THE CHURCH AND DISSENTERS. ESTIMATED EXPENDITURE ON THEIR 01,11 CLERGII ET THE PEOPLE Who ARE NOT HEARERS OF THE ESTAILISIIED CHURCH IN ENGLAND AND WALES. ilearers. 6,000,000 ... The opinion is very prevalent, that of the twelve millions of people, lye millions only are hearers of the Church of England, and seven millions are hearers of ministers not under her control. Some of these ministers have doctrines and liturgy extremely near those of the Established Church, but differing sufficiently to let them and their flocks remain proprietors and masters of their own place of worship, and also to let thtm teach their peculiar point of doctrine without episcopal interference and censure. In the pre sent estimate are Included all who are not subject to her Bishops, nor p acalting of her revenues. Maces of Worship Considerable pains have been taken, hitherto without success, ro ascertain the number of places of worship of the sects differing lions the es* Nl:lament. In the House of Lords it was stated, and not controverted. on both the 18th and 26th March, 1811, that upwards 01 12,000 licences had been taken otit since the accession of George 111. for such pl4-es of Worship ; hut many of them being large rooms not built for places of worship were liable to be •' Indoned and turned to other uses. The same want of success has attended the inquiry as to the number of ministers or preachers, and their income. But after a good deal of investigation, it is offered as an approximation that there are about 8,000 places of worship, averaging a minister or preacher for each, with an aver age income of £6O or £7O a year ;—in all about half a million of money.

During the night between last Tuesday and Wednes day, a stack of hay and another of clover, value about £7O, De limiting to Mr. Machen, Stubbing House, near Eccles&ld, and about five miles from Sheffield, were most nefariously set fire to od destroyed.Tbere can be no doubt that some incendiary or incen diaries intentionally caused the damage to Mr. Machen's property ; and from two anonymous letters given below there is ground for supposing that the villain or villains were led to commit the mis chief in consequence of Mr. Machen's not having complied with the requirements contained in the letters to dismiss a workman in his service, who, after attending the proper hours of labour at Mr. Machen's, was employed night or morning by an individual or two in the neighbourhood, to take care of game. It seems he bad by some means rendered himself obnoxious to the writer of the two following letters : Bradfield August the 30 1329. Mr. Smith this is to inform you a little about tenting game you are a man that i respect very well But if you let a tenant of yours until the first of Oct. i shall certoinly set fire to all your hay and corn stacks so help me god so you must not think it a gest a idle rogue Blast him I have got something ready for him that is very ofull is a tenter But I will stop his walk if be remains a tenter until first October so Mr. Smith I do not think no worse of you if you get rid of him by that time But if you do not I Shall do as above mentioned if my god whom I serve spates me my life until that time so no more from me a well wisher for of yours Mr. Joseph Smith Cross House Near Grennside The other letter was sent more than a fortnight after the first. as appears by the date : Wadaley September 16th 1829 Mr Smith this is to inform you a little about tenting Game you are aware that I respect very Well but if you let ... be a tennant of yours any longer then the first of October i will set fire to all your hay and corn stacks.

Mr. Machen, jun. passed the stacks at about ten o'clock of the night when they were set fire to, so that it was probably near midnight when the diabolical act was com mitted. The mischief was not found out until morning, when a servant man rose at the regular time to go to work. A reward of .ESO has been offered for the discovery of the of- fender or offenders, and we should hope the means used to bring the perpetrators of so diabolical an outrage to justice will be suc cessful. The individual on whose account the above threatening letters were sent has resigned his situation as gamekeeper—not on account of the personal intimidations used with reference to him self, but because he would not be the cause of danger or suffering to others. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday afternoon an inquisition was taken at the London Hospital, before Mr. J. Milne, jun. on view of the body of a re markably fine child named William Henley, aged three years, who met his death in the following shocking manner : Wm. Aldus, residing at Jameszoweet, Globe-fields, deposed, that about one o ' cl ock on Monday last, having just sat down to dinner with his family, his attention was attracted by continued screams, coming from the adjoining house. Witness exclaimed—" Good Goo! there is something the matter with the children," and jump ing up, instantly proceeded to the next house, when, on opening the door, a most shocking spectacle was presented to his view, the poor deceased babe. being enveloped in the lames, which his sister, a girl about eleven years of age, was vainly endeavouring to extin guish ! Witness pulled off his coat and wrapped it round the little sufferer, which quenched the fire, but not until the clothes were burnt to a cinder. At this time Mr. Surf, a surgeon, who hap pened to be driving by in his gig, seeing what had occurred, in stantly alighted, and after examining the little fellow, recommended • that no time should be lost in taking him to the hospital, and thi ther be was accordingly taken. A lighted stick was on the Boor, which.deceased had been playing with. Mr. them upon enquiring if the medical gentleman who at tended the deceased was present, was greatly surprised on learning front Hurst, the Surgeon's Beadle, that be had quitted the hos pital together with the other medical pupils sonic time since. Juror.—Waa htp . aware of the time fixed for the Inquest ? Brown, the beadle, answered in the affirmativT. Juror.—Then I tkUnk he has treated us with the most marked comempt and diuispeet, and it is not the firgt time we have been so tteated. Uziwni.—lt is certainly wrong, and his non-attendance mibht have obliged us to postpone the inquiry. In the present case, however, it must he evident that the dreadful manner an which the ceased is burned is sufficient to cause death ; but in future the medical witnesses shall be summoned, and must attend, or take the _ cutiscquences. Verdict, " Accidental Death " NIELANCIIOLY ACCIDENT BY FlRE.—Yesterday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, the family of J. Wil:is, Pski. of Montague-square, St. Mary-is-bonne, were thrown into the utmost consternation and alarm, by the cry of fire, at that hour of the morning, which was issuing irom the bed room ut Mr" Willis, on the back second floor.

David ftitchie,Esq. who resides at Calloch, in the neighbourhood of Stranraer, performed on Saturday week rather a remarkable pede•trian feat. A Shutt time before, he took a bet at 100 sove reigns with Sir James Hay, Bart, and Mr. Wraggart of Ardwell, that he would walk to Ayr in fifteen hours, though the distance is 52 miles, and the road, which is a shore one as far as Girvan, more remarkable for ruggedness than any other feature. Accordingly, he left the King's Arms, Stranraer, at seven minutes past three, A. 31. breakfasted at Ballintrae, lunched at Kirkoswald, and arrived in Ayr at half-past five. p. x, having completed the dis lance in fourteen hours and a half, including stoppages. From the state of the road, and the nature of the weather, Mr. Ritchie felt rather timid at first, but his spirits improved as he neared the gaol ; and after dining and changing his dress, he sallied forth and visited his friends in Ayr, who one and all marvelled to see him look so fresh, after walking more than a round of tho clock, at the rate of four miles per hour. Every one who has travelled the coast road to Ayr, must have a lively recollection of the Braes of Gle napp, and those tremendous acclivities, the Binning and Ardmillan Bills. As compared with those eminences, in length as well as heights, Errickstane Brae is a mere trifle, and the feat performed is the more remarkable on this account, that Mr. Ritchie, from his status, has so little practice as a pedestrian, that he scarcely ever walks a mile, excepting when he goes abroad with his dog and his gun.—Dionfrics Courier. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COhlfilVFf FLEAS, Ocr. 29. Last day of Sitting in London, before Lord Chief Justice Tymoria and a Special Jury. STEAM AND OMNI 7. THE BANK OP ENGLAND. This was an action instituted by Sir Edward Stracey, Bart. and Josias Stracey, for the recovery of £605 11s 2d. Long Annuities. Mr. Serjeant S , for the plaintiffs, stated the case to the Jury. Sir E. Stracey, Bart. and Mr. Josias Stracey, one of the late partners in the firm of Marsh, Stracey, and Fauntleroy, be came possessed of the sum of £605 11s. hl. Long Annuities. They wished to transfer this Stock to another party, but the Di rectors of the Bank of England refused to grant this transfer. The parties who first held this stock are now dead, they held it as trus tees ; at their death it went to Harding Stracey, and at hia death it came to the plaintiffs.—The present action is to recover that pro perty and the interest thereon. The Bank of England were ap pointed as the agents for Government in the management of the public money. The stock in question was settled by 2 Geo. c. 10, and has yet many years to run. They have, as remuneration for their trouble in the management of the various stocks, the sum of 6450 per million. The plea that the Bank sets up is, that Fauntleroy transferred, by a false power of Attorney, this stock to another party ; but be could not see what right they had to refuse the present transfer ; for whatever the actions of Fauntleroy might have been, they ought not to affect the present parties, as this money was never accounted for to the firm. His Lordship observed, that as this case was a very important point of law, be thought it must be considered as a special case, and therefore it would be better to send it to a higher tribunal. Ilow - ever, in the course of examination, it would be seen what measures would be best. A copy from the Bank of England book was then given in. The stock at issue was entered in the Long Annuities on the 15th of October, 1808. Mr. Oawes ' cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Bosanquet for the defendant, deposed that he was the chief accountant to the Bank of England. There was a distinct set of ledgers for each stock, and the propriet3re names are always entered. They invariably make use of this ledger before any transfer is made, to see if the names correspond. When a transfer is made, a double entry is made in the ledger, and each party is debited with their respective stock. These accounts are balanced every six months, to ascertain the amount of dividends due upon each stock ; this is always done one month previous to the sums becoming due, and the return is sent to the Audit-office of the Exchequer, in order that they may issue the sum required for the payment. Once a year an account is transmitted to the Exchequer, containing the names of the pro prietors of each stock, an also duplicates of the amount of their stock and dividends. The stock of Sir E. and Josias Stracey is entered in the ledger, folio 4777, for the amount of £605 ils. 2d. in October, 1808. Ot. the 23d June, 1820, a transfer wu entered in the name of Gilbert Burringtou, for the sum of £605 I ls. 2d. the number of the transfer was 4657, U. 58. This purports to be a transfer from E. and Josias Stracey to the said Gilbert Burring. ton, executed by Henry Fauntleroy, attorney to Edward and Jo sias Stracey. When a transter is made it is brat seen if the stock stands in the ledger; it is then entered in the transfer-book, and no further investigation takes place as to the authenticity of the transfer ticket. Thomas Linton. a stock-broker's clerk, cross-examined by Mr. Kelly, stated, that on ars 2..:th of May last he made out a tran.ter by order of Sir Edward Stracey, to a person of the name of Alder, for £302 15s. 7d Long Annuities at 19 7-16 ;on app cation at the Bank the clerk told him that no stock stood in the name of Stra. cey, and referred him to Mr. Dawes, who sent for Mr. Fres !lliad, the Solicitor to the Bank. The defence consisted of three grounds :—Firit, that Josiah Henry Sttacey, the partner in the banking-house, must have been taken to have a knowledge of the transfer in ; secondly, that if he did not know it, it was the result of culpable negligence on his part in not attending to the affair* of the banking•bouse ; and thirdly, that the plaintiff had conformed to an agreement which was in tact a bar to this action. '!be LORD CHIC, JIATICS, in summing up, obrerviAl, that both the plaintiffs and defendant had agreed that a special verdict should be taken, and that the case should go before a superior Court.— The Jury would therefore only bare to decide on the two first gri.unds of defence, which were the only vestions of fact. The third ground of defence would be submitted to the consideration of the highest court in the kingdom, and as it WAS a written instru ment, that court riuld decide oa the whole cas e , a t t h e ta m e time taking into consideration the finding of the Jury in the pre sent rise. • • Tut Jury retired, and after ball an hour's consultation, returned a verdict-," On ihu.fir-t ground, that nehher of the plaintiffs knew of the transfer having been made in lint); and on the second ground, that there Was negligence on the part of Josias H. Siracey, arising from a want of knowledge of business." The case occupied till half-past five o'clock. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, Oct. 29. These Sessions commenced this morning before the Right Hots. the Loin MAYOR, the Sheriffs (Messrs. 11)CMAILDOCIN and WAan,) Aldermen Sir CoAacza FLowia and Noma, the itmoann., the Common Szarcaor, and Mr. SEUZANT Aunt. The presiding Judges were, Sir JAM= A. PAUL and Baron Sir Wm. GAIIIIOW. George Claremont, mariner, was indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of Richard Yeo, a cloak and other articles of wearing apparel, value el. the property of Mr. William Nicholson. The prosecutor took up Ms residence in the month of March lust, at the Manchester Coffee House, Manchester-street, Mary 'clone. In May he went out of town, and left in the care of Mr. Yen, the landlord of the house, sundry articles of wearing apparel named in the indictment. The property was locked up in a drawer in the prosecutor's bed-room, which was occupied by the prisoner for a few nights dunng Mr. Nicholson's absence. The prisoner had very little luggage, but was on several occasions ob served by the waiter and daughter of the landlord to carry bundles out of the house, which lie quitted on Friday evening the sth June, shortly after which time the stolen property was missed. On the lit October the " Boot Jack" of the house met the prisoner near the Prince Regent public-house, :11arylebone. He then denied aver having been at the Manchester Coffee House, and refused to go there, saying he bad other business to attend to, having been abroad for the previous eight months. The prisoner was then given into the custody of Wm. Tyson, one of the New Police constables. The prisoner, in defence, admitted having been at the coffee house, but said he did not recollect it by name when accosted by the Boots,wis charged him with having been at the house in April instead of June. Mr. Justice Year, in summing up the evidence, said the Jury must acquit the prisoner of the capital part of the charge, it not being proved that be had taken property above the value of 61. at one time from the dwelling-house. The Jury, after a few minutes consultation, returned a verdict of " Not Guilty." John Duffy was indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of William Greenway, a watch case, a clock cue, and other pro- perty. The prosecutor, a labouring man, rented a room at Camden Town. On the 434 of September he went from home, and after locking his room door, placed the key so as to be found by his wife, who, on coming home, discovered the room had been entered through the window, and stripped of every portable article. The case was clearly proved against the prisoner, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty—Death. Martha Geary, aged 40, was indicted for stealing, on the 13th of July, two sheets, twenty-two table cloths, and other articles, the property of the Earl of Aberdeen. Mr. L iz stated the case for the prosecution. . . Edward hi' Garth—l am Secretlry to the Athenaeum Club. The Trustees of the Club are the Earl of Aberdeen, Earl Bathurst, and ' Sir Thomas Lawrence. Mr. C. Pnicuos for the prisoner, took a legal objection to the indictment, which described the stolen articles as the property of the " Earl of Aberdeen," instead of the full Christian and surname of the Noble Lord. He said that it bad been considered necessary in the deed by which the Noble Earl was appointed trustee, to give • such description. Witness re-called—The present Earl of Aberdeen was Earl of Aberdeen on the 13th of July. Mr. Justice PARC did not consider the objection sufficiently valid to stop the case. Witness continued—The prisoner at the bar was appointed house keeper to the club about five years since. The linen intrusted to her charge was entered in a book. The prisoner had nu right to dispose of linen that is worn out. A put of the linen is marked " Society," and a part " Athenzam." Crou-exambied by Mr. C. Pruwes—l have marked off a part of the linens's `" old and unfit" for use. The stolen property was so marked. The prisoner had a good character from General Stapleton. I have been Secretary since 1824, which was before the prisoner came. Other witneues were ulled who gave similar evidence, and the purchase of the linen from the prisoner was proved. The Jury found a verdict of AO Guilty. The prisoner was again indicted for stealing nine sheets, fourteen pillow cases, and nine towels, the property of Gen. Stapleton, value £5 and upwards. General Stapleton deposed that the prisoner had lived in his ser vice about six years, in the capacity of housekeeper. She quitted his service in June 1825, and shortly after went to the Atheneum Club House. In the October following, he (witness) was given to understand that a quantity of sheets, pillow-cases, and other pro. perry was missing. After the prisoner was apprehended, witneu went to Marlborough-street Police-office, and he there saw the articles produced, which be believed to be part of the stolen pro perty. They bore his mark. Ballard produced the property which he bad found in the pri soner's box. The prisoner, In her defence, said she was so frightened when she was taken up that she scarcely knew what she said or did. The sheets and other articles were given to her by Mrs. Stapleton. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty of stealing under the value of £5. Mr. Justice Pant said, the conduct of the prisoner was most scandalous, both to her late and present employers; the sentence of the Court would therefore, probably, be as severe as the law would allow in cases where servants so grossly pillaged their em ployers. Mr. Justice Pasu afterwards requested the Jury to alter their verdict, as from the time at which the robbery was committed, their finding would amount to a capital conviction. They there fore would return a verdict of stealing under the value of 40s. The Jury immediately adopted the Learned Judge's suggestion. Franc* Hartwell was indicted for stealing three stomach pumps, value £6, the property of John Reed and James Scutt. John Read has a partner named Scott—they live at Regent Circus—he is the patentee of the stomach pump. On the 21st of September receives' a letter, and in consequence delivered a stomach pump, and also gave a note requiring to know what sort of truss was wanted. On the following day he received another letter, with the particulars required, and the truss was sent. Subsequently, received several other notes, containing orders for pumps and trusses ; in consequence of some suspicion, be sent to knew if there was such a person as MI6 the party supposed to have written the first letter received; and the result of the inquiry was, that nu one of that name resided at the place stated in the letter. The orders received after the first were all in the same hand-writing. It is customary with his firm to enclose a prospec tus, and book describing the rculiat ides of their discoveries, and they were sent with the articles in question. This witness underwent a very long cross examination by Mr. C. ['mums wbo, when on the point respecting his custom of sending the prospectus and book when be executed an order, said (pulling a book out of his pocket), " Why you see I have one of your books." Witness—Yes, and a great many more gentlemen have them. Mr. C. Pstrucis—Ah ! but I never purchased one of your pumps, and yet you see I have one of your kooks. Witness—No, Sir, perhaps not ; and I hope you will never re quire one. (Laughter.) Mr. C. Putiurs—l hope not, Sir, indeed. A number of other witnesses were called, and proved that the prisoner had pawned stomach pumps and sold the duplicates, and that there was found on his person two keys, one of which opened the outer door of the house that he lodged at in Golden-lane. and the other a closet in his room, wherein was found one of the prosecutor's prospectuses. After the case had occupied the Court for a considerable time, Mr. Serjeant Amin thought that the evidence only went to establish a case of fraud, and having consulted with the Learned Judges thereon, and they being of the same opinion, the prisoner was acquitted, as well on this, as two other indictments, but was ordered to be detained. John P4illtps was indicted for stealing a guitar, the property of George Rathmacher, ot the value of £5. The case was clearly proved, and the Jury returned a verdict of Williams Richard Smith. aged 24, stood indicted for stealing €45 in Bank of England notes, the property of Stephen WillianAtiung, his master. The prosecutor stated that lie is a solicitor; residing in Poland. street, Oztord-street. Prisoner had been his clerk, and on the ot July last, he gave him nine Bank of England notes (or five pounds each, to pay into his bankers, Me . Goslings and Cu. Flea-street. The prisoner did not return, and he directed Goddard, the officer, to look out for him. The money was never paid into the bankers. The prisoners had lived whh him about four months. The case was clearly proved, and the Jury tound bias Guilty. . The prosecutor humanely recommended him to mercy. Thomas Turvey. aged 58, was indicted capitally fur stabbing Richard Painter, with intent to kill or do him some grievous bodily harm. Richard Paicter stated that he was a labourer, and that on the evening of the alleged offence, he was in.the tap-room of the Rose and Crown public-house, in Westminster. Witness 'toad up to light his pipe, and a drunken coal-heaver shoved him against the prisoner. who was standing near, endeavourin i to stall to the com pany some baked potatoes. The prisoner bad a knife in his hand; and struck witness with it in the arm. Witness was wounded but not materially injured. Mr. Ballow GA MOW triAl.be thought kienneeenary to carry th CAW any farther, as it was cisme dot Ruthless like malice could .b proved. The Jury sequins's{ the priimber• ,lacers Afitchell, aged is, labourer, was eapitally indicted fo stealing a suit of clothes, and a great coat, the property of Samue The prosecutor and prisoner, it appeared, lodged in the same room, in a house in Gray's Inn-lane. The prosecuror went out early one morning, leaving the prisoner in bed, and on returning in the evening, be missed the articles mentioned in the indictment. Some days after the prosecutor met the prisoner, and found in his hat two old handkerchiefs of no value, in which the clothes wer e wrapped up. These handkerchiefs were fully ideotiled, and al though the clothes were not forthcoming, the Jury found the pri soner Gitiffy—Death. The following was capitally convicted :—Sarah Oxley, aged 17.
