LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT O!' CHANCERY, Dec. 14. The Lord Chancellor sat in the Old Hill, Lincoln's Inn, to-day, and took appeal motions, this being the third seal. KIRK V. THE BROMLEY UNION. Th arguments were resumed in this part-heard appeal, and the further consideration of the case ad journed to Wednesday next. OLDYIELD V. COBBETT- Mrs. Cobbett applied in person this morning, in this case, for the discharge of her husband from custody. The LoRD CHANCELLOR said he would look at the affidavits, and give judgment in the course of a week. The Court then pro2eeded to hear appeal motions. POLLS' COURT, Dec. 14. COLEMAN V. THE DIRECTORS Or THE EASTERN COUN. TIES RAILWAY. This was a motion on the part of the defendants to dissolve an injunction that had been obtained by the plaintiff on the 19th of November last. The injunction was to restrain the defendants fr"rn entering into a con tract on behalf of the Eastern Counties Railway with the Hare ich Swam-packet Company. It appeared that the defendants and the other directors of the Eastern Counties Railway, conceiving that it would have the effect of bringing considerable traffic from Holland and the northern ports of Europe, were desirous of effecting en arrangement with the proprietors of the Harwich Steam-packet Company, guaranteeing them a certain interest on the principal, as well as funded capital of 150,0001. of the company, for the conveyance of their passengers to Rotterdam and other northern ports of Europe. The plaintiff, who is one of the share holders in the Eastern Counties Railway, was opposed to the execution of this contract, and filed a bill on be half of himself and other shareholders, and obtained the injunction in question, which the defendants now sought to have dissolved. In support of the motion, it was con tended that it was the wish of the majority of the share holders that this contract should be carried out, the ad vantages of it being obvious, and that the reason of the plaintiff's hostility to such being effected, originated in the fact of his being the secretary of the General Steam Navigation Company, with whose interests it would of course materially interfere to have such an arrangement as they proposed carried out. Messrs. Findersley, Groves, and Coolmister, appeared in support of the motion, and Messrs. Turner, Roupell, and another Learned Gentleman in behalf cf the plaintiff. The case had not concluded at the rising of the Court. VICE-CHAT' , LE 1i Y CIU RT, Dec. 14. (Before the VICE-CIIANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) This being the third seal atter Michaelmas term the Vice-Chancellor of England took motions to-day. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAM COMPANY V. GAMBLE AND NOTT. This case came before hii HONOUR upon motion on behalf of the plaintiffs, the Electric Telegraph Company, for an injunction to restrain the defendants, Messrs. Gamble and Nott, from using the patent they had ob tained for a new invention of the electro-magnetic tele. graph, on the ground that it was a piracy of certain patents, the property of the Electric Telegraph Company. The case was proceeding when our evening edition went to press. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec. 14. LIBEL.—THE SPECTATOR NEWSPAPER AND THE SOCIETY OF BRITISH ARTISTS.— MC RLSTONE V. CLAYTON. Sir Frederick Thesiger and Mr. Edwards appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. M. D. Hill and Mr. Phipps for the defendant. Sir F. THESIGER stated the case to ti.e jury. He said the plaintiff, Mr. Hurlstone, was the President of the Society of British Artists, in Suff place, Pall-mall, and the defendant the printer and publisher of the Spectator newspaper, and that the action was brought to recover compensation in damages, for a libel which appeared in that newspaper on the I lth April last. It appeared that the society were desirous of obtaining a charter of incor poration, and a memorial to the Queen was framed,: and suspended on the walls of the institution, to which a considerable number of names were attached ; amongst which were the names of several distinguished noble men and gentlemen who had either been members of the institution, or who i - iad purchased pictures from its exhibitions, or given .:onajuna to the institution. If the article in question had merely contained remarks upon the works which were exhibi:ed, or on the ability of the artists however unjust, or iiidaeral, or severe, the plaintiff weuld have had no right to complain, because any person - who exhibited a picture. as a work of art, to the public, or published a book, offered himself to the public judg ment ; and a newspaper had a perfect right to critisiz them in whatever strain it thought proper. The only appeal was to the tri:Anal of public opinion, and the plaintiff had not the slightest de; re to fetter criticism or to prevent the free exerci.,e of the critic's judg ment ; but ho did complain that on the present occasion, the at title complained of trans cended the free limits of criticism, it left its proper field and descended to an attack upon the plaintiff, and in fact, the Society, of whick he was the President, of a private and personal nature. If the article had appeared in any of those newspapers which, he reg-etted to say, disgraced the high character of this country, and which were in the habit of making attacks upon indivi duals of a grossly personal character fur gain, the society might have treated it, and properly treated it, with contempt, but when it had been published in the columns of such a newspaper as the Spectator, which, he was bound to say, possessed a very high character, was conducted with great talent, an,l which, as far as he was able to judge, olmest invariably expressed itself in fair and liberal terms, and which deservedly enjoyed groat public influ ence and a very extensive circulation, it was impossible any man, or any body of men, c mid afford to allow it to pass unheeded, and not to come before a jury of their countrymen, in order to vindicate his, or their, charac ters. After having alluded to a number of notices of the institution which had appeared in the Spectator since 1840, and which severely criticised its proceedings, he pro ceeded to read the article out of which the present action arose. After referring at some length to the conduct of the managors of the iiistitut:on, it went on to state that there was reason to believe that they had suzpended a fraudulent list of names to the memorial, which they had not received any sonction to use. Mr. Nihbitt produced the memorial which had been transmitted to the Home Office for presentation to the Queen. • Mr. George Stevens, one of the managers of the in stitution, stated that the attention of the society had been directed to the publication of the notices of the'Spectuter, from the time referred to up to the present time; that tickets had during the whole of that time been regularly transmitted to the editor of the Spectator, as well as noblemen, gentlemen, and Members of Parliament, for private views of the exhibition, and that he had been furnished with a season ticket which had not ex pired. He also proved that the names attached to the memorial were either the signatures of the persons themselves, or were affixed by their express permission. Mr. lime, Q.C., then addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant. Ile said the defendant, as soon as he ascertained that the writer of the article had fallen into an error on account of the hasty glance which he cast at the memorial, he made an ample apology, and expressed regret for its publication ; he was at a loss to understand why the plaintiff bad not deemed that apology sufficient. On the evening of the day on which t, :e :irtiela was published, Mr. Flight, the solicitor, and Mr. H tssall, the sa er - tary to the institution, calle i it the (Alice of the S'pectttor newspaper, and expresse l a wish to see tie editor. They were iminaliately introduced to Mr. Rin total, the editor and crap. ietor or the paper, who, on bearing the statement that the article was d. void of truth, informed them that he should take the earliest Opportunity of retracting the expressions contained in the article of which they com. P •' laini- 0 • He inserted a retractation in the following number, which stated that they (the Spectator) were bound to admit that the statement in the article was devoid of truth, and that as it was contrary to the P°iior of the Spectator to publish statements which were untrue, they took the earliest opportunity of retracting the statement, and expressed their regret for its inserti.on. But after the interview with Mr.Rin toul, and before the publication of the retractation, and when it was fully understood that the matter would be i thus settled, the plaintiff intimated through his solicitor, Mr. Flight, that it would be absolutely necessary to bring the matter before a jury. He referred to a case tried before the late Lord Ellenborough, which was an action brought by a Baronet named Carr against a bar rister named Wood, for publishing a humorous parody on the works of the Baronet, but the jury gave an adverse verdict. In that case Lord Ellenboroughg held that a perso n p u bli s hi ng a blok, or exhibiting picture, laid himself f a i r l y out f or criticism, and that a a critic had perfect right to express himself according to his opinion. In this case nothing more had been done, and what ;was incorrect had been amply atoned for. Here the defendant had been invited wi'h others to criticise the exhibition, and it was criticised according to the opinion of the writer. Two editions of the Spectator were published, one on Saturday morning, and another in the evening, which contained the markets and the principal news of the day. A portion of the matter in the previous edition had to be withdrawn to snake room for the later intelligence, and in this way the parrgraph complained of in the article in question was withdrawn. Lloking at the whole of the facts, he apprehended that the defendant was entitled to a verdict; but if they con sidered he was not, he thought they would be of opinion that the injury which the plaintiff had sustained would be met by mere nominal damages. Mr. f larford, a compositor employed in the printing office of the newspaper, proved that the paragraph and S Dne-line paragraph from the fashionable intelligence were omitted to make room for the late news. Mr. Brimble, a clerk at the publishing office, cor roborated the interview referred to, and added tha., as 'soon as Mr. Rintoul discovered that the statement was er roneous, he directed him not to dispose of any more of stbe early editions. .Sir F. TRESIGER replied. Ile said the plaintiff con sidered the apology, as it was called, had aggravated, instead of destroyed the sting which the libel had in flicted. The defendant could hardy plead carelessness, as he had pursued the same style of criticism for many years; besides, he had not taken the earliest opportunity of retracting the libel, as he might have done so in the late edition of his pap r or in the daily papers. Lord DENMAN summed up, and left it to the jury to , say the amount of dcmages which the plaintiff was en.. ;titled to. It was true the defendant had made an ap.ulogy, but he thought it would have been more satis l'acturY, if, instead of saying he was bound to admit the incorrizetriess of the statement, he had stated that he was satisfied of its inaccuracy. j , he jury, after a short deliberation, found a verdict for the p laintiff—Dama g e s , 100 /.

NINa., iIECEMSER i 5, 1645. thers, carrying on the business of grocers, in Clerken. well-close, against the Great Western Railway Com- I pang, to recover damages for the non-delivery of a chest of tea, valued at 81. Mr. Hayes and another Learned Gentleman, appeared for the plaintiffs ; the Attorney-General and Mr. Haw kins ft.'. the Great Western Railway Company. It appeared that Mr. Wm. Leman, one of the plain tiffs, purchased a grocery business from a person of the name of Colson, at Bridgewater. After the purchase he requested his brother in London to transmit him a chest of tea by the railway, but, as be was unknown at Bridgewater. it was to be directed to Mr. Colson. The chest was booked at the George and Blue Boar, and arrived at Bridgewater. The company, however, re fused to give it up, alleging as a reason that it was di rected to Colson, who had bolted from his creditors and become a bankrupt, and that they would detain it for the benefit of the assignees. Several witnesses were called on the part of the plain- tiffs. The defence set up was, that the tea had been fraudulently transferred to the plaintiffs by Cohen, and that they had detained it and delivered it up to his creditors, believing that it truly belonged to them—in which they were perfectly justified. They believed they had performed a great public duty. The jury found for the defendants. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 14. SIMMONDS V. MUNTZ AND OTHERS. This case, which was in part heard on Saturday, was resumed this morning. The case for the defence having been concluded, and Mr. Humphrey having been heard in reply, The jury, after a short consultation, found that the plaintiff was entitled to the sum of 1001. fur his extra services. The LORD CrtEir BARON directed the jury to find their verdict for the defendant upon each of the three grounds, with liberty to move to enter the ♦erdict for the plaintiff forthe sum of 3001. upon the first claim, 501. upon the second, and 1001. upon the third claim. A verdict was returned for the plaintiff upon several unimportant points. having heard that a marriage with the sister of a former wife was illegal. In the month of March, in the pre sent year, he married a female named Eliza Bostock, The friends of the second wife hearing of this, caused him to be apprehended, and brought before Mr. Maude, at Manchester, when the facts of the case having been fully stated, Mr. Maude ordered the prisoner to be dis charged, he being of opinion that the marriage of the prisoner with his first wife's sister was null and void. It was understood that the prosecution was instituted by a society of gentlemen, who have run the risk of violating the canon law by marrying the sisters of their deceased wives, in order to have the question fairly raised before the judges. Mr. FOSTER contended, that under the Levitical law the marriage of a man with the sister of his deceased wife was perfectly legal. It was true that it was opposed to the canon laws; but these were not based upon any Act of Parliament. He contended at some L ngth that the prisoner had not committed any offence within the criminal statutes by marrying his first wife's sister, and that therefore the marriage with her was perfectly legal. Consequently, the marriage of the prisoner with Eliza Bostock, during the lifetime of Ann Chadwick, constituted the crime of bigamy. Mr. MoNx, on the other side, contended that the mar riage with Ann Fisher was quite illegal, as it was for bidden that a man should marry with his wife's sister. Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN (havingeonsulted Baron Rolfe) said it appeared to him that the best course to be pur sued would be this—that the jury should find a special verdict, simply stating the facts as to the consanguinity of the parties in the ordinary form of a special verdict, and stating that upon the question whether the persons were guilty or not, they would bow to the decision of the Court. He (Mr. Justice Wightman) would give his judgment to the effect that the prisoner was not guilty, and then the prosecution could move for a writ of error. He thought this would avoid any difficulties. If the prosecutors were advised to try a writ of error, this would be the proper mode of reaching the question; therefore, the facts that would be found by the jury would be simply the facts of the two marriages—that on the 14th of September, 1845, he married Ann Fisher, and that, subsequently, on the 23d of March, in the pre sent year, he married Eliza Bostock. They would also find that Ann Fisher, to whom the prisoner was married on the 14th of September. 1845, was the sister of Hannah Fisher, to whom the prisoner had been pre viously married on the 27th of June, 1825, and who was deceased at the time that he married Ann Fisher. Now that really was the whole case, and as to the question whether the jury would find the prisoner guilty or not, they must say that they did not know, up al which he (Mr. Justice Wightman) would give his judgment that he was not guilty. The jury would, therefore, find a verdict stating the facts which he had mentioned. lie thought that would be the best course. Mr. MONK observed that he was not sorry his Lord ship had curtailed his (Mr. Monk's) argument. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN said that he entertained a very strong opinion upon the subject, and therefore he need say nothing more upon the matter. The jury accordingly returned the special verdict as desired. Mr. Mom( said he thought it right to state that his client, having heard some doubt passed upon the validity of his marriage with his sister-in-law, had gone to the R•v. Mr. Wilson, one of the chaplains at the Collegiate Church at Manchester, from whom he obtained a docu ment, stating that the second marriage with Ann Fisher was utterly null and void ; and it was not until then that he again got married. The prisoner was then discharged. York. Dec. 11. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) George Adamson, convicted yesterday of having at tempted to poison a family at Wakefield, was placed at the bar, when judgment of death was recorded againt him. __ _ _ ROBBERY NEAR POCHLINGTON.—DanieI Bradley, 29, pleaded Guilty to having broken into the granary of Ro bert Hothan,:of Pecklington, and attempted to steal a quantity of bran, maslin, and onions. The prosecutor is a farmer residing at Pecklington Mill Farm, and on the evening of the Ist of November last, a servant in his employment was attending to a horse which was ill, when he heard a noise in the gra nary. He went to inform his master of the circum stance, and on returning along with Mr. Hotham they found the door of the granary open, and a man ran out. The prosecutor seized a fork, and went in pursuit of the robber, and on tho former attempting to leap a hedge, the latter stabbed him in the thigh with the fork, from the effects of which he fell, and was secured. His LORDSHIP observed that it was a great mistake on the part of persons who supposed they had a right to inflict personal injury in the defence of their property. Had the prisoner in this case died from the injuries in flicted on him, the prosecutor would have been liable to a osecution for manslaughter at least. The prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprison ment. CONCEALMENT OF CHILD-BIRTH AT LEEDS.—Ann Greenwood, 31, was charged with having, on the 11th of August last, unlawfully concealed the birth of her child. Mr. Hill was for the prosecution; the prisoner was undefended. Guilty.—To be imprisoned for two calendar months. HORSE-STEALING AT WEST ARDSLEY.—John Fearn sides, 16, was charged with having, on the 17th Septem ber ast, stolen a mare, a saddle, and bridle, the property of Joseph Dunnill. Mr. Hill and Mr. Shaw were counsel for the prosecu tion; the prisoner was not defended. The prosecutor is a farmer and innkeeper, residing at Whttwood, near Pontefract. and on the day in question he had a mare at Lee fair. On calling at a public-house for refreshment, he gave his horse to the ostler, who, being engaged at the time, handed the animal over to a boy to hold. A few minutes afterwards the prisoner accosted the boy, and said his master wanted the horse. The boy, be lieving this statement, gave the mare to the prisoner, who immediately rode off with it. He attempted to dis pose of the animal at Wakefield, and it was subsequently found in his possession on the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole Railway. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Two previous convictions for felony were proved against him.—Sen tence deferred. ASSAULT AT ALMONDBURY.—MichaeI Buckley, 23, was charged with havin, on the 21st of July last, at Almondbury, assaulted John Collins, and bitten off part of his nose. Mr. Hall was for the prosecution; Mr. Shaw defended the prisoner. On the 21st of July last, the prosecutor, prisoner, and other persons were at the Golden Fleece public-house, at Aldmonbury, when a quarrel ensued, and the pri soner seized hold of the prosecutor, and bit off part of his ose. At this stage of the proceedings the prisoner, by advice of his counsel, pleaded Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. TIRE QUEEN •. J. B. FAULKNER ♦ND B. FABIAN.. RAILWAY SCRIP. Mr. Ball appeared, on Thursday last, upon the part of J. B. Faulkner and B. Fabian, the former of whom had been tried at the Central Criminal Court, and the latter of whom had absconded before the day appointed for his trial, that the remainder of monies and railway scrip in the hands of Charles Walker, one of the in spectors of the City police, might be delivered up to them or to their a ttorne) s. The Learned Counsel stated that Inspector Walker had in his possession certain railway scrip., and stock, and money, tl a property of Faulkner and Fabian; that Faulkner was ;tied at the Central Criminal Court, and Fabian did not surrender; that Mr. Bodkin applied for restitution of their property, and the Learned Judge did not na :Ice an order, but it was afterwards said that such property as Leon Solomon, who prosecuted, could identify was to be given up to him, and he identified 3602, part of 1,065/.; that the remainder was:expected to be delivered to Faulkner ; that the money and other property were still in the Inspector's hands ; and that afterwards an action was brought by Faulkner and Fabian against Walker and upon that a rule was drawn up, which hay ing been arguod, the Judge said he thought the 3601. ought to have been impounded. Under these circum stances, it was referred to Alderman Gibbs, before whom the case had been originally brought, to decide what portiln referred to the crime • and the ',same I Counsel argued that the property in Walker's hands did not refer to the charge against Faulkner and Fabian. on the face of the depositions, and that the only property connected with the forgery was the Buckinghamshire scrip, which was delivered to Mr. Leon Solomon, at the office of his solicitor. Mr. W. H. Cook, who appeared for Mr. Leon Solo mon, said I do not dispute the law, as laid down by Mr. Ball, but he has carefully avoided the question here. In the case of Greenacre the charge was for murder —a totally different offence from the present—which is one of forgery ; and .when Faulkner and Fabian were taken into custody they admitted that the money taken from them was that which they had received from Mr. Solo • mon ; and he identified some of the notes as those for which the forged scrip had been the consideration. They are intimately connected with the offence committed. They had money and other scrip raised from the sale of forged Buckingham scrip. It was admitted by the persons charged that 2001. found upon them were the proceeds of a previous transaction with Mr. Solomon ; and my application is that you will protect the interest of Mr. Solomon upon the strength of that admission. The inspector made the following statement, without being sworn—When Faulkner and Fabian were brought in custody to the station-house, Mr. Solomon came up to the desk to me with some forged scrip in his hand, and said the two persons were charged with forgery to the amount of between 600/. and 7001. laulkner or Fabian answered, " Your money is there," referring to the money I had received from Faulkner at the station• house. He handed it over to me, and Mr. Solomon said can I take it. I said certainly not. Yon have brought these persons on a charge of forgery, and now they are in custody I cannot give up any of the property. I de sired Mr. Solomon to send me the numbers of the notes he could swear to, and he did so the next day, and the numbers corresponded with the sales for 3601. I had in my possession. Mr. W. H. Read, bill discounter, stated the parti culars of what took place when he went with Mr•. Solomon to the office of Faulkner and Fabian. What one of them said was immediately adopted by the other, and they said that whatever transactions Mr. Solomon had had with Mr. Richards they felt bound to take upon themselves. Inspector Walker said he had delivered up 3601. to Mr. Solomon, and 101. to Faulkner, holding in his own hands 655/. Mr. Cook—We claim 4801., and 2001., making toge ther 680/.. of which we have had 3601., and we do not claim the railway scrip. The case was then adjourned for two days. Alderman Gums yesterday delivered his decision upon the application of counsel, as follows (in the ap prehensien of Faulkner and Fabian on a charge of for gery, the prisoners delivered up to inspector Walker sundry bank notes and scrip railway shares. After se veral examinations they were committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court, but afterwards they were bailed by one of her Majesty's Judges Faulkner surrendered at a subsequent session—took his trial, and was acquitted. Fabian did not make his appearance there, nor has he surrendered at any subsequent ses,i-n, and his rec g nisances, as well as those of his bail, have been estreated. Application has now been made to me, the committing magistrate, to order the property in the hands of In spector Walker to be restored either to Faulkner an Fa bian, the accused, or to Mr. Solomon, the prosecutor, and counsel was heard by me in support of the respective claimants. After considering the argument of counsel in the behalf of both parties, it appears to me that some portion—but what portion does not appear—of the pro perty found upon Faulkner and Fabian, now in possession of Inspector Walker , was admitted by both of the ac cused to be the produce of fraud, and as Fabian, one of the accused, has not yet surrendered and taken his trial, I consider it a question still undecided to whom the pro perty admitted to have been in the joint possession of the accused, really belongs. Consequently, I don't feel justified in making any order. Thomas Johnson, who was charged by Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, the carriers, with having stolen a truss of silk, value 125/., was brought up for final examination. Mr. Watts, of the firm of Goodman and Watts, of Cole man-street, appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Riches, clerk to Messrs. Chaplin and Home, upon being further examined, said lie superintended the general delivery of the parcels. They were called over from a book. The prisoner had been sent, on two occa sions, to Messrs. Machin with trusses similar to the one lost. The word "silk" was put upon the delivery ticket, and the prisoner returned the ticket the same night. The prisoner packed the parcels according to the book, and there was only one truss sent out that day. Mr. W. Chappell, silk throwster, of Whitchurch, in Hampshire, knew Mr. Machin, of Twisters-alley, and on the 23d of November sent a bale addressed to him, which weighed about 164 pounds. Arthur Stanbury, a person in the employment of the South-Western Company, said he recollected the arrival of truss on the 23d of November, and the Railway the delivery of it to the prisoner to convey it to Messrs. Machin's premises. It was placed in the centre of the van, and witness said to the prisoner, by way of caution, this is silk. Mr. Cope, clerk to Messrs. Machin, of Twister's-alley, stated that a bale of silk was expected on the 24th of November from William Chappell, but it never arrived at the warehouse. The value of it was 1251. 16s. 10d. George Henry Williams, assistant to a chemist in Chiswell-street, stated that on the 24th November the prisoner called at the shop with two hampers, and on going left his book on the counter, and did not return for it, although called to is a loud voice. Afterwards a boy called for the book.—Committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. William Eales was charged with an assault on a gentleman named Barinehr, in one of the Islingtfn omnibusses. William Barinehr, the complainant said, about a quarter before five o'clock on Saturday afternoon, the omnibus in which he was riding, drew up in Portland. street, and took up the prisoner, ~ • ho came in and seated himself on the transverse seat between the complainant and a young lady. The prisoner, after having seated himself; laid hold of his friend, who was following him in, and attempted to place him in the young lady's lap. Complainant and another gentleman opposed the inten tion, on protection of the lady, but the prisoner insisted on placing his friend where he proposed. The young lady screamed out, and after a good deal of opposition, the prisoner consented to his friend, taking one of the unoccupied seats pointed out to him by the complainant. The prisoner continued to be very abusive till another passenger was picked up. and to him he pointed out the complainant, saying he was the man who had the control of the omnibus, and who said new and where the passengers were to sit. Com plainant, on remonstrating with him, was assailed with very grass language by the prisoner, who immediately darted at him, seiz,d him violently by the collar, tore up the breast of his top-coat on both sides, and got his hand down his breast, with what intention, whether for the pur pose of stealing his watch or not, complainant could not say. The prisoner next struck him a blow on his nose, and broke his spectacles ; but for tae interposition of the gentlemen, who all gave him their aid, he would have re ceived very serious injury. Mr. Fitzpatrick, the chief clerk of the Court, said he was in the omnibus at the time. After being sworn be confirmed the whole of the complainant's evidence. A more unprovoked and wanton assault he had never seen. The prisoner said be was tipsy at the time the assault was committed, and he was sorry for it. Mr. IlAniawick said, if such conduct were to go un punished, public conveyances might cease running. The feelings of a modest female had been outraged, and a gentleman, because he interfered to protect her, had been brutally assaulted and abused ; and the apology eff.red was that it was the efket of liquor. The prisoner must pay 51., or go for two months to the House of Correction. The money was immediately paid. CLERKENWELL. A tall respectable-looking man, named Macintosh, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Coombe, on the following charge : It appeared, from the statement of a constable of the G division, that on Sunday night, about 12 o'clock, as he was on duty near Penton-grove, he heard a heavy fall, followed almost immediately by groaning, and on pro ceeding in the direction of the sound, he saw a female lying on her back in a court, and the prisoner stlnding over her, holding her arm. When the constable en - quired what was the matter, the prisoner replied, no thing, but upon raisin(' up the woman he found that her leg was fractured, and that she had received such severe injuries that it was necessary to have her removed on a stretcher to the hospital. In reply to the policeman, she said it was the prisoner who had thrown her down and broke her leg. The prisoner said he could not account for the manner in which the female had her hurt, and thought it must have been by accident. Mr. CoomnE ordered the prisoner to be remanded, with an intimation that bail would be taken for his next appearance. Henry Ryan and Joseph Worms, of the respective ages of ten and eleven years, were charged with stealing a sheep's head from the shop of Richard Parsons. The extreme youth of the prisoners appeared to excite a strong feeling of claimisseration in their favour ; but the fact being so conclusive, Mr. COOMBE said he had no other resource than to commit them—young as they were—for trial. They were accordingly committed for trial. SOUTHWARK. William Fitt, a young man, was charged with obtain ing money from Ann Elizabeth Clay, under the pre tence of acting as an attorney, under the following circumstances: — It appeared that the complainant's husband was con victed some time ago, and sentenced to be imprisoned in Brixton gaol. The prisoner subsequently introduced himself to complainant, and said that Mr. James, her husband's solicitor, had behaved in a most scandalous manner, and added, that he (the prisoner) would petition the Secretary of State for her husband's liberation. This was in November last; and he said, that for the purpose of proceeding against Mr. James, he would require 14s. 6d. for a writ. The money was paid to him, and on three subsequent occasions the prisoner called again on the complainant, and succeeded in obtaining money to the amount, in all, of 2/. 12s. for a declaration and other proceedings which he alleged were necessary to adopt, in order to punish Mr. James for the manner in which he had acted on the occasion. When, how ever, inquiries were made, it was ascertained the pri soner had not commenced the proceedings, or had drawn up the petition to Government regarding her husband's release, but bad converted the money advanced to his own purposes. The prisoner, who assumes to be a solicitor, was con victed some time since at the Surrey sessions for ob taining money under false pretences, and had only been out of gaol about a month, when he commenced his old practices. As the prisoner asked for a remand, in order to have legal advice, he was accordingly remanded until Wed nesday. THE MALT.TAX.—A very serious mis-statement has gone forth to the public, through the medium of the Times newspaper, as to the course lately taken on the subject of the malt-tax by the Society for the Protection of Agriculture and British Industry. The version of the limes declares that, at a meeting of the committee on Tuesday last, "it was unanimously resolved that the Protectionist party should be called upon to demand the total and immediate repeal (of the malt duty)." This announcement is at total variance with the fact. The committee, having had the question brought before them by a deputation from one of the provincial Protection So cieties, came to a resolution that instructions should be given to the secretary to address a circular to the various ocal • • - societies in the following terms:.--" I am directed to state that, at the December meeting of the committee, repeal l cre o - f their r• syesterday, • discussionthh They yo society beg, the fixed ciues therefore,ti o that n o d tf a h ) a , of the country associations wll call meetings of January, rspective societies on that subject, that they will tth(Jeathnreuepary 12) forward to the central society, on or before the 12th of a copy of any resolutions passed at such meet ings, and th at t h e i r c h a i rmen an d v i ce - c h a ir m en be sent up to the central society's committee meeting on that day."

All that has been done was, when the attention of the society was called to the ques tion, to fix a special day f o r the discussion of it, and to summon deputations from the provincial societies on that occasion, with a view to ascertain to a formal man ner the opinions and feelinzs of the agricultural commu nity. We have felt it our duty to make this short state ment of facts, because it is of the greatest importance that no misconception should exist upon a point on which the public mind is at the present moment con siderably excited.—Post. NEWBRIDGE FROMW H ITEHALL TO LAMBETH.—. On Saturday a preliminary meeting of several or the in habitants owning property near, or whose interests will be affected by the establishment of a new bridge, and the removal of old Westminster -bridge, took place at the Bridge Tavern, Westminster -road, when it was re solved to oppose the proposed Bill in Parliament, which was described as destructive to existing and important interests, and as little calculated to benefit the public.

We learn from a correspondent in Ross•shire, that a meeting of a Northern Farm Servants' Association was held for the purpose of taking into consideration the measures attempted relative to the allowance of potatoes (already guaranteed to them) for the current year, when the following resolutions were unanimou-ly ap proved of:- 1. That the meeting think it putting the cart before the horse in the farmers of the North to call meetings of their farmer societies, in order to suggest, recommend, and lay down rules and regulations for converting the guaranteed allowance of potatoes to an equivalent in meal, seeing that, in this transaction, they are the par• ties failing to implement, and, at furthest, have only a right to come and ask us, the farm servants, what we will take to give up " the bond." 2. That although they find that they have the " whip hand " of their masters at the present " bout," they are noway disposed to lay on heavily, believing it to be the want of experience, rather than anything else, that would induce the farmer to propose a boll of meal in i lieu of two bolls of potatoes. In order, therefore, to enable the farmers to judge correctly in this matter, the meeting suggest to them to try the experiment upon themselves for the now current half-year They would then be enabled to state more clearly the amount of food necessary for a working m►n, his wife, and family of five or six children. The meeting here take the liberty to remark, that the farmers in Scotland are proverbially a feeding and experiment race. The horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry, at agricultural meetings, are all in exemplary condition. The meeting admire this spirit of experimental Seeding with respect to the lower animals, as it invariably consists of something added to their daily fare, but they cannot help seeing the discrepancy that prevails when human flesh is the subject of experiment : this, somehow, always tends (even at the present time, when farmers are obtaining such enormous prices for their corn) to the elucidation of the lowest diet that flesh and blood can hang toge ther upon. The farm servants of the north, therefore, as far as they are concerned, discard all experimental feeding of the human species, but they promise to give every facility to others to ride their hobby. in trying the experiment of feeding themselves, their wives, arid children for half-a-year, on four and a-half bolls of meal each family. 3. The meeting have no wish to oblige their masters to purchase potatoes at an extravagant price, on their account, if an equivalent in wholesome food is substi tuted, but they know that a boll of meal is not equiva lent to two bolls of potatoes in the consumption of a family. They know, from experience, that a mixture of food is more healthful and less expensive than living upon a single species. They know that bulky food, like the potato, goes farther in stilling the calls of a hungry family, than the same amount of nutriment in a more concentrated state ; besides, they know that the very waste of the potatoes serves a useful purpose to them in assisting to feed the pigs and poultry ; but more than this, they see that a good part of their family's subsistence will be :rendered null for the want of the potato. What can one make of a salt herring without a potato ? Why, the herring remains a dead letter, and the whole of the family must be on the meal. All these things considered, we, the farm servants of the northern counties, at this meeting assembled, have, after much experience and mature consideration, come to the conclusion, that one boll of oatmeal is only equivalent to one boll and a half et potatoes in the consumption of a family, and we firmly believe that the great bulk of the farmers in the north, if they would think seriously over the matter, would come to the same conclusion. 4. That as this food agreement is a matter entirely between each individal master and his servant, the far mers' societies had better leave it alone. SWINDLING EXTRAORDINARY. POSES PLASTIQUES. This week the inhabitants of " the faithful city" have been delighted by the performances of Professor Coll and Company, who have been exhibiting very attractive living statuary and poses plastiques, at the City and County Library, and finished their exhibitions by the most singular and striking tableau of all at our Police office, yesterday (Thursday) morning. A week or two back a young man presented himself at Mr. Sefton's, printer, Broad street, and stating that he was secretary to Professor Coli, of poses plastiques renown, requested that some bills might be printed, an nouncing the extraordinary things with which they were about to please the people of Worcester; " and," add. d he, in the most straightforward way imaginable, " I am a perfect stranger, and therefore lam hi the habit of leaving a deposit." He put down 10s. on the counter, and said the great Coli himself would pay the remainder. " You musn't be astonished," said he, " at his manner; he will probably come into the shop, take a chair, say you're the printer, I believe,' ask for the bills, put down ell the money, and walk out again without another word. You'll be sure to know him, for he is a tremendous big fellow, quite sufficient to smash both of us if he pleased." With this pleasing intelligence the secretary departed, the bills were printed, and as the bill sticker, our own veritable Quin, pasted them on the walls, gaping crowds read of classical models such as " the Death of Denta tus," and "the Sleeping Beauty," &c. &c.; how Herr l)obelii would recite this and Herr Bradigni spout that, and how Boadicea would address the Ancient Britons as in days of yore—till their mouths watered and their ears tingled again. And what gave it all such an air of ge nuineness and authenticity was a line at the bottom of the placards stating that all bills were to be sent to Mr. Sefton's by Thursday morning at 'ten o'clock. The Monday when these grand performances were to take place arrived, and the company having taken up their abode at Mr. Siinmonds'e, in Mealeheapen-street, the secretary went to honour the various tradesmen of the city with a visit, anti to procure from them the things necessary to their evening's doincs. At Messrs. Hill and Turley's he bought 25 yards of green baize, a quan tity of cambric, cloak lace, binding, &c. &c. The things were to be sent to the City and County Library and the bill to Mr. Sefton's. Some inquiries were made at Mr. Sefton's, and the articles sent. The same thing was done at Messrs. Sidney and Hanson's, and several (Abel places. On the Tuesday, the secretary and Herr Do walked into :dr. Sefton's and narrated how the cur tain would't act on Monday night, and how they hoped to do better in future. and at last how they wanted some fresh bills immediately. As soon as they a ere gone, isfr. Sefton writes the gentleman a note to say that it was not his custom to supply a second lot be ' fore the first was paid for. Down comes the secretary in a trice, and in a rage, too. He had never been served so in his life before. He considered he had been most grossly insulted. Let Mr. Sefton make out his bill in stantly. His purse, and he pulled one out apparently well filled, had enough in it to pay everybody, and fifty or sixty pounds besides. The bill was made out—Mr. Sefton didn't wish to hurt his feelings—the bill was folded up and placed in the pocket along with the pen se—matters were made smoother—the secretary was rather appeased, and finally Mr. Sefton printed another let of bills, with out being paid for either. Soon, however, various tradesmen, with long faces, came to Mr. Sefton, to know something more about the Professor—who was he? where did he come from ?—and, finally, some of them determined to pay him a visit at his rooms that evening. Mr. Hanson accordingly went down just as the large and respectable audience were about to as semble, and demanded his money. The consequence was that the performers were brought to a dead lock. Their last appearance was never made—they desert. d the rooms and fled. Then it was discevered that they had got all their things pecked up, and had ordered a fly to be ready at the door as aeon as the performance was over, to carry them, Heaven knows whither. The Thursday morning would have dawned a blank, and Mr. Sefton would never have been visited by the tremendous bi fellow of peculiar manner. The police, by and by, apprehended the performers at the Mouth of the Nile-, on a charge of stealing a glass and a sheet from Mr. Simmonds s, and the officer set off to Spetchley in quest of the Professor himself. till at length, having kicked his heels about till two o'clock in the morning, peeping into the 'busses, and inspecting all the second classites that were going off, he began to suspect the real truth of the matter, that the Professor was, to use an expres sion of Jeremy Bentham's, a " fictitious entity," that is to say, he had no existence save in the imagination. On Thursday morning the five living statues, the poses plastiques themselves, were brought up. They consisted of three men and two young girls, among whom the secretary figured conspicuously. He who formerly was Mr. Ludoviek, the secretary, was now Mr. Samuel Cole, otherwise Professor Coli himself, it being usual, he said, to adopt aliases in the profession. Herr Dobelli .ap peered as plain Henry Dobell, and llerr Bradigni as Henry Bradley, while the ladies, with high-sounding euphonious appellations, sunk down into ordinary case, din a ar,:/ss de tailed . Ann Price and Mary Ann Roberts. The tailed above, was gone into, and at last the four -subor dinates were discharged, while the active secretary', the embodiment of the Professor, was kept in custody, on the charge of obtaining goods under false pretenc es , and upon which he was committed for trial this morning, monds s, as, though th ey h ad Nothing could be rnade,out _of the charge of dealing the glass from Mr. Sim taken it without leave, it had been returned again.— Worcester Herald. liVnsTbaris x sa•BßlDGE.—On Saturday th e western footpath was a light throughout to the public, b e i ng pro . tect"l by ht wooden palisade, b reast hi gh, in lieu of he • f o rmer stone balustrade ; t h e thoroughfar e f or car riagest is still closed, it having been di-covered that the third, or c entre arch from the S urrey shore, w 11 require to be strengthened before it will be safe for vehicles to pass .

EMBEZZLEMENT EXTRAORDINARY IN MANCHESTER. —Manchester has been all but electrified by the ab sconding of a person of the name of Stniih, for zany years the confidential manager for Mr. Shuttleworth, of the Stamp-office. Mr. S., as i s we ll k nown, has had the exclusive sale of a peculiar kind of yarn, the manufacture of the Messrs. St rutt , o f B elper and Derby, but he, since his appointment to the Stamp-office, has, it is under stood, left the f u ll management to Mr. Smith, and who, in addition to his duties to Mr. Shuttleworth, has also acted as a kind of cotton broker for various parties. The exact mode in wh' c h h e h as contr i ve d to i nvo l ve severa l parties is not fully known ; there is no doubt, however, but that he has, in more instances than one, sold the same lot of cotton twice over, obtaining, of course, pay ment in both cases, without handing over the proceeds to Mr. Shuttleworth. Report states that Mr. Shuttle worth will be a considerable sufferer, and also a Mr. Trueman ; and we have heard that the executors of a person deceased have been thus swindled out of a sum i n little short of 1,000/. The amount of his declarations s differently stated, varying from 5,0001. to 10,000/. How he has made away with such sums is at present n.t very clear. It is one of the most extensive cases of embezzle ment that bas occurred in Manchester for a very lorg period. No books of accounts can be found.--Leeds Mercury. MARKET NF‘A'S. --( ESTERDA .) cOrair-EXCECANO E.

Fresh up to-day, the receipts of English Wheat were on a full average scale, and of im proved quality; yet the stands were by no means heavily filled with samples of either red or white. The attendance of buyers, many of whom were short of stock, being large, and the demand for inferior foreign Wheat very extensive for shipment 40 Ireland, the English NVlteat trade was brisk, at an advance on last Monday's quotations, of from 2s to 38 per quarter, and at which nearly the whole of the parcels offered were disposed of. The quantity of free foreign Wheat on show was but moderate. A very large business was doing:in that article, at a rise on last week's prices of from 3s to 4s per. qr. The sale for inferior foreign Wheats in bond on Irish account was very active, upwards of 20,000 quarters having sold at 5s per quarter more money. Wi , h Barley we were but moderately supplied. The Barley trade was very firm, at in most instances an improvement in value of Is per quarter. The sale of Malt—the quantity of which on offer was small —ruled inactive, yet prices were mostly supported. Good sound Oats were in good request, and somewhat dearer. The value of other qualities was readily maintained. Beans, Peas, and Flour moved oft steadily at extreme quotations. CURRENCY PER 431 PERIAL MEASURE Wheat—Esser & Kent, Malt—Chevalier..

This being the day appointed for that purpose (which, ac cording to the arrangements for several past years, almost immediately follows the close of the proceedings in the show-yard at the Bazaar, thus giving the owners if the stock there exhibited and not disposed of an opportunity of bringing their Beasts and Sheep hither for sale), a very large number of buyers and sell ers , as we ll as visitors, from most parts of the United Kingdom, assembled at a very early hour; and nut a little curiosity was manifested by them to ascertain the numbers and quality of the stock brought together. As this could be best ascertained by a comparison with former shows, we shall here make a few observations to elucidate this important matter. On look ing through the supply of Beasts, we were forcibly struck with the numerical strength of the pure Devons, not a few of ehich were of a first-class character, both in symmetry, weight, and fatness. The various points of the breed in question reflected the highest credit upon the breeders, whose exertions, during the present year, to improve that excellent breed of beasts are beyond all praise. That a difference of opinion has existed as to the comparative merits of the Devons and Herefords, we are prepared to admit. They have long had a severe, though by no means profitless, contest for priority of excellence ; yet it behoves us to state, on the present occasion, that the latter breed, although the actual number brought forward was not quite so large as that shown at the corresponding pet iodai 1844 and 1845, excelled the Devons in general quality, and, in some instances, in symmetry. The next breed to which we shall now direct attention is the Short Horns, the supply of which, as might be expected, considering that this market derives the principal portion of its bullock supplies from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and our other northern districts, during the present month. and in which the Short Horns are principally bred, greatly exceeded that of any other. In this particular portion of the show a most wonderful improvement was apparent ; indeed, we may ventute to observe that a filler collection of Short Horns was never witnessed in this or any other market in the kingdom This is a fact highly creditable to the northern graziers. Our readers can, no doubt, recollect that years since this descriceion of stock was not unfrequently shown in a very "staggy" condition ; in (niter words, there was a great defi ciency in their fore-quarters as to symmetry. But, to-day, the Short Horns were much improved in this respect; in fact, we may state that, in some instances, they were nearly equal in quality and ge,leral condition to many of the Herefords and Devons. Considering, therefore, the importance of those great counties, whence the Short Horns are principally derived, the immense numbers annually sent to this market, and, more over, the absolute necessity of keeping pace with our in creasing wants, we conceive those who graze in the north have made very rapid strides towards perfection in their stock. We have now treated of what we conceive to be the three greatest breeds in this country, shown here at this season ; but there are others deserving of more than a passing commentary from us ; though, from the present time being that during which the arrivals from the eastern districts are always small, compared with the summer months, we are not in a position to generalise our remarks upon the Scots and Homebreds grazed in Norfolk and Suffolk. Still, however, those brought forward this morning were of a character which confirms us in the opinion that they have lost none of their well-known excellence. On the contrary, the show in this respect was unusually good, and ,as such, well merited the marked encomiums of all present. As to the animals received from Scotland—the number of which somewhat exceeded that of last year—we may observe they were in first-rate condition, consequently commanded our extreme prices. But we must not forget to notice another im portant breed, we mean the Welsh Runts. These were in strong force, and of quality seldom, or never equalled. Again, there were some exceedingly good old Sussex Beasts exhibited, and our i only regret was that their number was not equal to their m portance as a class. From the midland counties large droves of Beasts, miginaily imported from Ireland in a lean state, were on oiler in good condition ; but their weight of meat was in no way adequate to their size. With Noah Dennis and other breed, as well as with fattened Cons, the market was well supplied. Having now detailed the quality and ronditien of the various breeds of Beasts, we may state ge,::erally that the show of Beasts to-day, taken as a whole, lies been seldom equalled, yet at the lame time we may ob serve there was a falling off in the number of the prize ani mals broright forward. As illustrative of the foregoing ob serrations, as to supply and value, we here give the tulloe ing statement of the numbers exhibited on the "great day" during the last years, and the quotations at which they were disposed of : YEARS.

We regret, however, to state that Sir Charles Knightley was not an exhibitor on this occasion, be having disposed of his beasts at Fawsley in the preceding week. Another most intere , ting portion of the show was the exhibition of Sheep. At the correspond ing period in 1845 the supply in this particular was market alq good, but that of to day was unprecedentedly prime as to quality, the weight exceeding anything we ever before wit nessed. We have now to consider the all-important question of trade. Owing to the prevailing fine and seasonable weather, and the large attendance of both town and country buyers, the demand for all breeds of beasts was steady, though we cannot call it very active, and the primest De von% Herefords, and Scots were mostly disposed of, at price, varying from 4s 2d to 4s 6d per Sibs, at which, considering the immense number brought forwar d, a fair clearance w a s effected. As there were very few inferior beasts in the market, we have considerably enhanced our lowest figures. The droves from the northern districts comprised about 2,500 . e re Short Horns, while, from from the wester n and midland coun ties 2,0t)0 Herefords, Ru nts, Devons, &C., came, to hand , and the eifvreon,()ther parts a England 500 of variou s kinds were received,remainder of the supply bein g chiefly composed of Scots from Scotla nd and the beas ts derived from abro'itl.

Lord Chief Justice Wilde and a special jury were engaged the whole day in the trial of an action for an alleged illegal distraint under a fiat, of bankruptcy. The case, which was of no interest except to the parties con cerned, was not concluded at the rising of the Court. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. The second session of the present mayoralty was opened yesterday morning. Mr. Samuel Taufor, of 2, George-court, Drury-lane, printer of the Patents Journal, was indicted for the publication of a libel on Mr. Vincent Price, late the secretary of the London Mechanics' Benefit Institution, ascribing to him motives of personal interest in the establishment of the society, and describing him as unfit from ignorance for the situation which he held. Mr. Ilorry was retained for the prosecution, and Mr. Robinson for the defendant. Mr. Thomas Henry Smith, of Rider's-court, Leicester square, an ivory turner, stated that he was a member of the committee of the London Mechanics' Benefit Insti tution, and testified his belief that the description which appeared in the report that emanated from Mr. Taylor's printing-office could only refer to the founder, Mr. Price, and no one else. To Ltr. Robinson's cross examination, he replied that he was a member of the committee, but that several secessions had been made from the society since his installation in office, so that the committee could not be identified. George Henry Brankes, a member of the committee, said that, though constant in his attendance, there were three or four members that he hag never met with. The policeman proved the identity of Mr. Taylor as the printer of the libel. The publication of the alleged libel having been proved, Mr Ronnisox submitted that Mr. Price had neither !proved that he was the secretary of the society, nor that the society itself was a legal society. To make it the !cater, it ought to have been registered under 7th and Bth Victoria, c. 110, s. 2. ; but this objection being overruled by the Judge, Mr. Robinson addressed the jury for the defence. He was prepared to prove that the libel was inserted in the journal, if libel it was, with out any countenance, or even partisanship, or the de fendant. This was a sufficient defence both in law and equity ; but there was a further proof in the readiness of the defendant to give every information that could be desired by the prosecutor, so as to enable him to get at the real author. Mr. Taylor had printed only two or three numbers of this journal, and could not possibly have either interest or motive to prejudice the character of the prosecutor. He then called Geot ge Wilson Bartlett, clerk to Mr. Warnford, tht: prosecutor's attorney, who proved that he had called upon Mr. Taylor, at the instance of Mr. Price, to complain of the libel, when the former stated that he was quite ready to give up the name of the author, but must first have an interview with him. At a subsequent meeting- with Mr. Warnford, on the 3d of saitober, in fioNorn, Mr. Taylor had expressly stated who was the author, and that two persons in his employment could prove the hand writing of that gentleman, as exhibited in the copy of the libel. Thomas Payne, a compositor in the employment of Mr. Taylor, who had been employed on this j+•urnal, proved that the copy came into the office on a Wednes day evening, when Mr. Taylor was away from home. Mr. Simpson, the overseer fur Mr. Taylor, confirmed the evidence of the last witness. Mr. Holm- replied. • - • The COMMISSIONER summed up, stating that the jury must be clearly satisfied that there was a mischievous intention in the defendant, as also that he was the actual printer and publisher, before they could convict. After a short consultation the jury returned a verdict of Not guilty. Johnßroon, William Reynolds, and Robert Rose, were jointly indicted for a conspiracy to defraud Thomas Stiff of 45L, by means of false pretences. The two first named defendants were surrendered, Rose did not ap pear to take his trial. Mr. Ballantine prosecuted ; Mr. Clarkson defended Brown, and Mr. Parry - appeared for Reynolds. From the evidence adduced in support of the charge, it appeared that the prosecutor is a job master in Quebec-mews, Portman-square, and on the 6th of Octo ber, the defendant Rose went to him and told him that Brown, who is the landlord of the Three Tans public • house, Oxford-street, had a horse in his possession be longing to a gentleman to whom he had advanced a sum of money, and that he was anxious to sell the animal, which he described as being worth eighty guineas, but which he said he could offer for a much smaller sum. The prosecutor accompanied Rose to Brown's house, when a very fine showy animal was brought out and exhibited, but he declined at that time to enter into any negotia tion for the purchase of it, expressing a wish to see the gentleman to whom it belonged, or, at all events, to be satisfied that Brown had his authority to dispose of it. A few days after this, Rose again called upon him, and said they had got the gentleman's authority ; and upon the prosecutor's going to Brown's public-house, that de fendant showed him a letter, signed G. A. Smith, which authorised Brown to sell the horse ; and upon this the prosecutor consented to give 451. for the animal, which was then sent t;) his stables, and he very speedily dis covered that it was a regular " screw," being a r )arer, and badly broken winded ; in:fact, perfectly useless ex cept as a means of fraud, for which, however, its showy and grand appearance rendered it peculiarly applicable ; and it appeared that only a few days before the present prosecutor was bit, a gentleman in Finsbury-circus had purchased the same ani mal for thirty gu i neas f rom B rown, and upon discovering its worthlessness, he sold it to him back the same day for 20/., resolving to lose the difference. The only evidence against the defendant Reynolds appeared to be that he had written the petitioner's letter in the name of G. A. Smith, but this fact was not clearly esta blished. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Brown, and acquitted the other defendant. A number of respectable witnesses were then exa mined to show that Brown had borne a good character previous to this transaction. Mr. But.r.ocx sentenced him to be imprisoned for six calendar months. The indictment found at the last sessions against seve ral individuals for havicg illegally trafficked in the sale of cadetships, has been removed by certiorari from this Court to the Queen's Bench. WINTER ASSIZES. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Dec. 11. (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) ROBBERY AT WARRINGTON. Samuel Bell, 31, was indicted for having, on the 19th August last, feloniously broken into and entered the warehouse of John 'Tickle, at Warrington, and stolen a large quantity of tea, to bacco, and other articles, his property. Mr. POLLOCK stated the case to the jury. On the morning of the 19th August the warehouse of the pro secutor was entered, and a large quantity of grocery stolen, under circumstances that showed that several persons had been concerned in the robbery, and that they must have had a horse and cart. The evidence against the prisoner was, that he was seen in a spring cart of a peculiar description, at Warrington, on the night of the robbery, and it - was discovered that the cart came from Liverpool, and had been hired under pre tence that he wanted it to fetch a c h est of drawers from a place called Kirby, and the prisoner was traced to and from Warrington on the night in question. Upon the prisoner's cellar being searched, a tea chest belonging to Mr. Tickle was found, and it was proved that the pri soner and another man had sold a quantity of tobacco, similar in quality to that stolen from Mr. Tickle. A long written document was read, purporting to be a confession by the prisoner, in which he stated that he was engaged by two men at Liverpool to go to Warring ton, and that they brought back a quantity of tea and other articles, which the other men took away. Mr. ATHERTON addressed the jury for the prisoner, contending that the prisoner had nothing to do with the robbery, and that he had merely been hired by the other men, in the ordinary course of his business as a porter. The prisoner was found Guilty, and His LORDSHIP sentenced him to seven years' trans portation. CHARGE OF BIGAMY. —James Chadwick (not in the calenthr) was indicted for having, at Manchester, on the 23,1 of March, in the present year, intermarried with Eliza Bnstock, his former wife, Ann Chadwick, formerly Ann Fisher, being alive. Mr. T. C. Foster appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Monk for the prisoner. The facts of the case were as follows:—Some years ago the prisoner married a female named Hannah Fisher, who died. In the month of September in last year, he married Ann Fisher, the sister of his de ceased wife, with whom he lived only a short time, WOOL. The public sales of Wool having been concluded, we may state that their result has come up to the expectations of the broker and others—a full average quantity having found buyers, at full prices. The imports since our last, have been very trifling. Privately, there is very little business doing in any description, at late rates. BOROUGH HOP MARKET. Full average supplies of all descriptions of Hops are on sale in this market. Generally speaking, the demand is in a very inactive state, yet we can notice no alteration in the quotations. _ _ _ TALLOW. The large delivery has given an increased firmness to the marktt. Several holders now ref use t o se ll , except at higher rates. Town Tallow is 6d lower, but Inciters refuse to sell at the quotation. The St. Petersburgh Tallow is now all arrived, but about 1,200 casks are not included in to-days's stock.
