POLICE INTELLIGEIVCE.

On Saturday, Mr. Rushton committed Henry Eswort by
a custom-house officer, to prison for a month for stealing
a quantity of beef, a brush, &c., from a ship in charge of
which he was placed.
On Friday, John Kealey was remanded on a charge of
being concerned in the robbery of Mrs. E. Sutcliffe, Great
Charlotte-street, in July last, when a watch and gold cha n
were stolen.
On Thursday, Elizabeth Jones, of Pownall-square
market, charged with having 66 lbs. of haddock unfit for
human food, was fined 20s. and costs. —Jane Hymn end
Mary Wilson were fined 10s. each and costs, for similar
offences, in the same market.

Mary 'Grice. the wife of a shoemaker employed by Mr.
Roberts, of Pitt-street, was committed for trial, by Mr.
Rushton, on Saturday, for stealing a quantity of shoes.
She was in the habit of taking her husband's dinner, and
had pawned at different places numbers of Mr. Roberts's
shoes—at one place as many as fifteen pairs.
MORE LUCKY THAN WlSE.—Eliza Reynolds and Ma-
tilda Johnson were charged with stealing a watch and 6s.
from Joseph Vaughan, who bad been drinking with them
at a public-house in Simpson-street. Fortunately for
the young man, the watch was found in the channel,
where it had been dropped by one of the girls on their
apprehension. They were each sentenced to two months'
imprisonment.

THE PRETENDED CHOLERA DOCTORS.—O❑ Thursday
Michael Langley, the prisoner who refused to give his
name on Monday, and who was remanded, was again
brought up ; and another fellow, named Frank Macna-
mare, was also placed in the dock, as being concerned in
the charge. Mr. Rushton denounced the conduct of the
prisoners as the worst he had ever met with, and commit-
ted them both for trial.

THE PAWNBROKERS.—On Wednesday Superintendent
Clough complained to the magistrates of the conduct of
several pawnbrokers in not having sent information to
him of a watch which was stolen from the mate's cabin of
one of the Isle of Man steamers. It had passed through
their hands two or three times since bills of the robbery,
describing the number and appearance of the watch, had
been delivered to them. Mr. Rushton could do nothing,
unless a charge were preferred against the pawnbrokers for
buying stolen property.
THE LATE OCCURRENCE IN CUNLIFFE-STR FET.—
On Wednesday, John Eager was brought up, and further
remanded, on a charge of shooting his brother, in Cun-
liffe.street, about a month ago. The man, who, it will
be remembered, received two slugs in his stomach, was
discharged from the Northern Hospital, on Saturday
week, cured. He has not come forward to prosecute his
'brother since his discharge from the hospital, and on
Thursday the prisoner was, in consequence, acquitted
with a severe admonition from Mr. Rushton.
SERIOUS ASSAULT.— A gaily-dressed young female,
with a fashionable small bon.let, blue veil and artificials,
and a terrible black eye, (rather an unseemly contrast,)
charged Mary Ann Taylor and another girl, with assault-
ing her violently without any provocation, in Church-
street, at eleven o'clock on Thursday night. In the affray
she also lost her ear-rings, which have not since been
found. The two prisoners denied the charge, and com-
plained of sundry kicks, pushes, and other violence from
complainant and her sister. The black eye, however, was
proof positive of the violence committed, and the two,
prisoners were tined £5, or two months' imprisonment.
• On Wednesday an application was made concerning
the affairs the Toxteth Park Loan Society, by a gentle-
man whose name did not transpire. He said that he had
taken sixteen shares, and paid £205, upon which, he was
led 'to understand, he would receive 25 per cent. The
society had not been doing any business since July, and
the parties working the society had divided the money and,
turned into shareholders. He was unable either to get prin-
cipal or interest, and wanted the return of the money. Mr.
Rushton could not interfere in the matter, theapplicant was
a partner in a bad concern. He should have been content
to put cut his money upon good security, at a small per
centage, and it would have been safe. In answer to a
question from the applicant, Mr. Rushton said he could
take further proceedings in the Chancery Court, if he
liked to go to the expense of a suit.

ROBBERY BY AN ASSISTANT.—On Thursday, a female
of respectable appearance, named Flora Fry, belonging to
the company of poses plastiques, which bit ly per'oraied
in this town, was placed in the dock for having received
two £lO notes from a young man, lately in the employ of
Mr. Atkins, tea dealer, knowing them to have been
stolen. Officer Tuck proceeded to a house in Hygeia-
street, to apprehend a young man, who hal been an as-
sistant in the employ of Mr. Atkins, tea dealer, but had
absconded with two £lO notes. On arriving at the house,
Tuck stated that he could not at first effect an entrance
into the room, something having been put against the
door ; ultimately, with the assistance of another
person, the door was forced open, when the pri-
soner only was to be found, the young man having
escaped. Search having becu made, one of the notes
was found in the prisoner's hand, and the sum of £l6 13s.
in cash, was found in the bed. The young man, it ap-
peared, had become enamoured of the prisoner, and had
left home about three weeks ago in consequence. Mr.
Rushton stated that it did not appear she had any
knowledge of the robbery ; she was consequently dis-
charged.

LIVERPOOL COLLEGE OF CHEMISTRY.—It is highly
gratifying to be able to state that, although established
scarcely a year, it has been productive of the most satis-
factory results. Numerous young men are availing them-
selves of its advantages • and, in May last, quite a sensa-
tion was caused in the lecture-room of the Chemical
Society of London, on the reading of two papers by pupils
of the Liverpool College—one " On the sulphites of po-
tassa, chromium, lithia, and bismuth," by Mr. J. Dan-
son, ; the other, " On a Singular Substance resulting from
Cloves," by Dr. Robert Scott. The advantages from
such an institution cannot well be over-estimated; and
while we have had a Davy in Cornwall, and a Dalton in
Manchester, it is probable an equally bright halo will, at
a future period, encircle the name of Muspratt, of Liver-
pool.
ATROCIOUS CONDUCT.—It is incredible to what lengths
the blind passions even of great public companies will
lead them. The public narrowly escaped a frightful catas-
trophe on Tuesday, in the opening of the Great Northern
line, when the trains were about to run from Doncaster to
Leeds. The superintendent at Doncaster, having heard
it whispered that something was going on at the julvtion of
the Doncaster line with the Midland Railway at Methley,
sent over a special engine before the trains, and found the
servants of the Midlani Company had removed the
points at the junction, so that had the train proceeded
thither it would have inevitably run off the road. This
was done without any notice, in consequence ,of some
dispute between the two companies, for which the Mid-
land Company would have made the lives of Her Ma-
jesty's subjects pay. Such an outrage must surely meet
with its due punishment.—Doncaster Chronicle.
WINTER FASHIONS.—Owing to the present influx of
strangers into this town, we perceive Mr. John Cripps, of
48, Bold-street, has, by perseverance andinterest, obtain-
ed, even thus early, from both the French and British
manufacturers, their winter novelties. He is always
anxious for his friends or strangers to call ; and whilst
every facility is afforded for either inspection or purchase,
those urgent appeals to buy, so frequently c ,roplain.ll of,
are never allowed at his establishment. A magnificent
stock of shawls, mantles, and furs, with prices strictly
economical, are advantages so obvious that they must at
once convey to the purchaser, especially strangers, the
utility and self-interest of a visit to his establishment, 48, •
BOkl-street.
DROPSY CURABLE BY THE USE OF HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.
—The singular efficacy of Holloway's Pills in the numer-
ous cures effected by their use, in some of the most ob-
stinate cases of dropsy, is truly astonishing. This medi-
cine acts with such peculiar effect upon the system, that
the fluids arising from this direful disease aro impercepti-
bly evacuated, and wholly prevented from any further
accumulation. The distressing symptoms which accom-
pany the complaint being thus dispersed, the sufferer
regains buoyancy of spirits, and a completely renovated
constitution follows. Females, at a particular period of
life, whose cases frequently end in dropsy, should have
recourse to these admirable pills.
To THE LADIES.—The powerful influence of the sun
on the skin at this period of the year calls for increased
attention in preserving its delicacy and beauty. The most
pleasing and effectual specific for this desirable object is
ROWLANDS' KALYDOR, so deservedly established,in royal
and public favour and estimation. Its application neu-
tralizes the effects of atmosphere, and induces that healthy
