POLICE INfELLIGE,.VCE.

A SWELL PRIG.—A few days ago two well-dressed, re-
spectable-looking young men, named Grant and Dixon' were
placed at the bar of the Police-court, charged with having
picked the pocket of a lady as she was passing along Lime-
street, from church, on Sunday evening week, If it were
not fur their many delinquencies which have rendered them
rather notorious, these two individuals might escape sus-
picion, so respectable is their outward aspect, and so plausi-
ble their address and manners. Grant was, on the occasion
al uded to, committed to the House of Correction for three
months, and Dixon was discharged for want of evidence.
These knaves usually employ an attorney, that any little dis-
crepancies in the evidence may be turned to their advantage;
and they have, usually, peen very fortunate. We have only
to add, that the two •A hum we have named, though they be-

long to a numerous gang, seem to be bosom friends. as, when
both are at large, they have always been brought before the
magistrates as equal participators in guilt. On Saturday,
George Dixon, who had been so fortunate as to escape when
his friend was sent to quarters for the winter, was again
placed before Mr. Hail. A young gentleman pained filcher,
stated, that on Friday evening, on his way homeward, he
caked in at the cel•ar of Mr. Davis, al the corm r of Murray-

. _
-trees, famous fur the superior ale there sold. lie ordered a
glass of this excellent bevelage, and was standing at the
counter, enjoying it at his ease, when he felt the hand of some
person in his coat pocket. He turned round, and saw the
prisoner sanding close behind him. At the same moment
he put his hand in his pocket, and missed his silk handker-
chief. He immediately seized the prisoner by the collar, and
challenged him with the theft, being convinced, by the man-
ner in which he withdrew his hand, and put it behind his
back, that he was the individual is ho had robbed him. The

prisoner protested that he knew nothing whatever of the
matter, and appealed to the persons present whether he was
a likely rersou to steal a gentleman's pocket-handkerchief.
\Ve may remark, that the prisoner was dressed in a hand-
some new black coat, light-coloured vest, and gray panta-
loous, a totally different, Though not more fashionable, dress
than -that in which he last appeared. Mr. Pitcher' however,
was not to be deceived. He had distinctly seen the prisoner
pass something to a person behind him. He, therefore,
loosed his hold, and requested a person whom he knew to call
a police-officer. During the absence of the party on this
mission, Dixon assumed an important air, and advancing to
Mr. Filcher he said, " Do you mean to maintain, Sir, that I
have stolen your handkerchief ?" Mr. Pilcher replied, "Yes,
1 do." The prisoner, upon this, struck him a violent blow
on the mouth, exclaiming, "Feel in your pocket, Sir, and
there you will find your handkerchief, though von persist iu
saying that I have stolen it." Mr. Filcher, though he felt
convinced of the impossibility of the statement being true,
felt in his pocket, and there, sure enough, he found his hand-
kerchief, which must have been replaced by some of the
gang. lie was convinced it was not there a few n,inutes be-
fore, as he had searched for it with some anxiety, The cel-
lar, it appeared, was nearly full of people at the time. Mr.
Davenport, who appeared for the prisoner, cross-examined
the witness at considerable length, but nothing material was
elicited. The prisoner, when asked what he had to say in
hiS defence, spoke not of the charge, but said, since his last
committal he had been exceedingly ill, and had been attended
by three or four medical men from the Dispensary. He had
been entirely unable to stir out of doors. Yet, he did not
attempt to deny that he was taken by the policeman in Davis's
cellar Mr. Hall said, he.wished he could induce both him
and his friend to quit Liverpool. He was committed to the
Borough Gaol for three months.
EMBEZZLEMENT. —A youth of respectable exterior was
placed before Mr. Hall, at the Police-office. on Saturday,
charged with having embezzled several sums of money be-
longing to his employers, Messrs. Pritchard and Co., oil
merchants and drysalters. The prisoner, before he was
plac..eil at the bar, attracted attention, from the tnental an-
guish which he was evidently suffering. He is well cnn-
fleeted ; and we are informed that his friends had offered to
pay the whole amount of his defalcations, if the parties
wonld forego the prosecution. Circumstances, which it is
unnecessary to detail, as well as a regard for justice, ren-
dered it impossible to comply with this request. He was

. .
taken into custody by constable M'Comb. who, on his arrival
at Bridewel!, requested him, in compliance with the usnal
custom, to produce the contents of his pockets. Ile placed
on the table a pocket-book. ten shillings and nine-pence, and
sure memorandums. 111•Coinli, thinking he had not pro-
duced all in his possession, searched him. Nothing was

found in his pockets ; but .in his hand M 'Comb found a
bottle, which Le grasped, in the hope that it would escape
detection. This bottle contained what, on examination,
proved to he strong prussic acid. M'Comb q,nestioned him
as to his reason for having poison in his possession. He said
he had purchased it sumo time since for the purpose of trying
experiments on cats. He would not tell where he bought it,
nor would he answer ary questions as to his reasons for not
delivering it up with the other articles. M'Comb has endea-
voured to find out where it was procured, but he has not yet
been successful. Mr. James Smi!b, cash-keeper with Messrs.
Pritchard and Co., deposed that the prisoner had been in the
service of the latter nearly three Years. His occupation was
that of collecting-clerk, and his duties were to go about the

town g,theringin accounts, and to receive money from any
one who might call at the counting-house when he was there.
About a fortnight since, he was sent to die. Joseph Cannon,
druggist, St. James•street , with an account, the amount of
which was £l9 18s. 1(1. He returned, and. stated that Mr.
Cannon was not in. Mr. Smith sent the prisoner again six
days after. lie again returned, and (lid not deliver in the
money, but said Mr, Cannon would look into it. Two or
three days subsequently, Mr. Smith sent another clerk, who
brought back an account for the sum of £lB 13s. which had
on it a receipt in the name and handwriting of the prisoner.
Shortly after the arrival of the young man, the prisoner en-
tered the office. Mr. Smith showed him the receipt, and
asked him if it were correct. He said it was. Mr. Smith
told Mr Pritchard of the. discovery they' had made, and the
latter ordered him into custody. Several similar cases were
discovered, but only two were brought forward, that above
detailed and the Wowing :—A clerk of Messrs. Pritchard
and Co. went to Mr, Armstrong, tallow chandler, St. James'.
street, and presented two accounts' one for the sum of £2l
3s 61, the other for £2O 12a. 9.1. Mr. Armstrong produced
receipts iu the prisoner's handwrizing. It was proved that
the money bad not been paid in. Mr. Pritcbard, when he
discovered that these accounts had been received by the

soner, asked him if there were any more. Ile replied,
"No." It subsequently turned out that this was false, the
prisoner having received several other sums. Mu. Cannon
and Mr. Armstrong ptovee th4lt they had paid the money to
the prisoner, whom they well knew. When M•Comb took
the prisoner into custody', he asked him what he had done
with the money. His reply was, ''l eaunot tell." The pri
boner is a good-looking youth, shout seventeen or eighteen
years old. Ile h,tl nothing to say in his de.fence,
.and,..was
committed for trial, tne witnesses being bound in recogni-
canoes ofso each to appear and give evidence.
FoNriNk.ss Pot: OLo CusTosts -- An old
_gentleman,

named Stiipiing, appea;e4l on Saturday, before Mr. Hall, tr

answer a chaise under v‘hich he had t;eeu hummoned by in-
formation froth one of Ole officers of police. The latter

stated, that on the night of the sth of icovenihssr, the de•
fendaut placed a tar-barrel in the ❑riddle of Bedford street;

- .
and.set fire to it, thereby causing great noise and disorder in
the neighbourhood, Not content with this, he was letting
off squibs and crackers in the street during ihe night. Mr.
Hall:—" Well sir, what have you to say to this ?" Mr.
Stripling:—" Why, I have to say, that -I've been in the
habit of doing it tor twenty years, and that I don't know of
any law that there is to prevent it." Mr. Hall:—" Fortu-
nately there is a law against it." Mr. Stripling:—" Then
I'm sorry that the old law is abolished. There's too many

newfangled laws now. One mustal do as one likes." "I'm
sorry to see a man at your time of life so foolish. You must
pay 20s. and costs." Mr. Stripling :—" I won't pay • I'll
appeal. I'm not accustomed to paying 20s. and costs." A
new case was called, hut the defendant continued to talk
about the deprivation of amusement, the innovations of mo-
dern law, and the customs of our forefatlers, and protesting,,
that he would not pay a shilling. Mr. Hall You had
better retire, sir." Defendant—(thrusting his hands vio-
lently into his breeches pocket) :—"I suppose I might as
well pay it and hare done with it, or I don't know what may
come next." The defendant hereupon threw down the mo-
ney with a jerk, and retired grumbling from the court.

Eneke's cornet was on Wednesday visible to the naked

EXTRAORDINARY LEAP.—A greyhound bitch, the pro-
perty of Mr. J. Bonstead, of Sedbergh, haying been taken to
Killington Hall on Thursday week for the purpose or cours-
ing, was shut up in a barn, when the poor animal, not relish-
ing the restraint, mounted to the top of a large hay mow,
and finding a hole just under the rigging of the barn, with-
out further ceremony bounded to the ground. The distance
from the hole to the ground bring measured, was found to
lie thirty. four feet. The bitch was nut the least injured by
the leap, but actually ran and won her course soon afterwards.

THE CusnrEitisTs.—On Wednesday evening, a public
meeting was held by torch light, in a brick croft, near the
Association Chapel, Rochdale; Joshua Haigh in the chair.
It was addressed, in very intemperate language, by Feargus
O'Connor, Stephens, Taylor, and others, when the "charter"
was agreed upon.— James Taylor, of Spud:toil, was elected
the delegate to the national convention. There was but a
very slender meeting, consisting of about five hundred

Mahon promptly came to his assistance : the old soldier
shook the dirt off his cloak, and rode away, nothing injured—
he is accustomed to tumbles.

It would appear tnat the breach between Lord Durham

THREE PERSONS FOUND DEAD.—On Monday last, two
men and a boy were found dead, in the neighbourhood of
Bayswater, under the hill called High-street, betwixt Kent-
mere and Ullswater. They were discovered by a shepherd's
dog, which gave token to its master of having found some-
thing unusual, and on his approach to the spot the melan-
choly scene presented itself to his view. They proved to be
three persons of the names of Huddleston, Macgearv, and a
son of the latter, a lad about thirteen; the first a tailor, be-
longing to the village of SuaVely, near Kendal: the elder
Macgeary a small farmer in Kentmere. It appears they bad
gone early on Saturday morning to angle in the mountain
tarn of Hayswater, which abounds with fish of an excellent
flavour, and it is conjectured that they sat themselves down
in the midst of a heavy snow storm, and being overcdme Ly
drowsiness, had sunk into sleep and fallen victims to the in-
clemency of the day.---Lancaster Paper.
A Nics POlNT.—ThomasCliff, the keeper of a leer-house,
at Townsend, Warrington, appeared before the magistrates
on Wednesday, to answer an information charging him with
keeping open his house for the sale of beer, at three o'clock
on Sunday morning, the 28th ult. Povey, the police con-
stable, deposed to having seen a boy in an entry adjoining
the defendant's house, on the morning in question, who told
hint he was waiting for John Thomason, who was gone to the
defendant's house, and saw a light in the cellar. The de-
fendant's wife was drawing sonie liquor into a half-gallon
jug from a cask. Shortly ufter she_opened the door and
looked round to see if the police were watching her. Wit-
ness then saw a man with a half-gallon jug in his hand,
which the defendant's wife took from him on seeing witness.
Witness saw some froth on the jug, and could swear. that

the liquor was not buttermilk. The defence set up and
proved by the evidence of one witness was, that the liquor
seen by the officers was nothing more or less than buttermilk,
which the man spoken of had gone to the defendant's house
to purchase, in order to make himself and his wife some por-
ridge. The bench, in the absence of positive evidence of
the defendant's guilt, dismissed the information on payment
of costs, Mr. Halland Mr. Gaskell recommending the police.
man to be more particular for the future, this being the
second case that week in which evidence had been called to
prove that he was mistaken.—Manchester Courier.

THE NAM—The state of our navy begins to excite public
attention. Some alarm exists as to the projects of Russia.
There is a probability of war, and as the navy has been neg-
lected through 23 years of peace, it seems now to be suddenly
discovered that the right arm of our safety is weak and de-
crepit!, if not paralyzed. We are at issue with Russia as to
the affairs of Persia, and to-day it is stated that the large
naval farce collected at Sebastopol, and of which the effici-
ency has lately been much vaunted, was expected at Con-
stantinople. The English fleet under Admiral Stopford
has been ordered to prepare for an emergency, and at Con-
stantinople, it was expected, should the Russian fleet enter
the Bosphorus, that the British fleet would pass the Darda-
nelles. A collision between them is, in fact, not so unex-
pected as was the collision between the British and Turkish
fleets at Navarino. The Russian fleet is said to consist of
two ships of 120 guns, and six of 84—a formidable fleet; but
Russia is not able, we believe, to collect a force in that
neighbourhood at which Admiral Stopford need feel the
least alarm. At the same time, the possibility of a war with
Russia, which must be carried on chiefly by our ships anni-
hilating the commerce of Russia, and the formidable fleet
possessed by France, make the present condition of our
navy, now again, after many )ears of neglect, one of intense
public interest —Sun.

THE MACINTOSH CLOAKS.—These Outer garments are now
all the rage throughout ►he country—go a here one may, old
and young, great and small, male anu female—well formed
or deformed—all are to by seen enveloped in these most co-
mically cut, impenetrable habiliments. The fashions of
these are as various as the tastes of their wearers. Some are

to be seen walking about in them, as if they had been pitched
into a bottomless sack, which was, then, tied at the mouth to
prevent them from advancing or retreating.—The shape of
others—" if shape it can be called which shape has none"—
bears a nearer resemblance to that of an ill-made smock-frock,
than any thing ever destined for the "human form divine."
Some are made exceedingly capacious, others inconveniently
confined.—Of the former, many fit their occupants as the
sentry-box does the soldier—touching nowhere.—Of the lat-
ter, one would be inclined to imagine, that their wearers' were
hide bound, or that the composition—in the process of "the
fabrics" as they are called, was adapted to them in puris na-
tural/Gus. It would seem that they were intended as a bur-
lesque on the professors of the Art of Cutting, ur that all the
patterns of a tailors board had been first thrown into confu
sion, and then a few wete drawn at random, which united as
chance might direct were to be the prototypes of these gro-
tesque dresses. Be this as it may they are the fashion, and
that is enough.—They are, besides, more useful than orna-
mental, and as winter always begins to give very sensible and
regular signs of his approach, it is but natural that all who
possibly can, should provide against his inclement visitation.
Whea class of men, therefore, more require the protection of
Macintosh's impenetrable fabrics than those much exposed
indiVidual., who are invariably to he found,—blow high blow
law, be the weather foul or fair, in readiness at Piccadi!ly,

mestic comforts for the public accomodation. Who so hard-
hearted as not to sympathize with the sufferings of tho"Se ten-
innocents—the "sweet little cherubs that sit up aloft, when
rudely assailed by the pelting of the pitiless stone?—it was
then, a gratifying spectacle for the compassionate. to behold
them, or the greater portion of them, turn out a few mornings
ago. on their parade, opposite the Infirmary, in Hi Macintosh
Uniform. For the comfort of cabmen or any other class of
her Majestv's subjects, it is to be regretted hat the sensibilities
of public officers are nut so easily affected. Tnis simultaneous

suspected that a screw was loose somewhere. and.lost no time
in making tiie necessary enquires. Keswick, assisted by
Green and Irwin, soon discovered whence • the supplies were
furnished to the corps. It appeared that a coachman named
Harrison. now confined in the hospital with a broken leg,
purchased a quantity (admitted to be no less than '2O) of the
Macintosh coats, from a person named John Booker, who is
in the employment of Messrs. 13ir1ey, Macintosh and Co.—
at the price of 4s. each; and that be (Harrison) sold them to
his brethren of the whip, at I6s. each. Bunker on being ques-
tioned respecting the manner in which he came by them, at
tint denied all knowledge of the matter, but on being told
that all was known, he admitted having stolen the coats from
the warehouse in Cambridge-street, Chorlton-upon-Medlock.

He had always access to the warehouse,—and aavniled himself
of it to commit the present fraud. lie took the coats singly,

A TENDIin Fl USBAND.—Ayoun named William

. -
Bickerton, who lives in Joddrell-street, was brought up be-
tore R. J. J. Norrevs and J. B. Smith, Esqrs. at the New
Bailey, yesterday, charged with threatening to shout his wife,
under the following circumstances:—The prisoner's wife
stated that she and her husband frequently quarrelled, and
that he had often threatened to take away her life. On
Thursday they had again been quarrelling, and he went out
and returned again with a loaded pistol, and said be would
shoot her. She told him she would fetch the police to him;
upon which he swore at her, and said he would prevent that;
at the same time he snapped the pistol, but it missed fire.—A
young man stated that he was present at the time, and he
believed, if the pistol had gone miff, the woman would have
been shot.—Sawlev, the beadle, said the pistol was loaded
with powder and ball ; and, on inquiry, it had been found,
that he had bought the pistol not long before he attempted
to shoot. his wife.—The prisoner said his wife had provoked
him, and he only intended to frighten her.—The magistrates
said they should commit him to answer the charge at the
sessions, but would admit him to bail on his finding two
sureties of £2O each to appear.- As no sureties were foith-
coming, he was lucked up.—Manchester Guardian.

EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVKRY ON HOMAN SKELETONS.--
Dr. Anima, of Wallingford, has written an account of some
most interestimr discoveries which have been recently made
at Shooter's Bill, near Pangbourn, Berks, on the line of the
Great Western Railway. Several Itunian skeletons, in a
high state of preservation, have been disinterred, which are
the remains of Roman soldeis, who fell, in all probability,
during their sanguinary conflicts with the ancient Britons
Small sepulchral urns of rude workmanship, but elegant and
classical devices, were in the graves, and upwards of forty
Roman coins, of gold, silver, and brass, of the reigns of Do-
mitian, Constantine, Julian the Apostate, Constantius, Gra-
cianus, Licinius or Lupiciuius, the Pro-praetor, (who was
invested with regal authority), and several others. Spear-
heads, battle-axes, and spurs of British and Homan manu-
facture, were luau found; and some of the graves contained
considerable masses of charcoal, without bones, indicating
that funeral honours had been paid to the deceased warrior,
and that. hi; remains had beets burned previous to interment.
Some of the coins are in good preservation; but others are
worn, cankered, and illegible. The bones are well preserved,
having lain in the dry gravel, about four feet from the sur-
face,immediately overlying the chalk; and one of the skulls
appears heavier and more consolidated than natural, owing
probably to its being in the incipient state of the process of
petrefaction. —Standard.

DR 11-110T.—KVAN'S PATENT.—On Wednesday last, a fun-
gus pit was opened in the yard of the Anti-Dry-rot Company,
David-street, for the purpose of exhibiting the effect of
Kyan's process for the preservation of timber and canvas
against dry-rot. There were present the boroughreeve and
constables, several architects and builders, and many other
gentlemen. The result of the experiment, though the period
of trial was only twelve months, fully confirms all that has
been stated of the efficacy of the process. We were peseta
on the 7th of November last year, when the various sub-
tances, submitted to trial, were deposited in the pit. They
consisted of twelve planks,(six Kyanisedand six unprepared,)
two nail bags, two pieces of common wrapper, two pieces of
inch rope, two pieces of packing rope, and two balls of twine,
one piece of each sort being prepared. The wood consisted
of spruce fir, English poplar, American elm, American ash,
American birch, and American oak.—On opening the pit,
Mr. B ackie, the agent of the company, first exhibited the
bails of twine. That which had not been Kyanised was so
completely rotten, as to have the appearance of black soil;
that which had been prepared was, on the contrary, as pet,
feet and as strong as when deposited. The unprepared pack-
ing rope fell into pieces on being brought out of the pit; but
the Kyanised piece had not undergone any change. The
prepared inch rope, except a small piece of it, probably the
the patt held by the person is ho dipped it in the tank, was
also sound; whilst the unprepared was quite decayed. The
same results were also observable on the wrappers and nail
bags. Nothing, indeed, could be more satisfactory than the
results as regarded the canvas anti ropes. A silk handker-
chief, which had been dipped in the tank, was also quite.sound
when taken out of the pit. The experiment upon the timber
was highly satisfactory. As the pieces had been deposited
only twelve months, the progress of decay had not been very
great upon the unprepared wood; all the unprepared pieces,
however, were, to a certain extent, infected with dry-lot,
whilst those that had been Kyanised was perfectly free from
it. The result of the experiment gave great satisfaction to
the spectators, a large propur!ion of wheal, previous to 'heir
leaving the yard, signed a testimonial to that effect. In order,
however, to give the public further evidence of the efficacy
of the process, Mr. Blackie determined to submit the wool,
and other substances, to the test of another year's exposure
to the decaying influence of the fungus pit. Accord
yesterday at noon, the same pieces of wood, prepared and un-
Prenared, end the prepared rope, were again deposited in the
pit, and along with them a few yards of calico, one half of
which was Kyanised. be pit was then closed, and the key
delivered to the care of one of the gentlemen present. It
will he again opened at the expiration of twelve months, when
the efficacy of the process will, we doubt not, be established
by further proof. —Manchester Courier.

GREAT IMPROVEMENTS IN GUN-LOCKS.—An Italian,

is emitted at the mouth of the barrel.

CAPTAIN TCLLOCH'S REPORT OF THE SICKNESS AND'
MORTALITY OF THE TROOPS IN THE WEST INDIES.—
The first and most startling of the facts established by this
report is, that between 1803 and 1836 upwards of 33,000 of
cer fellow-soldiers have perished in the West Indies. This
is exclusive entirely of the casualities by warfare, and the
deaths wnich took place in Martinique, Guadaloupe, Surinam,
and other colonies captured during the last war, and ceded
at the peace; it is also exclusive of the deaths of black
troops. Consequeutiy, during these thirty-three years more
than four times the whole force has been cut off by disease
alone; and the average duration of the life of every soldier
sent to that climate has not exceeded seven years and a half.
—United Service Journal.
The notorious Acland, the firebrand of Bristol notoriety,
arrived in Huddersfield this week, as a lecturer on teetotalism,
and so far imposed 'on the committee of the Temperance So-
ciety as to induce them to patronise him, and got bills
printed for a lecture on Thursday evening, but before that
time his character was d:scovered, and they refused to have
any thing more to do with him. This subject having failed,
he applied to a few whigs, offering to lecture in favour of
the new poor law, which he describes as the best law ever
passed, consequently, to raise a few shillings, he proposes
giving a lecture on that subject at Is. admission.—Leeds
Intelligencer.

AucrioN EXTRAORDINARY.—On Saturday week, a female
dressed in very gay attire, was sold by public auction in the
!Market-place of Bridlington, The competition was rather
brisk, and she was finally knocked down to a dealerin fish

for the moderate suer. (..4 two guineas. This disgusting ex-
hibition attracted a large audience; and a poor auctioneer,
who was dilating upon the qualities of a post-horse, Which
he was offering to the notice of the public, suddenly found
himself deserted by his hearers, who moved off by common
consent to the more novel and attractive sale of -the lady,
leaving the auctioner and his horse to themselves.— York
Chronicle.

AN AMATEUR PtscAToa.-Joseph Jackson, .a lad about
fifteen years of age, was placed before the magistrates of
Warrington, on Monday week, charged with damaging a
cart-horse, the property of his master, Mr. Daniel -Griffiths.
The prisoner, it. appeared, had pulled pretty nearly every
hair from the tail of his master's horse, and had so altered its
appearance as to transfoitn its fine switch rail into an elegant
" rat." The.prisoner's excuse was his need of a new supply
of fishing lines, and a commission which he had been re-

quested to execute for another of Isaac Waltou's followers.
The horse was damaged to the amount of fifty shillings; but
on the prisoner expressing his contrition, he was convicted
in the fine of 15s. and ss. costs.
SUICIDE AND EXTENSIVE DEFALCATIONS.—The inhabi-
tants of Islington, London, have been in an extraordinary
state of excitement, in consequence of the suicide, by bang-
ing, of Mr. Hobert Oldershaw, who was for thirty-five years
the vestry-clerk of that parish, and who held other high and

important situations. Scenes of themost heartrending kind
resulted from his death, as many who believed that they were
independent of the world ascertained that they were penni-
less. His stewardships were inumerable, and for many years
he had been actuary of the Islington Savings' Bank. One
lady, named Chick, residing in Cloudesley-square, some.
years ago intrusted £15,000 with the deceased, to purchase
stock in the funds, which he did; and ever since he has
regularly half-yearly paid her the interest. By the persuasion
of her friends, she afterwards made inquiries at the Bank of
England, and was informed, that 14,000 had been sold out,
leaving a balance in her favour of £l,OOO, which is all she
now possesses.

BEER versus WATER. Samuel Hamblett, the landlord of
a beer house in Warrington, appeared before the magistrates
on Monday, to answer an information, charging him with
keepiug his house open on Sunday morning, the 28th Oc-
tober, before the hour allowed by law.—Povey, one of the
Warrington police, deposed to having seen, at the early
hour of three o'clock in the morning, two women coming out
of the defendant's back door, carrying a half-gallon can,
containing something having white froth upon it.—Mr. Bea. • ,
moot, solicitor, on behalf of the defendant, called the two-
ladies spoken of in the policeman's evideuce, and they botha
swore that the can contained nothing bnt rain water, which
they had fetched from the defendant's yard, for the purpose
of washing clothes fur their children, in order to send them
clean to the Sunday-school the same morning. • Both wit-
nesses denied having been in the defendant's house, although
Povey spoke to having seen them through the keyhole,
talking to the defendant's wife.—The magistrates dismissed .
the information.—Manchester Courier.

The Earl of Stamford has ordered all the cottages on his
estates to be repaired at his own expense, whilst heretofore
the different parishes used to repair them. For the future,
however, it seems the present occupiers will be rated, and

possession of the cottages left to tbeir successors; and the
Earl has, in addition, ordered that the poor tenantry shall be
supplied with materials for building or enlarging their cot-
tages, in order that cottagers with large families may be
made more comfortable, provided they can pay for the work-
manship. The poor labourers have also had small allotment-
of land let to them at is. per hundred yards, to grow po•
tatoes and other vegetables upon.—Leicester Chronicle.

A prospectus for a new steam navigation company, entitled 7 ix".
the "Pacific Steam Navigation Company," has appeared, ;'1 "s,

with the countries on tie shores of the Pacific. The object
of ibis company is to establish steam navigation along the.,

pal ports in Chili, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and the west
coast of New Grenada, and, in conjunction with her Majes- "
ty's packets.in the Atlantic, to promote a more rapid and re- • .

The corporation of Birmingham is to consist of a mayor, ;is- • •
teen aldermen, and

POACHING FISH.—On Saturday, Mr. Samuel Hardy, of
Agden, appeared before E. J. Lloyd, Esq., charged on an
information with using a net for the purpose of destroying
fish, in a brook running between Agden and Dunham. Two
under gamekeepers, in the employ of the Earl of Samford
and Warrington, proved having seen the defendant fishing
with a net on the night of the 25th October. The defendant
pleaded that he had permission from Mr. Harrison,
.farmer,
of Agden, to fish in the stream in question. He was, how-
ever,
unable to prove any right possessed by Mr. Harrison, •
it being stated by Mr, Reeves, the noble •earl's bead keeper,
that the water was strictly preserved. The defendant was
convicted in the penalty of two pounds and costs, and in de-
fault,
to be committed for one month to the House of Cor-
rection. The defendant at first hesitated paying the fine, .
but on being told-that the half of his month at the House of
Correction. would bevoted to the labour of the tread-mill,
and the other to the diversion of pickingoakum, he following
the advice which says " discretion is. the better part of
valour," reluctantly drew forth the money.—Manchester

M aousous• ESCA PE. —Underneath one of the arches of
the large timber btidge, now erecting over .Willington•dean
for the Newcastle and North Shields Railway, a temporary
blacksmith's shop is erected, in which an eccentric old cha-
racter, ••••
named Watdle, usually works. A few days ago, du-
ring the high winds, a large three-inch plank slipped through
the timbers from the top of the arch, a distance of 80 feet, .
and entering through the roof of the shop where the old man '
was at work, fell endways on the shaft of the hammer with-
which he was at the time heating a piece of heated iron. •
The hammer•shaft was broken in two, leaving the, end of
in his hands. A young lad stood amazed at the miraculous
escape of the old man, whilst he coolly took up another hain-
mer and re-commenced beating the iron, unwilling to lose •
his heat. On being congratulated on his luck in not havinsgots,
been knocked to atoms by the large plank, he very innocently.
exclaimed, "Aye, Mister, but a miss is as good as a toile!''— „.•

SWINDLING.—Richard 'and Ann Swayne were placed at
the bar of the New Bailey, Manchester, yesterday, charged
with obtaining money under false pretences front Mrs. Mac
Vicar, of Manchester, and Mrs. Johnson, of Liverpool. In •
consequence of information received by Lipsett the police-
officer, from a member of the Provident Society, that a fe-
male named Shea had received money from Mr. M•Vicar, •
under suspicions circumstances, he was induced to suppose
that this Mrs. Shea was no other than the wife of the notori-
ous Richard Swayne, who came before the public notice in
Manchester, some year or two ago. He accordingly began
to make inquiries respecting their residence, and having
learned that they lived in Joddrell-street, he was proceeding
through Back Ringsstreet, when he met Mrs. S. on her way.,
home—whither he took leave to accompany her. She in.
formed him that her husband was in Leeds, but on-reaching
the house the gentleman was at home. She then informed..
her •
her husband th,,t a policeman was waiting for him, and she.
expressed her sorrow for having been persuaded to solicit the.
money from Mrs. M•Vicar. Lipsett intimated to both that
they must consider themselves his prisoners. Swayne en-
deavoured to persuade him of the illegality of the arrest, but
his argument was fruitless. it appeared that some time ago
he called upon a Mrs. Johnson, of Liverpool, and stated that .
he was in great want of a situation,—and that owing to this •
he and his wife and family werc. in the greatest distress, Im-
poSed upoo by his isle, and with a view to relieve them, Mrs. .
J. asked him fur his wife's address here, and a few days after .
she received a letter from Mrs. J., enclosing one for .Mrs.
M`Vicar, which was delivered, requesting the lady to pay sa. -
.a week for the spsce of six weeks. These facts being proved,
the male prisoner was asked what he had to say in his 47 ..
fence. admitted haying assumed the name of Shea,
which he. was compelled to do, as in consequence of the.man-
tier in•which his c hat acter and fair faMe had been lagerated• •
here, it was impossible fur him to procure any employment
in the name of Swayne. He and his lady were remanded
till Monday, to enable Mrs. Johnson to appearand give evi- .
dente against them.—ilanclrester Courier.
