EDWARD COLLINS, Birmingham. Mr. Lewis Davis, shortly after four o'clock, took the chair. Some discussion then took place as to the propriety and validity of the meeting, the Company having amal gamated with other railway companies, which ended in its being decided that th e meeting was a proper one . The usual advertisements calling the meeting having been read, the requirements of the Act having been gone through, and Mr. Powell, Mr. Nathan, and Mr. Blurton, having been appointed scrutineers, Mr. HODGSON moved, and Mr. NATHAN seconded, a resolution to the effect that the Company should be dissolved; and Mr. BASTING. moved, and Mr. Powmseconded, that " That dissolution should bo considered as an act of bankrup4cy." Upon these motions the scrutineers then pro ceeded to take the votes, and after the lapse of some considerable time they announced the numbers to be—for the dissolution 2,280 ; against it none. There were 400 in favour of the dissolution being considered an act of bankruptcy, and 1,880 against it. The CHAIRMAN then declared that there was not a sufficient number of votes present to constitute a meeting that eould adopt a resolution for the dissolu tion of the Company, and the meeting was therefore adjourned to Thursday next, at three o'clock. The meeting did not break up till after five o'clock. The following protest was put in against the meet ing = To the Chairman of the meeting of the Warwick and Worcester Railway. " We, the under-mentioned shareholders, do hereby protest against the regularity of the meeting called of the above-named company, to be held at the Hall of Commerce, London, on the 4th day of September, 1846, on the ground that the notices in the Gazette were contrary to the provisions of the Act of Parlia ment, the Warwick and Worcester Railway Company having amalgamated with other companies. " Dated the 4th day of September, 1846. " J. N. WHITCOMB. " W. J. LAWSON." JAMAICA SOUTH MIDLAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) A special general meeting of the shareholders in this Company was held this day at the Company's offices, 17, Essex-street, Strand, for the purpose of receiving the report of the directors, and the engineer's report. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, the Secretary read the report, which stated that there had been a considerable increase in the number of sig natures to the deed, which now amounted to 10,215, more than half of the total required:; that the Company had obtained their Bill from the Assembly at Jamaica, which had received the royal assent, and therefore that the Company was at present legally constituted. In compliance with the resolution of the meeting of the 9th of March last, the directors had entered into a treaty with the Jamaica Company to construct seven miles of reilway from Spanish Town to Cherry Town, and their negotiations had been successful. With the addition of these seven miles, the lino was now forty five miles in length, and the total estimated cost of the undertaking was 335,6951., to which there had been added, engineering contingencies 10 per cent. In the report made at the meeting of the 9th of March a table of the probable traffic on the line had been submitted to the shareholders then present, and it appeared that the estimate was not so favourable as it subse quently turned out. It appeared that the line might be worked at an expense of 20,0001. annually. In consequence of the depressed state of the market, the directors thought it would be better not to proceed further at present with the works than to make that nominal commencement which was required by the Act of Assembly. The balance in hands was 16,1161. 19s. Ild., which was placed at interest. This sum would be reduced to about 15,000/. The directors were ready to give the shareholders who desired to retire from the undertaking 12s. 6d. per share, as they were satisfied of the responsibility of the parties who were ready to take up those shares. In conclusion, the report stated that great cordially existed between the proprietors of the Jamaica and the directors of the present Company, and that several of the former were very anxious to get. shares in the South Midland Company. The SECRETARY then read the report of the engineer of the Company, Mr. Miller, which was very favourable. The CHAIRMAN then proposed two resolutions, to the effect that the report should be adopted, and that the directors should be authorised to prepare the supple mental Bill to be presented to the Assembly atgamaica. These resolutions were seconded and carried unani mously. Thtinks were then voted to and acknowledged by the Chairman, and the meeting separated. SALES OF RAILWAY SHARES BY AUCTION.—(THIS DAY.)

A preliminary meeting of the friends of T. Wakley, Esq., M.P., was held in the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, to take into consideration the best means of for warding the penny subscription now in progress for pur chasing a piece of silver plate to be presented to that gentleman as a testimonial of his worth, and the high respect in which he is held for his zeal, impartiality, and firmness in the office of Coroner. The me , ..ting was very respectably attended. Mr. Sandford, of Lincoln's Inn, was. called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN briefly explained the purposes which had called them together. He thought that the services of Mr. Wakley imperatively called upon them to exhibit, by some reward like the one contemplated, their appre ciation of his great abilities, and the admirable manner in which he had performed the duties of Coroner. Cer tain resolutions would, therefore, be submitted to the meeting, and he would at 'once save the time of the gentlemen present by calling upon Mr. Sullivan to pro pose the first resolution. Mr. SULLIVAN, in moving drat this meeting duly ap preciate the indefatigable industry and unflinching pro bity of Thomas Wakley, Esq., in the performance of his duty as Coroner, and considers that he is well en titled to the gratitude of the country," eulogised in the warmest manner the conduct of Mr. Wakley, more particularly in the recent pro ceedings at Hounslow. lie hoped that the recent changein the amount of punish ment would be followed by the total abolition of " the cat," and when this devoutly-to-be-wished-for consum mation should have been accomplished, the friends of humanity would have to thank: Mr. Wakley for it. Mr. A. RAMSAY seconded, t nd Dr. WEBB, of Mary- Lbone, supported it. Mr. W. HINDE, formerly in the 7th Hussars, the same regiment to which the unfort =tate man belonged, then rose, and in a very earnes;tt and energetic manner defended Colonel Whyte from the charges of inhumanity which had been urged again sue him. He well remem bered seeing on one occasion .an old soldier tied to the ladder, when Captain Whyte r u.shed out, and said to the commanding officer, Colonel King, "For God's sake, Colonel King, do not punish that old soldier. I shall be answerable for his good condu at in time coming." The man was unbound and pardoned. He also called to mind a circumstance that oc curred in Canada, where, when they were in daily expe ciation of being engaged with the enemy, a man was found in the act of deserting. He was sentenced to recive one, hundred and fifty lashes, but was pardoned by Colonel. Whyte after he had re ceived fifty lashes, on his prom Ase of future good conduct. He might multiply many such cases, but he did not de sire to take up too much time. He had served under five colonels, and in no instance 12 1d he served under a more humane unfeeling officer; and this opinion he was certain would be corroborated by every soldier in the regiment. He fully appreciated the services of Mr. Wakley, as did many of his former companions. and he had no doubt that a considerable portion of the subscriptions would come out of the army. Dr. EPPS suggested that it would perhaps be better to confine their approbation of Mr. Wakley's conduct to his recent services at Hounslow. Many persons had expressed their disapprobation of the witticisms with which the Coroner for Middlesex occasionally sought to relieve the tedium of business, and he (Dr. Epps) did consider that this levity was beneath the dignity of a judge. On these grounds he thought it better that the resolution should be confined to their approbation of Mr. Wakley, the case he alluded to, and he was sure that that would secure general approbation. Mr. WHITE moved the following resolution:—" That the friends of Thomas Wakley, Esq., in consideration of his independent conduct as Coroner, Pmore particularly upon the occasion of the late inquest at Hounslow, have resolved upon offering him some slight testimonial of the high opinion they have formed of him as a public officer." Mr. CHURCH, in an eloquent speech, seconded the resolution. Mr. WHITE also moved the third resolution, " That a committee be formed to raise a sufficient sum of money to purchase a handsome piece of silver plate to be pre sented to that gentleman." The committee was then appointed ; and after thanks had been voted to the Chairman, the meeting broke up. THE LONDON GAZETTE (THIS EVENING.) WHITEHALL, SEPT. 2, 1846.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of September 4.) SUGAR.—To-day there was more desire evinced to pur chase Colonial Sugar of all kinds, and merchants madifested more firmness. For West India Muscavado Sugar of all t orts former rates were insisted upon, and a fair business was transacted, the quantity sold amonnting to 480 hhds and trcs, including the public sale of 99 e hhds of Barbadoes, which went at former rates. Rar•rxay.—To• day Refined goods were purchased with caution by the home trade, although Brown Lumps were to be obtained at 60s to 61s 6d, according to quality, and Standard Lumps at 62s to 62s 6d per cwt. Crushed Sugar is held for former rates, but there is not so much demand. This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius offered at public sale was large, and amounted to 6,025 bags, still there was a brisker demand, and nearly the whole sold at and after the sale at the former value. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was more in demand, and 629 bags at public sale all sold at fully pre vious rates, 'and in some cases rather above. Fine white Benares brought 53s to 55s 6d. damp and washed 52s to 555, good strong sound yellow 495, and damp 48s. per cwt. FOREIGN.—This afternoon, at public sale, 694 baskets and 2,582 bags of Java were offered; the white was nearly all withdrawn, and other sorts sold about is per cwt under the general valuations. COFFEE.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee met with little at tention privately; 210 bags, at public sale, of Plantation, were however sold at the full value. TEA.—Notwithstanding the large consumption there is going on, and the low rates that are current. still the trade generally are not inclined to take more than there immediate wants require. Congou of low and middling quality is id to Id, the better kinds Id to 3d, Twankay Id to 2d, Hyson 2d to 4d, Imperial and Gunpowder 6d to 10d lower than at that time in 1845. There has been a good business transacted in the inferior sorts of Congou, but not at better prices, common only bringing 8d to 9d, good cnmmon 9id to 10d, but middling coarse 106 d to Ild. The better kinds have been sparingly dealt in. In Pouchong little business has been transacted, althongh low and good quality can be obtained at 3d to 9d. Of Dyson several parcels have been sold, but at moderate rates. Of Imperial and Gunpowder several parcels have been sold, but at further reduced rates. For Twankay the market has a dull appearance. SPICES.—To-day the market was abundantly supplied with Cassia Lignea, 3,212 chests being offered at public sale, but the trade were eager buyers, and the whole sold at an ad vance on the rates of the last auctions of is to 2s per cwt. Jamaica Ginger sold at 21 6s to 71 12s, and low 37s to 41s per cwt. ; Nutmegs taken in at 3s 3d for holed limed Dutch, and in the shell at is 6d; of Malabar Pepper 2,040 bags all sold at the full value. SPlRlTS.—Although there are sellers of Jamaica Rum upon rather lower terms, still little business has been transacted. The value of Leeward Island is is 5d to 2s 6d proof with cer tificate, but the demand has been limited. Calcutta is little wanted, but is lld to 2s proof strength are the rates insisted upon. Demerara has been sparingly dealt in ; still holders ask 3s 2d to 3s 5d for strong sorts. Brandy has been in excellent request, and the vintages of 1844 and 1845 have brought higher rates, whilst all other kinds fully sustained the former value. Geneva is wanted for export, common at 2s 3d to 2s 4d, and fine by the home trade at 2s 8d to 3s. RICK.—To-day there was more desire evinced to operate in Bengal Rice, and 1,314 bags at public sale all sold at full rates. Of Tapioca 339 barrels and 5 bags were offered at public sale, but a part only sold, Bahia at 1 3 / 4 d to 2 3 %d, and better quality 3d to 4d per lb. COCHINEAL.—There has been a much better demand for silvers, and an advance on the ♦alue of Id per lb has taken place : 550 bags of Honduras at auction all finding buyers at 4s 10d to 5s 10c1 per lb for low to fine quality. Privately some parcels of blacks were disposed of and at stiffer rates. OlLS.—This afternoon at public sale 5 pipes, 285 hhds, of Ceylon Cocoa Nut sold at 33s 9cl to 35s 9d, which is higher. TALLow.—This afternoon at public sale 203 casks Tagan rog sheep? Tallow sold at 40s 6d to 42s 6d ; 52 casks Aus tralian 39s to 425; 22 hhds of Cape 43s to 445; 131 casks of North American melted 39s to 42s 9d; 216 casks Ibrail 38s to 41s 9d. lIAVANNAH CIGARS.--A letter from the Havannah informs us that the cultivation of tobacco is increasing immensely in Cuba, in consequence of the great demand for Havannah cigars, whilst in many districts of the island the cultivation of coffee is on the decrease. The system of traffic in tobacco is very loose and unsatisfac tory, the commodity is chiefly brought to the city on horses, and there offered for sale on the so-called " cal zada," in eating-houses and inns. The business is in the hands of certain speculators, who purchase the goods of the country people by anticipation, and the sale is then effected by small cigar manufacturers and brokers, to treat with whom the utmost caution is required. A rumour was recently afloat that the Governor wished to remedy the evil, and to erect a store magazine for the deposit of all tobacco destined for sale, arranged and classified by sworn brokers, but hitherto (•July 10) nothing has been done. The crop of this year is most prolific, but there is a prejtidice against the quality in certain cases, as the buildings for drying, sorting, and packing the tobacco were too small in proportion to the quantity, and the tobacco was brought to market in an immature state. Still, the demand continues to exceed the supply by a great deal. The preparation of cigars occupies a great portion of the population; with the in creasing consumption, the exportation to all parts of the world continually augments ; in proof of which we shall merely observe, that the French regle has found itself compelled to conclude a new contract for 40,000 boxes of cigars a year, whilst the preceding one for 80,000 remains still in force. TRAVELLING FROM FRANCE TO ENGLAND.—The service by the Northern Railroad, which will be opened from the Ist of September, renders the intercourse be tween France, England, Belgium, Germany, and Swit zerland, greatly more easy and rapid. By the train which leaves Paris at half-past eight in the morning, travellers will arrive the same evening at Boulogne and Calais, and by that which leaves Paris at seven o'clock in the evening, will reach Boulogne and Calais at twelve the next day, and may be in London by the dinner hour. The same train which leaves Paris at seven in the even ing, arrives at Mons the next morning at twenty minutes , past seven ; at Ghent, at eight ; at Brussels, nine ; at Antwerp, eleven; at Ostend, at a quarter. past eleven; at L iege, at one in the afternoon; and at Cologne, by the Rhenish Railroad, at seven in the evening. Hence Strasburgsteam steam-boats, o a t t s e , thethe way Ger n a t h o S r w a i i l t r z e e a r d l a s d andisfrom Basle. The following not very probable shooting adven bythtahte Tibi ae ture is given by the Journal de la Meuse:—T wo days ago M. l3achet, of Consenvoge, was out with a party, hen he saw his dog running a hare hard, and behind the dog a ferocious wolf, following with evidently sinister intentions. Preserving his coolness, he fired his double barrelled gun, and first killed the hare, and next the wolf, by a shot from the other barrel. The dog appeared completely astounded al being thus at once deprived of his prey, and delivered from a formidable enemy." ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. —The monthly meeting of this club last evening was but very thinly attended, there being scarcely twenty members present. Captain Wheeler having been called to the chair, the minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. The whole of the business of the evening consisted of ballotting for the Hon. C. G. Lambert, of Fawley, Hants (who was duly elected), fixing the time of the closing trip, and proposing gentlemen for ballot at the next monthly meeting. It was arranged that the closing trip should take place on Saturday, the 19th instant, to start at three o'clock in the afternoon from Greenwich, and cast anchor for the night at Erith. Amongst those pro posed for ballot at the next monthly meeting was Viscount Exmouth. DEER STALKING. ABHORRENCE OF THE DEER TO SHEEP. The detestation of the deer to sheep is so great that they will not inhabit the same ground with these animals. A remarkable instance of this antipathy was observed in the end of the last century by an old drover familiarly called "An drobhair Un," - when crossing one of the great moors of Sutherland, soon after the first "head of sheep" had been turned into Lord Ray's forest. The narrator was surprised by the appearance of a large column of near a thousand deer, marching out of the country in a steady determined emigration. Disgusted by the invasion of the sheep and their dogs, they had col lected from all parts, and unable to find " clean ground,' continued their course out of the country, dispersing into the most solitary glens From these they never re turned, and harassed and killed by the shepherds and farmers, their numbers became reduced to the few and scattered fugitives which lingered in a state of outlawry in remote coires, until the " commercial spirit" of Eng land spread to the Highland bills, and it was discovered that harts and hinds could be converted into marketable stock like other cattle. Hence deer are now " grown" for Saxon guns, as wool for Manchester looms, or beef for Smithfield shambles. The abhorrence of the deer to sheep did not result merely from the disturbance of their dogs. It is true that, like the corollary of St. Columbus concerning cows and women, " Where there are sheep there must be dogs, and where there are dogs there must be mischief." But the chief cause for which the deer shim the society of their woollen enemies is the closeness of their feeding and the foulness of their fleece. The deer is very delicate in his food, and exceedingly fastidious as to the purity of his pasture. Independent therefore of the abridgement of his provision by the excoriating teeth of the tree and herb-exterminating " gallgeall," he cannot endure the oily rancour of their wool, which poisons the fresh heather and sweet green shealing. Wanting these nuisances, he exhibits no an tipathy to the intercourse of black cattle, his old abo riginal brethren of the hill, whose clean coat and mo derate feeding spare the grass and leave no taint of tar and oil in the pasture. Hence the deer and the stirks may be seen herding in the same coire and re posing on the same turf. Sheep in any considerable ' number are an introduction into the Highlands since the latter end of the last century, in which it was dis covered that mutton was not only a safer, but a more profitable stock than man. It is yet well remembered in Argyllshire, that the first Cheviot flock brought into that country was introduced by Mr. Campbell, of Combie, upon the farm of Balantyre, near Invarary, in the year 1771. The earliest similar colonisation in Inverness-shire was in Morven, about the year 1777. The shepherd of these flocks—of whom the first was a certain John Todd from the neighbourhood of Dum barton ; the second, a Braidfoot from the border, intro duced the first " maud," or " shepherd's plaid," worn in Argyll or Inverness. Similar flocks and their feeders disseminated the expulsion of the deer, and the intro duction of the base " hodden-grey," which has since usurped the place of the tartans of the clans ; and at its first appearance, from the calamities by which it was accompanied, and its degraded supplantation of the national dress, was truly and significantly named, "Bratgalla," "The foreigner's rag," and " an riochd-mallaichte," " The accursed grey." This hue was to the Highlanders what black is to their neighbours ; and so destable for its wan and ghastly appearance, that its asso ciation afforded the popular appellation for ghosts and devils ; hence an apparition—a phantom—" an Riochd." The grey, or wan—the spectre foreboding death— ' " am bodach glass," the grey earl ; another of an evil genius, in the shape of a goat—" an Glastig," or " Glasdidh"*—" the Grey," or wan ; and, as in the south, the great enemy is named familiarly " The Black Gentleman," so, in the Highlands, he is called " Mac an Riochd," the son of the grey. In the ideas of the old wives and children of the last century, all those per sonifications, except one, were as nearly as possible those of the modern " dubh gall," deer-stalkers, in their chequered " hodden grey," wanting only the " Jim Crow," " ruffian," or " crush hat"—enormities which had not then completed the masquerade of death and Satan. It is easy to trace the origin of this association. The ancient Caledonian hell, like that of Scandinavia, was a frozen and glassy region, an island named " Ifruinn," far away among the " wan waters" of the northern ocean, and involved in the everlasting ice, and snow, and fog. In this association, the appearace of the evil spirits, its inhabitants, like that of mortals in similar cir cumstances, was believed to be dim, wan, and cloudy shades, such as men become when seen through a frosty mist. Thus, a party of modern deer-stalkers, noble, weil appointed, and gallant though they be, in despite of the gold Geneva watch chains, and costly Purdie rifles, which peep from beneath their shepherd plaids, would re present to an old `.` Sealgair-nam-beann" the liveliest vision of the fiend and his familiars; and we have no doubt that, if " Alasdair Mac-Dhonacha-raidh," or even " Eoin-dubhdrinachin," had ever met, in the grey of the morning, either Lord 0., Sir 11. G., or " The Ruffians of Aberarder," he would have fled the hill for that time, and never have returned to it again, between sun setting and sun rising.—[* It has pleased a writer of the " Cockney school" of Highlanders to convert this word into " Glastig," which we take leave to observe is unknown in the Highlands, and did not exist before the year 1841.]—Caledonian Mercury. THE MEXICAN SOLDIERY. The Mexican soldier is of the middle stature, or below it, small-boned, slightly built, graceful, with a smooth, soft, glossy skin, scarcely any muscle, no visible sinews, and of extremely light weight. He can be agile for a short time, but is constitutionally indolent. This is the Mexican Indian from the interior. The soldiers of mixed blood, partaking of the more northern races, and of old Spain, are stronger, rather sinewy, and capable of more continued exertion. These, however, comprise only a minority of the soldiers of the Mexican army. The Mexicans are capable of no great physical eff or t s or endurance. Their constitutions are without stamina ; and from their habit of getting into the shade whenever they can during the day, taking a 'sap at noon, or lying about under walls or in shady places, flat upon the ground, to play at cards for reales or medios (and dollars, if they have any), they are so enervated that the climate, during the sickly season, is very apt to affect numbers of them, if much expossd during the fiercest hours of the day ; to which, in fact, they have never been accustomed. They very often take the yellow fever, and even die of the vomito negro (particularly at Vera Cruz, Tampico, and Alverado), as well as the temeritous foreigners. They even fear it beforehand. A Mexican soldier who has been drunk over night with aquadiente, and has a sick headach next morning, will ask permission of his sergeant to' leave the ranks during parade or guard duty, as be is very unwell, and will go and squat down under a wall or shed. If you ask him what is the matter, he shakes his head with a melancholy, much injured, but resigned air, and answers, " Calentura, senor—calentura." I will answer for it that any moderately strong English grena dier—not a regular boxer, but who can only " hit straight"—would knock down ten or a dozen Mexican soldiers, equally unarmed, one after another, as fast as they presented themselves. Put a sword into their hands, and give a stout Highlander a claymore, or a raw boned Irishman a good shillelah, and the ten soldiers would be very likely to tumble to the right and left with broken blades and heads. The Mexicans are by no means deficient in courage. They have fiery spirits and no fear of cold steel. They are "always ready to die." I have even heard them in hours of danger use that very ex pression. What they want is physical force; the power to justify their feelings. The Mexican officers are for the most part not good. They are valiant but have no judgment. They are far too exciteable, and without self-government. Moreover they are much too young ; many of their lieutenants, and even captains, being mere boys. I was once acquainted in Vera Cruz twith a Mexican colonel of artillery who was not wo-and -twenty. He was a very well-informed, high spirited,toian and a amiable good young man, ; but, of a g oodcoumrasethwemith a- out any adequate experience for such a post. The Mexican cavalry is admirable—in respect of horseman ship. The artillery is good in all respects. In the re cent battles (as well as in former wars) they seldom failed to throw their balls and shells directly into the works of the fortress attacked ; and before General Vegal's little fort was taken, his guns had destroyed one-third of the assailants ; but when the strong-armed men got close in amongst the Mexican ranks it was all over in a minute.—American paper. PORTUGUESE ONIONS.—A vessel arrived at one of he wharfs adjoining the Custom-house from Oporto has brought a cargo consisting entirely of onions, com prising, consigned to different houses, the large number of 800 boxes of this description of vegetable, the pro duction of Portugal. We have lately alluded to the ex tensive importation of onions which have taken place from the quarter under notice, but no instance of an entire cargo, or so large an arrival at one time, has come under our observation. Whether they be imported to so great extent for pickling purposes, which is so general at this season of the year, or otherwise, they evidently form an important and interesting feature in the list of foreign supplies to our markets, and the present im portation, on account of the large quantity, is entitled to particular notice. EARLY CLOSING OF PAWNBROKERS' SHOPS.— Yesterday, the Act to regulate the hours of business in pawnbrokers' shops, w hich was passed on Friday, was printed. It will take effect in the course of the present month. The following is the enacting clause:—" That, from and after the 29th September next after the pass - , ing of this Act, no pawnbroker shall receive or take in, or permit or suffer to be received or taken in, any goods or chattels by way of pawn, pledge, or in exchange, be fore eight of the clock in the forenoon, or after seven of the clock in the evening, between the 29th September and the 25th March following, or before seven of the clock in the f o r enoon or a f ter eight of the clock in the evening during the remainder of the year, excepting only until eleven of the clock on the evening of Saturday throughout the year, and the evenings next pre cedin g Good Friday and Chri s t mas - d a y, and on every fast or thanksgiving day appoi n t e d by her Majesty; and in case any pawnbroker offeud against the provisions of this Aet, every such pawnbroker shall, for every such offence, on conviction thereof upon the oath of any one or more cre dible witness or witnesses, before any one or more of her Majesty's justic es o f t h e pea ce having jurisdiction over the place wher e suc h o ff enc e shall have been or shall be committed, f or f e i t an d pay not less than 20 5., nor exceeding 51., as suc h j ust i ce or justices shall .ad judge; and every s uc h penalty s h a ll and may be levied, together with all th e costs a ttending the information, summons, and conviction, by distress and sale of goods and chattels of the offender or offenders, or person or persons liable to pay the same respectively, by warrant under the hand and seal of any justice or justices before whom such offender or offenders, person or persons shall or may be convicted; and every such penalty shall be applied and disposed of in like manner as forfeitures in curred for any offence against the last recited Act" (the 39 & 40 Gee. 3, c. 99). ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Sept. 2 GERARD, BART. V. CROSSFIELD AND OTHERS. This was another action by Sir John Gerard agains, the defendants, who are alkali manufacturers, near St. Helens, to recover compensation for the injury sustained by the plaintiff's estate in consequence of the vapours arising in the course of the manufacture. The case was similar to that tried yesterday, of " Gerard v. Muspratt," and the evidence almost precisely the same. A verdict was finally returned for the plaintiff—Damages, 4001. The amount of damage which, on the plaintiff's case, it was calculated . the woods had sustained from the de fendants' works was upwards of 3,0001. Mr. Martin, Mr. Crompton, and Mr. Cowling, for the plaintiff; Mr. Baines, Mr. Brandt, and Mr. Atherton, for the defendants. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Thomas James, a letter-carrier, was charged with stealing half a sovereign from a post-office letter. The letter in question had been posted at the Bishops gate-street receiving-house by a clerk of the London Docks, and a constable at the General Post-office de tected the prisoner in the act of destroying it, and found half a sovereign in his waistcoat pocket. The prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the letter, was remanded. Mr. HENRY expressed his surprise that the public did not now prefer the safer method of transmitting money by post-office orders; upon which Mr. Peacock (the Post-office solicitor) observed that, by a recent regulation, post-office orders may be had at nearly every receiving -house in London. WORSHIP-STREET. Joseph Dodge, a young man of rather smart appear ance, recently employed as assistant-secretary to a loan society at Kingsland, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with creating a disturbance, and using violent and threatening language at the house of Mr. Charles Durham, a gentleman residing in Pleasant place, Hackney. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor, who gave his evidence with visible emotion, that in the early part of the present year an unfortunate intimacy had been clandestinely commenced between the prisoner, who was a married man, and the witness'edaughter, a young lady, only eighteen years of age, which resulted in her elope ment from home in June last. After a few weeks she was left in a boarding-house in the Rue de Coigny, at Boulogne. The prisoner, after effecting her ruin, had remained with her at that house, where they assumed the name of De la Porte, until all their means were ex hausted, and a heavy bill contracted, when he suddenly abandoned her. Since her restoration to her family every means had been adopted to prevent a renewal of the intercourse, which witness believed to have been fully effected, until the preceding evening, when, on re turning home, he was informed by his daughter that the prisoner had just left the house, after using the most alarming threats to induce her to renew the intimacy. The poor girl was dreadfully distressed and agitated, and while endeavouring to tranquillise her mind, he was disturbed by a violent knocking at the door, at which he fiaind the prisoner, who demanded admittance, which witness refused and closed the door, upon which he made his way round to the rear of the premises, and having scaled the garden wall, kept up a constant knocking at the back door until the arrival of a policeman, when he was given into custody. Mrs. Ann Stockweller, a married lady, residing next door to the prosecutor, stated that in the early part of the evening she saw the prisoner at the street door in conversation with that gentleman's daughter, and heard her exclaim, " For God's sake go away, or I shall go mad." To which the prisoner vehemently replied, that unless she consented to accompany him he was deter mined to fire the house. On being asked by the Magistrate if he wished to give any answer to the charge of molesting the prose cutor's family, the prisoner, with groat effrontery, re plied that his visit was quite justifiable, as he had gone by appointment, and that the previous statement of the father was much exaggerated, as he owed no debts at Boulogne when he left the young lady and returned to this country. Mr. BROUCTITON severely reprehended the prisoner's conduct, which displayed as great a degree of heartless depravity as had ever come under his notice ; and said that as he considered it necessary to take the most ef fectual means to secure the future protection of his un happy victim and her father, he should require the prisoner to enter into his own recognizance in ROL, and find two sureties in 50/., to be of good behaviour for the next six months, and 24 hours' notice must be given to ascertain the sufficiency of the hail. LAMBETH. _ W. Carter Willoughby Hellier, a fish salesman at Bil lingsgate, appeared before Mr. Elliott, to answer to a summons taken out against him by Hanningham, an inspector on the South-Eastern Railway, which charged him with attempting to defraud the company of 125., and for which offence he was liable, under the company's Act, to a penalty of 40s. John Trewriu, a ticket collector at the Bricklayers' Arms station, deposed that on the night of Sunday week, in collecting the tickets of the ten o'clock train, he found the defendant and two other persons seated in a second-class carriage, though they had but third-class tickets. On their refusing to pay witness the difference of fare, he took them before the superintendent of the station. Mr. George Weekly, a clerk in the company's em ployment, stated that the defendant was at first very abusive, but ultimately offered to pay 125., the difference of his own and that of the two other persons' fares, provided be were allowed till the following morning, as he had no money about him. On leaving his card, and promising to call the following morning and pay the money, witness allowed him to go. He did call on Tuesday, but only offered to pay half the money. Mr. Hellier, in reply to the charge, said, that on the evening of Sunday week he procured a third-class ticket at Ramsgate for town, and having done so got into what he at the time considered an excellent carriage. On arriving at Ashford, however, he and others were peremptorily ordered out and desired to get into another train. The crowd was here so pressing and the con fusion so great, that there was the greatest possible dif ficulty in obtaining any seat at all. While the bell was being rung, and a number of passengers unprovided with places, a policeman belonging to the company opened the door of one of the carriages, and called out that there was room there for three, and he (defendant), an old man and his daughter, who had accompanied him from Ramsgate, got into the vacant places. In fact, so great was the confusion, that he had no choice whatever between getting into the carriage opened for him or being left behind, and therefore what he had done was from necessity, not choice. The change, he begged to assure his worship, from a third to a second-class car riage was by no means an improvement; on the con trary, that which he bad left was vastly more comfort able than the one he had got into, and altogether he considered the attempt to get from him more money nothing less than an imposition. If, however, the magis trate should order him to pay the additional fare, he should do so both for himself and the poor man and his daughter. gr. Weekly here read from the Company's printed time-table a caution to be observed in changing from the branch carriages to those on the regular line, and said it was quite impossible the defendant could mistake the difference between the second and third-class carriages, as the latter were open and uncovered, while the former were perfectly enclosed. The defendant declared that this was not the fact. The carriage he got into at Ramsgate was a "Parliamentary" carriage, roofed in, and infinitely more agreeable and comfortable, as he had before stated, than what was now called the second class vehicle on the regular line. Mr. ELLIOTT inquired if there were compartments railed off on the line at the stations, as on the Great Western, for the different class passengers ; for if so he did not see how a passenger could make the mistake of going to a second instead of a third-class carriage? Mr. Weekly replied that there was no such regulation at Ashford, as the number of branch trains and passengers meeting there precluded the possibility of adopting it. Mr. ELLIOTT observed that under the circumstances, and the carriages of the second and third-class being somewhat similar, such a mistake as that mentioned by the defendant might be made. It was, however, quite clear that, by his own undertaking, he had rendered himself liable to pay the difference of the fares, amount ing to 12s. The company did not wish to press for a penalty ; and if, therefore, the defendant paid the 125., as he promised to do, there was an end of the case. The defendant declared that from first to last the difference in the fare was not the object that actuated him in refusing to pay. He would now bow to the magis trates decision by paying 12s, and costs. TrIAMES% Two men, named James Lacey find Abraham Perriam, were brought before Mr. Ballantine, the former charged, on his own confession, with stealing fifteen dozen pewter pots, of various sizes, the property of Mr. Thomas Sims, the proprietor of the Earl of Effingham tavern and saloon, in the Whitechapel-road, and the other on suspicion of being a participator in the robbery. Mr. Pelham defended Perriam, who, up to the period of his apprehension, maintained an irreproachable character, and who keeps a small house, fitted yip as a pastry-conk ' s shop and refreshment room adjoining the saloon, which he rents of a Mr. Wade, the lessee (under Mr. Tires) of the theatre attached, where dramatic representations are nightly given, under the superin tendence of Mr. Denvil, the tragedian. Lacy was waiter and servant to Perriam, and left his employ about six weeks ago. On Wednesday night Lacey delivered him self to Maloney, the constable who attends the saloon, to whom be made a confession that be and Perriam generally took the pots from the saloon after the per formances were over, and that Perriam gave him 6d. to purchase a frying-pan, in which they were melted down. He said the metal was disposed of to a marine store dealer, named Baldwin. Eves, a police -sergeant, subse quently made inquiry at the shop of Baldwin, who has been from home some time. The officer was informed by Mrs. Baldwin that Lacey had offered her pewter for sale, which she refused to purchase. Mr. Sims said he had lost 15 dozen pewter pots of various sizes, during the last six months, and that Per riam had access to every part of the premises, including the saloon. Lacey was in th e p ract i ce o f s l eeping on the premises while employed by Perriam, of whose honesty h . e never entertained th e l eas t susp i cion until the present time. Mr. Pelham read a letter written by Lacey to Perriam, threatening the latter with exposure for not giving him a good character to a person named Morgan. Mr. Pel ham then urged that the accusation against Perriam was founded upon malice. Mr. BALLANTINE eventually decided on remanding Lacey, on his own confession, till Thursday, and ac eepted bail for the appearance of Perriam on the same day. SOUTHWARK. Georve Turner, a wan of respectable appearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Cottingham charged with obtaining 701. worth of leather, the property of Mr. Walland, a tanner, of Bermondsey, under false pretences, , It appeared that in March, 1545, the prisoner called 1 at the prosecutor' s an d se l ecte d a quant i ty of leather, of the value of 701., in payment for which he gave the acceptance of a person named Huggins for 50/., and the remainder in cash. When the bill became due it was ascertained that the acceptor had no effects, being insolvent at the time, and the prisoner could not be found, as he had removed altogether from his former place of abode. When he was at length discovered, his account of the transaction was, that he had pur chased the acceptance in question for 51. of a person named Sanderson, being ignorant at the time that the acceptor was insolvent. When application was made to Huggins on the subject, he had no recollection of having given his acceptance to Sanderson, but admitted that he had sent down two blank acceptances about the period of the above transaction to Manchester, and that one of them might be the hill in question, which was afterwards filled up without his authority. Sanderson explained before the magistrate that lie had sold the accepted bill to the prisoner, and that he knew nothing of its having been subsequently filled up and put into circulation until informed of the fact. The prisoner denied that he absconded after he had procured the leather, but admitted that he removed from the neighbourhood where he was living at the time, over to Whitecross-street, to more extensive premises. Mr. COTTINGITAM said, that as the case at present stood, Sanderson's conduct i❑ the affair did not appear to be without suspicion. Turner, however, was the man who had uttered the 501. bill, knowing at the time that the acceptor was in a state of insolvency. The presence of Huggins would be indispensable in the elucidation of the case, and it would then be discovered whether there was any collusion amongt the parties to obtain money on each other's acceptances by means of what was termed " kite flying.". The circumstances attending this affair were of a description to favour that impression, and in order that they might be thoroughly sifted, he should re mand the prisoner until Thursday next, but" would have no objection to accept of bail, himself in 100/., and two sureties of 251. each. The magistrate also adjudged San derson, who attended voluntarily, to enter into his own recognisance of 501., to appear on the same day, and directed that every exertion should be used to procure the attendance of Huggins, the alleged acceptor of the bill, at the next examination. MEETING of MIDDLESEX MAGIS TRATES. The usual monthly meeting of Middlesex Magistrates took place yesterday, at the Court-house, Clerkenwell green, for the transaction of county business. Mr. Pownall in the chair. The Deputy Clerk of the Peace having read the mi nutes of the last Court, and disposed of the routine business, proceeded to lay before the Court the reports of the visiting justices of the several county prisons, each of which presented favourable accounts of the health, discipline, and general good conduct of the prisoners confined within the respective gaols. In the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, there were no fewer than 1,031 prisoners —namely, 775 males, 256 females, and 9 children. The House of Correction at Westminster con tains 651 prisoners, of whom there are only two males and one female in the infirmary. The report was received. Mr. WHALESBY gave notice of a motion, for the abo lition of female hard labour on the treadmill in West minster Bridewell. ' The following correspondence between the late Secre tary of State, Sir James Graham, and the present Home Secretary, Sir G. Grey, and the Committee of Visitors of the Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, relative to the pro posed additional asylum, was laid before the Court:— "Finsbury-square, Juno 5 1896. "Sir,—As Chairman of the Committee of Visitors of the Middlesex Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, in the absence of Mr. Tulk, I obey their wishes, and express their hope that you will not adopt any conclusion on the sub ject of the observations which they have submitted to you on the 22d ; ,of May, as to an additional lunatic asylum for the county of Middlesex, without previously affording them the favour of a personal interview with you ; and that they trust the importance of the matter will appear to you to justify such an appropriation of your valuable time.—And I have the honour to be your obedient servant, "J. WILKS. " To the Right Hon. Sir James Graham." " Whitehall, June 9, 1846. " Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the sth inst., and to inform you that before he gives any final opinion on the subject of the proposed additional lunatic asylum for the county of Middlesex, he will be ready to receive the Committee of Visitors of the Hanwell Asylum, and to appoint a time for the purpose.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " S. M. PHILLIPS. " To John Wilks, Esq., Finsbury-square." Since the Ministerial changes, a second letter, in closing Sir James Graham's reply, was addressed to Sir George Grey, to which the following acknowledgment was sent:— "Whitehall, Aug. 4,1846. " Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to acknowledge the receipt of your letter and its in closure, and to inform you that he will appoint as early a day as possible for the interview with the Committee of Visitors of the Middlesex Pauper Lunatic Asylum.— I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " W. SOMERVILI.E " To C. A. Tulk, Totteridge Park." The Court was only occupied half an hour, and did not consist of more than twelve members. The whole of the business having been disposed of, the Court ad journed at half-past twelve o'clock. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH THURSDAY.—This morning, at 10 o'clock, the. Earl of Auckland, First Lord of the Admi ralty, resumed his levee at the Royal Naval College, and gave audiences to the following officers : Rear Admirals—Charles Carter and Sir W. A. Mon• tagu, C. 8., K.C.H. Commodore—Douglas. Captains—Jones, Liardet, Westley, Sweney, Richard son, and Sir W. Dickson, Bart. Commanders—Twiss, Ward, Cannon, Steane, J. Low rey, Westbrook, Farquhar. Lieutenants Compton, Billingsley, Courbauld, M'Clure, Jenner, and M'Donnell. Paymasters and Pursers—floimeister, Acheson, and M‘Dermott. ROYAL MARINES. Major—Moore, R.M.A. (Barrack-master). The Noble First Lord concluded his levee a few mi nutes past twelve, and, after going through one or two departments of the college, proceeded to inspect the children of the Seamen and Marines' Orphan School, or Portsea, who were drawn up in front of the college on the right, facing the entrance to the mansion of their distinguished and gallant President, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle. Dr. Morgan, one of the directors, and Mr. Charles Young, the honorary secretary, explained to their Lord ships the nature of the charity. After minutely in specting the children (sixty boys and thirty-five girls), the First Lord expressed his warm satisfaction at their clean and healthy and apparently happy condition, and said he hoped to have the pleasure of seeing them at their other institution (the ground for which was granted by the late Board of Admiralty). After complimenting the directors and the hon. secretary for their highly bene ficial and praiseworthy labours, their Lordships pro ceeded to make a general inspection of the various de partraents of the dockyard, commencing with the rope house, thence proceeding to the superintendent's office, on board the Amphitrite razee corvette, to the works of the new steam-basin, returning by the millwright's shop, and embarking soon after four o'clock, at, the King's stairs, to inspect the Britannia, 120 ; Powerful, 84 ; Vengeance, 84 ; and other advanced ships. While the First Lord held his levee, Rear-Admiral Dundas and Captain Berkeley, accornpanted by Rear- Admiral the Earl of Cadogan, and Commander Hew lett, of the Excellent, went out in the Bee steam-tender to Spithead, to inspect the Hound (new iron 10 gun brig). They returned to harbour at noon, when the whole Board went round the Dockyard. Their Lordships dine this evening at their hotel (the George), where they en t er t a i n Ad m i ral Sir Chas. Ogle, the Commander-in-Chief; Major-General the Hon. Sir Hercules Pakenham, Lieutenant• Governor of the gar rison ; Captain-Superintendent Carter, of Hasler, &c. ; Colonel Jones, commandant of this division of Royal Marines ; Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, superintendent of the dockyard ; Mr. Richard Haig, R N., Seoretary to the Commander in-Chief ; Captain Pasco, of the Vic tory, and the other captains of the ships in commission at this port, and a few private friends. Covers are laid for twenty-four. The Gladiator steam-frigate, Captain Robb, is now ready for sea. She bent sails this day. The Sylvia tender sailed this evening for Jersey-. Prince Castelcicala, the Neapolitan Minister, trans acted business at the Foreign-office yesterday. CITY OF LONDON GENERAL PENSION SOCIETY.— The Secretary of this Institution, Mr. H. F. Richardson, has been honoured with a communication from his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge, consenting to preside at the next Anniversary Festival of this valuable charity. The Illustrious Prince presided in 1840 for the institution. Amongst numerous donations lately received by the society, may be named the Marquis of Breadalbane, 50/. ; Thomas Dickinson, Esq., 52/. 10s. ; the Worshipful Companies of Goldsmith's and Draper's, each 501. ; Joseph Baxendale, Esq., in addition to 80 guineas ; M rs. H . F . Richardson, 10/. 10s.. Luke J. Hansard, Esq., 601., in addition to 10L; Mr. and Mrs. Braithwaite, 21/. ; Mr. Uzielli, 211., &c., &c. It is quite anticipated that after the next festival, the payments to the pensioners will be at their maximum amount, as resolved on in 1818, the date of the society's foundation. CHINESE BRICKS.—Some time since the arrival of a cargo of bricks from China was announced. We now find that a parcel of bricks which had been imported into the port of Liverpool by a vessel called the Annia, from Shanghae, which were originally reported by the master of the vessel as being for exportation, are to be landed. The parcel comprises the large number of 15,000, and bears good our former remark with respect to the im portation of bricks from China for actual use in this country for the general purposes to which they are ap plied. The importations which now take place from foreign and frequently distant parts of the world are so varied and remarkabl e as con ti nua ll y to ca ll f or especial notice. [ADVERTISEMENTI-A LIVER AND STOMACH COMPLAINT.--WONDERFUL EFFICACY OF HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. — The son of Mr. Thompson, national schoolmaster, Stokesley, had been in a most precarious way for upwards of three years, and at last became so consumptive as to be appa rently in a dying state. Three ilstulous sores formed in his chest, so that the stomach usually rejected both food and me dicine. Mr. Robert Calvert, chemist, Stokesley, bears testimony that by the use of llolloway's Pills, the youth is now nearly cured of his ailments, his appetite and digestion being good, besides re gaining strength and flesh; yet, be it remembered, this sufferer was nearly at death's door. Is not this truly extraordinary? These Pills are sold by all druggists, And at the Proprietor's Establialumut, 244, Strand, London• THE PRESS. We yesterday had the pleasure of recording a satisfac tory answer, expiessed in the most significant language! to the complaints so often and so wantonly made again'''. the public gratitude an d di scernmen t. After a lapse of five years—when it is often thought lawful to forget an obligation, and still oftener found prudent to qualify praise—a company of British merchants, comprisini, the Elite of the metropolis, met to acknowledge, w it " their own lips, and with suitable splendour of hospitality, their sense of one act of Public duty on the part .oci, this journal. We might safely challenge the most extensive and diligent search to so remarkable an honour. Celehrations of this kin" have usually been restricted to the statesman and the soldier who have governed, or saved, or extended th e empire. There is a brilliancy about such actions which cannot fail to provoke the genial spirit of public hosr tality: so from the days of Homer downwards the hero has always looked forward to the assembled chiefs, the foe a parallel loaded board and the fl ow i ng b ow l, th e libation an d the pledge, as his prospective conso l a ti on amid unfinis hed toils. We may be j us tly p rou d o f th e extension 0f this honour to the achieveme n t s o f the press. Bu t we would rather dwell on it as th e p roo f of a discrimina tio n and gratitude which alway s ex i s t, an d are c onstantly s ready to show themselves, f or w hi c h, however, it he . been our peculiar good fortune to supply an extraordi nary occasion. If the press does n o t a lways find its set de' vices acknowledged as it may h a pp en t o think they the serve—if it is left to struggl e un d er diffi c ulties, and still more depressing burd en o f con t em pt or indiffereeche —it by no means follows that the cause lies wholly the public. Should any still b e t em p te d t o think so, we beg them to reflect on the t es ti mon i a l s o f w hich Wed es ; day brought the splendid and agreeable sequel. ; 110 our own part, we have never d one th a t i n justice to _ people of England. We h ave never supposed it wholly absorbed in the pur su it o f p r i va t e a dvantage , 9 ,, insensible to the real worth a n d genuine motives of im e lie-spirited undertakings, and so ready " to accept the boon and forget the giver. We h ave dealt with es a candid, discerning, and, abo ve a ll, a gen er : ° - • public. Accordingly we have f ree ly b es towed upon " ti n devotion which it is not for us to describe. and whieb , b i e things considered, we must say has met with a n ° n and adequate requital. That so p owe rful an ore_ as the press, one so comparati ve ly mo d ern in its 11 . 1 '_ tory, which appeals with such equal force to every telligent mind, and is, therefore, so suspiciously 6 1 1 10 with democratical influences, should not meet Viit li ,; the encouragements lavished upon other not more r h "; triotic and honourable professions, is an accident Of tPi age, which time may amend, and which for the Preset it is beneath the spirit of a great and good nasi n :. lament. After so sterling a testimony, and so uncla`",, tionable a proof of success, we may be permitted to 5% in a few words how public estimation, as opposed long transient popularity, is to be obtained. A very c r t experience has tested the prescriptio n . First, it is ~td obtained by a one-sided devotion to a n y plausible seu — lit of opinion, or by a servile obedi ence t o an ascen d % party or dominant class. It is not obtained by lielP. t a to raise and colour the successive v i s i ons o f a superdetlio philanthropy. It is not obtained by f o llowing in errant path of restless innovation, by ever profferl u 'i a ready tribute to popular names, o r by lavishing °°.• praise on any who may be dispos e d t o an inter of the worthless commodity. Still l ess i s it secure d flattering the chimerical expectations of a degl ito b i t and idle cupidity. All these ways are simple and straig.,, enough to one sort of result. They have lured the tht into;sand and one adventurers of the press to an ignoal downfal, which it is easy to charge on the public i l t r r y titude or dulness. A suspicion of short cuts is the c ',ol first instinct of prudence in those who have to iD"' and advise, not for this summer, or this Parliament,for this ephemeral race of speculators or statesmen , b ll , of long terms of y ears scarce l y scanne d b y the naelrolrfair the old, and therefore with difficulty realised in t he re ticipations of the young. B ut a pos i t i ve answer las, quired to the question. We say, then, that a s crups"; o f laborious, and painful truthfulne ss i s th e gre at seer fa c ts successful journalism. To investig a t e , t o hunt cut :N. from their hiding-places, to gather and select the In ;Is rials of knowledge, is the first business of a new s ,P n ,'vv e t It should ever remember its name. Wh a t e ver von eft, may have attached to our opi n i ons , an d hosreY e b a s perience may have confirmed their soundness, 14 br been our invariable rule to put facts first, and th en s o ferences. In judgment we might err, but for long as we faithfully supplied the inea n t a ilf a sounder decision, we c ou ld no t very se r ' — hos mislead. Respect for the public sagacity • taught us to believe that we had d °lle n le great deal when we had given it the true data of eiu n ne tion. We say it emphatically—n o one w h o is ri o t,r; 3 o sonally acquainted with the difficulties of the t ask t se form any idea of the rumours we h ave to rei ec ",,ls.: contradictions we have to u n ra v el, the Toe teries we have to uncover, the machinations we t he to detect, in the employment of daily catering t ° d e s intelligence of the empire. It is not what the r ea d il y sees—it is what he does not see, and what ever,l n . buries in oblivion—the tedious and difficult sub:l lll 'r i b t he previous to the brief judgment—in which consist s (' by real labour of our profession. The spirit generat e ar e this exercise has followed us throughout, and, lola encouraged to conclude, is evident in the columns ij o W journal. The same zeal which once urged us to f 0 asst out the ramifications of a deep-laid conspiracy 0 5; 5 te the bankers of Europe has ever l e d us to inves i ln every possible danger to the prosperity, confidenc e ' re fer security of the nation ; and has also taught us to P ol e those political principles and social maxims wh h i l tori stood the test of a long experienc e , an d to Whidi has given an undeniable verification.— Times.
