LORD SHREWSBURY AND MR O'CONNELL. The following very interesting communication, from the Earl of Shrewsbury, has been forwarded to us by Dr. John Shiel, of Ballyshannon, to whom it is ad dressed : "Alton Towers, Nov. 30, 1846. "My dear Sir,—l am sorry to learn, by your favour of the 25th, that there can be any party in Ireland so base and so ungrateful, as to be endeavouring to preju dice the people against O'Connell, under the plea that he has sold his services to the Government for an equi valent in patronage. "In whatever difficulties he may be placed, I have sufficient confidence in his honesty and integrity, to be convinced that he will never barter his independence for anything short of justice to his country—and that he may live to see the triumph of that cause which he has so long, so ably, and so energetically advocated, as a re ward for his unrivalled activity a nd devotion to a great principle, is what we must all sincerely desire—though we may differ, and differ widely, in opinion, on the de tails of those arrangements by which that principle is to be carried out. " Did we require a proof of the honesty and sincerity of his estimation of the means which he called forth for the accomplishment of his end, we certainly now have it in the honest indignation with which he has rejected an appeal to physical, as long as even the most distant hope existed that moral force could be brought to bear upon the question ; and as far as I can Corm a judgment, O'Connell's character and reputation never stood so high before the public in Eng land as it does now ; not only from his just conceptions of his duty as a loyal subject, but from his unwearied and unremitted exertions in thecause of humanity during the appalling visitation with which it has pleased Provi dence to afflict his unfortunate country. It is, therefore, doubly surprising to us, that amongst those whom he has so long been, and still is, endeavouring to benefit and befriend, there should be found any so devoid of feeling and gratitude as to malign and calumniate him —the more especially in a moment in which his exer tions seem the most likely to be crowned with success, and that a kind and merciful Providence may at length look down with complacency, or with pity, on his suf fering countrymen, and, through his instrumentality, raise them from the state of degradation which has so long lowered them, in spite of the splendid qualities of their nature, in the scale of social beings, is still, and again, the earnest prayer, dear sir, of your most obe dient humble servant, " SH REW SBU RY. " You also inform me that a pension of 1001. a year was offered to good Father Mathew. There is no price at which the services of that extraordinary man could be repaid ; bnt, surely, a much larger sum would be well spent in enabling him (and that I am sure is all that he desires) to carry out a scheme which has iorie, and will, doubtless, continue to do, more towards eradicating crime and bettering the social and physical condition of the people than any that could be devised ; and we must still hope that Government will not neglect to avail itself of so easy a means of attaining so great an end.— Dublin Evening Post. THE LATE MARQUIS of AILSA,K.T. Probate of the will of the late most Hon. Archibaild Marquis of Ailsa, of the United Kingdom, Earl of Cas sillis in Scotland, of Cullean Castle, Ayrshire, , North Britain; of Whitehall-gardens, and of St. Margaret's, Lsleworth, Middlesex, has been granted by the Preregn. tive Court in London, to the executors and trustees, Sir David Baird, Bart., Colonel Jonathan Peel, and Sir John A.

The deceased Marquiis made a will for England and another for Scotland, both of even date—the 11th September, 1843. His Lordship attained his seventy-sixth year, and died on the Bth of September last. He was created Marquis by King !lam IV. in 1831. The Earldom of Cassillis was made in 1509. OTAHEITE. The following memorial to the King of the French, on the subject of Otaheite, has been numerously signed :-- "TO HIS MAJESTY LOUIS PHILIPPE, KING OF THE FRENCH. " The Memorial of the undersigned Members of the Baptist Church and Congregation assembling for Divine Worship in South Parade, in Leeds, in the county of York, " Showetii—That your memorialists desire to ap proach your Majesty with the respect that is due to the beloved monarch of a great and powerful nation. They have heard with deep regret of the naval and military proceedings of your Majesty's ships and soldiers in Ota heite, by which the Queen has been compelled to fly for safety from her usual residence, many of the inhabitants have been driven from their homes to the mountains and fastnesses of the island, and the lives of multitudes of the Otaheiteans and of your own subjects have been sacrl ficed in battle. The woes of the past cannot be recalled, but the woes anticipated in future, to a great extent, may be prevented by your Majesty's prompt and ener getic interference. That interference will be highly honourable to your Majesty, but the extermination of the Otaheiteans would leave an indelible stain on the history of your reign. "Your memorialists beg leave to submit to 3 our Ma jesty's attention "First—That your Majesty has no right of dominion in the island of Otaheite, because, supposing the treaty on which your claim is founded to have been signed by the Queen of Otaheite voluntarily without force or fear, her Majesty has no right or authority to transfer her sovereign power over the people to another, without their ful' and free consent. Secondly—The establish meat of distant colonies, attuning to the practice of European nations, by force, both in past and present times, has been a frightful source of bloodshed, misery, and crime, and is manifestly in opposition to the pre cepts and principles of Christianity, as taught in the New Testament. "Your memorialists desire to explain that they do not appeal to your Majesty through the ministers of our gra cious Sovereign, because your protectorate of Otaheite has been acknowledged by the government of this coun try, the validity of which we, as individuals, deny ; be cause our beloved country retains the sovereignty over colonies which (like Otaheite) have been obtained by force of arms, and which we consider one of our great national sins; and, because diplomatists rarely appeal to the principles of right as revealed in the Word of God, but often to the physical force by which their appeals can be enforced. -- ‘:irO;;;;Temorialists, from the highest authority, know that, whether men believe it or not, the Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed;' and, therefore, they entreat your Majesty to bring the proceedings of your commanders, by sea and by land, in Otaheite, under your own calm examination, on Chris. tian principles, and to adopt such measures towards the Queen and inhabitants of Otaheite (many of the latter widows and orphans), as the g►eat principle of doing t.) others as we would that they should do to us, mani featly points out for your Majk-sty's guidance. "Your memorialists cordially wish your .Majesty a loag, happy, and prosperous reign, that your throne may be established 4Fighteousness, and that when God shall call you to resign your eartbry crownit may be ex changed for an enduring crown of righteousnei-ii in the mansions of eternal glory."—Leeds Mercury.

ALARMING !—VERY !—On Sunday evening last, as the congregation of St. Peter's Chapel, Leeds, were de voutly engaged in religious exercises, they were all at once frightened from their propriety by a dull rumbling noise, followed by the crash of a heavy falling body.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec. 7. ALLEY V. GAIN. Mr. Chambers (with whom sas Mr. Pall) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Crowder appeared for the de fendant. Mr. CHAMBERS stated that this action arose out of that great mania for speculation in railways which took place in the year 1845, and in which the defendant was extensively engaged. The plaintiff is a surveyor. The defendant was a butcher, residing at Kennington. In the course of the railway mania a scheme entitled the Lincolnshire and Eastern Counties Junction Railway was formed, and on the 9th of October, 1845, the defendant wrote to the parties engaged in the project to have his name inserted in the list of the provisional committee, which was accord ingly done. In the late decisions upon this class of cases, in the:Court of Exchequer, it had been held that the mere fact of any man's name appearing on the provisional committee would not entitle any parties to bring an action against him, but that the jury might take into consideration the important fact, of whether it should appear upon the prospectus that the provisional committee had employed parties to make surveys, or had in their prospectus in any manner made themselves liable or responsible. In the prospectus which had been set forth in this case the provisional committee de scribed the various facilities offered by the line, stating that persons had been employed to make the necessary surveys, and on the face of it it must appear to the jury that the plaintiff was in this case clearly entitled to re cover according to the view taken by the Court of Ex chequer. The amount sought to be recovered was 203/. 19s. 6d., the balance of an account, for part of the money had been handed over. The Learned Counsel then read the prospectus, and called Mr. White, the secretary to the company, who proved the insertion of the defendant's name upon the prospec• tus, of which 3,000 copies were printed and issued. Mr. CRowDER objected that, although the defendant wrote to request that he should be placed upon the pro visional committee, he had not authorised their publish ing his name to the world. The Learned JUDGE reserved the point. Mr. LEWIS, the engineer to the proposed railway corn , pany, proved the moderate nature of the plaintiffs charges. He stated that he employed surveyors to do work for the company; but he should not have done so had it not been for the list of responsible persons whose names appeared as provisional committeemen. All the work was done by him on the reponsibility of the company. Mr. Furlong, a surveyor, also proved that the plain tiff's charges were fair and reasonable. The company had not yet been dissolved. Mr. Brace, the solicitor to the coirpany, employed witness to arrange the sections: By Mr. CROWDER—Considered that Mr. Brace em ployed him on the responsibility of the company, as set forth. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. CROWDER rent wed his former objection, and con tended that the prospectus could not be received in evi dence, as there was nothing in the defendant's letter to warrant the parties in publishing his name to the world with any responsibility attached to it. This letter merely said 6- insert my name as a provisional committeeman;" but did not - say; " publish 'my name as a provisional committeeman." Had the prospectus been sent to him, and he had offered no objection to it, it would be another thing, but nothing of the kind was proved. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE was of opinion that the ob- Lion of Mr. Crowder was a good one, and the question should abide the decision of the jury. Mr. CHAMBERS said that it would be a pity that the cause should have to come to trial again, and be would therefore offer a little additional evidence. He then called Mr. Ambrose Moore, one of the provisional committee men of the railway, and chairman of the committee of management, who proved that the name of the de fendant was on the 14th of October read from the pro spectus at a meeting of the committee at which the de fendant was present. He made no objection to it, nor was any objection made to its insertion. By Mr. CROWDER—Does not know that this action is sanctioned by the company. Nor does he remember that any resolution to the effect that actions should be brought against any person or persons whose names should be mentioned was passed. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that after this evi dence the prospectus could be received. Mr. CROWDER then submitted that the case was not supported on the evidence, which did not in any way fix Mr. Gain. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that the view he had always taken of these cases was, that when a man said he would become a provisional committeemen, and authorised the company to issue his name in a pro spectus, in any character whatever, he must mean some thing by it. If he wished to be a committeeman it was strong evidence that he authorised the company to publish his name through the world in that character. He could take no judicial notice of the word provisional committeeman, but it had a meaning in the world, and the jury, looking at all the facts of the case, must form their judgment as to whether the defendant had ren dered himself liable to the plaintiff or to the public. Mr. CROWDER then contended that as there was an acting committee on and after the 14th of October, therefore, they were liable, and not the members of the provisional committee. The LouD C13112F Jusvtcn said that it was for the jury to decide. before him. and from them there WAS tiothirg for them find. It was a simple ;question of law, and in his opinion the plaintiff ought at once to be nonsuited ; or, if a verdict should be returned for the plaintiff, it should be with leave to enter the verdict for the de fendant. Mr. CROWDER the addressed the jury, and contended that as the plaintiff commenced work on the 30th of September, and the defendant did not join the provisional committee until the 14th of October, the plaintiff must have had some agreement stated or implied with other parties, and with which the defendant could have nothing to do. If the verdict were given against him in the pre sent case, Mr. Gain would be liable not only to the extent of 2034, but to the extent of 28,0001., the whole liabili ties of the company. He knew that Mr. Beckett, one of the managing men of the company, had struck out Mr. Gain's name, as he did not wish any tradesmen's names to be seen on the committee. When the committee was registered Mr. Gain's name was struck out, and notice of the erasure was given to him. He hoped that the jury would not sanction the injustice of compelling the defen dant to be liable to this ruinous extent. Mr. UDALL (who was with Mr. Crowder) then called Charles Russell, who stated that in the month of Oc tober, 1845, he was engaged as a copying clerk by Mr. Beckett. The defendant requested that his name should be put on the list of the provisional committee. Witness placed it on the list. It was not the act of the com pany. Afterwards saw Mr. Beckett strike out the defendant's name from the printed list, and inquire who he was. The name was struck out between the 13th and the Isth; believes it was the 14th. By Mr. CHANBERS—CannOt speak precisely to the day. Mr. Pritchard stated that he is one of the clerks to the register of the joint-stock company, He has the book containing the list of the provisional committee of the Lincolnshire and Eastern Counties Junction Rtilway Company. The registry was made on the 15th of Oc tober. There was a previous registry of the 22d of September. Mr. Gain's name is not in that registry. In the registry of the 15th of October Mr. Gain's name is printed, but is struck through with a pen. The con sents of all the other persons on the list to be provi sionally registered as committeemen are appended, but there is no consent of Mr. - Gain's to be on the provisions committee.• Mr. Beckett was then sworn—He stated that he was one of the solicitors to the company. He had to get up the lists of the provisional committee. Has in his possession the written consent of all the members of the provisional committee. Mr. Gain's name was put on the list by mistake, and was afterwards struck out. Witness never considered him to be on the committee. and has informed. the parties that the present action could not succ' ed. By Mr. CHAMBERS—Witness and his brother were the projectors of the scheme. The list was registered on the 22d of September, and in consequence of many additional names being entered it was again registered. Witness has brought an action for a bill for 3,0001. against Mr. Fisher, the owner of the Caxton Press, and one of, the principal tradesmen in the city of London. Witness has given an indemnity for 10,0001. to several gentlemen for using their names. Mr. CROWDER objected la this examination. Mr.: CHAMBERS said that as his friend argued that the provisional committeemen only gave their names to sanction the undertaking, and were not liable, he (Mr. Chambers) had a right to show that something more than a mere undertaking to sanction the line was consi dered necessary. He then addressed the jury in reply, and contended that when the insertion of Mr. Gain's name was sanctioned by the committee, Mr. Beckett had no authority to erase it, and that Mr. Gain was, to all intents and purposes, a committeeman. The L ORD C HIEF J USTICE, i n summ i ng u p, regretted, that if there were any solve%t persons connected with the company, that they had not been singled out, in stead of the defendant, who had been sued, as it ap peared to him, upon very slight grounds. The question for their consideration was whether the defendant had in any w a y ren d ered himself liable by causing himself to become one of the provisional committee. The de fendant had written to be placed upon the committee, and the question was, how far—taking all the circum stances of the case into consideration—he had so rendered himself liable. The jury, after a short consideration, returned a verdict for the defendant. Mr. MARTIN could not consent to the latter proposi tion ; he did not intend to call any witnesses. There was no case whatever to go to the jury. The LORD CHIEF BARON thought it was very clear from the Act that the promoter of a railway company could not sue any member of the provisional committee. It was lawful for the promoters to act as provisional com mitteemen ; and it was also lawful for the promoters to allot shares, and receive deposits, and pay the expense of the formation of the company. There was, however, no authority by which they could sue any member of the provisional committee for these expenses. ATTORNEY-GENERAL—AII person whose names are registered are taken as promoters. The Court has lately decided that the members of a provisional com mittee are not to be considered as partners in the concern. The LORD CHIVE BARON did not think that in the present case there was anything at all to go to the jury. In his opinion the case was perfectly clear. The plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited. Leave was then given to the Attorney-General to move to enter the verdict for the plaintiff, if the Court should be of opinion there was any evidence to go to the jury. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 7. WILSON V. LORD CURZON AND ANOTRER.-LIABILITY OE PROVISIONAL COMMITTEEMEN. This was an action in which the plaintiff sought to re cover the sum of 125 i for half a year's salary due to him as secretary to the Canterbury and Herne Bay Railway, from the defendants, members of the provisional com mittee. The Attorney-General and Mr. Hoggins appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Martin and another gentleman for the defendant. From the opening statements of the Attorney-Ge neral it appeared that the plaintiff was a civil engineer, and the projector of the company. He obtained the names of a number of influential individuals, among whom were Lord Curzon and Mr. Stuart, who was also a member of the provisional committee of the Thames Navigation Embankment Company. A provisional, committee was 'subsequently appointed, and one of their first acts was to appoint the present plaintiffthe secretary to the company at a salary of 250/. per annum ; and he was ordered to receive applications for shares in the company. Both of the defendants were present at the ! appointment of' the plaintiff, and at a subsequent meeting to consider the claims upon the company, they admitted the claims of the plaintiff for the sum of 125/. 'rhe above facts having been proved by witnesses caned' on the part of the plaintiff. there LORD CHIEF BARON said that in his opinion, was no evidence to go to the jury except the. facts . • TIIE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER, 8, 1846. The newspaper was put in, and admitted ; and the following witnesses examined as to the character of the plaintiff, and the identity of the plaintiff with the Dr. H- of the article: Richard Freeman. general medical practitioner at Plymouth. He knew the Royal Westera Yacht Club, and had belonged to it. He also knew the plaintiff; he was married, and had eight children. He believed he was a physician. He recollected the publication of the Plymouth Journal of the 12th of February last. He knew no one in Plymouth to whom the initial H could apply but Dr. floldsworth. Witness sent the paper to plaintiff, as he was sure it meant him alone. It was directed, to the best of witness's belief, against that gen tleman. _ Cross-examined—He was not aware that Dr. Holds worth bad ever practised. He only knew that he gave himself out as Dr. Holdsworth. He was not aware he had only put the name " Dr. Holdsworth" on the door plate since the publication of the alleged libel. Harry Snell, a chemist and druggist, Plymouth, de posed that he had made up prescriptions for Dr. Holds worth. He had received correct Latin prescriptions from Dr. Holdsworth before the date of the newspaper. Cross-examined—He might have dispensed thirty or forty prescriptions for Dr. Holdsworth b 4 fore February last. He could not, however, say how many. This was the case for the pl a i nt iff. Mr. COCKBURN then opened the case for the defence. He Said it would be his duty to justify the course taken the defendants in this case. They had heard it stated - that the plaintiff was a respectable man, but how could they come to that conclusion when it was known that a highly respectable and honourable club had unani mously expelled him after an anxious inquiry ; and when he (Mr. Cockburn) would prove, as prove he should, plaintiff given himself out as a physician, was a confirmed gambler, t prat risinghat no h t is only abrutts had tnha o tt t the n ly in Plymouth but elsewhere. It was said the defendants had written to gratify a morbid feeling in the public mind for strong articles, but this he denied. There was not the least evidence to show that any malice or ill-f ee l ing h a d b een di sp l aye d by the defendants in the arti c l e i n quest i on. A s pu bli c journalists, knowing the facts alle ge d to be true ; knowing that the highly respectable club had igno miniously expelledthe plaintiff, was it not the duty of them, as honest journalists, to warn the public against parties of such dangerous a n d di sreputa bl e c h aracter ? It was said the plaintiff was a member of a profession which they all respected, and they had heard something of his correct Latin prescriptions ; but OR that he would be prepared to show that he had not, at least, supported himself by that honourable profession. In order to do that he would have to trace the plaintiff's career since the year 1839. He would show that in 1839 he lived at Wilsden near Leicester, from which place he left deeply in debt, which debts had not been paid to the present hour; that he left Wilsden for Tours in France, where he associated with a person named M`Donald ; and that while there the plaintiff, M'Donald, and a person named Connolty were continually together at the gaming -table, working with each other, and mixed up with most disgraceful proceedings. The Learned Gentleman here gave the facts, which he intended to prove iu evidence. It was to the effect that Connolty had been convicted of marking and cheating at cards, and that, on the occasion, the plaintiff and M'Donald were acting with him in the matter. This Connolty was convicted for the same at Tours, and the sentence was confirmed by an appeal to a superior court, though, strange to say, he had the plaintiff and M'Donald to speak to his character. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to trace the plaintiff to Guernsey, where he got connected with a club, when again he was rejoined by M'Donald. Here again they got deeply engaged in gaming affairs, and were mixed with similar dis graceful proceedings to those at Tours, inveigling members of the club to play at ecarti at the plaintiff's and M'Donald's private lodgings, and there, by practised gamblers' tricks, c h ea ti ng th e p ar ties out of their money. While at Guernsey these two gentlemen had no visible means of subsistence, but seemed to live by victimizing all that came within their reach. They continued at Guernsey from the autumn of 1843 to 1844, when they went on a continental tour. They went to Baden, and again in a short time they returned to Guernsey, and wanted to get into the club, but Mr. M`Donald, who first claimed, admission, was blackballed by an immense majority. This arose from the discoveries made respecting these gentlemen at play. The Learned Gentleman having amplified on these points, went on to trace their proceedings till they arrived at Plymouth some time after, giving in the pro gressalist of the victims that had been made, whom he Something might start up in which a magistrate would have the opportunity of exercising his authority offi cially. The circular, it is proper to say, re,ernhien very strongly a notice preparcd by the notorious Richard Coster, whom Sir Peter Laurie contrived, by remark able perseverance and sagn,city4 to transport to New South Wales from the Mansion lious6. REMARKABLE TRIAL AT COLOGNE. The Criminal Court of Cologne sat, on the 2Sth nit to try M. Oppenheim upon an indictment for stealing a box from the Baroness de Meyendorff while at tht Hotel de Mayence, at Cologne, on her wa) from A:x la-Chapelle to Paris. The Baroness arrived at Cologne in the afternoon of August 21st ; and a few hours after her, alighted two gentlemen, who gave as their name. Kronecker, a merchant of Breslau, and Ullmann, a met chant of Berlin. Kronecker, immediately on his arrl"a made minute inquiries about the Baroness, particular as to the baggage she had brought with her, and also a: to the stay she meant to make. This stay was VIA \ short, as she intended to embark the next morning it tr, steam-boat going down the Rhine. At six in the mot It ing of the 22d all her packages were brought from het apartment into the passage, and left there wh her valet went into her with the bill of the land lord. When he returned with the money to pay it he a once missed from the heap of packages a small casks, which he knew to be of great value to his mistress. l immediately proclaimed the loss, and the people of tilt house of once recollected that the two travellers, Kro necker and Ullmann, had just taken their departure 4r a hackney-coach, and conceived that they might, lit mistake, have carried away the casket with their oa luggage. Esser, a man in the employ of the Baronet:: ran after the coach, but met it coming back empty. Thu coachman informed him that one of the gentlemen h,.. got out on the way, but that the other had alighted a: the railroad station. Esser followed the latter, at,,, found him in one of the carriages. On being esker. whether he had by mistake taken with him a caske that did not belong to him, he assured them that he had nothing with him but the paletot on his arm. AL, however, he was pale, and seemed agifatest Esser's suspicions were excited, and taking will , him a police officer, he went on by the saut train to Bonn. On arriving there, the baggage of tht traveller was found to consist of a small trunk, and ta sacs de nuit, which were seized ; but the traveller, wl had assumed the name of Ullmann, effected his escart On examining the contents of the trunk in the presenet of an officer, the casket was found in it intact, an,' among other things several innkeeper's bills, made ot,t in the name of Dr. Mendlesohn, a distinguished Prussia' advocate. In one of the bags was a portfolio cotainii4 letters and other papers, addressed to and bearing tilt name of M. Oppenheim, assessor of the Royal Court Berlin. In the beginning of October and November wi had several articles giving the details of this transaction from which it appeared that the travellers, under tilt names of Kronecker and Ullmann, were Dr. Mendlesoby and M. Oppenheim; that their object was only to recover from the Baroness a rent charge for her life of 25,0001 a year, granted by the Count de Hatzfeld, secured upot his estates, the consideration for which was state/ to be 250,000 f., and could only be fictitious, as thl Baroness was devoid of all means of advancing an' such sum. M. Oppenheim surrendered himself to jus Lice, and has now taken his trial. Dr. Mendlesohn ha• however, still remained at liberty, though, as our readers. will recollect, it was at one time thought that he wa: caught at Hebersthel, a small Prussian town on the frontier of Belgium ; but the captive turned out to bi Felix Mendelsohn, the celebrated Doctor of Music, but no Doctor of Laws. M. Oppenheim was arraigned not only for stealing the casket, but also for having wilful') torn, during his previous examination, four document: laid as evidence before the examining magistrate. Thew consisted of drafts of letters, which were, he maintained of a private nature, having no connexion with the matter in question. M. Oppeuheim, on being inter rogated by the President of the Court, avowed that he bad taken away the casket, but denied that it could be iva. puted to him as a crime, as he merely meant to get posses sion of an illegal deed of rent-charge, executed by Of Count de Hatzfeld, the husband of his client, the Coun tess de Hatzfeld, upon a fictitious consideration, to the great injury of her and her children ; and at the same time to avoid the scandal of a suit at law between hus band and wife. The President observed to M. Oppen heim that it appeared from his letters that one of his objects was to obtain some proofs of adultery against th' Count de Hatzfeld. The prisoner also admitted this, but declared that it was only a secondary consideration with him and the other advisers of the Countess. On tht second charge of tearing the documents before the exa mining magistrate, he maintained that he was not guilt) of any breach of the law, as they did not in any wise re. late to the matter in question. The Court then proceeded to the examination of witnesses. The first called war the Baroness de Meyendorff, but she did not appear. The rest of the witnesses were the valet and femme dc chambre of the Baroness, and the officers who arrested M Oppenheim, whose testimony went merely to the facts o! the taking away and recovery of the casket, and the ar rest of the prisoner, as before stated. M. Windschert. the registrar of mortgages at Dusseldorf, after pro testing against giving evidence of mortgages intrusted to his charge officially, objections that were overruled by the Court, was proceeding to give evidence, when the Procureur-General interposed, and admitted that in June last the Baroness de Meyendorff had contracted at Parii, by a notoriate act, to advance to the Count de Hatzfeld 250,000 fr. in purchase of a rent charge upon his estates, of 25,0b0fr. a year for her life, but that this contract had since been annulled. He then addressed the Court in support of the prosecution, and demanded a verdict of guilty on both counts.—The counsel for M. Oppenheim replied. In defence of the attempt stated he would produce in the witness-box, and the whole of whom, he said, would completely and trium phantly justify the article for which the plaintiff now sought to recover damages. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to call evidence. The case was adjourned. to gain possession of the grant of the rent charge. he gave an animated representation of the cir cumstances under which the attempt was made, and maintained that it could not be perverted into a robbery. He stated that the Countess de Hatz feld, the daughter of a Sovereign Prince of Germany, was married at the early age of sixteen to the Count—a marriage that was only the commencement of a life of misery. Even the birth of three children could not se cure her from the ill-treatment of her husband, and in 1833 she was obliged to separate herself from him, and go to live at Berlin with her two younger children. The Court instituted a suit for a divorce, but which she (the Countess) had defended with success. To persecute her, be had since deprived her of the society of her children ; and, by the deed of annuity to the Baroness de Meyen dorff, had attempted to rob them of part of their inherit ance. He ceased to pay the •Countess her stipulated almony, and put her daughter into a convent at Vienna, where she had been incarcerated for nine years. In 1840 a reconciliation took place, and the Countess returned to live with her husband. Differences soon again arose, and the Gaunt withdrew from her to his château of Schoeristein. She once more joined him, bat he imme diately after abandoned her and their children, and went to reside at Dusseldorf, leaving orders that she should be kept in the château as a prisoner. She was treated with disrespect by his servant& In 1841 her family interfered, and the Count was induced to sign a deed of separation, binding himself to allow her a certain in come, which, however, he never paid in full. In 184 he announced to his wife that he would never be recon ciled to her, and declared to his youngest son that if he remained with his mother he would lose for ever the protection of his father. She went to Berlin, and there learnt that the Count was living at Aix-la-Chapelle with the Baroness de Meyendorff, and, at the same time, gained information of the annuity deed, and a letter from the Count to the Baroness fell into their hands, containing the following passage:—" I believe I love you so much, because I never before loved any Woman. It is ` a Misfortune to love so well, when one is obliged to separate from the beloved object. I will make every sacrifice to get rid of that horrible woman. and 'then your future happiness will be secure." Upon this the Countess accompanied by a venerable priest, went to Aix-la-Chapelle, and after some discussion the Count promised to annul the annuity deed ; but on the follow mg day again repudiated his wife, and she returned from Aix-la-Chapelle ; •and the recovery of the deed, sup posed-to be in the hands of the Baroness was resolved upon. To prove that the consideration of 250,0001 r. could not be real, the counsel affirmed that neither the Baroness de Meyendorff nor her husband possessed any fortune whatnver, nor could the Count de Hatzfeld, with a revenue of 500,U00f. per annum, and enjoying an im mense credit, possibly want to borrow . any sum at the enormous rate of ten per cent. The learned counsel then entered upon the technical question of the robbery, and insisted that under. no law, human or divine, could the taking away the casket be considered as a crime. The second count of the indictment was argued against by another advocate, for M. Oppenheim. The usual replies were made, and the Judge summed up t he case with great clearness arid impartiality , leaving the deci sion to the,Jury, who, after retiring fo r ha lf an hour, returned and pronounced a verdict of Not Guilty. M. Oppenheim was immediately discharged out of custody. -The absence Ti OED lISHLEY. e this Noble Lord from the recent meetings i n Yorkshire and Lancashire, to promote the ten h ou ra factory agitation, has occa sioned some surprise i n this part of the country, an d has not, we believe, Lordship been s atisfactorily accounted f or , except that his Loer,. i s n ot willing to sur ren d er hi s d own judgment to the dictation of much less cool-headed men.—Leeds Mercury.

A clever attempt was made on Saturday evening by a well-dressed thief, to steal about 4001. worth of plate, the property of Mr. Johnson, the late Lord Mayor of London. One of Alderman Johnson's servants was employed in loading a cab, at the private door of the Mansion-house, with the goods of his master, and as soon as a chest of plate was deposited on the driver's box a man bustled into the vehicle suddenly and ordered the driver to set off for the Brighton railroad as quickly as possible. '1 he cabman, supposing that the person who gave him the order was duly authorised, began to turn his horse round, but, luckily, one of the attendants at thcMansion-house, %ho was assisting in packing up the goods, caught a glimpse of the cab, and called out to the driver that there was something more for him to carry. The thief inside immediately opened the door at the far side, upon being asked what he had to do with the property, and disappeared in a twinkling. Even the most experienced officers of the police admitted that the dexterity with which the experiment was made proved, that the candidate for the plate was a fellow of first-rate genius. WADDY V. DILLON AND OTHERS. This was also an action in which the question of provisional liability was raised. The plaintiff was the Parliamentary agent of the London and Manchester Direct Railway, and sought to recover a large sum of money due to him for professional services rendered during the early stages of the formation of this company. The defendants, seven or eight in number, were mem bers of the managing as well as the provisional com mittees of the London and Manchester Direct Railway. Mr. Montague Chambers and Mr. Bayley appeared for the plaintiff; the Attorney-General and Mr. noggins for the defendants. It appeared that the services rendered by the plaintiff to the company consisted in part of obtaining the names of good, influential, and first-rate persons as members of the provisional and managing committees of the railway in question. From the evidence called upon the part of the plain tiff, it appeared that he had recommended six persons to be elected as provisional committeemen. The late secretary of the company, who was called, stated that the plaintiff had sent in their names, and that some of them were elected. The application to become members of the Provisional Committee were so numerous that he was literally deluged with them, and he considered that the great object of the applicants was to obtain an allot ment of the shares. The LORD CHIEF BARON—Does the whole of the plaintiff's claim arise from printing these names? If so, I think the plaintiff must be nonsuited. Ar. M. CHAMBERS said that he would call other witnesses, who would depose to other professional ser vices rendered by the plaintiff. Another witness was accordingly called. The -LORD CHIEF BARON intimated that no further progress was being made by the evidence of that witness. Mr. M. CHAMBERS said that he could not go any further with his case. The plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited. E COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 7. HOLDSV/ORTH V. GIBSON AND OTHERS.-ALLEGED NBITS PAPER LIBEL. This was an action brought by Dr. Holdsworth, re siding at Plymouth, to recover from the proprietors of the Plymouth Journal damages for an alleged libel, which appeared in that paper on the 12th of February last, arising out of certain proceedings of the Royal Western Yacht Club. The damages were laid at 5,0001. Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Sergeant Channel, and Mr. Smith were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Cockburn, Mr. Green wood, and Mr. Hoggins were for the defendants. The defendants pleaded not guilty, and also that the charges put forth in the alleged libel were true. Sir F. THESIGER opened the case on behalf of the plaintiff. The action, he said, was brought against the proprietors of the newspaper in question after the most careful anxiety and consideration. Unless he had done so, he could not have again held up his head in society. In order to meet the charge the defendant, not content with denying the libel, had declared on the record that the charge was true. With regard to the plaintiff, the consequences of the trial were most important. If the verdict goes for the defendant the consequences to the plaintiff would be most disastrous ; whereas, should it go for the plaintiff, it would be but little reparation for the injury done, while the defendant in that case would, in all likelihood, not sell a single newspaper the less. The plaintiff in the action is a physician, a married man with eight children, who, in 1845, established himself in practice at Plymouth, and, up to the time of the unfortunate circumstance which led to the present action, had been much respected. Shortly after settling in that town he get elected into the Royal Yacht Club. In the month of February, in the present year, some circumstances arose in connexion with that club which led to the calling together of a general meeting of its members. A discussion took place, and the result was the blackballing of the plaintiff and another member. This was a matter unfor tunate enough in itself, but the matter did not rest here. In a few days there appeared in the newspaper in: question an article reflecting in the strongest manner on the character of the plaintiff The public, it was said, liked strong meat in newspapers, and this, no doubt, was the cause of the article in ques tion being penned and published. That article was so gross and libellous that no course remained to the plaintiff, unless he would allow his character to be for ever blasted, but to bring this action. In order to put the jury in possession of the libel at the earliest possible period, he would read it. (The Learned Gentleman then read the alleged libel from the Plyniouth Journal of Feb. 12 : " ROYAL WESTERN YACHT CLUB. "COURT OF HONOUR. " EXPULSION OF TWO BLACKLEGS. "For some time past circumstances of suspicion had attached to two members of this club, owing to two gentlemen having been plucked at the residence of one of the suspected members in a manner that seemed to indicate foul play. One of the party was fleeced to the amount of 1,0701. in one evening at cards, and the other gentle man lost about 200(. In the case of the first gentleman that we have alluded to the parties were betting on the turn-up card, and his op ponents managed to turn up a king nine times running. All these circumstances led to suspicion—that suspicion led to inquiry—and the inquiry has resulted in the expulsion of the two suspected per sons, and of one of them suddenly leaving the town. " A short time ago a person known to be a confidante of the ex pelled parties sought admission int* the club. Ills name was O'Brien. He gave a crack entertainment a few days before he was to be elected, as he thoaght, and his party was graced by almost all the rank and fashion of the neighbourhood. lie was going to make his entree into the club in grand style. Two or three days afterwards he stood the ballot, and was blackballed I The next morning he bolted, and some of the poor tradesmen had to lament the character of his fashionable entertainment, and the great desire be had for display. " The talk and excitement that this blackballing occasioned was very great. Other gentlemen wins stood the ballot about the same time trembled lest the same fate might await them, especially as one black ball in seven excludes any who may seek admission. Sub sequent events prove that the course thus adopted with regard to Mr. O'Brien was a very judicious and wise one. " The events that we have described led to an inquiry into the character of a Mr. M—, who lived near the club, and into that of Dr. ll—. Both those persons were citizens of the world ; we can not learn whence they Game or whither they are going. On the 29th ult. the secretary of the club, Walter Lormer, Esq., by order of the committee, issued a circular, summoning a special general meeting of the members on Thursday, the sth inst., at noon, when informa tion forwarded to the committee from Tours, relative to the conduct of two members of the club, would be laid before them. The members of the club generally knew what the object of the meeting was, and Jherefore on Thursday last there was an ex ceedingly large attendance, there being nearly eighty members present. W. H. Hanker, Esq., was voted into the chair. Pre viously to reading the report of the committee, and the documents mentioned therein, Mr. John Beer, of Devonport, rose to inform the meeting that he had been consulted professionally, and that he attended th; meeting as the professional - aciviser of the two persons implicated. It was then put to the meeting, whether a pro. fessional man could appear there, and it was negatived unanimously and decidedly. _ . _ " The history of their movements, as detailed to the meeting from sources beyond all doubt, was this—They were said to hare been connected in a notorious gambling transaction with Mr. Connelty at Tours--that of marking cards—in which a French officer was made to suffer most severely. Mr. Connolty was tried at Tours, and then he removed the trial to a higher court at Blois, and again into a higher court at Orleans, and had decisiong against him in all cases, and he was for the offence imprisoned two years. There was then a charge ,against them of malpractices in play at . Guernsey, where they were ejected from the Civil and United Service Club—all of which, will be more amply detailed in the letter of which we shall give a copy presently. Thus the eircumstances that have occurred, which were not in the club, but by means of their connexion with it, were also stated. " When these circumstances were known Mr. Bonner sent a letter to them, suggesting the propriety of their withdrawing. They replied to this by requesting to know what charges there were against them. The secretary sent a copy of the charges, to which they ma 'e no reply. " On the meeting deciding that they would not hear a professional man, Mr. Beer and their proposer sent for them. The club waited for one hour and a half in order that they might offer any defence that they felt necessary. They, however, made no appearance, and sent back no answer, though one of them was seen from the window Of the room walking about. " The letter received by the secretary from Guernsey, in answer to inquires was as follows : 'The affair that took place in this island, with reference,to these two black-legs, was this :—They had got themselves introduced Into a club lately - formed, called The Civil and United Service. Several strange occurrences had taken place in and out of this club, Large sums of money were lost. Suspicion was afloat. They quitted and went to Baden. Something drove them out of that place, and they returned here. M-- came back first, and wished to re enter the club, but he was blackballed, and M--, out of this occur rence, assaulted a highly respectable gentleman, for which he was sent to gaol for a fortnight. Shortly after this, a person from Paris came here to arrest him, and he stowed himself away in his house, which overhung the sea, and whi u the iethepio as lic t wew•ekrenowof him. watching h outside he let himself into a boat , and that " Yon are in the right direction—Tours You may go to Ireland S a w lso in — dl iip ng pera i r i 3 o - , m l atdheinka bolt, and similar way that he did oat of this place. as and b g ro ot ug o h u t t o b f efo lr r e e la t t h id e i C n ou a rt so t m lit e r w e h fo at r " I hope that my friends at Plymouth have not been fleeced. " ' Mr. Lormer—You have been asleep at your post. " • Had I had the least supicion that these chaps would have had the impudence to introduce themselves at your club, I should have felt it a duty that I owed to have gone to Plymouth at my own cost to have put you on your guard.' " The letter and evidence having been read, and the members having walled till endurance could wait no longer, the meeting pro ceeded to ballot under the 11th rule, which provided that, In case any circumstances should occur injurious to the welfare and charac ter of the club, the committee shall call a general meeting, giving seven days notice, and in the event of two-thirds of the members present voting (by ballot) that the name of any member shall be removed from the list, the subscription of that member for tee cur rent year shall be returned, and he shall cease to be a member.' The result of the ballot was a most awful affair. At the time of the vote being taken a number of gentlemen had left, the proceedings having lasted three hours:— For Dr. H- Mr. M 2 ; against 50 " Mr. M— has since lett the town, but the Doctor remains. "We think the inhabitants are under the greatest obligations to 1 the members of the committee and to the club generally, for the prompt and determined manner in which they obtained evidence respecting these men, and acted upon it. They had introduced themselves into the society of every respectable stranger who visited the town, with what intentions we leave our readers to determine The clue is not likely to be impaired through having had two or three black sheep in it. It still maintains its high and respectable character, and the honourable way in which it has vindicated itself from this possible stain will redound to its credit rather than detract from it. The club is of great public utility, it affords excellent literary qualifications to those of Its members who desire to avail themselves of them, and it must be a source of pleasure to its friends to know that there are fifteen new candidates to be ballotted for at the meeting on Friday next." The Learned Gentleman then went on to show that the Dr. represented could mean no other than the plaintiff ; that the other party named in the libel was a Mr. M'Donald, and that the greatest injury had been inflicted on the character of his client. Having ampli fied on these points, he proceeded to prove his case. SURREY SESSIONS. The trial of Thomas Foulkes and Henry Foulkes, his brother, omnibus proprietors, indicted for committing an assault ei a violent character on W. H. Balls (continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday). Mr. CHARNOCK then called Mr. Bicknell, who proved the draft and execution of the agreement, and several other witnesses, to show that the nature of the assault had been much exaggerated. Mr. ROBINSON replied at considerable length, resting chiefly on the right of the prosecutor to retain the omnibus, as one of the authorised persons of the Court of Bankruptcy. The CHAIRMAN, in summing up said, that there was no doubt whatever but that a violent assault had been committed, and the chief consideration for the jury was, whether it was or was not justifiable. It appeared,that there were two liens on the omnibus, to which allusion had been made One of these was held by Mr. Rutland, the officer, and the other by Balls as the agent of the Court of Bankruptcy, and much stress was to be laid upon the respective times when these two liens were waived. Rutland haflexid,ently given up his in the presence of Balls when the two- brothers Foulkes went to take away the Omnibus. That Balls did not give up his was shown 41*, conduct ; and th e w h o l e case turne d upon the point whether he was legally right. He was right if he was properly authorised by the Court of Bankruptcy, of which, indeed, there did not appear to be any sufficient proof, but of this the jury were to be the judges. If he was not properly authorised the as sault was justifiable, and the prisoners ought to be acquitted. The trial lasted from the opening of the circuit till nearly the close of the proceedin.gs of the day, and, after much consideration in the box, the jury were locked up, not seeming likely to agree very speedily on their verdict. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. THE BOSANQUET AND WIGRAH GANG OF SWIND LERS.—A clergyman waited upon the Lord Mayor for the purpose of asking his Lordship's advice as to the most judicious mode of bringing to justice the swindling vagabonds who are in the habit of sending circulars round to tradesmen, offering money for bills. He had been induced by one of these circulars to apply to Messrs. Bosanquet and Co., as some of the squad called them selves, for cash for a bill of 1001. He deposited the bill with them, and was told to call next day. He did call, and he received 51., with an assurance that he should have all the rest a day or two after, but every subse quent application was unsuccessful. He never received a shilling more, and the bill, which he had no doubt was in circulation, would soon be due. The LORD MAYOR said that doubtless the bill would, if it should not be paid, be placed in the hands of some solicitor employed by the swindlers, and the applicant be sued upon it. He had within a few days received a vast number of letters from tradesmen in England Ire land and Scotland, inclosing copies of the principal cir culars offering pecuniary accommodation. The offer s were made by these fellows with the view of getting cvoere spectableruynt:aslye a b tv i o l i l n s gtu i i:nnotof suchth course, to a d vantageous ac count, possession, and th ey f oun d i t the injudi c i ous part i es w h o confided in them to pay them, or to bear the disagree responsibility. Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk) produced a bundle of letters containing circulars, some of which were signed Bosanquet and Co., factors and commission brokers, John-street, London-fields, London ; Messrs. Charles and Henry Shaw, Albany-road, London ; W. and C. Hat,bury and Co., factors and commission brokers, Boston -street, Shoreditch ; Messrs. H. Franklin and Co., factors and commission brokers ; W. and J. An derson, Old Kent-road, &c. The LORD MAYOR said he had ascertained that the gang had most extraordinary:ramifications throughout London, and that in many instances they succeeded. The plan had been carried on for a number of years, and with extraordinary pertinacity. In consequence of the notice already taken by the press of what he had stated with respect to the swindlers, he knew that many an inexperien ce d person h a d esca p e d the snare, and he hoped the circulars i ssue d b y all the persons were p r e c i se ly the exposure would be continued, similar. He thought it would be serviceable to quote a few : liiieseaddressed to tradespeople in the country ; " enuntrYcorrespondents who may require bills of ex hge toLmake p a y ments w ith, occa sionally in the c ofhnsiness, or to ma k e rem it tances an d p a y me nts e t: ua f l'ile r n iends:at a distance, can be accommodated with most respectable acceptances, at any date, and in any amount most suitable for their purpose ; of course these bills will generally be upon houses in the City, as usual, when their address or occupation will be found in a London Directory ; or who may wish to have a house or two in London entirely to themselves, to accept for thew, or draw bills upon at their convenience, may have the same arranged in a quiet and most respectable manner, either by letters of credit or otherwise. As the most important consideration in transacting this business is strict punctuality on both sides, in remitting respectable bills when written for on the one hand, and providing cash for payment of them when due on the other, an honourable attention to this on both sides cannot fail to remove any prejudice which might otherwise exist against bills conducted upon this prin ciple. We speak from daily experience, the charac ter and respectabili t y o f t h e par ti e s accepting the bills, will at all times bea r th e s t r i c t es t inquiry. It is parti cularly requested, if t hi s c i rcu l a r is of no im mediate service it may not b e s h own un l ess to a confidentia l a nd respectable friend, whose objeet it is likely to serve, or you might wish to ava il yo u rself of this assistance upon some future occasion, as it, is not multiplieity of business we want, but respectability, and on the safe, quiet, mercantile manner which our friends have now for so many years appr ove d o f ; an d by pursuing the same course in future to m er it a con tinuance of that respect able support which w e h ave already experienced and which it will be our s t u d y t o deserve." Mr. Goodman said the only course which appeared to him to be of any efficacy, under the present circum stances, WftB exposure through the press. 13,Y-8,144,by THE POOR REMOVAL ACT. - - - - The following circular has been issued by the Poor law Commissioners to the clerks of boards of guardians: " Poor-law Commission-office, Somerset House, December 4, 1846. _ _ . "Sir,—the attention of the Poor-law Commissioners has been directed to certain cases in which it is alleged that relief has been either wholly refused or inadequately supplied, by boards of guardians, to poor persons who, through the operation of the late statute relating to the removal of the poor, have now become irremovable from parishes in which they were resident, though settled elsewhere. " The Commissioners believe that this conduct has, In part, resulted from an erroneous supposition that poor persons so circumstanced are not entitled to relief in the parishes where they , reside. " The Commissioners desire to impress upon the guardians that a long course of authorities, consisting of legal decisions and the opinions of the ablest text writers upon this subject, has established the rule, that the poor are to be relieved, as their necessities require, in and by the parish where they are resident. "Indeed, the proposition that the poor who happen to be destitute in any particular place are not to be re lieved these by the officers who have the administration of the relief, until it is ascertained that they are settled there, or are casual poor, or that some other parish is under a legal liability to repay the relief, is so contrary to all established principles upon the subject, that the Commissioners have only thus adverted to it because they are informed that such a doctrine 17.1precently been circulated, and may have influenced some of the boards of guardians in their course of action. " The Commissioners have already, in their circular letter of the 20th of October last, pointed out, that no difference ought to be made in the treatment of the two classes of paupers settled, and paupers simply irremov able, with reference to the nature, quantity, or quality of relief administered to them. " The Commissioners admit, indeed, that the cases of the non-settled poor may, for the most part, require to be carefully considered by the boards of guardians, who, by the operation of this statute, are called upon to re lieve them, because it may be found that the relief here tofore supplied by a distant authority has been inappli cable, either in kind or quantity, to the party requiring it, or that the case has not been sufficiently investigated. "If, therefore, the guardians direct a careful inquiry to be made into the circumstances of the parties and the actual necessities of the cases with a view simply of satis fying themselves as to the proper relief to be admistered, and on receiving the result of such inquiry proceed to administer the relief as they would do under similar cir cumstances in respect to a settled pauper in their union, no objection can be made to their proceedings. But if any difference be, made for the purpose of compelling the paupers, now irremovable, to seek relief in other parishes, it is clear that the course will be generally adopted by unions and parishes as a matter of self-defence, and that great suffering and hardship to the poor must ensue. "There can be no doubt that such a course of pro ceeding is at variance with the spirit of the recent statute, which assumes that the irremovable poor, so long as their residence remains unchanged, will be relieved in the same manner, and on the same terms, as the settled poor. "I am desired to revest the guardians to point out to the relieving-officers the effect of these observations, and to warn them that the Commissioners will consider any neglect of the poor who may be resident within their re spective districts, although not settled therein, equally culpable with the neglect of the settled poor, and will not hesitate to treat any refusal of relief to the irremovable poor, on the ground of their settlement elsewhere, as a gross violation of their duty. "The Commissioners wish to advert to one other point, namely, the continuance of non-resident relief. In the observations which they have made in their circular letter of the 17th September last upon this subject, they have not advised the guardians to discontinue the relief in cases where the non-resident paupers are removable. They desire it to be understood tha . ,, they by no means recommend an'indiscriminate withdrawal of such relief. They believe that the board 4 of guardians may find it desirable, in many cases in which the statute does not apply, to continue that relief, Rnd the Commissioners do not consider that it would be unlawful for them to adopt this course, although it may not be advisable now to allow it for the first time even in cases where it would not be unlawful.

WATERSPOUT.—it is not frequent that those ter rible things, waterspouts, spend their powers upon land. Like the petrel, a stray one, however, is occasionally caught on the hills, and, bursting, deluges the plains that lie below. On, the night of the 19th ult. one of these watery visitants expended itself on the hill above Inver rsorriston House. The noise was awful ; and before the cause could be conjectured—for in the darkness the cloud could not be descried—the rivulets had become changed into headlong, red, and destructive torrents. Trees were torn from their roots by the sudden and powerful inundation, and the ledges of two bridges were carried away by the Invermerriston burn. At one place it made a new channel for itself. Th,.t houses on the banks were inundated, and considerable alarm was felt by the people.—lnverness Courier. THE WINTER ASSIZES.—Mr. Justice Cresswell and Mr. Justice Vaughan Williams, the Judges ap pointed to preside at our winter assize, will open the commission for the county and city at York, this day (Saturday).
