myself he was out• of his mind. •A surgeon, however, having
examined him pronounced him to be as sane as any of his

committed the prisoner as a rogue and vagabond. •
~,DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF A 11ACKNEI-COACHIIIIIAW.—One
of those rttffians, of which there are a great number in Liver-
pool, who drive hackney-coaches, and make a practice of not
only imposing upon strangers, but insulting them, was brought
before the magistrates charged with abusing a commercial gen-
tleman staying at the Wellington Inn, in Dale-street.
It appeared from the statement of the complainant that on
the previous evening he hired the defendant's one-horse car, to
convey him from the Liver Theatre to the inn, tor which he de-
manded three shillings, Conlidering it to be an overcharge he
wefused to pay, it, when the prisoner struck him, and used abusive
language. '1 he waiter of the inn was also assaulted when ex
postulating with the prisoner, and the laudlord, me.
gave him unto the custody of a watchman.
The assault being proved, the magistrates held the prisoner
to bail, in default of which he was committed.
The owner of the car then complained -to the magistrates of
the conduct of the watchman in leaving the car in the streets
after the prisoner was taken to Bridewell.
The magistrates said they had nothing to do with that. It
was the duty of car-owners to employ drivers of good character,
who would not, by their bad conduct, sacrifice the propetty of
their employers.
UNLICENSED GAME. DEA LERS.—A woman named Margaret
Shone, who occupies the stalls Nos. 89 and 90. in St. -John's
Market, appeared to an information laid against her by Abra-
ham M'Clute, a market-looker, charging her with having ex-
posed for sale.a quantity of game on Saturday last, without hav
ing her christian and sernatne written on the sign, together with
the words " Licensed to deal in game," contrary to the act of
lit and 2d William IV., which especially provides such a regu- •
lation, under a penalty of £lO. She was also further charged
with having sold game from the 12th of August to the 21th of
November without being duly certificated, being for every such
offence liable to a penalty of £2O. .The magistrates after hearing
the case, mitigated the penalty to 20s. for each offence. The
information was laid at the instance of the government sur-
veyor ;. his object in doing so was to warn others of the breach
of the law which they were constantly committing. The pe-
nalties are directed by the act to be applied to the funds of the
parish, which was done in the present case.
Aat OLD OFFENDEIL—A notorious thief, known in the Kirk-
dale and borough calendar as Acton Fox, who was one of
the survivors at the wreck of the two boats some time ago,
when so many disorderly characters were drowned on their
return from a prize tight at Brombro', and who probably was
resetved for a more elevated fate than drowning, was placed at
the bar charged witk stealing twenty-two hair brooms, the pro-
perty of some person who considered his character good enough
to employ him as a hawker. The complainant said that he had
sent him out to hawk the brooms a few days ago, and had not
seen the money nor the brooms since. lie had been on the
look out for him on the day.previons, and at length caught him
in a public-house dead drunk, when on asking for the brooms
he was compelled to brush from the prisoner's vioLiice ; be,
however, :succeeded in obtaining the aid of a constable, and the
prisoner was taken to Bridewell. The constable said that the
prisonerhad been tried for felonies; but he insisted that was
only once, in consequence of having been acquitted twice. On
a further hearing of the ease it appeared that the prisoner's
offence did' not amount to felony, and he was cousequetittly dis-
charged. Seventeen shillings and sixpence, which was found
upon him, was handed over to the broom-dealer,
Itasca I.ITV OF MARINE STORE-KEEPEES.—Four young lads,
whose heads scarcely reached tits top of the dock screen, named
Poutepay, Buckley, Thompson. and Kennington, were charged
with stealing a quantity 9f lead, the property of a person mooed
Wade. From the statement of the constable who apprehended
them it appeared that the prisoners had stripped the windows of
one of Mr. Wade's houses of about Mae pounds of lead, which
they had sold to a marine store-keeper. Mr. Wade, however,
didnut appear against them.
Mr. Alderinau Wright asked if the marine store-keeper was
present; the constable said lie was, and, on his stepping forward,
the Mayor and the 'Magistrates told. hint that the facility given
to young thieves for the disposal of stolen property by. marine
store-keepers, such as himself, was the means of encouraging
them in their career of crime. lie m fight consider his conduct
as a great degradation, and fortunate for himself that he was
not prosecuted.
The boys were then discharged, th.eir parents, who were pre-
sent, promising to inflict upon them a little wholesome chas-
tisement.
Daniel Griffiths, a man of bad character, was committed for
stealing a cheese, the property of a provision -dealer named
Parry, residing in Titheharn-street. Ihe prisoner was detected
by a man named Bretlterton running away with the cheese, and
apprehended.

. asha took occasion to express personally to the Mayor the
great pleasure he had,enjoyed by the kindness of his worship,
of which he spoke in the warmest terms of gratitude. He con-
fessed that such marked attention he never expected to receive,
either from the first magistrate of this large town, or from the
i gentlemen his visit had introduced him to.
Au address from the merchants of the town having been
agreed to fud numerou%ly signed, a number of gentlemen were.
now in wailing "To present it. His excellency received the
deputation with evident pleasure. The address, of which the
following is a copy, was then read:
" To Namie Pasha, Ambassador and Minister Plenipotentiary of
• the Sublime Porte at the Court of Great Britain.
" We, the undersigned merchants and shipowners of Liver-
pool, beg to offer to your excellency the homage of our respect
on the occasion of your visit to this seaport. The purpose of
this direct iutercourse with us being the advancement of the
mercantile relations of Turkey with England, it is with equal
sincerity and pleasure we give your excellency a public testi-
mony of our cordial co-operation for its.accomplishment.
" We'view your coming among us, on the simple recommen-
dation of your personal rank and intelligence, as a most grati-
fying evidence of the philanthropy. .of your motives..
" We are anxious, ou this account, to evince our sense of
the just esteem your excellency has formed of the utility of your
journey into this part of England, and we thank you for this
mark of your reliance on our friendly feeling towards the
Ottoman empire.
" We congratulate ourselves in having contributed towards
the success of the Euphrates expedition, an undertaking having
for its immediate object to open an important channel for
commerce in the dominions of your august master, and we rely
with confidence on his sovereign protection of our' countrymen
during their hazardous enterprise.
" With. the renewed expression of our personal consideration
and esteem, we have the honour to be your excellency's most
obedient servants."
His excellency replied to the address in the following terms:
".Gentlemen,—Many of your countrymen have travelled in
Turkey with prejudices against the institutions and the customs
of the country of which; I have the honour of being the repre-
sentative at the court of Great Britain, and they have thus
recorded their observations in a manner very unfavourable to
our true condition. But, happily, from what I have seen
in my present journey, their misrepresentations have not pro-
duced any alteration iu the friendship and sympathy that exist
between the British and Ottoman empires. I am happy to
testify for myself that British sentiments respond altogether
to the feelings and expectations of my countrymen, and I con-
gratulate myself in having been the organ to receive this
friendly declaration, in support of my country, on the part of
the merchants of Liverpool. In respect of the navigation of
the Euphrates, it is our interest to protect and promote it, seeing
that the benefit will not be for England alone, but for Turkey
likewise. The success of that expedition will make Turkey the
depOt of the riches of India and of the commerce of Great
Britain. Fur the respect you have shown me I sincerely thank
you."
The Ambassador and his suite left the Adelphi Hotel on
Wednesday morning, and returned to Manchester by the ten
o'clock railway train of carriages. lie will remain there some
days, for the purpose of visiting the spinning and other works
of that town. lie will then proceed from thence to Birmingham,
and, after viewing its principal objects of curiosity, will return
to London. AU persons who have seen and conversed with him
here agree in opinion that be is a man endowed with great in-
tellectual powers, quick perceptions, and enlightened views as a
statesman.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF DIAMONDS, &c.—A robbery was
discovered on Monday morning to a very eauliderable amount.
In the bonded warehouses of- Messrs. Hall and Co., near"the
Custom-house, were deposited diamonds and other precious
stones and jewellery of considerable.imlue, and everything was
left apparently safe on Saturday last; but on the premises
being opened ou Monday for business, it was discovered that the
depository of the gems and other property of value bad been
broken open; and precious stones taken away worth between
f.SO(X) an 4 £6OOO. It is stated that a portion of the diamonds
were the property of Don Pedro. It is believed that the thieves
must have been locked up in the warehouses at the legal quay
above stated on Saturday night, and that they remained all
Sunday in them, and made their escape with great difficulty on
Sunday night. They appear to have enjoyed themselves while
in the warehouses. The most active measures have been adopted
fur the purpose of apprehending the delinquents.

AN AMERICAN WONDL.R.—Professor Silliman's " American
Scientific Journal" contains an account (since copied into the
London Mirror) of a couple of cat-fish caught in a shrimp-net
off the coast of Carolina in August, 1833, and joined together
exactly in the same manner as. the Siamese boys. One was 31
and tile other 21 inches long, and the latter emaciated. Each
fish was perfect, and, though there was a hollow in the integu,
ment by which they were united, the viscera were entirely dis-
tinct. They appeared to be able to swim side by side in the
natural way.

FATAL AND DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.—Two young per-
sons met with their death here last week under very, unusual
and painful. circumstances:—Our trading vessels, it is well
known, are much infested with rats, and other vermin, in con-
sequence of which fumigation with brimstone and charcoal is
often had-recourse to by the masters. Wednesday last the
smack Hero, which plies betwixt Inverness and London, and is
now lying at our port, was put through this process in the course
of the afternoon. The whole was closed up, and the vessel left
by the crew tilrthe following day. :The same evening, however,
one of the sailors, John Fraser, aged 20, being, as is supposed,
intoxicated, returned to the vessel in company with a female,
Jane Stewart, aged 16,-residing on the Merkinch, and entering
the forecastle closed the hatch. The consequences may easily
be predicted. Both were found dead in the morning, having
been suffocated by the fumigation in the vessel. The remains
of these ill-fated • persons were interred on Saturday.---lriver-
nes: Courier.

CURISTIAN CHARITY OF THE PRIESTS—PATRIOTIC
RALITY OF " THE PEori.n."—The force of " public opinion"
was exemplified with a Nengeance.on Sunday last, in the neigh-
bourhood of Clonenah.—An old woman, a widow Daly, wflo
resided at Clodcouse, midway between Monutrath and Mary-
borough, died last week ; her son, Michael Daly, having voted
for Sir CL H. Conte and the Hon. Thos. Vesey, was an act
which could not be tolerated; and on Sunday morning last
" the people" were told after mass to let " the l3ruuswickers"
bury Daly's mother. The consequence of this charitable ad-
vice was, that the remains of the old woman were with difficulty
conveyed to Marvborough for interment; and on the return of
the•very few individuals who attended they were violently as-
sailed by a mob, within a few miles cf the town, and pelted with
stutieg.—Cork Constitution.
