BULLION IMPORTS AND _EXPORTS. TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. SIR,—I hope you will excuse my taking the liberty to point out a serious mistake into which I notice you, as well as other gentlemen of the Press, are apt to fall, in respect to the imports and exports of the precious metals, and the deductions to be drawn therefrom. In your paper of to-day, you give an account of the imports and exports of gold, for the last three weeks, and you bring yourself to the conclusion that the balance of X 446,621 "is left in the hands of the public," simply because it is not in the Bank. Now, the fallacy you are labouring under is this— You assume that the various amounts of bullion, as they leave the country, are made known to the public. But the fact is, that large sums of the pre cious metals are constantly going out, of which there is no entry at the Custom-house, or any other public record kept. If you keep this fact steadily in view, you will not be so much at a loss to account for the balance of imports over exports. You are aware that when various like individuals trade together, and there arises a balance between them, it is usually settled by an interchange of money. The balance of trade between England and the continent of Europe has been very de cidedly against the former for several months back, as incontestibly proved by the course of exchange being continually adverse. So long as this state of things continues, a constant current outwards of gold and silver will continue, although a consider able portion of the same will disappear quite un known and unobserved to the public. In addition to the commercial indebtedness of England to the nations with whom she is trading, requiring bullion to liquidate the balance, there must always be a considerable amount of coin going out in the pockets of emigrants; and there is cer tainly a not insignificant portion of the precious metals bought as they arrive for consumption in the arts and sciences. The demand for this last named purpose is daily increasing in this country, but more especially so in France. 1 would respectfully submit, Sir, that if you will take the above suggestions into your grave consi deration you will cease to express your " astonish ment" at what you are pleased to designate " the utter shallowness of the reasons assigned as an ex cuse for demanding the present high rates of dis count. If you desire to know the reason why the course of trade seems to be so much against England on the balance, I advise you to turn to the import side of the Board of Trade returns. It is a very ready conclusion that you and other editors gene rally arrive at, to say that our national trade is in a very flourishing condition because our exports show a large increase upon every monthly return Having brought yourselves to the conclusion that our external trade is flourishing, you are at a loss to conceive what becomes of the bullion. But if you would turn to the other side of the account, and try to form an estimate of the value of our im ports, you would at once find a solution to your difficulties. I have attempted to estimate the value of our imports as furnished by the Board of Trade, for the last nine months ; the result of my estimate is, that our imports amount to about thirty millions sterling over and above the same for a corresponding period last year. Now, our exports of manufactures, as you are aware, are said to have amounted to twelve millions over and above the exports of last year ; but if our imports are thirty more, it is quite clear that there is a balance of eighteen millions to be provided for in some way, before the account can be squared. This one great fact will at once explain how it is that the balance of trade should be so much against England, and that the course of exchange should be so adverse. I hope you will receive this communication as intended, that is, simply as a respectful correction of the errors into which I conceive that you and other editors are continually falling.—Yours, &c. H. C. LANGTON. Monday, November 21, 1853. THE CASE OF THE GUIDING STAR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. Stn,—Will you allow me through the medium of your columns to place before the public a few re marks in connection with the case of the Guiding Star, for which I was summoned before the police court, at the instance of Captain Schomberg, the emi gration officer of this port. It is because I believe that I have been harshly and arbitrarily dealt with by that gentleman, that I ask you to insert this letter, in addition to the reports of the case which have appeared in to-day's papers. I was summoned on four separate charges, namely—for not serving the passengers (steerage) with " cooked" provisions daily ; for taking down an open bulkhead between decks ; for removing four water-closets from the upper deck ; and for taking down an additional hospital placed between decks. These will cer tainly appear to any one, at first sight, to be very serious charges, but under what circumstances were they incurred ?—at a time when the ship was in a disabled state, and when a fearful disease was raging among the passengers. The Guiding Star left the Mersey on Thursday, the 27th ult., with 518 passengers. On the third day of being out, we encountered a heavy gale, which did the vessel so much damage, that I was compelled to bear up for Liverpool again. Up to this time there had not been the slightest com plaint from any of the passengers, nor did I receive any intimation of dissatisfaction being felt by them, till I heard that I was to be summoned by Captain Schomberg, after the ship had been back here a full week. Now let me endeavour to answer the charges as they were made. First, as to the daily supply of cooked provisions. I was convicted for serving provisions weekly instead of daily. If this is violat ing the law, why do Captain Schomberg and his officials set us the example, by insisting that we shall serve out a week's provisions to the passengers before they will clear out the vessel ? Such was done in my case, and is well known to be their rule in all others. With regard to the not ". cook ing" the provisions, I will merely observe that there was a man on board whose sole duty was to cook the provisions when brought to him by the passengers, and if any neglect occurred, it was en tirely owing to the confusion occasioned by the passengers themselves after the ship met with the disaster. Now as to the matter of removing the bulkhead, the additional hospital, and the four water (closets, the only answer I need give to this is to refer to the evidence (as given in to-day's papers) of Mr. Alexander Stewart, the surgeon belonging to the ship, and accredited by the emi gration officials themselves. Mr. Stewart told the magistrates that it was at his suggestion—nay, in deed that he had even insisted on my taking such a step—that I had done so ; and I will ask, was I not justified in acting thus, when importuned to do so by the doctor of the ship, who is the right ful representative of the emigration authorities when at sea? For jdoing so, however, I was fined £lO, besides the £5 for serving out provi sions weekly instead of day by day, and I have a right, therefore, to consider myself harshly dealt with. If the charges had been made by Captain Schom berg from a sense of duty alone, I should not have felt the matter so keenly, but I cannot help think ing that he has been actuated by some personal feeling against myself in this affair. Perhaps he can understand what I allude to in making such a remark To show what an appreciation Mr. Mans field, the presiding magistrate, had of the real merits of the case, I may add that in summing up, before adjudicating, he said, " it was gratifying to hear the evidence given for the defence, as it proved that the captain (myself) and his officers had be haved generally to the passengers with kindness (!) The act of parliament, however, left him no discre tion, but he would inflict the lowest penalty in each case." So much for what the magistrate thought of my alleged " offences." I consider the foregoing explanation due to my own character as a man of feeling, and am, Sir,—Yours respectfully, R. D. ROBERTSON. November 22, 1853. P. S.—ln reference to the statement made by one of Captain Schomberg's witnesses —Robert Allan—that he had been served with half a week's provisions only at Belfast, I would just remark that I was in Liverpool at the time, having come over for a steam tug, to tow the vessel here, and that I had left no orders to servo out less than the usual quantity. R. D. R. The Earl and Countess Constance Grosvenor are at pre sent staying at Calverley House, near Tarporley, Cheshire. Tan LATB PRINCESS ESTERHAZY. — The mortal remains of the late ranch-regretted Princess Nicholas Esterhazy will be removed from this country for interment in the family mausoleum of the Prince Esterhazy, at Vienna. SELECT VESTRY. The usual fortnightly meeting of this body was held yes terday, the Rev. Rector CAMPBELL in the chair. The other members present were Messrs. Hand, Moss, Crawford, Luff, Denton, Hughes, Wilmer, Johnson, J. Jones, W. Jones, Shaw, Whitty, Gardner, Bradley, Sumners, Hutchinson, Came, and Clarke. CHARGES AGAINST MR. BRADLEY. The minutes of the special meeting of the vestry having been read, Mr. GARDNER said that he had seen by the correspondence that had taken place it the papers, that Mr. Hodson had re fused to state any charge against Mr. Bradley. Mr. DENTON : He has not refused to do so—he has only done so, pending the inquiry before the committee of the council. The CHAIRMAN : Oh ! let us take no notice of it. The subject then dropped. FINANCE COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee contained no features of interest. __ Mr. CARNE moved the confirmation of the proceedings. Mr. LITIT directed attention to the death of Mr. Parr, and reminded the vestry that unless his place was filled up before Sunday next, the vestry would lose the privilege of making the appointment. Mr. BRADLEY said the necessary steps had been taken for the appointment ; a special vestry was to be called. Mr. Dill' thought it would be necessary to give a direct power to the finance committee to make the appointment. Mr. BRADLEY said a special vestry was to be called to make the appointment. The CHAIRMAN did not so understand it. Mr. HART remarked that the finance committee were only specially directed to receive applications. Mr. DENTON objected to the appointment being left to the finance committee, not that he had any personal sus picion of that committee. The CHAxRrL remarked that this board, if it pleased, might call a special meeting for Friday. Mr. CARNE then proposed a motion to that effect, which was carried, and the proceedings were confirmed. WORKHOUSE COMMITTEE. From the proceedings of this committee, it appeared that five boys had been admitted to the workhouse, m an almost naked state, who had absconded from the Industrial Schools. , . Those boys had been induced to sell their clothes by a per son named Molloy, who had harboured them. Molloy, and the party to whom they were sold, were in prison. The pro ceedings also contained the following letter from Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co.:— . "Liverpool, 16th Nov., 1853. " To the Chairman of the Select Vestry. " Sir, —On behalf of the owners of the American packet ship, Isaac Wright, which vessel was compelled to return to this port in consequence of damages received on her voyage to New York, we beg to express to you our thanks for the very great attention and compassionate treatment displayed by your board, and by all the officers connected with the workhouse, towards the unfortunate , passengers relieved from said vessel. The arrangements throughout have met our entire approval, and in a season like the present, requiring every precaution to prevent the spread of disease, have, we think, been well calculated for that object.—We are, &c., " BARING BROTHERS." Mr. J. R. COOPER attended in pursuance of a resolution passed at the committee's last meeting, and having explained that the error in his tender had arisen from inadvertency, and also expressed his readiness to furnish the articles in question, namely, 72 doz. knives and forks, at £ll 125., the lesser of the sums entered in his tender, and it appearing from the governor that the articles named were at present very much wanted in the house,—Resolved, that the cheque ordered be signed, for the whole of the articles named in accordance with the tender, namely, 72 doz. at £ll 12s. There were 567 cases in the hospital, of which 50 were fever cases, and 46 itch cases. A payment of £l,OOO on account of contract was recom mended to be paid to Messrs. A. and G. Holme. The CHAIRMAN directed the attention of the vestry to the fact that Mr. Hart was neglecting his duty by allowing newspapers to be read at the board , . (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Mr. Moss in moving the confirmation of the proceedings, referred to the non-attendance of members on the workhouse committee. A great many things came before the attention of the committee, and it was not pleasant when they had only three members, as many as formed a quorum, to decide upon those matters. He, therefore, begged to give notice that on Thursday next a matter of very important consider ation would be brought before the workhouse committee. It was no less a consideration than whether they were to pro ceed with the building of the mills or otherwise. He re quested gentlemen to attend in sufficient numbers, in order that they might come before the board with some weight, whatever their decision might be. _ _ ➢ir. DENTON said it was lamentable to see the members of the workhouse committee who did attend waiting for the arrival of others to form a quorum. Some of the most im portant matters which the board at to deal with came before the committee. Mr. Moss considered that the workhouse committee had too much to do, and it would be much better to allow so much of their business as related to the building of the es tablishment, to come under the consideration of the finance committee. He hoped the vestry clerk would acknowlege the very handsome conduct of that eminent firm the Messrs. Baring, which was worthy of example, not only as regarded the way that firm had treated their emigrants, but also for the liberal donation they had given to the servants of the establishment. _ _ The proceedings were confirmed. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS COMMITTEE. On the proceedings of this committee being read, Mr. SUMNERS said, before they proceeded to confirm those minutes, he begged to bring before the notice of the ward, a circumstance which had transpired in Chester since they had last met, relative to the conduct of parties connected with the vestry, or rather with reference to the manner in which children were sent out of the industrial schools to be apprenticed. The circumstance was brought• forward, as an imputation against the parties, stating the careless and in-• different manner in which those [children were sent out into the world in comparison with certain other institutions. This transpired at a public assembly in Chester, at which he (Mr. Sumners) happened to be present, in connection with the laying of the foundation stone of a ragged school on Thursday week. The Marquis of Westminster laid the stone ; and his son, the Earl of Grosvenor, the bishop, a great number of theclergy, and respectable inhabitants were present at a dejeuner after the ceremony was over. In course of the speeches which were delivered, there was one gentleman from Liverpool, named Heath, a most respect able man, connected with the Liverpool ragged schools. In the course of his speech, which occupied more than an hour (hear hear, and a laugh) he stated by a way of colouring the picture he was drawing, that boys from the workhouse and industrial schools, preferred going out into the world from the ragged schools than from the parish schools of Liverpool. He Mr. Sumners let him go on and finish his speech, and he (Mr. Sumners) assured them it was an one rous task to reply to him in the presence of the lord bishop aid others. (Laughter.) Mr. Moss—He is only a man. Mr. SUMNERS continued to remark that, with the permis sion of the chairman, • he asked Mr. Heath his authority for his statement, and he stated that from his experience with the parish affairs of Liverpool for many years, he always understood and observed the humane, fatherly, and sympa thetic conduct of the new archdeacon and of the chairman in all cases where children were apprenticed, and that, there fore, Mr. Heath must be misinformed, or the children must have come from some of the extra parochial places around Liverpool, for it never could be the case they were sent out from the industrial schools in such a cruel manner as " here Dick, Jack or Bob, take your clothes and be off." These were Mr. Heath's expressipns. He said that in the ragged schools they were very sympathetic, and toik care to know what was their position, and that was put in contrast with the treatment of children leaving the industrial schools. He thought it right to tell them he had endeavoured to place the vestry in a proper position. Mr. CARNE remarked that Mr. Heath was a particular friend of his, and he had often conversed with him on this subject. He always understood from Mr. Heath that the ragged schools had facilities for getting rid of boys, as they were oreferred by many persons to boys coming out of the workhouse ; but he never understood Mr. Heath to say there was anything like carelessness ; but, he stated the fact, they had greater facilities for getting their boys into situations, and that many boys were known to come out of the work house and go into those schools because they found there were greater facilities for getting situations. Mr. SUMNERS observed that the bishop had stated that he visited the industrial schools at Kirkdale, and if there was an institution in the diocese w hi c h h e should be glad to place as a model before them, the industrial school at Kirk dale was that one. (Hear, hear). Mr. Jour/sort said that no children went out of the work. house schools without every inquiry. being made, in the first instance, into the character of the parties to whom theywere about to be apprenticed; and Mr. Heath would have seen that if he attended any of their ordinary meetings and would have observed by their mi nu t es h ow, day after day, that subject was brought before them. No doubt the workhouse schools might not be so popular as the other schools, and it was an undoubted fact, there was a kind of distaste to take children from the parish authorities. That prejudice did not apply to the ragged schools, which were under the surveillance of committees composed of very influential gentlemen, and the pupils of them, consequently, had a much greater facility for getting out into the world than the parish boys. But at the same time, that preference for the one and prejudice for the other, could not be taken as a proof of any inefficiency or ill-management in the parish schools. The report of the medical relief committee was then read, but it contained no matter of importance. Mr. BRADLEY observed that within the last week, they had no case of cholera whatever in the town. The only cases now in the workhouse were five, and these were the remnant of the emigrants who had beenpreviously attacked ; so that th e public might be satisfied that the town was never in a more healthy condition than it was at present. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CAini•TE confirmed Mr. Bradley's statement, and said that he had him present at the last meeting of the oint committee at the Town-hall, and the opinion of the com mittee on the health of the town was such that they ad journed sine die. (Hear; -hear.) Mr. JOHN PEMBERTON sent in his resignation as a member of the vestry; and in doing so, returned his thanks to the chairman and the other members of the board, for the cour tesy which he had always experienced at their hands. The resignation was accepted ; and Mr. Gardner and Mr. Cairne gave notice that they would move at the next board, that the vacancy be filled up. A communication was read from Dr. Sutherland, stating that, in conformity with the instructions which he had re ceived from Lord Palmerston, he would attend in Liverpool to hold an inquiry as to its burial grounds, and expressing his readiness to receive any information on the subject from the vestry. Mr. DENTON suggested that a select committee should be appointed to attend the inquiry. Mr. BRADLEY thought that should depend on the nature of the inquiry. If it were purely a sanatory matter, it should be referred to the Medical Relief Committee. Mr. Moss would like to know the nature of the inquiry. Some of the churchyards of Liverpool were no doubt in a disgraceful state ; but they might depend upon it, that any alteration by an increase in their rates, they had the choice of two evils—either to be taxed, or have disease amongst them. Eventually it was resolved that the chairman, Mr. Bradley, the church-wardens and overseers, should attend the inquiry on the part of the parish. A letter was read from Mr. Parry and Mr. Luff, regis trars, praying that the vestry might be pleased to equalise their districts. Mr. DENTON said he would object to any change, as giving the people greater trouble. Mr. WILLMER inquired under what circumstances were the present districts formed ? The CLERK replied that, in the first instance, there were six districts, and that they were subsequently changed into seven districts. • Mr. WILLMER asked if it were not in the power of the select vestry to re-alter them, and also what notice was necessary before the change could be made ? The CLERK said that the select vestry could not do it, and that application should be made to the registrar-general for the purpose. The subject then dropped. Mr. Moss thought that the special vestry clerk had omitted one very important matter, and it was this. He (Mr. Moss) remembered that at a meeting of the finance committee, :the clerk was directed to write to Mr. Weight man, calling upon him to furnish them with the various ac counts of work done in the house from its commencement, and likewise the corresponding amounts of money for which he had given orders. He (Mr. Moss) wished to know if that had been done, and if any answer had been received from Mr. Weightman ? The CLARK said that he had written and received no reply. Mr. Moss said he hadheen told about 80,0001. or 100,000/, had been spent in the erection of the place, and they had no document before them to show that it had been spent. They should know the amount of work which had been done for the specific sums that had been ordered. He would mention the subject at the meeting, as, perhaps, by that day they might have a communication from Mr. Weightman. The special vestry then adjourned. THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. COUNTY COURT. v --ESTERDAY. The Court sat at 10 o'clock yesterday. STEPHEN v. Corm —ln this case the plaintiff, Henry Stephen, a journeyman cigar -maker, summoned George Cope, manufacturer of cigars, Great Nelson-strett, for 45., the value of cigars which he had made while in the em ployment of the defendant. The case involved a question regarding the custom of the trade. It was contended by the defendant that the plaintiff, while in his employment, had made a number of cigars which were what the trade called improper in make and workmanship. The plaintiff was asked if he was not aware of a certain rule in the trade by which no cigars of an improper weight or workmanship were paid for by the manufacturer. The plaintiff denied being aware of any such rule. Several witnesses were called upon the part of the defendant to prove that such was the custom of the trade, and also that a list of rules, including the one specified, was hung up in the defendant's workshop, where the plaintiff must have seen it. His Honor said as the plaintiff had chosen to work in an establishment where certain rules prevailed, with which, it appeared, he must have been acquainted, he was bound by those rules, and was not entitled to receive the money. A verdict was, therefore, given for the defendant. .LEONARD V. PITZPITRICK.—This was an action brought by a girl, named Rose Leonard, a servant, against a person named Fitzpatrick, to recover the sum of £4. The evidence of the plaintiff was to the effect that she gave defendant the money to keep for her, believing he was the best friend she had in Liverpool, and that he now refused to pay it. The defendant, on the other hand, alleged that the plaintiff was in his debt for board and lodging for fourteen weeks, at 6s. a weeek, amounting to £3 10s., and that he had also advanced money to her, making £4 10s. He produced an agreement drawn up by himself, and to which he stated Rose Leonard had put her mark, consenting to pay ss. a week for her board. On the other hand, the plaintiff denied that she ever put her mark to the paper, or consented to pay any such sum as ss. per week. She said that the defendant read over the paper to her, and when she put out her hand to take it up he made a mark upon it with the pen which he held in his hand. It appeared also that a copy of the document was given to her to keep, which differed in some particulars from that which the defendant intended to have kept himself. His HONOR said he was of opinion that the young woman had been imposed upon; and that there was a very gross conspiracy to defraud her of her money by means of the paper which was produced. His opinion was, that the girl should pay something for her board, and also that she would have been quite willing to have paid something, if the de fendant had not made such a charge against her, which she thought unfair. He would therefore deduct £1 18s., and give the girl a verdict for £2, which, with the money she had received, would make up the sum to which she was en titled. He would direct the money to be paid immediately, and would make a memorandum that if Mr. Fitzpatrick did not find some means of paying at once the money which he had improperly and dishonestly come by, he should cer tainly send him to Lancaster Castle. The poor placed great trust in their friends, and with justice, for they often treated each other better than the rich; but in this case this young woman, who believed she was putting her money into the care of a friend, had been completely deceived, and a set-off made up for the purpose of defrauding her of the saving of her hard earnings. PRINCE v. SPENCER.—In this case, a woman named Maria Prince, sought to recover £4 from James Spencer, Fulton-street, Regent-road, for the support of a little girl, his child, at ss. a week. The plaintiff stated that she had had five children, besides the girl, of whom defendant was the father, and that they had been living together a great many years, until a short time since, when she was turned out of the house in which she resided. Plaintiff was unable to give any evidence of a contract or promise made by defendant to support the child. His Howon said, without expressing any opinion upon the case, he could only say that unless a contract was proved, the plaintiff had no grounds upon which that court could compel defendant to pay for the maintenance of his ille gitimate children. The case was therefore dismissed. WGEORGE V. HOARE.—This was a case which had been heard upon a previous day, and adjourned for the production of Miss M'George the plaintiff, who sought to recover £ll 55., a quarter's rent of a house in Grove-terrace. The plaintiff, not being in good health, was not able to attend. A nonsuit was therefore entered. LATHAM V. THE LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY.—The plaintiff claimed £3 12s. from this com pany. His evidence was to the effect that he was in the em ployment of the company for nearly two years, and that upon the 6th of Septemuer he was suspended from employ ment, but directed to attend the following day. He did so, and :attended every day successively for three weeks; after which he was set to work for a fortnight. At the expira tion of that time he was paid the fortnight's wages, and then dismissed. The action was brought to recover the three week's wages, at £l4s. a week, and it was stated that by a standing rule of the company a fortnight's notice of dismissal should be given to every servant. Mr. Campbell appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Forshaw represented, the company. Defendant admitted on cross-examination, that he was aware of one of the company's rules, by which a per son absenting himself without leave, was liable to instant dismissal. Evidence was given by the officer of the com pany under whose immediate control witness was, to shew that he had transgressed the rules of the company by absent ing himself without leave, and that he was drinking during the entire of one week. His HONOR : I think this is a very daring attempt to im pose upon the company, and I shall give a verdict for the defendants. CHARGE OF FRAUD AGAINST A CORONER.—MT. William Webb Ward, one of the coroners for South Staffordshire, and James Davis, were on Wednesday last committed for trial at the adjourned Staffordshire Sessions, on a charge of conspiring to defraud Ann Davis of lOs 6d. A MAN WITH TWENTY Wivms.—A man calling himself Dr. Wm. Hunter, but whose real name is said to be Nathaniel I. Bird, is in gaol at Camden, New Jersey, on a charge of bigamy, and various other charges. On Sunday Elizabeth Harrington, a lady of Philadelphia, visited him in prison, and ascertained he was, the man to whom she was married on the 9th of July last. On the same day he was visited by another lady from Kensington, named Mary Thomas, to whom he was married in May last. It is also stated, that he has a wife in Reading, another in Wilming ton, Del., and another yet in Philadelphia. The prisoner is only about twenty-three years of age, and it is stated, declares that he has twenty wives, a statement which may be true, as more than one-fourth of that num>>er have been found within a few days. It is alleged, that he abandoned each wife soon after marriage, and that they never heard of him after until his arrest. The affair creates the greatest excitement in Camden, and has induced an immense number of people to seek admission for the purpose of seeing him. —American paper. CRIME AND CRIMINALS IN LIVERPOOL. THE BOROUGH GAOL-CHAPLAIN'S REPORT. To the Worshipful the Mayor and Magistrates in Sessions. GENTLEMEN, —Again it becomes my duty, as chaplain of your gaol, to present my annual report on the moral and religious condition of the prisoners who have been brought under my notice during the year ending on the 30th Sep tember last. _ _ Were I to restrict myself to these topics very few words might suffice, since no appreciable variation in their charac ter or extent has presented itself. True it is that the number of commitments has been less, and on the daily average of prisoners confined in the gaol there has been a marked diminution, amounting, indeed, to upwards of 100; but while we felicitate ourselves on this circumstance we must not suppose that it arises from any advance in the moral and religious condition of the people, or from any deterring in fluences or other penal appliances, but we must ascribe it, I think, to the general improvement in their social position, induced by increased employment, and the more remunerative prices of labour. . . . Throughout my experience I have observed that in seasons of prosperity we have always had a larger proportion of commitments in default of payment of fines for drunkenness. This is again a very conspicuous feature in the statistical returns of the present year, and is one much to be deplored, as exhibiting a fearful extent of depravity, and showing how prone men are to turn the grace of God into lasciviousness, and to abuse the bounties of His providence. It will be seen that the daily average of prisoners during the past year has not only been actually less than during the former, but, relatively to the total commitments, infinitely less than during many previous years. The increase in the number of commitments for drunken ness, which are generally for very short periods, at once ex plain this ; but in addition to this consideration, the sen tences awarded for other offences—for those involving dis honesty, if I may be allowed to use the distinction—have certainly been of less duration than they were wont to be in the practice of late years, and hence the daily average must necessarily have been less : but this must not be regarded as an indication or much improvement, I fear, in the moral habits and feelings of the people, nor does it justify us, when taking a forecast of the future, to hope that even this apparent advance will be sustained. The great increase in the prices of all the necessaries of life; the embarrassed state Of the labour question through out the kingdom ; the interference of the political aspect of affairs with the commerce of the country; the abolition of transportation excepting for the most gross offences, and the substitution of long periods of imprisonment, are, in them selves, portentious circumstances ; and when, in addition, we consider that all the ordinary incentives to crime in this town, to some of which I have alluded in former reports, still continue in unmitigated force, we cannot, I think, avoid the apprehension that hereafter, our daily average, if not actually, will be relatively greater. But there is another remark suggested by the statistics before you, which, though obvious, I ought not to with hold. The shortness of the . .periods of imprisonment in dicated by the falling off in the actual and centesimal proportion of the daily average, whilst it has not alleviated perceptibly my duties, has reduced my opportunities of bene fiting those who have passed through the goal. Let us hope that in some cases, even of the shortest terms of con finement, a word may have been spoken in season which has not been without its effect. We cannot venture to say more than this ; the good that may be done, from the very nature of things, we cannot know; at the utmost it must be merely conjecture : whilst of the failure of our efforts we have only daily too many instances, with all their depressing and dis couraging influences, here there is so much evil, and that so deeply rooted and of such long duration—where there is so much to unteach and so much around us to coun teract and frustrate our exertions—we must only expect, though we must not rest satisfied with, a small measure of success ; and, happily, we are not altogether destitute of this. lam not without hope, indeed I feel a degree of con fidence, that our labours have not been altogether in vain. 1 have no alteration to notice in the routine of my duties during the past year, neither has any taken place in the system of instruction pursued, or in the means at my dis posal. In my last report I ventured to suggest that an applica tion should be made to the committee of the free public library, for a grant of any supernumerary books at their dis posal, towards the formation of a library for the use of the subordinate officers of this establishment ; that suggestion not having been adopted, I applied on my own responsibility, and am glad to be able to report that I obtained a grant of fourhundred volumes. To the committee of the Bible Society, likewise, I am in debted for a very liberal donation, on my application, of Bibles and Testaments for gratuitous distribution amongst the prisoners on discharge, when found deserving. I have also to record a grant by the town council of a sum of £250 towards the expense of providing for juveniles on their discharge from prison. Little progress has been made in this way -- not, I am sorry to say, for want of objects, but for want of suitable asylums to receive them. During the year the following juveniles have, however, being removed, viz„ 14 boys to Red-hill, Reigate, under conditional par dons ; 2 boys to Kingswood, near Bristol -one of these was the boy Hart, referred to in the late Mr. Rushton's letter to the town council—the sentence of both had expired before removal ; 6 girls to Kingswood, 4 of whom are under condi titional pardons ; 1 girl to Dalston Refuge, London ; 2 girls to County Refuge, Chester ; 4 girls to County Refuge, Edge hill. Making a total of 29 boys and girls. The are several now in the gaol, who, at a fitting opportunity, will be dis posed of in a similar way. Of those who have been pro vided for in the manner stated, I have to report that 6 (with a seventh, who had been sent hence in July, 1852) have emigrated —2 to Swan River, 2 to Ohio, 1 to Kentucky, and to Australia. One has returned to employment in Liverpool ; one is in Westminster Bridewell, having de serted from Red-hill, and was apprehended in London, and convicted of picking pockets ; one is now in this gaol, having deserted from Edge-hill, and was convicted here of picking pockets ; 6 are still in the philanthropic school at Red-hill, and reported to be doing well; one well reported of in Dal ston Refuge; one (with one previously sent) well reported of at Chester; two going on satisfactorily at the refuge, Edge-hill ; one absconded from Edge-hill, and is not re covered, whose mother is now here under sentence of four months' imprisonment ; one absconded from Chester, has since been several times in this prison, and is known to be living a dissolute life ; and eight are still in the school at Kingswood, seven of whom are subjects of anxiety and doubt. Thus it appears that, of 29 cases of juveniles, 7 have done well, I l are in the way of doing well, 7 are still doubtful, 2 have so far failed, and 2 are hopelessly lost. Nov, when I state that, with one solitary exception, all these, though young in years, were old in crime, and that, in my judgment, no existing system of prison discipline could ever possibly reclaim them, it will be admitted, I hope ; that we have suffisient encouragement not only to persevere in, but, if possible, to extend, these means. Too much credit cannot, be given to those who have the management of the several reformatory institutions above referred to ; their work is arduous, and much discretion, patience, and self-denial must have been exercised, I am sure, to produce even this measure of success. Miss Car penter, to whose exertions the Kingwood Reformatory School mainly owes its existence, and to whom I feel so deeply indebted for the readiness with velich she has enter tained my applications, thus reports to me : " All the girls we have received from you, except little M. R., exhibit an amount of wickedness and audacity which I could not have realised, nor any one else who has had much to do with them, if I had not come into personal contact with them. I never before was so certain of the evil influence and non-reformatory action of an associated gaol like yours ; an influence which cannot be counteracted by even such efforts as yours Of our success," she goes on to say, " I cannot, of course, speak; nor do I believe that it would be safe for the girls to return to Liverpool when they leave us ; but I feel sure that much progress has been made, and that there is every hope that a change will be wrought in them if they stay with us long enough. Ly null and Hart aro improving, the latter especially ; we want legal detention for them." The subject of juvenile destitution and crime appears at length to be attracting public attention, and parliament has unmistakeably evinced a determination fully to grapple with the difficulty. I look forward, therefore, with feelings of the most lively interest and anxiety to the next session; when legislation will take place on the matters so thoroughly and so patiently sifted by the select committees which sat during the two last sessions. The bill introduced last ses sion by Mr. Adderley and Sir John Pakington, and read a second time, I believe, was merely intended to induce a dis cussion of the question, and, so far, it certainly answered its object. To my own mind, in itself it appeared insufficient, and otherwise objectionable. The provisions of the new bill, I am given to understand, will be better considered, more full and satisfactory, embracing the vitally essential points recommended in the resolutions of the committee above referred to, and which were reported to the House of Commons on the 20th June. Still, I feel that the pecu liarities of our position, as a large sea-port, visited by a number of criminal and destitute boys from Ireland and the adjacent populous districts—possessing, moreover, our un enviable notoriety for juvenile crime—not only admits of, but indeed demands, the establishment, by legal sanction of a reformatory differing from those alone contemplated, and that it is highly desirable that some steps should be taken— may I suggest by the promoters of the Liverpool petition on this subject—to press upon the government the propriety of embracing within their scheme the formation of reforma tories afloat. Several gentlemen of your court are aware of the encou ragement which has been already directly and formally held out by the Liverpool Shipowners' Association to a proposal some months ago made for the establishment of a hulk in our river for the training of boys for the merchant marine service ; and I do, therefore, with the utmost deference, de sire strenuously to urge that the present opportunity for ob taining the necessary legal facilities ought not to be suffered to pass. One essential for the well-working and success of any reformatory institution, whether ashore or afloat, will be " a goad business connection" or " society of patronage" for the disposal or placing out in life of those who have been subjected during a sufficient length of time to re formatory action. With such an addendum I should have greater confidence of good results : without it I am certain we must look for disappointment. In Liverpool, a marine reformatory, if judiciously conducted, would be sure to possess this advantage. In the course of my examination before the select committee on juvenile crime, I put forth this amongst other remedial suggestions, and the proposals seemed to meet with favour. The success which has attended the Marine Society's opera tions in connection with their training ship at Woolwich puts the practibility of such an undertaking beyond a ques tion; and the admitted scarcity of seamen, and the falling off in the supply for future years, arising from a combina tion of several causes, seem to point out such a step as no less politic than benevolent. • There is no place in the king dom where such an experiment as I would urge is so likely to succeed as in Liverpool, and it is undeniable that there is none more loudly calling for the effort. Let it not be longer alleged that reformatory efforts act as a. premium on, or an inducement to, crime. I have cer tainly heard of one solitary instance, said to have occurred 14 years ago ' and that one unauthenticated, whe r ei n it was supposed tat such danger presented itself; but my own expe rience here goes to prove directly the contrary, and within the period embraced by this report even, I can point to several cases wherein both parents and the children themselves have de clined to embrace the assistance offered on the condition of being placed in reformatory institutions, preferring, in some instances, to remain in prison, even for lengthened periods, that they might on discharge, return to their former courses and haunts, rather than submit to the wholesome discipline of a reformatory process.---I have the honour to be, gentle men, your very obedient servant, THOMAS CARTER, Chaplain. POLICE COURT. -Y ESTERDAY. --ESTERDAY. Patrick Malone, charged with embezzling £8 15s. 6d., the property of his employer, Mrs. Jane Percy, of Oliver street, was again brought up, having been remanded the previous day, but was discharged with a caution, the clerk at the steam packet company's offices not being able to say whether he had engaged a berth by one of the packets for Ireland. The prosecutrix recovered £8 ss. 6d. of the amount. Mary .M"Cauley was charged with stealing some tea, the property of Thomas Mason, grocer, of Whitechapel. The defendant went into the shop for some trifling articles, when she was observed by two assistants to take some tea, about 4 oz., from a small bowl standing on the counter. When detected, she dropped the tea on the floor. Discharged with a caution. DESERTION FROM THE NAVY.—A gentlemanly young man was charged with deserting from The Queen. In his defence he alleged that he had joined the ship at Falmouth, at which time it was promised him that he should have a month's leave of absence. It appeared that there was some mistake as the ship sailed to Portsmouth, from thence to Cork, and then to Plymouth. Not previously having had leave, he took the advantage of going ashore, and went to visit his friends. He came to Liverpool, but missed the packet, when he found his ship had sailed. It was not his wish to leave the service, he had no desire to do so, but was most anxious to go on board. He left the court with the Board of Admi ralty's officer. ROBBING AN EMPLOYER.—Thomas Woods was charged with stealing some cloth and other articles from a pawn broker, Renshaw-street. It appeared that police-officer 686 was on duty when he saw the prisoner with a bundle, and stopped him. He stated that his employer had sent him over to Ireland to commence business. 'Upon making in quiries he found that his employer did not know that he had left the house, and identified some of the articles found upon him. In answer to the magistrate, the complainant said he had no objection to again take the defendant into his em ploy, provided he would promise not to offend again. Re • manded. STEALING MONEY.—John Gorratty was charged with stealing 205., the property of his employer. It appeared that the complainant, Mr. Edwards, Renshaw-street, en trusted the prisoner with a sovereign to get changed into silver on the 4th of October last, but he never returned. The prisoner's defence was that he had tried all over Liver pool to get change, but had failed, and at last met with a person who gave him only 17s. 6d., and he was afraid to go back with that amount. Remanded. Two lads named Gardner and Cullen were charged with stealing some rope from the Brunswick Dock. The property was found upon the prisoners. Cullen one month, being an old offender, although young in years. Gardner was re manded. A THEATRICAL " LARR."—Mr. Frederick Villiers the stage-manager of the Royal Amphitheatre, appeared to answer a charge preferred against him, upon which he had been admitted out on bail, by Mrs. Hurton, the wife of Mr. Hurton, printer, Queen's-square. Mr. Rymer, solicitor, appeared for the accused. The complainant having been sworn, Mr. Wyberg, the magistrate's clerk, said, Pray have you any charge to make against this gentleman (pointing to Mr. Villiers) ? Hurton : Yes, sir, I have. On Saturday night last, about eight o'clock, this young man (a person who escorted ;le: in the court), who has just commenced business—l should say that he is my husband's brother—on the other side of the water, came into the lobby of my house, and said he had got his wife with him, and that having been late before he got his work finished, he had brought it with hint. I told him it was wise to do so. He asked where he could out it, that it might not be stolen, and I told him to put it in the printing-office. He did so, and placed it just in the office on some shelves. While the young man was smoking his pipe he heard some person come in, and as their clerk had been out collecting money she thought it was him; as he did not speak she called out, " William is that you," but received no answer. She went down stairs as quickly as possible, and again called out, "Is that:you," when some person said, "All right," but I said I did not think it was all right. When she went to the door she saw a man there, of whom she asked if he had seen any person go into the lobby. He told her he had seen a gentleman go in. She asked him what sort of a man he was, but he could not tell her, only that he was a gentlemanly-looking man, and he thought he had boxing gloves on. Mr. Wybergh : What did you do ? Complainant : I called the young man down and asked him how much cord he had placed in the office. He said two dozen, and upon looking they found some of it was gone. I went to the door and asked the man which way the person who had left the lobby had gone. He replied he went round the corner. I did not see the person. The young man ran in that direction, and went to the policeman on the opposite side of the square. Mr. Wybergh.: Then that is all you know about it of your own knowledge. Complainant : Yes. I did not see the person. Cross-examined by Mr. Rymer : My husband is not here. The only reason for his not being here is that I requested him not to come. I charge Mr. Villiers with taking the cord. The premises belong to myself and my husband. I suppose they belong to both of us. My husband is a printer and carries on the business. Mr. Rymer : Who is Mr. Villiers ? Complainant : That is the man, (pointing to the prisoner). Mr. Rymer : You know him, do you not ? Complainant: I know the man, but I know nothing of him.- Mr. Rymer : I ask you again, what is Mr. Villiers ? Complainant : I have no objection to answer any question. Mr. Rymer : I do not wish to put the question in an un gentlemanly manner, but I ask you do you not know that Mr. Villiers is stage manager at the Royal Amphitheatre ? Complainant : I swear I do not know what he is—but I have seen his name in the play bills. Ido not know whe ther my husband is on friendly terms with Mr. Villiers. He has not been in my house; but even if he had been, that would be no justification to his coming to my house to steal. Mr. Rymer : Pray was your husband not printing some bills for Mr. Villiers' benefit. Complainant : I do not know anything about that. His bills would have been in the hands of the parties before that hour, as his benefit was on the Monday night. I manage the business. lam obliged to do so. Ido not know that my husband and Mr. Villiers are on very intimate terms. I will swear that Ido not know such to be the fact. I do not know that they are in the habit of meeting together at the house of Mr. Porter, close by—how should. I know that ? Mr. Rymer : Pray when did you find out that the string was gone ? Complainant : About three minutes after. The young man went for a police officer. The policeman is not here. There was no time lost in giving information, but there was an attempt made last night to intimidate me from coming here to-day. I was grossly illtreated at the bridewell. I first found out where the string was on Monday, about one o'clock. I told my husband on the Saturday that it had been stolen. The young man went to the police. I saw Mis. Porter on Sunday last, but she did not tell me the string was at her house. My husband did not tell me that it had been left at Mr. Porter's to be sent back, and that it had only been taken as a " lark" until Monday ; when I told him I did not approve of such larks being played upon me. My husband told me that an apology had been made to him, but I considered that the apology ought to have been made to me. I never had any disagreement with Mr. Vil liers in my life. I have no vindictive feeling in coming here, all I wish is to have my house my castle when I am alone, and not be subject to such treatment. Mr. Villiers came home on Saturday night with my husband; who had, as gentlemen are in the habit of doing, taken a glass too much—when he talked a great deal, and a person told me not to talk with him. Mr. Rymer : Did not Mr. Villiers once come to your house, and made some mistake by taking you for a servant, and were you not annoyed at it ? Complainant : I will swear before all the judges of the land that I did not know of it. I have no ill feeling towards him. I know nothing of what has become of the string. The string was made for Mr, Alexander. The young man sent for the string that was in my house. The Magistrate said there was no case ; and addressing Mr. Villiers, said " You are discharged, but do not play these tricks again. Mr. Rymer said he was bound to state that there was no intention on the part of his client. The string was merely taken in a lark, which he would admit was wrong, merely for the purpose of showing the complainant that their doors were not left secure. ASSAULTS ON THE POLICE. , osa nit. Joseph Walsh was committed for one month for__. in while while in a state of intoxication, police-officer 152, _ 4 Joseph Welsh and Robert Lowery were also chargee!7Lit. assaulting several of the police, in the execution of the duty, in Northumberland-street.
