THURSDAY.

James Keen, 35, (could read and write in a snperior
manner) was charged with uttering a forged will of one
James Baines deceased.
Messrs. Blair and Drinkwater appeared for the prose-
cution. The prisoner conducted his own defence, and
manifested considerable dexterity in the management of
his case. He is rather a good-looking man, of genteel
exterior.

In the early part of the present year Mr. James Baines,
of Everton, died, leaving a considerable amount of pro-
perty, under a will dated in 1840. Disaffection being ex-
cited amongst some of his relatives in consequence of their
expectations not being realised, Mr. James Mawdesley, a
brotber-in-law to the deceased, residing in Burlington-
street. employed the prisoner to make inquiries as to the
validity of the said will. Accordingly, in September last,
the prisoner took some steps in the matter, and several
interviews took place between him and Mawdesley, when
the latter paid o, er several sums of money as a compensa-
tion for the prisoner's trouble. In October the prisoner
called upon Mawdesley and produced a will, which he
stated to be the original and legitimate will of Mr. Baines,
and purporting to be signed by him ; he then proposed to
go with Mawdsley to Chester to have the will executed,
(that was about the latter end of October;) but, on their
meeting there, the prisoner made some excuses as to the
non-appearance of several witnesses who were to have
been in attendance, and afterwards contrived to make his
escape. On the 25th of November he was discovered at
Manchester, and taken into custody. A number of papers
were found upon him co-inected with the transaction in
which he was implicated. The will which the prisoner
had prepared, and which bore the signature of James
Baines, was alleged to be a forgery, and in the handwriting
of the prisoner.
The prisoner entered into a long defence, in which he
endeavoured to fix the charge of forgery on other parties,
and to show that he himself could have no motive for the
commission of such an act. He called several witnesses,
whose evidence did not, however, change the features of
the case.

His LORDSHIP briefly summed up the evidence, and
the jury, found the prisoner guilty of uttering the will,
knowing it to be forged.

The prisoner begged hard for mercy, when his Lordship
said,—" Have you never experienced mercy before?"—
Prisoner : " Slightly, and I have not abused it; for many
years of my life I have had great difficulties to contend
with, and have fought my way up to hold a respectable
station in society.'
The JUDGE.—You have been once before sentenced to
transportation. The case of to-day has proved you are a
most wicked, daring, bad man, in every sense of the
word ; and I should ill discharge my duty if I gave you
any opportunity of returning to this country. The sen-
tence of the court is, that you be transported for the term
of your natural life.
Prisoner, (with a look of concern.)—" We shall meet
again, my Lord."

sumed in this country.
We are prepared to supply these qualities at Twopence
per lb. profit on the cost, for READY MONEY, in ori-
ginal Packages. The overweight, which is generally from
3 to 41bs., is allowed ; but we always guarantee 21bs.over-
weight, hich reduces the price of the Tea about 2d.
per lb. Where an original Chest is too much for one Fa-
mily, we suggest that several join together and divide it;
and for their convenience we shall weigh it up in parcels,
as the parties may require it.

and upwards, will be delivered carriage free, if accompa.
nied with a remittance or respectable reference. It must
be obvious that our system of selling at small profits will
neither admit of RISK 011. CREDIT, therefore, when refer-

COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT,

Although the market opened quietly this week, holders con-
tinued fi:m, and pr ces were fully supported for a 1 descriptions,
with the exception of Brazils, which are still offered freely ; ar:d
buyers have the advantage. Yesterday there was an increased
demand, resulting in sales to the extent of 10,000 bales— Ame
rican (ot which speculators took 3,500 bales) going off at extreme
rates; whilst Brazils, particularly Pernams, were sold at the

BEGS most respectfully to inform the Nobility and
Ladies of Liverpool and the Vicinity that he has
always ready for inspection one of the
LARGEST RETAIL STOCK OF FURS

to be found either in or out of the Metropolis, (certainly
the most select,) and being solely his own Manufacture—
s great advantage over the mere seller—he is in a position
to answer for every article sold. t the present moment,
he has several
NE ESIGNS,
to which he respectfully invites an inspection. Many
imitations having been attempted, they will, in conse-
quence, not be exhibited in the windows of his Esta-
blishment. The advantage he possesses of having an
agent
ALWAYS IN THE LONDON MARKETS,
not only enables him to have the NEWEST FASHIONS,
but to purchase on most advantrgeous terms, consequently
he can offer FURS at such prices as he fearlessly asserts
will defy competition. The alterations and repairs will
be executed, as heretofore, by London Workmen.

THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SOCIETY.—AMATEUR
PERFORMANCE.—We learn that it is contemplated by
this society to give in a short time an amateur enter-
tainment at the Theatre-Royal, in aid of the funds of their
excellent institution for the support of the widows, decayed
members, and orphans of the fraternity, and the education
of the children. The object is highly praiseworthy ; and
as it is purposed that the pieces will be performed by mem-
bers of their own body, several of whom are rumoured to
be possessed of histrionic talent of a respectable order, we
have no doubt, if the intention be carried out, but that the
appeal will be responded to by the Liverpool public with
that liberality which characterises them on all benevolent
occasions.

POTATOES AND LOBSTERS FOR LIVERPOOL.—Potatoes
shipped for Liverpool and other ports still form a con.
siderable branch of trade from the different ports of Dum-
friesshire and Galloway ; and prices at a distance are still
advancing rather than declining. The best picked table
potatoes, put up in bags, bring, in Liverpool, 2s. to 2s. 2d.
per 90 pounds ; and as this figure is 22 pounds beneath
the cwt. or purchase tale, the shippers will realise, we
should suppose, a fair living profit.—Dumfries Courier.
This year lobsters have increased on the hands of the
fishermen of the Hebrides, and the Liverpool fishmongers,
taking advantage of the supply being only once a fort-
night from Scotland, have reduced the price, and sub-
jected the fishermen to other deductions, which bid fair
to cripple, if not altogether to destroy, this branch of
employment for the inhabitants of the western isles. On
Saturday evening upwards of twenty large boxes, cram-
med full of lobsters, from Mull alone, were sent by the
steamer from this port to Liverpool.—Greenock Adver-
tiser.

CHARGE OF ASSAULT.

Edward Davies, was charged with assaulting Matthew
Mathews, at Manchester. It appeared that, on the 24th
July last, Mathews and another gentleman were walking
along the street, when the defendant came up and struck
him, and was about to repeat his violence, when he was
given in charge to the policeman.
A verdict of guilty was returned, and the defendant
fined 20a., and ordered to enter into his own recogni-
zances to keep the peace.
John Chamley, Edward Kynaston, and John Lomax
were discharged by proclamation.
John Clarkson, convicted of forging a promissory note,
was sentenced to ten years' transportation.
The whole of the original business being disposed of,

of its Rodentia, amounting to no less than 53 well ascer-

dent may have prevented from keeping their appointments.

tainly, in Exe-stream" (extreme.)

him in which the right of opinion was brought in question,
it was argued for the party whose right was questioned,
that in his country (America) every man has a right freely
to express his opinions. To this the judge replied, with
great complacency, " 0 yab ! Every man has the right,
by the law, in this free Republic, to dink for himself, pro-
vided be dinks with the court."
FALLING IN LOVE WITH A LARGE FAMILY.—There
was a certain Lady Mapleberry, " with six unmarried
daughters ;—one of those large, lively, goodhumoured,
singing, dancing, riding, chatting families, where a young
man seeking a wife is apt to fall in love with the join,-
stock merit and animation of the group; and to feel quite
astonished on discovering, after his union with Harriet or
Jane, how moderate a proportion he has received in bis
lawful sixth of the music, information, accomplishments,
and good-humoured gossipry of the united tribe."

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 16.

This being the day appointed for holding what is termed
•t The great hristmas market." more than the usual bustle at-
tended on such interesting occasions was observed at an early
hour, and continued throughout the morning.
As to the number of beasts brought forward, it considerably
exceeded that on the great days of the two past years, as it thus
shows.

The quality was quite equal to any we have ever before wit-
nessed.

The prices obtained here this morning, and those obtained in
:he corresponding market in 1843 ruled as under:—
Great day iu 1843. Great day in 1844.

Beef per 81b 3 8 4 4 2 1 4 6

Had the weather been more favourable than it turned out, we
are quite of opinion, notwithst ,nding the immense numbers
brought forward, that better prices would have been obtained
for beasts.

In Sheep a very great improvement was noticed ; indeed, so
fine a collection of half-breds was scarcely ever known on such
an occasion as the present.
As to the Mutton trade it was in a very sluggish state, yet the
currencies obtained on this day se'nnight, the highest being 4s 4d
per 81b. were supported.
Very few Foreign Beasts or Sheep were on sale, and there was
scarcely any inquiry for them. The imports for the United Kin,
dom since Monday last have amounted to 180 Oxen and Cows, and
200 Sheep in for the most part good condition.

The bullock droves fresh up to•day, consisted of 250 short
horns (rum Lincolnshire, Leicestershii e,and Noithamptonshire ;
600 Scots, &c., from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge.

from the western and midland districts ; (500 various breeds
from other parts of England, 350 from Scotland while of Irish
beasts the number was ab,ut 120

The ',umbers of calves were good, while the veal trade ruled
heavy, at last week's prices. _ _

In Pigs, at least three-fourths of which were from Ireland,
very little was done at our quotations.
At the close of the market, nearly the whole of the stock was
disposed of.

FRIDAY.

The trade this morning was very dull for everything, and
nothing like Christin, s prices obtainable this year. the best qua.
lity of Beef and Mutton not making more than 4s 6d per stone;
by chance a pen of fine old Downs may reach 4s Bd, and a few
prime :'cots may do the same, b,,t that price is not a general
quotation.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. 15.
A very firm and steady Market to-day in Cotton : full
3000 bales sold, at the highest prices obtainable last week.
Holders are very firm, and seem unwilling sellers, except
at tip top prices.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. DEC. 17.
On reference to our import note beneath, it will be ob-
served that the arrivals of Grain and Oatmeal into this
place continue to be small, and of Flour by no means
large; but although the wind is still adverse, we had a
change of weather yesterday, and have a fine thaw this
morning; the late severe frost is therefore disappearing,
and, with a much milder temperature to-day, the millers
and dealers, in anticipation of more ample supplies, seem
disposed to remain rather inactive for the moment.
Our market, in consequence, has been rather languid to-
day for old Wheat of all descriptions, and new has met
only a moderate demand, at the rates of this day se'nnight.
Flour has been t 'ken off rather less freely than at the
close of the week, but without any change in prices from
Fridty.
Barley and Malt has been extremely dull at our last
quotations; and Beans and Pease are if anything the turn
lower. _

Oats continuing extremely scarce, and no supp!ies fresh
at hand, have in a few intances, by retail, realized an ad-
vance of ld. per 451bs.
Old Oatmeal having improved 6d. per is quoted 255.
to-day, with a moderate demand. In New no variation.

RECOLLECTIONS
OF THE PASSING YEAR.

AMIDST the many changes which have taken place
during the eventful year of 1844, still it must be con-
fessed that the most prominent amongst them have all had
a tendency to eastablish peace and commerce ; and it is
this feeling of confidence which has, perhaps more so than
any other, established trade on such a firm and substan-
tial foundation. At the commencement of the present
year, a year made memorable by the successive visits of
the principal crowned heads of Europe, ...ny were the
professions then made as to the future • .ut, amongst all
those who pledged themselves to t üblic at large, per-
haps there was not one who mad ch great professions as
B. H YAM, 63, 1,90 • D-STREET.
And now we triumphantlyAk has he not redeemed every
promise ? has he not surptissed a'l previous efforts ? has lie
not, in addition to his old patrons, secured thousands of
new ones? To all these questions we unhesitatingly an-
swer YES ! and the immense success which has ultimately
crowned his labours with such anparalleled effect, renders
it an imperative duty on his part to make the most suita-
ble and grateful acknowledgement ; and it is his intention
during the CHRISTMAS HOLYDAYS, to PRESENT
every CUSTOMER with a SPLENDID GIFT, which
will enable them to visit the Polytechruc Exhibition, the
Theatres, the Concerts, or any other public places of
amusement and resort at this festive season of the year.
And, in order to effect this, B. Hyam will; during the en-
suing holydays, sell his matchless clothing at 50 per cent.
lower than any house in the trade!
So those who now of Hyam buy
May save one-half their cash;
And with the other sally forth
And cut a mighty dash !

TO THS

NOBILITY, GENTRY, CLERGY, & FAMILIES,

THROUGHOUT
LIVERPOOL, LANCASHIRE, AND THE
SURROUNDING COUNTIES.

THE following remarks will shew the great saving to
be derived by purchasing original Packages of TEA,
and we invite the attention of the Proprietors of large
Establishments, Hotels, and all large Consumers, to the
Prices at which Tea is selling in the mark,el,at the present
time, viz.,
The market valtie of common Conkou is lod. to 11d.
per lb.; good ordinary strotti Do., Is.; strong Black-
leaf Do., (Souchong ~Arvour,) Is. 2d. to Is. 4d.;
middling Souchong s. 2d. ; fine Souchong, 2s. 4d. to
2s. 6d. per lb. Add 2s. 44-d. per lb. for duty, and you
arrive at the cost of the great bulk of Tea that is con-
sumed in this country. . .

We are prepared io supply these qualities at Twopence
per lb. profit on the cost, for READY MONEY, in ori-
ginal Packages. The overweight, which is generally from
3 to 41bs. is illowed ; but we always guarantee 2lbs.over-
weight, which reduces the price of the Tea about 2d.
per lb. Where an original Chest is too much for one Fa-
mily, we suggest that several join together and divide it;
and for their convenience we shall weigh it up in parcels,
as the parties may require it.
TO FAMILIES. _ _

There are many not disposed to purchase TEAS in the
above manner; we therefore quote the following List of
Prices for their guidance, viz. ;
Common Congou
Inferior
Good ordinary Congou, Strong 3 8 0 0
STRONG Black Leaf Ditto,(dou-
chow flavour,) . .
Fine Pekoe-flavoured Congou 4 6 0 0
Middling Souchong
FINE Souchong
Scented Orange Pekoe....
kind that is called under another name, " Ilowauw's
MIXTURE," and sold at much higher prices, in packets,
by agents.
Orders from the Country, amounting to forty shillings
and upwards, will be delivered carriage free, if accompa-
nied with a remittance or respectable reference. It must
be obvious that our system of selling at small profits will
neither admit of RISK OR CREDIT, therefore, when refer-
ences are given, it is requested no unnecessary delay will
take place in remitting the money.
Having plainly laid the Prices before you, we respect-
fully solicit patronage: the result, we have no doubt will
promote mutual confidence.
We are,
Your obedient Servants.

monachism, and to give us a " shorthand" view of its
origin, progress, nature, and tendency!' Tile very fact
that be himself was, for a long period, a part and parcel
of much that he relates, gives an interest to this little
volume not to be expected in a production written by a
person educated in an opposite creed. We have read it
under this impression, and examined it with correspond-
ing attention. We trust thit i, may tall into the hands
of many Protestants, who are either ignorant of the sys-:
tem it denounces, or unwilling to allow that Popery, under
its different phases, is so bad as it is represented. Study-
ing this as a kind of elementary work, they may he led
to drink deeper. and to study more attentively, the history
of papal doctrines and papal ambition, until at last the
nakedness of the land will appear, and the true character
of Rornanism, now so ra,npant and aspiring, w 11 become
developed. We might give scnie interesting extracts,
characteristic of the unscriptural and antiscriptural dog-
mas of monachism, but our limits will not permit us.
The work itself is worthy of a perusal, and we hope that
it will be favourably received by all, who, on the one
hand, love the truth, and tire valiant for the trirli ; and,
on the other hand, are anxious to see a fair exposure of a
system, which labours incessantly to neutralize tI e re-
vealed word of God, and to substitute in its place the
doctrines and commandments of fallible man.
