TRADESMEN'S CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION

• -
Last evening, the monthly meeting of this Association was
held in the large room of the York Hotel, Tarleton-street,
Alexander Smith, jun., in the chair. The meeting, was very
fully attended; and was addressed by Mr, Carson, Mr. Cooper,
a gentleman from Bristol, whose name we could not ascertain,
and others.

Amongst other topics, the general increase of Cons.rvative
principle thoughout the country was alluded to, and the satis-
factory prospects which it afforded.
The meeting was reminded, that the time for the registration
of votes was approaching, and the members of the association
were urged to make every exertion in seeing that no conserva-
tiVe votes remained unregistered, and to obtain information re-
specting illegal radical votes, that the late splendid triumph of
the conservative cause in this town may not be lust but secured.
A question was asked of the chairman, if there had been any
intelligence received as to the state of the Earl of liarrowby's
health, it being rumoured, that he was dangerously ill. The
chairman stated, that he had made inquiry, and so far as he had
been able to learn, it was only a rumour. Lord Sandon's
friends in Liverpool•had received no communication respecting
it.

A resolution was.passed, that if no steps be taken by the cor-
poration to have some public manifestation of loyalty on the day
of the coronation of the Queen, (28th of June,) that a special
meeting of the Conservative Tradesmen's Association should be
called, to determine on some mode of publicly expressing the
loyalty and attachment to her Majesty of the members of the
association. _ . _

Several new members were proposed and admitted, and the
proceedings terminated before ten o'clock.

WOOL TRADE.—The London trade is described as somewhat
firmer, probably owiug to a demand for foreign consumption.
Three or four thousand bales will be offered for sale at Liver-
pool on Thursday next, and on the same day, a small parcel of
Scotch wool saved from a wreck is announced for sale at Hull.
DONCASTEIt Woo'. M A RKET.—It appears that the first wool
market of the season appointed to he held in this borough for
the sale of long wools, will take place on Saturday next, the
2d of June.

YORK WOOL MARKET, MAY 24.—Our new markets for the
season have opened this day, but in consequence of the late
cold weather sheep shearing has not become general, conse-
quently but a very small quantity of new wool has been pitched.
The attendance of buyers from the manufacturing districts is
favourable to the impression that wools are wanted. In the
absence of so ea- bone fide transactions, it wi uld be absurd to
give any quotation of prices.

PGLICE LVTELLIG

ROfIRING AN IMMIGRANT.—At the Police-office, on Friday;
two men were charged by an American immigrant with having
robbed him of his clothes-chest on the preceding day. He
stated that, after lauding from the vessel, he employed the pri-
soners at the tsar, together with another loan, to carry his
lug-
gage. Uri the ur4y to his temporary domicile, one of the men-
named Higgins, invited him into a 11~11bi ie-hOUCk to take a glass
of ale, to which he consented; bitt Cu leaving the house he dis-
covered that his luggage, together with two persons whom he
had employer, had gmie. The prisoners declar,et.that the coin-
plainant had sold the box to one of the party, "Tamed Browth
not then in custigly, fdr 6s. Complainant—" Six Shillings!
It's morally impossible, your worship." The prisoners again
declared that it was not only possible, but true: the box con=.
tamed only two or three poundS of biscuit and a small piece of
ham. The imuligrant, however, asserted that it contained a
great quantity of provisions, the temaiuder of his stores, bssides
some wearing apparel. The prisoners were each sentenced to
three month's imprisonment.

THEFT By a CLERE.—Joseph Brace was, on Saturday, placed
before Mr. Hall, charged with having robbed his employer,
Mr. Benjamin Boulton. The latter is an .auctioneer, whose •
sale-rooms are in Marvhone. Mr; Boulton said, the pristiner
t ntered his service in November last, and remained till the 6th
April, when be absconded. This gave him some suspicion,auil
he examined his office and premises in consequence. From a
drawer he missed a pistol, and from other parts of the rooms a
quantity of apparel and a pair of brass candlestickss. The pri-
soner had left a box behind him : witness examined it, and
found that it contained a number of pawn-tickets. Constable
Flockhart was sent for, and the tickets were taken to the various
pawnbrokers' shops; where the missing articles were found.
Flockhart took the prisoner into custody at a house in Leigh-
street. The articles were produced by the several pawn-brokers
with whom they had been pledged; and they were identified by
prosecutor. The prisoner bad nothing to say, and he was com-
mitted for trial.

CHARGE OF ROBBERY:—Yesterday, at the police-office, a
man and his wife named John Floyd and Ellen Floyd, were
placed at the bar, charged with having robbed an old man
named James Batton, living in Iloratio-street, in whose house
they lodged, of 25 sovereigns. The complainant, an exceedingly
old man, was unable to make himself intelligible, and his daugh
ter was then examined, and stated that she charged the female
with robbing her father of 25 sots. The money was safe in her
father's trunk on Priday afternotin. On Saturday noon she
went out, and on her return found her father's trunk broken.
open and the money gone. The female prisoner had not a
penny on her person before, and afterwards three shillings and
a penny were found upon her; Mr. Hall:—Then lam to take
it for granted, that because she had three shillings and a penny
in her pocket she stole the sovereigns? There being no other
evidence against either of the prisoners, Mr. Hall said he must
.discharge them.
PASSING BASE COlN.—Yesterday, at the police-office, seve-
ral parties were charged before the magistrates with attempting
to pass counterfeit shillings, in St. John's market and other
places. An old Irishwoman was charged with attempting to
pass a bad shilling and a bad sixpence in payment for some meat
at a butcher's stall in St, John's market. In defence she said
she had taken them in change. She was discharged after re-
ceiving a reprimand,—An Irishman named Gleanan, was
charged by Mr. Webster, Druggist, in Bridgewater-street, with
having attempted to pass a bad shilling at his shop on Satur •
day night: His young man sent for hint into the shop, and sail
that the prisoner was the same man who had paid him a bad
shilling on the 13th instant. As soon us the prisoner heard
what the young man said, he snatched up the shitling from the
counter and ran out of the shop. He (Mr. Webster) followed
him, and after a long chase, succeeded in taking him into cul..
tody. Mr. Hall said he should remand him fur further enquiry.
STEALING FLOWERS.—Yesterday, at the police-office, two
raggamulfin looking fellows wete placed before the magistrate's
on a charge of stealing some flowers from the garden of a gen-
tleman residing in Rescoininon-street. Police-officer, No. 5,
steed, that on Sutiaay morning, about four o'clock, he was in
the rear of Roscommon-street, when he beard a noise, and found
the two prisoners running away. He stopped them and asked
them what they ware running for ? and they replied they were
running a race. When be went mound to Roscommon-street, a
gentleinii`n thiew up a window and asked hint if he had seen two
men running away ? and said that they had been stealing some
&wets out of the next garden. He then followed the men and
took them iuto custody. A gentleman named Moore, said that
he heard a noise in a garden adjoining, belonging to Mr.
'Fletcher, and saw the two prisoners in custody stealing the
flowers. The men, when he opened the window, ran away.
The flowers were continually Leing stolen from the gardens
there. Mr, Hall wished to know what the value of the flowers
taken would be. The witness said he did not know; he should
think Mr. Fletcher would not take 53. fur them. Mr. Hall said
he must not have the fanciful value, be must have the real
value, otherwise he must discharge them. No one being able
to speak to the value of the flowers, the men wets discharged
with an admonition.

BURGLARY.—Yesterday, at the police•ofce, a lad named
Clay was placed before the magistrates, on a charge of entering'
a house on SUnday night, during divine service, and in the ab-
sence of its inmates, stripping it of a large quantity of articles.
Mrs. Elizabeth Shaw stated that she resided in Great Howard
StreCt, and on Sunday night went to St. Paul's church, locking
up her house. tin her return, as she was about to enter, the
prisoner rushed out with a bundle and almost knocked her
down, and then ran away. She called to the police to stop
him, and he was eventually taken into custody. On his pet-
sou were found four silver table spoons, and some silk hand-
kirchiefs, and in the butrile a large quantity of articles of cloth-
ing, which he had packed up, all belonging to the coMplainant.
She fund her house completely ransacked. It was stated that
the prisoner, though quite a young boy, had been five tunes
committed for felony. The iufor►nationS for his trial at the
sessions, were ordered to be taken against him.

EVERTON AND KitikriAte. Floßat AND HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY.—It Will be seen, by au advertisement in our paper of
this day, that the show of flowers,_ &c., by this society, will take
place on Thursday next, at the Derby Arma, Kirkdale.

. . -
We understand that the late Mr. °ramrod, of Brunswick-
road, bas generously bequOathed to his medical attendant, Mr.
Ortt, the sum of five hundred pounds.

The general rate of,travelling of the first-class coaches on the
Liverpool and Manchester railway is now thirty miles an hour;
and within the last fortnight the whole thirty miles have been
performed in forty-Bdt'en minutes.
ROBBING THE DEAD.—lsaac Kirkham and John Williamson
have been committed for trial, on the charge of stealing the con=
tents of a watch-fob from the body of a drowned sailor found in
the river Mersey, at Walton, near the railway bridge. The de-,
ceased is supposed to be one of the crew of the American vessel
wrecked some short time ago, at Liverpool.
The Earl of Derby has left Grosvenor-square to superintend
the improvements going on at Knowsley Hall. We regret to
learn that the noble earl has been lately suffering from a severe
attack of deafness. The Hon. Captain and Mrs. Charles
Stanley are occupying the family mansion in Grosvenorlsquare.

STREET ROBBERY.—Uri Monday night, a commercial traz
yeller, while walking the streets of Warrington, had his pocket-
book stolen. Amongst the Contents was a branch bank orEn-
gland note for £lOO, a £2O note 3 and several smaller ones of
diffetent local banks.

BUSINESS OF THE PoucEscobiti'.—Yesterday, at the Polices
court, there was ho less than 55 persons brought up es
ous characters, sod charged with petty felonies; 20 were booked
for assaults on policeofficers, &c., and 86 for disorderly con,
duct—in all 161 cases to be heard! About four-fifths of the
parties chargt..ci were Irish.
_ _

FIDDLER'S FEHR Y ItA ILWAY BILL.—The Grand Junction
Railway Company, who were the promoters of this bill, have
suffered a parliamentary defeat. Au adverse division took place
in committee, on Tuesday last, the majority 24 and the minority
20, and which has led to its abandonment, and under circum-
stances which, we apprehend, will preclude it from being again
brought forward.
DESPATCH or BUSINESS.—The barque Royal Mint, belong-
ing to Messrs. Joseph Brooks Yates and Co., arrived in our
river, 111)m Jamaica, on Tuesday night last, discharged her car-
go of 616 hogsheads, tierces, and puncheons of sugar, coffee, and
rum, besides a large quantity of dyewood, pimento, &e.,in about
24 hours, took in her outward cargo of plantation stores, and
sailed again on Saturday morning. We do not recollect ever
hearing of such an instance of despatch before, in this ur any
other port.

THE 1 HEATRE ROY A L.—Last evening, the Theatre was
crowded by a must fashionable auditory; the grand attraction
being the Italian Opera, Buffa: Liverpool evinces a detidedly
musical taste ; for whenever there is any musical attraction,
in the acknowledged platies of public amusement, it is generally
well patronized Last evening, iticci's Opera, Buffa, "
Adveutura di Scaramticcia" was performed. The choruses
were occasionally very striking ; the bass voices were, perhaps;
too powerful, drawing the voices of the female singers. Signor
Bellini, and Mademoiselle Vermani, each acquitted themselves
exceedingly well. Their acting was sometimes very ludicrous..
The engagement of this lialian Company promises to be 3.
lucrative one for the management,
LIVER TitasTaE.—Messrs: Schermanns have opened this
theatre as a Fancy Bazaar. The pit is boarded_gyer, and forms
an agreable promenitoe. The company are elffertained at in-
terva:s during the evening, with music and singing. There is
a good disdlay of fancy work, in desks, porcelain, boxes, &c.
The attendance last week was pretty good.
ZOOLOGICAL GsitnEtss.—The picture of Vesuvius at these
gardens is in a forward state, and it is expected to be completed
by Monday next. Mr. Danson, the artist, has been actively
engaged upon it for some time past, and it promises to be one
of the most singular and interesting' exhibitions in Liverpool;
In its unfinished state, with the canvass barely covered over, the
effect is most extraordinary. In the back ground, towering on
high, is the volcano, the town of Naples at its foot, and the
bay, studded with fishing-boats, fills up the foreground of the
picture. It will, doubtless, attract crowds to see it. We untlei-'
stand, that at night, during the erruption, the effect wilt be
grand in the extreme.
HOPE SHA LI, WHISPER HAPPY DAYS"—Et Ballad, 'by
James Stonehouse, author of the Prize Glue " Smiling Mirth,'
" King and Fatherland," &c., the music by William Shephard.
Palmer, Bold-street. Our correspondent who assumed the
loyal and gallant signature of " Vice la Reine," has just pub-
lished a new Ballad under (he above title; we trust he will be
equally fortunate with this publication, as with those he has
hitherto launched upon the troubled sea of public opinion. The
music is very pretty, and the accompaniments exceedingly
harmonious and well arranged.
GuNt.oWDEn ON BOARD A VESSEL.—Tito inspectors of
police, having received information that there was a quantity of
gunpovrder on board the• George Cabot, an American ship,
lying in the Queen's Dock, proceeded on board On Thursday
afternoon, and enquired from the captain whether the informa
tion was true. • lie admitted that it was, and consented that the
powder should be brought on shore, which *as accordingly
dune. The, powder, weighing above 2 cwts. was in two large
copper boxes; there was also a small keg, holding six orsevett
pounds. An information; we believe; will be laid.

STRam.—An advotisentent appears in our columns this day,
headed "the original Liverpool and New York Steam-packtt
Company." To this project justice comtnands us to call public
attention and patronage; because, on a reperusal of its pros-
pectus. now before the public for a period of nearly two years,
it will be perceived that all the advantages therein stated is
likely to be derived from a communication by steam between
Liverpool and New York, have been realized in the successful
termination of the voyages of the Sirius and Great Western.
The company's claim to originali!y is therefore well supported,
and as we ate informed that the direction will be occupied by
gentlemen of practical and efficient ability, we cannot for a
moment entertain a doubt of its being carried yomptly into
successful operation.
TRADE OF OLDta A st. —The commissioners for investigating
the condition of hand-lonin weavers are expected to visit Oid-
ham shortly, but their labours here will probably be sexy light,
for there ts scarcely a tON n in the county where there are so few
of this class of distressed operatives; though not many yeata
ago a large proportion nt the population were employed on the
hand-loom. The state of the cotton manufacttire is not alto-'
gether highly favourable, arising from the large quantifieS t‘t
goods on hand ; still the machinery of all the cotton mills is in
operation full time. The batting branch is active at this mo-'
men(; but it may suddenly become dull, in a short period, from
went of steadiueas in the derria,44.

Lord Athunree, the libertine, in the following lines, describes
Dc Grey, the preux chevalier of the piece, and further describes
the character of the obnoxious dance :
• " He is a man of sentiment !
Sentiment, mark you! that is, flesh and blood
1' the summer cool as spring—or water, sit,
At the boiling point without a bubble—or wood
Without ignition in the heart of fire !
An ample span of forehead!—Mark !—a full
Aud liquid eye—free nostrils—crimson lips,
Cushioning one another without stint
Of the velvet—and a chin could show a copse
Of beard—a man, sir, with all these. and yet
With wishes innocent as thoughts of babes!
A lie, sir, on the face of it !—yet such
He passes for unto himself—believes
Indeed he is, and doth of others judge
But thro' the colour of this self-delusion—
Particularly women. He would have them
Earth to himself—to all else, thingi of Heaven !
Impassive to impression, as the air
Which man ne'erlet gave form or colour to!
~` Felton—Well ?
" Lord Athunree—l did dance with her just now.
"Felton—Fair Hero?
" Lord Athunree—Yes; I did dance with her a free
And liberal dance—the dance of contact, else
Forbid—abandoning to the free hand
The sacred waist! while face to face, till breath
Doth kiss with breath, and eye embraceth eye
Your traused coil relaxing, straight'ning, round
And round in wavy measure, you entwine
Circle with circle, till the swimming brain
And panting heart in swoony lapse give o'er!
" Felion —I know; that foreign dance thou didst bring home.
" Lord Athunree—The very same; I taught it her, and first
Did dance with her to-night.
Felton—l had adniir'd
To see you.

Thus, after trials great, and travailled pain,
Oir earthly pilgrimage at length pass'd o'er,
We; crossing Jordan's tearful river, gain
The blissful vision of that radiant shore.
Like those crusades bold, in by-gone years,
Who, with the sacred sign upon their breast,
Beheld that city crown their prayers and tears ;
So 'we behold our Heaven of peace, and joy, and rest.

But the wild torrent, midst the gloomy pines,

Hail to-the mountains, hail !
Ilail to the mountains !—strength and pride are theirs;
They lift their lofty heads
Above this world and its unhallowed cares,
Where the pay cloudlaud spreads,
And gladly rusheth forth the fearless gale :
Hail to the mountains, hail!
Power sits amidst the hills ! the clouds have swept
Where mortal never trod;
They seem as holy places separate kept
For the bright steps of God,
Passing when storms his glorious presence veil:
Ilail to the mountains, hail!
Lo, where the peasant's cottage nestles warm,.
Couched at their mighty feet;
Sheltered from many a blast of wintry storm,
Shaded from a summer's heat;
Placed by the water-springs that shall not fail :
Ilea to the mountains, hail !
Yea, though the avalanche, perchance, is hidden ,
Amidst those crested peaks,
Its fall by God's great power is checked or bidden,
When in his storms he speaks ;
Therefore the Switzer's spirit doth not quail:
Hail to the mountains, hail!
And hail to this fair picture, that bath caught
The spirit of the land,
And its stupendous features hither brought
Before us to expand;
And while by fancy's power their heights we scale,
Hail to the mountains, hail!

Disparted lips, and colour vanishing.

THE *TON RADICALS.-SYMPTOMS OF
WEAKNESS.

( From the Manchester Courier. )
The following is a copy of a printed circular addressed
to the reformers of Asliton-under-Lvne. Our readers
will perceive it is quite a curiosity in its way :

Ashton-under-Lyne, May 16i11, 1833.
Sir,—The result of the last general election convinced the re-
formers of this borough and neighbourhood that some plan of
organization was absolutely necessary, to preserve our rights,
and check the growing influence of toryism; after much delibe-
ration a reform association, having for its object a diffusion of
useful iefortnation, was agreed upon, and from the promised
support of a number of influential gentlemen, to meet the first
outlay in fitting up a room, it was established. Three daily
and a number of weekly papers are taken. In addition to this,
other expenses have been incurred in printing, battling with
the registration courts—church rates, &c. The promised sup-
port, which was estimated at about £4O, though it was generally
esteemed a trifle fora large. community to raise, yet it was never
raised, at least, not more than one fourth; consequently the
association though it might be able to meet its current expendi-
ture by its subscriptions, yet the debt of the first outlay hangs
over it, and prevents the body from being as useful to she pub-
lic as it otherwise might be. This is to be lamented tbe more
when we consider the fact, that the tories are well organized by
a similar institute, and well supported by the wealthy of their
tribe. We are now under the painful necessity of tanking, known
our situation, in the full assurance that as reformers you will
not by apathy let our institution sink, and the tories triumph
over you by neglecting it. Your assistance at this dine is par-
ticularly desirable, as an important struggle is about to take
place. in the carrying of a liberal overseer, which will meterially
assist the cause of registration, and which the association would
gladly uudertake if funds were not wanting.
The association is at all times a rallying point for the reform-
ers of the neighbourhood, and its past exertions need no com-
ment to those who have felt its usefulness, and if extinct would
soon be sensible of the loss. We confidently hope that our ap-
peal will not be in vain ; certain it is, if we are not supported,
our future success will be doubtful, and the triumph of our op-
ponents complete by the extinction of our associated body.
Donations will be thankfully received from those that the
committee cauuot conveniently wait upon, by the treasurer,
Mr. E. Lees, machine-maker, Stamford-street, Ashton ; or the
president, Mr. G. Clay, surgeon, Ashton.—Signed on behalf of

Sir Valentine De Grey subsequently thus explains his feelings
on the point, the justice of which, we leave to the cousideration
of all fair votaries of Terpsichore. We regret thus to mutilate
a dialogue which will be found in its complete state full of spirit,
vigour and nature:—
`• Felton—Are you not fond of dancing then ?
"Sir Valentine-1 am—
Innocent pastime taken innocently
In honest mood!—But there are natures, sir,
That should eschew it—which 'tis pernicious to—
As wine, that's mirth to some, to some is madness!
I find no fault with dancing ! 'Tis an act
Sets beauty off, proportion, grace; whet: these
Are too set off by modesty. For men
And women mole especially. of the vein
That's opposite, l'd hate them lookers on—
For their own sakes first—next for the sake of those,
Who what they'd hlusla to do, do grieve to see
Enacted.

" Felton—Was there any dance to-night
Offended you ?

"Sir Valentine —N—o. sir, I cannot say—
Perhaps there is no hal in in any dance.
1 am not.sure—Some may give too much license—.
Yet not so much, but e'en in such a case
By delicacy 'twill be carried off
Be.comingly. I might perhaps object—
Yet where's the thing that can defy objection?
But this I say, sir, and I'll stand to it,
That modesty being to Woman more
Than beauty—for without, is beauty cheap—
That woman who cloth show her beauty off
Before her modesty, forgets herself,
And merits forfeit of that high respect
Which noble minds would hear her!"

We hope our contemporary of the Guardian, who has
taken so much pains to make known the contents of a
circular relating to the expenses incurred by the conser-
atives of South Lancashire, will also favour his readers
with a copy of the above. The facts mentioned are strik-
ingly illustrative of the flourishing state of liberalism at
Ashton-under-Lyne. The first sentence contains a con-
fession that the conservative cause has obtained such a
Sooting in the horouf,4l as to cause the greatest alarm to
' the radicals. Though they were successful at the last
election, " the glowing influence of torvisnm" rendered
" some plan.of organization absolutely necessary;" and
nothing seemed so likely to prevent the triumph of tory-
Ism as the establishment of a reform association. But
alas! though the very existence of liberalism at Ashton
is at stake, all that these associated worthies have been
able to raise for the "diffusion of useful information,"
" battling usith the re,istration courts—church-rates,"
&c.., is 'the paltry sum of ten pounds ! Oh, Mr. Hind-
" call ye that tacking of your friends ?" Is the
cause of "reform" in such a hopeless conditier. at Ash-
tun that its most opulent. viol-Totters do not think it worth

The latter lines, in which an inestimable truth is expressed
with true poetic nerve, were, we need scarcely say, ardently ap-
plauded on the first representation of the drama, and, we doubt
not, were so likewise last night. We hope to find room for a
few more extracts from this masterly work.—Murning Herald.

WILFUL AND MALICIOUS DAMAGE DONE TO STEAM ENGINES.
—On the night of Tuesday the Bth inst., two steam engines, be-
longing to Mr. E. Grundy, at Breightmet colliery, were so ma-
leriallv injured as to render them unfit for use on the following
day. 'l'he tappets haffbecn taken off, the valves damaged, some
pipes cut, and other damage done to one of the engines; and
the water in the upper lodge had been turned ►nto the lower one,
the bank of the lower one tut away, and the water turned into
the coal pit, so that none of the men could work in the pit. The
other engine was damaged, but not to the same extent. Three
men, named John Jackson, William Lockton, and John Lock-
ton, who had been discarded from the works, were ch'trged with
the commission of the offence, and brought before the bench.
After hearing the evidence, the magistrates committed the
three prisoners to the quarter sessions for trial.—Manchester

of Jan. 28th, doting a somewhat extraordinary display of the
northern lights, the person in question became so highly charged
with electricity, as to give out vivid electrical sparks from the
end of each finger to the face of each of the company present.
This did not cease with the heavenly phenomenon, but con-
tinued for several months, during which time she was constantly
charged, and giving off electrical. sparks to every conductorshe
approached. This was extremely vexatious, as she could nut
touch the stove nor any metallic utensil, •without first giving off
an electrical spark, with the consequent twinge. The state most
favourable to this phenomenon was an atmospheie of about 84-)
Fah., moderate exercise, and social enjoyment. It disappeared
in an atmosphere approaching zero, and under the debilitating
effects of fear. When seated by the stove, reading, with her
feet upon the fender, she gave sparks at the rate of three or more
a minute, and under the most favourable circumstancestspse
