a man named Dennis was charged with stealing a quantity
of wine, About three months ago Mr. Maxwell, who has
a wine-cellar in Exchange-street E rst, having missed
several bottles of wine, gave information at the Police-
office, in consequence of which the cellar was examined,
and it was found that at a portion of the wall next to an ash-
pit a brick bad been taken out. A watch was set, and,
on Tuesday, the prisoner was found in the ash-pit with
several bottles of wine. Sent to .gaol for two months.

SHIPWRECK AND HUMANE SOCIETY.—The commit-
tee of this society held their usual monthly meeting on
Saturday, when a silver medal of the-first class was voted
to Captain White, of the Richard, for picking up the
crew of the Enchantress from a raft, and clothing and
maintaining them for fifty-three days till safely landed in
Liverpool. Captain White was previously offered reim-
bursement by the society, but he declined all pecuniary
recompense. Sums to the amount of 255. were awarded
to boatmen for saving life.

ARRIVAL OF AUSTRALIAN SHIPS.—The ships Fanny,
Australia, Emigrant, and Lady Head, have arrived safely
at Melbourne, and without a single case of sickness on
board any of the vessels. The Lady •Head made the pas-
sage in the short space of 82 days. They belong to the
" Liverpool Line of Packets," despatched by Messrs. J.
S. de Wolf and Co. and Mr. J. M. Walthew, of this
town, who are about to despatch the fine ship Kate for the
same destination, to be followed by the Prince Arthur
about the middle of next month.

RELIC Or THE ROMAN TIME.—The Carlisle Journal
&scribes an antique pot, which was found in Lockerbie-
moss, in 1851, by some excavators, by whom it was sold
for old brass. It is supposed to be of .Roman origin, and
left there by the Romans at the time of building the wall
between the Solway and Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Its
height is 20 inches ; circumference, 3 feet 6 inches; stand-
ing upon tree legs, of 6 inches each, with a loop or handle
at each side of the top of the pot ; and the aperture for
the lid is about one foot in diameter. The relic is now in
the possession of Mr. Wright, Roscoe-arcade.

CHRIST CHURCH ScnooLs.—A short time since, in
explaining the system pursued at the schools in Christian..
street, in connection with Christ-church, the Rev. Field-
ing Ould observed that the boy's school presented the
plearing feature of being taught by teachers who had been
trained within its walls. It had turned out five clergy-
men, one of whom was appointed a teacher, and after=
wards entered Bt. Bees College, in Cumberland, where he
studied for the ministry. He was subsequently ordained
by the present Bishop of Chester, and is now a curate in
the north of Ireland. The rev. gentleman also stated
that the annual expense of the schools was £5OO.
THE NEW SANITARY BILL.—A draft has been printed,
containing all the leading provisions of the bill of last
year ; and on Thursday the Parliamentary sub-committee
met at the Town-liall, for the purpose of amending this,
and putting it into such a form as might be acceptable
to the Council. Mr.. Stewart having intimated the pro-
bable hostility of great landowners to one -clause espe-
cially, 'making the owners of unbuilt land liable for a
proportion of the cost of outlet sewers,—a motion was
carried that the chairman (Mr. Langsdale), the deputy-
chairman (Mr. Dover), the borough engineer, and the
town-clerk, with Mr. Stewart, should confer together,
and see if such a bill could not be framed as should meet
with the unanimous approval of all parties.

SUICIDE FROM FEAR .OF STARVATION.—An inquest
,was held at Manchester, on Tuesday, on the body of
John Hey orood, a carter, aged 63, who drowned himself
on Monday morning. The old man had seen better days,
but was now reduced to parish relief, and tor the last
two years had been accustomed to sleep on the long settle
in a beerhouse kitchen. Tnis shelter, however, was:to
be taken from him, and he was, moreover, of such
drunken habits that his weekly pay of is. 6d. from the
union had been stopped. The relieving officer gave him
a note for the workhouse, but Heywood declared that he
would not use it, he would starve first. He was found in
a tub of water quite dead, his bead and arms in the
water, and his legs nearly touching the ground. Verdict
temporary insanity.

The ri

Cowsicsx.—The Ebba Brahe, for Mobile, put back on
Saturday, having been in collision on the night of the
25th, off the Skerries, with the Swedish barque Elizabeth,
from Canton for this port. The Ebba Brahe lost her
bowsprit, head, cutwater, &c. The captain and nine of
the crew of the Elizabeth jumped on board the Ebba
Brahe, but the mate and one man remained on board the
Elizabeth. Tne latter is supposed to have sustained such
injury that she could not keep afloat long. The Ebba
Brahe was unable to render assistance on account of heavy
gales.

THE MASKED BURGLARS.—A man named Arnold was
committed, at Kirkdale, on Friday, for trial at the assizes,
on the charge of being concerned in the recent midnight
outrages in this locality, especially at Mr. Owen's, West
Derby. The prisoner was apprehended for a robbery
committed in Herefordshire, about a fortnight ago, and
committed in the first instance in that county ; but was,
a few days ago, brought here for examination on the
charges above referred to.

OFFICE ROBBERIES.—On Monday night, or early on
Tuesday, the office of Mocatta and Co., Water-street,
was entered by false keys, and some postage-stamps, coats,
hats, &c., stolen.—On Wednesday evening, the office of
Thomas Frost and Co., Orano-court, was entered by a
window, and some trifling articles stolen ; and, on the
same evening, the office of Mr. Youd, Lord-street, was
entered and ransacked, but nothing was taken.—On
Friday night, the office of Messrs. Neilson, High-street,
was entered, and a number of postage-stamps, some
wearing apparel, &c., value £lO, stolen. From one office
they took a file of the Morning Chronicle (American) for
two years.

COUNTERFEIT COlN.—Margaret Wheelan and Mar-
garet Curraghan were committed for trial at the assizes.
The case was brought before the court through the in-
strumentality of detective-officers Lloyd, Sale, and Patrick.
The officers, on the previous day, visited a house, at which
the prisoners resided, in Patrick-court, Tatlock-street.
On their errival the two women were found in the act of
coining base money. Upon seeing the officers one of the
prisoners turned a pan, which was on the fire, upside
down, and metal in a fluid state ran through the fire. A
piece of mould, bearing the " tail" impression of half-a-
crown, was also found. One of the prisoners said she
did not reside in the house, but her marriage certificate
was found in a trunk.

LIVERPOOL CHEMISTS' ASSOCIATION.— On Friday,
this society held a pharmaceutical meeting at the Royal
Institution—Mr. Sumner in the chair. Mr. John Prid-
ham, of New York, gave an account of the progress of
pharmacy in the United States during the last ten years.
[lc showed, by several instances, the vast advance made
within the last few ycllrs by the chemists, &c., of the
United States, which was so great that many medicines
formerly imported from this country, they were now able
to prepare in a superior manner themselves; and ex-
pressed his conviction that the trade here had scarcely
altered in one respect within the last 20 years. Mr.
Edwards. at some length, strongly combatted the latter
proposition, instancing the establishment of various pro-
vincial colleges of chemistry, and other evidences of
improvement.
- -

WEST DERBY BOARD OF GUARDIANS.—The weekly
meeting of this body was held on Wednesday. Tenders
were ordered for hot air and washinc, apparatus for the
Fever Hospital. A report was read from" Mr. Brown, the
inspector of schools, of rather an unfavourable character
as regarded the Workhouse Schools; in explanation of
this, some statements were made by the chaplain. A
letter was read, and some conversation ensued, relative to
a complaint of one of the medical officers that his orders
had not been attended to. The committee appointed
thereto submitted their report on the suggested alteration
in the relief districts of Toxteth-park. They recom-
mended certain alterations in the relative duties of the
medical officers, and the following apportionment of the
salaries :—Stephens, £2OO per annum ; Gilmore, £.220 ;
Whittle, £200; Deane, £lOO.

NEW THEORY OF PERSPECTIVE.— On Wednesday,
Mr. Herdman delivered a lecture upon his theory of vision
and perspective, at the Royal Institution, when, consider-
ing the technical character of the subject, there was an
excellent attendance. After an interesting introduction,
he maintained that, until now, perspective had been
thought only to belong to the picture, whereas there was
a perspective of universal nature, independent of art.; and
that the planes and lines with which we are surrounded
were, till now, considered, if carried out to the utmost
extent of thought, to be infinite and undefined in form ;
but they could be demonstrated to he circular in form,
and limited in size, to the radius of the eye to the hori-
zon. He condemned rectilinear perspective, showing by
drawings that objects drawn by its rules increase in size
as they recede from the eye, which was the reverse of t hat
seen in nature. His own views, he contended, had for
their basis nature and fact.

COLLISION OF SHIPS.—In the Admiralty Court, on
Thursday, the followh.g case was heard before Dr. Lu3h-
ington :—The Chimera and the Pickwick, both outward-
bound vessels from the port of Liverpool, came into
collision in the Irish Channel, by which the latter sustained
so much damage that she was abandoned by her crew, but
was afterwards salved by a smack and a steamer, to whom
the court awarded £2,700. On a suit being brought in
this court, the Chimera was found to be the wrong-doers
and consequently condemned in the damage. She has
since been sold, and the proceeds have been found insuffi-
cient to meet the loss incurred by the Pickwi,k. Some
of the seamen belonging to the Chimera applied to the
court for the payment of their waes out of the proceeds
of the ship and freight, which was resisted by the Pickwick,
on the ground that there were no funds to discharge them,
and that they bad a remedy against the owners and the
master.—The learned Judge considered that, on the
principle that parties sustaining loss were entitled to be
reimbursed out of the proceeds of the ship and freight of
the wrong-doer as far as they extended, and that the sea-
men !lad a remedy in personarn, while by the statute the
claim of the .Pickwick was limited to the rein, he was
bound to pronounce against the mariners.

HEALTH COMMITTEE.—On Thursday, at the usual
weekly meeting of this committee, Mr. Ald. Langsdale
occupied the chair; and the other members present were,
Messrs. -Beckwith, Fleming, Nicholson, Johnson, Moss,
Bigham, Robertson Gladstone, Hodson, Henderson, and
Dover. Some conversation took place in reference to the
tearing up by the 'Gas Company of newly-paved streets,
when Mr. Gladstone again contended that the Gas
Company-should lay down mains in all new streets before
they were adopted. This view was generally coincided
in; and it was suggested that a clause might (by consent;)
be introduced into the new sanitary bill giving the
necessary powers. The chairman, deputy-chairman, Mr.
Gladstone, and the borough engineer, were requested to
see the-Gas Company upon the subject.—An application
to macadamize -Seel-street and Colquitt-street gave rise
to a conversation on street paving, in which the old
practice of using bolder-stones was unanimously con-
demned. The engineer observed that if money were
borrowed to pave all the streets at one time with square
sets, the expense would be much lessened, and ultimately
the rate would not amount to more than 6d. in the pound.
The engineer was instructed to prepare estimates of the
cost of different kinds of pavement, and submit any
suggestions he might have to make at a future meeting of
the committee.—The medicel officer of health reported
that the town continued to be unusually healthy for the
season of the.year. During the week ending the 20th
instant, the deaths registered in the parish of Liverpool
were 126, and in the extra-parochial wards 51,—making a
total of 177. This-showed a decrease of 15, as compared
with the previous week; and a decrease of 43, as com-
pared with the corresponding week of the four preceding
years. .Zymotic diseases caused 47 deaths, of which 14
were from scarlatina, fifteen from typhus, eight from
hooping•cough, three from measles, and one from
erysipelas. From diseases of the lungs thedeaths were one
more than in the preceding week, the number being 63,
of which2B were from consumption. Of the total deaths
there were below 15 years of age, 92; between 15 and 60,
71 ; above 60, 14.—0 n the motion of Mr. Beckwith, a
sewer was ordered along Duke-street to Wavertree-lane,
at an estimated cost of £9O.—A suggestion to purchase
small piece of land at the corner of
Everton-road, with a view of improving the street, was
referred to the finance committee.—A report from the
town-clerk was adopted, recommending a cheaper method

'e
-street,

. .
of renewing the mortgage bonds on money lent for
sanitary purposes—that was, by power of attorney.—lt
was agreed to accept the following tenders for cartage
necessary in the borough engineer's department:—Wm.
Jones, Everton ; Wm. Rose, Toxteth-park ; and Richard
Pickering, for Liverpool, north and south.

Docx COMMITTEE.—On Thursday, at the weekly
meeting, Mr. Shand, deputy-chairman, presided ; and
the other members present were—Messrs. • Molyneux,
Brocklebank, Chaloner, Claxton, Malcomson, Royden,
Grcgson, Tobin, Nicol, Lockett,Steele, and Barber.—A.
letter was read from Messrs. Cato, Miller, and Co., sug-
gesting the want of shelves, &c., in the Huskisson Dock
for fixing the shores of vessels, es also of small iron
cranes, &c.—The suggestion having met the approval of
the surveyors, the work was ordered to be done.—The
erection of a lantern was recommended by one of the sub-
committees, at the south-west boundary wall of Prince's
Dock, for the purpose of exhibiting the electric light.—
Mr. Lockett reminded the committee that £5O had been
voted to try the light—or, rather, of what expense its
permanent use might be—and it was then agreed that it
should be placed upon George's Dock Pier. It had been
thought, however. that the place now recommended
would be better. There had been no test in the interval.
The charges hitherto made for using the weighing ma-
chine for timber, itcc., at the Toxteth Dock, were reduced,
the former high tariff having led to its partial disuse.—A
plan was submitted for the erection of a depot at the
south east corner of the Bramley-Moore Dock, for the
purpose of keeping the scales, beams, &c., used at the
northern docks, continually suspended under cover, the
estimated cost being £l2s.—Mr. Robinson stated that
the advantage of keeping them suspended was, that it
might be seen at once if they were in proper condition.—
Referred to the sub-committee of works to carry out.—

It was agreed to accept the tender of Messrs. Jackson
and Smith for adjusting the scales, beams, and weights,
belonging to the dock trustees, the parties finding security
for the due performance of the work.—The receipts at
Runcorn were read, and it appeared that there had been
within the last month an increase of £9, as compared
with the corresponding one of the former period.—A.
letter was read from Messrs. Fbicon and Harvey, solicit

NORTH AMERICAN FISHERIES

In reply to a question from Lord WHARNCLIFFE,

The tixt of MALMESBURY said, in reference to the
North American Fisheries, that the letter of Mr. Web-
ster did not arise from any new construction placed upon
the treaty by Her Majesty's government, nor from the
use of any language offensive to the government of the
United States. He could not account for that letter, but
with this single exception the negociations had tended to
a most satisfactory conclusion. In the present state of
the negociations he must refuse the papers ; but they
were being conducted in a most friendly spirit, and when
be could do so without inconvenience to the public ser-
vice, he would lay the papers on the table.

under an ambiguity. He saw little difference as to the
future between the two resolutions ; that of the Govern-
ment was in some respects the stronger. One part of
Mr. Villiers's resolutions must be considered by the other
party as a bar to concurrence. All the country cared
about was, what Parliament was to do ; it did not care,
and ought n,,t to care, about what were the private opinions
of gentlemen. He wished that some middle course could
be adopted—a resolution which, on the one hand, should
assert in the broadest manner the determination of the
house to follow out the policy it had approved, free from
the objection which prevented the resolutions from being
unanimously agreed to. The original motion would be
either carried or rejected by a very small majority. Sup-
pose it to be rejected, the impression out of doors would
be that the Free-trade party was in a minority in that
house ; and if it should be carried t,y 10 or 20 votes, would
that be a satisfactory result compared with that of a vote
unanimously given, affirming the principle of Free-trade ?
He concluded by suggesting the following amendment as
a compromise between the two :—" That it is the opinion
of this }muse that the improved condition of the country,
and especially of the industrious classes, f§ mainly the re-
sult of recent leg'slation, which has established the princi-
ple of unresta icted competition , and abolished taxes imposed
for purposes of protection, and has thereby diminished the
cost and increased the abundance of the principal articles
of food to the people.—That it is the opinion of this
house, that that policy, firmly maintained and pru-
dently extended, will best enable the industry of the
country to bear its burdens, and will thereby most
surely promote the welfare and contentment of the people.
—That this house will be ready to take into consickration
any measures consistent with those principles which, in
pursuance of her Majesty's gracious speech and recom-
mendation, may be laid before it."

On the motion of Sir E. B. LYTTON the motion was
adjourned till Thursday.

WEDNESDAY, Nov. 24

Returns were ordered connected with the British
Museum. COUNTY ELECTIONS.

On the order of the day for the second reading of the
County Elections Polls Bill, Mr. B. DENISON, assenting
to the limitation of polls in counties to one day, objected
to the interval between the nomination and the poll being
confined to cne day.
Mr. R. PALMER moved that the second reading be
deferred for six months.

Mr. WALPOLE was prepared to consent to the second
reading of the bill, in order that it might be considered
in committee.

- - After some discussion, Sir J. Y. BULLER recommended
Mr. Palmer not to press his motion ; and, in deference
to the feeling of the House, he withdrew his amendment.
Lord R. GROSVENOR replied to certain objections to
the bill, which was read a second time, and at the sug-
gestion of Mr. WA LPOLE, the question of its committal
was deferred until Wednesday next.
