EGREMO'tT CHURCH.—This beautiful edifice will be conse-
crated on Thursday the Right Reverend Diocesan the Lord
Bishop of Chester. The service will commence at One o'clock.
Hoy LAKE CHURCH,--Thia church, which has. lately been
erected-bysubscription; will be consecrated on Friday next, the
Ist November. The service will commence at eleven o'clock
in the moruing, and a sermon will be preached oaths occasion
'by the Lord Bishop of Chester.
On Friday last the children of the Blue Coat Hospital, both
boys and girls, in the early part of the day, were admitted, for
the second time this season, by the public-spirited proprietor of
the Zoological Gardens, to a view of his interesting collection
of animatsabirds, &c. The amusement -the juvenile visitants
derived from what, to them; must prove an unexpected kind-
ness in Mr. Atkins, was greatly increased by the favourableness
of the weather. 'l' he children appeared, by their good conduct
and cheerful countenances, to afford the same delight to Mr.
Atkins which they experienced from his generosity; for he
evinced his satisfaction in witnessing parties of'them- anxiously
inviting others to .aceompany and participate in the pleasure
they had derived. from a recent discovery. of some. strange and
surprising animal, or of the beauty acid symmetry of others.
In addition to this indulgence, Mr. Atkins presented each of
them with a bun. After enjoying themselves nearly the whole
of the morning, they paraded the 'gardens with their band of
music, and being all assembled upon. a rising ground, expressed
their thanks to Mr. Atkins in three joyous cheers.
On Sunday a sermon was preached at St. Nicholas' Church,
by the Rev. Mr. Wray, in aid of the funds of the Blue Coat
School. At the conclusion of the sermon a collection was
made, which from the,number and respectability of the congre-
gation, we have every reason to believe. was a good. one. On
this occasion the common practice _of dispensing with the ser-
vices of the choir belonging to the church was adopted, and a
portion of the childrenwas 'selected to do their duty; which
we must say is " a practice more honaured in the breach than
the observance." We are disposed to iegard the choral part of
our church service, when properly conducted, as one of great
importance, because,
the simple, anch,at the same time, sub-
lime melody of some of our sacred music is admirably calcu-
lated to inspire a devotionalleeling, and recal the minds of the
listless to the object for. which they are assembled. The feeble
and in a great degree, the untutored voices of a few children is
unequal to the task of leading a congregation, but, had they
been introduced in aid of. the choir, a good effect would have
been produced. If- charity stands in need of any artificial
stimulants, then then-fest potent should be resorted to:
PAT OUTWITTED PaTeicis.—Yesterday two specimens
"of the finest pisantry upon.earth," one named Pat Daly, and
the other Patrick pagan, appeared at the Mayor's Court, Tat
in the-witness box, and Patrick in the dock, the latter charged
by the former witk, having robbed him of eight sovereigns.
,From the evidelice of Pat, it- appeared' that he and Patrick
were "sworn friends" before the matter happened, and having
come-on Tuesday last te,Liverpool together, they were anxious
to bed and board in the same house, and, accordingly, on that
day they went on the discovery of suitable lodgings. In the
course of their peregrination, Patrick said to Pat, "Sure,' man,
ye'd.better be after hiding the eight sovereigns, as we don't
know the company we may get into." " Faith, you're a broth
of a boy for thinking 'of the main thing," replied Pat, "but
I've no needle to sew them up in the back of my waistcoat."
"But I have," rejoined the other, and kindly undertook the
task, which, the complainant said, he tolerated hug to do, and
was much obliged for the favour. After performing the kind
office for his friend, 'Patrick was suddenly missing, having
wheeled round a corner. Pat was at first afraid that his coun-
tryman would be lust in .the wilds of Liverpool, and, in conse-
quence, was in great perturbation for his fate, until, at length,
he fancied that the sovereigns in the back of his waistcoat felt
light, and he was induced to overhaul the stitches, when, to his
consternation, he discovered that his faithless friend had "rung
the changes,". and deposited eight shillings instead of eight
sovereigns in the waistcoat; he accordingly ran to the police
and informed them of the treachery, and Patrick was appre-
hended on Saturday, and accommodated with lodgings in
Bridewell. The case was proved, and Patrick committed.
BURGLARIES.—On Sunday night, or early on Monday morn-
ing, sonic thieves broke into the warehouse of Messrs. Parker
and Ashton, situate at the bottom of Water-street. Fortunately
nothing of value was left upon the premises, and all their booty
was the bill-book,. which was carried off. It is supposed that
some persons must have secreted themselves within the pre-
mises during business hours, as there were no marks of violence
outside.—AbCut the same time, the warehouse of Messrs.
Whittaker and Miller, of Rumford-street, were entered by a
hole through • the wall in a court
.adjoining. The villains were
equally as disappointed in finding booty as those in the.first
burglary, nothing being left in the way worth taking. The iron
safe bore marks of violence, but it resisted the villains' efforts.
This warehouse was entered about twelve months ago, but
nothing of value.was stolen ; however, the parties were appre-
hended, and two of them transported, and three others escaped
from Kirkdale gaol.
IMPUDENT ROBBERy.—Edward Fletcher, one of the nume-
rous class of low gamblers who prey upon the unwary, heedless
whether they praenre a livelihood by cheating or thieving, was
brought berm.° Mr. Alderman Horsfall, on Saturday, charged,
by a man named John Gilbertson, of Norfolk-street, with rob-
bing him of one sovereign, under the following circumstances:
—1 he complainant stated that, on Tuesday night last, about
ten o'clock, he was standing in Williamson-square, when a man
came up to him in the dress of a butcher, and inquired of the
complainant where he came from. On being answered
from Liverpool, the butcher said that he came from Man-
chester, and was anxious to have a glass of ale, and the
complainant was also induced to have one, and they went toge-
ther into a public-house, kept by a man named Summerfield,
in Murray-street. When they got into the public-house, they
met the prisoner, who pretended to be unacquainted With the
butcher. The prisoner pulled out a pocket-book full of what
appeared to be notes. and began to talk of an old uncle who
had left him a considerable sum of money. He said that he
was going to Lord Grosvenor's with a pair of greyhounds,
which had.been tied up in a stable, but some person hail cut the
strap and let one go, but that he had bought a chain and a
patent lock, which no one could open but himself and the maker,
to the latter of whom he had given a bottle of wine to show hint
how to open it.- -Several other 'persons came in, and the pri-
soner gave the lock to examine, after which he went out of the
room, saving, that he would be hack shortly. One of the men
then said that he was a whitesmith, and could open it directly,
which he did. Complainant then, tried but. could not, when the
man showed him the spring, and he then opened it. The•pai-
soner afterwards -came in, and complainant offered to bet him
sixpence that he could open it, and the prisoner said that he
dare lay £l5 that he could-not. Complainant said that he had
not so much money as that, when the butcher requested him to
lay- what he bad, and that he (the butcher) would go £5 with
him. Complainant then put dawn a sovereign and six half-
crowns to bet, and the butcher pulled out what appeared to be
a £5 country note, and handed it over, together with the sove-
reign, to some man, as stakeholder. Complainant was to open
it whilst the prisoner rubbed fifty chalks off the.table; but com-
plainant perceiving the prisoner rub them off too quick, cried
out that he would not stand that, upon which the prisoner
snatched the lock out of his hand, and the money which he (the
prisoner) had put, down to meet the stake. The butcher then
returned complainant the six half-crowns, and a coin which
he took to be a sovereign. All the gang then went away, and
complainant subsequently discovered that, instead of a sove-
reign, they had returned him a gilt farthing. Complainant saw
no more Of any of them; but, in going to Williamson-square
the following night, be saw the prisoner, who ran away; he
was pursued by the watchman, and apprehended. Benjamin
Summerfield, the keeper of the public-house in Murray-street,
identified the prisoner as being the man alluded to by the com-
plainant, and he was committed for trial.
PREMATURE BIETH, AND INHUMAN TREATMENT OF THE
isloTrian.-;-On Sunday evening, between the hours of five and
six o'clock, as a poor woman, named Anne Carttnan, accompa-
nied by her husband and two children, was on her way from
Warrington to Liverpool, she was suddenly taken with the
pains of labour, near a place called Knotty Ash Gate. The
pour creature was assisted by her husband in getting to a small
grass-plot on the roadside, where she was delivered of two tine
children. Application-Was made at several of the cottages in the
neighbourhood for permission for the poor woman to rest her-
self until the parochial authorities of West Derby were made
acqUainted with her peculiar and distressed situation, but the
unfeeling inhabitants, not possessing theanilk of human kind-
ness, nor, in the slightest degree, that compassion and charity
which is so characteristic of the British peasantry generally,
refused the mother and her babes the shelter of their humble
firesides. A good Samaritan, however, in the person of the
landlady of a public-house near the windmill, commiserating
the woman's situation,! admitted her into her house, arid ad-
ministered to her every comfort which her condition required.
Information being given to the overseers of 'West Derby, in
which parish the children were born, they placed the mother and
children in a jolting car, and despatched them to .Low-hill
Workhouse, where, however, they refused, to give them admis-
sicu, and in this pitiable plight the wretched mother and family
were sent.to the Liverpool Workhouse, bearing a note to Mr.
Shipp the ,governor, stating that there was no room in Low-hill
Workhouse. - Mr. Shipp, although indignant at the treatment
they had experienced at Low-hill, immediately procured the ile-
ces'sary medical aid, and under the kind superintendence of
Mrs. Shipp, the governess, who administered cordials and other
necessary comforts,: both the ,mother and twins are doing well.
The feet of the woman and her two elder children were must.
frightfally awollenaand•blistered from the effects of walking. '
Isurnai PER ANCU,:—OIIt of 89 cases which came before the sit-
ting magistrates in the Mayor's Court. yesterday, there were no
less than 62 charged with being fouud.diaink in the streets, and
fined As.. each.
DEATH nv DROWNING.—On Saturday night last, about ten
o'clock, a boy named Themas M•Cletchie, about fifteen years of
age, who was rowing towards the 'ship Cassandre, of Port
Glasgow, which was lying in the Brunswick Dock, unfortu-
nately fell overboard. Grappling-irons were procured, but it
was three-quarters. of an hoer before he was brought to• the stir-
face of the water, when he was -discovered to be •quite'dead.
Yesterday, an inquest was held upon the body, and a verdict of
accidental death returned.
Cutan atniarrsro 'DEA-lat.—Yesterday, an inquest was held
touching the death of Margaret Morris, hu infant fifteen months
old. It appeared from the evidence, that the mother of the
child, who lives in Cavendish-street, incautiously left it, to-.
get her with four other children, in the house, ..where there wasa
forge fire, whilst she 'went shOpping. The door cf the house
was locked, hut a young man who was passing at the time
happened to discover the situation of the deceased, and burst
open the door in order to deliver it from the devouring element;
lies praiseworthy efforts were too late, as the child expired a
few hours afterwards. Verdict, accidental death.
DEATH FROM TILE KICK OF A HORSE.—On Friday last, an
inquisition was taken on view of the body of William Donella,
who met with his death by a kick from a horse. It appears
that the deceased was employed by Mr. Sineatham, in Hackens-
hay, to superintend' the cleaning of horses • and that, on Tues-
day evening last, about eight o'clock,. the horses;
was clean-
ing one of the-horses, when the animal lifted up its hind leg
and•kicked him severely in the stomach. He immediately put
his hand to his stomach and cried, " Oh, Lord !--I shall surely
die! Let me go into the house !" The deceased was conveyed
to the Infirmary, and he died between six and seven o'clock
the same evening. Verdict, accidental death,
COUNTING-HOUSE RoneEntEs.— On Sunday night, about
nine o'clock, the watchman in Rumford-street discovered that
the counting-house of Messrs. Whitaker, Rathbone and Ca.
had been broken open, and, on entering, it was further disco-
vered that the thieves had also
.made their way into those of
Messrs. Barclay, and Messrs. Poole and Co. It appears that
the thieves had, on Saturday night, concealed themselves in a
yard between the warehouses in Rumford-street and those in
Covent-garden, and, that, during the silence of Sunday, they
contrived to get into Messrs. Barclays' counting-house;bv cut-
ting some glass out of a back window, and from thence round
their way, by a staircase. to that of Messrs. Whitaker and Co.;
they afterwards got, into Messrs. Ponies, in Coventgarden, and
in each of these offices they forced open the drawers, safes, &c.
Fortunately the only booty they found was about two pounds,
in Mr. Barclay's private drawer, all the cash having been,
very properly, removed from all the counting-houses to places
of greater safety. Considering the immense value of the pro-
perty generally deposited in the great range of warehouses in
this neighbourhood, we would suggest the propriety of having
this district patrolled on Sundays,. and of placing the watch on
1 duty at an earlier flour every evening. •

LIVERPOOL MICHAELMAS SESSIONS.—S AxunDA Y.

AN OBSTINATE. JuitY..--0n Friday evening last, the jury at
the sessions, being unable to decide upon the merits of a case
before them in the box, retired at eight o'clock, under the care
Of an officer, to a private apartment, where they remained dis-
cussing the matter without food, fire, or candle, until half-past
eleven o'clock the following day, when no decision being conic
to, the parties concerned agreed to withdraw a juror, each
party to pay their own costs. The question at issue which ap.
peered so much to puzzle the brains of some of the jurors was,
whether a person who had verbally guaranteed the payment of
a debt, was bound in law to do so, not having given a written
document to that effect. The learned recorder, however, before
they retired, explained to them that it was necessary, in order
by law to recover a debt due under such circumstances, that the
person guaranteed should have the undertaking in writing.
'1 he facts of the case were these—John Langan, the defendant,
had contracted with a person, named Kiernan, for the latter to
do him some stucco work; Kiernan being short of the mate-
rials for the task, went to the plaintiff, Roberts, and at different
times purchased cement upon credit. The plaintiff knowing
little of Kiernan, hesitated whether or not he should furnish
him with more on credit-; but being aware for whom he was per-
forming the work, went to Langan, and asked hint if Kiernan
was worthy of credit, when Langan replied that be was, and,
in an off-h-and manner, said that-he would guarantee him for a
hundred pounds. The plaintiff, satisfied with the defendant's
word, credited Kiernan PO, which he, neglecting to pay, the
action was brought to recover that sum from Langan, and the
matter terminated as above stated, much to the discomfort Of
Mr. Ellis, the'clerk, and the officers of the court, who were'comti
pelled to sit up thirteen hours, waiting to receive the verdict.
BIGAMY.—George Broadinan, a respectable looking young
man, was indicted for having, on the 16th day of June last, felo-
niously and unlawfully married Emilia Green, his former wife,
Anne Foley Derbyshire, being then alive. This was the first
case of bigamy tried in this county, except at the assizes, and
consequently excited a considerabte degree of interest. Mr. Hall
stated the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Venahles appeared
for the defence.

James Oliver, an acquaintance of the prisoner's, stated that
he had known him about six years ; and that in February,
1829, he was present at the marriage of the prisoner to Anne
Foley Derbyshire—the ceremony was performed at St. Phil-
lip's church. His first wife is still living, and witness saw her
about a fortnight ago. Cross-examined by Mr. Venables—
Knew the name of the woman to be Anne Foley Derbyshire ;
she was between 18 and 19 years of age when married; does
not know how long'St. Phillip's church has been built, or whe-
ther it is usual to solemnize marriages there.
Emma Green, the second wife, who appeared deeply affected,.
and with some difficulty was supported to give evidence, de-
posed that she had been married to the prisoner about ten
months, at the Old Church, in Liverpool. About three weeks
before the prisoner was taken up'witness accused him of being a
widower,. which he denied: she then expressed to him her fears
that he had a wife living, which he aticngthacknowiedeed,, and
said that if she in consequence refused tolive with him, he would
destroy himself. 'Witness did not leave him, and the prisoner
afterwards attempted to commit suicide by hanging hiMsell,
but was cut down in time to save his life. She had no fortune,
and the prisoner during the time he had lived with her had be-
haved towards her with the greatest kindness. She had known
him 12 months before marriage, and never during that time

had heard of another wife. •
John Hartley, an officer of police, produced examined copies
of .the registers of both .marriages at St. Phillip's and St.
Nicholas's, and had compared them with the entry in the clerk's
books, and found them to correspond, Mr. Venables in behalf
of the prisoner, argued that there was no evidence to show that
marriages could be legally solemnized in St. Phillip's church,
for although it was a place of worship consecrated by the bishop,
being no parish church, it was necessary to solemnize a mar-
riage to have a special license from the lord bishop of Canter-
bury. St. Phillip's church was a modern building; there might
be an Act of Parliament for it, but such had not been given in
evidence.

Mr. Hall cited a clause from the Marriage Act of 6th Ge 0.4.,
where a provision was made to remedy the evil, tendering mar-
riages under such circumstances as valid in law as though
solemnized in any parish church in England or Wales. Mr.
Forster, the town derk, intimated that he had the Act of Par-

liament for St. Philip's church, and Mr. Venables gave up the
point. The prisoner declined saying anything in his defence.
The Recorder, in summing up, said that in cases of bigamy
where there's as a witness present at the marriage, it was quite
unnecessary to produce the certificates in evidence for proof.
He alluded to the evidence of the young woman Green, who
had stated that the prisoner had behaved well to her, and re-
marked that he entertained a different opinion, for he thought
that nothing could he inure cruel to a young woman than to
gain her affections and marry her, having a wife living; for
independent of her misery, it' there were children by the con-
nection, they were all illegitimate. The jury found the prisoner
Guilty? and the mother of the first wife came forward and gave
the prisoner an excellent character; she said that he had an
aged father to support, and had always allowed a suitable main-
tenance t 8 his first wife. Emma Green also begged the mercy
of the court on the prisoner's behalf. The recorder ordered
him to be taken down and again brought up on Monday to re-
ceive sentence. .

SINGULAR CASE.—John Walden, aged 41, a swartfiY native
of Canada, stood indicted for stealing thirty-four doubloons
Mexican, and one Napoleon, the property of Auguste Pafand.
From the evidence of the prosecutor, a diminutive French-
man, given through an interpreter, it appeared that he arrived
in Liverpool, from New Orleans, on the 3d or 4th of Septem-
ber last, and the day after he arrived, on going to the docks to
see the vessel which brought him to Liverpool, he met the pri-
soner at the bar, who tapped him on the shoulder, and said,
"Ah ! Monsieur Pafand, is that you ?" The prosecutor said
that he did not recollect having ever seen him before, but pri-
soner replied that he knew him very well, that he had seen him
in the billiard-rooms at New Orleans. The prisoner then be-
gan to relate the hardships he had undergone since he last saw
prosecutor, that he had recently been working in a Scotch ves-
sel, but his money was all gone; and he had nothing to eat,
Upon this the prosecutor gave him a dollar, and said that he
would keep him until he got some employment. Prosecutor
after this took lodgings at a public-house in Cable-street, and
being an invalid, he desired the landlady to make the prisoner
a bed at one end of his bed-room, so that he would be at hand
in the night if he should be wanted. 'Prosecutor had a belt
which he always wore round his person, which contained, be-
sides the doubloons, some broken gold, a diamond ring, some
bills of exchange, and a gold freemason's medal. On the Sun-
day, the 12th of September, the prosecutor imagined himself,
seriously ill, and he took off his belt containing the valuableS
alluded to, and gave it to the prisoner, saying, "Take care of this,
and if I die give it to my brother in France, who will reward_
you for yOur trouble." Prosecutor lost all recollection after-
wards, but was given to understand that he had cut his own
throat in a state of delirium caused by the fever. He was taken
to the hospital, and shortly recovered his senses, when he en-
quired of the prisoner what he had done with the belt, who
replied, that the police-officers who had taken possession of his
property, and sealed up his boxes, had it iu safe custody. The
prisoner did not come near him afterwards, and he saw no more
of the belt nor the money until it was in the hands of the po-
lice. The belt was here produced, and the prosecutor identi-
fied it, and the contents.
Mr. John Taylor, surgeon, of Sedon-street, deposed, that on
Sunday, the Bth of September, he was called to Mrs. Kenny's,
who keeps a public-house in Cable-street. He was informed
that a gentleman had cut his throat in a state of frenzy. On
goinginto the bed-room he found the prosecutor kneeling on
the floor with his throat cut; the prisoner was standing over
him with a handkerchief stopping the blood. The prosecutor
was conveyed to the Lunatic Asylum. The prisoner, on the
same day, came to witness and complained of being very ill,
and wished a prescription to be made up for him, which was
done, when the prisoner complained of being very poor, and
hoped that witness would not charge him much, and he only
charged him a shilling.
Elizabeth Kenny, -the woman with whom the prosecutor
lodged in Cable-street, after corroborating •the testimony of M.
Pafand, as regarded the prisoner lodging in the same room
with prosecutor, stated that, ou the Bth September, the prisoner
took some broth UR to Mr. Pafand's bed-room, and found the

door closed; he called out to witness that he could not get in.
Witness then went up stairs, and pressed her knee to the door,
which forced it open, and there found the prosecutor with his
throat cut, on the floor, and a razor before him. She sent fur
a constable, who took possession of the prosecutor's property,
and sealed it up. Witness did not see any thing of a belt at
that tine; but last Tuesday morning, since the prisoner had
been taken up, she had' found the -prosecutor's belt amongst
some rubbish in her house.
Mar), Langan, who keeps an eating-house, near Clayton-
square, deposed to prisoner coming into her house on the 10th
of September. Re and a friend of. his dined together, and the
prisoner gave her a.doubloon in payment,
_and desired that she
would get it changed against the time he came again. He also
gave her a pocket-book, containing eleven doubloons, to take
care -of- for Imo. Witness got the doubloon changed at Mr.
Franklin's bullion-office, and received £3 3s. for it. Prisoner
on her giving him the change made her a present of the 3s.
The pocket-book alluded to by the last witness was produced
and identified as the property of Mr. Maud.
Mary Wright; the keeper of a public-house at the Old Dock,
deposed that the prisoner on the 11th of September came.to her
house and called for some punch, which he drank, and gave a
doubloon for payment, which he left without taking his change.
She informed the constable of the circumstance, and he'desired
her if he came again not to give him the change. but to send for
him; he carte and witness sent for Hazlchurst; the con-
table, when tire prisoner denied having given the doubloon.
ilailehnt, the officer, spoke to his having gone to, the prose-
ctitpr's lodgings, and assisted in conveying him to the Lunatic
Asylum, sealed up his boxes in which was a bar of gold and a
bar of silver, but no belt. He and the prisoner and prOsecutor
talked together on the way to the Asylum, and he asked the pri-
soner what Was said, who replied that the prosecutor was asking
about his property, and that he, the prisoner, had informed him
that it was in the hands of the police, who were honest gentle-
men. Witness with the assistance of a watchman apprehended
the prisoner, when witness found upon him twenty-six sove-
reigns, some silver, and tleven doubroons in the pocket-book ;
also a note from an American vessel-agent, to the purport that
.the prisoner had paid £3 on account-of his passage to New
York.

Mr. Parlour, the superintendent of police, produced the mo-
ney taken from the prisoner, and also the. belt containing the
rest.of the property,, which the prisoner was supposed to have
hid amongst the rubbish in Mrs. Kenny's house ; thirty-four
doubloons and one Napoleon was missing from the belt.
The prisoner had no counsel, and when called upon for his
defence he entered into a long history of his first acquaintance
with the prosecutor at New Orleans, which had nothing to do with
stealing the property for which he was tried, and intimated that
the prosecutor had run away from New Orleans for some kind
of felony, and that that was the cause • of his attempting to cut
his throat. _

The jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner guilty, and
the Recorder, after a severe and just commentary upon the base
ingratitude of the prisoner in robbing his benefactor of all he
posFessed, sentenced him to be tranlorted for seven years.
The prosecutor, in broken English, sincerely thanked the
court for the restoration of his- property. and expressed, in high
terms, his obligations to the police establishment, but for whose
indefatigable exertions all his money would have been lost, and
he hoped that Mr. Parlour would take charge of it until Alon-
day. Mr. Parlour. consented to do so, and the little French-
man left the court bowing most obsequiously to the Recorder,
the Mayor, and Counsel separately.
Yesterday the court was, occupied the whole day in the trial
of JaMes M'Clean, on the charge of having, when declared a
bankrupt, feloniously removed, secreted, and embezzled house-
hold furniture and other articles, with intent to defraud his cre-
ditors—the evidence on both sides was very voluminous, although
entirely void of public interest. The trial had not concluded
at six o'clock, when the court adjourned until nine o'clock this
day, when it will be resumed.

INCONVENIENCE Or THE HumANE.—Adistinguished member
of the society against cruelty to animals was complaina lately
of the smallness of a sleeping apartment which he had been
put into at Cheltenham. It was so small," said he, " as to
be fitter for a wild beast than a human being : it was a more
den iu size. Comfort was wholly out of the question--there
wasn't yowl to sn ing a eat--, which it very it. mt.:. ell jells r
