PROTESTANT OPERATIVE MEETING.

A meeting of the above association was held at the Portico,
Newington, on Tuesday evening last. The room was thronged
long before eight o'clock. Mr. Crisp having been called to
the chair, congratulated his operative friends and brethren
who had met in such numbers, that their staunch and true
Protestant friend, Mr. James Parker, had jnst entered the
room, and would shortly address them. He also congratulated
them that their zeal in the good old cause of Protestant as-
cendancy was unabated. He thanked those who had taken
books and collected funds for supporting the operations of
the society. lie could not help reminding them that they had
allowed a cl!sgrace to come upon them, by quietly submitting
to a proposition made at a late meeting at the Amphitheatre,
to raise money to build a mass-house expressly for thr Jesu-
its. Did not every man present know that the Jesuits were
au illegal body? No Jesuit could honestly and legally remain
in this country unless registered ; still we find Mr.
Shiel saying, " he was assured that the re-establishment of
the society of Jesuits would tendmuch to accelerate the pro-
gress of Catholicity, which had only to be known to be em-
braced." And yet Mr. Shiel would not declare himself to
be a Jesuit. In fact, he did not know who did ; otherwise,
humble individual as he was, if backed by the friends before
him, he would at once lay an information against them, whe-
ther priest or layman. Was it in the Gunpowder Plot, and
in every other plot against our glorious constitution, that the
Jesuits have been so very useful ?—for they have been at the
bottom of nearly every one of them. Was it for their use-
fulness that they were banished from France, Spain, Portu-
gal, Venice, Naples, England, and every ether country in
which they had been established ? No, it was for their dia-
bolical and internal treachery. We were now pointed at by
our friends from all parts of the country, for our apathy on
this point; and it was time that we should be moving in the
matter. He would not, however, trespass further on their
time at present, but at once call upon Mr. James Parker.
Mr. PARKER expressed his great pleasure in meeting such
a body of his operative townsmen, for whom he felt the
greatest regard. It would ever be his wish to do all in his
power to support the Protestant cause, whether in or out of
the council. After giving a very animated description of the
late proceedings on the school question, Mr. Parker sat
down, trusting that as he had been so suddenly called upon,
they would excuse his few brief remarks.
The CHAIRMAN said, that -perhaps an apology was due
from him for so suddenly calling upon Mr. Parker, but he
was sure none of their friends present would now consider it
necessary, as they had heard such a truly sound Protestant
speech; and as we were shortly to be called upon to replace
some of our town councillors, they could not do better than
take the specimen before them as a pattern.
Mr. GLEAVE then moved the following resolution :
" That the thanks of this meeting be presented to the Rev.
Joseph Baylee, for his firm, temperate, and Christian-like
letter, again accepting the challenge given by Dr. Butler to
meet the Protestant clergy in discussion." The speaker
dwelt at some length upon the various errors of the church
of Rome. and was exceedingly happy in some of his illustra-
tions. He plainly pointed out that there could be but a right
and a wrong, and no middle course; but that Popery pro-
pound a middle course in many of her articles.
Mr. MEREDITH seconded the resolution, commenting
upon the offence which his remarks at the late meeting had
given to the editor of the Mercury, but as he was not likely
to please the Mercury to-night whatever he did, he might as
well go at once to his work. He then gave a description of a
number of the most ridiculous traditions of the Church of
Rome, and challenged any Romanist present to gainsay their
belief in them. He also alluded to the runaway Dr. Butler,
who made a great fuss about challenging the Protestant
clergy to discussion, but when one of them came forward the
learned chamberlain declared him to be incompetent, or was
not himself forthcoming. The speaker again held up some
of the crosses, relics, and other idolatrous articles of the
Romish church.

Mr. BOURKE, of Achill, shortly addressed the meeting,
and

After a few brief remarks from the Chairman, the meeting
joined in the doxology, end separated.

POLICE COURT-WEDNESDAY.

CURIOUS CASE-ALLEGED THEFT BY A POLICE-OFFICER.

William Dodd, an officer in the police-force of this town,
No. 191, was placed at the bar yesterday, charged with
having, while on duty, robbed a gentleman of his watch and
breast-pin.

Mr. bowling stated that the prisoner was accused of having,
while on duty, robbed a gentleman holding a respectable
situation in this town. The gentleman stated that he was
much intoxicated. He was taken to bridewell, where the
keeper of the station-house and the inspector, seeing that he
was a respectable person, desired the officers to pass him
home. An individual, who was said to be a respectable man,
saw the theft committed, and this was the only evidence that
could be brought forward, save the fact that the gentleman
had lost his watch and pin, and that his watch-guard was
found on the ground in the vicinity of the spot where the
robbery was alleged to have been committed.
The prosecutor stated that he was out from eight till twelve
o'clock on Monday night last. He had no recollection of
what took place after lie left the house at which he had been
drinking, at twelve o'clock, he was so much intoxicated. He
had with him a watch, which was attached by the guard pro-
duced. The guard had been cut. It had a gold clasp on it,
which had been taken off. He missed his watch next morn-
ing. It was a silver lever. He did not recollect being taken
home. He lost his breast-pin and ivory tables as well as his
watch:

Charles Davis, boattnaker, 3, Tvrer-street, stated that on
Monday night last he was at work, and he continued so till
close upon one o'clock on Tuesday morning. About one he
went.to bed. He had been in bed a minute 'when he heard
'itt police-officer taking a drunken man. He knew him to be
a police-officer by his foot. He heard them pass the win-
dow and go down (fall) nearly at the back door, a little fur-
ther on. All was then quiet, so quiet that he suspected all
was not right. He heard the police-officer say, " Jack,
Jack," and make use of a tone indicative of some slight per-
plexity. Witness said to his wife, " All is not right," and
he got up and opened the window softly, when he saw the
police-officer going back a yard or so, and looking at some-
thing which he had in his hand, which he put in his coat
pocket. The officer then went to the man, who was on the
ground, caught hold of him, put his hand into his pocket,
and took something out of it which he put into his own
trousers pocket. He then began to call the prostrate man
" Jack ;" told him to rise, and said it was a shame for him
to be lying there at that time in the morning. The officer
had the man's stock in his hand. He went to put it on,
when the man put out his arm and struck at the officer, say-
ing, " None of your nonsense." The officer said, " I only
want to put your stock on." He tried to get the man up,
but found it difficult he was so tipsy, and he saw that the
officer was tipsy too. Not being able to get the man up, the
officer said, " D—n you, I'll leave you," and then he went
along by himself to go into Houghton-street. His back wis
then towards witness. He stopped opposite next door to his
(witness's) house, took something from his pocket which he
looked at for a second or two, when he returned it to his
pocket. Witness did not see what It was. The officer then
met a girl at the corner, and said, " Is it not time for you to
go home ?" He appeared familiar with her.' lie walked a
little with her, and whispered something to her a minute,
when the girl went straight across to the man who was pros-
trate. The girl lifted his head up, and was in the act of
putting her hands into his pocket when witness called to
her. He said, " You had better leave that man alone, for the
police-officer has been ransacking his pockets, and he has
sent you to take the blame." She said if that were the case
she had better cut. She went away, and he saw nothing more
of her. The officer came down a minute after, and looked
towards the drunken man, but did not go near him. He
merely looked anti returned back. About five minutes after
wards he again came towards the prostrate man, and asked
him to rise, calling him "Jack." He pulled him about, but
could not get him up. He did not call for any assistance,
but left him and went up Houghton street. About five to
seven minutes afterwards he again came back. He was then
speaking to some one, but witness could not see who it was.
He again turned back, and again returned, and went to the
man and tried to get him up. He could not succeed. He
then struck his stick, and witness heard a stick answer in the
direction of Church-street. The officer did not reply imme-
diately, but struck again lightly some time after. There was
an answer again, an he again struck lightly, and his stick
sounded as if it were cracked. Two officers then came up
and asked him what was the matter. He said it was a drunken
man whom he had had there this half hour, and he could not
stir him. One asked where he lived. The first officer said
he did not know. They then said they would take him to
bridewell. They did so. Another came up and spoke to one
who had remained, asking what was the matter. He replied
it was a drunken man. Oh," said he, " they should have
kept him till I came ; I'd soon ha' sobered him." Witness
then spoke, saying, " the police-officer ought to ha' gone to
bridewell instead of the man, for he had rummaged his
pockets." Witness knew by the dress and stick that it was
an officer. Never saw him before. He had not a top. coat
or cape on. Saw his number and buttons, but could not
identify him by them. It was light : the moon gave a bright
light.
Richard Bradshaw, police-officer, stated that, on Monday
night last, he was on duty next beat to the prisoner. He
was at the corner of the Haymarket when he heard a knock-
ing. lie answered it and ran. He heard the knock repeated.
As he passed the square, No. -199 stood there, and they
stopped a moment to ascertain the probable direction of the
signal. The knock was repeated, and they ran in the direc-
tion of Houghton-street and soon came up to where the pri-
soner was.
Witness said, " What's up ?" The prisoner re-
plied, " A man drunk:" " Where does he live?" asked
witness, " I don't know," said the prisoner. The man was
then seated on the foot-walk with his legs in the channel.
It was agreed that they should take him to bridewell.
Officer 504 assisting. They
did not hear any, person in
Tyrer-street. Witness did not see any person looking at the
window. It was very light. The moon was very bright.
Police-officer 499 stated, that he heard the knocking of
the stick and met the last witness in the square as stated.
He remained in Tyrer-street after the prisoner and the other
had gone with the man to bridewell, and he heard a voice
say, " The policeman ought to be taken to bridewell himself,
for be has been rummaging the man's pockets." The man
who spoke said, a woman came afterwards and rummaged
them likewise, but he told her that the policeman had been
before her, upon which she said, " Then I'd better cut." He
said lie had been watching the policeman for half an hour.
Police-officer 308 deposed to having been sent to assist the
prisoner in taking the gentleman home. When they were
taking him into the house, the woman remarked that he had
lost his watch and his breast-pin. His pocket was examined
and his money was found there. Witness made some remark
to the prisoner to the effect that suspicion would probably
fall on him, but he repelled the notion, saying he never had
done such a thing,—never would. He said he would take
witness to the spot where he found the man lying. He did
so, and there-they found the guard-chain of the watch.
The gentleman said the guard was fastened by, a gold clasp
which had been torn off.
At the request of Mr: Davenport, who appeared for the
prisoner, the stick which the prisoner used was produced.
It was a sound stick. It was also proved by sufficent testi-
mony that the prisoner was the worse for liquor on the mor-
ning in question.
Mr. Davenport thought there was no evidence which affect-
ed the prisoner, as Davis did not identify him as the person
who committed the robbery. Mr. Davenport spoke of the
prisoner as possessing an excellent character.
The prisoner having been asked what he had to say, gave
an account of the mode in which he spent his time, showing
that, if his account could be relied on, and if he performed
his duty as it was laid down for him, he could not have been
at the spot named by Davis. He said he found the man
there and took off his stock and put it on again, after which
he knocked for assistance.
Mr. Rushton said he was of opinion that the prisoner must
be acquitted, and that he left the court without imputation.
Mr. Rushton said it was impossible that the prisoner could
have been at the spot at the time mentioned by Davis. If
the prisoner had been guilty he would never have taken the
officer to the very spot where he would find the watch-guasd
to furnish evidence against himself ; and moreover, if he bad
robbed the man of his watch, he would never have left his
money in his pocket. There were other considerations which
induced him to believe that the prisoner was innocent.
The prisoner was discharged.

A scientific expedition, undertaken with the aid and under
the direction of the Academy of Sciences of St. Petersburgh,
on the point of leaving the Russian capital, on an exploration
of the extensive region of Siberia comprised between the
rivers Pjasida and Chatangt and the Icy Sea, which has never
yet been trodden by the foot of Man. M. Widdendorf, a
professor of zoology in the university of Kiew, was to direct
the expedition, and had received for that purpose a gift of
13,0(10 rubles from the Emperor.

EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS.

We continue our notice of the exhibition.

No. 37. Scene from the " Vicar of Wakefield." T. M.
Joy.•—Au interesting picture—the groups well conceived;
the male figure cleverly painted.

40. The Lake of Albano. W. Linton, Lodge-place, Re-
gent's Park. Mr. Linton, we believe, is a Liverpool man :
we may be proud of him ; he is indefatigable in his art ; he
has produced many fine works ; the picture of " Jerusalem,"
of which a splendid engraving has been published, is a noble
effort ; in sublimity it is quite equal to Martin : in poetic
feeling it may be called " Miltonian." Mr. Linton's pic-
tures do him honour living, and will be highly esteemed
when he has " departed to that bourne from whence no
traveller returns." The " Lake of Albano" is one of the
pictures painted by the artist durinc, his late tour through
Italy. The lake is transparent and calm, reflecting the
pure skies above—the atmosphere is clear—the distance
beautifully painted. This is a very clever picture.
42. The Death of Gelert. Thomas Crane, 12, Maryland-
street.—Mr. Crane is one of the artists of this town, who
is decidedly rising in his profession ; there is a manifest im-
provement in his works since last year. In the " Death cf
Gelert," he exhibits a full appreciation of the touching in-
cident suggesting his picture—the expression of grief and
surprise in the face of Llewellyn—the mute eloquence of the
wounded dog, with " a look more in sorrow than in anger,"
and the smile of the innocent child are all cleverly depicted.
The child is a charming figure. This is a good picture.
43. Rydall Hall. W. Havell. Here we find Mr. Havell
indulging in gloom and twilight, verging more into a chrome-
like darkness, than in his usual sunny effects.
46. Devotion. J. Mott, Kirkdale-road, Everton.—Mr.
Mott has had an eye upon the old masters. Phis picture is
a very successful production. It represents an old nun
absorbed in the contemplation of a book. The drapery is
well painted ; the folds broad and massy.
48. The Lost Child. Philip Westcott, 46, Church-street.
—A painful subject. The colours dark and smoky. It is
not without merit.

50. The Ballad. M'lnnes. Mr. Daniel M'Clise has
much to answer for; he has his own sins andjerrors—on
canvas—of course, and is chargeable with having a host of
imitators. Depend upon it, some hundred years hence
M'Clise will have his name written, by some "cunning
Isaac " of a picture dealer, on many a piece of canvas that
never saw the light of his studio, or felt the touch of his
vigorous pencil. He is the founder of a new style—a style
that is a very flashy taking one; his bright colours, lovely
faces, gaiety and freshness, are captivating enough ; and his
imitators know it. The picture we now contemplate is, to
a certain extent, an imitation of M'Clise, and Mr. Whines
evidently makes him his model. Now we are on the subject,
we may as well step on a little bit, and here notice,
150. Scene from " The Devil on Two Sticks." Chap. 8.
A. Egg.—This is purely M'Clisian. Drawing, composition,
colouring, faces, gowns, hair, necks, head-dresses,—all
thoroughly an egg-regious imitation. The male figures may
not be perhaps so like M'Clise, but the two girls,—the mid-
dle one especially, is "an identity." Her face is a copy, a
palpable copy, from—we were going to name one—we may
say out of any one of his works. This is a picture that will
some day be sold as a M'Clise—as any of the servile imi-
tations of the old masters are now palmed off upon the un-
wary
as veritable " Simons Pares,"—when they are only
" pleasant fictions." Such copyism is contemptible. Mr.
Egg, to produce so clever a painting—for clever it is,—can
boast of a better haleh-ievement.
51. A Merry Heart and Laughing Eyes. W. S. P.
Henderson.—What this title has to do with the picture we
know not. Before us appears a great, vulgar, coarse wo-
man, who seems complacent and gracious after a loving cup,
the taking of which, from the redness of her ladyship's nose, we
should pronounce to be " her custom i' the afternoon." The
eyes, so far from being " laughing," appear rather opthalmic
than otherwise, and the sooner the owner of them goes to
see Mr. Neil, at the Institution, in Mount-pleasant, the bet-
ter. Quarles shows us the heart in the illustrations of his
poems : we see:literally no heart in this tableau.
51. The Smugglers' Cave. E. W. Cooke.—A good pic-
ture. Rocks are difficult things to paint.
57. Source of the Old Man's Hope. T. F. Marshall,
(37, Russell-street).—A. quiet interior—an old man reading
his bible. Cleverly painted.
60. A Serande. Daniel M'Clise, R.A.—This picture
excites a great deal of attention; multifarious have been, and
daily are the opinions expressed upon it. That they mostly
differ is no disparagement, but rather a species of indirect
praise. Some people say one thing of it—some another—they
like it, or they dislike it—but let us describe it. On the left
is a balcony, appertaining to what George Robins would
call a "spacious mansion." In it are two handsome
females—one the mistress, the other the maid. Under the
balcony is a pot of oranges, stuck upon a myrtle tree—for
orange tree it is not, and nothing like one. In the middle
of the picture, carelessly lolling on a sort of bridge, may 1:e
noticed a cavalier, a dashing, jovial, red-faced, devil-may-
care looking fellow playing on a splendid guitar ; from the
bridge is suspended a rope ladder; on one of the steps a
swarthy attendant on the youth is seen grinning at the do-
mestic; in the back a range of palaces fades into the deep
blue sky; a gondola below the bridge shows the locality of
the adventure. Our opinion is that the picture is one replete
with beauties and mannerisms—faults and merits—it is a true
M'Clise, and if amateurs are willing to put up with the ble-
mishes, which we admit we gladly are, it may be pronounced
as a picture deserving a place in any collection. It appears
to us to be the only work deserving the prize this year,
except one, a water colour, by Mrs. Seffarth, (which we be-
lieve is not admissable to the honour) which richly deserves
it—but of it anon.

63.' Portrait of the Rev. Hugh 211Weile. George Patten,
A.R.A.—Tbe melancholy attempt to be sarcastic of a very
vulgar contemporary on the subject of this picture has been
spuitietl.even.,by journals of its own unhappy tone of poli-
tics. Its remarks are only fit to be laughed at. They do not
say much for the taste of the writer. Mr. Patten has been
eminently successful in this portrait ; he has caught the ex-
pression of the rev. gentleman's face most happily. The
picture is beautiful as a work of art, and admirable as a like-
neSs.

68. 11 Condottiero. E. M. Ward.—A clever picture. The
stern look of the mailed figure is worthy of the old masters.
73. View in Patterdale. D Williamson, (Lower Mersey
View, Bootle.) This artist has two other works-226 and
227. They are all painted in his usual hazy manner—the
colours unnatural.
86. The Watering Place. T. Sidney Cooper.—This is a
charming picture by a clever artist. Cooper is the Cuyp of his
day. This group of cattle partake very much of that great
master's spirit and excellence.
88. Benledi. Miss B. Nasmyth.—An exquisite landscape,
and sweetly painted. The Nasinyth's have several good pic-
tures hanging around.
99. The Dilatory Cobbler. T. F. Marshall (Russell-st).
—A quiet bit of quiet humour well told.
93. Christ and the Woman y Canaan. J. S. Agar.—Mr.
Agar has studied the Bolognese School very closely, or he
would not have chosen the colours prevalent in all works of
the Carracci, the Serani, &c. The back ground is badly
worked out, the picture wants depth. If a halo floated round
the head of the Saviour, as shown in this picture, would it
not have illuminated rather than obscured the stone wall at
the back of Christ's head? Although, decidedly, possessing
some beauties, it has sad defects. Two of the apostles are
seen at the left of the picture, the woman kneeing in the
centre. The Saviour stands on the right.
94. Portrait of Lord Stanley. T. H. Illidge (46, Ber-
ners-street, London).—Mr. Midge, we believe, is rapidly
rising in London in his profession. This portrait of Lord
Stanley, painted for the Collegiate Institution, will do his
fame no detriment. It is a very good likeness, besides being
excellently painted.

97. Finfil Bridge. F. R. Lee, R.H.A.—A clever land-
scape, broadly painted.

,
REVISION OF THE REGISTRY OF VOTERS FOR
MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT.

Wednesday having been the first day appointed for hearing
the several objections which had been lodged against persons
as not being entitled to have their names retained in the list
of those qualified to vote in the election of members for the
borough of Liverpool, Messrs. Wilkinson and Greig, the
barristers appointed for the purpose, entered the Nisi Prius
Court shortly after eleven o'clock. It was then arranged
that Mr. Wilkinson should sit in the Nisi Prius Court for
the purpose of taking the freemen, and that Mr. Greig
should sit in the Grand Jury-room and take the house-
holders. The business transacted during the day was light
and unimportant. Mr. Moss appeared for the conservatives,
and Messrs. Snowball and Berry for the radicals. The
claimants amounted only to eighteen in number. The ob-
jections numbered 555, of which 334 had been lodged by the
conservatives, and 221 by the radicals. The objections in
the out-townships and a portion of the freemen were dis-
posed of on Wednesday ; and it was arranged that the parish
of Liverpool should be commenced at ten o'clock yesterday
morning, and that the freemen should be resumed next day.
Yesterday, both courts were again opened at ten o'clock—
in the Nisi Prins before Mr. Wilkinson, and in the Grand
Jury Room before Mr. Greig. The proceedings throughout
' the day were, for the most part, exceedingly tame and unin-
teresting, the attendance scanty, and the interest excited
amongst the auditory amounting to nothing beyond mere
curiosity. In the Nisi Prius we did not observe so many as
150 persons at any one time, and the average in the other
court was scarcely three dozen. It was agreed, on the out-
set, that Mr. Wilkinson should take the cases in the borough
wards, from No. 1 to 9 inclusive, and that the cases in the
remaining wards should be adjudicated upon by Mr. Greig.
In both courts the lists of objections and claims were gone
over, so far as they could be got through with, by the parties,
whose names were called, acsaering their names alphabeti-
cally. Several individuals who held a joint occupancy re•
spectively, in a house exceeding .4:20 of clear annual rental,
although objected to, were allowed. Many parties'who did
not appear, were struck off the list, but only, as we under-
stood, pro tempore, as a day will be appointed for their being
heard hereafter, if they choose to make their appearance. A
considerable number of those objected to were also allowed,
there being no solid objection to the validity of their votes.
Some claims were also admitted. The attorneys for the
respective parties—conservatives and radicals—exerted them-
selves for their respective clients, but no extreme feeling of
political animosity was evinced. Some cases were reserved
for consideration and future decision. The case of a Mr.
Watts, in Everton and Kirkdale Ward, which had been re-
served from the first day, was decided, in the Nisi Prius,
against the party whose claim it affected. It appeared that
there had been a joint occupancy, but that some months prior
to the final date of tenancy alleged on the part of Watt, who
had previously been joint tenant of the house, and had paid
one-half the rent (or £l5), his partner in the occupancy had
purchased the premises, and to him his share of the rent
became due. The barrister stated, that he could make no
distinction between such occupancy and that of a mere lodger.
—The case of a Mr. Davies was reserved. He was rated
for the house he occupied, but had paid rates for only nine
months of the parochial year. The parish officers admitted
that they did not look to him for the three months' rates due
on the previous tenancy. It was argued that he was not
liable, particularly as he had made a tender of money, with-
out, however, producing any amount, he being told (as lie
swore) that nothing further was due by him. It was also
alleged in his b. half, that the collector knew where to find
the party owing the three months' rates still deficient in the
parish receipts. How this will be settled remains to be seen.
We find it impossible, at this stage of the proceedings, to
furnish any account of the respective number of objections
or claims in which the parties were struck off the lists or
admitted as voters, inasmuch as those not appearing will
have an opportunity hereafter of being heard, and many
mutations may take place. In the Grand Jury Room, about
eight conservatives and thirty radicals objected to were al-
lowed, and considerably above that number in the other court.
We shall, however, be enabled to furnish, by Tuesday, a cor-
rect list of the whole. The result will, we think, on the
whole, be considerably in favour of the conservative interest ;
and meantime we advise all our friends who may be objected

AWKWARD PREDICAMENT.—On Wednesday last, some
men employed upon the farm of an extensive land holder near
Lynn, Norfolk, who was then felling a quantity o! trees,
wishing a certain tree to fall in a particular direction,
adopted the very judicious expedient of climbing up into the
said tree, and clinging to some of the outer branches to make
it preponderate. The man with the axe, not suspecting any
danger, contimied his sturdy strokes, until suddenly the tree
fell with a most tremendous crash, fortunately, however,
coming in contact with another, which prevented its coming'
to the ground, otherwise the pooc ignorant men,four in
number, must have been crushed to pieces. As it was,
they'all miraculously escaped, with
. a slight shock, which, how'
ever, will no doubt he a warning to them in future.

'

EXTENSIVE FORGERY IN LIVERPOOL.

John Davaines Barnsley, a respectable-looking youth,
aged 19, was placed before Messrs. Rushton and lioughto.4,.
at the pdlice court, on Tuesday, charged with having forged
two cheques, both of which purported to have been drawn
on the Branch Bank of England, by Messrs. Corrie and Co..'
brokers, of this town, in favour of Messrs. John and Edward
Gray, brokers, all of this town.
In consequence of the respectability of the prisoner's con-
nexions, the case excited considerable interest. The court
was crowded, and amongst the auditory were numerous mer-
chants, bookers, and individuals of great wealth and standing
in Liverpool.
The prisoner, it appears, was an apprentice in the office of
Messrs. J. and E. Gray. By some means -or other, which
did not appear in the evidence, he knew that Messrs. Corrie
and Co. had an account with the Branch Bank of 'England.
having abstracted some blank printed cheques from Messrs.
Gray's cheque-book, he, as appears from the evidence, in
September tact filled one of theta up and desired a 'youth
named John Cooper to present it- at the Branch Bank.
Cooper did as he desired, and drew £244 3s: 3d., the
amount of the cheque which he paid over to• Barnsley. A
few days afterwards be drew another cheque for £847 6s. 10d.;
and desired another youth named Grundy to present it.
Grundy went to tile bank, but some delay occurred, and ulti-
mately the cheque was not paid for a reason which will ap.
pear hereafter. The delay of Grundy. appears to have
aroused the fears of Barnsley, who absconded. He pur-
chased a horse, a fowling-piece, and several other extrava-
gancies, and set off into Wales, where he appears to have
done his utmost to enjoy himself. Meanwhile, however, the
forgeries had been discovered and pursuit wss hot uptin his
heels. He was at length taken in Montgomeryshire with
little more than £lOO of his booty remainingi
The prisoner, who is slightly coloured, was dressed in a
light drab macintosh. He did not appear to be greatly of
fected by the situation in which he stood. He- was attended
by Mr. Myers, of the firm of Lace, ,Son, and 'Myers, who
watebed the proceedings on his behalf. Mr.,Robinson. of
the firm of Lowndes and Robinson, appeared as solicitor foe
the Branch Bank of England.
Mr. Robinson briefly stated the charge, and then called
Mr. William Debonair Hagger, a •teller at the Borough
Bank of England, in Hanover-streeL Mr. Nagger stated,
that on the 10th September last the cheque 'Produced was
presented for payment by John Cooper.. !fie,paid it in two
notes of £lOO each, a £4O note, 4 sovereigns,:.3 shillings in
silver, and sd. in copper. Messri. Corrie and G 0.,. by whom
the cheque phrported to be draWn; kept an account with the
bank. When he paid the amount he believed the signature
to the cheque to be theirs. • •
John Cooper, a youth aged about sixteen, stated that he
was a clerk with Messrs. Thompson, Henderson, and Co.
He had been in their service about half-a-year. He was for-
merly an apprentice in the office of Messrs. John Edward
Gray. He left them in June, IS-11. He was acquainted with
the prisoner when he was there. He,recolleeted.the prisoner
calling upon him on Saturday week at _Messrs. Giorge•Mal-
coltn and 'Co.'s office, where he was doing some business.
The prisoner said he wanted him to go with him to. look at
some pipes. He (witness) said he could not go then, but
would go about half-past twelve. The prisoner,called about
twelve, and they proceeded together down Hanover-street.
When they got near the end of Seel-street, the prisoner took
out a cheque, and requested that he would go into the bank
and get cash for it. lie did as desired; but there was such
a crowd in the bank that he could not get it cashed. He
took it back, but could not for some time find the prisoner.
At length, in about ten minutes, Barnsley joined him. Wit-
ness told him that he could not get the.cash for the crowd.
The prisoner requested him to go again, saying he could not
well go himself as he had a dog with him. 1-ce went again,
got the money, and came out from the bank. It was again
a quarter of an hour before he could find the prisoner, whom
lie at length met in Seel-street. lie gave the prisoner the
money, and requested him to count it, which he did. They
went to the Brunswick Hotel, and dined together. The pri-
soner bought a pipe for him, witness. The prisoner paid two
sovereigns for the pipe.
By Mr. Myers. I know the cheque produced. It is the
same which I presented. I know it by the signature.
Mr. John Merton Corrie stated, that he was one of the
London partners of the firm of Corrie and Co. The cheque
produced was not his writing, nor was the signature his
writing, or that of any individual connected with their house.
It bore a resemblance to the signature of Mr. Berner, who
was a member of filch firm at the beginning of the present
year.

Mr. Frederick Berner stated, that he was formerly one of
the firm of Corrie and Co., and the partnership was dis-
solved on the 30th of April last. He used, when a partner,
to sign for the firm. The signature to the cheque resem-
bled his signature, but it was not his writing.
Mr. John Gray, a partner in the firm of John and Edward
Gray, stated that the prisoner was an apprentice in his
office. The body of the cheque was the prisoner's writing.
He had searched the prisoner's drawer and found in it the
papers produced. The drawer was exclusively his, but it was
not usually kept locked. On one of the papers appeared the
signature of Corrie and Co., written several times over, as if
for practice. There were also several memorandums in the
prisoner's handwriting. The blank cheques produced, as
well as those which had been filled up, had been torn from
their cheque-book, which was kept in a desk, which ,was
sometimes locked and sometimes not locked. The cheques
Nos. 37,093 and 37.083 had been torn from that book, and
there were corresponding intervals in the book showing
whence they had been torn.
William Baird, superintendent of police in Montgomery-
shire, stated, that he apprehended the prisoner in conse-
quence of having received information and a description of
him. He apprehended him in Montgomeryshire, on Sun-
day last. He searched him, and found in his possession a
a pocket-book, which contained £lOO, forty pounds of which
were in £lO notes, and the rest in £5 notes. He had also in
his pocket £9 10s. in gold, 4s. in silver, and ] Id. in copper.
In the pocket-book were the blank cheques produced, and a
memorandum handed in. The memorandum was a sort of ac-
count. On one sidestood as " amount received £.13 3s. 5d.,"
the exact amount of the bill, and on the other, several items
of expenditure, the prisoner having apparently gone on
keeping account till the items increased upon him. The first
there was £l6 for a gun, £3 for some other article not
named, and £1 for an umbrella.
This was the whole of the evidence in the first case,
Mr. Rushton asked if the prisoner had anything to say. to
which Mr. Myers replied in the negative.
Mr. Robinson said the prisoner was further charged with
having forged a cheque for £847 6s. 10d. The following• is a
copy of the cheque, the italic representing the parts written
with a pen, the rest being copper-plate.
"37083 Liverpool, 13th Sept., 1842.
" To the Agent of the Branch Bank of England, Liverpool,
Pay to Messrs. John and Edward Gray, or bearer; Bight
Hundred and Forty-seven Pounds Six Shillings and Ten-
pence. .
" £847 6 10. " Connak and Co.!'
Mr. Hagger stated, that he recollected the cheque produced
being presented. It was not paid, because the amount over,
drew the account, and it was a rule in the bank not to pay a
cheque which exceeded the balance by a single shilling.
William Grundy, a boy, stated that he was an apprentice
in the service of Messrs. John and Edward Gray. He recol-
lected the prisoner asking him, on Tuesday last, to go with
him to the Brunswick Hotel to dine. It was about one o'clock
and he occompanied the prisoner. When they got.to Hano-
ver-street the prisoner asked him if he would go into the bank
and get a cheque cashed for him. He assented, and the
prisoner gave him a shilling, telling him to pay a postage
which was owing. He presented the cheque to Mr. Hagger,
after Navin been detained half an hour. The cheque was
not paid and he returned to where he had left the prisoner
but he could not find him. Ile had not seen him since till
now.

The same parties who were examined in the last case proved
that this cheque was not signed by any of the firm of Corrie
and Co.

Mr. Myers said he should offer no observations at present,
as the ease pressed so strongly against the unfortunate pri-
soner. As the young man was most respectably connected,
he would respectfully press upon the bench to allow him to
be liberated on bail.

Mr. Rushton said, he was well aware of the respectable
connexions of the prisoner, but they knew of no distinctions
when individuals were placed at that bar. He would gladly
always allow parties to be liberated on bail when the case
would admit of it, but this offence was too clearly established.
Here was a direct forgery, and the prisoner was proved to
have entrapped these two lads to present the cheques for him.
In such a case he could not admit him on bail.
The prisoner was committed to take his trial at the next
assizes.

A CROWNED HEAD.—Among the incidents which served
to break the monotony, and divert the attention of the crowd.
when her gracious Majesty visited Stirling, was the following :
—A poor insane creature, known in Stirling by the name of
" Daft Pate," created great laughter by running about in a
red coat and tartan trousers, with an immense crown made
of painted tin upon his head. He ran hither and thither to
the great diversion of the crowd ; but the constables, think-
ing, perhaps, that his painted crown was intended as a bur-
ies ye upon royalty, caused it to be removed from his head.
THE INNKEEPERS' HARVEST IN SCOTLAND. The
Edinburgh Bonifaces reaped a capital harvest during the
period of her Majesty's visit to Scotland. The same may
also be said of that fraternity in all the other towns in those
neighbourhoods which her Majesty and the Prince honoured
with their presence. Beds, and indeed every other descrip-
tion of furniture which could be, however tortuously, appro-
priated for a resting place at night, were amazingly up in
the market; chairs and tables at a high premium, mattresses
and paillasses scarce, though eagerly inquired after, and only
to be procured at an immense advance; and as for easy chairs
and sofas, happy and fortunate was he who could secure the
half of a couch, or the loan of a little bit of an easy chair, at
the rate of something like half a sovereign per night. One
gentleman connected with the royal household slept, or
rather attempted to sleep, for six nights, upon the only rest-
ing place he could procure at one of the largest inns at Edin-
burgh, which consisted of three very hard serpcntined wood
bottomed chairs. For this species of " accommodation:: he
was charged by the modest Boniface the very moderate sum
of only half a sovereign per night. A story is told of George
L, who stopping to breakfast one morning at a roadside inn
in Germany, was charged a guinea for a new-laid egg. The
King very naturally inquired if eggs were scarce ? " Not at
all, your Majesty" replied Boniface, " but Kings are." The
Scotch, no doubt on the same excellent principle, caused
everything, from a mutton chop to a feather bed, to look up
during the Royal visit to the land o'cakes, and attributed the
rise in creature comforts to a scarcity of a Queen north of
the Tweed.

AN EXTRAORDINARY WOMAN.—There is still is exist-
ence an extraordinary woman, whose maiden name was
Therese Figueur, but who was afterwards married to, and is
now the widow of, a man named Sutter. At an early age
she was induced by circumstances to enter as a soldier in tpe
Allobroge Legion. This was in 1793. and she took part at
the siege of Toulon. The next year she was removed to the
15th dragoons, and made the campaign of Catalonia with
the army of the Eastern Pyrenees. When the convention
interdicted women from serving, the generals of this army
obtained a special exception in her favour. She was in 80..
naparte's campaign in Italy. After the battle of Novi she en-
tered the 9th dragoons, in which regiment she followed the
war in Piedmont. The first consul granted her a pension of
200 f. for her distinguished conduct as a dragoon during
eight years. In 1802 she was again enrolled in the 9th dra-
goons, was at the battles of Austerliz and Jena, and continued
her career until the capture of Berlin. In 1810 she went
into Spain as one of the imperial guard, and in 1812 was
made prisoner near Burgos, by one of the Cute Merino's
guerilla parties, and sent into England. She returned into
France in 1814, and on the eve of the Emperor's departure
for Waterloo was presented to him in her uniform
by
vs a
severalchas-
seur
of the imperial guard. Certificates signed
marshals and generals attest that she received aot
wound at Toulon, four sabre wounds in Piedmont,Tiansigfc!ur
horses killed under her, and saved the lives of General No-
guoz and several other officers. She is now 69 years of age,
and continues to enjoy her pension.
LET US DO WHAT WE CAN.—" I see in this world," said
John Newton, two heaps • one of human happiness, the
other of misery. Now, if I take but the smallest bit from
one heap and add to the other, I carry a point. If, as Igo
borne, a child has dropped a half-penny, and if by giving it
another I can wipe away its tears, I feel that I have done
something. I would do greater things, bat I will not neglect
this.
SECE.ECY.—In the debate in the United States Senate op
the new British treaty, great care was taken to have the
doors closed, and to keep everything secret. The weather
being very hot, the windows were up, and Mr. Allen, from
Ohio, who bas a very shrill voice, talked so loud that any
one could hear in the public walks outside the Capitol, and
as he went over the whole ground, the details of the treaty
were common talk in Washington before it passed the senate.
So much for secret session.

CORRESPONDENCE.

1" NUISANCES OF THE TOWN.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
SlR,—The thanks of the public, I am sure, are ever due
to you for the readiness which invariably characterises your
endeavours on all occasions, when, ar►d where the public
weal requires ; and in nothing is that disinterestedness so
conspicuous than in again directing the attention (as in your
last journal) of the civil authorities, to the loathsome and
disgusting nuisances which pervade our town, in many of its
more densely populated districts; and although, as you very
justly remark, there are street " inspectors who have duties,"
yet 1 am not alone in thinking that those duties are not suf-
ficiently observed, at least so, with that application required,
the more effectually to remove the nuisances so justly com-
plained of.

For several years past, our town has been subjected to a
somewhat heavy impost of parish rates, lamps and scavengers
forming no unimportant item in the same; but while we may
not complain of sufficient fight to direct our steps, yet of
" dark and filthy passages"—uncleansed from all that which
disgusts the sight of every passer-by, and proves truly ob-
noxious to the health of those, who from business or necessity
are obliged to endure it—of this, we must complain.
Bye-laws affecting the same, if I mistake not, 1 believe we
have ; and if not stringent enough to compel the resident in-
habitant to see to the better cleansing of their immediate
neighbourhoods, let something more be done.
1 could, with yourself, sir, not only point outfit/I/places
in our town, but more than that number in one district
alone, namely, Brownlow-hill and its vicinities, with its
numerous crowded courts and dark passages, where filth of
every nameless description is allowed to accumulate undis-
turbed from month to month, and where the broom of the
town scavenger is but rarely, if ever, seen engaged,—to any
useful purpose. It is the want of attention to the better
cleaning of the back streets, lanes, &c. of our town that ori-
ginates so much of infection and disease; and so long as
such pestiferous nuisances are allowed existence, just so long
shall our increasing population, of every grade (hut especially
so the poor), suffer from its truly notorious effects. It will
be remembered that some few years ago, our civil town func-
tionaries introduced a measure in council, and which subse-
quently constituted one of our bye-laws, requiring the sweep-
ing of the footpaths before the doors of both houses and shops ;
and any one neglecting to comply is now subject to a fine ;
and why not require, by -a measure equally stringent (and
affecting all parties alike). that every inhabitant of the town
should also keep the back premises of their respective tene-
ments regularly and thoroughly cleansed ; which of the
two is most essential to health, no one can for a moment
doubt; I would respectfully suggest, therefore, that the au-
thorities require, if not oftener, at least a weekly. inspection
of the different avenues—private and public ; and any one
neglecting to keep, as far as it may be found practicable,
their immediate places of residence free from nuisance of
every kind, that they be informed against.
Hoping that the foregoing remarks may arrest attention,
I am, sir,
Your obedient servant,
L.

RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY.
. .
Thin. society. is assuredly a most wonderful and glorious
institution ;
•and that our readers may at once see the grounds
on which we make the assertion, we extract the following
abstract of its proceedings as contained in its report for the
present year :--
" SUMMARY OF ITs PROCEEDINGS TO MARCH 31, 1842.
" 1.—PUBLICATIONS.
" Annual, circulation, including the issues•of

" Total amount of subscriptimardonations, and '
Auxiliary contributions. •. • .t- ' 5,126 17 8

" Appropriated beyond the subscriptions, dons-
nations, collections, and Auxiliary contribu-
tions...
" Note.—The special attention of the Christian public is
called to the fact, that the whole amount of the subscriptions,
donations, and contributions, is applied to the gratuitous
circulation of the society's publications at home and abroad,
without any deduction or charge whatever therefrom ; and
that notwithstanding the entire appropriation of such contri-
butions, the grants exceed them by more than £2,500. This
fact, it is hoped,.will be a powerful appeal to the Christian
public, both at home and in the colonies, for increased sup-
port to the society's home and foreign objects."

DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS IN CIRCASSIA.
_ --
The following account of a defeat of the Russians in.Cir-
cassia will be read with interest. It comes through the
Malta papers :
. .
"CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 27.—Great and glorious news
from Circassia! You know well enough that the Russians,
with their Minister of War—Count Tehernieheff, at their
head, were by their insatiable ,Emperor intended tb knock
the Circassians into cocked hats this year. , Communica-
tions were lately made to the Circussians to come to terms of
peace ; and to gain time they promised to tneetthe wishes of
the Russians, provided they could agree to suitable terms.
Upon this basis a truce was agreed to. In the meanwhile
there was a great gathering of the warriors of the mountains,
most of whom had no more to do with the truco than the
man in the moon. They, therefore, determined to attack
tine Giaours' camp. A few guards excepted, the whole of the
Russians were about break of day snoring as comfortably as
well fed pigs in a sty, when in rushed the mountaineers,
sword in hand ! Cut and thrust did everything, and many a
slumberer before he had time to finish his nap was sent to
his eternal sleep. Such was the rapidity with which the
warriors came on, that the Russians had no time to form
and draw up in battle array, before they were dispersed, and
the majority destroyed. Nothing remained but for such as
had the power to run, to try their speed, many being cut
down in their course. This occurring not far from a Russian
fortress called Mazga, in the north of Abascir, most of the
fugitives made for that place, where they could find arms,
and hoped to rally, but the pursuers were close upon their
heels, and got into the fortress
alongith
aboutthem.lo
AllO morewho
resisted were cut down, but there was still some fighting, and
50 of the mountain warriors fell, whilst
made their exit on the bastions, which were blown into the
air by the explosion of a mine or magazine. This enraged
the survivors, and many Russians, who would otherwise have
been made prisoners, became, like their companions, dead
men. In a word the slaughter .was dreadful, but subse-
quently, the conquerors spared the lives of a great many,
and sent them up the country. They then collected their'
booty, which to them was valuable, as they were in want of
ammunition, of which they here found an abundance. The
horses, arms, clothes, and everything of value being ab-
stracted, they set fire to the wooden buildings, and il
diately abandoned the fortress for the benefit of u're-
future in-
vaders. This is the account I have heard
, but don't ask
dates, precise localities, and soforth, for they
heard from Ciriassians. The Russian art never to be
an blockade was
severe on the coast. Only three Turkish
moat
were there' and they were burnt , the boats.or vessels
Circassians,-therefore,
to come over, had to purloin the •
cutter of a Russian biig:en
war, lying at Nardan, which they did cleverly, and three woo
got over to Asia Minor in this Way. They say that among
the prisoners were a great
many
°l6"rs' and one general.
They state the number of
Russians at 20,000; but if there
were half the number I should •
say it was a brilliant
affair.
Accounts from Crimea wounded
state that a great many ,
men had reached that this battle or
place, but They
whether from
not it is not said.and as the
iney came from Circassia,
Russians have been equally beaten in other engagements,one at Daghistan and one at Sotcha, cannot say where they
came from."
