STEALING WEARING APPAREL.—Yesterday Joseph
Churton was committed for trial at the sessions on a
charge of stealing two coats, and one or two other articles,
from the stable at tile. Wormald's, Tunnel Hotel, Edge-
hill. The prisoner had been allowed to remain about the
premises. having stated that he was in distress, and having
obtained the articles in question, he absconded. He was
taken into custody at Prescot.
PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT.—The committee appointed
for making suitable arrangements for the reception of
Prince Albert, on Lis honourng Liverpool with his
presence, are already engaged actively in their duties.
It is said that an intimation hes been received. that the
Prince will be the guest of the Earl of Derby, at Knowsley,
d•iring his stay in this neighbour hood. Should this not
be the case, apartments in the lown.hall might be filled
up in the hest stele for his Royal H ghness's accommo.
dation. We believe that nearly one thousand pounds will
be paid for the hire of plate on the occasion; and we are
happy to hear the committee are disposed to make every
arrangement on the most magnificent scale.
