have to thank an all-seeing God that, in our periods of
greatest national tribulation, the land in which we are
placed is still, as compared with other lands, for its
climate, its liberty, and its security of life and property,
well worthy of the name of " happy England."
The arrival of the last West Indian mail has afforded

In particular, the case of the fertile and
lately prosperous island of Antigua is one which is well
calculated to awake that active zeal for the amelioration
of human affliction, which so eminently distinguishes
the people of Great Britain. The morning of the Bth
of February dawned in peculiar beauty and freshness
upon that fertile possession of the British Crown. Its
luxurious crops waved in the gentle trade wind. Not

attention.

ALING COPPER..—Michael Clarke, an elderly man,
was committed to the Borough Gaol, by Mr. Rushton, yes-
terday, for having stolen a small quantity of copper from the
Clarence Dock.

DEAD INFANT FOUND.—On Friday morning last, the
person who cleans the Stanhope-street chapel, found a box
close to the outer gate, which on opening she found to con-
tain the body of a male infant. It was taken to the Southern
Hospital and examined, when it was pronounced by the sur-
geon to be still born.

STEALING BEEF.—An old woman, named Mary Jones,
who had been previously several times committed and dis-
charged, was brought before Mr. Rushton, at 'the Police-
court, yesterday, charged with having stolen a piece of beef
from a stand in St. James's Market. She was sentenced
to three months' imprisonment in the Borough Gaol.

A DISHONEST SHOPBOY. William Jones, shopboy to
Mr. Dunsford, cutler and surgical instrument maker, was
placed before Mr. Rushton. on Saturday, charged with
having robbed his master of several knives, forks, and razors,
and Catharine Garratty and William Garratty, brother and
sister, who keep a marine store in Bevington-bush, were
charged with having received the property. The prisoners
were committed for trial, Mr. Rushton observing, that it was
individuals like the Garrattys who encouraged and even made
young thieves.

BEGGING IN THE STREET.---At the police-court, yester-
day, no less than 37 persons, many of them with families,
were charged with this offence. Amongst them were many
urgent cases of distress. Others, Mr. Rushton recognized
(to use his own term) as
." old friends of his." The truly
distressed were relieved, many of thsm substantially; others
were forwarded to the parishes in which their settlement was
proved.--while the more hardened, many of whom refused to
be clothed and sent home, were severally committed to the
Borough Gaol for times varying from seven days to one
month.

A CHILD RUN OVER.—A car-driver was placed before
Mr. Rushton, on Saturday, charged with having run over a
child. It appeared that, on Friday last, the driver was con-
veying a gentleman and his servant along Lime-street, when
he drove over a child which was crossing the road. None of
the witnesses produced saw the accident, but they saw the
child lying on the ground " like a heap of dirt," took it up,
and, finding that it was seriously injured, carried it to one'of
the hospitals. The gentleman's servant who rode on the
box, and who appeared for the prisoner, said they were going
at a moderate pace, when the child ran under the head of the
horse, and the wheel passed over it before the driver could
pull up. According to the evidence of police-officer 553, the
prisoner, having stopped for an instant, galloped away, and
be had some difficulty in overtaking him to ascertain his
number, which he did at the top of Mount Pleasant. The
child is said to be in considerable danger. The prisoner was
discharged on bail to appear when called on.

TII E. FUNDS: SATURDAY EVENING.—The English funds
have maintained steadiness, but not much business was
transacted. The stock-markets altogether were in a quies-
cent state. Consols for money and the account closed 96/
buyers ; Bank Stock, 184 to 185 ex. div ; 3 per Cents. Re-
dnced, 96 to A ex. div. ; 31 per Cents. Reduced, 1081 to lex.
div. ; New 31 per Cents., 102,1,- to 4; Long Annuities, 121- to
9.16; India Bonds, 765. to 78s. pm. ; Exchequer-bills, 2d.
issue, 675. to 695. pm. ; the lid. issue, 68s. to 70s. pm. ; and
India Stock, 269 to 270. There was almost a cessation of
dealings in the foreign stocks, though on the whole prices at
the close of the day ruled much the same as yesterday. Co-
lombian left off extremely heavy at 241 to 25; Spanish Ac-
tives were last quoted 231 to ; the New Stock, 31i to 4 ;
Portuguese converted, 401 to 11:- Mexican, 291 to 4 ; the
Deferred Stock, 81 to 4 ; Dutch 21 per Cents., 564 to 4 ; the
5 per Cents., 994 to 100; Danish,.Bs to 86; Brazilian, 75 to
76 ; and Belgian, 10-14 to 1051.

PUBLICANS FINED.—OnIy nine informations were heard
on Friday, which included publicans and beer-sellers. Wil-
liam Heury Morris, London-road, was fined 10s. and costs
for having served liquor at ten minutes to four on the Sunday
afternoon. We believe it is not generally known that all
houses dispensing liquors on the Sabbath afternoon, before,
the cluck has struck four, are equally as liable to the penal-
ties of the law as those infringing the new act, Mr. Rushton
remark'ng that it made no diffetence, afternoon or f aenoon,
in this respect. George Carrick, Mersey-street, 605., Robert
Roberts, Wellington-road, 405., Henry Pearce, Princes-
street, postponed ; John Rowland, Lawtcn-streeet, post-
poned. Beer-houses :—James Topkinson, Potteries, 605.,
John Carr, Albion-street, 605., Archibald M`Millan, Peach-
street, acquitted ; Edward Hughes, (cellar,) Chaucer-street,
acquitted. The cases postponed for further evidence were
resumed on Saturday. The defendants were acquitted in
both instances.

THE LIVER THEATRE TRIALS.—We understand that the
actions for trial at the present assizes regarding this theatre
have been adjourned to August next, by an arrangement be-
tween the attorneys and counsel for the plaintiffs and defend-
ants, with the consent of Mr. Justice Coltman. They were
entered in the cause list as follows :—" Bridge a. Honey,"
and " Bridge v. Buckstone." The first-named was brought
in the name of Mr. Bridge, on his own behalf and that of his
co-proprietors of the Theatre-Royal to recover seven penal-
ties, amounting to £350, under the act of the 10 George 11,
from Mrs. Honey, in addition to the convictions recently
obtained at Kirkdale, but against which she has appealed, for
performing in the drama at the Royal Liver Theatre. The
second was brought by the same party against Mr. John
Baldwin Buckstone to. recover four additional penalties
amounting to £2OO. There is a second action pending against
him for twenty other penalties amounting to £lOO, which
will, most probably, be decided at_the same time. The con-
ditions of the postponement, we believe, are, that Mr. Buck.
stone is not to play in the drama at the Liver until after the
next assizes ; that the theatre shall not be opened for thea-
trical purposes from this date until after that period ; and
that' the appeals against the convictions lately obtained at
Kirkdale shall not be gone into until the October sessions.

THE THEATRE ROYAL V. THE:MINOR THEATRES"Vit
the police-court yesterday, the solicitors of the Theatre Royal
again renewed their application to Mr. Rushton, in relation
to the minor theatres of the town. On the solicitor rising,
Mr. Rushton asked what is the nature of your application
to-day.? The Solicitor.—The application is rather prema..
turely made,• but understanding that on the result of the re-
cent decisions he (Mr. Ruqhton) had made, the parties con-
nected with a minor theatre, to which the mayor had give his
sanction—the Amphitheatre- =were actually preparing for the
representation of dramatic'entertainments we have made this
application. Mr. Rushton.—They have no right to enact
anything tbht is prohibited by law, and the' mayor's autho-
rity especially specifies that. The best' way would be to pro-
ceed against the proprietors under that "section of the new
improvement act that relates to persons'knotaing/y /dung,
Bcc.. and not against the spectators. ' The Solicitor.—This
would be difficult to prove. Mr. Rushton.-:—Let the parties
be served with notice of your intention, and lay before them
the evidence you have that such entertainments are about to
be produced. If, then, they do not cornOlY, I wil grant you
a summons. The Solicitor.—What will then be done? Mr.
Rushton.—j won't say what I will do. I will grant a sum-
mons against ,the proprietors. The course I have recom-
mended is the least hard, and decidedly the most convenient
way of proceeding. The solicitor thanked Mr. Rushton, and
left the court.

WEST DERBY UNION.-At the first meeting of the newly-
elected Board of Guardians of the 'West Derby Union, the
' following members were re-elected to the several offices held
by them during the past year,—viz, John Sheppard, Esq.,
Chairman, and Alderman Ryan, and Thomas Roberts,
Esq., Vice-Chairmen ; the unanimous thanks of the Board
having been awarded to them for their very valuable and
efficient services to the Union.—The sixth annual dinner,
which took place at the Rainbow Hotel, and which was in
every respect highly .satifactory, was very numerously at-
tended. The chair was most ably filled by Mr. Sheppard,
and Mr. Roberts contributed largely to the pleasure of the
company by his very excellent conduct as Vice-chairman,
After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts (which were intro-
duced in a very efficient manner by the Chairman,) had been
duly responded to, Mr. Parker proposed "The health of the
Poor Law Commissioners" in a most effective speech, and
highly eulogized the character of those gentlemen with re-
spect to the courtesy and kindness which they had at all
times exhibited towards the Guardians of the West Derby
Union. Several other gentlemen supported the proposition
of Mr. Parker, and repudiated the attempts which were fre-
quently made with much virulence, but with as little truth,
as affect to attach odium to those hon. gentlemen in the dis-
charge of their very arduous and responsible duties. Several
other excellent speeches were made by John Formby, Esq.,
magistrate, the. Rev. Thomas Dwyer, and other gentlemen,
on the subject of the Union and the Loor-laws ; and on every
topic the utmost unanimity and satisfaction prevailed.

THF: GREAT WESTERN.—The passengers, before their
arrival,.presented the following address to Captain Ilosken,
expressive of their admiration of the manner in which he
managed his ship during the recent voyage, and of their ob-
ligation to him for his uniform politeness and attention to
their wants:—

" On board the steam-ship Great Western,
31st March, 1843.
" Sir,—As the time draws near when our voyage on board
this ship is to terminate, we have great pleasure in expressing
to you our sense of the attention manifested by yourself and
the officers and crew under your command, in the perform-
ance of your respective duties, and which has throughout
inspired the most implicit confidence among those whose
safety has, under Providence, been placed in your charge.
The passage has been, for this ship, one of unusual length,
arising from a succession of contrary winds and tempestuous
weather; but it has served at the same time to exhibit, in
stronger relief, the high qualities of this noble sea-boat, and
the vigilance and talents of her officers. We separate with
the hest wishes for the success of her ejltexpri.iog owners,
and for the welfare of yourself and the officers and men
under your charge.
" To Captain James Hosken, R.N., &c. &c."

THE NEW PACKET-SHIP MONTEZUMA.—This new and
beautiful vessel entered our harbour on Friday morning,
after a passage of 17 days and a few hours, from New York.
Her appearance as she came into port, with the English en-
sign floating in front, and the stripes and stars at the mizen,
under sail with a full and fair breeze, was very imposing.
While just entering the harbour, she gave a salute of 18
guns from a piece of artillery on board, which, echoing from
the shore, produced a fine effect. In lat. 40. 55, long. 20.
25, she fell in with the dismasted wreck of the French brig
St. Bernard, of lklcamp, in a sinking state, on the eighth
day after she had been disabled, and her officers and crew,
16 in number, were, in a time of great peril, rescued from
the wreck, and brought by Captain Lowber to this port.
The passengers, on their arrival, in testimony of their high
appreciation of his ability as a seaman, and his praiseworthy
exertions in saving the above officers and crew. presented
him with a silver pitcher. On receiving it he was addressed,
on behalf of the passengers, by A. Williams, Esq., of the
city of New York, one of their number, in a neat and elo-
quent speech, to which be made a feeling and appropriate re-
ply. The Montezuma is, according to all the accounts, one
of the fastest vessels afloat. During the trip, she sailed one
day no less then 291 miles. on another 280, and two days in
succession at the rate of 274 per day. This has seldom been
surpassed, if equalled, by any of the Atlantic steamers. The
New York Courier says with reference to her—" Everything
is all that taste and unstinted liberality of outlay could wish
it, and not a single item that taste could devise, comfort call
for, or money purchase has been omitted. The captain and
owners threw the Montezuma open to their friends and visi-
tors generally on Wednesday and Thursday last—the latter
being Lady Day. and the hospitalities of a
new packet were
never more gracefully dispensed or more beautifully re-
ceived. The company both days was large, and the pleasure
of the visit mutually pleasant, we believe, to those who gave
and those who partook of the entertainment. Capt. Lowber
bore himself like a true sailor and gentleman, as we know he
will always do in port and on the ocean. Success to him and
his ship."
