a week. He afterwards drew £4 a week,--and left Mr.
Samuels, on that gentleman failing in business. Samuels
brought in a debt against Richards, and sued him in the
Borough Court for the amount, and obtained judgment.
This was the chief debt in the schedule, and His Honour
adjourned the case until the 26th of April, and said he
should expect the insolvent to be prepared with some pro-
position for the liquidation of his debts.
William Little Roberts, supported by Mr. Hime, late a
grocer and tea-dealer, was opposed. by Mr. Dear, one of his
creditors, who examined him at some length, to show that
he had had a large stock of goods, but that he had moved
away with them, that he was intending to enter into busi-
ness in a large way, &c.; &c. If transpired that the insol-
ve.t had had a large sum of money, which would have paid
a great dividend on the whole of his debts, and that he had
paid nearly all the sum to one creditor. Adjourned to the
26th of April.
William DeSilva supported by Mr. Husband, and
opposed by Mr. Martin. The insolvent was residing
at Robert-street North, where he was arrested. He
was a nautical instrument maker, and his brother
had seized his stock. The insolvent was examined
by Mr. Martin with respect to a number of articles
which he had, and not accounted for in his schedule. The
witness prevaricated very much in his answers—making one
statement this minute, and contradicting it the next. The
value of his stock was £475, but he put it
down in his schedule as valued at £l,OOO. His
brother seized all for a debt of £3OO. His furniture
cost him £lBO, and the fixtures, signboards, &c., 1001. His
Honour said, there seemed to be a certain concealment by
the insolvent, and he thought that the creditors should have
a full and amended schedule. There seemed to be a quantity
of property on his premises, but this the insolvent
repudiated as not belonginc, to him, and he offered to
deliver it up at once to the obfficers of the court. To this
Mr. Martin objected, and the case was adjourned to the
26th of April next, for an amended schedule to be put in.
Frances Richard Henry, supported by Mr. Husband;
opposed by a creditor; but was discharged forthwith.
Alexander Galloway, supported by Mr. Campbell ; was
unopposed, and his final order fixed for the 26th of April.

LIVERPOOL POLICE INftLLIGENCE -YESTERDAY.

BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD

STEALING ON SHIP-BOARD.—A foreigner, named Dserie
Honore, was charged with having stolen a gold watch and
chain from on board the ship Queen Selerite, now lying in
the Queen's Dock, the property of the master of the ship,
whose name is Zazur Nell. It appeared that the prisoner
has been in Liverpool only a few days, and that he went
"knocking about" foreign ships, and getting assistance
from the captains. The complainant in this case took him
on board on a visit, and gave him board and lodging and
every assistance. On Sunday, by way of gratitude, he
took the captain's watch and chain, value £l2, and on
Monday pledged the watch for £2 10s., and sold the chain
fOr one pound. When the captain missed the articles, he
accused the prisoner, who at once took him to the pawn-
shop where the watch was pledged. In answer to the
charge, the prisoner said he did pledge, and offered the
chain also, but the young man in the pawn-shop refused to
take it. When he (the prisoner) came into the street, the
young man came after him and offered him a pound for the
chain, and he gave it to him. Mr. Mansfield said, if that
young man could be found, he would order him into the
dock. The prisoner (who W,'S well dressed, and seemed
respectable) was mudi affected ,d

, and was remanded.
GEORGE'S HALL.—James
a notorious thief, a returned transport, was charged
Ali having picked the pocket of a Mrs. Savage, of 60,
Virgil-street, of £2 145., in St. George's Hit. It appeared,
from the evidence of John M'Kenzie, that he saw the pH-
anti another man in the hall, the previous day,
'ing the lady and a friend of her's about the hall, for
a long time, and at last he saw them take the purse from
her pocket and run off with it. He gave information to an
officer, but he said the officer told him he could
not leave the place where he was stationed. The witness

LivnapooL, Tuesday Evening.
A more moderate business has been done in the
Liverpool Cotton Market to-day, but there has been
no change in the tone of the market, and prices con-
tinue very steady. The sales amount to 8,000 bales,
and include 3,000 for speculation and export. The
following are the

The amount of business done in the Manchester
market has been but moderate to-day, and was
chiefly confined to Yarns for the Continent. The
buyers of Goods and Yarns for India were very
quiet, and prices for these were scareely so firm.
There was no change in any other department.
There was no improvement in the Liverpool Corn
Trade to-day, and, with a moderate attendance of
dealers, only a very small business was done in
Wheat. Flour was rather more in demand, but
there was no change in prices. Yellow Indian Corn
declined in price ld per cental.

Messrs. Edward Ciialoner and Co. have issued their
usual monthly timber circular to-day, and from it
we quote the following :
We may now hope that the peace of the werld will be
preserved, as all the Sovereigns about to meet in conycongress
have weighty self-interests in its conservation ; and it° has
been a clever manceuvre on the part of the Emperor of the
French in causing himself to be asked by the present Czar
to form a congress (particularly as the late Emperor of
Russia was always opposed to any recognition of him as
Emperor), based on the congress of 1815, to which " Holy
Alliance" the present Emperor of Austria now appeals.
Thus the Emperor of the French becomes recognised in his
life-time by all the European powers, and his dynasty
established under a new congress, superseding that of 1815,
which, distinctly calling itself a holy," ignored the Napoleon
dynasty, then and for all future time. In the opinion of
many the present difficult political questions could by no
means be better arranged than by a congress, as proposed.
Should the differences now existing between some of the
European powers be properly settled, we may hope for a
I4ng and uninterrupted peace, the great powers being a
party to the congress, none of whom are likely to be
benefitted by a war, we may trust that should any
petty disagreement take place hereafter, it will be the
the general interest to make the decision of this Congress
respected. lam not a politician, but this leads my mind
to the conviction that trade will now revive, and that pro-
digiously and prosperously. Cheap money, cheap raw
material, cheap bread, and established peace, will tend to
develope by means of modern facilities, trade and intercourse
to an extent perhaps not yet even contemplated. Equally
wise in his policy is Napoleon, in having repealed the duty
on furnitwe wood; because, by employing in his capital
those who work in this material they will become as little
disposed towards revolution as even our own citizens, the
