'We allude specifically to the " Chureh 'of England School
Master's Reading Society." It is far from our wish •to
encourage any misrepresentation on the subject of• this so-
ciety, its intimated by the letter of Mr. Staples, the secre-
tary of " The Liverpool Teachers' Book Society." And, with
regard to the motives which have induced the formation of
the Church of England Society, and the secession of its mem-
bers from the former, it is with much pleasure, that we are nosy
enabled to prove that the secession has not arisen from any
factious spirit, but that it has been founded on principle to ren-
der the undertaking in all respects worthy of its design, and
honourable to the Church Establishment,, with which it is more
intimately connected, whilst the third resolution unanimously
passed at the meeting, held on the 2,1 September inst., stamps
the friendly disposition, under which the members of the new
society desire to continue, and to co-operate with their bre-
thren, the teachers of the dissenting schools. The friends of
order• and rational religion can desire nothing more ; and we
argue, that much good will arise from the change—that the
spirit of emulation to do good, rather than the spirit of rivalry
to create disSention or jealousy, will be evinced by both societies.
The cause of true religion—of religion witho it bigotry or into-
lerance, can never be thoroughly promoted, whether in the
schools of establishment or the dissenting interest, without a
system of good government—religion and morals must go
hand in hand in this respect—the divine founder of the Chris.
tian religion was a perfect pattern of moral conduct; and in
an age when freethinking in religion, and licentiousness in
morals, are pushed forward in a given ratio, with mental culti-
vation in other respects, the Church• of England, or rather her
accredited guardians, cannot, with any consistency or propriety
of purpose, sanction the unrestricted reading of works, which
inculcate principles entirely at variance with revelation, or
attempt by their plausibily to establish a code of morals upon
a foundation, which is altogether irrespective of scripture autho-
rity: It is under, these views, we conceive, purely, that our
worthy rectors have given their sanction to the formation of
this society. If the schoolmaster be abroad in our days, accord-
ing to the dictum of a certain noble and learned personage,
it is proper that he should also be at home, in all the requisites
of his honourable and useful vocation ; for next to the Christian
pastor, a more useful and more needful character hardly exists
in a civilized community, his responsibily and utility beinepro
portionate with the presumed intelligence of the age—we, o
course, refer not to the ideal schoolmaster of Lord Brougham;
We mean, strictly to describe a schoolmaste- as he ought to be

LIVERPOOL POL

DISGUSTING LANGUAGE.—Om Thursday, at the Policesofilee,
.
a female of the towneumned Ellen Burrows, was placed before
the magistrates cilerged by a policeman with having, the night
before in Chapel-street, whilst along with several other girls
made use of the most disgusting and revolting langnage. The'
prisoner, in defenceesaid she was- snuck and ill-used by the
officer. Tee policeman denied this, and said he had ordered her
away a peat many times : she was very tipsy. • Mr. Hall said
partiesenight depend upon it that such improper lenguage would
not be allowed. Ho should never pass over any person malting
use of improper and disgusting language in the street.. She must
go for seven days to the House of Correction. The officers have
orders to apprehend ail peisons making use of such language.
WINDOW SMASHING—DISGRACEFUL Casa.—On Thursday;
at the Police-office, a man apparently a respectable artisan,
Wahines the very picture of despondency and wretchedness, was
placed before the magistrates charged with having broken five
ponce' of glass in the window of a house behinging to a man of
the name of Bell. • A respectablyolressed young 'man named
Gulliver, with great flippaocy of, manner, deposed that the night
before he heard a dreadful smash in a room over head in Bell's
house, where he lodged, arfti shortly .after the same noise was
repeated; he then ran up stairs to see whit was the matter, mid
saw the poi oner running away out of the door; he followed
him and called "W tc 1," and he was taken into custoly by one
of the port em On going into his lodging-room up stairs, he
found tiro pants of glass broken in the window Bell corrobo-
rated this statemeut as to the damage. Gulliver deposed that
the value of the panes was about 2s. fid„ each. He was only
the lodger of Bell, and was no way interested. The prisoner,
.on being asked what he had to say to the charge, made no re-
ply. .A female here started forward, who said she was the sister
of the prisoper, and, with much excitement, said she could state
the particulars. After baying been admonished by Mr. Hall to
be calm, she deposed that Bell was harbouring the prisoner's
wife. ell's and the prisoner's wife were sisters, and the pri-
soner's wife ran away with a man whom she liked better, and
who lodged with Bell. "She liked hint better than the prisoner,
and went to live with him; and thus let' her go if she liked."
Mr. Hall—" You are a very sensible woman. Who is that
man ?" Witness (looking round)—"'Phis is the man; Gulli-
ver is his name. The fact is, my brother has been completely
ruined by this Man; he has seduced his wife, and completely
rendered him unfit for any thing,. and my brother's wife now
lives withhim." Gulliver—"lt is false. lam given credit for
favours which is have never received." Bell—" She does not.
live with us at all. You may believe my word; my neme is
Bell." (A laugh.) The sister—".He has inflicted a very-seri-
ous injury on his own wife, whom he has leff, as well as distroy-
ing the domestic peace of my brother. He is a married man."
Gulliver--" If your worship is disposed to entertain the ques-
tion, Mr. Evans can state the circumstances of the case to you."
Mr. elall—".The' fact is enough for me. I recollect the ('Sr..
cumstances, and they are certainly buy thing but creditable to
you." Mr. Evans said he knew nothing more about the cir-
cumstances than that Mr. Gulliver allowed his wife ss. a week,
which she gotat.the.public-office. Mr. Halt said that Gulliver
cerainly dal not come there in a.situation to prefer a complaint.
Fle oueht to be ashamed to show his thee in that court. ;Gulli-
ver reiterated that. it was not true. Mr. Hall—" You have
almost driven the man mad by your behaviour to hint in the
first instance, and it is quite..disgraceful to you to appear to pre-
fer such a charge. You ought to..be ashamed to show your face
in court." (Addressing the prisoner.) But you have no right
to take the law into your own hands, and break
.the complain-
ant's windows; that is not .the way to help yourself. You liAve
committed en illegal act, and you-must take the consequences.
1 evil take the
.damesse at 2s. a pane, and trill allow -you a fort-
eight to pay it in. if you do not pay thee, you will be behav-
ing ill to me." The prisoner agreed to pay the money in the
tone, and was di c u rgsd.
tiewesec, .w Reimer LICENSE.—On Friday, at the Police-
Ace, a. man uatnedWalter Mooney was charged wiih hawking
spy-gasses without a license. Alexander, one of the police-
men, stated that on the previous day he had seen the prisoner
hawking spy-glasses, which he. was endeavouring to sell. A
gentleman to whom he offered his goods gave him in charge,
and said he would appear at the Police-office
.to prefer. it. The
prisoner, on being called on for his defence, said be hail several
small children and a wife in a sickly state, and the only means
he had of providing for them was by selling such trifles as tie
had offered the day before. Mr. Hall said such proceedings
must be put a stop to, and committed the prisoner for seven
days to the House of Correction at Kirkdale. At the conclusion
of the case Mr. Hall inquired if the address of Johnson, the
informer against hawkers, was known, as-he wished to see hint.
Ile had heard that he had taken Bs. from a prisoner, in addi-
tion to the goods he was exposing for sale, who had beets charged
by h'm to the police-officer for hawking, and had nut returned
either ts the prisoner, or given them up to the proper authori-
ties. Such conduct should not be permitted. To the credit of
the police force he ought to state that Johnson was not em-
ployed oe that force, but by some private individuals. Ains-
worth the constable was then ordered to procure the attendance
of Johns .11.
On Saturday Johnson the informer appeared at the office
according to Mr. Hall's request, Mt. Hall then told him that
a .person who some time .ago had begn convicted of hawking
goods without a licence had written him word that he (John-.
son) had got his money and goOds, and would not return either.
Johnson ieo!ied that he left his address in Bridewell, and told
the officers that he would deliver up the goods as soon as they
were app dLed for. Mr. Itall said the right course for him -to
pursue was to bring all the goods he seizedond deliver them up
to the officers is Bridewell. Every thing which lie seized ought
to be delivered up and entered in a book kept for the purpose in
Bridewell. Johnsen said that in future he would do so, and
that the applicant had now got both his money and the goods.
He had, however, since found him exposing the same goods • for
sale on the dock walls, and had seized them again, and told this
lest any fault should be found with him; and it was his inten-
tion to lay another information against the man. Mr. Hall
said the act of parliament did not authorize him to seize the
goods • it only authorized him to 'taring the man before the ma-
gistrates on a warrant issued on Isis information. He must lay
an information in the regular way; he had no business to seize
the goods. He (Mr. Hall) was bound to prevent the illegal
selling of goods, but he was also bound to prevent oppression.
Johnson said he would not do wrong if he knew it. Here the
matter ended.
AeSAae•e.—On Saturday, at the Police-office, a brawny-look-
ing Irish cattle-driver, named Patrick Maloy, was brought
before the magistrates charged with having violently assaulted
a warehouseman named John Hogan, and cut his head with a
shillelagh. - The complainant, who appeared with his head
wrapped in a bandage. and with several large plaisters over cuts
on his head, deposed that the afternoon before, as he was going
down Temple-street with a friend, he met the prisoner driving
a sheep.. The sheep passed close to his legs, and he made a
remark tee his friend on the quality of its wool, and.felt the wool
on its back as it was passing, when the prisoner told him if he
did that again, he would serve him as he served the sheep, at
the same tune thumping the sheep on with his stick; and, as he
was passing down the street, he called him a "prig." He
(complainant) asked him if he knew what a " prig" was, when
the prisoner raised his stick, and struck him two violent blows
on the head, cutting open his temples, by which he lost much
blood. The prisoner, in defence, said, " I was cumin' down
Key-street, and when opposite Temple-court wid a sheep o' my
masthers; that man takes houd o' the sheep. Do you know
that sheep ?! No, I don't,' sis he. 'Very well,' sis 1,
be antler lettin' it alone.' I'd some bother wid. the sheep, and
walked on, when he follied me agin, and sthopped me an' the
sheep agin. What isplit4reaison,' sis I, you are follying me.
This is my masther, ses.
rty, an', if you meddle wid it, be
afther takin' care o' yourself, or I'll make my shillelah an' your
sconce very close 'cquintances,' sis 1. Wid dhat he gev me a
very saucy answer, and d—d my eyes to all intents an' purposes,
an' stuck to me, an' sthopped the sheep;, so wid ghat 1 sthruck
him twisht, an' it certainly did emaciate his head a lettle bit."
Mr. Hall inquired of the complainant if he had obstructed the
sheeli as stated, which complainant denied, and called a witness
who corroborated his former statement.. Mr. Hall said nothing
could justify the assault. He inquired of the prisoner what
business he was. Prisoner—" I dhrives cattlesevery day in dhe
wake, if you call dhat a business." Mr. Hall—" You drive
cattle till you are peefectly hardened, and then beat the man as
you would your cattle.' Prisoner—" We can't help id; the
bastes iz quite stupid sometimes." Mr. Hall—" You must
pay 10s. and costs, or be remanded eleven days.
CUSTOMS' INFORMATION.—On Saturday, at the Police-office,
Henry Williams, the chief mate of the Orontes, was placed be-
fore the magistrates under a customs' information charging him
with having endeavourer] to smuggle a quantity of tobacco.
Smyth, a dock policeman, deposed that on the 15th of this
month he was on duty at Prince's Dock, and met the prisoner
coming across the bridge towards the town with bundle in his
hand. He inquired what he had got in his bundle, and he re-
plied that lie was taking some clothes to wash. On examining
it, he found it contained tobacco, and he then took himinto
custody, and delivered the tobacco at the station-house to Mr.
Quickly. Some more tobacco was also found in the priSoner's
hat. As he was conveying him to the station-house, he said he
bad'3o lbs. more on board the vessel lying on the west side of
the dock. Mr. Quickly, an inspector of dock police, deposed
to receiving the tobacco, and delivering it to the custom-house
officers. A tide-surveyor deposed to seizing the tobacco, and
afterwards going on board the Orontes, and in the berth of the
prisoner 'he found 27 lbs. more of negrohead tobacco. That
found on his person weighed 13 lbs. The prisoner, in defence,
said a ,ierson gave him the tobacco to carry, and he was not
aware oil the consequences of it. Mr. Hall said the penalty was
£lOO, which he was adjudged to pay, and if not paid, to remain
in jail till it was paid.
Abraham Vynou,' a seaman on board a foreign vessel, the
Favouritan, from Finland. was placed in custody before the
magistrates charged with having concealed a quantity of spirits
•on hoard his vessel. James Cheetham, a tide-surveyor, deposed
-that he had regularly searched the vessel on her entering the
river, and found nothing. In consequence of information he
had received, he had gone that morning to the vessel to make a
further search. On removing several sails and ropes in the fore-
castle, be found three two gallon kegs of spirits, one of brandy,
and two of Hollands: the kegs were full. The vessel was lying
in George's Deck.- Handley, another officer, deposed to the
prisoner acknowledging the spirits to be his, and that he was a
Welshman; he said he got the spirits at Elsinore. The case
was remanded till the Ist of October to afford time to communi-
cate with the Customs' Board in London.
UNWHOLESOME MEAT.—On Saturday, at the Police-office,
Peter Williams, a butcher, appeared to answer an information
laid against him by the leave-looker of the markets charging
him with having exposed for sale a quantity of unwholesome
meat in Cable-Street on Thursday last. The officer stated that,
on entering the slaughter-house of Mr. Williams, in Cable-
street, he found 360 lbs. of beef, the carcase of a cow, exposed
for sale which was not fit for food. The meat was condemned
by a jury of butchers as "unwholesome and not marketable,"
and was destroyed. The defendant said " they were very short
of brass in their street and shat the cow was very thin, but was
good." Mr. Hall said that was absurd; it would not have been
condemned by three butchers if it had been good. Defendant—
" Well, sir, it ii the first offence." Mr. Hall—"'ghat is your
best defence. You are liable to. a penalty of 205., and I run very
much inclined to inflict the-fall penalty ; I hope, however, you
will never do so again. As it is the first offence, you must pay
7s. and costs." •

CONSERVATISAL—Leaving our frinds of West Somerset to
enjoy and regale themselves, after the dinner display at ,Taun—
toni we haVe great pleasure in drawing the attention of the
readers of the SYANDAIIii to the happy gathering at Wor-
cester.'Here we fiiia between live and six hundred true
English hearts , collected together for the purpose of giving
their constitutional member, Mr. Eailey, a dinner of res-
pect fur his tipright support of primiiples diainotric4lly the
reverse of,those of the Fitzwilliam and Lethhriclge factions.
And who are the parties assembled on this occasion ?—not the
minions of a lord, nor the stipendiary tools of a whig-radicall,7o-
vernment ;—but men as independent as any class of men on
England's soil—the Operative Conservative Association of
Worcester !

Mr. Bailey, as a commoner, may, indeed, be proud of his
elevation, towering as is that elevation, in intrinsic value and
real independence, over the united performances of Wicklow
and West Somerset; nor was his speech, delivered on the:oeca-
sion, of less Value, wherein he so happily described the relative
position of the present ministry with Lord Grey, Lord Stanley,
and Sir James Graham. Here is a fair set off for the folly of
Wicklow, and the idle bombast of. Taunton. Take the balance
iu your fayour, my Lords of Melbourne and Russell; it will be
useful to you against the approaching-dissolution.---it may even
enable you to hang together until the next meeting of parlia-
ment, but think not to rule the mind of Englataby the solemn
farces we have exposed!

EXTENSIVE BEGGING-LETTER FRAUD. Yesterday, at the
Police-office, a noted imposter, an Italian, named Peter Ge-
not hfie, alias Genoles, and a lad, named Thomas Brown, who
has frequently been committed, and is better known in the in-
terior of Kirkdale than anywhere else, were placed before the
magistrates charged with carrying on a Most extensive system
of fraud by means of begging-letters. In Ile first instance
they had been taken into custody for having committed.. petty
theft in a lodging-house at Preston ; on searching Genoles, an
immen•ze number of letters, in answer to begging applications,
from different noblemen and gentlemen, were found,together with
adarge glass sear, a copy of an official seal, a plaster cast of an
official seal, some large official wafers, several passports, a peti-
tion, and a number of begging-letters, written in French, ready
to be addressed to parties.—William Wilkinson then deposed
tha the lived at Anchor's 'Wean. Preston. and let lodgings. On
Saturday morning last the prisoner was lodging with him,
when he decamped, and afterwards he (complainant) missed
his purse, c„„taining 24„, one shilling of which he could
swear to am' ost a thousand. .lie had occasion to come
over to Liverpool on Saturday, and met the prisoner in Preston-

• Silt,—l pray you will pardon me for taking the liberty of
addressing you, but I have done so trusting in your general
character for benevolence, which I doubt not will induce you to
pity the misfortunes of a Polish captain, escaped from impri-
sonment in Russia.
Having been attached to the Polish army from the love of
liberty, and of the independence of Poland, I have been made
prisoner by the Russians; but, by the help of God, I have had
the good luck to escape from them, and am now on my way to
Dantzic. I met with friends in Prussia. and received a passport
from the imperial consul at Dantsic, and a recommendation
from the consul to his Britannic Majesty; but on my passage
here I was seized with along and severe illness, and h-ave been
reduced by it to the greatest indigence. My great age, of more
than seventy years, and the impossibility of travelling without
means in a strange country, has constrained rue, notwithstanding
Inv dislike to such a proceeding, to emplore your assistance to
relieve my destitute situation.
Trusting in your goodness of heart, and not doubting of
your aid from the kindness which you have ever shown to the
unfortunate, be assured I shall never forget any assistance, !it
shall ever have the most lively remembrance and the deepest
consideration of ypur kindness.

Some of the letters had also the following rota bene attached:—

sent my son for your answer."
These letters enclosed copies of the following testimonials

Russians, and consequently prevents their return to that coun-

The French letters were extremely neatly written in tolerable
French, and certainly did the secretary extraordinaire of Cap-

THEATRE ROYAL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL ST.IND.IRD.

Stn,—l3usiness having led me' through I3asnett-street, and
thence through \Villiatuson-square, towards the Ilaymarket,-:
last night, at aboht nine o'clock, I perceived an old, respectable
gentleman, who appeared to be then under the influence of li-
quor, accosted by two girls of ill fame, who laid bold of Ids arms,
evidently intending, as I imagined, to take advantage of his in-
sensibility.
They were immediately followed by four dis,trderly men, sehont
I considered to be their partners in unlawful transactions, and
who were after a short tine, in the act of picking his pockets.
On seeing this, and considering it a part of every luau's duty to
prevent such occurrences from taking place, I pointed them out
to a gentleman then passing by, who suggested that they 11;1.1
better be followed and watelteti by .aTiolice cater. accord-
ingly acquiesced in his suggeStion, ho we proceeded in search
of one. We had only proceeded a short distance before we at-
tained our object. The gentleman related to the officer the par-
ticulars of the circumstances, and begged of limes a layout' to
act accordingly, (I being
.present at the•time,) Whenbereceived
the following as au answer :—" You bad h.'tter go and mind'
your own business; we have quite enough to do wittiout looking.
after them; uud take care you don't pick people's proekets your self."
This is the language used by a police officer to a gentleman !
I and he ascertained front a person in the neigithouchood tbi
the name of this officer is Bishop, who at that time was attired
in the garb of a fireman. The above I defy him to refute,' It
took place nearly opposite to the Star Inn, occupied, I believe,
by James Ward.
How far his'conduct may be considered proper I am aka loss
to understand. The generality of the police officers appfAj., Ur
endeavour to make it appear, that they have learned a lilt* die-'
cipline; but they are in want of that courtesy and decency of
behaviour and manners which their stations in public life re.'
quire they should be possessed of. In fact I can safely say, that •
one-third of them either do not understand their duty, or do.
not wish to understand it. Verily we have reaped a never-to.be-'
forgotten benefit from a reform in our municipal government:—

DEATH O 1 MADAME MALIBRAN DE BERIOT.

----r- .
It is with feelings of the most poignant sorrow and rearet,
that we announce the death of this distinguished and highly.
gifted vocalist, who expired last night at Mosley Arms Inn, i.n.
this town, after an illness of nine days, the commencement and
progress of which have been detailed to- our readers in former
numbers of the Guardian.
We stated on Wednesday, that up to the preceding evening
Madame Malihrau still continued in a very feeble state, with"'
much fever. From that night she continued gradually getting
worse, apparently sinking into a state of stupor, with a pulse ,
be-
coming more and more languid, and with other symptoms yr
the most alarming nature. About two o'clock ,on Thursday
afternoon she became insensible, and her general condition so
alarmed her Medical attendant, Dr. Bellowini, that, alter suf-
fering considerable anxiety, he determined to call in
skil-
ful surgeon, with whom to hold a consultation on the case. Ac-
cordingly, about seven o'clock, that evening, he sent for Mr.
William Lewis, of George-street, who,

It was at first intended that Monsieur de Beriot should remain
at the inn all night; but, finding himself entirely unable to
rest, having indeed scarcely slept or tasted food- for the last two
or three days, Dr. Bellomini thouglit it best that he should im-
mediately return to London. A carriage and four was accor-
dingly prepared, and about half-past one o'clock this morning,
Monsieur de Beriot, accompanied by Dr. Bellomini, quitted
Manchester. a place which to him must ever be attended with
recollections the most poignant and distressing. Instructions
were given for the interment, which will probably take place on
Wednesday or Thuisday next, but at which of the places of st-
ulture we do nut yet know. -Madame Malibran de Beriot was
`z,B years old, so that she was in the flower of her age, as well as
