magistrates, on Friday, Police-officer 216 said that, on Thursday
.niglit, he was called by a woman who keeps a notorious house, 6,

other ; and, for fear that she might be blamed if anything• was
wrong, she wished the officer to investigate the matter. On
entering the house, one of the prisoners violently assaulted
him, and with great difficulty, .he was, in consequence, . con-
veyed ,to bridewell. On being searched, cards, with the
name" Rev. Patrick llacmanamey," were found on him, as
well as a portion of an Edinburgh paper, from which it ap-
-peared that he was an agent of the Edinburgh Irish Church
mission, .in connexion with which his services were highly
eulogised by one of the speakers. (the Rev. Dr. Begg), at a
,public meeting held at Edinburgh, and reported in the
newapaper. Passenger contract tickets for America, for
which x3l had been paid, were also fonnd on the prisoner.
In his defence, he said he was -a medical man ; but the magis-
trate, Mr.. Robertson Gladstone, •who said he bad reason to
believe he• was a doctor of another profession, fined him 20s.
and costs for the assault on the police-officer.
PwRIIT,AL - ASSAULT AND ROBBERY.—At the Police-coact,
on Friday, Thomas Leigh and Susan Oxton were charged
with stealing money from William Hutchison, and with
violently assaulting police-officer 440. Mr. Hutchinson said
that he waashelterbig in the doorway of a house in Charteris-
street on Thursday, ,when the female prisoner asked him to
come inside of the house. He did so, when the two prisoners
held him down, while another man rued his pockets. The
male prisoner bit him on the face with his teeth. In the
evening, after the robbery, he met police-officer 440 in
Vauxhall-road, to whom he related what had happened, and
pointed out the prisoners, who were then passing along._ The
officer attempted to take •the male prisoner into custody, when
a mob of 300 persons gathered around him, and, in a scuffle
which ensued, he was Imodied down,' the female prisoner
jumping on his body. The male was sent to gaol .for three
cznouths, and the girl for fourteen days. •
HEALTH COMMITTEE.—The weekly meeting was held on
Thursday, Mr. Alderman Langdale in the chair, The other
members present were Messrs. Beckwith, Slid, Johnsor4, R.
Gladstone, M`Guffie, Hodson, Crosthwaite, and Halhead. The
medical officer reported that the mortality of the borough con-
tinued unusually low.—The borough engineer, building sur-
veyor, and inspector of nuisances, reported various particulars
of the operations in their several departments during the week.
—An application was made to the committee to macadamise
the road at the south end of the Sailors' Home, in front of the
Seamen's Chapel.—Mr. Gladstone objected, on the ground that
the parties for whom the chapel was originally intended did
not attend, and that it was frequented altogether by other
parties: If the street required to be altered, let those who sat
pew-free pay fora themselves.—Mr. Beckwith moved, and Mr.
Gladstone seconded, that the matter be not entertained, which
was carried by a majority of 5 to 3.—An application- was put
in for several ney streets to be laid out in the neighbourhood
of the Zoological Gardens.—Mr. Gladstone asked if it would
not be possible, in those new streets, to make some arrange-
ments for the better placing of water-pipes and gas-pipes.—
The borough engineer explained that there were two rows of
pipes now laid, and they were laid under the curb-stone; but'
the system could never be perfect until they adopted the idea
of making a tunnel in the middle of narrow streets, and a
tunnel on each side of the broad streets. It would cost £1 4s,
per yard more than it does for laying down pipes on the pre-
sent system; but it would, ultimately, be a great saving.—The
subject then dropped; and, as this concluded the general
business, the board adjourned.
DOCK COMMITTEE.—The weekly meeting was held on
Thursday, Mr. Charles Turner in the chair. A letter was
read from the Chairman of the Audit Commission, enclosing
the report of the special auditors for the year ending 21st
June last, which stated that, after a close and careful exami-
nation, it was found that all money due to the Trustees during
that period had been collected by the treasurer, and properly
accounted for. The report was referred to the Finance Com-
mittee. A letter was read from the agent of the Dundalk
Steam-packet Company, stating that the eaves of the shed oc-
cupied by that company in the Clarence-basin projected so
much as frequently to come in contact with tha steamers. The
letter Was referred to the Harbourmasters' Committee. The
Solicitor produced a report of the changes effected in the Dock
regulations by the recent Dock Act which had come into ope-
ration, which was ordered to be printed for the information of
the public. A correspondence was read between the Harbour-
masters' Committee and Messrs. Charles G. Cowie and Co., in
which the latter complained of the appropriation of the south-
east corner of the Prince's-dock as a special berth to the
vessels of the Liverpool line of Australian packets, belonging
to Messrs. M`Gee, Levingston and Co. After some conversa-
tion, the subject was referred to the garbOUrMa9terS' Com-
mittee.

A DRII,NKEN SAILOR.-At the Police-court. on Friday, a
seaman, named York, was brought up under the following
circumstances :—Early that morning Mr. and Mrs. Davenport,
who reside in Denison-street, were enjoying their connubial
repose, when the lady was aroused by an ann, evidently not
that of her husband, being placed round her neck. She
screamed, and awoke Mr. Davenport, who lighted a candle,
but he had scarcely done so ere the light was extinguished,
and when another light was procured it was found that the
room had been entered by a strange sailor, evidently in a state
of intoxication. It was afterwards discovered that the prisoner,
who lodged next door, had entered the hOuse, and was about
to get into the bed, mistaking it for his own. The key of
the house where he lodged fitted Mrs. Devonport's door also.
He was discharged with a caution.
EMBARKATION OF TROOPS.-A further detachment of the
King's Own Dragoon Guards, consisting of about 86 men,
rank and file, 116 horses, and a number of officers, embarked
on Saturday, at this port, on board the screw-steamer Resolute,
for the Crimea. The officers were Lieut.-Colonel Haythorne,
Ist Foot ; Lieut-Colonel Gloster, 38th Foot ; Captain Daire,
Grenadier Guards ; Lieut. Gascoigne, ditto ; Lieut. Viscount
Stonnors, ditto; Brevet-Major the Hon. P. Fielding, Coldstream
Guards; Major Street, 57th Foot; Captain Piers, with a
detachment of the 97th, to be embarked at Dublin, where the
Resolute will take on board 14 officers of the sth Dragoons,
Ist Foot, 13th Foot, 14th Foot, and 90th Foot, with 400 men
and 77 horses. 'The screw-steamer Emu is ordered to be in
readiness to embark at• this port, on the 14th instant, 23
officers and about 600 men of the 51st Regiment for Malta;
and the Andes (s.s), on the same day, 8 officers and 300 men
of the 51st Foot; 9 officers and 100 men of the 3rd; 4 officers
and 100 men of the 31st ; and 10 officers and 200 men of
the 48th,

Mt RIVAL RAILWAY COMPANIES.—On Friday, the rail-
way fares between Liverpool and Southport were greatly
reduced, and parties may now obtain return tickets for one
shilling, thus enablinr, them to travel between Liverpool and
Southport and back, a'distance of about 42 miles, at little more
than a farthing a mile. The public are thus reaping the
advantage of the fierce competition which has been caused
between the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company and the
East Lancashire Company, consequent upon the opening of
the latter company's branch from Southport, which tuns into
their main line near Ormskirk. On Friday there was unusual
excitement at the Exchange Station, from which both compa-
ny's trains Start, and we understand that there was an
immense increase in the number of passengers. The town,
and the neighbourhood of the station, was extensively pla-
carded by both companies, each asserting that their lines
respectively were the shortest. The Lancashire and York-
shire Company announce that "the shortest and only direct
route to Southport is via Waterloo and Crosby'; whilst the
East Lancashire Company State that their's is "the only
direct line to Southport—nine trains per day."

.CICAIL,GE AGAINST TUE CAFTAIN OF THE JAMES BAINES.—
At the Liverpool Police4court, on Saturday, Mr. Sowler
applied for a warrant 'against Captain M`Donnell and other
ofhcers of the Royal mail ship James Baines, for an alleged
assaeit committed on a Dr. Carr during the late homeward
voyage from Melbourne. Mr. Sowler stated that on the '2sth
of March last his client, who had made himself obnoxious to
'the captain for a prominent part he had taken in the main-
lenance of the rights•or the passengers, was taking a vvek on
the poop, when Captain M`Dotinell went behind him, 'lacked
and afterwards-made him the object of great annoyances,
fining him 20s. 'kr an alleged assault on a person named
Bembridge, andtonfining him in 'a place below unfit fora
human being to 'live in. The magistrates, considering the
long interval which had elapsed -since the vesselhad been in
port, which had afforded Dr. Carr ample opportunity to bring
his case earlierlefore the tourt,,and considering 'that it would
be unjust to the owners of 'the 'ship to cause herdetention at
the very time she was advertised, under a penalty to 'the
Governmetit,lo sail withtheTost-office mails, refused to ac-
cede to the application. The ;presiding magistratewere Mr.
S. liolme 'a nd Mr. Anderson.

LIVERTDPL LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASSCCIATION.—This
body celebrated its twetityzfifth anniversary on Thursday last,
at Eastham. The fete included the customary annual ball ha
aid of the funds of the benevolent institution connected with
the association, whiCh was preceded by an elegant • and sub-
stantild cold collation, served in the banquetting room. The
festivities were honoured by the presence of the mayor (Mr.
J. B. Tobin), Mr. Charles Turner, several of the members of
the corporation, &c. Mr. Jonathan Williamson, of the firm of
Messrs. Geo. Pim andtCo., distillers, occupied the chair, sup-
' ported by the -mayor -and Mr. Law Sykes, president of the
association. After justice had been done to the good things
provided, a number of toasts were given, that of Prosperity
•to 'the Liverpool Licensed Victualler? Association, and the
Health of the,Chairman and Comniittee," being proposed by
the mayor, who, speaking of the progress of Liverpool, said,
"There are many around this table who can 'call to mind Li-
verpool when it was far less important than it is now. During
the past forty years it has increased-more than ten-fold. Those
--around this table—many of them—can recollect the time when
'Liverpool did norooast of more than 400,000 tons of shipping,
but now there are upwards of 'OOO,OOO. (Cheers.) It is
steadily increasing in importance—=rising more rapidly than any
port in the .kingdom—andolreacly far exceeds in its foreign
commerce that of the metropolis : andl believe that the
acquisition recently made of the Birkenhead property will tend
to give increased security and 'importance to Liverpool, and
will enable us-to afford such accommodation to the commerce
of the country as the whole world beside cannotoffer." (Cheers.)
After other toasts had been given; -and responded to, the large
room was cleared, and the ball commenced.
CHARGE OV MANSLAUGHTER.An inquest was held before
the deputy-coroner on Saturday; on the body of Ann, wife of
William Kelly.—Mary, wife of Christopher Shaw, Jackson's-
! court, Sparling-street, said she knew the deceased, who lived
next door to her. Never 'heard any quarrel in the house
between the deceased and her husband. Deceased event to
the Workhouse last Thursday. week ; her husband went with
her. Before she went witness was •inher house, and heard her
..a, lac Lw L., at., uald ~hc would 100 beLtw
attended to,:but she was 'determined to go, saying that she
should be better taken care of. 'Witness never saw her again.
-Similar testimoney was given by Mary Pender, and other'
neighbours.—Jane Oliver, nurse of the Workhouse, remem-
bered the deceased being • brought in there on the 26th of last
month. She became rapidly worse until Friday afternoon,
when she ,died,—George Carr, governor of the Workhouse,
said his attention was partimilarly.called to the deceased on
Friday, about twelve o'clock, when she appeared to be dying.
The surgeon was present, and told her that she was dying,
and she said she knew she was. She then stated that about
three months ago her husband, William Kelly, had returned
home on a-Sunday morning, and found fault with her because
she had not his breakfast ready.; that he kicked her on the
left side with the point of his shoe, making her black and
blue, pulling the hair out of her head in handfuls -; thatshe
told the neighbours he had done so.; and that she had not
been well-since. At her desire the prisoner was sent for, and
came in the afternoon. Witness was present when he saw
the deceased. They shook hands, and she immediately re-
peated to him three times the words, ." You murdered me."
Witness stooped over her and said,-"my good woman, do you
know you are dying nowt" and she said " Yes." He then
asked if what -she had said was' true, and her reply was, " Yes,
he murdered me ;" and these were thedast words she uttered.
When the deceased said to her husband,-" You murdered me,"
witness called his attention to the words. He seemed sur-
prised, and said he could prove the contrary. He also said he
never wished her to come to the Workhouse at all.—Mr.
Francis Ayrton, surgeon, at the 'Workhouse, was present
when the deceased made the statement detailed by Mr. Carr.
Before then he had told her that she was dying, and she said
she felt that she was sinking. Witness .confirmed the state-
ment of the governor. He made an examination of the body.
-On the left side, above the groin, he found. a:black spot, about
'the size of a crown-piece, in the centre of a tumour. Had
-seen the swelling .during her life, but there was 'only then
-slight discolouratian, and mortification had set in in that
place. On opening the body, found that the intestine, exactly
under the spot, was blackened and diseased, and that there
.was matter there. 'Witness was of opinion that deceased had
died from mortification at this spot, and that the injury must
have been produced from external violence. Deceased had
pointed out this place as the exact spot where her husband
had kicked her. A kick from a shoe might have produced
such an injury. The jury returned a -verdict of "Man-
slaughter" against the husband, and he was committed for
trial under the coroner's-warrant.

CALEDONIAN CREAM.—Two ounces of raspberry jam or
jelly, two ounces of red currant jelly, two ounces of sifted loaf
sugar, the whites of two eggs—put it into a bowl, and beat it
with a .spoon for three-quarters of an hour. This ni-Ikea a
very pretty dish, and is good and economical.
THE END ,or BUSINESS.—R is well to remember that the
end of business is happiness, and all that we gain on the road
is so much clear gain. Much of life is necessarily passed in
business pursuits, and all have an interest in making its
transactions as pleasant and agreeable as possible. Politeness
is the life, animation, beauty, poetry of business, that gives, it
all its flavour. It is a virtue, too, that needs and will bear
extension. No station, rank, or talents can ever exeusea man
for neglecting the civilities due from man to man. Integrity,
too, is never to be lost sight of. It is the corner-stone of the
character of the true man of•business, in the absence of which
the whole edifice topples to its ruin.

child, and often got whipped ; Alexander ran in leading-

MARRIAGE IN EARNEST.—When the late Lord Erskine,
then going the circuit, was. asked by his landlord how he
:had slept, he. replied, ." Union is strength—a fact of which
...your inmates seem to be unaware ; for, had the fleas_ been
unanimous last night, they might have pushed me. out of
the bed." " Fleas !" exclaimed Bonifice, affecting great asto-
nishment, "I was not aware that I had a single one in the '
house." "I don't believe you have," retorted his lordship;
" they are married, and have uncommonly large families'!" •
A NOTED TIPPLER once succeeded in passing a public-
house by the road-side without stopping to cheer the inner
man. When he had proceeded about half a mile he expressed
his admiration in the following terms : " Well done, Jem, I
didn't think you could do it : I'll go back and treat you to a
glass for your resolution."

THE hours of a wise man are lengthened by his ideas, as
those of a fool are by his passions. The time of the one is
long, because he does not know what to do with it ; so is that
of the other, because he distinguishes every moment of it with
useful or amusing thoughts—or, in other words, because the
one is always wishing it away, and the other always enjoying it
