AMUSEMENTS.

THEATRE ROYAL.-To-night the first of a series of
alternwe Italian and English operas takes place in this
theatre. Some of the most popular vocalists at present
before the public will be found in this company. The
opera performed to-night will be " Sonnambula," in which
Madame Gassier and Mr. Sims reeves sustain the leading
parts. We believe the choral and orchestral arrangemeres
of each night will be as complete as the public of Liverpool
enjoyed during the recently produced eeries of Italian
operas, and, in point of fact, equal to• those of the first
metropolitan theatre. These attractions are combined with
one which no audience will cons.der wanting in power—
that of I ery remarkable cheapness.

THE NATIONAL OPERA COMPANY —The services of this
company are transferred for the present wer-k to the
Amphitheatre, and, notwithstanriing the rivalry of no
common kind the company will have to encounter from
that of the Theatre Royal, we do not doubt that it will
succeed in attzactirg audience., and earning, as fully as it
has done, popularity and success
Cuvrox .BALL.—Goanert CUHHING —We understand
that, at the earnest solicitation of many persons, even
those who have frequently been to the entertainment, Mr.
Cumming has consented to remain for the present week,
in order to give the artizan, and other working classes, an
opportunity of being present at the instructive and
interesting entertainment. Daring tha past week the
hall has been numerously and respectably at►tended, and if
any corroboration were needed to our description of the
excellence and filelity with which the g'fied hunter
portrays African li'e, the fact is to be found in the
testimony of the REA?. D:. Livingstone, who visited the
entertainment last we .k, and expressei his a tmirati m at
the whole—and who so well able to jacks as that worthy
minister, who has done so much for African civilization.
and the diffusion of the Gospel ? Mr. Cumming hat added
Same new scenes and descript'ons to the already thrilling
passages giver by him, and as his stay will certainly be
limited to this wmelc, none should allay/ the oaparLunity to
pass without the allayment of. the intellectual treat offared
at Clayton 11411, and which is now, as rega-ds the price of
admission, within the reach of all our fellow-cminvynasn.

The man was set n, on Friday evening, by a porter, lying
quite ac oss the rails, and was found to be speeehlssly
drunk. It was stated that not two mictres elope d from
the moment he was -removed until a tr,in pieced. The
defendant admitted his having bun drunk, and exprisied
his thankfulness fsr the si, gular escape, he bad had. He
stated that his rather w.s a lamb.-eiitt n nrAter in Man-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—SanzDAT.

LIVERPOOL.

BESPORR XL XASSFIeLD.
Amongst the " drunk and disorderlies," was Mr. Wm.
Danville, late prop-ietor of the "Hap," in Lime street,
who was charged by Bridewell keeper Butler, of the Rose-
hill station, with being drank, and creating a disturbance
at the station. It appeared that the defendant went to the
station and demanded assistance, because he had been
turned out of a public house. 'lbis, of course, was refused;
and he created a considerable row, (being at the time drunk),
ee that he was locked up. He was fined 53. and costs.
Mune 005 SAILORS.-3aljamin Wright, Samuel Mitchell,
and Charles fleets, three athletic young sailers, were
charged by Captain Campbell, of the ship Amethyst, with
a cons; iraey, mutinous conduct, and disobedience of orders.
Mr. Bluek defended the prisoners, It appeared that the
ship is a large one snd was on her voyage to Bombay. On
Thuredey last, when off the Me of Man, a leak was
discovered, and the crew had to work icceseantly at the
pumps, as the captain demed it prudent to return to
Liverpool. On Friday night the ship got into dock, and
the captain, fearing she want' sink, if not well pumped,
ordeied the men to work, until he could gat man to
aapply their place. The prisoners refused, and went on the
peep—shouted, waved their hats, and used abusive and
ehreatening language to the captain, and then went on
shore. They stopped away until Saturday morning, when
they went into the foree tette, and got their breakfast.
Whe.n the captain found they were on board, he called an
officer and gave them into custody on the charge. Mr.
Buck endeavoured to show that the men were over-worked,
and thst they only went on shore to rest themselves. Their
having returned to the ship, h 3 argued, showed that the men
had no intention of leaving the ship. His Worship said
the ease was a serious one, and as an example to others,
he would send them to jail for twelve weeks with hard
halo ur.

A Juvivriut DR.UNIZAIID.—A girl, named Mary Anne
Courtney, was charged with having stolen a pair of blot.,
frcm the feet of another girl, named Elizabeth Grimes.
She proieciatiix said she was 13 years of age (she appeared
well developed i)r that age) and that on Friday, she went
to see some friends off to Ireland, and they had, of course,
a parting glass; in fact, sho got drunk, and cn her way
tome, she sat down on some steps, where she fell asleep.
sal whilst in that state, the prisoner took the blots off
'l,a• feet and pledged them for a shilling. The prisoner
was temanded.
Tall CHANGE AGAINST A PUBLICAN IN SCOTLAND

3..o&o.—Marga-et Smith, Jane Doyle, Charles King, and
Samuel Ha risor, a publ'can in Seotlaud-road, were

brought up on remand. It may 133 remembered that in
She house of the prisoner Harrison, there was a large

quantity of various sorts of property found, and in addition
to the evidence already g van, which appeared a few days
ago, Captain Nance, of the ship Villier;, stated, that on
/richly night fortnight, he left the "Seven Stars" public
house, Cleveland-square, when he was accosted by
two females for a moment, and then ran away,
iirn en a small girl asked him if be had lost anything,
snd -then he missed his watch and chain. On the
following Mond evening, the prisoner King called
on him at the " Seven Stars," in compsny with the girl
Smith, and stated that they could get the watch fir
12, as the gifl, D•lyle, had sold it to Harrison. They all
went in a cab towards Scotland-road ; but when in White-

Chapel, the girl refused to go farther than Peter-street,
and then they were given into custody. The watch, a
sextant, and chronometer, cost him £.55. Superintendent
Xehoe was examined, and gave evidence the same as on
his former examination. Mr. Roberts, draper, of 3Se
Whitechapel, said the four new shawls now produced, and
,found in the house of the prisoner, Harrison, belonged to
him. About rine mon'hi ago these articles, with other
property, to the value of about £5O, were stolen from his
place, fled at present a woman, named Mary Clarke, was
steering feur years' renal f ervitudo for the rubbery. Mr.
Thomas Pilkington, foreman at Messrs. Earp and Co.'s,
Identified a coat that was stol'-n out of that establishment
en the 9th of May, and that was found in the house of
Harrison. Mr. Barton, landlord cf the Seven Stars public
house, corroborated the evidence of Captain Nance, so far
es the prisoners King and Smith were concerned. Mr.
slough sail there was a curious circumstance connected
with the affair, and it was this :—Some time ago a respect-
able passenger agent, Mr. Robert Martin, was robbed in
the house of Harrison, and he charged Mrs. Harrison with
rohNng him of his watch, and it would appear that she
brsught the prisoaers King and Smi•lt up as witnesses
for her, to prove her innocence. By some means or other
ape got off, and they she brought an action a ainst Mr.
Akartin for false imprisonment, and mulcted him in damagee
He believed the other prisoners were her witnesses on that
ateeasion also. Mr. Martin was examined, and said his
watch was stolen by Mrs. Heerison from him, in her
!tome. She was brought before the magistrates in the
aext room, and she brought up a lot of witnesses to prove
her innocence. The magistrate who heard the case, said
lie had no doubt she stole the watch, but he did not think
the evidence sufficiently strong to convict her, and she was
atieekarged She then brought an action against him in
the Court of Passage, and got a verdict of 40s. and costs
against him. Mr. Cbugh—Did they bring np the pri-
serum King and Smith as witnesses against you on that
evasion ? Well, I am not able to say now, but very
blely they did, as there was a whsle tribe of bad characters
lasex.glet up as wi nesses, and Harrison hflnself was also a
witness. Mr. Clough—l thought you could identity the
atber two prisoners ? Mr. Martin—l cannot positively
sty, but no doubt they were amongst the witnesses against
see. Mr :Mansfield said there appeared to be a nest of
thieves about that place, but so far as the girl Doyle was
eanrerned, the evidence against her failed, and she must
be discharged, but he would commit Harrison for trial on
the charges of receiving stolen property, and the other two
prisoners he would commit is regard to the watch. They
were accord;ngly committed.
Cuesous Discovitay.—A lamp-lighter, formerly in the

service of the Gas Company, whose name was given as
James Newell, or Newby, was cbarg3cl with having stolen
003118 brass an 1 copper from the steam-tug Satellite. The
ease was curious, for:the followit g reasons:—Some days
ago, a man named Paniston, who keeps a small brass foun-
dry in Horatio-street, was brought up by Sullivan, a de-
tective t slicer, and was tent to jail for two months for not
being able to account for possession of some brass, copper,
and other things that compose lanop frame., and which were
ksnnd by the officer with him It appeared, on the 0C23-
111.013 in question, that the man Pedstoa s'ated to the officer
that be purchased the articles from a man whose name he
dscl not know. This, of course, was not credited. On the
tension referred to, it was proved that a quantity of lamps
bad been stolen f mu the north and south ends of the town,
and the frames melted down for the value of the metal ; and
- the only thing to connect Peniston with the plunder was
the fact of finding some portions of broken lamp frames in
his place, which he maintained he had purchased from the
ankeown person. The police, of course, did not credit the
story, and hence the result alluded to. It turned out, how-
ever, to be correct. On Friday night the prisoner called
at the place of business of the unfortunate man, who is now
in jail, and offered for sale to his wife some brass and
copper. She at once recognised him as the person who
bad add her husband the former articles, and suspecting
all was not right, she gave him into custoly. It was sub-
sequently ascerta'ned that the property offered by the pri-
soner was stolen from the Satellite steamer, and Captain
Parry, the master of that boat, identifie l it. The case
being fully proved, the prisoner was sent for trial,
SUBBING —Peter Antonio, a foreign sailor, was charged
with having stabbed another sailor, named John Black.
Kr. Block defended the prisoner. The injured man is at
assent in the Northern Hospital, and his life was con-
sidered to be in such danger that a magistrate attended at
the hospital to take his depositions. From the evidence
a foreign sailor, named Philip Kitchen, it appeared that
the prisoner (who is a ferocious looking fellow), without
ale slightest amount of provocation, in a public house in
Wbiteehapel, drew his knife, and inflicted a desperate
around on his opponent. The wound is under the shoulder
blade, and at present looks very like fatal. The prisoner
was remanded. _

ICITR kORDTNATLY CHARGN AGAINST D3N FRANCISCO
TO/ LASSO, TIIB INTERPRETER.—DOII Francisco Tomasso, the
well-known interpreter, who has be n abut the courts for
she last three years, and who is well known about town,
was brought up by detective officer Scott on the following
egiarges. The poor. little Spainard. heretofore so lively
and "natty," looked dreadfully beaten up He leaned on
a 'crutch, a, he had the misfortune to have one of his legs
broken a short time since. His filo brilliant eyes were
deeply sunken, and his countenance was pale, and face
!laggard in the extreme. His glossy raven hair, which
ma=d to be admired by every one, was sadly disordered,
and altogether the poor fellow was so changed that he
koked only the shadow of what he was a short time since.
Every 0. es in court—and it was crowded by respectable
;arsons who came to hear the case—felt more or less for
the apparently hapless condition in which he was placed.
Goodere appeared as his attorney. The charge, or
Charges, preferred against him were not defined in the first
instance, but the following details will supply the whole
affair. Mr. Goodere, in the first instance, applied to his
warship that the witnesses in the case (except the actual
ant under examination) shonld be removed from the court,
and this was at once complied with. Detective officer
Twit said : I went with John M'Alister, a c ,r driver, to
dos house of the prisoner, at 26, Duke street, and a-rested
him on a charge of having swindled him out
of I'2 2s, and also on a charge of having

At LEWIS & COMPANY'S, Renelagh-street.
SOTS are CLOTHED from the Ages of_Six;te Twenty Tears,

stolen a " crusher." (a email and slmost valueless article)
used to crush sugar in a punch glass), and a g ass from the
Caledonian Hotel, Duke-street. I have also a number
of charges against him by person.; who allege that ha has
swindled them out of various articles He took a house
in Duke street, and furnished it —only there is not much
furniture in it,—(laughter) —with things git in this way.
Mr. Grodore : Don't mind telling such stuff as this, as
you know, or ought to know, it is not evidence—you had
him up here before ? Yes, once And he was discharged?
fie was. On your oath, sir, 'ld you not say that you
would soon have him up again ? I can't say that. Will
you undertake, sir, to swear you did not say so ? I will
net undertake to swear so; I may hare said it, or I may
not. Mr. Richard Chenoweth, the keeper of the Cale-
donian, in Duke-street, said the prisoner lives next door to
me, and used to come to my house, very often with other
persons, and by himself ; he use i sometimes to pay, and
sometimes not. On the 2id October, he came in with two
other persons, end called for two glasses of ale, and a glass
of port wine hot ; when he was drinking the wine, a lady
came in fr3m his house and staid he was wanted ; he went
out with my crusher and glass in his hand, and I have not
seen these articles since, mail the police found them in his
house. Mr. Go. dere: And that's what you call stealing
them ? Yes. Mr Goodere :D d you see him take them
out ? Yes, he had them in his hand when he was called
out. Mr. Goodere : And he did it openly, before every
one, without any c mcselment ? Yes. Mr. Goodere:
And you call this felony ? I don't know what you call it.
Mr. Goodere : I will let you know he teeter what it will be
called in another place. Mr Mansfield : What was the
crusher made of ? Mr. Gaolers : A bit of block tin, or
something else, worth about half a farthing. go the
witness) : Did you ever lend him any glasses? Yea, I
lent him a few glasses. I sent in spirits and other things into
his house, two or three times Mr. Goodere : And you found
him honest? Witness : Why, be owes me something yet
John Bisielister, a car driver, who throughout the investi-
gation showed an amount of malignant bitterness against
the prisoner, was next examined. The amount of his evie
dance in chief was, that the prisoner having a broken leg,
gut him to drive him about the town, until he ran ui a
bill of £2 2s, which included the price ef a broken square
of glass in the cab window. Mr. Goodere: The breaking
of the glass was an accident, by tte crutch felling against
it, Was it not ? No, he went to Parker-street and got the
crutch, and it " aint" paid for yet. Mr. Goodere : Well,
I declare, I never saw a case in the course of my expe-
rience that partakes so much of a farce as this. Here the
car driver, as if to make it more farcical, leaped into the
box from where he was standing, and cried out, "He
robbed a widow woman • who keeps cars, toe—
he did not pay her—he didn't pay for his
crutch, nor nothing at al, at all. His leg aint
btu ke, only he says it is —he's a thief of the world, so he
is." (This splendid oration caused some laughter, but
more disgust ) Mr. Gewland, of South Castle street, was
next examined, and said : On the 22nd Sept. the prisoner
purchased a watch at his place for £7. He was to pay
when he collected some bills that were due t t him. At
first I imagined he was pin to pay me cash but when he
toll me how it wes, I let him have the watch, but some one
after that who considered himself a friend of mine, wrote
me a note to say that the watch was pledged. The letter
was anonymous, and therefore goes for no hing. Mr
Goodere : When did he say he would pay you? In two
or three weeks Here a great deal of matter, totally irre-
levant, reg-rlng the domestic affairs of the prisoner, took
place—about how he slept on the floor, and other things
touching his domes, and every now and then the carman
rushed into the box, making some fearful complaint of the
prisoner, not on his own (tee carman'e) account, but on
behalf of some one whom he alleged the prisoner had
"done." At last, Mr. Goodere asked this im-
petuous gentleman if he were any relative
of Calcraft the hangm n, as he seemed eager to see the
prisoner executed ? Tao ca:enen replied he was no relative
of Mr. Calcrafr, bet he wont i like to see the prisoner
executed for his swindl ng Mr. G eniere : I suppose if you
got your £2 2s that's all yon want ? Carman : Let the
£2 2s go to the devil, I don't care about it now, but I'd
like to see him executed for all that. This was all the
evidence in the case, and then Mr. Goo lore proceeded to
address the bench on behalf of the prisoner. He said
Mr. Tcmasso came to Liverpool from London, to be the
general interpreter for that court, but from circumstances
that had taken place, he gave up that, and took a house for
himself, where he was about tto carry on a respectable
business. As for the "esus'oing" case of the " crusher,"
he would not allude to it, further than by saying that any-
thing so paltry, mean and shabby, on the part of a prose-
cution, he had never heard no: read of. As to the other
trumped up cases, there was nothing in them. He got
what goods he did get, by the usual fair and open way of
dealirg in trade, peomising to pay when he got money,
which would be vary soon, for he was about to marry a
French lady who had money to the amount of 50,000
francs—in face when he was arrested, be was going out
with bills in his pocket to collect money that was due to
him that would more than pay all he owed, (here he handed
in the bins) and he found that even Mr. Clough owed him
money. (Loud laughter) Mr. Clough: I must explain
this. Some time ago I was absent, and on my return I
found he bad sent in several bills for alleged attendances
to interpret evidence in this court. Of course I was
obliged t 3 examine the bills, and out of the whole sent in,
I found he was only employed in one case I also found
that he had induced, or attempted to induce persona, who
could speak English, to say they could not, and on his
representation of being appointed the inter-
preter, he told the persons alluded to, that
he would g7ve such a version of the case to
the Court, in his interpretation, that he would get the
prisoner's acquitted ; so after that I gave up his inter-
pretations—there is only 5•. due to him. Mr. Goodete—
Then why don't you pay him his ss. ? Mr. Clough—lt is
ready for him at any time. Here the carman again
leaped into the box and roared out that he had just heard
that the prisoner had robbed another carman by driving
about and not paying. He wes ordered to stand down.
Mr. Goodere hande I up a card of the prisoner's house,
when the carman again rushed into the box, crying out
that the cards were not paid for. (Great laughter).
Mr. Goodere—Go down out of that, sir—you ought to
be ashamed of yourself. The carman—Well, the gentle-
men reporters are here at any rate, and they'll give it
him. Mr. Goodere then proceeded with his address, and
concluded by stigmatising the whole proceedings, as got
up to ruin a poor foreigner, who was endeasouring to make
his way by honesty, but Rho for a moment was the creature
of circumstance•, yet he did nothing, except in the fair
and open way of business, and would pay all his fair debts
in due course. Mr. Mansfield said, as to the charge of
having obtained goods by false pretences, that fell to the
ground, for the prisoner, accirdiug to the evidence, did
not make any pretence at all. Thera might, perhaps, be
a good deal of roguery. in the case, but the law did not
reach the. present case, and the prisoner must be dis-
charged, and the court became vacant immediately.
