At a PUBLIC MEETING held on TUFSDAY, the 24th No vember, of the Merchants, Tradespeople, and Inhabitants of the Borough of COLCHESTER. and neighbourhood, convened by the Worshipful the Mayor, in purstiance of a requisition numerously and respectably signed, for the purpose of taking into ccnsideration the subject of the Eastern Counties 11ailwav from London to Norwich. and .Yarmouth,- by Ilornford, Clielmsfc;rd, Colchester, and Ipswich; Sir - ono. HENRY SMIYTII, Bart., 111. P., in the Chair. The Plans and Estimates of the Railway having been submitted and explained 'o the :Meeting by a Deputation of the Provisional.

The Speech of her most Catholic Majesty the Queen-Regent of SPAIN, on opening the general Cortes of the kingdom on the 16th instant, has been received in the British capital. It is a most masterly, as well as a most important document. The Reformers of Great Britain and Ireland, who have been so often taunted with their, sympathy for a pseudo-liberal sys tem in Spain, have now the gratification to learn that their efforts have not been misdirected, and that the. . Spawn Government seriously contemplates the esta blishment of a political system in that country, which shall'have for its model the British Constitution. In fact, the very germ of that Constitution is comprised in the projects of law which her Majesty the . REGENT informs the Cortes are about to be submitted.to them —namely, a sound, 'system of popular representation ; liberty of the Press ; and Ministerial responsibility. The people do not want—the people cannot possibly asklor more than this, if they would preserve the very. beirifirra - Monarchical Government. Any system of popular representation will, of necessity, fix the dUra lion of the Sessional Cortes ; the time and manner of convoking and proroguing the Chambers ; the degree of personal irresponsibility constitutionally appertain ing to the members ; the sole powers of the Depu ties to grant or withhold the supplies ; to impose and regulate both the amount of taxes and the .mode of their collection ; together with fixing the qualifications of all persons claiming a right to vote at the general elections. The QUEEN is rightly made to say, that the elective franchise is the basis of all representative government. Where this right is not recognised, or where its proper operation► is clogged, as it was in Great Britain before the passing of the Reform Bill, there the people can only enjoy a nomi nal freedom. They may be free to some extent, but it is only by sufferance. Real substantial freedom can only co-exist with an elective franchise, fixed on a wide and popular basis, always co-extending with the numerical increase of the inhabitants. The QUEEN calls the liberty of the Press the " soul" of political freedom ; and this liberty her MAJESTY guarantees to the Spanish people. So vereigns have been immortalized for the expression of sentiments less exalted than this. The term is most happy, most appropriate. We congratulate Spain upon possessing such a guardian of her laws —such a champion of the sacred rights of her people. The liberty of the Press is indeed the soul of popular freedom ; the vivifier of political institutions. The QUEEN doubly guarantees this liberty to her people ; first when she guarantees them an elective franchise, and secondly, when she states that a project of law especially directed to this particular object, is about to be submitted to the Cortes. The first is the more im portant; albeit her Majesty deserves the highest praise for making the liberty of the Press the subject of a sepa rate article. If the people he fairly and equitably repre sented the liberty of the Press cannot be destroyed by any Government. What, for instance, is the reason why the King of the French has been so successful in abolishing the liberty of the Press ? Is it because the Chamber of Peers is so organized that the mem bers are' the slaves—die abject pitiful tools—of the Citizen Monarch ? Is it because the National Guard is more devoted to the person of the Prince than resolved to defend the liberties of their fellow subjects ? Is it because the public mind was horror-stricken and con founded by the crime of FIESCIII and his accom plices ? Or is it because the people have such un bounded confidence in their KING, that they think their liberties safer in his hands than if subjected to the examination and exposure of public journalists ? To all these interrogatories a negative answer must be given. The KING triumphed because the people were not, and arc not, represented in the Chamber of Deputies. Could public opinion only find its way into that assembly, we would answer for the speedy repeal of the FIESCIII laws—for the ample freedom of the public Press of France. The responsibility of Ministers is the third great political project promised in the QUEEN'S speech. As this law must, as a matter of course, include the responsibility of all agents of the Government, its importance cannot be too highly estimated. In Spain the utility of such a measure is much greater than it could be in any other country in Europe. The long minority of the QUEEN is an additional reason why it ought to be adopted, with every expression of thankfulness by the National Cortes. We have thus far treated only of the reforms which arc about to be effected in the constitutional govern ment of Spain. The part of the Royal Speech which refers to the project for putting down the insurrection in the North, without contracting a new loan, or im posing additional taxes on the Spanish people, is equally satisfactory. The measures which haVe been adopted for the maintenance and education of the children of those loyal Spaniards, who may fall in defence of the liber ties of their country, command our admiration. We are truly happy thus to find the Government losing no opportunity of alleviating the sufferings to which the people arc exposed, while endeavouring to rid them selves of the presence of a tyrannical usurper. The part of the Speech which details the - relations of Spain with foreign countries, and her recognition of the independence of the South American States, will be read with considerable interest. The QUEEN is not unmindful of_ the least assistance rendered to the cause of her august daughter; while she most carefully avoids all topicslikely Co irritate her more lukewarm allies. This, in the present state of the country, is sound policy. Reproaches would avail her nothing in the way of positive good ; while negatively they might oc casion considerable mischief. We arc extremely grati fied to learn that the QUEEN'S government is satisfied with our observance of the quadruple treaty. In truth we were prepared for a very different expression of opinion on the part of the Ministers of her most Catholic MAJESTY. Flail our first expectations been realized in the Speech itself, we should have rather lamented the stigma cast on our national honour,ithan complained of the groundlessness of the complaint made by the Spanish Government. We have not space for further observations to-day. The Speech, as we said before, is a most important document, and must exercise a salutary influence on the public mind of Spain. In fact the Carlist insur rection, like many other temporary evils of the same kind, will be the instrument of establishing a great and permanent good—of fixing the rights of Spaniards and of giving a new Constitution to the country. The reforms which, in the course of two years, from this time, will be established in Spain—so established as to bid defiance to tyranny itself to abolish them—would .not be recognized in ten years hence, had it not been for the Carlist rebellion in Navarre. Thus, the riddle of SAMPSON finds a perpetual solution in the work• ing of all political and moral, as well as physical, agency. The cater supplies • not food and the de stroyer sweetness, with more moral certainty that good follows and predominates over evil. We have received Lisbon Papers to the 15th inst. They bring no political advices of importance. The following correspondence between the QUEEN and the Members of her Government will show that the in triguers who infest the Palace have failed in their attempts to oust the present Cabinet. The Queen of PORTUGAL is completely in the hands of a faction, which the Ministers ought to insist upon driving from about her. We are assured that her MAJESTY is more disposed than becomes a constitutional Sovereign to foster such vermin : LISBON, Nov. 13. " Most Illustrious and Most Excellent Sir—lhave the sa tisfaction to transmit to your Excellency the inclosed copy of a letter, which her Majesty the Queen has done me the honour to address to me, as President of the Council of Ministers. By it your Excellency will see, that the repeated entreaties which the Ministers respectfully addressed to her Majesty re specting permission to resign could not be complied with ; in consequence of which, obeying the wishes of her Majesty, the Ministry continues to exercise its functions, so that the motive ceases on which your Excellency desired to resign the Com mand-in.

" To his Excellency, the Duke of Terceira, Commander in- Chie' of the Army. " Having with regret agreed to the desire of the Mar quis and his colleagues who represent me in the Ministry, who solicited me, to accept their resignations, and to the same request made me by the Marshal, Duke of Terceira, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, I resolved to call to me, to form a 'new Administration, some Members of the Legis lative Chambers, whom I thought qualified for that purpose, who having endeavoured to propose to me a new Ministry; honourably declared to me that all their attempts to comply with my order had failed. " I therefore again persist in refusing the resignation tendered both by the Ministers and the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and confide in their character to serve with the same zeal which I acknowledge in all of them. ( Signed) " MARIA." " Palace das Necessidades, Nov. 13, 1935. " To the Marquis de Saldanha. " DEPARTMENT OF THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR: " In reply to the representation which the Civil Governor of Lisbon addressed, through this office, on the 11th instant, requesting to be discharged from his office, on•the supposition that the present Ministry had retired from the councils of the Queen, her Majesty orders the Civil Governor to be informed, that the persons commissioned to form a new Ministry not having been able to execute the orders which they had re ceived, the Ministers, obeying the wishes which her Majesty again expressed in the letter addressed to Marquis de Saldanha, dated this day, continue in the exercise of their functions ; 50 that the motives on which the said representation was founded ceasing, it cannot be complied with. (Signed) " RODRIGO FONSECA MAGALHAES." " Palace das Necessidades, Nov. 13, 1835. —Diario de Governo, Nov. 14. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Monday. Their contents are unimportant, unless we make an exception in favour of the diplomatic gossip on the subject of a war with America. The Russian Ambassador had an interview with the Duke of BROGLIE on Saturday, but no complaint was ut tered against the " fire, and smoke, and bounce" ar ticles of the Debats. Count PAHLEN has not yet received his instructions on the subject, and his mili tary habits are too rigid to allow him to act without positive orders. PARIS, Nov. 23.—A Geneva Journal of the 17th an nounces that the affair of Bale (the country Canton) with the French Minister will terminate by there being no grounds to proceed on, the sale made to M. Wahl having, it is said, been annulled by an agreement between him and the seller. We learn from a certain authority that Mr. Duchatel is at this moment inclined to give entire satisfaction to the merchants of Nantes, respecting their remonstrances against the ordinances on the importation of coals. There is nothing important from the frontiers in the Bayonne Journals, unless it be that the Carlists have at Bayonne a depot of 300 horses for their cavalry, which came from France. They have likewise received lately a a large sum of money (320,000 francs it is said), and cloth to make pantaloons for the cavalry. Madame Zumalacarreguy has . arrived at Bayonne from Bordeaux, and intends to go immediately to Spain. - The Indicateur has news of the 13th ; it says : " The new levy continues with the greatest activity ; 8,000 men are marching to Aragon ; 6,000 to Valencia ; and 6,000 to Catalonia, whither arms and money have al ready been sent. As soon as the first two provinces are cleared of the bands which infest them, all these troops will go to Catalonia. The funds are rising at Madrid, and the confidence in the Ministry was daily increasing.— Messager, Oct. 23. FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, NOVEMBER 23. Five per Cents., 108 f. s(c. 60c. 80c. 70e.

TILE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. At le - n7th we have the Queen of Spain's speech, and in ge neral it is looked upon as a document of great importance, and does honour to the Councils of M.' Mendizabal, both as regards honesty, and as a well-wisher to his country. The most important feature in it is that without new loans or any augmentation of taxes, resources will he found, not only to terminate the war of the Factions, and to have sufficient for the other obligations of the State, but also to ameliorate the lot of its creditors, national as well as foreign ; and to place credit on a solid basis. This being settling day in Consols, the brokers and jobbers are chiefly employed in adjusting their Accounts, which are going off well. Our express from FAlmouth states that the Queen. of Por tugal could not form a new Ministry, and was obliged to take back the former ones. Consols opened this morning at the price they left off yes terday 91.' a for Account and for Money ; Omniurn, 4b prem. ; Exchequer Bills, 11 13; India Bonds, 45 ; Bank Stock, 210 211 ; India Stock, 2561. In the Foreign Market, although the Queen of Spain's Speech is of so favourable a nature, it has not had any effect as yet on the Spanish Funds.

The Queen of Spain's Speech has not had any effect on the Spanish market up to the present time, owing to its being considered by the speculators as mere promises, with regard to the Spanish debt. We Ilve no further arrivals from the Peninsula. The settling of the Consols Account is going off well ; and it turns out a Bear Account, as they are borrowers of Stock at two per cent. for fifty days.

CHURCH-RATE REFUSED.--On the 30th of Oc tober a rate was proposed at a vestry meeting of two-pence in the pound, in the parish of Debden, Essex ; when a mo tion to adjourn the question for twelvemonths was carried as an amendment, by a show of hands. But the Curate, who was in the chair, insisted upon tendering two votes by proxy for the absent Rector ! This made the numbers even. The Curate then claimed the right of giving the casting vote, although he was no rate-payer ! By such unlawful means the decision of the vestry was overturned. A poll was then demanded, which took place by agreement on the 9th instant, and, after a severe struggle, terminated in favor of the amendment, by a majority of twelve. It should be recorded as one of the Ecclesiastical abuses which have prevailed, that in Debden, and probably in other parishes, it has been the practice to pay, or expend upon the children whO attended the Bishop for confirmation, the sum of nine pence each out of the church-rate ! On a late occasion, however, the wary churchwarden, foreseeing the coming contest, prudently withheld the p a y, an d advanced only a smaller sum, under a private guarantee. It is high time to put a stop to church jobbing. The Tories, through the affiliations of the Carlton Club, have been at their usual dirty work with respect to the Corporation Act. In Hull and York we perceive they have held back, apparently apathetic, until the latest mo ment for serving notices of objection, which they have done en masse to the liberal electors. The latter, not "up to" such scurvy manoeuvres, or willing to extend the burgess qualification as much as possible, took few or no objections. In Hull, however, the trick did not succeed, as, somehow or other, the Reformers found out what the public enemy was after, and matched theni with their own weapons. Some Tory overseers in other places have lent themselves to these shabby proceedings of the Tories. We are happy to announce that letters were re ceived on Monday morning from Captain Tyler, R.N., Lieutenant-Governor of St. Vincent's, whose death was stated to have taken place some weeks back. That gentle man was in good health. MILITARY FLOGGING.—James Ramsay, the ma rine, who was sentenced to receive 2.50 lasheS at Woolwich, for illegally selling his kit, has died in the hospital of locked jaw. Intelligence of the event having been communicated to Mr. Carttar, the Coroner for Kent, he immediately or dered that an investigation should take place into the cir cumstances of his death. An inquest will accordingly be held upon the body this day. THE ETTRICK SHEPHERD.—With deep regret we announce that our national bard, the Ettrick Shepherd, has for some time been in a very delicate state of health. For the last three weeks he has been constantly confined to bed, and at this moment his health is considered in a very perilous state... Glasgow Courier. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) This being the last day of Term, his Honour the VICE CHANCELLOR took motions. The Court was occupied the whole morning with the part-heard case of " Drewitt v. Sheard," which was a motion for the dissolution of an in junction granted to restrain the defendants, who are stable 'keepers, residing in Oxford, from cutting the banks of a stream in Oxfordshire, which supplied the paper•mill of the plaintiff with water. 114 6 t-74. EXETER, PLYMOUTH, AND DE VONPORT RAIL-ROAD. GREAT PUBLIC MEETING AT PLYMOUTH. (From the Devonport Independent.) The sounds of commercial improvement, in the rapid strides by which it has been recently advancing, have hitherto reached us at a distance ; we are now likely to hear them nearer home. The inhabitants of Bristol and Exeter having matured a plan for a railway between those towns, and this having been so spiritedly supported that nearly three times the required amount of subscription was offered, some Gentlemen of the latter town projected a continuation of the line to Plymouth-90,4001. have been already offered. Thinking it necessary to have the co-operation of the inha bitants of this neighbourhood, a requisition was published for - a meeting at the Guildhall, Plymouth. Accordingly, a large assembly of Gentlemen of the three. towns and the vicinity, of the highest respectability, took place. Viscount BORINGDON having been called to the Chair, observed that the present meeting had not altogether origi nated amongst themselves, but was the effect of a commu nication made by their friends and neighbours of Exeter, from whom they would that day receive some further com munications and exposition. No one ought to embark in speculations hastily, or adopt, without due consideration, the projectiwhich the leading spirit of the times seemed to impose upon him. On the other hand, it was more impor tant not to be backward in undertakings of the in terest to ourselves and posterity. J. COLLIER, Esq., M.P., moved the first resolution. He had always been an advocate for the improvement of roads, and his own efforts had on various occasions been directed to that object. He was fully conviucesi of the national importance of bringing the great capital kingdom nearer, as it were, to every other part of it. Although the line of road might not be quite so direct as it was•at present, yet they should estimate the distance by the time it takes in passing from one place to another ; and it the journey to London which now occupied 24 hours, could be accom plished in twelve, the great city might be said to be brought nearer to us by one half. The undertaking itself was yet in its infancy, but the project for establishing such a com munication between Plymouth and Exeter, and between Exeter and Bristol, which would no doubt be extended to Falmouth, and other parts of the county of Cornwall, could not fail to meet with support. T. BEWES, Esq., M. P. seconded the resolution moved by his colleague. As to any ulterior proceedings it might be thought necessary to adopt, he should certainly hold himself at liberty to form his own opinion, after the data were obtained.—( Hear, hear.) - It was only a duty to the public to caution persons against that mania which was now spreading through the country. The cost of this road ought to be estimated with calmness and clearness. Dr. BELLAMY then spoke on the principle embodied in the resolution. Living in peculiar times, when capital was, as it were, seeking application, it was a duty owed to the labouring classes by all who had means, whether of influence or money, to use those means in furtherance of this—the right application of capital. Although he was ready to lose what little he had advanced, yet there was not the least doubt of a good return. Gentlemen embarking in such speculations were not to expect an immediate return ; they would probably have a multiplex one in a few years. But he was sorry to take up the question on the ground of profit. These railroads must do good ; the mobility and velocity were not confined to themselves, they set men's minds working and moving with saniethino• like railroad ra pidity. On the same principle that the poor man had a claim for sustenance from the soil, according.to the enact ments of the legislature, he had a claim for the employment of his industry according as persons possessed the means of setting him at work. He bad no doubt that the sinews of war would be obtained ; and science would point out the application of the means. The railways would becOme as much a system as the circulation of blood in the human body ; the country would be intersected by them in every direction ; and every great trunk would send forth a multi tude of branches, and every branch would produce abun dant fruit for the support of industry. The resolution having been carried unanimously. Mr. T. Gtx.r. read all the Resolutions intended to be proposed. Having done so, he proposed the second, and observed, that the meeting had originated with the Com mittee formed at Exeter, who had given the subject mature consideration. Allusions had been made to the schemes so common in the present day. There never yet had been a useful measure proposed, but it had been carried by some to the extreme. They ought not unhesitatingly to commit themselves, but move on step by step : every individual ought to be satisfied, not only as to the feasibility of the plan, but of an advantageous result. The value of money to the country-could only be estimated in proportion as it was advantageously employed. There was much capital at the present lying inert, as far as the public was concerned. It was little worth for a man to possess half a million if he kept it locked up in a box, or in a place where it realised almost• as little benefit, producing perhaps 23- per cent. This port possessed many advantages over, not perhaps every other, but over most in the kingdom. Perhaps there was no part in the kingdom where chargei were nearly so low as in Plymouth and DevonpOrt. The railroad coin munications had been compared to the circulation in the human body. If that circulation, instead of being carried throughout the whole body, were to cease at a certain point, paralysis must be the consequence. That would inevitably he the case if the circulation reached Exeter, and there stopped, if the people of this place would sit still - and see the advantage of them adopted by all other districts of the country. The commercial intercourse of Plymouth was now nearly confined to South Devon ; it might be extended to every part of the country. If the farmer could obtain 10 or 15 per cent. more for his produce in London than here, there could be no reason why he should not avail himself of the opportunity. Mr. T. Fox observed that it was impossible for them to stand still ; they must move with the tide.—(Hear, hear.) If they refused to take part in the improvements every where making, they would go back in the scale of society. Forward or backward they must move. To keep the same relative position, by doing nothing, was impossible. Mr. TY RR EL, of Exeter, said the object of the Committee at Exeter, in deputing him, had been to assure themselves of their co-operation in the business. They had pot waited one moment to consider whether it might not eventually be of immense importaece to Plymouth at their own expense.—(Hear, hear.) Their object had been to carry forward a line of communication, which must be of great benefit to the country at large. They had not sent him with mere professions : immediately before he. left they had put into his hands a list of sub scribers, gentlemen of Exeter, or of the neighbourhood, influenced by them. Their subscriptions amounted al ready to 95,4001.—(Hear, hear.) This money had n? . t been put down in large sums, for the purpose of specu lation, but in different quantities—some one share, some five, the utmost fifty. It was not an undertaking for men who wished to gamble, but for sober men with their minds open. The practicability of obtaining the necessary funds was sufficiently evident from the success which had attended the Exeter and Bristol railway. Three months ago, the Committee wanted about 1,200,000/ or at most a million and a half. There had been applications for shares to the amount of 3,400,0001.—( Hear, hear)—two millions more than was required. JOHN RUNDELL, Esq., M.P., proposed the next resolu tion, and said that the desirableness of the work was self evident. Those districts which were without this advan tage, would be deprived of all those markets to which rail ways from other places were carried. They heard a great deal of agricultural distress, and much of it was too true ; but agriculturists must look not to high prices for relief, but the extent of sale at low prices ; they must endeavour, by every possible mode, to lessen the cost of produce. , He did not quite agree in the propriety of applying the term mania, to the disposition to join in railway speculations. He considered, at this moment, that they were the most profitable kind of investments ; but if they only produced three and a half or four per cent., let the collateral bene fits be taken into account. They bad heard weighty ar guments from the gentlemen of Exeter. A great deal of that mean narrow jealousy which formerly prevailed be tween town and town, was fast passing away ; we had come now to find that none of us were the poorer, because our neighbour had become richer. The ruin of Plymouth had been predicted on the change from war to peace, but it appeared to him to have increased in prosperity ; and the same energies would enable it to go on still further, and, by the present undertaking, to adopt profitable branches of business not hitherto introduced into this port. Mr. J. RAMSEY moved the next resolution, and said that the advantages would be considerable there could be no doubt, if they only looked to corresponding benefits where railroads had been in full operation. That it would be a public benefit was evident from the simple fact, that we shall be able to go to Exeter in two hours, transact, business, and return to dinner. If they were late r in the field than the projectors in the other parts of the kingdom, they had one decided advantage—they would have the benefit of their experience. If the conductors of the London and Birmingham railway began with their present knowledge, it was well known that they would have completed it at an expense of nearly 500,0001. less than it has actually cost. They would have, too, the experience of the Bristol and London, as well as the Great Western Railway. Mr. JOHNSON said he had experienced considerable loss in another railroad, owing to the inexperience of the person employed ; but that would not have happened had the road to be now commenced, when it might be completed at one third the expense. In this case the most eminent and ex perienced person would be employed, to survey the line. He, therefore, would second the resolution. J. C. BULTEEL, Esq., proposed the names of the com mittee, and remarked upon the' necessity of improving the time of peace in works of this nature. lie trusted that - X *1...,\ KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE KING V. SYLVESTER. Mr. WILSON prayed the Court that the defendant in this case should be called up for judgment, or in the event of his not being in attendance, that his recognizances be estreated. The defendant had been convicted in Trinity Term, 1834, of having forged an endorsement to a power of attorney, and thereby obtained possession of a sum of 2,0001., the property of a Mr. Burgess, to whom the de fendant. acted as agent. He understood that his Learned Friend Mr. Humphreys was instructed to show cause against the present application. Mr. HUMPHREYS—My Lord, the cause I have to shew is, that the . defendant died some time ago in America.—(Laughter.) An application to estreat the defendant's recognizances had been made last term in the Court of Exchequer, but upon its being stated that we believed the defendant to be dead, the Court at once re jected the application. I have now the affidavit of a Mr. Cooper, who deposes that the defendant died at New York in the month of June, 1834, and also an affidavit of the bail, who was about to proceed to Ame rica to seek the defendant when be met Mr. Cooper. Under these circumstances, it being impossible for the bail to bring up the defendant—(A laugh)—l trust the Court will be of opinion that the recognizances, which are very heavy, will not be estreated. Mr. WiLsort observed, that when the application was made to the Court of Exchequer the defendant was actually alive, although an affidavit was put in, stating that, to the best of deponent's belief, he was dead. The report had pre ceeded the actual decease, which was rather suspicious. Lord DENMAN said, as the representation made on the former application, and which had influenced the decision of the Court, was an erroneous and false one, the Court would now direct that the recognizances be estreated ; and the bail could make an application afterwards, on payment of costs. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. John Church, aged 18, Thomas Prior, aged 22, and Charles Buckland, aged 21, were indicted for burglariously entering the dwelling house of William Briant, and stealing plate and other articles, value 45/., his property.—The pri soners, who declined making any defence, were found Guilty. John Smith, aged 19, was indicted for stealing three coats, value 71., the property of Isaac Culling, in his dwelling-douse in the parish of St. Mary, Lambeth. The prisoner watched an opportunity of slipping into the prosecutor's house without being perceived, and walked off with the coats which were lying in the room. A servant girl immediately discovered the robbery, and ran after the prisoner, whom she overtook. He threw the coats into the road, and endeavoured to make his escape, but could not succeed. The Jury found him Guilty, and the , Court intimated that he would be sent out of the country. NEW COURT. John Jones, aged twenty-eight, described iu the calendar as a dealer, but who is well-known to the police as - an active member of the " swell-mob," was indicted for stealing a diamond-pin, and.other articles, value 21. 125., the property of George Humby, from his person. It appeared the prosecutor and a friend were standing in Fleet-street on the 9th instant, awaiting the arrival of the Civic Procession ; the prisoner, who was respectably dressed, and some other persons, were standing near at hand, and entered into conversation with them. When the proces sion arrived a rush took place, and the prosecutor was hustled and passed twice by him, and the second time snatched the • pin from the prosecutor's breast. The pin was afterwards seen in his hand. The prisoner made no defence, but called several persons who stated that they, resided in the neighbourhood of Petticoat-lane, Whiteehapel, and gave the prisoner a good character. The COMMON-SERGEANT summed up, and the Jury, after deliberating some minutes, returned a verdict of ' Guilty, very much to the discomfiture of many of the pri soners " friends," who had by some means obtained admis sion into the very body of the Court.

Soon after the Board of Guardians had assembled at Cuckfield, a party of about 50 men , h av i ng the ap pearance of farm labourers, presented themselves with sticks of no very slender dimensions.

They were, however, prevailed upon by some representation of their Guardian, to return home peaceably.—Brighton Guardian. every man connecteA with agriculture would go home, with him, convinced of the absurdity of supposing the railroad to be merely a commercial matter ; he need not say, at that time of the day, that there was not a piece of land in the county which would not be immensely benefitted.

It was frank and friendly in the extreme—they met just as they had last parted at Petersburg, on the very best terms.
