cw---the;e are somewhat dangerous notions to
nto the minds of men with hungry stomachs

,us notions for them to run away witii

for them to take with them to their
their open-air meetings, or to their
families. Perhaps the gentlemen,
wnose love of agitation and oratorical display
caused them to get up this meeting, and to give
an opportunity for the discussion of such a ques-
tion at such a time, will be unpleasantly reminded
of the folly of their conduct. Most sincerely we
trust that nothing serious may result. We have
some confidence in the good sense of the working
classes themselves, Afj shown in their refusal to

The trips to London from both
Manchester and Liverpool, we are informed, did not take
so well as usual. Weare afraid that the conclusion must
be drawn that money is scarce throughout that class in
the district, whom these cheap pleasure jaunts usually
attract, as it cannot but be admitted that requisite leisure
is not wanting.
MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.—We refer our readers, par-
ticularly those connected with the country bands that
have thiS week visited here, to the advertisement of Mr.
Joidan. His cornopeans are second to none manufactured.
Mr. Henry Russell, as will be seen on reference to his
advertisement, gives a concert on Wednesday evening,
at which he introduces several new, songs. There can be
little doubt as the season is closing, that it will be well
attended.

At an early hour large bodies of the
assembled in front of the Queen's
rendezvous, from which they marched
igh the principal streets and thorough-

faresof tirketthead, and from thence to St. Catherine's
Church, Tranmere. They were each of them dressed in
the usual insignia of their order ; being thus decorated,
and haVing with them a band of music, they added much
to the holiday appearance. The order dined together at
the Queen's Arms in the evening.

MELANCHOLY DEATH. Yesterday an inquest was
held at-Aigburth, before Mr. Heyes, the county coroner,
on view of the body of James Billinge, of the police force,
formerly a bridewell keeper, and latterly a clerk in the
Watch-office, where he was much respected for his atten-
tion and punctuality. Deceased, who was only twenty-
eight years of age, had unexpectedly been missing for
sometime, and it was generally believed that domestic
circumstances had preyed upon his mind. His body was
found on Saturday morning in a pond or pit in the town-
ship of Allerton, and had apparently long been immersed
in the water. The jury, after hearing all the evidence,
returned a verdict simply to the effect that he wee " found
drowned." Ile has left a wife and family,

the witnesses against him not having appeared.
STEALING MONEY FROM A SW:W.—Yesterday, at the
Police-court, a man named Jordan was brought up on a
charge of stealing £8 4s. in silver from a desk in the back
shop of Mr. James Hardie, No. 6, Richmond-street. The
greater part of the money was found in the prisoner's
box in a house where he had formerly lodged. He was
committed for trial.
' STEALING FROM A SHANDRY.—At the Police-court,
yesterday, a man named Edward M‘Guire was charged
with having stolen, in Bridgewater-street, from a shandry
belonging to Mr. Robert -Waring, a clerk, residing at
Smithdown-lane, a parcel containing groceries of the va-
lue of 6s. There was a person in the vehicle at the time,
who witnessed the impudent theft. The priioner was
committed for trial.
THEFT OF PLATE FROM A SHOP.—At the Police-
court, yesterday, a man named Henry Jones was charged
with stealing a silver wine-strainer from the shop of Mr.
Hart, silversmith, &c., Lord-street, on Friday night last.
The prisoner had gone into the shop, and contrived to
carry off the article, which, after he had beaten it into an
unshapely mass, he offered for sale at Mr. Stewart's shop,
No. 120, Park-lane. Mr. Stewart made some inquiries as
to how the prisoner had become possessed of the article,
and he said he had come from Manchester, and had found
it on some gravel stones on this side of Warrington.
Suspicion being excited, the plate was not purchased, and
the police having received information, the prisoner was
apprehended on Saturday. The value of the article wi s
about £7. The prisoner was committed to the sessions.,

1r export and on speculation. The market is very rm+ sof

along the holders of Cotton.
