EVENING SUN RETIREMENT of LORD ABINGER. Many have been the rumours respecting the .retirement of Lord Abinger from the Bench. 7Virst of all he was to retire in favour of his son-in-law, the late Attorney-General; that proved false. Since the accession of the pre sent Government to office, the Conservative press has stated unhesitatingly that his Lord ship was to retire in order to make room for S',r Frederick Pollock, so that Sir William Follett might be enabled to relieve Lord Lynd hurst. But to-day it appears in the Govern ment organ in all the dignity of a first leader, and apparently upon authority, that the Noble Lord has actually " intimated" Ws wish for retirement, in the proper quarter. .All former rumours have been falsified by the lapse of time. We have, therefore, only to deal with that which appears in the Post of yesterday ; and we are fully authorised to give it a flat contra /fiction. The Noble Lord has never even contem plated retiring from the Bench, far less has he " intimated" any wish to that effect to the Government. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TILE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—While the wretched man who suffered this morning was yet living, we forbore from stating the opinion we hold in favour of the execution of the ex treme sentence of the law. We have even admitted arguments on the opposite side into our columns. But there is no reason for further reserve of our own opi siert, or of the grounds of it. Let it be shown Ito us that there is no terror in canital punishment for brutal natures, and none will be more anxious than ourselves for its abolition. If there is any such terror excited—any such sense of the force of law, and the certainty of its execution, as to make those pause whom no moral abhorrence would withhold from the deed of murder or violation—capital executions are justified. They are justified in the eyes of all except of that respected society in whose eyes war is not justified, even in national self-defence. Why the possibility, or even the certainty, of a murderer, a ravisher, a traitor or two, suffering on the scaffold, at considerable intervals, should excite such a vast deal of sympathy as to drown all sympathy for their victims, and absorb all care or concern for the millions of inno cent citizens whom the rare severities of the law secure, in some measure, from crimes of violence during those intervals—we are unable to explain, except from similar perversions of feeling to those which make sympathisers with Jack Sheppard, or hero-worshippers of Guy Fawkes. We say, without hesitation, that except in the case of " Friends," who arc consistent in this doc trine—and of a few speculative and phrenological phi lanthropists (whom we way notice some other time). we believe that what really is at the root of most of the outcry against all death punishment, is a lurking hostility to the social system as it exists. We do not mean to impute this as criminal, or to stigma tise any of the opponents of capital punishments, but we do mean to say that such feelings operate and are highly dangerous. Flow else does it happen that such extreme tenderness of human life in the case of criminals, is so often accompanied with such utter in difference to it, when destroyed in the way of " wild justice," as it has sometimes been termed, or of wholesale massacres, when those have been made on popular pretexts ? We distrust some of this popular philanthropy ; we believe it to be one-sided. It be longs to the age of " bowie-knives," and dastard dag gers " for xll:defence." We distrust it ; we do indeed —we have seen its " uprising," and are "acquainted with its ways." We should expect to meet it at a minor theatre, gloating on scenes of mixed outrage and licentiousness, and enjoying the mimic murders which it 'can't bear to see punished in earnest. We should ex pect to meet it in scenes more serious' were the terrors of law, and the bonds of order, relaxed in the degree which philanthropists of this sanguine complexion call for. STANDARD.—The appointment of a Bishop of the United Church of England and Ireland to exercise episcopal functions within certain limits of the Levant is atu event too important to pass unheeded or un laenented by the enemies of our venerable Establish tricot. We find the Spectator and the Morning , C.lironicle already drawing from it the darkest pre. sages and the worst consequences. As far as English men arc concerned, we apprehend little evil from all that our Coatemporaries can say ; but as some of their remarks are calculated to excite the jealousy of foreigners by surmising it, a few words of explanation may be - useful. The Church of England, though happily established in these islands, is, in the belief of con scientious Churchmen, something more and some thing infinitely higher than a mere temporal establish ment. It is a body of Christians spiritually united by eue adoption of a common faith and a common form of aiiscipline. in this view, if the Church disclaims all 'civil authority on the one side, as all its sober members do, it can acknowledge no local limits on the other. What is true, and decent, and orderly in England and Ireland, must preserve the same charac teristics every where ; and we are not to withhold the benefit of the blessing from others who may seek it, thougla separated from us by the accident of place or the accident of diffarent civil institutions. " Show me," said the late Mr. Howells, of Long-acre Chapel," a man who would be contented to go to Heaven alone, and I will 'show you a man who will never go there." Plato had said the same thing before, though in a less lioraely style. If we believe the system of the Church of England—understanding by the word system the compound of creed and ecclesiastical discipline—the best calculated for the religious improvement of man—and that we do is proved by oar adoption of this system—we are surely bound gis let all mankind participate in it if they please ; rmore especially bound to secure its advantages to :all who are entitled to them, as Englishmen are by right .of birth. The title of Bishop A , exander, as a Bishop of the United Church in Jerusalem, ought, one would think, to have rendered unnecessary any caveat against the suggestion of any of those objections that are offered—ought to have obviated the parallel of the Irish Roman Catholic Prelates' claim to be Bishops of certain dioceses in Ireland. Tile King of Bel gium was a few months ago kin!: in England, and no doubt during his visit to hie Royal Niece he may have exercised some acts of Royalty in this country— though certainly not in relation to the Eng !jell neople—in relation to his own subjects. Tile Intimendence of England was surely not invaded by either his Majesty's presence or his acts. On the other hand we are all gratified by the pre sence of a Prince who in other times had taught us to respect and love him, and who, by his visit, added to the enjoyment s of • our bsl ed Ci ices. There is, too, another and an important differ ence in the cases of the new Bishop in Je xuaaletn, and the Irish Romanist Bishops. Bishop ~A.lexaader has sworn no obedience, civil or R y i eclV,iaStiCal. t o any authority in England, ' and by staking the late Act be i s exonerated from l the necessity of even the oath o f a ll eg i ance. that he is a British subj ect . The Ra man t mere Catholic i d p e , r t., t is hops of the several dioc eses i n Ireland, are, on the ,othor hand, strictly sworn to a civil and ecclesiastical 'obedience to the See of Rome, and must ba taken fro m NteC. trained in the most submissiv e serv i ce to that See XXTRA.ORDINARY OY MURDER BY - A B On Saturday last John Smith, aged nine years, ne years, wis went by his father, a of baker, saot f r .o e r ,, d i d i_n i s i z . :o7, Edward Kearsey, .mile, with a basket of cakes for sale ; whilst on his -way thither, George Barber, aged ten years, aceern. hi parried him (as 1 h as since confessed) to Sh ot f ord- ' bridge, which crosses the river Waveney; here th e b oys loitered, and Smith upon and sat astride the p ara . .. got pet wall thereof. i n that position, Barber took one of the cakes from Wh t it hlseba his father, and immedi et and ate it, when Smith cried, and said he would te ll ately Barber pushed him off the bridge and ran away ; this took place between four 'The evening closing in, and ,:ad five o'clock, P.M. the child Smith not Makin; his appearance, his parent s became exceedingly anxious about him. Search was made for him imme dietely ; truly he had not been at Mr. Keergey's, although expected there. The fe.ilowing day and Mon -4l ay the river was carefully searched, but n othing was found to bear out the supposition that he was drowned. On the latter day towards evening a basket wisbrough by a female to the elder Smith, who immediatelyi re cognized it to be the cake basket his son had with him ton Saturday ; it had been found in a shed upw ards ef two miles distant from Shotford-bridge, near an Far m, in p a th l ea ding to Skeet's Mere in the parish of Needham. Information was given on Monday that the boys had been seen together ton Saturday afternoon, and Barber's habit.; being very 'irregular, having previously absented himself from home several days together (arising, it is reported, from the extreme negligence of his father-in-law, Rogsby), imme diate steps were taken to find him, which was soon ac complished, he having returned home that morning. He denied havin g any knowledge about the boy Smith ; but afterwards the parish constable of Pulliam (Rogaby, the father-in-law, residing in that parish), extorted a confession from him, that he did ac company the deceased to the bridge, that he pushed Lim into the water, and then ran away ; that he ate the remainder of the cake , , and slept in the shed on Sa turday night where the basket was found. The body was found on Tuesday, and an inquest held thereon the same day before J. Muskett, Esq., Coroner, and after two hours' deliberation the Jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against George Barber, who was imme diately comaeitted to the Castle to take his trial at the 5ext,,a4,..-..-.ATovfollc Chronicle. .A • LiK • ', •!..

The Margaret steamer arrived on Friday night at ' Falmouth—from Gibraltar, 4th inst. ; Cadiz, sth ; Lis bon, Bth ; Oporto, 9th ; and Vigo, 10 th. LISBON, Nov. B..—The draught of the new Treaty, proposed some time ago by this Government, and re jected by Lord Palmerston, has been sent back, with 1 alterations, by Lord Aberdeen. I understand it arrived, by the Margaret steam-packet, on the 30th ult. From what I can learn, it appears that his Lordship consents to give up all the remaining privileges enjoyed by British residents in this country, including that of hav ing a Conservatorial Court for the decision of all judi cial cases in which they may be concerned, and that uo exclusive advantage to British trade over that of other foreign nations is to be stipulated for. The basis of the Treaty is to be the principle of reciprocity, according to which the trade of each of the two coun tries is, within the territories of the other, to be placed on a perfect footing with that of the most favoured nation. It is proposed that, under certain restrictions, the British colonies shall be open to direct Por tuguese trade, provided Portugal be willing to recipro cate in the same way. Those restrictions are, however, of a nature to render the concession offered by England of little value. Portuguese vessels are to be allowed to convey all except illicit articles to our colonies ; but wine and brandy are all that Portugal can export in that direction, and they both come under the head of illicit articles, inasmuch as they cannot, by the existing Acts of Parliament, be introduced into any of the British colonies (properly so called) but in British vessels—Gibraltar, to which the rule does not apply, being, strictly speaking, not a colony, but a military station. The only benefit, therefore, that Portuguese vessels might derive from it would be, by taking salt to Newfoundland and bringing back cargoes of fish, and in this way certainly they could interfere greatly to the prejudice of our shipping. The amended draught is at present under consi deration with this Government, and will probably be sent back with further alterations tending to the greater advantage of Portugal, particularly as regards the opening of the British colonies to Portu guese trade. With the further details of the proposed treaty I am unacquainted, but I believe the above are its leading features. The English residents here are not much pleased with the prospect of losing their few re maining privileges ; and I really cannot see why they should be so quietly given up, unless it be to punish the parties for their flagrant abuse of them during the Miguelite contest, when the privileges in question, by screening the persons and property of the Liberals, were used as a lever for the overthrow of Don Miguel. They are dissatisfied, too, with the arrangements said to have been proposed respecting trade, as they justly consider that, all circumstances taken into account, England has a right to claim from Portugal, not only an equal, but a far greater degree of favour than is accorded by the latter to any other nation. But the omission to secure this advantage will become of no sort of consequence, if once we succeed in making a commercial treaty with Spain, by which that country shall admit our manufac tures at a reasonable scale of duties. Such a treaty would be virtually a death-warrant to this country, and would soon bring upon it the doom it has richly de served for its churlish commercial policy. We need not, in such case, trouble ourselves to ship any goods direct to Portugal, as we shall be able to smuggle them in from Spain. A reflux of the contra band trade, from the latter back to the former, will follow of course, and this country will not only lose the duties on the goods, as well as the intermediate profits on the smuggling traffic, so long and so profitably carried on, but will be loft without anything to counteract the drain of coin consequent upon the clandestine introduc tion of Spanish wheat constantly going on across the border, and will moreover be inundated with English goods to a far greater extent than at present. The f . Portuguese then will see their folly when it will be too late to remedy its evil effects. As, however, we ' have cot yet a treaty with Spain, there could be no harm in making " assurance doubly sure," by se curing a good one with Portugal. • The Budget was approved of by the Deputies on the Gth, without any discussion, by 60 votes to 12.

We have received a Malla Chronicle of the 29th ult., and a private letter of the 30th, brought to Naples by the Acheron steamer. which conveyed thither from Malta Lord and Lady Pm-monby, and the Noble Lord's Secretary, Mr. Percy Doyle. The following article is from the Malta Chronicle : " In our late article on the quarantine regulations we were accidentally led into error respecting the period caber the existing arrangements of which we com plained were entered into. On further inquiry we !cam that they were adopted in 1826, in consequence of an arrangement with the Continental Powers. An tecedent to that time, it will be reaollected, this island did not enjoy pratique with the Continent, in conse quence of the plague having existed here some years before. It appears that Lord Hastings, then Governor of Malta, was instructed by the Bri tish Ministry to ascertain cn what terms an arrangement for taking the island out of quarantine could be effected. It is needless to advert to miner de tails, but the result was, that one of the stipulations required that the sea-time of no ships—not even men of war—should count. This irksome and utterly use less condition was unfortunately agreed to, and the con sequence has been the growth of those anomalies which we lave felt it our duty to point out. The great incon venience of the regulation alluded to has no doubt al ways been felt ; but it is oel toe recent cxtensk e em ployment of steam navigation which has brought mat ters to a crisis of absurdity no longer tolerable. We arc sure, indeed, that a far more enlightened as well as enlarged spirit on the subject of quarantine has of late years been gradually springing up in all countries, ex cept, perhaps, in one, which need na t be named. We announced in our last number that the imposi tion of 25 days' quarantine from the Black Sea was to be reduced to tea on English vessels in English ports, And on French and Sardinian vessels in their ports. But nothing., as we understood, had been agreed on as to the right of foreign ships arriving at ports not of their own nation. " The Government of Malta, we are led to telieve, in that true spirit of commercial liberality and good sense which is the best promoter of national prosperity, have decided to take the initittive in this matter, by admitting not only vessels under the English flag to the advavt tee of the above-mentioned reductien of qua rantine, but I.kewise those of all other nations. 0: course such vessels must be duly qualified by a com p:ianee with the terms of the enactment. " This is as it should be ; and we venture to the incident, trivial though it tally seem—as the commence ment of a new era is our quarantine poliey—than which, Heaven knows, nothing in the history of the intercourse of nations requires more ‘igcrous revision There is good reason, we rejoice to say, for hoping that France ln:s at length opened her eyes to this matter— and if, as we trust she does, she desires, in good faith, to get rid of a'l unnecessary quarantine embarassments, she will cheerfully co-operate with England. " Since the above article was in type we have learned with much regret that some practical difficulties have occurred which prevent the immeliate admission of the vessels of all nations to the benefits of the diminished quarantine. We feel so confident, however, that the difficulties alluded to must he merely technical, and as such will be speedily removed, that we do not consider it necessary to weaken so good a cause by postponing our remarks. The disposition of our Government is to act wisely, and therefore we feel sure that sooner or later the thing will be done."

The Committee assembled yesterday with smiling faces, and congratulated each other upon the immense sale of ticket=, which took place on Saturday and that day. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Peacock) announced that the music-shops at the west-cod of the town had sent for a fresh supply of tickets, and that lie had himself re ceived, in some instances, double the advertized charge for the double admissions. New regulations were con sidered necessary and adopted, in consequence of the increased demand, but it was thought more advisable to adopt the expedient of raising the price of the tickets, according to the suggestion of Mr. Anderton on the last day of meeting, than to admit a greater number than could lie properly accommodated. Lord DUDLEY STUART rejoiced in the prospect of a large accession to the funds for the support of the Poles, and spoke in the most grateful terms of the ready and powerful assistance yielded by the press, and the charming alacrity with which Miss Adelaide Kemble offered her attractive services to the Commit tee. When waited upon, that young lady, although informed by one of her family that she had an engage ment for the 17th instant, said at once, " 1 don't care about engagements ; I shall most certainly give up all to go to Guildhall." His Lordship gave in a long list of names to be added to that of the patrons and patronesses. While the Committee were sitting, a messenger ar rived from the French Ambassador for ten tickets, and several other orders were received from most of the Ambassadors. The present exertions of the Commit tee have this singular feature, that in no one instance has a ticket been returned. Indeed, independently of the noble purpose to which the profits are to be ap ple 3, the attractions will be so great in every respect that even the ball and concert which immediately fol lowed the Queen's visit to Guildhall falls far short of the expectations of the Committee as regards the ap proaching scene of the 17th instant. Miss Adelaide Kemble is to sing two Italian soles, and take part in a piece of music in which she obtained great applause in the opera of Norma. She is to be supported by Miss Rainforth, Miss. Birch, Miss Steele, Miss Lucombe, Miss Porter, and Miss Galbraith ; and Signors Begrez and Ferrari, and Messrs. Jolly, Rens ford, Leffler, Fitzwilliam, Atkins, &c. - The concert will, it is calculated, occupy in intervals of the evening, nearly three hours. There are to be solos performed on the flute, violin, and violoncellos. Mr.Lowes's splendid gas apparatus is to be introduced. STATE OF TRADE IN GLASGOW. (From the Renfrewskire Reformer.) We regret that it is not in our power this week to announce any change for the better in the state of trade. The number of the unemployed is still considerably on the increase, and the portion of them broken down by protracted suffering, who are obliged to apply to the Relief Committee for subsistence, bears a still greater ratio than formerly, to those thrown out of work. The following was the state of the list up to last ni;iit . . . . 1,620 Dependents . . 4,045 --5,565 Females in Soup Kitchen . 1,057 Dependents . . . '2,114 --3,171 Total 8,836 We hays thus upwards of another thousand depend ents added during the week to those formerly on the list ; but what is even worse, the weaving population, in the adjoining villages, is also breaking down, being unable longer to maintain themselves from want of em ployment. In the village of Kilbarchan this is parti cularly the case, and at the meeting of the C3unty Committee on Thursday, a great portion of the time of that body was taken up regarding the sudden altera tion in the condition of the inhabitants of that village, and in allotting, in proportion to the amount of the dis tress, a sum of money for the relief of those in want. As a proof that in that place the distress is even worse than in Paisley, in proportion to the population, we may just add, that the whole inhabitants in the village of Kilbarchan is 2,382, of whom no less than 683, nearly one-third, have been obliged to throw them selves on the Relief Committee, lately formed there, for existence. The follovang are the particulars of their cases, as submived to the county Committee ; and, when the number relieved there is added to those of Paisley, it gives a total of no less than 9,519 persons in a state of utter destitution, independent of those in Johnstone and Barrhead.

Lawrence Heyworth, Esq., and Mr. Robert Jones, of Liverpool, who were making a temporary stay in Dewsbury, having been requested by a number of influ ential individuals to lecture here on the chose subjects, agreed to do so, and placards announcing th it the in tended lecture would take place on Thursday evening, last, in the Wesleyan school-room, were posted through out the town and neighbourhood about a week ago. So long a period could not elapse without all parties being well apprised of ir. 'Tae Chartists determined to op pose the Repeaters, and held a meeting at their room to consider how they should proceed to act. A silk wea ver of the name of West was employed for this purpose, who, accompanied by a large body of Chartists., accord inly met at the above pfAce, eager for discussion ; some time before the Repeaters arrived, some consultation ensued between the parties as to whether or not such discussion should tak^ place. Tim Corn-law Repeaters at 1 ist consented. Benjamin Wilson, Esq., of Mir lien, then briefly introduced Lawrence Heyworth, Esq., but no sooner was this done than the Chartists com menced an interruption, and amid a noisy contention ino.ted that two chairmen should be appointed, one for each party, which proposition was seconded and even tually carried, the Chartists proposing Mr. Ephraim Clarke as theirs, which proposition was also wiopted. The business of the meeting was, however, not allowed to proceed,except on condition that the Repeaters would agree that each speaker should occupy not more than half an hour at a time, which they readily acceded to. Silence and ordar having been restored, Lawrence Hey worth, Esq., was introduced, whose address was marked by great calmness and strength of reasoning, and eluci dated by many familiar illustrations and anecdotes, the recital of which elicited touch applause. He was suc ceeded by Mr. West, who contended that the only re dress for the present grievances of this country was the people's Charter. Mr. Jones next spoke, who, being a working man, his remarks were listened to with much interest. In the abstract, both the lecturers perfectly coincided with the views of Mr. West, as to the primary evil existing in class legislation, but they were by no means disposed to wait for a repeal of the bread tax until Universal Suffrage became the law of the land.— Leeds Times. RESISTANCE TO BAD LAWS. It is by means of resistance to bad laws that noble, high-souled men have been enabled to advance the sacred cause of truth, and to give emancipation and liberty to their fellow men. It Was by this means that almost every step in the history of human progress has been achieved and ma'ntained. The Corn-law, for instance, is proved to destroy life, to increae crime, to restrict trade, to limit industry, to diminish comfort, to interrupt the progress of knowledge and civilization, and to inflict incalculable injury upon all the industrious classes of the people. Let the people once declare in a voice which is not to be mistaken, that these laws are wicked, cruel, destructive, and as such ought to be abolished, and the Government which refuses to do so, virtually drives the people to the only means by which they may escape their operation, namely, resistance. When that period arrives—when the starved classes refuse longer to be starved, and the plundered classes refuse longer to be plundered—then the real rebels are not the sufferers who would cast off the injustice, but the " privileged" Few who would prolong and extend it. Already re bels to reason, to morality, and to religion, they are then rebels to soc i a l compact , r ebels to the first prin ciples of political government, re b e ls to the deep - rooted instincts and feeli ngs o f h uman i t y itself.--Leeds No POVERTY IN AMERlCA.—Throughout the prodigious expanse of that country, I saw some very poor women ; but God and man know that the time has not come for %rumen to make their injuries even heard ot: I saw no beggars but two professional onef,, who are making their fortunes in the streets of Washington.

In January, 1817, Mr. Mann, the defendant, appearing to be the owner of a real estate, borrowed the sum of 600/. of Mr. John Pidsley, and for the purpose of se curing that sum, and in consideration thereof, he con veyed the estate in question on trust for sale for its re payment. It was afterwards discovered that this estate had been the subject of a settlement on the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Mann, and had been thereby conveyed to Roger Steer and others, on trust to pay thereout an an nuity of 1001. to Sarah Susannah Mann, for her separate use and life, then on trust for the joint lives of Mann and his wife, and to pay over the surplus to Mr. Mann, his executors and assigns, and for other trusts therein mentioned. On the discovery of this settlement, a deed was executed on the 10th of November, 1818, whereby it was agreed that Mr. Pidsley should advance the fur ther sum of 3451., which, together with the 6001., should be secured by a settlement of the annuity of 100/. to Mrs. Mann, and of the interest of the husband therein. Mr. Bowring was appointed receiver of the estate, and from time to time paid Mr. Pidsley certain sums on ac count of interest thie to him on his advances, but no part of the principal. Mr. Pidsley died in 1826, and Mr. Bowring in 1827, and after the death of the latter, whose executors paid a small portion of the principal, Mr. Luke was appointed receiver. No farther sum, how ever, was paid on account of principal or interest, and a bill was filed to have the rents secured for payment of the mortgage. After the bill was filed, Mr. Mann took the benefit of the Insolvent Act, and his assignees were made parties to the bill. It having been referred to the Master to inquire what was due on the mortgage, the Master reported that 1,2101. was due thereon, and ap plication was now made for an order to sell the estate for payment of the mortgage and interest with costs. Mr. Pemberton appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. ICindersley for the defendant. The MASTER of the RoLLs directed the foreclosure of the mortgage. ELLIS V. GRIFFITHS. This suit was instituted 1J37 the plaintiff to establish his security on an estate that had been encumbered by a gentleman named Griffiths. Mr. Griffiths made two mortgages to parties represented by the plaintiff, and subsequently several other mortgage deeds were executed by him. A suit being instituted for foreclosure, and a dispute having arisen among the mortgagees re specting the priority of their claims, the matter was in the year 1839 referred to the Master, who reported that the mortgages of the plaintiff were entitled to the priority. The present application was for a confirmation of the Masters' report. - The application not being opposed, the report was confirmed, and a decree made for foreclosure. RICHARDSON V. RICHARDSON The COURT was occupied for a considerable time to day in arranging the minutes of a decree in the above suit, which was instituted by one of the executors of Mr. Christopher Robinson, timber merchant, who died possessed of a bonded timber yaid at Liinehouse, and other real and personal property, which he devised to his son, subject to various charges in favour of other children and relations. After the testator's death, his son suc ceeded him in his business, and made various payments on account of the bequests in his father's will, and also sundry charges on the property left by his fa ther, in favour of his sister, and a gentleman named Walker. He subsequently became bankrupt, and the present suit was instituted by Mr. Frederick Robinson, one of the executors, whose wife was a legatee under the will, fur the purpose of having the necessary accounts taken. In consequence of the bankruptcy the accounts had become very complicated, and the minutes of the decree were too voluminous for insertion. The evidence in proof of the misconduct of the boy was then read over. It stated that the apprentice having acquired such a knowledge of the business to which he was bound, as to be of value to his master, in stead of paying proper attention to his duties, was in the habit of leaving the house for six or seven consecutive days, and showed a most dangerous example to the other apprentices, by ;citing them to acts of disobe dience and insubordination. Whenever he took it into ,- his head he walked away, bidding' defiance t° h is m°l4. " ar, and was evidently acting under the th2,"ressi°p fiat the Lord Mayor had no power to act in suer a 'case, that the indentures were a mere mockery, upod •Yvhich punishment could be inflicted. The Lord MAYon—I allowed the defendant to be without all restraint on Saturday in the hope that he would go to his business without delay or hesitation. How has he acted since ? _ _ VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 15. (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) MILLER V. GOW AND OTHERS. This suit was instituted by the assignees under a fiat of bankruptcy. The object of it was to obtain an order for payment to them of a sum of 570/, now in the hands of the defendants, being the surplus of the return of a consignment of goods, made previously to the bank ruptcy, to correspondents of the defendants in the East Indies. The plaintiff's case occupied the whole of the latter part of the day. • His Honour rose at a quarter to four o'clock. (Before Vice-Chanpellor Wionam.) ROBERTS V. WILLIAMS. In this cause the bill was filed to enforce a voluntary settlement made in favour of the plaintiff. His Honour postponed his judgment. JESSOP V. JESSOP. In this cause his Honour decreed " a reference to the Master to inquire who are the next of kin, and if he shall find the next of kin are parties to the record, then to proceed to take an account." Mr. Pritchard declared that the defendant conducted himself still worse, immediately after the indulgence was shown to him. He not only defied him (Mr. Pritchard), but he told the other apprentices that no authority could be exercised against them if they took it into their heads to do as they pleased. The LORD MAYOR—Very well, we shall see whether there is not law enough to conquer him in this case. Mr. Pritchard—l employ thirty men and boys con stantly, so your Lordship may form some opinion of the effect such conduct is calculated to have upon the other boys in the establishment. The Loan MAYOR—I convict the apprentice, and sen tence him to hard labour in the House of Correction for one month. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nor. 15. Mr. TIIESIGER, for the defendant Scholfield, said that, whatever might be the result of the present long and anxious inquiry, the defendants must be satisfied that their Lordships were desirous that the criminal law should be administered fairly and i►npartially. Their Lordships, he was satisfied, would not say that the ver dict should not be set aside, because there was some evidence of a conspiracy ; but that they would do so, unless they were convinced, upon a view of the whole of the evidence, that it was perfectly satisfactory. Now, with regard to the nolle prosequi that had been entered in the case of Cusell, they were placed in a very unfair and extraordinary position. The prosecutors, notwith standing the verdict of the Jury, now admitted that the evidence was not sufficient to warrant his conviction. Defendant—Oh, Lord ! what for ? The LORD MAYOR—For flyitig in the face of your in dentures. I see how it is, you have acquired such a knowledge of the business as to be able to earn a good deal of money, and now, instead of serving your master, you abandon him. It is in my power to sentence you to imprisonment and hard labour for three calendar months. The defendant was then sent to the treadmill for a month, and his Lordship stated, that if any case of the kind should come before him again, the defendant, if not able to show good reason for objecting, should most cer tainly be sentenced in the extreme penalty. The sentence had a wonderful effect upon several lads, who were said to be apprentices, and who set off to their day's work the moment they heard the decision of the Chief Magistrate. GUILDHALL. Yesterday a lad, named Thomas Cook, was brought before Sir J. Key, charged with picking pockets in view of the gallows. John Hicks, of Pitt-street, Kent-road, stated that as he was standing, about nine o'clock that morning, at the top of Fleet-lane, opposite the gallows, he felt some one at his pocket, and caught the prisoner's hand in it, and his handkerchief partly out. He seized the prisoner by the collar, but the people standing by hooted him for en - deavouring to secure him. He, however, kept his hold till he delivered him to a policeman. The prisoner had a companion, but witness did not attempt to detain both. The prisoner said he was a lucifer-maker, residing at Westminster. It was the other lad who tried to steal the handkerchief, and he was not his acquaintance. Sir J. KEY committed him to Bridewell for one month. - • ---- Mr. KELLY—No ; but that there were some doubts. Mr. THESIGER that was a most unwarrantable pro ceeding. because it would infer that the ,prosecutors were still satisfied of the guilt of Cusell, and that their only ground for refusing their consent to a new trial in favour of Cusell was, that it might operate favourably to the other defendants. That stamped the prosecution in a manner which it was unnecessary for him to charac terise. There was no doubt whatever that the Jury had come to a very hasty and inconsiderate conclusion, and it would be far from satisfactory if punishment should follow such a verdict. The evidence shoved that Scholfield had had only a few months knowledge of Lascell. He had obtained a satisfactory reference, and had one or two dealings with Lascell, and when Mr. Goolde applied to him he showed him these transactions in his ledger, and gave such a representation of the character of Lascell as these deal ings warranted. Looking at all the circumstances, he submitted that there was nothing to show that Schol field was a party to any attempt to obtain the good upon false representations ; that he had no reason to believe that Lascell was in such a state of ineolvancy as that he was unable to pay for them, and that he fully, freely, and fairly revealed to Goolde all the transactions he had had with Lascell, in order to enable Goolde to form his own opinion. Under these circumstances he thought it would be a most harsh and cruel thing to allow a conviction of that kind to proceed against a person who had hitherto maintained a highly respectable character, when the charge was founded upon proof of knowledge which did not exist, and upon misrepresentations which had never been made; and when in the result Mr. Scholfield himself was the greatest sufferer, these transactions having dragged him down from a state of affluence to bankruptcy, and which, unless his character was cleared by the opinion their Lordship that th-y pronounced, would, he feared, result in his utter ruin. Mr. lIUMFREY addressed the Court on behalf of the defendant Arranfeldt. MV ........ Mr. MARTIN on the same side with Mr. Thesiger, then addressed the Court. Their LORDSHIPS took time to consider their decision, the question being of considerable importance. POLICE INTELL I GENCE. MAIVSION-HOUSE. _ A case of considerable importance, as regards the laws relating to masters and apprentices, came on for decision yesterday before the Lord Mayor. Mr. Pritchard, an extensive cigar manufacturer at Clerkenwell, appeared before his Lordship, upon the hearing of a complaint against his apprentice, James Moore, fur misconduct, the hearing having been ad journed on Saturday, in order that the City Solicitor's opinion might be taken upon an objection raised to the jurisdiction of the Magistrate, because it appeared by the indentures that no premium had been paid, and it was contended for the apprentice, that inasmuch as the words of the Act, giving the Justices jurisdiction, related to " pauper apprentices and others upon whose binding out no larger sum than five pounds was paid," : it must be made to appear that some sums had been paid by way of premium. It had been decided, it was said, at some of the police-offices, that a farthing would be sufficient for the purpose, but without the payment of a premium was recited in the indenture, the Magistrate would be ousted of jurisdiction under the statute. The City Solicitor being detained at Guildhall upon pressing business, the following opinion was read : " My DEAR Sia, I have, as you say, heard that it has been somewhere decided by somebody, that the pro visions of the 4th George IV., c. 29, do not apply in cases where no premium has been paid. If that is so it must have been equally the law under the provisions of 29th George 11., c. 19. The words are precisely the same in both, except that the Act of George IV. extends the jurisdiction of the Justices from 51. to 251. " I can find no case in which the doctrine now con tended for has been laid down. The former Act was in force 70 years, and many hundreds, perhaps thousands of cases similar to the present, must have been decided under it. If the limited construction thus attempted to be fastened upon this clause were the true one, it seems impossible to believe that it would not have found its way into the Courts of Law long before the passing of the last Act, and iu that c ase th ere can b e b u t little doubt that Parliament would have chosen other words to express what was undoubtedly its meaning, if the words actually employed do not justify the interpretation they have al ways received. In passing an Act to give cheap and summary re dress between masters and pauper apprentices, or where the small amount of the premium indicates that the par ties are not in a situation to encounter the expensive and dilatory process of an action at law, it never can have been the intention of the Legislature to exclude from the benefit of such an useful law a class of persons too poor to pay any premium at all. " I do not think the words doubtful ; but assum ing it to have been the intention of Parliament to bring such cases within the provision of the Statute, I think the Lord Mayor cannot do wrong in following the example of Lord Tenterden, who,_ under similar circum stances, said, If the words used in their ordinary im port are a little too narrow, we ought, in the furthering the intentions of the Legislature, to extend them to meet a particular case—See 8 Barn. and Cres., p. 334. " I am, my dear Sir, yours, &c. " CHARLES PEARSON, City Solicitor, Guildhall. " Francis nobler; Esq., Mansion-House," ASIATIC MISSIONS. Peers, Octr. 27.—Tae foreign missions here have twice received from the East news important, if con firmed, not merely with regard to the missions them selves, but also in a political point of view. The ac counts are as yet vague and confused, but the next post from India or the Levant must contradict or con firm theta. The first intelligence was that all the Chaldean Christians of Koordistan had been converted to Protestantism. The Episcopal church of America has for five years had an active mission at Urumca, on the Persian frontier, in order to convert the Nestorians and Chaldean?. The English missions have also had a few missionaries among them, one of whom, Mr. Ras sam, is a man of mech talent. The American missions follow a very sensible plan. They admit all who wish for instruction into the schools and mission houses, and content themselves with explaining the Bible and giving instruction in different branches of useful knowledge, without in the smallest degree opposing the religious creeds and habits of their scholars and guests. Many Nestorian Bishops have from time to time visited the mission-houses, attended the schools, eaten at the tables of the missionaries, and lived on the best terms with them, fur they saw that the Americans did not attempt to destroy the Nestorian church, but only aimed at im proving the clergy, in order that the latter might them selvcs be enabled to improve their doctrine and liturgy. They wished to reform the Church through the Church itself, and if the tidings we have received are autbentic, they seem to have succeeded. The consequences will be, that the foreign missions here will send a reinforce =tit of Catholic missionaries to Koordistan and Persia, in order to oppose this unexpected movement. This intelligence is of political interest, inasmuch as the Ca tholic-party necessarily inclines to France,and the Pro testant to England, to whatever country the missionaries themselves beiong. The second intelligence, on the contrary, is favourable to Catholicism and the French interest, being a report of the death of the King of Cochin Chita, Minh Menh, who had persecuted the Christians, in the bitterest manner, ever since his ac cession in 1823, and particularly since the death of the Vice-King of Camboja, who was favourable to thtm, and who died in 1827. The wholt history of the Ca tholic church in Cochin China is a history of martyrs, fi! , e , l with accounts of the banishment and execution of . the priests, the burning of Christian villages, and of a system of cruel fanaticism, very foreign to the general character of the Cochin Chinese. The letters of the Freoch missionaries are full of romantic histories of flghts and dangers in caves and morasses—of exile atnorese the barbarous tribes of the mountains, and par ticularly of the execution of European and native priests. Minh Muth appears to have al.vays looked with great disrdeasure on the ieffuence possessed by the Bishop of A'lran and other priests over his father, and he ascribed the subsequent insurrection in Camboja, which put his government in so much danger, to the Catholics. Ten years ago he drew up a decalogue, founded on the poli tical morality of the Chinese, which he made the State religion. The missionaries describe him as half insane, hut the testimony of persecuted enemies is hardly to be trusted. He passed a great part of his life in cisal and foreign wars, but he had not talent enough to train his people to martial enterprises, and he relied chiefly on foreign aid. He founded a sort of navy, which consisted chi , fly of a few American vessels, and of two steam boats which I e obtained from Calcutta, and which he hoped to use against his enemies the Siamese ; his land arrr.y he strengthened by Malays from Celebes, whom he disciplined to a certein degree. His wars, however. were always unsuccessful, and ruined his people. Whe ther the Catholic party will now obtain the upper hand remains to be seen, but it is not impossible, for it is the only element of concord in the miserable country ; and it is certain t hat the nation was in a much better state under the infleence of the Bishop of Adran than it was during the so-called national government of Minh Mcnh. This inteltgence is as yet very uncertain, and requires confirmation.—Alljcineine Zeitung. SAM SLICK'S DIFFERENCE BE- T\VEEN A SWEETHEART AND A WIFE. Tuffs triwt be an tverlastin flue country beyond all doubt, for the folks have nothin to do but ride about and talk politics. In winter, when the ground is covered with snow, what grand times they have a slaying over these here marshes with the gals, or plain ball on the ice, or gain to quiltin frolics of nice long winter evenings, and then a drivin home like mad by moonlight. Natur meant that season en purpose for courtin. A little tidy scrumtious-looking slay, a real clipper of a horse, a string of bells as long as a string of inions round his neck, and a sprig on his back, lookin for all the world like a bunch of apples broke off at gatherin time, and a sweetheart alongside, all muffled up but her eyes and lips, the one lookin right at you, is e'en almost to drive one ravin, tarin, distracted mad with pleasure, aint it ? And then the dear critters say the bells make such a din there's no heatin one's self speak ; so they put their pretty little mugs close up to the face, and talk, talk, talk, till one can't help lookia at them in stead of the horse, and then whap you both go capsized into a snow-drift together, skins, cushions, and all. And then to see the little critter shake herself when she gets up, like a duck landing from a pond, a chattering away all the time like a canary bird, and you a haw-hawin with pleasure, is fun alive, you may depend. In this way blue-nose gets led on to offer himself as a lover be fore he knows where he is. But when he gets married, he recovers his eye-sight in little less than half no time. He soon finds he's treed ; his flint is fixed then, you may depend. She lens him how vinegar is made; " Put plenty of sugar into the water aforehand, my dear," says she, "if you want it real sharp." The lart is on the other side of his mouth then. If his slay gets up shot, its no longer a funny matter, I tell you ; he catches it right and left. Her eyes don't look up to his'n any more, nor her little tongue ring like a bell any longer ; but a great big hood covers her head, and a whappin great muff covers her face, and she looks like a bag of old clothes, agoin to the brook to be washed. When they get out, she don't want any more for him to walk lock and lock with her, but they march like a horse and cow to water, in each gutter. If there aint a transmo grification, its a pity. The difference between a wife and a sweetheart is near about as great as there is be tween new and hard cider—a man never tires of puttin one to his lips, but makes plaguy wry faces at Cother. It makes me so kinder wamblecropt when I think on it, that I am afearcd to ventur on matrimony at all. I have seen some blue-noses most properly bit, you may depend. The marriage yoke is plaguy apt to gall the neck as the ash-bow does the ox in rainy weather, un le ss it h e most particlarly well f i tte d . Y ou ' ve se en a yoke o f catt l e t h at warn% properly mated ; they spend eachPullin agin other than in puffin the load.

The deputation from the Council of the British Association, and representatives from seve ral provincial Medical associations, who had a long interview with Sir James Graham, at the Home office on Saturday last, consisted of George Webster, Esq., M.D., President ; Professor Grant, M.D., F,R.S., Hon. Member ; Robert Davidson, Esq., Vice President ; E. D. Grainer, Esq. ; Henry Smith, Esq. s e ptimus Read, Esq.; and C. W. Rogers Harrison, Eq., Hon. Secretary. BOIV-STBEET. John Frederick Walter was placed at the bar before Mr. Twyford, on a charge of having fraudulently appro priated to his own use the proceeds of a bill of exchange for 251., which had been committed to his safe custody by John Thomas Smith, the owner. It appeared, from the evidence of Mr. Smith, that he had given the bill to the prisoner, in order that he might And some one who would discount it. The bill was per fect at the time, except that it had not witness's name attached to it. He intended to add his name when the bill was discounted ; but he had never authorised the prisoner to sign it. It 4ppeared, however, that witness's name had been so signed, and that the bill had been dis counted by a gentleman of the name of Pike, but witness had never heard any thing from the prisoner on the subject. The case having come on at a late hour, the further examination of witnesses was deferred till to-morrow (this day). HATTON-GARDEN. Of the several cases heard yesterday at this office four were those of fathers compelled to prosecute their own sons upon charges of felony. 'The prisoners involved in these charges were all of them under age, and though the presiding Magistrate appeared most willing to afford facilities for their return to honest practices, the parents in all the cases were compelled to admit, though after se vere struggles, that any attempt at correction by further leniency would be utterly unavailing. In two cases the witnesses against the delinquents were their own brothers, one a child of apparently not more than five years old, who, of course, was not sworn ; the other a lad of twelve, who seemed to suffer much, though the prisoner (aged seventeen) did not seem to be in the slightest degree moved by the difference which their positions presented—the one a ragged, reckless wretch ; the other a well-dressed intelligent-looking boy; whilst the father, who seemed to be of the class of second rate shopkeepers, and who frequently retired to a corner of the court to conceal or repress his tears, could not trust himself to look upon the wretched creature at the bar. The prisoner in the last of these cases did not appear to be above fifteen years old, but was described as utterly incorrigible, and his own admission bore out the fact, inasmuch as he expressed a desire to be trans ported. Three of the cases were committed for trial to the Central Criminal Court, the fathers in each instance being bound over to prosecute. INGENDIARISM Oa the night of Friday last an outbuilding on the farm of Mr. Wickham, of Rowde, was set fire to and entirely consumed. On the same evening an outbuild ing on the farm of Mr. Self, of that village, was also set on fire. From the situation of these build ngs there can be no doubt but that the fires were the work of an incendiary.—Wiltshire Independent. Last week t No haystacks, belonging to Mr. S. Roome, of Sutton-in-Ashficld, Nottinghamshire, and also a corn-stack belonging to Mr. Robert Tudsbury, of the same place, were attempted to be fired by incendiaries, but in both instances they were fortunately discovered in time to prevent their destruction.—Doncaster Gaz. About eight o'clock on Saturday night last some person set fire to a hovel belonging to Mr. C. Barber, surgeon of Colsterworth, situate in a field about a quar ter of a mile from that place. It was completely de stroyed. A reward of 1201. 10s. has been offered for the diseocery of the incendiary, 1001. by the Colster worth Association, 101. 10s. by the Grantham Associa tion, and 101. by Mr. Barber.—Lincol's Mercury. FRENCH PAPERS. " Early on the morning of the 6th inst.," says the Emancipation of Toulouse, " the second half of the persons accused of having taken part in the troubles of Toulouse, were removed for Pau. Amongst them was M. Cazalas, the hat-manufacturer. The same luxury of precaution. the same brutality, were employed on this as on the former occasion. M. T. Jemmapes Dupin, printer of the Aspic, and to the municipality, and M. Lenormand, ex-principal Commissary of Police, were removed to ran on the 7th." The last advices from Algiers, in the Toulon papers, state that the rains have commenced in the North of Africa with unusual violence, and that the town of Al giers has been completely deluged.

The Arabs continued their attacks on the isolated farms and posts round Algiers, and carried off cattle or men nearly every day. The whaler Gauge returned into the port of Havre from the coast of New Zealand on Wednesday, after a passage of only one hundred days, having obtained an unparalleled success in an equally remarkable short space of time. She sailed from Havre on 11th September, 1840, and in the seven months she was engaged in the fishery, obtained 2,300 barrels of oil, and a proportion ate quantity of whalebone. This is one of the shortest voyages known. The Fiance says :—Some time ago a waggon was burnt by accident on the road to Havre. Unfortunately this waggon contained a quantity of curiosities sent as presents by the King of Naples to Prince Charles of Prussia, consisting of antique vases, arms, and various other objects obtained from Herculaneum and Pompeii. Every thing that the waggon contained was consumed. These objects were to have been shipped at Havre for Berlin. The value of them is not stated, but they were insured. A young couturiere of the Rue"Au Faubourg Saint Martin, had for several years an intimate connection with a young man, but being constantly ill-treated left him, and went to live with another. Two mornings ago, her former lover went to her lodging, armed with a brace of pistols, and threatened to shoot her, if she did not return to him. She refused, and he immediately fired, and wounded her on the breast. Believing he had killed her, he put the muzzle of the other pistol to his mouth, and blew out his brains. The cries of the poor girl brought in the neighbours ; medical advice was sent for, and it was ascertained that her wound, though severe, was not likely to prove fatal. A carman driving a load of empty casks along the wharfs at Bercy, on "Wednesday evening, suffered his horse to enter the river to drink, but the animal got too far into the stream, and as the man from being drunk was unable to guide him, they were all carried do v% n to the Pont Notre Dame, and driven with violence Etgainst the pier. The driver, restored to his se nses by his dan ger, shouted lustily fur assistance. Some of the men employed at the office of the Octroi, and also on board the steam-boat Parisienne, near the Quai of the Hotel de Ville, heard him, and, with the aid of the National Guards on duty there, got the man safe ashore. The casks kept themselves and the truck afloat, but the horse was drowned. A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign office yesterday afternoon, which was attended by all the Ministers in town.

LORD MONBODDO AND JAMES . 11 -` ° ''' ,15 MERY THE POET.—The following curious anecdot.e g 0 narrated by Mr. Montgomery at a recent M eetin : Scotland :—" The parents of the poet had gone abreill and their little boy was left with the brethren 5".00 neck, a Moravian settlement in the sister kingdoP - co ra was one of their youngest scholars at a time when --,„a Monboddo, still so well known for his great t a lent ; e s. acquirements, and his scarce less marked eccentilt,ler visited the settlement, and was shown, among °"00% things, their little school. His Lordship stood LI, o f, the boys, coiling and uncoiling his whip on the n . tbe and engaged as if in counting the nail-heads i ri r boarding. The little fellows were all e xceeding% to rious ; none of them had ever seen a r eal live Loru, fore, and Monboddo was a very strang e . -looking Lorul deed. He wore a large, stiff, bushy periwig, stool ° 0 5 by a huge odd-looking hat ; his very plaid coat so . ' studded with brass buttons of broade st disk, and his re ya luminous inexpressibles were of leather. And the rds' stood, with his grave absent face bent down"' t he drawing and re-drawing his whip along Moravian, his guide, pointed out to his notice WI ,gth t h e floor, s oft er boy. " And this," said the Moravian, coming n t 1 1,arcl; to young Montgomery, " is a countryman of Yot ir d bart- 1 ship's." His Lordship raised himself up, look e ; ov er at the little fellow, and then shaking his huge ‘v li po ' P entil his head, " Ah," he exclaimed, " I hope bi, The Boa will have no reason to be ashamed of him." „ion " cuinstance," said the poet, " made a deep imp s i on 0 " 3 my mind, and I determined—l trust the resoluilot not made in vain—l determined in that moment' ettne' country should not have reason to be ashamed Ot 01 1 ; S COT TISH TITLES OF THE Paist i i , g '" WALES.—The Prince of Wales is by birth ;469' Rothsay and Steward of Scotland.
