I,l,gisArto 0,4 ttiO UNDAY LABOUR IN THE. POST- - OFFICE.—(THIS DAY.) A meeting of merchants, bankers, and traders of the City was held this day in the Hall of Commerce, Threadneedle-street, fur the purpose of taking into eonsideration the proposed increase of Sunday labour in the Post-office. Sir James Duke, the Lord Mayor, took the chair at 12 o'clock, amidst loud cheers. The attendance was very numerous. On the plat form we observed Mr. Masterman, M.P., Sir E. N. Buxton, M.P., Al Lerman Sidney, M.P., Mr. Robartes, M.P., Mr. D. W. Wire, the Rev. Dr. Croly, and a number of other well-known gentlemen in the City. The CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting as follows : —Having the honour to be the chief magistrate of the city of London, I consider it always my sacred duty to give my warn co-operation and assistance in any measure which may affect the citizens of London. —(Cheers) I have refused to take the chair on m tiny occasions when I have been invited to preside at meetings, because I thought the questions which were to be discussed involved considerations of a pllitical nature, of which I considered it the duty of my office to steer clear.—(Cheers.) But, gentlemen, tbia question is purely and entirely one of a domestic character, affecting the citizens of London, and therefore I am not only happy to come forward to preside at such an important meeting as this, but I give my assatrance that I will co-operate with you to the utmost in my power in giving effect ' to the resolutlbns which may be arrived at to day.— (Loud cheers.) It is necessary I should state to you that when I first heard of the intention to open the Post office on Sundays I wrote officially to Lord John Russell on the subject.—(Hear, hear.) I be lieve the Noble Lord was not in any way informed upon the subject.—(Cheers.) I have since received a letter, dated on Monday last, from the Noble Lord while at Woburn Abbey, which I feel it my duty to read to this meeting.—(Hear, hear.) " Woburn Abbey, Oct. 1,1849. " My Lord,—ln reply to your Lordship's letter of the 29th, respecting tte rumoured intention to open the Post-office on Sundays,' I can state that there is no such intention. " The change actually proposed by tbo Post-office authorities has been announced in the newspapers, and your Lordship will be enabled by that announcement to jud4e of its probable bearing and effect.—l have the houur to be your Lordship's most obedient servant, " J. RUSSELL. "The Lord Mayor." (Partial hissing, and evident marks of disapproba tion.) lam sure, gentlemen, that if you had known the Noble Lord as long as, I am happy to say, I have had the honour of knowing him, no one here, what ever parties in this city may differ from his public life or his political views, I think would deny that my Lord John Russell and his amiable Lady are patterns of exemplary piety and strict:observers of the Christian Sabbath. Therefore, lam satisfied in my own mind that Lord John Russell will never lend himself to any measure tending to desecrate the Sabbath.—(Loud cheers.) I felt it my duty, gen tlemee, this morning, before coming hare, to go to the Post- office authorities, and to ascertain, as far as I could, what really was the measure which they had in contemplation.—(Heer, hear.) I had the honour of seeeing the Secretary and Mr. Rowland Hill, and I obtained official copies of the notice which has been issued, and which perhaps it is not necessary to read, unless some individual here has not seen it. Though this notice, from appearances, would rather seem to be intended for the purpose of relieving the country districts, there is a lurking suspicion in my mind that, ultimately, if this measure be carried, we shall have the Post office in this city open on Sundays.— (Loud cheers.) Mr. Rowland Hill assured me that this measure was only meant to carry through Lon don those letters which arrive from abroad, or from a distance, in ordt r not to delay them here twenty four hours, and that it would only give additional employment to twenty five men—(Hisses)—while at the same time it would relieve upwards of two thousand men now employed in the country districts. He further assured me that these 2,5 additional men will only be required at ten o'clock on Sunday morn ing and in the evening after five o'clock, so that the new arrangement will not interfere with the perform ance of their religious duties.—(Hisses.) That, gentlemen, is the explanation which I have had from the Post-office authorities, and now I will state what I consider this propssed alteration will lead to.— (Cheers.) The notice to which I have alluded states " that to facilitate the above arrangements, and at the same time to promote the public convenience, letters posted at provincial offices on the blank post day for towns beyond London, shall, if stamped and paving full letter -rates, be forwarded as on other day s, seas to be delivered , except in remote plac_•es,on Monday morning." I wi.t tell you what I think that will lead to. It is impossible, in th s great commercial country, that any towns could oh•aia an advantage by having their letters forwarded through the London Post-office on a Sunday, without the comma - Ed community of London receiving some injury.— (Cheers.) It is quite apparent to me that this great community will cuffsr a ivwere injustice if these Sunday arrange irentv ere persevered in ; and though I believe it remain under that injustice rather than [pi ly to tSe Government or the Post-office authori ties for an extension of the arrangements to Londen, yet there a-e some in the City who look only after their own interests, and who would gladly go to the Government and =ay, "As you have given other towns the kenefit of a &livery of letters on a Sunday, why not extend the same advantage to us? "—(Hear, hear.) Ido trust, as this measure does not appear to have been called for by any representation made in London or elsewhere, that it will not be car ried into effect. There has been no excuse for getting in what I fear will act as a " wedge''— (Cheers)—and as I remember a similar proposal was successfully opposed ten years ago, I hope the same spirit that then succe,sfully defeated it will be brought to bear against the proposition now.— (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I do not think it necessary to deta;ri you by nicking any further observations. I r-gret not being able to remain here to the close of tile proceedings, because there is a Common Council meeting at one o'clock, which I cannot possibly !Hit off attending, as there is some very important busi ness before it. Allow me to say, gentlemen, before I leave :he hall, that I shall be happy to take charge of any memorial or petition to any party whatever, either to the Prime Minister or to the Postmaster- Gensral, and to do anything else which you may think necessary to give effect to the resolutions passed this meetir g.—(Lou I cheers.) Mr. Miz:TERINIAN, M.P., having been called upon to move the first resolution, said, he had been invited to take part is the proceedings of this day, and be did so with the greatest pleasure and satis fiction, considering that they met to solicit the interference of Government to prevent the carry ieg out of regulations at the Post-office that may lead to great desecration of the Sabbath.—(llea7, hear.) Several respectable indi viduals had applied to him on this subject before to day, and be had felt it to be his duty to communicate with the Post-office authorities before he took any steps in the matter.—(Hear, hear.) He had accord ingly received the following replies to his communi cations. The first was lien' the Postmaster General, and it was this : "Portumna, Irehnd, Oct. 1, 1849. " Dear Sir,---There is not the slightest truth in any manner of our intention to establish a delivery of letters on Sunday in London. " The consequence of the measure lately adopted will, I trust, be to very much diminish Sunday labour in the post-offices throughout the United Kingdom, and like wise to put a stop to much letter-writing on Sunday in private establishments.—Sincerely yours, CLANRICARDE." The next reply was to this effect : " General Post office, Sept. 28, 1849. day, addressed Sir,—ln reply to your communication of this a dd res ied to CGlonel Moberly, who is now absent froma y London, I beg leave to acquaint you, that th e measur e to which you alluded will not cause any change whatever as regards the arrival or dispatch of London letters on Sundays; there will be no delivery of letters in London on that day, and the Post-office will not be open for the rec , l pt of letters. " I in beg leave to add that the main object of the mea surequestion is to afford relief on the Sunday at the provincial offices. " 1 have The honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient bumble servant, , " J. TILLEY, A ss i s tant Secretary.' It might not be the intention of the Government immediately to establish Sunday deliveries in the me tropolis, but the arrangement would lead to that re sult; and he most decidedly objected to any measure for the relief of the provincial offices that would throw more weight on the main es tablishment in London.—(llear, hear.) If the Post-office authorities really desired to reliev e ths provincial offices from some of their Sunday duti es, he could suggest to them a better and an easier plan to accomplish that object than the proposed arrange ment.—(Hear, hear.) It was to abolish the delivery of litters on Sundays all over England. As time was viluahle, he was not sorry that it was unnecessary for him to say more than that he perfectly agreed wi , h what had fallen from the Right Hon. Gentle man in the chair, and would at once conclude with moving the following resolution : .• That this meeting has observed, with regret and alarm, the proposed new regulations in the General Post office, by which a large amount of Sunday labour will be required in that establishment; and it is unable to perceive any reason why the slight relief offered to the country offices should be bound up with the com mencement of so great an evil in London."— (Cheers.) Mr. 110BARTES, who had the misfortune to be la bouring under indisposition, contented himself with simply seconding the reeolution, and expressing his concurrence in all that had fallen from the two pre ceding speakers.--(Hem, hear.) THE The resolution was then put - and carried unani mously. Mr. LABOUCHERE moved the second resolution as follows : " That this meeting feels persuaded that any plan which brings the mails into London on the Sunday morning, and requires the attendance of the clerks and letter-sorters to receive, assort, and transmit them, must ultimately lead to a delivery of letters on that day in London also." The statement from the Chair had been so clear and conclusive, that it required little from him to induce the meeting to cordially acquiesce in the resolution. — (Hear, hear.) He thought, however, that it was most desirable that they should clearly ascertain what the Post office proposed to do. At the present moment he understood that thirty bags, containing mails from abroad, came into London early in the morn ing, and these were opened for the purpose of taking out letters addressed to the Government, a practice established at the time of the war. This duty required the services of five persons.—(Hear.) It was now proposed, however, that the whole 620 bags coming in on a Sunday should be opened ; and though it WB3 said by the Post-office authorities that this duty would only require the services of twenty-five persons, he was quite sure that it was apparent to every one in the meeting that that number would be perfectly insufficient to perform the duty.—(Chc era.) There was at present a second—an afternoon arrival. Twelve bags came in at two o'clock on Sunday af ternoons, containing foreign letters, and the same number of persons who performed the duty in the morning made the selection of Government dispatches in the evening. Now, was this proposed change called for?—(Cries of " No.") It certainly was not. It was attempted, but successfully defeated in 1838, and he was confident that the bankers who opposed it then would do so now.—(Hear, hear.) It had been ascertained that during five years upwards of 300,0001. were extracted from letters passing through the Post-office, but if a system were adopted in the Post office establishment that would have the effict of demoralising its servants, was it not more than probable that Post-office robberies would be greatly increased ?—(Loud cheers.) It was, then, for the pecuniary as well as the moral interest of the mer chants, bankers, and traders of the city of London, to oppose this proposed change in the Post-office.-- (Cheers.) Let them take all the large towns— Liverpool, Manchester, York, Bath, and Bristol— and they would find that they had all sent memorials, signed by clergymen, magistrates, bankers, and others, against the desecration of the Sabbath. The feeling of :London was against such a change, and he rejoiced at it, because we should be the more likely to enjoy the blersing of God. The word of God said, " Those that honour me I will honour ; but those that despise me shall be lightly esteemed." He rejoiced that the public press had taken up the subject, and that the Times had satisfactorily shown that the advantages of the proposed change were as nothing when contrasted with the disadvantages that would ensue.—(Hear, hear.) It was said that the change would relieve the country offices from a great portion of their present burden. This was altogether a fallacy, for those who resided in the country knew well that at present the country post-offices were closed during a portion of the Sabbath, and if this change took place the same regulations would prevail, so that he could not see that increased facili ties would be afforded for the persons engaged in them attending public worship. Bat whether this would be so or not, they had a principle to establish. —(Loud cheers.) Do not let them countenance any thing which could by any possibility deprive the poor man of the greatest blessing he enjoyed—the rest of the Sabbath ; and let them bear in mind that just in proportion as they respected the law of God could they expect his blessing.—(Cheers.) Mr. R. lIITCHINS wished to say, on the part of the Stock Exchange, and of those who transacted business in it, that they did not desire any change in the present system pursued by the Post-office.— (Cheers) They were satisfied with the six days which God had given them for labour, and did not want to infringe upon that day which God had given to both man and beast for rest.—(Hear, hear.) Resisting minor evils at the commencement,' was the proper way to prevent greater ones, and hence he was there to oppose the commencement of a system which would ultimately extend itself. When God appointed the Sabbath for the rest of his chosen people, the Jews, be fenced round any infraction of his command ment with respect to it the most tremendous penal ties, telling them that though the Sabbath was made for the rest of man, it was at the same time appointed for his honour. He agreed with Mr. Labouchere, that if letters were conveyed to towns distant from London and delivered, that the merchants might find it necessary, in consequence of their pecuniary interests being in danger, to be at their offices on Sunday, and to require also the at tendance of their clerks. He trusted no Christian man would advocate the change.—(Chesrs.) The resolution was carried unanimously. Sir E. N. BuxToN, M.P., said, it gave him the mo-t cordial satisfaction to be present at so magni ficent a meeting, which, considering the state of the weather, and the hour of the day, might be said to be unparalleled in the city of London for number and influence —(Hear, hear.) He entertained the most profound respect for Lord John Russell, and con sidered if they had had the honour of his company— (Laughter)—he could not entertain any mistake as to the views of his constituents upon this matter.— (Hear, hear.) He believed if he saw the opposition of the merchants and traders of the city of London to this attempt to increase the work in the Post-office en Sundays by reducing it in the week—(Laughter)—that he would not consent to any alteration.—(Rear, hear.) The proposed evil was a small one compared with the many evils that must unquestionably result from it. Many of the gentlemen entrusted with the management of the Post office merely observed the Sabbath out of re spect to public opinion, and would not hesitate to go further, and open the Post-office on the Sunday, if a step like the one proposed was not denounced. If the merchants and traders of London wished to have the Sabbath to themselves they must prevent the driving in of this wedge.—(Hear.) He agreed with one of the gentlemen who had spoken, that it would be well if Sunday labour could be entirely done away , with throughout the whole country.— (Hear, hear.) The moral and social advantages of a proper observance of the Sabbath were con ceded on all hands —by merchants as well as agriculturists; but the proposed change should be viewed in another light. 'I he Post-office clerks were obliged to be at their posts early in the morning, and had quite enough of work to do for the money they received—(Hear, hear)—without having to give another day's labour. He was sure he but expressed the general feeling of the meeting when he said that those in the service of the country should have the Sabbath to themselves.—(Loud cheers.) The Right Hon. Baronet concluded by proposing the succeeding resolution, embodying the memorial That on these grounds it appears expedient to ad dress to the Lords of the Treasury the following me morial, and that the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and John Mesterrnan, Eq., be requested to present the same, "TO THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS Cr HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY. " The Memorial of the undersigned Merchants, Bankers, Traders, and others, of the City of London, humbly showeth— " That your memorialists have heard with the deepest regret that it is intended by the authorities at the General Post-office to commence, very shortly, the re ceipt of mails from the country at large, and the trans mission of mails into the country, on the Sunday, as on other days of tho wt ek. " That y our memorialists feel convinced that suc h a measure will inevitably lead to a Sunday delivery and transmission of letters in the metropolis. "That your memorialists, therefore, appeal most earnestly to your Lordships to prevent the adoption of a measure so repugnant to the feelings of the community at large ; and which has been desired by no class, while it is deprecated by all. " And your memorialists shall ever pray." Mr. J. D. PoWLES next addressed the meetin g . He said they were not there to denounce any act of wickedness on the part of any portion of the people, but to deno unce an i ntent i on on t h e par t o f the Go vernment to subvert the ancient law, that the Sabbath should be kept holy.—(Hear, hear.) In 1838 he was one of the deputation that waited on the Government to oppose their intention to deliver letters on Sunday. p in twenty four hours afterwards the intention was a b an d one d ; and what had occurred in the eleve n Sears w hi c h had since elapsed to justify re: irrence to such a course ? Now, when the electrle telegraph extended over the whole of the country, and when, indeed, th e means of inter-communication were much improved, he was at a loss to understand why Sunday work in the Post-office was indispensable ; it for was a farce to say that the labour of men within the Post-office was not equivalent to the opening of the Post. office. Let them f ear in mind the extraordinary number of Post. office pr osecu ti ons , an d l e t th em t e ll him whether this new system would not promote them.— (Hear, hear.) they placed men at the criminal bar whom they had taught not to respect the Sabbath.—(Hear, hear.) The language the Post-office in respect to the p:opo s e .1 desecrationof of the Sabbath was most irreligious and hypocriti ea i the advantage contend e d forw : (as altogetherl ear letter arrived and extraordinary. If, f or instanc e , from Hamburgh directed to hi m on the Saturdaynight,a or Sunday morning, it would not be delivered until until Monday, and he did not wish it—(Hear, hear.)— but if he were a hundred miles away it would .) be delivered on the Sabbath.—(Hear, hear.) Thus he was at a loss to understand how the country offices were to be relieved by this new system of any por tion of their labour. Ile then se2onded the resolu tion, which was carried unanimously. Mr. J. WILSON proposed — be ginn to " That the cordial thanks of this meeting SUN, LONDON:- the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, M.P., for his kindness in presiding over this meeting on this occasion, and for his able conduct in the chair, and for pledging himself to assist in carrying into effect the resolutions which have been now passed; and likewise to John Masterman, Erg., M.P., for his kindness in taking the chair and his able conduct therein afterwards when necessarily vacated by his Lordship." The Rev. Dr. CROLY seconded the motion, saying that the observation of the Sabbath was the primi tive law of men ; and in an eloquent speech, which was much cheered, denounced the proposed change. Religion and virtue was, thank Heaven, much on the increase, and now that vice was declining, it would be a most ungrateful return for the blessings of God, if after recovering from the late fearful epidemic we commenced a desecration of the Sabbath. Mr. HINTON said he was a Dissenting minister of the City of London, and he was there to say that his bretheren would go heart and hand with them in the object of this meeting. Mr. EVENESS, an accountant, also supported the resolution, and denounced the proposed change as an innovation upon Christianity. The resolution was then put and carried unani mously. The CHAIRMAN briefly acknowledged the compli ment, and the meeting broke up. FRANCE. The following is the proposition laid before the Assembly by M. Napoleon Bonaparte : " Considering that generosity, grandeur, and justice, are the best auxiliaries to found and fortify the Repub lic; considering that reasons of state can no longer be interposed; considering that Governments have never been saved by laws of proscription and violence; the undersigned proposes the following decree:-1. The laws of the 10th of April, 1832, and of the 26th of May, 1848, which exile the family of the Bourbons, are abrogated. 2. The decree of the Constituent Assembly of the 27th June, 1849, is revoked. The insurgents of June, transported without trial, shall be set at liberty. " NAPOLEON BONAPARTE." Speaking of the riots at the theatre near the Porte St. Martin, the Univers says : " A piece called Rome was represented on Saturday night at the Porte St. Martin, and the journals of yes terday analyse the plot and performance. We have not the courage to do so. The authors pretend to repre sent the life of Pius IX., such as ridiculous accounts give it, and the Sovereign Pontiff is seen on the stage trom his earliest youth to these latter times. Such are the examples given by France. When the Ministers of the Grand Turk expose the empire in order not to fall in the duties of hospitality, the Ministers of the French Republic permit that a living sovereign, the Sovereign Pontiff, the head of the religion of the country, should become the sport of play-actors. This silly and savage indecency—this brutality without name and without example, immediately received a first punish ment. The representation was a riot, and aroused in the people the passions which raised the bar ricades of June. One scene represents the assasi nation of M. Rossi—the people applauded the murder, Another scene, the entrance of the French into Rome, was so hissed that it was necessary to let down the cur tain. These hisses were directed against the French uniform. We trust that there will be found in the As sembly a Catholic to interpellate M. Dufaure on the ignominious offence of which the Sovereign Pontiff is the object. Children of the Church, we want to know what is this party of order to which it is desired to bind us, and the heads of which authorise against the Church such degrading indignities." GERMANY. The Duke of Saxe-Coburg has just abolished the lottery in his states. The Frankfort fair closed on the 29th ult., and it is said to have been one of the most satisfactory that has been held for years. The King of Prussia has appointed M. de Bo delschwing Member for Prussia of the Council of Administration of Germany. A letter from Vienna, addressed to the Emancipa tion of Brussels, states that disturbances continue in the south of Hungary, and that the Servians of Neusatz had driven away the Imperial Commissioner in consequence of his proclamation fulfilling the promises made to them when they supported the Austrians against the Hungarians. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—In the nominal prices of yarns, there has been but little change to-day as compared with this day week. The continued stag nation they have experienced has certainly, however rendered spinners increasingly desirous of selling, and has thus given an actual advantage to buyers in the transactions that have taken place. Both h ome consumers and exporters still manifest a great want of confidence : a very limited business has been done, and the day has closed un satisfactorily in all respects. Almost the only excep tion to this statement is to be found in the finer counts of India qualities, for which there has been more in quiry since the arrival of the overland mail. The difficulty of selling goods is sensibly increasing. The day's operations have been insignificant; and prices in general must be quoted rather lower. The east ern advices have produced no favouiable effect on fabrics suitable for that quarter; ncr, indeed, were they calculated to do so. The 'same may be said as to the intelligence from other markets, Our immense exports of the lighter cloths, since the commencement of the present year, have deranged the relation betwixt prices here and in distant markets ; and the giving way we are now experiencing is, in fact, a corrective process, quite indispensable to the resumption of regular business. As regards the home demand, much disappointment is felt. A good harvest has not yet been followed by the effects that were looked for, and heavy goods can not be said to be firm in price. The makers of stout cloths and the spinners of export yarns, disheartened by the still deteriorating condition of their long unfavourable trade, are more than ever disposed to reduce their production, a measure never adopted except when things become hopelessly bad. In addition to the millowners who have lately resorted to short time in this town and neighbourhood, we hear of several others who are doing so, particularly at Rochdale. Prom Constantinople commercial letters to the 15th ult. have been received to-day. As they make no mention of the hitch betwixt the Turkish and Rus sian Governments, it may be presumed that the fact had not then transpired beyond the political circles. It has been feared that this rupture would con siderably injure the trade of Manchester with Constantinople : it can however have little effect in this respect, as the demand can hardly be less than it has been for some time back, and the Greeks regard the affair without alarm, as one which can lead to no serious consequences. Independently of this matter, however, the advices are calculated to confirm merchants in their recent course of abstinence from purchases; for, instead of there being at Constantinople a fair autumn demand, as had been expected, there continued to prevail a general and extreme dullness and depression. At the same time advices of the 25th August, from Tabriz, continue to give the _ - most discouraging accounts of trade in Persia. In these markets there is an overstock of British manufactures. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had to- day a very thin attendance of buyers in the market, and the business transacted has been more limited, with little or no change in prices. Heavy goods are yet difficult of sale, and but little inquired after. The wool market has been quiet, and prices much the same as they were the previous Monday. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have little to add to our last report, further than that the manufac turers have been making more progress in the sale of their goods the last tew days; and, as the cholera decreases, we may expect a continuance of demand, especially as there is an upward tendency in the price of raw silks. There is an increased inquiry for thrown silks for export, which keeps the throwsters fairly employed for the present. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—The market is very quiet. Among the fancy manufacturers there is much complaining. A:steady business continues in the warehouses. Not much done in wool, but prices are firm. HALIFAX ; SATURDAY.-Our Piece Hall has not presented a very animated appearance to-day, but the trade is steady, though not brisk. The manufacturers complain that they are not able to obtain an increase of price equal to the advanced cost of the raw material. There is no variation in the de mand for yarns which go off well, and the quotations are very firm. A moderate quantity of wool is changing hands at slightly improved prices. LEEDS, TUESDAY. There has been but little business done at the Cloth Halls either today or on Saturday last, and there is less doing in the ware houses than for many weeks. Prices steady, and stocks light. THE MOTHER OF SIR FITZROY KELLY.--It is no t generally known that Isabel Kelly, a celebrated novelist in her day fifty years ago, is alive at ninety years 0 1 l age, residing at Brompton, and retains her faculties and reads the smallest print without spectacles. Connected with the highest families in Scotland, she boasts she was born in a castle (that of Caernbro'), nursed in a cottage (by one of the family cottars), and bred at Court. Her father, Captain Fordyce, was the last car ver and cup-bearerer to George 111. Sir Fitzroy Kelly is her only son.

GUILDHALL. _ Charles Thomas, alias Hogg, but who also has gone by the name of Brandon, was brought up for final examination, charged with obtaining between 501. and 601. worth of goods under false pretences. The prisoner was remanded until Friday for the depositions, which are of great length, to be made out. BOW-STREET. A rather elderly woman, named Jane Sinclair, who stated that she was a widow from Glasgow, was charged with having, in conspiracy with a man unknown, defrauded a number of pawnbrokers by false pretences. The prisoner, having become possessed of a supply of gilt rings, very massive in appearance, had been in the habit of pledging them at different pawnbrokers, and obtaining suns varying from 15s. and upwards upon them. A second visit with one of them to Mr. J. Clark, a pawnbroker in Long-acre, caused her to be suspected, and the assistant detained her until it had been properly tested by an assay ist, and after wards by himself in his presence. She demanded that the ring should be returned to her, and it was given back, with an intimaticn that if she offered it for pledge again as gold it would be an unlawful act, for which she would be liable to prosecution. Another of Mr. Clark's assistants followed her from the shop to wateh her proceedings, and he saw her join a man in St. Martin's-lane, and then proceed to another pawnbroker's, where she offered the same ring, the man remaining outside. By the interference of the assistant, who gave private warning to the shopkeeper, the ring was again returned to the woman, with an assurance that it was base metal • but the prisoner notwithstanding w en t di rect l y to a third pawnbroker's, and repeated the attempt, and was ultimately given into custody. Evidence was given of her having pledged similar rings at nearly every pawnbroker's in the district. The prisoner said, in her defence, that she be lieved the rings to be genuine, having been told so by her late husband, who was mate of a vessel which sailed from Liverpool, and who died two years ago. _ _ - A woman, with whom th e p r i soner lodged in Spitalfields, ated that a man, whom she did not know, occasionally called upon the prisoner and called her " Jane." She had often told witness that she was in the habit of selling things for the man, being able to get a better price for them. • Mr. HENRY committed her for trial. MARLBORO UGH-SIZE T. John William Molloy, an elderly person, apparently very deaf, who at one period moved in very respect able society, and who reports himself to be a close connexion of a distinguished Irish family, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having enjoyed himself luxuriously at the Cafe de Paris, Haymarket, without having any means or intention of paying his bill. The prisoner for a length of time has been living on coffee-houses and hotel proprietors, and, though he bas frequently been given into custody on the discovery of his true character, yet he has hitherto contrived to evade punishment by making his frauds mere cases of debt. In this instance it ap- peared that the prisoner had gone a step too far, and that now there is a possibility of hotel and coffee house keepers being relieved, for some time at least, from the impartial favours of such a customer. From the evidence of Henry Manning, waiter at the Cafe de Paris, it was proved that, just between the lights, while it was raining, the prisoner rushed into the coffee-room and said, he really was so fatigued and the weather was so bad, that instead of going home to his residence at Barnes he would take a dinner and a bed at the hotel. The waiter, who appeared to be a very sharp kind of personage, was thrown off his guard by his sudden address, and as the darkness favoured the prisoner on an examination of his shabby genteel externals, he told the prisoner he could have dinner, but it was the rule of the house not to let beds to visitors unprovidtel with luggage. The prisoner said, he would not break through the rules ; he would send for his luggage the next morning early, as it was too late to ask the house porter to go as far as Barnes that night. The pri soner then ordered an excellent dinner, with ale, particularly cautioning the waiter " to draw it mild," some of the best pale sherry, and a plate of nuts, which he got the attentive waiter to crack for him, as he had recently hurt his shoulder. The next morn ing the prisoner called for a sheet of paper and wrote the following note :-- "Dear Mrs. Harris,—Let Harry put himself into a Richmond omnibus with my large portmanteau and tra velling-bag. Don't let him be later than twelve o'clock, as I will give him an early dinner and send him home safe. My arm is still very bad, and I shall follow your recommendation, and get medical assistance. I am in comfortable (planers at the Hotel do Paris, Haymarket. " Yours ever, J. la." The letter was directed to " Mrs. Harris, Barnes, Surrey ;" but the waiter. not liking the aspect of affairs, presented his bill, which amounted to 16s. 6d. The prisoner candidly owned he had no ready money, but would draw a small cheque on his bAnkers, Messrs. Attwood and Co., and this the waiter could get cashed the next morning. The prisoner accord. ingly drew a cheque, in his own name on Messrs. Attwood and Co., and handed it over to the waiter. The prisoner then ordered dinner, and on the strength of the cheque the waiter supplied the viands. The next morning the cheque was presented at the bankers', and from information which was obtained the prisoner was given into custody on the return of the porter who presented the clique. Mr. BINGHAM asked the waiter if he was induced to give the prisoner additional credit after having received the cheque ? The waiter said he let the prisoner have a second dinner and a second night's lodging on the faith of the cheque being a genuine document. BINGBAm said the first dinner and bed must be treated as a debt, but the last dinner and bed had been obtained by fraudulent means, and he should commit the prisoner for trial on that account. The prisoner was then fully committed. WORSHIP-STREE T. William Morris, alias Haller, and William Lambert, two powerful fellows of notorious character, were charged with the following daring robbery : It appeared ;from the evidence of a C us t om -h ouse officer named George, that whilst passing the corner of Wentworth street, Whitechapel, at three o'clock on the afternoon of the 6th of August, he observed the prisoners loitering there in . the company of three other men, and the moment he passed them he felt a jerk at his coat-pocket. He instantly turned round and seized hold of the man nearest him, when a simulta neous rush was made upon him by the others, one of whom struck him such a violent blow underneath the ear that he dropped to the ground sense less. A considerable time elapsed before he was restored to consciousness, when he found himself under the care of a policeman, who had witnessed the out rage, but reached the spot too late to capture either of his assailants, who had in the interval got clear off with his pocketbook, containing some private docu ments. He sustained such serious injuries from the savage violence to which he had been subjected ,that he had been confined to his bed for a considerable period, and had not yet wholly recovered from its effects. He had since been repeatedly on the watch for his assailant;, but had been unsuccessful in tracing either of them until the preceding evening, when he recognised the two prisoners, who were closely fol lowing a lady and gentleman in Commercial street, with the evident intention of robbing them. He im mediately obtained the assistance of a policeman, and having followed them some distance, to observe their operations, at length saw the .prisoner Morris with the skirt of the gentleman's coat in his hand, endea vouring to pick his pocket, covered by the other pri soner, but before they bad time to complete the offence they were both pounced upon and secured. Police-constable II 70 corroborated the latter part of the prosecutor's statement, and intimated that both prisoners were members of a desperate gang of thieves who were the terror of Whitechapel, and that Morris had been several times in custody and repeatedly con victed of similar offences. The prisoners, in general terms, denied all the facts alleged against them, but were committed for the formal completion of the evidence. LAMBETH. Stephen Alfred Jourdan, alias Donnland, who has been in custody for nearly a fortnight on a charge of attempting to assassinate a young woman, named Sarah Frances Ewins, in Dulwich-wood, was again placed in the bar before Mr. Elliott. Mr. Games attended-for the prisoner. Sergeant Pritchett handed in a certificate of the present state of the unfortunate sufferer, of which the following is.a copy : "I hereby certify that Sarah Frances Ewins is progressing very favourably, but is likely to remain in the hospital some time longer. " CHARLES SANDERS, " Assistant to Mr. B. B. Cooper. _ _ " Guy's Hospital, Oct. 2." Mr. ELLIOTT—Has the surgeon pronounced the young woman out of danger ? Pritchett—No, sir, he has not. Mr. ELLIOTT—Has he stated when she will be able to attend to give evidence ? Pritchett—No, sir. Her wounds are not as yet healed, but I should think she will be able to attend in the course of next week. The prisoner, who, as on the former occasion, when placed in the dock, betrayed the most perfect in difference, was again remanded. A GOOD DAY AMONG THE PARTRIDGES Cadder on Thursday last, Henry Everard, Esq., and Mr. William Martin, gamekeeper to W. S.

TOLERTON, SATURDAY EVENING.—I have just attended an inquest in a case of murder compared to which in atrocity that of the Mappings sinks into the shade. It is not usual to have to record such darkly demoniac traits in the Irish character as that un folded in this inquest; especially among the female portion of our peasant class whose demeanour for modesty and womanly reserve has elicited warm eulogium from writers of every class and every country. The murdered in the present instance was husband, the murderess wife. She has not only been pronounced guilty by a Coroner's jury, but has fully confessed her participation in the terrible tragedy. In order to give the foul transaction in the smallest space, I condense the evidence. Catherine Thompson, an interesting peasant girl, was wedded some time ago to a person in her own class of life named Patrick Moore. The marriage was not a happy one; the wife's prettiness had won her many admirers; and the result was that a casual separation took place ; the husband went to live with a relative of his named Brennan, while the wife re mained with her mother at Tulla, in the Ballick moyler district. Moore left for America, but on reaching Liverpool, he could not divest himself suffi cienly of his feelings for home to prosecute his voyage ; so he returned. On Sunday, the 21 of September, Catherine Moore sent a young woman named Julia King over to Brennan's to her husband with a message, the substance of which was that she wished to see him on that evening. He came punc tual to the assignation. Between ten and eleven o'clock on that night he was seen by two men leaning against a ditch at the back of his mother-in law's house, in company with his wife. After this night he was not seen or heard of in the neighbour hood ; he did not return to Brennan's ; but a rumour was set afloat that he had left for America ; and the following Sunday Mrs. Moore left Tulla for the ostensible purpose of joining him in Liverpool, in order that they might proceed together to New York. After she left, vague reports were circulated through the village, and people surmised strange things, and ask,d why the wife did not accompany her husband. These indications of the feeling of the people of the neighbourhood having reached H. B. Warburton ' Esq., the Sub-Inspector, at B a lli c k mo yl er , th a t gent leman immediately made particular inquiry into the matter, and had the several coal-pits in the district dragged but without any successful result. While he was thus engaged a letter reached from a brother of Mrs. Moore's, who resided at Dundalk. It pur ported that the writer had seen his sister and her husband off from Dublin on their way to America; that they were in good health, and seemed perfectly reconciled to each other. This removed any lingering suspicion which remained on the mind of the intelli gent sub-inspector. Thus matters remained until word was brought him, on Wednesday evening, that the body of a man or something like it was seen in a hole in the centre of the lonely bog of Rossmore, and that the dogs had been devouring portions of it. He forthwith proceeded to the place pointed out, on Wednesday night, and in the middle of the lonely and wild bog of Rossmore, with the tempest howling fearfully around him, he perceived, by the fitful glimpses of the moon, a mangled arm protruding from the depths of the bog•hole, as if outstretched to heaven imploring vengeance. A stick being procured, the body was stirred, when a most revolting spectacle presented itself. A human head started out of the water ; the nose and one of the cheeks had been cut off, the eyes were gone, and the face otherwise fear , fully mutilated. On examination the limbs were found to be very much mangled, end the body in a state of putrescence and decomposition. To remove these hideous remains of mortality was a matter impracticable at that hour of the night, with the assistance Mr. Warburton had ; so he left his companion to keep watch while he drove off to Tulla, which was seven miles distant, it having struck him that the mutilated body in the bog must have been that of the missing Patrick Moore. When he reached Moore's mother in-law's house, he made fresh inquiry as to where Mrs. Moore and her husband were ' • the confusion and prevarication that ensued confirmed him in his idea of there being foul play. He then secured the attendance of a person who knew Patrick Moore, and could identify the body if it was his. On return ing to Rossmore bog with this man and a reinforce ment of police, they raised the body out of the hole, while doing so it fell into piecemeal, and the loath some members had to be placed in bags. The remains were immediately identified. On being removed towards Tulla, it was met by a procession of colliers, who placed the fragments of the body in a coffin, and bore it onward with marks o f d eep sorrow for their murdered comrade. I omitted to mention that in the morning the Sub inspector had placed the mother-in law, brother-in law, and sister-in-law of the deceased man under arrest. A jury having been collected, the body was viewed by them, and after a minute examination by Dr. Samuel Edge, it was consigned to mother earth. The assistance of the coroner, Thomas Budds, Esq , could not be procured until to day (Saturday), his duties in Mountmelick and elsewhere having pre cluded his attendance at Tolerton sooner. The jury having been sworn held the inquest at Grave's public house. Several witnesses were examined, and from them were elicited the facts just stated. The most remarkable part of this dark tragedy remains to be told. Never were the mysterious ways of Providence made mote manifest in bringing retribution home to the heartless'imurderer than in this case. On the morning of the inquest who should return home from Liverpool but Catherine Moore ; she had come home with a pitiful tale of how her unnatural and brutal husband had deserted her on the Quay of Liverpool, leaving her a lonely and unfortunate woman to beg her way home. Her astonishment—her horror on hearing of the discovery of•the mutilated remains of her husband, operated so strongly on her feelings, that she confessed her guilt, and all the appalling circumstances connected with it. It seems Moore's brains were beaten out on the night he was last seen with his wife, and that on the next day the wretched woman and her mother dislocated the limbs, so that they fitted on an ass's car ; being concealed by straw, they then proceeded to Itossmore bog, which was seven miles distant; and in the loneliest part of that lonely place they flung their gore clotted burden into an unclean hole. The jury, after some brief deliberation, found a verdict of wilful murder against Catherine Moore and Bridget Thompson, mother and daughter. Mr. Budds drew up a committal for them accord ingly; and they are to be transmitted to the county gaol at Maryborough, there to await for trial until next Spring Assizes. The principal evidence against these wretched women will be supplied by two per sons connected with them by the closest ties of con sanguinity. In closing this report, so illustrative of how far truth may be stranger even than fiction, it is but justice towards the sub-inspector, Mr. Warburton, to remark that his exertions in pursuing this horrible tragedy through all its dark details deserve the highest corn• mendation. On expressing our astonishment at the coincidence of the woman, after an absence of nearly four weeks, returning to the very spot where twelve men were holding an inquest on the putrid remains of the man whom she had murdered, we were in formed that Mr. Warburton, nct being able to dis charge from his mind the impression of Isloore's murder, wrote to the man with whom he had stopped during the previous trip to Liverpool, and who had been a friend of his, to ask if he and his wife arrived safe, and inquiring if he was aware of their getting off to America, as the neighbours were anxious to hear of their welfare. Mrs. Moore happened to be at the time an inmate of this very lodging. house at Liverpool. The man read the letter for her. She expressed her uneasiness, and said she should return home, as something must have happened to poor Pat. She accordingly left Liverpool for Tolerton, and reached at the very crisis when her presence was necessary for the fulfilment of the ends of justice. MADAME DULCKEN'S PIANOFORTE MATINEE, AT BRIDPORT.—This accomplished and distinguished pianiste visited Bridport on Monday last, and gave a musical matinee, at the Town-hall, to a select and intel ligent audience. It was a rich treat to the person of taste, to the musical amateur, to every admirer of superior talent. The precision, the power, the exquisite finish of Madame Dulcken's playing commanded but one feeling of admiration. The Grand Fantasia, by Schulhoff, she played with surprising ease and energy. The fantasia from Lucia, by Liszt, charmed the audience. The " March of the Croates ' " by Blumenth a l', was exquisitely performed. "La Cracovienne," new fan tasia, by Wallace, was executed by Madame Dulcken with finished beauty and power. The genius of a first rate artist was observable in all her performances. Hausmann's playing on the violoncello was very supe rior. A new fantasia by him was exquisitely given. De Kontski's performance on the violin was surprising. His "La cascade capriccio" and " Le-Pizzt-arco capriccio," with a new effect for the violin, were most powerful in their effect, and his playing on one string as he did astonished the assembly. He is the only pupil of Paganini,• . and has much of the air and enthusiasm of his great master. Herr Schonoff, and Mademoiselle Sophie Schloss, first soprano of the grand festivals in Germany, sung several pieces with great taste and beauty. The entire performance gave p e cu l iar satisfac tion, and Madame Duleken, by her bland and winning manner, excited the interest of all. Mr. Thai() Cochrane seems likely to become as distinguished a member of the literary world as he already is of the senate. His new work, "Ernest Vane," appears to have been put forth as a picture of existing society, in which, according to report, many portraits from living originals, have been introduced, with a degree of power and truthfulness that cannot fail of making a due impression on the reader. Particular re ference has been made to the characters of Lord Elvers fort, the diplornatist—Luttrel, the man of fashion— Leslie, the millionaire—Michel, the Jew—Percy, th e wit—and at least a dozen others, as likely to bp easily identified.

Our exports in the same time are fair of wheat, Indian corn, and flour, but light of other articles. The demand for wheat and flour during the week has only been to a limited extent, at prices rather in favour of buyers. New Irish wheat declined fully 2d per 70:b. Indian corn met a slow sale, and in the few transactions reported a reduction of fully Gd per 2801 b. was submitted to on yellow. White scarce, and fully as dear. Oats and oatmeal, with a fair inquiry, supported late rates. In barley, beans, and peas, but little has been passing, and we note no alteration in prices. At this day's market there was a thin attendance of the trade. Old wheat was in slow request, at a reduction of Id per 701 b. New Irish was exceedingly difficult to quit, and must be quoted 3d to 4d per 701 b lower, and several parcels remained unsold at the close. Irish sack flour, with a fair retail demand, receded is per 2801 b., but approved brands of American supported previous rates. Indian corn was freely offered at a decline of 6d per 480 lb, without leading to much business. Oats barely sup ported late rates, and oatmeal must be quoted 6d to is per 240 lb lower, with a fair demand for each. Barley, beans, and peas met with but little attention, and previ ous rates remain unchanged. New Irish wheat sold at very irregular prices, varying from 4s 9d up to 5s 6d per 70 lb, according to quality; oats, 2s 3d to 2s 6d per 45 lb; and oatmeal, 22s to 22s 61 per 240 lb. PRICES OF WOOL AND OIL AT LIVERPOOL.—WOOL-- Throughout last month the wool market has remained dull, and although the quantity here is but trifling, and few descriptions to make choice of, still there is not that inquiry which might have been anticipated, considering the brisk demand there is for manufactured goods, and the general activity prevailing in the consuming dis tricts ; nevertheless we see no cause for a reduction in low wools, The sales by private treaty are confined to a few parcels of. East India, Buenos Ayres ' Peruvian, Russian (to arrive) &c. The p r i ces obtained for East India are rather better than those realized at the public sales held here on the 29th and 30th August last. In Oporto and other sorts there is little doing. Buenos Ayres is offering freely at rather lower rates ; the stock is large, and the difficulty there is in getting it picked causes it to move off slowly. Scotch— Cheviot is in fair demand, but holders are seeking too high prices; cross and white Highland not much sought after; laid Highland has been sold 3d per 241bs higher than our quotations; however there is a good supply to be had at is 6d to Bs, and not many transac tions. English and Irish—Fleeces continue saleable at full prices; there is also a good demand for all kinds of skin; the stock here is much reduced. A series of public sales commenced in London on the 13th ult., and are still progressing; the attendance is small, and the competition languid; coarse wools sold at about current value, to recent transactions by private treaty, but fine kinds arc fully i per lb. lower, and a great deal is withdrawn. The London market is completely glutted with Australian, while ours is bare; the large quantity brought forward there at one time has the effect of de pressing the market. Oil—Sales have been large, prices are higher, and as it is calculated that there is a great deficiency in one description this year, manufacturers will have to consume olive, consequently we look for a still further advance. Many are refusing to sell at the present value.—(From Joseph Robinson and Co.'s Circular.) LEEDS, TUESDAY, OCT. 2.—We were well supplied with wheat to-day from the farmers, in addition to which many captains have brought samples from vessels down the river. The trade in wheat has ruled exceed. ingly dull, and new wheats are 3s per quarter, and old Is to 2c per quarter lower than this day week. Very little new barley is offering. In spring corn we note no alteration. Coax, OCT. I.—Flour—First 13s 6d to 14s ; extra 15s Od; seconds, 12s Od to 13s ; households 103 to 1 la; thirds, 6s to 8s per cwt.

A LANDLORD SOWING ON A SUNDAY—REAPING ON A SUNDAY—AND CARRYING OFF EIS CROPS ON SUNDAY.—Struggling farmers have been denounced in every form of abuse for carrying off or attempting to icarry off their crops on Sundays to save them from a e andlord and to save themselves and families from ruin; but we learn by a letter before us written by a collector of poor-rates, that a landed procrietor in the neighbour hood of Listowell, to place his crops out of the reach of the rate collector, actualty had his barley sown on Sun day, reaped on Sunday, and removed off his estate on Sunday! When a landlord thus leads the way in doing on Sunday what belongs to Monday, and for the object so much , decried in tenants, who can venture with any show of reason or justice to blame the latter for imitat ing so faithful►y their " very noble and approved good masters"?—.Kerry Examiner.
