IRELAND. THE RIVAL MANAGERS. Demeter, Atm. 3.—There has been a report current for f he last few days to the effect that Mr. O'Brien and the other s sceders from the old establishment on Burgh -quav,are about ) set up business on their own account; and, with a view of p utting an end to the lucrative monopoly so long enjoyed by t 1 to head of the ancient firm, are in treaty for the little 1.1 teatre in Abbey-street, which is to be opened under the anagement of Messrs. O'Brien, Meagher, and Co. The m tw house will have for its motto, " Repeal without Rent, F reedom without money." PHYSICAL VERSUS MORAL FORCE. This morning the board-room of College street Police d dice was crammed to excess by the friends and admirers of )ld and Young Irelend, who were anxious to hear a ii;harge of assault, preferred by Captain Broderick against Z Mr. Meagher. Mr. Tyndall presided. Mr. Curran appeared as counsel 'for Mr. Meagher ; and Mr. Cantwell, solicitor, for Captain :Broderick. Captain Broderick sworn—On Saturday last Major Talbot ecalled upon him. He said he called about a report of some , thing he (witness) had said at Conciliation Hall, on 'rues day,Sounders' "Veit's-Letter. He at and which appeared in . once acknowledged the substance of the words were correct. Upon the 13th July he said he would not take notice of any thing Mr. Meagher would say to him. When Major Talbot .called upon him on Saturday last, he referred him to his ob :servations of the 13th July, with a view to show the course .he should take. The witness then alluded to the uproarious ,scene in the Repeal Association on the 13th, wtien Mr. .Meagher cast a gross aspersion upon Mr. Clemente. On that -occasion he did say the conduct of Mr. Meagher was e 7nous." Some one else did speak harshly to :elr. Mea g h er, but he (witness) declared that he claimed - the honour ut first insulting Mr. Meagher. According to the laws of honour, he (witness) considered himself releas-A from any lize'oility - to Mr. Meagher; that, in short, he would give hire no expla nation or satisfaction. lie had come to this conclusion after consulting with his friend. On Saturday evening last he (witness) was walking down Westmorelan d. street, in company with a friend, and as he turned the corner of Lundy Foot's he saw Mr. Meagher and Mr. Smith. Suddenly Mr. Meagher rushed towards him, and raised a stick, threatening to strike him, when he seized it, and friends closing on them no blow was struck. lie then gave him in charge of the police. Cross -examined—I swore an information against Mr. Meagher lately. The first dispute between Mr. Meagher and me occurred on the 13th of July. On that day he fully retracted his charge against Mr. Clements. It was a suffi cient retractation. I was very much excited at the time I ap plied the term "infamous" to him. You think gentlemen should be bound by the code of honour ?—Certainly. On the following morning did Mr. Meagher address him self to you when he said he did not mean anything personal? —I thought so. Mr. Meagher praised Mr. Holmes. Some body exclaimed, he voted against Mr. O'Connell, and I said, " Oh," and further added, "I would not take notice of any. thing that fell from Mr. Meagher." Cross-examined by Mr. Comte:l—He admitted that, ore the 13th of July, he d es i gna t e d t h e con d uct of Mr. M ea'gqier as " infamous,' but that as be did not take notice that, as lie (Captain Broderick) intended he should, ani.e in a fort night after he stated that" he would not mind e.w.;thing that fell from Mr. Meagher," the meaning of wi'.lo:l was that he had passed over the first offence. Mr. TYNDALL suggested that the parlelee, should amicably arrange their differences elsewhere. Mr. Cuaretet mentioned that Mr. `. ,- e^eagher was bound over yesterday in the sum of 5001. to 1-..cev the peace to Captain Broderick and all her Majesty's etebjects. Mr. TYNDALL said there ;ens a summons issued against Captain Broderick, on a de er ge of intending a breach of the peace, and that all the 'enjects of the parties might be at tained by also calliw g upon him to give bail in an equal amount. This suggestion, was adopted, and the parties left the office. THUNDER-STORM. Between one and two o'clock this morning we were visited by one of the most violent storms of thunder and lightning that has taken place fur manyyears in this countree It lasted, at intervals, for nearly two hours, and v;as followed by a Terfect deluge of rain. At one period the whole atmosphere 'was illuminated by a vivid flash of lightning, which was rapidly succeeded by several others of less brilliancy. The storm, which came from the east, subsided about half-past three o'clock. Th e preced i ng day and evening had been ex cessively sultry.___ REPEAL ASSOCIATION. MONDAY, AuG. 3.—The usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Association was held to-day at one o'clock, and was , crowded to suffocation for some hours prosviously, it having 'been known that Mr. O'Connell had arrived on the previous evening from Loudon, and would Iss: present. At the ap pointed time, th e Hon. Gent%Lusa), accompanied by Mr. -John O'Connell, M.P. ; Mr. sktniel O'Connell, jun., M.P. ; Air. N. Maher, M.P. ; Mr, Senethwicke, M.P. ; te Lord 3layor, Mr. T. Steele, Ce.ptain Broderick, and several others of the, Old Ireland, rJr moral force party, entered the hall, and were loudly ch.eered. The members of the Young Ireland party did not attend. Upon the rneition of Mr. O ' CONNELL, seconded by the LORD Maxon, the chair was filled by Mr. Daniel O'Connell, jun., M.P. The CET A RmAN, upon taking his seat, said it was always most gratifying to him to be called on to preside over a aneetine like the one he was then about presiding over; but or. no former occasion had he felt so highly honoured, for was net merely a compliment to him, but a corn plirrient to the honest electors of Dundalk.—(Cheers.) f ltey deserved any compliment which could be paid lb em ; in fact, no praise could exceed their merits, for ttiey had by their admirable organisation scared away even Vie shadow of opposition to his or any Repeaters' election.— ( Hear, hear.) No doubt they might have made a better se- Niction.—(Cries of "No, rio.' ) They had, however, made a Pelection of him because he was a Repealer and the son of CYCOnnell.—(Great appleuse.) They were to a man almost Ytepealers, and understood the great basis upon which the isssociation was founded—the principle of moral force alone. --(Hear, hear.) Nothing could be more peaceable or orderly than the manner in which the men. of the north conducted themselves at the election; so peaceable were they, that he aw but three policemen among s t several thousand people; that, however, was not at all. extraordinary ; for they had the men of God—the Roman. Catholic clergy to rule and pre aide over them, and teach them to work out repeal upon moral and peaceable principles.—(hear, hear.) The feeling in favour of moral force was not, he was happy to be enabled to say, confined to Dundalk alone; but exhibited itself all along his route to Drogheda, where he was loudly cheered with the cry of " Old Ireland and Repeal."—(Cheers.) The Learned Gentleman concluded by handing in some money from both Drogheda and Dundalk. Mr. RAY then read the minutes of the last meeting; after which, Mr. O'CONNELL rose to hand in 741., with the following letter, from the Ro man C at h o li c Bi shop of Ardagh : Baymahon, Jul 31. "Dear Libe ra t or ,—l h ave been" requ ll ste ed by the y priests whose names are annexed to forward to the Loyal Repeal Association, as their subscription for 1846, the inclosed sum of 741., incleiding 21. from myself. Others of our clergy had already seeit up their subscriptions, in conjunction with those of their flocks, making a total of about 901. for the present year from the bishop and priests of Ardagh. " 'A need not, I trust, assure you, that the reverend gentle ellen who have contributed this sum are more than ever de l/ermined to stand by you through every vicissitude, in your amoral and peaceable endeavours for the regeneration of our beloved but ill-governed country; and I am happy to add, that in this determination they are most cordially joined by the liberal and good men in their respective parishes. We have no pbysical force men in this diocese. Neither have we, thank God, any schoolboy philosophers, false and san guinary Repealers, or Voltairian newspapers. All our exer tions for the restoration of Ireland's independence are based on twee sacred and immutable principles of true Christian morality, and we pity the folly and abhor the wickedness of any man who would rest his patriotism upon other grounds. " Excessive vanity and quixotic conceit may blind some men so far as to make them believe that they are almost your equals in the service of your country, and urge them perhaps, under this pitiable delusion, to set themselves up as your rivals in leading the Irish to nationality; but they-ought to know that the clergy and faithful people of Ireland wiil have no other leader than their revered Liberator, and I feel thoroughly convinced, if it were the will of Providence to warn you to-morrow of your near dissolution, the Irish nation would unanimously adopt, as their political guide, that man alone whom you would bequeath to them as worthy of their confidence. " We have witnessed with sorrow the disgraceful scenes that have lately taken place in Conciliation Hall, and have felt the deepest indignation and disgust at the shallow so phistry and flippant impertinence exhibited by the few •vourrr men who so c hibl is hl y style themselves Young Irelan. Do these persons already forget that all their im portance, if any they possess, is owing to your superhuman and unbounded influence? Or do they imagine the whole country will ever start up at their wild bidding; throw moral force and O'Connell to the winds ; trample upon God's holy commandments; violate their sworn allegiance to their Gracious Sovereign; and, under the magic spell of puritanical rank and Jacobin impiety, sally forth from their peaceable firesides to be butchered in an unequal and fruitless contest? Assuredly, if such be the expectations of the Young Ireland party, they must look on their fellow-countrymen as the ve riest idiots upon the face of the earth, whilst, at the same time, they draw down upon themselves the scorn and laughter of every true Repealer in Ireland. " I cannot close this hasty letter without saying a word or two about the Nation newspaper. It is in my mind the most dangerous publication that ever appeared in Ireland. I will pay nothing of its ungrateful and mean endeavours to ma . lign you by unfounded insinuations, distorted inferences from . your speeches, &c., and thus lessen your well-earned sway over your countrymen. Nor shall I notice itamad harangues on the subject of revolution. All these topics I leave to be dealt with by your own master mind, but on the score of re ligion. I must say that the Nation appears to me, to my clergy, and to our flocks, to tend directly to the overthrow of Catholic faith and morals. Every one must admit that it is edited with a considerable portion of talent—that its rounded sentences and energetic style are well calculated to make fatal impressions on youthful and unreasoning minds; but it feels the embarrassment that was felt by Voltaire, Diderot, D'Alembert, &c.—namely, it can advance no argument 1i r'~cal against our holy religion. Hence, like Voltaire also, it deals inuendoes, and fashionable sneers. It is true it as the bad manliness to give its feeble support to the In tidal Colleges,, • • - • • overwheina in direct opposition to the decision of the priesthood.tniti,najority of the Irish bishops and universal lugging in elllso speaks out poliohen it blames you for soes i nto ir cs still its danger does i not consist peny d disseminating its latitm?matising against tbe truth, but in cat r o r r ianism by ridicule and inuendoes a "long the unwary yelled it fro te ra yout youths of Ireland. We have ignominiously ex almost h all our literary institu tions in Ardagh, and it is pecting Catholics who still recs. 'sped that whatever unsus we it will soon sever the bad onnexion. It was time that someeonosnideesrhao.uld'have brought this c subject before the religions tiori. of the public, and humble as I rank in the Irish hierarch *. venture to im plore the Catholic priests and the Catholicylany of Ireland, to turn their serious and vigilant attention to the do s s t i„, and tendencies of the Nation newspaper. "Wishing you every sort of success in your moral and noble career, and per petual disappointment to your avowed or hid. den enemies, "I remain, dear Liberator, "With unalterable and affectionate f at l t v ac . h o m l e i n i t G , y G ou iN r s , "D. O'Connell, Esq., 31.1 ) . t'e m nseconded minutes." . Mr. O'C ONNE LL moved, and Mr. MA E, on M. h l ~u it motion, " That the above letter be insertedEiE Carried unanimously. Mr. O'Connell next handed in 901., the subscription of 90 Boman Catholic clergymen, with a letter from the Roman Catholic Bishop of Meath. This letter Was also inserted on the minutes. Mr. MAHER, M.P., read a letter from the Dean of Killaloe, inclosing his subscription to the repeal fund, which also was inserted in the minutes of the association. Mr. O'CONNELL then rose to address the association amid loud cheers. He said he deemed it his duty to address the sk;sociation at the earliest possible moment. His mind was indeed so pressed by the magnitude of the crisis to which they had arrived, and the vital importance of the rights and liberties of Ireland which were involved in the discussion, that he could no longer remain silent.—(Chtere.) It was true he had scarcely sufficient physical force to go through the details ha had to lay before the meeting, for he had but just arrived from travelling, but yet his heart wes anxious, and hit mind was strengthened by the magni tude of the occasion. —(Cheers.) Ile was convinced that so much good to the country was never tendered by a Government, and so much prudence and discretion were never so necessary on the part of the people.—(Cheers.) He regretted the dissensions which had got amongst them, but he (Mr. O'Connell) asserted that they had only stood by the principle of moral force, the principle on which ho com menced his agitation.—(Cheers.) That principle had guided, and would always guide his entire conduct. Yes, he had only to remind them how often he had said, " That the greatest amelioration of human institutions was not worth the shedding of a single drop of blood."—(Cheers.) They had lost many who had hitherto dignified th'at association with their talents, and he must especially feel heartfelt and bitter regret at the secession of William Smith O'Brien.-- (Hear.) When they were under prosecution, Mr. O'Brien at that moment of personal danger threw himself into their ranks and soon became; one of the foremost amongst them.— (Cheers.) Mr. O'Ceaenell, after saying that he had not com promised any of his principles, went on to say, he did not justify himself ; lee required no justification. Ile maintained his old position, and laughed to scorn those who prided I themselves oet a species of pocket courage—( Laughter)--vio lent men Wren talked of lighting when there was no lighting to be deate.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'Connell then charged the Younglreland party with ge t t i ng up t h e l ate di ssens i ons i n the association in his absence, and then went on to observe that they seemed plainly to accuse him of coalescing with the Whigs. One young gentleman had said that the people would be betrayed. Now by whom were they to be betrayed ? It was not his sweet self lie meant.—(Laughter.) He meant him (Mr. O'Connell).—(llear, hear.) In his absence that was insinuated against him. That gentleman was followed by three or four others of the same party, and when pressed to say who they meant, they said they meant nobody. That was the first time he (Mr. O'Connell) was called nobody.— (Laughter and cheers.) The Learned Gentleman then pro ceeded to answer the accusations of the Young Ireland party relative to the late Dungarvon election, and made the same explanations as to the election of Mr. Shell as had been given so frequently by other members of the Old Ireland party. He said those views had been put forward only for the purpose of creating dissension, and cried shame in those who had brought it forward for such a purpose.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. O'Connell) in 1840 called on the association to dis approve the declaration of Lord Ebrington, " That a Repealer should not obtain office under the Government," and he was joined in the cry by the Nation and " Young Ireland ;" in fact, all parties agreed in disapproving of the course pur sued by the laerdeLieutenant.— (Cheers.) 1\ hen he and they acted (ea this principle, why should they not rejoice to find that they had a Lord - Lieutenant who would not consirt, er a Re e; pealer disqualified from holding &l ice on that ae,:ottnt?— (Hear, hear.) The moment that Lord Bestee e o ,rough trampled down Lord Ebrington, and made a (le'elaration to that effect, up got the Nation and Young Ire lanii, and called every one who dared to accept office an apostate, showing that their former declarations could not have been sincere, or that they were then insincere.— (Cheers.) several young gentlemen of talent, family, and fortune, frequently told him (Mr. O'Connell) that they could not join the association, lest they might be injured in their prospects, although ardent Repealers; and if the Nation newspaper and the Young Irelanders were really true to their colours, would they not have been delighted at a declaration of that nature made by the Government, which would have the effect of adding to their ranks many young men, both Protestants and Catholics ?—(Cheers.) He (Mr. O'Connell) had reason to know that it was the opinion of Lord Besbo rough; that Repealers should not be excluded from office because of their politics ;—indeed, he would pledge himself to the sentiment, and he was sure the people of Ireland would regard such a man as he ought to be regarded.— (Cheers.) What was the next thing the Young Ireland party suggested? Why, that they should become physical force Repealers—advocates of murder and robbery.—(llear, hear.) They became revolutionary force men—they profess doctrines contrary to the fundamental principles of the association, and such as would prevent the Protestants of Ireland from joining them—(Cheers)—in fact, if they were to placard the streets to that effect, they could not have been more trea cherous to repeal—he would therefore arraign them all with treachery, with the exception of his friend, Mr. W. S. O'Brien, who was a man of honesty, honour, and truth.— ( Hear, hear.) The next matter he wished to allude to was one of great importance, and one on which he would move a resolution ; he alluded to the Nation newspaper, and its connexion with the association.—(Hear, hear.) He would move, " That the committee should consider whether there be any connexion between the Repeal Association and the Nation newspaper; and if so, if it was for the safety of the association that it should be continued." Now he (Mr. O'Connell) believed that no such connexion existed, for he did all in his power to prevent it after and even before the State prosecutions.—(Cheers.) The very moment that the song of "Who fears to speak of '9B ?" was published— which by-the-by was written by a F e ll ow o f T r i n i ty Ct liege, Dublin —he severed the connexion ; but, not withstanding, a bench of judges was got to decide that he was bound by that song; a decision that he would call monstrous and profligate.—(Cheers.) They might send judges again, and they should be prepared for them, and not let themselves be again involved by the Nation, and, as counsel for old Ireland, he would keep them out of all scrapes. —( Hear, hear.) The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to read several passages from the articles lately published in the Nation, and said they were clearly in favour of physi cal force, and were such as would involve the association, and would have had him convicted and executed for high treason, if read and raised in evidence against him on his trial.—(Loud cheers.) Two indictments for treason were actually prepared he 1843, to be sent to the grand jury, and would have been sent, but they adjourned before it was sent up, and the Government altered their mind.—(Cheers.) It was also said that M. Ledru Rollin offered assistance, and that it was offered by " a surer source" from France. Now he (Mr. O'Connell) admitted that it was offered by M. Ledru Rollin. publicly, and refused publicly; but he denied that any other offer of assistance was made to the association, publicly or privately ; and, if offered, he called on and defied the Nation to say to whom it was offered; and if it was proved that even his beloved son John joined in the reception of suet a 'propo sition, be would have him expelled from the association.— (Cheers.) Were they safe in dealing with newspapers which advocated such doctrines? A VOICE—No, we will turn them out.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL add they should do no such thing; for, if they did, they would be only acting as the people fooliz hlv acted when they burned Mr. Beresford's notes, because they disliked his bank.—(Cheers.) The Learned Gen tleman then referred to all he had been able to do for Ireland by moral force, and asked what the ad. vocates of physical force had done ?—(Hear, hear.) It might be said, he had not been successful for the repeal. His answer was, "Wait awhile." But, had not the repeal agitation really done anything for them ? Had it not kicked out the Coercion Bill ?—(Cheers.) And had it not made Sir R. Peel turn from orange into green, and to declare that " Jus • Lice should be done to Ireland?"—(Loud cheers.) And they had also Lord J. Russell's promise to pass the most compre hensive measures for the good of Ireland. He would sup port the present Government as long as they endeavoured to do justice to Ireland; and while they did so he would do everything in his power to assist them : but he was bound to admit that he did not think they could be successful in their favour.--(Hear, hear.) (The Honourable Gentleman then eulogised the new Government for the late official ap pointments they have made in this country, and alluded to those made by the late Administration, which elicited hisses and groans.) There was also the restoration of their magis trates.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. O'Connell) was not a magistrate when he last addressed, them, but he was one now.—(Loud cheers.) He feared he would have been unable to address them to such a length as he had done; but he found that when he came to Ireland he grew young again.—(Loud cheers.) It was strong evi dence in favour of the repeal cause that the Times news paper spoke its sentiments in their behalf.—(hear, hear.) The Times showed the opinion of the majority of the English people. In fact, all classes of people, both in England and Ireland, were coming to an opinion that justice should be done to Ireland. The Learned Gentleman concluded by moving that it be referred to a committee of the association, to ascertain if there was anything between that association and the Nation newspaper of a dangerous character, and which might call for a severance of the con nexion. The motion was seconded by the Lord Mayor, and carried with acclamation. Several subscriptions to a considerable amount having been handed in, Captain BRODERICK, in alluding to the election of Dun dalk, eulogised the conduct of the Repeal Club there, as it was, he said, to their exertions the success of the election was owing. He moved a vote of thanks to the Repeal Club and the Repeaters of Dundalk for their support on the occasion in question.—Carried. Mr. J. A. O'NLEILL (Bunowen-castle) was speaking against the proceedings of the Young Ireland party when post hour arrived. The week's rent will amount to about 4001. PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is 16 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 1 / 1 . per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 55; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 75, it follows that gold is 0.78 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Ilamburgh the price of gold is 436 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 1 ,4 d. per eunce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10 1 / 2 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 1134, it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange atNew York on London is 107% per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 2.33 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, tie interest must be deducted from the above difference. GENERAL HOLIDAY AT MANCIIESTER.—Monday was observed at Manchester as a general holiday, in commemoration of the passing of the Act for the repeal of the corn-laws, and a more I magnificent public procession in celebration of a great national event was never before witnessed in that town. Business was entirely suspended, not only the retail concerns, but the factories and ware / houses remained closed during the whole of the day. Flags and banners bearing appropriate devices anti mottoes were to be seen suspended front almost every house and public building, whilst the crowd of persons that thronged the public streets rendered it very difficult to force a passage at even a moderate pace. The procession of the corporations of Manchester and Salford, the late Anti-Corn law League, gentlemen of the boroughs, the fire-brigade, and the various trades and societies in the town, was formed at eleven o'clock at Larahill, Salford, and dispersed, after having moved through many of the principal streets, in S t. Ann's-square, shortly after two o'clock ; the weather during a greater part of the time being very unfavoura able. The great numbers and length of this procession may be in ferred from the Met, that nearly an hour-and-a-half had elapsed from the time of the first band entering Market-street, to that of the last vehicle arriving opposite to the Exchange. The banners and flags carried by the different bodies were very numerous, and bore suitable inscriptions in favour of free trade principles. Amongst others were noticed —" Long life and happiness to cur free-trade Queen Victoria ;" "God bless Sir Robert Peel, the poor man's friend," &e. From the late League rooms a rich banner was sus pended, bearing the motto of " The League triumphant, June 26, 1846." In the evening the illumination of the various public build ings, and many of the great factories and warehouses, was on a very extensive scale ; particularly at the Free Trade Hall, the Theatre Ro , al, Salford Town Hall, and the warehouses of Mr. Potter, Mr:Cobden, and Mr. WAIL. A public dinner was held at Salford Town Hall on Monday night, to celebrate this auspicious event. It was presided over by the Mayor, Mr. Kaye, and very numerously attended ; and furnished a very happy close to the in teresting proceedings of the day. occasioned EVENT.—Considerablo sensation has b een ""..ioned In Leeds by the deaths of Mr. Joseph liebblethwatte. dr uggist and shopkeeper, residing in Charles-street, Quarry-hill, it: that town, itna la s wi has not yet been i n y ea ?? g t Z rumours that are afloat at. the ean oLS w a h ti l i e r h da h 3: y l e as ied t. ted it would taking poison, grits vhararking dbe unfair to give the various wife, and his then 28 e ministered by the husband to hi tA;thlehpea:tais; deadly ingredient himself.

THE BISHOP OF EXETER AND BRIDGETOWN CHAPEL. HOUSE OF LORDS, August 4. The following is a fuller report than appeared in our yes terday Morning's Edition : The Earl of RADNOR said that he had given notice of his intention to make some remarks on the statement made to their Lordships relative to the conduct of his Noble Friend the Duke of Somerset, who was unable to attend in his place. The attack had been made upon the Noble Duke without any notice, and he had therefore had no mear,s of answering it himself, or of asking any friend to reply to it. The charge made against the Noble Duke was for violating an express engagement with respect to the endowment of the chapel at Bishopstown ; and the history of the transaction was this: the Duke of Somerset had considerable possessions in the county of Devon, in part of which there was need of addi tional church accommodation. In the course of the year 1832 the Duke of Somerset built this chapel for the purpose of accommodating the population. It was completed in the spring of that year, and was inspected in the cour,e of the mai. mer by the Duke and the Bishop of Exeter. Some communication took place between them as to the consecra tion, and the intention of the Duke to make an endowment. The consequence was, that early in the month of August the Duke entered into an arrangement with Mr. Shore to do the duty, and agreed to give him a remuneration cf 2001. Some doubts arose on the question of preferment, and the tilia?el was not then opened. Communications subsequently took place been Mr. Moberly, the Duke's solicitor, and the secretary of the Bishop; three or four letters passed, and without any endowment taking place, and without the conse cration of the chapel. the Bishop granted a title to Mr. Shore, who was duly nominated by the then incumbent of the living, Mr. Edwards. Mr. Edwards afterwards died, and a gentle man named Brown surceeded him, and continued to hold the living till 1844, Mr. Shore during all that time doing the duty of the chapel, and no difficulty arising. In the summer of 1844 Mr. Brown entered into an arrangement with a Mr. Cozens, who came in July to reside on the incumbency, and objected to Mr. Shore's doing the duty, and refused to nomi nate him ; and the Bishop thereupon refused to grant a license. Some judicial proceedings took place, and ultimately the chapel was licensed under the statute, and the chapel was opened for the performance of religious services according to the doctrines and liturgy of the Established Church. The incumbent proceeded against Mr. Shore in the Ecclesiastical Court ; but still the chapel had continued open to the present time, and the services had been per formed to the great satisfaction of the congregation. The Duke was accused of bad faith in having violated a specific engagement entered into by him never to allow the chapel to be used for ether parposes than those of the Church of England, and secondly to endow it ; for the Bishop said that when he licensed the chapel there was a positive engagement to endow it. Now, with, respect to the first point, he did not see, on reference to the act, that it was necessary a chapel should be a Dissenting place of worship because it was licensed under the Act. The certificate under which it was opened was granted by the archdeacon, and the registrar objected that it did not specify the place to be a. Dissenting chapel, but the opinion of Mr., now Mr. Justice Erie, was taken upon the subject, and he was of opinion that it was not necessary to de clare it to be a Dissenting place of worship because it was licensed under the Act. In point of fact, however, it had not been used as a Dissenting place of worship, for it was used for the services and the sacraments according to the rites of the Church of England. But the principal accusation was, that the Noble Duke had forfeited his engagement that he would endow the chapel ; and to show the groundlessness of that charge, the Noble Earl read the correspondence which had taken place between Mr. Moberly, the solicitor of the Duke, and the Bishop's secretary, in which the Duke had no doubt stated his wish to make an endowment ; but, as some difficul ties mightarise as to the patronage and other matters, made no pledge upon the subject. The Noble Earl then read the fo' lowing correspondence:— " Bedford-row, Sept. 12, 1832, " Sir,—l begin to apprehend that the mutual object of the Duke of Somerset and the Bishop of Exeter will not be at. tamable hut through the medium of the Church Building Commissioners. It will require some consideration to deter mine what proposition to lay before them on the subject. It may also turn out that the Duke's apprehension of its being necessary to let the twelvemonth go round is well-founded ; and this would be so much waste time, for the chapel is ready, I believe. It seems to me also that it might assist the Duke in determining definitively what he might be inclined to do relative to an endowment, &c., if an experiment could be first made how the chapel is likely to answer. Under these con siderations I should heg to suggest that it would be better to request of the Bishop, in the first instance, a license as if it were a proprietory chapel only, which need not by any means imply thsreby that the idea of endowment and consecration is abandoned. The opening of the chapel in this way will, in the course of a few months, probably enable the Duke to judge what may be the best arrangement to propose for the ultimate adju.tment.—l am. &c., " JOSEPH MABERLY." To this letter 111 r. Barnes replied : " Sir,—l have taken the earliest opportunity of laying be fore the Bishop your letter of the 12th. The Bishop directs me to say that the Doke of Somerset having stated his wish and purpose to endow the chapel, and to convey the same for consecration, the Bishop will license the chapel till that purpose can be carried fully into effect. The Bishop has further directed me that, having himself seen the chapel, he dis penses with the issuing of any previous commission of inquiry. It is only necessary, therefore, that the Duke should sign a petition to grant the license, and I will draw a form and send it to you, For this purpose you will be good enough to direct a plan of the chapel to be furnished, showing the ground plan and scaling, &c., and be good enough to give me the most concise statement possible as to the title—that the Duke is tenant in fee of what other estate.—l am, &c., " RALPH BARNES." On receiving this letter, Mr. Maberly wrote, on the 22d of September, as follows ; " Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your favour, which, with your request of a plan, &c., I will immed'ately communicate to his Grace, and I doubt not that I shall be commissioned to return his Grace's thanks to the Bishop and yourself for your obliging attention. I write, however, in consequence of some expressions in your letter, and to pre vent all possibility of any future misunderstanding, unlikely as it may be, to arise. 1 think that the communication of the Bishop's consent to license is accompanied by words from you, that, if unqualified and unexplained, would amount to an implied engagement on the part of the Duke, at all events, and under any circumstances, and with whatever incon veniences attended, still peremptorily, to endow and convey the chapel for consecration. As the Duke is a man who would be scrupulous to the letter in the performance of every iota of what he could be considered, either directly or by implication, to have engaged for, it becomes the more necessary for me to take care that his Grace does not lay himself under any obligation calculated, by any possibility, to bring him into a dilemma. It is his Grace's most serious and determined intention and wish to do his best, through the medium of the Church Commissioners or other wise, to procure the consecration of his chapel, and to make for it a permanent regular endowment of proper amount. With the expression of this intention the Bishop will, I doubt not, knowing his Grace's attachment to the Establish ment, feel satisfied and rest contented. But it is possible that there may be impediments, unlooked-for requisi tions, objections made, interference with patronage, or the like, that may make it unadvisable, in the view of his Grace, or of any reasonable man, to proceed to the conveyance for consecration, and may rathe r i n d uce hi s G race to wish to wait till some further legislative regulations afford better facilities, or remove difficulties that may in the present state of the law exist. I must, therefore, claim for his Grace a discretion in these matters beyond what your words convey. That the Bishop is content that the Duke should have this I do not doubt, nor do I think that y ou mean t t o i mp l y t o t h e con . i trary; but f you read again your words, I think you will find that the qualification is necessary which I have here taken the liberty to make. I will send you the plan, &c., as soon as I receive it, and shall be obliged by the form of the petition you propose to send me.-1 am, &c. "JOSEPH MABERLY." Mr. Barnes replied to Mr. Maberly : " Exeter, Sept. 25, 1832. " Sir,—l have consulted the Bishop upon your letter of the 22d. The Bishop's authority, as stated in my letter of the 10th, was founded correctly, his Lordship thinks, on the previous communication ; but the Bishop, on perusing your letter, authorises me to say that he is content to license the building on the declaration therein contained. I shall be glad to give every dispatch to the business on your furnishing me with the matter mentioned in my former letter.-1 am, &c. "RALPH BARNES." The Noble Earl concluded by contending that the Duke of Somerset never had entered into any contract to endow the chapel in question. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS said, that he had never heard of the difference which had arisen between the Duke of Somerset and the Bishop of Exeter until he received a letter from the Bishop of Exeter on the subject. As he wished to occupy the attention of their Lordships for the shortest pos sible time, he should confine what he had to say to the fewest possible words, and therefore he should proceed at once to lay before them the letter which he had received from his Right Rev. Friend " Bishopstowe, Aug. 1, 1846. " My dear Lord,—Lord Radnor having informed me that it is his intention to bring forward a discussion respecting a statement made by me in the House of Lords on the 23d of June last, on occasion of the precentation of a. petition from the Rev. James Shore, which statement his Lordship considers as having cast an imputation of bad faith on the Duke of Somerset, I request you to ask for me the indul gence of the House (as was recently accorded to the Arch bishop of Dublin) in permitting me, in this letter to your Lordship, to state the reasons which prevent me from attending in my place when the discussion shall come forward, Those reasons are stated in a letter which I wrote on the 28th ult. to Lord Radnor, a copy of which I request you to read to the House, as well as a copy of the letter to Lord Seymour, referred to in mine to Lord Radnor, and of Lord Seymour's answer to me, all of which I now enclose. I further request yeu to state to the House, after reading that answer, that the newspaper transmitted by me was the Western Times, of Saturday, the 25th ult., that it was put into the envelope in my presence by my solicitor, in his own office; that it was sealed by him, and put into the post-office at Exeter by him ; that my solicitor took the pre caution of marking the copy of the Western Ti mes , so placed by him in the envelope, with my letter ad dressed to Lord Seymour ; aed that he and his clerk declare, and will be ready to testify, that neither of them ever had in his possession a Gloucester Jo urna l, nor, to the best of their recollection, ever saw one— that it was, therefore, absolutely impossible that such a paper should have been inserted in the envelope before it was put into the post-office at Exeter. I will add, that I myself have not for many years had in my possession, nor even seen, a Gloucester paper ; that I could not, therefore, hive transmitted such a paper to Lord Seymour. • " I am, my dear Lord, yours most faithfully, " H. EXETER. " The Hon. and Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells. " P.S. I think it right to add one or two brief passages from the reported speech of Lord Seymour, on which I offered to meet him before a jury :—' He (the Bishop of Exeter) rose calmly and deliberately to make this statement. It is a calm, deliberate, collected statement, and I proceed to show you that that that calm, deliberate, and emphatje statement is a delihe. rate falsehood.' Again, ' Therefore he (the Bishop) not only made a charge diametrically contrary to the truth; but he made a malicious charge, for the purpose of giving a false im putation to the individual in question.'" This was the letter which he had received. Now, with the permission of the House, he should read the copy of a letter addressed by the Bishop of Exeter to the Noble Earl near him who had just addressed the House : " Toruay, Jul 2 1846. "My Lord,--Being in Exeter ßishopstowe, this da q y, I have y received the letter of yesterday's date with which your Lordship has ho noured me, intimating your intention of making a statement in the House of Lords, at the desire of his Grace the Duke of Somerset, in order to remove the imputation of bad faith which, in my speech of the 23d of June, I cast upon him.' I thank your Lordship for saying that you should be unwilling .bat this should be done in my absence,' and expressing your • hope that I will let you know, at my earliest convenienf-e, what day will suit me to be in the House.' It wou l d h ave given me very great satisfaction to haveavailed myself of your Lordship's courteous and candid proposition, had not circum stances occurred which have rendered it imperative on me to forbear at present from personally bearing part in the dis cussion. Those circumstances are, indeed, such as may possibly induce your Lordship to reconsider your purpose of dealing with the matter at present in the House of Lords. They are as follows :—Lord Seymour, who, as the Duke's eldest son, must be considered by me as having acted in such a matter with the cognizance and approbation of his father, recently called a public meeting, which was hoiden on Tuesday, the 21st inst., at the Mayoralty Room, Totnes, (the Mayor presiding), by a }and bill, stating, that Lord Seymour would address his constituents, and at the same time correct certain statements which had been made respecting the chapel at Bridgetown.' At this meeting the speech of Lord Seymour was of such a character as compelled me to write to him a letter, a copy of which I have the honour to enclose, to gether with the newspaper, in which the report of it (which is generally, as I hear, understood to be accurate) was given to the world. I have also directed that a Bill of indictment be preferred at the Exeter Assizes, new in progress, against the editor of the newspaper, for his peculiar share in the publica tion. As I shall present myself as a witness in the prosecu tion of the indictment, in order that I may be submitted to cross-examination upon oath relative to the facts of the case, I feel that I ought not to yield (as my first impression was to yield) to the temptation of bearing part in the discussion which your Lordship has informed me it is your intention to introduce in the House of Lords. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, " Your Lordship's (,betlient servant, " IL EXETER. " The Earl of Radnor. " P. S. If your Lordship should continue in the intention of making your statement, 1 would request that you will give me as early notice of the day as possible, and that it be not earlier than Tuesday next (a day which your letter permits me to name), in order that I may request some friends to attend and report to me the purport of what your Lordship shall say." lle should next proceed to lay before their Lordship 3 a cory of a letter addressed by the Bishop of Exeter to Lord Seymour Bishopstowe, Torquay, July 28, 1846. " My Lord,---My attention has beer. called to the report of the proceedings of a public meeting holden at Totnes on Tuesday last, and especially of a speech therein stated to have been delivered by your Lordship on that occasion. I now send to your Lordship a copy of the newspaper, the Western Times, of Saturday, the 25th inst., in which the re port is given. The sentiments and tone ascribed to your Lordship in the reported speech are such as forbid all remark or oomment on my part. But I have no hesitation in making to your Lordship a proposition, which I am bound to suppose will not be lightly rejected,—that your Lordship shall either deny the general accuracy of the report, or if it be, in the main part of it, accurate, that you make such admission of its accuracy as shall put me in a position to call on you to justify the speech, as reported, and prove the truth of its main allegations before a jury of our country.—l am, my Lord, your Lorth•hip's obedient servant, " 11. EXETER. " The Lord Seymour. " P.S. I request your Lordship to return to me the news paper which I now send, with any statement which your Lord ship may think fit." The answer returned by Lord Seymour he should read, as the last document he should lay before them : " Spring-gardens, Wednesday, July 29, 1846. " Lord Seymour declines all communication with the Bishop or Exeter, and is not desirous of icadlng toe Gloucester Jour nal which the Bishop has transmitted." ( The Right Rev. Prelate made no further observations. The reply of Lord Seymour to the Bishop of Exeter occasioned a loud laugh, and then the subject dropped.) LAW INTELLIGENCE. SECONDARIES' COURT, August 5. (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) GUNN V. KIMPTON. This was an action to recover the sum of 4!. 18s., for print ing bills and cards for the defendant, the patentee of the patent India corn bread. The defendant had suffered judgment to go by default, and a curious discussion arose as to the right of any person to address the Court in his behalf except counsel, defendant not having entered an appearance. A young man said, that he had been looked on and treated as the defendant, and therefore considered he ought to have the opportunity of showing he was not. The SECONDARY said, if he was not the defendant he could not be heard at all. It was a very great pity that a professional gentleman had not been engaged, or his advice taken. The jury, if they gave a verdict against the de fendant, would do it against Thomas Kimpton, and it would be for the plaintiff to see that the execution was enforced against the right party. Mr. Kimpton, jun., then said that he should call his father, and prove that he was the patentee, and the orders had been given by him through him (the speaker). The SECONDARY—Then he is the defendant, and you can not be heard, nor can he give evidence. Mr. Kimpton, jun.—But I gave the order, and am looked on as the defendant. . Mr. Kimpton, sen., said he was not the defendant. The SECONDARY—This comes of irregularities; you in tended to prove your father gave the order through you; the only way you could get his evidence was by his proving he was not the defendant, and as you gave the orders you must stand the consequence. • The jury said they were perfectly satisfied, and gave a verdict for the amount claimed. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT, Guildford, TVednesday, Aug. 5. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE and a COMB3OII Jury.) YOUNG V. KNIGHT. This was an action of slander. The declaration stated that a marriage was about to take place between the plaintiff and one Clarissa Charrington, and that in consequence of certain slanderous expressions made use of by the defendant respecting the plaintiff, the lady re fused to marry him, and he :sought to obtain damages for the injury and loss he had sustained by means of such refusal. Mr Montigue Chambers and Mr. James were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Shee for the defendant. Mr. CHAMBERS stated the case for the plaintiff, who, he said, bad been compelled to bring the pre sent action in order to vindicate his character for the gross attack that had been made upon it by the de fendant. He then proceeded to state that the plaintiff was a respectable young man, who carried on the busi ness of a furrier in London, and the defendant was a fishmonger in that city. The plaintiff had been intro ,fused to the family of a lady named Charrington, re siding at Croydon, and in a short time an affection had sprung up between him and the daughter of that lady, and it was eventually arranged, with the consent of the young lady's mother and all her family, that she and the plaintiff should be married, and the ceremony was fixed to take place in the month of May. On the 13th of March, however, the defendant happening to meet with a person named Anderson, who was related to the Charrington family, took upon himself to say that the plaintiff was a scamp, and ad v i se d hi m to prevent t h e marriage ; and in consequence of this communication, which was, of course, conveyed to the mother of the young lady, she refused to allow the marriage to take place. The plaintiff had, of course, been very much annoyed and injured by such a proceeding, his prospect of being speedily united to the woman of his choice had been destroyed, and when the jury were informed that there was not the . least pretence for casting any imputa tion upon the character of the plaintiff, he was sure they would feel that it was a case calling for such an amount of damages as would satisfy the world and the family with which he sought to be connected, that there was no ground for the attack that had been made upon the plaintiff by the defetiblnt. Mr. Frederick Atkinson deposed that he was cousin to Mrs. Charrington, and was acquainted with defendant. He was also acquainted with the plaintiff, and he had in troduced him to Mrs. Charrington and her daughter, and he had heard that the young lady and the plaintiff were to have been married on the 16th of May. Witness met defendant in March, and he asked him how Mr. Young was getting on, and he replied, he believed very well, and added that he was going to be married to one of his relations. The defendant upon this said, "By all means put a stop to it —there is not a greater scamp in existence, and his father does not know what a scamp he has got in his family." lie communicated what the defendant had said to Mr. Joseph Freeman, who was a trustee for Miss Charrington, and a friend of the family ; and the statement of the defendant was subsequently communicated to Mrs. Charrington. The defendant told him that what he said was in confidence, and he asked him not to mention it, but witness thought it was his duty to tell Mrs. Cherrington what had occurred. Cross-examined— He introduced the plaintiff to Mrs. Charrington in July last year, and he understood that the parties were engaged to be married after the fifth visit, and from that time Mr. Young was received by Mrs. Charrington as her daughter's suitor. Mrs. Charrington deposed that she was the mother of Miss Clarissa Charrington, the lady alluded to in the de claration. She remembered a communication being made to her by Mr. Freeman, on the 16th of April, respecting the plaintiff, who was at that time engaged to be married to her daughter ; and in consequence of that communication she wrote a letter to the plaintiff, requesting him to discontinue his visits to her house, and breaking off the engagement that existed b e t ween him and her daught e r. Sh was induced to make this communication solely in consequence of what she heard from Mr. Freeman, as having been stated by the de fendant. Cross-examined—The day for the marriage had only been fixed shortly before the communication in question, but the plaintiff and her daughter were engaged to be married a long time before she broke off the marriage, in consequence of hearing that the plaintiff had been described as a scamp. The plaintiff did come to her house afterwards, but she had never sanctioned any intimacy between him and her daughter since she had received the communication from Mr: Freeman respect ing the plaintiff. .Sergeant SHEE asked the witness whether she did not know that her daughter and the plaintiff were at the present time engaged to be married ? Mrs. Charrington said she did not. On being further cross examined, she said the plain tiff, and her daughter, and herself had travelled twice, backwards and forwards, from Guilford, in the same railway carriage, and that they had been at the same inn, but she said it was an accidental circumstance. Sergeant SREE—And have you not seen your daugh ter sitting close to the plaintiff ?—(A laugh.) Witness ---I cannot say. Sergeant SHEE—NOW, have you not seen them kiss one another when they have parted at night ?—(Laugh ter.) Witness—lf they have, I have not seen it. Sergeant SHEE—Do yon not know that they have agreed to be married, notwithstanding what has hap pened, and that the time is fixed ? Witness—lt is not to my knowledge. Sergeant SHEE—Oh ! you do not seem to be in their se3rets.—(Renewed laughter.) Mr. Baron PARKE, at this stage of the case, suggested that the case should be put an end to by some amicable arrangement. There did not appear to be any grounds for casting an imputation upon the character of the plaintiff Sergeant SHEE said there never was such an inten tion, and he considered the evidence did not support the allegation in the declaration. Mr. JAMES, on the part of his client, consented to accept of a nominal verdict, on condition that the defen dant paid the costs of the action and the expense that had been incurred by the plaintiff. Mr. .Baron P ARKE expresse d an op i n i on that this was avery.tair offer, and suggested the propriety of acced ing to it ; but M r . Sergeant Shee said his client was not present, and in his absence he could not do so ; and the case accordingly proceeded. Sergeant SUES addressed the jury for the defendant, and said he admitted that the defendant had made use of some indiscreet words, but he should contend that he was not amenable to the serious consequences that were attempted to b cast upon him by the present action. Ile submitted that the mere fact of calling a man a scamp amounted to nothing, unless it was sown that some actual injury had been occasioned to him in con sequence, and in the present instance it was for the jury to say what injury had been inflicted. True, it was said that the marriage of the plaintiff was postponed, but would the jury have the slightest doubt that although it did not, in point of fact, take place on the day origi nally intended, yet that the engagement was still con tinued, and that the parties had the full determination to be married the moment this action was disposed of. He should then submit to the jury that although the defendant might have acted indiscreetly in making the communica tion he did to Mr. Atkinson, still not the slightest in jury had been occasioned by it, and that he ought not to have been compelled to defend an action under such circumstances, or be called upon to pay damages when in reality no damage had been sustained. Mr. Baron PARKE summed up, and the jury after de liberating for a few minutes, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 504 OXFORD ClRCUlT—Hereford, Aug. 2. 'rho commission for this county was yesterday opened by Lord Chief Justice Wilde. There are 23 prisoners for trial, of whom one is charged with cutting and maiming with intent to murder, one with assault and robbery, ten with burglary, five with house breaking, two with horse-stealing, and lour with larceny. In the list there are sixteen causes, of which eight are special jury cases. This morning the Lord Chief Justice attended Divine service at All Saints' Church, the repairs of •the cathedral not being yet completed. August 3. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAUL..) John Churchill, aged 28, wa3 indicted for having, on the Bth of January last, cut and maimed Elizabeth Morris with intent to murder her. Mr. Skinner appeared for the prosecution; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Huddleston. From the evidence for the prosecution the following ap peared to be the facts :—The prosecutrix, the gatekeeper of a turnpike in the parish of St. Weonard's, lived in the toll house with her three children, the eldest of whom was a girl of 15. On the night of the 7th of January last, Mr. Wanklyn, a farmer in the neighbourhood, passed through the gate, and as she expected him to pass again through it on his way back, she did not go to bed, but waited fur him. About nine show threw herself on the bed where her children slept, leaving the candle lighted. She kept all the toll money, amounting to 3/. 45., in a tea-caddy, which she kept in her room. A little before ten she heard a noise outside the house, and some one cried out "Gate." Thinking that it was Mr. Wanklyn returning, she got up, and going to her door unbolted it, and saw a man there whom she knew to be the prisoner, having seen him several times before. She was just about to speak to him when he struck her a blow on the head; she endeavoured to force the door to against him, but he struck her again. She begged of him to let her say, " Lord, save me," but he said nothing. The prisoner, as she alleged, then dragged her to a heap of coal ashes, where she fell down insensible. On recovering, she went to the house' of Mrs. Williams, where, however, she did not get in, and returned to her own house, when she saw her children, very much alarmed, stand ind in the road without any clothes on. She then went to the house of Richard Morgan, whom she roused, and by whom, together with his sons, she was assisted to get home and to bed. There was some discrepancy as to what passed on the way to her house, and while there. The prosecutrix most positively denied ever having said that she did not know who it was that bad struck her, which was corroborated by Morgan, the father, and one of his sons, Charles; while his other son, Joseph, also present, said, that on the road he asked her whether she knew who had struck her, when she said she did not, and that she made a similar answer when he put the same question to her in the house. She was put to bed, and soon after Mr. Wanklyn came by and saw her : he described the wounds, which he dressed, as of a very serious character indeed in his judgment The next morning the prisoner was brought before the prosecutrix, when she told him, after looking a short time at him, what he had done. He said he had not done it. She, noticing that he had a white hat, said, " You had not that same hat on last night ;" and he said, " No, I had not." She at this time considered herself dying, for she said to the prisoner, "As I hope to be saved, and I know I shall die before night, you are the person as struck me the blows on the head," to which he answered " T am innocent, Missus ; but if you say lam guilty, I must suffer." She then said, " But you had not that hat on." To which he replied, " No, I had my black hat on." At this time there were in the room several persons, and among them Captain Farmar, the magistrate, and a woman, named Susannah Jeffries. This woman stated that on the night of the assault she had heard the prosecutrix repeatedly say that she would not swear " punctually" to the prisoner; that when she opened the door a man had struck her, and that she was sure there were two men. Mrs. Jeffries said, that on the morning of the Bth, while Mr. Wanklyn and Captain Farmar were iu the room, who could both hear what passed, the prosecutrix had said (in answer to Captain Farmar) that she had one or two sights at the man who struck her, but she would not " punctually" swear to the prisoner. Elizabeth Morris, the daughter of the prosecutrix, said, that she woke on the night of the 7th, and saw a man in the bedroom, who had a candle in his hand. He was opening the money-box. She could not see his face. There was some money in silver and copper on the mantel-piece and window in the next room, which the prisoner entered, and while be was there the girl heard some copper fall. Tue next day the money was gone. Soon after search was made, and under a holly-bush the tea or money-box of the prosecutrix was found, and a track of footsteps, the marks of which exactly corresponded with those made by the prisoner's shoes, was discovered, beginning at the back of the turnpike-house, and going directly to the bush. For the prisoner witnesses were called, some of whose evidence has been noticed above, to establish a case, first in the nature of an Wild, by showing that the prisoner had been at different houses in the neighbourhood, and at 10 by the clock in his brother's house, where he lived, he had returned there, and given to his brother-in-law, who also re turned there, his portion of some money he had received from Thomas ➢Morgan that night. It was stated positively by his brother-in-law and his brother that he was quite calm when he returned, and that he went to bed soon after 10 by their clock, which was half an hour fast. Vie prisoner's brother• in-law spoke to some facts respect ng his knowledge of where the prisoner was on the night of the 7th, and also about one of the Morgans coming to look after his brother Joseph at their house; but the constables positively negatived the first portion of his evidence, and the latter was not very material. Witnesses to the character of the prisoner were called, but Alone appeared. Mr. Wanklyn, however, stated that he had known the prisoner for seven years, and had never heard anything against him before. Mr. HDDDLESTON replied on the evidence adduced to con tradict the prisoner's witnesses. Mr. SKINNER replied generally, after which His LORDSHIP summed up, and the jury, after deliberating for half an hour, found the prisoner Guilty of cutting and wounding with intent to do some grievous bodily harm. The Learned JUDGE sectenced the prisoner to transporta tion for 15 years. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Bodinin, Aug. 3. The commission for holding the assizes for the county of Cornwall was opened here on Saturday night, about 11 o'clotk, by Mr. Justice Erle, who had been detained at Exeter. The business is heavy for this county, there being 16 causes for trial, and 23 prisoners in the calendar. It is hardly possible to conceive a reason for so short a time having been allowed for the assizes in this county; the usual time was a week ; but now the commission day was last Saturday, and the assize 3 for Somerset commence on Thursday at Wells, a long distance off, and very difficult to be got at; business must, therefore, of necessity, be much hurried. A learned Judge now on the bench has been heard to say that in his opinion there was little justice done by candle light. The minds of jurymen cannot be kept alive to the true facts of a case for so many hours. Surely nine hours a day are sufficient for a jury to be penned up in an incon venient box ; there is quite enough difficulty for them to overcome in endeavouring to ascertain the truth of a com plicated case, made still more so by what is termed the in genuity ofcounsel, without having fatigue and inconvenience added to it. Yesterday the Learned Judges (Mr. Baron Platt having arrived at an early hour in the morning) attended Divine service, and this morning their Lordships commenced the business of the assizes. Mr. Justice Erie presiding in the Crown Court, and Mr. Baron Platt sitting at Nisi Prius. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Newcastle, Aug. 3. (Before Mr. Justice CRESWELL. ) BROWN V. WANLISB. In this action, which was partly tried on Saturday, the plaintiff sought compensation in damages for a malicious pro secution by the defendant, who had procured him to be taken before a magistrate on a charge of sheep stealing. Mr. Watson, Mr. Ingham, and the Hon. Mr. Liddell, were for the plaintiff; Mr. Martin and Mr. H. Hill, for the de fendant. It appeared that the plaintiff occupies, with his father and brothers, a farm at Elsdoo, in this county, which they hold of Mr. Selby. He is a sheep farmer. The defendant is also a sheep farmer at Biddleston, about ten miles from the plain tiff's farm, sad it appeared that in the month of December last the defendant, alleging that he had lost four gimmer sheep, cime with his brother to the plaintiff's farm, and said he had information that one of the sheep was there. He went over the premises, and some time after returned with a constable, and under a magistrate's warrant took the plaintiff and his brother Thomas into custody, and seized a gimmer sheep, which, he said, was one of those lie bad lost. The prisoners were removed to Alnwick, a distance of fifteen miles, and the complaint was heard the next day before the Rev. Robert Goodenough and dismissed. It was contended that the defendant had acted maliciously in the transaction, in revenge for some offence which bad been offered him by the plaintiff in a former dispute respect ing a sheep, which it was said had wandered from the plain tiff's to the defendant's land, and which the defendant had been obliged to restore. It did not appear, however, that he bad made any difficulty about returning it, when satisfied that it was the property of the present plaintiff. Evidence was adduced to show that the sheep found at the plaintiff's was his own and not the sheep of defendant. On the other side it appeared from the evidence of John Wanliss, that he, and the defendant, his brother, had a farm at Garrard, not far from that occupied by the plaintiff: The farms were it appeared quite open, without any fence to prevent the sheep straying' into those adjoining, and the animals of each owner were distinguished by a peculiar mark, usually on the ear. After the clipping in July, and the salving in November, " gatherings" of the f armers were held for the purpose of restoring any stray sheep which might be found among the flocks, and sometimes a large number of sheep, which had got into many hands, would be found at one of these gatherings. The witness tranliss stated that the defendant had lost four gimmer sheep; and he deposed that of these the sheep now in question was one. It appeared from the testimony of other witnesses, that the defendant had received positive information of the sheep I being at the plaintiff's before he went there to s ee k it. t was sought, too to discredit the ev id ence of' Thomas Brown, the plaintiff's brother, in which he professed to identify the sheep as that of the plaintiff's, by showing that he had at one time stated he had never seen it until the end of July, and that if it were his brother's, it would eat turnips, a thing which sheep will not usually do without training, n o whereas others of the pl a i n tiff' s w i tnesses said it had been of the plaintiff's breeding, an d on tru i ng the sheep with turnips it was only after a period of two days that it could be induced to eat them. It was sought to show, also, that themiearks.of the sheep The in questio n h a d b een t ampered with. plaintiff's marks were a notch out of the right ear, and a slice off the margin of the other. The defendant's shee p h ad tWO oraall notches close to one another on the left ear, at the same place as the plaintiff's mark. The sheep in question had a notch out of the right ear, but this seemed to have been lately done, and on the left ear it was, it was alleged, apparent the mark had been altered, in asmuch as the edge of the cut had no hair on it, except at one extremity, which it was supposed had formed the side of one of the old notches, which had been cut away in taking off the slice which constituted the peculiar mark of the sheep belonging to the plaintiff. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, left it to the jury to say whether the act of the defendant was malicious. They would say, if they thought the defendant had lost the four sheep, whether he had not grounds for suspecting they had been stolen ? and, secondly, if the defendant had been in formed of one of his sheep being on the plaintiffs premises, and believed it from the description to be his, whether he did not suspect that the mark had been fraudulently altered, and that the other sheep were secreted on the premises? The jury, after being in consultation for an hour-and-a half, stated that they were of opinion the defendant had not acted maliciously. A verdict was accordingly entered for the defendant. DoxFonD AND ANOTHER V. ICING. This was an action to recover the amount of an insurance effected on the schooner Helen, which was, with her cargo of coals, lost at Bridlington in the month of April last. Mr. Watson and Mr. 11. Hill were for the plaintiffs; Mr. Martin and Mr. Atherton for the defendant. At the Durham assizes, just concluded, the captain and crew of the Helen had been tried on a charge of feloniously casting the vessel away, but were all acquitted. The plaintiffs had, it appeared, in the month of October last, effected an insurance on the ship for i 2 months, for GOO/. They afterwards disposed of her to a ➢lr. liutchin son, by whom she was, in April last, sent on a voyag.l to Swinemunde in the Baltic. She had proceeded some way' on her voyage, but, meeting with a head wind and severe weather, she was found to have sprung a leak; and the water increasing at the rate of pore than three feet an hour, the captain put about and ran for tile Humber. Late on the evening of the 26th of April she was seen passing Flamborough-head, and ran some distance into Bridlington Bay, in which a number of vessels were then lying, and there, at a distance of two or three miles from the shore, she, early the following morning, went down at her anchors. She had been insured for 600/.; but, it was admitted, worth a considerably larger sum. The loss, in the present declara tion, was alleged to have occurred by the perils of the seas. A number of witnesses were called to show that the vessel was seaworthy when she sailed on the voyage in question. She was an American built ship, built three or four years before, and had undergone extensive repairs shortly before on the slip at Sunderland. The captain was examined, and gave an account of the voyage, from which it would appear that the severe weather and heavy sea had caused her to spring the leak which caused her loss. He had put back to. wards the Hur.nber, because with that wind and the ship:in that condition the more northern ports would not have been safe to enter. For the defence it was contended that the ship was unsea worthy, and for this purpose a number of witnesses were called who had examined her after she was got ashore, and who stated that all her upper timbers and planking were very much decayed. The vessel, it appeared, after going down had with the force of the sea b2aten against the bottom until her timbers gave way, and the coals coming out, she partially floated, and her masts being cut away she was towed ashore. It was then found that some holes had been bored through her bottom, from a place adjoining the cabin called the lazarette, a hole having been cut in the ceiling so as to enable an auger to reach the outer planking. An auger and chisel were found among the coals. It was on these facts contended that the loss took place by barratry. 111 r. WATSON i❑ reply contended that the vessel was sea worthy on the evidence, not of those who had seen her when broken up by the sea, but those who bad repaired her before she sailed on the voyage, and that in all probability the holes in question had been bored by some one during the six days the vessel was lying in the beach for the purpose of letting out the water. No motive for such an act could be suggested on the part of the captain or crew. The :jury found that the vessel was seaworthy, and that she was lost by perils of the sea.—Verdict for the plaintiff. The case of "Ford v. the Marquis of Waterford" is not yet concluded. NORTH WALES ClRCUlT.—Chester, Aug 3. The business of these assizes commenced this day before Lord Chief Justice Denman and Mr. Baron Rolfe. The calendar contains 31 prisoners, of whom two are charged with arson, 1 burglary, 4 cutting and maiming, 1 forgery, 2 horse stealing, 4 manslaughter, 2 murder, 5 with rape, 3 receiving stolen goods, 4 with stealing from the per son, 2 unnatural crime, and 1 with a minor offence. CROWN couriT.—(Before Mr. Baron Ror.YE.) His LORDSHIP took his seat in this Court this morning at 10 o'clock, when the grand jury (of whom Sir R. Brooke, of Norton Priory, was foreman), having been sworn, the charge was delivered. The Learned Judge referred generaly to the various cases in the calendar, and explained the law relating to them, but particularly to one from Runcorn, where a man and his wife are charged with the wilful mur der of two of their own offspring, by the administration of arsenic, for the purpose of obtaining money from a funeral club to which the children belonged, and also with attempt ing to poison a third. These shocking offences, it was alleged had been committed by the parents for the purpose of get ting a small stun of money from the burial clubs to which the children belonged ; and the motive of the crime appeared to be such a totally inadequate one, that it almost appeared to be impossible that it could have prompted such an offence. Experience, however, had unfortunately proved that in some cases which had occurred, even in this part of the country, that motive had operated but too powerfully, and what had happened might no doubt happen again. Great as this charge was, he did not know that it would present any diffi culty in its investigation. They would have to consider, in the first instance, whether the children had met with their deaths by poison ; and then, whether that poison had been taken accidentally, or administered by the persons who were charged with giving it designedly. On the first ques tion they would depend upon the confidence they reposed in the medical and scientific inquiries which had been instituted ; and if satisfied that the deaths had occurred from poison, they would further have to inquire how far the accused were implicated in its administration. The Court was then detained for upwards of an hour, wait ing for bills. A bill was at length returned against Thomas Bell, fur a felonious assault on a child of tender years. The prisoner, who was out on bail, was called on his recogni zances; but net answering, his own and sureties' bail was ordered to be estreated. ARSON.— William Hewett, twenty-seven, pleaded" Guilty" to an indictment charging him with setting fire to a stack of hay at 13rinnington, the property of John Millward, and was sentenced to fifteen years' transportation. Ho ILSE STEALING.—Joseph Nuttall, twenty-one, pleaded " Guilty" to an indictment charging him with stealing a mare, at Macclesfield, the property of James Medley.—Sen tence deferred. MANSLAUGHTER BY A BOY.—An innocent-looking boy, named John Jackson, aged thirteen, was indicted for killing and slaying a girl named Mary Ridgway, at Chorley, in this county, on the 7th of April last. It appeared from the evidence adduced, that the prisoner had induced a neighbour to lend him a gun loaded with dust shot, for the purpose of killing sparrows ; that he had gone out with it to a yard where the deceased was engaged washing the face of her brother, when he threatened to shoot her, and actually pointed the gun, and fired it off within a few yards of her. The whole contents lodged in her face, and produced almost instantaneous death. lie was found Guilty, and The Learned JUDGE, after reprehending the party who had lent the gun, sentenced the prisoner to four days' im• prisonment. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN.) The cause list contains only nine cases, two of which are special juries, and possess some interest. The whole of the common jury cases, which were of no public interest, were disposed of to-day. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, These sessions commenced on Tuesday before Mr. Sergeant Adams, the Assistant Judge, and the usual bench of magis trates. The calender is a very heavy one for these sessions, containing the names of no less than 126 prisoners, of which number 102 are charged with felony, and the remainder with assaults, misdeameanours, &c. The grand jury having been sworn, the Learned Judge delivered his charge to them, but there was nothing in it that called for a repurt. Edward Betteson, aged 16, and John Robert Durnford, aged 15, were convicted on the clearest evidence of stealing a Ivooden box value one shilling, the property of Thomas Maltwood. Each of these juvenile offenders protested his own innocence and endeavoured to prejudice the case of his companion by telling the Court that he bad been "in trouble" five or six times before. The latter part of their respective stories turned out to be true as regarded both of them; but while the first was telling his tale, the other coolly advised him to take care what he was about ; and as that did not stop his mouth, when it came to his turn to ad dress the Court, he acknowledged the compliment that had been paid him by stating all he knew of his companion. They were both sentenced to six months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. The other cases tried during the day were of no public in terest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A young man, of very gentlemanlike appearance and address, named Henry Bidwell Dunn, was brought before Alderman Gibbs yesterday, in the custody of John Forrester, upon a very serious charge of forgery. Mr. Bush, of the firm of Bush and Mullins, the so licitors to the Co:nmittee of Bankers for Prorection against Forgeries and Frauds, appeared for the prosecu tion; and Mr. Woe lfe, from Mr. Flower's offices, at tended for the defence. Mr. Bush stated that the prisoner was a clerk in the highly respectable firm of Hooper, Birch, and Ingram, of Lincoln's Inn-fields, solicitors, and had been dealing in the railway shares with which the Stock Exchange was so abundantly supplied. It happened, that in the progress of his dealings in that line, he had access to the office of Mr. Rickards, a stockbroker of considerable eminence, out of whose Canker's book a leaf containing five cheques had been furtively abstracted. One of these cheques had been filled up with the amount of 248/. 15s , and the name of Mr. Rickards, and the amount was ob tained from the firm of Barclay, Bevan, Hanbury, and Tritton, the bankers of that gentleman. The only mode of connecting the prisoner with the forged cheque was the following:---The cheque was dated the 10th of No vember, 1845, a n d was paid in 5L and 10/. Bank of England notes. Two days afterwards the prisoner was sent by a fellow-clerk fora Post-office order for eleven shillings. The evidence would show that cash was given to the prisoner to obtain that order, but one of the notes obtained from Messrs. Barclay and Co. in payment of the forged cheque was paid at the Post-office by the pri soner instead of the cash given to him by his fellow clerk. The prisoner was stlso constantly sent by his employer to pay large sums of money to their bankers, and on the 15th of November ho paid in to Messrs. Barclay and Co. four others .of the notes which were the proceedsof nfr etoohtetsh from notes forged his rgedchequ e, he not h av i ng rece i ve d h e :bad employers, aetu a b l u ly t r h e a c v e i i n v g e d s u f b r s o t m i - theset u t e d them four them, and having paid th..ee of the notes received from them to a deposit account i vhich he had opened with the London and Westminster Bank (Bloomsbury branch) on his own account. Mr. John Mitchell, cashi 2r to Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, and Co., bankers, produced a cheque for 2481. 155., pur porting to be signed by Mr. Rickard, who had kept an ac count with the house fora considerable time. It was presented on the 10th of N :.vernber last by a man, but witness could not say by w bom. He paid five notes of Si. each, twenty of 101. ea cb, and 231. 15s. in cash. (Hero Mr. Mitchell stated the number and dates of the notes.) The note for 101, N O. 55,573, August 11, 1845, was one of the notes so paid :away. Mr. Rickard, of Bank-cl , mbers, stockbroker, stated that he kept, and had for al ainy years kept, cash at Bar clay's. The pheque pro' Awed by Mr. Mitc4ll Wits not in his handwriting,, to his knowledge. He knew notbing of the body of the cheque, or of such a person as B. L eson, and he had no transaction pith any such patois in November last. Ile had known the prisoner for twelve months past, and had transacted business for biro ~a several occa,ions, and had signed cheques upon Bar cl ry frequently f,r him. The prisoner had had frequent access to witness's office, and had seen him draw and sign cheques. The cheque produced was cut out of wit' ness's book. In answer to questions by Mr. Woolfe, the witness said he firmly believed the signature to the cheque was not is his handwriting. He had seen the cheque in November last, and he directly said that it was a forgery. He perhaps signed 10,000 cheques in the year. He had had transaTt tions with the prisoner since the sth of May, 18 45 ' was possible he might have referred to the forgery in the presence of the prisoner, but he did not recollect such !I thing, There was a disputed account between the pm' soner and him, and he wished to see the prisoner, w 134" was indebted to him, on that account. Had not Beta him more than five times since November. Mr. Woolfe—When did you first hear of the 10/.11,01 having been paid at the post-office? Mr. Ricka rd till the other day, when I saw Mr. Bush, in whose ben' I left this busi h—H ness. Mr. Busow did the debt to you arise ?

He knew the prisoner's handwriting we ll, - believed te writing uon the note to be his. 11 1 ° Cross-exam—Ha p d unlimited confidence prisoner's integrity. Mr. John Richards, of Maize-hill, Greenwi c p u i c y? licitor, stated, that in November last he was enl in the office of Messrs. Rooper, Burch, and legrara v • os t. November last he requested the prisoner to get 11 , 2 ` e rrit office order for eleven shillings, payable to Marl the and he believed the order produced was the 013 1 1 01 prisoner brought back. Witness did not give 1 1151 : - to note, but gave him change. Did not authorise 11113001 sign his (witness) name upon the note produced.std the prisoner's handwriting for about two year s, thought the writing on the note was his. tl O Mr. Woolfe said the question he had to pu i t • re' witness was most important to the prisoner, and id be ceived answers the most explicit. The witness was living on Maize-hill in November, and tber, e , ife — ss• " have been no difficulty in finding him by that a°'„i e rir: and up to May last the prisoner was his felleW — s ill and was seen by him almost daily. The prisoner 0901 the habit of paying large sums into Messrs. Rooill'aer Co., bankers, and witness had observed that the pre - of always had plenty of money of his own, irresP e44ll° the money belonging to the firm. hst 111 P Mr. Bush re-examined the witness, who said re' was aware that an inquiry was made in the 01117,061 specting some notes in November last. It was me " 01059' to him privately by his employers, and he, 01 f - iegt ° never repeated it. The prisoner sever said any him on te subect. Ro c " Mr. Bush then stated that he had to call g -/1 upon a new part of the case. Mr. W. H. Waterhouse, clerk in Praed's 10.1,,grara house, stated that Messrs. Rooper, Birch, and tbe kept a cash account at their house. He prodecet book town receipt-book for November, 1845, and i n thtl f /sTo' there was an entry of 219/. Os. 100., on the 15th ° vember to the credit of that firm. dia r i t Mr. Birch produced a memorandum book , and a .„ t he found in his office, and which he believe d to be is the hand-writing of the prisoner, and in these beeksdereci„ entries of the 15th of November, w hi c h he cons!„ of bad reference to matters connected wit h the subiu the charge. After some evidence of a complicated nature, Mr. Bush applied for a remand. M. Woolfe objected, and said that the case proeeeciel with exaordinary slowness Alderm tr an Ginns said the . case was full of dif fic a u t i g: and it certainly proceeded slowly, but that w as - butable to the nature of the subject. 1 1 111.10' er Mr. Bush said, the question wou ld lose the c so 'of tardiness, if the prisoner would show how be Pe' possessed of the note;. and- w ° Mr. Woolfe protested against such a del: b required to unfair to expect that a prisoner sh°u— prove his innocence ; it was for his guilt.
