IRELAND. Draux, Fza. 18. Mr. Anstey bar declared his readiness to obey the call of his Homan catholic constituents, and resign his seat. In reply to the requisition of certain electors of Youghal, he writes as follows : Since my return as your representative, I have codes voured, faithlt.lly and conscientiously, to fulfil the pledges made by me at your hustings ; nor du I consider my self chargeable with the dereliction of principle in my public canter you seem to accuse me of. You forget, gentlemen, that my proposer was a protestant, and that 1 war favoured with the indirect support of a large number of the protes tant elector. of Youghal. Ido not coosider myself either as • tool or puppet of any bat of men in the pursuit of a course I deem consisten t and Mnsightforward. I have solulously given my attention to the furtherance of your local interests in the estahli.lnent of your lighthouse, the navigation of your beautiful riv, r, and other matters of a public character, calculated to improve the advantages ao liberally Worded by natur. ; Ira I p have resisted, and will ever resist, what I deem to be privato exaction. I have, however, determined to redeem the pledge you force upon my attention, and 'hall forthwith accept the stewardship of the Chiltern II un deeds ; and whether I shall again successfully solicit your mange. or not, I shall take with me into public or private life the hone-1 conviction of having devotedly performed my duty to my Queen and to my country.-1 have the honour to remain, gentlemen, your obedient servant, CHISHoLM AN,TEY. The local Roman catholic journal, the Cork Exa miner, expresses its delight at Mr. Anstey's determi nation, and tosnpliments him on the head of it. " We will toy this of Mr. Anstcy," says that journal, "because we are in a position to know it, there is not a man in the House of Commons who is more advanced in his views on the rights of labour, or who is a more decided friend to the interests of the tenant. However. his extraordinary crotchets on the great question of civil and religious liberty ren der him un unsafe representative fur an Irish liberal constituency, and make his intended resignation rather a mutter to be desired than the contrary. In reply to Mr. Napier's allegation, that "ever since the Act of 1429, the government patronage has been coiffured more on the Roman catholic than on the protestant conununity," and that "in Ireland it is a disqualification to be a protestant," the Fee-- man's Journal adduces the fact, that while the judi cial and official csaablishments of the Court of Chan cery and the law marts in Ireland comprise 172 offices, yielding to their occupants a gross annual income of 162,1171 V., only thirty-nine offices are held by Roman eatholies, whose total salaries amount to about 23,51111/., of which more than 13,000 f. is paid amongst the Roman catholic judges, " whom," says the Fi.ce wax. ^ the whigs take care to present to the public eye in the la. gest capitals." Following up the same statistic*, the Freeman states that in the Encum bered Estates Court the three commissioners and tut otfi -- ;;T; an; Jout stants, with "alariea amounting to R,100'., while only a nur,ter and one c•lcrk arc catho lic', with balarica lunotudiug to 1,200/.

Now a fow particular , as to the dietary tables. They are in follow. Breakfast for men, 7 on. of bread and 11 pint of arrant ; for womin, li oz. of bread and I 1 pint of gruel. Dinner for men. on Monday, Thursday, and Friday 8 us. of bread and I'. us. of client ; fur women, 7 os. of 'bread and t 1 or. of cheese; on Tuesday and Saturday, fur Inuit mid women, ;$ os. of rooked meat and 1 . 2 os. of plititoes and 1.111.4161 es; on Wednesday and Sunday for Mill and wontert, 11 pint of two soup and 7 on. of bread. The .uppi r allowances ate the same as those for breakfast. Without int ring into tedious comparisons, we may say, that the supplies are on the fullest scale allowed; in (set, the allossinei.s within this union have been twice in creased within a comparatrilv short period, and at the pre.ent moment are higher than those obtained in the Ipswich union house, the inmates of which have never complained. The following tahle will show the number of able-boil paupers in the hottse at the times mentioned : Wean,:lelay, .... January l, 1851, 50 „ .• A, „ 57 ~ 15, „ 76 .. ~ 22, 91 94 .. 29, ~ 95 February 5, „ 108 Evening of February (the night of the riot) 14 Wedue.day, After l',lrruary i m.tny of the able-bodied men left, but on the Friday preceding the outbreak large numbers obtained ailmission-onlers from the relieving uffleern, and . . came in on the following day (Saturday) to the number of tlurt)•-seven. Now, it mast be remarked, that on Satur day and Suuday the dietary tables allow fur dinner on the first day, five ounces of cooked butcher's meat, and on the second day a pint and a half of meat soup, with peas, beside the usual allowances for breakfast and supper. They are, in fact, the best days in the week, the paupers faring better than thousands of labourers outside the union-house. It was on the night of Sunday, after par taking of the hest and fullest meals allowed, and after all the paupers had visited each other, that the new comers, joined by others, broke into open rebellion, and made a wreck of the premises, on the alleged plea of insudleient food ! That labourers should have been so plentifully with drawn from their employment, and, on two occasions, crowded into this union-house just prior to the assem bling of parliament, is rendered more extraordinary from the fact that the lands they were engaged on are strong heavy soils, for which large rents are paid and much labour is required. To withhold the latter is not only to prevent the paaibility of competing with foreign growers, but it is an absolute courting of inevitable bankruptcy. The average cost of maintenance in the union-house is nearly equal to the cost of labour ; in either case the farmer has to bear the burden, bat in the first he pays It without any return, save certain ruin; whereas, in the last, he reaps those results from the employment of labour that, in propurtiou to the Frailness of the times, become more and more important. Certain it is front the testimony of parties who of all others in the hundred are best able to give an opinion—bat whose names we at present withhold —that the tour in this district have been, until the last mouth, better off than usual; and certain it also is, that these individuate are quit• unable to Five any fair solution of the causes that have led to this sudden increase of pauperism.

STRACMAN F. DOVOALL AND OTIIFLUL—APPEIV THE COVItT OF CHANCERY, JAMAICA. It appeared that the appellant, on the 2.jth of May, 184.5, Sled his bill in the Court of Chancery in Jamaica agaiust the respondents, the executrix and trustee under the will and codicils of Charles Strachan, late of the island of Jamaica, demised. The appellant sought by this bill to have an account taken of the real and personal estate of the testator in Jamaica, and to have his share and his rights and interests under the testator's will aml codicils ascertained and established by the decree of the court. The respondents put in a plea and answer to the bill, and said that by certain articles of agreement the appellant had con sentedthat all disputes and differences should be submitted to the final award of Henry Stevens and Daniel Fogarty, Eels, and that the submission to arbitration was made and executed in the month of June, 1841. The case having been let down fur argument, the Vim-Chancellor held that the plea was sufficient, and it was from that decision that the present appeal was made. The appellant contended that the order ought to be re versed, upon the ground that the plea alleged that the articles of agreement were made and executed en the month of June, 1814, and it was shown by that plea that at that period the respondents were under the disability of cover tore, and that it was proposed by the reference to submit to arbitration the freehold estates and interests in lauds of three of the respondents, although they were married women. The appellant therefore submitted that they were not competent to bind their interests by the article-4; and that the submission to arbitration was not valid, and that the award was, wider these circumstances, void. More over, the arbitrators had directed nets to be done, atter they had made their award, and hurl attempted to delegate their authority to strangers, not indicated by name, but who were to he nominated ; and the appellant alleged that he had not had a voice in their selection. The parties to the reference had not gisen any power to strangers to affect their intends. The council were of opinion that the plea must be over ruled, and that the orders which had been made by the Vice-Chancellor must be reversed. Judgment accordingly. COURT OF EXCHEQUER -YESTERDAY.

This caw having been concluded last evening, the court assembled to-day for the purpose of hearing the sum ming up. (The verdict appeared in the greater portion of yesterday's impression of the Ezpreas.) Sir F. Pollock, C.D., commenced his address to the jury at ten o'clock andeoncluded it at half-past two o'clock. After stating the various circumstances of thu case and the man ner in which it arose, his lordship proceeded to say that it WWI very satisfactory to hove arrived at the last stage in the cause. Ile undoubtedly understood that no personal attack had been made on the character or conduct of any of the directors of the company. It certainly would have been a (treat misfortune if the company had been I guilty of any regular system pf plunder or peculation, but his impression at the opening statement of the Solicitor- General wan that he had disclaimed distinctly the inten tion of imputing anything against the directors of the Dock Company, and in his reply he had dune the same thing. On the contrary, he gave credit to sevend of the witnesacs railed by the hock Company, not only fur integrity, hut an inten tion to tell the truth ; and he had certainly submitted the questions to the jury in a m r becoming the high sta tion he occupied. From the mode in which the Solicitor- General had dealt with the ease, much time would be spared, and it would be unnecessary now to go into the c.oe in detail. (The learned judge said he had just learned that two of his brethren had arrives', and as he was anxioui to consult with them in the adjoining court, he would not he more than a kw minutes away. On his return, the learned judge proceeded)—With Davis's corner they had nothing to do • and they need not express any opinion whatever rep/antis* it. Certain practieesprevailed there, but it was contradicted by so many witnesses, that he had no reliance upon it as a fact. The probability is that some thing of the kind did take place there, hut nut to the ex tent stated by the witnesses for the crown. Davis's corner, he thought, might he dismissed. The main question was what was their opinion an to the honesty of certain parties, both as to the sugar a n d COMB, and what opinion did they form regarding the allegations made in the various counts of the information with respect to the parties. The cone was very long, and funned a tax on their time, for he believed it was the longest ease that had occurred in the annals of London administration of ju.tiee. It was, however, a proof of the utility of that institution for which he had himself conevived an affectionate reverence, and when they had re turned to their homes, he was satisfied they would feel satisfaction at having discharged their duty patiently and eessiikmtely. Ile would shortly call their attention to the origin of those seizures. A witness, named Clearer, happened to he at the shocks when some lags were removed which be thought was wrong. The geode should be kept in one certain place. If removed it should be under the authority of the customs, and .0 Cleaver told his superior officer, Mr. Oldham. of what he had discovered, and the following day they made a search. They Siang' a considerable quantity sugar and cocoa, which appeared to be good, sound, and merchantable ; and no other account could be given of it, except that it was sweepings." They finally seised, and they adhered to that seizure. The case on behalf of the Crown was, that some of the goods were never entered at all, and that some never had passed the Neale. Ile had already intimated that he entertained considerable doubts whether the arguments of Sir V. Kelly concerning the over drawing. was not perfectly just and true. if the quantity of overdrawing' WS:, sir small that it was not weighecl, he did nut think that that would subject to forfeiture, and he was justified in that opinion by the short conference he had had with the other members of the court. Some of the counts charge a removal with the intention of evading the duty. But if their opinion was in favour of the flack Company. then the question of law would hardly arise. It seemed difficult to impute any in tention of evading the duty, and indeed he could not see any instance in which it was established. The truth was an eminent establishment in London had been made the subject of a visit, and it had been stated that the London Ducks were about to be visited in the same way by the cus toms. But then, was no evidence of any clandestine tu moral of any sort or kind. Waste was undoubtedly offen , sire and the customs hail sanctioned the plan of collecting together dome sweepings and scrapings, and permittintt their exportation when they arrived at a sufficiett magni tude. That bring the practice, it was not easy to say " where perquisites end ur where pilfering begun.' The result was they had some proof of the manner in which packages were dealt with. They had the warrants for the delivery and the packages produced, showing that they must have been satisfied by substituted pack ages (Sir Fitzroy Kelly —Or by compensation).— With respect to the th and 44th counts, his lordship's opi nion was in point of law, if they believed that the bags were put upon the pile of rice for the purpose of being un observed or for the purls": of not being noticed, then he was of opinion that they were clandestinely and illegally removed, and also that that was a fraudulent concealment within those two counts. If it appeared to the jury that the bags were placed where they were found for the pur pose of being Out of observation, then be thought they were forfeited to the crown, and that they should find a verdict against the defendants' on both those sauna. If they thought that the bags were not there for the purpose of evading the duty, then they should find that specially, that it was done but cot done for the purpose of evading the duty. It was not necessary that an article should be co vered over so as to amount to concealment ; if it was so placed that It might better escape remark, then, in point of law, he was of opinion that that was a concealment ; and if they were of opinion that such a concealment had taken place, they should find fur the customs with reference to that bag. If it was placed amongst the rice for the purpose of not being observed, then it beetune forfeited to the crown. Or if these bags were treated as Wickes had treated the two boxes of Ilavanuah sugar, in his opinion they were forfeited. The sugar might be divided into two parcels—the 20 casks and the S. It was said that the 20 were collected during the year 1849 from overdrawings for two years, possibly for a longer time. These .asks had not only been collected but reported to the customs for exportation. The 8 casks were gut together in a considerable hurry. After referring at length to the evidence, especially that part of it relating to the statement of the 10 bags of Ma nilla sugar, he said he could not understand how any mate or master of a vessel could sit down under the loss of 10 bags of Manilla sugar, and content himself merely with grumbling amongst the porters and foremen, and never going or applying to Mr. Powles, the secretary, or to some other member of the dock company. His lordship then adverted in detail to the evidence of the witnesses pro and eon, and stated that the mere sweepings as sweepings were not seeable unless there was some inten tion to evade the duty. It was their province to say whether there had been any concealment or removal for any purpose of disguise. if they thought there had been no intention to evade the duty, then their attention ought to be directed to the 7th and Bth counts of the information. Then the question arose as to which of the eight casks of sugar was forfeited as containing the Havannah sugar, but the crown should not be placed in a worse position than the subject. They should find for the crown foe the whole eight casks, if they could not say which was which. With respect to the cocoa their verdict ought to be for the defendants. He was of opinion that what was done by their servants was done by them for the purposes of that inquiry. The jury retired at half-past 2 o'clock, and returned in an hour with the fallowing verdict We find for the crown as regarding the two bosom of Havannah sugar, and for the Doe Company as regarding the remainder ; also, that there was no intention to evade the duty." And the jury also accompanied their verdict with a strong recom mendation to the Dock Company to be stricter with regard to their subordinate °dicers, as many irregularities bad oc curred at the docks. The Lord Chief Baron, on being applied to Mr. Wat son, Q.C., said be had never known a ptetrwrtadinquiry of that sort in which each jamas& ad not get his usual fee for attendance. The court was then Amnon!. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 19, 1851. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-YESTEBDAY. SIMMS TIM Cain C0M111.1.1.1. Ix 11 E. W. Wrox.—THE ARTISTS' ANNUITT FUND. This insolvent, a sculptor, was opposed by Mr. Dowse for the Artists' Annuity Fund. Mr. Simon appeared as counsel for a Mr. Charles Eden Wagstaff, and a creditor opposed in person. Mr. Hardinge Oiffard supported. The insolvent was secretary to the Artists' Fund Society in 1848, and ceased in July that year. His defalcations amounted to 826/., off which the Guarantee Society had paid 1001. At the time Mr. Charles Eden Wagstaff was treasurer, and he had received subscriptions which were in cluded in the sum mentioned. The money had been spent partly in taking up accommodation bills which passed be tween him and Mr. Wagstaff, who was now absent from this country, and partly in his (insolvent's) own expenses. Mr. Hardinge (Afford objected to the opposition on the part of Mr. Wagstaff, and an attorney's clerk was called to prove that instructions had been given to proceed %Mithe insolvent, and that • judgment had been l t ed, The Chief Commissioner held that the evidence did not prove an authority to oppose in this court, and therefore refused to hear the opposition. Mr. Simon said Mr. Wagstaff wax anxious to prove that he had nothing to do with the insolvent's defalcations, but on the contrary, had brought them to light. That gentle man was now in America. charge, for Messrs. Lloyd had obtained all the victory they could expect. It was a pity to call for the punishment of the men. They had expressed their conviction that they were in the wrong and their readiness to return and perform their duty, and being sensible of their error he should be very sorry to inflict any punishment upon them. Skilful workmen were the strength of the nation, and perhaps often their talents were not sufficiently appreciated. With respect to Messrs. Lloyd's treatment of their men, it appeared to be considerate and kind. The hours, from eight in the morning till half-past seven in the evening, seemed to be reasonable and the wages, which were 28s. per week, were, he thought, very good. 'Very many journey men were compelled to work longer hour; for less money. The submission of the men in this case was a defeat to the trades' union. They were obliged to give up their point, and Messrs. Lloyd had better rest satisfied with that. Mr. Lewis said he was directed by the men to state that they did not belong to any union, and they requested him to thank the magistrate for his kind interposition. The complaints were then withdrawn. BarosvoteNett.—The following sums have been received for Jane Vl'ilbred :-18s., raised by a penny subscription at the Mitre Inn Palace New-road ; and 10s. from a friend, through Mr. J. Ritchie, Orchestra-place, Old Kent-road. Mr. Dow(• raid he was not instructed to press the ease on the part of the society, hut merely to make inquiries. The society believed the insolvent had been victimised. The Chief Commissioner said as no adverse judgment was prayed he need give no opinion. lie discharged the insolvent. WORSHIP-STREET, IMPORTANT DECISION. - Mr. Arnold pronounced his judgment in a cue of considerable importance to the con gregations attending the numerous district churches and chapels erected under the provisions of the Church Building Act, arising out of a summons obtained at the instance of the commissioners of paving fur the parish of St. Luke, against Messrs. Sowter and 'Lydon, churchwardens of the district church of St. Matthew, City-road, for the recovery of 161. 17s. 9d., arrears of rates alleged to be due by them in respect of that edifice. Mr. Kiplin, who was accom panied by several of the trustees, appeared for the commis *loners, and Mr. Vann was retained for the defence. Mr. Arnold said—The defendants in this ease arc ap pointed and elected under the 6th and 7th of Victoria, chap. 37, sec. 17, which empowers them, in the capacity of churchwardens, to do all things pertaining to that office in relation to ecclesiastical matters, and the question here is, whether the liability to pay rates of this description de volves upon them. It was contended by Mr. Kipling that the defendants were liable under the 100th section of the local paving act, .30th George 111., cap. 149, and also under the 30th section of the General Metropolitan Paving Act, by the first of which the trustees are authonsed, the parish church and parochial and other chapels, tee., and to enforce the rate from the church or chapel wardens for the time being. But I am of opinion that under this section the trustees have no authority to rate the church in question, the then existing parish church itself being the only one they have the power to rate ' • and the subsequent words iu the clause, " such churches or chapels," are an obvious misprint or inadvertency. It was argued that the new district churches would be included under the term plaices of religious worship ;" but lam clearly of opinion that that is not en, inasmuch as those words, coming after the mention of parochial and other chapels and meeting-houses, must be taken to mean places of public worship not of the established church, but which places could not fall either under the denomination of chapels or meeting-houses. Under the 30th section of the General Metropolitan Act, however, tho trustees arc em powered to rate any cathedral, collegiate, or other church or churches, parochial or other chapels, &e., within such district, that there was or hereafter might be built, and the rates in respect of churches or parochial chapels are also directed to he paid by the churchwardens. 1 do not see how the defendants can escape from the provisions of this enactment. I was a good deal struck with the alleged hard ship of the defendants' position, as it was stated that if they were compelled to pay this rate there arc no funds out of which they can reimburse themselves; but, as far as legislative enactments go, they are in this respect precisely in the same position as the churchwardens of the mother church, the local act under which the latter are certainly liable to pay the rate, being quite silent as to the funds out of which such rates are to be paid. lam in formed, indeed, that the rate is usually paid out of the poor-rate, it is presumed under the local act for the regula . tion of the parish. That method is certainly not open to the churchwardens of a district church, as it does out ap • pear that any poor-rate is, or can be, raised for such trict singly, and the 17th see. of 6th and 7th Viet., chap. . 37, expressly declares that the churchwardens shall not act . in any was- as overseers of the poor. Possibly the paving rate tor the district church might be a burden on the poor , rate laid upon the whole parish, as these districts appear to be' matte parishes for ecclesiastical purposes only, or it may , be that the paving rate would be paid out of the funds, from whatever source they are derived, by which the fabric of the church is kept in repair, and the stipend of the curate and other officials connected therewith are pro ; vided for; but, however that may be, I am decidedly of opinion that the liability to pay is clearly cast upon the de fendants as the existing churchwardens. The judgment appeared to excite much surprise nn the ; part of the defendants and their friends, in whose favour, ; under their peculiar position, it was generally anticipated that the decision would be given.

John Firth, the brother of the murdered man, who is in custody on the charge, was brought before the Barnsley magistrates, for the second time on Monday, and again remanded. The only fresh facts that hare transpired since the termination of the coroner's inquiry, have reference to the movements of the prisoner prior to meeting with his brother on the night of the murder. On that evening he left his work as usual about half-put six, but it was near nine o'clock be fore he met with the deceased. /co account whatever haa been given, nor any mention made, of the movements of the accused betwixt those periods of time. Since the in ' quest, however, it haa transpired that about eight o'clock on the night of the murder the prisoner wee seen at the Gate public-home, on the road to Dodwortb, by two men, who accompanied Firth, sem, from Penistone to Barnsley. The prisoner, it appears, then refused to allow his father to remain at the house, and accordingly they pro ceeded to the town in company. lie then met with his brother, with whom he returned to the Gate. On his re ' turn with his brother an hour afterwards the prisoner de layed his departure until after the rest of the company left, notwithstanding that a portion of them resided in the locality of the murdered man's habitation. According to the pil -1 Boner's previous statement he only accompanied his brother as far as Dodworth, when he returned home. A rumour, however, has generally prevailed for some days in the neigh bourhood that he was seen with him at an advanced hour 1 near the spot where the murdered man was found on the following morning. The police have been actively engaged in endeavouring to ascertain the truth of the statement, but u yet have been unsuccessful. THE MURDER AND ATTEXPTED SUICIDE AT Lowasvorr.—An unfortunate woman, named Sarah Bly, the wife of a labourer residing at Lowestoft, on the 10th of January last murdered her infant child, aged eight weeks, by cutting its throat with a razor. She also attempted, at the same time, to put a period to her own existence, by cutting • frighthl gash in her throat ; and althoug h her life was deepened of for some days, she was so far recovered as to warrant her removal, on the coroner's warrant, charg ing her with the wilful murder of her child, to the county gaol in this town, on the evening of friday list. —lpswich ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUEf.--LANCASTER, Fyn. 18. The Commission of Oyer and Terminer and general gaol delivery, for the northern division of this county, was opened yesterday afternoon, in the Crown Court, Lancas ter, before Mr. Justice Cresswell and Mr. Justice Platt, the judges of this circuit. After the customary formalities the courts were adjourned until this day at 10 o'clock. _ . . The calendar is unusually heavy, comprising 33 prisoners, whose offences are as follows: Manslaughter, 2; attempting to poison, 1; feloniously wounding, 2; incendiarism, 2; misdemeanour, 1 ; bigamy, 2; coin cases, 2; game caae, 1 ; obtaining by false pretences, 3. The unusually large number of prisoners for trial is attri butable to an alteration in the gaol which has recently been made. The visiting justices, on the recommendation of Mr. 11111, one of the Prison Inspectors, have recently converted Lancaster Castle into a place of confinement for female pri soners and debtors only. A number of the female prisoners on trial were originally committed to the Castle to await their trial at the ensuing l'reston Quarter Sessions, but the judges have decided that they must deliver the gaol of all the prisoners. This will add materially to the cost of prose cution, assize trials being so much more expensive than those of quarter sessions. eleaT Burma Mn. honey Cararratz.. CHARGE Or OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES. A. M. I. Dumpy!, and M. J. F. Death rd were charged with obtaining a quantity of articles hom Samuel Bond under fraudulent representations, with the intent to de fraud him of the same ; other counts in the indictment charged them with conspiracy to defraud. Early in December last the elder prisoner called at the shop at Mr. Bond, iu Lancaster, and mid that he had been recommended to him to purchase some furniture. lie told Mr. Bond that he was au old soldier—a lieutenant-colonel ou half-pay. Ile then pulled out a letter, on which was " Lieut-Col. Damian', Curnforth Lodge," and then said that was his address. lie said he wanted very few articles of furniture. He had already gone into Carnforth Lodge, and he merely wanted a few goods till his arrived from London. Ile said he had been used to barracks and he did not care about it himself, hut he had a young fancily which he wished to make comfortable. He stated that he would pay in two instalments, as he had only a very poor pay, taking into account his long services. A quantity of goods were neat to Camworth Lodge on the strength of these repre sentations, but Mr. Hood not feeling perfectly stationed about his bargain, requested a security, which the elder prisoner refused to give, and would not accept a bill pay able at three months. Mr. Bond then intimated his inten tion to have the goods returned, and engaged a room ad joining the ball fur the purpose of removing the goods. During the negotiation the younger prisoner told Mr. Bond that his father had 12s. fat. a day, and that he also had some property by right of his mother. Seeing that Mr. Bond was letermined on the removal of the goods, the elder prisoner ut last consented to accept the bill, and no further proceedings were taken. Another tradesman of the town named David Smyth, a teadealer, from whom he obtained a quantity of groceries, deposed that the elder prisoner represented himself to him as being in the receipt of a lieutenant - colonel ' s half-pay. A saddler named Wilkinson also swore that it was upon the representation of the elder prisoner's being a colonel that a number of articles had been obtained from him. Mr. John Roberts, a clerk in the War-office, said that he had examined the "Army List," and he did not find the name of Andrew Montague Isaacson Bamford as a lieute nant colonel on half-pay. There is no lieutenant-colonel in the army on half-pay of 12s. tid. per day. In cross-exami nation he said that the prisoner Andrew Montague Isaacson Durnfurd had sold out as a captain and lieutenant-colonel of the Fusilier Guards in ISM. He afterwards entered as an ensign, and retired on full pay on the disbandment of the Second Royal Veteran Battalion. In courtesy it was usual to apply the title of lieutenant-colonel to any gentle man who had ever held that appointment. In addressing the prisoner ns a friend he should give him the title of lieutenant-colonel ; but he 'would nut do so if addressing him officially. Ile has no military rank in the army. Joseph Monks, the station-master at the Milinhorpe sta tion un the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, deposed to the two prisoners bringing a san containing ten packages, in cluding hampers and bedding, which was sent of to Newcastle- upon -Tyne, under the address of Mr. Isaacson."_ - . A clerk from the poet-office, named Jackson, deposed to the prisoners having addressed each other as uncle and nephew at the pint-otiice. His Lunl,hip decided that then• seas no evidence of con spiracy, and that the ease against the younger prisoner had failed. Ile lett it to the jury to say whether the elder pri soner had reprcsentell himself to Mr. Bond as holding the rank of lieutenant-colonel with an intention to deceive him, and afterwards defraud bins of the goods. The jury, after a deliberation of ten minutes, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The court was crowded to excess during the hearing— the case having excited considerable sensation in the neigh bourhood. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—YEarmatr. 14.01.. Ma. 611111.1W1T ADAMS, AIFISTAPT The February Adjourned General SC4iOllll of the Peace for the County of Middlesex commenced yesterday morn ing, at the Court House, Clerkenwell, before the Awistant Judge, Mr. Witham, Mr. Warner, Mr. Woodward, and Mr. Russell. There were 64 cases of felony, and 4 of misde meanour for trial. The learned Judge briefly addreased the grand jury upon the nature of the duties they had to perform. THIEF TRAINING. _ . George Jackson, a man paralysed in the left arm, was isonvieted of stealing a piece of bacon. The prisoner had been convicted five or sin times, and it appeared, from the evidence of two City detective otficen t that he was a regular trainer of young thieves. One of them stated that he had been the officer in nine eases where boys who had been taught to thieve by the prisoner hod been sentenced to transportation, and several of them he had known, before they fell into the prisoner's clutches, to be good, respectable boys. lie was the recognised "captain' of a regular tribe of young thieves whom he systematically drilled to make them perfect in the practice of their trade. The learned judge said this ease forcibly showed the strange defect that existed in the jurisdiction of this court, which, unfortunately, would have the effect of preventing the court passing upon this prisoner the sentence he so richly merited. The offence of which the prisoner was convicted was one of simple larceny, and as the court could not in the regular and formal manner receive and act on the evidence of the former convictions, it could not pass sen tence of transportation upon him. He certainly hoped this defect would Apee,lily be remedied, and, ere long, a deputa tion of the magistrates would, no doubt, wait upon the Secretary of State upon the subject. The court would pass o ur a n hi p m the c sane , se , tenc'erhaisevweas! passed upon n the where k 7h i l e e r f training was carried on, which sentence was that of eighteen months hard labour. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDIIALL. Si: journeymen tobacconists, lately in the service of Messrs. Lloyd, of Snow-hill, appeared before Sir Peter Laurie, upon warrants charging them that they having entered into the service of the complainants, had refused to do certain work upon being duly ordered to do, and which they could have done in the ordinary course of the ir business. Mr. Cotterell, who attended on behalf of the complain ants, represented the case as a conspiracy among the men to control their masters in the management of their busi ness. Messrs. Lloyd had reduced their late foreman to the condition of a workman, appointing another overseer in his place, which led to a demand on the part of the men that they should have tasks assigned to them, with liberty to leave off work as soon as the task was finished. The new foreman on the contrary preferred that they should work the usual number of hours, he taking care that they worked with due diligence. The workmen then refused to wet any more tobacco, thereby showing that th e y were about to bring their labours to a close, sad that they wished to avoid being charged with not mut pleting work upon which they had commenced their opera tions. As they refused to liquor the tobacco leaf, Mears. Lloyd now charged them with misconduct in refusing to obey their reasonable orders, under the Masters' and , Servants' Art. - Mr. Lewis, for defendants, said the matter had been before Sir Chapman Marshall on a previous day, and he had very kindly recommended the men to return to their work, and obey all reasonable commands, and he urged Mears. Lloyd to withdraw their complaint upon these con ditions. The men had adopted the alderman's advice, and had every day since tendered their services to their master, but be had refused them, and persisted in coming b i zi o this court for punishment . They had, on the former , expressed their mindere regret that any such azimut& - ing had arisen. Sir Y. Laurie now said that after hearing both their state ' menu it was =mammy to eater into the particulars of the FRUX MARKETS.

In the follow ing year the number was reduced to 261,279 ; and in the quarter ended the 31st of December last was 219,736. In the quarter ended December, 1848, the ordinary expenses fur the relief of the poor amounted to 426,04.11. ; in the next year, to 302,9761. ; and in the quarter ended the 31st De cember last, to 247,217/.. _ _ SACRILEGE sir YORE.—On Sunday night, or early on Monday morning, the church of St. Maurice, Monkgate, was sacrilegiously broken into. Various fix tures and other articles in the sacred edifice were either de stroyed or damaged, and a black silk hood, three black silk scarf', and a silk handkerchief, stolen therefrom. On Mon day night another sacrilege took place. The church of Bishophill Senior was broken into, acoesa into the fabric having been effected by taking out part of one of the win dows. The vestry was ransacked by the thieves, who, it appeared, succeeded in obtaining and drinking a bottle of wine. Fortunately, however, they were disappointed of the communion plate, which was in the safe custody of one of the churchwardens. An attempt had been made to force open the register chest, the thieves no doubt being under the impression that the plate was there. They had also endeavoured to break into the poor-box, but were unsuccess ful. On Wednesday night another depredation of the same kind was committed at the church of St. Cuthbert, Peas haze-green. The delinquents broke open all the desks and closets in the vestry, evidently in search of the communion plate; but they were disappointed. The locks were all de stroyed, but nothing of any material value was taken away. —YorksMra Gasette. DAILY WEATHER TABLE. El/SENDAI' Frs. 19, 1851 such of the 'following places at morning.
