POLICE INTELLIGENCE LIVERPOOL. (BEFORE MR. SANDS Is MARY ANNE AT HOME ?—Darby Shelly, described as a master stevedore, residing at Birkenhead, charged the keeper of a " house" in Peter street, who gave her name as Elizabeth Herfernan, with having robbed him of eight sovereigns. The details of the case, particularly on cross examination by Mr. Bluck, who was for the prisoner, caused considerable laughter. It appeared that the com plainant had had a " difficulty" with his wife at Birken head, and that he came to Liverpool, and went to the prisoner's hence to enquire for a young lady, named " Mary Anne," with whom he had a former acquaintance. He then went on to give a very laughable account of his " travels through Peter street, Spitalfields, and Preston street" with the lady, the result of Which was that, in the middle of the night, he awoke and found his money gone. He then applied to the prisoner for the " tin," when she pulled out the little white bag with the money ; " and," says she, ff Darby Shelly, I'd scorn to take a dirty ad vantage of yourself or your money, and there it is. And do you think," says she, " its eight pounds trusting to ? Not all," says she, " no, nor eighty pounds either," says she • "your money is safe as Ben Barton's bank." " Well, sir, I being a rolicking, roving, sort of a comical devil— particularly when I'm on a battering spree, and that's pretty often—l; did not mind it till morning, and then she had skirted away, and we could not find her for a long time after." Mr. Black : The prisoner is a fine-looking woman ? Witness : Well, bedad she is ; but that's a matter of taste. Mr. Bluck : And did you not want her to elope with you to Dublin. telling her you would leave your wife in Birkenhead? Witness: Arrah, don't be joking, sir. Mr. Bluck said, according to the evidence of the witness, there was no case of felony made out against the woman. The rrisener was remanded. ROBBERY OF Soar.—John Griffith, late in the employ ment of Messrs. Lund & Ca., soapnakers, Key street. was charged with stealing; a quantity of sio, and Anne Harison, alias Carroll, who keeps a shop cellar in Union street, was charged for receiving it with a guilty knowledge. Detective Wilson sai I he went to the cellar of the female prisoner, and asked if she had received any soap that morning and she replied she had not sev era l ti mes . If s searce d the cellar, and found a box containing about 48 lbs of soap, bearing the mark of Lund & Co., and then the prisoner said it must have come in of itself! She afterwards said that she received the soap from the man, but considered he got it properly, as he was in the soapery. She paid him ss. on account, and was to give him 53. next day. Detective Gristhwaite said lie got six empty boxes, all with the marks of Messrs. Lund & Co. on them, in the cellar. Mr. Lund proved the soap to he his ; and proved that the prisoner Griffiths was in his employment at one guinea a week. A person in Mr. Lund's employment identified the boxes. Mr. Lund, in reply to Mr. Bluck, who defended the female prisoner, said he could not say if the soap had been sold, but he could say it had not been sold to the woman. The defence set up by Mr. Muck for the female was, that her aunt kept the cellar for some years, and she died about a month since, leaving her business to the prisoner. The aunt was in the habit of dealing with the male prisoner, and Mrs. Harrison thought it was all right, and did purchase a small quantity of soap from the man. He said his client was highly respectable in her position. The prisoners were sent to trial, but, on the application of Mr. Black, the woman was admitted out on bail. WHAT IS FELONY ?—Georgo Petrau, bearing the appear ance of a sailor, was brought up on a charge of having stolen a clock, and for having assisted other persons, not in custody, to steal some pictures and money from the shop of Nicholas Werry, Mersey street. The case was a curious one; and, from the statement of Mr. Campbell, who appeared for the prosecution, it seemed that the prosecutor kept a cigar shop in Mersey street. On Thursday he let his interest in the shop and fixtures to a person named Patterson, for £25. £2O of the money was paid down, and the balance was to be paid this (yesterday) day, when possession was to be given up. In the course of Thursday evening the prisoner, along with Patterson and some other persons, entered the shop and proceeded behind the counter ; they then went on to act in an extraordinary manner, and exercise ownership is the place. The complainant remonstrated with them, when they took the money out of his till, and knocked him about. Ile then went out to look for a policeman, and on his return the parties were gone, having taken some pictures, a clock, and the money out of the drawer. They took about £3O worth of property altogether. The complainant did not see them, but as he could not find the others, he gave the prisoner into canto ly, when he saw him in the street. It was contended that the prisoner had not committed a felony, and a.; the evidence was not deemed sufficient, he was aischarged. SHOPLIFTERS. —Ann Murray, Jane Edwards, and Ca therine Flinn, three well dressed girls, wars charged with sealing three mufflers from a shop in Vauxhall road. The p ismers (who are known to the police) went into the shop, and whilst under pretence of making a purchase, they stole the property and ran off, but were arrested with it in their possession. They were committed for three months each. ROBBERY BY A SHOPMAN.-Gecrge May, who had been in the employment of Mr. fiutchins, baker, of John's-lane, as shopman for five or six years, was brought up by Lay cock and Scott, detectives, on a charge of having stolen several sums of money. Mr. Hutchins missed money from time to time, and suspecting the prisoner, he marked some and sent for the officers, who watched, and found the prisoner had taken .5s on Thursday. The prisoner confessed having taken the money. Mr. Hutchins said he did not wish to press the charge. The prisoner was remanded. mium.wwass, - • - - DISASTROUS AND FATAL COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.. On Wednesday evening a large ship belonging to Dublin, called the York, laden with timber from Quebec, arrived in the river, bringing intelligence of a fatal collision which took place early on last Thursday morning week, between the ships Yeoman, of Liverpool, and the Helen Hedgers, of tha same port, at a point between the Tuscar Rock and Ballycotton Island, and having on board thirty-two persons, who were the survivors of the crews of these vessels. The Yeoman, of 1,100 tons, commanded by Captain Colquhoun, was on her passage from Liverpool to America with a cargo of salt. The Helen Hedgers, of about the same com manded by Captain Harris, with a valuable miscellaneous cargo, worth upwards of twenty thousand pounds, was homeward bound from Calcutta. About three o'clock on the morning above-mentioned, a strong breeze blowing, and the weather being very thick, the vessels came into collision with each other. The Yeoman had her star board tacks on board, and the Helen Heilgers was sailing very fast before the wind, and the latter vessel struck the former violently at her fore-rigging, knock ing in her side. \ l / 4 ithin eight minutes afterwards the Yeoman went down. Four of her crew succeeded in clinging to the bowsprit rigging of the Helen Heilgers, but one of them is missing, and only three have escape I, the names of whom are John King, Thomas Jason, and Alfred Creigh ton. All the rest of the ship's company, including the captain and officers, and numbering nineteen souls, perished. The Helen Heilgers was greatly injured by the shock, and the utmost efforts were made with the pumps to keep her afloat. At eight o'clock the same morning the York came to her assistance, and took off her captain and crew of twenty-nine men, together with the three sailors belonging to the Yeoman. After ,ernaining for upwards of two hours alongside the Helen Heilgers, the York left her in a sinking state with eighteen feet of water in the hold, and the sea washing her gunwales. From that time until Thursday, the York contended wilh adverse winds and bad weather in making her passage up channel, and only gained the port of Dublin on Wednesday evening, as already stated. On her arrival the surviving sailors of the two unfortunate vessels were received into the Sailors' Home, where every attention w:ls paid to their wants by the chief of that institution, Mr. Marshall. They spoke in terms of praise of the manner in which they had been treated on board the York by Captain Farlane and his ship's company. COUNTY COURT Y E STERDAY, (BEFORE JOSEPH POLLOCK, ESQ., JUDGE.) THOMPSON v. FORDE.—The plaintiff in this case was the owner of salt works, at Northwich, having offices in Eagle-chambers,• Fenwick-street, Liverpool, and the defendant was captain and part owner of a vessel, called the Marshal Pelissier. Mr. Hime appeared for the plaintiff, wad Mr. Almond for the defence. The amount claimed was el 2 15s, being the value of 30 tons of Prussian rocksalt, at 8s 6d per ton. The case for the plaintiff was, that a person named Hughes, who was a man frequently employed in the operation of salting vessels, a seasoning process necessary for some voyages, came to the agent of the plaintiff, in Liverpool, and gave an order for salt, for the Marshal Pelissier. Mr. Bowden, the agent, com municated with Northwich, and a flat load was sent down on the 21st of last August. The flat was taken to the Brunswick Dock, where the vessel was lying. Captain Forde asked how much salt was there ? and the master of the flat, a person named Buckley, said there were 33 tow. Captain Forde required to have the salt weighed, on which the master of the flat said that process would cause a great waste of time, and offered to let him have the 33 tons as 30 tons. The captain assented to this, and, turning to the shipkeeper, told him to sign the invoice for 30 tons. The invoice was signed and handed back to Buckley. It ran thus :—" From John Thompson, Eagle-chambers, 13, Fenwiok-street, Liverpool, 21st August, 1856, to the owners of the Marshal Pelissier, 33 tons Prussian rock salt.' The salt was put on board the ship. Subsequently, when Mr. Bowden, the agent of the plaintiff, called for payment, the captain said he had paid the amount to Hughes, who had been employed to salt the ship, and who gave the order for the salt. It appeared that Hughes had made an agreement with the captain to salt the vessel at the rate of 8s 6d per ton of salt, being 6s per ton for the article, and 2s 6d for his labour. The captain, not having looked very closely at the invoice which bore the name of the plaintiff, thought Hughes was the perso❑ to be paid, and accordingly handed him the money. Under these circumstances, the plaintiff claimed to hold the captain liable. Mr. Almond contended, for the defence, that as Hughes was the person employed by the captain to salt the vessel, and as the salt had come through his instrumentality, the captain was fully warranted in draw. .ino the conclusion that he was the party to be paid. His Honour said it was a very hard case, no doubt, for Hughes had robbed one of two persons, and the question only was, which of the two honest persons should suffer for the dishonesty ? He was bound to adhere to the prin ciple of law, which had been frequently decided, not only in that court, but in the superior courts, that if a party receives goods with an invoice from a particular indi vidual, he must take care to pay that individual. Now, this invoice had been received by Captain Forde, who, no doubt, was telling the exact truth when he said that he had not. read it over very carefully, but took it to be all right. By handing over the invoice to the shipkeeper, he made the shipkeeper his agent, who signed as owing the money to John Thompson, the plaintiff. it was quite clear, therefore, that he was bound to pay the money to John Thompson or his authorised agent. He did not pay him, but paid a person named Hughes, who was not an agent of the plaintiff, and, therefore, he was clearly liable to plaintiff for the value of the salt. His Honour accordingly gave a verdict for £9, being the value of the salt supplied, deducting the amount of the labour. LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT (BEFORE MR. COMMISSIONER PERRY.) In re BRINDLEY.—This case was resumed on the sitting of the court, at eleven o'clock, yesterday. Mr. Aspinall appeared for the bankrupt, and Mr. Simon appeared to oppose the allowance of the certificates on behalf of the assignees and all the creditors. The bankrupt was examined at considerable length by Mr. Simon. He stated that he ceased to be one of the masters at Swinford Hos pital in 1839, and that he came to Chester in 1841. During the interval he was occupied as a public lecturer against infidelity, but chiefly socialism, and he derived from this pursuit an income of £3OO a year, exclusive of travelling expenses. Testimonials in the shape of cash presents, amounting to between £BOO and £9OO, were also given to him by various towns throughout England. In 1842, he took Tarvin Hall, near Chester, just previous to which he received presents amounting to about £6OO, from Prince Albert, the Queen Dowager, and several members of the nobility and gentry. He purchased £3OO worth of furniture at different sales, and had then about £3OO over and above his debts, to carry on the school. The average number of his pupils, after the first three years, and during the remaining seven, was 100, and with that. number his income was about £5,000 a year; but, in addition to his other outgoings, he alleged that ho spent not less than £4,000 or £5,000 on Tarvin Hall during his tenancy. In order to meet the expenses of the school, he borrowed .t'2.155 from Mr. Ducker, of Chester, on the 17th May, 1846, and the promissory note which he gave in return ran thus :—" On demand, I pro mise to pay .W 2.155 16s, with interest at the rate of 5 per cent., &c., value received in 90 hogsheads of tobacco." He denied that this transaction wa4 a purchase of the tobacco to be realised by him, and declared that, at the time he signed the note, he took no notice of the conclud ing portion of it. He merely borrowed the money; and Mr. Pucker, not having the cash by him, gave him an order on his brokers, Parry and Crosbie, of Liverpool, in order that they might realise the tobacco which they held for him, and hand over the money to him (the bankrupt). The tobacco, when realised, brought 600 less than the amount for which he gave the promissory note. He subsequently, on the 21st August, 1846, gave Mr. Ducker a hill of sale on his furniture at Tarvin Hall, and a warrant of attorney, and in May, 1847, he borrowed £l,BOO from Mr. Bancroft, and gave him as security a mortgage on his freehold property, and a warrant of attorney. Mr. Simon here put in two letters, written by the bankrupt to Mr. Walker of Chester, at the end of 1848, to fix the date of this transaction, and to show the bankrupt's position at the time on his own admission. Mr. Walker was at the time attorney to both Mr. Ducker and the bankrupt, but in those communications the bankrupt intimated that they were confident. [Mr. Aspinall observed that it was a singular thing for an attorney to produce the confidential letters of a person who was once his client. Happily, it was not the practice with Liverpool solicitors.] Mr. Simon replied, that if there were any blame in the matter, it was in having pat in the letters without first having read them. Mr. Walker laboured under a misconception of his position, as in those very letters the bankrupt requested him to com municate the circumstances mentioned in them to Mr. Ducker. But rather than Mr. Walker should be subject to any remarks affecting his professional character, he (Mr. Simon) would, with the permission of the court, withdraw the letters: Mr. Aspinall expressed himself as quite willing to acquiesce in such a course. He did not impute to Mr. Walker anything but the want of proper caution in pro ducing inch letters. His Honour observed that it might be that Mr. Walker had overlooked the last paragraph of the letters containing the intimation of their confidential cha racter. The letters were then withdrawn. The bankrupt was then examined touching the deed of arrangement with his creditors in 1850, and the circumstances under which he took Abbots Grange in 1852, and on which he said he expended in alterations, £3,900. The examination was adjourned at a quarter past four o'clock to eleven o'clock this day.

STOWE ON TEMPERANCE AND THE NEW PRESIDENT.— The supporters of the temperance movement sent through the Earl of Harrington an invitation to Mrs. Stowe to attend a public meeting in Derby, in order that a congra tulatory address might be presented to her. The Earl of Harrington accompanied the invitation with one from himself, requesting the honour of a visit from Mrs. Stowe and her husband (Professor Stowe) at Elvaston Castle, during their stay in the neighbourhood. Mrs. Stowe declined the invitation, as her husband was ebliged to leave England to resume his official duties, and she was unwilling to undergo the reception of an address unas sisted by him. in her letter to the Earl of Harrington she speaks of the advantage which the Main Liquor law has been to the State, and adds t--" My heart warms with satisfaction at the beginning of the cause in England. rejoice that the splendid accessions of your lOrdship's rank and position are being made instruments in the great cause of human improvement, and I trust that the English and American oaks which have been planted together in your beautiful grounds, in commemoration of the inauguration of this cause in England, may grow and mingle their branches together—emblems of our national union in every work of peace and goodwill to men. It is my belief, from observation and travel in England and Scotland, that almost all the poverty and misery of the lower classes now arises from the traffic in intoxicatin g drinks. In no country has benevolence been more ener getic and the progress of social reform more rapid. The benevolent works of England strike a stranger as really stupendous, yet this one cause seems to nullify all and keep up misery, vice, and distress. it seems to me that there is now scarcely any cause of poverty and distress which the suppression of the liquor traffic would not remove. Since:emigration to the colonies has equalised the popu lation, it would seem as if there might be money enough and work enough to support the whole labouring popu lation, were it not for the enormous taxation and drain of ardent spirits. The view of your great cities flaming nightly with signs of 'rum, brandy, and gin,' is to the eyes of an American as appalling as the slave market of our Southern States to an Englishman. With the ma jority of our respectable Poplilatiqn in New England these articles are considered as pertaining only to the de partment of medical practice, and if we have them in our houses at all, it is with the same precaution and watch fulness that we use other medicines. When we see how they are P u b li P l 7 Obtruded on the eye here every night, with all the attractions Qf brilliant lighfs and splendid shops , we wonder that there are any' who escape such tem • ptations. But let us hope that our two eountries are both on the eve o f new and better things. It is our hope that the cause of lib erty in America is a . bout to triumph —that the wise and good, who too long have slumbered and slept, are awak en i ng in good earnest to wipe out the disgrace of past remissness by P ;,leing in our highest national seat a President who snall consistently uphold ' the principles of freedom." (BEFORE MR. AIKIN.) AN Aar OF GREAT CRUELTY.—A youth, who gave his name as John Gore, and who gets his living by labouring at the slaughter houses, was charged with a mostdisgraceful act of cruelty to a sheep. Police constable, No. 34, stated that at seven o'clock that morning he was on auty in Pembroke-place, when he saw the prisoner driving two sheep to the slaughter house. He ran after one of the, i and caught hold of its horn With one hand, and ts tail with the other. He then threw it up with such violence that its tail came off. The Prisoner : I could not help it ; lam sorry for it. The Magistrate : It was done through the violence you used to the poor thing. It is a most cruel ac!'. What punishment can I impose ? Mr. Garnett : You can fine him £2O. The Magistrate : Did the tail or only the skin come off ? Police Officer : He pulled the tail quite off, and the poor thing had to be immediately slaughtered. The Magistrate fined the prisoner 20s, and in default of payment committed him for one month. AN INJUDICIOUS ADVOCATE.—Amongst the many dark informations which daily come before the court, there was one ao'ainst the captain of the ship Old Heckory, lying in the Salisbury Dock, for permitting a naked light on board that vessel after the prescribed hour. Police officer 198 swore to the fact, upon which a person, who said he was the steward, and, therefore, the represent ative of the captain, appeared, and in a most violent manner, both in words and gesture, to cross-examine the officer, and wound up his last sentence by stating, that all the officer had uttered was false. The Magis'ree called upon him to produce his witnesses He did produce one, who swore that he also saw the light. At this the defen dant's representative became infuriated, and, in a regular Yankee dialect, was proceeding to denounce, in no measured terms, the magistrate, the policeman, and even the court itself, when the former reminded him that he was in an English court of justice, and if be did not keep quiet he should be locked up. He then went on to say, that it was his invariable rule, in these cases, to inflict the nominal fine of is and is costs, but, in consequence of the man's dis graceful conduct, and his having no defence, he should fine him 20s and costs. He paid the fine, and evidently regretted " the tarnation fix" he had got into. SUPPRESSION OF BROTHELS.—Yesterday, two keepers of houses of ill-fame, William Holme and John Moreland, were placed in custody for the purpose of being indicted at the sessions for that offence. Mr. Walters, the public prosecutor, was in attendance, and the ogee were with drawn, the parties being each bound over in the sum of £2O, to remove from their premises, and not repeat the offence, as they would be prosecuted, PUBLICANS' CASES.—Catherine Hughes, the keeper of a public horns in Poplar : lane, at the corner of Stanley-street, was summoned by officers 554 and 208 for having her house open on Sunday morning. The officers spoke to the fact of finding two men in the house, which the defendant admit ted, but denied that any ale or spirits bad been sold to them, they being engaged at the time in adjusting the ale pipe. The case was dismissed, TOSS WORST CLOCK 1N LivEnrooL.--Richard Lupton, publican of Vine-street, was summoned for keeping his house open for the sale of spirits after twelve o'clock on Saturday night. The police constable on duty stated, that after twelve o'clock on Saturday night he saw Mr. Lupton sell a female some whiskey. There were some men stand ing at the door at the time. Mr. Lupton ; How do you know it was past twelve o'clock' Because T beard the clock strike when I was in Abercromby-square, and I went my round before 1 came to your vaults. Mr. Lupton to the Bench : The dicer must be naistalten as to the time. I had not closed my house, but was getting some parsons out, when a female came to the door and asked for a pint of whiskey. I told her it was near the closing time, but went and got it, and gave it to her in the presence of the policeman. Do you think I should have acted so, if it had been after the time ? The Magistrate ; At any rate, it was very close shaving. Inspector Phew : polideman, what clock did you hear strike? Policeman ; The work house clock, lusoeclor Qbevr ; that is the worst clock in Liverpool t it is never to be relied On. I know that Mr. Lupton conducts his house most respectably, and has never before been summoned. Mr. Lupton : lam sure it could not be t minute after twelve, even if my clock had deceived me. Inspector Phew : The workhouse clock is twenty minutes wrong this morning. dismissed.

PUBLIC MUSEUMS.—DEPUTATION. -- Yesterday after. noon, a deputation from the committee of the Loyal Liver pool Institution, consisting of 4ir alc. P. Sainsbury, th e R ev . Rector Campbell , and Mr: T. C. Archer, waited upon the Public Library and Museums Committee, for the purpose of proposing a measure by which the museums of the Royal Institution may be thrown open to the public at an almost nominal expense. By the adoption of this proposal there would be saved a large annual expenditure, besides prelimi. nary expenses, which must result from buildi n g a public museum in connection with the Vublio Library. The museu m 04nnected with the Royal Institution is acknow ledged t o be one of the finest in the kingdom, and it is all that the t own requires, if th rown open.

It seems that there existed some ill feeling between two of the hands employed at the colliery, named Richard Dunn and Joseph Alltnark, and on Saturday morning, whilst Dunn was at work in the smithy sharpening the tools, he was suddenly attacked by Allmark with a pickaxe. He inflicted the most frightful injuries on his victim, whom he left weltering in his blood, and making off, got clear away. The unfortunate man Dunn expired shortly afterwards. An inquest has been held at Oldbury, before Ralph Docker, Esq., the coroner, on the body of Richard Dunn, and a verdict of wilful murder returned against Richard Allniark, and a warrant has been issued for his appre hension. The murderer is only eighteen years of age ; he is a native of Teviotdale, and it is supposed will try to enter the army. The above atrocious act arose from a trifling dispute respecting some mining tools. LIVERPOOL PRODUCE MARKET. REVIEW OF THE WEER.

COTTON : In the early part of the week, a very ani mated feeling prevailed in the cotton market, and the daily transactions were on an extensive scale, at prices fully 1-16 d per lb higher than the quotations of last week ; since Tuesday, the uncertainty of the future of monetary affairs, has again had a depressing effect,* and with a more moderate demand, the market for American closes tamely, but very firmly at last Friday's rates. Brazil and Eyptian in fair demand, at full rates. Surat in good request, at steady prices. The weekly sales are 61,640 bales, of which 12,190 are on speculation, and 4,390 for export. This week.

CORN : Our market to-day was tolerably well attended by local and neighbouring millers, but we had few from any great distance, many of the Yorkshire buyers having supplied themselves for the moment. With a rather better show of samples of fiuu American white and red wheat, Tuesday's prices were hardly supported, and this was the case also with the general runs, but the inferior and heated parcels were in request, and considerable quantities having been previously cleared off the market, their value improved about 23 to 31 per bushel : new Irish dull, and nominally unaltered in price. Flour scarce and rather dearer. Barley with difficulty supported; beans 6d per qr dearer ; new oats and oatmeal are taken very sparingly, and each somewhat cheaper. We have very few Irish orders executing in Indian corn, but the English demand improves ; a fair quantity has been placed to-dav at full prices, and anything extra GI per qr more than Tuesday.
