• THE SOCIAL EVIL. The following. address will be read to-morrow in all the Catholic Chapels in Liverpool : Alexander, by the Grace of God, and favour of the Apostolic See, Bishop of Liverpool. To our dearly beloved Brethren and Children in Jesus Christ, the Clergy, Secular and Regular, and the faithful of the City of Liverpool. • Health and Benediction in the Lord. There is a sin, the scourge of society in every age and country, which reigns in our city with a savage effrontery and turbulence unparalled in any other city in the world. It is a sin so shameful that St. Paul forbids us to name it (1) ; and in the langu4ge of every people it is branded with the epithet of degrading. It quenches the light of faith, blinds the understanding, deadens the affections of the heart; brutalizes the soul; and kills the body. It effaces in us the image of God to whose likeness we are created (2) ; it crucifies anew our Lord Jesus Christ; whose members we are (3), and it pollutes the t em pl e o f th e H o l y Gh os t , w h o dwelleta .in us. (4). It is sustained by theft, defended by perjury, and ended not anfreqnently by suicide. It pours its polluted stream through every rank of life, poisoning both old young with its noisome exhalations. It is a hideous ulcer, disgnsting to the sight, which heats into society as wealth increases .and population multiplies, with out even the veil of decency to conceal it from the public gaze. Bat wheresoever and by whemsoever committed, it crieth to heaven for ven g eance (5), and the anger of God is upon it (6). It mad e him who is unchangeable repent that he had made man, and led him, whose mercy - is above his jus tice, to destroy all _the substance that was upon the earth, from man even to beast, and the creeping thin g s, and fowls of the air, by breaking up the fountains of th e great deep, . and opening the flood -gates of heaven, so that th e wa t er .stood fifteen cubits higher than . the mountains which it covered(7). It brought down fire and brimstone from heaven upon Sodom and Gomorrah, and made the ashes rise up from from the earth as the smoke of a furnace, so that those cities, and all their inhabitants, and all things that spring , from the earth - , and all the country round about, once beau tiful as the paradise of the Lord (8), ware d es t roye d (9), and in their place now lies a dreary, dismal, silent sea, whose barren shores, redolent of fire and brimstone, asso ciate it with unquenChable fire and eternal death. It brought death,. sudden and terrible, on twenty-four thousand Israelites, in the land of Moab, the chief of whom God ordered to be hung on gibbets against the sun, that his ' fury might be turned away, and the scourge cease from the children of Israel (10). It brought shame, and abomination, and disgrace, and destruction on Nineveh, a great city of three days' journey (11). Because of the multitude of its fornication God laid it waste, and fire devoured its bars and its chariots even to smoke ; and its people perished by the sword; and the spoil of silver, and of gold, and precious furniture was delivered into the hands of strangers, the most cruel of the nations (12) ; and the city was destroyed, and rent, and torn, and its name found a grave in its disgrace, so that the most learned travellers cannot agree on its site; for : the indignation of • God was poured out. like fire, and who shall resist in the fierceness of his anger ? (13) It brought judgment and desolation upon the tribes of Israel ; for God had poured out His wrath upon them like water, and consumed them like rottenness, because they began to go after filthiness and committed fornication (14). It brought the strongest and the wisest "of men to grief; for Samson's love Zar Dalila, the woman of Sorec, led to his capture geld death by the Philistines, after he had been cruelly deprived of sight (15) ; and Solomon's ardent love for strange women turned his heart away to follow strange gods, so that God rent his kingdom asunder, and has left his salvation a matter of doubt (16). Now, as with God there is no change nor shadow of alteration, but He is always the self same (17), it follows that punishment must await the guilty after death, if it does not overtake them in life. And so we are taught to believe ; for The Apostle warned the Hebrews (18) that fornicators and adulterers will be judged by the living God, into whose hands it is a fearful thing to fall (19). Be not de ceived, he also wrote to the Corinthians (20), neither forth cetera., nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor liars with mankind, shall possess the kingdom of God. .He repeated the same lessons to the Galations (21). The works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, unclean ness, immodesty, luxury, of the which I foretel you, as I have foretold you, that they who do such things shall not obtain .the kingdom of God. And he bade the Ephesians (22) to know and under stand that no fornicator nor unclean person had any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. St. Peter (23) warns. all Christians,'that they especially who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleaness, will -be reserved unto the day of judgment, to be tormented. St. John •(24), in his vision at Patmos, saev the Eternal, the Beginningand the end of all things, seated on his throne, and heard from his lips 3 confirmation of this terrible truth, that whore . mongers and the aborainablo should have their portion in the pool burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. Such are the punishments denounced against the great sin of g reat cities. It is in vain for those who are guilty of it to say, Who seeth me ? darkness encompasseth me about, and the walls cover me; and no man seeth rre : for there is One, whose eyes are brighter: than the sun, beholding round about all the ways of men, and the bottom of the deep, and looking into the hearts of men, into the most secret parts ? (25) Yet, hateful - in the sight of God and man, as is. this• loath some and degrading sin, the comp assionate heart turns not away from the siune r . If Gad, the avenger, has • threatened it with eternal death, God, our Saviour, has died • on the cross to atone for it. It is not for us, therefore, to exercise the prerogative of justice, but of mercy. We must imitate the compassion of Jesus rather than the zeal of Phinees ' - for if God promised to the latter the pe ace c f hi s covenant for ever (26), he has also assured us, that it is not his will that one of his little ones should perish (27) It was to a woman of Samaria, who had, in all probability, been divorced • from five husbands, and was then living with a man who was not her husband, that lie promised the gift of living waters, and declared the abrogation of the Jewish sacrifices, and that henceforth God should be adored not in Jerusalem alone, but in . every place (28). When sitting at the table of the Pharisee, he received Magdalene, who was a sinner in the city, at the risk of his reputa ion of a prophet, and dismissed her in peace, with the consoling assurance that her many sins were forgiven her (29). .When . a woman actnally taken in adultery was brought before him foiS i condemnation, he declined to con demn her, though by the law of Moses her crime 'was punishable with death, but, that he might not seem to add a sanction to crime, he bade her sin no more (30). Our Lord further teaches us, by the parable of the lost sheep and the prodigal son, that the penitent must not only be for g iven, but be recei ve d w ith j oy . H e te ll s us t h at, if a man have a hundred sheep, and one should go astray, he wall leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go in quest of the one that is astray, and if he find it, will rejoice more for its recovery than for the safety of- the others ; for . the Son of Han is come to save that which was lost (31). When the prodigal, a wild and- dissipated spendthrift, was driven home by hunger, after having spent the portion of his in heritance with harlots, his father not only received him, but fell upon his neck, and kissed him, and clothed him with his best robes, and placed a ring on his finger, and shoes on his feet, and ordered the fatted calf to be sorrel up, and the household' to make merry with music and dancing, because his lost son had been found (32). • In imitation of her divine spouse, the chereh has adopted a similar spirit of lenity and charity with regard to her children. However grievous their sin, she belolds them with the eye of a tender mother ; she invites, and ( ntreats, and stands with open arms to receive and absolve the peni tent on the first token of sincere repentance; and if st:e is instant in season and out of season, she repi oyes as a mother. or a sister in all charity, with patience and doctrine. (33). When her children, moved with indiscreet zeal, would, like the Sons of Zebedee, call down fire from heaven on &Ten ders, she reminds them that the Son of Man came not to destroy souls, but to save ; (34) or, after the example .a .our Lord, she invites him that is without sin amongst them to cast the first stern; at her that is guilty (35). She reminds the . guiltless too, that they are-as much indebted to, God for their innocence as the wie:ed for their pardon. If one who bath sinned mnch, as St. Aue•ustine observes, stands indebted for the gracious pard.m . of exceeding great debts, another who hatti sinned less, owes to God the bene fit that he hath not defiled him se lf with grievous sins. If no tempter ev.r enticed you, 'was the effe3t of God's special care ran 1 providence in your faVour. , You are indebted to him for preservation from all the crimes which you did not commit ; for there is no sin w'ich , one Cam , mitteth, which another might not commit, if he were not preserved by Him who made him. There are other reasons- why we should look with more of compassion than of indignation on the unhappy women of the town. Pew of them fall thr.mgh the silly vanity o f luxury and s h ow, t h ough the taste for amusernent and the inordinate hive of d r e ss that has sprung up even in the abodes of misery, a id the arts of seduclon,. particularly ' with the young, and lead some to barter chastity and repu tation for fine dresses, the et3.3yrosualphoncl, and the excitement of think. Fewer still fall though many, flattered by the'attent t ior o s r u o n f r t u h l o y desires, b tae easily surrender- their - affections. the them ia an : to the caresses . of the heartless seducer, inarr i iag ' l : o ll ~c t i nn • an a d v .,. the vain hope of conti, „ oatageous (1) Ephes. v. 3. 12.

From the cradle they have lived in an atmosphere of guilt, among thieves and prostitutes, and have never known a mother's love, or experienced a Lther's care. They have never : had an idea of a different mode of life, and, independently of the influence of parental exampre and the absence of any other means of livelihood, they naturally follow the only profession familiar to them thieving and prostitution. Many, though not born in this impure atmosphere, owe their sad lot to the odious neglect of their parents, who, from a desire for a quite house, or not to have their revels disturbed, drive them into the streets, or, from over indulgence, allow them to wander forth, indifferent about the hour of their return. Young children, on their way from school and evening services, are oftentimes enticed to evil by caresses and sweetmeats, or by money, which enables them to go to cheap theatres and other places of amuse ment, the parents meanwhile remaining ignorant of the precocious degradation of their children. But there are parents who have not the excuse of ignorance to plead, who expose their children to corruption with a view to profit, or offer them for hire, or actually sell them for money. Conscience offers but a feeble resistance when children have grown up forgetful of delicacy and decency, from the disgraceful practice of relatives of different ages and sexes, married and unmarried, sleeping in one room, and sometimes in one bed,—a practice which has rendered the common lodging-house a sink of iniquity and the nur sery of crime. Among other causes of the ruin of young persons ought to be enumerated cheap theatres and dancing rooms, fortune-tellers, and obscene books. Sometimes a mistaken sense of duty drives mothers, par ticularly widows or those deserted by their husbands, to earn bread for their starving children by this infamous trade; and occasionally young women, who have been trained to employments that do not remunerate, make up the insufficiency of their wages to support an aged parent by this disgraceful resource ; neither class seeks to live on the wages of sin till other means of subsistence have failed. In fact, indigence, resulting from insufficient earnings, helps to make women. into prostitutes, as it makes men into thieves. In addition to the pressure of want, intrigues and tricks are resorted to at home and abroad, by infamous agents, largely recompensed, to satisfy the exhaustless demands of licentiousness Young women who, for love of change, or ill•treatment at home, or desire of work, come into town from the country to engage.as do mestics, are entrapped by them, and, under pretence of . being shown suitable lodgin g s, are led to houses of ill-fame. If they subsequently refuse t o yield to caresses and cajoleries, violence and terror, they are drugged with narcotics, and there are many instances of them seeking relief in suicide, when returning consciousness reveals to them the degrada tion they have endured. Of those who walk the streets in London, eight thousand are said to perish annually by suicide or disease ; and the maintenance of the vice is said to cost eight millions of money per annum. In Edinburgh, with a populatien not half that of Liverpool, the enormous sum of two hundred thousand is annually expended on its support. Our heart sinks within us when we contemplate the state of our own city, which is said to surpass London in vice. Thousands of vessels unceasingly enter its docks, and hundreds of thousands of emigrants from the United King dom and the Continent make it their temporary abode on their way to the land of the West. In this immense vat the elements of prostitution collect, ferment, and boil over. Untrammelled and unchecked, it stalks abroad unblushingly in open day, like a roaring lion, seeking whom it my devour. In the evening it is said to be impossible to walk along with out being stopped or addressed in the most obscene manner, and in language of the most revolting kind. Almost every man that passes their place of resort is taken by the arm or the skirts of his coat by bad women, and, if he refuses their company, he is cursed and insulted in language described as brutish and disgusting. They want men, and men they will have at any cost, if it be only to rob them ; for prostitution has become the assured refuge of theft, and robberies of a daring character are almost daily committed through its instrumentality. Public morality is ruined, whilst the Legislature, local and national, turns away in disgust from the hideous picture, or remains dumb and inactiee in its presence. It is lamentable to contemplate the number of women who are apprehended in our city by the police for offences against the law. For the year eadine. September 29th, 1858, the police returns show 'the number to have been, for indictable offences, 1,551, of whom 620 were known thieves,' and 424 were prostitutes. For offence4. summa rily determined, there were apprehended 8,102 women, of whom 4,349 were for being drunk and disorderly ; of these females 611 were known thieves, and 2,633 were prosti tutes. Out of 1,370 persons who were sent for trial, 612 were females. There were at large, known to the police, in September last, 2,579 prostitutes, of whom 64 were under 16 years of age : there were also 257 other females who were either thieves, or the receivers of stolen goods. There were also 887 houses of ill fame, besides 358 other houses of bad character, the resort of thieves and' prostitutes ; but these figures do not express the total number, as there are many- females known to the police, under the age of 16, and of more mature years, who, • though following other occupations, live par tially by prostitution. This is what the police know ; but as Leon Faucher observes, they do not know all. And what has to be done with this poisonous swamp of vice and degradation, which is said to be more dangerous in its ravages than influenza, plague, or cholera ? Con fine the tempters to their dens, exclaims the indignant citizen who has met them prowling about day and night, with bold gaze and in gaudy attire, and has, perhaps, had to lament the fall of a youthful son who, if left to himself, would never have sought their haunts. But it is not nscessary as . a physician observes, to be a husband or a father to feel all the fatal effects of prostitution; it is sufficient to have a 'mother, and to reflect how the sex to which she belong s is degraded by the condition and h a bit s o f pros ti tut i on. Not withstanding that it is a revolting spectacle in our streets, the exhaustless source o f cr i me, the companion of robbery and violence, the parent of suicide and murder, the channel of loathsome and infectious disease, and the ruin of families, and that, stamped with the last seal of infamy as the most hideous moral stain in the eyes of mankind, it consigns to a speedy and an eternal death, it will be followed as long as it affords enjoyment to the licentious, money to the covetous, bread to the famishing, and a hearth to the homeless. In defiance of public contempt, •in despite of the brutality of which they are the victims, of the frightful diseases they contract, and of the suffering , mental and physical, they endure, women will be found to earn a livelihood by the wages of sin, as long as men are found base and worthless enough to pay them for a degradation which [they do not share. While the poor infatuated creatures are in health and spirits. to follow their sinful calling, those who are instru mental in bringing them to ruin are all kindness and attention; bnt the moment an y o f th em f a ll sick, they are treated with unkindness, cruelty, and neglect. Their course is rapid and brief; for in prostitution. there is a constant descent in the scale of.debasemeut. They break down in a . few years, sometimes in as many months, under the united influence of spirituous liquors, misery, and disease. The passion for drink becomes irresistible; they cannot bear life without it, nor stand the memory of. what they have been, nor the thought of what they are. Forced to wander the streets by day and by night, through icy Niinds and snow and rain, struggling against hunger, cold, and disease, supporting life anil strength by stimulants, • .and killing remorse by excitement, rejected from every home, they sink down at last in the wretched haunt of characters worse than themselves, and, without protection and without mercy, rot in want, filth, and disease, "On a wretched pallet, in a filthy garret," writes an eloquent Reviewer, " with no companions. but the ruffians, drunkards, and harlots with 'whom she, had cast her lot ;• amid brutal curses, ribald language, . and drunken l a u g ht er ; w ith a past lay i ng its weight upon her soul • with a prospective b e y on d th e grave which the littl e s he retains of her early religion' lights up for her with the lurid light of hell, this poor daughter of huny.nity terminates a life, of which, if the sin has been grievous and the weakness lamentable, the expiation has been fearfully tremendous," Our object in this address is not to excite your sympathy for those who are still_ plying their infamous trade, but to implore your charity for those who are willing to abandon it. They have felt the weight of their chains, and entreat, with impassioned earnestness, to be allowed to regain, through penance and forgiveness, their lost pO s iti on . bi n and licentiousness have yielded to. remorse and shame, and from the depths of their wretchedness they seek to be ad mitted into their Father's house,' not even as hired servants, but that they may do penance for their sins, that they may wash the feet of Jesus with their tears, and wipe them with the hairs of their head, and kiss them and anoint them. Who shall spurn the kneeling and weeping Magdalene from His presence, when He, who will. come to judge her and 113, has said, "Many sins are forgiven her, - for silo bath loved much : go in vee, thy sins are forgiven thez.."* Will you refuse the victim of seduction an asylum wherein" she may do penance, when you do not hesitate to receive her betrayer into your family circle ? Will you shut the door of hope against her, whilst you admit him to be the• companion of your daughters ? Shall he be allowed to take his place among tha innocent, and she be left alone with the irreparable ? G o d forbid ! The charity of the faithful, and especially of one who does not let the left hand know what the right hand Both, but whose alms our Heavenly Father, who seeth in secret, will n'ply, has enabled us to open an asylum, unde r th e a ff ect i onate care o f t h e Si sters of the d Shepherd, with the best results.

By command of my Lord Bishop, JOIIN CANON WALKER, Secretary. Any of our Reverend Brethren will receive the offerings of the faithful for the good work, or they may be paid into the Union Bank, Liverpool, to the credit of the Right Rev.

Of the week's business Messrs. Wright, Jun. and Co., say: Since issuing our circular advices of 25th ult. per Canada, we have experienced a steady demand for cotton; but although the daily sales have been to a full average extent, at firm prices, the market has ruled inanimate, and holders have evinced a willingness to meet the inquiry with very liberal offerings. The import is restricted, and onr stock diminishes sensibly, but large supplies afloat and the promise of 'additional incomings arriving to a paying mar ket, induces all classes to take advantage of the existing opportunity to lessen their interest. The trade must now be holding some excess beyond their con sumptive reqnirements, and are thus fortifying their position against the influence likely to be produced by de creasing receipts at the American ports, and the consequent tendency to lower crop estimates, which, in their turn, bias the action of speculators and exporters, whose opera tions continue on a fair scale, and contribute to the main tenance of present rates. Both home and Continental po litical matters engross attention, and although less im portance is attached to their course in commercial circles, they must not be regarded as undeserving of notice ; the duties of the Congress are, however, likely to absorb some time, and in the interim the probable issue is favourably reviewed. Money matters continue easy, but a Russian and French loan, together with an addition to the Indian fund, and the large exportation of silver to the East, implies a tightening influence to disconnt rates, and li have the effect of depressing the funds and other public se curities. The Ministerial defeat on the Reform question, and the adjournment of the house until Monday, has not exercised any influence on to-day's markets, which closes without animation, and very liberal offerings give the purchaser the advantage of selection. S a l es are estimated at 5.000 bales, 2,000 to speculators and exporters, at prices within the range of quotations. The total sales of the•week, in cluding what has been forwarded from the ship's side, amount to 63,260 bales, of which 49,850 are American. Speculptors have taken 9,070, and exporters 10,070, leaving 44,120 bales of all kinds to the trade. The import for the same time is 27,245 bales, of which 21,925 are American. The quantity known to be at sea from American ports is about 180,000 bales. LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE.- YESTERDAY. BEFORE MR.. MANSFIELD. EYTRAORDINARY CASE. —A boy, named George Lewis, a stranger in the town, was charged by Mrs. Hagarty, of 41, William Henry-street, for having attempted to obtain £5 from her by a false order. It appeared that, some days ago, a boy, not the prisoner, called at Mrs. Hagarty's shop, and produced an order, signed, " J. Hill," requesting that £lO might be sent to him. Mr. Mansfield : Who is Mr. Hill ? Mrs. Hagerty : He is our landlord, and I thought he wanted the money. I had only £9 at the time, and I sent it by the lad. In some time after, the boy came back with the money, saying Mr. Hill was not then -in, but he would call in the evening for it. He did not call, and I spoke to him about it, when he said he had not sent for any money, and, perhaps, whoever .had sent him would do so again, and in case any one did come, to give such into custody. On Thursday, the prisoner came with an order for £5, purporting to be signed by Mr. Hill, and when he presented it, she went out for an officer and gave him into custody. Mr. Hill was examined, and said he did not send the prisoner with the order, nor was the order his ; he never saw the prisoner before. Mr. Mansfield said, the most extraordinary part of the story was the obtaining of the £9 and returning it again. Mrs. Hagerty said, there was a bad half-crown returned in the money. Mr. Mansfield : Perhaps it was a dodge to pass - a base half-crown. In reply to the charge, the prisoner said he was a stranger in town, and on Thursday he met a person in .the street, who asked him to go with the order and he. would give him something. Mrs. Hagarty said she was of opinion that some designing blackguards in Vauxhall-road, had made an instrnment of the prisoner. His Worship said it was fortunate Mrs. Hagarty. had lost only the half-crown. • He ordered the prisoner to be re manded for the present. VIOLENT ASSAULT BY AN ACCOUNTANT.—A person named T. G. Patton, described as an accountant, and collector of debts, having an office in Lime-street, was brought up in cus tody of officer George, 297, on . a charge of having com mitted a desperate assault on German Brneste, a waiter at Mr. Templeman's supper-rooms, Lime-street. The officer said he saw the prisoner in the street, with a broken stick in his hand, and the prosecutor bleeding. The prisoner was drunk at the time. To Mr. Black (for the prisoner). : I did not see the assault, but the priso ner was drunk. The complainant then, in broken English, said th e prev i ous n i g h t, a b out twelve o'clock, the prisoner entered the house, and com menced insulting every one. He was drunk, and witness wanted him to go away, but he refused, and he went to push him out, when he struck him a desperate blow on the head with a heavy stick, and broke both head and stick together with , the one blow. The officer said he had the wounded man taken to the infirmary, where his head was dressed, and .the doctor said it was a serious wound. Mr. Mansfield : Why is the doctor not here ? Officer : I told him to be here at ten this morn ing, but he does not appear. The complainant was cross examined by-Mr. Bluck, and said his master, Mr. Temple man, kept a coffee-house. He did not strike the prisoner. The prisoner did not say he wanted money from Mr. Templeman, nor that he heard he was going. to leave the town, and not pay his debts. A boy, belonging to the coffee-house of Mr. Templeman, corroborated the statement of the complainant, and said he saw the prisoner strike the blow with a heavy stick, and it broke above the iron or, brass ferule on the end of it., from the violence of the blow on the complainant's head. The prisoner came in drunk, and inquired for Mr. Templeman, and witness told him to come in the morning, as that was not a proper time to come. about business, if he had any to do with the master. The prisoner flourished the stick in a dangerous way, and nearly broke a valuable chandelier, and insnited, and threatened to strike several gentlemen in the place. Cross-examined by Mr. Bluck : The prisoner said Templeman owed him money. Mr. Bluck : Did he say Templeman was going to leave the . town, and not pay. his debts —that he could not see him during the day, and that that was the only time he could see He did not, sir, Mr. .Templeman (who was present) said : I do not owe the fellow any money at all. Mr.ußluck to witness : Can Mr. Templeman be seen in the day...about business, the same as any other man ? Witness : Certainly he can; and he is not going to run out of the town. Mr. Black then addressed the courtfor the prisoner,and said he could not justify the assault, but he might say a few words in mitigation. The prisoner, he said, wits some •sort of an accountant and collector of debts, and lie went to Mr. Templemans to collect a debt. (Here Mr. Templeman again denied that he owed anything.) He could not see him during the day, and as he (Mr. Bluck) was instructed to say, the moment he entered the house the complainant struck him, and unfortunately he struck him back with the stick. Mr. Mansfield said it appeared to him to be a very gross outrage, indeed. If there was money due to the prisoner he could look for it at a proper time, and, if not paid, he knew ho had a remedy in another place. He (Mr. Mansfield) had a notion to let the case be dealt with in another place, for-he found that a heavy stick, with a heavy brass end on it, had been broken over the complainant's head. However, he thought, on the whole case, that it would answer the ends of of justice to fine the prisoner £5, .or to be imprisoned for two months. The prisoner, in a very impudent manner, said, I was robbed of £5 then, and can't pay the fine. Mr, Mansfield : Remove that man from the bar. The prisoner was accordingly removed. PUBLICAN'S AND BEER-HOUSE KEEPERS' CASES. BEFORE MESSRS. rivrcnisox AND HOUGHTON. A POINT OF LAW. —William Mellor, publican, Chaloner street, was charged for selling. rum on Sunday morning. Mr. Cobb appeared f or th e defence. The officer said, he got a woman leaving the house on Sunday morning, with some rum in a bottle, and she said she paid for it. Mr. Cobb produced the woman, whose name is Anne Taylor, and she said she Was in the habit of going to the house on Sunday mornings, to clean up the place, for which she got six pease, and an " allowance." of rum, which she used to drink in the shop. On this occasion, however, she asked Mr. Mellor's niece to allow her to take it home in a bottle, as she wanted it to give to a person at home. The young lady did so, and when she was going out: the officer met her and frightened her so much that she did say she paid' for the rum, but that was, as she imagined, to get the blame off the young lady for allowing her to take it out. The young lady was examined and made the same statement. • There was no money paid. Mr. Cobb submitted, that the case should be dismissed, as there was no sale proved. Mr. Wybergh said, if the charwoman received six-pence and a quantity of rum for her services in labour, it was a sale in point of law. Mr. Cobb : But suppose that he did so, and that Mr. Mellor committed an error, you would not punish him for that ? Mr. Wybergh : That's a different thing, Mr. Cobb said the defendant had laid out over £7OO on the house, and it was not likely he would jeopardise his license. The magistrates said they would give the benefit of the doubt to the defendant, and dismiss the complaint. Stephen Wearing, publican. Circus-street, was charged with selling on Sunday. Officer Ferguson, 82, said he saw a woman come fr,;in the back-doer of defendant's house, with ale in a jug. Mr. Black cross-examined the officer at some length, and the witness varied ve r y muc h i n hi s story, and then Mr. Bluck addressed the Cotirt, and said he really shuddered at the swearing of the police in cases of this sort, in order to get a conviction. If they did not swear downright falsehoods, they grossly exaggerated the facts. He designated this case as a gross falsehood on the part of the offiber, and said his client declared most solemnly that there was not a word of truth in the entire statement. He challenged the policeman to produce the woman, but he could not do so. The-case was dismissed. John Jones, publican, Vauxhall-road, was, convicted for selling ale on Sunday Morning ; fined ss. and costs. Anne Houghton, beerhome-keeper, Maddsx-street, was charged for selling ale on' Sunday ; dismissed.., Margaret Pinking, .beerhouse-keeper; Edgar-street, was charged for a like offence ; dismissed. Edward Murphy, beerhouse-keeper, Eaton-street, was summoned for &inlay trading. The case was proved, and a fine of ss. and costs imposed. Henry Hide, beerhouse-keeper, Christian-street, was' charged for a lik e offence ; fined 10s. and costs. Martha Miller, beer-house keeper s , Paul:street, was charged with doing business at illegal hours: The d e f ence was 'that the people in the house were travellers. Fined 10s. and costs. • Wm. Davis, Park-street, was charged with doing business at illegal hours. Fined £1 and costs. Edward Williams, Mann-street, Park, was charged with selling ale on Sunday morning. Fined 10s. and costs. : Aun Platt, Mver-street, was charged with doing business at illegal' hours. The case was disproved, and dismissed. James Taylor, ChurCh-street, Soho, was charged with doing businesS on Sunday. The defence was that there was a wedding party in the house. Dismissed.

In Manchester the demand for Goods and Yarns throughout the week, though on a comparatively small scale individually, nevertheless sum up tolerably large in the aggregate ; and although the Indian merchants are less inclined to enlarge their orders, value is pretty well sustained by contracts in hand ; pro duction consequently proceeds without stocks accu mulating, and all that can be said of an adverse character is that the market has lost some of its former buoyant tone. In the Liverpool Produce Market there has not been much activity this week. Ashes are in moderate demand, without change in value. Retail transac tions are reported in Bark at 8s for Baltimore, and lOs for Philadelphia first, p er cw t. B ees ' Wax is worth £9 2s 6d to £9 5s per cwt, but there is no stock in first hands. Cloverseed has been sold to the extent of 350 bags, at .54s to 56s per cwt. ; an advance on these rates is now demanded. Timothy seed is less inquired for, and opekations are limited to 30 bags, by auction, at 33s per cwt. Only small sales have been effecte d in Lard, at about 50s per cwt. Linseed Cake is very dull, and £9 per ton for good thin oblong is with difficulty maintained. Trans actions in Rice are confined to 50 tierces fair to good at 21s 6d to 22s 6d per cwt. Sales in Rosin embrace 3,000 barrels, chiefly common, at 4s 5d to 4s 7d up to 15s for fine qualities, per cwt. Tallow is firmly held at 53s to 54s 6d per cwt. for good to fine quality. About 300 barrels Spirits of Turpentine have been taken at 41s to 41s 6d per cwt. Messrs.

In-the other departments of. the Stock Exchange firmness prevailed, and the tendency was favourable. British Railway Stock in many instances closed at an advance. In the Discount Market the demand was more active to-day. Little business appears to be done in any quarter below _the Bank minimum. There was, however, not the slightest pressure. An additional sum of £60,000 in bar gold, making an ascertained total of 4220,000 since the date of the' last return, was this day withdrawn from the Bank for exportation to the Continent in payment for silver. The arrival of gold to-day from Australia by the Water Nymph, and the mail steamer Teviot, was £134,000. There is known to be as much as £967,000 at sea,' and about £370,000 may now be con sidered due. It is stated that Government will despatch £400,000 in silver to India by the next steamer. The imports of silver from the Continent continue on a large scale. Upwards of £lOO,OOO arrived yesterday from Rotterdam.—Daily News City Article, Thursday Evening. The English Funds have been heavy throughout the day at a further decline of one-eighth per cent. • There was no foreign news, and very little speculative business. The tone of the general letters from the Continent still seems to exercise a discouraging influence.— Times City Article, Thursday Evening, TRADE IN THE• MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. MANCHESTER, FRIDAY.—The market continues quiet at Tuesday's prices. There is a limited business for the Con tinent, but the demand for India has quite ceased, and prices. for that market are drooping. LIVERPOOL PRODUCE MARKET. -APRIL 1.

The cotton market throughout the past week has, despite the large business doing, been characterised by a general want of animation. With a good daily demand, resulting in extensive operations, holders have exhibited so great a desire to realise at the present currency, and have supplied the market with such extreme liberality, that the buyer has had the advantage of selection and the full rates of last week are barely maintained. Brazil and Egyptian in good demand, and l i d to id per lb dearer. Surat in fair request at full rates. The weekly sales are 63,260 bales, of which 9,070 are on speculation, and 10,070 for export.

Prices of beef have advanced 2s 6d to 5s per tierce, with a fair averame extent of sales, and the market closes very firm, especially for the, finest descriptions, which this year forma far less relative proportion to the whole quantity than in any past season. Pork is steady but not active, Irish, at present prices being preferred to American. Bacon sells slowly at the quotations, and small as the supply of American is it seems enough for the demand. Lard remains in the same dull unsatisfactory state, the sales are on the merest retail scale. Cheese is quiet, but fine qualities con tinue to bring the top quotations. Tallow is in moderate demand, at about last week's prices. Linseed Cake moves slowly, without change in value.
