A DEAD LIFT.—Mrs. Catherine Kermode, residing at 1, Gregory-place, Gerard -street, charged a stout looking fellow, named Bartholomew Cooke, with having picked her pocket of a purse and a shilling, under the following strange circumstances. The complainant was attending a funeral in St. John's Church-yard, and was standing close to the grave whilst the coffin was being covered in. She felt some one push her from behind, but did not suspect anything wrong on such an occasion. The pres sure continued, and she was nearly pushed into the grave. She then turned round, and felt the prisoner at her pocket, and at the same moment, several bystanders observed the prisoner take the purse. He was seized, and the property found upon him. He was then given into custody, and but fur the interference of some humane persons who were at the funeral, the probability was, that the prisoner would himself have been made a subject for a grave. The prisoner said he was hungry, (he had neither the appearance of hunger nor want, for he was well dressed), and could not get any thing to do. He would go into the army, navy, or any other " mortal place." (Laughter.) Ile was strong and willing to fight for his Queen and country, and he had the courage of a lion. (Loud laughter.) The magistrate said the army would be disgraced by such a fellow. The prisoner was committed for trial. CHARGE AGAINST A SHOPMAN.—A young man of highly respectable appearance, and dressed in fashion able attire, who gave his name as Henry Johnston, was charged with stealing a quantity of candles, lard, oil, and other articles of grocery, belonging to Mr. Hugh Plat, grocer, Scotland-road. It appeared that some time before Christmas, the prisoner was employed to assist in the shop of the complainant, and that in consequence of something which Mrs. Plat told her husband, the lodgings of the prisoner were searched, and the property named which the prosecutor alleged had been stolen from his shop, was found there. In reply to Mr. Bluck, who appeared for the prisoner, the complainant said the prisoner was only engaged temporarily before Christmas. He owed him about 30s, and the prisoner called for the amount. Mr. Bluck examined the wit ness at some length, and then produced a lady named, Mrs. Barr, who resides at 41, Edmund-street, Park, where the prisoner lodged, and she stated that some of the things now produced belonged to her, and were purchased with her money. She knew the prisoner for six months, and he was a respectable young mar. The magistrate said it was a case of suspicion only, but he could not act on suspicion, and therefore the prisoner must be discharged. SAD CASE.—A very handsome young girl (about nine teen years of age), whose name appeared on the sheet as Louisa Montague —no doubt a fictitious one—was charged with stealing £2 5s from a Miss Thompson, of 29, Finch-street, and also some wearing apparel belong ing to a young woman, named Anne Wilkinson, who lives with Thompson. The story of the complainant was this—The prisoner (they said), called at the house on Saturday night, and asked to remain. They allowed her -to do so, and on Wednesday she left, taking the money from a drawer, in which Thompson had put it, telling the prisoner at the time, she was about to send it into Yorkshire. She also took the clothes belonging to Wilkinson, and nearly all the money, and the clothes were found in the possession of the prisoner, who was about proceeding to Dublin. The prisoner said she had been in ,Liverpool about ten weeks, h av i ng b een i nduced to come there by a peison from Dublin, but she got disgusted with her habits of living, and resolved to return to her friends in Dublin. She admitted having taken the money and clothes, lint she intended remitting the amount from Dublin, as her friends were respect able, and would assist her. The prisoner, who wept bitterly all the time she was before the court, was remanded for seven days (BEFORE MR MANSFIELD) DETAINING A SAILOR'S NOTE.—Sarah Dunne, the wife of a sailor, summoned Anne Williams for detaining her husband's pay-note. Mr. Chilton attended for the com plainant, and Mr. Bluck appeared for the defendant. The case was this :—The husband of complainant went to sea in June last, leaving. her his pay-note to draw half his wages, £2 10s. a month, whilst he was away. The defendant was in the habit of advancing money on the deposit of the note. A dispute had arisen with respect to the account between the parties, the complainant alleging that she paid all the loans to the defendant, the latter maintaining the contrary, and detaining the note as a security. Mr. Bluck contended that under the sth and 6th Vic., chap. 106, sec. 304, the case could not be decided in that court. Mr. Mansfield was of the same opinion, and dismissed the case. THE BOLD DRAGOONS.— Henry Quick and Charles Jones, two of Sir John Gerard's yeomanry cavalry, and .John Woodcroft, were charged with being drunk -and fighting in Leece-street. The police heard a great noise, and on going to ascertain the cause, they found the dragoons on the flags, with their swords drawn, and all in a fighting position. They were fined ss. each. MORE FIGHTING.—Mr. James Mullin, described as a tea dealer and poor-law guardian, and Mr. James Ellis, were charged with fighting in Dale-street. It appeared that some dispute arose at a tavern about the payment of some money, and Mr. was followed out into the street by Mr. Mullin, to bring him back. The fight arose here, and Mr. Mullin got the worst of it, for both his eyes were blackened. He was discharged, and Mr. Ellis fined 20s. HOARY OLD SINNERS TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES.

Sir,—Allow me to ask, through the medium of your columns, one question in reference to the case of extreme hardship from the Forbes M'Kenzie Act, detailed in your paper to-day. Is it a real fact that the law absolutely forbids a pub lican to admit into his house, or to give liquor to, or to sell other refreshments to, a person in the state described ? If I understand the law aright he may do either of these things, and, therefore, I wou ld say the fault was with the inhuman publican who refused to admit a ship wrecked mariner into his house because forsooth he could not sell him drink !I The friends of the law should know that the publicans have pledged themselves to get. it repealed, "if possible." That it has diminished drunken ness one-sixth, and pr9duced a quiet Sabbath is nothing to them ; it has emptied their pockets, and that is all-in all to a man who calculates upon Sunday debauchery as ;e•adesmen do upon a market day.—'V s:rkr 'lead, Jan. 16, 1856_ other t ours, &c., JOHN T. NOHILIS, THE DONCASTER' PAWNBROKING CASE ---..---- TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—l am surprised that you pass unnoticed the case of Mr. Jackson, the pawnbroker in Doncaster. It is dreadful to think that so respectable a man should be dragged to jail at a moment's notice, merely because his wife could not, in her conscience, lend more than five shillings on a diamond ring, which might have been paste. What could the poor do without pawnbrokers ? Do cot they give to the poor what to them is :most valuable at the time ? They are the poor man's banker, and if they do charge a high rate of interest for their money, the legislature is to blame. They certainly do no more than bankers are doing at the present moment, when they ask and receive high discounts in a time of pressure. Pawnbroking was introduced before Peel abolished the usury laws, thereby allowing the rich man's banker to ask what interest he pleased; and it is too had that he should have allowed pawnbrokers to remain under a usury law which is the case at present. They can demand only twenty-five per cent., whereas, in many instances where the poor are hard pressed for money, they might demand an extra five or ten per cent., as well as the B an k o f England. Private bill discounters, and bankers, have no restrictions placed on them, and seeing that no merchant or broker can obtain money without pledging his stock when he gives his bill,'! do not see why pawnbroking, which was meant. to help the poor man in his necessities, should be held up to public odium. Pawnbrokers are a highly respectable and wealthy class of wen, and there are few trades in which a man may loose money sooner than theirs, if great care is not taken. For instance, Mr. Jackson has been exposed to public ignominy for doing that which any other pawnbroker might have done in a moment of inadvertence. You will probably say that it is the system which is defective. This every pawnbroker will readily concede, but until some other plan for relieving the wants of the poorer classes be devised, their trade must be protected from hasty magisterial decisions.

The property is strictly Highland in its character ; has valuable fishing in the river Shiel, with grouse and other game, and a large tract of country susceptible of improvement. BREAKING INTO A NUNNERY. --Three young men were charged at Leeds Police Court, on Monday, with breaking into the nunnery in York -road. Evidence baying been given for the prosecution, proving the entry into the nunnery by the defendants, and their arrest by the police, one of the prisoners (Jennings) made the following statement :—On Saturday night I and my two friends went down to the Queen, on the Roundhay-road, to play at bagatelle, and had About twelve o'clock at night we left, , ere nearly drunk. We went straight something to drinl and I must say WE from there d , and n .. . vn into Kirkgate, and thought we should have wgl, got in. one We of commenced friends eneed hing further, and we then agreed to go t o the foundnunnery. a gotWe e ow open,eikicking up a row in the place. We did not kn ow what we were doing, and threw several things not on l y about the place, but also out of the window. W e h ear d an alarm and got out of the place. We made littl e or no effort to get away. We were, however, seized a nd b rought up. There was a fourth person with n s , w h o i s not in custody. Mr. J. M. Barret, for th e d e f ence , sa i d that the prisoners deepl wi ov ;n thde we wall, regretted the offence of which they were guilty. The pri soners were severely reprimanded, and fined £5 each, 1 TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—Blackwood' s M agaz i ne , f or J anuary, opens with an Bill. The Ill ustrated Lon d on N ews article, entitled th e G o ld S crew , w hi c h g i ves a rapid resume of the inflictions on trade, perpetrat e d b y P ee l' s gives a page nearly every week to th e quest i on of currency; and Tait's Maga ene has also devoted some pages to the same subject. The Times. the Globe, the Sun, and 'Morning Post, carry on an intermittent warfare. But we have no-where seen the question openly mooted, what principle is to be recognised as our future monetary basis? Are we to have, in short, paper convertible into gold on demand, or inconvertible paper—that is, paper ;which does not " promise to pay gold ? " There are " three Richmonds in the field." First. come the upholders of the bill of 1844, with " Mercator " (of the Times), at their head, flanked by the advocates for the old bill of 1819, who maintain that the note should be convertible into gold, and that the fourteen millions of additional paper, which has no base, is the very sum that is needed (be it 1856, or 1847, or 1844,) to make the bill practicable in working. The small section of opinion, which would abolish all paper, and bring us down in very truth to gold, and gold only, is so very small, that it need not be raised to the dignity of classifi cation. is a large and undisciplined force, without fixity of idea, who would have a superstructure of paper '• promises to pay, I need not say, would falsify their promises in an exact ratio to' their' preponderance over their base—to their excess beyond the store of metal which is to fulfil their promise. The third party, who are not numerous, but mho do not totally abnegate logic, and who recognise Mr. John Taylor, (author of the Catechism on the Currency,) as their head, advocate inconvertible paper issued by government alone for internal circulate and of course only available the colonies. These recog nise as a principle .._ Axation ought to be added to price principle. denounced by their opponents as a mere cloak for depreciation. This school recognises labour, industry, skill, and intelligence as the source of all wealth, and, therefore, as the spring and fountain-head all money. They maintain that when governments -astitute al question—and when governments b in a fatal moment fixed on a scarce, and sometimes unattainable metal, thus losing sight of the very principle of symbolisa tion, they aggravated the load of taxation. This aggrava tion will appear obvious when it is considered that the man who, under the old system, might easily enough give up one ox of a herd consisting of a thousand head, might not so easily be able to command silver or gold, and that to meet the demands of the government in " legal tender," he might be under the necessity of giving three oxen for the stipulated weight of gold or silver. As io the form of note, it certainly would not be a "promise to pay gold," for that would be to deny their first principle. It would necessarily take the form of the Exchequer Bill ; and this note would be endowed with all the significance of "legal tender for debts and th . xes," by the mere fact of its being recognised by government as an acquittance of taxes. This is only restoring to government its old prerogative of issuing money. As'to the fear of over-issue, this is a bugbear which may soon be dispelled. Let parliament, by annual vote, decide how many millions are to be issued for the year, and how many are to be cancelled. Paper money does not make wealth. No quantity of paper money issued under unsettled governments amongst an idle population could make wealth ; but the immense accumulations, and the well-organised and effective indus try, aided by machinery, of England, would give a signi ficance and value to any instrument of exchange her rulers might fix upon. It is idle to quote Buenos Ayres and the French assignats. Parliament is about to meet--right or wrong,_ the bill of 1e.14 must come on. Th e present high price of money__ the threatened loans —the increasing taxation—will drive our merchants and manufacturers from their attitude of ensouciance. The voice of Liverpool will be listened to with attention if she has anything to say to the purpose. Are our Members prepared ? Are they "well up in the controversy ? If they have the nerves of ordinary men, their responsible position must weigh heavily upon them. Mr. Macaulay in his study may eulogise the financiers of William the Third's time, and hold their example up for our guidance ; but Mr. Horsfall and Mr. Ewart must know that questions of finance have since then assumed gigantic proportions. Our national debt would have made Mon tague and Godolphin stand aghast. In their days the United States had no existence. California and Australia were terrce incognita. The Indian Empire was in its infancy. Liverpool was a fishing hamlet. Manchester a small town of weavers. There were no canals, no rail ways, and no electric telegraph ! Since then we have had Baonaparte and his wars;—those wars necessitated Pitt's fianancial measures. The keystone to those financial measures was inconvertible paper. Will not the war with Russia compel us to leave the timid counsels of our fore fathers, and drive us to the same expedient ? Time will show.—l am, sir, yours, &c., J. H.
