kins appeared for the prisoner. It appeared from the evi •
dente of a female, named Mary Rogerson, that on the
night of the sth August she and the deceased left Walton
for Liverpool about nine o'clock. They were on their
way home about eleven o'clock, and as they passed along
Mere-lane they met a hackney coach, when the deceased
called out to the coachman, and some angry words passed.
The coachman then got down from the coach and beat the

deceased, who at length called out that be had been struck
by something harder than his fists. She then went to the
man, got hold of him by the ear, and requested he would
desist, on which he left the deceased, got on his coach,
and drove off. The witness said she believed the prisoner
to be the man who had beaten the deceased, but on being
asked to point out the prisoner, was a 19ng time before
she fixed on the right party. After the coach drove off,
the witness went for assistance, and the deceased was
found lying in the lane quite dead.—Mr. N. S. Glaze-
brook, b •Sur.eon, deposed to making a post mot-tent exa-

IMPORTANT NOTICE.
STIVENS'S
ORIGINAL GREEN GINGER WINE,

THE great demand for this Wholesome Wine (to
strongly recommended by theiPaculty) wherever in-
troduced, very soon induces Venders of the Common
Ginger Wine to push oft their own article under the same
name, imitating as near as-- possible (without actual
forgery) the labels on the Bottles containing the Genuine
Wine, from the immense profit it affords the Retailer
beyond what can be given by STIVENS'S, through the
expensive ingredients/used in the manufacture of their
GREEN GINGER-'WINE. Purchasers are, therefore,
cautioned to obserie the envelope over the Cork, signed
" JOHN STEVENS and Co., Bristol."

throughout the Kingdom, is always secured in the way

HUDDERSFIELD, HALIFAX, AND BRADFORD
RAILWAY, AND "THE BEARS."

An awful entanglement, attended with ruin to many
speculators, has taken place amongst the jobbers and bro-
kers of Leeds in particular, with respect to the shares in
the above undertaking. As it appears rather difficult at
present to decide who are the sinning parties, and who the
sinned against, and still more difficult to ascertain upon
whom the loss resulting will fall, we shall briefly detail the
particulars of the case, with a view to offer a few remarks
upon the injurious and dangerous system which they dis-
close.
The original prospectus of the Huddersfield, Halifax,
and Bradford line proposed the issue of 15,000 shares as
the capital required ; and for these the public were invited
to send in the usual applications. Previous to the allot-
ment, however, the provisional committee found that they
could materially advance the prospects of the undertaking
by forming an alliance with three other companies,—the
Leeds and Manchester, West-Riding Junction, and the
West-Yorkshire; and an arrangement was accordingly
made by which these companies took half the proposed
number of shares, for valuable considerations of course,
thus leaving only 7,500 shares to be allotted to the public.
Thus far all was perfectly legitimate. The directors did
what they had a perfect right to do, and no one had a
legitimate or even a moral cause of complaint. Pending
their negociations, however, with these companies certain
speculators chose to "bear," in Stock-Exchange phrase,
the forthcoming shares in the undertaking. 'Nearly
80,000 shares (ihe entire original number being only
15,000 ! !) are said to have : een sold by anticipation in
Leeds alone at about 30s. per share premium, and eager
buyers were found for them as fast as they were offered.
The shares rose, nobody knew why, but every body sus-
pecting his neighbour to be mad. At length, when they
had risen to £l5 per share, the astounding fact of the
arrangements made transpired ; and the sellers by anti-
cipation were panic struck with the ruin impending before

THE NAMES OF STREETS

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

I beg respectfully, through the medium of your journal
to call the attention of the authorities of Liverpool to the
very imperfect directions which so generally prevail
throughout the town to the different streets.

In many instances where the names of the streets have
been painted at the corners, they are quite illegible ; in
others no trace is to be found that they were ever put up.
The most readily discerned labels are a sort of white
porcelain, on black ground, such as " Castle-street," in
the neighbourhood of your office. and a few similar ones,
here and there. _ _

What is desirable to be accomplished would be, where
a street crosses, to have labels at the corners, on one side
of each street, abreast, but preferably on both sides.
A STRANGER IN LIVERPOOL.

At the Devizes assizes, on Thursday, George Wolfred
was indicted for the murder of ;Elizabeth Wolfred, his
wife, by drowning. The prisoner was the owner of a
learned pig, by which he supported his family. He was
acquitted, as it could not be proved but that the deceased
had committed self-destruction, though there were several
circumstances against the prisoner. WherUko foreman
of the jury said " Not guilty," the prisonerßropped as if
shot.

against the assaults of the infidel and utilita-
rian feeling of the present age, into a vitality which
which will scatter his own power to the winds ' • but
he cannot stifle the conviction of an awakened and
a convinced people: He may awe the timid ;he
may bribe the selfish and the sordid ; he may
attempt to throw oil on the troubled waters ; but, in
the attempt to turn the Protestantism of the empire
from it-4 determined purpose, or even to blind it for
a while to the conviction of the peril with which it
is menaced, he will fail—signally fail—and irre-
trievably seal his own ruin, and that of all who
worship with him at the shrine of political expe-
diency.

Already the feeling, who=e growth will be suffi-
cient to work this overthrow of his present baneful
influence over the destinies of Great Britain, has
been evoked. The display of Orange unanimity
and determination at the recent meeting at Ennis-
killen was not a mere brutum fulmen—an idle pa-
geant. Fools and sycophants—knaves and traitors
—may sneer at the numbers, and the feeling which
animated the proceedings of that host. Wise men
will reflect. They will see in the spectacle of 20,000
men, assembled to declare in the face of the empire
theia determination to protect their own lives and
homes, when a British Government has deserted its
trust and its duty, a sign of the times not to he re-
garded as a mere ebullition of the hour ; and, if it
be urged that the parties present at that meeting
were not the exalted and the ennobled of the land,
to a wise observer of the course of human affairs
that circumstance will but seem to give ominous
weight to the circumstances and the necessities
which called so many humble but resolute men
together. A great leader may easily congregate
together his thousands for the most trifling object
of display or of ambition. It is only a great object
which assembles the flock without the summoning
of the shepherds.
Perhaps, however, the meeting of the Protestants
of Down, Antrim, and Armagh, to be held to-mor-
row at Lisburn, with the Marquis of Downshire in
the chair, may have a complexion of a more elevated

character

THE VANGUARD CASE.-CORK ASSIZES

An important case arising out of the salvage of the
Vanguard steameOpartially wrecked offithe coast of Cork.
in which a Captain White was plaintiff, and the Dublin
and Glasgow Steam Company were defendants, was
tried on Thursday and Friday last, in the County Record
Court, Cork—damages were laid at £5,000. The im-
portant services rendered by Captain White were proved
and indeed acknowledged. There were circumstances,
however, it appeared, and amongst these an offer to ac-
cept of such remuneration as the Directors thought
proper, which took from the case the character of a sal-
vage case ; and £3OO having been shewn to have been
offered by the Directors to Captain White—A Verdict
was found for the defendants. Mr. Brewster, Q.C. was
brought, down specially for the latter, with a fee of £lOO
guineas.
