An old, and decidedly an artful-looking dodger,
named John Cameron, was brought up on the following
charge. Mr, Bluck defended. The history of the case
was as follows. Piom the eieidente it appeared that the
prisoner has been long known to the Liverpool, Man-
chester, Sheffield, Birmingham, and other police, as a
frequenter of auction-rooms, private and public, and
that he had been convicted of stealing property front
such places. He had just come out of Knutsford jail,
when he was arrested on the following charge. On the
30th of January last, Calitain Murphy, who lived in
Spencer-street, was about going to sea, and taking his
wife and family with him. He called an auction to sell
off his furniture, &c., and it appeared the prisoner
attended, not to purchase, but to steal any thing be
could lay his hands on. A box containing a gold watdh,
chain, and other property to the value of over £5O, the
property of Mts. Murphy was stolen ; and it appeared
that the prisoner pledged the greater part of the pro•
perty the day after in Birmitighani. Mr. Block nude
forcible appeal in his favour, but his worship said tilt'
case was too clear and sent him for trial.

ANOTHER MIDNIGHT MEETING FOR FALLER
WOMEN.—Another meeting for the reclamation of
fallen women, was held last midnight, in the Teutonic-
hall, Lime-street, which was well filled, there not being,
apparently, less than 300 of these unfortunates present.
The Rev. M. Falloon, who was accompanied by the
Rev. Dr. White, the Rev. Mr. Hunt, Dr. M. Roche,
and Mr. Morrell, missionary, after tea had been served,
addressed the meeting in a very appropriate and timely
address, many passages of which. seemed to make great
impression upon his unhappy listeners. We understand
that about fifty of the young women who were present
accepted the offer of the committee to go to the Home,
in St. Anne-street, anel they were conducted thither at
a late hour this morning by the Rev. Dr. White and
other gentlemen.

WILLIAM KIDD, ESQ., AT HOPE-HALL.—In our
yesterday's publication we noted the fact that this
talented and popular gentleman delivered the first of a
series of lectures on natural history, at Hope-hall, on
Monday evening. The audience on that occasion was
not so large as might have been expected from the high
reputation which the lecturer enjoys, not only in this
but in every town that he has visited. The Chairman,
(T. D. Walker, Esq.) in introducing the lecturer, ex-
pressed the hope that there would be a more numerous
attendance at the two succeeding lectures, one of which
will be delivered to-night. The lecture was upon
" Beasts, Birds, and Fishes," and the lecturer opened
1 his observations by stating that he was delighted to
know that the subject upon which he was to lecture had
many admirers in this town,
and that there were several A
in
great naturalists residing it. The object he had in
~,tst
view was to divest his favourite science of all technical
phrases, and every hindrance to its study by the masses.
Some scientific men wished to keep their knowledge to
themselves, but he wished his neighbours to know as
much as himself; and, on that account, endeavoured to
write and speak as popularly as possible. He then
observed that he wished his hearers to possess the
power of making every living thing they saw love
them, and entered into an explanation of the way
in which this was to be done, the moving principle being
kindness. If we really loved them, they would love us
in return. This reciprocal tendency he characterised as
a sort of magnetism. He then gave a description of his
aviary and its 366 feathered inmates, with a humorous,
detail of their tricks, pranks,. gambols, and fun. He•
then gave the history of
a pair of pigeons " educated at.
Cambridge University," and discoursed upon happy and,
unhappy families, how to tame minutely small fish, a
remarkable pair of dogs, the squirrel, and the guinea-pig,
&c. He illustrated his subject by a number of anec-
dotes, which did not fail to produce the greatest mirth ;
and. also exhibited several German canaries, and a gold-
finch which had been lent himself for the occasion by a
gentleman in Liverpool, besides other birds. The Ger-
man canaries sang beautifully when desired by Mr. Kidd.
The lecture was altogether of a most entertaining and
instructive character, and there is no doubt that the
hope expressed by the chairman will be realised.
