THROWING RUBBISH INTO THE DOCK.—On at the
Police-office, the mate of the " Amelia," lying id Prince's
Dock, appeared to lay an information againit a master Ititnper,
for his well having' thrown a quantity of rubbish in the dock.
The mate stated, that onTilesday morning the men in the 'em-
ploy of the lumper were loading ballast do board a ship next his,
without using the requisite caution to prevent,. it, falling
into the dock. The defendant called several witnesses, who
deposed that no rubbish fell in the-dock, or a very small quail-
tity• Mr. Hall said the defendant must be cautious; he was
liable to a penalty of £5O. However, us the quantity which had
fallen into the dock appeared to be very small, he would fine
him ss. and costs.

Fa Lss Imes isosissEmr.—On Thursday,- one of those cases
which are continually occurring of over-officiousness 'kin the
police, in taking people into custody on suspicion of theft, be-
cause they do not choose to give what these officials think a
satisfactory account of property in their possession, was brought
forward at the Police-office. Dominie Quin, a miller, in the
Ontployment of Mr. Ryans, rice mutter, was charged by
Inspector Wharton, with having in his possession P.vo pieces
of Irish linen. for the possession of which he refused to give,
what seemed to hint (the officer) a satisfactory account, and he
therefore took him into custody, The prisoner said he was
taking the linen home; it was his own, and he had bought it
and paid for it, and so he told the officer. Mr. Hall said the
officer did perfectly right in taking him into custody if he did
not satisfy him where he had got thelinen. If it was his own
he had his own stupidity to blame fur being taken into custody.
It was exceedingly foolish; men were intoxicated and stupid,
and would not satisfy an officers inquiries. The inspector said
the prisoner was quite sober at the time. Mr. Ryan here ad
dressed the bench. He said the prisoner had been in his em-
ployment seven years, and he had never had the slightest cause
for suspicion of his honesty; and he never knew him to he
drunk during that time. He begged respectfully to ask whe-
ther the inspector had not exceeded his duty in incarcerating
his servant during the night, and depriving him of his services,
without taking the trouble of inquiring who he was or what he
was? Mr. Hall.—" How was the officer to know where to
ask?" Prisoner.—" We pissed by master's door in going to
Bridewell, and the officer would not allow me to call on him
and give him (the officer) satisfaction as to my possession of the
linen, but he dragged me along and attempted to strike me
with his stick." The inspector denied that this was the case.
Mr. Ryan stated that the linen was made to the prisoner's or-
der, and that he had himself advanced him a part of the money
to buy it, and the rest he had got out of the Saving's Bank. Mr.
Hall said the officer was right in not letting the prisoner go any'
*here to inquire, he should have taken him with him. He would
not tell the officer anything. Disairge him.
. WuMAN'S TorsGtie..—On Thursday at the Police Office, a
labouring mail named Smith was placed at the bar, charged by
Mr. Evans, of the pariih office, with not supporting his wife.
Mr. Evans stated that the prisoner's wife had applied to the
parish for relief and had had 3s. given to her. The wife stated
that her husband had turned her out of doors and beat her, and
that she had been obliged to go to the parish for relief.
Mr. Hall.—Why did you do this? and why do you refuse to

.
support your wife?
Prisoner.—Wh`v, she's got a tongu6 as no man can stand.
Mr. Hall.—Well, but vou must not beat her and turn her
out of doors because she Was a tongue. '
Prisoner.—lf she'll keep a bridle on her tongue I will not
touch her; and I'm willing to do my best to support her.
Mr. Hall.—But because she cannot keep a bridle on her
tongue you have no right to turn her out of doors and put the
parish to expense. If everybody was to tu-n his wife out that
could not keep a bridle on her tongue, a pretty state society
would be in. (Laughter). [To the wife.] Do you hear? His
ti'sa very fair proposal. lam afraid you are not without fault.
He says if you will give over being a scold, he will give over
beating you, and keep you ?
Wife.—Well, sir, I can't he murdered everyday by him.
Mr. Hall,—He says he will keep his hands off you if you will
give over talking too much. I'll take care he does not " murder"
you.
Prisoner.—lf she'll keep her tongue properly I'll not lay a
hand ou her and do my best to keep her.
Mr. Hall.—You know she must talk a little (a laugh) You
must not hold her too tight. -Well pay the 2s. the parish has
advanced her and go and live quietly together.
Prisoner,-1 have not got 25., but if any gentleman would
walk with me to my place I could get it directly.
Mr. Hall.—Cannot your wife go? You see she can do you
a good turn. Now .speak to her and ask her to go for you
(laughter).
A consultation then took place between the two, over the
bar, to the great amusement of the court; and the wife with
new-born zeal went to fetch the 2s. to obtain his discharge.

ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—EIIen Rowlands, a respectable-
looking young women, was on Friday placed before Mr. Hall,
charged with stealing sundry articles, the property of her mas-
ter, Mr. Pringle, shawl manufacturer, Bold-street. Mr. Prin-.
gle stated that in consequence of suspicions that some things
were missing in the prisoner's department, she had been spoken
to, and the result was that she hail absconded from the ',Ouse on
Monday last. On examination it was found that a muff belong-
ing to Mrs. Pringle, a purse, a pair of boots, and a black coat,
had been taken away. On Thursday, having previously under-
stood that the prisoner was intimate with a person named
Darcey, he went to his house, and finding her there, gave her.
into custody of Glover. the officer. Mr. Pringle brought her
back to his house, where she denied all knowledge of the mis-
sing articles ; but on further search the purse was found, along
with two pawn tickets, in a band box belonging to Darcey's
daughter, which had been left open. One of the tickets was
fur three handkerchiefs, which Pig. Pringle believed to be the
prisoner's, and the othet for the boots. • The coat and the muff
were not found. James Darrey said the prisoner came to his
house on Monday evening. He understood that she had been
discharged from her situation, and he took her in till she had
time to look for anotherplace. Several hooks belonging to Mr.
Pringle were also found on a shelf in Darcey's house, which
the prisoner said had been given to her by a young man in the
shop. Darcey and his daughter declared their entire ignorance
of the prisoner's conduct; and it appeared they had been in-
fluenced merely by friendly feelings towards her. In answer
to. Mr. Hall, Mr. Pringle said that the prisoner came to his
house about six weeks ago, and represented herself to have
been in the service of• a Mrs. Wilson, Wallasey Terrace. A
letter was sent to that lady for a character, but no answer was
returned. Mr. Pringle afterwards spend a day in trying to
find her out, but without success; and at last the prisoner pre-
-tended to go on.the same errand, and returned with a very satis-
factory written character. Mr. Hall remarked that the-se Written
characters were not to be depended on. The prisoner said no-
thing in he'r defence. She was a native of Liverpool, but knew
no person to give her a character, all her relations being dead.
After consulting for some time with Mr. Pringle, Mr. Hall
ordered her.to be remanded

CHARGE OF STEALING A BALE OF COTTON.—OH Saturday,
the mate of the ship Rowena, from Pernambucco, and a man
named James Hall, a tamper on board the vessel, were charged
at the Police-court, with having carried off a bale of cotton
from the ship, with intent to dispose of it for their private ad-
vantage. Three other men,. named 'William Wyse, Barnard 1
.M'Ewen, and Matthew Duffle, all lumpers, were also placed in
the dock, but in .the progress of the examination it appeared
to do with the alleged felony, and they were
na(d)liniiigiutted as witnesses. The case had been remanded
f,,,t
rieloc,iyel
.1 r had.aili i:u,
rsday, when several witnesses were examined. So far
as we could collect from the additional 'particulars which were
stated in court on Thurday, Hall had been met by the officers
on Wednesday morning, taking charge of a cart containing the
bale in question. - On inquiry it was found that he had been •
directed by the mate to take it away for the purpose of selling
it: and in the meantime he was to lodge it in a marine store.
The ground on which the mate claimed the bale was—that it
was surplui cargo, being one above the number entered in the
bills of lading ; and he thought that as he, in common with other
mates,' was liable for any deticency in the cargo, he was entitled
to the surplus. Mr. Yates appeared for the three lumpers who
were subsequently discharged, and Mr. Crewe for the mate and
James Hall. An inquiry of some length took place, in the
Course of which the captain of the vessel, Mr. J. 0. Shankland,'
landing-waiter at the Customs, and the three lumpers referredto, were examined. The captain sail he was unable to find the
cargo-hook, notwithstanding every search, and his conclusion
was, that the :nate, whose neparttnent it was to take charge of
the cargo, had removed it. From the evidence of the other
witnesses it appeared that the mate bad concealed the bale in
the after-hole till Wednesday morning, when in concert with
James Hall, he had it taken away in a cart, before the officers
commenced their inspection. After the bale had been carried
off, the mate congratulated himself on his luck in getting clear
of the duty on the cotton, by eluding the vigilance of the Cus-
lom-house and Dock Police-officers. It had been taken out of
the hold. and placed behind a " hut" on the quay alongside the
vessell. The witness Duffle •was evidently unwilling to give any
evidence in the case, and was sharply reptimanded by Mr. Hall
for his hesitation. After going through the evi .ence, the whole
of which went to prove that the mate and James Hall had ac-
tively superintended the removal of the bale, Mr. Hall ordered
the informations to be taken against the prisoners.
" DRUNK, AND FGR SAFETY."—An individual was placed at
the bar of the Police-court, on Saturday, who looked as though
he had, on the preceding day, been well dressed, and received a
subsequent "good dressing" from some individual who had not

as a valet de chambre, which had spoiled his array.
When pushed to the front of the dock, he presented a most
ludicrous appearance. It was evident that the fumes of the last
night's debauch were yet swimming in his head. His eyes
lotiked fish-like and btood shot, and one of them was set off with
a circlet of deep purple. He had lost his hat and cravat, and
his linen was soiled with dirt and spots of blood. His new
and fashionable coat and vest were in a woeful condition, and
altogether he'formed au excellent, picture of a gentleman in
distress. " NO. 37," said the turnkey, " booked for safety."

I dare say you had, when you left home; but look what a state
you were found in." Prisoner (with a very ghastly look.)
" Well, sir. I have- suffered very much lately. It is but a very

assure you." Mr. Ilall.—" Well, sir. I have discharged You."
Prisoner.—" Oh, ah.t thank you, sir, thank you." Exit pri-

ImratENT THEFT.—A middle-aged female, bearing in her
countenance. the marks of dissipated habits, was, on Saturday,
placed before Mr. Hall, charged with having stolen a new chair.
Police-officer 293, who took the prisoner into-custody, produced
the chair and the owner thereof. The latter stated, that the
prisoner walked very calmly into the shop, looked about her for
a few moments, and at length, appearing to have fixed her re-
gard on this pat Ocular chair, she took it up and walked into the
street. The-owner, struck by the barefaced impudence of the •
act, stood for a moment in silent astonishment. When she went
out at the (loin., she saw the prisoner trotting, at full speed down
the street, with the i-hair upon her. head. She instantly gave
chase and delivered prisoner and property into the hands of the
Policeman. The prisoner, in her defence, said she was an ex-
ceedingly honest woman when she was sober, but. unfortunately,
• she had, on the preceding day, taken too much liquor. She did
tot think, however, that even under the excitement of" torsi-
, ation," as she called it. she cou d have been ghilty of such an'
ai•t of delinquency. She was very certain that some person
Must have given herr-the chair. The tut likeys of Bridewell one
and all declared, that the prisoner was a thief, and had been
committed as such " many a time and oft." She was commit-
ted to the lintise of Correction fur three months. •
Insvt.TEn DIGNITY.—Yesterday, at the police • office, an
Irishman named. Murphy was broglit pp charged with as-
saulting a boy on Sunday afternoon, near the doCks, A police-
man stated that about half past two o'cloek on Sunday after-
noon he was on duty at Prince's Dock basin, when he saw the
Prisoner strike a boy twice. tie went to him and remonstrated
with hint on his conduct, but he behaved so outrageously, being
rather intoxicated, hat be took hint into custody and put him
.in ,Bridewell. The complainant, a lad of about 18 yews of age,
stated that he was walking along the parapet, when the prisoner
turned round and struck him twice and he did not know what
it was for. Prisoner.—" Anal) now ;_ come out o'dhat. Yet
anner i I'll tell how id was: On Sundee aithernoon, I met

during the whole day." Mr. Hall.— Much depends on what
sized glasses they were. Pay ss. for being drunk, or becom-
witted for 3 days to the Borough jail. The prisoner looked
very wrath at this and did not appear as if he Could comprehend
the logic of it.
EICKLLENT REICiEbi !--Yesterday, the captain of a South
American liadel appeared at the Police-office, to make an ap-
plictitiou to Mr. Hall, for a warrant to apprehend one of his
men, who had defrauded him out of a month's wages note. The
captain stated the circumstances as follows :—On the `with of
August last he.sailed for Bahia, and was towed out of the river
bV a steath-boat. He was master of the vessel, and being short
of a hand be engaged a man who was helping him out to go the
run with him,, and made him nut a month's wages note in ad-
vance, and enrolled his name on the ship's articles. The man,
however, some how or other contrived, unobserved, to Slip on
board the steam-boat, and returned to Liverpool, and the note
which had been given to him was presented to the owners and
paid. The man was now in the town, and he wanted a warrant
to apprehend hint for the fraud. Mr. Hall.—lt is a sort of
fraud; but it is a case in which a magistrate cannot interfere.
If he hail received the money and has done nothing for it, you
must take hint to the Court of Requests and get an order fur
the repayment of it. It is a case in which I have no power.—
Complainant. —Why, it isa ease of fraud? Mr. Hall.—There
are mans, cases of fraud in Which a magistrate cannot interfere.
You paid him money for a consideration; he his failed in that
consideration, and Sou ate entitled to the repayment of the
money. Take him to the Cuort, of Requests.
NOVEL APPLICATION.—Yesteiddy at the poliCe office a bull-
frog looking Welsh labourer, annealed before the magistrate
to ask for a summons against his wife for not "lidos" witi) him-
and " p!ackguarding " him. The applicant after the, Usual
show of Welsh stupidity and when at length he bad been made
to understand to which of the thirty or forty persons in the
police coart he was to address himself, said, "my wife wont
corn ant lif wit tne at a house; and she.plackguaris me in efery
way; therefore if yer boners worship pleasis 1 wants a sum-
mons." Mr Hall—" What does site do?" Applicant—"T"!
she plackguarts me efery week; anti give her money efery week
too, but she wont lif wit me." Mr. Hall--" Then von come
to me to make her live with you?" Applicant —" Yes Bah."
Mr. Hall (writing with great coolness as he spoke) " Ah, 1.
can't make her live with von." Applicant (with great heat and
indignation that his particular troubles should not create greater
attention and respect) " Make bur not plackguart me ten."
(His emotion here made him squeeze his hat, which was under
his arm, as flat as if he had sat upon it.) Mr. Hall 1 cannot
prevent her being saucy to you; but if she troables you, or
assaults you I can punish her. I'm afraid I should have great
difficulty to prevent her being saucy to you." The disconcerted
applicant was here told very uucerewoneously to " stand down"
by the attending constable.

GREAT WESTERN STEAM-SHIP.—The '
important Experi-
ment which this fliop vessel is. destined to make will soon be
brought to the test. The Great Western iii now in the Thames,
receiving her engines; she will be ready for sea in March, and
will take her departure from Bristol for, New York early in
April.
PAINTINGS.—Some very fine paintings are on view at Jack's
Coffee House this day. Amongst the collection will be found
many well worthy thel attention of connoisseurs and the lo+ers
of the fine arts.

THE LIVEk THEATRE.—This neat little theatre continues
by its excellent management, and the clever acting of its com-
pany to draw crowded and respectable houses. Mrs. Raymond
is as great and deserved'a favourite as ever. It is no flattery to
say that she is at the same time the most pleasing, clever, and
accomplished actress that any portion of the Liverpool stage
can boast. Mr. Raymond; in his peculiar vein of acting, where
there is a scope for Irish humour, is inimitable; his O'Smirk for
instance, in the " Dumb Lady." The company is further
strengthened by the valuable services of Mr. Hoskins and Mr.
Lee. Mr. Howard, also, is possessed of excellent comic and
most versatile powers. The season bids fair to be a most profit-
able one for the lessee.
THE Roy AMPHITHEATRE.—This theatre continues to fill
well. The amusements are greatly . varied ; and new feats in
the circus, as well as new pieces on the stage, are continually
brought out. The managers endeavour to please all tastes.
Snips AND TONNAGE TO THE EkST.—An official statement
of the number of British ships and their tonnage which cleared
outwards from London, Liverpool, and Bristol, in the last year,
exhibits a decrease of 62 ships, of the tonnage of 20,814 tons, as
compared with the number which sailed in the previous year.
The number of ships which left the three ports, ;list named in
1836 was 433, of the aggregate tonnage of 123,599 tons.
TROOPS FOR CANADA.—We are enabled to supply our read.
ers with information, on which they may implicitly rely, as to
the exact number of additional troops of the Ist Dragoon
Guards, of 50 rank and file each ; four troops of the 7th Hus-
sars, of. 50 rank and file each ; the second battallion of the
Grenadier Guards, consisting of 500 rank and file; the second
battallion of the Coldstream Guards, of 800 rank and file ; six
companies of the 11th Foot, of 100 each; six companies of the
83d Foot, of 100 each; and six companies of the 93d, of 100
each. It will thus appear that- the entire force destined for
Canada, at present; does not exceed 3,900 men.—United Ser-
vice Gazette.

DEPARTURES FOR CANADA:—The undernamed officers, ap-
pointed to a particular service in Catrida. sailed from Liver-
pool for that colony on the Bth inst.'. Lieutenant Cox, Majors
Williams and M' Phail, and Captains de liottenburg and Swan.
The following einhai k on Tuesday next for the same destina-
tion : Lieutenant-COlonels Gascoigne, Nickle, and During,
Major Head, and Captain Jasper Creagh.
THE FaosT.—Early in the week a severe frost set in, which
still continues. All the ponds in the town and the vicinity are
frozen. and the ice is very thick. The canals, however, con-
tinue navizable, ice-boats, being employed to keep them as free
as possible. The weather is intensely cold, an east wind blow
ing with great keenness. On Saturday .afternoon there was a
slight fall of snow, which whitened all the ground in the town
and its vicinity. The sufferings of the poor must he severe, and
ought to excite the charity of the humane to relieve them by
supplies of,lood clothing, and fuel, .

POST-OFFICE REFORM.—Mr. Howland Hill, in a letter ad-
dressed to the Ear; of -Lichfield, the Postmaster-General, thus
describes the main features of his plan of postoffice reform :
"lst. A great diminution in the rate of postage. 23. Increased
speed in the delivery of letters. 3d. More frequent opportuni-
ties for their despatch. In calculating on attaining these bene-
fits without a proportionate diininution in the revenue derived
from the l'ostodice, "depend-Ist. Ott the increase iu the num-
ber of post letters certain to follow a great reduction of postage,
and other improvements; and 2(1. On the result of certain plans
intended to secure great simplification and consequent economy
in the operations (tithe Post•otlice. With a' view to obtain this
simplification I propose—lst. That there should be a uniform
rate of postage according to weight , and 2d. That the payment
should always be in advance. And to rid this mode of payment
of the trouble and risk which it wonid otherwise email on the
senders of letters, as well as for other.important considerations,
I propose that the postage be collected by the sale of stamped
covers. Increased speed in-the delivery of letters will obviously
result from the plan of payment in advance, whereby the time
now spent in collecting the postage will be saved. More fre-
quent opportunity for the despatch of letters, especially in
populous neighbourhoods, w►ll be justified and required by the
increase in the number of letters, and will in turn become a
great source of additional increase."

VALE ROYAL.—The ancient residence' of Lord and Lady
Delamere has been the scene of much gaiety.during the late
festive season. The house has been full of company. The ball
on Thursday, and the Masquerade on Friday were brilliant in
the extreme. A variety of dances wee introduced—the Du-
vernay, Cachouca, nor was the mirth-stirring Sir Roger de
Coverlet forgotten, Mr. St. Albin danced the Cachoucha, and was
encored. The suited rooms were thrown open to the company,
who were entertained in the true style of English Hospitality.
Amongst the company were the Earl and Countess 'of Hils-
borough ; Hon. Miss COtton; •Sir Richard Brooke; Sir
Stephen Glynn ; Mr., Mrs., and Miss Glegg, Withington; Sir
P. and Lady Gray Egerton; Mr. and Mrs Corbett, Daven-
hall ; Mrs. Leigh and Miss Leigh ; Mrs. Mowley ; Mr. Fiance,
Rostock; Mr. Philliniore; Sir IfusSey and Lady Vivian; Mr.
Shakerley ; Mr. Conway Shepley;
Many will scarcely credit, that the Colonel Thompson who
made such a treasonable speech at the Crown and Anchor a
few days since on Canadian affairs, is a Lieutenant•colonel,
unattached, in the British army. Yet it is so. Lord Hill,
however, has it in his power to recommend to the Queen his
removal from a service which he has so disgraced by his
principles and his ltinguage; and we trust her Majesty will
exercise her prerogative of ordering' the erasure of Colonel-
Thompson's name from the artily list, as a prudent warning at
the present time to others inclined to tread in his steps

It is in contemplation to build an hotel at the west end or
London on the most gigantic scale, capable of dining 1,200
persons. Attached will be extensive gardens, with fountains
and jets d'eau for the convenience and pleasure of the frequent-
ers thereof. The building will be erected by a company having
a capital of £lOO,OOO.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET.—The raw sugar market has
been dull this week, owing to the depressed accounts which con-
tinue to be received from London, where the artir:le has relapsed
into the same languid condition it .was: in previous to the revi-
val before the Christmas holidays.- No steady market can be
expected here so long as this state of Things lasts, and which it
is hoped -and believed cannot be' of tone duration.—Nothing

pathies are most predominant, and the genial influence of
" HOME" is felt in the highest degree—more especiall by " My.
young missus," just arrived to spend her vacation at thei" Old
Hall," the most approp►iate present becomes the first subject
of consideration: a merely useful one can afford. no evidenca
of taste, while a present loossessing no claims to utility, shows
a want of judgment. To combine these requisites, we can
hardly suggest a more fitting souvenir than ROWLAND'S Toilet
Articles, the " heAssalt," " KaLynoa," and " Onotsoto,"
which, from their beautifying effeets,on the hair. complexion, and
teeth, are calculated to preserve a grateful recollection of the
