LIVINGSTON AND WILLMER'S EXPRESS,
an American Newspaper, is regularly published in
New York, expressly for transmission by every Steam-
ship sailing for England, and its leading feature is to pre-
sent, at one glance, an Abstract of all Political and Com-
mercial News, interesting to European Readers, occurring
in the United States, Canada, Texas, or Mexico, in the
interval between the sailing of each Steamer, thus obviat-
ing, on arrival, the necessity of wading through files of
American Papers, not unfrequently eaten /lig over a pe-
riod of sixteen days.
Each Number of LIVINGSTON an WILLMER'S
EXPRESS will contain Full and Latest Reports of the
New York, New Orleans, Charleston, Mobile, Savannah,
Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston, Montreal. and Quebec
Markets, together with those from many other less im-
portant places—a comprehensive Shipping List, in which
will be given the arrival and sailing of all Vessels from
and to Great Britain and Europe, at all the American and
Canadian Ports, with a faithful Abstract of Political and
Domestic News, thus embracing, in one sheet, a News-
paper, a Shipping List, and a Prices Current.

LIVINGSTON and WILLMER'S EXPRESS affords
an excellent medium for Advertisements, as it is exten-
sively circulated in all the principal towns of Great
Britain, Ireland, and the Continent, and they can be
taken at little more than one-half the cost of advertise-
ments in English papers.
LIVINGSTON and WILLMER'S EXPRESS is de-
livered at Subscribers' Residences within Half-an-Hour
after the arrival of each Vessel in the River, and Three
Hours in advance of Letters or Papers through the Post
Office.

The Annual Subscription to LIVINGSTON and
WILLMER'S EXPRESS is 12s. 6d.; and Orders, Ad-
vertisements, and Subscriptions, are received by

CHARDS WILLMER.

" Middlewich, 2d September, 1843.
" found your letter on my return home last
night. I beg to say, that when I went on board the
Flambeau steamer, on Thursday, the 24th August, I was
not aware of the kind of contest which was being carried
on between the two Bangor and Beaumaris packets.
" On reaching Beaumaris, the passengers were re-
quested to sign a testimonial to two facts, viz., the civi-
lity of the captain to the passengers, and the swiftness of
the vessel ; for my part, I considered that paper as having
reference to those two points only.

a cloud.
When a man says that another thinks properly, it will
generally be found that the two think alike!

was a meaning in that three years' drought and famine in
the time of Elijah, in the reign of Ahab, in the land of
Judea, not known even to the church of God till the gene-
ral epistle of James, after the crucifixion of our Saviour.
An event like that of Bunyan's imprisonment for thirteen
years had a meaning that could not be seen by that gene-
ration, indeed is but beginning to be known now, after
the translation of the Pilgrim's Progress" into more than
twenty languages. An went in a still greater cycle of
dispensation, like the banishment of the puritans to Ame-
rica, had a meaning which we are now only beginning to
comprehend. And lastly, circumstances like those which
threw the key of the Mediterranean into the possession of
a Protestant power, did the same with Malta—the bridge
between the Oriental and the Occidental world—and,
finally, opened one of the antique gates of Christendom
to the same nation, can only be understood when those
future events have begun to march by in succession, for
which those previous steps of God's providence are so
evidently taken.—Claims of the Christian Aborigines of

so well known in the musical world as a violoncello player,
expired suddenly from a stroke of apoplexy on Tuesday,
in the 72d year of his age.

" Old Sergeant Reid," who was in the ranks at the
battle of Bunker's-hill, still survives, in his 108th year.
A short time ago he was struck with paralysis, which de-

The take of salmon in the river Lune has been prodigi-
ous of late, averaging at least I,ooolbs. daily. In the
rivers Ribble and Eden, also, the produce has been very
great.—Newcastle Journal.

It is rather a remarkable fact that the cow and stable
keepers of this Town find it cheaper to fother with hay
than straw, and in consequence the former is very gene-
rally used at the present time.—Newcastle Juurnal.

HAMMESLEY BANK.—It appears that a dividend of 2s.
lid. on the estate of Messrs Hammersley is now in course
of payment at the Office of the Accountant General in
Chancery. Nothing is known as to any further dividend
to be looked for under the estate.

POTATOES.—We have mentioned the great abundance
of the potato crop in the north this season. The further

MUNIFICENT GIFT.-It is in contemplation to form an
institution for the relief of decayed merchants and trades-
men in Leeds, and at a preliminary meeting held last
week, the Rev. Dr. Hook in the chair, the object of the
meeting was folly detailed by Mr. Sidney (of the firm of

workmanship, upon which is elaborately emblazoned the
Ethiopian lion ; an extraordinarily-shaped Abyssinian
saddle, with breastplate and head•.stall en suite, are of the
most gorgeous and magnificent description.

FATAL AFFRAY WITH REAPERS.—On Wednesday,
while the reapers employed by Mr. Childe, of Grange,
were at work, three of them, young men, had a slight
difference, and for some hours they continued " chaffing"
each other ; at last an unguarded expression was uttered
by one of them named Palmer, which excited the rage of
Stephens, and he unfortunately gave him a blow with his
fist, when Palmer struck him with his sickle on the back
part of the right thigh, completely severing the grand
artery, and the blood flowed with great profusion, and in
a few minutes he was a corpse. No sooner had Palmer
inflicted the fatal blow, than he dashed at the other reaper,
and cut him with his sickle in a brutal manner across the
abdomen and thighs ; and though he is still alive, but faint
hopes are entertained of his recovery.—Ten Towns Mes-
senger.

A PIPE

" Pretty tube of mighty power
Charmer of an idle hour;
Object of my hot desire;
Lip of wax and eye of fire;
And thy snowy taper waist,

With my bender stopper prest ;
And the sweetest bliss of blisses,
Breathing from thy balmy kisses;
Happy thrice and thrice again—
Happiest he of happy men 1 "

CHEAP HYDROMETER.--A simple way to detect the
presence of moisture on the surface of the earth, is to
wear boots with holes in the soles, or sit upon the ground
out of doors for two hours, and then calculate according
to the degree of rheumatism to which you will rise.—
Punch.

MR. SCADDER.—He was a gaunt man in a huge straw
hat, and a coat of green stuff. The weather being hot,
he had no cravat, and wore his shirt collar wide open ; so
that every time he spdke something was seen to twitch
and jerk up in his throat, like the little hammers
in a harpsichord when the notes are struck. Per.
haps it was the Truth feebly endeavouring to leap to
his lips If so, it never reached them. Two gray eyes
lurked deep within this agent's head, but one of them had
no sight in it, and stuck stock still. With that side of his
face he seemed to listen to what the other side was doing.
Thus each profile had a distinct expression ; and when the
moveable side was most in action, the rigid one was at
its coldest state of watchfulness. It was like turning the
man inside out, to pass to that view of his features in his
liveliest mood, and see tow calculating and intent they
xvere.—Boz.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

THE MERCURY ON THE MINISTRY

Our contemporary of Friday has had a fit of such un-

usual liveliness upon him this week, that we have been
able, not only to read his lucubrations,—a task of no
small magnitude—but to read them without yawning!
With one or two portions indeed of an article, in which
the measures of the past session of parliament are re-
viewed, we have been so amused that we cannot resist
givi❑g to our readers a specimen or two.

Speaking of the condition of Ireland, the Mercury
sagely, and with a gravity peculiar to him, remarks :
" The course which Mr. O'Connell is pursuing will
very soon force the alternative upon every man in the
kingdom, of choosing between a whig government and
civil war." Sad choice between two evils ! The choice
of a whig ministry, which the mass of the Irish people
would reject with contempt and aversion, as " base,
bloody, and brutal,—which the Demagogue himself would
either treat as his abject slaves, or spurn with his foot
from the path of his bad ambition ;—a whig ministry
which would foster rebellion, fatten and feed traitors, un-
loose the prison doors of murderers and felons of all
degrees of criminality, or—CIVIL WAR, most wise con-
temporary ? Not so—not so ! To hurry forward such a
catastrophe a whig ministry would be the best of all ap-
pliances ! With so imbecile a thing to contend against,
rebellion would soon indeed throw off its mask, and rush
to the field and to bloodshed. The alternatives, which
we have to choose between, are vigorous measures and
civil war; a whig ministry might retard the latter, but
would render its advent inevitable, and its success
decisive !

But with respect to the Irish arms bill, our contempo-
rary is still more rich and rare in his absurdity. " The
Irish arms bill," he remarks, " was a disgraceful proof
of the unpopularity of Sir Robert Peel's government in
Ireland." Of what were the various arms bills passed in
the days of whig supremacy proof? " A whig govern-
ment," he continues, " could have afforded (!) to relin-
quish that bill if opposed." We don't know, by the bye,
what a whig government could not afford to relinquish if
opposed, or what they would not relinquish to secure
place and pay. But the reason assigned for such relin-
quishment is most rich of all. Under a whig ministry
" the arms used would have been used for legitimate or
insignificant purposes"—(are assassination and midnight
robbery of arms insignificant 1);—" but the tory govern-
ment could not do so, because they feared that an armed
nation might start up against them, like the volunteers of
1782." Of course a whig government has no such diffi-
culty—no such fears. The rising of "an armed nation"
would not be necessary against a government prepared to
concede all that faction or treason could demand. An
armed nation, rising to coerce a whig government, would
be about as utter an absurdity as a levy en masse of all
the men, women, boys, cats, and dogs of the empire, to
kill a poor score of blue-bottles, entangled amongst the
sweets of a treacle pot !

• .
Poor Mercury with what zeal he endeavaurs to forget,
and to fancy that the world forgets, the history of whig
misrule in Ireland—its arms bills and coercion bills—and
the scorching contempt which has been levelled against
its wretched imbecility, and glaring and desperate
cor-
ruptness, by the very man, and the very people, whom he
now assumes to be anxious to accept of that miserable
effigy of a government—that pitiful and paltry scarecrow—
that empty and hollow mockery—A WHIG GOVERNMENT !

CORRESPONDENCE.

O'CONNELL AND THE QUEEN'S SPEECH

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

see the Queen's speech bas put Mr. O'Connell
in a rage, during which he has stumbled on a new griev-
ance-700,000 human beings lost by the grinding murders
of the landlords ! within the space of ten years! all owing
to the cursed Union ! Pray calculate, on this principle,
what would have been the population of Ireland at this
day, if the Union had not taken place, and what it would
be 43 years hence ; and then conjecture how happy that
population would be, the demand for labour being such,
that high wages would be paid (and in advance !) in order
to secure labourers ! Can we be surprised, if O'Connell
labours under this conviction, that his rage against the
Union should be excessive ? In the paroxysm thus ex-
cited, no wonder he should abuse Wellington and Peel
for granting the Catholic emancipation, or rather that he
should laugh at the image of their being " dragged in
chains after the chariot of Ireland's" (i.e., Mr. O'Con-
nell's) " victory" ; nor that he should forget how far the
people of England contributed to forge those chains by a
gradual diminution of religious prejudices, and by a grow-
ing confidence in the professions of Mr. O'Connell, Mr.
Sheil, and the Catholic priesthood, as to the results of
Catholic emancipation. In the passion which the murder
of these 700,000 innocents has excited, he forgets that
these circumstances may have contributed, in some slight
degree, to have placed those chains on the ministers of
the day, by which they were compelled to grant Catholic
emancipation. To this end the eloquence of Pitt, Fox,
Burke, Grey, Canning, and Brougham may have contri-
buted ; althopgh now, alas ! they are the objects of vitu-
peration to those who formerly applauded their labours to
the skies. C.

UNLAWFUL DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.—At the
Police-court, yesterday, a man named Robert Daulby was
charged with having attempted to destroy a quantity of
fringe, on the premises of Mr. Thomas Dutton, uphol-
sterer, from whose service he had been discharged. It
appeared that the fringe bad been lying on the premises
for a long time, and that the prisoner put it into a furnace,
by which it was partly scorched and burned. The priso-
ner said that the fringe did not belong to the complainant,
but had been ordered a long time ago, and not being ac-
cording to order, was thrown aside, and bad become mil-
dewed and useless. He had, therefore, put it in the fire,
so that no disturbance might afterwards be made about it.
Mr. Rushton said such destruction of property was not to
be justified, and fined him 40s. and costs, the alleged value
of the article. t:)„..,

REPEAL INTIMIDATION IN IttELAND. I

The public has never, perhaps, been furnished with a
stronger evidence of the awful state of popular feeling in
Ireland, and of the gross dishonesty of the means adopted
to further the cause and swell the funds of the repeal agi-
tation in that country than in the following brief narrative
which has just been furnished to us by a witness of the
whole proceedings.
The principal party in our history is a man named
James Cockayne, the owner of a travelling exhibition con-
taining a giant, a dwarf, and other similar objects of curi-
osity. As our great dramatists occasionally visit America,
when their native country is weary of them, or they of it,
Mr. Cockayne, with his caravan, recently determined to
visit the Emerald Isle ; and in the course of his travels
arrived at Carrickmacross. Before exhibiting at the fair
here, however, he was authoritatively questioned by the
assembled mohocra7y whether he was a repealer. His
reply was that he was not, and that he had no idea that a
simple showman, and a stranger, was required to meddle
with politics at all. He was assured, however, that he
must "join the repale," or not a visitor would he have in
his booth ; and so it was. For two or three days he
trumpeted and beat his drum, and shouted his ordinary
" walk up ! walk up I" in vain. Not a paddy would look
at his giant, or his dwarf, or his learned pig, or any thing
else, for love or money; and he was at length compelled
to enrol himself, his helpers, the giant, dwarf, pig and all,
as repealers, and to pay down six shillings to the repeal
fund for the cards, without which he would not be per-
mitted to exhibit in any fair in Ireland!
His next step was to Monaghan ; and there he was all
right, so far as repeal went. But an unfortunate piece of
showman's wit, uttered by one of his assistants, undid him
there ! He had with him a little house, which he exhi-
bited in front, containing an automatan figure, or some-
thing of the sort; and on being asked by some gaping
rustic the name of the little being, his assistant most in-
judiciously informed the querist that he was Father Ma-
thew. An ebulition was the immediate consequence.
" What ? d'ye mane to insult the great apostle of temper-
ance?" assailed him on one side. " Smash his booth—
break his windows" assailed him on the other. And with
much damage to his humble paraphernalia. and no small
danger to the lives and limbs of his whole company, he
was compelled to evacuate Monaghan ! He went on to
Cavan : but there his unhappy fame followed him. He had
committed the unpardonable sin of treating with levity
the saintly name of Father Mathew ; and from fair to fair
throughout Ireland, the wrath of the disciples of that
great man would follow him ! he was eventually compelled
to retrace his course, and to return to England, where he
arrived last week, somewhat poorer, of course, for his
speculation amongst a people so ferocious and besotted in
their passionate hatred of every thing and every body
English !

THE CUSTOM-HODSE.—The following notice has been
issued by order of the Commissioners of Stamps and
Taxes, and put up in the long-room :—" The Commis-
sioners of Stamps and Taxes, having received informa-
tion that it is a frequent practice with agents and others,
in the shipment of goods, to include in one bond the
goods of distinct persons, deem it right to give this notice,
that a penalty of £5O is imposed on so doing by the act of
6 Geo. IV., and that the commissioners are determined
to enforce the penalty in all cases of such an evasion."

THEFTS.—A porter of the name of Peter Hagan was,
on Wednesday last, charged, at the police-court, with
stealing a ham. It appeared he had been employed for
some days at the warehouse of Mr. Cummings, Charlotte-
place, Salthouse Dock, and that on Tuesday he was found
in the cellar w here he had no business. On being accosted
he said he had come for his cap, which was iota room
above. A ham, weighing 20 lbs., was at the sage time
found concealed in a hamper, also a quantity of butter.
Both the articles had been removed from the room above,
and no one but the prisoner was seen in the cellar. He
was committed for trial.—Same day, a woman, named
Mary Newmatch, was charged with robbing James Da-
vison, a seaman, of seventeen sovereigns. The parties
bad gone together in a coach, and on leaving it complain-
ant missed his money. Ten sovereigns of it were found
in the coach under the cushion, and four upon the pri-
soner : the rest had disappeared. She was committed for
trial.

NEW AND IMPROVED IRON ROOF.—There is DOW in
progress of completion, at the works of Messrs. Garstang,
Turner, and North, cotton manufacturers, a shed for the
stowage of cotton, the whole of the roof of which, with
the exception of the slates, is of cast and wrought iron,
of a construction combining great strength and security
with extraordinary elegance of design and lightness of ap-
pearance. The whole is from the foundry of Mr. John
Clayton, Soho Foundry, Preston, and the work is super-
intended by his foreman, Mr. John Beveridge, who has
politely explained to us the manner in which it is put to-
gether. The building is 160 feet long and 64 feet wide,
and, as there are no central pillars or other support, the
span of the principals is equal to the latter. These are
each in four castings, handsomely perforated and moulded,
forming a flattish eliptic arch below, and carrying out the
usual straight pitch of roof above, so that goods may be
stowed almost to the slates without interruption, from one
end of the building to the other. The castings are so
made as to lock into each other with nuts and screws, and
each set (forming one principal) weighs about 31 tons.
No stay-bolts, posts, tension-rods, or the like, are re-
quired, these being supplied by the divisions or arms of
the castings, which form a succession of arches, capable,
from the bulk of the metal being on edge, of sustaining a
great weight. The lower extremities of each principal,
which are nearly perpendicular, up to the spring of the
arch, are placed on brick pillars, about 12 feet high,
topped with stone, and running down each side the walls,
of which they form part. It was apprehc dd, that with
a great pressure above, these would be thrown somewhat
outward from their position, in the absence of abutments ;
but on an experiment being made upon one of them,
though it was but slightly stayed to keep it upright, it was
found that it bore, per se, four tons, without giving way
on either side in the smallest perceptible degree ; and when
the whole roof is secured together there can be no doubt
but one of them would bear half as much more. The same
principle of roofing might, we should think, be applied to
churches, or other public buildings, even with a span of
100 feet, without any central pillars or support from be.
low. The appearance of the castings from the interior is
also highly ornamental, and if painted or otherwise deco-
rated they would be still more so. The spars, ribs, and
laths are comparatively light, and are so secured on edge
as to bear the required weight of covering, whether of
iron, slate, or other material. We
roofs of various kinds, but none so compact and hand-
some as this; and those especially who are building fire-
proof warehouses, would do well to inspect it before they
decide upon what kind of roof they will adopt. It is
also, we think, worthy of the consideration of those en-
gaged in the construction of our new Assize Courts. We
have ourselves no acquaintance whatever with Mr. Clay-
ton, and no interest in the matter beyond a desire to bring
before the public an improvement that may be found ad-
vantageous in many of our larger buildings. The cost
(owing, probably, to the present low price of iron) is, we
learn, comparatively moderate.

LECTURES ON BALLAD POETRY.—On Tuesday even-
ing last, the Rev. A. Hume, B.A. of Trinity College,
Dublin, delivered the first of a series of five lectures on
English ballad poetry, before a pretty numerous and
highly respectable audience. He commenced by defining
the nature of the ancient ballad ; its relation to other
poetical compositions, and its metrical structure—gener-
ally of four-line verses of six and eight syllables alter-
nately, commonly called metre. It was usually of the
narative kind, the measure was common to all countries,
and the style simple and easily comprehended. These
popular productions were wont to be chaunted, and in
illustration of the music to which they were set, the airs
of " Chevy Chase," " the Children in the Wood," and
"the Friar of Orders Grey," were played on the organ,
and received with much applause. :History was written
in poetry before records of events were penned in prose,
but the poetry of the " Chronicles" differed from the
ballad, (which was still more ancient,) the former par-
taking more of the character of the epic poem. Ballad
poetry had had great influence on popular feeling in all
countries and all ages—in Greece, in Rome, and in more
modern times in our own country. This influence of the
bards—for whom high respect was entertained—extended
to all classes, for the sentiment expressed, and the music
that accompanied it, was addressed to the feelings of the
general community. He illustrated this by several recita-
tions, including " Lili Burlero," verses of Sir Philip
Sidney, the " Songs of the Trades," &c., and he quoted
Dibdin's testimony in behalf of national songs, and the
stimulus they gave to physical exertion, and to deeds of
heroism. The ballad had also been useful in preserving
in a popular form the manners, customs, and events of
past ages ; it was easily acquired and held in memory, as
was instanced in the case of a man of 101 years old, who
could repeat a whole ballad of 68 stanzas without omitting
a word. He concluded by dwelling on the universality of
the ballad, and its early use, even in the days of Homer.
It was alluded to even in scripture, particularly in Num-
bers.—On Friday the lecturer delivered his second dis-
course, embracing "ballads purely English,"—their na-
ture and history. He quoted Percy's " Reliques of An-
cient English Poetry"—submitted an analysis of portions
of " Chevy Chess ;" noticed " Ritson's Ancient Songs ;"
the Homeric ballads—compared with Robin Hood ; the
alterations in the character of the more modern ballads,
and in those of the present time, and several of the recent
compilation of that species of lyric composition—lllustra-
ting his subject by frequent recitations. The reverend
gentleman is an energetic and pleasing speaker, has evi-
dently well matured himself in his Subject, and was re-
ceived with much applause. The remaining three lectures
will bring the subject down to the present day, showing
the influence of ballad poetry in this and other countries,
illustrated by specimens from the works of our most ap-
proved and gifted modern poets. [We may hereobserve
that the reverberation of the lecturer's voice in the lecture
theatre is at times so great that parties in the reserved
gallery, in particular, can with difficulty hear all that is
uttered, when the seats are not all, or nearly all, occupied.
The directors would do well to institute some experiment
for the removal of this great defect, by the application of

GALLANT CONDUCT IN THE SAVING OF LlFE.—Se-
veral instances of the fearless conduct of an individual in
humble life in saving parties from being drowned have
come to our knowledge, and are, we think, worthy of no-
tice, more especially as the man himself is of too modest
a character to proclaim his own merits to the community.
His name is Joseph Gurnell, and he is, and has for some
years, been yard-keeper at the coal-wharf, (Coburg Dock)
of Messrs. Clarke and Frankland, by whom he is much
esteemed as a faithful servant. On the 25th December,
1838, at seven o'clock at night, a man named Davies, then
and still a moulder at Messrs. Fawcett and Preston's iron
works, fell from the Coburg Pier-Lead on to the bank ,
below—a height of about 25 feet. Gurnell and his wife,
who live underneath the coal office, a short distance from
the spot, heard his cries, and taking a rope which he kept
ready for such occasions, he found the sufferer, and with
the assistance of another man whom he called in, suc-
ceeded in passing a noose over his head, and hoisting him
safely up. The man had been mjsled by the darkness of
the night, and the lights on the Cheshire shore. The tide
was down at the time, but was fast rising, so that but for
this timely aid he would soon have been swept away, as
he was much hurt by the fall.—On the 27th of July, 1841,
Gurnell, in a most praiseworthy manner, plunged into the
Union Dock, to save the life of John Mackrell, a painter,
who fell into the water from the Neptune, and would in
all probability have perished but for the timely exertions
of that individual.—About two years ago, while the qua-
rantine hulk Newcastle (which had drifted from her moor-
ings) was lying in the Coburg Dock, Mrs. Smith, the wife
of the captain, on going on board, accidentally trod upon
her gown, and fell overboard, Gurnell, who happened to
be at hand, immediately went in to rescue her, with a rope
round him, and getting hold of her before she sank, got
her on shore, and had her conveyed (she being insensible)
to the receiving house, where he and others, by rubbing '
and other means, endeavoured to restore her, but she
being a very lusty person, and therefore more liable to
suffocation, entirely without effect. On this occasion
Gurnell lost his hat in the dock.—On another occasion, a
fine youth, 18 or 19 years of age, an apprentice on board
the ship Pollock, belonging to Messrs. Pollock and Gil-
mour, and lying in the Coburg Dock, fell overboard in the
dead of the night, and endeavoured to save himself by
swimming across the dock. Gurnell ran up, found him
in an exhausted state, and, at much personal risk, res-
cued him from an untimely death. The sufferer was so
far gone that he conveyed him to his own house for more
immediate attendance, placed him before the fire, and
used every means to restore him, but he was unable to
speak for some hours, and could not be safely removed
until the afternoon of the next day, when he was taken
away in a car by his captain. He afterwards recovered.—
On the 4th of last month a boat containing 12 men was
run down by a river steamer off the Coburg Dock, and the
whole party were immersed in the water. They endea-
voured to save themselves by swimming, and two boats
went to their assistance, and brought 10 of them on shore.
Another of them, named Griffiths, was rescued by Gur-
nell, who (as we stated at the time) " resolutely jumped
off the pier-head and seized him as he was sinking."—

The only rewards Gurnell ever received for so mud; ser-
vice in the cause of humanity were £2 (on the representa-
tion of a few friends) from the Shipwreck and Humane
Society for saving Mackrell, and 2s. 6d. from another
quarter for rescuing Davies. Surely he is worthy of some-
thing much more substantial than this, independently of
the respect due to him for his disinterested exertions ;
and we heartily recommend him to the societies within
whose province the consideration of such matters falls,
as well as to others who may be disposed to contribute

EXTRAORDINARY AND AFFECTING CASE OF
THE SEDUCTION AND ROBBERY OF A
RESPECTABLE YOUNG FEMALE.

On Monday evening last, while a commercial gentle-
man, Air. S., was conversing with a person who was ac•
companied by a lady, of prepossessing appearance, in the
travellers' room of the Menai-bridge Inn (Mrs. Dixon's),
near St. George's Church, in this town,—he thought he

perceived something in the manner of the gentleman not

quite accordant with his notions of the character he
assumed. On further observation, Mr. S. conceived,
from the conduct of the man, that he and the lady were
not married. This suspicion was communicated to a
person belonging to the house ; but no further notice was
taken of the matter that evening, as there appeared to be
a possibility of mistake, and the strangers slept in the
house.

On the following morning the lady and the gentleman
(who had called himself her husband) appeared at the
breakfast table, and many endearing expressions were
passed upon the former by her companion ; but it became
evident to those by whom they were surrounded, that, in
the first place, he was not a " gentleman ;" and, in the
second, that he was not the husband of the lady. In the
course of the day, this couple were visited by two men
whose external appearance and manners induced the in-
mates of the house to infer that there was " something
rotten in the state of Denmark."
The wine passed freely round, and whether from the
novelty of the liquor or the goodness of Mrs. Dixon's
port, we know not, but from some cause the three men of
the party commenced quarrelling, and exhibited their true
colours--as arrant blackguards. At this crisis, Mr. Lyon,
who is stopping at Mrs. Dixon's, interposed ; called in
the police to restore quiet; and taxed the lady with having
left her home unknown to her friends. This she then
denied, and stated that she and the " gentleman" -
married. This did not satisfy Mr. Lyon, and he com-
municated his suspicions to Mr. Brown and Mr. Gittins,
who were in the house, and who had also entertained
1 opinions of the matter almost equally strong. The parties
' were not, however, taken into custody, as no particular
charge could be substantiated against them.
On the following morning, Mr. Lyon kindly re-ques-
tioned the lady, and she exhibited symptoms of sorrow,
and gave indications of a desire to open her mind. Mr.
Brown (before-mentioned), who had also observed her
sufferings, drew from her some expressions which con-
firmed his previous suspicions. Her so-called husband
made his appearance after a short absence. Ile requested
her to accompany him into the town, and she assented.
On her appearing at the bar of Mrs. Dixon's house, her
companion asked her to deposit her money in his pocket,
observing, that she might otherwise lose it, or be robbed
of it. She complied, and the fellow, addressing himself
to Mrs. Dixon, said, in a laughing manner, " Now, Mrs.
Dixon, she has put her money into my pooket, and I have
not taken it." This observation did not particularly at-
tract Mrs. Dixon's notice at the time, as she, no doubt,
thought it was some badinage between them.
They left the house together, and the pretended hus-
band took the lady into Dale-street ; when they had
walked some distance he paused and requosted her to stop
there, and that so soon as he had made some purchases in
a druggist's shop, be would return to her. He did not
return ; and the poor girl was left without a shilling and
without a friend in the streets of this town. After walk-
ing about in a frenzied state of mind for two or three
hours, she returned to Mrs. Dixon's, and told to her, her
tale of misery, being then convinced that she had been
grossly and unmanfully deceived. Mrs. Dixon, Mr.
Lyon, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Gittins happened to be all
present, and, indeed, all in the house, seeing her extreme
distress of mind, deeply sympathised with her, and of-
fered her every consolation. Mrs. D., indeed, acted the
part of a mother, and deeply lamenting her misfortune,
offered her an asylum in her house. At her request Mr.
Lyon undertook to accompany her back to that home she
had so rashly left. This offer the lady refused, declaring,
in the most impassioned manner, that rather than return
home she would commit some act which would terminate
her existence.
A consultation was then held between the gentlemen
named, and it was agreed that Mr. Gittins should ad-
dress a letter (unknown to the lady) to her father, and
request his attendance at the house. In the meantime
the young woman, who was quite disconsolate, expressed
her extreme gratitude to her benefactors, and tendered
with almost childish simplicity to serve Mrs. Dixon in the
most menial capacity, or to work as an operative at Mr.
S.'s, who is a manufacturer at Manchester, expressing at
the same time great contrition for her abandonment of
her home, and a fearful apprehension of meeting her
parents.
The father of the unfortunate young woman arrived on
Friday at Mrs. Dixon's, while she was conversing in the
ccmmercial room with the gentleman who had shown her
so much sympathy. The meeting of the father (a fine
old man) and his unhappy child is represented on all
hands as one of the most affecting that ever was witnessed.
The aged man unable to restrain his paternal feelings
rushed up to her sobbing and took her in his arms—and
she hung on his neck and poured forth the story at once
of her wrongs and her folly—acknowledging her offence
without a plea of justification. The warm manifestation
of forgiveness in the father was not delayed, and the fer-
vent prayer that she might be restored, and the blessings
he called down upon those who had protected her as
speedily followed. There was not indeed a dry eye
amongst the whole assemblage.
Something further may now be stated of the young
woman, who is of considerable personal attractions, and
not yet 21 years of age. She is the daughter of a respect-
able tradesman in a small town not twenty miles from
Chester; and it appears from her own statement and that
of her father, that she became acquainted with the villain
who seduced her from her home, at Tarporley Wakes.
The fellow introduced himself to the family as a master
of a company of licensed dealers in woollen cloth, and a
person of property. In a few days he made proposals of
marriage, which were mentioned to her parents, but dis-
couraged. Determined, however, to carry his point, he
prevailed upon her to leave her home, and meet him in
Chester, where, he said, he would marry her. She went
to that city, and was there met by the intended husband,
who introduced her to the two other individuals who
afterwards (as stated) went to Mrs. Dixon's. One of
them represented himself to be a Roman Catholic priest,
and (the whole of the three ruffians being together, and
favouring the delusion) arrayed himself in a black gown,
and went through what he called the marriage ceremony,
the pretended bridegroom stating that he was a Catholic,
and that that was the Catholic ceremonial. This, it appears,
took place in a private house. Immediately afterwards,
the " married" pair left Chester for Liverpool, and ar-
rived, as before stated, on Monday (yesterday week).
After the young woman began to discover the villany
that had been practised upon her, she slept with Mrs.
Dixon (whose conduct was most praiseworthy through..
out), and declared that she would not again meet him.
Immediately after she left her home, her parents came to
Liverpool in search of her, but could not find her ; and it
appears, that, before she left home, she had received £l2
from a friend, which was drawn from her in the artful
manner described, at Mrs. Dixon's bar—leaving her des-
titute.

It is rumoured that the seducer is 0. married man, with
five children, residing in Manchester ; and the whole ap-
pears to have been a plot, laid by the three scoundrels, to
seduce the girl from her home, and possess themselves of
her money, which they probably thought would be greater
in amount. We have heard that her father is a man of
considerable property ; that she herself has also a mode-
rate amount in her own right ; and that the money of
which she was dispossessed was her own.
We could furnish some information respecting the per-
sonal appearance and dress of the three men, but are in-
duced to suppress it, lest it might defeat the ends of public
justice.
Much praise is due to Mrs. Dixon and to the gentlemen
named who were in her house,

EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.—On Wednesday morning,
a man, named Patrick Dotty, a milkman, 86 years old,
went down to George's Pier-head with his two milk cans,
and had just obtained his supply (for retail) from a steam-
boat, when, probably from imperfect vision, in place of
going on his way, to the astonishment and alarm of the
bystanders, he deliberately walked over the sea-wall into
the river! Luckily, there was only about two to three
feet of water at the wall at the time, and though he mnst
have fallen about twenty feet to its surface, he was but
slightly bruised. Had the tide been at low ebb, be would,
in all probability, have been killed ; and had it been flood,
he would as likely have been drowned.

ODDFELLOWS' ANNIVERSARY AND PRESENTATION.
—On Wednesday evening last, the Loyal Adelphi Lodge
of Independent Oddfellows, No. 2212, celebrated their
anniversary by dining together at the lodge-house, Mrs.
Hill's, Nook Tavern, Brownlow-hill. The dinner was
served up in the most sumptuous manner, with every
delicacy of the season. After the cloth was removed,
several loyal and patriotic toasts were given from the
chair, which was ably filled by N.G. Hay, supported on
his right by P.G. Richd. Holmes, on his left by P.G. T.
Higgins; the vice-chair was occupied by V.G. T. Black-
burn. In the course of the evening the lodge took occa-
sion, through the medium of their chairman, to present to
P.G. Richd. Holmes, of the Adelphi Lodge, and host of
the Prince of Wales Inn, Fleet-street, a most splendid
gold watch-guard, attached with a neat ancient gold shield,
with the following inscription :—" Presented to P.G. Rd.
Holmes, by the officers and brethren of tl:e Loyal Adelphi
Lodge, 2212, as a token of their estimation for services
rendered as Secretary, V.G., and N.G.—Aug. 30, 1843."

ROBBERY OF CARGO FROM A VESSEL.-011 Thurs-
day last, Isaac Herriman, second mate of the packet-ship
Hottinguer, was brought before Mr. Rushton at the Police-
court, on a charge of stealing a quantity of cotton, part
of the cargo of that vessel. A seaman belonging to the
vessel, which is lying in the Waterloo Dock, said that
one day last week, while he and others were scraping be-
tween decks, he saw the prisoner amongst the cargo
taking out cotton from the bales, which he put into two
casks in the lower hold. The prisoner filled both casks,
and let them remain till the cargo was all out, when he
got three men on board, who put the cotton into two
bags, which they took away from between decks. One
bag was as much as a man could carry. Another seaman
corroborated this testimony, adding that he saw the pri-
soner talking with the three men, and pointing to the
bags, whic carrie off. A third seaman said he
saw one of the menTh

to the vessel and had the prisoner taken into custody.
The prisoner declined saying anything, and was committed
