I ~ 11 )'+ TO THE EDITOR OF TILE BRITISH PRESS. ST. CATHERINE'S DOCKS. 9114 —Your experience of public affairs must render you aware erf ILTeet, Mich others leas versed in them arrive at but late, and eft pi' if at nil. The fact I allude to, is the actual simplicity of ansbjeet of every controversy, when divested of the !link mist 1 by the seal or indiscretion of the interested advocates on artker Mk. Thu, it has fared with the coiestion of the proposed construction u: new Wet Docks at St. Catherine's, and to the delusion thus •t idea can elan be attributed the partial hostility they have t a s h p oro of pl t y w i i g n h h g ic c h lia livi li f ish e P.°Nu es t se pi li d n:t o e i n mi r t e !. ies them. The objection recen tl y made, in an muck in the # 1.1'.:1116 74 : i bnetgi th eitco ß PerkaPan ri s t Frid u n h erced'ed ea sgai., p tt i oh tal neirs , dtgT ful ndas id apply to all the beneficial (nose derived to the public from rival inns, rival coaches, and pm theatres—in short to all that collision of vipital and ingenuity, no less useful to the State than ultimately to the iodrviduils *tandem Thg Apprehension expressed he the same article, that increase of twitter cannot be anucipated, is equally futile : it is matter of notoriety, that every successive insurance Company has created its yob cennexton, and likewise actually incremed the aggregate *Mown of geseral business; thus incidentally benefiting the older establishments. en it will be with the Docks : increased faci. Milk and diminished dues, will soon additional trade to the port el London from futrign ports, and enable the metropolis to regain that urcud commercial pre.trumence which a sales of mi,conduct nal etrivuely affected. Wits a view, therefore, to remove the delusion than prevailing on this subject, and to afford a distinct elucidation of the merits of the ineseure, I am induced to request your imiertion of the follow ing state:neet of facts, from which your readers will be enubled to forts their own conclueiune on the subjert In the tirst place. the whsk opposition to the new docks ema nates tiol3l the London Docks, direclly by the petitinn to Perlin netteof the Director of that Company. mod ittairecile by the in. tame of its numerous body of Proprietors. 411 the other petitions against the new Docks have no other ob ject than to require modifications of clauses, declaring and saving its rights of public bodies, or to tier claims for compensation on tae part of individuals who apprehend injury or inconvenience !corn the passing of the Act. These public bodies and WI. ...ends, thus alive to their own interests, very properly seek to tna`:e the best bargain in their power foe themselves lie their coned. I rata ; their proposed clause. will no doubt be ably argued by ...Jame!, and jeeficiuusle settled by the Committee, with a view to t ach particular den or ease, leaving the principle of the Bill on. oitehed. • 'l'o revert, therefore, to the London Dock Company. as the only budy that enpug .a such principle, their resistance to it is founded sin no otter or better plea, than that they have already ample means of accommodating the trade of London—that they have ex. eroded a vast sum in estaidiehing theme-tun of such accommodation. red that then-tore no (Ater pereons should be indulged in expending I aue_money towards procuring of affording similar accommodation. This is excellent London Dock logic, and in which, in my indi. 'ideal capacity, as one of its pnetrictors, I should he disposed to acquiesce; but I leer it will scarcely prove equally efficacious with the trading interests of the metropolis ' who, by their petitions and weir conduct, appear to have arrieed at a diametrically opposite conclusion. These petitioners, conaistin' of el "htcen hundred of the fi rst terns in Leet'on, besides the whole body of the wine and t e em trade, ullehe, and official documents confirm the allele:- hen, that the river is crowded to inconvenience with vessels, the owners i t which pubmit to such inconvenience, rather than uto the re:antie and arbitrary regulations of the L ondon Docks, sri the high charges incurred there, and not without reason appre. heeding some new version of the recent unsuccessful attempt of tee Undoes at an improved reading on the law of lieu and munter. The tnercautil - interest add, that they see no swoon why, as well to reimburse the prodigal expenditure, attending the fiNt construction of the London Docks, including a Kra city in one sum Of MOW. to their Secretary, who already en. i , oyed a very liberal salary, as to secure a large interest on the im. men , c capital disbursed, the trade of London should bemulcted or (livened into other channels. They further state, that if docks eau be provid, il more convenient in point of situation, at less ex peeve and with no comptde . ry clauses to shackle the free choice ce the merchant, he will of mune avail himself of such election, nal the public be necessarily . a gainer in consequence, .by the in. tervention of such competition, and the complete bar It will pre. soot to all attempts at monopoly. On the other hand, the London Dot% Company, in support . of thiir claim ti exclusive tights, state, that were actommociation wasted, they have still a spare twenty acres in which they could provide it : this is too true, but where can the spare million be pro. cured to squander, as was • large proportion of the three fanner millions in the most lavish waste and disproportionate expen. diture? 'the alleged surplus Matra affords of itself sufficier.t evidence o f waste : why purchase 00 saes covered with houses, when 40 only appear by their own statement to have proved 1110111 than sufficient The mph most completely establishes the well-known fact, that cite nit . wets are so encumbered with an enormous capital liftes 11,* establishment, that they love no chance of yield. adequate return, by any means short of the actual monopoly they have hitherto enjoyed, or of that which will virtually exist s f al cern petition be prohibited. The promoters of the Set,atherine's Docks Bill profess to meet this grievance of monopoly by ito only legitimate cure—opposition. I They au Dot propound their scheme as otte of profit; so careful ilrer they been to guard it against the imputation of speculation ariobbipg, that they have sedulously kept down all means of s ego. ...ramie 111 their shares by themselves, abstaining from all traffic in toe:(, and putting it out of the powei of other Subscribers so to do, by withholding any receipt or voucher in respect of the deposit paid. They come forward, in feet, under the Immediate auspices of the Legtrlatare, who have recently repeatedly recognised free and liberal competition as the vital prindple of trade. They ask no privileges, they claim no exemptions; they Oilollll. pay few %dial they acquire, and they can impose en Wag rain to indemnify themselves ; they trust fint Viatft ng state of the country, to the benefit of the reduced primal labour and materials, and above all, to a minutely economical outlay of there capital, for that fair return upon it, what*, as men of business, anti trustees for their co-proprietors, they will endeavour to obtain. _ . The nonsense about population and houses. and abort notice, is oce deserving of further answer than that the inhabitants would to at man prefer having the period of quiuing limitel rather than caned, as no benefit an accrue from carrying on a languishing bielness with a certainty of removal; and they are all desirous of needing themselves of the entsailiate exigency, by receiving the lioeral csmpensation they all cape*, and of establishing themselves rlsewfit re with the fruit of it. In respect to the number of houses a:4l their inmates, the London Docks disturbed more than double it, martber and amount, with no recorded case of consequent hard. .nip or diwress. Tit, Church and Church-yard constitute other subjects of Limn tatitei equally groundless and absurd ; the former can be of no use, wizen every inhabitant will be removed, and the latter will be pro vitltrl far, as has ahead/ been repeatedly the case with reference as of the Bank, the new Post-office, the Commercial Road. e,e. lke.t while at all events the care of the Free Collegiate Chapel sal'?Ot.: Catherine, and its master and brethren, may be safely con- Lied to their legitimate protector and visitor, the Lord nigh 4encellar. The teamed Theban. I should say Alderman, who being deeply iiteolved in two Dock Communes himself, is reported to have given nu fiieinterved and impartial an account in the House of Com mons of his bird's-eye view of the precinct of St. Catherine from the tower of its ehurctr, and who was so well pleased with his own speett as to favour the Cocunum Council with a seem'd edition of it, must have resorted to church * , ter dinner, lc it would other wise be dilicul to account fur his converting the 20 Wit* required' sat the intended Docks into 40 acres, 800 houses into 2,000, sad their 8,000 inhabitants into 10,000. To conclude, the simple issue is between the London and the St. Catherine Uockt, between monopoly and competition, between creporate pin and national advantage. :such being the Issue, and the country, by its Legislature, the l ~edge, who can doubt the ultimate result ?

CHESTER, Aram 14. 1 Bcfore 'Edges W and Jewels. BURGLARY. George Woolley and Thomas Baler were charged with having burgLariously entered the house of Williata Sotheran, of Weever ham, on the night of the bah of December, and Stolen therefrom a sovereign, a guinea, fifty shillings in silver, and 51. in copper.— Gait/I—Death. It is understood, that no mercy will be extended to the prisoners, who, it is mid, will receive sentence of death at the MDR time as Dale, the young man convicted of the murder of Mr. Wood. Next Wednesday is the day tired. Thomas Clarke, aged 27, was indicted for having assaulted and killed David Briedley, at 51aorlestield, by throwing him over a wall, in consequence of which his neck was dislocated, and he languished and died. Mr. Sergeant CROSS stated the case. James ‘Vright, esamined by Mr. Law—l lived in Macclesfield, and knew the d:craised Brindley. We lived in the same house. Late on Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, on the 19th of Oc tober, I was alarmed on hearing a noise, as of persons falling out, and looked out of the window, when 1 observed the prisoner and Matthew Brindtcy (the old man's son); the old man was at his own door. I heard the old man sew to Clarke, "Go home about rear business, and don't disturb me," or to that effect ; and asked hint—" did he want to rub his house." Clarke wanted to strike the old man, but was prevented by his son. The old man charged Clarke with stealing his hat. Clarke wanted again to strike him, but was prevented by Matthew Brindley. The old man immedi ately got into his house, and cline out again with something in his hand, and went down the road, where there was a small wall. whither Clarke had previously gone, and the old man, on coming up, struck hint on the side of the head with smite unlawful weapon. I don't know what it was, but it sounded like iron. Ile made a second blow at Clarke, which he missed ; then the weapon tell out af his band. Clarke turned about, and said, ••• 0. you are poker. ing, are You ?" and said ••• he poker hint." They both fixed theta:xi:is in a posture of fighting. The old man stumbled a little when conatig up, but kept aloof, as if afraid to face Clarke, and was retreating nearer to his own house, near a wall which was about two feet high. lie got his back close us it, and leaning over it, apparently as if he had lost his balance. Clarke at this time was facing him, and the old man gave him a push, when Clarke took him by the breast, and I raw toe old man go over the wall. Clarke threw him over the wall. It was nine or ten feet deep where lie fell. I ran from the bowie, and seised Clarke, and hid him look over the wall and see what he had dour. Ile got away front me and rsn off, but was stopped b a young man, who held him till I came up to him. The plea w here the old man first struck the prisoner was six yards from the wall, and more titan five or six minutes had elapsed before he was thrown over. No blow or push had occurred between than till that period. They had been quarrelling all the time. James Chapman examined—l saw the deceased strike the pri soner. Prism r got round Dement the deceased's flour, and they were fighting together till they got to the nail; the deceased plated himself against the wall. Crindley closed with the prisoner, and I the deceased went over the wall; I can't say the prisoner flung hilly, he forced him Over. Aaron Dean corroborated the statement of the previous fight, sod saw Clarke place one of h 6 hands on the old man's breast, and the other wale( his thigh, and in this way he tossed the old man over the wall. It was tot, in his opinion, more then three minutes from the blow being struck ; th were scuffling all the time. The old nom appeared to get towar ds his house, and the prisoner pre-' rented hint. —..... ....... frederick Lallemand, ahrgeon, saw the deceased on Monday after his death. Sew the place where he hud been thrown over. I have no doubt the cause of his death was the fracture of the three loser bones of his neck, which was ~cceeioned by the fall. 'l'he rive of the prosecution here closed. 3lr. Justice IVARR EN summed up the evidence. '1 he Jury tested a verdict—Guilty of Manslaughter. Mr. CHILI J us-rice, in pwaing sentence upon the prisoner, observed that the Court, taking into consideration the provocation he had recrived, and the character that had been given him, and his being already confined under the charge upwards of six months, the seutence of the Court was, that he should pay a fine of fire pounds, and be then discharged. ellatthese Orinellry, son of the deceased, was charged on the Coroner's Inquisition with aiding and abetting Clarke in the offence, but was se-vatted. Mr. Sergeant Caoss having said be would not offer any evidence against him. Thomas Shaba, Skeleton, James Statham, and Inks Nesofou, were indicted for buTlary and petty larceny, in stealing tame game cocks front the doming - house of 'thonias Lea. Mr. Sergeant Ca oss said be would not give evidence on the capi tal charge, and that he had no evidence against Newton. Galliniore, a servant to Mr. Lea, stated that he was ping home about three o'clock, on the morning of the 13th of March, when he saw the ground covered with feathers, near the hen-room. He called up another servant, who went with him, and they fol lowed-the prisoners, and got the game cocks, which they had let drop from a bag on the grounit‘ The cocks beganlo fight whilst , the witness anti his fellow-aervants were argulwith the prisoners. He knew three ut them. It was a line moon! t night. Croui-exaniined by Mr. D. T. Jox Es-- at were you doing up, my fine fellow, at three in the morning? —I was with a young woman. Whose cock was it you saw—a red or black ?-I.lr. Lea% and a real game emit, Sir. Was it alive? thi;nvoro • ent one of the cocks loudly crowed.' Ir. Coass said, it appeared he was living evidence of that; and he alight be taken out of Court as a eritnma not wanted.—. ( Loud Laughter.) Was it a mounliight night I—Yes; nod I knew them well. Pray were you talking to the moos ?-0h ! that is all moonshine, Sir.—( Laughter. ) Another witness corroborated his testimony. The Jury acquitted Newton, and found the others guilty of petty larceny. They were sentenced to be severally imprisoned and kept to hard labour fur six months. MURDER OF MR. WOOD. I At the last Summer Annus fur Cheshire Joapli Ask was con victed of the wilful murder of Wm. Wood, a respectable factor, re. siding near Whaley, in Cheshire. About six works since a petition was forwarded to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for the pardon of Dale ; it wu most respectably and numerously signed ; nothing, however, appeared to induce Oovemment to attend to its prayer. One of the prisoner's companions vas taken a short time after the murder, and was committed to the New Bailey prison at Manchester, where he hung himself the following morning. A third person, who was present, has not vet been ultra. The fate of Dale has excited universal interest in Cheshire, and the adjoining counties, although it were difficult to account for this excitement on a , y other ground than the youth of Liie prisoner, be being only 18 y,:ars of age. POLICE. BOIS'..STREET. Ms. IL, a very smartly dresral woman, vu brought before the filagi.trate on • peace warrant, charged with threatening to inflict bodily injury upon !Mu Eliza 11. K., her reputed daughter in-I.w. It was stated by Miss K., who appesrel to be a highly morn. plished young lady, that she had resided with Mr. H. trout her in. fancy, and until latAy she always supposed him to be her father, hut circumstances had occurred which induced her now to doubt upon the subject. She was educated in France, and until she came to reside in this country she knew but very little of the English lan guage ; but the knowledge which she hail since acquired had led to a disenv:ry, to which the present complaint was, in her opinion to be attriblue.l. 3lr. 11. some time ago married the defendant, and from that time her (Miss K's) home was no longer supportable. They were quarrelling incessantly, and at length Mr. If. placed her in lodgings, at ate house of a Mr. Ritter, a tlerman tailor, undertaking to pay fur her board and lodging. A few days so; Mr. Ritter promoted a bill to Mr. R. fur certain extras that she had been furnished with, and ver, shortly after Mrs. M. went to her lodgings, and conducted hersilf with great violence, theaten ing to " tear her liver out," and making use of other declaration of such a nature as to excite serious apptsbensioos in complainant's mind. The dimovery to which she had alluded was thin.--She once saw s document, which she understood enough of to know that it wan a will of her late mother (who died when complainant was very young), in which property was bequeathed to her, and Mr. II. : was nominated trustee. She, of mutat „_made no secret of this, and she attributed the conduct of Mrs. N. to this CITCSIONTIOSS. Mn. U. had repeatedly urged her to retire to a convent in France,' but she refused. Alin K. was entering further into this part of the subject, but AC was stopped by the 31agistrate, who informed her that he had nothing to do with private manners of that kind • be could only take cognizance of the threats which the alleged th:st Mrs. U. had male use of. On the part of the defendant it was declared., that :Miss K. was totally mistaken as to the will of which she had spoken. She was actually the daughter of Mr. H. by a former marrage, and there was no: the least foundation tor the supposition, which somehow or other had entered the mird of the complainant, with respect to the supposed will. The Magistrate repeated, that he had nothing to do with that pert of the ease, and after sane conversation Mrs. H. was held to bail to keep the peace. THAMES OFFICE. I MrOIITANT Qu EST Intr.—Richard Iliklitch. of Wappin, victualler, appeared at this one, before I'.

I From the Mirror.] The following account of the origin of chess Is given by the Arabian writers. At the coinmeneement o f the fifth century of the Christian era, India was governed by a young and powerful Mon a r c h, of an excellent disposition , ' but who was greatly corrupted by his flatterers. This young Prince soon forgot that monarchs ought to be the fathers of their people; that the love of the people for their king is the only solid support of the throne ; and that they con stitute all his strength and power. It was in vain that the Braining and the Rajahs repeated to him these im portant maxims. Intoxicated by his greatness, which he imagined to be unalterable, he despised their wise remon strances. Then a Bramin, named Sissa, undertook, in an ittill=.ts manner, to open the eves of she Prince. With this vie*, he invented the game of chess, in which the king, though the most important of the pieces, is powerless to attack, and even to defend himself against his enemies, without the assistance of his subjects. The new game speedily became celebrated; the King of ' India heard talk of it, and wished to learn it; Sissa, while explaining the rules of it, gave him a taste of those mo mentous truths, to which till this moment be had refused to listen. _ . The Prince, who possessed both feeling and gratitude, changed his conduct, and gave the Bramin the choice of his recompense. Sissa required to be delivered to him the number of grains of wheat which would be produced by all the squares of the chess-board, one bring given for the first square, two for the second, four for the third, and so on, still doubling the amount till the sixty-fourth square. The King, without hesitation, acceded to a request of such apparent moderation; but when his treasurers bad calculated the quantity, they found that the King had en gaged to perform a thing to which not all his riches, nor ' his vast states, would suffice. They found in reality, that the amount of these grains of wheat would be equal to 16,384 cities, each containing 1,024 granaries, each grt nary containing 174,762 measures, each measure consisting, of 32,768 grains. 1/1 this circumstance the Bramin availech himself, to make the King sensible hew much sovereign ought to be on their guard against those who surround them, and how much they ought to fear, lest even their! best intentions should be perverted to sinister ends. POLIPICAL ECONOMY-RICARDO LECTURES. Mr. bl•Culloch was attended on Thursday with u crowded and respectable an audience as on former occasions. DIVISION OF LABOUR. He had formerly stated that labour was the source of wealth, and that labot.e was made productive by the security of property, the division cf labour, and the accumulation of capital. The security of property had been the subject of the last lecture ; he now pro ceeded to the division of labour. The division of labour was in a great measure the result of population and civilized life; yet among rude nations, subsisting by the chase, its first principles could be traced. The hunter would give the surplus of his game in exchange fur bow and arrows, and the man who had neither in clitiatiou nor skill for bunting would supply himself with game by making bows and arrows for the hunter. As society advanced, the division of labour was gradually made more distinct and efficient, and the weaver, the tanner, the shoemaker, the tailor, the smith, the carpenter, each confined himself to his particular province of labour. The advantages of this division he explained and illustrated under the three heads pointed out by Ik. Smith : I. A greater efficacy given to labour by the skiff acquired in con.. 'sequence of constant application to the same kind of labour; 2. A saving of time by not making a transition from one son of ' labour to another, and trading with one's work at commencing, and previously to getting into the right course of operation ; 3. A desire and facility of inventing machines and modes of producing a greater quantity and finer quality in the particular department. The Jack of all trades was proverbially never rich. To this division of labour a ready exchange, or a large market, was the great stimulus lust reward. Hence large towns were the places in which the division of labour was most perfect. lac the country the surgeon must act as physician, dentist, oculist, he. because there was no population to remunerate an individual in each of those professions. The towns were again indefinitely in creased by the resort of all persons of skill, enterprise, and ambl don, to the only market for the produce of their labour. To these must be added all the idle and luxurious, who resorted to the place where they could obtain every gratification with the greatest faci lity. Towns were thus frequented by the laborious, ingenious, ambitious, gay, and profligate. CAUSES OF THE MAGNITUDE OF TOWNS. The first origist of some must be ascribed to the assembling of men together for the moms of defence and security against attack and plunder. But In England, the United States, and other countries, where such a cones must have ceased to operate, Innu merable towns were formed. This was accounted for by the en. couragement afforded in towns to the division of labour. But there was a check upon the increase of towns by the more extensive con ' septum and grater expense of corn, coals, and all the necessaries of his. If corn and coals were to cost 20 per cent. more in plan. ' cheater than in the country, the population of .slanshester would not have increased as it has done. To counteract this check, the making of roads and canals afibrded facility to the importation of foreign and domestic produce. The greater cheapness of water. carriage was the essential cause of forming and warming great towns. Rome received the corn of Sicily, Mauritania, and Egypt, by water. Babylon was connected with the OCCOII by mein, of canals and rivers. London has become what it is because the Thames flows by its side. Paris was the largest city ever formed in en inland situation ; yet, because it had not any communication with the ocean, it increased very slowly. In 1787, Si, William Fetus stated the population of Paris at more then 00,000 ; at this day it was but 700,000. London, at the same period, was be tween 600,000 and 700,000; it was now 1,300,000. Thus Paris, the capital of so great a kingdom, and with so much lower a popu. Won, had increased so much Ina than London, because it had no water carriage for the commerce of the world. This subject Mr. M'Culloch very fully and admirably illustrated, and then apolo gised for dwelling so long on its explanation, by saying that he knew of no book to which he could refer than. The steem.engine was particularly valuable, because It could be applied to manufactures where the cheaper power of water could not be obtained. CAL'SE OF HIGH PRICES FOR CORN. Dr. Smith had ascribed the high prices of corn in civilized society over the prices of manufactured goods to the impassibility of intro ducing the same division of labour into agricultural operations. The same man must plough, harrow, mow, and reap, because there could not be employment enough throughout the wear for men in each department. This he considered an error in the great work of Dr. Smith. The true cause was the necessity in a populous country of cultivating less fertile and barren grounds. This im portant view he would afterwards have occasion to open and illus. trate more fully. The benefits of the division of labour were the motives for the establishment of Castes among the Egyptians and Hindoca, who were the earliest nations civilised ; but this oppressive restrictioc to hereditary employments, which thwarted natural inclination and extinguished ambition, had produced the stationary state and de -1 gration of the llindoos. They were now what they had been in the time of Alexander the Drum Arrian's account of than was nearly appliaabls at the present day to the inhabitants of H tan. This subject Air. M'Culloeh treated at considerable length, and with great perspleuty and eloquence. At the conclusion he mentioned that the nest Lecture would bean the accumulation of capital, and that it would be delivered in Willies Rooms, King. street, St. James's, at half past ten (instead of ten, which would afterwards Lithe time), in order to allow time for ch ase who might come to Bedford-street, to arrive at Willis's early enough for the Lecture. Great applause was given by the audience when the Lecture was finiaiked.

His tinW CtnW a woman of King's Chfle,' naiad Nicholls ; by her haal crlN two children; and he was a widower with that tamily, set. tled ass cooper at Wiabech, when he married secondly a creditable young woman from Thornhaugh, near Stamford, named Charlotte Witham, whom he basely deserted a few days before she was eon. fined in ehild.bed, leaving her, and the children by his former wife, chargeable to the parish of Wishe'. The children were disposed of among the family of their own moler, and their mother-in. law returned to her friends at Thornhastich, where she continued until she obtained a place of service in i respectable family in London. There she r, at present.—We understand it bas been Ter Iced by the family of the innkeeper at Carlisle, whose daughter the profligato fellow has so greatly Injured, to ;:prosecute him for bigamy, aril the neeeroary measures fur that purpose are now taking.—As Cave is as illiterate.. he is impudent, it is surprising that he should have so incessantly carried on his imposture in the North. Hi. driectimi arose from an application to a professional gentleman at li'ishiseh, to whom he had the assurance to refer for the transfer of " 6,0001. funded stock," which he had engaged to advance on a mortgage near Carlisle ! ! The promptness of the application, and of the answer to it, probably prevented Cave's flight to some other part of the kingdom, where he might have re acted his nefarious tricks.
