POTTER, Esq.. w as ca ll e d t o th e c h a i r , w h o , h av i ng e, eeee _- ;taken it, said that th e b es t way o f i ntro d uc i ng th e o bj ect f or a,e_es t ,' se , which they had met would be by calling on Mr. Sidney .rte smith to read the p rospec t us , an d t o exp l a i n t h e principles and nature of the Association. Mr. Selena on coming forward, said, as it was a meet ing necessarily for business, he thought it best to enter upon business at once. There were one or two great social objects which in a state of society highly ad vanced in civilisation, it became most impotent to introduce and cultivate, as far as it was possible. The first was, that in a dense population habits of frugality ought to be formed, and the means and the opportunity given of turning their savings to some important account. The second arose out of the condition of modern society, very • • different as that was from what had existed in ancient times. Civilis ition was not now what it had been in great states. Tn. greatest of these consisted of only one or two cities, with a comparatively small population ; and a single town, in some instances, constituted an empire. But they had a large surrounding territory at the saute time that the popu lation to occupy and cultivate it was but small. Hence t hey head of the distribution uflands which was made to the Itoman se'diers, and of the parcels of territory which were pesssssed by the citizens of Athens. That circumstance aifectee them beneficially. Their having a part of the real property of the country in their possession created in them an interest in the well-being and the prosperity , of the state, and in the protection of the peace and the institutions oft he country. Since those days things were greatly altered--in stead of four or five millions, the subjects of as empire were now become 40 or 50 millions, and instead of possessions land, the vast maj • of the subjects were found those things wh• Idesirable for necessary and most for them. hay . eow the land was monopolisedby n a n small minoritverand the mass of the people had no interest, pro perty, in the soil of the country. — (Great cheering.) It was the necessary consequence of this, that they had proportionably a less interest in the country's well-being and prosperity, in protecting her institutions, or in advancing the civilisation 411111/P and the social happiness of the community, than they would have had under a system more just and equitable, which gave the. subject part in the property to be protected and improved. Lat them take, for instance, France. They fund there, eirevious to the first revolution, the land mo nopolised' by a very few—the nobles in uncontrolled posses sion of the whole—the people without any interest in the institutions of the country, and with nothing to protect— and they found that the revolution which followed was one of the bloodiest which ever desolated any country. The cause of the-clignicteeof that revolution was discovernst to be that the, people had no property at stake. The first thine they did was to abolish the laws of primogeniture and entail.—(Cheers.) What had been the effect of that? In the course of forty years the land in France, from being possessed by three hundred thousand, passed into the hands of from five to six millions; there was hardly a father of a family there without a property in acres. The second revolution showed the effect of those e altered circumstances on the popular mind. Property was then respected, human life was sacred, not a drop of blood was spilt, the judges never stopped from giving their awards, no effect was produced on the country except the change in the dynasty, by which the whole was conducted.— (Cheers.) This exhibits to demonstration the advantages issuing from the people having a property in the soil. England is beheld France.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") John Bull had a very bad custom of despising " Johnnie Macraw"—(Laughter)—as he called the Frenchman, but he had to learn from him a sound lesson. Out of thirty-four millions of inhabitants, there were six millions of proprietors, who tilled the land with their own hands, and ate the bread of industry; and who, while they were concerned in providing for the comfort of their fami lies, felt themsetves bound up with the best inte rests of society at large. The contrast which Britain presented to what was broad and striking. There were 216,000 inhabitants to the square mile, and in souse cases one proprietor owned the whole county.—(Hear, hear.) Indeed forty-nine fiftieths of the people were without pro perty in the soil, and therefore without interest in the pro tection of the country. Yet, this being the case, such was the law, as that had been elected by the Reform Bill even, that there could be influence possessed over the representation, or the education, or the legislation of the country, but by the possession of so many bricks.— (Shaine.) By the means which the Association proposed to tine, they hoped to make a great increase in the electoral votes, such an increase in the borough and county votes as would sweep altogether the aristocracy from the tece of the country.—(flear, hear.) They could not promise to the public the abolition of the laws of promo geniture or entail, but the Association offers results perhaps equally good, and by means which he would proceed to ex peel,. Ile said, seine might be astonished, when first they meellle.l with property, to hear that a house might be gut at a fifteen years' purchase ; and others might say that that would be no great advan tage, unle , s a tenant could be insured; eor if the . putchaee were of laud they could turn up the s oil and make aometlid gofit in the atise .ce of a tenant. The way to in sure a tenancy was fur every one to become his own tenant, besides the gins tilvantage escaped of paying an exurbitaiit rent to another landlord. Why, a man went un paying at the rate of 201. a year, which would amount to 2 )01. a year, and af er that time he must go on still pa} ing the same amount of rent a - ellear, hear)—whereas he meant to propose a scheme by which the man might pay the 2001. down at once, and the ! house would become his own, leaving him to pay back the ' sum borrowed in any way which would be as easy as paying the rent he was wont to give to the landlord. He cntl•ssed he was sceptical of the trustworthiness of the system which proposed this, when it was first mentioned to him, bas., after subjecting the whale to the most vigorous test of arithmetic, and having had the teetimony of others in favour of it, who with experience jeiried acumen, he was satisfied that it was a Workable scheme, which might be safely commended to the public. After some further remarks, Mr. Smith said there had been delivered that day in the Common Pleas a very re markable judgment intimately affecting the course of the League,—(Loud cries of " Hear hear.") It bore up on the Splitting Act, an Act under which it was contended that the splitting of property into 4es. freeholds, in order to give a vote, was il.egal. There was some fear that the League might after all be out-generalled. In delivering his judgm en t, Chi e f Justice Tindal declared that the course pursued by the League was perfectly legal—(Great cheering)—that he con ceived that course in accordance with the Reform Bill, which intended that the franchise should be extended as fares possible to the people, and that he could not conceive anything more commendable than the purchase of property in order to have a voice in the affairs of the country.—(Cheers.) Mr. Smith said that the calculation on which the Association was foanded was, that by the end of ten, or say at the out-ide twelve years, every person paying 10s. per month would realise 1e01.—( Hear, hear.) Many aught be able to do so out of the odd sixpences which they spent no one knew how. The inducement offered by the Association to lenders, as those might be called, was beyond that held out by savings' banks, which only gave 3 1-3 per cent., they gave five per cent. As to borrowers, he said on e ad vantage offered was, that the sum might be paid back by small icstalments. If a man wished to borrow 60!., he might take a share for 60/. ; lie would, in that case, pay ten shillings a mouth towards liqui dating the principal, and four shillings additional fur interest. After mentioning these particulars, Mr. Smite proceeded to speak on the advantages which were thus offered, and espe cially to those who wished to benefit their country by the riddance of great evils. He then resumed his seat amid great sheeting. 'The Citemereet begged just to say, before calling tin Mr. Thompson, that in societies analogous to the Free-trade Investment Association, such as friendly societies, Odd Fellows' clubs, &c., there was great uncertainty whether their affairs were in trustworthy WHITEHALL, DEC. 24, The Right lion.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHAINCERY, Jan. 30. The Lord Chancellor took lunatic petitions to day. IN THE CASE OF THE COUNTESS OF STAIR, A LUNATIC. In this case the LORD CHANCELLOR, On the applies• Lion of counsel, appointed Thursday next, at two o'clock, at his house in George-street, Hanover-square, to see the physicians, and hear their opinion of the state of mind at the present moment of the Countess of Stair. Our readers will recollect that a short time since the case came before the Court upon the petition of Lady Stair for the superseding of the commission, and the matter was ordered to stand over in order that his Lordship might see the physicians and the lady herself. IN THE MATTER OF DYCE SOMBRE, A LUNATIC. Mr. SHADWELL stated that he was instructed in the case on behalf of Mr. Dyce Sombre, who had presented a petition praying that the commission that had been issued against him might be superseded, to ii!lf of his Lordship to appoint an early dsy to hear the petition. The LORD CHANCELLOR inquired whether Mr. Dyce Sombre had come within the jurisdiction of the Court? MR. SIADWELL •aid that he had not. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Then I shall not advanoe the petition. From the nature of the case, you should have given notice to the other side of your application. The committee ought to have had notice. Thus the matter rests at present, and the petition will come on before the Court in the usual course. The remainder of the morning wus occupied wi.h hearing lunatic petitions of no gent-ral interest. ROLES C(11 IR l, Jan. 30. His Lord-hip sat at ten o'cl•,ck, and resumed the hear. ing of short causes. VICE-CHAIN CELLOR'S COURT, Jan. 30. The Vice-Chancellor of England was occupied the whole morning with unopposed petiti4.ns and short causes. (Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRADI.) His Honour heard several unopposed petitions and short causes to-day, but there was nothing of public in ter'•st. His Honour Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce did not sit to-day. COUI?7' OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 29. (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. GREGORY. This was an indictment against the defendant, for a libel on the Duke of Brunswick, importing, among other thing-, that he had murdered Eliza Grimwood. The jury tad con victed the defendant. Mr. COCKBURN now moved for a new trial, first on the ground of the improper reception of evidence, and secondly, on that of misdirection. The evidence improperly admitted was the inquisition on Eliza Grimwood. As to the objec tion on that point, there was a case in East's Pleas of the Crown, which showed that an inquisition ought to be taken on parchment, and not on paper, and the inquisition on Eliza Grimwood having been taken on paper, was rot a valid inquisition, and ought not, therefore, to have been received in evidence in this case. This objection was confirmed by the 6th and 7th of Victoria, which was passed to ob viate objections of a formal nature to inquisitions ; and among the instances the re ment i oned as those in which the defect would vitiate the inquisition, was that of its being taken on paper. If this objection was valid, then the paper inquisition, being an invalid instrument, ought not to have been admitted in evidence. It was not admissible on another ground, ' vilely, that it was a proceeding between other persons than those concerned in this indictment, and therefore could not be evidence for or against either of them. The other point was, that the prosecutor was described as Charles Frederick Augustus William Duke of Brunswick and Luneburg. This was a wrong description; the prosecutor was no longer Duke of Brunswick. lie was not, there fore, entitled to be so called. But even if that was his proper description abroad, he ought here to be described as an esquire. In Lord Coke's "Institute" it was stated that the description of rank and title of a party to an indictment should be truly stated, and if the parties were noblemen of foreign countries, they were to be described as arnsigeri, un less they were knights. The prosecutor was not a reigning sovereign, and theref,,re ought, in our courts, to have been described as an esquire. He quoted several authorities in support of this proposition, and contended that this descrip tion of the, prosecutor being bad, the i n di c t ment cou l d nut be sustained. Lord DENMAN—I think that in this case there ought not to be any rule. The indictment states what is certainly quite unnecessary ; it states as a distinct fact that there was a murder committed on the body of Eliza Grimwood, and then it goes on to allege that an inquisition was held upon the body, and a verdict of murder by some person unknown was pronounced It is quite immaterial whether this was so or not. The real question is, whether the libel spoke of her as a person who had been murdered. Notwithstanding.this unnecessary allegation, and the proof unnecessarily offered upon this point, I think it was quite sufficient to show that there was an inquisition held on the body of a murdered person, called by the name of Eliza Grimwood. Mr. Carter, the coroner, proved that he held the inquisition. He pro duced a paper, which would not be admissible as an in quisition taken by him in order to found other pro ceedings upon it, but which was perfectly admissible to show that at the inquisition held under him he had noted down what had occurred; so that supposing it had been necessary to prove the allegation on the indictment, that there had been such an inquisition, the evidence of Mr. Carter would have been sufficient to establish that fact. The paper thus produced was not made the foundation of any other proceeding, but was a mere mode of identifying the persons and the names mentioned at the inquest; so that the ob jection raised to the admissibility of the paper does not apply here. With respect to the other part of the objection, I was much struck by the objection when made at the trial. Lord Coke's authority goes a great way to show that the descrip tion here given was an improper description ; for, from his Institute it appears that foreign titles cannot be noticed in English courts, and the safer way would have been to call the prosecutor by his name, and to add the title or desig nation Esquire or Armiger. I own I was at first disposed to think, that though this was merely a technical objec tion, it ought to be further discussed; and I should there fore have thought we ought to grant a rule, had it not been for the case of the King v. Sully, which occurred in 1799. The prisoner there was indicted for stealing cer tain articles, the property of Selina Victoire Baroness Turkheim ; and the prosecutrix said that that was her title, and not part of her proper name, and that she was re puted to possess, and did possess that title, in right of an estate she had received from her father. The Court said, that all that the law required was certainty . ' to a common in tent, and, therefore, held her description in the indictment sufficient. There the mere title of the party appeared, and yet the Court held that that was sufficient, for she was con stantly known by the title given her in the indictment. The same circumstances exist here. The prosecutor is not a reigning prince, and there is another person who is the reign ing prince, still he is constantly known by this description, and the case I have referred to seems to me a direct autho rity for saying that he has properly described himself in this indictment. I am, therefore, of opinion that there ought to be be no rule. o u m ff e e r e u d p t for r elapse ug m w hteoe i n t h t a o ay u da tnbndteohftoteirhi before dnetfohettineimcdeeecnohttuoer iieannpdga now prepare w a t h l The other Judges concurred.—The rule was refused. t Mr. COCKBURN then applied for the postponement of the case on the ground that the whole of the last term had been s to be brought up for judgment having only been given on 'vriutMsesdr.haSeYergewveieasnhnientdgTALFOUnD (Mr. Wordsworth was with him) mitigationieda ffi o received n d a t o i o punishment. did not oppose the application if the Court thought it proper.

The Souclrou-GE3TErtm, moved for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, directed to the Lord Bishop of Chester, commanding hi m to restore to a Mr. Travis two pews, or sittings, in the parish church of Black j& y. He stated that the present application arose put of TkiE___SyN,_ _LONDON, SATURDAY MORN ING. JANUAR 31 . 1846 , some peculiar citcumstances which had lately occurred in the parish of Blackley. The ancestors of Mr. Travis had re sided in Blackley for several centuries, and as long back as the memory could reach with regard to that parish, or as far as documents could go, his ancestors had been in posses sion of two pews, and also a family vault situated under these pews. About four or Eve years since it xas found necessary, in consequence of the extensive decay which age had produced in the church, to pull it down ani build a new one In its place. The new church was built by subscription, and also with the aid of the Church Commissioners, The Church being completed, the Lord i3ishop of Chester ap pointed a commission of three clergymen to take into con. sideration. the claims of various persons to pews and sittings, and to allot them to such as established a good claim. Mr. Travis appeared before these gentlemen and made his claim i n the proper form ; but nothing occurred at that time which could induce him to suppose that his ap plication would be refused. The gentlemen appointed having made their report to the bishop, Mr. Travis found, to his great surprise, that the bishop had declined to admit his claim. Under these circumstances he was compelled to make the present appli: ation in order to obtain the restitu tion of his right. There was only one authority which he could at present cite, and that was the Act 59th Geo. 111., cap. 134, sec. 40, which provided that all persons who were possessed of sittings or pews in an old church, should, in case of a new church being built, have their pews or sittings in positions as nearly similar as possible to those of the former pews. The title of the present applicant was clearly made out, and therefore applied tbr a mandamus. Mr. Justice WiLuasts—Has he no other remedy? The SoLicrrox - GENEttak—No, my Lore ; if he proceeded in an Ecclesiastical Court it would be objected that the right was a right at common law, and should therefore be decided in another court. A rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue is his only course.—Rule granted. Thames-street, was fined in the full penalty of 1501., for not renewing his S. B. Simmons, of the Rising Stm,Castle-street, Long-acre, was also fined for a similar offence in the penalty of 100/. Henry Gander (place of residence not stated), fined 1001 for a like offence. A considerable number of licensed victuallers were fined in small penalties for similar offences. COURT OF EXCHEQUEB, Jan. 30. (Sittings in Banco.) EX-PARTS THE PA NISH oF BRIDGEWATER. The plaintiff i n this suit, who was the rector of the parish of Bridgewater, claimed certain tithes on lands in hi s parish, which the landowners disputed, and the question was referred to th e Ti t h e C omm i ss i oners, w h o ma d e a n award in favour of the plaintiff, with which the defendants were.dissatisfied, and the rector brought an action at law against them under the Tithe Commu tation Act. He succeeded in his action, and the ord) question now in dispute was, as to who should pay the costs of the action at law. Mr. CROWDER now moved this Court for an order calling on the defendants to pay the costs, as taxed by the proper officer, on the general ground that the losing party in all suits at law ought, and invariably did, pay the costs of the successful party. Mr. M. SMITH opposed the motion, and said that, in oases of this nature, the Court of Exchequer had the discretionary power of ordering or refusing the costs action brought under the Tithe Commutation Act. The CounT ruled that the costs abided the remit of the action, and therefore the defendants ought to pay them. BANKRUPTCY COU to'T, Jan. 29. (Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.) IMPORTANT JUDGMENT.—IN RE THOMPSON, The Learned COMMISSIONER said, this is a case ie which i have a painful duty to perform, that of refusing a certiff sate to an attorney. I did not give my decision at the hear mg, because I wished to examine the proceedings, to see whether there was anything in the general complexion of i - te case which could justify me in taking a more lenient course. I le.ye found nothing. Mr. Thompson took the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act in 1838, and though pressed, he could not venture to state that his estate paid anything in the pound. lie now owes 8541. to unsecured cre di:ors, and 462/. to creditors having some security; his estate on this occasion will just pay one farthing in the pound. During his examination before me, he showed himself utterly regardless of the sacred obligation of an oath. It is not, however, on these general reasons that I found my decision. I found it principally on his conduct to Mr. Pell, of North ampton. Mr. Pell was employed by three clients to sue Thompson for sums which, eith the costs, amounted to 82/. 10s. ; upon which Thompson requested Mr. Pell to enable him to get rid of these demands by advancing him the 821. 10s. on the security of some cottages and property which he alleged he had bought of one Loke. The deeds of con veyance from Loke to him, dated the 21st of August, 1844. were produced, and no other title-deeds, the excuse fer their non-production being that they had been lost or stolen from laike many years before. Mr. Pell required evidence of this; upon which Thompson produced salamis affirmations from Loke and two other persons, stating that the deeds had been stolen, and stating such other facts as were necessary to make out Loke's title. These affirmations were dated the 18th and 21st of September, 1844, arid producing their natural effect, induced Pell to advance the 821. 10s. on the security of a mortgage deed, dated the 17th of October following. Now, on the 7th of October, only ten days before the mortgage was executed, Luke had a tended before the magistrates at iVellingborough to procure their assistance, under a late Act of Parliament, in ejecting one Wyman from part of the Trendies comprised in the mortgage deed Wyman had attended with his solicitor, a Mr. Sharman, of Bed ford, and had shown to the satisfaction of the magis trates that he claimed a right to the property, and the magistrates, of course, had declined to inter fere. Thompson was present, apparently as a specta tor, though, if the deed of the 21st of August were riot a laitious deed, got up for some fraudulent purpose, he, ac ordiug to his own aecount, ought to have been, not a mere spectator, but the principal actor. Mr. Sharman con versed with Thompson after the business was over, arid told him that Luke appeared to be acting under a delusion, for that he had executed a deed to Wyman's grandfather, which he (Sharman) held with the title deeds for a client of his, who claimed as mortgagee under Wyman, and he offered to show Thompson the deeds. Thompson, however, never call d upon Sharman, but ten days after obtained Pell's 82/. 10s. on the security of the property in ques thi, without saying one word to Pell about the claim by Wyman. Thompson, after much fencing with my ques tions, was obliged to admit, not only that he was present and had heard what passed, but that he bad insisted on Luke, an old man almost in his dotage, taking the proceed ings he had bef ore th e magistrates for his (Thompson's) benefit, so that his afterwards obtaining Mr. Pell's money was a plain cheat. It was suggested by his solicitor (Mr. Lawrence) that he had been deceived by Luke. My own belief is that he had never bought the property of Loke at all ; he could produce no evidence of any payment to Luke, and his story and Loke's were utterly inconsistent with each other. I believe that the deed of the 21st of August was fabricated originally to deceive a client of Mr. Pell's; but be that as it may, even if Thompson was originally de ceived, his obtaining the money of Pell on the 17th of October, without disclosing that his title was disputed, was a gross fraud. Under these circumstances, lam compelled to refuse Thompson his certificate altogether. The office of attorney is an offic, unavoidably of great trust and confi dence; and if a solicitor is a dishonest man lie can effect incalculable mischief, and the public have, as I conceive, a right to require that no man once proved in a court of justice to have been guilty of an act of plain dishonesty should be enabled by public authority again to exercise such an office. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (THURSDAY.) GUILDHALL. Messrs. Charles Stuart and Co., milliners, in Herbert street, were summoned before Sir C. Marshall, for using a cart within the City of London on which the christian name and surname, and place of abode of the owner, were not. con spicuously painted on the off side, on the 16th of January inst. Elijah West, a City toll-collector, said the defendants were a firm out of about twenty persons who were evading the City toll, by neglecting to paint their names on the off side of their nondescript vehicles, and thus preventing the col - lectors from ascertaining whether they were persons engaged in trade, and whether their names were to be found on the book of freemen of London. Mr. Stuart said he had no view of the sort. He consi dered be was not driving a vehicle within the description of the Act, but that his chaise was as much exempt from the obligation to have his name and address painted on it as any gentleman's gig or carriage. He paid duty for it as a chaise, and produced his receipt. Sir C. MARSHALL asked, if he used it only for pleasure ? Mr. Stuart replied, he no doubt used it for pleasure some times, and for business at others. It was a neat chaise-cart or chaise, with an extended box behind the seat for holding goods, such as were used by commercial travellers. West said, if a person would offer Government duty for a carriage, calling a waggon a carriage, the money would, no doubt be taken, but that would not make the waggon a carriage. The Act said, that for preventing the misbe haviour of drivers, and for the better discovery of offenders, the owner of every waggon, wain, cart, car, or dray, or other such carriage," that is, carriage used to convey goods, shall, if used within five miles of the Post-office, have painted thereon, &c. Sir C. MARSHALL asked if lie meant to say a gentleman dare not carry goods in his gig or carriage? West said he certainly did not mean to say that. He only meant that the distinction between carriages and carts was whe ther they were used by tradesmen for purposes of business and the carriage of goods, or by other persons for purposes of pleasure. Sir C. MARSHALL said the defendant must feel obliged to the toll-man for the information that he was paying duty for a vehicle not liable to it. He agreed with the complainant, that if it were used to carry goods about the town, and its form indicated that it was used for that purpose, it was a chaise-cart. The complainant said he did not press for a penalty. He only wished the law to be obeyed for the future. The defendant said his chaise was at the door. He would drive it before the window that the alderman might see it. The defendant did so. It appeared to be a traveller's chaise• cart on two wheels, having a box fur the millinery goods be hind the seat, four feet long and equally wide, and above two feet in height. The defendant, promising to have his name painted on it forthwith, was discharged on paying the costs. leLB01?()UGH-STREET. _ . IN RE EVIL]; AND DOUGLAS. The bankrupts in this case carried on business as wholesale woc.llen merchants in Vigo street, Regent-street, and this day was appointed for the choice of assignees. The debts and liabilities during four years' trading amount to between 70,0001, and 80,0004 and the assets were stated to amount to about 30,0001. The debts proved in the course of the day amounted to about 40,0001 _ John Williams, a young man fashionably dressed, de scribed on the police charge-sheet as residine. at No. 17. Grafton-street East, Fitzroy-sqaare, was charged with assaulting Maria Thompson, a young woman of very respectable appearance. Between seven and 4 ight o'clock last evening the de Pendant and two other young men were walking arm-in- Arm along Tottenham-court•road, occupying nearly the whole breadth of the foot-pavement as they passed the complainant, who was with her mother, standing talkiml to a female acquaintance they hal just met. One of the defendant's party struck the complainant over the bonnet with his hand. She instantly turned round, and seeing the defendant walking hastily away, followed him a step or two, and, giving him a push in the back, asked him why he insulted her. The defendant turned round and struck her with his walking-cane across the forehead. She directly called the police and gave him into custody Be was intoxicated at the time. Mr. IlAttuvrtcx asked if the blow was a severe one? The complainant put back her bonnet - , and exhibited a bruised mark across her forehead. She added that she then felt great pain from the blow, and had done sc all night. She had never spoken to the defendant; he was a perfect stranger to her. The defendant said he might have given the com plainant a blow with his cane; he believed he bad done so, but she struck him first. Mr. 11.4aowicK—Nonsensel complaining of a young female like that striking you. Pray in what station o: life are you? Defendant—l am a medical student, at University College Hospital, and I wish to ask you, Sir if' I am struck while walking the public street I'm not to strike again? _ _ The assignees chosen were Mes•rs. Leukin, Griffiths, and Overvuary, all iu the woollen trade, and they accepted the trust. A proof was tendered, upon the part of the North-West Bank, to the amount of 7,000'. on bills of exchange, which was objected to by Mr. Dickens, as solicitor to the assignee, upon the ground that cloth had been deposited with the drawers of the bills. Mr. Commissioner FANE, after reference to several cases. admitted t:.e proof, allowing the assignees to take such steps as they might consider expedient to realise the securities and apply them in discharge of the bills. Mr. Lawrance, of Bucklersbury, appeared as solicitor to the bankrupts, and Mr. Wryghte as accountant. Mr. taiiDwicx—l desire you will not ask me any such silly questions. I should have expected your edu cation, or, without that, your own better feelings as a man, would teach you that you are not to put your strength in competition with or strike a female under any circumstances. You have been guilty of extremely unmanly conduct, and I shall impose a fine of 50s. of you, or 21 days' imprisonment in the House of Correc tion.—The fine was immediately paid. Mr. Charles Cahill, described as a gentleman, appeared to answer a charge made against him by Mrs. M'Donall, for robbing his ready-furnished lodgings of a sheet, a blanket, and some other articles, valued at 255. From Mrs. M•Donall's original statement, it appeared that at the latter end of the year 1844, Mr. Ruthven, M.P., a friend of the accused, took the lodgings for the family of the accused at a stipulated rent. The accused remained with her about ten weeks, during which period so much unplea santness arose between them, that she was obliged to give him notice to quit. The accused left without her cognizance, ar.d on gaining entrance into the apartments, she discovered that, independently of considerable damage to the carpets and furniture, a blanket, sheet, two tumblers, and a German , silver knife and fork were not to be found She made in quiry after the accused, but was unable to meet with him until Tuesday last, when, seeing him in the street, she gave him into custody. Mr. Cahill attempted to show that the charge originated in a refusal on his part to pay 71.105. for allege 4 damage to Mrs. M'Danall's carpet and hearth rug. He said he was re spectably connected, and when in Ireland hell the rank of magistrate, and therefore it was very unlikely he would be guilty of the petty offence laid to his charge. A man named Bingley, who had been left by the accused in the apartments to deliver them up to Mrs. M'Donall, said he did deliver the rooms up, and when Mrs. M'Donall looked over them she made no complaint then of lost pro perty. Mrs. M'Donall said the statement of the accused WAS an invention. If time were allowed, she would produce t n re quisite evidence in support of the charge. Yesterday was the day appointed for further inquiry. Mrs. M'Donall, however, did not make her appearance, and Mr. Cahill, through his solicitor. applied for a remand for a few days, in order to enable him to get certain papers from Ire land, which would completely exculpate him, and show the true character of the charge. Mr. HAttnwicK, however, said, as there was no one in court to press the charge, the accused must be liberated. LAMBETH. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 30. (Before Mr. Commissioner EvAris.) IN RE WITEIN. This insolvent, who carried on business as a plumber. painter, &c , at Ingatestone, came up on his petition for an interim order, and was opposed on the ground that he had not set forth in the schedule the amount of pro perty which could be administered by the Court, a blank being left in in the schedule. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the omission was fatal to the application. Mr. BUCHANAN, the insolvent's attorney, said that there was nob a farthing. The Learned CostsussioNEß—Then it should be so state•l. I will, when persons come up to get rid of their creditors, have all the circumstances sworn to so dis tinctly that perjury can be assigned. Mr. BUCHANAN—I submit that the present mode of making out the schedule is the only proper one. The COMMISSIONER—You may submit what yen like; that is my decision and I will not hear your argument. The insolvent said he could not help it; he had de pended entirely on his attorney, and had been put to four guineas useless expense —The petition was dismissed. Edward Watkins, Frederick, his son, Ann, his wife, and John Hancock, whose previous examinations on a charge of being concerned in the manufacture and sale of a number of bill and receipt stamps have already appeared, were brought before Mr. Norton for final examination. Mr. Huddleston, the barrister, and Mr. Tilsley, the assistant solicitor to the Board of Stamps, appeared for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Ballantine, the barrister, and Mr. Games for the defence. When the case was called on, Mr. Ballantine applied to the magistrate to request that the appearance of Mr. Edward Watkins at the bar, during the investigation of the case, might be dispensed with, as the excitement attendant upon his being so placed might, in his present state of mental as well as bodily affliction, be attended with serious danger to his life. The Learned Gentleman here directed the atten- Lion of the magistrate to the following certificate from Dr. Sutherland and another medical gentleman : " We the undersigned hereby certify that we have visited and personally examined Mr. Edward Watkins, of 122, Vauxhall-walk, and that he is a person of unsound mind. We also certify that imprisonment will have a prejudicial effect upon him in his present state. " A. J. SUTHERLAND, M.D. " MICHAEL L. MASON, M.R.C.S. " January 28." SECONDARIES' COURT, Jan. 30. (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) HUDSON v. GARRARD. The plaintiff in this action is an attorney, and the de. fondant a surgeon. The claim was for 21. 11s. 10d., the amount of a bill of costs. The facts of the case were these :—ln 1844 defendant spoke to a friend named Purnell as to getting in some outstanding debts, and Mr. Purnell recommended him to go to plaintiff. Defendant said he did not mind trying one case, that of Mr. Hibbert. Mr. Purnell, who was in the habit of employing the plaintiff, went to him. and at the time requested plaintiff to write to Mr. Hibb ert . Thi s was d one , a n d pl a i nt i ff c ommunicated the res u lt o f his application to de fendant, who, however, did not make any reply to plaintiff directly, but Mr. Purnell told him writing tG Hibbert wa. no use something else must be done. Mr. Purnell c ou ld not tell what the rep l y was , b ut on go i ng , again to plaintiff, told him to issue a writ, which was done, and defendant and Hibbert afterwards met and came to some arrangement. The plaintiff had never seen defendant, or had any retainer from him, and the question now arose as to whether Mr. Purnell was acting by the express authority of defendant.—Verdict for the plaiLtiff. SM COURT OF EXCISE, Jan. 29. A, (Before U. P. STEPHENSON, Esq., CHARLES ROSS, Esq., and C. J. HARRIES, Esq.) Maria Shephard, of the King and Queen, High-street, Newin g ton, wa, charged with the adulteration of beer by the use of a liquid material and preparation, as a substitute for malt and hops. The information contained six counts, each of which involved a penalty of 200/. After hearing the evidence, Mr. Commissioner Stephenson said it was the opinion of the Court that there was nothing injurious in the articles that had been put into the beer, but as it was con trary to law th ey had no alternative but to give judgment against her. In consequence Of the excellent character given to the defendant by the officers, the Court would miti gate the fine to 51. CAUTION TO EATING-HOUSE KEEPERS.—Job Ford, of 87, Lower Th with retailin g b eer and spiritous l i quors w ith ou t li cense . a mes-street, eath,g-house keeper , was charged There was a second information, to which the defendant pleaded guilty. The COURT gave judgment, and said that as the defendant had been carrying on this illegal trade for nine years, they should ti ne the defendant in the penalty of 251. on the two cases. James lk.st Col , onaan, of ale Beau =INS/eat-W414m0: Mr. Ballantine also called Mr. Mason, who was present, and that gentleman being sworn, expressed it as his opinion that the slightest excitement might produce the most serious effects upon the elder Watkins in his present state; and the learned counsel, under these circumstances, hoped Mr. Norton would not require the personal appear. ance of the accused. Mr. Huddleston observed, that on the part of the prose cution he had no wish to press for the appearance of the ac cused ; nor did he o bj ec t to hi s being liberated on such bail as his orship should deem necessary, to appear at the Old Bailey. With respect to the prisoner, Frederick Watkins, it was not his wish to offer any evidence against him ; and as regarded Hancock, he was not prepared with any further evidence against that prisoner at present, and should be sa tisfied with his giving bail to appear at the Old Bailey, and answer any charge the Solicitor of Stamps might think proper to prefer against him ; and finally, he should call for the commitment of Mrs. Watkins and her husband to take their trial at the ensuing Old Bailey sessions, on the evidence already adduced. The evidence of the different witnesses was taken in its regular form by the chief clerk against Watkins and his wife, and the latter was fully committed to Newgate. Wat kins was subsequently led into the Court to have his recog nizances in 2,0001., and two sureties in 1,0001. each taken, and his appearance was such that it is very doubtful whe ther he will survive his trial. Application was made by Mr. Games, and any amount offered to bail out Mrs. Watkins, but Mr. Norton declined to accept it. JUVENILE OFFENDERS. On Thursday, at the Middlesex Sessions, Mr. Pownall, he Chairman of the Justices, directed their special at tention to a memorial from the Philanthropic Society, submitting propositions on their part for the considera tion of the magistracy, relative to the reception of j uve nile criminals upon their discharge from prison. lie (the Chairman) said that the subject was of considerable importance ; but he feared the Court had no power to interfere. It was, however, extremely desirable that the document should receive publicity, as something should be done by the Legislature, and that without delay, to remedy the evil so generally and justly deprecated.

This Court will, on Monday the 23d day of February next, hold a sitting, and will proceed to give judgment in certain of the matters standing over for the consideration of the Court. N. C. TINDAL. WHITEHALL, DEC. 24, 1845. The Right Honorourable Sir Nicolas Conyngham Tindal, Knt., Lord Chief Justice of her Majesty's Court of Common Pleas, has appointed Thomas Llewellyn, of Tunstall, in the county of Stafford, Gent., to be one of the Perpetual Com missioners for taking the acknowledgments of deeds to be executed by married women, under the Act passed for the abolition of fines and recoveries, and for the substitution of more simple modes of assurance, in and for the county of Stafford. ments—the one a probetionlry war:l. in whieh boy-; receiv,A into the institution are placed fo:. same month after their admission; the other, 3 larger ,me—a inane( • factory, into which the boys are from time to time trans ferred, and in which they are taught some useful branch of industry, in addition to being instructed in religious and useful knowledge. The whole institution is super intended by a clergyman of the Church of England, who is directed to exercise over the inmates a kind and gentle, though at the same time a vigilant msntrol, your memorialists believing that, for the reformation of boys of this neglected and depraved class, the highest moral influence is required, and that such boys can be most effectually reclaimed by an intelligent and extended system of teligi.ais and general education. Your memorialists apprentice out, or otherwise ad vantageously provide for, the boys admitted by them when of proper age and sufficiently improved in charac ter, and continue to watch over them, and to encourage them to persevere in honest and virtuous habits for some time after they are so placed out. " Your memorialists have peculiar facilities for giv ing the boys under their care a full practical acquaint ance with the trades they are instructed in, owing to the large amount of employment furnished for them by the patronage of the friends of the society. " Your memorialists have satisfactory proof of the efficiency of their moral and industrial training in the readiness with which boys have been received from the institution by respectable masters in all parts of the me tropolis. " 1 he buildings of the institution could accommodate, and the offices required for the management and in struction of its inmates, would suffice for the education and control of at least 150 boys, and could be made avail able for a still larger number, hut thst your memorialists are not able to maintain at present, from the unassisted resources of the charity, mere than sixty. "Your memorialists therefore respectfully ask you to consider whether any means could be found by the ma gistracy of the county of Middlesex to make the institu tion more extensively useful fir the reformation of of fenders, by placing in it, at a moderate rate of payment, a considerable number of the male juveniles who are now left•destitute on their discharge from the prisons and houses of correction for the county, and who in many cases are almost compelled, by their loss of character, their friendless condition, and their ignorance of any useful trade, to resort again to dishonest pract'ots for their support. " Yotir memorialists, being only anxious to employ the society's useful agency to its full extent, would readily receive into its establishment," and train, and finally ap prentice, or place out, boys of this description, at the charge only of the expenses of their board and clothing (which would amount to about 161. per annum for each boy). "Such boys, at the time of their conviction not being more than 14 years of age, and in case of means being found by subscririon or otherwise for placing any con siderable number of objects on such terms in the institu tion, your memorial; is would readily associate with themselves in the management of the society one or more members of the magistracy, should such an ar rangement be proposed or wished for. (Signed) " C. A. DODD, Secretary." MEETING of MIDDLESEX MAGIS TRATES—REFORMATION of JUVENILE OF FEN D E RS. On Thursday was the adjourned day, which was especially appointed on the last county day, for the transaction of the arrear of business standing over since that meeting; but in consequence of the absence of one magistrate at the expira tion of time limited by the standing order for forming a Court, it was again adj urned. Shortly atter the adjournment a great number of justices entered the Court, and the Chairman (Mr. Pownall) directed their attention to the following memorial from the Philan thropic Society, relative to the treatment of juvenile offenders on their discharge from prison. He said that it was a sub ject of great importance, but he feared the Court could not interfere in the matter. It was, however, desirable that the document should receive publicity, as something should be done by the Legislature to remedy jtn evil so generally, and justly deprecated. " Memorial of the Philanthropic Society, St. George's-fields; established 1788, and incorporated 1806, for the reforma tion of juvenile offenders, and the industrial education of the destitute offspring of convicted felons. "To her Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the county. of Middlesex. "That your memorialists have been lately instructed and empowered by a general meeting of the members and sup porters of the institution which is placed under their manage ment to employ the resources, and direct the endeavo ur s o f the charity in a more especial manner to the reform of male juvenile offenders discharged deetitutefrom prisons. That your memorialists have accordingly caused, for the present, to receive into the Philanthropic, any children of convicts not themselves guilty of crime; and have so re modelled the institution as to render -it, as far as possible, both as to its arrangements and its discipline, an effective school for the reformation and religious industrial education of criminal children. "That the establishment of the Philanthropic, which occupies nearly three acres of ground, the freehold property of the Society, is now divided into two departments; the one as a probationary house, in which the boys received into the institution are placed for some months after their admission; the other, and larger one, a manufactory into which the boys are from time to time transferred, and in which they are taught some useful branch of industry in ad dition to being instructed in religious and useful knowledge. The whole institution is superintended by a clergyman of the Church of England, who is directed to exercise over the in mates a kind and gentle, though at the same time a vigilant control. Your memorialists believing that for the reforma tion of boys of this neglected and depraved class, the highest moral influence is required, and that such boys can be most effectually reclaimed by an intelligent and extended system of religious and general education. " Your memorialists apprentice or otherwise advanta geously provide for the boys admitted by them, when of proper ages and sufficiently improved in character, and con tiuue to watch over them, and to encourage them to perse vere in honest and meritorious habits, for some time after they are placed out. " Your memorialists have peculiar facilities for giving the boys under their care a full practical acquaintance with the trades they are instructed in, owing to the large amount of employment furnished for them by the patronage of the friends of the Society. " Your memorialists have satisfactory proof of the effi ciency of the moral and industrial training, in the readiness with which the boys have been received from the institution by respectable masters in all parts of the metropolis. "The building of the institution could accommodate, and the offices required for the management and instruction or its inmates, would suffice for the education and control of at least 150 boys, and could be made available for a still larger number, but that your memorialists are not able to rnaint4in such at present, from the unassisted resources of the charity, more than 60. " Your memorialists therefore respectfully ask you to con sider whether any means could be found by the magistracy of the county of Middlesex to make the instituton more ex tensively useful for the reformation of offenders, by placing in it, at a moderate rate of payment, a considerable number of the male juvenile criminals who are now left destitute on their discharge from prison, and who, in many cases, are almost compelled by their oss of character—their friendless condition, and their ignorance of any useful trade, to resort again to dishonest practices for their support. " Your memorialists, being only anxious to employ the Society's useful agency to its full extent, would readily re ceive into its establishment, and train, and finally appren tice or place out boys of this description at the charge only of the expense of their home and clothing, which would amount to about 161. per annum for every boy, such boy, at the time of conviction, not being more than fourteen years of ago ; and, in case of means being found, by subscription or otherwise, for placing any considerable number of objects en such terms in the institution, your memorialists would readily associate with themselves in the management of this Society one or more members of the magistracy, should such an arrangement be prepised or wished for. (Signed) " CHARLES A. DODD." MARKET NEWS —(YESTERDAY) C ORN-EXCHAN G E. Our market still continues in a very dull state for all arti cles of grain. Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat have been very limited, yet the demand for it to-day was ex cessively heavy, at almost nominal figures. Free Foreign Wheat was held at full currencies, yet it was only those in actual want who were disposed to do any business, most of the buyers being disposed to wait the result of Monday's sup ply. There was a fair supply of both Norfolk and Suffolk Barley on show. For all kinds the sale was dull, at a re duction in prises of is per quarter. The Malt trade was dull, and the rates had a downward tendency. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were heavy, at barely late rates. ARRIVALS. Barley.
