THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—These delightful suburban
gardens will be opened for the season, this day. Mr. Atkins
has this year outdone his former' exertions, for hie' arrange-
ments are more ample, the attractions more interesting, the
scenes more_ gorgeous, and the variety of the novelties to be
produced more extensive, than have ever been presented to
the public. Added to the already beautiful scenes, are
sixty splendid pictorial illustrations of popular places in our
native land. The opening scenes will comprise a stupendous
representation .of the volcano of Mount Etna, with a new
diorama of brilliant effect. The are several able artists
engaged; and the managerie has been augmented by some
fine specimens of natural history. The musical and other
arrangements are in keeping with the other attractions, and
there can be no doubt that the public patronage bestowed
on the spirited, enterprising, and courteous proprietor, will
fully equal the exertions to please, amuse, and instruct our
good folk during the season.
KIRKDALE PETTY SESSIONS.—BEFORE MESSRS SAUL,
HOLME, AND HALL.—Mr. Henry Murphy, the out-door
Superintendent of the Local Marine Board, brought up
William Hogarth Gerrie, late chief mate of the Jessie
Millar, for refusing to proceed on the voyage. It appeared
that the prisoner had been brought from Scotland, and had
his fare paid; had £2 15s. advance, and the money sent to
his wife. He signed articles to go in the ship to North
America and back, and to be on board on the 18th. From
the 15th to the 18th he was almost continually drunk, and
on the 19th, when the vessel sailed, he was in a stupid
state, and absolutely refused to proceed in the ship, and the
captain was obliged to send for Mr Murphy to procure him
Another man, and the prisoner wa3 given into custody. The
ship was at Garston, and this was the reason the- prisoner
was brought before the County Magistrates. Their 'Wor-
ships censured, the conduct of the prisoner, and sent him to
jail' for ten weeks, with hard labour.
PAg-SENGERS per screw-steamer Nova Scotian, from Port-

STEALING BY A SERVANT.—At the County Magistrates
Court, on Saturday, before Messrs. Charles Turner, T. D.
Anderson, and Captain Bourne, Elizabeth Richards, a
woman who had lived in the employment of Mr. M.Guffie,
chemist, of Castle-street and West Derby, was charged
with having stolen a quantity of articles, the property-Of
her employer. The woman had been eng.aged as cook, and.
had, after some time, given warning, in consequence of
which her service expired on Thursday last. Some
suspicion having arisen, Mrs. M`Guffie demanded to have
her boxes seached, and the woman consented, provided it
were done in the presence of an officer. An officer was
accordingly sent for, and a number of the articles were
found in her boxes and among her clothes. The articles
consisted of bottles of spirits, ammonia, and sauces ; loaf
sugar, tea, an eyeglass, a quantity of gingham, some pocket
handkerchiefs, &c., &c., which were all identified as the
property of Mr. M`Guffie. The prisoner pleaded guilty.
The court sentenced her to be imprisoned for six months,
with hard labour.

brilliant in composition, it is a work that ought to be bestis
known, and marks its author as the possessor of drar°,lvo•
genius that one day must make him famous. The ac",);
of it, too, was excellent ; altogether unlike a drawinrrei;st
play. We have witnessed many private theatricals,
none that in real merit approached to these.
The Irish melodies for which Moore wrote the words are
about to pass through a new phase of existence. Seventy
three of the lyrics all those, in short, of which the elle;

arrangements or retouohings of the airs ; many of which,

we know, were considerably modified and altered by lio

LONG, LONG, Aoo."—This very pretty song, the word&
by Mr. S. J. Meany, of the Daily Post, and the music by
Mr. Frank Musgrave, of the Theatre Royal, has been issued
to the public, by the celebrated publishers, Messrs. Boosey,
of London. The sweet simplicity of the words, re-
calling to our memories the dear and loving time of
" Long, long, ago," in the early days of our childhood, and
then progressively advancing on through life, exhibit a fresh-
ness of feeling, a joyousnesst gushing forth, to be likened
only to thd dashing of the " silver-lake" o'er the bright and
sharp rocks of some mountainous precipice : again, passing on
to the brief but rugged period of manhood, when we look upon
life in all its " stern reality," and "grapple with the world
as we find it." To give expression to these ideas, Mr.
Frank Musgrave has been exceedingly felicitous in his
melody. Many songs, from their geniality of words to the
human feelings, are spoilt for want of " taking music," but in
this instance, the popularity of both words and music, the one
as much as for the other, bid fair to become " familiar as
household words," and with pleasure we commend the en-
tire piece to the notice of our readers. *
LATEST FASHIONS. —We have no novelties in cloaks to
notice beyond those described and illustrated in furmer num-
bers. The chilly weather which has recently prevailed,
has caused the warm wraps suitable for the winter season.
to be retained; instead of being aside for light spring man-
telets. Cloaks of cloth and velvet are consequently more
generally worn than is usual at this period of the year.
Silk will be a favourite material for out-door dresses during
the spring. For. the promenade, dresses.of plain, chequered
and chine silk will be fashionable. Brocade, moire, and
plain satin, in bright hues, are adopted in evening cos-
tume. One or two jackets of a novel and elegant de-
scription have just been received from Paris, Some are com-
posed of black and others of coloured velvet, and they are
beautifully embroidered in Oriental designs, with gold-
coloured silk and jet. The sleeves are wide and open at
the ends ; they are lined with white satin, and a ruche of
ribbon passed round the inner edge. In caps, the ming-
ling of white blonde with black - lace or tulle is still in
favour, though not universally adopted. We have seen a
very pretty cap of white tulle, trimmed with mauve-colour
ribbon, and bouquets of ,flowers of various hues, intermin-
gled with pendent blades of grass. Another cap, intended
for in-door neglige, has the crown of white tulle, lined
with pink silk ; the front is composed of quillings of blonde,
with loops of narrow pink ribbon intermingled. The
trimming consists of pink ribbon. Mohair, silk, and cash-
mere are the materials which have been employed for some
of the new dresses, for little girls. As milder weather
advances, felt hats will be superseded by those compOsed of
white or coloured straw, and trimmed with feathers and
ribbon, or ribbon only. Cloaks of silk or cashmere are
suitable for girls. A cloak of grey cashmere has been made
with a cape ; the edge of the cape and cloak being trimmed
with a quilling of blue ribbon. Until the age suitable for
the adoption of jackets, boys' costume usually consists of the
tunic or blouse and trousers.—Lady's Newspaper.
