MORNIN MOUNT ARARAT• AN OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE GREAT MAR EARTHQUAKE, DRAWN UP BY JO VOSKOBOINIKOF, OF THE IMPERIAL RUS SIAN ENGINEERS. ITO F rn the St. Petersburgh Gazette.) The earthquake, which changed in a few mo ments the entire aspect of the country in the neigh bourhood of Mount Ararat, commenced on the 20th of June (Russian, or old style), 1840, at about 45 minutes after 6 in the evening. Re peated, but intermittent, shocks, which seemed to come from the mountain, gave to the earth a move ment resembling waves, which continued for about two minutes. The first four and most formidable Shocks, which were accompanied by a subterraneous sound, proceeding in the direction of east-north east, h ave left on the summits of hills and bottoms of valleys within the range of the agitation, traces which will not soon disappear, and which the eye of the scientific observer will recognize after many ages shall nave passed away. It was at the same time observed, that numerous rents or fissures took place on the banks of the Araxes and the Karassu, from the source of the latter to its confluence with the Arpatchai, on all tir e spots where the banks of those rivers are some 'what elevated. These fissures, which were parallel to the course of the streams, ploughed the earth to the distance of a verst from the beds of the rivers, and, in accordance with the movement given to thesoil by the shocks, they were seen every moment to ceien and shut. There also occurred a great number of vio lent explosions from the bottoms of holes like little craters, which opening and shutting in the same Way as fissures, spouted out torrents of water, and cast up immense quantities of pebbles and gravel. The waters of the Araxes were so violently agitated, that they rose over both banks, now causing inun dation, then sinking again into the centre of the bed, which thus appeared concave. According to the accounts of the people of the country, several parts of the river became dry, while at other parts the body of the stream rose to a great height, mak ing a noise like the sound of boiling water. The local authorities took care to verify these facts, which were rel t'el by a number of eye-witnesses, • and several circumstances leave no doubt of the correctness of their statements. At - he end of Au gust there were still to be seen fissures here and I th.re in the bed of the river, which might have absorbed the water, while it might have been thrown up from others. During these awful moments terror and desola tion reigned everywhere to a great distance around Mount Ararat. The Persian town of Maku, and Baiazeth, the chief town of a Turkish Pachalic, also suffered from the earthquake. Its successive shocks convulsed in a few minutes the earth as far as Shusa and Tabris on the one side, and to Tiflis on the other. But its ravages extended chiefly over the Russian territory. The ancient and venerable moan:tient of St. James, and the village of Acorhi, with its 200 houses and 1,000 inhabitants, situated on the sk its t f Mount Masis, at the foot of the Great Ararat,, were entirely destroyed by the im mense masses of rock which were detached from the summit of the mountain, and by the colossal gla ciers accumulated during an incalculable series of flees in that ree , ion of eternal' snow, which those rocks brought with them in their descent. In the cantons of Erivan, Sharur, Nakhichevan, and Orduliat, neatly all the houses have been en tirely destroyed. In Nakhichevan two Armenian churches, fire mosques, 779 houses, and 25 shops were quite ruined. In the district of the same name, including the canton of Ordubat, the num ber of edifices destroyed has been found to amount to 2,436 houses, one church, two mosques, and 17 mills, leaving cut of the account 1,095 houses, nine churches, five mosques, and 15 mills, which were more or less seriously damaged. In the canton of Sharur the earthquake threw down 3,135 houses, and 75 mills. In the same canton, on the left of the river Araxes, where its banks are somewhat `"'avated, vated, land-slips took place, which carried away sc( i veral villages, and the adj o i n i n g corn -fi e ld s . M ost fottunately re catastrophe occurred before sunset, which is doubtless the cause that the number of victims, the inhabitants of Acorhi excepted, was less considerable than might have been expected. With that exception, the number is limited to merely 49 individuals in the two districts of Erivan and Nakhichevan, exclusive of seventeen seriously wounded. The influence of the earthquake on all the wells within the two districts mentioned was very remark able. In tire canton of Nakhichevan upwards of 30 springs were dried up for some time ; some con tinued even several days after the catastrophe to yield only thick and whitish-coloured water ; others, on the contrary, became more abundant than they had - 'l3reviously been ; and in the vicinity of several of the latter new springs made their appearance. Thus the volume of water from the springs of Karassu and Chapan, near the village of Sadarak, is more than double what it was ; and a new current of water, which first issued forth at the time of the earthquake, still flows from a cleft in Mount Gindil. At Karagasanlu, a poor village situate at the confluence of the rivers Arpatchar and Araxes, the earthquake was observed in all its terrific grandeur. Terrified by the' first shock, and stunned by a noise like the rolling of thunder, the inhabitants had no sooner raised their eyes to the summit of the Ararat, and beheld the direction of the detached masses of rock, than a second shock overthrew their clay la's. The whole village disappeared amidst an immense cloud of dust ; at the same time the earth alternately opened and closed around them, and numerous columns of water spouting up in the air from the apertures, threw into the fields sand and pebbles which had been dislodged from the bottom of those frightful guis. The unfortunate inhabitants fled in dismay from the places of their birth. It is dificult to afford any idea of the scene which presented itself in the narrow valley of Acorhi. The was e; of rock, ice, and snow, detached by th? first shock from • the summit of the Ararat and its lateral points, were thrown, at one single bound, from a height of 6,000 feet to the bottom of the valley, where they lay scattered over an extent of seven versts. At first Lot the slightest traces of the monastery or the village were perceptible ; but gradually the snow and Ice began to melt, and the mass of debris, los . ng its adhesion, separated and crumbled away in various directions. A portion was carried down by the slope of the valley as far as the banks of the Karissu, with such rapidity, that h uge masses o f i ce prLserved e .tire and immense fragments of rock, were in the space of a few minutes hurled to a distance of 20 versts from the point where they had fallen. - This happened at nine in the morning of the 24th of June. Torrents of clayey mud, of a whitish colour, issued from the sides of the great macs of debris, which remained immoveable, inun dating and devastating the fields and meadows from that point to the banks of the Karassu. These torrents were so great, that between the mountains bound:ng the valley of Acorhi and the banks of the river the ground was inundated to t he extent of twelve versts in width. The sudden formation of these torrents of mud, and the rapidity of their movement, present an ex traordinary phenomenon. It may be conjectured that masses of compact clay had been formed, apparently by volcanic evaporation, at the summit of Mount Ararkt, on the porphyroide trachytes. These masses, which crushed everything in their descent, were transformed, at the first contact ' with the water produclid by the melted snow and ice, into a muddy matter, which afterwards flowed a long the slope of the valley. Perhaps, too, being carried along by these waters, like other debris, these masses were dissolved whilst the torrent was rolling them towards the plain. Be this as it may, one of these torrents of mud, falling into the Karassu, forced that river to alter its course. A vr.st number of mutilated human dies, frightful evidences of the disaster of Acorhi, were hurled into Cie Karassu ; so that the waters of the river were for a long time unfit for use in cooking or drinking. By the 5W of July these torrents had entirely disappeared; but the valley of Acorhi has assumed quite a new aspect. It has become - broader at its upper part, because the soil is there more elevited than it - formerly was, and the boundary of eternal snow on the Ararat appears lower. Two springs which used formerly to be remarked at a short dis tance from the monastery, now issue from among the debris of th e rock coveting that part of the valley, and indicate the spot where the venerable edifice stood. In the same way w e c an conjecture the situatio n once occupied by a small meadow on the skirts of th e mountain opposite the monastery, which at t ment of the catastrophe was inha- bited by a nomade tribe of thirty families, all of whom perished. The meadow is now covered with a deep stratum of clay. On a piece of ground ex tending from the monastery to the village of A corhi, where formerly were to be seen cultivated fields and gardens, we at present find a labyrinth of hillocks of a conical form, composed of fragments of rock, and covering fragments of glaciers, which, in con sequence of being thus protected against the influ ence of the atmosphere, are not yet melted. These hillocks are furrowed by numerous fissures, and have cavities full of water containing vitriol; they will probably disappear when the ice which they cover shall be dissolved. The stratum of clay where it has buried the village is comparatively inconsiderable. In the hope of finding articles of value, the Curds soon began to explore the ruins. The excavations they have made, to the depth of a sagene, expose to view the rafters of the cottag es still resting on the ruins of these habitations. Here and there some frag ments of the inferior part of the walls remain up right. The interior is everywhere filled with lumps of ice and blocks of rock—a proof that the village was not destroyed by a torrent of debris rolling and sliding down the side of the mountain like an ava lanche, but was crushed by a mass of matter, which having been hurled through space descended per• pendicularly on the spot. After the great concussion, the effects of which were so dreadful, distinctly felt shocks occurred at intervals until the 28th of July ; they afterwards diminished in force, but they did not entirely cease in the district of Sharur until the Ist of Sep tember, and, though very feeble towards the close of that period, they were still accompanied by a slight subterraneous noise. The shocks which occurred in the canton of Nakhichevan, between the 21st and the 28th of June, overthrew the buildings which the first earth quake had shaken. The heaviest shocks which were afterwards observed occurred on the 14th of July. at 3 A M.. in the quarantin of Igdir, and on the 25th of July, at 3 and 10 A.M., arid at 5 p.m., in the caLt)n of Surmalinsk. MR. SNOW HARRIS'S CONDUC TORS. To such of our readers a 3 may be unacquainted with Mr. Harris's plan, it may be Well to exp'ain that it consists of tneta!lic plates inserted nearly half-an-inch in depth into the after part of the coasts, from the truck to the kelson ; the communication being preserved by overlapping parts, connected though not combined. These are intended to convey the electric fluid through the centre of the ship, passing it into the water, by three or four bolts leading through the keel. Now, this arrangement may be all very good, and probably very safe, but our objections to it are mani fold. First, we dislike the principle of inviting the electric fluid into the bcdy of the ship, when it is possible to convey it over the side. Next, as lightning does not suit itself to the size of the vessel, but strikes the small and the great indif ferently with the same force, and the plates are no larger than what are considered capable of conducting the stream in all cases ; it is evident that the smallest mast must be fitted in the same manner as the largest ; and as the topgallant-masts of small vessels are not more than five cr six inches in diameter, it appears to us that they would be greatly injured, and their elasticity totally destroyed, by the insertion of such plates as those proposed, and the nails to secure them. Again, there is the difficulty of effecting any repairs, should a ship be distnasted abroad ; but more than all, the comparative cost between this plan and what we consider as good in all respects, and far better in many —the wire conductor, which passes the fluid over the side—and which has lately been fitted to several ships. There arc various opinions respecting the utility of conductors, some contending that they are injurious, by attracting the fluid, and that more buildings have been destroyed in consequence of their presence than if they were wanting. Others argue, that to be of the greatest use they should be so arranged as to convey the fluid clear of the object ; these last are the common sense folks ; while the philosophers advocate the plan of Mr. Harris, and even propose to pass the plates through the magazine of gunpowder. When Lord Sandwich, of facetious memory, was once asked to de fine the difference between orthodoxy and heterodoxy, he replied, that the first was his dozy, and the last any other mait's Boxy. Now, although upon this matter the report is in favour of the heterodoxites, it is remarkable that the principle so strongly recommended by the Committee has not been put in practice by ship owners, while the simple process of the copper-wire chains being, we suppose, more evident to the under standing, or snore orthodoxical, is fast getting into use, not only in this country but Americo, for we under stand that within the last month nearly twenty vessels at Liverpool have been supplied with the patent rope for this purpose, and several orders taken for the United St rtes navy. Thus it is that useful inventions •make their way, when it requires the aid of Parliamt n tary influence—and the Western Members did exert Ithemselves " or:e and ali"—to cram down a question -1 aoe project. We reeol!eet th-it some years back, when in command of the Actaeon, Captain the Honourable Frederick Grey had his ship fitted with Harris's con ductors ; and this officer, of a highly scientific and in tchigent mind, gave evidence before the Committee in favour of them, yet he has gone to sea in the Endy mion without applying for them, although he was struck by lightning in the Jupiter in 1835, and must there fore have had some reason to alter his opinion. The strange logic was broached in the debate, that because the Committee reported favourably of Mr. Harris's plan it ou t „ht to have been adopted upon every ship fitted, in preference to any other, although it is noto rious that another, in the opinion of many good judges quite as efficacious, exists, and which can be accom plished at about one-tenth the expense. From first to last about sixteen vessels have been fitted with Harris's conductors, and the cost of fitting all in commission would be little less than 30,0001. The Caledonia alone cost upwards of 4001., while the Bri tannia and Howe cost only about 701. each, with the rival conductors. Another somewhat curious insinuation was thrown out by a Noble Lord and Gallant Captain, respecting the probability of political bias displayed in this matter. Dr. Johnson defined a nice man to be a man of tasty ideas, meaning thereby that his mind must be always dwelling upon nasty matters ere he wool I think of smell ing for them. It is the bane of the United Service, that its members who have seats in Parliament allow their political bias to outweigh every other thought,and introduce party or factous feelings into every thing they undertake, and for this reason the honesty of their advocacy being always suspected becomes of little value to their brother ech oe rs. What has the building of ships, or the best mode of protecting them from lightning', to do with Whi g , Tory, or Radical ? yet we find that these con flie ing principles are continually obtruded into debates. Would that we could find a naval officer in Parliament Kith views directed solely to the benefit of his prufes siou, taking his stand in a position to entitle his ex pressed opinions to the support and appliuse of the United Set vice, an interest not to be vltogethcr despised, except in those constituencies where corruption and bribery secure the return of the Members.—Naval and Military Gazette. CHURCH RATES-ST. IVES. On Thursday last, pursuant to public notice, a meeting was held in the parish church of St. Ives, for the object of levying a rate for the repairs, &c. &c., of the church. The Vicar, the Rev. Mr. Foabrook, took the Chair , . and in a s tensed by mildness and propriety, o p ened th e Mr. Osborn, Spee c h businesswhi ch was of t l e , l e i a day.r .. in a few, Words, proposed the rate --seconded by Mr. Manning. Mr. T. D. Paul. then rose and mini proposed the adj ournment of the • cortended that the property q a u ri e s s i t n i g on fr t o o m th t a h t e d c a h y u s r i h :. L o in th e parish, f in fg c cx ie m nt antntodh defray the cur rent if properly emp l o y e d , would be amply did not Establishment ; and th a t as Dissenters cl* participate in any of the advantages arising from th e expenses of the worship of the State religi on , they ought AM the for ms and the ay one farthing of its expenses ; that inse h trot red opi tto be Pca ll ed upon to uliy on of the ` n n Dean," who had • agreed in the • p aa . that the " Church was rotten at its foundation..th e sacred edifice, The Rev. Mr. HOLLAND seconded the amendm n , spee ch replete with argument, sound sense, and lib e era t, lu. and in a that he for one wonder ed that th e Church party, who arroga tedm' said themse l v es wealth and influence, intellectual superiority and to p tronage, should so lo wer themselves as to ask the poor Dissenterta; contribute towards the support of their richly.endowed and bene ficed Establishment. Mr. J. LAWREkCE in a long speeeh supported the Rate, and among other arguments quoted apassage from Scripture—. Render unto Cwsar the things that are Cresar's," which excited much laughter. G. G. DAY, Esq., followed, and in his usual energetic style corn. pletely exposed the fallacy of the attem p t to enforce a Church.rate at the present moment. He asked for the production of the last Rate, wishing to know if it was all collected, and if so how ap plied, but it was not produced. He then 'entered at considerable length into the law of the subject, and showed that the burden of repairing the churches was at first laid, and long continued upon, the tithes. He quoted the judgment of the Queen's Bench in the Braintree case, and said it was unfortunate for Mr. Lawrence to quote the Attorney. General, as that gentleman had given his de cided opinion, that if the majority of the parish refused the rate, no power on earth could compel them to pay it. He called on the meeting to carry out their principles, and to show to the world that the Dissenters of St. Ives knew their rights, and knowing, dare maintain them. . , A show of hands was called for by the Chairman, when r aii im mense majority appeared for the amendment. A poll of the parish was then demanded, which at Four o'Clock was closed, and the decision was as follows : Against the rate For the rate Majority against the rate —sB Thus victory has crowlied the efforts of the independent Dis senters of the town of St. Ives, who have thus publicly expressed to the world their unqualified disapprobation of this unrighteous impost. - - A GENTLEAIAN THIEF.—A young gentleman, with a property of 300/. a year, named William Massey, was convicted at the Wicklow ASSiZe3 for stealing two heifers and a bullock, belonging to W. S. Ireland, Esq., and selling them in Smithfield. He is to be transported. .111141 SUN';' LONDON; MONDAY, MARCH 1, ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT.--READINO, FICIDAY. JONES V. ELLIOTT. This was an action of libel, brought by the plaintiff; a farmer residing at Binfield (the defendant in the action Bolton v. Jones), against the defendant, a gentleman of fortune, formerly residing at Binfield House, and now at Hirst Lodge, in this county. The circumstances of the case were these :—Mr. Jones, the plain tiff; having put Bolton and his family out of possession of the cottage which they rented of him, the woman Went to Mr. Elliott, the de•. fendant, and stated the circumstances to him, He thereupon wrote the alleged libel, upon a sheet of paper, which he handed to the woman, and which was as follows:—" The bearer, Ann Bolton, wife of James Bolton, has been cruelly used by a brutal land. lord, whose own arrears of rent have often exposed him to a prison, if not more mercifully dealt with by those under whom he rented. The compassionate assistance of those more blessed by Providence is prayed." The petition was headed "Pitiable Case of Ann Bolton," and the first name in the list of subscribers was Mrs. Elliott, 10s. With this paper Mrs, Bolton,by the defendant's direc. Lions, went round the neighbourhood, and received various subscrip tions, amongst others from Sir John Conroy, Captain Garth, &c. The plaintiff', having by his attorney required from the defendant a retractation of this libel, or a compensation for the damage occasioned by it, Mr. Elliott, in reply, stated that he had never during the course of his life had occasion to retract or apologise fur one word he ever uttered, or any act he had ever done, and he should not condescend to begin now ; and that he should " rejoice at any course which Mr. Jones might think proper to take which would give greater publicity to the cruel case of Ann Bolton." The action was then com menced. The defendant pleaded ajustification to the whole libel, setting out facts which he said showed that the conduct of the plain tiff' was cruel and brutal, and that he had frequently been in arrears to the defendant as his landlord fur rent, in respect of which he might have been arrested. The bailiff, •who levied the distress at Bolton's cottage, was called for the plaintiff; he swore that he heard Mr. Jones use no harsh or violent language towards the woman, but that she swore at him, and that he had said if she could bring him a pound or two she might remain. That she assi.tcd in carrying some wood into the house, and requested it might be locked up there for safety, and appeared willing to be put out of possession. In answer to a question from the Learned Judge, he stated that it was his usual habit to avoid taking away the goods upon which he distrained, but that the landlord being present, and wishing them taken away in the van, he had followed his li. rections. Mr. Baron GURNEY strongly reprobated t'•e praetice .• • y ing oft' the goods, especially the beds upon which the !i ta were- sleeping when the distress was made, and said he neve heard of such a custom. Mr. WHATELEY, for the defendant, in an eloquent address, contended that the defendant was fully justified in expressing the opinion he had formed of the conduct of the plaintiff, vihich was unnecessarily harsh and cruel. Mr. Sergeant Luncow having replied at great length upon the defendant's case, Mr. Baron GURNEY summed up the evidence, expressing his opinion that it we uld at all events have bee❑ better, if the de fendat,t, though doubtless acting from a generous impulse of the moment, had forborne to express so strong an opinion upon the ex parte statement of Mrs. Bolton. The Jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a verdict far the plaintiff—Damages, 501. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Wm. Hawley, sett. and jun., George Wooldridge, Win. Llandrif, and Win. Llickling, were again brought into Court, to answer a charge of combination and ob struction, preferred by five; men of the same craft, who were prevented from falowing their craft and calling in the Temple Church. A details(' report of the previous inquiry appea►ed in the Sun of last week. Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, and Mr. Flower, the attorney, for the prosecution, and Mr. Phillips, and Mr. liumphteys, the solicitor, for the defendants, again made their appea.ance. The Court, consisting of Sir P. I f aurie (Chairman), Sir C. Marshall, and Alderman Farebrother, met at an early hour, is order that the course of ordinary business should not be deferred. Mr. PhiMips said that the five men for whom he ap peared might or might not have acted contrary to law. The charge against them was that they would not allow other five men (the complainants) to exercise their call ing as masons, required to repair the Temple Church, pursuant to an alleged hiring by a gentleman of the name of Barrett. When he was here last week, he (Mr. Phillips) took a technical objection with regard to the misrepresentation of a name (Barney instead of Bar nabas). Since the last hearing he had availed himself of seeing Mr. Barrett, and represented to him that it was a pity that there should be bickerings between workmen, and pointed out the distress and ruin which would ensue to them and their families, unless some compromise was made. Mr. Barrett thought with him (Mr. Phillips) that it would be better, aid that gentlemen (who was within call) said that he would readly engage the com plaiaantg, and take care that they should not be mo lested by the defendants. On the part of the men com plained against, he (Mr. Phillips) would state they were willing to allow the complainants to work without bt or hindrance, and that he believed was all that the prose cutors could require. Mr. Clarkson—We have been struggling here some time to see whether we were to work or not. My friend Mr. Phillips has made an overture which l'd gladly ac cept, with this appendage attached to it. I require an order, to test the sincerity of the defendants, that the Court will let the warrant stand over for ten days ; and if at the expiration of that term there has been no obstruc tion, I abandon the summons. Mr. Ph lips—The standing (y.er or postponement would not only be expensise but inconvenient to nll parties. Sir PETER LAURIE—We'II try and settle it at once. Who are the complaining parties ? The ejected parties stood forwaril, and by gestures signified that the five defendants prevented them from pursuing their lawful calling on the day named in the summons. Sir PETER LAURIE—I mean to get the consent of the five men complained against to allow the five com plainants to go to work on Monday next. Mr. Carkson again urged that ten days ought to be granted to test the sincer:ty of the defendants. Sir PETER LAURIE—I'II not grant ten days or ten hours : but I'll do this, and take the responsibility on myself. If the master of the works will employ the com plainants, and the defendants obstruct them, let them be brought before me here, at one o'clock on Tuesday, and I will enforce the law to its utmost extent against them. At the same time I wish them to understand each other's interests. It is only from a want of that that these dissensions arise. The Worthy Magistrate said that lie should like to hear what Mr. Barrett had to say. Mr. Phillips—He is here. Mr. Barrett then came forth and denied that he had hired the complainants, and that they were hindered, but le was still willing to employ them. Mr. Phillips—Why keep up the bone of contention ; let the matter be put to a test at once. • Mr. Barrett—l have made up my mind on the sub ject, by virtue of the power vested in me to discharge the whole of the men who have beau hitherto em ployed. - Sir PETER LAURIE—DI adjudicate upon the case. It shall stand till Tuesday ; but I hope and believe that I shall not see them again. Mr. Phillips—This day will cost my clients twenty guineas, and there must be expenses on the other side. Why not let the matter be settled at once—why co me here again on Theaday ? Sir PETER LAURIE—There will be no occasion for an appearance If the defendants do not further interrupt. Mi.. Clarkson—Then let the matter stand thus—if my clients go to work, and have no right to complain, I'd undertake that the matter is at an end. I hope Mr. Barrett will employ the men, and piece them at as great a distance from each other in the Temple church as possible. Sir PETER LAURIE.—NO, no ; let them work tc gether, and depend upon it they will become good friends ; it is separation that causes dissension, but joint operat:on causes a community of feeling. The parties then retired. CHURCH-RATES.—This was a case, which stood by speeialadjournment for bearing on Saturday, pursuant to summonses which had been issued under the statute 53d George 111., cap. 127, entitled "An Act for the better regulation of the Ecclesiastical Courts of Eng land ; and for the more easy recovery of Church-rates." Mr. Teague appeared for the parish, Mr. Edwards for the appellants, viz., Mr. Heath and Mr. Crooks, householders in Fetter-lane, in the parish of St. Dun stan's in the West. Mr. Sloan, one of the Churchwardens of the parish, steted that he had made a demand of 18s. for church rates, of Mr. Crooks and Mr. Heath, and payment was refused. The rate was made as far back as the 12th of June, 1839. By Mr. Edwards.—We have collected part of the rate. The collector having made his demand, I made mice afterward., and produced the resolution of the Vestry, which gave me authority. Sir P. LAURIE wished to know why the rate was objected to as to its validity ? Mr. Edwards considered that certain moneys and es tates had b een l e f t for the proper repa i r o f t h e c h urc h, to other t n a o r y legalg ra n o P t l u a ; n h e e s n o e o c a n e — , l d h P b e u e r c P ni o e a n s e d t eso n contrary as t t clieinnts. the t t e s o t l a tf m l wa e wa n said by th e respectable op posed—" W e have gr g en tlemen to whom he was antel annuities upon the funds you allude to," but that was no answer. Sir PETER L AURIE We must have evidence before we can proceed any further. Mr. Sloan said he was born in the pariah Sears ago, and had had s omet hi ng to do wi h t 59 he went of its affairs durin g t h e l ast four or fiveinanjge• Mr. Edwards (interposin g }-- 1 gave Mr.,,eagu years. no tice to produce certain books, but h e h as not; th e ere fore, I am entitled to give secondary ev id ence. Mr. Teague—Mr. Edwards requires books an d do cuments so f.:r back as 1808. We no t do produce them, and we act under the advice of a learned civilian. Sir PETER. LAURIE thought that the opinion of the most learned doctors could have no weight as the matter at present stood. Sir P. Laurie wished to k now whe tber the appellants went to church, and were seat holders ?—Mr. Churchwarden Sloan—Certainly not, your worship. Mr. Edwards—MY clients are Churchmen in the strict sense o f the word. They do not , however , go to this Church on account of the bickerings there have bees.—(Skame.) Mr. Seeley, a respectable inhabitant said that he understood from what he had heard that the resist ance of payment arose from the notion of a misappro priation of funds. Mr. El wards—Certainly. _ _ Mr. Seeley—Then we have no objection to go to the Ecclesiastical Court, to show how we have disposed of those funds. After some further conversation, the Magistrates (Sir Peter Laurie and Sir Chapman Marshall) confirmed the rate. The case of Mr. Crooks, the other appellai.t, was called on, and the same adjudication made without observation by solicitor on eith er side. Mr. Edwards then gave notice that he shou!d g:va notice to the Magistrates who bad heard the case of his intention to apply to the Court of Queen's thnch (or an order, but would leave the other party to apply to the Spiritual Court, if they thought fit. Here the matter ended for the present. BOW- STREET. LOAN SOCIETIES.—Ia the course of the last geek several persons have applied to the Magistrates of this office for tt.eir advice and assistance under the follow ing circumstances :—They had become surct;es for per sons who hat borrowed money of different loan so cieties, and who had made default in payment of the in stalments due from them ; that in each of their c.:ses an attorney was one of the shareholders of the society, and that when the party borrowing made a defau't in his payments, the attorney, instead of summoning the sureties before a Magistrate, in order to compel them to pay the amount, had commenced proceedings against thorn in the Court of Queen's Bench, thus put - ing them to very considerahl3 and unnecessary expense. This course of proceeding appears to have been adopted in consequence of a decision of the Magistrates at the different Police Courts to compel sureties to pay the amount for which they had undettaken to Lecorne re sponsible only, and not the fines also, which the hos rower may hate incurred according to the rules of the society._ On Saturday, a person, named Thomas Jocer, came before Mr. •Jardine, and stated that he had become surety for a person named Morgan to the Union Joist Stock Loan Society, and that Morgan, who originaly borrowed 15/., had only repaid 6/. 10s. of the money, and Francis Browne (the secretary) summoned him (applicant) before the Magistrates of the above office on the Bth of October last for payment of the Unice 8/. 10s., when Mr. Twyford, before whom the case was heard, dismissed it on the ground that the society itself had not complied with its own rules After this deci sion the applicant did not expect to hear any more of the matter, but on Friday to his surprise, he received a fetter from an attorney, stating that urless he paid the amount in the course of the following week proceedings would be taken against him in the Court of Que. n's Bench, in order to compel him to do so. Mr. JARDINE, in this case, repeated the answer he had previously given ko several similar applicaf cns, viz., that the Loan Societies Act pointed out a specific mode of proceeding against the sureties of persons who were defaulters in their repayments of money borros.el by them from loan societies, and also against their sure ties, by summoning the parties before a Magistrate ; bat at the same, it did not restrain such societies from taking proceedings in the Court of Queen's Bench, or any of the superior Courts at Westminster, to recover the amount due to them. He (Mr. Jardine) was, how. ever, of opinion that such societies were not legally justified in instituting proceedings in one of the higher Courts for that purpose, but he would not take upon himself to decide upon a question of such importance, and would recommend the applicant to consult some re spectable solicitor on the subject.—lt appears that the 17th clause of the Loan Societies Act, 2 and 4 Vic toria, eh. 10, enacts that—" The treasurer or cl.!rk of the society for the time being may proceed for the recovery of the 'sum dae on such note against the party or parties liable to pay the same in any County Court or Court of Conscience or Request, having ju risdiction to the amount so due, according to the course and practice of such Courts." The only clause in the Act which alludes at all to the Superior Courts is the 16th, which, after directing that the societies shell summon defaulters before a Magistrate, and directing the Magistrate to issue execution against their gcods in default of payment, stated, as if the intention of the framers of the Act was ttrat no proceedings shoeld be taken against them in the Superior Courts, ."fhat no such proceedicgs (before such Magistrates) shall be removed by certiorari or otherwise into any of her Majesty's Superior Courts of Record." Toe question is one that has excited great iuterest among the class of persons peculiarly affected by it, and the decision respet ting it is anxiously looked forward to. EMBEZZLEMENT.---A lad in the employ of Mr. W. H. Smith, newsvender in the Strand, was committed to Nevvgate for trial, for embezzling 3/. .se. 102., re ceived by him on account of his master. after he (complainant) said that his desk had been I opened, and six sovereigns stolen. They had break fasted together the same morning, yet the prisoner did not say one word about his having been robbed. The prisoner afterwards said that he had the diamond brooch given him the night before it was st, len from him. The bed-room and also the sitting-room which they occupied were also open, and the landlord and landlady and the three servants had access to them when they thooght proper. Sergeant Aylesbury, of the L division, stated that when the prisoner was given into his custody, he said that the diamond brooch, of which he had been robbed, was given to him by a lady at Wandsworth to have re paired. Witness asked him where the lady lived, and offered to accompany him to the house to ascertain the truth of his assertion, but he refused to tell him where she lived, or to give him any information on the subject. Mr. TRAIL asked the prisoner whether be wished to say any thing to the charge? The prisoner declared that he was perfectly innocent of the charge, and that he anew nothing whatever about the stolen money. He soid that he had lost three sovereigns and a diamond brooch at the lodgings, but that he would be very sorry to a...Tuse any person, as he did not know upon whom suspicion rested, as their apartments were open t-a all persons in the house. Mr. TRAIL asked the prisoner from whom he had the diamond brooch, but he refused to disclose . the name of tiie lady, or even to give the place of her abode, as he had a strong objection that it should be even sup posed he was suspected of felony. Mr. Trail told him that the inquiry could be made without any communica tion of the kind being made to the lady ; but the pri soner still refused to agree to the suggestion, and as there was no further evidence to adduce, the Magistrate said that he considered there was so much suspicion at tached to the case, that he should call upon the ac• cused to find surctes to appear at the Court on a future day to answer the charge. The prisoner not being prepared with the requisite sureties, was sent to the county gaol, Q UEEN. SQ UARE. James Clough, b 8 B, Milieuit Prince, 183 B, George Howel, 193 B, and Stephen Burr, 119 B, four of tie Mctropol tan Police, were placel at the bar, ch,irged with having violently assaulted John Twornay, 37 B. Mr. ThirefoOt,an inspector of the di v i s i on V ) w hi c h the men bchn. 6 ei, condue!el the inquiry, which had Leen directed by the Commissioners of Police. Complainant, whose head gas bound up, and whose general appearance betokened a full half-hour's sharp contest with such an artiste as Torn Spring, stivel that. he came off duly at seven o'clock on the morning of Tuesday the 23d, and in a few minutes aftorwards went into the Stags public-house, in the Fulham-road, 'with the defendants, who had also just been relc.i ed from night duty. At Burr's solicitation complainant tossed him for a quartern of gin, which complainant won, but beer was t rdereJ in mistake. Burr then challenged him to toss for another quartern, which he lid and wan again, but Burr refused to pay, asserting that the toss was not lair, and complainant refused ti toss any more. Defendant Clough then chalenged him to toss, which he refused to do, when he (Clough) seized the beer and swore that complainant should have none of it, to which he replied that he did not care, as be had not got to pay for it. Clough then toll him that if he did not toss he would knock his - I ris h had off. Complainant told him that he hal bean. let that atone, when on a sudden he came up and struck him on the eye, and Prince and Burr immediately " pitched into him," and he was forced into a corner near ti:e door. Howel also got hold of him, and called our, " Give it to the d d Irish " Complakaat was compelled to hold his head down, and he imme diately received a violent blow on the side of the h,ad w.th some hard substance, which he supposed to have been a quart pot. A deep wound, about three inel.ei long, was inflicted, from which he bled profusely. John Cottrell, 177 B, was present when the matter occurred. Complainant made his escape and went to the watch house, where he repot tad what had occurred. Mr. Shuter, jun , a solicitor, attended for tl.e de fendants, and proceeded to cross-examine the com plainant at some length. Complainant said he was sober at the time, and he was sure he was not drunk. He admitted having re ported Clough and Burr that night for being in a pub lic.bouse while on duty. He denied having cut his head, by falling against the bar at the pubic-house. John Cottcre!, 177 B, stated that he was in the Stags public-house when the affray took place, the whole of which originated in the complainant, who, on entering the boast., challenged to toss any of them for beer, and having won a pot how Burr, seiz,d it, and said no ono should have any of it. Words ensued, and Clough interfering, the complainant made a grab" at him, and wi , ness, fearing a row, left the bar, followed by Burr, who, he could swear, never touched the coal. phinant, and who from the first appeared to be far gone in liquor. Sergeant Tringham, B, stated that he released the complainant f rom , t i ta e rt v -tewiniautes past six on Tuesday morning, and he appeared then to be perfectly sober. Complainant had about two o'clock on that morning reported Burr and Clough as having hen drinking at the Hope and Anchor whilst on duty. The witness felt it his duty to make proper inquiries on this subject, which he did, and found the report of corn- Wainant to be fal,e. He then told complainant thr.t he must report him for making a false charge, but he b gged him not, as it would bring b m into disgrace with his friends. Sergeant Thatcher, 17 B, said that complainant came to him bleeding profusely on Tuesday morning. He certainly appeared to have been drinking a great deal. Defendants denied having struck the complainant. He came in and quarrelled with them, as had bec, stated by the witnesses. Mr. BURRELL said that &though it was evident that the complainant had been much injured, yet there was no evidence to show by whom. The defendant; must, therefore, be discharged, as the testimony of the a it nestics did not agree with that of the complainant, who by their stAement . was evidently under the influence of liquor. UNION-HA LL, Edward Willis, a medical student, was brought be fore Mr. Trail, charge] on suspicion with breaking open the writing desk of Mr. Henry Lambert, another fellow student, and welling 44 sovereigns. Mr. Lambert stated, that he and the prisoner, who were fellow student', occupied lodgings at No. 47, in the York-read, Lsnribi th, and slept in a double-ißtddcd room. On Wednesday last, complainant discovered t six sovereigns had been taken out of his writing desk, which was in the sitting room, and he mentioned ti.e "fact to the prisoner, who on bring apprised of the cir cumstance, said that he had also bparcobbed of a dia mood brooch and three soveraigninfrconsequence of the robbery the complainant tooklilis,:ibriting-desk up stairs to his bed-room for safety, and he then went out, and returned at seven o'clock, when, on examining the desk, he at once observed that it had been foree,l open, and discovered that 38 sovereigns had been abstracted. The complainant added, that he and the prisoner took the lodgings, and that the latter did not abscond. In epiyT o Mr. TRAIL, the compla , nant said that ; I .e prisoner did not complim to him that he had been robbed of three sovereigns and a diamond brooch until PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIO N.
