AMERICAN ICE.

LYNN'S WATERLOO HOTEL, RANELAGH-
STREET, LIVERPOOL.
WILLIAM LYNN respectfully calls the attention of
the Nobility, Gentry, Hotel-keepers, and others,
to this beautiful and cheap article of importation. It is
pinoSunOdsLlDeatocanxds,
isw eaigshicrif.fAroßmaso net o
CRYSTAL Two
;it Hundred
can
b e
sent to any distance, with very trifling waste, and is used
for a variety of purposes that English Ice cannot be ap-
plied to.
W. L. has imported some PROVISION SAFES from
America for the use and comfort of Private Families, the
REFRIGERATOR, or, as sometimes designated, A
MINIATURE ICE-HOUSE. This is a new and use-
ful article of furniture, rapidly coming into use in northern
and southern climes ; it is designated to keep cool and
sweet such dishes in the culinary department as are ne-
cessary to be protected from the heat of the weather during
the summer season.

The REFRIGERATOR is now considered an indispensa-
ble article in the economy of every good housewife : the
quantity of food it preserves will more than pay the cost
of the article in one year. They may be seen in operation
in their various valuable and useful purposes at the WA-
TERLOO HOTEL, and families can be supplied with them
on moderate terms.

IRELAND.

A rumour that the Queen and Prince Albert will visit
Ireland in the autumn has been revived in Dublin and
elsewhere.

THE ADARE CONSPIRACY.—At the Limerick petty
sessions on Friday, Mary Regan, whose husband was
convicted at the last assizes of conspiracy and arson on
Lord Dunraven's demesne at Adare, and sentenced to
transportation for life, was brought forward by her pa-
rents, who represented to the bench that it was her inten-
tion to commit a similar outrage, in order to be sent out
of the country with her husband. She was set at liberty
on her own recognizances to keep the peace, but she is to
be sent to America.
SCENE IN A JURY Room.—At the Cork Assizes last
week, a jury were locked up for the night to consider their
verdict in a case of horse stealing, and not being able to
agree, they retired to repose about midnight as well as
they could on the chairs with which the room was fur-
nished : but shortly afterwards one of them leaped up in
a great fury, and belaboured the rest of his companions
with the chair which he had occupied. One of them re-
ceived
a black eye, and nearly all the others were seri-
ously bruised by the blows of their enraged companion.
On the following morning they were discharged, having
come to no decision on the horse stealing case, but utter-
ing loud complaints of the knock-down reasoning to which
they had been subjected.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—At the usual weekly meeting
of this association on Monday, Mr. D. O'Connell, jun.
said—" I can state to this association, from my own know-
ledge, that when the account reached Mr. O'Connell of
the speech made by Mr. Shell, on the subject of the state
trials, he expressed his deep regret that any such speech
should have been delivered. Mr. O'Connell totally disa-
vows and repudiates the matter of that speech. He thinks
it was a highly unbecoming one, as proceeding from any
friend of his ; and he considered it anything but friendly
on the part of Mr. Sheil. I can also state that, as Mr.
O'Connell, at the close of the proceedings in the Queen's
Bench, solemnly protested against the injustice done to
him, he still continues firm in that protest." The rent
amounted to £946.

A SCENE IN COURT !—The following letter from Par-
sonstown, appears in a Tipperary paper :—" A rich scene
occurred on the bench of the Petty Sessions Court shortly
after Sir Wm. Lynar had retired. Mr. Philip Drought,
a deservedly popular magistrate, playfully applied a rod
which he had in his hand to the back of Sir Edward
Synge, who was sitting in front of him, when the Baronet
suddenly turning round, and throwing himself into a
pugilistic attitude, popped in his right and left, fibbing
Mr. Drought in a style that would have done credit to
Deaf Burke' or the Tipton Slasher.' Queer things
have sometimes been acted even on the bench, but such
an exhibition as a mill' or sparring match' has seldom
come off in a court of justice."

COLEMAN, POTTER, and GRANT beg tr) announce
to the Inhabitants of Liverpool and the Public that
they have succeeded, after repeated trials, in producing
an article identical with the Foreign Hollands of Schiedam,
possessing its mellowness and aroma, with a greater degree
of purity. The public need hardly be informed that
the extreme price, owing to the high duty of 225. 10d. per
gallon upon Foreign Hollands, has always operated against
its general use. his cause no longer exists, as C., P.,
and G. are enabled to offer their British Hollands, of the
highest legal strength, at less than half the cost of the
Foreign, namely; 16s. pet gallon, or 365. per case, con-
taining 12 bottles.
N.B.—The Trade supplied on liberal terms, and in

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

DEBTORS AND CREDITORS.—An act for facilitating ar-
rangements between debtors and creditors will come into
operation on the Ist of September next. It contains 16
sections, which, with rules, &c., are to be worked out by
the Coqrt of Bankruptcy, in addition to the two other
branches of judicature on the law of debtor and creditor.
The object of this act is to enable non-traders to apply to
the Court of bankruptcy to petition, making a full dis-
closure of their affairs with a proposal to pay their credi-
tors, on which a protection from arrest can be obtained.
It does not appear that there need be any examination if
the conduct of the applicant should be satisfactory, and
at the last meeeting a " certificategiven, as in
bankruptcy, but not to operate against the debts set forth
by the petitioner, whose application cannot, however be
entertained, unless one-third in number and value of his
creditors express their concurrence. The act is to be
construed beneficially for creditors.
THE NEW LAW FOR ABOLISHING IMPRISONMENT
FOR DEBT.—Singular and various have been the effects
of the new act. The commissioners at the City Court
of Requests refused on Saturday last to grant executions
against the bodies of debtors, notwithstanding a clause in
the act constituting the court specified that it was not to
be affected by any general act till six months after the
passing of such act. At the City Court of Requests on
Wednesday three petitions were presented to the com-
missioners from prisoners in Whitecross-street, praying
for their discharge under the new act. The name of the
first was George Grant, horse-dealer, confined for a debt
of .Z 9 19s. 6d., after about six weeks' imprisonment. The
second, Cornelius Alford Jaquin, for a debt of £6 165.,
who was unfortunately taken in execution on the Bth in-
stant., the day before tile act came into operation, but
which
ichi:.hus somewhat fortunately was passed so as to re-
lieveim so soon. The third, John Rooney, for a tally
bill
of 4 12s 5d He had been in gaol for 36 days' and
had only to remain about six days longer, when he would

Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1844-08-20

veral different times, the goods were delivered at the ware-
house of Messrs. Cook and Unsworth, where the defend-
ant occupied sotne rooms. At the latter end of the month
application was made for the payment, but the answer
was, that the goods delivered were of very inferior quality
as compared with the samples shown by the plaintiff. The
plaintiff subsequently admitted that the article was some-
what inferior to what had been shown in the sample, but
offered to take them back on certain conditions ; but the
defendant being in London, this was not acceded to, and
ultimately the present action was commenced. The de-
fence was, that the article was of an inferior quality.
The Learned JUDGE, in his summing up, explained to
the jury that the only question for their consideration was
whether the defendant, by his not having returned the
goods on finding them of inferior quality to what he had
been led to expect, had not legally accepted them. Upon
finding them bad quality he should immediately have re-
turned them; but this he bad not done. It was, how-
ever, very clear that the article had not been of such a
quality as the sample shown to the defendant, when
making the bargain; and if the jury found a verdict for
the plaintiff, they would take that fact into consideration,
and find damages only for the real value of the goods, and
not what had been specified in the original contract.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, with the de-
duction of two-and-a-half per cent. and the seven months'
loss of interest to the plaintiff;

NUISANCE.

JONES v. HIGGINSONLD—ANOTHER.—Mr. Martin
and Mr. Segar were for the plaintiff; Mr Knowles and
Mr. Cowling for the defendants. The plaintiff, Mr.
John Jones, is a publican, in Turner-street, Manchester;
the defendants, Messrs. Higginson and Lambert, carry
on business as veterinary surgeons, in premises adjacent
to two cottages in Barlow-court belonging to the plain-
tiff; and the question to be tried was whether the de-
fendants were entitled by law to convert certain cottages,
as they had done, into a hospital for horses, which the
plaintiff alleged made such a nuisance that his two cot-
tages, of the yearly value of £9, could no longer he in-
habited. After the case had been partially heard, the
parties agreed to withdraw a juror.

FORGERY AT MANCHESTER.

William Barber, 44, was indicted for having, at Man-
chester feloniously forged a certain request in writing for
the delivery of goods, with intent to defraud Edward
Deeming.
Mr. Hutton conducted the case for the prosecution ; the
prisoner was undefended.
It appeared that, on the 16th of May last, the prisoner
went to a publican named Deeming, and handed him the
following order, which purported to have been sent by his
(the prisoner's) brother-in-law :—" Please let the bearer
have two cans of tenpenny ale—Joseph Barber." While
the prisoner was in the act of drinking the ale, it turned
out that he was never authorised to get it.
There was a second indictment against the prisoner for
having forged a similar request, with intent to defraud
Edward Hooper, another publican.
He was convicted on both indictments, and sentenced
to nine calendar months' imprisonment and hard labour.

CROWN COURT.-SATURDAY.

Joseph Walton, aged 19. charged with having wounded William
Lees, at Ashton-under-Lyne, in June last, with intent to do him
some grievous bodily harm, was found guilty of a common assault
only.
Joseph Farrell, 54, was found guilty of having caused the death
of his wife, at Manchester. The prisoner and deceased had quar-
relled on the 21st of July, when some things were thrown by both
parties, after which, the prisoner struck deceased a blow on the
head, which caused her to fall on the floor, in which state she was
found by the neighbours. She died on the Ist of August in conse-
quence of the injuries. A daughter of the prisoner witnessed the
occurrence, and said that the prisoner received great provocation.
Sentence deferred.
Edward Maylett, 2d, charged with having caused the death of a
boy, named Thomas O'Donnell, by pushing him into the canal at
Manchester, on the 3d July last, was acquitted. It appeared that
the prisoner gave deceased a push, but that his fall into the canal
was the result of mere accident.

In the case of George Branscombe. charged, under three indict-
ments, with having caused the death of James M'Donald and
Bridget Hart, at Bolton, from want of due care in the management
of a steam-engine, by which the boiler unfortunately burst, the
Grand Jury cut the bill.

Thomas Butterworth, 33, charged with having entered the house
of Mr. Robinson, at Manchester, and stolen five dresses, some
jewellery, and other articles, in April last. The charge of burglary
was not made out, and a verdict of larceny against the prisoner
was returned.

William Riley, 22, and Catharine Carter, 20, were charged, the
former with having stolen certain property from the dwelling-house
of Elizabeth Dicken, of Manchester, and the latter with having re-
ceived the goods, knowing them to have been stolen. The prisoners
were found guilty Riley had been previously convicted of felony.

AMERICANISMS.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES.
The following morceaux head the political appeals of
the respective parties in the newspapers, &c. :
" Look here, ye supporters of Polk, Texas, and Free
Trade!
Here's a booming gun from the old Pennsylvania line!!!"
" Get out of the way, you James K. Polk,
You wont go down with the Tariff Folk!"
" Renunciations by wholesale—twenty-one screws loose
in old Northumberland—are there no changes ? eh?"
" They come ! they come !! clear the way !!! make
room for more !!!!
" Thirty-two straight-outs."
Make way for the free voters of Northumberland and
Point I Clear the track for the unterrified come
outers' of the Forks! Here they come, with Truth
for a Sword, and Conscience for their Buckler, in the
name of the greatest political Revolution that this little
neighbourhood has ever witnessed."

HARD RUN FOR HUSBANDS.—An exchange paper says
—" The girls in some parts of Pennsylvania are so hard
run for husbands that they sometimes take up with law-
yers and tailors."
A large lot of American oysters being carried to Lon-
don by one of the late packets, the papers made them-
selves very funny over them, saying thst of course they
would not " shell out," coming as they did from the
United States.

HER Majesty's Commissioners of Woods, Forests, and

SNUFF.—A few of the many thousand Testimonials of
Sight Restored and Deafness Cured :

Copy of a Letter.
39, Kirby-street, Hatton-garden, Dec. 26, 1842.
Sir,—l was from my childhood afflicted with dimness of sight,
and as I advanced in years became almost blind. My husband
being a medical practitioner, every oculist of any eminence was
consulted, but unfortunately without any real relief. I was re-
commended by one of my friends, although a member of the
profession, who said he had taken it for a few months with the
happiest result: he being relieved from inflammation after long
suffering, induced me to give it a trial. I have taken four 2s 4Ct
canisters, and shall continue to use it to the end of my days, for
I have derived so much benefit from using it, that I can now
read without the assistance of any kind of eye glasses. I shall
feel happy at any time to acknowledge the great cure your Eye
Snuff has made in my case. Make what use you may please of
this testimony, and remember, I am in my seventieth year, and
can read and no needlework much better than I could for the
last forty years, without any glasses.
I am, Sir, yours gratefully,
0. FOTHEROILL,
Widow of the late Dr. Fothergill.

IRELAND.

A rumour that the Queen and Prince Albert will visit
Ireland in the autumn has been revived in Dublin and
elsewhere.

THE ADARE CONSPIRACY.-At the Limerick petty
sessions on Friday, Mary Regan, whose husband was
convicted at the last assizes of conspiracy and arson on
Lord Dunraven's demesne at Adore, and sentenced to
transportation for life, was brought forward by her pa-
rents, who represented to the bench that it was her inten-
tion to commit a similar outrage, in order to be sent out
of the country with her husband. She was set at liberty
on her own recognizances to keep the peace, but she is to
be sent to America.

SCENE IN A JURY Room.—At the Cork Assizes last
week, a jury were locked up for the night to consider their
verdict in a case of horse stealing, and not being able to
agree, they retired to repose about midnight as well as
they could on the chairs with which the room was fur-
nished : but shortly afterwards one of them leaped up in
a great fury, and belaboured the rest of his companions
with the chair which he had occupied. One of them re-
ceived a black eye, and nearly all the others were seri-
ously bruised by the blows of their enraged companion.
On the following morning they were discharged, having
come to no decision on the horse stealing case, but utter-
ing loud complaints of the knock-down reasoning to which
they had been subjected.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—At the usual weekly meeting
of this association on Monday, Mr. D. O'Connell, jun.
said—" I can state to this association, from my own know-
ledge, that when the account reached Mr. O'Connell of
the speech made by Mr. Sheil, on the subject of the state
trials, he expressed his deep regret that any such speech
should have been delivered. Mr. O'Connell totally disa-
vows and repudiates the matter of that speech. He thinks
it was a highly unbecominz one, as proceeding from any
friend of his ; and he considered it anything but friendly
on the part of Mr. Sheil. I can also state that, as Mr.
O'Connell, at the close of the proceedings in the Queen's
Bench, solemnly protested against the injustice done to
him, he still continues firm in that protest." The rent
amounted to £946.

------
A SCENE IN COURT !—The following letter from Par-
sonstown, appears in a Tipperary paper :—" A rich scene
occurred on the bench of the Petty Sessions Court shortly
after Sir Wm. Lynar had retired. Mr. Philip Drought,
a deservedly popular magistrate, playfully applied a rod
which he had in his hand to the back of Sir Edward
Synge, who was sitting in front of him, when the Baronet
suddenly turning round, and throwing himself into a
pugilistic attitude, popped in his right and left, fibbing
Mr. Drought in a style that would have done credit to
Deaf Burke' or the Tipton Slasher.' Queer things
have sometimes been acted even on the bench, but such
an exhibition as a mill' or sparring match' has seldom
come off in a court of justice."
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1844-08-20

BY THE HON. G. S. SMYTHE.

The land it boasts its titled hosts ;—they cannot vie with these,
The merchants of old England,—the seigneurs of the seas,
In the days of Queen Victoria, for they have borne her sway
From the far Atlantic islands to the islands of Cathay;
And o'er one-sixth of all the earth, and over all the main,
Like some good fairy, Freedom marks and blesses her domain.
And, of the mighty emp'res that arose, and ruled, and died,
Since on the sea, his heritage, the Tyrian look'd in pride,
Not Carthage, with her Hannibal ; not Athens, when she bore
Her bravest and her boldest to the Syracusan shore,
While the words of Alcibiades yet echoed wide and far,
" Where are corn fields, and are olive grounds, the Athenian's

limits are,"
And in each trireme was many a dream of the West, and its un-

known bliss
Of the maidens of Iberia, and the feasts of Sybaris ;
Not in those younger ages, when St. Mark's fair city ran
Her race of fame and frailty—each monarch's courtezau ;
Not Lusia in her palmier hour, in those commercial days,
When Nasco sand from Calicnt, and Camoens sang his praise ;
Not Spain, with all her Indies, the while she seem'd to fling
Her fetters on the waters, like the oriental king;—
Not one among the conquerors that are or ever were,
In wealth, or fame, or grandeur, with England may compare.
But not of this our sovereign thought, when from her solemn

throne
She spoke of the poor, and what they endure, in her low and

. . . .
thrilling tone,
And offer'd a prayer that trade might bear relief through the

starving land,
To the strong man's weaken'd arm, and his wan and workless

baud;
And by the power, that was her dower, might commerce once

more be
The helper of the helpless, and the saviour of the free.
Then glory to the merchants who shall do such deeds as these,
The merchants of Old England, the seigneurs of the seas !
