It appeared that the prisoner married his wife with the exoectatton of getting £2OO, but he was disappointed, and then he deserted his partner and left her chargeable on the garish, far -which he got a months' imprisonment. Again he deserted her, and was arrested on board a ship on Sunday night, on his way to America, but in this he was also disappointed, for his Worship sent him to . gaol for three months. A Ms:alit Somgwriattx.—A tall young man, named James Anderson, a plasterer, was charged by Anne Bar ton, a person who resides in Mary Anne-street, vith annoy ing her and breaking her door. Ths complainant said at half-past ten o'clock on Saturday night, the prisoner called at her house and wanted to go in, but she - would not allow him, and he then ±irked in the door.

The prisoner persisted that he had slept three nights in the house ; that he paid 103 for the first, 76 for the second, and 4s for the third.

He was put away, and then proceeded to Mark's Church, where he ac'el in the same manner, and then he was arrested. The prisoner, in a very serious tone, said there was a difference of opinion belween him and the policeman on the point of his being drunk. He did not do anything wrong, say anything wrong, nor was he drunk. The br idewellkeep-r who took the charge, said the prisoner was very drunk. The prisoner was fined ss. VERY UNGRATEFUL"' —A. tall aristocratic looking young man, dressed in the first style of elegance, was put to the bar, charged with being d urk and incapable of taking care of himself. in Prescott street, and he was " booked for safety."

Smith said when he arrested the prisoner, he told him of the charge, when he said he had drawn the money.and spent it jaunting about on cars-and going about the town. Mr Atkin—D d you csotion him before that ? I did not sir. lir. Lambert stated that on the 3rd June, the prisoner received £lB odd from Messrs. Jackson & Co , and did __not return it. Mr- Aikin—Was it his duty to return it to the cashkeeper ? Mr. Lambert—l keep my own easb, and he should have returned it to me. On the 22nd June, he got £25 4s. from Mr. Wrigley, and did not return it ; on the oth of August, he received £6 6s. from Messrs - Duckworth & Rathbone, and did not return it. The persons who paid the prisoner the money proved that fact, and the prisoner was sent for trial. (It was stated that the youth's father had died in :ndia, and that his mother .resides in Glasg)w.

He appeared to get worse, and the stomach pumo was used, and a quantity of Alcoholic liquid extracted. He was removed to the Royal Infirmary, where be died. On a post mortem examination, it was found that his tkull was fractured, supposed by a It'll, and this was the cause of death. • The jury found a verdict that death was caused by the fracture of the skull, but how that happened there was no evidence to show. Tin BOARD OF CONTROL—D.I C Sunday Times says there is not the Fliubtest foundation for the report dig the Bizlit Ron. Robert Vernon Smith was about to vaclte the office of President of the Board of Control. WOOLWICH, Sept. 6.—A. regimental order was received here yesterday, front the Adjutant-General's office, direct ing an additional artillery force to be prepared for instant embarkation, under command of three field officers. 650 officers and gunners of the previously ordered force are now at Woolwich, ready for embarkation. The force under orders yesterday was 1,350 gunners, driver', and artificers, exclusive of officers and non-commissioned officers. A IltisEA ADVERTBED. B low we copy an advertise ment from the Cleveland Plaiadealer :—" My 1 A to husband, Isaiah Faulkner, has lately advertised to the pubbe that I have lett his bed and board without aoy provocation, and that ha will pay no debts of my contracting. Now, it is true that I have left him, but not his bed or board, II Inver had a bed that was not borrowed, nor any board" worth hawing, except the last spring freshet. Al tor pay ing debts, nobody will be wiser fur his advertisement ; he bas hard work to get to owe any, and don't pay on principle when he does. His promisee are poor moonshine, and his credq a "dried up" balloon. I hereby give notice to all married and unmarried women to be on their guard against his coaling round—he is rcd heeded and 'angerous. Put him out; don't trust, hi:n on my account—Jane Faulkner." CHARLSTON Swag.—The oorstant sea b-rez t and the skilful arrangements for ventilation make even the . simmer 'heats end ure bl e w i thia the city; but beyond it, on the marshes, the season as its perils. The Swamps, always unhealthy, are especially danger.ui by night. To sleep on a rice plan!atiou is a risk the nativea have been taught by long experience to avoid. By day the grounds may he traversed with impunity, but the night air, "sleepinz got," is fatal. Rail% ays have superseded the river steamers as the mode of conveyance to the nuntry districts • to rains the last trair, the re f ore , a t the close cf day's excu ' sin", is a more serious dilemma than being similarly stranded at Ge - enwich or Richmond. The course in such a case is to hunt up some friendly home in a " pine barren," these tracts being less liable to the sickly icflience of the marshes pr. , -per • or, if that is impracticable. to return to the man e on you have left and literelly- make a night of it, kindling a large wood B , e, as one means of defying the foul fiend malaria, and assisting the defence with cigars and brandy and water. Sleep must be kept cif by every expedient ; nor must you v e n tu r e out till the sun is well above the boil sou. One might be tempted to risk the danger once for the variety of t h e bi vouac; but the senio rs shake their Leads, Ind would rather not.—Lettv in the Times. THE NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1857. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. The monthly meoting of the Council was held yesterday, S. Torr, Esq., President, in the chair. After the usual routine business had been disposed of, Mr. Bernard Hall and Mr. C. E. Bawling, jun., were unanimously elected directors to fill the vacancies caused by the retirement of Me. Heap and Mr. &liar. Among the communications were the following letters from the Board of Trade, relative to the Greenland fifriteries and the shipping trade at Bahia : Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Whitehall, August 10, 1857. Si -, ,—The Danish Minister at this Court having brought to the notice of her Majesty's Government, that British trading vessels occasionally resort to the ports of Greenland to fish, I sin directed by the Lords of the Committee of 'livy Council for Trade, to call to the attention of the Chamb it. of Com merce of Liv, rpool, that, in 1546, it was officially conarnuni catrd, and afterwards made public through this department, that by the laws of Denmark, foreign ships are, from local and speci 1 considerations, exc'uded from the ceminerci3l fisheries of Greenland. I am further directed to request that the Chamber of Commerce will take such steps as they may find most effectual for making generally known to owners and masters of shipping, the continued existence of this prohibition, which applies equally to all Danish vessels excepting those specially commissioned by the government.—l am, sir, your obedient fervent, i,(Signed), J. E. TZNNENT.

TPHNENT. To the Secretary, Chamber Gf Commerce, Liverpool. RE PC RT by Mr. Morgan, H.M. Consul at 13,11 a, on tho -trade of tba port for the year, 1856. Table No. 2 gives an accurate detail of the foreign and national navigation of this port. British Shipping is, and has been some time, at a d , st-onnt both here and at Rio de. Janeiro. No merchant will charter a British vessel it they can find a foreign one to load, and to the latter 2s to 5s is snore freely offered to secure them. This arises from the little attention bestowed by British shipmasters to the cargoes of produce entrusted to them. Hence, therefore, the Swedes, _Norwegians, Danes, and Get man flags always command a prtfirenc3—even a Portuguese will be chartered in prefetence to a British vessel. This state of affairs is, unfortunately, only one side of the qut3stion. In England Ihe same preference ob During the last year no less than twenty-four foreign vessels arrived at this port with cargoes taken in at home. At present one British firm established here has six foreign vessels chartered in England, conning out 19aded with cards to his consignrnr nt, and the reason adduced for such a preference is, that foreign vessels, being sure of commanding a freight homeward, or to the continent, are willing to accept lower freights outwards to the Braz . l , t, been's° they obtain higher frioghts when they come into competition with British shipping. Another cause, which perhaps is unknown to British owners at home, militates strongly against the employment of British ships, anl that is, some agents or shiphrokers generally charter vessels on their own account, which having only a limited time to load, are filled up to the main hatch to make it appear that they are nearly loaded and ready for sea, When the lay days expire, those sh;pbrolters, in order not to pay demurrage, fill up the sides of the vessel, and cover valuable property with coals ! What is the consequence? Manufactured Fools shipped at Liverpool, such as cambrics, musli,ss, &c., or fine articles are all spoiled, a—el the consignees out here very naturally object to their property being endangered either by the speculations of a shipbroker, or by the carelessness of a firiti , h shipmaster. These facts are notorious, and I regret my duty obliges me to make mention of them, but if British shipowners at home do not wish to see the important carrying trade with Brezil growing every day more important, fall into the hands of our rivals, they must bo more exacting with their brokers, and more particular as to the manner in whirls the masters of their ships load and discharge the property entrusted to their care. There were letters also from the Law Amendment Society, as to the approaching meeting at Birmingham, of the National Association fir the Promotion of Social Science ; referred to the Committee on Commercial Law ; and from Messrs. Bonit and Co., on the Merchant Shipping Act, referred to the Shipowners' Association for their opinion. It was ordered that an adjourned meeting of the Council be held on Wednesday, at one o'clock, to receive a statement from Mr. J. Freeman, relative to the present state of affairs in India. WATERLOO AND SEAFORTH LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH. Th 9 usual monthly meeting of th 3 Board was held last night at Waterloo, Mr. Ridley in the chair. The following members of the Bard were present: Messrs. Thakston, Kilshaw, H. Jones, Schofield. Ma. INIAsox. the clerk read the circular, calling the meeting, and then the minutes of the last monthly meeting, and the proceedings of the fin Ince committee, which were confirmed. The CLERK read a letter from the general Board of Health, in reply to a copy of a letter sent from the board, with a plan of the township. by Mr. Richardson, the surveyor, in which the general Board of Health expressed the utmost satisfaction at the plans, &c.. and stated that a firs..-class certificate should be awarded to t',e plans. The Board considered this most satisfactory, and compli mented the surveyor ou his success. A letter was read from Sir George Grey, approv ng of 'he bye-laws, and the cl4use in reference to the common lodgirg house keepers. Mr. JOHN SCUOLIELD then mo'ed the following reso lution, which was seconded by Mr. Nixon, and passel : That the trusters of the new Wesleyan Chapel of Water loo he furnished by the Board with a memorandum in writing, expressive of the terms upon which it was agreed that part of an adj , icing cr.-et should be Lit m into the Chapel yard, and of the land stipulated to be given and taken." The text business was : `• That att ps b 3 immediate!) , taken by the Board for hiving the plan of the district, prepared by the survey-3r, lithovsaphed." The motion W 39 se3or:del by Mr. JONES and passed. Cheques were then drawn for the disbursements required, and the routine business being transacted, the Board adjourned. OVERLIND ROUTE TO INDIA.—A. proposal has been made to the Indian House by the European and Ametican Steam Company, calculated to facilitate the transport by the Overland route of such reinforcements to India as will be necessary throughout the nest six or nine months. The company possess eight powerful screw steamers ; fonr of thew could .establish a fortnightly communication from Southampton to Alexandria, and the remaining four between Suez and Bombay. Each vessel taking about 1,100 men a supply of 2,200 per month could thus be con tinued. SHOCKING DE till BY MaLCIIINF ItY.-0.19 of h 9 moat aliecking deaths by machinery on rec - ird took place a few days ar, at the village of Raikelr, a few raga from York. A young married wivaan, !lamed Newto , -, was engaged in preparing sheave 3 for a thrashing machine, when, owing io her foot having slipped, she was drawn into the machine, an 1 her left leg put a s'o7 to is working. When taken out, it wai discovered that her fiot had been torn off, that her thigh was broken, and that her leg and other pants of her person had been m itilited in a frightful manner. Two sat-geons from Yurk, and another from Essingwold, attended the unfortunate wo,r,an, and amputatim of the orn and lacerated limb was performed, but the sufferer did not survive many hours. It was proved at the inquest held on the that the irjaries inflicted were en tirely the result of accileot, and a verdict to that effect was returned. TII2 WAR TN CUINA.—POSITION OP FRANC;.; —The Debate depicts t:te situation of the Eag!ish at Hong Kong, aad, after dwelling on tha treacherous character of the Chinese in geu , r tl, prceseds to consider what effect the present state of hostilities ought to have eventually on the relations of France with the Chinese empire. It says-- "The present rel,x Alen in the English operations in China must necessarily have some influence on those which France appeared to have proposed to herself to carry on in those parts. the inconsiderable forces which we have sent there, and which were intended to support our jest demand, wait fer the termination of this fores.d inac tion on the part of the Easlish ; or, if they act alone, are they strong enough to dispense with a co-operation which appeared to be secu ed to them? Since we have done so much es to go to China, it would be perhaps desirable that we ghoul.' by ourselves, and independently of any foreign there acgo;re influeree advantageous t o our commerce,, erce, and to the ulterior views which we might enter tain with respect to that part of the Etste - n world. It is the only one which the F.urorans have not yet seriously entered into, and which in its present state of internal dis organisation is open to the ae:i )n of a great maritime power. The English, who had perceived that such was the case, and had hastened to profit by it, have for some time past been turned away from their p:ojects by the events in India. Bat this is not a reason why we should slacken our particular action, and is porhaps a .Tessoap ler hastening it. THE SPY SYSTEM OP THE POLICE. PUBLICANS TO THE EDITOT, OP TILE NORTIEFOIN THOU. Sir,--I think the licensed victuallers of Liver pool have good reason to thank you for your exertions, which, after a long time, have proved successful in breaking up the abominable, uncon stitutional, and illegal spy system that has prevailed in the police force sinee " Make' Greig became the head of that body. I allude to the " orders" given by him to the officers, to go out on Sunday mornings, dressed as navvies, in order to create crime, not to prevent it. You have combatted that illegal systerff long—you have denounced it, and at last a magistrate (Ir. Jeffery) is found with sufficient moral courage to grapple with the mon ster and slay it. Your correct report of Mr. Jeffery's observations, cannot fail to have due weight, and the " Major" has now found that he must resort to some other mode of employing the police on Sabbath mornings, than by that of sending them out as " decoy duck" to persecute at any saorafice, an important and respectable class of traders, who contribute very largely to the salary of the " Major." The " Major•" is a pious man, —for I have seen him at missionary meetings for the conversion of the Jews and the " benighted Irish ;"—may I ask would it not be a christian like act to send his " navvies" to church on Sundry mornings rather than to "make up a case" against a publican by " hard swearing?" The answers of the policeman to Mr. Bluck and Mr. Jeffery, shows au amount of moral degradation in the police force truly frightful. Who is to blame for . this ? What say the Watch Committee, or are they aware of it? Again, I say your exertions have exposed this system; and may I humbly suggest that stop not, even here, until you have purified as well as exposed it.—l am, Sir, yours, &e., sth Sept., 1857. TRUTH. MAJOR GREIG'S " TWITCHER." TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—ln your paper a day or two since, I read a report of a case in which a policeman stated that the " force" had got twitchers in place of handcuffs. Mr. Mansfield said he had heard of twitchers for horses noses, but never before of such things being used to fasten human beings. The policeman, with great sang froid, said the ‘• force" found them more convenient. No doubt for a man with a leather thong round his nose and lip, and that screwed up by a stick, will be very much quieter, than a fellow with his two wrists embraced iu iron. One of the charges against these men who are at present under sentence of death (in Kirkdale jail) was for gagging a man with an iron pin . What is or ought to be the punishment for twitching a man'snose aDd lip with the patent squeezer invented by Major Greig, for the especial benefit of the disorderlies of Liverpool? Your report of the case referred to, does not state that the twitcher was put on the man's nose, hut from the observation of Mr. Mansfield regarding the nose of a horse, the inference is that way—perhaps some one would enlighten the public on this point —but the public must look out lest the " twitcher" be applied.—l am, yours, AN OLD HANDCUFF. TESTIMONIAL. Ship Agamemnon, River St. Lawrence, 9th Augntt, 1857. TO CAPTAIN ROBERT BARLEY. Dear Sir,—We, the undersigned, a committee appointed by the whole of your passengers, feel it our duty, as it is our most earnest desire, to return you our sincere and heartfelt thanks far y our unvarying kindness to us all, and more especially for the anxious sympathy you have con tinually shown for the helpless women and children. We are satisfied that the feet of having no surgeon on board has greatly increased the responsibility of your position; and although your kind attention has ever been given to all with the greatest promttitude, benevolence, and im partiality, we cannot but feel that it mast have consider ably interfered with your own private leisure. We think it quite unnecessary to offer our poor testimony to your abilities as a commander, but we must say, that the cool, gentlemanly manner in whirth the duties of the ship have been carried on, notwithstanding the very bad weather we have had, has appeared to us much above the standard we had been led to expect. We beg of you to accept our united thanks and best wishes for your continual pros perity ; may you have a profitable and speedy passage home. Be assured that you carry with you the most grateful feelings of every one on b , ard. Will you be kind enough to express to your officers and crew our high appre ciation of their whole conduct, which it appears to us has ever been of the highest order, as might naturally be expected from the good example continually before , hem. —We have the honour to subscribe ourselves, dear sir, your grateful PASSENGERS. Signed by the following (committee) appointed from 200 passengers —Thomas Wright, chairman, Wm. ROSS, Walter Morrison, Edw Co , ,enev, Edward Cross, Miles Martin, Riehd. Jones, Wm. Willbec, Ja. Cochrane, John Jones, Albert Whaby, Danl. Whitmar .11, Wm. Primince. ACCOAIMODITION IN THE SOUTH DOCKS TO THE EDITOR OF THE NoRTIIERN TIMES. Sir,— The imperative necessity and importance of obtaining d,:ck ac3ommodation for vessels arriving with cargo from foreign ports, is so apparent that argument thereon is unnecessary. At the same time perhaps you will permit me to make a few remarks upon the subject indicated in the above heading. Having lately arrived from Quebec, where I bad occasion to charter my ship, the Zaluka, but was unable to do so without stipulating to take the cargo south of the Liverpool Custom-house, find that after passing a large sum for dock dues, besides lying a number of days in the river, that there is no chance of my being able to dock these spring tides; nor can any ono inform me when the ship can be docked. Yet it appears that there is no want of quay room in the doTAis south Of the Custom-house, for I learn that during the last twelve months they have been filled with ships taking cargoes of salt. Surely, docks of less importance than - the Brunswick, might be used for this purpose, and thus give pre ference to ships with timber cargoes. Numbers of ships will otherwise lose their fall voyage. Evi dently, bettei arrangements for the eouvenience of Quebec vessels and their cargoes should be made in the great shipping port of Liverpool.—Yours, &c. JOIIN SIMPSON, Master of the Ship Zaluka. Another correspondent forwards the following— " A ship, the Jane Lowden, though bound to discharge in the Brunswick Dock, has been compelled to go into Huskisson in the meantime, and wait there till room is found in Brunswick— Why not c9mplete the Dock south of Toxteth? If such work is continued, owners will not charter ships for Liverpool. The extra expense caused by dock delays is enormous,• and ships cannot now afford it ; besides it gives the port a bad name and must injure it, and if our Dock Authorities did their duty properly, there is no real cause for all this de'ly and expense; only fancy, ships laying one or two weeks and longer in the river waiting to dock, then keeping their crew all this time, and losing so much valuable time, and likely losing the fall voyage." ALLrGED CHILD MURDFR.—Maria Clarke, a harsh featured. middle-aged woman, an inmate of the Hackney Union Workhouse, was charged at the Worship -street Police Court, Landon, on Saturday, on suspicion of having wilfully caused the death of her illegitimate female child, eight years ol l, by throwing it into the Regent's Canal. It appeared that, early on Fiiday morning, the prisoner went to the men connected with the lock upon the Regent's Canal, in Dalston,,aud asked them to drag the water at a particu lar spot; saying, that she feared her child had fallen into the canal The drags were brought, and the child's body was taken out, when a policeman, who was present, having hie suspicions roused by what he had heard, took the prisoner into custody. Her account of the affair was, that she had obtained leans from the workhouse, at Hack ney, to go out and look for a situation, and her daughter went with her. In passing along the canal she missed the child, aud after searching for her some time, she went on to her sister's house at Cambridge Heath, where she slept. The next morning, f.:eling uneasy about the child, she went down to the coal, and asked the men to drag the water. The prisoner, it appeared, had left the workhouse clandestinely, as she bad done several times before, and taken her child with her. When taken into custody, she amused herself by singing in her cell, and appeared quite. gallour. hhe was remanded for a week. ATROCITIES O BOA'aBD EMIGRANT SHIPS. THE crizy OF MOBILE. The following statement is condensed from the Dublin Freeman's Journal, "There are few to whom the benevolent exertions of Mr. Vere Foster, our countryman, are not known. Some time ago Mr. Foster collected in Louth, Meath. and the neighbouring counties a number of young girls of unspotted reputation, to the number of 120, with the view of pro viding for them in the Western States of America. Having shipped them at Liverpool on board the packet ship City of Mobile, and made all the necessary arrangements for their safe conduct, as he imagined, Mr. Foster preceded them by steam to New York, both to receive them on their arrival •+ and conduct them to their future settlement. The City of Mobile duly arrived, but for some reason or other Mr. Foster found a general reluctance on the part cf his pro togees to go further. Ultimately not more than a dozen out of the hundred and twenty consented to leave New York, with whom he went westward and placed them in good situations. What became of the hundred who left their homes under such promising auspices, and whose characters were so pure before the pollution of the emigrant ship ? Nothing was known of the poor creatures —how !hey lived or died—until some time after, when a kind-hearted gentleman was struck with the appearance of a wretched object in the most fashionable thorough. fare of New York. She was an Irish gitl—one who had suffered and was suffering much in mind and in body. Her face was covered with bruises and her body with rags. She told a wild and pitiful story to the eommissionsrs of emigration—th it she came to New York in the City of Mobile under the ca-e of a gentleman whom she afterwards requited with it gra , itude—that she had since lived a life of crime and suffering, and was now a wanderer in a strange land without a home, friends, or money. Susan Smith, the Broadway outcast, was one of the girls who went out under Mr. Foster's care, and had been seduced from the ship by sailors and others to houses of ill-fame, where their ruin was accomplished. The wretched girl was too weak at the time to make a full statement, but sub sequently she deposed to the following facts, of which there is no doubt, and which unfold another chapter in the diabolical history of Liverpool emigration :—Her affidavit is to the effect that, after the vessel had cast anchor in the port, five of the female passengers were on the same night taken on shore by a boat's craw rf the ship; next morning five others were taken off by the quartermaster;' at noon the same day the deponent and another girl were taken away to a brothel, where they remained for six weeks ; that the other womea were taken to Castle Garden, the regu lar point of disembarkation at New York, and landed. There is little room, however, to doubt that all or the majority were subjected to the same prcfligate influences and conse quences. Here is a whole cargo of virtue—before it was subjected to the contamination of sailors —lost for the want of ordinary care. We Lever heard or read of such a sad story. Out of 120 who left Ireland in safety with their characters vouched by their clergy, only twelve or so were uninfected, the rest having been ruined in the short spare of one month. We presume the friends and relatives of the sad freight per ship Mobile, are already in possession of the facts to which we have adverted ; if not, they may discover in the subjoined deposition of poor Susan Smith food for tears and lamentation. Better let the whole sad history be known. It may produce ultimate good in wholly staying that national ma lness for emigration, of which we have well nigh seen the end:— " 'DEPOSITION OF SUSAN SMITH. " City and County of New York.—Susan Smith, late of County Meath, Ireland, being sworn. deposes and says that she is twenty-one years of age, and came passenger to the port of New York in the ship City of Mobile, Mar. shall, master, from Liverpool, and arrived on the 30. h of J.3ne lest; that after the vessel htd cast anchor off Castle Garden, Margaret Floody ►end four other passengers of the ship were on the same night, at about 11 o'clock, taken off the vessel by two of the sailors belonging to the ship, in one boat, and brought to the city ; that on the next morning, at about 8 o'clock, the ship having meantime been taken round to a pier, five passengers, nam e d M ary Malone, Mary Kally, Ann Donnelly, Jane Crawley, and a girl named Margaret, were taken off by the quartermaster, named Bill Mooney, who was alwalp, so far as deponent knows, at the wheel during the voyage ; that at about 12 o'clock at noon on the same day (Wednesday) deponent and a girl named Ellen Neary, who was a passenger, were taken off the vessel by two sailors, named James and Thomas, and brought to the house of Kit Burns, No. 32, Water-street, where deponent has remained up to the present time ; says that the other passengers were taken off the vessel in a steamboat on the day of arrival, at about 6 o'clock, p.m , and brought to Castle Garden, as deponent believes, and that meantime deponent and the other fema'es, as above stated, were c 'ncealed in the forecastle of the ship by the sailors until brought ashore as above stated. her "SUSAN t SMITH. Metk. "'Swam to before me this 4.h day of August, 1857. " BERNARD CASSERLY, Commissioner of Deeds.' "The Commissioner, by the consent (1 Justice Osborn, sent an officer to No. 32, Water-street, and arrested Ellen Neary, and sent her to Ward's Island." THE CAMBRIA. Mary Jane Brett, a passenger on the ship Cambria, from Liverpool, complained, on landing at Castle Garden on the 18th ult , of ill-usage on the ship during the voyage. Her statement amounted to the charge, that soon after leavirg Liverpool the second mate had seduced her under an alleged promise of marriage, and during the rest of thJ voyage he had repeated illicit connection with her. After landing, finding that he refused to marry her, she applied to the commis sioners, and detailing the above matters, wished to know if he could be compelled to keep his promise. On proper investigation it became aprarent that the only measure to be adopted would be his arrest on a warrant for seduction. This step she was urged by the commissioners to take, but for reasons known to hersclf, she positively refused acquiescence. However, on her examination, the com missioners ascertained that two female passengers, named Jane Larken and Mary , had b.en kept on board the vessel, and were not landed at Castle Garden, as required by law, under the pretence that they were needed to nurse the doctor, who had been unwell, The, commissioners on ascertaining the correctness of that infor mation, took the neceqsary steps to enforce the fine of $5O for each cf these two passengers upon the captain, under the law of the Sta'e passed during the last session. The captain having demurred to the infliction of the penalty, steps were taken for the attachment of the ship. This had the effect of enforcing the prompt payment of the money. As to the women, it is known they did not land at Castle Garden, but what became of them, or whether they are gone, is a matter of uncertainty. The commissioners are determined to act with promptness in all such cases as come to their knowledge, being the only action within their power, and thus to suppress an evil which is become ing obvious and more frequent than formerly.—New York Tribune. A meeting of the Oldham town c3uncil was held on Friday, for the purpose of appointing an alderman for Westwood ward, in the place of the late James Platt, Eq. The voting papers having been handed round, it was found that 13 gentlemen htd voted for Mr. George Barlow, cotton spinner, Greenhill, and two for Mr. John Ri!ey, councillor for Westwood ward. Mr. Barlow was therefore duly elected. LORD Lusortn.—Llrd Li!ford writes to Galignani's Ifessenger to say:—" My attei.tion having been called to a paragraph in your paper, to the eff-.c* that my son, "the HJLI.

A SWINDLER CAUGHT. —On Saturday afternoon, a well kuown member of the swincring gang named Beck, was apprehended at Cheadle, near Manchester. He appears from his correspowienca, to have been "C. P. Russell, Esq.," of Cheadle; and from the Post-office there he has received several packages of books. From the letters found upon him he seems to have carried on an extensive trade. Ho is in the cus•ody of the county constabulary at Stock prrt. He is well known to the Manchester detective officars. THE ItionamNs.—Brigham Young, we are told, meditates resistance to the Federal authorities. B igham is in his way an autocrat on a grand scale; not only are the lives and fortunes of his saljects in his hands, not only does he claim the right to " unseal" their wives and " seal" them to himself (and exercise the right which he claims), but ha also claims and exercises the right of thinking for them on all subj- eta. The constitution of the United States guarantees the Republican form of Government to all the States compsing the Federation. The Dred Scott decision having removed from C mgresa the paver of regulating the domestic concerns of the territories, the right can only be exercised now under this provisio. , ; and, whatever may be thought of Republics in Europe, on this, side of the Atlantic a State with an infallible, irrespansible theocratic head is not a Republic according to the popular notion. Public opinion will therefore support President Buchanan in whatever measures ho determines to adopt. The season is now so far advanced, and has been so cold, with such prospect of early frost and snows, that I doubt whether it will be deemed advisable to press on for Utah before next year.

BEING THE SUBSTANCE OF A SEBIES OF ADDRESSES DELIVERED IA CONNECTION WITS ST. MARY'S TOTAL ABSTINENCE SOCIETY, HIBBDALE.. DEDICATED TO THE REV. MR. TIT I'ERTON, PREEIDENT, LIVERPOOL WORKING MAN. " Woe unto htm that giveth hi 3 nolghtmr drink, that patest thy bottle to him and makest him drunken."—ilabak. ii. 15, [Continued from 7th September.] An ingenious philanthrop'st has frilly considered this humilia ing fact, and he says, putting the annul expenditure at .t'60,000,000 in Great Britain—wherrio, if that philanthrophiz gentleman had con sidered the loss of time and sicimess, misdirected industry in couse• quenca of th .t expenditure, he might, with great propriety, have put the amount at £120,001,001, instead of putting it at .60,000,000—he says if that en rmous amount, which h worse than wasted, was ap plied in purchasing articles of domestic utility, it would procure the undermentioned articles of real domestic comfort annually : Four Millions - of Coats,lat 40s each.. •....

A select committee, appointed by the House of Commons, to inquire into the canoe of crime and drunkenness, reported to that house in 1834, that from 1821 to 1824 there was no annual increase in the con sumption of intoxicating drink, and no increase of crime daring the same period; th it, from 1824 to 1823, there was an annu el Increase of ,3,2a1,695 gallons in the consumption of intoxicating drinks, with an annual increase of 4,271 cases of crime; tha•, from 1828 to 1832' there was a less anneal increase In the consumption of intoxicating drink—viz., 1,748,938 gallons, and a corresponding decrease in crime —viz , 3,255 cases. But further, the Dublin Police Reports for the years 1838 and 1809, show that during the years when distillation from sugar, grain, &c , was prohibited, in consequence of scarcity, arunkeunese and crime decreased in a most extraordinary manner, and in a corresponding ratio; that, in 1810, distillation being again resumed, drunkenness increased to an alarming extent. History records this startling fact. It is roma koble that the citizens of Dublin, in the year 1810, _seem to have abandoned the notion held in the two preceding • years of bacon ng a remarkably sober, and honest people; for drunkenness and crime, which had decreased amazin3ly during the two years distillation was prohibited, suddenly turned round in 1810, distillation being resumed, and drunkenness and crime increased to an ala ng extent. Thus, we End precisely the same results in 1808 and 1819 as followed t .e prohibition unfortu nately repe tied in 1751. Ag .in, during the last nalf year of 18 .2 and the year 1813, distillation was again prohloitod, and with that prohi bition drunkenness decreased in a most eatra•xrdiuery manner, and in a corresponding ratio. As a further illustration of this great fact, there were 2,093 less cases of crime in 1813, the year distillation was prohibited, than io lel 1, amen distillatio a was ni.o ?red ; and farther, to show the extent crime is ildnenced b ; intoxicating drink, the prison returns for Ireland for 1854 fnmisa the following evidence : In 18:54 the duty on spirits was 31 61 a gallon, consumption was 8 410,734 gallons; cases of crime 73,732. In the year 1355 the ditty was increased to as 2d per gallon. the consumption was 6,228,856 gallons, and there were 51,431 cases of crime. Taus, with this increase in duty there was a decrease in the consumption of intoxi cating drinks of about two millions of gallons, and a decrease of about 20,000 cases of crime amino:ly, damonstrating, as Dr. Oliver Goldsmith observed, that the miseries of the people are In proportion to the facilities afforded them for obtaining intoxicating drinks. Now, if these authenticated statistical facts bs not deemed suffi cient to prove the connection between drunkenness and crime, the evidence of the jadgas, of oar laud, gaolers, chap airs of gaols, law functionaries, noblemen, and gentleinen, will doubtless . establish the fact to a demonstration. Judge Patterson addressed the grand jury of the Norwich assizes in the following brief, bit es passive manner—'• If, gentlemen, it were not for this drink, yen and I would not have anything to do." Delon Aldereon declared to tlto jery, et Oho Yote aaaioco, that a very great proportion of the crime to be broogh; forward for their consiieration arose from tae te3 of drunkenne is. " Indeed," added his lordship, " if you take away from the cidend r all those cases which are connected with drunkenness, you will make the large calendar into a very small one ind _en." Judge Erskine, when poising sentence:of imprisonment and hard labour on a man who had, ueti the commission of the crime moved in a resl,ezte3la speere in life, and sustained al irreproachable cha racter, and who committed the crime when under the LIM nee of intoxicating drink, observed, that ninaszymine oat of every hundred of the cases that come before him arose from the sauie cause, viz., intoxicating drink. Judge Coleridge, addressing the grand jury at Oxford assizes, said— He never knew a case brought before him which was not directly or indirectly connected with intoaicating drink. Just ce Whiteman, at one of theLivoi pool assizes, said—' Almost all the cests of violence to the persons ucearred either at public houses or beerhouns." The Venerable oir Matthew said •—`• Tke paces in the j aiicature, siv.i eh I ha•e long held in this kingdom, have given mu the oppurtu niiy to observe tha original cause of the comes, and enormities com mitted during the last twanty years, and by tha , , observation I have fund that, if the bargl lass, rob'utriss, riuts, to :units, adulteries, raps, and other enormities committed were thvided int) live parts, four of them have been the product of excessive drinking." Judge Marshall has recmtly given similar testimony. Justices Telford and C:eswell, Baron. Platt, Lord Campbell, and other Justices, give similar testimony. Dr. Samuel Warrcn, the Re • corder of Hull, said, in 1854, that a public house a2peared to him to be the half-way house to the Rolls or Norfolk Island. M. D. ma, Esquire, the Recorder of Birmingham, said,—" The enormous consumption of intoxicating drink which prevails in this country is a source of crime not only more faille than any other, bat than all others put togetuer." The Lord Provost of Glasgow sail—" Closing pubic houses on the Lord's day had lease .ed crime 75 par cent." Mr. Wenner, Governor Of Navigate slid—" Ninety-nine out of every hundred of the prisoners c :me. to goal through druu•.eneess." „;,The Governor of Dumfries goal sail—"Ninoteeu oat of every twenty found themselves in prison through drunkenness.” The Governor of Ayro prisan declare I— Chat he hal " no hesitation. in sayial that, thirty-aiue oat of every forty is prison committed their crimes through intoxicating drinks." The Rev. Mr. Bagshaw, chaplain to the Na,v Saila, Manchester ; the Rev. Mr. Clay, chaplain to the Hume of Coneo:im, Pr:ston ; the Rev, Mr. Carter, chaplain to the Liverpool Borough Goal—affirm the testimony of the above. The Earl of f!khafteibury says—" I do not heitate to say that nine-tenths of the pauperism; nia3-tenths of tie difileultiet by which the wJrking classes are bast; nine-tenths of the woee that press upon them, are caused by tae pernicio is habit of drunkenness." De. Gore said before a Parliamentary C masitteo—That of "120 condemned criminals 1 have attended on tha ,ciffoll, they all de clared that intoxtcating drinks had led to tie cointnibiOn of the crimm for which they were about to forfeit their R. Gaest Waite, Esquire, before the same committee said, "Every execution I have ariended, daring the times I le tva been High Sheriff of Dubin, the soademued criminals ail attributed, in -their dying declarations, toat druokenne•s hal led to the commission of the crimes for watch they were about to suffer. Twenty coachmael criminals In ons month mule the same lammtable admission." A Dublin stipeldiary madsfrate dec'ared to the same cmitnilteo th .t of 1,730 cases he had heard in 14 dap, with very few exceptions, the crimes were attributed to drunkenness. I believe it turned up in evidence before a Parliamentary Com mt tee on the 17th June, 1853, that there were only 489 public houses in Manchester, and nearly six times that number in Liver pool, and six times as much drankeiness and crim3. A certain publican from Liverpool admitted to that Parliamentary Committee _ _ _ that crime and drunkenness would ba in proportioh to tho number of public h U 303. An able barrister employed to defend tie un godly traffic at a public =sting of licens.xl victuallers at Bic . . . . mingham said, that if the trad3 w.s thrown open men's throils would be cut in bel, life would be unsafe.
