This motion, which has occupied the court parts of several days, was proceedesi with and mutinied to-slay. It appeared that in the year 1810 the society was formed, havinefor its object the printingend publishing the writings of the Honourable Emmanuel Swedenbmg, subject to certain rules and roc-Mathias. These regulations provided for the appolutment of an agent or manager, • secretary, end a tre,asurer, which appointments were vested in the committee of the society, consisting of twelve =anthem of the society, beanies this secretary and treasurer. The society in 1854 came to the determination to establish a library and read ing -nom, and to take premises for thist purpose and for a shop in which the books published by the society might be stored, published, earl mkt and they issued ad. vertisementa for an agent and meager to the society, who should live at the premises of the society, reot and tax free, in a rod situatimi, and who should he allowed a perorstege of 35 per cent. on all books sold by him out of the stock of the society ; sod it was provided that so, 't ageet robibt in addition to his duties to the society carry a retail bueibees io other new church works, and in works of general literature. Mr. White, in coasesineace of this advertisement, applied for the office, and was ap. pointod anent cal merger to the society, and he continued is such office till 1860, having been re-appointed from year to year ; and in 1660 be was again appointed by the com mittee at a salary of 75/. a year, and " six months notice of separation iin either side," and at the Mose tune the se cretary, Mr. Wilkinson, who had acted as such secretary for many yours, was re-appointed for the ensuing year. Mr. V kite. during the whole period of his appointment, resided at the house of the society, No. 36, Bloomeburyetreet, Boilhinbsimare, residing in the upper part of the house, nod using the shop partly for the sale of the books publishes! by the society, and partly in carrying on his own retail trade. Upon the purchase of the house by the society in the legal rotate was vested in four trustees, who were some of the present plaintiff& The committee of the society having beard that Mr. White had been for some time in the habit of sending out in the paresis et Swedenborg's work circular, sir nolvertimmeets of spiritualistic works, iacluding • the " Arran of Christiseity " and the "Song of Satan," and of selling the same at the society's shop, at a meeting held iu duly, lek, famed a resolution to the effect that the committee deemed it inexpedient that the writings of the Rev. T. L. Harris. or any other works commonly called spiritualistic, should be kept in stock ur expceed for sale in tbe soriety's house , and that the manager shooldb4requeeted not bi permit his name to appear as puldisher or agent upon any such emits, ur to be advertised as the seller of them. On the of August Mr. White replied that it had been agreed when by was appointed he was to be allowed to carry on bilious*. as an independent bookseller and pub lisher, that their revel-anion was au infraction of that Were:met eml destroyed hls property, and the' wrote that he not Yield to it. The committee, therefore, iessed a re..lotion that a six smooths' notice should lei elven to Mr. Wilde to determine his eugagemeot. .tt u to,. sting iif th e committee held on the 4th of October, feat, Mr White attended, and stated that he hail removed the I.o l .ll , etioriA utlvet,el to from the «s•iety's shop, wed he unites t's.k not to increase his stock of or publish any more spintidilisin wor k s. an d thereupon the notice dismissing him was withdrawn. tin the 13th of October a requisition treed by several of the m em b er . of tienne.taa,, i nc l u di ng _ some of the defends** was fo r w a rd e d by Mr. Wilkiases t the secretary of the society, to Mr. Sportle, Who was the eheartnau of the committee, asking him to sumo., a spade] general meeting of the melety as saw as emends., to consider the right of the society to interfere with Mr. Oi bites indspoodeut barium, and the propriety of adder: certain rules to the laws of the society.

It appeared that at the meeting held on the 12th of November, resolutions wee* mimed, among other things purporting to appoint Mr. White maiaser for seven years, sod re-appoint ing Mr. Wilkinson as sec:Mary of the society. This meet ing the plaintiffs alleged was illegal, not having been duly convened by the committee. Matters being in this position, and the plaintiffs (who are eleven out of the thirteen mem- hers of the committee) being unable to obtain possession of the house and shop of the society, in Bloomsbury-street, which has some time past been shut up, filed their bill praying that Mr. White might be restrained from acting se such agent of the society, and from continuing ' is pommies of the home of the society in Biome:diary. etre.; and inulorting the plaintiffs in the posameion and enjoyment of the same, erin the 'w i onn of the stock in-trade of the society. The MB sicprayed that the defen dant, Mr. Wilkinson, might be netnissel from mintieuing to act as secretary, and the defendant, William Fryer, from acting as treasurer of the society, bet this part of the mo tion it was agreed should be reserved till the bearing of the came.

In a case of this kind the court has only to at the rights of the parties, which though net strictly legal, are within the jurisdiction and protection of this awe/. If the defendant White lies by contend a right to the occupation of this house, or • part of it, in which he curries on his business, and has been Improperly, and is *Mies of hi rights, ejected, he hat • right to the =ion of this court. The present positi o n of White, is very peculiar.

I apprehend that, whatever may be the consequences in dimages with regard to the ejectment and turning out of easensioe, it is their duty to see that the trust property is not, by a person acting under their authority, used for a purpose hostile to the interests of the society. In the cam of "Yerry v.

In this case it is only necessary to look at the resolution of the meeting at the ilth of November, to see that the plaintiff', for rea , sass that they thought sufficient, thought it their duty at mice to dismiss Yr. White and to put an erd to the occu pation of the house by him for the purpoes of residence or trio* and the court must now deal with the ease not upon the merits as at the final hearing of the ewe. If the court nee so roman for doubting that in the honest exercise of their duty, the committee came to this conclusion, the monition Wag eel, one of interim poseeeine, it would I be a very strove thing for the court to consider that in I passing that resolution the governing body of the society, 1 who have the legal right, have transgressed their duty. It is • most important consideration in the cam that, in defiance 1 of this resolution, Yr. White violently got into possession of the plaintiffs property. Even if the ultimate decision of the court should he that the conduct of White wet, right, he (the Vice-Cbanoellor) could at present only loo'l at the priest facie rights of the parties. The court was ' asked by White to prevent his possession of the property of other persons of which he hes violeotly oh , tained possession from being interfered with. There lis no view of the one which could justify the court in considering that the possession so obtained, and uuder circumstances which rendered it impossible for him to carry on his trade, could be protected. It has been contended that the possession of White is fortified by a resolution passed at a meeting held on the 12th November, 1860. That meeting purported in defiance of the will of the committee to put White in possessiou under an engage ment for seven years to mime. If that meeting had been duly convened it presented the strange circumatanee of a complete rebellion of a lame body of the society against the governing body, who it is not contended have been dis placed from being such governing body by that meeting . It would be mast unseemly said improper for the court to refuse in assistance to protect the legal right of the trustees to the peanable enjoyment of their property. With regard to the meeting of the 12th of November, it was not necessary at present tided any opinion, s that would he a questio n t o beck at the hawing. In the meantime, looking at the pus. ermines of Mr. White, which has bees obtained violently and unjustifiably, and reserving the sights of all other parties, an order must be made in the following/items : " That the defendant White be restrained till further order from acting as the agent or manager of the society in the pleadings mentioned, or selling any of the books of the society, or receiving any monies due to the society, and from selling, publishing, or advertising at or from the house of the society, say books or other works except under the order and with the permission of the plaintiffs, and from disturbing, hindering, or molesting the plaintiffs or any of their agents in the pion • use, sod enjoyment of the said Louse, end the books, Mi . oh-is-trade, furniture and effects therein, or in tarrying on the Liminess and objects of the society at the said house.

THE POLICE COURT& MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Alderman Bose sat on Saturday for the Lord Mayor, who was unavoidably absent on account of having to pre side at the wardmote for the election of Common Qpunall men. The worthy alderman nqueded that the prese'would acknowledge the receipt of the following sums for the poor box :—Prom "T.," 9IX. ; from the Saddlers' Onopany, ten ma • from Mr. Bowan May, one guinea; and from "M. ins P. ' 0.," U. He at the mine time it:premed hie thanks to the benevolent donors for their kind contributions. As usual at this period, there were a good many ph cants for assistance ; but although this is rendered with - no niggardly or parsimonious hand, the public may redesigned that every care is taken to prevent imposition, and that while professional impostors stand very little chance of abusing the generosity of the public, no real case of &bees is neglected, and every gentleman connected with the court appears to feel sincere pleasure in relieving such cams in • kind and liberal spirit. Among the applicants for relief on Saturday was a vety welldressed woman, apparently about thirty.Bve years old, who made • rather extraordinary statement. The applicant, who was evidently a woman of education dated that she was the wife of a brewer in a large way of business, but he had left her, and had professed to make a settlement upon her when he did so, but she had been un able to obtain any money under it, and when she applied to the solicitors who had prepared the deed, upon the subject, they only laughed at her. She bad ascertained that her husband was living with soother woman, and she imagined that they were cohabiting together, but she had since ssoer tamped that they were married at Cberteey Church. The applicant here handed to the alderman a marriage certificate, and several letters which she said were written by persons of high condition who had been acquainted with her family, but she earnestly requested that no names might be mentioned. She then went on to may that she had endeavoured to in stitute proceedings against her husband for bigamy, but one solicitor to whom she applied would not undertake the came unless she paid down 501., and soother required 301,, and as she was utterly unable to pay either of these sums, she could not do anything in the matter. Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, told the applicant that she did not require the assistance of a solicitor at all. The offence was felony, and if she applied to any magistrate of the county of Surrey, and satiated him that the charge was well fouuded by the production of the certificates of the two marriages or otherwise, he would at once grant a warrant for her husband's apprehension. The applicant mid she had learned that her husband had settled Mt a year upon the person who was living with him as his wife, in anticipation of any legal proceedings being taken against him, and she believed that he hod also made a ents the moment he became aware that auy charge had been prepared against him, to leave the country. Alderman Rose told her that the magistrate wh o _ granted the warrant would take care to have it executed before her husband could have au opportunity of getting away. The applicant thanked the alderman for the information she had received, but said that the principal object she now bad in view was to for 110111 e temporary assistance, as she really was in • state of utter destitution. Alderman Rose inquired how she had been obtaining a livelihood down to the present time. She replied that since her husband bad deserted her she had supported herself by giving Shaksperian reading, in different parts of the country.

GUILDHALL. George Brown, alias Andrew Poky, and Janie* King, were itharied with the following watch robberies. It appeared that the prose ally an elderly gentleman, who wore a great coat buttoned up to his throat, was stand ing in Alderegateetreet, on Thursday last, while the City of London Hides, who were to form a guard of honour to Lord (lyde and General Outrun, on the occasion of their visit to Guildhall, were piratic, when the prisoners and another MP placed themselves in front of the prosecutor, and Brown was 906 P by one witness slipping his hand between the but tons of the old gentleman's coat, and on withdrawing his hand the same person observed him pass something to some one behind him, upon which they all ran away. Ifr. Chem an hotel-keeper of Akierspteetreet, said he was stars at his own door when two men stopped in front of hiss, and soon after King forced his way between them, and took op a position by the side of witness, who very shortly after saw all the men hurry away, and imme diately mused his gold waten, of the value 21., which he imagined must have been taken from his waistcoat pocket while his arm was raised in the at of saluting some mem bers of the Hite Brigade. Both robberies took place almost on the earn, spot, and within a few minutes of each other ; but as the pri soners were not known to the police, the court decided upon dialing smartrily wit► them. Mr. Beard tubmitted that it was an impossibility for Brown to have stolen the watch, as deecribed by the wit nem, as the old geatleman's oast was buttoned on the con trary side to the pocket in which the watch was kept ; and with regard to King, there was no evidence of his taking Mr. Champion's watch. Alderman Hale said it was clear to him that the prisoners were prowling about with a dishonest purpose in view, and he therefore oommitted them for three months with hard labour. MBER 24, 1860. with. Prosecutor, in addition to what he had beforestated, said that while walking down Skinner-street with his par cels under bit arm, he was accosted by the prisoner, who raked him if he should get • cab for him. He was quite sure that the prisoner was the man. Harrington, in reply to the magistrate, said he was not prepared to show that the prisoner was • convicted thief, but be believed that he was an associate of a Sumer's-town gang of depredators. He bad not had time to make in quiry rispectiog him, and he asked for a remand. The magistrate remanded him till flaturday next.

He asked me where I wee employed. I told him nowhere just then ; but I thought I was going back to Maples' again. He said, " When you get back you must see what you can do forme." Re asked me if I could get him any hair cloths (need for covering furniture), or s kis. i (for the same papas); also gimps or . cestann, or an wed in his way ; if I weld Ise would give me a hur price f or them. I told bins I did not know, I would see. After I got back to Mr. Maples I sent some things to Hardy by my brother, and I found that eve thing I seat he bought. I knew no one she that bought thew things, and I never should hare When thew, or stolen anything, if I had not known where to lake them to. If he had not persuaded me to send things I should never have sent anything. I knew no one else that would buy them but Mr. Hardy.

Her screams for assist ance brought several neighbours out, and ahe was conveyed home. Sergeant Bewlatad, 15 M, was soon on the spot, and finding that the prisoner had barricaded herself in her bows, he was compelled to burst the door open to take her into custody. The complainant was afterwards taken to the hospital, where she remained nearly • fortnight, and had now attended at great risk to give evidence. The magistrate said that it did not appear to him that she was yet is a fit state ; is bet, he thought she was consider. ably warm. He directed the officer to convey her to the beeZi e and ascertain her real state. t Howland, 19 M, conveyed her to the hospital, and is • short time returned to the own., and informed his worship that the authorities had detained her.

From the evidence adduced, it appeared that about four years ego the prisoner and her husband took apartments at 54, Duke-street, Westinimter-road i • and from the teed many of the landlady it appeared th at the husband bad been n the habit of treating her with great neglect, and had frequently told her that the best thing she could do was to out her throat. Os Friday afternoon her husband came home ins cab, packed up his clothes, and was going away, when the prisoner followed hint into the street, and begged of him to return to the house and remain at hoses, but he refused to do so, and after knocking her down twice, he drove away. After he was roe the prisoner appeared to be in a very dejected state, and between five and six o'clock the laodladY heard a loud shriek and a heavy fall an the floor. She rim upstths, and found the prisoner lying un her back ou the flow the blood streaming from a wound in her throat, end a taile.knife in her right hand. In reply to the charge the poor woman rioted that her husband and herself were natives of Manchester, and had kept a beer-house in that city for some time ; but her husband having formed a connexion with a young woman there, not more than 15 or 16 years of age, the business was neglected, and they ultimately sold off and came to London, intending to set up here in a similar business. Instead of making any exertion to do this, however, her hue. band was spending his time with the same young woman, who had cont. to town after him, and left prisoner in a per. fectly neglected state. On the preceding afternoon her husband came borne after a lengthened absence. She fol- lowed him to the cab, and asked him to return and stop ci home ; but be refused to do so, and knocked her down with his clenched fist, and while on the ground kicked her re peatedly. So brutal was his usage that she could not get up, end, while so disabled, her husband jumped into the eth and drove off. In conclusion, the poor woman said that she was so injured in body and distressed in mind that she scarcely knew what the did, but if allowed to go home she would 110 i attempt a further injury. Mr. Norton directed that her information, in writing, should be taken and sworn to ; and this having been done, he ordered a warrant to be made out for the apprehension of the husband, and told the policeman in the MAW to take the prisoner hack to the workhouse.

COTTON GOODS.—M•natnarin, Dgc. 22.—The mar ket fully sustains the improvement caused by the demand which sprung up for China on Monday and Tuesday, owing to the news that the war was at an end ; but there is rather less business in cloths for that quarter. For 404ach shirt- ' raga and for T cloths suited to that maiket prices are now I id. to 3d. per piece dearer, and the rise in these goods having induced some buyers for other markets to place orders which had been kept back in expectation of a further depression is prices, there is rather more strength in the value of mast kinds of cloth. Domestics for exppoort have been in demand, and sre I-16d. per sad dearer. Longaloths -e still much neglected, and only a modes:Me Winnow has been effected in printer.

WOOLLEN.— Lionne, D. 22.—We have had a better market this morning. It was not very well attended, but some considerable transsctions took place in both cloth halts. Owing to the Christmas holiiLiy, the next market day will he on Wednesday. HAEDWARE.—Bmmusonen, Die. 22.—There has been no new feature in connexion with the trade of this town since our last report ; it is not expected that much of ani mation will exist in the last week of the hat quarter of the year, but it does almost invariably occur that manufacturers are busy finishing up orders for delivery before merchants and factors dose their books for the quarter ; this year little of that sort of thing has occurred ; by far the Urger number of the manufacturers have been very short of work this weak; few have orders in hand with which to resume operations after the Christmas holiday ,• and in many of the manufactories the men will be paid after Monday's work not to return natal the following week. This languid con dition of trade is unfortunate at this season, and if it continues some privatiou will be in evitable amongst the class engaged in unskilled labour, it being the Scat upon which the 'pressure operates in the district. With regard to the artisans, not much inoonvenieacie baa yet been experienced, their earn ings have not. upon the whole, been much below the ave rage ; and if rely a moderate home trade commences early in the year the sennufactmers are sure to keep them in moderate employment. Alter to-night, however, there will be very few orders on head, apd until after New Year's day it is not likely that many will oome in. Adjudication is bankruptcy took place in this court, yesterday, against Messrs. 'lvor, lnnes, Vices, and Levisoo, South American mew-hank. The members of the firm are at Valparaiso, with the exception of Mr. Levison, who resides here. Partnership differences are said to have brought about this oecurreeee ; Mr. Vices has been reputed wealthy. in the adjoining manufacturing district trade is languid, but not depressed, with the exception of the iron trade, in which there is no animation whatever. pORN. —CAMBRIDGE, Dec. 22.—At this day's market prices were higher for all kinds of grail).
