LITE RAT UR it Nara As. Foams : By Thomas Buchanan Read. London : Longman & Co. leeverson'a compensation principle appears to prevail nawhere more strongly than in the poetic literature of the ?vestal day. What we have gained in diffusion we have best in power. Never was there more widely-flowing paretic feeling, and seldom, if ever, less of poetry. The Whence of the great age of creative genius just extinct is beginning to be fully felt. It could not bequeath i's vital strength, but it has left Its memory and its influence iqt refined appreciation, purified fancy, and awakened sympathy. Its own tones have ceased, but number. bee echoes from all sides repeat faintly the sound. Mat a great era of poetry has just closed is evidenced by the appearance of numberless little vslinmee, lull of fancy and feeling, which win our iv:apathies, which cannot he read without pleasure, and wikkh are continually making us fur the moment almost teetelieve that a new poet has been born among us. The time has happily gone by when volumes of ringing non nesse were issued every day from the press, "at the request of friends," to be the jest and laughing stock of the reviewers. If it be true that one cannot help abseseing that there is little of the very poet in the Tames of verse now daily published, neither can he in justice keep back the remark that in most instances a genial sympathy with nature, a pure appreciation for all elljects of beauty, a refinement of thought—in short, a deeply poetio feeling appeals to the heart and the intellect of the reader. The volume we have now before us its one of the highest specimens of this class we have seen of late days. It has the leading characteristics of the meat modern poets—the love of outward nature, and the appreciation of her mysterious appealings to man : tlialeaaobled fancy which extracts high meanings and moral from the humblest objects; and the ten lerness of feeling which gives what may be recognised as a religious tone to rrery thought. Mr. Read's poems resemble those of Xis countryman, Longfellow, more perhaps, than any ether; but the resemblance is not so close as to suggest acyt hing more than an occasional memory of the • Voices stifle Night," or" Evangeline." So much of the poetic aubigh thought and susceptible fancy, quickeued by the bee of nature and the sense of beauty and harmony can produce, this volume evinces. Many of the poems have a quiet suggestive beauty, of which the hid ience is felt growing stronger when more ambitious efforts would Dave wholly faded out of memory. It is a somewhat singular circumstance, that this quiet beauty and refined sympathetic appreciation of the he mbler aspects of nature, should be the chief attributes of the poets of a ;land where grandeur and vastness are everywhere the external elmracteristies. The poets of America are like the minor German poets, susceptible of beauty most keenly in its aanst limited range, tender lovers of nature's softest expressions, quiet interpreters of the gentler emotions of Densasity. Such are the attributes of Mr. Read's ballads, mid we cannot avoid doing him the justice to remark, that many a German has been admitted to something not very far removed from a classic rank in poetry, who did met deserve so much of the world as the author of some of the thoughtful and feeling poems in this volume. " The Chasing Scene" evinces the eye of the truthful ?sinter, as well as the melody and the heart of the "The Summer Shower" makes us to se the falling:drops, and hear them patter on the earth. A very beautiful ballad is that entitled " Nightfall." It b somewhat too mystic perhaps, but the reader is !ouuhed and his sympathies are stirred to awakening 3y its vague, melodious, scarcely-expressed sadness. litany extracts might be made, but one at least we cannot retrain frOm giving to the reader. It is called PASSING ICEBERGS. A azABLEss shape of brave device, Our vessel drives through mist and rain, lietween the floating fiedt of ice, 'lhose navies of the =them main. Those arctil ventnr_s blindly hurled, Tce proofs of Nature's olden force, Like fragments of a crystal world Long shattered from its skiey course. There are the blecateers that fright The middle sea with dream of wrecks. And freeze the south winds in their flight. And cha n the Gulf-streams to their decks. There stands some Viking as or yor', Grim heroes from the boreal realm Where Odin ra'es the spee'ral shore. And oft beneath th 2 sun or moot?, Their swift and eager f.lchions glow; Whil., like a storm-vexed wins, th 3 rune Comes chafing through some beard of snow. And when the far north Mabee np With fires of mingled red and gold, Ihey know that many a blazing cup 11 brimming to the absent bold.

Lord Stanley, of Alderley, President of the Board of Trade, &c., &c.„ by Edmund Sharpe, M.A., Fellow of the Royal Institute of Architects. London : Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. " The littl3 pamphlet, bearing the above heading, new before us, is one deserving every consideration, not only because of the importance of the subject of which it treats, but also because of the simple but withal lucid and comprehensive manner in which the writer deals with H. He does not indulge in vain regrets at the extrava gance and want almost of ordinary prudence and foresight exhibited until a very recent period, when experience began to bear its fruit of wisdom, in most of ear railway undertakings, but at once proceeds to the consideration of the question,' how the trunk lines of railway, which now intersect the country, can be made the remunerative speculations, which, at their starting, it 'was confidently predicted they would become, and, at the same time, how the outlying districts bordering on them eon bo made participators in the benefits which railways invariably confer on those places having immediate com munication with them. No one will controvert the axiom I aid down by the late Sir Robert Peel, that the greater the extension of railways, the larger will be the benefit to tie country, but bitter experience has shown that unhappily it does not follow, as a consequence, that all extensions will be equally profitable to those who Invest money in: their construction. On the contrary, it hap THE N ORTIIERN TIMES.=-LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 0 THE LATE MR. DOUGLAS JERROLD. (From the Atlantic Monthly, a new American Magazine.) Douglas William Jerrold was, I take it, of South Saxon ancestry, He was the son of a country manager, named Samuel Jerrold, and was born in London on the 3rd of January, 1803. His father W,14 for a long time managi rof the Seaport theatres of Sheerness and Southend, which stand opposite each other just where the Thames becomes the sea. Deuelas spent more of his boyhood therefore about the sea coast, in the midst of a life that was doubly eramatic— dramatic as real, and dramatic as theatrical. There were sea, ships, sai'oss, tyisoners, the hum of was, the uproar of seaport life on one hand ; on the other, the queer, rough, fairy world (to hi n at once fairy world and home world) of the theatre. It was a position to awaken peecociously, one would think, the feelings of the quick-eyed, and quick hearted lad. No wonder he took the sea fever to which all our blood is liable, and tried a bout of naval life. At eleven years of ago he became a middy, amd served a short time—not two years in all —in a vessel stationed in the North Sea. Naval life was a rough affair in those days. Jerrold'a most r merkable experience seems to have been bringing over the wounded of Waterloo from Belgium ; which stamped on his mind a sense of the holsters of war that never left, him, but is marked on h:s writings everywhere, in spite of a certain combative turn and an admiration of heroes which a'sa belonged to him. To the l a e, ho had an interest in sea matters, and spoke with enthusiasm of Lord Nelson. But the literary use he made of his nautical experience was with Black-eyed Susan." He was a boy when he came ashore, and threw himself on the very different sea of Lend ; and it is the influence of London that is mast perceptible in his mature works. Here his work was done, his battles fought, his mind formed; and you may observe in his writings a certain romantic and ideal way of speaking of the country, which shows that to him it was a place of retreat and luxury, rather than of sober, practical living. This is net u icomenea with literary men wheats lot has been cast in a great city, if 'hey possess, as Jerrold did, that p s tic temperament which is alive to natural beauty. He now became an apprentice in a printing office, and went through the ordinary course of a printer's life. He felt genius stirtiog in hitn, and strove for the knowledge to give it now ish men', and the field to give it exercise. Ile read and wro e, as well as worked and to ked, It would be a task for antiquarian research to recover his very eariiest lucubrations scattered among the ephemeral periodicals of that day. Plays of his might be dug out, whose very naraes are unknown to his most intimate friends. He scat ered his early fruit far an 1 wide—getting little from the world, in exeliacge. Literature was then a harder struggle than lit our Jays. Jerrold did not know the successful men who presided over it. He hal no patrons; an -I he Intl but few friends. The isolat on and poverty in which ho formed his mital and style deepened the pscu'iarity which was a char- , actoristic of them. They gave to his genius that intense and eccentric character which it has; and no doubt (for Fortune has a way of compensating) the child they breathed on the fruits of his young nature enriched their ripeness, as a touch of frog does with plume The grapes from which Tofu . ) , is made are left hanging even when the snow is o:r th tm ;--all the better for Tokay His youth, then, was a long and hard struggle to get bread in exchange for wit :—; struggle like that of the poor gir a who sell violets in the street. Ile wan wont to talk of these easly days very feeely,— passionately, even to tears, when he go; excited,—and always bravely, heartily, and with the right " moral "to follow. When Diderot had passed a whole day without bread, he vowed that if he Ever get prosperous, he would save any fellow creature that he c iuld from such suffering. Jeri-Wel had learned the 82.1373 lesson. Through life, he tolls the side of the poor arid weak. ft was the secret at ones of his philosophy and his politics. He got endless abuse for his eternal tirades against the great and the " respec,able,"—aga'n et big-wigs of every size and shape. But the critics who a tacked him for thia nega ive pole of his character overlooked the pesitiv3 ono. He had kindness aid sympathy metre ; but he a'ways gave them first to those who wanted them most. And as humorist and satirist he li td a na ural tendency to attack power—to p'ay Pasquin agniest the world's Pope. ,In fact, his radicalism was that of a huruoii t He never adopted the utilitarian, or, as it was called " philosophical," radicalism which was so fashionable in his younger days ; not indeed the continental radicalism hel f by a party in England ; bat was an independent kind of warrior, fighting under his own bauner, and always rather with the weapons of a man of letters than those of a politician. For the business aspect of politics he never showed any predilection from first to last, Well, then—picture him to yourself, realer, a small delicate youth, with fair prominent features—long thin hair,—keen, eager, largo blue eyes, glancing out from right . to left, as he walks the streets of Babyloc,—and seizing with a quick impulsiveness every feeling of the hour, Still young, and very young, he was married fur love. He is living is a cottage or villakin on the ouskirts of town, where there is just a peep of green to keep one's feelings fresh ; and he is writing for the stage. It is hard work, and sometim's the dun is at the door, and contact is inevia;ble with men rah° don's understand the otecious jewel he_weareth in Isla head._ sundays he sallies forth far iu al air with a little knot of t friends, and the tails is of art, and letters, and the world. So I quick and keen e a nature as his had immense buoyancy in Nay, for the very dun young Douglas had an epigram,—asl i bright, but not as welcome, as a sovereign. A saving of those early days has found its wry into a comedy,—but not the less belongs to his authentic biography. A threatening attorney shakes his fist at the villakin where at the window the wit is parleying with him, '• I'll put a man in the house, Sir !" " Couldn't y ,u," says Douglas, (end of course the right-minded reader is shocked,) " couldn't you make it a woman !" What a scandalous way to treat a man of business Between Douglas and the lawyers, for many yearn, there Was open war. He was a kind of Robin Hood to these reptesentatives of tho Crown,—adopting the plucky and defiant gaiety of the old outlaw, and shooting keen arrows at them with a bow that never grew weak. A wit wi h a mission,—this was the position of Douglas in the last y :ars of his life. Accordingly he was a little ashamed of the immense success of the "Caudle Lectures,"—the fame of which I remember being bruited about the Mediterranean in 1843,—and which, as social dr ell cries, met nations lauehieg. Douglas took their celebrity rather sulkily He did not like to be talked of as a funny man. However, they just hit the reading English,l—always domestic in their literary as in their other tastes,—and so helped to establi,h Punch and to diffuse Jerrold's name. He began now to be a power in popu'ar literature; and coming to be associate! wi h the liberal side of Punch, especially, the Radicals throughout Britain hailed him as a chief. Hence, in due course, his newspaper and Isis rnaenzine,--both of which might have been permanently successful establishments, had his genius for business borne airy proportion to his genius for literature. This, however, was by no manner of means the case. His nature was altogether that of a literary man and artist. lle could not speak in public. He could not manage money matters. He could only write and talk,—and these rather as a kind of inzprovvissatore than as a steady, reading bookish man, like a Macintosh or a M icaulay. His politics partook of this charac er, and I always used to think that it *as a queer destiny which male him a Radical teacher. The Radical literature of I nglaud is, with few exceptions, of a prosaic character. The most funotis school of Radicalism is ' utilitarian and systematic. Douglas was, emphatically, neither Ile was impulsive, eppigramme•ic, sentimental. He desired gaily against an institution, like a pleader at a bull. He never ' sat down like the regular workers of hie party, to calculate the expenses of monarchy or the extravagance of the civil list. He had no notion of any sort of economy." The first thing that struck you was his extreme readiness in conversaioe. Be gave the electric spark whenever you put your knuakie to Th first time I called on him ie his house at Pwnev, fotted himsipping claret, W e ta lk e d of a cer tain dull fell iw those wealth male him prominent at that time, '' Yes," said Jerre! ', drawing his finger round the edge of his wineglass, tin's the range of his intellect,—only it had never anything half so go el in it." I quote this merely as one of the average bons nso!s which ne isle the small change of his ordinary conver a ion. He would pun, too, in talk, which he scarcely ever did in writing. Tints ho extemporised as an epitaph fur his iend Charles Knight, Good Night !" When Mrs. Glover complained that her hair was turning grey --from using essence ef lavinder (as she said)—he a ked her " whether it wasn't essence of yme ?" On the ecca ion of starting a c rnvivial dab (he was very fond of such clubs), tornebody proposed that it should consist of twelve members, arid be called " The Z ethic," member to be named after a sign. '• And what shall I be?" inquired a somewhat solemn man, who feared that they were filled up. "Oh, we'll bring you in as the weight in Libra," was the instant remark of Vouglas. A noisy fellow had beg interrupted a company in which he was. At last the bore said of a certain tune, "It carries me away with i'." " For God's sake," said J. rrold, let somebody whistle ii." " I have had such a curious dinner said C. " Calves tails." "Extremes meet," Douglas said instantly. Lie admired Carlyle ; but objected that he did not give definite suggestions for the improvement of the age which he rebuked. " Here," said he, "is a man who beats a big drum uader my windows, and whea I come running down-stairs has nowhere for me to go." A wild Republican said profanely, that Louis Blanc was " next to Jesus Christ." "On which side ?" asked the wit. Pretty Miss —, the actrt es, being mentioned, he praised her early beauty. "She was a lovely little thing," he said, " when she was a bud, and "—(a pluse)—" before she was a Rouen'." This was in a mei ty vein, and the serious r,ader must forgive me. lie called a small, thin London litterateur of his acquain tance,'" a pin without the head or the point." When a plain, not to say ugly, gentlemen intimated his intention of being godfather to somebody's child,Jerrold begged him not to give the youngster his "mug." A dedication to him being spoken of, "Ah!" said be with mock gravity, '‘ that' s an aw f u l power that ----- in his hands." Carlyle and a much inferior man being coupled by Immo been found that branch lines have. in place of materially increasing the profits to the shareholders, lessened them ; but now, when small dividen is make people ref! ?et, it is seen too late, that the error lay not in the making of branch lines, but the cost at which they were constructed; this cost arising from the equally false idea, that all ex tensions should be of the same character of the trunk lines to which they were to servo as suppsrts, not as parasites. It is clear, however, that our railway system will not be complete, until, in the words of Mr. Sharpe, "it possess its minor channels of communication, its tribu taries and feeders diverging from the male channel on each side, spreading and ramifying in every direction, drawing produce and carrying traffic into, and oat of every town, village, hamlet, and homestead within its reach." But he properly adds, "This is, hoverer, what it will never become, until these tributary lines are permitted to bear, in the sizs and extent of their works, the same relation to the principal lines, that, in other similar systems. the branches bear to the main trunk." H tying thus clearly stated the problem to be solved, he proceeds to the solu tion, and shows that it is only to be found in the con structlen of what he terms " Secondary Railways," which he again divides into two classes—a " First-class Tram_ way," worked either partially or altogether by locomotive power ; and a " Second-class Tramway," worked by horse power—both laid down, however, in such a manner that the one sh all be easily convertible into the other, when increased traffic and the circumstances of the case require it. It would be impossible, within the limits of a notice of this kind, which is inten led rather to deaw attention to a pamphlet, remarkable alike for its brevity and pith—a true Mattum in Pe-ea—than to criticise the views therein expressed, to describle fully the character of Mr. Sharpe's suggestions, and the manner in which he, to our mind, satisfactorily disposes of the objections which may be urged against them. We shall. therefore, merely say, in concluA )n, that in his letter, his views will be found fully and clearly developed—the calculations of the cost of the extensions of the character proposed by him carefully made, given—and a district, the valley of the river C naway, in North W-ales, taken as an illustration of the character of country fulfiling the required conditions for the introduction of both descrip tions of secondary railways. The pamphlet should be in the hand of every railway director who hopes to see our railway system made perfect and profitable ; and of every landowner who desires to see outlying districts of country, now cut off by their position from trunk lines, made part - cipators in the advantages to be derived from railway com nunication. THZ INSURANCE GUIDE AND HAND 1130 K.—London W. S. D. PAteman, POST MAC ‘Zlva OM e. This valuable work, though dediea! el especially to insurance Agents, may yet be perusal with profit and pleasure by the general reader. It explains in a popular manner the whole theory of Insurance, and imparts to a subject generally considered the most innons;:rehensible and dryest of the day, the interest and instruction which a well written history possesses. F.sr Insurance Agents, however, it has a special merit. It explains the principle and practice of Life A.ssuranee, and present position d existing offices. It gives a history of the introduction of the various branches of insurance now practised, and contains a popular outline of the laws of mortality tables ; the formation of rates of premium, with the rates of all the offices; and other points of practice. They too, are the best judges of its value, and to them we hearti'y commend it. ESSAY ON MAN'S IDEAS OF POWER, by John Faram. London: Hamilton. Alam3 & Co. Liverpool: Elward Rowel, Church-street. This work, small in siz ~ but not so in merit, is a new exposition of the principles of philosophy proper. on the basis of three ideas, and is especially intended by the author for young men seeking mental improvement. If it effect no o her end, its perusal will serve as an excellent exercise of the mental faczlties. As to its typographical character, the work has been brolght out in the first style of art, and reflects the highest credit on its publishers.

A deputation of six of the first men of the city of Glasgow have arrived in London for the purpose of waiting upon the Government to state that credit in Glasgow is paralysed, and that the mass of workpeople thrown out of emplow, who already number several thousands, will be vastly increased, unless some measures of commercial relief can be devised.

The writer, who exhibited a thorough piaotical knowledge of the abuses arid dofect, of the present system, entered into a variety of details showing how the whole bu , iness might be m triaged much more to the satisfaction of all irrties, excepting stnugg.ers and corrupted offizeis ; and the collection of spirir, malt, and paper do ies, which now caste about .£504,000 per annum, effected for £185,000, a saving of about X 319,003 yearly on that item only, in addition to the greater productiveness which might be anticipated with certainty from common senee arrangements and an honest sys em. It was observed that the very best reform that could he effected in the Excite Depar tment, would bo to sweep it away altogether; but as this is a consummation only to be ex,)ected when the peo?le generally become alive to its multifarious evils, the Secretary was directed to thank the au h tit for his communication, and to request further information, with a view to the publication of a tnic; on the subject. GOVERNMENT BDCKKIREPING, It was ordered that copies of Tract XXII., jest ifseed, should be sent to the leading members of the Admin'str .tion, and to such members of the House of Comm-ins as may be suppose I most likely to pay at - ention to the shameful abuses therein exposed, with a view to remedies for them, of which the most effete ive will be, tie appointmeut of a standing Fin itice Committee. These parts of the tract referring to the report of the Public Moneys' Committee, and the gross mis mauagement of the Duchy of Laucaster, and the Crown fro party generally, were mentioned as deserving of particular notice. THE NORTH AMERICAN GAME-PRICSERVA. Extrac'e were read from the Canadian papers, re pelting the exploratory expedition to he Red River settlement, showing that its accounts of the country, described by witnesses called before the committee of the House of Commons, to bolster up the monopoly of the Hudson's Bay Company, as barren, im passable, and wholly unfit for colonisaiion cr the habitation of civilised human being., are of the most sad-factory character ; and that there exists, betwein Lake Superior and the Red River settlernen , , an immense tract of magnificent count y, admirably timtered and watered, and in all respects edapted for settlement ; whilst the route, instead of being impracticable, affords every facility for opening ho h land and wa•er commu nication, and that at an inconsiderable outlay.

In regard to the great swamp, or savanne, over which Sir George Simpson, the monopolist Governor, said it was impo sible to carry a road, it has been discovered that the whole of the tract, occasional) , covered with water, can easily be com pletely drained, at very little expenditure of either money or labour, by cutting through a slight ridge, which would enable the waters to form a deep channel for them selves, and leave the country, not only dry, but io the state beat adapted for the plouh, and likely to yield the richest harvests of any p rt. of ihe corm ry. The suicidal folly of leaving such a country any longer in the bands of a private trading company, whose interests aro notoriously and avowedly opposed to settlement aed colonisation, and whose object it is to keep the whole of it, as far as pos-ible, in a state of nature, and the absurdity of tries inn to its representations, were commented upon; and it was observed that, under a proper system of government anti settlement, the half continent which a handful of private speculators are now allowed to keep locked up as a game preserve, for the sake of a paltry revenue of some half million a year, would become a source of strength and countless wealth to the mother country for ages. The secret of the continuance of such monstrosities as the Hudson's Bay Company and the East India Company, lies in the facts that both the monopoies are London ones—both are socially and politically powerful rhere - both have neenf-ers of Parlia ment amongst their directors; and there are profits and pick ings, of various kinds, vvisich are exclusively centred in the metropolis. Hence it is that there is little or no opposition to either monopoly in London ; that the London papers, with one or two houourahle exceptions, amongst which the Mernzng Star stands prominent, have not a word to say against either whilst the limes throws its shield over them heel, THR COST GP JUSTICE. A statement was read from tho Leeds Mercury, showing that at the late Kuaresborough Court of Quarter Sessions there was only one prisoner for trial, charged with stealing a shift, valued at 2s , and be pleaded guilty. For the transaction of this momentous business there were in attendance eight magistrates, who had travelled, on the average, twelve miles each; forty jurymen, whl hatl travelled, on the average, twelve miles ; ton barristers, of whom eight were from London ; and twelve officials of the court, who had travelled an average of 20 miles each. JJBBING IN CONTRACT 3 AND ETORES. The following extract from the monthly circular of the London, Norwich, and Northampton Boot and Shoe Company was read :—" It should be publicly known that the treat ment of our maculae urers by the Government has been most unfair, and such as must prevent respectable tradesmen from tendering; cons►quently the Government, at the present time, are rather beggats than buyers of goods. This state of things is not conducive to the wel l -being of the public service. Mu.:h of it arises front the e Trice exercised in rejecting gools for :he most trivial and unavoid able deviation from samp:e, not in any w.y affecting their value or durability. The parties employed to receive such goods appear to overloook the fact, that boots and shoos are ►nado by hundreds of d fferent workpcople, and therefore the impossibility of Uvsry pair being exac ly alike, as if moulded or made by a machine. Ou th, other brill, it is well known that the rejected goods of one person have been bouTht by others, who have found means to get them passed by the official Cerberus The ultimate result of this absurd system will throw the Government %holly out of the market, and their orders will be rej.cts.d while there is a sufficiency of any oilier work. Will it be credited that, no`wi hstauding the difficulty experienced by the Poard is ob aining from the trade what they require, at one of the public sales of sores about 15,000 pairs of fresh made and perfect goods were d sposed of by auction at a ruinous sacrifice ?" How can this be justified? There can be no justifi cation for su,h a system, or for the neglect of Ministers and Members of Parliament i❑ not thoroughly sifting into the rottenness of the departments, and effecting the necessary re form•. It was deemed cspec'aily desirable that the attention of Members of Parliament, disposed to do their duty, should be directed to the periodical scruffier) of Government stores by auction for what they will fetch, and tha very common re purchase of those very same stores by Govercmeut—often in the same packages and under the same marks, but of course at current market prices. This is the process by which the nation is plundered, and private fortunes are being constantly mode at the public expense. An efficient Financa Committee was again referred to, as likely to put a speedy stop to this, as well as to many other evils. BOYS' CLOTHIvfI MADE WITH GREAT TASTE AT LZWIS •ig .

A VOYAGE CUT SHORT. — Detective-officer Horn brought up a well-dressed person, named Richard Meigh, charged under the fallowing circumstances :—The officer said he took the prisoner into custody on board a ship called the Telegraph, in the river, bound for Australia, on a charge of having forged an order in the name of George Fowler, of Stoke-upon-Trent, and thereby obtained three crates of earthenware, value Cl 6. The facts were these :—The prisoner went to Stoke, and purchased a crate of ware from Mr. Fowler for £5 103 , which he paid. There were three other crates that the pris ,ner wanted, but Mr. Fowler refused to let him have them without money. The prisoner then asked him to tend the thr.:o crates to Liverpool, to his own (Mr. Fowler's) order and not to be delivered to any one else. He proposed to send a remittance fer one of the crates as soon as he sold that for which he paid This was agreed to, and a freight note sent with the carriers. When the messenger went to the prisoner, with the note for the crate which he had purchased ; the prisoner asked for the note relating to the other three. The prisoner described to the messenger the marks and numbers of the crates, and to whom they were consigned, and demanded the note, stating that he was George Fowler. He got the note and signed the name of " George Fowler," and obtained the property, which he sold to an Irish dealer for £l4, and when arrested, was on his way to the land of gold. The pri soner alleged that he had purchased the whole of the crates, and paid 5 103. on account. This was positively denied by the complainant, and the priso❑er was sent for trial. EXTZNSIVE PLUNDER BY A, SERVANT.—Mary Sherlock, who was a servant in the employment of Mr. Hut chins, biscuit baker, John's-lane, whose private house lis in Stafford-street, was brought up by detective officer Eaton, on a charge of having stolen a quantity of wearing apparel belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Hutchins, to the value of over £2O. It appeared that Mrs. Hutchins hired the prisoner on written characters ; she had been in the house about a month, and on the 26th Ocrober, in the absence of the family, she absconded, taking with her the property. and leaving five pawn tickets on a table, and a note stating that she had gone to Ireland. The tickets related to a quantity of the property she heal pledged at some pawnbrokers Mr. Hatchins said the Prisoner used the name of the Rev. Mr. Connor, and a military gentleman and on this she was engaged. His Worship said persons sh ou ld b e ver y cautious in taking servants without making proper enquiry, as written cisarac'ers could not be depended on. (The prisoner was a convicted thief previously.) Officer Eaton said the pri soner was the wife of a soldier, and he followed her to London, where he get her in Gunpewder-court, Shoe-lane. She was identified by the pawnbrokers, as the person who pledged a quantity of the property. The prisoner was sent for trial. MOHE PLUNDER BY A SERVANT.—Mary Currie was charged with having stolen a quantity of silver fotirs, knives, and other things, the property of Mr. Ormrod, of. 63. Brunswick-road, and also of stealing a quantity of wearing apparel belonging to the housekeeper and another servant in the same establishment. The housekeeper alowe 1 the prisoner int ) the home, as she was out of situation, and on Thursley she abscon 'ed, taking the pro perty with her. She was etopp-.d offering the spoons for pledge : the wearing apparel was - recovered. The prisoner was sent for trial. ASSAULT BY A SERVANT.—Elizabeth Hugh s, a servant in the employment of Mrs. Church publican, 140. Great Howa-d street, was charged by her mistress with having assaulted her. Tae complainant said, about 5 o'clock the 'previous evening she went up to the room where she found t , e prisoner asleep in a easy chair. She ordered her out, but she refused to go, and then she put her hand on her shoulder, when the prisoner struck her several times on the heed and face, and one blow on the eye cut her, and she bled a great deal She could not tell what the prisoner had in her hand, bat she must have had something to cut her so. Dr. Stuart said he attended the c mplainant, and found her in a very nervous state. There was a punctured wound over the left eye, and it was impossible it could have been inflicted with the naked hand. The hemeerrhage was very considerable, but the would was not dangerous. The prisoner was fined £lO, or in def cult of payment, six month's imprisonment DARK Den BRTNGINO SOMETRING TO LIGHT —A. very powerful made black man, named John B. Florence, was charged with nearly cutting the arm off a very powerful white man, named Delia Devlin. The complainant said he was in a public-house, at the corner of Athol-street, with some friends, when the prisoner entered and enquired for one Thomas Kennedy, swearing at the same time that if he got the aforesaid Kennedy, he would cut his throat. He held an open sharp knife in his hand, brandished it about fearfully, and vowed vengeance on Tom Kennedy. flireaf, is it woilla lie a wicked thing to do so, whereon, he swore he would d 3 the same to him, and at the same time made a dart of the k ife at his throat; he put up his hand to save himself, when the knife went into his arm, and made a desperate wound on it. Surgeon Davie, of the Northern Hospital, deposed to the serious na•ure of the wound. The prisoner told the following story, which the police asserted to be true in a great measure. He had 6 b zee of Cavendish tobacco on board a ship c rning to Liverpool from America. When agood way outside the N. W. light ship, Tom Kennedy and some other " gentlemen" boa ded the ship and purchased the tobacco from him, giving him a bill for £2.0 for the pay ment. They then took away the tobacco in a bmit. When he came on shore he w:nt after Tom Kennedy for payment of the bill, but is place of getting monse s ha got kicked and beaten by Tom Kennedy and his party (the complain ant being one of the crew-Kennedy) in the worst manner On Friday he heard that Tom was in the public-house, he went there, when he was attacked and nearly murdered by about :20 fellows. He was down, and in self defence he drew his knife, when the complainant, who was making a desperate blew at hini hit his arm against the knife and that was hew it happened His Worship ordered the pri noner to be remanded to Tuesday, and directed the police to tn-ke enquiry about the affair, From what was subsequently stated, it is not unlikely that the police and excise officers may have Tom Kennedy and some of his garg, together with the six boxes of Cavendish, before the court, along the prisoner, when the next. appeers there. FTIZEET ROBBERY BY A FEMALE. -A well-deessed young woman, named Line Tobin, was cha gad with having stolen a pocket-book containing a £lOO promisso y no t e , an d th ree scrip certificates of a 'building society, from Humphrey Smith, who resides in Graftot-street, Park The com plainant was going home on Friday night, when he was accosted by the female, and soon after he missed his book and contents, as aleeva He ads) los' a key, a tooth pick, and knife, which were euha , Tiently found on the prisoner ; but the other things were not forthcoming.

It is truly frightful to see the danger boys go through by standing orr their heads in the street, and it is wonderful that we have not to recArd m are fatilesacciJents from this dangerous practice. A few diys ago, a child named James Brett, who lived with his parents, in Hornby-street, got a fall, whilst , tanding on his bead, and died from the effects of the injuries. The jury in the case f o und a verdict of " Accidental death " LThe police should iaterfere, and put an end to this clang -dram practice in the streets.] At LEWIS & UIti?ANY'S, Ranelagh-street, BOYS are CLOTHED from the Ages of Six to Treaty Years.
