day's work. As far as we can at present see, the
system we recommend must eventually be resorted
to ; but it is bey ter it should be adopted at once, and
thus place a vast number of workpeople out of the
reach of those demoralising influences which sur-
round an existence of dependence of the worst
description. Unless the cotton districts take the
initiative, little more will be done for the operatives.
Public sympathy for Lancashire is fast dying out,
and in a little while it may have to battle single-
handed with overwhelming difficulties, unless the
present policy be abandoned, and the claims of
labour be placed before those of capital. As to
the actual position of affairs in the North,
we find, by the last return furnished by Mr.
Farnall, that during the week ending the 19th
inst. there was an increase of pauperism amounting
to 2,046. This addition makes up the total number
of paupers to 132,676, against 61,264 in the corre-
sponding week of 1861, and 264,417 in the corre—
sponding week of 1862 The result, then, is, that
while upon the year there is u decrease II mounting
to 131,741, there is upon 1861, when Lancashire
was prosperous, an increase of 71,412 persons, or
116.6 per cent. In judging 6f the present position of
the cotton districts, it is necessary to bear the figures
we have quoted in mind, as, although the close of
1863 may show a marked improvement over 1862,
there is little cause for congratulation when we con-
sider what is the normal condition of pauperism in
Lancashire. Besides, in addition to those relieved
by poor-law guardians, there are the operatives sup-
ported by charity, numbering some 50,000 persons,
so that in round numbers there are 180,000 steeped
in poverty against 61,264 at the corresponding
period in 1861. The cotton famine, then, it may
be reckoned, now affects nearly 120,000 persons, and
we must remember that while last year at this
period pauperism was on the decrease, it is now in-
creasing, which arises from a falling-off in employ-
ment in the mills. We must also take into consi-
deration the fact that some 15,000 persons have
disappeared from the returns of relief committees
and parish guardians, they having either left the
neighbourhood or been absorbed into other occupa-
tions. In addition, 1,500 are engaged on works of
public improvement. It is absolutely necessary to
recollect these circumstances in reviewing the pro-
gress of events in Lancashire, and in forming a
correct estimate of the present condition of the
operatives and the prospects of the cotton trade. So
decided is the improvement upon last year that the
public is apt to forget that the difficulty has only
been lessened, not overcome, and as poverty is once
more on the increase, it is pretty conclusive evidence
of the mills not being able to assist in mending
matters. Indeed, we must confess that as affairs
now stand we are getting farther into the wood
nstead of working our way out of it.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was about an average supply of beasts on offer in
to-day's mark. All breeds met a dull inquiry, and Monday's
prices were barely supported. Tha extreme value of the
best Scots was 5s 2d per 81bs. The show of sheep was
seasonably goad. Downs and half-breda moved off feely, at
full currencies; but heavy sheep were a slow sale, at late
rates. The top figure was 6s per Blbs. Choice calves were
firm, and the turn dearer. Otherwise, the veal trade was
inactive. Pigs and milch cows were very dull, but not
quotably lower.

A Pilot Stabbed while in Charge of a VesseL

Another of those case: of stabbing by seamen,
which have been so frequent in this port of late
occurred on board a Spanish ship in the Mersey
last night. It appears that the ship Maria y Vicente
arrived in the river yesterday in charge of James
Henry Irvine, pilot, of No. 6 pilot boat, who re-
sides, at 126, Wellington-road. The ship an-
chored opposite the King's Dock, it being intended
to dock her at high tide. While in the river tea
was ordered, and Irvine requested the cook of the
vessel, Orlean San Francisco, a Malay, to bring him
some sardines. On hearing the order the nook
evinced a sulky disposition, muttered something
which could not be distinguished, and refused to
comply with the pilot's request. A short time
after wards Irvine repeated the order, when the
cook again muttered an unintelligible expression.
Irvine then gave the cook a slight push, and turned
away. A minute afterwards Irvine felt something
trickling down one of his legs, and on looking saw
and that blood
twhaast
flhoewwisags
copiously aslyinfrot thigh,
from the
thewound. The cook
went to another part of the ship, and Irvine, who
was in a fainting condition, as soon as the vessel
had been anchored in the basin, went on shore and
gave information of the occurrence to police-
constable Barrow, No. 7. This officer, in company
with police-constables 366 and 523, got into a boat,
went on board the veseel, and asked for the cook.
They were told that he was in the forecastle, and
after they had called to him he came on deck. They
told him that ho was charged with stabbing Irvine,
when he replied that he was cutting chips and that
Irvine fell against his knife. Op being asked by
the police-officers where his knife was, he went into
the galley and produced it. The knife, a formidable-
looking instrument, with a blade about five inches
long, was covered with blood.
The injured man, who had lost a great quantity
of blood, was conveyed in a cab to the Northern
Hospital, where the wound was dressed and he was
then conveyed home. The surgeons stated that
though Irvine was not in immediate danger the
wound was a most serious one, and it is doubtful
whether be will be able to appear before the magis-
trates to-day.
San Francisco was conveyed to the emit bride-
well, and will this morning be b: ought before Mr.

Loss of her Majesty's Gunboat Lively.

The Dutch mail, which arrived on Tuesday,
brought intelligence of a most fearful gale from the
N.W. with hail and snow at intervals, having been
raging along the whole extant of the Dutch, Danish,
and adjacent range of coast, occasiouing much havoc
amongst the shipping. The weather had been very
tempestuous the lest week or so, but on Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday the wind gradually increased
in violence until it blew with the force of a hurri-
cane. Foremost amongst the disasters is the re-
parted loss of her Majesty's gunboat Lively, Lieut.
Welch, which had been despatched in search of the
missing trawling smacks from the Humber. It is
stated that the Lively had been driven ashore at
Texel, and that Mr. Herne, the engineer, was
drowned, the rest of the crew being saved. On the
receipt of the news the Lords of the Admiralty
directed her Majes'y's steamer Medusa, lying at
Sheerness, to proceed with all despatch to the mouth
of the Texel with the hope of getting the gunboat
off. No satisfactory tidings had been gleaned of
the seven or eight missing trawling smacks, except
that the sterns of the small boats bearing the names
of two of the vessels, Richard and Harry of Hull,
and Kingston of Hull, have been washed ashore
near Texel, giving rise to the worst fears as to
their fate. Two steamers are reported to have
been blown ashore. One was the Auguste Louise,
scyew steamship, which was on a voyage from Ham-
burg to Rotterdam. Like the Wilhelmsberg, emi-
grant ship, she was cast upon the Terschrlling
some three or four miles out from the island. A
large Swedish ship, called the Sumatra, Captain
Brundin, which was on a voyage from London to
Gothenburg, was lost near the land, and, with the
exception of two or three, the whole of her crew
perished. The John Margrieta, bound to Zweite,
from the Tyne, stranded and then sank off Harlin-
gen, and of those oa board only the pilot and a boy
are stated to have been saved. A long list of vessels
wrecked has been posted, and in several instances
the crews are reported to be missing.

THAMES.

THE GREATEST VIRACW IN THE DISTRICT.—Emma
Mason, a very drunken and dissipated woman, who has
done immense mischief in her time, was brought before Mr.
Partridge, charged with being drunk and disorderly, and
violently assaulting Samuel Strickland, No. 83 K.
The complainant said, that at an early hour this morn-
ing the prisoner and a mart with whom she cohabited were
quarrelling and abusing each other in the Old Manor-road,
at the back of Stepney Old Church. He desired them to go
home and the man after some persuasion did leave, but the
prisoner would nat leave, and made use of the most
horrible language that ever escaped the lips of a
human being. He then took her into custody
and she made a violent attack upon him, and bit his finger.
He removed her a short distance, and she then threw her-
self on the ground, and kicked. and plunged in such a man-
ner that he could not remove her until he obtained assist-
ance. She repeatedly struck him and attempted to scratch
his face.

The Prisoner—You took advantage of my weakness, you
villain. (Laughter.)
The Policeman—Weakness, indeed I The prisoner is a
match for any two men in the force, and five men were
engaged in bringing her to the station-house.
Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had
been repeatedly in custody for assaults, drunkenness,
riotous conduct, attempting to commit suicide, and other
offences. The prisoner and her paramour were a nuisance
to society, and had frequently created a disturbance in the
Commercial-road and other places, to the annoyance of the
respectable inhabitants.
_

111 r. Partridge—Has she been punished before ?
Roche—She has been committed to prison over and over
again.

_Mr. Partridge—l shall commit the prisoner to the House
of Correction for six weeks, and to be kept to hard labour.

The prisoner gave utterance to a volley of obscenity and,
abuse, and demanded two months' imprisonment. She was
about to resist the gaoler, when he declared he would
have none of her antics, forced her into a cell in an instant
and locked her up.

thus place a vast number of workpeople out of the

Pcblic sympathy for Lancashire is fast dying out,
and in a little while it may have to battle single-

the actual position pf affairs in the North,
we find, by the last return furnished by Mr.
Fernall, that during the N7eek ending the 19th
inst. there was an increase of clauperism amounting
to 2,046. This addition makes up the• total number
of paupers to 132,676, against 61,264 in the corre
sponding week of 1861, and 264,417 in the corre-
sponding week of 1862 The result, tl`m.n, is, that
while upon the year there is a decrease mounting
to 131,741, there is upon 1861, when L, ancashire
was prosperous, an increase of 71,412 per sons, or
116.6 per cent. In judging cf the present
position of
the cotton districts, it is necessary to bear the figures
we have quoted in mind, as, although the ,close of
1863 may show a marked improvement over 1862,
there is little cause for congratulation when wt con-
sider what is the normal condition of puperista
Lancashire. Besides, in addition to those reliced.
by poor-law guardians, there are the operatives sup-
ported by charity, numbering some 50,000 persons,
so that in round numbers there are 180,000 steeped.
in poverty against 61,264 at the corresponding:
period in 1861. The cotton famine, then, it mar
be reckoned, now affects nearly 120,000 persons, and
we must remember that while last year at this
period pauperism was on the decrease, it is now in-
creasing, which arises from a falling-off in employ-
ment in tkie mills. We must also take into consi-
deration the fact that some 15,000 persons have
disappeared from the returns of relief cornmitteei
and parish guardians, they having either left the
neighbourhood or been absorbed into other occupa-
tions. In addition, 1,500 are engaged on works of
public improvement. It is absolutely necessary to
recollect these circumstances in reviewing the pro.
gress of events in Lancashire, and in forming
correct estimate of the present condition of the
operatives and the prospects of the cotton trade. So
decided is the improvement upon last year that the
public is apt to forget that the difficulty has only
been lessened, not overcome, and as poverty is once
more on the increase, it is pretty conclusive evidence
of the mills not being able to assist in mending
matters. Indeed, we must confess that as affairs
now stand we are getting farther into the Wood
nstead of working our way out of it.

MANSION-HOUSE.

DARTNG ROBBERY.—Two women named Rogers and
Wilson were placed at the bar charged with highway rob..
bery.
The prosecutrix, a lady named Bancroft, said last night
she missed the last train from Poplar to Fenchurch- street,
and in consequence she had to walk the distance. When
she arrived in Bishopsgate-street, she met the two prisoners
one of who was crying. They asked her to give them a cup
of tea, and the tale they told was such a distressing one
that she consented to give them what they required, and
they took her to a coffee shop, but she
.did not know the
name of the street in which it was (Widegate-street).
Rogers (beginning to cry)--Oh, my gracious I—why, it's
all false.
Mr. Good—Don't make that noise. I suppose you think
you are not known.
This remark took the prisoner by surprise, and she then
(Yearned a very impudent manner.
The witness then proceeded with her evidence. She took
out her purse to pay tor the tea, and there being about 12s.
in it, she supposed it attracted their attention, for Mne-
diately on getting into the street the prisoner Rogers struck
her between the eyes, and Wilson, she supposed, took the
purse out of her pocket, and having emptied it, threw it on
the ground. The half of her return ticket was in the purse.
The female searcher at the Bishopsgate Police Station
found some silver on the prisoner Wilson, and also the half
railway ticket.
Rogers—The old woman was quite overcome with drink
I never touched her. The few boys who were round her in
the street must have had her ha'pence.
Wilson—l never took her money. The railway ticket
she threw at me while we were in the coffee-shop.

The gaoler said Wilson had been convicted at the Old
Bailey, and both had been many times summarily convicted.
Wilson—There's a mistake about that.
Rogers—l never was convicted in roy life.
The Lord Mayor committed both prisoners for trial.

"T " GHOST CLUB" at the
CANTERBURY HALL—New and Interesting
Spectral Tableaux.—Mr. C. MORTON is enabled to announce
that, throulh the medium of ?rotessor Pepper's World of
Shadows, a "GHOST CLUB" is nightly held at the CAN—
TERBURY HALL. The object of the Club is not the re-
peopling of the Haunted Houses of London; but, through
the agency of Phantoms, tc present vivid (if transient)
pictures of the drama of real lite, both in its serious
and mirthful aspects ; and, by means of spectral tableaux,
to recall, and still further impress on the mind, some
of the teachings or pleasantries of the best wr'ters. At pre-
sent, the two orders of Slavery—the Slavery of the South,
and the "White" Slavery of a more boastful civilisation,
receive emphatic illustration; and these life pictures will be
rapidly replace' by others. The pages of Shakspere and the
elver Dramatists, of Scott. Ihod, Ineoldsby, Dickens, &c.,
in turns, furnish subjects for illustration.
All the other Musical and Pictorial attractions as usual,
including Operatic Selections, &c. ; Comedy by Unsworth
(the modern Demosthenes) Eugene, George Hodson, E.
Marshall, and George Hutcherson.

N.W. with :mil and snow at intervals, having been
raging along the whole extent of the Dutch, Danish,

Loss of her Majesty's Gunboat Lively.

The Dutch mail, which arrived on Tuesday,
brought intelligence of a most fearful gale from the
N.W. with hail and snow at intervals, having been
raging along the whole extent of the Dutch, Danish,
and adjacent range of coast, occasioning much havoc
amongst the shipping. The weather had been very
tempestuous the lest week or so, but on Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday the wind gradually increased
in violence until it blew with the force of a hurri-
cane. Foremost amongst the disasters is the re-
parted loss of her Majesty's gunboat Lively, Lieut.
Welch, which had been despatched in search of the
missing trawling smacks from the Humber. It is
stated that the Lively had been driven ashore at
Texel, and that Mr. Herne, the engineer, was
drowned, the rest of the crew being saved. On the
receipt of the news the Lords of the Admiralty
directed her Majesty's steamer Medusa, lying at
Sheerness, to proceed with all despatch to the mouth
of the Texel with the hope of getting the gunboat
off. No satisfactory tidings had been gleaned of
the seven or eight missing trawling smacks, except
that the sterns of the small boats bearing the names
of two of the vessels, Richard and Harry of Hull,
and Kingston of Hull have been washed ashore
near Texel, giving rise to the worst fears as to
their fate. Two steamers are reported to have
been blown ashore. One was the Auguste Louise,
sc-rew steamship, which was on a voyage from Ham-
burg to Rotterdam. Like the Wilhelmsberg, emi-
grant ship, she was cast upon the Terschelling
some three or four miles out from the island. A
large Swedish ship, called the Sumatra, Captain
Brandin, which was on a voyage from London to
Gothenburg, was lost near the land, and, with the
exception of two or three, the whole of her crew
perished. The John Margrieta, bound to Zwolle,
from the Tyne, stranded and then sank off Harlin-
gen, and of those on board only the pilot and a boy
are stated to have been saved. A long list of vessels
wrecked has been posted, and in several instances
the crews are reported to be missing.
