The Mayor has had to poem to have passed in a slanting direction along the edge of the rafter, and to have gone out of the house about two feet from the gutter of the roof. The inmates were greatly alarmed, but providentially they all escaped uninjured. Two panes of glass were smashed in the window of a house in Harding-street, Windsor, and the chimney of a rice-mill, recently erected at the corner of Bolton-street and Bedford -street, was struck and a larg through tne of the stones of the buildin was made Several other houses in various parts of the town and suburbs were also struck and windows broken, but the damage was in every case, as far as we could learn, very small. The storm ceased about twelve o'clock, but there was a return or it abou 4 a.m, on Monday morning, which was not, howe ver, so long in duration or of so alarming a nature.

Their meals, which were served up in two spacious rooms, that have just been completed, were substantial and excellent : Beef, Lamb, Salmon, with Coffee and Good Old Ale FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM.—On Sunday last, a ser mon was preached in aid of the funds of this institution, at St. Barnabas Church, by the Rev. Thomas Nolan, M.A., incumbent. About forty of the orphan children were present. The text was taken from Jeremiah, cap. xlix, v. 2, " Leave the fatherless children, I will presume them alive; and let thy widows trust in me ;" which was eloquently treated by the rev. gentleman. After the ser mon, a collection was made, which amounted to £3O.

TOWN COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.—At the usual monthly meetin SPLENDID WORKS OF ART, &c., AT THE JUDGES' LODGINGS. We were yesterday favoured (the bustle being over) with a brief view of the whole of the apart ments in the Judges' Lodgings, where the Prince found hospitable quarters at such intervals as he could command during his stay, and slept one night. The house is very was fitted large and commodious in every story, and in it paratively plain in the decoration of the re up with splendid furniture, and costly decors* works of art of high value, curiosities, &c. room, on the lower floor., is esptcially enriched, as is the dining room behind it, with fine paintin- In the former, amongst numerous interestino. ;ions in The drawin e first-rate masters, is a sylendid Teniers, le, from the collection of Christopher Leyland, Esq.

It is, we are informed, the property of our chief magis trate. There are other fine pictures, and, in some of the rooms, splendid prints, but we have not space to notice the whole. There was a grand piano -forte in the drawing room, on which the prince, on one occasion, played with good taste and execution, to the astonishment and delight of the distinguished parties around him. The house is kept in splendid order and cleanliness by Mr. Wharton, who, under instructions of the Corporation, has introduced many improvements. The vestibule, stair cases, &c., were adorned with beaatiful shrubs and flowers, in pots, from the Botanic Gardens, tastefully disposed by Mr. Tinning, the CorporationtGarlener, so as to give the several passages, &c., a cool and delightful arboric effect. Mr. Wharton, the keeper, provided a handsome book for the signature of such of the distinguished parties as slept in, or visited the house. The royal visiter, on being respectfnlly applied to, graciously and instantly headed the list by writing his autograth in bold distinct characters —" Albeit." This was followed by the signatures of the noblemen of ' " A h.ronrn."—" H the retinue pr H. Anson,"—" Hugh Seymour,"—" Francis Sey mour,"—" George Lenox," &c. It is intended hereafter to request the Judges, and other eminent parties who may hereafter visit the house, also to sign their names, so that in a few years the book will become valuable. The Prince sent a polite message to the keeper, express ing his delight with the comforts and arrangements of the house, as well as the attention of all the attendants with, that immediately after entering, from the Grand Banquet, he most :politely declined to repose, for even a short time in any of the state-rooms, and retired to rest in his chambers to recruit himself for the labours of the following day; and, to the shame of all sluggards, be it said, he was up and stirring by seven in the morning. ye just witr nost rare eloquence, wi In spec nd when that is the case who have straightforward and such c nadom a h the c above his collea exercised his fu of our le theinselve better qu occasion, the honour am office than Mr. Bramlev-Moore We know few ding merchants who would have proved to support, on s ignity of his onerous Equally efficient and equally admirable, through out the whole of the proceedings, have been the ar rangements and conduct of the Chairman, Nlr.

We re happy to learn that no injury to life was done, although ,everal persons were knocked down in the streets, and that the damage to prop-rty has been, comparatively speaking, trifling in amount. Superintendent Leverett, who was going down Seel street about eleven o'clock, was struck, and for a time was quite stunned and everpowered. Officer 176 (Slack) who was in Duke-street, was also stunned. Officer 224 was knocked flit on the ground in Upper Parliament street, and was found by a publican in such a state of stupor that he was obliged to be conveyed home. Another Officer in Upper Parliament street, Windsor, was knocked down, but was sufficiently recovered to proceed home in a short time. One of the Bridewell-keepers (Wilson) was struck by the electric fluid in Jordan-street bridewell, and remains confined to his room ever since from the effects. The lamplighter in the same street also suffered from the same calm. ; and very many persons who were walking along the streets at the time, tint with whose names we are unacquainted, were also struck to the ground vast eleven a terrible flash of At about 20 minutes forked lightning was visible, an most imme after electric fluid struck a chimney in the centre of Mr. Pemberton's, the upholsterer's house, at the corner of Colquitt street and Duke. street. After striking part of PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT. On Friday evening about ninety of the members of the Covenant Minerva and Strangers Refuge lodges of the In dependant Order of Odd Fellows, sat down to a good and substantial dinner, provided on the occasion, by Host Leedham, New York Hotel, Crown street. The brothers of the above lodges met at half-past seven in the morning, and headed by the Beumaris band, walk ed to Williamson square to join the procession.—On their return they mustered in their lodge room for the dinner. P. G. Lloyd, was unanimously called to the chair, and was very ably supported by P. G. Tarrent in the vice chair. After the removal of the cloth, the Chairman in proposing the first toast, adverted to the disappointment occasioned by their misappresc?nsion that their tickets would admit the members of the order within the barriers of the plat form of the Sailors' Home ; notwithstanding the disap- fitment h ing the procession, and their respect for the anthorties in not making any procession whatever untill called for by the Town Council. But leavin , vall this, we would proceed to propose that the health of her Gracious Majesty the QUEEN. The next toast was Prince Albert and the success to the Sailors' Home. The worthc , vice after a short but very appropriate speech, gave the town and trade of Liverpool. At Eight o'clock, the room was thrown open the mem bers wives and friends, and the chairman in giving the last toast that he would give from that chair, thanked the brothers for their quiet and very respeztful behaviour that evening, and proposed sweet hearts and wives. The dsncini then commenced and was kept up until twelve o'clock, when the parties retired home well satisfied with their entertainment. PRINCE ALBERT.—Our contemporary, the Journal, in his account of the recent festivities, introduces the follow ing remarks on the consort of our gracious Queen, in which we heartily concur, as will be found by a paragraph em bodied in cur account, and written before we perused what we now quote:—" And now a word about the Prince. Having seen him, it is impossible not to like him. Nature had her sleeves up when she made him, for she has been lavish of personal adornments. He is indeed the mirror THE PRINCE ALBERT FESTIVAL (Continued from Page 3.) It is highly gratifying to us to remark that, notwith standing the great hurry of the preparations, in platforms, seats at windows, &c., many of them scarcely thought of until the day before the Prince's arrival, no accident of any moment occurred during the festivities, not even, so far as we have heard, affecting even the limbs of her Ma jesty's lieges to any serious extent. 'the p' , r ms were well and raithfully Constructed throughout, a circumstance highly creditable to the artisans employed. Several of the town magistrates visited them, as also their surveyor, and they were, with scarcely an exception, pronounced to be perfectly secure, as they afterwards proved to be, though generally loaded with spectators to the utmost. On Friday night the streets were as much thronged as on the previous - night, and the illuminations nearly as general, though the Prince had then departed. Several additions, indeed, were made in v ious p. es, showin an almost increasing enthusiasm. Our theatres an places of amusements were well attended. The Royal was crowded to excess.

Leigh and Eaton, solicitors, Leigh-street, on suspicion of having murdered, or been accessary to the murder of, a female named Eliza Bateson, alias Perkins, aged 40, on the concluding night (Friday, the 17th of last month,) of the recent Aintree races. The case had been previously heard to some extent and was adjourned. The deceased was, it appears, a singer, dancer, and seamstress, (of ►hea trical dresses.) belonging to a sort of travelling race show, ; anu Luc prism g" establishment called " Powell's Both were at'the races on the day stated, and in the even ing, between eight and nine o'clock, were drinking together in a tent. The woman, it is said, was then much intox icated, and the prison-r quite sober. She was heard to say something about going home for the night, and he to make some indelicate proposition to go with her. They left the place together, and she was not afterwards seen by any of the witnesses alive. After her being missed, the pri soner was apprehended, and, in his defence, said that the woman had been taken up by the police and brought before the county magistrates, and committed to Kirkdale gaol for three months. In the course of the same day, the body of deceased was found in a pool, or pit, about 30 yards wide, and only some few yards from a tent on the race ground. The only important evidence given yesterday was that of Mr. Wm. Christie, surgeon, of Knotty Ash, who made a post mortem examination of the body. Frcrn this it appeared that the body had been exhumed from Sefton Church-yard; that the head, fate, and shoulders were swollen and livid ; that on one side of the neck there were several marks, as if of the imprint of a thumb and fi- — ^o ral•u- ' ,ngers. The cuticle wa. _ ,ded off one of the marks. The lower parts of the body were less dis coloured and less decomposed, and ed slighter marks - opinion that a struggle had taken place on the part of de- le marks on pressure oefore death. The prisoner w manded until Monday next, so that further if possible, be acduced, and when, in all probability 6c; were proc farther re- ce may, THE MAYOR OF MANCHESTER AND THE AUTHORITIES OF LIVERPOOL.—We observe, from the Manchester Guar dian, that the Mayor of that town is indignant at some slight alleged to have been shown him by the authorities here, in not forwarding him, at a sufficiently early pet iod to enable him to be present, tickets for the festivities on the occasion of the royal visit. The following is the Guar dian's statement of the facts :—" On Wednesday after noon, the Mayor of Manchester received from the Mayor of Liverpool an invitation to the grand banquet the next evening, accompanied by a verbal message, that on his arrival in Liverpool the Mayor of that town would explain to him why the invitation had not been sent previously. The Mayor of Manchester wrote in reply, that in conse quence of the late period at which he had received the invitation he must decline it. Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Wednesday night, the Mayor was called out of bed by the arrival of a porter, with a parcel from Liver pool. On opening it, his worship found it contained a card of invitation to the dpjeuner, to be given the next day, by the Liverpool Dock Committee, on occasion of Aug. 4, IR4C. NORTH WALES CIRCUIT. CHESTER, MONDAr The business of the assizes for this county commenced at Chester to-day, before the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench and Mr. Baron Rolfe . ; the latter presiding in the Crown Court, and the former in the Nisi Prius side. The calendar contains thirty-one prisoners, of whom, two are charged with arson ; one burglary ; four cutting and maiming ; one forgery ; five rape ; two horse stealing ; two with murder, and the rest with various minor offences. The most important cases in the Crown Court are a 'ather and mot .re charged with the murder of wo of their owl 'dren, and attemptin g to murder a iird by the adm enic, at Runcorn.

In the first plale they found that the splendid service of plate, and especially the or namental pieces, holding the wax candles, would require ver, ha - ve been cornpelted to rPlinq veral very a considerable tic D clean up, so as to be fit for inspec- tion, as the opening windows during evening had caused the candles to run and completely coated the branche,s in which they were held with wax. This process of cleaning and their subsequent exhibition would also have involved considerable expense, every day of the plate being absent from London being charged for. Be sides it would have been morally and physically impossible for a tithe of the public of Liverpool to go through the rooms within any reasonable time ; and the Committee having already experienced the odium involved in making a selection, or in giving precedence to parties requesting tickets, very wisely, we think, declined the risk of further offending. The plate, therefo-e, as soon as cleaned will he returned to London. The sine has been their resolu tion with respect to keeping open the Judges%Lodgings, the State Bed having to he taken down to-day and the valuable paintings to be returned to their owners. the who THE COBDEN NATIONAL FUND.—The amount of sub scriptions to this fund, sent to the secretary in Manchester now considerably exceeds 40,0001.

An excellent entertainment, consisting of roast and boiled, with the etceteras, was provided for 700 of the police force at the police station, near the Custom-house, on Thursday and Friday, and to those who are acquainted with Mr. Latham's liberality on such occasions, and his excellent cuisine, we need not say that it gave the utmost satisfac tion to the guests.

INQUESTS. — Yesterday, four inquests were held before the Borough Coroner. The first was on Johanna Daly. The dead, who was two years and three months old, and who was left alone by her parents in Peter-street, was discovered on fire near the door of the cellar on Saturday night. She was so severely burned over differant parts of the body that she died the following day. The second was on Thomas Price, a lad nine years of age. It appeared that, on Wednesday afternoon last, he went to the steps of the Prince's pierhead to fish for crabs. The line slipped out of his hand and floated a little on the top of the water, while he was twitching to get it clear of a weir he overbalanced himself and was drowned. The third was one Margaret Freeman, a child 2 years and eight months old, who resided with her pa rents in Lace's-street. Whilst she was in the act of taking some fish of the fire she upset a tea pot containing some hot tea, which went over her chest and scalded her so dreadfully that she died soon after. The fourth was on Elizabeth Cenny, a child eleven weeks old, who died after having partaken of some narcotic. The inquest in the last case was adjourned until Thursday, to afford time for Dr. Brett to examine the contents of the stomach. In the three other cases verdicts in accordance with the evi &nee were return,-d. promo POCKET PICKING.—On Saturday the following persons were committed for trial :—Sarah Connoley and Mary Grady, for having robbed a man of the name of Single ton, a labourer from Cheshire, whilst he was going down Chapel-street, on Friday night. Thomas Thorpe and William Smith for having picked the pocket of William It appeared that he was standing at the orner of South John-street and Lord-street, when the Irisoners, who were standing close by, picked his pocket and two London officers, Messrs. Vickers and Whieler; took them at once into custody. DINNER AT THE BRUNSWICK HOTEL.--A. very splen did dinner was given is honour of the visit of the Prince, at Mr. Whiteman's, the Brunswick Hotel, Hanover-street, on Thursday evening. It was served up with the host's usual ability, and displayed not only the choicest delica cies of England's produce, but rich dainties of other climes. It was laid out on a horse-shoe table.' Mr. Walker, of H. M. Customs, occupied the chair—the vice-chair was filled by W. L. Green, Esq., solicitor. After the cloth was removed, the Chairman gave " Her 1 Majesty, Queen Victoria, God bless her,"—briefly stet ; ing he need not preface his toast with any lengthened ad last -. for be bel' ' • _ dress, oelieved it to be the custom in every coun try to give as the first toast, the monarch that reigns over us ; and he was sure that he was not advancing more than the sentiments of all present when he said, whether we regard our Queen as a wife, a mother, or a monarch, she was universally adored, beloved, and respected. The company then sang " God save the Queen." The next toast the Chairman proposed was Prince Albert, not as the guest of the evening, but the guest of the people of Liverpool. He felt satisfied that the reception that the Prince had that day received would illustrate to him the kind feeling and cordiality with which his name was asso ciated. Short as had been his career in England, he seemed to have entwined himself into the hearts of the peo ple, and he did not know one act that did not tend to ad.. vance t' - ' 4nct was unsullied, he was _.._ir respect—his cow never identified by pat ty, and he was the patron of the arts and sciences. More especially as the husband of our Queen be felt satisfied that in drinking the toast they would make the House of Brunswick echo with their enthu siastic cheers. The " Queen Dowager, and the rest of the royal family " followed. The Vice-chairman then gave "The Sailor's Home," introducing the toast in a beauti ful and affecting speech.—Mr. R. Walker replied. The Chairman next gave " The town and trade of Liverpool." He described the delight he felt in viewing the comparative state of onr town now and a few years ago. We then saw it a few straggled houses and a black tower ; but now the shores of the Mersey were becoming crowded with residences, and public buildings, ix agnificent in de signs, are springing up in every direction. Liverpool was, in fine, becoming a second Venice. This toast was drank with much enthusias,n, and several others were after wards proposed, which were equally well received. They included the worthy host; the press, in connexion with Mr. Walker, &c., &c. At about eleven o'clock the party broke up, all highly delighted. The band of tue 36th regiment was in attendance. Dinner on fl to Ot 3e of the guests over whom he r :ed with manly court On ti 11S OCC ion, however, he could afford, like a h aded man, to spurn the ,ss of part: We shall, —todo justice where justice wa .er,not awake matters which trust will as they ought be obliterated from memor Aikin will understand us, without teridg further int We cannot conclude this hasty review of the events of the week without paying our humble tri bute of praise to the humbler classes of our fellow- townsmen—to all ranks , we are sure, could have contributel more to the extreme grati fication of Prince Albert with the entire proceed ings during the period of his visit, than the orderly, the respectful conduct of t' assembled to do him honou of military were nec protect our Royal guest at once from ou obtrusion.

It was THE PRESTON AND WYRE EXTENSION AND DARWEN JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.—A meeting of the share holders in this undertaking, was held at the Star Hotel, Deans-gate, Manchester,.op Monday, (yesterday) at one cr'CliCkincompliance with the provisions ort the h e Act for the dissolution of Railwa y Companies, for pur pose of determining whether the Company should be dissolved. The meeting was convened by Mr. Joseph St. John Yates, a mzinbcr of the committee of man agement, and was attended by Edward Tootal, Esq., chairman, the Rev. Mr. Birley, Captain James Fenton, J. B. Vickers, Esq., and others. It w a s determined to dissolve the company, the chairman stating that the whole of the deposit would be returned to the shareholders; but RS there was not a sufficient amount of scrip represented to con fi rm this proceeding, the meeting was adjourned until Saturday next. in him, however, serves only to it mental feature it exhibits. Kiodne s, benevolence, ten- humanity breatt.e from his face. There are about it evidence of fine taste, of delicate appreciation, but an utter absence of hauteur, pride, almost of dignity, for the fine gentleness in his eye bespeaks a disposition to enjoy the good and the beautiful, rather than an ambition which dare do evil. Fine feeling constitutes the gentleman, derness and Prince Albert is a perfect gentleman—almost too timid for public occasions, and deficient in those showy graces with which bad men delight the thoughtless multitude. He bows easily, not ostentatiously, and never seemed to think it necessary to plr.y the Prince. There was about him a winning grace, a perfect ease, a quiet bearing; and these are the qualities which Englishmen delight to find in the members of their royal family. Prince Albert will live for ever in the remembrance of the people of Liverpool. They have made him especially their own. RETIREMENTS FROM THE Turt.F.—Lord George . Ben tinck announced at the recent meeting at Goodwood his purpose to retire altogether from the turf, we trust to devote himself to those nobler pursuits to shine in, which he has recently shown himself so eminently qualified. We understand that the noble lord disposed of his entire stud, viz., Bay Middleton, about 70 brood mares, nearly 80 foals and yearlings, and 30 or 40 horses in training, stallions, &c., in one lot, to Mr. Payne, for £lO,OOO, allowing him the option of being oft' the bargain on Mon day, on payment of £3OO. The annual expense of this monster stud, in which we include training, van-ing, jockies, &c., but irrespective of stakes and forfeits, which were enormous, amounted to about £II,OOOI (Rather an expensive hobby, as the noble lord observed to a gen tleman, in answer to a question as to the truth of the re ported sale.) It is also reported that Mr. Gully retires from the turf after the St. Leger. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—DFATIT RESULTING FROM SWALLOWING A SIXPENCE, AFTER AN INTERVAL OF EIGHT YEARS.- that city of a Mr. C. H. Cole, and accompanies the no tice with the following narrative of the painful circum stances which led to that event :—About eight years since, being on a journey, with a friend sitting by his side in the vehicle, in the county of Dorset, he arrived at a turnpike gate, and took a sixpence from his pocket in order to pay the toll. While drawing his outer coat close, which had been thi own open to get at the coin, he placed the six pence between his lips; at this instant his friend said something irresistibly laughable, and giving wary to it, without thought as to his situation, the coin slipped into the orifice of the throat. After the first alarm, however, feeling apparently but little inconvenience from what had occurred, bethought but little of it, and in talking of it. being a man of extremely firm mind, he made light of the At length, however, there were produced effects matter Mr. Cole had not only the advantage of the first surgicaladvice in Exeter, but these gentlemen declining to perform an operation Nada a view to the extraction of the coin, he repaired to London, and became a patient in Guy's Hospital. His sufferings were now become at times most acute, and it was evident that a serious inroad was making on an other wise strong frame and firm constitution. His fortitude, however, was unsubdued, and, after several consultations of the medical gentlemen connected with the institution be was in, finding they declined the performance of an operation with a view to his relief, and that this arose from an apprehension of the consequences, he offered to give them a document which should be legally drawn up, absolving them from all consequences. Still, however, they declined, and he returned to Exeter. Here he again referred to the faculty, by whom he was directed to be careful, to abstain from all circumstances of excitement ; to be cautious as to his dress, never omitting flannel next his skin, and most especially to avoid exposing himself to damp. There was, however, frequent cough, and symp- toms that two surely showed the ravages disease was mak ing within. Still, being naturally cheerful, with intervala of ease, passed quietly along. A few weeks since, how ever, during a very high state of the temperature, he neglected the flannel part of his drass, and a circumstance of a popular and exciting nature occurring, in which he had taken considerable interest, he was led to expose him self on a most unfavourrble evening, and got wet. Even this, however, was not at first heeded, and it is feared be again exposed himself to damp. The consequences were fatal. He became seriously ill, and his sufferings were most excruciating, without the highest art in the pro fession being enabled to afford him the slightest aid, and at ten minutes past twelve on the morning of the lith, death released him from his . sufferings. After death a post mortem examination of the body took place, when the coin was found lodged in the right bronchia, the lung being in a state of complete gangrene. The coin was much BMO3 a u, the projecting parts of the figures and letters git at y obliterated, and the piece bore the !mina •acce of a t. r king which had long lain in some dirty place. it is underttood that after being pre pared for this Purpo .e, the rem; it s of the lung and coin will be lodged in the medical MUS. um. The other parts of the body were he ilthr, n" there were all the characteristics of a strong man.—[lt will be remembered that some years ago, Mr. Brunel, jun., the well-known engineer, nearly lost his life by a similar accident, he having, while amusing himself with some children, swallowed a half-sovereign, which, after be had endured much, was with difficulty, and by great exertion of surgical skill, extracted from his throat.—Ed. L. S.] not bear the name of any gentleman as deputed to give th, invitation, and the only explanation as to whence it came was afforded by a notification outside, that the Chairman of the Liverpool Dock Committee would give ss. for the delivery of the parcel b." o'clock on Wednesday night. This second proffer o, Liverpool hospitality was, of course, also declined." Had his worship of Manchester exercised a little more consideration and coolness he need scarcely have taken t- °Teat umbrage. We believe the explanation pro- efore eleven mised — him would have been quite satisfa r etory. It 'was originally intended to invite the Mayor of Manchester, and his name stood early on the list placed before the Committee. It was found, however, that he could not consistently be invited without the same courtesy being extended to other mayors throughout the county, which, as there was barely space for the guests from Liverpool and the immediate neighbourhood, or connected with the town, and for the members of the Royal suite and the noblemen and others expected, was quite impossible. The invitation originally intended for the Mayor of Manches ter was therefore not sent. Ultimately, the Mayor of Liverpool having to apply to the Mayor of Manchester for the services of a party of police, considerately aveiled himself of the opportunity to forward tha invitation, Wha was declined. No slight was intended towards that func tionary, or the town over which he exercises sway. With respect to the invitation to the dejeuner, it will, we think, be found to be dated " Dock office, Liverpool," and stamped with the seal of the Dock Chairman. Consider ing the immense labour of the arrangements which the Committee had to make, the absence of a further written invit ition might have been excused.

After a few remarks from the chairman, the resolution was adopted. Three cheers were gicen for Lord Stanley, Lord Brougham, Lord Beaumont, and the Earl of Clarendon, and a vote of thanks to the chairman. The petition was signed by upwards of 1350 persons. There was a memorial to the Board of Trade, which had the same number of signatures attached to it Tnt NEW PACKET-SHIPS.—The Boston Post says, , Wye to the new liner now being built in East Boston, nd, from the beauty of her model, the kind and sub stance of the materials of which she is constructed so far, will be the finest merchant-ship in the world. Captain Skiddy is superintending her construction himself. Pre vious to laying her down, he examined all the principal shipyards in England, including the government dock-__ yards, and being intimately acquainted with the style of American shipbuilding, has brought all his experience and information to bear in the production of this ship. She has very sharp ends, great breadth of beam, and cannot fail to sail very swiftly. We understand that he intends to name her the Sir Robert Peel." She will be 1,400 tons burthen. Of the second ship the Post writes, " The packet-ship Anglo-Saxon, of 900 tons, now on the stocks „.. at East Boston, is planked up, ceiled, and has her decks shore.

CRIME IN MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL.—The police returns of Manchester and Liverpool for the last year have recently been printed. A comparison suggests itself. The amount of property stolen in twelve months in Manchester was £13,213 ; in Liverpool, £7852. Re covered in Manchester, £9532; in Liverpool, £2860. The Manchester amount is swelled by a single item, £4BBB.—The number of persons in custody in Manchester was 9770; in Liverpool, 16,588. In Manchester the summary convictions were 5117; in Liverpool, 11,993; while the number sent to trial was pretty much the same in both places; 643 here, 667 there.—ln drunkenness Liverpool excels. The number was 9791 ; in Manchester 4188. The number of public-houses fined in Manchester was 227, and the fines £174 ; while the number of beer houses fined was 483, and the penalties £319. In Liver pool the offending publicans were 176, find the penalties £297. The beerhouses convicted were 250, and the fines £409.--In fines for offences against local acts, the prac tice differs. The number of summonses in Manchester was 6015, and the fines £541 ; in Liverpool the sum. mouses constitute wer 4l the7B, and ffn di thee difference.—Manchester penalties 11b 10 c ,s e s s l t e . r has The dock fines 300 brothels, 194 habitual thieves, and 82 occasional ones. Liverpool exceeds in these particulars, there being 538 houses of ill repute, 197 confirmed thieves, and 371 who are only sometimes honest.
