Glasses both in London and the provinces. There arc tribunals and juries judges, aye, and execu tioners,—of whom the law of England takes no eognismee, thoui.:i their senttr.ces are carried into l effect, among particular classes, with even greater , stringency than those of the legally constituted tri bunals. Let us hope that wiser counsels may . obtain among the members of the Amalgamated Society - . Nothing has yet been interchanged but hard word!' ; it is in the power of the engineers to limit the hostilities t o missiles by which, according totbe proverb, no bones have been broken. The initiative now rests with them. May thev, —before taking the 'crimp, step they have threat ened,—calmly weigh the responsibilities they oe in curring, and consider whether the object in view is I just and important enough to warrant them in corn- ! promising so gravely the livelihood of multitudes of , their fellow-workmen in various branches of employ ment, who must necessarily be involved in the same fate, even though repudiating the folly which has prompted the suicidal act. Much, we admit, may be urged in favour of the abstract right of combination among the workmen. Masters and capitalists, it may be -aid, can combine and associate freely in their enterprises, and thus care) many points respecting labour, and wages, against their men, if the latter are not allowed to pro tect themselves by similar association. But in practice it is ciidcut that the operatives have not as yet learnt bow to wield this weapon without injury to the community, and, most of all, to themselves. TO TIII IWITOI 01P TUN LITILBI. Sta,—Tho extraordinary, and, as it appears to me, wh illy *nestled for, announcement of the committee of the newly constituted association of thilled workmen — the Amalgamated Society of Engineer', Millwrights, and Mechanics has again brought prominently before the metslic the question of strikes. l'robably no subject is more fraught with difficulty, 001.0 itia understood, sad few so little cared tor, except by the parties immediately laterestere Yet it is one of immense, nay of vital, im portance, whether regarded in its direct consequences to the workmen themselves sod their employer, or the in direct but equally c , rtain insults nu the commercial, and in the mid the political, position of the empire at large. When parliament attempts to deal with it, as it occasionally don, it merely exhibita its own glom incapacity to the task, or its grower partiality in favour of wealth-pro duced, as against the great wealth-eroducing power. In nothing perhaps is the defective state of our representa tive system more apparent in regard to its being the expreuimon of the feelings and interests of all classes of tie, cononuoity than in its worse than futile laws fur regulating the relations between master, and workmen. We have combination laws to punish the em ployed for comltining to raise wages, while the equally powerful and more frequently successful unions ot em ployers to reduce them are net only allowed but enema aged. And when such lecislation begins to re-act ms society in the discontent, the aginvion, and the violence. too often, of the maesee, sail in the consequent insecurity of property, then we have applied in the most objectionable and degrading shape of charity the nostrum. of well intwtioncd, but mistaken, philanthropists, like my Lord Shaftesbury. The whole course and object of parliamentary interference would seem to be to destroy in the working classes the spirit of independence and self-reliance—to induce them to lone on the sympathy and charitable feeling of their employer' for those hen, his which their own in dsstry and their own exertions should command. Few greater evils can be inflicted on • nation them the eseeMion of labour even for a short time by its wed*. population. The moment that cessation begins, the proles tiveneas of the coumry is, to that extent, suspended ; and were such suspension anything like general, and of Wag continuance, the very existence of the trauma as an ands• pendent state would be in peril. Could the actual nary loss this country has sustained by the numerous strikes which have occurred during the last 3i years be accurately competed, it would be found to exceed the cost of the eaponsive war we ever waged. I:nhappily, the recur rence of these costly contests is on the increase. Scarcely is • difference between the masters and men in one branch of our manufacturing industry settled, after the sacrifice of thousands of pounds, than they are threat ened with another in • still more numerous, and, nationally considered, a far more important clams of manufactures— one in which skilled labour es more highly valued and paid than any other. It were useless to try to conceal the that, that these repeated acts of hostility on the part of large bodies of our skilled workmen, bet-peat a wide-spread or ganisation of labour as oppo sed tee capital, which, if not spesdily and effetively checked, must end in the serious injury of our manufacturing, and, possibly, of our commercial superiority. The question is, how to meet the evil ? Certainly not by one-sided acid ignorant legislation, and, as certainly, not b the masters uniting to close their works altogether, and thus punish themselves and the able, industrious, and contented workman foe the fault of the incompetent, the idler, and the grumbler. Than this, which is the plan involved in the resolutions passed at the meeting of London masters es Wednesday lest, uo more unjust, absurd, and suicidal': idea surely ever emanated from the minds of educated and sane men. lam aware that a somewhat similar resolve, eons- to the other day by the calico and shawl printers in the neighbourhood of the Clyde, has been attended with at least temporary success. But the circumstances in that ease were very different from those which our great en gineering firms have now to meet. There, all the work men without exception were engaged in a combination to compel a certain master to employ, or not employing to pay, certain refractory or incompetent hands—their mode or operation being to withdraw all the other men in the event of non-compliance with their demands, sail thus leave the master without the nlealls of carrying on his works, the men an withdrawn to be supported out of Us' earnings of the whole body of operatives engaged else where. The strike was thus eonased to the hands of one firm, but the gross tyranny exhibited in the whole proceed ing was so Obvious, and the extent to which it might be tarried under ouch • system of crushing in de tail, so hopelessly ruinous, that the masters were fully instill al in meeting it by a counter union, sod a refusal to ups their works until the obnoxious demand should be withdrawn. Without doubt, the requirements of the "Amalgamated Society of Engineers," ke., though more generally directed and more openly put for ward, are equally tyrannous in their character with thew of the Scotch printers. But ono of their priF cipal otejects is to prevent the employment of a elms of industrious and deserving lohoun , rs; sad Ikls the step eontemplated by the masters will facilitate. Again, Mr dueltua Field, the chairman of the meeting, tells as that " he has great reason to believe that the Se requisi tions (those of the Amalgamated Society) are not approved of by the steady and industrious workmen. It is doubtful whether they are even sanctioned by a majority of the mem ls of the society Irons which they profess to emanate." Why then resort to a step which, in addition to the imme diate distress end tuffering it must occasion to thousands of deserving men and their Wadies, may entail ruin on many of the Isis wealthy of the masters, drive away the wor thiest, the steadiest. and the most talented artisans to other countries—(for these are not the men to remain lung un employed)—and divert capital into other and less profitable channels ? The only effectire way to deal with the question is to establish confidence between the employer and the em ployed. To make the identity of interests, which the workmen bear so niuch about, something real and tangible to their sense, and not • mere empty sound, as, except in a tow honourable eases, it is at present, they must be tan:rtit to know by expellent., that if, through their extra labour, the master it obtaining • lar ger rate of profit, some shire of that additional gain will reward them, and above all they must not be allowed to believe that reductions of 'sages submitted to in times of adversity sill, unless prevented by the fear of combination, be continued when the tide of prosperity returns. As we have said, this is not to be achieved by the interference of parliament ; but we thuik it just poribis that • body might be cumin. toted, composed of a certain number of masters and sa..l from every mechanical trade, each class sleet tag the represeatatires of its own interests, to whom all qe thous of wager, time, apprenticeship, and other matters which are from time to time the subject of difference, shield be referred, and whose decisions should have the farce of law. Of course • legislative sanction to the op poistaaint of such a body would be nessmary, and to that and the rescinding of the laws now at the statute-book, I relating to the employment of workmen, the intervention of pa rl iament should be confined. We throw this out os a suggestion. There are many details which, were it adopted, woald require to be considered and determined, as roe in-' Mawr the proportion of members to the numbers ems pkyed on the one hind, and the capital embarked on the other. With se we hose nut now to deal. Oar preorst ottir;t will hare teen iscrompli•hell if we succeed in di ,eseting the thoughts of the parties interested to the caul dilation of 121 , 31111 for establishing between them relations permanent and profitable peace, instead of how to carry as a system of rilibr . .:l antagonism. r.

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 30, 1851. COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' SCHOOLS. Yesterday the half-yearly general court of the governors of this institution took place at the Leaden Ta vern, Di.bop...este-street, Mr. OHM MLITIRMAN, M.P., in the chair. The following report was presented by the board of management: On the termination of the filth year of the society's existence the board appear before the governors to submit their annual report . The total amount of receipts, from all sluices, far the twelve months just expired is 5,4261. Bs. 4(1. The analysis of this aggregate sum is as follows : Donations for general purposes. 4241. 3s. fid.; subscriptions (renewed), 2,9111. 17s. • subscriptions (new), 4191. Bs. fel.; presentations for two 'children, 2101.; dona tions for the building fund, 1,0731. lls. •' dividend on stock, 387/. 8.. 4d.—making a total of 1,1 281 . 8 e. 4d. This state ment shows a diminution in the receipts of this year, as compared with those of the preceding twelve months; but it must be borne in m.nd that in 1840 extraordinary exer tions and mean, were put forth to increase the receipts, especially of the building fund. Tho board of manage ment have only one painful circumstance to record. in November last one of the boys was seised with an attack of brain fever, which, alter a few days' illness, terminated fatally. Whilst the board lament this circumstance tlej cannot help alluding to the gratify , ing feet that, although the institution has now existed five years, this is the first event of the kind which has occurred. When the event happened the board appointed some mem bers of their own body to investieate the INIMMer, with a view to ascertain if there were any local CAM. hIMILISMIIIig either as connected with the premises at Wanallead s fie ht the regimen of the institution, which might bow Wool '1 this particular disorder, and which, if permitted %or tinne, might endanger the health of the other tnemisee of the establishment. But no such causes were dimmed ; and, as regard the particular case referred to, this beard can assure the governors that the youth received tam the' , house-surgeon and physician to the institution every atten tion which his precarious condition required, and that nothing which medical skill could devise was left untried to arrest the progress of the disorder. The board have only to add on this point, that, with a very few oces- Gams' exceptions, the children have enjoyed the most perfect health during the past twelve months. Some months ago a formal application was made for a site to the directors of every railway company having a terminus in London. This application was very favourably entertained by some of the ratites' , boards. The directors of the North Western Company were anxiously disposed to meet the wishes of the board of management, and it was hoped that a site on their line might be selected. But no plot of ground hitherto brought under their notice has, in the judgement of the board, appeared 60 completely to meet all the meets of this i n stitution as to justify them in a purchase. The board have great pleasure in stating two members of their own body bine kindly u.Wtmi to devote their attention especially to the task of looking Gs a suitable site, and they will from time to time cell til• at tention of the board to such plots of ground as they may think eligible for the purposes of this charity. - During the year just expired six have left the is stiestiom, having completed their term for remaining nadir the essiety's cure. It affords the beard of management ex treme satisfaction to state that these boys have been es shied, through the active inlainies of kind friends of this charity, to obtain -ituaticine, wham with perseverance and steadiness, ea honourable end miefel position in life may in doe time be secured. The board sincerely trust that at may be seen by the fugue sendiset of these youths that the care bestowed then has not been thrown away, end that is the spheres to which it may please God reapeetl iat zli ti t i o us eall them they yma evince by their vir tue nod, that the Ceenieerl Travellers' Schools see a blowilag to orphans whom they fester and protect. In eseelemba the beard pebfilly acknowledges the exer tions of these treste•lnerts4 friends, who is the capacity of stewards, stilloontinee to he the mainstay sad strength of , the institution. The board feel that any thanks they can present mina be a very inadequate return for such diain iterated Moan, but they trust that these generous friends may find an maple reward for their efforts in the cm:mut ing usefulness of this Institution. This report having been received and adopted various matters connected with the management of the institution were briefly discussed, and the court proceeded to the election of eight children (five boys and three girls) into the schools. The result being declared, the meeting separated with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman. IRELAND. Dosi.nr. DEC. 29. There is no foundation for a paragraph published by the Warder of Saturday, to the effect that the Provostship had been conferred on Dr. Longfield, ono of the Commissioners of Encumbered Estates. The Daily Express states that the candidates are Professor Lloyd, Dre. McDonnell, Todd, and Groves. The last accounts of the state of Mr. Eastwood's health are unfavourable. The ill-fated gentleman continues in a very precarious condition. No traces of the assassins have been yet discovered, but the authorities are using every exertion towards the ar rest of the guilty parties. Meanwhile the executive: are taking the alarm. An extraordinary Gazette, which was published on Saturday evening, contains proclamations declaratory of the previous proclama tions of the sth inst., by which the provisions of the 11th Vic. c. 2, were extended and applied to the perishes of Clontibret and Mucknow, in the barony of Cremorne, and county of Monaghan, and to the parishes of Derrynoose and Keady, an the baronies of firanny and Armagh, in the county of Armagh, and appointing the 30th December instaat, as the last day for the deposit with the police of unlicensed arms. Sir Robert Bataan, Bart., brother of Mr. Thomas Bateson, the victim of the Castleblayney tragedy, has written a lung letter to the editor of the Belfast Chronicle, vindicating his relative from certain charges of oppression preferred against him by a northern paper. Sir Robert, in the coarse of his defence, observes: For mane years my brother managed two very extensive estates in Donegal and Antrim, belonging to different pro prietors. He found them both in such a state of dismantle". tiuu, both as to the accounts, the conduct of the people, and the state of agriculture, as would have deterred most men from the undertaking. Let those who recollect them at that time, and those who saw them when he gave up their man agement—let the magistrates with whom he 00-operated— and the friends he associated with in their vicinity, bear re cord, and they will tell what they have often repeated, that the improvement effected in the different branches above mentioned on both the estates could hardly have been believed to have taken place within the time. He afterwards undertook the management of Lord Temple town's estates in Monaghan and Antrim, and from their great extent and their distance from each other, he was obliged to devote his whole time to them. The system he began and tarried out so well on the estates he before managed, his greater experience enabled him to pursue even more effectually than before; and with the willing and generous co-opt ration of Lord Templetown, who fully appreciated my brother's seal and abilities, both estates were progressing in • ratio surprising to all who were acquainted with them, when his career of usefulness was cut short by the members of that conspiracy which has already deprived this country of many of its most valuable friends. But can we be surprised at the atrocions acts of the ignorant and savage mob who are hounded to the scene of murder by a miserable section of the public pre's, whose entire circulation depends upon pandering to the evil passions, and keeping up those deadly animosities between man and man which makes part of this kingdom a hell upon earth ? A paragraph lately published in a provincial paper, and partly copied into one of the Dublin journals, is evidently from the pen of a rib bonman, who would naturally seek to palliate the enormities of his companions by representing my brother as cruel to some of those under his control. (hanks to the greater portion of the Irish press, he dues not require my feeble advocacy ; the whole tenor of his life gives the lie to his calumniators ; and if further testimony were required, the barrister of the county Monaghan, an eminent Queen's Counsel, Mr. Kijor, could, if referred to, prove that fewer processes were Wien out upon the Templetown estate than on any similar extent of country under his jurisdiction. Lord Templetown, both from his own wish to benefit his tenantry, and at my brother's suggestion, annually expended • very large portion of his income in making improvements, not at his model farm only, but over his whole estate, giving employment, premiums for agricultural improvement. and mem paying the county ems, supporting charitable institu titme—in short, to such an amount that I do not hesitate to mart that, if an average were taken of the entire amount ex =on uvula estates in England for like purposes (I say , because there is not amore generous or liberal pro pel/retry in the world than hers), Lord Templetown'a 1 expediter, would exceed it. Now as to the amount et rent, I would also fearlessly assert that if Lord Tem had • similar extent of estate in any county in ViT e gli v il he would be is the possession of a net income of nearly double this amount. In addition to Lord Temple town's liberality, us; brother expended the entire of a very handsome income of his own (his personal expendi tare being trifling) in acts of charity, benevolence, and public utality, ou and &butt the estates, on which he con , neatly resided. It could be easily shown, had I not al ready trespassed at too great length on your column., that the outcry raised against landlords and all connected with them is only part of a systematic attask on property of all kinds, but capitally on • class of men who hitherto have ' been the supporters of all the charitable and useful institu . tions in the country. I expect to be able (when the heavy pressure of business on • mind that the recent occurrence has rendered nearly unfit for it permits) to show that the rents in Ireland, making due allowance for all the circum stances connected with the difference of countries, are less than in England and Scotland. I could also ;how that among the agitators of the Tenant-right League are to be found some of that real oppressors and grinders of the people, and that it is owing to that inflammatory and in ' tiling harangues and denunciations that the brutal murder ' of as hum toe, upright, and determined • magistrate as was In Ireland is to be attributed.

Nothing can be more natural than that any notice able development in the material condition of the country should have its corresponding literary re sults. Feudalism had its ballade-cultivated leisure its novels; and railways now have distinct publica tions for themselves. Trains, like carrier-pigeons, carry letters along with them. A few years ago it seemed that railways were to be supplied with a peculiar class of books of amuse ment, and those under the names of " Shilling Books" A certain num- enjoyed greet railway popularity. ber of writers estabhshed railway , fume at Wolverton, popular on the Midland, and eenewned at Exeter. But the system has received an extension since then, partly owing to the stimulus which the Exhibition gave to everything connected with locomotion, and new books of all sorts are spo chilly reprinted for railway reading. Books, practical and poetical, both enter into this enlarged list, and every station is a library. Our tables bear witness to the energy of publishers in these matters, and we must clear off the public obligation in our capacity of journalists, by saying a few words of some of their productions. The diffusion of litera ture is surely a cheerful matter always. How de lightedly does the younger Pliny tell his friend in one of his letters how he has stumbled on a provin cial of literary . acquirements. Here, for Instance, we have a new edition of Eothen," by the Longman', in two volumes, for two shillings. Let us thankfully greet this volume of travels—so vivacious and in such good taste al. ways —in its cheap form. Graceful, picturesque sketching of the oriental life, where the sentiment is not exaggerated, nor the fun vulgar—utter renuncia tion of all cant and affectation - manliness in tone and poetry in treatment, characterise this book; and everybody may enjoy them now. Murray offers us some equally welcome books. Lord Mahon's " Forty-five," " The Turf," " The Chase," the " Essays from the Times," the abridged edition of " Layard's Nineveh,"--are all equally cheap, elegant, and acceptable. To the latter we must give a more extended notice hereafter. "Readings in Popular Literature" is a series of considerable variety. It gives us a reprint of " Ire land Sixty Years Ago." " Ireland Sixty Years Ago" gives ns a series of descriptions of what was most vivacious in the Hibernian sooundrelism of that period. A very melancholy book it is ; for the author, who seems neither heartily to hate, nor yet honestly to acknowledge, what he likes in the stories he gives us, treats the subject unsatisfactorily. It is with difficulty that he makes his descriptions suffi ciently brisk to overcome the naturally loathsome subject of his book, which, however, is well worth reading in these days of the "Celtic Exodus." This same series includes the very lively and instructive " Ten, Years in Australia," by the Rev. 1). Mackenzie, M.A. It is full of capital informa tion suited to emigrants, and more or less interesting to everybody, for it is a very readable book. The "World in its Workshops" is a critical examination of the fabrics, &c., in the Great Exhibition, and full of interest for people curious in the application of science to popular industry. " Turf Characters " is a cheap book of Bentley's, depicting the "Jockey," the " Trainer," &c. the writer seems to know what he is writing about, but not so well how to write it. It is scarcely necessary to recommend those lucid little treatises, " Chambens's Papers forithe Peop!e," always welcome in these days of " Quarterly " stag nation. One line of is sufficient for a favourite publisher, Cheeks Knight's "National Edi tion of ftakspere." He gives us for a shilling an admirably edited and printed play. " The Crystal Palace and its Contents," Part 11., of an "illustrated Cyclopedia of the Great Exhibi tion," embraces all sons of cyclopedic information, with engravings in abundance, for sixpence.—The " Cyclopedia of Useful Arts " is a work of some what similar character. Tallis's Illustrated London" is an illustrated guide-book to the Metropolis. It furnishes engrav ings of the principal public buildings, and the letter press gives antiquarian information concerning the town, which is dull enough after Leigh Hunt and Peter Cunningham, but possibly as good as we have a right to expect for the shilling here demanded. John K. Chapman and Company communicate to the world Goldsmith's " Vicar of Wakefield" and Sterne's" Sentimental Journey," in quarto size, full of French illustrations, at sixpence each. The series comprising these is called " Illustrated Litera ture of All Nations;" and promises " Don Quixote," loom! others. Besides the above-named books of stablished renown, "Marion Lescaut " and a novel d Sue's have appeared, though to us they arc by no =sans equally welcome. " Manon Lescaut's " only ehum—of style, namely—is necessarily lost in a translation ; it is very commonplace in character, very monotonous in story, and alternates between bad moral matter and sham sentiment of the high flown species—a dangerous book, a dull one, and awfully over-rated by writers who are both dLiger ous and dull. Such are the present contributions to railway reading on our table, which it will be seen are mil ciently various and copious. The practical element the reader observes to be pretty strong here. It is to be hoped that if wholesale cheap re-printing is to go forward, a good direction will be given to the literary part of it. Why should not the stores of our old literature be more widely opened to the struggling, self-educating masses? Why does not some enterprising trader try Milton's prose, Dryden's prefaces, a choice bit or two from Taylor and Fuller, old Johnson's preface toi his Shakspere, the letters of Gray, or even a few translations from the classics or the old moderns who chose the Latin language? We are nearer now-a-days to Cobbett's political ideal of a state where everybody could eat Bacon; and may begin to advance to Brougham's one, where every body may read him ! At all events, the Rail is help ing us. SPORTING. TATTERSALL'6.—MONDAY.

The mutinous convicts, about 130 in num ber, complain that the authorities have broke faith with them, as certain periods had been fixed when, if they conducted themselves well in the interval, they would be seat out of this country, and ()Mein tickets of leave on their arrival at their destination. The time at which several of the convicts expected they would have been sent out of the country having been ex ec ded, owing to the dilliculty experienced by the autho rities in finding localities where that class would be re ceived, bas been the cause of the present insubordination. The whole of the convict guards were kept on board the ship during the night, in ease of any outbreak, as threats were used; and on Captain 3.1.0 u. • Stopford, act ing superintendent of the d oc ky ar d , being made ac quainted with the mutiny, he ordered the crew of the Fiegard flag ship to remain under arms during the whole night. The dockyard police of the It division were also under arms, in case any violence should have been attempted. On Monday, Captain Whitty and several of the authorities from London visited the Warrior, and examined several of the ringleaders, but the result of what took place has not been made known. In order, however, to prevent being taken by surprise, the whole of the convict guard who did duty during the day in the dockyard were kept under arms all night. The Goldvnuth's Company have forwarded their annual donation of 201. to the poor-box. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A person of military ;v1;;;;;17e with an Irish accent, applied to Mr. Bingham on behalf of the British remnant of " Cuban patriots," who had just reached Lon don in a state of deplorable destitution. The speaker said the parties on whose behalf he solicited temporary assistance were 28 in number, and mostly Irishmen born, but who bad subsequently acquired the privileges of American citizens. They hail, however, been liberated by the Spanish govern ment, and sent to this country by the British consul. as British subjects. They were wholly destitute, and even without the means of procuring nightly shelter. lie had been requested to state their forlorn case in the hope of ob taining such advice as would help them out of their ' difficulty. Mr. Bingham said if the applicants were in a state of destitution they must apply to the relieving officer of the parish in which they last slept, and they would then be sure both of relief and shelter. The spokesman said the destitute applicants would be very reluctant to go into the workhouse. All they sought at present wu for a little temporary assistance, to enable them to reach Ireland or the American States. Mr. Bingham doubted whether any parish would incur the serious expense of sending so many persons back to Ireland, or their places of settlement, wherever they might be. Still less could he hold out any hopes of parishes pay ing for transmission to America. He should advise the parties to apply to the American consul. The spokesman said application had been made to the American consul, who had positively refused to render any assistance or sympathy. Mr. Bingham did not think any sane human being in this country, who knew the facts of the ease, would be in clined to yid , : the smallest sympathy to persons who had been so misguided, or he would say deceived, as the ap plicants professed to have been. The only class likely to sympathise with them, to whom an application might be made with any chance of success, were those jobbers at New Orleans who had profited so largely by the fully of the Cuban invaders. _ _ Mr. Bingham was at first disposed to give some small assistance from the poor-box; but, after a little considera tion, he said he did not feel warranted, under the circum stances of the case, in disposing of any part of the small funds in the poor-box for such a purpose and to such per sons. The only advice he could give was for the applicants to apply to the parish authorities, who were bound to let no one die of starvation in the streets; unless, indeed, they could contrive to interest persons in their beh alf who were ignorant of the zeal circumstances of the ease, and who, in proportion to their ignorance, would be likely to display increased seal in their cause. The spokesman thanked the magistrate, and promised to communicate the particulars of the interview to the rest of his destitute comrades. The annual donation of the Goldsmiths' Company, of 2W. to the poor-box, has been received. Mr. Spryng, of No. 20, Little Pultency-street, Golden-' square, made an application to the magistrate fur advice under the following circumstances : On Tuesday the 9th instant, a man in his employ, by name Edward Palmer, as given in charge for having embezzled the sum of is. belonging to complainant. At the examination on that day at this court sufficient evidence was gone into to induce Mr. Hardwick to remand the prisoner until the following Fri lay. On that day the case was further gone into, and at the earnest application of the prisoner's solicitor, and in consideration of his wife and family, the complainant, the present applicant, took a mer ciful view of the matter, and, with the magistrate's sanc tion, consented to Palmer's discharge. Since that time Palmer had subjected applicant to very great annoyance by spreading absurd reports that he had been discharged with fly ing colours, and that applicant had trumped up the charge out of spite. In another instance Palmer went to an insti tution of which applicaut was a member, and got a vote of censure passed upon him for daring to prosecute the man who had robbed him. These statements tended to injure him in she eyes of his brother tradesmen, and he thought if such false and malicious reports were not put a stop to, the man might circulate other falsehoods, and thus injure him in his business. Applicant now respectfully wished to know how he could proceed to restrain Palmer from mak ing such statements. The magistrate said, since applicant had consented to Palmer's discharge, he had no jurisdiction in the matter. Had applicant pressed the charge against the man, he would most assuredly have committed him for trial. He now advised the amlicant, if the man Palmer persisted in his present line of conduct, to go to a respectable solicitor and put the matter into his hands forthwith. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE., The Lord Mayo r . took the opportunity at the conclusion of yesterday's bungles*, which consisted of a few trivial charges of attempting to steal pocket-handkerchiefs (the owners of which did nut choose to appear), to observe that be had never witnessed a Christmas so (tee from street offences or the nuisance of drunkenness. His Lordship requested that the press would acknowledge his receipt of the fsllowing sums for the poor-box, and ex press his gratitude on behalf of the objects to whose relief they should be applied : The Merchant Tailors' Company, 101. 10s.; jurymen, per Mr. It. Elder, Ss.; G., U.; the Goldsmiths' Company, per William Taylor Copeland, Eq., M.P., prime warden, 204 ; the Mercers' Company, 101. ; J. H. U., per Messrs. Goslin2 and Sharpe, 21. GUILDHALL. Robert Orley and Andrew Burke, were charged with very aggravated assault on Wm. Crispin, by which his arm was broken, his head cut open, and his face severely . injured. The complainant, who resided in New-court, Moor lane, on Friday evening sent his daughter to get change for a sovereign at a public-house, where the prisoners and others saw her receive it. She was met by her father at the door, and they were followed by the prisoners and two others, when he was knocked down, and the injuries already stated inflicted on him. They also followed the son of the com plainant to his house, and threatened to break his head with a poker. The alderman thought the assault was one of a very aggravated nature, and as the prisoners were stated to be part of a gang of desperate characters, he committed them for trial. Mr. Bates, organ-builder and pianoforte-maker, of Lod gate-hill, on a former day appeared before Sir Peter Laurie to complain of the conduct of Mr. Thomas Thompson, a solicitor, of Sise-lane. Mr. Bates said a gentleman applied to him tor • piano on hire, and referred him to Mr. Thomp son, who called on the following day and represented him self as the solicitor to the Union Bank and to Sir Peter Laurie, and in consequence of this he let the gentleman have the piano. From subsequent information he found that Mr. Thompson was not what he stated himself to be. lie endeavoured to obtain the piano back, and got it at the ehd of a month. Sir Peter Laurie expressed a wish to see Mr. Thompson, as no such person had ever acted as attorney either to him self or the Union Bank since 1639. Mr. Thompson now attended to explain the circum stances, and said that he had only stated that ho had brought actions in Sir Peter's name for the Union Bank, and issued writs to recover money which be had afterwards paid into the bank, but he had never alleged that he was solicitor to the back. Sir Peter Laurie said he had never employed Mr. Thomp son, and he did not believe he had ever done any business directly for the Union Bank. Mr. Bates's manager said positively that Mr. Thompson represented himself as solicitor to the Union Bank and Sir Peter Laurie, for he made en entry of the fact at the time in a book pro duced. Sir Peter Laurie intimated to Mr. Thompson that he had better be careful in using his name without his sanc tion. Notwithstanding Mr. Thompson 's denial, he had heard enough to satisfy him how the case stood. A donation of 201. to the poor-box has been forwarded by the Goldsmiths' Company. WESTMINSTER. Five girls, from 14 to 22 years of age, were charged with vesting a serious riot in St. Luke's Workhouse, Chelsea, breaking a great number of windows, and violently assault ing the master and matron. Last year the inmates of St. Luke's were permitt e d t o haves holiday on " boxing day," but in consequence of the gross misbehaviour of the younger paupers, the indul gence was curtailed this Christmas to those above 60 years of age, who were, as usual, permitted to visit their friends. The females who lay under the prohibition began to exhibit symptoms of discontent, which ulti mately broke out in a must disgraceful riot. Some windows were broken on the night of Friday, and the muter was engaged in reading prayers after supper, when the matron hail occasion to reprove one of the paupers for misconduct, upon which one of the defendants rushed upon her, and struck her a violent blow on the face, forcing her at the same time most dangerously towards the fireplace. This was the signal for • general outbreak. Execrations sod disorder ensued, and a furious attack was made upon the master, who was much disfigured in the face from the fury of his female assailants. Defendants and others armed themselves with stones from one of the yards, and es the matron retreated from the dining to the store room, a volley was discharged at the windows by which she had to pass, accompanied by the most disgusting and fi lthy epithets. The police arrived after a riot of something like three quarters of an hour's duration, and order was restored. Mr. A.7.oiiZiened that this case was of too serious • nature for hint to dispose of it suntmiuily ; he should send the accused for trial. I COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—On Satard!y morning a melancholy occurrence took place at Lord Ward's co lli ery, known ea the " Trough Pits."

Grey and Cu., No. 71, King William-street, who 11 , supposed to have been knocked down and robbed by some men at Camber well, and to have died of the injuries inflicted on that occa sion —Mr. E. Wood, of the establishment of Messrs. Grey and Co., stated that deceased was at his usual duties on Saturday week last, when he was in good health. On Monday following witness received a now from him, dated the Police Station, Camberwell, in which he observed that he was in difficulty. Witness found him at the Police Court, and that he bad been fined 103. 6d., which he advanced for him. Deceased informed him that he had been knocked down and robbed. He laid a wound at the back part of the head. John Menden, porter at the Metropolitan Lodging House, Buxton-street, said that de ceased was a lodger last Tuesday. Witness went to his room and knocked at the door. Witness heard that he was in the room. This was between seven and eight o'clock in the morning. Witness went again at eleven o'clock, but got no answer. The next morning he rapped at tho door, after which he looked through a window, when he saw him in a chair. Witness burst the door open, and disco vered that deceased was dead. He had been in bed. In spector Briddlc, of the P division, deposed that about two o'clock on the morning of that day week (plonday), he saw the deceased leaning against the Red Lion, adjoining Camberwell-gate. He asked him where he was going to, when he replied, "To the City." He further stated that he had been at the Half Moon, Denmark-hill, and that after leaving there, while in the valley, he observed two or three men following him. Ho was knocked down by them and robbed of 31. He observed that he re ceived a blow on his head. There was a wound at the back part of his head, and a quantity of blood had flowed front it. His clothes were muddy. He was taken to the station, and as he was in liquor, and incapable of taking care of himself, he was charged with being intoxi cated. A surgeon was sent for, who dressed the wound. The same day he was taken before the magistrate and fined 10s. 6d., the amount of the surgeon's bill. In answer to the coroner and jury, the witness added that the Red Lion is about three miles from the Half Moon. Witness subse quently made inquiries at the Half Moon, and learnt that deceased was there on the afternoon of Sunday, and that he left about 9 o'clock at night. lie had not been able to ascertain anything about the men alluded to by deceased. Mr. Champneys, who attended deceased at the police. station, stated that he had made apost-rnortemexamination of the body. There was a diagonal wound at the back of the head, and in removing the bony covering, he found, in a correspond ing position with that injury, a quantity of blood effused. The brains adjoining were also in a state of inflammation. He attributed death to these causes. There was a mark un der the breast as if deceased had received a blow, and his left eye was blackened. The jury returned a verdict, " That death was caused by a wound on the back of the head, causing inflammation and effusion on the brain, but by what means these were caused there was not sufficient evidence to the jury to show." 'The coroner observed that ho had no doubt that the police would • snake every inquiry into the case. Pasts AND LYONS RAILWAY.—A new concession for the completion of this line is to be granted on Saturday next. The total capital is to be 8,000,0001. The terms of the concession are a lease of 99 years, a guarantee of 4 per cent. per annum during 50 years, upon the entire capital of 8,000,0001., from the completion of the undertaking. At the cod of fifteen years from the latter event, one-half the net profits above 8 per cent. per annum will belong to the state. The payment by the company of 4,400,0001. to the state as the purchase money of the works from Paris to Chalons, and the reimbursement of 160,0001. expended on the works south of Chalons, is to be made in the following manner—namely, 400,0001. on receiv ing the concession, 400,0001. more on taking possession of the line, 960,0001. at the end of 16.52, and the remainder 2,800,0001., in annual payments commencing in 1853, extend ing over a period of some years, and chargeable with inte rest at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum. Ihe leng th of the line from Paris to Lyo ns i s 325 miles, of which 44 miles, from Paris to Chalons, have been open for traffic since the Ist of June last. The remaining portion of the line, from Chalons to Lyons, 81 miles in length, is to be completed by the new company. The original estimate of the coat of the entire line amounted to 8,000,0001., bet that amount has been already expended on the section between Paris and Chalons. The French government has also expended about 160,000/. on the remaining section between Chalons and Lyons, which sec tion, with other matters, is estimated to cost 3,600,0001., including the 160,0004, to be reimbursed to the state. In ceder to obtain the extension of the line to Lyons, the government intended to concede the section from Paris to Chalons, upon which 8,000,0001. has been expended, Per 4,400,0001., so that the company will have to provide 8,000,0001., of which 2,400,0001. is to be borrowed.
