PIIRENO-MAGNETISM.—A 0311 eof lectures on this sub-
ject will be commenced at the Royal Assembly Rooms this
evening. We believe that some very curious experiments
will be brought forward.

THE ROSE LIGHT.—The new arrangement of gas burners
may be seen in great perfection in Mr. Stafford's shop in
Chui,n-street. Inc light emitted is almost, if not quite, as
intense as the Bude.

SELLING BEER AND SPIRITS WI TROUT A LICENSE.—On
Friday, at the police-court, two pE.rsons were charged with
this offence. One was fined £5 and costs, and the case
against the other was dismissed, in .consequence of his being
new to the business and a stranger in the town.
A REFRACTORY PAUP ER.—A fen:ink pauper, of the West
Derby Union Workhouse, Low-hill, was brought up before
Mr. Rushton, on Friday, charged with behaving in a most
outrageous and unbecoming manner. She was sentenced to
pay a fine of 40s. and costs, or, in default, to be sent to
prison.
We are informed that the Warehouse-keepers' Association
have come to the resolution of allowing their landlords seven
and a half per cent per annum on the outlay in altering the
warehouses agreeably to the Fire Prevention Bill and insur-
ance companies' regulations. This we think very creditable
to them.
COMMITTALS.—On Sat' arday, at the Police-court, George
Fowler was committed for trial for stealing a quantity of
silk from a bonded warehouse in Robert-street, North.—On
the same day Esther Willis Iris, a servant girl, was also com-
mitted for stealing money fr om the coat-pocket of a gentle-
man who lodged at the house where she was servant.
PASSENGERS PER GREAT WESTERN.—Mr, J. N. Booth,
Mr. G. Converse, Captain Cu mulling, Major Denny, Mr. and
Mrs. Fox, Mr. J. Ferguson. 11 tr. Victor Fauch6, Mr. Macrae,
Mr. J. B. Murray, Miss Mun ay, Mr. Edward Massey, Mrs.
Ransome and three children, P dr. J. Roberts, Mr. and Mrs.
Tappan, Mr. Richard Trask, Mr. J. Thornley, Mr. J. Town-
ley, Mr. Pounder, and Mr. WE setidenk.
SUDDEN DEATH,--On Satun fay night last, an old woman,
named Multy Jones, who lived at No. 22, Fleet-street, went
out to take a walk, and on her return complained of being
very ill. Her son instantly ran for .Mr. Intyre, surgeon,
who was soon in attendance, but on his arrival she breathed
her last.

SAVAGE CASE OF ASSAULT.—On.Friday a man, named
Samuel Smethurst, was placed at th to bar, on a charge of
committing a savage assault on the pi !rson of Mr. UT
of the Feathers' Tavern, and stabbini ; him in the left arm
with a knife. Mr. Rushton ordered Smethurst to pay £5
and costs, or two months' imprisonment, and afterwards find
two sureties in £5O each, to give forty -eight hours' notice
thereof, or, in default, to be imprisoned stwo months more.

---
SPECIAL JURIES.—An erroneous itnpn ?.ssion prevails, that
persons sammoned on Special Juries nee d only to Write a
letter to the Under-sheriff, stating a legal e xcuse, such as age
or sickness, for their non-attendance, and they will not be
fined. We are informed, that such letters are of no avail,
but that the Court requires all such excuses to be verified by
an affidavit, or oath in open court. Several. Jurors, who had
sent letters, were fined £25 each at the late• assizes at Lan-
caster.
