(T.O trial of Mullins, oontinued from our Afternoon Edition.) laspector Russell, and several other policemen, proved finding in different places where some of the prisoners who were tried and convicted last session resided, a quaatitty of pikes, pistols, gunpowder, and balls. The Court here adjourned for half an hour. Thomas Barry, a shoemaker, of Lisson-grove, was cue of the members of the Chartist, Association in Aa4ust last. Had seen the prisoner Mullins at several meetings, and heard him addr ess them. On one one occasion he said it was necessary for every to prepare for the crisis that was coming, and it was also necessary for every one to make a s mall sacrafice to aid the Committ ee of Progress in their un dert,king. On the 16th of August recollected Mullins coming into a meeting ,that was held in witness's locality, when s man of the na..dmel w ` of Smith as afraid tapped him on the shoulder, and sai d , you was Luken; to which Mullins replied, of the name they Will only take me wit h my life." man of Cruikshanks followed Mullins into the room, and laid a musket on the table, there were several guns and pistols in the room. Smith said that they must s prepare to go to the S even Dials. A question wa were asked how they were t o take their arms, w called toothpicks, to which a reply was made, "in the best way they could." Witness then w ent to Crown seen - street, Soho, where he saw many persons he had at the meeting. Cross-examined by Mr. PARRY—Did not join the Chartists to betray them. lied had 11. a week since he had been unable to work at his trade. Had been in pri son for the unlawful possession of a pint pot. Had also been in prison about four years ago for taking s ome bread out of a baker's cart f o r a drunken spree. He had four months' imprisonment for it, as his companions ran away. He was living at Willesden at that time. Had never been found in a wiue-cellar at Willesden. When he was an apprentice, about nine years ago, he ha 1 been sentenced to a month's imprisonment for trespassing after game. Knew a man of the name of Russell, but had never been charged by him with stealing a cape. John Baldvrinson, tailor, ofWebber-street, Blackfriars road, proved that he was a class leader of the Chartists meeting at the South London Chartist Hall, and that on the day Eiliest Jones was tried he was at the George pnhlic-house in the Old Bailey, in company with the prisoner Mullins and others, when it was agreed that a meeting should be held of secretaries and delegates. Witness was not allowed to sit with them, as he was neither a secretary or a delegate. The prisoner Mullins wrote something on separate slips of paper, which he handed to each of them, and one to Pedley, who was then elected a delegate to the secret corn- Pyles' in Milton-street, On the following Wed ri,..clay, the 12th of August, witness went with Pr•dity and Mullini to Milton-street, and in going e—re the prisoner took them through some courts and ys, which he pointed out as good places from which t re upon the military and police. The rris..ner re .rked that if the alleys had not thoroughfares, they uld not do. The witness detailed further proceed of the Chartist body up to the 15th August, and red that he gave information to the police on the = a of August, after he and the others had been taken -1 custody at the Angel public. house. Frees examined by Mr. PAISRY —Did not intend to given up the men at the time he acted with them. • ..d a piko and a pistol, both of which he bought fur Itself in the month of June. :lenry Jones, a police-constaLle, proved that at four Gook on the morning of the 17th of August, he found a basket containing 280 rounds of perfect ball-cartridges, and 50 imperfect ones, in Clerkenwell Church-yard. • After the examination of Inspector Black, and several other members of the Metropolitan Police, who gave the same evidence they did on the trials of Dowling and Calfey, and the others tried at the last session, several chemical gentlemen were called, who proved that the dif ferent balls and articles found in the houses of the pri s._;ners who were tried last session were of a most dan gerous and combustible character.: Sergeant Thompson stated that he apprehended the prisoner on the 18th of September last at No. 4, Taths.m's-court, John-street, East-street, Old Kent-road. The prisoner came down stairs dressed in female clothes, and witness thought he was a female, till the prisoner held up his finger and said " I surrender." This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. PARRY then rose to address the jury on behalf of the prisoners, and was speaking when our Edition went to press. POLISH BALL AT GUILDHALL. The committee for the management of this enter tainment met at Guildhall on Thursday last. In the absence of Mr. Deputy Peacock, Mr. Holt, the deputy chairman, presided. The atten dance was very numerous, and great inte- rest expressed in the success of the ba. It was resolved that the ball and concert be given on Thursday, the 14th of Sovember next, and that _ . every exert ion should be made to render it as attractive as the former one. Lord Dudley Stuart then announced that several persons of distinction had already granted their patron aad promised to honour the ball with their presence, and that many distinguished artistes hare tendered their gratuitous services at the concert, which will be under the direction of Mr. Benedict and Mr. Lindsay Sloper. Some of the members present having expressed their sympathy and offered their co-operation with the object in view, Lord Dun Lex STUAaT rose and said—Gentlemen, I am eery happy to meet you here again, and once more to be associated with you in this good cause. The cause is a good one ; it is that of benevolence, cf kindness towards men in difficulty and distress; end. although it may want the charm of novelty, and nay not be so attractive to the public as it once was, the 'cause of Poland is, as it ever has been, that of truth and of justice. Without, however, ping into the merits of the Polish question at all in its political aspect—without inquiring whether it be such as to deserve our sympathy or nut—it is enough f - )r.• us to know that there are foreigners here among ei requiring our aid, and brought into the melan cl-oly condition of exile by their resolute discharge or' that which in their view they considered to be toeir duty. It is to assuage their pain, to 11,itigate their sufferings, and not for any political purpose, that those who promote the Polish ball combine together. We may hare, we have, different political views and feelings; and the Poles, like our st:,lres, must bare different political opinions ; but our object on this occasion is not to further or assist any political designs, either of our own or of theirs, but simply to render their lot more tolerable while they are among us, and to preserve them from complete des titution. We have never had any cause to complain of the support given us by the public ; neither shall we, I trust, on the present occasion ; but was the real state of things generally known, the feeling in our favour would be still stronger and more universal. What are the facts of the case ? Some few years ago there were about 700 P o l es rece i v i ng a weekly allowance from the Treasu r y, an d a b out s i xty or seventy whose cases did not come within the rules of the Treasury, and who formed a sort of supplementary body, and received weekly relief from the Association of the Friends of Poland The number of the former is now reduced to ab ou t 3.50, and that of the latter to about 30. The weekly allowances are, however, very small; for no man, let his rank in the army or in society be what it may (and some of them are of high rank) receives more than 15s. per week, while captains and subalterns receive but 10s. a week, and privates only 4s. 3d. I have always felt the officers to be greater objects of compassion than the private soldiers, not because they are in themselves more meritorious, but because their position in this country is much more different from what it was in their own, than that of the private soldier's is. We are all creatures of habit, and that will soon be felt if any one here present should con sider what amount of means would make a day labourer feel himself immensely rich ; and then reflect whether if he himself were told that the same amount was to form his sole dependence he would not think himself miserably poor. The money collected at the ball is employed by the association—first, in these small allowances to those not on the Government list, and next, in furnishing extra assistance to all Poles of good:conduct who may be overtaken by sickness, accilent, or any casualty. These, surely, are proper objects ; and those who employ in this manner furis collected at an entertainment which affords arnasement to a large number of persons, and occasions a good des! of money to be circulated, Hem to deserve rather encouragement than censure. Some persons seem inclined to grudge to us the use of the Guidhall, and:to think it would be better be stowed on some charitable undertaking for the relief of the poor of this country. But it does seem hard, when there are charities of every description for our own poor (as it is most proper there should be), when dinners, balls, concerts, sermons, bazaars, and every mode of obtaining assistance for the distressed of our own nation is continually put in practice in this metropolis, arid more especially in the city of London, that when we come forward once in the ear with a request to the Common Council, not for THE SUN-, money, but for the use of the hall, that any invidious comparisons between our object s and those of other acthtaertititpatblsehoinnlsdtihtue madetion sshtooulddepbreivedruaswonf, n tege which has been acc orded to us now for a series of years.

Hitherto we have never applied for the hall without obtaining it ; for it was incorrectly stated in the debate in the Court of ComenonlCouncil, that it was refused to us in the Mayoralty of Alderman Johnson, in order to be given to the City Ward Schools. It was not refused then ; for it was not applied for. Finding that it was required for a City charity in hands likely to make it successful, we made no application for it ; tbut, on the contrary, we gave to the ball got up for thelCity Ward Schools our active co-operation, and all the assistance in our power. Since 1834, when the first ball for the Poles was given at Guild ' hall, there has been a Polish ball here every year, with the exception of three, one of them being the year in which the City 'Ward Schools' Ball was g iven ; in the other years, no ball whatever having taken place, the hall was not asked for, and stood empty, a :fact which affords some colour to the opinion that it is not every charitable institu tion that can employ the hall advantageously, and that our balls, while they have benefited the Poles, have occasioned no loss to any one. How we might have acted with regard to the charity for which the use of the hall was asked the other day, in opposition to us, I am not prepared to say. If those who conduct it had had the courtesy to communicate with us, and satisfy us with regard to their objects and capabilities of making the hall available. It is possi ble that we might have made way for them, as we did for the City Ward Schools. As to their conduct, I do not wish to express an opinion further than to say, that if I know myself at all, I feel convinced that if I had found a charitable institution, no matter for whose benefit, which had been in the habit of obtaining the grant of Guildhall, I should never have come forward to interfere with them by asking for it for the Poles, or for any charity in which I felt a peculiar interest ; and that if I had felt bound by duty to do so, yet that, being on terms of acquaintance and friendly intercourse with those at its head, I should, at any rate, have been impelled by my own feelings of what was right and becoming to communicate with them on the subject, and assure them I was guided by no unkind motive. But no communication of any sort or kind was made to us of the intention of the society in question to apply for the hall ; we learnt it only from the formal official notice, and could not be expected, under those circumstances, to waive our claim. Whenever we come forward in behalf of the Poles some invidious comparisons are drawn between the claims of the Poles and those of our own poor. To the letter we are by no means insensible, and can safely appeal to all who are acquainted with our lives to say whether we are in any degree more niggardly than other men. But, while we are ready and,wi,l ling to assist our own people to the utmost of our' power, we do not wish to see the Poles, who have come among us to seek an asylum, find here nothing but a grave. It' that were served to happen the character for humane feelings and for generous hos pitality, which England has through all ages main tained, would be belied. It never will be so belied in this city. Some members of the Common Council in the recent discussion observed that, although they had not a word to say against the Poles, the City had done enough for them. I could not help re• marking that not one of those who spoke against the petition, not even the most vehement, said anything in disparagement:against the Poles; but every one, on the contrary, carefully guarded himself against being supposed to ground his opposition on any dislike of those brave patriots. With regard, however, to the observation, that enough had been done for them; I think those who made it forgot that the petition was not for any money, but simply for the use of the hall. I agree that the Corporation has done enough with reference to pecuniary assistance. Ido not forget, and none of the Poles, and none of the friends of Poland forget the munificence of the Common Council, which, a few years ago, voted a sum of 5001. for the relief of the Poles. That was a noble donation ; nobody would think of its being repeated; it was done once, and it was enough. What we have obtained now is not one farthing more from the funds of the Corporation, but simply the means of obtaining sup plies from those willing to contribute them. True it is that the Poles have been here for many years, and it is often said that they ought by this time to he Able to provide for themselves ; and so a great many have provided themselves either here or by removing else where, and hence it is that their number has within a certain period been reduced by one-half. But there are others who have not been so fortunate. Foreigners in this country always find a great difficulty in procur ing employment, and particularly those not bred to any particular trade or calling ; they are also without the resources which almost all the people have more or less in their own country, that of relatives in some degree better off than themselves to afford them tem porary aid of some kind ; and if it be difficult for them to find work at all times, it is doubly so in periods of general distress. Those who once em ployed them, perhaps cannot, from a change in their own circumstances, continue to do so. Thus many Poles who once could get a living here, now cannot, and they feel the hardness of the times to the full as much as our own people. Then it is asked, and sometimes in a tone of indignation, why do they not return to their own country ? If, indeed, they could do so, and they only remained here from choice, they would have little claim to our assistance. But the simple answer to the question " Why do they not go to Poland ?" is,—" they cannot." People suppose that, like Italians, Spaniards, or Germans, there is nothing to hinder their return, but that is a complete mistake. Poland being divided between Prussia, Austria, and Russia, those who belong to that part under Prussia have been at liberty to re turn any time since the accession of the present King, and they have all long been gone ; those be longing to that part under Austria have, since the new state of things in Germany, been at liberty to go to their homes, and have also gone ; but those belonging to that part under Russia, who are by far the most numerous, can no more return now than they could the year after the Polish revolution. They would be refused passports; and if they were to attempt to find their way into the country, they would at once be seized, and a dungeon or Siberia would be their fate. In the course of last month I attempted to transmit, through the intervention of a British firm, and the British consul in a Russian port, a letter from a refugee to his brother in Poland. The letter was open, and I was furnished with a translation. It related entirely to private and pecu niary affairs, yet such is the suspicion with which every person residing in the Russian dominions is viewed, who is supposed to have anything to do with a refugee, that neither the Consul nor the firm dared to transmit the letter, and it was accord ingly sent back to me. It is not many months since a young refugee, known to me, impelled by a sort of l irresistible desire to revisit his native land, determined, at all hazards, to make the attempt ; but he had scarcely crossed the frontier, when he was taken and —hung. The Poles, therefore, who are here do not reside here, as some seem to suppose, be cause they find it an eligible country, but i pst t uoo b tlti e etesh r c e atw c t o ht l po l o e a c rht t t h e d e el som , un P b,g r u because they canno t d o o th er wise ; for, let t s o s i a t h a a n t d Atria, pa u r s t o fy w n l h a i n l w ethey iaedhm is jec d t o to nnt ßu a s dsima.it France augment the numb er , d oes ; bat, no rot chale nscebeooslotgo supports n ngin t g a large numb er of Poles summer attempted to go there have w v not b e admite who o s havee n t back. a co thisl k e s coming from En g l an d ; and.

Some are in disposed to assist t on the conti nen t. Th ose who a reason are bound, I think, to state what they b e . likve the Poles to have done wrong; el se they will be open to the charge of vague prejudice. I do not mean to say that every Pole is immaculate.. But I really do not know that anything can be laid to their charge as a body. They have bees grossly calumniated with regard to their condu c t i n Prussi a ; but I believe that the press of this country, which, last summer, repeated stories about them, in vented by their German enemies, was grossly deceived on the subject ; a n d all those who have taken pains to inquire into the matter are now convinced that they were guiltless of the atrocities laid to their charge, and, at all events, much more sinned against than sinning. I know that they are considered by many as turbulent, un quiet spirits. For my part, I own, I think it is sur prising they are not much more so. If you maltreat people, enslave, oppress, and studiously demoralize them, deprive them of their country, persecute their religion, proscribe their language, and take from them every motive and incitement to be good citizens, or suffer those things to be done, you must not be surprised if those people are restless, un quiet, *disaffected, and reckless ; if they are filled with resentment, and ready fur any change. Suppose that such a thing were to happen as that this country were to be partitioned by foreigners, and that we were compelled to pay taxes to them, to see their language used in courts and public places, and to go to mass instead of to our own swrvice. I have a strong suspicion that we should be ready for any alternative, however desperate, that should give us but a chance of escape from such a state of things, and that we should care mighty little what foreign countries were inconvenienced or endan gered in our attempt to recover our rights. If that be so, we ought to look at least with compassion on the Poles, even when hurried into undertakings which we may disapprove cr condemn. At any rate we ought not to withhold sympathy from the many for the faults of the few, or punish the unoffending for the misdeeds of the guilty. Shall I suffer because Smith O'Brien is guilty of high treason ? Shall the Poles in England, whose conduct has been exemplary, be denied assistance because some other Poles in some other place are alleged to have done something worthy of reprobation ? The answer is obvious. 'The Court of Common Council have given it in granting the hall. You, gentlemen, whom I have the honour to address, have given it in offering here your services as a committee. The public will give it in crowding to Guildhall, and crowning our ball with that success which has never failed to attend it.—(Loud cheers.) The committee, after transacting some routine business, adjourned till Tuesday next. FRAN CE. In the course of the discussion on the decree appointing the 10th December as the day for the Presidential election, Count Mole said that he had been told that if the decree should not pass the Ministry would retire ; he added, that for his part he thought that the Cabinet would not refuse to add a service more to the important services it had already rendered. It was bound to assist the Assembly, and should have the courage to continue in office until it had completed the Constitution. General Cavaignac, President of the Council, who followed, began by protesting against an expression of M. Mole, who had said that the Cabinet threatened to retire. It had, he said, held out no such menace, and the Assembly and country would render him the justice to say that he had not imposed any conditions for his services. He was neither an ambitious man nor a traitor. Whatever might be the decision of the Assembly, he and his colleagues would not make it a Cabinet question. If they considered their continuance in office useful to the interests of the Republic, they would retain their func tions ; if not, they would not hesitate to re sign them without exposing themselves to the charge of desertion. They were influenced by no sordid attachment for power, they were animated by a sincere love of their country and a sincere devotedness to the Republic. It was they who had recommended a prompt appeal to the country, because they con sidered the adjournment of the question of the Pre sidency an immense danger for the Republic. DEN MARK. Letters from Copenhagen of the 12th, published in the Augsburg Gazette, informs us that the new elections are completed. The result, according to the reasoning of the Danish papers themselves, will be the overthrow of the Ministry as soon as the States assemble, its power having been already greatly weakened by the cessation of the war.

(From Dc Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.) Another fortnight has passed since our last issue, and we regret extremely t o state that instead of being able to report even a trifling improvement in the state of trade, era are compelled to note increasing dulness in every branch of commerce. Matters are daily growing worse and worse. We have made it a point of duty, on this occasion especially, to gather the statements of all classes of persons—merchants, storekeepers, trades• People, mechanics, and labourers —and the result of our inquiries h as b een one universal tale of gloom and dis- aster. We do not believe that there is any person in England who has ever considered the subject who is not conscious that the most deplorable state of affairs is consequent upon the manner in which this island, in common with the other colonies of Great Britain has been treated by the mother country. There is no o doubt whatever that bad as the principle of Fr Trade has proved itself, so far as these islands are concerned, its partial application has been worse a hundredfold. And there is but one remedy for our distress in the absence of that protection N% hie!' has been denied us. There is but one means by which England can remoro at least some portion of tho evil she has inflicted. We allude to the unrestricted ad mission of colonial sugar into the home markets. The colonists make this demand in the shape of a claim upon England, and while they clamour for it as the only means of their salvation, of their redemption fromutter ruin, they base their arguments on the most solid and were foundation on which it is possible to build up a case for compensation—tbe basis of justice. Slavery is unknown in Jamaica ; it was abolished by the mighty will of England Free labour, as has been proved be fore a Committee of the House of Commons, and as is obviously evident, is dearer by far than slave labour ; notwithstanding which, the British Governmert; has determined to admit foreign slave-grown sugar at the same rate of duty as is charged on British free-labour sugar, by which uct England not only drives the produce of her own sons' industry out of her markets, after tak ing from them the means of competition, but actually offers a high bonus for the continuance of a traffic which she has abolished in her own soil, and which she declares to be inhuman and illegal. Her ostensible object in this measure is purely and entirely the comfort of the English labourer, who must have cheap sugar, at least so we understand it, for we cannot sup pose that a nation like the English could have been swayed by the consideration of commerce with the slave. trading countries, at the expense of her colonies, and in opposition to the interests of humanity. Now, the ad mission of colonial sugar into the home markets duty free will be of material advantage to the English labourer, and will do no harm to any interest except the revenue; and England must make up the deficiency a hick this must cause from some other source, if she wishes to pre vent an abandonment of these islands; and for this simple reason—if we do not export, we cannot pay either for our clothing and other necessaries, or for the mainte nance of our institutions. We are already in an awful state of poverty, and unless something be done, and that speedily, for the benefit of the colony, the result will be that every one who can leave the British colonies to seek a home in the land of the stranger will do so. Heaven help those who cannot! If, on the other hand, our sugar be admitted duty free, there wili still be a glimmering of hope for us. We may then be permitted, post tenebras lucent sperare, to look forward to the blessing of a calm after a storm under which we are now being wrecked shall have passed away. The business of the past fortnight has been marked by increasing dulness. It is found impossible to effect anything like large sales of any article, and a cloud seems to hang over any attempt at business. If some thing be not speedily done for the colonies it is im possible to say what will be the result of the present stagnation. Flour—ln our last we noticed that prices were tending downwards; at low as•3os. had been accepted for New Orleans, and 32e. for Baltimore, while Alexandria and Georgetown had been disposed of in lots at 35a., and for a lot of 350 barrels to arrive in the Glamorgan from Baltimore 31s. was accepted. After the sailing of the last steamer the prices ranged as follows:—New Or leans, 30s. to 315.; Baltimore, 325. to 335.; Georgetown, 355. On the arrival of the home packet, which brought the news of the potato disease having again broken out in Ireland, some little excitement occurred in the flour market, and holders of Baltimore and New Orleans are now asking from 2s. to 4s. advance on the above prices. We have not, however, heard of any sales at these rates. Meal-200 barrels Georgetown have been sold at 18s. The stock is light. Rice—The 300 bags E. 1., reported in our last as sold to arrive at 11i. 6d. per 100Ibs., proved in landing to be of mixed qualities, and a reduction was made to 16s. for broken Bengal, and 15s. fur best Madras. E. I. may now be quoted at 16s. 6J., with a light stock. Caro lina, of which the supply is heavy, is dull at 19s per 1001bs. Bread—The stock is enormous, and it is extremely difficult to effect sales, owing principally to the inability of the labourers to purchase, the want of employment compelling them to subsist on the:produce of their grour.ds. 375 barrels New Orleans navy and rilot have been sold at 13s. per barrel. The article may be quoted excessively dull at 12s. to 14s. for pilot, and 13s. for navy. gutter—The stock of United States and of Nova Sco tian is heavy. Irish is moved at 1 I id. per lb., but only in very quantities. Bd. to BAd. and 9J. have been obtained lor United States in small lots. Nova Scotian may be quoted at Bd. The last mentioned description is much complained of as having been put 'up - with too much salt. Lard—A. small parcel of very superior quality brought 7d. per lb. There is not any now at market but what is soft and inferior. Prime is wanted and would command 7fd, per lb. Pork—American prime :(rumps) has been placed at 60s. ter barrel, prime mess at 665, and mess 70s. per bar rel. There is nothing to report in Irish. Hams--American, of superior quality, have been sold in small lots at 7kd. per lb. Cheese—D. G. is worth 11d. and American 6d. Brandy—Martell's dark commands ss. 6d. in bond. Tobacco—Cavendish is very scarce, and much wanted. Rum—Proof 21 has been taken at 3s. 9d., equal to 29. 3d. for exportation. We quote 3s. 6d. to 3s. 9d. for consumption. Sugar—Ranges from 15s. 6d. for dark, to 19s. to 20s. for fair. Corn—Carthagena yellow sells in small lots at 3s. per bushel.

OLD COURT. (Dc fore Mr. Justice MAULE and Mr. Justice WICHTMAY.) TRIAL OF MULLINS, TILE CHARTIST. (Contiuued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The witness (Powell) underwent, as on the previous occasions,.a very severe cross-examination. He said he went by the name of Johnson among the Chartist body. Ile joined them for the purpose of communicating to the police what was going on, and he did, from the begin ning of his connexion with the Chartists, communicate to the police everything that was done. Besides the name of Johnson, he said he might have been called by the name of Robinson by some of the Chartists, and he said he told them they might call him what name they pleased. He was questioned as to his connexion with a gambling booth at the races, and he admitted that he had acted as a " decoy duck " upon one occasion to in duce other persons to gamble. He said that some money was given to him, and he was nodded to when he was to put money on the board, and he was aware that he was not playing in reality, but merely to induce others to play. He then went through the story he told on the former occasions about his having walked matches as the " Welsh Novice," for the purpose of drawing custom to a public-house, but he denied having betted upon any of them, and said that he received no other remuneration than refr,sbment. He said he went to America some years ago for the benefit of his health, and did not in form either his wife or his father of his intention to do so, but he denied most positively that he bad committed a forgery upon his father before he started. He denied having told a man named Watson that he had com mitted a forgery upon his father, or that he wanted him to watch some people who were passing bad money, and told him if he did so, and was a witness for the police, he would get 3s. 6d. a day. He admitted having told a man named Osborn that he could point him out a man who would make him a pike. lie denied ever having said that he should not go ad.& witness any more for the police, for he only got 3s. 6d. a day, and he could get more money from the thieves. He likewisedenied that upon an occasion, when a man named Pennell told him they should never get the Charter by violence, he replied that the Government was a weak Government, and that they would blow Lord John Russell and Sir G. Grey to hell within a month. He said that he did not believe he had stated to a man named Bennett that be bad arranged a plan to take the Artillery-ground, and that he would carry it out if three or four more would join with him, but he would not state positively that he had not done so. He said that he was present at the meeting in Bonner's-fields, and he would not deny that he went about among the crowd and asked if they were armed, or that he did not say to a man named Green that he was not worth a as a Chartist if he had not got arms. He said he knew a man named Westmoreland, but he did not remember telling him that he had organized a plan for taking London and carrying out physical-force operations. He denied that a plan shown to him was one which he had himself made, and which he had shown to West moreland when he made the statement to him. He ad mitted that he had carried pistols and a sword about with him, and said that he did so to protect himself, and he also said that he had made a great number of ball cartridges, but that he did so for Gurney, one of the conspirators, and he also said that while this man was in custody he went to the cell where he was confined, and told him that if he would give evidence for the police. in this case, he would be paid a guinea a week for the rest of his life, but he said he did to upon his own responsi bility, and without any authority from the police authorities, and his object was to induce him to give evidence. The witness, in conclusion, declared, that he had come forward upon this occasion on his own respon sibility, and that he did not expect any reward for what he had done. Mr. Wilson, the landlord of the Black Jack, was then called to prove that a room in his house was engaged by Rose, on the 17th of July, for the purpose of a trade committee meeting, George Davis, the other approver, was, next examined, and he repeated the evidence given by him on the former trial. Ile stated that he joined the VVat Tyler brigade of Chartists at Greenwich on the 24th of May, and he said he was present at a meeting of Chartists at the George in the Old Bailey on the 10th of July, the day on which Ernest Jones was tried in this court for sedition. About 20 persons were present, and the prisoner was among them, and after a short time he said it was a shame that the prisoners should go to prison without some attempt being made to rescue them; and he added that the van would go through Cow-cross on its way to Coldbath fields, and that it would be a good place to attack it, and he said he knew a friend, who he understood to be a man named Daly, who would lead out the Irish living in the neighbourhood for that purpose. The witness went on to say that he was present at the meeting at the Black Jack public-house on the 20th of July, and said he saw Powell, whom he knew by the name of Johnson, present, and he confirmed his evidence as to what took place on the occasion, and particularly as to the fact of the prisoner being appointed one of the ul terior or secret committee. Inspector Mark, of the R division of pace, was here examined, and he stated that he was in communi cation with the last witness upon the subject of the Chartist proceedings, and that he reduced to writing the statements he made to him, which he signed, sifter wards. He added, that he knew nothing of 'Powell at the time he was in communication with the witness Da vis. He identified some documents put into his hand as the same he so drew up. The ATTORNEY. GENERAL then proposed to put these papers into the hands of the witness Davis, to refresh his memory. Mr. PARRY objected to this being done, but The COURT ruled that the course suggested by the Attorney-General could be adopted. The witness Davis was then recalled, and the papers were put into his hand for the purpose stated by the Attorney-General, and he continued his evidence, giv ing the details of the various meetings at which he was present, when the prisoner and the other persons men tioned by the witness Powell took part in the proceed. ings. He stated that the prisoner at one of the meet ings proposed that barricades should be erected from Tottenham-court-road to the Seven Dials, and that the whole of the Seven Dials should be barricaded ; and Holborn should be barricaded to a brewhouse at the corner of Liquorpond-street, which they were to make themselves masters of ; and then they were to barricade St. Martin's. le-Grand, and to take possession of St. Paul's Cathedral, and if they could not do so they were to burn it. They were then to go to Doctor's commons, and along the back streets to the Temple, pulling down Temple-bar, and erecting a barricade thereon. Thence they were to go to Somerset-house, and then to Covent garden, sad so round to the Seven Dials again. The prisoner also suggested that when the barricades were erected the stones should be placed diamond fashion, and that a portion of their body should be specially em ployed to break open the gunsmith's shops and fire the houses and other premises. At the time of these pro ceedings, Brewster, who took an active part in them, was a special constable in the service of the East India Company. He likewise said at another meeting, when a proposition was made to break open the prisons, it was stated by Lacy that the men of Westminster did not require any assistance in this respect, for that the re spectable inhabitants of Duck-lane and Pye.street had friends within the prisons were Ernest Jones and their other friends were confined, an d t h ey were as anxious to get them out as they could be themselves.—(A laugh.) After the witness had given some further evidence, the Court adjourned, the jury being taken, as on t h e former occasion, t o th e London Coffee-house, in charge of an officer. Just before the Court adjourned, Mr. Harker,the chief usher, s t a t e d t h at while the jury had retired to take refre s h ment i n the middle of theday the coat of one of them h a d b een sto l en from the jury 1; ox. s. NE IT COURT. William Parsons, aged 44, plasterer, was indicted for stealing the sum of 301., the property of Sarah Adams. The prosecutrix stated herself to be a servant out of place, having last been in service in Paris, where she had saved up the sum named in the indictment, On 'the 3d of October she arrived in this country, and met the prisoner in the New-cut, and asked him if he could re commend her a lodging; upon which he took her to a lodging house in Whitehorse-street. After she had been in bed a sbort time, she saw him come into the room and take her pocket, containing the money, with which he went cff before she could stop him. On the following morning she informed the keeper of the lodging-house, and gave such information as led to the prisoner's apprehension. The other evidence proved, that when the prisoner introduced the woman to the lodging he did not make any secret of who he was, but, on the contrary, told the daughter of the lodging-house keeper that he was a member of the same club that her father belonged to, which turned out to be true. _ The police having pri;;;d that when the prisoner was charged the prosecutor offered to compromise the matter for a sum of money; and the other testimony not being at all conclusive, the Common Sergeant directed the jury to Acquit the prisoner. James flare, aged 37, mercer, and Charles Rehden, 20, collector, were indicted, the former upon four charges of larceny, and the latter with receiving the property, knowing it to have been stolen, and also with harbour ing and assisting the first-named prisoner in the com mission of the offences. Mr. Ballantyne defended the prisoner, and Mr. Clark son prosecuted. . The prisoner Hare begged to retract his plea of " Not Guilty," and plead " Guilty. From the statement of Mr. Clarkson and the evi dence, it appeared that the prisoner Hare, who is res pectably connected, and uncle to Rehden, was formerly in business as a draper, but for a length of time past had been living by defrauding the wholesale and retail drapers of the metropolis, and during his career he had obtained property, consisting of satins and shawls, amounting to some hundreds of pounds in value. His mode of acquiring the property was by going to the va rious drapers to whom he had b e en k now n when in bu siness, or to whom he could obtain an introduction, and obtaining goods upon sale or return, which he pawned as soon as in his possession. Information of his depre dations having ;been given to the police, Hayden and Webb, two officer,s of the City, were instructed to ap prehend Hare. On the 3d of October Haydon re ceived a communication from Rehden, requesting him to meet him at the Red Lion public-house in St. John -street, where he would give him information that would lead to the recovery of the greater portion of the stolen property. Upon Haydon seeing him Rehden told him, that, if he would give him three sovereigns, he would give him information that would en able him to apprehend his uncle and lead to the re covery of the greater portion of the stolen property. Haydon upon that gave him the money, which he had no sooner got than he laughed at him, and told him he would find his uncle at the station in Bow lane; that he (Rehden) had given information to an officer named Co3ke, who had that day taken hum.

On Saturday evening last there was considerable ex citement in the neighbourhood of Laiva, owing to the exercise of some disputed rights of property in a very awkward manner for the railway company, by Mr; Al derman Johnson, the late Lord Mayor of London: The company had commenced the formation of a double line of railway from Crabtree towards Mitley,:and as it has to pass the Dartmoor Railway, of which Mr. Alderman an Johnson is mortgagee in possession, that gentlemahn makes claim for a certain amount of compensation, which either o t f o ut nh de iit railway company tdnowneoettc.onAsidt earlrligehvetnotrthmahvree.

Here the masons are actively engaged in erecting the buttresses, &c., for the arch that is to be thrown across Union-street. The works at the terminus in the field at the back of the Union Baths, are also rapidly developing themselves. Very much of the timber and masonry work is erected, so that the buildings begin to assume some thing like a fixed character. . hot ea sr Yes-g e the THE BRITANNIA.

AMERDEEN.—A meeting of the contractors on this railway was held on Thursday, at Stonehaven, convened in consequence of certain orders having been gi►en to them, by the Directors of the Aberdeen Railway Com pany, to suspend their works entirely, and in consequence, also, of certain misunderstandings in regard to the com. pany's engineers and the referee for the contractors. The meeting was attended by almost all the contractors. The chair was filled by Mr. Forbes. The meeting were unanimous in their resolution to disregard the company' s order to suspend the works, and resolved to apply to the court for authority to finish their respective contracts, under the inspection of the original referee, Mr. Gibb.— Scots n. NATIONAL GUARDS. VISIT TO TUB lIRAD QUARTERS OF TUE ARTILLERY COMPANY. -011 Thurs, day evening about sixty of the National Guards of Paris, headed by Brigade• Majors Chobier and Nalf, Captains Tarry, Barroir, - Ribancourt, Perrelle, and several other officers, visited thie ancient corps, and wit nessed the drill, under the direction of Sergeant-Majo r Hunle, of the Coldstream Guards ; afterwards a dis play of fencing, single stick, and, as a wind-up, a little English boxieua with the gloves ; at all of which they expressed themselves much pleased. Owing to the shortness of the notice of their intention to visit the Armoury House there had been no time to prepare uny entertainment for them, bat, under the orders of Major Barnard, a supper was hastily pro vided, at which several toasts, all tending to the most friendly and cordial feeling between the two nations, were drunk. That of the Queen was proposed in ele gaiit language by Major Chobier, and responded to with the greatest enthusiasm. A most cordial invitation was given to the corps to return the visit at Paris, and the meeting broke up with mutual feelings of satisfaction and pleasure. him, that if he did not return him the money he had given him he should take him into custody for obtaining money under false pretences, when he said he might do his best, and refused to return the money. Haydon then tcok him to the Bow-lane station, where they found Hare in custody. Rehden then gave his address;.lo, Powell-street West, King-square, Goswell-street, where it was found out that he lived with his mother. Upon the police searching the place they found a portmanteau, in which was a list of the goods which had been ob tained, and 60 duldicates relating to the property *hipli had been pawned. It subsequently transpired that tile portmanteau belonged to Hare, and had been left there, and thkt Rehden was unacquainted with its contents. Evidence having been given that Rehden had always borne an excellent character, and had only pledged one piece of satinet, and that under the direction of his uncle, the jury acquitted him. The Comisox SERGEANT then sentenced Hire to be transported for seven 3 ears upon two indictments, the period of the second seven years to commence on the ter mination of the first. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mr. Matthew Forster, the Member for Berwick-on- Tweed, ri siding at Belleisle House,' Hampstead, was summoned before Mr. Alderman Gibbs for refusing to pay his legal and proper fare, under the following cir cumstances : Martin Walsh, the conductor of one of Mr. Sinnett's omnibuses, stated that on returning from the City to the Great Western Railway, on Saturday, the 21st of October, Mr. Forster rot int o hi s omn ib us i n th e City road, an d rude as far as Broad-street in the City; but that previous to getting out he asked witness for 2d., without tendering any money. He (Walsh) told him that the proper fare was 6d , but the. defendant on slighting refused to pay, and went into the London Club House, where Mr. Forster eventually gave his address.,,, A gentleman who attended for Mr. Forster, - and .aid that he was his nephew, contended that his uncle had no • obligation to pay more than 4d., as it was a well-known fact that all the omnibuses on that road ran for that sum. When 6d. was demanded, Mr. Forster, as well as the other passengers, was surprised, and thinking .he • was being imposed on he refused paying the fare, and allowed himself to be summoned for the purpose of - placing the public on their guard. Alderman GIBBS asked the conductor if he had the fare properly painted up ? Walsh replied that it was painted on the door, and he called the defendant's at tention to it. Alderman GIBBS wished 'to know if there was, any other fare than 6d? Walsh replied there was not, as the railway company would not allow them to run for leas than 6d., being of opinion that if they did so. there would not be that proper accommodation for railway travellers which was requisite. Mr. Forster's representative urged that the complain.; ant had evaded the Act of Parliament (6th and 7th Vic toria), by having the fare painted on the door below the seats, instead of having it painted on a " conspietions part of the omnibus. Alderman GIBES considered the case had been proved. It was proved that the fare—and the only-fire which the proprietor could charge—was painted on the door inside, according to the Act of Parliament, and therefore hi must order Mr. Forster to pay the sixpence demanded, as well as 3s. costs, and 41. to the conductor for two days' loss of time. The money was immediately paid, • the gentleman attending for the defendant expressing a hope that pub licity would be given to the case, so as to warn omnibus travellers against an error they might fallintnby getting into a railway omnibus with the idea that they were• riding in a cheap one. MARLBOROUGH;•STREE T. Charles Whitehouse, Jotia Thichstone, William Barrid, and James Thomas (the latter an assumed name), were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having' created a disturbance in the public streets at one o'clock in the morning, and with having assaulted Polide:con stabla Boyce, C 181. The constable stated, that about one o'clock he heard a great disturbance in the Regentquadrant, and otrgoing. to the place he found Whitehouse and another person fighting together. He parted the combatants, and was, afterwards attacked by Whit e h ouse , ' w h o th rew hi m down on the pavement. Ile got up and seised White house, and he also managed to give his rattle to a person' near hint in order to summon assistance. Barrett #- terfered, and tried to rescue Whitehouse, and ii;:sett• of general melee ensued. By this time several Constables had made their appearance, and, with their assis tance, the four defendants were lodged in the statiort.' house. The defendants, who were young gentlemen 'appi. rently rather fresh upon town, did not deny the charge; with the exception of Barrett, who said he did not . m. teeters in an way. Mr. BINGHAM, after lecturing the defendants, fined Whitehouse 405., and discharged the others. THAMES. Samuel Crow, the well-known Essex hurglarrwbe . escaped from the rural police on the nighlOr the 31st ult. while they were in close pursuit of him, by breaking through the roof of the "Black Horse Inn, Coggeehalt, where he was concealed, was brought up before Mr. LP Keit, who sat for Mr. Yardley. The prisoner Was locked up in one of the cells ah tacked to the station-house, adjoining the court, and in the afternoon he was conveyed to Witham, In Essex* where he was delivered to the constabulary force. The officers who captured him in London would not risk a second escape, and the prisoner was securely handcuffed to Puddiford, on the journey to Witham. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.
