'e may state, in addition, that one other vessel entered
the dock by yesterday's tide ; one is in the river ; and the
manifests of two ships, now off the port, are lodged at the
dock for discharging there,

Two CAR-DRIVERS COMMITTED FOR TRIAL.—Yes.
terday, at the Police-court, two car-drivers were brought
before Mr. Rushton, charged with stealing a man's cap.
The case was proved against them, and as it appeared
that one of them had been committed for felony several
times, and the other no fewer than four times, they were
both committed for trial at the sessions. This case natn-
rally suggests the question—As no carman can legally
drive without a license granted by the magistrates (or the
Town Council), how comes it that so little inquiry is
made into the characters of applicants, that even men,l
who have been repeatedly convicted of felony, are passed
as eligible for the trust, when the slightest inquiry at the
Police-court, and reference to its books, would immedi-
ately show them to be vile impostors. Tne public are
sufficiently annoyed by the frequent overcharges, inso-
lence, and sometimes dishonesty, of a great number of
carmen already, that it is surely high time that, when new
applications are made, men of really good character should
along be licensed, so that the whole of the body may be
improved, and the public protected.
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS AT NEW BRIGHTON.—In
consequence of camplaints made by visitors at this agree-
able bathing place, of the cruelties wantonly practised by
donkey drivers and others, the Liverpool society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals solicited and promptly
obtained. from the London Royal Society, th 3 services o
an active London constable to arrest them. The result
of his exertions have been the conviction, at Liscard Ses-
sions-house, on the 2nd instant, before William Hall and
Henry Winch, Esqrs., of William Rowlands and Richard
Peters, of New Brighton, donkey drivers, in costs, for
cruelly beating donkeys under their charge. Also, of
George Upton. of Wallasey, in 10s. and Gs. Gd. in costs,
for working a horse in a cart, whilst suffering from a
dreadfully cut and bleeding knee ; and of Jonathan Mar-
shall, of Wallasey, in ss. and costs Gs. 6d., for violently
beating a donkey, and spurring it under the tail till it
bled. Through the agency of the same active constable,
before William Potter, Esq., at Birkenhead, on Tuesday,
the 6th instant, John Pearse, driver of the. Hoylake
coach, was convicted in the penalty of 10s. and 65. Gd.
costs, for driving horses with raw wounds under the
collar. It is to be hoped that these cases will be a solitary
example to other offenders, and that the police and the
humane part of the public, will thus see the importance
of doing all in their power to suppress all cases of similar
cruelty. It is not generally known, that by the act of
Parliament, any one may take out a summons for a case
of cruelty which he has witnessed, and obtain certain
conviction, without the need of any other witness. If
application be made to Mr. Hayward, of Bold-street, the
agent for the society, or Mr. Richard Fry, the honorary
secretary, every assistance will be rendered.
MRS. PARKES' PICTURES.—The drawing of the club
subscription for this valuable collection is now progressing,
and many of our townsmen have been extremely fortu-
nate. Nearly all the shares are taken, and as a subsriber
of one guinea is entitled, at the lowest ratio, to a print
valued at one guinea and a half, (eleven thousand pounds
worth of pictures being divided amoest the subscribers of
two thousand pounds,) there can be little doubt that all
will be disposed of ip tt few clays. Mc, Cutters pf
street, is the agent.
