MASONS' STRIKE IN THE ISLE OP MlN.—The masons
of Ramsey have demanded an advance of 3s. weekly on
their present wages, to commence on the Ist of January,
1854, thereby allowing time to their employers to finish
their present contract work. Should the demand not be
complied with by a guarantee to make the advance at the
time required, we believe that an immediate strike is
contemplated.—Mona's Herald.
ROBBING AN EMPLOYER.—John Goodwin was charged
on Wednesday, at the Police-court, by Mrs. Calvert, who
keeps a toy-warehouse, in Bold-street, with stealing, on
the 21st ult., a quantity of gold and silver, a dozen knives,
some coral beads, and three pairs of bracelets, in all
valued at £7, from her premises. He had been out of the
way since the robbery until his apprehension on Tuesday.
Remanded, to give the police an opportunity to find some
of the property.
SEARCHING SERVANTS' Boxics.—ln a ease heard on
Tuesday, at the County Court, in which a defendant, sum-
moned by his domestic servant, had refused to allow her
to take her box on quitting his employment, his Honour
declared emphatically that a master had no more right to
search a servant's box than a servant had to ransack his
desk, unless, indeed, there were strong grounds for a
suspicion of felony, in which ease, what he did was at his
own risk.

BODY OF A CHILD Fonn-n.—On Tuesday afternoon,
about three o'clock, police-constable Hassett, on duty in
Church-street, Everton, found the body of a newly-born
female child, which was lying in the grave-yard of St.
George's Church, wrapped in white cloth. Mr. George
Kemp, surgeon, was of opinion that the child had been
born alive, but that death had been caused by suffocation,
from pressure upon the mouth, the result of accident or
violence.

SUDDEN DEATH.—On Sanday, last week, Mr. Saville
Roundell, a gentleman far 'advanced in years, died sud-
denly at his house, in Bedford-street South. The deceased,
who was an unmarried 'man, was somewhat singular in
his manners, bid very temperate, and of regular habits.
On the servant girl, as usual, taking up his shaving water,
at eight o'clock on Sanday morning, he made no answer,
and, his door being locked, the inmates of the house 'be-
came alarmed, and a police-officer was called in. The
deceased was fouled dead in bed, death having resulted
from serous apoplexy.
CHANGE RINGING.—On Wednesday week, the Liver-
pool college youths celebratedtheir fifty-third anniversary,
at the Bottr's Head, Drury-lane, the venerable 'change
ringer, Mr. W. Evans, in the chair. There were:present,
Messrs. Churchwardens Hutchison and Came with Mr.
Clarke,thelate churchwarden, and Mr. John Hand, who,
fifty-threeyears ago, conducted the first peal ever rung in
Liverpool. Mr. Mayor, another veteran change ringer,
and several friends and admirers of the art,' iv ere present.
During the evening several tunes and courses were rung
on thehand bells, and glees followed eachloast.
A GOUNTERFEIT BABY.—Daring the -last few cold
nights, a woman has been begging in OXThrd-street, Man-
chester, apparently with a little child, will muffled up in
'hertcloak ; and as she was very importunate, and annoyed
many decent people, a policeman:took her to the police-
station, and it was there found 'that the baby was made of
shavings, wrapped up with rags, into something like an
infantile form. She was taken before the magistrates at
the city police-court ; and as she assured the bench that she
had several real children in the town, and would imme-
diately go back to Liverpodl with them, she was dis-
charged.—Manchester Examiner.
Mn. GEORGE WITHERS, formeily treasurer to the dock
trust, died on Wednesday morning, after a lingering illness
of several months, at the housed his son, Mr. R. Withers,
he Uplands, West Derby. ;Degassed held the office of
dock treasurer for a period of nearly twenty years, having
been appointed in April,lB33. In September or October
last year he resigned his situation, owing to his advanced
age and declining state ,of health. On his retirement the
Dock Committeeoffered'hins the choice of a sum of money,
to be paid over immediately, or a superannuation allow-
ance of £2OO per annumrMr. Withers chose the latter,
and he has therefore onlybeen in the enjoyment of his
pension for a period of -about twelve months. He was
71 years of age.
STEALING a £2O No'rn.—At the Police-court, on Wed-
nesday, Johanna 'Russell, servant with Mr. Terence
M`Camley, of Trueman-street, was charged with stealing
a £2O Bank 'of England mote. Six weeks ago the note
was stolen from alaeked drawer, by some person who had
taken out the drawer above,. and abstracted the note by
thrusting the hand at-the back of the drawer. Nothing
further was hear' cifit until Tuesday evening, when the
prisoner took a £2onote to the house of Mr. Congrieffe,
publican, Trueman‘street, in payment of 7s. 2g., which
she owed him. sMr:Xcengriefre said he could not.change
it then, but 'if she .would come in the morning he would
endeavour to do so. 'lnformation was given to the peilice,
and she was taken' into custody, Mr. reamley said, as
he was no scholar he-could not swear to the note; but he
had receivedit from a' gentleman, who, he thought, would
be able to identify it. Remanded, in order that this ad-
ditional link in thoevidenee might be given.
BLACKMUYIN COMVPI3)IiTION.—The government of the
town of Blackburn has passsed entirely into the'hands of
the Radical 'faction. It was the wont of this (faction' to
decry the,monopoly Of power which they falsely attributed
to the Conservatives. But monopoly is only wrong,-when
it is not in the hands of the " Liberals." We confess that
we never ,willingly apPly the term which we 'have just
quoted to the Radical . party, for a more thoroughly Wide-
ral set never breathed the air of heaven. This* self-styled
"Liberal" party-claims to itself the sole right :of admi-
nistering our local affaire—municipal as well as paeotbial.
It does not signify that considerably more than.one-;half
of the public rates are-paid by Conservatives:; 'the latter
must nat have any voicowhatever in the government ofthe
town. It does not signify that Conservatives notoriously
pay more than one-half the gross amount of wages paid
in Blackburn : they must not even presume to ail( the
suffrages-of their own work-people. It does not signify
that mere than one-half-of the people of Blackburm,iree
members of the Church of England: they must content
themselves with a Town Council composed (excluding the
Aldermen,) of a majority of Romanists and Dissenters--a
majority -Which will, ere long, be still further angmented.
All this is very exclusive and one-sided ; but it is quite in
keeping with the principles of modern " lal,teralism:"—
Blackburn. Standard.
CURIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A POLIOR.OPPIOBR.—
Police-officer 68 (M`Grane) was on Wednesday .charged
by officer 329 with furious driving. The informant statod
that he was on duty in Great George-street on Sunday,
the 6th instant, when he saw the defendant in a white-
chapel, driving at the rate of 12 or 13 mlies an hour.
In his defence, M`Grane said that he and Southwell (a
brother officer) were going to take a jaunt to Prescot,
after they had come off duty on the evening in question,
and that he was not driving at a greater speed than four
or five miles an hour. The charge, he said, had been in
stigated by a malicious feeling en the part of the officer
who had laid the information. He then called witnesses
to prove the easy pace at which the horse was going,
amongst whom was Inspector Campbell, who said that
M`Grane was not going at a greater speed than six or
seven miles an hour. He (the inspector) had noticed the
officers going down the street, and, he remarked to the
officer who had ince laid the information that they were
" cutting it fat." It seems that the,efficer, who did not
appear to be on the most friendly terms with M`Grane,
had thought that this remark would justify him in bring-
ing the charge. the inspector explained, however, that
he only meant that they were. making a gay appearance.
Mr. Mansfield saidile could see no reason-why the charge
had been brought, for it appeared to him that M`Grane
had not been furiously driving, and that ,it was a gross
mistake on the part of 329. Captain Greig,.who had been
called into court to hear the case, said, as it:was very de-
sirable that there should be no dissension amongst the
officers, he should remove 329 to the northern,division.
RuNcome VHSTRY MEETING,— A meeting Ras held in
the National School-room, in Runcorn, on Thursday, which
meeting was called by the following notice :—"‘Notice is
hereby given, that the inhabitants of the township of Run-
corn, in the county of Chester, will assemble in vestry, at
the Parish Church, in Runcorn aforesaid, on Thursday,
the 17th day of November instant, at the hour of 'twelve
o'clock at noon, for the purpose of receiving and consider-
leg the wish of John Johnson, Esq., which will be then
and there submitted to them, to stop up as wholly ramie-
cessary a certain footpath or highway leading from a cer-
tain style in a road or way called the Greenway, in Run-
corn aforesaid, across a field belonging to Geo. Orred, Esq„
and another field belonging to the said John Johnson, Esq;,
and ending at certain steps leading down into a road or
way called the Holloway, also in Runcorn aforesaid, the
said footpath or highway being of the length of 792 yards,
or thereallouts, and of the average breadth of four feet, or
thereabouts, and situate in Runcorn aforesaid." The Rev.
John Bar lay, M.A., vicar, presided. The various clauses
in acts of parliament relating to the matter in hand were
read to the meeting. Mr. John Johnson then stated that,
in consideration of the public giving up the footpath in
question, and in lieu thereof, he would thoroughly repair
the road called the Holloway, leading from Runcorn to
Higher Runcorn—that he would make it, good road ;
also widen it in some parts, as well as take off several cor-
ners in the road, which would shorten the distance forty
yards. The alteration, he said, would remove one of the
greatest nuisances they had in or about Runeoen, which
all must confess the Holloway was at present. Re would
do all this at his own expense, but he wished it to be tho-
roughly understood that he would be the last person in
the world to take a privilege from a working man—nay, if
he had to walk twenty yards further he would not take
it. By making this alteration, lie (Mr. Johnson) would
lose a rental of £7 a year; and if any working man can
prove that he will suffer in the slightest degree by the
alteration, he would at once give it up.—lt was proposed
by Mr. James Carsley, and seconded by Mr. Thomas
Pritchard, " That the proposition made by John Johnson,
Esq., be accepted ; and that leave be given him to stop up
the footpath described in the notice."—An objection was
then made to Mr. Thomas Pritchard, as not being a rate-
payer in the township of Runcorn : the motion was after-
wards seconded by Mr, John Basnett.—An amendment
was moved by Mr. Shaw Brown, and seconded by Mr.
John Bailey, " That this meeting be adjourned until to-
morrow evening, at six o'clock, in order to afford the
working classes an opportunity of giving their opinions
and vote on the occasion?! This amendment was after-
wards withdrawn to make room for the following amend-
ment, which was proposed by Mr. Jonathan Potter and
seconded by Mr. Mather, "That this meeting be ad-
journed until Mr. Johnson's proposition be laid before the
Runcorn Improvement Commissioners." A division took
place, when it appeared that there were—for the amend-
ment, 41; original motion, 54 ; majority, 13. A poll was
instantly demanded by Mr. Simpson, seconded by Mr.
Shaw Brown, and the Vicar adjourned the meeting to the
Town-hall, in Runcorn, on Monday morning. A vote of
thanks to the Vicar was moved by Mr. Whiteway, and
seconded by Mr, Joseph Rigby, (a,' his kind conduct in
the chair.
