LIVERPOOL OCTOBER SESSIONS

The Quarter Sessions of the peace for this Borough
commenced 'yesterday, before Gilbert Henderson, Esq.
the Recorder. The Calendar contained the names of 112
prisoners charged with felony, and eight with misdemean-
ours. Of these it appears 8 only can read and write well ;
52 can read and write imperfectly ; 16 read imperfectly ;
and 41 can neither read nor write. Of three of the pris-
oners no account is given. _ _ _ _

The following gentlemen were sworn of the Grand
Jury.
The proclamation against vice and immorality having
been read,
Charles It Simpson, merchant, Rodney-street, Foreman.

George Warden, merchant, Rodney-street.
The RECORDER, addressing the Grand Jury, said, that
the number of cases in the calendar was large, but perhaps
not larger than might be expected from the long interval
of time that had elapsed since the last sitting of the court.
There was one charge to which their attention would be
called. It was against the captain of a ship, for having
put one of his crew ashore on the coast of Africa, and
there leaving him. Now, captains of vessels ought to
know that it was an indictable offence to force on shore
any seaman without his completing the voyage, and not
bring him home. The accused was not justifiable in doing
as he (the Recorder) thought he had done from the facts
as he had read them in the depositions. Another case
that would bri brought before them, was that of a youth
who had taken a pocket book, which a person had left be-
hind him in the office in which the prisoner was employed,
and had removed it. It should be known that if any pro-
perty is left behind anywhere, or dropped by hurry or
mistake, the party finding it should take care of it. He
had no right to take it as his own, but to endeavour to
find the owner. if, on the other hand, he endeavoured to
convert it to his own use, and to deprive the owner of his
property, he was guilty of larceny. The question for them
to consider in this case was, whether the accused had or
had not such guilty intention, and be guided in their find-
ing accordingly. Several cases would be submitted to
them, on which they would have to consider the slightest
removal of goods, and with what intent. In one case-a
hoy had got into a kitchen, where he removed a watch
from one part of the place to another, but being seen, he
replaced it where he tumid it, and here too the question
hinged on the intent. After the usual instructions rela-
tive t.. finding bills against prisoners in cases only in
which it night appear that the party could be fairly put
on his tri,il, the Recorder requested the Grand Jury to
retire to their duties. _

Several true bills were found in a short time, and the
trials proceeded ; but the cases disposed of throughout the
day, were not of sufficient interest to be reported iu de-
tail

The following was the result at the close last night :
Ten Years' Transportation.—Mary Farrell, aged 39,
for stealing a quawity of wearing apparel ; an old offender.
—John O'Neal, IS, for stealing a spoon;, also a previ-
ously long offender.
7'hree Month's Imprisonment.—Andrew M`Donough,
22, for embezzling certain sums, the property of Messrs.
Re. jarnin H yam arid others (Lord-street), his emi,loyers.
(Fourtr en days s .litary confinement.)
Two Months' Imprisonment.—Edward White. 15, for
stealing a vest, the property of James Smith. (Fourteen
day's solitary confinement, and to be once whipped.)—
E-ther Martin, 15, for stealing a watch from the person
of Reuben Lowe. (One week solitary.) Eleanor Ban-
tv.r, 15, for stesling various dresses from shops, &c. and
Mary Banner, 9, for the same offence, one week solitary
imprisonment.
One Month's Imprisonment —Frederick Osborne, 15,
for stealing a sovereien, the property of his master.
(One week solitary confinement,)—William Dunn, 24.
stealing a purse with money. (Same pun;slJunerit.)
The other prisnners convicted were sentenced to vari-
ous terms, from six weeks to ten days.
In looking over the calendar, we find that Jo,ialt
Thomas Arisdell, aged 3-1. an attorney, aim was com-
mirted on the 2nd August, for having assaulted and struck
two females, has been removed to the Asylum, as " in.
sane."

IMPORTANT FROM NEW ZEALAND.-COL-
LISION BETWEEN THE BRITISH AND
THE NATIVES.

By the arrival yesterday of the Trvphan-, from Ntw
Zealand, we have advices to the 17th of May, the con-
tents of which are of some importani e, as showing the
unsettled and dangerous state of things in the colony.
Our last advices were to the 3rd May, and stated, gene-
rally, the fact of an outbreak of the natives and the
capture of Pomare by her Majesty's forces. The more
recent accounts give details of the further operations,
directed principally against a stronghold in the possession
of a rebel chief. John Heki, which, however, do not seem
to have been successful, although serious loss of life is
said to have been the result to Heki's followers, amount-
ing, by one account, to 21)0 men killed. On our side the
loss is stated at eleven killed and thirty-seven wounded,
The position of the natives was a very strong one, and
very obstinately defended. The British force, conststing
of troops of the 58th and 96th Regiments, with 'eamen
and marines from the Stains Castle, Velocity, and
Aurora, ul imately retired in gond order from the scene
of contest. It is doubtful, from the accounts, whether
the affair will not rather encourage then depress the re-
bellious followers o, Heki, who is still at large, and ex-
pected to be very trouble•orne.

Several of the reports are very contradictory. One of
them states that, during the absence of the troops, the
boats of the Hazard and North Star burnt five village=,
and destroyed ten cocoa canoes belonging to John Heki,
and sent off four European boats which bad been stol-n,
and, with the canoes, were hauled up amongst the bushes.
After the action the whole of the parties engaged, with
the wounded, were embarked, and returned to Auckland.

APPEAL TO THE PROTESTANTS OF
ENGLAND.

An adjourned meeting was held in Belfast, on Friday,
which was attended by noblemen and gent eaten from the
several counties in the province of Ulster, the Earl of
Roden in the chair. Air address to the Pr,testants of
the British empire, proposed by the Earl of Erne, and
seconded by the Hon. Somerset Maxwell, was unani-
mously adopted, and ordered to be signed by the chair-
man on behalf of the meeting, and of the Marquis of Down-
shire, the Earl of Enniskillen, Viscount O'Neil, and
several other noblemen and gentlemen. This document
has not yet been made public ; but the substance of it is
to the following effect :—lt sets out by calling on the
Protestants of lireat Britain to give the case of their Irish
brethren a calm and unprejudiced hearing, as they believe
that their fall would be the signal for the fall of Protes-
tantism throughout Christendom. It then refers to the
strenuous support the Irish Protestants gave to the pre-
sent Government on their accession to office, notwith-
standing the mlsgivings of others whose fo,esight has now
fully justified the course they have adopted ; still they die-
claim any indisposition to co-operate with Ministers in a
conciliatory policy towards the Roman Catholics, but it
must be on terms of equality with both parties; that the
advancement of the church of Rome is not to proceed
part passu with the depression of Protestairism. They
object to the endowment of Maynooth, contrary to the
remonstrances of a million of British Protestants, while a
peremptory refusal wag given to the reasonable petit it n of
the Irish Protestants for some slight did towards tie in-
truction of their cLildren in a manner which they con-
ceive to be conformab!e to their faith ; they are therefore
driven to the startling conclusion that it is the design of
the Minister to govern Ireland through the medium of
the Catholic party, whose influence is to be purchased at
any hazard or by any concession. Under such circum-
stancts, they naturally enongh are led to suppose that
the next step will be the project of endowing the Roman
Catholic clergy—one which, they hesitate not to say.
would strike at the maintenance of the established church,
and thus shake one of the fundamental articles of the Act
of Union. Reference is then made to the general state
of Ireland—the murders, the conspiracies, the immunity
enjoyed by the perpetrators of the tautest deeds, and the
comparative innocuousness of the power of the law. To
meet these evils, they propose to associate with their Eng-
lish brethren in the spirit of men who can appreciate the
value of religion, confident in that veneration for consti-
tutional liberty which makes an Englishman jealous of
any encrom hment of his right of free expression of politi-
cal opinions. The recent dismissals of magistrates are
then instanced as acts both harsh and arbitrary, and as
an attempt to establish a principle that to unite for any
purpose, however legal, may expose the parties to the
same penalties as if their objects had been unlawful. To
carry this principle out, any Government so inclined
might convert the Irish magistracy into a body of politi-
cal partisans, and all confidence in them by the people
would be at an end. The appeal concludes by calling on
the Protestants of the kingdom to strain every energy to
secure a taithful representation in the House of Com-
mons, and no longer to neglect the registries, if they would
not have their political influence wholly paralyzed. Fur-
ther apathy, and the triumph of the foe would be com-
p lete.

On Sunday week, and on Thursday last, being the
Romish festival of St. Wilfred, Mr. Newman, and the
gentleman mentioned as having joined him in his secession
(with the exception of Mr. Christie), attended mass at
the Roman Catholic Chapel at St. Clement's.

INTERESTING FACT FOR THE FRIENDS OF SCRIP-
TURAL. EDUCATION.—OD Monday, the 12th instant,
school was opened by the minister of St. Simon's, in the
spacious room built by the Socialists for a school. Four
years ago this heresy flourished ; but, owing to the
zealous exertions of Mr. Briudley, the ever-to-be-remem-
bered Anti-Social lecturer, and the common sense of
Englishmen, Socialism has been extinguished. Their
ball is now used for public mee.ings, and their school by
the Church of England ; St. Simon's School was opened
in it, with 150 children, and it is hoped that, before long,
the number will be greatly increased, as the room is
capable of holding 300, and the mistresses are young per•
ions of the beat ability.

TOTAL LOSS OF THE BARQUE MARY, FROM
NEW 60U11-1 WALLS FOR LONDON.

The Bucephalus from Bombay arrived at this port Yes-
terday, and having spoken the Indian, from Launceston,
on the 6th instant, was put in possession of the following
lamentable particulars of the loss of the Ma v, Captain
Newby, and 17 passengers. " The Mary sailed from the
Heads of Port Jackson, on the 24th May, when the wind
being favourable a passage through Bass' Straits was
attempted, but as it veered to the westward all hopes of
going by the Cape of Good Hope was resigned, and in
putting the vessel about, at about a quarter past 11 o'clock,
she missed stays and struck on a reef. In a few minutes
she became so completely shattered that the mainmast
dropped through the bottom. The only boats avail-
able were the whale boat and the long boat,
the former slung on the quarter, and in these the
passengers and a portion of the crew contrived to cram
themselves. Tne fore and wizen masts next went by the
board, and no hope was then left of launching the whale
boat • but fortunately the ship broke up, and threw her
rten:foremost into the sea, when it was found that both
plugs were out of her bottom, and she was rapidly sink-
ing. The holes were eventually stopped by the sleeve of
a shirt; but having only one oar they could not get under
way. About this time a seaman swam from the wreck
with another oar, when, from the cries. (supposed from
the long boat) they proceeded in search of her. On a
portion of the wreck they found twelve of the crew and
Mrs. Evans, who alone had been miraculously saved from
the long boat, which had swamped, but who had lost no
less than six of her children. From the wreck they ob-
tained five oars, and, with the assistance of some calico
formed into sails, they reached Hinder's Island on Sunday
night, where, for some days, they subsisted on fish. The
captain and two men proceeded in search of the settle-
ment, and were most kindly received by Dr. Milligan,
who immediately despatched a supply of provisions to the
sufferers, forty-two in number, who afterwards proceeded
to the settlement. The following is a list of the parties
lost :—Three daughters of Mrs. Newby ; one servant,
Mrs. Turnbull ' • Captain Collin's two daughters and maid
servant, Sarah Foulks ; six children of Mrs. Evans; Mrs.
Heath and two children ; and Mrs. Gray. Total, 17.
As not a single article of any kind was saved, a sub-
scription, which had been liberally responded to, had been
set on foot for the sufferers, and on inquiry as to the sea-
worthiness of the vessel was about to take place, it being
asserted that she was making six inches of water per hour
at the time of sailing.

IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE

(From yesterday's Herald)
We have just received a commuoication from an es-
teemed correspondent at Carlsruhe, on whose means of
information we can place every reliance. He announces
the most gratifying intelligence that the Zollverein Tariff
is at length finished, and wid speedily be made public.
He is a good German, and seems ro grudge our advanta-
ges, for he says, the duties on British manufactures are
not raised at all on any one artic'e of the least impor-
tance; indeed, only one or two trifling things, as needles.
He speaks of th- national feeling (so we render his
votertandiselie Gefuhle) bring somewhat disappointed.
Because there are, no doubt, in Germany as elsewlv-re,
thoughtless peop e who suppose the benefits of commerce
with this country are not mutual, and thus grudge us
our commercial prosperity. However, our national
feelings are, of course, now exceedingly gratified.

We are requested to direct attention t, the advertise-
ment of the Ladies' Benevolent Society for Clothing the
Scottish Poor, announcing that the annual sale will take
place on Thursday next.
We understand that a meeting of the directors of the
leading railway companies is about to be held, for the
purpose of considering the best means of checking un-

and upholding 'he characti-r of those which are legiiirnate.
The Court-martial on Lieuten,int L. B. Burnell, of the
Superb, closed on Saiurday ; the Court found him guilty
of the charges—namely, being on shore out of unif.,rtn,
contrary to the orders of his captain, and tieing found
asleep while on duty—and sentenced him to be dismissed
the se-vice.

We refer our readers to the advertisement of Mr. T.
Martindale, (from the firm of Messrs. Gillows and Co.,
London,) who is about to open a Cabinet Furniture Show-
room in Birkenhead. The firm with which he was con-
nected is a guarantee of the quality of furniture he a ill
manufacture.

Dr. Wilberforce will, we balieve, be the new Bishop of
Oxford. By the translation of the Bishop of Oxford to
Bath and Wells, and the expected elevation of Dr.
Wilberforce to the episcopal bench, the Deaneries of
Canterbury and Westminster will be vacant. Dr. Ball,
Canon of Christ Church, is mentioned as the successor
of Dr. Wilberforce in the Deanery of Westminster.
ACQUITTAL. OF LIEUTENANT HYDF,R.—The proceed-
ings of the court-martial in the case of Lieutenant klyder,
of the 10th Hussars, the issue of which has been looked
for with great interest by the army, have terminated in
the official announcement of that , fficer's acquittal on
Friday afternoon at Leeds. Mr. Samuel Warren. de-
fended Lieutenant Hyder, for which, we understand, he
received 300 guineas.

ROBBERY or PLATE.—At the Police Court yesterday,
three young men, or rather lads, Charles Dough, James
Welsh, and Joseph Routledge, were committed for hay.
ing been concerned in plundering Mr. Wiight's house,
No. 92, Chatham-street, of numerous articles of plate, of
considerable value, part of which was found deposited
in the midden of the house. A female servant had been
employed to clean it, and bad left it in a basket in a
pantry. The yard door was shut, but not locked, at the
time, ( Saturday last, at noon,) and the articles being
missed, the prisoners were found loitering about the
premises. On one of them the sum of £1 lls was
found. Two of them had before been in gaol for felony,
and as further evidence is expected they were remanded.
COMMITMENTS TO, THE SESSIONS, AT THE POLICE-
COURT. YESTERDAY.—IsabeIIa Monks, for stealing, on
Saturday, a gold breast.pin from the shirt of a man to
whom she had spoken lin the street. Sh.e at. empted
to place it again upon his person in Bridewell but it
dropped on the ground.—Mary Shaw for stealing from a
as an the sum of £8 and a handkerchief, which was after-
ward s found in his bosom. She bad before been im-
prison ed 7 months for felony.—John Connolly, for rob-
bing the shop of Mr. Bell, draper, Paradise-street, where
he had been a servant, of £l7 lOs in gold, £8 in silver,
and a considerable quantity of silk handkerchiefs, and
wearing apparel. The prisoner is an elderly man, and
was poorly clad.

THE CAMBP.IDGIESHIRE STAKES.—Mr.Watt has sold
the Baron to Me. E. R. Clarke : the price has not trans-
pired, but we understand it is either 4000 guineas ( ut-
right, or 3000 guineas down, with an additional 1000
guineas, contingent on his winning the Cambridgeshire.
Mr. Watt's right to " do as he likes with his own " cannot
be doubted, but as the horse has been backed heavily by
the public, we may be excused for expressing a hope that
until after the race he will not be removed from the care
of a trainer who has brought him succe-sfully to the post
on two great occasions. The latest betting on the Cam-
bridgeshire—and it has been consequent on the sale—is
6 to 1 against Alarm, 12 to 1 against Wolfdog, 20 to 1
against Wee Pet, and 1000 to 20 against Devil's Dust
(taken freely). Offers to back Alarm against the Baron.
GALLANT RESCUE.—On Wednesday night last, the
sloop Stag, coal-laden, struck upon the north bank, and
immediately filled. The crew, consisting of three hands
together with the master's daughter and grandchild, be-
took themselves to the rigging, in which exposed and
perilous situation they were, at eight o'ciock the following
morning, providentially descried by Captain Gowan, of
the steamer Sea King, on his passage from Belfast to
this port. Captain Gowan, with the chanicteristic
humanity of a British sailor, immediately bore down with
his valuable ship to the relief of the sufferers, and having
approached as closely as he could with safety to the edge
of the bank, the long boat was speedily over the side,
manned by the mate and four other brave volunteers.
Toe feelings of the passengers on board the Sea King
were at this moment intensely excited ; the safety of the
boat's crew, in such a tremendous sea, being to all a para-
mount consideration. The subjects of his marine majesty
were, however, never for an instant daunted in their
exertions to save thelives of their fellow-creatures, and,
after an absence of an hour arid a half, accompanied by
We crew of the devoted sloop, a poor helpless woman and
her child, in the most exhausted state, they safely stood
upon the deck of the steamer, welcomed by many an
honest, hearty cheer. Tern' orary relief was liberally ren-
dered to the poor sufferers, and Captain Gowan has
kindly undertaken to receive any subscription that may
be left on board the Sea King, in the Clarence Dock, for
their benefit. The unfortunate master of the sloop has,
we understand,; lost all he had in the world by the
disaster,
