Society for the Improvement of the Condition of the Labour ing Classes having met with entire success in three difiereut efforts to provide bettor dwellit,gs for the labouring poor, is now desirous of commencing a new attempt, of, it may be hoped, a still more impor ant character. Its past Operations have been as follows : 1. A range of cottages, on a situ where cottages only were admis sible, called Model Buildings, in Bagnigge-wells. These arc now oc cupied by married couples and aged females, whose rents are paid weekly, with great thankfulness for the cheap and wholesome lodg ings provided. 2. Three houses repaired and thrown into one, in Charles-street, Drury-!alto, wherein clean and proper accommodation is found for SO V t .t . Fa LS s _ s s .ng. house, for wed: 311TIMV151sTriXtr the Society, in George-street, St. Giles's. In this house 104 single men are provided with separate sleeping apartments, and every other desirable accommodation, at the charge of 4d. per night. Al these establi-liments are full. the rents are regularly paid, and the inmates are very thankful for tso advantages they receive. The number of persons now tenanting the Society's houses is 329, while In various parts of the country their allotment tenants are 556. These three undertakings, therefore, while they return a fair and adequate rental far the capital laid out, are producing important be nefits to the workins classes, and are compelling improvement in lodging houses genera ly. But there to a very n u merous and important class, for whose be nefit great efferts ought to be made. The mechanics and other la bourers, occupied hi the heart of the metropolis, and saving wives and families, who are compelled to dwell in localities where employ ment is to be found, surely demand some consideration. The Committee desire forthwith to make an earnest attempt to meet the wants of this interesting and important class of persons. They atpresent have in view two sites, in the very centre of the me tropolis, either of which would admirably answer the purpose. They aro endeavoaring to gain possession of one of theta, but it will be necessary, in order to their effecting this object In a proper and sufficient manner, that they shotla first raise a sum of 5,0001 or 6,0001., which will obviously be required to erect any building of such extent as to to serve as a model for future undertakings. Hence a public appeal must be made, since the whole of the Soclecy's funds have been exhausted in the completion of the three works above enu merated. The Committee believe that with the Christian public of this coun try no further plea need be used than that of the duty and impor tance of benefiting the poor, espesially with respect to their dwellings. Still it cannot be out of place to remark, that while measures fur the - improvement of the health of the metropolis are urged on every side, there eau be n• measure so effectual for this purpose as that of ex changing the wretched abodes, into which the riser are now too often (troweled, for well-planned, well-drainod, and properly ventilated ha bitations. The Committee betleve that this can be done even at a lower rate of charge for rent than that which the labourer is now often forced to pay, and they entreat the affluent and the charitable to give them the means of still further demonstrating this important fact by actual experiment. It cannot be toe often repeated, that while our poor aro forced, as at present, to crowd together, all ages a il sexes in the saute sleeping apartment, the preservation of either bcalth or morsfs is rendered all but an impassibility.

TREASURER —Mr. Patrick Watson. SECRETARY—Mr. William Boyack. The Committee appointed to raise a fund for the relief of the Widow and Family of the late William Thom, the gifted but unfor tunate Poet of Inverury, beg leave briefly but earnestly to appeal to the Public, more especially to the Public of Scotland, in behalf of the trust which has been confided to them. The name awl genius of Thom are well known and universally ac knowledged ; many of the feeling aad pathetic effusions of his anise have been brought before the public, not enly in a connived form, but in various periodicals. His talents attracted the attention of the ablest judges; and the Messrs. Chambers, in their Journal, have de voted a chapter to his autobiography, and to that favourable weed of praise to which they considered his merits entitled. The life of William Thom has, indeed, combined the vicissitudes of a humble child of the Muses, having formed a scene of trials and dis appointments, accompanied by an overflowing share of poverty and distress. Many of his earliest and best years were passed at the Hawkhill of Dundee—the remembrance of which seemed deeply impressed on his mind ; for thither, to use his own emphatic language, he wished to return, like a bird that flutters round her forsaken nest, to spend his latter days in comparative peace and quiet. His wishes were fulfilled, for not many months ago he did return from his wanderings, debilitated and impoverished, and breathed Ids last on Monday, the 28th of February. He has left awidow and three infant children, the youngest but five months old, totally unprevided for ; and it has therefore been resolved to raise a fund, in order, if possible, to afford them permanent assistance. A. Committee has been appointed, who have cheerfully undertaken this duty, and al ready they are happy to announce that their call has been responded to in a prompt and liberal manner. Lord Kinnaird, Lord Jeffrey, Messrs. Douglas Jerrold and Robert Chambers, and many others, have spontaneously sent their contributions; and it is earnestly hoped that the charitable and the admirers of native genius and un obtrusive merit will support and encourage the laudable object which the Committee have in view.

DEATH OF WILLIAM THOM, THE INVERURY POET. (To the Editor of the "Dundee Courier.") Dundee, February 29,1843. Sir,—The painful task has been deputed to me of announcing to the public the death of William Thom, the Inverury poet. For some time past he had been in delicate and declining health ; and his diseased state of body was doubtless aggravated by the uncer tainty of his circumstances, and the consequent anguish of his honourable and sensitive mind. Yesterday, in our city, at half past eleven A.M., he departed this life. lie has left behind him something more than a name—some true and beautitul strains. winch, ns " a thing of beauty is a joy for ever," the world will not willingly suffer, like the inscription in the coffin, to be buried in the tomb. He has left behind him, alas ! something of yet ten derer and mere mournful interest—a widow and three children, thi eldest of whom is only four years, and the youngest but a few months old. These are " utterly destitute," and but for the kind ness of one or two private friends, might have beets cast out ere this to the charity of the streets. I snake no appeal in behalf of the poet himself; " after life's fitful fever he sleeps well." He has found what the most troubled and tempest-tossed wanderer will at last find, and which to him was peculiarly grateful—rest. Nor will I indulge or express any vindictive feelings as to the treatment which he received while yet alive. A true poet, he met with truly poetic usage. He was caressed, but not fed ; as if one could sup on incense, or as if one public dinner could keep a man alive for years ! But I would bespeak general sympathy in behalf of his destitute family. I would implore every lover of literature— every one who has derived pleasure from the departed poet's lyrics, or front the simple story of his life—to prove their pleasure and their gratitude true by some more substantial evidence than ex clamations or tears. I would call especially upon those who saw him at our late Watt Festival, and heard almost his latest breath given forth in those brief, broken, but thrilling accents—accents how far superior to the measured cadences of rhetoric—to testify by generous deeds their sense of melancholy satisfaction that theirs was the privilege of meeting with and hearing him fur the last time. No time ought to be lost. Indeed, no time has been lost. Intima • Lions to the above effect either have been, or are immediately to be, dispatched to DouglAs Jerrold, Charles Dickens, Lord Jeffrey, and others. But as Dundee has had the honour of containing his death bed, let us follow the start we have acciden , ally gained by instant, active, strenuous efforts in behalf of his widow and his fatherless bairns. Messrs. Chalmers, Middleton, an" , Shaw, Booksellers, and Mr. Mills, Perfumer, have kindly undertaken to receive donations. The smallest sums will be welcomed.

While we laugh avid sing, in this happy ring, With a bright and a brotherly glee, May we never forget that the sun baths set On the homes of misery.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Exeter, March 27. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT and a Special Jury from the City.) THE BISHOP OF EXETER AND THE " WESTERN TIMES." REGINA V. LATIMER.-LIBEL. This case, which has excited the greatest interest, and has been postponed for two assizes, came on for trial this morning. The court and the passages were crowded throughout the trial. Thomas Latimer, the editor of the Western Times, a newspaper widely circulated in the county of Devon and the west of England, was charged by the indictment with having published a false, scandalous, malicious, and defamatory libel against the Bishop, calling him a brawler and a consecrated and careless perverter of truth. To this the defendant pleaded not guilty, and a justification under the 6 and 7 Vic , c. 96, sec. 6, and that it was for the public benefit. Mr. CROWDER. in opening the case, said that the Bishop of Exeter complained of a libel charging him with having uttered a gross and deliberate falsehood in a matter connected with his church government, and in the discharge of his parliamentary duties in the House of Lords. He therefore appealed to the laws of his country for protection. He then stated the facts of the case as follows :--In the year 1832 the Duke of Somerset, who was the owner of the manor of Bridgetown, and the patron of the living of Berry Pomeroy, had built, for the use of his tenants, a church at Bridgetown. The Duke met the Bishop of Exeter in the summer of 1832, and expressed a desire to have the church consecrated. The Bishop inspected the building, and expressed himself perfectly satisfied with its appearance, and understood from the Duke of Somer set that it had been built for the purpose.of being used for worship according to the - rites and ceremonies of the Church of England. Some conversation took place as to the mode in which the consecration could be obtained. The Bishop of Exeter informed him of the course which ought to be pqrsued, in order that the Duke might re tain the patronage—namely, that it should he endowed; and something was said as to the amount of endowment. Subsequently a correspondence took place between Mr. Maberly, the agent of the Duke, and Mr. Barnes, the secretary of the Bishop, the object of which was to ascertain the proper mode of obtaining consecration, so as to secure to the Duke of Somerset the exclusive right of nominating the Then aye, as we sing, may we closer cling, In our bright and brotherly glee. And never forget that the sun may set On the homes of misery. W. THOM. First-rate HOTEL, with splendid COFFEE-ROOM and TAVERN, lu one of the best parts of the Metropolis, to be LET. MESSRS. W. W.

BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New road, London. The principles of the llygelan theory are contained in the follow ing propositions :- 1. The vital principle is contained in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases arise irons the impurity of the blood, or, in other words, from acrimonious humours lodged in the body. b. This humour, which degenerates the blood, has three sources —the maternine, the contagious, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may therefore be considered synonymous terras. 7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectual . mode of eradicating disease. S. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MO RISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE to be seek proper vegetable purgative. 9. From the intimate connexion subsisting between the mind and the body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other. JOSE - S AND THE MUSES A TALE.

And thoroughly knowing what all kind of wit is, To help a poor poet in writing his ditties. And now for my story—a singular one— These nymphs were invited V MOSES and SON, It ho wished to inform them, of what they must sing, And to tell them of matters concerning the spring. " We thank you, (said MOSES,) for services past ; Nor have we the slightest reflection to cast. Much attention to 310;ES and SON you've attracted. And have faithfully told of the manner they've acted ; In telling the world what our tailoring trade is, You neva' have once over-rated it, ladles. You have told what is true—you have spoken with reason And now let us come to the present spring season. Please to take a walk round (said E.

During ',this Correspondence it was understood by the Bishop that the chapel should be ex clusively applied to the worship according to the rites of the Church of England, and that although it was not then required that the church should be immediately consecrated before service should be performed, it was distinctly understood that the church should be ulti mately consecrated, and upon this understanding a license was granted by the:Bishop to!perform divine ser vice until consecration should take place. The Rev. Mr. Edwards was the vicar of the parish at that time, and the rectorial tithes being in the Duke of Somerset it was necessary that the incumbent should nominate the indi vidual before the Bishop could grant a license. The in cumbent accordingly nominated the Rev. Mr. Shore, a minister of the Church of England, and a license was granted. In 1836 Mr. Brown became the incumbent of the parish, and under him also Mr. Shore continued to officiate in Bridgetown Chapel. In 1843 Mr. Cozens be came the incumbent, and in consequence of some sup pesed difference with Mr. Shore with respect to his doctrine being the proper doctrine of the Church of England, Mr. Cozens deemed that Mr. Shore was not a fit and proper person to be nominated and to preach in Bridgetown. Mr. Shore applied to Mr. Co zens, but he refused to nominate him, and the Bishop was, therefore, bound to refuse any new license, and he revoked the license that had been granted ; and in the early part of the year 1544, in consequence of this, Mr. Shore declared himself to be a Protestant dissenting minister, and for the purpose of continuing the service in the chapel of Bridgetown, in February, 1844, the chapel was registered by the Duke of Somerset, as a place for the performance of dissenting worship in that district, under an Act of Parliament authorising that proceeding. Mr. Shore continued to officiate as the minister, and in so doing was brought before the Court of Arches, and condemned. He subsequently ap plied to the Court of Queen's Bench for a pro hibition, but failed; and then he presented a peti tion to the House of Lords, which was laid be fore the House by Lord Brougham. Having pre sented the petition, Lord Brougham made some obser vations in the House of Lords, and in consequence of these observations the Bishop of Exeter conceived it to be his duty to make a statement, in the course of which he said that he had originally granted a license to Mr. Shor‘ upon receiving the assurance of the Duke of Somerset—first, that he would endow the chapel refer red to; and secondly, that the building should only be used for divine worship according to the rites and cere monies of tho Church of England. He (the Bishop) was grieved to say that l hie Grace had departed from both engagemenls, and that subsequently, when the rector who had succeeded to the rectory of Berry Pomeroy, refused to nominate Mr. Shore, he (the Bishop) had re voked the license, and that Mr. Shore continuing to officiate in the chapel, afterwards registered as a dissent ing chapel, he thought it necessary to proceed against him for this breach of ecclesiastical discipline. This having taken place in the House of Lords a short time afterwards, Lord Seymour, son of the Duke of Somer set, and a Member for Totnes, called a meeting of his constituents for the purpose of adverting to cer tain misstatements that had been made in the House of Lords respecting the Duke of Somerset ; at that meet ing Lord Seymour addressed them, and in the course of his remarks charged the Bishop of Exeter with having uttered a deliberate falsehood in the statement he had made in the House of Lords. This speech was after wards inserted in the newspaper, of which the defendant is the editor (the Western Times), and upon which the editor commented. 'rho comment of the editor upon that speech was the subject of the present indictment. This indictment against Mr. Latimer was preferred in stead of an action against Lord Seymour, because the speech of Lord Seymour, not imputing any crime to the Right Rev. Prelate, and not being written; could not be made the subject:of an action against Lord Seymour, but when printed and commented upon by Mr. Latimer in his newspaper, it gave the Bishop" the opportunity of commencing these proceedings, which he did at the earliest possible period, and, which, by reason of the illness of the Duke of Somerset on one occasion, and the pressure of business at the assizes on a second occasion, has been postponed for the last two assizes. Mr. Crow der said that he might content himself with simply putting in the paper containing the libel, and so leave Mr. Latimer to produce the correspondence relative to the chapel at Bridgetown, which has been the cause of the observations containing this libel, and thus he might again have an opportunity of addressing them, but he was instructed by the Right Rev. Prelate to lay before the Court all the correspondence, and to state every thing which induced the Bishop of Exeter to act as he had done in reference to the chapel at Bridgetown, and for which he had been so libelled and held up to public slander and ridicule, by a coarsely abusive, scurrilous, and scandalous attack upon him by Mr. Thomas Lati mer, in his newspaper, which circulated extensively in the diocese of Exeter. The Bishop of Exeter was then called and examined, supporting all that had been stated by Mr. Crowder. On his cress examination ho admitted havine , made the speech alluded to, although he stated that he had not used the word imputed to him in the paper. He thought he had said " violated" in reference to the Duke of Somerset; he also stated that Mr. Brown had excharged with Mr. Cozens, and that when the latter gentleman came to the Evil g he had a conversation with him, and particularly cautioned him in strong terms in relation O. his duty with regard to that part of the parish over which Mr. Shore exercised his influence, namely Bridge town. He did not give him instructions not to appoint Mr. Shore ; he had no difference with Mr. Shore, but on one occasion he had reproved him in reference to the part he had taken in the Chudleigh election, iu which the inhabitants have a right to elect the minister. Mr. Shore having been a candidate with Mr. Palk, and Mr. Cummings had addressed a circular to the electors resign ing in favour of Mr. Palk. He reproved him, think ing it a most indecent thing to treat an election of that kind in the same way as an election for a municipal officer, or for a Member of Parliament. There had also been a disgraceful canvass carried on ; he did not make a claim to the presentation of Chudlcigh, although he was advised to do so, conceiving that it had lapsed to the see by reason of non-presentation. Ho had particularly cautioned Mr. Cozens with regard to Bridgetown, and probably advised him to make inquiry as to Mr. Shore. Ile had not given the same warning to Mr. Brown, although he had continually seen him from time to time. The time that lie had given the caution was after the Chudleigh election. He was appointed Bishop in 1831, and the first debate in which he took part was relating to tithes. Mr. COCKBURN, for the defence, was about to examine his Lordship as to certain statements which he had made in the House of Lords in 1831, and in consequence of which Lord Grey had accused him of misstating the cir cumstances, and that the Bishop had thereupon con fessed himself to be in the wrong, when Mr. CROWDER objected to this mode of examination, as the question turned entirely upon the correspondence and the documents connected with it. Mr. COCKBURN said that as the real question at issue was between the Duke of Somerset' and the Bishop of Exeter, it would be for the jury to decide which of these exalted persons had been guilty of misstating the facts connected with tho case; and he was, therefore, desirous of showing that the Bishop of Exeter had on many oc casions made statements which he had afterwards been compelled to withdraw ; whereas, in no one instance could it be alleged that the Duke of Somerset had been guilty of similar conduct, and that it was open for him to prove the want of credibility in the Bishop of Exeter by these means. Mr. Baron PUTT thought that such evidence was inadmissible; that the whol issue depended upon the correspondence and the documents connected therewith. Tho correspondence between the parties was then put in. There were several letters from Mr. Moberly, the agent for the Duke of Somerset, and Mr. Barnes, the Bishop's secretary, in which the matter was treated as a negotiation to obtain consecration, and not merely to obtain a lioense for a proprietary chapel. After several letters, the following was addressed by Mr, Maberly to Mr. Barnes:— A A E. .14 - One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine tie former, and miscalculated hopes ens- Sater the latter.

Commission by the Lord-Lieutenant of Cheshire. "Bedford-row, London, Sept. 12, 1832. " Sir,—l begin to apprehend that the mutual object the Duke of Somerset and the Bishop of Exeter will not be attainable but through the medium of the Church Building Commissioners. It will require some conside ration to determine what proposition to lay before them on the subject. It may also turn out that the Duke's apprehension of its being necessary to let a twelvemonth go round is well founded; and this would be so much waste time, for the chapel is ready. At the same time also that it might assist the Duke in determining defini tively what he may be inclined to do relative to endow ment, &c., if an experiment could be first made how the chapel is likely to answer. Under these considerations I should beg to suggest that it would be better to request of the Bishop, in the first instance, the license as if it were a proprietary chapel only, which need not by any means imply thereby that the idea of endowment and consecration is abandoned. The opening of the chapel in this way will, in the course of a few months, probubly enable the Duke to judge what might be the best ar - rangement to propose for the ultimate adjustment.—l am, &c., "JOSEPH MABERLY." _ _ t'ie Bishop of Exeter upon the Duke of Somerset was the most uncalled for and unprovoked that he ever re membeted ; he stated that the object of the Duke of Somerset undoubtedly was that the chapel should be endowed and consecrated, but in the meanwhile it should be licensed for the performance of divine worship, according to the rites arid ceremonies of the Church of Engl -nd, but that when the Bishop revoked the license and to deprived Mr. Shore and his family of the means of existence, the Duke thought the act of the Bishop so tyrannical and unjust that he caused the place to he registered as a dissenting chapel according to the Act, and allowed Mr. Shore still to officiate as the minister, conducting the worship, as it had always been carried on, according to the rites of the Church of England, anti to the satisfaction of every one who had been in the habit of attending the chapel. Mr. Baron PLATT then summed up, and told the jury that there were two questions for their consideration -Ist, Whether the defendant had published the libel im puted to him; and, 2dly, whether the matter was libellous. That after they had heard the law upon the subject laid down by him, it would still be for them to decide upon the question of fact, whether the matter was or was not libellous. The defendant had pleaded that he was not guilty, which was the first issue, and also that§he was justified in uttering the libel, because it was true, and the publication of it was for the public benefit. It would therefore be ior the jury to decide whether or not the Duke of So merset had entered into the engagement contended for on the part of the Bishop of Exeter, that he would for ever set apart the chapel exclusively for the performance of divine service according to the rites and ceremonies of the Church of En ;laud, and had accepted the license upon that undertaking; or whether, as contended for by the defendant, he had accepted the license as an ordinary license granted to a proprietary chapel, in which case it would be quite legal that the Duke should afterwards divert it to any secular purpose that he might think proper. The Learned Judge said that there did not seem to be any question as to the first issue, because the publication of the libel was admitted; and it they should be of opinion on the second issue that the Duke of Somerset had broken his engagement with regard to the chapel at Bridgetown, in that case, as the Bishop would have uttered that which was perfectly true in the House of Lords, the justification of the libel would fail, aid it wou'd be their duty to find a verdict for the Crown upon that issue. .

The Bishop desires me to say that the Duke of Somerset. having stated his wish and purpose to endow the chapel, and to convey the same for consecration, the Bishop will license the chapel till that purpose can be conveniently carried into effect. The Bishop has further directed me that, having himself seen the chapel, he dispenses with the issuing any previous commission of inquiry. It is only necessary, therefore, that the Duke should sign a petition to grant a license, and I will draw the form anl send it to you. For this purpose you will be good enough - to direct a plan of the chapel to be furnished, showinc , the ground plan and scaling, &c., and be good enough to give me the most concise statement possible as to the title that the Duke has, as tenant in fee, or of what other estate.—l am, &c., "RALPH BARNES."

WHITEHALL, MARCH 11. The Right Hon. Sir Thomas Wilde, Knt., Lord Chief Justice of her Majesty's Court of Common Pieas at West minster, has appointed William Crawford Newby, of Stockton-upon-Tees, in the county of Durham, Gent., to be one of the Perpetual Commissioners for taking the acknowledgments of deeds to be executed by married women, under the Act passed for the abolition of fines and recoveries and for the substitution of more simple modes of assurance, in and for the county of Durham, also in and for the north riding of the county of York. The jury retired for upwards of an hour, and when they returned into court gave their verdict for the Crown upon the first issue, and for the defendant upon the second issue; this is equivalent to a verdict for the de fendant upon the whole indictment. The verdict was received with shouts of applause, and spread through the city like wildfire. Very short!y afterwards a pro- cession was formed, which proceeded through the city with a band and flags. " Bedford-row, Sept. 22. "Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your favour, which, with your request of a plan, &c., I will immedi ately communicate to his Grace, and I doubt not I shall be commissioned to return his Grace's thanks to the Bishop and yourself for your obliging attention. I write, however, in consequence of some expressions in your letter, and to prevent all possibility of any future misunderstanding, unlikely as it may be to arise. I think that the communication of the Bishop's consent to license is accompanied by words from you, that, if un qualified and unexplained, would amount to an implied engagement on the part of the Duke, at all events, and under any circumstances, and with whatever inconve nience attended, still peremptorily to endow and convey the chapel for consecration. As the Duke is a man who would be scrupulous to the letter in the perform ante of every iota of what he could be considered, either directly or by implication, to have ezigaged for, it becomes the more necessary for me to take care hat his Grace does not lay himself unier any obligation calculated, by any posslbility, to bring him into a dilemma. s It is his Grace's most serious and deter mined intention and wish to do his best, through the medium of the Church Commissioners or otherwise, to procure the consecration of this chapel, and t) make for it a per :element regular endowment of proper amount. With the expression of this intention the Bishop will, I. doubt not, knowing his Grace's attachment to the Eeteb iishinent, feel! satisfied end rest content. But it is pos sible that there may be impediments, unlocked-for requisitions, objections made, interference with pa tronage, or the like, that may make it unadvisable, in the view of his Grace, or of any reasonable man, to proceed to the conveyance and consecration, and may rather induce his Grace to wish to wait till some further Legislative regulations afford better facilities, and remove difficulties that may in the present state of the law QXiSt. I should, therefore,: claim for his Grace a discretion in these matters beyoild what your words convey. Thet the Bishop is content that the Duke should have this 1 do not doubt, nor do I think that you meant to imply to the con trary - hut if you read again your words I think you will find that the qualification is necessary which I have here taken the liberty to make. I will send you the plan, &c., as soon as I shall receive it, and shall be obliged by the form of the petition you propose to send me.—l am, &c., "JOSEPH BIABERLY." To this the following was in answer:— "Exeter, Sept. 25, 1832. "Sir,—l have consulted the Bishop upon your letter of the 22d. The Bishop's authority, as stated in your letter of the 12th, was founded correctly, his Lordship thinks, on the previous communication; but the Bishop on perusing your letter, authorises me to say that he is content: to license the building on the declaration therein contained. I shall be glad to give every dispatch to the business on your furnishing me with the matter men gonad in your former letter.—l am, &c., "RALPH BARNES." In accordance with the practice, therefore, a petition was filled up and signed by the Duke, stating that he had built a place of worship, and was desirous of having a license, at the same time agreeing to devote the chapel for ever for the performance of service according to the rites and ceremonies of the Church of England. This was a formal petition, and the license was granted in the terms of the petition. • These letters and the petition were put in on the part of the prosecution, to show that the Duke of Somerset had broken his engagement to keep the chapel for ever for divine service according to the rites of the Church of England, in allowing it to be re. gistered for Dissenting worship. The article in the newspaper was also put in and read as follows. It was inserted in the Western Times of July 25, 1846 : " Bisuor Pn ♦ID TKE DUKE OP SO3IER sar.—lf there are in existence any two individuals totally opposite to each other in all the great and dis tinctive peculiarities and traits of human nature, most assuredly we may say as much of the two distinguished personages whose names head this article. The Bishop is an adroit man, knowing rather than intelligent, and cunning rather than clever. Everlastingly in hot water, but never clean withal. Some characters are celebrated for their freedom from stain and reproach ; no matter who may be their assailants, there is an innate purity in their composition which bids defiance to the shafts of calumny and the assaults of envy. Others there are, on the contrary, whose reputation is of that description, that anything whatever said to their disparagement is sure to gain credence. Our Bishop's character is one of this description. He is so notorious as a brawler, that any story respecting his rule and discipline provided it de not contain the imputation of any of the milder:virtues, is re ceived without question, and circulated from mouth to mouth as gospel. This is a melancholy statement, but, alas! a true one! a:.d that is why we say he is not clever, for no man can be at all times and under all pos sible circumstances in the wrong—and yet no one ever believes the Bishop to be in the right. Take the last case which .we have to recorde—his reply to Mr. Shore's petition, presented by Lord Brougham, and which is so forcibly exposed by Lord Seymour in our paper of this week. Lord Brougham gave the Bishop an opportunity of knowing, beforehand, the contents of the petition. He had plenty of time to refer to facts, in order to for tify himself with a true ans er. Bat, unfortunately, he goes quite the other way, and his reply is so directly the opposite of the truth, that he stands branded as a conse crated, careless pet vert, r of tects, ued one who does no credit to the mitre, which he is paid 200/. a week, or thereabout, to sear. Tills view of the case before us is not ours—it is nut even Lori Seymour's; but it is the constr.ined conclusion drawn from the Bishop's reported statement in the House of Lords, and :he contrary statement in the Bishop's secretary's letter, which is quoted by Lord Seymour, and given at length in the report of his speech. We started with the idea of drawing a contrast between his Grace of Somerset and the old gentleman in question—(indeed, he is always an old gentleman in question, because no one ever takes for granted all he says)—but we shall not pursue it, because the statement of the names con tains the whole of the parallel. The Duke's word %yak never questioned, and we shall not do that estimable nobleman the disservice of even stating the fact, neces sary to be stated where any word of Bishop Phillpotts' is in dispute. We almost regret that his Grace's son, Lord Seymour, has felt it necessary to waste so much virtuous indignation upon the old gentleman. It is throwing away a good commodity. The censure which would touch a right-minded man to the quick, glide; off from his impenetrable mind, even as water rolls down a duck's beet. There is no harm in stating any particular fact illustrative of his nature, because we have other bishops coming after him, and we want posterity to understand the sort of man that is not very con venient to society, nor creditable to the Church, to have for a bishop ; but words of censure or blame should never be applied to the old gentleman, because he is what he is, and at seventy years of age we do not look for violent reformations of character, save on the death bed. If, therefore, we must draw attention to the adroit attempt to pledge his Grace impliedly to an endowment, it is not because we wish to reprehend the old gentle man, but because we desire to point out something essen tially Phillpottic. The Noble Lord will, we trust, par don the familiarity with which we address hint, and over look the presumption in which- we lay down the' law of the Bishop's nature; but, if we have a weakness, it is embodied in the belief that we do, in some measure, comprehend the old gentleman and his psychological manifestations. We have studied him long, and, we trust, not altogether in vain. To the remaining portion of Lord Seymour's address we would wish to direct the serious attention of our readers, especially to that por tion which refers to sugar, in which will be found argu ments that supply a manifest deficiency.in our own hasty observations upon this question." This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. COCKBSJRN addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant, and said that the real question in this case was not between Mr. Latimer and our Sovereign Lady the Queen, but between his grace the Duke of Somerset and the Bishop of Exeter. It appeared that the Bishop of Exeter had made certain observations respecting a transaction, charging the Duke of Somerset with having violated his engagement. This had been repelled by the ' Duke as being false; and Mr. Latimer, having supported the view taken by the Duke of Somerset, and commented in his paper upon the transaction, had brought upon him , self the present prosecution. He said that the attack of SOUTH LANCASHIRE. NISI PRIUS COURT.— (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) BOW KER V. BROWNHILL.—ILLEGAL DETENTION OF A DEED. The plaintiff hi this case was one of the trustees of the Prince's Taver❑ Building Society, in existence in Manchester from 1837 to 1843, and the defendant was a gentleman residing in the same town. In October, 1837, one (hadiah M ikin was the proprietor of three shares in this club, and in the autumn of that year became pos sessed of a 1 , an of 3601. from the society, to which he became lie gave as security for this the deed of a parc.ll of land, which he had purchased. The deed wilt; ux.cated on the 20:h of September, 1837, and on the 27th of October, in the same year, was duly assigned to the sucicty. Ou the 17th of July, 1838, he borrowed a further sum of 1201., by way of further charge upon it, making 480/. in all. In 1843, when the club closed, the deed was found to be gone, and subsequently traced to the pesses , ion of the defendant, who refused to give it up, claiming upon it a lien, for a debt due to him by Makin. After the assignment made on the 27th of Oc tober, 1837, it was maintained that Makin had no legal power whati,ver over the detd. The defence was that two deeds had been drawn, but the fact was nut estab lished; and a verdict was returned fur the plaintiff— Damages 5001., to be reduced to 404. when the deed should be given up. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Henry Parher, a young man of destitute and very dis sipated appearance, was brought before Mr. Bingham for final examination, charged with having stabbed a young woman, named Eliza Burgess, and her mother, Mary Ritchie, with a shoemaker's knife, with intent to do them some grievous bodily harm. The prisoner made no Aofonur;and wus rutty committee. Mr. Multon, solicitor, Carey-street, sent a letter to the magistrates, announcing that Andrew Macklew, Esq., of Twickenham, and of the Albany, had left a legacy of 201. to be placed in the poor-box of the court for the relief of deserving indigence. WORSHIP-STREET. A flashily .dressed young man, who gave the name of John Still, but who is known to the officers by another appellation, was brought up before Mr. Hammill, on the threefold charge of uttering counterfeit coin, stealing a victorine, and violently assaulting an inspector of policy and two constables. Inspector Pascoe, of the N:division, stated that at three o'clock on Monday morning the prisoner was brought to the Robert-street station-house, upon a charge of taking a victorine from the person of a young woman, and while witness was entering the particulars in the charge sheet the prisoner commenced an attack upon him, and made such a determined attempt to escape from the two officers who had him in custody, that in the course of the contest which ensued, lasting upwards of a quarter of an hour, the witcess and constables were severely handled, and one of them had his coat nearly torn to pieces . on his back. With the assistance of other officers the pri soner was ultimately overpowered and secured with handcuffs, when on their searching him the object of his violent resistance was rendered manifest by the discovery of a counterfeit crown-piece in one of his pockets, another of which base coins it was afterwards found had been uttered a short time before at a shop in the neigh bourhood. A young woman named Taylor, serving at a tobacco nist's in Eagle-street, City-road, attended and produced the second crown piece, which she identified the prisoner as having passed at her shop in payment for a small quantity of cigars, receiving 4s. 61 in change, and said the coin appeared to be so genuine, that it was not till a considerable time afterwards it was discovered to be spurious. The prisoner was recognised by Alderman, the gaoler, as the associate of a gang of notorious " smashers," and as having been in custody before for a similar offence and another charge ; for the latter of which he was afterwards convicted, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. Thu case of uttering was so clearly established, that it was not thought necessary to proceed with the other less serious charges, and the prisoner, who declined offering any defence, was fully committed to Neivgate for trial. CLERKEN WELL. A gentleman, vvTlOgaveflsiil;l..cockstime, a half-pay officer, applied to Mr. Combe for his adiice and assist ance under the following circumstances: — Applicant s: id, that at the commencement of the pre sent month he saw an advertisement in the Times news paper, staring that re,pectable parties who wished to increase their income would be employed as collectors For orders and money, and by applying by letter to "B. C.," No. 61, Charlotte-street, Calodonian•road, Islin:Jton, every information would be afforded. Appli cant was induced to make application by letter, when he received an answer by return of post, requesting him to call at the address mentioned in the advertisement, where he was introduced to a person who represented himself as Mr. W. Campbell, the manager of the Mechanics and General Coal Club Company, newly started, capital 20,0001., in shares of 11., deposit Is. per share. The printed prospectus was handed to the applicant, which set forth that the company was established to supply the best coal.i at 225. per tan, in quantities of half a tan and upwards, fur payments weekly, or otherwise; the directors, Colonel T. Wood, Colonel H. Camp bell, Mr. D. Alton, Colonel I'. Campbell, Mr. J. Stockton, Major Joyce, Mr. T. Stanley, Mr. C. Campbell, awl mar.'Jger Mr. W. Campbell, 61, Char lotte-street, Caledonian-road, Islington, the office of the company; bankers, the National Land Bank; solicitor, B. Briggs, Esq., Westminster-road; secretary pro tem., Mr. Zivoart." Applicant said the office had a business- llke appearance; several parsons were acting as clerks; and after having the objects of the company explained to him, and being informed that the sub-collectors would realise 4/. per week, and that arrangements had been made to engage a considerable number of collectors and sub• collectors, applicant agreed to become a collec leetar, when it was stated that it would be necessary for every collector to take 40 shares at Is. each, which he readily assented to, and paid the money, and his appoint ment was made out, in which it was specified that he was to pay the further sum of GI. on or before the - next, or, is case of default, the sum of Is. per share, as belorementioned, for the 40 shares was to be forfeited, and the applicant was to receive 80/. per annum payable out of the profits of the company when_ the district of the collector was filled up. The prospectus spoke most flatteringly as to the prospects of the company, and applicant was engaged for a particular district, and he was to solicit orders; and engage sub-collectors, who were to take three shares each, at ls. per share, and to receive 15/ per annum. He went on actively with his appointed duties, collected numerous orders, and engaged several sub-collectors, pursuant to the terms of his agreement and the prospectus, up to Monday evening ast, when he proceeded to the office of the company and discovered. that the place was closed, and all the parties had bolted and had never since made their appearance, and the bubble had exploded. The place was besieged by duped and disappointed collectors and tradesmen who had been swindled, and although every possible inquiry had been made, no tidings what ever could be traced of the manager or his colleagues. Mr. Lockstone said that numerous parties in the country hail applied for shares in the company, and he had no doubt that the projuctors and those at the bottom of the; affair had realised considerable property through their ingenuity.

About half past eleven o'elcek on Friday evening a fire broke out in a small shop occupied by Mr. Clark, silversmith and jeweller, near to the Liver Theatre, in Church-street, and: so rapid was its progress, that in half an hour the place was completely gutted, and the various articles of jewellery which it contained were destroyed. The flames broke through the wall to the adjoining shop of Mr. J. Howell, bookseller, where considerable damage was done, and also extended to the dwelling-ooms above each shop, where their progress was almost immediately checked, not by the fire-engines, but by a copious supply of water projected from hose attached to the Green-lane mains. Beth parties, we learn, are insured in the North of England office. The fire occasioned a somewhat extraordinary scene in the Liver Tie:titre. The play of Used Up was proceeding when Mr. Coleman received intelligence of the fire; the actors were called from the stage, and, without any explanation, the scene suddenly dropped. The audience, bewildered by the movement, at first began to hiss; but the awful word " fire " was accidently heard, and the olfactory nerves told of its proximity, when every one in the theatre made a spon taneous rush towards the door. The pressure of the crowd, eager for exit was intense, but fortunately no accident of moment occurred from the sudden panic and alarm.—Liverpool Albion. CONTEMPLATED CHARTIST DEMONSTRATION ON KENNINGTON COMMON.—It was yesterday currently re ported, on the Surrey side of the Thames, and very generally believed, to be the intention of the Metropo litan Chartists to make another grand " demonstration." on Monday next, on Kennington Common ; and; after the adoption of their petition at a public meeting, to march in a body to the House of Commons to have it presented. It is further stated to be the intention of the same body to meet on Kennington Common on the next day (Tuesday), and walk in procession from there to the Parliament house, to demand an answer to their petition. Should these rumours turn out to be true, it is to be hope that some better regulations will be entered on than at the last " demonstration " to protect the tradespeople and inhabitants of the district from plunder and insult.
