POLICE-COURT. YE
STERDAY.

STEALING OATMEAL.—John Sutton, a carter, in the
employ of Messrs. Brown and Co., King-street, was
charged with stealing five sacks of oatmeal from his em-
ployers on Saturday, the 3rd June. From the evidence,
it appeared that the prisoner was employed to deliver 120
sacks of oatmeal to Messrs. Train and Co., India-buildings,
Water-street. While in the course of delivering the meal,
the prisoner borrowed five sacks from the warehouseman
of Messrs. Train, and these he filled with meal and took
away. This he had no authority to do, and the meal bad
not been traced as yet. The prisoner, who did not say
anything, was remanded fora week.

ATTEMPTING TO ROB A LODGING-HOUSE.—Catherine
Clegg, a middle-aged and dirty-looking woman, with an
infant in her arms, was charged with attempting to steal
some wearing apparel, on Saturday night, from the house
of Ann Wilton, residing in a court off Norfolk-street. The
attempted theft was clearly proved, and the prisoner, who
had been before the court on a similar charge in Novem-
ber last, was sentenced to be imprisoned for three months.
SINGULAR CHARGE OP THEFT.—James Rusty and
Sarah Rusty (his wife) were charged with stealing various
sums of money from the chest of Sidney Severn, an
omnibus-driver, who lodged in their house in Duke's. place,
Earl-street. The prosecutor said he had lodged with the
prisoners for about eighteen months, and on several occa-
sions he had missed money, which had been taken out of
his box. About 3 months ago he applied to Mr. Clough on
the subject, who advised him to mark the money he putinto
his box, and if he missed any more to let the police know.
He did so, and on Sunday last he missed three shillings
from his box, about one o'clock. In the evening he called
in the aid of the police, and on searching a cupboard
three of the marked shillings were found in it, and a
marked sixpence was found on the mantelpiece. The
prisoners were accordingly given into custody, and the
present charge brought against them. In defence, the
male prisoner said he had been a grocer by trade, but had
been five years in the police force, from which he retired,
(he was not discharged,) in November last, since which
time he had been out of employment, till a few weeks
ago ; that the prosecutor had been very kind, and had
frequently paid the rent of his lodgings in advance; and
that on Sunday, a few minutes before one o'clock, the
prosecutor had given three shillings to prisoner's wife,
the three shillings alleged to have been stolen. That the
prosecutor had himself put the marked sixpence on the
chimneypiece, while the police officer was in the house,
as if to ensure conviction. This story was corroborated
by the wife, and both persisted in its truth. There being
no case against the wife, she was discharged, and the
male prisoner was remanded till this day.
STEALING CHEESE.—Elizabeth Arnold and Catherine
Hillay were charged with stealing a piece of cheese from
the shop of Mr. Thomas, Dale-street, on Saturday night.
It appeared there was a third female connected with this
theft, who was not in custody. The prisoners were seen
with the stolen property in their possession, but it had
been lost, both of them being in a state of intoxication at
the time. They were remanded till to-day.
ROBBERY AND ASSAULT.—WiIIiam M'Cormick and
Philip Oats were charged with having assaulted James
Pennington, a country dealer, in James-street, on Satur-
day last, and robbing him of £5. 'From the evidence of
the prosecutor it appeared that, having been ,transacting
some business, he had occasion to change a £5O note,
which he got in sovereigns, and afterwards went to a
public-house in the street named, where he had a glass of
ale by way of refreshment, and where he met the two
prisoners. In paying for his drink he unintentionally
showed a sovereign, which elicited an observation from
Oats. Soon after he (the prosecutor) left the house, and
was followed by the prisoners, when Oats fastened a quarrel
on him, and struck him. On this he closed with Oats, and
the two came to the ground. While struggling there,
M'Cormick turned his coat pocket upside down, and the
money fell out on the ground. M'Cormick then busied
himself in picking up the prosecutor's money, and giving
it to him, but he suddenly disappeared, carrying with
him five sovereigns, Oats also decamping at the same
time. No money was found on either of the prisoners,
and evidence was produced to show that there was a mis-
take as to the identity of M'Cormick. The prisoners were
remanded till this day.

FlRE.—Last night, about twelve o'clock, a fire, which
threatened to be of rather a serious nature, broke out at
the shop of Mr. Detmar, outfitter, Park-lane, but owing to
the prompt and efficient services rendered by the fire
brigade, it was quickly got under, or the stock and fur-
niture must have been destroyed.
GREAT CHESS GATHERING IN LIVERPOOL. —The an-
nual meeting of the Northern and Midland Counties
Chess Associations is announced to be held at the Exhibi-
tion-rooms, Post-office-place, in this town, on Friday, the
23rd, and Saturday, the 24th instant. The occasion will
be one of unusual interest to admirers of the game.
ATTEMPTEI? MURDER AND SUICIDE:A woman,
named
in consequence
living at Bury, had been so distressed in her
mind, consequence of her husband having left her in a
state of absolute want, that she took a shilling that had
been given to her for relief, and purchased a packet of
vermin poison, and having mixed it with water, she first
administered it to her children, and then drank the
remainder herself. The cries of the children attracted the
attention of a woman who occupied another portion of the
house, and on entering the room she found the two
children on a bed, the one in convulsions and the other
screaming. The woman was seated on a chair, with her
eyes fixed. On being asked what was the matter, the
woman replied, " We are allvserved alike ; we shall be with
the Lord soon. We are all poisoned." The visitor, having
sent for medical aid, fainted in the room. Two medical
men were speedily in attendance, and some sulphate of
zinc having been administered, the mother and the eldest
child vomited and recovered, but the younger child died.
The woman is in custody.
BRITISH TELEGRAPH COMPANY.—By an advertisement
the public will perceive that this company have made con-
siderable reductions and equalized the rates for telegraphic
messages. According to the former absurd rates, a mes-
sage sent 50 miles was charged one shilling, and if sent
110 miles was charged five shillings. The charge now
will only be half-a-crown for the latter distance. The
public are much indebted to this company, as the first op-
ponents of the Electric Company, which, after a severe
struggle, commenced with shilling charges under 30 miles
—abolished sixpence charge for porterage—granted the
addresses in messages free, and now have established rates
per charges which ought to insure support. The
company's system extends from Dover and Deal to Glas-
gow, and as the submarine cable from Scotland to Ireland
is already laid, Belfast and Dublin will soon be included.
The British Telegraph Company's wires will, in a little
time, be carried on to Edinburgh, Greenock, Sunderland,
and other important places. They telegraph daily with
wire carried on poles, without any break or change, a dis-
tance of 380 miles, and altogether the system is feund tp
be most §4OOB wcl cQUIPIet%

A LI7NA.TIC, named William Carson, escaped from
Rainhill Asylum, on Saturday, and has not since been
heard of.

WINE, ROSY WINE.—The lovers of rare old wine will
have a rare opportunity on Thursday of gratifying their
taste. Messrs. Winstanley and Sons have announced a
sale of wines, which they say are of the finest quality, and
their respectability is an ample guarantee for the correct-
ness of the description.
DIORAMA or THE HOLY-LAND.—The fine Diorama of
the Holy-land, including the interesting scenes of Christ's
miracles and sufferings, and the other remarkable locali-
ties in Jerusalem and its vicinity, may be seen, nightly,
in the Queen's Hall, Bold=street. This Diorama is spoken
highly of by the press.
ST. PAHL'S PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION.—OR Tuesday
evening, the Rev. Thomas Robinson, of St. Bartholomew's,
delivered an eloquent lecture to the above society, in the
New Hall, Hackin's-hey, the subject being " The House of
Commons and Popery. The chair was occupied by the
Rev. George Read, curate of St. Paul's, and the audience,
which was numerous, consisted principally of the work-
ing classes, who warmly applauded the rev. lecturer dur-
ing his address. The Rev. S. Minton will deliver the
next lecture to the society, in the same place, on the 20th
instant.

CLEANSING or THE PRINCE'S DOCK.—For the first
time these last fifteen years, the Prince's-dock was run
dry on Thursday, in order that the gates may be repaired,
and that the large deposit of mud may be removed. As
notice had been given, the dock had been pretty well
cleared of vessels, and those that remain are merely small
craft.

THE SELECT VESTRY held their fortnightly meeting
on Tuesday, at the Workhouse, the Rev. Rector Campbell
in the chair. There were present also, Messrs. Came,
Brancker, Whitty, Savage, Hand, Satchell, Bradley,
Meacock, Rae, Denton, John Jones, Crawford, Chesney,
Hughes, Luff, Hutchison, Mellor, Rawle, William Jones,
and Whitby. The proceedings of the finance committee
having been confirmed, Mr. Gardner said if their collectors
were employed in the collection of the voluntary rate, he
should like to know what amount had been collected, be-
cause it was a question often asked when the clocks would
be set in motion. Now, if they had funds sufficient, it
should be done at once.—Mr. Came : The vestry have
nothing to do with it.—Mr. Gardner : Then if we have
nothing to do with it, how is it that our collectors are
employed in collecting that rate ?—Mr. Hutchison did not
know the exact amount collected, but he was sure the
other day that sufficient was not collected for the church.
wardens to undertake the expense.—Mr. Gardner : Was
£lOO collected ?—Mr. Hutchison : There was. Mr.
Gardner : Then it is full time that the clocks were set
agroing.—The Chairman was in hopes that the clock question
had beensettled,but hefound that although the clocks were
standing still in the streets, they were going there.—Mr.
Denton agreed with Mr. Gardner that those things needed
winding up continually.—Mr. Hughes believed it was a
fact that St. Peter's church clock was actually wound up,
and it only wanted the pendulum touching to set it going,
but the churchwarden had refused to give his august per-
mission.—Mr. Came : I beg your pardon ; whatever has
been done in any one church, both the churchwardens
take the responsibility of.—Mr. Hutchison : I share in
the responsibility.—Mr. Denton : I say it is no go. The
subject then dropped.—The Workhouse committee re-
ported that the total number of inmates in the house was
2,284. Amongst these there were 672 sick cases, 63 being
of fever, and 55 of itch.—After some miscellaneous busi-
ness, Mr. Came proposed a modification of the instruc-
tions given some years ago to the collectors. Regulations
were then passed that a certain amount should be received
in rates from property under and up to the value of £l5.
He had no intention of altering the amount ; what he
proposed was, that in any reduction that might be made
to cottage tenants, it be a condition that the sum ordered
to be paid shall be paid within six months.—The Chair-
man, after alluding to the appointment of a select com-
mittee of the House of Commons on the subject of poor
removal, suggested that it would be advisable if the vestry
authorised the clerk and himself to watch the proceedings
of the committee, and adopt such measures as might be
expedient.—Mr. Came moved, and Mr. Denton seconded,
a motion to this effect, which was carried nem. dia.—Mr.
Hart, the vestry-clerk, then read a report in reply to a
statement in a daily contemporary that twenty-two people
had died last year of destitution in Liverpool. The
coroner's returns showed that there had been no death
from that cause within the last three or four years.—Mr.
Came moved that the report be recorded on the proceed-
ings, and censured the proprietor of the paper, who had
been formerly a member of that board, for permitting to
appear in his print such a reflection on their officers. The
motion was agreed to, and the board adjourned.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY, JUNE 12.
The Earl of DERBY asked the government whether it !VI,
intended to proceed with the Testamentary Jurisdiction
and the bill for theamendment of the Law of Divorce, in the
present session.
The LORD CHANCELLOR replied in the affirmative, 11114
added that if the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill passed, it
would only come into operation on the Ist of January, 1855,
and the Divorce Bill on some subsequent day, to ba named by
the Queen in Council ; and with respect to the Ecclesiastical
Jurisdiction of the Courts, a separate measure would be
introduced in the next stssion.
The Exchequer Bonds (.e6,000,000) Bill was read a second
time.

The Earl of ABERDEEN, in answer to the Earl of Ellen-
borough, said it was not intended to bring in a bill to repeal
the statute of Anne, which enacts that no more than tWo
Secretaries of State shall sit at the same time in the House of
Commons.
The Vaccination Acts Bill was r.lad a second time.
The Railway and Canal Traffic Regulation Bill was read a
third time.
The Income Tax (No. 2) Bill, the Church Building. Act
Amendment Bill, and the Industrial and Provident Societies
Bill, severally passed through committee.
The house adjourned at twenty minutes past seven.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—MONDAY, JUNE 12.
A new writ was ordered for Morpeth, in the place of Sit
George Grey, who is appointed secretary for the colonies.
Mr. DISRAELI, after complaining of the appointment of
morning sittings for so early a period in the session as to-
morrow, asked if there would be any objection to postpone
them until after the government had been reconstituted.
Sir C. WOOD replied that the bills appointed for morning
sittings were not Government measures, but the Government
were willing to be guided by the sense of the house.
The house went into committee on the Stamp Duties Bill.
Mr. HUMS objected at some length to the changes pro-
posed to be introduced by the bill, and trusted the Chancellor
of the Exchequer would reconsider many of its provisions. He
also reviewed the monetary affairs of the country generally,
and contended that no ground had been made out for sub-
hecting foreign bills of exchange to any tax. and intimated
is intention to move the exclusion of the clause by which
such tax was imposed.
Mr. G REGSON, Mr. THORNELRY, and Mr. MCGREGOR con-
curred generally in the objection of Mr. Hume. The first
three clauses were proposed and agreed to.
A discussien arose on the 4th clause, imposing a tax on
foreign bills of exchange, in which Mr. MASTERMAN and
Mr. BROWN took part.
Mr. WiLsos defended the new scale as regards foreign
bills, as being lover than the existing scale, and urged the
benefit that will result from the general reduction of duty to
the low rate proposed in the bill, more especially with re-
spect to small traders.
Mr. J. BARING maintained that the advantage which
might be anticipated would not be sufficient to counterba-
lance the inconveniences that would result from taxing
foreign bills of exchange.

WILLIAMS supported the proposition.
Mr. GLADSTONE explained the meaning of the clause, con-
tending that it did not enact a fresh tax, but rather rendered
its operation uniform as regards foreign bills. If the exeMß-
tion in reference to foreign hills were to be considered deci-
ded, it would be impossible for Government to persevere
with the project of reducing the duty to the low scale as pro-
posed by the bill. The tax on foreign bills would be about

is. on the £lOO. _
After some further discussion, the house divided on the
amendment of Mr. Hume for the rejection of the 4th clause,
imposing a tax on foreign bills of exchange.

Mr. HADFIELD moved an addition to the clause relating
to the duty on conveyances.

Mr. BRIGHT supported the proposition of Mr. Hadfield.
After some debate, the amendment was withdrawn. The
other clauses were agreed to, and the bill reported.
The house then went into committee of supply.
The proposal of the vote for the maintenance of prisons lea
to a discussion on prison discipline.
Mr. MACARTNEY urged the necessity of establishing one
uniform system of discipline. • Or
Lord PALMERSTON described the favourable operation
the ticket of leave system. The excess on the estimate e'
last year was caused chiefly by the increased price of Fr°'
visions and clothing.
Mr. SPOONER strongly objected to the sum for the payinOt
of Roman Catholic priests attending convicts. He moved the
omission of that item.
Lord PALMERSTON said that as it happened we had a inlet
proportion of Roman esti': lira in this country, he thouglit4
best that their religion should be treated with respect. Vide
principle was ndt new, and it was in contemplation to exteu
the practice to all government prisons.
Mr. SCHOLEFIELD briefly expressed his approval of the
vote.
Mr. NEWDEGATE at some length supported the views ett'
pressed by M r. Spooner.
Mr. De umm OND spoke in favour of the payment of Roniet
Catholic priests in prisons. The principle of tolerationeuP
to be extended to them in all things.
After a few words from Mr. CROSSLEY and Mr. Honsra .11;
Mr. Fox supported the principal vote, though objectieg

The vote was supported by Mr. J. PHILLIMORE, and Or
posed by Sir J. PA KI NI:I7'ON .
Mr. Lucas replied at great length to Mr. Spooner
Mr. MILES supported the amendment.
Mr. MIAL.I. addressed a few words to the house, and 3ttr.

larly well placed.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—This DAY.

With continued limited receipts at the ports on the
seaboard of the United States, prices, of Wheat and Flour
advance there in the face of depressed accounts from this
side the Atlantic ; the French markets are still also slowly
improving, and will probably import from England, or
divert for their own use some of the produce originally
intended for this country, on its arrival off our coasts.
We had a copious and refreshing rain in this locality last
night, but so far this does not appear to have been the
case generally through the country, and the cold winds
and absence of sunshine hitherto are reported to be bringing
the crops but slowly forward, so that we cannot reason-
ably calculate on so desirable an event as an early harvest.
With the usual caution so long exercised by the trade,
however, no excitement is as yet appatent ; and though
some markets of the kingdom are stated rather dearer,
others have slightly given way at the close of the past
week, and Mark-lane, yesterday, upon fair supplies from
abroad, was dull, without alteration in the general quota-
tions.

A change of wind, within two days, has brought us in
a fair arrival of Wheat and Indian Corn, 6,397 barrels of
American, and 11,281 sacks, chiefly Spanish Flour; these
constitute our chief supplies for the week. The trade has
ruled quiet, but steady, during the interval from Friday
last.

At our market this morning Wheat and Flour met a
slow consuming demand from the trade, and the prices of
Friday last were scarcely supported. The business doing
in Indian Corn is restricted by buyers holding out for
a decline on present rates. There ie little dying in oats
and Oatmeal ; and for other articles there was a very
dull sale.

THE WAR.

Brahestadt and Tornea, on the north of the Gulf of
Finland, have been cannonaded with success.
_The Moniteur contains a despatch from Admiral
Hamelyn, dated May 23, giving a detailed account of the
taking of the Russian fortifications in Circassia. Anapa
had also been captured.
On the 7th June the siege of Silistria continued with-
out any important result. An incursion of Montenegiins
into the Herzegovina was repulsed by the Albanians.
The Paris Moniteur says, the removal of Paskiewitch's
head quarters to Jassy is confirmed, as also the report of
the concentration in Moldavia of the Russian corps which
were marching on the Danube. These measures appear
to afford an answer to the Austrian movement on the
Transylvanian frontier.
BERLIN, MONDAY EVENING.--The results of the
Teschen conference are favourable. Austria and Prussia
will send an answer to the minor States, extinguishing
the hopes of the Bamberg conference. Prussia is resolved
to consider the note sent by Austria to Russia on the 2nd
June as the summons mentioned in the late treaty, and
will send Colonel Manteuffel to St. Petersburg to back it.
A St. Petersburg letter says the cause of our exchange
going so high is, we believe, the grain crops' contracts, as
they were made for May, and as part of them are for
foreign account, they have, of course, to be drawn against ;
this, with the great want of money here at present, and
the excessive dulness of our import market, coupled with
the report of a contemplated loan in Holland, seem suffi-
cient to explain the advance.
