POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY.

DEPARTURE OF THE AMERICAN BISHOPS

SHIP ROBBERY.—Frederick Booth was brought before
Edward Cropper, Esq. on a charge of stealing a watch
from the ship Asia now lying in the Prince's Dock. The
prisoner was engaged to go on a trip to London in the
ship, but took an opportunity of leaving with a watch be-
longing to John Cook, a master rigger. Committed to
the sessions.

We have been informed that, in compliance with the
request of the Bishops of Western New York and Mary-
land, the sacrament of the Lord's Supper is to be admi-
nistered in St. Peter's Parish Church to-morrow (Wed-
nesday) morning, at ten o'clock. As the Bishops are to
embark the same day at one o'clock, the proposed service
will be a most solemn and appropriate close of their visit
to this country.

POCKET PlCKlNG.—Catherine Murphy was committed
for one month for picking the pocket of Sarah Parker, in
a public-house in Scotland-road.
ROBBERY IN A BROTHEL.—A prostitute, named Jane
Spence, was placed before the magistrate charged with
robbing a sailor of his watch and 255. The complainant,
it appeared, had been induced to accompany the prisoner
to her lodgings where the robbery was effected. She
was apprehended shortly after with the watch in her
possession. Remanded.

ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—On Tuesday last, Mr. Du-
randu, the respected proprietor of these delightful
grounds, took his benefit, when, notwithstanding the
lateness of the season, from 3,000 to 4,000 persons were
present. This week new ballets will be produced by the
Lauri family ; and Madame Rossini has been engaged to
make her daring ascents on a tight rope above the lake,
encircled in fire. Mr. John Atkins, the pyrotechnist,
appeals to his friends this (Tuesday) evening, on the
occasion of his benefit.

PUBLIC-House ROBBERY.—Two well-dressed persons,
named John Smith and Edward Baines, were brought up
under remand on a charge of stealing a cash-box belong-
ing to Mr. Barnes, publican, Peter's-lane. Some days
ago, it appeared, the prisoners and several other persons
were in the house, and, whilst the girl left the bar to
obtain change, the cash-box was stolen. Mr. Snowball
appeared for Smith, and Mr. Bluck for Baines. Mr.
Bates, one of the detective force, applied for a further
remand, which was opposed by Mr. Snowball, but granted,
and the prisoners were further remanded to Thursday.

THE BUST OF LORD VISCOUNT COMBERMERE, which
was to have been presented on Thursday, by the Masonic
Brotherhood of South Lancashire, will on that day be on
view at the Art Union Rooms of Mr. Isaacs, Castle-
street. The presentation has been postponed a few weeks
in consequence of the lamented death of the Duke of
Wellington. Last week we had an opportunity of in-
specting this beautiful work in the attelier of the artist,
Mr. Macbride, of Russell-street, and wore as much
pleased with its artistic excellence as we were surprised at
its faithful resemblance to the noble lord whom it repre-
sents. it bears the marks of a first-rate work of art, and
will, we are sure, contribute immensely to the progress of
Mr. Macbride, whose rising genius is -
BAZAAR IN AID OF CHURCH EXTENSIO
for the sale of articles of needlework and other fancy
productions, was held during Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday last, at the Lyceum, Bold-street. The object
of this undertaking was to supply funds towards the erec-
tion of a new church at Grange, near Cartmel, a district
much in need of church accommodation. The Countess
of Derby and Mrs. Littledale, the mayoress, patronised
the bazaar. A number of ladies, whose delicacy, so
characteristic of their sex, shrinks from giving a notoriety
to their exertions in a pious cause, superintended the
various stalls, which were laid out with much taste with
an assortment of articles usually exhibited on such oc-
cations, and which were contributed by the fair vendors
and other friends. Mr. Lynn, of the Waterloo, kindly
sent in a quantity of ices and other refreshments. The
bazaar has been in every respect the most successful
undertaking If of the kind ever carried out in Liverpool,
and will realise, after deducting expenses, the sum of £4OO.
On Wednesday a lady, who declined to give her name,
contributed £2O to the fund. In addition to Mr. Lynn,
Mrs. M'Ketrick aud Mrs. Galt contributed confectionery
each day. The floral decorations of the " fancy fair"
were supplied principaly from the conservatories of Mr.
Naylor, of Hooton-hall, Mrs. Gold, of Walton-hall, Mr.
Arkle, of Anfield, Mr. Tyrer, and Mr. Edwards, of Liscard.

ROBBING CHINESE.—A Spaniard, named Domingo
Francisco, was placed before the bench, charged with
stealing a cap belonging to a Chinese sailor, on Saturday
evening. The cap dropped off the sailor's head, which
the prisoner picked up, made off, and sold it for 6d.—
Committed for 14 days.

ROBBING AN EMIGRANT.—The case of Maria Burke
and Sarah Ann Dugdale, noticed in our last week's
journal, for robbing a Welshman of 191. 155., came again
before the court, but there being no further evidence
adduced, they were discharged.
ROBBING AN EMPLOYER.—A boy named Hugh Joseph
Burns was charged with robbing his master, Thomas
Slater, shoemaker, of 15, North John-street, of V. 15s. 4d.
in money. The prisoner and others work on the pre-
mises of the complainant. On Wednesday last the latter
sent a boy to receive an account, and on his return with
the money he placed it in a cupboard in the shop. This
was observed by the prisoner, who sent the boy out to
purchase a cake for him. Dciring the boy's absence the
prisoner secured the money, and on his return went off.
On Saturday he was apprehended, but had then been at
Manchester and spent the money, part of it in the pur-
chase of an overcoat. Mr. Chilton, who appeared for
the prisoner, admitted the theft, but wished the magis-
trate to deal summarily with the case, as it was the pri-
soner's first offence. The magistrate said it was too
serious, and committed the prisoner to the sessions.

ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Catherine Dunn was com-
mitted for two months on a charge of robbing her mistress

of several articles of wearing apparel
