supposed to be a stab. The body is at the dead house

THE LATE POISONING CASE.—It was currently re-
ported yesterday afternoon that Winslow had been

vast crowd of people assembled in the neighbourhood of
his residence in consequence of this rumour.

THE REVIEW AT KNOWSLEY.—Mr. Raffles announced
yesterday, that he would sit on Saturday morning in
the Police-court, at nine o'clock, in order to dispose of
the business as soon as possible, to give the police and
the public, who might have business in the court, an
opportunity of attending the review at Knowsley, if so
inclined.

• SENSIBLY DRUNK ! A person who was charged
before Mr. Raffles, yesterday, for being drunk, said
there were degrees of drunkenness, and he was in the
state called "sensibly drunk." Mr. Raffles said he did
not understand that sort of thing. The prisoner said
his meaning was, that he was sensible enough to know
that he was quite drunk. He was fined (of course) 5s
for this " explanation."
CAUTION TO TRADERS AND OTHERS.—Mr. Samuel
Thompson, of Halifax, forwards us the following state-
ments. He says that there are £90,000 of forged notes
and base coin in circulation. During the last two years.
two hundred counterfeit sovereigns, besides large quan-
tities of crowns, half-crowns, and shillings, together
with a quantity of half-sovereigns and several forged
£5 and £lO notes, have been taken at Blackburn. In
other places large quantities of florins are in circulation.
He states that on Saturday last, at Preston, he could
have received £35 for spurious notes. A £lO note has
passed through the Custom-house, and not discovered to
be a forgery till it reached the Branch Bank of England,
Liverpool.

FOUND DROWNED.—An inquest was held yesterday
afternoon, at Fernihough's Hotel, Tranmere, before H.
Churton, Esq., coroner for the district, on the body of
a man named Henry Irwen, 25 years of age, who was
found drowned, about five o'clock yesterday morning,
by Richard Jackson, on the beach near Tranmere.
The poor fellow was supposed not to be altogether
mentally right. He was engaged occasionally, it
appears, by Mr. Willoughby, and lived principally on
charity. On Monday night at, a late hour he was
ob3erved upon the Tranmere boat, and it is supposed
that he fell overboard in the act of raising a bucket of
water to wash the decks with. The jury returned a
verdict of " Found drowned."

VOLUNTEER CAMP AT CROSBY.—The Ist battalion of
Lancashire Volunteer Rifles, under command of Lieut.-
Col. Bousfield, which for the last month had been
encamped at Blundell Sands, Crosby, near Liverpool, on
Saturday received orders to break up the camp and
return to quarters. The day was fine, and the novelty
of "striking the tents" attracted a large number o
spectators. Before breaking up, the corps was addressed
by Colonel Bousfield, who in a few words complimented
the men on the uaiforra steadiness and aptitude they
had evinced in discharge of the duties of camp life.
They had shown, he said, an example to their fellow-
volunteers which every corps in the kingdom might with
propriety follow. The advantages of suck a course of
training, he said, were numerous. It was in discharging
the duties of the camp that au important portion of thei
military training must necessarily be acquired ; and in
camp they qualified themselves for the performance of
outpost and sentry work. Considering that they had
had extremely bad weather, it must be regarded as some-
thing to speak, if not to boast of, that they, civilian sol
diers, had voluntarily left their comfortable homes to
rough it under canvas ; a fact which of itself was suffi-
cient to prove that the Volunteer force is composed of
men who in the hour of need would be prepared and
resolved to do their duty.
A CHARGE OF STEALING A WATCH.—At the County
Magistrates' Court, yesterday, a well-dressed young man
named Samuel Curry, was brought up on a charge of
stealing a silver lever watch, valued at £6, from a
stable in Aigburth. He was also charged with stealing
a gold pin. The watch was the property of a coach-
man, named Joseph Curry. The property was pawned
in a shop at the Park. The prisoner was committed
for trial.—John O'Brien, St. Martin-street, was also
charged with stealing a spying glass, a telescope, and an
American clock, four silk umbrellas, a shepherd's plaid
shawl, and various other articles, at various times. It
appears that the prisoner, in connection, it is believed,
with other persons, has been in the habit of carrying on
a systematic mode of plundering the houses of gentle-
men in Seaforth, Waterloo, and Crosby. The prisoner
was apprehended in Liverpool, with the glass and the
telescope, and a number of pawn-tickets relating to
other stolen property, in his possession. The case was
remanded until Thursday.
REPEAL
OF THE UNION.—Last evening there was a
meeting of the workinc, Irishmen held at St. Patrick's
School-rooms, Grange-lane, Birkenhead, for the purpose
of obtaining signatures to the " National Petition " for
a repeal of the Union between this country and Ireland.
The meeting was fully attended. Mr. Edward Brennan
was called to the chair, who addressed the meeting at
some length, and denounced the conduct of those who
were encouraging rebellion in foreign countries, under
the garb of patriotism, whilst the greatest slavery existed
at home unheeded and unredressed. The Irish people
were seeking peaceably for their rights, whilst other
countries were covering their fields with blood, under
the pretence of seeking liberty, but, in point of fact, was
aiming at the head of the Catholic Church. The first
resolution was moved by Mr Francis Black, in a speech t
of some length and warmth, and was loudly cheered.
Several other speeches, all by young men, were delivered,
and received with applause. The sentiments were
directed chiefly to a passage in the Queen's speech,
and speeches made by members of the Government, to
the effect that the people of a country had a right to
self-government when not governed to their satisfaction.
The speakers generally stated that they would seek, by
all legal and peaceable means, for what they were now
asking; but, if finally refused, they stated that no one
could tell what might happen. History was drawn on
to show that nugland bad not treated Ireland fairly.
Other speakers vindicated the Pope's Irish Brigade, and
all called on the Irish people to push their claims with
energy, and prevent an ultimate war, which would be
the result in the end if her rights were refused. The
meeting ,was very orderly and unanimous, and separated
amid enthusiasm.

AMUSEMENTS.

THEATRE ROYAL.

THE ZOUAVES.

These strangers continue to draw crowds, who in
variably leave highly satisfied with the entertainment
Their engagement is drawing to a close.

ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.

Miss M. Oliver (who is a beautiful and accomplished
actress), Mr. G. Honey, and Mr. C. Clarke, consti-
tute an unusual attraction, scarcely equalled by any-
thing of the sort we have had here for a long time.
The Maggie Macfarlane of Miss M. Oliver, in " The
Bonnie Fishwife," is a charming piece of acting, and
Gaiters, as performed by Mr. Clarke, was one of the
most irresistible efforts of comicality that we ever
witnessed. We never felt more confidence in saying
that no one can witness such acting 'without being
immeasurably delighted. " Victorine,'!. " The_Last of
the Pigtails," and " The Bonnie Fishwife," are .
announced for this evening.
