A FEW GUESSES ON THE LIVERPOOL RACES,

The Produce this year, if I rightly foretel,
Will be won by Mr. Mostyn's bay colt "Brunel."
Then comes a Match, in which "April Noddy"
Will come in the first, for a bumper of toddy.
The Bickerstafte Stakes, just a mile o'er the flat,
Ought to fall to the lot of " All-round-my-Hat.
Then follows the Sefton, in which Bulkeley's " Emma"
Will skew as the winner, bar a dilemma.
Then for the Mersey, if you're well ofl for soap,
Lay it on thick on R. tlennett's " Hope.'
For the Chesterfield Stakes back the colt by Sheet Anchor,
Who ought to be first, for they say he's a spanker.
I must now make a pause—nay, I'd better give up,
For 1 scarcely dare venture to guess at the Cup;
For I don't think the favonrites are likely to win,
So I'll pick out another to risk with my tin ;
And here goes at random, Mr. Cook I give you joy,
And think you will win with "What,'—no,—with Tru boy.
Now, had 1 thousand—on the Foal—l'd advance it,
I will prove a walk over for Lord Wesminster's " Lancet."
The Handicap (Derby) the judge will decide, is
Gain'd by Lord Eglington's nag "Aristides;"
In half-an-hour after you will then know,
The Free Handicap is gain'd by " Benbow."
For the linowsley Dinner, Mr. Jaques's " Advice,"
think very likely to come in for a slice
Then after the dinner, and I hope lots of cheer,
The Leger will go to the famous " Red Deer."
The Grosvenor Stakes, I am sure you'll agree,
Ought to go to " The Best of the Ten or of Three.

OGIBBEWAY (OR CHIPPPWA) INDIANS—We
haan opportunity last week of visiting these extraordi-
nary men, and seeing them go through a number of the
dances of their extraordinary country, at the Assembly-
rooms, Great George-street. We can recommend our
readers to lose no time in availing themselves of the op-
portunity now offered to them, of seeing in their own land,
biAly favourable specimens of a people, whom oppres-
sion, and we shame to say it, civilization itself are fast
exterminating. Another generation may not leave upon
the face of the earth a solitary relic of this or any other
native Indian tribe. We may add that much interesting
information with respect to their manners, &c., by the
gentleman who, during the temporary indispositon of
Captain Rankin, superintended the exhibition.
STEALING LEAD.—An ill-looking little man, named
William Dodd, an old offender, was yesterday placed at
the bar of the Police-court, charged with stealing a
quantity of lead, which was produced, folded up in cakes
or pieces. Police-officer John Croft said that at eleven
o'clock last night (Sunday) he saw the prisoner in a pas-
sage leading from the back of the houses in Brownlow-
street into Brownlovv-hill, and on apprehending him
found he had a piece of the lead in his hand, which he
afterwards found corresponded with that of a spout be-
longing to one of the houses. Mrs. Ann Billington, the
owner of the house, said she saw the piece placed to a
spout of her house, and that it exactly corresponded, bay-
inz evidently been broken off. The other pieces were
found on the top of an out-house. The weight of the
morning,
said that
he saw
a
lead was upwards of 301 b. The prisoner declined to say
anything in explanation. He was committed tor trial.
ASSAULT ON A POLICE-OFFICER.—At the police-
court yesterday, a man named James Welsh, a lithogrphic
printer, was brought up before Mr. Rushton, on a charge
of violently assaulting police-officer No. 289 while in the

violently, producing the cuts and wounds
whether with his fists or with some other on his face, but

was also much hurt
behind, and he was so ill, from the treatment he bad re-
ceived, that he was obliged to go off duty.---The prisoner

tected. He then
decided
that the prisoner must pay £5,
or be imprisoned one month.

tive for the city of Limerick, in the Imperial Parliament.
Sir Howard Douglas voted in favour of the second
reading of the Government Railways Bill, on Thursday
night; Mr. Entwisle being one of the tellers against it.

BLESSING OF A CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT...
Last year the poor-rate for the town of Manchester was
4s. in the pound, but for the current year only 3s. ! show-
ing a saving of the small (?) amount of something ap-
proaching £35,000. Rather significant this, particularly
to the middle classes of the community.
ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—Mr. J. S. Balls, the fa-
vourite light comedian, takes his benefit to-night ; and, if
we may judge of the estimation he is held in by the public
by the unbounded applause that is nightly bestowed on
his performances we would say it will be deservedly well
attended. The bill of fare is exceedingly attractive.
EMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES.—It appearg
by a tabular statement in the New York Herald of June
24th, that the arrivals of emigrants from the lst to the
24th of that month amounted to the extraordinary num-
ber of 13,683 ! Of these about 3000 are from this coun-
try, and the remainder chiefly from Germany.
At a general meeting of the Jockey Club, on Saturday
last, the following resolution was passed ;—"That it being
now proved that Running Rein was three yea's old when
he ran for the two-years old plate at Newmarket, Creno-
line must be considered the winner of that race, and that
the Duke of Rutland is entitled to the plate."
GRATIFYING AND DESERVED TESTIMONIAL.—On
Monday last, at the Farmers' Arms, Park-Road, a hand-
some silver cup was presented to Mr. Abraham Bellis, by
a few rate-payers, for his valuable and faithful services to
the Township of Toxteth-park, of forty years standing.
This is the second piece of plate presented to him, from
the same place. in the short space of four years.

AMERICAN ICE.—It will be seen by an advertisement
in our paper of to-day, for the sale of this article, that an
agency has been established in this town. It is from
Wenham lake, a sheet of pure spring water, of about
400 acres, situate about 18 miles from Boston, which is
for the most part frozen to a thicknes of two feet thick.
The superiority of this novel article is acknowledged on.
all hands.
Poe KET •PICKING OPPOSITE THE TOWN. HALL."'
SPEEDY JUSTlCE.—Yesterday, about one o'clock, at the
Police-court, a boy, named Joseph Smith, was brought
before Mr. Rushton, charged with picking the pocket of
a gentleman near the main entrance of the Town-hall.

It-appeared that while the crowd which had been standing
at the end of Castle-street opposite the portico all the
forenoon, in expectation of obtaining a sight of the King
of Saxony, the prisoner was seen by a police-officer in
plain clothing to attempt to pick the pockets of several of
the by-standers, and finally got possession of a silk hand-
kerchief from a gentleman's pocket. When taken hold of
the article was found concealed under his arm. He Was
committed to the House of Correction for three month

and an order was made that the respective counsel should
furnish the promoters of the bill, in the course of the
evening, with the clauses they wished to introduce. It is
not the practice of the Lords to announce the preamble of
a bill to be proved, as in the Commons ; the announce-
ment they made is, however, equivalent. The clauses of
the bill were then considered in committee, and it was
expected that the report would be presented to the Hones
of Lords last night, when the bill would be propcsed to
be read a third time.

MILITARY FUNERAL.—A soldier of the Royal Artil-
lery, on furlough, having died in the Mffitary Hospital,
was buried, on Sunday last, in St. James's Co-Lute:la
with military honours, showing that, though he, d.e
among strangers, his remains were not committect
un-
honoured to the earth. The men of the 6th Regiment
formed the firing and funeral party, and the band of the
Local Companies, (Pensioners,) by the permission Of
Captain Ewing, contributed their share of svmr athY
performing the solemn music of the Dead March. The
sappers and miners, under Lieut. Hanelly, the various re-
cruiting parties, and upwards of sixty rank and file of the
Local Force formed the procession, shewing the regard
that the old soldier, who has done his work, can feel for
those that have yet to do it. The whole was under the
direction of Lieut. Cowell, District Staff Adjutant.
CHEAP TRIP FROM LONDON TO LIVERPOOL.--SYe
understand that a cheap railway trip is likely to take
place from London to Liverpool and back in the ensuing
month, under the management of the contractor for the
Liverpool and London trip, thus giving the teeming(
thousands from the great metropolis an opportunity o
visiting and viewing the wonders of the manufacturing
districts, as well as enjoying the delightful and romantic
scenery of Wales with its splendid Snowdon, the beauti-
ful lake district, and also shaking hands with their Scot
and Irish neighbours. From what we know of the desire
of the Cockneys to see all that is to be seen during tbiS
fortnight's trip we shall have thousands of them rambling
amongst us and spreading themselves all over the cotes"
try.
