BunceAßY.—Joseph 11.,dgson was charged with having, at Preston, on the night of the fith December, feloniously broken into the house of John Shaw, with intent to steal. Mr. Blair prosecuted. The very remarkable feature about this case was, that the police actually succeeded, for once, in preventing a crime from being committed. having come upon the burglar at an opportune moment. The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced by his Lordship to four years' penal servitude. Gsttorre roBBERY IN LIVERPOOL.—George Tellett, aged 22, joiner, and Mary Hanley, aged 17, were charged with having, at Liverpool, on the 28th November, feloniously assaulted one William Coates, putting him in bodily fear, and stolen from him a scarf shawl. Mr. Fen wick prosecuted, and Mr M`Donnell defended the prisoner Tellett. The prosecutor, who is a' draper's assistant, residing in Everton, was going on the night in question homeward up Brunswick* road ; a woman was walking behind him. As he was passing a dark lane called Greenside, he was seized by the throat from behind, and dragged in ; it was a man who dragged him in ; the woman searched his pockets, and not finding anything, took off his scarf. He succeed d in raising a cry of " Murder," on which the pair left him, and went down Brunswick road ; in getting away, the female dropped the scarf, which was given back to prosecutor by a party who care up at the cues. The prosecutor identified the female, but could not swear to the man, as, during the assanit, the man kept bebind.—Mr. Simm, clerk in the Royal Insurance Comnanv. was troing borne in toe same rtireciion on that night, and saw, on the same side of the street, the prisoner Tellett and a woman, and on the opposite side, the prosecutor followed by another woman. The prosecutor spoke in a loud tone to the woman, telling her to go about her business, and not to follow him, for he would have nothing to do wi h her; ' this was about the top of Islington. He then observe the woman who Thad been following Coates st o p a t th e cornir of Erskine street ; Coates . crossed the s reet, and went up Brunswick road, passing, in doing so, the prisoner Tellett and the woman with him, whom witness i. - lentifies as the female prisoner; they followed prosecutor a short distance, and presently witness heard a cry of " murder." 'Witness ran in the direction of the cry, and met the prisoner Teller, running out of Greenside with all the appearance of having been in a struggle. Saw him join the first woman, who had stopped at the corner of Erskine Street. Witness arrested Tellet and gave him into custody. Did not at that time see the female prisoner, but saw her soon after in custody. Mr. Holden, wei2ber in the Custom-House, was coming home up I s lington at the time mentioned, and heard a cry of murder. He ran in the direction of Greenside, and met the prisoners at the bar coming towards him. The female was on the right side of the male, and they were walking quic!sly. Observed t h e female drop a scarf from under her arm. She was about three yards from witness, and there was a gas lamp near. Saw the pro secutor coming down. Warless pick e d up the scarf and gave it to prosecutor. He then followed the prisoners and succeeded in arresting the female. Saw the male prisoner coming down Brunswick Road. 'two police officers who came up immediately after, corrobor ated-the evidence. The case having closed, Mr. M`Don nirll addressed the jury for the prisoner Tellett. The jury found both prisoners guilty, Tellet bad been twelve times summarily convicted previously. Each was sen tenced to fifteen years transportation. The woman shreked loudly on hearing the sentence, and was removed still screaming hysterically. STABBING ON THE HIGH SEAL—William Leonard, a seaman, was placed in the dock, charged with having, on the 16th of last September, on that part of the high seas under the jurisdiction of tl e Admiralty of England, stabbed, cut, and wounded his chief mate, 3,1111e8 Par kins, with the intent to maim him, end do him grievous bodily harm, He was also charged with a felonious assault upon his captain, Andrew Montgomery, master of the ship E. A. Soullard, on her voyage from Callao to Liverpool, via Cork, The charge preferred by the captain was first entered Into. From the eta'ement of the captain it appeared that the ship left Callao on the 26th August last, and when off Cape Horn she sprung a leak, so as to render every exertion necessary to keep her afi ett, On the 16th of September, at half-past eight o'clock, the prisoner's duty was to be on deck, Finding that the prisoner did net come forward, he went to the forecastle and called him to come up. He said he would not come until he was ready: The captain threatened to drag him out. The mate came up at that moment, and said " come along, Bill, dont be foolish," at the same time laying his hand uppn the pri toner's shoulder. The prisoner turned round upon the mate, and flourished a large knife. The captain seeing the knife, seized ho'd of the prisoner, who managed to upst.t him ever a chest, and while he was down struck him in the back with the knife. The crew were rather inclined to mutiny, and for a day or two refused to put the prisoner in irons. He was, however, ulti mately put in irons, and thus brought home. The evidence of the captain was corroborated by the mate, the cook, and other witnesses It is unnecessary to do more than thus briefly summarise the evidence, inasmuch as all the facts appeared fully before the magistrates, and were reported in this paper so recently as last Thursday. The prisoner addressed the jury, admitting that he bad stabbed the captain and the mate, but stating that he only did so in self-defence, as he was attacked by them both at once, in such a manner as to endanger his life. The jury found the prisoner guilty. His Lordship sentenced him to eighteen calendar months' imprisonment, with hard labour. STABBING IN LIVERPOOL.—Juan De Gara was charged with stabbing Samuel Bridge, with intent to maim, and to do grievous bodily harm, on the night of the Bth inst. The facts of this case, as they appeared before the magistrates, were published in this paper a few days back. The prosecutor, who is an engineer living in Stanhope street, was coming home with another man on the night in question, through Grove street, off Har rington street, when they were met by the prisoner, who came running up, and without saying a word, struck prosecutor a violent blow on the thigh. Prosecutor did not at first know that he was wounded, until he put his hand down and felt the blood running down his trowsers. He saw the prisoner run away. and join two or three men. and go into a public house. Prosecutor found a police roan, and brought him to the house ; they went in, and there the prosecutor pointed out, among several other men, the man he alleged to have stabbed him. A medical gentleman connected with the Southern Hospital, and the police officer who arrested the prisoner, were examined also. Mr. Conway conducted the prosecution, and Mr. M . Donnell defended the prisoner. The captain of the vessel in which prisoner, who is a Spanish sailor, had been employed for the past twelve months, was examined through an interpreter, and gave him a good character as a steady and respectable man. The jury acquitted the prisoner. FORGING A SEAMAN'S ADVANCE NOTE.—Peter Grose, lodgingleouse keeper, was charged with forging several seamen's advance notes, and in another count, with uttering them, knowing them to be forged. On the 20th of November, the prisoner presented four or five sea men's advance notes for £ each, to a tailor and outfitter, named Spurheim, in Frederick street. These notes afterwards turned out to be forged. The prisoner was arrested on board a vessel, where he had taken his passage for America. Mr. Preston prosecuted, and Mr. M'Donnell defended The prisoner was acquitted. The court rose a little after half past six, and the business of the assizes terminated. LIVERPOOL SESSIONS.

C, , LLISION IN THE RlVER.—Griffith Thomas the master of a small vessel named the Thomas Thomas, was summoned by Captain Mayer, of the vessel Anne Elizabeth, of Bergin, for £l2 3s 61, for damage done to his craft on Thursday mernit g last, (ff New Brighton. Mr. Bluck wes for the defence. It appeared that about seven o'clock on the morn ing in coestion, the vessels were anchored near each other. The detendant weighed, and it was alleged that in conse quence of his negligence, by not porting his helm, that he came in contact with the plaintiff's vessel, broke the jib boom, carried away the bobstays and figure head, and other wise injured her. Three or four witnesses were examined to prove the plaintiffs case, and they said it was quite light at the time, and besides this, there were the usual lights on board the Anne Elizabeth. They also stated that they called out several times to the Thomas, but there was no notice taken of the warnirg. Mr. Block cross examined the witnesses with the view of showing that the fault lay at . the other side, and that the plaintiff should have ported his helm when called on to do so. He also endeavoured to establish that the amount sought for was more than double the damage sustained by the vessel. He called witnesses in support of this view of the case, and certainly the esidence giv n by them was very opposite to that given by the plaintiff. According to their version, it was quite dark at the time, end there were Lo lights on board the Anne Elizabeth ; and the witness nttrih”... , l tbo altvguilict so inat vessel. Mr. Mansfield said he believed the story told by the plaintiff's witnesses. It was impossible for a vessel lying at anchor ti be in fault, as described ; and, therefore, he found in favuur of the plaintiff. As to the amount of damages, he would leave that, as in all such cases, to the harbour mast r, who would judge equally between the parties. The defendant must also pay the costs. CAUTION TO MARINE STORE DEALRRS.—Two boys, named Charles Martin and Anthony Robinson, apparently from 12 to 15 years of age, were charged under the following cir cumstances : —For some time past a quantity of articles were missed from the warehouse of Mr. Robinson, in Pownall square, and on the previous night the boys were found in the warehouse. Whilst being conveyed to the station, they pointed out the shop of a marine store dealer, named Peter M•Kenea, in Park lane, and told the policeman that they had sold him 46:bs of leaf, which they had taken from Mr. Robinson's. This turned out to be correct, and then M'Kenna was given in charge. Mr. Bluck appeared for him, and argued that the affair was a fair, honest transaction, and regularly entered in the Prisoner's book. Mr. Mansfield censured the conduct of M'Kenna, and fined hlm ordering, at the same time, to have his license suspended for the present. "A JUVENILE ARTFUL DODGER."--There are more ways of making out life than are dreamt of in our philo s phy, and as this is the age of " new inventions," there does not appear any reason wby Master Thomas Mitchell, a juvenile of 11 or 12 summers, should not try his hand, as well as more mature persons. Whether, however, he was only the machine of another or not, there is no proof, His mode was as ,follows :—Having procured a bundle of old newspapers, he would proceed to Smithdown lane, and as there was no lack of mud and gutter there, he found it an easy task to besmear the aforesaid antiquated pieces of inforination pretty plentifully with the aforesaid mud or gutter, as t h e case might be. His next dodge was to watch the approach of some lady or gentleman, when he would set tap the most lamentable—nay, heartrending screams imaginable. This, of course, drew attention to him, and he was sur e to he asked the never-failing question of " What's to do ?" He had a capital story—one that THE NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, yielded him considerable capital—on hand, and it was this. He told a woeful tale of how he was set on by a lot of boys, who, not content with beating himself, destroyed his stock in trade—the old new-papers—and that was all be had to support a poor old mother. This was so well utranged, and so artlessly told, that it drew forth not only sympathy, but had the effect of drawing forth purses also, and his income soon, perhaps, would have come within the " income tax," had not a discovery taken place. This caused him not only to change his quarters, but his trade also. Icntead of paper, he turned his thoughts to the " timber trade," and how be managed this " business" was as follows :—He procured a few chips, got a basket, and went to :some wttcr hole or other in the suburbs, scattered the chips about, and when he found any one coming the usual cry was raised, and the usual story told, with this addition, that he nar rowly escaped being drowned. This " carried on" for some time, until a couple of gentlemen who had been formerly " done" happened to pass the way, and hearing the cry of " wolf," saw the boy and gave him into custody. He was remanded, preparatory to being sent to a reformatory, where no doubt his ingenuity and inventive faculties will be turned to such good account, as may be the means of . turning him out on the worll a useful member of society. BEFORE MR. CROPPER UNFOUNDED CIIAItGE.--7 - s:ni ' rantisco Toniaso, the Spanish interpreter. was charged by a p-rson named Henry Hines, who said he was a watchmaker, with having obtained 105. from him under false pretences. Mr. Goodere said be was " instructed" to appear for the prosecution. The complainantsaid on Friday night fortnight I met the Signor in the "George and Dragon " public house in Renshaw Street. We were tossing for' glasses when the defendant said he had no mare money, but that he had a magistrates order for 30s. for the payment of interpreting in some cases. He produced it, and I lent him 10., on it, but it turned out rn be of no use (the order was pro duced), Signor Tomaso said the charge was very false, and the complainant had made it all out of spite. He was at the public house in question, when the complainant chat• lenged him to toss for glasses. They tossed, and he (Signor T.) lost, and paid. The complainant challenged him again, but he said he had no more money, but that he had a receipt of his own, f r 305., which be was going to receive the money for. It was stamped (the receipt produced) and written by him in Spanish, and signed by himself. He was going to get the amount from the person who owed it to him, and he said if the complainant lent him half a sove reign on it, be would to's him for more glasses. The complainant did lend him the half sovereign, and he (Signor Tomaso) did not see him from that time on to the previous day, when he came up to him at George's Hall, and gave him into custody: Complainant—l offered to let you go if you paid me, when you snapped your fingers in my face, and said the paper was not worth a d—. and that yon did not care a fig for me. Signor Tomaso—Why, your Worship, I imagined he had received the 305., and that he was coming to give me the balance, but instead of that he gave me into custody on this false charge. The receipt is good for the 30s. this moment, as it is not yet paid, and any one presenting that receipt will get the money. Mr Wybergh (to the complainant)—You must have seen that this was not a magistrate's order for the payment of money, but a receipt signed by himself. Witness—He told me it was a magistrate's order. Mr. Wybergh—Did you know him before ? Yes And often met him? Yes. Then you must know this was was not the order of a magistrate. How could I know that, when I don't understand Spanish. Mr. Wybergh—You know his name ? Yes. Then you saw it signed here to this receipt, and you knew he was not a magistrate. Signor Tomaso—lt is all a false charge, and spite, because I would not assist him to tout for Mr. Goodere. Complainant—lt is not; I never touted for Mr Goodere. Signor Tomaso—You did ; I can bring plenty to prove it. Mr Goodere (to his worship)—The question is, sir, do you think 'there was a false pretence in the case ? His worship—l am sure there was not, and I therefore at once discharge him. There is no case whatever against him. He was then discharged, when he remarked that he had been so badly treated by the complainant that he would leave Liverpool. COUNTY COURT. 17" —_ESTERDAY. BEFORE J. POLLOCK, ESQ., THE JUDGE. JUDGEMENT.—WRIGHT V. DANTIC.—In this case, his Honour said—Since the day of hearing, the s'h instant, I have taken time to consider this case. It is an action brought by the owner of a fishing smack (the Prince of Wales) against the owners of a steam tug (Sampson) for damage done to the fishing smack in a collision, on the 8 h of Oct , off tha Prince's Pier. It appeared that, and I recollect well that I made a strong point of it at the time of the trial, the -sailing vessel had only exhibited a single light, and that light was held in the hands of one man. I have always thought, and I do now think, that in a port like this that great precaution should be taken by vessels in eemi eg up a river like this. It is quite clear that one light exhibited in such a way is not sufficient, even according to the rules of the river, or the rules laid dawn by the admiralitv ; and I shall insist in all cases that come before me of having boats coming up the river exhibiting a light, and that that light shall be a proper light, and permanently fixed to some portion of the rigging. I have availed myselfof the oppor tunity I have had of communicating with several nautical gentlemen, and they fully concur in the opinion I have formed on the point. I am disposed as far as I can to insist on the rules of the admiralty being carried out in sailing vessels, arid insist on having a permanent fixed light in such boats. It is absurd to think that a single light, held in a man's hand, at the time of danger, is sufficient. While holding that view with regard to sailing boats, I expect that the steam tugs will take the same precaution. In this case lam satisfied that the plaintiffs did not take the proper precaution, and exhibit a light in a conspicuous part of their vessel keand, therefore, are not entitled to rec)ver. I shall, therefore, give a verdict for the defendants. BUSINESS OF TAE COURT.—Wednesday, December 17th, 121 cases ; Thursday, the 18th, 120 cases ; Friday, 19th, 170 cases ; Tuesday, 30th, 121 cases ; Wednesday, 31st, 121 cases ; total for the present court, 660 cases. There will, also, be a court held for adjourned cases on the 22nd and the 23rd instant. FRAUD SUMMONS.—There were a great number of persons summoned for not complying with the firmer orders of the court, and, in some instances, the parties were ordered to be committed for imprisonment, unless they paid the amounts due. INSOLVENTS—Edward Johnson, late a pnbliean, of Waterloo road, supported by Mr. Fenwick, instructed by Mr. C inway, was ordered to come up for his final order on the 27th of January. John Edward Smith, a corn broker, was opposed by a creditor who had entrusted him to effect an insurance on some goods to go by an American vessel, which he did not do. His Honour severely animadverted upon the conduct of the insolvent, who had nearly been guilty of felony in fact—obtaining money of a friend, and appropriating it to his own use. He had been guilty of a double act of fraud, and he would mark the opinion he felt of such a contemptible transaction by ordering him to be imprisoned for nine months from the date of his vesting order. Isabella Wallace, the keeper of a house of ill fame in Hotham street, Finch street, and other places of a similar description, was opposed by one or two creditors, and was supported by Mr Grocott. The final order was directed to be made in the March c•)urt, the insolvent to have protection during the time. Several other irsalveut cases having been disposed of, the court adjourned. LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT..--YESTSRDAT BEFORE MR. COMMISSIONER IN RE WiCrii:;i 7 .fieoN.—ln conformity with the decision of the Lords Justices the bankrupt again presented himself for examination, in order that he might par, and a day be fixed for the certiflca'e meeting. ' Mr. Lowndes appe,ared for the assignees, and Mr. John Yates, jun., for the bankrupt. His Honour said : The Lords Justices deem to have been of opinion that a question or questions were not properly put in the course of your examination, and that therefore you may have misapprehended such question or questioni, I therefore think it right now to 'call upon you to state yourself precisely what passed with reference to the mortgage transactions with Mr. Humphreys. After some objection from Mr. Yates, who urged that the examination should be taken by question and answer and not by narrative, the bankrupt proceeded with his statement. He said : I cannot say that I can give any further statement than I gave before. I was seeking to effect a mortgage, and I applied first to Mr. Rodick. Mr. Humphreys heard that I was seeking to effect a mortgage. and said he would let me have some money, £3,000. It was agreed upon, and Messrs. Francis and Almond were instructed to prepare a mortgage. They did draw one, and it was executed on the 14th April, 1856, and I then received four cheques, two of £l,OOO each, and two of £5OO each. It was then stated by Mr. Almond_er Mr. Ilumphre. , s that if I would bring the two large cheques I could have the cash to-morrow. I think I went with the cheques the day following, or the day but one after, and I received 1:1,000 from, I think, Mr. Francis, and the day following I Ti cei ved another £l,OOO from Mr. Almond for another cheque. One of the £5OO cheques I paid into the Borotigh Bank, the other I got discounted at Barnva's I took the first £l,OOO to 341 r. Humphreys—l think the same day I received it, to lay against the bills that were running ; another £lOOO I took in a few days, or in the course of the same week, also .to Mr. Humphreys, for the same purpose as before. The first £lOOO I took was the same money I received from Messrs. Francis and Almond, but I cannot say whether the second £lOOO was so or not, because I had it a longer time in my hands To Mr. Lowndes : The property was the property of Bromborough, and was subject already to another mortgage for £3OOO to Mr. Rodrick. I did not obtain any valuation myself, nor do 1 knaw that 'Mr. Humphreys obtained one. I had toll Mr. Humphreys what it had been valued at before by Mr. G. e —that is, £4OOO to £5OOO, and what I had ex v ended upon it, having built another house at a cost of several hundred pounds, and that I considered it of much greater value. I believe Mi. Humphreys saw Mr. Gee about it. I believe Mr. Humphreys told me so. Mr. Lowndes : Mr. Gres only makes it £4200 even now. To the Court : That is the best account I can give of that transaction, and it is a tree account. I have nothing to add to my balance sheet. This account of this transaction was in substance the same as that given by the bankrupt in his previous examinaaons bef,..rd the court. Mr. Yates : I may here state that Mr. Lowndes himself is aware that a very satisfa.tory explanatio❑ could he given, though not perhaps in cour., of the reasons why this £3OOO was so generotisly lent to the bankrupt. His Honour—l suppose, then, that after the recent decis:cn of the Lords Justices the bankrupt must pass. Tho last examination wan then passed, and the 13th January fired for the certificate meeting. CLEVER CAPTURE OF THREE SWELLS IN LIVERPOOL. On Monday evening, detectives Patrick and Eaton made a capture of three "great swells" in town, and no doubt the arrest and the discovery consequent thereon, will lead to interesting results. It appears that for the past week, complaints were frequent of robberies from the persons of ladies and gentlemen in busses, and several churches in town, and the police were therefore on the alert, as they suspected some " new hands" had visited the northern metropolis, and probably intended spending the Christmas here, and patronising, to a considerable extent, the inhabitants of " Modern Tyre." I The ofileers were not leng before they got on a trail, and this they improved considerably by vigilant atten tion. They found that three persons (two females and a man) had recently arrived here, and had taken rather expensive and elegant lodgings at 19, Clarence street. On Monday the officers having all their plans matured, got into an Old Swan 'bus, where they saw two females upon whom they fixed their serious attention. These they subsequently arrested, as well as the man, and yesterday they were brought up before Mr. Cropper at the police court, when the following facts were given in evidence :—The names given by the prisoners are John Rivers, described as a "railway surveyor;" Martha Lawler, alias Rivets, and Charlotte Qualle. The pri soners were dressed very fashionably, and Rivers and Lawler are young, Quail° being rather older. Officer Patrick said : About 10 o'clock yesterday morning I went with Eaton to the house, No. 19, Clarence street, as we had received information that the prisoners lodged there, and were suspected of being pickpockets and robbers We saw them leave the house, and proceed down Brownlow hill ; we followed them through Church and Lord streets. The women here separated from the man, who walked from five to ten yards behind them. He had this umbrella in his hand, and with it he used to point to the women, who frequently looked round. At 'windows, where there were ladies, they used to meet, and the man used to point to ladies, and the female pri soners used then to close on the ladies. The prisoners went up and down Lord street several times, and looked into several 'busses that passed. At last the two women went into a Palkner square 'bus, and the man went in after them, all went on to the square, the officers, being outside, watched them. They got out at the square, and went along Chatham street, and from that to Pembroke place, where they entered a public house. Mr. Bluck, who appeared for the prisoner, here interposed, and said he really must stop the respectable officer in his evidence. He wanted to know what the direct charge was ? Officer Patrick : That's what I am going to prove. Mr. Bluck : And, of course, that's what I don't want you to prove, for the benefit of my clients. Officer Patrick : I dare say, sir, you will not like to hear what we have to say against the prisoners. Mr. Bluck : The less you say for their sake, the better, I assure you. (Laughter.) Patrick : I must do my duty. He then went on to say—The prisoners then went into an auction I room. Magistrate : Where ? In Pembroke place, and from that to London road. We followed them to Elliott street, where the man went into a 'bus that was going to the Pierhead, and left the two women there. The two women then got into a 'bus that was going to the Old Swan, and we got up on it; we watched them through a hole in the top. There was a lady (sill() is present) got into the 'bus also, and I saw the prisoner Lawler put her hand under the lady's shawl, into her pocket. At the corner of Gildart street, and Anson street, the two female prisoners got out ; one went up Gildart street, and the other Anson street. I followed the prisoner Lawler up Anson street, and arrested her as she was going into a confectioner's shop, and Eaton went after the other, and arrested her. She gave her name as Quaile, and said that her husband was at sea, and that she lived in . Hunter street ; this, of course, was false. We then went to 19, Clarence street, and arrested the male prisoner, where we found the table laid for dinner. I got several boxes in his room, and a vast quantity of wearing apparel, all new and costly, and consisting of all sorts of clothes. In one of his boxes I found ten five ' pound notes, and now Eaton will tell you the rest. Mr. Bluck : And if he tells us more than you have told us, be will be a clever officer. Patrick : you think he will, then. Mr. Black : I hope not. Now, was £5O too much money for a man going to America to have in his possession ? Well, I know people go to America with a good deal less money. They were new notes ?- Yes. Such as might be just had out of the bank in payment for a bank post bill ? Yes, but they might be had for other than a bank post bill. Mr. Bluck : Well, this is not the business, but where is the lady who lost her purse in the 'bus ? She is here, sir. Did you see either of the prisoners take anything from the lady ? No, I could not, if I had I would have caught them at once ; I only saw Lawler put her hand into the lady's pocket. I got 9s 2d, on my prisoner. Was the man (prisoner) there at the time ? No, I told you already he was not, as he had gone into a Pierhead 'bus. This statement was fully corroborated by detective officer Eaton, who ' added as follows :—I got these keys on the man, and I found several portmanteaus and boxes in the place, and these keys opened them. I found this gold watch and chain, value thirty guineas, in a pair of socks in one of the boxes, and £4 14s 8d in the same box. The prisoner said the watch was a present from a brother of his in America. In another box I got this silver watch and gold chain, and a valuable gold pin, a pair of gold spectacles, and £57 in gold, and 19s. sd. Mr. Bluck and you took him away before he had his dinner? Yes we did. Mr Block—Oh, cruel detectives. Detective Horne, and Carlyle, with inspector Murphy, sere sworn, and all gave evidence of having watched the prisoners for some days past, at Railway stations, churches, and other places, and that they had seen them " feel " and " try " the pockets of several ladies and gentlemen, but get nothing, and therefore they did not arrest them, as they wished them to go on until they got a" ease " against tbem. Mrs. Seddons, a highly respectable lady, residing in Edge Lane was examined, and said she was robbed, the prisoners sat beside her in the 'bus, but in reply to Mr. muck, she would not swear that she lost her purse before or after she got into the 'bus, as she was at the market before going into the 'bus, and might have lost her purse there. Mr. Bluck—How much was in it ? I do not know, but I know there were several sovereigns and some silver. John Bierenstien. the person who owns the house, 19 Clarence Street, where the prisoners lodged, proved that the male prisoner took the lodg ings—they had a front parlour and two top bed rooms. The man said they had came from Dublin To Mr Bluck—They paid their rent. I gave informa tion to the police as I suspected them. Mr Wybergh— You acted very properly. Mr. Clough—So he did. Mr muck then made a long and able address for the pri. soners. He contended that there was no case made against the prisoners. If the police imagined that they had a case of suspicion against the prisoners, they should have arrested them before, but they wanted to make out a case against them. There was nothing found on the females, although the two female prisoners were at once arrested in the 'bus; indeed the lady could not tell whether she had the purse when entering the 'bus. The man, he said, was not out on the day in question, and so far as he was concerned, there was nothing against him. He said the parties were going to America, and the man had got a £5O bank post bill from his brother, and like a prudent man, he had changed it into small notes before going out. Be trusted under all the circumstances, the prisoners would be discharged. Mr. Cropper said the case was quite clear, and he could not help saying that the officers had done their duty with great zeal and ability, and were entitled to much credit. He would therefore remand the prisoners for seven days. DEATH OF MR. DAVID DYSON, THE NATURALIST.—We announce with deep regret the death of Mr. David Dyson, of Manchester, a well known naturalist, at the early age of thirty-three, which took place at one o'clock in the afternoon of Wednesday. at the residence of his brother, Woodbine cottage, Rusholme. ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT UN THE RIVER.—On Monday afternoon another accident, resulting in the lozs of two lives, occurred on the Thames, rear Bupby's Hole, Limehouse. Two youths, named Richard Callaghan and Charles Mor gan, having obtained possession of a skiff belonging to the collier Vtrecor, commenced rowing about for their amuse went, and disregarding the shouts made to them to bring back the boat, they pulled towards Rotherhithe, it is supposed, to land there, and in their efforts to escape the boat sent in pursuit of them, they rowed on to a tier of shipping. The boat instantly capsized, and the youths were plunged into the river, the current carried they] under the shipping, and both were drowned, their bodies not being recovered. The lads were of tespectable parents, residing in the Commercial Road. WEDNESDAY. ROYAL INSTITUTION SCHOOLS. The half yearly distribution of prizes among the pupils i of the Royal Institution schools, Colq iitt street, previous to breaking up for the Christmas holidays, took place at eleven o'clock yesterday, in the lecture hall of the institute. In the absence of Sir John Salusbury, president, the chair was occupied by Elias Arnaud, Esq, vice-president. The hall was densely crowded by the parents and friends of the pupils, and among the clergymen and gentlemen present were—The Lord Bishop of Chester. Dr, Anderson, bishop of Prince Rupert's Island, F. Shand, Esq, Mayor, Rev. Dr. M'Neile, Rev. Dr. Raffles, Rev. W. Knox, Birkenhead, , Rev. C. H. Barton, Rev. Mr. Denny, Rev. Mr. Carpenter, Rey. Mr. Warr, Mr. S. Holme, Mr, T. W. Ratbbone, Mr. J. A. Tinne, Mr. C. Bushell, Mr. R. Duckworth, &e. The Chairman said it was with great concern he had to announce that they should be deprived of the presence of their excellent chairman, Sir John Salusbury, who was unfortunately called to London on business of great importance. He the more regretted this because the loss of such a chairman at any time was irreparable, and especially so as they were again honoured with the pre sence of their excellent diocesan— (applause) —who had with much inconvenience to himself, and great sacrifice of time and trouble, once more afforded them his most valuable co-operation, and, therefore, they were most anxious that they should have a full attendance to receive him. For himself, he might say that their last annual meeting of pupils, in that hall, made a great impression upon him; for he felt more delight than he could express to hear them deliver themselves in Greek, Latin, German, French, English, and other languages with such fluency ; ant: he trusted in what they were about to bear there would be no retrogression. He never passed through the spacious halls and courts of Oxford but an anxious desire crossed his mind that our Liverpool youths should distinguish themselves there, as well as at the sister university of Cambridge ; and lie was glad to hear, on his last visit to Oxford; that, besides the usual exhibitions, more scholarships were about to be added for the encouragement of youths. But also to young gentlemen intended for commercial pursuits he would still more urge the value of diligence and perseverance in study and even in the course of practical life, he would recom mend to them strongly the advantage of being well grounded in the French and German languages ; for even in matterts of recreation and foreign travel, it doubled the enjoyment of a continental tour—such ae he had just been having in visiting Nismes and ranging under the mountains of Mount Blanc—to find they could do without an interpreter, and be able to be independent of them : so that whether they met the natives of the mountains or the towns, they could make themselves perfectly well understood. Therefore, let him recommend to all not to omit the present oppor tunity, or they would see cause to regret it in after life. The Right Rev. Prelate said he had very great pleasure in coming there that day again, and should always feel pleasure as long as their master and the president of the institution did him the honour to invite him. (Applause). Mr. Arnaud, who said a few kind words of we'come of him at the beginning, spoke as if it might be some inconvenience and some sacrifice of time for him to come there ; and he thought he even kindly said something as if he were doing honour to the school in coming. All that he had said in the kindness of his heart. Ile could not take those compliments to himself ; but he wished to say to them there was one person present there that day who did great honour to the school by coming amongst them, and who he was sure, could not come without a co ns id era bl e sacrifice of convenience and valuable time. He spoke of the Mayor of Liverpool. (Applause). He hoped it would ever be considered in Liverpool—whatever the meeting be that brings friends together—that there could not be a greater honour done to it than by the chief magistrate of the place appearing to give his countenance, more especially so long as that honour of the chief magistracy continues to be held by men like the pre sent Mayor of Liverpool, and like the gentlemen who had preceded him ever since he knew this place ; and whatever honour the inhabitants may have done in choosing him to that post, they had certainly, themselves, as Mayors of Liverpool, reflected honour back upon the persons by whom they were chosen. He had always loved to come there, when his engagements permitted him, OR these occasions ; but he felt a particular desire to come in the present in stance, because during the past half year he knew their excellent master bad been, by an unhappy accident, dis abled, and prevented taking that personal and active part in the management of the school which it was the delight of his heart to give. He was sure that must have been a great disappointment and great trial to his own feelings. Ile would venture to say that, whatever he might have snffered from the effects of that accident, tbc one thing which had worried him most was, that he was not at his post and as active in the school as before. It must have been a great disappointment to him, and must have been some di advantage to the school unavoidably; but he was very wiling to think not a very great disadvantage, for this reason, that he knew be had able masters to assist him. (Loud applause from the pupils.) He was glad to hear they all felt the truth of what be was saying there. He was quite sure they had all done not only their best, but more than ever before, if their best, and to supply the temporary absence of the master, had worked double tides rather than any slackness or inferiority should be experienced. (Applause.) He said this with the more confidence and pleasure on another account, because their master was a generous hearted man, and on every occasion when be had come there he bad always said, before he (the Bishop) entered the room, some little word to bespeak consideration for his assistant masters in the school, who had contributed to its success--(loud applause)—and a desire was expressed that they should have a due share of praise and credit in whatever honours and distinitions the boys had won. Now they were glad to see him out Again, and trusted he would soon be relieved of the effects of his accident, and be able to stand upon his feet, touch everything with his own hand, overlook everything with his own eye. and direct everything with his own voice ; and he might add to that his wish that his youthful friends might excuse if they did not fiud him so active as here_ tofore in any of their boyish sports. Perhaps he might think wisely now, and others would agree, that he might be a cheerful spectator of their amusements, and yet abstain from joining in them. When we got a little older, our ailments and bruises did not heal quite so rapidly as in youth. (Load applause from the boys) Mr. Dawson Turner ought to make his bow to them ter that, as it was a compliment to him and not to the speaker. He was very glad—before he gave the prizes, for he would not occupy their time with long speeches—he was very glad to see the names of former scholars of the school, who had done honour to it by distinctions in the uni versities. The first name was Byrth, who had obtained the Divinity Prize at Oxford ; and lie was told it not only was an honour in carrying off the prize in what was always a difficult competition, bat he was told the exer cise was one of superior merit, and considered far above the average. He was glad to hear that compliment paid by those competent to judge. He had not bad the ad vantage of reading it; but the master had promised to send him the book, that was the essay, and when it came, for many reasons, he should have great pleasure in reading it; and he was sure whatever gratification young Mr Byrth might have had in carrying off that prize, the greatest gratification to him would be to gladden the heart of his mother, living at New Brighton, respected by all who knew her, and by every one who knew her highly respected husband. IN ell, then, he saw the name of Mr: Rees. He recollected very well the last time he was there, and the time before for anything he knew ; bat once or twice he had occasion to speak of the distinctions which he had gained in the university of Cambridge in an examination for a degree in the first class of mathematical honours, very high up in it. He was also in the first class of classical honours ; and now he saw he had gained another distinction, a first class•honorary distinction among the theological can didates at Cambridge. He had therefore carried off the first class honours in every branch of study, mathematics. classics, and theology-s-oestainly last. but the greatest of all. He seemed also to have gained a Hulsean prize essay—that was a diviuity prize essay. All these were gratifying proofs that the scholars in this school were trained as well as they could be in any school to engage in the competition of either university, whether at Oxford or Cambridge. This was a proof ; a person engaging in competition in every line, and successful in every line of study. He did not say that because a boy was at a particular school he was necessarily fit for this competition. Something depended on natural gifts of genius ; a great deal depended upon those natural gifts with which it had pleased Providence they should be born into the world ; but those gifts would not do without a good training and education at the school. Therefore, when a young man carried off all those prizes at the univer sities, it was a proof in itself that not only be had those natural gifts of talent, but had had the advantage of being in a good school, and being well prepared, and able to match boys trained in any school, and under any system. For this reason he gave credit to the system, zeal, and diligence of the masters of this school ; for he looked upon this as a proof that what they turned out was as good work as any school in the kingdom. Then Mr. Glen had also taken first class mathematical honours'at Cambridge, and Mr. Pope had carried off prizes at e Trinity College, Dublin, a sister university which they were always glad to welcome, a kind of addition to the English universities, and which had turned out many distinguished persons, He had carried off the prize for Latin verse and Italian. Now, no doubt the competition there was what it was in the English universities—a very ardent thing, Having said -...4 this much, he must now see if he could not distribute the lon list of The following r g re - citations were then delivered by the f undermentioned n a d n i u r tr l ,e e i n n t c io e. n ed pupils. end elicited the hearty applause 0 Thoas, 1 Bushell, Ismene, i Retribution.

A BOARDING-SCHOOL INTERIOR' 4,00 A few days ago, at the Wandsworth Police Court , S°l rfis t Myers, a thin, wretchedly attired middle aged we l t an isrs ; was described as a schoolmistress, residin g at No. 2 u ar gee, 1 orough terrace, B:idge road West, Battersea. w as c— r with wilfully neglecting a child named Maria B aile e 11 years, who had been entrusted to her care, when' tbs life had been placed in imminent danger.
