ADDRES3 TO SIR ROBERT PEEL, ' LATE PREMIER'S REPLY. the meeting of the Marylebone Vestry, is, of the'Regera- circus, in the chair, itated that he had to lay before the _ications which he had reeeliedSin his capacity from Sir Robert Peel, in referenielic the lake addresses carried by the vestry to the Right'Hon. baronet, on the subject of the recent measures of cbtia mercial reform introduced by him into Parliament. The first was as follows: - • - "Whitehall, June 30, 2846. "Sir Robert Peel presents his compliments , lo Mr. Flood,__and begs leave to acknowledge the - receipt-of-his letter of the 27th instant. Sir Robert Peel has beep un able hitherto to fix a time for receiving the depntat,Von referred to in Mr. Fl oo d' s letti,r,, and as he is. up daiiy expectation of being obliged to lease town for a short time, he fears that if he.slertr nbw "to make an-app(ipt ment- he might be unable to keep it. However grAtifyiing it would be to Sir Rybert Pte's feelings to have a per sonal interview with the gentlemen who compose the'le putation, he feels it right to request, under these circum stances, that the resolution of The vckry of St. riliar)le bone May' be titiiiiiniit:cd to him by.letter. " To C. Flood, Esq., Vestry (..)let k; St. Marvlebone." iti cOnsequence 6f this 'communication, the address of the Vestry had since been forwarded to Sir Rohart Peel, who had been pleased to send the following reply thereto:— • " Whitehall, July 7, 1846. "Sir—l request that you will convey to the Vestry of St. Marylebone my best acknowledgments for the ad dress which they have jrtsentt d to me, expressing their approbation of my, public conduct in reference to mea sures recently proposed by me in Parliament. - • ' "I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " ROBERT 'PEEL. " To C. Flood, Esq., Vestry•clerk, St. Marylitone;" The Vestry ordered both communications to be en tered on the minutes. _ ; THE ADVERTISING VAN NUISANCE -DISTRICT ASYLUMS AND PRISON DISCIPLINE. Sir P. LAURIE said, in consequence of the change which had taken place,in her Majesty's Government,. it rendered it necessary that the Vestry should eithqr renew their proceedings, or take some other steps.irr reference to the street advertising van nuisance, to bring that subject under the notice of the newly-appointed Secretary of State, Sir G e or ge , Grey. lle would, there fore, suggest that copies of the correspondence which had .already ,passed between the Vestry and Sir James Graham should be forwarded to Sir George Grey, with the expression of a hope that he would carry, out the remedy about to be propoied for the evil by his prede cessor in office. There was another subject to which ho wished to direct their attention. At the beginning of the session there was a Parliamentary Committee ap pointed with respect to the metropolitan district asylums, and a Committee appointed by that Vestry to witch the proceedings, but, as far as he could ascertain, he could not find that a report had been made by either Committee. The motion with respect to the advertising vans hav ing been put and carried unanimously, _Mr. JOSEPH said, in answer to the inquiries of the worthy Knight, as to the matter of the district asylum's, they would all remember that some time ago a Commit tee was appointed at the instigation of Sir Charles Na pier to inquire into . the conduct of the Poor-law Coin missioners,:relative to the establishment of .these Metro politan district asylums, and twenty-six or twenrf seven days were consumed in hearing evidence. That evidence was such that no unbiassed person who read it could be of any other opinion than that these asylums would prove a monstrous nuisance, instead of a benefit, and that its whole tenour was in favour of the exemption of Marylebone with respect to them. When the Par liamentary Committee got to the end of the evidence, certain resolutions were proposed by Sir Charles Napier and Mr. Hume on the one hand, and Mr. Cripps and Mr. Manners Sutton on the other, the result of which was, that the Committee-room became a 'regular bear garden, and although the Committce came to cocain resolutions, they had up to this time never reported to the House at all. • ALLEGED ENCROACHMENTS ON THE STOPPAGE OF morn OF WAY OVER PRIMROSE RILL. The secretary to the West London Central Anti-En closure Association, came before the board, on the port of that association, to enforce on the attention of the vestry their duty, as the conservators of the parish; to prevent the rights of the rate-payers and the public being invaded by the blocking up of certain rights, of way and ancient footpaths, especially on the Kilburn or Marylebone side of Primrose Hill. After some routine business the vestry -separated. THE MURDER AT SUNDERLAND. SUNDERLAND, THURSDAY NIGHT. --- Since my last communication was written, the police have made -the strictest investigations into this distressing affair, and the, result of those inquiries leaves not the, slightest doubt on their minds that the unhappy young women Hindmarch had been brutally murdered. The circum stances are, however, still undiscovered. The deceased was in good health and spirits when she left her father's house, and was expected to retur n f rom t h e errand on which she was sent in a few minutes. She contemplated visiting South Shields, in company with a young man,, on the - following morning (Sunday) by the Brandling Junction Railway, and had laid out her linen and other clothes for that day, previous to going out. It is rathe# remarkable that, up to this period, it has not been as certained that any person saw her in the street or on the road to the Rector's Gill, near which she was found, al though, being Saturday night, there must have been several persons moving about at the time. A variety of rumours are afloat which it would be bin- Mire' tab gl i ttt rfiiittrttptin - rtein g' - roun tt laid on the edge of the bank, quite precludes the suppo sition that she may have fallea over ; besides, what could she be doing on this lonely spot, at so late an hour, and so far from the shop to which she had gone for articles, which the family required for immediate use ? It is highly improbable that she should have committed suicide by throwing herself over this embankment, when the river wad so near ; and if we conclude that she Might have done so; the circumstance of the bonnet and plate being founci - on the edge again presents an insuperable difficulty. There are also marks of violence on her per— son, and especially the wrist, as if she had had a long end severe struggle. This may well have been, for site was a very strong young woman, and weighed about 11 stone. It will be distinctly proved, too, at the inquest to morrow, that a man and girl (the latter answering the description of the deceased) were seen together on the Rector's Gill, very near the spot where the body was found. The man was pulling the girl about, but as it was supposed they were " sweethearts," no particular notice was taken of it, and, of course, no interferer, occurred on the part of the woman who observed it. Two or three witnesses will also be called, who speak to having heard the shrieks of a woman proceeding from the direction of the Gill ; and ono young man, named Scott, states positively that, about half-past twelve, or. a little later, he heard cries of murder three times, as if uttered by a woman, as "he was going home. He could not ascertain whence these proceeded; but they might have been from the Rector's Gill. He was alone, and. so much frightened that he did not dare to go the place. Other evidence of a like description will also be given, and a Mrs. Spedding is prepared to swear that about tvo, o'clock on Sunday morning, she saw three men running very quick, either from the Gill or Ayre's-quay. Suspicion attaches to a young man who is not in cus- tody, and whose name it would be premature to firen• Lion ; but the landlady with whom he lodges states,that he came home between nine and ten o'clock on Saturday night, and that he wgs never again out of the house. She says that she knows this because she locked him in his room for a particular reason, which will be mentioned to the jury. He will, however, be examined to-morrow, and his examination, it is said, will be very satisfactory, as exculpating himself from the horrible criine which many impute to him. The bank over which the unfortunate girl was thrown is of very great height, and there is a le—dging between. the top and bottom.

MAIDSTONE.—The hops have not made that progress the last week that was expect e d ; even where they have been clear and well, they get yellow, and seem to want rain. At many places, where they are foul, they appear completely gone. The crop must be short. WATERINOBURY, MEREWORTH, TESTON, &c.—The hops grow, but get worse, and the insects still follow the young shoots, and some of the weak grounds have yielded to the blight. There must be something out of the usual way to give anything like an average crop. CNTERBURY.—The hops exhibit a great improve ment on the past week. The vermin is decreasing, the; plants are now tolerably clear, the bine is vigorous, an& the burr just showing itself. There are few sufferer from hbney dew. The duty is set at 135,0001.

ASSIZE IN TELLIGENCE7_ - - NORTHERN CI RCUIT.—York castle, July 9. The York Summer Assises commenced to-day, immedi ately on the arrival of Sir William Wightman, Justice of the Queen's BEnch, at seven o'clock in the evening. The high sheriff of the county, James Walker, Esq., was in waiting at the terminus, and conducted him in his state carriage, pre ceded by the civic functionaries, a guard of javelin men in the sheriff's liveries, and three trumpeters, to the castle, where the royal commission was read, and the assizes opened with all the imposing ceremonies peculiar to this ancient city. . companied by Friday, July.lo. To-day, Sir Cresswell Cresswell, Justice of the Comnion - Pleas, having also arrived, both the Learned Judges proce ded from their lodgi ngs - i n th e hi g h s h e riff's carriage, and, ac twelve o'clock, wh en Justice Wightman, in the Nisi a guard and trumpeters, reached the castle at Prins Court, proceeded to try the city prisoners. The Criminal Court was opened by Justice Cresswell. The list of magistrates for the west, north, and east riding was, called over. The first t;enty-three who answered to their names were then sworn in as the grand jury, Sir Digby Ledger, being the foreman. Her Majesty's proclamation against vice and immorality was read by Mr. Pritchard, clerk of arraigns. Silence then being proclaimed by the crier, his Lordship addressed the grand jury. Gentlemen of the grand jury,—l am happy again to have the pleasure and honour of addressing you, although I must confess there is nothing in the nature of the calendar before me upon which I have to offer you any congratulation. In the table just published by the authorities of the Home Office upon the state Of crime throughout the country it is stated that there has been a decrease in the number of crimes committed generally, and that in the last year there has been a great decrease in the number of commitments within the county of York. lam sorry to observe it is not so on this occasion, for the number is greater than it was at the as sizes at this period last year. Neither is there anything very encouraging in the character of the offences with which the prisoners are to-day charged. Certainly last Summer Assizes there were many cases of charges of stabbing; this assizes there are but five, nor are they of quite so atrocious a de scription ; yet it is to be regretted that there are nine of man slaughter, this assize4n itlgutal, savage manner, too often resorted to in this and the adjoining western county, by means of fighting up and down, ankicking a man, when down on the ground and helpless, with heavy or witted shoes, a cruel and unmanly practice, only to be exceeded by an attack with a deadly instrument. There are but too many cases of violent attempts against young unprotected women. In one case four men are charged with the offence, in which it must be obvious that it is quite impossible and hopeless that a young female, by anything she could do, should be able to offer any effectual resistance to the ;completion of the offence, when assailed by a combined attack of four men. There appears to be nothing complicated in these cases, only it should not be overlooked by you, that when several per sons are in confinement, charged with being engaged in the same offence, what one may say to criminate the other will alone be no evidence of the guilt of his comrade. There are two cases of murder on the calendar, the first by a father of his child. It did happen that on the inquiry before the coroner the evidence of the prisoner's wife was admitted against him. Such evidence is, by our law, inadmissible, and you, gentlemen, will not suffer it to weigh with you when the bill of indictment is submitted to you, and will see that the charge is supported by other evidence before you find a bill under such circumstances. In the other case, Robert Knowison is charged with the wilful murder of his father, in which there is but too much reason to believe, from his previous conduct, that the prisoner laboured under insanity. If there are circumstances which manifest that the prisoner was so insane, of course you will do well to find no bill. If you doubt the evidence on that point, you will best consult the interests of justice by presenting the bill to the petty jury, and if the prisoner be found not guilty on the ground of insanity, then the law will find means to protect society from danger by providing for the continued imprisonment of the prisoner as an insane person. The case of Collins is happily the only one of incendiarism or arson in the calendar. There is, I believe, no evidence of his guilt except that which is supplied by his own testimony, and you will do well to see if that sort of evidence is corro borated by other credible evidence before you find• a bill. The case of Mary Chapman is singular. She is charged with manslaughter. I may not perhaps have all the depositions taken before the magistrates in this case; but if I have I must confess I am surprised to find her here on sucha charge as manslaughter. She appears to have been called in at a labour. The woman she attended was very ill, and the case one of difficulty. The woman was delivered with some as sistance, but subsequently she died. It does not appear there was any gross rashness or gross negligence in the pri soner's treatment of the deceased ; and as to the question whether the prisoner was .a licensed practitioner or not that 'will not affect her 'upon a - charge of manslaughter, whatever its effect may be as to subjecting an unlicensed person to penalties. I confess, without gross rashness or negligence being clearly proved, I think this case must fall to the ground. The case of Martha Dulk is that of a woman charged with exposing her infant child in the open air, with intent to murder it. The . child, it appears, was left out in hedge. However, .it is now living, and in health, which will dispose of the charge of felony, 'though not perhaps of the . misdemeanour. With the aid 9 these few observations I have no doubt you will be enabled to find your way very clearly through the cases that will be submitted to you in the discharge of your important duty. The grand Jury then retired to their room, and soon after appeared with bills they had found. The calendar contains the names of 104 persons charged with offences, of whom 76 are in custody; 2 are accused of burglary, 12 of cutting and wounding, of 'Wounding wail e gun, 3of bigamy. The rest are charged with street robbery, forgery, riot, felonies, and misdemeanours. The trial of Julius Marcus Herman, adifitfiertiniiiriest assizes, on three indictments for forgery, but postponed, was again postponed upon his application, through Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, until to-morrow. His Lordship proceeded to try some forgery cases of little or no interest. ' OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Abingdon, July 11. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Sergeant GASELEE.) David Stroud, a saddler and harness-maker, carrying on business at Aldermaster, in this county, was indicted for having administered in September last noxious drugs to one Maria Nash, who was occasionally in his service, with in tent to procure abortion. It appeared on the investigation of the case, that the defendant had written a prescription which he gave to a fellow -servant of the prosecutrix, a man named Harris, who sent it to a druggist at Reading; that the prosecutrix took a few of the pills which the druggist sent back; that the medicines mentioned in the prescription were merely strong aperients, which; unless taken in large quantities, could not produce abortion; that she did not take them in large quantities; and that a healthy child was born in due time, and was now living. For the defendant it was a ttempted to be made out th a t Harris, not the defendant, was the father of the child, and that Harris and the prosecutrix induced the defendant to write the prescription in order to effect their own objects against him. The jury, after a quarter of an hour's consultation,Acquit ted the prisoner. He had been prosecuted by Mr. V. Lee, and defended by Mr. Carrington and Mr. Pigott. MURDER. — Sarah Wickens, aged 23, was indicted for the wilful murder, on the 16th of March last, of a male child, four months old, which in some counts of the indictment was laid as her own child, and in others not. She was also charged on a coroner's inquisition with the same offence. On the case being called on, and it being discovered that the prisoner had no counsel, the Learned Judge requested Mr. P. Mahon to defend her. The prosecution was con ducted by Mr. Carrington. The facts of the case were these :—On Saturday, the 14th of March, the prisoner was seen sitting on the side of the road leading from Reading to Aldermaster by a Mr. Packer, a music-master, of Reading, who was driving by in his car riage ; but, on noting her condition, alighted. She had a child in her lap, and a bundle by her side. She was crying, and appeared very miserable, and told him that she had no suck for the child, and no money or victuals ; and that she was going to Crookham-common to get something from the father of the child. The latter was extremely emaciated, and was wrapped up in a flannel dress, or something of that sort, by which its head was partially covered. He did not give the woman anything, as he feared she might be a tramp ; but he desired her to go to a lady's in the neighbour hood and use his name. He was talking to her at the ut most about a quarter of an hour. On the night of the same day, about eleven, a man named Hoare found the pri soner lying near a hayrick inside the road, with a baby and a bundle. She seemed very weak, and the child in a most emaciated condition. He took her to his house, and kept her there till eleven the next day. She was very kind to the infant, and did all for it that a fond mother could. When she went away she left a bundle behind, as she was unable to carry the child and the bundle. A man named Goddard saw her on Sunday. She asked leave to come into his house and warm the baby. The child seemed cast away for want, and kept fretting all the time the prisoner re mained in the house, which was about an hour. She was very attentive and kind to the child. At a little after five o'clock—about a quarter after five—on Monday, the 16th, Mrs. Goddard saw a woman with a child in Brompton-lan e Axe house and at half-past five the p risoner came to Hoare's house , which is between a mile a nd a mile and a half from Bromp ohfish who lived a b out f our m i les his, said said she had l e f t i t at ton-lane, and asked for her bundle ; and on getting it went off. She had not the ch ild when she ca me then, and, in fromrfnosonwni one Hazel o t a o r az an Int,oilln . an a u n ir e y of uncle . it was at that ti me ra i n i ng heavily. Between seven and eight o'clock that evening she called at Hazel's, but never left a child there. Hazel did not know that she had had a child. On the 27th of March, as two sweeps named Rawlins were going along Brompton-lane, a dog of theirs pulled out the body of a child from a large hole formed by the excavation of the_ earth from un d er the roots of a tree growing on the top of ravel hedge. At the b o tt om o f the hedge the road was a hard g one. The hole had been made by rabbits, and was apparently a reso r t f or t h em, d and the child was so placed in in it that a p erson going along the the lane would have seen it if he b iad looked ca re f u ll y i n t h at direction. They took away ody. An inquest was held upon it the next day. Hoare carne and lo o k e d at the body of the child, but could not say that it was the child he had seen with the prisoner. It did not appear that Goddard saw the corpse. Mr. Packer saw it after the in quest, and swore positively to its identity with that of the child he had seen with the prisoner : he knew it by its emaciated state and high cheek bones. A Mr. Cog, a surgeon, proved that the death of the child must have been caused by its he a d b e i ng struc k against a hard substance. or a i hard substance b e i ng s t ruc k against the head. He a dded, t iat generally the cheek bones were not more prominent after than before death. No evi dence was given as to the conduct or proceedings of the pri soner since the 16th of March. Mr. P. APMAHoN having addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, His LORDSHIP read over the evidence, and summed it up with great care and attention. The jury, after a few minutes deliberation, returned a ver dict of Not Guilty. Oxford, July 11. Mr. Justice MAULE, after disposing of the cases at his Court at Abingdon, carne over here and opened the com mission with the usual formalities. His Lordship and Mr. Sergeant Gaselee will attend Church to-morrow. There are nine causes in the list, of which three are for special juries. There are in the calendar one ease of murder, one of rape, one of burglary, two of arson, one of housebreaking, one of poaching, one of horse -stealing, several larcenies, and one assault; and the names of nineteen prisoners altogether. NORFOLK ClRCUlT:—Buckingham, July 11. The commission for this county was opened on the 10th, by Mr. Justice Williams. Thecakndar contained the names of seven prisoners only, of whom one was chaged with arson, three with burglary, and three with larceny. Of these one could neither read nor write; one could read imperfectly, and the others could read and write, but only imperfectly. The calendar contained a list of persons now confined on orders in the gaol and in the house of correction—they are 49 in num ber ; of them three can read and write well, 22 can read and write imperfectly, 13 can read imperfectly, and 11 can neither read nor write. The cause list was unusually light; two cases only were tried, and the one only was defended. The assizes were brought to a close before five o'clock on Sa turday, but the judges and. the bar will remain until after the entertainment on Monday, to which they have been in vited by the Duke of Buckingham. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) THE QUEEN V. LAWRENCE HUGHES. JOSEPH PEARCE, AND ROBERT SHOPPER. BURGLARY.—REMARKABLE PRESENCE OF MIND.—ThiS indictment charged:the defendants with having burgiariously entered the dwelling-house of Richard Weatherby, at Iver, and with having stolen therefrom a watch, a pistol, a gun, and a snuff-box, on the night of the 3d of May last. From the eviaence it appeared that the Prosecutor, who lives at the- Parsopage Farm at Iver, retired to rest on the night already named about ten o'clock, and placed on the table in his room the keys of a chest standing near his bed side, in which he had locked a canvas bag that contained the sum of 1901. At that time all the doors and windows were safely locked and bolted. About two o'clock he was awakened and found four men in the room, one of whom stood over him with a stick while the others ransacked the place. On the keys being found the chest was opened, and the men be gan to rummage it. The prosecutor, who was now aban doned by the person who had stood over him, perceived that th.'y overlooked the canvas bag. He raised himself in his bed—stretched his arm to it—conveyed it rapidly under the bed-clothes, and then began to call aloud for his servants. The call was answered and the men made off—one of them rushing to the head of the bed, and snatching away the prosecutor's watch as he went. The prosecutor, though nearly seventy years .of age, got up at once— stumbled over a large stick, which he seized—ran down stairs, attacked the thieves in the passage, and dealt to one a tremendous blow on the face. As soon as the house was cleared, an examination of the ,premises took place. It ap peared that die-Mime had been entered by means of a panel broken in the back door, in the path leading to which the footmarks of four men were to be seen ; in the passage of the house, and also in the family room, the floor was deeply in dented with the impressions of a man's boot; and a strange hat was discovered in the passage. The prisoners, who had been seen in company near Iver, both on the night before and the morning after the burglary, were soon afterwards taken into custody. Hughes was identified as the man who had stood over the prosecutor. The boot of Pearce corre sponded exactly with that of which the impression had been left on the floor. Shoppee exhibited on his face the marks of a blow recently inflicted with a stick; and the hat was found to be that of Hughes. Mr. Saunders and Mr. Wells conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Tozer addressed the jury for Hughes and Pearce. Mr. Baron ALDERSON having left it to the jury to say whether the evidence of identity was satisfactory to them, a verdict of Guilty was returned against all the prisoners. Shoppee, who had been previously convicted of felony, was sentenced to transportation for life, and the other two to transportation for 20 years. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice Wil-usius and a Com _ men Jury.) GLADDEY V. STUCHBERRY.-THE FUNCTIONS OF CONSTABLE. The plaintiff, who is a labourer, and one of the choristers of the church of Brill, in this county, thought proper, on the evening of Saturday, the 14th of March last, to go to a house in that place, called the Rose and Crown. Notwith. standing that the plaintiff is now in very humble cir cumstances, he was formerly well off, and he chose to enter the parlour of the public-house, where the baker and other magnates of Brill were assembled. After some time he volunteered to entertain the company with the old song of " Tom Bowling ;" and, whether it was that the song was obnoxious to the personages present, or that the com pany of the singer was disagreeable, at the conclusion of the second verse his face was blackened with snot and candle grease, his hat was thrown on to the fire, and on the defendant Stuchberry, who is the constable of Brill, coming into the room, the plaintiff was given in charge for disorderliness. Stuchberry inquired whether the per sons giving the plaintiff in charge were in earnest, and on receiving an answer in the affirmative, immediately attempted to take him into custody. A scuffle ensued, and the two fell, Stuchberry, who is a powerful man, being uppermost. One of the bones of the plaintiff's leg was slightly fractured. He was led home, inflammation ensued, and he was confined to his room in great pain for some weeks. On his getting well he brought this action for the recovery of damages against Stuchberry and the other per sons concerned in the assault. The defence was that Stuch berry was justified in attempting to take the plaintiff into custody, the injury to the leg accidental, and the whole quarrel one of a series of public-house brawls, of which the plaintiff had been the hero. It appeared also that blacken ing the face with soot and grease is a punishment inflicted, according to' the unwritten law of this county on those who offend against the rules of decorum to be observed at meet ings such as that at which the cause of this action arose. Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. O'Malley were counsel for the plaintiff, who is a pauper; Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Power represented the defendants. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS told the jury that a constable had no right to apprehend except on a charge of felony, on his own suspicion of felony, or for an assault committed in his own view, and left it to them to say to what damages, in the event pf the witnesses being deemed worthy of credit, the for the plaintiff—lntinge,, - - • . HOME ClRCUlT.—Hertford, July 10. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE and a Special Jury. /I LAGG V. STURT. This was an action for libel. The declaration charged the defendant with having published a letter accusing the plain tiff of having, in his capacity of clerk to the justices of St. Alban'..?, corruptly conspired and procured the release of a prisoner charged with embezzlement, and also with sharing the money he had embezzled with him. The defendant put several pleas upon the record, but their effect was a justifica . tion of the statement. Sergeant Shee, with Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Grunston, ap peered for the plaintiff; Mr. Martyn Chambers, Mr. Ryland and Mr. Peacock, for the defendant. Sergeant SIIEE stated the case, and said that the plaintiff was a professional gentleman, residing at St. Alban's, where he filled the office of town-clerk, and also clerk to the borough justices, and who he believed was generally well known and respected throughout the whole county, and he appeared before them that day to complain of a most foul and malicious attack that had been made upon him by the defendant, and which was calculated to destroy for ever his professional prospects and also his position in society. The Learned Sergeant then proceeded to state that in the borough of St. Alban's there were two separate jurisdictions of ma gistrates, one for the borough and another for the liberty, both of them being entirely distinct and independent of each other. The plaintiff, Mr. Blagg, acted as clerk to the borough magistrates, and of course, in his capacity of attor ney, he was called upon occasionally to appear before the other bench of magistrates, either as attorney for the prosecution or to defend a prisoner, and inasmuch as it was an entirely independent jurisdiction, and had nothing whatever to do with the borough justices, it appeared to be clear that there could be no objection to this course of proceeding on his part. In the menth of April in the present year, Mr. Kin der, a brewer at St. Alban's, made a charge of embezzle ment against one of his clerks, named Gutteridge, and he was taken before the liberty justices, and Mr. Blagg attended as his solicitor. Every proceeding was taken in a perfectly regular manner, and the result of the inquiry was that the prisoner was committed for trial. Shortly after this a per son named Hutson, the uncle of Gutteridge, who had also been in Mr. Kinder's employ, was taken into custody on the charge of entbezzlement, and he was taken before the borough magistrates. A solicitor attended on his behalf, Mr. Blagg took the depositions, and the magistrates committed the ac cused for trial, but consented to take bail, himself entering into a recognisance of 8001., and finding .four sureties in 2001. each. Everything during these proceedings had been conducted in the most regular manner, and the plaintiff was, therefore, astonished to find that the defendant had taken upon himself to write a letter to Sir James Graham, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in which he made statements of such a character as were calculated to have been his utter ruin, if he had not had an opportu nity of contradicting them. Sir James Graham, upon seeing the contents of this letter, however, very properly sent a copy of it to the magistrates; and upon the plaintiff be coming acquainted, through them, with the contents, he im mediately commenced legal proceedings against the defendant. The Learned Counsel then read the letter which formed the subject of the present action. It was addressed to the Secre tary of State, and the following is a copy " St. Alban's and Ilerts Bank, April 23, 1846. " Honourable Sir, —Deeming the due administration of justice of paramount importance, and that those who ad minister it should be not only pure, but above suspicion, I beg to call your attention to the following facts, showing the anomalous position of a certain functionary in this borough. At this time there are two persons fully committed for trial for felony, one by the liberty magistrates, and the other by the borough magistrates. The parties are related, being uncle and nephew, and lately clerks to a brewer, whom they are charged with having robbed for a number of years. The nephew was taken into custody first, and was com mitted by the liberty magistrates, and is now in our gaol, bail having been refused. This prisoner is defended by the town-clerk of this borough. The uncle was committed by the borough magistrates, the town -clerk taking the evidence, and acting as the legal adviser of the magistrates, a friend of his acting as legal adviser to the "prisoner. The most close intimacy has existed for years between the town-clerk and ' the two prisoners, and when the nephew's papers were yes terday examined, an enormous amount of accommodation bill transactions, and legal proceedings arising therefrom, amounting to many thousands, were discovered, the said town-clerk and others with whom he is closely associated being the parties thereto, thus clearing up the mystery as to the uses to which the plunder has been appropriated. Deem ing this a state of things demanding a remedy, t respectfully call your prompt attention to the same, feeling assured that you will institute the necessary inquiry, and take such steps as the justice of the case and the crying evils pointed out demand. " I have the honour, &c., " G. STURT." The Learned Sergeant proceeded to state that this letter clearly contained the insinuations charged in the declara tion; and when the jury recollected that it was written by a banker, and a person consequently of station and respecta bility, they could not but feel that it was calculated en tirely to destroy the plaintiff, and when he had satisfied him, as he had no doubt he should do, that there was not the slightest foundation for such charges, he called upon them to give such exemplary damages as would effeetnally re-establish the character Of the plaintiff in the minds of his fellow-townsmen and tha county with which he had tem es long connected. The Hon. Arthur Dillon was then sworn—He deposed that he held an office in the Home Secretary's department, and he had attended with the letter addressed to. Sir James Graham on the 23d of April, 1846, hilt before he produced it he begged to be allowed to state that Sir James considered it a confi dential communication, and had instructed him not to deliver it up unless his Lordship ordered him to do so.

THE LATE CHIEF JUSTICE TINDAL.—The lamented Lord Chief Justice Tindal was a native of Chelmsford, and that town will ever feel an honest pride in having sent to the judicial bench a man over whose sudden demise all parties mourn, whose high and excellent qualities, independence, and integrity, all parties admit, and whose name and authority will long be quoted and felt in British juris prudence. He was descended from Dr. Matthew Tindal, a celebrated controversial writer of a former day, and from the Rev. Nicolas Tindal, a man of literary reputation, who was rector of Great Waltham in . 1722, and who wrote a portion of a history of Essex, which, however, he gave up to undertake a translation of Rapin's " History of England." The father of Sir Nicolas, as above stated, was a solicitor of this town, and the first seeds of that ripe and ready scholarship which soon after won for him distinc tion at the University, were sown at the grammar-school here, then under the mastership of the Rev. Thomas Naylor. There are still living in this town and neighbourhood several of his schoolfellows, who speak of him as having, when a youth, given indications of those quick parts and that solid talent which afterwards marked his career, and en abled him to adorn the high office he so long filled.—Chelms ford Chronicle.

In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n, How health, how hope, how happiness to gain." WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID ; With Diet Tables for all Complaints. Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the instructions herein contain~ the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health fnll threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the isstte thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and fhture race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the lilt e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation Df our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpOse, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study.and pursuit.

The witness then handed in the letter in question, mid it was formally read as evidence: Another letter, written after, the plaintiff had commenced his action, and in which the defendant complained of his being compelled to defend an action on account of his having exposed what he considered a very great abuse in the admi nistration of justice, was alSo puf in and read. Cross-examined—Sir James Graham sent down Mr. New man Rogers to inquire into - the - "circumstances of the com plaint, but that gentleman had,not yet made a report. Mr. Henry Edwards deposed that the letter was in the handwriting of the defendant. Cross-examined—He was a bankrupt two years ago, and be was one of the bail in 2001. for the prisoner Hutson. Witness, was fbrmerly a clerk in Muskett's bank, at St. Alban's ; and Mr. Blagg was their professional adviser, and used to raise money for them when the bank was in difficul ties. He had raised thousands of pounds for them. He re• membered a transaction with two bank post bills, payable 40 days after sight, one for 2001. and the other for 1001. Mr. Blagg got the money for these bills, and there was an under standing that fresh bills should be given to take them -up when they became due. Baron - PARKE—What kind of bank post bills do you mean? not Bank of England bills? Witness—Oh no, my Lord, St. Alban's bank bills—(Roars of laughter.) Cross-examination continued—Mr. Muskett's bank was not now in existence. He found a box in the possession of Hutson, which contained a great quantity of bills of ex change, but he did not examine them to see who were the parties to them. - Mr. Debenbam, the solicitor employed by Mr. Kinder to prosecute Hutson and Gutridge, deposed that he was pre sent at the examinations before both _ the liberty and the borough magistrates, and he expressed his opinion that Mr. Blagg did no more than his duty justified him on both occasions ; and he said he had-no complaint to make of the manner in which the cases were Conducted. Mr. Grove Lowe, the clerk to the liberty justices, gave similar testimony. This was the case for the plaintiff. _ Mr. CHAMBERS submitted that the letter was merely such a comment upon the conduct of , a public officer by a party interested as was sanctioned by the law, and that, therefore, it was a privileged communication, and could not be made the subject of an action for libel. Mr. Baron PARKE said he thought there was a question for the jury whether the letter was written bond fide, with the view suggested by the Learned Counsel, or whether the writer was actuated by malice in making the communication. Mr. CHAMBERS then addressed the jury, and he argued that it would be very unjust to convict the defendant of having published a libel under the circumstances that had been detailed. He submitted that the defendant had told nothing but the truth, and he would ask the jury whether the plaintiff was not really placed in an anomalous position in the borough ? He • appeared before a bench of magistrates one day to defend a prisoner, and when that prisoner's ac complice in the robbery was charged before ,another set of magistrates he had to appear as clerk and legal adviser to the bench, and in the result bail was refused for one of the parties accused, and he was committed to prison; and in the other, where the plaintiff was clerk, and where he would have to advise the magistrates as to the course they ought to pursue, the prisoner was allowed to go at large upon bail. He would put it to the jury whether such a pro ceeding as this was not calculated to create a suspicion as to the purity of the administration of justice, and whether the inhabitants of the borough of St. Alban's could feel any con fidence while such a system existed. The defendant, as one tohfethpousere administrationinhabitants,and of th th er e ef l o a r w e , ha d v id ing fee a l d t e h ep at in su te c r h estin pro ceedings were improper • and what course did he pursue? Why, he wrote to the Secretary of State, the properly-con stituted authority, to inquire into and remedy such griev ances, asking him to make that inquiry and afford the remedy demanded. As to the inuendos contained in the declaration, that the defendant intended to charge the plaintiff with con spiring to obtain the discharge of the prisoners, and that he had shared in their plunder, he denied that the letter could fairly be said to convey any such charges, and it merely stated facts which he submitted had been fully proved by the witnesses for the plaintiff. All the defendant said was, that Mr. Blagg was acting in the borough of St. Alban's in a double and doubtful capacity, and could the jury come to any other conclusion with regard to his position, • upon the facts that had been laid before them ? Mr. Baron PARKE hiving summed up, The jury, after deliberating for a few minutes, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1001. THE POUR MAN'S GUARDIAN SOCIETY. Now that the Anti-Corn-law League has fulfilled its mission, and ceased to exist, we shall doubtless, ere long, see other similar associations formed for the accomplish ment of important objects. The signal success of the body which dissolved on Thursday cannot fail to operate as an inducement to other public-spirited men •to form themselves into a committee, as the originators of the League did into a council, preparatory to their com mencement of a great general agitation in favour of their particular views. There is one association which al ready exists, and which, if we mistake not,• is not only destined, before many months have elapsed, to fill a prominent place in the public eye, bat to take up a posi tion resembling, in some respects, that which the League has occupied for some years past, The body to which we allude is the Poor Mans Guardian Society, A more praiseworthy society nowhere exists. It has no political or party purpose in view. It is based on the most comprehensive principles. It is the offspring of a pure and enlightened humanity. The proor and the unprotected are those whose cause it espouses, It seeks c e Pii i nNt uldn harsh rich and the noble are treated with far more kindness and attention than those whose misfortune it is to be sunk in the depths of poverty. Poverty is considered synonymous with criminality ; and with criminality, too, of the most aggravated kind. The great object of the Poor Man's Guardian Society is to extend to our pauper population all the protection from oppression and injus tice, which it is in its power to give. It is founded on the great Christian principle, that all men are naturally, and in the eye of the Great Supreme, equal. Nay, more, that all men are brethren. There is something more than nobility in the aims of such a society ; there is divinity in its great object. The countenance of the Deity will not be withheld from it; it bears on its visage a divine impress, and, so approved, and so encouraged, it must needs go on prospering and to pros per. We shall be equally surprised and disappointed if the Poor Man's Guardian Society do not speedily become one of the most popular of the popular associa tions which have of late years occupied so prominent a place in public estimation. If any existing society is destined to the place of the Anti-Corn-law League, we believe it is the Poor Man's Guardian Society. Mr. Cochrane, a gentleman of high intelligence and the most fervent humanity, was, if we mistake not, the originator or founder of this society; we shall be surprised and grieved if we do not find, ere long, that that gentleman's name, like the name of Cobden, has become a household word. We know of few questions more calculated to attract national attention, or to enlist the sympathies of the country, than that to which the Poor Man's Guar dian Society addresses itself. Though there are among the officials connected with the, administration of the poor laws, and among the general community also, men whose bosoms never heaved in sympathy with the oppressed and suffering poor, the heart of the country is sound on the subject of their wrongs, and will readily respond to any appeal which may be made to it on their behalf. If the agitation com menced by Mr. Cochrane, and those associated with him in this most laudable enterprise, be carried on, as we doubt not it will be, with judgment and energy, there can be no risk in predicting that it will, as already ob served, become, next to the corn• law agitation, now happily concluded, the most popular enterprise of the day. " Cautious" persons may keep back for a time ; they may stand aloof until they see how the wind blows ; but the moment they discover the tide of popular feeling setting in its favour, they will rush in breathless haste to encumber it with their support. Let not the humane gen tlemen who are originating what we confidently anticipate will become a mighty movement be discouraged or cast down by the lukewarmness which they may, in the outset, have to encounter. Can they tell us of any great enterprise which was not at first exposed to the chilling atmosphere of indifference ? What could have been more disheartening than the apathy which the Anti-Corn-laiv League had to encounter in the com mencement of its career ? Yet see the attention it at tracted in the brief space of two or three years ; and behold the mighty moral revolution it achieved before seven years had run their course. Let the Poor Man's Guardian Society take courage from the experience Of the Anti-Corn-law League. Mr. Cochrane, like Mr. Cobden, will have his triumph in the end. ,And in the meantime, whatever may be the amount of opposition or neglect with which he, and those who are leagued with him in the good work, may have to encounter, they will, we are sure, have in the meantime their reward in the approval of their own consciences and the gratitude of the poor ; and, at no distant day, they will receive the further recompense of hearing a nation's acclama tions greet the mere mention of their names.—Morning Advertiser. DEATH or ATTILA.—This celebrated , racer, the six winner o'clock,of the at Derby the Hyde - park-corne r .

Hi s engage ment having terminated during the past week, he was sent to Boulogne, where he was Shipped for London. Whilst at sea, heavy weather came on, and the horse became extremely restless, kicking and plunging violently, so much so, indeed, that the box, in which he was pl ace d was near ly shattered to pieces . . At last he w as f oun d lyi ng on hi s severely injured ; and the man in attendance upon him, assisted by some of the crew, got him out, placed him on deck, and cov ere d hi m over w i th a tarpau li n. When the vessel arrived at the London-bridge Pier, it was found ne cessary to lay him in the tarpaulin, and so carry him to land. After lying on the quay a short time, he got up, and vi3s led gently to Mr. Smith's liverystables, close where remained from Tuesday night till about 1-, ‘ l . f .tersall's, where he : morning, when he was talcen to rut-, I died as above stated.

Thus goes the world ; one of two students, on almost equal ground, becomes a " Sovereign Pontiff;" the other, though filling the world with his name, is the humble vicar of the small parish of Isle Brewers, in a retired part of this county, where, however, he has the sweet reward of ministering to the spiritual wants of an attached congrega tion; anxious to be taught. —Somerset County Gazette. 0 - 0 10 0 0. d. o 0 [lulu• es. 1 - . _• 0 1 y reirr Wif e Si 11°' 433 0 P 117tig°11' of J• p' U- ._. 0' do° JO 1
