TO THE BURGESSES OF PITT-STREET WARD Permit me again earnestly to address you with a few remarks bearing upon those principles that should govern high-souled men in the exercise of their franchise - , and which, I hope, nay have some little effect in inducing, not only you, but also your future representatives in the Council, fearlessly to unfurl aloft the standard of independence ; in fact, to break up those cliques, those bar-parlour deter minations, and those shameless derelictions from integrity of purpose, which have disgraced, and continue to disgrace, the nominees, not of Wards, but of secret and self-interested cabals. " Those who sow the wind, shall reap the whirl wind ;" those who suffer corrupt motives to influ ence them, shall justly reap contempt. The trite ness of the European adage, borne out by a concordance of historical - facts, that " Paris is France," is fully acknowledged. Let the Parisian canaille want bread, and they quickly dethrone and behead a Louis the XVI. Shrinking ; horrified from the guillotine, the demon raised by their own incantations, and their demagogues' sole law, in the avalanche of their terror and rage, the first Napoleon is heaved up. Gifted with a mind of almost universal greatness, and, like the warlike monk, Richelieu, embodying into a fixed idea the Glory of France, he still lives the idol of their affections, although in his birth and death he was an alien to their soil. Another age fleets away, and its vitality quickens a new generation into life, and again the same episode is repeated. The destiny of monarchs is seen to hang upon as frail a thread as the sword suspended over the head of the crouching Damocles. This unit amongst numbers—this city of an empire will exalt no deity but he who reflects the symbol of their principle. Contented with a shadow, Frenchmen can cheerfully see their rights of freedom trampled in the dust—their patriots exiles in distant lands—a mortal's will their sole law—and a venal press completing the sum of their degradation. Happily, such is not the case in England. .In this comparatively favoured land, the metropolis no more rules the destiny of the country than the Prime Minister the Cabinet, or the Cabinet the House of Commons. Whence owe we this liberty ? I answer—mainly to the honest exercise of the elective power of the people. - - - Slrall • we fall back upon history, and trace its progress onwards ? Shall we see how a series of oppressions, ending in the illegal taxation of ship money, and resisted to the death by a gallant and resolved House of Commons, freed England, at a blow, from Charles I. and the . terrors of absolu tism? But why recount facts of history already patent to all reflective minds ? Why trace the down fall of state-pensioners and hereditary law-givers, and their bill of claims, dishonoured by the people ? Why speak of the noble minds, imbued with talent, energy, and fearless rectitude of purpose, daily recruited from their ranks ? Such men were those, at first a small unheeded band, but gathering force as they proceeded, from the goodness of their cause and the grandeur of the truths they proclaimed, who carried, against the most selfish of oppositions, the repeal of the corn laws of Great Britain. These changes, wonderful in their effects, and beautiful in their nature, have been brought about by the intelligence of the people, and by the use, not the abuse, of their franchise.- But if great truths and principleS are not only enunciated, but also carried into operation, it is be cause men of iron energy and determined will, seize upon them and wield them like . a flail, to rouse, up the lazy apathy and self-prostration of the masses. Through the Press, and on the rostrum, do they appeal unremittingly for their sympathy and sup port—endeavouring to educate them not only to know, but to maintain, the rights so hardly won for them. Their preaching has caused close boroughs, corporate jobbery, sinecures, and place-men, to stink in the nostrils of the people Acknowledg ing these to be home-truths, why do we suffer them to exist ? Why not strike a blow for principle ? Why suffer longff, small coteries to thrust upon us their own creatures to be our representatives in the council-chamber—endeavouring, by subterfuge, artifice, and private flattery, to place them in a ..11 ..*lt V V ...11Jvhadl..1, V Lad only blazon their shame ? It is for the Electors to :decide whether this system shall longer con tinue ; for it is in their power to render a council membership truly a post of honour and dignity. Therefore, I call upon the burgesses of Pitt-street Ward, to show an example to Liverpool, by the re cord of their votes on Tuesday, ignoring anything but constitutional principle.. Two addresses are before them, and also two candidates. Let them then, without fear, prejudice, or favour, exercise the power of suffrage in favour of the best and most able man. If Mr. Jeffreys possesses the business talent, the eloquence, or the energy of his opponent—if, through a long life, he has been known to range himself on the people's side, to struggle for their claims—if he has exposed fearlessly combinations to do wrong—if, where vast schemes of finance, education, or works of public utility have bean on the tapis, his voice has been heard in. the war of words, or his pen most active for the right—then vote for him. But if not, as burgesses, as conscientious citizens, you are bound by the laws of public duty and pri vate morality, to vote for Mr. John Smith, whose actions and character will reflect lasting honour on your choice. At the same time, you will assert the great pre rogative of an Englishman—his right to form an unbiassed and upright Judgment, joined to an ear nestness of purpose that nothing but what is open, manly, and English, can influence. A COSMOPOLITAN, BUT NOT A BURGESS OF PITT-STREET WARD Liverpool, Oct. 28, 1853. COUNTY' COURT. --Y EBTET DAY The County Court sat at the usual hour yesterday HAGAR v. RICHARDSON. This was an action brought to recover £lO, for damage done to the plaintiff, Mrs; Hagar, by a cart belonging to the defendant having come into collision with a car in which she was driving. Mr. Grocott appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Hime for the defendant. It appeared that between eight and nine o'clock on the 30th of July, the plaintiff was driving along Hatton-garden, from Tithebarn-street to Dale-street, when the cart belonging to the defendant came into collision, and plaintiff was thrown out and injured. The action was brought to recover the amount of a surgeon's bill, and compensation for loss of time. The defence raised was that the occurrence had not taken place through negligence, and also that the defendant was not liable, as the cart was at the time in the use of another party, who was a sub-con tractor to defendant. The court deferred judgment until Monday next. 314EORGE v. HOBS.—In this case an action was brought by Miss Margaret M'George, to recover £ll 18s. 3d., rent of a house, from Mr. George Dixon Hore, executor of the will of Mr. Ralph Abram. Mr. Grocott appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Greatley for the defence. The question raised in the case was whether the defendant having given up the house without the consent of the owner, was liable for the rent accruing after quitting it, and upon the part of the defence it was stated that Mr. Cobb, agent for the plaintiff, had undertaken upon his own authority that plaintiff would consent to take the houses off defendant's hands at once. The Court expressed a wish to have the evidence of Miss M'George herself produced, in order to as certain what authority she had given to the agent. His Honor added that the argument brought forward 'by Mr. Greatley had a great deal of weight. Mr. Greatley said true it was, that the agent had made a statement inconsis tent with that of Mr. Hore. Mr. Hore stated that Mr. Cobb told him that Miss M‘George would release him, and as Mr. Hore had certainly given his evidence in a clearer manner, he should give the preference to him. It was then argued very fairly that if Mr. Cobb could not be relied upon for the one statement he could not be relied upon for the other, and therefore Miss M'George ought to be produced herself to say what authority she gave him. He thought it right to say that he did not attribute the manner in which Mr. Cobb gave his evidence to any , desire to mislead, but merely that there was some confusion in it. His present opinion was, that even if Miss M'George's agent , did com- rriunicate to'the defendant that his principal would release them from the house, it did not bind the principal, unless it could be shown that the agent was especially authorized to make such an arrangement. The ordinary duties of an agent might be performed without such an arrangement, and the principal would be bound by them, but in such a case as that it was his opinion that a special authority should be shown. The case was therefore ordered to stand over to the 11th of November, for the production of Miss M‘George's evidence. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST THE CAPTAIN AND CREW OF THE EMIGRANT SHIP, CHARLES CROKER.—We have to record an instance of damage having been sustained, during the late gales off the Irish coast, by an outward-bound vessel which, as we have been informed, is attended with circum stances of peculiar, though, we regret to say, not unusual hard ship. The ship Charles Croker, Capt. Deland, left Liverpool for New York on Thursday last, and put into Belfast lough on Sunday, through stress of weather. She had four hun dred and sixteen passengers on board, and had also a quan tity of iron on freight. Since the time of her leaving Liver pool she had to encounter severe weather, in the course of which she lost one of her mizen yards, a great deal of her canvass, and sustained other damage. Under these circum stances, it was deemed dangerous to proceed on her passage outward, and the ship was run into this lough on Sunday evening, having lost one man, who fell overboard on Sunday Tflornine. The passengers, the majority of whom are Ger mans, besides numb... from Wales, complain bitterly of the treatment which they received during melt nhvit paoor. s o. From the time that the vessel left Liverpool, on Thursday, some of the passengers informed us they received no provi sions of any kind from the ship's stores, nor was any attempt made iu that, respect to comply with the terms of the Act of Parliament. Those of the passengers who had a supply of provisions on board for emergencies, of course, in this state of things, were compelled to bring them into use, but, to their surprise, found that it was totally impossible to have them cooked, until they had, in the first instance, satisfied the pecuniary demands of those of the ship's crew who pre sided over that department ; and any of the passengers whose means did not permit of their complying with this, were ob liged-to use that portion of the provisions they had supplied themselves, which did not require to undergo the operation of cooking. Besides, it seems the ship was kept in a state of great filth, from the want of proper regulations having been established on leaving port. This is the statement which has been made to us by several of the passengers, who speak strongly of the treatment to which they have been subjected; and, cert inly, the appearance presented by the poor people, who came up to our quays from the Charles Croker yester day, was of a distressing character.. There can be no doubt that their case will meet with a full investigation at the hands of the excellent Government Emigration Officer of this, port, Captain de COurcy, to whose attention we would es pecially direct it.--Northern gfttiq. . THE PUBLIC WORKS IN PROGRESS IN PARIS. — The works now going on in Paris,. as we have already told our readers, are of extraordinary magnitude, involving, if all carried out, an enormous expenditure—an expenditure far beyond what prudence and justice would authorise.. This, however we will leave the French people to settle. The works to connect the northern gallery from the Tuileries with the Louvre are progressing with uncommon activity. A patron of the Rue Rivoli is already built as high as the cornice. In the Place . 4 Carousel very little progress Ms been made with the ether proposed buildings, excepting for the foundations. Some pryers are finishing the ornaments in the pediments of the northern ; gallery, which have re mained without them since the erection of this part by Napoleon I. The continuation of the Rue de Rivoli from the Louvre towards the llotel de Ville bears, as far as new constructions and the length of opening, great resemblance to the present state of' the Victoria-street leading from Pimlico to Westminster.—The Builder. . THE SUICIDE IN THE WORKHOUSE An inquest was held yesterday, before the Borough Coroner, to inquire into the circumstances of the suicide of Margaret Conner, in the Liverpool Workhouse, briefly mentioned in our last issue. It appeared that the de ceased was brought into the female department of the lunatic asylum on the 7th inst., from the ship " New World ;" she was then in a very desponding state. On Wednesday she got up at the usual hour, and was dressed by Catherine Dennan, a pauper nurse in the establishment, who gave her her breakfast. At this meal the nurse used a knife, and when taking the deceased into the day-room, she put this knife at the top of a press. Upon her return sne found the deceased lying on the floor, and at first she supposed she was in a fit, but upon examining her she found that she had cut her throat, and was quite dead. The knife she had used lay by her side, and it was the same knife which the nurse had employed at breakfast, and which she afterwards placed on the top of a press. Ann Assender, the head nurse of the lunatic department, gave evidence to finding the body in the state described above. The coroner cross-examined both these witnesses, but little more was elicited from beyond the fact, that the nurse Dren nan said she thought she was acting for the best when putting the knife out of the way, and considered she was taking care of the lunatics in so doing, as she had often placed a knife in the same place before, without its leading to any bad results. The nurse Assender, in answer to the coroner, said, the fact of iron bars being placed inside the windows of the cells, presented facilities to suicide, as holdfasts to which the lunatics might attach portions of their clothes, and thus hang themselves. She also stated that from her experience of the . treatment of lunatics, she considered the cells in the old asylum were much I etter than those in the present one, because they were lighted from the top, and the latter received light from win dows placed in the sides. Mr. George Carr, the governor of the asylum, was the next witness examined. He stated that an order had been given, some days ago, to remove the bars from the inside to the ex terior of the cell windows, at his suggestion. The coroner having summed up the evidence, The Jury returned a verdict of suicide, whilst labouring under insanity, declaring their opinion of tho unfitness of the lunatic asylum of the Workhouse for such a use, and recom- Zlttsw olitnail va cu azicrea as w arrora s'arety, cheer fulness, and proper ventilation to the inmates. IRELAND. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) • DUBLIN, THURSDAY, DEATH OF SILL WILLIAM BETHAM.—This ' gentleman died yesterday at his residence, Stradbrooke, Blackrock. He filled the position of Ulster's King-at-arms, an office corresponding to that of Garter; King in England. It was rather a lucra tive berth ; but it is doubtful whether it will be continued, as its duties are more expensive than necessary. THE MAYNOOTH COH - MlSSlON.—Saunders' s News Letter of to-day says : —The Commissioners are pursuing their inquiry with Indefatigable zeal. In addition to the profes sors, deans, and heads of the College, several students from each class are taken in succession, and subjected to a rigid examination, not only upon certain points of Roman Catholic theology, but upon the more vexed question of the nature of the allegience to the Queen as indoctrinated at Maynooth, as well as to the extent of obedience Roman Catholics are bound to give to the Iloly See. The question of education, generally, forms, of course, a leading feature of the investi gation, and some of the more advanced students' acqui re ment s have been severely tested by what might be deemed a regular academic examination on the part of the Commissioners. ABDUCTION OF A CHILD.—At the Commission Court, yesterday, Lucy Fay was indicted for having enticed and taken away a girl under ten years of age, namely, four years old, called Maryanne White, with intent to deprive Mrs. Selina Alicia Doyne and Sarah Martin, in whose lawful keeping she was, of the care and custody of the child. It appeared from the evidence that the relatives of the child were persons'in humble life, her father, James White, having been a gardener, and the occupation of her aunt, the pri soner at the bar, was that of a washerwoman; James White married a • Roman Catholic, who died some time after their marriage, leaving an only child, Maryanne White, to her husband's care. Immediately after the death of his wife, White brought in the sister of his wife, who was alsO a Roman Catholic, to live with him, but after remaining in his house for a year or two, she left him, and a niece of White's then came and lived with him up to, the period of his death. White was a Protestaut, and had brought up his child in that faith. As regarded the abduction of the child the facts were as follow :—On the 7th of June the father became unwell, and perceiving that his end was near approaching, he became anxious to make a provision for the child, and accordingly executed a deed in the most solemn manner, whereby a certain person named Mrs. Selina Alicia Doyne, became the lawful guardian, and at the same time made a will disposing, of his property. Mrs. Doyne was the proprietress of an in fant school at Newton Park, and she, with the approbation of its father before his decease, gave the child in charge to the schoolmistress, Sarah Martin. After the death of White, Mrs. Martin went to the house with the child, and while it was there playing about, the prisoner at the bar who had come there also, took it up and carried it away, and neither Mrs. Doyne nor Miss Martin had ever seen it since. That ottence was Dy me torn iteo. t v zeta sec., cap. dz, maae a felony, and most justly so, for it was an offence involving most serious consequences both to private families and society at large. The case excited a great deal of interest, and occupied the whole day in its trial. Ultimately the jury did not agree to a verdict, and were locked up for the night. THE WEATHER.—Torrents of rain continued to fall all last night in the metropolis and neighbourhood, The accounts from the provinces represent similar severity, and several floods have taken place from the swollen state of the rivers. FACTION FIGHT.—One of those affrays took place a few days ago, at Dunamoner fair, county Mayo. Through the interference of the police, much bloodshed was prevented, and seven men were arrested. ASSAULT BY A ROMAN CATHOLIC CLERGYMAN.—At tho Kniss county quarter sessions yesterday, the Rev. P. 0. Keepe, P.P., of St. Kyran's, pleaded guilty to an assault on a Scrip ture-reader named Edghile, and expressed his regret for having so acted whilst labouring under excitement. Under these cir cumstances, only a fine of one shilling was inflicted. OLD BURIAL GROUNDS IN IRELAND.—From a corres pondence which appears in to-day's Freeman, we are informed that Lord Palmerston has promised to introduce a bill for the reparation of those ancient cemeteries, early next Session. A NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOT.—The ceremony of choosing candidates for the co-adjutor bishoprick of Dromore, took place the other day at Newry. The following is the result :—The Rev. D. Shockey, of Ballinahinch, dignissimus, the Rev. Dr. O'Brien, of Turgan, di gnior, and the Rev. Dr. Morgan, of Drumgeoland, dignrs. These three names will b e transmitted to the Vatican for his Holiness' selection. BALLYMENA AND PORTRUSH RAtr.wmr.--Th e Ulsterman says: There are now between 700 and 800 labourers engaged on the Ballymena and Portrush line of railway, and as every facility is being given to the possession of the land along the prescribed route, the impression is strong that Mr. Dargan will complete his contract in even a shorter period than that agreed upon. THR AamY.—Her Majesty's paddle wheel steam-frigate Leopard, 18 guns, 560 horse power, Captain George Giffard, left_ Spithead on , Thursday, at 6 p.m., and arrived in Cork harbour at 10 a.m., on Sunday. She leaves for the Mediter ranean with drafts of several regiments, which have received orders to embark as soon as possible. THE NORTHERN POLICE COURTS.-YESTERDAY LIVERPOOI THE ROBBERY IN GLOUCESTER-STREET. John Pieka vance was again brought up charged with being one of the parties who, on Satnrday, the 30th of July last, robbed Mr. Wm. Chisnall, of Seaforth, in Gloucester-street. Prosecutor swore to the identity of the prisoner, and stated that he had described him to the police at the time. A new feature in the case however transpired. The prisoner brought forward a certificate from the foreman of Mr. Preston, veterinary surgeon, Park, stating that on the date named, the man was at work all day ; whilst a fellow workman swore that about the time the robbery took place, (half -past seven in the evening,) prisoner was with him in Hughes and Bishop's public-house, Park. Mr. Clough produced the report-book, by which a serious discrepancy in prosecutor's evidence appeared. He did not describe the prisoner on the night of the robbery, nor could he, because he was himself entered as being drunk. The prisoner was discharged. CommiTTALs. Mary Fowler was sentenced to one month's imprisonment, for stealing wearing apparel out of a cellar where she lodged.—John Hughes, for robbing a clothes' line at a brickfield in Smithdown-lane, when drunk, and having a petticoat, part of the property, on his person when taken, was fined 55., or three days in prison. John Powell and John Haekin were committed for three months each, for having in their possession and offering for sale at John Austine's, marine store, Regent's-road, a quantity of copper, stolen from a warehouse in Walter street, north side of Stanley-dock ; they were known to the police, and had been before committed. VITRIOL THROWING.—Ann Webster charged on Mon day last, with seriously injuring the face of her husband by throwing vitriol over him whilst asleep, was further remanded, upon a certificate from the dispensary, that he was not yet able to go out. CHARGE OF GAROTTE ROBBERY AND FELONIOUS ASSAULT. —Jonathan Carr was put forward by officer 61, who stated, that on Wednesday night, at half-past ten, he was on duty in Melbourne-street, Mount Pleasant, when he heard a cry of " police," and " stop thief." He gave the alarm, and then saw a man making his escape from a woman, and that, ,when he perceived the officer, he dropped a victorine. Offi cer promptly arrested the prisoner, and took the charge from the woman. _ _ _ Agnes Johnson, a respectable looking and lady-like per son, stated that e resided at 28, Leander-street, she was going home through Melbourne-street on the night in question, when prisoner came up to her and made some proposals, which she indignantly rejected, calling him a low ruffian. Prisoner immediately put his arms round her, thereby pinioning her, and then knocked her down twice. He then committed an assault of an indecent nature upon her, and finally, half-choked her, making off with the ,victorine. . A gentleman deposed that he saw the prisoner running in the direction, and turning the corner of Cambridge-street, into Mulberry-street. The prisoner, in his defence, said the prosecutrix made proposals to him in the first instance. This the prosecntrix denied with tears, stating that her 'husband had lately left her, and that she now lived with the 'widow of a gentleman who had held a respectable situation in the excise. The Magistrate said the outrage complained of was a very gross one, and they should remand the case to this day, in order that the police might make further inquiries into it. OBTAINING MONEY TINDER FALSE PRETENCES.—Frank Brady, an intelligent looking lad, was put forward, charged with obtaining various small sums of money under false pretences. Mr. Alfred Castellain, a merchant, of St. Anne's-lane, Aigburgh, deposed that about three months ago the prisoner came to his house, apparently in great distress, and stated that he was the son of a person named Jones in deponent's employment, that his father was going into the Infirmary, and wanted a pair of trowsers and a couple of shirts. The artful rogue cried bitterly as he made this statement. Witness gave him what he required, and next day discovered the imposition that had been practised upon him. Mr. Charles Cummins, of Liverpool, stated the prisoner came to the office on Wednesday last, and stated that his father, Jones, in the employment of the firm to which witness belongs, had suddenly burst three blood-vessels, and was gone into the Infirmary, and that he, prisoner, wanted three shillings to take him to Manchester, where he was promised employment. This tale completely imposed on. Mr. Cummins, who g a ve him the three shillings, and yes terday discovered the imposition. This artful young actor Iwas sentenced to three months imprisonment. JUVENILE TRlEVES.—Patrick Bryan, _Edward Fitzpatrick, and lames Gill, three mere infants, were put forward, charged with stealing boots from the shop of Mr. Thomas Ankers, boot-maker, Byrom-street. The officer got one odd boot on Bryan, which the owner identified. A smaller child was put forward, who was the person who took the property. !Gill was known to the police, and was remanded; the other 'unfortunate children were given up to their parents, who were in attendance. UTTERING BASE COlN.—Elizabeth Smith was put for ward by officer 20, charged with passing threb base crowns, i.,ar---., 1., ch. bliop or r,ir. -vrooawata, io, Paradise-street.

The officer said he had gone to No. 10, Parker-street, and searched the house, where he found a card, which he pro duced to the following effect:—" No. 10, Parker-street, -- 1853. To be paid, scratched or not." The half-crowns were particularly well executed. On the prisoner's person were also found 14 counterfeit half crowns, 3 crowns, and 24 shillings. Remanded.

ROBBERY IN THE RIVER ST. LAWRANCE.— WilliaM son, Thomas _al - Totem, and James Cain were charged with stealing divers articles of wearing apparel in the river St. Lawrance, belonging to a ship-mate named James Bates. They were in the ship Cape Rush, of Quebec, on her voyage to Liverpool. The case was fully proved ; but the magis trates had no jurisdiction, as the robbery was committed in a river of another country, and not on the high seas. WATCH ROBBERY.- William Rigley, an intelligent look ing young lad of 18, was committed for trial to the sessions, charged with stealing a watch on the 23rd of May . last, from Anne Hoyle, in a public-house and eating-house in Stanley street.

BIRKENHEAD. - - PASSING BASE COlN.—Felix Alford was charged with passing base coin under the following circumstances. It ap peared the prisoner went into Mr. Williams's shop, Argyle street, and paid ls. 6d. for a sponge bag, when the prosecu tor returned him a half sovereign and Bs. 6d., after some little time had elapsed, prisoner said the bag was too small ; and asked for the sovereign, while he would go fetch the old bag, prosecutor gave him the soverei,,mn back; and prisoner returned the change he had received, and walked out, but the prosecutor having some suspicion, examined the change, and found prisoner had given him a bad half sovereign ; he followed him, and gave him in charge to police-officer Can ning, to whom he gave a wrong address. Prosecutor was positive that he gave the prisoner a good half sovereign.— Remanded. CILAILGE OF PICE.DIG PocKETs.--William Thompson, swell mobsman, nicknamed " Thummy " f rom 4.- of his h a vin g +lv. halm, 'was charged;with picking pockets at a stall in Campden-street. Patrick Luggan, a porter, deposed as follows : I am a por ter, I noticed the prisoner at Mr. Hodgson's sale in -Camp den-street, amongst the parties that had their pockets picked ; there was an alarm of picking pockets given in the room, upon which prisoner came out and ran through seve ral streets; he was pursued by an officer, and was ultimately apprehended. A lady, named Mrs. Hayes, who had her pocket picked of 2s. 6d., Is:, 6d., a florin, and two sous, at the sale,. appeared in court against the prisoner. At the time the prisoner was taken into custody, one half-crown, ls., and 6d. were found in his possession; there was a female seen with him. The other lady who had her pocket picked would not appear. The prisoner, in his defence,- stated that he was a tailor, and that he could get a character at any time from Mr. Thomas, of Piccadilly. He was ordered to be put down, until the magistrates should consider what course they would pursue. SUSPECTED ROBBERY.--Catherine Butler, one of the do mestic servants at the Emigration Depot, was charged by Mr. Smith, Superintendent of the Emigration Depot, with stealing a quantity of bed-clothes, Jane Brown, Peter Evoy, and. Wife with receiving the property. Mr. Smith, having missed several sheets, and other articles, and the prisoner, Catherine Butler, seen several times in Peter M'Evoy's house caused him to take out a search-warrant, having on a previous occasion reason for suspecting, the prisoner, Butler. He gave detec tive Hodson the warrant, who afterwards searched Peter M'Evoy's house in Cleveland-avenue, accompanied by another police officer, and found the greater part of the pro perty ; there was also some of the property found at Jane Brown's house, all of which was fully identified by Mr. Smith, as belonging to the Emigration ' Depot. Re manded till Monday. ROBBERY OF BRAS - S.—Laurence Coleman and Mary Cole man, his wife, were charged on suspicion of stealing . a quan tity of-brasi, and Alice Gibbs with receiving it. knowing it to hate been stolen. John Higgins, of the Liverpool detective foree; with several other detectives, were engaged to watch a marine store, kept by Alice Gibb, when they noticed Mary Cole 'man go into the marine store, and take a quantity of brass from under her shawl, and lay it on the counter. De :Waive Dug* ,went fifi 4ndlied Xra, Gibb if she had any , AIIX TIMES. broken brass in her place; she denied having any; he afterwards searched her bedroom and found a quantity of it concealed under her bed. It appeared that the prisoner, Robert Coleman, worked at the Seacombe Foundry, and was watchman on Sundays, and his wife, Mary Coleman, cleaned out the offices. The foreman stated that they had brass similar to that in their store ; but he would not swear to it. The brass was evidently put in the fire and broken up for the purpose of selling it.—Remanded till Monday. Mrs. Thompson,who appeared on behalf of George Thomp son, her husband, who keeps a beerhouse in Grange-lane, for refusing to admit Inspector Burne and police-office- Sunning, at ten minutes past three o'clock on the 24th of October, was ordered to pay costs without penalty, as it was her first time being brought up. MANCHESTER HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Yesterday, at the City Police Court, Manchester, an Irishman named Terence Murphy, was placed in the dock on a charge of having, on the 10th of August last, stolen a watch-guard, chain, and silver ring, the property of a person named Hatfield. Mr. W. P. Roberts, solicitor, was for the prisoner. The prosecntor stated, that he was going up Oldham-road on the night of the 10th of August last, and that, when about Bengal-street, the prisoner overtook him. He walked alongside of him until at German-street, and then made a " grab " at pro secutor's watchguard. The prosecutor succeeded in retaining possession of the watch, but the prisoner got off with the guard, chain, and a silver ring attached to the chain. This was a little before twelve o'clock at night. The prisoner ran off down German-street. The prosecutor admitted that he had had some drink, but not so much but that he knew what he was doing. About eight o'clock on the morning of the 11th of August, he gave information of the robbery to the police ' with a description of the robber. A respectable female stated, that she and her husband were walking along Oldham-road on the night in question, when their attention was drawn to the prisoner, whose movements appeared to them to be of an exceedingly suspicious character. Shortly afterwards, they heard a scuffle, and then the prisoner ran down German-street, followed by the prosecutor. The pri soner was the man, though he had not the same clothes on. Mr. Roberts, for the prisoner, contended, that this was a case.of mistaken identity, and called a witness, who stated, that at the time of the robbery, the_ prisoner was at Wigan. Subject to inquiry being made at Wigan, to ascertain the truth of this statement, the prisoner was committed to the Sessions. WHOLESALE POCKET PICKING. ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON, AND ASSAULT WITH VIOLENCE Yesterday, at the city police court, Manchester, the magis trates were enga g ed upwards of four hours in the investiga tion of charges of pocket picking, robbery, and assault with violence, preferred against two men named John Hagin. who calls himself an agent, and resides in Booth-street-east, Chorlton-upon-Medlock, and Tames Steel, who is well known to the police. The case excited great interest, in conse quence of the prisoners being suspected of having been concerned in a great number of robberies recently committed in omnibuses, at public auctions, &c. The case for the prosecution was conducted by Mr. Beswick, the chief snper intendent of police ; Mr. Sowler, barrister-at-law, instructed by Mr. Bent, solicitor, appeared on behalf of Hagin; and Mr. Wheeler. barrister-at-law, instructed by Mr. R. Roberts, solicitor, appeared for Steel. The first charge gone into was, that the prisoners picked the pocket of Mrs. Jenkinson, while in an omnibus on her way from her residence in Bury-new-road, to the place of business of her husband, Mr. William Jenkinson, share broker, Back King-street. The lady found that her purse containing £23, was safe while she was in the omnibus, but on arriving at her husband's office it was gone. She was certain that it could not have been taken from her as she was going through St. Ann's-square, and that it must have been taken from her while she was in the omnibus. Both prisoners sat near to her in the omnibus, and they were dressed like gentlemen. The bench thought the evidence not sufficient to warrant a committal on this charge, and they were accordingly dismissed upon it. The same prisoners were then charged by Mr. Beswick, with having, on Sunday night, assaulted with great violence, and robbed, in Vine Grove, Greenheys, a person named. Enos Roberts, on his way home to his residence, Bridge street, Charlton-on-Medlock, and robbed him of a silver watch, watch chain, a purse containing about seven pounds, &c. The prosecutor was called, and stated that he was a draughtsman in the employment of Messrs. Hall and Wilson, ironmongers, King-street. On Sunday evening he went to the Welsh chapel, in Grosvenor-square. He left the chapel about ten minutes or a quarter to 8 o'clock, before the ser vice was over. He then went to the Cambria beer-house, in John Dalton-street. About ten o'clock he left, and pro ceeded towards his own house. He had got half-way down Lime Grove, or a little more, when a man bounced from an open gateway to one of the residences, and seized hold of a stick which witness had in his hand at the time. There was sufficient light for him to see the features of the man who came up. Witness had a dagger at the end of the stick ; the dagger got loose, and a second man came and seized his arm from behind. A third man came, put his —a 1 -4 He then began to lose all consciousness. The handkerchief had a strong smell of horse dung, and witness felt as if he was suffocating. Some time afterwards recovered himself, however, and cried out " murder." His top lip was cut, so that he could not talk. Shortly after a policeman and some gentleman came up. He then felt very ill. It was the priso ner Hagin who seized the stick. Witness was removed to a sur geon's, where hehad his wounds dressed, and then hewastaken home. He was quite conscious that Hagin was the man who seized his stick. The other prisoner, Steele, seized hold of hand, and he thought he was the one who gave him a blow on the cheek. He had an opportunity of seeing him, for he turned round and looked him in the face. Steele had on dark clothes, and a guard that glittered. It was a gold guard. He has not the least doubt that the two prisoners were the men who assaulted and robbed him. He was robbed of a patent silver lever watch, a silver guard, a purse containing £6 18s. 6d., two sixpenny pieces, three penny worth of copper, and a pair of pebble spectacles in a German silver case. He went into the dock this morning, and saw a number of prisoners there. Besides the prisoners, there would be a dozen or fifteen others. In the dock he recog nised Hagin and Steele as those who robbed him. Mr. Beswick, chief superintendent of the police, stated that when the prisoner, Steele, was brought to the police station he wore a gold watch and chain. He wont to Hagin's house with inspector Maybury, police-constable Macdonald, and others on Monday night. The house was locked up when they got there, but shortly afterwards a charwoman came and opened the door. From inquiries witness made he found it was uncertain whether Hagin would come home that night. He, therefore, placed two men inside the house, and other officers outside, to prevent any one escaping. When he got to•the Town Hall the following morning, he found Hagin in custody. He gave instructions to the officers to search the house. No property relating to the present charge had been found. Steele's portmanteau was searched, but nothing relating to the present charge was found there. Mr. Sowler then addressed the bench on behalf of the prisoner Hagin, and afterwards called witnesses to establish an alibi. One of these witnesses, named Wilson, said, in cross examination, that he first met the prisoner about a fortnight ago. He then gave his name as James Davis. Witness saw the prisoner Steele at Hagin's house the other day. - - - - - - - — Sir. Wheeler next addressed the bench on behalf of the prisoner Steele; contending that under the circumstances detailed by the prosecutor, it was next to impossible that he should have been able to identify the parties. After a brief consultation amongst-the — magistrates, the chairman, (Mr. Callender) said they had considered the case carefully, and paid very close attention to the evidence, and they were of opinion that, though tho prosPentor's ovidouoo was honest and upright, yet it was not sufficient for them to commit. The opportunity of the identification was so short, and the circumstances altogether so doubtful, that the mais trates did not cornipit, d,bvugu there was strong suspicion ..66aulitug LV Lae prisoners at the bar. The prisoners were then discharged. • Mr. John Maybury, inspector of the detective depart ment, and a police constable named John Porter, deposed to the prosecutor coming to the office and picking out the pri soners from among several others.

FREE TRADE FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY.—A public meeting of the shareholders in this society was held on Wednesday evening, at the Whittington Club, London, to ballot for priority of members. Mr. Wyld, late M.P. for Bodmiii, who presided,,entered at some length into the advan tages derived from freehold land societies in general. He stated that, although this society had only been in existence two months, it hail been enabled to enter into arrangements for the purchase of several estates, and to enrol a large num ber of members. Mr. Martindale followed, in explanation of the working of the society. He observed that in the short time which had intervened since the establishment of the Free-Trade Society the subscription amounted to £40,000.: Two estates had been purchased—one at An nerly, close to the Crystal Palace, and the other at Camber well.

MANCHESTER CITY COUNCIL A special meeting of the Manchester City Council was held on Wednesday last, Major ROBERT BARNES, presiding. The proceedings of the various committees were approved and confirmed. The coroner's bill, extending over a period of 17 weeks, and which amounted to £384 10s. 24d., was ordered to be submitte i to the finance committee. The next business of the meeting was to receive the re ports of the proceedings of committees during the past year. It appeared from the proceedings, during the year of the scavenging committee, that the drainage of the city was in a very satisfactory condition, there not being a single street in the township but had a good and efficient drainage. SUPPLY OF WATER TO MANCHESTER, On the water works committee's report being submitted, Mr. ALEX. PILLING said there was a statement that ap peared in a publication called the Atheneum, professed to have been made before the British Association about the 24th of September last ; and it was put forth as a statement made by the engineer of the Manchester Water Works (Mr. Bateman), who did not acknowledge it, but rather repudiated the statement as it stood. The statement made it appear that the daily consumption of water by the inhabitants of Manchester was 30,000,000 gallons, supplied from a reservoir 150 feet above the level of Piccadilly at its highest point. Now, that statement having been made, it would be supposed that the inhabitants had the quantity mentioned supplied to them. Now, he was satis fied that no such quantity ever came to Manchester. The largest quantity that had ever been attempted to be brought to Manchester, was 15,000,000, and from the making of that attempt, the conduit, being so imperfect, had been under repair ever since. The greatest quantity suppled to Man chester at present, was 8,000,000 gallons a day, and for that he thought they might be extremely thankful, for the old company never supplied them with more than 3,000,000 of gallons. (Hear, hear). Mr. Corrunx thought that the committee ought to take care that the wants of the city were attendedto, and fully sup plied before they supplied those who were outside. (Hear, hear). It appeared that the engineer, Mr. Bateman, had received £11,450, he wished to know if that was a portion of the per tentage he received. Mr. Alderman PILLING : Yes, Mr. Bateman received £ll,OOO which was due to him for his work. Mr. COTTRILL : Was that all he had received ? Mr. Alderman PILLING : That was all he had received appertaining to the work he had to perform. But it was not all clear salary to him, for'he had to employ and pay a number of assistants, and he also had to pay an amount for the original plans relative to the water works, from the commencement. He had also to pay his office clerks and his own expenses on journies to and from the works._ Mr. Corimm, said he wanted to know really and truly what was the_amount of money paid to Mr. Bateman, and if there was no document from which he could ascertain that ? The TowN CLERK said, the sum already named embraced every farthing that had been paid to Mr. Bateman. Mr. CorrRILL then drew the attention of the Council to the expenses connected with obtaining the two acts, £13,512 14s. 3d., and the legal and deputation expenses incurred since the acts were obtained, £3,556 19s. 2d. Now, he defied any memb er o f th e counc il t o f orm an opi nion from the information before him, that would warrant him in coming to a vote upon those two items. The TowN CLERK said Mr. Cottrill must remember that he was a member of the council when the previous reports were presented; and it would be remembered, if not by Mr. Cottrill, by many members of the council, that the very items referred to had been given and explained in previous reports to the council. Mr. ALEx. BANcnorr deprecated the irregular discussion which had taken place, Mr. WOLLEY wished to know whether the council were done with paying . Mr. Bateman, the engineer, or whether they were to receive further items under the head of " en gineer's expenses ?" The TowN CLERK said, Mr. Bateman agreed to see exe ecuted the works and find sufficient assistants, &c., for five per cent. on the parliamentary estimate of the expense of the works. The parliamentary estimate, and nothing like it, enabled them to complete the works, but Mr. Bateman had abided by that bargain, he had no claim upon the corporation for the extra time expen ded in carrying out the works in consequence of the unforeseen difficulties of the ground itself, and the extra expense con tingent upon those difficulties. And he thought it not impossible that Mr. Bateman had expended upon the cor poration almost every farthing he was entitled to under the contract, so that ho would get nothing but credit, or little but credit for the performance of the work under the con tract. The works had taken years longer than Mr. Bateman had expected, and though his services were still given to the corporation his pay had ceased. After some further conver sation, the report was ordered to be entered on the minutes. Statements of the attendances of members of the council at the meetings of the council and committees during the past year having been laid on the table, the council broke up. 313irtbss, IFFiarrine4, attll II eatb4.
