MUNIFICENT BEQUEST 10 THE CITY OF LONDON CHARITIES. A Munificent bequest has just been distributed amongst City charities by the trustees of the will of Miss Madinat, late of Chesterfield, in Derbyshire. This latle '5 father was in early life a surgeon in the mercantile nave, and fur some years before his decease carried on business in bishopegate-stratt as a wholesale chemist. Miss Hardwick, his only daughter at his death, withdrew herself entirely from the world and lived ea eccentric life in a small cottage, where her property was permitted ti accumulate, as sue did not expend upon her establishment a hundred a year. She died about a year ago, in the mayoralty of Alderman Muster, leaving the bulk of her property to the Lord Mayor of London, and the chamberlain for the time Lin; to act a ith her executor, Joseph Shiptoo, Eaq , an eminent solicitor at Chesterfield, as trustees, to be distributed amongst such of the charities of the City of Louden as they might in their discretion select for the purpose It was thought that it world be necessary to iuvoku the aid of the Court of Chancery by L friendly suit to have trusts of the will recognised and expounded, but two of the trustees being solicitors they were not unacquainted with the consumption of time and money that too oft.n has attended the procrers of that mysterious proceeding " a friendly suit," in its way through the siouosities of mat celebrated court. The ext. cater therefore, ooened a communication with the next of kin of the deceased, furniahing them with the names of the respectable medical man who had attended the lady for some yeses before her death, to satisfy them of het mental capacity at the period the will was made, and up to the time of her decease. The Tel ohms were as unwilling as the trustees that any portion of her intended munificence should be diverted from the channel in which she had de. sired that it should Haw ' • it was therefore determined to administer the fund in conformity with the construction to be pot upon the will by Mr. Bedell and Mr Iliggeley, the counsel retained by the City Solicitor to advise fur the Wenn of all parties as to the limits which would properly hound the discretion of the trustees in the selection of the charities, leaving it to them to determine the proportions M which it should be distributed. The executor einem:di. stele placed at the disposal of the trustees Cie sum of 15,0001., the apparent amount of the residue, after the satis faction of trifling debts and legacies left by the ter taton, and the following is a list of the cha rities elected as recipients, with the amounts awarded to each. In consequence of advertisements several times repeated in the daily and other papers nume roue applications were received from severUl meet meritorious charities, with which the trusters would have been glad to comply. It was, however, the opinion of counsel that it was the intention of the testator to restrict her benefactions to chanties within the City. The trustees bad been occupied several days in making the requisite in vestigations previously to the execution of their award, when, fortunately fur the charities, a letter addressed to the deceased lady was received by the executor, to the effect thet if she would send a guinea to the writer of the letter, she "should bear of something to her advantage." Upon application to the writer of the letter, whose conditions of beneficial intelligence were immediately complied with, he gave information which led to the discovery that there was a sum of 2,250!. Four per Cent. Stock in Miss Hardwick's name, with 21 years dividends, transferred to the Comma-' sinners for the Redemption of the National Debt. The au thorities of the Beek of Eugland gave every facility in their power for the reeivery of the amount, which (about 4,0001.) as coon a. the nasal facilities can be complied with, will be venire toed to the trustee,. The execution of the award, in conseqeeace of the receipt of this piece of good news, was delayed, and under the advice of counsel, the sum in hand has been distributed amongst the various charities, and the forst of the award Las been obtained so as to include the appropriation of the 4,0001. as soon as it shall be received ainoug4 the various charities in the same proportions as the sums they have already received. It is one of the peculia rities of the case, that if either of the three trustees had died bidets the ezecution of the award, or if they had dis agreed in the mode of distributing the money, the whole amount would, in the opinion of the lawyers, have lapsed in the next of kin, as the power to select the charities and to apportion the inotiey having been vested in the discretion of the three trustees, it was necessary that it should be the discretion of the three conjointly, and the want of unani mity could not be supplied by any other authority : EDUCVTIONAL CUMMINS. - Marine Society, 5501. ; Christ's Hospital, 1,100!. ; City Sunday School, 1101. ; Royal British School (boys), 1101.; London British School, 1101. ; Christ's Church School, 1101. ; Trinity Church In fant School (Gessagtrequart) 1101. ; Field lane Ragged School, 2201. • Juan-street \Vahan Sunday School, 1101. • National ` Sch ool (City of London) 5501. ; City of London School, 2201. ; Feorse- li ne Infant School, 1101. ; Aageloilley Sunday sad Infant School, 1101. ; Loudon Pro testant Charity School, 110/. ; Sunday and Day Schools, Ponitsey Chapel, 2201. ; Sr. Ann's Society Itoyal Asylum, 1101. ; Cripplegats Infant & ; hod, 1101.

CANADA COMPANY. A general court of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday at their offices, St. llelen'splace, Bi ebopegate-etreet, Charles Flanks, Esq., the governor, pre siding. The following gentlemen, who retired by rotation, were re-elected to their respective offices—Mr. Flanks, governor Sir J. Easthope, and MessfS. Fresbfield, M.P., and Wilson, directors; and Mr. Gillespie, auditor. The directors' report, which was then read by the chair man, stated that during the year 1852 there had beers 24,681 acres of the company's lands sold, vie., 10,502 acres of the crown reserves at an avenge price of 13s. 9d., and 14,184 acres of the Ural tracts at an ge of 14s. 7d. per acre, producing together 17,5911. currency, and in cluding certain town and park allotments, 19,1441. currency ; 10,194 acres of the crown reserves, and 46,447 acres of the Ural tracts had been disposed of by lease during the year, the former at a gross rental of 6001., and the latter of 2,0681. One hundred and eighty-four town and park lots had also bt en leay.id ate rental of 321., making the total rental added to the company's income 2,9091. The total receipts on account of the property in Canada during the year had been 56,7501, and the test of management in Linden, including the income tax, 3,15071., and in Canada, including the assessment-tax, 9,8091. ; toge ther 13,6161. The directors 000rratuleted the proprietors upon the increased value their lands Lad attained, and advert,d to the benefits that had been conferred on settlers by the operations of the company. Subsequently the chairman read a comparative statement of the sales, lessee, and receipts from the Ist of January to the 11th of March in this and the last year, showing that while the laud sales during that period of 1852 were 4,769 sores, they bad risen this jeer to 16,627 acres, and including lea's. the total laud disposed of to the 11th March this year was 20,693 acres, against 14,593 acres to the same date of last year; that the receipts to that date in 18.52 were 14,9161. 16e. 1,1., and in 1853 to 27,8101. Its. 2d.; sad that the leased lands redeemed and converted into freeholds to that date in 1852 were 4,065 acres, the sum received for which was 2,7201. lls. Bil., and in 1113, 1,611 acres, the amount received thereon being 12,0531. ss. Mr. Wm stern complained that sufileint mean were not taken by the director, to make public the operations of the company as explained in the directors' reports. They were sellers of land, and their object was to let the public here and in Canada know that they had land to sell. The accounts he thought were very satisfactory. Their *me* it al peered, hid increased, and their expenditure had 111 , miuished. ((fear, hear.) lie was glad to perceive that the debentures bad been reduced from 111,000 W, 109,700. A PROPRIETOR did not agree with the last Speaker as to the advisability of forcing further 41101 of land. Out of 2,000,000 acres they bad now only 600,000 left, and he thought the better policy would be nut to sell, hut to ex tend the system cf leasing. After a brief discussion the report was adopted, and, On the moan of Mr. Otnnvirte, a resolution was passed empowering the directors so take tech means of giving pub licit to the document as they might think fie The CUAIRMAN next proposed that a retiring allowance of 1)1. • year should be made to Mr. T. Mercer Jones, the company's 11,1121iiii411f r in Canada, from the time when his seamy taf 7001. a year) should cease. Mr. Jones bad tine 24 years la doe company's service, and wee now about to retire, at the human of the board, who, while &Alum lodging the great services he had rendered them, thought it adirunble to make whir arrangements.

X THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 31, 1853. PIM REPORT FROM THE ECCLESIAS- TICAL COMMISSIONERS. TO Tilt ZIGIIT HON. HU* MAJRATT'S PRINCIPAL SECRE TARY of STAIR FOR Tilt HUNS DEPARTIIINT, &C. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England submit, in accordance with the 26:h section of the act 13 and 14 Viet., c. 94, a report of their proceedings for the year preceding the Ist November, 1852. Ihr 'chime pawed in conformity with the provisions of the act 13 and 14 Vict., c. 94, for regulating the incomes of archbishops and bishops, to which reference was wade in the last report, did not affect the then holders of any sets but thooe of Canterbury, Chester, Norwich, and Llandalf, who had been appointed subsequently to the lot of January, 181 h; but the commissioners suited that they had received proposals from several other bishops to bring themselves witnin the last-mentioned provisions, and they have now to report that, during the year preceding the lit November last, they hays entered into agreements with the Bishops of Ssli.hury, St. Asaph, Ripon, Ely, and Worcester, whereby Mud instead of fluctuating ennui' incomes have been se cured to them. The several agreements are embodied in the nesemes, which will be found in the Appendix, pp. 16, 19, 13, 40, and 78. Fixed instead of fluctuating annual incomes have, in ac cordance with the acts 3 and 4 Vice, c. 113, and 4 and 5 Vic'., c. 39, been provided for the future deans and canons of the esthedral church of Durham, the present canon of the fifth canonry, end the future deans and canons of the I cathedral church of Lichfield, end the present dean and one of the present canons of the cathedral cnurchol Manchester. The schemes for these purposes appear in the Appendix, pp. t 2, 77, and 81. An arrangement under powers contained in the acts 3 and 4 Viet., c. 113, 4 and 5 Vice, c. 39, and 5 and 6 Vict., e. 26, has been entered into with the dean and chapter of York, whereby the capitular estates (subject to subsisting Vases) are vested in the commissioners, and in lieu thereof the dean and chapter are to receive an annuity calculated on their past average receipt., until the commissioner shall rewire to them real estates in posoession producing an in , come equal to such annuity. it is estimated that this sr ' ran,:ement will, by means of enfranchisement', hereafter yield a considerable surplus for the augmentation of omen living., but no portion of the proceeds is to be carried to the "common fund" until the intended restoration of estates to the chapter shall have belts completed. The scheme fur authorising the arrangement is in the Appendix, p. The commissionere have applied themselves to the con sideration of the proposals made to them by the lessees of their estates, and have, during the year preceding the Ist November last, effected sales of reversions and purchases of leasehold interests on terms generally is accordance with the recommendation of the Committee of the !louse of Lards upon church leaseholds. During that period the hoard have agreed for the sale of ninety-nine reversions, and for the purchase of twenty-seven ►easehold interests; in several cases portions of the premises having been dealt with by way of exchange. 'l'he total value in fee of the properties so enfranchised exceeds the sum of 550,0001., and the commissioners are able to state that the instances arc very rue in which any material objections have been taken to the prices required or offs red by them in the first instance, although among the parties dealt with are many of those lessees who bad expressed dissatisfaction with the terms formerly required by the commissioners. Toe total amount of the annual charge upon the com missioners' funds, in respect of the 525 ►ugmented benefices and the endowments of the 235 districts and new parishes before referred to, up to the 31st October last, amounted to , the sum of 77,9871., representing, at the rate of three per cent., a capital sum of 2,598,9001. It should not be: forgotten that the endowment of the districts and new parishes has been provided by means of an anticipation of the future income of the cominiuioners, and that the consequent increase in their annual payments and ultimate liability has necessarily for a time precluded them from entertaining the numerous applications (ex ceeding 1,500) which have been made to them for grants. THE "TIMES" AND THE TO TOT MIMI OP TNT TIMMS, Mrs. ex-President Tiler the editor of the Timm I Does the extraordinary effemon which appeared yes terday in the columns of that journal proceed from that re markably " strong-minded woman ?" Hu the Times smug gled over the lady slave-owner to fight out its quarrel with Harriett Beecher Stowe, who is coming over here to receive the homage of unive rsal Eogland—wsinus the Times, Then is very great reason to suppose that this is the ease. It is more likely that an American lady, advocating the propriety of " licking her own nigger, " would sneer at the Duchess of Sutherland and her as sociates in their well-meant, though perhaps in discreet labour, than that an English gentleman should adopt gush a course. Again, there is not one Englishman in ten, who does not know that the description of the suf. Beings of the dressmakers in England in the Times of lee. terday is a grows exaggeration ; bet Mrs. Tyler might very reasonably plead ignorsneo of the fact. Finally, the Times, which piques nun upon its originality, would never conde scend to such flagrant plagiarism as the appropriation of a whole line of argument. If, then, Mrs. Tyler did not write the article yesterday upon the so-called " White Slaves" of England she ought to have written it, and we out absolve the writer from the sin of plagiarism, only by assuming that she justified the twisting her own letter into an article, upon the same principle that she justifies thinning her black slaves—the right of " doing what she likes with her own." What is it, then, that Mrs. Tyler, of the Timm, in her' first:editorial production, would have us believe? In her eagerness to "have a fling" at the Duchess of Sutherland and her friends, to enjoy the delight of shrieking out " you're another," when reproached with the crime of sieve-keeping, she assert', without condescending to bring forward any proofs of her assertion, that the dress. makers of England, who employ workwomon, axe no better than the OTeffeer, in the sugar plan tations, and Implies that the ladies who patronise these women are not a whit better than the owners of slaves. The ladies of England, too, are charged with all the evils of a system under which a vast number of female " White Slaves " are infinitely worse off than their black sisters in the States. Mrs. Tyler, of the Times, desires us to believe that crowds of white English women work in gangs in ill ventilated rooms, or rooms not ventilated at all, for fear the " blacks " should intrude to damage the material upon which they are employed. Thus young slaves, she tells us, are awakened to their litmus in the grey of the morning at six o'clock, having a quarter of an hour allowed them for their breakfast. Their food is scanty and miserable. From 6to 11 they stitch—stitch— stitch. At 11 they have a small piece of brew', served out to each. At 1 o'clock, 20 minutes are allowed for dinner—a slice of meat and a potato, with a glass of water to each workwoman. Then again to work—etiteh—stitch—stitch —until 6 o'clock, when 16 minutes are allowed to tea. The needles are then set in motion once more—stitch—stitch— until 9 o'clock, when 15 minutes are allowed for supper—a piece of dry bread and cheese, and a glue of beer. From 9 o'clock at night, until one, two, and three in the morning, stitch, stitch—the only break in this long petiod being a minute or twe—just time enough to swallow a cup of strong tea, which is supplied lest the young people should " feel sleepy." At 3 o'clock, a.m., to bed ; at 6 o'clock, a.m., out of it again, to resume the duties of the day. We pause to ask Mrs. Tyler, what does an American lady mean when she tali* of "►esuminsg the duties of the fol lowing day," and continue that lady's narrative. Even during the few hours allotted to sleep, their miseries conti nue. They are cooped up in sleeping-rooms, ten in a room which would, perhaps, be sufficient for the accommo dation of two. _ _ . Having given this statement in Mrs. Tyler's own words, correcting the Americanism alluded to, let us ask, Arc there half.se dozen English people endowed with common sense who can place confidence in what she says ? For several months in the year a class of English females are kept at work for twenty-one hours out of the twenty-four, except during the few minutes that are allowed them for their scanty meals! Did it never strike our American friend that the thing is absolutely impossible? Did it never occur to her that tho human frame could not endure this infliction of coastant labour, want of rest, and balf•sufoca• tion ? Could she, a woman of sense, ever have listened to such a tisane of exaggerations. unless her judgment had been clouded by a burning desire to fling dirt at the ladies of England ? That multitudes of English women are worked beyond their strength we are ready to allow, but that the statement untamed by the Times is pure fiction there can be 1110 doubt. At the same time it is little better than wilful falsehood to attribute the evils that are actually endured by this clue to the persons who employ them, and it is a malicious libel to bring in the ladies of England as accessories Wore the fact. If the workwomen of England work for unreasonably long periods for a small pittance it is because their numbers are such as to make them the victims of a ruinous competition. Dressmakers in Australia arc not ill-fed, or overworked, or stifled. In that country they tyrannise over their employers instead of their employers tyrannising over them ; yet no one has ever thought of imputing this to them as a crime. They take advantage of the fact of the demand for labour being (treater than the supply. In England the supply of labour is greater than the demand. A dressmaker whose capital would allow of her employing ten assistants at decent wages finds that ell bas twenty applicants. It may surely be open to discussion whether she is entirely to blame for sharing her capitol amongst the twenty instead of letting ten starve. She finds the poor as claimants before her ; she did not make them. The proposal of Mrs. Tyler or the Tbaes to organise a movement to compel milliners to pay higher wages would, it adopted, simply hays the cffeet of throwing a number of milliners out of employ, perhaps to endure starvation—or worse. There is nothing more cheering in the present day than the prospect of the gradual emancipation of the working claws from the sod state into whirl) rompetitim had plunged them. The wonderful opening of uow outlets for labour is gradually relieving the Engli,h labourer from many of his old miseries. Wages are rising, work is plen tiful. Female labourers will doubtless fi el the tfects of the change, although not so rapidly as their male friends. They alko will begin to feel their value, to rise in the Foetal scale, to find leisure to indulge in high and holy inspiration., instead of brooding continually on the perils that await them i n their struggle to live. We shrill consider the Food time arrived when women are enabled to demand from their employers good wages, and not when the latter arc comp( lied to make a present to the former of home thing rn,re than the true market rate. Tnis good time Le approaching. In the meanwhile let the Toners h e as sured that it will not be hastened by sweeping censures of a large class of trodeswomen, nor ignorant sneers at the pee -1 atedings, howercr injudicious, of noble-hearted Engligh. WORM AN ABOLITIONIST. A FEMALE WORD ON THE LAW OF DIVORCE. TO THI lIDITOR OP TIII EIPFITSB. Stet, — Is it too much to hope that in your influen tial journal—the unflinching advocate of popular rights— the vote, of a woman may be allowed to protest against several unjust and iniquitous clauses contained in the '• Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the Law of Divorce ?" The clauses to which I would draw attention ere the fol lowing, via.—" That divorces a vinculo shall be allowed for adultery, and for adultery only"—" That divorces a vinculo shall only be granted on the suit of the husband, and not (as a general rule) on the suit of the wife"—" That the wife, however, may also apply for divorce a stinted(' in cases of aggravated enormity ; such as incest or bigamy." Now, sir, I wish to inquire why, if a man is to be allowed to rid himself by an inexpensive process, of an unfaithful wife, a woman IS not in like manner to be freed from an unfaithful husband ? The answer no doubt will be, that infidelity on the part of a wife is more detrimental to the good order and well-being of society than the same aims on the put of a husband, inasmuch as illegitimate children might be introduced by au unfaithful wife into a family, and brought up by a deceived husband as his own. This is the only argument that has ever been seriously ad vanced to sanction the difference made in the treatment of un faithful wives and hust•ands. But not to dwell on the very rare instances in which such a deception could be sueeeufully maintained, I will merely remark that the Christian law, which we all profess to follow, recognises no such distine tions, and that the commandments of God are held to be equally binding on the one sex as on the other. Our legislators may talk of unchristianising the country by the admission of a few Jews to parliament, but could a whole parliament of " Jews, Turks, or Infidels," do more to uncbristianise a nation than the enactment of a law which plainly asserts that there is one set of duties fur men and another for women ?—and is, therefore completely at va riance with the teaching of the Divine Founder of our re ligion. In the dark ages, when a man's life was valued accord ing to his rank, when serfs were little better than beasts of burden, woman, being the weaker "animal," was treated as all weak creatures are, i.e. kept for use or pleasure, and denied all rights. It was therefore not extraordinary that in those times laws respecting marriage, such as now dig- grace our statute book, should have been enacted; but that in the present age, when " liberty " is the universal cry, when "equal Justice to all men " is the proud bout of Englishmen, such shameful differences between the two sexes should be re-enacted, would make one doubt the sincerity of those who raise their voices for social and religious freedom; for we see that where they due be tyrants, they are so. Aa a body, it is my fi rm belief that English women (and in the term I woul d include our sisters in Scotland and Ireland) are more virtuous than any other women in the world. And when we reflect on the matter, we may, per haps, be surprised to think they are so, considering the example that is set them by the so-called nobler sex. While the mother and daughters of a family are strictly attentive to their religious duties, modest and scrupulously correct in their conduct, the brothers (and, sad to say, occasion ally the father of the family) are the very reverse. Even a mother is scarcely tolerated if she inquire into the mode of life of her sons. " Women have no busiaeu to know the private histories of young men's lives." What, then have women only souls to be saved ; or, have men some se cret dispensation for practising with impunity vices which in women are held to be the destruction of both soul end body Listen to the reproofs of a pious clergyman to a poor girl who has lapsed from virtue. Does he not enlarge on the enormity of her guilt, and place before her terri fi ed mind the awfu l picture of eternal condemnation, utterly forgetting his own career at college and the life he led in his own wild youth ? Does net even the guilty father— tenfold more guilty because he has broken a solemn en gagement—does not ho coat off and utterly disown the daughter who has "disgraced" him, or the wife who has been led into vice by his bad example, or who has reta liated on him the miseries he has caused her Would I desire then that my countrywomen should him impunity to sin ? God forbid. I desire to see them con tinue virtuous and religious, as they are; but at the same time I claim for them equal justice, and I claim for them this justice from men, until the advancement of society permits them to have a voice in the enactment of laws, some of which (like that I have brought under your no tice) so deeply affect their interests. Berwick. March 26. SPORTING. C. R. COMPENSATION COURT.-STRATFORD. RAPHARL V. THE VICTORIA DOCK COMPANY.-VERDICT £'20,000. Yesterday a court was held at the Swan lon, Stratford (and subsequently adjourned to the Yorkshire Grey), before J. Gepps, Curler-Sheriff of the county of Essex, and a special jury, Mr. Bramwell, Q.C., sitting as Mr. Serjt. Chanel!, with whom was Mr. Atkinson, ap peared for the plaintiff, and the Attorney-General, with Mr. Bovill, for the company. The plaintiff, Edward Raphael, who is heir to the late Alexander Raphael, Esq , formerly sheriff of London, is the owner of a quantity of land in East Ham Marches, a portion of which—about 101 acres, 1 rood, and 1 perch—is required for the formation of the proposed New Victoria Dock. The sum of about 14,5001. was, it is understood, , offered by the oompany u compensation, but being re- 1 hued these proceedings were commenced. Mr. John Crouch, of Parliament-street, surveyor, stated he was land agent to Lord Eldon and Lord Jersey. He had examined the land, and estimated its total value, including compensation for the compulsory sale, at 39,7111. 19s. Thomas Evans, a farmer, and agent to plaintiff, stated that the land would let at about four guinea& an acre, that it was a rich alluvial soil, and would be far more valuable if cultivated as market gardens or for agricultural purposes. Similar testimony was adduced by other witnesses, who were severally crams-examined. Prior to the trial commencing the jury were occupied 'some hours in viewing the land. The case had proceeded up to about 7 o'clock, when it was suddenly brought to a close by the counsel on both sides consenting to a verdict for plaintiff of 20,0001. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN CIRCUIT.-TAUNTON, MARCH 29. Ihroaz M. Juana' Cimarron. CROCKIII3 V. MOORE. —BREACH or PROMS& Mr. Slade, Q.C. ' and Mr. Kerslake, were for the plain tiff; and for the defendant, Mr. Serjeant Kinglake and Mr. M. Smith. The defendant had pleaded that he had made the promise under the belief that the plaintiff was a person of chastity and virtue, but had found that she was not, and that she had had an illegitimate child. Mr. Slade briefly opened the case to the jury, observing that he did not put it before them as one of blighted affec tions, but as that of a young woman who had been shame fully abused and deceived. She was a person of very humble circumstances in life, being the daughter of a glazier, living in the forest of Exmoor. The defendant was a wealthy farmer of the same locality; and in 1849 the plaintiff went to live with him in the capacity of a servant. It would be shown that the defendant exhibited great partiality for the plaintiff, and that he manifested considerable jealousy towards a person named Rawls, with whom it was thought the plain tiff was keeping company, and that he at length prevailed on her to withdraw her company from Rawle, and to bestow it on himself. He was continually visiting her when she was at her father's house. He got her father to write letters to her, persuading her to accept him as her suitor ; and although there were not many of those amusing letters which usually enlivened cases of this description ' be should be able to produce two or three, which would distinctly show the relations existing between the parties. It would also appear that the defendant was in the habit of following the patriarchal custom of having his flocks and herds driven before the plaintiff's father's door, and telling her that all these should be hers if she would be his. By these means the plaintiff was induced to return to the service of the de fendant (which she had temporarily leR), and in the spring of 1852 she became pregnant by the defendant, and bore a child; and he now had the audacity to throw this fact in her teeth, and to endeavour to take advantage of his own wrong doing. After some farther remarks, the learned counsel proceeded to call witnesses. John Crocker, father of the plaintiff, deposed to various facts mentioned by Mr. Slade, in his opening speech, add ing that after his daughter was confined, the defendant promised several times to come and see her, and asked how she was getting on, but he never came to the house afterwards. In crow-examination, it was elicited that since plaintiff's confinement, witness had seen her drinking spirits and water with Rawle, the man alluded to as a former lover. Mary Crocker, lent of the plaintiff, deposed to having seen the defendant frequently with her niece. lie paid her every attention, and witness had heard him say he in tended to make her his wife. --- Two letters written by the father to the plaintiff, at de fendant's request, were then put in, and two other letters written by the defendant to the plaintiff, were also read. In one of them be says : " Elizabeth Crocker, my dear, I lore you, dear, true and sincere ; • I cannot espreas my mind, But my heart le truly thine." "I tell you as plainly as man can speak I lore you as true as my life, And I shall never be easy, my dear, Until you beams my wife. If you object to me, I newer will ask woman again It r one year, two, or ten.. In the other letter defendant repeated hie protestations of love. Clarissa Crocker and Richard Crocker were called to prove that the defendant had promised plaintiff marriage, and that he had recognised her child. John Bryant, sexton of Minehead, proved that an appli cation wu made on the part of the defendant respecting the price of a licence ; and a silversmith was called to state that the plaintiff had looked at some wedding rings. Mr. Serjeant Ringlike having addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant, a great number of witnesses were called to prove unchastity on the part of the plaintiff, among °thus the man Rawle, referred to in Mr. Slade's speech. Mr. Slade made a forcible reply, and the learned Judge having summed up, the jury found for the plaintiff—da mages 3091. The case lasted till past 9 o'clock. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-YESTEIWAY. 13173111 11 a. SLILILUTT ADAN*. ASSISTANT JUDGE. Timothy Mahoney was indicted for having stolen two bottles and three pints of porter, the property of the London Dock Company, from their dock. This case rested on the evidence of a cooper employed in the dock of the name of Dickens, who derived to seeing a person, whom he was certain was the prisoner, who was an extra labourer, leave a part of the premises where he hsd no business to be, and that he pursued him. Ile only saw the back of the person he was following, bat he was able to identify him by the "jumper " or smock-frock he had on ; and to say that it wee the prisoner. The penon finding he was pursued threw down two bottles of porter, and got out of sight. The witness went to the foreman of the gang in which the prisoner was working, and picked him out. In Dickens said he was in principle a Quaker, though ha was not actually a member of the So ciety of Fries& He had taken the oath, and considered it bending conscience ; but he had been examined without oath, before the Commissioners of Cus toms. H e de complaints beforc,and on one occasion a person whom he charged was committed for eight days. Mr. Duncan, for the defence, urged that the evidence of Dickens did not prove the prisoner's identity beyond doubt, and that the witness had shown a strange zeal in making charges against his fellow workmen. The learned counsel observed that there was also something strange about the witness professing the principles of a Quaker, and at the same time taking the oath, declaring that was binding on his cosiscience, and admitting that previously ho had given evidence without taking the oath. The jury found the prisoner Not Guilty, and the fore man said they were not satisfied with the evidence of the first witness—Dickens. THE POLICE COURTS. --- MANSION-HOUSE. E1i.:411404 .11'3111:an, domestic servant to Mr. Tyler, butcher, of Bishopsgate-street Without, was brought be fore the Lord Mayor, for final examination, on the charge of having stolen la, in gold and sUver, a shawl, and other good', the prop rty of her master. Finuis (the detective officer), upon being informed of the robbery, went to the lodgings of the prisoner, and found there the stolen shawl. She acknowledged that she had stolen the whole of the property described. Mr. Tyler identified the shawl. The ca►h-box had (he said) been broken open, and the prisoner left her place immediately after the robbery, without haling given notice, leaving some of her clothes behind her. The prisoner was committed for trial. The Lord Mayor requested that the newspapers would acknowledge hie receipt of five shillings from 0. T. U., for the poor-box. BOW-STREET. An elderly respectable-looking man, who gave the mama of Edicanl Lanyley, and described himself as private secre tary to • gentleman ; but afterwards admitted that his name was Forts, and that he was the secretary and treasurer of the Camden-town Auxiliary Association in connexion with the City of London Atissioa, was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, charged with stealing two newspapers from a coffee-shop. The prosecutor, Henry Wheeler, stated that be kept the Commercial Cuffee-house, in Chandos street. At about half-past 8 o'clock, on Tuesday evening, witness saw the prisoner in the coffee-room, and having had occasion to suspect him previously, watched his movement!. Shortly afterwarat he saw him fold up two newspapers, and place them in his pocket; and when he left, witness fuliowed him into the street, and taxed hint with the robbery. The pri soner then took the papers out of his pocket, and said, " Oh, Mr. Wheeler, here are your newspapers," at the same time throwing them down. Accordingly wituess gave him into custody. The officer produced a number of prints, tracts, papers, &c., which he found upon the prisoner. The latter in cluded a list of subscriptions to the Pratt-street Auxiliary Association. . _ The prisoner—Believe me, your worship, I cannot think what possessed me to take up these papers. I deny that I ever took any before. I had plenty of money to purchase wham if I wished to do so. I had been drnkiug with a friend, and my mind must have been affected. Mr. Henry—Can you refer me to any person who knows you, to speak to your character ? The prisoner.—l could do so, but it would be my ruin. If this goes forth I sin a lost man. Mr. Henry—But it must go forth. All I know of you is that you have committed a &Awry, and I shall commit you for trial at ones if you decline to state where you live. I see by this subscription list that there are several contri butors of a guinea each to acme religious association. Can you refer to any one of them. The prisoner —That list was the result of • meeting at the chapel of the Rev. Mr. Rogers, in behalf of our mis sion. They do not know me except as a servant in the cause. Mr. Henry—Then you decline to give any reference ? The prisoner (after a pause)—Then I must confess that my name is not Langley, anti it would be idle to 147 that I was drunk. I was not intoxicated. My name is E. ores. I am very well known—even in this neighbourhood —as a re spectable man. I cannot account fur this folly. The Prosecutor—Last Monday week I saw him separate four pages of the Weekly Dispatch from the other por tion of the paper; and after he was gone the pages were missing. The Prisoner—No, no; I never read the Weekly Dis patch. Never, believe me. Mr. Henry—l shall remand you for a week, in order that the officer may make some inquiries about yuu. The prisoner begged his worship not to detain him, but he was committed. George Hartky and Joseph Cook were charged with creating a disturbance in Tottenham•court-road, and de faming the character of Mr. Griffith,, the landlord of the Southampton Arms. The complainant stated that the two defendants came to his house in a state of partial intoxication, and one of them (Hartley) called him a thief. They were put out, but con tinued their abuse in the street, causing a mob of about a' hundred people to mumble. Hartley, in hie defence, stated, that shortly before Christ mas be subscribed a shilling to the landlord's goose-club or lottery. There were a thousand subscribers, and a number of prizes were given to the holders of certain tickets. Wit ness had the ticket No. 119, but having lost it, he gave notice of the fact three weeks previously to the drawing. It happened that his ticket entitled him to twelve pounds 'of roast beef, a bottle of brandy, a bottle of gin, and a bottle of rum; but the landlord refused to give him the prise, because he could not produce his ticket. Mr. Griffiths denied that the notice respecting the loss of the ticket was given until after the drawing, when Hartley claimed the prise. Mr. Henry deprecated the system of lottery which ap peared to be going on at public-houses, and directed the in spector to interns the licensing magistrates of the circum stance. At the same time the defendants were not justified in disturbing the inhabitants of the neighbourhood by the assertion of their grievances while in a state of drunken ness, and therefore they must each pay a fine of 10s. 11TH. Ambrose ifillon,;;ltTli;io7gassgrinder, was charged with having unlawfuLy played an organ, after having been required to depart on account of inn( as. Mr. David Pearce, of No. 24, Kcnsington.crescent, de posed that his wife was lying at home dangerously ill, and her physician had directed that she should be kept very quiet and free from any disturbance. For some time past the prisoner and seven or eight other organ grinders had incessantly annoyed them by playing their organs almost one after the other every day, in front of a gentleman's house two doors from his residence ; and, in fact, they were free from them. He believed the gentleman's family were out of town, and tho organ-men were encour aged by the servants. He had repeatedly requested them to go away on account of his wife's illness, but they took no notice of his request, and very often played the more. He sent his servant to the prisoner on the previous day when he was playing, but he refused to go, and said he was not in front of witness's house. Mr. Beadon inquired of Mr. Pearce if he requested the prisoner to go away that morning when he was playing ? The witness replied in the negative; he merely passed hint and on seeing a covetable he at once gave him into cust:ody. Mr. Beadon could not convict the prisoner, as no request had been made to the prisoner to cease from playing his organ on account of illness, which was necessary for the witness to have done, under the act of parliament, before he could punish the man. The witness said he had requested the prisoner on a former occasion. — lig.lieaclo . a - Utid that was no use. Ile ought to have re quested the prisoner to leave off playing on that morning, before he gave him into custody. If he had done so, and the prisoner had only played for half a minute afterwards, he would have inflicted the full penalty of 40s. This was a case where a fine ought to have been imposed, but ho was prohibited from punishing the prisoner in consequence of the complainant not having requested him to go away on samunt of illness. The prisoner addressed his worship in Italian, to the effect that the complainant did not request him to leave off playing, and he was not to know there was illness in his house unless he (the prisoner) was told. Mr. Beadon said it was quite clear from tho observations of the prisoner that he was perfectly well acquainted with the law upon the subject, and that he could speak English. It the prisoner was brought before him again, and the case made out, he would fine him 40s. MARKETS.

COURT OF BAMERUPTCY.-YESTEEDAT. Erroaz Ka. Coax taiONIA FONIAAAQVC. IN El TATE. This was the certihcate meeting in the case of R. Tate, jun., miller, of Uxbridge. His debts were 1,1001.; assets about 2701, _ Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, offered no opposition. He stated that the bankrupt had been in business as a miller, at Uxbridge, 17 years ; his profits bad been small, owing to the gradual declension in his trade, which had been taken away by pervora having larger capital. His books bad been well kept, and the accounts were vouched. His Honour granted a certificate of the second class. IN roc SINCLAIR. The bankrupt, Donald Sinclair, was an apothecary, of Peckham. This was the first meeting, the bankruptcy hawing been only gazatted on Friday last. From a preliminary ststement of accounts, prepared by Messrs.
