MORNING SUN. PILIT of the PU BLit; JOUfINALS. Faosi THE DAII,Y PAPERS OF YESTERDAY ~ .T- I RONICLE.—" Coming event; cast their shadows be te. s" Indications of the approach of Tory misrule are be einning to show themselves. The darirg interferences with e-ccdom of election which have taken p ace both in Ireland sod in Scotland—we especially refer to the conduct of the 'ssor at Dublin, and the introduction of the military by the .1 rquis of Lothian at Hawiek—are first fruits of the antici pated restoration, stimulated to their premature display by the hope of impunity. A more quietly concocted, and much more important movement, is however, it seems, in preparation. AU that is sordid and grasping in the Church begins to count upon its harvest time. As soon as the aspect and chances of the present political crisis were evident, a meeting of prelates was, according to the Times, held at Lambeth ; the Tuesday in Whiisun week being chosen for this very apostolic purpose , • • " at which it was resolved to p roceed im mediately to the erectioi of bishoprics in New Zealand, the British possessions in the Mediter ranean, New Brunswick, the Cape of Good Hope, Van Diemen's Land, and Ceylon; and after these sees shall have been provided for, to carry out the same good work in Sierra Leone, British Guiana, South Australia, Port Philip, Western Australia, and Northern and Southern India." The Times proffers i.s own assurance to the country that this mag nificent plan of Church Extension shall not be proceeded with lint* her Majesty's present Ministers be formally dispossessed of office, and their successors installed. Now, if thie were simply and honestly a project for extending the doctrines and worship of the Church of England, by means of resource= de rived from the zeal if its prelates and profeseors, why need it wait for the erection of a Tory Government? That soy difficulty or obstruction would he interposed, or any fair f. ci lity withheld, by the existing authorities, is too childish a thought for any Tory mind to entertain, though it ,may not be too base a falsehood for any Tory journal to circulate. That souls should perish because Whiffs are in place, can scarcely be the maxim of any pious and prose lvt ing bishop. The original contributors towards the scheme were probably very sire ere and single-minded ; in the form which it now assumes, their purposes are polluted, in order to manufacture the spiritual movement into a co-operation with the political change. The notion of endowing all these bi•hop ries out of funds contributed by private beneficence is perfectly absurd. Subscriptions for the permanent dignity and emolu ment of thirteen bishoprics ! Not three of the thirteen will be permanently provided for, before a call is made upon the public. For every subscription bishop, the people may rely upon not being saddled with fewer than four tax-paid bishops. The Times says it ha; " purposely waited " till the elections were chiefly over before publishing this plan ; and for once we believe the Times. The scheme was by no means of a cha racter to broach on the eve, or during the progress of a general election. But it does come with most admirable propriety to wards the slose of a struggle in which the constituencies have al._ lowed the rqaurn of a Tory majority. We give the manu facturing poftlation of Yorkshire, and the farmers throughout the country, joy of the privilege they have earned, of future levies upon themselves and their posterity for the support of thirteen new Bishoprics. The scheme is, moreover, quite in-- dependent of the not very cheap project of Church extension at home, which Sir Robert Inglis is waiting to bring forwird under " happier auspices." Nor is this all. The hitherto un disputed prerogative of the Crown in the appointment of Bi shops does not quite please those who are conspiring to degrade the Church into the strong-hold of a faction. The scheme extends, as expounded by the Tinies, to " a greater indepene deuce of action, and a more direct influence in the nomina tion of the new Bishops." The head of the Church must, it seems, be shorn of some of the authority of her predecessors, and put under a sort of Tory clerical regency. Her Majesty is not to be trusted with the nomination of func tionaries, whose proper selection may prove quite as im portant to the pease of our colonial dependencies as that of their governors. This is what some of the hired allies (for election pur l ores) of the Tories would call " coming - it strong." But there is no mistake. The extension of religious liberty to Dissenters and Catholics is as sumed by the Times to "hare, so far, tended to disqualify the Ministers of State for the offices of ecclesiastical advisers of the Crown." No less bold e_ change is contemplated than the withdrawment of this extensive ecclesiastical patronege from the constituted and responsible authorities to whom its exer cise belongs; and with whom its exercise most continue, if any security whatever is to be retained for the religious and civil libertiee of the ration. We are much mistaken in the character of her Majeity if the Tories will find it an easy mat ter to coerce her into this alienation of her legitimate power. The Church receives the price of its connection with the state ; ,a very handsome price it is altogether, in the amount of its teismoral emoluments, dignities, and privileges ; and the Chnrch ought to stand to its bargain. To deprive the Sove reign, acting through the agency of constitutional advisers, re cognised and responsible, of the right of episcopal appointments, would render any monarch the helpless tool of a factious hier archy. It would be the hardest blow that has been struck at the Throne since the days of the Long Parliament. TIMES.—In endeavouring to exaggerate the imaginary embareasments which are alleged to be inseparable from a Conservative Government, the Whig newspapers have often twitted us with that very unaccredited and apocryphal acknow lortgment ascribed to Sir Robert Peel—" My chief difficulty was Ireland." Now, even if that declaration were ever ut tered in the sense contended for by the Right Hon. Baronet's detractors (of which we have strong doubts), eve shall es•eem it a signal favour if they will have the goodness to inform us what party-purpose they can plausibly twist it to, at the present criti cal moment ? A proper estimate of possible obstacles, and a mo derate portion of self-distrust in the endeavour to cepe w ith them, are invariably the marks of wisdom. A shallow and inconsi derate Minister never finds a difficulty at all—because, with a paltry modicum of political genius, his imperturbable sell-complacency in dealing with the commonest questions in spires him with a confidence that the same power which can flourish a dandy's switch will qualify him to brandish a Her eules's club. Admit, then, that Sir Robert Peel, when inci dentally mentioning his inability to disarm an Irish cabal in the House of Commons against hie former Government, did say that his chief difficulty was Ireland—pray what is the response -Which Ireland herself now makes to those oft-perverted words Of that accomplished statesman? Here we have the city of the populous metropolis of the Emerald Isle, distinctly telling Sir Robert Peel, that far from offering him any unusual difficulties, she hails his advent to power with a shout of exultant enthusiasm. Here we have Bel fast—one of the great arteries of Protestant life in that country—transmitting its full tide of constitutional vi ealisy to sustain his Ministerial functions. Here we have Wa terford—anether large community in Ireland—giving the Rig-ht Hon. Baronet a similar tribute of support. The fact is, the Only difficulty lay with Mr. O'Connell, and his political influence is now fortunately at an end. To our certain know iedge it was with the utmost difficulty (difficulties will occa sionally change hands), that he could obtain candidates to contest the Irish seats. In Queen's County, net a decent gen tlemen could be found who would consent to tip,h• for him. Laird Kildare spurned his alliance in Dublin as the foul plague. The small breed of Beddingtons, Mnrphys, and Callaghans, whose purses can sustain a seat in Parliament no longer, were persuaded once more to face the hustings, only on condition that the earliest possible opportunity should be afforded them of vacating their 'seats in favour of such defeated outcasts as Leeds, or North Cheshire, or the West Riding might force into the Irish market. O'Connell's power, eve repeat, and Sir Robert Peel's difficulties, are alike at an end. " Strange alternation !" (may the learned fugitive now say) ; t' the Orange Premier's anticipated perplexities are sum marily handed over to myself. The chief difficulty with Ire land is no longer his, but mine. My strongholds are crumb ling beneath me on - every side. A reformed registration, whmh will give Peel the suffrage; of all Ireland, is now in evitable. A plausible Conservative policy will at once con ciliate the prejudices and raise the condition of my frieze coated deserters in the same proportion as it embitters my own. Aliserat;le old man that I am—my chief difficulty is Ireland !" Few things can be more gratifying to the friends of Constitu tional Government than to see, from the. Dublin returns, the general soundness of the Irish metropouitan population, in re gard to Protestant principles and British counexion. Popery and Repeal are clearly in the minority. ADVERTISER.—The Whigs, we repeat, owe their dis comfiture mainly to their own misconduct. If—warned by the example of the Duke of Wellington, who, if he had in 18 . 23 bestowed the suffrage on Birmingham, Leeds, and a few of the larger towns, and gradually extended it to others as urgency required, might have remained in office till this day —they had pro :used their recent measures at at an earlier period, when their offers would have had the graceful ap pearance of concession instead of the ungainly aspect of extortion, they would at this moment have been secure in their places, with the certainty of retaining the lasting con trol of the country. But though men, it is said, are some times taught by experience, parties, it should seem, never are . It is vain to attribute their defeat to' the supineness of the people alone. The people, inconstant as they are said to Ise, never forsake a popular government until it first f org ets its principles and forsakes itself. A few i n t eres t e d fanatics and ctisappointed enthusiasts turn round upon every administration the moment it is installed in place ; but the great majority of mankind are true to their tenets, and cannot lie expected to renounce them when there seems no difference between Tories in ,office and Whigs in place. Some may be 'disposed to consider as suicidal the late conduct of the people a majority of representatives avowedly in returningopposed to their dearest interests, and may feel inclined to say, if the people will be starved, let them be starv e d," as the R e v. Rowland Hill , w hen a few fanatics in his flock protested against his doctrine that Heaven was n ciful shd Hell not e t e rnal, " If my e ea r e r r ; es ill lie d--01 to all eternity, may they to all eternity be d—d." voice w votes T h r t f or ere n r do t h er s t. but we take a wider and m ore charitable view of,:the inhabitants of these r ealms had no elections, and three-fourths of those possessinY them. The prived of freedom conscientiously to era firmer are involuntarily doomed to submit t P ;all the horrors of famine, because, though subjected to all the burdens of the ;State, they have no influence in the Legislature ;and the le ter are rendered instrumental in perpetuating the starvation ties because they are forbidden, by ii system'of coercion, to - • it off, or because the same end is attained by corruptio, , e sse-ste „ AA A those temptations, aa alluring to the unreflecting, who me s s° disposed to forget the past and forego the future, for the enjoyment of the present hour. An extension of the suf erase° is the only means that will eradicate these calamities, ;Lad the introduction of the ballot seems the sole mode by which they cars be alleviated. If Ministers are sincere in their re cent propositions—if their measures are designed really to ameliorate the condition of the country, and net merely to sustain themselves in place—let them introduce the one at no distant period, and the other without an instant's delay ; other wise, they will only delude the nation wish hopes that can never be realised, and accelerate, instead of ave. ling, the ay proach of that ruin which threatens to engulph in its vortex both themselves and their country. DERALD.—O'Connell appear; never to be able to main tain anything like self-possession when he cannot persuade the go ld fish to come bodily into his net, that he may scale them at pleasure while entangled in its meshes', as he did with poor :Mr. Raphael in the troubled waters of Carlow ! If we contrast she past obsequiousness of O'Connell,—his fawning, flattering. solicitations of all classes of the Irish people, whilst he was yet far indeed from the state and dignity of one of the 't high con tracting parties" to the Lichfield House compact--we shall hardly know hear to believe the identity of the supremo agita tor of 1841 with the political barrister of 1800. Yet only the Isame lan- of progression, and nothing more, has advanced the Tone and pretensions, and changed the deportment of the man which impels the course of every organiser and leader of a faction.' The " bated breath and whispering humbleness" with which O'Connell formerly wooed the masses whom he now wields, have given place to an assumption of insolent .authority and dictatorial impatience. The brawling declaimer -whose theme of earlier years was ever " the rights of the people" in their utmost extent, now makes no affectation of concealing his high resentment and unappeasable indignation at their presumption who shall dare to judge for themselves on the relative merits of any two candidates, or to exercise, unfet tered,that franchise in thespontaneous, unimpeded use of which election, ex vi termini, really consists. So much for the honesty and ecrasistency of Whig-Radical Liberalsm l—and yet, we have not done with it. On Monday last, at Alnwick, Lord Howick supplied a striking commentary on its principles and its opera tion.,, The waspi s h Vi scoun t wou ld h ave d one we ll t o h ave en oretivottred to catch a little of true kindlier and more masculine Spirit of Lord Mor s " Adieu to th e Ridißg." That Noble ILdrd a pa d rt eg e r d ee tro o m f lethisformer with constituents, it Inust be allowed, feeling, abou n di ng can d our , an d nue& femed friendliness ood even for his opp o n ents , which did hi m th e highest honour, andleave could no f a o s r s o h c . a s t i p o e n r s o b n e a h l i n c d h h a r i a m e t b e lLt such as would enseee their r es p ect Lord Howick began by expressing" mortificati on " a t hi s elefeat, and far from telling the leeistis rs of Northumberland, as Lord Mor r ;eth told the inea of Yorkshirc, that, though they had thought proper to reject him it was only after a spirited and well-sustained conflict—in the exercise of their undoubted right ;—the heir of the name and house of Grey vented his anger and his " mortification" on his noble competitor, Lord Ossulston. That noble person's success was a a offence, in Lord Howick's eyes, Which the disaster of his own defeat could not teach him the wisdom of treating with moderation. The whole tenor of his speech clearly indicated that he had antici paled that North Northumberland was to be a pocket borough to one who bore his title, and that it was bound to act as such. There is something ludicrous in this champion, and son of a much more eminent champion. of the imprescriptible right of Englishmen to elect freely those who are to represent them in Par liament—thus fulminating his denunciations against a rival who had been guilty not merely of the lese.majeste of opposing him, but of " suddenly opposing" him ! GLOBE.—The Chronicle, in adding some farther quo tations from agricultural writers to those which we made yesterday from Arthur Young, observes, "We are not aware that any one agricultural writer of eminence has ever advocated the Corn-laws." They are forced upon the farmers by needy and grasping landowners, and are defended by men who in general know nothing of agri culture." The Tories protect agriculture by Corn laws, as they protected religion by Test Acts, and Boman Catholic disabilities. In the former, as in the present instance, they proceeded against all the autho rities which carried any weight with them—even those of their own party. There is not a single name of those (excepting Lord Eldon) whom the Tories affect to claim and commemorate as the past champions of their principles—there is not one ac knowledged really great Conservative name, from Burke to Canning, which affords authority for religious ex clusion any more than commercial restriction. Yet intolerance was the bond of union which kept the Tory party together. Monopoly is the bond of union which holds it together now. What shall we say . of a party, which can only name its great men, without quoting them ; and, if it quoted them, would only prove that, in naming, it takes their names in vain ! And what shall we say of reasoners on corn legisla tion, who are capable of making a continual bugbear (as Sir R. Peel, Lord Stanley, and all their organs have been doing ad nauseam) of a single passage in the speech of Lord Charles Russell, in which that scion of the house of Bedford expressed apprehensions lest repeal of the Corn-laws should throw two millions of acres out of corn cultivation. Why, take Lord Charles's bull by the horns. For the sake of argument—suppose it should. Suppose a repeal of the Corn-laws should throw two mil lions of acres out of corn culture ! Is that a considera tion so momentous as to outweigh all others ? Is the retention in arable of the two million acres most unfit for that purpose in England, compensation in full for compromising the fate of our greatest masses of work people, and our most important branches of external trade ? COURIER—The present election has taught the Conservatives the most valuable lesson ever yet read to a great party—to know its own strength— and under the guidance of that lesson will their future movements be directed. We are fully aware of what the journals in the confidence of Ministers would fain insinuate, but what is too gross for them openly to assert ; we know what they are driving at in their dark inuendoes with re gard to the probability of another dissolution early,next year; but we also know that there exists not the shadow of a shade of foundation for anticipating such a con tingency. Sir Robert Peel's majority in the, : new Parliament will be too powerful, too irresistible, to . re quire that he should adopt any mode of strengthening himself beyond what will accrue to him from the gradual development of his policy: and so fatal has been the issue of the experiment of a dissolution to the Whig party, that even had they the means or the opportu nity to try their chances a second time, they would shrink from it with that instinctive dread with which a " burned child" regards the fire. Another disso lution would altogether annihilate them ; the allu sions to it as a means of recruiting their shattered forces, in which the Whig journals have been lately indulging, were intended only to alleviate' their sense of defeat or soothe their wounded pride. The coun try has proved itself to be too essentially Conserva tive in spirit, that a second appeal should be required, and it was too powerfully impressed with the sense of the danger inseparable from Whig rule, to relapse a g ain into its former inactive state. Had the Whigs not sho wn themselves so openly and undisguisedly in the true co lour of destructives—had their desperation not driven them to assail with such virulent hostility the greatest interests of the empire, their case would not altogether have been so utterly hopeless as it is ; but detected, con victed. and punished as they have been, they are doomed for life to the cold and cheerless regions of a feeble and fruitless opposition. Their fall has been too great to admit of any hopes of their re-ascent. A loss of over forty members cannot speedily or easily be replaced, a loss not confined to English counties or even English bo roughs, but spread over Ireland and Scotland. STANDARD.—We have to-day to announce the ra tification of the dismissal of Mr. Handley from South Lincoln, and Mr. Wilbrham from South Cheshire, with the almost certainty of three more Conservative gains in Ireland—namely, two in the metropolitan county, and one in the adjacent county of Wicklow. The whole Conservative gain in Ireland will probably amount to at least ten votes; it already amounts to six—viz., Dublin City, two; Waterford City, two, Queen's County, one ; Athlone borough, one—to these, as we have said, Dublin County, two ; and Wicklow oite,i may be added with almost certainty, making nine gained. Long ford County will most probably afford the tenth, while it is scarcely possible but that some must be gained in the other contests approaching or in progress, in Clare, Cork, Louth, Tipperary, Wexford, while it is evi dent that nothing can be lost, as the five counties have been hitherto represented by Whig-Radicals. One Con servative seat has been lost pro tem. at Kinsale, and one is threatened in each of the counties of Carlow and Kerry, but we think not seriously. In Carlow, indeed, a gain may be expected ; but, admitting against appearances the possibility of the loss of' these two seats, the balance of Conservative gain on the whole of the Irish elections will hardly be less than ten seats—a respectable addition to the British ma jority, but infinitely more valuable as proof of the Con servative re-action in that part of the United Kingdom where it has been thought least energetical, and where it questionless has had the greatest difficulties. The Sovereign, the people, and they who may be called to her Majesty's Councils, must learn from the re sult of the Irish elections that there really is such a class as the Conservative Protestants of Ireland possessed of power to claim respect and considera tion—that they are not the "miserable minority" they have been described, but the possessors of what ever legitimate influence exists - in the island. They have beaten the Queen's Ministers, they have beaten th - e Romanist priesthood and the Radical agitators. They who have done this can be no longer treated with the contempt which has been too much their portion. Two' of the greatest victories gained through the whole of this glorious struggle are undoubtedly those won in the cities of Dublin and Waterford— and, as units in the Conserva tive democracy, we cannot but rejoice that they have been won by the people alone, without aid of any kind from the higher class of Conservatives. Dublin sends to Parliament two professional gentlemen, undistinguished in any way except by their talents, their honourable private character, and their fidelity to Protestant prin ciples ; and the case of Waterford is, if possible, still more striking. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—The state of the Share Market is still very heavy, and some of the quotations are lower than yester day. Since the last Account day there has been a difference of full 51. per share between the extreme prices of the Brighton Shares ; in Great Western Shares there has oc curred a difference of nearly double that amount ; and in the Blackwall and one or two other railways, considerable changes have taken place. The settlement of the Account in Foreign Stocks, which) takes place to-morrow, is likely to turn out a heavier one than has occurred for some time past, not so much from the amount of business transacted since the last Account day, as from the great depression that most of these securities particu larly the Spanish, Portuguese, and the South American, have sustained in all of these the differences which the holders for time will have to pay will be very large. TlMES.—Since the report of the " Union Bank" has ap peared in print, may of the shareholders do not appear to be as much satisfied with it as they were when it was read at the meeting, and when they had less opportunity to consider the particulars. An item of 16,5001., set down for " pteliminary expenses" h as cause d muc h surm i se as to w h a t t h ose expenses can have been. The bank premises being already charged for, there is a difficulty in understanding what " preliminary ex pense " can have been ircurred beyond the costs of a deed of settlement, which, of course, could form no material por tion of a sum like this mo most 1 Besides, if the word " assets " means property vert . ible into money, this item would seem to b e • imprope r ly pl a ced under that head, as, from th e report, it is utterly impossible to conjecture in what tangibl e form or how it could the 16,500/, i s a t p re sent represented, be realised.As far as can be judged from the inf ormation conveyed, the only proer place annuity of 500/. under the " liabilities," as an Per liennii. for ; thirty-three years, as inches d the 5001. f or t s tatement of the appropriation sent year does appear in the mor eover of opinion th at i t woulde the s u r pl u s. Some are, b taking of magnitude to reduce this sum expedient in an under• than by the creation of this inconsiderablesamby a speedier process capitalof annuity. It is also observed that the paid-upthe bank is (in round numbers) 423,0001., and the surplus profit about 25,0001., which is about 6 per cent. ; so that as the same idle employment ofno the rz o than 2 per b re of capital will produce a t least 4 per cent, cent. can be fairly set down as the profits busi ness. With respect to the item o f 15,0001 . for banking assets, is still re marked, that although in a young undertaking, lr e eleitissf it fair to class the estimated value of buildin g s among t that should be done with a view to ultimate redemption, that a provision shou ld be made for that end, so that in, and the course of a short time none but legitimate banking assets should be classed under that head, and all such items, as " pre mises," and the like , sho uld be removed. It is q uite possible that there may be nothing in all this to operate as a serious discotiragement to the shareholders ; but it seems too early, at all events, to make a decided boast of being in a very flourish.. ing condition. POST.—It was account day in shares, and from the great fluctuations which have taken place of late in such property, it was also a day of the severest trial . to many of the time specula tors. Continuation upon continuation, and that at an extrava gant rate, has for weeks past been given by the Bulls, until at length in the impoverished condition of the fraternity, they could pay no longer, and two or three of the number have been " declared ;" nor can there be a doubt that it is to the inability of such parties to hold on any longer the decline in the money quotations is to be attributed. It is a fact which bona fide dealers cannot bear two much in mind, that a fictitious value is given to all Stock Exchange investments by the transactions reported as " for the account." HERALD.—The Railway speculations have principally borne upon Great Western and Brighton, and especially the latter, which has been one of the " fancy" articles of the stock-house, as the favourite season quarters of the members of which Brighton has been renowned for many years past. It would appear to be singular that the shares of the two railway s cited should begin to dcline in price almost the moment after the official announcement of the entire opening to traffic of one line, the Great Western, and the completion of the other to within nine miles of Brighton, its termination. It is not diffi cult, however, to account for the cause by the ordinary rules of speculation, and Stock Exchange dealing. For in proportion as the lines approaches their conclusion, those connected THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 16 18112_ with thorn as sbaieholders, and parties otherwise with facilities and on the alert for information, aware of the fact, and as-: sured that shares in the usual course must improve ia price as the railways neared the time for being finally opened for traffic and a chance of profitable returns, began to purchase largely at the high rates of discount to which they had fallen, or the low- premiums at which they stood. Thus it was seen that for some time previous to the complete or partial opening of the two railways the, shares continued to advance arid speculators to push their operations. Great Wes terns reached 25 premium, Brightens from 8 or 9 rote to about 3 discount. The whole effect contemplated for the open ing was therefore anticipated when the day arrived, coupled with which it may be noted that the public evinced little of the disposition calculated upon to rush into the market with divi dends just received from the Bank in hand, and relieve the overloaded jobbers from their shares at any higher quotations that might be asked, or even at the rates then ruling. This being the case, as pay, that is settling, day was approaching, and could not be staved off, such of the speculators as found themselves with more shares, or liable to take more shares on that day, than cash to pay with, found themselves under the necessity of bringing a portion to, or even of throwing the whole upon an inaction. Prices of course began to decline more rapidly than they had before risen, and so have continued to this the reckoning day, when the black board " has come into requisitisn as before obset vcd. On the Ist of this month a wholesome law, passed during the late Session of the Pennsylvania Legislature, comes into operation. " ancially it may not be of much promise, but morally it will operate as a salutary check upon that illegiti mate species of speculation known as " time bargains," which here have gained to an extent so rrejudieial. By this law every person or co-partnership desirous of exercising the business of a broker, is subjected to the payment of an annul tax of 100 dollars, for which a commission or certificate is issued yearly. Brokerage business is classified under three heads, namely, stock brokers, exchange brokers, and bill brokers, for each of which a separate certificate is necessary, with a payment on each of 100 dollars, and any person or firm desirous of engaging in all the three must pay the same tax of 100 dollars on each. The penalty for doing business without a certificate is to be 500 dollars. And time sales of any securi ties for a larger term than five days are prohibited under a penalty of not less than l')0, or more than 1,000 dollars. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 14. (Before ➢lr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) MESSRS. WHITMORE, WELLS, AND WHITMORE'S (BANKERS) BANRUPTCY. This was the day named to take the choice of Assignees against the estate of these bankrupts, who carried on business as bankers in Lombard-street, and who,e stopp:ge was made public some few days since. The number of creditors in attendance was very numerous, but notwithstanding the extreme pressure, ample accommoda tion was afforded for the press. A great number of proofs were admitted to-day without pre judice and without reference to questions that may arise re specting overdue checks. The debts and liabilities of the bankrupts were estimated at 420,0001., but no idea of the assets can yet be given. There was no opposition to the choice of assignees, which was made as follows: —Henry Lee, of No. 32, Finsbury-squire, in the county of 111iddksex, builder; William Dimsdale Child, of No. 8, Finsbury-place, South, in the same county, mer chant; and James Alexander Simpson, of No. 11, Austin fri Irs, in the city of London, solicitor to the estate and effects of Edward Whitmore, John Wells, John Wells the younger, and Frederick Whitmore. - .....

This was an action brought to recover the sum of 41. 13s. for medicines supplied to the defendant. The plaintiff was Mrs. Catherine Bachelor, who carried on business as a chemist and druggist, in the Broadway, Hammersmith. and defendant an upper servant to a lady named Page, residing in Brook-green, in the same neighbourhood. It appeared in the evidence that the plaintiff's brother was a medical -student, and used to pre scribe for the defendant, but received no fee. The prescrip tions were compounded by an assistant in the plaintiff's shop, and amounted to the sum now clamed. For the defence it was contended that the defendant employed Mrs. Bachelor as a surgeon and apothecary, and that it was on his account alone the medicines were supplied, and under a certain section of the Apothecaries' Act, any person who was not in practice before the year 1315, or who did not possess a certificate from the Apothecaries' Hall, was debarred from the recovery of medi cines supplied, and that the action was brought in the name of Catherine Bachelor to evade this section of the Act. Mr. HORN, for the plaintiff, said that if she acted as an apothecary the defence set up might be good, but Mr. Batche lor, although so nearly related to her, had no interest or con nection v,hatever with the business, and his prescriptions for the, defendant were compounded in the plantiff's shop in the same manner as might be done in the shop of any other druggist ; and, therefore, there could be no fraud or collusion in terms under which the present action was brought. Verdict fOr the plaintiff, 41. 135., costs, 40s. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN CIRCUIT.---Winchester, July 14. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE. ) Thomas Tarlett, aged 28, was convicted of having felo• niously cut and wounded. Jesse Goedyer, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. The case, as it appeared upon the evidence, exhibited a sample of great brutality. The prisoner and the prosecutor, who were not acquainted with each other, being both in the tap-room of a public-house, the prisoner, without any previous provocation, threw his hat into the prosecutor'‘ face, and thereby knocked him off the chair up o n which he was sitting. The consequence of this and of some additional provocation was, that the parties had some three or four rounds at boxing in the room. Upon their quitting the house afterwards, the prosecutor said to the glisoner, " Good night, my friend, I hope there's no malice, and that all's right." To which the prisoner answered, " No, it's not all right, and I'll soon show you it's not ;" upon which he rushed upon the prosecutor and knocked him down, after which he stabbed him five times with a knife. Mr. Baron ROLFE sentenced the prisoner to 18 months' im prisonment and hard labour, desiring it to be publicly com municated, that wherever a knife should be wed in a quarrel, the punishment inflicted by the Court would always be more severe upon that account. NISI PAIL'S COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAut.E.) was alto seinWemiolio:aiivc , eri,l,.‘tre rains.t hi • hay ing heeii seen near the spot, as well as identitica:ion by the prosecutor.

The Lenened Judges, the Right lion. Baron Parke, and Mr. Baron Gurßey,L arrived here last evening, and opened the .commission. Having attended divine service at ten this morn ing, they took their seats in the County Hall at twelve o'clock, Mr. Baron Parke presiding in the Crown Court, and . Mr. Baron Gurney on the Civil Siee. . . There were but seven causes entered for trial, two being for seduction, one cf which is a special jury case. In the county calendar, with the exception of 24 persons committed to take their trial for a riot at a place called Stoke Plain. in this county, an 1 which is stated to have arisen out of opposition to the erecting of some fences under an enclosure act, there appear the names of ten persons only. CIVIL SIDE. (Before Mr. Baron GURNEY. ) WILLIAM RODDIS V. JOHN FAIILCLOTH. This was an action on the case for the seduction by the de fendant of' the plaintiff's daughter. Mr. Humfrey, Mr. Waddington, and Mr. Miller, conducted the plaintiff's case. Mr. Hill, Queen's Counsel, and Mr. White appeared for the defendant. Mr. HUMFREY opened the case to the Jury in an eloquent and very impassioned address, commenting with stern severity upon what he termed the horrid, atrocious, and disgusting cim duct of the defendant towards the unfortunate subject of this inquiry. The plaintiff is a butcher in a respectable and exten sive business in this town, having a family of eight sons and three daughters, of whom the eldest had been the sufferer in this ca'e from the wicked conduct of the defendant. Mr. Fair cloth is a surgeon in this town, movin g in good society, and enjoying a lucrative practice. 'The defendant had not only in jured the plaintiff by robbing his daughter of that virtue and innocence which was pure, spotless, and unimpugned until the time of the injury complained of, but had circulated amongst his relatives, friends, and neighbours, anonymous libels of a most odious and filthy nature, reflecting upon the character and conduct of that daughter. The Learned Counsel then pro ceeded to detail to the Jury the leading features in the case, which he was instructed that in his duty he should have to lay before them, and concluded by observing, that the ill•earned gains of the defendant enabled him to pay to the plaintiff such amount of damages as they should award by way of compensa tion for this atrocious injury, and calling upon the Jury, in estimating them, to keepin view the anonymous letters circu lated by the defendant, imputing incontinence to the young woman in language so horrible and revolting that women would shudder, and men turn away with disgust at the recital, and which letters could not be read aloud, but must be handed up to the Court and Jury for perusal. He then called Charlotte Roddis, who deposed,—l am the eldest daughter of Mr. William Roddis, a butcher in this town. He has ten other children—two daughters and eight sons. I have lived in nay father's house up to the present time, and been employed in managing the household and family affairs. I am twenty seven years old ; have known Mr. Faircloth ten or eleven years. He is a surgeon in this town. When I first knew him he was attending the infirmary as a medical student ; that was in the year 1829. I then used occasionally to walk with him in com pany with others. He left Northampton in September, 1834. He then said he was going to Guy's to walk the hospital. He was away about two years. When lie came back I renewed my acquaintance with him, and used to walk with him. In February, 1837, had some difference with Mr. Faircloth ; we had words. I told him I must drop the acquaintance, but did not give him any reason. I did then break it off. In Novem ber, 1838, I received a letter from him, inviting me to see him alone, and say that he would wait at a place mentioned therein until half-past seven. [The letter was put in. j I did meet him. I had some conversation with him as to why I brdke off the acquaintance. I told him not to refer to that, as I did not desire to renew the acquaintance ; that things were much bet ter as they were, as my mother had said I must leave the house or drop the acquaintance. He said my mother need not know about it. I could see him once a fortnight, and in two years he didn't care who knew it. We then used to meet. He used to knock against the shutter, and then wait in the neighbourhood of my father's house till came out. This went on till November, 1839, when he came up and spoke to me in the presence of a Miss Holmes. She went with us, and was pi esent at the meeting. Defendant had, before this, many times asked me to go to his house, but I had not been. On the 12th of December I met him at a place called Waterloo, and on that occasion he induced me to go into the house with him. He let us in with a latch-key. We went into the parlour, and he then prevailed upon me to accede to his wishes. That was the first time. I did not see him after that for a month, when he again knocked at the shutter of my father's house. On the sth of July, 1840, he remarked to me that I did not look well. This was when we were walking. I went to his house .that day, on the subject of my illness. When he told me I looked ill, I said I felt ;11 and described the sensation. He gave me a box of pills and a bottle of drops, and this paper marked "10 d., 2 p." (10 drops, 2 pills.) He said, I was to take two of the pills and ten of the drops at bed time. I objected to take it. and said I thought it would not be right. He said it would be quite right, as I had only taken a cold. I saw him again on the 19th. He asked me if I had taken the medicine, and I told him "No." He said, it I would not take it, he'd stand no chance with me. If 1 wouldn't take it. I could't expect to get well. He was very angry, and so I said I would take it. He made an appointment to meet me three days after. He then asked me again if I had taken it, and I told him I could not, the smell of the pills made me sick. I told him I had made up my mind not to take it, and I wouldn't take it. He then said I must give it him back. I met him again three days after, on the 25th, at his house. He asked me if anybody had seen the medicine. I told him " No;" and he made me promise never to mention it, and to give it back the next. day, when he appointed to meet me. He did not keep his appointment. I never met him by appointment after this. On the 361 of August I sent a letter by my father's servant, to which I had no answer. About a week after I sent another by post, and the servant subsequently took another, to neither of which did I receive an answer. I went to his house shortly after, I think on the 17th of August, and saw him, when I told him I had brought the medicine, and gave it back to him. I then asked him if he had heard of some anonymous letters which had been sent to my friends, and he said, "To be sure I have." I said, " Well, you don't believe anythin.." He said, " I don't know ; lam not always with you." I called upon him again on the 11th of October. Ile asked MC what brought me out so early, and led me to the sofa. I spoke to him about the situation 1 was in, and he said that he had made up his mind to swear that he knew nothing about it. 1 said, " You can't say so, for you know I have known nobody else ; " and he said he should not have said so had it not been for the anonymous letters. (The ano nymous letters were here handed up to the witness, who stated that she believed them to be in the handwriting of the defen dant, though disguised.) He afterwards called at my fatl.er's and produtad a bill of 10s. 6d. for attendance upon me, aed said, " I want you to give this to your father." I said, " I wouldn't do it for the.world." He told me twice he did not wish it-paid ;it was marked " settled," and he only wished me to present it to my father. I said, "As there is no other way settling it, I will pay it myself," and I took out my purse and paid it, and he took it. I was brought to bed on the 13th of March last. and have never seen the defendant since. Ipaid him the 10s. 6d. He is the father of the child. Examined by Mr. HILL—My first meeting with the fendant after his return in October was between six and seven in the evening. Miss Penn has walked with me a great many, times—can't say how many ; it Rat not always at night ; she has been with me when it was summer by daylight. The second acquaintance began in 1836 ; I saw nobody besides the defendant at his house until 1 called in September, 1840, to ask to see him.. I did not feel certain.of the situation I was in until that September. Mary Holmes—Was acquainted with Miss Roddis. In the year 1839 was at her house. Heard the noise at the shutter Shortly after the noise she went out, and I with her, at her request. She then met the defendant. They shook hands. They then left one. Miss Rodtlis joined me half an hour after wards. It was between five and six in tie evening. Mr. Faircloth—Saw them in the early part of 1841) walking together in the Houghton-road, a village just out of Northamp ton, between four and five o'clock. I only saw them once. Elizabeth Lake, widow, received an anonymous letter with postmark of July 30th, and gave it to Miss Roddis's brother. About a week since defendant called upon me. He asked me if I had had a letter. I said, " Yes; I haven't got it ; I gave it to the Roddises." The letter from the defendant to the plaintiff's daughter in November, 1838, in which a renewal of the acquaintance was solicited, was undisputed and read accordingly ; also, a let ter from the plaintiff to the defendant in October, 1840, re quiring something to be done by way of atonement; and the defendant's reply, in which he stated that he had not seen the yourg woman for two year', except professionally, de nied the whOl.e charge, and referred the plaintiff to his solicitor, if he should desire any further communication. Miss Penn—Was well acquainted with Miss Roddis, about five years smce ; frequently saw Miss Roddis and the defen dant walking together,' about five years ago. Martha Baker—Was servant to Mr. Roddis in August last. Took a letter in August from Miss Roddis to the defendant at _ . his house, and gave it to the servant. Shortly afterwards put another into the post, and left a third at the house some time af:erwsrds.—(These letters were called fur upon notice, and not produced.) James Whitney—l know the defendant, Mr. Faircloth ;he rents a house of mine; the rent is filty guineas. It is very well furnished. This closed the plaintiff's case. Mr. HILL addressed the Jury for the defendant, when Mr. Baron GUILNEIi summed up the evidence, observing that there was no proof of the authorship of the anonymous letters beyond the belief of the young lady herself, who stated the handwriting to be disguised, and The Jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a ver dict for the Vaintiff.—Damages, 801. OXFORD ClRCUl7'.—Oxford, July 13. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) William Eden, aged 19, was indicted for maliciously shoot. ing at Hannah Rachel Reeves, alias Emma Bennett, with ir. tent to murder her. The prisoner was a printer's apprentice residing with his parents in the city of Oxford, and the prosecutrix, who at the time of the transaction passed by the name of Emma Bennett, who was of almost the same age as the prisoner, and was one of that unfortunate class of frmales who infest the suburbs of all large towns. It appeared that on the 20th of April last the prisoner, accompanied by another young man, called, be tween 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon, at the residence of the prosecutrix in. Jericho, a disreputable locality, in the parish of St. Thomas, in this city. He was at that time a good deal intoxicated, and after some romping between them, a very trifling pi ovoeation on the part of the girl induced the prisoner to give here,a blow on the eye, whioh knocked her down. A girl named I%Li y Ann Bryant, who lived in the house, and passed for the sister of the prosecntrix, hearing the altercation, came into the room where the prosecutrix and the prisoner were, and a scuffle ensued between Bryant and the prisoner, which terminated in his gettirg a broken head. The pri soner then left the house, and sent the hostler at the Prince. Albert public-house to buy him some powder and flints, and he was seen about half-past six by two persons in the taproom of the Prince Albert, ramming some paper into a pistol, but no witness was called who could speak to his having charged the pistpl either with powder or ball. While, however, he was ramming the paper into the pistol, he was heard by one of the persons in the tap-room to say, " I am d—d if I do not go and shoot that woman." From the Prince Albert the pri soner went. to Jericho, where he again called at the house of the prosecutrix at eight o'clock, and where he was so far from carrying the intention which he had expressed into immediate effect,: that he sat down, sent for some beer, had his wound ,washed, antl.,was apparently on very friendly terms with his late,,a,ritagonists. At ten o'clock he went away with Bryant toward this home, but shortly afterwards Bryant returned, and the o prosecutrix by her desire denied her to him when the prisoner 'knocked at the door. The prosecutrix was at this tithe at the first floor, window with a candle in her liarid; arid 'on his demanding that she should open the door, and her refusal, he said, " If you do not open the door I will shoot you, and immediately presented a pistol arid fired. The next day a hole, which appeared freshly made, was found at the top of the window-shutter of the parlour, just below the place where the prosecutrix stood, and a bullet was discovered, together with some splinters, on the Aviaow-sill, between the window-frame and the window affiffer: 'The bullet, however, was nearly as new as when it cams from the mould, and the evidence which bore on that part of the caw left it very doubtful whether it was pos- Bible fei: a ballet tO pass between the window-frathe the slAuter. Time - pistol was not produced, as the iNZ!rsou who tool; it from the prisoner on the night of the trans' lion was foolish enough to return it to him ; and the Dogbet.ty, who searched the prisoner's pockets and found seven or 'tijgbt bullet's there, did not recollect that it m'ght be essential to the ends of justice that they should be kept in safe custody until the prisoner took his trial, and therefore let them remain where he found them. There were, therefore, no mans of ascertain ing W Lether the bullet produced fitted the barrel of the pistol disebarged by the prisoner, or whether it corresponded in size with ththe found in his pockets. It should be added that al! the parties were more or less intoxicated at the time, and the prisoner so much so that he was hardly able to walk properly. Mr. F. V. LEE, for the defence, suggssted that there was no evidence at all that the pistol was loaded; and, assuming that it was, still there was nothing to show any malice on the part of the prisoner, who merely intended to frighten the girl. Witnesses were then called, who gave the prisoner a good character for humanity. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE summed up, and the Jury acquitted the prisoner. The business of the Assizes terminated at three o'clock. . HOME ClRCl7l7:—Hertford, July 15. CROWN COURT. Mr. Sergeant TADDY, in consequence of the indisposition of Mr. Justice BOSANQUET, took his neat on the bench in thi; Court. The Grand Jury having been sworn, and Lord Grimston king appointed foreman, the Learned Sergt ant briefly ad dressed them, and said, that there was only one case on the calendar that would require any observations from him. That ease was a charge of rape, and in reference to that charge it would be as well to state that during the last session of Parlia ment the punishment for that offence had been most materially altered after very grave deliberation, and the capital punish ment would be abolished after next October. The Learned Sergeant then proceeded to allude to the circumstances of the alleged offence, and said that it was a charge which at all times required the most grave and attentive consideration. CIVIL SIDE. The following was the only case of interest tried this day : COURTNALL THE YOUNGER V. COVENEY. SEDUCTION.—This was an action► to recover compensation or damages for the loss of the services of the plaintiff's sister. in consequence of her seduction by the defendant. Mr. 'I hesiger and Mr. Ogle were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Platt and Mr. Peacock for the defendant. Mr. THESIGER addressed the Jury, and said that the pre sent action was brought by the plaintiff, who was the brother of the unfortunate subject of the inquiry, in the form of a master claiming, compensation for the loss of the services of his servant, his sister acting, at the time the transaction took place, in that capacity, and being under his charge. That was the only term in which the action could be brought before the Jury. The Learned Counsel then went on to state that the defendant was a young man, the son of a wealthy farmer, residing near Sittingbourne, in Kent, and who, having been apprenticed to the plaintiff, who carried on the business of a linen-draper at Hadley, and who was assisted by his sister in his business, took that opportunity of gaining her : ffections and effecting her ruin. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to detail the circumstances, as they afterwards appeared in evidence, and he concluded by calling upon the Jury to give exemplary damags to mark their sense of the offence which the defendant hatt committed, and as some recompense for the outraged feelings of her friends. The Learned Counsel called the following witnesses : Hannah Courtnall deposed that she was twenty-one years of age ; her father resided at Barnet. In the year 1836 she went to assist her brother, who carried on the business of a linendraper at Hadley, and she was engaged to serve in the shop, and hoarded with the family of her brother. She re membered the defendant Daniel Coveney coming to her bro ther's, which was about a year and a half after she first went, and he subsequently became her brother's apprentice. He paid her attentions which witness returned, and she considered their attachment mutual, anti after their intimacy had continued a short time he made her an offer of marriage. In June, 1638. witness went to see a relation in London, and she informed her of the offer the defendant had made, and he was in conse quence invited there to dinner, and they walked out together with the consent of her relation. While she was in London she received letters from the defendant, but she had destroyed the whole of them. During their intercourse she ascertained that the defendant was holding some intercourse with a young lady named Bird, and she spoke to him about it, and he said he would break off that connexion an her account. In 1839 their mutual attachment appeared still to continue, and in the course of that year she yielded to his wishes. Their intercourse continued after this until the month of June, when she went to London to spend some time, and durine the whole of the period she was there, although the defendant used to write to her constantly before, she never received a single letter from him. Soon after this time she was about to accompany her father to Beccles, in Suffolk, and she asked the defendant whether he intended to write to her, and he said if she did not hear from him by the following Wednesday she might consider the acquaintance broken off. He said, however, that he would certainly write, but she did not receive any letter. \Bl.ile at Beccles a tradesman named Boreham paid her attentions, and offered her marriage, and her father consented that it should take place. Soon. after her return from Beccles she saw the defendant, anti he asked whether it was tree tha' she was going to be married to Mr. Boreham, and she said it was, and that it was on account of his not writing to her. The next day she received a letter from Mr. Boreham, and she showed it to the defendant, and he did not appear very well pleased at it ; and the next day he said, in the presence of a relative, that he was still the same, and that no one else should marry her, and he wished her to break off with Mr. Boreham, and he said if she did that he would break off with Miss Bird. In the month of September the defendant wrote to her a letter, in which he again requested that she should break off with Mr. 13oreham,and declaring that he, and no one else, should have her, and she, in consequence, declined to have any further conversation with him, 1 Witness 3 was confined with a little girl, on the 4th of .March last. When she first ascertained that she was in the family way she informed the defendant of it, and he said he was glad of it, for she must have him as that was the case, Cross-examined—She went to her sister's in London in June, and remained there about a month, and she was in the habit of going out every day, and her sister was commonly her companion; but she frequently went by herself. She did not always walk the same way. She had crossed the different bridges while she was in London for the purpose of visiting some friends of her brother. She only meant to take a walk, and occasionally she went out over one bridge and returned by another. Mr. Boreham was not in town during any part of this time. She was not invited to Beceles by Mr. Boreham. but she accompanied her father there, and they lodged in that place at the house of a person named Smith. Mr. Boreham did not visit them much before he proposed marriage to her. He might have seen her a dozen times. She went to visit Mr. Boreham wi hout her father, but she did not do so many times. While she was at her brother's she served in the shop, and it was the custom after supper for the apprentices, witness, and the maid, to go down in the kitchen, and her brother had complained of their frolicking and making so much noise together. Her brother had left her with the ap prentices, and they had walked to: ether at night in the orcha-d. There was another apprentice named Smith, and a maid-servant, and they were frequently together in tke orchard at night. The defendant was seventeen years old when he first came to her brother's, and the improper inter course did not take place between them for a year and a half afterwards. She did riot recollect whether the first intercourse took place in or out of doors. She now remembered it took place in a house. ( The witness being pressed, at length said it was in the shop that the intercourse took place.) Did not know whether the fellow •apprentice was in the kitchen with the maid at the time it took place. While this was going on her brother was sitting up with his wife. She knew a gentle man named Wood, who was frequently at Barnet, but she did not know where he resided. His father was a clergyman, and he lived at Barnet. Young Mr. Wood was about one or two and twenty years old, and on one occasion he overtook her and another young lady in Hadley Wood, and he conversed with them about ten minutes, and this was the only occasion he spoke to her. Relieved Mr. Wood was called" Bright-eyes," but she never called him by that name. Remembered a po liceman being at Barnet. She never walked with him, or called him the unboiled lobster. Her brother had, on some occasions, complained of her inattention to business, but not of her laughing and joking with the apprentices. She was not discharged from her brother's service. Re-examined—The gentleman who had been mentioned, Mr. Wood, never took the least improper liberty with her, neither did Mr. Boreham, and no person had done so but the defendant. Mr. James Courtnall, father of the last witness, proved the fact of her having been placed in the service of her brother, and he also corroborated her evidence in rererence to the other eii cumstances of her journey to Beccles, Etc. He could not tell the precise time when he was first informed of the misfor tune that had befallen his daughter; in consequence of what was told him, he had an interview with the defendant, and told him what he had heard, and he said it was no use to deny it, and he attempted to cast some insinuations upon her character, and witness told him he was making it worse. Witness asked him what he proposed to do, and he said he should do nothing, and witness then said he must adopt some other course. Witness afterwards saw the defendant in the presence of his mother, and he suggested to the latter that the young people should be married ; but she would not consent to it, and said she should not control her son's inclinations, and that he was engaged to another young lady. Finding that they would not consent to the marriage, he proposed that some mutual friends should be called in to arrange the matter, but this pro• position was also refused. Cioss-examined—He had been put to an expense of 221., and there were various expenses to be paid. He certainly expected some compensation fur the injury his daughter had sustained. Mr. PLATT then addressed the jury for the defendant, and Chief Justice TINDAL having summed up, the jury delibe rated for a few minutes, and then returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 40/. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. Several men have' within the last week made complaint at the Justice-room of breaeh of contract upon the part of Messrs. Ackerman, Morgan, and Co., Bristol, engineers ; and Alder man Wilson, upon hearing the nature of the cause of dis agreement, directed that Mr. Arthur Bell, the agent to the firm, which is one of the highest respectability, should attend to give an explanation or defence of the conduct of the principals. Arthur Greig stated that he was an engineer , and resided at Deptford-green. That having seen an advertisement in the newspapers for a number of engineers, and the reference to Mr. Pall, the agent to the Bristol Company, he applied ac cordingly, and was informed by that gentleman that the wages to be paid to the men was to be 325. and 345. ; that he said he was satisfied to go if he was to receive 345. a. week ; and that Mr. Ball consented, and wrote upon a card, " Pay An drew Greig 345. a-week ;" and mentioned that witness should, after a little, have his expenses to Bristol defrayed. The business for which witness, and five other men who were present, were engaged, was to make new engines for steam vessels. He wrought for three weeks, and, in the middle of the last week, he was at work. The foreman told him that his pay was to be reduced to 265. a-week. Upon hearing which, he expos tulated with Mr. Morgan upon such an unreasonable change, and was informed by that gentleman that there was a mistake upon the part cif his communicant. Having, however, ascer tamed that the reduction was to take place, notwithstanding the positive agreement with the Company's agent, he left the concern, and he had not received the price of his journey up and down, although it was perfectly well understood that the expenses were to be defrayed. Under all the circumstances, he and 'everal other men had found it necessaty, in conse quence of the reduction, to quit the work, to their serious in jury and inconvenience. _ He defied anv skilful person to find fault with his work, and l►e considered that the conduct of the Managers of the Company was reprehensible in the extreme. Another engineer stated that upon hearing of the report of the reduction of their wages he went to ask whether there was any complaint of his work, and was told that there was not. One of the, clerks, however, mentioned that he (wit ness) was picked out as not fit, although he had worked for the same concern for a period of seven months, on a former engagement, at the highest wages, which were then 365. per week. Twenty-two hands left the Company in the first week. He was to be reduced to 30s. a week, and he gave up the work in consequence. Alderman WILSON—Have any of the men remained? Wit ness—Yes. There are three now receiving 345. per week. Mr. Ball said that he had received his instructions by letter from the British Company, whose liberality was proverbial, and the reason their wages were reduced was that the men iteto F or , h the rti.:pey th .y received. Ile bad cau tioned them nit not L., gl to Ifr;stoi it they were nt,t worth the Nil wages, as they would, if they proved deficient, must Ls 44t•edly be reduced. rpon hoing put to the test they were fund to be wanting. and then the managers had to al'ernative but to reduce or to dismiss. Alderman WILSON sail that he could not render any as ist-luce to the complainants, as they had no written contract; but he could not help saying that he considered them exceed. ingly ill-treated, and he hoped that at least their expenses to and from Bristol would be defrayed. The complainants said ihat the CoMpany would find it rather difficult to get men in London to throw up their work on a future occasion and go down to Bristol. Mr. flail declared that nothing could exceed the kindness and liberality of Mr. Morgan to the men employed by the Com pany, and that there was a most intolerable spirit of combination amongst those men. Alderman WILsoN—I understand that some of the men who attend here to complain followed my . advice, and summoned the agent to the Court of Requests for the amount of their pass ge to and from Bristol, and that they succeeded. Now I advisod all the rest to do the like, and I have r.o doubt as to the result. A simple country girl, 'tamed Eliza Walker, was brought be'we the Lord Mayor by a good natured City policeman, named William Edmonds (No. 526), who sated her the night before from destruction. • The policem .n said that he observed the young woman, who app'ared to be a stranger in London, in the neighbour hood of the Custom-house in conversation with a female whose exterior was not very prepossessing. Suspecting that all was not right ho went up to the girl, and the woman took the op portunity to decamp upon observing that he was making some inquiry. The girl toll him that she had just arrived in town from Lincolnshire, where her father was a farmer in a good hoe of busines4, and that as she and her step-mo her could not agree she left her home in the bustle of the election, deter mined to go and seek her fortune in Australia. Witness asked her who the woman was to whom she had been speaking, and from her answer concluded that the former was one of those wretches who are ever on the look-out for inexperienced country girls with whom to make an iniquitous market. The girl said that the woman walked up to her and got into conversa tion with her, by advising her not to go too near the water, and showing other anxiety about her welfare. These questions were followed up by a request of the loan of five shillings, which, although all the money the poor young creature had was five and sixpence, she, without hesitation, parted with, so that all that remained to her was the sixpence. The wo man who had thus ingratiated herself in the good graces of the poor girl, endeavoured to prevail upon her to drink, took her in a boat over to one of the steam-vessels in the river, and in vited her into the cabin amongst the seamen, whom an instinc tive apprehension, however, induced her to avoid. The woman subsequently proposed to take her to a house where there would he a great deal of fiddling and dancing amongst sailors and other jolly fellows, but to that place also she was afraid to go. Elie Loan IIAv on. asked tho girl what she proposed to do? —She replied that she had seen enough of London, and would go blek to her father, if she had the means. - The policeman stated that the girl, who appeared to be the mere child of simplicity, had told him in confidence that she hzd been born with something upon her flee, and that she sup posed that she would one day make away with herself. He was alarmed at her defenceless condition, and resolved to take her to the station-house; and she wept bitterly at her de plorable lot. The LORD MAYOR said that the policeman had proved him self to be a young man of excellent feeling, and deserved the kind notice of the Commissioner, for the genuine humanity which he displayed. His Lordship then directed the policeman to pay for the poor girl's passage to Hull, and to supply her with the means of reaching her father's house. THE QUEEN V. PRICE. This was an indictment for a libel. At the sitting of the Court this morning the defendant applied to Mr. Justice Maule to have the trial put off, upon the ground that some business in which he had been lately occupied at the Sessions, pre vented him from making sufficient preparation fa. the defence of the ease. Air. Justice MAtTLE suggested that, instead of putting off the trial, the defendant should apologise to the prosecutor, to which suggestion, after a great deal of conversation. the def, n dant submitted, and apologised accordingly. Nothing trans pired about the particulars of the libel itself. EADES V. PRATT. This action had been brought to recover compensation in damages, &c., for a breach of promise of marriage. Upon the case being called on, Mr. EttLE, who with Mr. Saunders - appeared for the plain tiff, stated that the action had net been brought with any pur pose of deriving any pecuniary advantage from the verdict, but in order to remove any impression which may anywhere exist, that the defendant, in refusing to perform his promise, had been influenced by any feeling of diminished respect for the character of the plaintiff. Nr. CROWDER, upon the part of the defendant, gave the fullest satisfaction upon this point ; and it was agreed that a verdict should, by cuneent, be taken for the plaintiff. Damages, 501. • NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York, July 13. CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGUTMANO Joseph Turner and, William Horseley were indicted fOr a burglary and robbery in the house of Mr. W. Dyson, at Ec elesfield, in the West Riding, en the 27th of May last. It appeared from the evidence, that the prosecutor, who is , near 90 years of age, and his wife 85, lived in a small house, near Ecclesfield. They slept on the ground floor, and a lodger, named Abbott, up stairs. Between two and three o'clock in the morning the wife awoke and saw a man with a candle in the room, and called out. He came to the bedside with a hedgestake, and demanded money. She said they had only a few shillings in the cupboard, which he made her get up and show him. She then saw there were two men. The old man tried to get up,. when one of the thieves pushed him back i with a stick, using violent threats. The old woman then got up stairs and alarmed Abbott, but the two thieves quickly fol lowed, and threatened to kill him if he stirred. They then went away, and Abbott was about to get out of the chamber window to give an alarm, when he saw a third man, also armed with a hedgestake, outside. After they were gone away, Abbott attempted to go out, when he found the door fastened outside, and was obliged to get nut of the window. He then went to the house of the prosecutor's son, who lived near, whose door was also fastened outside, as if with the intention of pieveniing him getting out, if alarmed. The old people were too much alarmed to identify the prison ers, but from the description given of them by Abbott they were tpiten up, and he now positively swore to their identity. The Learned Counsel addressed the Jury for their respec tive clients, and the Jury, after consider able deliberation, re turned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. Sentence deterred. . Joseph Pilling, Samuel Laycock, and David Laycock, were indicted fora burglary 'in . the Brighouse toll-bar, on the night of the 3,1 of April Lit. It appeared that the toll-bar is kept by a man named George earner, seventy-five years of age. About four o'clock in the morning he was awakened by a noise, and, getting up, per ceived by the light of the tires from the Sheef-works that the prisoner Pilling was endeavouring to effect an entrance. He then ran and fastened a back-door which led to a milkhouse, and returned to the front door and window. The three per sons then assailed the house with a storm of stones, with which the window was s.;:ashed. Corner twice fired a pistol, but without effect, and then betcok himself to a large fork„ with which he prodded the assailants when they attempted to enter. Two of them went to the milkhouse, and getting on the roof,.took , eff, the s l a t es an d entered, but found t h e d oor leading from it to the dwelling fast. They repeatedly de manded a - sovereign ; earner said he had only 9d., the toll collector having been the day before. At length the 9d. was-, thrown through the window, and they went away. There QUEEN-SQUART. ASSAULT UPON THE PoLicE.L.Francis Blaisden, an old bl;nd man, was charged with being drunk ; and James M' Carthy, his leader, a sturdy-looking youth, about 17 years of age, was charged with a most violent assault upon a policeman. Police Constable Whitwell, 164 B, stated that about a quar ter to two o'clock that morning he was on duty in Westbourne street, Pimlico, when he saw the defendants lying in the middle of the road drunk. He went to endeavour to get them on to their legs, when M'Carthy hit him, and kicked him in such a manner as to entirely disable him : assistance, how ever, came up, and defendants were taken to the station-hou , e. The policeman added, that the injuries he had received were so severe, that he had been obliged to be bled, and the surgeon had said it would be necessary to cup him on the ensuing day. The excuse of both defendants was that they were drunk. Mr. BURRELL fined the defendant Ill‘Carthy 51., or two months' imprisonment, and the other defendant, ss. BOW-STREET. A " WATERFORD " FREAK.— George Dobson, a very fa shionably attired young man, was placed before Mr. Twyford, charged with having wrenched the knocker from the hall-door of AIN Dow, cf Brydges-street, Covent Garden. It appeared that the prisoner, in company with sever:l young men, was proceeding along Brydges stree t o n W e d nes d a y evening, and on coming up to the house of Mr. Dow, bo o tm a ke r , the prisoner walked deliberately up to the hall-door, and wrenched off' the brass knocker. The pasty then proceeded down the street, and called a cab, but having been seen by a policeman, he came up and took the young man at the bar into custody. The whole of the parties were in liquor at the time. The prisoner said he was very sorry for what had happened. He was in liquor at the time, and had no recollection of the circumstances. The MAGISTRATE referred to the Act of Parliament, and said that he was empowered by it to inflict a penalty not ex ceeding hi. If these practices were allowed, he knew not how far they might be carried, as persons in a lower grade of life might be induced to break the knockers from doors for the purpose of pawning or selling them, as it appeared that the knocker in question was a valuable one. He should therefore not pass it over, but fine the prisoner 40s. The fine was immediately paid, and the Magistrate inti maled to the,prisoner that he ought to pay the amount of the repairs that would be required for the door ; but Mr. Dow, who appeared against the prisoner, said he should be satisfied if he would contribute something towards the poor's-box. This he promised to do, and the prisoner was then discharged. HOP INTELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE.— Our district reports arc somewhat conflict ing, some of our correspondents being apprehensive of a short crop from various causes, whilst others speak of the plantations must favourably. In this neighbourhood the bine continues to look well and promises wi 11. OTHA AI AND LANGLEY.—The hops in these parishes con tinue looking well, and of a very healthy continuance, and to present the appearance that a good crop may be expected. In a garden or two a few spots of mould have been found. LEEDS.-The hops in this parish are very strong and good, and, should they escape the mould, a large crop may be ex pected. CHART SUTTON AND EAST SUTTON.—The hop bine in this district has made but little progress during the past week, and some of the plantations have a weakly and unhealthy ap pearance. They are coming into burr, and, from the shortness of the bine generally,: the duty must be much over-rated. . . Bouctrro‘ii.—The hop bine w in this parish is looking well in most of the plantations, which are likely to grow an average crop for the year, if they are not struck with the mould. WORCESTER.—We continue to receive the most favourable accounts from the plantations; but business in this market is completely at a stand-still. The duty is estimated at 20,000/. SUICIDE AT BLACKFRIARS-BRlDGE.—Wed nesday a long inquiry took place by Mr. Pane, at the Steel yard Coffee-house, Upper Thames-street, on view of the body of Janet M'Lachlan, aged 22, who was found drowned near Old Swan-stairs, on Sunday afternoon. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was the wife of a tailor, residing at No. 30, llosier-lane, at:d thzt she and her husband went to see a friend, named Fisher, livinz near Shoe-lane, on Monday evening, when the husband asked the wife to let him have some money to fetch something to drink, which she objected to, say ing he was always wanting money. The husband, being vexed, pushed her, when she fell a-crying--after which she threw him down the purse, and took a bottle to fetch the drink herself, but never returned. The deceased was a good wife, but very obstinate as well as her husband, which led to frequent quarrel inc. She had attempted self•destructien before. Verdict— ' Found drowned." LAUNCH OF THE MEDWAY PACKET STEAM SHIP.—On Tuesday afternoon, a vast multitude of persons crowded the dock- yard of Mr. Pitchard, situate at Nortlifleet, near Gravesend. to witness the launch of a first class steam-ship, the Medway, 1,200 tons burthen, which took place at high water, and in perfect safety. She belongs to the East Nal l Steam-packet Company, and is intended to c2rry out the mails. In the evening she was taken in tow by a steamer, and pro c e ted to the West India Docks, where she now lies. MELANCHOLY AND SUDDEN DEATH.—IN QUEST.—On Saturday an inquest was held at the Talbct Inn, Claines, before J. B. Hyde, Esq., coroner for the city, on view of the body of Miss Harriet Osborne, aged 26, who died very suddenly on the previous even ing. It appeared in evidence that the deceased had taken a walk on Friday evening, attended by her female ser vant. Having returned to her residence in Britannia square; she took tea about nine o'clock, shortly after which she complained of giddiness in her head, and would no doubt have fallen to the ground but for the assistance of a servant. She was removed into another room, and the unpleasant symptoms abated a little. At her request medical aid was procured, and Mr. C. Shelton, surgeon of this city, promptly attended. At first he had no reason to consider that the seizure would be attended with any fatal consequences, but the symptons increasing in in tensity, he was induced to send for Dr. Hastings, be fore whose arrival the young lady breathed her last, about half-past ten o'cloek on the same evening. Under all the circumstances the Coroner thought it de sirable that a post mortein examination should be made to ascertain the cause of death. This was performed by Mr. H. D. Carden, by whose evidence it appeared that congestion of the vessels of the brain was the proximate cause of the melancholy catastrophe. Mr. Carden also remarked that the deceased lady's heart was the smallest he had ever seen, weighing not seven ounces, and that it was probable that this malformation had operated to shorten Pier life. The - Jury returned a verdict, " Died by the visitation of God." In the death of this amiable young lady, her friends have sustained an irreparable loss, and the poor are deprived of a considerate bene factor.— Worcester Chronicle.. A determined act of suicide was committed dur ing the night of Wednesday last, by a fine youth, named Sa muel Corbett, aged seventeen years. an apprentice to Mr. T. Smith, a tinplate worker in ißunhill-row, St. Luke's. The unfortunate youth had for some time past been accustomed to sleep upon four chairs in the workshop, and his master had been in the habit of locking hitt in when he retired to rest. Upon entering the apartment at about seven o'clock yesterday morning, the master perceived a quantity of blood on the floor, and upon approaching the lad's sleeping place, he was hors ified to find that his head was almost severed from his body, the neckbone and all the veins and arteries having been completely divided. A raa•ir, with which the dreadful deed was accom plished, was lying by his side steeped in blood. Mr. Leeson, the divisional surgeon of police, who was sent for to examine the body, stated it as his opinion that he had been several hours dead. OLYMPIC THEATRE.—The Lord Chamber lain, on the ayplication of Mr. Baker, the stage manager of this establishment, has granted a license ,to open the theatre for W 0 months, in addi:ion to the usual season, for the relief of the dramatic portion of the late company at Astley's, and who have not obtained engagements t hewhere. This permis sion reflects high honour upon the Lord Chamberlain, and an undertaking entered upon with such laudable motives deserves to succeed. Mr. G. Wilde, the lessee, has cordially given his co-operation, and Mr. Baker's active services in the stage de partment will be again resumed. The house, we are informed, will be opened in a few days, with an eminently-effective com pan y. A NARROW ESCAPE.—AS two young ladies were lately playing by a small pool near this city, the one by accident fell in, and had it not been for a young gentleman who stood by, and immediately jumped in, and after scme exer tion succeeded in bringing her to shore, she must have been drowned.
