CONFLICT BETWEEN Two POLICEMEN.-011 Tuesday
night two policemen, on duty in Williamson-square, were
called into one of the adjacent cellars to interfere In a dis-
rute between the occupier and one of the frequenters.
One of the men, No. 263, made use of his stick in a man-
ner which his companion, a Scotchman named Mackenzie,
considered unjustifiable, he accordingly remonstrated,
upon which the other officer struck him a severe blow on
the bead, and a fight ensued, which led to the aggressor
being taken into custody.
A MATE SHOT BY HIS CAPTAIN FOR MUTINY.—At
the United States' District Attorney's-office, on the 25th
ult., Capt. Pittman, of the American ship John Ravenal,
from Liverpool, made a voluntary statement respecting a
mutiny that occurred en board that ship, and the shoot-
ing of the mate. It appeared from this statement that,
for disobedience, the mate, a Welshman, named Burn-
side, about thirty years of age, had been disrated, when
he seized the captain by the throat. The crew then mus-
tered, took no part in the mutiny, and said that they had
been treated well. After breakfast the captain was sitting
in the cabin, consulting with the cabin passengers as to
what had best be done. The mate came down, and was
followed by the crew and passengers. He then came in
and said, " Captain Pittman, I have come down on behalf
of the men and passengers to put you in irons, and take
command of the ship." The captain asked if he was in
earnest. The reply was, " Yes, I am, and will show you,"
presenting a pair of handcuffs and seizing the captain by
the wrist. The captain sprang away to his cabin, and
returned with a brace of pistols, met the mate in the
doorway corning on with the irons in his hand. The cap-
tain struck at the hands of the mate which held the irons.
The pistol went off with the blow. tearing off the thumb
and wrist of the mate and the balls entering his body. He
died instantly, and did not speak after the report was
heard. All trouble ceased, and every one became quiet.

PRAISEWORTHY Corcnrcr.—We have frequently been
called upon to record acts of bravery on the part of the
seamen who navigate the Mersey, and it has also been our
pleasing duty to note some of the daring and philanthro-
pic deeds of Capt. Parry. of the steam tender Satellite.
But among the various humane efforts which he and others
have made, to rescue their fellow mortals from a watery
grave, the act of last Thursday merits more than ordinary
mention. On that afternoon, about four o'clock, the Sa-
tellite was leaving the Landing Stage, having on board a
number of gentlemen, among whom was the agent of the
Cunard Company -(C. Mclver, Esq.) As soon as they
had cast off, Capt. Parry saw a man in the act of falling
into the river, from the side of the " Kingston," then in
process of being tugged out of George's dock. Captain
Parry instantly called out to stop the engines of the Sa-
tellite, and in a moment launched. his small boat, into
which he cast himself. Ere he had effected this, the un-
fortunate individual was in the act of sinking. The small
boat having reached the spot where the man fell, Capt.
Parry made an effort to bring him up, although fully six
inches below the surface of the water, and his former ex-
perience in similar critical positions enabled him to adopt
prompt and successful means. After getting hold of the
man, and placing his head in the best position, he brought
him to the top of the water, which was the signal for loud
cheers from those who witnessed the daring feat,—none
being more delighted and gratified than Mr. Mclver
himself, who took the helm of the Satellite in Capt. Par-
ry's absence, We hope the Humane Society will take
same notice of this meritorious deed.
VISIT OF LIVERPOOL ARCHITECTS TO MANCHESTER.—
The members of the Liverpool Architectural and Archaeo-
logical Society. which is principally composed of architects
who make an annual excursion, at the close of each ses-
sion, to some place possessing features of interest to the
profession, paid a visit to Manchester yesterday week.
On their arrival, early in the morning, the excursionists
were met by Mr. Dickson, architect, and Mr. Walker,
engineer, of Manchester. Amongst the principal Liver-
pool architects were Mr. C. Verelst, (late Reed,) presi-
dent of the society ; Mr, J. A, Piston, Mr. J. Hay, Mr.
H. P. Horner, Mr. J. Weightman, Mr. W. Weightman,
Mr. Raffles Brown, Mr, Murray, and Mr. Joseph Boult,
secretary. The excursionists, immediately on their arri-
val, proceeded along Strangeways, and spent some time
in examining the beautifully a rought iron gate and its
piers of the Old Hall. Returning towards the centre of
the town. they examined the exterior of the Cathedral,
and indulged in a somewhat minute criticism. The in-
spection of the interior was interrupted by the more in-
teresting ceremonies going forward at the altar. An offi-
cial rather unceremoniously desired the investigators to
step back, and the remainder of the Cathedral was left
unexamined till the return from Salford, the next place
visited. We may here remark that the Cathedral, as
whole, did not excite that degree 01 admiration which is
generally awarded. The use of old stone in the west
tower, and the careless bonding, were particularly re-
marked upon. The principal attraction in Salford was
the Roman Catholic Cathedral: and the Presbyterian
Chapel was admired as an adaptation of " cheap arthitec-
tore." Strolling back, the old timber house, Smithy
Door, received a passing notice, and the Exchange,
Cheetham College, and Sir Benjamin Heywood's Bank,
were visited. The programme also comprised the Lom.
herdic Church, John Dalton-street ; Royal Institution,
the picture gallery of which was inspected; the Athe-
i nreurn, Bank. Lover Mosley-street ; Cavendish-street
Chapel, Brook-street Chapel, and the Branch Bank of
England. The new warehouses on the route, particularly
, those in Fountain-street, Mosley-street, and Cooper-
street, were much approved, so far as the exterior appear-
ance was concerned. At half- past four o'clock the society
dined together at the Albion Hotel. Mr, Verelst pre-
sided, and the vice chair was occupied by Arr. Dickson.
The day was exceedingly favourable for the visit, and the
gentlemen returned at half-past seven o'clock, expressing
themselves much gratified, especially with the modern
buildings—Manchester possessing, as it was stated, but
few features of archmological interest.—Manchester
Courier.

DISTRICT NEWS.

WIGAN

DREADFUL RIOTS NEAR WIGAN.—During the greater
part of Thursday afternoon crowds continued to assemble
in the neighbourhood of Kerfoot's Row, and gave evident
signs of another row between the Irish Roman Catholics
located there and the Protestants, chiefly colliers. Several
street kilts occurred during the afternoon which were soon
stopped by the police, and it was not until about 8 o'clock
that the affray began to assume a serious appearance, and
it was found necessary to increase the police 'force. From
this time up to 11 o'clock was one continued scene of riot,
the Irish having sallied out armed with spades, pickaxes,
reaping-hooks tied to long poles, hammers, &c., whilst
the other party plied them with sticks and stones until the
whole of the windows of the houses in Kerfoot's Row were
smashed to pieces, and some of them gutted of their fur-
niture. About 9 o'clock the Mayor, the borough magis-
trates, and a number of gentlemen, arrived, and with the
assistance of the police succeeded in clearing the streets.
A little after 12 o'clock, upwards of a hundred persons had
been taken into custody. Two of the police are severely
injured ; but there are not many serious injuries reported
among the belligerents. About twenty minutes after 12
o'clock, three companies of the 50th regiment arrived by
railway from Preston, and were stationed at the Moot and
Town Halls to guard the prisoners. A portion of them
were also marched through the Sc•holes, after which all
remained quiet during the night.—Manchesier Guardian.

TEA PARTY .—A treat was given to the scholars of the

assemhled in Derby-street schools, from which they
walked in procession, with flags, &c.. headed by the
Aughton band, to the pariSh church. The Rev. W. E.
Rawsthorne, the vicar, delivered a very appropriate
address to them, after which they sang two hymns com-
posed for the occasion. From the church they returned
to the schools, where they Partook of tea, buns, &c.
After tea, they resorted to a field belonging to Mr. Jen-
kinson, situated near the Bath-wood. where they spent a
merry evening in playing at cricket, &c.

ANN FINCH, of Little Peel, Blackburn, aged 35 years,
wife of Robert Finch, a bricklayer, hung herself, between
