QUESTIONS RELATIVE TO LABOUR IN FRANCE. The follnwing is a general expolh of the Govern ment Coninai.sioo of Labour, sitting at the Luxeni. Bourg : " Soarcely ancounvd and installed, the Commission was able to enumerate, by disasters all the defects of our ec onomical syst , m. A society shaken to its very foundations owing to the too long application of a subversive principle—such was the prospect of the Commission. Trades ruined and crying for assistance, workshops in confusion, interests at war, workmen and masters divided by diurnal dis putes, undertakings suddenly stopped, State interference loudly claimed by the proprietors of factories, State pro tection invoked with anguish cr anger by a host of operatives reduced to their last shifts—such is the spectacle which has brought under our hotit.e the system of competition reduced to give a lomat account of its ruis,rt,s, " But, on the other hand, it was easy to perceive that there was a fundamental tendency in this diseased society, if not general, at all events very energetic, to encourage generous attempts, and to endeavour to organize a better system of labour. " To meditate with ardour the code of tha prolitaires to be emancipated, whilst silently preparing the mate rials—in short, to confine ourselves to solitary studies would not have sufficed. Place.' in the midst of a con fused medley of interests, pressed by the clamours of misery seized by the most legitimate impatience, we had to listen to complaints, to allay irritation, to settle dif ferences with impartial benevolence, to maintain the tranquillity of Paris by a permanent system of arbitra tion, to welcome the operatives who offered to establish fraternal associations—colonies of the future by the side of a tottering past. " It does not appertain to our province to explain the dangers of such a mission. the midst of the most frightful distress, in the tempestuous intoxication of a revolution, under the weight of the most urgent neces sities, and with full coLsctousness of their strength, the working classes, by whom we have lived surrounded, have constantly behaved with calmness and confidence. Facts speaks fur us. ` RECONCILIATIONS. " Summoned daily as arbitrators between masters and workmen, we interfered whenever our interference was accepted by both parties. A large number of reconcilia .tions was thus eff‘eted. We will only mention a few, on account of their extreme importance, for the peace of the capital was staked on the issue. " And, first, we have been generally reproached for having decreed the diminution of the duration of daily labour. Well, apart from the considerations of justice, humanity, and sound economy, which militated in favour of that measure, it is right that the public should know that the question, on the day following the revolution, was one of civil war. What did we do, however ? Notwithstand ing the ardent and apparently irresistible demands addressed to us, we boldly refused to decide an) thing be fore we had consulted the heads of establishments , and_ having as,emblecl them in large numbers, they hastened to adhere to the demands of their operative s, so equitable did it appear to them to adhere and so perilous to refuse. " Paris was not aware that on the morning ce the 29th of March the inhabitants rose without any prospect of bread. The journeynrn bakers formally refused to continue their labours un less their painful situation were ameliorated with out delay. They came to the Luxembourg in thousands to exoose their sufferings and their resolutions. All the baking establishments had been abandoned, and were not to be r,turned to. The masters battened to us in consternation. 6 4 The delegates depntPd by the mssters and the work• men discussed (thanks to our intervention) all the details of their respective situations. At length an amic ,ble arrangement was effected; a tariff was adopted which gave g,ere-ral vatistaction, and these thousands of men, whose toil supplies the primary necessities of the city, retired grateful and moved. Paris was supplied wilfi bread the next day, as usual, and ;he inhabitants did not even dream that they had been reduced to the rery verge of starvation 6' Some days previously the traific in Paris had been doubly menaced. "It was at fir s t th e pavement o f t h e streets w hi c h still kept up the revolutionary movement. No vehicles could pass. Now the paviors refused to clear the thoroughfares, and demanded more exorbitant terms. Recognised as lestirnate, in a contradictory discussion between masters and workmen, the demands of the paviors were favourably admitted, and the streets resumed their wonted appearance. " But no sooner had the pavements been replaced, and the resumption of traffic rendered possible, than the vehicles Cline to a stand-still in all parts of Paris. At first it was the omnibuses, favorites, &c., next the hack. ney coaches, cabriolets—in short: all the public vehicles. " For several days a similar discussion took place. At length an agreement was made, and the traffic was everywhere renewed. "It became necessary to construct a provisional ball for the meetings of the new National Assembl, the old Chamb e r of Deputies not being sufficiently spacious for the accommodation ot the repre sentatives of the Republic. At the very mo ment when the works ought to have been pushed forward with the greatest activity—the opening ot the Assembly drawing nigh—the tilers descended from the roofs, an i refused to re-Ascend, Owing to some dispute with the contractors.. Our intervention was again re quired, and as soon as we had appealed to Caeir pa triotism, the tilers offered to labour g ratuitously for the Repubiic—a generosity which the Republic could not aci.:ep!, for it thenceforth owed a second stipend—one of gratitude. "These reconciliations are sufficient to show what we have eff,cted. The whole list would be too long. There are few branches of trade which have not appealed to us; we will only mention the mechanics of the atelier of Derosne and Fail, those of the atelier Farcot, the paper stainen, the zinc-work operatives, the straw-hat mama factnrers, the nightmen, and the washerwomen of the baniien, &e. _ _ " It should be remarked that it was most frequently the masters that were the first to solicit our arbitration, and impart tLeir embarrassments to us. The masters and Clic opera-dyes approach the Luxembourg by sepa rate roads; they almost invariably depart by the same! " The proc?s•verbaus of these reconciliations are deposited in the archives of the commission, invested with the signatures of the parties—modest records of labour and of concord! time for vain palliatives has passed away. A desperate disease requires sovereign remedies. "And what? We have sought the solution of this qu ,, stion in pod faith, : account a the :: , cPaitie , 3 Lt a transition wth ail the care counsel , dby eq ty, but at the -acne time. betting out from this principle—do your duty, and good will enNue." The commission will continue the publication of its exposi in the course of a few days. PRICES OF SHARES. IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM- PANIES' STOCK.

Several important associations have been founded by r:ur care. and these societies are now at work in the middle of Paris. " 'rho Oid btc,rs') Prison of Clichy is transformed into one vast workshop.

National Guards, who rushed i n crowds to the doors of the workshops to ask for their cl o t hes, and the inexpe rience of the management, so natural in the outset, at first occasioned some confusion. 13 ut measures for re storing order were taken, and now the associated work men—some assembled in the huge hall of the old parker, the others dispersed in groups throughout the cells, are t.working with the generous order which is inspired by he certainty of developing a fruitful idea.

P. Richards, chair man ot the board ut directors, in the chair. The report, of which we give a short abstract, stated that the entire line from Bruges to Courtrai, a distance of about thirty-three miles, was in working operation, and the traffic yielded a return of 4001. per week, in cluding a small portion of goods traffic. This amount of traffic, although less than had been calculated on, was considered as a fair result on the first opening. This was the state of things last year, and the directors re gretted to state that instead of the traffic increasing, as w e s then expected, it had rath‘r decreased. The CHAIRMAN, on moving the adoption of the report, dwelt at s..me length upon the disappointment the directors had experb need in the falling off of the traffic, but there orris t very prospect of the expenses attendant upon the working of the line being reduced, and when they wet agai,,,thetr report would nu doubt be of a more favourable character. Mr. T I NDAL ATHISON moved, as an amendment, committeeof to inquiry, consisting of five share• investigate the financial affairs an d liabilities of the company, and to re p or t th ereon t o holders, that a be appointeda special meeting of the shareholders. After a lengthened discussion, the amendment was negatived, and the report adopted by a small majority. Thanks were then voted to th e Ch a i rman , an d the meeting terminated.

WOOLLEN TRADE OF LlEDS.—Since this day week there has been more goods sold at our cloth halls than of late, and considerably more goods have been delivered out of the halls than has been for a long time past. The favourable news from India has caused goods to be taken for that market pretty freely, and there has also been rather more purchases made for the United States. On the whole the cloth markets have materially improved.

From rf:rl -, -.lpondence ;aid on :le table of both Houses of Parliament on Friday, we give the following extracts, in addition to the letters which have already appeared : DIR. BULIVER TO THE DEKEOFSOTOMAYOR. " Madrid, April 12, 1848. " Sir,—l have received your communication of yes terday, with its enclosures. "Referring to the observation you make with respect to the Clamor Publico, I have consulted the columns of that journal, and so far from dise ,, vering that it showed any particular cognisance of my proceedings, I find that it stated I li.cl scut in a note to your Excellency, when I had neither sent, nor in fact written the note which you sub.equeLtly received ; and I mieti , :Idd that so far From the de,criiition rat the CI ',nor Publico that , t was acquainted with my cotnumnicatton, it is perfectly clear, front this description, that it kn-w nothing what soever upon the subject. Other notes which I have never written have been in a similar manner announced by the opposition journals ; I cannot, therefore, under stand your allusion to the accidental and incorrect asser tion of the Clamor Publico, unless it is meant to affirm that if an opposition paper should chance to guess any step I might be likely to take, I was from that moment precluded fr , .m taking it. " Very diff•rent grounds should I have for complaint if, searching into the columns of some of those news papers which support her Catholic Majesty's Govern ment, I sought to connect the sentiments and language of the one with the sentiments and language of the other; very different grounds should I have for complaint, it 1 thought proper to give importance to the circumstance that the whole of the confidential correspondence. I had with your Execllerxy on the subject of Portuguese affairs was translated Immediately, word for word, into a newspaper conducted under the auspices of the Messrs. Cabral, at Lisbon. " I wish not, however, to recur to any question which could produce unnecessary irritation or recrimination between us, and shall, thwretore, pass rapidly to other passages in our note which require a reply. I shall en deavour to give one with that calm moderation which I never wish to forsake. " It is perfectly true that the remarks I enclosed from Lord Palmerston were written at a time when the Cortes were yet sitting, and when the ,Government had not as yet committed any of those acts which have re cently characterised its conduct. They were, therefore, merely in contemplation of the possibility of such a state of things as his Lordship thought might arrive, and to which when it did arrive they were applicable. The sudden suspension, without any assigned cause, of the National Representative Assembly, the violent arrest and incarceration of the most distinguished citizens, in consequence of a tumult which a state paper declared to be the mere work of a few drunken groups, and with which no attempt has yet been made, even remotely, to connect the distinguished persons who have been seized like malefactors, with the intention, as is generally stated, of sending them to the Philippines, justified per haps in a certain degree the previsions of her Majest}'s Secretary of State fur Foreign Affairs, and induced the at all events to think that a friendly counsel, which events may ere long unfortunately prove to have been founded on too solid grounds, might have its weight with those eho have in their charge at this moment the safety of her Catholic Mejesty's crown. Your Excel lency, wholly misunderstanding (I may say as I proceed) the nature of this counsel. deems it expedient to intro duce comparisons between the position of the Qteen of England and that of Queen Isabella, and sales me what would Lord Pa merston say if M. Isturitz should, at your Excellency's instructions, give her Majesty's Mi nister for Foreign Affairs advice as to his policy in the United Kingdom, or suggest the formation of another Cabinet in lieu of that presided over by Lord John Russell. If I desired to answer this observation in the spirit in which it is made, I should not want the means for so doing, but I prefer confining myself to observing that there is no parallel between the two cases. The Queen of England has not had to seek the assistance of the Queen of Spain, nor receive it on certain grounds or pretensions ; whereas the Queen of Spain, in her struggle tor the throne of this kingdom, did receive the support and countenance of Great Britain, which neither stipulated for nor acquired any sort of advantage for herself on account of these services having been ren dered, considering that she was repaid for them by the satisfactory conviction that she had thus cont,ibuted to coaler on the noble people of this country the benefits of a free and enlightened Government. " For these reasons, bai far from deeming, as you seem to think, that the conduct of her Catholic Majesty's Go• verninent towards its subjects ought to be a matter of perfect indifference to her Majesty's Government, I am bound to tell you that I c insider it is the duty of the British Government out of regard to the youthful and inexperienced Qaeen, whose clanni it helped to confirm, and whose fortunes are now in 3 our hands—out of re gard for the people of Spain, whose impri , vement and good government it thought to advance during the civil conflict I have alluded to—and still more out of respect towards the English nation, which may yet demand the reason why England preferred the cause of Q teen Isa bella to that of llun Carlos—to make it clearly under stood, that if a military despotism be established in this country under Qiieen Lobelia's name, or that if her Catholic Majesty's Government be overthrown in the attempt to establi.h such despotism, either of these events will occur in spite of the remonstrances and counsels of England. "It is your province, doubtlessly, if you so deem proper, to treat such counsels or remonstrances with resentment and contempt—to reject, repudiate, and re fuse to receive them; but in that case my responsibility and that or my Government end. Whatever responsi bility remains will attack the reputati , m of others, and to their reflection I appeal from the document which is now before me. Indeed you will permit me to express my conviction that, notwithstanding that document, your Excellency will give due consideration and concede a just value to the sentiments of a state whose opinion is a moral power that will ever prevail as long as Great Britain remains the constant and consistent advocate of liberty, order, and ju,tice. " It only remains for me to add, that I too sincerely regret and deprecate the tone which your Excellency has given to our correspondence, not to disclaim any intention on my part, either originally to have provoked or now to irritate it. Nor will it be my fault if the relations between us should lose any of that character of urbanity which our respective situations, and the interests of our respective countries, require. " I have, &c. (Signed) 'VISCOUNT PALMERSTON TO MR. BULWER. " 11. L. BULWER." Foreign-offiee, April 19. 1848. " Sir,—With reference to your dispatch of the 10th instant, I have to inform you that her slaj-siy'4 Go vernment approve the language which you held to Q seen Christina on the 4th inst., poictinz out to her Mtj"sty the importance of governing Spain by constitutional weans ; and that her Mak•siy's Grovernmt.nt likewise approve of the note which you addressed on the 7th inst. t,. the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, offering similar counsel to the present 'Ministers ut her Catholic Majesty. " I am, &c.. (Signed) " PALMERSTON." VISCOUNT PALMERSTON TO MR. BULWER. "Foreign-. dice, April 20, 1848 " Sir,—l have received y , .ur dispatch of the 11th inst. with its enclosures. and I have to instruct you to state to the Duke of Sottimayor that her Majesty's Govern ment entirely approve the step which you took in making your communication of the 7th instant, and likewise of your note of the 12th. "That her maj-sty's Government, however, are not at all offended, either by the sending back of your com munication of the 7th April, or by the angry tone and tanguage of the Duke of Sotomsyor's note of the 10th, however they may regret the existence of those feelings in the minds of the Spanish Government, of which the language of his Excellency's note and the return of yours were proofs. . "Her Al,j. sty's Government, in making to the Go vernment or Soin the representations, and in giving ,he advice, which your communication conveyed, were insoired by no sentiment but that of sincere friendship for Spain, and of deep interest in the welfare of Queen Isabella. They felt that in making that communication they were performing a duty, and act tak ng any undue liberty ; and, therefore, at all events, it is a satisfaction to her Majesty's Government to reflect, that although their counsel has been rejected and their communication has been returned, the note has, neverthele.s, been read and the counsel has been tendered ; and that whatever calamity may happen in Spain, her Majesty's Govern ment stand acquitted of not having done what they could to prevent it. " With regard to the contents of the Duke of Soto mayor's note, her Majesty's Government have only to observe, that, if the right of her Britannic Majesty to the throne of the United Kingdom had been disputed by a pretended rival; if civil war had arisen out of such a conflict of claims; if the British Government had only a few years ago sent a peeial envoy to Madrid to solicit the assistance of Spain in order to Place her Majesty on her throne, if that assistance had been given, both mo rally by treaty engagements, and physically by military and naval forces; if the aid thus afforded by Spain had contributed in so essential a degree to secure the Crown to her Maj?sty, that it might with truth be said that without such aid her Majesty would not now have been Queen of England ; if, moreover, there still remained a pretender who asserted his right, and whose pre tensions were bicked by a large party in the United Kingdom ; and if upon every symptom of danger from that pretender, and that party, the British Govern ment was in the habit of reminding Spain of the treaty engagements she had entered into ; was also in the habit of asserting that those engaements were still in force; and was continually claiming the benefit of the alleged existence of those engagements;—if all those things existed, and if the Government of Spain had, in a moment of general disturbance its Europe, warned the British Government of dangers by which in their opinion the security of her Majesty's throne was InenacA ; I think I may confidently affirm thrt under such circurn stanues any statesmen who might be Ministers of the British Crown, instead of sending back the note in which such representations were conveyed, and instead , f replying to it in discourteous terms, would have iccepted the communication in the same spirit of friend ship in which it was made, and whether they adopted or not the advice which it contained, would at least have considered it as a proof of the continued existence of that friendship on the part of Spain, to which in such case would have been owing the circumstance th3t those British Ministers had the honour of being advisers of the Crown, instead of being proscribed exiles in a oreign land. "You will transmit to the Duke of SutonaayQr a copy of this dispatch. "I am, &c., (Signed) ".PALUEIZSTON." FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. f.~ ~ ... ~' .. . ^~~.. _ • G.

James Ralph, and other influential noblemen and gentlemen. The Rev. J. C. 6:ibtile, read the report for the past year. Tnis document showed a total sum for the nest yesr, including annual subscrip tions (4561. 18s.), balance at last audit (6881. 14s. and various contributions from local associations, of 7,0761. 19s. Id. The expenditure leaves a balance in the hands of the bankers of 6711. 10s. The Bishop of Nor wich, in rising to wove the adoption of the report which had been just real, said he besought the friends or these institutions to persevere in their good w,,rk, tor tho u g h they were working in a path cornpargtively obscure, still they had received the encouragement of succors attendant upon their efforts; and the eye of God was still watching over their pious and philanthropic labours. He concluded by moving the resolution, which having been briefly seconded by Lord Radstock, was carried unanimously. Other appropriate resolutions were then agreed to, and a vote of thanks to Admiral B iwles was in like manner carried by acclamation, after which the meeting separated. UNSTAMPED PUULICATIONS.—At the meeting of the Church of England Sunday school Institute, it was stated by the Rev. W. M. Whittemore that there were 60 periodicals at a price from one halfpenny to three farthings, published every week. There were no less than 16 640,000 of these publications published annually, all of them bad in character, but some of them so tn, scru, ulous in their tendency, as to make one thrill with horror at their very titles. There was one with a we, lily circulation of 100,000, which was said to be a great h.. vourite in families, whose main feature was the reprint of the most obj-ctionable French novels. All these were read principally by the young, and ofte , i by the children of the poor, aho had b, en educat, d in S , ndal • schools, and thus acquired a taste for r, ading.—Jan Bull.

Fuller and Pa' rell. y (eine; te Hew, who have 1%' ,. .m often 1 , ;J: Col o Feller had an leg, Mous mode of escaping detection. lie had pocket-holes, but no Rickets, in the front of his truck, and when his hands appeared to he in his pockets, they were engaged with the pockets of others. The policeman observed the adroitness with w hich the artist exercis©d his professional skill, and asked a gentle man who had just passed him, whether he had lost any thing ? N o ," said he ; but, upon p u tti ng hi s h an d to his pocket, he altered his tone and expression. and said, —"I have been robbed of my handkerchief." Fuller, who was in the custody of another officer at the time, bad whipped away . the handkerchief in question, and had is o others in his possession, besides the duplicates, which proved him to be a general dealer in the article. The prosecue.r, in answer tea questien learn Alder man Gibbs, said ;hat he was obliged to leave town im mediately for Prussia, and th,t his deteution would be attend. d with much lays to him. Alderman Ginea--I uller is en experienced offender, and certainly he ought to go fur t ria l t o the Ce n tr a l Criminal Court. Fuller—l hope you will not send me there. Give me but one trial more. My poor mother is dying, and it will break her heart in her last moments if she hears that I stand a chance of being lagged. Alderman Gums—Your mother dying?—Fuller— Yes; I'm blessed it she urn% dying as fast as she can. God knows the minute she will be oft, Alderman GIBBS—A , nd why do y ou go ro bbi ng p eo pl e in this manner? —Fuller—lt was a mistake to say I robbed; it was another party that picked the gentle man's pocket, and dropped the handkerchief near me. It appeared that Fuller, upon being pursued by the police, dexterously slipped the handkerchief into the pocket of a g entleman who . was passing along, and who a t once disengaged himself of the unwel, ome present, but did not choose to bear a hand in the prosecution. Alderman GIBBS—Your next turn will certainly be at the Old Bailey. Fuller—No, my Lord; when my mot h er goes o ff I expect 4001. or 5 00 /. , and you may depend upon it, I'll set up in an honest business. Ido assure you, my Lord, I'm very anxious to begin.—(Laughter.) Fuller was then sentenced to imprisonment and hard labour for three months; and the other prisoner, who was not sic, clever an artist, was sentenced to imprison ment and hand labour fur six wet ks. LA MB E,7'H. Mr. John Bentall, the proprietor of the Britannia public-house, in the Wandsworth -road, appeared before Mr. Norton, on an information laid against him by order of the Commissioners of Police, and which charged him with keeping his house open on the forenoon of Good Friday, contrary to the tenour of his license. Mr. Child, of the firm of Messrs. Wire end Child, attended for the defendant. In support of the information Inspector Coleman, of the V division of police, deposed, that at twenty minutes to eleven o'clock, on Good Friday, he saw a female come out of a gate which led to the back premises of the de fendant, carrying something under her shawl. He ques tioned her as to what it was she had, and found it to be a stone bottle containing a quart of beer, with which she said she had been supplied by Mr. B ntall. Mr. Child objected to the reception of any statement made by the female, in the absence of Mr. Bentall, as evidence, as it was not legally so. Mr. Noterost admitted that it was not strictly evi dence, and asked if the female was in attendance. Mr. Celetnan replied in ate negative, and went on to say that he entered the house of the defendant, and looked over it, but found no one there except the de fendant and his family. In his cross.exansination by Mr. Child, the Inspector admitted that the gateway from which he had seen the female come led to large premises, in which there were a number of carriages and tither vehicles. as well as t.o the back part of Mr. Bentall's house, but he could not say that there were soy private dwel inge there. Police-constable 77 V was call. d, • and merely corro borated the statement of his inspector. This witness. in reply to the MAGISTRATE, said he knew Mr. Bewail during the time he kt pt the house, and was not aware of any complaint having been made against him pr. viously to the present. Mr. Child could vouch for the fact, that for the six years the (I , feuclant kept the house, the present was the first complaint that had been made. Inspector Coleman said he had not been in the dis trict more than is few months, and during that time the house of the defendant had been most respectably con ducted. He also said he had known Mr. Bentall for some years, and had ample opportunities of witnessing the mariner in which he conducted a public-house, in Spitalfiehis, previously to his removal to Wandsv%orth road, and he telt it but justice to say, that no house could be more respectably kept. Mr. Bentall assured the Magistrate that he had not served any female with beer or anything else on the morning in question, nor had anybody in his house done so to his knowledge. He begged to state, however, that there was a number of persons employed in the coace yard alluded to by the Inspector, and some of those men were in the habit of providing themselves with stone bottles of beer on Saturday night, before his house was closed, for their Sunday morning's supply. Mr. Child hoped that in a case where the evidence adduced was so slight, indeed where there was no evi dence at all, his Worship would consider it to be his duty to dismiss the complaint. I Mr. NORTON admitted that the evidence was slight, and would, therefore, suggest that the defendant put 10s. in the poor box. Mr. Child replied that his client would most willingly comply with his Wership's benevolent suggestion ; but the result would be that it would be taken as a conviction against him, and a regular return of it as such would be made on the licensing day to the licensing magistrates, so that in point of fact Mr. Bente!l would be seriously , way, by having his license sus tended. It w tew days before that he (Mr. en Child)h punisheda n t o e a o an n so t t e hhu n e d rta against the withdrawal of a license, and the ruin of a respectable tradesman, upon similar grounds. Even in cases where costs were merely awarded the returns were made, and the licensing magistrates on this ground alone suspended the license, so that the con sequences were of the must serious importance to the tradesman. In the brat pl ace , th e li g h test comp l a i nt against a licensed house m a d e a vas t difference in its value, in the event of its owner wanting to part with it. In the next place, the parties seeking for the renewal of the license, were obliged to memorialise their worships the licensing magistrates, between the day of suspension and the adjourned licensing day, and this was attended with much expense , besides the trouble and annoyance of thesignatures of the churchwarden, theirover respectable ne i g hb ours ; an d alto gether put a respectable tradesman in a must humiliating seer, procuring and sill position. Mr. NORTON expressed some surprise at the statement of the Learned Genlleinan, and observed that the licen sing magistrates should do the magistrates before whom those cases were brought the justice to believe that, before coming to a deci s i on , t h ey t h oroug hl y .nvesti gated the complaint, and if after doing so, they merely awarded costs, they (the licensing magistrates) shottio conclude that the ease was but slight, and the payment of costs therefore was a sufficient punishment. With respect to the present case, he (Mr. Norton) (lid not think it one which called fur pains or penalties, and should therefore be sorry if h.s suggestion of putting 10s. in the poor-box caused the defendant turther annoy ante. He telt le !tied to believe the word of a respectable man like Mr. Bsntall that he had not served the beer, and should therefore dismiss the case. Mr. Cnild said he was happy to hear his Worship ex i ress himself in so kind and liberal a manner. His sentiments, he hoped, would get publicity, and would, he also hoped, be pFeductive of some good. Gentlemen with legal educations, sitting in police-courts, could scarcely form a judgment of the manner in which corn plaints against licensed victuallers were treated else- where. w The case was then dismissed. THE GLASGOW RIOTERS. GLAsuow ciacutr COURT, MAY 4. James (Nmpbell, hammerman; John Gallagher, la bourer; John Lafferty, porter; David Deans Muir, cot ton-piecer; and John Docherty, lately railway labourer, were placed at the bar to answer fur the part taken by them in the late Glasgow riots. Evidence having been given that the mob on the occa sion hsd f or cibly entered several shops, and carried off money, ammunition, and o th er property in question to a large amount; that Calapbell co ll ec t e d a nd a tt racte d th e rioters to the various potte.s of attack by ringing a bell; that Gallagher was a ringleader, and that the other par ties took more or less share in the disturbance, The jury returned a ver dict of Guilt y of mobbing and rioting against all the pris oners, and of stouthrief against Campbell on three charges, Gallagher on three, Lafferty on two, and Muir on one; but they recommended Muir to the mercy of tlse Court. Sentence was delayed. FRIDAY.—The above prisoners, as well as those who had been convicted on Wedne,day, were brought up, and received severally the following sentences : John Crossan, 18 years transportation ; Hugh Bar rens, Peter Keenan, James CAnapbell, John Gallagher, and John Lafferty, 10 years' transportation ; David Deans Muir, and John Docherty, two years' imprison ment.
