The question related to Swedish iron, hammered iron, and bar iron. Corn, in fact, was never mentioned. The concluding paragraph of Mr. Addington's dispatch was to the effect that he had only to add, that had any restriction on the importation of foreign corn existed in Great Britain, the tariff would never have passed either House of the Legislature, be cause the agricultural states, and especially Pennsyl vania, would have opposed its ultimate enactment,' erasing from that passage all that had reference to the' other states of Europe—erasing from that passage every syllable that showe , l the division of opinion, and leaving it to stand as if it had reference to this countr y alone lie remembered having had a conversation with the late Sir Charles Begot, and another with Sir Stratford Canning on the subject, and he wou ld undertake to sa y that it was his firm belief, that in the history of the n c u o n u u n e t r ry ne o d r . of washicah h s e tr r atu M g a e je m sty n w m a re s ever concerned, there iever was a stratagem more un. worthy of any man that professed to hold the anything r situation of a gentleman; he had utterly disabused the powers which had been assigned to him. He would ask whether any Member of that House, pos sessing gentlemanly feeling, could justify that ? He would now call attention to the evidence given before the Import Duties Committee, in the year 1804. He was most unwilling to trespass on the time of the House with this subject • but he would be able to show that throughout the whole of this evidence he would be able to maintain his position, and it seemed to him that the Chairman of that Committee had endeavoured to prove his posi , tion even by his per oratio. The Honourable Mem ber then read several extracts from the evidence to which he had alluded, including that of Mr. Smyth, ' Dr. Bowring, and Mr. Cobden, given at Manchester. , The Hon. Member for Bolton wrote to the same effect to Lord Palmerston. It was not only in that part of his negotiations where he exhibited such sentiments. He played the same part in Egypt. From information which he (Mr. Wodehouse) had received, and on which he had every reason to rely, there was exhibited a scene before the Pache, of Egypt of such a nature as to excite surprise. The interpreter, on that occasion, could scarcely contain himself with laughter.— (Laughter.) He (Mr. Wodehouse) had his information from a lady—(Laughter)—a married lady.—(Continued laughter.) She was a lady with whom he was in the habit—(Great laughter, in which the remainder of the sentence was lost.) He was not an eye-witness of the affair, but there could be no doubt as to the authenticity of her information. If Hon. Members had seen the Hon. Gentleman going about there as sho saw him—(Laughter)—with a large straw hat, having a brim as large as that table (pointing to the table before him), a full flowing beard, and a wide pair of Circassian trousers (Loud laughter). There was another point connected with this subject to which he should wish to refer. In the same report he found an observation from Dr. Harding, to whom was committed the examination into the state of the hand loom weavers in the east of Scotland. Dr. Hard ing expressed himself thus :—" The only remedy universally suggested by the weavers and their em ployers was the total repeal of the present corn-laws." He had already stated the reason why he thought a measure of this kind would be inimical to the interests of the hand-loom weavers. Notwithstanding the excitement and prejudice existing among weavers on this subject—an excitement fostered by political agita tion—the more intelligent persons were aware that a repeal of these laws would have an injurious effect on agriculture. This would ultimately injure the weavers themselves, by diminishing the de mand for textile manufactures. How far their commerce might be checked by foreign powers, who desired to encourage their home manufactures, must be left to the wisdom of the Legislature to ewer , ta n. He did not wish to occupy the time of the House, and he would, therefore, at once move for a copy of the warrant, or other document of authority, by which H. S. Chapman, Esq., Assistant Commissioner under the Commission appointed to inquire into the condition of the hand-loom weavers, and acting in that capacity in the West Riding of Yorkshire, in 1838, was afterwards ap pointed Chief Judge of the Supreme Court at Wellington, in New Zealand, in 1843 ; also the papers relating to tariffs published in the United States, and presented in pursuance of an address of the 18th July, 1828, viz. Copy of a dispatch from H. U. Addington, Esq., to Mr. Secretary Canning, dated Washington, May 30th, 1824, and of Mr. Vaughan to Viscount Dudley, dated Washington, August 13, 1827, with other inclosures. Dr. BOWRING said, that perhaps he might be al lowed to say a word or two, as he had been alluded to by the Honourable Member who had just sat down. He would pass over the rather personal allusions to himself, and merely allude to the communication re ceived from a lady who seemed to have prac tised somewhat largely on the Hon. Member's credulity. While he was in Cairo be had the honour of receiving many communications from the people of that city on the subject. Mehemet Ali believed that he could regu late the price of corn by legislation, and issued a decree that no more than a certain price should be paid for it. He (Dr. Bowring) in the friendly intercourse with which he was honoured, presented to Mehemet Ali a state ment that the consequence of that measure would be very likely an extensive and enduring state of public distress. The distress did become very great in conse quence of that measure. The decree restricting the price of corn, beans, and bread at the bazaars, had the effect of producing extreme suffering in the city. The owners of corn would not bring it into the market, and the bakers refused to bake any bread. He (Dr. Bowring) had the good fortune to convince Mehemet Ali that his theory of protection was very injurious, and a decree was issued allowing that imports and exports of foreign corn should be free. The effect of that measure was that the distress was at once alleviated, and he had the honour of receiv ing the thanks of Mehemet Ali for his advice. Had a repeal of the corn-laws been earlier introduced he believed that a majority of the Members of this House would have been found to support the system in which he for one felt a very great interest, and which he hoped would shortly become the law of the land. He had been sent to ascertain the feeling of the northern governments with regard to the introduction of British manufactures, and he found an evident feeling to give every facility to that introduction, and the law that would allow of the introduction of their produce with England would evidently increase that feeling, to the benefit of our commercial interests. He rejoiced to hear the Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government say that he was weary of making applications to foreign nations for the admission of our manufactures. He (Dr. B.) considered that we should set an example on this point. —(Hear, hear.) Before we healed other men's diseases we should look to our own. We should reform our own tariffs before we complained of those of other nations. He was therefore glad to have the opportunity of thank ing the Right Honourable Baronet for what he had al ready done, and he sincerely trusted that he would not be deterred from proceeding in the course which had 'seen adopted by any injudicious observations on either side of the House. He felt assured that there was every disposition among foreign communities to respond to his good feelings. And if there were any doubt of the fact every one who, like himself, had received communications from foreign communities, could bear ample testimony that so change had occurred in disposition. If they required any additional information with respect to the feel ings to which he had alluded, he was quite sure that the Right Hon. Baronet would take the trouble to ascertain the true principles of' business, and would condescend to appoint teachers. lie was certain that in future there would be no deficiency of apt pupils. The motion was then put and agreed to. Mr. BROTHERTON (on the part of Mr. Elphin stone) then moved for a return of the gross and net incomes (in the years 1844 and 1845) of the archbishops and bishops of England and Wales, whether arising from their archbishoprics and bishoprics, or from any other ecclesiastical preferment, or from any other lay or spiritual office held by them respectively, stating how much arises from each of such sources, and distinguishing all sums paid to, or received from, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners ; also, stating by ho N much such total income of each archbishop or bishop is greater or less than the incomes proposed in the pre amble of the Act 6 and 7 Wm. IV., esp. 77 ; return of the name of each archbishop and bishop, and the date of their appointment to their respective sees. On the motion being put, Mr. COLLETT said that he begged to give notice for leave to bring in a Bill similar to that which he brought under the attention of the House during the last se.sion: he meant that for the consolidation of the two bishoprics of Bath and Wells. He conceived that in this case there was no claim for comp nsation, for during the seven years one of two circumstances must have occurred : either the duties of the two sees had been efficiently perf,rtned, and in that, case there was no necessity for two bishops, or they had not been efficiently performed, and the Government neglected their duty. He felt, however, obliged to take the former alternative, and to believe that the duties had been efficiently performed; and that the diocesan had not been embarrassed by the amount of duties thrown upon his hands. And he (Mr. Collett) therefore trusted that the suggestion which he now threw out would meet with the attention it deserved. According to his view the establishment of the bishops in the House of Lords was the concentrated essence of all that was bad and objectionable. He considered them useless both to the laity and to the Crown. The motion was then agreed to. LOCAL TAXATION. Sir R. PEEL---i do not knew, Sir, whether it is re gular or not, but whilst I am in possession of the House, and this being the last evening on which I should have an opportunity before the departure of the next mail for America, I am anxious to take this opportunity of an nouncing the intentions of her Majesty's Government with regard to the alterations about to be made in the import duties on timber.—(Hear, hear.) We propose, Sir, to make, ultimately, a reduction in the differential duties upon foreign timber, so that the duty shall re main, after the reduction has been effected, at 15s. in stead of the present amount. On hewn timber the duty is at,present 255. We propose to reduce it to 15s. But with the view of insuring to the consumer as much benefit as possible from the proposed reduction, we shall effect it in the manner I am about to explain. With regard to timber from the Baltic—in conse quence of the very great demand for it we do not propose that the reduction shall be imme diate. We propose that it shall commence on the sth April, 1847, considering that period as one most suitable. We propose that on the sth April, 1847, the duty shall be reduced 55., and on the sth of April, 1848, we propose to reduce it by another ss. Sawn timber we propose to reduce by 6s. on the sth of April, 1847, and by 6s. on the sth of April, 1848. With re spect to the small timber, such as laths, spars, and other sorts, we propose to make a proportionate reduc tion ; but whether or not the reduction, having regard to the interest of the consumer, should be immediate is a subject for consideration. Whether it should be ef fected without any more gradual reduction, we should wish to reserve for further opinions, as it may be a question whether the reduction might not be absolutely made on the sth April, 1846. In the course of the evening the full details will be laid on the table of the House ; but I thought it necessary to make these few observations at the present opportunity. An floe. Mextueit inquired if any alteration in the duties would take place before 1847 ? Sir R. PEEL—The duties will remain the same until the sth of April, 1847. From that date there will be a reduction in hewn timber of 55., and in sawn timber of 6+. ; and from the sth April, 1848, there will be a fur ther reduction of ss. and 6s. respectively. TURNPIKE TRUSTS. Mr. Payne prosecuted, and Mr. Mellor appeared for the prisoner. The only points of interest in this case were the cir cumstance of the position of the prisoner, and the in genious manner in which the robbery was committed. It appeared that the prosecutor had let a part of his house to the prisoner, and he occupied it with his wife. A portion of the premises so occupied was over the pro secutor's wine -cellar, and the prisoner had taken ad vantage of this, to break a hole through the floor, and by this means abstracted the property. At the last session the prisoner's wife pleaded guilty to the robbery and was sentenced to six month's imprisonment. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Mr. PAYNE said that the prosecutor had lost pro perty to a very considerable amount, and there was this circumstance of aggravation in the case of the pri soner, that he appeared to have induced his wife to plead guilty to the charge on the former occasion, in the hope that he might thereby himself escape pun ishment. Mr. Knox said it was important to know that the original shareholders had taken no interest in the Company. The CHAIRMAN said he had only been connected with the Company for a few months, and had been requested to join it by Mr. Bryden, the Parliamentary agent. He took 20 shares, in order to qualify himself for the office of director, but subsequently he had taken 100 more, on all of which he had paid. The directors had taken great pains to bring the Company to the state it was then in. Several shareholders regretted that the directors had not accepted the terms offered by the Great Western Company. Mr. STEPHENSON (one of the directors) said none of the original Company sat on the board. When the present di rectors became connected with the Company they found that it bad been greatly mismanaged, and by their united exer tions nearly the whole of the shares were allotted and paid upon. The directors had not trafficed in the shares which they had taken up, but had continued to hold them up to the present time, and if the deposits had not been sufficient to comply with the standing orders, they would have raised the necessary capital amongst themselves. The SECRETARY, in reply to a question, stated that the directors had returned deposits to the amount of 385/. to the parties who wished to withdraw from the Company, on ac count of the shares not being considered good. In reply to other questions, the CHAIRMAN and some of the directors stated that the feeling in the locality through which the line was proposed to traverse was as much in favour of their project as of the one projected by the Great Western Company. They believed that that Company was prepared to enter Parliament, but they could not ascertain the fact until Friday, which was the last day for petitions. They an ticipated that the expenses incurred would amount to be tween 10s. and 12s. 6d. per share. A DIRECTOR said he feared the feeling of the locality was in favour of the Great Western project, on account of its being an established Company, and no doubt they were prepared to give them the most determined opposition, and to sweep them off the, line if possible.

The Lord Chancellor has appointed Thomas Husband Gill, of Devonport, in the county of Devon, Gent., to be a Difaster Extraordinary in the High Court of Chancery. The RRCORDER said it was quite unnecessary to urge any topic of aggravation, as the case in itself was one of a very serious character, which rendered it his duty to pass a severe sentence, viz. transportation for seven years. Mr. Barker said, that on a former occasion he hail recommended the woman to the merciful consideration of the Court ; believing that the prisoner was the more guilty of the two, and he was still desirous, if it were possible, to obtain some mitigation of her punishment. The RECORDER said that if any representation was made to the Secretary of State, and he was referred to, he sheuld not oppose an alteration of the sentence that had been passed upon the wife of the prisoner. Edwin William Edwards, 17, described as a clerk, was indicted for stealing a cash-box, 61. in silver money, and a 51. Bank of England note, the property of John Edward Creevy, and another. Mr. Baldwin defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prosecutor and his brother carry on the business of a licensed victualler, No. 100, High Holborn, and on the night of Jan. 6, the prisoner and some other persons were in the bar-parlour partaking of some refreshments, and very soon after the persons were gone the cash-box and its contents were missed. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner, and from information received by the police, a constable went to the lodgings occupied by him, and between the bed and the mattress he found the cash-box, the lock of which had been forced and the money abstracted from it. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard-labour for six months. The female prisoner —Oh, he is greatly altered. The LORD MAYOR—So a body would think indeed, for he has grown at least half a foot higher since he was in Greenwich Hospital. Not to say a word of other points of difference. In answer to several other questions, the wretched looking object said he was too ill to say anything. He neither knew the name of the ship to which he belonged, nor the number of the ward in which he was lodged in the hospital, nor anything else. There was no evidence produced of the death of the real John Thomas, and the Lord Mayor regretted that he was obliged to discharge the couple. BANKRUPTS.

TIIE GOVERNMENT COMMERCIAL Mr. KNOX suggested that they should endeavour to amal • gamete with the Great Western, as they would realise more by that arrangement, from the premium to which the shares of an unopposed project could not fail to attain. The ClinirotAr- - The directors were of the same opinion. Mr. KNox then moved, " That the directors be authorised to effect an amalgamation with the Great Western or some other company, and to take such measures as may appear to them to be conducive to the interests of the Company." The CHAIRMAN said he had reason to believe that the Great Western would not object to amalgamate with them. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman and co►nmittee for their exertions, which was acknowledged by the Chairman, and the meeting separated, on the under standing that another meeting should be held, but that the directors should inform them, in the event of an amalgama tion being effected, where they might obtain the necessary scrip, or, in the event of a dissolution of the Company, where they might obtain the return of their deposits, less the ex penses incurred.

Sentence was deferred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-BOUSE. THE CORPORATION AND THE WATERMAN'S STEAM BOAT COMPANY.—Mr. Welster Flockton, who was a few (lays ago convicted before the Lord Mayor upon the charge of having caused a barge to be laid before the archway at Paul's-wharf, thereby obstructing the clear and orderly passing of craft, appeared again before his Lordship to answer a complaint for a repetition of the alleged offence, upon the 30th of January. As might be expected, from the hostile condition of affairs between the Corporation and the Waterman's Steam-boat Company, much interest was excited. It will be recollected that Mr. Flockton appealed against the conviction in the first ease. The defendant conducted his own defence, and before the evidence was taken de clared that there was no obstruction at the plying-place, and that the access to the stairs was as free as was the access to the Old Swan stairs, Mr. Thornton's wharf, or any other plying-place in the neighbourhood. The LORD MAYOR said he drew no comparison be tween any two cases, and would not allow one to inter fere at all with another. Henry Kirby, waterman and lighterman, stated that on the day specified in the summons, a barge with " W. Flockton, No. 644" upon it was lying upon Paul's-wharf causeway, fastened to the piles. He always considered that the place belonged to the Corporation. No boat proceeding from London-bridge could get to the stairs without going round the barge, which fl o at t d a t hi g h water, but Was aground at low water. The piles about the place were placed there by the Corporation. The LORD MAYOR—Can you reach the public stairs through the piles with a boat ? Witness—No. The LORD MAYOR—In what way does the barge hinder the due and orderly passing of boats to the landing place ? Witness--If I attempted to go to the stairs between the piles I should be liable to have my bout smashed between the barge and the stairs. I must go round the barge, if I want to get to the stairs. The LORD MAYOR—Are these stairs public? Witness --Yes, I have known them to be so these thirty years, and the City to keep the piles in repair. I have not rowed to the stairs since the barge has been there. I have been differently employed. The witness produced his freedom in the Waterman's and Lighterman's Company, which was examined by Mr. Banyon, the clerk to the Company, and pronounced genuine. The LORD MAYOR —Does the barge so obstruct the passage to the stairs that if a person were to fall from it into the river a boat would have to go round before it could reader assistance ? Witness —Certainly. My Lord, it has gone abroad that I have been instigated by rival concerns to appear in this business. That is not the fact ; we are hard-working men, and we contend that we have rights as well as steam-boat proprietors. I am contending for our right. Mr. Flockton—My Lord, the complainant says he is a hard-working man, and that he is injured by the posi tion of the barge. Now, upon the first accusation against me he admitted that he had not rowed a boat, nor been in the habit of rowing one for eight years; how, then, can he be aggrieved by the barge? I said MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Feb. 3.) SUGAR.—To-day the market for West Indian Muscovado Sugar presented a firm appearance, and the quantity on show was small, especially of the bright yellow and strong refining description. There was a good business transacted in all sorts, and the rates paid were fully equal to those of Friday. REFINED. —To-day Refined goods were purchased with caution by the home trade, and prices slightly gave way; Brown Lumps, according to quality, selling at 62s to 635, and Standard Lumps at 63s 6d to 64s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Su4-ar is much wanted for forward delivery at 34s per cwt for first quality. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with attention, and 680 bags 150 casks at auction were sold at full rates : fine yellow brought 53s to 53s 6d, good 51s 6d to 52s Gd, middling 49s 6d to 50s 6d, low 483 to 495, washed 48s to 48s 6d, syrupy 49s per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon three parcels of Bengal Sugar, amounting to 8,402 bags, were submitted to public competition, and nearly the whole found buyers —yellow brought full rates, brown went rather higher, whilst prices declined 6d per cwt for white. FOREIGN.—The market has assumed a dull appearance for yellow Havannah Sugar, and former rates cannot be obtained ; there are sellers of low to middling quality at 22s to 23s 6d, and good to fine at 24s to 26s per cwt, but scarcely any business has been transacted. White has been neglected, and prices are nominal at 30s to 38s for low to fine quality. Brown is dull of sale at 20s to 22s per cwt. Although Brown Brazil can be obtained at the moderate rates of 16s to 20s, still few buyers are to be met with. For White the demand bas been only for small parcels at 22s to 27s for low to fine quality. All other kinds of Foreign are difficult of sale. COFFEE.—This afternoon Mocha Coffee was purchased with cantion—at public sale 254 bales and 10 cases were offered, the lower qualities were chiefly sold, but at a reduc tion on former rates of 4s to 6s per cwt. With Ceylon the market was much better supplied, 3 parcels amounting to 3,223 bags were submitted to public competition. The trade evinced little desire to operate, and the small part actually sold was at a reduction on Friday's rates of is to 2s for Native, and 2s to 3s per cwt. for Plantation sorts. TEA.—There has been a considerable falling off in the de manefor Black and Green since our last report, in conse quence of no change being proposed to be made in the duty, and the large quantity of 30,000 packages being declared for public competition on Thursday. The business; transacted in Congou has been upon a small scale only, and is some cases rather lower rates have been taken. For Pouchong of clean quality 6d to 10(1 are the prices insisted upon, but less busi ness ha s illvsam b l2u e o, e e in. n s as t ol r r enu a o n e uld s y a y c yas o t on e lny d l 0 . tevhe T asrhn w e g a elh n e ua k f ha s a y ibsoe i c s ennuo h r r et e l t d t odt w . e i passing, e u fi n r m p o o b ta i ned wn but s ue s tr andt in n d t h e c or e and Imperial have been taken sparingly at former rates. afternoon takeooat at 2l a ppublicer cwt.sale for 49 pdtiornkchge:onlsityof, Be N n i g ° a LA lT s La zs cle T w h ere being above the value.

RUSSELL—Is there any objection to its being laid on the table ? Sir R. PEEL said he would give an answer on a future day. TILE APPOINTMENT OF MR. CHAPMAN. Mr. WODEHOUSE said, that in moving for a copy of the warrant, or other document, by which Mr. Chap man had been appointed Chief Judge of the Supreme Court of New Zealand, he would take leave, in the first place, to make known to the House that he entertained no hostile feeling towards Mr. Chapman. It was due to that gentleman, who had received the highest testimonials from the Hon. Member for Lis.- keard, the Hon. Member for Cumberland, the Hon. Member for Bath, and the Hon. Member for Westmin • ster, to state that he (Mr. Wodehouse) believed that the Noble Lord, tho late Secretary for the Colonies, wa s perfectly justified in making the appointment. In bringing his name before the public he was actuated by no hostile motives, but he was compelled to do so, because in his report, laid before Parliament, there were innumerable errors of such a serious nature that it was i m possible for any one to pass them over. The Hon. Member then read several quotation s from Mr. Chapman's reports with respect to the price of wheat from the year 1800 to that of 1815, which quotations he denied to be correct. Mr. Chapman, in speaking of t h e price of wheat in 1800, said that it happen e d to b e rather Jess dear than the preceding ye ar , wh i le the fact was that it averaged seventy - five per cent. le ss . He al .o said that he had no means of judging the pre grain whicn might be let in from ei se q uan tit v of foreig n Poland, ad liu.sia; but he c on sidered th at : h e e on ß s i s d i e ti ;;;bt o quantity might be expecte d f rom P o l an d.

He thought the English Govern ment were the occasion of creating the unnatural price o f w heat. He would say that he believed there were various parties, and among them the Hon. Mem ber f or D ur h am (M r. B r i g h t ) , w h o h e ld the opinion that she King of Prussia was right in doing what he pleased with the corn of his:co un t r y. He hoped that the Parlia ment of this country would recollect that for 45 years they supported themselves without the aid of foreign corn. He believed that the Government were leagued with the League, and totally indifferent to the interest and the prosperity of the country. He would now pass to the other document which he moved for, he meant the copy of a paper published in the 'United St a t es. I t was a dispatch from H. U. Addington, Esq., to I, lr.

At the weekly meeting of this bench, Mr. James Haynes, a gentleman of fortune, residing at Mitcham, attended before Messrs. Adams, Simeon, and Capt. Kemmis, the presiding magistrates, to prefer a charge against a poor labouring man, named James Pincham, of having, according to the terms of the summons under which he appeared, violently assaulted and beaten hint. From the statement of the complainant, it appeared that Pincham had been one of his tenants, and on the thy mentioned in the summons, he met him in the field and asked him for a quarter's rent which he owed him. The defendant, however, refused to pay him, and was very abusive and eventually str uc k hi m , an d t hi s was the complaint, deni e d alto gethertt true l u e T e a i s ee s a dhh u eaaf l ved t nnhodgecaccenuootp,mmii occupied ai a tan i t n secl e dvo d etatr o na t f 0 . assault.cottage belonging Haynes, n w e a s s , but he always paid the rent, and had given him notice to quit, and had given up possession, and Mr. Haynes now endeavoured to get a quarter's rent for a period during which he was not in possession of the house. He was a poor man, and had to work very hard to get the relt while he had occupied the cottage, and he would not pay it atter he gave up possession. Mr. Haynes, with an air of triumph, handed a piece of paper to the Chairman, and said that the defendant had certainly given him a notice to quite, but it was not a " legal" notice. The CHAIRMAN having looked at the notice, said that in strictness it was not legal. The defendant had given a notice, but being ignorant of the technicality of the law, which required that a notice should expire at the period when possession was taken of the house, it was one which the landlord was intitled to refuse to take notice of. Mr. Haynes said the notice was illegal, and he was entitled to another quarter's rent. Mr. ADAMS remarked that, legally, perhaps, he was; but he could not help saying that, in his opinion, in a case where a poor man who appeared to have always paid his rent regularly had, through ignorance, sent a notice to his landlord of his intention to quit which was not strictly legal, it would by much more becoming in a person of education, and in the position of the complainant, to have told a poor man so situated that his notice was not legal, than to take advantage of the fact, and compel him to pay another quarter's rent. The complainant intimated that he should stand upon his legal rights. Mr. ADAMS told him he might do so, of course, if he pleased. He was intitled to " his bond" and his "pound of flesh" if he chose to exact it. The Bench merely expressed their opinion what the conduct of a gentleman in his position ought to have been towards a poor man, who appeared always to have paid his rent regularly, and that to a considerable amount, up to the time in ques tion, under such circumstances. The complainant said, the man had been very inso lent to him, and he was determined to have his money. He should bring an action against him if he did not pay him. The BENCH then consulted together for a short time, when the Chairman said that the magistrates considered an assault had been proved, but under the circumstances they should only inflict a fine of one shilling and the costs. A DEEP TRICK —A few days ago a young woman, apparently about twenty-five years of age, of short stature, and innocent looking, went into a haberdasher's shop in New town-row, and asked for a pair of black stockings, which were ticketed in the window at ls. 6d. The stockings were handed to her, and after a careful examination she tendered a half-sovereign in payment. The half-sovereign was weighed, pronounced to be good, and the change, amongst which were two half-crown pieces, duly handed to the pur chaser. The woman counted the change over and over, and at length said she was sixpence short, and on the shopkeeper endeavouring to explain, she said she thought the ticket only said one shilling, and pretending to be offended at what she termed an imposit►on on poor people who worked hard for their money, she then put down the change, and insisted upon having her half-sovereign back. The shopkeeper, somewhat nettled in her turn, returned her the money, with an observation that she had little to thank her for, which indeed was the case, for, on looking over the change previous to replacing it in the drawer, she found that her artful and unprofitable customer, who had quitted the sh , p, had sub stituted a bad half-crown for a good one, with which she had got clear away. The poor haberdasher had taken her first l esson i n what is called " ringing the changes,"—Nottingham Journal. 11,145,, 1,5 35
