Houses of Parliament, from Mr. John Clare, jun.; °.f

this town, claiming the sum of £15,000 from the Admi
ralty, for having adopted some of his plans in the recent

construction of plated ships of war.

the anniversary tea meeting of the Grange-lane Baptist
Sunday Schools was held, when about 260 persons sat
down to tea, after which a capital sermon was delivered
by the Rev. Mr. M'Laren, of Manchester.

OXFORD EXAMINATIONS.--The middle-class clang"
nations for this district concluded yesterday. In the

course of the week nearly 117 candidates have been-
examined; the subjects comprising Latin, Greek, French*

German, mathematics, chemistry, zoolegy, drawing•.
architecture, political economy, English law, English'
history, &c. To-morrow we shall give an abstract of

the papers.

ACCIDENTS.—WiIIiam Fletcher, a nailmaker, residing
in Staffordshire, on returning from the Isle of Man bY
the steamer Douglas, was taken to the Northern Hospital
in a very dangerous state, arising from intoxication. A .
man, at present unknown, fell into a cellar in Bath' .
street when in a state of intoxication, and sustained
fractured skull. He was conveyed to the Northers
Hospital.

WEST DERBY BOARD OF GUARDlANS.—Yesterday this
weekly meeting of this board was held at the Workhouse-
Mr. Pilling presided ; the other members present were—.
Messrs. Haigh, Roberts, Medcalf, Jeffervs, WensleY,
Wareham, Woods, Abraham, Garratt, and Williams.--
The Governor reported that the number of inmates is
the house last week was 238; admitted since, 7; dis
charged, 17 ; dead, 3 ; this week, 227 ; corresponding -
week of last year, 254. In the hospital there were 6}
last week ; admitted since, 7 ; discharged, 8 ; dead, 2;

this week, 61; corresponding week last year, .98.
Cheques were issued as follows :—Mr. Potts, £110; Mr-
Roberts, £37 ; anti Mr. Lythgoe, £sl.—There was no-
other business.

" WANTED A MAGISTRATE."—This heading ought
to be stereotyped, and kept up in the papers, until gs-
justice of the peace can be found. Yesterday, as usualr
there was a want of a magistrate, much to the detriment
of the public, and a waste of time. Mr. Hamilton set
by himself for nearly three hours, before a second justice'
could be obtained. This is only an additional proof eg
the want of a second stipendiary magistrate ; as in most
cases two lay justices are required to decide War
wherein one paid flinctionary is sufficient. There will
be a general meeting of the Law Society held to-morrow,'
and we have beard that one of the subjects likely to
occupy the consideration of the assembly, will be the
appointment of a second stipendiary magistrate.
PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROM SHIPWRECK.—A ;test-
ing of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was belt*
on Thursday, at its house John-street, Adelphi, London ;
Thomas Chapman, Esq., F.R.S., vice-president, in the
chair. A communication was read from Sir Charles
Phipps, stating that he had been commanded by her
Majesty the Queen to say that she had accepted a beau-
tiful photograph of one of the lifeboats of the institution,
supposed to be proceeding off to a wreck on the east
coast. It had been taken from a fine picture, painted-
by Mr. S. Walters, of Bootle, near Liverpool. TII
Lowestoft lifeboat, which is in connection with this'
society, had, during the late hurricane, been intro''
mental in rescuing the crews of two wrecks, eight mat
from the brig Scotia, of Sunderland ; and five persons,
consisting of the master, his wife, daughter, son, aua
an infant, eleven months old, from the sloop Three
Brothers, of Goole. The poor master said that he
never expected to be saved ; but his wife with; teals
replied, " I had faith in the Lord that we should
never find a watery grave." Rewards amounting 14 •
£3B were voted by the institution to the crews of
this lifeboat and those of the Pakefield lifeboat, for their.
laudable services during the fearful gale of the 28th ittt.
Thirty-five casualties had occurred in the neigboushoodi
of Lowestoft alone during that dreadful and, sudden+
storm. It is supposed that between 300 and 4400lwreekik

have taken place during the hurricane of the 27th ult..
and 2nd inst., and that the number of lives that hi*
perished from them has been proportionately large..

brought up on a charge of having assaulted the steward and
one of the crew of the vessel, and for having attempted to stab
one of the men. Captain Noulton, the master of the shit),
stated that on the 26th of April, on the voyage home, the pri- .
soner assaulted one of the men and theeatened to stab another.
On the 16th of May, at night, the prisoner broke into the
steward's room, cut open his head with a piece of wood, sad
then ran at him with a knife to stab him. The witness and
mate put him, in irons, and brought him home so, Mr. Block.
for the priaonar, cross-examined the captain, who.said, the pri-
soner did not du anything to hint, but told hem to stand out of
his way. The steward and two of the crew proved the 'ibex*
statement, when Mr. Bluck contended that it was a conapirilei '
got up against the prisoner; but the captain denied, tile state*
meat, and said he would pay the prisoner every • farthing 44
his wages. Mr. Bluck said that was very handsome on the
part of the captain. The magistrates fined theeraisoner-£5 or •
three months' imprisoement,
THE INDIA-RUBBER PLUNDER. - • .•
James. Hesketh and Edward Burns (for letietia Mr. Vita
aPPeared), along with Robert Foulds, drugeist, were brought
up for final examination. They had beeh eereanded for the
purpose of Mr. Cobb producing a persen "tamed .Brown, wive • **E"
is in the employment of Mr. Edwerde, as Mr. Cobb alleged
that Mr. Foulds purchased the India-rubber from Brown
the latter did not appear when called on. Mr. Coble then
asked Mr. Edwards if he had any transaction, in reference to
India-rubber, wit 4 ally person in St. Anne-street, and Air^
Edwards rep:Ace that about three years ago he had some
small transaction with a person named Franey. This was all
the evidence in the case, and the three prisoners were there
sent for trial. Mr. Cobb applied, on the part of the prisoner
Foulds, that he might be admitted to bail; and after some
observations the magistrates said they would take two sureties
in £250 each for his eppeereuee.
POCKET PICKING.
Mary Blatt Margaret Spencer, and Aim Christie„ were.
brought ap on remand, charged for having picked at* gecko
of Sarah Newton. Mr. Cobb defended. A full report of this
case appeared in our paper of Saturday, and after WOO'
additional evidence given by an ex-policeman, named. Banks.
the prisoners were sent to trial. [ln the former report of this
case the name of the ex-policeman was given us Crayeford-
This was a mistake, and arose in consequence of the police-
officer calling out the name for that of Banks. Mr. Joh=
Crawford, who was a witness in the case, is a highly reepeotablee
person, in a responsible position, and it is to be regretted that.
he felt annoyed, but the mistake was not on the part of our
reporter, but on that of the police-officer, who regrets it also.A
APPLICATION FOR A WARRANT.
Mr. Bremner, on behalf of the Liverpool Shipwrights' Asir)"
elation, applied for a warrant to arrest a person named )
Williams at Devonport. From Mr. Bremner's statement, end
the evidence of Mr. Robert Callings, the secretary of the asee-
elation, it appeared tbet some time ago several of the Liver-
pool shipwrights were drafted to her Majesty's dockyard at
Devonport, and one of the rules of the society (which is a lege),
body) is that each member has to pay a certain sum weekly,
and for that purpose John Williams was appointed secretary
and collector at Devonport, and it appeared that he bad ne
accounted for any money since January, and on examining the
members' cards it was found that he was deficient £l6 1.9 a.
4d., and the application was for a warrant to arrest hires forams
defalcation. After some discussion, the magistrates. re

CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD.
A young fellow named James Wilson, who was connected
with a mock auction shop, in Byrom-etreetily" -charged under
the following circumstances :--Mr. Cobb 'aelended. A dock
labourer named William Clarke steted ''eat on the night of the

he was going to Ireland, and wanted money, and
he pulled out

SANITARY CASES.
Mr. Higgies, the Superintendent of Nuisances, had a num-
ber Cf houseowners, of courts, &c., summoned for not having
them white-washed, cleaned, and properly watered. The
magistrates inflicted a flue ia every case. It would be much
cheaper for the parties to have kept their places in order, for
the tines amounted to more than would have put the places in ,
a cleanly condition.—Mr. M`Gowan appeared to complain of
several bAlltlexa for not having complied with the Building_ A
Act. Tle e details lasted nearly all day,
