Iheartily grateful to the Almighty that a man possessed of
such Christian principles is to be found in the British
consulate of Tunis, though his power is necessarily n'
mited.

We are pleased with the tone of some of the Jewi
preachers and lecturers in this country, and we belie",
that some of those gentlemen may be the means of re:
moving the bitter hostility which pervades the Jewi,
breasts towards Christianity. For instance, we bra
with no small degree of gratification of Dr. Raphalri
liberal sentiments, enunciated by that preacher last Sa'
turday week in the Jewish Synagogue, Seel-street,
also, on the same evening, in the Mechanics' Institutioe;
but we know, to our sorrow, that there are many more
Mitchells in England than Militialls. We cannot helP'
therefore, proposing to our readers the following problem'
for their solution :—SUPPOSE THE JEWS BECOME " TBf
POWERS THAT BE," WHAT TREATMENT WILL CHRISTI'
ANITY EXPERIENCE AT THEIR HANDS ?

POLICE

INTELLIGENCE

On Saturday, three men were committed for trial,
charged with having stolen five firkins of butter from the
Clarence Dock quay, just landed by the Hercules from
Newry. Two other men were committed for receivllli
the same, knowing them to have been stolen.
VIOLENT ASSAULT.—On Tuesday, at the police-court'
two men, named James Bowman and Joseph Croft, Wee
charged with committing a violent assault upon an elclerlf
gentleman, named M'Cann, at the corner of Regent'
street, Waterloo-road. Mr. M'Cann was conveyed, la 9
state of extreme exhaustion, to the shop of Mr. Lon;'
ridge, a druggist, labouring under a severe wound on the
left temple, which had been inflicted with some sbarP
instrument. A short time ago, he had occasion to aP'
pear against some companions of the prisoners, who form
part* of a lawless gang, and are the terror of that part°
the town. Committed for trial.

THE MARINE STORE DEALERS.—It appears these gen'
try have hit upon an expedient to circumvent the vigilanal
of the police, which of late has been directed especially to
their mode of doing business. On Thursday a elan
named Smith, who keeps a store in Brick-street, Wag
brought before Mr. Rushton, charged with having 20P'
lqr. 171bs. of lead in his shop, supposed to have been
stolen ; the lead was melted. Smith stated that he ben,
bought it from two women whose names are Mulholland
and Campbell, and both of whom keep marine store:
The women denied the charge. From the fact of the lead
being melted, it was impossible to trace the ownership;
the three prisoners were consequently discharged.
THE DESTITUTE IRISH.—The approach of winter
brings instances of the miserable condition of the poor
Irish in this town. On Thursday two peasant lads from
the unhappy country were brought before Mr. Rushton
on the charge of having stolen a few turnips. A police
constable arrested them at Everttn, with the turnips 111
their possession, which they stated were taken from 1!
field four miles off. They gave their names as Michael
and Martin Drury. The magistrate enquired from what
part of Ireland the lads came, to which they replied Ross'
common, but declined to return, as they have no friends
there. The only alternative open to the magistrate ivei
put in force, namely. fourteen days' imprisonment.
STEALING A CONV.—On Saturday, Edward Hassall
Michael Coody, two butchers belonging to this towl!1
were brought before the magistrates at Birkenheser
charged with having stolen a fat cow, the property of the
Rev. Josias King, of Woodchurch, in Cheshire. It ell'
peared that the cow had been taken from a field at Wood:
church at a very early hour on Monday last, and brought
over to Liverpool (by two men answering the description
of the prisoners) from Tranmere ferry, by the six o'cloel
boat. On Thursday or Friday Hassatl or Coody called t°
sell a cow's hide at a tannery in Bevington-bush. Tlla
tanner noticed that it answered the description given 1.11
a descriptive bill, a copy of which he had received, ett
sent out for the police, but the men ran away. The,
were, however, captured, and committed to Chester caste/
for trial.

IMPUDENT CLAIM.—On Saturday, a claim for wage
was made by a seaman named Taylor against Captalii
Duncan, of the Ravine. He and twenty others had de;
serted the vessel to get higher wages. After the case had
been heard, Mr. Rushton said to Taylor.—" Haw did yell
get back to Liverpool ?" Taylor : " I came in the Aber
deen." Mr. Rushton : "At what amount of wages?
Taylor ".f..5 per month." Mr. Rushton (to the car
tain): " I advise you to seek out the owners of the Abet:
deen, in order that their wages may not be paid. This le
one of those common robberies committed by fellows who
sign articles to go to our colonial ports : they desert the
ship in order to obtain higher wages. If yoswill take rof
advice, you will warn the owners of the Aberdeen ; 31;1
may file an information against the crew, and they will be
made to pay all the expenses you have incurred, the whole
twenty-one of them, and you cannot do a better service
to the mercantile marine than by doing this."
CHARGE OF EVADING DOCK DUES.—On Wednesdail
Messrs. Boyd and Brown, commission merchants, appearel`,
to answer a summons preferred by the dock solicitor, al'
leging that the defendants had shipped a quantity of 1:0%
iron on board the ship Ohio, lying in the Waterloo Dock.
The vessel left this port on Saturday, and on Monday the
defendants tendered the amount of the dues at the Dock'
office, when it was refused. Mr. Rushton, after hearing
evidence, said there was no legal proof of an attempt tv
.
evade the dues, the course pursued being the usual one,
besides, the defendant did not hear anything of the sun?'
mons till after the money was tendered. A. clerk is
Messrs. Boyd's office said he had repeatedly paid dues on
iron two d .vs after the shipment. There was no attempt
made to evade payment. Mr. Rushton thought the sys-
tem pursued Rel 3 a lax one, but he should!, under the cir-
cumstances, merely infl"- - - • ,con-

a nominal penalty or (-vs.., anc
order the double amount of dues to be paid. The full pe-
nalty is £20..

EiTRAORDINARY ROBBERY.—James Carr, Jamesßeed,
and Henry Green, three bailiffs' followers, were charged/
on Saturday, with having stolen a clock and sofa, value
£3 10s., from the house of Mrs. Margaret King,, Hill-
street. In the course of Friday the prisoners, with two
other men not in custody, entered Mrs. King's house,
and said they had come to levy under a distress warrant;
but produced no authority. Mrs. King was astunishen
beyond measure. She owed no debt, and could not be le
arrears for rent, inasmuch as she is the owner of the
house which she occupies. The men threatened that'
unless they were paid 17s. 6d. they would distrain upon
her goods. She ordered them away. They came bacli.,
however, shortly afterwards-, and, smashing in the back
door, effected a forcible entrance, and took a clock and
sofa from the back parlour. These were put into a car,
which they had in readiness, conveyed away, and offer
