CARITAC, Deputy. h 28th December, I$U.• " That notwithstanding this nnexampled testimony to his u a sovereign and as a man, the late Raja of Sattara was de 11,,sed by the Government of Bombay on the ith of September, 1839, for an alleged breach of treats, and has recently died an exile at litenares, solemnly proteeting his innoceeee, and never ceasing to de- Mend, to his dying hour, the opportunity of proving it. "That Major J.D. Carpenter, Me °Seer who had the custody of the Raja's patron, and was in constant communteatien with him far more than seven years, from the time of his arrival at Benares up to the day of his death, Wrote his own deliberate opinion, when called upon in his letter to the Governor-General, dated Benares, tiSth May, 1846, In the following words—(See Parliamentary Papers, No. 711, of 1847 To this end I carefUlly studied the whole of the voluminoas ttoCKinents connected with his (the Raja's) ease, and the result was a ttlief in his innocence ; and this belief has been confirmed beyond a doubt by subsequent disclosures, and by his pledging himself to prove It (his Innocence) if permitted to do so, in his letter to Sir Henry Mardinge, of the 12th December, 1544, forwarded through me, which Vtdge I atn full persuaded he (the Baja is able to redeem." "That It Mrther appears that the whole of the late Raja's private popetty was seized contrary to a distinct written pledge, under the 11/thrt or Sir James Carmte, the Governor of Bombay, confirmed by three notes from. Colonel Oval's, the Political Resident at Sattara, Which property was never restored. "Therefore resolved,— That, considering the responsible functions entrusted to this Company by the Legislature, and having regard for the honour of the empire, and security and good government of the people and princes of India, tills Court earnestly recommends to the Court of Directors to obtain the sanction of the Board of Control to the instituting of a public and impartial inquiry into the charges brought against the late Raja of Sattara, and into the manner in which the published evidence against him has been obtained, in order that the truth or falsehood of that evideuco may be made manifest, and the ftritish Government purged from the imputation of having treated the late Raja of Sattara harshly, illegally, or vindictively."

Could the Veil, which severs the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to Physical disquahlications and their attendant disap- Pointmenta.

The particular exsesses, on die nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the humeri frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains as accurate and complete ascent of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, aid of their relative conditions in health and disease.

THE 69T11 REGIMENT.—MALTA, JAN. 12.—One day last week a man of the grenadier company, Ist bat talion, 69th Regiment, garrisoned in Melia, and named 11.Carthy, after the lights were put out, was heard by one of his comrades to be walking about the room, and the sergeant who slept near heard the sound of a ram rod. In the mean time the man M`Carthy was seized by his comrade, who found his musket in his hand, and the sergeant rushing in, seized him and placed him in confinement, when he declared that his gun was loaded for the adjutant, Lieutenant Denis Dunn, and that if he was prevented then from carrying out his plot) he would do so on another occasion. His musket on being sub sequently examined was found to be loaded, though the man had not time to put on the percussion cap. The only assignable motive for the above act is the fact that some weeks ago, in consequence of several of the men having been found drunk, the colonel gave an order that each should answer to his name at roll call, and on the first occasion, the adjutant, hearing some murmuring, turned the men out, and particularly addressing himself to M'Carthy, desired him to be quiet. A general court martial will sit on the 14th instant to try the prisoner for the above crime.

Only one municipal corporation, that of Jr dburgh, has petitioned against the Bill ; nor has there been a single public meeting anywhere ventured upon by the oppo nents of the nseasure ; while in the metropolitan boroughs of Southwark, Greenwich, Lambeth, the Tower Hamlets, Finsbury, Westminster, Chelsea, and Brompton, the advocates of the measure, have tested public opinion, by calling open meetings in its support. THE LATH MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT THE EUSTOX-SQUARE TERMINUS. DEATH OF ANOTHER SUFFERER.—On Friday evening last, a man named James Hickey, another of the unfortunate men em ployed on the building which fell at the Easton-square Terminue of the London awl North-Western Railway ; died at the University College Hospital, Gower-street, this making the third sufferer who has died. There were eleven summed into the hospital, of whom two now alone remain, and they are going on favourably. WBSIATAX Missione.—Yesterday evening the an niversary meeting of the Great Queen-street (Lincoln's Inn-fields) Branch of the Wesleyan Missionary Society, was held at the Wesleyan Chapel, Great Queen-street, to receive the report for the past year. There were pre sent the Rev. Dr. Beaumont, who presided, the Rev. W. Lomas, the Rer. W. Itlinzworth, Mr. T. Smith, a native of Cape Coast Castle, &c., with a large and highly respectable number of the supporters of the society. The Rev. Chairman, in a lengthened address, pointed out the importance of promoting conversions to Christianity. The Secretary then read the report, which stated that " without some special effort, the income of the Societ' would this year fall far short of the preceding year; the consequence of which would be, that they would be under the necessity of giving up some of their missionary stations. In Ireland there had been a decrease in the body of about 600; while in France, Switzerland, and Gibraltar, they had made no advance, except that at the last named place there was an increase attending the schools. In America, New South Wales, Australia Felix, Van Diemen's Land, and South and West Africa, their prospects were flourishing; while it was intended to have a missionary establishment in China. They had in various parts of the world 294 missionary stations, 2,597 chapels and places of worship, 417 missionaries and supernumeraries, 771 interpreters and school teachers, and 7,674 ditto unpaid, 700,000 scholars, Stc.

This epistle is of such tremendous length, that we can merely give its tenor. The Prelate begins by asking the Noble Lord in what Ministerial office he has taken out his commis sion to manage the concerns of the Catholic Church of Ireland. A late order for fast and thanksgiving was sent by the Viceroy . to Catholic as well as Pro testant churches. This is of a piece with the letter of Lord Shrewsbu, who is accused as one of t ho se "discreet Catholics' that Atinisters love to employ. Dr. WHale says that Lord Arundel's letter did not breaths that "slavish and unchristian insolence which marks the communication of other English Catholic Peers, who are mere suitors for Ministerial favours. After a lively description of the miseries of the risk population, the writer :pleads in his own beha f the absence of crime in his peduliar diocese. Unfortu nately the good Prelater never alludes to Major Mahon's murder, wl - ich took place in his vicinity, mad led to the l e tt ers of the Catholie Peers. This is a very singular omission. The Prelate then denounces the system of chari table societies in Ireland, who, under English influ ence, undertake to feed and preserve children from perishing of famine, by receiving them into schools. Dr. M'Hal e ca ll s this an abominable scheme of proselytism. To another charge of Lord Shrewsbury the answer is as follows : "As one proof of its spiritual destitution, the re peal rent' is paid throughout the diocese to forward the measure of the repeal of the legislative union ! Yes ; and your Lordship's surprise, but echoing the affected surprise of our enemies, will only strengthen our determination. Poor as we are now, as your Lordship supposes, in respect to schools and chapels, we were far poorer and more destitute when we sup ported, by similar pecuniary sacrifice, the Catholic Association. Did your Lordship or your fellow- Peers, now so much scandalised at the right of citizens claimed by the priests of Ireland, after the example of St. Paul, then launch any indignant philippics against their so• called political inter ference ? Oh, no! as long as the Catholic Peers of England—dead• to society—from the lowest offices of which they were excluded— slept, like the enchanted knights of old, in the keeps of their baronial castles, bristling with the penal terrors which kept aloof the approach, nay, the very hope of liberty—a slumber in which they would have still lain, without much loss to society, had it not been for O'Connell and the Catholic priests and people of Ireland—we do not find that there was uttered any complaint from any quarter against that sacred influence that marshalled the men in this peaceful and moral warfare, until the mighty chief routed the dragons of grim enactments, that were keeping ward around their mansions, and the clangour of emanci pation awakened them once more to freedom and to life. Who could have imagined that it would have been since the chief labour of some of those Lords to propitiate the inveterate bigots, whose joy at their bondage could only be equalled by their rage at their liberation, and not only to forget the former sharers in their sufferings, but, worse than the companions of Joseph, who only forgot his captivity to labour to forge new and more galling fetter s f o r th ose w h o h a d mainly contributed i n shaking off their own. But Peers hare certain . privileges, among whi c h, n o doubt, ingratitude is to be numbered. In this very ingratitude, by which they are treated by those from whom they had a right t o expect aid, the Catholic clergy find fresh evidence to justify them in the course they have adopted. The people and the priests contribute their mite to the association out of their poverty, I will admit, and not out of their abundance.'; This very sacrifice proves their abhorrence of that mendicancy with which they are reproached by their oppressors as a national vice, and their unconquerable determination, whilst they are as loyal as any portion of her Ma jesty's subjects, to be equally free. Like the hus bandman who sows in spring to reap in harvest, they give their little offering now to obtain that sound legislation which will secure the fruits of industry, and avert the recurrence of those famines that deco late the land, which, no scarcity alone but bad laws have brought on, and which those cruel and unequal laws are terribly aggravating. As the destitution, the disorders, ai.d the crimes that afflict the courktry spi ing from those bad laws, as a troubled stream N o m a bad fountain, what more laudable in the pastors of the people than to labour peaceably for having sub stituted in their place, a system of wise and benevolent legislation ? As another source of " spiritual destitu tion " is the want of national schools, perhaps your Lordship might inform the public whether, from any recent alliance with the National Board, your sym pathies have any kindred leaning to that body. If so, will your Lordship report likewise of the Protestant catechism, that is surreptitiously taught to Catholic children, in "me of those few national schools that are forced on the ordinary of the diocese, even by Catholic Commissioners, in defiance of the rights of episcopal authority —nay, of the supreme authority of the pope ? Is your Lordship aware that it was the instruction of his Holiness that the property of the national schools resorted to chiefly by Catholics should be vested in the Catholic pastors, and that in opposi tion to that admonition every art has been employed to induce the present patrons to resign their leases and vest the property o f t h e schoo l s exc l us i ve l y i n thi s dictatorial body, under the pretence of keeping them in repair, as if th ey could not b e kept i n repa i r un d er their present trustees and patrons ?" Dr. continuos to plead, that if he does not patronise schools, he fosters and founds monasteries, which are much better. The Archbishop defends his enmity to the tem perance moveme n t b y a ff i rm i ng that t h e I r i s h are quite as temperate as the English or Scotch, and that the drunkenness of the Irish is a mere invention of the Londonera! The following i, also a good specimen of the letter : p sh' ord s' Does your L mean that we should hand over to the Minist er the control and patronage of our Church ? 'As long pr e seas the Catholic Church in Ireland remains in her prese n t state of undue popular sub serviencT she fairly and properly work the accomplishment o f a her destinies.' This sentence will no doubt affordiclue to guide the reader, as he wonders at your piety against the Catholic hierarchy and your atat y for our spiritual destitution I Yet it was in the this ' popular subserviency' which you affect to e o f this the Irish Church erected in a brief perio d in this diocese, with as well the one hundred churches our a . magnificent cathedral at their held, schools, colleges , 2 conventsthe numberless churches, cover the face of Ireland' and monasteries that now like the seducer, to insinua te Does your Lordship come, . that for a small brilse f ro m the Treasury to build a few churches be yet wauted, or to put others in repair, we should surrender our free churches, the works of our own h an ds, And the monument s people, into the hands of the the piety of a noble the Commissioners of Bequests — a measure that has our charities--or any other Parliamentary done Commis sioners, in order to enable thenl labours of others ?'

Are these the great destinies which the Irish Church is to achieve when freed from dependence on their flocks, and from popular subserviency ?' If so, it is, I trust, a disastrous destiny which the Catholics of Ireland shall never contemplate. This would ho a fate which reminds me of the words of St. Hilary, the Bishop of Poictiers, to Constantius You hate the preachers of Jesus Christ--you build the walls of our churches, in order to defile their worship--you ask the benedic tion of bishops, in order to trample on their faith, and you invite those bishops to your feasts, in order that rising from the table they may go like Judas to betray their Divine Master.' Is this the glorious vision which presents itself to your prophetic view —the coils of Ministerial patronage gently and successively drawn around the Church until she should perish in the deadly embrace? Why not, then, at once avow this project, and reveal to the world the deep schemes of diplomacy now at work at home and abroad to enslave her ? Has there been any recent attempt to extort from Rome, ever watchful against fraud, as she is firm against persecution, the delega tion of a portion of her authority to any lay envoy of your Lordship's acquaintance, in order that the discipline and next the doctrine of the Catholic Church, as well as the reputation of the Irish hie rarchy, should be played at hazard in some of your London saloons, and, like the balls of a billiard table, be flung to and fro amidst an unprincipled circle of political gamblers ? Some of the parishes in Ireland hare the spiritual aid of perhaps only one young priest, just turned out of college ! In what political training school does your Lordship mean that those young priests 'just turned out of college,' should be formed for the mission ? Msynooth 1 Ah, May nooth ! I perceive is still felt to b. a failure. Not withstanding the hopes entertained from its recent endowment—out of English money to 'be sure—and that annual labour of the Duke of Leinster and the re formed visitors to exalt, expand, refine the notions of the students by an insight into the mysteries of mangel wurtzel and bullock feeding, as well as the fusion of various metals into one, to signify how the distinction of creeds may be confounded by similar amalgama tions—Maynooth is still, and will continue, like an old monastery, where the students are peculiarly ad dicted to the study of logic and theology, and where the love of country cannot be trodden out. Why not at once reform these abuses, and trace to old Dens, as their genuine source, all the iniquities of the confessional and all the denunciations of the altar ? You must look to the rising generation of ecclesiastics. Let the old priests, like the old people through the country, die away, or live as well as they can, but you must take special care of the young ones. As they hare proved ungrateful for recent kindness, draft away at once those young incorrigible Celts to Saxon land, imperialise the priesthood and consolidate our colleges like the excise or the custom house, place them at once in London, under a board of commissioners and teachers of every colour and form of faith from Beaumont to Brougham, so recently immortalised in the epigrammatic delineations of the eloquent apostolical administrator of Derry; who, with out any compromise of their own opinions, for pro bably they do not know them, will give the Irish pupils the benefit of them all ; let them ascend the gradual scale of every heresy, the vital air of faith becomes more attenuated as they rise, until they reach the utter void of absolute unbelief; let the fashionable levity of their carriage correspond with the graceful evolutions of their creed; and let their language—a perfect type of their mongrel faith and their mongrel morals—be a mixture of Irish brogue and English cockneyism, nay, bringing on them the ridicule of the one country they are taught to admire, as well as the scorn of the other which they are trains I to disown • and when they shall have thus become accomplished gentlemen by taking from them all heart, all soul, and all affection for their country and their ereed—send them back again a pensioned, conceited, and an unfeeling priesthood, to wear at every levee the livery of their servitude and their hire, and to rival the idols of the Establishment in casting salt on the sores of a suffering people, and pouring oil on the heads of their oppressors ; and then, indeed, may you hail the advent of Ireland's re ligious and political regeneration ! !" One more extract, and a concluding one : " What a melo-drama—what a ludicrous and tragic mixture, this entire affair of Roman embassies and Irish clerical denunciations Is your Lordship aware that whilst one nobleman preaches and practises coer cion at home, his noble relative is said to be a most enthusiastic worshipper of the wildest forms of liberty abroad ? Nay, he is represented as the bosom friend of the youthful Ciceroacchio, who, it is said, aspires to be another Rienzi, and to restore the reign of the ancient Tribunes on the ruins of the Empire of the successors of St. Peter. It is even said that Lord Minto, too, aspires to the fame and honours of Pe trarch, becoming a musical sonneteer in favour of the coming political millennium, and he may be prolong ing his stay in Rome until, like the admirer of liberty and Laura, he shares the triumphs of the young Rienzi, by receiving the crown of poetry on the Capitol. It is the representation.; of such an am bassador, said to be so hostile to the Holy Father, you hare been strengthening by your ca lumnies on the Irish hierarchy. And for this public scandal I now demand adequate reparation. Your Lordship, at least, will not controvert the position, that evangelical discipline requires that for public sins there should be a public penance.' You are perfectly right, my Lord; David was not a more cor rect casuist when, unconscious of the tendency of his reply, he answered to the apologue of Nathan ; and for your public denunciations of the entire Catholic Church in Ireland, and some of its dignitaries in par ticular, we require your public atonement. You owe it principally to the Bishop of Elphin aad the Arch bishop of Cashel, the successor of St. Corrnac, who, though adorned with the crown and mitre, bequeathed to posterity the richer legacy of his sanctity and Irish literature. It seemed to have been the object of a rancorous faction to make the Irish bishops pio neers of the Attorney-General ; to smooth his approaches by breaking down the fences of the sanctuary, and to hand over their innocent clergymen, stripped of the reverence of the people and the panopoly of their sacred character, to become the victims of some persecuting bigots, in order that the flock might be easily dispersed, after striking down the pastor. Go, then, my Lord of Shrewsbury, and for this grievous scandal against the Church do penance, and weep between the porch and the altar: The pear end of the staff to which you have directed attention is emblematical of the correction to be administered to penitents. This penance is to be tempered with mercy, and even towards Peers, who have generally more of proud flesh than other peni tents, we should forbear any unnecessary rigour, but should rather stretch out the crook to reclaim their wandering, and the staff to sustain their faltering steps, as they approach the tribunal of mercy; thus realis ing the mystical signification of the pastoral crozier— Pungit rebelles, sustinet infirmos, reducit errantes.' " I hare the honour to be your Lordship's very obedient servant, ;4 JOHN, Archbishop of Turn. ACCIDENT On THE ICE.—On Saturday a eoroaer's inquest was held at the New Miller Dam Inn, near Bradford, Yorkshire, on the bodies of four youths, who were drowned on Thursday evening last. It appeared that on Thursday eight or ten boys were amusing them selves by sliding upon the large reservoir connected with the Old Mill in Brick-lane, Bradford, in the occupation of Messrs. Ellis and Priestman, corn millers. They confirmed for some time to follow each other upon the ice in rapid succession until at length, unfortunately, one of them fell, and, as an unavoidable consequence, others fell over him. Owing to the great pressure the ice broke, when six of them were plunged into the water; two of them, however, got out in a most unaccountable manner, but the remaining four were drowned. An alarm was immediately made, and by means of two planks nailed together, and the use of two boat-hooks and the well creepers, the bodies were got out in the course of two or three hours. The bodies were removed to the house of Mr. Thomas Bates, the New Miller Dam Inn. The names of the unfortunate lads are John Townsley, aged twelve years, son of Francis Townsley, Thornton-street; John Whalley, aged thirteen years, son of Charles Whalley, of Chain-street, Silabridge-lane; Lister Dra• cup, son of Abraham Dracup, of Silsbridge lane ; and William Smith, aged eleven years, son of John Smith, of Brick- lane. The dam is eight or ten yards deep in some places, and the lads went down about eight yards from the edge. It is somewhat strange that boys are allowed to slide upon this reservoir, especially as so many lives have been lost in the same place and under similar circumstances. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death." SERIOUS CEARGES AT HARROW.--A man named Parker, who had resided for some time at Har row, and who, it appeared, had secretly deserted the place in the debt of several of the inhabitants there, was on Saturday brought before Benjamin Rotch, Esq., a county magistrate, on a charge of feloniously stealing a bay horse, a grey mare, ten pigs, household furniture, &c., from a Mr. Jones. Much interest was excited, but it appeared that the charge of felony could not be sus tained, Parker being the servant of Jones, and the magistrate declared that he had done all that a faithful servant would do. Mr. Parker was therefore dismissed, and immediately left Harrow for Blackheath, whence he had been brought in custody. [PRICE 3D. IRISH SPECIAL COMMISSION. LIMERICK, J. 22.—This morning Jameg Quaine, a heavy, loutish fellow, about forty years of age, was placed in the dock, charged, first, with the wilful murder of Mr. Ralph Hill in November last, and, secondly, with aiding and abetting in its perpe tration. The particulars of this outrageous murder were detailed by us in our report of the trial of Jam es Skeehan, who was on the 20th instant found guilty of being a party to it, and the case presented to the Court to-day was but a repetition o f that which was investigated on the occasion of Skeehan's trial; the only additional particle of evidence being the fact that the prisoner had borrowed on the night before the murder a single barrelled gun from a person named M'Namara, and that on the day after the murder was committed he told him that unfortu nately Mr. Hill was shot—that what was done could not be undone—and that he had concealed the gun in a pigstye near the haggard, whence the shots were fired. It was also proved that the gun was found by the police in the very spot where the prisoner said he had concealed it. The jury, without retiring, found the prisoner Guilty. The wretched m an , w h o had betrayed throughout his trial symptoms of the greatest fear, and had been most restlessly attentive to the whole of the proceed ings, was then remanded to the ga o l f or t h e purpose a being brought up again after a short interval to have sentence passed upon him. The trial was not over until five o'clock. The two men, John and Thomas Frewin, who yesterday pleaded " guilty " to the charge of har bouring, with their brother William Frewin, the notorious Ryan (Puck), were then placed in the dock. The ATTOANB7•GEEEBAL said he had read the affidavits made by the prisoners in extenuation of their guilt., in which they stated they were ignorant of the law relating to the crime of which they had been convicted. The Lord-Lieutenant had done all in his power to make known the law upon the subject, but under the circumstances to which he had referred on the preceding evening, he would ask their Lordships to inflict such a measure of punishment, short of transportation, as their Lordships should think fit. The LOAD CHIRP JUSTICE then sentenced Thomas Frewin to imprisonment for six months from the date of his committal ; John to imprisonment for twelve mouths ; the former being a shorter period from the circumstance of his returning home only a few hours before Ryan was captured in the house. James Skeehan, James Qusine, and Michael Howard, were then placed in the dock, and the Learned Judges having put on their black caps, The LORD Ciller BARON then proceeded t• pass upon them the last sentence of the law, and fixed the 22d of February for their execution. We understand that it is the intention of the Attorney- General to apply to their Lordships for an adjournment of the Commission for this county until Thursday, the 10th of February next; but it is not anticipated that it will be found necessary to resume the proceedings, as the assizes will be held within a few weeks from the present time. On ➢Monday morning their Lordships will proceed to Clonmel, and will open the Commission for the south Riding of Tipperary soon after their arrival. THE LATE FIRE IN THE BUR- LINGTON ARCADE. The following is a copy of the official report of the damage done : "Jan. 22.—Three quarters past 4 a.m.—Called by police and strangers to the fire in Burlington-arcade, which was subsequently extinguished by firemen and the engines of the parish, London Brigade, County and West of England.

The principal portion of the houses are the property of the lion. C. C. Cavendish, and are insured in the Westminster Fire-office." The arcade was on Saturday night completely thronged with people who had been drawn there to visit the ruins. Owing to the admirable arrange ments of the constables, not the slightest confusion prevailed. Gls Est , Lostox Ix Souo.—Yesterday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, a fearful explosion oc curred upon the premises belonging to Mr. Ellis, a cur rier and leather dresser, New Compton-street, Soho. From inquiries made, it appeared that at the time above mentioned, Mr. Ellis, on going into the shop for the purpose of lighting the gas, was suddenly hurled to the floor by the force of an explosion which resembled the discharge of a piece of ordnance, at the same time the partitions of the shop were blown down, and the windows sent flying across the street. An age d f ema l e w h o was passing at the time was thrown down with great violence, but, fortunately, she received no personal injury. The damage is not extensive. REMOVAL OF THE FEMALE PRISONERS FROM THE CITY COMPTER TO THE BORoUGH GAOL.—The whole of the female prisoners of the very crowded Giltspur street Compter are being removed to the Borough, or Clink prison in Stoney-lane, Tooley- street. This altera tion has been directed by the Court of Aldermen, in con sequence of the packed condition of the City Compter, and the insubordination that prevails amongst the female and male prisoners. On the latter being, removed this establishment will enable the authorities to carry out the separate system more effectually with the male priso ners. The Borough Compeer is capable of containing 160 prisoners. Sinco the abolition of the police-office at the Town-hall, presided over by one of the aldermen, it has been made use of more as a storehouse than a prison. It has, however, now undergone a complete alteration, and being within the jurisdiction of the City authorities, will afford the necessary accommodation for the increase of prisoners in the City, until the contemplated new house of correction at Holloway is completed.

At the Insolvent Debtors' Court at Maidstone, last week, Stephen Richard Bishop, farmer, at Boughton Aluph, was opposed by Mr. Duncan, on the part of the Earl of Winchilsea, and supported by Mr. Digby, soli citor. There were only two creditors in the schedule, one of whom was the Noble Earl, the opposing creditor. This was a creditor's application under the Act which empowers a creditor to file a petition where the debtor refuses. The insolvent had been turned out of a farm belonging to the Earl of Winchilsea, and a claim for dainag-es made on him for 1961. 175., which he resisted. An action was brought against him, which was referred, and decided against him with costs. lie then possessed about 1,5491. in money, of' which ho gave 750/. to his sister, as alleged, for money borrowed of her. He had also paid a large sum to another sister. The question in this case was, whether he had really owed his sisters any money? The insolvent swore that he did, and so did the sisters, but the Court was so d i ssatisfied with the case, as to intimate that at the next Court he . would be remanded for three years. Costs of prosecution allowed.--Kentish Observer. THE CREW or THE CONCORD, AMEZICLN VESSEL. —The American vessel Adrian, Captain Scott, from Mobile, arrived at Havr e on Frida y mornin g , having on board the crew of the United States vessel the Concord, of Boston, who were picked up at se, on the 27th of December, when nearly exhausted with fatigue, in 28 Ideg. 20 m. north latitude, 55 deg. 16 m. west longitude, their ship having sprung a leak and gone down. All on board had taken to the boat, except one man, who perished in the wares. THE IRON AND COAL DISTRICTS OF SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE. SATURDAY.—The populates of the mining districts of this neighbourhood remain in a very unsettled and unsatisfactory state. In the course of the last few days considerable numbers of the turn-outs, generally at an ear ly h our i n th e morning, have assembled at some of the pits in the vicinity of Dudley, and by intimidation and violence compelled the few men who, for the sake of their families, con tinued or had resumed their work at the reduced rate of wages to desist from their employ. The works at Holly-hall and also those at Woodside, belonging to Messrs. Cochrane and Geach, were subjected to these visits, and in one or more instances acts of great per sonal violence were committed. Under these circumstances, and apprehensive of an increase of such outrages, the magistrates have promptly issued a notice warning the colliers and others to refrain fr om b reac h es of the peace, and express ing a determination on the part of the authorities to afford every protection to those who are willing to work, and at the same time to punish severely all persons who commit any outrage or disturb the peace of the country. Three persons have already been apprehended for acts of intimidation and'violence, and their cases duly dealt with by the magistrate. A detachment of cavalry is stationed at Dudley, and it is intended immediately to considerably aug ment the constabulary force of the district. It is to be regretted that the discontent of the workpeople is considerably aggravated by orators de legated by the National Association of United Trades, and that at two meetings, one held near Dudley yes terday evening, the colliers on strike resolved unanis. mously to stand out until their demands were conceded by the masters. At present there does not appear the slightest prospect of the iron and coal masters giving way. It is said that the miners and ironworkers in the employment of Lord 'Ward are to receive !notice to• night of a reduction in their wages similar to that agreed to by the other iron and coal masters in the neighbourhood. It is therefore probable that within a very short time there will not be a single furnace or pit at work in the whole of the South Staffordshire district—a fearful prospect. In the mid s t, h owever, o f th i s lamentable state of things it may be ob serve d th a t , w i t h only one or two exceptions, the various firms of the district, great and small, maintain their position without any rumours of a questionable character. Placing the Oak Farm Works out of question----for this concern, it appears, WAS insolvent before the present commercial crisis occurred—there has been only one positive and publicly announced failure in the district, and even in that case the liabilities of the firm were comparatively light and unimportant. At a meeting of the coal trade held at Stourbridge this week, it was unanimously agreed that a reduction of ls. per ton upon coal, and 6d. upon all slack, which remains as before, should take place from the Ist of January, 1848. This looks as if there were heavy stocks on hand, or that the strike was consi dered not likely to be of long continuance. JEWISH DISABILITIES. A very numerous and respectable meeting was held last night, at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, for the purpose of adopting a petition to Parliament in favour of the removal of the disabilities under which the Jews now labour. The most perfect unanimity in support of the measure of Lord John Russell pervaded the meeting. At seven o'clock Mr. J. H. Palmer was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN directed the attention of the meet ing to the importance of the object for which they bad assembled. The Jews were now admitted into many high offices, and it was inconsistent to exclude them from Parliament.—(Hear.) Mr. THWAITIIS proposed the first resolution, which was " That this meeting is of opinion that ft is in direct opposition to the fundamental principles of civil and religious liberty that any of her Majesty's subjects should be deprived of their political rights by reason of their religious opinions.' It was the duty of the people (said the speaker) to express their opinions to the Legislature in such a manner as would show their desire that all classes of British subjects should enjoy equal rights and privileges. He hoped also that the people would follow up this movement, and seek for that most desirable improve ment, a separation of Church and State.—(Hear.) Mr. FULLER seconded the resolution, and expressed his opinion that the Bill of Lord John Russell for the removal of Jewish disabilities would pass in the House of Commons, but it was in the House of Lords that the great and principal opposition was to be expected; but the Lords ought not to forget, that the will of the people had always been potent in advocating the liberty of the subject.—(Cheers.) The resolution was unanimously agreed to. Mr. DIXON moved the second resolution, " That the meeting observes with satisfaction that a Bill has been introduced into the House of Commons by Lord John Russell having for its object the removal of many of the disabilities now imposed up in the Jews." The Rev. J. BoaNer seconded the resolution, and remarked that it was a very weak objection to the admission of men to Parliament to say that they were Jews. The:Government ('id not object to borrowing money from the Jews, and it was not said that money so borrowed should not be applied to all the purposes of this Christian country. Why then should they be excluded from Parliament ?—(Hear, hear.) The Roman Catholics had been admitted, although they were altogether opposed to the Protestant religion, so that the principle was admitted as regarding the ad mission of the Jews to Parliament. He could not see ' any reason, either religious or political, for excluding the Jews from Parliament. The resolution was agreed to. Mr. THORNBORROW moved petitions to the Houses of Lords and Commons in favour of the measure for the removal of Jewish disabilities. The resolution having been seconded by Mr. JonN liuNT, and supported by Mr. Wznnas, was carried by acclamation. A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, after which the meeting separated.

Margaret Howard deposed that deceased was an unmarried woman, 36 years of age, a native of Thornbury, and lived by shoe-binding, and lodged at 6, Gloucester-lane. On the 9th of January she came to my door and showed her thumb, and said it was broken; that she was at Clifton and she slipped down by treading en a piece of orange peel on the pavement, and broke the bone of her thumb; it was very painful, and the pain increased, and she went to the infirmary, where it was attended to by the doctors. She was an out-patient, but yesterday she was taken into the house. She objected to go in before. She died yesterday. Mr. Hare, house-surgeon to the infirmary, stated deceased had at first a compound dislo cation of the thumb; it went on favourably till Satur day, when she was advised to come into the house, which she refused. Yesterday she was brought here with lock jaw from the injury, from which there was no recovering her. Ether was tried without advantage. A piece of bone was removed from the thumb at an early period. She described the accident as occasioned by falling down in the street. Verdict—" Died from dislo cated thumb and lock-jaw, from falling on a piece of orange peel on the pavement." We trust that the me lancholy result in the above case will act as a warning to those who are in the careless and reprehensible habit of throwing orange peel and such like things on the Pa"' ment.—Gloucester Journal.
