SINGULAR FREAK OF TWO YOUNG WOMEN
FROM HULL, AND THEIR DISCOVERY IN
LIVERPOOL, IN SAILORS' ATTIRE. FOR THE
PURPOSE OF GOING TO SEA.

Yesterday, much interest and curiosity were excited at
the Parish-office, in Fenwick-street, in this town, by the
discovery that two fine young, and apparently respectable
female servants, latterly from Hull, and in neat sailors'
clothing, had been endeavouring to be engaged in the
mercantile marine, and afterwards in the royal navy. As,
in the latter service, a personal examination by a surgeon,
of candidates, is required, this ordeal, before it was
carried beyond the stripping off of their garments, was the
means of inducing one of them, from a feeling of modesty,
to reveal their sex ; andl they were; accordingly sent to
the Parish-office, so that they might be redeemed from
their rash intention of going to sea, (which they most
strenuous►y prosecuted,) and sent back to their friends.
Both are good looking, bouncing lasses, and both were
dressed in round blue jackets and vests ; one wearing
white twowsers and the other blue, each with a sailor
handkerchief, hat, &e., in the neatest style. Their hair
was cut short, and they appeared 'lice two sprightly
youths bent upon making their fortunes by crossing the
high sea., and delighted with the prospects of the
hazardous line of life they had chosen.

Our reporter was politely introduced to both of them.
in a room at the Parish-office, and found the younger of
the two the more communicative, though she declined to
account for the extraordinary resolution they had taken,
which, however, there is some reason to suppose, origi-
nated in a freak, or, quite as probably, a love affair.
From what we could learn from their own lips, and
especially from the younger, the following is their
history :—They are both the daughters of small farmers,
and both the parents of each are still living. The younger
girl said her name w-ss Caroline Sarah Abbey, and she
was seventeen and a half years of age. Her companion,
named Harriet Palmer, was one year older. Caroline
was a native of Yorkshire, and, at the age of thirteen,
went to service, at Appleton. She then went into the
service of a gentleman in the same county, where she re-
mained for two years. She had met that gentleman to-
day (yesterday), in Liverpool, and be did not recognise
her in her sailor's attire, though lie looked sharply at
her. She then went to service at a gentleman's house in
Sheffield, and was there three years. She afterwards
went to London, to the Temperance Commercial Hotel,
in Well-street, where she acted as housemaid, for a year
and a ha/f. She thence got to Hull, to the Blue Bell Lin,
in the Market-place, where she was employed as bar-
maid. The other girl, Harriet, was head cook at the
same establishment. They became acquainted, and made
up their minds to go to sea. They acted as tonseurs in
cutting off the long portion of each other's hair. The
girl Harriet was born at Barton, in Lincolnshire. She
stated that she had, in her younger days, milked many a
score of cows. She went to service at twelve years of
age; was three years at her first place at Barton, and
afterwards two years at Barrow ; thence back to Barrow,
and from that place to the Blue Bell, at Hull, where she
acted as cook for eight months.

A month after, Caroline came to the house ; she (the
last) suggested going to sea. Both gave notice to leave,
but Caroline's was not entertained, and she left without
her wages, in company with the other. They purchased
their sailor's clothes in Hull, and when dressed in them,
were not recognised even at their lodgings. Their female
apparel they wrapped up and sent home to their mothers.
They paid their fares by rail to Manchester, when, their
money becoming short, they walked from that town. to
this, stopping at Warrington during the night, and arrived
here on Friday. On Saturday, they went together to
several shipping offices, and also to the Sailors' Home, to
obtain berths in a vessel. Promises were made to ship
them in merchant vessels, and they stated their belief
that they would have got away, but that a young man
persuaded them to go on board of a man-of-war, and they
applied at the naval office. (They had on the previous
night slept at a lodging-house, its a bed by themselves,
and in this room also slept two sailors, but their sex was
not discovered. Caroline went to the Prince's Dock on
Saturday, and a captain would have taken her on board,
but as he would not also take Harriet, the agreement did
not come off, as they would not part.)
The commander at the naval office said they were fine
strapping lads. A young man bad offered himself at the
same time, and they were all three sent for physical ex-
amination to Mr. Craig, surgeon. The young man was
examined first in a room by himself. The two girls were
then called in, and required to strip. They both took off
their jackets, but being pressed to go farther in the pro-
cess of disnuding, they confessed their sex. Caroline
had assumed the name of "Tom Jackson," and the other
of " Harry King," and it appeared they used these names
co, s'reently throughout,—for on questioning them, they
called each other " he," and " Tom" and " Harry." 'They
went back to the Sailors' Home; but some intimation of
their sex having got abroad, they were looked after by
Mr. Rowland, of the Parish-office (in the absence of Mr.
Gray), and brought to the Parish-cffi,:e. They both
stated that had not a second doctor (or young man) been
brought in, they would have passed inspection by the
first, and obtained their desire of being enrolled in the
navy, fur which they appeared to be exceedingly inclined,
though, on being reasoned with, they said that, being
found out, they would relinquish their adventure. They
were seen at the Parish-office by several gentlemen from
'Change, who had heard of the circumstance. Harriet is
the elde,t of six children by the same parents, Caroline
out of a family of thirteen brothers and sisters. The
tatter said she had been most kindly treated by a lady of
Yorkshire, who had sent her to school, and that she could
write, draw, play the piano, &c. She also referred to the
great kindness of a brother-in-law.

- It was finally determined at the Parish-office, that they
should both (as they appeared to be respectable) be com-
fortably domiciled last night at the house of Mr. Row-
land, and that they should be provided with female attire,
and sent home to their parents by railway this day. The
probability is, that their sweethearts had gone, or pur-
posed going to sea, and that they bad gone off in seamen's
guise in quest of them.

PRESENTATION.—On Tuesday last, which was the
concluding day of the examination of the young females
instructed at the Girls' School of the Mechanics' Institu-
tion. (Blackburne House,) the pupils presented to their
highly.esteenied teacher, Miss Jones, a valuable gold
chain, as a token of the esteem and respect which they
entertain for her, from her untiring exertions and atten-
ti.,n to their mental improvement and general welfare.

DEATH BY DROWNING.—On Sunday morning the
body of a man named Jchn Wilding, aged about twenty,
was found near Beacon's Gutter, on the north shore. The
deceased had gone into the water to bathe, and getting out
of his depth he was drowned. When the tide retired the
bcdy was left on the strand. The deceased was a servant
in the stables of the brewery belonging to Mr. George
Wright, in Union-street ; and a fellow servant, William
Ashcroft was with him at the water's edge when deceased
went in. but having gone away did not witness the a cci-
dent. The body was found by another person.

CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOLS' ANNIVERSARY.-
The anniversary meeting of the schools connected with
the Established Church will be held on Thursday next,
the 25th instant. The sermon will be preached by the
Rev. Dr. Veil, , High Master of Repton School. It must
b highly gratis} irg to all true friends of the Church of
En2,land to rem; ik the increase in the number of children
reuis ing the int stirnable benefits of a sound scrireural
education in tic principles of our national Church. Nor is
the oreaqion or e to call forth the sympathies of the Friends
of the School alone, but also of all those who are true
lovers of their country. For from the education imparted to
the children,we may have good ground to hope that they will
grow up honest, peaceable, and industrious members of
society. We therefore trust that on such an interesting
occasion, the attendance will prove how deeply the com-
munity at large is interested in the advancement of Scrip-
tural education, and that the collection will be such as to
enable the managers of the various schools to extend and
I advance the great object in which they are engaged.

VISIT OF IBRAHIM PACHA TO LIVERPOOL

About half-past ten o'clock on Friday night, this illustri-
ous personage arrived in Liverpool by train from Manches-
ter,and immediately proceededto the Adelphi lintel, where
apartments hid been ordered for himself and suite. At six
on Saturday morning he enjoyed his favourite hookah for
about half an hour at one of the windows facing Mount-
pleasant, and breakfasted about 7 ; after which he started
in an open landau, with two hnrses and pos'iliun, to the
Brunswick Dock, accompanied by Nabar Effendi, his in-
terpreter, Colonel Bonfort, and Major Dickson. After
inspecting the graving docks end the Brunswick D )ck,
his highness alighted and went on board a vessel lying
there, ike Greenock, with whose appearance and condi-
tion he seemed much pleased. lie drove next to
the Coburg Dock, and viewed, but did not board,
the American steamers, although, we believe, invited.
the Cambria and Hibernia. He next inspected minutely
the Albert Dock Warehouses, &c. After looking at the
Graving Docks, at their southern end, he walked on to
George's Pier, whence he took the view of the river. He
was then driven along the east side of the Prince's,
Waterloo, Victoria, Trafalger and Clarence Docks, and
thence to the New Dock Works at the north end of the
town, where he was met by Mr. Hartley, the Dock Sur-
veyor, who pointed out every object and project of inter-
est in that part of the town.
On his return he was received in the Waterloo road by
the Mayor and the Chairman of the Dock Committee,
Mr. Bramley niore, in the state carriage, by whom he
was accompanied into town, proceeding along Cha-
pel-street, Rumford-street, Castle-street, Lord-street,
Church-street and Ranelagh-street to the Adelphi, where
he took luncheon and again inhaled his Hookah,
It may appear singular, without some explanation, why
his Worship the Mayor, and the Chairman of the Duck
Committee, did not accompany the Pacha in the whole of
the route. The fact is, that they made arrangements to
do so, and arrived at the Adelphi for the purpose, where
they found Major Dickson, whom his highness, in his baste
to gratify his curiosity, had declined to have disturbed.
On finding that the bird had flown, they set out in search
of him, and met him as above described. The object of
his highness appeared to be, exclusively, to inspect the
docks, their working, &c., and to carry home with him
any infortnazion which he could turn to the practical advan-
tage of his people. The public buildings of the town he had
no curiosity to see; and, although on his return to the Adel-
phi, he was waited uponby a deputation from the East India
and China Association, headed by the Deputy-Chairman,
Mr. Thomas Sands, by whom he was induced to visit the
Town Hall, where be seated himself in the ('ouncil
Chamber, the uses of which were explained to him by the
Mayor, and went through the ball-room, &c.; he refused
to go on 'Change, pleading his incognito character and the
strictly private object of his visit.
Atter returning to his Hotel, and partaking of dinner,
the Pacha proceeded with his suite at half-past seven
o'clock to the Clarence Dock, from which they embarked
for Belfast. His Highness's purpose is to examine the
process of the flax and linen manufacture. He intends
also visiting Leeds for the same purpose, previous to his
return to London.

His Highness, we understand, is very free in his man-
ner, with nothing of the courtier in his demeanour,
although dignified and most striking t,) the observer. We
believe be expressed himself in high terms of gratification
with his visit, and with the mode in which he had been
received.

PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT TO LIVERPOOL

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

think it high time that one universal protest
should be made against the " Judges' Lodgings" being-
deemed a fit residence for the Prince Ci•nsort ; more ineli-
gible premises could not have been selected for the purpose
as to locality, which has, of late, deteriorated in respect a•
billy to such an extent that its selection is a positive insult
to his Royal Highness. The only building i❑ town pre-
eminently adapted for his accommodation is our noble
Town-hall, which might be forthwi►h prepared. The
Prince would be more appropriately, and, at the same
time, more honourably entertained there than elsewhere,
for the Town-hall has a palace-like exterior about it,
which ought to be a consideration in every thing apper-
taining to Royalty. While on this subject. Mr. Editor,
an idea has just occurred to me about the Town-hall. I
should like it to be called the Mansion-house, and to be-
come the official residence of the Mayor of Liverpool.
Why should not the Mayor have an official residence? Is
Liverpool such a second-rate town that it is unworthy of
being so distinguished in the person of its Chief Magis-
trate? Our Corporation can afford to allow the Mayor
his state and private carriage. Why not make the allow-
ance unique, and provide him with a mansion? I throw
out the hint, and hope you will take it up, and that the
Corporation will adopt it. I conclude in calling on the
authorities to reconsider their decision as to the residence
to be provided fur Prince Albert on so august an occasion.
I am quite sure the " Judges' Lodgings" ought to he
abandoned ; the house, though a good one, has too private
a character about it, and its locale is altogether excep-
tionable.

I am, Sir, yours most respectfully,
Liverpool, 22nd July, 1846. T. H

8 to 1 agst The Peri colt

This (Tuesday) morning, at a quarter past ten, a fine
iron steamer of 350 tons burthen will be launched from the
ship-building-yard of Messrs. Vernon and Co. She is
intended for Fleetwood.
On Thursday last, a public meeting was held at Run-
corn, when a memor;al was agreed to be pres,mted to the
Postmaster-General, to establish a provincial pest-office
in the town, which, though having eight thousand in-
habitants, is merely a branch of Prestonbrolk post-office,
a village with a population of only four hundred.
CHINESE UMBRELLAS.—A vessel, called the Larpent,
which has arrived at Liverpool, from Shanghae, China,
in addition to an extensive cargo of tea, silku, and other
productions, has brought 100 umbrel'as of Chinese manu-
facture. So singular an importation is remarkable, not
so much for the extent or the value of the articles, as for
the novelty of their supply from that distant country.

THE `TEAM-SHIP WINDSHE.—In our recent account
of this beautiful weamer, we, by mistake, stated that she
was to he employed on the station between this port and
Waterford, whereas she was destined to run between this
port and Belfast. Our statement, we learn, excited some
astonishment amongst parties connected with the Water-
ford Steam Company, who, though they have fine ves-
sels, are naturally in no hurry to find such a competitor
as the Windsor on their line. We should here ware—
having omitted the fact in our account—that the Windsor
is commanded by Captain Davies, formerly of the Ath-
lone, a gentl,man well acquainted with the navigation,
and of great urbanity of mariners. His highness Ibrahim
Pacha, whose visit to this town we notice in another
place, embarked in the Windsor, on Saturday night, for
Brlfast.

EXTRAORDINARY SHOT!—The following account from
an American officer engaged in the recent battles on the
Rio Grande, is highly characteristic of the modesty of the
nation :—" At half-past II o'clock the enemy opened their
batteries, and how awful was the scene; balls flew in every
direction, and the killed and wounded lay on all hands. I
was attached to a squadron of dragoons. I felt perfectly
cool, and in truth minded it no more than eating break-
fast. (!) About 20 minutes after the commencement of
the action, poor Alkjor Ringgold was struck by a six-pound
shot, and mortally wounded :he has since died. I had
lent him my pistols on going into the fight. The shot
struck one holster. 'cut :it and the pistol in Iwo pieces,
cut all the flesh off the upper part of the Major's thigh,
passed through the shoulders of his horse. cut the other
pistol in tiro, and the flesh off the other thigh. (1!) He
fell from his horse and Lieutenant Sherer offered to assist
him ; but he said, ' No, Sir ; let me stay—go on—you
have enough to do—go ahead.' The action lasted about
two hours, and the enemy retired." There is only one addi•
tion, which could have been made to the narration of this
wonderful bullet's exploits. The writer ought to have
said, that ultimately, either the gallant major or himself,
caught, and held it with their teeth.
TERRIFIC THUNDER STORM.—An awful thunder
storm visited Cumberland and Westmorland on Thurs-
day afternoon, lasting with unabated violence fur hours.
The thunder claps were appalling, and the rain fell in
water-spouts; the electric fluid, of the forked description,
darting in igneous streams of various colours at the rate
of eight or ten flashes tier minute. The loss of life and
damage has been frightful and considerable. On the moor
near Shap Beek-gate. in Westmoreland, the wife and
daughter of Benjamin Grinnsdale,
a labourer, were gather-
ing tufts of wool from the fences on Khipe Scar, when the
daughter, a fine young woman, was struck by the electric
fluid and killed on the spot by the side of her mother,
who most fortunately escaped destruction, but was slightly
injured. A man named Hinde, of Hardendale, West-
moreland, was also struck, and is so much ihjured that
but slight hopes are entertained of his recovery. The
family Mr. Thomas Dawson, yeoman, of the village of
Stainton, near Penrith, had a most miraculous escape
from instant destruction. It appears that a thunder bolt
entered the kitchen, and drew the iron crooks out of the
ceiling, on which dried hams were hanging ; it then pro-
ceeded in the direction of the clock, the case of which it
shivered into a hundred pieces, and did other damage, but
the window being open, it escaped ther out, none of the
itima,es, most fortunately, being injured, they at the
time being in another apartment of the house. In a field
near Penrith, eleven sheep and one lamb, the property of
Mr. William Robinson, were killed by the lightning
while lying under a tree, which was shivered to splinters.
Large trees on the estate of Lord Brougham, at Broug-
ham-hall, were struck arid shivered, and so were other
trees at various places. There is little or no doubt that
, the accounts of numerous other fatal and serious calami-
I ties have yet to come to hand.

(BY EXPRESS.)

LONDON CORN EXCH 4N3E.-YESTERDAY

The supply of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, although
rather larger than last week, met a tolerably free sale, at Is.
per. qr. advance upon the rates of this day se'nnight. In free
foreign there was very little doing, but bonded was more in-
quired after than of late, particularly by parties from the coun-
try, without, however, leading to much business.
Barley is held with increased firmness. We raise our quota-
tions for Beans and Peas each 2s per qr. Bonded are held stilt
higher, but the demand is not extensive at the advance. Fine
Oats are fully Is. per quarter dearer, but the out of condition
and light foreign qualities do not participate in this improve-
ment.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET

YE,TERDAY,

Since this day se'nnight, the imports of foreign stock into
the port of London have consisted of 330 oxen and cows, 700
sheep, 200 lambs, and 10 calves from Rotterdam; 30 oxen from
Hamburg, and 108 sheep from Flushing.
To-day we had on offer about 230 foreign beasts, 500 do. of
sheep, 100 do. of lambs, and 5 do. of calves, for the whole of
which, though the quality wes tolerably good, the demand was
in a very sluggish state, and in some instances the quotations
had a downward tendency, without effecting a clearance.
Fresh up this morning, the arrivals of Beasts from our own
grazing districts were seasonably good, but considerably less
than those received on this day se'nnight.
Per Blbs to sink the offal :—Coarse and inferior Beasts 2s 4d

Prince Albert has subscribed £lOO towards the fund

the gallant constructor of the work.

NORTH CII ESIIIRE.—E. D. Davenport. Esq., of Capes-
thorn, has off;red himself a candidate. Mr. Davenport's
father represented Cheshire for nearly a quarter of a cen-
tury.

The London Guardian Society for the protection of
trade held its anniversary on Saturday. Mr. J. Reay. of
this town, was present, and stated the success of the pro-
vincial societies in detecting swindlers and conferring ad-
vantages to persons in trade.
FIRE.—The extensive horse and foot barracks now
erecting on the Harfield road, Bristol, were nearly con-,
sumed by fire on Saturday nieht. The loss to the con-
tractor will, it is said, be nearly £4OOO, besides which the
poor workmen have all lost their tools.
FIYDRIPATEIY.—Dr. Elk, proprietor of a hydropathic
establishment at Petersham, was indicted at the Central
Criminal Court fnr manslaughter in having caused the
death of Mr. Dresser, a patient at his establishment. The
jury found the defendant Dot guilty, and he was immedi-
ately discharged.

KILKENNY ELECTION.—CoIoneI Bryan, of Jenkins-
town. is generally spoken of as a can lidate for the seat va-
cant by the death of Colonel Butler. The gallant colonel,
however, is only a Whig and a Roman Catholic, and will
not do for the popular party at Conciliation Hall. The
Liberator and the Head Pacificator might be satisfied with
him, but not so the Nation and its contributors.

THE SELF-ACCUSED MURDERER AND ROBBER.—Just
before the adjournment of the Central Criminal I:ourt, on
Saturday. William Elenry Norman, who pleaded guilty
last Thurdav, and who put in a paper challenging the
Common Serjeant to play at chess and other games, was
again brought to the bar, when hia manner appeared to
be very inenherent. He was told that the sentence of
seven years' banishment had been rescinded, and a year's
hard labour substituted. The prisoner laughed and left
the court.

EXECUTION OF THREE MEN.—On Friday, Patrick
Hayes, aged 21 years, and Patrick Rice, aged 22, were
executed at Nenagh, for conspiring, to murder the late
Patrick Clarke, Esq. After their bodies were cut down,
William Fogarty, aged 25, underwent the same dread ph-
nislrnent, for shunting at, with intent to kill, Mr.
M`Donald, a steward in the slate quarries in that part of
the county Tipperary. The crowd in front of the gaol was
considerable, but far below the multitudes which have
hitherto flocked into Nenagh on similar c ccasions.
DEATH OF GEORGE LANGTRY, ESQ —lt is our pain-
ful duty to record thedeath of this venerable gentleman—
one of the oldest and most respec•able inhabitants of
this town. The melancholy event hanrened early yester-
day morning, at his residence, Fort-William, near Belfast.
Mr. Langtry was, for many years, well and honourably
known, not only to his fellow-townsmen, but to the whole
mercantile community of Ulster, as one of the leading
merchants of Belfast. He was the first to establish steam
communication between this town and other ports ; and,
throughout a long and exemplary life, of upwards of
eighty years, his active habits and upright character were
alike serviceable to the public and creditable to himself.
The interment will, we understand, take place to_morrow
morning, at Newtownbreda.—Belfast News Letter of
Friday. [The above highly-respected gentleman was
father of Air. George Langtrv, the agent in this town for
the Belfast steam-packets. The funeral was most nume-
rously attended, upwards of eighty carriages following the
remains.]

ATROCIOUS MURDER.—A correspondent of the Dublin
Packet, in a letter dated, " Ballinakill, County Galway,
June 19." details the particulars of a savage murder COM.
milted there. He says, "the victim, named Pateck Hill,
a young man of about 33 years of age, of Drinname, within
about quarter of a mile of the town of Woodford, was a
most harmless, inoffensive person. He held but a few
acres of ground, and was not of that class of people to
incur the ice of midnight legislators, either by looking for
land, demanding a WO price for provisions, &c. I visited
the scene of the tragedy, in company with the serjeant of
police, and I do not exaggerate when I say there are four-
teen wounds, made by a boyonet, or some such instru-
ment, through some of which his bowels are protruding.
The poor wife of deceased states that two men came to the
house, about twelve o'clock, asked for admittance, and
for something to eat. When he opened the door they
told him they wanted to speak to him outside ; he
accompanied them, and a few perches fr, m the door, in a
little boreen, or by-road, they accomplished the tragedy."

THE INFANT SA PPE-W.—This interesting little song-
stress gave a concert on Tuesday evening at the Concert..
hall, and was r,:ceived with such enthusiasm. by a crowded
and respectable company, as to induce her parent to pro-
mise she should visit Liverpool again in about a fortnight.
Mr. H. V. Lewis sang two songs in excellent style, and
Mr. Vinniog sang " Wanted a Governess," amidst rap-
turous applause.
