THE PUNJAUB. If there be any on:' tract in India in which we have now a deeper stake than in all others, the Punjaub is emphatically that one. Consider what it is, and consider where it is. In itself, it is an eminently favoured coun try. For the most part, it is blessed with a benignant cli mate, and clothed with a fruitful soil; it is fertilized with frequent streams (Punj-ab means five waters, as Do- ab means two), and it is inhabited by a bold and active race. I question whether Bengal itself is a richer tract ; but Bengal is nearer to the sea, and further from Caubul ; and,as advantages, those two conditions alone are ines imable. Yet, precious as these qualities are—and they are all of high price —to us the Punjaub derives its highest value from its local situation. It affords the only access to India from the north. It is the only breach in the physical barrier through which an invader can enter. There is no other opening, either to the right or the left. There was a time when any interest the Punjaub had with us was a distant interest; when, though curiosity might have in vited to research, occupation was not essential to safety. But times as well as things are now changed. Remote and unknown as it hitherto has been, the Punjaub now lies at our door. It is our door itself; and if the key be not in hands on the strength and fidelity of which we can rely, how can we help taking it into our own? In a country so situated, we can no longer consent to remain upon bare sufferance. If we are to incur the responsibi lity of measures, we must also assume the direction of them. If we are to remain at all, let us, therefore, re main as masters. Let us at once take a lofty ground, from which we may look down upon it, not up to it, as an object in subjection, and not in dread. Say what you will, it is both the safer and the cheaper course; for, depend upon it, that, between good government and good troops, it will be less difficult and less costly for us to hold the Punjaub as a property of our own, than it will be to guard it as the property of the Seikhs. If we had been asked twenty years ago to accept the Punjaub as a free gift, we should have rejected it with out a thought; and our rejection would then have been a wise one. Yet now, after all that it has cost us in blood and in money, in power and in name, we are re duced to the shift of taking it, if for no other reason, at least for this—that we know not what else to do with it. We are driven to take it into our own hands, simply because there are no others in. which we dare to leave it. Instead of pretending, therefore, to slink on as mere trustees any longer, let us at once step openly into the owner's shoes. Whatever technical distinctions may be drawn, at least we have as good a title to the Punjaub as Runjeet Singh had before, or as Dhuleep Singh, or any other Singh, has now, or as we ourselves have to any given part of our estate. As things now stand, the resort to this measure is inevitable. It is too late to shrink. We must go through with it. In this emer gency let us, as we cannot often do, let us take counsel of Macbeth— " I am in blood Stept in so far, that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er." And here our choice ends. Though we may direct as we will, still it is not to be enlarged. THE GREAT WESTERN DOCKS AT MILLBAY, PLYMOUTH.—The Admiralty have ordered the suspen sion of that portion of the Millbay works of the Great Western Docks which interferes with the water commu nications to the Royal Marine Barracks and the Mill bay prisons of war. It is believe, however, that a proper explanation of the company's engineers with the Go• vernment officers at Plymouth will clear away the ob jection, and enable them to continue the works. ST. ALISAN'S B ANK.—We are sorry to announce that this bank (of whick Mr. Story was the sole pro prietor) stopped payment on Thursday. The event is ascribed to recent heavy and unforeseen calls upon its resources, arising out of Mr. Story's indisposition, and an erroneous impression, that there being no second name in the bank, the creditors would, in the event of Mr. Story's death, he compelled to wait twelve months for the payment of their claims. The issue has been pur posely kept as low as possible, and is not more than about 700/. The whole liabilities of the bank do not, as we understand, amount to 10,000/., and every one wiil n the end be paid in full.— Hertford Mercury. SIR THOMAS BIRCH, M.P ~ AND THE FINANCIAL REFORM ASSOCIATION.—Sir Thomas Bernard Birch, Bart., M.P. for this borough, has transmitted to the treasurer of the Liverpool Financial Reform Association the sum of 201. in aid of its funds. The amount was re ceived on Saturday. Sir Thomas, in the letter which ac . compaeied his handsome donation, expressed hisl;;;tY concurrence in the objects of the association. The de sire of the Hon. Member to co-operate in efforts having for their object the mitigation of the many burdens which press upon the people, will contribute largely to increase the esteem in which he is held by his constituents. — Liverpool Albion. Mr. Green, son of the celebrated aeronaut, after an absence of seven months on the Continent, during which time he has made 20 ascents, eight of which were from the Hippodrome at Paris, arrived in London on Sunday morning, by the General Steam Navigation Company's new steam-ship Albion, from Boulogne. CHURCH OF ENGLAND'S YOUNG MEN'S SOCIETY ?OR AIDING MISSIONS AT HOME AND ABROAD.-011 Friday evening the East London branch of this society held its first anniversary meeting in the large room of the Whitechapel Society School. The meeting was pre sided over by the Rev. W. W. Champneys, M.A., and its claims were ably advocated by the Rev. Dr. A. la`Caul, Rev. J. B. Cartwright, Rev. H. Allen, &c.; the annual report of the committee was read and adopted, showing the first year's progress of the operations of the branch to have been most satisfactory and encourag ing. Other resolutions were passed, and although the weather was very unfavourable, there was a numerous attendance of the young men of the district. COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—A commission de lu natico inquirendo was opened at Harefield, on Wednes day, before Mr. Barlow and fourteen special jurors, of whom W. Armstrong, Esq., magistrate, was foreman, t o inquire into the state of m id of Philip Champion Cres pigny, Esq., aged 84, of Harefield-house, Middlesex, a gentleman possessed of freeholds in the counties of Nor folk and Middlesex, and also funded property, the whole of the value of nearly 10,0001. per annum. The inquiry took place in the drawing-room of the mansion. The commission was taken out at the instance of C. Fox Crespigny, Esq., of Exeter. The commission was un opposed; in its support appeared Mr. E. Clerke, of Chapel-street, Bedford-row, solicitor. Dr. Buchan, of Elstre ; Mr. Hanes, surgeon, of Pinner, and other wit nesses were examined. It is only occasionally that he recognized his most intimate friends and relatives. At the conclusion of the evidence, the alleged lanatic was introduced. In appearance he was very healthy and good natured, and frequently laughed heartily while being questioned by the Learned Commissioner and jury, but the only answers he_gave were either, "I don't know," or "I won't trouble myself." He did not appear to know his own brother or any of the witnesses, and, in fact, hies memory was entirely gone. On his retiring, the jury returned a unanimous verdict of unsoundness of mind since January 1, 1848. A GAMEKEEPER COMMITTED FOR KILLING A POACHER. —On Thursday, at Durham, Mr. J. M. Fa yell, the coroner, concluded an inquest respecting the death of a poacher named John Coulson, who was shot by the head keeper of G. Sabin, Esq., of Croxdale Park. From the evidence taken it appeared that on the 25th ult. the attention of Mr. Boyd, the chief keeper at Mr. Salvin's, was aroused, between one and two in the morning, by hearing the report of guns firing in the direction of his master's preserves. He imme diately got up, and having called the gardener, they went in search of the parties who were firing, each taking a gun with him. When they had got into a wood on High Croxdale, they came in front of a party of poachers, who cried out to them to stand back, or they would fire upon them. The keeper answered that he would not stand back, when one of the poachers discharged his gun, and the contents wounded Boyd in the hands, thighs, and chest. He immediately fell to the ground, but raising himself partially up, he fired upon the poachers, who, with the exception of deceased, made off. He, however, was found at a subsequent hour in the wood, fifteen yards from the place where the affray took place, in a very exhausted state from the blood which had flowed from several gun-shot wounds. He was taken to the infirmary, where he died the following day. The wounded keeper was also obliged to be removed to his home,tin where h e st ill remains in a very precarious con• al . The Sur eon proved that the deceased died from the wounds which had been inflicted by the keeper, and the jury, after a l verdict of e enlengthened consultation, returned a coroner made out a Manslaughter"wae against Henry Boyd, and the he recovers for his committal to gaol, in order that (in case ;assizes, FIRE his own wounds) he may be tried at the ensuin Film IN REGENT -STREET. :0% Sunday morning, between six and seven o'clock fire, attended with the destruction of some thousand' po ef property, broke out in Little Portland. street, R e ... 4 ,1 d t ! commenced in a range of sheds belonaßtl"'t. The flames In the cabinet-maker and upholsterer, of 13 0 - t r at t ;° Mr. Pratt, course of a few minutes the whole were !algae. The premises were adjoined by the te eee a u t n tn e ral of Mr. W. Austin, lace and fringe maker, and that i s ; r o Y pony was destroyed, and the flames extended rap% to the private house of Mr. Davis. Mr. Austin's pre mises had, a short time back, upwards of 1,2001. ex pended upon them in improving the working ma chinery. The damage done is officially reported as follows:—The premises of Mr. 'Pratt, No. 3, Little Portland-street, burned down. No. 1 in the same street, Mr. W. Austin, lace and fringe maker, con sumed the whole of the workshops and contents, dwell ing -house partially destroyed. No. 2in the same street, Mr. Davis, private, considerable damage by fire, water, and removal. No. 47, Mortimer -street, Mr. P. Shaw, cabinet maker and upholsterer, back portion of premises slightly damaged, and furniture injured by removal. No. 30 in the same street, Mrs. Sibley, dressmaker, roof of back premises damaged. The cause of the fire has been traced to some lime placed in the sheds, which becoming slaked, set the timber on fire. Ten other fires occurred in various parts of the metropolis during Saturday and Sunday, none of them destroying property to any serious amount. _ _ yy • - WELSH FLANNEL.—Being amongst the first to announce the patronage extended by her Most Gracious Majesty to this useful fabric, it is gratifying for us to learn that the result has been that the Welsh flannel trade has, in consequence of the Royal example, received a considerable impetus. Orders, we find, have already been received for this material in this and the neigh bouring towns on an extensive scale. It is to be hoped that this improvement will continue.—Camirian. EPISCOPAL PATEONAGE.—Within the last five years the Rey. J. P. Eden has been presented to four benefices in succession, by the Bishop of Durham. The last is Bishop Wearmonth, value 2,000/. a year! Thus it is the Edens have greatness forced upon them. ssmx.—A fire took place at Weald Hall on Thursday night, by which a range of stabling and other the property of C. T. Tower, Esq., were burnkd down. Five valuable hunters were likewise de stroyed. THE CARPET TRADE TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sirs,—Observing in your paper of the 24th ult. an article headed " Distressed State of the Carpet Trade in Kidderminster and Stroud," I take the liberty of addressing you on the subject, as such statements emanating from a leading journal are calculated (though I doubt not, unintentionally) to do much injury, and I beg to .say on inquiry, you will find they are not founded on fact. At Stroud carpets are not, and I believe never were made; but at Kidderminster a large population (some thousands), men, women, and children, gain their living by this staple manufacture. The trade of Kidder minster is much depressed in common with other manu factured articles of luxury, but Mr. Sievier's invent ion (introduced by Mr. Bright) can have nothing to do with it except from the representation of his agents; for only . two or three patterns are yet presented to the and they are of the most insignificant description, as you can find on investigation, but your statement has done a decided injury, and likewise thrown a slur on the good credit of the place, and it is indeed a heartless and inglorious boast to make, that by t h e inventive genius of Mr. Sievier, such a body of people would be thrown out of employ. And I would ask, would it be desirable (if the invention could be perfected) to apply steam power to produce an article that hand labour can furnish in much greater quantity . than there is demand for? Brussels five frame carpet is an article of great dura bility and frequently wears ten or fifteen years, indeed, sometimes much longer. Allow me to subjoin an article written some time back " on carpeting," by an i ns p ector of manufactures. Again apologizing for troubling you in this matter, I am your most obedient servant, A CARPET MANUFACTURER. Kidderminster, Dec. 8, 1848. " With regard to carpeting I consider there is no article manufactured so suitable for the covering of floors as Brussels. It must be borne in mind that carpet ing has to be trodden under foot, and therefore should have plenty of wool and other material to form a sub stantial cloth, and in which particular five frame Brussels surpasses all others. Its durability of texture and colours, and cleanly appearance, nothing manufactured can surpass or indeed equal. The great quantity of worsted worked or planted in the cloth or back of the carpet tightens the pile and add s muc h t o Its more lasting than any other, and likewise creates that warmth and comfort in rooms so desirable and necessary in a variable climate. It is really an article of sterling value, and one that can never be superseded."—Copied from a memorandum of an Inspector of the Manufactures of England. A BRIDGE WASHED AWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—On the night of Sunday, the 4th instant, con tinual torrents of rain fell, which swelled the river Cynon to a considerable height, and owing to the con fined water-way beneath a bridge, subsequently built by the Taff Vale Railway Company, forming a communica tion from the original line of the Aberdare Railway to the Llety Jenkin Colliery, it obstructed the passage of the water in its original course, consequently the water, accumulated by obstruction caused by the said bridge, overflowed its embankments, thereby causing an unnatu ral inundation of the adjacent country, forming an ex tensive reservoir of water o ve r the flat part of th valley above the said bridge and branch of railway. The weight of the water so accumulated broke the embankment on the said branch of railway formed by the Taff Vale Railway Company, and the sudden influx of water when the embankment gave way caused an inun dation of the Aberdare Railway for nearly a mile in extent; nevertheless the Aberdare line of railway retained its original position, so much so, that as soon as the water had sunk beneath the level of the rails it was discovered passable for the second passenger train, which reached its destination with its usual speed without the slightest accident occurring. On Friday, the Bth instant, the said bridge was washed away, and we trust some person may be appointed to repair and improve the communica tion whose competency (combined with a general know ledge of the locality of the country) will insure a future safety to the public and the interest of the company. I am, Sir, yours obediently, A PASSENGER. WINDSOR CASTLE.--Preparations are in progress for the forthcoming dramatic representations which, by sanction of the Queen, are to be given in Windsor Castle, under the management of Mr. Charles Kean, during the approaching holidays. The room selected for the purpose is the splendid apartment looking over the north terrace, formerly called " The King's Drawing room," but since her Majesty's accession to the throne has been designated " The Ruben's Room," a number of the chef d'oeuvres of that master decorating the walls, which are hung with crimson silk damask, bearing the initials " G. R." within the motto and garter of the order of that illustrious fraternity. Across the northern end of this room the proscenium of the temporary theatre will be erected, the recess of the noble oral window, which occupies nearly the whole of that end of the room, adding great depth to the stage. The southern half of the apart ment will be furnished with fauteuils, forms, and otto mans, for the use of her Majesty and the Court, with the royal visitors; and, from the dimensions of the roam, it is evident that the audience is not expected to be a numerous one. The proscenium and other fittings of the temporary theatre will be prepared in London, under the superintendence of Mr. Charles Kean, who, it is said, has made arrangements with the directors of the Rich mond and Datchet line of the South-Western Railway for the nightly conveyance, by special train, of the ladies and gentleman engaged to assist him on the nights ap pointed for their performance. OUTLAWS AT THE SHERIFFS' CRUET.—Thursday the following parties were outlawed: —Charles Beau clerk, commonly called Lord Charles Beauclerk, at the suit of George Simon Harcourt; Sir William Thomas Stanley Massey Stanley, Bart., of Hooton Hall, Ches shire, at the suit of William Jones; Thomas Desomeux, at the suit of W.

Jauney, at the suit of John Pook; the same, at the suit of the same; Thomas Burlton, at the suit of George Lees and Robert Ellis; and John Phillips Beavan, at the suit of William and Edwin Cox. CITY IMPROVEMENTS.—Thursday, by order of the commissioners for carrying out the proposed improve ments within the city of London, the whole of the houses on the north-east side of Dowgate-hill, from the end of Cloak-lane to Walbrook, and from the point of junction of Walbrook, Watling-street, and Dowgate hill, along the east side of Cannon-street to Turnwheel lane, were being removed in order to widen the tho roughfare of Cannon-street (the whole of the east side of which, extending to King William-street, is to be pulled down), and to form the new street through Cloak lane and St. Thomas Apostle to the Middlesex side of Southwark-bridge and Queen-street, Cheapside. It is also the first portion of the :projected continuous thorough fare from Tower-hill to the south side of St. Paul's Ca thedral, the estimated cost of the construction of which is 500,0001., and from which the corporation have al ready obtained the sanction of Parliament. LEOMINSTER ELECTION.—AII is bustle and acti vity in this borough, and all three candidates have issued addresses. Mr. F. Peel declares himself an advocate for every retrenchment compatible with the public safety, the protection of our widely extended commercial inte rests, and with the firm maintenance of the national credit. He adds :—" The necessity of a wise economy is the more urgent, in my opinion, because I feel it in cumbent upon me to resist every attempt (if such be made) to reimpose taxation upon those articles of foreign import which constitute the materials on which our manufacturing industry is employed, or which enters into the subsistence or administers to the comforts of the great mass of the community; unless it should be deemed prudent, on more extensive experience of the effects of free-trade measures, to adopt a different line of policy—a result, however, which Ido not anticipate." Sir Edward Buiwer Lytton, in his address, after alluding to general matters of legislation, comes to the endow ment question, and declares that he shall offer his most strenuous opposition against the endownent of the Irish R mean Catholic clergy. Mr. Phillimore, in his ad. dress, declares himself an ultra-Liberal. He is a sup porter of searching reforms in the law, the church, and the national expenditure. He would exclude bishops from the House of Lords and require them to reside on their diocese nine months every year. He is also an advocate fur vote by ballot, an extension of the suffrage, and. for a comprehensive and impartial scheme of na `fleTletl:ducation. Mr. Peel has suspended his canvass has resumed' ir.eti‘.present to attend the marriage of his brother. be:-IgsaaJzoino:er AGAINST t recovered from his late indisposition, in a speech of eo g e numerou s m eetin e Tase• He on Friday attended a very _ . lsld in the Music-hall, Sheffield, and present as to his p olit ical length informed the electors ultimately a resolution wara:--e-ng cross-examination, and alreiled, by an overwhelming was subjected to a c e a e l° P h i tiene- The Hon.

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE OXFORD, DEC. 9.—Mr. Gilbert Bradley, Commoner of University College, was yesterday elected to a Ma thematical Exhibition in the same Coll ege . The Curators of the Taylor Institution have elected Dr. Tritten, Secretary to the Royal Geographical So ciety, to be Processor of Modern Earopean Languages. The Rev.

The library of Louis Napoleon has been sold by auc tion, and amongst the books was a handsome copy, bound in morocco, of Lamartine's poem of " Jocelyn." The value of the work was much enhanced by the fact that on the inside of the cover appeared the following words in the handwriting of the Prince. They were in French, but we translate them for the benefit of Louis Napoleon's country friends, who may not understand his language so well as he does theirs:— " - Undertook the reading of this book at Florence, Sunday, the 7th of May, 1837. " Abandoned it as being toe sublime for me. "Undertook the reading for the second time, Manley, the fith, witheut being more fortunate. " Recommenced by a new effort, Tuesday, the 9th, and abandoned it definitively." Considering the present position of the author and the critic as rival candidates for the Presidency of the French Republic, this anecdote is somewhat curious. Little did the Prince think, when he wrote the above, that he and the poet whose work he had been obliged to abandon as being too sublime for him, would one day meet under circumstances which must severely test the ability of both. PRODUCTION OP MR. BENNETT'S NEW PLAY AT THE THEATRE ROYAL BIRMINGHASI.--(FRO3I A COR BESPONDENT.)-A new play, from the pen of Mr. G. Bennett, was produced at our Theatre Royal on Fri day last, called the Justiza, a tale of Arragon. It was received throughout with the most marked attention and genuine applause. Miss Cushman's personation of the principal character deserves the highest commendation; and at the conclusion of the performance she was most enthusiastically cheered and called for to appear before the curtain. Mr. Peregrine Birch succeeds the late Mr. Edward Courten3y as Chief Committee Clerk in the House of Lords.— Observer. LANDI'ORT THEATEE.—The ballet entertainment which has proved so successful at the theatre at Ports mouth has been produced at this theatre with, if pos sible, greater success. The denizens of Landport appre ciate the liberal exertions of the lessee, and the theatre is every evening crowded to the ceiling. The stage is fitted up with good effect, and the music is pretty and effective. Miss Louisa Coleman and Miss Massall have well sustained the reputation they earned at Portsmouth, and on their appearance are each of them greeted with enthusiasm. M. Simon, the maitre de ballet, has pro duced some of the most exquisite groupings, indeed, quite worthy of her Majesty's Theatre. The specula tion of the lessee will, we opine, prove beneficial to him, as well as to all parties concerned. AVARICE OUTWITTED.—The case of John Eyre, Esq., who, though worth upwards of 30,0001., was con victed at the Old Bailey, and sentenced to transporta tion, was rendered more memorable by the opportunity which it gave Junius to impeach the integrity of Lord Mansfield, who was supposed to have erred in admitting him to bail. An anecdote is related of Mr. Eyre, which shows in a striking manner the depravity of his heart, and may help to account for the meanness of the crime of which he was convicted. An uncle of his, a man of very considerable property, made his will in favour of a clergyman, who was his intimate friend, and committed it, unknown to the rest of his family, to his custody. However, not long before his death, having altered his mind with regard to the disposal of his wealth, he made another will, in which he left the clergyman only 5001., leaving, the bulk of his large property to his nephew and heir-at-law, Mr. Eyre. Soon after the old gentle man's death, Mr. Eyre, rummaging over his drawers, found this last will, and perceiving the legacy of 5001. in it for the clergyman, without any hesitation or scruple of conscience, put it into the fire, and took possession of the whole effects, in consequence of his uncle being sup posed to have died intestate. The clergyman coming in town soon after, and inquiring into the circumstances of his old friend's death, asked him if he made any will before he died ; on being answered by Mr. Eyre in the negative, the clergyman very coolly put his hand in his pocket, and pulled out the former will, which had been committed to his care, in which Mr. Eyre had be queathed him the whole of his fortune, amounting to several thousand pounds, excepting a legacy of 5001. to his nephew. DARING BURGLARY NEAR BIRMINGIIANI.—EarIy on Wednesday morning the house of an old man named Sly, residing near Shirley-street, about seven miles from Birmingham, was burglariously entered and robbed under extraordinary circumstances. Mr. Sly is a small tenant-farmer, occupying Winfield farm, his sole com panion in the house being a woman named Mary Shaw, nearly as old as himself. About half-past two o'clock Mr. Sly was awoke from his sleep by a loud noise, and immediately felt the hand of a man upon his throat. He soon ascertained that others, to the number of four or five, were in the room. The men, who had entered by means of a ladder through the bedroom window,' were masked and possessed of a dark lanthorn. On attempt ing to stir, the villains, presenting a pistol to Mr. Sly's head, threatened to blow out his brains if he made the slightest alarm or resistance. They then, after binding him hand and foot with a cord, proceeded to rifle a box, from which they took 500 sovereigns, a quan tity of title deeds and other papers. In the mean• time the housekeeper, who slept in an adjoining room, became alarmed, and begged of the thieves to spare the old gentleman's life. In reply, they threatened to shoot her with a pistol, which one of theta held to her breast. Her hands were likewise tied, and several other boxes were broken open. The burglars subsequently left the house by the back door, which they locked after them. In the course of half an hour Mr. Sly managed to loosen the knot of the rope with which he was bound, and gave the alarm to Mr. Hi tcham, a neighbour. Sus picion fell upon five men who were seen about the pre mises some days before, and from the description given of them they were apprehended by the Birmingham pollee. OLD AFFECTIONS REVIVED.—An old townsman of Brighton, reduced in circumstances, has recently be come a man of wealth. In his youthful days he formed an attachment with a lady, who, owing to circumstances not within our knowledge, became the wife of an Ameri can emigrant. They prospered in worldly pursuits, and he many years afterward s di e d , l eaving her in posses became ion of his property. M eanw hil e the swain of Brighton successively the husba n d o f two ladies both of whom died. The fact of his being a widower reaching the ears of his Transatlantic first-love, she commissioned a friend coming to England to deliver him a letter, stating her circumstances, and expressing a desire that he should a third time be bound in the chains of matri mony. The widower replied to the letter, and by re turn of packet, received from the widow a chuck to do fray the expenses of his voyag e to America, whether he at once departed; and hi s son now living in Brighton, h a s just received a letter, stating that the widower and widow have become husband and wife. THE. SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 12, 1848. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS, Dec. 11. (Before the VICE CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) STENVART V. FORBES. This was a petition by the plaintiff for a variation of the terms of the decree which his Honour had pronounced in this case, and which stated that the parties had agreed to waive an issue, and to submit the point in dispute to his Honour's judgment ; whereupon his Honour dis missed the bill with costs. When the plaintiff appealed from the decree the Lord Chancellor remarked that he could not hear the parties upon the question whether an issue ought to have been directed, while it appeared on the face of the decree that the issue had been waived by consent. But his Lordship gave leave to the plaintiff to apply to his Honour to have the words "by consent" struck out of the decree. This petition was now pre sented for that purpose. Mr. James Parker and Mr. Smith supported the peti tion, which was opposed by Mr. Bethel!, Mr. Lewis, and Mr. Schomberg. __ His HONOUR said—lf ever a decree had been pro nounced deliberately, it had been this decree. He had prepared this judgment on the memorable 10% of April, and had handed his written judgment to the registrar. The parties themselves had requested him to do what he had done, and it would have been unfair to them if he had afterwards directed an issue; nor was any objection made to the decree at the time. And, besides, this was not a case of mere clerical error, and he had no power to alter a clause in such a manner upon petition. The peti tion must be refused, with costs. (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. INVILLE. In this case the information was filed, praying (amongst other things) for the appointment of new trus tees. By the Act the 10th of Geo. 111., for dividing certain common and waste lands in the parish of St. Mary, Newington, the waste, called Lorimon Common, as freed from rights of common, was vested in the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, who were lords of the manor, and the waste, called Walworth Common, asfreed also from right of common, was vested in the rector and churchwardens of the parish for the time being, the te nant of the manor for the time being, and twelve persons therein named as trustees ; by the second section of the Act it was enacted that no one should be a trustee ex cept the rector and tenant respectively of the manor for the time being, unless he should reside within the parish ; and by the third section it was enacted that on the death or removal of any trustees, the vestry should elect' new trustees in their room, in the manner pointed out by th e Act. Since the 10th of George lIL several Acts had been passed in reference to this pro perty; but the main question which came before the Court on the present occasion was as to the person in whom the legal estate was now vested. By the original Act, one-tenth of the rents of the property were directed to be paid to the rector for the time being, and the re maining nine-tenths to the churchwardens and overseers of the poor, to be applied by them for and towards the poor of the parish. His HONOUR said that in the present stage of the suit he should decide nothing with respect to the question relative to the legal estate. His Honour then directed a reference to the Master, to inquire who were the re maining trustees under the Act of George 111., and various other inquiries respecting the appointment of new trustees, and the parties in whom it would be for the benefit of the charity that for the future the legal estate should be vested. Sir Francis Simpkinson and Mr. Toulmin appeared for the relators; Mr. Russell, Mr. Bacon, Mr. Malins, Mr. Wilcock, Mr. Raundell Palmer, Mr. W. M. James, Mr. Collier, Mr. J. H. Palmer, Mr. Phillips, and Mr. Welford appeared for the different defendants. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 11. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and Common Juries.) HODGE V. PONTIFEX AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a boiler maker, against the defendants, braziers and dealers In copper and lead, to recover 42/. 10s. for a boiler sltp plied to their order. The defence was, that the boil,r, was useless, •in consequence of its leaking, and that it was not adequate for the purposes for which it was con structed. Evidence was given to show that when the boiler was put up the engineer of the defendants approved of it, and that it held water for some time after. From this it was inferred that the defendants had unduly strained the machine, and thus rendered it leaky and defective. The jury found their verdict for the plaintiff, with damages 421. 10s. BROOKER AND ANOTHER V :JOHNS 'AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought to recover 40/., the amount of a bill of exchange, drawn by S. and D. Marks, and accepted by J. Johns and Co. It appeared by the evidence that a person named Johns who was accompanied by a Mr. Read, the other defendant to the action, purchased goods from Messrs. S. and I). Marks, to the amount of 401., and gave the bill in ques tion in payment. When the goods were purchased, Johns introduced Read a ; his partner, and that person assisted him in the selection of the articles. The invoice was made out in the name of Johns, and the goods were for warded to his address. The defendants about the same time visited various tradesmen, and purchased goods, Johns stating in every case that Read, who was a moneyed man, had joined him as his partner. When the bill be came due it was dishonoured; and the plaintiffs, the pre sent holders, now sought to recover the amount from Johns and Read, under the impression that they were partners. _ _ A number of witnesses, principally Jews, were exa mined to prove the connexion of the defendants as part- ners. For the defence it was contended that Read was never a partner of Johns, and that the circumstance of his having been present at the purchase of the goods did not establish his liability as a partner. The jury found their lerdict for the defendants. DOULCOTT AND ANOTHZR V. CHALLIS AND ANOTHER. The action was brought by the plaintiffs, judgment creditors of a person nulled Trigg, a builder at Bays water, to recover from the defendants, the Sheriffs of Middlesex in 1847, the sum of 1611. Bs. 10d. damages, for having permitted Trigg to have escaped from their custody. The writ of fi. fa. was directed to Lawrence Levy, Luekett, and Leornard, officers of the defendants, who arrested Trigg in September, 1847, but permitted him to escape after he had been in their custody a quarter of an hour. The Sheriffs' officers paid two executions which were against Trigg, but they declined to discharge the plaintiffs' demands, oa the ground that they had re ceived directions not to act on the writ, and that the plaintiffs could not have sustained any loss as Trigg was insolvent when arrested. The jury thought the defence was not established, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff's, with damages 801. LIVERPOOL WINTER ASSIZES. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. Francis O'Donnell, 29, Joseph Cuddy, 32, Matthew Somers, 23, Robert Hopper, 22, Edward Murphy, 20, James O'Brien, 22, Martin Boshill, Peter Herbert Dela mere, George Smith, and James West, were charged with conspiracy at Liverp)ol. There were eleven counts in the indictment. The first count charged the Prisoners with procuring and sending arms to Ireland, to be used in the breach of the peace, and in opposing the execution of the laws, and for the purpose of insurrection and tumult. The second count charged them with procuring arms with intent to send them to Ireland. The third count, to aid and assist conspiracy in Ireland generally. The fourth count charged them with an intent to raise insurrec tion in England, and to arm and procure arms for them selves, and cause others to do so, for the purpose of ob structing the execution of the laws and the preservation of the peace. The fifth count, to i nc i te others to ra i se insurrection in England, and to arm and procure arms for the purpose of obstructing the laws. The sixth and seventh counts were similar to some of the preceding, with a few technical differences. The eighth count charged the prisoners with inducing persons to form clubs to create terror and disaffection. The ninth, to form clubs to arm and create terror. The tenth, to form illegal clubs; and the eleventh, to riot and levy war. The Attorney-General (Sir John Jervis), the At orney-General for the county palatine (Mr. Knowles, Q C.), Mr. Welsby (specially retained), Mr. Crompton, and Mr. Pagett appeared for the Crown. Mr . . Pollock and Mr. Simon defended O'Donnell, Cuddy, Somers Hopper, and Murphy. Mr. Tindal Atkinson defended O'Brien; Mr. James, Boshill; Mr. Seger, Delamere ; and Mr. Dearaley and Mr. Aspinall, Smyth. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case. He drew attention to the standing in society of the prisoners, and proceeded to say that it would be proved that the pri soners had organised themselves to set fire to Liverpool if the Government would not grant the demands of the Irish. Mr. Meagher, now convicted of high treason, came over from Ireland to Liverpool and,meetings were held and clubs formed for the purpose of assisting the Irish to obtain the Repeal of the Union. He then referred to the first meeting of the repealers in Liverpool, in Deeemberlast, when the prisoners were present. He then road the minutes of that and subsequent meetings from the minute book, of which the authorities had obtained posesssion. It appeared that M'Manus was continually writing to the disaifected in Ireland, reporting the pro gress of the organisation in Liverpool. The Learned Gentleman continued at length to read from the minutes of the different meetings, which disclosed the arrange ments made for procuring arms, and the appointment of different sub-committees to cause their sale and distribu tion among the people. No one could read these minutes without being struck with what was intended, and that the Constitution itself was in danger. He then said he would read from the speeches of the prisoners, one of which, delivered by Somers, was the most outrageous he had ever yet had to bring before a court of justice. Amongst other topics, the speaker asked his audience if they were resisted in Liverpool, and a massacre took place, what would they do? The answer was " Mos cow!" The Learned Gentleman, in continuation from the speech of Somers, referred to the observations he made towards its close, in which he stated that he was reminded of Warsaw in flames, and that if the Government did not grant their demands the sky would be reddened with this Babylon (Liverpool) on fire. He then cited extracts from speeches delivered by Dr. Reynolds, who publicly advised the people to get pikes and guns. He also read from speeches of the other prisoners at different meetings, in •which the con viction of John Mitchel was alluded to in the most vin lent terms, and the people requested to arm for his rescue. In one of the speeches the speaker observed, amongst other things, that Lord John Russell had made a fool of an apost a t e, t h e Attorney-Genera l , an d t h a t it would give him great pleasure to see Lord John Russell's head on the top of a pike. The speaker then stated the price at which pikes could be had. The Learned Gen. tleman then referred to the arrest of several of the pri soners, and to the pikes and arms found in their pos session. A number of police having deposed to taking the pri- soners, and to finding arms, minute books, and papers in their possession, Ralph Harvey Thompson said that he was formerly a clerk of Mr. Terence Bellew M'Manus. Was so up to the time of his leaving Liverpool. It was on a Monday night, about the end of July. In p4ge 16 of the book he saw M'Manus's handwriting. The same handwriting was also in pages 35, 49, and 92. Knew the prisoner Murphy. Ho was intimate with M'Manus. They had lodged together. Page 41 in the book was in Murphy's handwriting; also pages 45 and 57, and the signatures in 93, 106, and 119. Knew the prisoner Delamere. He was in the employ of Tayleure and Copley, coal mer chants. He had before that been in the employ of Mr. M'Manus. Pages 62 and 85 in the book were in his handwriting. Delamere was in tke habit of calling on M'Manus. Dr. Murphy. Dr. Reynolds, and Smyth were also in the habit of calling. Mr. DEARSLEY—Did not Smyth speak in condemna nation of M'Manus's physical force notions? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the question. Thomas Staines knew Dr. Reynolds, and identified Dr. Reynolds's hand writing in the minute books. He also identified the handwriting in the books of tho pri soner, Dr. O'Donnell. Thomas Fell, a draper, in Liverpool, identified some of the handwriting in the books as that of Patrick O'Hanlon. Was acquainted with George Smyth. Saw his signature in pages 38, 65, and 83. A file of letters was here handed to the witness, two of which he iden• tified as the prisoner's handwriting. Thomas Holley was in the employ of Turner and Kilpin, joiners, in Liverpool. O'Brien was also in their employ. The witness swore to his handwriting in the minute book. Mr. Knowles then proceeded to read in detail from the minute books found in the possession of the prisoners, and which had been referred to by the Attorney-General in his opening address. Amongst the proceedings re corded was a protest against the Irish Crime Prevention Act, and a speech against it by M•Manus and some of the prisoners. Minutes of subsequent meetings de clared war to the Morning Chronicle, Times, Post, and the press generally. The minute disclosed a most voluminous account of the organisation effected, their general correspondence, and the continued formation of the clubs, and the pro gress made in arming. Amongst the correspondence which the reading of the minutes disclosed was that which had taken place between the various clubs in Liverpool and the Confederates in Dublin, and the suggestions made for a general organisation on the arrest of Martin, Duffy, and the other Irish prisoners. Several of the speakers declared that the covenant between the people and the Government was broken, and that we were with out a constitution. The letters found in the possession of the prisoners were then read by the Learned Gentleman. One of thern recommended that addresses should be sent to the people of France from all the large towns in England for their encouragement, and in order to attract the attention of Ministers. Charles Aldred, who called himself a newspaper re porter, read notes of the speeches alluded to by the Attor ney-General. Robert Roche, reporter, was present at a meeting in Queen's-square on the 26th of March. Mr. Doheny was one of the speakers. The evidence of this witness was proceeding when our report was dispatched. There were 51 witnesses on behalf of the Crown. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. Benjamin Masters, Mary, who lived with him as his wife, and John Thomas, were brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of Davis, a city policeman, charged with having committed frauds. The two first prisoners were well known as expert hands, and the de scription of their system, which it will be necessary for trades-people to observe, as the process was stated to be extremely successful, caused a good deal of interest amongst the policemongers i❑ attendance. Davis said—On Sunday evening I say the three priso ners in Leadenhall, and knowing them to be bad cha racters I watched them. Thnjamin Masters left the other two, and went into the shop of a tobacconist, where I was afterwards told he bought a pennyworth of to bacco, and paid for it with half a sovereign, and upon receiving the change pretended to recko❑ it, con cealed a shilling, and then told the shopman that another shilling was wanting. As the custo mer persisted in his statement, and the shopman thought it possible that he might have made a mistake, the shilling was handed over. Benjamin Masters then left the shop, joined his two companions, and off they walked into Gracecharch-street, where in an instant they disappeared. On Saturday evening I saw the three again in Leadenhall-street, and followed them. Masters and the woman went into the Mansion-house public.. house, and called for two pennyworth of gin, paid for it with half-a-sovereign, and received 9s. 10d. in change. The man suddenly slipped one of the shillings into his mouth, began to reckon up the change, and said to the barmaid, "Hallos, this is not right; I must have another shilling." The barmaid was about to give him the other shilling, but was informed by the street-keeper, whom I had told to keep an eye upon the pair, that the man had received 9s. 10d. from her. I then took the man and woman into custody; and the third prisoner, who was outside smoking a pipe, came in afterwards to see what delayed his friends, and was also apprehended. Other witnesses confirmed this account. Benjamin Masters said, that the first charge was al together without foundation, and thought the Lord Mayor would not suppose the tobacconist to be such a flat as not to know the difference between 9s. 10d. and Bs. 104., especially as a shilling would make a large hole in the profit in twopence worth of tobacco.—(Laughter.) As for the last case, he merely put the shilling in his mouth to see whether it was a good one, and was only joking when he spoke of a deficiency in the change. The policeman produced a basket which he had taken from the woman, and which contained sundry small articles, each of which must have cost about 2d. or 3d., and the presumption was that 10s. or 12s. were plun dered from tradespeople in the mere business of supply ing the basket. Davis said that the prisoners had scoured the metro• polis with wonderful success, and lived in very nice style upon the profits of their industry. It appeared that they kept a book containing a list of the shops they had visited. The LORD MAYOR said he felt much satisfaction in seeing before him persons who had been checked in such a career, and sentenced Benjamin Masters to imprison ment in Bridewell, as a rogue and vagabond for three months, the woman for six weeks, and John Thomas for one month. Masters—Well, I hope your Lordship will order that all the money the officers took from me may be restored to me. The LORD MAYOR—Not at all. It shall be entered open the back of your commitment, to be applied to de fray the charge of your support in prison. Mrs. Masters—l hope your Lordship will let me have my basket and the property in it. The LORD MAYOR—No. They shall be disposed of for your support in prison. Upon going down stairs to be locked up in the cage until the termination of the day's business, the woman said to her two companions, in the presence of the police man, " Well, I told you not to come into this City. I knew we'd catch it." A little afterwards they all ac knowledged that they had done wonders at the west end of the town, and that near Chelsea there had been nine distindt charges, each one of which was true, against them, but the fool of an inspector refused to notice any one of them, and, in the opinion of the female, that was a neighbourhood which they ought not to have left for the City. They all admitted that they had been in fifty prisons, but thena was no law to reach them. GUILDHALL. Mr. Benjamin Andrade, butcher, of the College market, appeared on a summons before Alderman Hum phery, to show cause why he detained 6 stone weight and 21bs of beef, the property of complainant. Mr. George Bentley, of Henrietta-street, Manchester square, stated that on Saturday morning he went to the College-market, and purchased three ;pieces of ribs of beef, at sd. per lb., which weighed 6st. 2lbs. He paid Mr. Andrade the sum of 1/. Os. 10d., and left the meat for a short time. On his return he was about to take it away, when he was prevented by the defendant and his man, who said that he had agreed to take four bits, the other being a part of the loin weighing 231b5., and on his refusing on the ground that he never purchased it, he was told that unless he did take it he should neither have the meat nor his money. Under those circumstances he took out the present summons. The defence set up by Mr. Andrade was, that he sold the four pieces to the complainant, and told his man to weigh them, but the latter made a mistake by only weighing three, and when the weight was called out he did not notice the difference, in consequence of being engaged with another person at the back of the pre mises. However, shortly after, he asked his man why he had not weighed the fourth piece, as it was pur chased, and on being told it was a mistake, and being likewise informed that his man had been tampered with by the complainant, who offered to give him half a pint of beer to throw a pound weight out of the scale, he (defendant) was determined to keep Mr. Bentley to the strict letter of his bargain, particularly as he left the least valuable piece of meat behind him. He, therefore, ordered that the meat should not be delivered up, unless the fourth piece was taken, according to agreement. The defendant then called his man, who spoke to its weight, and also swore that the complainant offered to give him a penny to throw out the pound weight. Alderman IlumPHEar —Did it not strike you, that if he intended cheating you, he would have immediately taken the three pieces away after paying you, instead of leaving them there and calling again?—Well, I did not think of that. It did not strike me in that way. Alderman HUMPHERY—You must return the money and pay the costs. The defendant paid the amount directly. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Charles Roland, a Swiss, who fills the office of clerk at the Swiss „Protestant Church in Moore street, was charged with a criminal assault on Frances Keast, a girl about thirteen years of age, but of the appearance of a child of ten years old. The girl's mother, it appeared, had been separated from her husband for some years. The prisoner visited the mother for the last three or four years, and had been accustomed to sleep in the same bed with the mother and the girl. About three years ago, the prisoner com menced indecently assaulting the girl. The girl told her mother on several occasions, but was either scolded or beaten by her. The prisoner continued from time to time his shameful conduct, accompanied by circum stances of disgusting atrocity wholly unfit for publica tion. From the evidence of the girl the prisoner had more than once committed a capital offence. The girl at last met with her father, and she told him of the pri soner's conduct and her mother's neglect. The prisoner was, accordingly, apprehended as soon as he could be met with. In defence, the prisoner said he had been a father to the girl, and it was quite absurd to believe that an old man like him could act in the way described. Mr. BmpLIAN ordered the prisoner to be remanded. MARYLEBONE. , THE LATE ROBBERY AT Ma. RIDOITT'S.--YeS ter day, Benjamin Jennings, and Elizabeth, his wife, were brought up in the custody of Sergeant Harrison, 14, and Price, 140, of the D division, on the charge of having been concerned in plundering the residence of C. G. Ridout, Esq., 11, Wirapole-street, Cavendish-squire. of plate and other property to the value of more than 200/ Some particulars connected with this case have already appeared. Mr. Ridout, with the whole of hi.: timrly, went into the country on the 29th of August last, leaving his servant, Elizabeth Rogers, solely in etre of the pre mises; in consequence of a communication subsequently made to him, he returned to town on the 2d of October, when he found that his plate, &c., had been abstracted from a cupboard, and after a most minute investigation by the officers above alluded to, and Constable Hand ley, 199 D, the woman Rogers and her sister, Isa bella Jennings, together with John Jeoning , , the husband of the latter, were taken up on suspicion of being some of the guilty parties. They underwent several examinations at this court, whence they were ultimately committed for trial; and, on their guilt being established to the satisfaction of a jury at the Old Bailey, they were convicted, but from some information given by one of the prisoners to Mr. Cope, relative to others being mixed up in the matter, and which infor mation ho (Mr. Cope) made known to Lord Denman, by whom the case was tried, his Lordship deferred the passing of any sentence until the ensuing session. Yes terday, the following evidence against the prisoners, who are closely related to the three already found guilty, was adduced. Mr. J. Arnott, manager to Mr. Gray, pawnbroker, 114, Fleet -street, produced two massive silver gravy spoons, and four table ditto, upon which he advanced to the female prisoner, on Sept. 22, the sum of 51., who was then very respectably attired, and represented that the articles belonged to a lady at Hackney, whose address she at the time gave. Mr. Ridout identified the said spoons as being a por tion of the plate stolen. Sergeant Harrison, and Price, the constable, deposed to their having on the previous evening took the prisoners into custody in a beer shop at Tottenham. When they were told the nature of the offence with which they were charged, the male prisoner said he knew nothing about it, and the wife said, " It's a very bad job; I wish I had never known them," alluding, of course, to the prisoners no w awaiting their sente nce . Handley stated that on the night of Thursday, September 21, he saw the prisoner Elizabeth Jennings in conversation with Mr. Ridout's servant Rogers, on the step of his (Mr. Ridout's) door. Many other particulars were gone into, some of which had a strong tendency to show the 'guilt of the female prisoner, but no evidence of anything like a conclusive nature was brought forward against her husband, to whom, however, much suspicion is attached, from cer tain observations made by him when he was captured by the police, as before alluded to. The prisoners, who both declared that they were en tirely innocent of the robbery, and asserted that the witnesses had sworn what was false, were remanded till Monday next; the male prisoner was told that he must put in bad for his attendance on that day, himself in 50/,, and two sureties in 401. each, but as he could not pro duce the required sureties, he and his wife were both I conveyed to prison in the Government van. THAMES. Mary Ann Smith, the wife of a shoemaker, named Sydney Saiith, residing at 25, Devonshire-street, Com mercial-road, was charged with stabbing a man named Johnson, who at present lies in a very dangerous state at the London Hospit a l. Ab ou t one o'clock on Sunday morning, Burns, 225 K, was informed that a murder had been attempted in Devonshire•street, and on enter ing the house, No. 25, he found the wounded man lying on a wretched bed, with no covering, and an assistant of Dr. Jarrett, a surgeo n , i n the Bac-road, probing the wound, which was two inches in depth, in the fleshy part of the buttock. The constable took the prisoner into custody, and on further inquiry it appeared that the wounded man lodged with the prisoner, and had failed to procure work. Sh e t aun t e d hi m with laziness. More words ensued, which were followed by a scuffle. She attacked him with a sharp shoemaker's knife, and he seized a chair for protection; a struggle ensued, and the wounded man in leaving the room sustained the injury described in the surgeon's certificate. Before the arrival of the constable the prisoner's husband, who was present at the time, wrenched the knife from her hand and threw it into a corner of the room, where it was found by the constable stained with blood. The prisoner was re manded until Monday, when it is supposed the wounded man wilt be able to attend. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS LIVERPOOL, DEC. U.

GORE'S NEW NOVEL, " THE DIAMOND AND THE PEARL."—This is one of Mrs. Gore's most ani mated and life-like productions; like all her works it contains many forcible sketches of character, and amus ing details of social life. The Diamond and The Pearl are the daughters of a rich baronet. Mrs. Gore has never previously pourtrayed a character so purely femi nine and amiable as that of Blanche. She is altogether different to the brilliant personages who usually figure as her heroines. Among the other characters of the book are some whose portraits, drawn by her practised and skilful band, will be easily recognised. These sketches, while they pique curiosity, and excite interest, will, assuredly, heighten her reputation as a novelist of society.—Britannia. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—DEAFNESS AND DEFECTIVE VISION.—THE EYES.-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. —Optical improvements to enable persons at an ad vanced age to read with ease and to discriminate objects with perfect distinctness. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians, have invented Spectacle Lenses, of the greatest transparent power. The valuable advantage derived from this invention over the Spectacles now in common use is, that instead of vision becoming strained, heated, weakened, and in numerous cases seriously injured, it is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occu pation, and can see with those Lenses of a much less magnifying power, and that which is a matter of the greatest consequence is that they do not require the frequent change to further helps. Also, Achromatic Telescopes, Opera Glasses, Microscopes, invisible and all kinds of Acoustic Instruments, for relief of extreme deafness. Caution—Messrs. S. and B.

DARING ASSAULT AND RoBBERT.—On Friday a most daring assault and robbery was perpetrated in open day, about one o'clock, about a mile from this city, on the public road to Kirkintilloch. It appears that the Barony Parochial Board had a number of able-bodied poor employed at out-door labour at Barnhill, on the above road, and yesterday being pay-day, the porter, Dugald M•Gregor, was proceeding to that place, at the time stated, with the money, amounting to 141. Ills., in silver and copper, for the payment of the men's wages. When turning the corner of the road, beyond the en trance to the Sighthill Cemetery, he was met by two men, one of whom threw the contents of a tin jug —a quan tity of soot and water—in his face, and then seizing him round the body, held him till his accomplice rifled his pockets, and took possession of all the money he had, with which, after throwing him down, they both de camped. On the poor man gaining his feet and his senses, the villains were out of his view. The supposi tion is that they were two of the able-bodied poor, who had the best opportunity of knowing M'Gregor, the time he would be on the road, and the prize of which he was likely to be possessed.—Glasgow Courier. Too GOOD A JUDGE.—The late Chancellor Kent (says an American journal) was exceedingly fond of martial music; and hearing the drums of a recruiting party, who had taken a station at the corner of the street, beating a point of war, ha walked out to listen to it nearer. Insensibly he was whistling the burden of the tune, when a man of war accosted him:—" You are fond of such music, then, my fine fellow?" " Very," was the reply. " Very," said Sergeant Kite, " then why not join us? Good ;quarters, good pay, large bounty. Be sides our captain is a glorious fellow. Why, won't you now? You can't do better?' " Well," said the Chan cellor, "I have one pretty strong objection." " What is it?" asked the sergeant. "I happen to have just now a better trade." " What trade?" said the inquisitor « am Chancellor of the State of New York." " interjected the sergeant. "Strike up! quick step! for ward! march!" Off tramped the military man looking behind him, leaving the Chancell or t o ' without enjoy his laugh at the adventure. THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

The Chelmsford show and market for fat stock, specially provided for the hospitable tables of Christmas, was held un Friday, and the extent and character of the supply showed that there is, for the present, little fear of a fa mine, or of a lack of the choice things of this life, in the festive season close at hand. Mauy of the oxen were fine animals, not fitted up at an enormous expense for effect on a show day--a system which is getting out of fashion—but just such beasts as are likely to be profit able to grazier and butcher, and most satisfactory to the consumer. The most splendid beasts in the market were two sent by Mr. Bewers, of Sandon Hall, and Con signed to Vl,,r. J. Maion, which attracted much attenrw to " from their condition and symmetry, and were 0 01 1 fat Mr. Wendon at 70/.
