the lite-beet crews on such oecmiona voraisaaria, that
we call en our lifeboat crews to risk their lives -as they
are always ready to do -to save their fellow-creatures
from shipwrecks, it is only fair and just that they
eliculd be handsomely rewarded for their servings.
The liberal manner in which the Institution has hither-

heedv way in which they are ever ready to man the
lifeboat.. even during the fierrv't midnight storms.
Under these eircum•tances we ha.. pleasure in calling
attention to this truly benevolent national institu-
tion. and cordially commend it to the support of our
readers.

needs no recommendation whatever- wherever it is
known it will the appreciated. Rut in the July
number there is • paper on "Our Sea-birds" to which
we would especially call attention. The beautiful sea-
it rds which adorn the scenery of our Goads are rapidly
becoming entiner, in consequence of the wholesale des-
tructien to which they are exposed. for pleasure-eeekers
shoot them in wanton 'port, and tho caprice of fashion,
which dictates the wearing of their plumage in ladies'
bate, nick.. tie profitable employment to hunt them on
the eliffs and crags in which they find their abode.
Rut our anilors want the birds. It has been found again
an sgain that the cries /I sea•birds have served aa

the beacon lights on &dr and headland. On the York-

written by the Rev. Richard Wilton, of Londesborough

THE CAREER OF A YOUNG THIEF.
A ease displaying great credulity on the part of trades-
men h. just come to light at Bolton. It appears that
about throe months ago a youth of respectable connec-
tions, named William Oreenhalgh, stated to be only
seventeen years of age, but who looks even younger
than that, was engaged as errand boy at the shop of
Moors. Aseden and Co., tailor. and drapers, in that
borough. On the Nth of May be abstracted • cash-box,
eonhuning over 1.16, from the safe, and absconded W
Manchester. Next morning Its proceeded to Liverpool,
and from there to Llaadmlno, returning the same day
to the residence of his mother, in Holton. In the even.
leg he went on to Manchester again, and OPIt day he
took rail to Warrington and London. Feeling ware
Irons detection, he now determined upon enjoying
himself, and having errayed himself in the highest of
fashion, he inspected the prima* "lions" of the metro-
polis. (in the Thursday following he visited Sheffield.
and from there he went to Bolton, where he took
lodgings at the Temperance Hotel of Mr. T. Morris.
Representing himself as a traveller In fancy stationery
for • firui in Liverpool, he soon became intimate with
the family, and was allowed to roam unrestrained
through the premises. A charming young waitress
having engaged his affections, " Freddy"—whieh was
the only name by which he was known—presented her
with his portrait. Several times be had the temerity to
visit the theatre, and during hiss...ions in the neigh•
Wartime' he slatted the Reformatory of Blaokler,
where, it seems, he was ones usearcerated, for the pur-
pose of seeing an old comrade. Still he remained un-
discovered by tho "lynx-eyed" policemen. Becoming
at lent th affiicted with tenni, be made • visit to the
Isle of Man, where the jollification, in which he indulged
soon lightened his purse. Returning to Bolton on the
13th inst., he again took apartment. at Mr. Morris's,
and on the Sunday following (the 20th), he abstracted
from the esah-box in the landlords bedroom • hag con-
taining L'29 125., with which he decamped to Manz lead.
On the money being missed, suspicion at ones fell upon
"Freddy,' and the address card of a lodging-house
keeper at Douglas being discovered in his carpet bag, it
sro, forwarded, with the photograph, to the pollee
authorities of that town. On Wednesday the young
villain was apprehended at this same ladging.house, and
was at ones conveyed to Bolton. In his possession were
found EIS, • brace of pistol. (loaded), • powder flack
and saps, • small dagger, pomades for beautifying the
hair, &a. On Saturday the prisoner was brought before
the borough magistrates, and committed to the sessions
