hap treble, what it was in 182. May not this 1 have had some effect in reducing profits, lowering wages, and in doing that which is technieally called " cutting up the trade ?" Would not this account for the admitted fact, that profits have lessened, and wages been reduced, in the interval, even though a single length of silk goods had not found its was' across the Channel ? The Chairman of this meeting declared that he had himself now out of employ at Manchester 2,000 looms. I believe he said power looms. 'Was one of these looms in existence itt 1822 ? If not, would it not appear that the mann ficturets of Spitalfields have much more to fear from the rivaby of Manchester than from the competition of Lyons ? The rivalry ill the one case, and the competition in the other, will, I believe, he pro ductive of great public benefit , and it is only with the public interests, and private interests so far as they bear upon the public, that the Government of a country can or ought to have to do. I remain, Sir, yours, &c. LIELTA. July 23. No notice is taken by the Dublin Papers of the Rebellion at Ballinamore. On the other hand, they are filled with accounts of the peace ful triumphs of the Catholics. Money comes pouring in on the Association from all quarters, from America, England, and Sentland. The produce of the rent last week was between four teen and fifteen hundred pounds. This comes of agitation ! The Great Untaught would have had the Catholics remain quiet, An enemy's advice is naturally enough interpreted by the rule of contraries, for it is concluded that the same course cannot be for the interest of both camps. The Duke of Wellington's Administration is viewed by the Catholics 88 a hostile power, re. strained merely by prudence from overt acts. We are aware of the difficulties which are in the way of an Administration in this country, and that the Duke, like all other Minister% must consult the feelings of the Aristocracy, of which he is the instrument. It is lisrdly fair to expect impossibilities from him. if he be a man pos aessed of any elevation of mind—if he be raised above the grovelling herd (of which we have yet seen no evidence), he can hardly fail to be struck with the littleness of- all the objects he can pro pose to himself in the remaining portion of his life, compared with the great object of uniting the two-great divisions of the empire 'into one people, and laying the foundation for the happi ness and prosperity of the beautiful but wretched country, in which he first saw the light. But age is not the season of generosity or elevation of purpose ; and we fear it will seldom be found, that a man who has been wrapt up in his own petty interest ,till the decline of life, displays more magnanimity and abandonment of self dur ing the almost valueless remainder of it. But what a field is open in this country for the exer tions of a man, who might wish to live in the memory of men as a benefactor of his species.— Morning Chronicle. We give an account of the Income and Ex penditure from the year 1813 to the year 1827. Our readers will see by it a principal reason - why we should not embark in a war of any conse quence with any nation. Let them look at the expenditure for the yeaf- 1811, and they will find that it was 106 millions ; which was at the rate of two millions a-week. It was fortunate for England at that period that she had a lucky General in the Duke of Wellington, who, by conquering Bonaparte, got rid of a war that 'was costing us more than 100 millions a-year. Our expenditure now is about half what it was then ; but should we go to war with Portugal, in order to give her a Constitution, or with Russia, to prevent her seizing upon Turkey in Europe, in cluding Greece—and should the result of two such wars be a war with Europe and the United States—we should be obliged once more to spend at the rate of 100 millions, a-year, which, con tinued for a few years, would end in a complete blow-up of the debt, if not revolution in Church and State.—Morning Herald.

The Irish Salt Butter Bill is now befbre the House of Lords. Nearly the whole of the laws respecting Irish salt butter arc, we believe, to be got rid of by this Bill when enacted. The only thing remaining, we believe, is, that Irish salt butter shall be sent to England and elsewhere, in casks, wade of certain woods. We would recommend the Lords to get rid of this folly by altering the Bill to the effect, that the whole of the laws respeetinv Irish salt butter he rescinded. It is the height of absurdity to enact any laws whatever in respect of trade of any kind. All trades take best care of themselves.—/bid. In continuing the duties upon the importation of Foreign silk as they new exist, instead of making a further reduction in pursuance of the principles of free trade, his Majesty's Govern ment have acted in a manner of all others the best calculated to command the confidence of the country. By this conduct they afforded a satisfactory pledge that they do not mean to yield themselves up to an implicit confidence in the wisdom of a system, which a great majority of the parties whose interests it more immediately al fects pronounce loudly to be a most injurious one, and that if they abstain from undoing what has actually been accomplished, they at least will not take another step in the same course, without lull and mature consideratio n of the subject, and lending an attentive ear to whatever can he ad vanced in opposition to it. The impartial and enlightened men to whose care the commercial concerns of this great empire are now entrusted, have commenced their important duties at a moment when a very considerable difference of opinion prevails as to the effects already prod u - ced, and hereafter to be expected, in consequence of the adoption of a new conumercial system, ; ,,,d when the predominant opinion among those who have the greatest practical knowledge o f the details of British commerce plainly appears to be that the system, if not altogether unsound in principle, has been brought into operation much too precipitately and indiscriminately. In these circumstances, no declaration could be more indicative of wisdom on the part of Go vernment—none could be better calculated to .flurd satWactivn and inspire confidence to all . the great interests of the. country, than a declara tion that the new system is to undergo a careful and candid revision ; that all, the peculiar cir cumstances of thie colintry, and of its various in terests, a re t o be dUly and anxiously sidered - ; and that, with a vie*: to this full,' anxious, and candid revie* - atid ittonsideration, the Statesmen "Alt) are about to undertake it will divest themselves of all preconceived opinions, and bring their minds as nearly as possible into the condition of a sheet of blank paper. We have purposely adopted the simile of one of those Ministers, because it has encountered the sneers of ignorance and faction, and because it appears to us to he admirably descriptive of the state of mind hi which such an investigation, if it i 6 to altord any. satisfaction to the country, blight to be undertaken ; a state of mind not akin to ig,norance, unless ignorance be the proper name fur that condition of the mental faculties iii which it is admitted Judges ought to ascend the bench, and Jurors to enter the jury box. — Morning Post. It will be seen from a report in another part of our Paper, that a Public Meeting was held yes terday in the City, for the purpose of forming an Association to watch over the interests of the Silk Trade. With such an object there can he no ground to quarrel ; but it appears to us, and it was, indeed, broadly asserted at the Meeting, that under it there was concealed another of a more questionable nature—namely, to throw discredit on the measures of the late Presidents of the Board el Trade, and enable the "blank paper" gentry who arc now in office to overturn what it cost the former so much trouble to esta blish. We trust, however, that in this respect they will be defeated. If any one change which has been effected in the commercial industry of the country was more wanted than another, it was certainly in the Silk Manufacture ; and if, on the other hand, anv • one has been needlessly and groundlessly exclaimed against, it hasbeenit. The success of the measures introduced by Mr. Hus kisson, and supported by Mr. Charles Grant, has been much : more complete than even . they antici pated. A manufacture, which was formerly stagnant through injurious legislation, has been roused into life and energy—employment has been afforded not only for capital, but for hun dreds who were formerly in a state of the greatest destitution—and finally, instead of being driven out of the, market by foreigners, we have actually made considerable progress in rivalling them.— This is the real state of the case ; and from the disinclination to discussion which was mani fested yesterday, and the rough treatment ex perienced by the advocates of free trade, we augur a growing conviction of its truth, even among the former opponents of the change.— Certain it is, that a greater improvement las been effected in the — manufacture of silks during the last two years than took place during the previous thirty—that silk looms are now erecting where silk looms were never before thought of—that a much greater quantity of the raw material is imported now than previously to the passing of the Act of 1826 ; that our French neighbours, instead of being benelhted by the change, as they confi dently anticipated, have exclaimed against it as being extremely injurious ; and if these facts are not sufficient to acquit the commercial policy of Mr. Huskisson of all injurious tendency in this respect, we really know not what will or what could. We agree- with the meeting, however, in thinking that a reduction of the duty on the importation of the raw material, would be of in finite service, and in all probability enable the Government to dispense with nearly one-half of the present enormous duty of 30 per cent. on the foreign manufactured article, which only serves to encourage smuggling, and not to pro tect our own manufacturers.—Morning Ad yertizer. Notwithstanding what we have already said regarding the new Customs Bill, we cannot yet allow that measure to sleep without a few more remarks upon the Silk Duties; and what we are most desirous to call the attention of the public to is the principle involved by the present mea sure. We entirely concur with Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Courtenay in the view they have taken of it ; we only wish that their reluctance to fulfil the pledge of Mr. Huskisson did as much pro ceed from conviction as from what is called pru dence. It would, we are assured, produce sen sations of rare gratification if those best ac quainte4 with trade could be convinced that the Goverinnent now see the necessity of modifV•ing the measures of the late Board of Trade, and of retaining to ourselves those profits, and that domestic industry, which their liberal prede cessors so freely and so wantonly flung away. The conduct of Ministers inspires a hope that they are. aroused to a sense of the necessity of retracing their steps, or rather of extricating themselves from the obnoxious and pauperising engagements of Mr. Huskisson, with as much haste and as little violence as possible. If this be their intention, and we sincerely believe it to be so, they shall have our humble but hearty support ; mid we shall hail the day, as one of the happiest and proudest of their reign, Nvhen they have fairly effected a return to the sound commercial policy which in au evil hour Mr. Huskisson and his colleagues abandoned. The present duties on French and India silks show in the clearest and most convincing point of view, the folly, the absurdity, the ruin, of the new system. It is conceded on all hands, that if India silks were admitted on the same terms as are the French, Spitalfields and Manchester, so far as the Silk manufacture is concerned, might as well he burnt to the ground, and their artisans sent, under the patronage of Mr. Wilmot Hor ton, to the wilds of Canada. No man, with one single grain of sense in his head, or whose mo tives are not based in pure selfishness, can doubt this. India silks are consequently fettered with a duty, which is from 20 to 30 per cent. heavier than that upon the manufactures of what i s th e avowe d o bj ec t o f th e l ic ro )is. cates No‘, ot'fr ‘ e . e trade and the modern economists? It is not to obtain whatever goods or produce we consume , from those eol i r a i l e .e s whence (not f orgett i ng even unintelligible procure then: l l lea m p e r s . t m ? ill pon derous andintelliible volu mes o f P rofess d r M'Culloch the unfortunate Colonel "Forrents)7.es ay,hsa‘e not all the trashy tracts of Ricardo, h of the Edinburgh Review, and all the thousands and ten thousands of articles in newspapers, been dunning this doctrine in oFir ears for the last quarter of a century ? Is it not held to be an • established principle, that wherever an article can procured at the cheapest rate, thcrewe should go for it ? i fact, this principle s considered the most plain and invulnerable of . all the principles of political science. But it is never theless, even by Mr. Huskisson, found to be im practicable as regards India silks. He it was who first sanctioned the discrepancy between the duties on those of France and India. He per petrated an act of violence on his own principles, on his own favourite system, on his own reason ing, and on his declared measures, by assenting, and assenting from dire necessity, to this discre pancy.-There Would have been more consistency in his conduct, to say nothing of the justice of it, and as little of the consequence of it, had he at once placed the silks of Europe and India on the same footing. But by his measure, or rather by the amended measure of his subaltern, Mr. Grant, he committed an act of glaring injustice towards India. He gave a pre ference, and a most invidious and suspicious preference, to the only nation on earth that least deserved it. H e gave a bounty to French ma nufacturers, not only at the expense of the manufacturers of this country, but at the ex pense also of the merchants and traders of our Eastern possessi ons ; an d be gave this prefer ence to a country, every man in which, where his own interest is concerned, abjures his policy, and, through him, holds up to ridicule and contempt the silliness and the ignorance of English Statesmen.—New POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.--UNFlNtsiten journeyman butcher was charged, before Alderman (ht.- KETT, with having left his master's service without having finished the work in which he bad been engaged, viz. : killing an ox, three heifers, two sheep, and a pig. The master-butcher , w h o res id es a t Whitechapel, stated that the defendant was a freeman of London, and was always exceedingly jealous when he saw any person employed tvho was what is called a foreigner (a non-freeman), although he disliked hard work as much as any man. Upon one occa sion, when the prosecutor employed a good man to assist hini, the defendant complained, and compelled a dismissal of the foreigner and insisted upon being hired in his stead. Friday being the great day for slaughtering, the prosecutor directed the dekndant to kill the above-mentioned ox, heifers, sheep, and pig, in order to have them in readiness for market-day. The defendant, however, did no more than kill one of the heifers, and gave notice, on the Thurs day night, that he would 'quit the service. It was the duty of servants, on such occasions, to skewer up and dress out the joints ready fo'r sale, and after the defendant had done this, as far as regarded the heifer, he walked off, leaving all the rest not only unakewered, but unkilled, to the great in convenience of his master. The defendant said, that if he had not quitted the service, he would have been starved out. The killing jobs were very few indeed, and as he had only eo much a head for sticking, what could he expect from a man who bad only as odd'un to stick. _ _ . The prosecutor said, that the moment a beast made his appearance, away went the defendant. The defendant declared " that he was as well able, as any man to deal with a box, or any other hanimal ; but he conldn:t kill one if there was ne'er a one to kill."— ( A laugh.) Alderman GA RRETT was afraid he could not treat this case as he might that of a journeyman weaver, who left his master's work unfinished. The prosecutor—" Why, your. Worship, he was to have killed all those hanimals fur the use of the public, by my direction, and he left before he killed half on'em. That's leaving his work unfinished."—(Laughter.) Alderman GARRETT adasittesl that to be the case, but denied that the Act of Parliament meant that sort of un finished work when it inflicted a penalty upon a party for leaving his work. " Perhaps, however," said the Alder man, " he half-killed the animal's !"—(Loud laughter.) It was admitted that the defendant had performed no part of his duty upon any of the living animals. He had not even given a knock-down blow. The ALDERMAN observed, that defendant had shewn his skill in avoiding the penalty by skewering up the heifer he had killed. It was evident he had finished that job.— (Laughter.)--As for the rest, as no blood had been shed, it was too much to say that the defendant had begun his work upon them, and therefore he could not be said to have violated the Act. MIS LORDSHIP advised the prosecutor to apply at the Chamberlain's Office upon the subject. GUILDIIALL.—CharIes Christopher Edwards was brought before Sir JOHN PEaniso yesterday, charged with having ferociously assaulted Benjamin Howard. The parties are journeymen in the employ of a trunk maker in George-yard, Bow-lane ; and, during a scuffle between them, about the possession of some deal boards in their master's shop, Edwards struck Howard with a saw, in such a way as to cut his nose almost in two, and to lacerate his cheek front nose to ear. Thus wounded, Howard fled from further violence ; but Edwards' Welsh 1)100(1 being up, he endeavoured to repeat the blow ; but their shopmates interfered, :and carried Edwards to the Cempter, and Howard to the surgeon. The evidence of one of the witnesses, another journey man trunk•maker, showed that " the schoolmaster " had been with him to some purpose. " I saw Mr. Howard get the contents of the primary attack," said he, meaning thereby, we presume, the first chop on the nose with the saw. " Then," added he, " I saw him defend himself with his hand from the second relapse ; and the issue of the consequence must have been inevitable in the extreme, if we had not stept in with a joint union of physical force to subvert it." With respect to the provocation given by Howard, witness said he was " simultaneously of opinion that it were less than equivalent to the re-tailya thin ; litr Mister Howard merely gave Mister Edward, an imperceptible push, and therefore Mister Edwarfis were not justified in taking such big offence at it ; hut though the consequences were as they were, they were all the effects of the heat of passion." Edwards, in his own defence, pleaded—firstly, that Howard had given him great provocation by cutting tip some hoards which he had prepared for his own work; secondly, that the provocation was increased by Howard pushing him about, when he attempted to take the same freedom with some boards which Howard had prepared; thirdly, that he happened to have the saw in his hand at the moment, and the blow was inflicted in the heat of pas sion, and not with malice prepense ; fourthly, and lastly, that he was extremely sorry for the serious mischief he hail done to his face, and was willing to make all the com pensation in his power. tie was ordered to give twenty-four hours' notice of hail fur his appearance at the Sessions, the Alderman being of opinion that the circumstances would not warrant his com mitment under Lord Ellenborough's Act; and, in the mean time, he was sent back to the Compter. Tne LAST or " THE IlAstmoNns."—Frederie Ham mond was charged with having picked the pocket of 1)r. Brereton, head master of Bedford school. This Frederick Hammond and his three brothers (the worthy offspring of a Ncwgate Turnkey) have been professed pickpockets from their earliest youth ; and they have exercised their profes sion so zealously, that all of them except Frederick have long since been sent out to Paramatta at Government ex pence. The one last sent out, received that honour for having extracted a parcel, containing upwards of 2,00010 from the pocket of a bankers' clerk (Snow and Paul's), as he was walking up Fleet-street in the middle of the day, about two years ago. So that Frederick was the last of the Hammonds remaining in this country, and the following is the bold adventure which, in all probability, will enable hint to join his worthy brothers, at Pararoatta : Dr. Brereton, whilat walking on Ludgate-hill, about _ _ twelve o'clock at noon yesterday,aecompanled by his son, suddenly found himself beset by three or four well-dressed men. The prisoner was one of them, and Dr. B. plainly felt his hand pressing against his trousers pocket, in which pocket was a silk purse containing 19 eovereigns and some silver. It immediately occurred to him that Le was about to he robbed, and clapping his hand to his pocket Its found the deed already dcoe—for the puree of sovereigns was gone. At the same instant he saw the pri soner darting away from him across the st reet, and hav in g no doubt that he was the thief, he pursued him crying stop thief!" Frederick, however, would not stop, though he was thus pointedly called upon PO to do ; but unluckily for him, and luckily for the public at large, Skel laru, one of the Bow-street patrol, happened to be passing that way, and he well knowing that Frederick could not he running so nimbly for nothing, stopped him, and de tained him until Dr. B. cause u p . He w a s then search ed, but the purse was not found upon him—he was too good a judge for that ; and he assured the Doctor that he %vas a young man of good character, declared he knew nothing of the robbery, th at h e was only running to get out of the way of the coaches, but that he was willing to ma k e good what ever loss the Doctor had sustained, rather than b e taken be fore a Magistrate, as that would ruin his character for ever. When brought before the Magistrate he told the same tale (sinking his "character,") but nobody believed him, and he was committed to Newgate to take Lis trial for the robbery. BOW-STREET. ct ursTin's CAse...-111r. liumphieys, the solicitor, attended in behalf of the younger Gueste. Ia addressing Mr. Haus, the Sitting l"lagiet►ate, he said he came to claim thirty sovereigns and some silver articles, the property of the younger Guests. Mr. HALLS asked the offictra if they had obtained any farther Information since 2—Pagan said he had; that the watch claimed by Mr. 11. he believed was one stolen from a gentleman six months ago in Tottenham-court-road. A Mr. Smith, of Bedfordbury, said a silver sugar-basin found at Gueste's was his property. Fagan remarked that it was found in a very suspicious place, under a bed. Mr. Humphreys—We do not claim that ; we claim thirty sovereigns. Fagan—Old Guests said they were his property. Mr. Hau.s.—Let the father come forward and settle the account between himself and his son, and I shall have no objection to give him what he claims ; but at present I feel that I am accountable to the father for all the property found at his house. I also call upon the son to prove his claim. Young Guests said the only persons who could prove his claim was a legal one, were his wife and mother. Fagan.-- - -I think I have an owner for the very watch you claim. lam also confident that some of the silver articles were stolen from Mrs. Crompton, of Bryanstone square. If I have only a few days longer, lam sure I can get owners for the entire of the property. Mr. HALLS.—From what I have heard, I shall give the officers time for inquiry—and shall postpone the case until Saturday. SINGULAR CHARGE AND DEFENce.—Yesterday a most respectable seal-engraver, named Strengi'th'arm, who re sides in Pall-mail, appeared at this office to prosecute his next door neighbour, whose name is Metcalf, and who pro fesses the same business, for feloniously obtaining a gold seal, of the value of 81., in his name. Mr. Strongi'th'arm deposed as follows :—I am a seal engraver, and reside at No. 1, Waterloo-place. The prisoner was formerly in my einploy, and at that time authorised by me sometimes to order seals, but never from a Mr. Ald ridge. A few days since I received a bill far a seal which I understood the prisoner obtained from that gentleman. Mr. Aldridge said that, about five or' six months since, Metitalf came to his shop, and said he wished to have three seals, in order to show to a gentleman, for Mr. Strongi'th'arm. They were given to him without hesita tion, akd, in a month after, two were returned, with a message that the other one,, price 8/., had been used. The prisoner was called upon for his defence. Your Worship, he commenced, in a very convulsive manner, the present charge has been most unjustly, suddenly, and re vengefully brought against me. I have had not even time to procure a legal adviser, and Fain scarcely in a state to defend myself; but to the point:—When I was in the pro secutor's employ I acknowledge having obtained three seals from Mr. Aldridge, but I did not say they were to be charged to Mr. Strongi'th'arm, nor did I make any re mark, as I h. d at that time work of Mr. Aldridge'a to per form. Subsequently, however, his son came to my house, and I then communicated to him that when he brought me the bill I would deduct the sum owed me by Ms father, and pay the surplus. This I afterwards repeated at different visits of his son to me, but the bill was never sent in. I bad then left Mr. Strougi'th'arna, and by the assistance of ,my rela tives and friends had established a shop close to him. This, continued the prisoner, in an impassioned tone, is the origin of this humiliating charge. They wish me to be brought to poverty and disgrace, but it cannot be. Is it possible, ejaculated the prosecutor, as lie rose in dignantly from his seat—is it ►ndeed possible that I bear this from such a man—a man whom I have hitherto treated with the utmost kindness—nay, even brought up almost from childhood. Bur, tremble, young man, when yen consider you will rot in your grave, and be obliged to ac count for this crime to your Maker. Mr. HALLS, who appeared astonished at these proceed ings, desired the officers to prevent their conversing toge ther, and calling Mr. Aldridge towards him, questioned him at great length. Did You know, Sir, said the worthy Magistrate, that your son had peen to the prisoner and mate any arrangement ?—I was aware of that, and he mentioned to me that the prisoner—in short, what he has said already—but my response was, that as the seal had been put down to the prosecutor, so the hill must be made out to him. ' Then, Sir, knowing all this, wily did you seer five months to elapse before you sent in the bill ?—I was not afraid of my money. Mr. IlAtts—Have you ever given work to the prisoner, and have you paid him yet ?—I have given him work, but I have not paid him. I can bring other charges, I dare say (the prosecutor here interrupted.) • Why not have brought them before, said the prisoner, I have never had my character impeached before this time, or, indeed, before I set up a respectable swop close to your's. Mr. HALLS questioned both the prosecutor and Mr. • Aldridge a considerable time after this, and ultimately de cided that the charge was not well founded, and that Mr. Aldridge had in some part caused it by a mistake of sending in the bill to the prosecutor instead of to the prisoner. Thomas Shelsman, the man who was charged, with an attempt to murder his wife, has been discharged. HATTON-GARDEN. -DARING BURGLARY. —James Smith, an ill-looking fellow, was ymterday brought up fin. re-examination, charged with having committed a daring burglary on the premises of Messrs. Young and Co., builders, Eagle-street, Red Lion-square. Mr. Young stated, that on the ltith inst. he locked the counting-house and the gates of the premises, which are very extensive. This was about seven at night. At a little after eleven Daniel Smith, the watchman, discovered the Fates open, and a very handsome dial, which belonged to the premises, and which used to hang in the counting house, laying just inside, ready to he carried off. Active search was instantly made, and no one could ascertain how the counting-house had been entered. It was, of course, concluded that the thief had gone. However, at about six in the morning, the counting-house window was found forced open, and seven desks and se►ne drawers had been broken into, and every thing of value that was portable carried off. Search was again resumed, and, after two hours, the prisoner was found lying underneath some sacks, in a coal-cellar. A crow-bar, centre-bit, chisel, two gold seals, a valuable set of drawing instruments, a silver pencil case, and several other articles, part of Mr. Young's pro perty, were found beside the prisoner.—He was folly committed. WORSHIP-STREET. —A man named Shirley was charged with being concerned in the robbery commit ted on Sunday last, in the shop of Mr. Hutton, watch maker and silversmith, situate near London-bridge. The property that was stolen was to the amount of between '7OO/. and I,oflo/. The prisoner had been in Mr. Hnt ton's service, from which he had been recently discharged, and from circumstances that have transpired, was suspected of having been concerned in the robbery. A person named Dormer WA present, and charged him with nnlawfully pawning his watch. The prisoner, it appeared although not a watch-maker, had undertaken to repair the watch, and had pawned it for 11. ; and on Fri day enclosed the duplicate to Dormer in a letter, in which be entreated, for the sake of his wife and family, that no proceedings should be taken against him, and stated in posi tive terms that he should have money on Monday or Tues day, and world give him money to redeem the watch. He was remanded for re-examination. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL.

John Checsc, aged 33, was indicted for assaulting and ravishing Ann Ridley, on the . evening of the 14th of May last. Ann Ridley, a plain-looking girl, with an impedi ment in her speech, was 16 years of age ; lived at Stourbridge, in this county, and worked at a carpet factory at Kidderminster . . On the evening of the 14th of May, she was returning, about half-past seven o'clock in the evening, from Kidderminster, and was within a mile of Stourbridge when she met the prisoner driving a flock of sheep. He asked her what hour it was, and she told him. He then pulled out a shilling and offered it to her, if she would go into a field with him. As soon as he made that,offer, she ran off towards her home up the hill ; but when she had got about a quarter of a mile, she fell over a heap of stones, and the pri soner coming up, immediately seized her and dragged her across the turnpike-road, down a lane ;. and after carrying her some distance, threw her down and ac complished his purpose. When he suffered her to rise, she walked down the lane before him, and saw two men and a woman driving some carts. She told them what had occurred, and pointed out the prisoner as the man who had ill-used her • but after seizing the prisoner and talking to him, they let him go again. On the next morning, at four o'clock, she went and informed the constable of what had happened, in order that the prisoner might be taken up. MisS Harriette Perry was walking near the lane de scribed by the prosecutrix, with a child, on the even ing of the 14th of May, and recollected seeing the prosecutrix running away from a man dressed in a smockfrock ; she saw her fall on a heap of stones, and the man in the smockfrock took her up round the waist, and carried her down the lane. He was carrying her down the lane when the witness met a man of the name of Tudor, who, seeing the witness was much frightened, accompanied her to her own house, which was at a short distance off. When the prosecutrix fell on the stones the witness heard her scream " Murder." While looking after the prosecutrix down the lane, she saw her walk a few steps; but the man with the smockfrock was hold ing a stick over her head. John Tudor, and Mary Tudor, his mother, con firmed, in several material points, the testimony al ready given. Mr. Justice GAsELEE having summed up, The Jury brought in a verdict of Guilty, but re commended the prisoner to mercy. The Foreman being unable to explain to the Learned Judge the reasons which induced such a recommendation, the Jury again retired, and after some consultation sent a written communication to his Lordship, recommending the prisoner to mercy, because they believed the prisoner was not aware of the pnnishment that awaited the commission of such a crime. _ _ Mr. Justice GASELEE then proceeded to address the prisoner on the enormity of the crime of which he had been convicted, and concluded by pronounc ing sentence of death on him. The prisoner seemed perfectly heedless of the fate that awaits him. John Pound, aged 51, was indicted for assaulting Ann Downes, a child under tke age of nine years, with intent to commit a rape. The circumstances of the case are of a nature too gross for detail. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Justice GASELEE sentenced the prisoner to be confined in the House of Correction for eighteen months, mid kept to hard labour. YORK, MONDAY, JULY 21. The commission for this county was opened on Saturday, by Mr. Justice BAYLEY, and the business of the Assize commenced to-day. Mr. Baron HUL LOCK did not arrive until this morning. The Learn ed Baron, who has only just recovered from a very severe illness, presides in the Crown Court, where his labours are likely to be light. There are only 33 prisoners for trial, and none of the cases are of a very aggravated description. The entry of causes for the Civil Side has not yet finished, but it is ex pected to be heavy. 'SHELBY V. BAINES. This was an action of traver brought to recover the value of a stack of hay. Plea—general issue. Mr. Sergeant JONES briefly stated the case. The action arise out of a claim which the plaintiff had had upon a person of the name of Archbell. Arch bell had a stuck of hay standing in a held belong ing to the defendant, and it was agreed that that stack should become the property of the plaintiff, who was to give Archbell credit on his accounts for -101., the value of the hay. After the arrangement had been entered into, the defendant had been ap prised of the change of property which had taken place, and she had promised to allow the stack to remain a month or two longer in her field for the plaintiff's convenience. Subsequently, however, she had refused to allow the plaintiff to take away the hay, and it was to recover the value that this action had been brought. Owing to some defect in evidence the plaintiff was nonsuited. On the Crown side several cases of burglary and stealing in a dwelling-house were tried, but there was nothing important in them. HARLAND V. SMITH AND ANOTHETt. This was an action of trespass brought to try a right to a pew situated in the chancel of the church of Bridlington. The plaintiff was a lady of fortune and the lay impropriator of that parish, and the defend ant Smith was perpetual curate. The other de fendant (Jackson) was a joiner, and he had suffered judgment to go by default. The pew was situated in the chancel of the church, and unquestionably belonged to the plaintiff, in whose family the lay imprepriation of the parish had for a long time been Vested. For a number of years the pew had been allotted to the singers of the church, who had usually been men resident in the parish ; but a year or two ago, Mr. Smith, the defendant, bad been pleased to assign the pew to the children of a charity-school established there, who had performed the singing part of the service. In consequence of a request from some of the old singers, the plaintiff had given them permission to use the pew, and had fixed a lock upon it, in order to keep it closed. That lock, and the door to which it was fastened, had been forcibly broken down, and carried away by the or der of the defendant, and that constituted the tres pass complained of. The Jury, after a short deliberation, found a ver dict for the plaintiff— Damages, Is. SALISBERY,"JrLY 22.

The Chief Baron, we regret to say, is so indisposed to-day as to be unable to g o t o c h urc h or to attend the Cour t ; but his illness is understood not to be of a se rious . nature, and it is hoped lie will be able to sit in Nut Pr i nt Court to-morrow, where, there are four causes for trial—a large number for the quiet county of Bedford. The calendar contains only eight prisoners for trial, but they include a murder, supposed to have been committed so long ago as August, 1821, on the body of a woman unknown; two for highway robbery, two for sheep stealing, and one for horse -stealing. The grand jury have ignored the bills against a young woman of the age of 18, who was committed on two charges of arson. The bill against Eastqfe, accused of the the prosecution. disposed of, ln wh t i h c he pos sessed Cri the least interest, were the following Cri minal murder, is not yet returned by the grand jury, nor will they proceed on it to - day, as there are no less than a 36 Court witnesses the casesr CROWN' SIDE. Wni. Gilbert was brought up to receive the judg ment of the Court for a felony (stealing four oxen) of which he was convicted before Mr. Baron (arrow, at the Spring Assizes for this county. Mr. Justice HOLROYD said, the case had been carefully considered by the twelve Judges, and they were unanimously of opinion that the offence amount ed to a felony, and that the conviction was right, and sentence of death was recorded against the prisoner. LOTON V. GOODMAN. This was an action for libel and slander. The plaintiff, it appeared, was some years ago.invited to stay at the house of her uncle, Mr. James Manton, a respectable farmer at Creator, and be a companion to his daughter, whose mind had been so much af flicted at the sudden death of her sister that she had remained ever since subject to occasional fits. The defendant was also a farmer, and was nephew to Mr. Manton, who appointed him executor to his will, and manager, together with a Mr. Thomas Manton, of his property. Mr. James Manton subsequently altered his will, and sold his farm. Whilst the plaintiff was on a visit to her family at Woburn, the defendant wrote her a letter charging her with rob bing his uncle of linen and money; and he also re peated the charge to another person on the next day. She brought this action, therefore, to vindicate her character, and the defendant pleaded, 'besides the general issue, that the charge as to the slander was true. She called a host of respectable witnesses, who gave her an excellent character. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages, 104 CHELMSFORD-JULY 23. Williana Whipps, aged 16, servant, was put to the. bar, charged with having feloniously assaulted, with intent, &c. Eliza Whale, an infant of the age of six years. The child was on a visit to her aunt, an innkeeper, at Bocking, in whose service the prisoner was at the time, in the capacity of "boots." The prosecutrix, a very pretty and intelligent child, gave her evidence with great clearness. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Learned JUDGE immediately sentenced him to two months' solitary confinement, and to be twice pri vately whipped. William Marshall, aged 40, labourer, a cripple, was also indicted for an assault with intent, &c., on a child of the age of seven years. _ . The JURY, without hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty, and his Lordship sentenced his) to be kept in solitary confinement for six months, and to be once privately whipped. ANOTHER ROBBERY 'OF A JEWELLER IN THE CITY TO A GREAT AMOUNT. On Tuesday night a most daring and extensive robbery was committed in the house of Mr. FoSter, a jeweller, 13, Aldgate, when property, consisting of seals, chains, rings, and other articles of jewellery, to the amount of 12001. were stolen. It appears that about 11 o'clock, on Tuesday night, Mr. Fos ter's errand-boy was sent out for some beer for sup per; Mr. Foster was the only person in the house at the time, his family being at Peckham, and he was in the room over the shop. The boy on' leav ing the shop, shut the door, which was secured by a spring lock, and it is supposed that at that moment the thieves opened the door with a picklock, and entered the house. The boy, on returning with the beer, found the door open. An alarm, was, of course, immediately raised, and every part of the house was searched, except a water-closet, which is behind the shop. No oac having been found con cealed in the premises, Mr. Foster felt satisfied that if the thieves had entered the premises they had been alarmed, and had gone off without taking any thing. He had been up stairs, however, but a few minutes, when he heard a chair overturned in the shop, and on going down he discovered, notwith standiisg the vigilant search he had made, that some persons had concealed themselves in the house, and had carried off the property before-mentioned. The thieves were evidently in a great hurry, as they left behind goods to the amount of 2,0001., the principal part of which was displayed in the window and in other parts of the shop. It is supposed that the thieves had concealed themselves in the water-closet; in fact, the other parts of the house were so thoroughly searched after the boy returned with the beer, that it is impossible they could be concealed elsewhere. Some of the property that was stolen was manufactured by Mr. Foster, and therefore could be identified ; but the strong resemblance be tween many other articles of jewellery by different makers, and bearing /40 private mark, of the descrip tion that were stolen, would render it impos s ibl e f or him to swear to them. A reward of one hundred guineas has been offered for the apprehensien of the robbers. HOP INTELLIGENCE. The I-lop Plantations are reported to be looking well, though the mould is extensive. In some parts the pro prietors are stripping the leaves off the sine, in order, if possible, to remedy its influence.—Maidstone Journal. The very heavy rains of late are considered rather un favourable to the plantations, and in the Weald there is some fire-blast as well as mould, but at present there is no appearance of misfortune worthy of notice. There is plenty of bine strong and healthy, and an abundant crop is anticipated. —Maidstone Gazette. The hops since our last report, on the whole have been progressively improving. In some few grounds the monk, has made its appearance. We hear of one plantation, of eleven acres, greatly infested ; the majority of grounds, however, are entirely clear. Generally speaking, the plant is knotting op for burr, and an abundant crop is antici pated with sonic certainty.—Kentish Chronicle. 1/, BIRTHS.
