duck constable Maxwell was attracted to the place by the cries of the child, and took it to Mr. Dowlin,, , : r's of fice, where it was fed and attended to by the servants, and was afterwards sent to the poor-house. It is a very tine boy, meanly clad in a coloured cotton frock, with a band of different pattern, (dark blue), a nankeen bonnet, and part of an old patchwork quilt wrapped round it. No one has yet owned it. - THE BEER TRA DE.—INFORMATIONS, —During the weekend ing on Saturday last, fourteen publicans and twenty-one beer housekeepers have been brought before the magistrates, at the police-office, on informations for offending against the terms of their license. In the majority of the eases convictions took place. One hundred and eighteen penal informations have been . heard during the same period. DEFECTIVE WEIGHTS AND BALANCES.-011 Friday last. nine persons from Everton and West Derby, were summoned before the sitting magistrates, at Kirkdale, for having in their possession defective weights and balances, and respectively fined in the sums of five shillings and costs. STREET OBSTRUCTIONS.—On Monday, in deciding a case against the owner of some property for obstructing the high way by throwing rubbish into the street, Mr. Hull held that the defendant was liable for any obstruction arising from rubbish thrown from his premises, notwithstanding he had employed a bricklayer, who had contracted for the completion of the work to be done on the premises. NEW BOTANIC GARDEN.—The new Botanic Garden in Edge lane, will be opened on the 27th instant, when an exhibition of plants, fruits, vegetables, and flowers, will take place. CA lIVYING ON THE FOOTwALK.—Charle s Turner, and Chas. Phillips, were fined each in the penalty of 2s. 6d. and costs, on information by police-officer Temple, (227,) 'for carrying the carcasses of two sheep on the foot wa lk i n Roe-street. Mr. Hall directed that the ofikers should in all cases of this descrip tion of offence lay immediate information until the nuisance is put a step to. INCWEST.—On Monday, an inquest was held, by adjourn ment, before P. F. Curry, Esq., coroner, on the body of a mid dle-aged man, a clerk, named James Mason. A young wo man, his niece, named Margaret Rimmer, deposed that the deceased lived in Bevington-street, and was a clerk ; on Fri day night he went to bed at his usual time and quite well ; and before he went be told her he intended to get up at five o'clock next morning to go to his work. She saw him pass her bed room door early next morning in his shirt sleeves and trowsers At seven o'clock in the morning she found her uncle, in the privy, dead. There was a part of his braces tied tight round his neck and another part was found fastened to a piece of wood projecting from the wall. Her uncle had evinced no symp toms of insanity; whilst he was a young man he had lost the use of one side by a paralytic stroke, and was not able to raise , ' his left arm to his bead. Mr. D. F. Black, surgeon, said ft-inh the appearances of the body it was his opinion that the n, de ceased could 'not have been perfectly sane. There were a • marks to indicate that he had hung himself; but from red 111Pat pearante of the head and neck it might be fairly t he died from suffocation.

Mr. Rice, an American comedian, who is of great celebrity on the other side o f t h e A tlantic for his correct personation of l i Negro character, has been performing (hiring the last week at the Surrey Theatre with great eclat. The drama in which he makes his appearance, beats the extraordinary name of Bone Squash Diablo; and owes its success, in a good measure, to his whimsical acting, and to the wild Negro melodies introduced into the piece. His delineation of Negro character is in every respect perfect; and can only be fully appreciated by those who have witnessed the reality.—Obserrer.

At the next fire, however, though he did not hit waistcoat he hit' him on the largest part of his smalls—the ball in this case also' going right through —not the coat tails again,—but the part over which coat tails do commonly depend—light through from. side to side" it went;'as the editor stood edgeways to Ins ad versary; and thus ended the affair, the editor considering this last shot: quite satisfactory.

THE ROMANCE OF ADVERT!

RA 11.1t0A n - SrantmaTioNs.—Thereis oneclass of ipe'culalors in railroad- shares, who believed themselves to be proceeding at, first upon sure grounds, but who have proved. in the sequel to, be more wrong than any of the others.- Ilaviog set out on the notion that the only contingency_to be dreaded was a failure in . obtaini ng t h e A ct of Parliament. tequisite to-allow the particu lar undertaking to be curried into effect, instead of purchasing for money in the usual manner, they agreed to give a large ad ditional premium for shares, provided the Act of Parliament should be obtained, and the bargain otherwise went for nothing. They held it to be perfectly ceriain. if that event took place, that a large additional rise must follow it. As Parliament has' dealt most liberally with a il r ailroad undertakings, a great num ber of Bills have passed, in which the chance of a profitable re turn is very improbable, and, if it were otherwise. the reaction of the market on the abatement of the first fever, and the in convenience to ninny of paying up the instalments, have scarcely allowed the prices in inly instance to be sustained. Engage ments of this kind have not been common in London, where the speculators are better informed, but they have speed very, widely in the cuuntiy, and have produced considerable distress and difficulty.
