INSURRECTION AT BARCELONA. We extract the following :accounts of this deplo rable event, from the Barcelona journals of the 17th and 18th instant : The Con.vtitucional, which had been obliged to sus pend its publication, or publish a flying leaf, on the 15th and 18th, excuses itself towards its suscribers by stating that most of the printers, belonging to the National Guard, had responded to . the appeal made to tbefn by their chiefs, and had remained under arms since five o'clock in the afternoon of the 14th. In its number of the 15th, it says that the disorders which broke out in the night of the 13th had riot at first an alarming aspect, and that it was with great astonish ment .they found, on the next morning, the utmost agitation pervaded the city. During the whole night, individuals•who had long laboured to disturb tran quillity, industriously spread false reports, for the purpose of indisposing the soldiers against the people. The tumult originated at the Gate del Angel, in a dispute between a peasant and a port officer, and the bystanders having sided with the former, the armed force was obliged to interfere. One of the military having ill-treated a woman, the agitators availed themselves of this circumstance to excite the multi tude against the troops, and a collision immediately ensued. A soldier who sought refuge in the quer ters of the sth battalion of the National Guards, was claimed by the revolters, but the officers on duty re fused to deliver him into their hands. Bands of people traversed the streets during the night; the most sidister reports got into circulation ; shots were fired in .the vicinity of the old prison for the mere sake of creating confusion ; and a number of officers of the army were stopped in the streets by a party of young men, who brought them prisoners to the quarters of the 3d Battalion of Militia. Early in the morninz of the 14th several writers of the &pub ileun journal were arrested. The remainder of that day was employed in erecting barricades, and the confusion was such that the editor of the Constitucional declares that he could not ascertain whether the pre parations in progress were intended to support or oppose the authorities. Several houses were fortified by the National Guard ; and stones and flower-pots were placed in the windows and balconies to be thrown on the troops. , In the meantime, the Political Chief, the Captain- General Antonio Van Helen, Generals Zurbano and Zabala, having met, summoned before them the Com mander of the National Guards and the Municipal authorities, to communicate to them a proclamation, about - to 'be issued by the former functionary, and to know from them if they could rely on the co-opera- - tion of their respective corps for the re .establishment of order, as, otherwise, martial law should be imme diately proclaimed. Our readers are.already acquainted with the occur rences of the 15th, and the ultimate retreat of the 'garrison. At seven o'clock on that day the firing had ceased, the prisoners had been liberated, a popular junta had been installed, and, according to the Inzpar; cial, " all the - Barcelonese were unanimous, without any distinction of party, and union really prevailed , among them." The soldiers, who had capitulated at the Atarazanas, and in the building of the University, fraternised with the patriots, and it was expected that the garrison of Menjuich would follow their example OD t he 19th. The daughters of General Van Helen, and the wife of General Male, who had been detained with Bri gadier Chacon by some National Guards' of Barcelo= neta, just as they were embarking, had been claimed by the French Consul and placed under his protection. On the 17th the Provincial Junta published a pro clamation, in which they invited the Catalonians to form a close union with all Spaniards who sincerely loved liberty, and had at heart the welfare of their country, and who hated the tyranny and perfidy of a Government which had brought the nation to its pre sent state of ruin and degradation, without any dis tinction between the political parties composing the great liberal communion. They proclaimed the inde pendence of Catalonia from Madrid until the re-esta blishment of a just, protecting, free and independent Government, which would grant a frank and just pro . tection to Spanish industry, Commerce, agriculture, and to all the industrious and productive classes of the population. The Junta next_ proceeded to state, that with a view to attain those desirable objects, they felt it ne cessary to surround themselves with men of intelli gence and standing, and that it would immediately appoint a consulting Junta, whose names should be published on that day. They then called on the valiant Catalonians to unite in bonds of brotherhood with all free Spaniards and informed them that the troops of the army who remained in that capital had espoused their cause,- which they trusted would be soon embraced likewise by the whole nation. The Imparcial, of Barcelona, of the 17th, says : . " The imprudence of the Government ; and of some of its agents, in continuing to provoke a whole people, was the only cause of the untoward events whiclewe have to deplore. The day before yesterday tlfe heads of the -National Guard demanded from the Political Chief that the citizens whom he had arrested arbi trarily, some because they were editors of the Re publicww, should be conducted to a place of surety and tried before the proper tribunals. The authority was deaf to-their prayers, displayed unnecessarily an imposing parade of forces, and ordered the drummers of the National Guard to be arrested when beating to arms, without even inquiring whether they were authorised by the municipal authority. Many soldiers were seen to shed tears at finding themselves obliged to fight against their fellow-citizens. "5 in the Evening.-,-.-The crisis continues, the can nonade resounds, bombs are.bursting in the air, and we are forced to suspend our account, being natu rally in the utmost anxiety at beholding the struggle become so desperate as to convert this fine city into a heap of ruins. • "Half-past 7 o'clock in the Evening.—The firing has ceased, because an assault, it is said, is in prepara tion against the citadel. The fort of Montjuich, where General Zurbano happens to be, has begun to fire its cannon. on the city. The prisoners have been set at liberty, and have received arms. All the inha bitants of Barcelona, without distinction of party, are unanimous; union really prevails ; the streets are illu minated ; the inhabitants are full of daring. It ap pears that another Junta is about to be appointed with a consultative character" The linparcial of the 18th adds : " The troops of the quarter of the artillery and the fort of Atarazanas have capitulated honourably : hlontjnich alone b o ll s out. Generals Zurbano and Van Helen are at Sarria, and manifest a desire to enter Montjuich, with the intention of attacking th e city. The Junta, however, has adopted energetic measures. We learn from Gerona, November 16, that General Aristizabal had left that pl ace, an d that, with a few battalions, which are to join bins on the route, he will form a junction with General Van Haien. It appears that the provisional and directing Junta, on learning that General Van Helen was pre paring to bombard the city from the fort of Mont juich, assembled with the provincial Deputation and the French and British Consuls, and came to an un derstanding for the prevention of so horrible a catas trophe. A deputation had been sent to General Van Haden, composed of the Consuls, a member of the Provincial Deputation, and . one of the Junta. To morrow we shall be able to communicate the result. " P.S.—General Van Haden, with the troops under his command at Sarria and its environs, has com menced his march for St. Felice de Llobregat. Our city is tranquil. We hear no other noise than the All's well of the sentinels." • The following proclamation was published on the 17. th " cataloelans !—The persons forming the Junta, hitherto provisional, placed at your head, are anxious to retire into the bosom of their families, now that the danger is over. But the general cry is against this step, and obliges them to constitute themselves into a Central Junta of Government, which will assume all the Power, and will direct its energies towards the population of the province of Catalonia, in submitting them to the following conditions ' being always ready to retire itt the sli g ht est indication from the people:— " 1. Union awl pure nationality among all free Catalonians and. all Spaniards sincerely desirous of liberty, of the po s iti ve welfare and honour otlourof their country, and who hat e th e tyranny and perfidy of the power that has reduced the nation to such a deplore ble, ruinous, and - degradi ng state, without admitting amongst us any distinction of political colour or party , and regarding only the great co mmun i ty o f l ib eral Spaip. " 1 The independence of Catalonia, with respect for the Court, until there shall be established a just, protecting, and - tree . Government, with nationality. honour, and intelligence; by uniting ourselves closely with all the people of the provinces of Spain w h - , know how to proclaim and obtain this independ ence, by imitating our heroic example. "3. As the natural consequences of the preceding bases, frank and just protection of Spa iish industry, consnwrce, agriculture, the productive classed, order in the Governinent, justice for all, without distinction of (.lass or category , i n t egr ity an d justice, in order t o justify in the eyes ()fall Europe the purity of your in tentions, the nationality and grandeur oP the senti ments which animate you, and give you zeal for the aecomplishineet of this difficult task, which is worthy of a free and laborious people, as valiant as intrepid awl invincible, tl3 - generous a s 'honourable. Such are the general bases on which repose the most ardent de sires of the great people of Catalonia. " To accomplish this object the Junta, being desirous of surrounding it with enlightened men, will imme diately appoint another aux ili ary and consulting junta, the names of whose members will be published. The Provisional Junta is convinced that it is the faithful organ of your sentiments, and is con fid ent, that with the active co-operation of all persons who, without distinction of political colour, are able to assist and second it from 'this moment a itavill be able to accom plish.the grand, enterprise which it has ,commenced with a glory which can never be dimmed by malevo- lence or imp3sture, while facts speak for themselves, t and your conduct is your justification in the eyes of free nations, although in the honourable triumph - which you have gained, it is lamentable.to think that the precious blood of valiant Spaniards has been shed, through the conduct of an abominable and imbecile Government, or rather through the want of Government, which has incurred public execration. Union, valiant Catalonians, fraternal union ! The troops who remain in the capital embrace our cause. Let us regard them as brothers. Let there be an entire oblivion of the past, and confidence in the happy issue of your holy cause—the cause of the people and of the entire nation, which will not delay to follow your example, by imitating your striking valour. " Dated Barcelona, Nov. 17, and signed by the members of the Junta." The National observes, that "the nature of the insurrection at Barcelona is precisely marked out in the details published by ' the Messager, and particu larly in the proclamation of the Directoral Junta. This proclamation confirms what we have already stated. An incident caused the disturbance, and the imprudence of the Political Chief developed it, and amongst the causes which excited the courage of the inhabitants, must be added the ferocious proceeding of Zurbano, who in the midst of the disturbances, promised the troops the plunder of the street occupied by the goldsmiths of Barcelona. The exasperation of the inhabitants then became irresistible. The troops fought courageously, but the issue of the battle was inevitable, and a city containing 180,000 souls, cannot be subdued when the inhabitants are driven to despair. " Unless some new complication should occur, we have no doubt but Espartero will triumph over the city of Barcelona. We must, however, add, that, in cur opinion, on this occasion, moderation would be more efficacious than force. If, instead of consolida ting public order by prudence and by a just apprecia tion of the facts, the Government should create a re action, the peace will be but precarious, and . we may expect new calamities. "We are happy to learn that M. Olozaga and his friends are determined to accept office. The more difficult the period, the more those persons are bound not to retreat from the danger. It is very probable that the re-construction of the Cabinet will be the best means of re-establishing order in Barcelona; and we trust that there will not be any necessity for fight ing another battle, and again shedding blood in the streets of this city, which is both wealthy and indus trious, and devoted to the success of the revolution which originated within its walls." FRAUDS IN THE COFFEE TRADE. Friday a meeting of those interested in the co lonial and foreign coffee trade was held at the Com. menial Sale-rooms, Mincing-lane, for the purpose of receiving a Report from the Committee appointed to consider the best means to be adopted to redress se rious grievances to which the trade has for a long period been subjected. The Chair was taken by Mr. Ed wards. The CHAIRMAN said that the Committee had had interviews with the Directors of the principal docks, who had promised every assistance in remedying the evil complained of. He moved that the Report of the Committee be read. The Hon. SECRETARY then read the following Re- port : " That in pursuance of the desire of the trade, they have solicited and obtained interviews with the Directors of the East and West India, the London, and the St. Katherine Dock Companies, and have laid before them statements of the losses constantly sus tained, in consequence of the delivery weights of coffee being seriously short of the landing weights, on which payments are made both for coffee and duty. They have also drawn the attention of the several Directors to the great discrepancies which are shown in the delivery weights, and have ventured to express doubts as to whether such discrepancies can be solely the effect of natural causes. " That the Directors of the several Dock Compa nies have declared their readiness to act in any maniier which may be suggested, in order to prevent such losses, and to exercise the greatest care and vigilance, so that deficiencies may not be the result of want of attention, or any other cause' which such care and vigilance may prevent. " That not any of the Directors seem, however, to subscribe to the opinion that any other cause but that of absorption by atmospheric influence has operated to produce the losses complained of. "That notwithstanding this conviction on the part of the Directors, the Committee cannot but retain their former opinion, that many cases show discre pancies quite irreconcileable with such conclusion, and also that the business of weighing and taring packages on landing is frequently carried through so hastily as not to insure proper security to the buyers; and that many coffees are landed in packages not suf ficiently strong to bear farther transit, and which the Directors of the Dock Companies state that they have no power to alter, but with the sanction of the im porters, which, as entailing expense, is generally withheld. "Alfa that the fact of the trade being called on to pay duty on what does not exist is unjust and unrea sonable, and the. Committee feel assured that on a pro per representation being made to the Government, this grievance will speedily be remedied, Coffee being one of the articles named in the Customs Act as subject to some deficiency from natural causes, and being kept in the custody of their officers in warehouses of spe cial security. " The Committee, therefore, suggest that a meet ing of the trade be held, to take into consideration the necessity of memoralising the Government on the present mode of paying duty on coffee, and to devise any other means which may be considered likely to prevent loss to the parties on whose account clearances are made ; for which purpose the Committee propose that a general meeting of the trade be held at the Commercial Sale Rooms, Mincing-lane, .on Friday next, the 25th instant, at twelve for one o'clock pre cisely. " EDWARD EDWARDS, Chairman: " JAMES C. QUICK, Hon. Sec.' "21st Nov. 1842." Mr. MOFFAT rose to move a resolution that the Report be adopted. He expected no redress from the Doak Companies, and thought that Government ought to be applied to, in order that the trade should not be charged on the landing weights. Recently, in a par cel of five bales of .Mocha coffee, there was a loss of 53 lbs. One bale was deficient, in another purchase he had made, of 27 lbs. Mr. CHENERY and other parties spoke of great defi ciencies, that could not arise from natural causes. The Report was adopted. Mr. CONDOR had been thirty years in the trade, and in the last two or three years the decrease in the weight of bales of coffee had augmented. He moved a resolution in favour of applying to the First Lord of the Treasury against the levying of the duty on coffee at the landing weight. The resolution was carried, and the Committee was strengthened by severa l part i es o f i n fl uence i n th e trade, to give weight to the representation to the Government. The thanks of the meeting were given to the Com mittee, and the meeting adjourned. RAILWAY RETURNS.

The rich fund of. naval and other anecdote it displays, the unmistakeable por traits, the capital scenes from all grades and circum stances of naval life, and the tales of strong and stir ring interest, which form the staple portion of all these features promise to insure for it an unusual degree of popularity. Its author, Mr. M. 11. Barker - universally known to the reading world as " The Old Sailor"—is awing the mo s t witty and humorous of our naval writers ; and he has never shown himself more so than " The Naval Club." SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. GLOBE.—The simultaneous attainment of the objects for which hostilities had been directed against China and Caubul, and the restoration of peace with those countries, together with a payment of four mil lions and a half -sterling to Great Britain by the former Power, constitute a change so gratifying in our relations, and secure so large a sum to the reve nue, that Sir Robert Peel is bound, by his own ad missions and engagements, to take the earliest oppor tunity after:the meeting of Parliament, to announce his intention of moving for the repeal of the Income tax at the close of the first year of its operation—if, indeed, the gratifying announcement be not made a distinct communication in the Royal Speech at the opening of the session. To prove that the expense of the Chinese expedition, and the probable protracted duration of the war, formed the main ground on which the levying of a tax on income was made to rest, it is only necessary to quote Sir Robert Peel's own state ment ; it is, indeed, well worthy of attention Estimated expenditure to April 5, 1843 " Estimated income... ..... 48,350;000 " Leaving a deficiency of £2,469,000 " But that deficiency is - on . the votes of the year, for the expenditure to be provided for within the year. To it, therefore, must be added the charges incurred on account of the Chinese war, for which I do not.think it vill be necessary to provide within the year. These charges will amount to about 500,0001. additional, to be added to the expenditure. But he would form an inadequate estimate of the expenses likely to be incurred in the war with China, who would con fidently calculate on their being confined within the limits which I have specified. The expenses of the Chinese expedition stand thus :—the amount due to the East India Company up to the Ist April, 1841, is 708,7.35/. A grant was made in the session of 1840, of 172,442/. This leaves arrears of former rears to be provided for to the amount of 535,313/. The estimate of the expenditure to the Ist April, 1842, is 658,3791.; making the total charge to April, 1842, nearly 1,193,6921. There is to be applied to this charge a grant of Parliament made in 1841, amounting to 400,000/., and money from the ransom of Canton, amounting to 618,4301. You have, therefore, to settle for the cost of 1841 thus :—Against the charge of 1,193,692/., there is to be put an" actual payment of 1,016,430/., and the arrears now amount to 175,26.2/. If the House look to the expenses:of the preparation which has been made for Chinese warfare, I do not think that it can estimate that the expenses which may be incurred for the year to the sth of April, 1843, for that purpose, can amount to less than 1,400,0001. or 1,500,000/. But take the ultimate cost of the Chinese expedition at 1,200,0001., an estimate as low as can be taken, there will be a deficiency some time to be provided for of 700,0001. Therefore, to my es timated deficiency of 2,570,0001., you must not lose sight of a probable demand of 700,000/. or 800,000/." Sir Robert Peel's estimated annual account -from the Income-tax was as follows : " Schedule A Schedule B .. 150,000 Schedule C... Schedule D Schedule E . 155,000 £3,771,000" This estimate is generally admitted to be far below what the tax will realise. We have heard, in quarters likely to be well informed, a million added to this estimate. Take, however, the amount at 4,000,0001., which add to the 4,500,0001. to be paid by China and an aggregate of eight millions and a-half is exhibited—an amount beyond the deficiency for which Sir Robert Peel deplored the necessity which his public duty laid upon him to provide for, by means of a tax which nothing but dire necessity would have induced him to propose ; and which, if there be truth in him, or he be desirous of keeping up its counterfeit, in the absence of the original, he will hasten to relieve the nation from the exactions and annoyances of this iniquitous and insulting engine of State. The nation must, however, be prepared to do its duty; lest Sir Robert Peel should take encouragement from its sup posed indifference to prolong the existence of the measure, after the necessity which he pleaded as his justification for its introduction has passed away. STANDARD.—What was the plan of the late Whig Government with regard to the Chinese war, if indeed they had any plan, must remain a secret. What was not their plan we, however, know; and that the plan of the late campaign was not theirs is plain from the fact that having, for successive years, the very same opportunity of executing it enjoyed by Sir R. Peel, they did not resort to this plan, but to other plans inconsistent with it—the reduction of Canton, for one example out of many. That the present Government continued the naval and mili tary officers whom they found in command we 'admit, and the country has reason to be grateful for their, in this respect, departing from the practice of their predecessors in office, who never thought of the public service when an opponent was to be injured and insulted, or a dependent provided for. Sir Robert Peel continued Sir Hugh Gough and Sir William Parker, because he was resolved to give the country the benefit of their experience, be cause he had proof of their skill and gallantry ; and if more than these were wanting to determine him, he had had evidence of their judgment and energy in the remonstrances they had made against the folly and vacillation of their Whig superior at the commence ment of the military operations. Happily the opportu nity did not offer to ascertain whether, after the notice of Captain Elliot, these gallant men would have been continued in command by the Whig Minis ters. Sir Henry Pottinger, too, was properly con tinued as an untried man, and upon the spot, b e c ause his functions are in fact purely Ministerial, he is merely the organ of the Home. Government, to communicate its will—and doubtless he has received orders that when called upon to act upon any emergency not provided for in his instructions, he shall consult the military and naval commanders, instead of brow-beating and thwarting them like his Whig predecessors. The forces, too, are the same. No doubt, the personelle of a British army seldom needs to be changed : you can hardly' im prove by change upon the discipline, zeal, and gallantry of any British force. But though the men are the same—though their bravery, disci pline, and zeal are unchangeable, and, therefore, un improvable ; still there is something in the dif ference between despair and hope. British men will not move less resolutely ',under the influence of the former than of the latter feeling, but they will move with less of that spirit of energetic en terprise which is the assurance of victory. The force under Sir H. Gough and Admiral Parker would certainly be more efficient, expecting to return in triumph from a glorious campaign, than contemplating the certainty that their bones must whiten the Chinese soil, as the bones of their brethren still supply, in the deserts of Affghanistan, the monuments of Whig folly or cowardice. The probable result, perhaps the probable reward, of his exertions, makes a difference in the spirit of the bravest and the best man. And thus it is that the bare faot of a wise and just Minister succeeding one of an op posite character has greatly augmented the efficiency of the force in China. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

IGNITION OF COAL FROM FIRE 7 DAMP.—OR Tues day last a miner, in the coal-pit of John Fitzgerald, Esq., at Pendleton, having lost or mislaid an axe, very imprudently went in search or it in a part of the pit not at present worked, taking with. hi:n a naked candle. There having been shone accumulation of carburetted hydrogen gafi, iu this part of the pit, the introduction of the lighted tandle exploded it, burn ing the man and another individual, though, we believe, not very severely • and a valuable horse, which was near that part of the .pit, was suffocated by what. is termed the choke damp (carbonic acid gas), generated under such circumstances. The ex plosion of the inflammable gas was followed by another consequence—the ignition of tha coal in that part of the pit ; and we understand that it continued c burning on th a t an d th e two following days, and for anything*we know to the contrary, may be still on fire.

COURT OF QUEE.A'S BENCH. Nov. 26. (Sittings in Banco after Term.) THE QUEEN V. KENRICK AND ANOTHER. This was an indictment against the two defendants, father and son, for a conspiracy to defraud. While the proceedings against them were going on, and be fore the day of trial, the younger Kenrick died. The elder Kenrick was tried alone, and convicted. Mr. BYLES had obtained a rule nisi in arrest of judgment, on the ground that the indictrmnt was bad, on the grotind of its being too general, and on the ground of a mis-statement ; because if two parties were indicted for a conspiracy, and one was acquitted, the other could not be convicted. In this case one of the defendants had died before the trial, and therefore it. was contended that the other could not be convicted. Mr. DIESIGER this morning argued at great length against the rule, and Mr. ERLE in support of it. Lord DENMAN said the matter was one of very great importance, and that, therefore, the Court would take time-to consider its judgment. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 26. BROWN v. SHEARSLET. This was an action of trover, brought on rather novel grounds, namely, to recover the amount of the value of a dead horse. It appeared that the plaintiff is a cab-driver, and the defendant the keeper of a livery-stable in Somers town. In the month of June last, an accident hap pened to a horse of the plaintiff, and the defendant gave him leave to remove it to his stables. The horse died on a Sunday; and on the following day the de fendant refused to allow it to be sold, unless he was paid some rent, which he claimed of the plaintiff. It seemed that the horse was then detained in the stable until it became of no value. A knacker, who was produced as a witness on the part of the plaintiff, stated that he had offered 50s. for the horse on the Saturday before it died, and it would have been worth as much if sold immediately after it had been killed ; hut, after a day or two, it would be worth nothing. This witness was understood to ad mit, amidst the laughter of the Court, that the price of horse-flesh had risen since the passing of the new tariff, since the introduction of American pork. Witness.—lf the horse had been pickled after it died it would have been of more value.--(Laughter.) Tl.e Jurx r returned a verdict for the plaintiff, in the sum of five shillings, but the Court refused to certify in his favour for the amount of his law expenses. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 26. IN RE JOHN WALKER. The insolvent in this case was opposed by Mr. Cooke, for Messrs. Flint and Taylor. It appeared that the attorney for the opposing creditors had brought an action against the insolvent to recover 331., to which he pleaded, and the matter went to trial ; but a mistake having been made in the service of the writ, a rule for a new trial was obtained, and the insolvent also defended it, whereby costs were accumulated to the amount of 701. 16s. In his examination by the Learned Commissioner, the insolvent admitted that he had omitted from his schedule twenty-three debts, which he had assigned over to a creditor named Todd, as security. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS ordered the case to be adjourned to complete the sch!dule, which was now very imperfect. He thought he could not entertain the question of vexatious defence, after so many mis takes had been committed on all sides. The insolvent was then removed in custody. IN RE JOHN MALLINGS. The insolvent was opposed on the part of Mr. Loder, who became one of the joint securities for him to the Scottish Widows' Association in the sum of 3001., the other bail having become insolvent, and he (Mr. Loder) being, therefore, liable for the whole amount. Mr. Loder having applied to the insolvent, who was then residing at Uxbridge, was informed that his pro perty had been made over to a person named Grange, and also found out that some of the creditors had been, under this arrangement, paid ss. in the pound. 681. had been paid into Court. Mr. Commissioner HArials ordered that the sche dule should be amended by adding the names of of those who had already received the dividend of 55., who, of course, would be the last, as in bankruptcy, to get a share in the further dividend. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 28, 1842 IN RE STEPHEN GEARET. The insolvent app lied to be liberated on bail. H e was the patentee of a certain invention for improving locomotives on railroads and for steam-packets; the patent right in which was lodged in Court with the official assignee for the benefit of his estate, which he alleged would be able to pay 20s. in the pound, if he could realise the profits from the different companies with which he stated himself to be connected. Bail was allowed to justify in the sum of 7001., and the insolvent was liberated. STAINES PETTY SESSIONS. Mr. John Yeldharn, a highly respectable grocer, who is also a wholesale wine and spirit merchant, residing in this town, appeared on Saturday before Sir John Gibbon, Bart. (Chairman), Colonel Wood, M.P., and C. Devon and G. Patterson, Esqs4the sitting Magis trates, to answer informations at the instance of the Excise, charging that he, not being duly licensed to do so, did sell wines and spirits by retail, whereby he had incurred two penalties of 501. each. The case excited great interest amongst the inhabitants of Staines, and the Magistrates'-room was much crowded. Thomas Hughes deposed that he lived in the Hack ney-road, London, and was a Supervisor of Excise. On the 24th of September last, he went with two fe males, who, he believed were personally known to the defendant, to Mr. Yeldham's shop, and asked if he could have a bottle of gin. The defendant said he had not a license to sell a quantity under two gallons, but eventually said if he did let him have it, it must be considered in the light of a sample bottle. Witness told him he might call it what he liked, but he wanted a bottle of gin, upon which the defendant took an empty bottle, which one of the women had brought with her, and went to another room and filled it. Wit• ness then asked if he would let him have a bottle of wine. The defendant said he had not yet got his wine license, although he had applied for it, and if he did so that must also be considered as a sample bottle. Wit ness then paid the defendant 2s. for the gin, 3s. for a bottle of Sherry, and 3s. 6d. for a bottle of Port. Mr. Yeldham w ; in answer to the charge, declared that he had been entrapped into the commission of the offence by the very supervisor who had given evi dence against him. He then proceeded at some length to detail the circumstances under which the sale took place, alleging that one of the females who accompa nied the witness Hughes was a woman named Payne, the wife of the conductor of the Staines omnibus, who was a frequent purchaser of groceries at his shop; that on the night in question, which was a Saturday night, she came, accompanied by Hughes and a woman, and having purchased grocery as usual, she stated that they ,had formed a fishing party for the next day, and, as they would not be able to get anything the next morning, owing fo all the publ;c-houses being closed, she would esteem it a favour if he would be so kind as to let them have a bottle of gin. He told them that he had no retail license, as the witness Hughes had stated; but they begged and prayed of him to oblige them, saying his gin was better than any other they could get elsewhere, and he was induced to let them have a bottle. They then recollected that as some of them would be ladies, they should require some wine; and he was induced to let them have two bottles, at the same price at which it had been charged to him. Mr. Hughes then seeing that he, defendant, also dealt in ale and stout, became very thirsty, and begged him to sell him a pint of ale. Defendant, however, gave them a glass each, foi which Hughes - pressed him to take the money, but he fortunately refused to do so, or he supposed he should have a third information against him. These, he declared, were the real facts of the case ; and he submitted that if he had erred, it was an error of judgment, and not with an intention to defraud the revenue. The witness Hughes having admitted that the de fendant's statement as to the ale was correct, The CIIAIRMAN, in strong terms, deprecated the conduct of t h e superv i sor , and expressed hi s u tt er detestation The BaNcn having c onferred together, expressed of such a system of entrapping; and their reg re t that an o ffence having been legally com mitted against the Excise-laws, they were bound to convict Air. Yeldhatn. They would, however, miti gate the p ena l ty to the l owes t moiety, viz. 25/., an d would, on e and all, suppor t any memorial the defen dant might address to the Commissioners of Excise, for a t o t a l remission of t h e pena lt y ; an d wou ld ta k e care that a should b e l a i d before the E xc i se B oar d. circumstantial account of the transaction • QUEEN'S PRISON.—On Saturday the workmen were in full operation making the alterations in this prison, under the sanction of the Secretary of State. ['here are to be three divisions for the classification of the prisoners, and the part where the females are to be separately kept is being prepared. The place allotted for thorn is at the end of the prison, where the public house called «The Brace" stood, adjoining the kitchen in the marketplace. A high wall at the end of the racket -ground is being built, and a gate is to be fixed at the entrance. The next portion to be converted will be for the confinement of persons remanded by the Insolvent Debtors' Court, and for those who re fuse, after a vesting order, to file their schedules. Phis will be a place of punishment, surrounded by iron bars. The coffee-house is to be pulled down, and other alterations effected. The middle of the prison will be set apart for the other inmates, and it is.said to be in contemplation to build wards on the racket-ground similar to those in Whitecross-Street prison. Th e woiks now in progress were comtneneed on Monday last, and were expected to be completed in thr ee wee k s, so t h a t th e c l ass ifi ca ti on may he shortly' expected. Th e alterations are c ommenced under a .reeent Act of Parliament. There are at the present period about 300 prisoners, including the re movals from the Fleet and Marshalsea .prisons„ POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SAT URD AY.) MANSION- HOUSE. Peter Adamson, a person of very respectable ap pearance and address, who has undergone several examinations upon the charge of having obtained 2001. from a young man named John Heron, on the pretence that he (Adamson) had received an ap pointment from Government in Port Philip, as Emi gration Agent, of considerable profit, in which the prosecutor was to participate, was brought up for the purpose of being committed for trial. • Mr. Munday, of the Colonial-office, who was in attepdance, produced all the correspondence which had passed at that office on the subject of the de fendant's application, and stated that the defendant had received no appointment. The letters produced were written by several influential persons, soliciting the appointment of Emigration Agent at Port Philip for the defendant, and strongly recommending him as a fit person for the appointment, and other letters, written at the direction of Lord Stanley, informing the defendant that his application had been received, but that no official information had been received of the vacancy, and there were already several other candidates for appointments of the same sort on Lord Stanley's list. The_LORD MA.you said the case was certainly a very suspicious one ; the prosecutor swore that he was induced to part with his money by the represen tations of the defendant that he had'an appointment which never had been made, and, under all the cir cumstances, he considered it to be his duty to send the case for trial. Ml' POLICE COMMITTEE. Mr. Farrow, landlord of the Three 'runs Tavern, in Fetter-lane, Fleet-street, appeared before the sit ting Ma g istrate, Mr. Alderman Gibb s , t o answer a charge rought by Mr. Fosbery, an Inspector of the City police, for unlawfully and knowingly permitting persons of notoriously bad character, common prosti tutes, and thieves, to meet together in his house on Tuesday morning between the hours of two and three. A solicitor attended for the defence. The complainant, Inspector Fosbery, said, on the morning mentioned in the summons, upon going his round, he saw two females enter the defendant's house, where they were served with gin. • Mr. Alderman Ginps—How do you know that they were supplied with gin ? Witness—l followed them, and saw the barmaid draw the two glasses, for which they paid 41 They entered a door at the back of the premises. The defendant was not present. Police-constable 232, stated he was with Inspector Fosbery at the time, and accompanied him into the public-house. There were several other persons drink ing, some standing in front of the bar, and others in the parlour. Any person could have gained admit tance by knocking at the door. The Inspector said he would not have summoned the defendant but for the women being bad characters, which fact was well-known by Mr. Farrow's servants and the barmaid. Mr. Alderman Gipps—How do you know they are bad characters ? Inspector—They are the worst of prostitutes that walk Fleet-street. I have seen them, and had them repeatedly for robberies. Mr. Alderman GIBBS—Were they doing no more than drinking gin when you entered the house ? In spector—They were not, Sir. Mr. Alder man Gipps—Were they creating any disturbance ? Inspector—None whatever. Mr. Alderman GlBBS—There's no.law to prevent people drinking gin, therefore I must; dismiss the case. I advise, however, Mr. Farrow to be More careful how he conducts his house for the future. A great many complaints have been made by the inhabitants against it. The greater portion of the Magistrate's . time was oc cupied in hearing summonses against omnibus pro prietors and cads, for creeping along the Poultry and Cheapside. There were upwards of fifty cases of con viction. 'Xhe fines enforced were from ss. to 10s., or a week's imprisonment. BOW-STREET. A young girl named Eliza Wilton, who is the terror of every goaler in the metropolis, was brought up charged with wilfully breaking eleven panes of glass in the shop window of Mr. White, of Long-acre. The prisoner's clothes were hanging about her in rags, having been torn in bringing her to the station house. It appeared that she only came out of prison this morning for the same offence with which she was now charged. As soon as she appeared in the dock she took off her boot and aimed it at the Magistrate, but it missed him. The last time she was brought up she aimed an inkstand at the Magistrate. The charge was gone into and fully proved. It appeared that as soon as she came out of prison this morning she went direct to Mr. White's house and committed the offence of which she stood charged. Mr. White. said he was in bodily fear of her ; she was the most desperate woman in London. She said she would do it. Prisoner—And I kept my promise. Mr. TWYFORD—I am afraid she is insane. Prisoner—Oh, stuff! I am as right as you are. Mr. TWYFORD—WeII, then, the only course will be again to send you for two months. Prisoner—Very well, look out when I come out— I'll keep my promise. The prisoner was then removed. Mr. White said she would be sure to return to his house as soon as she came out. She had a spite to him, because he once assisted in having her taken into custody. Mr. TWYFORD gave directions for her to be imme diately brought before him if she did, and he would order her to find bail to keep the peace for twelve months, and she would, therefore, be imprisoned for that time. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A young man, who gave the name of William Emus, dressed in the garb of_a chimney-sweep, with his face begrimed as black as soot could possibly make it, and which mode of disguise it appears he had as sumed to prevent his being recognised by the police, was placed at the bar on the following charge : Police sergeant William Russell, No. 113 of the C division, stated that about ten o'clock last night he was on duty in private clothes amongst the crowd at the fire inOxford-street, and saw the prisoner, whom he at first did not recognise, attempt to pick six different persons' pockets ; in the last instance heThad partly drawn a handkerchief from out of a gentleman's pocket, and witness was in the act Of seizing him in the fact when a rush of the crowd separated them ; but in a short tune he saw the prisoner again at the corr.er of Rathbone-place, with his hand in another gentleman's pocket. Witness rushed forward to col lar him, but one of the gang with him called "the dogs are upon you," upon which he stooped dcra n, and attempted to effect his escape, but was prevented, and after a desperate resistance secured. Mr. ILtanwicK asked if the prisoner was known ? Several police constables identified him as a notori ous thief; he was not a chimney sweeper. Sergeantßussell said, that numerous robberies were committed amongst the crowd by pick-pockets, some of them accompanied with personal violence, and to a considerable amount. Thieves from the , East-end, over the water, and other parts of London, were there in great numbers, and the confusion' and rushing of the crowd enabled them to carry on their . depredations nearly with impunity. The prisoner refused to give any account of himself. He was committed for two months to hard labour, for being found in the 4ublic streets with intent to commit felony. The somewhat novel circumstance of a Scotchwo man being charged with begging occurred on Saturday at this Court. The policeman on duty in Hyde Park brought in a neatly dressed woman,.with a very hand some little girl, her daughter, and stated to Mr. Ihrd wick that he had seen them accost passengers in the Park, and ask them for " tickets." • The woman made this statement. She had come all the way from Kilmarnock to gain intelligence of her husband, Patrick Moran, of the Royal Irish, from the War-office. When at Kilmarnock she had writ ten three times to the War-office, asking to know whether her husband was alive or dead. No notice whatever was taken of the poor woman's applications, and she resolved to make her way to , London and ap ply at the War-office in person. She put this plan into execution, and after going through the proper routine, she received a written certificate a short time ago, that her husband was alive in September, and with his regiment at Chusan. She then resolved to send in a petition to the War-office, for a portion of her husband's pay towards the support of his family, but this she could not do until Monday next, and as her means of support had totally failed her, she had gone to the Park to ask for Charitable Fund tickets, but she had been interrupted by the police, and taken into custody. ' Mr. HARDWICK said he could not understand why the woman should come to London for information which could have been sent to her at Kilmarnock. The woman declared she had written three times in vain to the War-office, and this necessity alone had brought her up to London. Mr. HARDWICK said he would give her five shil lings to help her until the fate of her:petitioa at the War-office was known, but if she attempted again to beg, or was brought to the Court for any act of va grancy, he should send her to prison for a month. POLICE SummoNsEs.,--Mr. Crisp, landlord of the White Hart, White Lion-street, and Mr. Holt, land lord of the Yorkshire Grey, White Lion-street, were summoned. by the police for opening their houses during divine service on Sunday. The police said they saw the defendant's houses open about ten minutes or a quarter past four o'clock, at which time divine service was going on at St. Giles's church. It was given in evidence that the - service was over abotit a quarter nr twenty minutes past four. Mr. Crisp declared that he saw the charity children come out of church before he attempted to open his .ho-use. Mr. 1401 t .said be sent to the obigeh, and on being assured the service was over he opened his house. It was the eireum-tance of seeing tEe child: en in the streets that induced both defendantito balievo the service was ended. Mr. HARDWICK said it was very likely such a mis tAe had occured. The law, however, must be obeyed, and hoping this would teach more caution for the future, he should only request them to pay the expenses. CLERKEA WELL Selina Wells, a voting WOlll3ll dres:ed in (lep mourning, was charged under the following singular circumstances:— Mr. John Singleton residing at Berkeley-Pace, Blackfriars-road, stated that on the 19th of June last the prisoner came to his house ; he had been pre viously acquainted with her. She began to talk of the Wizard of the North, Mr. Anderson, who was then playing at the Strand Theatre, and earnestly pressed him and his wife to allow their little son, a boy four years of age, to go with her that night to the theatre. After inueh entreaty they consented. She promised to bring him home on the following, day., Soon after her departure a considerable quan tity of wearing apparel was missed. On the following day happening to go to see a friend of his, mr. Itibshire, a boot and Shoemaker, residing in Leicester-square, he was inf orme d th a t die prisoner had called there on the previous evening, and on Mr. Singleton's card and the confirmation of .the child, obtained a quantity of boots and shoes. As she did not return, nor the child, being almost di s t rac t e d a t the loss of his child, he advertised them in all the newspapers and in handbills ; a fortnight after, 'be tween ten and twelve o'clock at night, a cab drove up to his door, in which, to their unbounded delight, was their long lost child. The child told him, and so did the cabman, that the female put him into the cab in the Strand, gave Mr. Singleton's address, and went away. Last night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, he accidentally met . the prisoner walking in Eagle street, Holborn, with some other persons. He imme diately gave -her into custody. The prisoner not having the least defence to make, was committed for trial on the charges of robbery, and obtaining goods on false pretences. 111 A YLE BONE. John APllardy, a respectably-dressed young man, was charged with stealing from the Euston Hotel, Euston-square, a valuable gun and case, the property of Primrose Fitzgerald, Esq., a gentleman of fortune residing there. 'James Jones, cl4c at the above hotel, s a id th a t the prisoner was Hall porter when Mr. Fitzgerald came to the hotel in November, 1841, bringing with other property the gun and case in question. Shortly after both were stolen, and Messrs. liethier and Van tini, the proprietors of the house, not being able to trace the property by advertising or otherwise, paid Mr. Fitzgerald the value, and he soon afterwards left London for a tour through Ireland. The prisoner was discharged in three months after for some trifling fault, and he (the witness) about the same time got an anonymous letter, promising restitution of the stolen property if a certain sum of money would be given to the writer. From some expressions contained in that letter, he was led to think that M'Hardy was implicated, and going to his lodgings in Chapel-street, Somer's Town, he found there the empty case, which he believed to .be the one stolen. John Larkin, vice -maker, 16, DrummondLcrescent, said that about seven or •eight months ago he was sent for by a friend of the prisoner's to a house in South ampton-street. He went, and found in the room the prisoner, his friend, and - a brother, they wished him (witness) to open a gun-case, and he fitted a key to it ; the contents were a gun, a flask, and some copper caps. The property was afterwards removed to M‘Hardy's lodgings in Chapel-street. He believed the gun to be the same. Other evidence was given proving, beyond a doubt, that the prisoner had committed the felony. When asked if he had anything to say, he merely requested that Mr. Long" would order the reporters to suppress his name as his parents were very respectable." He was remanded till Thursday week that Mr. Fitzgerald might be written to, and the missing gun, if possible, recovered. THAMES-POLICE. John Jones, the •cook of the General Steam Navi gation Company's ship Neptune, which only arrived from Hamburgh on Saturday morning, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, by a tide-waiter named Childs, on a charge of being in possession of 401bs. of contra band tobacco, which was found in a potatoe locker be longing to the prisoner. The officer said he wished to have the prisoner de tained until Monday, according to the provisions of the Act of Parliament, in order that the solicitors of Customs might prepare the necessary informations for the 1001. penalty. Mr. BALLANTINE put the usual question--" Have you arrested and detained the prisoner and seized the goods ?" The tide-waiter said he had not; he was not the seizing-officer. The discovery had been made, and the prisoner arrested and detained_ by a surveyor of Customs, who sent him down to the•ollice with the charge. Mr. BALIANTINE said the tide-surveyor could not perform such a duty by deputy. He could not en tertain the charge; the tide-surveyor was paid for doing his duty, and ought to have preferred the charge himself, and asked for the detention. The tide-waiter asked the Magistrate to detain the man till his superior officer could be fetched. The MAGISTRATE said he could do no such thing ; he could not entertain the case. The defendant, who expected to be detained, and fined 1001. to-day, immediately - made his exit from the Court, and declined the polite invitation made by the tide- waiter to wait a little while. An intelligent-looking sailor, decently clad, ap peared before Mr. BALLANTINE to ask his advice under the following circumstances :—He stated that he had been out to the coast of Africa five months and twenty-one days, as a sailor, on board of the schooner Emery, which sailed from the London Docks. The ship had now been home about a week or more, and had been cleared out full three days. He and the rest of the crew had applied for their wages, but had not as yet been able to obtain them, which was a great hardship upon them. Mr.BALLANTINE—Who does the ship belong to ? Seaman—Messrs. Forster and Co., of Bishopsgate street. Mr. BALLANTINE—'Then I will grant you a sum mons to know why they refuse to pay you, as the ship has been cleared out full three days; and I cannot help remarking, that it is very mean conduct of owners of vessels in keeping their seamen so long without their wages, who, it stands to reason, on ar riving at their homes, require it more particularly. I am actually tired of hearing of these complaints. UNION-HALL. Mr. Hicks, of the Surrey Theatre, was charged before Mr. Cottingham with threatening to horse whip Mr. Webb, a comedian of the same establish ment. The complainant stated that, owing to the threats of personal violence made use of by the defen dant towards him, he found it necessary, for his personal safety, to have recourse to the present pro. ceedings against him. He (complainant) was not desirous of entering into a statement of the particulars of the misunderstanding between him and the defen dant, but he would take the liberty of producing two letters received by him from that individual, which would at once explain the nature of the threats held forth against him by his adversary. The complainant here handed in two letters, saying they contained the languages and threats alluded to. Mr. TRAILL, having read the letters, said that one of them was certainly calculated to excite the feelings of the complainant, but the other one appeared to be of a more conciliatory nature. The complainant said the second letter was written by the defendant after he had ascertained that pro ceedings were to be taken against him. The defendant said the applicant need be under no apprehension, for he had no intention to strike him. The complainant made a declaration that he appre hended personal violence from the defendant. . Mr. TRAILL said, at that rate, he must bind over the defendant to be of good behaviour for six months, particularly towards the applicant. He should re quire the defendant to enter into his own recognisance in 801., but would not require him to find other sureties. The defendant, upon leaving the office, remarked that it was his first appearance at that Court, and that he was desirous of depositing ss. in the poor-box. On Friday the wind blew a stiff gale from the S.W.; and altogether the state of our harbour and 'of the weather was such as to prevent our Continental packets from landing at Dover. This circumstance takes a feather out of the caps of the Doverians, and we are sorry for the humiliation. Dover harbour ought to be in a state to receive vessels at all times of tide and in all weathers that it can be approached. It is not So, however, at present, but we hope it will soon be made so. On Friday our Continental packets ap - paired off the l'arbour, but they were signalled to the Downs. And for why? Because, though they might have entered, there was a danger of their being locked up within it by beach, should a heavier gale of S.W. wind than was then blowing occur during the night. This state of Dover harbour must not be suffered to exist. .We shall soon have the South-Eastern Rail way all Me way to Dover, when landing and embark ing at all times of tide, a , nd we may say i n a ll wea th ers , m u s t be practicable. Ihe interccurse of this great nation with the Continent, therefore, imperatively' de mands landing and embarking accommodation at Dover, not to mention the necessity that exists for a refuge port on this coast for the tempest-tossed Mari ner ; and those men in office, whoever they may be, who supply this desideratum, will add imperishable laurels to their fame, whether in a political, philan thropic, or humane sense.—Dover Chronicle.
