SEPTEMBER 9, 1842. -;-.-4- It is one of the misfortunes of newspaper editors, which is soinetimes an affliction for their readers, .that being intensely interested in the events and work of the day, they sometimes forget facts wh:ch they ought to remember, and run counter to principles to which they have given their agseet. •We feel that this is our own case, and .we aro not therefore inclined to measure the conduct 'if our Contemporaries by a very strict rut Nevcrthele6s, we must ay of our Tory brethrea that they have lately, in their con fus:on arising from their leaders deserting their disregarded many well proved facts, and tried to subvert the best established prin ciples. The leader of the whole tribe reached the climax of this absurd course yesterday, when he boldly threw off his allegiance to general rules, and claimed to substitute for them the fi,--..ree momentary will of any scribbler, or any act:ve, bustling, busy Magistrate. " General rules," said the Times, " arc very good things in their z; 3y, but it is a mere narrow pedantry to make tlim masters instead of servants." The Tinzes then sets up its own will, or the Will of the Magistrates, or their notions of temporary expe .diency, as superior to general, moral, and poli t:cal rules, and declares that those guides of life ar k• the servants, not the masters, of living men. ;;;,,, man shall not steal—shall not bear false w ito c i;s--shall not murder—arc general rules. "Will the ~ , Tditor of tio Times say that he is to be master over `hem, • and they are to be servants of Us ry caprice? It is a general rule that 3„ ) „, sty i s t h e :)est, and, indeed, the only policy. too, to be :raa;pled under foot ? It is z 1 ?.:ei;oral rule—dear, sve think, to the hearts and ur,tle rstanding of En,iiishuica—that; prosperity and •liberty go hand in • hand ; and is obedience to that to treated as mire pedantry, because there is a momentary disturbance in one pArt of • country? 1.4 all the gathered experience or .ncestors, embodied into the general rule ',ha; fveedom is essential to the welfare of .IZ-;,,.:and, to be disregarded becanz . 'i the opu lent elacses fecl considerable momentarj alarm rt, th e muduct of the multitude? A doctrine more destru ve of all stabiiity in society--more adverse to '.rue Llonscrvatism—more fatal to all than the doctrine that general rules ; .•dnceil from the observation of ages, and clothe:] tioe swoctity of laws of nature, are to ;;0 servitniA of the being of an hour, we have nut with. No Radical, eager for change -- ' l(v ,":ced despiser of the isisdorn of our an --e;:s—no scoffer at a regular and well-orthred ?-ovette - nent oy the univerz:c—could frame a due inoc:! oongeuial to his hopes and his per son:ll . on r .:.li l`Z~lt ~ Tnie . 2 imes applied this perverse assertion to r e on r. the general rule that Legislators and Ma" ,- ; ; T ,t,es should nut interfere between master nnd.:ae::, to regulate their wages, and compel the is that journal has proposed, to give workmen employment at all times. But we know no geniiral rule which ex perience has more amply confirmed. Every ,each interference has injured trad e , injured the masters, and injured the men. In our count,:y it carries injustice on its face. In its present furor of benevolence, the Times may demand toit the Legislature should comp e l snini , partieniar of masters to give a higher rate power of regulating wa ges of wages ; but lt.r the on ti le : ni nc i p i e of i m cnevolence be colerred un composed exclusively zhe Houses of Parilarne;l: t . would soon be rtilvd of the master class, and by law that no labourer shout.fl have better than -workhouse.. fare. f o r months and years the ha; been railing against the New Poor law, because it has reduced the arlo7auce of paupers to Imefit the opulent class, and now - . it would place in the hands of the Legislature, notwitstanding its horror of centralization, the -power of dealing with the labourer as with paupers, which would soon reduce the former to the condition of the latter. Both theory and e xperience, if they be nut one ant'. the same, c ombine to prove the solidity of that general rule which the Times would set aside, and, to set t aside more effectually, would make all general ;rules bpod to its will. We Nave high authority for our respect for general rules. Dr. PALEY entitles one of hi s chapters " The Necessity of General Rul es," and in that chapter be writes -44 You cannot perniit one action and forbid another without showing a difference between them ; Conse quently the same sort of action must be generally m per mitted or generally forbidden." "The assassin knocked the rich villain on the head because he thought him better out of the way than in it. If you allow this ex cuse io the present , instance, you must allow it to all who act in the same manner and from the same motive ; that as you must allow every man to kill any one he meets whom hr thinks noxious or useless, which, in the event would be to commit every man's life and safety to the spleen, fury, and fmaticistn of his neighbour—a dis position of atfirs which would soon fill the world with misery and confusion, and ere long put an end to human society, if not 0) the human species." So the Times, contrary to the general rule that private contracts between men, such as those to give wages on the one hand for work on the other, should be enforced by the law, but not otherwise interfered with, would have the law interfere with all private contracts to gratify its peculiar apprehension:, recently acquired, about butties and coalowners. If we allow the inter ferencQ in this instance we must allow it in all, when men act in the 'same manner and from the same motives and the Legislature must regulate all contracts, even those which the Times makes with its reporters, compositors, and customers. Such an extension of the power of the Legislature, from whom already a vast deal more is demanded than can be accomplished, would soon " fill the world," to borrow the language of PXLEY, " wit It misery and confusion, and, ere long, put an end to human society and the human species." We do not advert to this subject in any narrow spirit of criticism, but to make our readers aware at once of the desperate lengths to which the anti-free trade party is driven. They first inter fere with the price.of food next they propose to interfere with wages, and to arrive at that end they are obliged to teach the superiority of their own foolish speculations to the general moral rules which have been formed by the experience of all ages. A few editors of newspapers who embrace these extraordinary doctrines, and know little or nothing of the wonderful system of pro duction which has grown up amongst us within these few years, are now writing up a sort of crusade against manufactures and manvfacturers. Their proceedings are most erroneous and most mischievous; and We refer to the monstrous doctrines of the Times to prove the incorrect ness of their principles, and to put the public on their guard. Follow the teaching of the Times and the Post, and all general rules will soon be banished from politics and morals, except the rule that men must be blindly obedient to the Tories. 4 11 ( 1.

In 2 Vols. .13!) Sir -Richard Henry Bonnycastle. London, Honry Coaurn. We are not acquainted with any work which we could so honestly recommend for the guidance of settlers in Newfoundland as the volumes now before us, from the fertile pen of Lieutenant• Colonel Sir H. 11. Bonnycastle. As a sequel to his " Canadas in 1841," it supplies a body of information exceedingly valuable—the accumulation of extensive research, and laborious personal investigation. First, we have a very interesting historical sketch of the early settlement of the island; next, its history down to the current year—an account of its mineral, vegetable and animal produe ti on s—its climate and meteorology—its agricul tural resources—its moral and physical relations, go vernment, and policy—its fisheries, trade, shipping, and revenue, lightened off with an abundance of anec dotes of the manners, customs, and peculiarities of its inhabitants. Though constantly squabbling about politics, Sir H. H. Bonnycastle bears testimony that. " the people are very orderly, and respectful to their superiors ; temperance has enrolled under its banners the greater proportion, and housebreaking and serious crimes are actually unknown ; and that it is univer sally admitted that there is no country in the civilized world, where greater simplicity of manners ; or less crime exists, than in Newfoundland." The future historian of this fine colony will turn to this work with pleasure and profit. It is embellished with some good views, an excellent map of the island, and a portrait of the Governor, Sir John Harvey. TRE FUNDS-(CLOSING PRICES.) BRITISH FUNDS. Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

This is the second death, and the third ac cideLt, which ho plaae Ibis ruck notorious.— COrli Ea. anditer, THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9, 11442, JUSTICES' JUSTICE. Yesterday se'unight, in the Dover Police-court, James Fitzjarnes and Edward Gladstone, comedians, were charged by Frederick Fox Caoper with assault ieg him on the previous evening. The charge being proved against k'itzjames, he was fined 10s., includ ing costs. The same parties were then charged with threaten ing the life of Mr. Cooper that morning; and were required to find two sureties in 201. each, to keep the peace for two months, and in default were committed. They found bail after being confined about three or four hours. From this incarceration arose a charge on their part against the gaoler and turnkey of Dover Gaol, for exceeding their duty in causing their hair to be cropped after the fashion of common felons, during the short time they were in their custody while hail was prGeuring, according to the decision above. The Magistrates met on Friday to investigate the case, when Mr. Bass appeared as the solicitor for the com plainants, and submitted that, although in order to bring the matter before the Justices, he had advised the parties to take out summonses for assaults, the proper course would be to treat the matter as one in volving a tyrannical excess of their duty on the part of the officers, to which course the Magistrates assented. Mr. Fitzjames was sworn, and stated that on being placed in custody till they found bail, they amused themselves with singing the song of " All's Lost," when the gaoler came to them, and threatened, if they did not leave off singing, to place them where they would not get bail for - three days. Ile then made them take off their coats and hats, and tuck up their shirt sleeves. After this their hair was cropped short, by order of the gaoler. They were placed among the debtors ; but were ordered not to speak. They turn key told them they must pick oakum, or go without their dinner. Ile (Mr. Fitzjames) declined both. The gaoler threatened that if they did not conform to the rules of the prison they would be publicly whipped. He clearly understood that if he did not pick oakum he would have no dinner. The gaoler's manner was such as to intimidate him. Gladstone asked the sur geon, if it was necessary they should have their hair lcut. The surgeon said he thought not. The gaoler said, " If you do not submit to the rules, you will be placed upon bread and water." They both reinon sstrated with the gaoler on having their hair cut; and Mr. Gladstone requested him to wait till their friends returned with bail. Their hair was cut off about a quarter of an hour after they were put into gaol. One of their friends stated, in the hearing of the gaoler, that he would go and get bail for them. :11r. Gladstone corroborated the statement of Mr. Fitzjames, and added, that they expostulated with the officers not to take off their hair, as they would be bailed in a few minutes, and the want of their hair would be detrimental to them in their profession as actors. To this the turnkey replied, in jest, that he would cut off their heads if the gaoler bid him. The gaoler stated, that while in his house he heard a noise some time after the complainants were locked up, on which he went to the gaol, and found them .bellowing and singing. He informed them, that if they infringed the rules of the prison, they would be placed in solitary confinement for three days. Ile admitted that he ordered the complainants to be " cropped," and subjected to the same treatment as other prisoners committed for misdemeanour. They had been examined by Mr. Coleman, the surgeon of the gaol. They were clean. They neither of them asked him to have their hair left on. He told Mac donald to treat these_rnen as misdemeanants. He was bound to take their description. All prisoners were treated in the same way, and the rules of the prison left him no alternative. Persons of the higher classes of society, he said, had been served similarly ; and in stanced a Mr. Baring and a Mr. Beresford, who had their hair cropped in Dover gaol. Mr. Coleman, jun., surgeon, had examined the complainants in gaol. Ile told Mr. Coultbard he should treat them as other prisoners • and he thought the gaoler did quite right. He did not say it was unnecessary to cut their hair. He thought it was about tw o'clock when he examined them. They were treated the same as other prisoners. He saw no harshness exercised towards them by the gaoler. The gaoler did not tell him for what complainants were committed. Mr. Robins said he went to the gaol to offer bail about three o'clock. Mr. Fitzjames said—There was no noise ; we merely sang. The turnkey, on being examined, said he did not hear the complainants sing when they were in prison. When the process of "cropping" was going forward, one of the parties being cropped requested that his hair might be left alone,,as he was an actor, and the loss of it would be injurious to him in his business. Ile told them if they did not pick oakum they would have no dinner. One of the Justices said, the case for their consi deration was, whether the officers had exceeded their duty ; and if not, whether they had been harsh in the exercise of it. Mr. Bass submitted that they had done both—that they ought not to have entrapped the surgeon into an order to treat these gentlemen as other prisoners, without having informed him that they were only waiting for bail ; that they had evidently knowledge that bail was about to be given, as a person, in the hearing of the gaoler, had told the parties that he would go and fetch bail, and that the necessity of the case did not require any such severity as had been used ; and he then left the case to the decision of the Bench, quite confident that they would, as well for the sake of justice as for the honour of the town, prevent the perpetration of such outrages by their officers. The Court was then cleared ; and after being in deliberation a considerable time, the parties were called in, and the Mayor said the Bench had, after well weighing the evidence, come to the conclusion that the governor of the gaol was perfectly justified in ordering the hair of the prisoners to be cut off; and, therefore, they dismissed the case.—Kentish Ob server of Thursday. BONFIRE on the TOP of BENEVIS; Although the loyal inhabitants of Fort William and its neighbourhood could not vie with those of many other parts of Scotland; in the extent and variety of their rejoicings, yet they resolved to outstrip every other community in the loftiness of the pile they should raise to welcome Queen Victoria's first visit to this her ancient kingdom. Accordingly, actuated by a keen spirit of loyalty, activity, and perseverance, tar-barrels, and other materials were, with much dif ficulty and danger, conveyed to the top of " Old Ben," the highest mountain in her Majesty's dominions, and a bonfire there lighted up, which, had the weather been propitious, might have slanted down a cheering ray of recognition and welcome on Benmacdhu, Ben lotnond, the Ochills, or even Arthur's Seat and the Castle of " Auld Reckie." 11' hile the bonfire blazed on the mountain a Royal salute was fired from the old Castle of Inverlochy (now the property of the Hon. R. C. Scarlett), around whose ancient walls an immense concourse of people had assembled to witness the rejoicings, and dedicate a bumper of the real mountain dew (from Benevis dis tillery, the most famed for its whisky in the three kingdoms) to the health, long life, and happiness of cur young Queen, and a hearty welcome to her an 1 Prince Albert, on the shores of old Scotia. Apart from the cause of our rejoicings, the asso ciations cotmeeted with the spot—the old castle, where treaties are said, once on a time, to have been signed betwixt Charlemagne -of France and the early Kings of Scotland, with the battle-field betwixt Montrose and Argyll immediately under its walls, the noble river, and the wild grandeur el the surrounding mountain scene, all combined to stir up no ordinary emotions, and give no ordinary character to the proceedings of this eventful day. Notwithstanding the latter part of the evening was somewhat damp and hazy, still this circumstance neither checked the ardour nor concealed the loyalty of the Highlanders.. At this moment the mist hung in dense columns around the rugged side 3 of " the lofty. Benevis," to within a short distance of its summit; over which now and then a p ass i ng c l ou d obscured from our view the burning pile, which at intervals blazed forth with Vesuvian splendour, setting at utter • defiance the dark shades of night that now rapidly set in, while'each gun, as it boomed forth its thunder to the.momaains, followed by the hearty cheers of the multitude, made the wild glens of Locheil, Ardour, and Glennevis, echo back the chorus with, enchanting grandeur. Thus passed by a memorable day in the West High lands, our regrets being loud and long that we had neither loyalty to witness, nor Christopher North to describe, the magnificence of the spectacle by which we were surrounded.--Scotch Paper. The Postmaster-General has decided on returning to the old method of paying the guards on mail coaches los. Gd. per week, and allowing them to take fees from passengers. The guards on railways are still to be paid salaries without fees; but such salaries arc to be on a reduced scale. The cause of the contemplated alteration in the mode of paying the mail-coach guards is, the con tinued discoveries that,they-receive fees.

CutNIE'S KEEPER.—Richard Cartmel (or Carter, as he was generally called), once the keeper of Chunie, the celebrated colossal elephant that was some years since destroyed at Exeter 'Change, died a few days ago at his residence, near the Surrey Zoological Gardens. Cartmel had been for many years head-keeper to Mr. Cross, the proprietor of Exeter'Change, and subsequently of the Surrey Gardens, and was well known to all lovers of zoology and ornithology, as well as to many of the nobility, for whom he was in the habit of purchasing animals and birde, With copiou3 Index and Profitable Hints, APLAIN and PRACTICAL GUIDE to the INCO3 I E-TAX. ti And R Viet..

In another part of the paper will be found an abridged report of the proceedings which took place in the Town Council of Edinburgh on Tuesday, relative to the arrangements, or rather the want of arrangements, for the reception of . her MAJESTY. Mr. Black read a clear statement of all the circumstances which led to the unfor- , tunate result, and a very general opinion pre vailed that the Council were not to blame; but who the real offender was, did not appear. One of the Bailies certainly was in good time, for he reached Granton Pier by three in the morn ing ; yet though he waited till nine with great patience, he too wits taken by surprise. He saw the Royal yacht fairly moored alongside the pier, when Sir R. PEEL and the Duke of BuccLuuch went on board, and, on their return informed him that her MAJEsTv found it necessary to proceed im mediately to Dalkeith, and lrefore he could start off with this intelligence for the. Council the QUEEN was on shore, entered her carriage in a minute, and drove off at such speed that the un fortunate Bailie was compelled to fall into the rear of the procession. We can discover no good reason for such proceedings, nor any reason whatever for keeping the whole affair a secret, as regarded the City authorities, while the time of landing was communicated to the Governor of the Castle, at least two hours before. If the ad visers of her MAJESTY really intended that there should be no presentation of keys, nor other ceremonies—observed on similar occasions—they should have stated their intentionsdistinctly, and left no room for any misunderstanding whatever. On the contrary, they assured a deputation but the day previous that her MAJESTY would make her entrance into the city in such a manner as would be most gratifying to the inhabita n t s; y e t the whole population were taken by surprise, and the Lord Provost and Bailies made the laughing stock of the p u bli c . No wonder that his Lord ship looked sulky during the discussion, a n d ut tered not a word in his own defence. After a long talk, the Council found they could institute no proceedings without the evidence of the military authorities, and doubting their authority to summon them before a Committee, they pocketed the affront, and the meeting was dissolved. ; oppression i n t h e afodrmaihnsisutirlalittiyo-,nand nothing c an we ll cc Justices' Justice" has become a synonyme ignorance, o t h r aenlcae; and exceed the unanimity with which county Ma gistrates endeavour to establish the permanence of its meaning. Now and then a touch of gro tesqueness is added which imparts piquancy to the particular case, as if to arrest, for a moment, the attention of the Press and the Home Secre tary. Such.a case will be found in another part of 7'he Sun, copied from the Kentish Observer. The facts are simply these :—JAsms FITZJAMES and EDWAND GLADsToNE, comedians, were charged at the Dover Police-court with assault ing a Mr. COOPER, for which they were fined in ten shillings, including costs. They were next charged with threatening the life of Mr. COOPER, whereupon they were required to find two sure ties in 201. each to keep the peace . for two months. As it required a couple of hours to find bail they were committed in the mean time to prison, and though they were there only about four hours altogether, their hair was cropp e d, notwithstand ing their protesting that such an indignity would inflict upon them great professional injury. They brought the case before the Magistracy, but after a grave deliberation these legal luminaries decided that the gaoler had only done his duty, an d that there was no redress for the deeply injured comedians. The surgeon examined them, and pronounced them perfectly clean, and the gaoler in his defence pleaded that his orders left him no alternative. Now, if this be the case, it is the duty of the Home Secretary to lose no time in revising these orders. Nor could they be unknown to the Magistrate who committed. these persons to prison to wait fbr bail ; and it was his duty to have directed that the rules of the pzison should not be observed in their 'case.. T h e y were guilty n of no offence punishable by imprisonment, and the only ex cuse for sending them there at all was that they m i g ht be kept in safe custody till the ap• pearance of their sureties. To subject them, therefore, to the treatment of felons and malefactors was preposterousl y unjust, as %yell a cruel. •As regards the gaoler and turnkey, they appear to have acted from feelings of resentment. The persons committed for three or four hours to their custody - did not p ay t h em t h at homage which they conceived to be due to then,. They refused to earn their dinner by picking oakum, which so irritated the gaoler . that he threatened to whip them publicly—that being, it appears, the punishment for break ing the rules. We reheat this is a case for the investigation of the 1 Lo we Secretary, and we only discharge a public duty in calling his attention to it.

By them all it is considered a mov e i n the right direction—a first step towards the establishment of a corn , plete system of representative government. We are of the sam e (m i n ion, but we differ from some of them, who think the measure not suffi ciently liberal. All changes are best made gra . dually, but more especially those from absolute despotism to democracy. Men must be cl: the edu cated to the feet, of freedom, or it is a thou sand to onebut they w ill abuse it. In et, one of the great error s o f reformers in absolute m onarchies is th a t t h e y make changes too saddenly, and as th e y do not produce the an ticipated results ; t h e cons equence is, that they become disgusted, a rindacct ..i liberalfe tt es off the opinions cap tive, a a p l -- tt al together. vgee, p t h l e i rn hii n out' knoel, o n f ? his dtillse, ~, and because .

Millet and Henri, and composed in a great measure of Eng lish houses, and that the contract has been signed by the Minister of Public Work , . This • statement is completely incorrect.—llioniteur. " The Constitutionnel of the 7th has the following remarks on the late ordinance of the King of Prussia:—" There is undoubtedly a very great difference between the rules laid down by the Royal regulation and a series of enactments fixed by a true national representation. What Frede rick - William grants to his subjects is only a sort of consulting government, and the Prince reserves to himself the privilege of pointing out the subjects on which the provincial Governments shall be invited to give their opinion. The very manner in which these Commissions are formed is liable to just ob jections, since the nobility alone will possess the half d i :the votes. But we do not like- judging the work of Frederick William according to our way of think ing. By yielding to the public feeling, by' satisfying, although incompletely, the rights of the Prussian nation, and by having recourse for the acts of his Government to the enlightened assistance of the most notable citizens, the King of Prussia has acted nobly and wisely, and has acquired new titles to the gra titude of his subjects, and the esteem of all enlight ened men. Experience has proved that it is not without profound commotion, that apeople can obtain complete possession of their rights, and if the mode of transition, which Russia will owe to the wise and enlightened mind of her King, shall spare her the perils which attend the establishment of a truly libe ral Government, if it should prepare her for a new position, the ordonnance in question will for ever honour the memory of Frederick William the Fourth." The Toulonnais, of the 4th, says, "It is reported that Admiral Hugon's squadron will soon return to Toulon ; and that there a certain number of sailors will be discharged; it is likewise reported that the command will be given to a Rear-Admiral, and that there will no longer be a Commissary to the squadron. It is also in contemplation to discharge a certain number of workmen employed in the port. Our magazines are almost empty, so that if circum stances should require any new armament, it would be impossible to complete them on account of want of stores of all kinds: No contracts are concluded, only some bargains of small importance are made, and if this continues we shall have to live from hand to mouth.

It is printed in the best style, on one large sheet, and is decorated on the mar gin with the armorial bearings of all the colonies, en graved on wood by . . Williams, under the superinten dence of Mr. Benjamin Wyon, her Majesty's chief engraver of seals. The table exhibits the superficial extent of each colony and dependency, the po pulation, productions, trade, history, language, re ligion, and finances. In addition to ample infor mation on all these heads, it contains tables showing the exports of home manufactures to the colonies, the British shipping employed in colo nial and foreign trade in 1840, the total shipping of the British empire, and the number of ships of war in commission, together with a great variety of information interesting to the public at large. The materials appeared to have been • collected with great labour and research, and the work, inde • pendent of being a great ornament, either for counting houses or chambers, will be fbUnd extremely useful as a table of reference.

SUM ARV OF NEWS AND Vitbitt Opzatoit. " 117 to runs may read.' FOIZEIGN. An express from Dusseldorf states that the King of Hanover is dying, at the palaCe of the Prince of Sorms, in that town. The only articles in the original columns of the French papers, which have any general interest, are in the Colistitutionnel and the - Courrier Francais, on the late ordonnance of the King of Prussia. The Constitutionnel says :—" There is undoubtedly a very great ditlerencg between the rules laid down by th!s Royal regulation, and a series of enactments fixed by a true national representation. What Frederick William grants to his subjects is only a sort of a con sulting Government, .and the. Prince reserves to him self the privilege of pointing Out the subjects on which the provincial governments shall be invited to give their opinion. The very manner in which these commissions are formed is liable to just objections, since the nobility alone will possess the half of the votes. The Courrier Francais has the following :—" The three orders of the States appear in these Committees in very unequal proportions, for the nobility alone has as many members as the two others together. We must add, that this kind of elective council is never to deliberate, and its functionS are limited to replying when consulted, and to give advice which will be fol lowed or not. If King Frederick William has an arriere pensee he will regard the Provincial Com mittees less as the organs of the public will, than as a means of diminishing in the acts of his Government the responsibility which he would otherwise incur. Such a system, however imperfect, will serve as a precedent, and contribute towards preparing the Prus sians for liberty." The Leipsic Gazette states, from Servia, that the investigations into the late conspiracy in that country, and which has been put down, prove that Prince i\lilosch was at the head of it, raid directed the pro ceedings of the conspirators. An accident, which might have been very serious, occurred on the 30th ult. to the Princess de Metter nich and the Countess d'lngelheim, who accompanied her. Just as their carriage arrived at the chateau of the husband of the Countess, the horses took fright, and the carriage was overturned into a ditch. The Princess escaped unhurt, but the Countess received some severe contusions. MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE. One of the principal bakers in Windsor has just agreed to supply the union in that place with bread "of the best seconds flour" at 61d. per 41b. loaf. At the present moment the public are, in most place, paying for the same sized loaf, from 7d. up to 91d. At the fourteenth half -yearly meeting of the Croy don Railway Proprietors, held yesterday, at the Lon don Tavern, it was stated by the - report read, that the expenditure for the half-year amounted to 17,5171., and the receipts to 19,4151., leaving a balance of 1,8971. The Directors have empowered themselves, by a resolution, to raise a furtber capital of 66,0001. At Stockport the Messrs. 13radshaw's factory has continued to work at the old prices, but under guard of the specials. One man, named Allinson, or Elli son, an active agitator, was apprehended yesterday in the act of intimidating one of. the female operatives on the way from her home to' her labour. He was brought up for examination, convicted, and sent to the House of Correction for three months on the charge of intimidation. MAW AND POLICE.

Yesterday a meeting of the merchants, traders, and others who desire to see reforms made in the bank ruptcy laws, was held at the London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving a report from the Committee - ap-' pointed in May last to watch the proceedings in Par liament connected with that subject. They especially expressed themselves satisfied by their report with the declaratory clause, which gives creditors the benefit of any doubts that may arise, and on the whole congra tulates the trades on the passing of this important statute, which comes into force on the 11th November. William Beesley, the • Chartist Lecturer, aftei whom the police have been in quest some weeks, or account of a seditious speech delivered at Pendle-hill, in Lancashire, was taken into custody on Saturday, and was on Wednesday found guilty of the charge, and fully committed to take his trial at the next Lan caster Assizes.
