Considerable, and very natural indignation, we and

stand, were expressed on board the two ferry boats—the
Seacombe and Egremont,—at the dangerous nature of the
arrangements by which these accidents were caused, and
which are sufficient to alarm even those passengers who
cannot reasonably be called timid. It was conceived,
when we went to the serious expense of constructing the
great landing-stage, that it would be the means of re-

lieving the public from the danger of similar recurrences ;
and we certainly cannot see why, in the winter months at
least, when heavy seas are running, and considering that

it is now dark when she st
should not be relived from the inconvenience to their p
sengers, and the risk of damage to the boats themselv(

MESSRS. BROUGIN BURLESQUE.—" The
Isle," lately played and originally produced at our Amphi-
theatre, has been highly successful at the Adelphi
Theatre, in London, where it was brought out with great
splendour last Monday evening. All the papers speak in
the highest possible terms of it.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—On Wednesday night, about six
o'clock, as a Mr. Jones was going to Poulton Hall, near
Bebbington, Rock Ferry, he was stopped by two men, who
knocked him down and robbed him of a £lO note and Is.
Several gentlemen in the neighbourhood, hearing of the
robbery, went in search of the robbers, but without success.
CONSEQUENCES OF INTEMPERANCE.—On Thursday, a
" helper" in a livery stable, named Peter Crowley, was
found dead in a horse midden, with his head in the water
hole. He was occasionally employed about the stables of
Mr. Stanley, coach proprietor, Roscoe-street, and on
Thursday he had been sent with a fare to the steeple-
chase. When he returned he was in a state of intoxica-
tion, and went into the midden impelled by the calls of
nature. A very- short time elapsed when be was brought
out a corpse.
