LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE; I THE LATE COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.

(BEFORE MR. R. ft HinVEY.)
THE SwrLir, MOB'S PEOPLE.—Jamee Sweeney alias
Thomas Itenteleson, and Mary Sinclair alias N'Farlane'
were brought up oil remand, charged with
picking the
pocket of Mrs. Godwin, of Birkenhead. The facts of
the case have been twice publiCed. Mr. Bluck defended.
Inspector Kehoe asked for another rem and, on the
ground that the evidence from Glasgow would silo* that
the prisoners were notorious travelling thieves. He also
asked for the remand in consequence of the absence of
Mrs. Godwin, from illness. Mr. Bluck very strenuously
opposed the request, but his Worship granted the
remand to twelve o'clock this day.

On Saturday the American ship Cherubim, which
caused the terrible catastrophe to the Ocean Erome emil
grant ship, off the Lizard, on the sth instant, arrived is
the river off Gravesend, but no investigation will take
place by the Board of Trade, both ships coming withitE
the category of "foreign' vessels. and therefore do not

Come within the operation of the Merchant Shipping Act.
Some of the poor survivors, emigrants, reached London
Friday from Plymouth, and received every kindness
from Mr. May, the consul. The poor creatures gave
harrowing tale of i!:.eir sufferings. One poor man, a car-
penter, named Wynveen, rather advanced in years, lost his
wife, his mother, and five chiLiren, and about £lOO worth
of property, the result of seve,7.al years' hard earned
savings. He was in his berth with his family, when
the shock of the collision, and the rush or water between
decks aroused him. He ran up On deck to see what was
the matter. He endeavoured to return below to sTee his
family, but the rush of water prevented him. Ins few
minutes the decks were covered with water. He heard
the cries of those below, but they could not reach them,
He was put into the boat which was lowered. The
Ocean Home went down shortly afterwards. Another
.emigrant, G. Wensink, apparently a young farm labourer,
lost his mother, four brothers, and three sisters. They
had clubbed together for the purpose of purchasing land
in the United StateS, This poor fellow was below when
the catastrophe happened, and he spoke of the rapid man-
ner the ship filled. A third survivor, a young man,
whose mind seemed to have been almost turned by the
calamity which had befallen him, lost his wife and three
young children. A fourth survivor had been deprived of
child:en. The consul made provison for their
ato Rotterjina. The loss of the Ocean Homo and
argo is estimated at about £200,000.

There would seem to be a strange fatality attending
ehips which are-named after the element they are destined
to traverse. There was the Ocean Monarch burnt at
Liverpool ; the foundering of the Ocean Queen ; two other
Ocean 1,101;3,rch9 ; and now the Ocean Home, all within
the last few years.

SELECT COMMITTEES.-The select commi,!too on "Public
Moneys" and on the "Rating of Mines" 'lac!' made no
report, but the evidence is published. The re-appojrltEoent
of the committees will be moved for next session.

THE WEATHER. continues exceedingly fine and warm,
and there is every appearance of its lasting a considerable
time. Yesterday was sunny and quite like a midsummer
day. If any of the late harvest remains ungathered, such
weather as the present will bring it to maturity speedily.

CLAYTON HALL.—The Brousil Family continud their
highly pleasing and talented entertainment, every evening(,
at the above place of amusement; and the continued high
appreciation of their talents by the musical literati of our
town remains unabated. The vocal department is also well
supported by favourites of all classes. We understand that
the present engagement will shortly terminate, and would,
therefore, earnestly solicit our readers to give a " bumper"
to the worthy lessees.

TtiE HEAD.—The importance of taking care of the head
at all times. but more particularly at this season, when the
weather, as it were, jumps from ono extreme to another, is
apparent. ii, is therefore necessary that great attention
should be paid to ti.LC .sort of hat we wear. There is a
large and superior assortri;f.nt of these articles at Mr.
Woods, Lord-street, and we can st.;.,' from experience, that
for durability, lightness, ventilation, sty:o; and price, the
articles cannot be surpassed. Some newly inth7fluoad hate
are well worth inspection, for a combination of su‘'.‘Tel
quality, and cheapness.

FlRE.—Yesterday morning, between two and three
o'clock, a fire broke out in the extensive timber yard of
Messrs. Rankin, Gilmore, and Co , south end of the pot-
teries, and for some time the greatest alarm prevailed in the
locality as to the safety of the enormous pile of timber in
the piece. Soon as the alarm was given, reels and engines
%" to the South Dock, Essex-street, and Temple-court were
in pron;;lt attendance, and in about an hour and a half, by
united exertion, the fire was got under. The amount of
damage done could not, at present, he ascertained. Mr.
Hewitt, and the police, acictl with their usual skill, and by
their aid the fire was confined soiclv to the timber yard.
BROUGIIAAI LITERARY AND DEBA 7tlga SOCIETY.--Thee
society held their third meeting on Fri42Y last in the
Clarendon-rooms. Mr. Redmond, vice-president, occupied
the chair. The secretary, Mr. William Scott, ,'cad an
essay on " Elucation." The essay touched upon u-,..snY
points, especially home, school, and the government com-
pulsory education. The essayist showed folly the influence
of the great religious societies upon the opinions and pre-
judices of the people—upon the system of government
interfering and compelling parents to educate their children,
The society had a warm debate, and it was held by a
majority that government had no right to interfere in the
Matters

QUEEN') MALL, BOLD•STREET.—On Saturday morning a
fashionable audience attested the continued anxiety of the
public to witness the clever feats of the talented "American
Enchantress," who, as many of our readers pleasingly
rcmember, for some weeks past has been performing at the
above Hall, The neatness and " cleverosity" exhibited by
this lady in the celebrated " Gun Trick," and the thereby
maaufacturl, of oranges and lemons, together with the
"ivizirding of sweeties, all of which were plentifully dig,
tributed amongst the audience, particularly the younger
branches, realised an amount of pleasure rarely to be wit-
nessed. By advertisement, we observe this lady closes her
present series lof entertainments on Saturday next, and
would, therefore, advise our friends to take an opportunity
of spending an evening with this " fair enchantress."
THE " TIMES" AND MR. CHARLES PEMRERTON.--011
Friday evening, and all day on Saturday, a large number of
small boys and girls seemed to be doing a good stroke of
business in all the great thoroughfares of the town, by
exhibiting a large placard, on which the following words
were printed—" The Times on Pemberton." The merchan-
dise consisted of a " broadsheet," on which was printed an
article that appeared in Friday's Tines in reference to a
recent affair in our Court of Bankruptcy, the said sheet
being 8,1 cl" for the low charge of one half-penny." From
what we saw, the vendors must have done "a roaring
trade," for we observed thousands of copies disposed of in
quick time, and we have heard that some hundreds of
thousands of copies went off freely, so eager Were the
public to see " the Times on Pemberton."
Coatis.—Of all the minor evils which beset humanitys
and in one of its most tender parts, perhaps these small but
exquisitely painful callosities, from which the feet of but
few are free, are the worst. The daintiest foot, if encum-
bered wi h them, must, perforce, be thrust into an ugly,
because loosely-fitting shoe or boot, thus incurring the risk
of easing one part, and causing a precisely similar incon-
venience in another, while the change from the neat shoe or
boot to its lax substitute is productive of an awkward and
inelegant gait. We fancy that any one effectually relieving
the corn-encumbered foot at a moderate charge is deserving
or, and likely to obtain, both popularity and enaolument.
Mr. Sims, from Berlin, it will be seen by reference to our
advertising columns, proffers his services to relieve those
whose feet are afflicted with these painful excresences ; an.
certainly his testimonials entitle him to that credit which
generally is a guarantee of success in a profession—a
success, we hope, he will meet with in our good borough of
Liverpool.
