• The- M A YOU,- Don't trust to your notes.- Go on without.

Mr.. Alderman BARCLA Y paused, and then proceeded, still
attentively reading something from the hack of his voting card,
amidst continued applause.—But, sir, I was about to say that,
yonng'aii our uresent Qtieen is, -and short as is the time in
which she has sat on the throne, she has, during that period,
evinced a spirit and understanding far above her years, anti
which endears her in the strangest degree to our affections and
regard. Much of this character may, very possibly be attri-
buted, without any derogation to her merits, to the excellent
examples she
,has always received from her first and best in-
structors, anti, added to that, the very excellent education be-
stowed on tier,- and both acting conjointly •on a temper and
• talents admirably adapted for the situation she is called on to
fill. Looking, therefore, on our Queen, so young, and vet so
steady—so attentive to the duties of her station, and yet so, mix-
ing, with the amusements of the passing hour—so fair in form and
feature, and yet so devoid of all affectation—surelv,sir, it may be
Said no sovereign has ever ascended the throne of these kingdoms
in whose favotir would be More energetically raised the shout of
"Long live the Queen'." (Hear, bear.) • It were an easy
and a pleasant task to dilate on a subject so interesting,. I con-
ceive our .bjett here is less to manifest our own feelings to each
other, than to provide for the means of displaying- them public-
ly,. and of enabling others to do the saline. I shall briefly take
notice of what has occurred on fortner occasions of this descrip-
tion, and them state what I shall tale the liberty of recommend-
ing to the council at- the present how; presuming that it is un-
necessary to urge the Council to come forward on this occasion.
• Although we-are-of opinion that there is a strong feeling out of
doors, which are feelings we entertain, I think, at the same time,
it will be expected that we, as the council of this borough,
should take the lead on this oceasioo, and point out to our fel-
low-townstneu the, path which they, no doubt, will he too eager
to pursue.! On a.recurrence to what took place On the last occa-
sion, the coronation of his Majesty William IV., I find that it
was resolved, that a dutiful and loyal address should he present-
•ed to his Majesty,-and he presented by the Mayor and bailiffS
in person, and that-the Treasurer should pay such stuns as the
Mayor might eipOd. As respects the last point, although no:
man more than myself is aware of the necessity for economy in
the corporation puce; but, at the'saine'titne, as this is an event
which way never recur in the lifetime of any of us, I hope that
it will not be refused, and that the moderate sum I shall ask for
will not be looked on in the light of a wasteftil and ridieulous
expense. What.-that Still) -shall be.- I. have•had some tliffieulty
to determine. My first idea was £5OO on further cousidera-
tion, I ventuee to came £751). And when it is remembered that
this sum is to be placed under your control, who, I am sure, are ,
as rigid on the question of economy as any of the council',
trust this body will believe that this Moderate sum will not he .
expended unnecessarily. Under these circumstances, it is my '
mtention, when I sit down, to move the following resolution
I.—Thar a dutirul and loyal addresS be presented to her
majesty on the occasion of her coronation—that a committee be
appointed to prepare the address, and to submit the same to the
next monthly council, or to a special council, if, in the mean-
while, it be thought necessary to convene one for the occa-
sion; and that the mayor, he requested to proceed to London
at the proper time for the purpose of preSenting the same in
person.

• "2.—That a committee be now appointed to advise and assist
the mayor in determining upon, and carrying into effect, -the
proper measures for-celebrating in Liverpool this great national
event.

" 3. —That an extra ailowanceof £750 be made to the mayor,
to enable him to.defray the necessary expense, which, with the
advice of the commitee, he may be called on to incur in the
celebration of this important occurrence."
With regard, sir, to the mode in which this committee may.
carry out the effect of this resolution, presuming •it to pass, may
have thought it best to say nothing on this occasion. Many
opinions will without doubt he given both within these walls and.
without; but I have cousidered the best time to debate that sub-
ject will be. in committee, to which every member. of this body
will of course-ha-ye access, and where the committee will, have
the advantage of obtaining from their fellow townsmen those
opinions which they are very well qualified to give. I have, sir,
I trust in some s;irt, perfo'rmed the duty I had inidertaken. Had
it fallen into better hands, it would have been better performed ;
but at the same time 1 will say it could not have fallen into the
hands of any person more alive than myself to the importance.
of the case under discussion, more anxious to do justice to its.
merits, or more anxious that the body to which I have the honour
to belong, should evince in the strongest manner in their power
that loyalty and affection, which I am convinced they bear to
her excellent Majesty, Queen:Victinia. ( Hear, hear.)
• Mr. Councillor HOUGoroN briefly seconded the motion.
The M Avow rose. and said,..that should it he their pleasure to
place a sum of money at his disposal, he should consider it in
the hands of the committee they should ;Appoint to assist him,
and he himself-only ;is an individual member of that committee,
and use it for the purpose, of carrying their wishes and the wishes
of the town at large into effect. He would take that opportunity
to state, that be intended to do something himself atter the co-
ronation, which he could have wished to have done earlier ;• his
intention was to get together the children if the various schools,
or as many as 'possible, in the Amphitheatre, and give them a
lecture on
.geography—(a lecture) —aided by a magic lantern,.
to give them Something to cause them to recollect the event.
Mr. Councillor HoocsoN asked what was the expense to
which My.,,Barelayhad alluded. lie concurred in what he hed•
said about. their snowing some mark or respect suitable to the
occasion and character of the town, but the sum proposed struck
him as being a sum, rather inadequate; for if Liverpool would,
and he trusted it would, express its loyalty,. he hoped it would
be in a -Way corresponding with its-situation. Economyon stich
an oceasion. was, not: the qoestion, but the-national splendour;,,
there was no occasion to have a coronation except for an im-
posiog•speataele. • They Wad expended sonie hinulreils to employ
-a few men with! wigs. respecting the Fiddler's Ferry, and
cost would beahouf E.3O(X); and if they had then entrusted the
power as to that expenditure to the law adviser, they could
surely lea'velhe expenditure 0:1 this occasion to their chief ma--
giNtrate. He would therefore recommend that no sum be named,
but that.it be left. to the discretion of the chief magistrate. He
did not-Wish.to prase an amendment.
Mr. Cooncillor,PLATT expressed his • concurrence with what
had falleu froin,•M and he thought a eerie blanche
should -be giYen to the mayor.
.Mr-. Councillor Wnionst.v,y agreed as to the propriety of send-
ing an address to the (peed, and also as to the appointment oft, a

in to aid it ; and it would be much better if the mayor were to
intimate his pleasure to the high sheriff to take the head of a
procession of merchants, bankers, trades, schools, &c., and he
had no doubt they would then have a procession worthy of this
great town. And at its terminus they might dine 12,000 er
15,000 artizans, and have a distribution-of tickets through the
mayor. This was certainly on an extensive scale, but he thought
it was only worthy of the town, .and they world 'find that the
necessary subscriptions would be raised. That would be passing
the day in a manner congenial with the wishes and views of many
of the inhabitants of the town ; and in the evening they might
terminate the day with a splendid display of fireworks. The
children also might • have a procession. As to the £750 he
thought the sum quite unworthy of the occasiOn. He did not
say it was unworthy of the council, but it was not sufficient to
carry the wishes of the town into effect. • Instead of £750 he
thought there shOuld he several thousands. ("Oh, oh, and
".town, town," from Mr. Jordan.)
Mr. Councillor JORDAN said he quite agreed with Mr.

The Al v OR.—What were the expences on the former occa-
sions.

Mr. Alderman BA ncLkv explained that at the last corona-
tion the expenses,-Weretritling. kdeputation waited upon the
mayor of that day, to call a meeting on the subject, but he (lid
not clinply with the request. and the expenditure was not so
great as at the coronation of 'George IV. The expenses then
incurred were upwards of £2300, £.1500 orwhich was given to
the charities, and. the rest was expended in various ways.
(Wear, hear.)

. , .
Mr. Councillor StitEL.—Charities! AIL some sense in that.
Mr. Councillor Bot.foisithought £750 a very proper sum to
be fixed by thafetitncil: •If it were larger it would put a stop
to private exertions. He would suggest a. private subscription
in the different wards, and that they should commence.iu that
council. ' l— • '

Mr. 'Alderman
..Buowisi said. it had been shown that at the.
coronation of George IV. £2.300 bad been expended, £l5OO of
which had been 7iven•to the charitieS. Now he had been
anxious to bring before the council the necessity olcontributing
to the charities during the winter, but now a fair tmpottunitv
arose
.to do it. He hoped the steps would be taken as at the
coronation of George IV., and that they would.keep as near.
that expenditure as they could. He thought having a large
dinner wthild'etintle many of the lower orders in the.arrange-
metris, and pievent I hem enjoying the day. (A laugh.)

(Hear; hear) He di&not like to walk in puicession•himself,-
and they would n'ot have the .high sheriff here, for. he was in
London, and' was likely to remain there until after the-corona-
tion.. Large dinaerS, to O, and the roastin of oxen, were at-
tended with a great deal of trouble,•and they would. thereby.de-
prive many of the lower orders of the pleasures of the day. But
if the tradesmen• Wighett to do something; let them give their
own men dinners, and celebrate it in that way.• ,As for himself,
he Intended" to keep his pockets buttoned, for he did not see
why he should subamilte for a coronation. He, however, might-
subscribe if he were asked, for he thought £750 inadequate: •
Mr. Councillor tioi.T.said if there was so much overflowing
loyalty in •the towittet the fund • required -come out or private,
not out of the public purse. He thought £750 sufficient. -
Mr. Councillor ,BLACKBURN• concurred in the view taken by
Mr. Barciay. He thought £750 would answer every purpose
For a display teethe part of the council, and it would not•prt.vent
a display of the feelings of private. individuals. If the council
Would expend it in some way that would be of public interest
h&writild'agree to the £750, 'and leave the further discussion to
the committee. ' •

The M A volt thought, that the duties of the chief magistrate
lay at home, and if it Were consistent with his duty, he would
rather stay at home than go to London.with the address.
Several members of the council stated that it was necessary
the mayor should he •the bearer of the address.
Mr. Alderman 13aowN moved that, iustead of £750 the sum
should he £2OOO.

Mr. hcssEl.ii, inquired whether the address to be presented
would he the address of the council only, or of the.town. Hav-
ing been, informed that it shall be the address of the- council,
he said it appeared then to him that it would be a good termina-
tion of the procession to march to Clayton-square, and form a
large meeting, over.which the mayor should preside, and• that
an address should be then agreed to, as an address of the tow❑
at hrge.

•
The MAYOR said such a proposition milk emanate from the
town.

The third resolution voting the sum of £750 occasioned some
further discussion.. ,

M r. Councillor EA TZ LE said it would be better to do the thing
well, or not At and he inquired whether the expense of the
mayor's journey to London would be paid out of that sum ?

display of fire-works, which might be :t gratification to the pub-
lic, without trouble or difficulty, or danger of drunkenness;
and he thought that £759 would he sufficient.
Mr. Councillor Cour:AN Observed, if £750 was the whole sum
to be expended in the town, he would agree that it Would be in-
adequate; but .he thought it ample in the present state of the
corporatiottfunds, mid, especially if they took into consideration
the unpleasant reminiscences of the last few months, when they
were desirous of relieving the sufferings of the poor, and could
' not. Under those circumstances, he thought they ought nut
to be too extravagant in their demonstrations. He thought
£750, as the subscription of the, corporation of Liverpool, with
subscriptions out of doors of merchants, bankers, and others,
would be sufficient; and, it Mr. Walmsley's suggestion were
acted up to, they would have power to add tot he committee
from others out of doors, and he had no doubt a sufficient sum
might be raised to give a splendid exhibition. He liked to see
the poor participate in such festivities, and if dinners were pro-
vided on a large scale they could be dined for 2s 6d. each, in-
eluding a quart of rife per. man. in marquees or tents—he liked
to see the poor enjoy such occasions in that John Bull manner,
with good dinners. (Hear.) Perhaps it was not practicable,
but that would come under the consideration of the committee ;
and, as they contemplated *subscriptions. *Out of doors, £750
would be iimple.
Mr. Alderman 1-11.,(3 H Houtstev opposed so great tin expendi-
ture of money on occasions of that nature. He thought the
present advanced state of knowledge-gave them -other ways of
showing their loyalty than by processions and politic dinners.
He .thought they could show their loyalty in a more rational
manner ; but, it' it were the general wish, he would not set
himself against the proposed display.; , but he thitught 1:75()
sufficient.., He did not s.-,e (hat Op/ ',vamp have occasion to, go
to great expense, for processions fdrilliAPeost mnch—it was the
uuMbers that attended that indicated•their loyalty.
Dr. CARSON thought £7so‘4le4:adequate. They had refused 1
to apply to parliament far poWersto erect an observatory, which 1
would be of general utility; auttas•that was refused he was now
disposed to do nothing at all. He thought they could nut, alma'
their loyalty better than by proMoting sobriety and the good of
society. They all knew now that races had been brought near
this town and that immorality had increased in every succeeding
year, and the day of the:coronation,.he feared, would be a day
• .
similar to a race meeting. With respect to the circuthstance of
a coronation, it was nut absolutely necessary ; the acts of a
king Or queen were equally as good before as alter It was
a remnant 01 feudalism or worse—of- heathenism, and it was of
no utility, and, be therefore hoped it would be left to individuals
to do what they liked with- it, that the -corpuratiou would Put
spend its money on such an occasion.
Mr. Councillor JoattAti thought £750 cinite• sufficient, for it
would only be a nucleus. When-the proceedings of that day
went outlo the public, the Mayor Would, no doubt, hive a re-
quisition for a town's -meet tug to act in conjunction with the •
council, and conduct the day in a splendid manner. ..- •
Mr. Councillor Ett,AC Kll URN thought, whether the -comm,ittee
had power to associate with themselves others to raise subscrip-
tions in addition to that sum or not not, the council should
state its wishes in that-respect - *
The Towx-ctkak, said there could be no diffiillty in- the.
committee communicating with others, but. it was Out of the
question that the Committee could delegate the powerto dispose
of funds given them by the'corporation to others. •
Mr. Alderman Bilowta thought they could nat more properly
show their esteem to her Majesty than by contributing to• the
relief of the:necessitous, and therefore he should• propose that
£750 be given to the Mayor to defray the necessary expenses on.
the (lay of the eorrinatioti, and a* fur titer sow of £1250 to be di-
vided amongst the public charities of the town.
/VII% Councillor PLATT seconded the motion. •

The ToWN-C-LERK thought there were.legal difficulties in the
way of such an appropriation of the corporate funds. lie was
of opinion that £750 might be granted; for, by the sSth section
or the -municipal act the council was empowered to make to the
Mayor an allowance, as to a police magistrate, 'reorder, or town-
clerk. Now, the council on the 9th ofNoveinher, truflovv Mg up
the course of the year but one before; made the Mayor an allow-
ante for the expenses of the mayoralty, part of which was under
the control of a committee. -When that was first proposed, he
had to consider how far that.waswarranted; and he thoughtthey
could go so far, for they had umwerto give the mayor a salary, or
make him an allowance, and to give him no mire than the ex-
penses of his Mayoralty was rather dOing less than their powers
warranted than exceeding them. •AB appoilittneots of state—
even the speaker himself—provision was Made lot the necessary
expen:Ue which the•dignity of the office threw on them. It went
to a still greater extent, for they found that in the Admiralty
there was provision of table money. It was a mistake, therefore-,
to iteat it as an allowance for eating and drinking,. and they had
allowed rather less than inure than they had the power to grant.
The sum now proposed was an extraordinary allowance for an
extra., dina ry. occasion ;‘ and, on the same ground that they had
the right to fix the allowatice to the Mayor, they had the right
to console. the extraordinary expense which woold be thrown
upon hint 'at the approaching coronation in supporting the
dignity of hiS office. It was now proposed that £1250. should
be granted for the purposes of the charities; but he 'could not
see how the public charities could furnish calls upon the mayor
on this occasion. lie (the town-clerk) could go the- length of
admitting that the mayor has a dignity to maintain on this oc-
casion; find he would: incur expense for that purpose, but he
could net goheyond that—he could not say that the mayor was
called open to subscribe to the charities. But the proposition
of Mr. Brown would give the money to the mayor for that
ex-
press purpose, and make him merely the organ. The time
might come, and he believed it Was not lam- ditto nt, when they
might find themselves in that state that would give the council
a su '-plus which would enable them to contribute annually to
the charities; and he was .ot opinion, that if the money were
appropriated in a limited way, and without ostentation, the effect
would bean produce great private benevoleece, from which the
public would derive great benefit. • At present he was not-pre-•
pared to go. into t her; but from inquiries which he had made at
the office of the treasurer, he
.had ascertained that-they had a

occasion.

tion between the application of money as proposed by one party, I
and the infinitely more conunendable application of it as pro- I

of the mayor for the purposes'ofthe coronation, why not also
for the purposes of the. charities. Now, with regard to :tic.
Walmsley's prope4ition to raise voluntary contributions, it had
his fullest and warmest concurrence, fur every man should act
as he thought proper on such an occasion. But in giving it his
concurrence, he did nut mean to give it anything else. He
thought it was a piece of pageantry that could be dispensed
with. Hethought it no more a proof of loyalty than hiscotintry-
men getting blind drunk on St.• Patrick's day was a proof of
patriotism.
Mr. Alderman BROWN proposed that instead of £750. the snm
should he £2OOO.
The Towra--GLRRK thought the legal difficulty he had men-
tioned would still exist.
Some other observations fell from several other members, and
Mr. Councillor HODGSON said, when he had spoken in-the •
early part of the discussion, he thought the expenditure was
proposed for the coronation in London; he. hadno-idea 'I hat it
was a little petty coronation in Liverpool. (Laughter.)
objected to any sum being expended fin such a purpose.
Mr. Councillor EARLE, too, said when lie made his 'remark
on the shabbiness of the sum, he had made the saute mist ake as
Mr. Hodgson. He said it was agreed on all sides that •it was
child's play, and he. hoped it would be confined to what would
amuse children—fire-works.
Mr. Alderman BROWN withdrew his amendment, and the re-
solution was about to he again put to the meeting, when
Mr. Councillor FIOOON rose wnd moved that, as the ex-
.
pease was
.altogether unnecessary, it be not allowed.
Dr. CA RSoN seconded the amendment.
The MA le ()it submitted hew fur the amendment, if it were
carried, would agree with the resolutions that had already been
adopted. ( Laughter.)
Mr. COUncillor BLACKBURN thought if the amendment were
put they must rescind the resolutions thl?y•had just carried. A
most Marvellous change of opinion haul taken place in the
minds of some of the :nfembers present. Some had at first
thought that no expense could be sufficient—now that any ex-
pense would he too much.. He could. not see hew there could
be such a delusion after the explanation- of Mt. Barclay. He
Congratulated his-friend Mr. Shiel on the effett of 'his speech—
quite a second conversion. (A laugh.)
Some conversation- ensued on this amendment, and the mover
and seconder then withdrew it, ekpresSing themselves satisfied
with having put on record their oppoSition to the grant.' The
resolution granting £750 was accordingly carried, and a com-
mittee was appointed to devise the means for its disptisal. Mr.
Shell's name was on time list proposed; but it was withdrawn at
his request, as he said he could not consistently act on that com-
mittee.,

The TowN-cLEttx entered into some explanation resreCting
the expenditure occasioned by theopposition to this bill, in con-
sequence of some observations made at an early period of the day,'
which he said would not exceed LUX/o,one third of which would
be defrayed by the dock estate. And he justified the proceedings
taken, which were not an opposition to the project, but merely
instituted for the protection of the navigation of the Mersey.

- Mr..: Alderman SHELL lose to move `• That the Town-clerk
be instructed to inquire.intothecircumstauces,relating to a sum
of £1,700 paid out of the corporation funds to the trustees of
St. James's Centetery, on theJst of June, 1.835, and to report
to this council whether the conditions on which that sum Was so
paid have been complied with by the trustees—whether the
management of the. trust has been conducted according to the
previsions.of the act relating thereto—and. to suggest if any
and what measures ought to be adopted for, the security, of the
said funds." Mr. Shell spoke at some length, and in the course
of his. remarks, he detailed the. history, of the cemetery. ac-
cusing its managers of gross mismanagement, whereby they
had involVed thoSe who had advanced money in the under-
taking in considerable debt along with themselves, and had
then btirrOwed 'money from the corporation.and paid them-

pioved a previous conviction against Mr. Chillcott. Mr. Chill-

was at Mr. Chilleott's house on the night in question. Before
he proceeded with hiS evidence, he requested Mr. Hall to allow
him to state why he had called there. There was an action
pending against Mr. Chillcott, in which he was engaged as
attorney torthat gentleman. The case was on the point of

DA, AGE T() A VESsFL BY A STEAMER:—The proprietors
of lhe.B,bliingtvn, one of the steam-boats plying to and it out
the Rock Ferry, appeared at the Police-office, nn TUesila, by
their solicitor,. Mr. Moss, in answer to a summons procured
. against them by the own( rs of the brig Clyde. The gentleman
who represented the owners of the Clyde, stated, that she was
,• lyin-lf iu the stream, and was about to enter one of the docks,
When? tie steamer Bebbington ran against her bows and did
. much 'damage. 'The pilot who was in 'charge of the Clyde was
called. lie stated, that the latter vessel was within a reasona-
ble distance•of the pierhead, With very little way-upon her—not
More than one knot per• hour—the tide running abiiut two knots.
The. Bestiington left the pier and attempted to go a-head of
-them; The John Anderson lay tier own length from theto,.and
between the two vessels the steamer was trying to pass. • They
hailed her, and told her to stop a short tithe. Those on board
the steaMer stopped the paddles for an- instant, and then he.
heard •a cry of "Go on—fiard a starboard." Immediately the
steamer came across their bow, forcing them over against the
John Anderson, breaking their head rails, -and carrying away
the bowsprit and part of-the rigging. The math-topmast was
.also broken. off by the stock, and it fell amongst the men of the
John. Anderson. A shipmaster anu a shipwright, who had ex-
amined the injuries, were called. The forme' stated, that it.
would cost £5 to repair the damage done to the rigging, and the
latter said,. the other injuries which the vessel had sustained
could not be repaired. under £l6. Mr. Hall said, they had
proved a damage of £21.. By sec. 115 oldie 6 Geo. IV, he could
not interfere where the damage claimed was more than 1:21)
The solicitor for the owners of the .Clyde thought, as the act
specified that a reduction of one-third was to be made for the
difference between old and new . materials, that the sum which
they claimed was in reality under £2O, as, in point of fact, they
only claimed two-thirds of £2l. Mr. Hall said, the act evi-
dently intended that the power to interfere shoutd be governed
by the amount of (haulage proved.
CHARGES OF HoMicIOE AGAINST A SHIP'S CAPTAIN.—Phi-
Iip Partride, captain of the_ Vigilant, belonging,'we understand,
to,M r, Quaile, of this port, was, on Tuesday, brought up at the
Police-odice, on two charges of flogging and ill-treating two of
his hands 'on board,- on their homeward bound voyage from th
Coast Of Africa, from the effects of which they died. The first
ease gone into was a charge of illtreating, a boy named WilliaM
Dayies. Front the testimony of the second imate and several
seamen, it appeared that in April last, when within five weeks'
sail of this port, the captain knocked the deceased down as he
stood at the wheel. arid kicked him as he lay on deck. The boy
was at the time ill of a dysentery ; but, notwithstanding, he
was flogged almost daily, and sometimes repeatedly in the day,
taltiLabOut the I 2tli day from that on which he was knocked
dOwn,'whert he died. One of the seamen said the boy yonti-
nued'in grow worse daily, but he was still flogged and ill-treated.
The surgeon of the vessel stated, that the injuries received dodoubt hastened the boy's death.. He might have recovered with
kind treatment. The next charge was for flogging and
Ili-
treating the cooper on board; but the surgeon was of opinion
that he died a natural death. He hail suffered from an :Mark
of fever on the coast, and was much emaciated. re-

nearly bald.

DKFINITION of "Nor PAIZTICULARI v DRUNK."—Yesterday
at the Police-office, a silly fellow, who had the night before beet]
robbed of his coat at a house of ill fame, in the midst of his story
was asked by Mr. Hall, who is some times exceedingly spicy in
his Police.oftce remarks, "Well, I suppose you were drunk?"
Complainant—" Oh, nit. particalarlu drunk:" Mr. IIaII—
" Drunk as usual?.' Complainant was quite posed, hut would
not admit that he was usually drunk,

STEALING GLASSES FROM PURI ICANS.—Cases of pilfering
• glasses from rublicans are continually occurring •at the police,-
conrt, and that body of tradesmen must be great sufferers from
this cause. ; Yest.erday. ahint was throwxt out in the police-court
which may in some measure put au end to this. Mr-. Hanson,
publican, of Scotland-road, appeared to prefer a charge against
a. woman for stealing one of his glasses. He said his losses from
having his. glasses stolen amounted to lOs. a week. The usual
plan was to have, the name of-the owner scratched on the side,
when. stolen the glass was taken to persons who made a living
by it, the name ground off, and in a few minutes the glass,
polished, and there was no longer any identifyingAt, • So great
had been his loss in this way, that he had hit, on the plan, of
having his name cast in the glass, so, that it wept right through
and there was -no grinding it out.. He orodoced a specimen,
which was the usual glass casting round the, glass,
.as on soda
water bottles, &c. ..This hint may-be useful to the class of pub-
licans. • •

BonnEnv.;--Yesterday at the police-office, Mrs. Leonard,•the
'wife of Mr. Thomas Leonard of the Derby Arms Inn; near the.
Zoological Gardens, appeared before the magistrates to charge
one of her servants, Elizabeth Brodie, with.h-aving,robbed her
of some money... Mrs Leonard stated that she had £6. in silver
in a tin box which belonged to her father (Mr. Atkins) and put
it into her. bed room. On. Tuesday morning, on going for it
and counting it, she found £l. 15s. short. As no one had been
in the room but herself and the chamber maid, she wentdown
stairs and taxed the chamber maid with having taken it. The
prisoner trembled very much, and said, ".do you accuse me of
taking it? I will make you pa) .for it if you do." She called a
policeman and gave her into custody, and the money was found
on her. '[he prisoner, in defence, 'tented the charge, and said
it was all a mistake of Mr. Leonard's; that her mistress was
troubled with a. very bad memory. ,The prisoner was fully
committed to take her trial.

earliest'rbesplati,efforts•were Made, and where the grountkvork
of his succeeding lame seers lirnity leicl, tvhile it was the deserved
reward of his exertions, mint at the same time have been highly
flattering to him. In personal firpeirrance„ Mr V andenhotfhas
much improved frOm his trip over the Atlantic; when we last
saw him abont.l2 months ago, there was a (levee of lankness
about his limb's and person, whicit has nova been changed into
_robustness: There are many original points in Mr Vanden-
hoff's Hamlet, wherein he widely s from his conteMpo-
rat ies ; some of them distinguished try much beauty ; some of
them detective. His Hamlet •is not the the unsteady, fretful,
wayward, boiling-over personage that Chas. Kean•makes' hint ;
nor yet that mixture of sentimentality amtpassion, and deliverer
of studied catching points of eloquence and pathos of language
'that Macreatty makes him.' He represents hini-as a thoughtful
grave Man, one .slokv of purpose, of mature considerat:int, yet
quick-ref wit. His acting oti this conception• of the character
was a near approaCh to perfection; his demeanour was thought-
ful, not slightly shaken, and. his speech slow: this accorded well
with that stiffness of gait and fixedness of b atm,. which time is
fast giving to him. But the.cinest ion then arises, is this' the true
conception of the character of a young Mall or about 2.5 years of
age, such as Hamlet is represented ? and we confess we think
this extreme thoughtfulness and gravity of demeanour is only
the distinguishing attribute tit a much older man than Hamlet
It is true that the circumstanees in which Hamlet is placed must
be taken into the account ; but yet there is an elasticity about
the temperament of youth which is the very opposite of that fixed •
gravity of character which Mr. Vandenhoitiepresents Hamlet
to have. The temper of youth is not like the continually bent
bow. His aoliloquies, were delivered as soliloquies, and not as
if bellowing:to an audience at a distance, as we hit vesometttnes
heard actors give them, with the most outrageous rant. They
were characterised by the, slow love utterance of deep and de-
termined feeling, whilst the audience seemed forgotten.. Occa-
sionally, however, this was carried too faron hirtutterance being
so low that the word or the sentiment was lost ; this is :an ap-
parent fault in the opposite extreme which ought to tie avoitled.
Mr. Yandenhoff Hamlet, in the scene of the Players.before
the King, far surpassed any representation we have before seen
of this part of the play. was excited, vet cool and deter-
mined; watchful and keen, without .Womanish flurrv; and his
by-play was exceedingly clever. When the King asks, " What
do you call the play ?" he gives the answer with a ready yet
bitter sarcasm—"the mouse trap;" midi proceeds to egi de its
history with pointed coinness, instead of tumbling the words
out, head over heels after the manner of Chas. Kean. Though
we rarely see a better Fo/onius than Mr. laker,.he was this
evening fully equalled, and in :mine
,points 'Surpassed by MY.
barren's Pu/9niax. . His folly waa delivered With a graver face,
awl_ told more pnintedly. One word tvith regard hone. manage-
ment. We cannot admire the ineotisistritcy orlaving down a
carpet in the scene of the Players figure the King. This is

which turned the whittle scene lima burlesque, and when 01.4
marched off, the audience, instead of sympathy, expressed, their
merriment: These are points which ought not to be overlooked.
At the conclusion'tir the Dial! Mr. Vandenhoff was loudly called
for, emit, after an interval, made his appearance. He was en-
thusiasticallY cheered. He briefly expressed his gratitude for
the welenine with which he was again received in his native •
land; an 4 retired amidst. great cheering. Mr, Farren has been
the chief attraction during 'the rest of the weeß, by his unri-
valled acting in several favourite comedies.
