A JUVENILE HOUSEBREAKER.—A lad named South-
hurst, about eighteen years oid, and a litle boy apparently
not much beyond half that age, were placed in the dock
on the following charge :—A working man stated that, at
a little before seven o'clock that morning, as he was at
work, he saw the little boy attempt to open the window
of a house in Longman-street, Toxteth-park. He made
the attempt with a table-knife, but did not succeed ; he
then joh.ed the older lad, who appeared to be on the alert,
in the event of the junior's success, and immediately
afterwards made a second attempt on a cellar window;
but a number of persons being in bed within, occasioned
some alarm to the young thief, and he ran off, pursued
by the man who had been watchinc, his movements. The
eld,ir lad, who has been in custody before, was committed
to prison for two months; the other was discharged.
SEAMAN'S WAGES.—Richard Baxter, a Cockney sailor,
summoned the captain of the Ivanhoe for £6, the alleged
amount of wages due to complainant, who shipped in Ja-
nuary at London, as an able seaman at £2 ss. per month
for the voyage to Cuba. The vessel arrivel in Liverpool
on the 26th ult. The captain adduced evidence of the
want of skill on the part of Baxter, who, he said, could
not steer the vessel. Mr. Rushton decided that the wages
of an ordinary seaman would meet the case. These had
already been paid ; the case therefore ended by complain-
ant losing his demand.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE

THREATENING TO SHOOT.—OiI Wednesday, Mr. Hime,
solicitor, applied to have Mr. La Guerrande, who has
lately been a bankrupt, bound to keep the peace. The
ease has often been before the Bankruptcy Court, and it
will be remembered that Mr. La Guerrande's furniture
(which he contends is the property of his wife and children)
had been seized by the assignees. It was announced for
sale on Thursday, but, in the meantime, Mr. Gaskell,
auctioneer, thought it necessary to apply for the protection
of the police. The bankrupt had, it appears, stated to
Mr. Ainger, Mr. Gaskell's clerk, that there would be
bloody work before the sale was over, and that he and
others would have a bullet through their heads.—Mr.
Rushton issued a summons to be immediately served upon
Mr. La Guerrande, and in two hours he appeared with his
solicitor, Mr. Cross.—Mr. Cross designated the affair as
a foul conspiracy. The alleged threatening took place
on Saturday, and yet Monday and Tuesday were allowed
to pass and no complaint made.—Mr, Rushton ordered
that in consequence of his threats he must find bail, him-
self in £2OO, and two sureties in £lOO each.—Mr. Cross
then left the court, and shortly returned. accompanied by
Mr. Baines, shipbroker; and these gentlemen became
sureties in the required amounts.—[The sale took place
as advertised, on Thursday It went off peaceably, but
(owing, no doubt, to the event we have narrated) there
was an unusually large attendance.l

ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON,—Michael Regan, de-
3cribed as a labourer, charged Maria Lewis, a prostitute,
with having robbed him at a house in Neston-street.
Complainant had about ten shillings in his pockets when
he entered the house. He saw the girl thrust her hand
nto his pockets and take out the whole contents. Lewis
vas committed for trial.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN A CHURCH.—An extraor-
scene was presented in Christ Church on Sunday
JuSt as the Rev. F. Odd was leaving the vestry to
end the pulpit, a man, rising from the seats iminedi-
.ely before the communion table, rushed past him and
succeeded in getting into the pulpit, although the sexton
and others attempted to arrest his progress. Having
gained the pulpit, the man commenced gesticulating, and
conducted himself in so extraordinary a manner that
little doubt was felt as to his state of mind. Force was
found to be of more efficacy than persuasion ; though it
required a rather formidable complement before the un-
seemly intruder could be brought to abandon his post ;
and then he brought the two gas-chandeliers uown with
him, to the serious alarm of the parties seated beneath
the, pulpit. While this was enacting, the greatest confu-
sion prevailed throughout the church ; many persons, not
being able to ascertain the cause of the excitement, ap-
prehended more than the circumstances would warrant
and were in the greatest disorder, some of the lad;
tainting. At length the man was dragged dov.
ejected from the church, and taken to the Rese-hill
tion. Subsequently, at the main bridewell, Messrs.
Gibbons and A rnnt. of the northern hospital, examines
it,. man and pronounced nim insane. ms name is Joseph
Whittingham, and he formerly was an inmate in the
asylum attached to the workhouse. Yesterday he was
brought before Mr. Rushton, who directed that he should
be taken to his old quarters at the workhouse.

INTIMIDATING WORKMEN.—At the Police-court, on
Tuesday, James and George Richardson were summoned
under the Combination Act, for having, by threats and
otherwise, attempted to induce John Mahony to leave his
lawful employment. The complainant is in the service of
Mr. Timothy Hughes, cabinet-maker, Bold-street, whose
workshops are sitn.te in Ivel-Fitrppt. any Flees-sreet.
Disputes had arizen with Ir. Hughes's men and the
Cabinet-makers' Society relative to Mr. Hughes employ-
ing his men at piece prices, instead of paying them by the
day. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Hughes that
deputations from the union had frequently waited upon
him to induce him to alter his system, that piquets were
stationed about his premises, and that his men were in-
tercepted. The complainant, John Mahony, gave evidence
to the effect that, on Saturday evening week, he was
passing along Hanover-street, when the defendants called
to him, and they went, together with another man, into
Carter's publichouse, where the defendants endeavoured
to persuade him to leave his employment, and said he
should have his head cut off for working in such a hole,
and if he did not come out his name would be posted
throughout the country. They insisted upon him going
with them to the Tam o'Shanter, their club-house, and
,ttempted to drag him there. and -1 from

THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER."-At the Police-court,
on Thursday, a seaman, named John H. Brown, steward
of the ship Robert C. Winthrop, was summoned by Wm.
Brown, a shipchandler, for having, on the 22nd ultimo,
threatened to take his life, for which purpose he (the de-
fendant) had purchased a pistol in America, whither he
had been on a voyage. It appeared from the evidence,
that the defendant went to sea in April last, and during
his stay in Boston he heard that an improper intimacy
had existed between the complainant, who was an unmar-
ried man, and the defendant's wife. On returning home,
the complainant saw the defendant passing along Water-
loo-road, when he went up to him, and held out his hand
to shake hands. The defendant, however, refused, swore,
and said he had something against him. They subse-
quently met again, when the complainant desired to know
the charge he (the defendant) had against him. Mr.
Bretherton, solicitor, who appeared for the defendant,
John H. Brown, cross-examined the defendant at some
length, and elicited the following statement :—He was a
prayer-leader of the Wesleyan connexion, and had been
at defendant's house, but was as innocent of the accusa-
tion as the child unborn, meaning innocent of having had
improper intimacy with the defendant's wife. The de-
fendant then said, " I have not yet accused you, but your
conscience accuses you." He had met at his house for
prayers. He believed the defendant said something to
the effect, that when he first heard the news in Boston,
he had sworn to kill him the first time he met him ; but
lie had since altered his mind, and he would leave it to
God and his conscience. Mr. Bretherton then said—

The Bishop of Exeter, who is now in residence as a
canon of Durham, preached on Sunday last, in the Cathe-
dral of that city, from the fifth chapter of Ephesians, and
the 30th verse—" For we are members of his body, of
his flesh, and of his bones." The cathedral was densely
crowded, the auditors including many of the banisters of
the northern circuit, as well as a great number of
strangers.

The Rev. Mr. Lowe, of Madeira, has, de facto, excom-
municated and admonished the Bishop of Bombay " not
to present himself as a communicant," he being a "schis-
matic." No wonder the Bishop of London stands aghast
at the treatment of his rev. brother ! We are not sur-
prised at his lordship's complaint of " this stretch of
ecclesiastical authority," or that he "finds himself in an
embarrassing and painful position."

THE BISHOP OF MANCHESTER AND THE CURATES'
AID FUND.—It is stated that, under an arrangement
made by the Committee of the Additional Curates' Fund,
under which Episcopal countersignature to an application
for a grant shall be understood to attest only the spiritual
necessities of the applicant's sphere of duty, and the
inability of the applicant out of his own Benefice to pro-
vide the requisite ministrations, the Bishop of Manchester
has countersigned Mr. Irvine's application, and that the
Leigh Grant has been renewed, and paid up ; with the
prospect of Mr. Alsop's meeting with similar considera-
tion.

" Now, upon your oath, as a zlass-leader, did not you
say to Mrs. Brown, after her husband had gone to sea—
' Now you are a grass widow ?' " To this the complain-
ant denied that he used the word " grass." He did say—
" You will be a widow now, I suppose." In answer to
other questions, the complainant replied that he went
there to pray with Mrs. Brown ; fiat there were other
women present on one occasion; and in a very sarcastic
manner added—" Can't do anything without women, you
know." Was twice in defendant's house praying after he
sailed. On being asked whether he ever held religious
worship in the open air, he answered—" I am not like
the publicans and sinners, going praying in the streets."
After several other very strange statements and admis-
sions, and a remark from Mr. Bretherton that he had
done with the complainant, Mr. Rushton observed that
the bench did not believe the defendant had used any
direct threat. The case was therefore dismissed. The
magistrate further remarked, that it was the business of
a wise man not to entertain any such opinion against a
wife unless he was sure. He hoped she was a good and
virtuous woman.

TITHE REDEMPTION TRUST.—On Tuesday, a general
meeting of the clergy and laity was held at St. Martin's-
hall, Long-acre, with the view of promoting the restora-
tion of alienated tithes to their legitimate purposes, viz.
the service of the church. Lord J. Manners, M,P. took
the chair. His lordship having regretted the absence of
Mr. Prosser, M.P., Mr. Stafford, M.P., and Mr. Howell
Gwynn, M.P., observed that the fact which had called
the Tithe Redemption Trust into existence was, that the
clergy of the Church of England were inadequate in
point of numbers to fulfil the duties imposed upon them,
and were in many instances very ill paid for their
labours. According to a pamphlet lately published by
Mr. Palmer, 4000 additional clergy were required to
render the service of the Church of England effectual,
and of these 1400 were required in the metropolis
alone. The tithes of 4,600 parishes in this country were
alienated, taking away from the service of the Church
£1,500,000 yearly. (Hear.) The Tithe Redemption
Trust had for its object the gradual redemption of these
funds, with a view to their application to their original
use. By the expenditure of £5OO they had already re-
stored £5O yearly to the Church ; and, at that rate, if
the public would contribute £5,000 yearly, at the end of
twenty years £lO,OOO yearly would be restored to the use
of the Church of England. About £l,lOO tithes were an-
nually restored to the use of the Church by the efforts of
private individuals unconnected with the society, and
amongst these were the present and the late Archbishop
of Canterbury, and also the University of Oxford. He
earnestly hoped for a liberal support in effecting the good
object they sought to attain. The Rev. James Davis and
other clergymen and laymen proposed and supported re-
solutions in accordance with the objects of the meeting.

it becomes a matter'of importance to create and foster a

Long habit has so. accustomed us to the use of those

not be apparent to those who)are most engaged in using
them r. but the entire absenceof beauty is so palpable to
others, constituting the majority of the public, that we
shall have no difficulty in convincing them that a change
is required. The principal arguments in favour of the
pots at present employed are—first, the great facility and
cheapneas with which they are produced; and secondly,
the evident liking which the roots of plants have for the
porous material of which the pots are composed.
The first objection is a strong one, but ought not to
stand in the way of improvement, because it is probable
that when other methods of manufacture are tried means
may also be found for rendering them as economical ; but
even supposing an ornamental pot cannot be made for
less than six times the amount of the ordinary ones, that
circumstance will alone render them more economical, for
the extreme cheapness of the common flower-pot renders
its preservation a matter of so little importance that in the
end it becomes a very expensive affair, whereas dearer
ones would be taken so much care of that they would in
the end prove the least costly. The second objection is
even less tenable. Gardeners are prejudiced against

circumstance well known to be injurious to the growth of
the plant; this will always, be the case with an imperfectly
porous material having a smooth surface, but not with a
perfectly porous material having the outside glazed and
impervious. All the glad pots which have been made
hitherto have been made of a close compact earthenware,
glazed on both sides. Such pots will never answer well,
because the moisture, having no absorbent material at the
sides to arrest its progress downwards, will all fall to the
bottom of the pot, and the roots will follow it ; now if the
side of the pot is thoroughly porous, it will act as an ab-
sorbent, and draw to it a considerable share of the moisture
which the rootlets will follow, and thus be spread through
the vv./Joie of the soil, thereby coming into contact with all
the aliment provided for them, as richness of soil, air, and
moisture. This is the reason we find the roots invariably
seek the sides of a common flower pot : its sides absorb
moisture, which the roots require. But much of this
moisture is lost by evaporation from the external surfa"e,
and if exposed to the sun, which is the case generally with

Nuts containing plants, the roots are apt to suffer from the
very circumstance that they previously benefited by.

STEAM-BOAT OPPOSITION.

1 TO THE EDITOR OF SAUNDERS'S NEWSLETTER.
Sir,--As the public are under the impression that the,
interposition of impartial persons might put an end to the.
present wasteful opposition to the Dublin Steam Company,.
I am authorised to submit to them the following stale-
merit :

A deputation from the Council of the Chamber of Corn-,
merce having called on the directors of the Dublin Steani
Company, stated, that, as the contest materially and in-
juriously affected the trading interests of the port, they
had considered it within their province to mediate between
the parties, in the hope of effecting some satisfactory
arrangement. With that view they proposed that the
several parties should refer the matters at issue to arbitra-
tir!.

To this the directors of the Dublin Steam Company
promptly acquiesced. A meeting was held at the Chamber
of Commerce, and several parties were there represented.
Mr. Malcolinson, being present, declined to any arbitra-
tion unless certain conditions, which he submitted in
writing, were previously imposed on the arbitrators. I
here give these nine conditions, with the remarks of the
mediators of the council. A lengthened conference took
place. Mr. Malcolmson, however, positively declined to

sonable," provided both parties had previously
consented
to be thus mutually bound. As no such law, however,
has been admitted or promulgated by any authority, and
as it is here manifestly and expressly framed to cover Mr..
Malcolmson's acts, and, as he himself observes "to
justify" him, no company could possibly submit to be
judged by this ex-post facto dictation or law, and which
could not be legally enforced or recognised. Mr. Mal-
colmson seeks to convert into a legal partnership as regards
all lines the dividing of freights received on one particular
line; a measure which has frequently been adopted by
steam companies merely as a more convenient mode of
equalising the extent:of business done and goods carried,
and thus avoiding the necessity of canvassing for freights;
no amount of expenditure or any consideration being had
as to a division of profits that could lead to or infer a
partnership.

As to No. 3—Respecting the chartering the Devonshire,
my own opinion always was that the act of the British and
Irish Company in chartering their vessel to the Kilkenny
and Waterford Railway Company, and for the express
purpose of opposing Mr. Malcolmson's Waterford line,
was a violation of the non-interference principle. With
that charter, however, the Dublin Company had no con-
nexion whatever. I leave that Company to make out their
justification to the arbitrators. At all events the charter
and its subsequent renewal were made without the know-
ledge of the Dublin Steam Company, who even strongly
remonstrated against the measure when informed of it.
The Dublin Steam Company and the British and Irish
Company, so far from being partners, are wholly distinct
and independent companies, and nothing could be more
unreasonable or unjust than making the former account-
able for the acts of the latter, over whom they bad no con-
trol or even influence, and for acts which they had even
condemned.

With respect to No. 4—The requiring that the arbitra-
tors should consider the Waterford Company and the
Messrs. Malcolmson to be " distinct parties." Thia
comes strangely from Mr. Malcolmson, who is the ruling
director in both, and at the very moment when he is
insisting on the Dublin Company and the British and
Irish Company being considered as one and the same, and
as legal partners. The fact is, Mr. Malcolmson having,
throughout, taken on himself the sole rule and manage.
ment of the vessels belonging to the parties, he now
requires to be considered as distinct; he is, also, the prin-
cipal and leading director in the Cork Company—Mr.
Pike, who is a paid managing-director, of necessity acting
under authority of the board of which Mr. Malcolmson is
the influential member. Indeed, Mr. Pike admitted that,
at the election of directors, Mr. Malcolmson had the corn-
mand, by reason of his preponderating interest in the
company.

HEALTH WHERE 'TIS SOUGHT!

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.

CURE OF A DISORDERED LIVER AND STOMACH,
WHEN IN A MOST HOPELESS STATE.
Extract of a Letter from Mr. Matthew Harvey. of Chapel
Hall, Aird,ie, Scotland, dated the 15th of January, 1850.
To Professor HoLLowAv.
Sin,—Your valuable Pills have been the means, with God's
blessing, of restoring me to a state of perfect health, and at a
time when I thought I was on the brink of the grave. I had
consulted several eminent doctors, who, after doing what they
could for me, stated that they considered my case as hopeless.
I ought to say that I had been suffering from a Liver and Sto-
mach complaint of long standing, which during the last two
years got so much worse that everyone considered my condi-
tion as hopeless. las a last resource got a Box of your Pills,
which.soon gave relief, and by persevering in their use for
some weeks, together with rubbing night and morning your
Ointment over my chest and stomach, and right side, I have
. by their means alone got completely cured, and to the astonish-
) anent of myself and every bod who knows me.,
(Signed) MATTHEW HARVEY.
CURE OF A CASE OF AKNESS AND DEBILITY, OF
FOURXEARS' STANDING.
Extract of a Letter om Mr. William smith, of No. 5, Little
Thomas-street, :boon-street, Lambeth, dated Dec. 12th,
1849.
'To Professor-IfOLLowAy.
SIR,--I beg to inform you that for nearly five years I hardly
knew what it was to have a day's health, suffering from extreme
weakness and debility, with constant nervous headaches, gid-
diness, and sickness of the stomach, together with a great
depression of spirits. I used to think that nothing could
benefit me, as I had been to many medical men, some of whom,
_after doing all that was in their power, informed me that they
considered that I had some spinal complaint beyond the reach
of cure, together with a very disordered state of the stomach
and liver, soaking my case so complicated that nothing could
lie done for me. One day, being unusually ill and in a dejected
-state, I saw your Pills advertised, and resolved to give them a
trial, more peitaps from curiosity than with a hope of being
cured ; however, I soon found myself better by taking them,
and so I went on persevering in their use for six months, when
I am Iliappy to say they effected a perfect cure.
(Signed) WILLIAM SMITH.
