THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE A public meeting of the inhabitants of Padding ton was held last night at the vestry-ball, for the purpose of promoting a general subscription of the parish in aid of the distressed operatives ; the Km Conn BOYD, incum bent of Paddington, presided. Vice -Chanotilor Kuidersley, Baron Charm Rev. Harvey Brooks, Rey. Dr. Manning, Rev. Tester, .W. Newton, Rev. C. A. Maclean, Rev , M. D. Witch, Row. E. A. Memento% Messrs. B. Shaw. G. T. Brooking, .J. Steward, J. Laammt,Q . P. Smith , G. (hitch. H. R. Prim; Captain Lochner, Oiptain Ruche, and Captain Penny, Paddington Rifles ; Captain Dickinson, Victoria Rifles, Ike., were present. ,ancelke KINDIBBLIT moved the first resolution, :—" Resolved , that this meeting, deploring the deep and wide-spread distress in the cotton manufaetuneg districts, considers it the duty of the inhabitants of Paddington to express their sympathy with the sufferers by raising a general subscription throughout this parish to aid in their relief." Mr. B. SHAW, in seconding the motion,observed that the second edition of the morning papers of st day effectually disposed of the hopes of those who bold back on the ground that the government was likely to interfere to put a stop to the war in America, in conjunction with France and Russia. Whatever Fiance and Rums might do, it was clear that Ragland would not depart from the policy of strict neutra lity and non-interveotion. Nor was it likely that Mr. Vil liers' act of last session would be brought into operation, because, before the rate reached the limit therein fi xed, all the sm all tradesmen of the distressed districts would hays become insolvent. He recommended that the subscriptions should be made out in a lump sum, but at the rate of so much • week for the next three or four mouths, so that the committee might know what they had to dep upon. If ever a pariah was called upon to come forward liberally in the present emergency it was Paddington,which had scarcely any poor of its own, and in which the poor rates were so extremely low. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Baron Onamexu, supported the resolution in a brief but feeling address. His next door neighbour, General Taylor, who was unable to attend, had sent& subscription of ten guineas for himself, and five guineas on behalf of Lady Taylor. The resolution having been carried, The Rev. Dr. MANNING moved • resolution appointing a committee with power to take the necessary steps for • house to house collection. He stated that in all the Roman catholic churches with which he was officially con nected, a letter would be read in furtherance of the object for which the meeting bad been called. He called atten tion to the severity of the suffering which must be borne by those operatives, and as illustrating it stated that it was estimated that by Christmas next the deficiency in money wages caused by the stoppage of the mill& would have amounted to 7,000,0004 . . The Rev. Hill% ET BROOKS seconded the resolution, and stated that hie congregation had already forwarded 2001. to the Mansion-house fund. The resolution was passed, and Mr. Chumhwarder. Warr= moved, and Mr. Church warden PRESCOTT seconded the nomination of the Dom mittee, which includes the rev. chairman, Sir B. T. Kinderdev, Mr. Baron Channell. Sir M. Farquhar, and weveral others of the principal inhabitants, the cler&y of all denominations in the parish, and the representatives of the parish at the Met r opolitan Board of Works. In the course of yesterday the Lord Mayor received the munificent donation of 1,0001. from Mews. Matheson and Co., in aid of the fund for the relief of the &stressed operatives in Lancashire and Cheshire. Amongst the numerous other donations received in the course of the ileaLivere 2501. from Medan. Cassell, Fetter, and Oa'Mu, one half of the second amount of 5001., subscribed byte readers of Carselra Family Paper (the other half to go to the Bridgewater-house Committee); Sir Michael Stewart, Bart., 1001. ; Lady 0. Si Stewart, 301. ; Lord Deere, 1001. ; Epsom pariah, 1001. ; parish of Woolwich, 100/. ; second collection at Toebridge Chapel, Easton-rad, per Rev. KilsbyJonee,llB/. Se.; Maas. John Stewart,,Oxley, and Co., 101 Y.; Messrs. R. Raphael and Soma, 1001. ; Mews. Mandalay, Sons, and Field, 2501. ; Rev. W. Gibson, 201. ; Mr. John Southern, 201. ; Mr. E. Longman, 50/. Besides these, there were an immense number of smeller subscriptions, and the total amount which came to hand during the day reached 3,200/. The new Lord Mayor has expemsed his intention of co-operating with the committee, and hes consented at their request to give his services es president, so that the fund will still be milled the Lord Mayor's Fund. Although the late Lord Mayor, Alderman Cnbitt, who has, since the formation of the committee, de voted much of his time and anew to the affairs of the fund as president and treasurer, had resigned his position as president , his valuable services will still be retained, and he will in future act as a member of the committee, and will likewise continue in the capacity of treasurer. POST OFFICE ROBBERIES. It is very satisfactory to find that the recent alteration in the system of the General Post-office relative to the registration of letters, and the reduction on the amount of the fee charged for regiatenng them, hu been found to work mast satisfactorily in one respect, namely, by most materially reducing, if not altogether anuihilating the offence of stealing post letters containing money or valuables. This crime was formerly carried on to • very groat extent, and hardly any session of the Central Criminal Court took place and the same observe. tion applied to the assizes—without five or six postmen being charged with stealing letters that were en• trusted to than to deliver, or which they purloined during the process of sorting. Those cues where detection took place did not by any means re present the total extent of the crime, as complaints were continually made to the head-office of the loss of letters containing money and valuable property, but the circum stances. were such A. to afford no clue to the detection of the guilty party. The cases where detection took place were always of a very painful character, as it is known that the Post-office suthonties are very strict in making in quiries relating to the persons whom they take into their service, and many of the unfortunate post men who could not resist the temptation of purloining a letter given to them to deliver, which contained money or other valuables, were persons who up to that time had borne a most unimpeachable character, and the sentence of penal servi• tuck which the judges felt it invariably to be their duty to per upon them wu attended not only with ruin to them selves but to every one connected with them, and the Rev. Mr. Davis, the chaplain of Newgate, and the other officials of that prison, have frequently, in their reports, stated that these are the most painful description of cues that come under their notice. Various schemes were adopted with • view to put a stop to the crime, but the mode that was usually carried out was by making ass of what is called a " test" letter, addressed to a fictitious person in the district from whence complaints of the loss of letters containing money had been made. The effect of this proceeding, however, was merely to detect the guilty party ; but, although the postman was perfectly aware that such means were employed to discover those who were guilty of a breach of trust, it did not appear to have any effect in deterring them from committing the crime, and they trusted to the chance of being able to destroy the letter and get rid of the coin contained in it before soy inquiry should he made. The crime, therefore, instead of diminish ing, was undoubtedly on the increase. The recent regulation, however, appears to have almost completely put a stop to the offence, and it operates in the following meatier. The public are aware that the fee for registering letters containing money or valuables was formerly sae shilling, but by the new regulation that fee is reduced to fourpenoe, sad all persona sending money or other property in a letter are cautioned as to the necessity of montane% it. In addition to this the Peet-office authorities have the power in all cases where a non-registered letter evidently contains coin to register it themselves, and the party to whom it Is addressed is required to pay a double registration fee of eigbtpence before the letter is delivered. It is well that this fact should be generally known, as the new regulation undoubtedly tends greatly to the protection of property passing through the Post-office, as, in the very few instances where • Posteoffice money order cannot be obtained, • letter can always be registered, and the temptation to dis honesty formerly afforded to the servanta of the Poet office is almost entirely abolished. Persons who have been in the habit of aenditg small sums of money is letters would also do well not to forget the effect of this alteration, as instances have occurred in which a small unmet, such as a shilling, has been sent in a letter, and the Post-office authorities, of course, Dot being aware whether it was a shilling or a sovereign, have themselves registered it ; and the person receiving the letter has been compelled to pay eizhtpence of the amount as the double registration fee. The effect of the new regulation must, however, soon become generally known, and there is no doubt that it will be found to work most advantageously as regards the sup pression of this peculiar description of crime. KITCHENS FOR THE PEOPLE IN LANcASHIRE.— Mrs. Eason Wilkinson, who is actively exerting herself in establishing " kitchens for the people" in the distressed dis tricts, by received the following letter from Mr. Potter, M.P.:—" Pitnacree, Dunkeld, Nov. I.—My dear Mrs. Wilkinson, I must apologise for not answering your noto sooner, it having been forwarded to me f ro m M anc hester to Scotland, and thus occasioned some delay.

Eirrura or LON DON. —lt appear. from the weekly return of the Registrai -General that the mortality of Londoie was high in the week that ended last Saturday. The deaths were 1,184 in the last week of October : they rose to 1,307 in the first week of November. The average number of deaths in ten weeks (18.32-61) corresponding with last week, with ► correction for increase of population, is found to be 1,739; and hence 68 persona died last week more than the number that would have been returned if the average rate of mortality for the beginning of November bad ruled. The most fatal of the diseases of the zymotic order was scarlatina, which numbered 89 deaths. Measles was fatal toll° children and one adult, 8 of which cases were in Bethnal-green, 4 in the sob-district, St. Mary Magdalen (Bermondsey), 4 in that of St. Peter, Woodworth, and 4 in the Waterloo-road, second sub-district. Of deaths by scarlatina, the numbers returned by the following cub district. were :—St. Margaret, Westminster, 5 • Church, Bethnal-green, IS ; St. Peter, Walworth. 5 ; and Britton, 4. There were 13 deaths from small-pot, 7 of which occurred in the east districts. Phthisis was fatal in the week in 152 cases; and the deaths from bronchitis rose to 101. A child, aged 8 months, died in Burratreet. Aldiate ; the cause of death is returned as follows :—" Diarrhos (1 month), accelerated by, if not en tirely origin►ting from, arsenical paper-hanging." Last week the births of 921 boys and 911 girls, in all 1,832 children, were registered in London. In the ten eons• upending weeks of the years 1832.61 the avenge number (corrected) was 1,837. THE W KAMER IN SCOTLAND. Winter burst upon us yesterday (Monday) in • form more palpable, if not more severe, than the recent heavy gales—namely, in that of a mart snow-storm. The fall commenced in the morning and continued heavily till some time past noon, about an inch of snow whitening the city. The sun, which shone out about one o'clock, combined with the beat of the town, converted this snowy coating into • most unplea sant compound of mud and water, which again towards evening froze into • slippery varnish of dirt and ice. The frost was not keen, the wind being westerly, and the thermometer in town only touching the freezing point. The approach of the storm may be held to have been indicated by the remarkable fall in the barometer which took place between Saturday and Monday, amounting to nearly nine-tenths of an inch. The instru ment at the Board of Trade Nautical School marked at 3 p.m. on Saturday 29 . 804 in. ; yesterday, at 9 a.m.. it stood at 28932; but at 3 p.m. it had risen • little, standing then at28'951. We m►y mention here that owing to the re moval of the instruments to another position, the publica tion of the ezoelletit meteorological tables furnished us by this establishment will be unavoidably suspended for • day or two.—Seotrinan._ _ DR.

Mr. Daly moved that a rule nisi which bad been obtained far a new trial be made absolute. Dr. Spinks showed cane against the motion, contending that the question before the jury had been purely one of credibility of witneues, and that the verdict ought tostand. Mr. Daly argued that the acquittal of the respondent hod admen solely from the mistake of one of the witnesses as to data, and that if there were not a new trial the interests of justice would materially suffer. Mr. Searle appeared for the co-respondent. Sir C. Creswell thought the rule ought to be made abso lute.

They pared through the court some time ago, but a ques tion now mese as to whether the joint creditors were entitled to prove against the separate estate of Walker, which is solvent, with a large surplus. Mr. Bagley, Mr. Bargood, Mr. Link War, and Mr. Letts appeared in the case. His Honour held that the joint creditors should be ad mitted to prove against the estate of Walker, the whole of the joint estate having been transferred to him on the dis solution of the partnership. DI u AITCHESON. The trader, who is well known in sporting circles, was described as a beenhop-keeper, of some place in Camber. well. He applied for his release from custody on the that he bad executed a deed of arr angemen t, w hi c h M in y t reg :len istered. signed by the requisite majority of creditors, and dul Mr. E. Reed supported the application. Mr. Begley opposed on the ground that the deed did not fulfil the conditions required by the act. The creditors were not fully set out. The matter came before Mr. Registrar Harlitt at a former sitting, by whom it was referred to his Honour. His Honour now expressed the opinion that the deed was defective, and therefore that he could not interfere to order the release. The debtor's liabilities are stated at about 8,0004 IN RE BEVAN& —ADJUDICATION. Mr. Holt presented a petition and obtained adjudication in bankruptcy against John Berlins, of Bowers Gifford, Ease:. The debts are 4,3001. ; tussle about 1,8001. (Before Mr. Registrar Hulitt) LY RE ZACHARLIII CHARLES MASON. Thin was the adjourned sitting for !woofs of debt and choice of assignees.

There was a large atteodence of creditors, and several other first sittings being fixed for the mune time, the state of the court was frightful—and creditors bad almost to fight their way to the table to register their proofs. Proofs to the amount of about 32,0001. wore taken, and the following creditors were chosen trade iodinate :—Mr. Martin Samuelson, shipbuilder, of Hull ; Mr. John Thomas Dobson, merchant, of Hull ; Mr. Peter Brame, Hall. gunpowder manufacturer, of Lambardatreet ; and Mr. F.

The Lord Mayor for the ensuing year (Alderman Rose) came into court punctually at twelve o'clock, the hour ap pointed for the commeocement of the business. His lord ship, addressing Mr. Goodman, the chief, and Mr. Oke, the second clerk, said that on taking his seat for the first time at the Mansion-house as the chief magistrate of the City of Landon, he naturally felt some little anxiety with regard to the performance of his duties, in consequence of the admirable manner in which the business of the court bad been conducted by his predecessor during the last two years. He was sure, however, that he should have the coo of the gentlemen whom he was then addressing, aad of all the other officials of the court ; and for himself, he would only say that it would be his determination he devote all his at tention to the requirements of his postilion, and that he would do all in his power to carry out the business of the court in a manner that would be satisfactory and convenient to the public. The greater part of the sitting was occupied in disposing of charges of picking pockets during the procession on the previous day. In one of the cases the prisoner was seen running very fast aloug Gutter-lane, and his manner exciting the suspi cion of a polioe-coostable, he stopped him, and he imme diately called out, " I've got it," and at the same time handed him a gold chain and a watch, the former of which was broken sod had evidently been snatched from its owner's pocket with great force. The constable informed has lordship that he had not yet been able to find an owner for the watch, but it had no doubt been stolen from some one in the crowd. The prisoner upon being applied to to account for the pos session of the property, said he " picked it up," and he gave it to the constable because he thought, he was the most proper person to have it. (A laugh.) The Lord Mayor remanded the prisoner in order to give the officer en opportunity of finding the owner of the watch and chain. There were several came of robbery that had occurred in the neighbourhood of Bow Church, and they were in a gyeat measure to be attributed to the silly conduct of some of the inhabitants of that locality. It appeared that during the afternoon, when the Lord Mayor's procession was expected to return, some of the persons at the windows, and on the tops of the houses, at the spot mentioned, threw half-pence among the crowd, and this, of course, occasioned a great deal of scrambling and confusion, which was speedily taken advantage of by the pickpockets. The Lord Mayor expressed his surprise that respectable persons should have been guilty of such silly and mis chievous conduct. The police had quite enough to do, under ordinary circumstances, to preserve order and prevent the commission of robberies, but such a proceeding as the one referred to was only calculated to give greater facilities to the pickpockets to plunder the public. His lordship added that he hoped such a course of conduct would not be pursued on any other similar occasion. In some of the macs that were brought before his lordship the prisoners were sent to Newgate for trial, and in others they were summarily dealt with, and sentenxd to dillerait periods of imprisonment. Mr. Barker telly oimunitted tie prisoner to the sessions for trial, and refused bail. LAMBETH. Mr. James Bridgett, the proprietor of the extensive vitriol works adjoining the New Kennluton•park, formerly the property of Mr. Fanner, appeared before Mr. Elliott to answer to a summons taken out spinet him by direction of Sir George Grey, the Home Secretary, charging him with using in his trade a furnace not constmated w as to consume its owu emeke. From the evideace adduced it that in the month of December last year the dotendist had bees convicted in a penalty of S 4 for a similar offence.

Inspector Dann also demised to basing cautioned the persons on the premise*, and to an application being made to the Commissioners of Police for three months to amble the defendant to make the required amendment, Police-constable 408 P read from the notes he had taken at the time, the dates and the length o f ti me th e d ense black smoke was seen to issue from the chimney. In his cross-examination by the defandant, the witness mid that the dense black =Wei begneetly beet from the top of the shaft to the ground, walleeafing the whole neigh bourhood. The defendant, in reply to the evidence, seemed the magistrate that, regardless of expense, over and had re been done to remedy the evil complained that, with the exception of one—and that be intended to remove to a different part of the premises —be had placed to the fur naces patent doors and bare, and had also got smokeless coals to burn, so that no complaint could be made. The defendant here called George Jacket, the keeper in Kennington-park, to prove that for the last five or six months he had not observed a greateiquantity of smoke to proceed from the shaft of the factory than usual ; but when edged about the state of the smoke at the time mentioned by the officers he was unable to state. Mr. Fraser, the foreman of the works, was also called, sad spoke of some improvements being made with respect to some of the furnaces, and said that the fireplace complained of by Mr. Sanderson as having no abaft to cam away the smoke was one which was very seldom used, and that only for melting some lead. In ropy to a question from Mr. San dman the witness admitted that that gentleman told him that if the same improvements that he proposed were made in one of the furnaces it would answer every purpose Mr. Elliott remarked that it app eare d t o him if the provisions of the act wore set at defiance ; and be convicted the defendant in a penalty of 101. William Royal, bed late barman at the Pigott Arms public-house, at the corner of the Fiat India. road and Pigott-street, Limehoums, was brought before Mr. Woolrych on remand, charged with stealing • gold Albert chain end • Memel calf-skin, value 31. 10e., the property of Mr. James Coleman, • commercial traveller. After the case hrd lasted some time, Mr. Young said it had been intimated to him that the prisoner wished to plead guilty to the charge. On the part of the prosecution he (Mr. Young) was very willing the case should be disposed of under the Criminal Justice Act. He submitted this was a case in which the magistrate would be fully justified in sentencing the prisoner to six months' imprisonment. Mr. Beard's siert said he hoped the magistrate would deal leniently with the prisoner. It was the first offence of the young man, who bad behaved very well for six months while he was in the service of Mr. Holmes, the landlord of the Pigott Arms. .. s ..... Tbe"prisoner said that although be had pleaded guilty, be could assure the magistrate the gold chain was only taken in a joke at first. Mr. Woolrycb said he could not believe that. This was a very sad cue indeed. The prisoner, who bad hitherto maintained a good character, bad yielded to a sudden temp tation and taken the prosecutor's gold chain. It would require many years of rectitude and honesty for the prisoner to retrieve the good character be bad lost. He sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment and bard labour. CLFAKEN WELL. Patrick Cochran, a low , pow erfulfilmult fellow, who de scribed himself as a costermonger, but who is well known to the police ea a thief, was charged with stealing from the person of John Perry the sum of 21. 10s. at Islington. Mr. Wakeling appeared for the prisoner. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor had been drinking rather freely, and the previau afternoon he west into a public-house, and was then seen by the pri soner to change some money. A short time afterwards the prisoner caught hold of the prosecutor, pinned him against the wall, and thrusting his bands into the prosecutor's pocket, stole 21. 10s. in gold. With this he made off, and would have mad* his escape bad it not been for police ser geant Richard White, 14 N, who seeing him running, and knowing that he was a thief, stopped him, and immediately afterwards he was given in custody. On the road where the prisoner been running two sovereigns were found by the polies. The prisoner said he supposed he should get transported for this, but he was as innocent as • new-born babe. The police stated that the prisoner had twine before been convicted of felony and robbery from the person. SHOCKING HURD= NEAR PRESTON. A diabolical murder has just been perpetrated at Ribclieeter, a small village a few miles from Preston. TM victim of the outrage is an old woman, 80 of age, named Ann Walne. She was a widow and kept a beer. house called the Joiners Arms in Fleet•streetdane, Rib. cheater. Ordinarily she resided by herself. Beyond keep ' ing the beerhouse she was the owner of a few cows, which were attended b► a labouring man in the neighbourhood. The impression in the locality was that the old woman had a good sum of money. She was of careful habits, did a very fair trade, and although four score years of age, managed to serve to the bar and superintend her affairs with re markable facility. On Monday night she shut up the house and retired to bed in good health. At 7 o'clock yesterday morning the cowkeeper came to the place, and aa usual knocked at the front door in order to get some cans, &c., out of the house. He knocked for some time, longer than usual, but no one came to the door. He then went to the back door and knocked there. Still there was no response from within, and he began to suspect that there was some thing wrong. His idea was that the old woman was dead. On looking on one side he found that one of the back windows was open. This circumstance alarmed him, and be went for one or two of the neighbours. On returning, the door was broken open, and the whole party proceeded upstairs, where they found Mrs. Wallas in bed, with her hands tied to the higher bed posts, and two shawls over her tam On removing the shawls they saw that she wee quite dead. Her face was black, her eyes were swollen up, and the blood was oozing from both her ears. She had evidently been suffocated—first tied down, and then gagged with the shawls and smothered. The news speedily spread throughout the neighbourhood, and one or two policemen were quickly on the spot. There is no direct clue to anyone es to the commission of the mur der, but it is supposed that the guilty parties reside in or about Ribchester, that they knew the circumstances of the old woman, and that their object was money. It is not known yet what, or whether anything at all, buboes stolen. The village is greatly excited, and the police are busy making an investigation into the subject. TRAFFIC RETURNS.

There is very little change in pram, bet they are slightly easier, and buyers might obtain some advantage as compared with lam week were they disposed to operate. The cloth market is quite as inanimate at the yarn market. There is almost total mesation of business. Belle's are more willing to to.ke some eoncession to ensure business, but buyers are altogetber indisposed to operate at any range of prices at pres en t practicable. Some small lots of clothe have been offered at a decline of as much as a shilling per piece, with. out finding buyers. Long clothe, T cloths, rimers, shirt. Mg; jacoonets, and all kinds of fabrics are alike unsaleable. There are telegrams from Calcutta to the 26th October, and from Bombay to the 27th. At Bombay there was no pa r . titular change. Owing to the holidays there was lth business, but prices were drm. At Calcutta there w as t slight decline in one or two deecriptions of shirting,. but business was dull.
