vie d against a graduated taz upon newspapers—of oos halfpenny on the paper osld for 20. or ad.. and one penny on the paper sold for Sd. or 6d. ? We do not uk for this : but we do ask fo i tome aw n equitable adjustment of this tax. Or, f that may not be, then abolish it altogether, and let us ham a stamped post cover. We are glad to see that Mr. C. PEARSON is exert ing himself to discharge a portion of the debt which he owes to his eonstituents and to the public, kee de riving them of the services of so able and useful a representative as the formes member for Lambeth, whom he supplanted. Mr. PEARSON has given no tice of the introduction of two bills, for the amend meet of criminal practice, which appear to us to be r emarkable judicious and practical measures. By one of these bills he proposes to extend the power which the officers of the Crown Courts exercise, of taxing the cats of prosecutions, to those of defences—a proposal to which it seems impossible that any objection can be raised on principle, although some skill and judg ment will be require d make the measure act, as it is intended, for the protection of prisoners. Few of our readers, except those who are conversant with criminal courts, are aware of the grievous ex tortion practised on persons committed for trial, and still more on their Mends and n- Wives, by the sham attornies and low pees& firmer* who haunt the purlieu of the prisons. T he respectable attornies who combine criminal towlines with their other practice, would welcome the intra l duction of any system which should secure their pro. fusion against the discredit unjustly brought upon it by the cleat of prisoner-defenders to whom we refer. The legitimate remuneration for their professional trouble would be in no degree interfered with, by an efficient taxation which would put an end to the ex tortionate bargains now made with the fears and the ignorance of the accused. In nineteen criminal trials out of twenty, the rea sonable expenses of a prisoner's defeaoe consist of the trifling fee paid for a copy of the depolitions, of the attorney's fee, and of the counsel's fee. Witnesses to character generally come, and always ought to come, at their own expense ; and it is not in more than one trial out of twenty, that witnesses to the facts are, or can be, called on the pert of the defence. In an ordinary case of larceny, the attorney for the prisoner has ' , nothing to do but to hand a copy of the depositions in the form of a brief to his counsel, and to be ready in court in cue his presence should be required. He is fairly entitled to a fee for his attendance; but his labour is much less than that of the attorney for the prosecution. The counsel's fee is regulated by custom. His talents and energies are much more heavily taxed than those of the counsel for the prosecution, and the payment which he receives is about the same. There seems no reason for any change in this respect; but it would be better that the taxing officer should have the opportunity of knowing in every case what fee hu been actually paid. We believe that in a very . large proportion of the defences entrusted to low or irregular practitioners, it would be found that the prisoner has paid a much larger sum than it would be possible to expend in legitimate fees. We have beard of a case where • prisoner bad paid 401. to his attorneys, of which four guineas only, an unusually high fee 131 criminal cases, came into the hands of the counsel who performed the only material service rendered to the cheat. Similar instances of extortion, though seldom on so large a scale, are well known to be practised at every cri minal court. It I. superfluous to point out the bad effect of such practices in producing dissatisfaction with the administration of justice, in the minds of the elan front which criminals are taken. The poor and *potent cannot distinguish a regular from a fraudu lent demand, nor a respectable lawyer from a petti fewer. They only know that it costs 101. or 121. to oblate the advantage of a defence, and they probably think that lawyers in general are engaged in a confe deracy to keep up the price of justice. The most important part of a scheme for submit ting the costs of &Ewes to taxation must be the means of informing prisoners that they have a right to this security against extortion. The governor of the gaol should be directed to inesrtain as far as per what sum the prisoner ee his friends have paid to the attorney for the defence; and the clerk of mire, or clerk of the peace, ae the case may be, should require the attorney to account for the sant so ascertained to have been received, by fife and legal charges. It would probably be necessary to give the court a summary power of ordering the attorney to refund any sum received, which had been diaalloweel by the officer. In the case of wealthy or educated defendants who chose to make a special bargain for a higher payment, it would be easy for the attorney to secure his extra costs, though disallowed by the court. Ordinary prisoners ought not to be bound by agreements to pay more than the regular legal fees. The second measure which Mr. .asox to introduce, is likely, if it is adopted, to IC7:h es e step to an improvement in criminal pretending., which we have repeatedly advocated, the abolition of grand juries. The measure itself, however, falls far short of so sweeping a change, and may be regarded either as experiment towards a suppression of the existing system, or u a permanent departure from it in a certain class of cases only. It is pro- I posed, in certain classes of committals within the district of the Central Criminal Court, to give the police magistrate power to indorse on the deposidu% or warrant of commitment, a certificate that it is ast necessary to submit the evidence to the grand jury. The magistrate's certificate would then form the basis of an information against the prisoner, and the expense, delay, and uncertainty of taking the evidence before the grand jury and of drawing the indictment, would be at once dispensed with. It would be nooces eery carefully to guard against the danger of making the information as technical as the indictmeat, by giving an unlimited power of amendment to the court, if objections were taken to the form. We do not, indeed, eve the necessity of any information. If a copy of the depositions was in every case given to the prisoner, and in cases when be was unable to read, read over to him by some officer of the gaol, before he was put into the dock, he would know all that could be known of the nature of the charge. If the case set up by the prosecution on the trial was, by some strange accident, different from that contained in the depositions, the court would, of course. give the prisoner the benefit of the variance, by directing an acquittal. In no other way does it seem possible for the prisoner to be taken by surprise, from the want of indictment or informatics. Indeed we are almost afraid of wearying our rename by repeating what we have so often explained, that the indictment seldom conveys, and was not originally I intended to convey, any notice or knowledge to the prisoner. The indictment is the verdict of the grand jury, which verdict, and no other, must be farther affirmed by the petty jury, before an accused penmen be found guilty. The whole law of indictments and of criminal pleading is wholly deduced from tie principle that two juries must concur in the same verdict, and that the verdict of the flee or grand jury must be drawn up in a legal and technical form, that the second or petty jury may know precisely what it is that it must affirm or deny. In the limited clam of cases which it is proposed to include in the provisions of Mr. PEARSON'S bill, there would be no longer an criminal pleading; and beyond the objection which may be nutted to any in terference with that peculiar and ingenious branch of scholastic logic, as a useful exercise for the minds of lawyers, we really cannot see who will have a right to complain of the loss. The guilty, indeed, may be deprived of one chance of escape ; but the innocent are protected against the risk of being exposed to trial without reasonable grounds, by the practice, which in simple felonies is almost universal, of examination before a magistrate, who is bound to return all the evidence, in writing, to the court which will try the sensed. Prosecutors will not complain of having one tribunal the less to attend with their witnesses, and of securing. a just decision without the risk of failing from a technical flaw, or a variance between the e‘idence and the indictment. Judges will be armany tiresome arguments, and enabled to give r ' whole attention to the real merits of the case. Least of all will grand jurymen be dissatisfied, at least in the metropolitan districts; for whatever may be the pleasure of country gentlemen in driving into the county towns twice a year, to be complimented by the judge in the morning, and to dine :with him at night, men of business in London have no inclination to leave their offices to attend courts where they feel that they are doing more harm than good, and where their presence does not even create a sensation. The grand juries of Middlesex, and we believe of London, have repeatedly expressed an opi nion that they were an obstruction to justice in the exercise of their &militias, which at the same lime were a serious inconvenience to themselves. A few weeks ago Mr. Justice Parrneon was obliged to in form a grand jury who bed been compelled to attend him, that there was nothing for them to do, and that could give no reason for their being summoned, ex cept that such was the law. At the last Middlesex Sessions Serjeant Ansne loudly complained of the absurdity and vexatiousness of the existing practice, and insisted on the necessity of parliamentary interfer ence to change it. All opinion,experience and resaon are on one side; on the other is merely an an cient custom. We are, however, too well aware of the tenacious vitality of old institutions to expect an entire or im mediate abolition of grand juries. It is much better to try the experiment on a small scale, as in the pro posed bill for the Central Criminal district For the satisfaction of those who object to any departure from precedents, even in change, we may suggest . that, in some criminal cases, the law has always dispensed with the finding of the grand jury. A coroner's in quisition supersedes the necessity of an indictment ; and an information ex officio by the Arrottrixe-Ge- NEItAL, though now a rare proceeding, is a legal mode of bringing certain offences at once before the petty jury. It is true that in the great majority of cases the grand ry still interposes between justice and its objects. Within these few days, an instructive instance of its practical working has occurred. The grand jury having thrown out a bill, the officer of the court mis took the endorsement. and announced that a true bill was found. The prisoner pleaded guilty, received j udgment, and had already begun to undergo the sentence, when one of the grand jurymen casually mentioned to some per eonesonneeted with the court that the bill had been ignored. The guilty convict was of course at once released, and will no doubt through life entertain a much more favourable opinion of rand juries than any which we find it consistent with our duty to express. MR. DAVID littconnw warraterday elected Alder man for the Ward of Cordwainers. The vacancy which this election supplies, is the first that has oc curred is the Court of Aldermen since the election of the Baron LIONEL Itornscwitri for the City of Lon don. Another Jew has now been selected by a body of citizens to fill an important official position ; and occurring, as the second election does, on the very eve of the intended introduction of the Premier's bill for the admission of Jews to seats in parliament, we are entitled to consider the selection of Mr. SALOMONB not a little significant. It is both remarkable and gratifying to find so general a concurrence as was expressed at the ward mote yesterday in the propriety of merging all matters of mere creed in the more general considerations of a man's integrity and capability for the office to which he aspires. th...... 21 ... r a• by, say the electors of London, when we a etea as unfit to verve us, because we diffe r him on points of religion.

Mr. SALO MONS will reflect credit on the Court of Aldermen. He is a merchant of good standing ; the head of one of the great joint tack banking establishments of our city ; a man of moat liberal and enlightened news; no bigot (witness hie foundation of a scholarship in a church of England school) ; a man well known for his active benevolence, and not less distinguished for his business habits. He has served the office of sheriff twice, once in London and Mid dlesex, and once in another county ; he is at the present time in the commission of the peace for Sussex and fee Surrey, and his popularity in those counties gives an* assurance that he will be a useful magistrate in the metropolis. His own feeling as to his position was very admirably expressed yesterday, and as we cannot improve his own words, we give them as he uttered them : " On matters of religion," said he, " I feel it accountable to my God ; on matters me- I am accountable to you who offer me your 1111011.00. I act upon the principle that there can be se religious liberty without civil freedom, and that the converse equally holds true that there can he no civil freedom without !litigious liberty." We have only to add that we wish Mr. SALOMONS' I sisetion had been the act of a larger body of the wienielpal electorate. It will be seen that at the Wtothe view expressed in the Daily News of I was made the subject of comment.

The Diet held a session on that day, on the subjectoof the note of the King of Prussia, when M. Funer proposed an answer to it which rejects the claim of the King of Prussia to interfere relating to the performance of a federal duty by Neufchatel. The answer was adopted. Federal commissioners to the Valais were nominated, and the following resolutions proposed by the com mittee of seven were agreed to-1 That the cantons of the flonderbund shall be charged with the ex penses of the war. 2. That they shall be jointly liable to them. 3. That a million of francs Swims be paid before Dec. 20. 4. That the balance shall also be paid in cash, or in approved security, at such time as the Diet shall fix. 6. Military occupation of the cantons shall be maintained until the whole be paid. 6. The cantons of the Sonderbund shall pay an In demnity for the damage committed by their troops.

From the 26th Nov. to the 3rd Dec., the expanse of the men have amounted to 3,163,0001 r., Swim (188,0001.), and to the end of the occupation will amount to 6,011,000 fr. (294,7601.)

The freedom of the press has produced its first fruits in this public denunciation of a Figanticjob, and & consequent action for libel. The jobs Duke Tor lonia's contract for salt and tobacco, in which a public officer has detected and proclaimed the abstraction of several millioa dollars from the public purse, has accused the aforesaid duke and tobacco broker of "rapine," " peculation," " financial massacre," "mon strous perjury," " a chain of prevarication," and the action for libel is founded on the above letter in the atemporaneo against Pio Mole, the publisher, and 'Merit) Paradiei, the writer of the same. Now you most know that this Tiberio is a man in the full confi dence of the Pope, and has recently been named to an office of delicate responsibility in the statistical department, by which he has been able to trace and publicly expose the delinquencies of officials during the late reign, and the probable result of the action for libel will be the utter discomfiture of the banker and • general rat-hunt of the bribed and bribers. The newspapers here are all full of the controversy, and startling revelations are expected from day to day. Had there been no public press the matter would have been kept snug, as everything else hitherto. A French steamer has brought, this week, the first instalment of the 15,000 muskets, purchased for our nationals. I was amused to find several of those now in nee at the various guard-houses bearing the "Tower mark," and the letters O.R. They came from Naples, and were probably a deposit of Nelson in that quarter for the troops of Cardinal Ruff°. The Bulldog steamer came in yesterday to Civita Vecchia, with despatches for our =Weeder, Lord Minto. The last piece of clever rascalitf by Count Rossi is en attempt to create a broil between England and Rome apropos of the national guard. Several English artists, fond of a quiet life, were known to be repug nant to take their turn, and the parson here has issued his opinion that religions scruples should deter them from " presenting arms" to cardinals, who are supposed to be the court of Antichrist. Others repre sented that "their lives were insured, and they might forfeit their insurance." Rossi, anxious to fan the Same, brought the matter to an open scandal this morning. In concert with Borghese and Prince Msaaimo, whom he has made tools of (the second wife and the mother of Borghese are French), he caused Prince Aldobrandioi, colonel of the Campo Marco district, to arrest Mr. Nugent Dunbar, a Roman ca tholic, who, having married a Roman wife, they thought a proper object on whom to enforce the law, and he sow lies in the guard-house opposite the Borghese windows. The question, you will perceive, is of the utmost importance, and skilfully calculated by the conspira tors to effect a misunderstanding between England and Rome. The genius of old Louis Philippe is con spicuous in this transaction, and Rossi has shown his talents for mischievous intrigue in their full develop ment. Yon shall hear more of this. THE Tama, which was expected at Southampton to-morrow with the India mails, Las not, it is mid, a clean bill of health, and will be obliged to remain during two or three days at the Motherbank to perform quarantine. AMERICAN MAIL PACEETB.—SiE,—I perceive from the advertisement put forth by the North American Mail Steam-ship Company, that their remelt are to sail from Liverpool, New York, and Boston on the same day. The average passage of these vessels is fourteen days. Thum the Cambria will leave Liverpool on Saturday, January 1, and will reach New York nearly at the same time that the home ward.bound vessel is starting from Boston, thereby delaying for nearly a fortnight any replies to the letters taken out by the Cambria. The same rule applies to England. If the days of sailing from Liverpool were to take place on Wed nesdays instead of Saturdays, it would enable persons in both countries to answer their fetters nearly ten days in the winter and four days in the summer earlier than by the present arrangement.

Before the question was pet, Mr. AINOIBIL, an inhabitant, rose to call attention to an article which had appeared in a *thin journal (the Doily News) relative to the constituency of this ward. The matter was of some consequence, and he believed there had been a mistake. He be li eved the conetiamsey remisted of 820, nearly double the number mentieesd. An INHABITANT, whose name we could not learn, said Mr. kluger laboured under a =Make. He happead to knew that, though there were 820 householders or more, there were only 126 Individuals entitled to minim the franchise. The existing arrangements, as had been Jody said, were matters of greet alum. He himself bad opened a tavern in the ward, and within a fortnight after he had opened It be was ogled upon to take up his civfe freedom, ffithough within a door or two of him were rich merchants doing thousands of pounds worth of badness a day, who were saver required to do anything of the sort. He felt the pre ssed system to be a wrong end a persecution upon the small dealer. Mr. CLazit, an inhabitant, said that with regard to the uomination before theta he must oppose Mr. Salomon' en religious grounds. He was a Christian, and ha did not think his interests ought to be committed to a Jew. The Loan MAYOa called for the show of hands, which was I taken and exhibited-49 for Mr. David Saloanons and 3 against him. His lordship therimpoe declared Mr. Salomon to be duly elected. Alderman SALOMONB then cams forward to return thanks. After expressing his deep sense of the high honour con ferred upon him, he said that on the one point that hod been urged against him he wished to be unreserved end explicit. It was his hope and belief that his conduct SI a magic- Mate of this greet city would carry conviction to the minds I of all that the duties of a public offioer might be discharged faithfully and ably without regard to religious difference& On matters of religion he, for his part, felt that be was an constable to his o.xl ; on matters of duty he was account able to them who honoured him with their confidence. It was his boast to act on this principle, that there was no reli gious liberty without civil freedom ; and that the converse held good, that there was no civil freedom without religious liberty. With respect to what had been said about the con stituency, he believed It to be true that there were but 125 qualified voters in the ward; but of these he had promisee from liO, and if there had been 210 qualified voters, be felt assured that he should have had the support of the 200. (Hear, hear.) He concluded by returning them his most heartfelt thanks. Mr. CAIILI6LE, en old and respectable inhabitant, pro posed a vote of thanks to their late alderman, Mr. Thomas Wood, for the great anxiety he had always displayed to pro mote the interests of the ward. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously, one gentleman expressing gnat regret that the Court of Aldermen had done Mr. Wood the great wrong of refusing to elect him to the civic chair. Alderman thLOMONS then proposed, and Mr. Deputy MUDDELL seconded , "lOU of thanks to the Lord Mayor; and a vote of thanks having also been pained amid acclama tion. to Mr. J.

FREE BATHS MID WASH-HOUSES.—CHEAP CHARITY. —lt may be useful to those who, in various crowded towns, are desirous of becoming the promoters of cleanliness, and con eequeotiv of health, among the poor, to be informed of the extremely cheap rate at which their benevolent wishes may be carried into effort We have before as the second annual report of the free baths and wash-house establishment, Glasshouse-yard, Bast Smithfield, from which it appears that during the year there were 34,843 bathers, 38,44,5 washers and dryers of 2,51,446 articles of clothing, and 11,296 ironer' making a total of 84,694 per sons who shared the edvantaaes of the establishment, without one farthing cost to themselves. In addition to the bathing and washing many hundreds of the poor in the neighbourhood, asai•ted by the gift of whiners& and the loan of pails and brushes, were induced by the association to purify the wretched and unwholesome dwellings during the summer and winter, • most important measure at all times, and especially so last year, considering that the autumn was followed by • long and revere winter, and a spring during which the overcrowding, disease and sufferiog to which the destitute poor are ordi narily exposed, were greatly aggravated by the des. titnuon then so generally prevailing. It will surprise, end we trust encourage, many of our readers to " go and do Ilkairiee," when they learn the very small coot at which • extensive benefits were performed. The working en- Erter the establishment for the year was no more than in 6d., while the out-door expenditure for whitewash ing sad purifying the wretched homes of the neighbour ing peer was only 161.5 x. Allowing one-farthing a head as the expense of 11,296 ironer' (111.16 x. 4.1.), the total expellees of the 73,288 bathers and washes were 3051. 71. Id , or Id. a-head. At this cost of Id. each, 34,843 warm bashs were given, every bather having an ample miry ef clean warm water, a clean towel, and • small piece o soap; and 38,446 persons bad a sufficiency of hot and cold water, and of soda and soap, to wash more than • quarter of a million ef articles, the greater partof which, when waabed, were dried and venti lated in a chamber by means of a purifying current of heated sir. The increase of bathers, washers, and none's, over these ef the former year was 14,940, showing that the poor sue not slow in availing themselves of such advantari when placed within their reach. It is to be hoped that Ude well-managed establishment will prove an example which will be followed in many places where there are poor and crowded neighbourhoods. It is in the power of a few earnest and benevolent persons among the mere affluent in every town to set such • boon on foot. With these facts before them, the citizen' of Edinburgh, for example, need not wait fur " leginative powers" to commence benefiting their fellow-crsatieres in a similar manner to the subieribers to the free baths in Best Smithfield. INQUESTS, YESTEMDAY.—TRE MURDER AND ROB near OP ML BszamsAYDß2B. Before Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, resumed at the °roman Arms, Kensington-place, Regent-street, respecting the death of Mr. John Bellehambers, who was murdered and robbed on the 11th of last October.—G.

THE RECENT STORM. On Sunday morning between 3 and 4 o'clock, the metropolis and suburbs were visited with a violent storm of wind, hail, and rain, that continued with unabated fury for full 30 minutes. The wind blew with terrific violence, the rain descending in a cataract, accompanied with hailstones of an:extraordinuy site. The waters of the Thames presented more the appearance of an arm of the sea than an island river ,• a number of boats and barges got adri ft and sustained considerable damage from collisions. The shipping in the pool also sustained injury from the loss of spars ; some hav ing broken from their moorings and got ashore. In the nur sery gardens in the suburbs considerable damage has been I sustained in glass being broken by the hailstones. At sea the disasters were most severe. We leans from Southampton that tire Erin, which left on the 3rd with the Indian mail, has been obliged to put into Dartmouth. The South Water's, with the Channel Islands mails, due last night, has not yet arrived. The Lady de fiansurez, which left on Saturday night with the American mails for Havre, was obliged, to return. The Courier, which left here on Saturday night with the Channel Islands mails, has put into Portland Reads. News has reached Southampton that the French Trans-at,an tic steamer, Union, which le ft Havre on the 24th ult., had beau obliged to put into Cherbourg, with 6 feet of water in I her hold. A Dover correspondent states that at daybreak oar Sunday morning a vessel was descried ashore on the Goodwin Sands. &mend loggers managed to pot off, but the sweet wax partly buried in the sands, with her foremast standing, and to get at her was impoesible. A formidable see was beating over her and tearing the used to pieces. The buts endeavoured to obtain her name sad port, but failed, the fragments of the wreck affording ribt the slightest elite. Before the buts quitted her destruction wan complete. Her crew it is feared all perished, for nothing has since been heard of them, and the circumstance of the ship's boats being amongst the wreck confirms that belief. By appearances the Ili-fated vessel was a foreigner.—Another fatal wreck took place in the course of Saturday night in Pevensey , B.y, near Hastings. The unfortunate ship was the Addolarata, of and from Naples, which had sailed from the river Thames on the Thursday previous with a miscellaneous cargo. In the height of the gale she became unmanagable, and drove ashore nearly opposite No. 68 Tower, in the bay. Nine of the crew perished, and three men and a boy came ashore on a raft and were saved. The vessel and cargo are com pletely lost, and the former has gore to piecee.— fo the northward of the Nore several losses are reported. About seven o'clock on Sunday morning the master of the Diligence, belonging to Brightensea, near Wivenhoe, de scribed two vessels to have laundered in the Swin, about half a mile of each other, on the south side of the Gun. fleet, midway between the beacon and the S.W. buoy. One, to all appearance, was a brig, and the other a three-masted vessel. Farther northward on the Gunfieet were wrecked two other vessels, namely, the Albion, from Sunderland, Mr. Bell, muter, and the Bridgehoim. Both crews were saved. The above is but a very brief statement of the casual ties that have been communicated to us. Unfortunately the weather has not moderated ; a heavy gale is still blowing from the SSW. IRELAND. Duetix, Dac. 5. The Westmeath paper, which reached this morn ing, announces another murder in Rceoommon on Friday last The name of the victim is not commu nicated, bat it is stated that the event took place near i Castlerea at noon-day, and within a few yards of the gentleman's own house. As murder is now abroad on the wind, perhaps the last may be a rumour with out foundation. To-morrow, however, will confirm or refute it. In the Globe of Friday evening appears a corre spondence from "Outs," headed, "Two more Mur ders." The pretended victims are " Mr. Arthur Wellesley Young," whose assassination is fortified by what the lawyers call his " addition," as agent to Lord Mountsandford and Mr. Wills." The other victim is " a rich farmer, named Tristan," and the scene of his dispatch Mayo. If these murders be real we, at least, have heard nothing certain of them in Ireland . ; though, as to Tristan, there is an uncon fi rmed rumour. The aristocratic prefixes of Mr. Young could not fail to attract public attention. Both are simple fictions, and the Globe was imposed upon. The peasantry of Roscommon have crimes to expiate, but it is ungenerous to add to the catalogue by sheer inventions. The immolation of Major Mahon and the Rev. Mr. Lloyd, is quite sufficient to bring the county under the ban of the new law, a result which the Globe correspondent seems anxious to facilitate. As one proof of the depression of the times the Limerick paper states that attestation of the service of 16 writs on various gentlemen had bean made before a single master extraordinary of that city daring four days. The same paper records a more pleasing symptom of the times however, in the fact that the Marquis of Waterford keeps constantly em ployed eight hundred men. If every Irish noblemen and proprietor did proportionately as much we should have little difficulty for parliament to deal with. STATX OF THE COVNTRY.—TiIe siTelta of noted charac ters goes on efficiently. In the Limerick Chronicle of yes terday we find recorded the comrotttal of " a captain of a gang," Matthew Sheedy, who had fled to London some time since and on his return was seised by the police. In another quarter three " notorious characters" have been made ame nable ; and in a third ease, two who, having been coneemead in an abduction in Limerick, were seized in Cork by the police just as they descended from the coach. Ontrew have not ceased, and the plunder of property is much on this increase. An attack was made at Birdhill, awe Nensgb, upon a labourer, who came from a &s -tares to succeed another, who had been discharged; his arm was broken. In another, shots were fired at a man on the highway who bad been stopped by footpads. Fortu nately he bad no money. A poor carman was stopped on Friday evening on the highway, within three miles of Lime rick, and robbed of five pounds, and on the same day, seven tarts conveying flour from Cahn, Tipperary, to Limerick, were stopped at Boher, in the latter county, and the whole of the flour carried off. Amongst the suderen by the plunder of sheep the last week has been the Roman catholic Dean of Cease]. MILOZANDA or Caists.—The Limerick Chronicle pub lishes the following :—"The following was found in the pocket of Michael Skeehan, whose serest we announced, by Sub-Inspector Heard, and Constable* Keane and Lee, at Roxborotigh, altar a sharp ran, and who has been fully Identified and committed for attacking the house of Win.

The people here feel wrath at the taunt of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in stating that a proof of the instability of the Sco tch banks was afforded by some of those institutions requiring assistance. Surely, if a man's hands and feet are tied, there is no pusillanimity displayed if he uks the party who im posed the bonds to loosen them ? If a Scotch bank have some thousands of its own gold lying in its own coffers, is it not a perversion of language to say that, l atter being prohibited from using its own property, the relief vouchsafed by the which padl ocks those coffers should bedignified with the name of " esslatanoe ?

In Glasgow the extensive mortality among poor law officials has led to the idea of their lives being in-, eared at the public expense ; and as gratuities are slowst always given to their widows and families the I plan has economy in its favour. But what an , amount of sanitary declension does such a the indicate. A preliminary movement of the w 1 Health Asocial= has been announced by the . Mr. D'Orsay to the parochial board. In addition to the canal °Moe-bearers in such institutions it is pro posed to have sanitary wardens and sanitary mUsion- 1 tries, whose duty it will be to inculcate the virtue and enforce the practice of cleanliness. No assess ment is contemplated, the whole of the funds being expected to arise from voluntary contribution. iA second game-law ease of Capt. Nemyas, late M.P., is reported, and the decision recorded is , that the tenant is entitled to damages on account of the game being " excessive." The decision in the first ea" referred to yesterday, was to the effect that a tenant was not entitled to frighten game by blank shuts and muzzled dogs, but at its announcement one I of the judges remarked, that the circumstance of the tenant being prohibited from scaring strengthened his claim against the landlord for damages. Latterly Capt. Wally's has been acquiring wisdom on the game qaestion, as it is now understood that he allows tenants to shoot on their own farms. The Earl of Eglinton has also been making a good use of his sur plus game, having distributed several deers amongst the poor in Kilwinning. PROVINCIAL. unnassnoeri.....
