A 'attire issued yesterday presents a comparison of these two counties in each of the weeks of October, 1861 and 1862. In the first week of October of this year, as com pared with the corresponding week of Octover, 1861, the in crease of pauperism was equal to 164'65 per cent. ; second week, 173.11 ner cent. ; third week, 185'84 per cent. ; fourth week, 109'0 per cent. ; fifth week, 21042 per cent.

A VICTIM TO THE DEPOSIT BANK. —An inquiry was held by Mr. Raffies Waithew, the deputy coroner, on Wednesday night, at Poplar, respecting the death of Mrs. Anna Benson, aged 59. John Webber, a bargeman, said that on Monday, as he was navigating his barge on the River Lea, near the Five Mills, Bow, his attention was at tracted by the loud barking of dogs, and a moaning sound. Ile s►w something 'looting under the surface of the water, and upon getting near he found it to be a woman. She was still alive, and he got her on shore. He saw two rough looking men standing near, and be called to them to go for the police and adoctor. They ran eft, however, and no one came until be shouted out for help. Ultimately she was removed in • cab. She could not have got into the river, where be found her, by walking in, ea there was a railing round it. Mr. C. F. Wilson said thatdeceaaed was his sister and was possessed of property. She had lost • sum of mousy in toe Deposit Bank, and, being apprehensive that under the winding up of that concern she would have to pay for the deficiencies of others, her mind more , or less gave wry, and she became subject to delusions, and thought she was doomed to poverty. That fear was, how ever, q•!,ite without foundation. On the day mentioned by the lest a Antes she went out to visit at Bow, which she evident!) did by railway, as the half of a return ticket was found ou her. She bad not been robbed, as a guinea was found iu her purse. Ile did not know hew she got into the water. Dr. Careen said that he was called to the deceased, who was in a state of collapse. She became sensible, but did not s3y bow the affair occurred. merely stating " that it sae too dreadful to talk about." She died from the effects of the immersion. Be had recently been called in to the deceased. and found her prostrate from poison—laudanum. When with difficulty he recovered her, she said she took the poison only as • medicine. She was subject to delu sion. Ile discovered a quantity of laudanum in a bottle. The returned a verdict, " That deceased died from immersion in the river Lea, but how she came into the said river there was no evidence to show.'

EQUITY COURTEL—Dsc. 4. (Before Vice-Chancellor Kr R. T. Kiodenley.) ATTORNIT-GINTIAL o. ITHEBIDGE.—PARTICULAR BAPTISTS. The arguments for the plaintiff in this case, which were commenced on the 11th November, and have since coon pied the court at intervals for eight or nine days, were brought to a conclusion today. The relators and plaintiffs are Miss Mary Spencer, Morn. Thomas Hodgman, George Lyson, and others, on behalf of themselves and all other persons interested in the trust deed of Cavendish Chapel, Raiusgete ; and the defendants are Benjamin Copeland Etheridge, the minister, Thomas Best Flint, John Berry ' Flint, and others, the trustees of the chapel ; and the question in dispute was the right of the defendants and others, members of the church, to admit to the holy com munion and to church membership persons who have not been baptised when adults by immersion. It appeared that in 1834 the Particular or Strict Baptists, who bold that it is not lawful to admit to the Lord's Supper any per son who has not when an adult been baptised by immerse°, founded a chapel in Ramsgate, which was called Beulah Chapel, and in 1837 the Rev. Mortlock Daniel was appointed as the minister. The congre gation increasing, it was determined in 1839 to sell Beusb Chapel. and to build a new one. This was done at a oat of some 4,860 f., and it is alleged that the greater portion of the money was contributed by the strict communioniste. Miss Spencer alone giving 3,200/. The trust deed of the new chapel, which is called Cavendish Chapel, and which was erected in May, 1841, takes no cognizance of the former chapel, and the trusts were, that the trustees for the time being should, from time to time, and atall times thereafter, permit the said chapel to be used, occupied, and engaged as a place of public religious worship and service of God, by the society of protestant dissenters, at Ramsgate, the denomination called Particular or Calvinistic Baptists, and by such other persons as should thereafter be united to the said society, and admitted members thereof, and should attend the worship of God in the said chapel ; and should permit such person of the denomination of Particular or Oilvinistic Baptists, as two-thirds of the members of the said society present at a meeting should from time to time elect and chowe to be their minister or pastor, to preach and expound the holy scriptures, and otherwise officiate in the said chapel according to the usual order and customs of societies of protestant dissenters of the denomination aforesaid. About 1840, Mr. Daniel, who had up to that time been a Strict Baptist, changed his opinion on that subject, and he proposed to admit to the Lord's Supper unbaptised believers ; bet the great majority of the church disapproving of that proposition it wee abandoned, and the subscriptions for the new chapel, ea alleged by the plaintiffs, went on on the understanding that the chapel was to belong to the Strict Baptists. In 1844 Mr. Daniel again moot ed the subject of open communion, and proposed to the church to admit "unbaptised" persons to the Lord's Table. The effect of that proposition was at once to induce Miss Spencer, the relator, and some other individuals, to request their dismission from the church, and they were accordingly transferred to a strict communion church at Broadstairs. This state of affairs continued till 1848, when, in the month of December, a resolution was unanimously passed at a church meeting to the effect that the Lord s Table be restricted to baptised believers. Mr. Daniel resigned either the name day or shortly afterwards, and the church wor shipping at Cavendish Chapel remained without a pastor till December, 1847, when Mr. Wills was elected to that office, and continued to bold it till September, 1853. During the whole of his pastorate the com munion was strict, and on the sth of May, 1848, a declaration of faith was agreed to at a church meet ing, in which they re-affirmed the principle of strict com munion. After the resignation of Mr. Willa, Mr. Etheridge was elected the minister, and the practice of strict com munion was continued to December, 1859, when Mr. Etheridge proposed a resolution at the church meeting to open the communion to nnbaptised believers. A vote by ballot was taken on this resolution, and it was carried by a Isms majority, sad at a subsequent church meeting the re solution was confirmed. After some endeavours on the part of the strict communionista to induce Mr. Etheridge to revert to the practice of strict communion this suit was instituted, and the plaintiffs by their bill asked the court to restrain the defendants by injunction from permitting the chapel to be used by any other persons than Particular Baptista ; and for a declaration that on the true construction of the trust deed none but Particular Bap tiste were entitled to the benefit of the trusts or participa tion in the Lord's Supper. In order to show that strict com munion had been the practice of the Particular Baptista ever since they were constituted as a body in 1633 and con tinued tobe so to the present time, the counsel for the plain tiffs quoted largely passages from Crosby's History of the Baptists, a book published in 1740; from Ivimey's His tory of English Baptists. Dr. Wall's Book on English Baptism, published in 1707 ; from the writings of Mr. Kittle, the Father of the Particular Baptista ; from The Confessions of Faith, published in 1643 and 1689; from the writings of John Buoyan (who WAS an open corn. munioeist, and who had a controversy with the Particular Baptiste of that davl, from the writings of the Rev. Robert Hall, and from various other works. A great mass of evi dence which had been taken before a special examiner was also read and commented upon at great length. Mr. Loyd, Mr. Hardy, and Mr. Davey were counsel for the relator plaintiffs ; Mr. Babb:leen for Mr. Ilousfield, one of the trustees ; Sir Hugh Cairns and Mr. Marten for the defendants. On the conclusion of the arguments for the plaintiff, The Vice-Chancellor said, having heard the arguments on the part of the plaintiff and the evidence on both sides, be did not think be should have occasion to call on the counsel for the defendants; but he would look into the matter fur ther between the present time and Monday morning, and he would then state whether he should bear the counsel for the defondants, but his present impression was that be should be able to give his judgment on Monday morning without hearing them. hours had been 00Seamed in its delivery, and even at the expiration of this time it was finished somewhat abruptly. Mr. Johnston, a clerk at the Hoine-offiee, was called to speak in referoice to some documents. but it appeared that he had not got them and knew very little about them. Lord Westbury was next examined ea a witness, and said —My letter of the 11th March, 1858 (a document spoken of as an award) I have no doubt was sent to Mr. Walpole. There was no official decision at all upon your case. The only document I recollect is a note to Mr. Walpole. The Attorney• General, in consequence of a question by the plaintiff, objected that he could not give evidence in reference to matters that took place previous to the 24th April, 1861, the date of the petition of right. Mr. Irvin oontended that such evidence was necessary, in order to show the damage which he had sustained. The Lord Chief Justice thought that the truth or false hood of the allegations in the petition of right was not LOW in issue • and, after some discussion, he added that the greet question was whether there bad been any breach of duty on the part of Sir G. Grey, and the circumstances to show this were that the petitlou was left at the Home office whilst Sir G. C. Lewis was Home Secretary. that sub. sequently Sir George Grey was appointed, and there were repeated applications to him upon the matter without any satisfactory result. Upon this point two letters by Mr. Irwin were put in evi dence to show that he had made application to the HOMW• office, but he refused, though repeatedly appealed to by his lordship and the Attorney-General, to put In evidence the answer received to one of these applications, saying that be bad no notice to produce it, and he was not to be dictated to as to how he should frame his case. The Lord Chief Justice, after a good deal more discussion, expressed his opinion that the only damages which Sir Geo. Grey could be held responsible for were those arising from the delay in presenting the petition, and not for the 100.0001. which was claimed from the crown in the petition of right. After more time spent in discussion it was arranged that the defendant should give evidence upon the question whe ther Sir G. Grey had or not refused to present the petition. Sir George Grey, however, was called by the plaintiff and examined at length, but the greater part of the questions put seemed to be by no means pertinent to the principal point in the cause. He said, amongst other things, I re ceived a imbixena duces tecnm, but I have not any of the documents mentioned in it with nie. Many of them are not in the office, and others are of a confidential nature. I be lieve Mr. Waddington and Mr. Fitzgerald have 'earthed for them, and they will be better able to speak *bout them. I have not got your petition of right of 1844 which Sir Wm. Follett as attorney-general submitted to the crown ; bat I do not know whether Mr. Waddington or Mr. Fitzgerald has it. Mr. Irwin—Then, Mr. Waddington, or Mr. Fitzgerald, hand it to me. (A laugh.) I submit that the Secretary of State is bound, like everybody elm, to obey a subixena. The Lord Chief Justice—Yes, according to law. He says he has not the document in question. Sir George Grey—All the documents that were in the office are in the possession of Mr. Waddington and Mr. Fitzgerald. Mr. Irwin—l my it is the duty of the head of the office to produce the documents. The Lord Chief Justice---If he does wrong in this matter he is answerable, and you can, if you think fit, proceed against him hereafter. Mr. Irwin—l am open and fair ; and where there is so much shuffling about a document, I am the more anxious to see it. Mr. Fitzgerald—l could not find the petition, though I have made strict search. . . Sir G. Grey (to his lordship)—l have not seen the docu ment, and I do not know whether it exists or not. Mr. Irwin—l contend that that is not a sufficient answer. The Lord Chief Justice—lt will answer for today, and if Sir George has done wrong you have your remedy. Mr. Irwin—There is an original letter which Earl Russell ham sworn in his affidavit that he bad in his possession on the 10th of June, 1839, as Secretary of State—the letter of the 20th of May, 1834, on which Lord Westbury states that the case depends. Do you produce that document in obe dience to your subpnioa. Sir G. Grey—A search was directed by me to be made, to ascertain whether all or any of the documents mentioned in the subpoena were in the Home-office, and the gentlemen who are in attendance from the Horne-office will produce all that there were there. Many were not in the office, and I am not sure whether this letter was there. Mr. Irwin referred to a case in "7 Dowling," to show that a Secretary of State was bound to produce documents in his possession. The Lord Chief Justice—But the document is not in his hands. You can all the other gentlemen, who will pro duce it if it midi. Sir G. Grey—lndorsements are made upon petition. of right, or memoranda upon separate pieces of paper, but these simply contain the substance of the answers to be sent to the persons sending them in. Mr. Irwin—Did you get a letter on the 21st of May, 1862, referring you_ to a letter of the 15th of July, which steam that the Lord Chancellor had refused his fiat ? Sir G. Grey—l got an answer from Mr. Pullen, your solicitor, informing me of your intention to apply for • mandamus, and asking me in the first instance whether I refused to present to the Queen the petition of right. This was the first intimation 1 had received as to the petition of right, except a letter addressed to moon the 7th Septem ber, requesting that the petition might be returned. Mr. Irwin—Did you or not present that petition to her Majesty, and if you presented it was it with the advice not to grant it ? Sir G. Grey—l submitted it to her Majesty with that advice which I thought it my duty as Secretary of State to tender, her Majesty acting always on the advice of her responsible ministers. I found, after receiving Mr. I'ullen's letter, that my predecessor in office bad treated the petition in the usual way ; be bad informed himself by the best legal opinion at his command as to what advice be should tender to the Queen, and acting upon that I advised her Majesty . that the petition should not be endorsed with the flat, Let right be done." This was the advice, not of Lord Westbury when Lord Chancellor, but when he was Attorney-General. The Lord Chief Justice—lf the jury believe the evidence of Sir G. Grey, I shall inform them that the verdict ought to be for the defendant. He says that he presented the pe tition to the Queen, and that he accompanied it with such advice as be, being a responsible adviser of the crown, felt it his duty to oiler. If that is so, he has not been guilty of that breach of duty which is referred to upon this record. Sir C. Grey—l am told that Mr. Pullen was informed of the circumstances of the petition being presented to the Queen by letter. The Attorney-General—That was the letter which the plaintiff refused to have read. The Lord Chief Justice (to Mr. Irwin)—And which if you bad had any regard for your fellow-creatures would have been read five hours ago. Do you think that you have gained anything by indicting this burden upon the suitors and the gentlemen who have been detained in attendance? Mr. Irwin contended that Sir G. Grey bad not acted in accordance with the Petitions of Right Act. The Lord Chief Justice—And I dare my if you were supreme he would be made to suffer, but he is not at your mercy. Mr. Irwin submitted that Sir G. Grey bad not acted in accordance with the statute in advising the crown to refuse the petition of right. The Lord Chief Justice—lt is my duty to decide what is the law, and I am of a contrary opinion. Mr. Irwin—And I bow to that opinion—(lsughter)—but I have the beat pro f ession al advice that Sir G. Grey has acted contrary to the statute. The Lord Chief Justice—l have spent the greater part of my life in listening to words, and I am perfectly sure that no words of yours will alter my derision. (To the jut') The question for you, gentlemen, is, whether you believe Sir George Grey. The jury at once said that they did, and a verdict was entered fur the defendant. Subsequently the plaintiff applied for leave to tender a bill of exceptions, but the application was not granted, and he wu told that he could move for misdirection. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.

The bankrupt, described as a gentleman, of Kensington square, late a prisoner for debt, applied for kis discharge. Debts of trifling amount. Mr. Bagley opposed for Messrs. Earl and Clark, solicitors, who were creditors for costs incurred in the Divorce Court. It appeared that the bankrupt's son had sued for a divorce from his wife ; he had to beooms responsible for her costs ; and his father bad guaranteed the amount (about 501.) He now came to the court without assets. It was contended that this was incurring debts without probable means of payment. as the bankrupt bad been living on his friends since a former bankruptcy in connexion with the Islington Cattle-market. After hearing Mr. It. Griffiths for the bsokrupt, His Honour did not think there was any preteinieforsaying that the debt bed been contracted without probable ground of payment. Now that the discretion of the court was narrowed, this motion was too often brought in with a view to condemn bankrupts. The care before the court wee • very bard one. An old gentleman had been made maroon. sable for his son, and had been imprisoned for his debt. This was the only debt ; there was no other creditor to complain of the bankrupt. It was said this man had been bankrupt before ; but that arose from his 00111161i011 with the Islington Cattle-market, whereby he had been made liable for a very large amount of the debts of others ; and he came out of that bankruptcy vary creditably, with • COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.7—Dze._4. --- - - - Sittings at Niei Prins at Westmiorter.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Common Jury.)

Mr. Serjeaut Parry and Mr. Telford Salter were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Collier, Q.C., and Mr. Woollett were counsel for the defendant The plaintiff, who is a German, carries on business as a cigar merchant, in Carlisle-street, Soho, and the defendant, Mrs. Temple, has • cigar business, which she carries on in the same neighbourhood. Plaintiff is • married man, but his wife is confined in • lunatic asylum. It 18.58 he entered iuto an engagement with the deceased to become his house keeper, at 101. per annum. She accordingly went to his hones, and the result was that they cohabited as man and wife ; the deceased passing as Mrs. Ruttinger, and wearing a wedding ring and keeper, as the plaintiff stated in his evidence. There were differences between them, and sews tines. After the last separation the deceased went to the Queen Charlotte Lying-in Hospital, where she was con fined in May, 1802, and died, leavieg • son. The child, it was asserted by Mrs. Temple, on her daughter's statement, was the plaintiff's ; but that he denied. At • meeting of the friends after her death it was arranged that the plaintiff should take care of the child and should have the money (the •mount of which was not then known) which the deceased had deposited in a savings bulk. They only believed at that time that she was possessed of a watch and some trifling articles of jewellery. The child only lived for eight or nine weeks, and on its death Mrs. Temple took out letters of administra tion, and then it was discovered there was 961. in the bank, which the mother kept. The plaintiff denied flint be was the father of the child. He said its father was in Rome, and he would have got 1,000/. and the Temple family 2001. on the return of the father to this country if the child had lived. By the bargain with the defendant he was to main tain the child so long as it lived—for ever. (Laughter.) The defendant denied the arrangement, and claimed to deduct certain charges for the funeral, Sm. The ease de pended much upon documents that had passed between the plaintiff and the deceased. Ultimately a verdict was returned for the plaintiff for 244., with leave to the defendant to move. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Dar. 4.

The plaintiff addressed the jury, informing them that the action was brought under the Common Law Procedure Act, 1834,and the Petitions of Rights Act of 1860, commonly known as Mr. Bovill's Act, and the petition of right in ques tion prayed for a jury for the purpmeof enforcing an award made by the present Lord Westbury some four years ago. He also detailed the history of his affairs for many years past, and the state of the law previous and subsequent to Mr. Bovill's Act. In the course of the address Lord Palmerston and the Lord Chancellor took their seats upon the bench. Sir G. C. Lewis, Mr. Walpole, Mr. Waddington, and other official gentlemen, were also in court. As far as could be gathered it seemed that the plaintiff's claim arms out of these circumstances.

The prisoner was defended by Mr. Addison. It appeared that the prisoner had been in the army end Nerved in the Crimea, and was discharged with a pension. He married his first wife in July, 1857, at Beltran, is the county of Kildare ; and be married the second wife at Chat ham, on the 10th of August in the present year. Hannah Howe, the second wife, a comely-looking little woman, deposed that she kept a lodging-house at Chatham, and the prisoner was introduced to her at the oorrmence meat of the present year, and soon afterwards be paid his ad dramas to her. He represented that he was a widower, and said that his wife had died at Wolverhampton, and that upon her death-bed she exacted tram him a promise that he would not marry again until six months had expired. (A laugh.) She inquired of him when that time would arrive, and he told her on the 10th of August, and on that day they were married. (A laugh.) A very short time after the marriage she saw a letter that had been written by the first wife, and she asked the prisoner whether it was true that he bad a wife living, and he mid it was not, and she then told him that she would not live with him any more until the matter was cleared up. The prisoner, upon this, packed up his things and left the house, and shortly afterwards she ascertained that he had a wife living at Wolverhamptor, and the prisoner was taken into custody. It was proved in the course of the cane, that the witness had been in the receipt of a pension, on account of her husband having been killed in the Indian mutiny, but the pension bad been with drawn by the government, in accordance with the usual custom, upon her marriage. The jury returned a verdict of (hilly, and the prisoner was sentenced to four months' hard labour. The greater portion of the remainder of the day was occu. pied in disposing of cases the details of which were entirely unfit for publication. Alfred Burr Lurk, Themes Stevens, George Allehin, Joseph Okey, Stephen Burgess, John Oatt, and Joseph Clip son, the seven men who were tried on Wednesday for the manslaughter of the gamekeeper and acquitted, and who afterwards pleaded guilty to a charge of night poaching arising out of the same transaction, were then placed at the bar to receive judgment. The learned Judge, addressing them, said that they bad pleaded guilty to the offence of being out at night armed with guns in pursuit of game, sod that the statute which made this an offence was a most salutary one the circum stances of the present case proved most clearly. One man had lost his life, and another had stood in the position of being liable to have his life also taken • and this was the result of the offence to which they hid pleaded guilty. The jury bad acquitted them upon the charge of mar , - slaughter, and he should not permit that charge to have any effect upon his mind ; but in the sentences he was about to pronounce he should endeavour to deal with them accord ing to the share that each of them eared to have taken in the transaction to which they had pleaded guilty. He then sentenced Luck and Bargees, who, he said, appeared to have been the original projectors of the expedition, to be im prisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve, and the others for four months each. As the prisoner Luck left the dock he declared with great earnestness that he was not the man who shot the deceased. Major Murton, the farmer who had been convicted of the manslaughter of his wife, was next brought up, and he handed up a written paper to his lordship when he was placed at the bar. Mr. Justice Ityles, addressing the prisoner, said that he had been very properly convicted of the offence of manslaughter, and he bad delayed passing Ben. tense lest the indignation that must almost naturally be excited by the circumstances under which the offence was committed should interfere with the proper administration of justice. If he bad intended to inflict serious mischief upon his wife his offence would have been murder, and he would undoubtedly have been left for execution. He did not believe that he intended to canes serious mischief to his wife when he assaulted her, but still his offence amounted to manslaughter, and man slaughter of an aggravated character, for which he must pass a sentence of penal servitude. (The prisoner hers ex claimed. " I hope not, my lord ; pray have mercy.") Such a punishment was no doubt a very serious one to a man sato, he saw, had filled the offices of churchwarden and overseer, and had occupied a respectable position ; but his duty to the public left him no alternative but to order him to be kept in penal servitude for three years.

NORTHERN CIRCIIIT.—LivERrooL, Du`. 4, In his charge to the grand jury Mr. Commissioner Gur ney (Recorder of London), who takes charge of the crown business, in place of Mr. Baron Wilde, said that he had been much struck with the absence from the calendar of those particular crimes which one might have expected to be produced by considerable want and poverty prevai big in the district. Their absence was only an additional proof of the admirable conduct of that portion of the population now in a state of suffering. They certainly did not seem in any way to have contributed to the increase of the calendar. result of certain contemplated proceedinp in parliament. In the meantime a person whom they had formerly em ployed as secretary and collector. was going about to medical meu og for subscriptions to recoup them for 10111eS in legal ings, and also to pay the expenses which would attend the introduction into parliament of a bill which, if carried, would be more offs dive t h an the existing act. Now ' it was quite true that be and Dr. Ladd had been largely out of pocket by incurring legal expenses beyond the amount of subari tions in hand ; it was also true that they were en gaged in promoting a bill which they hoped would be carri ed next session ; but it was not true that they had authorised the individual alluded to (who was no longer in their service) or any other person to collect sub scriptions, or make any appeal to the profession or to the public, either to compensate them for their losses or to aid them in further proceedings. Mr. Levies produced three receipts which bad been given by the person alluded to for contributions, which he said he collected by authority of IMr. Levies. One of these was made out upon one of the printed forms of the association and signed "For J. Levies." Mr. Hall said if the facts stated could be proved the man might be indicted for forgery and obtaining money by false pretences. Mr. Levies hoped the publication of his statement would put a stop to the system of fraud. THE POLICE COURTS. BOW-STREET. George Collins, a powerful-looking young man, who stated that he was • carpenter, was charged with assaulting Mr. Shirwell, collector of taxes for the pariah of St. Clement Danes, in the execution of his duty. Mr. Hockley Wood defended. Mr. Shirwell deposed—On the sth tilt. I went to a house in Clement's-lane, where the prisoner's father (John Collins) lives, to execute a warrant against him for poor rates. Hi wife met me at the door of her room on the first floor and called oat for her son (the prisoner), who came down from a room above. He seized me by the scarf, at the tack part of my neck, and ran me down stairs with such violence that I wu much shaken by the jar I received on arriving at the bottom, and he then pushed me into the street. The door was closed behind me and locked from the inside. I went for a constable, by whose assistance I obtained admission to the house again. We searched the house, but could not find the prisoner. I saw hie father on the parapet at the top of the bowie, but did not think it safe to venture out there after him. I obtained a warrant against the pri. sonar, and placed it iu the hands of the police. Achill, of the F division, has been in search of the prisoner ever since. but could not find him until last night. Mr. Hockley Wood said his answer to the cue was that there must be sumo mistake, as the prisoner was not the person who assaulted Mr. ShirwelL He could do no more than call the witnesses according to his instructions. Mary Ann Collins, the prisoner's mother, said that when Mr. Shirwell called it was so dark and foggy that ebe did not see who it was. He said he wanted to go into her room, and she declined to admit him unless he stated his banner+. He refused so tell her, and she pushed him down stairs. Her son was not there at all. Mrs. Hayes, another lodger in the same house, deposed that Mrs. Collins called her to hold the baby, which she did. The " old gentleman" wantedin, aod would not state what his business was. Mrs. Collins then gave him a slight push, and he ran down stairs. John Reynolds, a carpenter, said he lived at the top of the same house, and the prisoner worked with him. He heard the disturbance, and was told 'the gentleman was in for the poor rates." A struggle took pece between the gentleman and Mrs. Collins, and the gentleman went down stairs. Could not say who pushed him, hut was quite sure that the prisoner was not there. Mr. Hall said there could be no doubt that these wit- nesses bad not spoken the truth. It was necessary to make an example in such a case, or it would become impossible to collect the taxes. The prisoner must pay a fine of 50a., or be imprisoned for 21 days, with bard labour. The line not being paid, he was sent to prison. Mr. Levies, surgeon, 5, Groat George-street, West minster, treasurer to the National Medical Registration Association, and Dr. Ladd. hoe. secretary to that society, attended to ask advice under the following circumstances. Mr. Levies stated that the association bad been established immediately after the passing of the Medical Registration Act, for the purpose of proeeouting, under that !astute, persona who acted as medical men without legal qualifi cation. They had instituted numerous prosecutions, but had failed in cousequeoce of imperfections in the act. They bad therefore desisted from active operations, awaiting the CLERK EN WELL The court was crowded by the tradesmen of Islington to hear the cases against several of their body in the same parish who had been summoned before Mr. Barker at the instance of the vestry of the parish of Islington, for causing an obstruction by exposing goods for sale. Mr. Layton (the vestry clerk) attended for the prosecu tion. Mr. Layton. in opening the case, said that great com plaint. had been made to the vestry of the obstructions caused by tradesmen's goods, and he had been instructed to proceed in the matter. He might state that the law war clearly expressed in Mr. Woolrycb's work on "The Law of Ways" (2nd edition) ; for therein it was stated, " The legislature has forbidden all obstructions on highways and turnpike roads, and has so regulated those public ways as to afford the moot ample enjoyment of a fall and free pawge along them." If the defendants would plead g • ty, and promise not to offend again, be would ask that a fine of 55., instead of 51., be imposed, and that the defendants pay the outs. Nineteen cases were thee disposed of by the defendants being tined ss. each and costs. Mr. Barker said if any of the defendants came before him again for the same offence he should have to increase the platelike. WESTMINSTER. Timothy Sullioan,ChTriaasia; the garotte robbery of Mrs. Harwell, at Knightsbridge, underwent another exami nation before Mr. Paynter. As before, Mr. Smyth conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Edward Lewis, of Marlborough-street, defended.

Mr. Edward Wood, a.. --- t contractor for the parish of Bermondsey, surrendered to his recogoisances for further examination, charged with feloniously receiving 801. in gold, the property of Mary fiteddolph, wholesale confectioner, Bermondsey New-road, well knowing it to be stolen, under the circumstances already fully reported. Some further discussion now took place, which resulted in the case being sent before a jury. WANDSWORTH. James Steele, • plate-layer on the South Western Railway, appeared before Mr. Ingham to answer an adjourned sum mons for unlawfully assaulting Mr. Edward Wood, • farmer, at Marton. The evidence went to show that on Sunday morning, the god tilt., the complainant beard the firing of a double shot in the direction of his own ground, or on the Duke of Cam bridge's preserves. He imonediately went out and saw two men on the duke's land. One was carrying a double-barre ll ed gun, and the other a stick. He asked them what right they had to be there, and they inquired his right. He told them that be had a certificate, and that they had no right to shoot on • Sunday. He followed them for the purpose of obtain ing their names, and they went on to the South-Western Railway. He also went on to the line for some distance, and saw the defendant talking to another man. The de fendant allowed the two men to pass, bat he went up to the complainant and asked him where be was going ? He told him after the two poachers, but be refused to allow him to pass, and took bold of him by his coat on each side of his throat. He also said that he should not go along the line, end that it was • 51. penalty. After a struggle the complainant got away into the Duke of Cambridge's field, and be went to the pointeman et the Wim bledon junction for the purpose of ascertaining the name of the defendant, who again attempted to stop him from going on to the line. The defendant endeavoured to prove that be was authorised by the company's by-laws to pre vent trespassing, but the pointaman elated that the de fendant had no right on the line on Sundays, and further that he was some distance from the place where he worked. The pointaman also proved seeing the defendant in company of two men on the line, and that about an hour afterwards he returned by himself. One of the officers of the court proved that the defendant had been fined for trespassing in search of game, in con junction with a man named Bones, who the enmplaioaut said was one of the two men he saw on the Duke of Cam bridge's land. Mr. Ingham believed the defendant was connected rith the two poachers, and fined him 40a. 'admits, the penalty he would have imposed for poaching. The money was paid. TWO MURDERS IN LIVERPOOL. Yesterday morning, a shocking murder was per petrated at Liverpool, the victim being the wife of • tinker named Read, residing at No. 7, Lower Myrtle-street, off St. Anneatreet. From the facts which are at present known it appears that Read, his wife, and a son about eleven years of age, resided in the cellar of the house in Myrtle-street, and that yesterday (Thursday) morning • police officer was accosted by • young woman, who informed him that • woman had been stabbed io No. 7, Lower Myrtle-street. The constable at once went to the house, where he found the deceased, Ann Read, lying on the floor, bleeding from • wound under the left arm. He procured the assistance of Drs. Nieven and Jones, who accompanied him to the residence of the deceased. Every effort was made to revive the poor woman and stop the bleeding, but without avail, and she died immediately after the arrival of the doctors. People in the immediate neighbourhood state that they beard • cry of murder early in the morning, and that they believe it must have come from the hoes* occupied by the deceased. Reed and his son have absconded, and, not withstanding the vigilance of the police, have not, up to the time of the departure of our parcel, yet been apple. heodi victim of the *wood murder is also a woman. Her name was Isabella Tongue, and she cohabited with a man named Thomas Edwards, a butcher, who, however. iostsad of making a living by following his trade, supported himself on the earnings of his paramour's prostitution. Lest Thursday morning, about of o'clock, while Edwards, the deceased, Jane Wilson, and • man narnoi Thomas Sullivan, • ticket-of-leave man, were aitting round the fire in a house in Norburyaireet, Edwards seized butcher's knife, and rushed at Tongue, whom be stabbed is nineteen places. He also stabbed Wilson and Sullivan, but not very seriously. The unfortunate woman Tongue never rallied, but died yesterday morning. An inquest was held yesterday, when a verdict of " Wilful murder" was returned against Edwards, who, instead of appearing affected at his position, said that he was very glad that be had done for her," " that be had made his peace with God, and didn't care a whether be was hanged or not. He intended to kill her, and was glad that she was dead." THE COWARDLY GAROTTERS. TO YRS XDITOR OF THIS ICINSESS.

At the same instant be observed three other fellows emerging from the dark shelter of some shrubs in a forecourt, close behind him, and in another moment they would all four have closed upon him, but having had some misgivings lately when passing through ' this dull locality, he mostly carries a spring-book knife open, with the blade concealed up the right sleeve of his coat— providentially he wu so armed on this occasion, and Seeing his peril, he without an instant's parleying struck the fore most fallow a swinging blow with it on his breast, cumin bim to fall back, exclaiming, " He has hit me!" The young man at once stalled oti, running for his life, closely followed by three of the fellows, who chased him for about a quarter of a mile to nearly the Higb.street of Hackney, when they turned back, running away as fast as they could. To the first man be met (who, he thinks, was a policeman, but owing to his fright and the darkness of the plus be cannot speak positively on this point) he detailed these facts, whoa the ooly reply he got was, "Ah ! I daresay—very likely. 1813811 be round that way presently myself, and perhaps I shall see something of them."

" PATER." THE INSECURE STATE or TILE 14Ernoroma—At s meeting of the vestry of St. George's, Hanover-square, yesterday, the vestry clerk read the memorial adopted by the vestry of Paddington, calling the attention of the Home Secretary to the alarming increase of garotting in the metropolis, asking the sanction of that vestry to the memorial. The general opinion of the meeting seemed to be that the memorial wes not strong enough, and that the ticket of leave system was not sufficiently condemned. It was resolved to agree to the Paddington memorial, and to drew up a second memorial to the Home Secretary, praying that convicts under sentence should be no longer pam pered with such liberal diets, and in all other respects treated better than paupers, that the ticket of leave sys tem should be abolished, and that sentences should be fay carried out Importing Tea without colour on the leaf pre vents the Chinese puing off inferior brown leaves so in the usual kinds.

There is some businessdoing in yarns, but chiefly for home consumption. There has been more inquiry for Ocoee, but it has not led to much more business. The continental trade generally is so yet very quiet. The German trade in plain goods in so far represented as unusually dull ; the orders from Italy, Holland, and Belgium are not extensive, and little is now doing for France, except what has been previously ordered. The high pricee now ruling naturally check business every where. There are a few American orders still to be en. cuted, but the demand of late has so much diminished that ' manufacturers are beginning to be slacker. The home met. chants are among the inquiring, picking up a few lots hers and there, and placing only small orders in plain goods.

LACE AND ROSlERY.—Normonfan, Dec. 4.—Trade is in pretty moth the same condition as it was a week ago ; anything like a tolerable demand for the time of the year bang checked by the dearness and scarcity of cottoo. There are a few parcels of lace goods being made up for shipping, with still lees doing for the home markets. The boeiery trade is also no better, though we can hear of inquiries being made for shipping houses. No orders to any amount have been yet given out, nor are any expected till after Christmas. It is expected, however, that in a week or two we shall have some indications of the bushier which may then be expected. Manufacturer' complain sorely of the injury which is sometimes done to their machinery by reason of the very inferior and mixed quality of the cotton which they have to work with.
