'LI VER POOL POL ICE,

DIMINCTION OF CRIME !—Yesterday, at the Police-office,
there were 121 cases booked to, be heard, 42 of which were for
felony.. "This exceeds considerably the amount of crime of the
days of old police, whilst the present police force is double
in number that of the old. We don't say this in blame of the
present police, nor in praise of the old ; only a few such
awkward facts as these, tend no little to render valueless the
often repeated assertions of Mr. Joshua Walinsley, and the
Watch Committee, of "the great diminution of crime," under
the efforts of the neWipolice.

Tint Quitarc—lt is currently reported, and we believe on
good foundation, that Her Majesty is about to reside for some
months in this neighbourhood (Southampton). ad health is
assigned as a reason.—Hampshire paper.
BODY WASHED ASHoRH.—The body Of a into was disco.,
vered, last night, lashed to some rigging, belonging to a, small
vessel which sunk on this shore la.st Wednesday, and br„,ight.
to the hearse-house near the church this morning-. He had on
only a pair of blue trowsers, in the pockets of which was Is. 30.
And a watch•guard about his neck. The body will be -deceutly
interred as soon as the coroner's inquest taken.—Formby,.

THE LARGEST ORGAN IN LANCASHIER.—,
k, new organ to.
now erecting fur St. Mark's Church, by Messrs. Bewsher
and
Fleetwood, of town, which will be the largest in this..part
of
the country. It consists of three full rows of keys, Ora„Prisitilt
a great organ, choir organ, and swell. The compass of 'the or-
gan is from double with a double G sharp, to F,59 keys.
The great organ has 12 stops, through, choir organ 9, and swell
8; two stops of pedal pipes, of two octaves. each, the largest 20
feet long, with couplers; altogether, 39 stops.. The number of
pipes is nearly 2000., The organ is:expected to lie opened this
day week, by the members.of the Choral Society. Mr. M`Neile;
of St. Jude's, will preach a sermon on the occasion.
IMPORTANT TO ANGLERS.—The jaw of a shark leas been
sent to the Secretary of the Underwriters, which is well worthy
of notice. The gentleman to whom this jaw was "part and
parcel" pf, was caught off the Cape of Good Hope, by Captain
Crosbie, of the Bridget, to this port. It measured in. length 15
feet, and .was in girth round his waist about the size of, a sugar
tierce, and weighed 12 cwt. The head appears to have been
but small in comparison to the size of the body. The teeth are
formidable in the extreme, displaying seven rows of grinders, of
such a pure whiteness, that any of our dentists would look upon
them with delight and admiration. From the time of entrap-
ping this monster to the time of his being hauled on deck was
three hours.
IMMENsE CHIMNEY.—A magnificent chimney was complet-
ed in Runcorn, at the soap and alkali works of Messrs. Hazle-
hurst and Sons, last Saturday. It is one of the most splendid
monuments that could possibly be 'conceived as a chimney:—
It is above 102 yards high, circular, and of most syminetrical
proportions, it is seen from the surrounding country, rearing
its tall majestic head above every other object. There is a twin
chimney iu the same town, though not quite so high or massive.
This immense pile contains more than halt' a million bricks,
and is comptited to be about 2,800 tons weight ; a slight idea
may be formed of it when it is stated that the coping stone at
the top is 10 tons'. It was began in May last, and constructed
under the supeintendance of the celebrated architect Mr. Li-
vingstone, of Newcastle, and reflects great credit upon his skill
and abilities.

THS TITEA TRS-RGYA T.. —The present week appears devoted
to the benefits of several of the company. Last night Miss
Faucit took her benefit with the play of "Virginius," and we
are glad to hear had a''good house. 'To-night Mr. Andrews,
the oldest member of the theatrical corps, makes his twenty-
seventh appeal to the Liverpool public with the play of the
" Provoked Husband." On 'Wednesday night Mr. and Mrs.
Bland take their bent tit with the Opera of " Henri Quatre."
,Mrs. Bland is well known as a songstress of no mean ability,
and as. a most pleasing actress. 'We dOubt not but her benefit
will be supported. On Friday evening Messrs. Lloyd, the
prompter„and„lloward take their_benefit with the play of
‘' The Achool of Reform," tit Whicht•Mr:'Hammona is engaged
'to play•the part'Of Tyke. The well-known ,abilities of this fa-
vourita:avtorwill doubtless draw a crowded house.

heard. We can assure our readers who may choose to witness
his feats that they will be highly entertaited.
"Tur GENTLEMEN OF THE PRESS."—ASSAULT.—On Sa-
turday last Mr. Foster, the reporter for the Liverpool Standard,
applied to Mr. Hall for a summons against it. S. Mackenzie,
LL. D., editor of the Liverpool Journal. Mr. Foster spoke as
follows I have an application, to make for a summons
against Dr. Mackenzie, of the Liverpool Journal, for an assault
which he has cononitted upon me. I was yesterday in the In-
solvent Debtors' Court, where also Dr. Mackenzie was. I be-
lieve he, as well as myself, was engaged in taking a rrport of the
case of Mr. Moon for the Manchester papers. Late in the af-
ternoon I applied for a rather lengthy document, which had
been read, and for which, it appears, Dr. Mackenzie had also
applied. As the Manchester mail goes at five o'clock, we had
no time to lose. After a time, the document was handed over
to me, and I was about to make use of it, when Dr. Mackenzie
watched it from my hand. I remonstrated with him on the im-
propriety of his conduct, and offered to let the document lie be-
tween us, so that both might make use of it. He replied, that
he did nut wish to have anything to do with such a fellow. Mr.
Powell, one of the opposing creditors, very politely offered to
read it over. to us, but Dr. Mackenzie repeated, that he would
have nothing to do with such a fellow. I then said he was be.
having, very much like a blackguard ;_ upon which he immedi-
ately struck me a violent blow on the ftf,ce with his open hand.
My first impulse was to knock him down., but I am now glad I
forbore.' Mr. Batcheldor stood within ajew yards of me at the
time, and distinctly iieard the blow, and Several respectable gen-
tlemen and members of the bar were present. A gentleman,
who gave me his name and address, offered to come forward as
a vitness. The court was crowded with individuals at the time."
The summons was granted, and the case is to be heard to-mor-
r6w, (this day,) at one o'clock.—Albion. ,

with a cork smeared over with pitch, was picke,l up on the bench
of Abergele Bay last week, by

of the Rev. fl. Raike's (the chancellor) to the Metropolitan
