( A DVERT(SE!kIENT.)
CASE OF GREAT DISTRESS

The case of an individual, who has taught'French in LiierPonl
and other parts of the kingdom for a period of twenty years,
is humbly submitted to the notice of the ben eat and
humane.
Mr. -- has fot several years taught in s town with dili-
gence and success, and amongst the n serous respectable
schools and families from whom he has re ved encouragement,
all have been pleased to express the es highly satisfied, with
his exertions. But it has pleased mighty God to visit him
with a disorder in the eyes, whichelsas left him almost totally
blind, and thus precluded him fromlarning his livelihood, as
formerly, by teaching. He is also beginning to feel in other
respects the infirmities of advancing life, and to some other
means of obtaining support for himself and his family he must,
therefore, betake himself. His family consists of his wife, six
children. and one step-child : of theta his wife and two children
are entirely, and other two in a great measure, dependant upon
him. Labouring under declining health and diminished abili-
ties for exerting himself, his mind is touched with the most
poignant distress at the idea of the hardships to which those in-
dividuals so dear to him must be exposed.
In addition to the other sources of his suffering, his landlord
has seized every article of furniture which his house contained
for the payment of the rent last due; thus leaving him in a state
of the most helpless destitution, without the means of buying a
single aitiele to render a house habitable, or to provide those
comforts which arc so necessary during the severities of the
cpproaching winter.
Under these circUmatances he. makes his
,present appeal.
Nothing is exaggerated; every statement can be substantiated
by the most satisfactory proof. Mr. WI I.LA N, of the Library,
in Bold-street, has kindly consented to receive any donations
that may be made. To a generous public he leaves the result.
Donations will also be received at the Standard-office.

When Incledott returned.frora America, he met his old friend
Pope, and after mutual congratulations, the latter exclaimed,
•• Welt, Charles, and how do they feed ?" " Immortally," re-
plied Charles, " the very poetry of eating and drinking, my
dear Pope in all things but one,—by -- they take no oil with
their salads!" "No oil to their salads!" reiterated the horror-
stricken. tragedian, " Why did we make peace with them ?"

PaEst.:Nes: OF MsNn.—Lord Berkeley, an ancestor of the
present Lord Segrave, a man of great firmness and pretence of
mind, used to boast, at a time when highway robberies were of
frequent occurrence, that he would never allow himself to be
robbed by a single highwayman alone. One night his carriage
was stopped by a robber, who thrust his pistol through the win-
dow and demanded his money, saying, " that his lordship
would now have it taken by a single highwayman." Lord
Berkeley, affecting to put. his hand into his .pocket for money,
calmly replied, You should not have my money now but fur
that fellow behind Vou." 'the robber turned his head and was
instantly shot by Lord Berkeley !
At a time when iucendiarism was frequent in St Pet.ersburgh,
a- servant girl found in the street a letter in which a neighbour
was threatened with having his house burned down that very
night. She instantly flew to the devoted family tai give the alarm;
and, after relating the story to her master, went to bed in a
state of dreadful agitation. In the middle of a cold and stormy
night, she was taken out of bed by the police, hawing only time
to snatch up a petticoat and wrap it round her shoulders ; she
was dragged to the office, and, without a word of examination,
knouted severely; and then thrust into prison, where she was
kept, for two days without food ! Her crime was having warned
the intended victims, instead of carrying the letter to the police;
and, having been delivered of a child only a day or two before,
her death from exhaustion would, in all probability, have been
the consequence, had she not purchased from one of the men,
for an eighty kopek piece, a small morsel Of black bread.—

TIMIg: is the most undefineable yet paradoxical of things; it is
the measurer of all things, but is itself immeasurable, and the
discloser of all things, but itself undisclosed. Like space, it is
incomprehensible, because it has no limit, and it would be still
more so it it had: 'Lime is the most subtle yet the most insati-
able of depredators, and, by appearing to take nothing, is per-
mitted to take all; nor can it be satisfied until it has stolen the
world from us, and us from the world. It constantly flies, yet
overcomes all things by flight; and although it is the present
ally it will be the future conqueror of death. Wisdom walks
before it, opportunity with it, and repentance behind it : he
that has made:•it his New: will have little to fear from his ene-
mies; but he that hat mad,: it his-enemy will have little to hope
from his friends. •

LONDON LAW AND POLICE COURTS.

ROLL'S COURT-SATURDAY.
THE LIVERPOOL CLERGY.

ATTORNEY-GENERALT;r:isIy;rt OF LIVERPOOL, ETO.—Mr.
Bickersteth, on the part of the Crown, moved for an injunction
of the court to restrain the defendants, the Mayor, Bailiffs, and
Common Council of the Corporation of Liverpool, from levying
certain sums of money upon the corporation property for the
purpose of augmenting the stipends payable to the clergy of
that town. The learned counsel read an affidavit of a burgess
of Liverpool, which formed the ground of the application, and
from which it appeared, that the defendants, for the purpose.
above-mentioned, had formed a design to appropriate a large
park belonging to the corporation, and to borrow upon the other_
corporation property a sum of £105,000. A meeting had been
held upon the 7th of November current, at which the town-
clerk- had -reported to the defendants the progress which had
been made, and from. which it appeared, that the transaction
was on the point of being carried through. The property on
which the sum was to be raised could not be legally applied for
the purpose of augmenting the income of the clergy, and the
measures which the defendants had in contemplation were much
against the wishes of the inhabitants of Liverpool, inasmuch as
they would have the effect of throwing upon the burgesses and
rate-payers the burden of 4i. large additional rate. The conduct
of the defendants in endeavouring to raise money on the cor-
poration fundS to augment the income of the clergy, was in di-
rect opposition to the clauses of the municipal corporations act,
and au attempt to frustrate the intentions of the legislature. In
six or seven weeks the provisions of that act would take effect,
and the defendants would have to retire from office; and it was
obvious, at all events, that no harm could result from delaying
the proposed measure till that time. The learned counsel, how-
ever, hoped the court would see reason for granting the injunc-
tion wanted.—lnjunction granted.
We subjoin a copy of the injunction :

at Westminster.
The Attorney-General at the relation of Thomas Bolton and
Timothy Jevons, versus the Mayor, Bailiffs, and Burgesses of
the town of Liverpool. in the county of Lancaster.
"Let an injunction be awarded to restrain the defendants
from carrying into effect the proposed loans or levies of money
in the information mentioned, and from borrowhig or taking up
at interest any money for the purpose of augmenting the sti-
pends of the ministers or clergymen of the churches in the said
information mentioned, or any such or the like purpose, and from
affixing the common seal of the said corporation to any bond,
mo-r.tgacre, or other instrument for securing the repayment of
any such- monies, and also to restrain the said defendants from
applying any monies which may have been already borrowed or
taken up, or any other part of the funds of the said corporation
to the augmenting of the stipends of such ministers as aforesaid,
or otherwise endowing the churches to the nomination or pre-
sentation whereto they are so entitled, as in the information
mentioned, until the defendants shall fully answer the relators'
information, or this court makes other order to the contrary.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.-TIIURSDAY
PRISnNERS IN TEM Fl. Err.

The Vice-Chancellor this morning upon entering the court
addressed the bar, and said it would-be in their recollection that
Mr.-Bacon had applied on the first day of term that two prison-
ers, a male and female, who had been brought up in custody,
might be turned over to the Fleet in default of putting in their
answer; and that, after the usual oath had been administered
to them, they had been accordingly committed for the contempt.
His honour had this morning au interview with Mr. Brown, the
Warden of the Fleet, and that gentleman had declared to him
that those prisoners, as well as several other persons confined in
the Fleet, were in a state of the greatest destitution. His
honour expressed his very great surprise to Mr. Brown at re-
ceiving this information, fur by the 7th rule of the 15th section
of ,Sir Edward Sugden's act it was provided that at four speci-
fied periods in every year one of the Masters of the Court of
Chancery, to be named by the court, should visit the Fleet
prison and examine the prisoners confined there for contempt,
and should report their opinion on their respective cases to the
court; and that the court might order, if it should see fit, the
costs of the contempt to be paid out of the suitors' fund. and
discharge the prisoners, and assign them counsel to defend in
forma pauperis. His honour inquired of Mr. Brown whether
any of the masters had visited the Fleet according to the provi-
sions of the act, and received a reply in the negative. His
honour was quite sure this had happened merely through inad-
vertence; but he felt it his duty to mention the matter thus
publicly in order that for the future one of the masters might
visit the prison regularly, and ascertain the condition ri,f the
prisoners who were committed there by toe court.
