Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant MunrnY—Ware ham did not say he was mixed up with Maynard. He only said he had some information respecting Garratt and Maynard i n connex i on w ith these robberies. He did not say he lived in Maynard's house, or that he was in timate with that party or Garratt. Davy, an officer of the police at the Pad dington station, was here called to prove the fact of the plaintiff on the day of his apprehension being taken to the station, and kept all right, but on being called three times in Court, he did not appear. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD wished to explain that he understood the witness was ill, and could not attend. He wished this to be known, that it might not be sup posed the company had anything whatever to do with his absence. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD addressed the jury on the behalf of Mr. Prance and Mr. Collard. His defence, as far as Prance was concerned, was, that on the day May nard was taken up, he was at Nether Stoney, in Somer setshire, and could not have been one of the three in the public-house. He was prepared to prove that, and also to prove that the one of the three, supposed to be him, I was another person. Mr. Prance had nothing whatever to do with the conducting of the prosecution against Maynard and Garratt, out of which the apprehension of Wareham had arisen. Those prosecutions were con ducted on behalf of the Great Western Company. The only position in which Mr. Prance stood in the matter, was the fact that he had lost property worth 2,0001., and that he originally entered into negotiations with May nard to recover his writing desk, which ended in the apprehension of the latter, and the matter being taken up by the Great Western Company. After that he had nothing whatever to -do with the proceedings. With reference to the gener'al defence of the two defen dants for which he appeared, the Learned Gentleman called the attention of the jury to the robberies perpe trated by Maynard and Garratt. It had been clearly proved that Garratt was the principal thief; that May nard, though ostensibly a house agent, was extensively engaged in these felonious transactions, and had been convicted for the same. When this was known, and they found Wareham living in the same house with Maynard, mixed up with his transactions, and actually offering to give information respecting the felonious pro ceedings of Garratt and Maynard, did it not furnish a strong presumption that the plaintiff was also connected with them. This view of the question was further sup ported by the fact of Wareham endeavouring to act for Maynard in several suspicious particulars. The Learned gentleman recapitulated the principal facts of the whole proceedings taken preliminary to the apprehension of Maynard and Garratt. He considered it would have been wiser to have taken the plaintiff and his wife at once before a magistrate, so as to be relieved from all responsibility on account of the apprehension; still, under the circumstances, there were strong reasons for justifying the course taken by the defendants. If damages were at all to be given he submitted they should not be more than a farthing. Mr. Sergeant IdURPHY addressed the jury on behalf of Mr. Nash. He admitted that his client was present at the public. house at the apprehension of the plantiff, but contended that he did no more than was absolutely necessary for him to do in the case of a person suspected of felony, which was to keep him in safe custody till the following morning, when he would be taken before the magistrate, and when the charges against him would be fully investigated. Witnesses were then called for the defence. Three witnesses severally deposed that on the day on which the apprehension took place, the defendant Prance was 150 miles distant. George E. Evans, one of the turnkeys of the Giltspur street Compter, gave evidence of interviews that had taken place there between the prisoner Maynard and the plaintiff, accompanied by a person who gave his name as Smith. Wm. Springet, another turnkey, gave evidence to the same effect, and deposed that on the 7th of August Wareham came with a person who called himself Smith, but who turned out afterwards to be Garratt. On that occasion certain proceedings took place at the interview which led witness to suppose that they were connected together, and that they gave addresses which subse quently turned out false. such meetings took place as those entered in the minute books. Mr. JAMES took an objection, in limine, to the exa mination of the company's officers or books in this case. The acts of the directors. were the acts of the company; and Mr. "Wray was one of the directors ; indeed the proposition was " suicidal," for if Mr. Wray, through Mr. Whitmore, the official assignee, svcceeded in proving that the allotment of the shares was fraudulent, he made his own estate liable, for it had been held in a recent case, that if any allotment was made in fraud, the di rectors were liable. It had been urged that the proceedings had been ♦uided through the non-attendance of some of the directors, otherwise the whole object of the Act might be thwarted by the deliberate non-attendance of some of the parties. He had to contend that the act of some of the directors sitting as a board was binding on all. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) LIABILITY TO MAINTAIN A WIFE.—IEFFEREYS V. MAY. This was an action to recover 78/. for necessaries sup plied by the plaintiff to the defendant's wife, namely, board, clothing, and lodging, for a considerable period. The defendant, who is a retired tradesman at Sheffield, denied his liability on the ground that his wife had left him without his consent, and that she had committed adultery, and consequently forfeited all legal claim upon him. They were married in 1826, but had had no children. Mrs. May was a governess before she was married. Mr. May had been previously married, the issue of which was three children. For some time be fore the end of 1842 they had lived unhappily together, they frequently quarrelled, and on these occasions Mr. May often struck his wife. On one occasion he turned her out of doors. In consequence of repeated ill-treat ment on his part she left hint in September, 1842, and took up her abode with the plaintiff, who is a relation, at Bristol, and who, up to the present time, had sup plied her with necessaries. The venue was laid in Bristol, but had been removed into Middlesex in order to obtain a speedy trial. The case had been tried before, but the verdict was not satisfactory to the plaintiff. Mr. CROWDER, QC. (with whom were Mr. Butt, Q.C., and two other Learned Gentlemen), having stated these facts, proceeded to deal with the defence set up by the defendant, and with the law on the subject. No doubt it would be set up on the other side that the de fendant had inserted an advertisement in some of the .newspapers, cautioning persons not to give credit to his wife, as she had left him without his consent ; but this would not avail, as it had been expressly laid down that if a wife was compelled to leave her husband on account of ill treatment, and against his will, that such an act on her part did not remove his liability to furnish her with necessaries. In the case of Harris v. Morris, which was similar to the one before the Court, Lord Kenyon held that where a man sent his wife away from him, and could not prove anything against her which would remove his liability, he was liable to furnish her with the necessaries of life. In that case the wife was turned out of doors, and the defence set up was, that she had eloped, and that her husband had advertised her in the newspapers, and cautioned the public not to trust her. If Mr. May really desired his wife to live with him, and she had left him without his consent, the proper mode to do so was to sue in the Coasistorial Court for a resti tution of conjugal rights, when the whole matter would be investigated. In the case of Emery v. Emery, it was held that if a husband required his wife to return to him and she refused to do so on account of the ill-treatment she had experienced, that the husband did not get rid of his liability. He should show that the conduct of Mr. May to his wife compelled her to leave him ; that he had been bound over to keep the peace towards her ; that after she had left him on account of his personal violence, she offered to return, and went to his house for that purpose, but he pushed her out of doors. Unless adultery could be shown, and that she was not ill treated, and had no ground for leaving her husband, he apprehended that the plaintiff was clearly entitled to a verdict for such a sum as they thought she was justly entitled to for keeping Mrs. May in clothes, board, and lodging. The defendant was in good circumstances, and was well able to support his wife ; 255. per week was spoken of on one occasion, and the plaintiff charged at that rate. Mrs. Mary Wrang, wife of Mr. Wrang, a draper, of Sheffield, examined by Mr. BUTT—She deposed that she knew Mr. and Mrs. May, in consequence of residing in the next house to them in Pond-street, Sheffield. Heard her one day in January, 1842, cry for help from the parlour. Saw her two or three hours after at the kitchen door, when she observed that her face was swollen, and that one of her eyes was very black. Some time after she heard Mrs. May cry " Murder," and call her by name for assistance. Went to the kitchen and found Mr. and Mrs. May quarrelling. Mrs. May was crying; her cap was torn, and her hair hung down her back. Heard Eliza Jones, Mr. May's daughter, who was present, say, " Many a man would have cut you up into pie meat before this for less than you have done." Mr. James May, his son, in coming across the yard of the house, said, "Don't murder the woman.' She did not interfere. They did not live long in the house after that. Sometime after the occurrence in the kitchen Mr. COOKE denied that the insolvent had ever sane tioned the allotment. The Learned COMMISSIONER said, if a co-director, co partner, or co -trustee assented to proceedings, directly or indirectly, he must be bound; but if there had been any fraud committed, he was not, and in equity was entitled to an inquiry. It was now at issue whether there had or had not been fraud, ai.d he was of opinion the examination should go on. As it was to take place in the Court, every one was at liberty to take notes as far as they went, and in any way they wished, but it must be understood no publication of the examination should take place until after the proceedings had concluded, or he would close the doors, which he had the power of doing in that Court. This discussion arose on the question whether the notes should be taken as evidence if perjury was im puted. The examination was proceeding, but, under the cir cumstances, cannot of course be given. MARLBRO' - STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Sarah Brook, and her two sons, Alfred and Samuel, who were remanded last week on a charge of robbing Mr. Deare, a tailor, 1, Leicester-square (the boy Alfred's master), were brought up to-day for re-examination. Several pawnbrokers attended and produced articles which were identified by the prosecutor. None of the pawnbrokers could identify the prisoners except Mr. Syers, Drury-lane, who identified the boy Samuel Brook as having pledged a piece of satin with him. Mr. LONG said there was no case against the mother or the prisoner Samuel Brook. He therefore discharged them, and remanded Alfred Brook till this day week. WORSHIP REET.—(THIS DAY.) George Galloway, a youth, about 17 years of age, an apprentice to a Mr. Wells, was charged with refusing to work, &c. Mr. Herbert Wells, ivory turner, No. 8, Britannia terrace, deposed that the defendant, who was apprenticed to him abaut two years since, had out of that time ab sented himself for the space of five months, and on one occasion witness was obliged to .bring him to this Court for his bad conduct, and he was sent to the treadmill for a month. Latterly, when any work had been given to him, he merely laughed and jeered at witness, and said that witness and the magistrate had done what they could with him, but he cared neither for magistrate nor master ; and rather than work, he would spend the whole of his time in prison. It would be a charity if the magistrate would cancel his indentures. Mr. BINGHAN—Yes, to you it would be a charity no doubt, but not to the rate-payers. You are under a bond to keep him. However, I'll take --- Here the defendant's courage entirely forsook him, and he blubbered out, " I will, indeed I will, do the best I can in future. Mr. BINGHAM—Very well; I will give you one chance more.

On some occasions Wareham ap peared as landlord, and on others Maynard. On most occasions, however, when he called at the house, Mr. Wareham appeared as the managing party. Wit ness recollected Maynard being taken up, and saw Ware ham two days after. He then told witness that " May nard was taken up, poor fellow, and that he did not know whether he was guilty or not ; but that if he was, ther e were many other s als o ." H e ikewise told witness about the writing-desk left in the house by Maynard, which he stated to contain a great deal of property. May nard had told plaintiff to take care of it if anything happened to him, and that when the officers were in the house the plaintiff and Garratt took it away and left it at a public-house. The desk was stated to contain many duplicates and valuable docu ments. He promised witness, who was acting for the proprietor of the house, that he would deliver up what documents he had any claim to, if he gave him some money for them. Witness subsequently was shown a large handful of duplicates, whieh plaintiff said he had taken from the desk, and which he offered for sale. He had some conversation with Wareham the day after he had been taken to the Great Western station. Mrs. Wareham was present. He said " he did not care a Mrs. May came into her house, about eight o'clock at night. She was composed, and said Mr. May had turned her out, and asked permission to stop until Mr. May became less cruel. She remained until ten o'clock, when she left. The next night she heard a disturbance, and found that Mrs. May had brought a policeman, in the hope that his intervention might obtain admission for her to her husband's home. She did not know whether she succeeded in her object that night. She might, however, have obtained admission, as a short time after she left the house and Direct Northern (scrip) 2 0 0 Derby, Stafford, and Worcestershire Great Northern .... South Wales never returned. Cross-examined by Mr. MARTIN—Did not know the came of the policeman, or whether he was in attendance. Mrs. May did not break any windows on the night in question. She left in September, 1842. She had a ser vant part of the time, but she could not recollect her name. Did Rot think she was in the habit of going out MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of December 1.) SUGAR.--To-day although importers of West India Sugar of every kind were desirous to realise, and submitted to a re duction on the rates of Friday, of is for brown, inferior yellow, and grey, and 6d per cwt for the better qualities of yellow and grey, still all kinds were purchased with caution for the scale and pan, the private operations amounting to only 250 hhds and trcs. The parcels offered at public sale were only in part sold at a fall on last week's rates of 6d to ls, the decline being more apparent on the lower sorts. REFINED.—To-day there was only a limited demand for Refined goods from the home trade, and lower rates were taken, that is to say, 61s for brown melting lumps, 62s to 62s 6d for brown grocery, and 63s to 63s 6d for standard lumps. Bonded crushed Sugar was purchased with increased freedom, and prices advanced from 33s to 33s 6d per cwt for first quality. MATIZITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity offered at public sale amounted to 5,437 bags, but little desire was manifested to operate, and a part only sold, although a reduction en former sates of 6d to is per cwt was su b m itted to. at nights, northathersi.ster, Mrs. Wortley, kept a ptihlic- house in Sheffield. Ile-examined—Had known Mrs. May for nine years, and never knew anything against her character. Mr. John Arnold, of Sheffield, deposed that in Sep tember, 1842, the defendant and his wife lived at home, stud that some talk took place in his presence with re spect to Mr. May allowing her some maintenance. Mrs. May said, " Thou knows that it is no use putting thy name to this paper, as thee does not intend to stick to it." He said she might either consent to it or not, as he should not live with her any more, and she consented. She upbraided him withcruelty, and with turning her out of doors almost in a state of nudity. He accused her of leaving him, and of going to places against his consent. The agreement was to allow her 201. a year, and be paid two instalments to him (witness) which he handed to - about it. lie had had plenty to eat and drink, and a half-crown when he lett, and that was more than he would have earned at home." Examined by Mr. Sergeant MURPHY, for Mr. Nash— On one occasion, when speaking to Wareham about the papers in the desk, plaintiff said the property in it was of great value, and that if the officers got hold of the documents it would play the greatest mischief with him. Cross -examined—The property of Dr. Rogers, to whom the house belonged, was furniture, and china and glass ; there were also some duplicates belonging to the doctor. He had told the story he had stated that day over and over again to Mr. Nash. He had been with that gentleman four or fire times. Arthur Spencer said he was a dealer in marine stores in Paddington. Had known Maynard for two years prior to his conviction. Did not know. Wareham till he went to live in Hoyland-street. Maynard had lived in Hoyland-street about four months before his apprehen sion. On several occasions when witness called there be saw Wareham. On one occasion he met with Wareham at the King and Queen public-house, and the latter then stated Maynard was only a lodger, and that the house was his. He had some conversation with Ware ham after Maynard was taken up, and he stated the facts about the writing-desk, and said there was the deuce to pay at home. After Maynard had been examined at the Guildhall witness was told by plaintiff that he had received a letter from Maynard, wishing him to act as his agent and look after his wife and family. Wareham said he would not do anything without money, and that he would not give up the writing case without a sum was paid him. The witness gave the details of other inter views with the plaintiff which went to show that he was intimately mixed up with the proceedings of Maynard and Garratt. The cross-examination did not materially affect the evidence in chief. Joseph Halfpenny, landlord of the Bell public-house, in Tichfield- street, deposed generally to conversations with Wareham about Maynard's affairs, of a similar nature to those referred to by the previous witness. He also gave evidence that Garratt, on one occasion, left a leather portmanteau in his custody till he or Wareham called for it, and that about three week s a ft er t h e p l a i ntiff called and took it away. Mrs. May. Mr. May was a mail of considerable pro perty; he had been in the button trade; he lived re spectably, and like a man of property. By Mr. MARTIN—Knew that he was a man of pro perty from himself. He believed he did not keep a servant, and that his daughter did the household work whilst they lodged with him for about a year. (The case was proceeding when our report left.) EAST INDIA.—This afternoon three - larcels of Bengal Sugar, amounting to 5,201 bags, were brought to public sale; merchants were inclined to realise, and submitted to a reduction on former rates of 6d to is per cwt, but nearly the whole sold. This afternoon, at public sale, 74 puns of new St. Vincent's Molasses were taken in at 225.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) FLANDERS V. SIR It. BIINBITRY. This was a special case, the object of which was.to ascertain whether certain lands in Suffolk were tithe able under the provisions of the Tithe Commutation Act. The arguments were not concluded when the Court rose. EXCHEQUER. -(THIS DAY.) CUSTOMS FRAUDS —THE DIAMOND TRADE—THE ATTORNEY• GENERAL V. ALLEN. This was an information filed by the Attorney-Gene ral against the defendant, for having in his possession a large quantity of diamond rings and other articles of jewellery, alleged to be of foreign manufacture, and upon which the duty had not been paid. The defendant carried on business as a pawnbroker in Clare-street, Clare-market, and the goods in question were seized by the Custom-house officers upon two se parate occasions, in consequence of information given to them by a female servant residing in the house of the defendant. The Attorney-General, Mr. Watson, and Mr. Pearson appeared,on the part of the Crown ; Mr. Montagu Chambers and Mr. Wordsworth for the defendant. On the part of the Crown witnesses were called to prove the seizure of the goods from the house of the de fendant. Several jewellers were also called, who gave it as their opinion that the articles were of a foreign fabric, and got up for the purpose of "rigging" the trade. At the conclusion of the case on the part of the Crown, Mr. M. CHAMBERS addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant, and proceeded to call, Mr. Hickman , working jeweller, of Rawstorne-street, c. C i l L e i r u k h enwell, who proved that he had himself made the also g - i:ve — ev - i=Of th e e - ;;Tre l le r s ia — Viii - ii;eie j n Y m ed ad h e y u l l= the premises of Mr. Hickman. John Davy, an appraiser in Union-street, gave evi dence to the same effect about conversations with Ware ham. On one occasion the plaintiff men ti one d the writing-case, and said Collard and Nash were in search of it, but that he would take very good care of it. llenry Avery, clerk of the Central Criminal Court, produced the convictions of Garratt and Maynard. Mr. Serjeant WILKINS submitted that these convic tions were irrelevant, as they only proved the conviction wail aaa auv, csutl a.vuttl iiv, UC tukcia as proof of the felony as applied to the case of a third party. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD contended they were not irrelevant, and should be taken as evidence of the felony committed. The LORD CHIEF Jusnen - referred to the case of the Irish Society, on behalf of which he appeared before the House of Lords. On that occasion a similar point was raised, and it was decided that such could not be re ceived as evidence against another party. The con victions, therefore, might be received as proof of the fact of the decision of the Court, and for any collateral purpose arising out of that, but not as evidence of the fact that felony was committed by the parties in question. Mr. Vandyke Lawrence, deputy governor of Millbank prison, deposed to Garratt being delivered to him, and to taking him with 199 others to Woolwich. Henry Masterman proved receiving Daniel Garratt on the Bth of December, and placing him on board a convict ship then bound for Bermuda. Mr. Evena, a clerk in the criminal department of the Home-off i c e' put in a return from Bermuda, stating the arrival of Daniel Garratt there. The Clerk of the Court here read a rule which had been obtained, empowering the Master of the Court, or c oG o e m r rmaitsts,i sinceoners , h i i f s that v i w c t e i r e e n not ia p r r e a l c a t t i i c o a n b e t , o t hexamine e proceedings. embracedexaminatione o w f h G o a l r e r a p t r t o w c a e e s d n i h e g x s t r r e e a l d e g e x t t o e n t s h o e , which e stealing of the writing-case.

At auction 400 bags Calcutta were disposed of at 255. 6d for good middling grey rather damp small chystal, 7 per cent refraction. English Refined has been in excellent request, and prices rule Prices are firm for Nitrate of Sodas OILS.—The supply having increased of Southern Oil, and the home trade purchasing all descriptions with caution, whilst there are few export orders, a decline in the value of 15s to 20s per tun has taken place, and holders are evidently inclined to realise, although there is not a large stock here, and the consumption being good. At auction 100 tuns were disposed of, fine quality at 29/ to 291 ss, and good 281 lOs per tun. TALLow.—lmporters of Russian are still desirous to realise, and have submitted to a further reduction ; on the spot, how ever, a large demand has been experienced, but there are sellers of fine Petersburgh yellow candle at 47s 9d to 48s per cwt. For forward delivery very few contracts have been entered into. Town Tallow is in good supply, and there are sellers at 49s to 49s 9d nett cash, although the consumption is diminished. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that after the positive evidence which had been given on the part f the defendant, he should consider it his duty not to Iro3ed any further in the case. He considered, howet er, that there were sufficient grounds for the seizure of the articles, and requested the Lord Chief Baron to cmtify to that effect. His LORDSIZIP took the same view of tI e q iestion, lnd the jury accordingly returned a verciet for the defendant. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) WAREHAM V.

The insolvent had been a director of the Torbay Railway Company, and to-day was appointed for the examination of the secretary and others connected with the company, and the production of books, &c. on behalf of Mr. Whitmore, the official assignee, to investigate the liability of the insolvent as such director. It appeared, that tho railway company had been formed in 1838, but subsequently, the money raised not being sufficient for the proposed scheme, some of the directors allotted other shares, and the questioh now was how far the insolvent, or his estate, was bound by the acts of the other directors. It was alleged that insolvent was not present at the meetings, and :that, in fgot, no THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 1, 1846. THE HIGHLANDS BEFORE THE ERA. OF POTATOES. (From the Inverness Courier). The most correct, and certainly the most lively and interesting account of the Highlands, prior to the re bellion of 1745, is contained in the " Letters from the North of Scotland," understood to be written by Cap tain Burt, an English officer of engineers, who was sent to Inverness in 1726, and resided here for some years as a superintendent or contractor in the formation of the military roads. This gentleman expresses his regret that the potato had not been introduced to the north. Desirous to know the probable period of its introduction and the general condition of the people before it was known amongst them, we have consulted our old towns man, John Maclean, now in his hundredth year. John was a tailor, often employed in town and country, in working for families at sixpence a day ; and the infor mation which, in his youth, he could not fail to acquire, his tenacious memory still retains. Tailors, according to C e harles Lamb's humourous essay on the profession, seldom take that light and cheerful every day-interest in the affairs and goings-on of the world which makes the barber such delightful company. The country tailor, however, must be considered an exception from his sedentary brethern in the town, especially when he was wont to perform his circuit round the country-side, and gather news in hall and cottage. Like most old men, our venerable chronicler thinks the present race has sadly degenerated. The people, he says, lived much better, were healthier, and attained to a greater age in former times than they do now. Sea sons of famine and suffering no doubt sometimes oc curved, and were very severe ; but in ordinary years the people had more command of the necessaries of life, and, in their homely way, were more comfortable and contented. Potatoes, John says, were first planted and raised here about the year 1756, by " William and San ders Dawson, the gardeners." They did well in the orchard grounds, and some of the neighbours (John Maclean's father amongst the rest) began to plant a few. It was long, however, before the potato became general. "We did not plant many," said John; "it was a rare thing to have the last of them for dinner on Christmas day ; and before that only one or two diets of them would be taken in the week. They were mostly kept in a corner of the Muckle hist, and when they were done the people seemed nowise disappointed." The daily food of the common people consisted of oat meal porridge, with milk or beer, for breakfast. For dinner they had sowens (which we may inform our English friends is a sort of pudding, very palatable, made of the fine flour remaining among the seeds of oatmeal) or kail, with bannocks of barley and peasemeal, and sometimes fish. The supper was always formed of porridge and milk. On Sundays there was generally something extra ; butcher-meat was then cheap, and seldom sold by weight as it is now. - The "big pot" with the broth was put on the• fire in good time on Sa turday, as all manner of cooking was strictly avoided on the Sabbath. A bare or black-cock could always be had in winter. Nothing was sent out of the country but the cattle which the drovers took south. Everything was cheap. " How could it be otherwise ' "said John, " when Donald Cameron and his wife, one Friday forenoon, at the market, bought a leg of mutton, a peck of meal, and a cart of peats, all for elevenpence, and to make up the shilling he and the guidwife had a gill of Hollands for the other penny." Salmon was generally plentiful in the season, and could be had at about a penny a-pound. A similar statement is made by Captain Burt, who men tions that he had often seen above a hundred large salmon taken out of the Ness at one haul. He adds— " The meanest servants, who are not at boord-wages, will not make a meal upon salmon if they can get any thing else to eat. I have been told it here, as a very good jest, that a Highland gentleman, who went to London by sea, soon after his landing, passed by a tavern wbere the larder appeared to the street, and operated so strongly upon his appetite that he went in--that there were among other things a rump of beef and some sal mon : of the beef he ordered a steak for himself, ' but," says he, let Duncan have some salmon.' To be short, the cook who attended him humoured the jest, and the master's eating was eightpence, and Duncan's came to almost as many shillings." John Maclean states that little or n 6 whisky was in his early days drank by the townspeople, who preferred good ale, which they bad at threepence the Scotch pint. The usquebaugh would appear, however, to have been common in the country ; for Burt mentions that some of the Highland gentlemen—the tacksmen or duinhe wassals—drank it to excess. Old John recollects dis tinctly the first time that he participated in the luxury of drinking tea. The Magistrates were much against the introduction of tea, as they derived a revenue from the sale of ale in the burgh ; but the forbidden hove rage crept into use among the ladies, and from them descended to the common people. John was invited to a rustic party, at which a number •of women were as sembled. They sat round the ingle, and handed about the tea in a wooden cog, and the " tailor laddie " on the " creepy stool " got his share of the rare drink, though he was far from relishing- it. "It had a wild, harsh taste," he says, " for it was just boiled in a pot, the same as kail or other herbs ; there was no t a k e ttl e in the whole neighbourhood, excepting one that Mrs. Ogil vie had." The towns-people of that day acted strictly on the maxim of " early to bed and early to rise." By nine o'clock in the evening almost every light was extinguished, and they were all at work again by skreigh of day. To the old man's recollection—though in such matters the memory is apt to be treacherous, and to dwell only on the pleasant parts of the picture—the people then bad more kindliness and confidence in their intercourse with each other than is the case at present. Business was mostly transacted and bargains made by " word of mouth," or " thumb to thumb" (touching each other's thumbs; as we see men now shake hands on closing a bargain). He recollects horses and cattle being bought and sold thumb to thumb, and the terms of sale were always faithfully attended to at the appointed time. The one or two lawyers in the'town were but poorly em ployed, and bankers' bills were never thought of by or dinary persons. There was only one baner here, and while he attended to his other business (which he considered more important than the bank matters), his lad was left to act as cashier, teller, and accountant. "Changed times now !" said John ; " but though the folk were poor then, they were' better off than they are now. They were more contented and not so pinched. There were fewer of them, for I knew every man in the town, and their dogs too." It is amusing to contrast John's reminiscences with the de scriptions of Captain Burt. To his English tastes and ideas of comfort, the people here seemed steeped in hope less poverty—idle, dirty, ill-clad, destitute of trade, their houses, furniture, and implements of all kinds of the mo s t wretched sort ; the servants oppressed by the masters, and the lower classes generally not half-fed, and pos sessing neither spirit nor emulation. We are disposed, however, to believe with old John, that at least among the frugal and thrifty of the poor, there was less actual want, eighty or ninety years since, than is now to be found. There was not such a crowd ing and struggling for the bare means of subsistence. Their standard of comfort was humble enough, - but they seldom fell far below it. The natural products of the river, the wood, and the moor, were not so jealously guarded, nor the rights of property so rigidly upheld. The subdivision of labour caused by increasing civilisa tion and refinement of taste, the invention of machinery, and the greatly enhanced value, of land, have cut off many sources of livelihood and support which, in a more rude and primitive state of society with a scantier po pulation were open to all classes. In the country, the condition of the Highland crofter and labourer was always a precarious one. Of course, when clanship was in full vigour, much depended on the character of the chief, who was regarded with Oriental submission, and more than Oriental fidelity and attach ment. The military and predatory spirit was too widely diffused for the successful cultivation of the soil. When the system of clanship declined, and the chief had no amhition for a large " following," the 'tacksman or middleman became of more importance. The Gartmore manuscript, written in 1747, and first published by Sir Walter Scott, describes the state of the Highlands, after the Rebellion, as wretched and disorderly in the ex treme. A creagh, or foraging expedition, was a common occurrence, and black-mail was regularly levied on the borders and low country. There was no employment for the people, and they NI ere driven to desperate courses. The agriculture, the pasturage, the fishery, and all the manufactures in the country could bo suffi ciently managed, this writer states, by one-half of the population : " The poverty of the people is occasioned and conti nued by a custom that is presently in use, and hath long continued in that country, viz., the practice of letting many farms to one man, who again subsets them to a much greater number than they can maintain, and at a much higher rent than they can afford to pay." The rent was often paid in kind or in labour, so that the tacksman had the business of his own farm per formed—his corn reaped and ground, his hay lands cleared, and his fuel prepared, by his sub-tenants, be sides sometimes, from their payments, sitting rent free himself. One paid in money, another was bound to shear a given number of stooks, another to lead seaware, or spread peats, or make hay, while some widow or aged cotter furnished a certain number of hens and eggs. There was room for both good and evil is this system, but it was a bar to agricultural improvement. The tacks man sat easy and had no motive for exertion. He was generally of a good family, allied to the chief, and possessing his confidence. The crofter had enough to do to scrape up a subsistence. His scanty crop of oats or bar ley was often destroyed by frost and mildew, which hung about the undrained lands like a perpetual pestilence. His servitude to the tacksman, or the pursuit of illicit distilla tion, occupied much of his time, and hence the management of his croft frequently devolved on the females of the family. Many of the young men entered the army, and in their native regiments proved as brave soldiers as ever charged an enemy. The people were generally congregated in small towns, or townships, each com posed of a number of tenants who were sometimes bound jointly and severally for the payment of the whole rent of the district.

This was an action of trespass, brought by Thomas Wareham against Mr. Vaughan Prance, Mr. Nash, and Mr. Collard, who had been connected with conducting the prosecutions of Maynard, Garratt, and others last year, for the robberies committed on the Great Western Railway, to recover damages for an alleged false impri sonment. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Foster appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, Mr. Sergeant Murphy, Mr. Sergeant Channel, and Mr. noggins were for the defendants. Mr. Sergeant WILKINs having gone over the particu lars which he intended to prove in evidence, proceeded to call his witnesses. George Gardner Dun, a waiter at the public-house in Foley-street where Thomas Wareham lodged, deposed that on the 20th of August, last year, three persons, answering to the description of the defendants, came to the house, and took Mr. and Mrs. Wareham in a cab. Hannah O'Connell evidenced to the same apprehension on the day in question. Mr. Seymour Clarke, superintendent of the Great Western Company at the Paddington station, said he remembered the plaintiff, Thomas Wareham, calling at the station about the Ist of August last year. Maynard was then in custody in reference to the property lost on the railway. When he called he said he was ac quainted with Garratt, and that he could give some in formation about him. Witness sent him with a messenger to the solicitor of the company. A man called Chilman was sent with the plaintiff to Mr. Nash. Nash was then clerk to Messrs. Maples and Co. Cross-examined by Sergeant TALFOURD—IIe could not state precisely the day referred to, but it was soon after Maynard was taken into custody. He could not state how long after.

Chaplin and Horne, carriers, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having stolen a truss of silk of considerable value. _ _ Mr. Riches, managing clerk to Messrs. Chaplin and Home at the South-Western Railway Terminus, stated that the prisoner had been engaged by him in the middle of June as a delivering porter for the town, and that on the 24th of November it was the duty of the prisoner to deliver parcels which came by the railway in different parts of London. There were 36 parcels altogether to be delivered by him on that day to various consignees, and amongst them was a truss addressed to Machin and Sons, Twisters-alley, Bunhill-row. On his return to the station he said he had met with a bad job and lost a truss. Witness said he did not understand such a story, and desired him to send the boy in who had accompanied him. Finding that the prisoner did not go quickly, the witness went out and saw the prisoner talking to the boy. The witness, upon questioning both, found a great discrepancy in their statements, and suspecting the pri soner, looked to the delivery book, and found that the missing truss was a truss of silk worth 125/. Further inquiry confirmed the suspicion, and the prisoner was given into custody. Joseph Webb, porter, residing at No. 7, Little Lant street, Borough, stated that on the 24th instant, as he was going up Blackfriars-road, he saw three parties whom he knew to be bad characters , and he followed them to Smithfield and into St. John-street. After he had watched them for some considerable time, he observed one of them go through a lane leading into Charter-house-square. Upon getting into the square he saw a green cart with a brown horse in it, and in that cart were three persons, and the cart was drawn up to the waggon which the prisoner drove, and witness saw the prisoner put a small bale into the cart. It was some where about five o'clock, and nearly dark, and the three parties in the cart drove off. Witness came down into Smithfield, and the driver of the cart whistled to his horse, and it went off at a handsome pace. Inspector Woodruffe requested that the Lord Mayor would remand thecase till Tuesday week... The prisoner said he did not know at all how or where the robbery took place, and that he was equally ignorant of the contents of the truss. Remanded till Tuesday week. Charles Cotton was charged with having robbed James Finnis of a watch. _ _ It appeared that the prosecutor went into a clothes exchange for the purpose of making a purchase, at twelve o'clock in the day. The prisoner suddenly whipped the watch out of the prosecutor's waistcoat pocket and ran, but handed the watch to an accomplice as he went along, and it was lost sight of. Barney Aaron, who has ascended from the character of a fighting man into that of a constable, stopped the thief with skill and effect, although threatened by some ruf fians in the neighbeurhood for interfering.—Committed for trial. CLERKENIVELL. George Wilmot, alias Smith, was brought up on re• mand, charged with having attempted to murder Mrs. Susanna Haines, wife of Mr. James Haines, plumber and glazier, of Paradise-row, Liverpool-road, Islington, when the Court was crowded to excess. Mrs. Haines was brought to the Court in a cabriolet, in a very weakly condition. Mr. Haines, surgeon, who was called upon to attend her after the murderous attack, now attended and said, that she was not yet in a fit state to give her evidence, and it might lead to a dangerous result if she attended at the sessions to give evidence. The prisoner stood at the bar, pale and dejected. He said nothing, and he was remanded until the 14th of De cember. Ho was taken to prison, and Mrs. Haines was conveyed to her residence. FOREIGN POTATOES.—The arrivals of potatoes from abroad during the past Week have comprised the follow ing:—The Gypsy, from Jersey, brought 45 tons, the produce of that island; the Ruding, from Oporto, 10 baskets of Portuguese produce; the Johns, from Rouen, the large quantity of 135 tons, the growth of France; the Giraffe, from Rotterdam, 20 baskets, of Dutch pro duce; the Faith, from Rouen, 105 tons, of French pro duce; the Charles, from Gravelines, 50 tons, also of French produce; the Perseverance, from Dunkirk, 14i tons, the produce of Normandy; the Ocean, from Rot terdam, 4 hampers, 6 baskets, and 12 bags, of Dutch produce; the Rob Roy, from St. Petersburg'', 225 bags, the production of Russia; the Sir Robert Peel, from Rotterdam, 6 bags, of Dutch produce; and the Artemus, from St. John's, Newfoundland, 10 barrels, the growth of that British province of North America. It will be observed that this list of the principal arrivals during the past week comprises supplies from France, Holland, Russia, Normandy, Portugal, and the Channel island first mentioned, and from which latter place we have re ceived parcels of the vegetable on former occasions. Of them, those from France are especially noticeable on account of their extent, and the individual importation from Russia on account of its increased extent, and from Portugal owing to its partial or entire novelty. With respect to the arrival from Newfoundland, we are not aware that a similar one has before taken place, and, although trifling in quantity, the importation, on ac count of its novelty, would appear to possess a consi derable degree of interest, and to be worthy of particu lar and separate notice. TILE WEATHER.—LEEDS, Nov. 29.—Last night we had a heavy fall of snow, which came very gently, and covered the ground to the depth of six inches. The weather, for several days preceding yesterday, was damp and dull ; but a sharp frost set in ou Friday night, and continued until yesterday afternoon, when it gave way, and was succeeded by the first fall of snow this season. A NEW NIAGARA.—There has been a new water fall discovered in the River St. Louis. This cataract falls into the western part of Lake Superior, which has never yet been described by the geographer. It would appear that this new wonder is second only to the falls of Niagara. The volume of water is immense, and the ' height of the fall is 150 feet.—La Revue Canadienne. I oatmeal, is their food. It is true, there are small trouts, or something like them, in some of the little rivers, which continue in holes among the rocks,which are always full of water when the stream has quite ceas e d f or want of rain; these might be a help to them in this starving season ; but I have had so little notion in all my journeys that they made those fish a part of their diet, that I never once thought of them as such till this moment. It is likely they cannot catch them for want of proper tackle, but •I am sure they cannot be without them for want of leisure. What may seem strange is, that they do not introduce roots among them, (as potatoes, for the pur pose) ; but the land they occupy is so very little, they think they cannot 'spare any part of it from their corn, and the landlord's demand of rent in kind is another ob jection. You will perceive lam speaking only of the poor people in the interior parts of the mountains ; for near the coast, all around them, there are few confined to such diminutive farms, and the most necessitous of all may share, upon occasion, the benefit of various kinds of shell-fish, only for seeking and fetching. " Their cattle are much weakened by want of sufficient food in the preceding winter, and this immoderate bleed ing reduces them to so low a plight that in the morning they cannot rise from the ground, and several of the inhabitants join together to help up each other's cows, &c. " In summer the people remove to the hills, and dwell in much worse huts than those they leave below ; these are near the spots of grazing, and are called - shealings, scattered from one another as occasion requires. Every one has his particular space of pasture, for which, if it be not a part of his farm, he pays. " When the grazing fails, the Highlanders return to their former habitations, - and the cattle to pick up their sustenance among the heath as before. At other tidies the children share the milk with the calves, lambs, and kids; for they milk the dams of them all, which keeps their young so lean that w h en so ld i n t h e l ow -country they are chiefly used, as they tell me, to make soups withal; and when a side of one of these kinds hangs up in our market of Inverness the least disagreeable sight is the trasparency of the ribs. " About the latter end of August, or the beginning of September, the cattle are brought into good order by their summer feed, and the beef is extremely sweet and succulent, which, I suppose, iftwing, in good part, to their being reduced to such poverty in the spring, and made up again with new flesh. Now, the drovers col-. lect their herds, and drive them to fairs and markets on the borders of the Lowlands, and sometimes to the north of England ; and in their passage they pay a cer tain tribute, proportionable to the number of cattle, to the owner of the territory they pass through, which is in lieu of all reckoning for grazing. " But nothing is more 'deplorable than the state of these people in time of winter. They are in that season often confined to their glens by swollen rivers, snow, or ice in the paths on the sides of the hills, which is accu mulated by drippings from the springs above, and so by little and little, formed into knobs like a stick of sugar candy, only the parts are not angular like those, but so uneven and slippery that no foot can pass. They have no diversions to amuse them, but sit brooding in the smoke over the fire till their legs and thighs are scorched to an extraordinary degree, and many have sore eyes, and some are quite blind. This long continuance in the smoke makes them almost as black as chimney sweepers ; and when the huts are not watertight, which is often the case, the rain that comes through the roof and mixes with the sootiness of the inside, where all the sticks look like charcoal, falls in drops like ink." There is a touch of the fastidious Englishman—nay, of the Cockney—in this picture of the horrors of winter. Much comfort has been enjoyed in a Highland bothy even in the depth of a snow-fall or the severity of a black-frost. The little township had its occasional days of merriment and nights of festivity, when the scattered groups were collected together from the different huts, and rejoiced over the simple cheer of the glen, inter mixed with song and legend. The painting, however, in its general features, is too true, and it still holds good of a large portion of the crofters. "Still, they tread the same rough way, The present's still a cloudy day." The poverty, the smoky huts, the want of cleanliness and steady industry, and the suffering of the spring season, in too many instances, yet remain. The intro ductionri?oruv b eing . so increased the e he potato e amount offfecatvedailnaoblreealfoionidp, easily produced, it discouraged` industry, and the popula tion multiplying still more rapidly, the general mass was reduced to that state in which they depended solely on potatoes for subsistence. The conversion of large tracts of land into sheep-walks also contracted the demand for labour and the means of support, so that, although above sixty thousand persons, of the crofter and cotter claiies, have emigrated from the Highlands since the period of the American war, the population is still felt to be too numerous. The remedy is—cultivate the waste lands, drain, trench, and improve, and thus create both food and labour. We have already made vast progress in render ing the land productive and' the hills valuable, but we have been indifferent as to the condition - of the people. Let the upper classes now bestir themselves, and make what seems a great calamity in the rural calendar of the north, a landmark from which we may date a new course of advancement. THE TICKET SY STEM. - EXTENSIVE POBGERY. At the Lewes petty session, on Saturday last, two labouiers, named Howell and Johnstone, were charged with having obtained a quantity of goods from Mr. Payne, an outfitter at Lewes, by means of forged railway tickets. The tickets were forgeries of those issued by Mr. Ayres, the deputy contractor of the Keymer branch of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway. They were printed on little bits of paper, and were as follows:—" Deliver to bearer the sum of tine shilling in goods.—Signed F. Ayres. Payable to Benjamin Flint only." It appeared from the evidence for the prosecution that the prisoners a few days ago went to the shop of the prosecutor and purchased a variety of articles, consisting chiefly of wearing apparel, for which they paid in rail way tickets. On the following day another attempt was made to obtain more goods, but the• forgeries in the meantime having been discovered, the prisoners were apprehended. On being charged by the officer who ap: _ prehended them, the prisoners admitted having the articles, and asserted that they " cashed" the tickets for a person whom they did not know. Mr. Ayres, the contractor, stated that the tickets were forgeries, and that he never employed either of the prisoners. He said, in reply to the magistrates, that the name of Benjamin Flint on the ticket was the person from whom he received the money. Mr. Woollgar, one of the magistrates, said the bench were decidedly opposed to the ticket system; they thought it was bad from beginning to end, and the sooner it was put a stop to the better. Howell, one of the prisoners, said in his defence, that he had met several men, one of whom said he had been at work for Ayres, and as he wanted a pair of boots at Bridge's, where Ayres's tickets would not pass, he wished to exchange them, and that he (Howell) gave him 20s. of Wymark's for 225. of Ayres's, and that he also gave another man 11. for 33 more is. tickets. It also appeared in evidence that some hundreds of pounds of these tickets had been forged, and that several other persons would be apprehended shortly. The prisoners were fully committed for trial. DUTCH MAIL. VIENNA, Nor. 18.—We learn that a law will be shortly published with respect to the abolition of the Corvees in Galicia. It is said that the Archduke Stephen of Bohemia, where he has become a favourite among all classes of people, will soon leave Prague, and take the place of the Archduke Louis in the cabinet of the Em peror. A. Bourgrave is to be appointed in Bohemia, which post is to be confided to Count Stadion. FRANKFORT, NOT. is still uncertain whether Cracow will remain a free city, like Brody, or whether it will be included in the jurisdiction of the Austrian Customs. The merchants of Cracow are very important purchasers at the fairs of Frankfort or Leipsig. It is hoped that Prussia, the most important state of the Zollverien, when it was decided to abolish the Republic, has taken care to provide for the interest of commerce which is already so restricted in the eastern provinces. FRANKFORT, Nov. 24.—The Vienna Gazette publishes a commercial treaty between Austria and the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. By this treaty the differential du ties on the productions of the two countries are to be abolished, and an entire freedom of trade and naviga tion between them to be established. The Council of Administration of Warsaw has given notice that the existing duty on coffee: of fifteen silver roubles per cwt. shall be placed on an equality with the duty levied on that article. in Russia, viz. nine silver roubles and twenty-five copees. The Cologne Gazette at length breaks the silence which it has hitherto observed relative to the affairs of Cracow. It endeavours to prove that France and Eng land have no right to attack the measures adopted by the three northern powers. The author of this article, after having observed that, in fact, Cracow had for a long time no more than a shadow of independence; after having insinuated in the second place, that Cracow was no more free than the lonian islands are at present under the protection of England, continues as f o ll o ws: "By what right do France and England complain o f tahlseovaiolfartieeoncooufnttrhye, which rights of n a foot in contempt of the laws of hu manit y ? r t o i o n nqsuerorlstrenitsaAvseulgnedrea thera have th the rn not the Cossacks treated Poland in a more barbarouse women manner the inventors of the razzias treat children of unhappy Africa ? d_ I d, but f o r the with Guizots and the Pab nerstons to reproach us it same right to liberty and indepen d ence ? d 0 00t not or m ean to justify the part ition ofo the do We do not pretend that our Ministers and betterstatesman than France or England ; but we a ffi rm that they do not act worse."

DARING BURGLARY AT YORK.—On .Wednesday morning last, at one o'clock, four men entered s the house bf Mr. Wilson, of West Cottage, which is situated about a mile and a half from this city, on the Boroughbridge road, by taking out a window at the back of the pre mises. , The thieves went up stairs, covered the inmates overhead with the bedclothes, and threatened that if they afterwards said" anything about the matter they should all be murdered. After the robbers had remained about an hour in the house, they decamped, taking away with them a quantity of- wearing apparel, a sovereign, and 9s. in silver.—Yorkshiretnan. FOREIGN BRICKS.--A parcel of 50,000 bricks has arrived by a vessel from Efamburgh, and another of 40,000, by the Catalina, from Antwerp, both cargoes being destined for re-exportation. ..-i- 1 1114 1 1 ,4 I%P 12 5 i 6 A-14 1 - 278% ..., io 0 i 4 , ps ..• ,-, 454 - 5 8 , L iti 10 , , rss I / 47 1 / iL / o. f~~ 0' Or Ifs ;I)
