Then let us been and take a tea at the ambassador if we are sincere, mid don't let them " take a pull at the EitcUques" (ae en excellent friend of seise said the other day is the House of Commons) any more.

(Oreat Wachter and cheers.) There is another *ohne: to which I must refer—the HMO Guards and the Ordnance. You often hear of half-pay butuants who have been in ail climes Zrarg " half-irerown nut of bd. a day," being cut off the od the Prime Minister saying, See what I have done ; I have disbanded those men ; I have taken off some of the dead weight '• " bat at the same time shutting their eyes to the tact that we have two most slangy, departments in this country —the Horse Guards end the Ordeanee—c_ in redact ing the NOS linden, at the aces of 194,0001. • year.

A very l ever writer says, ta review ing the whole system of the Briar constitution, it occurs to him that war is made to raise taxes, and not taus raised to carry ea war. (Cheers.) Then you ate told, "Oh, but you've got es lapin (and this is one of the constitutional claptrap of the House of Commons, which beg taken the place of the far-lamed British bon) on which the an never sets." I have often wondered what that was to any work ing man, to the menfacturer, or the farmer. What is the meaning of it t Depend upon it they all end in the same thing —taxation. It is clear to me that you may go on botheriog for financial reform for ever and orgaain yourselves and reconstitute the House of Commons how is this to be done ? It is very true, in the torougle you have net got a chance, because to vote for a borough member is MO mast have a hue worth 101. a year; mut reside within 7 miles of the borough, must pay certain rata and taxes; but there is another way, and I mak hellos% in which it can be done in the aunties. Ail I said ray I am astoaished, that When the Rehm Bill gaud the iii garchy of the day left the 40e. kaariMue unleneased. Bat if I am astonished at the, I am still amen ansaishoi that it has been made so little use of by the people-end deg while you have agitators, some precisions', others non-; they have not put their finger on the My point r tta d = be made use of, and rescue that 40s. freehold franchise foes the dust, where it had been 13 iag for centuri s. When that 40e. franchise was graat‘d, I suppose money was much more voluble than now, but the law is still the same, and any number of men aspiring freeholds w orth 40s. a year, are entitled to vote for the county. I hope some of you will get these freeholds, sad I hope, when you do, you will give au the benefit of your v.tes. (Cheers, and "We will.") Well, perhaps you are sot aware that while you are letting this power slum ber, and are making • great fuss about the Chaados clear, there is In the savings banks of this country upwards of 20,000,0001. of nosey. Why shruld not some of that 20,000,0001. he invested in the purchase of 40a. freeholds? . Why the working men may Glob together • and if teens of any field or tenement they broom pousied a is of th value of MOM than 40s. a to each of them, they are sassily @attend to be in th• register wit h the oldest and the largest freeholder. (The km, gentleman was loudly cheered ea mummer his seat.) Mr. CLARKE mid this resolution plopped to units all claims of reformers, and they would permit him to my that if there were any clam of reformers interested in sash • re- Wake it was that to which he belonged—the obartisia. (Cheers.) He taw armed him many gentlemen of static* mach more elevated than his own who had long thought that the chartists were opposed to the real advance and true pro gress of reform. He trusted that those gentlemen whom be now addressed would believe that that was not their object. (Chun.) It appeared from the programme which had been read that one ;Nat Ulu of the association was the drstrue- It- • et elisa -41 .4 upon them, tf they were sincere is the expression of that desire ' to put an end to the property qualification. In Scotland there was no property qualification ; yet tha. country was as respectably represented as England herself, and if Boutin, won Rt to go to Paris in the room a the Marquis of man y , Huggins was fit to go to parliament to represent their views. (Hear, hear.) He could assure the meeting that to persons were more anxious fur • hearty anion cf the working and middle classes than that who had been stigma• toed as chartists. Mr. STUROE —A" a reformer who had arrived at a time of life when he had thought he might fairly retire from poli tical life, he might be excused or having, until two or three boars ago, knows tothiou of this meeting ; but being then informed of what see about to take place, he thought he should do well to come forward to speak a few words on behalf of his working Mr nde—(cheers)—and to give them also a kind word of advice. Ten years ego the demand for ' popular reform was associated with every Idiom, and the ' name of chartist was understood as meaning an advocate of physical force. But they had seen since, that those who con demned chaniem on that ground, hod since resorted to phy sical force to put down pubic opinion. He had jired the chartist—because being bruit • member ef a peace society, and one who would not therefore commit himself with any movement with which physical force wee under any circumstances to form a part—it would show that the charter and physical force were not the same thing. It would be as re tumble to condemn Christianity, because of the church establishment—(bar, hear)—or because of the horrors of the inquisition, as to condemn thus principles which asserted arid advocated the right of every man to the possession of the franchise, be cause some of thou who proleced those principles were favourable to physical force as the means of carrying them cat. (Hear, hear.) He hoped this amendment, which was • mere verbal oat, would not be peered, to break that unani mity which on such an occasion was so desirable. (Hear.) It was strange that the governing powers did not read the signs of the times. (Hear.) They might depend upon it that the people of England would not long rentals without their rights while they raw what was going on in other countries—thear, Mary—but let the governing powers only in to the people justice, and they need not tear od orant suffrage. (Cheers.) Mr. PHILLIMORE sail he considered that if they &and to put forward a sort of cant phrase to en able men to deceive the people, and members of par liameat to deceive their rani , units, that object would be oersted by laying down the doctrine, " not men but mea sures." It was the mutual confidence of men working to gether for one common object that alone insured that united exertion which was essential to soma. (Hear, hear.) The plan now proposed would give the franchise to 3,712,676 of the people. That was taking it on the census of 1841, but looking at the increase in the population since that tone it might be reasonably concluded th 4 • much larger number would be admitted if the plan succeeded. And if then were those who would coronet* in that object would it be matinees to reject their assistance because they would not go for further objects, in which, under present circumstance, they might nit think it right to concur ? (Hear, hear.) The principle of universal suffrage was undeniable, but whether It was practicable or eves advantageous, under the circum stances as they now existed, was the que stion. The reeolution, as amended, was then put and carried un animously, amidst much cheering. Mr. WILLIAMS (late M.P. for Coventry) moved— . That, is the opinion of this meeting, the expenditure of the seas is characterised by an extravagance the most re prehensible; that to sustain this reckless waste an enormous amount of taxation is required, which, as now levied, presses sat unequally open the dinerent sections of the commu nity ; that so large • proportion of the taxes is imposed upon the necessaries of life, that no economy or self-denial on the part of the poor man can enable him to escape hose those her tens ; that the effects of each • ernes are not may creel, arbitrary, end pernicious towards the isdostrions elute, but are calculated to produce that wide spread de menalisation and those !levant crimes which are the off spring of poverty and diaries ; u d that, therefore, the whole framework of taxation should be so attend as to ad. just its burdens to the respective means of those who are to beer them." Forcibly dr striptive as this resolution was, it conveyed but a feeble idea of the gnat afdietions which were created by this system of rearm aad enemies expenditure. The whole system of tuition was framed so as throw the great proportion of the harden on the industrious and productive clams. The taxation of last year was 67,000.00 01 . e to which were to he added 23,000,0001. for locoing', staking together 80,000,0001. st Are, taken mainly from the labour and in dustry of En.land.

(Chime ) Kew let them look to the mode in which this eiaisiNme meant of taxation was levied—the manner is whit& Ihp pest weight of the burden was thrown on the Wilk ash washing closes.

(Hear.) What were the ommeguseme ap this system ? Trade was falling, and a social des was foiag as aimed them whose lalmir and skill prodhemi all the luxuries these taxers enjoyed. (Hear, hear.) The condition of the middle classes was deteriorating, and the working classes were deteriorating also. (Hear.) Last year, 3,500,000 received relief in tee United Kingdom, sad in England and Wales 100,000 were lent to primes for crimes of various degrees. What chance they hal of ob taining Worm frees the present House of Commune, mien under the pressure of such a society as this, might be gathered from the fact that only 84 members could be get to vote for Mr. Cobden's mottos for the gradual reehaseft of our expenditure, until it was brought down to the of 1835 ; and only 40 for Mr. Hums's proposition r red, in a very Beall degree, our standing army.

(Loud 17 ;r uF ei l They wanted no more than that, and with less they not be content. (Loud cheers ) Mr. SAMUEL MORLEY said, as one belonging to the middle clue's, he was glad in having an opportunity of identifying himself with that movement, which he believed had much to do with the happiness of a g mass of the working people. (Cheers.) He felt glad that he had an opportunity of giving his most hearty adhesion to this movement, and endeavouring to prevail upon every one to give their support to it. (Cheers.) He believed that if the association pursued its course with rigour and energy all the electors for the counties of England would be secured to it, and afford them great aid in carrying out their great object. The speaker concluded by alluding to the Metropolitan Home and Coun.its Freehold Land Society, established in con melon with this associatioo, under the presidency of Sir Joshua Waltneley, and Galled upon every reformer, what ever his means might be, to avail himself of the gre at advan tages which it offered, (Cheers.) Dr. LONOSTAFF sald,it was of importance to everybody that all axes should be laid fair and above board,!so that every one should knew at ones what it was he was paying. Let him give them an example of the way in which tie customs operated. He went a short time since to purchase a ease of tea, and he was told that it was le 4d. per lb. That he thought was not dear; arid he was not surprised, be cause he was acquainted with the feet when he was afterwards celled upon for 21. 2d. duty and 5 per cent. But he put it to the meeting whether, after going to purchase their tea and paying their shilling a pound, they were stopped on their way out, and 2s. 2d. duty and 5 per cent. were demanded fur the " exigencies of the state, ' such a monstrous imposition w - told be submitted to for • day? (Cheers.) So much for the customs. Precisely the same thin; occurred with Nerd to the excise, enhancing the price of articles and intorceruag with the operZtra of mean fecares, and it was high time that tho. system was changed How was that change to be brought about ? Why, in this simple manner, by securiog • change in the parliamentary representation, and he had therefore great pleasure in sup porting this association. (Hear, hear.) Mr. L. BEYWORTH, M.P. member of the Liverpool National Confederation for Di rect Taxation, supported the revelation. He said it was very strange, alter all the expo. rience this country had had in the management of its final system, that there never was more ignonnee displayed * soy nation in raising the revenue of the country, for it took money for the government in such a way as must impoverish item person in the conantry. He did not say that our legit laws had adopted that system on purpose, for he believed that they had done it accidentally, They began by imp /slog , the customs duty upon a few a rt, and found the money raised so easily, that they persevered in the same course, and now no less than 36.000,0001. annually was collected from the people in that fashion (Shame.) At present that sum was extracted from tho pockets of the poor man, and, of course, he was therefore obliged to con sume less of the irides of consumption, so reducing the productive powers of the country. By the system of direct taxation every man would be taxed, and taxed in such a way that no one could deny it. Every one then would be entitled to a voice in parliament, or those who interfered to prevent them and yet Appropriated their money, would fairly be called "thieves" on the principle that a pence was a thief who, without your consent, robbed you of your money. (Cheers.) In conclusion, he would say, that if there were an universal expression of opinion among the men of England for universal suffrage, it must in evitably be conceded to them. Let them put theirshoulders to the wheel; let them think of these Wogs maturely, and he was sure that they would work out effectually their own salvation. (Cheers ) The resolution wee then put and carried unanimously, with great cheering. Mr. D. W. WIRE proposed the third and last resolu tion : " That in the opinion of this meeting the Commons' Hoare of Parliament, as at present constitu.eil, represents neither the population, the property, tor the industry of the country ; that the election of its members has in numerous Muteness been the result of bribery and corruption, coercion and intimidation ; that the electoral distributions present the monstrous ampaaly of • few hoadred voters in tome districts returning as many members as funeral thousand constituents in other districts; that the Reform Act has totally failed to realms the expectations of the country or to harmonise with the spirit of the age; and that therefore a large extension of the franchise, • complete independence in its exercise by means of the ballot, a more equal apportionment of repre sentatives to population, and the limitation of parliament to three years, become not only measures of oommoa justice, but also of prudence and safety." (Great cheering interspersed generally throughout the re solution.) That cheer, he thought, would do instead of a speech. (Cries of " No, no.") The resolution recom mended itself. It asserted • fact, it deduced a conesquence, and it pointed to a remedy. (Cheers.) Lit them reform their parliament—(cheers)—ellend their saber, equalise their electoral districts, and they would atoll get financial reform. (Cheers.) He was glad to see that the people were now beginning to be alive to the fact that direct taxation was better than indirect taxation. Mr. REYNOLDS next depressed the meeting. He maintained that every individual who performed the de fies and bare the burdens of a citizen had a right to be represeated in the House of Commons. It seas said that property was the real qualification; and the aris tecracy—and there was no more despicable aristocracy than that which they hid in England, half of them having obtained their landed poosesaions by spoliation, being de scended from the Normans, and the other half by the prostitution of their ancestors in the time of Charles ll. said that no man ought to have a ewe unless he ha 1 a ,take in the country. Nnw he theught that ala man who bad • salary of 13s. or 14s. • week had ir t : ° = stake in the country as the Duke of Sutherland, mho had an income of 200,0001. or 300,0001 • year ; breams if the Duke of Sutherland beams di-satistied with the country he could go and live abroad, but it was not so with the mechanic and labourer: he was chained to the spot. Therefore he had the greatest stake in the country. Every. thing proved the venality which existed in the governing powers. Upwards of a million and a half had been spent at the last general 'levies, and amongst those who einculated in boroughs were some of the most clever and cautious capi talists in England. Why was this? Because they knew that the money so invested was returned cent. per cent. in the provision which this political power enabled to make for sone and other dependents. Another person in the body of the meeting strayed to 'peek to the revolution, but The CHAIRMAN stated that the arrangements the had en'ered into with the proprietors of the room, th compelled them to ekes the meeting at five o'clock, which hour had now arrived. He regretted that the gentleman who had last &t -rimmed them should have used the word " infamous " in re ference to the aristocracy. (Hoer, hear.) For himself, he would be no party in applying the term " infamous" either to the productive, the middle, or the upper classes. (Hear.) The motion was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. PROUT then moved • veto of thanks to the president, Sir J. Walamlsy, for his impartial madam ia the chair, and, THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 23, 1849. in dots( Si, *apnoea ate happiness at seek.' such a meeting I hrought together per sad n a Odic , in that metropolis—an object he had sdooseeed letfbrf hrty e year , and which he hoped would beim long be The min was earde=nanik cheerio,, and was ae knowhisoll Is suitable tame by Sir J. Wahneley, who called ea an prams present to unite is the movement, and to sorppert the Freehold Lead Association as the sIOSES of plating ate easelles in the hands of the popular party. The waft then separated. DUTY ON ADVERTISEMENTS AND PAPER Last evening a general meeting of muster printers, ' etwaposltors, pressmen, and machinists, was held at the Mockenies' Institulion, Southampton-buildings, Chancery lane, in pursuance of a requisition issued by the committee of the Colapolitore' Society, for the purpose of considering the propriety a petitionhig parliament to repeal the duties on advertisements and paper, Si also the penny stomp on news ; L. 3. Hassaan, Esq., in the char. Th e opened the proceedings with an address • eme dg em i t ie lesgth, in which he contended that the amount of revenue derived by government from the tan a newspapers and advertisements, by no means compensated for the deprivation of the mean of intellectual culture which it entailed on the wailing clause, by en hancing the price of books, periodicals, the., and conse quently contracting their eels, while it afforded no advantage in respect of elevating the intellectual standard or the morel tone of the pas. He alio showed that the impost wee espe cially in jar to compagtess sad pressmen, by the ten dency which it exerted to prevent any increase in the num ber of newspapers and periodicals published. Mr. EDWARD. moved the first resoltrios, which embodied the opinion of the meeting that the thus on paper and ad vertisements, u alro the stamp duty on neespopers printed for local circulation, forcibly impeded the industrial opera tions of the printing trade, and were otherwise pernicious to the well-being of the community ' inasmuch BS they °D eputed the mental advancement of the people, and by Impro- perly raising the priers of books, publications, and se orepapen, prevented the majority from obtaining the practical know ledge and information so immediately essential to the happi ness and conducive to the general prosperity of society. He said that the printing business had suffered for many yews fray the sap= field of lebour and the =Gerd= suatese.of labourers, and the consequence was that during that period large numbers of men both able and willing to work were continually out of employment and hanging a dead weight on those who succeeded in obtaining a field for the cur ass of their trade. He showed that much of the evil was traceable to the inflate= of the tax on newspapers, and on paper, and referred to the enormous diffusion of peri odical literature and newspapers in the United States, as In dicative of the state of affairs which would be produced in this country by . a r‘peal of these taxes. In Paris, with a population not amounting to more than half that of London, 35 dolly papers were published, and it was perfectly demonstrable that the compara tively greater number of newspapers and publications ' in them coentries was called in'o ensconce in consequence of the absence of the dunes which they had assembled to pee. , tition against. If thew duties were taken off, the size of newspapers would be enlarged, or types of a smaller sire be used, Ond in either case persoas connected with • the printing Pade es compositors would be benefited. The resolution was sthonded by Mr. Basra, supported by Mr. J. DUNCAN and carried unanimously. A petition to Parliament in which the principal objections r to these imposts were briefly and clearly stated having been adopted, the proceedings terminated. IRELAND. Demme, MAT 22. A feeling of intense indignation prevailed here universally at the intelligence of an Irishman firing at her Majesty, who is more beloved and respected iu Ireland than any of her royal predecessors. The Press of last night, after expressing the general feel ings of the public towards the Queen, utters the " hope that her Majes'y will not suffer the villany of an individual mi creext to stand between her and a personal knoslelge of the millions of her Irish sub jects." It is the tirst time that an Irishman has ever attempted to harm the person of an English monarch. At the instance of the Lord Mayor a special meet ing of the town council is to be summoned for the purpose of addressing her Majesty. The Whitworth Hospital has, owing t r the kind interposition of Lord Clarendon, been again opened. It had been dos dby order of the poor-law com miesioners. Seventeen gentlemen are to be called to the bsr this term—a number unusually large. MUSIC. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. "La Sonrambula" wee given last night at this theatre, with Mad +me Persiani in the character of Amino, and Mr. Sims Reeves in that of Eleino. Madame Persiani's Performance was calculated to in crease the regret of the public that they are so gam to lose this charming actress and singer; though she is certainly acting wisely in retiring from the stir before her powers have undergone any materiel deterioration. Last evening she occasionally be trayed a want of that certainty of intonation fur which sbe was so distinguished, and some times strained her voice in producing high notes which formerly cost her no exertion. But these defects were chiefly perceptible in the early part of the evening, and almost disappeired as she warmed in the course of the performance. In the highest at tributes of a singer she was as great as er. r, and showed that she has no superior in the qualities of a consummate artist. In one important particular she hes no equal, except, perhaps, Madame Viardot Garcia —the perfection to which she has carried the art of vocal embellishment ; an art which demands net only great richness of fancy and the utmost refinement of taste, but a depth and accu racy of musical knowledge which few, even of the most accomplished singers, are able to attain. Madame Persianesfitoriture are not only incompara bly brilliant, and of inexhaustible variety, but they are in the most exquieite keeping, not only with the technical structure of the melody with which they are interwoven, but also with its character and expres sioe. By means of a simple but original turn as deepens the melancholy of a plaintive air; and a rapid flight or roulade gives new force and intensity to joyful or passionate expression. This beautiful faculty was never more strikingly exhibited, nor with greater effect, than last night, in the strain of hopeless despondency unconsciously breathed by the sleeping girl, and in her rapturous accents when, waking, she finds herself restored to love and happiness. These fine passages were re ceived by the audience with the most vehement marks of enthusiasm ; and this delightful vocalist perhaps never enjoyed a treater triumph. Her delineation of the character, though not highly coloured, was (what it has always been), simple, intelligent, and affecting, Oar countryman, Mr. Reeves, also obtained a triumph, by which he has gained a place second to no one upon our Italian stage. The warmth with which he was welcomed by a crowded audience seemed at first to increase hie natural agi tation, and to affect his voice, but he soon regained his self-pot/lesion. The whole opera was admirably performed. Tam burini was the Count Rodolfo, and Mdlle. Corbari was the best Liao we have ever seen. REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH WARWICKSw..._ A correspondent, writing under date " Birminghens Tues day," mays : " Lord Guernsey, the eldest SW of Ur Earl of Aylesford, is at present the only candidate In the field kr the vacant seat caused by Mr. Shirley's 110111011111110 of the Chiltern Hundreds.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND.— Yesterday the half yearly general assembly of the governors and menhirs of this society was held at their rooms, 12, H an square . The Earl of Chichester was in the chair, supported by the Earl of Yarborough, Earl Thiele, the Mar quis of Downahire, and several other noblemen and gentle men. Mr. Hudsoo, the secretary, then read the report of the council. It stated that the society now comprised 89 life governors, 178 annual governors, 582 life members, 4,643 anneal members, and 20 honorary members.

It had been de cided that the ensuing country meeting of the society, at the city of Norwich, should be held in the week commencing Monday, 16th July. The council had received from the prin cipal railway companies in the kingdom a grant of the same liberal concessions in favour of the society's exhibition as was Rade by last year, namely, the the conveyance of live stook, a nds Manion of one half the usual rates of charge for implements on proceeding to the show. They had the satisfaction of receiving frees their journal com mittee the most favourable report of the number and value of the meals competing for the society's prises of the }repent year.—Col. Challoaer then read the report of the besace committee. The total income of the society from all sources was set dome at 6,8311., and the expenditure of the year at a sun ler by 593 i.

Having, in our preliminary notice on Monday, referred to the various details in connexton with the arrangements for the week, it will be sufficient to state here that, io far u the mi sting has peeeeeded, they have been efficiently carried out. • We wish it was in our power to add that the meeting commenced under favourable circumstances ; the reverse was the ease, the heavy and continuous rain in the morning having induced hundreds who would otherwise have been present to reserve themselves for the " great " day. The weather cleared up about noon, and was fine for three or four hours; but the mischief was done, and the company, both in number and rank, was the thinnest we ever saw on the first day of a summer meeting on Bpsom Downs. The sport left nothing to com plain of se to quantity—the Craven Stakes, it is tree, from the knowledge that Cointawood and Bla ck Eagle would " enter the lists," was the purest we have seen for many yeses; but all the selling stakes and plates produced espitil entzies. ensuing, with •the aid of heats, an abundance of rasing each day.. The Craven Slakes, s hed as WM the - entry, and deprived of much of Its interest by the non-appearance f Collmewood, produced a very exciting contest between Black Eagle and Swordplayer, the final struggle being so close that the Judge pronounced it a dead heat. The Woodoote, although many of the hones were dark, did not lead to any exteneive speculation k it was won in a canter by a smart filly of Mr. Oratwuke's, a stable com panion of the Duke of Richmond's Officious, the winner of the two-year-old shims at Northampton, Bath, and Epsom Spring Meeting. The match was interesting only to the owners, and the heats, most of which were run in a heavy fall of rain, may he left to speak for themselves. No an necessary delay took place in running them off, and the list was got through shortly before coven o'clock. --- - - - CAA TIN STAKES of 10 son each, for Syr olds, 611 81b; four, fkit 101 b. ; five, fist 41b ; six and aged, gat 101 h.

The Solicitor-General asked that these cases might not be in the paper before Monday. Mr. Russell said he wise not instructed, but it was proba ble that he would have to appear, as he had hitherto done, on behalf of the defendant, and he had no objection to the pos•ponement. The Viee-Chancellor said there was no probability of the muses being in the raper before Monday, and that probably the most convenient course would be to fin them for Friday week, after the petitions. It was arranged that this course should betaken. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—YESTERDAY. srenses rst 6AnCO. Yesterday having been the first day of Trinity Term, Sir F.

GOLNET AND O THZRL — COVNTT COUNI6. CIIIITIOILARL In this ass a plaint bai been levied in the Wiltshire County Court. The plaintiff notified that he would require a jury, and summonses having been issued for a jury, the defendant obtained from a judge at chambers a writ of cer tiorari, in order to have the case tried in one of the superior courts, on the ground that the plaintiff was a banker of great influence in the neighbiortiood in which the cue was to hays been tried, and that the jury summoned were all favourable to him, and some of them had declared they would find a verdict fer him if they had an opportunity. Mr. Hodges now moved, oa sflidavits, for a rule to show cause why the certiorari should not be set aside. Amongst the guarani raised was whether the County Courts Act 9 and 10 Vie., c. 95, repealed, the 19 Geo. 111., c. 70, and 7 and S Oeo. IV., c. 71, which were general is their terms, requiring a defendant when he removed a cue by certiorari from an inferior court, to find two sureties for the payment of the debt and cats; and the 96th section of the County Courts Act provided that no plaint should be removed unless the chbt claimed should exceed 61., and " then only by leave of a judge of one of the superior oourts, and. upon such terms as to the payment ot costs, or giving security, &c., as to the learned judge should seem fit." A rule Nisi was granted. The Court then too k the peremptory paper, but no cue of interest was disposed of. POLlCE.—YErnsupey. WORSHIP STREET. CHARON or ASSAULT ox • POLICEMAN.—REJECTION OF POLICE EVIDENCE —G. Rudd was charged with diem.- derly con d u ct and w nutting police-constable Gough, H 68, in the execution of his duty. The constable stated that, while on duty the preceding night near Mery-streer, Whitechapel, he observed the pn saner standing in conversation with a young woman in front of one of the houses, and ordered them both to move on. He succeeded, with some difficulty, in inducing them to leave; but a short time after, whilst he was endeavouring to revive another woman, who had fallen asleep on a doorstep, the defendant returned and made some observations upon his %restrain of the woman, at the same time asking him if he had a mother of his own. The prisoner then wailed him with very offensive epithets, and ultimately struck him in the fees, upon which he took him into custody. On being called upon tor his defence, the prisoner earnestly denied the charge, and said that he was paying his addresses to the spectable young woman, wit= he was conducting home at the time in question, when they were compelled to stand op under a doorway to take shelter from the rain, but had scarcely been there a minute when the policeman came up and ordered them away, at the same time casting a gross imputation upon the character of the young woman, and telling him the prisoner) that he knew him well as au utterer of bees coin and a common thief. Not liking to in volve the young woman in trouble, he hastened on with her, and after leaving her at her mother's door, was proceeding back to his own lodging, when he saw the same constable pushing an elderly woman with such unnecessary violence, that he could not help expostulating with him, and inquiring whether he had a mother of hie own. The Instant he had uttered the words the complainant aimed a blow at him with his truncheon, and knocked him down in the road; after which he conveyed him to the station-house, and preferred the present charge spinet him. The constable was recalled, and he persisted in his version of the stair. Mr. Arnold directed the warrant-officer to proceed to the residence of the young woman, and, without entering into any explanation of the circumstances, to bring h. r at once to the court; and also rcquest the attendance of the inspector on duty at the station when the charge was taken. The officer shortly after returned with a respectable-looking rir Oa Z woman, m Georgina Radcliffe, who entirely eoli ths priioaer's statement, and deposed that the police man had not only called him a thief, but had applied an insulting observation to hermit, importing that she was a person of abandoned character. Inspector Forbes, who re ceived the charge, proved that the prisoner, upon reaching the statien-house, made a complaint of the violent conduct of the constable. Yr Arnold said, that as the prisoner's statement upon those plaints which had been positively contradicted by the officer bad been established by the evidence of a witness who could have bad no possible means of vromunicating with the accused In the interim , and had also been partially borne out by Inspector Forbes, he felt bound to state that he wee unable to g ye credence to the remainder of the con stable's testimony ; and he should therefore <Wain the charge ; and he considered it a lit case to be sported to the Prose the LONDON GAZETTE.— Tuesday, May 22. lawn Crtvrawatt BitowiTiltTeine,fisniereetabire. draper, to sur render June 3 & 27 at 11, et Exeter Ct.
