THE ABOLITION OF JEWISH DISABILITIES. CAMBRIDGE, A meeting, conversed by requisition, was holden yesterday evening in the Town-hall, the Mayor in the chair, "to consider the propriety of petitioning the Houses of Parliament to pass a Bill for the relief of the Jews from the civil disabilities under which they labour. The Mayor presided. _ _ Mr. W. - ASHTON (Clerk of the Peace), in moving 1 the first resolution, said that he considered the re moval of the Jewish disabilities a measure of justice to the only portion of his fellow-countrymen who were excluded from a seat in Parliament. This was not a time to contend that the Jews were not as respectable a class of society as any other. The matter had been treated as a religious question, but in his idea wrong fully. Mr. P. 13EALEs seconded the resolution. Mr. R. M. FAWCETT considered himself entitled to move an amendment. He should do so, that it might be known not only to the inhabitants of Cambridge but to the world at large, that they were not unani mous ; also to strengthen the hands of their respected member, Mr. Shafto Adair, who had promised his consistent opposition to this innovation upon a Chris tian people.—(flisses, and cries of" We'll vote for Adair no more.") He had attended to propose an amendment as a matter of duty, and not with any idea that it would be carried. He merely meant to enter his protest. The measure had not been desired by the Jews as a people, no agitation had been raised by them like that which preceded the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, Catholic Emancipation, or the Reform Bill, and it was his firm belief that the honest and straightforward Jews did net want it.— (Laughter.) He would move— " That this meeting views with dissatisfaction a Bill now before Parliament to relieve the Jews from the disabilities under which they now labour." Colonel GLOVER seconded the amendment. Mr. T. MORTLOCK declared his unqualified opposi tion to the object of the meeting. After some few observations from Messrs. W. Ekin, H. S. Foster, R. Foster, J. D. Fetch, and R. Newby, in speaking to some minor resolutions, having for their object the obtaining of signatures to the petition, and its presentation in the House of Lords by the Duke of Bedford, and in the Commons by Mr. Shafto Adair and the Hon. Mr. Campbell, the petition was read. From its brevity it is somewhat a curiosity : " To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled. " The petition, &c., showeth,—That your peti tioners have observed with satisfaction the introduc tion of a Bill into the Legislature for the removal of the Jewish disabilities, and do most earnestly pray your Right Honourable House to pass the same into a law." The meeting then broke up, Mr. Fawcett having retired some time previously. GERMAN PAPERS. RUSSIA AND POLAND. PROM THE RUSSIAN BOUNDARY, J. 19.—The le v y o f recru it s occas i o ns much surprise. None are exempt except those who are so by their official situations or incapacity, and even lads of 16 are entitled. In answer to the ques tion whether the sons of such officers of the State whose position accords them the privileges of nobility are exempt from military service, it is stated that only the sons of those who possess the rights of hereditary nobility, as well as of those landowners whose nobility has been ac k n owledged in regard to the privileges of the Ordinance of 1836, are not subject to be entitled as recruits.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before the CIIIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) REGINA V. GOOCII AND OTHERS. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) At the close of the case for the Crown, The Learned COUNSEL for the defendants sub mitted that they were entitled to a verdict, as the facts showed that in point of law the full duty had been paid according to the entry and the approval of the surveyor, by whose acts the Crown was bound. Sir F. PoLLocx—Do you mean to contend that the Crown would be bound by the assent of the sur veyor to the value entered by the importer, after he had been bribed to give that assent to a false entry ? Mr. MARTIN—Yes, my Lord ; I go as far as that. Sir P. PoLLocx—Then I must say that I wholly dissent from such a dangerous doctrine. The Crown is not bound by the acts of its servants and officers ; and it is open to the Attorney-General to sue upon the bond at any lapse of time, however great, though he is precluded from recovering any penalties on that ground. The Learned JUDGE then left the case to the jury in accordance with this view of the law, to which a bill of exceptions was tendered by the Counsel for the defendants; and, after a brief deliberation, The jury returned a verdict for the Crown for the penalty of the bond ; it being their opinion that the goods in question had been fraudulently removed by the defendants from their warehouse before the full duty had been paid upon them. Verdict for the Crown accordingly. CITY COUNTY COURT', Wednesday. (Before EDWARD BULLOCK, Esq., Judge.) KENDALL V. BRADBURY AND EVANS. The plaintiff in this case is foreman to Messrs. Skinner and Haines, the extensive builders, and the defendants are the proprietors of Punch, and for merly were the proprietors of the Daily News. The amount sought to be recovered was W. 58., which sum had been paid for refreshments supplied to workmen in the employ of the plaintiff during the progress of some extensive alterations and improvements at the Daily News office. The plaintiff proved that he was authorised by the defendants to pay for the articles supplied. The defendants having allowed judgment by default, The Learned JUDGE made an order for the amoun claimed to be paid forthwith. BLOOMSBURY COUNTY COURT, Feb. 2. (Before J. Dußois, Esq , Deputy Judge.) COURTNAY v. MADDOX. This was an action brought by an actor, recently engaged at the Princess's Theatre, against Mr. Mad dox' the lessee, to re cover th e :,um of 1 1.75. 6d. one week's salary. , The plaintiff stated that Mr. Maddox engaged him on the 4th of October last, at the commencement of the season, until Easter next, at a salary of 1/. 7s. 6d. per week, but discharged him suddenly on the 15th of last month. The plaintiff stated that on Friday, the 15th of January, he went to the theatre to rehearse a part in the Young Guard, and as it was not customary to act with that vigour and animation by day as before the public at night, he simply went through the neces sary duties. Mr. Maddox, who was on the stage, found fault with his acting, and said, " That won't do. That's not at all like it ; you can act very well on a horse's back at Astley's, why can't you act here P" Plaintiff answered that he could not at rehearsal, and Mr. Maddox said that he should, and at last ex claimed, "Turn that blackguard off the stage." Plaintiff then called him au "insulting dirty beast," and not wishing to be kicked off the stage, he walked out of the theatre. The next day (Saturday) he went to the theatre for his salary, but was offered only 11. ss. for five nights' services, instead of his full salary of 11. Is. Gd. He now sued for the latter amount. Mr. Thomas said his defence to the action was that Mr. Maddox was justified in turning the plaintiff away. The plaintiff himself admitted that he called Nlr. Maddox opprobrious names, and he (Mr. Thomas) should show that the plaintiff was injuring the part—that he would not produce its proper effect before the audience on the night of performance. Mr. Maddox, the lessee, said the rules of his theatre were, that if any actor refused to perform his part properly he was liable to a fine of three weeks' salary, or instant dismissal. In the present case the plaintiff was rehearsing with Madame Anna Thillon, and it was of the highest importance the manager should know how the part would be represented at night. The plaintiff had obstinately refused to show him how he would play the part. John Craddock, the call. boy, having given evidence as to the insulting words used by the plaintiff, The JUDGE said the plaintiff must be non-suited. He said that he could not rehearse the part as he would act it, and must bear the consequence. He might, however, at the close of the season, sue in a superior court for the whole sum. Non-suited accordingly. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) FORGERY ON THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday) The prisoners Kauffman and Fredeburg, who had been identitied us the parties who purchased the ma terials used in manufacturing the notes, denied all knowledge of the forgery. Kauffman said he ac companied Fredeburg to make the purchases because Fredeburg could not speak English ; while Fredeburg, who was a lithographer, protested that in partici pating in the forgeries he was ignorant that he was doing anything wrong, and acted more in the ca pacity of a servant to the principals in the transaction than as an accomplice. The Learned JUDGE summed up with great care and minuteness, and The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty against both the prisoners. Sentence was' ; deferred until the sitting of the Court to• morrow morning. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE, A mere boy, named Charles Hall, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having been concerned in stealing a box of clothes. A lad named William Haggerty, in the service of Mr. Jones, newsvender, of Bircm h-lane, sa id—. Shortly after seven o'clock I was going over London bridge, and I saw a man go up to a carriage which was passing gently along, and pull from behind it the box now produced. He then walked to the pavement with the box under his arm and put it upon the shoul ders of the prisoner, who began to move rapidly along. The man crossed over, and on they both passed till they came near the steps, where I told the policeman what I had seen. The policeman imme diately seized the box and the prisoner, but the man who had deposited the box on the prisoner's shoulder made a blow at me and ran off; and the prisoner also tried to escape, but ineffectually. The policeman confirmed the lad's statement, and stated that he found th e owner o f the property. Mr. Paiss, of Denmark-hill, wholesale druggist, stated, that the box, which belonged to his sister-in law, had been corded to the back of his chaise. The prisoner said he was quite surprised at being told that he had a stolen trunk in his possession, for a gentleman who was passing over the bridge had promised him id. to carry it a little way. He could not tell the Lord Mayor where he lived, because he did not wish his mother to know anything about such a charge. He would much rather not say any thing about his residence. It would not throw any light upon the subject. Remanded for further inquiry. The LORD MAYOR acknowledged the receipt of 101. from " M. W.," through the house of Iloare and Co., and half of a 51. note from a " Freeholder and Citizen." WORSHIP-STREET. Harriet Warner, a little girl scarcely 12 years of age, was charged by her mother, a p oor widow, with various acts of robbery. The statement of the mother, who was very much affected, was, that the prisoner had for a long.ti me past been in the habit of pilfering and selling a l mos t everything she could lay her hands upon in order to furnish herself with the means of gratifying an in ordinate propensity she had for visiting low concert rooms and cheap theatrical entertainments; and that, not satisfied with the depredations she committed upon herself, she had also , upon v ar i ous pretences, obtained sums of money in the witness's name from persons upon whose employment she depended for subsistence, and from the house of one o f t h ese stole and imme diately disposed of two watches, the value of which the witness h a d s i nce b een compelled, w i th d i stress i ng inconvenience, to reimburse to their owner by weekly instalments. All these offences she had repeatedly forgiven, in the hope that her forbearance would in duce an amendment in her daughter's conduct, but without her leniency having the slightest effect, as on Friday last, having missed the prisoner from the house for some time, her apprehensions became ex cited that she had again robbed her , and discovering, upon looking for her clothes, that nearly the whole of them had disappeared likewise , she gave notice to the police, and the prisoner, who did not return, was a t last taken into custody. Mr. llanson, a pawnbroker at lloxton , produced a large bundle, containing numerous articles of wear ing apparel, which:had been pledged at his shop on the day they had been stolen from the prosecutrix, and which were identified by her as her property ; but he was unable to positively swear to the accused as the person who had so pledged them. Upon being asked if she wished to say anything in answer to the charge, the prisoner, who did not'dis play the slightest feeling for the distress her mother exhibited, merely shook her head and maintained a sullen silence. Mr. ARNOLD said, it was certainly a very di3tress ing case, and as it was necessary that he should take some time to consider what was the most advisable course to pursue with a girl of such tender age, he should order her to be brought up again in a week, when he would determine what should be done with her. CLERKENWELL. Joseph Stevens, a smartly dressed youth, was charged by Mr. Della Torra, looking-glass maker, of Lamb's Conduit-street, with stealing a valuable looking• glass. It appeared that on Tuesday afternoon last the prisoner was observed to enter the shop of the prose cutor and walk off with the property, when being suspected by a passenger he was pursued and given into custody. Several respectable tradesmen attended to complain that they were daily plundered in this way, and that they were not efficiently protected by the police, for which they were heavily taxed. Scarcely a day passed by without robberies being committed upon them, and thieves escaped because there was not a sufficient number of police to watch the neighbour hood. Sergeant Lester, 10 E, said there were two police men appointed to watch that particular street ; but the robberies were mainly attributable to the parties themselves, who left the shops and property without proper protection. Mr. COMBB suggested, that lif they had any case of complaint they ought to apply to the Commis sioners of Police. An overseer, one of the board of guardians, said that he had been robbed, and he had made a com plaint to the police without effect. The prisoner reserved his defence, and begged of Mr. Combe to commit him to Newgate for trial, and not to the Middlesex Sessions. Mr. ComnE—Why do you wish to go to the Old Bailey ? Prisoner—Because I shall have a fair trial there. Ile was fully committed to Newgate. James Doddridge was finally examined, charged with having extensively plundered his employer, Mr. Hammond, ironmonger, of Old-street, St. Luke's. Mr. Ilobler attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Humphreys for the prisoner. The prisoner, it will be recollected, was remanded for Mr. Combe's consideration and decision in re ference to the application of Mr. Humphreys, to deliver up to tl.e prisoner considerable property which was found in his possession when he was appre hended ; and which was objected to by Mr. llobler. Some additional evidence was taken, when Mr. Humphreys renewed his application. Mr. CoMaE said, it was a very peculiar case. Ho had made inquiries and maturely considered the ques tion ; and he decided not to make any order as to the property, but to leave it for the prisoner's trial. The prisoner was then fully committed to Newgate. We are requested to state that the second half of a 51. note, No. 25,669 (the other half having been pre viously acknowledged), has been forwarded to the poor-box of this court by " W.," with a request that the receipt of both might be acknowledged for the satisfaction of the benevolent donor. IVES TM/NS TER. Mr. Symonds, one of the inspectors of the B divi sion, informed the Magistrate that John Wilson, whose name appeared upon the charge-sheet as having been drunk and incapable of taking care of himself in Tothill-street, at half-past five that morning, had died about three hours afterwards, in the station-house. It was found on inspecting the cells that the poor man (supposed to be a mendicant, nearly seventy years of age) was ill, and he was immediately brought out to the fire, and medical aid sent for, but he died almost immediately. Mr. Ilim)Euir directed that the necessary notice should be given to the Coroner. SOUTHWARK. John Roberts was brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged with stealing a quantity of gutta percha, the property of a tradesman in the Borough. A policeman stated, that on the preceding after noon he met the prisoner hurrying along Bird-cage alley, carrying a roll of gutta percha on his shoulders. Suspecting he had stolen the article he stopped him, and on questioning him he dropped his load on the ground and tried to escape. He was stopped, how ever, and desired to carry the gutta percha to the station-house, which he refused, and insisted that the policeman had a right to perform that task himself, which he was ultimately compelled to do, taking care, however, to secure his prisoner and take him th€re also. Subsequently it was ascertained that the gutta percha was stolen from a tradesman's shop-door near the spot where the prisoner was stopped. The prisoner, in defence, said, that the gutta percha was given him by a strange man, who was to have given him a shilling for carrying it for him; that being out of work he gladly accepted the offer, when he was pounced upon and taken into custody. The MAGISTRATII asked him, where the man was by whom he was employed ?—The reply was, that he " bolted" when he saw the policeman. Mr. COTTINGIIAM said, that was the common de fence of persons stopped in the streets with stolen property, and that lie should give the prisoner an opportunity of making that defence before a jury by committing him for trial. ,DVE RTISEMENT.]--WOUIIaS in the Leg that had brew bad for years, cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills. —M r .
