[Before Mr. PnEsToel.] THE 'GANG , OF BURGLARS.—WM. Morris, Thomas Burns, Mary Fitzpatrick, and Jane Phillips, the gaog of burglars who -stood remanded,Ncvere brought aril deteetive-officer'Scaife, charged with being concernetliin a series of -burglaries in different parts of the town. The - first case..gone into was that 'of a burglary com mitted in the house of Mr. ''Gregor, Richmond terrace, Bresk-mad, Evertor'. {)niche night of the=l3th iust., Mr. MGregor's house was entered by -some person or _persons, and a large quan tit y of pro perty was 'carried away, including silver plate, wear ing apparel, and other valuables. On the previous nigkt the house of Mr. Alfred Thornley, Blackburne terrace, Breck-road, was also entered, and two pairs of boots, a cornopean, and other articles, were- stolen therefrom. A third case of burglary was committed at the house df Mrs. Harrison, 59, iillonnt-pleasant, which was broken into on the night of the 16th instant, when a quantity of property was stolen. The fourth burglary was effected at the-house of Mrs. Hampson, Hawke-street, which was entered on the 17th instant, and robbed of various articles. The police received information of these robberies, and took steps to , discover the thieves. From information , they received, they visited the house of the woman Fitzpa trick, and 'en searching-it a large quantity of the-stolen. property was discovered. It was also,proved that seve ral articles had been pawned by the ether three pris.oners. Mr. Bina appeared for Fitzpatrick, and endeavoitred to show that she. knew nothing of the property, that it belonged to her lodgers, and that she was not to be made responsible for any of their misdeeds. Mr. Preston, however, took a different view of the case, and he com mitted the four prisoners for trial at the present sessions. THE ROBBERY OF £9. FROM A SAILOR. = , TiIiS case, which was remanded on Monday for the purpose of baying agirl apprehended, was resumed to-day. We have ' already given the particulars, and need only state that the prosecutor, William Jones, a seaman, fell in with a oirl . n rn nri rn, viIGJ, Vu r nuay night last. 'rimy proceeded to a house oc.i)l-fame, in a court off Frederick-street, where they remained for the night. On meeting the girl the prosecutor had £l3 in gold and some silver. In the morning he went away, and a ft erwar d s di scovered that he had been robbed. He went back' to a public-house where he had been drinking with the girl Jones that morning, where he met another woman, named Mary Ann Payne, who told him that he should thank her for the money he had hi his purse, £4 some odd shillings, and that if it had not been, for her he would have lost the whole of the £l3, The prisoners were committed .The,sante answer will apply to . the whole !HAT:Z3fAN Mat reason haveyoulcstate that he is the owner of the house in Chataworth-strect ?

Mr. AsprNALL agired permission to call Mr. Lathem to prove that Mr. Williams had never told him that he had told the magistrates lies. Mr. BRETHEATON wished to ewamin - e - Inspector Duggan, but the bench refused to go further into the case. The magistrates were about to retire, when Mr. BREMNER said,—l hone your venyimy retire for a moment. I see by - the papers of to-day— and they are the best of all possible instructors—that with respect to the case of Mr. Oelilhaffen it is stated that there were— The CHAIRVAN.-Will you tell us the point. Mr. BriummEit..—The point is this—that he applied for a license, and seven gentlemen voted for it and eight against it; and that' two of the gentlemen who voted against it were not qualified to vote at all. I have the act of parliament, and I will first read the clause of Nualification. It isthe 'William IV., cap. 4. lawful for his -ny persons And be it enacted, that as he shall think proper, his Majesty's commission to act as justices of the peace in and for each borough, and in and for each of the counties of cities and towns. respec tively named in the said schedule A, and in and for such of the boroughs in the schedule.

Now, if any gentleman who voted against this application does not reside within seven miles of Liverpool, he has no more right to vote than one of those gentlemen—the reporters. The CHAIRMAN.—This is not the proper tribunal. Mr BREMNER.—I think this is the proper tribunal. . The CHAIRMAN.—This is not the proper tribunal.

A dissipated-looking middle-aged woman, named Letitia Jonei, was charged with the following offence : She went into a public house, that morning, and called for "a naggin of whiskey." No sooner had she been served, than she poured it down her throat and made off. The barman followed her •and gave her into custody.' Mr. Keogh stated that the prisoner at one time was in a most res pectable position ; and that even now she could earn a good living•by dressmaking, but she had a most unfor tunate craving for drink. She had been up about 'thirty times befdre, and always for a similar offence. The magistrates' ordered her to be committed to prison COUNTY COURT.---YESTERDAY [Before J. K.

He therefore contended had not come into court with clean Mr. HINIE contended that the insolvent had obtained goods from some of his creditors when he had no means of paying for them, and that he had been guilty of obtaining the goods under fraudulent representations. His Ho nowt; after hearing the case, said he could not see that there was any false pretence. There was a certain management on the part of the insolvent to obtain the goods ; nor could he see that he had been a dishonest man previously. There had been some un fairness in the contraction of the debt, not amounting to a legal fraud—perhaps fraud was too harsh a word to use. Taking into consideration the insolvent's circum- stances and - history, while it was a case on which he could not refrain from making some remarks, he would order that the , insolvent should be discharged in three months after the date of his vesting order. vv Michael Henry .

The first annual report of 'this askoxitition has come into our hands, and we find 'the aecotutt it gives of the proceedings of the Union, clurin..!the,past year, has be en highly encouraging. Th e dbjeens ' 'to:adopt such means, through arr angemen t s w i t h book-hankers, as may secure a supply of healthy literature to the labouring classes in the lurid districts, in order to replace, if possible, that , lame circulation of pernicious bodks and publications which is now going on all over the country. As it has been well observed, " the craving low knowledge must be satisfied, and if it be not . provided with wholesome food, it will turn to that which is unwholesone, and for which, unhappily, it will not have far to go. A multi tude of irreligious and immoral, or, to say the least, unprofitable publications, are 'circulated among the people. To do, therefore, what we can to supersede them by others of a religious and moral tendency (though not, generally speaking of an exclusi v ely re li g i ous c h aracter), by publications which will blend instruction with enter tainment, and so almost insensibly enlist their readers on the side of virtue, instead of vice, must needs be an exercise of true wisdom and benevolence." Such, we find, is the excellent purpose of this Book-Hawking Union, whose patron, it is gratiffing to Observe, is His Royal Highness the Prince Consort ; and among whose presi dents are the archbishops, several of the bishops, and others of the most estimable of our nobility. We are glad to perceive that South Lancashire has its commit tee-man, in the person of Patrick Hunter, Esq., of this town ; and that a Book-Hawking Society, in connection with the Union, is in operation in this division , of the county. We cannot but think that such a society might find a most useful field for cultivation in Liverpool, as well as in the rural districts of the country around. At any rate, the Union itself is well deserving of public support, as an agency by means of which a vast amount of practical good may, undoubtedly, be done amongst the humbler class of the people. MASSACRE OF CHRISTIANS IN BORNEO The Pao. says :—" A telegraphic despatch has an nounced, on the faith of advises received via Batavia, that a 'general massacre of the Christians took place on May 24, in the Dutch portion of the island of Borneo. That island, the largest in the world after New Holland, is peopled by a great variety of races. The Dutch possessions there comprise eighteen states, of which one only, the Kingdom of Pontianak, founded about the middle of the eighteenth century by an Arab named Abdul-Rachinan, professes the Mahometan religion. It is not on that territory, but in the empire Succa dana, where the Javanese religion prevails, th a t th e massacre in question occurred. The inhabitants of Suceadana adore Diouta, the great artificer of the world ; also the shades of their ancestors ; and, lastly, certain birds, from which they draw auguries. The horrible massacre they have committed has a political, not a religious cause. It cannot be imputed to the influence of pilgrims from Mecca, who, in addition to the consideratims above mentioned, are too remote from the Island of Borneo to affect the Mussulmans residing there. Besides, the last intelligence from the Red Sea states that the holy cities are perfectly tranquil, and .that not the least appearance of agitation had been perceived among the pilgrims. The new authorities appointed by the Sultan show equal firmness and moderation, and the recurrence of the scenes of . Djedda is most improbable. The struggle in which Abaallah Pacha is now engaged against the western tribes has nothi ng t o d o with religion. The Bedwins, against whom he is now in arms, are wander ing tribes, whose sole object is plunder. Being hard pressed, they have just abandoned the town of Yambo, after sacking it and murdering all the inhabitants who would not give up their property.

FEARFUL STEAM ACCIDENT. At Plymouth, on Tuesday evening, an accident of a very alarming character occu rre d, a t one o ' clock in the afternoon, in the Sound, on board her Majesty's screw steam sloop Pioneer, Commander Charles 11. May, under orders for the West Coast of Africa. She had some slight defects to make good, and was getting up steam for the purpose of proceeding into Hamoaze, when the main steam pipe s burst close to the communication: John .Dnnn, leading stoker, was on the point of open= ing .the communication-valve, and he suffered severely. William Bone, engineer in charge; Charles Piller, third. engineer; John Oliver, third engineer; John Dunn, lead ing stoker; Charles Devine, stoker; James Murphy, stoker ; and James Renninson, second-class boy, un fortunately rushed aft, where the steam was most dense, and were,. of course, much scalded, espe cially in their faces. Mr. Oliver's sight is affected.. Mr. J. A. Leicester, second-class engineer, prudently; shut off the communication. He escaped unin jured. The ship was speedily enveloped in' steam ; but as there was a smart south-west breeze, its effects' were most detrimental aft. The looking-glasses in the captain's cabin were shivered, and the boots shrivelled. Boats from the ships of war, with their surgeons and assistant-surgeons, were soon alongside, and the steam tender Conflance conveyed the worst cases (seven) to the Royal William victualling-yard, whence they were taken in cots to the naval hospital. The Pioneer was after wards sent into Hamoaze. By inquiries at the Royal Naval Hospital, it has been ascertained that Dunn is in a very precarious state,. and • that Mr. Bone is suffering, severely ; the others are not in great danger. Com mander • Reilly is in command of the Pioneer, and not Captain May. • THE HOLEORN UNION AND THE STRIKE.—An in quiry was made in the relief-room of the workhouse in Gray's-inn-lane, on Thursday last, whether any of the workmen thrown out of employment by the " strike," or " lock-out," had applied for relict The answer given was, that notwithstanding the 'great number of labourers in the building trade residing in the neigh bourhood of Gray's-inn-lane, Leather-lane and other parts of the union, th ere h a d no t occurred a single instance of such an application being made, and the number of recipients of out-door relief was 112 below the number at the corresponding period of last year. A poor-rate for the current half-year has, however, been made, sufficient to meet any contingency arising from a lengthened continuance of the strike. --Building News. DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT.
