But we have no ip tl sYmpathies, we detest and abhor the borough to Bering system, no matter in what hands the pa qia.p of t h ose boroughs may be placed. It i s a ! i i ' ling of the people's rights ; it is in direct op- S e , l° ll to the spirit of the Constitution. (Cheers.) S oli Sret that a re spectable clergyman, the Rev. Dr. `O ll , was one of the persons who spoke of secu llat that meeting. It was supposed at the pc ,tr,(4 the l as t vaca ncy in the Catholic Arch-diocese lishel, that Dr. Collins would be raised to the i' ft tl 'tY, and one of the first Prelates in Ireland, ti tti ta ble in age, and highly regarded for his I is and piety, sent me a document in the ttid t + piety, of Dr. Collins, protesting against 4 it .s or a ny s p ec i es of arrangemen t s !neon -1104 with the security and dignity of the Ca \ le faith. I n I re l an d he was decidedly against : 1 4 166 es—in England lie has no objection to them ; kl 4 l,Ply regret that this gentleman, for whom per itttliiY I ente r tain the highest respect, should act a 1, 4 so inconsistent with himself. The line of con ',t4 Pursued at the last meeting of the English Ca :q,t'es, has raised the most painful feelings in my t 1 :1 for it l eaves no alternative but a separation .. 1( 1 : t hem. Can it he said that I have been the ‘.,:e of that separation ? No. During twenty-five ;;. s „ that I have attended public meetings, the very ,'''ou of securities has ever been scouted. How jlti l ve admit the necessity of securities, when we t, i t the p oss ibility of danger. (Load cheers.) The i " ° ,lia, the priests of the second order, and the kl a[td recorded their decided disapprobation of jihad deelaring that nothing less than unconditional NZeiPation would be sought for or accepted by V: Therefore, the English Catholics were aware i the introduction of the subject of securities by 0 1 , could not meet with our approval. (Hear.) a te ti not remind this meeting that when it was ru - I bt ed that an arrangement regarding securities was I, 4 , l‘ ' .l. °crress, Mr. Lawless gave notice of a motion for ';y*'e '' r declamation against them, and it was only on I li vi terf erence t h a t he consented to dispense with , t r'e should not be the first to meet the subject; ott4Q e common liar, public rumour, was no ground , ‘t Which we should act. Such, however, is not 11 , 1 %5e at present, but the fault is not ours. The 4 1 ', i sil Catholics have spoken of securities, and i tt sti they knew my sentiments respecting them. li t l t e4ponded with the Catholic Peers, and decried, ti, rl .4 e strongest terms, the agitation of any arrange- Lt for the settlement of our question. I must, ti tt erer, d o Lord Clifford the justice to say, that his il,? Was in accordance with my best wishes ; but 4i . . t he subject has been broached, and that the apple t.,1, 3 t0rd has been thrown amongst us , one course 1 1 : 13 left to us, and that is, to condemn the intro lOon of securities, as we have done heretofore. S ar e no d ou bt whatever, that a sufficient number il C atholics will be found in England, to form an :::eiation in communion with us, having at its , It tl pie Earl of Shrewsbury, if die Duke of Nor kl', thought proper to retire from that high station. ; 4 `, ‘ Wheth er or not, such an association can be c„Tatt; there is but one course left for the adop ‘4 of the people of Ireland. I, myself, may be \4 l i. l .ted with c onsenting to the measures called the nl gs," in 1825. I know that i deserve the re proach, and I answer to those who assail me, that the only way in which I can atone for that error is, by a firm and determined oppo,ition to any encroach ments hereafter. I may be permitted to say a few words regarding the motives which influenced me on that occasion. It was represented to me that by acceding to the measures then proposed, that eman cipation certainly would be carried, but that it wou'a as certainly be lost if these measures were not agreed to. One of them was the disfranchise ment of the 40s. freeholders, and whatever may be the merits of that question, it had no connection whatever with religion,and my political opi n i on was given upon it as a public man. Much has been said regarding the forty-shilling freeholders prier to 1825, that they were the mere instruments of their land lords, and treated as the live stock on their estates. I, myself, was assessor in the year 1813, when Sir Augustine Fitzgerald was a candidate for the representation of Clare. The Honourable Baronet then spoke of the necessity of emancipation, and expressed his solicitude for its attainment ; he is now however, the head of the Brunswickers in that county. (Hear, hear, hear.) Let me state in addition, that in 1792, when the republican spirit which had burst forth in France, fomented by the Presbyte rians, was spreading itself among the Catholics of Ireland, the Government found it prudent to adopt some measure of conciliation. At that period John Keogh, whose name will live in the records of his country, and whose powerful mind enabled him to form as correct an estimate of human nature as any other man in existence, expressed his opinion regarding the limitation of the elective fanchise best adapted to the peculiar circumstances of the coun try. When it was proposed to render Catholics eli gible to become forty-shilling freeholders, he expressed his decided disapprobation of such an arrangement, and strongly recommended that 10/. should be the the an or erca__, _ minimum. It was said by the r a a other Ossin g e oupportera of the Bill, that Mr. Keogh and those who agreed with him, desired to make the electors independent, and as that was the case, they insisted successfully that 40s. should be the sum. It was not until 1825 that the 40s. freeholdersraised themselves from the degraded state bordering on that of serfs and vassals. (Hear.) For centuries, the Catholics of Ireland had been prevented by the law from receiving education, and those who denied them the means of obtaining it, were the first to turn round and upbraid them for their ignorance.— But how different is the case at present. There is scarcely a parish throughout the country in which a school is not established, and it is not in Feacle alone in which my friend near me has his chapel and his school-house, that the poor children are educa ted as well in their religion as in the necessary branches of science. The smoking-clubs have been abandoned, and those who formerly contributed their penny a-week towards the indulgence of the grosser appetites, now devote the little means they can afford to the obtaining of literary instruction, and newspapers are read with avidity by persons who before assembled for mere animal enjoyment. In 1825 the seed was sown, but the leaf did not appear. (Hear.) At that time, fully impressed with the con viction that the cause of Ireland's impoverishment and distraction was to be found in the division of her sons, and that no good measure could be adopted for the country, whilst unequal laws prevailed; whilst a monopoly was preserved for a few, who, like Swiss soldiers, fought for their pay, no matter how dirty the work in which they were to engage I say, feeling such to be the case, and having for the first wish of my heart to unite the people of Ireland in a combined effort for the regeneration of the country, I did consent to the disfranchisement of the 40s. freeholders. It would be no comfort to me now, and I desire no such excuse for my error as to what would have been said in England in case of my refusal. It would be alleged that I would give up nothing for conciliation, and, agitator as I was, that I wanted to bully and trample upon the people of England ; the opinion of John Keogh would be quoted against me ; the perfidy of the landlords, and the abjoct slavery of their tenants, would be thrown in my teeth, and it would be said that we, who kept the country in a state of agitation, under the pretence of seeking for emancipation, would not consent to give up what Keogh had tisinounced to be worthless, and even injurious. I am afraid that many Catholics who now condemn me for ac ceding to the wings, would have joined in censur ing me, if I had not • complied. It would be said that we were upon the threshold of the con stitution, but that I drove them from the precincts of the temple. I have not come here to vindicate myself, because I feel that no vindication is neces sary.—(Tremendous cheering.)--My only • wish, when mingling in the struggles of my countrymen, is to be useful in advancing their cause; and if such were not my object, I should from that mo ment disappear from amongst them.—(Cheers.) — Personal ambition I have none, and I am not egotistic when I avow that, in the advocacy of the cause of Ireland, I have been single-hearted and disinterested. And here I thank my God, that I am the inventor of the Catholic Rent, and if that mighty engine did not exist, the despotic landlords would never have been set at defiance, and the bigot never driven from the representation. As I have stated, infor mation is now widely disseminated amongst the people. We have most excellent newspapers— the best and th e worst p ress i n th e wor ld. O ne portion of it lies by the yard; and, such is the corruption engendered by a vile faction, that those lies against our creed are invented by crea tures who had been Catholics. Honest Protestants could not be had to effect the scandalous purpose, and the faction have been obliged to bring in renegade Papists as the instruments of their unnatural ascend ancy. Sooner than give up the forty-shilling free holders, I would rather go back to the penal code; they form part of the Constitution ; their right is as sacred as the King to his throne, and it would be treason against the people to attempt to disfranchise them.--(Hear, hear, hear.)—l am l o y a l t o t h e throne, and my dispositions and my interest combine to produce in my mind an attachment to the ruling powers; but if an attempt were made to take from the forty-shilling freeholders the privileges vested in them by the Constitution, I would conceive it just to resist that attempt with force, and in such resistance I would be ready to perish in the field or on the scaffold. (Loud cheers.) Every Pro testant —every friend to liberty, would be equally interested in that struggle. (Loud cheers.) It ' gratifies me to hear one of my Protestant friends join in that cheer, which came from as great and honest a heart as ever throbbed for the freedom of Ireland. In such a struggle Protestant would join with Catholic, and that excellent open-hearted and patriotic Nobleman, Lord Cloncurry, would be in the front of the battle. (Loud cheering.) Another subject was the pensioning of the clergy, and I may mention as an instance of the patriotism of the cleri cal order, that, instead of the clergy consenting to the arrangement, those who represented them in the deputation, only acceded to it at our request. For the accuracy of this statement, I appeal to the pub lished statements of Dr. Doyle. In patriotism, the clergy do not lead, but follo w us ; i n common w i t h us, they have political rights, and they would be un grateful to the people from wh om t h ey d er i ve t h e i r support, if they did not give the aid o f t h e i r ta l ents their influence , and their virtues, in order to ra i se t h at people from the degradation in which unjust laws have placed them, (Hear.) Sir, on the occasion of that arrangement, no power of nomination wh a te ver , di rectly or indirectly , was intended to be given to the servants of the. Crown, regarding the appointment of a Catholic bishop . or. clergyman. The terms were drawn up in writing by myself, and I can produce them at a fitting opportunity. The bishops were to be nominated without a veto in the c rown , and the on l y s tip u lation respecting them was their remuneration from the state, excepting stvha by the t are i called stol e f ees . I have now shown measures called the wings, nothing in the slightest degree inconsistent with our religion was conceded; and on this subject I, shall be able to meet the taunts of the dabblers in securities.—(Hear, hear, hear.)—l was promised a paternal government for Ireland—one under which the people might be amalgamated, because the light of official patron age would not shine on the Brunswick faction alone.—(Hear, hear.)—l was led to expect that period when talent, acquirements, and industry, should-have their due influence ; when rancorous politics should not be the criterion for office, an d when bigotry and intolerance, which wither under the rays of the sun of justice, like some foul spirit, should vanish and be seen no more. (Cheers.) But the pensioning of the clergy is now an idle dream ; it would require an annual sum of 600,0001., against tile granting of which the people of England are as adverse as we are to its acceptance, so that an ar rangement of this kind is out of the question. It then remains to be seen whether they will propose something like the concordatum in the Netherlands, which worked ill there, and which would not have a better effect here. I have now to mention a fact of great importance to the people of this country-- up to the 26th of October, the Government of Eng land have made no less than three applications to the Pope for a concordatum. (Hear, hear.) The application was not made directly, for the law of premunire prtvented it ; but it was done as effectu ally by the Hanoverian Ambassador resident at Rome. (Hear.) Three successive applications were made to the Pope, and I am now authorised to state the answer of his Holiness. It was couched in terms of kindness and friendship towards the British Go vernment, but it ended with an emphatic declara tion, that until the Catholics of Ireland were eman cipated, no treaty on the subject would be received at Rome. (Immense cheering.) The Catholics of Ireland will join with me in praying for the blessing of Almighty God on his Holiness for this declara tion; he is the father of the Catholic church; he will not enter into any arrangement regarding the government of the church in this country, until the frperin'n of tho Cathonve is establixbod, and his answer to the British Government is the best reply and admonition which I can offer to the Duke of Norfolk, and the security-men in England. I have the honour of having one grandchild, and if emancipation were to be had only by securities, the j utmost I could expect would be, that that grand child would be a grandfather by the time of its ac complishment. As lam one of those who ardently desire to be present at the festival to celebrate that happy event, I am the firm and determined foe of securities. (Hear, hear.) I do not reject securi ties from any hostility to my Protestant brethren, because I have never entertained towards them any feelings but those of affection and attach ment. (Hear.) lam ready to give real securities, those which should make the throne safe and the em pire secure, by enlisting in support of its dignity and well-being, the affectionate solicitudes of the people. In my place in Parliament, to which I haye been elected by the unbou g ht su ff rages o f an i n d epen d ent constituency, and which nothing but gross injustice can exclude me from, if any tangible proposition is offered for quieting the apprehensions of the most susceptible of my Protestant countrymen, there is not one amongst them who will be more ready to argue the question with calmness and 'Consideration than myself. But I would scorn to enter into any bargain or base traffic in order to get what I am justly entitled to receive. (Hear.) This is my view of the subject, and I feel that I would merit the contempt of every honest Protestant, if it were different. The English Catholics have most un necessarily introduced the question of securities, and they are endeavouring to divert us from our course. I have often been assailed with the charge that our proceedings were intemperate, but these aspersions have the same effect upon me as the barking of a cur dog at the stars on a frosty night. These kind friends would say—" How can you he so intemperate ?" The Board was condemned, the Committee was condemned, the Association was condemned; but when the Rent was established, we were as sailed from all quarters, and our Parliamentary friends cried out that we were establishing a rival treasury in opposition to the treasury, and in opposi tion to the government ; and after all these asper sions, here am I who established that rent which is now in active collection, and which, please God shall so continue, while there is any necessity for it.— (Hear, hear.) The English Catholics were the most temperate and timid creatures in the world, but what have they got by all their forbearance ? They have not been able, with all their forbearance, to obtain the same privileges as their Catholic brethren. If they endeavour to prejudice the cause of parlia mentary reform, and if their great men lead their ducal coronets to protract the accomplishment of our cause, we must disclaim them : but we must render the just met d of gratitude to Eneas Mac dolmen, who echoed our sentiments; and I move that the marked thanks of the Association be trans mitted to that gentleman, for his intrepid avowal of our feelings arid opinions at the last meeting of the English Catholic Association. (Loud cheers.) Mr. L'EsTuittscr. agreed as to every thing that was said, expressive of the thanks of the Catholic body to Mr. M'Donnell, for his late conduct, and their perfect confidence in his discretion and inte grity. (Hear.) In allusion to what had been said relative " wings," he (Mr. L'Estrange) would say that one of them was for the consideration of the laity, and to the laity he would leave it. He fancied lie fully understood the feelings of the laity, and he was mistaken, indeed, if that wing was not execrated by them from one extremity of the king dom to the other. (Loud cheers.) As to the clerical wing he would speak authoritatively, with out pretending to any commission so to do. He had no hesitation in declaring that it would be rejected by the whole body of the Clergy, with one heart and with one voice. (Tremendous cheering.) This, he said, would speedily appear, for a requisition was in process of signatures, and a meeting would soon be held ; at which the ecclesiastical body of the. Ca tholics would declare their sentiments on this im portant subject, as became their sacred character, and that patriotism of which every new day afforded ad ditional evidence. Mr. LAWLOR, Mr. BRADY, and Mr. O'GOR3P.N MAttoN, severally addressed the meeting—some ex pressions which fell from the latter gentleman hav ing occasioned some demonstrations of feeling, Mr. O'Connell stood up to remove impression they seemed to have made, which O'Gorman Mahon, in a few words, spoke in explasiation, completely suc ceeded in doing, while Mr. O'Connell's resolution was put, that the marked thanks of this meeting be given to Mr. Eneas Macdonnell, the agent of the people of Ireland, for the able, manly, and uncom promising manner in which he has asserted the unanimous sentiments of the Catholic Association of Ireland. An adjournment was then moved, when the meet ing separated. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Your insertion of the following particulars relative to the two unfortunate individuals who were suffocated at the fire which took place in Covent garden theatre on Tuesday last will essentially serve the cause of charity, which, I am convinced, will be a sufficient excuse for my troubling you on the sub ject. Any ay subsplacecription a h c d h s the o r c humanity e o a f t t t r e box-office of the theatre, shall be duly appropriated, and an account thereof open for inspection at the latter place at all times. William Douglas, a perso n of the utmost integrity, and a most valuable servant, has been employed in the theatre about seven years. H e has left entirely depending upon him for support an aged mother, a wife, now pregnant, and three young c hild ren , the eldest of whom is imbecile. Richard Fennell, a very respectable man, employ ed occasionally for two off; three years, has left a widow, now pregnant, and three children, entirely dependent upon him for support. 1 am, Sir, your very obedient servant, HENRY ROBERTSON. Theatre Royal, Covent garden, Nov. 20, MS. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Henry Gunter, a young man who was recently employed at Apothecary's-hall, and was taken be fore the LoRD MAYOR last week on suspicion of being concerned in the late extensive robbery at that establishment, was yesterday charged before Mr. Alderman FAREBROTRER with assaulting Mr. Hen nell, the head operator at the Hall, and other persons. The prisoner's solicitor asked whether the prisoner did not come for the purpose of applying to be rein stated in his situation, or to have such a ch arac t er a s would enable him to obtain a place elsewhere ? Mr. Hennell said he did not, but began with abusing, threatening, and assaulting them. Mr. Field, the treasurer, said he could not have had such an intention, because he knew that the committee had decided the day before that lie should not bedilinstated. Solicitor—Was he not a little intoxicatoil ? Mr. Field--I believe he was. Solicitor —This young man, who has decent con nexions and has lately been married, feels some irri tation at being turned away, but he is extremely sorry for what he has done, and promises not to go near the Hall again. I have been speaking with the gentlemen. Alderman FAREBROTITER--If the gentlemen are satisfied with an apology, I will not object. Neither Mr. Hennell nor Mr. Field appearing satis fied, the Alderman directed the constable to be sworn. The Solicitor asked him if he saw the assault ? The officer answered that be had not. Then, said the Solicitor, you have done wrong. You title liable to an action for taking charge, when you did not see the peace broken. After some conversation among the parties, the defendant .entered into his own renogni7ance in 100/. to keep the peace to all his Majesty's subjects for one year. DAY v. DAY.--In this case, Mr. Ephraim Thy, a young married man, appeared upon summons to answer the complaint of his wife, Sarah. " Now Mrs. Day," said the Magistrate (Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER), " what have you to say against your husband ?" Mrs. Day, a very neat little body, replied—" Why, Sir, I have to say that I can't live with him, on ac count of his ill usage." " Well, but you must be a little less general in your complaint," said the ALDERMAN ; " the sum mons you have obtained charges him with having assaulted you on Monday last. Confine yourself to that, if you please, and let us know how it happened." " Why, Sir," replied Mrs. Day, " on Monday I was going to see my sister, when he came running after me like a tiger, and catched me just at the cor ner of Bunhill-row, and ' You hussey !' says he, ' if you don't turn back and go home directly, I'll kick you every inch of the way there !'—which it was more Man half a mile, your Worship ! !" " And did he kick you ?" asked the ALDERMAN. " No, Sir, lie did not," replied Mrs. Day ; " for I said to him—' No, you won't, Ephraim,' says I; and of course, as my sister was with me, she would'nt let him do that." " Then what did he do ?" asked the ALDERMAN. " Why, Sir, as I wouldn't go home with him, he came to my sister's after me ; and, tho' we were sitting at tea quite comfortable, he laid hold of me and pulled me all round the room." Which pul ling, by Mrs. Day's description of it, seemed to be something after the fashion of a rough waltz ; for as he twirled her towards the door, she twirled him away from it; but how the waltz ended (lid not ap pear in evidence. This obligato matrimonial waltz was the assault complained of; and the Magistrate asked Mr. Day what he had to say to it ? " A great deal," replied Mr. Day ; and thereupon he did say a great deal more than had anything to do with the matter immediately in hand—viz. the rough obligato waltz—which indeed he never al luded to at all. In the first place he said his wife's sister was a bad adviser ;"—secondly, that he had " ordered" his wife not to keep company with her; —thirdly, that she did keep company with her not withstanding—thereby breaking that part of her matrimonial contract in which she contracted to " love, honour, and obey ;"—fintrthly, that when he came home to eat his meals, there was no meal for him to eat—(save and except, perhaps, a little un cook'd oatmeal);—fifthly, that, upon one occa sion, he missed his best carpet and his only child ; and that, upon his searching for them, he found them at his wife's sister's ;—sixthly, that when he brought the child and the carpet home again, he had great trouble in putting the child to bed, in consequence of his not being able to find a night-cap ;—seventh)y, that after rummaging for a night-cap until he was tired, lie was under the disagreeable necessity of putting the child to bed " as well as he could ;"—eighthly, that his wife did not sleep at home that night ; —ninthly, that he was greatly troubled in his mind, and could scarcely sleep a wink' all that night—not so much on ac count of the absence of his wife, as from vexation at not having been able to find a night-cap ;—tenthly, that his wife had eventually stripped the house of 751. cash, and of almost every thing else it contained; —eleventhly, that he was the more astonished at her conduct because he, himself, was " as good a husband as any lady need wish to have !" " Now since you come to that, Ephraim Day s " said his wife, who had let him go rambling on with his de fence until he came to the last-named article, therein " now since you come to that," said she, " I'll tell all about it ! Your Worship, Mr. Day is not what he looks to be; for he has got a young woman, at Margate, that writes love-letters to him ! I opened one of 'em myself, and found it all out ; and what's more, though his name is Ephraim Day, he corre sponds with her by the name of .Tames Knight !" "Oh day and night ! but this is wondrous strange 1" cried Horatio, when he heard the ghostly " Majesty of buried Denmark in the cellarage ;" and Oh Day and Knight !" thought Mrs. Day when she opened the Margate letter aforesaid, " there must be something wrong in this !" and so she took to being jealous ; and so every thing went wrong. " Lbw is this, Sir?" said the MAGISTRATE: to Mr. Day. Mr. Day attempted to explain smilingly—" Why the fact is," said he, " 1 met with a young woman at Bartholomew fair, and she said to me, where are you going ?' said she, ' I am going a little bit of a walk,' said I. So am I,' said she; and the fact is, I merely passed half au hour with the young woman, and as she was going to Margate, she asked me whether she might not write to me ; and then she asked me my name, and, as my name was Day, I told her it was Night ; and that was all." " Oh, Ephraim, you wretch !" said Mrs. Day— " how can you say that was all, when you know you supped with her upon roast fowls and pickled pork the very night she went off to Margate !" Mr. Day had not a word to say in contradiction of the roast fowls and pickled pork ; and, it being proved that he repeatedly assaulted his wife, even when she was enceinte, he was ordered to find bail to keep the peace, and, not being prepared there with, Mr. Day was locked up for the night. ITATTON-GARDEN. Frederick Cole, a hackney-coach driver, was yes terday finally examined before Mr. Sergeant S EL LON, on a charge of feloniously stabbing George Baker, a watchman, at the Coach and Horses public-house, Holborn, on the morning of the 14th inst.

The attention of the parish authorities of St. ' 8 ; Hanover-square , has at length been awakened to the filthy and dis grace f u l nu i sance t ° lla er h ge a has been for several weeks past suffered to exist in that part of Piccadilly, near Hyde-park-corner, arising from the overflowings of the carts employed, on the part of the Chelsea Water-works Company, in removing some thousand , : of tuns of abominable stagnant mud and other Ebb that ha; been suffered to accumulate in the basin in the Green-park, from there across Piccadilly, and into Hyde-park, where they are depositing it in the open sand-pits. Lord Lowther having refused permission to suffer this stuff, as the parties wished, to be strewed over the surface of the Green-park itself, to suffocate with stench the whole neighbourhood. Yesterday no less than 28 informations, preferred by Medbury, the inspector of nuisances for Sr. George's parish, against the carters employed in the removal of this filth, came on to be heard before Sir GEORGE FARRANT and Mr. DYER, the Magistrates, and the offence having been clearly established against the first ten of the defendants, whose cases were gone into, they were convicted in n penalty of 40s. each, making in the whole 20/., which was im mediately paid by Mr. Stanisby, the employer of the defendants, and the contractor with the Chslcea Company, to clear out the sink for them, and re move its contents to Hyde-park. The remaining 18 informations were, with the consent of the parish, ordered to be quashed, on the promise of Mr. Stanisby and Mr. Simpson, the secretary to the Chelsea Water Company, that no repetition of the offence shall in future be suffered to take place. Medbury said, that owing to the quantity of this offensive and adhesive stuff that had been poured upon that part of the Piccadilly road, the Macadam ized pavement is entirely rooted up and destroyed, to an extent that 200/. would not repair. It is from this basin in the Green-park, the depository of this abominable filth, one of the reservoirs of the Chel sea Water-works' Company, that the surrounding neighbourhood has for years been supplied with water for all household purposes. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Mr. HONE, the sitting magistrate, was occupied from one o'clock to six in the afternoon, in the investigation of serious charges against Mr. Jones, a coal-merchant, residing in Prince's-street, Commer cial-road. The cases in this instance differed from those recently heard at this office, inasmuch as the former related to bribes given by the defendants to labouring coal-meters, for yielding to certain irregu larities; the present charges were for sending out sacks deficient in measure. The summons issued against the defendant having been read, he pleaded " not guilty." Mr. Tourquand, one of the principal land coal meters, who has been indefatigable, since his ap pointment, in discovering the abuses in the coal trade, stated, that on the 4th inst., in passing along near the Stags, at Lambeth, he observed a coal porter bring out an empty sack from a house, which he threw on the ground. Witness said the sack was short of the usual dimensions, upon which the porter said that he had nothing to do with it. Witness then procured a measure, with which he ascertained the sack was deficient in length; and on subse quently measuring more that were in the cart, he ' discovered that 1 I were short of the proper dimen sions. Witness then directed the individual, at whose house the coal was in the course of delivery, to put the fraudulent sacks on one side, first having marked each of them, in order to distinguish them. The sacks were afterwards removed to the Principal Coal-meter's Office, and are the same now produced. Witness called at the defendant's wharf on the 6th, upon which occasion the latter called him aside, and entreated that lie would not take any farther notice of the matter, in reply to which witness expressed his determination to bring the matter before the Ma gistrates; upon which the defendant said that they were old sacks. It was here contended by the defendant's solicitor that the sacks in question were originally of the legal dimensions, but that they had shrunk considerably, owing to exposure to the weather and other unfore seen causes. Mr.HoNF.—The public are not to be defrauded in this manner. The defendant, when he observed that his sacks were not capable of containing the legal quantity, should have had them lengthened to the proper size, or destroyed them altogether, and got new ones in their stead. _ . George Worster, an inspector of weights and measures, was then called, and on measuring the sacks in question, he found the deficiency as follows: —The first sack, deficient two inches in length, the second one inch and three-quarters, the third three inches, and the fourth three inches. It was stated that the legal measure of a coal sack was four feet four inches in length, by two feet two inches in breadth. The defendant, as well as several other coal-mer chants who were present, said that the sacks would not be found wanting in measurement if measured with the standard. This instrument was accordingly procured; but the sacks were still ascertained to have been deficient in length. The defendant's solicitor contended that no fraud was intended, alleging that a Mr. Green, the pur chaser of the coals, having ordered a chaldron, that is, 12 sacks, his clieat added another sack, making it 13, aware that there might have been a little de ficiency. The MAGISTRATE observed that the case was completely established against the defendant, and accordingly fined him 20s. on each sack, making the penalty V., together with costs. The Solicitor who attended for the coal-meter, here observed that they had another charge of a similar nature against the defendant, by which it would appear that the fraud was carried on to a great extent against the public by this particular defendant. The summons having been read charging the de. fendant with the alleged offence, to which he pleaded " not guilty," Mr. Tourquand, on being again sworn, stated that subsequently to the above transaction he went to the defendant's wharf on the 6th inst., and observed a waggon partly loaded with coals. The men were loading the vehicle without the presence of a coal meter, and they took 4 or 5 sacks from a pile that lay upon the wharf. e on the pile whi c h sacks remaining on the pile were short . in dimensi on, he lt being evident to ‘uvsi‘t then i,ce, n it ptaliri:aeltavrteledi d ttoilme asureerdeir e t i e t were nine in i eem n s i i e an t e e kl i ts . i , who rpemr eas a rj d ieg, j ust were deficient, some of them as much as six inches in length. Upon ascertaining the deficiency, the defendant came up, and begged witness not to take notice of the matter. Witness then insisted that the sacks on the waggon should be taken off, for the purpose of measuring them. Twenty-one full sacks g s .th s 2 ix inch es an d a h a lf. except one, some of were then emptied and measured, when all were t fo h u e n m d s t i o x be deficie n t others in rl er On discovery of the de fi ciency in the sacks, the de fendant said that it was of little consequence, as the coals were going to a retailer, and repeated his en treaty that witness would not notice the affair. Wit ness added, t hat he di rec t e d t h e l a b our i ng meter to take possession of the sacks until they were sent for. There were 29 sacks deficient in all. The witness was cross-exaaiined, but he did not vary in the slightest degree from his previous state ment, lie admitted that coal-merchants were in the habit of warehousing their coals. It was here contended by the defendant, that the coals in question were not intended for any dealer or customer, but that his men were carrying them into his warehouse from the barge. Titterton, a coal-meter, proved the deficiency in the 29 sacks. Mr. Tourquand on subsequently calling at the de fendant's wharf, observed several sacks lengthened with large pieces at top and bottom. In his cross-examination, Mr. Tourquand admitted that nine sacks were empty out of the twenty-nine that he had measured. - - Mi. H ONE , said with regard to the empty sucks, al though found on the premises, yet he should not con vict upon them. The defendant again repeated that the twenty sacks found deficient in length, were intended to be placed in the warehouse, whereas Mr. Tourquand, on the other hand, swore positively that the defend ant had at the time the deficiency was discovered, distinctly worted that they were intended for a coal-retailer. Mr. HONE —As the case has been fully proved, shall fine you 20s. on each of the 20 sacks deficient, making the penalty in the whole 20/., in order to re strain you and others belonging to the trade from practising such Impositi ons on the public. There was another charge against the defendant for sending coals out of his premises without a meter's ticket ; but the principal coal-meters agreeri to withdraw it, the defendant stating that he should not appeal against the above convictions. Mr. Somerfield, the coal-merchant, was fined 20 for an assault on one of the officers. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDCF, Nov. 21.—0 n Monday last, John W. Budd, Esq. 8.A., and Richard T.
