---
TURSOAY.—(Before Mr. Alderman BOURNE and Alderman
Sir THOMAS BRANCKER.)
INFORMATION.—Henry GOtilbourne, the driver of Mr. Mos- 1
cove's cart, was brought up on an information by a gentleman, ;
charged with obstructing the road with his cart, and, on being '
remonstrated with, making use of very abusive language. The
gentleman then asked him fur his number, which he refused to
give, and the gentleman then got out of his gig, and followed
the cart in order to get it; and then found it so covered with
dirt that he could not read it without wiping it first with his
glove. He was fided 10s. and costs.
Fiii.ONv.—Patrick Lundy and Peter Durham, tvio well known
thieims, were brought up charged by Mr. Thompson with having
stolen a quantity of leaden pipe. A-witness stated that the night
before, a little before eleven o'clock, he had "occasion to go
backwards," when he heard a kind of rumbling noise, and got
upon "the seat," and looked through a "air hole" that there
was, and saw the two prisoners taking the pipe. lie immedi-
ately went and told Mr. Thompson that they were stealing his
lead pipe; and if he would go with him they might be able to
take the prisoners. They then both ran out, and after a chase
took both prisoners into custody.—Batchelder said they had
been in custody for thefts a dozen times at least.—Tbey were
sent to the House of Correction for three months.
RUN AWAY APPRENTICE.—Thomas Thompson, a grown up
lad, not calculated to set the Mersey on fire, was brought up
charged by Mr. Jones, joiner, with having run away from his
service.
The Magistrate.—Well, what have you to say to this? Why
did you run away?
The Prisoner (after a loflk.pause.)—Because I thowt my
indentures wur illegal.
The Magistrate.—Why did you think so?
Prisoner.—Because I didn't see ony body sign 'em.
The Magistrate.—You signed them yourself, did you not?
Prisoner.—Yees; I soigned 'em myself.
The Magistrate.—Well, then, you must-be bound by them.
Hare you any complaint against your master ?
Prisoner.-1 hey a good many complaint's.
The Magistrate.—Well, what are they?
Prisoner.—Whin, he has put me back. •
• The Magistrate.—Do you mean to say he does not teach you
your business ?
Prisoner.—l doan't knew for that.
The magistrate.—l think Mr. Jones is taking more trouble
about you than you are worth. You are liable to be sent to the
House of Correction. Perhaps you are nut aware of that ? .
Prisoner.—Oh, yea.
The Magistrate.—Well, would you rather go there than serve
your master?
Prisoner.-1 doan't knaw. (Laughter.)
The Magistrate.—Would you like to try?
Prisoner.—filoan't knew. How long shall I hey to go?
The Magistrate.—We Will send
you there for a month if von
would like to try. But you will have to serve Mr. Jones alter
you come out.
Prisoner.-1 shall only hey to serve him till I'm twenty-
one; that's in my indentures.
The Magistrate.—How far are you off that?
Prisorier.—Whia, not far.
The Magistrate inquired if prisoner was good for anything?
and Mr. Jones said he had always been a steady, faithful ap-
prentice till now.
The Magistrate.-1 think he is a very foolish fellow; he is
going the right way to ruin himself. He shall reflect on what
he will do till to-morrow. •
The prisoner then left the court in custody.
ASSAULT.—Mrs. Mary Glover appeared to lay a complaint
against'Mr. Campbell, for having assaulted her on new year's
night. It appeared that Mr. Campbell had invited Mrs. Glover
to come and sup. at his house on the night iu question, and,
during the convivialities, a quarrel arose, when she got up, ,and
said " if that was it, it was time to be off," when Mr. Campbell
got up, and struck her for leaving. .
Campbell.—Now, that wasn't it at all. My wife and me fell
out, and she came-between us and was struck.
The magistrate (to complainant )—You should have remem-
bered that it is awkward interfering between man and wife.
You are not afraid of Mr. Campbell striking you again, are
you ?
Mrs. Glover,—l don't know. He threatened yesterday to
smear my face.
The Magistrate.—ln that case Campbell must find bail.
Campbell.—Well, I don't understand the way of doing busi-
ness here.
The parties then left the court.
IMPRUDENCR.—Catbarine Dixon and Agnes Brown, were
charged with having robbed a man, named Wm. Chetsworth,
of his watch, a purse, containing nine sovereigns, and a five
pound note of the Leeds Bank. The complainant stated that
he was a stranger in LiVerpoel, and was walking in Church-
street, at about twelve o'clock on Saturday night,' when he was
induced by a female to accompauy her to a disorderly house in
Leigh-street. As he was about to take his departure, he was
attacked by all the women in the house, who, after having rifled
his pockets, quitted the premises and ran away. He called the
watchman, who having procured assistance, soon succeeded in
capturing the two prisoners, whom they found drinking at a
public-house, in Great Crosshall-street. Catharine Dixon is
the keeper of the den of infamy iu which the unlucky com-
plainant was robbed. When they were taken into custody,
Agnes Brown had the five pound note in her hand. The hor-
rid tale of wickedness and depravity which came out in the
course of the evidence was at once most disgusting and appal-
ling. It was stated that five or six female children resided at
.the house of tlie.wretched Catherine Dixon, the oldest of whom
was not more. than fourteen years of age, whilst the youngest
was barely ten. It was intimated that the circumstances de-
tailed would be laid before the parish authorities, who would
cause the occupiers of the house to be indicted.. The deposi-
tion of the witnesses were ordered to be taken previous to the
committal of the prisoners.
THURSDAY.—(Before the Marini.)
The 'Mayor on taking his seat at a little after eleven o'clock,
stated that owing to misinformation given to him he had not
that day been punctual. As punctuality was a great requisite
iu the despatch of business, he should always in future be there
precisely at eleven o'clock.
SHOP-LIFTING.—Ann Roberts and Mary Cox, two girls, the
eldest of whom did not appear moie than 14 years old, were
brought before the magistrate charged with stealine• a quantity ,
of print from Mr. James Poyuton's shop. From rise evidence
of John Roberts, an apprentice in the shop, it appeared that the
two girls had entered Mr. Poynton's shop on Wednesday morn-
ing, and-tiarchased.S. yard. of priuLlor which they paid 10d.,
Shortly after they returned, and asked to look at some check.
While ho was-measuring this out to the elder girl; the younger
one went to the other side of the shop to look at some calico,
and whilst his attention was engaged bad secreted a remnant of
print under her petticoats. Miss Poynton, who was also in the
shop, had her attention attracted to her, and went over and
asked what she had got there; if she were concealing anything;
and discovered the print concealed, The other prisoner had
also contrived to secrete some calico in a similar way. They
were then given into custody. The prisoners had nothing to"
say in defence, and the case being fully proved they were com-
mitted to take their trial at the sessions.
FELONY.—Michael Yates, Thomas Gregson, and Jun. How-
ard, three of "the unwashed," were brought up charged with
stealing some barrels whieh had been left on the quay. Mr.
Lloyd, a cooper, stated that two of the prisoners had called on
him the (lay before, and asked him if he would buy some bar-
rels, to which he replied he would if they were honestly come
by. They then left, and shortly after the whole three returned
with a cart-load of barrels. After they had unloaded them, his
little boy came to telthim that they were scratching the names
off them, and rubbing the chalk marks off. The boy deposed
to this, and also identified the three priseners. There were
five barrels. One of the sailors from the light deposed to land-
ing the barrels at the pierhead on Saturday morning, for Mr.
Cruikshank, brewer. Mr. Cruikshank said he supplied the
light-ship with ale, and not being able to send down to the
pier for the barrels until Tuesday last, when he sent for
them they were all gone. The numbers on the barrels found
coriesponded exactly with those he had sent to the light-ship.
The prisouers denied all knowledge of the theft, and gave
a eery improbable account of their having been asked to sell
them by a brewer's man. They were each (Annulated to take
their trial at the sessions.
" Too BLACK."—William Butler, a man of colour, was
brought up charged by Mr. Robert Perry, who keeps a lodging-
house, with defrauding him of two ship notes. Mr. Robert
Perry, in giving his evidence, said : —This man came to take
lodgings with me after he had come from aboard the Mary
Bibby, and said he should get his ship note in a few days, with
which he would pay me. Well, he took rather sick, and he
came to me and says, " Mr. Perry," says he, " if you will sup-
port me I will give you my two next ship notes." Well, I did
so, and be got better; and then he came to me—" Mr. Perry,"
says he, "I have a watch in pledge, and the time is just up,
will you redeem it forme ?" says he. Well, accordingly I went
with him, personally, and redeemed it for him. Well, he come
to me again, " Mr. Perry," says he, " I have a top-coat in
pledge, I should like you to secure it for me," and I got that out
for him also.
The Magistrate.—Well, did you hold hard of the watch and
top-coat ?
Complainant.—No, sir; he got them and he has taken them
off with him.
The Magistrate.—Why did you not keep a sharp lookout?
Complainant.—Why, sir, he is so black, I could not do that.
(Laughter.) •
The Magistrate.—Well, in that case, you must employ an
attorney to snake him pay his debts.
The case was dismissed..
lriFoismAzsoNs.—Thomas Oldfield, the driver of Chantrel's
car, was yesterday brought up on an information, charged by a
gentlenian with having twice demanded and taken his fare.
The gentleman had placed a lady in the car on Sunday night.,
and had paid him the fare, (Is. (i(.1.) and hail desired him not to
charge the lady again when he arrived at her residence. He
had, nevertheless, demanded and received the fare again of the
lady. He was ordered to return the one shilthig and sixpence,
and fined ten shillings and costs.—William M'Cartnev, the
driver of Thomas Formby's cart, was ordered to find hail to
keep the peace for having used abusive language tawards Mr.
Patterson.—Robert Jones, a car driver, was fined ss. and costs
and ordered to return the overcharge for having demanded a
shilling more than the legal fare.
f There was a
nother informaor
-
tion against the same driver, or anothercharge, f
which be was fined as above and ordered to return the over.
charge.—The driver of William Webster's cart, of Garston,
was brought up, charged
with removing night-soil at seven
o'clock on the morning of the 24th of December last, in the
neighbourhood of Toxteth-park. 'l' he information failed from
deficiency. in the evidence. The magistrate intimated that lie
was fully determined, to inflict the full penalty on all cases of
the kind hrotight before him. There was nothing be so inueli
regarded in the late municipal act as its extending the boun-
daries, whereby those places which had previously been with-
out the jurisdiction of the magistrateo4 the borough were now
brought under Omit. jurisdiction. He had' seen night-soil left,
for two days together, unrenioved, in the neighbourhood of
Toxteth-park, which nuisance he was determined to put an end
to.—Thomas Chantrel, the owner of Car No. 211, was tined ss.
and costs for not haring a handle to his car,
•

SARDINIAN AltmASTENT.—Consirletable CtlrrOSill; was excited
at Lloyd's on Saturday afternoon, by the receipt r)l.' intelligence
from the agent at Genoa, dated the 24th December, anuounc-
that his Sardinian Majesty's squadron, consisting of the follow-
ing ships under the command of Rear Admiral Chevalier L.
Serra had sailed from that port on the 23:1, their destination being
entirely unknown. The fleet consisted of the
Carlo Felice (flag
ship) of 60 guns; the Regina, of 60; the Beroldo, of 58; (flag
ship) of 46; the Aurora corvette, of 20; and the Zephyr,
of 14; the Admiral Des Geneys, (458 guns, returned to Genoa
on the 24th, from Sardinia.. Conjectuve Was busy as to the des-
tination and, object of this armament. Upon this subject the
Paris papers of Saturday, received last night by express, throw
no further light. The following is the latest news which they
contain:—A letter from Ajaccio, in Corsica, of the 22d, upon
the same subject, has the following :—" A Tuscan vessel, which I
has touched at Cagliari, states that on the 15th a Sardinian
steam-ship of war arrived off that town, and summoned the com-
mandant to submit, and compel the inhabitants and militia sol-
diers to acknowledge the authority of their king, Charles Albert,
and to pay the arrears of taxes. The ship was ordered to re-
Main outsine the part, and to return to his majesty and inform
him that they were resolved to meet any armament be might
I send again'st them, with firm resistance; and would not submit
t to pay the sixty thousand crowus hi: demanded, unless com-
pelled-to pay theist by superior tovc.•e..

Entivitntsia AND GLASGOW RAILW 6 Y.—We understand that
the company for Med some time ago fur this linehave already sur
Veyed the ground; and that Messrs`. ltastrick,Viguoles,andLea=
(her, the three English engineers who are to fix on the best line
between the two cities, are to be down here early neXt week.
We learn that a great many levels hate been taken in different .
parts of the country, stud on different lines, With a view to enable
the engineers, withont.delay, to re ect the best, and we. antici-
pate being able very soon to announce the result.—Glagyoai
paper. .
RAILWAY PRGM GLASGOW TO CARLISI.E.—Messrs. Grainger.
and Miller, have completed (he preliminary atirvey of a line of
railway from Glasgow to Carlisle. We have been informed that
"this line proceeds from Glasgow, and takes the direction of the
low pass by Beith, running near to Paisley and Johnstone;
from near Beith it passes aldng the level of the country to Kil-
marnock, and from the nearest point to Irvine, a branch is pro- ,
posed to connect Irvine, 'froon, and Ayr. From kilinarnock,
' the line proceeds up the country by Galston, td the east of
' Mauchline, Catrine, and Old Cuthnock, crossing the summit •
of the country at the Black Loch, situated between Old and
New Cumnock. Thence it descends be New Ctinanock and
the valley of the Nith, by Sanqiihar and Thornhill, on to Dum-
fries. From Dumfries it proceeds by near Annan and Gretna
to Carlisle.• From Thornhill there is another line proposed.
keeping more on the high I.:ountry, and passing near to Ecele-
fechan ; should this line be adopted, it will snake the ascending
inclinations from the south easier, but it will involve a branch
to Dumfries. A connection with the Newcastle and Carlisle
line will be formed at Carlisle, hut, with the view of avoiding
this roundabout course for the Newcastle and east toast trade, a
connexion with that line is also proposed up tdiVards Brampton.
It appears by the levels which' have (seen taken of this line, that
the inclinations will be very favourable and it will hate the ad
vantage of connecting the most populous part of Scotland di-
rectly with the south. The three counties of-Lanark, Renfrew,
and Ayr at its north end, contain a population of about 600,000,
being about a fourth of the entire population cif Scotland:
Were this line executed, together with that projected between
Carlisle and Preston, the communication between Ayrshire and
London would bezomplete.--Glasyoto paper.
CARLSBAD WATERS.—M. Nentwich, of Carlsbad, has dish
covered the existence of iodine, in small but decided quantities;
in the waters of Carlsbad.
GRAPES.—In a garden at Fernay, a sdpdrb and solitary
bunch-of white grapes his proceeded from a vine which halt
hitherto borne, and still continues to bear, only black gr4Pes.
AN Nista RasourioN.—The following resolution, entered
into at the anti-tithe meeting at Clonoulty, deserves to be re-t
corded:—"Resolved, that a legal opinion shall be obtained as
to the legality of paving tithes—and that if such legal opinion
shall be in favour of the claim, that we shall, notwithstanding;
resist the payment unto deatli."—tlanmel Herald:
CANNIBALISM IN lanta.-Accounts frbin Calchtta state that
in the Arungabad district, during a period of three years, little
rain had fallen, and, in consequence of the dreadful famine
caused by this, cannibalism had prevailed to some extent. During
the present 'season, however, rain had fallen early and abun,
dantly, and had much relieved the previous misery.
ADMEASUReMENT op SR iPs.—The act sth and 6th William
IV, cap. 56, came into operation on the Ist instant. By this
enactment the new register tonnage of vessels will have to be
deterimined, in some cases causing their admeasuretnent to be
less, and in others snore, than udder the old system.
LORD Bisolie.—Died a few days singe, having just completed
his twenty-second year, Charles James, Viscount Brume, only
son of the Earl Cornwallis. His lordship dying Unmarried, his
sister, the Lady Jeminsa Isabella Wickham Martin, becomek
the sole heiress of the noble house of Cornwallis; a family of
eminence for centuries, which acquired 'the estate of Brume,
whence the deceased noblemen derived his title, by intermarriage
with Philippa, daughter anti co-heir of Rebert Buckton, so early
as the reign of' Richard 11. The celebrated Marquess Corn-:
wallis, so distinguished as a military commander in India, and
so unfortunate in America, was uncle to the present peer, whirl
is the only surviving child of the Right Rev. James Cornwallis,.
late Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, by Catherine, sister of
Sir Horace Mann, Bart., whose estates have been inherited,
and whose name has been assumed by his lordship.
EtsuLtsit CLoTit.—One of the manufacturers, examined,bi
the Upper 'Council of Commerce, states, that " the • English
havE largelloating.masses of products, and when they throes
them into foreign markets it is apositive.inundation, and other
competitors are obliged to retire. Their only hope is that of arc
riving at a moment when English and Belgian merchandise IS
rare; for, when these abound, all others are crushed."
AN EARTHQUAKE PUT OFF.—A notable instance of poptp;
lar gullibility and folly has jest been furnished, in the nbaurd
alarm in,o whicth numlieis of the inhabitants of this town have
been throWn for the last few days Ut the prediction of some in- •
sane street-preacher, that Greenock was about to be destroyed
by an earthquake. Tuesday, it seems, was the day appointed
for this dreadful occurrence, Which was to threw completely inh-
to the shade the rival horrors of the late deluge in Cartsdike;
and so strong a hold had the fanatical ravings of this prophet
of evil taken upen'the minds of the least inforMed portions of
the population, that we are given to understand some of them
actually left the town before the arrival of the dreaded day which.
was to seal the doom of Greenock. Por the consideration of
these worthies, who must no doubt be very anxious to knOW
what has become of us all, we are happy to assure diets that
Greenock is still standing where they left it, and where, we hope;
trey will find it again on their return home.--Greenock Intelli=
gencer.
Cutsious.—A statement, which We cats Scarcely bring our;
selves to believe, is travelling the round of the preSs. If truei
Mr. Braham is far inure patriarchal than patriotic. Every
body knows that our great singer is still alive. and that he
regarded as an ornament of his country; and yet it is con&
dently related that he said the English Fleet in 1342 for a
thousand guineas, which he put into his own pocket. Query, is
not this a subject for parliamentary inquiry.
CHRISTMAS BOXING.—THE MARCH OR ItutimmaitsT.—The
following singular document has been forwarded by the Surrey
dustmen, in the form of a printed circular, to the 'householders
I from whom they collect dust :—" To the worthy inhabitants of
Christchurch, Illackfriars :—ladies and gentlemen,—We your
constant irtid genuine dustmen in the employ of W. J. Sinnott,
contractor for the above liberty, take the liberty of snaking
bumble application to von for a*Christmas-,box, which you are
usually so kind as to give us, and to prevent fraud on us, and
imposition, on you (which is frequently practised by men coin-
ing dressed as.gentsine dearness, . and asking for the Christmas-
box, telling

THE CATHOLICS TN Astentch.--The following eitract of iii
letter from America has recently appeared in the Times :
" The goverriinent of this country is no doubt bad, as it is
wherever these is universal suffrage and voting by ballot, and
sooner or later there Will be confusion, convulsion, and tyranny.
But there is so ranch practical good sense among the middle
ranks, that the present generation will pass away before any
material change will take place. Our most pressing danger at
present is from the importation of a rabble of foreign papists,
Who, of course, are all manufectured into citizens, and vote as
their priests direct. They alresitty may be said to govern the
large cities, and, unless government shall put an, end to this
abuse, they will soon become dangerous; as thigh whole votes
can be.governed by tine man."
A BELGIAN Weraass.—A singular and interesting question
arose seine days ago in the Court of Assize, at Brussels, on the
following subject :—Mr. Alderman Naumann, bookseller. was
called to give evidence respecting a robbery committed to his
prejudice.• As he was preparing to take the oath, the president
of the court desired that he should take the oath in the jewish
manner, Mr. Baumann being known to be of that religion;
Mr. Hammon, refused, alleging the liberty of religious wor- •
ship established by the constitution. which forbids the judges
from inqiiiring into the religion of the witnesses, it being Balla
cient if they took the. oath prescribed by the law. This inci- •
dent, which we state briefly. but which led to a discussion of
three or four hours. terminated by a decision of the court con-
demning Mr. Hamann to pay a tine of 1(1) francs. He in-
tends to appeal to the Court of .dessation.—Brussels paper.
