THE MARTEN PIC CURES. —The chief d'ccurres of Martin,
the great master of he "limner's art," still continue on

exhibition at the gallery, Old Post-office-place, and those
who have not yet availed themselves of this, the last

.. _ .
opportunity, of contemplating the extraordinary effects of
this excellent artist, ought not to delay embn.cing it. The
collection remains open for a few dais longer, and the
public spirit which has induced Mr. Isaac to p esent to the
public, merits, indeed ought to command, their most ex-

teneive patronage.
D BEERY OF £2OO IN AN OMNIBUS.—An extensive
gang of extremely clever swell-mobsmen at present infest
the omnibuses of the town, and travellers, especially ladies,
should be on their guard. Several robberies have taken
place during the past week, of which the following were
the most s.rious. Yesterday afternoon, a lady named
Burgess, who lives in Texteth•park, was alighting from the
Mill-street 'bus, when she folud that her pocket had been
entirely cut awny during the journey. It contained £2OO
in notes and gold. On Thursday afternoon a number of
ladies were proceeding by the Edge-lane 'bus to the flower
show. A fashionaltly dressed youth, who had a cloak
thrown over his arm, asked what the fare was, as soon as
the 'bus had reached Clayton-square, paid the sixpence
demanded and got out. The vehicle had only proceeded a
few yards when one of the ladies missed her purse, which
cent fined several pounds, and which was safe in her pocket
a moment before. The 'bus was again stopped, but the
young " g nt" had vanished.
LIVERPOOL PILOTS' BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.—The animal
festival of this society, which has for its object the relief of
sick members, widows, &c., took place on Tuesday last, at
Mrs. M ty's Lamb Hotel, Wavertree. The day was spent
in the utmost harmony and good feeling. The amusements
were bowls, quoits, &c., and a fine band of music enlivened
the assembly. At four o'clock, a sumptuous banquet, of the
most recherche kind, comprising the finest delicacies of the
season. was ',placed on the table in Mrs. May's best style.
After the cloth was drawn, appropriate toasts added to the
harmony of the evening, and speeches made consonant with
the benevolent objects of the association. It may be stated
that the monthly meetings of the society are generally held
at Mr. Whiteman's New Brunswick Hotel, Clayton-square,
whose health was toasted with applause, as one of the guests
of the party. The chair was ably filled by Mr. Hugh Wood-
ward, one of the oldest pilots of the port, and Mr. Thomas
Richards, secretary to the society, had the best enconiums
'or his attention to its interests. The worthy hostess was
tlso most heartily received, and lauded for the handsome

manner in which she had provided the entertainment for the
association. The day, fortunately, was particularly fine,
and the party retired at a seasonable hour, after a day of
the most rational enjoyment.
DISEMBODIMENT OF THE 3HD ROYAL LANCASHIRE
MILITIA. —At about eleven o'clock in the forenoon of ,
Thursday, the members of the 3rd Royal Lancashire Militia,
one company of which has recently returned from active
service at Gibraltar, assembled on the Preston Marsh, under
the command of Colonel John Wilson Patten, M P. ; Lieut.-
Colonel Mathias, Major Cross, and a full compliment of
officers, for the purpose of being reviewed by Major-General

the gallant general proceeded to address them, and, in the
course of a brief speech, he alluded to the voluntary service

Mediterranean. He complimented them on their soldier-
like bearing and precision, and told them that no county
militia had contributed more to the defence of this nation
than had the 3rd Larcashire militia. He concluded by
saying—You are now about to be disembodied, and it must
be a pride to you, when returning to your homes, to know
that you have received such high military encornituns as have
been passed upon you, an ,1 with a happy concientiousness of
having gloriously done your duty in the service of your
Queen and country ; and lam proud to have to express to
you my noblest thanks for such services, I thank you,
Colon,' Wilson Patten, fur the services you have rendered
in bringing the regiment to such a state of perfection, and
I also thank the officers under your command for their
united services. Three cheers hiving been heartily given
fir the gallant Colonel, the regiment reformed and returned
to their barrack.
