MEETIIVG OF POSTMASTERS. Oa Wednesday a General Meeting of the Society of United P os tmasters took place at the Freemasons' Tavern. filr. EDWARD WniTE in the ('hair. Frain the Report it appeared, that notwithstanding the clearness and simplicity of the new Law for regulating the Post-horse Duties. v ary attempts had been made by the fanners of those duties, in va rious parts of . the country, to pervert i!s meaning, for sinister p u rposes ; and, in Or4er to inistrate such attempts, it strongly re mtnruerided the appointment o!' an officer, with a permanent salary, to whom all members of the So ciety . might apply in cases of doubt or dif fi culty ; whose ditty it should be to communicate with the cfficers of Government upon matters which might require their interposition. This recommendation was unanimously adopted, and the Chairman was immediately elected to fill the office. A great number of Postmasters attended from the most distant parts if the country. The Cum ILMAN addressed the Meeting, stating that they owed theme* 1318 relating to their trade to the alteration in the ('abinet. Mr. Robinson having framed the new Act for their relief, c hich Mr. Vanaittarl had repeatedly premier-J. Mr. Sykes, the Solicitor of the stamps; had also given very powerful assistance to the trade. Two hundred and fifty sat down to an excellent dinner at four o'clock ; MT. White in the Chair. The healths of the several no blecuen and gentlemen who were mentioned in the proceedings as basing assisted the Society, were drunk with enthusiasm, and a very 11113001 DOUR meeting was passed.

FROM LLOYD'S LIST. The brig Hebe, Captain Tnst, His arrived at Plymouth from Para, having been prevented from landing her outward cargo at that place, in consequence of the subjoined communication from the B r itish Vice-C onsul The British inhabitants had left Para tor Barbad.ses:— " Silt—Having received an assurince from the Government of this place, that it considers the lives and properties of British sub ts in peril, on the departure of the frigate Impends and brig' Maranhao, and its refusal to guarantee their safety, I consider it my duty to inform you thereof: and that, if you think tit to re• main in this port after the milting of those vessels, being thus lip prised, the responsibility of such act most devolve on yourself.

" To Captain Trim, of the Helm" The English are all gone to Barbados in the brig Mary and Ellen, taken by the authcnty of the Consul to convey the British suk i ects in Para to some port of safety. The reason of all this arises from the evil-minded having spread a report that the 258 Aetna, who were put on board a ship in the river in October last, were suffocated by sulphur, and that the English, who took an *cure part in quelling the disturbance, were the cause of their deaths, for by them they won disarmed% in consequence it was deteemined to revenge their deaths on all English indiscriminately.

Ile was the Governor of Alicant, the last fortress ceded to the French, he having maintained himself several days after the surrendering ;of Carthagena, Peniscola, and Barcelona itself. *He pledged himself to be the last to yield, and be kept his word. Sir William Curtis, from the most recent intelligence, is at Malta, where he has been detained some weeks, on account of the Algef.ne corsairs who are hovering round in all directions. Letters from Madrid, of the 7th of April, state, that several arrests had taken place at Valladolid, in conse quence of a conspiracy having been detected in that town, but no disastrous events had occurred. Lettere. from .St. Peteralnirgh, of the 26th of March, state, that tho Emperor's health is entirely reestablished, and that he rides- out doily in the environs of his capital. Ve the 23d ult. the anniversary of the Emperor's ascend ing the throne was celebrated with great pomp. Colonel Bsscon has returned to St. Petersburgh from Berlin, where he went on an important mission. THE RECENT 14:1.0PLM ENT FROM BRUSSEL/ie.-WC con fess we were not a little surprised at Deadlier in several cf the Metrotrolitan Morning Papers, the following most in accurate statement relative to Mr. Robinson, with whom Miss Benetton eloped, and to whom she was soon after wards married at Gretna-green :—" The gentleman is not a inn of any family or fortune; but he was lucky enough to gain admission to the house of the young lady's mother, and successfully employed his time, as to secure the young lady's affections in a short time." We say nothing about the " toereere" of the concluding sentence, but we feel called upon, from our knowledge of the circumstances, to declare that Mt. Robinson's family is of the utmost re spectability, and has been for many years most intimately cannected by intermarriages with many of the most ancient aid wealthy families of Scotland. Indeed, so unexcep tionable did the marriage appear to the highest legal autho rity of the realm, that on the profimma appearance in the Court of Chancery of 11r. Robinson, and his fair bride, who is a ward of that Court, not the slightest objection was even hinted at, and in the proposed disposal of the lady's fortune, the Court instantaneously and cheerfully concurred.—Cheresrhom Chrogiek. RI centre, LI. est t• is.—The large room in Willis's pre sented the usual numerous and distinguished audience yes- 1 terday, to hear Alt. Nl`Culloch's fourth lecture. In the last Lecture be had explaintsl that the productiveness of industry depen d ed on the accumulation of capital, and that the accumulation of capital depended on the pro ductiveness of ituln-try -r the profits of stock. In Jr/epee/atm as capital ',VHS increased and properly applied, industry was extendvd:uul rendeied more productive: from the profits of this itultz•try canital was again further in credited. The public burdens and the security of property being equal, the profits of stock were the true criterion of the comparative prosperity of States. Every individual would employ his capital in that department of industry which yielded the greatest profit, and this was the best, and might to be the only guide in the application of capital. But Dr. Smith, Mr. 31altlins, and others, had maintained , that capital was most advantageously employed in agricul- ' Lure. both for the labourers and for the public. This (Tinian it was the object of the Lecture to prove unfoundtsl. Speaking of the comparative salubrity of agriculture and Manufacture, the Lecturer observed, it could not be doubted that manufactures had been greatly increased in this country since 1790, yet the average mortality was greatly dimintabed. In te:l u the average mortality was one in fifty-three ; in lie),o, out. in fifty-seven ; hut 611790 it was one in forty. The Lecture was received throughout with greet admiration. The next will be delivered Monday nest; it-trill be on Money. MEMOIRS OF CAPTAIN ROCK, THE CELEHEATFO IRISPI CHIEFTAIN I WITH SOUR ACCOUNT OF HIS ANCESTORS. WRITTEN IT HIMSELF. There is no example in the history of nations in which the interests of the many have been so com pletely sacrificed to the venal supremacy of the few, • as in Ireland : there is no example of the rights of millions of Br ilixll 'Oka, being so thoroughly and so treacherously abandoned to the aggrandizement of aristocratic faction. This system of rancorous °ppm- I Sion has been, from time to time, exposed with all the i powers of eloquence, and assailed with all the strength of reason. Fox, GRATTAN, CURRAN, BURKE, with a long list of men to whose names both countries may refer with honourable pride, have bent the whole force of their talents to advocate the cause of that ill-fated country, and to pro cure the balance of justice to be held with an equal hand. Their labours have been but little productive; the scene of oppression and resistance, with heartless proscription on the one side, and hopeless revenge on the other, has gone on till it can go on no longer; and unless the authority of Go vernment interposes vigorously, and with effect, things will infallibly take a course the result of which it is tearful to contemplate. But our attention is called at present to the " Memoirs ty*CAPTAIN Rues. " This invincible Chieftain, in whose name so many ra vages have been committed, appears at length in the field of literature. He is a formidable champion, whatever shape ho assumes, and both as a warrior and a wit he makes an equally dreadful descent upon the enemy. It would be capricious to call upon so useful an auxiliary to produce the registry of his birth or the record of his com p mission. We will take him as we find him. Whether he ; owes his energy to pmtieal inspiration or to bowls of whis key, it matters not to us; his reasoning is not, on either account, the less powerful, or his wit the leas pointed. Without calling, therefore, for his pedigree, we will look to his pretensions • and first, to the mode by which his manuscript fell, by good fortune, into the hands of the individual to whom the public arc indebted for its pub licity : la the small town of —, where I reside, in the West of England, some pious persons succeeded, the year before last, in establiid,ing a society on the model of the Home Alissianary in London; with this diKrence, that the labours of the latter are principally confined to England, while ours were chiefly, if not exclusively, d'.-ected to the caniversion and illumination of the poor benighted Irish. The ladies dour town, in particular, were so impressed with the urgency of raising that unfortunate race from darkness, that every moment of delay in sending missionaries among them, appeared, as it were, an age lost to the good cause. " What could be more perative," they asked, " than the claims of those destitute souls upon us? If the county of Worcester, which has hitherto been accounted the Garden of England, is now (as the Report of the (10114 Missionary assures us) be.ome, for want of preachers, 'a waste and a howling wilderness,' what must the mountains of Macgillicuddy be ?" In this temper of our little community, it was my lot to be singled out—as knowing more of Catholic countries than the rest, from haring passed six weeks of the preceding summer at Boulogne—to undertake the honourable, but appalling task of Missionary to the South of Ireland. To hint anything of my personal fears to the ladies (all Chris tians as they were), was more than I had the courage to verdure. As a brave man once said, to excuse himself for not refusing some coxcomb's challenge, " I might safely trust to the judgment of my own sex, but how should I appear at night before the maids of honour ?" Our missionary elect accordingly prepares himself to execute the errand of these pious sisters, and having qua lified himself for the work of regeneration, and bring equipped with an ample supply of Religious Tracts for the edification of the Whiteboys, he sets forth on his journey.' 'The adventure which ultimately - ..qt him in possession of these Memo, as, is narrated with a felicity that does not admit of abridgment ; we must give it entire : With the details of my journey to Dublin I shall not troublel the reader, nor with any account of the curiosities which I witneoed ' during my short stay H in that city. I visited, of course, the Parlia ment }louse, which is a melancholy emblem of departed greatness. In the House of Lords, the only relic of its former pomp is a frag ment of an old chandelier, which they show mournfully to ::rangers, as "the last remaining branch of the Aristocracy"--and the part of this structure which wee the House of Commons, is, since the Union, by a natural transition, converted into a Cash office. Having received all propermattuctions from the manager of the Religious Tract Establishment in Sackville-street (to whom ou. fellow-labourers of the London Tavern had consigned me), I left Dublin in the Linweiek wadi, on the 11th of July, 18W, in com pany with a gentleman who wore green spectacles and a fl :en wig, and who was, In many other respects, • very extraordinary per sonage. As he was one of those people who prefer monologue to dialogue, be talked through the whole journey, and I listened to him with exemplary patience. The first place of any note, on our way, was Nsas, near which there is the ruin of& magnificent house, begun, but never finished, by Lord Strafford, when Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. In pointing it oat to me, my friend in the green spectacles said, " It is melan. choly to think, that while, in almost all other countries, we find his voice, names of heroes and benefactors familiarly on the lips of the common people, and handed down with bleasings from generation to generation, in Ireland, the only remarkable names of the last six hundred years that have survived in the popular traditions of the country, are become words of ill-omen, and are remembered only ' to be cursed. Among these favourites of hate, the haughty no. Wyman who built that mansion, is to this day, with a tenacity that does honour even to hate, recorded ; and, under the name of Black Tout ' still haunts the imagination of the peasant, as one of those dark and evil beings who tormented the land in former days, and with whom, in the bitterness of his heart, he compares its more modern tormentors. The Babylonians, we are told by Ilerodotus, burled their dead in honey—hut it i s in th e v e r y gall of the heart that the memory of Ireland' s r u l ers i s embal me d. From his use of metaphors, and abuse of the Government, I should have concluded that my companion was a genuine Irish man—even if the richness of his brogue had not established his, claim to that distinction. In riming by the town of Kildare, he directed my attention to the still existing traces of the ruin anti havoc which were produced by the events of the year 17911--" one of those ferocious rebellions las he expressed himself) whose frequent recurrence has rendered Ireland, even in her calmest moments, lice those fair cities oa the aide of Vesuvius, but a tenant at will to the volcano on which she is placed !" ' Is not this singular ?" he added, " is not this melancholy ? That, while the progress of time produces a change in all other nations, the destiny of Ireland remains still the same ; that here we still find her, at the end of so many centuries, struggling, like felon, on her wheel of torture—never advancing, always suffering —her whole existence one monotonous round of agony While a principle of compensation is observable throughout the fortunes of all the rest of mankind, and they who enjoy liberty must pay fur it by struggles, and they who have sunk into slavery, have, at least, the consolation of tranquillity—in Mk unhappy country it is only the nil of each system th t is perpetuated--eternal struggles, with. out one glimpse of freedom, and an unrcluing immure of power, without one moment of consolidation or repose !' At Roseres, about half way between Dublin and Limerick, I parted with this gentleman, having, in the course of conversation, communicated to him the object of my journey to the south, at which, I observed, he smiled rather significantly. Front Rosettes I turned off the main road to pay a visit to an old friend, the Rev. Mr. —, whom I found comfortably situated in his new living, with the sole drawback, it is true, of being obliged to barna& his house of an evening, and having tittle embrasures in his hall-door to fire through at unwelcome visitors. In the neighbourhood of my friend's house there are the ruins of a celebrated abbey, which stand, picturesquely enough, on the beaks of the river, and are much resorted to by romantic travellers. A wish had, more than once, occurred to me to see the effect of these ruins by moonlight; but the alarming indications of the gun holes in the hall-door had prevented me from entertaining any serious thoughts of such an enterprise. On the third evening of my stay, however, the influence of the genial " mountain dew,"which lily Reverend host rather bound. fully dispensed, so far prevailed over my fears and my prudence, that I sallied forth, alone, to visit these ruins. Of my walk I have no very clear recollection. I only remember that from behind the reneralle walls, as I approached tbem, a eon feted murmur arose, which startled me fur a moment—but all again was silent, and I cautiously proceeded. Just then a dark aloud happened to flit over the moon, which, added to the effects of the " mountain dew," prevented me front seeing the objects be fore me very distinctly. I reached, however, in safety the great portal of the abbey, and passing through it to the bank which overhangs the river, found myself all at once, ..c) my astonishment and horror (the moon at that moment breaking out of a cloud), in the midst of some hundreds of awful-looking persons, all sr rayed in white shirts, and ranged in silent order on each side to re , olive raw! This sight sobered me comFletelv—l wu ready to si n k w i t h terror—when a voice, which, I could observe, proceeded from a tall man with a plume of white feathers in his hat, said, sternly, " Pass on ,” and J, of course, promptly obeyed. Though there was something in the voice, that seemed rather familiar to my ears, it was not without exceeding horror that I perceived the figure that spoke, advance out of the ranks, and slowly follow me. We had not gone many steps, when I politely motioned to hint to take precedence—not feeling quite comfortable with such& goblin after went before, end h av i ng con d ucte d met no'eas, Ile,pot,i ac sun c' te rd d in n gly tanle from the hand, where we could not be observed by them, turned hastily round, and took me, with much cordiality, by the hand. I now perceived—witat the reader must have anticipated—tha this personage was no other titan the disguised gentleman in green spectacks ; nor was it long before I learned, from his own lips, that I then actually stood in the presence of the great Captain Rock. What towed between the Vaptain and m e at that interview, 1 do not feel myself, as yet, at liberty to reveal. I eon wily Ewe that it was in the course of that short meeting, luprieseted with the manuscript which I have now the honour Outbuilding HI the public—requesting of me, as a favour, that I would read it at. ' teutively over, befote I threw away tir.y further labour or thought I upon the mission which I had undertaken. I lost no time, as may easily be supposed, in complyi ng w ith the Captain's wish. That very night, before I slept, I car e fully perused the whole of his manuscript; and so strong was the int pressiun it left upon my mind, that it in the rulers, tot the people of Ireland, who require to be instructed and converted, that I or dered horses early the next morning —returned with all possible dempstrit to my constituents—called instantly a full meeting of the ladies cf the society., and proposed that a new mission should forth with be instituted, for the express purpose of enlightening certain dignitaries both of church and slam, who are, in everything that relates to Ireland, involved in the most destitute darkness. The style is attractive and lively, but it conveys moat impressive and interesting truths. The Government of Ireland is riot, nor ever has been, administered on the principles of impartial protection: it never has, aid, while so perverted, it neva will, beget either attachment to the Sovereign or allegiance to the State. It is a Government maintained, at an enormous expense to this country, to support a ruling fiteletin, who care not what injustice they inflict, or what resistance they excite, so long as they can obtain an aemed . fipree strong enough to enable them to maintain their monopoly if patroitugc, and set resentment at donance. Iniheiollowing passage there is an admirable mixture of humour and sarcasm : With respect to the moral character of my ancestors in the times of 01lam Fodlah and Brian Borornhe, there is no doubt that, however suppressed or modified, it must have been pretty much the same that it is at present. The Groat Frederick used to say, that while the French tight for glory, the Spaniards for religion, and the En li sh for liberty, the Irish are the only people in the world who htihr As; and, however true this may be of my countrymen in geneial, there is no doubt of its perfect correctness as applien to the Rock family in particular. Iliseotd is, indeed, our natural element; like that stortn-loving animal, the seal, we are coinfiwtable only in a tempest; and the object of the following historical and biographical sketch is to show how kindly the Eng. lish Government has at all dam consulted our taste in this pant. cular--rninistering to our Idft of riot through every successive reign, front the invasion of Henry 11. down to the present day, so as to leave scarcely an interval, during the whole sir hundred years, in which the Captain Hoek for the time might not exclaim— " Quit regio in terris nosti non plena laboris?" or, as it has been translated by one of my family— Through Leinster, Lister, Connaught, itlunster, Rock's the boy to make the fun stir - I The writer intimates, with great truth, that it has been the usual policy of conquerors and colonsts to blend them selves as much as possible with the people among whom they establish themselves--to erect their new govermnent, not on the narrow foundation of party systems, but on a basis so wide and comprehensive, as to embrace ti , e inte rests of the whole, and so to consolidate those interests as to make submission a willing duty. Had our English conquerors adopted this ordinary policy, the respectable family of the Backs might never have been heard of ; a few dozen rebellions would have been lost to the page of history ; and Archbishop Magee would not, perhaps, at this moment, have been throwing six millions of people into convulsions with an antithesis. The ascendancy of the Oaswc c . faction has always been attended by warfare and dissension, and for the plainest of el reasons, because they have always alienated the mass of the Irish people from the Government, by withholding from them the benefits of the Constitution. By the pre-enn nence of power they have put down the cove' eighty of jus tice. Ireland has paid the highest price for the mainte nance of liberty, and received nothing in return but oppres sion and misrule. We cannot abstain from quoting the conclusion of the second chapter : I had almost forgot to mention,—though of the utmost import ance in a history of our family,—that to the occupation of Ireland by the English we are supplied to be in a great degree indebted for the first regular introduction of the blessed system of tithes. Among the bribes, by which the prelates of Ireland were induced to yield obedience to die bull of Adrian, and surrender the sovereignty of their country to henry 11., was that article of reformation (as It Was called), passed by the synod of Cashel, which enjoined the payment of tithes I/ the laity, .a mode of tax ation till then. it seems, hardly known in Ireland. Mr. O'Bal loran, i: is true, asserts the contrary : and even represents the ancient Irish to have been such exemplary tithe payers, that they not only coutvibuted a teeth of their corn and cattle to the church, but threw every tenth child*, as a make-weight, into the bargain,— a smelts of stualt-tlibe, by the bye, whieh in th e present anstfi id the population of Ireland, and the ensemdtre wealth of the Irish church, it might not be unadvisable to restore to the parson. Mr. O'Halloran, however, is not always to be depended upon; and, in addition to other 4dence, we have lately had the es pressed opinion of a Latasa'bod Right Reverend Roman Catholic Prelate, that the payment of tithes, as a regular and compulsory due, may be dated from the period to whit'!" I have referred it. Honour and praise then to the Synod of Cashel, for having planted among us this additional apple of discoid, which, unlike the apples of Mr. Andrew Knight, iiss neither changed in elm. meter, nor degenerated in layout ; but, by the aids of the Orange, and other wholesome fruits, still blooms in the garden of the Rocks with undiminished strength and fertility! All hail, too, most ancient and venerable tithes, by whatever name ye delight to be called, medial, mixed, or persooal nmy _ye flourish, with yam attendant bteethigs of ',stoat**, itMe-rannere, and ' Bishops' Courts, to the infinite recreation of the Rock family, to the honour and glory of persons Monk, Morgan, dm, and to the maintenance for ever of the Church Alilitant, as by law (and con stables) established in Ireland !

Sit—(laving seen a letter in your paper, signed " No Pawn broker," allow me to say, I fully agree with the author, as to the necessity of investigating the due merits of any public measure be fore its operation is brought into public notice. As far as that gen tleman's observations go they are very appropriate ; but lam of opinion much might have been said against the principle of the measure. It appesrs to me that the very principle upon which the " Equitable Loan Corporation " is Raided, la a dangerous tendency in this mercantile country : how are we to be awed that the legal incorporation of this Society (and its mesas appears very doubtful), is not to be the stepping-stone to a general monopoly? May we not anticipate the members of the Stock Exchange will become the only wholesale traders in the metropolis? And is it " equity," or even policy, to allow 40,000 individuals, without any . responsibility, to attack and annihilate one single branch of trade e I care not whether those persons be pawnbrokers, hankers, brewer,. butchers, bakers, or any other calling ; it is the principle 1 contend against, which, if adopted in this instance, will be equally justified and equally dangerous, if applied to any other branch of trade. By way of illustration, we all know the business of the boot and shoe makers, at this period very lucrative, and by a corporation like the " Equitable," the public might be benefited; the facility and security of conducting the business will secure more beneficial results than the one in question, it being much less intricate, and subject to fewer casualties. The directors will have only to purchase leather at the wholesale market, and the work being uniformly done by the piece, and at stated prices, its opeestion will be vary simple. Thus, under the title of the " Economic Equi table Shoe and root Co mpany,' a corporation may be formed that might make the poor to be better shod, and the opulent supplied upon better terms; and so with the butchers, bakers, drapes., mercers, cam mad as alter. Now upon general principle,withoutregard r ttiz r z particular trade, I do maintain the system is bad, as it regatta „ the public, and ruinous, as it respects . private individuals. The title by which it is ushered into public notice is at variance with theprofested objects; its sponsors have been very unfortunate, or I have been equally so, in ignorance of my mother tongue. " Eouit able" I take to be a virtue emanating from impartial justice, and in the mind of the person professing its practice, a conscientious discharge of his duties to his Cod and to has neighbour. Is it no thing, or, I would may, is it " equitable," by OM sweeping enact ment, to annihilate from society any mu branch of tradesmen, whose whole time has been devoted, whose property has been invested, and whose families depend upon them for support in the business they are conducting? Who are the real contributors to the state What forms the sinews of a country ? Do t!.: former consist only of kin contractors and does the persevering tradesman, the arti san, and the mechanic, form no part of the latter ? Do they not. by their establishments and their expenditures, contribute largely towards our present prosperity ? and can that intended corporation promise half the benefits commensurate with ..he evU such • pre cedent is fraught with ; for when once began, who is to foresee where it may end ? It cannot be imagined the Legis lature will lend themselves to such an Utopia scheme? Th 'beral and en lightened policy of the M embersof our Executive Go ment, who are now directing thtir whole powers against monopolies, will not, cannot, give their countenance to a measure that so manifestly mili tates against their present views. They wiU doubtless refer to past disastrous experience ; and, i, limiter, put a step to an application that may become a precedent to other schemes, , equally se d uct ive, equally visionary, and, in its remits, equally ruinous. This important question &mends the most atoms consideration of every tradesman, and they would do wisely to coins forward in one united body to petition Parliament upon the abject of the bill. It was my intention to have gone into areriew of the hnpracticability of the measure, and also to thew that the philanthrope views of its first projecow may be accomplished without going to Parliament; but probably you will allow me to do that in another address. I cannot, however, close this without introducing the Miles of one of our Poets, too appropriate to need any apology " Most schemes as money-snares - I hate, Aod bite not at projectors' bait ; Sufficient wrecks appear each day, And yet fresh fools are cast away ; Ere well the bubbk has turn'd round, The painted vessel runs aground; Or in deep seas it oversets, By a fierce hurricane of debts.

LIBEL. SALMIS V. CLEMENTS. Mr. nue wry. mated, that this was an action brought bj the plaintiff, to recover a compensation in damage* for the injury he had sustained in big character, front the publication of a false, scandalous. and malicious libel, inserted in the Moods elsrowick of Novemb er the 14th, of which paper the defendant is the ; to. prietor—chargieg Mr. Ilankes, the plaintiff, who is the proprietor of a lace-itiaratfactory at Beriondsey, in the county of Slimy, with cruelty towards the children bound to him by the parish of Mary.la.bonne, as apprentices to work in his manufactory. The Learned Counsel stated the ease to the Jury, and proceeded to call witnesses to prove the facts stated. A person front the Stamp Office was called, who put In the affidavit made by the defendant, of his being the proprietor of the paper. R. J. Chambers, Magistrate of Union Hall, was called.—This gentleman appeared to be labouring under the meat extreme degece of mental and bodily agitation; it was with ditiii ulty he was pre served from fainting whilst giving his testimony, during the whole of Which he was deluged in tears. Witness's testimony was to the following effect:— it. J. Chambers, one of the Magistrates of Union Hall, stated, that on the flith of October last. he accompanied several other Magistrates to an inspection of Mr. Banker's manufactory. He, on that occasion, went over the house, the situatlm of which is very airy ; but be considered the bed.ronms of the children as too much crowded ; and he stated to Mr. Backer, from time to time, as he applied for more apprentices, that he should expect a certifi cate from the parish officers, of hies having room foe the accommo dation of the additional number of children. Cross-examined-wAlefore any children were bound before him, he required of Mr. Bankes to be allowed an inspection of the ma. nufactory ; there was a respectable female who officiated as house keeper or matron, Mr. Bankes being a single man; witness never inspected the manufactory previous to the 27th of Octobera Mr. Henke', previous to the witness Consenting to bind any children to hint, promised that provision should be made for the religious and moral instruction of those infants consigned to his care. Mr. Bankes, brother to the plaintiff, mangled the manufactory for his brother. Previous to August they had no apprentices. in October they had thirty children, ten of whom were bound—five about to be bound from the parish of Mary-la-bonne, and fifteen were upon liking. Of these thirty children one was under ten, but above nine years old t sixteen were turned of tos s and the test older the eldest was fourteen. Previous to the premises being converted into a manufactory they had been used for the accom modation of the children of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum: There was one male attendant in the manufactory, besides the hitness, and ten females. The time of labour was, in the summer, from seven in the morning to eight in the evening; and in winter from eight to eight. Of this time three quarters of an hour was given to breakfast, half an hour to tea, and an hour and a half to dinner. The work was done on a frame with a needle. The work is very cleanly; if the children arc not clean it greatly injured the stork. Their food was, for dinner, meat five days, soup two; for break fast, bread and butter and tea; for supper, breath and cheese. There was no limitation of quantity ; the order to the housekeeper was, that if one child required more titan another she was to have it. Books were provided for them, consisting of Bibles, Teats ments, spelling, and other moral books. They were also taught writing. They were heard to read daily by the housekeeper, till after the 27th of October, when a master was provided for their instruction. On Sundays they went to Church, accoenpsnled by the housekeeper. Two of the children at a time, in rotation, took a week in the kitchen, to give them an opportunity of ac quiring domestic knos ledge. Time was also allowed to them for mending their clothes. On the 27th of October there was a visit of Magistrates at the factory; Mr. Chambers, Mr. Brodrick, Mr. Griffiths, and Mr. Gaitskill, were with them. They were conducted over the manufactory; some of them seemed to ex. press dissatisfaction at a part of the arrangement; this expression was confined to Mr. Grifliths snd Mr. %Vyatt; die latter said some of the children appeared young, aid he thought their stools were too high, and that they bent over their stools more than was con ducive to health. There was no necessity for their stooping at all; whenever they did-so it was from idleness, and witness invariably, on perceiving them do so, corrected the error. Mr. Wyatt might have said something about the window, but witness could not res collect. [The indentures afterwards serif, A by Mr. Cittsudiel ee ld Mr. Ssabey, as Alagiatrates for Surrey, were then put in hoe .l The Honourable and Reverend Edward Tumour—Went titled to the manufactory. the first time srai on the 11th of January, too a Sunday, therefore he did not see the children at work ; they had just dined, and witness was perfectly satisfied with their appetrz: once.

The ATTORNEt•GES URAL here took an objection.

Mr. CA st rmam. submitted that this objection Was lontfli baksmuch as the libel itself asserted that " these apprentkah been taken before o th er Magistrates, and bound in due I law." Here, therefore. *us the declaration of the defendant h self, that they had been bound in due tam of law, and that * the plainti ff now set forth in his declaration, and this illegandp binding was fully proved by the allegation of the defendant In ibe libel. .. . Mr. OttawEr, on the same side, contended that the defestlaties declaration was a full answer O. the objection now urged by hitt Learned Counsel, the Attorney-General. 31r. CHIT l'T followed on the same side. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL contended that the plaintiff hail set forth that all the libel was untrue, and he also stated this Mies gation of bindinf as part of the libel 1 and, thnefore, they meld not noir turn round on their own proof and say that particular pont was true. The Loan Cutts JreTicx was inclined to Lo?d the object tion fatal. His Lordship, however, as te understood, suggested that the better course to be pursued here, in jurtiee to the &hie tiff, after the proof of to-day, would be to withdrawci*. oh • . tar . The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on the prart of the defendant, new ready to say, that at present this factory was carried oa with as great a regard as possible to the comfort and health of the Nita , ' dren employed in it. After the testimony of the magistrates oho had been examined to-day, it would be folly to attempt to deny dee fact. This admission of the present state of the factory his elide* was ready to make to the fullest extent, and ' lie trust* would be sufficient to put an end to farther Rtwwaifep on the subject.
