A M knINT MATE'S WA;;4INO TO "DCKII "-At the Liver-
po.il police court on Friday, (1. Byford appeared to answer a
summons fur an &vault, obtained against him 1,,y G. Besing-
ton. Mr. BeN ington sold to Mr. Byfnrel, on account
of Mr. Ingledew, tea broker, a quantity tif tea, amounting
to 881. to be paid for in three months. :is I knew that Mr.
Byford was not rich, I wrote a note tf., him a few days before
the time arrived, stating that 'tie money mast be paid
according to bargain. Findin!, defendant did not attempt
to pay fur the teas, I made a personal application, when he
said he had not made up Lis mind what he slould do ; and
he returned similar an,w(rs to other applications. Or. the
Itth inst. I went to his office and pressed him for payment,

when he threatened to knock my head through the wall,
seized me by the collar, thrust me forcibly into the prasage,
and tumbled me over a box, by e hich I was much bruised
and very much hurt at the back of the heed. Mr.
. Byford defence pleaded a set-off, and in eon-
thr-ation said, Mr. Bevington kas c lied upon me
several times, and particularly on Monday list, to
know my intention respecting the teas. I stated that I knew
nothing of him in the matter, the whole transaction being
between me and Mr. Ingledew. Mr. Bevington still per-
sisting to annoy me in the presence of a geutleman with
whom I was engaged, I requested him to leave iris office—
he refused—l threatened, if he did not leave quietly, to turn
him out; he still refused, and was proem:ding in defiance of
all I could say, in inter. uption of my interview with the
gentleman, when, being irritated his obetimaiy, I roes
from my scat and hold with both hands on the collar of
his coat and pushed him into the passage, and closed the
door upon him.—lie again opened the door violently, and
used some insu:ting terms, hut upon my rising he walked
out.—Mr. Bevies tat said the defence 141 S all false.—Mr.
Rushton : You have no right to enter a man's place and re-
fuse to depart when you are told. If you visit a 1t11i11.101%06
to dun him, you must go out, it he bads you. If you refuse
he can turn you out. Ile must use no more force than is
necessary to put you out; but it' you resist, the consequences
are on your own head. 1 shall dismiss the case.
ONE. BROTHER STARRED par ANOTHER. —OR Friday, a
young boy, named I). Clarke, was brought berm, Mr Rush-
ton, at Liverpool, on a charge of having stabbed his elder
brother, John, with a table-knife. It appeared that the
prisoner accused John of having eaten his breakfast, and
that blows and the stab were given. The father appeared in
court, and said there had been no mother over the children
for the last four years, and that the complainant was an in-
dolent fellow, who refused to earn a shilling, and who not
only domineered over the whole of the children, but Oleo-
lutely,abuwel and cursed him (his father). " lie wished to
God,' he mid, " that Mr. Rushton could procure the rascal
some situation in which he could serve his king and country
abroad, for there was no hope nailer heaven of his doing
any good in Liverpool." The prisoner, on the ether hand,
was an ,industrious lad, always working, always earning
money for the support of the family ; and in a raiment of
passion, and when tke lad had been first abused and struck,
he stabled his lazy brother, for having devoured the whole
of his breakfast. Mr. Rushton said that nothing could jus
tify the use of the knife, and that were it not for the citrates •
stances derailed by the father, Oa! la I would be punished
severely; as it was, he might be discharged.

(luster Commercial Apociation have again memorialised
the secretary of gaffe relative to the unsatisfactory state of
the relations between this kingdom and the government of
Brazil, which curter on its load authorities the right to
administer the cetera uf all foreigners dying either in ur out
or that cowry, and leaving property therein, unless suck
foreigners arc subjects of st.tes having special treaties. The
memorialists express a confident hope that the way is at
length opened to the final and sett-factory adjustmeut of
this question, by the t qualistitiou uf the duties on the import
of slave and lice labour sugar.
FIRE AND LOSS Or Lit I:.—A very disastrous fire oc-
curred it Preston on Friday evening, attended with the
los; of a much respected inhabitant of the town. It broke
out in the upper part of the size house attached to Mr. Hib-
bert's factory, situate in Stanleyistreet, in an apartmert used
fur drying warps, which is effected by steam-piles. With
ustinvehing rapidity the flame; extended over the whole
building. A gentleman named Pickles, who owned some
property contiguous to that of Mr. Witten, was early on
the spot, with a e iew of rendering assistance : tin Met unately,
in his anxiety to ascertain the extent and progrem of the
tire, he perished. The deceased was encoeraging the fire-
men in their operations, when it is supposed that he stepped
forward to see if a door was properly classed, w hen the flagged
flooring from the intense heat cracked, aid precipitated the
unfortunate gentleman open the burning meats. lie was
seen to fall through the fourth and third floor and lodge on
the Seeolld, where his remain, mere gradually consumed on
the iron flooring. The roof shortly afterserels fell in and hid
them front I iew. On the ruins being sufficiently cooled, an
active mirth was made for what was left of the body. All
however that could be found were the charred remnants of
the trunk, legs, and am s. The property consented is said
to be insured.

her, he pulled out a pistol and deliberately tired it at her. The
woman fell, and the dial-gatemen seized the mould-he mur-
derer. Fortunately, th r woman had only itwo ttttt at the
sound of the pistol's discharge, and it is probable that it con-
tained ni.thing mote than n charge of powder. The man

for the opening or proceeding upon all cesunissions, fiats in
bankruptcy already issued, or hereafter to be hatted, against
any person or protons residing within *e divisions, towns,

to previous arrangement. The workmen, however, ware
determined to stand only by the old agreement of monthly
pay. They surrounded and took possession of a horse and
