TO CORRESPONDENTS A Correspondent suggests that Mr. Rathbone will require a dose of Blackburn's consolation balm after his defeat. 1 We think a bottle of Brown's American soothing syrup I would be equally acceptable. The " Stanzas inscribed to Mr. K—" are too irregular in • their construction to appear in their present shape. The first five lines are severally composed of 16, 11, 14, 12, and 9 syllables. The rhythm is also sadly defective. " Verses written in a Fancy Ball" are carelessly written. The imagery is frequently of the most original character. Take as instance—" old chivalric meteors"—and " warm necks of living snow." The writer is evidently capable of better things. " 0 P" suggests that the new lessee of the Theatre Royal should adopt the plan of half-price. We doubt its expe diency. Our fair correspondent " Julia" will certainly feel glad, on reflection, that we have not inserted her pathetic lines on " Inconstancy," especially as they are inscribed to the " faithless swain " by name.

According to the latest accounts from the East, a large force of the allies, consisting of between 10,000 and 12,000 men, were proceeding to attack Ibrahim Pacha in the interior of Syria. We may, therefore, daily expect the news of a decisive engagement between the belligerent powers, the result of which will pro bably be, the evacuation of Syria by the Egyptian _ . forces. It is true that the communications which have proceeded direct from the camp of Ibrahim would lead us to believe that his resources were far from being exhausted, and that he was so strongly entrenched by the natural defences of Syria, that the war would be a very protracted one, even under the most favourable circumstances that could fall to the lot of the allied powers. On these representations, however, we place but little reliance. St. Jean d'Acre, appears to be the most strongly fortified point in the possession of Ibra him Pacha. The operations for the reduction of this place do not appear to have been commenced at the date of the last despatches. The blockade of Alexan dria has been again postponed to the 21st instant. There is no other foreign news of any importante, if we may except the accounts which have reached us respecting the barbarous cruelties perpetrated by his dunceship, King Otho of Gree ce. This young N ero had better take care what he is doing, or he may be sent back to Bavaria. A correspondence has just been published in the Leeds Intelligencer, with the view of materially injuring the character, and detracting from the usefulness, of a society which has already been the instrument of effect ing incalculable good in various parts of the country : we mean the Pastoral Aid Society. As this society has conferred great benefits upon the town of Liver pool, by the appointment of several additional curates, and as the gentleman to whom the correspondence re lates is also a resident of the town, we feel constrained to beStow a few remarks upon the subject ; and the more especially so because the Pastoral Aid Society, while it contributes so largely in providing for the spi ritual destitution of Liverpool, derives, in return, such a very inadequate amount of support. During the past year this excellent society has bestowed upon the necessities of Liverpool between £5OO and £6OO, in seven grants made to as many churches ; whilst the whole return made for such grants, during the same time, has fallen short of £l5O. Whilst, therefore, an attempt is made, through the medium of the public press, to disparage the claims of this admirable asso ciation, by representing it as " obtaining support un der false pretences," we feel - bound, from motives of gratitude for what the society has done for Liverpool, to take up the gauntlet in its defence. The correspondence to which we refer has been pub lished by the Rev. John Clark, curate of Hunslet, and has relation to the appointment of Mr. Briarly Browne, a gentleman of this town, as assistant curate under the Pastoral Aid Society. Before we proceed to comment upon the correspondence itself, it may be here neces sary to premise that the Pastoral Aid Society, in the " Synopsis" of its regulations, states, that " when aid is sought and granted, the parochial minister must say how it is to be employed ; he must nominate the per sons to be employed; he must engage them, as well as superintend and entirely controul them. All that the society does is to provide for their remuneration, and, while so doing, to ask satisfactory proof of their qua lifications." We trust that we shall be able to show, in the sequel, that the society has strictly and consci entiously acted upon the principles thus set forth in the case before us. Mr. Clark acknowledges that " nothing could be fairer" than the regulations to which we have referred. He was perfectly aware that such were the conditions upon which the society granted its assistance. With this consciousness he proceeded to nominate Mr. Briarly Browne as an assistant curate of Hunslet, under the sanction of the incumbent. On his nomination, Mr. Browne's testi- monials, countersigned by the Bishop of Chester were forwarded to the secretary of the society. The ques tion here naturally occurs, were those testimonials " satisfactory" to the society, the society itself being, of course, the only proper judge of the matter ? Un less this was the case, the society could not, consistent ly with its own rules, grant any assistance. Let us see. One of the clergymen who signed Mr. Browne's tes timonials certifies that he "had known him for a con , siderable time, and that he believed his life and conver sation to be such as became a minister of the Gospel, and that his views and doctrines were in accordance with the articles and homilies of the church." Another clergyman states that "he had known Mr. Browne about five years," and that "he believed him to be a strictly conscientious man, and a devoted admirer and supporter of the ritual of the church," and that "he had no doubt but that he would exert himself diligently in any sphere of usefulness to which he might be ap pointed." A third clergyman expresses himself much to the same effect. He says that he " had every reason to believe that Mr. Browne would prove himself quali fied for the holy office he sought, having made it his study to become thoroughly acquainted with the doc trines and discipline of the church," and that " he thought Mr. Browne was fully alive to the responsibi lities of the ministry, and anxious to devote himself to the laborious duties .of the curacy" to which he might be appointed. We have extracted all the material points in these letters of recommendation. These tes timonials, at least the first and second, were counter signed by the Bishop of Chester,. who merely states that the parties signing them were " beneficed clergy in the diocese of Chester, and worthy of credit. Upon these testimonials the society had to decide Did they appear " satisfactory" to the committee ? The secretary of the society, Mr. Were, in acknow ledging their receipt, states that " Mr. Browne's testi monials were satisfactory as far as they went," but that " they were not sufficiently decided and explicit as to his christian character and qualifications." Fur ther evidence was therefore requested. Mr. Clark wished to be informed " what the society meant by christian character and qualifications ?" In making this request, however, he intimated that Mr. Browne's testimonials had been submitted to the bishop, and that a room had been hired for him to officiate in. The secretary of the society, in reply, very properly re marked, that Mr. Clark " had acted prematurely in presenting Mr. Browne's testimonials to the bishop, with a view of his being ordained on one of the society's grants, and in engaging a school-room." The propriety of this remark will be evident, when we consider that, in the first instance, the society ought to be satisfied as to the character and qualifications of the candidate. This preliminary was indispensable, in order that the regulations of the society might be strictly com plied with. The society, in explanation, wished to be satisfied that Mr. Browne was " a spiritually-minded and devoted man ; one who would preach faithfully and fully the truths of the gospel, and give himself up to the duties of the ministry." On these points—all important as they must be considered—the testimo nials were almost silent. Indeed, what is stated in them, with respect to Mr. Browne, might be said of any man of outwardly moral conduct, ordinary talents, and who might possess a desire to exercise the functions of the Christian ministry. The Pastoral Aid Society requires more than this vague and indefinite sort of testimony. It requires to be assured that the candi dates submitted to its notice are, as far as human judgment is cognisant of the matter, converted cha racters, anxious to become instrumental in the conver sion of others, and that with a single eye to the glory of God. Nothing short of this, with the superaddition of the requisite degree of general learning, ought to satisfy the Pastoral Aid Society or any other society similarly constituted. Mr. Clarke's reply to the letter in which this explana tion was offered is a cornpletepetitioprincipii. He takes it for granted that " if the testimonials were satisfac tory to the Bishop, they must be so to the society, as the society could have no intention to insult his lordship." A more complete case of begging the question we never met with. It is notorious that some bishops are easily satisfied as to the qualifications of candidates for the ministerial office, or we should not so frequentlyhear of card-playing,ball-room frequenting, and sporting clergymen, not to mention other charac ters of a worse description. We are bound to speak our minds plainly on this question, because the matter at issue most deeply affects the vital interests of the church. Unless Mr. Clark can prove that all the Bishops of the Church of England, including the re_ cent Whig creations, (we mean no disrespect to the Bishop of Ripon, whom we believe to be a pious and devoted prelate,) are men who themselves " preach fully and faithfully the great truths of the gospel," he has no right to assume that the previous episcopal sanction given to the testimonials of a candidate ought to satisfy the Pastoral Aid Society. But, as Mr. Clark imagined, to remove all doubts on the subject, he forwarded to the society Mr. Browne's own assurance as to his " Christian character and qualifications." This is contained in the following letter, which we quote at length, in order to complete our vindication of the course pursued by the Pastoral Aid Society : 3, Portlancl.place, Everton, near Liverpool, 20th October, 1840. My dear Sir,—l this morning was favoured with your let ter of yesterday, and in reply, beg to state that I am truly surprised that any society, especially one which assumes to itself the character of a church association, should believe that any man is capable of diving into the inward thoughts of my soul, and thus constituting himself " a discerner of spirits." Were Ito obtain such a testimonial as you think the society will require, what would it amount to after all? Why just to this—that as far as the writer thereof knew, I was a spiritually-minded and devoted man. Now how is it possible for any man to assert this with truth, excepting in as far as he can judge of my frame of mind by my outward actions ? And to these I think the testimonials which have been already forwarded to the Pastoral Aid Society bear am ple testimony. If I did not conceive that I were inwardly moved by the Holy Ghost so to do, I should consider that I was committing an actual sin by applying to be admitted to holy orders. I trust that, as far as I know my own heart, I am spiritually-minded—at any rate I endeavour to live under the influences of that blessed Spirit, who, at my baptism, took up his abode within me. As to my devotedness, I can sin cerely say that I am prepared to spend and be spent in the ser vice of the church, which I believe to be the kingdom of God upon earth, and into which it shall be my constant endeavour to bring all those who have strayed from the true fold of Christ Jesus the Lord. It is my determination to preach not only the great truths of the gospel, but the whole truth as it is in Jesus ' • and, whilst I shall make it my study to set forth in all its fullness the atoning sacrifice of Christ, I shall not fail to impress upon my hearers the observance of the divine ad monition—" If ye love me keep my commandments." I shall make it my constant care to instil into the minds of my con gregation the awful nature of the sin of schism, to show them the evil which they contract by not avoiding those " which cause divisions among them," and to lay before them the great benefits attending a worthy receiving of the holy sacra ments, which they neither do nor can participate in when in a state of separation from the church. To you, as a minister of God, I have no objection to make this confession, though I might refuse to do so to a Lay So ciety. I shall be glad if you will let me know the result of this matter as soon as you conveniently can. And I am, my dear sir, yours ever faithfully, T. BRIARLY BROWNE. Rev. John Clark. Now, 'three things are very evident in the preceding letter ; first, that the writer does not display much of that meekness which is one of the leading features in the Christian character ; secondly, that he despises the very society by whose assistance he expected to be or dained : and, thirdly, that he is a thorough going Puseyite. Yes ! we feel justified in using the term in reference to any one who denies salvation to all who are not within the pale of the church—meaning, there by, as the Puseyites do, the Church of Rome or the Church of England. After the receipt of the preceding letter we are not in the slightest degree surprised that the society directed the following answer to be addressed to Mr. Clarke : Temple Chambers, Falcon-court, Fleet-street, - Nov. 9, 1840. _ _ Rev. Sir,—ln reply to your communication of the 7th in stant, I beg to state that, agreeably to your request, I have enclosed to you Mr. Brown's letter and testimonials. With respect to the last part of your communication, in which you not very courteously accuse the society of " obtaining sup port under false pretences," and announce your intention of publishing the correspondence which has taken place on the subject of Mr. Brown's nomination—l have only to observe that the society is quite prepared to maintain its principles and practice, should it deem it necessary to do so. I must request that you will have the candour to publish, along with the other letter, Mr. Browne's communication, which came before the members of the clerical committee in the form of a testimonial, and which had the effect very mate rially of deciding the judgment of those members. In the very first sentence of that letter there is evidently a sneer at the character of the society. For what else could Mr. Browne mean, by talking of the society as one " which as sumed to itself the character of a Church Association ?" Could any one ' after such an expression of Mr. Browne's real sentiments, be so simple as to imagine that the friends of the society would sanction the appointment of a gentleman who evidently despised it ? If, then, there were no other reason for refusing to confirm Mr. Brown's nomination, is not this, I would ask, amply sufficient ? Allow me to say, moreover, that this fact more than justifies us in not acqui escing at once in the appointment of the gentleman in ques tion, and in requiring further evidence as to his character and qualifications. If we had not done so, we should not have had the oppor tunity of perusing his letter, in which he expresses his con temptuous feelings towards the society, which he does no. cruple, in another part of the letter, to stigmatise as " a Lay Society." With what consistency Mr. Browne or yourself could apply for aid to such a society, I leave you to deter mine; and only reqUesting that you will publish this letter with the rest of the correspondence, I remain, reverend sir, yours faithfully, ELLIS B. WERE, Sec. Ch. P. A. S. No orthodox member of the Church of England can do otherwise than commend the Pastoral Aid Society for the course which it has taken in the matter. When we use the term "orthodox" we, of course exclude the Puseyite heresiarchs, whose doctrines are diame trically opposed to the sound, evangelical articles and homilies, and other formularies of the Church of Eng land. Mr. Browne's letter is an eminent proof of the extreme caution necessary before the Pastoral Aid Society can extend its grants. As to the sneers of Mr. Clark respecting the Pas toral Aid Society, we feel assured they will do no harm. The charge of " obtaining support under false pre tences" we have proved to be absurd. The society only acted in strict accordance with its own regula- tions, and as long as it continues to do so it will meet with that support from every true lover of the Churcl of England, which its character deserves and its use• fulness demands. Long may it continue to be the in• ,rument of carrying the glad tidings of the gospel intc the " dark places" which, even in these days of christian effort, still too frequently abound in this country. The contest in North Toxteth Ward has resulted in the return of Alexander Smith, Esq., the conservative candidate, and in the contumelious rejection of William Rathbone, Esq., the unitarian enemy of the church, and the bitter adversary of scriptural education ! Twice have the electors of Liverpool evinced their marked disapprobation of this irascible gentleman's politics and principles. Will he ever again have the hardihood to show his face on the hustings, to claim the suffrages of his fellow-townsmen ? ANTe trove not. We question whether he can ever again summon a sufficient degree of moral courage to pass through another such ordeal as those which have proved. like gall and wormwood to him during the present month. Will the " tyrant majority" in the Town Council (which, by the bye, is becoming " less by degrees and beautifully small"), have the temerity, or, rather; we should say, the auda city, to pitchfork him into one of the aldermanic chairs? We guess not. Little as the faction care about " pub lic opinion" and " the voice of the constituency," we do not think that they will have the presumption to offer such a deliberate insult to the electors of Liver pool. Such a daring outrage would only tend to con summate still more speedily the rapidly approaching downfal of the self.styled liberals. Already they have rendered themselves obnoxious enough, in all con science, to the constituency. Already have they sick ened the town by their nauseating twaddle. The disgust which is felt at their selfish and tyrannical pro ceedings has already become all but universal. Let them not, therefore, venture upon a step which will cause them to stink still more in the nostrils of the public. The contest yesterday was one of the severest that Liverpool has witnessed for some time. The Conser vatives were strong in the consciousness of having a good and noble cause to struggle for, and doubly powerful in the affections and sympathy of a large majority of the inhabitants of North Toxteth. The Radicals were also strong in the appliances of bribery, intimidation, and disgraceful trickery. They were strong also in the influence which was brought to bear upon the election. The struggle was, therefore, severe; but honesty and principle have achieved a noble tri umph over hypocrisy and delusion. Another knell has been rung over the departing spirit of Radicalism as it wings its flight to the shades of oblivion. During the earlier part of the day Mr. Rathbone maintained his lead over Mr. Smith ; but as the hour for closing the poll approached, it became evident that the Radical recruits were nearly exhausted, and at four o'clock Mr. Smith was in a majority of three, the 259 numbers being— For Alexander Smith, Esq... For W. Rathbone, Esq. The Angel-clique did not calculate upon such an untoward result. This is evident from the pertinacity with which the Radical committee clung to the fond hope that there was a majority for Mr. Rathbone. On the strength of this persuasion, that officious personage Mr. Paintpot Atkinson announced to the gaping strag glers in front of the committee-room that IN Ir. Rath bone was returned by the glorious majority of one ! Great was the joy of the "unwashed" at this result, and loud were the Io "'mans with which the com mittee-room rung. Mr. Rathbone and his friends were in extacies. But, alas ! the cup of bliss was soon destined to be dashed from his lips. On proceeding to the Town-hall, Mr. Rathbone's exultation knew no bounds. But when, after arriving there, the voting papers were deliberately counted up, and it was ascer tained that there was a majority of three for Mr. Smith, oh ! what a change came over the dreams of the twice rejected ! Confounded, disconcerted, and humbled, he walked away like a sulky cur with his tail between his legs. We congratulate the electors of North Toxteth upon the spirited manner in which they have manifested their determination to emancipate the ward from radical thraldom. May their neighbours of South Toxteth benefit by the noble example which they have shown. We congratulate the town of Liverpool on the acces sion of strength which the conservative phalanx in the Town Council have obtained. There are now 28 con servative councillors opposed to 20 radical councillors, and 16 pitchforked aldermen. Next year we must ;lave a conservative mayor. If that obstinate and tyrannical local faction, which styles itself, par excellence, the liberal party of Liver pool, had been actuated, in urging forward their pet scheme of dock warehouses, by motives purely and disinterestedly honest ; if its members had really had in view what they professed—the permanent interest of this great trading community—they must have per ceived, in the opposition which that scheme met with during the last session of parliament, the manifestation of great approaching danger to the future prosperity of the port. Already the concession of the privilege of bonding to the large inland towns had been threat ened by government. The town of Liverpool, we were told, was to be no longer the great depot for the foreign produce consumed in Manchester and the manufactur ing districts a►ound. But it was reserved for the com mittee upon the dock bills, in the last session of par liament, to menace us with the recognition of a prin ciple, the carrying of which into practice would at once strike at the root of our commercial supremacy in Western England, and eventually drive back this now flourishing port towards that obscurity from which the privileges which it has hitherto enjoyed have so mainly contributed to raise it We need scarcely inform our. Liverpool readers, tha, what we have ever regarded as the great source of the prosperity which we now enjoy, is the power which our dock trustees possess of levying tolls upon all ves• sels trading within the estuary of the river Mersey That power—that monopoly, call it if you hot-headed pursuit of a favourite object, our enlightene, and liberal local rulers allowed to be infringed upon, by the concessions which they yielded up last session to the Harrington and Herculaneum Dock Companies. The principle was thus established that the Dock Trus tees of Liverpool were no longer to be the sovereign masters of the waters of the Mersey; and prudent men, one would imalgine, would have paused before venturing to tempt fi irther encroachments, by persist ing in the pursuit of an object, the mere attempt to attain which had already been attended with so weighty a sacrifice. But prudence, wisdom, or a regard for the real in terests of their fellow -townsmen are not the attributes which distinguish the tyrant majority of our liberal council. A political object was sought by the pro moters of the Dock Warehouse bill ; and when a poli tical object is to be attained—when a dirty and dis reputable jobis to be perpetrated—your thorough-going liberal is seldom particular in his choice of weapons, and, kss seldom still, looks beyond immediate results. Again, therefore, the same bill is to be struggled for. In defiance of the adverse opinion of the public—w a bare majority in its favour, within the council teeth of all danger to the existing privileges of the po the note of preparation fora new parliamentary strug gle has been sounded ; and we now ask our readers ti examine, calmly and coolly—apart from all considera tions of mere party intere st-what must be the inevi table result. When the Dock bill went into committee ast session t had to encounter merely the opposition of the Ware house owners, backed, it is true, by a strong feeling known to exist against the scheme amongst an influ ential portion of the people of Liverpool. But in the approaching session it will be found that a more serious opposing aspect will present itself. The parlia mentary notice of the Dock Solicitor, will be found in our advertising columns; and the same medium will show at what a fearful price the object sought will have to be purchased. Encouraged by the fatal con cessions of last session, the trustees of the Bridgewater Estate claim an exemption from Liverpool Dock dues for the rising port of Runcorn ; the legal agent of the Harrington Dock, at the south end of the town, seizes the opportunity to amend his act of last session, and extort further powers and privileges, and the proprie tors of the Cheshire Strand, at the same time, claim the right of erecting there new docks, which shall likewise be free from the charges hitherto levied, for the support of the docks of Liverpool, upon all vessels loading or unloading within the mouth of the River Mersey Here, then, we have openly and distinctly placed before us the concessions to which we must submit before we shall be permitted to obtain the fulfilment of the pet scheme of our liberal corporation. If the Dock Warehouse Bill passes in the ensuing session of parliament, it must carry upon its face clauses utterly and for ever subversive of those exclusive privileges, by the enjoyment of which our present splendid docks have been erected and supported. The corporate body of Liverpool may bid adieu to the hope of any further improvement in their dock estate, and prepare to wit ness the diversion of a great portion of the coasting trade of the port, into the various new, and compara tively inexpensive, docks which will spring up in the course of time on both sides of the river. That an aggression of so threatening a character — so fatal to the future prosperity of the port, and so subversive of existing interests— should be lightly tempted by a body professing to represent the interests of their fellow-townsmen might well excite surprise. Yet it is tempted wantonly and wilfully ; and not only is it tempted, but we cannot see that it is opposed. A body of patriotic and loyal men would, we are per suaded, at once throw overboard a scheme, however ardently cherished, the agitation of which was calcu lated to encourage interests so completely hostile to those of their fellow-townsmen at large ; but the scheming clique of Radicals and Jobbers, who have originated this measure, have no such loyal and pa triotic feelings. Their pet project is still pressed for ward ; and we have no hesitation in affirming, that to promote its success they will not only fraternize with the aggressors upon the privileges of the port, but readily and eagerly accept their object, although, en grafted upon the bill which secures it, are clauses which will eventually reduce this once flourishing town to the condition of Tyre and Sidon of old—the condition of a depopulated and deserted city upon the waters. We cannot afford space at present to do more than call the attention of our fellow townsmen to this impor tant subject. Of the Dock Warehouse Bill we have frequently expressed our opinion but the question is no longer now of the merits of that bill. The question has now become one of more vital import. To the creditors of the Dock Estate it involves the very ex istence of the security upon which they have advanced their mouey ; and to the owners of property within the existing port of Liverpool the stability and future value of that property. On an early occasion we shall enter into the details of the subject; and in the meantime we call the serious attention of the public to the few .emarks we have advanced. LOCAL NEWS BLun COAT HOSPITAL.—The annual sermon in behalf of ,his institution was preached in St. Peter's Church on Sun lay last, by the Rev. Rector Brooks, when a collection was nade, amounting to £34, including £lO from Thos. Bolton, Esq., mayor „tIBBLE NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENT. —A large and hand some vessel, called the Albion, came into this port by Thurs day evening's tide. She is from Quebec, laden with wheat and flour, and belongs to Messrs. Humber, merchants, of this town. She draws ten feet of water, and is registered at 120 tons, but, we believe, freights upwards of 150 tons, and is fully as large again as any vessel that has ever yet reached the New Quay, at Preston.—Preston Chronicle. THE WOUNDED POLICE-OFFICERS.—We are happy to learn that the two policemen, who were so severely wounded in the attempt to apprehend the housebreakers in Laurel street, as we mentioned last week, are fast recovering, and are now considered to be quite out of danger. On riday they were able to sit up to dinner, and to receive the visits of some of their friends. They are still, however, inmates of the Infirmary. STEALING APPAREL. — Mary Killbride was charged before Mr. Rushton, on Tuesday, with having been concerned in stealing a quantity of clothes from Mrs. E. Copeland. Mrs. Copeland stated that she kept a public-house in Pembroke place. About three o'clock on Monday afternoon she had a quantity of wearing-apparel in a tub in her yard, which she missed about seven o'clock in the evening. She gave in formation to the police. Yesterday morning Police-officer Lynch found the greater part of the clothes at the residence of the prisoner in Lace-street. The prisoner, who laid all the blame on her husband for having left her destitute, was committed for trial. WIGAN CORPORATION. — The members of the Wigan town-council, with their friends, assembled on Sunday morn ing last, to partake of the mayor's breakfast, at the Eagle Inn ; after doing justice to which, they proceeded in proces sion to the parish church, amid hundreds of spectators, not forgetting, of course, to carry the insignia of the corporation, hich had not been honoured with a visit thither since the passing of the municipal act. On this, as on former occa sions, two sermons were preached ; that in the morning by the Rev. H. J. Gunning, rector, and the other in the even ing by the Rev. T. Birch, one of the curates, and a collec tion was made after each sermon, amounting together to about £63. ESCAPE OF THREE PRISONERS FROM WIGAN GAOL. — On Friday evening last, about five o'clock, three men, nam ed respectively Jackson, Jervise, and Rhind, who had that day been committed to Kirkdale, to take their trial at the next Wigan borough sessions, on a charge of felony, made their escape from prison in the following manner :—ltiwas found that the prisoners had torn up a Hag in the cell where they were placed, and thence descended into a cellar under it, which was used for a lumber room, and then opened the cellar door, as they could easily do, which leads into the pri son yard, from where they would be able to make their exit with the greatest possible ease and safety. Surely the Wigan authorities will some time be convinced of the necesity of providing better security and accommodation for their pri soners. CHEAP AND QUICK TRAVELLING. —Now-a-days in crossing the Atlantic, which is 3,000 miles broad at one place, and 2,500 at another, we can eat dinner at New York, on the ocean, and in London or Paris, on three consecutive Sundays, and have a day or two to spare here and there with perfect ease. No less than seven steam ships and 47 packets now run between New York and Boston, and England and France. They depart hither and thither every week, and in a few years perhaps they will dot the Atlantic as thickly as the tabernacle is dotted with whites and blacks at an abo _ lition meeting. But this en passant. Travelling never was so cheap as now. In the packet ships a passenger can go iu the cabin for 100 dollars, even in Collins's famous ships "the prettiest models and fastest sailers in the world." To go in the steam ships, however, he must pay twenty dollars more. Some prefer one—some the other. There is no want of ac commodation now. Those who like to steam it have an opportunity to satisfy their propensity in that line ; and those who like to blow it can satisfy theirs too by going in one of " the prettiest models and fastest sailers in the world.', — New York Herold. REVIVAL OF ST. HELEN'S FAlR.—After a period of some forty-five years cessation, a horse and horned cattle fair took placein the prosperous and much-increasing town of St. Helen's, on Saturday. The weather proved extremely unfavourable, rain pouring in torrents during the greater part of the day; but, notwithstanding that great disadvan tage, the attendance of both buyers and sellers, and the ex hibition of live stock of every description, far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the promoters of the fair. There was a large show of both carts and nag-horses ; the cart-horses, generally speaking, were excellent. In cattle and pigs considerable business was transacted at good prices. The judges appointed to award the prizes offered for the best stock were for cattle, Mr. Almond, of Standish, and Mr. Scotson, of Croxteth ; for horses, Mr. Woods, veterinary surgeon, of Wigan, and Mr. Scotson. After the business of the fair, between one and two hundred of the inhabitants of the town, and the leading farmers and cattle dealers dined together in the large room of the Fleece Inn. Unfortunately the company in number exceeded that for which accommo dation had been provided, and the consequence was, several gentlemen had to take their meal down stairs. No doubt, next year much better arrangements will be made. Peter Greenall, Esq., took the chair, and Frederick Fincham, Esq. , of the Ravenhead glass works, and Lee Watson, Esq., acted as vice-presidents. OBTAINING BREAD UNDER FALSE PRETENCES. -- Mary Scarisbrick, a pretty and interesting looking girl , aged about twenty years, was placed before Mr. Rushton, on Tuesday, charged with having obtained certain loaves of bread under pretence that they were for parties with whom she had lived as servant. Richard Phillips, son of Thomas Phillips, baker, 107, Copperas-hill, stated that on the 7th Novemder inst., he had charge of a shop which his father occupies in St. John's Market, when the prisoner came in and said she wanted a loaf for Miss Podmore. As he knew that Miss P. dealt with his father, he delivered the prisoner a loaf the valueof two shillings. On the 9th instant the pris oner went again to the shop, and asked again for a loaf for Miss Podmore. in He again gave her a two shilling loaf. Sh e went a similar manner on the 10th and 12th, and each time obtained a two shilling loaf. On Saturday, the 14th, she went into the shop, when Mr. Phillips and his son were bot h p resent, and asked the elder Mr. Phillips for three loaves for Mrs. Worsey. The son asked if they were for Mrs. Worsey or Miss Pod more. She replied for Mrs. Worsey. Mr. Phillips gave her three loaves, which amounted to four shillings, which she took away with her. About one o' c lock the same day, Mrs. Worsey called to pay her bill, when it was discovered she had not sent the prisoner for any bread. About six o'clock on Monday night last, the prisoner called at the shop again, and said, want a loaf for Miss,Podmore. Mr. Phillips jun:, who was in the shop, gave her a loaf and said, I wish to see . if this loaf is right. He sent a police-officer with her, who dis covered that Miss Podmore had not sent for an y bread. T he prisoner had lived in the service of Mrs. Worsey and Miss Podmore, and knew that they purchased their bread from Phillips. The prisoner in her defence said she had obtained the bread to keep her from starving. It appeared that she has a father in Liverpool, who is a respectable man. She No . B committed for trial. Mr. Rushton said he would take bail in a low amount for her appearance at the sessions.
