MORNING EDtTION. THE MURDERS AT ASHTON UNDER-LYNE. FURTHERDISCLOSURESCONNECTED WITH THE COMBINATION OF TRADES. ASHTON, SATURDAY.—It is to be regretted that at pie sent no clue has been obtained to the actual murderer or murderers of Benjamin Cooper, but no less than nineteen individuals are in custody, from some of whom something appears to be expected which may lead to the desired object. The parties in custody have all of them been in office of some kind in the Union, either as secretaries or commit tee-men, and judging from the extent of the correspon dence founel•in the club boxes of their various unions, an nouncing remittances from Ireland, London, Liverpool, Lan caster, Bolton, Rochdale, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and other towns of the United Kingdsm, they must have had the distribution of considerable sums of money. In conse quence of the discovery of this correspondence the authorities of Ashton have been enabled to extend their investigations into the nature of the Sawyers' Union in many parts of Lancashire, and to appre hend other individuals against whom the charge of con spiracy can be clearly made out ; and they might fur ther extend it, and promote so wholesale a prose cution of the unionists which, in all probability, would be the means of breaking up the system alto gether, if they were so encouraged by the Govern ment RS to warrant them in incurring the expense. As it is, however, the Government has done nothing more than offer the reward of 1001. fer the discovery of the murderer of Benjamin Cooper, and the all the prosecution of offenders, however far distant from the county they may he apprehended, must fall upon the county-rate. The members of the sawyers' unions in several distant parts of the kingdom, b the correondence found , m i g ht be im plicated in a wi de-spread ing conspiracy ; but this could not be done without the countenance of the Government, as the county of Lancaster is not likely to incur any such expense. As it is, the authorities have not the legal means of paying even a policeman for his exertions. NVith respect to this correspondence, and the somewhat .riling announcement of the existence of these murder ous associations, and the method of selecting the victi.rF, a rigid inquiry has been made, which has led to further disclosures of importance. The Magistrates of Asht„n under- Lyne issued warrants for the apprehension of sixteen or seventeen individuals residing in the towns of Roch del% Bolton, Liverpool, Bury, &c., which were placed in the hands of Newton, the deputy constable of Ashton under-Lyne; Driver, the superintendent of the rural police; and Gattcy, the deputy constable of Stayley bridge. Newton having proceeded to Liverpool fur the purpose of apprehe nding an individual not in cus tody, went thence to Belton, end succeeded in appre hending a man named Lomax, the Secretary of the Sawyers' Ueion in that town, and found in his possession a quantity of papers tending to inculteee him and others in the conspiracy. On scathing the club-box, he found the eeles, and other documents connected with Trade.s Unions, which sufficiently manifested that a horrid sys tem of coercion is pursued by the managers of the Trades' Union; towards the operatives. In a secret drawer of the box, the key of which Lo;nax kept in his pocket, was found a book, containing the rules, regulations, and mysteries of the Uuion, and detailing the whole pro ceedings of the Sawyers' Union, on the initiation of a new member. Those documents are in the hands of the Ashton authorities, and though I have not seen them m ) self, I am indebted to the possessor of them for a faint sketch of their purport. It appears, then, that a declaration and an oath are administered to every new member by an individual disguised in a mask. The new member is blindfolded before he is taken to the place where the oath is administered, before he ob tains admission to which he is what they term " sallied," that is turned round and round, so as to be unable to find the spot again. After the oath is adminis tered he is conducted out, and undergoes the same round about process. During the ceremony of initiation a hymn is sung, to the tune of the Old Hundredth Psalm, the words of which are wrii ten in the book seized, and are of a threatening character, to all knob :ticks, viz., those who di not joln the Union. Tnis being concluded, the new member is asked by the disguised individual if he is willing to become a member, and if he answer yes. the declara tion and oath are administered to him, and ho enters into a solemn undertaking not to diste.ge the secrets of the Union. Both the Bible and the New Testament are kissed on the occasion; and in the course of the ceremony the skeleton of a man, which stands at one end of the room, is pointed out to him, and he is reminded of his doom if he divulges anything, by the disguised man, in doggerel, something like— " Here are the eyes that ceased to glare, Here is the bosom that's ceased to beat, Here is death's emblem, so beware Of treachery, or view your fate " This mummery, which is made as terrific as possible, being over, the unfortunate operative is bound to the union and its measures while it is allowed to exist. All this will be proved in evidence from the documents seized, and although it would require the evidence of an accomplice to prove the method by which the union resolves upon a murder,iehere is little doubt of the correctness of the state ment. It will be recollected that the Secretary of the Trades' Union and others were apprcnded on suspicion of being connected with the murder of Mr. Ashtoo, the cottor.- „Honer, of Hyde, but there was no evidence to show that the Union was at the bottom of the murder, notwithstand ing it was proved that the Morleys divided 101. between the three for the committal of the deed; but from whom they received it it is no: known to this day. Among the rules of the Sawyers' Union found in the club-box (a few only of which I have been enabled to get a sight of) are the following : "1. That every man who stands out again st his em ployer for the protection of the trade is to rece ive Is. Bd. per day from the union. " 2. That any town wishing to enter the union must apply to the General Representative Union for that pur pose, and the amount of the entrance-money is to be left to that body. " 3. That uo town shall make a stand for an advance of wages without the consent of the Representative Union. " 4. That any member of the Union lending tools to any illegal man, or men, shall forfeit the sum of 10s. 6d., and that each town is bound to find work for every legal man. "5. Any town applying to the 'Treasurer of the Repre sentative Union for relief, the town shall send a list of the nember of men on ttrike, and the Committee of Manage ment shall send a delegate to investigate the legality of the claim." From these rules, which I believe are the least ob noxious that they have, it appears that " the representa tive union" receives all and pays all. Similar rules to these were adopted in Ireland many years ago by the trade generally, the representative union sitting in London ; but the Irish operativet disliked sending their collections to England, and it consequently broke up the general con nection. It appears, however, from the sums received from Ireland that the sawyers of both countries continue to abide by the principle. A letter was also found in the Belton union-box from the secretary of " the Representative Union," whose name I suppress for particular reasons. From this it seems that the union has recently had a great demand upon its treasury, as it states, " owing to the great demands the Committee had to call for an additional es. per month, and also for the report, of the last levy in the different towns. This was considered necessary by the Comm:nee, in consequence of the expenses of the union having recently been so great." This was a printed circu'ar, signed by the Secretary, which had been transmitted through the post to the branch unions of sawyers throughout the United Kingdom. Four individuals have been committed for conspiracy, whose names are Thomas and James Hardwicke, Davis, and Williams. Peter Thompson, the man suspected of the murder of Cooper, bee been also committed for conspiracy, leaving it open for the police in the meantime to make every inquiry. Since that time Michael Weston, Jehn Bat low, John Lomax (the secretary of the Bolton Union). Thomas Wilde (secretary of the Rochdale Union), Robert Sutton, Robert Kenworthy, James Thorpe, Thomas Hos ted, W. Jarvis, Hugh Boyd, Patrick Tobin, John Buckley, William Shaw, and J. Marshall, have been brought before the magistrates of Ashton, and committed to the assizes for trial fur the conspiracy, with the exception of Michael Heaton and John Barlow, the former of whom was admitted 55 ~v i denoe, and the latter remanded on suspicion of murder until Monday next (Jan. 4.) Mr. Brandt, barrister, appearel before the Magistrates to prosecute the prisoners, and said that the charge against the prisoners was for conspiring together to harass and anno y the maste r saw y ers in carrying on their business, and and to injure assault journeymen sawyers, and to pre vent the masters from employing such workmen as they might choose. With respect to twelve of the party, the evidence would consist of overt acts showing that the par ties were following out a system of intimidation by picket ting an d para ding the streets in bodies, by visiting the yards of the masters for the purpose of seducing 104'0 called " knobsticks" from their work, and of employing to beat and ill treat those who refused to leave their work. The objects of the society are set forth in rules and resolution s which were formed at the same time. Many of the resolution s are adjudications up on strikes in different places, d ec l aring some to be legal and oth ers il legal (by which is meant in con f ormity or r • not with the rules of the club), and giving assistance or other wise to such strikes. Other s are directed against the use of ; and one of th e ru l es is, thatmembers of the union coming to any town shall not be o thrown out of employ" if they conform to the r u l es o f the club clearly that such person sheuld otherwise e thrown intimating out of ems , loy Now th e this rule, and a ll P •above resolutions, are illegal, and make every member o f guilty of an illegal conspiracy. such an association The Learned Gentlemen having concluded hi s speech o u f tion for and called his witnesses in support o f t h e pro Ta)lor,on behalf of Thomson, who is suspeetedee the murderer of Cooper, the sawyer, brought forwardbeinig e favour a woman named Whitehead, to prove an alibi. ;;tic said that on the I Ith of December, the day the mar_ der was COrfirriitted, Thompsoe was in her h ouse at Old_. bane nt four o'clock, and left a few minutes after six.

COUNCIL CHAMBER, WHITE- HALL. (Before Lord BROUGHAM, the VICE-CHANCELLOR, Mr. Justice ERSKINE, and Dr. LUSHINGTON.) KEILLEY V. CARSON AND OTHERS. Mr. PEmBERTON resumed his address yesterday on the part of the appellant, and cited many eases, in order to maintain his position that the Crown had no authority to give the power of commitment for breach of privilege to any Assembly of a Colony ob tained by settlement. It was only in modern colonies that this power had been called into action. In the islands of Antigua and Birbadoes it had lain dormant for 200 years. Mr. HlLL—That arose from their not having access to the Journals till late years. When they had such access, the power was found to be constantly exercised. Mr. PEMBERTON did not know how that was, but he submitted to their Lordship's that, according to the cases he had cited, the House of Assembly had ex ceeded their powers, and the appellant was entitled to his remedy by action. He then came to another view of he case—suppose the Assembly to have the powers they claimed, he would submit that they had exercised it illegally in this case. They had convicted the appellant without having summoned him be fore them—he did not hear one word of the evidence given against him ; in fact they had convicted without hearing him. It also appeared that the ap pellant had been kept one whole day in the custody of the Deputy of the Sergeant-at-Arms, without any warrant whatever. There were some other objections, hut they appeared to him to be more objections in form than in substance. He trusted that he had convinced their Lordships' minds thet in this case the House of Assembly had exceeded their powers, and that, there fore, the appeal would be allowed. Mr. HILL then opened his case for the respondents. Toe question for their Lordships to consider and de cide was, whether the Crown had not the power to grant a constitution in any of the colonies of this coun try which it pleased ? He believed that until yester day it had never been doubted, nor had any distinction been drawn between the power of an Assembly in a con quered colony and a settled one, in both the Crown had the power to make laws for their government until it was delegated to some other power. Such grants of power hod been made for hundreds of years, even from the time of Elizabeth, when they were gran'ed to the provinces which now formed the United States. Such grants had been made to a number of the islands of the West Indies, and had never before been questioned. The Assembly of Newfoundland was, therefore, a legal one, and must fuse the power inherent in all such as semblies, of repelling insult or injury. The Learned Gentleman quoted " Burke's History of the Settlement of Colonies" and the " American Archives," in order to show the manner in which the Assembly of Vir ginia had acted in a case similar to the present. one. The Learned Gentleman then quoted the case of Cook and M.Letn, who having been committed for contempt by the Assembly of Jr.maica, in 1766, sued out a writ of habeas corpus before the Governor, who was also Chancellor, and he discharged them. Repre sentations were made at home, and a new Governor was sent me, with , instructions to erase the decision of the Learned and Gallant Judge, as he had heard Governors so situated sometimes called. That was a strong ac knowledgment of the power of the Assembly by the home authorities. He had been furnished with many cases showing that the power of committal had heel exercised by nearly all the Assemblies of the West India Colonies, and had they gone further back, he had no doubt it would have been found that they had had the power and had exercised it from their first establish ment. He then quoted the judgment of Lord Ellen. borough, in the celebrated case of Burdett v. Abbot, to show that the power was inherent in supreme Legis latures, as essential to the proper discharge of their functions. His Learned Friend had talked of the dan ger of giving such power to so small a body ; but he would suppose another case of danger—the parties were not numerous—was it too much to fancy that it might be very important for the minority to keep the majority in custody, until some particular vote had been come to. Something like it had happened to the majority of one of the northern boroughs. The night before the election they were at home, but next morn ing they found themselves off the coast of Norway.— (A laugh.) The Learned Gentlemen then instanced the case of the Congress and Legislatures of the States, all of whom possessed the power, as necessary for the performance of their functions. Four o'clock having arrived, the Learned Gentleman was interrupted, and will resume his argument to-mer this day). row ( CENTRAL CRLIIINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER ) FRAUD AT THE CUSTOM-HOUSE.— William Qtlink/H was indicted for having forged a ce-taia bond on ti.e 27th of October last, in the parish of St. Dunstan in the East, with intent to defraud her Alljesty the Quet la of the revenue upon a hogshead of brandy bonded at the Custom-house. Mr. Adolphus and Mr. Bodkin canductud the prose cution, and Mr. Phillips and Mr. Clarkson appaared for the prisoner. Mr. ADOLPHUS having stated the case, called John Jennings—Witness is now in custody of the Governor of Newgate on a charge of felony. Had been a clerk in the employ of Mr. Goss, a ship chandler. There was an account between Mr. Goss and Mr. Everett, a lighterman. There was a negotiation between them about a hogshead of brandy. There was a con versation respecting it in the month of October last between Mr. Goss, the prisoner, and witness. It was to be shipped on board the brig James in the name of Richard Browne. It was at that time in bond at the Custom-house. It was necessary that a bond should be executed before it could be shipped. Prisoner told witness he had put in a bond in the name of Richard Browne. Witness gave directions for the preparation of the bond in the usual manner. Told Quinlan it was not signed. Quinlan said he would sign it. Prisoner and witness went together to the Long-room at the Cus tom-house, and witness went to attend to other business, leaving Quinlan there. There is a portion of the Long mont appropriated to the bonding business. Saw prisoner afterwards, who said he could go on with the shipping and pass the entries. Did what was necessary to ship the brandy, and it was shipped on board the James. After the brandy had been shipped, it was again brought out in bladders. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—Knew this was not an honest transaction. Participated in it, and shared the profits. Recei►ed one pound of the money produced by the sale of the brandy. Came out of Nesvgate this day to give his evidence. Was appre• beaded for a felony on Mr. Goss, and not for the par ticipation in the fraud. Expected he should save him self by giving evidence against Quinlan. Mr. Richard Browne was clerk of the bonding-office, in the long room at the Custom-house. Produced a bond note for the delivery of the goods after the bond had been filed. The signature to the note was in wit ness's writing. Richard Pearce Barlow—ls the clerk of the last witness ; was a subscribing witness to the bond ; knew it was duly executed, but could not remember the pre cise circumstances attending its execution. By the RECORDER—It was not usual to require any identification of the parties executing a bond. They acted upon a general power. Mr. James Goss—ls a provision-merchant. Prisoner was in his employ. Witness had an account with Mr. Everitt. The name Richard Browne, signed in the bond produced, ho believed to be the prisoner's handwriting. By Mr. Phillips—lt appeared to be in a disguised hand. William Morgan, clerk to the last witness, knows prisoner's handwriting, and believes the signature Rich , and Browne to have been written by him. Mr. Everitt is a lighterman. Had an account with Mr. Goss for lighterage. A delivery order for a hogs head of brandy had been left for him at his father's on 16th May last, and had been in his possession ever since. He afterwards met the prisoner, and asked him to prevail upon Mr. Goss to take it back, as his father was in some embarrassment, and the money would be of more use to him. The prisoner said he would ask his employer about it. Met him again about a week after wards, and he then said he had taken the brandy back. Witness replied " very well, let me have the money as soon as possible." He met the prisoner again on the 11th November, in the street, and asked him if he was Going to play the fool with him, to which prisoner said in nriepl " Everitt, take this ;" at the same time handing hiasyl. note and a sovereign, and added that he did not want any receipt, and that when he paid the remainder of the money he would take the delivery or.detro. see week afterwards he went to Mr. Goss 's th e parisner. Pr:soner sent word out by a servant that Mr. Goss was settling with a Captain inside. He then appointed to meet the prisoner, but prisonerGs b did not keep the appointmen t . On seeing Mr. quently, it appeared that t hat gentleman knew nothing . about the matter. Cross-examine I, d bya saw prisoner, told PI'S--Witness, t w .L o t u r i s d — g % o V a it n n ( e i ss s , ee tv A b l e r n . Goss upon the subject, upon which prisoner said, " You may go and be d—d." William Williams, City Police Constable 503, took the prisoner into custody on the 27th of November ia r s o t uce u and also On , searching two him empty foundbladders. in his pocket the paper p Mr. Goss having been recalled by the Recorder, stated that the prisoner had never informed him of any application of Everitt relative to the brandy. Mr. PIIILLIPPS, whethero th n e th ev e eoidenndceufocwrtatoshfe priso ner , a fter commenting severely stitiemn e n i l e n ri g t s, t p o u t b r i i t n t g o h t o h m e e Ju th ry e t p h E e ß o h ff a e n v i e n e g t oSummed i ° Li n ; r the evidence, the Jury, after a short deliberation, acquitted the prisoner. The prisoner was again indicted with William Thorn hill, (who surrendered to take his trial) for stealing a quantity of brandy, the property of Mr. James Goss. Mr. BODKIN appeared for the prosecutor. • Mr. PHILLIPS defended Quinlan, and Mr. CLARKSON de fended Thornhill. The facts of the case were of a similar character to the last. The principal evidence was that of the ac complice, and at an early stage of the case, it appeared that the charge could not be substantiated against Quinlan, and the case against 'Thornhill was alone pro ceeded with. It appeared that a similar " bond" to that mentioned in the last case, had been made use of, by virtue of which the brandy was got on board the James, and taken abroad. The RECORDER made some inquiry of one of the clerks of the Custom-house, in reference to " bonds" of this description, which led to some rather important dis closures. It should be explained that when brandy is in bond, if the owner desires to remove it for exportation, he has to fill up a bond, and give sureties to the Government that the brandy shall be really exported, or else that the duty shall be paid. It appears that these bonds are given to any one who applies for them ; that not the least inquiry i 3 made as to the responsibility of the parties pretending to be sureties, and that these bonds are filled up in great numbers as a mere matter of course, and orders for the delivering of the goods made out upon them. The RECORDER remarked, that it was not for him to find fault with arty system adopted in a public office ; but he could not help thinking, after what had been stated, that the Government derived very little protec tion to its revenue by such bonds as those which had been referred to. Mr. BODKIN said that there were many other for malities to be gone through before the goods could be taken out of bond. The RECORDER said co doubt there were, but oo the outset it appeared that any one who chose could go to the Custom-house, and assume a right to any pro perty in the Docks, and could, without any inquiry, give a hoed with sureties totally destitute of respectabi lity, and so obtain the property of others. Mr. Cr.aaxsorr addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoner Thornhill, and called a number of highly-re spectable witnesses, who gas e him a most excellent character. The RECORDER summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict of Nut Guilty against both prisoners. NEW COURT. HORSE STEALING.--Inn. Mil/CT, a well-dressed man, was indicted for stealing, on the 12th September last, a gelding, value 251., a chaise, value 301., and a scat of harness, value 31,, the property of Richard Chatmon. On the application of Mr. CLARKSON the prison( r was permitted to withdraw his plea of not guilty and confess judgment ; the Learned Clunsel at the time observing, that. the pros:cutor appealed inclined to re commend the prisoner to mercy ; hence he hoped the Court would pa•s a sentence short of transportation. prosecu• or stated that he had obtained his pro perty, but when the prisoner obtained possession he was an entire stranger. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN said that he had looked into the depositions, and the case assumed a serious aspect ; and there was no one here to tell who and what the pri soner was. Mr. CLARKSON said he was from Bristol, and he could prove by an indenture that he had served his ap prenticeship there. After conferring again with the prisoner the Learned Gentleman s lid that he was about to make an extraordinary application—it was, to pray the Court, at the request of his client, that it would pass a sentence of transportation. The Learned JUDGE then sentenced the young man to be transported be)ond the seas for the term of ten yev.rs. _ _ . Mr. CLARKSON hoped that he would not be sent to the most penal settlement. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN replied that he would speak to the Sheriffs, and he had no doubt but the convict would be dealt with as favourably as possible. POLICE CORktECTIONELLE. EMEUTE INTHE PARVIS NOTRE DAME. On the Bth of November last a grave collision took place between the agents of authority and about forty individuals forming part of a rassemblement tumultuctix which about half-past seven in the evening took posses sion of the Parvis Notre Dame. This is the precise spot in which the outlaws and beggars in Victor Hugo's celebrated romance assembled to invade the sacred edifice. The Marseillaise, the Chant du Depart, &c., were sung in chorus, the most dangerous seditious cries were raised, showers of stones were flung, some blood flowed, and, but that a large force of sergens de ville speedily arrived on the spot, the most deplorable scenes might have ensued. Four men named Jourdain, Terrier, Coiffler, and Fougerolles, chiefly masons and stonecutters, were to day charged with taking part in the above disturbance. A great number of sergens de ville appeared as wit nesses against them. The first of these examined was a brigadier, named Louis Philippe Boussin. He de posed as follows :—" On the Bth of November we were directed to disperse a crowd assembled on the Parvis Notre Dame. Upon our arrival we perceived two groups, which we endeavoured to separate, and which soon took to flight. At this moment I was informed that some of the agents were in close quarters with the in surgents, and a passer-by told me that a sergent de villa had been seriously wounded. I ran up the Rue d'Arcole in pursuit of an individual, who was pointed out to me as having wounded the agent, and I succeed ed in making him prisoner. President—Who was this? Witness—lt was the young man at the bar, named Terrier, but when I laid hold of Terrier, a great bull dog near me bit me in the leg, which forced me to let go Terrier, as I found I could not manage both Terrier and the bull•dog at once.—(Laughter. The meaning of the word " terrier" being the same in French and English.) Terrier then ran off again. I followed close on his heels, and the hull dog close on mine, so that I was at once engaged with dog and man. At last I suc ceeded in arresting Terrier at the moment of his cross ing the Petit Pont. At the same time I heard voices shouting in the direction of the Rue d'Arcole, " Aux armcs !" and I saw a shower of stones in the air. Had you made dcs summations prcalablcs ?—( Anal ogous to our reading the Riot Aet.)—No, Sir ; we had no Commissary of Police with us. A portion of the crowd hustled me on the bridge, and Terrier again made his escape. But I hare at length succeeded in effect ing his arrest. President—Are you quite certain as to Terrier's identity ?—Perfectly sure- President—Terrier, you hear the deposition of the witness. What have you to state in reply ? Terrier—The witness is deceived. I found myself at the Parvis by chance ; I sly , ' a group, in the midst of whom were some sergens de ville, who struck at all around them. I received some blows amongst the rest. I then fled. A sergent de ville ran after me sword in hand, and when he got within reach of me, he seized his weapon by the point, and hit me with the hilt a violent blow upon the head- I fell to the earth, bathed in my blood. Then the sergent de ville, putting the point of his sword to my throat, said, " Si its fais un mouvement,tu est mort !" Other sergens de ville came up afterwards, and they also struck me. At last they took me up, and accused me of having made my dog bite one of the sergens, and having flung a stone at another. It's all false. I never had a dog. You may inquire about my " morality," if you please. Boussin—l never said that the dog was your pro perty, but you set him at me. King's Advocate—When you were arrested on the biidge, you held a stone in your left hand ? Terrier—Cela n'est past Boussin—l saw you drop it when I came up. King's Advocate—What were you doing at that hour on the Parvis Notre Dame ? ,Terrier-1 was taking a walk, to be sure. King's Advocate—That answer will not satisfy us. Terrier—As .it was very cold, my feet were chill blained, and I began to walk to warm them, the more especially as I had the toothache (this niaserie caused considcrab!e merriment). It was thus that I happened to reach the Parris Notre Dame. The scrgent says that he saw me let tall a stone which 1 held in my hand. Eh Glen ! let him show it. (The prisoner pronounced this with much energy, imagining that the point would indisputably save him.) King's Advocate—The prisoner must be aware that it is impossible to prove the identity of the stone. He must know that nothing resembles one stone so much as another stone, unless perhaps it be an egg to an egg.— (Laughter.) You also held in your hand an iron punch. Whence did that come ? Terrier—l found it stuck in a cork a few days before. A sergent de ville ❑amed Duval, deposed to his hav ing seen Terrier wound his comrade Cliamoin in the head. He knew nothing of the three other prisoners. Terrier had resisted, but not violently. Terrier—lt was impossible for me to resist. I lay almost dead under the blow I bad received. I had fainted away. President—ls it true that Terrier had blood upon his face ? Witness—There was a little on his head. Terrier— Utz petz ! jolintent beaucoup. Lotot, another sergint, deposed to Terrier having been running with great rapidity at the moment of his arrest. _ President—lf you were "dead," Terrier, according to your own expression, you ran very quickly, for a corpse.—( Laughter.) Terrier—l was not struck until after they had ar rested me. The witness declared that ho had not seen Terrier struck at all. Terrier—There were several of you follms ing me at once. The nearest sergent cried out, "Arrete, coquin on je to passe mon epee on travers du corps. I conti nued to fly. It was then he took his sword by the point, and struck me with the hilt. The blow made me so ill that I was obliged to go the hospital, w h ere I was ordered Got baths. . Nodicr atruCh at all. It was unnecessary, he alleged, to resort to ex treme force, since they were three against one, Terrier—The witness lies. lam an honest man, mei. I weir on 3e more that he struck me. Chamoin, another sergent de vile, deposed as fol lows :—When we came up to disperse the crowd, we remarked a small group at the corner of the Rue d'Arcole. There were stones flying in that direction. I advanced alone, and followed a young man, who took to flight. ' I arrested him. He held in his right hand a stone with which he struck me several times in the stomach. But that did me no harm.—(Laughter.) In my.struggle with him my hat fell to the ground. I stooped, and he hit me on the head with the same stone. The blow stunned me, and I let go. [The witnesses's head appeared to have b2cn softer than his stomach.] President—Can you point out the person who struck you ? Witness—lt was Terrier. Terrier lustily denied this ; but the sergent as lustily persisted in his stat2ment. The sergent added that the stone made " a hole in his head." Another witness deposed to his having arrested the prisoner Fougerolles in the Rue d'Arcole, while he was is the act of crying "Aux armes !" and gesticulating violently. The Tribunal sentenced Terrier to four months' im prisonment (a more perfect specimen of a Parisian gamin it would be difficult to find) ; Fougerolles was sentenced to three days' imprisonment ; and the complaint against the two other prisoners was dismissed for want of evidence.

RAISING OF THE BLOCKADE OF THE COAST OF SYRIA. • The following copy of a letter, addressed by her Bri tannic Majesty's Consul- General at Constantinople to the British merchants resident there, has been transmitted to Lloyd's by their agents at that place:— " Copstantinople, Dec. 7, 1840. " Gentlemen,—l have been requested by his Excellency the Ambassador to inform you, that he has received frosts his Excellency the Ottoman Minister for Foreign Affairs ea official notification, stating that, in consequence of the definitive occupation of the Coast of Syria by the troops his Imperial Majesty the Sultan, the Sublime Porte has ordered the blockade of the forts and eschelles of that coast to be raised. " I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, " Your obedient servant, (Signed) "JOHN CARTWRIGHT. " To the British Merchants. " Consul General.' A NEW MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.—A Rock Harmonicon, formed of stones found in the neighbourhood' of Skiddaw, and played upon by the discoverer's three SOIOO is now performing at Liverpool. The Whitehaven Herald says --" The inventor of this strange work of art is a pleils Cumberland yeoman, from near Keswick, and the rude materials from which he contrives to extract the most Cll chanting harmony are nothing more than a collection of slates or stones from the more unfrequented parts of the! mighty Skiddaw. These are arranged in such a manner as to enable three persons to beat upon them at the same time with small wooden mallets; and this is accomplished with so much dexterity and skill, as to distil from the rudest possible materials the most rich and delightful In' lody of sweet sounds that car ever heard, or imaginatiort can conceive. The effect is perfectly magical. and the listener stands entranced and wonder-struck. Men of utl doubted musical science have inspected this novel MAO. me it, and have given a most flattering opinion of the vrerlt wh eh the inventor has achieved, and also of its vas: ca' PATENT LEVER GOLD WATCHES Lady's size, with strong engine-turned double-backed gol d cases, elegant gold dials, Fourteen Guineas each.
