WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1853. • IT is not an unusual occurrence, it would appear, in this town, for those who are directly entrusted with the preservation of the law to be the first and readiest to violate it. The police, generally speaking, are a most efficient body, and admirably adapted for the purposes for which they were intended by the Legislature. And, no doubt, the public are but too willing. to overlook any slight indiscretions on their part, owing to these con siderations. But there are times when they both palpably violate the law, and step far beyond the limits of their duty, when no palliation can be offered for their officiousness, and when their petty assumption of authority merits severe castigation. Those entrusted with such power as the police possess, should be extremely chary in the employ ment of it, and instead of. going beyond rather keep within the boundary assigned to them. From our police report of yesterday, it will be seen that the Messrs. RILEY were placed in the dock on the charge of assisting the escape of Mr M'CURTIN, who lately committed a forgery of an ex tensive nature on Sir DAVID ROCHE, of Limerick. We venture to say that such another bungling affair never came before a judicial bench, or such a hum•drum, patched-up story ever met the public ear ! With all its demerits it has the merit of originality ! Mr. CLOUGH, the police superintendent, was the first to giVe his evidence, which consisted in a reiteration of the facts of the forgery committed by Mr. M'CURTIN, but which was entirely irrelevant to the charge alleged against the gentlemen in the dock. After his tiresome rigmarole was ended, he said, with regard to the aiding and assisting in the escape of Mr.M'CunTIN, he would just submit the evidence which he had to prove the case. And what was that evidence ? Why the first witness, SULLIVAN, swore that he was a detective officer, and that Mr. CLOUGH gave him instructions to ' visit Mr. RILEY'S house and make inquiries for his absconding partner. Upon his doing so, he found the Messrs. RILEY leaving their residence in a cab, and he arrests them on the charge of being, accessories after the fact, which charge is most perseveringly alleged in court. However, before any positive evidence is offered, up gets Mr. CLOUGH, and informs the court, to its amazement, no doubt ! that just that moment, the lady upon whose testimony the whole allegation rested, informed him that she had been entirely mistaken as to the identity of Mr. IN/Tull:rug, as she mistook the younger Mr. RILEY for the author of the forgery. Upon which the accused gentle men were immediately discharged from .eustedy ; the magistrate testifying that the unjust deten tion of the Messrs. RILEY, on such a henious charge ought not, in the mind of any body, ope rate to their prejudice, as it appeared they had been arrested under a mistake, but that if there was any injury received they had their proper remedy. It is our candid opinion that the whole affair has been " botched up" by the police authorities That the Solicitor to the Bank had no hand, act s or part in the nasty transaction, is clear, as Mr. AsPIN ALL, the barrister, stated that that gentleman repudi ated it altogether. That the detective officer had acted upon his personal authority is very doubtful ; but it is more doubtful still that he should have been led astray by the statement of a lady. Detectives are not such fools ! They know well the scent of their prey ; and if at all comeatable, can with the instinct - of a blood-hound trace, track, and pounce upon it. Is it likely that SULLIVAN had not in his pocket a full and true description of the pretended object of his search? Is it possible that he could wilfully and knowingly mistake one party for another ? Is it to be believed that he was ignorant of such a gentleman as Mr. RILEY, jun. ? And when the lady told him of the father accompanying Air. M'CURTIN, did it not at all occur to him that she might have been mistaken as to the identity of the culprit. There is some thing at the bottom of all this, which must be sifted and exposed to public censure. If SULLIVAN has been so rash as to have taken such reprehensible authority upon himself, he deserves to be directly discharged from the force. But if it can be shown, which is likely, that he has merely been the instru ment in the hands of his superiors, then we say, let those parties be dealt with even in a severer manner. We hope that the Messrs. RILEY will in stitute a suit at law, in order to seek reparation for the illegal and barbarous treatment they have received. The police have been appointed to aid in the maintenance of law and order. When they are the first to transgress, they most righteously deserve condign punishment. We justly boast of personal liberty in this country ; but if such unwarrantable authority as the police, from time to time, assume, be permitted to go unrequited, we shall soon be in a similar position with the subjects of continental despots. No man can be sure of his safety for four-and-twenty hours together; and as for our selves, we have no certainty but that in our mid night peregrinations from our office, we might chance to be taken for a burglar or assassin ! The idea of such pericletation is anything but consola• tory. If such an open violation of duty as we have alluded to, be permitted to go unpunished, then we say, farewell to the justice of our laws—the spirit of our constitution—and the glory of our country. Then the language employed by HASTINGS, in King RICHARD 111., would not at all prove a false augury : " Miserable England ! I prophecy the fearful'st time for thee That ever wretched age hath look'd upon." THE growth of empire, the value of dominion, may be traced by a glance at the remotest village, or the smallest hamlet embraced within its grasp. The cabin of the Irish peasant.— The log-hut of the squatter in newly-acquired territories.—The rose-crowned cottage of the English labourer,—and the wild and lonely abode of the Highlander, are the landmarks by which we are enabled to trace the march of empire. From the threshold of the peasant who has been out-run by civilisation, and the pioneer who goes in advance of dominion, we witness the same result. Majestic cities filled with temples of religion.—Schools of classic learn ing.—Halls for the study of man's material condi tion.—Courts for the administration of justice.— Storehouses for the reception of food and luxuries for millions of beings.—Places assigned for the safe custody of the people's treasure.—Harbours for the reception of the world's ships.—Almshouses for the indigent.—Hospitals .for the sick, and huge marts of industry—homesteads- of employ ment, where, by the knowledge of a simple art or science, millions of souls are enabled to exist in comfort and in affluence. Such are the cities of these modern times, and such is Liverpool. Look back upon the old Nor nan castle, and the primitive fisherman's hut of tie seventeenth century, and then cast the eye song the banks _or the Mersey, and over the broad area of the town to-day, and nark the progress. 'Jake up BRAITHWAITE POOLE'S hand-book of the ommerce of Liverpool, .and, if vanity were less Ticked than suicide, we might sit down in our tiumph, and let posterity shift for itself. But here is work still to be done. A brilliant career thould have no end. Suppose England had sat sown quietly at the end of the last war, to live on the spoils of victory, where should we be able to find Liverpool, Manchester, Preston, Birmingham, and the many other large towns around us? In order to enable the reader to form a correct idea of the magnitude and importance of the trade )f this port, we will quote a few passages from Mr. POOLE'S book :—" Liverpool is the chief emporium for Cotton in the world, the imports into which " market, during the last ten years, at average " prices have exceeded in , value 14,000,0001. per c' annum ; the remittances and.• payments such ' working cloSely approach 50,000/. ; and the brokerage alone, at one-half per cent., including spceulative transactions distributed amongst a hundred cotton-brokers, has been estimated at 200,0001." Let,us here reflect for one moment on the mutual advantages which England and the cotton-gr Owing countries derive 'from this source. In the first ten months of the present tear, England exported ,no less than 27,152,7711. of other manufactures, so that on her import of 14,000,0001. of the raw material she realised a profit of 13,152,7711., in addition to supplying the wants of her own people, while the payment or 14,000,000/. to the cotton growers was not less profit able to the producer. Mr. POOLE next tells us, that "Of the total " miscellaneous traffic in the port of Liverpool, ". that is, exclusive of the coasting trade and " minerals, nearly one-half consists of two corn " modities—cotton and timber; and it is remark " able that, during the last year, 1852,, the imports "of each averaged 1,000 tons daily. About six " sevenths of the cotton is brought from the " southern states of North America, which produce " upwards of three-fourths of the entire' growth of " the world ; and as nearly four-fifths of this " American production is purchased by spinners, " in Lancashire and Yorkshire,' it is reasonable to " suppose that the bulk of this traffic will always pass through Liverpool." Here our author is quite right, for independently altogether of our close proximity to the great seats of manufacturing enterprise, there is no port in the kingdom capable of containing to the same advantage, the immense amount of shipping required to carry on such a traffic. Yet what is all our foreign trade compared to our coasting traffic ? The number of ships employed in our foreign trade is only 29,866, with an aggregate tonnage of 6,546,320; while the minaber of vessels engaged on our coasts is 123,599, with an aggregate tonnage of 11,350,010. These figures being taken from the returns of the entries inwards and outwards, in both cases, show exactly the magnitude of one traffic when compared with the other. With respect to our Cotton trade, Mr. PooLE also states that " the imports of cotton into " Great Britain are entirely centralised in the port " of Liverpool, with the exception of about 150,000 " bales. Upwards of • five-sixth's of the cotton " imported is ware housed in Liverpool before " being dispatched into the country for consump tion. The Stock held in the port 31st December " last was estimated at 577,810 bales, exceeding in " value 5,778,000/. Even the Cotton imported " into London, Hull, and other sea-ports, if not " sold direct to the spinners or re-exported, is " frequently sent to Liverpool for sale ; and the " number of bales brought by inland communi " cation last year rather exceeded 4,000. " The increased accommodation afforded by rail ways, for the transit of cotton into the interior, has materially helped to increase the trade. Of the 2,000,000 bales forwarded inland last year, it ap pears the railways carried 1,243,176, and the river and canals 744,364. .0f this large quantity Man chester takes 20 per cent. ; Ashton and Staly bridge, 13; Rochdale, 12; Bury, Bacup, &c., 9 ; Oldham, 81; Stockport, 8 ; Preston, 61; Bolton, 6 ; Hull, 5 ; Glossop, 4; and other places 1 per cent. It would be difficult to form an idea of the advan tages which accrue to the country generally, from the importation and use of this one commodity. In addition to yielding a large income to all our established means of transit, it leaves a profit with the shipowner, merchant, broker, warehouseman,. the engineer, the operative, his wife and children, and the mill owner; and when it becomes a _ . manu factured article it passes away into another circle, where it leaves an equal, if not a greater, number of profits. In taking to herself by far the greater share of the credit due to the establishment of the cotton trade, Liverpool seeks no more than her right. If it was not for the encouragement given by a few far-seeing men of this town to the first venture that was made to introduce it into England, the traffic we boast of would not be in existence. There are other branches of trade and commerce, however, of nearly equal value and importance to which we shall draw attention at an early date. Accrumrr.—A man, named James Walker, residing in Trueman-street, fell from the roof of a house in Peter's lane, and, strange to say, none of his limbs were broken, and he escaped with the exception of a few slight bruises. The above case was received at the Infirmary. SUICIDE IN THE QUEEN'S HOTEL.—Oa Monday, a very painful case of self-destruction took place at Mr. Curchods, the Queen's Hotel, Lime-street, in this town. The unfor tunate man who destroyed himself was named James Smith, a native of Aberdeen, who had been for some time in the employ of the Cunard company, in the capacity of mate of one of the British and North American mail steamers; but who it appears had recently been discharged for, it is stated, unsteady habits. On Thursday evening, the deceased went to stop at the Queen's Hotel, and nothing peculiar was observed in his manner to lead to the belief that he would attempt self-destruction. On Thursday, or Friday last, the deceased obtained, from Mr. Wingate, druggist, Elliott street, to whom he had been introduced by Mr. Fisher, senior surgeon of the Cunard line of mail boats, a quantity of prussic acid of full strength. Mr. Fisher had formerly prescribed prussic acid for the deceased in a diluted state, and he represented to Mr. Wingate that Mr. Fisher had directed him to obtain it undiluted, as what he had before taken medicinally, had not had a proper effect. On those represen tations Mr. Wingate gave him prussic acid. Smith was last seen alive between 12 and 1 o'clock, a.m. ' on Monday morn ing, when he obtained a light from Bridget Riley, the chambermaid of the Queen's Hotel, for the purpose of goinc , to bed. At this time he seemed to be very cheerful. The deceased then retired to his room, but as he did not make his appearance at a reasonable hour next morning, the chamber maid concluded he had left his room unobserved, and finding the door was unfastened, she entered the room about four o'clock in the afternoon, and saw the deceased lying in the bed undressed. His face seemed pale, and this led her to believe he was dead, and she immediately raised an alarm. Mr. Carolan, surgeon, was called in, an on examining the bed, he found a bottle which had contained prussic acid, and the deceased smelt strongly of it. This at once led him to the conclusion that life had been destroyed by means of poison. Mr. Carolan also found a small slip of paper, on which was written in pencil the following words —" The underneath will be understood---Had more leniency been shown this would never have happenel---disgrace from such a quarter is insufferable." On the person of the deceased was found, a letter directed to his sister, Miss Smith, 34, Chapel-street, Aberdeen, in which he tells her that he had exposed himself to all sorts of hard weather in different climates ; that his constitution was breaking up ; and to be cast adrift upon the world was insufferable. lie added, "Before you get this, the hand that wrote it will be cold in death. ". Mr. Blake, the beadle of the coroner's court, also found on the deceased, amongst other papers, a first class master-seaman's certificate. Yesterday, an inquest was held on the body, and a verdict of self- destruction, whilst labogaing under temporary insanity, was returned. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING. The specie brought by the America amounts to 433,130 dollars. This will be a valuable addition to the large quantity brought by . the Orinoco. The intelligence brought by this vessel, having been so fully given in our paper of yesterday, it is un necessary to reprint it here. Its importance, however, is sufficient to show that we spare no pains or expense in obtaining advices, even later than any other paper in England. This fact must be universally admitted, and cannot be lost on a commercial community. The receipts of Cotton . advices from America, for the week ending 23rd November, continue limited, being only 63,732 bales, against 108,691 for the corresponding week last year.
