BLESSING OF A CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT.
Last year the poor-rate for the town of Manehe-ter wag
4s. in the pound, but for the current year only 3s. ! shoal'
ing a saving of the small 1?) amount of something all'
proaching £35,000. Rather significant this, particularly
to the middle c'assos of the community.
ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—Mr. J. S. Balls, the flI;
vourite light comedian, takes his benefit to-night ; and, !I
we may judge of the estimation he is held in by the publiC
by the unbounded applause that is nightly bestowed 00
his performances we would say it will he deservedly well
attended. The bill of fare is exceedingly a'tractive.
EMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES.—It appears
by a tabular statement in the New York Herald of June
24th, that the arrivals of emigrants front the Ist to the
24th of that month amounted to the extraordinary num-
ber of 13.683 ! Of these about 3000 are from this coati'
try, and the remainder chiefly from Germany.
At a general meeting of the Jockey Club. on SaturdaY
last, the following resoluion was passed ;—"That it being
now proved that Running Rein was three yeats old when
he ran for the two-yeats old plate at Newmarket, Creno"
line must be considered the winner of that race, and that
the Duke of Rutland is entitled to the plate."

POCKET •PICKING OPPOSITE THE TOWN• HALL.'"
SPEEDY JUSTlCE.—Yrtnerday, about one o'clock, at the
Police-court, a boy, named Joset.h Smith, was brought
before Mr. Rushton, charged with picking the pocket °,i.
a gentleman near the main entrance of the Town-hal"
It appeared that while the crowd which had been standing
at the end of Castle-street opposite the portico all the
forenoon, in expectation of obtaining a sight of the King
of Saxony, the prisoner was seen by a police-officer is
plain cl,thing to attempt to pick the pockets of several 01
the by-ganders, and finally got possession of a silk hand-
kerchief from a gentleman's pocket. When t,ken hold of
the ar icle was found concealed under his arm. He Was
committed to the House of Correction for three MOW":
BIRKEN /I LAD Docx BILL.—On Tuesday, Mr.
who had beer, ahout to address the Lords in reply for the
bill, was informed that there was no occasion for him to
have that trouble, but that heir lordships would hear him
or other counsel on any clauses that might be introduced,
and an order was made that the r' sp,ctive counsel should
furnish the promotPrs of the bill, in the course
evening, with the clauses they wished to introduee.Vi
not the practice of the Lords to announce the preamble o
a bill to be proved, as in the Commons; the annotmetl-.
ment they made is, however, equivalent. The clauses o:
the bill were then considered in committee, and it wa
expected that the report would be presented to the House
of Lords last night, when the bill would be proposed to
be rPtol a third time.

CHEAP TRIP FROM LONDON TO Ltvg t. aroo.--" '",,
understand that a cheap railway trip is likely to ta",
place front London to Liverpool and back in the ensui%
month, under the management of the contractor for the

thousands from the great metropolis an opportunitY;4
visiting and view-ng the wonders of the noanufacforiltlio
