FOREIGN ICE.—A great quantity of ire has recently
been imported into Liverpool from the northern parts of
the United States, for the use of the confectioners and
hotel keepers. Tow irdsthe close of list week, large
cart-loads of the a:ticle, in immense masses or square
blocks, from one and a half to about two feet in thick-
ness, were seen in transilu from the docks to the several
ice-houses. Thu tl icks were beautifully pelucid, regem.
bliog the finest crystal. The sun was powet III!, but they,
appeared to form, to a great degree, an atmosphere for
themvelves; for though • uncovered, the leakage., from
melting, was very trifling.
EFFECTS OF INTOXICATION.—On SatnTilay a female
of haggard appearance, named Brown, was bron;:ht tip at
the Police Court, under the f flowing circumstances :—lt

months old, was observed to tumble Out or the windlw of
its mother's wretched abode and t r fall noon its side on
the pavement. The height of the window from the
ground was said to be +hair en feet, and the child in fall-
ing- broke its thigh, and its life is in danger. On going up.
to the room, the prisoner was fi urni in a wa'e r.f intoxica-
tion, sitting close to the waldow fri m which the accident
happened; and it was supposed that the chill had fallen,
and was not thrown out. The prisoner was remanded.

DEATH OF COOKE THE CELEBnATED EQUF,STRIAN.—
This patriarch of the Circus died a few days ago in this
town—ill peat distress we regret to say, so much so, that
a few friends who knew Urn in hi; p-asperity are now
getting up a suhs,Tiption for his destitute widow. The
Royal Amphitheatre, Great Charlotte-streA—the noblest
edifice of its kind out of London—is one of the as any
structures he bu It in the course of his txtraordinary and
diversified career; and there is no town in the empire
where he and his troop were rot well known some
twenty or thirty years ago. He has left some mana.cripls
of his life behind him, which will probably be published
when properly revised for the pre-s.

Birmingham, and the pipes may be expected here in a
few weeks. The well, however, will not be completed
until next June.

PAWNBROKERS FINED.—On Wednesday last, Mr.
Ro'ioson, who appeared on behalf of the Churchwardens
of Liverpool, preferred three charges against George
Richards, pawnbroker, of London-roof, for demanding
more than the lega rate of interest allowed by act of Par-
liament. The magistrates ordered him to pay a fine of
£5 and 4s. 6d. costs, in each case, arid expressed their
determination to inflict the fall penalty in future, which
is £lO, as they were deft T nined to do their utmost to put
the system down. Mr. Richards expressed himself to
the effect that he should reserve his d fence for the ses-
sions.—On the same day, Henry Adamson, Burlington-
street, was fined £5 and costs, for a similar offence,
having charged 6d. for interest on some goods pledged at
his shop, instead of 2d., which was all he had a right to

A DISAPPOINTED FORTUNE ITUNTER.—A young man,
named Thomas Dempsey, was c!lacged at the Pol:ce-
coutt, on Thursday, will having, for upwards of ten
months, neglected to support his wife, who Lad become
chargeable to the parish. The wife, a pretty looking girl.
fifteen years of age, to whom the prisoner had been mar-
ried upwards of twelve months, appeared to substantiate
the summons. In reply to the charge Dempsey said he
did not conceive that he was bound, tither morally or
►egally, to give such support ; when he married his wife it
was on the condition that he was to receive a " small decent
fortune" with her; this condition had not been fulfilled.
therefore he thought himself freed from the one he had
made, that he would "love and cherish." lie eas sent
to gaol for a month, to ruminrite on the errorvoui opinion
he had formed of the duties and tesponsibilities of a
husband.

CHARGE OF FELONY AGAINST A WEDDING GUEST.
—At the P lice-court, on Monday. a toung man, named
Thomas Seaton, was placed at the bar before Richard
Houghton, Esq., charged with felony. The complaining
panty, a man named Morgan, stated, that, on Saturday
last, he was sent for to the house of Mrs. Svers, who hid
that day been married, and she paid him £25 in a £2O
note and a£s note. When he came down the prisoner
and another person asked him to go and have a game at
bowls, at the Derby Arms. He consented, and, after
having placed three games, went into the house arid sat
down iii the parlour. The prisoner sat next to him, on
his left hand. Ile had the notes in his left band waistcoat
pocket. In a short time he missed his money, and said
aloud, " I have lost my money, and it is in the room, for
no one has b, en out or in." There were then six persons
present. The money was found in the trou,,ers pocket of
the prison r. who declared that he had not put it there.
The whole of the party were considerably in drink, but
perfectly conscious of what was going on. He was re-
manded, and subsequently discharged.
PROVINCIAL MEDICAL AND SURGICAL ASSOCIATION.
—The annual meeting of the Newton branch of this
Association, was held at Newton, on the 27th instant.
Among the members present were 1.),!5. Bohm., Lyon, and
Black, and Messrs. Anis% orth, Wilson, and Whitehead,
of Manchester; Sir Arnold Knight, M D., and Messrs,
Neil, and Eden, of Liverpool ; Dr. Kendrick, of War-
ring on. The members assembled at twelve o'clock,
tinder the presidency of Dr. Lyon, of Manchester, when
the transactions of the society during the past year, and
the report of the council were read by Mr. Hamilton, the
secretary; after which various interesting subjects were
brought forward and discussed by the different members.
At three o'clock they sat down to dinner, Dr. Lyon in
the chair, the vice-president bring Mr. Eden, of Liver-
pool, and Mr. Jordan. of Manchester. The u,ti II toasts
connected with the occa-ion were proposed, and the mem-
bers.separated, impressed with the utility of such meetings
in promo'itg the diffusion cf scientific information, and
fostering th it feeling of friendly intercourse which ought
to exist amongst all members of the profession.

MEETING OF THE BIRKENHEAD COMMISSIONERS.—
On Tuesday evening last the monthly alerting was held in
the Town-hall, " fur," as a shrewd conteroporary is fond
of stating on such °coos:tins, " the dispatch of business."
There were fourteen corrimisioners present, and John
Deane Case, Esq., took the chair. A conversation arose
on the subject of the water carts, from which it appeared
' that they were to co over the town generally, and that one
street would not be favoured more than another. The
salary of the person appointed to survey the building of
the lodges (now going on) in the perk, was st ited to be
two guineas a week. Mr. Jackson, in reply to a question

that the arches, as previously
proposed, should be pro-

ferry were stated to be going on ' favourably and it was
hoped that all the boats would soon be in operation, so
that Monk's Ferry could also be effectually worked. Mr.
Sudlow asked several questions relative to the borrowing
of money—a loan of £lO,OOO being taken at four per
cent., which he thought too much. Had they advertised
for loans ; Mr. Greene said they had not in the instance
of the £lO,OOO, but would hereafter when they wanted
mor• money. lie thought Mr. Sudlow had better attend
the Finance Committee, of which he was a member, and
there discuss such matters. Mr. S. said the day of meet-
ing (Friday) was inconvenient for him. The proceedings
were then confirmed, and the board adjourned.
AGGRAVATED ASSAULT AND RESCUE OF A PRISONER.
—William Edwards, a car driver, in the employ of John
Wright, of the Golden Lion, Neston, was summoned be-
fore Sir Edward Cust and J. D. Case, Esq., for an assault
on John Brooks, a carter, at Lower Bebbington; 'Wright

head, a portion of the skull being laid completely bare.
He was attended by a surgeon. Griffiths, the constable,
stated that he took Edwards into custody, when Wright,
who is a tall, powerful man, came and released him, say-
ing he would be responsible for the consequences. Ed-
wards said he had been drinking all day, and did not re-
member anything that took place, and Wright denied that
he had taken the prisoner away by force, but had done so
with the officer's consent, The magistrates observed that
it was one of the worst cases they had ever heard of in
that neighbourhood. Very great outrages had been com-
mitted at Lower Bebbington on the Sabbath, and frequent
complaints had been made. Edwards was ordered to pay
the sum of £3 ;s., being the amount of expenses, &c.

MR. PILKINGTON, MASTER OF THE WOMZTIOUSR
ScniooL.—Wc have great pleasure in approoriatangthe
following paragraph from the Journal of Saturday. The
feeling which has d:ct oed the concluding remark, ha highly
honourable to the writer, and forms a rental kab'e contrast
to that sit long evinced by his r 'dicta brothers of the pttss,
in their unhtunded and malignant vituprrat ons against
the officers of the Workh,u, :—Yesterday, the boys of
the Workhouse School, preseoted their
schoolmaster, (through the Rev. S. Crags, chaplain,) with
elegant Wide aid Church Service, as a token of respect.
On a silver plate, affixed to the back of the Bible, is this
inscription :—" Presentcd to Mr. Geo:iv! Pilkinenon, by
the boys of the Par.acitial School, (comp icing different
d-nittninations.) and their parents, as a triune of respect,
for his unwearied diligence iii promoting., for upwards of
eLht years, the education of the youth committed to his
cal e. July, 1841." When it is consid-red that ttiis pre-
sent was made by pauper children, Roman Catholics as
Well as Protestants, it must be exceedingly gra iiyis,g to
the rate-payers, as a convincing proof that the master has
the interest of the poor children at heart, and has secured
their affections.

SHARPERS.—Birkenhead fair did not pass over without
a sharper doit.g a Mile business. A tall man, dressed in
black, and yeserntilaig a grouPm, intrndue d himself to a
gentleman, repiesenting himself as Sir William M. Stan-
ley's groom, ana, after observing 'h !t lie knew the gen-
tleman's son who had titint,d witn Sir William, said there
as a horse that would suit him at the Albion, but he had
quarrelled with the ovvmr about - the price, and should
feel obliged if he-would do Sir William a seivice, bargain
for the house, and par the man £45, and he wcu d.repay
him. After some altercation among the parties, and the
gentleman believing Vie sharper to be a groan] of Sir W.
M. Stanley's, he was iiidueed to advance the money,
which the other sharper fingered, and then bolted with
his arcemp'ice, leaving the .geutletnan to make the best
he could of a hors, worth only a few pounds. Tile sharners
had tried the trick on several gentlemen, under various
pretences, hut without succet.s, and it is thought that they
are the same parties who tried the same game in Liver-
pool on Tuesday last. The fortunate purchaser has since
been roasted almost to death about his bargain, and feels
the more moritied at his own verdure as precisely the
same trick was played at the fair last year.

•
IN QU ESTS. Four inquests were held before the borough
coroner on Tuesd•ty. 'file first was on the body ut John
Guy, a child, thirteen weeks old, son of a cart owner, in
Preston-street, who died from the congestion of the lungs.
Tne second was on the body of James Brown, who acci-
dentally fell a few days since from a pile of cotton in a
warehouse in Carleton-street. and died in consequence of
the injuries in the Northern Hospital. Toe third was on
the body of a Mrs, Harper, who, whilst washing clothes
at a publican's house became suddenly ill, fell upon the
floor, and died almost instantaneously of disease in the
heart. The fourth was on the body of a child picked up
in St. Paul's church-yard, in a s ate of decomposition.
Verdicts in accordance with the evidence were returned in
the several cases. On Thursday, on the body of the in-
fant daughter of Evan .Vaughan, of Meadows-street. The
deceased was found dead in the cradle, death having been
caused by convulsions. Verdict accordingly. On the
body of William Collaton, the infant child of Patrick
Collator), of Dawson-street, who accidentillv ill under
the wheel of a cart in Houghton-street, on Wednesday-
The evidence went to show that no blame attached to the
driver, and the jury returned a verdict of accidental death.

CAUTION TO CAR-DRIVERS.—On Saturday, a man,
named John Egerton was brought before Mr. Theodore
Rathbone, on a charge of having embezzled a parcel con-
raining some small articles, the property of Mr. Gebrge
Wainwright, merchant, of this town. Mr. Wainwright
stated that he had landed from the Achilles, steamer,
at one o'clock the day before, and had engaged a car, at
the Clarence Dock, to take him to his office, in Dale-
street. He put into the car a box, a coat, and the parcel
in question ; and. on arriving in Dale-street, he jumped
out in a hurry, told the driver to carry the luggage into
the office, and paid him .Is. 6d., the amount of the fare.
Immediately after he missed the parcel; and, after a good
deal of troub'e, he discovered the car. The prisoner
who appeared to be the driver, but who was not the. per-
son that had driven from the Clarence Dock to Dale-st, eat,
denied all knowledge of the parcel; but, ater having been
threatened with the consequences, he promised to find
the actual driver, who was a person of the name of Miller,
and with that view, took Mr. Wainwright to an adjoining
public-house, where, instead of asking for Miller, he told
the servant to bring him the parcel. It was accordingly
brought ; nothing WNS stolen out of it, but it had evidently
been opened. Mr. Rathbone said the case was one of
.considerable suspicion, but that, as there was want of evi-
dence to bring home the felonious intent, the prisoner
should be discharged with a caution as to his future
I conduct.

WHOLESALE PLUNDERING.—James Partridce, a young
man in the employ of Mr. Jones, draper and mercer, Old
Haymarket, was charged, at the Police court, on Thurs-
day, with having plundered his employer to an extensive
amount. It appeared that the prisoner had been in Mr.
Jones's employ about nine months, during which time he
had hail the management of one dep rtment of the busi-
ne sof the establishment. The prisoner bad represhated
to his employer that he was residing in a private house in
Mount-pleasant; but on Tuesday, Mr. Jones received
information that he lived in Scolind-road, and that his
wife kept a millinery shop. For some time past, Mr.
Jones had missed a great quantity of goods ; and in con-
sequence of seeing pieces of ribbons and other articles of
which the prisoner bad the control in other than their
usual places, and froM the information he had received as
to his residence and his wife's calling. he was induced to
put a watch over the prisoner's conduct, and on Tuesday
two of the assistants in the shop marked a roll of ribbon,
and cut from it a piece, in a peculiar -way ; the roll. was
then placed in a drawer, and after the prisoner had left
the shop at night, it was found the ribbon had been taken.
Mr. Jones obtained the assistance of police-officer Lloyd,
and the prisoner's shop was searched, and goods, consist-
ing of ribbons, scarfs, lace, &c., to the value of between
£lO and £lOO, the property of Mr: Jones, were found,
amongst which was the marked roll of ribbon. The goods

found were produced in court, and identified by Mr. Jones
and his assistants ; and it was stated that they could net
by possibility have been sold, as they were not marked off
the stack. The p.isoner was committed to the sessions
f.r trial. Mr. Jones i, po.itive of having lost property to
the value of from £2OO to £250.
CH URCII or ENGLAND SCHOOL.—Recently a meeting
was held at the Bull Inn, Preston, of the friends of the
Northern Church of England School, about to be eatei
bliShed at Rossall. hall, for the education of the sons o
clergymen and other gentlemen, under the direct super-
intendence of the E,tablished Church, upon a plan nearly
similar to the Scholastic Establishment at Marlborough.
The Bishop of Chester presided, and there v:era also
present the Chancellor of the Diocese, the Archdeacon of
Manchester, and several of the clergy of the town and
neighbourhood, as well as a large proportion of the gentry
and eminent manufacturers of Preston and its vicinity.
It appears, that upwards of £5,000 has been already sub-
scribed ; and it is expected that the establishment will be
opened in the course of a very few weeks for the reception
of pupils. The resolutions will be found in our adver-
tising columns. The worshipful and Rev. Chancellor
Raikes in moving the first resolution said, " he never pro-
posed a resolution at any meeting wh;ch carried moie sa-
tisfaction to his own mind that it would meet with the
entire approbation of those to whom it was submitted.
Every clause seemed to involve in itself a point of the
greatest importance, and some point on which there could
not be a shadow of difference in opinion. (Hear.) It
stated that it was highly desirable that a school on similar
principles to the one established at Marlborough should
be established in the North ,of. England. That school
bad realised the expectations of its founders, though when
it was established the founders seemed as it were, to put
to sea without chart or compass. Its success depended
upon the merits of the plan; and it succeeded. Now
they were adopting a system which had already answered
in another place ; and seeing that the one at Marl-
borough had answered they were justified in expecting
that the corresponding school established at Fleetwood
would also succeed. There was every reason it should
do so. No doubt when Marlborough was chosen for
the situation nf the school it was on account of pos-
sessing some local advantages ; but it had also the dis-
advantage of competition, for in that part of the coun-
try there were already established many schools. When
they considered, too, the great increase in the number of
the clergy, and the impossibility of providing for_ the edu-
cation of their children in a proper manner from-their
own resources, an appeal might be made to other classes
for the support of this institution. Various societies were
supported in a most liberal way by the public. When be
looked at the great increase
and the divisions of districts according to the act of Sir
Robert Peel, be could not but anticipate great distress
among the body of the clergy, if it were not for institu-
tions of this nature. There was another feature which
could not fail to commend itself to their attention, and
that was, that the school was for others besides clergy-
men's sons. He could not but consider it honourable to
the clergy, for their sons, being educated at the school,
was a recommendation for others. Here was one of the
best securities for future character. He could state from
his own experience, when chooiling a school for his own
sons, that it was not merely the character and attainments
of the masters that were looked to, but also the character
of the families by whom children were sent to the schools.
Whatever influence was exercised by the masters, there
was an indirect but subtle and powerful influence exercised
by schoolfellows, and he was anxious to know by whom
such influence should be exercised on his children. These
schools would offer the best security for, this influence
being beneficial, when the scholars were principally the
sons of the clergy. They would carry into school those
habits of religion which characterised the clergy them-
selves, and two classes of society would reap the advan-
tages of mixing together. All ideas of separate interests
would be done away with, by making the children of the
clergy the schoolfellows of the children of the laity."
