Well, so far they go a great way to recognise our principle that se cuter education may he given apart front religious inotruc lion, inasmuch as those enildren who are allowed to carer in their pickets a pass by which they are exempt from this religious ti aching, at all events are placed very nearly in the position in which we would place all our schools; and there fore, in point of fact, they . recognise the principle which we advocate, with this exception, that they require absolutely that the Bible—the authorised version of the Bible—shall ',mead daily in all other mheols. Well, now, do I hope that the authors of the Manchester and Salford School Society will address. themselves to-morrow to that question, and see whether they cannot move one step farther, and abstain from the attempt to inflict injustice and wrong upon a large section. and that the moat necessitous part of the comma nay, by attempting to make them read that which, if they did read, they could only do it with hypocrisy; and there fore, by practising that hypocrisy for the sake of getting oducetion, certainly could not, in the eyes of any rational being in the world, become more just or more moral by the process. (Aepieuse.) Well, gentlerrem, there's the po-i -tiers in wiiica we stand, or relieve you stand, in Manches ter. I have Mated the amountof difference between your two scheme., which will CO-n° before parliament. Were I now living in Manche-Mee, I should addrew myself solely to the question fur the meant at least, as it aff-cis these localities; because. I repeat to you, se hate ver is done in parliament the neat *ewe a will, in my (winters, at very math as a model for a great part of the kingdom; and therefore it is your business. We shall have only that strength in parliament to alt it with these two topics which you give Us by your sup port out of graph It is far you hi decide which of them pl 'bell be adopted ; hut sorry lam to see that • great portion of those who I th reent were above all other vitally rine-mid in this question—l mean the dissenting bodies— (he iieheer)—baire steed new( from thin controversy under the ia villa and delusive ideas that ever possessed human brines—that this was not a question solely as to one or an se hi me, hat they are under the impression that there is a passibility in this country of going hack to no scheme at all. (Applause.) How men moving in society cinbe at all ander the alt Miami that the re is a doubt about such a sub ject, 1 eatit imagine. If there's one point upon which this great community, I think, has more made up its mind than another, it it in adopt; et some system of comlined attbin of public educatieo, under the senction 01 government, through heal antes and local management, as far aomesible. There's no doubt bet th it is determined oa by the great roam et the community; sad however anybody insincerity, wheeze ao involved in this que•tion as the dissenting body are, can be nvivirat about toe country and trying to advocate or plead for that imp ...able cause —nu public education at all—paw my comprehension. (Appleum.) I believe them to be sin cere. 1 e.,o't doubt theyare sincere; but if they were really Maine at elm ing the game of that party which they have 'ewer% 4...Paltered . .ainecul to their religines interests and their reliaions freedom, they could not have taken a more *6 ctual evens, thou they have during the last twelvemonth, by ignoring the elistence of the National School Society, mid detaching themselves from that side of the iteration in which I should have thought, at ill event., looking upon their principles as they avow thou themelvie, they were mine interested than any part of the corniounity. New, I speak with some degree of feeling on thissubj. et, because I hare takers to this secular school amiciatem simply and purely, as I have avowed *gain arid *gain, is cause I thought there was a great act of injustice perp :treed upon diesenters. I thougot they were going to be wee iged by another system which they re garded as a oystem of endowment.. 1 have again and again said, that as one who every Sunday take my children to a parish church, and therefore ant as it were, upon endowment, I could nut plead foe a) elf that I hail then conscientious scruples which I was tutu awl believed the iliosenters had. I took up this secular spit. m Iseauei I thought while it did no injustice to the church, it did injustice to dissenters. I find the great body of dia....titer* nut only holding al vii, but some of them—Dr. Halley, fur instance, and his trimids, and the great organ et their nine, the Banner—stating that if driven to take one Or the other they will take the church system. Do they underot an d their own principles ? Have I done right in believing oh it they have told me of their principles— that they ehun the system of endowments ? I was ad vocating the American system of education, because I lime there, in America, it was applied to the satisfac tiou of those descendents of the nonconformist' who have not taupe ten their principles (applause) and where we know the nysteni work. without injury to the rights of coned. nee of any belie dual in the country. I speak thus emphatically upon this subject, because I don't hesitate to say lam for an education of the people. I believe the great meet of the people take lest hitt:feat in this sectarian squabbling than many others of us are apt to imagine. Tau great mats of the people want education for their children; are sick to death of these obstacles you threw in their way. (Loud bursts of cheering.) I be lieve that when our eztendeel franchise throws more power into the hands of the multituee—(prolimeed cheers)—you will bee that what I say is true, that there is a feeling for national education which will c set some of these cobwebs with which you attempt to blind the great mass of the people ; and feeling this, and having done my lest to do yn,tic: to an parti s in the matter, I say now emphatically, I vote for ewucatiou ; I'll support education; I'll do the best I can for lbs.:niers; but I'll never oppose a system of edu cation which promises to give to the may of the people an opportunity of raisiegthenstelves in life, and benefitingtheir ehildren, by has ine is share in its advantages, which sa Mr. tlembe,ys, those alone above them have hitherto enjoyed. I don't thee fore profess. to ionic here to oppose the heal plan. I believe if that plait Ise a.hpt.d it would remain where it is. (Hear.) I believe if we once get a nystem of free schools, the spirit of a free school will very soon lonsera itself of the minds of the eivele, that it will lie found here, as it bad been found in Ireland, under a far severer 'reroute and test than it ever roll have in this country ; it is superior in its strength to oliwet all other influences; :rod 1 believe if we once establish a system of tree schools supported by rates in this country, it won't be long that you who pay rates here in %inchoate will allow either human catholic" or Jew, to be eleltuled 'luta the hem tit' of those rites. (Ap plause.) I won't go into the quell ion of hoe far the people of this reentry want educative. GO and inquire amongst the people themselves. (Ilear, beer.)

They tell us, that voluntaryism hat worked well. I say we are the only people that have had volueturyisim and we are belied all the world. %What do they say in Amu erica? 'leer what Mr. Daniel Webster said, in a speech delis red at an open-air meeting the other day, In V. aohington :—" The population of the United States is !M,000,000. Now take the map of the continent of Europe, and spread it out before you. Take your sods and pour divider., and lay off an area in say shape gale please. • triangle, a each.. a peralieleienim, or a tram*, and of an extent that shall contain 150,000,000 of pimp* sad there will be found within the United States MOO persono who do heb.tiutUy reed and write thaw am be embraced within the lines of your demarkation." But in the United States they don't trust to voluntaryism. They mike use of their parochial municipal eaminisatioa to secure a system of schools free to all, paid for by all, and not a system of schools inertly fur that clew of destitute people: to which Mr. Baynes has alluded. The New Eng land schools have as grown and improve d, that they have taken in by degrees trom one class to another, from owe grade to another, till now, in many parts of New England, you find no private schools at all. All classes are educated at the common public rchouls. It is my firm twilit that, in Otis country, a system of schools once established, paid for by all, would very soon here—as in the ease of the King Swinhourne school. conducted so admirably by the Hey. Mr. Dates—he found that, by degrees, the small farmer's son would he sitting by the labourer's son; and as you im proved still more in your system of education, the small tensicr's son would be coming and taking his seat by the side of the rich farmer's son. I have no doubt in the world that would be the case, be cause by combination—by co-operation—you would have a better system of schools than you could have anywhere else ; sad therefore I don't look to a system of free schods as one of charity far the great MASS of the people-1 mean for the poorest people. Oae of the beneflei we should de rive front common school. would be that it would cause that greater intermixture and blending of society that would lead the middle and working classes to send their children to one common school, where they would become nine° familiars , d in their common views and testes and habits, mil the boys would be brought up in a genial sympathy and more interatame than that which prevails at present in this country. (Hear, bear.) Ido not agree with those gentle men who tell us that the voluntary sys.cra has answered, I don't agree with then. I my, 'Go unto the highways and byways end termite for yourselves." (Hear, hear.) IdeattbMb it is safe for usu a nation to be the most igno nem protestant people us the face of the earth. This is a pe riod an the world's history, when the very security,. the trade, and the pro,rrem of a nation, depend, not so much on the contest of arms. a on the rivalry in science and the arts, which must spring from education. Even lately, we have been inviting al the world to a great competition. Did any refl cling man walk through the (Lied Exhibition without feeling that we were apt to be a little under a riche sins as to the quality of men in other pain, and their capa city to create thine ;afters of utility of which we are apt to think sometimes we possess a monopoly of the produc tion in this country ? Did nabody fe.l somewieit struck at the vast superiority of the French in articles of taste and delicate manipulation ' • and were we not equally struck to lad ourselves so closely trod on the heels in everything that related to the more rude utility of life, in American pro dustless, when we found ourselves beaten in shipbuilding, in leeks, pistols, and many other things we had to show ? Did it not make Englishmen feel that they had to look about them? And how will you be able to rally—bow will you attain to any improvements In arts and manu factures in any way but by improving the education of your people; and I do net think we can wait. And there re a reason why . I am Creel to death of this re cularian carrel, which to preventing the people from balm mis timed: year after year is wain away, and the period we Ys laws le not to be recalled. Why. it has beat stated in public, it has been stated in our public Tecords, that the poor peerde do not send their chilaren to school upon an average more than two or three jean, and in some vises not mote than ten months. Kell, we have passed over two or three yeah in this sectarian strife, in which we prevent the people from having education as they have in America, by a system of common schools, and whilst we are doing so a veneration, a section of the com munity, passes into mature life without any edueation at all. One great wave of humanity passes on , and we never get a eau: of the tide, to have a chance of giving these people an education. We cannot wait! I hope the people of Manchester will rouse themselves to a consideration of the danger and difficulty of this matter. I hope you who have gained to many victories in other things will find younelves called upon to exert yourselves not only for your own benefit, but for the benefit of the people at large. I augur well from the large meeting I ace here tonight ; I augur from it that you take en interest iu this subject. I am told that a still larger meeting is to take place to-morrow on this subject; all this augurs well of the interest yen take in this question. If Manchester men will direct their minds to this question perseveringly and energetically, and if you consider that in this case, as in a former atruggle, you are fi,hting the battle, not only for England, but, in some degree, for the whole civilised world. I have no doubt you will present such a case to the House of Commons next session ; that • • shall be relieved from any doubt or difficulty as to the course we shall have to pursue. fiend up your petitions fur what you conceive to be the right measure for Manchester anti Salford; give in your support, and your members, I have nu doubt, will do their duty in this matter, and most happy I shall be to be found alongside of them in that which is proved to be necessary.

Dr. WATTS also spoke at some length, and the proceed ings concluded at a late boar. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Dsc. 3.

TED LANCLOHIai AND YORKSHIRE RAIL. WAY COSINENT.—LIABILITT Or RAILWAY COMPANIES TO COMPLETE TIE LINE AND BRARCRIS FOR Willa, TIDY °STAIN THEIR ACTS. to this case a writ of mandamus had been issued by this court in June last commanding the defendants to construct • line of ragway, about Ave miles in extent, from Salter hebble to Huddersfield. The return which the defendants made was that they had been served with the writ of man damus on the 21,4 of June, and their compulsory powers expired on the 18th August, and that the interval was in sufficient to enable the company to purchase the land re quired and to exercise their compulsory powers. They had also returned that they had not sufficient funds for the pur pose, nor the means of raising them, either by calls or bor rowing money. It an and that the comnany had the power of borrow ing and calling up 1,300,0001., and that the cost of the proposed branch would be about 300,0001. They intended to abandon the branch in question, and had given notice. since the service of the writ of mandamus, of an intended application to parliament, in the ensuing session, for an act enabling them to do so. A number of surveyors were called on either side to prove the time that would be neces , sexy to complete the requisite steps for giving notice to the landowners on the line. The witnesses for the proeecn , tem stated that a fortnight or three weeks would be am ply sufficient, whilst the defendants' witnesses, and amongst them Mr. Brunel, Sir W. Cubitt, and Mr. piddle, said it could not possibly be done in less thou ten weeks or three months. Lord Campbell, in leaving the ease to the jury, observed that he was bound to act on the supposition that the legis lature, when the act was passed, imposed on the company an obligation to complete the whole of the line and its branches, and they were guilty of a breach of duty in not doing so. It would be very hard on landowners, and the shareholders generally, if such were not the law, because the persons through whose land the line was proposed to pass, and other subscribers might take shares upon the latth of its being completed ; and there was in fact, a con tract between the company and all the subscribers to the undertaking that the whole line with its proposed branches should be completed. In this case the defendants had been ordered by mandamus to complete the line; and under each urgent circumstances there could be but little doubt that all the necessary preli minaries might have been effected before the compel wry powers given to the company, by their act, had ex pired. He did not intend to cast any reflection on the highly respectable witnesses who had been called by the de fendants, and who were ro doubt men of s • honour and integrity, but they evidently contemplated an amount of deliberation wlfeh would not be justified when the defen dants were acting under the command of a mandamus. The company did not appear in a very creditable light, because they had evidently, from the first, made up their minds that they would not obey the mandamus, and Lid actually given notice of their intention to apply to parliament for an act to enable them to abandon the very branch which the Court of Queen's Bench had commanded them to make. The jury found for the prosecution on all the issues. TILE QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF FARBER AND OTHERS O. THE LANCASSINE AND YORESILtaE RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action against the same defendants under exactly similar circumstances, the branch in this instance being 18 miles in length, namely, from Bowling, near Bestowed, to Leeds. In this ease the plans had been pre pared, the line staked out, and souse of the notices to land owners hod been given, before the company determined to abandon the branch line; but the writ of mandamus was not issued until the 17th of July. Lord Cam bell, in summing up, said the company had set the mandamus at defiance, and did not come very cre ditably before the court. It was for the jury to say whether they ought not to be compelled to do that which they had contracted to perform. Verdict for the crown on all the issues.

This action had already been once tried, and also had been before the superior court. It is, therefore, only necessary now to say that the defendant sued the plaintiff in the Whitechap.:l County Court for 151. 10s., and obtained an order for payment by instalments of 15s. a month. The plaintiff was subsequently discharged by the Insolvent Court, but alter that event the defendant obtained an order from the County Court for payment at 10s. • month, or, in default, that the plaintiff should he committed for 20 days. This order was bad in form, and therefore the present action was brought. • The Chief Justice directed the jury that if the defendant had simply put the County Court in motion he was not liable, but if he had gone to the court and asked specifi cally for the warrant, then he was liable.

The prosecutor stated that about half-past one o'clock that morning he was with his cab in the ranks in Broad. street, when tho prisoner went up to him and made use of very abusive language, and expressed his regret that he had not the power to inflict punishment on him for reducing the cab fare to 6d. per mile. The prisoner then wanted to go into and take it sway. Ile was drunk, and complainant believed his sole object was to annoy him for driving a cab plying at a reduced rate. - Police-constable Mulhan, 129 F, stated that ho was called by the complainant to take the prisoner into cus tody, having witnessed the transaction. The prisoner also abused witness in a very coarse manner. Mr. Henry said that there was uo doubt that the prisoner meant to oppose the reduced cab fares, but he would find that the magistrate would support Mr. Thompson, or any other cab proprietor who reduced the fares, which was of consequence to the public. He was determined to put down such opposition on the part of persons, like the defendant, interested in maintaining high fares, and had the prisoner been with his cab at the time, his licence should have been tak,ti front him • but any cab driver so offending in future would have his licence revoked and be imprisoned. The prisoner must pay a tine of 10s. for abusing the complain mit, and tie. for abusing the constable, or be imprisoned for one calendar month. His worship hoped this example would be for the benefit of the public in reduced cab fare. In the course of the hearing, the prosecutor said his earn ings had doubled since he had reduced his fare. EST3I I N S'f ER. F4word liarrlay wee charged with obtaining money nn-ler fraudulent practices. On the 17th uh., Mr. Elliott, of 5, Oxford-terrace, Chel sea, ordered and paid for a tun of coals at Mr. Druce's Swan-wharf, Queen's-road, and on the following day they were sent to his house . Tho prisoner fell in with Mr. Druce's cameo upon the road, and proffered his services to assist in the delivery. Mrs. Elliott, who was not aware that her liuslnind had paid for the coals, asked the carman for the bill, and having been informed that he had not got one, prisoner, who was standing by, toiple advantage of what he heard to commit a fraud, and in an hour or two afterwards returned to the house, and said he hod been sent by the wharf clerk at Mr. Deuce's for the money for the coals, and had been abured like a pickpocket for not hoeing received it at the time of their delivery, adding, that his mate, the car man, had torn up the bill to light his pipe. Mrs. Elliott expressed her willingness to pay if prisoner brought a hill and receipt, and he shortly produced one, purporting to come from Mr. Druce, for 11.35., and was paid the money. Oa the following day the fraud was discovered, and the accused being met with yesterday was taken into custody, when he very coolly informed the constable that nothing could be done with him, as ho was not the person who wrote the forged bill. In answer to the charge the accused said another man made out the bill and scut him with it, and all the other MALI gave him out of the money was Bs. He was committed for trial. THAME.S. Was. Murphy, 26, a cooper, residing at 39, Middle-gross street, St. George's, and Mary Ann, his wife, also 26 years of age, ware brought up on remand, charged on suspicion of cait,ihg the death of their two children, Bridget, aged two and a half years, and William, aged 12 months. Mrs. Walsh, who gave evidence at the lost examination, now added to her former statement, that on Wednesday the female prisoner remarked that she wished all her children were dead, and she would not bo then long with her hus band, who she stated was • brute to the children. The Sunday after the death of the children, witness said to the prisoner that two or three had been got rid of quick], enough. The prisoner pointed to her daughter Bridget, and said—" I wish she had died first, but as it is I suppose 1 I mast bury them both on Wedneslay." Sarah Ann Smith, 16, Upper Grove-street, said the pri soners lodged at her house from the 2nd of April until the 27th of August, she had three children. The first five weeks they were strict teetotallers and very quiet; but one Saturday night they broke the pledge. and returned very tipsy. When Mrs. Murphy was sober, she was a correct, i gooa mother, and kept her children clean. When she was tipsy she was insensible to everything— Female prisoner—Oh no. Mr. Yardley—lf you interrupt the witness, her depo sition will be taken in your absence. Witness—The children would generally on Mondays and Tuesdays be lett alone from nine in the morning till four or five in the evening. The children cat part of whatever witness had. She sow the female prisoner kick the cLildzen on one occasion. The father was very kind to them. Male Prisoner—l always treated them well. Mr. Yardley—You do not seem to be aware of the charge. It is not one of violence. You will be commalffieel for trial for manslaughter, caused by neglect and mast of proper sustenance. 1 shall remand the case till ffieetiey, and you, Sergeant Kelly, bad better try to got seas evi dence as tolthe man's means. Sergeant Kelly—lt will be difficult to do that, uhe works at all the docks. lie told me ho had three or four days' work a week. The prisoners here broke out into loud lamentations, and begged, to be let out on bail, to be present at the burial of their children. Mr. Yardley declined admitting them to bail. This was a serious charge. The prisoners then asked where the children would be buried, and Sergeant Kelly answered at St. George's Church, Mr. Yardley—The prisoners see remanded till Monday. Murphy—Will you give me a bit of a letter, Mr. Yard ley, not to be put in a cell by myself, as I have been ? It will unman me altogether. Mr. Yanllsy---1 csa't interfere with that. The prisoners were thus removed, sobbing bitterly. DREADFUL PRIVATIONS Oy A —The following details of the loss of the ship Peephole, and su'isequent rescue of the crew and passengers from a burls island, where they had been exposed to much suffering and privation fur 42 days, is extracted from the Port Louie Commercial Gazette :—"Oa the 31st of July, at 4 o'clock am., the French ship Prorhete, Cap tain Baird, from l'ort Louis, Mauritius, July `9, struck on the most northern island of the Cargados bank, and was soon a complete wreck. The whole of the crew and passengers, amounting to 27 souls, and part of the specie (1,20 W.) were saved. They remained on this island (North Island) without having anything further to subsist upon than marine birds and their eggs until September 11, when they perceived a vessel at sea, to which some of them instantly put off in a boat fee the purpose of obtaining assist ance, and which proved to be the Isabella Hercus, Houston, master, from Mauritius. Arrangements were at once made for receiving the whole of them on board, and the vessel anchored in Port Louis harbour on September 21. Among the passengers were M. A. Brunet, Chevalier of the Legion of Honour, with his wife and two daughters, who have suf fered severely from the fatigue and privations they have undergone. They speak in the highest terms of the kind and humane conduct of Captain Houston, and Mr. Edgar, one of the passengers. As far as we can ascertain, the ac cident was closed by the strength of the currents, which carried the ves-41 out of her course ; and we call the atten tion of masters of vessels to the nectsy of furnishing every information derived from their observations on the nature of current' near these island& COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-YESTERDAY. Clair Jt,nca Nsu rams is Ntoexese.... JARVIS AND • hPICIAL SOMERS O. ASPINWALL.—SEDUCTION. This case was partly heard yesterday, and it will be re membered that it was founded upon an instrument purport ing to be signed by the late Mr. Aspinwall, and binding him to pay 501. a year to support his three illegitimate chil dren, of which the plaintiff was mother. This morning the hearing of the case was resumed by it being proposed to examine Mrs. Aspinwall as to the state of her husband's affairs at the date of the instrument, but Ins lordship ruled that such questions could nut be put, and nu ether witness was called. Mr. Serjeant Byles then replied, and urged upon the Jury that they started upon the consideration of this Case with two facts clear, that these were Mr. Aspinwall'e elsildren, and that no imputation could be made upon the plaintiff except in so far as her character had been ruined by Mr. Aspinwall. It was also clear that SJJ. ay. or had bees allowed to the plaintiff us long as Mr. Aspinwull and this frequent applications had been . :mule to him to MAO NUM permanent prevail in fur her . *the plaintiff pro emial an instrument carrying out such an intention, and two RIIRDWRI Ware that they U. Lim sign it. liis learned brother Wilkins said in effect, I charge those witnesses with perjury, forgery, and conspiracy," and lie asked the jury to brand them with those imputations. But upon what evidence ? It was said that the deceased invariably abbreviated his Christ:an name, whilst to this do cument it was in full. But the plaintiff Ineught inn, court the most solemn instrument he ever executed—his will; and to that his name was put in full. Next, it was said that he never commenced his surname with the proper e,pital A, but with a round A made large. Now, he had had the curiosity to look at the jury panel, and ho found that there were several gentlemen on the jury whose Christian names commenced with A, and he pat it to their expe rience whether they had not sometimes written that letter the one way and sometimes the other ? Again, it was said that this signature was not genuine, but was an imita tion; but, if this were so, then a genuine signature had been imitated, • according to the dell.nilant's eye ; and if there had been such an imitation, the A would have been an ordinary capital, and the Christian name would have been :written in full. He also submitted to them that the document itself contained strong internal evidence of its genuineness, and he concluded by imploring them to consider meet carefully before they gave a verdict for the defendant and fixed upon the witnesses to the document is question the serious charge, to which he had referred. The Chief Justice then summed up, and committed to the consideration of the jury this painful and, according to his view, most serious and difficult case. During the whole course of his experience lie had rarely heard a case pre. suited in a manner more calculated to enlist 'their sympa thies or to impress their reason than this hart been by the learned *engem% who had just sat down—a speech in which every conceivable point in the case had been touched upon. Thu only question, however, for them was "14 e, or no; wu this paper signed by Mr. Aspinwall? ' The mare able the speech of the learned counsel, the more athetrame his duty to make to them the observations which amparred to his own mind upon the subject. His lordship I then went through the evidence, and remarked upon the I extraordinary statement that this agreement bad been kept secret, even until after the action was brought ; and it did not appear even that Mr. Haynes, tke then attorney I of the plaintiff, knew of it. Mr. Haynes—My Lord, I knew of that agreement ift May. The Chief Justice said it was improper to interrupt at this stage of the proceedings, and he was of opinion that the jury ought not to pay any attention to what Mr. Haynes had said, but to look only to the evidence. His lordship then analysed the evidence, and left the whole cue for the consideration of the jury, and charged them to decide it without reference to the consequences. The jury left the court at half-past twelve to consider the matter, and.nt half-past four o'clock they returned and stated that there was no likelihood of their agreeing, they differed on every point. TM Chief Justice said it was a great pity, for the parties boss put to berry expenses, and be had no power to iththargethe jury except by consent. Mr. Sall and Mr. Brown, the junior counsel in the ease, NM they would leave the matter entirely in the hands of the court. The Chief Justice said ho would see the learned counsel in his private room, and, having done so, he came into court and said that, under sil the circumstances he would discharge the jury; and they were accordingly discharged without heving_given a verdict. BIGNRLL 0. 10DDT.—THI CARD CURATINO CASE AT Swanton. _ _ This was an action to recover the sum of 1501. deposited by the plaintiff with the defendant, to indemnify him as bail (or Nottidge, who was committed for perjury in con nexion with the card cheating case at Brighton. The de fence wee that the money was deposited with the defendant to enable him to swear that he was worth the amount fur which he was to be bail, suit that this agreement being an illegal one, the money could not be recovered. Mr. Serjeant Wilkins opened the ease, and said that the plaintiff was joiut leave of the Argyle Room, in (treat Windmill-street, which were now let to M. Laurent fur his Casino. Mr. iottidgc was cook at this estallehment, and when Staden was committed at Brighton, be offered hdl fur him, but the result was that he himself was committed fur perjury. The plaintiff thereupon pot Mr. Putter end the defendant as bail fur him, and he deposited with the defendant 2.501. to indemnify him. Thu defen dant had been bootmaker to the plaintiff fur some time, and it happened in consequence of this being so that he was asked to became bail. The defen dant would say that the 2501. was given to him to enable him to swear that be was worth 2.501., but this was not so, for they would hear that the defendant represented to the plaintiff that he was worth more than that of his own property. The fact, however, turned out to be that Mr. Potter's bail was taken for 60W. instead of he and the debarking being bail for 2401. each, and under these eireaniatemees mom should have been returned. Only lb& of this way kievareer, had been given back, and it was far be balance that tbe_gesment action was brought. Mr. Aadeseon said that is Imber last he went with the plaintiff to the defendant, who was a bootmaker in Peaderstetreeit. Mr. Bignell asked Mr. Paddy if he was in , a polities to bail a man, if he was worth Z5O/., and he said he was. He said that the lease of his house had been waiting for him to sign for a week, his house was furnished, one door was let for (witness thought) U. Ss. a week, and even his book debts were worth much more than that. ! Mr. Bignell then asked him if he would bail a a person for him and he said he did not know. Mr. Big . sell said ..Iknow what yes mean, I will indemnify you " MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, Disc. 3. The sales to-day are—Sugar : 1,500 bags Madras at 2-53.

T. H. Gill in the chair. The general object of the meeting, as expressed in the advertisement, was to take into consideration an attack on the people of Birmingham, contained in an article which appeared in the Times news paper on the 10th ult. • also to consider tho general conduct and policy of t hat paper during the last twenty years, as opposed to the feelings of the mast of the people It p rofessed to represent ; and to adopt some course of ac tion for the removal of the paper from all the news-rooms, libraries, and places of public resort.—Mr. W. Ashford, a highly respectable manufacturer, moved the first resolu tion That this meeting, taking into coraideration the aptitude for slander, the reckless mendacity, the selfish in consistency, and the servile and sordid spirit which have long characterised the Times uswspaper, cannot but regard the leading position of that tournal in the English cress as morally discreditable to the English nation, and deems it an important duty to use its most strenuous endeavours to remove the said newspaper from that position." Ho suggested that a placard should be placed in every hotel throughout the town, to which visitors might attach their signatures, implying a request that the Times should not he taken in: 11. H. Horton seconded the resolution.—Mr. John Smith, solicitor, who appeared to defend the Times, moved the following amendment: " That the Times is one of the most independent organs of the press, and ought to be supported." Mr. Smith, in support of his amendment, re-opened the vexed question relating to the Baroness von Beck. The meeting became impatient, and hints were given that the speaker's object was a ram to get the meeting dissolved without a resolution being come to. In a little time the hissing waxed into a storm of disapprobation, and a show of hands being taken by the I chairman on the question of Mr. Smith being allowed to proceed, it was decided against him by an immense ma jority, and Mr. Smith retired (as he said), not in deference to the wish of the majority, but to the request of the chairman.—Mr. James Warden seconded the amendment ; I and directly afterwards both ho and the mover of it were hissed out of the hall.—Mr. J. S. Smith, also a large menu istsrer, moved the next resolution. In doing this Ito re viewed the conduct of the Times for the last 20 years, and characterised it as a scandalous publication. Ono secret of the animosity which animated its conductors, as regards Birmingham, was to be found in the fact, that some 10 Iyears since Mr Walter came down and expressed his great anxiety to represent Birmingham in parliament; he was, however, soon told that he was not wanted, and the result VMS that every popular movement since, which originated in Birmingham, had been denounced by the Times. For his own part he had ceased to read the Times and he hoped that all classes, masters and men, would follow his example. Mr. Smith concluded by submitting the following resolu tion " That, in furtherance of this object, every individual attending this meeting pledges himself on no occasion or bi n T i mes,et o n r k e t r o , pretence nee whate ver rtise ireia to J r u . r; e hat . c w olg le o s f al t e h ca e seconded the resolution, which was carried by acclamation. —The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. W. B. Plant, and by Messrs. Park, Foster, and Davis, working men ; the latter, who was much applauded, described the Times as the upholder of despotism and the bugbear of the world's indignation. Foster said that he had become a subscriber to a news-room on purpose to vote out the Times ' and he knew many working men who bad followed his example. The following resolutions were duly moved and carried, as had been all the preceding ones, with only three or four dissentient voices : " That every individual attend ing this meeting pledges himself to make every effort to procure the expulsion of the Times from the news room or library with which he is connected." " That every person attending this meeting pledges himself to do all that in him lies to prevent others from purchasing or encouraging the Times in railway conveyances, and in all other places, and at all other times." A committee was appointed to carry out the object of the resolutions. As a proof of the strong feeling against the Times it may be mentioned that, at a meeting of the subscribers to the New Library, not a long time since, a motion for the expulsion of the paper was only lost by t hel chairman's casting vete • and at this moment a motion stands on the paper for di; elusion at the annual meeting of the Old Library, the object being to exclude the Times and substitute the Daily News in its place. EARLY DELIVERY oP LETTERS.—Tho Postmaster- General has succeeded in effecting arrangements, which will come into operation in a few days, by which the in habitants of the populous districts of Clapham, Stockwell, and Brixton-hill, will receive their general post letters nearly two hours earlier than heretofore; and inqui ries are making with a view, if possible, to accelerate the delivery of these letters in other districts near London.
