blocks to another customer. He made irquiries, and
found such to be the case, arid the blocks now produced
were his master's property.'
A greengrocer in the thicrdere-r:ad said she p. r-
chased six blocks of fuel from the prisoner yesterday
morning.
In answer to the charv, the pi is,,ner t aid he delivered
all the goods to the customers, and he nG vex. sold the six
blocks to the female.
The greengrocer positively swore that slte purchased
them of the prisoner.
Mr. ATECKETT asked the clerk whether the prisoner
could get the fuel at any other place? He replied than
ho could not, as they were the sole patentees. He, how-
ever, should be able to show that the prisoner stole tLe
property if he was remanded.
Mr. A'I3ECKETT remanded him till to-morrow.

TOWER HAMLETS REGIS7'RATION.
Yesterday, Mr. J. F. Macqueen, the barrister up-
pointed to revise the lists of voters for the Tower Ham-
lets, held a court for that purpose at the Court-house, in
Wel'close-square. Mr. S. E. Moss, a wiee merchant,
claimed to have his name inserted in the list of electors
for the parish of Whitechapel, in respect of a house
which he occupied at No. 8, Magdalene-row, Prescott-
street, Whitechapel. An important question affecting a
great number of votes was raised in this case. The ob-
jection to the claimant was made at the instance of the
collector of assessed taxes, who admitted that Mr. Moss
was properly qualified, with the exception that he bad
not paid the assessed taxes duo up to the sth of January
last. The claimant submitted that under the recent Act,
11 and 12 Viet , c. 90, entitled "An Act to regulate the
payment of rates and taxes by Parliamentary electors,"
he had done all that was requisite to entitle him to have
his name placed on the list. He contended that the as-
sessed taxes were only payable half-yearly, in April
and October, and that having paid those due in October,
1850, he bad paid all that was due up to the sth January
last, and had therefore complied with the re qirements of
the Act in that respect. The barrister, after considerable
discussion, referring to the Acts bearing upon the point
at issue, said it seemed to him to have been. the intention
of the Legislature to confer on the collector a right to
demand the rate quarterly. The claimant ought to have
paid the rate due on the 25th December, and, having
failed to do that, could not avail himself of the benefit of
the clause in the Registration Act. He must therefore
decide against the claimant.

ANOTHER DEFIANCE OF THE ECCLE-

SIASTICAL TITLES BILL.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—Birkenhead, which was
rendered so conspicuous during the recent agitation
against the Papal aggression by the riotous proceed-
ings of the Romanists, bids fair to signalise itself by
a still further defiance of the law. Last week some
excitement was created among the Protestant portion
of the community by the appearance of a large
placard upon the walls, bearing the following an-
nouncement :
" ST. WERBURGH'S CATHOLIC CHURCH, BIRKENHEAD.
" The annual sermon, in support of St. Werbargh's
schools, will be preached on Sunday, Sept‘mber 14.
Pontifical high mass will be celebrated at eleven o'clock,
and the sermon preached by the Lard Bishop of Shrews-
bury. In the evening, vespers will be sung at half-past
six o'clock, and the sermon preached by the Lord
Bishop of Troy, after which there will be a solemn
benediction."
The result was, that yesterday morning a large
congregation—many being attracted out of mere
curiosity—assembled at St. Werburgh's. The
church is one of very unpretending character, but it
was evident that great preparaticns had been made for
the occasion. The altar was decorated with flowers,
and to the right there was a kind of canopy or throne
intended for the reception of "the Lord Bishop of
Shrewsbury." The service was principally conducted
by three priests, in vestments of cloth of gold, who
appeared to act as the chaplains to the bishop. " The
Lord Bishop of Troy" did not make his appearance,
and his absence was thus accounted for by Air.
Brown, before the service commenced, who stated that
" the Lord Bishop of Troy was called to the south,
and consequently could not be present as announced
in the printed placard ;" but his Lordship, " their
own bishop, would address them in the evening as
well as in the morning." The sermon preached by
" the Lord Bishop" in the morning was a very plain
discourse, entirely confined to the charitable object
for which the ceremony was got up. The only no-
ticeable feature was that the greatest devotion was
paid to the "sacred person" of the bishop, whose
hands were repeatedly kissed during the ceremony
by the officiating priests. On leaving the chapel
many of the congregation, principally those of the
poorer class, kneeled down and eagerly caught the
garment of the " prelate," which they applied to
their lips.

QUAKER CRICKETERS. A match took place on
Saturday last, between eight of the Kendal National School
Cricket Club and sixteen of the Kendal Friends' School
Cricket Club (including John Bartley, of the Kendal
Cricket Club), when the Quakers proved victorious by five
runs. The National School Club having won the toss, sent
in their opponents in drab, who succeeded in scoring 36.
The National School Club then went in, but their demure
opponents were too many for them, and they only scored 17.
The Friends again went in, and obtained a score of 33,
making a total of 69 in both innings, leaving the National
School to get 52 in their second innings. They, however,
only scored 47, being beat by the broadbrims by five runs.
THE JERSEY MURDERER.—The convict Fouquet
has received a reprieve for one fortnight beyond the time
fixed by thy. Royal Court for his execution, for the sole pur-
pose of inquiry into his case. The decision of the Home-
office has been communicated to him by Mr. Advocate Marett,
and he received the intelligence with much apparent grati-
tude.—Jersey Sun.
REINFORCEMENTS FOR THE CAPE.—The authorities
have ordered her Majesty's screw-ship Vulcan, at Ports-
mouth, to have her repairs and fittings expedited as much as
possible, as the ship is required to convey a regiment of Otto
men to the Cape of Good Rope to reinforce Sir Barry Smith's
army.
SIR JOHN Ross's TRAVELLING EXPEDITION IN THE
ARCTIO REGlONS.—Captain Phillips travelled thirty-one
days ever Cornwallis's Island, but did not succeed in crossing
it, but nevertheless the labour was very great, and Sir John
Ross himself accompanied the travelling party for fourteen
days in the spring of the year, exerting himself in a sur-
prising way.
WRECK OF A STEADIER.—The Pozzo di Borgo
steamer, of thirty horse-power, plying between Boniface and
Ajaccio, has just been lost within 500 yards of the shore, in
the Gulf de Valeno. There were on board five men, consti-
tuting the crew, and tour passengers ; two of whom were
General Niel, inspector-general of engineers, and his aide-
de-camp. The vessel was steaming along, when she sud-
denly struck with so terrible a shock that her keel opened,
and the water poured in with great rapidity. The boat
would only hold about three or four persons, and the general
proposed thatall on board should proceed in it to the shore
in three trips. 'I he boat was then lowered, but the others,
in place of waiting for their turn, rushed to the side and
jumped in. The consequence was that the boat was upset,
and the persons in it precipitated into the sea;. they all, how-
ever, regained the vessel. The proposal of the general was
then acceded to, and the other persons on board insisted on
his going ashore with his aide-de-camp in the that trip.
These two gentlemen and two others reached the shore in
safety, but just as the boat was returning the steamer went
slowly down, and the other five men were obliged to endea-
vour to support themselves as well as they could until the
boat returned. Four of the men were saved, the other,
who was one of the crew, being drowned. The next day a
diver was sent down to the wreck, and, curiously enough,
one of the articles brought up was the general's writing case,
containing all the papers connected with his tour of inspec-
tion. The passengers were able the next day to reach
Ajaccio by the diligence which passed near the spot where
they got ashore.
THE ROYAL VISIT TO LlVERPOOL.—Yesterday a
communication was sent in to the council from the com-
mittee of the Exchange news-room, suggesting the desir-
ability of making the area of the Exchange available on the
day of the Queen's visit, by closing it in to all except the
holders of tickets, of which 2,0_0 would be placed at the
disposal of the council, reserving the remainder for the pro-
prietors, subscribers, and tenants of the building. It has
been ascertained that this area would afford convenient see-
ing and standing room for 8,000 persons; and this is cer-
tainly the most available and best point from which the in-
habitants of Liverpool might testify their loyalty to their
Sovereign without inconvenience to her Majesty. The Ex-
change buildings form three sides of a quadrangle and the
Town-hall the fourth, so that the latter commands a view
of the whole of the area. Her Majesty, who is to lunch at
the Town-hall, would, it is suggested, doubtless avail her-
self of this opportunity to gratify the loyalty of her subjects
by appearing at the window.
COLLISION IN THE CLYDE.—Between ten and
eleven o'clock on Saturday forenoon, as the steamers Sove-
reign, Captain M'Aulay, and Laurel, Captain Langlands, the
one on her outward trip to Greenock and Belensburgh, with
between 200 and 310 passengers, and the other bound from
Belfast to Glasgow, having also a considerable number of
passengers en board, were passing that part of the river
known by the appellation of the Long Dyke, they came into
contact with each other on the starboard side. The steamer
Sovereign, from the extreme violence of the shock, sustained
considerable damage on her wing and wheel, the Laurel
being also much injured. Some excitement prevailed in both
vessels, the passengers being temporarily alarmed at what
some, no doubt, considered the critical situation in which
they were placed. The passengers of the Sovereign, however,
were immediately transferred to the Lady Kelburn which
fortunately happened to be passing at the time; while those
on board the Laurel, after some little delay, reached Glasgow
in perfect safety, the steamer Emperor having followed close
at hand until satisfied the Laurel was beyond all danger.—
North British Mail.
PRINCESS'S THEATRE.— On Saturday Mr. Keeley
met with an accident, which will render him incapable of
performing for a few nights. In getting upon an omnibus
his-foot slipped, and the iron step inflicted a painful injury
upon his leg.
THE CHANNEL ISLANDS.—Lieut.-General Sir John
Burgoyne is making a most minute inspection of the state of
the fortifications in the Channel Islands and the western coast
of England.
STEAMER FROM ST. THOMAS TO VENEZUELA.—It
has for a long time been subject of complaint that the means
of intercommunication between these ports should be of the
most uncertain and unsatisfactory character. Inadequate
as were the former methods of convevance—even the mails
and Government dispatches for Venezuela having been
compelled to remain at St. Thomas until a factitious op-
portunity of forwarding them presented itself—the mercan-
tile community will, we are sure, hail the establishment of a
regular steamer to ply between the ports on this important
station. An enterprise like this is deserving of all encou-
ragement; and we have, therefore, great pleasure in an-
nouncing that a fine new steamer, the Berta Ilarrassowitz,
built in Baltimore, will shortly commence packet service be-
twixt St. Thomas, La Guayra, Puerto Cabello, and Curs-
era, carrying passengers, specie, general freight, and the
mails, under a contract with the Venezuelan Government.
The steamer will also touch at other intermediate ports when
circumstances permit, and as the accommodation provided
for passengers is of a first rate description, we have no doubt
that the enterprising proprietors will find their public-spi-
rited undertaking as liberally patronised as it well deserves
to in.—European 2'imes ( West Indian Edition).
