'UNIT Mau.. Esti was railed to the ('hair, and Mr. AWOOD opened the bu•iIIPSS by stating. that utt the 7th of July last, the guarai.s its of the poor in this township, appointed a pull - immiitt e to inquire iato the poesy:it increase of pauperism, with a view to check its growth. This Committee had made a re•,,ort, a hich bad already been published, and the result of all their inquiries was, that the last anti only source of employment was the cul;ivation of the soil. From this appointment also gaittatesl Ake ileot!tation to New Lanark, and one of the results of that mission has been the separation of the n children, in tlr workhouse. .luau the coutaini uating influence aidair. fataaa hass.c.lose a confect with 6.4 10 $ iwaN it a t i f s4 . the Intl-eduction of stem&m ierthelr &hire PtfhilsTeis iu life. This alteration, though not completed, is now in se, and Its beneficial effects will no doubt he felt, jib rjib respect to the cultivation of the soil, Parliament has granted a power to townships to rent or purchase Wad, to the amount of twenty acres, for the employ ment of their poor, and this quantity, though small *hen considered with relation to the extent of this township, might serve for the purpose of an experiment. experiments of this kiwi he found to answer, the Legislature would, no donht, pay a ready attention In say representations made to them, founded upon facts, which can he obtained alone by prartice, atol might be induced to enlarge the means of employing the poor in the rultiratton of the earth. It could not be conrealed that there were difficulties in the way, but the esperi. went might he made without notch trouble, and with little risk. After some other observations, on the policy 'of timploying the poor, rather than suffering then, to eat the bread/ idkeess. Mr. Cawood concluded by movitw "'le , • ' "Th s t the flberehwardens and Overseers of the l'one of Leeds be empowered to rent 20 acres of land for the emplorment of the poor, or to re-let the same, in any quantity, to the poor, for that purpose, agreeable to the Act of a4lien. 111. cap. 12." Mr. &tees seconded the motion, and said, that it was intended to apply to this twenty acres of bond the system of spade hnshandry, and if eath acre, by the mode of cultivation, death, yield from twenty to thirty bushels of grain more than when the plough was sled; as the experiments of Mr. Falls, and other practi cal agricalterallets, seemed to promise, increased em ployment wouitl be afforded to the poor, and the addi tinfoil expense would be amply re-paid by the surplus produce of the land. The increase of productive labour for the poor, he considered as the grand desideramos at which persons intrusted with the management of paro chial concerns ought to aim, and this incipient experi ment must be understood nano humble effort towards the attainment of that most desirable object. The motion was then put, and carried ananinumsty and the Oentlernen present, conversant in the manage ifrot of land, as well as any of the other inhabitants of Ws town, were invited to aid the Committee in their new undertaking, by transmitting to them at the Board room, any written observations they might think prOper to suggest for their government; and as no seitable si tuation, where the requisite qnantity of land was to he had, bad yet been determined upon, Information on Wit subject' was also invited. Leeds, it was said, had lately taken a prominent part in making inipArink into the etwidiliso of the poor, and as the eyes twilit of other parishes, and of the Lesislature itself, were upon us, conselneners the most important to tile tommusity Might, and probably would ensue, either by encouraging others to follow our example, if we sueere . 46l, or Ire ills etiuraging them from embarkingin undertitkingi if we failed.

The de fence set lip to the action was, that the timber was not sold to the defendant, hut to a man named Gash*, the son-in-law of the defendant, and that the defendant had done no more than 'limey it in his cart from the plain tiffs' timber-yard, for the use of that person. Solomon Cilia's stated, that in the year 1!411, he had been building sever..l houses near Highgate; that he bad purchased several lots of timber from the plaintiffs; that Ate anther in question was sold to him on his own cre dit by the plaintiffs, and not to the defendant, who slimly conveyed it for him in his cart.

POLICE. rt t.ttllALL.—Yesterday Fdawrii Pollen, describing himself of No. 3, Johnson's-court, Fleet-street, was brought up bb a warming from one of the officers of St. Ilunstati's purists. on 'charge of obtaining money under false pretences. The prisoner, who had pretended to be an attorney, is one of those pests of society who, under the mask of giving advice and assistance in legaCaffairs, contrive to entrap and defraud the unwary, and gene rally lead them into greater &Scotties than those trees which they undertake to extricate them. The prosecution in this ease was takes up by the Late Society, fur the lendable purpose of putting a atop, if possible, to surto iniquitous proceedings; and Mr. Anderton. of No. ti, Inner Temple-lane, their Secretary, attended to conduct the ramie against the prisoner, the circumstances of which were the following :-- A poor Italian, of the name of Itenes, carrying on business is a mail way as a musical-ins; tttttt at So.

Patten, with !mat sand /raid, said nothing was easier, and for 41. he would undertake to pm off the further proeeedi fill November; this was in July la•t. lie accordingly gave 21. to Patten immediately, - for the pur pose, as ;he liktter stated, to bespeak the writ, and was told that he trust be prepared to give hint the other 21. before one o'clock on the next day hut one, or the first 21. would be but. With touch difficulty, the poor client scraped together the money, and by Cf.. time appointed presente.l his *pi:posed attorney with another 11. note. and sit ter *.) the amount o(201., un tereiving which Pittira said, •• it is all safe now, you ma• go . !snow. and I'll call on you' when it is necessary,`' um ithltanding this IlbotTiotte, Woes 6 1 1114 taken hf etibenti on thrkerdays afterwards, and conveyed to the Marshalsea prison.

VIP evidence of Hades being deemed necessary, the Magistrate was about to remand flow prisoner till his at tendance should be procured , Mitten begged, as the offence was only a misdemeanor, to be permitted to go et lame, promieing to attend at any appointed thin.; to this Mr. Anderton objected, as the prisoner hail already broken his word with the officer, having promised to attend at the Jo:like-room last Wednesday, since which nothing had been heard of him till he was apprehended; but as the Setsions were so near he was content that the prisoner should pot in hail, and he (Mr. A.) wools' pro core the furtherevidence necessary, and go imuaediately before the Wawa Jnry.
