IMPUDENT ATTEMPT AT ROBBERt—Last night, about
'eight o'clock, while the captain of an American vessel
lying in t althouse Doek.*as standing in Hanoter-street,
nearly opposite it the Post. office, he was roughly seized
by two men, one of wham plund his hand into the
captain's trowsers pocket, and abstracted a £5 Bank of
England note, a gold ring, and smile other articles of
minor value: The alarm Was immediately given, and
the t felloWs were apprehended when attempting to
make their escape:- The police were in immediate
attendance, and the pair were handcuffed and marched
off to bride Well. We understend that the thieves had
observed the captain put his mode into the pocket
while in a public-house in the vicinity, and watched
their etportunity for becoming possessed of it, iti
however, they tlere happily unsuccessful.
BAND OF 1101 E rESITWAL. —On Saturday many
thousands of children—Members of the Liverpool
Band of Hope—=held a festival. They met between
one and two o'clock, in a field at the They
of Everton-
valley---formed a procession.--and marched throtigh the
principal streets and thoroughfares. A portion Ins
preceded by an eicellent band; a bagpipe was also in
attendance. The children Carried .an infinitude of flags,
emblems, and mottoes, such as " The cold water army,"
" Our country's hope," &c. On their return to the field,
between four And five o'clodk, the procession &Aid not
have numbered less than from eight to twelve thousand,
all neatly, cleanly, add respectably, attired children,
from four years of age upiedfcls. In the field, " the
cold water army" were regaled with buns and fruit.
Every conceivable innocent game was prattieed ; and
the neighbourhood rang for hours with the sound
.of
childish glee. 'flit Committee of management awarded
prizes to boys for speeches litni?rediately concerning the
objects of the day's demonstration; an&, thus a gteat
number of "reasons for total abstinence" Otte elicited
front little preachers, who in daily life practice what
they teaelf et festivals. A variety of recitations were
given by youtfis of both sexes ; and, what with all
manner of amusements, iied icengs, and speeches by
children of a greater growth, the dal e*d evening were
most pleasantly, creditably, and profitably *Ceti:
STREET PREACHING AND ITS OPPONENTS.—Tht
system adopted bra body of well-meaning persons, for
the regular delivery of services to the strolling popula-
tion tm Sundays, at which the tenets of Protestantism
are enforced, has given rise to a counter-movement 'on
the part of others, who disagree with the doctrines
promulgated. The opposition dues not, in general,
indicate itself by bpisterOus h'ostility, although, yesterday,
we Were Niltriass toa rather unseemly eXhibition cm the
part of the Oppithients.' Tp an open' spade of ground
near to the Huskissoir Dock, a geritlenianlY-looking
man was delivering a discourse, in the zisrial earnest and
-emphatic manner, when a number of quay labourer's
wandered towards the spot, and so soon as they heard
the tenor of the orator's remarks, began talking* to each
other in a loud tone of voice, making use of ribald
elpressions, while one of them warned the preacher
that be had better beware of a certain "Tommy Byrne,"
Wbe Vial teidently the apostle of the intruders. The
noise at hat lietaine sti great that the sermon was
abruptly cut short, and the preacher retired amidst
laughter and jeers. Some weltdispeted persons re-
monstrated with the noisy few, but their rentarks only
produced a further outburst of ribaldry. Last winning,
' also several Irishmen congregated at the lamp opposite
St. Tames's Market, where short admonitory lectures
were being delivered, and without addressing their
remarks to the speaker, talked in so loud a tone that
they Could not fail to annoy. Some of their allusions
had, refere'nc'e to the youthful appearance of one of the
speakers, whose disconree, tettemly seemed to be merely
a series of Scriptural expressiolii, strung promiscuously
together. The propriety of one so youlg figuring so
conspicuously before a street audience has been seterely
questioned in London ; and the stricture may apply
with equal emphasis to Liverpool. At any rate the
opponents of Street preaching. will .not further their
object in any way by causing roughs to assemble for
the purpose of disturbing- the services, unless it be
merely` the annoyance of a deserving class of men.
