I'OLICE INTELLIGENCE-YzgrERD AT. LIVERPOOL. BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD. PVT OUT TUE LIGHT, AND TEEN-7-A LARK.—Mr. James Barton, described as a bre ,ver, having Isis brewery in Wind sor, and living in Upper.Partiament-etreer, was put to the bar, charged by a night watchman named George 'Webster, who watches for the Cirporation, with having stolen a lamp value Ha. Mr. Almond rip - peered for the prisoner, who had one of his arras in a sling, and it appeared that he had recently broken the limb. The complainant said he was on duty ,in Lowther-street that . merning, about two o'clock, when he saw the prisoner and two other gentlemen pass on, and -soon after he saw them take one of his lamps away. He folio.ved them into Parliament street, when he heard the prisoner say to the others, Bolt." They did so,, and then e avitnesa , ran after the prisoner and caught him He gave him into custody, on a charge of stealing his lamp. Mr. Almond : Do you know the prisoner ? Plaintiff: Yes. Mr. Almond : Do you' think he intended to steal the lamp? Plaintiff: I don't know that he did, but he said it was a bit of a' lark ; brit I don't like such uzly larks, as I have to pay for the lamp, one I think he ought to b made pay for such larks too. Inspector Chew said the prisoner was a most respectable gentleman, and no doubt he did not intend to steal the lamp. Mr. Almond said the pris - oner was a very respectable brewer, and was going home with his friends, and although he had a broken arm, perhps he had taken too much vice, but the idea of his stealing the lamp was simply nonsense. The lamp was found in the locality, damaged to the extent of 4s. Mr. Mansfield crdered the 43 to be paid, and immediately discharged the prisoner. VroLserr ASSAULT.—A woman named Catherine Hickey, who resides in 40 Court, Mann-street, was charged with Navin, violently asssaulted ano:her woman, named Cate sine irckhy, by flinging a large earthenware vessel out of a window on the head of c:mplainant. The fasts being proved, Surgeon Pope, of the Southern Hospital, said that there were several eantused wounds on the woman's bead, one down to the bone. At, present he could not tell exactly the result. The prisoner was remanded for seven siays. SHOPLIFTING. —A young woman, flashily dressed, who lave her name as Mary lif)binson, and who had a fine child in her arms, cad an old woman namad Bridget Brown, were brought up by Officers Scaife and Thompson, on a charge of having stolen two silk dresses, vain.; £ll, from the shop of Messes. Bright, Legge & Co., Bold-street. it appeared that on Tuesday, between two and four o'clock, the dresses were stolen from the shop, and that one of the young men in the shop saw the youngest prisoner in the shop betwcen the hours above stated. From the evidence of the officers, it appeared that they found that the prisoners had pledged the articles, and they arrested them in a house in, Burlington-street. The young one at first denied that she even knew where Bold street was, and therefore never was there, but subsequently she said that a young man in the house had given her the dresses, but she would suffer twelve months' imprisonment 'before she world 'divulge on him, as it would prove his ruin. Scaife said he did not believe the s'ory. Both prisoners were identified as having pledged the dresses, sad they were sent for trial. BEFORE MESSRS. S. MOLME AND J. A. TURNER. CDARGE OF INDECENT ASSAVLT.—A girl, about eighteen 7-tars of age, named Martha Sheridan, a servant at the house of Mrs. Hart, Waterloo-road, summoned Mr. Daniel P. Mitchell, shipping agent and broker, for having indecently assaulted her on Thursday last, Mr. Cobb was for the complainant, and Mr. Block for the defendant. Prom the evidence of the girl, which was a corroboration of the opening statement of Mr: Cobb, it appeared that on Thursday last, the defendant, Mrs. Hart, and three other iadies, were in the drawing- oom of. Mrs. Hart's Uwe, Waterlao road ; underneath the helm, the defendant has his offices; the complainant went into the draWihg room, about some bus i ness, and the defendant also entered the room. Beon after the baker called with bread, and the oempleinent was sent for the bread, which she took into the drawing-room, and then her mistress told her to put it into the eapboard. The cupboard was man angle of the stairs, and the girl, whilst putting tee bread there sue followed by the defendant, who acted improperly inwards her, and this was the complaint. Mr. Bluele erase-examined the complainant, and she. said she was not more than two or three yards from the drawing- TOOM, and that she screamed out several,,ticues, Arid shat her mistress heard her, but imagined she was only la keag all the tine wish some of the other girls. Her mistress went to . Mr. Mitchell's office and scolded him about it, after she (witnese) told her about it. Mr. Ruck : How long was it goirg ou ? Witness : Reif au hoar. Mr. Block: Half an hour, and you screaming ail she time? Yes. Mr. Block : Do you mean to swear that to be true? Yes, sir. Mr. Holme: That's almost impos atible, and you only two or three yards from the drawing room door, where there were three ladies. It is very . strange. Atter some discussion, it was determined to send. lor Mrs. Hart, and Mr. M'Cumb, one of the officers of the eorrt was sent for her, but, he soon attar returned, saying flee lady flew into an awful passion with him, and said she did not care for all the magistrates in Liverpool, and she would not come, as her husbands was net at home. ~rlr. Pluck then addressed the court for the defendant, and 311 r. Holme Said it was impossible to credit the girl's uncorroborated statement. There might have been some Joking going on, but for:a girl to continue screaming for half an hour, within two or three yarth of the ladies, the hencir - could not believe. The &Ise was temp dismissed. SELLING Sneers wrrnone Lemesee--Acne Connor, who keeps a teller in Sawney eel . , was convicted of ;selling whiskey without licenee, and fldett.£2s. HEALTH COMMITTEE. The usual weekly meeting of this Committee was old at half-past two o'clock yesterday, in the Town Ball, Mr. Alderman Dover in the chair. Other members present Messrs. Shell, Cronin, Godfrey, Bowring Bolden, Crosthwaite, Johnson, Anthony, Hay.dock, Hutchison, and Robertson Gladstone, HEALTH OF VIZ TOWN. The Medical Officer of Health reported that the mor tality of the borough was considerably higher than the average ,of the season—the, deaths. in the four weeks ending October 24, 31, Nov. 7 and 14, having been respectively 278, 261,_ 316, 25Z—reeking in the ageregate 1,107, against an average corrected for increase of popu• Wien of 892. in the same ,period of the preceding nine years.. The deaths in the week before last were more numerous than in any week of the previous ten years, except during the prevalence of epidemic cholera. But it was satisfactory to know that this increased mortality was in a great measure due to atmospheric causes, the damp weather, and easterly winds of tht last five - weeks having caused an unusual prevalence of influenza and inflammatory affections of the chest. The excess in the total mortality of the four weeks as compared with the corresponding period of former years was 215, and of this 146 were furnished by diseases of the lungs, and only 46 by zymotic diseases—a class which was chiefly under the control of sanitary measures. The deaths from diseases of the lungs (including consumption, hat exclud ing hooping cough) were 397, the corrected average being seel; and those from zymetic diseases were 349, the cor rected average being 303. The diseases of this class, which were more fatal than usual, were scarlatina, which caused 129 deaths, the average being 93; hooping cough, causing 63 deaths, average 24; and typhus 56, average 40. On the other hand, measles was only fatal in four eases, the average being 24. Of the remaining zymetic diseases, diaracea caused 43 deaths, small pox 10, croup 7, dysentery ti, syphilis 6, cholera 1, chicken pox 1. Two males and two married females, died from the effects of intemperance. The Medical Officer having certified that the lime. burning works of Mr. William Wain, in Vandries-street, tame a. neleanee injurious to the he dth of the inmaies of The United States Hotel, and of the occupiers of the adjoining premises, the Deputy Town. C erk (Mr. Ill'Gowan), was instructed to take the necessary lept proceedings for the removal of the nuisance, The- Borough' Engineer, Bei!ding Surveyor, and 'lmpeder of Nuisances reported various particulars of the operations in their several departments during the past four weeks, from which it appeared that 378 nuisances, complained of by the inhabitants, had been inspected, and !means taken to remedy theta; 2,908 heti cs, in the mahealthiest district (containing 10,852 ap ir melita aotl f449o6.cellars),.had been put under examination, with the view of improving their sanitary cond t!on ; and 704 lOdging houses had also teen examine] and rsporteJ upon. A letter fiom the Toxtet la Board of Guardians was read, reene.sting to be informed whether it was the intention of the committee to include the widening of SsYthdown lane in any improvement ball they osiel t bring before Parliament this session, and in the caeca of such being their intention, that the Board might, bejallo wed to cos esasrafe with them in_the matter. The Deputy Town Clerk was instructed to reply that the committee had no intention to include that improve ment in their bi:l of the coming session, and that it was mow too late to give notice of it. GopFHLY, brought under, the notice of the committee the necessity for some protection for pa3sengers crossing the street at St. James's-place. On Sunday night two persons were killei there by being run over. IL thought there should be a large public lamp or other protection in the street. The matter was referred to the Watch Committee. ' l2 This concluded the general business. ' • At LEWIS & COMPANY'S, Renelagh-street. BOYS are ctorBED from the Ages of Six to twenty Years. THE NORTHERN TIMES. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1857. THE CURRENCY. TO TIM EDITOR OF THI NORTHERN TIMES. Twelve months ago, when you were, with eon siderable energy, setting before the Public the subject of the currency, the writer, as one of the most obscure of an insignificant-minority-band ; the midst of the great phalanx of commercial men, ventured.a few observations touching the' principles connected therewith. In doing so, , I studiously avoided entering upon any plan to- . remedy the cvils by which all classes are affected, but to the eause of which an overwhelming majority of the community wore then in a purblind trance—the result of the golden commercial notions they had imbibed from custom of commerce under the high'' sanction of merchant princes, and the first states men'and senators of the most powerful -nation in the world, whose social laws all nations, however tardily and reluctantly, are obviously obliged to adopt. My reason for thus tediously dwelling -at first principles, was intentional, and because it appeared to me that those first principles were not understood, and that, so long as the real seat of the disease remained unknown, it was useless - to pro pose a remedy. With the best and most complete system of currency reform, it would be in vain to urge its adoption on a free community, such as ours, ere they were convinced that the present system was at fault, and were brought to understand the fun damental principles on which our currency should be based. The little progress which was made at the time rather favours the course I pursued, and shows that when, as Napoleon used to say, I looked on and considered " the pear not ripe," I was not far wrong. The fact is, that the wealthy portion of the community, up to a certain point, may be said to hold the adjustment of this important matter in their own hands, while the superficial aspect of it makes it appear that its adjustment would militate materially against their interests. Whether that would be so_ in practice or not is a subject of itself that ought not to influence our course of procedure in the way of what is right. These introductory remarks are given in expla nation and as an apology to such as do not deem it necesf.lry to keep dwelling on first principles; but until the community be thoroughly grounded there in, I feel reluctantat 'any very comprehensive plan, involving a radical change in our currency being proposed, for the simple reason, that I think it could not meet with favour or countenance from any but the very few who are advocating the cause, and anxious for reform, knowing, as they do, that things must grow worse and worse, in proportion as we increase in wealth and commerce, for there - can be no steadiness in commerce, and no stability in business, while we continue to give to gold a- legal aligarchal supremacy over' every known description of property—despotic and tyrannising in its very constitution.—Yours, &s., Liverpoo, 19th 140 v., - 1857. CoRNELIUS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—The metallic Wealth of this country is in the hands of the industrial population, sinee the unprecedented prosperity and expansion of our manufactured products, since 1845, has thrown into their hands per week per man, instead of £l, as formerly. They have hoarded £2, and sent £1 back into circulation each week, in exchange for the necesvaries of life. took, for one moment, at the enormous demand for gold and silver coin each week throughout the country, for wages only; consequently, as trade expands, and the employ ment of labour becomes greater year by year, so foes the demand for coin, and as the supplies do not keep pace with our increasing wants, the only way the Bank of England can call any of its gold back is, by creating a One Pound note for the growing wants of the people.—Yours, Liverpool, 19th November, 1857. E. M. LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY - COURT.—YzsTEimAY. BEFORE MR. COMMISSIONER PERRY. In re W. W. JONES —The bankrupt was a ship-builder, of Nit Madoc. This was an adjourned application for the certificate. Mr. Evens, for the assignee, stated that the accounts required at the last sitting had not yet been supplied, and that, consequently, the application for the certificate should be , further adjourned. Aijourned accordingly to the 27th November. In re DANIEL DIIITON.—The bankrupt, commission agent, of Liverpool, came up on his adjourned last examination. Mr. Evans, for the assignees, having expressed himself satisfied with the accounts as filed, the bankrupt p ssed, and the 17th December was fixed for the certificate meeting. CHEMISTS' ASSOCIATION. This Society met in the Royal Institution last night, the President, Mr. H. S. Evans, in the chair. Mr. John Mulles was elected a member, and Messrs. W. Whittaker and G. Rawlend - , associates, The President placed on the table a specitwet of Syrian Scammony. The Secretary exhibited two Patent Bottles, in which the stoppers were fastened by a spring-lock, and were presented to the Museum by Mr. George Thompson. Mr. ABRAHAM read the following letter, which he had received from Dr. Muspratt, accompanied by a request that he would read it to the Society : Dear Sir,—lt appears from the experiments of Dr. Mallock (who was formerly my pupil, and is, I am proud to say, now one of the leading chemists in the metropols), that the present methods of conducting a water analysis ara nit rly erroneous, and I gladly confirm him in the view he 'takes; namely, that . all river and • catchment waters (e.g. the Rivington water), are contaminated with decaying organic matter; which evolves, even at the common tens perature—fetid poisonous gases, the true nature of which we are in utter ignorance about ; however, from the well known influence of these exhalations in producing certain zymotie diseases, we miy assume them to be much more deleterious than either sulphide or phosphide of hydrogen, or sulphide of ammonium. Now, as Medlook finds these gases escape at the ordinary temperature, it follows as a matter of course that in evaporating half a gallon of water to dryness, as is ordinarily dote in analysing water, they will all be dissipated with the steam and elude detection, consequently, the organic =Atter remaining after drying at 248°, affords no indica tion of the quantity of malarious matter originally present! since, on ignition, chlorides of magnesium and sodium are volatilised, mad nitrates decomposed, so the loss of weight experienced cannot possibly represent the quantity of organic matter contained in the water. Afedlock has proved that by boiling a water the greater part of the organic matter is decomposed, and that which remains is car bonaceous and noc-petrescible. I can fully establish his results by my own. Dr. Medlock's deductions are most important, as they will entirely revolutionise the " Chemis. try of Water." He states, and justly, that '= the opinions feundefl on ordinary analyses, which are made with the 'view of Jeierrniuiog Cro3 Atn”9 of a water for dirtOiq purpo . e , , are utterly worihiees." PiaYair and others givd 0.98 grains of organic matter in a gallon of the Pike water. There is at least four times this quantity, and of such a nature as to render it totally unfit for drink, whatever some chemists may say au contraire.

LIVERPOOL, Thursday Evening. There is no change to notice in commercial affairs. Business continues dull, and prices of leading articles of trade are unchanged. The Weekly Court of Directors •of the- Bank of Eng land separated without any alteration in the rate of discount. The Governors of the Bank are said to have had under consideration to-day, an applica tion for assistance from a larg e firm. The Money Market does not improve, as te demand continues very active. Full rates of discount are insisted upon. Messrs. A. F. and D. Mackay, in their circular, dated this evening, make the following remarks upon the state of monetary affairs 'in the United Kingdom. • At the date or otir last we were in *hat might not unfairly be called the first stage of a pecuniary fever since that period we have experienced the full shock of the paroxysm, and a state of lassitude corresponding to the previous excitement has ensued. The day before the issue of our last circular saw the Bank of England, at the bidding of rapacious capitaliws, raise the rate of discount to nine Per cent., and three days afterwards the same influences, and the same agency further increased the rate to 10 per cent. The ostensible object of this measure was to prevent the drain of bullion from the coffers of the Bank ; but events soon demonstrated that whatever the pretext, the result did not .keep pace with the pretended object. The stock of bullion was reduced so low, that a threatened demand on the part of the Scotch Banks to call for gol3 in exchange for Bank of England notes and public securities, , effected what ministers and currency doctors pronounced to be impossible, and what the Bank Directors has for years proclaimed to be fraught with ruin. It brought about a sus pension of the iniquitous Bank Restriction Act of 1844 ; and simultaneously with that suspension the troubles which had agitated the money market, and precipitated many deserv ing individuals into the vortex of ruin, were calmed. The general business of the country, which, during the early part of yesterday week, and for some time previous, WAS at a stand, was suddenly set in motion. True, the extent of action was but small, still it was a wonderful and grati"ying improvement on what, up to the moment referred to, bad existed ; and men, ever prone to seize upon the most pro mising feature, of what to them is life or death in a com mercial sense, indulged freely for a time in the hope that the worst had come and passe :I away. Reflection, how ever, has, in the minds of the best thinkers in the commu nity, thrown doubt over this pleasing anticipation. All agree that the evil day has been staved off, but many feel convinced that its ultimate effects must stil be encountered, and at a disadvantage, and that even in modified degree these effects will be hazardous if not oppressive. Uncer tainty in relation to all business transactions has taken place of the promised confidence—no one places reliance on the supposed resources of' another—every one seems, and feels, as if he stood entirely by himself, and to talk of a healthy or robust condition of commercial relations under such circumstances is felt to be a mockery, if not something worse. The question is indignantly asked on all hand., and that, too, by men little eddic ecl to com plaint, why or by what means have we beeu reduced to such a state of mercantile imbecility ? One, and only ore, answer is breathed on all sides. The anomalous position. of our commercial arrangements is unanimously attributed to that false system of legislation, by which the whole monetary proceedings of this great commercial empire are left in the hands of a bullionist oligarchy, who have an interest, as the law gives them the power, to tamper with our pecuniary condition—now extending and now limiting the amount of our circulating medium as best suits their collective into eats and profits. This is a state of affairs which it is generally agreed cannot be permitted to con tinue. The discretionary power vested in the executive to step in and abrogate the unwholesome advantages conferred on the moneyoeracy—itself an acknowledgement that the law is wrong—has twice been called into operation within the limited period of ten years; but on loth occasions not before . the country was on the brink of bankrupcy, if not also of revolution, engendered mainly by the operation 'cf this law. Is this fact not of itself sufficient to prove the inefficiency and detrimental character of our whole monetary policy ? The law provides for and assumes that, at all times, the Bank shall retain in its coffers gold and public securities to an amount nearly equal to the extent of its natcs in circulation. This halcyon state of affairs has never yet been found to exist. The Bank (of course we mean the Bank of England,) when called on in any great emergency, has always been found wanting; and tojudge of the future by the past, it always will be found wanting, until an entire change shall have been effected in the system, whereby gold, like other arti cles of merchandise, shallbe free to obey the laws which regulate supply and demand. Parliament is to meet in the course of a few days, avowedly to pass an indemnity to ministers for that breach of the law, which the im perfection of the law i'self rendered imperative. This will be done as a matter of course ; but it is to be hoped the legislature will not separate for even a brief period, without initiating some measure by which our monetary legislation will ultimately be placed on a rational and firm basis. Trifling with the commercial interests of this country for the benefit of a few, cannot, and it is to be hoped will not, be longer tolerated. The Cotton Market has been dull to-clay, but prices are pretty well supported. The sales were about 2,000 bales, including a few hundreds for export.

With deep regret we have to acquaint you that we are compelled to suspend payment, and have in consequence to request the indulgence of our creditors. Heavy cash advances to parties in the United States who are at present unable to meet their engagements, the effect of recent failuresrin thiis 'cointry.in suddenly rendering unavailable remittances already received, together with the uncertainty which exists respecting future remittances, are tke causes which have necessitated this step on our part.

GREAT Elem.—The most extensive fire that hes taken place within the city of London for some time past le.ppened on Saturday moaning, at 'our o'clock, on the premises belonging to Messrs. Smith and Sons, wholesale confectioners, carrying on business in Fell-street, Cripple gate. The building in which the fire commenced was nearly 300 feet long, four stories high, and contained property of great value, independently of steam engines and apparatus for cutting, moulding, stamping, and boilieg articles of confectionary. The discovery was made by a police officer of the city force, who at once gave an alarm, and sent off for the fire escapes and engines. In the course of a few minutes the R)yal Society's escapee attended, as well as numerous engine, of the London brigade and that of the West of England office. Before, however, sufficient time had elapsed far an engine to be set to work, the fire, seizing upon the great amount of sugared articles in the place, rushed through the upper windows and 10-p'noles in the building. After several hours' hard work the firemen at length got the conflagration subdued, bet tot until an enormous amount of property was destroyed, including the dressing-rooms and their contents, the stove-rooms, the juice-rooms, and the jujube ware Louses. The rest of the premises and contents are also seriously damaged by fire and water. The firm was insured in the Lancaster, the Northern, the Manchester, end Globe fire offices. Five of the Salters' almsheuees and some of the houses in Monkwellstreet are much damaged. The origin of the fire is unknown.
