IMPORTANT TO CREDITORS IN BANKRUPTCY. — At the county court, North Shields, recently, Mrs. Farmer, administratrix of the late J. Farmer, musenger of the Court of Bankruptcy, Newe as tle-upon•Tyne district, brought an action avainst Mr. E. Taylor. Mr. Hark, for the plaintiffthe , s t a ted that the ac tion was brought to reco ver ilk Se., amount of the taxed bill of the messenger of the Court of Bankruptcy, for services rendered to the defendant, Wm. Mr. Taylor, as petitioning creditor, under a fiat against Henderson, pipe-maker, North Shields. It was usual for the funds in court to meet the expenses of working a fiat i n bankruptcy. In this case, however, the fUnds had been exhausted by the solicitor's bill and some other charges. There was no doubt, in point of law, that the petitioning creditor was liable. Mr. Haile, having referred to " Burw e. ood Felwn" and one or two other authorities, added that Mr. Commissioner Fane had decided, a few weeks ago, that the messenger's bill must be paid although there were no assets in the hands of the official usignee. Wit ness having been called, the judge asked Mr. Wheldon, who appeared for the defendant, how he could meet his case. Mr. Wheldon said that the case wu exceedingly hard upon hi. limit. There was no estate, and his client had already lost a considerable sum.—His Honour: That may be true, but why was the fiat issued? The messenger had per formed certain services, and the defendant put the machinery of the Court of Bankruptcy in motion. The jury then re turned a verdict for 111. Ss. ?dr. Mule then stated that there was another action in which Mrs. Farmer was plain tiff, and Meson. Walker and Turner, assignees of Hen derson, were the defendants. The sum sought was 201., the amount of the messenger's bill, ter services rendered after the choice of the assignees. The defendants had ac cepted the oilier of assignees, and must, in point of law. discharge the bill. Mr. Wheldon said this case was harder than the other. His Honour said the law was clear, and a verdict was accordingly returned for 201. IMPORTANT INFORMATIONS UNDER THE FACTORY Acr.—Meters. W. Barret and W. White, hosiery manufac turer., of Loughborough (says the GrimierAire Mereuey) were charged by James Bury, sub-inspector of factories for this district, with neglecting to place in the factory a notice of the hours for beginning and leaving off work.—Mr. White appeared and admitted the offence. and was fined 21. and costs, the lowest penalty the magistrates could inflict. —The game parties were then charged with employing Han nah Smith in their factory more than eleven hours in one day, to wit, 13; hours.—Mr. White said that Hannah Smith in point of fact had worked only 61 hours, but that accord ing to the construction put upon the act of parliament by the inevectnrs, a construction which he considered involved great absurdity, he must admit the charge.—Mr. Bury, in reply to Mr. Acworth, said the 26th clause of the act provided that the time any female or young person worked in ore day should be reckoned from the hour at which the first young person commenced working in the morning.—Mr. Acworth thought that a very unrighteous decision.—Mr. White said that Hannah Smith commenced wt rking at a quarter past one o'clock in the day, and worked six hours and three quarters; but other parsons having worked for a similar length of time before she commenced, she was deemed to have commenced when they did, and con sequently was deemed to have worked thirteen hours and • half. He (Mr. White) considered this a great hardship to the persons employed, for he was thus forced to turn off half his hand s ; and the sufferers were not only them who were employed upbn the machinery, but a far greater number who were employed elsewhere in finishing the work made thereby. lie always understood that the act was made for the purpose of preventing cruelty, but in this case its operation was din ctly the reverse, the effect being to throw out of work so many people who could not by any argument of common sense be paid to have been overworked; and this at a time when employment a l sow scarce that many were seeking it in vain. Mr. White stated that the act operated with great hardship upon the =thaw, turer, as the only way in which he could Increase his pro duction would be by making more machinery ; while the capital expended upon that already constructed was lying idle and unproductive. He had been told by an eminent cotton-spinner, a man in the habit of making close calcu lations, that it he might be allowed to employ two sets of hands, each working eight hours a day, he could afford to give for these eight hours' work as much as he could for ten hours' work of one set only, for this reason—that in the former case the capital employed in the construction of the machinery would bear interest sixteen hours in the day, and in the :atter only ten hours.—Mr. Acworth said he never heard of a more irrational act passed by any legisla ture, and wished the whole House of Commons were present to hear Mr. White's remarks.—Mr. White added that the principal inspector, Mr. Saunders, said that if the magic. mates inflicted a lenient penalty, he (Mr. 8.) would increase the number of cases, which would increase the costs ; it would, therefore, be acting kindly towards him (Mr. W.) to inflict the highest penalty, namely 31., and be would then admit nine more cases. If the inns inflicted a lower penalty, Mr. Saunders would ist upon twenty nine more informations but if the highest penalty was inflicted, he would be satisfied with nine more.—Mr. Ac- worth said he never saw a more irrational or absurd law. He never knew • harder case, and if he had known its bearing nobody should have induced him to have attended tUe bench. He thought the inspector's conduct was not only harsh towards the defendants, but that he was dictating to the bench. He hoped there was an appeal spinet their decision.—Mr. White said there was no appeal except to the Secretary of State for a remission of the penal ties. Might he ask the bench to assist him in procuring that?—Mr. Acworth replied that he never inflicted a penalty with greater reluctance since he had acted as a magistrate, and if Mr. White would draw up a memorial, he (Mr. A.) would, if he approved of it, sign it, and do all he could to assist him in the recovery of the penalties. He asked Mr. Bury what was the object of this absurd act ? Mr. Bury replied it was to secure uniformity of working in factories, without which it would be impossible to ascertain whether persons were worked proper hours or not. Mt. Acworth said that was absurd, as the men in the dockyards of this country were employed by relays, and it was easy to ascertain what hours they worked. Mr. Bury admitted that none of the hands employed in Messrs. Paget and White's factory worked more than six hours and forty five minutes en the day named in the informatioa. A penalty of 31. and meta was inflicted in each of ten cases; after which Mr. Acworth again exorered his opinion of the in justice of such a law, and said that if Mr. White had not admitted the offence he (Mr. Acworth) would not have con victed him without being compelled by a mandamus to do so. 1•1:11,Ilei , M MAW CATFIEDRAL REFORM REFCBED.—A letter published in Lincoln states that at the last audit of the Dean and Chapter the dean expressed his anxiety that the cathedral should be thrown open to the public, without charge, from nine till four in the winter, and from nine till six in the summer, except during the performance of divine service. " It is stated" (says the Stortifiwd Mercury), " that the pre centor and the chancellor (the two Pretymans), who had got over Dr. Bonney to their aide, out-voted the proposal.— The same authority states that the dean u nsuccessfully pro posed that, in lieu of the fees of the per sons who exhibit the cathedral, an allowance should Ise made by the chapter; and that his further proposal to obey the law, by having a second sermon in the cathedral each Sunday, was negativt d on eco nomical grounds ; as also was a proposal to increase the effectiveness of the choir. Would that the dean could cleanse the temple of moneychangers! It is melancholy to find that a modern appointment has added to the number sr them." DISCOVERY OP OLD COINB.—A few days ago the workmen employed at the railway cutting at Oreetwell-hill bad the i,ood fortune to discover a quantity of ancient silver coins. Upwards of 200 pieces were picked up, as slo a couple of antique silver rings. The coins comprise a few of William the Conqueror, a large number of Menu 11., and a still larger number of those of Stephen. All are small, and very imperfectly die-struck, so that it is not with out difficulty that the dillirent reigns can be distinguished. At the time Doomsday Book was prepared, Oreetwell, which 113• F comprises two or three farm-houses, was a popu lous hamlet, and it seems not improbable that this treasure was bidden during the struggle for supremacy between Matilda and Stephen. An old historian relates that " the Empress (Matilda), finding her measures broken by the crafty bishop of Winchester, hastened to Lincoln ; but the King followed close, and besieged that city and took it, yet she made her escape." The spot of the deposit of the coins was marked by its being covered with a lot of shells. LINCOLN PARTISANS.—It was rumoured in Lincoln on Wednesday that the tories purpose making more work for the lawyers, by disputing the qualification of Mr. Hob house. The Lincoln Mercury of Thursday says: " During the night before the recent election, and on the day of the poll, the most abominable intimidation was resorted to for the purpose of compelling persons to vote for Mr. Humfrey. Every instance is being investigated ; and when the evidence is matured, the whole of the facts connected with this tory system, which, bad as cot ruption is, is infinitely worse, will, we are assured, be laid before the House of Commons, in • petition to demonstrate the necessity of the ballot. Poor men were threatened with deprivation of labour, if they dared to act independently, as the law requires them ; some have been turned off because they suffered conscience and inclination to prevail; tenants of houses were threatened with ejectment unless they gave the vote as the landlord di. rioted ; end it is understood to admit of proof that landlords declared they would have none but tory-voting tenants; tradesmen were threatened with deprivation of patronage; and to tome since the election it has been intimated, by former patrons, that the accounts must close because of the votes." PETERBOROUGH FARMERS' CLUB.—At the lag monthly meeting, the question being, " How the moral and social condition of the agricultural labourer can be best im proved t" it was resolved, 1. That reviler and remunerative employment is essential to the welfare of persons deriving their subsistence from labour. 2.

COMPROMISE OF SUIT DT THE SOLICITOR.—LACRES OF THE CLIENT.—The plaintiff's father filed a bill against the defendant, his brother-in. law, for spec fie performance of on egret meat to grout him, for com-iderations in the bill "Mud, an annuity of 401. and 101 a year toward' rent of it house during his life, and a decree for these two annuity payment', with interea on the arrears then due, was made by Vice• Chancellor Knight Bruce in Dec.,1841. (Seel Younge and Collyer,l3B.) That decree was affirmed on appeal by Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst in Jan. 1845. The plaintiff, upon his father's death, took out administra. tion to bins, revived the suit, discharged his father's solici tor, and employed Mr. Frederick Boron, who without the plaintiff's consent or knowledge, as he alleged, compromised the suit with the defendant for 5401., which the defendant paid to him (Boson). This was in July, 1845. An arrange ment was made to stay all proceedings in the suit. Mr. Boson applied the money to his own purposes except some part which he paid to a creditor of the plaintiff. The plain tiff in December, 1846, finding Boson to be insolvent, de mended the debt from the defendant, repudiating the acts of I Boson, and denying that he ever sanctioned or was informed of the compromise.—VicseChencellor Knight Bruce, upon application to him to confirm the arrangement made between the solicitors of the parties in July, 1846, refund it and declared the same void. This was a motto* to &- charge his Honour's order.—Mr. J. Russell and Mr. Chand ler were heard on Wedneeday and Friday last in support of the appeal.—Mr. Cooper and kfr. R. Palmer supported the Vioe-Chancellor's order.—The Lord Chancellor on Satur day morning, without hearing the reply of Mr. Russell, pro ceeded to give his judgment. Having read correspondence and affidavits in the cause, his lordship said it seemed to him that the compromise was fair enough. The ' question was, however, whether the plaintiff or the defendant was to he at the loss of the money which Boron received and misapplied. Although it was clear that a 'elicitor or agent was not justified in going beyond the authority given to him by his principal, still, if the principal became acquainted with the agent's arrangement, and did not come in reasonable time to complain, his silence was to be taken as an acquiescence. Here it appeared that the plaintiff became acquainted with the act of Boson in Dec., 1846, and he slid not complain of it until after he found that Boson was insolvent, and then, in 1847, he demanded the payment of the money. The principle :aid down by Lord Lyndhurst in the case of " Fernier v. Boyle" (4 Russell, 1848), was applicable to this case. The Vice-Chancellor's order was at variance with that principle. His lordship re peated that it was solely on the ground of the plaintiff's resting content so long after being aware of the compromise and of the payment of the money to Boson that he founded his opinion of the case that the Vice-Chancellor's order was erroneous, and ought to be discharged with the costs in the court below. SWALLOW V. WALLINGFORD.—SOLICITOR B . — RESTRA INT AGAINST PRACTISING.—This was an appeal motion to dis charge an order of Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce. The plaintiff and Mr. Day were solicitors in partnership at St. Ives, and the defendant had been their articled clerk ; and in the articles he bound himself not to practise within thirteen miles of St. Ives after hie apprenticeship was completed. The partnership between the plaintiff and Day was dissolved afterwards, and they practised separately in St. Ives. The defendant served out has articles with Mr. Day, and on the completion of them in 1847 commenced practice in the same town. The plaintiff filed the bill for an injunction to restrain him, and the defendant by his answer alleged that he had the sanction of Mr. Day, to whom alone he was bound by the articles. The Vice-Chancellor refused the injunction. Mr. Malibu and Mr. Roe& were in support of the appeal motion, and distinguished this case from that of " Capes v. Hutton" (2 Russell, 357), on which the Vice- Chancellor appeared to have relied in refusing the injunc tion, and they contended that the case of " Nichols v. Stret ton " (not reported) was applicable. The defendant's cove nant was made to both Day and the plaintiff,and one of them could not:release the defendant without the consent of the other. They cited a great number ol cases in eupportof this view. —Mr. Swaneton and Mr. Hardy opposed the motion, on the ground chiefly that restraints on professional practice or on trade, were against general policy and justice, and that it was on that ground chiefly that Lord Elden refused an in junction in " Capes v. Hutton."—The Lord Chancellor said the court was always reluctant to interfere for a party before he established his legal right. No great injury could result in this case from refusing the injunction: and he would therefore allow the plaintiff to bring his action on the covenant, and retain the bill until verdict, tha defendant to keep an account of the profits of his prudes fa the meantime. Before the Muter of the Rolla. PAGE r. BILOOM.—MOILTGAGE SECURITIEC—This was the petition of Mr. Samuel Page, the plaintiff in this suit. In 1806, Mr. Thomas Willows was seised of the house tailed Saville House in Leicester-square, in which Miss Linwood's exhibition was for so many years, subject to a mortgage for 6001. to Miss Linwood ; and the premises being in a dilapi dated state the plaintiff undertook to do the necessary repairs under an agreement with the parties interested, by which he was to have a security on the premises for his outlay, by way of a lease for 49 years at a nominal rent. Other awangements were subsequently entered into between the parties of a very complicated character, and the original bill in this suit was ultimately filed in 1818; to carry out the agreement between the parties and to obtain for Mr. Page the lease which be was to have. There had been a reference to the master to take certain accounts re lating to Miss Linwood's mortgage, and he made his report in July, 1847, by which he found that Miss Linwood's debt wu paid, and that there was a balance due from ber of 3581. to Mr. Page. This report was disapproved of by Mr. Page, who contended that Miss Linwood was fully paid off in 1832, as between him and bar, and that there was a much larger balance due to him. Another object of the present petition was to have leave to carry in fresh objections and exceptions to the master's report in reference to the allow ance of Interest to Miss Linwood after the period when it was alleged her mortgage debt was paid, and for special directions to the master respecting the matters in question.—The Master of the Molls took time to consider the questions. case is that of the Bishop of Manchester V.

MANSION -HOUSE.--A WATCH.—J. Ryan was charged with having robbedTizaothy Shea of a silver watch at Havre, and pawned it in the city of London. By the account of the prosecutor, the prisoner, who had been his comrade on the Havre railroad until they were abruptly turned off, got up earon Saturday morning from the bed in which they bad both reposed, cooly put the watch in his pocket, and walked off with it end two Bye-(franc pieces.—The Lord' Mayor: How do you know he took it ?—Prosecutor: Know' Why, did'nt I see him take it 7—The Lord Mayor: And why did you not prevent him 7— Pro secutor : Wh y I called after him, but the devil a bit of him minded anything I said. I sup pose he thought himself the strongest man of the two, so away he went sure enough, and I never set eyes on him till he went before the consul for his tieket.— The Lord Mayor.—You accused him then, I suppos ? Posecutor—No. I axed him for my watch. • Your watch ?" says be, " Why I gees it to ' , ether Hughes, the clergy, to take care aft it for you. (Laughter). So I got on board the steamer to come away altogether." The Lord Mayor.--And what did you say to hint on board I—Prose cutor : The Lord knows what I told him ; but I knew he pawned my watch in London. As soon as we landed, he sneaked of and I didn't see him till this morning, when he wee walking near this place, a me nd I t I thought I'd just try to get my property again, and I told the ofhcer to take him, and sure enough he had the ticket in his pocket. The prisoner told a very different tale. He said that Jim Higgins, who worked on the Havre railroad, along with both of them, was the real owner of the watch, that Timothy Shea was the real thief, and that he was himself the honest friend of the plundered •man, engaged in recovering the stolen property. " I'll tell your honour th e whole truth," said Ryan. " Jimmy Higgins and this Tim were work ing together, when we got, orders to quit, and then Tim got hold of poor Jim, who has a wife and two childher, without a farthing among 'int, and made him drunk, and then robbed him of this watch and all the money be had. So when Jim got sober, he told me of the robbery, and off I ran r to get back the goods, if I could, when I saw the poo man's watch before my eyes, in the morn mg, up I got and took it with me, sure enough." —The Lord Mayor : Then you took the watch to Higgins —The Prisoner No, your honour. It wee too far to go to so I what to look for Father Hughes, but I could not find hilm, so as I knew I'd see Jim in London, I thought the Not thing I could do was to come over at once, and take care tithe poor fellow's property. (A lauth.)—The prosecutor : grab, they, don't be talking such nonsense.—The prisoner : Why, in.ou my sowl that smock-frock he has on he pulled off poor Jim, and there he le ft the poor fellow an d his family withi ' dit either watch or money or smock-frock. (Loud laughter.) A pawnbroker proved that the watch had been pledged that morning for 10s. by the prisoner, who, upon being searched, was found to hay_ in his posses sion within twopence of that amount, and the duplicate. — The Lord Mayor: Well, prisoner, you took good care of your friend's property, certainly.—The prisoner: Jim Higgins knew well enough that wherever I was I'd take care of anything of his. All he was bothered about was that this Tim should rob him and his wife and two childher, and lave him naked on the wide world.—The Lord Mayor: But it looks very like an intention on your part to commit a robbery to T p o.—heri•oner : Oh, Lord bless your honour, not I. I pawned the watch for a few hogs, because I had not a halfpenny, and I knew Jim would not like to see me in want of anything and property of his in my pocket (Laugh ter.) —1 he prosecutor : Ab, then, you are a vagabond fellow. — The Lord Mayor (to the prosecutor) Why did you not charge him with the robbery in Calais ? —The prisoner Aye, why did net he do PO, sure enough, your honour, when he knew I was walking ab‘ut with the watch an d the money in my Ikepoc prose cutor : Where was the use in charging him lie would do nothing but deny it, and it would be taking trouble for nothing.—The Lord Mayor: Indeed, I believe that you have neither of you benefited in honesty by your visit to France. I am very much mistaken if I shall not, in a day or two, find a lawful owner fur this watch. Let the pawnbroker have the money which was found upon the prisoner. Let the prisoner be discharged, for what he has done is not made penal in our statute-book; and if the watch be not claimed within a few days the prosecutor shell have it. In the meantime 1 shall take care of it —The prosecutor : Faith. then, I'll be far enough off in a day or two. To the devil I'll pitch the watch if I don't get it now. (Laughter.) WORS I P-STRBET .—M isetneoter ir A Foment ex —Hobert Headley was charged with disorderly conduct, and resii.ting the police in the exi eution rf their dute.—Consta ble Swan stated, that u bile p..ssing through Commercial street, Whitechupel, on Saturday night, his attention was [ attracted to the pri•oocr, who was calling out " Murder." On requesting him to desist, the prisoner immediately alleged that either he or some other pohcenaan had beaten him with his truncheon, and at the same time made a blow at him and knocked his hat off. The prisoner then attempted to escape, but was overtaken by the witness, who, however, gave him the option of going quietly home, which he refused to do, and, - he was therefore compelled to take him into custody.— In answer to the charge, the prisoner declared that he had been wantonly assailed in the hest instance by the policeman, who had afterwards beaten him in au unmerciful manner about the head and body with his truncheon, and knocked him down several times. He pretested that he had given no provocation whatever to justify such ill usage, aad a gen tleman was then in attendance, who had voluntarily Game forward to corn borate his statement.—Mr.S. L. Matthews, of Old Broad-street, stated that he was passing the end of Com mercial-street at the time in question, and raw the police man cross over to the prisoner, who was standing quietly at the corner of the street, and order him in an angry tone to go home. The prisoner answered that he was then doing so, upon which the constable seized him by the collar, and after shaking him, violently kicked him, and he fell heavily on the pavement. The officer then lifted him off the ground by main force, and dashed him repeatedly against the wall, after which he took him a short distance up Commercial street, where he saw the prisoner fall three times in rapid succession to the ground, but witness was at too great a distance to distinguish the caul, of it. Several of the by standers, who had been attracted by the man's cries, re quested the witness to interpose in his behalf, and finding, upon reaching the spot, that the policeman had released the ' prisoner from custody, he told the former that he had grossly exceeded his duty, and advised the man to proceed to his home and apply in the morning for a summons against his ' assailant, which he himself would attend to substantiate. Several other persons having also expressed their strong 41 indignation at the conduct of the officer, he instantly ran towards the prisoner, and, seizing him by the collar, declared with an oath that he would again take him into custody. Witness expressed his intention to accompany him, and re. port his conduct to his superiors at the station-house, upon Ti reaching which the constable told him that he would not It allow him to enter, and closed the door in his face ; but, !,(, after a few minutes, he was admitted by another officer, p, and communicated what had occurred to the acting inspector, A who directed him to attend at this court.—Mr. liammill said 1 ! that the public were much indebted to the lest witness for 3 coming forward in the matter, and that it required no fur ther evidence to convince hint that the policeman had acted with a degree of wanton and unnecessary violence, and had r exceeded his duty to an unwarrantable extent. He should 2 therefore order the prisoner to be at once discharged, and I direct a full report of the proceedings to be laid be fore the . . 2 police commissi. men. hiAltYLEBONE.—Cganoe OP ROBBERY AGAINST A I CORPORAL OP LIFE 131:•108. — Shortly before the dos ing of the court, IV. Jones, a corporal in the Ist Life Guards, was charged with having stolen from the Regent's park Barracks HI. in silver, together with six sovereigns and four half sovereigns. The erteence, which was gone into 1 at considerable lesgth, and the getting together of which has been attended with much trouble, may be thus briefly given : Henry Jones, troop-corporal-major in the regiment alluded to, and whose duty it is to pay the men composing his troop, on Wednesday night, found that a box in his room at the barracks had been forced open as if with a chisel, and the money named abstracted therefrom. Some bank notes were let untouched. The loos being made known to Colonel Hall, the commanding officer, he repaired to the police commissioners, by whom the affair was put into the hands of Inspector Haynes. It turned out upon inquiry that the prisoner had on Thursday, the day after the abstraction of the cash, gone to Windsor, upon leave granted to him for one day, and had paid several bills to tradesmen, and, amongst them, was one to Mr. Peach for 91. 7s. 5d., and 6/. of which was given to him in silver; he had also on the day he was absent settled a bill with Mr. Cobbett, a baker, who hesitated for some time be fore he thought itt to admit that such was the case. The inspector showed that the prisoner had on the day prior to his absence from town purchased a blank key at a shop, and that, in the absence of the workmen employed thereat, he went into a back shop and made use of a tile, The prisoner's answer to the charge was, th t the money paid by him to the tradesmen at Windsor was Cis own, and that being a carpenter by trad, he had done a great deal of work for officers and others at the barracks. The blank key spoken of had been purchased by him for a lock to an officer's room, and it was his intenti-n to have fisted it himself. In accounting for the quantity of silver pail by him to Mr. Peach of s tn of he alleged that it Wad his own money, and said that not many mon th s since he received upwards of 51. in silver front the landlord of the barracks canteen.—Kr. Haynes said he had but little doubt that if time were allowed him he should be in a position to bring forward witnesses whose testimony would be of a very material nature as &abet ting the guilt of the prisoner—He was remanded. MARLBOROUGH -STREET.— Imrostrlon ON THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE AND TliE DI:CHESS OP KENT.—' Thomas Bevy and Thomas Smith, two men well known to the Mendicity Society as persona obtaining a livelihood by means of petitions containing fictitious accounts of calamities, were charged with having fraudulently attempted to obtain 51. from the Duke of Cambridge, and also 5/. from the Duchess of Kent.—Horsford, the Mendicity Society's officer, took Smith in charge on Sunday at the Golden Cross, ha (Smith) n denying his share of the transaction. He them t. ok Bew into custody, and he said he knew he was guilty.— John Connolly said he was in a public-house in Fetter-laae some days ago, when he saw the prisoners come into the house together. The prisoners applied to him to get an answer to a letter, which they said they had left at a gentleman's house the previous day. Witness consented, and went with the prisoners to the park. The prisoners pointed out the re sidence of the Duke of Cambridge; and witness, at the re quest of the prisoner',lpplied for en answer to the letter previously left there. Witness received an answer, and gave it to the prisoners.—Baron Knesebeck, equerry, proved that an attempt had been made to defraud the Duke of Cambridge of 51., by means of a begging petition, pur porting to be on behalf of Jehn Willman, master of the Elisabeth, which was alleged to have been ran down by anotner vessel.—The prisoner, were committed for three months each en this charge. application of capital to the cultivation of the soil; but this mikes I cannot be done so profitably or adequately es a just aye be established by law, so that whil e . the rights of the landlord are fully recogni sed and respected, security may be also afforded to the unfettered employment of capital by "the tenant. 3.

That agricultural labourers should be noommended to train up their daughters with a view to their being occupied in domestic service ; and every endeavour should be made to give them a knowledge of household duties. 7. That boys interded for farming work should, after the age of t en y ears, be engaged in field or manual labour, to endue them with bodily strength and re quisite ingenuity ; and, that merely inlellectual education should, after that period be imparted only at night schools, or in connexion with religious worship on the sabbath. Dk:RBYSIIIRE. DERBY ELECTION,—A very large public meeting was held on Saturday at the Town hall, Derby, at which N. Bass, Esq., of Burton-upon-Trent, and L. Reyworth, Esq., of Liverpool, both addressed theurembled electors,lasd were unanimously requested to come forward as candidates in the liberal interest ; to this they consented, and there is little doubt of their return.—Mr. bl'Orath (who went to Derby with the intention of again offering himself, but who gave way the moment he heard that Mr. Beyworth would come forward) delivered an address, calling upon the chartists to give their support to both candidates, and on all se ctions of reformers to act is perfect good faith. Mr. Freshfield and Mr. Lord (a barrister) are to be the tory kindidates. It is intended to present a ,or d of testimonial, to Mr. Strutt. A correspondent rays some: " The unseating of Mr. Stint has caused very great regret to a large majority of the inhabitants of his native town. Bat that regret is not confined to any one clam or creed, but is generally participated in by men of all parties, with few exceptions. It is well known that irregular practices were committed by Mr. Raikes' friends at the last election ; in deed, the fact that the petitioners did not pray to seat Mr. Baikal is an admission that such was the ease. It may be inferred from the further fact that Mr. Raikes arrived in Derby the other day fully expecting to be made the sitting member, but that his friends:dared not nominate him, on ac countof the certainty of his being unseated upon the evidence of the last election. So that in unseating the nit ting members Mr. Raikee has also most effectually ' bowled himself out.' in this strait the tories were necessitated to throw their line into other waters. But an attempt was first made to effect a compromise. Let it be understood that Mr. Strutt has never' been permitted one uncontested election since the Reform Bill. Now, however, that he has been thrown out, the very men who have promoted these contests say, ' Let us have peace in the borough ; you liberals return one candidate, and let us have the other. This proposition was spurned, end the liberal party determined to combine in order to de feat the tories. A spirit of determination prevail. in every section of reformers, from the whig to the non-conformist aid chartist, to return two liberal members, each section having given way on certain points. in order to accomplish their object." A TAN-FATER.—The general increase of vagrancy throughout the country, and the consequent augmentation of expenditure under the head " Tramp Cases," having re cently occupied the attention of the public, the following fact (says the Notts Journal) will explain a chief cause of this increase, and why so many prefer this mode of obtaining a livelihood to that of honest industry : Ose afternoon very recently, an Irishwoman, with several children, applied to the parish officer of a village near Derby for relief, and with considerable eloquence and pathos urged her case upon his consideration, stating amongst other things that the ex pected to be confined every hour. Finding, however, that she was not likely to succeed by this method, ehe re sorted to threats, and positively declared her determi• nation not to cross the boundary of the parish (which she appeared to have previously ascertained) until her de mands were compued with. The officer for some time braved both her "blarney" and her threats, but seeing no other way of getting rid of her, and fearing more serious con' sequences, he at length gave her two shallop, with which she made her departure. On her arrival at the next village, a distance of a mile, s he waited upon the officer of that place and having used the same arguments as formerly, obtained soother shilling. She then proceeded to another village, three miles further, and immediately applied for assistance there, and as the case appeared an urgent one, food, tic.. to the amount of three shillings and sixpence was promptly pro vided. On the following morning, much to the satisfaction of the worthy overseer, she made her exit, having obtained considerably more money in a few hours than many a stoeking-maker, who has a large family:apes ling up.n him, can tarn in a whole week. It the overset rs in this case had given relief in kind instead of money a great portion of the evil would have been prevented. annv 1111110ADiumautam COMMISSIONS DT THZ LOAD LEITUTETTANT.—The Hon.

SALE or THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM'S PICTURES. —The full-length portrait of the Hon. George Grenville, by Sir Joshua Reynolds, sold for eighty-three gutneu ; and The Destruction of Pompeii," by John Martin, for one PIIILUARMONIC SOCIETY.—The second Philhar monic Concert tusk place last evening. It was an excellent conce-t, though composed of well-known materials, or rather it was all the better on that account, for it is always found that any novelties in the way of orchestral composition are very unsatisfactory substitutes for the masterpieces of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. We do not say that the directors ought not to make every exertion to obtain new orchestral works of merit, if such are to be found. We believe, in deed, that they do so; but the tact certainly is, that a new symphony is never produced without giving occasion to much grumbling and fault-finding among the subscribers at the loss of time which might have been spent in hearing one of their favourite works of the great masters. The symphonies of last evening were the " Jupiter " of Mozart and Beethoven's No. 4 in B flat. The overtures were Mendelssohn's " Isles of Fingal," and Rossini's " Siege of Corinth." Herr Molique performed one of his own violin concertos ; Madame Persians sang the airs " Silva opaca," from " 00001M0 Tell," and "Dove sono," from " Le Nome di Figaro." Miss Dolby sang "Al desio," one of the " Appendix " airs in the same opera ; and the two ladies sang the soprano and contralto duet " Quis set homo," from Rossini 's " Stabat Mater." Of tie symphonies it is suffi cient to say that they were splendidly performed, and listened to with the usual demonstrations of delight. Men delssohn's overture, which terminated the first part of the concert, was played with very greet vigour, and is certainly a powerful comrosition ; but we cannot regard it as one of the lamented author's happiest efforts. Like most attempts at musical description, it tails in its object, for we would defy anybody, hearing it without being informed of the composer's design, to form the slightest idea of what he inthided to paint. Molique's concerto was beautifully played. His tone is deliciously clear and silvery, his execution the very perfection of refinement and delicacy, and his style exquisitely pure and graceful. A little more force and sigour—a little more impulse and ardour—might be desired ; but no artist possesses every quality, and few artists are more largely gifted with high qualities than M. Molique. The andante of his concerto was especially delightful ; its effect Will that of a fine Italian air, sung on the instrument with the utmost expression, and enriched with vocal fioriture of the most elegant kind. The two fair vocalists acquitted themselves with their usual excellence. The feeling which pervaded the room throughout the evening seemed to be un mingled satisfaction. lEbt Btama. HATMARRES. — A comic drama, in two acts, en titled " Lasater, the Physiognomist, and a Good Judge Too," was produced last night at this theatre. It is ano ther version of a French piece, an adaptation of which is playing at the Lyceum. It will doubtless be remembered that the leading idea is the novel agency supplied by the physiognomical science of Lasater, in working out a plot which is otherwise by no means novel to the stage; namely, the detection by . the philosopher of a dis guised swindler, and the vindication by the same means of an innocent accused. Mr. Webster supported the part of Gamier in a manner which entitles him to a high degree of commendation. His acting, quaint and careful es usual, had just as much colouring as was necessary to the part, and earcely once became forced or unnatural. The other characters were supported also in a manner which was more than satisfactory. Mr. Howe evinced the requisite amount of coolness and self-possession in the Marquis Ri carols and Mr. Tilbury was appropriately bombastic as the burgomaster ruffendorff. The part of Kalsencraft gate scope for the broad comic talents of Mr. J. Bland, while that of Theodore left no opportunity for exer tion on the part of Mr. H. Vandenhoff, who may therefore be excused for doing nothing. The same may be said of Mrs. L. S. Buckingham, who played the burgomuter's wife; and to Miss Fortescue must be awarded the merit of making the most of the mediocre part allotted to her. Although thus deficient in interesting cha racters, the piece, taken as a whole, is dramatically effective. It was received with applause throughout, which was reite rated on its announcement for repetition. FRENCH PLATB.--ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—Yeater day evening Mademoiselle Nathalie appeared in three pieces, in " Ce que Femme Vent," in " Un Caprice," and in a monologue entitled Blondette," a narrative . partly sang and partly spoken by a young peasant, of a blighted attach ment. Mademoiselle :lethale looked the character capitally, and gave the little tale of love with charming effect. We are sorry to re it announced that Mademoiselle Nathalie is to appear but twice mote, but we hope to dad her engage ment renewed, aid we ehould be glad further, to bear of setae engagements )Ming nade beyond them now intimated. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND ClRCUFT.—Wraswica, MAROB 25. The commission for this division of the county w as opened at late hour this evening, and business will be proceeded with on Monday.

THAMBB.—lncon ['LETS INDINTT:IIP.I.—AH•RD CAIIII. —Mr. Mare (Ditchburn and Mare, Blackwell, engineers) was summoned to show cause why he refused to provide em ployment for a lad nam ed Dowling, alleged to be one of his apprentices. There were three or four other similar sum. menses, and the result must affect a great number of young persons in the same employment. Mr. Mare was repre sented by one of his clerk.. He produced the indenture, which, though signed by the boy, was not signed by Mr. Mare, and consequently was not binding oa him. The clerk explained that several bays had been taken on without Mr. Mare's sanction, by a person named Rockland and another clerk, who had been in their employment. In these instances a small premium of 31. lOs. was paid and the imperfected indentures were found in Buck land's dells after he had left. The complainant had been employed on the establishment two years and a half, and was paid regularly at the pay office. Mr. Mare was present when the indenture, such as it was, wee made—Mr. Yard ley, the magistrate, remarked that the document wee all that time in Mr. Mare's possession, or, what is the same thing, in the posetesion of his agents. The boy drew his wages week aRm r week, and now, when it perhaps suits a purpose, he is turned adrift. Though Mr. Mare is not legally bound, his moral responsibility cannot be doubted.—Clerk: He has been viewed not in the light of an apprentice, but se other boys engaged in the establishment —Mr. Yardley: He has not been properly treated. But that it would appear farci cal, I would say the lad would procure full redress by an ap peal to the Court of Chancery. As my opinion has been asked, I am compelled to say the indenture is not a legal do cument. I shall, therefore, have to discharge the summons, but will remand the CYO until Wednesday. MONEY MARKET. MONDAY EVENING. The Consols market was heavy in the morning, as might be expected from the comparative failure of , money orders for purchase coining in. But the prices ruled, notwithstanding, at the slight depreciation of only 83 to ; at the lowest, leaving off better at 831 to a higher. The operations were of inconsiderable consequence, the result, as may be supposed, of the more quiescent nature of the political reports from abroad. Exchequer Bills were 295. to 345. premium. Portuguese stock rose to-day, upon what data does not appear, except that the value rela tively was too low, or that speculators inte rested in some particular scheme found it neces,ary to make a demonstration in that sense. If the object were simply to attract the public into a speculation of account for the benefit of parties who mean to get out upon the rise, the speculators, whether barons or otherwise, may chance to find themselves in the wrong, at least it may be hoped the public will n ot be. More may be said, however, on the subjtct of the supposed baronial speculation hereafter. There can be no reasonable objection to any man, or body of men, buying up Portuguese insolvent bonds if they please, but the government at least is bound, as also the contractors of the loans, to state in all frank ness the grounds on which they proceed. Spanish Fives were 12 to ; ; the Threes, 22 tot ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half p er Cents., 41 to 3; the Fours , 61 to 3, as before. Brazilian Bonds, 68 to 72. Mexi. can, 141 to 151, with some active operations. The foreign market otherwise was in an inactive state. The participation in the loan to the United States, to the extent of four millions of dollars, by the Messrs. Rothschild, say nearly one million sterling, and the decree of the French government, authorising all the French Joint Stock Banks to issue an incon vertible currency, have been the events of the day. At an early opportunity the probable effects of such a measure will be examined, now but vaguely esti mated in commercial quarters. The intelligence by the Britannia steamer from the United States, that four millions of the five million dollars loan had been taken by the Messrs. Rothe ' child, not knowing then of the French revolution, is only considered to have added, unfortunately, to the incumbrances of that house, at a time when, powerful as It is, such a new engagement, in view of present circumstances, can scarcely fail to be otherwise than inconvenient.
