shot, an ap•

mutation row, was placed before Mr. Rushton, on .Saturday,
charged with having stolen a quantity of cigars from time to
time. On Friday night he stopped all his boys, as they were
leaving the premises. They were searched, and on the pri-
soner forty-four cigars were found. He was sent to Bride-
well, where he was again searched, and ten more cigars were
discovered. He was committed for trial.

ACCIDENT ON SHIP BOARD.—On Sunday week a foreign
sailor, named Henry Gilmenz, belonging to the Amelia Hill,
lying in the Queen's Dock, while the vessel was being hauled
to her berth, received severe injuries on the head from the
handle of the winch, the rope at which happened to slip. Ile
was conveyed to the Southern Hospital, where he died, in
consequence, on Thursday. An inquest was held on
Friday, when a verdict was returned of " Accidental
Death."

STEALING COPPER.—A young man, named John Bell,
was yesterday charged, before Mr. Rushton. with stealing a
quantity of old copper, in sheets, from a warehouse in Gray-
son-street. on Saturday last. The warehouseman had locked
the gate, but the padlock had been forced, and he found the
prisoner inside, with the copper tied in a handkerchief, ready,
no doubt, for removal. It was the property of Messrs. Bibby
and Co., weighed about 301 b., and was worth Bd. a pound.
The prisoner was committed for trial at the sessions.
STREET ROBBERY.—At the Police-court, yesterday, an
ill-looking young man, named James Griffith, was charged
with this offence. Mary Evans, a decently-clad female, re-
siding in Islington, said that, about seven o'clock on Satur-
day night, she was passing up Gloucester-street on her way
home, when the prisoner came up, snatched from under her
arm a pair of new stays (produced), and ran off. She gave
the alarm, and the prisoner was secured, and the article
found upon him. The stays cost is. The prisoner was
committed for trial at the present sessions.
THE Miss SWAIN'S CONCERT.—We have just learnt,
from the advertisement in our present paper, that those very
pleasing vocalists, our townswomen, Miss and Miss May
Swain, are about to give a concert at. the Royal Assembly-
rooms, on which occasion they will be assisted by a host of
talent well calculated to do justice to the various perform-
ances. Sincerely do we commend these deserving young
ladies to the patronage of the gentry of the town and neigh-
bourhood, confident that the success with which their efforts
may be crowned will be reflected in the gratification which
tha audience will experience.—Mercury, Feb. 3.
THEFT FROM A CART.—Timothy Williams was! placed
before Mr. Rushton, on Saturday, charged with having
stolen a parcel containing seven-and-a-half yards of linsey
Woolsey, from a cart belonging to Mr. John Maycox, of
Crosby. On Saturday night week, Mr. Maycox stopped his
cart opposite St. Martin's Market. The prisoner was seen
by a boy, named Birchall, to go to the tail of the cart and
take out the parcel, with which he ran off. Information was
given to the police. On Friday last, police-officer Seymour
went to a cellar in I3ebbington-street, and there found the
Prisoner with several others. He was committed for trial.
EMIGRATION.—We understand, from well-informed per-
sons, that a large emigration of the working classes will
take place this year to the United States. Already the pas-
senger brokers are inundated with letters of inquiry, from
all parts of the United Kingdom, from parties wishing to
emigrate. Among the parties preparing to quit the country
are many spinners. A party, consisting of one hundred, are
about to emigrate together from Scotland. A. considerable
portion of this year's emigrants will proceed to New Orleans.
The Emigration to the Australiats Colcnies does not promise
to be extensive this year. The stream of emigration will run,
as usual, towasds the United States and Canada.

THE ACADIA.—This vessel was at her moorings on Sa-
turday, ready to start on her voyage to Halifax and Boston.
So violent, however, was the storm, and so agitated the river,
that several of the ferry steamers could not, early in the fore-
noon, ply. Nor dare any steamer make the attempt to carry
the passengers and the mails alongside, lest it should be se-
riously damaged, if not actually sunk, by the heavy sea.
But, even if the passengers and the mails had been on board,
it would not have been prudent for a vessel drawing so much
water to have attempted to cross the bar, on which there was
atremendous sea, after the turn of the tide. All these con-
siderations induced the agents to delay the steamer's sailing
until Sunday, when, the storm having abated, she proceeded
to sea.

DEATR BY DROWNING.—As one of the Birkenhead boats
was returning from Liverpool at half-past two o'clock on
Thursday afternoon, when opposite the Manchester basin,
the hands were in the act of hoisting the jib, and the rope
caught one of them, Joseph Bennett, between his legs and
pitched him overboard. It is evident that he must have been
severely injured, because he was an excellent swimmer, yet
he only rose once to the surface of the water, and when a
rope was thrown out to him he was unable to take hold of it.
Every effort was made by all on board the packet to save the
unfortunate man's life. The body of Bennett was found the
same evening near the spot where he sank. The deceased
had been in the employ of Messrs. Willoughby, of Birken-
haad ferry, for several years, and was a most confidential
servant.

Smoot/kn. OCCURRENCE.—On Wednesday last, two
young gentlemen, Mr. John Currie and Mr, Grenville
Hugh Pierce, went to some ponds in the neighbourhood of
Windsor to swim their dogs. One of the dogs, after he had
been a few minutes in the water, dived, and rose to the sur-
face bearing something rolled in black silk. The animal
brought the bundle to land, when Pierce, on examining it,
discovered that it was the dead body of a child. A police-
officer was called, %vim took the body to the dead-house,
where it was examined by Mr. Wood, surgeon. It was a
fuil•grown female child. At the Inquisition, on Saturday,
Mr. Wood gave it as his opinion, that the infant had lived
but a short time, and had died from debility. It had not
been thrown into the water alive, nor did it exhibit any ex-
ternal marks of violence. It had not been long in the water.

INQUEST AT TIIE WORKHOUSE.—On Saturday, an inquest
was held at the Workhouse. before Mr. Curry, on view of
the body of a child. It appeared that the infant had been
taken away from the house by its mother, on Thursday, who
carried it in one arm, and a band-box in the other. She went
to a house in Brooks's Alley, when it was discovered that
the child was dead, and was bloody about the face. The
mother was given in charge by the surgeon of the Workhouse.
It appeared that the mother, on finding her infant dead, im-
mediately went to the Parish-office, in great distress of mind,
and reported the circumstance. It was found that the child
had been suffocated, and tha4 it might have been from the
folds of the shawl. The jury returned a verdict to the effect
that death arose from suffocation, but how caused there was
no evidence to show.

• •
THEFT. FROM THE QUAYS.—George Kennedy, a boy, and
Henry Davitt, an old man, were yesterday charged at the
Police-court with stealing, on Saturday, a quantity of Indian
rubber from a parcel that was being landed from a vessel
in the Queen's Dock. They were not seen to take it, neither
could the property be precisely identified ; but police-officer
Toole saw them in the street with a basket containing it,
and followed them. They finally went into a cellar in M oor-
fields, and, on seeing the officer, threw some of it away.
There was about 141 b. of the article, and it was stated to be
worth about 9d, a pound. As they could not account for
their possession of the property, the magistrate, acting under
the new local act affecting such cases, ordered the boy to be
imprisoned for 7 days, and the man (the principal in the
theft) for 2 months,

WRECK OF THE DOURO OF LIVERPOOL.—This vessel,
registered as 400 tons burden, with a valuable cargo on
board, was totally lost, with all her crew, on the night of
Thursday last, upon the rocks at the westward of the Scilly
Islands. At an early hour on the following morning the ill-
fated vessel was discovered by some fishermen, with her mast
gone, and thrown upon the rocks upon her broadside, with
the sea making a complete breach over her. They immedi-
ately bore down to the spot, but there was no one on board
to give them the slightest information—every soul belonging
to her had perished. In the course of the morning the vessel
bumped so heavily upon the rocks that she soon went to
;Pieces, and part of her cargo came ashore. Four bodies were
vnfoashed up on the beach, which have been proved to be be-
g:irtung to the vessel. One of them is supposed to be her
unfortunate commander, Mr. Gowland, and the others his
Samen.

h IN4l7Esr.—On Saturday, an inquest was held before the
"nrough coroner on view of the body of Peter Chaddock,
Who resided in Carpenter's-row, and was master of the flat
nee. On Friday he was on the river in the vessel accompa-
nied only by his son James. The weather was very squally,
and the vessel strnck on a bank off Speke. Some time
elaphd se before she was got off. The der(:,,, d told his son
that e was hurt between the boom arid tile tiller. They
9001 d not get up to Runcorn, and the deceased died on board,
In Runcorn Gap, a short time after he said he had been
truck. The body was afterwards taken on board a steam-
boat and brought to this town. It appealed on the inquest
that there were no outward marks of violence sufficient to
account for death, and a post mortem examination took
ocerf, when it was found that death was occasioned by an
statlow of blood from the cavities of the chest, which, it
e robable, was produced by a blow or hurt such as that
The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the
deceased was accidentally killed.
;TaEiPORMATION OF SPEClE.—Specie, to a very large
onteunt, is now exporting from Liverpool to the United
s. The British and North American royal mail steamer
Bos-
ton, which sailed on the 4th ult., for Halifax and carried out above 100,000 sovereigns ; and, yesterday,
the Acadia, for the same port, had on freight not less than
00,000 sovereigns. The ordinary rate of insurance for
s_peecie in these steamers is 12s. 6d per cent., but, in conse.,
4utrnce of the large quantity going by the Acadia, and the
WeeVlelY boisterous state of the weather during the last
~the premium rose as high as to 30s, At this rate,
even, it was difficult to get insurance done on the specie, the
Underwriters being quite full of risks. The packet-ship !Ti-
de e
04 ,ndence, which sailed yesterday for New York, carried
v_ruo,ooo sovereigns on freight; and the packet-ship New
44° k, ‘vhich will sail to-morrow for the same port, will have
,j,a.rge Inamity on freight. The Great Western, too, which
.;I_ll_,leave Bristol on Saturday nex for. Madeira and New
tons exported
will carry out a large amount oft pecie. The sovereigns
,Ins exported are, it is supposed, chiefly intended for opera-
in bills of exchange.

JUNIOR CLUB.—Tbe first general meeting of the mem-
bers of this club took place on Wednesday evening last, at
the Brunswick Hotel, Hanover-street, which was nume-
rously and respectably attended. After a detailed outline
of the objects of the club having been gone through, it was
deemed highly satisfactory ; the numbers who have already
put down their names being considerable, the club was con-
sidered as formed. A committee of gentlemen was formed
for the first year. We commend the gentlemen of Liver-
pool in carrying out the formation of this club ; and we only
wonder, the many advantages it will embrace over any other
institution in this town, that the applications for shares were
not ten times as many. Its merits will be the best test ; and
we shall be greatly disappointed if it does not in a few years
rival any of our older institutions.--From a Correspondent.

WRECK.—The George, of Belfast, Patton, master, laden
with cotton, from New Orleans, and bound for Liverpool,
was struck by a heavy sea, on Sunday night, the 29th ult.,
between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, and driven,
by a strong southerly gale, on Life Island, about two miles
eastward of Lettermullin, on the western coast of Galway,
where she has become a total wreck. The master and crew
were saved, with the exception of a little boy, who, in endea-
vouring to escape, was washed away and seen no niore. Ten
or twelve bales of the cotton are, at present, deposited in the
custom-hose at Galway, and the entire bay is dotted with it.
The inhabitants of and about Life Island committed on the
vessel the greatest plunder, and even a knife was presented
to the throat of the second mate, whilst striving to resist
being deprived of his clothing.
EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW P.AILWAY.—A meeting of
the Lancashire shareholders of the Edinburgh and Glasgow
Railway, called by Mr. Nicol, one of the directors, was held
last Thursday, at the Clarendon-rooms, on the subject of
the proposed extension of the line to the north bridge in
Edinburgh. Mr. Nicol was unanimously requested to take
the chair, and, after explaining the object for which the meet-
ing had been convened, read the report of Mr. Miller, the
engineer, which stated that the probable cost would be under
£70,000, together with letters from Mr. Learmouth, the
chairman of the board of directors at Edinburgh, Mr. Buck-
ley, the resident director at Manchester, Mr. Sandford, the
chairman of the Edinburgh, Leith, and Newhaven railway,
Mr. Hamilton, the deputy chairman of the Edinburgh and
Glasgow Railway, and resolutions passed by the Magistrates
and Provost of Leith, in council assembled, giving strong tes-
timony in favour of the projected undertaking. Resolutions,
founded on those adopted by the Manchester shareholders in
favour of the extension, provided the Edinburgh, Leith, and
Newhaven Company should be prepared to co-operate by the
completion of their line, were ultimately passed, and the
meeting separated.

THE DISPENSARIES.—On Friday last, a meeting of the
subscribers to these valuable charities was held in the office,
Fenwick-street. The president (J. Rigby, Esq.) opened the
business of the day, and read a letter from Lord Stanley,
accepting the office of president for the ensuing year. The
Rev. Cyrus Morrall read the report, which stated that the
dispensaries were in debt no less a sum than £1,092 75.,
although a strict economy had been exercised, and a large
amount had been received in donations and legacies. Many
subscriptions had been lost by death and other causes. The
report particularly alluded to the loss of £420 formerly sub-
scribed by the parish, and showed, in forcible terms, that the
withdrawal of that amount, and the appointment of surgeons
by the parish, had not been beneficial to the parishioners,
and very disastrous to the poor. The report concluded by
" strongly urging upon their fellow-townsmen an increase in
the number of subscriptions, and upon those subscribers who
can afford it, an increase upon their present contributions."
Total number of patients relieved, 1,342: North, 24,153;
South, 22,375 ; total, 46,528.

Mr. Alison moved the adoption of the report, which was
carried unanimously.—The Treasurer read a statement of the
accounts, from which it appeared that the subscriptions in
1841 amounted to £2,333 6s. 6d., and the new subscriptions
to £159 19s. 6d., making a total of £2,493 6s.—The Rev.
C. Morrall wished to correct an erroneous notion which pre-
vailed, that the dispensaries were influenced by political feel-
ing. Nothing was further from the truth.—James Mulleneux,
Esq., said, that during the last ten years he bad been the con-
stant and uniform advocate of the dispensaries, and he was
extremely sorry to state that he had of late years been very
indifferently supported. The dispensaries, in point of utility
and general excellence, were certainly not inferior to any
other of the valuable institutions in the town. The best
proof of their utility consisted in the fact of their relieving,
annually, upwards of 50,000 patients. He regretted the
withdrawal of the parish subscription of £450, which com-
pelled them to send from the doors of the dispensaries many
poor creatures labouring under severe disease. They were
obliged to send to the parish all applicants who had any claim
upon it. This was not the whole extent of the evil. Many
persons sought relief from the dispensaries who did not re-
ceive it from the hands of the pariah. He hoped that the
parish would renew their subscription, otherwise the dispen-
saries would, in all probability, have to be closed, and an ex-
pense of at least £4OOO a year would be thrown upon the
parish to supply to the poor the medicines which the dis-
pensaries supply.—A vote of thanks was passed in favour of
Mr. Rigby, for his services as president during the past year,
and a similar compliment was paid to the committee.
SEIZURE OF UNWHOLESOME MEAT AT THE PUBLIC
MARKETS, &C.—A PRACTICE HITHERTO ACTED UPON BY
MARKET-LOOKER AND JURY, DECLARED BY THE MAGIS-
TRATE TO BE CONSTITUTIONALLY WRONG.—Yesterday, at
the Police-court, a case was gone into, by adjournment from
Saturday, relating to the seizure of some pork in St. Martin's
Market, and its being declared to be unwholesome by a jury
of three butchers who have standings there, one of whom
was absent on the first hearing, and now appeared. The
butcher from whose stand the meat had been taken com-
plained that that juryman had said to his boy that the pork
was rneasled, and produced a leg of it to show that it was not.
The juryman said that the boy (after the investigation) had
asked him what was the result, and that his reply was, " It is
condemned; it smells, and it is measled." Mr. Rushton
.here inquired as to this peculiar disease in pigs, from which
it was considered that the meat was unwholesome, and was
told by the witness, Mr. Grose, the superintendant of the
market, and others, that the disease did not always affect the
whole carcass, but chiefly the shoulders and under the tongue.
The leg produced, the juryman said, did not appear to be af-
fected by it, but he would not swear it was wart of the beast ;
they had only seized what was on the stand at the time.
Mr. Rushton said that the defendant, from whom the meat
had been taken, complained that he had not been admitted to
hear what the jury had to say on the investigation, and to
defend himself. Mr. Grose said that he had refused to ad-
mit hlm , as he did all other parties on like occasions, lest they
might interfere with the jury. Mr. Rushton said that every
accused person had a right to be present, and to cross-exa-
mine the jury if he thought fit. Mr. Grose said he had pur-
sued the system of excluding the accused parties in such cases
for seven years, as he found great inconvenience from admit-
ting them to sway or molest the jury. Mr. Sharp, from whom
the meat had been taken, said that the witness, (the juryman)
was never bred to the business of a butcher, and was not a com-
petent judge. The witness said he had been in the business for
fourteen years. Mr. G rose said that if the accused parties were
admitted there would be a difficulty in finding ajury to act, as
they were generally abused by those whose meat was seized.
He had, on this account, sent cases to other markets. Mr.
Rushton said that exchanging the cases in the markets would,
perhaps, be beneficial, but he had no power to make such a
regulation. An application on the subject might be made to
the Market Committee. He was also of opinion that the
jury had given a right opinion as to the badness of the pork
in question, but he did not think they had used proper and
legitimate caution in condemning it. They had not ad-
mitted the accused to their conference, to which he (Mr.
Rushton) considered he had a right, in common with all
accused parties in this country, and he should, there-
fore, not feel justified in inflicting a fine.—A man, who
gave his name as Saxon, but whose real cognomen is
Mitchell, was then fined 40s. and costs for exposing 93Ibs.
of unwholesome beef. He was stated to be a regalar " slink"
butcher, of the lowest class, and in default was committed
for one month. Two other parties, who had each exposed a
blown calf's head in St. John's Market, had the respective
atricle forfeited.

THE HOAX MATRIMONIAL.—" The course of true love
never did run smooth," by this time, says one Mr. Edwin
Horatio Tittlebatt, or some other young man of good ap-
pearance, answering to the initials E. 11. T., .who had an-
nounced his intention of " taking to himself a wife," among
the advertisements of " Wanted" which appeared in the
columns of one of our contemporaries of Saturday week.
This advertisement described the young man as of good ap-
pearance and respectability, twenty-four years of age, and
possessed of property in Manchester. The lady " wanted"
was to be the exact counterpart of the gentleman as to
personal attractions, and her " means" to be similar to his.
Ladies answering this advertisement were assured that they
might depend upon both " secrecy and honour ;" and little
did poor Mr. Tittlebatt dream of the trick about to be played
him in Warrington, " Some evil disposed person or per-
sons," at present unknown, had the malice to send Mr. Tit-
tlebatt one of the sweetest billet doux he ever received. The
citing, the paper, the scented wax, and, lastly, the little
Cupid on the seal, convinced him that he was not long to re-
main a bachelor, and that at least one heart returned the
" gentle passion." The note, amongst other matters, hinted
that an interview would be desirable, and at once appointed
the Corn Market, Warrington, as the place, at the hour of
six o'clock on the evening of Monday last. By way of dis-
tinction, Mr. Tittlebatt was to walk just under the gas pillar,
and to carry a white handkerchief in his hand. The lady was
to wear a particular-coloured bonnet, and her dress was
otherwise so minutely described in the letter, as to leave no
doubt on the matter. Mr. Tittlebatt was true to his appoint-
ment: as the town-clock struck six, he took his station imme-
diately under the gas light, pulled out his white handkerchief,
arranged his collar, and buttoned the lower button of his new
Taglioni, His " lady love," however, came not ; and, by-
and-by, when he had almost exhausted his stock of excuses
for her absence, in lieu of her, out came, from sundry of the
neighbouring taverns, a whole host of wags, who gave our
hero three hearty cheers. The truth at once flashed on his
mind ; he had become the dupe of others, and had made a
foolish and useless journey to Warrington. Finding the true
state of the case, beat once took to his heels, and, chased by
his hoaxers, ran a sharp race down Bridge-street. Whether
he threw himself into the Mersey, or returned to Manchester
a wiser man than he came, we know not ; but it is hoped,
that, as experience keeps a dear school, and fools will learn
at no other, he will profit in after life by the practical lesson
he received.—Manchester Guardian.

House of Lords, just before its rising, that on Tuesday, the
14th of February, he should move the thanks of the house,
in certain resolutions, to the naval and military officers and
men engaged in her Majesty's service China ; " and on
Thursday, the 16th, he should move the thanks of the
house to the Governor-General and officers and troops con-
cerned in the military operations in the East Indies." The
notices are thus entered on the minutes of the proceedings
