POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

ANTIPATHY TO TEE-TOTALISM.—At the Police-office on
Friday, a y outh named Ross, some 17 or 18 years of age,
who stated that he was a cooper's apprentice, was brought
before Mr. Hall, charged with having disturbed a tee-total
meeting the preceding evening in the neighbourhood of
Fox-street. The prisoner was arraigned by a member of the
society, who stated in a lengthy and circuitous address to the
bench, that be (the prisoner) was " drunk with the drunk-
ard's strong drink—intoxicating liquor," under the influence
of which he attempted to disturb the meeting, and used
epithets of a very unsavory character—that he was requested
to desist—that the eloquence of the tee-total advocates made
no visible impression on him—and that he continued his in-
trusive visit until forcibly ejected. The prisoner, however,
who appeared to entertain great contempt for tee-totalism,
and extended that contempt to its professors, returned to the
meeting again, and recommended his system of annoyance.
It was iu vain that he was asked to sign—equally vain were
the denunciations levelled by the tee-totallers against those
"who get up early in the morning that they may -have stiocg
think, and remain until night till wine inflames them." The
prisoner imagined that he could exterminate tee-totalism
root and branch, and no alternative remained but to give him
into custody.—Mr. Hall read the juvenile "lover of strong
drink" a lecture on the impropriety of his conduct in-thus
disturbing a peaceable meeting. He was fined ss. for being
drunk, and in default of payment to be committed to the
House of Correction.

A TROUBLESOME LODGER.—A person named Stagg ap-
peared at the Police-office on Friday, to prefer a complaint
against his lodger, who is an assistant to a chemist in Lord-
street. The complainant stated. that the prisoner came to
his house drunk, on Friday morning, between one and two
o'clock. He threw himself on a sofa in the front parlour,
and refused to go to bed. The prisoner, at the time, was
greatly intoxicated. The lodging-house keeper remon-
strated with him on the impropriety of his conduct; .to which
the prisoner replied that the apartment was his—he paid for
it—and he would "doas he liked with his own." The col-
loquy ended by the prisoner's proceeding to " kick up a
row"—breaking six panes of glass in. the complainant's
parlour—damaging his Venetian blinds—and disturbing the
neighbourhood. For the purpose of cooling his irritability,
the complainant called in the assistance of the police, awl the
refractory lodger was. with great difficulty, carried to Bride-
well. But this process did not mend the matter; for the
Bride Well keeper refused to receive him as an inmate: and,
flushed with victory, he instantly proceeded to the scene of
his triumphs—the parlour aforesaid, of which he took im-
mediate possession, where he'believed himself " monarch of
all he sum eyed." Determined to be avenged on the pug-
nacious landlord, he next attempted to fire the house—par-
lour, Venetian blinds, windows—all, believing that—
The aspiring youth who fired the Ephesian dome,
Outlives in fame the pious fool that raised it;
and he was only prevented from carrying his resolve into ex-
ecution by the police again stepping in between him and im-
mortality. The prisoner, in his defence, confessed that he
had taken a few glasses of " toddy," which had a very ob-
livious effect uPon him. He was fined ss. for being drunk,
together with 6s. and costs for "milling the glaze."
A PaohiFfc BAKER.—A very young lad was brought up
at the police-offit e' on Friday, having been detected by a
police-officer in an attempt to pick a gentleman's pocket.
The boy entered on his defence with all the volubillity of a
thief—for thieves are a ready-tongued as well as a ready-
handed race—and was stopped just as he had burst into tears
and was reaching the climax ofhis speech, by the question of
Where do you live?" Hereupon a grave-looking, stout,
elderly man came forward, and exclaimed, with a gruff voice,
but in a most insinating manner, " He's my son, sir, if you
please." Magistrate.—lt would please me better if yon
would take care of your son. Father.—l does do that, I
assure you, sir. I looks strictly arter all their morals, and I
know he. wouldn't do nothing that was anyways wrong. He's
been lugged into some devilry and then left in the lurch,
maybe, your honour; for he's a wery good boy—he always
goes to bed early at night without grumbling, and that's a
vartue I kuows the value on. It's me that ought to do it,
for I've had a houseful o' them to bring up, and it was always
my maxum that him what's in bed early's out o' all harm.
Magistrate.—What are you? Father.—l'm a baker; but I
has wery little work, sir, wery little work. I can only get a
little loaf for a big family. Magistrate.—How many children
have you ? Father.—l'm the father of twenty. Magistrate.
—Twenty! By one woman? Father.—No, sir; six by a
former wife, and fourteen by my present wife.—The boy was
remanded.

BLACK INGRATITUDE.—A black man of the name of Wells
was charged at the police-office on Friday with having stolen
a bundle of clothes, a small sum of money, and a few other
trifling articles, from the smack Herald, on the preceding
night. It appeared that Michael Daly, the captain of the
smack, had kindly given the prisoner a free passage hither
from an Irish port, together with his meat; the vessel ar-
rived on the Thursday, and the prisoner ungratefully took
the opportunity of decamping with the clothes of the captain.
He was apprehended in Sparling-street by a police-officer,
on suspicion, and on the examination of the clothes a letter
was found which indicated to whom they belonged. The
prisoner was remanded to take his trial.
THE MONK MURDERER.—Yesterday, at the Police-office,
the alleged Monk Carrick, whose revolting cruelties to some
children in Dublin have recently created much sensation,
was bronghtup at the Police-office, having been apprehended
and detained on the verdict of the coroner's jury at Dublin.
The prisoner, John Joseph, alias Jerome Carrick, a meek-
looking, or as he has been describei "saintly" looking indi-
vidual, attired in a long black coat of clerical cut, was placed
at the bar, and Mr. Commissioner Dowling addressing the
bench, said the prisoner was on Sunday, charged by a monk
named Kelly, and another man, who is the clerk of the Ca-
tholic Chapel at Copperas-hill, as the person who had caused ,
the death of the child, John Touche, in Dublin, over whom
a coroner's inquest had been held, and the prisoner found
guilty of murder. He held a newspaper in his band, which
detailed the evidence given before the coroner's jury, attri-
buting most revolting barbarities to the prisoner, who, it
appeared, called himself a Carmelite Monk, residing in
Key-street, Dublin, where he was in the habit of receiving
children for a small sum of money, for the purpose of educa-
ting them. When the prisoner had been brought to hint (Mr.
Dowling) he had read the statements given in the Ilicreury
to him, and asked him if he was the person alluded to? He
said he was, but that his name was Jerome Carrick, and not •
John Joseph, as stated in the paper. He (Mr. Dowling) had
written to Dublin respecting the prisoner,.and applied to Mr.
Hall to remand him until he heard respecting him. The pri-
soner was accordingly remanded. - On the-person of the pri-
•soner were found several pieces of coloured :leather and
satin, sewed together as little bags, and a-number of small
pieces of w ite substance, apparently wax, which he was in
the habit aselling as charms to keep the devil. away; the
bags were O put then) in to bang round the neck. This is
another evidence of the degrading superstition of his dupes.
ABSENCE OF MlND.—Yesterday, at the Police-office, a
dirty-looking individual, named Smith, was charged with
having been found fast asleep, quite naked, its a gutter, in
the neighbourhood of the ducks. The prisoner, notwith-
standing what Dr. Young has said to the contrary, that
" Tir'd nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep,
He. like the world, his ready visits pays
Where fortune smiles,"
insisted that he was one of the most unfortunate of men; for,
by some witchcraft which he could nut divine, his bed, usually
so warm and comfortable, had been changed into the bed of
a kennel ; his downy pillow. into a pillow of slutch ; his dear
kind hearted Molly into a hard hearted cobble stone, and to
complete his misfortunes, he hail not a rag of blanket, and
every stitch of his clothing had miraculously disappeared.
From the statement of the policeman who took him into
custody, it appeared, that the prisoner had been wandering
homewards from some friend's house, Bacchi pleni ; when
having made several circuitous tours, he imagined, very na-
turally, that he bad walked long enough to be at home, and,
therefore, concluded, very erroneously, that he was at home.
Acting on this conclusion, he proceeded forthwith to pull off
his clothes, as he would have done in his own proper bed-
room; of which, having totally disencumbered himself, he
proceeded to step into what he supposed was the bed, by
stepping into the bed of the kennel, in which, having com-
fortably deposited his length, he threw his arms round a
cobble stone, to which he addressed several very endearing
epithets, calling it his " dear Molly," and dropped soundiy
asleep. Whilst he was snoring with his cheek against the
cobble, some one had taken the opportunity to walk off with
his clothes. In this state he was found by the policeman,
who roused him from his dreams, and safely lodged him in
Bridewell. He appealed at the bar in a " shocking" bad
suit of clothes, which had been lent to him. Mr. Hall, after
severely :eprimanding him, told him to take care and not
make such a beast of himself again, which being promised,
he was fined ss. for being drunk, and liberated to tell his
" dear Molly" his adventures.
HAMMERING AWAY.—Yesterday, at the Police Office, a
respectable looking man, residing in Rupert-street, appeared
to prefer a charge against a mechanic-looking sort of indivi-
dual, for perpetually hammering away at his door knocker
on Sunday morning. The complainant stated, that he was
awoke out of his first, and only sleep, by a tremendous thun-
dering at his door. His first impression being that his house
was on fire, he started out of bed in great alarm, which was
not at all lessened by the continued noise of the door knocker
' knock, knock, knock, knocic," knocking away enough '

knock the door down. 'ln his hurry and trepidation he got
his unwhisperables on the wrong way first, which delayed
him for a short time, and the knock, knock, knocking, was
renewed with redoubled vigour. At length he got down
stairs, and found, on opening the door, that the prisoner was
the cause of the noise. On asking hint what he was rousing
him and the whole neighbourhood in that way for, he told
him that

•. Door knockers, like watches, were made only to go,"

and walked off. He (complainant) had just got into bed
again, and was calming his perturbed spirits, when he was
again startled by the same "knock, knocking." He thought
this time he would let the prisoner go at the knocker till he
was satisfied. But so unintermittent were its heavy blows on
the door, that he began to think perpetual motion was found
out, and applied to his knocker. Unable any longer to bear
the noise, he again got up, and threatened to give the pri-
soner into the custody of a policeman if hedid not desist. He
then walked off, but soon returned again to the charge; and
the knocker went On " knock, knock, knock," as loud as
ever, and when he spoke to the man, he received nothing
but abuse. This went on till eleven o'clock in the morning,
when, being fairly knocked op by the noise of his door-
knocker, he sallied out in quest of a policeman, and gave the
prisoner into custody. The prisoner, when asked what he
had to say for indulging so unwarrantably in his knocking
propensities, said the complainant's wife had, two days be-
fore, knocked one of his (prisoner's) children down with a
very unfit weapon, to wit, a rolling pin, and that, the- day
before only, the complainant himself had given another of
his (prisoner's) children a severe knock on the head with
his umbrella, and so he retaliated by knocking him up. The
complainant stated, that the children were very greatly an-
noying to him. Mr. Hall fined- the prisoner ss. for being
drunk.
SMUGGLlNG.—Yesterday, at the Police Office, a voung
man, steward of the ship Hector, from Cronstadr, in Russia,
was placed at the bar, on a charge of attempting to smuggle
a quantity of tobacco. From the statement of Mr. Neil,
tide-surveyor, it appeared that ou his rummaging the vessel,
which arrived only that morning into the Prince's Dock, he
found, concealed between the lining of the beams and the
deck, in the captain's state-room, 21 lbs. of tobacco and
cigars, and Ilb of snuff. The prisoner was on board at the
time, and said the tobacco was his, and he had put it there,
and that he was a native of Itverness-shire, in Scotland.
The prisoner was remanded till the pleasure of the Board of
Customs, in London, should be known.

A DISTRESSING CASE.—A young woman, of rather an in-
teresting appearance, and who had evidently seen better
days, applied on Saturday last to the select vestry for relief,
desiring a small sum of money to provide herself with some
articles of decent clothing, to enable her to undertake a situ-
ation, as a domestic servant, which she had obtained in the
family of a oentleman in the neighbourhood. Her history
is a short hut melancholy one. She is the wife of a Captain
W—, of this port, and during the absence of her husband
she formed an acqnaintance with a Mr. H , a dashing
young fellow, well known in the town, to her most fatal in its
result—he accomplished her ruin. She was found with her child
in a garret in Edmund-street, the wet and cold having free
access to the room, in the depth of the winter of last year,
with scarcely sufficient clothing to cover her nakedness during
that inclement season; the consequence was death to her
child and a long illness to herself. Her heartless seducer re-
fused to contribute one shilling towards her relief. Her rela-
tives are respectable, and reside in the town; but from
motives of delicacy we suppress their names.

It is confidently stated that the Lord Mayor, as consery r
ato
of the Thames, has issued, or is about issuing, an order for-
bidding persons to angle in that river on Sundays.—Morning

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL

STANDARD.

SIR,—Yesterday, as I was crossing the water by the ten
o'clock Woodside 'boat, to attend Divine service at All Saints
church, the following "short sermon" was put into my
hands, by an elderly gentleman, with a request that I would
read it, who likewise presented one to each of the passengers
on board, and it would be well if others would do the same,
for I am convinced, that a very great amount of good would
result by distributing indiscriminately such papers as this, or
short religious tracts, for it engages them to read it, and if
they spuru the contents, at the great day they will be without
excuse.

" SHORT SERMON.

"How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation ?
fleb. 2nd and 3rd verse.

A salvation, great, indeed, beyond description, or con-
ception, contrived by the wisdom and love of God for my
poor lost soul! A salvation procured by the death of the
only begotten Son of God, How near was Ito the brink of
hell! How deeply was I fallen! How many and great my
sins, to make such a salvation necessary. How dangerous,
must it be to neglect it ! God has no other Son to give! If
you are unconcerned about it; if you take no pains to secure
It; if you are unaffected with your danger, and with the
salvation that is proposed to you, how can you escape?
impossible. You reject the only Saviour, and thereby com-
mit the greatest sin;
.you spurn at God's mercy in Christ,
and trample the precious blood of Christ under your feet.
Are you not shocked at such a thought? Be assured that
every careless, prayerless sinner, is guilty of this. There is
no relief for those who reject Christ 'There remaineth no

more sacrifice for sin.' Cheir ruin is certain, is near,, and
will be eternal and intolerable. Remember • this is the ac-
cepted time, and this is the day of salvation.' II Cor., chap.
v., 2 verse. If you die without Christ, yon can never see the
face of God with comfort. You must hear the judge pro-
nounce your sintence, ' Depart, ye cursed into eve, tasting
fire, prepared To`r the devil and his angels.' Matt. xxv., 41.
God forbid ! Once more I entreat you, my fellow-sinner,
before you close, the book, stop and think. Nay, go upon

_
your knees, and pray to God to awaken your conscience,
and give you the knowledge of Christ. Aly prayers are
offered up for your salvation. I have no motive for putting
this into your hands but your eternal good. •0 God, may
this little book be productive of good to the reader's soul, in
time and eternity. Follow it Kith thy blessing; and may
the precious truths it sets forth, 'be the savour of life unto
life; and not of death unto death.'
,Grant it, 0 Lord, fur
Jesus Christ's sake! Amen. Amen.

" Salvation to the 1.,4411 belongs,
His ar►n alone can save:
Blessings attend thy people here,
And reach beyond the grave."
By allowing the above to appear iu your columns, you will
oblige, yours, &c.

TO LAWRENCE H Y WORTH, Esn., PRESIDENT
OF THE TEE-TUTALL .
Liverpuul, 18ilt Aug., 1838.
St R, —I would be obliged by y our inforuting me how the tee-
totallers can reconcile the following portions of scripture with
total abstinence :—" Give strong drink unto hint that is
ready to perish, and wine unto those that be heavy of heart."
—Prov. 31, 6. " Drink no longer water, but use a little wine
for thy stomach's sake, and thine often infirmities."—l Tim.
5, 23. " And wine that maketh glad the heart of man."—
Psalm 104, 15. "And the vine said unto them, should I
leave my wine, which cheereth God and Man, and go to be
promoted over the other trees."—Judges 9, 13. 'Go thy
way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry
heart; for God accepteth thy works."—Eccles. 9, 7. Read
also from the Ist to 12th vetse of the 2nd chapter of St. John's
Gospel, and you will find the first 'miracle Christ ever per-
formed was to turn water into wine, showing that scripture
does not sanction total abstinence, but
MODERATION.

SOIREES AT THE ROYAL INSTITUTION.—The ladies and
gentlemen who experienced the delightful soirees held, last
winter, at the Royal Institution, will be pleased to learn, that
another series of soirees will be held, during the ensuing
winter, at the sane place. Crowded as the rooms were on
the last, we feel quite confident that they will be still more
crowded on the coming occasion.
IRON SHiP.—Vessels built of iron have been for some years
in use, on the Mersey, the Clyde, and the Thames, as steamers.
The principal manufacturer of iron steamers, in this part of
the kingdom, is Mr.'John Laird, of North Birkenhead, who
has produced a number of very fine specimens of the ait..
There is now building, however, in a yard at the south end of
the town, an iron vessel of 300 tons burden, to be propelled by
wind alone. She is, we understand, intended for the cotton
trade. Her light draught of water will, it is calculated, enable
her to load cargo and sail from the wharf of a town which
vessels of a similar tonnage, built of timber alone, cannot
accomplish, owing to their large draught of water. We hear
that this iron ship will be ready for sea in a few months.
HER MAJESTY'S PACKET GULNARE.—THE ROYAL
WILLIAtti.—A most extraordinary occurrence took place in
Kingstown harbour, in respect to this celebrated steam-vessel,
on Thursday evening: She was proceeding to her station,
at the Jetty, for the purpose of taking in her passengers just
as her Majesty's steam-vessel the Gulnare (Captain Davis)
was arriving with the four o'clock mail, from Holyhead. The
word was passed from the Gulnare to " take that vessel out of
the way," when the engines of the Royal William were 'at
once reversed. The Gulnare held on her speed, and struck
the Royal William, carrying away her bulwarks. The
engines of the Gulnare were reversed, and set forward a se-
cond time, when again she struck the Royal William, and car-
ried away the foregatigway. The spectators from the shore
could not in any way account for this extraordinary proceed-
ing. After the Gulnare had lauded the mail, Captain Davis
went aboard the Royal William to explain the occasion of
the collision to Captain Swainsoti. The Royal William sailed
at six p'clock, every berth being full.—Dublin Statesman.

EFFECT OF RAILWAY TRAVELLING.—The best practical
illustration of the advantages of railway travelling in the
saving of time, and its accompanying results, occurred during
the present week in the-case of the highly talented corps of
Vocalists, Who figured a' the concert lust Friday. Mr. Mori,
together with Madame Grisi, Madame Albertazzi, Lablache,.
•
lvanoff, &c., gave a concert on Monday in Birmingham; The.
following evening they performed in Manchester; on Wed-
nesday evening they gave a concert in Liverpool; on Thnrs- • •
day another in Manchester; on Friday another in Liverpool; •
and on Saturday they gave a second concert in Birmingham_
They have thus visited the two greatest towns in the north of
England,.and the capital of the midland counties tacicejin
the course of six days, and remained two. nights -in each town
during a space of time nearly one-half of which, under the
old system of travelling, would have been alone consunaed.on
the road.

INCREASE OP DWELLING-HOUSES IN LIVERPOOL—During
the present year, a vast number of houses have been erected
in this town and suburbs. There was, it will be recollected,
a complete glut of houses, occasioned by the facility which,
some three or four years ago, money could be procured by
speculators in land and houses. Hundreds of the houses.run
up by this means remained without tenants, to the ruin of
many builders and the loss of more. The consequence was,
that house-building received a check : until, population hav-
ing undertaken the means for its accommodation, the busi-
ness has recommenced with great vigour, and under the most
promising assurances that it will prove extremely profitable.
The new houses which range in rent from twenty-five to
thirty-five pounds a year, are taken, in most neighbourhoods,
as fast as they can be got ready for habitation. At no period,
indeed, within our recollection, was the increase of the town
in population, the result of the increase of its trade, more
rapid than it is at the present.

A BATTERY IN A WRoNia PLACE.—Some forty years ago,
when the war with France raged, a fort was erected, on the
North Shore, for the defence of the port. At the time it was
erected, it was full two miles and a half from the then extreme
northern, namely, the George's Deck. About twenty years
ago this fort was pulled down, and a regular batters erected
on its site by the Ordnance department. Even then the bat-
tery was far removed from the busy ducks, and, though every
body saw that, In process of time, it would be approached by
the docks, few dreamt that the approach would be made so
quickly as it has been. Now, instead of standing alone, the
battery is almost surrounded by docks, works, shipwrights'
yards, &c., and it must, in a short time, be entirely removed.
The increase of steamers will require increased dock-room ;
to provide which a new and spacious dock must be constructed
on the site of the present battery, and the peaceful pursuits
of industry carried on where now "the sentry walks his weary
round."

CONSISTENCY OF LouD JOHN RU:SSEI.L.—In May, last
year, by the most strenuous exertion, and the votes of 16
other placemen in the House of Commons, his lordship suc-
ceeded in defeating Mr. Ewart's motion to restrict the punish-
ment of death to the single case of murder. Lord John ob-
tained a majority although of one may, and accordingly that
penalty continues for several other crimes. His lordship, on
Thursday last, carried his own law into execution upon a
convict named Maslen or Maskelyne, at Devizes, for whose
life the prosecutor, Mr. Rumbold, and the inhabitants of that
town petitioned in vain. This needs no comment.—Morainy
Herald.
THE REeENT FATAL DUEL.—The coroner's jury which sat
on the body of Mr. Mirfin, who, it will be recollected, was
'killed in alluel by Mr. Eliot, came, after several adjourn-
ments, to the following verdict :—" That Francis Eliot, John
Young, Henry Webber, and Edward Delves Broughton,
together with two others, whose names are not at present
known, are guilty of wilful murder; the first named party as
principal in the first degree, and the remainder as principals
in the second degree."
The vintage and harvest throughout Portugal are repre-
sented as being luxuriant and ,good. Large shipments of
wines were still making at .Oporto for the Brazils. It is a
fact worth mentioning that the statistical returns of Portugal
show an increase in the extent of soil under cultivation, of
from a quarter to one-third of the whole, during the last
three years, notwithstanding the commotions and civil war-
fare which had existed during that period.—Morning Chro-
nicle.

We regret to hear that her Royal Highness the Princess
Sophia labours under an almoSt entire deprivation of sight.
An operation was recently performed on the princess's eyes,
by 141 r. Alexander, for the purpose of restoring her vision.
Her royal highness has removed from Kensington Palace to
the mansion of Colonel Wynyard, in Church-lane, where she
will reside while her apartments are undergoing a thorough

repair.
ARRIVAL OF THOMAS MOORE.—OIIr illustrious country-
man, Thomas Moore, Esq., arrived in town on Monday last,
on business connected with the forthcoming volume of • his
History of Ireland. Mi. Moore remains in Leland for about
six weeks, but we understand he will be almost exclusively
occupied in his researches in the library of Trinity. College—
. Evening Post.
Dr. Desjardins, who had been sent into Egypt by the Mi-
nister of Public Instri.ction, has lately discovered there a
considerable numberof MSS., some in the Memphiticoathers
in the Saltic lang,uages. The Prophecies of Isaiah, Jere-
miah, and Baruch, with a letter to the Jewish prisoners at
Babylon, the Book of Job, the 14 first chapters of Proverbs,
and some fragments of the Book of Kings, are mentioned
among the works contained in them.
MEETING OF WOMEN.—At a meeting of women in Car-
lisle, on the 27th August, a Mrs. CatherineiMoore took the
chair, and harangued the assembly on the subject. of the
poor law She especially dwelt upon the iniquity of not
allowing man and wife to sleep together in the workhouses,
declaring that whom " God had joined together" man shall
' not " put asunder." A memorial to the Queen against the
poor law was Unanimously adopted.
LORD MILTON.-1I is said that there will be grand doings
in the ensuing month, on the occasion of Viscount Milton's
`birth-day being kept. His Lordship will complete:. his 2sd
year, on the 12th of next month, and the rejoicing-tc usual „on
the heir attaining his majority have been deferred•in conse-
quence of the premature and lamented demise, in 1836; ofthe
late Viscount. •
CHRIST CHURCH, BRADFORD.—Last week, the congreg,a-
lion of this church presented the Rev. JoSima Wri.od, their
late curate, with a purse, containing upwards of fifty
iove-
reigns. He was universally respected, and hii removal from
Bradford is deeply regretted by all those svith whom he asso-
ciated.

The coming of age of the young Earl of Match and
Darnley will be celebrated with great splendour on the Doke
of Richmond's estates in England and Scotland. His lord-
shipist

on the 27th of February next.
FISHING EXTR A Olt DINA y.—The Harbinger, ',trawler,
whilst fishing on Monday night about 1(1 miles beyond the
Eddystone Lighthouse, caught two sharks with a hook and
line,--one of them upwards of six feet long, which conducted
itself in a very riotous and disorderly niautier wheii bithight
