R. FARNALL, Special Commiaaioner." The Mayor of STALTIIIIIIOI said much surprise had been expromed in his town on the publication of a report from Mr. Farman last week, as to the smallness of the whole poor-rate in Sislybridge. He bad himself easertased that one nmaufacturer alone had paid a greater amount of money • for the poor-rates than Ifr. Farman had reported last Mon day ma paid by the whole town of Stalybridge. He had had • eenvematios with Mr. Fantail on the imbject, and understood that gentleman intended to set the matter right at the meeting ci the executive committee. Mr. F/11111ALL said the only point m which his report had been geseimsd was one in which a =Make was very natu ral—he had made out a rerun for litalybridge, which only "Trto " Stay." Mayor of Erstreeuras said people in that borough could n emly usduetand how the mistake should ham bees made. Though the borough was in three townships, it did not occupy the whole of any oee of them. But certainly the large property owners had been very meth annoyed at the report; became it stated they had only contributed about 2e. ltd., whereas they bad bees benefited by subscriptions throughout the country the extent of about 11. 6s. During the period ' by Mr. Tarsal they bed three rates levied—two of 2e. each, and one of 4s. 6d. The Hot. SWILITIET (Mr. J. W. Maclure) presented the executive committee's monthly report. He said the figures with regard to persona out of employment were nememrily those for the week ending February 28. The new returns showing the exact state of employment would be published next Thursday. The report was as follows : " The Ceara Execrative Committee regrets that the employment of oaten workmen in mills and loom-sheds has again andergeasimosiderable fedi:Mies. The tabular return, compiled by the lemorary secretary, shows that at the close at a month after his Jaaisary report there were 5,956 fewer operatives welling fell time, and 6,036 lees worldng short time • wh il e 10,759 prmiotudy employed, bad been thrown entirely out of week. Os the other ball, the return of 'pang ems promoted the EOCCOIS ci the efforts of the popu lates to lied employment in these districts, as well as to go in search of work to neighbouring counties.

This wise and beneficent form of effort be in comma adoption, and, if it become general, may for several walls absorb the labour of a large number ci able-bodied men and youth. The bemired in fluence at these aorta is proved by the fact that, though the monthly return of the honorary secretary comprises tee additlosal relief districts with a population of about 10,000 operatives, the number of persona moment relief from the allied committees alone is lees by 4,562 than it was lest moll and there are 1,683 fewer persons chose relief is alas in part derived from the poor rates, besides a reducties of 12,1106 persons receiving aid from boards of guardians is W unions.

Nor is your committee at liberty to shut oat of imasideration the extra ordinary capacity which the home industry of England hadi to absorb labour—nor the inevitable casualties attending mama-ion—the waste of life during acclimatisation in un settled countries under hardship and privation—and the oomparative want of adaptation of the factory population to these grave risks. Though, therefore, your committee feel that the true interesta of these districts are . from a rate of wages sufficient to the comfort, the iodependenee, and the f a tenigeoce of the cotton workmen, they do not oonsider themselves able to determine with certainty that a large = i on is now necswary to protect the uderests of the ' in these caveats. They are deliberately of opinion that it is better, in the themes of such certainty, to leave the extant of that emigration to be determined by the wants of the colonies, and the intelligence of the workmen in discerning their own interests. Any more positive inter. forams should, in their opinion, be reserved until it is clear ; that the cotton d i stricts have a population which cannot within a moderate period be profitably employed in the manufacture, or absorbed in other work in these or other remake of England ; or, until it is certain that these ; results cannot be at tained without a deterioration in the physics' and moral condition of the port lation.

(Applause.) It was a district in which there bad been an unfortunate division between the committees sod the clergy of the district. The clergy were pissed in OONIE=LNII relations with the operatives suffering from the But they had not been included on the committees. The committee, however, had advised from the first that clergy should be admitted, so that their corepadanate view might be mingled with the badness cspacities of others to work together for the general good of the distressed. The argumeeta just modem of by the rev. gentleman was all on the side of unreasocing confusion, and contrary to the experience of the whole country. (Cheers.) Boob remarks were calculated more than anything else to diraulate disorderly persona, sad they were exactly that upon which these recent disorders had been founded, sad sow attempted to be justified. (Hear, hear.) The meeting could therefore hold no parley with them ; no terms could be made with them. (Applause.) The usaion hid like wise hem Mad whether two centres of ' were =to cm. Respecting that there could be but one arenas It did not baeome them as • committee to make remarks upon the oddest of another committee. Nothing that bad fallen from the rev. geotleman'a lips would induce thelocal authorities to desert their duties and proceed upon a n other basis of action than that hitherto adopted. (A nee.) Oolossel W. Atm, M.P., said that Si, J. Kay Shuttle worth having spent the previous week in the districts where the disturbances had arisen, had only spoken as he felt when he every endeavour to uphold riot and disorder in the strong terms he had need. At the same time other means might be used to endeavour to persuade the rev. gentleman to take a different view. The clergy of that dis trict might be looked upon es being capable of giving great amistance to the committee in the discharge of their arduous duties ; and if the rev. gentleman could he per suaded to adopt a different some be (Colonel Attu) should consider himself to be very fortunate. The real fact was, that in the first instance the clergy were excluded from the committee, and this had led them to take • hostile view of the proceedings of any committee organised without them. (Hear, hear.) It was much to he regretted they had not taken a different course, and given to the committee their Realms co-operation in carrying out the very difficult task they bad to perform. This was the fiat time the rev. gentleman opposite (Mr. Eager) bad attended a committee meeting ; if he had been peseta at previous meetings he would not have laid himself open in the manner he had done, but would have seen that the whole of the ender yours of the committee from the first had been to make as liberal • distribution of the funds as they pos sibly could. (Applause.) What could the rev. gentleman mean by saving _ that the committee did not make liberal pante? Had not the rev. gentleman seas the subscription lists lately, and that during the last few months they bad been gradually going down, as if the great generosity of the public was as tut seemingly ex hausting ? The fact was that for the previous seven months the committee lid been getting 40,0001. • week, whams lately they were only getting from 4,000/. to 6,000/. per week. Wu it then at each • time as this that the rev. gentleman was recommending a larger distribution 'of grants? If that gentleman had attended previous meet ings, with all hie good feeling for the people amongst whom he lived, instead of claiming larger grants from the com mittee, he would consider how be could distribute the money in hand with the greatest prudence, looking at the dismal future we have before as. The rev. gentleman would do • peat service if, instead of telling his siongreption that the committee were dealing with • mussily hand in the distri bution of their funds, he would tell them they were doing the beat they possibly could for the benefit of all. It was totally impossible that the committee, under the present circumstances, could be more liberal then they were at the present moment. (Hear, hear.) The committee, it was to be hoped, were as charitable se rev. gentlemen, but there was this difference, they had is spobilitias which the rev, gentleman knew nothing about. It vas all very well for the rev. gentleman opposite (Mr. Boger) to come from his own part* and say the committee were dealing with • niggardly band when he was evidently ignorant of the whole nature of the use that was before him. The rev. gentleman should be cautious before be stigmatised the committee as not being liberal. Mr. JOHN CHLITHAN said that as a magistrate of Staly bridge, quite unconnected with the relief committee, wished to offs? • few obeervatioos ; to side his belief NI to the cause of these disturbances; sod to ix the responsi bilit them upon the penis' upon whom they should be six The rev. gentleman had said that it was wall known that the population of the Stalvbridp district was exceed. tasty disorderly and riotous. (. Eager I said part of it) lie (Mr. Cheethain) did not comer in that. Bat he did know that in no other past of the mandate taring district@ was there • person whose only occupation Is life was to agitate and set dm against class, and who had for the last few months been publicly seeking to un dermine the inflame and discredit the exertions of the ' Mist committee. He (Mr. Cheatham) was not surprised that the cod of these labours should be scenes such as those men* witnessed. The individual to whom he had re tested was one whom he would not name, u he was beneath his contempt ; but when he (Mr. Cheatham) found there were gentlemen holding the same position as Mr. Eager who actually came forward to interfere and give their sym pathy to those who were creating these disturbances— (Mr. No") when he found them laying entirely upon Mrs relief committee the whole of these disturbances ; ekes he found that notwithstanding the personal applies, tics made by one of them, whom he deeply regretted was mixed up with such a matter, and to whom he gave advice which would have prevented any riot; when he found that that advice was set made ; when he found thin gentlemen's colleague going up to London, aid 'sedum down a Women to has colleague in the country, saying," The Lord Mayor has gives us 6001. ; ticket. must not be accepted on any grounds placard the walls, if neoesiary"—when he found this, what was his responsibility ? If that gentleman's col league had Awarded the walls on that Tuesday evening the ileota would have been mewed on the following day, and he (Mr. Cheatham) should have laid, and did lay, at the door of that rev. gentleman the respon sibility of what occurred and what might have cosorred. These circumstances were too grave to be omitted. When the distress became larger, after the formation of the diet committee, the mayor called • meeting of all the ale rpmei and ministers of religion. Only four attended, and tits rs solotioa pared was that there was not enough distaste le form another committee. Another meeting was sakes , queerly called, and not • single clergyman or minister of religion attended. The committee were therefore obliged to form in the best way they could. That nemittee had alwas acted from the purest motives, sad from the s ole desire to benefit those for whose benefit they were formed. There was no resolu tion excluding clergymen or ministers of religion. What ever might have been the private and local disputes ; how ever clergymen or others might differ from the acts of the local committees, their duty was to calm disturbances, sad to have suggested to the classes to send • deputation to wait upon the committee. If rumour were correct be had been told that some time ago • deputatioa was appointed to wait upon the committee; but by the advice sad inflame of these three clergymen the deputation never waited upon the committee. If that were true be laid all these dis graceful proceedings at the door of these three clergy man. (Hear, bear.) The proceedings shortly afterwards terminated. CENTRAL BEICITITIFE COMMITTEE A meeting of this committee was subsequently held; Sir J. I'. K. SHOTTLZWOITH, Bert., presidia& Mr. Boon Mason presented • memorial, signed by 4,320 workingmen is the Aslitoe-under.Lyne Limos, requesting as increase of grants to amble the committees to enlarge the rate of relief, and complaining of the large balance re , Seined in the central committee's treasury.

The tsakrupt, in answer to the court, stated that him bad debts arose from losses sustained by companies, chiefly life imams) companies. A gentleman, who represented the Profemional Life In surance Company, said that it bad been the practices of the bankrupt to mix hinted, up with these bubble companies to ceder to get the printing for them.

MOBIL-008TP OP nowt The bankrupts were cap manufacturers, of London-wall, who recently failed, owing upwards of 30,0001. They were presorted by the emigres for a conspiracy todefraud their creditors, were found guilty, and were sentenced to a period of impriaonment. His Honour said be bad caused the aceignece in this car —Mr. John Bagplley, Mr. Chadwick, and Mr. Lowrie—to be sent far, in consequence of • communication which he I had received from the Lord Chancellor in reference to the 'costa incurred in the prosecution of Braun and Mortar. The Lord Chaneellor said that the costa in throe matters had very much attracted his attention, and it was important that they should be watched. The costa in this case were of very large amount, 1,6001. or 1,7001., and when they came to ha taxed only 51. lls. was *true off by the Master of the Crown office. This, regarded r taxation, was simply ridiculous. But this so-called taxa tion was only attended by one sides the what*r whose bill was under taxation ; it was a unilateral proceeding. This ought to be remedie, and the Lord Cherellor had desired that the matter should be referred back to the taxing-officer, end that both sides should be represented. He (the com iniedoner) had therefore instructed a solicitor to watch the ass on the part of the creditors—Mr. Bead, of Graham street., a gentleman in whom the court had the purest con fidence ; and be wished to know whether the assigner, as representing the whole of the creditors, approved of this arrangement. He was glad that the Lord Chancellor bed taken this question of costs into his own hands, and in tended to watch it narrowly and closely. Mr. Baggalley and Mr. Lowrie expressed the concurrence of the assignees in the course proposed by his Honour, and said that they should be wanting in their duty to the com mercial world at large, as well as to the creditors who bad beau victimised, if they had in any way shrunk from carry ing on this prosecution. It had been takes up on public alone, and the solicitors bad devoted great time and undi labour to carrying it to a successful iisne. They bad but one object from first to ler, to prevent the recurrence of such nefarious proceedings ; and, with submission to the court, they felt that the charges were right and neoserry.

In 1861 be I assigned the Parlour Journal to his creditors; they car ried it on for a while, but finding that they lost money, they suggested that he should take it into his own hands again, on paying them a composition of fa. in the pound. This was done, and he had afterwards borrowed money to carry on the journal in the hope that the repeal of the paper duty would improve its position. Mr. Mackay, paper-maker, said that the bankrupt had applied to them in November last for 100 reams of paper for the Parlour Journal, which he represented to be a paying property. Finding that be had arranged with his creditors they declined to let him have more than 30 reams, and be then threatened them with an action for breach of contract. (Laughter.) Mr. Goodday said it appeared that the bankrupt bad com pounded with his creditors in 1861, and had afterwards con tracted debts of 4001. or 6001. The Commissioner—What probaBle expectation had you of paying those debts! The bankrupt said he had anent 6,0001. on the Parlour Journal and had been induced to keep it on in the expecta tion of its benefiting by the reduction of the paper duty, but there were now too many periodicals of that class.

The summons was dismissed, but on the last occasion the girl employed Mr. Goody, • solicitor at Sudbury ; and shortly after, on Tuesday, September 16, that gentleman appeared before the bench at Boxford Petty Seenoes as solicitor for the prosecution, when the prisoner wee charged with the crime of feloniously shooting at the MAO bees Reed, and was committed for trial to these amass. On that 0061d011 Mr. Jones, solicitor, of Colchester, appeared for the primer, and to - day instructed the learned conned for his defence. The prosecutor, base Reed, being called, said—ln De cember, 1861, I was living at Peaked. On the evening of the 6th I was at the Shoulder of Mutton public-hones, and left • little before 7. On pawing King Harry's Grove on my way borne about the middle of the trove, I felt some go through me, and immediately after beard the report of a gun. I cried out, " Oh, pray God, res dud" I dropped my stick, and as I came to myself I saw some all person getting out of the ditch. I got to my own door and fell down fainting. A doctor was sent for, who dressed my wounds. I was confined to my bed some months. It wee • very wet, dark night. I know the prisoner. In the April preceding we had • difference about some pigs, and there ins an action in the county court, and be beat ma. The sent witness was John Holmes, who worked for the prisoner in 1861, and till February, 1862. He said —On the night in question I was at work for the prisoner, and saw him leave the premises about 5 o'clock. He was dressed in • long light coat which he usually wore, and went in the direction of King Harry's Grove. I went home to tea, and started to go for some dour to my brotherda.kw, I went some distance, but it rained so hard 1 thought I should wet my flour, so I turned hack . This was in the road just before you get to King Harry's Grove. As I turned the prisoner passed me within three yards. He had on the same coat. He was gong towards King Harry's Grove. He coughed, and I knew his cough. I did not speak. I went to my work as usual next morning. I had heard Reed was shot, and I said to him, " It's a pretty shooting at Reel ;" and be said, " All moonshine, • man couldn ' t see to shoot • man so dark • sight. He couldn't see to shoot • cow, much lam a man." About a month after I was up at liumphrey'i (the prisoner's) house, and he gave me tome beer, and said, " They say I shot Reed ; but I know ha was up at the Shoulder of Mutton drinking along with his set ; they'll lay it ea Humphrey, u he is a bad one ; but what would be the pod of my shooting a man like that he his got no mousy.

This witness was severely cross-examined by Mr. O'Malley, but adhered closely to his statement. Four widows, were then celled who swore to seeing him is the road &ear King Harry's Grove between six and seven in the evening, and a potiosinas, to whom the prisoner had said, " Oh, the night Seed was shot I went home at 5, and didn't leave after. The case for the prosecution being closed, Mr. O'Malley addressed the jury for the defence, commenting strongly on the feet of the time that had elapsed since the =timbales of the offence, the fact of there being • reward of 50/. to be pined, the ill feeling subsisting on all hands against the prisoner, his conduct to all the wherries before and since the occurrence, and the very extraordinary circumstance beyond dispute that all the evidence now adduced was in the possession of the police within a week after the crime was committed. The Lord Chief Justice File having summed up, the jury retired, and after beiug absent upwards of an hour, returned into court with a verdict of Guilty. The judge sentenced the prisoner to be kept in penal ser vitude for life. With this case ended the Suffolk Lent Aasizes for 1863. oommittes, bald oa the sth Maroh7lB63.

Mr. Alderman GOADOBY asked whether it was not worth while to make another effort to bring about a union between the Mansion-house Committee of London and the Central Executive Committee at Manabeeter. He also mentioned that at a meeting of respectable working -Dm held wino days ego at Pendleton it was resolved to make a representation to the central committee, through a deputation which, be be. tiered, was now in waiting, in favour of their devoting a por tion of their funds to the assistance of emigration. He and others were of opinion) that to do so would be good economy cie the pat of the committee, and °outer a real mercy upon the recipients. Was it the pleasure of the gentlemen pre meet to see the Rev. Mr. Raley and other gentlemen, who were in attendance:es a deputation, on the subject? Colonel ?MIN, M.P., said as he was the Bra person who proposed the ama l gamation of the Lord Mayor's committee and the central committee, he might be allowed to say be thought it was sot now the pine et the latter committee to suggest to the Lord Mayor's committee that they should unite. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the question of emigration, be mast say a word or two on the financial part of the matter, as treason, of the Cotton Districts Re lief Fund. Looking at the state of that fund, and of the other funds, be did not see what could be done. There were 430,000 persons receiving relief. The funds in hand were not above If. la. a head, to maintain the whole of three thingh the struggle we were about to encounter. How, thee, could a larger portion be given to help emi grants than to these who remained at home? He believed the time was come when there would be beneficially a large einigration, but be dii not see how this committee could aid it. He was asked the other day whether he would vote for apportioning 31. per head in aid of emigrants. He declined, because it would be giving three yams' supply away from those who remained at home. The MATOI said he had intimated to Mr. Goadsby that I the deputation be had spokes of could not be received at t this meeting. It appeared to him that it would be out of , order to receive such a deputation, when the meeting had just adopted a report deciding to take no part in the quer , two. (Hear, hear.) The Rev.

At the same time be did not think this committee should be represented as concurring in the severe remarks of a previous speaker (Mr. Goadsby) as to the conduct of the Maneine.bones Committee in sending rid to Maly bridge. Being himself well-acquainted with that district, ' he believed the Manion-boon grant was made to meet the wants of those who werelknowe for their patient endurance, while the disturbances were made by others. Much was' . owing to Sir J.

Instead, however, of going in the direction of the place he hid inquired for, the prosecatrix was alarmed by seeing that the prisoner was following her, and she tried to run away from him. 80, however, ran after her, seised her, and threw her down, sad committed the offence imputed to him. The poor girl resisted to the utmost, and her screams and cries attracted the attention of two labouring men, who came up &admired the prisoner, and gave him into cus tody. The pri- WNW did not seem to deny that be had attacked the prose cumin in the way stated, and the only answer be seemed to give to the charge was that he was drank and did not know what he was about.

It appeared that the plaintiff had hese in the habit of executing beta for the defendant upon the different horse races, and when he woe he always remitted him the amount. It appeared ' however, that the plaintiff had lost 15/. by bets he had made at the request of the defendant, and as be could not obtain the money the present action was brought to enforce the claim. The only defence that was set up we, that under the Games and Wagers Act, the 16th and 17th Victoria, the amount claimed could not be reoovered, as it had been lost upon a contract for payment of • bet, which was in itself illegal. It was, however, contended, in answer to thin that although the bet was illegal , if the defendant authorised the plaintiff to pay it he was entitled to recover the money he had so paid. The Lord Chief justice expressed his opinion that the plaintiff was en titled to recover but be gave leave to the defendant to move for the verdict to be entered for him mut e e point of . law, if, upon consideration, he thought it The remainder of the day was occupied in disposing of common jury climes of the most uninteresting character.
