THE REV. JAMES SHORE AND THE BISHOP OF EXETER. The following statement of facts respecting this case of eccletl;stical oppression has just been made public : The Roy. J. Shore was, in the year 1832, appointed minli ter of a chapel at Bridgetown, in the parish of Berry Pomery, Devon, then lately erected by the Duke of Somerset ; and havine , received a nomination from the Bev. J. Edwards, then vicar of the parish, he was licensed, by the Bishop of Exeter, to officiate in the chapel, which was not consecrated, but was opened as a chapel in connexion with the Established Church, under the license of the same Bishop. In April, 1834, Mr. Edwards died, the Rev. E. Browne was inducted to the living, and Mr. Shore continued to officiate in the chapel without any fresh nomination being required by the Bishop or given by the Incumbent. In the year 1843, Mr. Brown (the Vicar) wishing to exchange the living of Berry Pomeroy for another, obtained the consent of the Duke of Somerset to the arrangement, and in Sep tember, 1843, the Rev. W. B. Cosens was inducted to the living on the presentation of the Duke of Somerset. Shortly after the induction of Mr. Cosens, the secretary of the Bishop of Exeter informed Mr. Shore that it was necessary for him to obtain a nomination from the new vicar, and that unl-its he obtained it his license would be withdrawn. Mr. Cosens refusing to give the nomination, the chapel was closed in October 1843, and after many attempts to procure from the Bishop and' Mr. Cosens an arrangement of the affair, the chapel was, in the month of _February, 1844 (after an interval of nearly six months), by the direction of the Duke of Somerset, certified in the Archdeacon's Court of Totnes, as a place for religions worship of Protestants, under the provisions of the Toleration Acts, and Mr. Shore resumed his dutie s as th e m i n i ster of the chapel, conducting the services nearly in accordance with the forms of the Church of England as before. On the 13th of March, 1844, Mr. Sh ore was serve d w i th a document, withdrawing his license, whereupon a correspondence ensued between Mr. Shore and the Bishop, in which Mr. Shore stated that he could no longer conform to the discipline of the Church of England, and had se ceded from the establishment ; and requested to be informed if anything more was necessary to complete the separation which he desired. To this inquiry he received only evasive replies. Mr. Shore then having consulted his legal advisers, took the oaths, &c., required by the Toleration Acts, and qualified himself in a way it had never before been denied a clergyman could do, to preach and teach as a protestant dissenting Minister. But the Bishop of Exeter would not permit an evan gelical clergyman thus to throw off his yoke, carrying , with him his church and a large congregation, and ac cordingly commenced legal proceedings in the Eccle siastical Courts. After a Commission, under the Church Discipline Act, had sat on the case at Totnes (at which Mr. Slim appeared under protest), and had reported, in the firstrinstance, that Mr. Shore was liable to punish ment as a clergyman disobeying his Bishop, Mr. Shore was cited in the Arches Court, and he appeared to such citation under protest. This protest, although ably argued by Sir John Dobson (the Queen's Advocate) and Dr. Twiss, for Mr. Shore, was overruled by the Judge, and Mr. Shore assigned to appear absolutely. He did so, and prayed articles. These exhibit and charge no other fault or crime, but that Mr. Shore was, at the time of exhibiting such articles, a priest in holy orders of the Church of England, and that being such, he, "on the 14th April, 1844, and 28th July, 1844, took upon him to read prayers, preach, administer, (to wit on the 28th July, 1844) the Holy Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, and perform ecclesiastical duties and divine offices, according to the rites and ceremonies of the United Church of England and Ireland, in the said un consecrated chapel or building, situate in the said parish of Berry Pomeroy, in the county of Devon, &c., without any license or authority for so doing, and contrary to, and in spite of, the aforesaid injunction or monition of the said Bishop of Exeter." To this Mr. Shore presented to the Court a responsive allegation, setting forth the license of the chapel as a dissenting place of worship, and his having taken the oaths, &c., &e., under the Toleration Acts, the protection of which he claimed against this prosecution. This question was ably urged in the Court of Arches, by Sir J. Dobson and Dr. Twiss for Mr. Shore, but the allegation was dismissed. Mr. Shore thereupon in Michaelmas term last, moved, by Sir F. Kelly, for a prohibition in the Queen's Bench, to restrain the Arches Court from proceeding further with the case. A rule nisi was then grranted, and in Hilary Term this question was ably and fully argued - by the late Attorney-General, Dr. Adams and Mr. Montague Smith, for the Bishop, and Sir F. Kelly, Mr. Sergeant Manning and Dr. Twins for Mr. Shore ; and in the term following, Lord Denman pro nounced judgment, discharging the rule, notwithstanding the able and energetic arguments of Mr. Shore's counsel, and deciding that no clergyman could voluntarily quit the establishment ; and Mr. Shore was consequently driven back to the Court of Arches, where he has been sentenced to abstain from again preaching, &c., and to pay the costs. At the commencement of this unprece dented prosecution, a committee of the friends of civil and religious liberty in Totnes, and its neighbourhood, was formed, and consideri ng th a t th e great quest i on of religious liberty was directly assailed in this attack on Mr. Shore, they determined to support him in resisting to the utmost this unconstitutional invasion of religious rights, and set about raising subscriptions. These, at present, we hear, amount to about 2001., but Mr. Shore has already incurred upwards of 4001. for his own ex penses, and as he was determined, with the advise of his counsel, and at the request of the committee, to proceed yet further, a largr amount will be required.— Wes Briton. THE SHUTTING UP OF HIGH• LAND PASSES. (From the Glasgow Argus.) We are glad to see that the illegal attempt of the Duke of Leeds to shut up the pass to Glen Lui Beg, amid the Cairngorm mountains, has excited so much at tention throughout England an Scotland. There has been a growing disposition for some years, on the part of great Highland proprietors, and the English sports men to whom they let their shootings, to exclude the people from the mountain paths, to which the people have as clear a right as any landlord has to his estate. Fortunately, this last attempt of the Duke of Leeds, and the odd defence made for it by the Duke and his eccentric friend, Mr. Grantley Berkeley, have put matters in such a train as will bring the question to a speedy issue. The Duke of Athol, imitating his southern compeer, has, it seems, determined to close Glen Tilt, which he has no more right to do than any Mr. Smith or Mr. Jones of London has to take possession of the best bed-room or drawing-room of Dunkeld House. These great Nimrods have yet to learn the great fact, that in the eyes of the law their fondly cherished deer are not "game," but " vermin "—a fact which was very dearly proved not many months ago, to the great discomfiture of a Ross-shire laird, whose deer were very summarily dispatched by a lowland farmer, now settled in Ross-shire, in whose turnip fields they had made depredations more extensive than welcome. They have yet to learn an equally indisputable fact, that no landlord has any right of exclusion over the wilder ness. Waste land, if not free for the plough and the spade is free for the foot ;—at least there are very good lawyers who maintain so, and any doubts that may exist upon the question will soon be set at rest. The right of way is in England a right most dear to the people—a right which the common law has ever enforced. One John Lewis, a brewer of Richmond, tried this right against the influence of the whole Royal Family of Eng land, and beat it triumphantly. The Princess Amelia, daughter of George the Third, was ranger of the Royal Park at Richmond, and thought fit to shut up a footway that had been used by the inhabitants from time imme morial. Her father and all his court supported her. The brewer, backed by the people of Richmond resisted the oppression ; and after a long suit, vexatiously defended, won the cause. The Scottish law is not less clear and de cisive. If there is not public spirit enough in the few Highlanders yet left amid the magnificent glens and mountains of Perth and Aberdeenshire to re sist these autocratic deer preservers, there is sufficient among the tourists of England and other parts of the world to try the point. It will not be difficult to found an association for the preservation of the rights of way, and to depute half a-dozen sturdy pedestrians next season to force the passes, if need be. We fancy the Dukes and their gamekeepers will be rather shy of laying forcible hands upon any pedestrians sent upon such a mission ; and we would advise the instant formation of a society for this very purpose. It will be well supported ; and funds will not be waning for a cause so noble. We invite the co operation of sight-seers, of the admirers of the grand and the beautiful in nature, as well as of the friends of popular rights in this cause. Such a society would soon bring the Dukes to reason, and show them that what roy alty could not do for a few acres of ground in Surrey aristocracy shall not do for whole counties in Scotland. MEMORIAL AGAINST THE ASSOCIATION OF ARCII AND STATUE.—If Lord Morpeth and the Government were sincere, when they stip u l a t e d t h at i f the appear ance of the Wellington colossus on the arch was not satisfactory to competent persons, after being "on liking " for three weeks, it should come down—down, unquestionably, it must come. We would suggest that a respectful protest against its continuance on the arch, addressed to her Majesty, should be forthwith drawn up for signature, and should lie, during a specified time, at some public place for that purpose. The accom plished professor (Cockerell), whose personal protest we commented on a short time since, would but perform a duty he owes the public were he to imitate this mea. sure, and would thereby entitle himself to the thanks of every lover of art, and of every man jealous for the re putation of England in matters lof taste.— The Builder. ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF CAMPERDOWN. —Monday last being the 49th anniversary of this glorious battle, which gave the first check to the hitherto irresistible prowess of revolutionary France, and anni hilated the fleet which Napoleon had destined for the subjugation of Great Britain, was celebrated at Cam perdown, the seat of the Earl and Countess of Camper down. A large party of the friends and connexions of the family assembled on the occasion. Among the dis tinguished visitors were Admiral the Marquis of Tho mond, Viscount and Viscountess Duncan, Sir Henry and Lady Johnstone and family, the Lady H. Allen, Sir Hew D a l rymple, Sir John Ogilvie,&c. The party sat down to a sumptuous entertainment at seve n o ' c l oc k. The dinne r t a bl e and sideboard s oards were o rnamente d with the splendid service of gold plate bel ong i ng to the family. The large s u i te of rooms distinguished open. In the saloon, round the portrait of the 13.stinguished Admiral were displayed the colours of the teh fleet, and in the grand staircase hangs the celebrated fleet, by Copley (father of Lord Lyndhurst), r e p in fall-length his sword to portraits Admiral de Winter delive e rl t , i ol : , the victorious Duncan.

In the earl those of the visitors who were fond of y the sporthseopfatrhke. field enjoyed the amusement of a battue Upwards of 190 head of game were broltingtht home within four hours, chiefly consisting of pheuants. COMMERCE AND COMMERCIAL RELATIONS WITH SWITZERLAND. Statistical science has at length been more directed in the Helvetic federation to the investigation an ' clas sification of positive industrial facts. To the depressed state of some branches of Swiss industry we owe the re port of a commission of practical men, appointed for the purpose of investigating the causes of depression, and, if possible, of suggesting the means of remedy or of preven tion for the future. With an intelligent impartiality, the protectionist party was admitted by its representa tives into the commission. We find that a minority of members dissented from the free trade laissez faire re port laid before the diet by the majority. That report, however, was fully affirmed in its conclusions and princi ples by the Diet. As a well-written, ably-reasoned do cument, it is highly creditable to M. de Gonzenbach, Se cretary of State to the Confederation, and a distinguished economist, to whom was committed the task of preparing it. Although in some respects not so complete in its statistical details and information as might be wished, the returns embodied in it will establish, for the first time, a basis from which the industrial statistics or Switzerland may start, and hereafter be gradaally per fected, like those of other neighbouring or advanced countries. We proceed briefly to notice some of the chief points and figures relating to textile industry. Of the various manufactures, that of cotton ranks first in the order of importance. The first spinning factories date, it is said, from the continental system of Bonaparte. We are rather inclined to question the accuracy of this statement, for we have heard, on competent authority in Lancashire, that some, if but few, spinneries were esta blished in Switzerland before that period. One of the oldest cotton spinners, if not the oldest, yet living in Lancashire, a contemporary of Sir Richard Arkwright, Sir Robert Peel, &c., who was largely concerned in the supply of cotton yarn to the Swiss markets, assured us some short time since that he had an offer made, about the year 1795 or 1796, as nearly as we can recollect— say ten years or more before the continental system—to undertake the establishment of a large cotton mill, to be built, filled with the best machinery,- and conducted under his own superintendence, with a large allowance for management, in addition to one half-share of the profits, for which a capital of 100,0001. was to be supplied by, or under the guarantee of, the Government of the Canton of, we believe, St. Gall. From patriotic motives, and himself largely embarked in spinning and mercantile concerns, with the interests of which it might have in terfered, he declined the offer. But he had the means of knowing, through his travellers and agents, that factories, though certainly on a much smaller scale, then existed in Switzerland. The continental system communicated, doubtless, a powerful impulse to the spread of the factory system. There were, according to the report of the Commission, in Switzerland, in 1844, 131 spinneries, of which 70 were in the canton of Zurich, turning 660,001) spindles, and producing 160,000 quintals of cotton yarn. The imports of raw cotton for their supply had for several years been in constant progression: in 1842, the last year cited, the quan tity was 228 , 0 00 quintals.The number of factory operatives employed was upwards of 10,000 Of power-loom factories there were eighteen, in which yarn was worked up into 100,000 pieces yearly. But the far larger portion of the fabrics was still woven by hand, in common looms, of which there were not far from 100,000. The canton of Zurich alone reckoned from 18,000 to 20,000 hand-loom weavers, who wove each year nearly 1,000,000 of pieces of all kinds. The situation of the hand-loom weavers was, however, becoming very precarious, in consequence of the fearful competition of the power-loom. Their wages had fallen to 16 batzen per week, or less than 2s. On such a miserable pittance it was not possible long to exist. The remedy looked to wa3 in the extension of power loom works, and their gradual absorption of the desti tute hand-loom labour, or the exclusive transference of the labour to the fabrication of fancy tissues, which could not be so easily executed by power looms. Jacquard looms had recently been introduced into several cantons and it was hoped that the operative crisis in the cotton manufacture might thus by degrees be alleviated and pass away. Next after cotton ranks the silk manufacture. It em ploys about 40,000 workpeople. Silk-worms are culti vated in the cantons of the Grisons and the Tessin, which yield a product of about 50,000 pounds (the Swiss is rather more than the English pound) of silk. The quantity of raw silk, and of silk, and half silk fabric im ported besides, was, in 1842, 28,300 ; and, in 184', 29,900 quintals. In piece-goods, the manufacture is chiefly in plain silk, from the strongest taffetas to the lightest fabrics. The ribband manufacture, the chief seat of which is at Basle, although largely extended also in Berne, Soleure, Argovia, Thuringia, and Zurich, is, however, the principal branch of silk industry, and en joys a great repute. Exported to Paris, the ribbands of Basle are so alike to the finished products of Lyons and St. Etienne, as not unfrequently, it is said, to be pur chased and re-exported to Switserland, as the choice fa brics of those famous places. The manufacture of flax and hemp, although no longer of the same consideration as formerly, was not, and is not, without importance. The raw material for working is amply produced in the cantons ; flax is grown in Berne and Argovia, and hemp everywhere. But flax-spinning machinery was operating the same revolution in the linen as had been similarly accom plished through the same causes in the cotton manufac ture. Flax was no longer spun by the Swiss female peasantry, except for household use. Foreign machine spun yarns were imported from all parts, but particularly from England. The imports of linen and hempen yarns and fabrics amounted, in 1842, to 14,600 quintals, and in 1843 to 14,000. The transition from spinning by hand to machine spinning was a great diffi culty in the way of the establishment and extension of flax-spinning mills, and, again, Swiss linen f a b r i cs were repulsed by the prohibitive duties of all the bordering states. But several spinning mills had been established, and every confidence was felt that the linen manufacture would progress and prosper like that of cotton. The woollen manufacture occupies the least important place in the textile industry of Switzerland ; it is far from sufficing, indeed, for domestic consumption. Flocks of the ovine race are extremely rare, and agriculture furnishes but a small quantity of raw material, and that is worked up in the places where produced. The greater part of the wool consumed is imported from Hungary, Bohemia, Wirtemberg, and Italy. Each can ton possesses one or several manufactories of wool. There are twelve in the canton of Zurich, employing 500 or 600 workmen. The quantity of wool imported in 1843 was 13,000 quintals, a portion of which, however, only enters the country in transit. But the consump tion of Switzerland still requires, in addition to the home manufactured products, a large importation of foreign -made woollen fabrics ; in 1843, more than 28,000 quintals were thus imported. The report refers with just pride to the fact of the wealth and well-being which such an extent of consumption implies. The workmen of the towns, and the peasantry of the country are always seen well clothed ; there is not the humble proprietor of the most modest cottage who has not, be sides his holiday suit, good and warm clothing for work days, and who does not renew it often. EXTENSIVE BURGLARY AT BRIGHTON. A burglary was committed on Thursday night, or Fri day morning, on the premises of Mr. Morganti, jeweller, 50, Grand-parad, and property to a large amount car ried off. It seems that Mr. Morganti retired to rest on Thursday night soon after eleven o'clock, leaving every thing safe. He sleeps himself at the top of the house ; the floor immediately above the shop is used as an office by Mr. King, solicitor ; and the floor above that is let to lodgers, who state that they heard no noise during the night. On Frid-ty morning, however, on the servant coining down at half-past six o'clock, she found the shop in a state of great confusion —the glass cases open, the glass-sash in the front window drawn aside, the shutters of the room behind the shop undone and two panes of glass broken. Here, it was apparent, the thieves had effected an entrance ; and indeed no very formidable obstacle was opposed to them. They had to get over a wall (facing into Circus-street) about seven feet in height ; the shutters were only fastened by an ordinary bolt, and this being forced, and the glass broken, the window of the back parlour was opened. There was a door separating the parlour from the shop ; but it was left open. The thieves must have taken their time ; for they literally stripped the shop of its most valuable contents, taking them from their case, which they left behind, and sweeping them from the rods on which they hung. Watches, rings, and chains were their principal aim. Seven gold watches were carried off—the only remaining one escaping by being covered over by some other articles, also several silver watches, four gold chains, a gold box and several silver ones, 3 silver guard-chains, 18 gold pencil cases, fi ve di amond and ruby ring s , and about 100 lady's and gentlemen's gold rings, with stones, about 36 gentlemen's pins, 8 gold lockets, 5 gold brooches, 6 gold cord guard-chains, a diamond earring, silver spoons and forks, and a variety of other articles of value, which the owner estimates altogether at upwards of 5004 Many articles of value, as cameos, gold brooches, &c., were left behind ; the object of the thieves evidently being to get as much booty within as small a compass as possible. They left by the same way they entered, leaving the back-door unfastened. At half-past two, the policeman on duty in Circus -street states that he tried this door, and that it was fastened ; he was again on that beat at half -past five, and saw nothing to excite his suspicion. On the police beinc , made acquainted with the robbery, an officer was dispatched by an early train to London ; but as yet no traces have been found of the offenders.—Brighion Herald. A YOUNG DISTILLER.—On Saturday a little boy, known by the name of " Bill y, " whose chin scarcely touched the upper part of the dock, was brought before Mr. Rushton, charged with having been found in at tendance upon an illicit still, at work, in Marybone. Mr. Walker, an officer of the Customs, said that " Billy" was an acquaintance of his, of pretty considerable stand ing, for that he had met the young gentleman in almost every house he entered, where illicit distillatioa was being carried or. He had always taken the principals into custody, and allowed "Billy," on account of his extreme youth and apparent innocence, to go at large, but that day he had found him the sole tenant of the house in which the still was. He had, moreover, seen him attending sedulously to the illicit occupation of keeping the still at full work. Mr. Rnsliton ordered the lad to be remanded, observing that ho was manifestly an instrument in the hands of the other parties.—Gore's .Lwerpool Advertiser. TIIE NOTT MoNtimENT.—Government has offered sufficient metal for a statue in bronze of the late gallant General Nott, in Carmarthen, but it is doubtful if the Committee can avail themselves of it, on account of the great expense of the casting. Colonel Trevor still seems to think that Llangunnor Hill, facing the town, is the proper place for the site ; but to look anything at that distance, it should be a column of considerable height, and of imposing appearance, and the amount collected precludes, it is found, anything of that sort.—Cambrian, ,THE SUN, LONDON, MONPA V EVENING,7--OCTOBF,R 1,9 2 1846. DUTCH MAIL. THE HAGUE, OCT. 14.—0 n Monday there was Cabinet Council, which sat very long ; at which were present their Excellencies the Minister Van Hall, who has wholly recovered from his indisposition, and M. Van Randwyk, the newly appointed Minister of the Interior. GOEZ, OCT. 11.—As we are informed, by a letter from Zwolle, of the 7th, that numbers of sheep have passed through the province of Overyssel to Harlingen, there to be embarked for England, we can state that many droves of sheep from Gilderland and North Brabant have passed through our province to Flushing, where they are embarked for France; most of them were of large size. Many sheep have likewise been forwarded by the steamer to Gorinchem, to be sent from our island, a large proportion of them fur Eng land. Though the expense of conveyance is very high, considerable profit will be realised on them. 12th.—Though the potato crop is not so abundant this year as last, yet many are dug up in very good condi tion, and therefore the scarcity will be by no means so great as last year. The price is, indeed, double that of good years; but people have learnt to be more economi cal in the use of this invaluable vegetable. ZwoLLE, OCT. 13.—We have already announced that two ships with Dutch emigrants were to sail for North America, but the mania for emigration increases to such a degree that a third ship will sail during this month, besides the Isabella, for New York, which was to sail on the Bth or 10th of this month, with 100 emigrants from Gilderland, Oberysbel, Gronin gen, &c. This ship, which is to sail on the 13th, is an American frigate bound to New Orleans, and though the passengers in general are averse from taking this way, yet the desire to emigrate is so great that they are contented to take this less desirable route. The an nouncement of persons intending to emigrate in the spring are very numerous, and they are chiefly persons of property, who cannot so speedily arrange their exten sive affairs. Among them is a farmer of the province of Groningen, whose property is estimated at 100,000 florins, and who has commissioned another emigrant to purchase land in North America, for which purpose he has given him 10,000 florins. It is self evident that the participation of such persons is a great support to the emigration and excites others to partake in it Every where we see advertisements of sales of landed property, and we fear a dimunition to the strength of the country. TUE HAGUE, OCT. 14.—1 t has been asserted that the Government intends, in order to cover a deficit of some millions of florins in the public revenue, to negotiate a loan of twelve millions of florins at four per cent. We can state on good authority that the Government has no such intention of contracting a loan. BELGIAN FUNDS.—Baussms, OCT. 14.

STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, FRIDAY.—The news received by the Cambria, having given an impulse to the speculative rise on cotton, the prevailing impression is that spinners will require to fall back upon short time as their only safe course. It is certainly a stern mode of bringing things round, and will press with great severity on the labour. ing classes, coupled, as it must be, with dear food. Very little business has been doing for the last few days. We cannot say that there is any change in the prices of either cloth or yarn. LEICESTER.—Trade is much in the same condition as we last reported. On the whole, it is rather dull for the season. The country houses experience more demand than those engaged in the London trade. The failure of the potato crop, and the consequent advanco in pro visions, tends rather to check the demand. There is no change in wools or yarns ; the mills are workinr, full time, and the machinery is all employed.—Leicester Chronicle. LEEDS, OCT. 13.—Both to-day and on Saturday, the same dull state of the markets has ruled at both our cloth-halls, as has been the case of late. The foreign houses are doing very little in the way of purchases, and the houses which are in the home trade continue to pur chase only from hand to mouth ; prices are without any alteration. Business has also been dull in the wareholt , es, but if the weather should be cold during the month, the general impression is, that the trade for winter goods will be pretty brisk for a time. BRADFORD, TIIITRSDAY.—WOOI—The last has been an extremely dull week for the sale of combing wools, and the market is well supplied with all kinds; but owing to the high rates still sought in the country, the prices here are well maintained. Noils and brokes are rather flatter, and a shade lower prices submitted to. Yarns—The business doing to-day is very similar to several weeks past; and the spinners fear the approach of winter, with the present low prices for yarns. Pieces —The piece trade to-day has been rather quiet, but as the accounts from the fair at Leipzic are pretty satisfac tory, it is hoped we shall see ere long more animated doings. This being between the seasons, the manufac turers of fancy goods are generally flat, as plain Orleans and Paramattas are most inquired fur, and prices remain steady.—Bradford Observer. HOSIERY AND LACR TRADES.—The wrought cotton hose branch, especially the finer and best qualities, are yet very dull, and many of the hands in the villages are suffering' for want of employment. Whilst this is the case in Britain, in France and Spain, fine cotton hose above thirty-eight gauge are in great demand, and fetch high prices. The cotton cut up hose branch, which has been bad for several weeks past, has rather suddenly mended, and frames that have stood for four or five weeks are now fully employed. The drawer and pan taloon branch has not amended, and there is little or no employment in the silk glove trade; still the quantity made is large. The bobbin net lace trade, though in some quarters a shade better, is yet dull. The making of a better description of nets from the Lever's machines is very slowly extending. The warp lace trade is upon the whole much bater, and th e f rames are gradually getting to work. The silk warp lace trade, though con• tending with difficulties on all sides, is a shade better. Nottingham Journal. I,‘ AORD ROSSE'S TELESCOPE.--The statement which has recently gone the round of the London press, an nouncing the contemplated destruction of this mag nificent instrument by a fanatic, is founded upon an apparent error of the correspondent of the Belfast Chronicle. L)rd Rosse's telescope is erected at Parsonstown, in the King's County, at a dis tance of more than one hundred Irish miles from Armagh. Whilst we rejoice in the inference that it hail escaped the rude hands of an ignorant ruffian, we are at the same time thrown on an alternative hardly less painful, that if any instrument has suffered it is the telescope of Dr. Robinson, of Armagh, who, it will b 3 remembered, gave some valuable scientific evidence before a Committee of the House of Commons on the relative merits of the several kinds of railway haulage. ADVENTURES OP A CAT.—III April last a vessel visited Garliestown Harbour, the captain of which had a favourite cat, kittened somewhere on the shores of America, that hunted at will over the ship, and amply repaid board and lodging by the destruc tion of rats as well as mice. Tired, however, of the sea, and its perile, puss gave her old friends the slip, by landing unnoticed, and establishing, without leave asked or given, her head quarters in the garden attached to the principal village inn. Here, however, she was a welcome guest to all, save the small birds that hop among the twigs of trees in summer, entered the house occasionally, and was fed regularly for a period of nearly fire months. But some farmer friend having seen and taken a fancy to the stranger, she was dispatched far inland, packed in a basket to diminish the probabilities, if not possibilities, of ever finding her way back again. But puss, although born in a slave country, repudiated the idea of becoming a thrall at pleasure ; the home assigned might be all very well in its own way, but its novelties she liked not ; the moors were too near, the hills high, and the 1 colley dogs especially pert and uncivil. Again, therefore, she b ecame a tramp, an d at the end of ten days re-appeared at her former domicile, guided by some curious instinct, which is as useful to the feline species as the compass to the mariner. If the old folks looked surprised, the young ones were de• lighted, while all admired the sleekness and plumpness of the far-travelled mouser. After a little time notes were compared, from which it appeared that the cat had been eight days on the road, shifting as she best could, and, in a district where muircocks and plovers are rife, observing carefully the old maxim, " As we journey through life, let us live by the way."—Daigfries Courier. PERILOUS CONDITION OF A BOAT'S CREW.—On Monday afternoon, during the gale, while a pilot-boat from Newhaven was running to the northward of Inehkeith, it was capsized by a sudden squall. The crew, which con sisted of two men and a boy, were thus placed in the most imminent peril. Most fortunately, all of them managed to get on the keel of the boat, where they remained for two hours before they were observed from Inehkeitb. Two boats put off from the island ; one of them, owing to the strength of the gale, ran to leeward of the sufferers. The crow of the other were more fortunate, and succeeded in saving their lives. Previous to this the unhappy men had shaken hands and bidden farewell to each other ; and the boy was in a very distressed and exhausted state.—Edinburgk Post, MICHAELHAS TERM SITTINGS.

Ilill Hassell, a medical practitione-, residing in the Queen's- road, Notting-hill, appeared before Mr. Paynter, the sittinr magistrate, to answer a summons for having assaulted Mary Anne Tustin. Mary Anne Tustin, a decent-looking female, deposed that she owed the defendant a bill for 11. is., for attend ing her child (since deceased), for which he had sent her a lawyer's letter. On the 7th instant she went to him, and told him she thought it was very sharp practice ; that she thought that he was not treating her properly ; and that he had not acted properly to her child while he attended it. Defendant denied having murdered her child, as she said, and made use of some very vulgar language towards her in reference to the letter. Upon that he put on his hat, and seizing hold of her by the arms, he forced her out of the surgery, and threw her violently into the street, by which her knee was cut. This was the assault complained of. George Moore corroborated in some particulars the evidence of the complainant. The defendant, in answer to the charge, said he pro fcs- ionally attended the complainant's child. After its decease he sent in his bill. The complainant accused him of having murdered her child, and he sent her a lawyer's letter. On the receipt the came to him, and abused him in his surgery. He ordered her out, but she continued her abuse, threatening him that his name should appear in all the newspapers. He then put her out of the house, using no more violence than was ne cessary, but in so doing she tripped her feet over the sill of the door. Edward Miller, defendant's assistant, deposed that he was in the surgery, and heard an altercation between the defendant and complainant, and thinking it was a pri vate matter, he went out into the adjoining room. He heard her accuse Mr. Hassel with murdering her chqd, and also heard him turning her out. Mr. PAYNTER said he could not see what tho com plainant wanted in going to the defendant's house, if it was not to insult him, as she did not go t o pay him. She had, however, gone there, and insulted the defendant, >sy charging him with a cri minal offence ; yet that did not ju.tity the improper re mark which the defendant had made to the complainant, and which, as a medical man, he must ever lament having used, but it justified the defendant in turning her out of his house, provided that he did not use more violence than was necessary. According, however, to the evi dence of Moore, the defendant had used more and un necessary violence, for which he must fine the defendant 403. and costs. Defendant immediately paid the amount. NATIONAL TESTIMONIAL TO MR. VILLIERS. (From the Edinburgh Chronicle.) We continue to receive letters, from various parts of the kingdom, communicating the gratifying fact, that but one opinion prevails concerning the strange neglect of Mr. Villiers's claims, witnessed in the Free Trade Testimonials. IA number of influential gentlemen, in Manchester and elsewhere, are bens upon repairing this neglect at the earliest possible moment ; but they state that it is deemed advisable to postpone any general movement with this object until the Cobden tribute and Bright memorial are completed. In the expediency of this view we are disposed to concur, although we retain our original opinion that Mr. Villiers's earlier services should not have been suffered to remain the last for ac knowledgment. There can be no doubt that, whenever a committee is formed and subscriptions commenced with this object, it will be found that Mr. Villiers's claims are estimated far more highly by the public than the delay to offer him a testimonial hitherto has indicated. The intimations we have received satisfy us that a large number of those who have already subscribed so munificently in the case of Messrs. Cobden and Bright, are prepared to contri bute with equal liberality in honour of Mr. Villiers. There is a class of free-traders, too, who have been far more backward than they should have,been in the case of the Cobden and Bright testimonials, who may confi dently be expected to contribute largely in the case of Mr. Villiers. We allude to the Whig aristocracy. With the exception of Lord John Russell, Lord Morpeth, and a few others, the members of this body have not testified as they ought to have done their sense of obligation to the distinguished leaders of the great movement which has placed the Whig party once more in power. Whether this backwardness has pro ceeded from unworthy Whig jealousy of the merited po pularity and political position acquired by these illus trious members of the formerly-derided " cotton-lord" fraternity, or whether it has arisen from a mere ex cusable sense of the slight offered by the free-traders of the manufacturing and mercantile classes to a member of the aristocracy who had worked so long, so hard, and so ably in their cause as Mr. Villiers, we will not un dertake to determine. But we believe no such back wardness will be exhibited when a corresponding testi monial in behalf of Mr. Villiers is set on foot. The Whig aristocracy must feel anxious to testify the pride they feel in possessing at least one member of their order who can fairly lay claim to share with Messrs. Cobden and Bright, and the principal leaders of the League, the applause and gratitude of the public. Now that the principles which Mr. Villiers had so long and so ably advocated have received the sanction of every enlightened states man of the age, the Whigs must turn to him with admi ration of his judgment and prescience. Although the political ambition of the Hon. Member for Wolverhampton is not of a selfish nature, it must have been discouraging and mortifying to his feelings to see his services thus remarkably overlooked by the public. At a period when the press has been industriously hold ing up to public admiration the individuals who have most prominently contributed to the triumph of free trade, and when the various popular constituencies of the kingdom have vied with each other in offering tributes of public gratitude to these patriots, the apparent total unmidfulness of Mr. Villiers's claims could scarcely fail to be painful to that gentleman That, with a few important exceptions, such unmindfulness has been dis played, is obvious. These exceptions, however, must have been peculiarly gratifying to Mr. Villiers, emanat • ing from the quarters they have. In the case of the newspaper press, writers pre-eminently distinguished for their talent and ardour in the cause of free trade have been found to call to mind Mr. Villiers's invaluable cervices, at a period when all others appeared to have lost sight of them. We allude to the Times, the Ex aminer, and Douglas Jerrold. In the ably written re marks with which the Times some months ago noticed the farewell articles of the League newspaper, the writer took occasion to render a we ll- mer it e d tribute to Mr. Villiers, and to express satisfaction that the important aid which the member for Wolverhampton had rendered to the anti-corn-law agitation appeared to be admitted by the organ of the League. More recently the tallented editor of the Examiner signified his sense of Mr. Villier's claims, and his regret at the apparent neglect thereof, in a leading article, headed " The Overlooked S erv i ces; " and Douglas Jerrold's Weekly Newspaper still more recently reminded the gentlemen of Manchester and other manufacturing communities of their somewhat unbecoming exclusive ness in acknowledging past services in their cause, by the eloquent biographical memoir which we transferred to our columns. These testimonies, we have no doubt, must have been peculiarly gratifying to Mr. Villiers, under the circum stance of the singular rarity of such references to his services on the part of the press of late; and the few personal acknowl e d gmen t s w hi c h have been afforded must have been equally so, from the same cause. Of these latter we are sorry to have noticed only two instances since the period when, in the course of their united struggle, Mr. Cobden and the delegates to the great Manchester and London gatherings of free• traders were accustomed to proclaim their sense of Mr. Villiers's brilliant abilities apd Parliamentary services by frequent votes of thanks. The instances we refer to are those of the late resolutions of the Glasgow Anti- Corn-law Association, and a more recent tribute from the pen of Sir Robert Peel. Compliments from a com munity so important as the city of Glasgow, and from a statesman so distinguished as Sir Robert Peel, must have gone far to recompense Mr. Villiers for the paucity of such acknowledgments from other quarters. LAUNCH OF THE IRON STEAM-SHIP MINERVA.— Another magnificent new iron steam-ship was launched from the building-yard of Messrs. Vernon and Co., at Liverpool, on Saturday week. It is intended to be placed upon the Cork and Glasgow line, and it is one of the finest vessels those eminent builders have ever con structed. The launch was witnessed by an immense number of persons, who were accommodated as far as possible in the yard, and the other adjacent places from which a glimpse of the interesting spectacle could be ob tained. At half-past eleven o'clock, all the preparations having been made, the unique fabric was set in motion, but nearly six minutes elapsed before she had traversed the launchways and glided into her future element. The deck of the vessel was crowded with spectators, who cheered heartily as she descended to the water. The cere mony of christening was performed by Mrs. Pike, daughter of the late Lieut. Watson, of the St. George Steam-packet Company. After the vessel had remained a short time in the water to allow the builders an oppor tunity of observing upon her appearance, she was taken in tow by a river steamer, and safely introduced into the dock. The length of the Minerva between perpendicu lars is 190 feet ; over all, 217 feet ; breadth inside the paddle-boxes 26 feet, depth of hold, 16 feet. She is re gistered to contain 627 tons, and her engines, constructed by Messrs. Bury, Curtis, and Kennedy, are of 420-horse power. After the conclusion of the ceremony, upwards of 150 of the principal guests were entertained by the Messrs. Vernon, in the model-room of the establishment, where a magnificent dejeuner was spread. After the usual loyal toasts, "Prosperity to the Minerva" was drunk wild general enthusiasm ; after which the com pany separated. THE QUEEN DOWAGEIVAND THE FAMILY OF THE LATE LIEUTENANT PEARSE, R.N., ELDEST SON OF HIS LATE MAJESTY WILLIAM TUE FOURTH.—By the death of the late Lieutenant Pearse, his family, consisting of two daughters, were reduced to comparative destitution, on account of their late father having contracted a second marriage, and settled all his property upon his widow, liwri After his death as decency would per mit, application wig made on behalf of the two daughters to her Majesty the Queen Dowager, Who almost imme diately upon the receipt of the communicat i on, caused inquiry to be made by Lord Howe of the rector of the garish where the two young ladies resided, as to their character, etc., and having been fully satisfied upon thi point, she immediately forwarded to the Misses Pearse a cheque upon Messrs. Coutts for a sum of money each, for their present wants, and requested to be informed what they wished her to do for them, and whether they would accept situations in the household, as if they would, she would procure them for them.

On Saturday Charles Sayer, of 12, Swan-yard, Shore ditch, shoemaker ; James Edwards, of Old Castle-street, Shoreditch, shoemaker ; and Robert Edwards, of 26, Union -street, Hackney-road, shoemaker, were charged by the parish authorities with shooting at Ilford on Sun day, and" being found in the p ar i s h East Ham with dogs and guns, for an unlawful purpose." The Chairman, Sir H. FELL; inquired under what Act the capture had been made, for he never heard of such a charge before. The Churchwarden said they were in pursuit of game, which was an offence. _ _ Edwards said they could not have shot any if they had seen it, and their only purpose was to shoot gulls. The police constable said he found a gull bagged. The Magistrate, after some conversation, said the police had no right to interfere with the sport so far as taking the men into custody, their power being to ask for their name and address, and proceed against them by inrormation. The Churchwarden expressed his intention to do so. Their guns, which had been detained a t th e station house on their being takeniinto custody, were d e li vere d up to them, and they were discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE • GUILDHALL. The hearing of the case of Mr. Witt, the dentist, of llolborn, who was charged with bigamy a few days since, was resumed before Mr. Alderman Wood. Mr. Haddlestone, with Mr. nobler, attended on behalf of the prosecution ; and Mr. Ballantine, with Mr. Wont ner, for the prisoner.

Cross examined by Mr. Ballantine—She had another suitor, who fixed a time for marrying her, but dropped her, and a year after that she married Mr. Witt. Mr. Earle was called, hut did not answer. After some lengthened discussion between the counsel, Mr. Alderman WOOD said he had made up his mind to dismiss the case, because it rested sol e ly an the evi dence of Mr. Earle; and ho placed no r e li ance on his testimony, taking his own acco unt of himself. The manner in which he fenced with some questions that were put to him, and the way in which he availed him. self of the protection not to answer certain questions, necessarily led to the inference that he could not ven ture to answer them. It had been said it was for the jury, and not the magistrate to decide on the credibility of witnesses. He had always acted on a contrary prin ciple; for ho thought no magistrate should send a man to trial on evidence to which he did not himself give credit. The magistrate was bound to exercise his dis cretion, and not commit recklessly on evidence which he did not believe, and which he tho ug ht no j ury would believe. He therefore discharged Mr. Witt. The parties retired. CITY POLICE COMMITTEE. POWER OF THE POLICE OVER TILE PUBLIC.—Mr. R. G. Paget, marquee and tarpauling manufacturer ; in West Smithfield, was summoned before Sir James Duke and Mr. Alderman Kelly, for obstructing City police sergeant White, No. 24. The case arose through the sergeant stopping the de fendant with his horse and cart, going into Smithfield to his stables on Monday morning last, during the time the market was held, unless he would state where he was going to. The defendant contended that the policeman had no right to stop him. He told the sergeant he was going to his stables, and he knew him and where he was going. Alderman KELLY said a satisfactory answer would have avoided all unpleasantness. The defendant still insisted that the magistrates had no right to place officers ut the end of Giltspur-street to stop the traffic. The Corporation had no power to ex ercise such a right. He had consulted Mr. Pearson, the City solicitor, on the subject, a nd had been to the Queen's p r i n t er to ascertain if any Act existed that al lowed th e C orporation such a power as they laid claim to, without his receiving the slightest information that would warrant them in the step they had taken. The sttrattons was eventually dismissed. MARyLEBONE. PIGEON PAN CIEREL—JeremEaIi Callaghan, a lad about fourteen years of age, was placed at the bar, charged with being concerned) with a boy named M`Grath, in stealing two pigeoas, the property of Slimes Courtney, Esc", of Pinchley road, St. John's-wood.

The revision of the lists for this borough commenced on Tuesday before J. L. Stock, Esq., and was not con cluded till Wednesday afternoon.

This town is united with Devonport in returning two Members to Parliament, and although decidedly Liberal in its politics, it has again added to its numbers. J. L. Luncena, Esq., held his court on Wednesday, when Mr. Oram attended for the Liberals, and Mr. John Beer for the Tories. The case of most interest, as upon it turned the events of the day, was that of Mr. John Commin, who was objected to by the Conservatives. Mr. °Rem raised a question as to the validity of the notice—first, because Mr. Commin, in the overseer's list, appeared as Common; and, secondly, that the address of the claimant being omitted in the notice, and that notice being fbrwarded through the post-office, the notice fell to the ground, and the party objected to was not. before the'Court, inasmuch as the objector was, by sec. 100, re quired to set out the place of abode as described in the list, and the clause referred to particularly mentioned that the notice, when forwarded through the post-office, should be directed to such place of abode, &c. Mr. BEER having replied, The COURT, after having reviewed the particulars of the case, said that with regard to the first objection taken by Mr. Oram, it was of opinion, that it came within the interpretation clause of the 6 Vic. c. 18, sec. 101, that no misnomer in any notice shall abridge or prevent the operation of the Act with respect to any person, place, or thing, provided such person, place, or thing, shall be so denominated in such notice as to be commonly understood, and inasmuch as Mr. Commin could only be understood as the Mr. Commin described in the overseers' list, he held the objection taken by Mr. Oram as not tenable ; but with regard to the other ob jection, the absence of the place of abode so clearly re quired by the Act, that he held to be fatal, and the ob jection to the claimant could not be entertained. The whole of the objections by the Conservatives being of a similar description, consequently fell to the ground. The result of the revision was as follows : Objected to by Liberals 56 Expunged. The claims were about equal. Gained at Devonport..... Ditto at Stonehouse 53 34 Clear gain B7 TOTNES.

The unwelcome intruders do not confine themselves to inanimate substances, but intro duce themselves into wearing apparel, crawling about the body, thereby producing a titillation far from agree able.
