On Saturday afternoon, a dense. crowd was collected around the Duke of York public-house, which forms the junction of Shepherd-street and Union-street, Oxford-street, and from the eagerness of the spectators it was evident that some unusual incident had occurred. It seems that a brewer's horse had fallen into Mrs. Miller's cellar the evening before, from which, still hale and hearty, his owners were now preparing to h e i st hi m up. This event, which it appears is unprecedented its the an. pals of licensed victuallers, took place in the fuslowing man ner:—On liriday evening, the carter of Messrs. Coombe and Delafield brought some liquor to the Duke of York, aud then proceeded to draw the empty barrels out of the cellar in the usual way, by fastening a rope to the horse's traces and puttiug a holdfast attached to the other end of the rope within the bar rel. Several were brought up, but as the horse was tugging at a cask of extraordinary magnitude, which met with some oppo sition in its ascent, the rope snapped, and the force of the " re action" carried poor "Jack Rag" tail foremost into the cellar. As the descent was several feet, it was feared that the poor fel low was severely injured; but as soon as astonishment at the change of scene began to subside, he made the folks overhead understand that he had the full use of his faculties. Forthwith he knocked the necl.s off a dozen of sherry, and then stove in a hogshead of ale with his hoof to which, as it flowed into a na tural basin in the cellar, he began to help himself, and soon gave testimony of the good quality of the liquor, by snort*, neighing, an d d anc i ng about the apartment, emancipating more and, more of the precious liquors at every evolution. The jingling of the bottles and glasses below now gave pour Mrs. Miller more concern for the safety of the stores than her new customer. But it was no easy matter to get "Jack " out of such good quarters. The pot-boys were ordered to go into the cellar by the back way, but the horse kept his tail so firmly against the door, that to open it was impossible. They could see him well enough down the front aperture, and he could also see them; and by 'Awing his teeth and shaking his hoof, he plainly gave them to under tend what would be their reception if they ventured below. Thd boys, therefore, dare not disturb him. They said they could very well man ige a man in liquor, but that it would be more than their heads wesse worth to interrupt a horse in the middle of a spree. To get him out of the cellar by the way he descended was impossible,unless Jack" first allowed them to put ropes around his body. In vain they endeavoured to entice him forward for this purpose by holding sieves of oats and pitchforks of hay at the trap-door. "Jack" thought that on this occasion the pleasures of eating were as nothing com pared to the joys of drinking. At length Mrs. Miller bethought her of a plan, and it could not but be a good one, fur it is well known all over the parish that Mrs. Miller is "as knowing a little ()omen as ever served up enter tainmeut to man or horse." " Come," says she, " let us send the wittles down to him, and we can surround him with the ropes while he is a chewing." Forthwith hay, oats, barley, and beans were showered down in greater abundance than ever regaled a horse at a manger. " Jack" was well pleased with the first part of the compromise, but would not listeei to the second. The " wittles" seemed only to give him renewed relish for his '' half-and-half." flour after hour of eating and drinking followed, accompanied by smashing and clattering at the end of every five minutes, until poor Mrs. Miller, seeing herself completely " done," gave way to despair, and it was-only by main force that she was prevented from rushirrg down into the cellar to stick " Jack" through sled through with a pitchfork. But a horse, just like a man, is aisle to eat and drink no more than he can hold. Honest " Jack," at last, finding that he had not roam for another mouthful, sank down on the ilitV iu a state of supreme beati tude, and was in a few minutes dreaming, probably about how good Mrs. Miller had been to him. Exactly next morning, ere Jack showed any sign of stirring, preparations for hauling him out were commenced. An inclined plane was dug from the apposite side of the street to the flour of the cellar. A tri angle was erected over the passage from which suspended ropes, that were by the most gentle tickling acid pushing from side to side, rolled around poor Jack's body, while he still lay in the land of forgetfulness. Alt being now prepared, which was not until noon, a strong body of porters and policemen were col lected, and the street and windows on all aides were filled with waggoners, carters, brewers, end licensed victuallers, au xious to witness the resurrection. Jack was rudely roused from his slumbers. At first he did not know where he was, but as soon as the revolution in his head allowed him to recollect, he once more staggered towards the well, to have a " hair of the seine hound that bit him." But all indulgence was now at end. The ropes were straightened, the men gave a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether, and the horse was lifted half way but few ropes are equal to the load of good cheer Jack had then stowed wntr his ribs, from his neck down to his tail. The ropes brok e , soil back Me, the cellar amidst the loudest cheers, once more Jack on the pave e m cellar, and the folks at the other end fell in a heap times with as est - e The attempt was repeated two or th ree spectators, who seemed s success, to the infinite amusement of the to prefer th at J ac k s h ou ld cont i nue i n his old quarters. liengiiirse•ierreased complement of hands was put to the rop e. t double uti v;l treme us „ V 7), he a v e ho," ance or beer was served, and the men, wih a Jack out of t the cellar.ndo His belly slowly elevated balloon, and was evidently too great r swelled t o th e s i ze o f a walked home with the greatest ,utienelso,ad for him Ja c k w as consoled by au assurance, t hat ow n ers t hisan d Mr s .

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT RICHMOND. The inhabitants of the village of Rkhmond were thrown into the utmost state of consternation and alarm yesterday morning, between 11 and 12 o'clock, hi a destru,:tiye fire breaking out at tlre extensive premises belonging to Mr. James Piggott, cabinet-maker and upholsterer, George-street, Red Lion-street. The flames were first perceived to burst forth from the large workshops in the rear of the houses in George s'reet, which, being principally composed of light materials, and the wind blowing all the time from the south-east rather fresh, the flames spiced with fearful rapidity. Messengers were im mediately despatched on horseback to London for the assistance of the tire-engines, and within a very short time intelligence of the fire was thus conveyed to Waterloo-road, Bedford-bury, Wells-street, Oxford-street, and other stations, whence engines immediately started, well horsed, and arrived at the spot at half:past twelve o'clock, with a powerful party of the brigade, under the personal direction of Mr. Braidwood, of the Loudon Fire Establishment. In the interim ? the flames had made fear fill ravages, haying riot July destroyed the entire range of work chops and their yalualilkcontents, but extended to the dwelling house of Mr. Piggott, and to the premises of a Mr. George, ironmonger, and likewise communicated to the row of houses in Red Lion-street. At one period the devouring element assumed an alarming aspect, and even threatened destruction to the entire village. At this period there were no less than tea or twelve engines throwing streams of water on the flames; and notwithstanding this hydraulic force, before the firemen sue- Fteeded in extinguishing the flames, many hundreds of pounds ' worth of property was consumed. The cause of the fire is at present unknown, but it was conjectured to have originated by the negligence f some workmen in leaving a lighted candle in the workshops on Saturday night, and a spark falling on some shavings and igniting. Fortunately for Mr. Piggott, he is insured in the Pbcenix Fire-office to the full extent of his loss. All his workshops and his dwelling house are destroyed. The premises of Mr. George, adjoining, are destroyed, and those of Messrs. Holding, Cripps, Newman. Streatham, and several others, severely damaged—some of them not insured. — Morning Herald. COURT OF REQUESTS, LONDON —MoNDAY. Could a Sterne or a Mackenzie pay a visit to these dreary courts, a sad tale of human misery would be unfolded. A whole pair of pannier full of buns (solid pudding or two-inch bread and butter would look too ostentatious) would scarcely satisfy the cravings or appease the wants of the poor children, who, for lack of any one to take care of them at home, are dragged through the dark fog of a bitter cold morning, along with their thinly-clad mothers, to answer for pot-house scores! Upwards of forty cases were heard yesterday, where the amount sued for was for beer and gin. As cowardice generally accompanies depAavity, the poor wife is thrust forward by the husband to bear the brunt of the battle. It is sufficient upon this dark side of the picture to say, that every case was dealt with as leniently as possible. ONE of DAN.'S FOLLOWERS IN TROUBLE.—" The course of true love never did run smooth !"—The bard who wrote for all times and all seasons,•certainly never contemplated that Creina Fagan should summon Patrick Ragan before Mr. Commis sioner Dubois, for I Is. 6d. money lent, and the principal inter est of a pair of shirts, making altogether 19s. Creina Fagan told her case thus : It's to marry me, yer Honors' Wartchip, that he tould me, an' he played the very piper with my hone heart and he won it—(laughter)—and in regard to that same thing, didn't I make him a pair of shirts, and lent him Hs. 6d., all hard money—all away from me hone poekit ?—and thin, the baste as he is, wid me hone pair of shirts on his spalpeen hack—(laughter)—he goes straight round about me and marries another—(laughter) —as ould and as bastely as Barney's pig, yer Honor. (Laugh ter.) Mr. Commissioner—How long did be court you, Mrs. Creina Fagan ? Plaintiff—lvver since he tuck up wid O'Connell, your Wart chip. ,Commissioner—lndeed What do you mean by " tuck up with O'Connell ?" Plaintiff—Och, he attends all the big meetings—Ragan is the dear boy to hollabalue, and in regard of that he wake: all our dead—(laughter). Commissioner—Really he looks a remarkably clever speci men of the "fine pisintry !" Now, Mr. Ragan, do you owe this woman the amount claimed ? Defendant—Now, by my soul and body, I don't. Commissioner—Swear him. Here Ragan in eccordance with the moral philosophy of Peter Dens was about to draw a long bill on his " mental reser vation box," but he was cut short by being ordered to take oath in the Roman Catholic form, at which Patrick appeared con siderably chagrined. Commissioner—Now, Sir, did Criena Fagan make yon two shirts, and lend you money out of her pocket ? Defendant—By the Powers, I can't say but she did; but she made me a prisint of it—(laughter)—and its only an ould spite, bekase I got married, that she brought me here. Commissioner--It seems you've sadly cheated the poor wo man, and you most pay her. What are you? Patrick—l goes straight where I'm tould, Sir—(laughter). Speak plainly, Sir, how d'ye get your living? where do you go, and who sends you ?—Divil a row is ther but its meeself that's in it, and a gentleman, and a rale one, pays me, and he knows Dan. (Here Patrick gave a very knowing wink.) Amid considerable laughter Patrick, the patriot, was ordered to pay the amount sued fur. As soon as he comprehended the latter fact he clenched his fist, and looking very much like a deceived bull dog at Mr. Dupois, he 'ejaculated " Onley let me catch you at Cork !" A WRECK ENCOUNTERED AT SHA. (FROM Tll3 GUIANA CHRONICLE, AUG. 15. Sir,-1 beg leave to inform you, that on the 28th of July last, 1 fell in with the brig Queen Adelaide, of Sunderland, in 1at.26. 10.

PARTY.—On Friday se'nnight 1,100 persons of the Wesleyan Methodist persuasion sat down to tea in St. Andrew's flail, Norwich. They were admitted at ls. each. A notice was attached to the Guildhall door a few days since, the preamble of which ran thus:—" We, the two asses, and mayer of the borough of Totnes, do appoint a meeting," &c. the excision of the " sore" having been made by some wag.— Pfstste.in Times. The inhabitants of Oswesti v have subscribed for a magnifi dent silver candelabrum for seven lights, as a testimony of respect to the Hon. Thomas Kenyon, the High Steward of that town. This splendid testimony of regard is now fiuished, and will be presented to the hon. gentleman on Friday.—Valopiari Journal. A ma❑ was boasting about his knowledge of the world, when a wag in company asked him if he had ever been iu Algebra? " I cannot exactly tell," says he, " but I think I once passed it on the coach." A beautiful full-grown white hare was shot on Friday last, near Walton, by James Dunn, Esq. It has been preserved, and is nuw in the collection of Mr. John Huntington Dawson, of Rosemary-lane, in this town, to whom it was presented by Mr. Dunn.—Newcastle Journal. A PRODIG T.—Tnere is now living, at the wonderful village of Holmpton. in Holderness, a male child of the following ex traordinary dimensions:—Height. two feet six inches; CirCuFn lerencY of the body, twenty inches and a half; circle of the arm, six inches; ditto at the thickest part, nine inches ; and oth/r Nits is pr o p or ti on .

PADDY AT SEA. —A n Irishman, while on his passage to " this country," in search of harvest work, was observed to walk up and down the deck at a brisk pace, occasionally giving a look at the captain whenever he came in sight, as if to attract his observation. On being asked by the steward for his passage money when nearing the destination, Pat replied, " Arrah, honey, be aisy now ; sure the master won't do such a dirty trick as charge a poor shairer who has walked the whole way !" T o 14E3 OF RESPECT. — The Rev. Joshua Wood, B.A. assis tant miuister of Christ Church, Bradford, has been presented with a handsome silk gown and cossack by the ladies of his con gregation, as a testimony of his valuable services. A similar token was presented a short time ago to the Rev. W. Morgan, 8.D., Incumbent of the saute church. AURORA BOREALIS. —A very singular appeacanee was ob served in the heavens on Tuesday evening, occasioned by the aurora borealis, which were not confined to the north, but covered the whole sky. The light spread out in some points like rays from a common centre, in all the variety of the most splendid colours; the remarkable of which was a deep rich purple, with which a large portion of the sky was illuminated.— Edinburgh Courant. CONSERVATISM IN EAST W O RCESTERSHIRE. —OR Friday evening last the Conservative Association of East Worcestshire dined together at the Foley Hotel, Druitwich. About 300 sat down to dinner. Mr. Pakingtou presided, and was supported on the right by Lord Redesdale and the Hon. Mr. W. Coventry, and on the left by Lord Deerhurst, Mr. Barneby, the member fur Droitwich, and Mr. Hawkes, the member for Dudley. Among those present were Major Bond, Col. Smith, Captain Bennett, the Rev G. E. Lander, Lloyd Williams, Esq., F. Holland Esq., &c. The room was tastefully decorated with ban ners hearing Loyal inscriptions. Among the latter were "Church, King, and Constitution, ' " Loyalty to the King, submission to the laws, and j ust i ce to the people,'" " Church and King," &c. The meeting comprised a great portion of the wealthy and influj, ential gentry of the eastern part of the division of the county, and had the size of the room permitted, a much greater number would have sat down to dinner on this occasion. 'f URN le FLY. —A method of preventing the ravages of the turnip fly has been adopted at Hampstead. The practice is founded upon the fact that the fly emits its eggs in the autumn, and they are not hatched till the next spring, when the warmth and the fruitful state of the soil by reneated ploughings and liarrowings, admit of the generating effects of the sun's rays. It is at this period the turnip is generally sown ; the plant therefore springs up about the time the ay is hatched, and a supply of food being thereby affulded, it is not surprising that the fly should multiply and thrive. if instead of sowing imme diately, the soil is brought into as fine a state as possible, and the sowing delayed for ten days, a l t h oug h t h e fl y wou ld b e hatched, it would die for want of its natural food. The exist ence of a fly in the field may be ascertained by placing cabbage leaves at night, and examining them in the morning. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.--INDICTME NT AGAINST LORD MOREETE: ANL) OTHERS.—A most ridiculous charge was brought against certain of his Majesty's ministers at the above Sessions on Friday week, by a person named Flood, who, about two ses sions ago was taken into custody, and committed to Newgate, for throwing some papers from the gallery of tha House of Commune into the body of the house. The clerk of the indict ments considered the charge did not constitute an indictable offence, and he therefore could not hand it to the jury; but Flood maintained that his indictment was properly drawn, and that he would not be biassed by auy man. In the indictment, Lord Morpeth, as Secretary of State for Ireland, was charged with having, on the 10th of August last, at the House of Com mons, &c. maliciously instigated a certain person, whose name is unknown, to threaten violence to John Flood, late of Callen, in the county of Kilkenny-, &c. and Lords Melbourne and Dun cagnon, and Mr. Spring Rice, were charged with aiding and abetting the sa id L or d M orpet h , & c. &c. - Flood loudly corn , plained at the clerk's refusing to pass his indictment, which he s aid was dune at the Mitigation of his Majesty's ministers.

To conclude with the Dram* of TILE YOUTHFUL QUEEN. FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 28; 1836. Tlie unmanly—the unchristian indignity recently of fered to our protestant King and his amiable consort by a few self-degraded beings in a certain provincial city, hitherto proverbial for its propt iety and its loyalty, and whom we can hardly honour with the name of men, and far less gentlemen, has met its severe rebuke in the splendid meeting at Droitwich on Friday last. The rank and the respectability of East Worcester shire, under the presidency of Mr. Packington, have visited with a signal retribution the meanly contemptible insult which could in a public assembly receive the toasted health of our revered monarch insilence! Proh pudor! Where is the honour—the blood—the pride— the English' feeling that will not rise up with becoming indignatiOn, and brand with the finger of scorn the petty malignity or the insatiable malevolence that could so madly undervalue our national character? Are these men—madmen we would rather ray—dead to the rules of ethical decorum, or entirely lost to the influence of shame or the dictates of common decency ? Must we, in imitation of Diogenes, in the broad face of day, in cultivated Britain, and in the nineteenth century of the christian era, illuminate their faces before their fellow men, and seek for their honesty amidst the rabble rout of their Bacchanalian revel ? Are they so ignorant as not to know that a King of England, by the very pecu liarity of his station, is not the fair mark for their pitiful revenge, or their still more despicable contumely ? Are they, drunk as they are, in their radical coxcombry, vain enough to think that they can reduce this fair—this beautiful—this, generally speaking, intellectual country to the barbarism of degenerate Greece in the day of her frenzied democracy, that they may glut their depraved appetites, and gloat upon their feast of hoped-for spolia tion in the issue ? Yes, it really does appear that these bloated enthusiasts for liberality of opinion —these boast ing sticklers for liberty of conscience—these improved, reformed, regenerate councillors—patrons of freedom and paragons of justice—of " equal justice," of " cheap law," and " good government," branded their own jaco binical foreheads with the indelible stigma of cowardly treasonable disloyalty, aye, cowardly treasonable dis loyalty ! We are.prepared to put a justification on the record before the supreme court of the British nation for the terms here used, and their correct application too. It matters not to us whether we convict them of moral or actual treason; the one is the act of cowardice, the other of open or even noble daring, which, right or wrong, jtstifies the deed at the peril of consequences; the other constitutes the deed in intention, but meanly shrinks from the responsibility. And this is the case of the worthies before us, ot"whose conduct a bold and just cognizance has been taken. That any party or society of men in this kingdom, proverbial for its loyalty of feeling throughout all the nations of the earth, deeming themselves respectable, and calling themselves .Eng lishmen, zould have been found at this advanced period of our history—this age of liberality and of improved understanding—guilty of such ignorance of the common usages of our great society, such indecorum of sentiment at a public dinner, is suf ficient to attach to each and every individual present who could so compromise himself and his own character a mark of indelible disgrace that will stick by him for the remainder of his natural existence ; and as these amiable associates of reason have placed themselves in the pillory of public contempt, they may not feel surprise that we feel it a part of our duty, as loyal subjects devotedly at tached to the person and office of our gracious sovereign, to give them the full benefit of their own freely-sought debasement before the general body of their countrymen. If notoriety for their right valiant deed be the object they sought, notoriety sufficient shall they have, and far and wide wherever our columns circulate. It was, and we repeat it without reserve or qualifica tion, an azt of moral treason against the office as well as the person of the chief magistrate, who, by virtue of that office should stand exempt from party feeling and secure from the littleness of those shrug-of-the-shoulder gentlemen, and their paltry detraction, Why had not some one among them the moral courage, the manhood to speak out, and in fair open argument openly state his objections, if any, to the public course of the sovereign ; for with his Majesty's private feelings as a man and an English gentleman, no one can have a right to inter fere. and ►ouch less to attribute to him unworthy motives, in the execution of an onerous state duty, under the special advice of his responsible advisers ? The consti tutional maxim that `• the King can do no wrong," is evidently lost upon those men of Baal, and they have started a new principle, founded upon the theory of pre sumed personal responsibility, and thus ignorantly per verted that, which is one of the best safeguards of con stituted freedom under a mixed monarchy and free in stitutions. Pour souls, these newly- created legislators; they have yet to go to schOol to learn the first principles of that government under which they have the vanity— the presumption—like our own sapient town councillors to legislate for their fellow-citizens. It were folly in deed, to suffer tamely the humiliations to which persons so palpably ignorant of the essential usages of our hitherto well-regulated society would subject us. The act of flagrant disloyalty towards him, who, how ever illustrious in station is but legally under his high estate the chief trustee of our constitutional compact, and always held irresponsible for his public acts, is but the prelude to that indignity or possibly that personal outrage which would be offered him but for the protec tion of the laws But we maintain that even personally William the Fourth, is the last to be marked out for -a public act of reprobation ; and Nat too by a set of his disorderly pro-popish or pro-radical, or rather pro-re publican subjects. A more patriotic monarch never sat upon the throne of these realms ; and did we not know this to be an incontrovertible truth, no inducement of favour or of patronage would allow us to compromise our own bonott —our personal credit with those amongst whom we have hitherto lived and moved, and been held in esteem by declaring it. Is it because his Majesty has shown a conscientious respect for his oath, as the oath of a Protestant King, bound to uphold the integrity of the reformed church in Englard—the tenure by which he holds his crown, under what we declare to have been a dignified manifestation of personal feeling against the gross insult which has been offered it by a hireling men dicant agitator, and his yet more debased vassals, that these tribunitial irestigatnrs of treasonable democracy— of infidel depravity or papal bigotry, have singled out him, as the mark of their toadlike denunciation ? The noblemen and gentlemen of East Worcestershire, amongst whom we have some staunch friends, have formed a proper estimate of this pitiful affair, and it is but justly complimentary to them that we should, in the columns of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD, re-echo their noble senti ments—promulgate the moral castigation they have in flicted on the parties who have thus lowered themselves in the scale of human credit. Cowards at heart, but tyrants in principle, such creatures shrink front the re: sponsibility of law, and avoid the penalties of preniun ire by a dastardly subterfuge ; but they are as morally re sponsible to Gad and to their country as though they had, ' in the eye of the law, performed an act of veriest treason against the majesty of the throne, always held sacred. We will not enlarge much upon this disgusting subject ; nor pollute our ink further with the self-degradation in which these heroes of liberal rule—these twigs of easy virtue have placed themselves, as the living reco►ds of their own shame, before a loyal and offended nation. Their jaco binical attempt to lessen the popularity of him, who has been the theme of our rejoicing, as identified with our holy cause, is like the " whisper of another faction," now pressing as an incubus on the vitals of the state, but which we are preparing to throw off by every honourable and ',very moral means within our power, and the thun dering echo of " Church and King," sent forth by twice eight thousand voices from our constititutional borongh will silence the croaking of these worthless frogs, who are only fit to be devoured by the stork, or swallowed by the kites and ravens of their own creation. To Mr. Pa kington and his independent band of conservative allies in Worcestershire, every commendation is due for their having so boldly separated themselves from the branny offal of social disorganization—the democratical misrule attempted to be set up so near them; and that .its advo cat4s, as long as they possess a local habitation or a name, may be avoided as common pests, by the worthy and the good; and the contamination of their disloyalty exposed to their owtt families, neighbours, and friends. We re gret the impossibility of dilating upon the excellent speeches delivered by Lord Redesdale, by Mr. Paclaivg ton, Major Bond, and other gentlemen belonging to the county; but the grand march of conservatism has rushed forward so strongly upon us, that we can now only assure them of our warm and cordial reciprocity of interest, and bid them God's speed ! The triumphant exposition of popery which has taken place at Hereford, before an orthodox and learned body, and before an assembly of educated and intelligent minds, competent to form a correct estimate of its ini quity, is conclusive. All the refined sophistry—all the deep-toned jesuitry—all the crafty subterfuge . of Dr. Dens Murray, improved upon as they have been by the finishing counsel of the holy Father himself, in his pa ternal love for his Irish subjects, have crumbled into dust 1 Let the speeches delivered at Hereford be placed in juxta-position with Dr. Murray's recently published pastoral letter, and let every man capable of exercising the powers of ratiocination—of thought—of reflection, and divested as much as possible of religious prejudice, on the score of religious feeling, form his own judgment of the religion of Dr. Murray, supported by his admitted protege, Peter Dens, compared with the religion of the reformed Protestant Church of England, built upon the unmutilated gospels of our blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and we dread not the result. Popery has its fair as well as its dark side, a fact which is known to every man who has properly become acquainted with its system of refined mystification. A more richly illustra tive specimen of lie truth and justice of this assertion could not well be adduced, than that furnished by Dr. Murray, in his pastoral letter; it is altogether one of the most plausible and artfully written compositions we have have read, well calculated to disarm the prejudices of superficial thinkers or readers, and like Challmer's " Garden of the Lord," to make Romanism appear mild, meek, tolerant, and fair to the eye—in fact the persecuted instead of the persecuting church; but the veil is too flimsy, and ere long we purpose tearing it to pieces. With regard to Protestantism, and its happy progress amongst ourselves, our columns bear sufficient witness, that the assaults of its enemies have but redoubled the exertions—aroused the honest zeal of its friends; and it were easy for us to dilate upon the last week's scene, and fill the whole of our space with a commentary upon the two events which have drawn the attention of the whole kingdom to our patriotic town, and which will henceforth, and without any reservation, stand forward as CONSTITUTIONAL LIVERPOOL; but we must claim the indulgence of our readers, and wait for time and space, to do further justice to the late splendid gatherings; whilst we will not entirely neglect the interesting mat ters pressed on our attention, by our distant friends, for whose warm interest and accumulating correspondence we feel particularly grateful. THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.--On Tuesday next the different wards will be called upon to fill up the vacancies occasioned by the retirement of sixteen of the town councillors and the death of another. We need not urge upon our readers the notorious fact that the tyrant majority, which has introduced such fearful changes into our system of municipal government, is no cred►t to the town. Every one, possessed of a grain of common sense, considers our town council, as at present constituted, to be a stigma upon the name of Liverpool—a nuisance of a more disgusting nature, and of a more formidable cha racter, than any about which they have been recently legislating at the council-board. We repeat, it is is a nuisance which must positively be abated. The people of Liverpool must not rest satisfied until they have completely purged the Town-hall of all the radical leaven which is now deposited there. This, however, will be no very easy task. These radical locusts will cling with the utmost tenacity of grasp to the sweets of office. They will never yield until compelled to do so by an irresistible popular movement. But they must give way before the spirit which they have themselves aroused in Liverpool by their unreasonable proceedings. Out they must go—we must give them no quarter—we must allow them no further opportunities for working mischief—they must no longer be permitted to outrage the feelings of this protestant community. Protestants of Liverpool ! be careful in withholding your votes from men who are prepared to convert your scriptural schools into nurseries of popery. Whether episcopalians or dissenters, if you value the word of God as the securest basis on which a system of education for the poor can be built, we fervently urge you to require a pledge from the candidate that claims your suffrages, that lie will strenuously exert himself to accomplish the re-in troduction of the Bible into the corporation schools. Be contented with nothing short of this. Our radical con temporaries complain that we are not sufficiently explicit in specifying what alterations we wish is) be made in the policy of the town-council. Let us be understood, then, when we say that the corporation schools must be rescued from their present management. They must not be given up to the control of the popish priests. The great charter of our salvation must be opened before the pupils, with out reserve—without mutilatii n. The poor infants who are provided, by the munificent bounty of this opulent town, with gratuitous instruction in these schools, must be permitted to raise their voices in the accents of prayer and praise to their Maker at the commencement and the close of their daily avocations. Habits of early piety must be inculcated, and correct views of the sublime verities of the christian religion must be imparted. Public mo rality —reverence for truth—and an absorbing anxiety for the welfare of immortal souls, imperatively demand that the schools should be once more placed under the unfettered control of orthodox ministers of the gospel. We call upon our townsmen to unite for the cosournme.- tion of this object —so praiseworthy in itself—so honour able to the christian feeling of the people of Liverpool— and so materially affecting the eternal destinies of thou sands of our population. Three years will suffice for in fusing patriotism enough into the council to overrule the nefarious projects of its destructive majority. Let the conservatives of Liverpool bear this in mind—three years from the date of the last election will enable them to obtain a practicable majority in the town council. We m ay, in the natural course of things, anticipate eighteen or twenty vaeancies annually, and at the expiration of the third year eight of the aldermen will have to resign those honours to which they have so few pretensions. Thus a number of vacancies equal to the whole batch of radicals who were promoted last December will occur in the course of three years ; and will not our conservative friends endeavour to profit by this circumstance ? Will not the reaction, now so undeniably in progress, cause a decided preponderance of conservative candidates to be elected each successive year—suffiriett, in the aggre gatt, to outnumber their opponents ? Tuesday next will furnish an answer to this question. We hear the most favourable accounts from all the wards ; but lot not ou r friends be over confident of success—let them not rest upon their oars—let them continue with unabated zeal and energy. in the prosecution of their plans. We have hitherto abstained from publishing any list of the candidates for the respective wards; but now that the lists have been filled up on both sides, we are the better prepared to enter upon their examination. We candidly acknowledge that it would have been far more consonant to our feelings to have abstained from any animadversion upon the pretensions of some of the radi cal candidates. There are among them many respectable individuals—several churchmen—and a few of whom we had fondly hoped better things. But while they consent to have their names linked with papists and unitarians — while they consent to act in concert with avowed repub licans in politics and sceptics in religion—while they condescend to pledge themselves to a line of policy which we are compelled to condemn as destructive to all the venerated institutions of our native land, as well as ma nifestly injurious to our local interests—while they time degrade themselves, they must not expect any exemption from our criticism. Oar opposition to the present town council and their proceedings is one of principle. Per. sonally we respect many of their number who are opposed to us in politics; but there are many of them who have rendered themselves extremely disagreeable by their ha bitual petulance; whilst there are others whom we value just as highly as we would Daniel O'Connell. The following are the candidates, whom we shall de scribe currente calamo ale we go through the different wards in rotation :- 1. Everton and Kirkdale Ward. Mr. Chas. Hot sfall goes out, and declines standing again. The present can didates are Mr. James Heywortt, on the conservative interest, and Mr. George Quayle, on the radical. The former we know to be a gentleman of great abilities— possessed of every qualification for the office—and a sound protestant. But who is Mr. George'Quayle ? If we may be excused a pun, we sincerely hope he will quail before his antagonist. 2. Scotland Ward. Mr. Richard Shiel retires, and stands again on the radical side. Opposed to him we have Mr. Richard Houghton, a gentleman sprung from one of the oldest and most respectable families in Liver pool—a kind landlord—a most benevolent neighbour, to whom the poor in the district are under numberless obli gations—a resident in the ward on his own property, which is very considerable—and also a true churchman. And who is Mr. Shiel ?—an Irish importation of conceit, arrogance, and mock patriotism. Eleotors of Scotland ward ! do, by all means, choose your estimable neigh bour, and place *r. Mahogany Shiel upon the shelf. 3. Vauxhall Ward. Mr. J. D. Thornley retires; and Mr. William Shand, a good pi otestant, is proposed by the conservatives, and Mr. James Muspratt, the owner of one of the greatest nuisances in town, stands on the radical side. We greatly admire this gentleman's modesty in aspiring for the office of a local legislator, in which capacity he would be called upon to give his sanc tion to laws which are expressly framed for abating and abolishing nuisances. We hope this pragmatical re former's blustering pretensions will end like his long chimney—in smoke. 4. St. Paul's. Mr. John Barton stands again on the conservative interest, and there is very little doubt of his return. He has always voted consistently since his in troduction to the council-chamber, and merits a conti nued expression of confidence" from the electors of the ward. He is opposed by Mr. Stitt, of the firm of Acre man and Stitt, of whom we know—nothing. He is, of course, an untried man—Mr. Barton has been tried, and has not been found wanting. 5. Exchange Ward. Mr. Thomas Sands is brought . forward in this ward on the conservative interest. He is well known in town as a respectable merchant, and a leading member of that loyal body—the Wesleyan methodists. We are sure that every true churchman and every consistent dissenter in the ward will give him a vote, if he happens to be an elector. His known libe rality of sentiment must necessarily render him popular. His principles are strictly conservative, which those of his opponent, Mr. James Mellor, are not. He has uniformly voted on the radical side while in council — that is his condemnation. 6. Castle•street Ward. Mr. Thomas Grindstone Bolton stands again on the radical interest. We must by all means get rid of this gentleman, who has rendered himself so very conspicuous as the enemy of the esta blished church. So inveterate has been his spleen against the church, that he has, Quixote-like, proclaimed war against the organ-blowers, sextons, and music books. He cannot be better superseded than by Mr. John Wilkinson, the vice-president of the tradesmen's conservative association, who sustains one of the most honourable characters which can grace an Englishman— that of an honest, straightforward, loyal tradesman. The electors of this ward can have no hesitation in making their choice. 7. St. Peter's. Mr. Nathan Litherland, of the old and respectable firm of Heyes and Litherland, stands on the conservative interest. Those who know Mr. Litherland appreciate the happy union in his person of the perfect gentleman—the kind friend—the true patriot—and the strict rectitude of the British merchant. He is opposed by Mr. Bright, who stands again. Mr. Bright has voted with the radical tail—his further services must therefore be declined. 8. Pitt-street Ward. Mr. R. W. Preston, another of the radical tail, claims a renewal of their suffrages from the electors of this ward. We are happy to hear, how ever, that Mr. John Bibby is to displace him. Mt. Bibby is too well known as a respectable merchant and a strenu ous supporter of the constitution to need any further remark. 9. Great George's Ward. Our highly -esteemed townsman Mr. Charles Lawrence stands for this ward, with every prospect of success. He is opposed by Mr. Henry Ripley. 10. Rodney-street Ward. Mr. John Nelson Wood, one of the present auditors of the borough, and an un flinching conservative, is opposed by Mr. Thomas Holt, the radical representative. The latter gentleman must be laid aside—like a broken teapot. 11. Abercrotnby Ward. This ward will be contested by Mr. Thomas Brocklebank, who has condemned him self by his votes in the council, and Mr. Thomas Kaye, of the Liverpool Courier, an old and truly respectable tradesman. We hear that his canvass has been very successful. If elected, the choice will reflect honour upon the ward. 12. Lime-street Ward. Mr. Ambrose Lace, a gentle man universally known, and respected by all parties, stands on the conservative interest, and is opposed by a Mr. Vincent Scroggius, Muggins, Higgins, or some such outlandish name, of whom we have never heard before. 13. St. Ann's Ward. Mr. John Naylor Wright—than whom no man in Liverpool is more entitled to a seat in the town council—is here opposed by a Mr. Mason. Who is he ? and what are his pretensions ? 14. West Derby Ward. Mr. John Smith, conserva tive, is here opposed by Mr. R. W. Wood, radical. 15. South Torteth Ward. There are two vacancies here—one occasioned by the death of Mr. Sharpies. The conservative candidates are Mr. Thomas Murray Glad stone, and Mr. Alexander Smith, son of Mr. Smith, of Fulwood. The radical candidates are Mr. Francis Jor dan, and Mr. Jonathan Platt. 16. North Toxteth Ward. Mr. John Sheppard is sup ported by the conservatives. His address proves him to be a man of correct political principles, and of cultivated mind,. His opponent is Mr. George Ramsden. Now, let us again urge the merchants, the'iradesmen, the publicans—and, in short, every class of our towns men, to unite in one strong and vigorous effort for the expulsion of the radical faction from the town council. Up, and at them, like men 1.. CORONER'S INQUEST.—An inquest was held on Wednesday, before I'. F. Curry, Esq., coroner, touching the death of Wm. Mills, a young man who, in crossing the Haymarket ou the 9th instant, was knocked down by a horse and cart, and received thereby a .evere injury on the head, from the effects of which he died i❑ theslotirtuary, on the 17th instant. Verdict—" Ac cidental death." OCT. 28 LIVERPOOL MICH_4EL,IIAS SESSIONS. CROWN COURT-TUESGA Y UTTERING RASE COIN. John Thickerty, an old offender, pleaded guilty to an indict.' ment charging hini with having feloniously put off to one Ann ' Howard a counterfeit shilling. It was stated that the prisonir had been frequently in custody, and convicted on similar charges. The court sentenced hint to seven yeaos' transpor tation. ROBBERY. Arthur Gore was charged with having stolen a watch, the pro perty of Lewis Woolf Levien, one watch the property of Wm. John Burgess, and one watch the property of Lesser Dutch. It appeared that the habit of the prisoner had been to gp to the shops of different watchmakers and request to look at some par ticular watch which he pointed out in the window. While he pre tended to be deeply engaged in the examination of the woteb, a colleague of his would enter and occupy the attention of the proprietor in searehing for certain small articles from the win dow, which he would point out. The prisoner then ran out of the shop with the watch which had been given him to examine. The charges were fully made out, and the jury found the pri soner guilty on all of them. The learned recorder passed sen tence of transportation for seven years. ROBBERY PROM THE PERSON. Sarah Eccleston was indicted for having feloniously stolen one. purse, containing 16 sovereigns, from the person of Maurice Jones. The prosecutor, it appears, was a stranger in Liver pool. He was imprudent enough to accompany th• prisoner to a house of ill fame, where she robbed him of his purse and the sum of money above-mentioned. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the court sentenced her to imprisonment for twelve calendar months. ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON. William Price was indicted for having stolen a silver watch, the property of John Kelly, from his person. The prosecutor stated that, having taken a great quantity of beer, he went out of town in the direction of the Zool4cal Gardens. Here he laid himself down and fell asleep. Aftetsome time a policeman aroused him and he went away, but he went to an old building and again fell asleep. When he awoke, he found that he had been, by some means or other, deprived of his watch. He gave immediate information to the police of the circumstance. 'fbe prisoner stated in his defence that he had found the watch in the street about a fortnight before he pawned it. The jury found him guilty. The prisoner stated that he bad been em ployed by Mr. Samuel Holme, whom he doubted not would give bun a good character. The learned recorder said that even if his story were true that he had found the watch, yet he had acted with dishonesty, as lie had appropriated it to his own use. He should give hint an opportunity of bringing the testi mony of Mr. Holme before lie disposed of him. Al six o'clock the prison was again brought up. Mr. Holme did 'not make his appearance, but a witnees who had known the prisoner in Mr. Holme's service gave him a general good character. As he had already been imprisoned for a mouth, the recorder passed sentence that he should be imprisoned for one month longer. STREET ROBBERY. George Meredith, a genteel-looking young men, was charged with having stolen fourteen shillings, the property of Ellis Farn worth, from the person of Jane Farnworth, his wife. Mrs. Farnworth gave testimony that on the night of the fancy ball she stood with her husband amongst the crowd at the top of Water-street looking at the parties who were entering the Town-hall on that occasion. Suddenly she felt the hand of some person in her pocket. She turned and saw the prisoner, who bad lifted her cloak and had his hand in her pocket. He instantly withdrew it and darted off. The attention of her hus band had been attracted, and he pursued the prisoner, whom he overtook in the Goree without having lost sight of him. The money wars found in his possession. It appeared that the. pri soner bore a very bad character, having been frequently before in custody. The prisoner begged for mercy on account of his father, whose heart, he said, would be broken if he were sent out of the country. The learned recorder animadverted severely on the incorrigible wickedness of the prisoner, and stated that he thought it would be an act of mercy to his family to send him out of the country. The prisoner was sentenced to transporta tion for seven years. BURGLARY. John Owens was indicted fur having stolen seventeen papers of copper, containing five shillings each, the property of h.en neth M'Keown. The latter stated that he was a baker, and his shop was in Whitechapel. The prisoner had been in his ser vice, which he bad left about a week before the loss took place. He had been in his employ ten weeks. The police-officer of the district saw the prisoner on the night of the robbery, near the premises, and had spoken to him several times, when he stated that ho was wanted at an early hour in the bakehouse, and was waiting for some person to come with the keys. On the follow , ing morning, Mr. M`Keown found that his shop had been broken into, and the money abovernentioned stolen. Mr. Adamson, of Vauxhall-road, proved, that the prisoner had taken to his shop a quantity of copper, folded in paper, similar to that described by the prosecutor, with a request to hav e it exchanged for silver or gold. The jury prono u nced th e pri soner guilty. He pleaded hard for mercy, and the Recorder or dered him to be put down till be should consider of the sentence. At six o'clock he was again placed at the bar, when the Re corder, after expatiating on the enormity of the crime, passed sentence of transportation for seven years. POCKET PICKING. James Taylor, aged 17, and Philip Sweeny, 19, were indicted under a charge of having feloniously stolen a silk handkerchief from the person of Mr. James Abbot. The case against the prisoner was clearly proved, and the jury immediately returned a verdict of guilty. The learned Recorder passed against both prisoners, sen tence of transportation for seven years. ROBBERY. Thomas Regan, aged 28, Sarah Haggett, 40, and Mary English, aged 25, were indicted for having feloniously stolen £4 17s. 6d. the property of Patrick Higgins. The jury found all the pri soners guilty. Sarah Haggett was sentenced to transpottatioti for seven years; Thomas Regan and Mary English Were or dared to be imprisoned for twelve months each. IMPUDENT ROBBERY. ". William Crawford, aged 18, was indicted for having feloni ously stolen a silver coffee pot, value £lB, from the shop of Louis Samuel, silversmith, Lord-street. Mr. Maunsall Lewis Samuel, son of the prosecutor, stated that on the 9th of July, at a little before ten o'clock, he placed the coffee-pot produced on the counter of his father's shop, soon after which the pri soner rushed in, seized it and ran away. The shopman, who happened to be on the other side of the counter, pursued him and took him into custody. The jury found the prisoner guilty. A previous conviction for felony was r e ad an d p rove d, and`th.e court passed sentence of transportation for life. BURGLARY. Robert Welsh was indicted under a charge of having stolen a watch, a chain, and two keys, and a pocket handkerchief from the house of Thomas Rees. The latter stat e d th a t h e was a boatman, of Flintshire. On the 14th of August last, he left the articles in question at his house. He went out of town for the day. When he returned he found that a pane of glass had been cut out of the window, through which an entrance had been ef fected into the house, and the property abovementioned athren. The prisoner was taken into custody at• Liverpool, by officer Thomas Ainsworth. The prisoner had been previously env victed under the name of Throgmorton. He was sentenced to transportation for 14 years. ROBBREY FROM THE PERSON. Mary Ann Jenkins was indicted for baying stolen some-sove reigns from the person of Josiah Stokes. The jury found het guilty, and she was sentenced to seven years' transportation. • WEDNESDAY. EXCENSIVB FORGERY ON THE BANK OF IRELAND.—Geergt Jackson, a middle aged man, was charged on three indictments charging him with forging thirty shilling notes of the bank of Ireland. The first indictment was for using two plates, on one of which was engraved a certain part of a promissory note, Oure porting to be a promissory note of the governor and company of the bank of Ireland, and on the other of which was engraved a promissory note of the said governor and company. The in dictment further alleged, that he used the said plates by deliver ing them to oue Edward Thompson, to the intent that he might print them as part of such promissory notes. The other counts laid the offence in different ways. Mr.Tileofia se conducted the prosecution, and Mr.VENe Bees appeared for the defence. Edward Thompson deposed that he was a copper plate printer, working at Ne. 8, Gorse Piazzas. About a month since the prisoner called upon him at his shop, and repeated his visits on six different days, coming twice a-day on some occasions. When the prisoner first caine to witness, he brought nothing with him, but asked if he would work for him for over time. He afterwards brought two plates for witness to work. (The plates were bete produced and indentified.) The prisoner then produced an agreement wrote out on a piece of paper which witness signea. l'he prisoner retained the agreement in his possession, and pro duced a bible, upon which the witness was to swear that he would not divulge the nature of the work to any man living. Witness refused to swear. It was then agreed that witness should produce 550 impressions from the two plates. This.oc curred on the third day. Prisoner did not leave the plates in possession of witness, hut merely tick them out of his pocket and showed them to witness. He brebght the plates on the second dey, when witness said he must have an impression from one of them, so as to be able to print the others exact. This was on Saturday evening about 6 o'clock. He (witness) then got a plate and esruck off an impression in the presence of the pri soner. The prisoner came to witness again on Monday, bring ing with him the plates, and about 200 pieces of paper to print the notes upon. Witness then struck off three impressions, of which the prisoner took up two and the witness kept a- third- On Tuesday the prisoner again called, when witness informed. him he could not print any snore that day. On Wednesday be was again importuned by prisoner to print the notes, but witness made au excuse that he was going to Cheshire, and put the pri soner off until 12 o'clock, at which hour be again called, bring ing with him both the plates. Witness then struck off twelve impressions in the prisoner's presence, and be put them one by one into his hat. Witness and the prisoner then went out to gether, and were walking along Brunswick-street, when Ains worth the officer came and took the prisoner into custody. Ains worth tore open the prisoner's waistcoat, and took the plate 4 from him. [ The witness produced the note h e hadetained• It was evidently a beautifully executed forgery. Therates were said to have been engraved in France.] On being cross-examined, he said he bad lived two years in Liverpool, before that he worked in Edinburgh. He bad ne t been engaged there as a nose in th e police. Witness wrote to the bank of Ireland, and informed them of the application th e prisoner had made to him. Witness read the inscription of the plate. He could not see the word " not" between these " I promise" and "to pay." There was something, but it via s so small as not to be discernable with the naked eye on the plate. James Ainsworth, a consta bl e, d epose d to his having ta ke the prisoner into c us t o d y on W e d nes d ay the 6th instan t, at 3 quarter past one o'clock in the day.
