A special meeting of this society was held yesterday a ft ern oon at E.eter Hall, for - the purpose of receiving information from a deputation, who, at the request of the committee, had visited the rnissionar3r stationssatos and other spheres of labour, and were presun h recent tour of " confirmation" of the Lord Bishop of Tuam. The meeting was very numerously attended, and a considerable portion of the audience consisted of ladies. His Grace the Duke of Manchester, the President of the Society, presided, and besides his Lordship we noticed on the platform the Rev. Dr. M‘Neile, the Rev. A. R. C. Dallas, the Rev. Edward Bickersteth, the Rev. Edward Hoare, Captain Gordon, Mr. Plumptre, M.P. After prayer had been offered up, The CLIAIRMIN said he should best consult the in terests of the society which he had so warmly at heart. as well as the feelings of the meeting, if he did not detain them by making any observations of his own, and simply called upon those gentlemen who com posed the deputation that visited Ireland to state the progress of the work which they had in hand. The Rev. Mr. DALLAS having been first called upon by the Noble Chairman, said, after making a few preliminary observations, that about three years ago the. originators of the society had good rea sons to believe that a change had payed over the minds of the Romanists in Ireland. He did not propose to enter into the manner in which that change had been worked, still less did he mean to go at length into the extent of the change, but he might say that many circumstances had occurred to bring it about. They found it necessary in the first instance to ascertain and test the real feelings of the people. This gave rise to much difficulty, and great consideration had to be used upon the point. At last, however, after taking into consi deration the lynx eyed jealousy which every move ment of the Protestants for the advancement of truth in Ireland was watched by the Jesuits, and also the injudicious openness by which too many of their early efforts had been marred and blasted, they deemed it advisable, without resorting to any public appeal, to send forth privately, and he was not afraid to say, under the circumstances, secretly, a number of agents, to • ascertain what was the real state of the minds of the Irish Romanists. The result of the labours in which these messengers of God had been engaged was most successful, and fully justi fied the confidence which had been reposed in them. Though the people had been bound with the habitual chains of superstitution, though the fetters rivetted upon them had been placed there in their earliest youth, binding and enslaving the mind, and making them tremble at the thoughts of offending or disobeying the priests, and even tremble at one another, yet a very large portion were found to be dis believing, and rejecting that which they were in the habit of worshipping at mass, and earnestly desiring the acquaintance of some one who would instruct them in the truth. The Reverend.. Gentleman then proceeded to detail the efforts of the missionaries in the extreme west of Galway who had succeeded in making a great number of converts. When the results of their labours were communicated to the Bishop of Tuam, he was taken by surprise, and he said if the facts reported by them were true, they were by far too im portant to be neglected. After ascertaining the truth of the reports, the Bishop said, " Why let us have a confirmation," and about three months ago a letter was received by him from the secretary of this so ciety, stating that he had appointed a confirmation, and requesting that some one might be sent from London to attend it in company with him. Ac cordingly the committee appointed himself and the Rev. Mr. Wilkinson to go over to Ireland, and they had the gratification of seeing the Bishop, and wit nessi:g his confirmations. The Rev. Gentleman then gave a very interesting account of their progress through the district of Galway, and the enthusiasm with which they were everywhere met, the people in one instance crying out " Here comes the Protes tant Bishop of Tuam, and not the cursing bishop."—(Cries of " Hear, hear," and laughter.) No less than 401 converts from the Roman C stholic faith, and 47 not Roman Catholics, had been con firmed by the Bishop, and received from his hands the holy sacrament. Seeing that the field of their exertions was so large, and the number of people it contained so great, he thought even 10,0001. would be a very small sum to be employed by the society when they reflected on all the consequences that might result from it, and considered that nothing could further more the glory of God, the good of the people of Ireland, and ultimately the benefit of the Christians of England, than the labours which the society had been established to originate and promote. The Rev. Mr. WlLxiNsos, who accompanied the previous speaker, gave a brief account of their pro ceedings in - Galway, and of the enthusiasm which had everywhere followed them. The Rev. Mr. BICKERSTETH moved a resolution, expressing the thankfulness of the meeting to God for the encouragement given to the labours of the society, and expressing its sense of the valuable services of the clergy, missionaries, and other agents employed by the committee in the West of Ireland. Roman Catholicism, he believed, was an apostacy from true Christianity, and the Protestant religion was the only means by which the present deplorable state of Ireland could be regenerated. The Rev. Mr. Hoaae seconded the resolution, which was put and carried. Capt. GORDON moved—" That the meeting reve rently acknowledged the hand of God in the prosperity which had attended the spread of divine truth over that hitherto uncivilized and benighted country, and would also recognise the deep responsibility under which British Christians were thereby placed, and would also humbly and earnestly pledge itself to increased efforts to enable the society to meet the demands thereby made upon it." The Rev. Dr. M‘Nems seconded the resolution. He wished it to be understood that they did not seek to propagate Christianity by means of coercion ; but what they said was that errors should not be taught id Ireland through bribes from the Treasury. — (Cheers.) The Irish Protestant clergy were unani mous in agreeing that Roman Catholics had not the Gospel ; that was the first grand point or statement upon which they set out; and the next was that they had many false notions concerning certain assumed dogmas of their religion, on which it was important they should be instructed. The third fea ture of their plan was, that the Protestant clergymen looked now upon all the inhabitants in their parishes as being under their spiritual charge, and as persons to whom it was their duty to preach the Gospel. The fourth feature was that all the clergymen were ready to do their best to co operate in any work for the conversion of Roman Catholics in their different parishes. This was the grand object. What he wanted all those whom he addressed to do was, to give a similar promise to the committee ; far all they required was, the assistance and co-operation of friends in the great work which the society had undertaken.—(Cheers.) Mr. PLUMPTRE, M.P., briefly addressed the meet ing in favour of the resolution, which was put and carried unanimously. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, which ha briefly acknowledged, and the meeting separated. A collection in aid of the society was made at the doors, on the departure of the company, and a large sum was collected. NogFOLK ANTIQUITIES.—On a chain of hills, situate between B )dham and Waboth, about a mile distant from the sea, the entire crown of those heights, for at least a quarter of a mile, has been found to be perfectly honey-combed with a succession of bowl shaped holes, about seven or eight feet in diameter by three or four feet in depth—more numerous at the northern ex tremity than in the other parts. At a short distance, on a comparatively level space, is a mound with flattened summit, whilst in the valley beneath, within a stone's throw of the ancient excavations which have just been described, there rises a spring of water of great purity and considerable volume. The spot in question has very recently been visited by Mr. H. Harrod, ono of the honorary secretaries of the Norfolk and Norwich Ai.- chesological Society; and that gentleman, after a minute and attentive inspection of the spot, gives it as his opi nion (founded on analageus appearances existing in other counties in England) that it exhibits the site of a village or station once inhabited by a tribe of the aborigines of Britain. — Yarmouth Chronicle. MURDEROUS ATTEMPT.—The train which left Namur on Sunday last at 4 30, with 400 passengers, at tracted to Chatelet by the announcement of a game at ball to be given there, had arrived within sight of Charleroi, when the alarm whistle having been blown by the driver at a short distance from the station, near the canal-bridge, no corresponding signal was hoisted by the guard at that point. After blowing his whistle repeatedly, the engine-driver being apprehensive of danger, stopped the train, got down, and walked on towards the station. There ht. found the u n f ortunate way k eeper l y i ng on the ground with a dagger wound inflicted on him, and several se vere contusions h ea d, on the evidently produced by so me blunt instrument . Ne a r this spot the r!ils had from b een partially removed or loosened which th e line. I t ap p e ars from the investigationsimmediately t oo k place, that the authors of the crime d pro ceeded to elf et their work of de s t ruct i on by of hamme rs inufflNl with cloth, and that onethese of in struments had been ma le use of to p er petrate the mur derous attack on the waykeeper. Had the train aontinned its journey over these loose rails the consequences would have been frightful; 400 persons would inevitably have been precipitated into the canal, and we should have hid a repetition of the horrible disaster at Fainnotns. The greatest praise is duo to the presence of mind and caution shown by the engine-driver, by which a fearful acci lent was prevented.—Brucsels licra'd. About twelve o'clock on Tuesday night a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Crofts, woollen manufac • turer in Bailey's-lane, off Mallow-lane, Cork, and property to the amount of 7001. or 800/. was de , stroyed. The premises were not insureci.—Cork .Examiner. THE SON, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 24 1849, ITEMS OF IRISH NEWS. (From the Provincial Papers of Wednesday.) The Great Southern and .Western Railway, now open from Dublin to Cork, bringing the latter city within seven hours of the capital, and the delightful scenery of Killarney, Bantry, &c., within the compass of a day, is the longest line in the three kingdoms completed by a single company. It has cost three millions up to the present, and its annual revenue is 200,0001., giving a dividend of about three per cent. to the proprietors. MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.--011 Mon day last a portion of this work, between Athlone and Ballinasloe, was commenced. In connexion with the gratifying fact of its commencement, we regret to say that the manner in which it was opened created very great dissatisfaction in the neighbourhood, and nearly occasioned a riot, which, but for ,the speedy interposition of the police, might have proved of a serious character. It appears that a number of men belonging to the contractor, Mr. Dargan, who were strangers in the locality, were sent to open the work. The labourers about the place, feeling that they ought to be employed on the work near their own homes, felt greatly disappointed at seeing strangers where they considered they ought be. A great number of them, accordingly, went on the work, and demanded employment, which on being refused by Mr. Dargan's men, they insisted on obtaining, and to confirm their determination, took up some pick axes and other implements, which were lying about the place, and commenced working. The police were then sent for, and by, their interference succeeded in preventing a breach of the peace, and restored quiet ness. After a good deal of remonstrance, the people were reconciled to their disappointment in not pro curing employment, on being told by Mr. Dargan's principal agent that they would be employed when the works were more extensively opened, and when the manner of employing railway labour was shown to them by those acquainted with such employment. —Athlone Sentinel. WESTPORT WORHHOHSE.—On Saturday night last some paupers effected their escape, carrying with them some of the union property. At six o'clock on Sunday morning, at roll call, Mr. Goff, the master, missed the absentees, and called out the constabulary, whom he accompanied in search of the delinquents, all of whom they hail captured about twelve o'clock noon. Some nights previously a few refractory paupers who were expelled the house formed the diabolical plan of destroying the establishment by setting fire to a large wooden gate adjoining the kitchen. When the act was discovered, the perpetrators were found sit ting contentedly around the fire, into which they had thrown a considerable quantity of turf, as also a wheelbarrow. Fortunately the master and his assist ant, on taking their rounds, discovered the fire, and in a short time the flames were extinguished, and the perpetrators secured.—Castlebar Telegraph. THE CONSTAEULARY.--MAGISTERIAL MEETING IN ENNISCORTHT.--A meeting of the magistrates of the county Wexford was holden at Enniscorthy on Mon day, to consider the propriety of re-establishing the Tullicanna constabulary station. A memorial was adopted to the inspector general of the force, praying him to remove the men from Mayglass to Tullicanna. —Wexford Independent. Pooß-RATE RESCUE.—On Friday last T. 11. Wat son, Esq., poor-rate collector for Castlebar electoral division, seized some property belonging to tenants residing on the Lucan estate, which was rescued from him, and violence threatened to himself if he did not quit the townland.—Mayo Constitution. A letter from Philadelphia, received in Ennis, states that a man representing himself as James Breen, of Knock, county Clare, who it will be recollected, mur dered his wife about four years since, and having been tried at Ennis assizes was acquitted, on the grounds of insanity, and confined in the district lunatic asylum, where he committed suicide by nearly severing the head from the body, and on whom an inquest was held, is exhibiting there to crowded houses " as the living Irishman whose head was cut off I !"—Clare .Tournal. THE NENAGII CHAPEL APFAIR.—The committee of the Nenagh and Lisboney parishioners, who are opposed to the appointment of the Rev. Mr. Kenny as their parish priest, met on Saturday.. They ap pointed a deputation to wait on the editor of the Tip • perary Vindicator, and request of him to tell them the real name of the writer of some letters signed " A Layman of the South," and which appeared in his paper ; but the deputation failed in accomplishing the object of their mission. .The committee then pro ceeded to the transaction of private business. During the last three nights, several farmers, who were considered comfortable, and who possessed money, left their holdings, situate in the immediate vicinity of Kilrush, to the surprise and disappoint ment of landlord and tax-collector.—Limerick aminer. Several merchants to whom thousands of pounds are due by the poor-law unions in Limerick , district, have proceeded to Dublin for the purpose of soliciting the Lord-Lieutenant and the Poor-law Commissioners to devise means for insuring the early. liquidation of the enormous debts owing to them.—Limerick Chronicle. At Killaloe petty sessions on Saturday, Patrick Burke and Daniel Hogan were each fined the sum of 61., at the prosecution of Mr. John ANlugh, officer in charge of the revenue party at Killaloe, for having been found in a house where illicit potale was in the course of preparation. This officer a'so destroyed 400 gallons of potale adjacent to the house of the prisoners, which is a distance of fifteen miles from his station.— Limerick Reporter. On Sunday night three fellows disguised entered the residence of John Byrnes, at Kishyquirk, in the county. Limerick, and having dragged Byrnes out of the house, beat him unmercifully and left him dead, as they supposed. They threw him into a ditch, where he lay until found by his friends, by whom he was removed to the infirmary, where he remains in a dangerous state. The cause assigned for this wanton outrage is, that Byrnes gave information of the re moval of corn by a runaway tenant. —Limerick Chronicle. Captain M`Call, 70th Highlanders, was robbed on Monday evening of 201. It appears that whilst at mass some person entered his quarters, and broke open a desk, from which two 101. notes were ab stracted. Two other 10/. notes were also in the desk, but were not taken.—Nenogh Guardian. A fire broke out on Wednesday evening last, about the hour of six o'clock, in the haggard of Mr. James Kennedy, of ltedeen, near Lorrha, which was en tirely consumed, together with his dwelling-house, out-offices, &c. This is the third time Me. Ken nedy's property has been burned. Hsi is insured for 2001. in the Alliance Company.—Tipperary Vindi cator. BALLYHALE TENANT PROTECTION SOCIETY.—The second meeting of this body was held on Wednesday last, at two o'clock, and was very numerously attended. Tenant farmers from several estates in the parish, anxious to learn the object of this society and the rule.; by which the members are to be guided, assembled at the rooms long before the hour of meeting. All seemed to take the liveliest interest in the proceedings. Fourteen new member& were enrolled. Several notices of motion were given for the next day of meeting, when the committee will begin its work of usefulness. —Tipperary Free Press. Some nights since four persons called at the house of Lara, the residence of Martin O'Connor, Esq., and inquired if he was at home. On being informed that he was not, but was shortly expected, they left the hall door and returned by the avenue, but had not proceeded far when Mr. O'Connor drove up. lie was instantly attacked, and robbed of 251. A few nights after, a gang of the same ruffians pro ceeded to Fortwilliam, in the same neighbourhood, the residence of Patrick J. Tighe, Esq. (who happened to be in Dublin), for the purpose of robbing it. But before they made any attempt to effect an entrance, they were perceived by some of Mr. Tighe's men, who gave the alarm.—Roscommon Journal. ASSAULT.—Wednesday night last, three fellows, armed with loaded butts, went to the house of Michael Madden, a farmer residing at Clonkelly, and fractured his skull. Msdden's corn was at the time under seizure, on a civil bill decree, and it was by parties connected with the plaintiff in the decree by whom he was beaten—two of whom were arrested by the Crinkle police.—King's County Chronicle. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—About one o'clock p.m. on Monday, as a servant of Mr. Robert Dowd, of Bruena Mills, was returning from Roscrea branch of the Tipperary Joint Stock Bank, he was stopped within a few yards of the spot on which a servant of the same gentleman was robbed before. In the present case the robbers took the sum of 51. in silver, and half notes to the amount of 951., with which they made off across the fields, in the direction of Shinrone, sharply pursued by a party of the ttoscrea police, under corn • mand of Constable Waters, but without success. — t Tipperary Vindicator. SCOTCH WHISICEL—We observe that some casks of Scotch whiskey were recently returned into one of the Scotch ports, after having been shipped to the West Tu dies, fur the purpose of improving the spirit by the voyage. We are not cognizant of a practice of the kind having existed, or of British spirits having before been sent on a voyage to the Indies and back v)lely for the purpose of improving the spirit, although such a mode of precaeding is found to have so beneficial an effect on Cape and also other wines, and the fact of such a pro ceeding in the present instance having been adopted, is of some interest. BUT TOUR LEAVES. —Another enormous Blue-book has just be en i ssue d by the Select Committee appointed to Inqui re i nto the Woods and Forests.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 23. (Sittings in Banco.) BRUFF V. E:TSENBERG. This was an application to set aside a distringas, and an execution thereon, on the ground of irregularity. The form of the rule set forth that the plaintiff, in obtaining the distringas, had done so at his peril. The defendant, his wife, a Mr. Peter Dimond, and Chambers, one of defendant's servants, deposed in affidavits that when the distringas was issued on the Learned Judge's order, he (defendant) was out of the country, on the continent, and that the Learned Judge must therefore have been deceived in the affidavits on which he issued his order. _ The plaintiff, a Mr. Hooper, Davis, a sheriff's officer, and others, made affidavits on the other hand, deposing to their belief that defendant was at the time in question in the country. The affidavits on both sides were of the most conflicting character. The Court remarked that the matter was so important as to require their considera tion, and postponed judgment for that purpose. The Attorney• General, Mr. Martin, Q.C., and Mr. Lush showed cause against the rule ; Sir F. Thesi ger, Mr. Whateley, Q C., Mr. Cockburn, Q C., and Mr. Bramwell, appeared in support of it. William Muggeridge, Edward. Fowler, Thomas Bruce, and James Garner, four persons attired in the garb of sailors, were brought up to receive the sen tence of the Court fur resisting Custom-house officers in the execution of their duty, who had endeavoured to prevent them from carrying on their nefarious practices as smugglers at Portsmouth. The officers were most grossly assaulted, and one of them had his jaw broken. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAK6 addressed the Court in mitigation of damages. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied; and showed the conduct of the prisoners to have been of the worst kind. They were respectively sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment and hard labour in the South ampton county gaol. IN THE MATTER OF MR. CORBETT. The COURT declined to accede to the motion of Mrs. Cobbett for a habeas corpus to bring up her husband, on the ground that he had been repeatedly brought up on the same grounds, and urged the same arguments, which had been satisfactorily disposed of. ADMIRALTY COURT, Nov. 23, (Before Dr. LUSHINGTON.) THE ROB ROT.-COLLISION. This was a suit promoted by the owners of the late steam vessel Unicorn against the steam• vessel Rob Roy, to recover the loss consequent on a collision between them in the North Seas, about fifty miles from the Ne warp light, on the evening of the 21st January last. The action was entered at the sum of 26,0001., but on its being ascertained that the value of the Rob Roy was only 12,0001., bail was taken for that amount, because, according to maritime law, a larger sum could not be recovered. The Unicorn, of the burden of 289 tons, with engines of 150-horse power, laden with goods and passengers, was bound from Kingston-on-Hull to Antwerp. She was proceeding, as she alleged; at seven and a half knots in hour, the wind blowing south 7 west by west, accompanied by a heavy sea, when a bright light was seen from the starboard bow. The helm of the Unicorn was then starboarded a little, by which her course was altered one point. A few minutes afterwards a green light became apparent, from which it was inferred a steam vessel was passing to the starboard. The helm was then put well to starboard, and kept steady, but almost immediately after adopting that measure the vessels came into contact, and so violent was the blow that the Unicorn was cut down to the water's edge, and sank in a short time, the crew and passengers having first got on board the Rob Roy. The accident was attributed to the want of a good look out by the Rob Roy, which, it was said, did not discern the Unicorn until it was too late to avoid the collision. The Rob Roy, of the burden of 354 tons, with two engines of 80 horse power each, and also laden with a general cargo, was prosecuting her voyage from Antwerp to Hull, proceeding, as she stated, at about nine knots an hour, the wind being south-west. On discovering a bright light right ahead her helm was ported, and she paid off. On the light approaching nearer to her the helm was put and kept hard a port; and on finding that she was nearing a steamer, her engines were stopped and reversed, but without effect. She attributed the collision to neglect on board the Unicorn in not ex hibiting proper light, it being admitted that her green light had been extinguished prior to the accident, and in starboarding instead of porting her helm when she first descried the Rob Roy. Dr. Addams, Dr. R. Phillimore, and. Dr. Twiis having been heard on behalf of the Unicorn, The Learned JUDGE, accompanied by the gentle men of the Trinity Corporation, retired for a few min utes, and on their return, Dr. LUSUINGTON said they were of opinion, that it was unnecessary to trouble the counsel for the defence. Had there existed the slightest degree of doubt in the minds of either of his assessors or of his own, then unquestionably he should have been s olicitous to re ceive the benefit of counsel's argument. They were, however, clearly of opinion that. the plaintiff had not made out his case. According to the instructions issued by the Trinity Board of Hull, under, as was said, the sanction of an Act of Parliament, the Uni corn was bound to have her green light burning, whereas it, had been accidentally extinguished. Pros. bably the captain of that . vessel was not aware of it, but, it not being visible, the Rob Roy was justified in porting her helm. The ELDER BRETHREN having expressed their concurrence with the observations made by the Learned Judge, , Dr. LUSHINGTON dismissed the claim of the Unicorn with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Charles Laughne was brought before Alderman Carden for final examination upon various charges of forgery and robbery. The warehouseman of Messrs. Devas and Co., of Lawrence-lane, said Messrs. Hewitt and Co , of Albion-street, Holborn, are customers of ours. On the 8:h inst. the prisoner presented to me an order for silk and linen, and we supplied him with the articles upon the representation that they were for Messrs. Hewitt and Co. A pawnbroker produced the greater part of the silk and linen, and stated that they had been pledged by the prisoner. It was proved that Messrs. Hewitt and Co. knew nothing at all of the prisoner or the order. Russell and Finnis, the officers, apprehended the prisoner at his lodgings.. He produced part of the silk, which he admitted he had pledged, and several duplicates. Mr. Dawson, in the employment of Messrs. Beving ton and Co., of No. 67, King William-street, said, the prisoner on the 22 , 1 of September delivered to me an order, purporting to be signed by one of the firm of Hatton ' Ritchie, and Co., silk mercers, in Regent circus, for some boas, from which they were to select two or three, and to send back the rest. The boas were never returned. Mr. D. Ritchie, of the house of Hatton, Ritchie, and Co , said this order is not in my handwriting, nor in that of any one authorised by the house. Mr. W. F. Graham, of No. 31, Spital-square, silk manufacturer, said, I received an order from the pri soner, on the 7th of August, purporting to be signed by Messrs. Sherland, Pigeon, and Co., for a piece of good black satin. I found that it was not genuine. Mr. James S. Brookes—l manage business for my brother Thomas Brookes, at No. sk, Wood-street, silk manufacturer. The prisoner came to me with an order, purporting to be signed by Mr. Jay, for Messrs. Howell, of Gracechurch-street, on the 25th of July. We knew the house in the trade, and gave to the prisoner ninety-five yards of black silk, value 151. 16s, Bd. A pawnbroker produced the silk. Mr. Jay, assistant to Messrs. Howell, said the prisoner came and inquired about a piece of dress in the window. He asked me to let him have patterns, and said he wanted to make a present, and wished to consult his sister about it. I gave him patterns on the 25th of July. I put the prices in pencil, and pasted the patterns on one of our bill-heads, thinking that would be sufficient. This is the same bill-head, and these are the same patterns I gave him. My initials are on it in pencil. Under the bill-head of the house of Howell and Co., produced, was written the forged order. Mr. James Shuter Black, of No. 8, Lawrence lane, manager of the business of Messrs. Crawford and Lindsay, Irish linen manufacturers, of Banbridge, in Ireland, said the prisoner came to me on the 12th and 13th of June, and obtained a quantity of linen. On the 12th he came about two o'clock in the after noon, and said he wanted some very soft linen for Messrs. Churton and Son, of Oxford-street. He said our traveller bad been calling on them recently, and he thought they could now do some business with us. I said to him, " Are you young Mr. Churton ?" He said " Yes." I. went on to say I was aware his Louse did business with Wilkes in our trade, to which he replied " Ye.." That knowledge inti mated to me the description of goods he was likely to , want. He was then particularly well dressed; and from his appsarance, and from what he said, I believed him to be the person he said he was, and I supplied him with three pieces of linen, value 121. 13s. 41. He then told me the linen was for Sir Henry Peyton. Next morning at ten o'clock the prisoner came again, and said that he saw Sir Henry Peyton, who told him to bring him some linen that was softer and thinner. He then selected four pieces more, two of one sort and two of another, value 221. is 24. I beard no more about him till I sent in the bill in July. Mr. Churton then came and said he was not the party, and that the business was in the hands of the police. Alderman CARDER—WeII, if I had not heard the Mr. Clarkson said he would at the next hearing case 1 never could have believed it. I show the disposal of the goods by other evidence, and The witness—The competition in trade is so great he asked a remand for that purpo,e. we cannot help it. Mr. Alderman GIBBS then adjourned the case of Mr. Walter, a pawnbroker, produced several pieces the 3.000 muskets until Friday next, taking re of the linen which had been pledged by the prisoner, duced bail, Mr. Smith in 1,0001, and two sureties in and proved to the satisfaction of the Alderman that he 2501. each. had exercised due caution, and acted in the most tradesmanlike manner in his dealing with the prisoner. Mr. E. G. Churton, of Oxford street, hosier, stated that he belonged to the house of Churton and Son ; that he knew nothing of the prisoner, and had given no authority to buy the goods enurnerreed. The prisoner, who appeared to be exceedingly de pressed, stated that he had nothing to say. He was committed upon five separate charges. The justice room was crowded with respectable tradesmen during the investigation, which lasted for a great length of time. GUILDHALL. Mr. Charles James Smith, of 24, King William street, in the City, and 28, Whittall street, Birming ham, gun manufacturer, was charged before Mr. Alderman Gibbs with having appropriated to his own use 4,000 muskets and 500 rifles, namely, 3,000 mus kets intrusted to him to repair, and 1,000 muskets and 500 rifles bought of him, and delivered, the value of the whole being 2,8001. Mr. Clarkson, addressing the Alderman, said the present inquiry was one under the 57th section of the 7th and Bth of George IV., cap. 29. Mr. Charles Scott, of No. 8, Park-lane, Hyde Park, said—ln the month of February last I purchased of the defendant at Birmingham 1,000 muskets and 500 rifles, for which I paid 1,3401., and deducting discouut _ _ it amounted to 1,3051. I directed them to be sent to London either by Pickford's or Chaplin and Horne's. In the month of April I found the whole of them at Chaplin and Horne 's in the name of Smith. I took the prisoner to have them transferred in my name in the month of May, which was done, and they were after wards removed to Mr. Candler's warehouse in Billiter street. Mr. Smith gave a written order to Messrs. Chaplin and Horne that they were my goods. The goods remained at Candler's, and Mr. Smith said to me that I had better allow him to have samples, and instruct Candler that they might be inspected, as I was going to Paris for the winter, and he might have an opportunity of selling them to advantage. I did so; but at the same time did not consent that he should sell any without first communicating with me. I authorised Candler to allow the prisoner samples, but I did not authorise him to part with them. In the middle of May I purchased 3,000 muskets of a Mr. Salamanca of the Stock Exchange, and took the prisoner with me to complete the purchase and examine the goods. Smith said, that being flint muskets there would be some trouble in disposing of MARYLEBONE. A respectably attired young woman, named Eleanor Clarence, aged 18, WAS brought before the sitting magiltrate (Mr. Long), charged with having defrauded the Great Western Railway Company of 17s. It appeared from the evidence, that on the previous day the prisoner was a passenger in a second class carriage, the train having come up from Exeter. At Swindon she and the rest of the passengers were asked, as is usual at that station, for their tickets, in order that they might be regularly stamped ; she alleged that she had lost hers, and on her being questioned as to where she came from, she said that she got into the carriage at Bath ; she further said that she had friends in London who would readily pay the company's demand, in the event of her word not being taken as to her having already paid the amount of her fare. She was taken on to the Pad dington station, under the surveillance of Claridge, one of the guards ; and as she was unable to give any information as to where her friends lived, or to what particular place she intended to go, Mr. Powell, the night superintendent, directed one of the railway constables, 398, to take her to the station house. The prisoner, in! default of paying the company's demand of 175., was committed for seven days to the House of Correction. WESTIf INSTEII. Alfred Sinclair, alias Thomas Tucker, alias Barclay, alias Willis, alias Praed, a fashionably-dressed man, about two or three-and-thirty years of age, about five feet six in height, of dark complexion, with full black whiskers, was brought up for re-examination, charged with swindling a number of tradesmen. Further evidence was taken from Mr. A. Webster, of 21, Trinity-square, Finsbury, and Mr. John Cotton, of 4, Hatton garden, from whom goods had been obtained by the prisoner, under the style of C. T. Barclay and Co., 10, Maiden-lane, Qaeen -street. The prisoner was further remanded, Mr. BURRELL refusing to take bail. SOUTHWARK. A lengthened investigation took place at this Court before Mr. Seeker, relative to the circumstances attending the death of a young girl named Elizabeth Pledge, fifteen years of age, which occurred on board a vessel called the Pauline Hall, the master of which, Charles Carruthers, his mate, and four of his crew, besides a Custom-house officer, were taken into cus tody on the charge of being instrumental in her death. Mr. Superintendent Haynes, M division, called forward a girl, named Ann Kelly, who, he said, accompanied the deceased on board the vessel, and who would be enabled to throw some light on the circumstances attending her death. The witness having been sworn, stated that she was sixteen years of age, and that on Wednesday last she met Elizabeth Pledge at about 12 o'clock, and that they went on board the Pauline Hall, which was lying alongside Chamberlain's wharf, to sell some fruit. While on board the cook invited them down into the forecastle to have some dinner, and while there poured two glasses of liquor out of a stone bottle and gave them to Elizabeth Pledge, who drank them off, and he then returned the bottle into his chest and went upon deck. At this period there were no persons in the fore castle but the witness and deceased, who, the moment the cook left the place, went to his chest, and taking out the stone bottle put it to her mouth, and took two or three hearty draughts of the liquor. The deceased soon afterwards laid down on the floor of the forecastle and fell asleep, and soon afterwards the cook came down, and on seeing the deceased took a blanket out • of a hammock, and spread it over her. Witness afterwards tried to arouse the deceased, but finding that she could not, and that she was frothing at the mouth, she was obliged to leave her and go on shore, as she had some work to do. She heard the Custom-house officer, whose name is Elliott, warn the deceased of the danger of her partaking so freely of ardent spirits, but the answer she gave was, that she was not afraid to drink. The witness then pointed out the parties she saw on board at the time, but mentioned that she did not see the master during the whole period, and that ' she herself renufined in the vessel for about three. hours; that when she left, she thought that as soon as the deceased awoke she would go on shore, and this was the reason she made no further inquiry about her ; she heard nothing more of her until she was that morning informed that the girl was dead; William Pledge stated that he was the father of the deceased, who had worked for the last six years at Mr. Edgington's, the sackmaker, in Duke-street. She was 15 years of age, and left home on Wednes day ramming, between 10 and 11 o'clock, in her usual state of health, and he -had not seen her from that time until that morning, when she was lying dead. lie observed black marks on one side of her face as if Violence had been offered to her He added that he trusted the affair would be sifted to the bottom, so ts to account for the sudden death of his child ; that she was not in the habit of going on board vesselF, nor was she in the habit of drinking, but was always a virtuous, sober, and industrious girl. Mr. SECICEE said that he would not permit any of the crew to go at large unless the master of the vessel consented to be bound in the sum of 5001. for their appearance at that court on Tuesday next, and he should call upon the Customhouse officer who was on board at the period of the girl's death to enter into his own recognizance in the sum of 801. to appear on the them, and proposed that they should be converted into percussion guns. We agreed that they were to be altered at 3s. 9d. each, and I gave an order for their delivery to be forwarded to Birmingham. This was in May, the goods being at Mr. Bell's, of Nicholas lane. After remaining until the 27th of October, 1 applied to Mr. Smith in writing for 1,600 muskets, in consequence of the prisoner having told me in Sep tember that 1,600 were finished, and having at the time an advantageous order for them to be forwarded to Mexico. Not receiving them I wrote a second time, and afterwards called on Mr. Candler, where I re ceived such information as led me to suppose there was something wrong. This was on the 7th or Bth of No veMber. I received no communication that he had obtained any delivery order, nor did I give him any order to take anything but samples for sale. On Friday, the 9th of November, I saw him at Ryder's Hotel, and said, that I thought, from what Mr. Candler had said, it was a strange proceeding that he should have gone and got a delivery warrant without my know• ledge. Upon which he said, there had been a large fire in Broad-street, or London-wall, and he had done it on purpose . to insure my goods. I told him it was strange he did not inform me of it, and as I had given no order I should insist upon the trsnsfer or , delivery orders being given up. He said that he would go and fetch them, and meet me again at Ryder's Hotel at half-past five o'clock. In the interval I communi cated with my solicitor, and we both went to Candler's, and from information there received, we returned to Ryder's Hotel and waited till ,a late hour at night, but he did not come. The next day Mr. Sidney and I went down to Birmingham, ana I saw Mr. Smith. I said to him—" How is it you did not keep your appointment and return to Ryder's ?" He replied that be did not , meet the party who held them, being Lord Mayor's day, but he would give me an order to Candler, which be did, and I left it with that person, at the same time keeping a copy. The order was "Birmingham, Nor. 10, 1849. " Mr. Candfer,—Please transfer the 75 cases standing in my name to 'Captain Scott, and I will return the others.. "..• I also at Birmingham spoke about the 3,000 muskets, and asked why they were not sent up according to my letter, when he took me up to his warehouse and showed me some muskets and new cases, and he pro. posed to send at least 10 cases, as the alterations were going on very rapidly, and they would be in London that night. tie also' said he could not send the full number, as they were in the hands of 50 different workmen, and there was a difficulty in getting them together. We returned to London ; and finding on the 'Monday that none had arrived, I the following day went to Birmingham, and saw Mr. Smith. I told him my suspicions had been considerably in creased, and I should not rest satisfied until I hid the warrants. He said, they- were in London, and only showed me about 300 muskets out of 3,000. I insisted on his coming to London with me ; and we went to —Mr. -Sidney, my solicitor, when Mr. Sidney said, fi the warrants must be produced," and the prisoner replied " that he would go and get them." Mr. Sidney said he would send his clerk with any letter or message the prisoner chose to give, but he would not, and at last said that he had pawned or given them as a collateral security to• a Mr. Wrench, who had discounted some bills for him. This was on the day he was taken into custody. He also said he had sold Mr. Laird, of Bucklersbury, 150 out of the 3,000 to go off to the East Indies, and had received between 601. and TO/. Mr. Thomas Bolting, one of the clerks at Ham brough-wharf, Thames-street, belonging to Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, deposed to some cases of guns being in the possession of his employers, and seeing Mr. Smith frequently call about them. He also saw Captain Scott and Smith in the latter end of Sept., when 74 cases of guns were ordered by Smith to be sent to Candler's. They contained 1,500 guns. Henry Benjamin Candler, son to Mr. Thomas Wagitatfe Candler, said—We received the cases of guns, and Scott gave us orders to abide Mr. Smith's directions while he was on the continent respecting them, which he said were his property, and therefore they entered in the name of Smith, although the pro perty of Scott. I made an entry of the number of cases in the name of Scott, but it appears by the book that it is in the name of Smith. I cannot tell the reason why it so appears, although in ray handwriting. There was an order on the 29th of September from Smith to Candler to receive the cases. On the 4th of October there was another order to deliver 50 cases to a Mr. Marsden. They were transferred to that name, and on the 25th of October an order was re ceived from Marsden for them to be re-transferred to Smith, which was done. Smith holds three warrants, and therefore we keep the muskets and rifles until they are returned. Mr. Scott cross-examined by Mr. Ballantine—He had no right to obtain the tansfer orders from Mr. Candler. I only gave him authority about samples. I have not a bill of exchange drawn by me for 4991., accepted by Smith. I returned the bill to Smith a few days after be gave it to me. It was, I • • think, destroyed. Mr. Ballantine—Who did it ? Mr. Scott—l don't know. The prisoner went to the fire-place, saying, "Well, it's of no use. I did not tear it up." Mr. Ballantine—Why did you receive it ? Mr. Scott—To discount, but not wishing my name to appear I declined, and returned it to him a few days after. Mr. Ballantine here handed:a piece of paper across to Mr. Scott, on which certain calculations had been made, and asked him if the figures were not his ? Mr. Scott—l don't recognise whether these figures are in my handwriting. They may be an imitation. Alderman Gtnns—What is your belief ? Mr. Scott—Let me look again. The first part of the writing is not mine, and the figures may be a good imitation. Mr. Ballantine—On your oath, do you believe them to be your's ? Mr. Scott—l think not. I don't think I ever saw that paper before. Mr. Ballantine—l again ask, are they in your handwriting ? Mr. Scott—l don't recognise them. Mr. Ballantine here produced a letter, which Mr. Scott acknowledged as being in his handwriting, the contents of which were that Smith would take up the bill already alluded to as being destroyed some time before it became due, as money was wanted; and it was dated from ewmarket, where the captain then was. Alderman GIBBS recalled Candler, and asked in whose name the goods now were ? Mr. Candler replied that they were not in Mr. Wrench's name, but he held two of the orders for them, and could at any time demand them. Alderman Giuns considered the charge, as re garded the 1,500 guns, was at an end. They were Captain Scott's property, and the warehouse-keeper had authority to deliver them to him. Mr. Alderman Gross asked Mr. 'Ballantine what answer he had to the 3,000 muskets? He had no authority to sell them, and he had sold 150 and, seat them to India, and received 701. Mr. Ballantine said if his client bad erred in the authority he had to sell them, he was willing to ac• count for the money ; but he was a man of undoubted character and fortune. Mr. Alderman Gnats said that he had no evidence on this point except something that had been said by the prisoner himself. same day. The required suretim having been entered into, the accused were set at liberty. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From last night's Gazette.)

LIVERPOOL, Nor. 23.—This morning's corn marke . was slenderly attended, and the business done in any article was in moderate quantities. Fine fresh wheat, and the top brands of flour, fully supported the quota tions of Tuesday last. Mealing oats are scarce, and steady in price. Beans and peas could not be bought so well as of late. Barley was without alteration in value. Indian corn wac; held with firmness; if holdbrs would make a concession of 6d per quarter, a fair quantity would be taken by speculators. STOWMAIIKET, Nov. 22.—Seed operations are about concluded in these districts, and, as it respects weather, never uuder more auspicious circumstances. In coLse. quence of the universal employment of our farmers in fieldwork, our supplies have been so short as to render much business impossible. Now, however, both wh and barley are oiler d in larger qtrintittes, and Our supplies are likely to be great, especially of the latter graM. Wheat is this week slow sale, at a reduction of is to 2s per quarter from the rates of last week. For barley there is a fair demand at is per quarter abatement There are not so many beans and peas ofirring as might have been expected, and they readily realise late quotations. NEWBURY, Nov. 22.—Our supply of wheat is only .moderate, yet more than equal to the demand, which is extremely slaolt, at a re‘luction of fully is per quarter from the rates of last week, Barley, a large supply; RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS• BRISTOL, Nov. 23.
