_LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

STANLEY LITERARY AND DEBATING SOCIETY.—On Wed-
nesday evening readings were given by several of the mem-
bers from popular living authors, which were much ap-
plauded. •
We are requested to state that it was Mr. Gibson, and not
Mr. Carne, who seconded the nomination of Mr. Whitty,
for the office of select vestryman, at the Easter vestry on
Tuesday.

THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT ENGAGING TRANSPORTS AT
LIVERPOOL.—The French Government, it is said, are
engaging transports in England, and yesterday (Thursday),
it was stated on 'Change at Liverpool, that two large screw
steamers had been chartered, to convey troops from French
ports to Italy.
SAILORS FOR THE NAVY.—Yesterday, a bounty of £lO
was offered for sailers for ships of the line, but we have
heard that very few men were found to embrace even
that tempting offer. The fact is, we hear that men are
very scarce at present, and that it will be difficult to " man
the navy" just now with efficient hands. _ _

MEETING OF MAGISTRATES.-There was a meeting of
magistrates held yesterday, at the Court-house, Chapel-
street. We understand the object was to make arrange-
ments in reference to the preservation of public tranquility,
this day, at the nomination of the candidates for the
Borough, should anything happen to require the assistance
of the police and magistracy.
MR. E. W. THOMAS'S BENEFIT CONCERTS.—Mr. Thomas,
so well known and appreciated as the originator
of the "Shilling Concerts," having lost consider-
ably by. his enterprise, gives two grand benefit
concerts in the Philharmonic Hall, on Friday evenins,
and Saturday afternoon, May 6th and 7th. Added Co
the merits of Mr. Thomas himself, will be, found a first-class
programme, together with the, names of the Misses Hiles,
Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Halle, &c. ; and also the justly cele-
brated Euphonic Band, and other attractions. A. man like
Mr. Thomas, who has contributed so much to the public
amusement and gratification, should not be forgotten, and
we are sure he will not, and that the public will now prove
to him practically their sense of his services.
" A ROLLING STONE GATHERS NO Moss."—A t the
Police-conrt, yesterday, before Mr. Preston George Moss,
a black man, who keeps a boarding-house at
155, Burling-
ton-street, charged two unfortunate women, named Arabella
Grinshall and Elizabeth Neill, with having robbed him . of
£4, in a brothel in Chisenhall-street. The chief portion of
the story could not appear in a newspaper, but the prisoners
accused " Mr. Blackey" of conduct that was a fearful vio-
lation
of the moral code ; it is only fair, however, to say
that he denied the statement. Another feature in the case,
was that the sable complainant told the officer who had charge
of the case, that he would give half-a-crown to the reporters
not to publish his name. Tis piece of impertinent liberality
has secured the insertion of " rouling Mr. Moss's" pen-
grinations, from Burlington-street to Chisenhall-street. The
prisoners were sent for trial.
PERFORMANCE AT THE THEATRE ROYAL, IN AID OF
THE HOMEOPATHIC FREE DISPENSARY.—We would remind
our readers that the performance of the Literary and Dra-
matic Society, will take place at the Theatre Royal, on
Monday evening, and, as the box plan is filling rapidly, an
early application is necessary to secure seats in the dress
circle. The Mayor, Mr. Ewart, M.P., Mr. Rathbone, Mr.
Brocklebank, and many more of our leading residents, have
already taken places; and there is every prospect of a
crowded and brilliant audience. The pieces selected for
performance are " Much Ado About Nothing," (with an
original prologue by Mr. F. M'Cabe, and an epilogue by Mr
Crompton), and the amusing burlesque of " The Sphinx,"
the latter being produced by particular desire. The gentle-
men who are to play upon the occasion, include the very
best of our local amateurs. The entertainment is worthy
of support, and we feel assured the public will not with-
hold their patronage for so useful and charitable an end.
COUNTY COURT.—WILLIAM DESILVA.—This insolvent.
again came before the court. Mr. Aspinall, instructed by
Mr. Husband, appeared for him, and Mr. Martin, as before,
for Mr. Joseph Dasilva, the brother, opposing creditor.
When the ease was called on, Mr. Martin said that this case
had been twice before the court, and that his Honour had,
on the last occasion, asked whether something could not be
done to accommodate matters between the two brothers.
His (Mr. Martin's) client had no vindictive feeling against
the insolvent. He had not opposed for money; the learned
counsel was prepared to make a statement, and upon that
statement, if satisfactory, as doubtless it would be, his client
would withdraw from further opposition.. Mr. Aspinall'
stated that it was a pity to see two brothers contesting. No
doubt the insolvent was under pecuniary obligation to his
brother, and had probably taken a course which he ought
not. For anything in which he had injured his brother, or
reflected on him, he was extremely sorry ; and it would have
been satisfactory if Mr. J. Desilvahad been in court for the in-
solvent to shake hands with him. He, however, being else-
where, the learned counsel hoped that when they met they would
shake hands. Mr. Martin said that, on the learned counsel's
statement, he would withdraw opposition. His Honour
remarked that the creditor having withdrawn, it was not
for the court to oppose, and th 'refore the insolvent would
be discharged. The °pi osit on had extended over .some
time, and he was bound to say there was some ground for
it, but the creditor withdrawing, the case was ended. His
Honour allowed costs of opposition.
CONSECRATION OF ST. JOHN'S CHURCH, BIRXENTLEAD.—
Yesterday, the consecration of this church, which was
built in Birkenhead in 1847, was solemnised by the Lord
Bishop of Chester. A large number of the clergy were in
attendance, including—the Revs. C. J. Hamilton, incumbent
of St. Johns ; A. Jones, Linton, Joseph Baylie, Dr.
Blakeney, John Blakeney, Tattersall, Brown, Fielding
(of Bebbingtou), Burnett, Knox, and others. After the
usual ceremony, and at the coiacluSion of the reading of the
deeds of the church, &c., the 110th Psalm was given, and
the bishop read the consecration service. Morning prayers
were read by the Rev. Mr. Hamilton, incumbent ; the
lessons by the Rev. A. Knox, and the Bishop preached a
sermon from 4th and sth verses of the 132nd p3alm —" I
will not sleep to mine eyes or slumber to mine eyelids,
until I find out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the
mighty God of Jacob." His Lordship delivered an
eloquent address from this text. In the course of it, he
alluded to the cause which had delayed the consecration so
long, it being chiefly the want of endowment. They had
now a small endowment, and he hoped to see it soon
increased. There would be an income from a number of
the pews. The rent of a large number of the pews is
nominal, and it is intended to extend the number of free
sittings. The district has not yet been assigned, but such
would be done as soon as possible. It would embrace a
great number of the working classes. He spoke in strong
terms of the great improvement that was taking place in
these classes of society, and said that the education of the
masses should be learned by religion. There was a large
congregation during the delivery of the sermon, which was
listened to with the greatest interest.
TOXTETH BOARD OF GUARDIANS.---The usual weekly
meeting of this board was held yesterday, at the Public-
offices, Park-road, H. S. Alpass, chairman, presiding. The
other members present, were---Joseph Harrison, J. B.
Hughes, Samuel Siddeley, Joseph Brundrit, J. D. Carter,
W. Wainwright, John Moss, W. Leyland, A. Grindrod, W.
Baynes, G. W. Hunter, and John Wilson. The report of
the governor of the West Derby workhouse showed that
there were in the house belonging to the Park, last week
371, this week 377, corresponding week last year 412. In
the hospital, last week 41, this week 40. Cheques were
drawn for out-door relief, to the amount of £llO. The
Chairman said he had an application from Mrs. Rowan,
widow of the late superintendent of the offices, requesting
that she might be put in the place of her husband, and he
was sure there would be no objectiun to that being done.
(Hear, hear.) The minutes of the visiting and building
committee were read, and Mr. Harrison moved that they be
confirmed. Mr. Moss wished to know why the selling of
sand had been discontinued. Mr. Harrison said, as chairman
of that committee, he had to tell Mr. Moss that it would be
less profitable to sell that sand than otherwise, considering
the present state of matters. Mr. Moss made some remarks
as to the new committee, expressing his dissatisfaction that
the gentlemen who had formed the last committee should
have been rejected. He knew that there were on the former
committee men much better acquainted with the building
trade than any on the present, as instanced in Mr. Millar,
Mr. Baynes, and himself. On that committee there were
five of his own party, and four of the other side, and he
thought it was not fair to make such a change as had
been made. The Chairman said it was a pity that Mr.
Moss should not first cast the beam out of his
own eye, for when he proposed a committee
of seven there were five of them his own party and only
two of what he called the other side, and therefore lie set
a very good example. Circumstances had changed at the
late election, and out of eight who formed the committee
two were of his party and six of the other side. He had
no doubt but that those who formed the present committee
would bestow all possible attention to their duty. Some
further observations were made, but the Chairman said he
could, not allow their time to be wasted in such a useless

_ _
discussion; and the matter dropped. Mr. nartison theafter
wards brought forward.the following motion—" That .lo
