EXTRAORDINARY CASE AGAINST A PUBLICAN .--
Nathan Caunee, a publican-. iu Madd6x=street, was
charged under the following circumstances Legg,
one of the resident keepers at Rose-bill station, stated
that the defendant was charged for selling drink to chil-
dren under sixteen years of age. He said, about seven
o'clock on last Sunday evening, three girls, one twelve,
one thirteen, and one ten years of age, were brought into
the station, in a state of intoxication. They
lay on the floor, as if dead from drink. A doctor
from St: Anne's Dispensary was brought, and
he administered an emetic, and one of them was able to
t 311 where she lived. The parents of the girls were sent
for, and they were sent home, but in a sad state from the
effects of drink. Inspector Duggan said, he heard of the
affair, and went to make inquiry about it, and he found,
from a statement made by one of the girls, that a young
man in the shop and Mr. Caunce served them with rum
and beer, and that they all got drunk. Mr. Chilton
appeared for the defendant, and endeavoured to show that
the girls were totally mistaken as to the house • but
two of the girls went with him to the house, and clearly
pointed it out to hini. Catherine Booth, 13 years of
age, who lives in Back Milton-street, and who is engaged
in a cook-shop in Whitechapel, was examined said she
went out on last Sunday evening, with five other girls,
and they went to the shop of the defendant, where they
had three naggins of rum, and paid one shillinc, for it.
After that three bows came in, and they had halfba gallon
of ale together, She said they had all been together in
the house before, and had been drinking there. She
stated that the result, of course, was, they all got drunk,
and the . police found them so. She swore that the
defendant's wife and son served them, as they had often
done before. Mary Mooney, a girl ten years of age,
one of the "batch," fully corroborated the statement.
Several other girls and boys were examined, and fully
proved the fact, and also that they were in the habit of
getting drink there. They swore that they got the
drink on the night in question from the son and wife of
defendant, and they all proved beyond doubt
that the defendant's house was the place they
got the drink. It was attempted to be shown
that the boys and girls were mistaken as to the house,
and that the wife of the defendant was not in the bar
on the night in question, but the proof failed. Mr.
Wyburgh pointed- out to the magistrates, that if they
believed the evidence, they could fine the defendant 20s.
in each case, and their Worships having expressed their
horror of the conduct of the defendant, fined him 20s. in
the case proved, and ordered him to be summoned sepa-
rately in each of the other cases.

LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE
BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD.

VERY FINE OYSTEMI —A young man who gave the
name of 'William Hill, and who told officer 533, who had
him in charge, that he was an out-door clerk to T. D.
Anderson, Esq., T.C., was charged by Charles M'May,
for having stolen the sum of one shilling- from him.
The officer said, that he was on duty in Queen-
square, the previous night, when he heard cries of
stop the robber," and on going forward he
saw the prisoner running as fast as he could, and
he caught him at the corner of Hood-street, when
the prosecutor came up. and charged him with stealing a
shilling.. The complainant said, he keens an oyster stall
near the market, and was plying his trade as usual, the
previous night, when the prisoner came up and asked him
if the oysters were good ? Very good oysters, says he.
Then give me a shilling's worth said the prisoner, in order
that I may get an appetite for my supper. The oysters
were duly opened and bearded, and as duly despatched by
Mr. Hill. One would have thought that the reci-
pient of such a goodly wild, would have duly
reimbursed the proprietor ; and, accordingly, Mr. Mil
asked Mr. M'May for a shilling, hinting that he was
about giving him double that sum ; but, instead of doing
so, he ran off with the shilling in his hand and the oysters
in his stomach. The prisoner said lie was -very sorry for
what had taken place, but he did not remember what had
happened, as he was drunk, and did not remember any-
thing about it. He was willing to pay ten times the
amount to the oysterman, as lie would not do such a
thing for the world. He was discharged, the oysterman
having been compensated.
CHARGE OF FEHJURY.—Detective officer Eaton brought
up a respectable looking man, about sixty years of age,
named John Sperrett, who lives in Chapelfield-lane,
Manchester, on a charge of having committed perjury.
Mr. Fearnley, barrister, of Manchester, appeared for the
prosecution, and Mr. Block for the prisoner. The case
arose out of an action tried at the last assizes here, when
Messrs. James Brown and Co., of Manchester, brought an
action against M6srs. Dewhurst and Co., of Hud-
dersfield, for an infringement of a patent of a
design of printed Orleans. On the trial the prisoner
was examined for the defence, and produced a receipt
book of and for printed • patterns of goods made from
the receipts, and he swore that the pattern in dispute was
printed by him 20 years ago, whilst the plaintiffs in the
action alleged that they had had the patent from eight
to ten years, and on this, the assignment of perjury was
made. Mr. Fearnley opened the case, the same as he did
on Wednesday, when applying forthe warrant to arrest the
prisoner, and having done so, called the following witnesses:
John Eaton, a detective policeman, said, he arrested the
prisoner on Wednesday night in Manchester, in his bed-
room; found a book in a box in the kitchen, and another

division of. the London met-ropolitan- police—a pay-
sergeant in the force, was missing, and at the same time a
considerable sum of money, with which he was intrusted
to pay the men, was also not to be found. A search was
made, but to no effect, the man had escaped all enquiry.
The London policemen were on the alert—the telegraph
wires went in vain, the missing sergeant was not to be
had. The fact was communicated to the Liverpool
police, and a London officer came down here
express, but he might as well have remained
abont the station-house of the London E division, as it
was all no use. Some days after the missing sergeant,
there was the wife of another sergeant of the same divi-
sion missing. This woman's name is Catherine Wilkins, and
her husband:never suspected anything wrong. However,
when he missed over £7O in hard cash, that he had- saved
up by his honest industry, he thought it time to
look out. It was then supposed that Sergeant
Duignan, and Mrs. Sergeant Wilkins, had eloped together,
but as there was no proof of such a thing, of course there
was nothing more than vague rumours. However,
again, another detective from London came down,
but his efforts were quite unsuccessful. The matter
rested so; but Mr. John Scott, of our detective force, did
not rest so. Mr. Scott knew better than the London
detective what to do, and he had an eye to business, and
after a great deal of exertion, he traced Sergeant
Daignan and Mrs. Sergeant Wilkins to the

Com-mereial Hotel, Dale-street. He then followed
them to two or three places in town, and finally, on
yesterday (Friday), he arrested both on board a ship,
called the Switzerland, in the river, bound
for New York. They had a great deal of lug-
gage and other things, and the woman had a
child four months old with her, and asked several
persons here, -with whom she came in contact, if they
had ever seen a child so like its father—meaning Sergeant
Duignan. It is unnecessary to say that Scott is
deserving of much credit for his exertions in

this case, as he 'has succeeded in making a cap-
ture, which the London police failed to do ; indeed
Scott is one of the most useful, intelligent, and active in
the whole force, and this, with other recently recorded
cases, prove him to be so. He took the prisoners to
Loudon last night. He can teach the Landon detectives
what to do.

THE BURNS CENTENARY

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES

Sir,—With reference to the letter. of " Lang
Tam," which appeared in ' your paper of Wednes-
day last, I regret very much to see, from what is
stated, in Wednesday's paper, that the Scotch
dances are not to preponderate, but, on the
contrary, are not put even upon an equality, in
number and frequency, with the English dances,
by the committee of management. Is this justice
to Scotland for such an occasion ? Shame be upon
it, and upon every Scotchman who can be so low-
minded and mean to assent to anything of the
kind. They can have no claim to affinity with
the " Scots who wha with Wallace" &c., and the
sooner they abnegate their self-assumed func-
tions, the better, and not disgrace the land of
their birth. What would our immortal bard
himself say could he come among us. Hear his
own words, then, ride his life by Allan Cunning-
ham. He was dining with a hospitable Highland
gentleman, where he was introduced afterwards to
a merry party. " Our dancing," says the bard,
" was none of the French or English insipidly for-
mal movements. The ladies sling Scotch songs like
angels ; then we flew at Bab at the bowster,'
Tullochgoram," Loch Erroch side,' &c., like
midges sporting in the mottie sun ! "

small book on his person, and now produces them.
The prisoner told him these were the books he gave
evidence on at the last assizes, between Brown of Man-
chester and Dewhurst of Huddersfield. Mr. Morcom,
of the firm of Brown and Co , was examined, and
said, he remembered the prisoner being examined
at the trial on the 7th December. (Book and
pattern produced).. The prisoner said he placed
the pattern in the book twenty years ago ; that it
was taken from a piece printed by himself. 'Witness is in
the trade thirty-eight years, and the pattern was only
known a few years ago—not twenty years ago. Mr.
Ingham first produced the pattern ; manages our stuff
department. The witness was, cross-examined by Mr.
Bluck, but nothing particular was elicited. Mr.
William Ingham, the manager of the stuff depart-
ment, at Messrs. Brown's, proved that the prisoner
had sworn that he printed the pattern twenty
years ago. The witness proved having invented the
pattern ; it is a single twist Orleans. To Mr. Bluck :
I gave the sketch to our printer, and he struck off the
design. I first conceived the idea, and the printer drew
•the sketch, and gave it to the designer. The single twist
Orleans is only in use eight or ten years. The plaintiffs
(Brown and Co.) did not move for a new trial. Edward
Robinson was examined generally, and the amount of his
evidence was that the pattern was not kown 20 years
ago. In reply to Mr. Bluck, the witness said the print
might be done 20 years ago. Mr. S. Gills, of Staleybridge,
R. Shirwin, James Bustwell, Richard Brindle, Mr.
Heywood, and Mr. John Ingham were called to prove

I hope, therefore, •to see in your paper, imme-
diately, an announcement of the Scottish dances;
and, in saying so, I am far from intending any
disrespects to our brethren the English. I trust
they will mix freely with us ; and it is only
because the origin is Scotch that that characteristic
should prevail, in my humble opinion.—Your
obedient, LANG SANNY.

AN ITARY 22, 1859

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.
LIVERPOOL, Friday Evening.

The -Cotton Market was steady . tolday, closing
rather tamely after sales of 6,000 bales, including
500 for export-- --Messrs. -Edmund Jardine and
Co., thus report the movements of the trade during
the week :
We have again to report a very tame feeling in our
Market, and although dulness has been the prevailing
feature throughout the week, with small daily sales,
prices have remained comparatively steady in the current
qualities of American, whilst fair Orleans and Mobile are
quoted 1-16 d. per lb. higher than on Friday last, but in
other grades we renew our quotations. Surats are dull
of sale, and about 1-16 d. per lb. lower. Brazil rather
easier to buy. Egyptian and Sea Islands are without

change

Messrs. Wright, jun., and Co., remark

Our Cotton market closed last Friday with a depression,
the offering stock being largely in excess of demand,
and prices in favour of the buyer. Nothing has occurred
since then to disperse the previously existing feeling, and
the business in progress partakes of that'monotony now,
and for so long, the ruling characteristic of the trade
Spinners operate only for present requirements, both as
regards quality and quantity, and speculators no longer
impart any animation to the daily transactions. A good
export demand is experienced, and consumption is main-

tamed to the fullest extent, but which are inadequate to
relieve importers of the incubus of present holdings
and promised large incomings. . Notwithstanding the
firmness of prices in the American markets, the gene-
ral impression here and in the manufacturing districts
is, that a lower standard will shortly -be current, and in
anticipation of such the present action is based.
Endeavours are made to allay apprehension on political
subjects, but a vague feeling of alarm still pervades the
public mind, and it would be forming too hasty an opinion
to say that the possibility of Europe's peace being
disturbed is at an cud, as is apparent from the fluctir -
tions in the fnnds and public securities, of which this

forms the index. An Austrian loan of six millions ster-
ling is shortly expected to be offered for negotiation in
London, and the death of the King of Naples serves to
complicate matters. We close the week without any
improving symptoms. The total sales of the week, in-
cluding what has been forwarded from the ship's side,
amount to 44,210 bales, of which 35,650 are American.
Speculators have taken 430, and exporters 3,490, leaving
40,290 bales of all kinds to the trade. The import for
same time is 56,836 bales, of which 52,246 are American.
The quantity knoWu to be at sea from American ports, is
about 145,000 bales.

There is a slight improvement to notice in the
General Produce Markets. During the week, the

demand for Sugar was good, both for refining and
grocery sorts, at full prices. Molasses continues in
steady demand. The ingliiry for Ruin has been
good, at extreme rates. Business in Coffee limited,
but no change to notice in prices. The sales of
Rice during the week reached nearly 23,000 bags,

at improving rates. After the receipt of China
letters on Monday, a good inquiry set in for com-

mon to medium fine blackish leaf Congou Tea, at

rates not previously obtainable, but the supply on
offer is small, whieli, checks large operations.
Common Congous are now saleable at is per lb..

The Corn t-rale remains in a dull state. At our
market to-day hardly any transactions were
Prices. of Wheat and Flour are, however,
pretty fiem. Indian Corn declined 6d per quarter.
Beans, Oats, and Barley were neglected, but good
Oatmeal was inqUired for, at an advance of 3d per
load. At the London market, to-day, there was a
fair demand for English Wheat at Monday'S.rates.
Foreign was held firmly, but sales limited.. Flour
brought full prices. Oats and Barley brought
Monday's rates,. and Peas and Beans exhibited an
