Ile kis • brother—Richard Trist laremouth—who has been staying part of the time with him in London. Saw him yesterday mornieg in a cab close by here, when he said he was off, as his business called him elsewhere. Witness does not know where be is gone. Witness took an active part at the Dart mouth election on behalf of Sir Thomas Herbert—at least he did so towards the end of it. Some of the pecuniary transactions of the election passed through his hands to pay runners or watchers. lie could not say how many of those men were engaged. He pant tht mat different public-ho ABCS in the town, but cannot say how much, whether it was 1501. or 2001., or what. Ile drew the money out of the bank from his own resources, but expected it would be repaid, perhaps by Mr. Brooking. Ile drew 3.50/. from the National Pro vincial Bank by a three months' bill, and though he had not paid the whole of it himself, the sum bad all been paid to watchers. lie had not honoured the bill, and the bank had not taken proceedings upon it. It might be at the bank now for all he kuows. lie had been paid nothing himself for his own service., and he di-charged no tavern bills. In croseexaminatim by Mr. Cooke, the witness said that all the ilkturbances which had taken place had originated by Mr. Lindsay throwing the loaves out of the window among the people ; until that time there haul been no rows whatever, but Sir T. Herbert's party felt very much insulted by Mr. Lindsay throwing small loaves among them, end after that it became necessary to employ the watchers ; but fur those watchers he believed three parts of the town would have been carried off. Mr. Lindsay had fighting men so well as Sir T. Herbert's party, And the mayor and corooratiun, and the whole of the police, were upin Mr. Lindsay's side. With this witness** examination the case for the petition closed, and Mr. Serjeant Kinglike proceeded to sum up the whole of the evidence, commeotiug strongly at the outset on the dangerous and unconstitutional course which had been adopted among a small esnatituoney like that of Dartmouth by inte.dueing into the town a mob of 500 or 600 men, called quarrymen, to overawe the electors, and lead to disturbances of the peace. The learned serjeant then went through the particulars of each case of the alleged bribery, intimidation, and promises, set forth by the different wit nesses. Mr. Cooke then (in the unavoidable absence of Mr. Macaulay, who was engaged in addresing the Taunton committee) commenced his reply on behalf of the sitting member. At the :conclusion of the learned counsel's address, the room was cleared ; and alter a brief interval the public were again admitted; when The Chairman said the committee had unanimously re solved that Sir Thomas Herbert was duly a lectei to serve as a burgess in the present parliament fur the borough of Dartmouth at the last election. The committee then separated. COCK ERMOUTH. -------- - - --- When the committee met yesterday morning, the witness Whaltos was re-called and crow-examined by Mr. Rowe. Is answer to the committee, he said he voted foe General Wyndham instead of Aglionby and Herman because he thought Mr. Richardson hail behaved very badly to him in not getting the assignment settled. The witness said he thought General Wyndham had done a great deal of good in the neighbourhood, sail he thought the general bad a better right to his vote than either of the other two, sad he never intended to vote for them. When he said he would vote for the ether aide it was because he wanted to get the bailiffs out of his house. Jobs Nisbett stated that the bailiff in possession at Wild ton's was a strong blue." John Kitson said, before the election he was in possession of a bedstead belonging tot William Crewe, &voter. Witness was seat for to Beason 'a office on the 17th of hay, after the canvass began, and forma Crowe drunk. Benson asked wit ness to keep the bedstead for him, and produced a cheque book, and was about to writs a cheque for Crowe for 61., but witness advised him not to give it to hiss that night because he was so drunk. Benson had since asked witness if he would bay the bedstead, but he declined. The bedstead was still is his possession, and belonged to Benson. The week before last Beason had told him he had given 6i. les. for it, and W. 10e. besides to Crowe ; bat he did not say what the U. 10s. was for. Crowe v ited for Aglionby and Hemmen. He bad failed in business, and was in great difficulties about that time. . . . . W. Crowe was then called in, but be was in such a state of intoxication:that he could not be examined; he could only talk wildly about his having performed some extraordinary pedestrian feats " about the village of London." He was ordered by the chairman into the custody of a aseseenger of the house, with a view to ascertain as to who have drink en this occasion to frustrate the inquiry. One or two other witnesses having been examined, The committee adjourned to this morning. SHOCKING MURDER IN LANCASHIRE. NEW MODEL LODGING HOUSE IN sr. rAlaiss•S, WESIMINSTEIL Yeaterlay the whole of the poor and sleepy lookiag streets which radiate fr us 041dea-mulre as a cen tre, and which contrast sadly with the snug middie-aei d re qiectat..:ey.of ti.at tranquil terrirory, were roused to $1 TO!fil of unwonted activity by preparations for laying the foundation-stone of a new an trial lodging-house in New street, Broad-street, Golden-square. The site chosen was, not to.; srtet., oc.:upittl by a quadrangle of wretched ho vels, in which cows and pigs shared the occupancy with thieves and other abandoned characters both male and female, who demoralised and disturbed the whole neigh. blarlriod by the coo+tant recurrence of drunken orgies and ck.astyleat fra-as. Now, however, MI that is about is be ell.sostel, The hovel* have been cleared --- the "ttl _ .. o • •••.. !mine way to more or • quarters, and ail that of the ancient Babylas It s fractional portant of the old corner public Isom once notorious for 'icing the haunt of the worst of altimeters, but stow looking exceediugly unlike "A rose that wu left on its .tent," and soon to pass away along with the other abo.ninations. The new building is about to be erected under the auspices of the General Society fur Improving the Oweliings of the Working Classes, and will consist of &plain respectable looking front elevation, with stone copings and three separate entrances, and within will un link lib separate residences, each couiisting of three good MEW with water, water closets, and every other necessary dogmatic appliance. The whole will be let at rents more mesterate than are at present paid for wretched accommoda tion, and an experiment which has already been made Ok a smaller scale in the district justifies the hope that the un its rtaking will be not only beneficial to the patties for whose use it is intended. out will combine profit with lieu. vol. n' gratification fur the society. The time for commencing the inaugural ceremonies was fixed for 2. o'clock, by which time her Grace the Duchess of Sutherland, Lady Blantyre, Earl Talbot, Viscount In gestre, with several other members of the nobility had arrived, and shortly after his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who , had consented! Ito; lay the first atone. His royal highness was received with loud cheering by the crowds who not only filled the enclosure, but also thronged all the approaches to the new works. The hand of {the Ist Life Guards was in attendance, and played frequently during the proceedings. The ceremonial was commenced by the Bishop Elect of Lincoln (Rector of St. James's), who offered up an appropriate prayer, after which the children of the St. James's school sang the Old Hundredth Psalm, a remarkably fine effect being given to the music by the admirable accompaniment of the military band. The usual deposit of coirs was then laid on the stone, and a glue vessel, containing the following inscrip tion : " To the glory of God and the well-being et' his crew tures these buildings, intended as a home for the families of the labouring classes, were erected by the General Society fur Improving the Dwell-' ings of the Working Classes, on a site once occupied by the most wretched hovels. The first stone was laid on the 12th April, IS-53, by the patron, H.R.H. George Duke of Cambridge, K.G. The Rev. J. Jackson, D.D., Bishop Elect of Lincoln, asked a blessing on the work ; and Vis count Ingestre, president, and other members of the society, were present, together with Chas. Lee, Esq., bon. architect." After these preliminary preparations, and while the stone WWI being slowly lowered, iscount ha:Earns road the following address •' May it please your Royal Ilighness. " We, the president, •iee•presdent, and members of the Society for Improving the Dwellings of theWorking:Classes, beg to record our sense of your royal highnesis kindness in consenting to lay the first stone of the buildings now coat ' menced, and hail your presence on this occasion as a fresh instance of your continued interest in tho success of our in stitution. . . . "We treat that the society is not undeserving of support. The effort upon which we are now engaged is our best title to it. The buildings which are rising round us will contain 68 sets of apartments for the families of the working claws, furnished with all needful comforts, and being in happy contrast with the dwellings too commonly occupied by labouriog men. On the one side the new building is springing from the ground, on the other are the remains of the hovels which we have displaced. Well may we say, sir, Loot on this picture and on that.' A year lace thieves and abandoned characters were here mingled with industrious mechanics in the joint occupation of dearly rented rooms. Two or three families often dwelt in the same apartment. The buildings occupying the site on which we stand formed a quadrangle, and at the distance of only six feet from the dwellings was ageowhouse, the upper and lower floors of which were occupied by cows and other animals. Toe public-house still left standing was the resort of thieves and others, the refuse of the neighbourhood. In the place of dilapidated hovels highly rented, build ings are fast rising where the working man will obtain three rooms at the rate which is now paid for one wretched apartment, and that too at a rent which will compensate for the outlay. " We feel that your royal highness, in thus inaugurating this great effort, is binding closer the ties which unite the different dames of our countrymen, whilst every recog nition of the claims of labour adds lustre to exalted rank and is a good amen for coming times. These buildings, de signed doubtless long to survive those who reared them, will be one of the many monuments we bequeath to a future paeratiSin. They will show that whilst we left much still to be dew, the ties of country and the bonds of brother hood wan not with us altogether au empty name. " May your royal highness long be spared among us as the honoured instrument of works of kindness, with which the name you bear has been long connected." (Cheers.) El royal bighnas having listened with much attention le the address, bowed in acknowledgment of the special &l imitless to himself with which it terminated, acd proceeded ta the usual manipulations with a handsome silver trowel, and mahogany mallet, and having gravely tested the accu racy of hie work by a scientific application of the plumb line, the stone was allowed to rest ,in its permanent loca tion. The president, Viscount Ingestre, then briefly Linked his royal highness for his attendance, in the name et lb. society ; after which his Royal Highness said,—My Led Ingestrie, Ladies and Gentlemed,—lt has afforded tie highest gratification to be permitted to lay the first semi 0106 and I hope it will ultimately prove, great fifer I But a year since I took the chair at a probed miry sleeting, and it is most satisfactory to me to see the that has been made in that short space of time. Hear, hear.) I trust that our present ceremonial of laying Best atone will prove an earnest that the good work will be aatinued and extended as it has been begun, and i tlaveby will conduce to the comforts and advancement both here and hereafter, of numerous and deserving classes of our fellow countrymen. I trust that it will continue to receive your steadfast and earnest support. (Loud cheers.) His royal highness was again much cheered on his depar ture. On Saturday night last an awful murder was per petrated at the town of Canting, sitults Lalf-way between Preston and Lancaster. It seems that about half-put tan o'clock at night William Pendlebury, Thomas Rogerson, and John Wilding, (all of them young men, and factory operatives, in the employ of Messrs. Catterall and Co., manufacturers, of Catterall), were drinking at the Horns Inn, Ointang, when it was proposed by Wilding to adjourn to the Rose and Crown lan, Wildiag undertaking to pay for a pint of ale. They accordingly repaired to the Rase and Crown, where Pendlebury mild fora pint of liquor, and requested Wilding to pay for it, according to promise. Wadies refused, and when • glass of ale was °trued to him he threw it upon the floor. They left the house a little before 11 o'clock, Pendlebury being foremsst, and the other two slows together. At the outside of the inn Wilding ethasethood kicking Rogerson, who ran to Pcndlebury fee geoleseiss, which was granted by hint, and the two peesemWit sampan, towards Cat terall, where they lived la the with them with Wilding, who remained With& They was& about 300 yards, and then stopped is the nod until they should be joined by Wilding, in order 111 the they might all proceed home together. William Benson, a @logger, shortly afterwards met Wilding with a knife in his hand, which he showed to him, intimating at the same time that he would "do fur" his two companions, who had not long before passed him. Benson, imagining that his was only joking, took little notice of the mAtter, instil a few minutes subsequently, when the prisoner came tanning to him in an excited state, brandishing the knife stained with blood, and saying, " I've killed two, and I'm going to give myself up." Ile consigned the knife to his keeping, and straightway proceeded to the pule', station, where, con fessing the crime, he resigned himself into the custody of pulice•constable Browubill. On a search of the spot where the occurrence took place, Pendlebury was found lying quite dead in a pool of blood, tire or six yards in extent. In tee evening about 150 noblemen and gentlemen at down to an excellent and abundant dinner. The chair was taken by his Grace the Duke of AItOTLI i and among the company present we noticed Earl Talbot, Earl Jermyn, Lord Dufferin, Earl Nelson, Earl Grosvenor, Viscount Ingcstre, Right lion. Sir John Pakington, Sir J. Shelley, Right Hon. W. Cowper, Sir James Duke, Hon. and Rev. It. Liddell, Sir W. Fraser, Hon. F. Byng, Mr. Sheriff Carter, Lord Dynevor, Earl of Sheffield, Lord Hervey, Mr. Denison, M.P., Lord Emlyn, Earl of Annesley. Lord It. Grosvenor and Mr. Disraeli had accepted invitations, but were unfortunately un.ible to be present. The collection of the evening was announced to be nearly 8001. Rogerson states that when Wilding joined them where the awful deed was perpetrated, be commenced "punch ing " him (Rogerson) again. Thereupon Pendlebury said, " If he would start he should start of one of Lis equals," meaning that he must attack one of his own sire. lie had no sooner uttered the words than Wilding rushed upon him, and dealt him a blow with a weapon, upon receiving which the unfortunate man instantly exclaimed, " Oh, Tom, I'm stuck," and he fell upon the ground, and never spoke afterwards. Wilding then said, " I'll stick another ; I'll cut thy throat ;" and be aimed a blow at Rogerson, who averted it in some measure by stooping, but the weapon en tered his back, inflicting a wound two inches in length, and a quarter of an inch in depth. The fiend then ran off to wards Lancaster, as already described. Mr. Chapman, surgeon, was called in to see Pendlebury at one o'clock in the morning, but life was quite extinct ; he found, upon examination, that the instantaneous death of the deceased had been caused by a wound in the inside part of the !eft thigh, and that it was two Wan in depth, and three in length. Rogerson contrived to reach home, where he related the circumstance, and two or three parties set out for the place, where they found Pendlebury as already described. Roger son is in a fair way for recovery•. On Monday the prisoner was arraigned before the magis trates at Catterall for the attack upon Rogenon, and com mitted to take his trial at the August tunes, Lancaster, on the charge of maliciously stabbing. At a esheequent part of the day an inquest was held be fore Mr. 0. Cunliffe, coroner for the district, on view of the body of l'endlehury, when evidence to the foregoing effect wee given, and the prisoner committed to take his trial for the horrid crime. MRS. C. CIIISHDLY.—This lady is at present in Liverpool, the gue s t o f W m . Ilashbose, Esq., Oreenbank. On Saturday she visited several ladies awl gentlemen into rented in emigration (inc:uding the ladies' committee of the Liverp of Emigrants 11.tane.) Ste leaves this week for Olaiigow, but is expected to return next, and it is sta'ed as bet intention to hold several group meetings in the town. On the 23rd else will at end the Saturday evening concert, is Liverpool, when the Major ( damne d Itolaso, Esq.) has sumeassd to pnsido. NARROW ESCAPE OP MRS. ROBERTSON, OP LADY glux.—On Saturday, the 2nd instant, while quietly riding with Lord Echo's hounds, Mr.. Robertion, in order to avoid a bridge at the head of a reservoir at Lyham Dean, above Chatton, in Northumberland, attempted to cross it where some one had gone before, at what seemed a shallow place, but her horse refusing, plunged into the middle of this large body of water, supposed fifteen feet deep, and threw her. Fortunately Mr. Robertson, who is an excel. loot: swimmer, was near, and instantly got off his horse, and into the water—swam some distance—caught hold of his wife after she bad been twice under water, and quite insensible—a hold he happily never let go until she was safely landed. Sir John Marioribanks, without a moment's hesitation, also sprang in to the rescue of his respected rela tives, and was of immense service to them. They swam with her to the sluices of the reservoir, when many anxious friends were ready to receive them. All at once, however, they were stopped by the auction or under-current of the water. At this crisis, luckily, Lords Elcho and Aber• dour, and Sir George Grey, got on to a plank attached to the sluice, and were enabled to hold out a hunting-whip to Mr. Robertson, who got hold of it, and all were got out safe, though with some difficulty.—Edinburgh Advertiser. BUTANE IN DEVONSHIRE.—Seeing that the ancient superstition of the Bcltane fire is still preserved in Scotland, and is lighted on the let of May, the origin of which is supposed to be an annual sacrifice to Baal, I am induced to state that a custom, evidently derived from the same source, is, or was a few year. since, annually observed in the wild parts of Devonshire. At the village of Rollie, situated on ono of the Spurs of Dartmoor, is a field of about two acres, the property of the parish, and called the Ploy (Play) Field. In the centre of this stands a granite pillar (Menhir), six or seven feet high. On May morning, before daybreak, the young men of the village mumble there, and then proceed to the moor, where they s lest a ram lamb (doubtless with the consent of the owner), and after running it /own, bring it in triumph to the Flay Field, fasten it to the pillar, cut its throat, and then roast it whole, skin, wool, &c. At midday a struggle takes place, at the risk of cut hands, far a slice, it being supposed to confer luck for the ensuing year on the fortunate devourer. As an act of gallantry, in high esteem among the females, the young men sometimes tight their way through the crowd to get a Cice for their chosen amongst the young worn. n, all of whom, in their best dresses, attend the Ram Feast, as it is called. Dancing, wrestling, and other games, assisted by copious libations ot cider during the afternoon, prolong the festivity till nigh f dl. The time, the place (looking east), the mystic pillar, and the ram, surely bear some evidence in favour of the Item Feast being a sacrifice to Beat—Notes and Queries. MARYLEBONE.—The police in Edinburgh have been active in their efforts to god some corroborative cir _ cumstances of the confession of murder made before the magistrate at this office on Wednesday last. But all their exertions have failed to find the slightest trace of the al laze I deed, or, in fact, of the existence of any such lo es'i•yy as was describocl. There is no " Blair's e10i,," in the Canongate as was stated by the person in custody ; and though a place goes by that name in the Castle-hill, all the inquiries of the police have been ineffectual in connecting it with the statement of the party in London, who is be lieved in Edinburgh to be insane. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 13, 1853. NA PAL. THE TRIAL OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON THREE-DECKER. Powrsmoutll, APRIL 12.—The Duke of Welling ton, 131 guns, screw steamship, Captain 11. U. Martin, C.ll , came into hat hoar to-day fr.ln Bpithead, having comp et,d the trials of her engines. To-day she has undergone several trials of her expansion gear, and other points, all of which have been most successful. She steamed into harbour in' the finest style, easily stemming the strong tide that had just turned. The results of this, the first trial of this great ship, have been altogether of the most sstisfactory character, ' and have affo.ded the highest pleuure to all wh3 have been ' concerned either in her constructicie her •••'-'- • urourrnacturt 01 tne putting them together. She made her I al runs at the measured mile (reported yesterday) without the slightest flaw occurring is her machinery, and, although the 10.103 knots per hour she averaged was accounted a surprising result, there is no donbt but that she will ulti mately even surpass that. The above speed was but about 2 knots per hour less than that averaged by her Majesty's steam yacht Fairy, in her recent trials ; the latter being a vessel expressly built for speed, having received every im provement that was calculated to adapt her for the screw. Admiral Superintendent Fanshawe, and Captain Sir D. Walker, surveyor of the navy, were on board during the trials yesterday, and amaig other naval and sci entific officers and gentlemen, M. Dupuy de Lome, the builder of the French steam ship of war Na poleon. Mr. Abethell, master shipwright of this dock- Nyard, the buil.ter of the Duke of Wellington ; Messrs. apier, of Glasgow, Ly whom the engines were con structed, and Mr. Murray, chief engineer of this dockyard. and his chief assistants, by whom the eng'nes have been put together, were also on board, and received numerous congratulations on the succors of their united skill. Dur ing the trials of the Duke of Wellington many thousands of persons congregated on the ramparts of the garrison, at Southsea-common, Gosport, and the Isle of Wight, and the outbursts of cheeriug from them, when the gigantic ship approached within hearing distance, were of the most en thusiastic character. The ease with which, with a screw propelled by engines of only 70 horse-power, she breasted the tide gave them su ffi cient cause to do so. She has now, as already stated, come into harbour again, and will pro ceed with her fittings. She has her shot and water on board, and is otherwise progressing rapidly. ADMIRALTY, APRIL 12. Master J. C. Jones to Dasher. PoarsMount, APRIL 12.—The sickness on board the Agamemnon, 91, does not abate. Of those returned from the hospital u cured, 4 have been again attacked to-day and 16 yesterday. The Sidon, 2'2, steam-frigate, came into har bour to-day to have defects in her machinery made good. The Odin, 12, steam-frigate, sailed from Spithead last night fur Plymouth. Tne Vulcan, iron steam transport, has had her bottom examined to-day in dock. It was payed over 10 months' since with Hay's composition, since which the Vulcan has been to Australia and back, and now this is hard and in good preservation the iron being entirely free from oxidation. The bottom Is also quit* clean. SPORTING. LATEST BETTING AT MANCHESTER. Tr DAY, Aram 12.

Thomas Scrivener, 40, and Sytrester Tomlin', 50, were indicted,the former for stealing and the latter for feloniously receiving, 12 pounds of nails, 32 screws, and two pieces of paper, the property of Robert Garrett, the master of Scrivener. The prosecutor was an ironmonger carrying on business at Stanmore, and from suspicion entertained, caused the prisoner Scrivener, who was in his employ as a smith, to be watched. Tomlins was a man of respectable standing at Stanmore, and had a number of houses there. Ho was having some cottages built, and supplied the materials him self. A policeman detected Scrivener taking some nails, just before eight o'clock in the morning of the 29th ult., to Tomlins house. The officer followed him through the gate way of the yard adjoining the house, and afterwards saw the prisoners together in a back kitchen. Scrivener at that time had the parcel of nails in his hand, and said Mr. Tom line had ordered them of him that morning. In reply to this he said he should take him into custody for stealing them, and that he should charge Mr. Tow line with being the receiver. Tomlins said he had nothing to do with it. He had not received the property, but should have done had he (the officer) not been so quick on him. The prosecutor denied that Scrivener, who had worked for him 11 years, had any " authority to sell goods," but stated in the course of his examinatioa that be had told Scrivener that if he dealt with Tomlin' at all it must be for ready money, and that he did not care about Tomlin' dealing with him at all. He Identified the nails as his property, as also some butts, brackets, and screws, which were found on 'Tomlin.' premises. It was shown that Tomlins was on the prosecutor's premise, on the morning of this transaction, at about half-past six o'clock, inquiring for Scrivener, and afterwards Scrivener informed the ser vant girl that Tomlins had been and ordered nails, and having got tho nails he left the premises openly with them, knowing that the girl was observing him. The prosecutor stated that Scrivener aever served in the shop, but soma times assisted in it. The Assistant Judge held that there was no evidence to go to the jury as respected Tomlin', and The jury, after hearing Kr. BMLinda' for Scrivener, and evidence to character, reAtrnad a verdict of Not THE POLICE COURTS. BOW-STREET. William Wilkinson, described as a captain in the 73d Regiment, was charged with assaulting William Daniels, of 8, Serjeant'a-inn, Fleet•street. The complainant stated that he wu in the dress.circle of Drury-lane Theatre, with his wife, on Monday evening. The defendant, who was accompanied by a lady, entered the adjoining box at an advanced period of the evening, and commenced talking in a loud tone of voice greatly to the annoyance of the ladies and gentlemen sitting near him. Witness remonstrated with him, begging him to speak in an undertone; but the defendant called him a blackguard, threatened to blacken one of his eyes, and continued the conversation with his lady in such a way . as ' to prevent a large portion of the audience from enjoying the performance. W Rues' took no further notice of him, but when ho wu getting his wife's bonnet before leaving the theatre, the defendant walked up behind him and deh berately kicked him. Witness said he would give him into custody if he could get a policeman, and, on reaching Drydges-street, spoke to Inspector Hancock upon the sub- ject, describing the conduct of the defendant in the theatre, and the assault which was subsequently committed in the lobby. The inspector said he could not interfere in the matter; and while they were talking together, the de fendant came up' and struck him twice, the second blow being a very severe one, and causing his nose to bleed. Mr. Robertson, of 28, Surrey street, Strand, corroborated the greater portion of the complainant's evidence. Inspector Hancock stated that the complainant did not tell him that he had been kicked, but he spoke to witness respecting the defendant, in the presence of the latter, in a manner calculated to excite him to commit an assault, stating " That such a fellow ought not to be admitted into the boxes, but only to the gallery." The defendant said, after this provocation, " I could crush him with a blow." Witness told him he had better not, but he insisted on striking the complainant, and then witness took him to the police-station. _ . . The defendant said he was followed by the complainant in an insulting manner. Ho denied having kicked him; and with regard to the alleged disturbance in the theatre, he was only criticising the performers in a legitimate manner. Mr. Jardine said it was open to any person who was an noyed in a theatre by the conduct of another to go and complain to the officers on duty The complainant was not prudent in repeating his complaints after the performances were over, and his (Mr. Jardine) could not imagine his rea son for doing so. Still the provocation did not justify the assaults, especially the second, which was a severe one. His worship then fined the defendant 11., which was paid. C LERK EN WELL. _ _ The case of the disputed tithe rate in the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, came on again yesterday, upon the adjourned summons against Mr. Mark, of 8, High Holborn. There were besides 180 summonses of like character before the court. _ . Mr. Corrie said that upon the best consideration ho could give the matter, he was of opinion that the Rev. Drs. Worthington and Mansfield were entitled to collect the tithe rate. There was an appeal from his decision at the quarter sessions, and what he would propose was, that all the summonses, 180 in number, should be adjourned for a fortnight, in order that some arrangement should be made as to the appeal and the costs. The fortnight's adjournment was ultimately agreed to. WESTMINSTER. Robert Pope, late butler to Earl Jermyn, was charged with forgery. The prisoner had been in his lordship's service many yearn, and had saved a considerable sum of money. It was proved that he had induced another gentleman's servant to bring 1001. to the house of his master, upon the representa tion that the earl wanted pecuniary accommodation for a few weeks, and would give his acceptance in return. The lender went to the house with the money and a drawn bill. The cash was taken up stairs, and the bill duly signed brought down, but it is needless to say Earl Jermyn knew nothing, till some time afterwards, of the proceeding. The prisoner was committed. THAMES. Mr. E. H. R. Coleman, of the General Register and Record °Mee of Seamen, applied for a warrant of commit tal against John Charles Beale, late of No. 20, St. Vinoent strect, Stepney, who was convicted on Thursday last in the penalty of 51., for a violation of the Merchant Seamen's Pro tection Act, in obtaining the sum of 31. from an engraver, named Thomas Rockington, of Rider's-court, Leicester. square, under pretence of obtaining for him a; berth as cuddy Errant on board the ship Lady Flora, bound to Australia. Mr. Coleman said that since the conviction of Beale, it had come to the knowledge of the Board of Trade, b whom he was deputed to act in this matter, that Beale had obtained money of many other persons who were desirous of emigrating to Australia, under pretence of obtaining berths for them on board ships, and enabling them to work their passage out to the gold regions on wages. Five of hie dupes were now in attendance, and of 351. demanded of them, he had received 111. These were all cases of extreme hardship. The persons of whom Beale obtained the money were in good situation., earning from 255. to 30s. per week They had broken up their homes on the representations of Beale, that he could procure them good berths on' board a ship bound to Port Phillip. One man, a tailor, who had been in the receipt of 30s. per week for the last tire year., had thrown up his place, and was now in a destitute condi tion. Mr. Yardley said, he convicted Beale on Thursday after noon, and, on Friday morning, when he came down to the court he received a letter, signed John C. Beale, stating that by the time it reached him the writer would have ceased to exist. It might be a rate to obtain compassion or otherwise. He sent for inspector Smith of the K divi sion, and handed him the letter, and he was informed next day that Beale was in custody, or. a charge of attempting to commit suicide, and that he had been taken out of the canal under circumstances which left it doubtful whether it was not a ruse. The magistrate then signed the warraat committing I Beale to prison for two months. MARKETS. COl TON—LtogneooL, Arum 12.—The rnarket closed very firmly, with every description of cotton fully as dear as as Friday. The gales were estimated at 6,000 bales, and comprised 6,000 American (1,000 for export and 1,000 on speculation) ; 140 Pernam and Maranham, at 611. to Go. ; 20 Bahia, at 61 d. ; 300 Egyptian, at .50. to Bd. ; 300 Surat, at 30. to 4g.; and 60 Sea Islands, at 22d. to '2a. sd. MANCHESTER, AFILIL 12.—The market is quiet, but firm. The spinners of flee yarns have had a good demand, and have obtained a trifling advance in prices. In the lower and medium counts of yarn much has depended on the prices asked, and where spinners have emulated the Liverpool cotton trade, in seeking an advance of rates, hut little business has been effected; where moderate rates have been sought buyers have operated more freely, hut generally speaking prices are very firm. Ia cloth, prices are very firm, and there is nearly an average business—ex cept for domestics, which are still in limited request as con trasted with the make of these cloths. Both in yarn and cloth there appears to be a fair demand, but it is checked by the upward tendency of prices. Spinners are also a good deal harassed by the demands of the operatives for an ad vance of wage'. At Bolton the hands in the fine trade made a demand for 10 per cent. rise some weeks ago, which led to a compromise, resulting in an advance of 5 per cent. At Bury a similar demand was also compr mnised in same cases. At Preston, Blackburn, Oldham, Ashton, and other towns, demand has been made for a 10 per cent. advance ; bat the operatives and their employers have not been able to come to an und,rstanding. The spinners of low numbers of yarn have other difficulties in the way ; !Cotton is Id. per lb. higher than this time last week, whilst oil, straps, and geering, which form heavy charges on the millowners, ere all considerably dearer. Under these cir cumstances it will be difficult to meet the demand of the operatives, and there is a strong disposition to resist them. The weavers are probably deterred from seeking an ad vance by the fast that part of their number—some thou sands of the hands on domestics—are only working fear days per week. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—LrEns, Arm 12.—The stock of cloth id the markets was go considerably reduced on Sa turday, and not being replenished this morhing 11 any quantity of fresh goods, there was scarcely any choice to purchase from ; the amount of business that has been done to-day, has been consequently of a limited character. Prices ars advancing, and orders are constantly refused, except at higher rates. WOOLS.—licrinzasrtEcn, April 12.—We have a good business doing in the middle and better qualities of German and Colonial Wools, and prices are firm ; but in other sorts of low Wools there is some little falling off in the demand. MANUFACTURES. HUDDERSFIELD, April 12.—A fair quantity of goods was brought to market to-day, but the demand for them has not been quite so brisk as for a few weeks back. A few pieces in new patterns, adapted for the spring trade, were shown in the Cloth-hall, and disposed of at good prices. CORN.-111:tx, April 12.—At to-day's market we had a very short supply of farmers' Wheat, which met a pretty ready sale at about Is. below the prices of last week. Only a retail sale for foreign. Nothing doing in Barley. Oats fully as dear. Beans rather improved sale, at the reduction noted last week. No demand for Peas. A very dull Lin seed market. We again reduce our quotations for Linseed Cakes but there is a fair consumptive sale thereat.. No Rapeseed offering. Rape Cakes are scarce, and ss. per ton dearer, with no foreign left. Imports from April 2 to April 8 : Wheat, 2,920 qrs.; Barley, 1,510 ; Beans, 3,000 ; Tares, 140; Linseed, 4,3%; Bones, 340 tons. LEEDS, April 12.—Our arrivals of grain continue very limited ; the decline in London, and the inactive state of the flour trade, cause our buyers to restrict their purchases of Wheat to t he smallest possible extent, and the little buel. nese done is at Is. per qr. under the rates of last week. Select samples of Barley an ready sale. Beans move slowly. Oats and other articles as before. Arrivals this week : Wheat, 1,655 qrs.; Oafs, 110; Barley, 1,005; Beans, 211; 45; Peas, Shelling, 84 ; Rapeseed, 153. LIVERPOOL, April 12.—The receipts into this port during the week consist of a fair quantity of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland, but of other articles thence, or anything coast wise, we have little to notice; from the United States, however, the imports include a liberal supply of Wheal, with • further very large increase of Indian Corn and and Flour, and from Spain and various parts of the Medi terranean, fair arrivals of Wheat, Baxley, Maize, and Flour. Notwithstanding these abundant importations and the de pression noted in London yesterday, the general state of our trade this morning has been tolerably steady ; we had a good number of buyers in attendszee, and a fair busi ness transacting in Wheat, chiefly for the interior, at Fri day's rates for all fresh qualities, as well of middling as superior classes • inferior and s ta le descriptions are, how ever, very unsal eable, at an uncertain reduction of value. There was also a good extent of business doing in Flour, with a partial decline of 6d. per barrel since this day se'n night, but upon the whole rather better terms than were accepted at the close of the week. Barley is neglected to day ; but Malt, Beans, and Peas are steady, with a mode rate demand. Oats and Oatmeal scarcely vary in value, but the trade is less active. White American Corn sells in fair quantity at le. reduction; the market remains nearly bare of yellow, and prices are nominal. Arrivals from the sth to the 11th April, inclusive, into Liverpool and Run corn:—Wheat, 18,082 qrs. ; Bar ley, 1,760; Malt, 873; Oats, 7,515 • Beans, 623 ; Peas, 63 ; Indian Corn, 24,985 ; Oatmeal, 7, 9 44 sacks ; Flour, 6,309 sacks and 41,776 barrels. Exports to Ireland :—W heat, 1,001 qrs. ; Indian Corn, 3,752; Oatmeal, 365 sacks; Flour, 667 sacks and 1,040 barrels. LYNN, April 12.—Farmers being much engaged in spring sowing, supplies are small, and the trade dull for Wheat, at about Is. per qr. decline. Very little else at market. The following were current prices :—Wheat, old, 621bs. to 631b5., 465. to 48s. per qr. to the growers; best, new, 681bs. to 591b5., 395. to 415.; ditto, rune, 55Ibs. to 581b5., 355. to 38s. Barley, 28s. to 325. Beans, 325. to 365. NEWCASTLE, April 12.—The weather still continues as favourable as could be wished for seeding and agricultural operations, but the temperature is low for the season. At our market this morning we had a moderate show of Wheat from the growers, and, although the arrivals have been equally so, the unfavourable report from Mark-lane pro duced a corresponding feeling here, so that when it was ne cessary to clear vessels, a concession of fully Is. per qr. had to be made. This decline, however, did not extend to graneried parcels, which were held firmly. Flour moves off very slowly, and must be written fatly Is. per sack cheaper. For Rye we had no inquiry. The weather still keeping favourable for malting, tine Barley sold pretty freely ; whilst red samples were much sought after, and commanded long prices. Grinding without change. In Malt little stirring. Beans and Peas without material al teration; whereas Oats, on an extended inquiry, were the turn higher. CATTLE.-SALTOBvRY, April 12.-This morning we were barely supplied with Beasts of a very meagre descrip tion ; and the attendance of buyers was moderately good. The demand for good ox Beasts, which were extremely scarce, was more active, and prices were a shade higher ; but for inferior animals the trade was dull, and last market's quotations were sustained. The supply of Sheep was also very limited, and those of the best quality are very rare. From the extremely high rates demanded on the part of the graziers the trade was very sluggish, but, however, a clearance was effected, and prices had an upward ten dency. There were not any Lambs on offer ; but we hear that tho prices asked in effecting private sales are enor mously high, and retailed by the butchers at from 9d. 10d. per lb. The supply of Calves was heavy as to number, and the best things brought full rates; and, though prices advanced slightly, we do not alter quotations of this day fortnight. The supply of Pigs was good, for which there was au adequate demand, and prices continue to advance both for live and dead stock. Prices : Best Ox Beet, 10s. to 10s. 6d. per store ; cow and heifer, 9s. to 9s. 6d. Best Down Mutton, lid. to Bd. per lb.; long-woolled and inferior, 7d. to 7fd. Veal, 61. to 6fd. Pork, fresh and salt, 61d. to 71d. per lb., and 10s. to 10s. 6d. per score. Bacon, green, per lb., 7fd. to Bd. ; dry, 81d. to 9d. ; ditto, per score, Ws. to 10s. 6d. Store Pigs, 18s. to 30s. each.
