ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH UNION RAILWAY.—The train
Which left Preston at five o'clock on Sunday afternoon,
whilst putting down and taking up passengers at Leyland,
was run into by the mail train which left about a quarter
past five. The fireman of the mail train had his leg-dread-
fully crushed, but fortunately no other individual itv the
train was hurt. _

THE SESSlONS.—Yesterday the Court of Quarter Sessions
opened before James Clarke, Esq., Recorder. The calendar
presents rather a large number of prisoners. Nearly every
case of interest to be tried has appeared in full detail in our
police reports, and there is, therefore, little necessity to
repeat them.
Dom( COMMITTEE—The election of a member of the Dock
Crtmtnittee, to supply the vacancy occasioned by the resigna-
tion of Mr. Potter, took place yesterday, at the Court Room,
Chapel-street when Mr. Thomas Martin, of the Glasgow and
Liverpool Steam Shipping Company was chosen. -The
votes tendered were, for Mr. Martin 160, for Mr. N :col 155.

THE LIVERPOOL EISTEDDFOD FOR 1839.—We beg to refer
our Welsh friends to an advertisement, which appears in our
paper this day, announcing the second Bardic Congress to
take place on the let of March—the anniversary of the patron
saint of Wales. In our next we shall explain more at large
the objects of this national celebration.

The result of cold winds, dense fogs, damp atmosphere,
&c. are frequently subversive of female comfort and attiac
tion, by generating cracks, chaps, and a harsh rough skin,
and signalising a prominent feature of an otherwise beautiful
countenance with unseemly coarseness. To successfully
oppose those innovations, the Ladies have a powerful friend
in ROWLANDS' KALYDOR—and where the resul
mentioned have attained progress or completion, this infallible
specific excludes and resists with an effective and rapid energy
truly astonishing, rendering the skin delightfully smooth and
pleasant; and, as increasing the fairness and transparency
of the skin, exceeds all competition.—See Advertisement.

LECTUNES ON SACRED POETRY.—We hail with much
pleasure, the announcement, as conveyed through Our Co-
lumns, tbat a course of lectures on the poetry of the sacred
scriptures, is about to be delivered by a Hebrew gentleman,
from London, favorably known in the literary circle as the
editor of the only Jewish periodical that has ever appeared in
this country. Considering that " the fear of the Lord is the
beginning of wisdom,, ' and as.steam and gas, railroads and
machinery, have long usurped and maintained exclusive
possession of the lecturer's chair, and though the trembling
visits, "few and far between," of their humbler sisters, Music
and Belles Letires, may occasionally have been tolerated,
biblical criticism, and a better acquaintance with the holy
Bible, are sternly excluded from that portion of useful know-
ledge, which utilitarian sages dispense to their followers.
The subject is therefore altogether new to the lecturing
rooms of Liverpool, and as the lecturer will doubtlessly do
justice to the noblest poetry known to man, we feel that his
labours will be productive of great good, and deserving of
every encouragement. We intend to hear him; and such
of our readers as feel interested in the diffusion of the, most
useful of all knowledge, will assuredly avail themselves of
the opportunity so unexpectedly offered to them.

ALTERATION IN THE NAMES OF STREETS.—WiIhiII the
last few months several alterations have been made in the
names of various streets in the town, of which it may be ac-
ceptable to supply a list :

Present Name.
roriner Name.
Canning-street. (Vauxhall-road) Blackstock-street.
Duncan-street East Hotham-street.
Great Nelson-street, (Lime-street) Lord Nelson-street.
Grenville-street, (Kent-street) Levison,street.
King-street, (Soho) Wilton-street.
King-street, (Bedford-street) Cypress-street.
Oxford-street, (Vauxhall-road) Oriel-street.

in other parts of the town. What, for instance, can be more
preposterous than continuing the name of " Mount-,pleasant,"
which leads up hill towards Abercrombv-square, to aStreet
that rounds the Workhouse wall at aboui a right angle flora

the public understand it, is at the end of Hope-street; but
the top of it, according to the present nomenclature, is at as
abrupt angle from that point, in a different neighbourhood,
and terminating opposite the far corner of the Lunatic Asy •
lum wall in Brow nlow-bill!—Journal.
WHIG RADIC AL LOYALTY.—At the late "Reform Dinner"
in Bradford, the following incident occurred at the Albion
Hotel, (one of the houses engaged for the dinner.) A beau-
tiful transparent figure of the Queen Conveniently at-
ranged at one end of the room, it was considered, would add
much to the dignity of the scene, and be et the same time a
significant emblem of loyal feeling. The company arrived,
and at the sight of the representation of our fair Queen was
equally surprised and indignant. A certain "gentleman."
got on his "logs," and protested the occasion should not be
desecrated by the presence of the figure, and peremptorily
ordered its removal; but no one being very prompt to execute
the order, the "gentleman" alluded to set to work, and with
the assistance of a few Caledonian brethren, succeeded in
pulling the figure down, and in "groaning" the Queen fairly
out of the room.— Leeds Intelligencer.
llt ISH COMPLlMENTS.—Complintents are running so high
between Messrs. O'Connell and O'Connor, that we really
feel that a sense of decency will prevent our giving any more
of either should they continue. The following is the last
description of the liberator by his faithful ally:—"The go-
vernment had Mr. O'Connell at their beck, who had been
ferreting out cases of high treason, and who had denounced
him (Mr. O'Connor,) as a firebrand. He, the bully, the beg-
ga Elnan, the ruffian, the vagabond, had actually enlisted him
(Mr. U'C.) for a guinea, as an Irish volunteer in 1831, while
he pledged his honour that the money was to purchase arms
to fight for the repeal of the union, if the Whigs refused to
accede it (bard groans and hisses.) There was a cowardly
blackguard for them!—there was the man who had sold Eng-
land and pawned Ireland, and redeye(' £lOOO from Potter;
r Wigan, to purchase the last drop or the liberty of the poor
which was blister+d with their blood
factory children, (tre-
mendous 2raan ing.) Potter never.de nied had
