LOCAL NEWS;

STEALING COPPER.---yesterday, at the police-court,
Richard Bryan was commit tag to gaol for three months, for
stealing a quantity of coppefinom one of the docks.

PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.—We understand that the an-
nual meeting of the Liverpool Auxiliary to the above society
will be held on Monday, the 29th instant, when, from the
important nature of its operations and the question's con-
nected with the society, much interesting matter may be ex-
pected. The Chancellor of the Diocese will be in the chair.

LEEDS-STREET AND GREAT HOMER-STREET METHO-
DIST SCHOOLS.—Two sermons were preached in the Metho-
dist Chapel, Great Homer-street, on Sunday, by Mr. Wm.
Dawson, of Leeds, in behalf of the Sunday and Infant Schools
connected with that place of worship. The chapel was
crowded both morning and evening, and we are glad to say
that the collections were considered liberal. Mr. Dawson
preached last evening (Monday) in Pitt-street Chapel.

Sr. MARK'S CHURCH.—We have already noticed that a
sermon was preached in this church by the Rev. H. M`Neile,
and a collection made in behalf of the Liverpool Charitable
Society, amounting to £B3. In addition to this. a further
sum has been contributed by the members of the same
church, exceeding £BO, which has been given under the di-
rection of a committee to the suffering poor, in the shape of
food and coals. The following statement is, we believe,
tolerably correct :—Persons relieved, 499; loaves, (7d) 628;
meat, 877 lbs ; pecks of potatoes, 495 ; coals, 490 cwt.

LIVERPOOL DOCK AND TOWN DUES.—A very influen-
tial meeting was held in Runcorn on Tuesday last, to consi-
der the question of applying to the legislature for exemption
from the dock and town dues of Liverpool, upon vessels tra-
ding to Runcorn. The Manchester Courier states that the
Liverpool Dock Committee have withdrawn all objections to
the claims of Runcorn,—but surely such cannot be the case ;
for however liberal the majority of our dock trustees may be
to the imaginary rights of this rival port, we cannot suppose
they will perßit such an injury to be inflicted upon the inte-
rests of Liverpool as their apathy seems to threaten.
Two VESSELS LAUNCHED AT RUNCORN.—OD Monday
week a fine sloop was launched from the building-yard of
Messrs. John Lathom and Co., Runcorn, and on the follow-
ing day, a large fishing smack was launched from Mr. Ma-
son's slip. The tides on both days were the highest of any
that will occur this year. and the vessels moved gallantly off
their stocks into the river, amidst the shouts of aasembled
crowds, the display of banners in the breeze, and the firing of
cannon. The carpenters and others interested in the vessels
were afterwards regaled by their employers. Our Runcorn
neighbours are warmly congratulated by their Manchester
friends for the specimens of their work which they have lately
sent forth upon the sea, and a hope is held out that the port
of Manchester will, ere long, find employment for their skill
in shipbuilding.
STEALING FROM A VESSEL.—Frank B. Kellison, mate
of an American ship, and a youth named Michael Gore, were
yesterday charged, at the police-court, with being concenied
in taking from the ship a quantity of pieces of sheet copper,
and a bag of copper nails. No leave had been given by the
captain to the mate to send the articles from the ship. It
appeared he had given them to the boy to sell, and was to
pay him for his trouble. Kellison said that he considered he
had a right to take the scrap copper, &c., and dispose of it.
The captain stated that, on the contrary, he had told the
prisoner to collect it together, so that it might not be pur-
loined. The boy was discharged, and Kellison committed to
gaol for three months.

CHURCH OF ENGLAND MISSIONS TO THE JEWS.—On
Thursday evening week, a public meeting was held in the na-
tional school, Runcorn, in support of the Society for Promot-
ing Christianity among the Jews, at which the Rev. H. S.
Joseph, lecturer to the Jews, andi formerly Jewish rabbi, at-
tended, together with Mr. M. Margoliouth, a converted
Jew of Poland, and they communicated some important and
interesting intelligence relative to the present state and pro-
spects of the dispersed children of Israel, and of the success-
ful operations of the society, in exciting a spirit of inquiry
into the evidences of Christianity, and in founding a branch
of our apostolic church at Jerusalem, in which our liturgi-
cal services are statedly nsed. Mr. Joseph related a striking
circumstance in which the traditional and idolotrous services
of the church of Rome presented an insurmountable obstacle
to a number of Jews embracing Christianity.
MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.—The lecture-room of this
institution was, on Saturday evening last, crowded with a
highly respectable audience, to hear a concert of glees and
choruses, performed by the pupils of the senior and junior
classes ofi music, under the able and scientific direction of
Mr. G. Eyton, the master of this department: Tile perfor-
mance did Mr. Eyton and the gentlemen great credit. The
precision with uhich the choruses were given was admirable,
and the effect produced was evinced by the cordial and reite-
rated approbation of the company. The pleasure of the
evening was further enhanced by a performance upon the
" Stone Harmonicon," by the three sons of the inventor and
Mr. Davies, who played several waltzes and airs with brilliant
effect. Master Tyzack, a boy of six years, pupil to Mr.
Eyton, played an air with variations on the violin with asto-
nishing confidence, producing a strong sensation of surprise
and pleasure in all who listened to the performance. We
hope the gratification this performance has occasioned will
induce the committee to repeat it.

WANTON OUTRAGE.—DanieI Murphy was plactd before
Mr. Rushton, on Saturday, charged by Mr. Robert Short-
house with having assaulted him. Mr. Shorthouse stated,
that on the preceding day he was walking along Rodney-
street, when he passed the prisoner and another man. In a
few minutes lie heard a scream, and, looking back, he saw
the prisoner and his companion attacking several blind young
women, in a very indecent manner. He turned round and
remonstrated with them, but they persevered, and their ac-
tions Became still more indecent. Mr. Shorthouse went up
to them, upon which the prisoner's companion ran away.
Mr. Shorthouse succeeded, with great difficulty, in making
the prisoner desist, and he put the blind girls in the right
direction. The prisoner, after this, followed him, calling
him brutal names and abusing him, and at last he struck
him. Mr. Shorthouse called an officer and gave the prisoner
into custody. The prisoner declared that he had no recol-
lection of what had happened, spoke of his respectability,
and said he had been a gentleman's servant. lie attributed
his misconduct: to the influence of drink. Mr. Rushton,
after a suitable admonition, ordered the prisoner to pay £2
and costs, or be imprisoned one month.

IMPORTANT TO BENEFIT SOCIETIES. —A t the police
court, on Friday, a man named Thomas Lloyd, who appeared
to be in a sickly and feeble condition, appeared before Mr.
Rushton, and complained that the relief to which he was en-
titled by the Total Astinence Benefit Society was withheld.
He stated that he was a superannuated member, and had
been ill for fourteen months. The secretary of the society
appeared against the claim. He said that they had no funds;
that the society had been broken up on the 27th of June
last, in accordance with the Litt of parliament ; and that the
fund on hand at the time, amounting to £97, had since been
paid to sick members, as well as an additional sum. The
society had since joined the Independent Rechabites' Society,
and the complainant's name had been also enrolled amongst
the members of that society. A general meeting had been
called at the breaking up of the society. Mr. Rushton ex-
amined the rules of the society, and inquired whether the
complainant had consented to its being broken up. He re-
plied that he had not, for he was then sick in Wales. Mr.
Rushton stated, that that would not do. He found nothing
in their rules that authorised them to break it up without
complying with the requirements of the act of parliament,
(16 Geo. IV. cap. 56, sec. 26,) and these were, that five-
sixths in value of the members should give their consent,
and also that all parties entitled to relief on account of age
or infirmity should give their consent, testified under their
hands individually and respectively. No such certificate was
produced as regarded the present applicant, and the society
must provide for him. (Mr. He f
R.) would not allow of
such juggling changes in societies, evidently resorted to for
the purpose of gettingrid of their superannuated members.
The secretary said he considered such a decision hard upon
them, as the applicant had already received about £4O. Mr.
Rushton :—That is of no consequence, as affecting the justice
of the case. I shall give an order on you for payment, and
shall see that it is enforced.

SEAMAN'S WAGES.—On Friday last by adjournment,
James Williams, chief mate of the ship Berkley, made a
claim against Mr. Samuel Lee Trotman, for two months'
wages, £B.3L.' for the time he was on board the said ship at
Calabar. It appeared that when the complainant was first
engaged as chief mate, a person named Black was master
of the ship, who was discharged, and another master was
substituted, of the name of Rakin. Shortly after Rakin took
command of the ship,
he received orders to take the ship to
another part of tv which the chief mate insisted on
being carried into effect, but. Captain Rakin objected ; this
led to insubordination on the part of the chief mate, and Cap-
tain Rakin was under the necessity of sending to one of the
chiefs for assistance, and three canoes were ordered, and a
sufficient quantity of natives, for the purpose of keeping order
on board the ship. After much disturbance taking place,the
chief mate left the ship at Calabar. It was stated that a Mr.
Wood who was a passenger on board, had made an entry of
the transaction in the log-book, Mr. Rushton ordered
this
case to stand over till yesterday morning, in order that Mr.
Wood might be produced. On Mr. Wood being examined,
it appeared that the whole statement made in the log-book
had been correctly entered, and on this being clearly esta-
blished, Mr. Rushton said he could not permit the mate to
supersede the master, who had full command of the ship ;
o
and that as the complainant had attempted to act contrary
t
the master's orders, he was not entitled to his wages; if the
oivners
law for mutiny chose, they could proceed against him by action at

IMPROVEMENT OF THE MERSEY AND IRWELL FOR
SEA-GOING VESSELS.-It having been announced in Run-
corn that on Wednesday last a party of scientific and mer-
cantile gentlemen, who feel interested in the contemplated
improvements of the navigation, would come down the river
from Manchester in the company of the proprietors' steam-
packet Jacksharp, for the purpose of surveying the naviga-
tion and investigating and discussing the projected under-
taking, the powerful steamer was prepared and despatched to
the Grand Junction Bridge, beyond Bank Quay, to meet the
distinguished party, and convey
veer on their interesting
and most important expedition to Lpool, and round the
floating light ship at Formby. The day was beautifully fine,
and the tide being a very high one, the party had the most
favourable opportunity of prosecuting their designs with
pleasure and advantage. They arrived at, Runcorn about
three o'clock in the afternoon. In passing along the river
they were frequently cheered from its banks by assembled
Y were greeted with a
crowds ; and when they approached the docks of the Mersey
and Irwell Company, at Runcorn, the
royal salute of half-minute guns, and the masts and rigging
of the numerous Irish traders and coasters which crowded
these spacious docks were gaily decked out with flags, and
many rounds of hearty cheering were given from the sailors
on the pier heads, who, according to the very disinterested
representations of our Manchester contemporaries, expect
ere long to moor their ships and discharge their cargoes in
Manchester basin. The day's excursion is hailed as the
commencement in earnest of one of the most magnificent
undertakings for the port of Manchester, that ever was con-
ceived. Our rival port friends grow_ eloquent on this an-
ticipated project, but building castles in the air sometimes
amuses the most talented individuals.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—An inquest was held on Friday
before P. F. Curry, Esq., on view of the body of William
Wynne, a married man, of seventeen years of age. Char-
lotte Chambers said she was the daughter of Mary Cham-
bers, who keeps a cow-house in Finch-street. On Tuesday
night week, about ten o'clock, as she was standing on the
steps at the door, she observed the deceased standing on the
area rails before the house, looking through the window.
He remained on the rails some time, and, at last, made an
effort to jump off backwards, when his trowsers caught the
top of the rails, and he fell backwards and struck the back
of his head against the flags. His feet remained on the
rails. She went to his assistance, and endeavoured to loose
his trowsers from the rail, but was not able to do so, and
she then called some men from the house who came and
lifted him up. He said he was not much hurt, and walked
away, and she did not see himagain until Thursday morn-
ing, when he was dead.—Eliza Wynne said the deceased
was her husband, and was seventeen years old. Last Tues-
day night week deceased was brought home, and complained
of a pain in his head, and was very sick. A surgeon was
called to him, but he never appeared to get any better, and
was at intervals insensible. He died on Tuesday night last.
He never said that he had had a fall, and seemed quite un-
conscious of it.—Mr. Pennington, surgeon, who had attended
the deceased, said, that he found him, on Tuesday week, in a
State of insensibility. He examined his head, but found no
external marks of injury. He prescribed such remedies as
he considered proper, but without avail i he never rallied
He had symptoms of concussion of the brain, and, no doubt,
died from injury to the head. The jury returned a verdict,
that the deceased died from concussion of the brain, caused
by accidentally falling from the rails.

EMIGRATION.. A very extensive emigration is now taking
place to New York. On Sunday the packet ship Sheridan
sailed with upwards of 350 passengers on board ; and a ship
was in the river on the same day with nearly 250. Notwith-
standing the numbers on board,'the accommodation is ample.
THEFT PROM A BOAT-BUILDER'S YARD.-At the police-

uuy, a young man, James Gillon, was charged
with stealing a plane from a boat-builder's yard, and pledging
it. He was seen making his way from the shed over the
back, and the plane was afterwards found at.the pawnbroker's
where he had pledged it. Five other planes and some other
tools bad also been taken. He was ordered to pay three
shillings, the value of the article, also a fine of £5, or, in de-
fault, to be imprisoned for two months.
THE LIVERPOOL UNITARIAN CONTROVERSY.-It will
have been seen by our advertising columns, that this impor-
tant series of lectures, delivered a short time since in Christ
Church in this town, has undergone a considerable reduction
in the price, with a view to accommodate those whose means
did not permit of their purchasing the work when first pub-
lished. We cordially recommend all those of our readers
who have not yet added this valuable book to their libraries
to do so without delay, as, we believe, very few copies remain
unsold.

SMOKING IN A BOAT CONTAINING GUNPOWDER.—At
the police-court, yesterday, a boatman named Hugh Weak-
ley was charged with having been found smoking his pipe
while he was landing some kegs of gunpowder at the Seacom be
Slip, north-end of the Prince's Dock. The case was proved
by police-officer 5015. Mr. Rushton remarked that the prac-
tice was a most dangerous one : it was a wonder, indeed, that
the offender and those near him were not all blown in the air.
He was fined ten shillings and costs.

THE GEEAT LIVERPOOL.—This noble vessel arrived at
Falmouth on Sunday night, bringing about forty passengers.
Her dates of sailing are--from Alexandria Feb; 24 ; Malta
st, and Gibraltar the 7th instant ; being only four days and
five hours from the latter port. The intelligence from the
east received by the Great Liverpool has been in every point
anticipated by that which reached Marseilles by the Prome-
theus steamer, and which was published in the STANDARD
of Friday last.

LIVERPOOL SHIPMASTERS' ASSOCIATION.—We under-
that Captain Hunt, the first of whose interesting lectures on
the same subject was recently reported in the STANDARD,
will deliver his second lecture on Salvage and General
Average to the members of the Shipmasters' Association on
Monday evening next, at seven o'clock. A. topic so impor-
tant to nautical men, and which is oftener mado,the subject
of discussion in books, which are frequently inaccessible to
them, than of instruction by the " royal road " of public
lectures. cannot fail to attract a numerous auditory. The
gallant Captain, too, is equally " at home" behind the lecture
desk as he unquestionably is in his ship, braving the winds
and storms that agitate the deep.
STEALING FROM A DWELLING HOUSE.—Yesterday,
Peter Hunter, apparently a labourer, was charged before
Mr. Rushton, with having entered the house of William
Barton, shipwright, Trafalgar-place, Great Howard-street,
forcing a drawer, and taking out some wearing apparel.
Elizabeth Barton said, she had occasion to go out on Satur-
day night, leaving the house locked. On her return she
found some one had entered by the window, and she missed
a jacket, waistcoat, and trowsers of her husband's, from a
drawer. A neighbour was called in, who sem4 the front
door, and a constable afterwards came—when the prisoner
was found standing on a foot-bear near the parlour, in
which the clothes were found ou the floor, in readiness to be
carried off. The prisoner said he found the window open
and went in. He was committed for trial.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON SHIPBOARD.—AII inquisition was
yesterday held before P. F. Curry, Esq., on view of the body
of William Eades, a seaman belonging to the ship Canton.
Captain Jenion, of the steam-tug Victoria, stated that on
Tuesday last he was towing out the Canton, and when near
the Bell Buoy, he observed the deceased fall upon the deck
with great violence. He had previously been on the fore
topsail yard arm, loosing the sail. He was picked up direct-
ly, and taken to the packet, when the witness and the captain
of the ship saw him shortly afterwards, and found him insen -
Bible and bleeding. Mary Bell said she resided at No. 7,
Dwerry-street, where the deceased lodged with her, and was
22 years of age. The deceased was taken from the packet to
the Northern, Hospital. Mr. Parker, assistant house-sur-
geon of that establishment, said the deceased was brought
there on Tuesday. He had a compound fracture of the right
thigh, and some injury to the head, and these were the cause
of death. lie died on Sunday morning. The jury returned
a verdict to the effect that he accidentally fell, and died from
the injuries he received.
THEATRE-ROYAL.—On Friday Mr. Balls's benefit was
well attended. On Saturday " Richard the Third" was de-
lightfully played. Mr. Elton's Richard is well worth see-
ing : it is replete with charming readings. He rejects alto-
gether the elaptrapisms of many actors of the present day,
and plays it in an even, smooth style, giving us an idea of
the actual character of the crooked-backed monarch—as he
was—not as Colley Cibber and the Keans would have us
regard him. Mrs. Bland's Lady Anhe was excellently done.
No one knows Shakspere better than Mrs. Bland, or more
perfectly understands him. The house was thinly attended,
but those who were present seemed highly pleased with the
performance. Last night, on the occasion of Mr. George
Vandenhoff's benefit, there was an excellent attendance. As
Knowles says_in " The Wife,"

" I see you know my father's face."
Mr. Vandenhoff's likeness to his father is striking, as is also
the style of his acting. Charles Kean resembles his father,
and when he delivered the above passage at the Olympic
Theatre in London, when " The Wife" was first performed,
it was always warmly caught up by the audience. Though
Mr. Vandenhoff wilt ever be warmly welcomed here for his
father's sake, he will also be esteemed for his own : he is
decidedly the most rising actor of the day.—To-night " Vir-
ginius," " Bob Short,' and " Monsieur Tonson," will be
performed. To-morrow " William Tell," " Bob Short,"
and "No Song no Supper." In the latter Miss E. Honner
will make her first appearance. Report speaks well of this
lady, as it does also of Mr. Grainger in French characters,
who plays Tonson. Really, if the Liverpool playgoers will
not visit the Theatre-Royal with a company such as the
present, they ought to be debarred altogether from seeing
the legitimate drama represented.
FORGERY.—Edward Gilbert, a respectable looking young
man was placed before Mr. Rushton, on Saturday, charged
with having forged the acceptance of a bill of exchange, which
he had uttered to Mr. John Holmes Clementson, solicitor,
No. 6 Castle-street. It appeared that Mr. Clementson had
known the prisoner a few months, during which time he had
done business for him. On the 2d March last, the prisoner
took to Mr. Clementson a bill of exchange for £23 16s ; and
saying that he wanted some money to make a payment, in-
duced the latter to lend him £7 10s. The bill was dated the
24th Feb., payable in one month. was signed and endorsed
by the prisoner, and addressed to Mr. Charles Edward
Warneford, by whom, also, it purported to be accepted, pay-
able at Messrs. Cunliffe, Brooks, and Co.'s, bankers, Lon-
don. Mr. Clementson asked who the acceptor was. The
prisoner said he was a respectable young man, a son of Dr.
Warneford, of Gloucester, and a clerk in the Customs. The
bill was left in Mr. Clementson's possession as security, with
the understanding that the prisoner was to repay ten pounds
in one week. The ten pounds included the sum lent and an
account for professional services. The bill was not to be ne-
gociated. The prisoner did not call as he promised, and Mr.
Clementson went to the Custom-house and found Mr.
Warneford, who had been intimate with the prisoner, but
knew nothing whatever of the bill. The signature to the ac-
ceptance was not in Mr. Warneford's handwriting. Mr.
Clementson caused the prisoner to be apprehended. He said
to Mr. Lloyd, the constable who took him into custody, that
he intended to repay the money and take up the bill. The
prisoner had nothing to say in his defence. He was com-
mitted for trial.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY FROM THE DOCK QUAY.—James
Parr, Thomas Brown, John Holbein, and Lear Miller, were
placed at the bar of the Police-court, on Saturday, charged
with having stolen eight puncheons of molasses from the
quay of the Maneliester-basin. An immense quantity of evi-
dence was taken for the purpose of bringing the charge home
to the prisoners. It appears that twenty-four puncheons of
molasses were consigned, through Messrs. Swan, Dixon, and
Co., to a party in Liverpool, who did not immediately send
for them on arrival. They were, consequently, left on the
quay, where Mr. Walsh, one of the partners in the firm
above-mentioned, saw, as he was passing, a cart laden with
three of the puncheons. He inquired where they were going,
and was informed to a warehouse in Finney-lane. This led
Mr. Walsh to perceive that something was wrong. The
puncheons, as they were placed on the quay, had been duly
marked on their heads with lead-coloured paint. Informa-
tion was given to the police, and the result was the discovery
of eight of the puncheons at the warehouse of Holbein, who
is a treacle dealer in Finney-lane. The marks on the
puncheons had been scraped out, and, as a further disguise,
the heads had: been washed over with lime, and new marks
and numbers put on the sides. They were, however, easily
identified. One or two other parties had been'concerned in
the transaction, but they were not yet in custody. From the
evidence, it was plain that the prisoners had proceeded in the
most impudent manner, engaged carts and carried off the
puncheons as if they were their own property. Had not the
discovery been made by Mr. Walsh they would, probably,
have succeeded in carrying off more of the property. They
were committed for trial at the approaching assizes. '

SUICIDE UNDER TEMPORARY DERANGEMENT.—An in-
quest was held yesterday, before Mr. Curry, touching the
death of John S. Mitchell, who had died at the Northern
Hospital. Robert Breeze said he was a passenger in the
ship Queen Victoria, which left New Orleans in February :
the deceased was also a passenger. The vessel arrived at
Liverpool on Saturday evening last, and he went on shore.
Next morning he went on board, and he found the deceased
sick in bed. He was not able to speak. A surgeon was
called, and the stomach-pump applied ; but he did not re-
vive. and was afterwards taken on shore, where witness had
since seen him dead at the Northern Hospital. On Wed-
nesday (while the ship was at sea), witness went into the
after cabin and found deceased there. He appeared confused,
and drank something out of a glass, which witness thought
was brandy or ale ; but on smelling it, he could not detect
any liquor. The deceased said he had taken some morphia,
and would be a dead man in twenty-four hours. Some
emetics were given to him and he recovered. Deceased ap-
peared a very weak-minded man, and was very melancholy
during the passage home.—Captain Wildes Thomas Thomp-
son, of the Queen Victoria, corroborated the last witness.
Deceased had told him he did not want to go on shore, but
to die on board the vessel. He was much reserved, wished
to be by himself, and read a good deal.—(The deceased, it
appeared, was professionally a druggist, and no doubt had
the morphia amongst his luggage.)—Police-officer Hodson
said that on Sunday, while he was at the Prince's Dock
Basin, he was told that a man had poisoned himself on board
the vessel. He went on board, and found him insensible,
with a surgeon attending him.—Mr. Edward Parker,
assistant house-surgeon of the Northern H,ospital, said the
deceased was brought there on Sunday, in a state of com-
plete insensibility with other symptoms which, with the
account he had heard of the case, led him' to the conclusion
that he was labouring under the effects of opium. The
stomach-pump and other means were used, but he did not
recover, and died in about three hours after he was brought
to the hospital. The jury, under the circumstances, returned
a verdict to the effect that the deceased poisoned himself
during a temporary state of derangement.—The relatives of
the deceased are stated to be resident in the county of
Galway.

ROBBERY BY A JUVENILE SERVANT.-At the police-
court, yesterday, a girl named Elisabeth Swift, apparently
of about 14 years of age, was 'placed at the bar, charged
with having robbed, her master's house of a considerable
quantity of property, in plate and clothing. The wife of
Mr. William Bercy, book-keeper, No. 1, Moira-street, stated
that the prisoner had gone into their service on the 20th of
last month, and remained about 16 days. On the afternoon
of the Bth instant, she (Mrs. B.) went out, leaving the pri-
soner in charge of the house, and on her return about five
o'clock, she found the house door open, and the prisoner
gone. The property was then missed, consisting of two
silver table spoons, one silver butter ladle, four silver tea-
spoons, a black satin bonnet, a Saxony dress, a shawl, a
scarf, &c. &c, Bills of the robbery were printed. An old
man named Harrison, said he kept an eating-house in Wigan
On Friday last, the prisoner came to his house, and offered
the spoons for sale, stating that they belonged to her aunt,
who was badly off in the house, and that she wanted lOs for
them. Harrison suspecting all was not right, took them to
Mr. Latham, the chief constable, who returned with him to
the house, and apprehended the prisoner. She told Mr.
Latham that she lived with her aunt at Dalton, who was
badly off, and had sent her to Wigan to raise some money
on the spoons. A constable was afterwards sent to Dalton,
and found at the house of John Swift, the prisoner's father,
all the clothing that had been missed. The whole of the
property was identified. The
.prisoner, who declined saying
anything, was commited for trial at the sessions.

EGGLESTON'S TOOTH PASTE.--The best remedy for this
disagreeable complaint ever brought before the public is Mr.
Eggleston's tooth paste. If it does not altogether eradicate
the disease, it very considerably alleviates the pain.
Tier LIVE: R.—Tilbury had a good house at this theatre
last th., „

urileilLS are novv coming off, we hope tlic
patrons of the " minor drama" will not forget their fa.
vourites. All have seemed to strive to amuse through the
season. It must be remembered that—" Those who live to
please must please to live."

WATERLOO COURSING MEETING.—We beg to remind
those who wish to see this very clever picture of Mr. Ans-
dell's, that it will leave Liverpool positively on Saturday.
Upwards of 80 subscribers has been obtained in Liverpool,
for proofs; before letter and prints. It should be borne in
mind, that impressions are delivered according to rotation
in subscription—" first come, first served ;" therefore, those
who place their names earliest on the list, will obtain the
finest and most brilliant engravings.
