THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, N OVEMBER 24, 1857.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.

DISTRESS IN LIVERPOOL.

FEAR OF AN OUTBREAK.

Since the great distress ceased in the winter of 1854,
and 1855, amongst the artisan and working classes, there
has been nothing to equal the present period of privation
amongst the same, and, we are sorry to add, amongst the
classes above these in the scale of sociality. The distress
of the former period was owing to a combination of two
causes, long continued frost and unfavourable winds, that
prevented a large fleet of ships from coming into port.
The present state of affairs is worse, for, besides an adverse
wind, which prevents vessels coming in, the frightful
crisis that now prevails, almost in every case, adds to the
gloomy prospect. At the time alluded to, the bankers,
merchants, shipowners, an] others engaged in mercantile
and manufacturing pursuits, were in positions to assist—
and nobly and liberally did they come forward to assist—
their humbler brethren in distress. Now the scene is most
unfortunately changed, for the stoppage of batiks, &c.,
almost cramp up the springs from which relief came
in abundance. This, too, sc,upled with unfavourable
weather for some time past, has greatly increased the
embarrassments of the artisan and labouring classes.
Hundreds have been unemployed for some weeks, an
yesterday there were all sorts of rumours through town, as
to an alleged cmtemplated outbreak of the unemployed.
We are glad to say that although many are reduced to
great privations, they bear their hardships with honest
resignation and patience, and we believe hundreds would
even suffer death before resorting to the slightest violence.
It is 3:e reckless, the i lie, and profligate portion of
society, who would be proud of an opportunity to enrich
themselves by al outbreak. The honest and w2ll-
- repudiate violence as much as we do. A rep rt
prevailed in town yesterday, to the effect that a number ( f
persons from Preston would march into town, and that these
would be joined by the unemployed of Liverpo d. Absurd
as this rumour was, some people ereditel it. A double
guard of police was put on every portion of the town
where it was suspected anything unuosal would happen,
and every proper precaution was taken to pmserve peace
and order. We are glad to say that nothing more than
usual cceurrei, and that, except in the minds of al irm'sts.
nothing was real), contemplated. We are glad also to
say that the wind changed yesterday, and that a large fleet
of vessels, detained down channel for a lengthened
period, were enabled to come no, and, no &tab', the
discharge of these ships will afford ample employment to
many who are no v out of work. Wa do not
pate the slightest violence or danger from the people.

THE BLACK BALL LINE OF CLIPPER SHIPS.

The following document has been sent to us from
Stockport, with a request that we would publish it :
To Messrs. James Baines and. Co., Proprietors of the
Black Ball Line of Clipper Ships, Liverpool.

We, the undersigned Passengers to New Zealand,
feeling that we should be wanting in gratitude if we
neglected to aCknowledge favours received, hereby
most respectfully and cordially express our hearty
appreciation of the noble and honourable condnct of your
enterprising firm in compensating us so handsomely for
the delay occasioned in starting on our voyage, although
our detention resulted from circumstances over which
you had not the slightest control.
The undersigned had taken berths in the Montmorency,
which should have sailed from Liverpool for Wellington
on the 30th of September, but that noble vessel having
been becalmed for some weeks on its homeward voyage,
it was found absolutely impossible that the Montmorency
could be prepared for the return voyage, the advertised
date, and it was necessary that another' ship should be
substituted. The Palmyra was selected for this purpose,
which was announced to sail on the 31st October from
London. We, however, have received, with delight and
gratitude, the intimation that the additional expense
thus incurred will be sustained by the liberal shippers
themselves, who, besides defr qing our travellirg
expenses to London, and the freight of our luggage, have
very generously substituted enclosed berths in the
Palmyra for steerage ones in the Montmorency, thus
securing us superior accommodation and increased com-
fort without making any additional charge whatever.
Such conduct is beyond all praise, and we express our
unfeigned gratitude at such unostentatious liberality
before quitting our native land.
We may also be allowed to eulogise the meritorious
exertions of your agent at Stockport, Air. James Lomax,
junr., Francis-street, on behalf of contemplating
emigrants in general, and ourselves in particular ; and
especially to commend him for the many acts of kindness
in furnishing all possible information to such parties,
Albeit at no inconsiderable inconvenience to h imself. We
do this with the greatest pleasure, assuring you, gentle.
men, that his information and advice has materially
assisted us in preparing for the voyage, and in antici-
pating and providing for faure necessities and emergen
ties. If our recommendation will avail anything in
his behalf, we shall rejoice in the knowledge that a
deserving, industrious, and energetic servant has met
with the reward he so richly deserves.—We are, gentle-
men, yours most respectfully,

POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY.

The fortnightly meeting of this Society was held in
the Royal Institution last night. Mr. Joseph &lilt pre-
sided, being the President of the Society for the present
year, during the opening part of the proceeding 4, but
having to read a paper requested Mr. Milner, of the
Phoenix Works, to take his place as chairman. There was
a very crowded attendance, and among these present were
many gentlemen connected with the cJmmercial bodies of
the town.

Mr. JOSEPH BOUM proceeded to read the paper for
the evening, which was entitled " Suggestions for im-
proving the Central Dock Accommodation of the Port, and
the approaches to the Landing Stage." We cannot
attempt a detailed description of the character of this
important paper, which was listened to with the greatest
interest. Mr. Boult proposed to close up the present
George's-basin, and to shift the new landing stage some-
what nearer to the small stage. He proposed to give
additional water-space by enlarging the George's-dock,
projecting it somewhat eastward towards the Goree-
warehouses, and westwards, taking in some of the space
occupied at present by the Bs'hs. Additional
quay space in the Prince's-dock would be gaited
by dividing that dock into two, and by retnovirg the
entrance into the George's dock further to the north than
the George's-basin. A canal should be made between the
George's and the Prince's docks, and across the canal
should be three bridges, conneotit g lines of communication
with the water. The paper contained several suggestions
for the improvemett of the access to the landing-stages,
and for easing Oldhall-street of the pre s of traffic which
is at present so severely felt. A direct north and south
thoroughfare Mr. Boult proposed to obtain by making a
street eighty Let wide from the north west corner of
Canning-place to the south we t corn-r of the Waterloo
deck. Additional central graving docks being much
desired by commerce, Mr. Lult suggested that three
graving docks, each 300 feet by 70 feet, should be
constructed between the Prince's and the Waterloo docka
A sepeeate station for luggage bet's and fishing boats ho
also recommended. Mr. Boult also dwelt upon the vast
imptreetice of the passenger traffic of the Mersey :
alluding, in thO first instance, to that of the ferries, in refer-
ence to which he remarked that the dangers were not
usually on the river, but on terra firma, in the pessage
between the town and the lauding stage But he also
pointed out the vast importance of tho channel passenger
and ocean passenger traffic, and the great necessity of
affording further facilities for its accommodation and
development. He urged that a 1 the conveniences of
passenger traffic ought not to be sacrificed to t3ose of
csrg ships Mr. Beuh'e lecture wa; accompanied by a
plan. on which he explained its points, and wileut which
it would be scarcely p ,ssible to do justice to its character,
even in the moot general outline This plan, he sta'ed,
was reconcilable with the project of a la'gh-level bridge, as
proposed by Mr. Gr.nthem, although the bridge was not
laid f; wn upon it. Dock warehouses formed part of i-s
details ; but if wareliouses on the edges of the docks were
not approved of—many now objecting to them —the general
character of the plan could still be maintained, and the
ground given to (Flay or water space. T e 1 ctnrcr offered
to lay his plan before any of the p blie committees, and to
place it at their services, provided only, that he were
allowed to b ) present at any discu-sion which might take
place upon its details, and if any objections were made, to
refute them so far as it lay in his power to do so.
Mr MOND:LL asked whether Mr. Boult had made any
estimate of the cost of the alterations he. proposed ?
Mr. BOULT —I am quite prepared to do eo whenever I
am instructed to do so (Laugh er) Mr. Boult remarked,
however, that it had boon proposed by the local authorities
to make a great street through the site ( f the Old B rough
Gaol, in continuation of North John-street, and to pull
down and rebuild the 'Gores Warehouses—alterations,
which, while confined to that locality alone, would pro_
beble cost two-thirds of the amount which would be
required for the works he proposed, withott• inere sing the
area of dock accommodation

Mr. J. R JIFFERY asked what additional quay space
Mr. Hartley's plans would give over the present accom-
modation?

Mr Bourr said he did not know that the plans would
give any aiditional quay spice.
Mr. lionien expressed a strong obje!tion to having
large blocks of warehouses running north and south along
the docks, shutting out the air from many parts of the
town, and sta'ed that durirg the visitation of cholera in
Liverpool, it wad found that streets located bEhind such
warehouses, suff,red mo:e than others wh'ch had opsn
access to the river.

Mr Fonwoon, while expressing his approval of many
portiLn's of the paper, reminded Mr. Bout*, that the dock
revenues wera mai-Ay dei-ived from dues on' cargo, and
that no tax WAS levied on- prtsseog3rs IE6 therefme,
cautioned the iils!ic against rashly 'aiding ts the duos, by
which the trade might be driven away. He suggested
that ihe means of making the dock-,spac, more available
by mechanical applianc- s, would ',e a most important
consideration for ncientifie and practical mints.
Mr Alderman Brix ErT expre=s:d a general approval of
Mr. Boult's suggetion, 'many of which he highly com-
mended although differing in some details'.
• Captain IGEn, manager of the Woolside Ferry, drew
attention'tO the great importince of having fail facilities
given for the iran-it of goods from L.varpoo' is the
Birkenhead docks If this were not accomplished, he
urged that 'he Birkenhead docks would suffer decided
disadvantage.
A conversation fol owed on the general outlines of the
plans propased. by Mr. Boalt, in which Mr M,snde 1, Mr.
HoStrise,tir. FOrwood, and other gentlemcn•took part, and
cordial thanks oa the part of the soniely and the public
generally were expressed to the lecturer f.a. his valuable
paper.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-YESTERDAY.

LIVERPOOL.
BEFORE Met. MANSFIELD.

AN OLD SOLDIER DONS" BY A PATENT LEVER.
Matilda Hand, was brought up by officer Astic, 450, en a
charge of having swindled a soldier, ramed Henry Maddox,
belonging to the 65th regiment., The facts of the case
were these. The prisoner goes about the streets with a
" roulette" table, an I on Saturday night, she was in
Queen's square, doing a little trade with her wheel of
brtune, 34c1dox looked on for a time, and seeing a great
many persons (confederates of the prisoner of course)
winni g,.he imagined that he could gain more in a semi-
lngitimate way, than he could by going out to India, he
ventured on the old adage of never venture, never win,
he did win a few coppers, and this induced h..m to try a
fourpzpny piece, but he lost this, and an pected all was
not right ; the officer then came up and arrested her. The
officer, who is up to every sort of dodge, from pi eh and
toss to the pandeinouias of Saint James-street, examine
the implement, and wide a discovery that was worthy of
Archimedes. Underneath the cloth- that had the marks
and numbers, in red, whits and blue, and which he'd the
" hands or wheel of fortune," he found a small piece of
wood, that acted as a lever, and communicated with the
pivot that held the " hands," and by pushing this when
the wheel above, came to the desired figure or Tx int,
it stopped at once, thus winning for her when ever she
likei. The difficulty, howeve7 was to discover how this
lever was wo ked, for if the hand was used, any one could
deter .; it. The way she managed it was this. The table
on which the board stood was just the height of her chest,
and from the bme of her stays there protiuded another
small stick, and her movements were so accurate that she
pu•hed her chest against the lever, and so the operation
became complete. It appeared that some time ag ) the
prisoner was brought up on a similar charge, and
the excuse she then gave was chat her husband forced her
out to gamble, and if she refused he used to beat her. This
fact was proved at the time, and the husband was sent to
jail for three mouths f having assaul-ed her His.
Worship asked the complainant how long he was in th-.!
army ? and he replied`over two years. His Worship said
yon ought to be old soldier enough not to he dote in this
way. He then toi_d the prisoner that she had now no
excuse abut her husband, and he would send her to jail
for three months, with hard 'abour.

KNIFING.—William Owens was charged with having
stabbed John Mathias and Elizabeth, his wife, in their
house 28, Don:aster street. It appeared that on
Saturday evening the prisoner and his wife had some
quarrel, and he commenced beating.' her. Not being
satisfied wi h beating her, he rushed into the complainant's
place, and stabbed the man with a knife under the chin,
au I cut him in►o the bone, to the extent of 3 inches
and then turned on the woman, and stabbed her in the
left 'cheek to the lergth of two inches, and half an inch
deep Surgeon Lyster proved the extent of the wounds,
and the prisoner was sent for trial.
Robert Henry was cha'ge 1 with having stabbed Eliza
beth Horrocks, the keeper of a cook-shop in Norman-street.
On Saturday evening, the prisoner. with another man,
went to complainani.'d shop, and asked for credi. and money,
which she refused to give him, Ile tbln struc% her a
'blow with some sharp instrumeW, and cat her severely,
and with a second blow he cut her under the chin and a
third blow, with his clenched hand, kno..ked out sumo of
her teeth. A surgeon proved the extent of the injuries,
-and His Wor.hip said. the case Fes so serious, that he
would send for trial at the ass,zes. The prisoner was
accordingly, committed for trial

A SSAITL4NO 130 L CE IN COLOURED CL'TTIES.—
Patrick XiGlone and Sohn Griffith, two "lumpers," were
chargea with having assaulted police officers 554, and 15S.
The. officers were in plain clothes on Sunday morning,
about ten o'clo:k, in Mersey-street; they were watching
a public house, and went np a passage for the purpose cf
detecting the publican doing business, but they did not
succeed. On leaving the passage, they were attacked by
the p isoners, who assaulted them, and M G one tore' the
coat off' offi !er 531. The pri,oners said they did not
know who the police wore, and imagined that they were
about doing wrong, or committing a robbe-y, and on
a4cing +hem what they wore doing up the passage ? they
gave t• cm saucy Pnetvers M'Glone was fined £l, and the
other p ironer was remanded

TEI;BtTTLE OP THE BOYSE•WATEE, AND THU BATTLII OF
JOHN'S LANE.—Two young men, named Michael and
Patrick 'Dowd, were charged with having broken 16s.
worth of glass in the door 3 and windows of Mr Charles
Chalk's public 'tense, John'alane From the evidence of
Mr. Chalk, it appeared that on Saturday night, ab ut ten
o'clock, the prisoners, with three,ottersonot in custody,
were in his. house ; there was a man outride playing a
fisielle, and # boy accompany:ng him on a fife ; the prisoners
went out and, it appeared that some dispwe arose between
them and some other person about some tune that the
trin,icians were asked to play. It seemed that the
prisoner's tarty attack:id the other roan, who ran into the
hue of Mr. Chalk for protection ; Mr. Chalk and another
person were standing 'at the door when the man ran' in,
and in order 'o protect him, Mr. Cloolk shit', the door ; the
prisoners smashed in the door, and broke the glass in
question, together with a wi-e blind: They knocked down
Mrs. Chalk, and in the most brutal and unmanly manner
trampled on her. Thoy caught Mr. Chalk by -the yea,
and nearly tore it off him. pulling all the buttons off it.
and broke four glass tumblers Mr Bleck cross examined
Mr. Chalk at sots° length on behalf of the prisoners, bet
the only thing he elietted was, that Mr. Chalk was obliged
to keep his doors shut on Sunday. in consequence of broken
glees •in the doors and windows, -which ho considered a
disgrace: • He Said, although Mrs. Chalk' was very badly
treated, she would not appear to sustain the charge of
assault, which he thought worse of than the loss he had
sustained by the damage done to his premises. Several
witnesses ware exemined to sustain the case, and amongst
them was a man name]. Thorass,G-Ireenough, who said he
was passing the door of Mr. Chalk, where the " muticians'
were playing when the prisoners and some other persons
asked him, if he had asked for a. certain tune? and he
replied he.had not, whereon they at once attacked him,
and he ran for shelter into Mr. Chalk's home, and
they foil wed, when the damage and depreda'ions
complained of were committed In ; reply to Mr
Mansfield, the witness said the parties asked loin if he had
called for the " Boyne Water." Mr Mansfield : You are
an Englishman,4 presume ? I am, sir. Mr. Mansfield :
Then, I suppose, you don't care about the battle of the
Boyne, or the tune of the "Blyne Water?'' Wi'nesS :
Not a straw, your Worship. Mr Mansfield: Neither do
I, and lam glad to hear you say so. It is time that these
stupid quarrels—stupid Irish quarrels—should be put an
end to. What do we, or any one else in any country. care
about the battle of the "Boyne Water?" We are in an
age now that ought to be thinking of something else than a
quarrel which was Fettled by our great great grandfathers
so long ego. It is stupid for any one to refer to such. Mr.
Muck strongly contended that as Mrs. Chalk was not pre-
rent to sustain the charge of assaul', the only thing the
magistrate coald do was to award the amount of damages
against the prisoners, although, in point t f fee', it was not
proved they were the guilty parties, for it appeared the
parties who were not now in custody were the real guilty
parties. He reg etted very much that a lady ofhig't
respectability, as he knew Mrs. Chalk to be, should be
either annoyed or insulted, but it was not proved that the
prisoners had offered her either insult or annoyance.
Af or a long discussion, the prisoners ware fined the
amount of the damage, which they paid, Mr. Bluck
remarking that who ver were his clients had always plenty
of money.

A CAR DRIVER WELL PUNISHED ---J.:seph Lin ton,
driver of Car No. 65, appeared on summers for b tying
n Saturday last charged more than his ordinary fare.
WilLim Flynne, a most intelligent and respec•ahle
standlooking lad, stand that be and a companion had lately
coma from America, and wising to Ye th, city of o:ester,
they crossed over by one of the Woodside Ferry boats, for
the purpose of ving by railway, but from what pat t: of
Birkenhead they knew-mot, neither did they know that a
beat would have brought them direct to the railway
etatiou. Having, however, found their way up to the
Woodside Slip and Cheste--strce-, they hailed defenda' t'a
cab, and ast<ed to be driven " to the car stand to go to
cheater." Instead, however, of the defendant driving
them direct to the Monk's Ferry station, as be must have
known they. meant, he turned along Bridge-street, up
Hamilton-street, through the Square to Grange-lane, and
then en sn Ivy-street to the Railway Staion, thus provirg
that he km ea, where they wanted t) go to, and when he
had token hem that f. 1., he demanded 4: forhis fer-. He,
witness, thought it a very short j )urn-y for 4s, as he had
d it, and it was only seven minut:s from the time he
and his companion had got into the car. He therefore
refuse d to pay so much, but gave the defendant a hem
cralen, and subsequen ly, in corsequence of his still
pres-ing the demand, he gave another sixpence. Defen-
dant admitted the charge, bat w:she 1 to make the nalgi,-
trate believe that he did not at first exactly understand
where they wished to be driven to; when Mr. Burgess,
the car iuspec'or, came forward, and stated that in all
probability nothing av(ul i have been hrard of the affair
but for a lady who had coma over by the same boat as the
complainant and his companion, who having heard them
say they were going to Chester, and herself being for the
same destination, she walked behind them from the boot,
when she heard them hail the defendant's car, which she
thought very strange for so short a distance. She, how-
ever, took no farther notice, and proceeded on her way to
•Monk's Ferry, and just as she arrived there the defendant
drove up his car, and having let the complainant and his
companion out, heard him demand 4s tor his fare. Know-
ing that to be too snook she told the lade his fare was

only a shilling. Having, howeve-, seen him take the 3s,
and knowing it to be a er s imposition, she went and
acquainted tie Railway s a ion-mastt.r, who al'erwards
tpcertained the nam a and addresses of the lads, and gave
him (Eur ;esc) the informoti in upon which he look out the
present summons. M. Bryabs : It is a very bad case.
You must have kno•vn wh re they wishPd to gi t .;_ even
the distance you really went would not have entitled you
to half the sum you demanded. You must return two
shillings, and par a tine of 10J and costs, am lunting in
the whole to £1 6

RAILWAY PORTERS IN TROOBLE.—J,hi J,hrson and
James Murphy, two porters in the employ of Messrs.
C uipin and Horne, Railway, parcel carriers, were brought
up on a charge,of embezeement. Mr. Branclaley, Messrs.
Chap!iu and flame's agent, at ended, aed stated that the
prisoners had for some time past made i. a practise of
receiyirg sums for the carriage of parc.ls, which they
entered in pencil ip the book they had with them for that
purpose, and got partici to sign their names to it. Sub-
s quenlly tne prisanrrs would enter a sittalr sum in ink

DEATiI UNDER SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES

On the evening of Saturday last, Dr. Lodge was called
upon, at a moment's notic?, to attend upon a person who
was then lying in a state of stupor, at the Market Inn,
Gill-street, kept by David Hartley. Mr. Lodge attended,
and finding hith in a state of pet feet ineenaibility, he used
every.exertion that skill could dictate, but wi.hotat effect,
and the man diei in about half an hour. From inquiries
sub:equently made, it appeared that deceased's n tme was
