TO COMMERCIAL GENTLEMEN.—H av i ng been informed that it is ve-y generally circulated in the various Commercial Rooms in the country, more particularly those of South Wales, that I had, by way of securing a debt from a customer in the latter district, obtained a parcel of hats, after he was declared a bankrupt, thereby causing every lin lest man justly to express his indignation at such conduct, I feel it due to my character as a tradesman, to adopt the present mode of contradiction, by saying that such a report is whol:y without foundation, as I would scorn such an act of injustice; and further I beg most distinctly to state that I have not tra velled in Wales for several years past, neither have I had any transaction whatever with the individual in question. After this explanation I hope my commercial friends (having been myself a commercial traveller 21 years) will thoroughly exone rate me from such a dishonourable and injurious charge. It must therefore belong to some other person. JOHN R. HARDING. London Hat Warehouse, 60, Wine-street, Bristol. PUBLICATIONS. GISBORNE ON THE CORN-LAWS. Price 6d., or 30s. per 100.

BANKRUPTCY-WEDNESDAY. THE TALLOW TRADE..-EX PARTE HUBBARD IN RE BEAU MONT MARSHALL, A BANKRUPT. Mr. Commissioner EVANS gave judgment in this case to day, and said that the facts of the case appeared to be as fol low :—By a contract note, dated the 6th of Augu s t, 1841, t h e creditor sold to the b an krupt certain casks of tallow. The bankrupt stopped payment on the 9th of October following, and a meeting of some of his creditors was held, but the creditors generally were not summoned, and only a compara tively small number attended it. At that ineetiorit was sug gested that all unexccuted. contracts should be closed, and the difference between contract price and market price on that day should be debited or credited to the now bankrupt. To this ar rangement the now bankrupt gave his assent, and upon th arrangement Messrs. Hubbard and Co. were entitled to a credit for '4861. by such difference. The bankrupt swore that at this time he contemplated bankruptcy, and was hopelessly insolvent. This proof was resisted, on the ground that it was what was called in law a " frau dulent preference." On the other side it was con tended that it was only the settlement of an account, and that even if it could under other circumstances be considered as a " fraudulent preference," yet the consent of the credi tors at the mee;ing made it a good and valid transaction, and cited " Derrow v. Baldwin," 5 East, 175. The question for his (Mr. Commissioner Evans's) consideration was, whether such an advantage could by law be supported? Nothing, he thought, could be more injurious to the interests of the com mercial community than the allowing insolvent debtors to prefer one creditor to another. It must be apparent to every person that such an act on the part of the debtor was dis honest, and if the creditor was aware of the intention of the debtor, it was also dishonest in him. The case cited from 5 East ought not, he thought, to govern his decision in the pre• sent instance, as there were many circumstances in that which did not arise in the one now before him. There the opinion of Counsel was relied on, as proving the assignees could not hold, and in that case it would appear that all the London creditors were summoned; in this case there was only a small number, and that decision, even with all those additional circumstances, did not appear to have met the approbation of two of the ablest Judges. It therefore appeared to him, on the best con sideration he could give the question, that the transaction be tween Mr. Hubbard and the bankrupt was in law a fraudulent preference, and could not be made the subject of proof.

There were twenty-one prisoners for trial, all of whom were males. Of this number eight can neither read nor write, and of the remainder only one can read and write well. upon the present occasion had come from that postscript (pointing to the last witness, who had remained in the box). His Learned Friend had open his case as one calling for exem plary damages, that it was a case of unprovoked assault ; the tlefiindant bad fired off a gun,the shots from which had wounded him all over the left side of the face, and had very nearly gone in'o his eye. He went on to state, that accidentally, or rather providentially, a surgeon was on the spot, and that that surgeon very shortly afterwards dressed the wound. The Learned Counsel proceeded to comment farther upon the nature of the evidence that had been adduced, declaring that the defendant had been the party abused by the gross outrage that had been perpetrated against him by the people carrying out the foolish custom, as it had been called, of propping. Mr. Justice WILL' wins told the jury, if they were satisfied the defendant had disch arge d the gun, and had hit the plaintiff in the face, he would be entitled to a verdict ; the question of damages they would also have to estimate. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION -HOUSE. Sir CirAr st A N 'MARSHALL was, yesterday, for some time occupied in hearing a case which displayed a great deal of vil lany upon one side, and a great deal of credulity upon the other. Richard Hitchcock, a grave-looking person, abdut fifty years ofage, was put to the bar, charged with having defrauded Mr. Hinton, formerly of the house of Hinton and Taylor, of Queen-street, Cheapside, of various sums of money, amount ing, in the aggregate, to upwards of 1,0001. Mr. Pelham, the solicitor, attended for the prisoner. Mr. Hinton stated that the prisoner at the latter end of the' year 1839, called upon him, and stated to him that a gentleman, named Joshua 'Wall, bad been left heir to an im mense property, which was subject to a suit in Chancery, and that as Mr. Wall was not able to irArry it on satisfactorily, in consequence of the want of ready money, Übe (witness) would advance the funds for that purpose, and support the family of the claimant, pending the suit, a portion of the property should be given to him. Believing that the prisoner represented facts, witness began to draw cheques upon his bankers to sup ply the means of proceeding; in equity in Mr. Wall's case ; and between the end 'of 1 ' 839 an the end of 1810, he drew, to the best of his knowledge, 1,3001. from his btnker's hands, all of which money was appropriated to the above-men tioned object, as he supposed, from the statement of the in dividual who had applied for his services upon the part of Mr. Wall. The information given by the prisoner, from time to time, relative to the proceedings in Chancery, was such as completely deceived witness ; and at last the delightful intelli gence was communicated to him, in a letter from the prisoner, that the whole was terminated in favour of Mr. Wall, and that it was only necessary to have him in town to receive the money, and to come to the necessary arrangements for the dis charge of the pecuniary obligations the heir was under to his friends. The letter conveying this news, concluded with a re quest for an additional sum, to enable Mr. Wall to appear in town in a proper condition, and a cheque was imMediatelygiven for the amount required. Sir C. MARSHALL—What was the amount of the property which Hitchcock said had been left to Mr. Wall?—Mr. Hinton replied that the prisoner assured him it exceeded 167,0001. Sir C. MAnsuALL observed, that, of course, the com plainant must have some idea that, in a case of the kind, law yers must be employed, and that a person of ordinary prudence would have soon learned whether there was any foundation for the statement that such a suit was in Chancery. Mr. Hinton said that there, had been, it was true, a case of the kind in Chancery, in which Mr. Wall had been a suitor for property to the amount of nearly 200,0001., but in consequence of the circumstance that Mr. Wall had not made his claim in due time, a decree had passed by which the money became the property of persons of the name of Cox, and the whole business was terminated at least two years before Mr. Wall came for ward with his claim. The prisoner well knew that the Lord Chancellor had decided the case, and that the solicitors employed upon the occasion on the part of Mr. Wal. (Messrs. Shaw and Taylor, of Fenchurch-street,) had ascertained all about it, and given it up as a hopless experiment. The villany of the pri soner all throu,gh the affair was extreme, for witness supported and clothed him and his family, who were, previously to their acquaintance with him, in a state of abject poverty, and witness was now a completely ruined man merely through the prisoner's instrumentality. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL — I am very sorry for you. It is a severe punishment for having put confidence in a person whom you served. Mr. Pelham—lf Mr. Wall succeeded in the suit, you were to receive a ration of the property, you say? Mr. Hinton— Certainly I was. That was the understanding upon the sub ject. I was convinced that the money I advanced was applied in the prosecution of the suit. I sold a valuable business to furnish the means of proceeding. Mr. Pelham--There is a material difference in the accounts. Published this day, price 9d. THE FIRST CATECHISM of GEOGRAPHY. • By the Rev. T. WILSON.

London : Darton and Clark, Holborn-hill . You say you have lent money to Mr. Hitchcock 2—Mr.. Hin ton—l consider that I h ave lost upwards of 1,0001. in cash, and upwards of NO/. in other whys by him. Several gentlemen who seemed to know something of the transactions, here declared that they really believed the losses In various ways sustained by the unfortunate complainant, through the base conduct of the prisoner, exceeded 3,0001. t•ir CHAPMAN Al ARSIIALL asked whether Mr. Hinton was in business in Queen-street ?—Mr. Hinton replied in the ne gative. He had dissolved partnership with Mr. Taylor in con- , sequence of this disastrous affair, and Mr. Taylor had given him 1,1001. for his share. lence, for which there did not appear to have been the shadow of an excuse. As, however, he was wanted at the Northamp ton Assizes in several eases to be tried, he should allow him to arrange matters with the complainant. The result was, that the defendant agreed to pay the corn plainant 21. ; and, at the request of the 31agistrate, also pi( 10s. into the poor-box. TRADE IN THE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS., In that Report of Mr. Leonard lloniCr, which he held in his hand, as he must at the time have been fully aware, there were well-authenticated statements rela tive to the pressure of distress in the manufacturing districts which far exceeded anything he himself had witnessed or stated in 1827 ; yet the Honourable Ba ronet, to show that he was worthy-of being retained as a Member of the Duke of Richmond's Government, overlooked all those statements, and, by a few garbled extracts, endeavoured to make the House of Commoni believe that the main causes of distress were over-pro duction and improvements in machinery I As regards the extent of the distress, Mr. Leonard Homer, in his Report says:— " I regret to say, that the distress, which I stated in my last report to be so prevalent among the mill-occupiers and their work-peopl•. has, in nu degree abated, but, on the contrary, has, I fear, increased. Wherever I have been, 1 have heard the same sad tale, with very few exceptions, that trade is in a state of extreme depression, and without any distinct prospect of improvement. Cotton-factories constitute three-fourths of the number, and nearly nine-tenths of the working populatiOn of the mills in my district (which e7mprehentis the whole of Lancashire), and therefore I hear most of the distress that prevails in that branch. But„from all 1 can learn, neither the woollen northe flax aredn-a better state." I fere we have the tes:imony of Mr. Horner, whose evidence no man will call in question, that, severe as is the distress in the cotton trade, it is equally severe in the woollen and liax departments. What becomes, then, of Sir James Graham's evidence in support of Mr. Fer rand's statements ?-111unchester Guardian.

Mr. Pelham—Did you not pay 400/. of that money t , ) a clerk in the bank to whom you owed it? Mr. Hinton—No; I owed no clerk in the bank any money, and I never paid away a shilling of the money in that way. Mr. Pelham—Did not the prisoner sell a farm of his, and give yon some of the proceeds? Mr. Hinton—He sold a farm lam told, but not one farthing did he give to me. He never handed see one farthing. The complainant here put in the last letter he had received from the prisoner, which was dated January 22, I 841,. an d b egan thus : " Sly dear Sir,—l right merely to say that our business is concluded, with the exception of fetching up Wall, which I intend doing to-morro w to do so, &c. &c." , and must b eg a littl e o f th e n e e df u l The friends of Mr. Hinton manifested the greatest anxiety lest the prisoner should escape through the meshes of the law, but Sir CHAPMAN MAnstiALL said he had every reason to be lieve, and Mr. Hobler confirmed him in the opinion, that a strong case was likely to be made out against Mr. Hitchcock as ()u asS a l s e stsors. theconclusion c oion of the Cha nc ery suit. Lacy, Hare, and T ay l or , s h ou ld ma k e th e ir statements soon Dr. Alexander Lee, of Three Cr own - square , B oro ugh, stated that he knew Mr. Hint on and the prisoner. It was commu nicated to him as a very great secret by Mr. Hinton that the prisoner was a person of enormous wealth in Amer i ca. Th e prisoner himself confir me d the description by stat i ng t h at he had not only 140,000/. in the Bank of England, but that the whole site of Philadelphia belonged to him.—(Laughter.) Witness having a brother who resided in America forty years,.l was induced to write to him for information on the subject. Previously, however, the prisoner having stated that he was about to receive 3,000/. from Lord Bruce, together with the necessary means for taking possession, witness wrote to that nAleman for information. The answer to that communi cation denied any knowledge of the prisoner, or the , sub ject, connected with his name. Still witness was will ing that the prisoner should have the benefit of whatever information might arrive from America.—(A laugh.) In due time witness received an answer from his brother, in forming him that the statement was a mere fabrication, that the prisoner was wholly unknown as a man of property in America, and that as Philadelphia was the property of the State, it could not be the property of any individual.— (Laughter.) This was about the Christmas of 1840. There being not the slightest doubt that the prisoner was an impos tor, witness endeavoured to induce Mr. Hinton to indict him, and act upon the same opinion, but without effect. Mr. Hin ton, who did not suppose it possible that a p erson , t o w h om an d to whose family he had acted with -so much kindness and libe rality, could act with ingratitude, continued to place confidence in the statements made to him, and plunged himself at length beyond recovery. Sir C. MausitALL—Have you lost money yourself by the prisoner? Dr. Lee—Certainly I have. Sir C. M.s. asuaLL —Have you seen money pass from Mr. Hinton to the prisoner?-1 have not ; but 1 have net the least doubt that Mr. Hinton has been ruined by the prisoner. Mr. Joshua Wall, of Ingatstoue, stated that lie was formerly a farmer. He believed that he was entitled to a fortune of great magnitude. He had, however, applied too late. A gentleman of the name of Clayton had taken it in hand for him, and em ployed solicitors, and the case had gone through the courts. A family of the name of Cox had conic in for the property under a decree of the Court of Chancery. The prisoner, however, had assured him, 9tlling God to witness it, that all was right, and that he had succeeded, and that the property would be his own. The prisoner had told him to gut his clottes, and every thing also ready, as he was to take possession immediately. S:r C. MARSHALL — What do you constder the amount of the property to be? Mr. Wall— Upwards of 168,0001 . Mr. Thomas Pullen, of Stoke, in Essex, deposed that he had got the property from Antigua heard the prisoner say he for Mr. Wall; that the chequeswere all ready, and that Mr. Wall must be in readiness. Witness certainly was an in terested did not know what he was to receive.— (A party, but he who left. the fortune was Mr. Charles ( A laugh.)

The complainant (who had been in the hospital since the oc rence took place, and who still appeared in a very weak and in corn languid state) gave evidence to the following effect :—At about one o'clock on Sunday Wisdom, P am , up i c , a a n n a y l m br i i l d h g a e, b C oa i t ty m - a r n oa , City-road,, and as he was passing him, the pris;ner, without the slightest pro vocation, pushed him the cha r p d r ofr tlic he pavement.

(Ahrid,4ed from the Manchester Guardian.) _ The numerous merchants, manufacturers, andothers Crequenting our 'Change on Tuesday repaired to Ducie idace,.lea wing the room very thinly attended. Mr. John Bright, of Rochdale, was called to the chair. —He said I have come forward from a firm and a solemn conviction, that unless you do something, and that soon, yon will see your prosperity swept away to such an ex tent, that no alteration of the Corn laws, or any other law, can base it upon such a footing as to make it at all permanent.—(lf ear.) lam persuaded, from What I have seen of late in the House of Commons, and what you have all witnessed, that there is a regular conspiracy on the part of a very large and powerful class in this coun try—(Hear and .cheers)—to destroy the commerce of England, if it should in any way grow so large as to op- . pose itself to the aristocratic power in this country. —(Hear, hear.) If the principles and feelings thus manifested be carried out, farewell to the prosperity of this country for erer.—(Hear, hear.) The present Corn-laws are about to be abrogated ; but the monopolists are about to forge in their stead new fetters for our industry ; and it rests much with the men I see before me, whether those fetters shall he forged and riveted on us. You get the odium of re ducing wages ; but hive you not kept up wages for the last five years, with your profits every year becothing less and less? I have attended 'Change for the last two years ; and I have asked myself what kind of men are these that I see week after week on the Manchester Ex ' change, crawling about, grumbling at had trade, and yet not daring to liftnp their hands aginst the cause. At this moment, seethe population aromta you starving by thousands ; with a capital and an amount of labour which, well employed, might make England greater than ever !—(Hear, hear.) Let me intreat you to sink the stupid distinctions of Whig and Tory, and to stand up foryour commerce,your homes, for the people amongst. whom you five, and for everything you hold dear and sacred in this world.—(Cheers.) . Mr. Wm. HAnvEv moved a resolution as follows : "That this meeting of merchants, spinners, manufac turers, and others, assembled on the Manchester Ex , el-inge, do declare our solemn and unalterable convic• tion, that the Corn-laws are the great cause of the corn. mercial distress now existing throughout the country that they are fast destroying the cotton-trade, depre , ciating to an enormous extent the value of property in. vested in that trade ; and that, whilst they threa ter speedy ruin to the capitalist, th e y h ave already im poverished multitudes of industrious and honest work men, and are driving almost an entire population into a state of suffering and destitution, which it is fearful to contemplate. That this meeting, in pronouncing an emphatic condemnation of the Corn-laws, declares that the measure introduced by the Government is a bitter mockery and insult unworthy of any statesman to pro pose, and of the people to accept. That no alteration of the Corn-law, which does not contemplate-a total re peal, at a very earlyperiod, can be acceptable, or can save the commerce of our country from the disasters which threaten it with utter ruin."—(There were loud cries of " Hear, hear," at the words " mockery and in sult," and at the concluding part of the sentence in which . they occur.) Mr. Alderman BROOKS seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN then read and put the resolution, in viting all in favour of it to say, " Ay," and hold up their hands.—There was one general shout of " Ay, and almost every one present appeared to hold up a hand. The CHAIRMAN next asked if there were any of a contrary opinion, and called on them to hold up their hands. (Not a hand was raised.) Upon the best estimate he could make of the numbers at this moment, there could not be fewer than 1,200 merchants, manufacturers, and others present. Mr. HENRY ASIIWORTII then proposed a petition, which was an echo of the resolution just adopted, with the following as its concluding clause " Your petitioners, therefore, warn your Honourable House against the course of legislation you are now pursuing, and implore you to pause ere you consign to utter ruin the commerce and the industry of this great empire ; and they pray yo ur H onoura bl e Mouse, that all laws which prevent the free importation of grain may be forthwith abolished." ... 17 6 ... 16 6 Pease.

Mr.. BELL, of Bolton, expressed the indignation he felt at finding the way in which Ministers and aristo• crats received the speech of Mr. Ferrand, in his foul libel upon the manufacturers. He hoped all would be more awake to their own interests, and do their utmost towards relieving themselves. The Rev. J. W.

[The following ha bes , n in type for some time, but owing to the length of our Parliamentary proceedings we ba7e not been enabled to find room for it. 1 The half-yearly meeting s.f the Shareholders of this Railway, took place on the 22d ult., in the Company's Office, Glasgow. About 150 persons were present, a great number of them Balding proxies for absent Shareholders from all parts of the kingdom. Mr. Duman TER in the Chair. The Report of the Directors having been read, a series of dis. cussions took place upon various point = arising out of that docu ment, and attempts were made, on the part of Mr. Makgill Crichton, and a few others—first, to move a vote of censure upon those of the Directors who were known to be favourable to Sunday travelling ; and next, to turn them nut of the Direction, in order to make way for others holding different views on this subject; but in both instances they were completely foiled, and the old Direc. tors re-elected. Thebusiness of the general meeting having been finished, the Shareholders then constituted themselves into a special meeting, for the consideration of the question of running trains on the Sunday. The CHAIRMAN stated that several deputations were in waiting with memorials on the subject, which they were snxious to present to the Shareholders in person. This he thought might be per milted as a matter of courtesy, but wills the distinct understanding that they should not occupy more than half an hour.—(Cries of " Agreed, agreed.") The Chairman added that he had received 203 memorials on the same subject, all urging the Shareholders not to permit any travelling on the line on Sunday, and six in favour of Sunday travelling. He had also received a communication from Dundee, which he had been requested to read, announcing that the Shareholders of the Dundee anti Arbroath Railway had, at their meeting on Monday, rejected the proposal to run a train for pas. sengers on Sunday by a majority of 34. The various deputations were then admitted, consisting chiefly of about thirty or forty E,tablished and Dissenting clergymen, connected with Edinburgh, Glasgow, Paisley, &c. Mr. W. COLLINS, bookseller, who seemed to act as the Secre tary of the whole deputations, stated that the largest portion of the memorials were already in the hands of the Secretary or the Shareholders, and that only a few remained to be presented by the deputations. The first memorial to be presented was from the Commission of the General Assembly. The Rev. Dr. Dictssosr, of Edinburgh, then came forward and said—We feel indebted to your courtesy for admitting us to your meeting this day. I appear here as the representative of the Com. mittee of the Commission of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland appointed to watch over the progress of your splendid operations, and particularly with reference to the apprehensions we entertain that your Railway might be employed to desecrate the Lord's Day. The memorial from the Commission was some time ago printed and circulated among the Shareholders, so that it is quite unnecessary for me to do more than merely lay the document upon your table ; but I may state generally that it contains to a certain extent an indication of the anxiety with which the Church of Scotland wait for your deci sion this day. We apprehend the most dismal consequences from any part of that day, which was consecrated from the beginning by God himself, and sanctioned by the authority of our Divina Re deemer, being employed in secular purposes, and more espe cially for the purposes of traffic and trade. ViSe give full au thority—because we are authorised to do so by our Divine Re deemer—to works of necessity and mercy on that day; but it appears to us that travelling on the railway can in no wise be considered as coining under the description either of neves. city or mercy. We have not only looked with anxiety to the de cision of this day, but we have not been unmindful of the neces sity of lifting up our hearts in pr4er privately, and of calling upon our congregations td join us in supplications publicly, that God would put it into the hearts of our countrymen to abstain from doing what you well know we consider as a great sin, and conse. quently from bringing the judgments of God upon our beloved country. I have only in conclusion to express my earnest hope and prayer that God would direct your decision that day so as to prevent the evils which we deprecate.—(Hear, hear.) Memorials were then presented by the Rev. Mr. Macfarlane of Renfrew, from the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr, and from all the Kirk Sessions within its bounds ; by the Rev. Dr. Ileugh, from the United Secession Presbytery of Glasgow ; by the Rev. Mr. Fowler, from the Presbytery of Glasgow; by the Rev. Dr. Burns, from the Presbytery of Paisley; and from the United Kirk Sessions of Pais.. less'; by the Rev. Mr. Storie, from the Presbytery of Dumbarton, anti from nineteen nirk Sessions within its hounds; by the Rev. Dr. Symhyron, from eight different bodies connected with the Reformed Presbyterian Synod ; by the Rev. Mr. Simon, from the Methodists of the Glasgow Circuit ; by Mr. Martin, from the lobo. Wants of Greenock, &c. Mr. COLLINS stated that the declaration threatening to withhold support from the Railway, if opened on the Sabbath, had been signed by 214,113 individuals, and that many of the memorialists would have signed this declaratiun also, but for a feeling of delicacy. to wards the Shareholders, and a hope that it would be unnecessary. Mr. Collins then proceeded to say—'This is an eventful day for our beloved country. The eyes of the people of Scotland are turned with deep and increasing interest ou your proceedings; and it de. ponds on you to impress deep grief on their spirits, or to diftbse gladness throughout the whole Christian community of Scot. land. From our earliest infancy we have been taught to lisp and to know upon the authority of God's worst, that the deco. logue contained ten commandments, and is it Christian Scotland, which has been so long distinguished among the nations for its ob. servance of that holy day—is it, I say, in Christian Scotland that we are to be told for the first time, that there are only nine corn. mandments in God's holy decalogue f. I pray you to recollect also the solemn circumstances connected with this event.' The com mandments were written with the finger of God upon tables of stone, to indicate their enduring character and immutability. Will you then seek to erase from these tables one of the commandments which God has inscribed with his own finger. I pray you to ponder steeply the step you arc now abut to take. My earnest prayer to God is, that lie would inscribe this commandment upon the fleshly tablets of your hearts now, that so you may be led to obey His statutes, to do honour to His holy day, and to protect the inhabit. ants of our beloved country in the peaceful and undisturbed enjoy. ment of their holy Sabbaths. The deputation on that side of the question then retired. The only deputation on the other side, was Mr. Alexander, Greenock, who presented a memorial from 1,806 inhabitants of that town, setting forth the advantages that would accrue, both as re spects the observance of the Sabbath and the health of the work ing classes, by the opening of the Railway upon that day. Mr. Alexander added that the signatures had been procured in the course of eight days, and without any of the canvassing or concussion which had been so extensively employed on the other side; so that the memorial he had the honour to present might safely be takers as a far more accurate indication of the opinion of the people of Gree nock than the other. Sir ANDRUN% AGNEW, in his own name, and in the name of all who should adhere to him, then gave in a protest against the running of trains on Sunday, as opposed to the ancient statute, of the realm ; and against the funds and stock of the Company being liable for defending any action that might be raised against the Company on that point. The following gentleman adhered to the protest, and with Sir Andrew, took instruments in the clerk's hands :—Mr. Makgill Crichton, Mr. James Bridges, Rev. Mr. Dempster of Denny, Rev. John Ferguson, of Monievaird ; Rev. Dr. Keith, of St. Cyrus ; Mr. Charles Philip, Mr. Charles Cowan, Mr. W. Campbell, Dr. George Smyttan, General Pittman, Mr. P. Dalmahoy, Mr. James Craig, and Mr. W. G. Cassells. The CHAIRMAN then expressed a hope that in the discussion about to take place, the speakers would avoid asperity in their remarks, and be as brief as possible.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. APNEicr, said, as the person aho had given notice of the motion for to-day, he was perfectly ready, if the meeting chose, to go to a vote at once, without a single observation. Mr. M&KGILI. Citionox objected to this proposal. It would be a disgrace to permit this great national and religious question to be raised over without a discussion. Mr. M`Nciu.—Well, if the meeting will have a discussinn, I am ready to proceed, but, for my part, I think the subject is en. tirely Exhausted. I think you did right, in point of courtesy, in healing those gentlemen to-day, who thought they could impress considerations upo❑ us calculated to sway our minds ; but I appeal to the judgment of every person within this room, whether, after all the time that has been consumed, after all the warmth that has been expressed, and all the eloquence that has been exhibited, one scintillation of fresh light has been thrown upon this vexed and much debated elites. tion.—(Hear, hear, hear.) From the respect to the individuals who sent them, I thought it my duty carefully to peruse every docu. ment which has been submitted to me on the subject ; and I must candidly say, that after the best consideration I have been able to give them, after the best advice I have been able to procure, I have not seen it my duty to depart one inch, either from the position I took up before, or from the views which I previously briefly submitted to the Board. As my views then remain un. changed, I shall not di tain you by the repetition of them. In fact, if the matter had been left to me, I should not have troubled you with any remarks at all, because I have not the vanity or pre sumption to think that anything that I could say could alter your minds either one way or the other ; for I have no doubt that every man who entered the room this morning, came with the determination to vote in a particular way. But there are one or two considerations, which have been pressed upon our attention to-day, which it may be as well should not be left unnoticed or unanswered. I am willing to deal with the considerations which they say ought . to be conchs. siva with us, If I believed that public opinion was against us— meaning thereby the opinion of the quiet, thinking, and I will add the serious part of the community—l would not press such a me. ion. We must all bow to the omnipotence of public opinion ; ut I recognise in public opinion something very dillbrent from the • ••• clamour mid declamation of public meetings or the signatures pro.. cured to the documents before us. I demur to the propOsition that there Is anything like a general or universal opinion against The memorialists are no doubt numerous; hut If they arc as numerous as they say they are, how comes it that so far as 1 know there is not a single organ of the the public press —with the exception of that small portion of it which advocates a particular system of church policy—which expresses this opinion Upon the subject of these memorials, I confess I feel not a little distressed ; 1 have never been in the habit of impugning the motives of any man who takes a different view of the question from me. But I cannot shut my eyes to the testimony of facts which are staring me In the face, that of these memorials before you, it is scarcely possible to look at one without being convinced hat it is teeming with forgeries.—(Great sensation ; cries of " Shame, shame," " hear, hear," " Chair, chair") The CM \I'D! LN —That is a strong expression you have used, Xr. M' Neill, and I hope you have not made it without being prepared to prove it.—(Hoar, hear.) Mr. M`linn.L—lt is a strong expression, Mr. Chairman; but cannot call facts by any other than their right name.— (" Hear, hear," " Proof, proof.") Here is the proof (holding up a long list of names) Here is the proof in the very first petition which I take up, which contains fifty or sixty names all in the same bandwriting.—(Great cheering. Mr. AVNeill here handed The CHAIRMAN—The names do appear to be all in the same handwriting; but this must surely be a copy of the original petition. Mr, M`NEILL—Sir, it is the original petition itself. It contains one or two genuine signatures; but the rest are all forgeries.. Sir ANDREW Aexew then examined the petition, and read the name of the clergyman from whom it came --Rev. Mr. Glass, Carronshlre. Mr. MA RCILL CRICHTON maintained that, even if Mr. M`Neill's assertion were true, it did not prove forgery,—(Hear.) On the motion of one of the Shareholders Mr. M i Neill's words were taken down by theclork. Mr. M‘Nnitt —Of course, I know nothing of the individuals in this place; but it really looks as if the list had been taken out of some Directory.—(l.aughter ) There are, for instance, tire or six Marshalls, about a dozen of Jenkins, and about halfa.dosen of \Vilsons. (Mr. Mackgill Cticlitoti—" Very natural.") Oh! very natural.—(Laitgliter.) But I don't leave my charge upon this vague statement. Mr. Hamilton has looked into the pititions with more care than myself, and he informs me that hardly one of them is different—(ilear, hear.) I must say Ido not wonder at the number of signatures when I think of the means that have been .. adopted - to procure them—when I i t ) l e i n i t hink e ii sen ob o ta f ini t n l g te ti n w o in n . ey t l ba s t aw ap a pear s to have i been document thin; 1 ur j in Edinburgh setting forth that if every one who 011 "fiSOC d t ry e:- 1, the declaration would pay a shilling each there watt le ' in an ample fund to pay expenses.

We all know also that never in our memory has there been such coercion exercised; such severe, and strenuous, and continued oppression, practised upon servants, children, footmen, and dependents, to procure thei' signatures, and whose noises, when procured, have been ea, merchants and bankers of Edinburgh.—(Graat laughter.) lint interrupted with cries of tenlatiouily paraded as the free expression of the opinion of the Gentleman n actually couli that he bad got the names of all the paupers, in his more than as if tha; g the minister and kirk-session connnanded them to de. but t hl w a i s ia tin t parish ; g else . rs o o n n e s i n ii ev t . ha G t Mr. FERGUSON rose to explain, but w as " Order, order," " Chair, chair."

Mr. LUCAS, Editor and Co-proprietor of the " Tablet " Newspaper, begs to inform the Subscribers and the public, that the paper which on Saturday last was pub lished under that title, was published without his consent and conwirrence ; and he hereby gives notice to all whom it may concern, that he is not, and will not, be responsible for any thing which it may contain.. In consequence of a refusal on the part of his co-proprietor to concur with him in any reason able mode of conducting the paper, or to permit him even tem porarily to publish it in such a way as would not affect the points in dispute between them, Mr. Lucas has been compelled to treat the " Tabl t" as no longer existing, and to bring out a new parr on the same plan, and under the same editorial management as the old one, and under the name of the " True Tablet." A full explanation of the circumstances which hare rendered this step necessary, will be found in the first number of the " True Tablet," published on Saturday, Feb. 26.

TOSS OF LIFE BY FIRE, which is often in - A creased in Local Situations fur want of an Engine or an immediate supply of water.—J. READ begs to inform the public, and every person interested in the protection of pro perty from fire, that he has invented FIRE ENGINES of va rious dimensions, that will discharge from 20 to 40, 70, or 12J gallons of water per minute. The valves being spherical solid metal, car, never get out of repair, but if standing by for years, would be ready to act in an instant. In situations where water is not within reach of an engine, a supply might be obtained (so as to be always ready in case of fire) by sinking a tank or re servoir, in the ground outside of mansions, public buildings, &c., to receive the water from the roof, which would insure a supply in case of emergency, als ) for domestic purposes. Thus, with additional hose of a sufficient length, water may be con veyed to any part of a mansion in a few minutes. Engines adapted for the above, likewise for all Horticultural Purposes, may be seen and proved at the Patentee's, 35 Regent-circus, Piccadilly. Working Models may be seen at the Polytechnic Institution, Regent-street.

GORI.—The ing idea of this tale (observes a Contemporary), is excellent, and is worked out with much elevernesi, and to a most amusing result. A young Marquis of the time of Louis XV., is en dowed with such resistless powers of " Fascination," both men tal and physical, that tradesmen insist on his getting into debt whether he will or no; money-lenders force him to borrow of them ; the lawyers are " too happy" to carry on his suits at their own cost ; and the women insist. on marrying him. At the outset of the story we find him penniless and friendless, till at last, on a great lady offering to marry him, he declines the honour till he has made himself in some sort worthy of it, by " fascinatinr , " three Aulic Councillors, on whom the deci sion of a great raw-suit depends, to give it in his favour against their honours, their consciences, and their interests! And such is the versatility of his gifts and accomplishments, that, by adopting fur the nonce the respective characters and qualities of each, he gains his end with all. This capital story brings before us an unprecedented variety of lively, amusinz, and cha racteristic scenes. The villa , e of Servieres, in the Puy-dc-Dome, was, on the ith instant, visited by an awful avalanche, which fell from the mountains above it to the extent of more than 600 yards in breadth. Of 210 sheep, the united flocks of the in habitants, which were returning home for the night, only 12 escaped alive. The shepherd was beaten down into the valley, but, fortunately, was not so overwhelmed by the snow as to prevent him from extricating himself. Four houses were buried several yards deep; but the inhabitants, after suf fernier almost all the horrors of death, were, by the united exertions of their neighbours, and the people from the sur roundirg villaffes released from what they exp ec t e d wou l d be their tombs. After three days' successive labour, many of the sheep remained undiscovered. The snow, which has for nearly two months co vered the mountains in the environs of Algiers, has compelled the lions to descend to the plains. At Kaddona, an European havin g fired at one of there animal s an d m i ssed him, the lion, instead of attacking the European, sprang upon two Arabs who were near him, and wounded them severely. Between Cape Matifoux and the Hamise, in the thick covers which border the coast; the lions have taken refuge in such numbers that the Arabs of Iladjera have been compelled to withdraw. A grand lion hunt is getting up, but the inexperience of the Eu:opeans in such matters leads to the apprehension of serious accidente. COUNTRY CORN MARKETS. Wheat. Barley. Oats. IScans.

CURTIS AND CO.'S POWDER Mitts.— Scarcely had the excitement occasioned throughout the neighbourhood of Hounslow by the late melancholy occurrence began to subside, before we have to announce two other explosions on the works of Messrs. Curtis and Harvey, which have, how. ever, most providentially been unattended by fatal consequences. The first took place in the afternoon of Saturday last, about twenty minutes to three o'clock, in a powder-room near to the scene of the previous explosion. Two men named John Irish, about 2'2 years of age, and Win. Fox, about the same age, in the service of Messrs. Curtis and Co., were sent in to sweep it up, and while so en. by gaged, from some cause at present unexplained, except that they neglected first to damp the floor, the loose powder exploded , the force of which the windows of the building were broken and the men injured. The second explosion took place on Monday morn. ing, about half.past eight o'clock, when the Inhabitants of the country round, for a radius of forte or five indrs, were al.qm et i b y a loud report, which on inquiry was found to have occurrt‘l at other works belonging to the same firm, situated at Hatton, near Bei. font, about four miles from Hounslow, by which the roof of a green charged mill was, it is sated, blown eft; but without any person being Lillist or injured. CROWN COURT. Mr. Baron GURNEY took his seat on the Bench, and after he had addressed the Grand Jury, The Officer of the Court stated to his Lordship that a witness who was about to go before the Grand Jury refused to be sworn. Baron GURNEY ordered him to get into the witness-box, and he then asked him why he refused to be sworn? The witness, who wore a smock-frock, and had the appear ance of a countryman, made no answer, and although the ques tion was repeated three times, he still refused to reply to it. Baron GURNEY ordered him to be committed, and he was accordingly taken into custody. Soon afterwards, the COURT was inf firmed that another wit • ness, a woman named Elizabeth Kimpton, also refused to take the necessary oaths. Baron GURNEY, addressing the prisoner, told her that she was required by the law to appear and give her evidence. He wished to know, therefore, why she refused to be sworn ? Wit ness—lt is said in Scripture that we are not to swear, either by the Heaven above, or by the earth beneath. Baron GURNEY—That means you are not to swear idly, but it does not require you to refuse to be sworn in a Cour tof Jus tice. Witness—l will not take any oath at all. Baron GURNEY—Do you believe in any particular religious sect that is exempted by law from takin* , an oath? Witness —I worship God in spirit and in truth. r belong to the Church of England. Baron GURNEY—I call upon you to take the ()Ali. Witness —I will not. Baron GURNEY—Then you stand committed. Jiibez Rainbow, alias Kirk, aged 18, a soldier, was capitally indicted for cuttin g and woundin g . Jane Pearse with intent to murder her. In two other counts the prisoner's intent was laid to maim and disfigure the prosecutrix, or to do her some griev us bodily harm. Mr. Lydekker conducted the prosecution, Mr. C. Jones de-. fended the prisoner. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner, who is a native of Coventry, had enlisted into the 34th Regiment of Foot, and had been stationed at St. Alban's as part. of a recruiting com pany, and he there formed a connexion with the prosecutrix, who was a female of loose character, and they cohabited t ge ther for several months. On the night of Sunday, the 3e of Oct., the prisoner and the l'rjsecutrix, apparently on good terms with each other, went to the Boot public-house at St. Alban's, where they enga'ged a bed, and in the morning, about ten o'clock, the prisoner called for some ginger-beer and porter, and he and the prosecutrix drank it. The latter soon afterwards fell asleep. It a very short time the prisoner was heard to call out " Murder, murder, come to me, call for the police, and give me into custody ;" and upon the landlord going into the room, he found the prosecutrix lying insensible on the bed, with her throat cut, and the prisoner standing in the middle of the room without his clothes, and covered with blood. On his being questioned, he said, " I did it ; I cut her throat," and then quietly resigned himself to the custody of the policeman who had been called in. From the evidence of the girl Pearse,` it appeared that she was awoke by feeling a sensation of suffocation, and, on putting her hand up to her throat, according to her own statement, "it sank into it ;" and she then saw the prisoner with a razor, in the act of cutting her throat. She struggled with him until she became insensible, and this was all she could say upon the subject. The surgeon proved that the wound on the throat was six inches long, and half an inch deep • it severed the windpipe and th e musc l es o f t h e neck. He also said that there were fourteen other cuts upon different parts of the per son of the prosecutrix ; and one of them, which severed the tendons of the right hand, was not yet cured. The most ex traordinary part of the story was that there appeared an entire absence ot motive on the part of the prisoner for the desperate act he had committed, the girl herself admitting that up to that time he had always been very kind to her ; and that on the day the affair took place, there had nut been the slightest quarrel between them. Mr. C. JONES addressed the Jury, and urged them strongly to release the prisoner from the capital part of the charge, contending that the offence must have been committed by him while lan was labouring under a paroxysm of temporary madness. The Jury found the prisoner guilty upon the third count, and Mr. Baron Gurney ordered him to be transported for fifteen years. • William Morgan, 59, was capitally indicted for cutting and wounding Joh n l' ar k s , w i t h i ntent to murder him. ,eait and d ap n e t a h re e d 2, t i l t i h at o t f li N e o p ‘ r .e i . s m on b e e r r, w u a p s on th s e o mtheetprirfloisneg c u t l o n e t s h u i s n e er e altercation between them, the prisoner drew a carving-knife froM the breast ot his coat and male several stabs with it at the prosecutor, and one of the thrusts wounded him in the arm, but not severely. It transpired in the course of the evidence that the prisoner, at a former period of his life, had been con fined in a lunatic asylum, arid he had recently conducted him self in such an extraordinary mariner on several occasions, that there was every reason to believe that he was nut of sane mind. The Jury, therefore, acquitted hint on the ground of his being insane at. the time he committed the offence, and he was ordered to be detained in safe custody until her Majesty's plea sure respecting him should be made known.

He fired, and the shot pierced the plaintiff's face. It was for the injury done to his person the present action was brought, an injury as unprovoked as it was unlawful.
