DECI. A RATION.

We, whose names are hereunto declare our fixed
determination to maintain the tried and ancient principles on
which the constitution of our country is founded ; and we hold
ourselves pledged to resist all measures by which the necessary
connexion between the established church and the state may
be severed and relaxed; by which the dignit% of the monarchy
may be impaired, or its existence endangered; by which the
privileges of the House of Lords, as an independent branch of
the legislature, may be virtually annihilated, or the deliberative
powers of the commons' house of parliament become fettered or
controlled; as we are convinced that eu the united and ener-
getic support of these authorities depend the continuance of
social order, the security of property, and the interests of reli-
gion ; and we hereby enrol ourselves members of the conser-
vative association of Cheshire.

LIVERPOOL POLICE.

WEDNESDAY.-(Before Sir JOHN TOR!N.)

WaRRHOCSE 11013HERY.—Three men of bad character, named
Mather, Hill, and Fletcher, were placed at the bar charged
with burglarioustv entering the warehouse of Messrs. Field and
Crosstield, tobacconists, in York-street. It appeared front the
evidence that the premises of the prosecutors were left safely
secured on Thursday night last, and on the following morning
they were found to have been broken open, and £lO in silver
and copper stolen. Mather was some time since in Messrs.
Field's employ, and he and the other prisoners having been seen
lurking in the neighbourhood of the warehouse on the night of
the robbery suspicion fell upon them. They were subsequently
apprehended, when it tw•as ascertained that they had each been
purchasing new clothes. Some articles stolen from the pie-
mises were identified, and the charge being fully established,
the magistrates committed them to the sessions for trial.
Tht, cases before the magistrates for the last few days have,
principally, been void of interest.

YESTERDAY.—(Before the MAYOR.)
CHARGE OF SWINDLING.—TWO men, named Chas. M'Hnrdy,
and John Fairclough, were brought before his worship on a
charge of having obtained goods under false pretences. It ap-
peared in evidence that M llardy had gone to Mr. Jones's shop,
rn Dale-street, and ordered a large copper kettle, for which he
was to pay 135., if the kettle was sent with him to No. 4,
Grosvenor-street. Mr. Jones's boy went with him; at the door
the kettle was handed to Fairclough, and M`Hardy desired the
boy to go with him to Richmond-row, and he would pay him;
at Richmond-row he desired the boy to return to Grosvenor-
street, and ultimately he had to return minus the kettle, and
without any money. 'The kettle was afterwards found pawned
in the neighbourhood. An evening or two after, M'llaroy paid
a visit to Mr. Brown, Dale-street. and ordered a pair of decan-
ters. The% were to be sent, and the same trick was about being
played when Thursbv, the officer, pounced upon them, and took
boils into custody. The house in Grosvenor-street was found to
be quite empty. They were both committed for the sessions.
M'Hardy, it was said, was an admitted attorney.
BAREFACED BOBBERY.-011 Wednesday evening, a little
before five o'clock, a cart drove up to Mr. Thompson's ware-
house, in the presence of Mr. Robinson's warehouseman, who
noe of very heavy Sheffield goods. In a few
stood opposite, and three men lifted into it three packages, two of
Leghorn hats, and
minutes it was discovered that the place had been broken into,
and information of the robbery was given to Mr. Parlour, who
lost no time in making the necessary inquiries. He directed
Palkinsou, one of the head constables, and some of his men to
make a dash at a public-house in Gerard-street, kept be a per-
'son named Oakes. In the kitchen were found three men, named
and Bleakly, and in the back room were
which were about being consumed. The'

they were brought before his worship the Mayor, and fully iden-
tified, but as further inquiries had to he made, they were re-
, inauded.
