NUMBERING OF THE STREETS

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIIIE9,
Sir,—Some peripatetic individuals seem to be unusually
put about, just now, with the very praiseworthy efforts of
the authorities to improve the numbering of the streets,
which, to say the least of it, were greatly in want of
reform. No other town of half Liverpool's size, out of the
Emerald Isle, being, I venture to say, in such a state of
" sixes and sevens.' But, of course, far better to continue
this " Balakclaviacal " confusion and trouble rather than
the " Lad of the Flags," and his fraternity, should haie to
slightly alter their " large stock of invoices, receipts, and"
notes."—Yours, &e., COCKER.

POOR LAW BILL —A bill brought in by Mr. Bouverie,
and Mr. Grenville Berkeley, provides for the relief of the
poor in places extra parochial, by annexing such places to
the adjacent parishes. Where the population exceeds 300
the place will become a parish of itself.
RUSSIAN ABSENTEES.—A letter fisan
" The colony of Russians who have passed the last two
winters here are about to diepeese. A great number of
them will leave for Paris, where their strength will be
increased by reinforcements direct from Rusi.l4."
THE CZAR'S CORONATION.—A. lace manefecterer at
Berlin has received an order from St. Petersburg for
9,000 ells of golden lace, and a similar order has been
received at Paris. This material is intended for the gala
livery of the Imperial house at the coronation fetes.
RONCONI TUE VOCALI,T —The Ma 'rid jaimials state that
the Queen of Spain has presented Roneuni with a valuable
crown of gold representing leaves of laurel, arid orna-
mented with brilliants ; aiso• that the directors of the
Circo have presented him with a crown in silver, with
their names, four in number, engraved on it.
THE HEALTH OF PRINCE JEROME.—The Monitore,. states
that his Imperial Highness Prince Jerome Napoleon, who
has recovered from the illness with wnich he has been
attacked, visited the Emperor and Empress and the -Im-
perial Prince on Sunday. On leaving the Tuileries, his,
Innerial Highness took a drive to the Bois de Boulogne. !
THE TIPPERARY BANK.—The English shareholders of
the Tipperary Bank have had several meetings, with the
view of concerting measures for their own protection in
the arrangement of the affairs of that establishment.
They are said to have availed themselves of the best
advice at the Irish bar, and to have been informed that
several legal points can be raised in resistance of their
liabilities. At the same time they express a disposition
to deal with the case, if possible, on equitable terms.
THE CABINET,—There is a very strong rurnoar4whieh
we believe to be perfectly correct, that Sir J. Graham and
Mr. Sidney Herbert will, in a day or so, again join the
Palmerston administration. Frequent interviews, it is
understood, took place oa Monday, between Mr. Herbert
and the members of the cabinet. Mr. Gladstone's accession
is more than doubtful, we believe. The report is, that
Lord Panmure, and perhaps Mr. Labouchere, will be the
victims, and that Lord Granville will resign on the ground
of ill-health.—Standard.
A CONFIRMED THIEF.—At the Middlesex sessions, on
Tuesday, a woman named El'z theth Jackson, pleaded
guilty to an indictment for- s*ealin2 property to the value
of £3 10s. The assistant judge having perused the depo-
sitions, said it appeared that the -prisoner was discharged
from the Westminster House of Correction, one morning at
half-past nine o'clock, and at eleven the same morning she
committed this theft in Rathbone-place, so that she could
not have lost much time. She had been previously con-
victed, and he should now sentence her to four years' penal!
servitude.
MORE Porsoratco.--On Tuesday, at Oldbury, WorcestiP shire, a man, named Henry Reynolds, was charged with
attempting to poison Margaret Skinner, a married woman,
by administering to her a quantity of poison. On sanday
night he was left sitting with her by the fire, at the house
where she lived; in an hour or two he aroused the other
inmates, and told them that the woman had taken some-
thing which would " lay her straight," and on going down
stairs they found her lying on the floor, and foaming at the
month, apparently very ill. A surgeon having been sent
for,' he stated that the woman was suffering from the effects
of metallic poison, which she said Reynolds had:forced dowti
her throat. A remand was obtained, the woman being too
unwell to give evidence. The 'fellow had been heard to
say that he would do for her, and upon his peison was
found a phial containing hi-chloride of mercury. -
ILL-EFFECTS OF FORTIINR TEX:LING.—At' the Thames
police court, on Tuesday, a well dressed youug. woman,
named Mary Ann 'Manson,- 30 years of age, was charged
before Mr. Yardley, with hiving attempted to commit
suicide. 1t appeared that the young woman, who
seemed in a state of great mental angtiish, and trembled
violently, some time since received authentic intelligence
of the death of her husband, a sailor, while on a voyage,
to Calcutta, and last Sunday she was married again..
She and her husband' went to' Rosherville Gardens,
where a person who pays a sum of money to the pro-.
prietor for the privilege of telling peel-0e their fOrthnes,
told her that her first husband was alive. This so un-
settled the defendant, that in a fit of distraction she
attempted to drown herself in the London docks, and
was saved with great difficulty. Mr. Yardley having
admonished the prisoner for her folly and ere !nifty,
extracted a solemn promise from her that she would not
repeat the attempt on her life; and the prisoner was
then discharged.
