THE LIVERTOO,L T:ITERARY AND DRAMATIC SOCIETY. This society gave their usual Christmas performance last night in the Clayton-hall, Clayton-square, than which perhaps there is not a building in the town better adapted, in almost every particular for such entertainments. Suf ficiently commodious to contain the numbers which will at any time, be drawn together by a private performance, no matter how excellent its character may be; it is yet not so larg - e as to require any exertion on the part of the per formers to make their voices heard throughout its whole extent. But while the hall affords this advantage, and - a very serviceablo one to amateur actor's, it has one , great defect in the smallness of the stage, which cramps their movements, and gives in consequence to the per formance an air of constraint and tameness. We were particularly struck, with this defect' in the performa.uce last night, and we sincerely , regretted it, because it increased the difficulties under which the performers, as amateurs, naturally laboured, and marred their best efforts• As for the performance itself, it was, as a whole, very eXcelleut, and received at the hands of the very numerous and respectable audience assembled to witness it, frequent marks of approbation. There was no doubt much that was faulty, both in the conception of the characters that were personified; and in the manner in which that concep tion was represented but while there were these faults_ • . many e. sequences of inex pprience, thlie llencies which received, as they 1 commendati'on The entertainment :ed of the secOad'Seene of the first act of Shaks.: re's play of 4 ' Jtilits Caesar c. drama b 3 well suss parts were at, as wets alread cl their and " The Fariner' Bayle Bernard.

She had a-pillow across- her neck which concealed part of her face, and on the removal of the pillow-it was found that her throat was cut. , :Her hands being across her breast, and in ?ter right hand wag found a razor, thc•leack of the blade being towards the deeensed, but in such a position that it was iMPosiible she could have committed- the act - hergele. These were the simple facts brought out on the trial, and upon which the jury pronounced the prisoner guilty. Since .his condettination the prisoner has scarcely made' any alltisitm to the awful •crime for which he has to suffer death.

He is of the middle size, and rather inclined to b 3 thin, but on the' trial his features were regular and placid; appeared careworn and 'dejected. F)r the last few days various rumours have been circulated throu2h- out the, town—some statin' that he had mule a full con • fession of his guilt to the worthy chaplain, and had then attempted to commit suicide; others: - stated that he had protested his innocence of the crime of s hich he had been convicted. Neither of these reports, however, are based on truth as in the first place, he has been' too closely watched by the goyernor, Mr. Gibbs, and the turnkeys of the bridewell, to carry out the farmer suggestion, and With regard to the latter, even when attended by the Rev. Mr. Appleton, the chaplain of the bridewell, to whose duty it fell to adininister to him Spiritual comfort and advice, he has avoided, as much as possible, alluding to the crime of which he has been convicted. The culprit has not made any confession. His conflict has been orderr, bnt it woald, even in hi.; almost last moments, b 3 prema ture to estimate the probable extent to which the spiritual ministrations of the worthy chaplain will proYe bene ficial; Already the scaffold is . erected at the North West side of the Kirkdale jail, upon whirl: the disgusting scene of a public execltion will take place this day at twelve o'clock, when, if we may judge from former exhi bitions of a similar character, we do not doubt, there will he assembled herds of reprobates and criminals, the refuse of society, to witness the dying agonies of a murderer. All doubt: as to the execution taking place this day has bee,n set at rest, as an answer has berm received from the Home Secretary, refusing to' entertain the petition of a memorial, sent to him by some persons who are opposed to capital punishment, for the mitigation of th of death, to that of transportation.

The receipts of the London and Blackwall railway for the half year are 35,1927, against 38,3291 for the correspon tlitig period ' ending Christmas, 1854. It is stated that this decrease is in a great measure due to the transference to Portsmouth of much of the business connected with the government transport service.

THE EMBEZZLEMENTS BY A SUPERINTENDENT OF PoiacE.--The late Superintendent of Police at South Shields, named Buglass, was tried at the Durham Sessions on Monday last on a charge of having fraudulently em bezzled divers sums of money, the monies of the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of South Shields. The jury, in returning their verdict of guilty, recommended the pri soner to mercy, on the ground that "he had previously borne - a good character, - and that he had fallen into diffi.- c4lies.” The. Chairman sentenced the prisoner to one year's hard labour. • Dirnot.Ani:—On Tuesday night the housekeeper of Mr sland, stationer and engraver, Nos. 1 and 2 John ( retiring to rest, discOvered three men in the Cell immed I one of them, 1' le commenced, during which uost a( blows were ,give of murder now began to a one of whom w about t delivered blo ot heavy him to the but have slue Peen taken into eustod ruffians decamped, considers him much changed in and demeanour sinc3 last wee,,, • - a letter from hig son-in-I The culprit mm to tie quick, ana recurring fully expectsilleywood.will make s trial don executioner, Ca hall publish further parti, Mn as the sentence of the law has been carried into EXTENSIVE PREPARATIONS IN LIVER. POOL FOR THE ENSUING CAMPAI( - w That government. believe that. the hollow prc Lions which are just now being „promul gated by' diplo- matists, are not likely .to end in peaceful issu( may be inferred from the extensive preparations which are being made all over the country for renewing hostilities during the ensuing spring. What is doing in the principal foundries throughout, the kingdom may be judged from the activity diiplayed in Liverpool alone, where the following immense amount of 'war material ig in process of construc tion. First of all may be mentioned the name of Mr. John Laird, the well-known shipbuilder, who has, in his yards at Birkenhead and Liverpool, fourteen wooden screw gun boats, already far - advanced in construction, of 240 tons, and 'about 60 horse power eacb, to be armed with two heavy guns .a-piece. 'lt is said that government are so well satisfied with the progress ; already; made, that they have this week doubled Mr. Laird's order so that he will now have twenty-eight vessels of war on hand. Then at the Mersey Steel and Iron Works, in addition to the monster wrought-iron gun which they are going to present to government, and which is to be 15 feet long, 13 inch bore, 25 tons weight, and capable 'of throwing a ball of 300!hs. a distance of five miles, they have been 'commissioned to make two enormous wrought iron mortars, which will be charged with nearly two cwt. for each charge, and throw shells of 36 inches diameter. This siz) an I description of mortar will be quite unparalleled, but great confi fence is felt as to the result of the experiment. At Messrs. Forrester and, Co.'s, Vauxhall Foundry, between 7,000 and 8,000 tons of 8, 10 and 13-inch shell have been turned out during the last six months. Indeed, 1,400 tons of these projectiles have been'shipped iDtt* to Woolwich during the last ten days, besides two, or three dozen 10-inch and 13-inch Mortars for sea and land service. There are two immense cast iron mortars making at this establishment, to throw 18-inch shells. This is 5 inches more diameter than any shell previously ,made in this country ; but the Russian Whistling Dick" at Sebastopel was a 15. inch shell. The first of . the large mortars was taken Out - of the mould this week, and the .mass of metal in that state of which it is composed weighs twenty-five tons. The workmen have borrowed Punch's idea, and humorously nicknamed it the " Palmerston Pacificator." Then again, at Messrs. Fawcett, Preston and Co's the same activity prevails. They are m anufacturing, it is understood, about 90 of the largest class (13. inch) mortars, 60 for the sea, and 40 for land sefyice. Although, the same bore, the difference in the size of land and sea service mortars is far greater than most persons would imagine. For instance, the land service mortar, when 'finished and ready fbr delivery, weighs about cwt. ; the sea service mortar, about 103 cwt.,' or upwards of five tons ! TI difference is necessary, in order to en the force of the recoil The ordnance are now very partic ar about the quality of the mortar metal, a with each wort a ring of the metal of which it is cast, cut from just at the mouth of the mortar. From 'all this, it will be that the governn vent ar t last deterinined to pur war with vigour i CAmpaign.
