GLOBE.—The Anti-Corn-law League held a meeting on Thursday at Manchester, when 1VI:r. C0134 , .ui made a very powerful and effective speecit in favour of" total and immediate repeal;" for which it seems the League are determined to use the utmost energy in contending. The coat dente whlch is shown by the Corn-law Re-• ea ters in the justice of their cause affords the t est ground fbr anticipating their ultimate sac ,- ass. They appear anxious to impreAs oth:tl.s with the truths of which they are them:- belt es convinced ; feeling assured that the prilciples they hold, when once fairly brougit bef: ;re the public, cannot fail to - be recognised. Th.:. re is no doubt that, feeling as they do thejustice of fteir cause, the Anti-Corn-law party will sac 'oecl in bringing conviction to the minds al othk2rs. It need hardly be said, that if the people once fairly determine on the necessity for total: repeal, there will be no possibility of withholding it. As Mr. Cobden well observed, the House of Co:amons " answers to the changes in public °pi:lion as sensitively, and almost as instantly, as the vessel on the ocean answers to its helm." But it must be the opinion of the public in its widest sense, and not the conviction of a party, however numerous and respectable, that wit t guide the conduct of the people's repre ser. tatives. It is for this reason that Mr. Cob den is desirous of making that which is the • lion of those who have, without prejudice we.glied the subject, the opinion of the nation at large. When this result is achieved, he knows that his cause must triumph. He has fait in the excellence of the arguments to be ad , aced in favour of repeal, and for this reason he recommends "publishing them in news pa and stitching them in magazines month aft .r month, in order that the people may be te: ipted and forced to read them. If they were fal acies that he thus proposes to disseminate, th, y would never work their way to the convic tic. is of the people; but knowing them to be trt:ths, he will not be deceived in the hope that the. greater the energy shown in circulating them through the country, the sooner will the tin .• arrive for their being adopted and acted on. STA ND ARD.—From the intelligence brought by the Overland Mail, it seems to be certain the-: Lady Sale and her fellow-prisoners are not mcrely well, but kindly treated. They are pin ced in a fortress of considerable extent, at a di: :trice of four or five miles of Caubul, and in ads! tion to the full liberty of the whole circuit of this fortress, they are permitted to make excursions at pleasure in the neighbourhood, and to the city, while all their comforts are amply pr(.vided for. What adds infinitely to the grafi tion which these facts afford, is the knowledge th: t the kind treatment of the prisoners is no efl.-et of a tyrant'a caprice, or policy, but the re tail tof a necessity on his part. The people and the clkiefia, upon whom he is dependent for eve ey hour of life, feel the true nature of heir position—feel that they are utterly in etri4ble of offering any resistance to the ap prt-fa,ehing• British army : they thus regard the Tr as hostages, and as indeed the only se .:or.ty, for their safety, and therefore it is that they` - compel Akbar Khan to do violence to his sa - age nature, and treat his captives with hu m Already it appears that the prisoners ax ~,.; t reated by the mass of the people as medi ae.-es, and expected protectors. Akbar Khan hi Aself appears to be placed in circumstances of th • greatest difficulty. Lately he was left without as ogle supporter among all the associated chiefs, an t compelled to stoop to become the vizier of a de cendant of Shah Soojah (the rival of his fall• er), whom he has proclaimed King, in ore or to retain either the substance or the se: iblance of power. Generals Sale and Pc :lock will know how to avail themselves of such a state of affairs, and it is not improbable th .t the march to Caubul, the recovery of the pr t o ners, and an honourable peace, may be of rcted without another shot fired. It does not di r.inish this probability, on the other hand it gr any augments it, that the military operations ag ti ast Caubul are proceeding upon a scale and wit' c a firmness to ensure success against any po' Aible amount of resistance. General Nott's fox -e in Candahar (the western army) are eva cut tin; that province (probably finally), but by an tdvance, and not by a retrograde movement; thi ' force is marching upon Caubul from the sot and west, while, on the other side, Ge ne , :ls Sale and Pollock are making active pre pa 'ttions to meet their gallant countrymen and fe, ,w-soldiers at that city. We have already sp 1t ,-!n of the moral effect produced upon the ix:- ; tants and the neighbouring chiefs by a klrf ,wledg,e of these movements. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

'he first bills returned were as William Moor ho Wild, James Wild, Stephen Shirt, Jo. = Fairhurst, and Samuel Lees, for a conspiracy am riot. There was subsequently added James one of the Hollinzworth rioters, who asked to be along with the other conspirators. After the exa .11nation of the witnesses, and Lord Abinger had deli ered his charge, e Jury expressed a wish to retire with reference to c, le prisoner. They did so at half-past three,und, tifte - ;• an absence of half an hour, returned into Court wits a verdict of Guilty on all the counts ag inst the wEt :e of the prison ers , w i t h the exception of Shirt, who way. found guilty on the second count. The pri sw .n..s were then ordered to stand down. NISJ PRIUS COURT. -(Before - Mr:- .gb,roll ALDERSON.) r;IIURSDA OCT. 6.—Jantes Kershaw. William Ma , tin, and Joseph Taylor were charged with having felo liously thrown down and destroyed a lock on the Pee Forest Canal, in company with others, with a vies ,• to obstruct the traffic on the line of the canal. 'aylor was acquitted, but the Jury returned a vex' act of Guilty against Martin and Kershaw. aylor was subsequently indicted for a conspiracy 11arple, and found Guilty. FRIDAY, OCT. 7.—Several persons were convicted during the day of unimportant charges of rioting at Bollington. APPREHENSION OF MORE CHAR- TISTS AND RIOTERS AT MANCHESTER. On Wednesday last, a man named James Chippen dale, a journeyman sawyer, living at Halifax, was apprehended at that town by Feathers, of the Halifax police. On Thursday night, a man named Thomas Guest was apprehended in his own dwelling in Sal ford. On Thursday, John Eccles, a watchman at the foundry and works of Messrs. Nasmyths and Gaskell,. at Patricroft, was apprehended there by Superinten dent Wovenden. They were examined at the New Bailey yesterday, Chartisti'and rioters, and the result was as follows: Guest was committed for trial, at the Special As sizes, commencing on Monday, at Liverpool, the amount of bail required being two sureties in 60/. each. James Chippendale, for conspiracy, was remanded till to-morrow (Friday). John Eccles, for sedition, was committed for trial at the approaching Special Commission; the amount of bail to be taken being fixed, as in the case of the three prisoners, Williams, Braid, and Forrest, com mitted in August last, for the part they took in the same proceedings, at two sureties in 601. each.; GERMAN CUSTOMS UNION. (From the Canstitutionnel.) The German Customs Union, such as it exists at present, was definitively fixed in 1834, and compre hends a population of 26,048,970 inhabitants—of whom 14,319,711 reside in Prussia, 4,319,887 in Ba • varia, 1,667,901 in Wurtemberg, 1,652,114, in Saxony, 652,761 in Electoral Hesse, 792,736 in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, 941,580 in the Thuringian Asso ciation, 1,264,614 in the Grand Duchy of Baden, 383,730 in the Duchy of Nassau, and 63,936 in the free town of Frankfort. The consumption of colonial produce has gradually been on the increase since the formation of the Union. Thus the imports of sugars and molasses which, in 1837, was only 422,600 metri cal quintals, were, in 1840, 512,136, giving an average of 2 kilogrammes a head. In 1841, the imports did not altogether reach 500,000; but, if the quantity of home-made sugar which has been consumed be added, there will be 2 kilo. 60 per head, and this average, in 1833, amounted only to 1 kilo. 77. It appears, there fore, that the consumption of sugar is almost as great in Germany as with us. In England it is 8 kilo. per head; in the Netherlands, 61 kilo.; in Belgium, 21 kilo. ; and in the Austrian Government some what less than half a kilo. The imports of coffee were, in 1839, about 275,900 metrical quintals, being 18,000 more than in 1837, and nearly a kilo. per head . The con sumption of tea is insignificant in Germany, and kas been stationary since 1836. One of the most remarkable symptoms of the increase of business in the As sociation is the prodigious increase of the coal-trade. In 1831, the quantity raised in Prussia, from the pits amounted to 13,600,000 metrical quintals; in 1836, 18,000,000, and in 1839, upwards of 24,000,000. This last quantity is valued at 19,000,000 f., and more than the half of it was exported. It is the Rhe- Dan province which for the most part supplies the wants of other countries, and which furnishes such large quantities of coal. The whole of the combustible minerals raised in the year 1839 is valued at 20,500,000 f., the metals raised at 28,000,000 f., and the salt at 6,500,000 f., giving a total of 55,000,000 f. for the whole of the minerals obtained in the kingdom of Prussia only. In 1835, this amount was only 36,800,000 f. • the surplus arising principally from the increase of coals, iron, copper, salt, and alum. In the amount of 1839, there is not included the produce of quarries, the asphalt and quicksilver amounting to 3,600,000 f. more. In the other States of the Union, the metallurgical affairs have followed the same upward movement, and, in this respect, Saxony particularly is on the increase. Trades and manufactures are also im proving, and there is scarcely anything but hand weaving that has fallen off. The less important hranches of manufacture, as well as those of silk, cot ton, and wool, are increasing prodigiously. The comparative revenue of the customs will give a tole rably exact idea of this advance. The net receipt of the customs' duties in the Union, in 1834, was 59,000,000 f. ; in 1837, 74,000,000 f. - and 1839, 83,500,000 f. Of this last amount, there are about 3,500,000 f. of export duties. The articles which have paid the most are sugars, wines, and tobaccos. These articles have produced more than 50,000,000 f., manu factured articles, and the objects necessary for their production, have given the rest. It is evident from this that manufactured goods are not very heavily taxed. In fact, the cotton threads, which were brought into the territory of the Union in 1839, and which represent a value of more than 63,000,000 f., paid only 3,500,000 f. duty. After the articles which we have named came woollen and cotton cloths, articles in iron and steel, fruits from the south, cattles, silks, groceries, brandies, oils, corn, &c., as those which have produced most money to the revenues of the Union. Prussia, which in 1834 obtained more than 58 per cent of the amount of the custom receipts, in 1839 had only 54 per cent. Bavaria's share was 161 per cent.; Saxony, 6 1-3; Wurtemberg, about the same; the Grand Duchy of Baden, 4 4-5 ; Electoral Hesse, 3 ; the Thuringian Association, 3 ; the Duchy of Nassau, 11 ; and the town of Frankfort not altogether, 1 per cent. The average of all the imports for the years 1837, 1838, and 1839, is found to be 280,000,000 f. The principal imports have been cotton threads, sugar, coffee, drugs, raw skins, indigo, silks, cattle, tobacco, &c. The exports also represent an average sum of 280,000,000 f. for the same period, and consist principally in cotton goods, amounting to 63,000,000 f. ; corn, 43,000,000 f. ; woollen cloths, 36,000,000 f. ; linen and hemp goods, 34,500,000 E ; and wrought metals, 17,000,000 f. The manufac tured goods, of which the exports have particularly increased, are cotton and woollen cloths, silks, hard ware, and earthenware. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, OCT. 7.—Our offices are well supplied with samples, but the greater part on show are of a description not wanted. The low prices of refined goods afford no encouragement to the manufacturer to work, and the grocery demand seems to be confined almost exclusively to the better sorts, which are very scarce. The result is, that low, grey, and soft sugars are declining daily in value, whilst any thing good or bright readily fetch extreme prices.—Bristol Mercury. DRAYTON MANOR, THURSDAY.—The Earl of Aber deen and Lord Stanley hare joined the party assembled here to meet his Imperial Highness the Archduke Fre deric's. of Austria. His Excellency Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, has left for Chandos House. Dr. Whitfield, the botanist, has lately returned from Africa, with a large collection of rare plants and animals. They have been consigned to Knowsley Park. The Doctor has devoted upwards of a quarter of a century to his favourite pursuit, and in the course of that time has visited the, four quarters of the globe. His last voyage was undertaken expressly at the request of the Earl of Derby, who has in his menagerie many objects totally unknown in our public collections. EER MAJESTY'S BRIGA NTINE BONETTA.-0 10 atten tion having been directed to an account given in the In dependent, of the 2d April last, of an action between the boats of the Bonetta, and an armed slaver, we find that we entirely omitted the name of a gallant officer, Mr. Macleod B. Cockraft, Mate, who was at that time iu command of the Bonetta, Lieutenant Austen beinz in sick quarters at Ascension, and Mr. Kenyon not having joined when the action took place.—Devonport lndepen. SHEERNESS, OCT. 4.—An order has been received here to increase the complement of the Camperdown to the peace establishment crew ; she will therefore carry 620 men. Volunteers are coming forward smartly for the navy ; the Ocean has now a full complement of men, who have been entered for general service, and in conse quence of their coming forward so fast they are drafting all the Ist class boys from the Ocean to the Camper down. A number of very fine young fellows are amongst the general service volunteers at this port, which gives a very striking proof that the new regulations in the ser vice are duly appreciated by them.—Devoifort In depend. The Marquis and Marchioness of Waterford, after a residence of a fortnight at Ford Castle, Northumber land, have taken their departure from that ancient ba ronial mansion. The Noble Marquis and Marchioness were escorted to the extremity of their estate by the stout yeomanry on his' Lordship's demesne on horse back ; and, indeed, their leave was only equalled by the enthusiastic display with greated their arrival at the Castle from Ireland. Many of the poor cottagers have been visited by the amiable Marchioness, accompanied by the Marquis, and we happy to hear, by their consi derate benevolence, the hearth of many a humble cot tage has been gladdened. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Earl March, and Lady Caroline Lennox, and a party visiting at Gor don Castle, were to leave that princely seat on Tuesday last, for Inverness, to be present at the Northern Meet ing. Th e N o bl e Duke is patron of that, annual exhibi tion of Highland games, and the Marquis of Douro, Lord Lovat, Lord Ward, Hon. W. Fraser, Cluny Macpherson, I and The Chisholm, are the stewards this year. The meeting was to commence on Wednesday last. Two eagles of extraordinary beauty have lately been shot by sportsmen in the environs of Mans (Swale). One is the Falco branchydactylus ' which was brought down at C ou l a i nes, and the other aFalco haliactus, killed at Yvre-le-Poulin. This list, when struck, had in its talons a carp of two pounds weight. The Marquis and Marchioness of Normanby, after visiting the Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth, and Earl Fitzwilliam at Wentworth House, went to Ravens worth Castle, Durham, the seat of her Ladyship's father, Lord ltavensworth, to join the distinguished circl e invited to meet their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Cambridge and Duchess of Gloucester. Her Royal loanucdesatesre,kcatccpoamrtpy, left ied the Highness R D_uachyeenssmvort of Lord and Lad y G li Castle on Tuesday last, attended by Lady Caroline L egg e, for Alnwick Castle, to honour the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland with a visit. The Royal Duchess was received' with all the honours due to her elevated station. Yesterday Mr. Blackburne received an official noti fication of his appointment to the Mastership of the Rolls. We hear it is likely that Alphabet Smith will advance to the Attorney-Generalship—a very sudden jump from the Solicitor -Generalship.—D /46411E1:en. Post. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

SPECIAL COMMISSIONS. STAFFORD, WEDNESDAY.—The close of our last information on this trial left Mr. ALLEN addressing the Court on behalf of the prisoners Edge, Harris, Millington, Cartledge, Williams, and the two Musts. The Learned Counsel, in concluding his address, re marked upon the evidence in the case of the other prisoners, pointing out the features of doubt and dis crepancy that presented themselves in each. He would remind the Jury that the charge did not carry with it the punishment of death; but 'that should not prevent them from weighing every point of the case with the greatest caution and accuracy. They stood there as fathers, husbands, and sons, liable at the ver dict to be pronounced by the Jury to be torn from their families and friends—they stood there with all the wealth and influenceof the Crown arrayed against them, with nothing but their poverty and the weak ness of the evidence to defend them. Under these circumstances he left the case in their hands, with the fullest confidence that they would give it, in all its bearings, their calm and deliberate consideration, and that they would, should any doubt arise in their minds, give the unfortunate persons at the bar the full benefit of that doubt. Mr. HUDDLESTON then addressed the Jury on be half of R. Wright. The Learned Gentleman com mented at some length upon the evidence against his client, and concluded by submitting that there were such circumstances of doubt and suspicion connected with the evidence of the two persons who had spoken as to Wright, that the Jury could not possibly find a ver dict upon it. The - CHIEF JUSTICE inquired whether the other prisoners had anything to say in their defence ? Saunders declared his innocence, and said he had no means of obtaining legal assistance. Wagstaff, on being called upon, said there was a gentleman in Court who, he had no doubt, would give him a character. Sampson Whitehouse had some witnesses as to his character. Thomas Cotton declared that he was stopped by the I mob, and when he got to Dr. Vale's the windows were all broken. He had got amongst these fellows, and they rushed him into where the liquors were, and forced him to drink. He was a hard-working man, and had been forced off from his work by the mob. Samuel Eaton said he was forced from his work at Lane-end. That he ran and concealed himself in an ash tree. He was afterwards sent by a clerk of Mr. Shepper's to go and assist in putting out the fire. William Bradbury, Josiah Gilbert, Thomas Banks, John Owen, and John Powell declined saying any thing. On behalf of Whiston, Mr. Price called Mr. Owen, who knew the prisoner for 15 or 16 years, but had not heard much of him for the last three or four years, as he had gone to reside in an • other part of the district. He had never heard any thing against him before. Charles Hackney—Knew him several years. He was always a sober steady man, and a member of the Methodist connection. Mr. Pool gave similar testimony. Mr. Nathan, of Point, innkeeper ; Samuel Swann, police constable ; and some others, gave Toft a good character. Thomas Hartshorn, Esq. , Magistrate of the county, Phillips and Smith also received, good characters. gave Shaw a good character. Jackson, Dimmock, Edge, Joseph Saunders, Cart ledge, Millington, Williams, Powell, James Hurst, Richard Wright, Whitehouse, and Bradbury, also called witnesses to character. The examination of these witnesses on the part of the several prisoners lasted from three in the after noon till half-past six o'clock. The CHIEF JUSTICE inquired of the Solicitor-General whether he would then proceed with his reply, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he was in the hands of the Court. The CHIEF JUSTICE said it was not his intention to sum 'up the evidence that evening. He did not think it right, in a case which involved the interests of so many prisoners, to go over such a lengthened examination at a time when the attention of the Jury must be completely exhausted. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL would leave it to the Jury to decide whether he should address them then or in the morning. The Jury were unanimous in favour of an adjourn ment. The CHIEF JUSTICE did not think the interests of the Learned Solicitor-General would suffer by a postponement to the following morning. The Court then adjourned till half-past eight the following morning, and the Jury were again com mitted to the charge of the constables for the night. In the course of the day the Grand Jury came into Court with a large number of bills which had been found by them ; among others, true bills against William Ellis (whose case was referred to by the Learned Chief Justice, in his address, as having been committed upon a charge of high treason), for sedi tion, and against Arthur O'Neil, another Chartist orator, for sedition. A bill has been also found, for the same offence, against Cooper, of Leicester. It is understood that the three Judges will preside in different courts to-morrow, and that one of the first oases taken will be the horning and demolition at Lord Glanville's, in which .a large number of persons are implicated, and which :is said to present features of a much more serious character than that of Dr. Vale's case. _ • ---- THURSDAY. — The Judges took their seats this morn ing at half-past eight o'clock. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL p roceeded to address the Jury in reply, at great length, and went through the whole of the cases of the prismers consecutively, re marking upon the evidence as it affected each. He concluded by remarking that h e had no doubt, what ever the verdict might be that should be given, it would be a verdict of justice. The CHIEF JUSTICE then summed up to the Jury. The prisoneri were indicted for riotously as sembling and beginning to destroy, and for de molishing and destroying, the dwelling-house of Dr. Vale. It was not necessary, in order to establish the guilt of the prisoners, that the wit should have been fulfilled; but if they were proceeding in the work of destruction, and were interrupted in their wicked de sign, that would be sufficient to establish the guilt of the prisoners. The evidence wits clear that as early as twelve o'clock they were in the town, near Dr. Vale's, and, after committing soi ne acts of violence there, proceeded to his house. The first question they would have to decide was, -who were the parties who combined and acted in concec •t for the purpose of committing these acts of destruction. They (tl - }e Jury) could have no doubt that but for the inter ference that had taken place, the house would have been utterly destroyed and demolished, and he did not think the Act made any distinction. as to the mode in which that destruction was effectei—whether by fire of the prisoners were en or by pulling dem n was e qually within the meaning of the Act. Th e y wou ld s ay whether all or any in that demolition and destruction. H a d th e mob contented themselves with destroying th e f urn iture and burning it i n f ron t offence had been m a d e out; but if with that original of the house, it would be difficult to say that th e y o c o e f e d t e h d e o t fi ouse, then laid in th e indi c t men t. had, when on the spot , changed their mi a n ll itne N dn vh st O atn \ h ‘ ' r el e Y re present aiding and coun,%enancing that en d e e e stroy the ho act were gul l : It was for them to say how far the parties who were engaged in feeding the flames outside the house were to be taken as participators in the gui It of those who were destroyin g the house and setting fire to the furniture within it. He would make one observation with regard to the evidence that had been called as to the charater of the pr i s oners. Their guilt or inno • cence was tobe, in all cases, established by facts ; but in some cases there was so much of doubt And un certainty in the evidence that the scale could not be said to incline either way. In such a case, where a man had borne a 'good character for integrity and honesty through life, that would be of some w sight with the Jury; but where the evidence of guilt was clear and incontestible, the evidence of previous wood character could be of little avail in their eyes or that of the law. He would now proceed to consider the cases of the several prisoners separately, and would ask the opinion of the Jury upon each case separately, which would very much lighten their labour. The , Learned Judge then proceeded to read over the e v i- 1 dence of the several witnesses, commencing with that of Mrs. Vale. After referring to the evidence of Mrs. Vale, the gardener, and servant, he observed that was the evidence generally as to the conduct of the mob, and the object they had in view, and they would form a judgment whether . the mob were riotously assembled, and whether the object was to demoli s h and destroy,Dr. Vale's house. The first pri soner to whose case he would direct their attention was John Harris. The Learned Judge then read over the evidence of the several witnesses who had spoken to the part taken in the proceedings of that day by Harris, and after referring to the evidence given as to his previous character, asked the Jury to turn round in the box, and consult among themselves whether, supposing Harris was the only prisoner to be tried, they would be able to say if he was guilty of the charge or not. [The Jury having consulted for a few minute 3, turned round again, having privately pronounced their decision upon the case of Harris.] The next case he should take was Richard Wright. The evidence having been gone through which af fected Wright, the Learned Judge said it would be for them to weigh what the value of character was! taking into consideration the evidence that had been given as to the part he had taken in the proceedings. One of the witnesses had indeed pointed him out as having been the very origin' of the fire. [The Jury deliberated for a few minutes, and again resumed their seats.] The next case T . was George Colelough. [After the evidence with regard to the prisoner had been gone through, the *Jutt.) , in a similar manner consulted for a few ininutei] The Learned Judge then took the cases of JohnlVilliams, Jervase Phil lips, James Saunders, ..Toeph Whiston, Hamlet Jackson, and James Millington, in the same manner, and was proceeding with thgTother prisoners when the train left. CLOSE OF THURSDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. The Jury having come to:a decision upon all the cases, The Clerk of the Arraigns called over the names of the prisoners, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners, except Hamlet Jack son and the two. boys whO had been acquitted the previouS morning. The prisoners were then re - moved in custody. The CHIEF JUSTICE , in consideration of the length of time the Jury had been occupied with the trial dis charged them till Monday evening. The Court then adjourned, for ten minutes, and at the expiration of that period`. (Before Sir N: TINDAL.) James Bibs, John Lavatt, George Shaw, and John .Roden, were indicted for an assault upon Thomas Hill, of Stoke-upon-Trent, and stealing from him three gowns, value 10s., and a variety of other articles enumerated. The-SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated the case. It ap peared that on the day after the burning of Dr. Vale's house, a large mob collectedin the town of Hanley, and, among other acts of violence, attacked the house of the prosecutor, a pawnbroker, for the purpose of obtaining property which had been pledged with him. The prisoners in the present case formed part of the mob who surrounded the prosecutor's house, and by their numbers, violence, and threats, compelled him to deliver up a large quantity of property. Mr. Thomas Hill made his depositions, and the property being produced and identified, after some witnesses had been examined to character, _ The Learned CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the pri soners, recommending the three first to mercy, as they had used no threats.—The Court then adjourned, (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) _ _ Philip Dean, James Rathbone, George Owen, Wm. Spilsburgh, George Simpson, and Edward Moss, were indicted for a burglary in the house of James Plat, grocer, of Shelton. James Plat, in whose house the burglary was committed, together with several witnesses, identified the prisoners as having been seen by them with pro perty of Mr. Plat's in their possession, on the morning and at the place in question. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners. (Before Mr. Baron PARSE.) Samuel Gibson was indicted for having, on the night of the 15th of August, hurglariously entered the house of Mr. George Paddock, in the parish of Stoke-upon-Trent, and stolen therefrom 10 half crowns, the property of the said Mr. G. Paddock. Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW opened the proceedings. Mr. George Paddock sworn, and examined by Mr. GODSON—His father lived at Grove House, Hanley, in the parish of Stoke-upon-Trent. On the night of the 15th of August a number of men came up to him, near his father's house. Amongst them was the pri soner, who asked him for some money, which he gave him, and they went away. That was about eight o'clock. The mob returned at ten o'clock. As they reached his father's house, he heard a crash. He then went to the house, and found the mob and the prisoner there. He had previously knoNs n the prisoner, who endeavoured to conceal his features by contorting them. John Baddely, a labourer, saw the prisoner, pass his house on the 15th August towards Mr. Paddock's. His face was not then blackened. Mr. Baron PARKE charged the Jury, who imme diately returned a verdict of Guilty. Sentence was deferred, and the prisoner removed; After which the Court adjourned. The Grand Jury have already found 90 bills of in dictment, and have adjourned till Monday next. The Judges, Grand Jury, the Solicitor-General, and the leading members of the bar, will dine this evening at Ingestrie House, the seat of Earl Talbot. STAFFORD FRIDAY. (Before Sir N. TINDAL.) BURNING OF THE REV. MR. AITKEN'S HOUSE. Elijah Simpson, Tii;;:as - 6wen, George Kelsall, T. Murray, Phillip Deane, William Spode, Henry Howard, William Ellis, Adam Wood, Elijah Clay, John Cunliff, Joseph Green, Richard Croxton, John Rathbone, William Turner, Thomas Roberts, William Fearn, and George Colclough, were indicted for riot ously and tumultuously assembling, with divers others to the Jury unknown, on the 16th August, and with pulling down, demolishing and destroying the dwell ing-house of Robert Ellis Aitken, clerk; and in a second count they were charged with beginning to demolish and destroy the house. The prisoners pleaded not guilty. William Ellis, the person who was originally com mitted on a charge of high treason, and who is in appearance much above the class of the other priso ners, on being arraigned, exclaimed in a loud voice, " I am not guilty." Mr. ALLEN applied that the prisoner Ellis might he allowed to sever on his trial, in order that he might procure the attendance of witnesses to meet the charge. The CHIEF JUSTICE said it was impossible he could obtain a copy of the depositions, as none existed, and he could not now separate a prisoner who had already pleaded to a joint indictment to sever on his trial. The Solicitor-General and Mr. Waddington con ducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Lee, Mr. Meteyard, Mr. Allen, Mr. Yardley, Mr. Male, and Mr Huddle ston appeared for several of the prisoners ; many of them were undefended. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated the case. Mr. Aitken was for several years incumbent of the parish of Shelton, and it would appear that the mob originally assembled at Crown-hank on the Monday. They then proceeded to the house of the Rev. Mr. Aitken, in the town of Hanley, who, having been apprised of the coming of the mob, left his home. His son and servants remained in the house, but on the approach of the mob they retired, and ie work of destruction was proceeded with and speedily consummated. It must be shown to constitute the offence that the parties had destroyed or had commenced to destroy the building; and that, he thought, the evidence would sufficiently establish. He would show that some of the mob were armed, and two or three of them with swords. He would show them the part that had been taken by the prisoner William Ellis, becauss the prisoners were divided into two classes, those who were actively engaged in the work of destruction, and those who were present countenancing and encouraging the others. Among the latter was William Ellis, who would be proved to have accompanied the mob, and would be shown to have been standing within the court in front of the house between one and two o'clock in the morn ing, while the mob was there, and at that time his face was blackened. He would not be able to show that he took any active part in the destruction "of the property by fire ; but to judge from his expressions and conduct on previous occasions during the day, they would be able to judge whether he was there with an innocent or laudable purpose, or from idle cu riosity, or as a leader and encourager of the mob, aid ing them in their attack upon the house. They would find that, after the previous outrages, Ellis had spoken of them, not in terms of condemnation, but of praise and approval. That he spoke of the people resisting the soldiers, and at the end there was a shout, " Now for Burslem." He would show that Ellis was at Burs lem with the mob, and that he was one of the persons who was dispersed by the soldiers—that he formed a constituent part of the mob. He would show that in the morning, before they went off to Burslem, Ellis was heard to say that some said that their motto was, " a fair day's wages for a fair day's work ;" but he would say their motto was, " the obtaining of the Charter, and equal political rights." In allusion to the fires, he said that the Reform Bill had not been carried without fires—that there had been fires at Nottingham and at Bristol—and these remarks would indicate to them whether he, was standing there to aid and encourage the mob, and if so, he must be taken to be equally guilty with those unhappymen whose hands set fire to the building. Evidence to this effect was given at considerable length, and the trial was proceeding when the train left. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) Thomas Kelsol, Thomas Tooth, John W. Farring ton, Susannah Yates, Charles Simpson, John Parkes, Thomas Banks, and Joseph Barrett, were indicted for is felony committed in the parish of Stoke-upon- Trent, by breaking into the shop of Mr. George Fen ton, in the said parish, and stealing therefrom, on the 1 6 th of August, a variety of wearing apparel. Witnesses were then called who identified the par ties on the occasion. The prisoner Tooth was acquitted, as the evidence did not implicate him. Mr. SPOONER addressed the Jury on the part of Kelsol and Susannah Yates. Mr. NEIL addressed the Court on behalf of Barrett. The trial had not concluded when our express left. (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) 'Joseph' Broster was indicted for demanding, with menaces, on the 17th of August, from Thomas Hughes, at Woolstanton, 4s. 6d., with intent to steal the same. Mr. Sergeant TALFoURD and. the Hon. Mr. TALBOT conducted the prosecution. It appeared that the pri soner was one of those workmen who infested the neighbourhood to the terror of the inhabitants. The prisoner was found Guilty. CHESTER. THURSDAY MORNING.—The Special Commissions for the trial of parties connected with the late dis turbances were opened yesterday afternoon. About half-past three o'clock a special train arrived at the Chester end of the Crewe railway, which contained two of the Judges, namely, Sir E. H. Alderson and Sir C. Creswell. The Lord Chief Baron (Lord Abin ger) arrived in a carriage and four, at the Judges' lodgings, a few minutes previously. At four o'clock their Lordships took their seat in the Crown Court, attended by Mr. E. D. Davenport, the High Sheriff, when Mr. E. Watson Lloyd read the Commissions, and the Court was adjourned to half-past ten o'clock this morning. There are two Commissions issued for this county—one of oyer and terminer, and the other a gaol delivery, but not a general gaol delivery. The calendar, therefore, only contains a list of those who are connected with the recent outbreak in the manu facturing districts. There are 67 prisoners for trial, of which number no less than .25 are charged with riot, breaking into the Stockport union workhouse, and stealing provisions therefrom. The rest are charged with riot, of which the most serious case is the attack •on Mr. Shepley's mill, at Brookfield, near Glossop, the prisoners being committed to this gaol, although the offence was committed in the county of Derby, it being within 200 yards of the boundary of the county. A report of this case has already ap peared in The Sun. The Learned Judges will, if it be found necessary, hold three courts, as they intend to get through the business in the course of the present week. This morning their Lordships went to the cathe dral to attend Divine service, and will proceed from thence to the Court, where the charge will be deli vered to the Grand Jury. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HO USE. A young man, named William Joseph Darling, was charged before the LORD MAYOR with having plucked the feathers from a living fowl in Leaden hall-market. Mr. Howard and Mr. Brooks, sales men in the market, of excellent character, attended upon the occasion. Thomas B. Gibbins, Inspector of the " Animals' Friend Society," said that having seen in the Times newspaper paragraphs complaining that persons had been seen in Leadenhall-market plucking living birds, he walked round the market to make his observations, and he saw the defendant pluck three fowls, which were to all appearance alive ; one of them raised its head and fluttered. The LORD MAYOR—Did you examine any of them ? Witness—No. He took care that I should not. Mr. Howard—My Lord, you will be good enough to allow me to question this man. We are particu larly interested in this subject. The LORD MAYOR—Certainly. fair play. Mr. Howard—Do you know whether their necks were broken at the time the young man was plucking them ? Witness—l do not know ; but I knew that I saw one of them draw up its legs and wings during the process of the plucking. A policeman stated that the inspector of the Ani mals' Friend Society requested him to go and witness the plucking of the fowls, and he accordingly went to the market and saw the defendant with the fowl in his hand, three parts plucked. The bird drew up its legs and fluttered. Mr. Howard—Was the neck of the fowl broken ? Policeman—lt was. I examined it after it was plucked, and saw that the neck was broken. Mr. Howard—l am the employer of the defendant, and I saw the fowl killed. We always have their necks broken before a feather is taken from them, and after the spine is injured, according to the opinion of medical men, pain is out of the question, although there may be a muscular movement. The inspector of the Animals' Friend Society said that scarcely a moment elapsed between the taking of the fowls out of the basket and the plucking of them, so that the natural inference to be drawn was, that they were plucked alive. The policeman—The necks were certainly broken. Mr. Brooks said it was evident that the correspon dent of the Times was in error, and he trusted that as the effect of any paragraph in that paper was very great, the positive assurance made by the most respect able butchers, that there was no real foundation for the report, would he attended to. They had already been called monsters and brutes, in consequence of the paragraphs which had appeared ; and the statement of a clergyman, who laboured under misapprehension on this subject, was calculated - to aggravate the public feeling against them. The LORD MAYOR said he was convined the Times would most willingly insert the explanation. He (the Lord Mayor) was sure, from the respectability of Mr. Howard and Mr. Brooks, who voluntarily appeared to vindicate the practice of the market, that the case was exactly as they represented. Mr. Brooks—The practice has existed for ages, I dare say as long as fowls have been brought to mar ket, We have long ascertained that with the break ing of the neck all pain is at an end. The defendant was then discharged. Mr. Hobler said the noise that had been made about the plucking would do no harm at all. He knew perfectly well that the respectable butchers would not countenance such a practice as that which was sus pected to be in existence, but he believed thee were some who would pluck without taking the trouble to break the neck at all. A Mr. Smith, who resides in the neighbourhood of King William-street, was summoned fbr having re fused to pay the firemen who attended for the purpose of extingishing a fire, which was said to have taken place in the chimney of his house. The parish firemen stated most distinctly that, upon arriving at the house, they saw smoke and fire issue from the chimney, and they pulled down some soot which was on fire. Mr. Smith—There was nothing at all of the kind. I can prove satisfactorily to your Lordship's mind that there was no fire at all. The Lori) MAYOR—What ! Was there no soot on fire ? Mr. Smith—None at all. There was no reason whatever, for supposing there was a fire. Mr. Cowton, a parochial officer of the district, was then called by the firemen. He said that he went into the house, and, upon looking up the chimney, saw the soot on fire. He then took a broom and brought down the soot, which was burning. The LORD MAYOR—What have you to say to this evidence, Mr. Smith? Mr. Smith—l say I can con vince your Lordship that there was no fire at all, nor anything like a fire.—(Laughter.) Why these men offered to compromise the matter by taking less than they said they had a right to claim. The firemen said that rather than be at the trouble of attending before a Magistrate they had offered to take less than they were entitled to, and they were always disposed to do so. Mr. Hobler informed the Lord Mayor that such was very often the case. Mr. Smith—l say there was no fire. There was only some smoke. The Loup MAYOR—NOW here is Mr. Cowton, a disinterested witness, and a man we have long known as a respectable person, and he says he actually swept down the soot on fire. Mr. Smith—They are all perjured.—(Great laugh ter.) Why should not my word be taken as well as theirs ? The LORD MAYOR—They are all sworn, and amongst them is a man who has no interest in the business. Mr. Smith—There, were other persons there who said their demand was a common robbery. The firemen declared that Mr. Smith had paid the men he alluded to. Mr. Smith—Oh, I can explain all that. The LORD MAYOR—I adjudge you to pay these men their full demand, and I will not hear of a com promise. To refuse to pay men under such circum stances is by no means creditable. BO W -STREET. Yesterday a young man who gave the name of Robt. Fletcher, and was described as :a collector of debts, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hall, charged with being concerned with two other persons, not in custody, with assaulting and robbing James Stedrhan of a' valuable gold watch, and about 4s. or ss. in silver, under the following circumstances : The prisoner, it appears, is one of the gang who have for some time past infested the parks, for the pur pose of -committing robberies, and extorting money, &c., by threats and accusations. The prosecutor stated, that he was at present resid ing at the King's Head public-house, King-street, Park-lane; he was lately in the service of the Arch bishop of Canterbury, but was at present out of a situ ation. On the evening of the 14th of August last, he was walking through the Green Park, about ten o'clock, and when near the end towards Hyde Park corner, he was suddenly attacked by three men, who ran up behind him and knocked him down ; when on the ground they attempted to throttle him, and at the same time took from his waistcoat-pocket a gold watch, and the sum of 4s. or ss. in silver • from his trowsers- pocket. They used considerable violence, and tore his trowsers. Mr. HALL—Can you recognise the prisoner as being one of the persons who attacked you? Wit ness—l am quite sure of it. Although 1 never saw him before, I had quite sufficient opportunity of no ticing him so as to be able to identity him. Witness then stated that a short time after the robbery he met the prisoner in the neighbourhood of Piccadilly, but upon seeing him he immediately ran away, and he (witness) ,was unable to catch him. Yesterday, as he was walking through Bond-street, he again met the prisoner, who attempted a second time to make his escape ; he however gave an alarm, and after run- You shall have ning some distance the prisoner was stopped at the end of Burlington-arcade, in Piccadilly. Upon wit ness going up to him, he said, " You are the person who stole my watch," to which he replied, that he was going to get 101. which had been left for him at an hotel in Bond-street, and he would .give him that if he would let him go. He also said that he had not got the watch, but that a person of the name of Stringer, who had been lately transported, had it, and that he (Stringer) was one of the persons who robbed him. Mr. HALL—What was the value of the watch ? Witness—l purchased it a short time previous of g r ' Grayhurst, in the Strand, and paid him 251. for it. Mr. HALL Was the blow you received in the first instance, or the treatment you subsequently exile" rienced, of a severe nature ? Witness—l was ren dered perfectly insensible, and . remained in that state from ten o'clock till nearly one the following morn ing. Was quite sober at the time. At the time the prisoner offered to give me the 10/. he said that he thought he could get the watch back. Mr. HALL—Can you undertake to say that the Kr soner was the person .who took your watch ? ness—No ; I cannot say which of them took r. llneither do I know by whom the blow was struck' but I am quite certain that the prisoner was one ° the three men. Mr. HALL (to prisoner)—What are you? Prisoner—l am a chymist and druggist bitrAcr' but have lately been obtaining my living by colieLlP ing debts. The witness stated, that when the prisoner W given into custody he said that when Stringer I v ! apprehended three or four duplicates for gold watch es were found upon him, and he had no doubt that o ne of them related to his watch. He further said, th a t he would endeavour to get it for him, and would als ° give him 101. to let him go. When asked what he had to say to the charge, t he prisoner positively declared that he never saw the P re , i at secutor before ; that he knew nothi ng w h a tever the robbery, neither did he know anything of Stringt . Police-constable A 22 received charge of the soner from the prosecutor. H ear d him say 1111 11 Stringer was one of the persons who robbed him, an that he would endeavour to get the watch bn,, k 'i Upon searching him there were found in his Pei"' three documents. Mr. HALE , on perusing the letters, said there Y llO nothing in them which related to the,particular trl' llA • action then under inquiry, but -still they were of , portance with respect to other matters. The witness stated that he heard the prisoner stY that Stringer and Fitzgerald had committed the 1.6 - ,c,:. berg, and when asked how he knew that fact, gave evasive answer. _ nit s Mr. HALL inquired whether any persons of the ? of Stringer and Fitzgerald had been lately convict:Lit —The witness replied in the affirmati v e, and LoC ar that one had been transported fur life, and the ° t h ,„' r for fifteen years, within the last two months.

He should like to ha' . e the information possible on the subject.. ` peel' , The prisoner was accordingly remanded for a v if WORSHIP-STREET.
