HART V. HART. HIS HONOUR gave judgment in this cause. The plain tiff and defendant carried on business as partners up to the month of March, 1830. About that time they agreed to dissolve partnership, and a deed was executed for that purpose. By the terms of this agreement the debts owing to the concern were divided into two ports ; one comprised good debts, and the other bad, or doubtful debts. With respect to the good debts, they were to be received by the defendant for his own use, on his pay ing the plaintiff 2,0001.. The bad debts were to be col lected by the defendant after the dissolution of partner ship. The bill , was filed in August, 1838, for an account of the receipts by the defendant since the 'dissolution of the partnership., The, defendant admitted the deed, but stated that after the deed was prepared, and before its execution, it.was discovered that four of the debts which had been treated as good were, in fact, bad, or doubtful. It was then agreed that the 2,0001. should be paid in a different 'mariner, and a second instrument was executed. The defendant averred The performance on his part of the agreement, and insisted that the account sought against him should be taken on the footing of both instruments. Objection had been taken to.the admissibility of the evidence with respect to the second deed ; and it was argued. that it could not be admitted, because the original was lost, and there was no proof that it had been stamped. He had already expressed his opinion, that if the evidence were received, the agreement set up in the answer had been' fully proved. He now thought it rested with the party objecting to the evidence to prove that the deed was not stamped. After referring to several cases on this point, his Ilmour referred it to the Master to " inquire what has become of the agreement mentioned in the answer, to have been signed by the plaintiff on the 6th of July, 1830." The Court was still proceeding with the cause of Clayton v. Meadows, when we went to press. QUEEN.S BENCH—(THIS DAY.) The COURT gave judgment in the following cases ar gued during the present Session :-- HARVEY V. O'MEARA. In this case the COURT was of opinion that if the damages were reduced in the manner suggested by .Mr. Kelly, there ought to be no rule. LANE V: HEWSON. In this case the question was whether in an action of detenue the defendant should not have especially pleaded that he bad a lien upon the goods. The Court had consulted Mr. Baron Parke, before, whom the case was tried, and. he agreed with them, that as the evidence of lien might be given under the plea. of the property not being that of theplaintitf, in actions of trover the same rule would apply to actions.ofdetenue, and the rule for a new trial therefore must be refused. DOE DEM PRESFIELD V. SKIPWORTIIY. The question in this case, which was tried before Mr. Baron. Parke at Lincoln, was whether the unadmitted lien of a copyhold could transmit the title. The Court was of opinion that he could, and therefore the rule for a new trial must be refused. In the course of the day the new Lord Mayor, attended by the city authorites, came into Court, and invited the Judges, in the usual form, to be present at the entertain ment at the Guildhall that evening. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) THOMAS V. BIRD AND ANOTHER. This was an action for false imprisonment, which was tried before Lord Denman at the late assizes for Kent, when a verdict' was found for the defendant. Mr. PLATT now moved for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the grounds of its being against the evidence, and the improper reception of evidence by the Learned Judge. The plaintiff had lived for many years with Mr. Bird, a farmer, as housekeeper. He was not on good terms with his family, but he had been an indulgent master to the plaintiff, who had en tered his service when young, and had got comparatiyely old in it. He was not only kind to her, but also treated any friend of her's who called to see her with great urbanity. On May 23d of the present year, the brother of the plaintiff and a young man named Penn called upon her and stopped the day, eating and drinking at the same table with the deceased. At tea time the deceased William Bird turned to the plaintiff and said, " Ann go up stairs and fetch that parcel I told you of in my room." She did so. He added, " Now bring the money I gave you before." She brought a bag containing 49 sovereigns. He then opened the parcel and it contained near 5001., he took it all and said, " Now take it up, place it in the box, and, turning to the brother and his friend, said, " You are witnesses that I have given it .to her ; take it home, and let her mother take care of it for her." The old man desired the brother to come over again on the Tuesday and look what the farm servants were doing. He did so, and although Mr. Bird was not able to go out himself, he desired him to' go to certain fields and report to him how they were cultivated. While he was there a butcher sent in a check for 151. 175., and Bird said " Here, Ann, you may as well take this as part of the 221. I owe you for paying the men." On the Thurs day he was found dead In his chair, and immediate notice was given to the members of his family. The defendants, deceased's brothers,arrived in a short time; they demanded the key:: from the plaintiff. They ransacked the house, and were much disappointed at finding no property. They prevented the plaintiff from leaving the house— they charged her with robbing the deceased, and asked where all the property was. She answered that she knew of no property, but that which he had given her, and at once gave an inventory of the whole of it, and told them where it was. They were very angry, and told her she had done enough to get herself transported. They imprisoned her till next day, when they took her over to Maidstone to an attorney, who was connected with the family, where, by threats and intimidation, they induced her to give up the whole of the pro perty, including even the check for 181. 175., her own property. They again took her home, and confined her for two days more ; they refused to pay her wages, and by intimidation and threats attempted to induce her to sign a paper, acknowledging that she had voluntarily given up the property, and that she would not give them any trouble about the matter, but this she refused to do, and was turned out of doors. Still, although these facts were abundantly proved, the Jury had found that there had been no im prisonment. For the defendants there was actually no defence, because the whole of the witnesses had a direct interest in the distribution of the property of the deceased. In order to obviate his objection, - a re lease was executed to two of them, but as their interests were separate, the ieleaso ought to have two stamps— whereas it had only one ; it was therefore invalid. The COURT—Take a rule upon the latter ground. JEWISON V. DYSON. Mr. WORTLEY, in moving for a new trial in this case, said the rights of the Crown were involved—he might say the rights of the Illustrious Person whom they were informed had so lately come among them (the birth of a Prince had just been announced). It was an action to try in whom the right to appoint the Coroner for the Honour of Pomfret, which comprised the greater part of the West Ridine• 4 , of Yorkshire, vested. The Crown • o'aimed to appoint upon a charter granted in the 23d Edward 111., to the then Duke of Lancaster, which claim was resisted by the Magistrates on the part of the free holders. It was tried at the late York Assizes before Lord Penman, when a verdict was found for the plain tiff. At the trial the plaintiff had not shown any ap • pointment till the 4th of Elizabeth, and the person then appointed never acted as Coroner. The defendant showed that in that year an inquest was held by the Cormier for the county. There was nothing shown until the period between 1756 and 1796, when it ap peared some payments were made by the Magistrates for inquests held by the Duchy Coroner. They did prove many inquests held by him after, but the defendant showed that the County Coroner held inquests, and many more in fact than the Duchy Coroner, at the same period, thereby proving at all events a concurrent jurisdiction. Ho complained that the whole of the questions raised upon the record had not been left to the Jury. The Cow'. took time to consider the case, and wished to see the charter in the Latin. THE LORD MAYOR. At two o'clock the civic procession appeared. The Lord .Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Alderman Johnson (the late Lord Mayor), Aldermen J. Johnson, Farn combe, Gibbs, Ilumphery, Sir G. Carroll, and the Sheriffs, having taken their places in the seat allotted to Queen's Counsel, the Recor der presented the Lord Mayor to the Court. The Lord Chief Baron congratulated him upon his ac ceding to his high office upon a day that would be hailed with delight by the whole nation, from the auspicious event which had taken place. After the usual formalities, the Recorder, in the name of the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs , invited the Judges to dine at the Guildhall, and they departed as they came. The COURT then took kfew short motions, none of which possessed any ... poll:lt of importance. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) Sir Frederick Pollock took the oaths and declaration as Attorney-General PI. NKNEY V. BOOTH. In this case, in which Mr. Newton had obtained on a former day a rule nisi for arrest of judgment, Mr. Justice PATTESON said that the rule must be revoked ; first, 'because having moved in the full Court for new trial, on precisely the same affidavits, and having been refused, it was not competent for the Learned Counsel to move in arrest of judgment in this Court. The motion ought to have been in made in the full Court: and, secondly, because a motion aof judg ment could only b e made on the ground of something ap pearing on the face of the record. Now, in the present case, the postca had not yet been returned into Court. The will, therefore, must be revoked. The parties, however, had their remedy. If the, gr ounds as stated , appeared on the face of the record, a motion might be made in arrest of judgment, and if they did not appear on the 'face of the record, then they might move in error.—ltule re voked. EXPARTE ARNOLD. In this case Mr. ,VHITEHURST applied to the Court for a certiorari to remove the proceedings against a man named Arnold, charged with manslaughter, into this Court, and for a rule n isi to ad• mit the applicant to bail. It appeared that Arnold had been driving some persons in a spring cart in the neighbourhood of Birmingham, when, in turning a corner, he drove against a post accidentally, the cart was upset, and a Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin were thrown out. Mrs. Baldwin died the next day, and an inquest was held_ on her body by the Coroner of Birmingham, and the Jury returned a verdict of accidental death. Mr. Baldwin 'having been removed into the neighbour hood in which he resided, died also about a fortnight after - the accident. An inquest was held before the County Coroner, and the Jury was composed of the T FIE' SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEAIBER 9, 1841. neighbours and friends of Baldwin who were ex ceedingly anxious to punish Arnold, and they brought in a verdict of manslaughter. The affi-. davit of Arnold stated that the death was entirely the result of accident, and that the applicant was too poor to be brought up, and therefore ho trusted the Court would permit him to be admitted to bail before a Magistrate in the country. Mr. Justice PATTESON—Take the certiorari, and the rule to show cause for the bail. Application granted. THE QUEEN V. THE SHERIFF OF WARWICKSHIRE.— MANDAMUS. Mr. WHATELY, on behalf of the Birmingham and Glou cester Railway Company, moved for a rule for a man damus to the Sheriff of Warwickshire, directing him to review his notices of the costs in the cause of Parkes v. the BirMingham and Gloucester Railway Company. Under the powers of the Railway Act, the Sheriff had been called up to summon a Jury to assess the com pensation due to 31r. Parkes, for land taken from him, and for injury done to his property by the Railway Company. The Jury gave him a verdict of 201. as the value of the land, and 5001. for the damage done. Now, by the Act of Parliament, in such cases costs could only be allowed for the summoning the Jury, for the xpenses of witnesses, and for the bond for the secu rity of payment ; but in taxing the costs in this case the Under-Sheriff had allowed the plaintiff costs which he was not authorised to do by law, such as for attend ances, instructions, &c. This had been objected to at the time, and the Under-Sheriff had subsequently been applied to,- but had refused to review his taxation unless the Court should be of opinion that he ought to do so. Under these circumstances the application was made. Mr. Justice PATTrfsoN—Take your rule.—Applica tion granted. BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAIL) An application was made this morning to Mr. HALL , the sitting Alagistrate, requesting that he would. issue his warrant orliering the prisoners Kennot and the brothers Paccard, charged on suspicion with adminis tering deleterious drugs to Michael Kennot, on the morning of Saturday last, to be removed from prison, that they might be enabled to be present at the 4djourried inquest to be held at the 'Grapes public-houSe. The application was made in consequence of a wish expressed by the Jury that the parties should not be criininated in their absence • The Magistrate said that he had no power whatever to interfere in the matter; he could give no order either one way or the other. The Coroner might issue his warrant requesting the gaoler to allow the parties to be removed from prison for the occasion, but that was an arrangement in which a Magistrate could not interfere. ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL.. (THIS DAY.) A Special General Meeting of the members of this corporation was held this day at the Rooms of the Hor ticultural Society, 21, Regent-street, for the purpose of electing a President in the room of Admiral the Right Hon. Sir George Cockburn, G.C.8., M.P., resigned. The meeting was attended by a considerable number of military and naval officers, and others connected with the Institution, amongst whom were Sir W. H. Gage, and Sir George Seymour, Lords of the Admiralty. Admirals Young, Griffiths, Sir R. Dobson ; Captains Sweeny, Forbes, Dickson, Currie, Evans, Fead, Holt, J. B. Smith, Sackett, Hope, and Lambert ; Doctors Domville, Tweedale, Vitcb, Mitchell; Lieuts. Henderson, Saunders, and Gardiner; Messrs. Morris, JessoT, Le Geyt, Marks, &c. Sir G. SEYMOUR took the chair, and called on the Secretary, Mr. HOPE, to read a letter from Sir George Cockburn, tendering his resignation, in consequence of his appoint ment as one of the Lords of the Admiralty, whereby he would be prevented from giving the requisite attention to the duties of the office of President of the Society. In conclusion, he begged to assure. the Society that his best services were ever at their command. The Secretary then read the advertisement calling the meeting together. Admiral G RIFFITHS proposed the first resolution, "that the letter just received from Admiral the Right Hon. Sir George Cockburn,.tendering his resignation as Presi dent of the Royal Naval School, in consequence of his appointment as a Lord of the Admiralty putting it out of his power to give the requisite attention to the duties of that office, this meeting, in accepting the resignation of Sir George Cockburn, unanimously record their high sense of the advantages which have accrued to the insti tution from his occupying the important office of President, which he kindly consented to accept at the unanimous request of the supporters of the institution, assembled in May 1840; and this meet ing is desirous of expressing its heart-felt thanks to him for the deep interest he has taken in the institution ever since its commencement, but more especially for his active exertions during his able Presidency, and they beg to tender to him their sincere acknowledgments for the kind and courteous manner in which he has tendered his resignation, as well as for his liberal offer of future assistance and support, which entitles him to their gratitude." The resolution being seconded without comment, was then put, and carried unanimously. Vice-Admiral Sir WA GAGE proposed the next reso- lotion, which was seconded by Rear-Admiral GRIFFITHS, " that Vice-Admiral Sir Chas. Ogle be elected President of the Royal Naval School, in the room of Admiral the Right Hon. Sir George Cockburn, G.C.8., resigned." Captain Dicxsort spoke to the resolution, and eulo gised the character of Sir Charles Ogle. His (Sir C. Ogle's) exertions had been very great in the cause of the institution, and he would give them one fact in proof of t. When Sir Charles was at Brighton, a meeting of the Society was held, and he at considerable inconve nience came up to London to attend it.—(Cheers.) He merely mentioned the fact in proof of the fitness of Sir Charles Ogle for the office of President of the Royal Naval School.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution was put, and carried unanimously. Captain FEAD proposed, and Captain LAMBERT se conded a resolution conveying the thanks of the meeting to the Horticultural SOciety for their kindness in grant ing the gratuitous use of the room for the purpose of that meeting.—This resolution was carried. A vote of thanks was then passed to the late Trustees, Sir Geo. Martin, Sir Charles Ogle, and Sir Henry Dighy. The CHAIRMAN said that as that was but a mere routine meeting there was no further business before it. He could say with truth that this was a most auspicious day in all respects.—(Hear, hear.) The thanks of the meeting were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned.' THE TOWER OF LONDON. The distinguished office which his Grace the Duke of Wellington now holds as Constable of the Tower, is of very ancient date, as the London historian, Stow, says— " In 1245 Sir John de Giser was Mayor of London, and in 1311 Sir John de Giser, Knight, and Constable of the Tower of London, resided at the mansion of Giser's Hall, now corruptly called Gerard's Hall, in Basing-lane. The same historian also speaks of a high-roofed hall. The crypt in which this high. roofed hall stood still re mains, in beautiful order, and is to be seen. It is 48 feet in length, and 20 in breadth, and is equally divided into two aisles by six central round columns; these terminate above in groined arches of the early pointed order, and which spring from the same number of similar columns. The fine proportion of the vault itself—in short, the effect of. the whole, resembles that of the crypt of some fine Gothic church. LLOYD'S SHIPPING—(THIS DAY.)

It is probable that the event to which all are looking forward with such in tense anxiety, will not take place until the first, or pos sibly the second, week of November."— The Observer, Oct. 17.

The birds were all remarkably fine, and in the highest state of perfection, weighing, upon an average, upwards of 13 ounces each. After this account of the slaughter of these once rare birds, the shooting of a solitary one must cease to be a subject of interest in this part of the country. AMERICAN NEWS THREE DAYS LATER FROM THE UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, MoNnAN EVENING. The fast-sailing packetshiP England, Captain Waite, arrived in our, Port this evening, after a speedy passage'of nineteen 'days and a half. By her we have . been put in possession of NeW York papers to the 20th ult. Matters had assumed a quiet appearance in the political world. The M'Leod affair had almost ceased to be men- tioned, and those journals disposed to wage a wordy war with England were looking abroad for subjects of quarrel on which to vent their spleen. Some doubtful information, brought from Maracaibo, had, afforded food for a para graph, stating that the Venezuela territory had been invaded by British troops; and rumours were afloat of our evil intentions against Cuba. Little or no reliance was, however, placed on the latter report. The Money Market, according to the latest accounts, exhibited some variation, and had closed rather heavily. Cotton was also dull, but Flour was very firm, with a tendency to advance.

The Albany Argus of Saturday says:—" We were in error yesterday in saying that M`Leod passed through this city on Thursday, on his way to Boston, via Hud son.] lllc came no further than Schenectady, taking the cars from that place to Ballston, and no doubt thence to Canada." But the Boston Transcript says, that M‘Leod actually embarked on board the steamer Acadia, which is confirmed through Mr. Harnden's express. No less than one hundred and twelve men were recently put on trial in Ogle County, Illinois, on an indictment for murder. The charge was for having killed a couple of notorious miscreants named. Dris coll, who set all law at defiance, and had actually committed several murders as well as other enormous crimes, and managed by means of their numbers and of the wilderness in which they carried on their de predations, to escape the reach of the Civil Magistracy. The entire population of the country had been obliged, in self defence, to turn out and rid theinselves of the nuisance— a nuisance that had placed itself beyond . the pale of the law, and made itself intolerable to the suf ferers. They did turn out, and probably inflicted sum mary punishment upon the offenders.—We doubt not that the Driscolls were put to death by their hands, and much as such an act must be lamented, we are not quite certain that under the circumstances of this case, that it should be put down among the ordinary enor mities denominated Lynch Law. In such a part of the country, and in such a state of society, it is difficult to pronounce judgment against the accused. At all events. the Jury acquitted the prisoners without hesitation. 250,000 1,056,000 300,000 635,000 300,000 Total.. (Signed) VENEZUELA.

If our readers derive no instruction from the following account of the late change of the Bri tish Cabinet, addressed by a Turkish Effendi in LoudOn, to a friend at Constantinople, they will at least be amused by it. The writer is said to be a poet and'a man of letters; and, judging from the following specimen of his style, an autobio graphical diary of his residence in England, would make the fortune ofa London bookseller:— " London, sth Regieb. " On the second of the present moon, the pillars of state (Ministers) and the illustrious by birth of the Eng lish nation were convoked by superior order to delibe rate upon certain State matters, and to lend the ear of attention to a speech from the Queen of these realms, uttered through the mouth of a high functionary, deputed to act as the trumpet of Majesty. This speech contained excellent matter, and evinced exceeding solicitude for the honour and welfare of the people. But many of the illustrious by envying the holders of power, covet ing the good things resulting therefrom, and having many needy tribesmen claimants for Pachalics and other well retributed offices, turned aside the cheek of content, and displayed great impatience during the read ing. Out of deference, however, to Majesty, they withheld the hand of opposition, and placed the lock of discretion upon 'their lips, until the echo of authority was silent. But when the principal Vizir (141elboorn Mushir) proposed that he should be empowered to return a dutiful and submissive acknow ledgment, up rose Ripoon Bey, an ex-Vizir (whose name signifies luire' with us), and 70 or more souls, crying out discourteous, yok, yok' (no, no). We have eaten your filth long enough. You would fain give all our corn to weavers and mechanics, that we may be reduced to live on alms. That is a bad speech ! we can make a better. You are subverters, faithless men. Go out, go out 1' " Thereupon the aforesaid Vizir displayed unbounded astonishment. Finding, however, that numbers were against him, and that the wand f authority was fast gliding from his fingers, he exclaimed in doleful tones, Oh illustrious by birth.: This is a conduct not to be found on record. Is the imperial will mere dirt in your eyes ? But the sword of strength is in your hands. Smite l Alas ! reason. in the brain of the hungry is as a light skiff tossed amid troubled waters. Listen. I and the other Vizirs, my colleagues, will only hold the rud der until it shall please our Sovereign Mistress, upon whom be the blessings of increase, to appoint new steers men. We are your sacrifice,' " Upon this arose an incredible confusion of tongues. Some friends cried out, aferin, aferin, (bravo) dinky' (hear), and door' (stay); but their voices were drowned by the outcries of opponents, who seditiously vociferated, Away, away, you bray like donkeys mumbling tough thistles. We will not listen to your rigmarole. We place no snore confidence in your words than in rotten planks. Begone! the sooner the better. You are spit upon.' Thereat the illustrious by birth separated tts multuously. " Intelligence of these unlooked-for occurrences having been conveyed to the ear of Majesty, the royal brow was clouded. But the Queen having pondered briefly, de spatched Tatars for Peel Bey, a man practised in state matters, cunning in council, expert in speech, and chief of a numerous sect called Toorees, or Preservers. To this sect belong the whole of the English Ullemah and ex pounders of sacred books, most of the illustrious by birth, and a preponderance of people holding land by descent, or places where nothing is done, much gained, and more wanted (query ? sinecures)—not to mention the Seraskier (commander-in-chief), and many generals and officers famous in battle by land and sea—a for midable array. " This sect is therefore very powerful, and has acquired its second name from its adherence to ancient preju- dices, its hoarding much corn in granaries, and itsoppo sition to all innovations. One of its principal dogmas consists in asserting that all benefits conferred by others are grievous evils, and that all men are the sons and grandsons of asses who are not of their kin. This is not accordant with reason, but it is advantageous to persons. The Persian Suffites believe that all things are good, since they proceed from the Almighty—the English Preservers, when not in office, declare that all things are bad, because they do not emanate from themselves. In my small wisdom, this is intensely selfish and profane. " Well, this Peel Bey having arrayed himself in the garb of humility, and placed beneath his breast cover a list of Vizirs and other functionaries, all eager for the cup of enjoyment, hastily proceeded to the foot of the throne, where, upon being commanded to assume power, he dropped the eyelid of feigned reluctance, and replied coyly, that he only consented to abandon the violet bed of privacy, and to tread the thorny path of grandeur, in order to prove his devotion to the Imperial person, his disinterested attachment to religion and corn, and his ardent desire to save the vessel of State from being ship wrecked by unskilful mariners. Whereupon the Queen said, ' Peki (good), thy face is whitened,' and with sor rowful heart directed the nishans (insignia) of office to be taken from the bosoms of ancient and well-loved ser vants, and to be suspended round the necks of the Pre servers. " Thereat Peel Vizir, the illustrious by birth, and the lineman, gave loose to the mirth of satisfaction, and the dismissed Vivirs packed up their chattels and withdrew into privacy, there to chew the cud of retrospection—a sour repast. In the meanwhile, Peel Vizir exemplified one of the tenets of the Preservers, by an act utterly disc b', dant with our notions of decency and submission to the - pe ill rial will. Fearing lest the female intimates and a i su perior attendants of Majesty might breed intrigues to Ins disparagement, and pour the bitter oil of aversion into the Queen's ears, he (Peel Vizir) declared the royal harem to be harf (an enemy's country), and insisted that the principal Odaliks, attached to the Maubain (auto chaMber) and inward apartments, should be turned out ‘li`eck and crop, and replaced by others belonging to the tribes of the illustrious by birth and other Preservers. " At this the beautiful Queen waxed inwardly wrath, but having sworn to conform to certain usages, on which this bold demand was founded, and being a Princess ve nerating oaths, her Imperial Majesty smothered the flame of just resentment beneath the mantle of endur ance, and again said, ' Peki'—a bitter potion. There upon the weeping Odaliks—some old—some young— some cypress-formed—some melon-waisted, were driven forth from the mansion of delight, and compelled to seek shelter beneath other wings, and the harem, being sup plied with fresh inmates, was declared no longer harf. Thus matters stand at present in this land. " Now, two or three conclusions forcibly strike, upon the drum of my intelligence. Firstly, it. is evident that Melboorn Pacha must have omitted to consult the court astrologer, or that this latter functionary must be the grandfather of all filth mongers, and merits condign punishment, for having selected an unpropitious day for the utterance of the imperial words. Secondly, it is clear that the illus trious by birth and other Preservers, must woefully n eg . lect the arts of cultivation, or that they must be most egregious consumers of provender, if they dread lest the giving of sufficient corn to fill the stomachs of the poor should cause starvation to themselves. Thirdly, how much more enviable is the majesty of the Padishah, our omn i po t en t master, with whom jle perpetual glo ry , t h an that of the Queen of t his coal br eeding peopl e . I nstant death would be the just lot of him who should venture to raise the eye of observation upon any person inhabiting the privileged po rtion of the im perial abode. And as to th os e who would attempt to smother the r o y a l wor d s -with contemptuous ashes, or to treat the. Vizirs, as un clean colliers treat catskins, by turning them inside ' out, ' Allah ! allah ! my heart exchanges place at the bare idea of their destiny, _ my in . cmo , Remember me in your prayers." THE COUNTY NEW POLICE. ' (FJ{O3l A CORRESPONDENT..) LONGTON; POTTERIES; Nov. 3.—1 send you enclosed a e-opy, of an information exhibited to Thomas Baily RoSe and John Harvey, the former being our Pottery Stipendiary Magistrate, the latter being a Magistrate for, the county, and private gentleman. Stonier was summoned to answer the charge before the Bench of Magistrates at Stoke-upon-Trent, on Friday last, and also to answer an assault on Levi Wantling,which he committed at the time he illegally searched the house of John Mackay without a warrant, during the time he had Mackay in custody. The cases came on before Thomas B. Rose, Philip Barnes Broadie, and John Har vey, Esqrs., Magistrates, on Friday last, and the investi gation occupied upwards of four hours, when the Magis trates intimated that they would give their judgment at Longton this day. The parties attended at Longton this day, wheal all the above Magistrates being present, Mr. Rose gave the judgment against Richard Stonier, the Superintendent, whi c h was , t h at f or t h e assau l t on Levi Mauling he be fined 41. and costs, and in default of pay ment one month's imprisonment ; and for his conduct to John Mackay, that he be suspended for one month. 'TIE DEPOSITION OF 'JOHN MACKAY, Of Stoke •upon-Trent, in the county of Stafford, Beer seller by Retail, . who on his oath saith as follows : I have been a resident householder of Stoke-upon- Trent, for fifteen. years and. upwards. lam the owner of a canal boat which I let on the line, and which is - of the value of one hundred pjittids, or thereabouts. I have carried on the business of a Retail Beer-seller iri Stoke-upon-Trent aforesaid for about five years. On Monday the 27th of September laSt, at ten o'clock, I had occasion to -tarry. .from 13 - 1 y boat to my dwelling house (the said boat being on the Trent and Mersey,, Canal, 'about . 60 yards from my house), three deal planlis, or, boards, .of about 16 feet in length each. As "I was carrying two of the boards, I met James - Hope, policeman, of Stoke-upon-Trent, who saw me carry the said boards or planks to: my house, as I verily believe. On my returning a few minutes .afterwards with the third plank or board 'the said James Hope spoke to me and asked me what I was . going to.do-with the boards, and where I had got th em from., I, immediately %told the said James Hope that '1 had got them from my boat, that I had purchased them from James Taylor,- of Langport dock-yard; which is about four miles from Stoke-upon-Trent aforesaid, and that I was going to use them in some- alterations I was about to make at. the stable of the dwelling-house I was then living in. The said James Hope then requested me to go up to the Police-office with him, which I rea dily consented to do, and immediately aceompanied him to the Police-offic - e, where; . after waiting some time, I was questioned by Richard Stonier, the Superintendent, who took down my answers to his inquiries in writing ; after being so questioned the said Richard Stonier ordered me into the kitchen, when he put an iron chain on my leg, which weighed about six pounds, and put me into a cell where there were two men, each being chained by the leg and fastened to the ring in the floor. I was also fastened to the ring, and could not move from it more than three or four feet. I requested the said Superintendent Richard Stonier to let me sit up by the kitchen fire;'Which he refused to allow me to do. I had nothing to lie dowii tipbtrbut - a small couch, upon which was a Mattress, but no clothes to cover me. Only two of us could recline upon the couch at one time. I was so chained and confined the whole of the night of Monday, all day on Tuesday, and the whole of Wednesday. On Wednesday night 1 was removed from the cell, and put into a smaller one, chained to a ring in the floor as before, but there was nothing to lie down upon -except a board and nothites -to cover me. On Thursday morning I was taken before Thomas Bailey Rose, Esq., the stipendiary Magistrate for 'Stoke-upon -1 Trent, who was sitting - at Tnnstall, six miles from Stoke, and immediately discharged ; the said Richard Stonier, not offering any evidence against me. During the whole of the said time, from Monday night to Thurs.' day morning, I was not allowed to see my wife or any of my friends, or to communicate with any one, except through the police-officers. I never offered the least resistance to the officers, or' attempted to get away, yet the iron put on me on Wednesday night, was much heavier than the one I had previously worn. I asked the said Richard Stonier on Thursday morning, the reason of my 'being removed into a smaller cell, and a heavier iron put on my leg, when he sneeringly replied, " It was not well to stay too long in one place." During the whole time of my con finement, as before mentioned, I saw no Magistrate, or any person whatever, except the police people. I re quested the said Richard Stonier several times to take me before a Magistrate that I might clear myself from any charge lie had against me. The said Thomas Bailey Rose, Esq., was on Tuesday at Burslem, about four miles from Stoke-upon-Trent, and within a mile of the residence of Mr. James Taylor, from whom I had pur ' chased the beards, and whose name and residence I had given to the said Richard Stonier on Monday night, when I was first confined. On Wednesday the said Thomas Bailey Rose sat at Longton, which is within three miles of Stoke-upon-Trent, and I am informed, and verily believe it to be true, that the said Thomas Bailey Rose, Esq., and his clerk were at the - Police-office, at Stoke upon-Trent aforesaid, on Wednesday morning, whilst I was in custody, and that the said Thomas Bailey Rose, ' Esq., discharged a man from the - custody of the said Richard Stonier, who had been chained and confined by the said Richard Stonier, in the cell of the police-office, from the: previous Saturday, and that the said Richard Stonier had no evidence of any charge to make against the said man, notwithstanding he had confined him four days and four nights. I verily believe I should have been.longer kept in custody, had not Mr. Williams, attorney-at-Taw, of Stoke-upon-Trent aforesaid,whoni myfriends employed on Thursday morning, insisted Upon the said Richard Stonier immediately taking me before a Magistrate. Daring the period I was so confined I had no opportunity of taking off my clothes to refresh myself ; a most offen sive stench arose from a vessel in the cell, as the vessel was not emptied or removed from the cell during the time I was confined. In the small cell where I was con fined on Wednesday night there was no convenience of any kind. After I left the police -office on Thursday morning I found upon my person and clothes, which 1 had picked up there. The boards or planks which I was carrying from my boat as before-mentioned, were returned to me on Tuesday, the sth of October in stant, the same having been kept at the police-office from the 27th of September, when I was first confined.

JOHN HARVEY. MEETING TO CONGRATULATE MR. BRONTERRE O'BRIEN ON HIS RE LEASE FROM PRISON. The friends and admirers of Mr. Bronterre O'Brien held a public meeting, yesterday evening, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, for the purpose of congratulating him on his release from Lancaster gaol, where he had been imprisoned for eighteen months.

Mr. O'Brien, on entering the room, was received with vehement and repeated cheer& The CHAIRMAN stated the objects for which the work ing men of London had met that evening. Mr. SPUR then=-clime forward to propose the first re seintion. Ile wished to propose to them that honour Should be paid where honour was due. He would not detain the meeting by any lengthened observation of his, upon an occasion when their principal object was to listen to the distinguished advocate of their cause, Mr. O'Brien.—(Cheers.) The resolution placed in his hands was to this effect, " That the imprisonment of John James Bronterre O'Brien, Esq., for his benevolent exer tions in behalf of the poor, was unjust and inhuman." Mr. SCOTT seconded the resolution, which was put and carried unanimously, amidst loud cheers. Mr. O'BRIEN then came forward to address the meet ing amidst loud cheers. He would begin with them as he had begun with his old friends in Manchester, by telling them he was glad to see them.—(Cheers and laughter.) He felt glad, first because they seemed glad to see him ; next, because by seeing them proved to him that he was not in a worse place •, and, finally, bocausu after having for eighteen months seen nothing but thieves and smashers, it was gratifying to him to look upon the faces of honest men.--(Cheers.) He was happy to tell them that he had everywhere ob served an improved feeling among the 'friends of the cause. There was less of rashness—less of exaggerated confidence than before ; but there was to be found every where among the advocates of popular freedom a fi xe d, unalterable determination to obtain their rights. (Cheers.) The Chartism now abroad was as superior to the Chartism ,of 1839 and 1840, as the light of the sun was to that of the moon. It repudiated alike moral force delusion, and physical -force madness. Mr. O'Brien after a lengthened speech, for which Nye cannot' find room, then proceeded to advert to the distress Bow pre valent in the Manufacturing towns;.: andconclude d amidst loud and prolonged cheers, stating that a change in our legislative system was the Mil means by which those evils could be remedi e d or rem oved. The meeting separated at a late hour. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert walked yesterday fore noon in the garden of Buckingham Palace.

An adjourned tneeting of the Camberwell Vestry_was last night held - within the dining-hell of the Camberwell Workhouse, to resume the discussion of the proposed rates to be imposed Upon the parish for the rebuilding of when an attempt was made to pass the the- church, See: Th e or i g i nal meeting was called a fortnight ago , Report of tho Church Committee, involving a demand of 27,600/., when, after a long discussion, the meeting was adjourned till the following Monday, to consider the different clauses of that report seviatint, when, after discussing Whether 3,000/. should be granted for en larging the burying-ground, a division- took place at twelve o'clock, when a poll was demanded,and the scar decided that the minority had the right to decide how and when the poll should be taken. They determined that it should take place then, when, by themPention of Sturr,es Bourne's Act, the clause was declared carried by a majority of 41. The opponents of. the rite pro-- t e sted agairiSt the decision, and are to apply to the! Court of Queen's Bench to tut it aside. The meeting held last night was called to discuss kiet clause whereby 18,6001. arc proposed to ; he expended in the rebuilding of the church. T'ne,Yestry was a very crowded one, and inreb inteiest-was manifested' in the proceedings. The Rev. J. G. STOREY, the Vicar of the-, parish, took the chair, and opened the business of the meeting by reading the clause in the Church Committee's Re port now to be taken into consideration. Mr. BLACKBURN said that before. entering ; on the discussion proposed, he begged to call the attention of the Chairman and the meeting to the manner. in which . the poll had been taken at the last raeoting, : , 'The me thod then pursued he held to .be illegal and unjust. He protested against it at the time, and he new begged La hand in another regularly Written protest, signed by many who were not present at the meeting in ques tion: The Honourable Gentleman read some extracts from a work of Mr. Prideaux's, on parochial law, militating against the principles by which the Poll bad on the former occasion been regulated. He also quoted. the case of the King against the Churchwardens and: parishioners of St. Mary, Lambeth, by the judgment delivered in which, he contended that it was decided! that it was illegal to confine the poll to the parishioners in vestry asembled ; but that when a poll was de. marided, it should be kept open t o th e w h o l e o f t h e rate-payers of the parish. He thought that it was of great importance that the question as to“the taking of the poll should be gone into. The CHAiRMAN said he had heard nothing to induce him to alter the opinions or the course they bad already decided upon and acted upon. He thought the majo rity by the show of hands had no right to demand any further method of arriving at a decision—the minority could, however, demand a poi'. Mr. BLACKBURN, after some further remarks, moved " That the consideration of the clauses imposing rates be postpoced until the legality of the method of taking the last poll should have been settled in a court of law." The CHAIRMAN declined putting the motion amid' great uproar. - A PARISHIONER said that by the rule now laid down, the Chairman could put down any motion he wished not to be discussed. The CHAIRMAN—Then I will be answerable. After a scene of great excitement and confusion, Mr. CURLING rose to a point of order, bu; arasin.! terrupted by the Chairman, nhose conduct he charac terised as unfair and ungentlemanly. A. scene of the greatest confusion and turbulence ensued. Mr. CURLING for a long time, amid the outcries of the church-rate party, attempted in vain to be heard. Mr. BLACKBURN moved an adjournment of the Vestry until that day week. ' After a quarter of an hour of outcry and uproar, Mr. CLARK said that they would be guided in the imposition of the rates by the votes of the parishioners generally.—(Great cheering and uproar.) Mr. CURLING again attempted to make himself heard, and was again put down by the Chairman, who declined hearing him. Mr:Churchwarden PEU then, amid great confusion, proposed a motion, to the effoct that a rate of fourpence in the pound should be levied for the raising of 20,0004 to be expended in the various works connected with the proposed new church.—(Great excitement.) Mr. Cox moved an adjournment until the 16th inst Amid much uproar, several parishionete spoke strongly in reprobation of the conduct of the Chairman at the last meeting. Mr. l'Eu then proceeded ; amid frequent interrup tions, to speak in favour of his motion. Mr. BRETT having moved an adjournment, Mr. k 3. P. SWIM/I - contended; in - a long speech, that the estimates and plans proposed by the committee were more expens've and extensive tan were required in the parish. He concluded by moving that a sum not exceeding ten thousand pounds be expended in re building the parish church. After some discussion on various matters of detail connected with the building of the proposed church, the original motion and the amendment proposed by Mr. Smith were put to the meeting, when the latter was lost by an immenr,o majority. A poll of the parish was then demanded. This demand was put to the meeting, when it was decided by the voices of the majority that no poll of the parish should be taken. After iTle transaction of some other business con nected with the proposed new building, the meeting separated at a very late hour. ADMIRAL SIR R. STOPFORD.
