INCOME TAX.-MEETING AT LEEDS. M. r. Alderman T ROTTIE , a t th e L ee d s mee ti ng o f whichwe gave a summary notice on S a t ur d a y, gave the following account of the operation of the former income tax :—lt happened that in the year 1815, and also in 1816, he took a very prominent part in this town in en deavouring to obtain a repeal of what was then called a property tax, but which, in reality, was an income tax, and along with others of his fellow townsmen, they aided in accomplishing that object. On that occasion he had in his possession some minutes which he would refer to now, for the fact was that sentiments he entertained then be entertained still.—(Hear, hear.) The officers by whom the old law was enforced were, first, the Local Commissioners. They were very important personages, and their powers might be exercised either partially or impartially, and he must say to the memory of all those who did exercise them at the period to which he referred that, so far as his knowledge extended, they were exer cised in a very just manner.—(Hear). He never heard the slightest imputation against them, but to the contrary. Their duty was to make the most of the tax, and per haps they were not always very scrupulous as to the means by which they brought individuals before the commissioner".—(Hear, hear.) Besides these, there were assistant collectors to the commissioners, referees to settle the contributions, and third referees to superintend what the others had done, and lastly, there were commissioners for general purposes.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) Tnere were separate oaths in the Act of Parliament for every one of them, and he believed the present machinery was intended to be th e same .— (Hear, hear.) lie had it in his power to det a il t o t h em specimens of the kind of inquisition to which the people would be subjected by an income tax, for he was some what suprised to find in his possession a•minute of some of the questions which the commissioners he had named had proposed to some of the inhabitahts of this town. — (Hear, hear.) He held in his hand a copy of two pre cepts issued by them, and he would take the liberty of reading the whole of it, lest he should be charged with having garbled it. COPY.

(Abridged from the Manchester Guardian.) - MEETING AT MANCHESTER.—OR Friday a public , meeting of the electors, convened by placard, was held in the Town Hall, " for the purpose of considering the proposition of Sir Robert Peel, now before Par liament, with respect to the income tax." Sir Thomas Potter, Holland Hoole, Esq., Boroughreeve of Salford, Mr. William Rawson, Mr. Alderman Brooks, Mr. Alder man Burd, Dr. Eager, Rev. William Shuttleworth, Mr. William Evans, Mr. James Hampson, Mr. Robert Chad wick, Mr. George Wilson, Mr. P. H. Holland, Mr. Henry Rawson, Mr. Archibald Prentice, Mr. David Holt, and other gentlemen were present. The body of the room was completely filled. Resolutions to the following effect were agreed, to TI at. in the opinion of this meeting of the electors of Mar.chester, the proposed tax upon the profits of trade is calculated to aggravate the difficulties under which the cotton manufacturer is labouring, and to increase the sufferings of the working classes, by diminishing the fund for their employment, and lowering the wages of labour. That the deficiency of the revenue has been caused by the operation of baneful monopolies, especially the Corn-law, which are undermining the trade of this district ; a .d that, to attempt to maintain the national income by ,axes upon the profits of capital, and to leave virtually u;. touched the chief source of the present com mercial distress, must speedily destroy the fund from which the I evenue of the State, the employment of the people, and the incomes of all classes, Eire mainly drawn."• " That this meeting of electors hereby calls on the mem bers for tl is borough, to oppose the imposition of any new taxes, until all the monoplies on food are abolished, and that, in accordance with the above resolution, a re quisition to the members be prepared for the signature of the eke ors."—A considerable deal of confusion took place at one time in the meeting, in consequence of a person who was not an elector, proposing an amend ment favourable to an income tax, which one of the elec tors afterwards moved, but which was lost when put to the vote, by a considerable majority. The working classes generally seem disposed to favour Sir Robert Peel's plan, and we congratulate him on having for an avowed ally Mr. Fergus O'Connor and most of his im mediate friends. Sir Robert Peel fanned the flames of bigotry against the Catholics to suit his purpose, then betrayed her dupes, and was opposed and hated by them. More recently—so recently that we might suppose he must still be smarting from the lesson—he has stepped into power by flattering the prejudices of the farmers, who are now stigmatizing him throughout the land as an imposter and a cheat ; and now he is endeavouring to keep power by gulling the lower classes, and separating them from the middle classes. In what mode they may take vengeance, when they too find themselves deluded and betrayed, we do not venture to say, but they will scarcely be satisfied by merely withdrawing a confidence which the Right lion. Baronet will not value, whenever it does not serve the purpose of giving or securing him political power. ST, GEORGE'S, BLOOMSBURY. (PROM A CORRESPONDENT.) It is in contemplation to place in the fine campanile of this church a most beautiful peal of eight bells, the tenor to weigh about eighteen or twenty hundred weight. The whole of the expense will ,be defrayed by a voluntary subscription amongst the wealthiest inhabi tants. His Grace the Duke of Bedford, in consider& of his great property in this parish, heads the list of subscribers with a mnnificent donation. The cost will be about 7501. or 800/. This celebrated steeple was built by Hawksmoor, the pupil of Sir Christopher Wren, and has been the subject of much severe and unjust criticism., by those who never had the talent or ability to erect its equal. A finer bell tower is not to be found in London, or a better situation for a peal of bells. WEYMOUTH ELECTION. We have made up the los 3 sustained in the Election Committees by the result of the Weymouth cas e decided this ernoon, which has given both the seats there t o the Liberalor candid a t es , W. T Bernal and Mr. Christie. The y_" Members" who had wrongly usurped the seats, are Lord Villiers (the Premier's son-in-law) and Mr. I lope. The " Black Bottle" Colonel and his regiment ar expected in York next week. A rumour is afloat that e Prince Albert will be present at the review of t h e York shire Hussars, which will take place in September next but of this we cannot at present speak with certaint y .—' Leeds Mercury. TUB CONDEMNED CRIMINALS AT YORK.—Accord ing to the usual arrangement, the execution of Jonathan Taylor, of Escrick, and Robert Nall, of Sheffield, the two wretched criminals condemned at the York Assizes for the murder of their wives, will take place next Sa turday, the 9th of April. ,We do not hear of any respite or reprieve for either, but thi s i e by no means decisive of their fate, as the Royal clemency, when it is ex tended, is not usually made known till near the day ap pointed for the execution.— Leeds Mercury. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) Powrsmoirrii, APRIL 4.—The Talbot, 28, Captain Robert F. Stopford arrived last evening from the Medi terranean, having left Constantinople on the 13th Feb., touching at Athens and Suda on her passage to Malta, and left that place on the 2nd March, six days after the Wasp, which vessel she met off Cape de Gatt, and left at Gibraltar on the 21st March, having passed that place without communicating. Strange to say, although the Wasp was considered in the Mediterranean to be a very fast sailing vessel, and had, a few weeks before leaving for England a trial with the Aigle and Snake, both of which vessels she completely beat, yet the old donkey fri?•ate Talbot, of 500 tons and 28 guns, so thoroughly beat the Wasp, not only in overtaking her on the pas sage, but tin a two day's working breeze off Malaga, the Wasp was at least twelve miles dead to leeward, and had it not been for an easterly wind springing up, it is doubtful if the Wasp would have been in sight on the Talbot's passing Gibraltar. Nearly four years ago, the Talbot had a trial with the Dido, when she so completely beat the Dido, a vessel of notoriety for sailing, as to be acknowledged by her Captain. Mr. Beer, the carpenter of the Talbot, died the day before the ship passed Gibraltar. Tke Talbot is ordered to Sheerness to be paid off. ' The Tagus arrived at Southampton this morning, and her letters and despatches were forwarded to London, by the nine o'clock train. Her dates of departure are as follows :—Gibraltar, 24th ult. ; Cadiz, the 25th ; Lis bon, 28th, and Oporto and Vigo, the 29th. She brought twenty passengers. The Lyra packet, Lieutenant Collier, arrived at Fal mouth on Sunday, from Mexico, with 280,000 dollars on freight. A conducta from the city of Mexico arrived at Vera Cruz on the 25th of January, with about 1,000,000 dollars, the greater portion whereof is expected to be brought to this country by the Crane packet, Lieutenant Hill, which was to sail for England from Vera Cruz on or about the 9th of February, so that she may be hourly looked for. The Lyra left at Havannah the royal mail steam-vessels Forth, Solway, and Medina ; the latter was destined to leave about the Ist of March, on her homeward route. Her Majesty's steamer Hydra was also lying at the Havannah. _ _ _ - Tile Alfred, 50, Commodore Purvis, sailed on Sunday for Rio Janeiro, taking despatches to Rear-Admiral Thomas, and supernumeraries for the squadron. Com manders Stopford and Haymes, to join the Pearl and Fantome, went out passengers. The ingdove, 16, Commander Sir W. Daniel, went out of harbour, and was paid advance yesterday. The Candahar, convict-ship, sailed to-day for New South Wales. Tne Jaseur, sailed from Gibraltar for Tangiers, on the 16th March. The President, arrived at Callao, from Islay, on the 14th December. The Charybdis, arrived at Surinam, from Jamaica, on the 10th January. The Eve, arrived at Cork, from Monte Video, spoke, on the 11th of March, in lat. 31 36, lon. 37, her Ma jesty's ship Wirspite, from Portsmouth to New York, with his Excellency Lord .Ashburton on board. The Warspite had been 25 days at sea, and was likely to have a long passage. The Tortoise store-ship, Mr. Wood, Master, reached the Cape of Good Hope on the 25th of December, from Plymouth, on her way to Van Dieman's Land and New Zealand. The Albatross, 16, was launched from this Dockyard on Monday, and is preparing to be commissioned. The Hecla and Blazer, steam-vessels, were paid off at Woolwich on Thursday ; the Gorgon was to be paid off to-day. The Geyser is still in the basin at Woolwich waiting for her armament. The - Cormorant, a new steam frigate, was launched from Sheerness Dock-yard, on Tuesday, and is to be got ready with all possible expedition. The Penelope, 42, at Chatham, is ordered to be cut in two, lengthened 15 feet, and fitted as a steam frigate, with very powerful engines; and if found not to answer, will be used as a troop ship. We stated last week the number of troops conveyed by the Atholl (paid off last week) during the last four years; we now subjoin the number she conveyed during the previous five years and a half, when under the command of Mr. Karley, viz., 489 officers; 9,692 non-commissioned officers and privates; 1,306 women; 2,347 children; and 398 seamen and marines belonging to the navy. Total, 14,322, averaging 2,604 a-year for the five years-and-a -h al f. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 4, 1842. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. Herbert Godwin, the City policeman who charged an old woman, a vender of marine stores, named Sarah Lewis, on Saturday week, with having purchased stolen property, and whom the old woman subsequently charged with having robbed her of a cloak and a time-piece, and two shillings, was on Saturday brought up for final examination. Mr. Wontner, a solicitor, who attended for the pri soner, said he was instructed to state that the prisoner had been informed by Reynolds, who, as had been ad mitted, was in the habit of giving information to the police, that some stolen p ew t er p o t s were on M rs . Lewis's premises, and that, upon going to the shop, he found the information to be correct, and took possession of the property ; that Reynolds suggested there might be other stolen property in the house, and the prisoner certainly, with great impropriety, allowed Reynolds to take away the cloak, upon the assurance, by that person, that he could find the owner of it ; that Reynolds kept out of the way, knowing there was a charge against l im. There was no doubt but the good character which had been given the prisoner was sufficient to show that there could be no connivance between them. He then exhibited a most excellent written character, upon which the prisoner had obtained admission into the City force. Alderman GIBBS said he would not make any obser vation calculated to prejudice the case, but it was cer- tainly his duty to commit the prisoner for trial. GUILDHALL. Mr. Livingston, a warehouseman in Wood-street, at tended before Mr. Alderman Hooper, on a summons for having, in violation of good faith as an agent to Mr. Whitton, a manufacturer of canvas at Dundee, disposed of his goods in exchange for doubtful bills of exchange, well knowing them to be so. Mr. Clarkson attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Payne for the defendant.' Mr. CLARKSON proceeded to explain his charge. Mr. Whitton was a manufacturer at Dundee, and, in July 1841, he entered into an arrangement with Mr. Living ston to sell goods, for which he was to receive a commis sion of 2i per cent. He was to take bills at four months, subject to Mr. Whitton's approval, or cash, allowing 2i per cent. for ready money. Goods to the amount of 1,362/. were forwarded to London, in payment for which only bills had been remitted, and finding several of these were acceptances of Messrs. Milton and Macey, of the Commercial-road, Limehouse, Mr. Whitton desired his agent to part with no more goods for their bills. The charge was, that subsequently to this notice, the agent took another 1001. bill of that sort. Upon applying to Messrs. Milton, they denied the genuineness of the acceptances shown to them, but admitted they had accepted one bill When the agent was desired to explain how he came by the bills, he said he had received them from a Mr. Wil kinson in payment for the canvas, and that Messrs. Mil ton were a responsible firm, carrying on a business em ploying sometimes seventy hands. Of the other bills only one had become due, and that had not been paid, the parties to it declaring it had been altered after it had left their hands. Messrs. Milton had been summoned to give evidence on this charge, b u t th e y h a d not at tended, and he should, therefore, be obliged to apply for an adjournment, to compel them to appear. If it could be shown, on the other side, that the bills were of value, that would be an answer to the charge. His client had been deprived of goods to the amount of 1;2001, and had not received a shilling, and the circumstances indicated that Mr. Livingston had recklessly connected himself with some persons who had divided Mr. Whitton's goods amongst them. Mr. Whitton was then examined to prove the facts as already stated ; after which Mr. Payne contended that all that had been shown was, that the goods had been sold and the principal did not like the bills. If he had recklessly disposed of the goods that would not bring him within the statute, which referred only to factors pawn ing goods. As to Messrs. Milton, they had for some time carried on an extensive business, and Wilkinson was their manager. Mr. CLARKSON admitted he was not within the scope of the statute ; but he hoped, on obtaining further evi donce, to make out a tangible case against some person. All he could now ask was that Mr. Livingston would undertake to appear at the end of a fortnight. Mr. Livingston said he was anxious to clear his cha racter from suspicion, and he would readily undertake to appear. The hearing was then adjourned. BOW-STREEr. ATTEMPTED StrlcipE.—A respectably attired, good looking young man, named James Comptuse, who de scribed himself as a watchmaker, residing in East-street, Red Lion-square, was charged with attempting to commit suicide, by throwing himself over the.parepet of Water loo Bridge. Mr. Christopher stated that he was passing over Waterloo Bridge last evening, between nine and ten o'clock, when he observed the prisoner coming towards him on the other side of the way ; he then saw him go into a recess and get over the parapet. Witness imme diately ran across to the place where he was, and seized him by the collar, and another person coming up at the time, with his assistance, witness pulled the prisoner back. If he had been a minute later, he had not the least doubt but he should have been too late to save the prisoner from self-destruction. At that time the prisoner said nothing to account for his conduct. He was not tipsy. The prisoner said, that he was walking along, when all on a sudden he was seized with an involuntary im pulse to jump down. Something came over him which he could not describe. The father of the prisoner, a most respectable-looking man, here came forward and said he could not think that his son would attempt such an act. Mr. TWYFORD gave the prisoner over into the hands of his father. ANOTHER ATTEMPTED SUICIDE..'—AII intelligent looking man, probably about seven-and-twenty years of age, named May, was next charged with attempting to commit self-destruction under the following circum stances : Police-constable, F 91, said, that about half-past twelve o'clock last night he was on duty in Clare-street when he saw the prisoner in the act of taking some sugar of lead. He had seen the prisoner's wife just before that, and she had told him that hehad threatened to poison himself. when the prisoner applied the paper of poison to his mouth. Witness endeavoured to knock it out of his hand, and he succeeded in making him drop a consider able portion of it. He then took him to the hospital, where, however, he was not detained long ; the report from that institution being that the prisoner had been drinking, and had taken a little sugar of lean, but not enough seriously to injure him. He had been locked up since. The prisoner, when called on f or his defence, said, smilingly, - that "he was very sorry for his last night's conduct; he had been drinking, and had had a few words with his wife." Mr. Twvrorto—Well, I am very glad to see you f.miling, and you seem to be very happy that you were prevented from committing the foolish act you contem plated. I hardly know how to deal with such a case ; some magistrates think it proper to commit such persons. The prisoner's father, however, here came forward, and, as in the previous case, into his hands was the foolish young man delivered. These cases excite a great deal of disgust in the breasts of all well-feeling people, who know that in nine cases out of ten, they are only attempted with no more serious object in view than to work upon the feelings of some poor, weak female, or unfortunate parent. No act can betray greater cowardice than, by unnatual means, to attempt to escape from the trials and troubles of this life, to which " all flesh is heir." A country girl, about 20 years of age, named Ann Dunn, was charged with stealing a male child three weeks old, the son of a porter in Covent-garden Market, named Dawes. The particulars of the case have ap- peared in The Sun. ' The mother of the child stated that on the evening of the 20th of March she and her husband went into the Sugar Loaf public-house, in King-street, Drury-lane ; they sat in the tap-room. The prisoner came in soon after, accompanied by a soldier. They all drank toge ther, and the prisoner took a great deal of notice of wit ness's child, and occasionally nursed it. Witness left the tap-room for a few minutes, leaving the infant in the prisoner's arms. On her return, she found that the pri soner had left the house and taken the child with her. Witness saw no more of her until Saturday, when both she and the child were brought to this Court. Mrs. Jane Hayward stated that she resided at Croydon. On Tuesday evening she saw the prisoner at Croydon, sitting on the shaft of a cart and crying, apparently in great distress. Witness put some questions to her, in answer to which she stated that the child was her own, and that she had just left Lambeth workhouse with it, because the guardians wanted to keep the child there and send her out to wet nurse. She afterwards admitted that the child was not hers, and, in consequence of the prevaricating accounts she gave of it, witness gave information to the police, having previously taken prisoner to the Anchor public-house, where she gave her some refreshment. -The policeman, who apprehended her, said she had admitted that the child was not her own, and said, that a woman had left it in her possession at a public-house in King-street, Drury-lane. The mother of the child left it with her in the tap room, 1 saying, aim she would return in a few minutes. That sh.l did not return, and that she (prisoner) being alarmed and not knowing what to do, took it to her mother to ask her advice. Her mother advised her to take it back to London, and endeavour to find out its parents ; and she was on her return to London, for that purpose, when she was apprehended. When seen by the witness, Mrs. Hayward, she had sat down on the shaft of a cart to rest herself, being very tired. She had no intention of steal ing the child, and had taken every care of it ever since she had had it. She was fully committed for trial. UNION-HALL. . . . 2 Ulnas Murray was charged with committing a vio lent Assault On his wife, who was supported into Court owing. to the nature of the injuries she received. The complainant stated that when she returned home on the preceding afternoon, she was attacked by her hus band, who knocked her down, and while she was on the floor kicked her in the body. She further stated that he was in the habit of ill-using her, and that he often threatened to be her murderer, declaring that he would serve her as the late Mr. Burdon of Easteheap was served. The defendant said that he was drunk, and did not know what he was about at the time. Mr. Corruici;;;;;:dju - aged him to enter into his own recognizance in 401., and find two sureties of 201. ear•h. to keep the peace for 12 months. The defendant was locked up in default of not finding the required sureties. Ellen Walkingshaw, a woman of the town, was charged with robbing Thomas Walter, of a purse con taining 11 sovereigns, and Hew y Goodwin, the proprie to of a house of 411-fame, and his wife Mary, were charged with being concerned in the offence. Walkingshaw said that she was not the person, and that the complainant had mistaken her. The other rrisoners, however, contradicted the assertion, and said th at Walkingshaw brought in the complainant to their home, and on hearing her screams they went up, and thinking the complainant was ill-using her, held him PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.

THE TORY INCOME Tex.—The Income tax still continues to be, and until it takes its place among the other pleasant imposts with which this nation is so pre eminently blessed, will continue to be, the one great absorbing topic of thought and of conversation. It is not supported by any party. Neither Radicals, Whigs, nor Tories like it. Even those of the metropolitan Ministerial papers, which do not de nounce it, merely give it the sanction of bare tolera tion, while, of the provincial press, all, with the excep tion of a few Tory, or, we ought rather to call them, " Peel-pledged " papers—which are so placed as hardly to know which way to turn themselves for fear of giving grave offence to some of their patrons—unite in depre cating a measure which is alike uncalled for, unequal i n its pressure, hateful in its operation, and, above al manifestly unjust.— Wiltshire Indepe n d en t. 1, MEETING OF THE ELECTORS OF LEEDS, TO EX PRESS THEIR OPINIONS TO THEIR MENDERS ON THE INCOME Tax.—On Wednesday evening last, a public meeting of the electors of this borough, convened by cir • cular, was held in the Music-hall, for- the purpose of making known to their Members, William Beckett, Esq., and William Aldam, jun., Esq., the opinions they enter tain on the subject of Sir Robert Peel's income tax. Between 900 and 1,000 persons were present, and the proceedings were marked by the most decided opposi tion. Among the speakers on the occasion were Hamer , Stansfield, Esq., James Holdforth, Esq., Mr. Craven, Mr. George West and Mr. Alderman Tottie. The Mayor, W. Pawson, Esq., occupied the chair, accom panied by W. Aldam, jun., Esq., M.P., and a great many other gentlemen connected with mercantile and ma". thawing operations. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The Committee sat at the usual hour on Saturday. but some hesitation appearing on the side of the Coun sel for the sitting Members, The CHAIRMAN asked how long they were to wait for those Learned Gentlemen ? Mr. TALBOT said the fact was, they had no further de fence to make, for the decisions of the day before had had such an actual, and also such a melancholy prospective effect upon their forces, that it was elf dent to the counsel for • the sitting members that the utmost they could do now would be to postpone the hour of defeat, but not wishing to waste the time of the Committee or of their opponents, they had resolved to abandon their case the moment they found it hopeless. He had, therefore, now to announce that the sitting Mem bers, seeing that the allegations of the petitioners were already in a great degree proved, would resist no further, and that they did now abandon their seats. The Committee, on hearing the statement, ordered the room to be cleared ; and when it wds re-opened, declared their resolution to be, that Lord Villiers and Mr. Hope, the sitting Members, had been unduly elected for the borough of Weymouth, and ought not to have been returned ; but that the petitioners, Mr. Bernal and Mr. Christie had been duly elected, and ought to have been returned, and that those Honourable Gentlemen were now the sitting Members. The late Members have to thank the indiscreet, but most expensive zeal, of their local agents for their pre sent position. • GREAT MARLOW. The Committee met on Saturday at the usual hour. They were occupied during the morning with the case of the voter Brown, which was eventually struck off. This decision leaves the sitting Member in a majority of. one. WIGAN. The vote of Edward Ackroyd, which was under the consideration of the Committee part of Friday. and during the whole of Saturday morning, was struck off. LAW INTELLIGENCE. :INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, April 2. RE ROBERT HASWELL. This was the ninth time the insolvent appeared in Court on his adjourned hearing. He had carried on business as a plumber and glazier, in Maidstone, where he was set up in business by his father, who took a deed of assignment of all the poperty there. In a short time he sold it out, and set up in Chancery-lane, in the same business, and having erected a small partition in his yard, which was considered to be a nuisance by a solicitor named Duncan, who resided next door, that gentleman sued him on mesne process, wh en. a verdict was returned for th e pl a i n tiff, with d amages - ofis. only; however the costs were enormous, and the insolvent's , father, in lieu of his former assignment' at Maidstone, got another executed in his favour on the stock and pre mises in Chancery-lane, all of whic \ li he took into his hands when the insolvent was arrested. The case had been adjourned from time to time for the father to give up this property to the general body of the creditors, and to produce his son's books in Court, which he had promised to do at each hearing, but as regularly disappointed the Court, so that the unfortunate insolvent had been kept a long time in prison, and bad been so frequently brought up for hearing, and as often remanded. Mr. COOKS, who appeared 'on behalf of the opposing creditor, Mr. Duncan, said he pitied the unfortunate in solvent, against whom hi s c li ent enterta i ned no feeling 6 of hostility, but he should say that the father seemed in-• clined that he should be incarcerated. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said the conduct of Mr.- Haswell, sen., was, in his opinion, not to be excused, as it was by his obstinacy that the case had been so fre quently before the Court, to the serious loss of public time. Ho should not pronounce judgment until all the insolvent's .books and papers were filed in Court, ten days after which time an order might be issued for his re-hearing. The insolvent was then taken back to prison. RE JEAN BAPTISTE TAMPER. The insolvent's application to be discharged was sup ported by Mr. Cooke, and opposed in person by a cre ditor named George Ayr. The attorney who had beer, originally engaged in this case was guilty of an irregtfutrity, and his name ordered to be struck off the rolls, u,iless he paid into Court on a certain day the money which he had fraudulently r.?.- ceived from the insolvent.. Mr. LEWIS, who was appointed to act in his place, stated to the Court that the money had not since been paid in. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said the course he should observe would be to cause this person to be served with a rule to show cause why he should not have his name struck off the rolls, unless the money was paid into Court immediately. The opposing creditor stated that he did some work for the insolvent, upon a gymnasium which he had in Wardour-streF l t Oxford-street, to the a mount of 45L and, of which he 'nad received no payment. The ins'olve n t in his examination by Mr. COOKE, said he acknowledged that the work was done, but Mr. Ayr had contracted to do it for 121. The Learned COMMISSIONER held that there was mo tking in the manner of contracting this debt, that call old for a remand ; and, no other creditors appearing in 4 )p -position, the insolvent was ordered to be dischaived forthwith. About a fortnight ago a fine full-grown partridge flew into the shop of Mr. White, baker, near Park. street, in Oxford-street, and is now in Ws possession. while she ran out, not suspecting she had :committed a rubbery. Wa&inshaw was committed for trial, and the other prisoners as necessaries after the fact. QUEEN-SQUARE. Thomas Carter, an assistant grave-digger at St. Luke's church, Chelsea, was again placed at the bar for exami nation upon a charge of having despoiled nearly the whole of the coffins deposited in the catacombs of the above church of their brass ornaments, handles, and -in scription-plates. The charge originated through the sexton going down into the vaults and accidentally dis covering the depr•lation that had been committed, and, as Carter had often been seen in them when he had no business, he was given into custody on suspicion, as was also Hillier, because it was thought he could not be en tirely unacquainted with the other's movements. The evidence, which was exceedingly lengthy, was taken down in the clerk's office. The Solicitor, who attended on behalf of the parish, said there was sufficient evidence, in his opinion, to warrant the commital of the prisoner at once to New gate, but a point had arisen to which he wished to call the magistrate's attention. The churchwardens were doubtful whether they alone would be sufficient as pro secutors, and thought that the relatives or executors of those deceased persons whose coffin* had been despoiled, should also prosecute ; he was borne out in that opinion by the decision of Judge Hale, in a case where lead coffins were stolen from St. Andrew's Church, Holborn. Mr. GREGORIN referred to the case, and though he was of opinion that the churchwardens would be quite sufficient as prosecutors, still he was willing to meet the solicitor's views, and allow time for the opinion of Mr. Bodkin, the counsel they intended to engage, to be taken. The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute, but the prisoner will be brought up again on Thursday next. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Kingston, April 2. (Before Baron ALDERSON and Special Juries.) THE QUEEN V. REDDIN AND co. This was an indictment against the defendants, who carry on business as wharfingers at Bankside, for a nuisance, by reason of their having public shoots upon one of their wharves from whence all kinds of vegetable and other refuse were cast into barges, and therby, as was alleged, the defendants annoyed and incommoded the public. The defendants pleaded not guilty. Mr. Platt and Mr. Chambers conducted the prosecu tion ; Messrs. Thesiger and Chadwick Jones were for the defendants. The character of the evidence may be inferred from the nature of the charge, and some witnesses were exa mined, for the purpose of proving that their noses had been offended by the smells which issued from the premises of the defendant. It was admitted, however, by them, on cross-examination, that the neighbo ur h oo d altogether was not the most delectable ; that there were gas works, iron foundries, and scavengers' yards in the immediate neighbourhood ; and, as Mr. Thesiger ob served, that the place being apparently dedicated to smells of all kinds, the defendant had only added one flower to the nosegay. Baron ALDERSON, in the course of the case, took occa sion to observe, that there must, of necessity, be such places as the defendant's ; and the only questions were, the locality and the excess. A number of other witnesses were subsequently exa mined, and at the close of the plaintiff's' case, Mr. Thesiger was about to address the Jury, when they ntimated that they had already formed the opinion that he evidence did not support the indictment, and they accordingly returned a verdict of Not Guilty. THE QUEEN V. THE LONDON AND GREENWICH RAIL- WAY COMPANY. This was an indictment preferred on Friday against the defendants, for having encroached upon the public highways. There were two other indictments preferred by the several parishes in Southwark, in which the al leged encroachments had been made. The Solicitor-General, who was specially retained, with Sergeant Channel! and another Learned Gentle man, appeared fur the defendants. _ Mr. Thesiger and Mr. Petersdorff supported the in dictment. Before the evidence was gone into the Court expressed an opinion, that from the circumstances connected with it, it was not a case in which a Jury could come to a satisfactory conclusion without knowing or viewing the different localities. He therefore suggested that it would be advisable for the parties to come to some arrange ment ; and Mr. Baron Alderson expressed his opinion that by this course the interests of the public, and of all concerned, would be much better consulted than by go ing to the Jury on the present occasion. The Learned Counsel then conferred together for some time, and it was at length understood, that an understanding had been come to between them. Baron ALDERSON then addressed the Jury, and said, he thought the parties had very properly come to an arrangement, that would secure the rights of the public. They would, therefore, have to return a verdict of not guilty, and the defendants would undertake to enter into a rule to make any alterations in the works, which, by the opinion of a competent person, might be considered necessary to be made for the convenience and safety of he public, and to secure the rights of the parties nterested. _____. • The_ Jury accordingly returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The two other indictments were then disposed of in the same manner.
