'The Progress of the works at the Crystal Palace at
Sidenham is a matter anon which, we may easily persuade

,st is felt throughout all the
strata of am .ety. The millions who remember the glories
of 1851, and are capable of appreciating the multitudinous
benefits which have flowed from that greatest event in the
modern history of the world, will be only too anxious to
see them reproduced at Sydenham in 1854, surrounded as
they will be with all the charms that nature and art can
lend. With myself, the desire of witnessing the vast and
beautiful pile of iron and glass approach its perfect state,
induced me to pay a visit to the spot, as soon as an im-
provement in the weather promised—to be in the wake of
Royalty perhaps had something to do with it—either
pleasure or profit from the journey. Notwithstanding the
long continuance of adverse weather, the industry of the
thousands engaged upon it has told with surprising effect ;
and now, as week passes after week, the endless beauties
of the place become developed, in grand and rapid succes-
sion. Glancing over the magnificent park, from the lofty
galleries of the edifice, the eye, after having taken in with
avidity the charming panorama of the Surrey hills,
delights to rest upon the gradual unfolding of the
design which is due to the artistic skill of Sir JosEpir
PexTox. Along the entire extent of the finely-undu-
lating slope which leads from the lofty level of the
building, nearly to the level of the London and Brighton
-- '1- stern boundary), we may in our fancy

like it—quoth Mr. SPOONER.
Some of the witnesses wish all public-houses to be closed
on Sundays, adding that they are sure a great majority of
the respectable members of the trade are desirous of such a
consummation, even on the score of having a remission
from business for one day in the week, let alone adding to
the sanctity of the Sabbath. Other witnesses speak
strongly in favour of closing all houses at midnight as on

SatuidUy. My impression is that the trade will not yet be
thrown open—nay that it is further off than it was a year
ago—not so much from regard to the fortunes embarked

as froit a fear of the vicious consequences in a national
point of view. I have peculiar means of knowing this.
The evils arising out of the country beer trade system, too,
have opened the eyes of our legislators ; when they reside
on their estates, as at this season they do—when they have
any—scarce a day passes but some report of iniquity
hatched or performed in the beer-house comes before them
(I speak of rival beer-houses). Taking the question alto-

as it stands, Parliament, perhaps, never had a
more knotty point to settle • and this owing to the diver-
sity of facts and opinions fold before the committee. In
connection with the subject, I may add that the members
of the trade in the metropolis are rather taken "aback"
(sic their own phrase) by the sudden rise of six shillings a
barrel on pale ale. No one can doubt the high respectabi-
lity of such men as Allsopp and Bass ; but the members of
the trade are really crying out upon the advance ; made,
be it remembered, on the plea of dear hops and dear malt.
The retailers argue that the brewers had the advantage of
the cheap years, and ought to continue. But a greater
evil than the rise in the price of pale ale, though nothing
is said about it, is to be found in the enormous price of gin,
which is at this moment 75 per cent. beyond the fair re-

ned by influential men in the trade that it has
been recommended to the licensed victualler to deal direct
for his gin with the rectifier.

All our metropolitan theatres are now in full play ; a
smart new piece, translation and adaptation, of course,
produced at each. CHARLES MATTHEWS, whose taste and
experience surely might have been guarantees against
vulgarity or absurdity, or both, on his stage, tried a rather
hazardous experiment on the opening night, in the intro-
duction of WRIGHT. The piece was dull in the extreme,
and WRIGHT sitting in his own proper person, in the pit,
hissed vehemently. The infection extended, as was the
object of the manager, who rushed on the stage, and, with
well-excited indignation, rated WRIGHT soundly. An ex-
planation followed, and WRIGHT scrambled over the foot-
lights on to the stage, and took his part in the termina-
tion of a piece of nonsense, not applicable to the stage of
the Lyceum. Immense crowds attend Drury-lane each
night to see the horses ; why then should the lessee or the
curators of public taste (?) find fault ? Chacun a son
gout is a time honoured-saying. Be it so.
It is to be hoped that an illustrious personage will cause
enquiry to be made, as regards the truth or falsehood of a
rumour, in dramatie circles, to the effect that many of the
supernumeraries necessary to give breadth and depth to
the raise en scene, of the forthcominc. Court Plays, are to
be composed of divers non-professional ladies and gentle-
men, who wish to enjoy a sight of royalty and the distin-
guished attendants, from the stage. Such ill-judged ar-
rangements I have witnessed even at coronations, where
gentlemen were fain to appear in the tunics of pages, for
no other purpose than that of being in the proximity of
the SOVEREIGN. So also at city feasts, when there was
an extraordinary attraction. Two such sticklers—and
properly so—as CHARLES KEA.N and SAMUEL PHELPS,
surely cannot countenance the irregularity I have mildly
pointed out.

Those industrious individuals who contribute so much
to " the innocent gaiety of nations,"—our light literary
brigade of novelists, magazine writers, &c.,—seem to have
taken up their home quarters for the winter solstice.
There are still two or three out. THACKERAY is in
Paris, but coming over here immediately ; the first num-
ber of his "Newcomes" told—seven thousand. I men-
tioned last week that CHARLES DICKENS was walking on
foot through Italy ; I should have added, Sicily : he is
accompanied by a smart fellow, a son of WILKIE COL-
LINS, the artist. ALFRED BURN'S book has made its
appearance. Smart and chit-chatty. He is severe on
JENNY LIND she "jilted" ALFRED, it may be remem-
bered, and though he got £2,500, he would have gained
six times that amount had she sang at his theatre. He
has a " fling" likewise at the horses at Drary-lane,
which he might have spared, perhaps ; if SHAKSPERE
don't draw—dray horses may. A principle on which the
ex-lessee did not hesitate to exemplify.

MR. RICHARD ANsDEJ has added to his former widely
diffused fame, by gaining the £4O prize at the Birmingham
Porhibition of Paintings.

The Coin Market has already begun to give
way, and must decline still more. One cause of
firmness, which we omitted to notice last week,
was the wet weather, which operated as an obstacle
to autumn sowing. This has, however, been
obviated by the fine dry weather which has pre-
vailed during the last ten days. The high prices
have tended to stimulate -

the cultivation of Wheat,
and it is believed that a greater breadth has been
sown recently than at any previous period in
England.

three to five per cent. all round. The causes which
have brought about this improvement are said to
be the fine weather, the prospect of large importa-
tions of corn, the much more easy state of the

the healthier look of the Eastern embroilment.

CorroN.—The trade during the week has been
very inactive, and prices have experienced a decline
of about id. per lb., particularly on the lower
qualities. This depression is owing to the un-
settled state of affairs in the East, and the large
number of operatives now out on strike. The
Money-market has, however, been easy, and stocks
being short the prices of yarn have been well
maintained, though there is an evident indisposition
to operate beyond immediate requirements. The
average amount taken by the trade during the
week was about 4,000 bales per day, an amount
considerably below the average of ordinary con-
sumption. TO-nay the advices per Canada were
received with more favourable accounts of the
growing crop, and lower prices on the other side..
Notwithstanding-this, the market here was much
firmer, and though we cannot quote higher prices,
those of last week were more readily obtained.
The sales were between 6,000 and 7,000 bales, of
which about 5,000 were to the trade. The follow-
ing is a comparison of present prices with those of
same time last year. It will be seen that, while
inferior qualities are lower, better descriptions com-
mand higher prices :---

PRoDucE.---There is no change yet in the
general inactivity which has prevailed for some
weeks past, but there has been a moderate con-
sumptive inquiry, and stocks in the hands of
the trade are light. To-DAY the demand for
Sugar was chiefly confined to refining descrip-
tions, of which 165 hhds. Demerara sold at 315.6 d.
to 335. 9d., and 40 cases, 600 bags Maceio at 18s.
to 18s. 6d. per cwt. There is nothing to notice in
Molasses, and only a small lot of Demerara Rum
has been taken at previous prices. We have to
report a large business in Tea, nearly the whole
of the cargo, ex Flying Childers, (consisting of
Canton-made Congous,) having been taken by the
trade, at prices ranging from ls. 6d. upwards ;
there have also been further sales of fine Congou,
from 2s. 2d. to 2s. 3d. per lb. In common we
have no change to notice ; the quotation is ls.
with little doing. Of Rice, 600 bags middling
Bengal are reported at 14s. 9d., and 2000 bags
Arracan at 12s. 9d. per cwt. By auction this
morning, 30 tons Campeachy Logwood were sold
at £8 55., and 10 tons red Sanders Wood, with all
faults, at £7 10s. per ton.
TEA.—We give the following from the circular
of Messrs. T. and H. Littledale and Co., dated
sth Nov. :

" Advices from China report a partial stoppage of ship-
ments, and make the export, which by previous accounts
was about 8,000,000 in excess of last year, to be now only
on a par. A strong feeling prevails that, although the
total shipments for the season may not be deficient, sub-
sequent accounts will for a time advise a falling off in the
export. This has given a stimulus to the demand, and
caused quotations to advance."
WooL.---The demand during the past few days
has, upon the whole, been a little more active ; but
still the business of the week has been entirely on
the " hand-to-mouth" principle, buyers acting with
extreme caution, and the few sales made have been
a shade in favour of the buyer. The Imports of
the week are 667 bales, which show a considerable
decrease, as the weekly average for the last ten
Therdhs amounts to 2,346 bales.
TIMBER.---We give the following from the cir-
cular of Messrs. Holme, Slater, and Crook :
_ " The arrivals into the Mersey this month: of Timber
from British North America, are 49 vessels, 33,308 tons,
against 56 vessels, 38,848 tons for the corresponding
period of last year. All the cargoes have sold on arrival

ANNUAL CONCERT Or MRS. SCARISBRICS (LATE MISS
WKITNALL.)—The grand annual concert, given by Mrs.
Scarisbrick, took place in the new Music-hall, Bold-street,
yesterday evening week. The fine hall was filled in all
parts, and presented a pleasing array of beauty and
fashion. The performers were Madame Grisi, Madame
Doria, Madame Dreyfus, Signor Mario, Signor Ciabatta,
and Mr. J. L. Hatton. Mrs. Scarisbrick, in a chaste and
animated style, sang Linley's ballad, " Ida," and also
joined Mr. Scarisbrick in singing the duet, "O'er Shep-
herd's Pipe" and in other pieces. High enthusiasm was
excited by the fine vocalization of Mario, which was in
all respects excellent. Grisi and the other artistes did
their devoirs in their usual able manner.

PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY'S CoNcEaT.—The seventh
concert for the season took place on Tuesday, when Mrs.
Endersohn, Mrs. Lockey, Mr. Lockey, Mr. Hobbs, and
Mr. Henry Phillips sang the solos in "The First Wal-
purgis Night" of Mendelssohn in the first part, and
several glees, madrigals, and songs in the second. Men-
delssohn's highly characteristic and dramatic music was
given well. The second concert takes place on the 22d
inst., at which Madame Viardot Garcia will sing in the
oratorio of " Samson."

delighted audience, every corner of the hall bein
pied. The Mayor (Mr. S. Holme) took the chair,
whom there were on the platform Captain Greig,
Caine, president and treasurer of the institution, &(
Phillips prefaced his entertainment by a dissertation on
music, the delivery of which elicited frequent applause.
He next sang a selection of his popular songs, including
" Poor Jack," " The Arethusa," The Bear Hunt," &c.
THE PRESTOS STRIKE.—The master spinners have

issued an address to show that the demands made upon
them by their hands were unreasonable and exorbitant.
The associated masters intimate that " they cannot hold
out the slightest hope of a resumption of work so long as
the operatives submit themselves to the guidance of their
present leaders, many of whom are strangers in the town,
others of them being mere traders in agitation, and all
having a personal interest in the continuation of a strike."

On Saturday the unemployed held a meeting in the
Orchard, under the presidency of their commander-in-
chief, Mr. George Cowell. The attendance was not so
large as upon many former occasions. The Chairman
criticised the masters' manifesto, charging the authors of
it with misrepresentation and falsehood. A number of
the unemployed have been granted out-door relief in re-
turn for labour on land attached to Preston Workhouse.
It should be added that the conduct of the poverty-stricken
multitude daily roaming the streets continues to be most
exemplary, their whole proceedings being marked by a
strict observance of " peace, law, and order."

THE THEATRE ROYAL has during the past week been
a place of captivating resort to the admirers of dramatic
music, the house having been occupied by an operatic
company of foreign artists, whose combined and individual
powers of execution have secured for them a hearty wel-
come, and a large attendance of enthusiastic admirers.
The company consists of Madame Caradori (prima donna),
Madlle. Zimmerman (seconda donna), Miss F. Huddart
(contralto), Herr Reichardt (primo tenore), and Herr
Formes (primo basso); besides other performers of acknow-
ledged excellence, and a chorus of good training and great
efficiency. The orchestra consists of thirty-four favourite
instruments, conducted with much skill and tact by M.
Anschuez, and it is ably led by Mr. Allwood. All the
appointments of the opera have been attended to with
care, and the style in which the various works have been
put upon the stage deserves very high commendation..
The performances during the past week have been four,
viz.: "Norma," in Italian, twice ; " Der Freischutz," in
German ; and "Lucrezia Borgia," in Italian. The first
named piece being performed on Monday and Friday, and
the others on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively. In
"Der Freischutz," the general performance was excellent,
the Agatha of Caradori being in most respects both pleas-
ing and effective; her singing of the fine aria, which is
rendered in the English version, " Say my heart why
wildly beating." was exceedingly sweet and expressive;
the bridesmaid's song, by Anne (Madlle. Zimmerman),
was thrillingly delightful. Both the character and music
of Max were well rendered by Herr Reichardt ; and as
Caspar, Herr Formes was not merely effective and strik-
ing, his acting and singing were in admirable keeping,
and: both great_ On Thursday, Donizetti's grand opera of
Lucrezia Borgia " was produced, and performed in a
style of great excellence ; the singing and acting of Cara-
dori, in Lucrezia, being artistic and dramatic in a very
high degree. Of Miss F. Huddart's Mafflo Orsini it
would be difficult to speak too highly ; her performance
was impassioned and appropriate, her singing expressive
and correct. The Due Alfonso of Herr Formes was a
fine operatic effort, his voice telling beautifully in the solos
and also in the concerted pieces. The great efforts of this
very able and effective operatic- corps have as yet, how-
ever, been devoted to the splendid opera of " Norma,"
in which the talents and musical acquirements of Madame
Caradori, as Norma, of Madlle: Zimmerman, as Adelgis,
and Herr Formes, as Oroveso, have ample scope, and have
been freely displayed. The first-named lady has a figure
commanding in its aspect, and susceptible of manifesting
great dignity of deportment, dashed in effectiveness, it may
be, by action somewhat more redundant than graceful, yet
withal so full of passionate energy and earnestness as to ap-
proach the sublime. This was the character of both her act-
ing and singing throughout nearly the whole of the second
act, the wild, ringing, and tnmultnary tones of her up-
braiding and defiance imparting a tragic grandeur to the
performance which completer took the audience by sur-
prise, and called forth a mal a propos, but enthusiastic,
encore, to the utter destruction of the dramatic effect of
the scene, and the discomfiture of the continuity of the
music and libretto ; the triumph of Madame Caradori,
although deserved, was thus purchased at far too high a
price. The duet between. Norma and Adelgis, at the
opening of the same act, was also rapturously encored—a
compliment paid to the tender sweetness of expression
infused into the music by Madlle. Zimmerman, but almost
as detrimental to the truthfulness of the scene and inci-
dent, as that to which we have already accorded censure.
In an English drama, what could be conceived more truly
absurd than an encore of the quarrel scene between
" Brutus and Cassius 1" or to insist upon Hamlet reme-
ditating the philosophical soliloquy, " To be, or not to be ?".
Yet, how would either of these be more ridiculous than
the cases we have referred to ? unless, indeed, we are
to suppose that in the one instance the sound conveys
no sense to the understanding, but merely tickles the ear,
a sensation the auditor is desirous of having repeated;
while in the other, having both his ear and understanding
addressed, he readily perceives the preposterousness of
having an incident, however agreeably presented, repro-
duced. The Droves() of Herr Formes was in all respects
admirable. His rendering of the solo parts was as indi-
cative of the finished artist, as it was of the accomplished
musician and the- effective actor ; while in the concerted
pieces, and even in the choruses, his powers were tastefully,
yet tellingly, displayed. The tenor part of Patti° was
well Herr Reichardt, whose voice, with not
afew
supportednaturalb
disqualifications,y nevertheless rendered both
pleasing and valuable by his culture and intuitive good
taste, manifested on most occasions, except in the some-
times seemingly haphazard introduction of his falsetto.
He would do well to reform this, if an accidental vice.
The other performers acquit themselves in a manner most
satisfactory, and the public of Liverpool can hardly hope
to have a better opportunity of listening to operatic music
than that now afforded to them.

AT TILE ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE, Mr. G. V. Brooke
has been repeating the performance of several of his best
characters to good and warmly approving audiences. He
still retains that popularity the prestige of his London
fame has brought with it, and, being an actor of sterling
ability, we trust he will long continue in its enjoyment.

tinues, and there is no likelihood at pres'ent of its termina-
tion. The masters require an unconditional surrender,
otherwise they will not re-open their mills ; for they think
that so long as the present organization and tactics exist
among the operatives they will be liable to great annoyance
and inconvenience. Trade is bad ; coals are scarce, and
dear ; and the masters seem resolved not to re-open their
mills until the hands of all the departments express their
desire to return to work at the low prices. The card-room
operatives are the only parties avowedly on strike. These
carders, whose number is comparatively insignificant, re-
ceive support from other towns, and show an obstinate
spirit ; whilst the great majority of the hands (perhaps
twenty to one) receiving no such relief, are in the greatest
distress, and would thankfully go to work again as they
came out. Hundreds of them are compelled to resort to
begging, and shopkeepers, whose business is greatly suffer-
ing, are asked for alms almost every minute of the day.

THE LATE Da. HYAMS.—By AUstralian letters which
reached Liverpool a few days ago, we have the distressing
intelligence that Dr. Hyams, our late townsman, his wife,
and child, died off the coast of South Australia, within a
few hours of each other, leaving four children to mourn
over their sad bereavement. Under all the circumstances,
this melancholy occurrence is well calculated to excite the
sympathy of those who were, however slightly, acquainted
with the family. Dr. Hyams was extensively known and
much respected in this town, more particularly by those
who had been under his care professionally. In fact his
patients, both public and private, viewed him in the light
of a sympathising friend. As a striking proof of this
assertion, he was, on the eve of his departure for Australia,
presented by the members of the Bold-street Club with a
valuable piece of plate, as a token of their gratitude for
his long and faithful services to the society. This testi-
monial stamps the character of the man, for how very few
club doctors throughout the length and breadth of
Great Britain have been favoured with services of plate
from their patients ! During the time the cholera and
typhus fever raged with so much virulence in this town a
few years ago, this gentleman's duties, as a parochial sur-
geon, were so very onerous and irksome, that his health
began to suffer ; in short, he was never free from bronchitis
afterwards. This complaint ultimately harrassed him so
much, that he came to the resolution of emigrating to a
warmer climate in hopes of prolonging his life. Alas ! his
hopes and his prospects have been frustrated. Dr. Hyams'
talents and acquirements as a medical practitioner were of
a high order. He had seen much practice in Liverpool,
and had profited largely thereby. It is more than probable,
if we may judge from the extent of his business here, that
his efforts would have been crowned with success in Aus-
tralia had his life been spared. He was an extra-licentiate
of the Royal College of Physicians, London, M.R.C.S.,
England, and licentiate of the Apothecaries' Company, &c,
With respect to the deaths and sickness which occurred on
board' the Empire during her passage to Sydney, it is la-
mentable to think that so many lives should have been
sacrificed from scurvy in these enlightened times. Good
vessels, wholesome food, thorough ventilation, and a suffi-
cient supply of anti-scorbutics ought to protect every emi-
grant from the ravages of this complaint. It appears-
front the accounts which have heen received from Sydney,
that th;s ship, and everything connected with her, were
more likely to foster than prevent disease. The science
and vigilance of the medical superintendent were rendered,
in a. great measure, abortive by circumstances over which
he had no controul.

AT THE BANKRUPTCY COURT, yesterday, Mr. W. Rain-
ford, cabinet-maker, Passed his last examination.
COUNTY COURT, YESTERDAY.—The Court met yesterday
at temo'clock, after a recess of a week. None of the cases
possessed any public interest.

Fottarn DROWNED.—On Sunday morning, the body of a
man named Bernard M`Carte, aged 58 years, was taken out
of the Trafalgar Dock. Deceased had been missed on the
previous night, and it was supposed he had lost his footing, and
falleninto the dock in question ; but no one saw him fall in.
TH,II FATAL STABBING CASE IN CHARLES-STREET.—
Yesterday, Thomas Williams, the American seaman con-
nected with this case, was placed, on remand, before the
magistrate. Crimp, the wounded man, being still unable to
attend, Williams was again remanded for another week.
COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION. On Friday, the Rev. S.
Beechey commenced a course of four lectures on the moon
and the tides, illustrated by numerous• dissolving views. The
lecture was listened to with much attention, •by a numerous
auditory. The subject on Friday next will be the theory of
eclipses, to be illustrated by a moveable orrery.
THE DEPARTURE OF THE PILGRIM. FATHERS.—The ex-
hibition of this fine picture, it will be seen, closes on friday.
It is well worthy of a visit; and we understand that, through
the liberality of Messrs. Agnew, its proprietors, it has been
inspected by the scholars of all the Sunday-schools in
Liverpool.

A LADY, on Friday evening, when crossing the river in
the Monks' Ferry-boat, had her pocket picked of a purse,
eontaing a ring and £5.
THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND INSTITUTION has received
a valuable donation of books, presented to the library by
Dr. Fisher, of Great George•street.

MEETING OF THE SHOEMAKEES.—LaSt night, the journey-
men shoemakers of the south district of the town held a meet-
ing, at their club-house, No. is, St. James's-place. A reporter
from this office attended, but was informed that there would
be no room for his services, as the object of the meeting was
simply " to bring in some refractory, member" to the club.
SOCIAL TEA NEETING.—Last night, a public social tea
meeting was held in the reading-room of the Concert-hall,
chiefly composed of parties sympathising in the religious views
of Emanuel Von Swedenborg. The room was filled by a well-
dressed assemblage. Several pieces of music were executed,
and interesting addresses were delivered in the course of the
evening.

THE-GUIDINO STAR, which, sailed from this port on the
27th ult., with about 450 passengers for New York, was
obliged to put back, owing to her having encountered a heavy
gale, which carried an ay her fore and maintopmasts, &c.
but on nearing the Calf of Man she again encountered a head
wind, and therefore put into Belfast Lough on Friday last.
A steam-tug has been despached to bring her to Liverpool;
but it is expected that she will not be damned many days.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—As Jaineseastel, aged 30, was employed
in removing the screw propeller of the steam-ship Persia, in
the Sandon Graving Dock on the 24th of last month, and
while endeavouring to get it out, the propeller suddenly
slipped, and, in doing so, jammed the leg of Castel between
it and the keel of the vessel. He was taken to the Northern
Hospital, where his injuries were attended to. Mortification,
however, set in, and he died on the morning of Saturday last.
SCALDED TO DEATII.—On the 15th of last moi.th a girl,
ten years of age, living with her mother in No. 4 court, Jones-
street, accidentally upset a pot containing boiling coffee, which
was being prepared for breakfast. The boiling liquid scalded
the poor child on the breast, back, and arms very severely.
She was taken to the Southern Hospital, where, after painful
suffering, she expired on the morning of Saturday last.
SUDDEN DEATIL—On Sunday morning, a man, named Ri-
chard Farrel, about 32 years of age, residing in Grenville-
street, died very suddenly. It appears deceased had returned
home perfectly sober from his work on Saturday evening, and
along with his wife went early to bed. In the morning he
awoke at his usual hour, arose and ate a hearty breakfast;
shortly after which he was seized with a severe pain in the
region of the heart, and in a few minutes expired. Deceased
had, it seems, been subject to disease of the heart.

MESSRS. THOMAS'S -APPROACHING CONCERTS.—MeSSrS.
E. W. Thomas and B. R. Isaac's Classical Chamber Concerts,
in the Saloon of the Philharmonic-hall, commence on Thurs-
day evening next, when a choice selection of music, by the
first masters, will be played. We understand that Mr, Tho-
mas is busily engaged in making arrangements for his series
of cheap winter concerts, at the Philharmonic-hall,- His band
will be far more numerous than that of last season, and will
include some of the first instrumentalists in the kingdom.
That charming ballad singer, Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliam, will
be his principal vocalist.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT CHESTER.—On Saturday evening,
Chester, like other places, was celebrating the Gunpowder
Plot Anniversary. About eight o'clock, a little boy threw up
a lighted squib, which fell on the premises of Mr. Maddox,
candle manufacturer. near the Crane, in the neighbourhood
of the Sluice-house. Some time after, the place was dis-
covered to be on fire, and although engines were quickly on
the spot, the flames spread with terrific rapidity from the in-
flammable nature of the stock and materials, and in less than
an hour the place was burnt out. The manufactory was not
insured, the proprietor intending to do so on Saturday morn-
ing, but from some cause or other was induced to put it off
till this week. _ .

NEW niTAL.—In the case of " Greenfield v. Sykes,"
tried at the last Court of Passage, the Court of Queen's
Bench, on Friday, granted a rule to show cause why a
new trial should not be had.

A PLEASING LETTER 6.3 been received by the Work-

FATAL iCCIDENT.—On Saturday, between one and two
O'clock, Moran,
as a bricklayer's labourer, named John re-
sidingin Queen's Court, Naylor-street, was wheeling a bar-
row along a plank leading to a scaffold in connexion with some
warehouses, in the course of being erected at the north side
of Stanley Dock, something took the wheel of the barrow,
causing Moran and it to be precipitated to the ground, from
a height of about 40 feet. By the fall he had severely frac-
tured his ribs, and also his left thigh. He was immediately
conveyed to the Northern Hospital, where he expired in about
two hours after his admission.
ELEGANT PIECE OF FURNITURE.— We have been much
gratified by the inspection of a superb side-board, at the
warehouse of Messrs. Holden and Co., Church-street. The
dimensions of this very beautiful piece of furniture, which is
of choice walnut-wood, are eight feet long by nine feet high.
The table portion and the lower back are finely polished, with
appropriate mouldings. Above the tabular portion is a hand-
some mirror, extending the full length of the side-board, the
frame of which is elaborately and most artistically carved ;
the design being a head of Bacchus for the centre, crowned
with vine wreaths and grapes ; while the frame itself is com-
posed of vine-stalks, fruit, and foliage, with Bacchantes in-
troduced—the effect of the whole being chaste and rich, as
well as elaborately elegant. It has been designed and exe-
cuted entirely on the premises of Messrs. Holden, on whose
establishment it reflects great credit, for a gentleman belong-
ing to Liverpool ; and we. believe the apartment which it is
intended to adorn, is furnished en suite.
CAUTION TO EMIGRANTS.—At the Police-court, on Thur,

day, John Meade and Thomas Simpson, provision-dealers, of
Strand-street were charged with defrauding sonic emigrants
on board the Marco Polo. On Monday Mead went on board
of that vessel, and represented himself as shipping clerk to
Messrs. James Baines and Co. He then introduced himself
to a Mrs. Brooks, and induced her by false representations to
purchase goods from his partner, Simpson, for which .e3l was
charged, their real value being about .115. These goods were
purchased on the representation that, if they were not pur-
chased, Mr. and Mrs. Brooks and family would be half
starved on the passage to Australia. Shortly after, the cir-
cumstances became known to Messrs. Baines, and the police
authorities succeeded in bringing the matter to light, when
the property sold for .esi was found not val-ie for £l5. The
prisoners were remanded, and again brought up on sa,
turday ; after some inquiry, the case was dimmed. .

THE POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY.

,---...._,_,,._

LAST night, at the usual fortnightly meeting of this society,
Mr. DAWSON presided.

Mr. T. W. BAKEa exhibited a mnemonical and rhymthic
tablet, intended to fix on the memory of youth the leading
events of the history of the early English kings. It was
much admired for its uniqueness and ingenuity
Mr. I.Evv, of Manchester, then exhibited as

it% Tachine,

lotion by a foot-crank, and the sewing
thread. A needle placei horizontally

is, when the thriad is caught each

which hooks

and secures it in a manner similar tO ordinary knitting. Mr.
Levy sewed with the machine a variety of fabrics of various
substances, and the ingenious and rapid manner in which the
work was performed elicited the highest approbation. ➢lr.
Levy, in explanation and in answer to questions stated, that
the machine was an American invention, but that it had been
brought to England, patented, and very much improved. It

could put in as many stitches within a given time, from 800
to 1000 a minute, as it would take twenty men to perform. It
could sew, he said, a finer fabric than a lady can, and it was
already used extensively by; Messrs. Nicoll and Co., of
London, in the manufacture of their garments. It could be
wrought by a girl of twelve years of age; and besides, a
straight seam could sew (as he showed) circularly or in any di-
rection. He did not think it would injure tailors, for they would
still have a great deal of finishing to perform, and would
be released mainly from what formed the drudgery of their
business. The cost of each machine was about .30. It had

been introduced into Liverpool only a fortnight ago, and had
been shown to several sail makers. who appeared highly pleased
with its operation. The machine, for sailmaking purposes
and otherwise, was already very extensively used in America.
The ladies here who had seen it, appeared much to approve of
it for the purposes of quilting.
The CHAIRMAN thought it a most ingenious machine; and

Mr. SALT, the Secretary, moved a vote of thanks tollir.
Levy for its exhibition, and said that the society would be
glad to hear of its success. The motion was carried by ac-
clamation. and duly acknowledgej. _ _

It was then announced that-11h. Scott would read a paper
the next evening, and the subject of amalgamation with the
other learned and scientific societies of the town would be
brought under notice.
Mr. BAKER read an extract of a letter from Australia, sug-
gesting a new geological theory as to the gold formation
there.

The Rev. Dr. HUME replied to the views enunciated by the
writer, in the course of which be stated that it was a well
known fact how widely diffused was the precious metal; but
then gold could be bought too dear. He believed that in
some parts of Westmoreland they could get about 19s. worth
of gold, at an expense of working of about 235. 6d. (A laugh.)
The society then adjourned.

DEATH BY DROWNINI3.79B.Saturday evening a bov named

John Hawkins, residing with his parents, in Wellington-road,
was missed about dusk. Search for him having been insti-
tuted, he was found about six o'clock in a pit, near Beresford-
road, quite dead.
APOTHECARIES' HALL.—Amongst those who passed their
examination in medicine, and received certificates to prac-
tise, on Thursday last, were Thomas Booth Brierley, Tat-
tenhall, Cheshire, and William Valentine Bird, of Sea-
combe.

THE KNIFE AGAIN.—Mr. Benson, of Watkinson-street,
about three o'clock on Sunday afternoon, was stabbed by
a man in Greenland-street, with whom he had a quarrel.
He was three times struck in the face with the knife, and
is severely injured.
MAIL FOR AusTßALlA.—Letters for the Marco Polo,
for Australia, will be received at the Post-office until 7,
p.m., to-day, and until 7 30, p.m., by payment of a late fee.
All etters will have to be pre-paid. The Marco Polo will
sail to-morrow.

LIE ARABIA, British and North American Mail steam
ship, Commodore Juctkins, took her departure hence for
New York, on Saturday at noon, with the usual mails, a
full cargo, and 130 passengers, among whom was Mr: John
Bigham, who is proceeding to San Francisco on business
matters.

MR. JAMES GO.RDON BENNETT, editor of the notorioao
New York Herald, has actually had the audacity to apply
for the post of United States minister to Paris, and has,.
of course, been refused. Hence the gross party attacks
made so constantly by the Herald on the government,
and its virtuous abuse of " offiee seekers."
THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER.—The Right
Hon. W. E. Gladstone arrived in Liverpool on Saturday,
with his wife and daughter, from Hawarden Castle, the
seat of Sir Stephen Glynne. He appeared wan and hag-
gard, and proceeded at once to Court Hey, near Huyton,
the seat of his brother, Mr. Robertson Gladstone. Yester-
day he paid a private visit of inspection to St. George's
Hall, and afterwards returned to London; for the purpose
of attendinc, a Cabinet Council.

DIdABOLICA.L OITTEAGE.—On Saturday night, whilst a
female was passing along Upper Hill-street, carrying a
number of sheets, and other articles, some miscreant
threw a quantity of fluid lime in her eyes, the effect of
which. was to deprive her temporarily of sight. The
clothes were forced from the woman's hands, and the thief
or others, escaped. The poor woman suffered dreadfully
for a considerable period, and serious results were for some
time apprehended as to her sight.

JENNY LIND'S DOMESTIC Lips.—Rnmour would have
it, some time ago, that the life of Madame Goldschmidt
was not happy ; that her husband was inconsiderate, reck-
less, and even cruel. This, however, happily, is not the
case ; for a lady who attends the church of the Rev. Mr.
Cox, in Brooklyn, and who is in frequent correspondence
with Madame Goldschmidt, has been assured, by the
latter, that no man in the world could be•a more delicate
and complete pattern of conjugal tenderness, considera-
tion, and affection than her "dear Otto."
A PAM= OF PICKPOCHETS.—Yeaterday, Patrick
Brown, and Ellen Brown, his wife, together with Julia
Brown, a girl about nine years of age, their daughter, and
Daniel Daily, the step-son of Patrick Brown, were placed
before the police magistrate, charged with picking pockets
in Queen-square, on Saturday night, Russell, the detec-
tive officer, said he saw the girl, who was evidently "aided
and assisted by the other prisoners, put her hand into
the pockets of several females who were engaged in making
small purchases, from which she extracted something, and
gave it to the other female prisoner, her mother. He
followed them a short distance, and saw them enter a
public-house, where he apprehended them. On searching
the mother he found on her two purses,. and 17s. Bd.
in money. 3rl`Culloch, another detective officer, stated
that, at an earlier period of the same evening, he saw the
prisoners in Byrom-street, where they insinuated them-
selves into crowds, the elder prisoners screening the little
girl, who handed a shilling to the father ; upon which he
patted her back, and said she was a good girl. The ma-
gistrate remarked that it was a most flagrant case of
wickedness, to encourage a mere child, and that child
own daughter, in such a course. He sentenced the father
and mother to be imprisoned for three months each ;
Daly, a young man about 18 years of age, te:two months'
imprisonment; and the little girl, Julia, was remanded
till to-morrow.

SUSPECTED ATTEMPT AS BURGLARY,--On Sunday
evening, about half-past five, as Russell, the detective
officer, was proceeding up Bold-street, he observed a man
in the act of examining the lock of the door of Mr. Har-
greaves' premises. Russell watched his proceedings, and
saw him joined by another, who also began to scrutinize the
lock. The, two then went round to the back of the pre-
mises, which they narrowly examined, andat which place
they were• joined by a third man. All three now came
round to,the front, and the one whom Russell had first
noticed, made a significant motion with. his hands, and
said to his' companions, " It is to be done in this way,"
and looked up as if to the roof. Russell having by this
time procured assistance advanced on theme when all three
ran away; they were pursued and all. three taken into
custody. On being pursued, the men drop something
which, in. falling sounded like keys, and w ich, on being
picked up proved to be two skeleton keys, and shortly
afterwards five other skeleton keys and a carpenter's chisel
were found under circumstances which left no doubt as to
then-having been dropped by the men who had been ap-
prehended, and who gave their names. as John Thomson,
Michael Welsh, and George Cusack.. They were brought
before the sitting magistrates yesterday, when they denied
alt knowledge of the case as stated,. They were remanded
for a week.

THE NEW COUNCIL.— The first meeting of the new
Council will be held to-morrow, to take into consideration
the following subjects :—The election of Mayor ; the
election of eight persons as aldermen to supply the places
of the undermentioned aldermen who go out of office-
under the Municipal Corporations Acts ; namely, Mr.
Thomas Bold, Mr. James Parker, Mr. Joseph Cooper, Mr.
John Nelson Wood, Mr. JameaProctor, Mr. John Br;nle,y
Moore, Mr. Edmund Molyneux, and Mr. Thomas Chilton
the Mayor's allowance ; the appointment of six members
of the Council to be members of the committee for the
affairs of the estate of the Trustees of the Liverpool Doeks,
upon the vacancies occasioned by the retirement from the
Council, under the provisions of the Municipal Corpora-
tions Act, of Mr. Charles. Turner, Mr. James Holmes Mr.
Edmund Molyneux, Mr, Oliver Holden, Mr. Matthew
Gregson, Mr. James A.. Tobin.—A recommendation of the
Health Committee to increase the salary of Mr. W. L.
Crosby, clerk in the treasurer's-office, Cornwallis-street,
from £lOO to £l2O per annum, the consideration of which
was postponed at the last meeting, and the appointment
of the following committees :—Finance, fifteen ; Watch,
Lighting, Fire-poliee, and fire prevention, eighteen ; Im-
provement, eleven ; Courts of Law, nine ; Markets, nine ;
Education, fifteen; Gaoland House of Correctim, thirteen;
Town-hall Establishment, eleven ; Health Committee,
sixteen ; Gardens, nine ; Church Expenditure, eight ; Ob-
servatory, ten ; Water, thirteen ; Library and Museum,
fourteen ; Hackney-carriage, nine ; Shipbuilding Com-
mittee, ten ; and Baths, nine.
INTERFERENCE OF THE POLICE WITH PUBLICANS.—
Yesterday, Mr. Robert Walker, proprietor of the Man-
sion-house Hotel, Drury-lane, appeared at the Police-court
to complain of the conduct of some officers of the police
force. In the absence of Mr. Mansfield, the stipendiary
magistrate, Mr. Walker presented a written statement,
of which the following is a copy, to Mr. J. H. Turner,
who occupied the bench :

TO MR. MANSFIELD, OR THE SITTING MAGISTRATE.
"Sir,—My business requiring my early attendance is my
apology for giving you a written outline of a circumstance
which occurred yesterday. For two years last past I have
been proprietorof a restaurant in Chapel-street (next door to
the offices of Brown, Shipley, and Co.) From the premises
being required, I have during the past month removed to the
Mansion-house Hotel, Drury-lane. Since I have been in the
business it has been my rule to close entirely on the Sab-
bath. Yesterday morning, after part of the family had gone
my Wife in terms

to

0I called trdom dressing ,
apidly
and rushed down stairs, where I found three men in the
frequently
habiliments of spring-cart drivers, or even worse disguises.
They convinced me they were officers by exhibiting one
dirty card. I admitted their authority, conceiving they had
made a legal entrance, and told them the house was open to
their inspection; but judge my surprise to find, on their de-
parture, that they had gained admission through a window.
As a ratepayer and as a conservator of the law I ask your ad-
