verpool back to Lancaster! Every body must na.

ly imagine that the arrangement, made a few
years back, by which the assize business of the
southern division of the county is transacted at Li-

00l was one likely to conduce greatly to the ad-

vantage and convenience of the entire community
affected by it, and to promote the cheap and speedy
administration of justice. At the time when this

arrangement was made, the people of Manchester
were as sanguine, with respect to its benefits, as
the people of this town. But a change came
over the temper and spirits of our neighbours.
Easily approachable as was Liverpool, by railways,
from all parts of the county, it was contended that

- -- ---
Manchester ought to have assizes of her own ; that
it was beneath the dignity of her attorneys, wit-
nesses, policemen, and other frequenters of courts of
law, to have to travel to Liverpool, and remain, pos-
sibly a week or two, out of the hearing of anti-corn
law agitation, and thwirmth and luxury, (to them),
of an atmosphere onningled smoke and steam.
Fussy lawyers and local patriots were indignant at
the thought that for any thing—even a sentence of
transportation or the treadmill—the town of Man-
chester should be dependent upon Liverpool; and
the issue of months of this kind of vapouring was
an unsuccessful application to her Majesty in coun-
cil, to permit the causes and prisoners from the
hundred of Salford to be tried at the New Bailey
Court-house.

This application having been met with a negative
—for the very obvious reason, amongst others, that
a large manufacturing town, the centre of a large
and excitable manufacturing population, is not the
most convenient place for the due administration
of justice--we concluded that the question was set
at rest ; and, in the best spirit, the authorities of our
town set about the providing of the best arrange-
ments in their power, for promoting the comfort and
convenience of their Manchester friends. The cause
list was divided, and precedence given to causes
from the hundred of Salford. Every other practical
facility was offered, and, with a liberality not,
it would appear, sufficiently estimated, we sat
about the construction of the magnificent building
now erecting, on the site of the Old Infirmary, for
law courts. We were wrong, however, it appears,

50 tons each, which fell into the water again, upside down,
and of course sank, with the poor sailors on board, 15 of
whom were drowned. It then proceeded in a north-west
direction, unroofing houses, carrying off timber trees,
and even rocks of great weight. This morning, two poor
fellows, sailors. who belonged to one of the vessels, were
found dead about a league from Carthagena, having been
carried off and dropped by the whirlwind. On the moll;
were thrown huge stones, houses were demolished, and

A FLEET MARRIAGE

Lady C. was a beautiful woman, but Lady C. was an
extravagant woman. She was still single, though rather
past extreme youth. Like most pretty females, she had
looked too high, had estimated her loveliness too dearly,
but now she refused to believe she was not as charming
as ever. So no wonder she remained unmarried. Lady
C. had about five thousand pounds in the world. She
owed about forty thousand pounds; so, with all her wit
and beauty, she got into the Fleet, and was likely to re-
main there.

Now, in the time I speak of, every lady had her head
dressed by a barber ; and the barber in the Fleet was the
handsomest barber in the city of London. Pat Philan
was a great admirer of the fair sex ; and where's the won-
der ? Sure Pat was an Irishman. It was one very fine
morning, when Philan was dressing her captivating head,
that her ladyship took it into her mind to talk to him ; and
Pat was well pleased, for Lady C.'s teeth were the whitest,
and her smile the brightest, in all the world.
" So you're not married, Pat ?" says he.
" Divil on inch I your honour's ladyship," says he.
" And wouldn't ye like to be married ?" again asks she.
" Would a duck swim ?"
" Is there any one you'd prefer ?"
" May be, madam," says he, " you niver heard of
Kathleen O'Reilly, down beyant Doneraile ? Her father
is cousin to O'Donaghew, who's own steward to Mr.
Murphy, the under-agent to my Lord Kingstown, and—"
" Hush !" says she ; sure I don't want to know who
she is. But would she have you if you asked her ?"

thalie Fitzjames was an example of this; she invented a
new method, de se learner, el se casser, at one and the
same time.

" Perhaps you are aware that the art of dancing is di-
vided into branches—en Ballonne and en Tacquete. The
Ballonne is the school of Taglioni ; it is lightness com-
bined with grace—the dance which seems to delight and
float on the river.

" The Tacquete is vivacity and rapidity ; 'tis the little
sparkling steps and measures on the point of the feet; in
a word, it is what Fanny Bias was. snit wb,,t

" You are aware that a similar profession cannot be
exercised with impunity. From the multitude of simu-
lated dangers the dancer accustoms herself to real ones,
as the soldier in war times accustoms himself to pillage.

her life every time she executes it ; the nial-adresse of a
moment in shifting the trap-door, and Carlotta would
dash her brains out against the plank. There is a certain
Englishman who never misses a performance of the ballet ;
he is persuaded that it will prove fatal to Carlotta, and
would not for the world be absent on that night. This is
the same Englishman who followed Van Ambnrgh for
three years, ever believing that the moment would arrive
when the wild beasts would sup on their master."

AND BALL

THE TEA PARTY

Nothing which we ever witnessed equalled in extent,
magnificence, and interest the scene presented in the
Grand Ball Room in the evening. It was brilliantly
lighted with gas, and large coloured railway lamps were
skilfully disposed amongst the TREES and festoons of
evergreens that embowered the immense apartment from
end to end. The tea-tables were cost amply provided by
Mr. Ryles, of this town, for the accommodation of 1200.
Large japanned urns were placed upon them ' • and there
was abundance of bunloaf, cakes, &c. &c. Negus was
also plentifully served. The table scarcely occupied half
of the room, the remaining space—of itself of an amazing
extent—being left for the dance and promenade. There
was a glorious concourse of " honest men and bonny
lasses ; ' and many of the farmers and villagers brought
with them their little ones, who enjoyed themselves to the
top of their bent. The band meantime played a number
of choice pieces. Although there might be at times up-
wards of 1,500 persons present, there was ample space
for all without jostling, throughout the whole evening.
Several of the Directors and their families, and many dis-
tinguished strangers, mingled amongst the throng •, and
it was truly delightful to see young and old, rich and
poor, the country dame and the blushing maiden—the
latter all neatly dressed in their best apparel—perambu-
lating together in groups, and passing the kindly compli-
ment or joke. It was an exhibition of true old English
hospitable feeling between master and man, and friend
and neighbour, which Crewe, though yet in its infancy,
has had the honour of reviving, and we sincerely hope the
example will be followed elsewhere. If such were our
impressions before the tea had concluded, what, it may be
conceived, were our feelings when the band filled the huge
apartment with the lively tones of their instruments, and
the gentry present, and even the senior Directors joined
their humbler dependents in the mazy dance ! It was, in
truth, a gorgeous spectacle ; the young women—of whom
there were large numbers—looked charming, and tripped
admirably in country dances and quadrilles. All appeared
to be delighted, and the whole fete will be long remem-
bered, and doubtless stand recorded as one of the first
remarkable events in the annals of the "juvenile city of
Crewe."

The company were highly delighted with the perform-
ance on the Highland bagpipes towards the close, who
finished off the ball with " The Campbells are coming,"
and played in front of the assemblage when they retired.

DOCK DUES AT RUNCORN

The number of vessels which entered i;e port of Run-
corn during the last month was 170, tonnage 8941; dues
£4O 3s. 4d., being an increase on the corresponding month
last year of £6 16s. 7d.
SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON THE DOCK PLANS.
Mr. HORSFALL proposed the following members to
constitute this committee :—The:Chairman, Mr. Nichol,
Mr. Shand, Mr. Evans, Mr. Aikin, Mr. Holt, Mr. Bold,
Mr. Ripley, and Mr. Middleton. It was then arranged
that, as the chairman was ex officio a member of all sub-
committees, his name had better be omitted, and that of
Mr. Horsfall substituted.
Mr. RIPLEY asked whether the council could compel
this committee to report before the 31st of December.
Mr. Nicol, said they could.

Mr. HORSPALL said he very much doubted it.
Mr. NicoL : I think Mr. Tobin ought to be on the
committee, and I move that his name be put on the com-
mittee in place of mine.

The motion not being seconded,
Mr. IslicoL said he was so anxious that Mr. Tobin
should be on the committee' that, without meaning the
slightest offence, he should propose Mr. Tobin's name

NEW SOUTH WALES

Papers from Sydney, with very interesting intelligence,
came to hand late on Thursday ; and are about one
month later in date than those previously received, being
to the 30th of July. The attention of the colonists had
been turned to some recent experiments to the manufac-
ture of tallow, and the excess of stock would, it is stated.

Philip and South Australia the trial had been
made with equal succes;, and high hopes are entertained
profits of these new branches of business.

The return of the quarter's revenue was discouraging,
a considerable falling off having occurred in the principal

items of receipt

It was strongly suspected that the de-
cline of revenue from spirits and tobacco was in no small
degree owing to the increase of smuggling. The land
fund showed a melancholy appearance. The whole
amount received in the quarter for country lands and
town allotments sold was the beggarly amount of £666,
or nearly 30 per cent. below the proceeds of the corres-
ponding quarter of last year. The decrease in the fees
on title deeds was 304- per cent., whilst the demand for
licenses to occupy crown lands had so rapidly fallen of
that their produce was less than last year by the very
large proportion of ill per cent. Local politics were not
very interesting. A contest was expected for the speaker-

rica," said a distinguished statesman, (Lord Grenville,)
they stood fixed in silent admiration, gazing on the vast
expanse of the Southern ocean which lay stretched before
them in boundless prospect. They adored—even those
hardened and sanguinary adventurers adored—the gra-
cious providence of Heaven, which, after a lapse of so
many centuries, had opened to mankind so wonderful a
field of untried and unimagined enterprise." The very
same point of land where, in 1515, the Spaniards first be-
held the Pacific, is the spot formed by nature for the
realization of those advantages which their cautious po-
licy caused them to overlook. Ihe Creator seems to have
intended it for general use—as the highway of nations ;
and yet, after a period of more than three centuries,
scarcely has the solitude which envelopes this interesting
strip of land- been broken.—" Commerciat Intercourse
