At the Guildhall, on Tuesday morning, a large number of persons attended before the sitting Magis trates—the Worshipful the Mayor, and Captain Foote, C. Tripe, E. St. Aubyn, G. F. Somerville, and J. Ram sey, Esqrs., in order to ascertain what steps it was ad visable to take to ()halm compensation for glass which had been wilfully broken during the election, by a party of drunken and riotms individuals, who composed part of Mr. Dawson's precession. The most wilful and infa mous destruction of property took place on that occasion by a party of drunken miscreants, disappointed at the re sult of the contest, rnd excited to acts of violence by men more culpable than themselves. The law, as explained by the clerk to the Magistrates as bearing upon the cases, is of arch a kind as to give many of the party an opportunity of escaping that punishment which they richly deserved, yet we hope some of them will be iden tified and summoned before the bench. The clerk to the Magistrates informed those present that compensation for the injury of property could not be claimed from the county, unless that injury was effected under certain cir cumstances ; namely, by persons riotously assembled, to demolish, pull down, or destroy, any house or build ing, or place of that nature ; then compensation could be obtained from the hundred or county in which the pre mises are situate. The law provided that if any persons riotously and tumultuously assembled together to pull down, demolish, or destroy any house or building, com pensation should be made by the hundred or county in which such house or building was situate , whether the the parties offending could be identified or not. The present cases, therefore, clearly did not come under that provi sion. While, therefore, the Magistrates would be most ready, as on all occasions, to go into any case in the ordinary way, where the parties who broke the glass could be identified, they had no power to afford redress to those who had glass broken, who were unable to point out the persons who did it.— Devonport Telegraph. GENERAL ASSEMBLY'S FAST.—We beg to warn Dissenters against lending any countenance to the General Assembly's fast to-morrow. Persons who feel alarm about the Church, or have been instrumental in leading her into her present difficulties, have a right to fix any day they think proper for fasting and humilia tion ; but these are matters with which the community at large have no concern. It is intolerable that any body of ecclesiastics should have power to interrupt business during a whole day, whenever it suits their purpose ; and it is clearly the duty of the public to abstain from flattering their p r etensions by seeming to obey to e their m andates. Many persons, we are aware, are apt m brace occasions when they think little business will be done, to enjoy themselves in the country, or some holi day amusement ; but, at a time when the clergy . of the Kirk are displaying unusual arrogance, it is incumbent on Dissenters, as well as on all liberal Churchmen, to show that they despi se their authority, by pursuing their customary avocations. It will be seen from our Town Council proceedings, that the Magistrates are to sit in the Police and Bailie Courts as usual. We are also glad to observe, by a letter from Sir Edward Lees, that the delivery of letters by the P o st-office will suffer no in terruption. A number of th e Dalkeith merchants have likewise resolved to resist the attempt to postpone the grain market in that town.—Edinburgh Paper. CITY DISPENSARY. --Yesterday the half yearly meeting of the Governors of this charity took place at the Die peusary in Queen-street, Cheapside. It appeared .from the haf-yearly report that upwards of 2,000 poor apylicants had been relieved since January, the greater proportion of whom laboured under small-pox or influenza. 'f he financial state ment showed that the funds were not commensurate to the many demands on the institution. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT—JuIy 23. (Before Mr. Commissioner Bowxii. ) RE THOMAS HOLLOWAY. The hearing of this case excited very considerable interest on account of the celebrity of the insolvent, he being the pro prietor of " Holloway's Ointment." From the description given in the schedule, it appeared that he had formerly re sided in France. since in various places, and lastly at 144, Strand. The amount of debts in his schedule was stated to be 3,059/., and his assets 5201. The cause of his insolvency he attributed to his expenditure exceeding his income. Mr. Cooke appeared on behalf of Messrs. Peter Ashnell, Burrell, and Edward Paterson, solicitors, of White Horse court, Lombard-street. Mr. Woodroffe appeared for the in solvent. Mr. Cooke—How many creditors have you in your sche dule? Insolvent-204. Mr. Cooke —How many are there in it for newspaper ad vertisements-190? Insolvent—Yes. Mr. Cooke—What property have you to give up to your creditors ? Insolvent—Not any. Mr. Cooke—Did you not give them your acceptance for 301., half the amount due to Messrs. Burrell and Paterson, payable four months after date, dated 29th May, 1840 ? In solvent—Yes. Mr. Cooke—Was it honoured? Insolvent—lt was not. 111 r. Cooke—Did they not make frequent applications to you for payment? Insolvent—They did, and I sent them a 101. note in a letter, by a Mr. Hibbert, on the 6th of October, 1840, but it was rejected. [A letter was here put in and read by Mr. Cooke, dated Manchester, October, 7, 1840, addressed to Messrs. Burrell and Paterson.] Mr. Cooke—Were you at Manchester on the 7th of Octo ber? Insolvent—No, I was in London ; but I wrote as if there, with a view that they would renew the bill and accept 101. Mr. Cooke—Have you not given a bill of sale to your mother ? Insolvent—Yes. Mr. Cooke—What is hername? Insolvent—Mary Holloway. Mr. Cooke—When? Insolvent—ln 1840. Mr. Cooke—Who prepared it? Insolvent—Mr. Spencer, my attorney, in this Court. Mr. Cooke—What property did you make over to your mother? Insolvent—Al the property I had, of every kind. Mr. Cooke—Then thebona tide creditors got nothing ? In solvent—My mother was the greatest creditor. I owed her altogether 8001. Mr. Cooke—What was the consideration ? Insolvent—For board and lodging, and mosey lent (1951. from 1836 to 1840). Mr. Cooke—But why gve your mother all ? Insolvent— Because she was the most pressing. Mr. Woodroffe—Execution has been levied, and there is 25/. to be paid into this Court. There had been a judge's order ob tained, and there was an issue to be tried. Mr. Commissioner BowEN—I will not discharge the insol vent until the issue is tried. Mr. Cooke—The bill of sale must be brought into Court, and cancelled. Mr. Commissioner BOWEF—Certainly. The insolvent, who had been out on bail, was remanded to prison. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT—Chelmsford, July 23. CIVIL SIDE. BLACK AND OTHERS V. NEW COLLEGE, OXFORD. This case was not brought to a conclusion until a late hour on Thursday night. The evidence for the defence, consisting entirely of ancient teases and other documents, occupied upwards of eight hours. Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT ten made a most able reply on behalf of the plaintiffs' case, and remarked upon the difficulty of ascertaining the actual meaning of the expressions used in such very ancient deeds as those that had been produced by the defendants, and also begged the Jury to remember that the antiquaries who had been produced as witnesses, themselves appeared to he en tirely in the dark as to the meaning of some of the ex pressions made use of, and that they admitted that many of them might be interpreted in very different ways, and this being the case, he put it to the Jury whether such evidence ought to weigh against the proof of living wit nesses, who had themselves, for a great number of years, paid the modus now sought to be established. Mr. SeKjeant TADDY was then about to address the Jury, when they intimated that they had made up their minds, and they immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiffs; thus establishing the modus as of right being attached to the lani in question. The extent of the pro perty so situated is said to be nearly ten thousand acres, and the property interest at stake was said to be, whether, under the modus, threepence an acre should be paid, or whether, under the ordinary mode of taking the tithe, about ten shillings an acre could be demanded. M`INTOSII V. THI; WARDENS AND OTHERS OF NEW COL- LEGE, OXFORD. This was an action heard before Mr. Sergeant Taddy and a Special Jury, the plaintiff setting up for certain land in his possessum on total exemption from the pay ment of tithe, and the Jury found a verdict for the plain tiff. (Before Lore Chief Justice TINDAL.) COLYERD V. BRAND. - _ - This was an action bought against the defendant for defamation of the plaintiff's character. When the case was called on, Mr. James, who ap peared for the plaintiff, intimated that the matter had been arranged, and said that the Jury would be spared from hearing the details, which ho described as being of a painful character. Mr. Sergeant STIEE, al behalf of the defendant, said he was instructed to statethat what had been said against the plaintiff was uttered in a moment of excitement, and that the defendant regretted what had occurred. A verdict for the plaintiff, with nominal damages, was then given. OXFORD ClRCUlT—Stafford, July 22. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) William Simpson was indicted for the wilful murder of Wm. Hewitt, on Saturday, the 19th of June last. Mr. Greaves and Mr. Kynnersley conducted the prosecu tion. The prisoner had no counsel. It appeared, that on the morning of Sunday, the 20th of June, a person of the name of Holland wect to a stone pit at Armshead, a hill on Wetley Moor, for the purpose of fetching some sand, and there saw extended at full length the body of the deceased, who was an old man of about sixty years of age, with the head lying on a stone in a shockingly mangled state. The body was at that time quite stiff and cold, showing that the deceased had been dead several hours, and Hol land observed that the flap of his trousers was down, and that one of the pockets was cut off. Upon the discovery of the body a search was made round the pit, and under a heap of stones was found a large stone of about five or six inches in length, covered with blood and hair. The house of the prisoner was about 300 or 400 yards from the spot where the body was found, and it was proved that about eleven o'clock on the morning of Saturday, the deceased Hewitt was seen going up towards Armshead from the prisoner's house in his company. This was the last time the deceased was seen alive. About two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day some young ladies passed by the pit, and saw a man lying there, with his feet towards the entrance (the position in whick the body of the deceased was found), but thinking that he was intoxicated and asleep, they took no particular notice of the circumstance, and passed on their way. It appeared that the old man, who did not bear the best of characters, and was well known to Mr. Brutton, the governor of Stafford gaol, was a person of penurious habits, and had scraped together a small sum of money, which he always carried about him—a circumstance which was shown to have come to the knowledge of the prisoner on the Thursday before the murder was committed. The prisoner at that time complained that he was badly off, and on the Satur day afternoon he went to a place called Bucknell, about a mile from the scene of the murder, and asked to pay hi s s hot at a public-house, where he had run up a small score. He there produced a sovereign and a purse, the latter of which was identified as the property of the deceased. He after wards went to Hanley, about a mile further on, and there changed another sovereign, and purchased a smock-frock for Bs., his upper dress consisting at that time of a jacket with sleeves. This jacket was produced at the trial, and the left arm was found to be marked with stains of blood, which the prisoner had accounted for by stating that his nose had bled while he was in the lock-up house, but it was shown that there were no stains of blood either on the straw or any other part of the cell in which he was confined. After obtaining the smock-frock, the prisoner went to another shop at Han ley, and there laid out 11. Is. 3d. in the purchase of other goods, paying for them a sovereign and Is. 3d. in other coin. Afterwards he went to a beer-house, and there paid away some more money, and he also paid 14s. 9d. to get a jacket, which he had pledged, out of pawn. Altogether no less than five sovereigns and a-half were seen in his possession, and he told a person named Lamb, on the Sunday morning, that lie would lend him a sovereign if he liked, and that he had six sovereigns hidden in a secret place where no one could find them. The deceased was shown to have 'had about 15 or 16 sovereigns in his possession just before his death. It will be seen that the case, of which the above statement is in its main features an accurate outline, was one purely of circum stantial, evidence, collected from a great number of wit nesses, and that it rested principally upon the previous po verty and sudden affluence of the prisoner, combined with the fact of his having been seen in the company of the deceased a few hours before his death, and with the circum stance of the purse of the deceased being found in his pos session. Mr. Justice COLTMAN summed up the evidence with great care and minuteness, and The Jury, after deliberating together for about a quarter of an hour, returned a verdict of Not Guilty, to the evident as tonishment of the Judge and the whole Court. NORFOLK ClRCUlT—Cambridge, July 22. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) DAINTREE V. lIUTCMINSIN. This was an action upon a contract, by which the parties agreed that their respective greyhounds should ran a match of three courses for the sum of 1001., "p. p." (" play or pay.") Mr. Kelly and Mr. Byles were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Andrews and Mr. Gunning for the defendant. The plaintiff, Captain Daintree, resides at Fenstanton, near Cambridge, and is a magistrate and agentleman of fortune ; the defendant lives near Nottingham, and is alto a man of property, and both parties are the owners of several greyhounds, and very fond of the sport of coursing. They were at the Louth coursing match at the end of November last, and after dinner the conversation turned upon the comparative merits of the plaintiff's greyhound King Cole, and the defendant's Grasper, which ended in the parties signing the following agreement ; " Mr. Hutchinson challenges Capt. Daintree to run a greyhound against his for 1001. the best of three courses in one day. Mr. Hutchinson names his red andwhite dog Grasper, Capt. Daintree names his fawn and white dog King Cole. Each party is to name a judge, and the judges a referee. The match to be run on the Wednesday in the Newmarket February meeting, 1841, p. p." It appeared by the evidence that there exists at Newmarket a coursing club, which holds its meetings in the first week in February and November in each year; of this club the plaintiff is a member and the defendant is not. Before the time when the agreement was signed, the Newmarket February meeting had been fixed for Tuesday, the 2d of that month, and the coursing was to take place on the four following days. On Tuesday, the 2d of February. the defendant was at Newmarket ready to run his dog, but there was so severe a frost, that it was found impossible to run, and the members of the club, who met and dined together on that day, adjourned the courting until the " first open Tuesday," which proved to be the 17th of that month. The defendant, who had travelled neatly ICO miles, was prepared to run the match, but the plaintiff was not, and the former therefore said the match ought to be off, but the plaintiff gave him written notice that he should insist upon its " coming off" on the adjournment-day. The defendant then left Newmarket, and did not return on the 17th, the day on which by adjournment the coursing of the club took place ; the plaintiff was on the ground with " King Cole," and after the secretary to the club had in due form made proclamation for " Grasper" and his master and they appeared not, he de• dared the 100/. to be forfeited by the defendant. Mr. Baron ALDERSON ' in this state of things, was of opinion that the action could not be sustained. The parties make a contract that their dogs shall run a match on the 3d of Feb ruary, for, as the Newmarket meeting was f.xed before the contract was entered into, that date was to be considered as im ported into the agreement. The day arrives ; the defendant is prepared with his dog, and ready to tan, but owing to the state of weather it is found impossible to start. 'the defendant was not bound to run his dog on any other day than that on which he had agreed that he should run, unless he made a fresh agreement; he was no party to the postponement by the club of the coursing, and he was not to be kept from his home and business for a fortnight or a month, or to return at the time to which the club thought proper to adjourn the meet. ing. The plaintiff was not ready to run en the day mentioned in the agreement, and therefore was not entitled to treat the 100/. as forfeited by the def endant. The Jury then, under the Learned Jud ge's direction found a verdict for the defendant. This trial excited grea t interest, and several members of the cluh_ e a n n t. d gentlemen connected w i t h the sporti ng wor ld" were pre APPENDIX.

(Before Lord DENMA N. ) CRAVEN AND OTHERS V. THORNHILL. CROWN COURT. (Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL.) John Smith, aged 25, and Thomas Bennett, aged 28, were indicted for having. burglariously broken and entered the house of William Bones, putting hin into .bodily fear, and stealing therefrom two pound s fis shillings in money, a silver watch, and various other articles. Mr. Johnson prosecuted end-Mr. Chambers defended the prisoners. The prosecutor, a very old man, resided in a lonel' cottage at Lumdcn Hills, in this county. About mid night on the 4th January"lua, lie heard a noise out sidt his dwelling. He got out of bed, and seizing an ole sword, went to the window, and observed in his g ardei. a man armed with a 'bludgeon. The pro secutor, challenged him, but before he co uld obtain an answer he saw a light pass from one of his outhouses to his cot tage, and immediately the pioncr Smith, follo wed b y another man, entered his sleeping room. There were refreshments on the table, with which they regaled them selves. At that time there wee three men in the house, the two prisoners and a man of the name of Springin, who ,rs s , at the last Assizes, transported for life for another mv , nice. They then ordered the old man up to bed, and in a short time Smits, who on entering had L 'Ocen the sword from the prosecutor, went to his bei , ..{,side and demanded his money. He gave .him Nshat time 51 ., which he said was all he ha d . „Bennett afterwards entered the room, and was seen '";by the prosecutor to take a jacket that hung At OW foot of the bed. The prisoners after wards made \the old man get tip and supply them with so me w i ne and on his return he saw Smith with his (prosecutor's ?breeches in his bands, from the pocket of which- he took sovereign. The prisoners also took a great number of 0t47 articles, inclncinga silver watch and ci,rne wearing apporel, The dawn stairs, - and after carousing for some time, Smith and Spengin returned to the old man's room, here the former stood over him with the sword in his hand, and demanded more money ; finding, however, that they could not succeed, they bound him hand and foot with a clothes line, and in that state left him. About seven o'clock in the morning, the prosecutor succeeded in releasing himself, and immediately gave an alarm. About a fortnight afterwards, the prisoners were apprehended at Grays, in Kent, and were distinctly identified by the prosecutor. The stolen watch was discovered at a sil versmith's at Dartford, to whom it had been sold a day or two after the robbery ; and the other articles were pledged at a pawnbroker's in the same town, but neither the silversmith nor the pawnbroker would swear to the identity of the prisoners. Considerable amusemennt was created in the Court by the policeman's narrative of the mode in which the prisoners were presented before the prosecutor in order to be identified. The poor old man was first put to bed, and the prisoners were then placed in the positions and attitudes described by him as attract ing his particular attention when the robbers were in the room, and he then declared his perfect satisfaction that they were two of the men. Mr. Cuasinints addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoners, and commented in very strong terms upon the course adopted by the policeman as a means of identi fying the prisoners ; and suggested that the prosecutor, who was so very old, had been practised upon by the tableaux-vivant described by the policeman, and induced to believe that the prisoners were the actual robbers. The LEARNED JUDGE summed up at considerable length, and observed that all the ingredients necessary to constitute a burglary had been clearly proved, and the whole case turned upon the identity of the prisoners. He thought that very unfair means had been resorted to for the purpose of identifying the prisoners. It was a practice neither warranted by precedent or principle, and lie hoped such an exhibition would never occur again. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver dict of Guilty against both prisoners, and The LEARNED JUDGE sentenced them to be severally transported for the term of ten years. This was a Special Jury case. Mr. Cresswell, Mr. Hildyard, and Mr. H. Hill appeared for the ph intiff, and Mr. Knowles, assisted by Mr. Tomlinson and Mr. Watson, conducted the defence. The plaintiffs were three brothers, who occupied twn farms lately tenanted by their deceased father, arid which belonged to the defendant, a gentleman of very extensive possessions in this and in other countries. It appears to have been the cus tom of Mr. Thornhill to let his farms to tenants from year to year, upon such terms as to the course of husbandry and the coming in and goir.g out of tenants as were expressed in cer tain old leases of the same property. It was alleged that the father of the plaintiffs had been let in on these terms, but for some reason or other notice was given to the sons to quit, and on quitti ng th ey c l a i me d to b e va l u ed out, according to the custom of the county. The defendant had just before parted with his steward, Mr. Oastler, on account of some difference between them, and who had taken a great quantity of documents away with him, and among the rest the two leases which related to the two farms in question. The under steward was also dismissed about the same time, and the new steward having no means of ascertaining that the claim of the plaintiffs to go out according to the custom of the county was not right, appointed a valuer on behalf of the defendant, who valued with one appointed by the plaintiffs. The two valuers, going upon the supposition that the custom of the county was to be their rule, after some differing, agreed to fix the RIM to be paid to the plaintiffs on going out at 2851. Subsequently Oastler was worsted in an action brought by Mr. Thornhill against him, and then he gave up the documents, and the old leases were discovered. The defendant refused to pay for the valuation, which it was said was obtained by the fraudulent statement of the plaintiffs, who then brought the present ac tion. The defendants paid 1101. into Court, and the plaintiffs now sought to recover the remaining 1751. Mr. KNOWLES addressed the jury on behalf of the defen dant, and produced witnesses to prove the terms under which old Craven came in ; that the old leases were read to him, and that he was made fully aware of their contents, and assented to the terms; also, that the plaintiffs,,, in statha, 00....tervm, of holding to the aefgaint's present steward, had suppressed these facts, and denied that they held under any express terms, but according to the custom of the county. Mr. CRESSWELL replied, and His LORDSI4IP, in his observations, seemed to think that the appointment by the agent of the defendant of a valuer, and his valuation having been made, were facts too strong to admit of the result of that measure being rebutted by the evidence which had been adduced. DUNCVAFT V. ALBRECHT. This case came befoo the Court upon appeal from the decision of his Honour„ the Vice-Chancellor, overruling a demurrer filed by the defendant to the bill of the plaintiff. The plaintiff ;`,led his bill for the purpose of obtaining the specific /:Irformance of an agreement which had been entered N'oto between the plaintiff and the defendant, by which, itt was alleged on behalf of the plaintiff, the defendant agreed to eel' to him fifty shares in the London and South-Western Railway Company at the price of 461. per share. ,To this bill the defendant put in a demurrer, asserting ,that no agreement in writ•• ing had been entered into by hitt to sell the shares in question, and that therefore 4he pllaintiff had no equity entitling him to call for the interpo:Zition of the Court. On the case coming before the Vicel-Chancellor, his Honour overruled the demurrer, and froin that decision the present appeal was brought. Mr. Richards and Mr. Mylne appeared oh'. ,behalf of the appellant, and Mr. Wigram and Mr. PigOt `-.l..vere in support of the order of the Court below. The LORD CHANCELLOR, without calling upon ahe two latter gentlemen to address the Court, gave judg'7 ment, affirming the decision of the Vice-Chancellor. with costs. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, July 23. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor was occupied the whole day with hearing short causes and unopposed petitions, none of Which possessed any points worthy o f a particular report. SECONDARIES' COURT, July 23. (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) GREVILL V. BROWNING. This was an action to recover the sum of 161. lfls. 7d., -fur g .Aals sold and delivered. The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted. It appeared in the evidence that during the time the goods were being supplied, the plaintiff removed from his shop, and commenced business as a meat-salesman, leav ing the management of his former business to his step son, a young man about nineteen years of age, who had frequently solicited custom in his own name, saying that his father had resigned all connexion with the business, and some of the bills furnished to the defendant in the present action were made out in the name of the son. Mr. PAYNE, for the defence, argued that the debt was contracted with the son who was a minor, and might have sued by his next friend ; but if he did so he would be liable tor the costs, and it was more convenient, there fore, to bring the action in the present form. He begged the Jury to consider that as some of the bills were made out in the son's name, his client might be again sued and compelled to pay. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver dict for the plaintiff in the full amount claimed. Verdict for the plaintiffs—Damages, 175/.

PRICE 5d CORK, JULY 20. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR —The name of Hall appearing upon the Tory side in Ireland has surprised many ; but, Sir, to any person well acquainted with. that country, it cannot be matter of disappointment. The well-informed Irishman, he .vho has travelled Ireland from her Very centre to her extremity, must be well acquainted. with many of Mrs. S. C. Hall's " Sketches," which in truth breathe love of country. Now, Sir, I am an ardent admirer of my coentgwornan's talents, but I am by no means willing to allow tidmiration of the writer to do an injustice to my unfortunate country. Ireland's miseries, Mrs. S. C. Hall would make the world believe, are owing to the procrastination of her countrymen. As well might we trace the poverty of the Spitalfields weavers, and set down the squalid misery that surrounds them, to their own want of exer tion, as to say Irishmen have the power of bettering their condition, when it is notorious that she has no voice in the Parliament of England. But Ireland will never want tyrants while England can find a degenerate Irishman willing to forge fetters' for his unfortunate country. If anything is wanting to prove it, I refer the doubtful to the fact of Mrs. Hall's husband offering himself as a leader to the vile Orange faction, which would annihilate every vestige of civil and religious liberty, and make Ireland a pandemonium of horrors. Mrs. Hall's writings, though pleasingly descriptive, have ever had a tendency to sink the moral and physical character of the Irish in the estimation of the unlearned of her readers, who had not, of course, the opportu nity of judging for themselves, by tours of pleasure, &c. Whatever might have influenced such policy, it is not for me to say ; but this I cannot help remarking, for my own part I have ever looked upon Mrs. Hall's writings as class productions, with a tidy smattering of blarney to nitYlify'the pisantry, and make good men give credit to their truth. I remain, Mister Editor your humble servant, and the mortal hater of reneg a d e Inshmen—(sweet bad luck to them 1), Capt. ROCK k . CHARTIST AVOWALS.

EDITOR—YOU seem determined either to obtusely misunderstand, or factiously misrepresent the objects of the Chartists, which are certainly not those of supporting or of defending Tory doctrines, but rather of setting both parties (Whig and Tory) by the ears, in order that honest men may come by their own. With all due deference to your editorial capacity, I shall continue to be A CHARTIST. Horton, July 23 1841. BELL V. This was an action of trover to recover the value of 20 sacks of flour, which the defendant had appropriated to his own use. The plaintiff was a miller at Colches ter, and the defendant was a carrier in the same neigh bourhood, and was generally employed by the plaintiff to convey flour to his agents, Messrs. Hunter and Co ventry, in London. When the goods were sent, they were either fetched direct from the vessel by Messrs. Hunter, or landed at some of the wharfs, in the name of the plaintiff, till they were called for. In the month of May, 1840, the plaintiff sent 20 sacks of flour by a vessel belonging to the defendant, and which were lauded at Nicholson's Wharf, London-bridge, in the name of the defendant. They remained there till the 14th of July, when they were delivered by an order from the defendant to a factor of the name of Berry, who sold them at 545. per sack. It was proved that when goods were put on board, verbal orders were generally given respecting then' ; and that on the voyage in question the captain, finding that Messrs. Hunter did not send for the flour am usual, landed it at Nicholson's, without giving any directions about it. A demand and refusal to give up the property before the commencement of the action was also proved. On behalf of the defendant it was proved that on the 2d July the plaintiff assigned over his property for the benefit of his creditors, and it was contended that the conversion of the property by the defendant did not take place till after that period, consequently the plaintiff had no right of actjon. The LEARNED JUDGE was of opinion that the con version did not take place tiff the 14th July, when the flour was handed over to Berry, consequently the plaintiff must be nonsuited. Plaintiff nonsuited, but leave was given to enter a ver- WESTERN ClRCUlT—Devizes, July 22. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Mainz.) Richard Fuller, Charles Palmer, and James Hobbs, were indicted for having, on the 9th of May, committed a rape upon Harriet Godding. Mr. Merewether conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Ball defended the prisoner. It appeared from the statement of Harriet Godding that she was twenty-eight years of age, that her husband, to whom she had been married seven years, was a journeyman bricklayer, that he had been out of employment two months, and they were reduced to the lowest ebb—they had no money, no home. On Saturday, the Bth of May, they had not eaten any thing all day, but in the evening they called at a gentleman's house near Swindon. They made their case known to him, and happily he knew the neighbourhood from whence her husband came. He gave them supper, and allowed them to sleep in one of his cow-sheds. On the next morning (Sunday) he gave them money wherewith to purchase their breakfast, told them they might sleep again in his cowshed, but desired them not to come till after dark, as he did not like to see poor people about his premises. The man and his wife then wandered away, and in the afternoon went into a public-house to get some refreshment, where they met the three prisoners. Fuller, finding that Godding had no money, gave him a pint of beer, which he and his wife drank. Fuller then began making over tures to the wife ; but she would not listen to him. He, how ever, declared he would have his will of her that night. The husband, a poor half-starved creature, asked what was the matter, upon which Fuller, who has but one hand, but has af fixed to the arm an iron stump, knocked down the husband with this stump. The wife interfered, and this brute then struck her on the forehead with the same weapon. The poor people were frightened, and left the house, intending to pro ceed to their miserable hovel. They were followed by these wretches and overtaken, and they then Gne and all committed the offence for which they were indicted. All this was ac companied by the most horrible language and most brutal treatment, and is perhaps one of the worst cases that has been heard of in recent times. For the defence several witnesses were called with a view of showing that the woman was intoxicated, that she had winked at the men, and had conducted herself with great levity, but they broke down in their cross-examination. The woman gave her testimony exceedingly well, and no one could doubt the accuracy of her statement, in which she was supported by other witnesses. The Learned Judge having summed up, .The Jury found all the prisoners Guilty. Mr. Justice MAULE then told them, that had the offence been committed some time since, their lives must inevitably have been sacrificed, but as an Act of Parliament had now passed taking away the punishment of death for this offence, although it had not yet come into operation, still he should only order judgment of death to be recorded against them. They would however, be sent out of the country. A feeling of horror pervaded the Court during the whole of the trial, the details exhibited such a case of brutality. Edward Ladd was convicted of having assaulted Ann Per rett and Emma Perrett, being each under the age of 12 years, with intent, &c. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was the uncle of the little girls, and that he had been in the habit of conducting himself in an indecent manner towards these little children. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to one year's imprisonment and hard labour. This was a case of most horrible depravity. ST. BOSWELL'S FAIR-SCOTLAND This great annual market for almost every descrip tion of stock, was held on Monday last, About the usual number of lambs were brought forward ; but, as buyers had determined to purchase at lower prices than in former years, few sales were effected before seven o'clock, A.M.. an hour at which, for some years past, one third of such stock used to be disposed of. Ex posers, however, persisted in demanding the prices which they had formerly obtained, and for the best kinds of lambs, had almost succeeded in realising the prices of last year. J. Murray, Esq., of Lauder Barnes, sold his bred lambs, ewe and wedder, at 225. per head ; Mr. Hewit, of East Maines, sold his wedder lambs, of the same description, at 235. ; the current prices for stock of the same bre ed, ran at 18s. to 235. ; few, if any, obtained more. Half and three-parts bred lambs, of which the market was chiefly composed, might be said to run at from 12s. to 20s. Mr. J. Bryden sold 400 of his Glenormisl on lambs, all in one lot, at 18s. per head, with only a small luck-penny ; Mr. James Bryden sold another lot of lambs, ewe and wedder, which appeared to be more than half-bred, at 18s. 6d. ; Mr. A. Purves, one of Lord Lauderdale's stewards, sold a lot of wed der lambs, from Lauder Castle, :at 19s. per head, which was considered to be a high price ; Mr. Robert Ballan tyne sold a lot of ewe and wedder lambs, half-bred, at 18s. 6d. ; Mr. Wright, Carfrae, sold his lot at 17s. 6d. ; there was one lot, three parts bred, sold at 21s. 6d., but we do not recollect the name of the seller. We did not observe any Cheviot lambs in the market, it being too early in the season for such stock. There were few old sheep in the fair. We saw only one lot of black faced wedders, which were said to be sold at 21s. each. Young sheep, if fat, sold at about sd. per lb. Rough hogs were so very inferior, that we do not think fit to mention the prices which they obtained. There was a great attendance of wool-buyers, and although there was rather a good demand, still prices did not run very high. The best parcels of half-bred hog wool sold at from 265. to 275. per stone of 241 b. Cheviot white and half-bred ewe, at from 225. to 255.; laid Cheviot, at 145., 155., and 165.; black faced white, at 135., 145., and 15s. ; but in a market such as St. Boswell's there often occur prices both above and below those quoted. The show of cattle was only middling ; those fit for the butchers sold at from 6s. 6d. to Gs. 9d. per imperial stone, of the best description, but inferior quality could be bought for less; grazing quality were less sought after than we have seen, although prices were very similar ro,o those obtained in neighbouring markets. Good mulch cows still main tained the large prices which they have obtained in other places during the course of this summer. Draught and saddle horses sold at good prices, but those of an inferior sort, and those worn out, were, as usual, ill to dispose of. PRICES AND WAGES. " Dear bread means high wages ; cheap bread means Low wages."—Tory axiom. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—During the last few weeks an enormous increase has taken place in the price of bread. Has a correspond ing increase taken place in the wages of labour ? Let the deluded dupes, who voted for the monopolist candi dates at the last election, answer. I would venture to suggest, that, in order to put an end to the repetition of the fallacy, that the rate of wages is regulated by the price of bread, it would be advisable that one of your readers, residing in Buckinghamshire, and another resid ing in Manchester, should furnish you weekly, for the next three months, with an account of the price of the quartern loaf, and their weekly rate of wages. A small rise in wages during the next two months may be ex pected in the agricultural districts, in consequence of the increased demand for labour during the harvest, and an allowance should be made accordingly. It would also be desirable to procure an account of the prices of wheat, and the rates of wages, in the agricultural districts, dur ing the months of July, August, and September, 1835 and 1840. These returns, when completed, would form a statistical document of the highest importance, as de monstrating the utter falsehood and absurdity of the Tory axiom, which is the motto of this letter. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ANTI-DEVIL'S TAX. Boz.—We understand that a new work, edited by this celebrated author, under the title of " The Pic-nic Papers," is announced for publication under the auspices of that indefatigable and successful caterer for public taste, Mr. Colburn ; and which is, as we are informed, to be illustrated by George Cruikshank, Phiz, &c. &c. Resolution is beautifully defined by Bishop Hall, who observes, that tranquillity consists in a steadiness of the mind ; and how can that vessel, which is beaten upon by contrary waves and winds, and tottereth to either part, be said to keep a steady course ? Reso 'ration is the only mother of security. The Triennial Competition of Pipers for Prizes given by the Highland Society of London, took place on Sa turday last, the 17th inst., in the Theatre Royal. The house was crowded, every seat appearing to be occupied, and the proceedings of the day seemed to excite the most lively interest on the part of all present. We do not recol lect ever to have been present at a competition in which so many excellent pipers appeared as competitors. The performance throughout was of an unusually high cha racter, and we have no doubt that this circumstance must have materially added to the difficult duty imposed upon the judges. Although the performance, from the number of competitors, entitled from their playing to appear in public, was very long, lasting from twelve o'clock until near six, the lively attention of the audi ence did not appear at any time to flag, and we were de lighted to see the kind and good-humoured plaudits with which all the efforts of the performers were met on the part of the audience. Few of the peculiar and characteristic customs of the Highlanders now remain to us, except their national music, national dancing, national dress, and national lan guage—we may say none,—and of all these, except the latter, a very favourable specimen was exhibited on Sa turday. When the curtain drew up, the martial tones of the bagpipes were heard, and the whole competitors, to the number of sixty, of as fine looking meal as we ever saw marched on the stage, dressed in their national cos tume, with three pipers at their head. After performing a few evolutions, they ranged themselves round the stage, and the exhibition commenced, consisting of the various Pibrochs played by the different competitors, in terspersed with reel and strathspey dancing, and the cha racteristic sword dance. Notwithstanding the deprecia tory remarks of most antiquaries and musical historians, we consider the bagpipe, or rather the great Highland• pipe, to be the ancient and the peculiar instrument of the Highlanders. There is no doubt that the bagpipe was common to almost all the ancient inhabitants of Europe, and especially to the Celtic tribes, but by them it was and still is by those who retain it, merely used for pur poses of festivity and recreation. By the Highlanders alone it was at an early period adopted as an instrument of music in war. Its power was increased by them until it assumed the shape of the great Highland pipe, and in this sense it is an instrument of music altogether peculiar to them, while the music composed for that in strument is absolutely so. The various kinds of martial music played on this instrument—the " Piobaireachd," or battle-piece; the " Spaidearachd," or march ; the "Cruinneachadh," or gathering ; the "Failte," or sa lute ; and the " Cumha," or lament—form their charac teristic music of a kind quite peculiar to themselves, and differing from all others ; and comparing their history with other mountain people, we shall not say but what it has had its effect upon their character as a warlike peo ple. The last generation saw the Highlanders animated by its heart-stirring strains penetrate into the very heart of England to place the last of the Stuarts on the throne of his fathers, and, in our own time, the wild glens and mountains of Spain have re-echoed its tones in the march of victory through the Peninsula, while the plains of Waterloo can tell of its influence there. There is another point of view in which the preserva tion of this ancient music is of importance. We know that there is nothing which gives a higher tone to the character than the spirit of nationality, and the conduct of every one will be regulated by a different spirit when he feels that he belongs to a country or a nation to which his own individual acts will do honour or dishonour. The character of the Highlanders, as a people, is deservedly very high, and we feel certain that there was no High lander present who did not feel, when he heard the mar tial tones of the pibroch, that he belonged to a people whose high reputation he was bound by his own con duct to maintain. At the conclusion of the performances, the prizes were . delivered to the successful comp et i tors by a Highland chieftain present, viz., Clanranald, who accompanied each by a few appropriate remarks. The prize pipe, which is the first prize, was, by a con siderable majority, awarded to Donald M'lnnes, from Lochaber, and in giving this prize it was explained that the judges considered him and Donald Cameron, piper to J. R. Mackenzie, Esq., of Scatwell, the two estb pipers present, but as both had previously obtained se cond prizes before, they could only now compete for the prize pipe. The prize pipe having been awarded to M'lnnes, there was no other prize for which Cameron could compete.—Edinburgh Advertiser.

MORE TORY DuINGs AT LANGLEY.—:—On Friday last a tea drinking wa s given at the Parsonage, Langley, to the Sunday School children, who were all decorated with blue bows upon the occasion. The prin cipal part of the amusement appeared to consist in shouting " down with the yellows." Is this the way in which the worthy Rector illustrates the passage, " Train up a child in the way he should go ?" It is the vulgar notion in Persia that the English as a nation, live in ships upon the water, and have no territorial possessions except in the countries of others. The present Persians seem still to have a lingering im f.pression of this sort. After the cloth was removed, and the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were drunk with enthusiasm, Captain PECHELL rose to propose the health of Lord Edward Howard, at the same time returning thanks oia behalf of the navy, which had been proposed in conjunc tion with the army. Lord E. Howartn said he had to return them his best and sincere thanks for the honour they had done him in drinking his health. When he came to them a short time ago, he commenced public life, He had had little experience, which rendered him incapable of ex pressing his feelings as he could wish. At this time they had lost the cause for which they bad contended —they had lost the cause of the country in general. He lamented to state that the result of the general election was so decidedly against the present Government, but it was not by the voice of the people. The cause of it was the neglect of the registration.—(Hear, hear.) They could not conceal that, for the time, they were overcome. The result of the elections would, no doubt, be held out against them, especially in the West Riding of York shire, which he was astonished at, as it was the heart of a manufacturing district. He must repeat, that it arose from the want of registering, and th e s t rong feel ing of the agriculturists in that district. Sir Robert Peel would, although he had a large majority. have the greatest difficulties to contend with. They (the Tories) had long been out of power, and there were a great many hungry expectants to feed.—(Hesx, hear, and laughter.) The proceedings of the late—he begged pardon, he meant the present Government, al though he might almost say the late Government, as it would soon fall, would fill a glorious chapter in the annals of our country.—(Cheering.) There was no time when the people had made such great progress in being able to judge for themselves ; and if they looked back they would see the present Administration had not been, wanting in their endeavours to obtain the pre-eminence; and however much their enemies abused them, they must give them credit for voting for the benefit of the country. —(Cheers.) When the Government came into power, it was a period of great excitement ; yet there was no stretch of power used to support that excitement; but the present Ministry had not been behind in suppressing it constitutionally.— (Cheers.) Let them look for a mo ment at their foreign relations. It had been said that they had been the tools of foreign countries, because they had chosen to avoid great expenses and unneces sary wars. Our resources had, however, always been ready when wanted. On the late occasion in the Medi terranean, our resources had not been behind. The Tory party had made a great outcry that they were not formidable enough ; but if their measures had been carried we should have been at the present time involved in war instead of being, as we were now, in perfect peace. He was much disappointed at the result of the late elec tion, as he had thought that the Government had found out measures by which commerce might have been brought home for the benefit of the poor.---(Cheers.) He hoped that they had found out means to increase the prosperity without endangering the institutions of the country. Those measures had, however, been for the present turned aside. The men coming into power must either increase the taxation of the country, or take leaves out of the book of the present Government.— (Cheers.) If they increased the taxation of the coun . try they would not long. retain their places, and if they did not they would forfeit their political character. Ile (Lord Edw. H.) had been taunted with seeking place. Ho did at present receive remuneration from Govern ment—he could assure them it was no sinecure, but he should have given it up to serve the borough if he had been elected.—(Cheers.) He congratulated them that there had been no disturbance in the district during the election—the opposition to him had been carried on in the most gentlemanly and quiet manner. He concluded by saying he could not sufficiently thank them for coming into the field to support him, and he trusted they would continue their kindness. He begged leave to give the healths of " The independent electors of the Rape .of Bramber."—(Cheers.) Major ALLEN returned thanks. The healths of Captain Pechell and Mr. Gratwicke, the mover and seconder of Lord Edward Howard at the nomination, were drunk with applause. Captain PECIIELL, in returning thanks, said that the Noble Lord, and those who fought by his side, could not be blind to the defeat they had met with, but they could say that it was the fault of the registration. The whole power of the Tory interest was obtained through what they called purging the registry by t h e i r a ssociations they had en d eavoured to expunge ever y name of those who prof esse d Lib eral principles. H e h o p e d the Libe rals would exert t h emselves on t h at point.—(H ear'hear.)

He said no one felt more anxiously than he did for the success of the Noble Lord who had do n e him the honour of pro posing his health •, and he had no doubt that the name of Howard would be at the head of the poll on the next o ccasion, for he did not believe the present Member re presented the feelings of the electors. The Earl of SURREY proposed the Chairman's health. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and begged to pro pose the health of her Majesty's Ministers. Lord E. HOWARD said he had been asked to return thanks, probably because he was connected with one of the Members of the Government (Lord .Tohn Russell). He could only say that he was convinced that Noble Lord, and all her Majesty's Ministers had done all in their po wer f or t h e pu bli c goo d: The company had wished him (Lord John Russell) to be present that day, and no doubt he would if he had not been a candidate, and a successful one, too, for a lady. Hewes sure that was a sufficient exeusti for his absence. A more able statesman, or a kinder roan, was not in existence. H e (L or d E. froward) sat that the Noble Lord would not be out of office long ; they would be glad to bring the preiont Government back again. Their measures had all been for the general good of the country ; but some of their most important measures had been left in an unfinished state. They would now return into an active opposition. J. A. WIGNEY, Esq., proposed the health of Lord Fitz alan, which was received with great applause. Lord FITZALAN briefly returned thanks, and proposed the healt:i of the Members for Brighton. J. A. WIGNer, Esq., returned thanks. The Noble guests then left the festive board, accom panied by many other gentlemen, the remainder making it out a jovial night. Lord John Russell had been invited, but could not at tend, for the reason mentioned by Lord E, Howard. UNIVERSITY OF LONDON.

COMPETITION OF PIPERS. ~~^ EVENING SUN. EARL BROWNLOW AND THE METHODISTS. " TO THE RIGHT HON. EARL BROW LOW, " Gainsborough, June .25. " My LORD,—Having been required to give ip4gir possession of the small chapel which we had occupied for many years at Torksey, we find ourselves greatly in want of a new one, for the use of the Wesleyan Me thodists in that village. Your Lordship is fully aware that the chief part of the people called by the name of Methodists, like their highly respectable founder, the Rev. John Welsey, have ever been distinguished by their zealous and firm adherence to Conservative principles. We, the undersigned, therefore, beg leave to inform y our Lordship, that in our judgment it would greatly pro mote amongst our people the interest of the Hon. Mr. Cust, who is expected at Gainsborough on Tuesday next, if we could be allowed by your Lordship to say that you will fa vour us with a small piece of land somewhere in the village of Torksey for the above purpose. We should be glad to purchase it—to have it on a lease—or - in any way in which your Lordships may be disposed to grant our re quest. The number of members of the Wesleyan So ciety in the Gainsborough circuit is, at this time, up wards of 1,300, and out of this number there are twenty who reside in Torksey. Roping that your Lordship will be able to favour us in this instance, and also to oblige us by a reply before Tuesday the 29th instant, " We remain, my Lord, your Lordship's most humble and obedient servants, " HENRY RANSEN, Wesleyan Minister. " T. A. FARMER, Stewards of the So " THOMAS SPOUNCER, ciety of Wesley - at " JOHN WATKINSON, Methodists. " N.B.—There is a report in Circulation that your Lordship does not fully admit the principles of religious toleration, as now recognised by the lawi" of England, which, by granting the above favour, your Lordship would enable us most happily to resist and refute." REPLY. " Belgrave-square, July 1, 1841. " SlR—Your letter of the 25th ult. has only reached me by the post of this morning, or it would have' met with an earlier acknowledgment. In reply to your ap plication for land whereon to build a Wesleyan chapel at Torksey, I have to say, that, with every sentiment of good will and of perfect toleration towards the Wesleyan Methodists, I must decline compliance with your re quest, inasmuch as it is not consistent with my princi ples of attachment to the Established Church to con tribute to the propagation of Dissent from her discipline and worship. " I can take no notice of unbecoming rumours which have no foundation, neither can I enter into any com promise of religious principles with reference to the possible results of an election. . ".I beg leave to subscribe myself, Sir, " Your obedient settant, " BROWNLOW. " To the Rev. H. Ransen, Wesleyan Minister, Gainsborough." DINNER AT WORTHING TO LORD EDWARD HOWARD. On Wednesday evening a public dinner was given to Lord Edward Howard, the late Liberal candidate for the Rape of Bramber. About 150 of the most influen tial electors sat down in the principal room of the Sea house Hotel, which was tastefully decorated with laurels, and banners bearing appropriate inscriptions. Frederick Dixon, Esq., took the chair, and was supported on the right by Lord Edward Howard, and on the left by Lord Fitalan, M.P. for Arundel. Amongst the company pre sent were—The Earl of Surrey, Lord George Lennox, Lord Barnard Howard, Captain Pechell, RN., M.P. for Brighton • J. N.
