A LITTLE LOVE Arrim.—Elizabeth Allen, 21 years of
with cheeks like a wild moss rose, and a pair of
winkling star-like eyes, charged a young fellow, named
Andrew Millar, the carpenter of the American ship
James Foster, for having obtained £3 5s from her under
false pretences. The complainant is a native of Newtown
Butler, County Tyrone, in that part of her Majesty's
dominions called Ireland, where her father resides
Ia comfortable circumstances. She was a passenger
on board the James Foster, to New York, and the
prisoner was the carpenter on board the ship. It may he
remembered that this vessel was tossed about for eight
-weeks, and, at last, by almost a miracle, she got back to
Liverpool. Whilst the vessel was thus knocking about
on the briny waters, that mischevious little dirty cupid
was making as much inroads on the heart of the girl,
with the wild moss rose cheeks, as the sea was on the
ship; and it seemed that Mr. Millar was the "lucky dog"
who came in for the e,lanees of the twinkling star-like
eyes of Miss Allen. Now, cupid is said to be a sort 'of
universal juvenile, and even in the middle of a storm at
sea he cannot behave himself, and so he went on with his
pranks to no end. The brave carpenter of the good ship
James Foster, as in-duty bound, told his " ladye love"—
or rather, the lady that loved him—for it appears he did
not care a " twopenny- ticket" for the poor girl - except
for her money—told her he had a lady friend
ia New York, who had commissioned him, to pr-
am • her a fine Irish girl, and that he in-
tended to introduce Miss Allen to something very
handsome in the way of employment. The ship having
CUM back, the chief portion of the passengers were sent
out in another ship ; but, according to the girl's account,
the prisoner induced her to take a lodging in Porter-
street, and also succeeded in persuading her to remain
unitil the ship was repaired, and would return, when he
-would have the "glorification" of escorting her to
lfiis lady friend in New York. She consented,
sad the ship being ready on Friday, she
took her traps down, but found to her dismay that the
faithless Millar had forgotten to provide her with a
berth, and the necessary appurtenances thereunto

AGAINST A CAPTAIN AND MATE OF ASSAULT
k case that caused a good deal

a interest came' on for hearing. It was a charge pre
tarred again-st John M'Clay, the captain, and Robert
Lloyd, the chief mate of the ship Merchant Prince, for
baying assaulted a seaman,• named William Hunter, on
the passage of the vessel from Bombay to Liver-
prol ; and there was also another charge against
3x.th, for an assault on Benjamin Brown, a
-black sailor on board the same ship. Mr.
Cobb' appeared for the complainants in both. cases

ceeding to state the case for the complainants, and had
