Two REW AVonns.—A young man who was charged
yesterday, before Mr. Mansfield, for being drnnk, forcibly
denied the charge, when his Worship asked him how he
o persons had sworn to the fact ? The
he was certainly infused, but not

drunk—fine word infused, it must become g
" toners." In an

oral amongst
r case, a very pompous but evidently
llv lady, was being cross examined by Mr. Cobb, she

deseribea a lady as haviig had an alapathic fit. Mr. -Cobb
itistaiitly sat down. Timelor him, after that !

COTTON AND CORNS.—Yesterday, at the police-court,
an " old buffer," named Daniel Vickers, was brought up by
officer 425, who said he got him leaving one of the docks
with this-:(here he exhibited a tolerable-sized pack of
cotton)—concealed on his person. I thought he was
" rather bulky" to be- natural, and on searching him I
found the cotton all round his body—legs and all.
(Laughter.) The prisoner said, you see, sir, the old woman
is very much troubled with corns, and so am I, so I was
just bringing this bit of cotton home to cure them. Loud
laughter followed, and Dan. was discharged.
MR. AND MRS. BARNEY WILLIAMS. —SOIlle• novelties
have been produced by Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams, at
the Amphitheatre this week, and very well-filled houses
have been the result. In any part which belongs to the

determination of criticism can withstand his drolleries of
expression, gesture and words. Out of this somewhat narrow
range; however, his Irish impersonations appear to fail;
and the higher he aims, the more conspicuous the failure
becomes. He has, therefore, done well of late, in keeping
to just that class of characters, for which he has undoubtedly
an artistic specialty. '
Mn. STEER'S SCHOOL OF THE FINE ARTS AT CLAUGHTON,
BIRKENHEAD. —Mr. Steer opened his School of the Fine
Arts, last evening, most successfully, with a brilliant lecture
by Mr. Frank Howard, introductory to the history and
general principles of the fine arts, which enchained the
attention of n crowded and elegant audience-,the majority
being ladies, as might have been expected. The ease and
fluency of Mr. Howard's delivery, and the animated manner
in which he illustrates his matter, frequently pointing his
instructions by a joke, which not only relieves the monotony
of dry teaching, but fixes the idea to be enforced on the
memory.meory. Mr. Howard mid° numerous sketches during the
lecture, and the audience expressed themselves highly
delighted, giving good augury of the mu

BIRKENHEAD BURIAL BOARD. —Yesterday evenin_
adjourned meeting of this board was held in the Town-hall,
Birkenhead.. The Rev. Mr. Knox occupied the chair. In
consequence of Mr. Craven having withdrawn his motion
the day previously, at the request of several gentlemen, pre-
vious to the close of tto poll, there was no statement to de-
clare. A vote of thanks was moved to Richard Bryans,
Esq., for the manner in which he had filled the chair, on the
previous day, at the poll, to which he replied in suitable
terms. The following is a dissection of the poll at the time
it closed : No. of Persons. No. of Votes:

BIRKENHEAD J CommissloNEns. On Tuesday next, the
annual election for Birkenhead Commissioners will take
place at the Town-hall, Birkenhead. Five are to be elected
for three years, and two for two years each. As yet, there
seems to be no stir in this matter, but we suppose a day
or two will bring out the opposition lists.
To TIM " UNIAXED WOKING MAN.—You consider

to in the matter of

tion ; and you are

taken laudanum. It appeared that the grandmother of
the child was in the habit of taking the above liquid. The
child's mother brought a penny-worth of it home, and left
it in a small bottle in a tea cup, on a low table, and the
child got the bottle and took a quantity of the laudanum,
from the effects of which it died. Verdict accordingly.

THE SEMAPHORE (s.s )—This fine vessel, which his been
laid up for some time receiving a general overhaul, of her
machinery, &c., came out of No. 2 Basin on Monday, and
will shortly resume her sailings between this port and Liver-
pool. In addition to the repairs to her engines, she has
been supplied with a new screw propeller, besides having
been beautifully painted, and otherwise neatly fitted up.--

SINGULAR AND Tnua.—A young Scotchman living in
Pleasant Valley, four or five miles from the city, has been
for a long time engaged to a young lady in Scotland, at his
old home. On the 6th of January he came down at the
usual hour to breakfast, looking so serious as to attract the
attention of the family with whom he boarded, and in
answer to their enquiries, he said that his betrothed Jane,
in Scotland; had died that morning. Ridicule, nor reason,
could remove the impression. He called their attention to

the date, and said dews would come to verify what he said.
A few days since a letter was received, stating that the
young lady died on the 6th of January, at 10 o'clock a.m.
She was dead at the early hour when he made the announce-
ment, allowing for difference in time. We give the story
as told us by a friend acquainted with the parties, and have
