THUREY. This was a revenue case ; but, immediately after the Jury had been sworn in, the Attorney-General announced that an arrangement had been come to be tween counsellon both sides, to the effect that a ver dict for the sum of 900/. should be entered for the Crown. This verdict was accordingly returned. WORALLL V. JENKINS. This was an action brought to recover the amount due upon a promissory note of 20/. It appeared that a person of the name of Cooke had applied to the Marylebone Joint-Stock Discount and Loan Com pany, for a loan in the commencement of the year 1841.. The. sum of 191. was advanced to him by the CoMpany, upon his giving the present promissory nate; for the payment of which three persons, of the names of Thwaites, Pollyblanke, and Jenkins, the defendant in this case, made themselves sureties. The note was made payable on demand. to 'Messrs. Deakes aald Sodon, the Chairman and Deputy-Chairman of the Company ; but it seemed that there had been. ari understanding between the -parties, • according to the usual mode in which the Compang transacted busi; ness, that the amount might he paid in instalments. Immediately after the present defendant had signed his name as a surety, he found he had reason to think that Cooke was in embarrassed circumstances ; upon which he proceeded to the office of the Company, and informed the Chairman that he wished to have his named removed from the note, the amount of which had not then been paid. Notwithstanding this notice, however, Cooke afterwards received the amount. Two instalments of eight shillings each had been paid by Cooke ; but as he became unable to meet any portion of the remainder, application was made to the three sureties, and Pollyblanke paid to the Company the sum of 101. The sum of 9/. 4s. then remaining due upon it, it passed from the Company into the hands of the present plaintiff. The defendant now pleaded that there had been no consideration for the note paid by the plaintiff; and that the defendant could not be made liable, inasmuch as he had given notice before the note had been cashed, that he would not be a surety for its payment. Mr. Barnard, one of the two attorneys fo the Company, stated in evidence that the note had been put into his hands by his employers, in order that he might take proceedings to recover the amount. Be fore any proceedings were taken by him, the note had been given to 31r. Chapple, the other attorney of the Company, who also acted as attorney for the plaintiff in the present case. Mr. Deakes, the Chairman ;of the Company, de posed to Mr. Jenkins, the defendant in this case, calling at the office of the Company, and giving notice that he wished to withdraw his name from the note, the amount of which had not then been paid. Wit ness refused to allow him to take any step in the matter, as the note was drawn up and the names of the sureties attached to it. The note was dated in the month of February, 1841, and had passed from the hands of the solicitor of the Com pany into those of the present plaintiff at the latter end of that year. 'Witness did not know what con sideration the plaintiff might have given for the note. No further evidence was produced, the Learned Counsel for the defendant contending that it was evi dent that his client could not be made responsible for the payment of the note after the notice he had given of the withdrawal of his name; and, secondly, that there was reason to believe that the present plaintiff was merely a party put forward by the Company to recover the amount due. After some discussion among Counsel, a verdict was returned for the defendant in the sum of 9/. 45., subject to a special case as to whether sufficient evi dence had been given of the allegations advanced in the defendant's plea. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—Except by setting up false claims to the credit of having prosecuted the wars in China and Affghanistan to a successful termination, thus endea vouring to build up a credit for wise policy on the character and conduct of the Whig Gorernment, the Tories —for men recently invested with office, and its usual sources of satisfaction—are the most discon tented of any party in such circumstances of which history supplies an example. It is true, when the Tower guns were fired last week in honour of the gratifying success which has attended the British arms in China and. India, the journals of the party exclaimed, " That's our thunder !" But the dis honesty and folly of the assumption were too palpable to obtain a momentary regard—except, indeed, a laugh at the impudence or ignorance in which the false claim originated. With this exception, the looks of the Tories are pitiably lugubrious ; and their lucu brations are as dismal as their looks. No Conserva tive Festivals have be en held to celebrate theirtriumph, and to afibrd the members an opportunity of congratu lating their supporters on the results in Parliament of their hustings victories. Agricultural dinners have been either scenes of positive strife and mutual up braidings ; or, at the best, the members could only en deavour to console the disappointed farmers with " hopes that things will turn out better than they , fear, thoursh they certainly do look very gloomy." The wages of the farm labourers must be re duced, and fewer hands be employed on the land." say se,me ; " The landlords must come down in their .tents, to meet the depression in prices," exclaim others; while fearful prognostications of the coming events are heard at every fair and market. And yet the, Tories have got Peel. They gave him a good thumping majority, tood, that he might be able to ac complish their wishes ; preserve the Corn and Provision laws from invasion ; and also please the highflyers of the Church by adopting their plans for increasing ita power and extending its influence; multiplying churches and clergymen at the national expense ; and divers other collateral and subordinate means of giving monopoly additional strength, and inspiring bigotry with increased energies. We need not look far for the causes of this open dissatisfaction with their posi tion. Peel, in whom they trusted, has played them false. In every particular which immediately con cerned the cherished interests of those who placed him in office, he has disappointed their expectations. If he has not violated express pledges, he has destroyed hopes—whether justified or not, is not the question. They hoped for. and exp ec t e d f rom Sir R. Peet a far different policy from that he has pursued. They assert that their interests are attacked by the Government which they gave office, that it might defend them against others. " Peel and Perfidy" are regarded, by a large majority of the Tories out of doors, as synonymous terms ; and many of the county Mem bers within the House of Commons are prepared to give effect to the opinions of their constituents, and renounce the leadership of a Minister who has re quired from them a practical abandenment of the professions and pledges by which they obtained their seats in that assemhly. STANDARD.--The Governor-General has issued a proclamation announcing the early retirement of the British army from the Affghan territory, and giving in clear and satisfactory propositions the rea sons for that policy We believe that every one in this cou n t ry was ' prepared for the course which Lord Ellenborough can doubt of • om has adopted • but if any its wisdom, of the proclamation Ameguhstahretem, the reasoning The remove iore their' doubts. inv • taken for a li the of the purpose o f placing oy was ander n the throne a Prince believed to be popular with the majority of the Affghan nation (if a conger i es of reciprocally in -dependent and often hostile tribes can be called a nation), and also believed to be favourably disposed to the BritiSh empire. Both hypothesis proved to be fallacious. The Prince's unpopularity - was demonstrated by his deposition ; his wan t • of fidelity to British interests was no less I • clearly shown by his conduct and the conduct of his family; and, at all events, any engagements made with him were dissolved by his death. The purpose of the invasion having thus wholly failed and failed because it was undertaken upon fallacious grounds, nothing, under ordinary circumstances, would have remained but a retreat from the scene of so great a blunder. But this timely retreat was not resorted to by the wretched British Government of the time, and worse blunders, attended by the most deplorable consequences, ensued—to borrow the words of the proclamation, " Disasters unpa ralleled in their extent, unless by the errors in which they originated, and the treachery by which they were completed." These disasters, dis graceful as all military disasters are, rendered it im possible for Britain to lay down her arms until the disgrace was effected by victory, and until the perfiy of which her gallant soldiers were the victims had been avenged. Both have been gloriously achieved —the whole of the Affghan territory has been overrun by a triumphant army—all its chief cities have been reduced—all its principal fortresses dis mantled —and the tyrant who led in the late war against this empire signally defeated and ignomi niously chased from the country, with, as there is rea son to believe, little prospect of being permitted tr re visit it. Thus the honour of the British arms has been fully vindicated, and no imaginable reason for centinuing a British force in Affghanistan remains. GREAT ANTI-CORN-LAW MEET ING AT HUDDERSFIELD. (Abridged from the Leeds Mercury.) The first of a series of deeply interesting soirees to take place in Yorkshire, in furtherance of the great object of Corn-law repeal, and the destruction of the existing restrictions on the people's food, was cele brated on Friday evening, in the spacious saloon of the Philosophical-hall, Ramsden-street, Huddersfield. The occasion was one of high importance, not only for the dignity and benevolence of the object contem plated, but for the enthusiastic spirit with which the assembly entered into the cause—an assembly of both sexes, of the first respectability, extensive in numbers and intelligent and influential in its character. It was nearly seven o'clock before the tables were cleared, and soon after the spacious I'9orn, gallery, and hall, were crowded to excess. William Brook, Esq., on the mo!ion of Wm. WIL LAN s, Esq., was calledto the chair, wh:: 1 1 1 he proceeded to take amidst loud cheering. The CHAIRMAN, opened the business of the' meeting in a very excellent speech. W. R. C. STANSFIELD, Esq., M.P., moved the Est resolution. It was as follows :—" That this meeting regards the laws which prevent the free importation of foreign corn as the chief cause of the deep, long continued, and increasing distress under which the nation suffers, and looks to the total repeal of those laws as the safest, shortest, andmost effectual remedy." J. BRIGHT, Esq., of RGchdale, seconded the reso lution. H. ASHWORTH, Esq., of Bolton, in an excellent speech, followed Mr. Bright, and was received with great cheering. Mr. COBDEN then rose, amidst great applause, in ' support Cif. the first reiolution. He'said he had heard a reference. to the power-loom and the spinning jenny, and he ifresumed that it Was meant that those inventions were the cause of the present distiess.— (Hear, hear.) Why, if the distress was confined to the worker with power-looms, or hand-looms, or spin ning jennies, there might probably be an easy solu•• tion of their difficulties. But when he had just come from Sheffield, where he had been surprised, on going through the workshops, and found them labouring still with their primitive tools ; where he had mar velled to see with what wonderful dexterity a man would hammer out the finest penknife or razor with a mere hammer and anvil ; when he knew that in the midland counties, where they made hosiery by machinery, which had not been materially altered for two hundred and forty years—(Hear)--to which there had been no application of steam, and when there had been no change of fashion, and no variation whatever, except that there had been more people wearing stockings now than at any time before — (Cries of" Many are without," and loud cheers) — and when he knew that bad as might be their condition in Huddersfield, it was comfort and happi ness compared with the present state of those working as framework knitters in the counties of Leicester and Nottingham ; when he knew these facts, he could not receive the objections to machinery as being a sufficient solution of the difficulties which now beset this country.—(Hear, hear.) Why, if the absence of machinery was calculated to promote prosperity in a community, he thought then that poor un happy Ireland ought to be the most blessed country upon the face of the earth.—(Applause.) But really this question of machinery, if it were pos sible that we could prevent machinery, and if that would do them any good, did appear to him to be quite beside the present question more immediately , in hand.—(Hear, hear.) 'They had a proposition to make to the public mind of this country, which, ; whether there might be fewer or more machines, they held under all circumstances to be necessary for the prosperity of this country.—(Hear, hear.) It had been well stated by his friend, Mr. Bright, that where there was a limited supply of food the limited quantity must fall chiefly upon the working classes, and he (Mr. Cobden) held another proposition which Mr. Bright did not state to them, that all the increase of food that would be brought into the country con sequent upon the repeal of the Corn-laws would all be consumed by the working classes.—(Hear, hear, ' and applause.) If the middle classes now have enough bread, they would not eat more bread if twenty millions of quarters were to be imported next year. He knew a difficulty which some people might entertain on the subject of the importation of corn. It might be argued if a large quantity of corn were imported, it would only diminish production at home, and that it would throw out of employment agricultural labourers to give increased employment to manufacturing operatives. This goes on the sup position of the working classes already having suf ficient food. He maintained that it was an unde niable proposition that of the people of this country not more than three parts out of the four were fed as they ought to be fed.—(Hear.) With regard to the policy of the Anti-Corn-law League in the present movement, and what was intended by the Council to entitle themselves to their confidence, he said that as members of that League they had met that assembly, as they had heard from their worthy chairman and others, with a design of raising a large sum of money for the purpose of effecting a total repeal of the Corn laws.—(Hear, hear.) Now it was right that the gentlemen present who might contemplate aiding themselves—for they would not aid the League more than themselves—it was due to them that they should know who and what the men were who asked for the money, and to what purpose they intended to apply it. The Anti-Corn-law League iWaS founded about four years ago, for the purpose of effecting, by constitutional and legal means, a repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws. They had been industriously at work hitherto, with all the means placed at their disposal—disseminating information, and creating dis cussion to enlighten the public mind upon the subject of these monopolies. It was something new in an L agitation in this country, that the individuals who were taking a prominent part in it were not men ' seeking political objects of any kind.—(Hear, hear.) They came before them as m en o f b us i ness like them . selves, having no objects but these in which the audience were as much interested as themselves— (Hear, hear)—and they came before them pledged that they would follow out the agitation without turning to the right hand or to the left, or seeking any other object. To seduce them from that object they had tempters from above, and tempters from below—th e y had been in the shape of aristocrats themselves, and they had men in the aristocrat ic service masquerading in fustian jackets, for the purpose of tempting r them, if they could, to go from the object. They had not listened to any such temptations—they had not incor porated with their agitation any other object what ever, nor would they.—(Hear, and loud applause.) They (the Council) thought that this was the time, when they had already shaken the fortress, to give a mighty onslaught upon the citadel of corruption itself.—(Applause.) They had already begun an organization which would enable them to distribute such masses of overpowering evidence on the question, as they believed would induce every man who had the candour to avow his belief of the justice and policy of their cause.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The Council of the League had not waited for them to raise the money before they began the process.— (Hear, hear.) They were told by the monopolist press, when they had the hardihood to throw out this proposition to their fellow-countrymen, they might as well have asked for 50,000,000/. as for 50,000/. The Anti-Corn-law League took a very different estimate of the disposition of their countrymen. — (Hear, hear.) Without waiting for the money to be raised, the League had every press in Manchester engaged in their service, preparing the evidence in support of their object which they were going to lay before the country.—(Loud applause.) Well, they might say the monopolists would not read their evi dence; they could not get them to buy tracts and papers. Well, he would tell them another plan the League had adopted in order to put the evidence into every Conservative house and news-room. They i went to the publishers of every magazine in the coup-• I try, and they pail them for stitching in every periodi cal among their own pages, a certain number of pages upon the Anti-Corn-law question, and thus the Duke of Buckingham himself, at his seat at Stowe, finds, every first of th e month, when he rece i ves Blackwood s Magazine, and every other periodical, They had other me ans b y w hi c h t h ey in a tract containing sound doctrin es aga i ns t hi s d a rling tUeonrdnedlatwe'.get evidence into the hand s of every voter in the country ; and were these not the right means to be pursued ?—(Applause.) If they approved of their plans, he called upon them to co-operate in raising the necessary expenses for carrying out the plan , They must put their shoulders to the wheel. They must have advocates. How would they fare in a Court of Justice, if they had ever so good a cause, if they had not money to purchase for themselves an ad vocate.—(Hear, hear.) If they made the electoral body fully acquainted with the clEestion of the Corn laws, they would not have to wait long before that body—the interests of all being inseparably connected with the question—would do justice to the community at large.—(Hear, hear.) It would not be necessary to wait for another general election ; there was magic even in the process of raising 50,000/.—(Cheers.) Mr. Cobden made some further ohservations on the past laborious exertions of the League, by which he considered the struggle for Corn-law repeal had been nearly consummated, and that now speedily the great victory might be realised, concluding his able speech by an appeal for the pecuniary and personal aid of all present.—(Loud and continued applause.) The CH A.IRM AN then put the resolution to the meet ing, which was carried unanimously. J. T. CLAY, Esq., of Rastrick, moved the second resolution, which he read as follows :—" That the partial modification of the Corn-laws which took place during the last session of Parliament, is attri butable mainly to the existence and operations of the Anti-Corn-law League ; and it is only to the influence and exertions of the same Association, im proved and strengthened by an increase of numbers, intelligence, and funds, that this meeting can look with confidence for the ultimate destruction of those laws. Under this conviction, the meeting rejoices in the determination of the Council of the League to adopt a more general and perfect system of agitation, and pledges itself to co-operate heartily in the en deavour to raise the 50,000/. proposed to be ex pended by the League in the prosecution of its laudable designs." He (Mr. Clay) appeared there as the representative of his uncle, a veteran in the cause, though now unable to take a part in their exertions.—(Hear, hear.) His uncle, he had told them, was incapable of exerting himself as he had done, but had still the power to render them the necessary assistance. On his behalf, therefore, he begged to present them with a check for 3001. to wards the fund.—(Tremendous cheering.) P. SCIIWANN, Esq., seconded the resoloution, and humorously alluded to the title of " Corn-law Pope of Huddersfield," bestowed upon him by Mr. Cobden. k Before the separation of the meeting a further sum of 3801. was collected. 'tkunks were then carried by acclamation to the Chairmail, and to the gentlemen who had attended the meeting as a deputation from the Council of the League ; and the meeting, which continued to he e lrowded to the ver . cr last, broke up about eleven o'clock. AMIITJTATION WITHOUT THE KN 0 WLEDGE of the PATIENT. The following " account of a case CY successful am putation of the'thigh during the mesmeric state, with out the knowledge of the patient," was read t o the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society of Londoif. on Tuesday last : " James Wombwell, aged forty-two, a labouring man, a calm and quiet temperament, had suffered for A period of about five years from a painful affection of the left - knee.' On the 21st 'day of June last; he was admitted into the district hospital at'Wellow, near 011erton, Notts, no longer able to work, and suffering much pain. It was soon found that amputation of the leg, above the knee-joint, was inevitable ; and it was eventually proposed that it should be performed, if possible, during mesmeric sleep. " At half-past one o'clock," continues the narra tor, " we proceeded to Wombwell's room, to make the necessary arrangements. From the suffering in flicted by the slightest movement, it was found im possible, without needless torture, to place him upon a table. The low bed, on which he then lay, was therefore lifted upon a temporary platform. Ten minutes after being mesmerised, he was drawn, by means of the bed clothes beneath him, to wards the end of the bed. The movement, however, excited that pain which had so often aroused him be fore ; and now it did so again. There was something quite excruciating in the suffering which the state of the knee produced ; for I had seen him, whilst in mesmeric sleep, pricked to some little depth, in other parts of the diseased limb, without being disturbed or conscious of it. To preclude the necessity of any further movement, his leg was now placed in the most convenient position which he could bear. Shortly afterwards, he declared that the pain had ceased ; and I again mesmerised him, in four minutes. In a quarter of an hour I informed Mr. Ward that he might commence the operation. I then brought two fingers of each hand gently in contact with Wombell's closed eyelids, and there kept them still further to deepen the sleep. Mr. Ward, after one earnest look at the man, slowly plunged his knife into the centre of the outer side of the thigh, directly to the bone, and then made a clear incision, round the bone, to the opposite point, on the inside of the thigh. The stillness at this moment was something awful. The calm respiration of the sleeping man alone was heard ; for all other seemed suspended. In making the second incision the position of the leg was found more inconvenient than it had appeared to be, and the operator could not proceed with his former facility. Soon after the second incision a moaning was heard from the patient, which continued, at intervals, until the conclusion. It gave me the idea of a troubled dream ; for his sleep continued as profound as ever. The placid look of his countenance never changed for an instant ; his whole frame rested, uncontrolled, in perfect stillness and repose; not a muscle or nerve was seen to twitch. To the end of the operation, including the sawing of the bone, securing the arteries, and applying the band ages—occupying a period of upwards of 20 minutes— he lay like a statue. Soon after the limb was removed, his pulse becoming low, from the loss of blood, some brandy and water was poured into his throat, which he swallowed unconsciously. As the last bandage was applied I pointed out to one of the surgeons and an other gentleman present that peculiar quivering of the closed eyelids already alluded to. Finally, when all was completed, and Wombwell was about to be re moved, his pulse being still found very low, some sal volatile and water was administered to him : it proved too strong and pungent, and he gradually and calmly awoke. "At first he uttered no exclamation ; and, for some moments, seemed lost and bewildered; but, after looking around, he exclaimed, I bless the Lord to find it's all over He was then removed to another room ; and, following immediately, I asked him in the presence of those assembled to describe all he felt or knew after he was mesmerised. His reply was, I never knew anything more ; and never felt any pain at all. I once felt as if I heard a kind of crunching.' I asked if that were painful ? He replied, No pain at all ! I never had any, and knew nothing till I was awakened by that strong stuff' (the sal volatile). The crunching,' no doubt, was the sawing his own thigh bone. He was left easy and comfortable, and has since slept well, and is safely recovering.", This statement is signed and authenticated by W. Topham, Esq., of the Middle Temple. Mr. Ward also has given his own account, which bears exact testimony to every circumstance recited above. SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28, 1842. HAMBURGH MAIL. NUREMBURG, Nov. 16.—We are able to commu nicate to our readers, on authority which may be de pended upon, the agreeable news that the conclusion of the convention with Austria, relative to the Post office, is not the only advantage, for which Bavaria will be indebted to the Government in the year 1842.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 213. (Sittings in Banco after Term.) THE QUEEN V. KENRICK AND ANOTHER. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of Saturday.) Lord DENMAN said the matter was one of very great importance, and that, therefore, the Court would take time to consider its judgment. STAINES PETTY SESSIONS. Mr. John Yeldham, 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, Esqs.,!the 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, 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 to all the public-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. Thighes then seeing that he, defendant, also dealt in ale and stout, became very thirsty, and begged -him to sell him a pint of:ale. Dereadant,liowever,..gave them a glass each, for wilichrHughes pressed him to take the money, but lie fortunately refused to kloso f 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 CuAmmAN, in strong terms, deprecated the conduct of the supervisor, and expressed his utter detestation of such a system of entrapping; and The BENCH having conferred together, expressed their regret that an offence having been legally com mitted against the Excise-laws, they were bound to convict Mr. Yeldham. They would, however, miti gate the penalty to the lowest moiety, viz. 251., and would, one and all, support any memorial the defen dant might address to the Commissioners of Excise, for a total remission of the penalty ; and would take care that a circumstantial account of the transaction should be laid before the Excise Board. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) 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 attendance, 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 be e n received, but that no official ;,inform a ti on 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 MAYOR 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. CITY POLICE COMMITTEE. Mr. Farrow, landlord of the Three Tuns Tavern, in Fetter-lane, Fleet-street, appeared before the sit ting Magistrate, Mr. Alderman Gibbs, to answer a charge brought 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 Tuesda = y 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 GIBBS—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 4d. 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 butfor the women being bad characters, which fact was well-known by Mr. Farrow's servants and the barmaid. - Mr. Alderman Ginas—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 Gruns—Were they doing no more than drinking gin when you entered the house ? In spector—They were not, Sir. Mr. Alderman (I -Inns—Were they creating any disturbance ? Inspector—None whatever. Mr. Alderman. Gallas—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. The fines enforced were from Os! to 10s., or a week's imprisonment. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. The somewhat nove l c i rcums t ance o f a Scotchwo man being charged with begging occurred on Saturday brought in a neatly at this Court. The policeman on duty in Hyde Park dressed woman, with a very hand some little gi r l, h er daughter, and stated to Mr. Hard wick that h e h ad seen them accost, passengers i n th e Park, and as k t h em for " t i c k ets ." The wo man made this statemen t. Sh e had come all the way from Kilmarnock to gain intelligence of her husband,. P atr i ck Moran, o f th e Royal Irish, from the War-offic e . ten three l to the War-office, asking to know .times When at Kilmarnock she had writ whether her hu s b an d was a li ve 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 t ow ards the support of his family, but this she co u ld not d o un til 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 petition 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 SUMMONSLS.—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 about a quarter or twenty minutes past four. - Mr. Crisp declared that he saw the charity children come out of church before he attempted to open his house. Mr. Holt said he sent to the church, and on being assured the service was over he opened his house. It was the circumstance of seeing the children in the streets that induced both defendants to believo the service was ended. Mr. ITAanwicK said it was very likely such a mis take 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. SOUTH. DERBY CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION FRACAS. Undeterred by the ill-success of the masquerade scene of pseudo Tory operatives, the Tory registra tion gentlemen tried to muster a dinner party. Some of those they invited, however, had to see to their farms, or merchandise, and begged to be excused ; others, perhaps, had married wives, and therefore they could not come, so that all South Derby could do out of regard for the Registration Committee of her sitting Members, was to assemble some forty or fifty persons•—certainly not more—to hear a repeti tion of the nonsense which was uttered by the same speakers at their last Operative feasting. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Chandos Pole) called upon Sir Seymour Blane to propose for a toast, " The Magistrates of the county." Now, Sir Seymour Blane, having a proper regard for etiquette, and being anxious as a gentleman not to display any 'aucherie or incompleteness in «hat he did, re-muddled this decapitated toast, and fitting it with a becoming head, proposed the healths of " The Lord Lieutenant and the Magistrates of the county." The Lord Lieutenant! Hinc Ulm lachryine ! When the proposal fell upon the ears of the little knot of Tory gentlemen some thing like silence ensued, and in a true Jack Cade spirit they refused any applause to the toast, and Duke and Magistrates were passed over together, with a devil-may-care swagger by the lovers of con stituted authorities ! Mr. CHANDOS POLE, we hear, remonstrated in a sotte voce tone with Sir Seymour Blane, on his having completed the imperfect topic entrusted to his care, and wondered what active feelings of propriety could have induced him not to snub the Lord-Lieutenant while proposing the body of inferior Magistrates. Sir Seymour Blane had too nice a sense of what was due to himself as a gentleman to listen to the imperti nent rebuke of Mr. Chandos Pole, and with the feel ing of a high mind indignant at the low practices of his party, the worthy Baronet immediately left the room, and refused to take further part in such un mannerly revels. Gentlemen were sent after him to persuade him to return, but the Baronet was properly punctilious, and would do no such thing. A sensa tion was caused in the assembly, and the meeting was broken up in great confusion.—Derby Reporter. 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 language and threats alluded to. Mr. TRAIL', 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. TR ATLI. 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. 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, narned.Childs, on a charge of being in possession of 40lbs. 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 office with the charge. Mr. BALLANTINE 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 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. lle 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.BAn.ANTzNI—Who does the ship belong to ? Seaman—Messrs. Forster and Co., of l3ishopsgate 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 learing of these complaints. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury.) FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, Nov. 25.—The effect produced upon this market by the highly grati fying news from China and India, has already, in some measure, been perceptible a material improve ment may now be looked for, both in regard to an in creased amount of busine3s and the prices demanded. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, Nov. 25.—We have not any alteration to report in this branch of trade during the present week, either as to demand or prices. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Nor. 25.—For some weeks past, we had little or no variation in any branch of the wool trade, nor can we yet report any 'improvement; we may, however, anticipate that the cheering news from India and China will, in a few days, produce a favourable impression, and cause an improvement in the demand ; stocks of combing wools are becoming more ample. Prices are nominally the same as last week. There is no inquiry for blanket wools. TRADE or LEEDS.—For goods of a general de scription the markets at both our cloth halls have been quite as dull this week as last, but there are a few orders out for light goods for the India market, and in consequence there has been more done in this description of goods than for some time past. The manufacturers who have been in the habit of making goods adapted for the China market (some of whom have held heavy stocks since the commencement of the war), are now in hopes of soon being enabled to dis pose of their goods. On the whole, the hope of a re vival of our trade generally in the spring is enter tained by many of the manufacturers, and in conse quence there is a much better prospect of employment for the operatives during the winter. The season being now far advanced, there is, as usual, little doing in the warehouses. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—In the Piece market we have nothing favourable to offer to our friends to-day ; everything appears slow, and the quantity of plain goods cleared off hardly an average. The Fancy trade still continues in the same awfully depressed state, and the little business that is doing only adds pressure on the before exhausted position of the manufacturers who have already felt that the over production of this article last autumn has re coiled with unexpected and unprecedented sacrifice. We cannot quote any alteration for the better in Yarn, and if the increase of the number adopting short time be any criterion, we may fairly infer the trade is getting worse. We trust the adoption of this salutary mode will tend to prevent any further de cline in prices. Since our last report there is very little alteration in wool. The stocks in our staplers' hands are rather on the increase, especially of the descriptions most in request. Hogs, which have so long been a drug in the market, continue in the same dull state ; this applies also to combing Downs, which are almost unsaleable. In clothing wools there is a little mole animation, and the stocks of noils and short wool are nearly all cleared off. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have had a regular, and it may be said, a good demand for all sorts cf cloths up to Monday last; but on Tuesday, consequent on the favourable news from China and India, the market assumed a very curious and almost indescribable appearance. Some manufacturers, espe cially of cloths adapted for the above markets, and of which there were previously no stocks, asked as much as 9d. a yard advance, which, on its then value, is equal to 10 or 12 per cent. This of course was not acceded to by the buyers, at least in the early part of the day. There is, however, no doubt, that in a few cases a large advance was paid, but the general opinion is that 6d. may be fairly quoted as the amount of im provement on previous rates. In other sorts of power and hand-loom goods, varying indeed from 14-d. to 3d. a piece, equal to about 5 per cent., and the market closed very firmly at these rates. Tweeds partook also of a general, but not so quiet an advance, as did cloths. The market, on the whole, was of a cheering character, as compared with what we have experienced for a long time past. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. — The works of the new building erected on the site of Astley's Amphitheatre are in a state of great forwardness. The external portion of the building has been for some time com pleted, and the interior nearly so. The artists in the decorative department are busily engaged in carrying forward their operations, and there is no doubt that the whole will be completed before Easter; NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

BRISTOL, Nov. 24.—Yesterday morningan intima tion was conveyed to the Coroner for this City, J. B. Grindon, Eq., that a man named Samuel Brittan who resided in Little Ann-street, St. Philips, had died in consequence of some wounds which were id . flitted on him in the early part of last month, by the landlord of a public-house in Mendip, on the road to Wells, called the Hunter's Lodge. Upon receiving this information the Coroner warrant for holding an inquest on the body, and a Jell was summoned to meet this day at the New Dint Lawford's-gate. prom ptly issued W s The nature of the wounds having been defined, John Day deposed that he was a hawker, and re sided in Dean-street, Bedminster.
