The TOWN -CLERK having read the Queen's proclamation
against vice and immorality,
The RECORDER proceeded to address the grand jury. He
said.--I am happy to meet you on this occasion under
very different feelings from those we experienced at the ses-
sions held at the corresponding period of last year

No one

can forget the melancholy events of that time. I am, how-
ever, very glad to say, that out of those circumstances has

•
sprungupa very valuable institution, calculated not on y to mi-
tigate much suffering, but also to suppress crime. That institu-
tion cannot be too much recommended; and if its funds should
not be sufficient for its objects, I am satisfied there is feeling
enough in the town of Liverpool not to let it cease from that
circumstance. Looking at the large jurisdiction which this
court now has by the operation of the municipal act, looking
at the extensive population which resides within it, the pre-
sent calendar does seem to be rather a large one. These is,
I am happy to say, a decided decrease of the crimes which
usually had been committed with considerable violence. The

activity of the constabulary force has been, I apprehend, the
great, but not the exclusive cause, of that decrease. But
another class of offences has sprung up, which appears to
have taken the place of those which formerly were attended
with violence. In the calendar you will see a number of
offences effected by contrivance, by deception, and by strata-
; and these seem to have superseded the crimes which
were accompanied with violence. You will observe in the
calendar a considerable number of offences committed in
obtaining goods by false pretences ; but I am sorry to say
the tradesmen of this town are exposed to other kinds of
fraud. Parties take forged orders, and tradesmen, believ-
ing them to be genuine, act upon them, and in this way
they are plundered to a very considerable extent. We see
this in various cases in the calendar. There are two other
cases which I am sorry to see have taken place in this town.
One of them is the case of a domestic servant robbing her
master to the extent of £BO. or £9O. This is a very serious
case. The relative duties of master and servant are of the
last importance to society, and ought nut to be infringed
upon. There is, also, another case—number 41,—0f a con-
fidential servant robbing his master. Toe prisoner is charged
with robbing the prosecutor from time to time, carrying the
property to Manchester, and there disposing of it. These
kind of offences are not within the range of the police. Tne
police cannot prevent them. Every thing, in that respect,
must depend on the conduct and prudence of the par-
ties. The police are very valuable in taking up dishonest
servants when they are detected, but no police in the world
can prevent them. I have always felt it my duty, and I shalt
invariably act upon that feeling, when confidential servant;
rob their masters, to put the sentence of the law into force
against them. I remember very well the great Lord Ellen-
borough transporting a coachman who had pilfered his mas-
ter's corn instead of giving it to the horses. On that occa-
sion Lord Ellenborough, in passing sentence, said—.' tne
relative duties of master and servant shall be kept up and
maintained by me, and when I find them violated I will al-
ways do my duty." The man was transported, and at this
moment he is abroad. There is also another class of cases
in the calendar which I am soiry to say has greatly increased.
You will hardly credit me when I state that one-fifth of all
the cases in the calendar are attributable to the vice of in-
temperance, and to no other cause. Now, when there exists,
as there does at this moment, a very earnest and a very gene-
rous desire to improve the moral conclizion of all classes of so-
ciety, one would hope that no class of persons would be found
to interpose any obstacle to those who would cure intempe-
rance by prevention. It is of the last consequence to public
morals that intemperance, which is the source of so much
crime, should be checked. The law recently introduced into
London, I know, from authority, is operating beneficially.
There the public houses are closed at a certain hour on Sa-
turday night, and are not allowed to open till one o'clock on
Sunday, and 1 hope that by degrees this will become the ge-
neral law of the country. There is also a case in the calendar
of publishing obscene books. That, I am happy to say,
is a very rare offence in the town of Liverpool : and 1
must make the same observation with regard to it as I made
just now, namely, that where there is a growing desire to
improve the moral and religious condition of the people, it is
lamentable to see offences committed which have a tendency
to counteract those efforts. Gentlemen, it is of the last con-
sequence that crime should be put down, not mei ely by force
of law, not merely by the vigilance of the police, but counter-
acted by order and morality spreading through the country.
That is the great source to which we must all look for the
prevention of crime.—The learned Recorder then dismissed
the Grand Jury to their duties.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A DOMESTIC SERVANT.
Mary Mullin, aged 25, pleaded guilty on arraignment, to
an indictment, charging her with having feloniously stolen
eighty sovereigns, one £lO Bank of England note, six £3
Bank of England notes, and one £5 Bank of Ireland note, the
property of her master, Mr. John Hall, corn dealer, of
Queen-square. It appeared that on the 18th November,
the prisoner took an opportunity of entering her master's
bed-room, and broke open a drawer, from which she ab-
stracted the mousy mentioned in the indictment. The rob-
bery was discovered about ten in the evening, and the prisoner
then given into custody. In answer to the Recorder, Mr.
Hall said, the prisoner had been in his servince.only for two
or three days. She brought no character with her, but gave
references, which Mrs. hall was unable to examine in conse-
quence of ill health. The prisoner tied the court she was
guilty of stealing the money, that she took it to her mother,
that her mother told her for the honour of God to take it
back to the owner—and that her mother would have taken it
baek but she did not know where Mr. Hall lived. All the
money with the exception of £2 or £2 lOs was found by an
officer, buried in a field, about a mile from the town—Sen-
tence deferred.

STEALING FROM AN r:MPLOYER

Samuel Thomas, 28, was indicted for having stolen one
box of wards and keys, the property of Robert liridson.
The prosecution was conducted by Mr. PAGET, and the pri-
soner was defended by Mr. VENAULES. When the prisoner
was placed at the bar, it was evident that he was violently
agitated. His lips were livid, his countenance frequently
changed colour, and his frame trembled. The governor of
the gaol said he had been, since he was in confinement, sub-
ject to very severe fits. The Reconie: ordved a chair to be
provided for his accommodation. The trial had not proceeded
long when the prisoner was seized with convulsions. Mr.
Venables intimated that he had been subject to tits from his
youth, and that under their influence he had taken the pro-
perty. Mr. Paget having made some inquiries respecting the
prisoner's character, said he had no desire to press the case.
A. verdict of acquittal was con. equently taken, and the pri-
soner, who was all the time in strong convulsions, was
ordered to be delivered to his ffiellds as soon as he should
be sufficiently recovered.

a better cause, would have been far beyond all praise." -
This is the testimony of an enemy, and after such a
testimony Mr. M`Neile, had he no higher motive,
might pardon the enmity of his adversaries. Here is
the secret of their hostility. But for this, he might
plot and poison as he pleased. The Jezebel" Jere-
miad would have passed without_ rebuke, and not an
arm would have been thrust between the traitorand the
Throne. But Mr. M`Neile has no such impunity to
expect. He has placed, his country-under-too many
obligations, and he he has touched her enemies in a
point the tenderest that can be pressed on consciences
of shame and guilt. He has exposed the profligate
principles by which, in an age of ignorance, they im-
posed upon the world—he has denounced' them with a
fervency and a force which have impressed the public
mind, we trust indelibly, with a conviction of their in-
famy ; and were he but aided as energetically as he
ought, it would be difficult, notwithstanding his hold
upon the human heart, for the Old Serpent again to
enfold any considerable portion of England within his
coil. In truth, we are now in a position to estimate
the amount of our obligations to men like Mr. M`Neile.
" Blessings brighten," as the poet tells us, not while
they are with us, but, " as they take their flight ;" and
it is only when England—should it ever please Provi-
dence so far to abandon her—it is only when England
is again within the grasp of. Popery—her candlestick
removed, her light extinguished, her people performing
a pilgrimage to some holy well, or indulging in the in-
tellectual recreation of bowing before some idol which
their hands have made—it is only then, should a little
of the salt be spared to preserve the case from putre-
faction, that a right sense mill be -entertained of the
magnitude of the services which the Champions of
Christianity have conferred on her. It is the fashion
to hold these men up as the enemies of the people. Why
they are-the best friends the people ever had. It is for
the.people they have toiled and fought—would we could
say, and conquered. Night and day have they devoted'
themselves to their interest. In season and out of
season have they laboured in their service, and la-
boured, too, to secure for them a freedom better than
master ever conferred upon a slave : yet because they
have done this they are misrepresented and reviled.
But, " the disciple is not above his Lord." This is a
part of their wages, and they must be content. ,
Let us Conservatives, however; learn a lesson from
the example of Mr. M'Neile. We see .what, even on
the admission of an opponent, has been effected by a
single man. Few, we know, can accomplish what has
been accomplished by ability and energy like his ; but
have we done What
,in us lay? Are we doing it now ?
Are we acting like men who, instead of being con-
tent with reposing under the laurels plucked,.by others,
are endeavouring each to gather a laurel for himself ?
If not, how can we affect surprise when the battle goes
against us ? Shall we, with the means of victory in
our hands, suffer Ourselves to be driven ingloriously
from the field ? What answer can we give to men
who, having borne the burden and heat of the day,
shall point to our remissness as the cause of their
defeat ?

with privacy. It will be seen that the Baroness Lehzen has
posted herself at the entrance, the door of her apartments
opening directly opposite to the private reception room, or
antechamber of the Queen, so that no person can enter by
the private stair-case without her observation, there being
but a narrow passage between the Baroness and the royal
pair.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE-(YESTERDAY.)

Our; market this morning was rather sparingly supplied
with English wheat; but as We had only a thin attendance,
of town millers, the quantity offering proved fully adequate
to the demand, and whilst the choicest samples found pur-
chasers at about the quotations of this day se'nnight, all
light and inferior descriptions hang heavily on hand, although
a reduction of ls. to 2s. per quarter would have been ac-
cepted. In foreign wheat very little business was transacted,
and the value of this article underwent no alteration. We
experienced a low demand for flour, and the few sales effected
were at last week's rates. The recent arrivals of barley were
large, and our maltsters and distillers evincing little dispo-
sition to purchase, the trade in this grain must be noted dull
at previous prices. Of oats the fresh arrivals from Scotland
and Ireland have been considerable, and a great proportion
having arrived in bad condition, are quite neglected, and
where sales were forced in order to clear vessels, au abate-
ment of 6d. per quarter had to be acceded to. Beans and
peas met a slow sale at our quotations.
