WOOLTON FLORAL HORTICULTURAL AND AGRICUL-
TURAL EXHIBITION.—This meeting, the second and last
of the season, took place on Thursday last, and was well
attended. There was a brisk competition, especially for
stove and greenhouse plants, of which some splendid spe-
cimens were exhibited. The fineness of the weather
caused a numerous and fashionable attendance.
PROSPEROUS TOWNSHIP.—There is not a single case
of pauperism in the township of Childwall, and the sur-
geon's salary last year did not exceed thirty shillings. A
warrant was applied for, at the last Board of Guardians
held at West Derby Workhouse, for a person deserting
his wife, which was the first case of the kind brought be-
fore the board, for that place, during the last two years.
WHEN A MAN IS DRUNK !—On Wednesday a coarse-
looking Irishman was brought up at the Police-court,
charged with being drunk and forcing his way into a
penny show without paying. On the prisoner hearing
the charge, he indignantly denied the statement, and said,
I was not drunk, for I do not consider a man drunk tiil
he is deprived of the senses which God gave him." Mr.
Rushton said in reply, " I fear we do not agree in the
definition of a man when he is drunk. You must pay ss.
and costs."

ABSENCE OF MIND.—A butcher of Garstang, on re-
turning last Tuesday from Hornby fair, seems to have
got so be-mused on his journey as to mistake his pony
for a fine Scots' heifer, and be accordingly led it to the
slaughter-house, knocked it down in a business-like man-
ner, stuck it in due form, and began skinning it; nor
would he then have discovered his mistake had not some
neighbours, in passing, perceived what he was about, and
caused him, by force as well as by entreaty, to desist from
his wild adventure.—Preston Chronicle.
MR. ROWLINSON'S LECTURES AT TUE LORD
NELSON-STREET ASSEMBLY ROOMS. —We observe
that this gentleman, with whose lectures on music and
song, with the illustrations given by him, the public were
so highly gratified on the occasion of his first appearance
at these concerts, will next Saturday give a similar treat.
Mr. Rowlinson is more than an every day lecturer upon
the subject which he has undertaken to handle ; and
moreover a chaste and correct singer. The lovers of song
may therefore rely confidently upon receiving both grati-
fication and instruction from his lecture.

DISMISSAL OF A POLICEMAN.—On Saturday, Police-
officer Wade, No. 220, was brought before Mr. Rushton
on a charge of having committed an assault upon his su-
perior officer, Acting-Inspector Yates. It appeared that
the prisoner, who had been in the force six years, went to
lodge some time since at the house of a man named Mor-
gan. The female who lived with him he continued to re-
present to be his wife until a day or two ago, when he
brought in another woman, and said that she, and not
the other female, was, in reality, his better half. Mor-
gan, in a fit of rage at his impudence and immorality,
threw him and the two women into the street, and there
the prisoner, who was in liquor at the time, assaulted
Yates on the latter making his appearance to quell the
affray. iklr. Rushton ordered him to pay a fine of £5 for

the assault, and to be dismissed the force for his gross
impropriety of conduct, as manifested by his cohabiting
with a female during the life-time of his wife.

MODEL OF .JERUSALEM.—We have rarely been more
gratified than by a view of this model, now exhibited at
No. 100, Bold-street, accompanied, as it is, by the lucid
description of the various interesting scenes pourtrayed
upon it ; which is given by Mr. Dumatti, the gentleman
entrusted with its exhibition. As a work of art it is in-
ferior to no similar one which we have seen ; and, when its
sacred character is taken into consideration, it challenges
eminently the notice of all interested in the history of
those events of which .Ternealcin was the ordained scene.
Illustrative, as it ,e life and suffering of the Sa-
viour of mankind, it ought to be inspected by every reader
of his bible, as calculated to verify and explain many
passages in scripture, otherwise not clearly intelligible .
and, as well, to fortify the history of the events handed
down to us by scripture, by the evidence of cotemporary
writers.

CHINESE BRICKS.—We noticed some time since the
arrival of a cargo of bricks from China, and commented
on the singularity of the importation, and of the evidently
advancing state of commercial enterprise and speculation
when such a description of article of merchandize should
be brought to this country from so unusual a quarter and
so great a distance. We find that a parcel of bricks
which had been imported into the port of Liverpool by a
vessel called the Annie, from Shanghae (China), which
were originally reported by the master of the vessel as be-
ing for exportation, are to be landed. The parcel com-
prises the large number of 15,000, and bears good our
former remarks on the subject with respect to the impor-
tation of bricks from China for actual use in this country
for the general purposes to which they are applied. The
importations which now take place from foreign, anti fre-
quently from distant parts of the world, are so varied and
remarkable as continually to call for especial notice, and
it is their frequency alone, and the manner in which the
enterprising spirit of the age prepares the public mind
for volution which has taken place in com-
