THE 3101slitY OF THE LIVERPOOL BEIDEWELL.—
At the main bridewell there ie a monkey which is a great
favourite with all the °Main of the prison, mad with whose
history is consewed a pleasing incident. On. bleak, windy
night, in the early part of last winter, there came to the
bridewell a young seaman, who stated that he was in deep
distress, and asked be a night's shelter from the storm.
There was something alr..nt the young fellow which touched
the man at the books and the youth was placed is
a rerun in which then was • Ara. Ia the morning
be rank .d a din of bread, and as there was no
charge age& st him, he wee told that he might go.
ai He upraised his thanks, and deputed ; bet in the
snakes returned, and stated, as before, that he bad so
pine of shelter from the night. Hs was told to wait until
the governor should be spoken to, and was summoned into
Mr. Parkinson's per nes. Me was a yuag man, about 21
years of age, and had ap hone.t, open, good-natured eons-
tenant ; bat there was something about it which, with the
decayed appearance of hie habiliments, ovefiraed his tale of
distress. He related his history, sal stated that he was then
without • ship ; that ha had incurred • debt for lodging at
a boarding-h.uso, where his clothes were detained for the
amount, sad having neither money nor raitsUltal he was
ampelled to lean, and after the day's fast he had sought
temporary shelter for the might in brideweli. There was en
ardeas bluntness, yet respeetfuloass withal, that impelled an
interest on the part of the governor in the young fellow's
mos ; sad he directed that he should be allowed to frequent
tee bridewell, until something might turn up for him; and
Jack"—for that arse the families nautical cognomen by
which he chess to be known—became • niontary inmate of
the prison-hone for several weeks, during which time his
Seed was supplied from the grreraor's table. Jack scorned
West the " braid of idleness,' and his kind, obliging dispo-
sition, in discharging any trifling oMcs in which his minces
maid be tamed to account, rendered him a general favourite.
The men intimated a subscription fee him, to which the
governor handsomely contributed, and by thin means, aided
by friends out of doors, enough was raised to pay off the
debt, mad redeem his clothes. Mr. Mania, publican, Park-
lane, was inatruntal in procuring him • ship, and Jack,
after touchingly taking leave of his friends, set sail on •
voyage to the suet of Arlin. About • tonight ago, he
again presented himself at the bridewell, " well
Miffed,' and. carryisg • aseakey in hie arms. He
had just set hot on shore. After mutual warm peelings,
he made anion inquiry as to tie governor and his
&mil', and being introduced to them, hie ',allege over-
came him, and • tear of_ joy trickled lowa hie young but
weather-goatee cheeks. He presented his monkey, which
he said he had brought for Hr. Perkiness's youngest son;
that he had had two parrots, but aithough they were
" treated like Christian," they died on the passage. lir.
Parkinson offered money is ousideratiou, upon which the
smile of gladness deputed from the young sailor's fees
he beams deeply affected, and said, " Governor, that's
too bad. All that cheered me when away was the thought
of yaw ; for when she lay on her beam ends it waent half eo
dreadful as the storms when I took shelter here, and new
you offer to pay me for the monkey that I brought to show
that I'd not forgotten your goodaesa." The governor toned
that he had touched • tender chord, and withdrawing the
moan, he said it had bees offered merely to defray exposes
which had been incurred. Jack's ountenance brightened
up, and ke handed his monkey to Ito future master, Ant
!Ming affectionate leave of it. The mem have adopted it as
' the nooks, of the badmen," and, having procured for it
• warm kit, it quite happily frisks about, Its Woke and frolics
affording much amusement and it is, as one of the officers
said, useful in many wen, for it has began to handle • pen,
and may soon learn to enter charges.
