SEWELL V. RABY.

This was also an action which was tried before Mr. Baron
Maule at Liverpool, when the jury found a verdict for the
plaintiff—damages £22. Mr. Cresswell now, by leave re-
served to him by the learned judge, moved for a rule nisi for
a nonsuit.—Rule granted.

The Duke of Sussex, accompanied by Lady Cecilia Under-
wood, the Earl and Countess of Durham, and the Ladies
Lambton, visited the City of Durham on Monday last. The
Duke received an address of congratulation from the Corpora-
tion, and was entertained in the College, by the Rev.
Prebendary Ogle. After attending Divine Service at 'the
Cathedral in the evening, the distinguished party returned
to Lambton Castle.--Newcastle Journal.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY FROM A SHIP

William Grace, a graceless fellow, was charged by a sailor
with having gone on board the ship of the latter, deliberately
entering the round-house, and there arraying himself in the
complainant's jacket, with which he was in the act of making
off, when he was brought to by the indignant tar. The case
was proved, and as the prisoner had but recently been let
loose from gaol, and had before been seven times committed,
he was summarily sentenced to three months' imprisonment.

PRAY FOR YOUR QUEEN.
(From the Church of England Magazine.)

" Endue her plenteously with heavenly gifts ; grant her in health
and wealth long to live ;—and, finally, after this life, may she attain
everlasting-joy and felicity, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
—LITURGY.

Pray for your Queen : upon your sovereign's brow
Youth lingers still, nor has experience there
'Written her duties in the lines of care ;
The hand that holds fair England's sceptre now
Is but a gentle maiden's ; can it clasp
That mighty symbol with a steady grasp?
Dark clouds are louring o'er our sunny sky ;
If they should gather, could that fragile form
" Ride on the whirlwind and direct the storm ?"
Wisdom, strength, energy, are from on high ;
Wouldst thou enrich her with these blessings? Pray :
One reigns above whom heaven and earth obey.

Pray for your Queen : her's is a woman's heart,
And woman's perils lurk around her way ;
Pleasure may lead her heedless steps astray,
Or flattery soothe when conscience wings its dart.
Love, that sweet well-spring of domestic joy,.
Scarce rises in a court without alloy;
And woman's sorrows may be her's to share :
Sunshine has beamed upon her path thus far,
But this bright scene one sudden storm would mar,
And England's rose might droop, though now so fair.
Say, wouldst thou shield her from these perils ? Pray
Strength shall be granted equal to her day.
Pray for your Queen : for an immortal soul
Is shrin'd within that bosom. Could we see
Time by the brightness of eternity,
A shade across life's pageantry would roll;
Then we should know how perilous is power,
Not hounded by the limits of life's hour :
Its deeds are stamp'd on history's open page;
Nor there alone—a tablet is on high,
Before the Almighty's pure and holy eye;
That record fades not by the touch of age,
And she must hear its witness. Christian, pray,
That joy be written there in heaven's bright ray.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1839-11-12

ROBBERY FROM A SHOP

Richard Murphy was charged with breaking a shop window
and abstracting six silver spoons. Mr. Ashan Cohan said he
was a pawnbroker, in Paradise-street. About ten o'clock
on Saturday night he was coming out of the shop, when he
saw the prisoner and another man at the window doing some-
thing. He walked round them, and saw a pane of glass
broken, and the prisoner handing something to his com-
panion. The prisoner then ran towards Custom-house-lane,
and the other towards Hanover-street. He pursued the pri-
soner, and caught him at the back of Mr. Halls's, a publican.
William Humphries came to his assistance, and Police-officer
406 apprehended him. Upon him were found a hammer,
two putty knives, and a box rule. William Humphries, a
working carver and gilder, said he heard the glass break.
They took the prisoner to Nuttall's public-house. Martin,
the police-officer, said he had since ascertained that the
marks on the window corresponded with the small knife
blade. Henry Cohan, son of the first witness, remembered
putting six spoons in the window opposite the glass that was
broken. He saw them on Friday afternoon, and they were
not afterwards sold. The prisoner was committed for trial.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY

Twa servant girls, Margaret Norris and Mary Mullen, the
former very good looking, were placed before Mr. Rushton
under the following circumstances. Mr. Hall, of Queen's-
square, who had given them in charge, stated, thet, yesterday
his house was robbed of a sum of £136, which had been taken
from a drawer in his bed-room, sometime in the afternoon
or evening, as his wife had seen the money at three o'clock,
and the money was missed at ten o'clock. As no other
persons were in the house on that day, he had no alternative
but to have both the prisoners apprehended. One of them
it appeared had been out during part of the afternoon and
evening, with leave from her mistress. The other had gone
out at the back door, while it rained, and remained out for
some time, without leave. She was seen by the stable boy,
who wondered why she voluntarily went out in the wet.
The other girl, who came home before her, in a plain stright-
forward manner accounted for the duration of her absence.
She had been with her sister who was at service in Bootle,
and had remained with her and a friend to see them off by
omnibus from Dale-street. The other did not account for
her going out, and there were some additional circumstances
of suspicion attached to her. She (Mullen) was ordered to be
remanded. The other received a good character from her
master, who said neither he nor his wife thought she was-the
guilty party, and but for the pecularity of the case, he would
not have had her apprehended. Mr. Rushton, on investigating
the whole case, said that he thought no imputation ought to
rest upon that girl (Norris,) whose story he believed, and she
was immediately discharged.

MACHALE v. MUCKERIDGE, alias MURRAY.

That sturdy churchman, Priest Mac Hale, has addressed
another letter on national education, to the late Secretary of
the Home Department ; but, with the usual timidity of the
braggart, he wavers even in the usurpations which his vanity
and ambition prompted him to make. He is no longer the
" John Tuam" of the former series of epistles, but the
John Archbishop of Tuam of the present.
But, be that as it may, he:lays about the ears of the Na-
tional Board with a skill and fury deserving of a better cause.
He runs amuck at all, and, sparing neither layman in his
rage, nor churchman in his gall, tilts at Morpeth and Mucke-
ridge [the decent sobriquet under which he attacks Dr.
Murray with as much vehemence as at Bryce, a Presby-
terian-education monger, and Blake, the Roman Catholic
privy councillor. Neither does he pass the opportunity of
letting the lay communion at large of the Roman Catholics
know that in all things the Hierarchy are their lords and
masters, and that for them to think for themselves in the
matter of educating their children, is nothing less than a
"mutiny"—yes, that is the word—"a mutiny" against their
ecclesiastics !

We have been informed, on authority which ought to be
competent, that a letter from his Holiness the Pope has been
received at St. Jarlath's, approving in the highest terms of
commendation the conduct pursued by Doctor Mac Hale
with respect to the (so called) National System of Educa-
tion, which, in Roman Catholic eyes, is worse than that of
Kildare-placc ; and also that a rescript from his Holiness,
addressed to Doctor Murray, has been read to the conclave
in Marlborough-street, just opposite to the National School-
house. In the latter his Holiness is said to condemn the
course adopted by his Grease of Dublin, at the same time
admitting the palliating circumstances of his position with
the Castle, and the expediency of obtemperating with an
heretical government for a season.
The unbridled insolence of Doctor Mac Hale's tone gives
a considerable degree of confirmation to the report ; and he
has at least the merit of speaking what he thinks, while
Doctor Murray thinks that which he dare not speak.--Dub-
lin Evening Mail.

on " National Educacion" deserve particular attention.
The " Vindication of the Church Establishment" is a power-
ful article, unanswerable in its arguments. The observations
on the " Destructive Character of the Roman Heresy" are
calculated to do much good, if attentively perused. We have
been much pleased with the pertinent remarks on " The
Doctrines of the Anglican Church." " The Churches of
England and Rome compared" is another very useful article.
The mass of miscellaneous information contained in the
Churchman will be found highly acceptable to the general
reader.

The Village Churchman. October, 1839

We are glad that we can bestow upon this truly useful, bu
unpretending publication, our unqualified approbation. It:

sound doctrines, practical exhortations, instructive narra-
tives, and pleasing anecdotes, ought to procure for it an ex-
tended circulation. The number before us reflects the high-
est credit upon the worthy editor. We hope his meritorious
exertions will be rewarded with a blessed issue.

A Discourse to Young Men. By the Rev. J. H. Stewar
A.M. Liverpool : Perris. 1839.

This impressive discourse has been published at the re-
quest of several young men belonging to the congregation of
St. Bride's Church, in this town, who heard it delivered.
We do not wonder that this request was made, and we may
safely say the Christian public will feel grateful to the vene-
rable author for his compliance with so reasonable a desire.
The counsels with which it abounds are calculated to be of
great benefit to youth. This sermon ought to be placed in
the hands of every young man, especially before he emerges
from the quietude of home to join in the busy scenes of com-
mercial life.

THE COURT AND THE QUEEN.

(From the Aqe.)
The proceedings at Windsor Castle continue to afford
matter for most serious consideration, exciting alike our pity
and our regret, and rendering still more imperative the ne-
cessity for the immediate expulsion of the Baroness Lehzen
and her clique from the Royal residence and the kingdom.
The differences—shall we call by such a mild term the con-
tinued contumelies by which maternal solicitude, through
long years past, is now so gratefully repaid ?—the differences
between her Majesty and her truly good mother, the Duchess
of Kent, have recently reached a height which it has become
impossible for the latter to put up with any longer.
A few days since, we know that her Royal Highness had
prepared everything for an immediate and final departure
from Windsor Castle, and that she actually came up to Ken-
sington to complete the arrangements.
By the advice of the Duke of Wellington, her Royal
Highness returned to Windsor, his Grace emphatically ob-
serving—" Unless you remain with the Queen for at least
six months longer, the monarchy will be in danger."
It may be that Sir Robert Peel was also consulted, for the
right hon. baronet was in town for two or three days during
the time to which we allude.
We have every reason to believe that the stay of the young
Princes of Saxe Cobourg does not prove so delightful as
"my uncle" anticipated. The gathering of the Pagets has
of late been like a flight of locusts in the Palace. It only
needs that old Anglesey should be appointed Lord Steward—
then the Beaudesert banner may float from the Round
Tower, superseding the Royal standard ; for " the family"
will have completely got possession of the Castle."
And thus stands Royalty ! Squabblers within the Palace—
angry distrust without—revelling and joy in its halls for a
favoured few—and rebellion in the country, carrying blood•
shed and terror amongst the many—the Popish foreigner re-
joicing the more over his Royal potage, because no prelate
or clergyman of the Church of England is ever present at the
banquet to disturb his swallow, and the Rome Secretary
sipping his champagne, whilst the blood-despatch from New-
port reposes in his eserutoire.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—There was no material change in our
market yesterday ; the prices of yarn generally continue to
droop, and lower rates were in many instances submitted to.
Some inquiry for printing cioth manifested itself during the
day; but we believe it wag chiefly from speculators, who
were tempted by the low prices ; and the business done was
not to such an extent as to produce any improvement in the
current rates. One or two additional failures have been
announced : but they are not of a nature to cause much sen-
sation in the market.—Manchester Guardian.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, Nov. llth.—
There has been rather more business doing to-day than last
Monday • but the prices have been ruinously low. The wool
market has been dull as usual, with the prices a shade lower.

N.B.—The said Sarah Robinson, during her stay in Exeter,
lived on the Alphiutou-road.

ANTHRACITE COAL FOR DOMESTIC PURPOSES,

(From a Correspondent of the Mining Journal,)
It is surprising that this description of fuel has been so
little known or used, as it appears to be; in Met, had it not
been for Dr. Arnott's invention of his valuable stove, the
inhabitants of London would have been ignorant of its ex-
istence ; as it is, the coal is considered as merely applicable
to that particular form of stove, whereas, in a common fire-
place, with a very trifling alteration, it makes the most
agreeable and economical fire of any fuel. Dr. Arnott's
stove is certainly a valuable invention, but its use is not con-
genial to an Englishman's feelings. It appears almost a
peculiar characteristic of an Englishman to enjoy the sight
of a cheerful fire. An anthracite fire certainly does not pro-
duce the lively flame of a Wall's-end coal fire, but when in
an active state of combustion there is a rich red glow of
heat quite as cheering. Good anthracite is a solid mass of
nearly pure carbon, in an exceedingly compact form, so much
so that it only burns on its surface, and only on the surface
exposed to a draught, the heat being reflected back from that
surface, and not at all passing either through the coal or the
fire. To adapt an ordinary fire-place to the use of this coal,
it is merely necessary ,o make a very small flue from the
back of the fire-place to lead up into the chimney, so as to
draw a current of air smartly through the fire horizontally,
to cause the air to act on the front of the fire, and carry off
the products, the heat being reflected out into the apartment.
The opening at the back of the fire into the small flue should
not be more than from an inch or two inches in width, the
depth being such that the bottom should pass down nearly
to the grate bars in the bottom of the fire-place, and the
top be just below the point at which the fire is kept, so that
it be always covered by the fire, otherwise much heat would
be last. In addition to this, the opening into the chimney
above the fire-place may be fitted up with iron doors, or
.valves, to open and close as required. When an anthracite
fire is once fully ignited, there is no smoke or disagreeable
odour comes from it, so that in very cold weather, or when
it may be required to heat a large apartment, the opening
into the chimney, (the usual passage for the smoke of an
ordinary fire) may be closed, confining all the heated air in
the apartment, which becoming oppressive, could be removed
by opening the iron doors or valves. When the air of the
apartment could be renewed, a clever furnishing ironmonger
could easily adjust the valves, so as to regulate the warmth
of apartments to a nicety.
These suggestions may prove serviceable to the readers of
the Mining Journal, resident in London, as the commence-
ment of winter. The coal, being so durable, must prove the
most economical fuel that can be used in London.

IMPROVED SODA POWDERS,

It has been observed, that the Soda Water, when kept in
jars, parts with its carbonic gas ; that carriage of it to a dis-
tance has been attended with risk and considerable expense ;
and that from these inconveniences, its use has been confined
chiefly to large cities and their environs. To obviate these
objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and effica-
cious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered to the
public.—Sold in boxes at is. Gd. each.

FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA.

In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro-
perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who,
from various causes, would experience great inconvenience,
or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the
Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses
the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate,
will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much
esteemed Medicine.

Two teaspoonsful 'of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine-
glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to
half-a-pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed
by the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Pharmacopoeias.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are
those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive
Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c. arising from a diseased
state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim-
ples, &c. from the Face, this Medicine has no superior.
The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation
has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name o
Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the
Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and:it possesses
no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is
injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation.
Sold in bottles, at 4s. 6d., 7s. 6d., 10s., 155., and 21s. The
larger sized bottles are the cheapest.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE....-YESTERDAY,

ATTEMPT TO BREAK INTO A 'WORKSHOP.
William Clare Thompson and James Dickenson were
charged with an attempt to break into a building used as a
shoemaker's shop, near the Prince's Dock. The occupier
•of the premises heard a noise over head at one o'clock yes-
terday morning, and on going out found the prisoners on the
roof, from which they had removed several slates. A police-
man was called, and they were given in charge. The owner
of the premises said that attempts of a similar kind had be-
fore been made, but the parties had escaped.
Both the prisoners were known to be bad characters, and
they were committed to hard labour in the House of Cor-
rection for three months.

STEALING FROM A PUBLIC-HOUSE.
An old woman, named Rose Callegam, was charged with
stealing two drinking-glasses from the house of Mr. Porter,
in Great Charlotte-street. She had gone in for a glass of
ale, and the glass being missed, she was followed, when the
two glasses were found upon her.—Committed to the House
of Correction for a month.
CHARGES OF RECEIVING OR BUYING STOLEN CASKS.
Margaret Farrell, an elderly female, was placed at the bar
on a charge of having in her possession a number of brewers'
casks or barrels, the property of various individuals.
Mr. Dowling stated, that though about forty casks were
found, there was as yet evidence of the identity of, only one
of them ; and this was accordingly adduced.
Inspector M`Gill said, that from information he had re-
ceived, he went yesterday to the prisoner's house, and asked
her if she had any casks to sell, stating that her house must
be searched. She made some demurs to the search, said she
had not bought a cask that day, and reque:sted him to call
next day. He proceeded, however, to search the house. In
a little back yard he found three or four barrels, marked
" Hebblethwaite," in legible letters. On being questioned
with respect to them, she said she did not know what she
gave for them. He afterwards found about thirty other casks
on the premises. One was marked " Copeland,, ' and two,
it appeared, belonged to Mr. Lune, brewer.
One of the casks was identified by a cooper in the employ
of Mr. Lune, Northampton-street. It had been sent to
Mr. Hugh Scallon's, corner of Smithfield-street, and was
numbered 38. It came back on the dray, yesterday morning
and was left on the parapet with three others, which had also
disappeared, but were .not missed till this morning. The
name, or branding, had been partly erased by being appa-
rently scraped or planed, but it was still legible.
The prisoner's daughter declared that her mother had not
bought a cask yesterday at all.
The case was, however, such, that the prisoner was re-.
manded.

In this number of Blackwood there are several articles o
first-rate merit. The introductory essay on " The Present
Position of the Church of Scotland" is replete with informa-
tion of the highest possible importance. We recommend it
to the attentive perusal of all who feel interested in the
spiritual welfare of North Britain. The continuation of
" Goethe's Life and Works" will be found well worth a
careful perusal. " The Queer Stick" is a rustic legend of
great humour and full of point. The second part of " Ten
Thousand a Year" fully justifies the encomiums which we
bestowed upon the first. The author displays great dis-
crimination of character. He has hit upon an original vein,
which we have no doubt he will work to advantage. We
anticipate much pleasure from the sequel of this amusing
tale. The " Philosophy of Roman History" comprises
some very appropriate remarks on the true relations to
civilization and barbarism of the Roman Western Empire.
The " Cursory Cogitations concerning Cats" is a light and
pleasant article, and onght to be read by every old maid in
the country. " Murder considered as one of the Fine Arts"
is very original in its conceptions. " Sayings and Essayings"
are highly philosophic. " The Tenants of Holywell Lodge"
is a tale possessing more than an ordinary degree of interest.
" The Crowning `of Charlemagne" is considerably above
mediocrity—a compliment rarely merited by any modern
specimens of poetry. " Have you read Ossian" is in
Christopher's best style, and will lead many to peruse those
truly sublime productious to which Macphearson gave pub
licity.
