PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. TIMES.—A meeting at a Mechanics' Institute is now a-days so usual an occurrence that it provokes but little general observation. And even the more ambitious of these reunions present very little to attract attention be yond the limits of the immediate neighbourhoods where they are held. We should, therefore, have suffered the recent soiree at the Bradford Institution to pass without comment, had it not been for the presence of Lord Mor peth, and the remarks which he addressed to the meet ing. Without givins , our adherence to the creed of those who believe that Mechanics' Institutes are to be the means of redeeming the human race from ignorance and barbarism to knowledge and refinement, we must admit that, under certain conditions and certain management, they may be productive of real good. But they require this certain management—they ought to be governed by these certain conditions—to prevent them from being perverted into ridiculous, if not pernicious, exhibitions. There is, perhaps, no temptation more alluring to the indulgence of froward self-conceit or impertinent garru lity than that which is presented to a fluent but ill informed speaker by the opportunity of addreising a worse-informed and illiterate audience. Ie such a case, vanity fans the flame of presumptuous sciolism, and the follies or prejudices of the many are fostered by the self-complacency of one. The flippant speaker and the heedless audience react upon one another to propagate and promote erroneous opiniens, or inaccu rate conjectures, which are more dangerous than utter ignorance. But the cass is far different when the teacher is able, erudite, and impartial, the audience docile, confiding, and unprejudiced. And there are few more graceful kinds of intellectual condescension than that which is manifested by a man of cultivated taste who courts the opportunity of instructing the unedu cated, refining the unpolished, and correcting the preju dices of the half-learned, amongst his less fortsnate neighbours. Nor will such an effort, in itself generous and kind, be maimed of its strength or deprived of its reward, if he who males it add to the natural gifts of talent and of taste the artificial advantages of birth and rank. Those who deS,st toadying and despise "flunkeyism " will yet reserve a proper admiration for him who makes rank and birth instruments for raising noble aspirations and encouraging exalted pursuits. And even those who profess a political detestation of all class distinctions will become reconciled to them in the person of one who not only does not disclaim, but proudly avows his con nexion with and devotion to the humanities of science, of literature, and of art. Associations of this kind have become among the facts of the d.sy. They exist, and they will continue to exist. The tone which they take, the spirit by which they are guided, the maxims which they evolve, pass into other assemblies and animate other associations. They are only one form of that federal propensi:y which is amongst the characteristics of oar time. The advantage, then—nay, the necessity and the duty—of giving them certain tendencies, of in:using into them certain principles, must be toe obvious to require any lengthy inculcation. When we recollect the facility with which men are now-a-days leagued together for purposes either social or political— either of good or el it—it is not unimportant that in the minds of the masses the idea of combination should be associated with the example of at least one society where good order is observed, sound knowledge imparted, and party prejudicos repudiated. As Lord Morpeth said, "It is most salutary to have some common neutral ground, where all can equally at times meet together without any restraint, save that of mutual self-respect." The violent invective, the coarse person alities, the ludicrous but baneful exaggeration, the taste less and tawdry declamation, which have been applauded at many public meetings, convened for great and useful purposes, compel one to regret that the minds both of the speakers and their hearers had not barn previously trained in schools of severe disicpline and sound taste. That preparation of course is forbidden to the many, still it may fairly be hoped that such meetings as these - will do something towards modifying that extravagance of opinion, and violence of Ling:lege, which often pro ceeds rather from the mutual repulsion of different classes and the want of specific information, than from political grievances or social oppression. If they merely bring together persons of different stations and occupations —if they lead the man of rank, the student, and the philosopher into the haunts of busy industry— they will have done much to consolidate the various elements of our system, and to destroy the too frequent but not inevitable causes of repugnance and antagonism. And when once the ice is broken, literature or science, or music, or amusement, will at least have th e oppor tunity of proving their legitimate influences. We can easily understand the Eton aspirations of Lord Morpeth, when he looks forward to the time that some scholars will introduce to the- knowledge of the Bradford me chanics " the blind old bard of Sci ‘'s rocky isle." Without, however, anticipating that period—perhaps not a distant one—we may profess ourselves content with hearing the " bard of all time," and " the minstrel of the North" well read and well criticised in an assembly of men who live by the labour of their hands. A multitude which can applaud Shakespere and appreciate Scott must cherish feelings of kindliness and humanity far higher and stronger than the passions of party or the jealousies of caste. A peer or a doctor of laws expound ing the philos• phy of Hamlet and the pathos of Mid lothian" to a congregation of mechanics, would present a study worthy of remark alike to the admirers and the assailants of our social system. CHRONICLE.—If the Queen's Ministers continue unconvinced of the necessity of instantly abolishing all artificial aggravations of a calamity against which they have already invoked both the prayers of the Church and certain extreme powers of the State, they will soon find themselves standing alone in their appreciation of public perils, -and their estimate of public duties. Every day brings with it new appeals to the prudence and sense of responsibility with which national opinion has largely credited the statesman now at the head of affsirs, and summons them with a force and distinctness that ought to be irresistible, to do the one thing which is clearly and certainly right. We may add, with all due respect for the very respectable motives which are no doubt at the bottom of an otherwise inexplicable hesita tion, that every day brings with it new rebukes to the tardiness of a Government which neglects to put its policy in agreement with its prayers, and indo lently allows a rather small proprietary, or delicacy, to overbear the dictates of a transcendent ne cessity. Two or three days ago we recorded the protest of the working men of our manufacturing metropolis against the continued maintenance of a system that darkens their immediate future with gratuitous difficulty and avoidable suffering and privation. Yesterday, our columns contained like protests from the capitalists of manufacturing industry, as represented in the Manches ter Chamber of Commerce and from the municipality of one of our most important seaports. To-day, it is our very painful duty to lay before the public, in a letter which we commend to the most deliberate attention of all classes of our readers, views of the condition and prospects of Ireland, and of the absolutely incalculable magnitude of the present and coming calamity, which dismally illustrate the unspeakable national absurdity— we know not why we should not say, the glaring na tional sin—of maintaining, in the face of famine, laws made against an inconvenient and exceptional plenty. We grieve to be obliged to say that our knowledge of our correspondent's sources of information, and our confidence in his judgment, compel us to regard the statements of this letter as coming nearer to the real truth, and the whole truth, of a mat ter which perhaps no man living is capable of yet com prehending in all its horrible integrity, than anything which we have yet presented to our readers. One almost despairs of saying anything that can strengthen an argument whose force lies in an axiomatic simplicity that really leaves the logic of advocacy nothing to do. How shall one " reason' such palpable truisms as those which our operative and our capital manufacturers have now united in urging on the practical consideration of her Majesty's Ministers? What need of justifying an alarm that grounds itself on facts notorious to the ;hole world—or of vindicating and enforcing a demand so strictly within the line both of an admitted exigency and a recognised policy? How describe the indescribable self-contradiction and fey of praying one wayand work ing another way—keeping up a barrier of certain miserable shillings against the very food which we implore Heaven to send us—helping our rivals in the world-wide competition for the raw material of life to forestall and outbid us ? In the very midst of a dis aster absolutely unexampled in British or European his tory—a disaster that erj ass every effort within tie power of the State to maximise our supplies of food, and minimise our consumption —at such a crisis to be still insisting on keeping up a little artificial scarcity and dearth of our own invention, and more than a little arti ficial waste and destruction! In the words of the Man chester Chamber of Commerce—" Extreme scarcity of food is inevitable ; if labour fail, that scarcity will be come famine. Prayers are directed to be offered up in our churches to have those evils averted, and yet one of our laws enacts, that whatever may be the price of wheat, the smallest duty to be paid upon the im port of it shall be 4s. per quarter ; another law decrees that food brought into the country by certain vessels shall not be eaten at all by our people ; whilst a third declares that nothing shall be used in our distilleries but that which would serve as food,' Well may the memorialists talk of "conflicting and cruel anomalies." This is burning the candle at both ends with a ven geance. Artificially diminished supply—artificially in creased consumption. Particular care taken by the State to keep out a little corn from a famine-stricken people ; particular care likewise taken by the State to waste a great deal. Why, what is this but a State pa tronage of famine? Here we have actually the law of the land, armed at all points, fighting on the side of fa mine. We must note with approval, and recommend for general imitation, the comprehensiveness of the prayer in which our Manchester memorialists sum up the demands that humanity and common sense now make on the Executive Government of the country. We have all been rather too apt to forget that the shillings of the scale are not the only form of the existing State bounty on famine. The admirable memorial before us most effectively suggests that something more than " the look of the thing" requires the in stant extinction of this system of national patronage and endowment of a national enemy. The memorialists " be lieve that to mitigate impending cal am iti es noth i ng less will be sufficient tha n to admit into our ports every s pecies of food necessary daily subsist ence , f ree o f uty ;to permit i t to be ught indiscriminately from every country by the vessels of every nation or fl ag, and to allow oar distill er i es and breweries use of sugar and molasses, witho ut re f erence to the have already brought, or may hereafter lvarensgelsthwemilictho us." We await, with a confidence that would i preclude anxiety if time were no o bj ect, the decision of tt;e vernment on the extrem e l y s i mple question now sub mitted- to its prudence and humanity. Lord John Russell is in possession of the inference which, arguing from his 0444cejaAt t ticiples, working men and capitalists isanak to the present duties and responsi -.WV ty ' 3 Ministers. It is now for Lord 14. *) 7 l .t: kl/- - - 7 ,/. / Zik# "''~% N fl S John Russell to tell the country what he infers from these premises. HERALD.—By man's unhallowed instrumentality, " requiescat in pace" has been turned into mockery. There is no peace for mere humanity, even in tl:e grave. Day after day, from one end of the metropolis to another, the awful plague-cry seems revived in a modified form— " Turn out the dead, turn out the dead." The spirit of D.:foe seems to hover over London, and to glory in im pelling its authorities to realise and renew some of the horrors of his semi-fictitious narrative. A powerful im pulse eviscerates our churchyards. Some insane rest lessness summons old and young—the mouldering skeleton of the last century and the fresh corpse of the present month—huddles them all together, and carts them off to Kingsland or to Battle-bridge. One day a trader in death who battens upon burials is found to cram his dark and putrefying receptacle until it bursts with repletion--the next, a city church yard or a pauper burial-ground] is irreverently disembowelled, the grave renders back its dead, and the accumulations of 3 ears are transported to a distance. Sex and age, social condition and personal identity, are utterly confounded. The ideas generated by such a picture may be painful and irritat ing,—tlie mere perusal of such a desecrating decription may be at once awful and disgusting; hut what are these compared with the reality of its performance? A skull in the waste grounds at Islington, an arm at King's cross, a foist at St. Giles's, a trunk at St. Pan ! eras, the remainder any where, horror and loathing everywhere. The latest exhibition we chronicled on. ' Thurseay. If the workhouse at St. Giles's requires en largement, the dead pauper makes way for the living. An infirmary, a dispensary, a casual ward, waiting rooms, bath-rooms, and other offices being required, the pauper churchyard is allowed by mere inadvertence to furmish a site. Some old sheds are demolished, and Its the foundations for the new buildings are gradually ex cavated, the ghastly remains of defunct humanity are extensively uncovered. Fetid gases are liberated in a state of powerful concentration—the diffusion of aerial foulness proceeds h the unchangeable rapidity which physical laws prescribe and natural science reveals—the miserable tenements of surrounding poverty are per meated with the odours of putrefaction—and the cham bers of the half-starved mechanic are filled with the ele ments of typhus. Public indignation echoing the whispers of conernisn propriety, which could scarcely fail to rise on their own lips, at length compelled the guardians of the poor to exhibit some amount of decency. The ex humated remains, we learn, were sent for reinterment to the St. Giles's Cemetery, in the St. Pancras-road, in stead of being any longer diffused in the rubbish of waste lands, to become the playthings of itinerant infancy. But after what fashion was this compromise with their duty effected? Black boxes, of any convenient size or shape, into which we are told some twenty bodies were indiscriminately thrust, furnished the machinery of trans portation. In the meantime the excavation makes pro gress, and the evolution of pestiferous gases proceeds apace. If the more! sense and decent feelings of hu manity recoil at the history of this loathsome transaction, we earnestly trust that the consequences of its publicity will be neither temporary nor personal. Under the cir cumstances, it may be asked what could the authorities at St. Giles's do, beyond that which they have effscted ? The answer is manifestly this—suspend or abandon this excavation of the dead to make room fur the living pauper. Our complaint is, not that St. Giles's workhouse and its churchyard are worse than other places, but, what is far more important, that other places are no better than St. Giles's. If a man builds a house, nay, if he erects a wall, or removes a partition, thp Buildings Act and its public officer era instantly on his back. A heavy fine teaches him that individual rty must yield to public safety. But what district surveyor interferes with the ploughing. and probing, and disturb ance of churchyards ? What officer of health exists en whom a notice of impending desecration could be served? What public functionary augments the speed, and main tains the decency of some imperative removal of the dead, when that lamentable necessity arises ? There is, in truth, no such person. Why we are so ill provided let our lawmakers answer ; with them the disgrace rests—with us the disgust remains. " The hcnour generally due unto all men," says Hooker, " maketh a decent interring of them to be conve nient, even for very humanity's sake :" how much more, then, are we called upon to disinter them decently. What right has any body of men to aggravate the horrors of dissolution ? The unimaginative minds of the vast majority of our population inseparably associate death with burial, but it has been reserved for the present generation to connect the ideas of dissolution with the indefinite terrors of wholesale body-snatching. The 3forgue and the Catacombs of Paris are as nothing com pared with the unblushing deeds committed in London churchyards. In a city where so little outward respect is exhibited for the human form in a condition of phy sical decay, men still wonder that amongst the lower orders living brutality is rife, and crime _is invested with no terrors. With what excusable scepticism must the ignorant and the dissolute regard the d o ctrin e of a future state and a superintending Providence, when they see that which was just now the residence of an immortal soul become the object of unrestrained insult and revolt ing desecration—when the funeral rites are scarcely for gotten, the mourning garment scarcely worn out, before thisl rites become a mockery, and that garment a dis gusting reminiscence. Sorrowing relatives rememb er that they laid the mort a l rema i ns of their lost friend in the grave of his fathers ; can they say the next week where those remains are tilt n ?—even the dead travel. But the voice of public opinion, if once roused, will be found to possess no temporising utterance ; the groan from noisome prisons met the ear of Howard not in vain ; the iron fetters of slivery encountered the eyes of Clarkson not bootlessly the spirit of military flogging quailed under the gaze of an independent press ; and the desecration of the dead, if encountered with one tithe of the same earnestness and determination, will expiate its atrocities with equal certainty and completeness.

RUMOURED LOSS BY FIRE OF ONE OF THE HA LIFAX AND BOSTON STEAMERS. The following is a letter received at Lloyd's this morning from their agent at Dublin, dated 15th inst., the substance of which no doubt gave rise to the rumour that one of the Halifax and Borten line of steamers had been destroyed by fire : " Dublin, Oct. 15th, 184 g. " Captain Roche, of the Torrence, reports that on the 30th ult.. at 10 o'clock r.ar., steering E.S.E., he fell in with a ship on fire to the northward. He immediately altered his course, and ran down to her, going as close as h e cou ld w i t h prudence in th e th en crippled state of the Torrence. As well as he could judge, she had been on fire some time, as her decks were all burnt excepting the topgallant forecastle. Flames were issuing out of the stern windows. From the time that Captain Roche made her out first he hoisted lights, in order that. should any of the crew or passengers happen to have taken to the boats and be in the neigh bourhood, they might see the position of the Torrence. During the night he ran clear before the wind, keeping a good look out, a heavy sea being on at the time. Captain Roehe's reasons for supposing the vessel to have been a steamer are—a short straight bowsprit, two tier of cabin win dows aft, sharp bows, high out of the water. He could per ceive irons on both sides amid-ships, where the paddles of a steamer would Li ; but from the smoke and the thicknem of the weather, he could not clear:y ascertain what she was. On he larboard bow he saw a small air port open." From Liverpool, Lloyd's have received_the following from .... I their Agent The remains of a vessel of about 356 tons, that had recently been burnt, with the Astrea from Wey mouth to Quebec lying by, was passed on the 25th ult., in lat. 45, lon. 53, by the Cambyses, arrived here. This is the only vessel reported on fire, besides the one noticed by the Torrence at Dublin, the latter of which was reported to be a steamer ; they were probably both derelicts, set on fire by some passing vessels, whose safety had been endangered by them." ROYAL BENEVOLENCE.—The whole of the chesnuts grown upon the royal domains in the Great Park at Windsor have been placed at the disposal of the paro chial authorities for the purpose of their being sold and the proceeds applied towards the relief of the poor of the parish, in any way which may be considered by the churchwardens and overseers most conducive to their comforts during the approaching winter. The quantity already gathered amounts to upwards of six hundred bushels. At the present market price of chesnuts it is expected that they will realise at least one hundred pounds. A large quantity still remain to be gathered ; and it is expected, when the whole are housed, there will be very nearly one thousand bushels.

LAW INTELLIGENCE COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, October 17, (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) BEAN V. JOHNSTON. This was an adjourned summons under the &mak, Debts Act. The plaintiff, it will be remembered, is the landlord of tke Greyhound Inn, at Croydon. and the de f uzend affairsa . f is hi a s s la e d r y ene w tioighhad Highnes s been the c i o ) s u e e c o t e r d B w r u i t n h s w the (the particulars of which were reported in The Sun of Saturday last). The defendant had contracted a debt of between 121. and 13/., but refused to pay, and a ver dict was recovered against her. The case was adjourned in order that the plaintiff might adduce evidence to show that the defendant possessed means to pay. At the request of the defendant, summonses were also granted against two gentlemen to attend. Mr. Bean said that he was labouring under a great difficulty to show she could pay the debt. He under stood from the defendant's offer, on the last examination, to hand over documents to show that she was entitled to property, that the defenaant meant to make out some thing was coming to her, out of which alone she could pay the debt, and therefore that defendant ought to make out her case. The Learned COMMISSIONER said Mr. Bean must show that the defendant was in a condition to pay. Miss Johnston called Mr. Warutord, a solicitor. Mr. Harrison, Mr. Warnford's managing clerk, said that he attended to produce a deed. Mr. Warnford was at the Judge's chambers, but would attnid in a short time, and regretted he could not do so at the moment. Mr. Hilling, a solicitor, appeared on behalf of Mr. Dudley, a relative of the defendant, and who had been summoned, and in answer to questions by the Learned Commissioner, said he did not think that the defendant had any interest in the property she claimed. Mr. Bean urged that the defendant had admitted on the last occasion that she had received money from his Serene Highness, and could receive more. The defendant said the last money she had received was in January last. She was an authoress. The de fendant then passed some very strong remarks on the case. The Learned COMMISSIONER cut short a warm con versation between the defendant, and Mr. Hillery, and Mr. Bean, by saying his duty was only to see whether the defendant had means. Mr. Hillery was the only one who spoke to the point, and he thought the de fendant had not means at present, and therefore no osier could be made ; if, however, it was shown hereafter that she could pay, an order would be granted. The defendant, who had a large packet of newspapers and documents, was proceeding to address the Court on " the whole matter in dispute," as she termed it, but was checked. ILFORD PETTY SESSIONS. On Saturday Charles Sayer, of 12, Swan-yard, Shore ditch, shoemaker ; James Edwards, of Old Castle-street, Shoreditch, shoemaker ; and Robert Edwards, of 26, Union-street, Hackney-road, shoemaker, were charged by the parish authorities with shooting at Ilford on Sun day, and " being found in the parish of East Ham with dogs and guns, for an unlawful purpose." The Chairman, Sir H. PELLY, inquired under what Act the capture had been made, for he never heard of such a charge before. ' The Churchwarden said they were in pursuit of game, which was an offence. Edwards said they could not have shot any if they had seen it, and their only purpose was to shoot gulls. The police constable said he found a gull bagged. The Magistrate, after some conversation, said the police had no right to interfere with the sport so far as taking the men into custody, their power being to ask for their name and address, and proceed against them by information. The Churchwarden expressed his intention to do so. Their guns, which had been detained at the station• house on their being taken into custody, were delivered up to them, and they were discharged. THE EQUINOCTIAL GALES.—The recent equinoc al gales, we regret to hear, have exceeded in violence he deplorable storm in 1739. Such, however, are the reports received at Lloyd's, from the masters of the nu merous merchantmen who were fortunate enough to escape the dreadful fury of the hurricane. They up , pear to have commenced from the S.W. on the 9th ult., and continued with increased force till the morning of the 22d. The effect on the broad expanse of the Atlan t c is described to have been of the most fearful de. scription, the loss both of life and property being exceedingly great. Numerous other casualties at sea have also occurred. MEETING FOR. THE ABOLITION OF THE PUNISH MENT OF DEATH.—A very thronged meeting was held at the Surrey Litettry and Scientific Institution, l'o7ougli road, on Friday evening, for the purpose of adopting such measures as would tend to induce the Legislature to abolish the code which inflicts the punishment of the forfeiture of life as the expiation of certain infractions of the law. The Rev. Mr. Christmas having been called to the chair, the meeting was addressed by Mr. A. Pel att., the Rev. Mr. Burns, and several other gentlemen, and resolutions were pa , s - 11 to the effect, that the meet ing pledged itself to use its most strenuous exertions to promote the speedy and total abolition of the punish ment of death. Tho customary vote of thanks was carried, and the meeting separated.

One pound of this yeast will make eighteen pounds of bread. POLICE INTELLIGENCE GUILDHALL. Mr. Storey, of Fleet-street, was summoned by the Churchwardens of St. D untan's-in-the-West, for non payment of 91. 155., due for church -rates. The case was heard before Mr. Alderman Gibbs are] Mr. Alderman Copeland on last Saturday, when the de cision was in favour of the Churchwardens, but no war rant of distress was then pressed for. This day Mr. Perry appeared for the defendant, and contended that the magistrates had no jurisdiction, inasmuch as the rates due amounted to 15/, and were therefore not re coverable in this court. After a very prolonged discussion the magistrates de cided in this (and in the other following cases), that the complainant had discretion to take out a summons in the first instance for the smaller sum, and to proceed afterwards for the remainder. They would not grant an appeal to the sessions, for which they considered there was no ground. A warrant of distress was accordingly ordered. Several other c lees of the same nature were similarly diposed of. . The hearing of the case of Mr. Witt, the dentist, of Holborn, who was charged with bigamy a few days since, was resumed before Mr. Alderman Wood. Mr. Haddlestone, With Mr. Mohler, attended on behalf of the prosecution ; and Mr. Ballantine, with Mr. Wont ner, for the prisoner. Miss Hill, the second wife, was recalled. She said Witt paid his addresses to her five years before they were married. He said at first he was a widower, but she knew of his wire going to America, and she pressed him to make inquiry there. He said he could do it as well in England, and produced a paper signed by a Mr. Eccles and Mr. Forty, that they had heard and believed that Mrs. Witt had died at New York. Cross examined by Mr. Ballantine—She had another suitor, who fixed a time for marrying her, but dropped her, and a year after that she married Mr. Witt. Mr. Earle was called, but did not answer. After some lengthened discussion between the counsel. Mr. Alderman WooD said he had made up his mind to dismiss the case, because it rested solely on the evi dence of Mr. Earle; and he placed no reliance on his testimony, taking his own account of himself. The manner in which he fenced with some questions that were put to him, and the way in which he availed him self of the protection not to answer certain questimee necessarily led to the inference that he could not ven ture to answer them. It had been said it was for the jury, and not the megistrate to decide on the credibility of witnesses. He had always acted on a contrary prin ciple; for he thought no magistrate should send a man to trial - on eviden•.•e to which he did not himself give credit. The magistrate was bound to exercise his dis cretion, and not commit recklessly on evidence which he did not believe, and which he thought no jury would believe. He therefore discharged Mr. Witt. The par I e retired. CITY POLICE COMMITTEE. POWER ( F THE POLICE OVER TILE PUBLIC.-Mr. B. G. Facia, marquee and tarpauling manufacturer, in West Smithfield, was summoned before Sir James Duke and Mr. A7derman Kelly, for obstructing City police sergeant White, No. 24. The case arose through the sergeant stopping the de fendant with his horse and cart, going into Smithfield to his stables on Monday morning last, during the time the market was held, unless he would state whera he was going to. The defendant contended that the policeman had no right to stop him. He told the sergeant he was going to his stables, and he knew him and where he was going. Alderman KELLY said a satisfactory answer would have avoided all unpleasantness. The defendant still insis'ed that the magistrates heal no right to place officers at the end of.Giltspur-street to stop the traffic. The Corporation had no power to ex ercise such a right. Be had consulted Mr. Pearson, the City solicitor, on the subject, and had bern to the Queen's printer to ascertain if any Act existed that al lowed the Corporation such a power as they laid claim to, without his receiving the slightest information that would warrant them in the step they had taken. The summons was eventually dismissed. BOW-STREET,. Police -constable Charles Branson E 117, was charged with having been drunk and absent from his duties. The defendant pleaded Guilty, urging, in extenuation, of his offence, " that he had been only three months in the force, and was a married man." The inspector of the division deposed to the Fact of the defendant's absence, and stated that he found him drunk in bed, at his own lodgings. His wife had re ported him as sick, and unable to attend to his duties, and the constable told witness that he had au attack of rheumatism, which disabled one of his legs. Mr. HALL inquired as to the defendant's general cha racter, and was informed that the man was considered a tolerably efficient constable. A few days, previously, however, he was found drunk, and the Commissioners of Police fined him ss. ; and it was d ur i ng t h e progress of this investigation that he again got drunk, and dis appeared from his beat, as already stated. It was stated—and his Worship considered it a cir cumstance in the defendant's favour—that, having got drunk, he went home to bed, instead of attempting to resume his duties in a state of intoxication. The inspector feared that the defendant's means would scarcely enable him to pay the previous fine of ss. Mr. HALL lectured him on the folly of persisting in a course that must bring ruin upon himself and family, and fined him 205., committing him for seven days in default of payment. LAMBETH. William Wilmot Byrom, who has assumed innumer able aliases, and who has been in custody for a fortnight on various charges of obtaining money by false represen tations, and inserting advertisements in the daily and weekly papers, was placed at the bar before Mr. Norton for further examination. Mr. Knight, a solicitor, and Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, appeared for the prose cution ; and an attorney's clerk and Mr. Ballantine at tended on behalf of the prisoner. The first witness called was Miss Frances White, of Connaught. terrace, Edgware-road, who deposed on a former examination to having lent the prisoner 201., and his depositing in her hands as security three tea war rants, representing that the tea to which they referred was of the value of 901., and told her that by taking them to Mincing-lane they would be as good as a Bank note. Witness, on his saying this, expressed her sur prise, if such was the case, that h e di d not take them to Mincing-lane himself, and procure th e money he required on them, inste a d of giving so lar ge a premium for what he required. The prisoner's reply was, that if things Acre so done it would be most injurious to trade, and that he would rather pay anything for an amount which he might require on an emergency than take such securi ties into the market himself. The mother of this witness corroborated her testi mony. Mr. William Smith Adam, principal warehouseman to Messrs. Clarke and Rowe, tea-dealers, is Arthur street West, deposed that he had taken samples of the tea to which the warrants produced by Miss White re• ferred, and found it to be perfectly worthless, or at least not worth 2d. a pound. Their flavour was quite noxious and any person knowing anything whatever of the qua lity of tea would not purchase them at any price. Mr. Clarkson—Then they are not of the value of 904? Witness—Certainly not, nor 90d. The tea was origi nally black; but by some means, he thought by an in fusion of copperas, an effort had b een made to make it green. In his cross-examination by Mr. B a ll antine, the wir ness said the tea in question cam e f rom China in its li x , p as ens fo e r o t f he fr (m i per pound. Th e usual course of freight thaanntd disposeimport ingof them short of the d uty ; and this being ing to businesswou l d be n a b t o h u e t done, the seller gave warrants for the d i ff erent parcels, present state, t a ea n ad d .tr t a n d e e t which entitled their holders to clear them upon paying the duty, which was 2s. 2-id. per pound, and the amount also of the warehousing. The duty upon all teas was the same, and there was nothing on the face of the warrants to denote either the quality of the teas to which they related, or of the amount that had been paid for them. In reply to Mr. Clarkson, witness said the duty upon the tea, to which the warrants pro duced referred, remains unpaid, and it, with the ware house fees, would amount to about 2,1. 6d. per pound, while they were not worth Id. a pound. The teas were inn dorted in 1842, so that they bad been four years in the warehouse. The cargo, of which they were a part, was well known in [the trade, and was what was called the "fraudulent lot." Mr. A. B. Richards deposed, that on the 2d of July last he wrote a note in reply to an advertisement, and was waited upon on the following day by the prisoner, who represented himself as a watchmaker and jeweller, and gave his name as Edward Blatchford. Witness ultimately agreed to lend him 301., the advertisement being only for 25L; but on paying him the money he paid him 5/. too much, which made 351.; for this the prisoner gave him his note of hand, and as a collateral security let him have a number of pawnbroker's tickets for property, for which as much as 60/. appeared to be lent. • When the note became due it was taken to be presented for payment; but the house at which it had been made payable was shut up, and had been so for a length of time before, and no such person as Mr. Blatchford was known there. He (witness) subse quently took part of the articles pledged out of pawn, and found that they were not worth the money ad vanced upon them. A tradesman in Camomile -street, Bishopsgate-street, whose name did not transpire, deposed to having been swindled out of a large sum of money by the prisoner and another man. Another person, who represented himself as a builder, stated that he too had been cheated out of a sum of money by a companion of the prisoner, and mentioned, as a proof of the deep schemes and plans resorted to by these fellows, that the advertisement, through the means of which he had been led to Part with his money, appeared in the Builder; so that in lending the money he thought he was assisting a distressed fellow-tradesman instead of a swindler. Mr. NORTON here called over the names of several persons who have been victimized by the prisoner and his associate, and who had since the last examination fiirwarded communications and statements of their dif ferent cases to him (Mr. Norton). Only one or two out of the whole having answered, Mr. Knight observed, that numerous persons were prevented from coming forward from the reluctance of having their names placed before the public in cennexion with such transactions, ri r a dislike to have what they considered to be their silliness exposed. Mr. NORTON replied that he was quite aware of this, and expressed a hope that the publication of the parti culars of this case which had already obtained, would be productive of much good, as it would be the means he hoped, of exposing an ingenious system of fraud, which was being carried on to a very great extent, and place the peke on their guard against such persons for the future. Mrs. Rapront, a lady from whom the prisoner had received one .:um Of money, and his friend Mr. Barnes Mr. Clarkson—But still it is part of the "fraudulent lot." Mr. NORTON observed, that it was his opinion at the last examination, and he was of the same opinion still, that scßao unprincipled pawnbrokers had lent. themselves to the practices of the prisoner and his confederates, by placing on their tickets a larger amount in the way of loaß than the articles pawned were actually worth, and thereby assisted them in can.) ing on their system of imr osition. S veral perscns in the body of the Court said that this was the fact, and one said that on a subsequent examina tion of the prisoner he should bring forward a clear case to establish the fact, and to show beyond dispute that pawnbrokers lent themselves in such cases. Mr. NORTON replied that he would Le most ready. to hear such a charge, and if he found the charge esta blished against the pawnbroker he should have no hesitation in placing him at the bar alongside the prisoner.—Remanded. THAMES. William Lilly, a seaman, was brought before Mr. , Broderip, to answer a charge of running Silbs, of foreign manufactured tobacco from the ship Blanche Adamson, recently arrived from Cadiz. He was de tected coming from the ship with the tobacco in his possession. The prisoner made no attempt to evade the conse quences of the illegal transaction. He plea-led guilty, said it was his first offence, and begged for mercy. Mr. BRODERIP said, the power of mitigation rested with the Commissioners of Customs, and not with him. He then inflicted the penalty of 100/. sued for, and com mitted the prisoner in default of payment. It was understood the fine would be materially reduced on petition to the Board of Customs, as the prisoner was not previously known to the revenue officers. Mary Liddle, aged 17, was brought before Mr. Brode rip yesterday, on a charge of robbing a poor woman, named Maria Anderson. of 14s. and other moneys. The prosecutrix, who r. , sides in Mary-street, Poplar, met with a severe accident on Monday last, and fractured five of her ribs. She was taken home in an almost in sensible condition, and bled by a surgeon. While she was reclining in a chair, faint from the loss of blood and the injuries she had received, she felt the prisoner's hand in her pocket, and accused her of taking her money. The girl, who was that day employed in the house, said she was a liar, and left the room. The poor woman directly afterwards missed her cash. On the next dap. the prisoner was expending a good deal of silver, and treating various persons with liquor. She was committed for trial. MA R YL EB ONE. PIGEON PANClERS.—Jeremiah Callaghan, a lad about fourteen years of age, was placed at the bar, charged with being concerned, with a boy named -M'Grath, in stealing two pigeons, the property of James Courtney, Esq , of Finchlcy road, St. John's-wood. It appeared that the prisoner Callaghan, together with M'Grath, had been taken into custody on Wednesday last by Grant, 63 S, and brought to this Court, but no owner for the pigeons being then, discovered they were set at liberty. The owner being subsequently disco vered, Callaghan was again captured. Grant, 63 S, stated that between the hours of three and four o'clock on Wednesday last, he took the prisoner and M'Grath into custody, and found a pigeon in the breast of each of their coats, and upon his asking them to whom they belonged, they stated that they were their own. and if he would take them before the " beak," they would satisfy him that they were so. The constable stated that although the prisoner was young in years he was well known to the police for his thieving propensities. Mr. Courtney identified the pigeons as belonging to him. The prisoner was remanded for a few days to afford time for the re-taking of APO rath. --- HA ER SMITH. ASSAULT BY A Stn'QEoN.—On Saturday Mr. Arthur Hill Hassell, a medical practitioner, residing in the Queen's-road, Notting-hill, appeared before Mr. Poynter, the sitting magistrate, to answer a summons for having assaulted Mary Anne Tustin. Mary Anne Tustin, a decent-looking female, deposed 'hat she owed the defendant a bill for 11. Is., for attend ing her child (since de :eased), for which he had sent her a lawyer's letter. On the 7th instant she went to him, and told him she thought it was very sharp practice ; that she thought that he was not treating her properly ; and that he had not acted properly to her child while he attended it. Defend:lnt denied hating murdered her child, as she said, and made use of some very vulgar language towards her in reference to the letter. Upon that lie put on his hat, and seizing hold of her by the arms, he forced her out of the surgery, and threw her violently into the street, by which her knee was cut. This was the assault ccmplained of. George Moore corroborated in some particulars the evidence of the complainant. The defendant, in answer to the charge, said he pro f'ssionally attended the complainant's child. After its decease he sent in his bill. The complainant accused him of having murdered her child, and he sent her a lawyer's letter. On the receipt she came to him, and abused him in his surgery. He ordered her out, bat she continued her abuse, threatening him that his name should appear in all the newspapers. lie then put her out of the house, using no more violenc,, than was ne cessary, but in so doing she tripped her feet over the.sill of the door. Edward Miller, defendant's assistant, deposed that he was in the surgery, and heard an altercation between the defendant and complainant, and thinking it was a pri vate matter, he went out into the adjoining room. He heard her accuse Mr. Hassel with murdering her ch9d, and also heard him turning her out. Mr. PAYNTER said he could not see what the com plainant wanted in going to the defendant's house, if it was not to insult him, as she did not go t o pay him. She had, however, gone there, and insulted the defendant, by charging him with a cri minal offence ; yet that did not justify the improper re mark which the defendant had made to the complainant, and which, as a medical man, he must ever l ament h av i ng used, but it justifi e d th e defendant in turning her out of his house, provided that he did not use more violence than was necessary. According, however, to the evi dence of Moore, the defendant had used more and un necessary violence, for which he must fine the defendan' 40s. and costs. Defendant immediately paid the amount 4.)REMORNE GARDENS. Active preparations are already in progress.for the opening, next season, of this popular place of public amusement, in a style cf splen - dour hitherto unequaled in this country. The principal feature will be a monstre saloon, capable of allowing air( e or four thousand " votaries of Terpsichore" to " trip it on the light fantastic toe" at one time, without interfering with the promen a d e o f t h e spectators. LORD ROSH'S TELESCOPE.—The statement which has recently gone the round of the London press, an nouncing the contemplated destruction of this mag nificent instrument by a fanatic, is founded upon an apparent error of the correspondent of the Belfast Chronicle. Lard Rosse's telescope is erected at Parsonstown, in the King's County, at a dis tance of more than one hundred Irish miles from Armagh. Whilst we rejoice in the inference that it has escaped the rude hands of an ignorant ruffian, we are at the same time thrown on an albernative hardly less painful, that if any instrument has suffered it is the telescope of Dr. Robinson, of Armagh, who, it will be remembered, gave some valuable scientific evidence before a Committee of the House of Commons on the relative merits of the sewral kinds of railway haulage. ADVENTURE, OF A CAT.—In April last a vessel visited Garliestown Harbour, the captain of which had a favourite cat, kittened somewhere on the shores of America, that hunted at will over the ship, and amply repaid board and lodging by the destruc tion of rats as well as mice, Tired, however, of the sea, and its perils, puss gave bee old friends the slip, by landing askedor unnoticed, tic( d ' n attached to the principal vill age i nn . H ere, however, her head-quarters leave garden she was a welcome guest to all, save the small birds that hop among the twigs of trees in summer, entered the house occasionally, and was fed regularly for a period of nearly five months. But some farmer friend having seen and taken a fancy to the stranger, she was dispatched far inland, packed in a basket to diminish the probabilities, if not possibilities, of ever finding her way back again. But puss, although born in a slave country, repudiated the idea of becoming a thrall at pleasure ; the home assigned might be all very well in its own way, but its novelties she liked not ; the moors were too near, the hills high, and the colley dogs especially pert and uncivil. Again, therefore, she became a tramp, and at the end of ten days re-appeared at her former domicile, guided by some curious instinct, which is as useful to the Mine species as the compass to the mariner. If the old folks looked surprised, the young ones were de lighted, while all admired the sleekness and plumpness of the far-travelled mouser. After a little time notes were compared, from which it appeared that the cat had been eight days on the road, shifting as she best could, and, in a district where muircocks and plovers are rife, observing carefully the old maxim, "As we journey through life, let us live by the way."—Ditinfries Courier. FOREIGN CATTLE.—A sailing -vessel is arrived in the London Docks from Hamby,. _urg, witb, in dn lo a cargo of spelter, 40 head of horned leadcat. This ar rival presents two distinct features of novelty, it being the first importation into the port of London of live cattle in a soiling-packet from this distant Hanseatic port, and the first time al.o, we believe, that a vessel has entered any of the dock establishments having a con signment of live horned stock on b ard. PERILOUS CONDITION OF A BOAT'S CIIRW.--Orl Monday afternoon, during the z ;ale, while a pilot- boat from Newhaven was running to the northward of Inehkeith, it was capsized by a sudden squall. The crew, which con sisted of two men and a boy, were thus placed in the most imminent peril. Most fortunately, all of them managed to get on the keel of the boat, where they remained for two hours before they were observed from Inchkeith. Two boats put off from the island ; one of them, owing to the strength of the gale, ran to leeward of the sufferers. The crew of the other were more fortunate, and succeeded in saving their lives. Previous to this the unhappy men had shaken hands and bidden farewell to each other ; and th e b oy was in a very distressed an d exhausted state,—Edinb urg h Post. another sum, upon their note of hand, and depositing with her some tea warrants, was examined, and produced both the bills and the warrans. Sergeant Merrit, one of the officers engaged in the case, said he had procured samples of the tea, and had them tested by Messrs Thompson, tea-brokers, and they pronounced them to be worth no more than 3d. per lb. Mr. Adam here examined the samples produced by the officer, and observed that it was a little better than that which he had tested. Mr. Ballantine—l suppose it has less copperas in it than the other ?—(Laughter.) Witness—l suppose so ; at all events, it is a penny a pound better than the other. MARKET NEWS -(SATURDAY.) COVENT.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY.—The news received by the Cambria having given an impulse to the speculative rise on cotton, the prevailing impression is that spinners will require to fall back upon short time as their only safe course. It is certainly a stern mode of bringing things round, and will press with great severity on the labour.. ing classes, coupled, as it must be, with dear food. Very little business has been doing for the last few days. We cannot say that there is any change in the prices of either cloth or yarn. LEICESTER.—Track is much in the sime condition as we last reported. On the whole, it is rather dull for the season. The country houses experience more demand than those engaged in the L•nidon trade. The failure of the potato crop, and the cons-vent advance in pro visions, tends rather to check the demand. There is ne change in wools or yarns ; the mills are working' full time, and the machinery is all employed.—LeteeAter Chronicle. LEEDS, OCT. 13.—Both to-day and on Saturday, the sane dull state of the markets has ruled at both our cloth-halls, as has been the case of late. The foreign houses are doing very little in the way of purchases, and the houses which are in the home trade continue to pur chase only from hand to mouth ; prices are without any alteration. Business has also been dull in the wart hon2es, but if the weather should be cold during the month,sthe general impression is, that the trade for winter goods will be pretty brisk for a time. BRADFORD, THURSDAY.—WOOI—The last has been an extremely dull week for the sale of combing wools, and the market is well supplied with all kinds; but owing to the high rates still sought in the country, the prices here are well maintained. Noils and brokes are rather flatter, and a shade lower prices submitted to. Yarns—The business doing to-day is very similar to several weeks past; and the spinners fear the approach of winter, with the present low prices for yarns. Pieces —The piece trade to-day has been rather quiet, but as the accounts from the fair at Leipzic are pretty satisfac tory, it is hoped we shall see ere long more animated doings. This being between the seasons, the manufac turers of fancy goods are generally flat, as plain Orleans and Paramattas are most iuquired for, and prices remain steady.—Bradford -Observer. HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The wrought cotton hose branch, especially the finer and best qualities, are yet very dull, and many of the hands in the villages are suffering for want of employment. Whilst this is the case in Britain, in France and Spain, fine cotton hose above thirty- e i g ht gauge arc i n great demand, and fetch high prices. The cotton cut up hose branch, which has been bad for several weeks past, has rather suddenly mended, and frames that have stood for four or five weeks are now fully employed. The drawer and pan taloon branch has not amended, and there is little or no employment in the silk glove trade; still the quantity made is large. The bobbin net lace trade, though in some quarters a shade better, is yet dull. The making of a better description of nets from the Lever's machines is very slowly extending. The warp lace trade is upon the whole much be tter, and the frames are gradually getting to work. The silk warp lace trade, though con. tending with difficulties on all sides, is a shade better.— Nottingham Journal. UREATER AND LESSER.

This Baptist brother had been the means of parating a slave husband and wife for ever. He had been importuned not to do it —to sell them both to one master, and not wring their hearts with the agony of septa. ttion ; but he said he " would see them both in hell first ! He was brought up before the church, and:tried, for w h at, t hi nk ye? For the inhumanity of sundering man and wife ? No ; but for using profane language ! Hi s sp i r i tual advisers and co-workers took joined no thought o f t h e cr i me of parting what God hade together, but th e y were very much horriLEmdatantchi. the profane express i on used by their brother . . pater.
