TO TIIE EDITOR 01, THE ATIIENRUAIr.

Sir,—Having been a passenger on board the Liverpool
steamer during her late unfortunate expedition westward,
_iin
and
main, ain, and knowing the interest you have mauifesteu
the great scheme of Atlantic steam navigation, i offer_ no apo-
logy for communicating, immediately on my arrival here this
morning, a few of the leading particulars :
We left port on Saturday, the 20th—more than fifty pas-

some days before, in consequence of long-prevailing violent
west winds : it soon became a serious obstacle to our progress.
Bad weather came on, rains and squalls. Still the boat .went
on bravely. At times the sea, which grew worse and worse,
broke over her fore and aft, sweeping all before it, and giving
her not unfrequently tremendous dead digs, which, as we lay
in our berths at midnight—or tried to lie—seemed absolutely
to take up the ship and give her a shaking as a dog does a
rat. During this time it appears some damage was done.
Some small leakages were sprung about the upper part of the
vessel, such as might be expected in a new one under such
circumstances, causing a little transient alarm, but probably
without much reason. The fore-cabin suffered severely ;at
one time the water, as I now hear, was some inches deep
there. I also understand that the cargo, to the amount of 150
tons, appears to be damaged throughout. An accident at one
time happened to the machinery, which occasioned a suspen-
sion of operations for some hours. Still we pushed on, not
much exhilirated by such a beginning, but yet more and more
convinced of the staunch qualities of the Liverpool as a sea-
boat, and moreover satisfied with the behaviour and manage-
ment of the Captain and all the Officers on board. Thus mat-
ters stood, when we were suddenly notified of the captain's
resolution to turn back ; a great sensation arose of course—a
council was called—every cabin and berth turned out their
cadaverous-looking tenants, sea-sick, sleepy, and all. It
seemed that the engineer had sent in a written. report of the
state of the fuel, from which it appeared, on a comparison of
quantities and distances, that there was not enough on board
to carry us through the voyage, and that consequently we
must seek absolute safety in retreat. To this nothing could
be said : we acquiesced with the best grace we could. At
the end of between nine hundred and a thousand miles, on the
expiration of the sixth day, we turned round and went before
the gale, the ship dashing through the surge with an eager-
ness which seemed to say that no time was now to be
And now, you will ask what was the cause of this
culty ? Want of coals, and nothing else. The shipa fine

CARLISLE.

Ti election of Town Councillors took place on Thursday
last, when,
with the exception of Mr. Randleson, grocer, in
the place of ,'lr. Robson, stonemason, the whole of the old
Councillors were re-elected.
.

CHESTER.
In this city the newly-c.lected Councillors are Reformers,
with the exception of one.

SHREWS6VRY.

The Tories have gained one vote in this borough ; leaving
the numbers on the present Council—Reformers 25, Tories
15. This leaves parties (as we stated on Saturday) just
where they were before.

WORCESTER.
The election here, according to the local _Herald, excited no
interest. Beyond the fact that the electoral body were apathetic,
our Contemporay conveys to us no available intelligence.

MONMOUTH.-
The Merlin states that in one of the wzrds there Was a
sharp contest, but of the politics of the candidalea either in his
ward or the others no mention is made.

The election of Councillors, in the room of those going
out in rotation, took place on Thurs

(TO ➢E CONTINUED.)

THE OF NoVEMBER.—The rogues of
boys we see have caught the spirit of the times, and have con.
yerted Guy Faux into a Bishop. We passedlone this morning
in the R^v. Mr. Mortimer's own parish, dressed up with a
gilded mitre, ragged canonicals, and a mask that had a strong
resemblance to Phillpotts. We did not hear exactly the
canticle which had been made for the occasion, but it seemed
to run in this strain :
Please to remember the brawling Bishop,
Him we'll show how to dish up,
For he's the preacher of words of strife;
Of bigot's zeal he sharpens the knife;
Burro, boys i burn, burn, burn ;
He who kindles hell-fires shall roast in turn.
It is stated that several men are about to be em-
ployed in boring for coal at Weithill-common, about three
miles from Kington ; if they succeed in discovering such a
valuable acquisition to the country, they will most effectually
astonish every
" geologist" in the vicinity.—Hereford Paper.
Shortly after two o'clock yesterday morning a fire
broke out in the workshop of Mr. Carey, a cane chair-maker,
in Chatham-gardens, Holton New Town, which did much
damage to that and the neighbouring house. The inmates
with difficulty effected their escape.
The Sovereign coach from this city to London again
plies throughout the journey upon the turnpike road, in conse-
quence of the irregularity of the railroad conveyance occasion-
ing it frequently to be considerably behind its usual time of

SUNDERLAND.

With two exceptions only every thing there has proceeded
satisfactorily. The Sunderland Herald says :—" With
pleasure unfeigned we congratulate the great body of the rate-
payers of this borough, on the triumphant style in which they
have wiped off the foul aspersion that factious and designing
men dared to cast upon—not their honour and probity, which
are unimpeachable—but on their common sense, in publishing
it as a possibility, that they could so far stultify themselves as
to elect for their municipal representatives men pledged to the
destruction' of municipal institutions—men, all their lives
long the sworn foes to freedom, but who have recently,
for party purposes, chosen to parade themselves as patriots I
Again do we most heartily congratulate the Liberals of Sun-
derland on the success of yesterday. Their opponents chose
their own ground, plotted in the swept and garnished office all
the :capital manoeuvres that were to render resistance impos-
sible ; but, woe to Toryism I the rate-payers have swept away
with a vengeance, the spiders and their webbF.

BRISTOL.
The Tories, it is true, have triumphed. But their is
nothing in the circumstances of this defeat of the Liberals to
disgrace or discourage the party ; and the fact that the same
constituency which has now returned three Tories, returned
fonr Liberals last year, is an indirect evidence no less of this
than of the means employed to procure the reverse.
The Mercury J observes :—" Defeated, in the first in-
stance, by the treachery of a professing Whig, and in the
second by a deliberate violation of the law, the Liberal party,
entitled as they morally are to nominate the aldermen, are
again prevented from exercising that right for the protection
of the purses of their fellow-citizens : but, defeated though
they have been, there is no disgrace in that defeat, when the
means resorted to by the nominal victors in the struggle for
power are duly cousidered."
London, England, 1838-11-05

GUILDHALL

Mr. Ramer, formerly a publican in St. Saviour's, South-
wark, appeared to an information flied against him by a fruiterer
of Covent-garden, named Joseph Bigg, for
he had incurred a penalty of 200/. gamin, by which

- .
The defendant had been before the Magistrate cn the pre-
vious day, when it was stated that the gaming consisted in
his raffling a clock for forty five shares, at 1/. aeh, and the
Nlagi,trates recommended that the impiness should he settled.
No person appearing to support the information, the case was

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION—HOUSE.
On Saturday Henry Goynier, an elderly man, was charged
with robbing his mistress, Mrs. Batten, cheesemonger, of Ship
Tavern passage, Bishopsgate-street, to a great extent.
The prisoner, who keeps a dairy near town, off-red bail,
which the Lord Mayor refused to take, and fully com-
mitted him.
London, England, 1838-11-05

KENDAL.

The result of the election in this town is satisfactory to
the Mercury, a Liberal Paper, in which it is stated that a
more judicious selection could not have been made.

WARWICK.

The election here- ended in the return of only two' Libe-
rals and four Tories, for the six Liberals who had quitted
office. We need hardly observe that this result was
hailed by the Tories as a signal triumph. Had they succeeded
in returning the six, as they certainly expected, they would
just have turned the scale in the Council. The Warwick
Advertiser states that the majority in the Corporation, how-
ever, is still in favour of the Liberals.

FALMOUTH.
Some Conservatives were let in.

H ELSTON.

Here a political struggle took place, four names being put
up on either side. At the close, the number stood—Conser-
vatives, Messrs. John Kendall, jun. 104, Wm. Penbertby 98,
Ralph Michell 7.5, Thomas Harvey 73—Radicals, Mr. John
Ellis 68, George Cunnack 60, J. M. Read 45, Thos. Rogers,
late Alderman, 44. These four are Reformers.

THE HARVEST.—A most favourable cFange has
taken place in the weather, v. WI every prospect of its cent nu.ng to be
fair ; and we may re.isonably hope, notwithstanding the cod :,zl.l un-
genial winds which have so long prevailed, and the heavy rain shat has
fallen within the last fort tkht, that no injury has been done which fine
weather may not retrieve; and that the crops will not be eventually
damaged. We do belive that the representations of the :tate of the
latter in several districts have been greatly exaggerated for interested
purposes; and that no absolute failure has in any instance taken place;
and we will trust in Divine Providence for bringing to perfection the
harvest with which our fields are teeming. It is admitted on all hands
that the potatue crop will be most abundant—great in produce ant ex-
cellent in quality; and this in itself is a great blessing, and ckie for
which we should be duly grateful, being that upon which the poor
mainly depend for food.—Dublin Evening Mail of Monday.
TILE NEW AGITATION.—MR. O'CONNELL.--
The Corporation Bill, which it was so confidently predicted would be
law this Session, will not be law. It is rejected ; and for once the
Tories, in their hatred of Ireland, have concurred in her wisheS. The
„Bill is thrown out—and there must be agitation. But what becomes of
the Tithe Bill ? If that pass, it will be the source of greater agitation.
Mr. O'Connell will lie in Dublin on Tuesday. He will call a public
meeting on Wednesday. The public indignation will get concentration
and effect--

" To give it then a tongue, and make it speak,
\Vero :vise in man."
In the mean time every thing which can indieiVe public opinion is o
impoitance on the new agitation, its means and objects.—Pilot.

SUSSEX v. THE MARYLEBONE CLUB, WITH PILCH, WENMAN,
AND COBRETT.—This game was commenced at twelve o'clock on
Monday morning, in Brown's grounds at Brighton, and terminated
on Tuesday evening in favour of the Marylebone gentlemen by
six wickets, as will be seen by the subjoined score. The batting
of Pilch, Wenman, W. Ward, and Lord Grimston on the Maryle_
bone side was remarkably fine, and tkat of C. Taylor, Esq., Box,
and Millyard, on the Sussex side. Sussex has now sustained four
defeats this season, and their reputation as a cricketing county is
sinking. They field well, but are deficient in batsmen. N% ith
Pilch they might play All England, and it is reported that a match
of that description is forthwith to be made.

PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 26.—The Portsmouth elec-
tion is over, with triumphant success to the Liberal party. At
a late hour last night the Tory chairman of Dr. Quarrier's
Committee waited on Sir George Staunton, with a letter from

ELECTION COMMITTEES.

(Concluded from our Second Edition of yesterday.)
IPSWICH.

After hearing evidence and Counsel,
The COMMITTEE decided that the vote was bad.
The Liberals had no further objections to make, and as Mr.
Kelly was now in a majority of ono.
The COMMITTEE came to the resolution that Mr. Kelly was
duly elected, but that the opposition to the petition against
Mr. Tuffnell's return was not frivolous or vexatious.

NEWCASTLE•--A terrible snow storm has taken
place, which lasted sixteen hours, and was accompanied with a
most violent tempest, and many shipwrecks, we fear, may be
apprehended. A valued correspondent informs us that a
liberal subscription has been entered•into for the poor. The
Corporation headed the subscription with loot.
Yesterday morning about one o'clock the policeman
on duty in Kensington-terrace discovered part of the premises
of Mr. Grafton, checsemonger, on fire. He alarmed the in-
mates and neighbours, and proceeded for the parish engine,
which promptly arrived; others quickly came up. On their
arrival the premises were enveloped in flames, and Mr. Francis
Brothers and family, at the second floor windows, imploring
assistance to escan. The firemen fixed their ladders to each
other and raised them against the windows, and succeeded in
rescuing Mr. Brothers and family. There was a plentiful
supply of water. The adjoining premises were saved from de-
struction. The stock and premises were insured.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF NARY-
LEBONE.

BROTIIER, ELECTORS,
ril HE contest in which we are now engaged is,
ji. whether Reform or Tory principles shall triumph in your
Borough. On the one side we have Lord TEIGNMOUTII, a
thorough-going Tory—on the other, throe Gentlemen, well known
for their political integrity and ability. The majority, with one
accord, will expel the Harley-street Candidate. The only question,
therefore, is, which of the three Reformers—Lord NUGENT,
Mr. EWART, or Colonel THOAIPSON—shaII be supported.
The first, finding the majority in favour of Mr. Ewart, has ho-
nourably withdrawn. To induce one of the others to follow so no-
ble an example, we have endeavoured to ascertain the opinion of
the Electors ; and, sacrificing all individual feelings for any par-
ticular Candidate, we have determined to support Mr. EWART,
believing that in his favour the majority of the votes of Reformers
will be recorded at the Poll.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER and Alderman Prue.)

LARCENY.—Mary Avn Stannard was indicted for stealing a ring
value 41., and other articles, the property of Elizabeth Glass.
The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty.

Mr. DOANE defended.

It appeared that the prisoner had known the prosecutrix for many
years, and had nursed her through some illness, 'for a week or two in
December last ; and that she was not paid for that service. She had
pledged the ring at Putney for Cs , te a pawnbroker named Steward,
who said he did not at the time know the value of the ring, but now
considered it to be worth three or four pounds.

Doane., for the defence, submitted that, In the absence
of Mrs. Glass (who could not attend), the Jury et.uld not soy
that these articles were not given to the prisoner by Mrs. Glass,
as a mark of gratitude for her attendance, particularly as the prisoner
was in distressed circumstances, and had lately lost her husband. The
Learned Counsel then called the sister of the prisoner, who spoke
fasourably of her character.
The RF.CORDErt, in summing up, observed, it was not likely that
Mrs. Glass, who had not liberality: enough to allow the prisoner any
wages, would have been so generous as to give her a ring, which, though
ugly—(A laugh)—was of some considerable value, and the more so, to
the prosccutrix, from its antiquity.
For the ,atisfsction of the Jury, the policeman who took the prisoner
into custody was re-called, and stated that she said the articles had been
Given to her.

The Jury, after a few minutes consultation, found the prisoner Not
Guilty.

The Racoanart directed the articles to be taken care of till the prose-
cutrix made spine application respecting them. The Jury had found
they were not her property, that she had given them away, and he
would feel some difficulty in ordering them to ba restored to her.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
llenry Nash pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with
embLzzling the sum of 31. 175., the property of his master, Daniel
Deacon.

The other rases tried during the morning were of a trifling and unin

possession of some of the priso:-.crs. The Magistrate before
whom the charge was taken directed the Rev. Gentleman to
proceed on his voyage, considering that there would be suffi-
cient evidence of identity without him.
After hearing e% idence,
The COMMON-SERGEANT summed up, and havincr very mi-
nutely pointed oi.t the various pal ts taken by the different pri.
savers in the transaction, directed the jury to acquit Crouch,
as the evidence did not affect him, besides which he had to a
considerable extent furthered the ends of justice.
The Jury instantly acquitted Crouch, and found all the
others guilty.
The COMMON-SERJEANT said, that Smith appeared to he
incorrigible ; he had lately been incarcerated for a former
offence, but no sooner was he liberated than he committed an
extensive-and systematic robbery. The sentence of the Court
therefore was, that he be transported beyond the seas for the
term of 14 years. With respect to the females, they had re-
ceived good characters, and the jury had moreover recom-
mended them to mercy. The Court was of opinion that they
,vere not old hands, as they bad manifested a lack of that
caution which was generally exercised by adepts in their
business. The sentence, therefore, the Court was about to
pass was very light—viz., that they be severally impri-
soned and kept to bard labour in the House of Correction

for six months.
At five o'clock Mr. Serjeant ARABIN took his seat upon the
bench, and disposed of several cases of misdemeanour, the evi-
dence in which was totally unfit for publication.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE•

MANSION-HOUSE.
A young woman of respectable appearance was brought be-
fore the Lord Mayor under the following circumstances:—
Thomas Rice, a patrol of Coleman-street, stated that a few
minutes before ten o'clock on the precedinc, night a gentleman
informed him that a cab had been driven from King William.
street towards Moorgatc-street. Upon turning into Alcor-
gate-street witness saw a cab, in which was a young. female
screaming violently. The horse was dashing along without a
driver, and witness stopped it, and after having safely disposed
of the young woman, who appeared to be in great terror, de-
posited it in the Greenyard.
Mr. Thomas Evans ran and called the officer, and the cab
was stopped; but the person who had been driving suddenly
disappeared, leaving the cab and the young woman to shift
for themselves.
John Meadows, a young man who claimed the cab as his
master's property, stated that on Monday evening, at about a
quarter to eight o'clock, a gentleman hired him near the
Mansion House, and desired him to drive to Stone's End, a
gin palace in the Borough. Upon arriving at the house the
gentleman invited him to drink some bottled ale, and having
placed the cab in the care of a man he accepted the invitation.
While they were enjoying their liquor and conversation two
young women entered, and called for half a quartern of gin.
One of them was the female described by the former witnesses.
The gentleman soon addressed them, and prevailed upon them
to take some wine, and in the meantime witness went to give
the horse a drink. Upon his return the gentleman got upon the
top of the cab, and witness was putting the young women al-
luded to, who appeared to be under the influence of drink, in-
side, when suddenly the former said, " All right," whipped
the horse, and gallopped off towards the bridge at full speed.
Witness was tumbled upon his back by the suddenness of the
movement, and upon getting up he ran as hard as he could
towards London Bridge, jumped into a cab which was in the
road, for the purpose of overtaking his own, but the horse of
which was unable to get out of a lame trot ; he then jumped
out, and jumped into another, which made no better speed ;
and, at last, despairing of success, walked back to the gin pa-
lace in the hope that some chance might restore to him his
master's property. Witness afterwards heard that the horse
and cab were in the Greenyard.
The LORD MAYOR—Is there any chance of finding this per.
son who is called the gentleman?
An officer said that the gentleman was most willing to re-
munerate all parties, but was obliged to go out of town.
His LORDSHIP.--1 shall not expose the person, as he is will-
ing to make any recompense in his power.

CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK.

According to official accounts from Odessa, the Russian
fleet has received during the present year 618 pieces of can-
non, cast in the foundry of Alexandrowski. From the dock-
yard of Nicolazeff, this year, has been launched four sail of the
line. The general opinion at Odessa was, that the Emperor
of Russia's intention was to put his fleet in a state to make
head against the English, in case a war should take place be-
tween him and England.
This morning we have only a French mail with the express
from Paris, which is of a very meagre description in respect to
Continental intelligence. As yet we do not hear of any arri-
vals from New York.
