THE SCREW STEAM SHIP CHARITY.

Lin Charity (s.s.) Paton, hence for Portland (Maine),
put into Greenock on Saturday morning, last week, decks
swept. The Charity left the Mersey early on the morning
of the 17th instant, and had proceeded as far as 15 west
longitude, when she was overtaken by the terrific gale of
the 20th and 21st.

Captain Paton writes : " The sails were reduced gradu-
ally until very stitch was taken in, and the ship hove to
under bare poles, with engine going dead slow to keep
enough way on the ship, to keep her head up to the sea.
She was in this position, and about four points from the
wind, when an immense sea struck her, and swept almost
everything off the decks, including the funnel, three boats,
taking several davits with them, the galley, companion,
&c., &e."
Much water, of course went down into the cabins and
engine-room, causing considerable alarm amongst the
passengers. The donkey engine was set to work to pump
the water out. Although without a funnel, the engineers
succeeded in raising as much steam as kept the engine
moving slowly. Captain Patou put about, and the wind
being from the southward, made for Greenock, where they
arrived on Saturday morning at three o'clock.
The Sarah Sands, (s.s.) which should have sailed yester-
day for Portland, is detained in the river for the passengers
ex " Charity," who are to arrive here from Greenock by
railway early this morning. It is intended that the
Charity shall come round here for repairs to the deckwork,
&c., aS soon as a funnel has been fitted to her in the
Clyde.

LIVERPOOL COUNTY COURT.-
YESTERDAY.

(Before JOSEPH POLLOCK, Esq., Judge.)

CLAIM BY A DOMESTIC.—HALL V. CITTIRCHOD.—
Margaret Hall, a domestic servant, residing at 45, Great
Crosshall-street, summoned Mrs. Churchod, of the Queen's
Hotel, Lime-street, for 19s. 2d., a month's wages. It ap-
peared that plaintiff had been engaged as chambermaid,
at £lO a-year wages, but after she had been there a week
she was dismissed, the reason being according to her own
statement that "she could not answer two bells at once.'.'

POLICE COURT -YESTERDAY. _-_ESTERDAY.

STEALING A. MAN'S DlNNER.—Jatnes Pollard was con-
victed of stealing a working porter's dinner, at ten o'clock
that morning. He was sentenced to twenty-one days' im-
prisonment.
ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Ann Cowie, who had been
servant with Mrs. Ellis, in Mount-pleasant, was charged
with opening a drawer in the bedroom of a nephew of
Mrs. Ellis, and stealing therefrom a purse containing
£2 155., on Saturday, the 21st inst. It appeared that the
prisoner, who had, at a former time, been in the service of
Mrs. Ellis, which she had left, but lately returned, with
a character, which she ill-deserved, and on the strength of
it she was re-engaged. Having effected the theft by means
of a false key, Cowie made her escape. On Saturday las t
she was discovered secreted in a house in Duckworth-
street. She denied all knowledge of the theft. No part of
the stolen property was found on her, although she had
made the purchase of some articles of dress, having pre-
viously been known to be very poor. The case was re-
manded till to-day.
UNGRATEFUL THIEVES. Thomas Flanigan, James
Lang, Thomas McManus, Bridget Flanigan, and Mary
Flanigan, the two latter being the wife and sister of the
first-named prisoner, were brought up charged with
robbery. The male prisoners were represented as
Preston operatives out on strike. It appeared that on
Wednesday night the operatives went to the lodging-house
of Mrs. Hogan, at Innfield, near Accrington, and repre-
senting that they hadno money to pay fortheirlodgings, were
permitted to remain without charge. Having thus obtained
entrance, they contrived to open a locked box by means of
a false key ; from the box they took 7 sovereigns and 16
half-sovereigns. After securing the booty, they took the
train from Preston and came to Liverpool. They were
traced ; and, on being taken into custody, it was found
that Flanigan and Lang had taken passages to America,
for which they had paid the sum of £lO. 2s. 6d. The
females were not, so far as the evidence went to show,
connected with the robbery, and they were discharged.
The three male culprits were ordered to be given up to the
authorities at Accrington.
DASTARDLY ASSA.ULT.—John Bradley was convicted of
striking and knocking down a young woman, on Saturday
night, about eleven o'clock, in Simpson-street, she not
having given the slightest cause of offenee. The prlsoner
said he was so drunk he did not recollect anything about
it. Sentenced to pay a fine of 20s. and costs, or to suffer
fourteen days' imprisonment.
STABBING CASE.—Bernard Shepphard, a black man,
was charged with stabbing Edward Edwards on the night
of Thursday last. The prisoner made his escape at the
time, but was subsequently apprehended, and taken, for
identification, before the wounded man, who was lying in
the infirmary too ill to attend. Prisoner was remanded
for seven days. •
PASSING BASS COIN.— Joseph Ward, charged with
being concerned in several cases of passing counterfeit
shillings, was remanded for a week.
ASSAULTING A WlFE.—David Thompson, a labourer,
was charged by Police-constable 62, with committing an
assault on his wife, whom he knocked down, and treated
in a very brutal manner, on Saturday night. Prisoner
denied the severity of the assault; and said that his wife
was very drunken, and spent his wages in drink. The wife
did not appear. The prisoner was sentenced to be impri-
soned for three months, with hard labour.
DRUNK AND DISORDERLY.—Joseph Thornhill was
fined 10s. and costs, or to suffer seven days' imprison-
ment, for being drunk and creating a disturbance on
Saturday night.

THE AINTREE CHARITY BALL will be held on Wednes-
day the Bth of February, and not to-morrow, stated in a
contemporary.
COLLEGIATE INSTITITTION.—We are glad to observe
that two pupils of the Upper School of this Institution,
Mr. Whiteside, and Mr. Kershaw, are placed among the
senior optimes in the Cambridge list of honours.
MASONIC BALL.—The fifth grand Masonic Ball for the
western division of Lancaster will take place on Tuesday
next, in the Liverpool Town-hall, under noble and dis-
tinguished patronage. The proceeds will be devoted to the
West Lancashire Masonic Institution, for the education
and advancement in life of the children of distressed
freemasons.
GERMAN CHURCH, LIVERPOOL.—RECANTATION.—An
interesting occurrence took place on Sunday last, when
the Rev. D. Hirsch received an Austrian medical gentle-
man into the church, in presence of a numerous congrega-
tion. We understand that several others are under Mr.
Hirsch's instructions, and are likely soon to follow the
above example.
Woirrn-Wpwrgavw awn anSAT WESYEEN lIAIILWAYS
—lt is rumoured that, in consequence of the lug rate ot
interest for money, and the difficulty of raising it from the
prospect of war, these companies have agreed to withdraw
their Parliamentary bills for new works.
r LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—It is believed
that this company will have a dividend of 9s. ; and that,
as they are approaching the' ten per cent. limit, they will
gradually capitalize their debentures.
A COINCIDENCE. —On Tuesday, two couples were united
in the bonds of matrimony at the Preston Parish Church,
and, as a rather singular coincidence, we may mention
that the females were both landladies, and each was bind-
ing herself to a third husband.—Preston Pilot.
POACHING.—On Monday morning an affray took place
on the preserves of Mr. Pudsey Dawson, of Hornby Castle,
Windermere, between the keepers and some poachers, in
which the former were worsted. One of the poachers
threatened to use his gun, They were afterwards identi-
fied and arrested.
WIGAN.—The Vice-Chancellor has refused a motion for
an injunction to restrain the Corporation of Wigan from
making a rate to pay a solicitor's bill incurred in opposing
the passage of the Liverpool Waterworks Bill, and for
which an action had been brought. Costs to be costs in
the cause.

Nothing had been said on either side as to any notice,
although evidence was given that the defendant generally
engaged servants subject to a week's notice. Plaintiff had
been offered 3s. 10d. as a week's wages, but had refused
the money. In the absence of any specific agreement as
to a notice, his honour held that the plaintiff was entitled
to a month's notice, and directed a verdict for the plaintiff
for the amount claimed.
ALLEGED BREAKAGE FROM NEGLIGENT DELIVERY.—
Mr. Edwin Salt, baker and flour dealer, Soho-street, (at
the corner of Queen Anne-street,) preferred a claim
against Mr. Samuel Radford, corn merchant, of £1 18s.
3d., owing to his window having been broken through the
negligence of defendant's carter. It appeared that the
plaintiff dealt with defendant for his supplies of flour. A
lorry containing fifty barrels had been sent up to plaintiff's
shoo. and they were in course of being discharzed on the
footpath, when the first lot having been plied up, tne
ladder-slide was placed from the top of the first tier to the
cart. The carter was delivering them to a person in the
employ of the plaintiff, who stood at the foot of the slide,
when, as the latter was stooping down (according to the
evidence for the plaintiff), the carter let one barrel slip,
and it went right through the window into plaintiff's shop,
causing damage to the extent sued for. The defence was
that the barrels should have been hoisted up into an upper
room at once, but that the plaintiff had not sufficient
hands engaged for the purpose, and that the carter had no
further responsibility than simply delivering them from
the lorry, leaving on the servants of the plaintiff the onus
of seeing that they were safely received. His honour,
after carefully sifting the evidence, and attaching evident
weight to the equivocating manner in which the carter
himself had given his testimony, directed a verdict for the
plaintiff; with costs out of pocket.
SPOILING A CHRISTMAS DINNER.—James Leicester,
whitesmith, of 14, Byrom-terrace, Byrom-street, shed
Thomas Turner, public bake-house keeper, of-Primrose-
hill, Fontenoy-street, " for having," according to his sum-
mons, " spoiled a goose of the plaintiff's, whereby he has
sustained damage to the amount of 55." Mrs. Leicester
said that the goose, which was the interesting subject of
dispute, was bought for Christmas. She took it to the
defendant's to be baked, and asked him when it would be
done. He said at one o'clock. She went for it at that
time, and found that it had been converted to a cinder,
" so that it was not fit to be placed upon a table at all."
She added that she had cautioned him on leaving not to
do it too much. In answer to the Judge, she said she did
not take it away : she left it there, and did not know what
had become of it. She had pieces of the bone which she
had broken off, to show that it had been reduced to a cin-
der. [A small package of calcined remains was here
opened and produced.] Her husband had paid ss. for the
goose. She had witnesses present, one of whom could
speak to the goose before it went into the bake-house,
and a second, who was a cook, that had immediately
seen it after it came out. Witness No. 1 was called.
The Judge : Was it a fine one ? (Laughter.) It was as
fine a goose as,ever I saw. I saw it afterwards; it was
burned, and not fit to go to anybody's table. I saw the
journeyman at the bakehouse, and showed him that it was
spoiled, when he said it could not be helped, that it was
not done a bit too much for any one, and that it was not
spoiled. Witness No. 2 was then called. She said "she
saw the goose after it was cooked." The Judge : Was it
well done ? Witness : It was done too much for any one;
it was as dry as a stick. I said this is such a goose as I
never saw before. (Laughter.) He said none of your im-
pertinence. The gentleman who officiated, (the foreman)
shoved his peel at a woman who had a child in her arms,
and he refused to apologise, as he said it was Christ-
mas time. The goose was not fit for any one ; it was
not worth a penny. The defendant : You were very
tipsy when you came. Witness No. 2: No, sir, but
you were. (Loud laughter.) The defendant said the
goose was done very properly, but as a disturbance
was made about it, he had offered to pay 45., which
he considered its fair value. Plaintiff's wife, however, had
gone on that it was not eatable, but the goose was in
court. (Sensation.) The Judge : I shan't eat any part of
it. Defendant : But it is here, properly done, and very
sweet, too. The Judge: This was in December. We are
now at the end of January. I shall be very sorry to eat
any of it. The foreman was then called, who said that the
goose had been " done" the same as other people's, and
that there had never been any complaint. The Judge (to
Mrs. Leicester) : What did you do for your dinner that
day ? She said they had to do without. His Honour
said : I think you are entitled to a verdict for ss. If it is
a little above the value of the goose, no doubt you lost
your dinner for some time. Verdict for plaintiff. The
case created considerable amusement in court.

THE BEARD MOVEMENT.—A very large meeting, con-
vened by a small placard, was held in the Lyceum, on
Tuesday, to promote the adoption of the beard and mous-
tache among the working classes and others, and after a
good deal of talking pro. and con., the resolution was car-
ried in favour of the beard and moustache, with very few
dissentients. Manchester Courier.

EDMOND'S (LITE WOMBELL'S) MENAGERIB.—It will
be seen, by reference to our advertising columns, that the
above very extensive collection of birds, animals, &c., has I
arrived in Liverpool, and is now exhibiting in the Old
Haymarket. Lovers of zoology will hail this announce-
ment with much pleasure.
ST. JouN's Cnunca T. PARTY.—On Wednesday
last the first congregational tea party in connexion with
this church was held in the Concert-hall. The decora-
tions were very beautiful and significant. The banners
represented Cranmer revoking his recantation, William
the Third crossing the Boyne, and one containing a large
open Bible, with the words " Protestant Ascendancy,
&c. The likeness of our gracious Queen, set in the centre
of these Protestant banners, was significant of the con-
nexion of the Church with the State. The Rev. W. F.
Taylor, M.A., the respected incumbent, occupied the chair.
Above an hour was passed .in friendly conversation over
tea ; after which Mr. Taylor gave a detailed statement of
their progress during the past year, and made suggestions
for consideration with reference to future plans. The
choir of St. John's led the singing, which was generally
taken up by the people, who sung several appropriate sa-
cred pieces. The Rev. George L. Ireland, curate of St.
John's, made a short, but very effective speech on educa-
tion, and threw out many valuable hints to the teachers
present. The Rev. G. F. Mathews, curate of St. John's,
made a few remarks, chiefly on the importance of united
prayer for God's blessing upon the means and instrumen-
talities used in the work of the Lord. Mr. Thomas Wor-
rall, special missionary to the Roman Catholics, was then
called upon, and made a very energetic and interesting
speech, showing the nature and success of his mission.
The report stated that the total amount collected for the
year 1853, at St. John's Church, was £541105. Old., which,
considering the circumstances of the people connected
with St. John's, was very encouraging to their excellent
pastor. After some further remarks by the chairman,
the proceedings concluded with the national anthem. The
refreshments were provided by Mr. Milbourn, and gave
great satisfaction. A social and friendly feeling was pro-
moted between the pastor and the flock, and by The
members of the flock, one towards another ; and thus
the object of the meeting was fully realized.

An action, by Mr. T. J. Halton against the Lancashire
and Yorkshire Railway Company, for damage caused by
water percolating from the railway on to the premises of
pursuer, in which a curious question of law will be raised,
was adjourned till the 21st of February.
RABBIT COURSING.—A WAGER.—John Rowbottom,
labourer, of No. 125, Upper Mann-street, brought an
action against Joseph Orme, beerseller, of Clive-street, to
recover £3, which had been deposited in his hands as a
stake to depend the issue of a wager. It appeared that in
the course of last month the plaintiff made a match with
one John Dwerryhouse, of this town, who undertook to
run his " Jack, at rabbit-hunting, against plaintiffs
" Rose," for £3 a-side. The match was to come off on
on the 2nd of January, at some place to be agreed upon,
and the stakes were deposited with the defendant. The
dog that caught and held the first five out of nine
rabbits was to be held the winner, " the rabbits to have
45 yards law." Each dog to weigh 19 lbs. There was
a condition that the match should come off between one and
two o'clock on the day appointed. The plaintiff stated
that it was mutually agreed that they should go and ask
Mr. Tilburn, inn-keeper, Cattle-market, for a field. He
got to Mr. Tilburn's at five minutes to two o'clock, when
a boy told him that the others had been, and had gone off
to the field. On his way there, he found them returning.
They had let a rabbit loose, and killed it, and, as he was
not present at the time, claimed the wager. He contended
that he was there in sufficient time, and that the other
parties had no right to act, according to the articles of
agreement (a long, formal, printed document), till the
field had been mutually agreed on. It also appeared that
the matter had been referred to Bell's Life (but plaintiff
said without his consent,) and the money paid over to
Dwerryhouse.—Mr. Grocott, who appeared for the defen-
' dant, pleaded non-liability, first, under the Bth
and 9th Victoria, cap. 109, for the suppression of
betting, &c. ; but his honour, however, decided that
the stakes were held for an " event" which had not come
off, and therefore that the clause was not applicable. He
thought the only real point in the case was, whether or not
the plaintiff really reached Tilburn's before two o'clock.

AN ACCIDENT TO THE MIDLAND NIGHT MAIL took
place at Cudworth (Barnsley) station, on Wednesday
evening, to the up night mail, from Leeds to London.
The town of Barnsley is three miles from the Cudworth
station, and the traffic to that town is worked by omnibus,
and the letters from the town are conveyed to the station
in a small cart, placed in a net, and picked up by the mail
train without any stoppage, the train not being appointed
to stop at that station. On the evening above-named, the
south letter-bags were conveyed to the station about ten
o'clock, in the small cart, and placed in the net to await
the arrival of the mail. The driver of the cart put the
horse and vehicle near the station on ground level with
the rails, and during his absence the horse and cart got
on the line, and remained there until the mail arrived,
when the train, which was proceeding at full speed (forty
miles per hour) dashed into the obstruction thus occa.
sioned, killed and mangled the horse, and smashed the
vehicle to atoms. The engine and three of the carriages
were thrown off the rails, and the line was completely
blocked up. The passengers, as might be expected, from
the suddenness of the collision and the rate at which the
train was proceeding, were all thrown from their seats,
and most of them suffered from superficial bruises. The
rails were torn up, and all trains were delayed for several
hours. _ . -

A BED OF AMBER.--In digging for a well in the coal
mines near Prague, the workmen met, between the bed of
gritstone which forms the roof of that mine and the first
layer of coals, a bed of yellow amber, apparently of great
extent. Pieces weighing from 2 lb. to alb. have been
extracted.

Romxsn PIETY.—The Espana of Madrid states that,
as Queen Maria Christina was passing along the Calle de
Alcala, she met a priest carrying the sacrament to a poor
sick man. Her Majesty immediately got out of her
carriage, made the priest enter it, and followed the vehicle
with a was candle in her hand, through the dirty streets,
to the sick man's residence ; after which she proceeded on
foot to the parish church.

Henry Edwards, who was called on behalf of the defend- iTHE Loans OP Tun TREASORY have, for the pregustd

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—Tsrs DAY.
There was but a moderate attendance at market this
day, and business generally was very flat, there being a
decline in value on almost everything. Wheat may be
quoted 441 to 6d per 701b5., and flour is 6d to 2s per barrel
lower than this day week. For oatmeal, no inquiry. In
Indian corn little doing, and for other articles quotations
may be considered almost nominal, prices generally being.
lower and few sales effected.

THE WAR IN THE EAST

(From the Times.)

Viz/gigs, MONDAY EVENING.-It is affirmed that one
part of Count Orloff's mission is to obtain permission to
send, under certain circumstances, a Russian corps from
Warsaw, by way of Presburg, to the Danubian seat of
war. His first interview with the emperor took place at
eleven o'clock yesterday morning.. He leaves Vienna for
Berlin on Wednesday or Thursday. Prince Gortschakoff
is dismissed, and ordered to return to his estates. General
Schilder, his successor, past through Pesth on Saturday,
on his way to the seat of war. Up to the 26th, nothing
new from the seat of war. A letter of the 22nd, from the
frontiers of Poland, says that General Schilder's was ac-
companied by several superior officers of engineers ; and
that he was said to be charged with throwing bridges
across the Danube, and directing the passage of that
river.

THE FLEETS IN THE BLACH SEAL—The Times re-
marks, in a short leading article, that, as the admirals
have received orders to require all Russian cruisers
to return so Sebastopol, and if it be true that a consider-
able squadron of Russian vessels is still at sea, it is not
improbable that a collision of some importance may have
taken place.
PARIS, MONDAY.—Bourse, after several fluctuations,
closed at a decline below that of Saturday. Threes, 68.76.
Four-and-half per Cents., 97.50.
