town were- concerned. (Cheers.) instal to be
present on many such important '-,cfasions and bogged
leave to thank thembr the hor,,tir they had afforded to
him.

Mr. A snworret 'sal;
plea the health Mayer had as him to
ttis terlders of Bro ler Jonathan—thePr
• Ildessre eg'a •
- —kuea*, near) —wile deserved so much credit
for the vasei they had that day launched. If, however,
honesty and ability were ingeedieets of success, these
gentlatnen possessed all in an! eminent degree. (Cheers )
Ttseir energy an ',enterprise. g'addeeed the hearts of their
friends, and ehewed that they were equal to meet the
necessity of any -case thae might arise, and success was the.
result. (Hear, hear.) The vessels buil: by them gave the
greatest satisfaction, far they never dono things by halves
—they stopped not entil they were successful. He then
prepooed the firm, ane wished them every success. The
toast, was drunk with all the honours..
Mr. OGLE (one of the firm) returned thanks, and said—
he could hardly find woids to express his obligations. He
felt that one of his partners, (\lr. Robiusoni, who was
older than he was, Mould have performed the duty, but he
felt relieved of . mach Anxiety during tie la-t hour. ((leer,
hear.) No doubt all felt anxious to know how the vessel
would "go cif,' and as she did go oil so well, he was
relieved of much anxiety. (Hear, hear.). That was a
great comfort, hut when he heald the owno s express their
approbation of her, it emb;rras,ed him again, and he, almost
knew not what to say. They had alt seen the hull of the
vessel, so of that he need not epeek. The e.""gines were made
with' equal care and strength, and perfecly adapted to
the vessel. So, the ship and the engines were fitted
to each other, and, like vol mai and wife, would
s ;ck to each other f.tr Ffe. (Cheers and laughter.)
He then alluded to ship bu;:ding at Preston, and said it
seemed herd to bring peope to believe that ships were
really built at Prete,: n, but it was 'a fe t after all. (Hear,
and laughter.) And all for whom they had built ships
expressed their eatisfamien at the manner in which the
wo,k was perrorrned (tfe%r. hear.) On the same " ways"
that Brother Jonathan had been lauached from, another
vessel would be laid down in a few days, and, he trusted, it
would not be long until the: would be asgernbled there
again • to fling another bottle of wine at her head, too.
(Cheers.)
_That was a fac., ard ha hoped . aft r this that
I people would believa ships ware actually built at Preston.
( fleae, hear.) It was also a source of great setisfecrion
to him to kno at that the connection of the firm with the

United Steam Tug Company gave seti4action to that body,
and their Captain (Nywton), who was not- a• man that
could be misled in a'ly way.. (Hear, hear.) His practical
knowledge gave him superior p tw.ert, and he woull no;
say a word that wa not correct in all respects. Ha meant
what he said and nothing else. (Cheers.) In conclusion,
he aasured the assembly that the Cl 3 de, the Thames, nor
the Tyne, should ever beat Preston in meverials and work-
manship, and, having duly thanked the company, he sat
down amid loud applause
[The Dilavoa having been called nut on public haziness,
the chair was talon by Me Ashworth.]
Me. Routssorr, one of the fine of Ogle anti Co , also

re. tuned thanks. He said he attended to the engine depart-
ment of the concerns, and it was eleven years since he
commenced, and, duritg that period, he bad made 150
engines of all sorts—amine, locomotives, and factory—
(bear, hear)—amounting in the aggregate to over 30 000
horse power. They were made from 30 to 600 and 1,000
horse pewee. (Ilea-, hear) Nine were marina engines.
So that the house was not quite a novice in making
engines, and he c ,uld assure them the engines made
for the boat were about the hst he ever made
of between two and three hundred horse-power. (Loud
cheers.) Out of all these engines there was not a word of
complaint, and in the pre;ent case he had no doubt that
engines and ship would, as had Ixten remarked welt
h srmoniously tegathee, like man and wife. (.Cheers) He
then thanked the company, and sat down amid cheering.
Wirt,t tat OGLE also returned thanks.
Mr. Jour/ Da CesTs, of Liverpool, being called on to
propose a toast, said he felt great pleasure in doing so, and
he would therefore, give them " The Health of Captain J.
C. Stouffer, cf the Antarctic," the g .ntlae_an alio bad
performed the interes'ing ce-emony of baptising Brother
Jonathan. • (hear, hear.) It would, perhaps, be interest-
ing for them to know that the .:Pant and brave conduct
of that gen-lenian had aav:d the lives of 300 soldiers fr tm
the wreck of the San Francis le, that was burnt at sea over
two years yr. (Cheers.) -It was true that he (Captaln
Stotiffer) belonged to the Unite States--(hear, hear) - but
he took a deep interest ia the prosperity of the Company,
and his ardent wish was, that B other Jonathan would be
as prosperous in all her voyages as she was on her first
voyage that day into the water. (Hear, bear.) Besides
being a brave and generous American g-ntleman, he had
that day performed the cffice usually assigne i t r ladies, in
as graceful and feminine style es any lady—God bless
tly-m ail —could have done - (cheers and laughter) —and no
one was more c-p kble of doing. that duty than the Captain,
and it was a pleaeure to have such a gentleman among
them, who heard from competent authority that neither
the Thames nor the Clyde eonld beat Preston in the
product on of fine vess4s. (Cheers.) He was glad, also,
t) find, by the presence of several gentleman connected
with the press, that the proceedings of .he day would not

oily be male knew.i though Greii Brilain, hitt would be
eireulatei through the United States --(hear, hear)—and
that would sho M what WS3 doing in Preston (Hear, hear.)
tie had great pleasure in giviog the " krealvi of Cap',ain
Stouffer.
The toast was drink with all the honours.

THE N ORTIIERN- TIME S.-LIVERF-00Li -.lViO\ DAY, OCTOBER 5, 184,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE SATURDAY.

LIVERPOOL.
BEFORE MANSrItLD,

Wm; DESICRTION.—TEIOO2IS DeiViSS, of 21, Bevington
Hill, was brought up by Air. Williams, relieving. officer. and
out. door inspector Hughe., ch•-2rged with having, is April
last, deserted his wle and family, who became chargeable
to the parish a week ago. The prifoner was found working
at Cecsby, upon a farm belonging to his brother. He
complained. in defence of himself, that his wife had sold :a
horse and fhat belonging co him, and that she had beau
living with another man. The wife was herself examined,
and psitively denied both the allegations. Th 3 prisoner
was orderad to be rent to gaol for one month with hard
labour. _ _ _ .

THE DAY ow GENIERAL FAST.—Mr. Mansfield stated, in
answer to Mr. B uck that he would act in regard to Wed-
nesday next as he did on Good Friday--open the 'court at
ten o'clock, only far light cases, each as drunk and dis-
orderly cases; and then adjourn. He did not Think he
thoald be treating the Qaeen's procleimation with sufficient
respect if he di I not make any divinetion between
.that
day and others. He added that he did not thiuk there
would be any occasion foe the attendance of professional
gentlemen. '
A Deeraiiiiiiiteea—Col TIIIEVEEY.—A man named
Nixon William was brought up. -charged with having
stolen a boss tap from on board the screw steamer
lonia. balenging to Illeetsrs Peep;anni and Mussabini,
lying in dock The pries tour, it a peered, walked on beard
the vessel, deliber Ately unecrewed the tap and waked
away with it. He had gene some 'distan'ee befoee it wee
discovered vibes. he had been doing. Ha was then
followed and the tap found in hie pessession. It was
stated that the tap belonged -to the engine, and that if a
. fire broke out on board the vessel, its loss might have
entailed very serious c msequencee. Mr. Mansfield said
this was ono of these things which chewed how necessary
it was to repress thievery. Here was a trumpery piece of •
brass, worth not more than half-a crown, and because ' a
fellow choose to carry it off,, if afire broke out in' the,
vessel, which carried pa.steni,ere, three or four' hundred
persons might possibly have 1-At their lives. He ordered
the prisoner to be imprisoned f)r three, months with hard
labour, and aided that he intht consider himself very
leniently dealt with.
MAre crone Peosecui ore--George Dowbell, a bailiff, in
the empleyeef Mr.' Kirby, sheriff's offL-er, Silks charged by
Isebella Harreld. a girl of the town with stealing a silk
epeon and two broochee. The prisoner, with two other
bailiffs, went to the brothel in which the prosecutor lived,
in Frederick-street, to exacta's) a distress warrant for 3s. 9d.
Two of the bailiffs, se ernpanied by the keep r of the house.
went to pledge some clothes, f r the purpose of raising the
money, and the prosecutor alleged that while they were
out the prisoner, who h id rem fined in possession, went
up stairs and opened a box, and took a Bilk apron in which
the brooches were r died up. Mr. Black appeared for the
prisoeer, and said that he would prove that there was not
a mere respectable man in his bueiness in Liverpool.
Mr. Clough said that when the parties came to the Police
Office to prefer the complaint, their first charge was of
illeg+lly pledgibg. but they afterwards changed it to that
of robbery. The only witness to' support the charge of
robbery was a 'girl, who said she saw the prisoner lift tha
lid of the box, but though she promised to attend the
Court that morning, she yet strangely absented herself.
The warrant was served to get the people out of the house,
which sves a brothel, and in ost disorderly, and the prix tier
always bore a Most respectable character. His piece waz
immediately sesrebed, but no trace of the property was
found. Mr. Mansfieli said there could be.no doubt that it
:was a malicious and malignant prosecutio-, for the perpose
of annoying Dowbell because of hie having served the
warrant. It might be that, on- consideration, Mr. Black
and his client might think proper to institute a prosecution
against three parties for conspiracy. It , was °dap to
Diwbell's character that it should, be done. and it was
also important that the powers of criminal jostice shouhl
not be made available for the purposes of annoyane's bse
such eii-,greeeful strumpets and the bawds ..who maintained
them. Dowbell wee dschit-ged.
Severely) FttO)f TIS DUCK'.—A • man named Thomas
M‘Guinitss was charged with stealing c ,ppar fc qta the
Sandoa Graving Dock, and committed for threeettenthe as
ngne and vagAb mi. Mr. M4,:a,field a-ked why it wecr
that such parties weie not keet out of 'he graving dock?
They had as litle right to go there as into any priirau
work yard.. Mr. Clough replied that if th t graving deck,
were under the charge of the regeler police such persons
would be prevented frou. entering than. T, e docks were
a' present under the charge of the dock rollers, who ea*
appeiroted by the Dock Trus'ees, and they were mere
cyphers in preventing such parties from frequenting th 3
docks. Mr. M tnefiall said it should be ,represented to
ilia authorities, for scarcely a week passel without parties
twing brought up for theft from the graving decks.
A "loafer," na ned J.lues Hughes, was placed in
the deck, charged with !Pealing a number of plates from
the ship Tiptree, now lying in the Wepping Dock It
appeared that the prisoner was Seatenced, in 1853, to ten
yeses' trantportation for coining, but obtained IA ticket-of-
leave some time since. The meta of the vessel com-
plained •cf the annoyance which they suffered
in the doCke from Bitch pert;e I, who stole everything they
could Jay hands on. Mr. Mansfield thought the' police
shout l be instructed to being up parties who had been elm-

mitted to priori, and were, hfer their d•szha,rge, to be found
about the 'docks. Jf such persons were brought • before
him, he would commit them as vagrants for three months.
Nir. Clough. said that such an order.. W 9,9 issued in Mr.
Bushtcn's time, but that it was carried too far, and many
poor men in consequence were prevented from earning
their livelihood. The officer, before tvresting any r-f such
parties, should be sr.ti,ll:d t`sat hi 3 object in going about
the docks was not to seek enploymant, but with a telonius
intention, and therein lay the diffieu!ty. Mr. Mansfield
recommended that the -matter sh-.:uld be mentioned to,
Major Greig.
RICCKLESS DRIVING —A young lad, named Wlliam
. •

WoldA, driver of a .* privg-t;trt, .the do;•k

. „ .
charged with causing the enathof a cluld, by driving ever,
ir, in Parliament-street, on Friday night. I; .appevert that
the prisoner.was tAing a Lumbar a sailers to the rl ek4
on the evening in fines bit, awl as ha was ah •tit, to turn
in o Parltarneut-street • Lou Mill street, a little b ty,
ab-mt four years of age, named William Scott Wright,,
wh its parents reside at 37, Anderson out, t, G-,eat
Ilomar-street, was observed cros-ing the stieet: The
prisoner was driving at the ta-e of five or six•
mles an heir, and Fereral pers•nP, amongst
where the policeman on the beat, seeing the danger of the
child, cried out to him to pull up He would not heed the
warning, but still drove en at the same tp.led.- The coriFe-
4uenca was, that the child was knocked d iivn by the ht rso,
and the wheel of the c.trt pes-ing over its head, killed it
on the spot. Even after this awful and painfil event, the
prisoner' still drove on, and it was only at er the ti3liceman,
by swift running, headed the cart, that he stopped. Mr.
Mansfield observed that it:was unquestienably a ea Na of
g-osi carelesst2e.ss. and not the fi-st by very Many wbi(!i came
before him in a short time, where parties complained Af
the reckless manner in which such fell •ws drove, to the
danger of every body in the town. ' Hardly a rnm,h pasq;d
that some aged;per,on or c 7111.1 was not de tr)yed by the
gross Carelessness ant recklessness c.f thos3driyar4, anti, as.
an examo!e, he would send the prisoner for trial to the
next assizes fir mans'eughter. The prisoner was ac-.:ord-
ingly committed for ttiA.
ALTERING tbi ENB' CRRTIFIC (TO. —R9.101 Mitchel, alias
Rafael° Mld trovich, a board'ng hots,- keeper, living in 8
Courr, Hurst-streat, was charg.d wi h altering a seaman's
certificate. It aopenved that a shlrt time since a fireiga.
seaman, named John Birch, was disteherged from his ship
in Glasgow, and in the cert)ficato which he received
capability was put (1.-.wri as "vary gild,' but his cond let
as "inillierent." When he came to Liverpool he fountit
vary difficult to gat a ship on this certifica.e, and accord
ingly the prisoner for the turn of 2 git the word " indif-
farent" erased, and the word: wry g ,o,1" suhatituted
The erasure wan very cleverly done, but Birch haviUg
mentioned the matter to Mr. Bena4si, who had catitio.led
him against the dan.ger of getting the certifica'e altered,
gave information of the circumstance to the an'horities
of the Sailors' Homo. Mr Tytriall appeared'- for the
prmecution Mr. Black appeared for the defendant,
and called witnesses to show tl.at he was out of town
on the day the erasure was alleged to have been
made. Eluperintendent Murphy, of the Sailors' Rome
proved, however, that he not only saw him, but hid him
under surveillance on that day. Mr Mansfield said, he
had no doubt that :his practice had been exceedingly
contra* in Liverpool, and the off,nce had not been hithert
looked after with the vigilance which it des rved He had
no doubt that it was worth the while of the def-ndant to
run the risk, even for the small sum of 24., but, for the
future, parties would be shown thst such c:-induct way.
attended with very great p -ril. The defendant should
thin me pay £2O and costs, or be imprisoned for two
months.

ASS MVP BY A BOARDING lIOIPE KRIIPER ON A SAlrar/It
Wdliam Eheridan, bultdir g hone kseper of Gibraltsr-
row, was cha;gad.with having commit e i a series of un-
provoked eP saults on a .seaman, name]. John Davidson.-
From the complainant's sta+ement, it appeared th..t he
arrived at Liverpool in. tha barque Alar 4, to the 15 h of
last month, and that he went to 1:-.4-1ge wilt the defendant.
He was paid off at the Sailors' Home, on the 19 h, but,
acting on' good advice, instead of taking away his moaev
ha banked it at the Dome. When the defendant learned
this, he at once, even in the neighbourhood of the Efoins,
knocked down the complainant, and when they returned
to Gibraltar row, he, aided by his wife and a third pa, ty,
again assaulted Davidson. put hint in irons, and kept him
a close prisoner until Monday the 218 t, whp be 1y45

duced to go to this home and draw hie money. The first
assault was clearly proved, but from the evidence of
shipmate, and a• fellow-lodger,: Davidson's ao^..:,ant of the
subsequent tram sac. ion was rather apocryphal. • Ile, lo,ked
a thorough old salt; the mangier in which he detailed his
mishaps, and the dangers which he had passed through,
was most amusing; but his intellects seemed none of the
clearest. Mr. Campbell appeared for the defence, rid
suggested that he must have dreamt, whilein his cups, of
having been placed in it The defendant was fined for
the first assault £5, e.r two months imprisonment.
