EVENING SUN SPIRIT of the PUBLIC J OURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. STAN DA RD.—The day of election for a Profes sor of Poetry has been definitively fixed for Thursday, the 27th inst. The polling will commence at ten o'eleek in the morning, and will continue throughout the day. It was originally understood that the election would have taken place on the 26th ; but it has since been decided that the day should be altered to the 27th, and a formal notice has been issued to thet effect. We have already written and published much on the great question to be tried, but we could .not with a safe coascience relax in a case in which we firmly believe the clergy of England and the University of Oxford to be upon their trial. The election, we are informed by a . correspondent, must, according to usage, be made in a manner to preclude the identifica tion of voters. Much as men ought to 'dislike secrecy in any public act, the appeal to the Ballot in the present case is so far fortunate, as it obviates the main objec tion ()Were() to a contest, namely, that it would place friends in =nicest opposition. For our own part, we have no tenderness for friendship in such matters. It a friend perversely or stupidly takes a line which we believe to be sinful, we regard the tempera inconvenience to which he may expose himself b 3 such conduct as kind and wholesome chastisement, necessary to bring him to a sense of his sin, and which, therefore, it would not be the part of friendship to divert. Ou the other hand, men ought not to be ashamed to act right, who ever may act wrong. But be this as it may, all oVjection on personal grounds is removed by the form of the election. Much, however, has been said, and by men entitled to all respect, of the evil of any contest, however carried on ; but one consideration seems to be lost sight of by such as hold that a con test can be avoided. The public, including the whole body of laymen in the Church, have a right to know the opinions of their religious teachers, and the bias of the University at which their chil dren are to be educated ; and these they can now learn in no other way than by a clear, unequivocal de cision of the question now in issue. If Mr. Williams and his friends beat a charnade—we care not under what pretest, because we know them well enough to know that nothing but a certainty of ignominious defeat will cause them to retire—if Mr. Williams and his friends withdraw, or if they be signally defeated, as we trust they will be, upon a poll, the clergy of the Uni versity will preserve that glorious character which has been theirs for centuries. But (we will imagine no thing so terrible as a Tractarian triumph) a compro mise would be utterly fatal. The character of the clergy and of the University is, we repeat it, the pro perty of the country—a property which many of us look upon its - the most precious of all our national possessions ; hut this character has been aspersed by sectarian enemies. Oxford is, we will not say sus pected, but accused, of favouring the Romanist schism. TLe accusation was brought openly in the House of Commons, and boldly repelled as far as it could be by the testimony of individuals ; but now Oxford is called upon to render her own testimony in reply to this accu sation, and silence on her part will amount to a plea of guilty, and to a disavowal of her Parliamentary defenders. GLOBE.—In all the interminable discussions to which the subject of the Corn-laws has given rise, it has been customary for the friends of the present system to maintain, that if provisions would be purchasable for less money, through a reduction of the taxes on food, there would be a corresponding, or "even a greater diminution in the wages of those classes to whom the dearness of provisions is now the cause of so much misery. Without now entering into the merits of the question whether an alteration in the Corn-laws would have the effect of diminishing the income of a manufacturing operative so much as to leave him as badly off as he is at present—a conclusion that has been over and over again shown to be absurd—we may a Is.the advocates of dear living whether there is not in this country a frightful amount of distress among in dividuals whose scanty earnings could not be injuriously affected by the proposed measure for making bread cheap ; and who, while they gained as much or more than they can do now, would be enab'ed to obtain a much larger quantity of food for the same amount of money ? The ingenious disputants who deal with no• thing less lofty than commerce and agrictilture, the ma nufacturing, the trading, or the landed interests, with the statistics relating to each, as the only worthy subjects of their elaborate and sometimes radio mystical essays on political economy, would feel it to be an affront to their dignity were we to begin to talk to them about washerwomen, watermen, cab-drivers, charwomen, and those industrious individuals by whom mangling and ironing are done, or messages and parcels carefully de. livered ; but we can assure those gentlemen who de clare that cheap food will profit nobody, that if they would only walk into the humble apartments of the thousands of individuals belonging to the classes we have named, it would be found that in: many cases wretchedness might be relieved, in all comfort increased, and in none earnings•diminished, by a reduction in the cost of the ne3essary articles of nourisment. COURIER.--The system of fraud, falsehood, and murderous excitement against the --higher and more respectable orders and leading interests of the empire, unrelentingly pursued by the boisterous and disreput able chiefs of the Anti-Corn League, and the venal press at their command, not lass Ihul mouthed than themselves, has bad the natural effect of bringing, a bad cause into such utter contempt that not an Anti-Corn-law meeeng has taken place for som , time past which has not proved a miserabl, failure, so that now by common consent all suck gatherings are ranged in the category of farces unworthy of the slightest notice. From tumultuary a.semblages, formidable in some respects as the engines for an unprincipled faction to work with, they have dwindled indeed into hole and corner conclaves, of whose wherefores and' whereabouts nothing would ever he heard but for reports drawn up, or reporters subsidied b) themselves, with which, in default of better matter, or any decent matter at all, Whig-Radical journals are con tent to cram their pages in the dull and pacific times of a Conservative Government. To this happy dearth of ex citing news we owe, as may be supposed, the report o! the sayings and doings of an Anti-Corn-law conference lately 1141 in Edinburgh fur the special exhibition of some of those. Reverend, but not revered, humanity pre tenders, who now seem all holy fire and fluster about the riff,rings of the poor, although when their pious aid and . consolaiion was sought in the hour of utmost n el, and in behalf of the infant as 'well as the adult poor, .victims of factory iniqui ties of the deepest dye, during all the dismal night of anguish and suffering which preceded the Fac tory Bill, these mercenary shepherds were found blind and deaf to the cries and tortures of an in nocent flock, among whom the wolf was left to indulge his ravenous appetite nneheckA. Alas ! for the miserable flock ; they have neither the power to ply, nor to withhold clerical gifts and sa'aric', whilst their enemy, the wolf, is quite a la hauteur de see position, and understands how to work all the springs of the voluntary systeth to his own special use ead carnage. Tne same wolf which silenced the clerical sympathies of the voluntary school in behalf of the factory child and the Factory Bill, now sounds loud the bLst of war linst the agricultural poor, and In ! " black sprits and grey," with " drum ccrlesi title" and " eager for the fray," are up and stirring in town and village, exciting °nu class of the people to the de t •uct ion of another class, and preaching the abominable (loco ine that or ly by the annihilation of theagriculturnl population can the manufacturing operatives hope to achieve their daily bread. MONEY MARKET mid CITY NEWS. FROM THE !HORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. T I NIES. —lt is now stilted that the balance of stock which it was supposed the Government broker weal bring into the market has - been taken by the • Bank, but of course nothing is known of the price at which tl:e bargain %vaq made. The jobbers are much (li4pleased at the negotiation, as it is stated to have heen concluded without the itterventiOn of any member of that body, who invariably act as the " mid dle men" lictiteon the brokers. A &lane! e ter circular, reviewing the state of trade in that district for the past year, observes that it will he long remembered for its losses and embar rassments both to the spinner and manufacturer. The yew's business, it appears, commenced with heavy storks, which went on accumulating in con sequence of the small demand for goods, which in dueed several of the owners of factories to put their works on short time in March, and this course was adopted until the mouth of .May, when " short time" became nearly general, it being supposed that things had reached their lowest point. In June there was more business, and it was hoped matters had taken a hater turn. But in July depre,sion returned, failures increased, and business continued in the same un - .atisfatitory and languishing state through out the remainder of the year. In September an exten sive bas!neis was done for the Turkish and Alediterra nein markets, chiefly in coarse long cloths and domestics, which relieved the markets of these descriptions ; and in October a demand was experienced for twist for Russia and the Continent, but these had little or no effect in reviving business generally. The expecta tion of improvement entertained at the commencement o f the year was not without considerable influence on the twist market, for prices advanced materially by the middle of February, although they were not long maintained, but. were on the contrary fireed to a low point by ,the close of the yaar. Notwitk r standing this, the exports as compared with, the previous year showed an increase of 8,000,0001 h., being esti ' mated at 115,000,0 001 b. against 107,000,0001 h....„ ,The prineipalinerease was in the shipments to Germany, and to China, India, Sweden `{d Norway, Italy, and Turkey and Egypt. From the low prices current it is stated the chief attention of the owners of mills and factories had been directed to the working of them as cheaply as possible, and caused the employment cif fewer hands than formerly. However, much distress had been avoided among the operatives, for although they were working at wages poor enough, they would have been pladed in a touch worse position bad the owners stopped ,altogether, which it is f said would have been the moat prudent course for them to hive ! ve adopted to stem the torrent of depression which was thus heavily . bearing 'doWvi their property and i profits. Among the effects produced by ,the work ; it,g of short time, and the total stoppage of some j of the factories, - was the falling off of 12 ,670 bales in the weekly deliveries of cotton during the year, which reduced the consumption to nearly the same as i t was in 1839. There had been a considerable falling off in the home trade, which could only be ascribed to the diminution in the means which the operatives have had at their disposal for clothing. On the other hand, the exports had increased to almost every quarter, ex cept the British West Indies and the western coast of South America, and altogether the increase in exports had been great. Upon the general state of trade it is remarked that Manchester must not overlook the fact, that the causes which have paralysed her trade, have also worked as strongly in the major part of the other departments of the trade of the country, and must not, therefore, imagine that her trade has been more hea vily pressed on than others, and must bear in mind that the symptoms of improvement which now appear evident from the plentiful influx of bullion, the easy condition of the Bank, and the better results likely to arise from our more amicable position with our foreign relations, will as fully benefit her particular department as any other in the trade of the United Kingdom. LA W INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Jun. 15. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) THE CORPORATION OF DARTMOUTH V. HOLESWORTIL In this case a bill was filed by the Corporation of Dartmouth against the defendant, Arthur Howe Holes worth, and the object of the suit was that the plaintiffs might be relieved from the payment of a certain bond by having it delivered up to be cancelled, and that an in junction might be obtained to restrain proceedings at law upon that bond.. Mr. GIRDLESTONE, who opened the. case for the plaintiffs, said that the bond in question was dated May 22, 1833, and had been given to the defendant under the common seal of the Corporation, for the purpose of se curing to him the payment of the sum of 1,249/. Bs. 9d. with interest. That sum was the amount of costs of certain legal proceedings . which had been paid by the defendant ; and these proceedings were taken on a quo warranto instituted by the Attorney-General against the defendant and others formerly members of the Cor p Oration of Dartmouth. The Corporation consisted previously to the passing of the Municipal Corporations Act of h certain number of aldermen, two bailiffs, and and an indefinite number of freemen, the governing body being composed of a Mayor and Councillors, amounting altogether to twelve. The first charter constituting the Corporation was of the 3d Edward 111., in the year 1340 ; and by an Act of James 1., the Mayor and twelve burgesses were empowered to make by-laws bind ing on the. whole body. By a by-law passed in the month of September, 1706, it was enacted that no act of the Corporation should be legal unless the major part of the governing body should be present, and unless ten days' notice should have been given ,that a meeting of the body was to be held. In the year 1829 a gentleman of the name of Whitney was exercising the office of Mayor of the borough, and the defendant was at that time one of the aldermen. The defendant was a gentleman of great influence in the borough, in which he possessed considerable property, and which, previous to the passing of the Reform Act, he had for several years represented in Parliament. The defendant, at the time in question, also exercised a paramount influence in the nomination of the members of the Corporation. It occurred to cer tain burgesses and inhabitants of the borough that this influence had been illegally assumed, and as improperly exercised ; and a rule nisi was obtained in Michaelmas term 1829 by the Attorney-General at the relation of those parties, calling on Mr. Whitney, the Mayor, to show cause why an information of quo warranto should not be issted, calling upon him to show by what autho rity he exercised .his office. In Hilary term 1830 that rule was argued and the rule was made absolute. It ap peared that Mr. - Whitney not liking to undertake the defence of thOSe proceedings, Mr. Holesworth under took the defence for him ; and accordingly Mr..Holes worth authorised Mr. Robert Priddeaux, his private so licitor and the Town-clerk of the Corporation, to con luct the proceedings on his behalf. The rule having been made absolute, fifteen informations were filed against the Mayor and other individuals, two of whom, of the name of .Newman and Rennels, were at the time burgesses, but not aldermen. The defendant Holesworth, who was an alderman, was also one of the parties. The defendant undertook the defence to these proCeedings, Samuel fliddeaux, who had succeeded to the office of Robert Priddeaux, deceased, acting as his solicitor. y ln Trinity Term, 1830, judgment was given with costs against :he Mayor, 'Whitney, upon the information filed against him. It appeared that on the 1 lthJune, 1830, there had been a meeting held by some members of the Corporation, and a memorandum was- signed at that meeting by Mr. Whitney, tho Mayor, by Thomas Newman, Henry Holesworth, Joseph Parke, Edward Brooking, Robert Holesworth, and Frank Rennels, who were all lmong the individuals against whom the infor mations had been filed. That memorandum w,as to the effect,-that the defence to the informations should he left to the defendant. It appeared, however, to the parties on further inquiry, that n o d e f ence could be set , ip against the informations; and the consequence was hat, after the defence had been proceeded with to a certain point, disclaimers were instituted upon all ,he informations then pending, and the result was, that judgment with costs was given against the defendant. The costs amounted to the sum o f 1,249/. Bs. 9d., and those costs were paid by Mr. Holesworth. No claim had been made upon the Corporation for the payment of :hat sum, either by Mr. Holesworth or by his solicitor, !Mal the month of April, 1833, although there had in the meantime been many dealings between the Corporation mid the defendant. In the month of April, 1833, however, If r. Holesworth made out a bill of costs for the amount of the expenses of the legal proceedings ; and thal bill was forwarded, on the 15th of that month, to the then Nlayor, Mr. Strong. On the same day a meeting of the Corporation was held, at which there were but five mem bers preSerit, together with the defendant, who assisted :here as Recorder, at which the claims of Mr. Holes worth were discussed, and a resolution was passed that the subject should be taken again into considera tion at an adjourned meeting. Mr. Harkstone, however, one of the aldermen present, refused 'to sign that resolution, so that it had only the .i?, - natures of the Mayor, and of three other individuals, who were among the parties against whom the informa tions had been filed. On the 22d of April a meeting was held, at which two gentlemen, of the names of Codner and Harris, were created aldermen; and on the !Gilt of May, 1833, another meeting was held at which eight aldermen assisted. At that meeting a resolution was, passed to the effect that-the town seal should be af fixed to a bond, for the purpose of securing to Mr. Holes worth the amount, of the legal expepses he had incurred. It appeared, however, that Memrs : Codner and Harri s , two of the, gentlemen present, had 'refused at first to sign the resolution ; but their scruples were removed by certain representations made to them, but which it was contended were false. T heyi were told among other things that Counsel had been consulted, who declared the legality of Mr. llolesworth's claim, although there was no evidence that that representation was true. The Municipal Corporation Act was subsequently passed, and the : consequence was that the new Corporation refused to pay the amount of the - bond. Mr. Holesworth brought an action before the Court of Queen's Bench against the Corporation for its payment ; to that action three pleas had been put in. Those pleas were over rule t by the Court, and the question at common law was therefore disposed of. But the Corporation came before this Court on their equitable claim. It was contended that they had no right to pay the amount of the bond. At the meeting at which the bond had been granted it had been represented that the sum was a deb t owing by the Cor poration to Mr. Holesworth ; That the expense had been in curred at the request of the Corporation, and that Couns e l had been consulted as to the legality of the claim. These re.; presentations, however, were, false ; and the members who empowered Mr. itolesworth to conduct the le'al proceedings had not acted as a corporate body, and a sufficient number of the Corporation had not . been pre- sent at the proceedings. The plaintiff was not, therefor( entitled in equity to the payment of the bond. Mr. WAKEFIELD having argued at some length against the application made to the Court, on the ground th a t there were no equitable grounds for refusing to the de fendant the sum he had expended, and which had been insured to him by the bond, the further hearing of the ease was postponed till Monday. (Before Vice-Chancellor BRUCE.) His Honour did not sit to-day, in consequence of a Privy Council at Windsor. SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 14,—The Dee, West India mail packet, left Southampton with a large number of passengers at one o'clock this afternoon. She will re ceive the mail for the West Indies, Mexico, and New Orleans, at Falmouth, on the morning of the 17th inst. - We believe it is now no longer secret that Sir Robert Peel has been compelled to succumb to the mo nopolists in the Cabinet. Whatever intentions he might have of proposing a change in the Starvation-laws, in some degree approaching to the public expectations, have been so pared down and modified, as to be no longer objects of alarm to the Buckingham and Knatchbull section of the Cabinet, and consequently will be impo tent for good to the interests which are crushed nearly out of existence by the pressure on their energies. RYLEBONE VESTRY.--Oh Saturday, at the usual weekly meeting of the Vestry, it was agreed, on the motion of Mr. Gomm, that the poor in the work house should, on the day of the christening of the Prince of Wales, be treated to the same luxuries as on Christ mas-day. Mr. Joseph moved that the out-door poor, up wards of 6,000 in number, be also on that day of general rejoicing supplied with the means of festive enjoyment. The motion was opposed by Messrs. Gomm and liirlyon on the ground of the want of precedent, but was eventu ally carried. It was also agreed, on the motion of Mr. Foster, that a holiday should;. on the happy occasion, be allowed to all the poor persons in the employ of the pa .tish, without any deduction being made from their wages. Mr. Clapp then moved that all the poor-rate payers who lint distress warrants in their houses fOr the non-pay ment of rates should be exempted from the payment of these rates. The motion was lost,. Mr. Gibson having carried, by 17 to 11, a motion for proceeding to the next business of the day. Thirty-three ton.: of sugar, made from potatoes, ere lately seized in some premises in Prince's-square, St. George's-in -the-East, where more than twenty men were at workin the manufacturO of that article, which is sold by the grocers w i t h a mixture of the aSt India produce. All the men pretended extreme ignorance as to whom was their employer. 7 . • - - • 14.1 SUN; LONDON, MONDAY, - JANUARY 17, 1542. POLICE INTELL/GNCE. _ I E MANSIOIV-HOUSE. - A man named John Mapp was brought before Al derman Hooper, charged with. having robbed - his em ployer of cash to a considerable amount. Mr. Bensfield, of lioundsditch, stated that the prisoner was a porter in his employment, who took`the opportunity , of robbing the safe early in the morning by means of a skeleton key, and that a great deal of the money and the skeleton key had been found at his lodgings. Robberies of com paratively trivial kind had been . committed in the house -before, but two or three suspected 'persons having been discharged, it was supposed that the security was per fect. The prisoner had been drinking during the previous part of the week, and did not come to his work until the morning on which the robbery was committed. Daniel Forrester, the officer, stated that upon being sent for to investigate the circumstances of the robbery he was led to suspect, on hearing some matters, that Mapp was the thief. Hef accordingly proceeded without delay to the lodging of the prisoner, and, upon, seeing him, put a question to him, which startled him so much as showed that the suspicion was well founded. Witness proceeded to search the room, and found in a bag. which the pri soner endeavoured to conceal, 231. in gold and silver, and in a box 26Z 10s. in gold, and a skeleton key, which, on being applied to the draWer of the safe which had con tained the money that had been stolen, at once opened it. The prisoner said that the money was his own, which he had saved from the wages he received from Mr. Bens field. Mr. Bensfield said that he paid the prisoner a pound a week, and that .of late the man was much given to drink and neglected his business. The prisoner was remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. For the last week or two the time of the sitting Ma gistrate at this Court has been taken up by complaints laid by the police, in consequence of applications to the Police Commissioneri by the inhabitants against omnibus drivers, for stopping at the White Horse Cellar, Picca dilly, and at the corner of Princes-street and Coventry street. In every case the Magistrate has inflicted fines, varying from ss. to 205., and has, in addition, intimated to the offending parties, that a stop will be put to the nuisance, and that in all future cases the highest penalty will be inflicted. On Saturday a great number of these cases were brought before Mr. Hardwick. The drivers pleaded that the blame did not rest with them ; they were engaged to drive the omnibus only, and the regulation of the omni bus was entirely in the hands of the conductoiS. They did not want to stop on the road, or otherwise infringe the law, but they were compelled to do as the conductor ordered, or they must submit to lose their places. The entire blame of stopping at different places rested with the conductors. Mr. HARDWICK admitted the force of the argument, but said he could not allow it to operate, as he was bound to administer the law as it stood. The drivers must enter into some compact with their conductors, or if they do not, they must still be subject to informations. The drivers were, all fined ss. and costs. LAMBET_H-STREET. The cue of Mr. Henry John Smith, who was charged last week with seducing the wife of Mr. Hunter, landlord of the Greycoat Boys' Tavern, Greenwich, and also stealing a quantity of property belonging to the husband, was called on for the second time. Mr. Shaw, a Solicitor, who attended for Mr. Hunter, stated that since the last examination of the prisoner a further search had been made at his residence at Brom ley, and some towels belonging to Mr. Hunter had been found there ; but he now wished that the case shOuld be postponed to a future day, for the purpose of making further inquiry into the matter, since it was supposed that many bundles of clothes had been removed from Mr. Hunter's house. . To this Mr. Pelham objected on behalf of Mr. Smith, as the only reason why the case was last time postponed was to ascertain whether any other property belonging to Mr. Hunter could be found in Mr. Smith's residence. It turned out that the only property which could be found consisted of two napkins used by Mrs. Hunter, and which any person of ordinary delicacy would not have taken away. If Mr. Smith should now be remanded, it would go forth to his disparagement. iMr. NORTON told Mr. Shaw if he had any witnesses to the fact of property having been removed from Mr. Hunter's, he had better call them. Mary Ann Maybrook, who had been servant to Mr. and Mrs. Hunter, was then called. She had seen Mr. Smith at Mr. Hunter's house ; he came on Easter Tues day evening, and slept at the house that night. Mr. NORTON—Do you recollect whether your master was at home that night or not ? Witness—He was at home, Sir. On the Saturday evening following Mr. Smith came to her master's, and while there Mrs. Hunter desired her to cook some lamb-chops for him, but her master coming in when she was about to take them to the parlour, Mrs. Hunter told her she must not take them in, nor must Mr. Hunter see them.. This was before Mr. Hunter forbid Mr. Smith his house. Some time in the month of July Mr. Hunter went to Margate. He left on the Saturday, and on the following day (Sunday) she observed Mr. Smith walking up and down in front of the house, and on seeing her he beckoned her to come to him. She went d own s t a i rs f or t h e purpose o f going to him, and found him .in the bar with Mrs. Hunter, and then went into the public parlour, where Mrs. Hunter followed him.. This was between five and six o'clock in the evenirw. Mr. Smith went out and returned several times, and left for good at eleven o'clock. Mr. NORTON—Did you see if the window-blinds were drawn down ? Witness—No. Mr. NORTON :Was this after your master had forbid the prisoner his house? Witness—Yes. The witness then went on to say that she took a parcel which had been made up by Mrs. Hunter to the foreign grocer's in Trafalgar-street, Greenwich, and which she said was to be called for by the gentleman who had been in there with a lady a short time before, who wrote a note and purchased some cigars; but the people in the shop le fused to take it in witout a proper direction, and she took it back to her master's house. On observing her return with the parcel her mistress exclaimed, " Good God Almighty, Mary, you must not let your master see it;" and instantly took it up stairs and directed it for Mr. 11. J. Smith, to be called for, and sent her back to the grocer's with it. The witness also took a large par cel, as much as she could carry, made up in a table cloth, and which, among other things, contained three dresses belonging to Mrs. Hunter, to Mrs. Buxton's, in Green wich, and these she had not afterwards seen. She left the service of Mr. Hunter on the 24th of July, and she had not seen Mrs. Hunter since that time. Cross-examined—Said she recollected Mrs. Hunter taking cake and wine into the'parlour to Mr. Smith, and stopping there with him for some time on' the occasion, and for this it was that her master forbade Mr. Smith's cominc , to his house again. She had no doubt, she said, that her mistress, Mrs. Hunter, liked Mr. Smith better than her husband, and on one occasion she saw Mrs. Hunter and Mr. Smith on the sofa together, with Mr. Smith's arm round her waist. She also recollected Mrs. Hunter going away one Sunday in the month of May, and stopping out all night, but returned home on Mon day evening. Eliza _Durant, the bar-maid, gave similar evidence. Benjamin Phillips, a pot-boy to Mr. Hunter, deposed to having taken bundles to Mrs. Buxton's, at the request of his mistress, but he did not knOw ,who they were for, nor did he know the person of Mr. Smith. These being all the witnesses in attendance, Mr. SHAW expressed a hope the prisoner would be remanded. Mr. Pelham complained of the course pursued by the opposite side, and said the charge of Mony endeavoured to be imputed to his client was without a tittle of evi dence to support it. Mr. NORTON did not think the prisoner had so much to complain of, as there was no doubt whatever that any jury hearing the evidence adduced there on that day must come to a decision of his being guilty of adultery, Mr. Pelham replied that he was not there to defend his client on a charge of critn. con., but on a charge of felony ; and, however foolishly or immorally he - might have acted, this-was not .the'proper place to try such an issue, and as there was no charge before his Worship affecting the ',prisoner of which lie could take cognizance, he trusted he, would not longer detain hint. Mr. NORTON could not help admiring the zeal with which the Learned Counsel (_Mr. , Pelharn) defended his Client, but still, when he recollected the situation he (the prisoner) had placed himself in, he must not won der at what had occurred, and that stMicient time should be giyen, to the prosecutor to make the fullest inquiries into the matte" Mr. Pelham observed that the delay was of the most serious consequence to the accused, inasmuch as he wss suspended from the duties of his office, and another re mand might lead many. to think that he was guilty of the charge imputed to . him--a charge of. whiCh he was totally innocent and clear. Mr. NORTON said the prisoner was not charged with stealing the goods missed by the prosecutor, but the con structive taking. Mr. Shaw replied that this was the charge. Mr. Pelham . said he had several respeetable:indivi dual3 to speak to the high character of the accused, and amongst them his uncle, who was for many • years a Common Councilman and Chairman of thQ Navigation . Committee. Mr. NORTON thought that, under the circumstances, he was bound to give time for further inquiries, and the accused was admitted . on the same sureties who had been previously bound for - him to apear on a f u t ure d ay. • U -HAL E :IV • John Williams was brought up, charged with entering the" house of MrS:Elizabeth White, in Stanhope -place, SOUthwark, by means of a picklock key, and stealing watch and other articles, the property of that lady. It appeared that on the preceding night the com plainant, while sitting in her parlour after tea, was sur priseduliepnc,ae of c9 n a t4 c i l u o a g l ibVahrikehingwaasndkeexpht exhibiting n iti t n h g e symptoms • • premises i nkeepinglooking g stlessness every now and then running - hi n se o v t e lei al lt t u im ri es ng , t t i o le a c s o c m en p d iain A an s t t i li v e as a al im le a ng l t r i e l p i e n a d l ed t To s proceed up stairs, accompanied by the dog, when it became more noisy than ever, and on entering the room she at once perceived that'thieves had been in the room, - for the plate-basket had been removed from its usual ' place, and some china had been taken out of the closet and laid upon the floor. As there was a strong smell oflucifer matches in the room, the complainant, apprehensive that some One was concealed- there, and her fears being increased from the circumstance of the clog still con tinuing to bark, she went down to the street-door and asked for a policeman, but not finding one, the com plainant, seeing a gentleman pass, requested him to enter the house, at the same time communicating her suspi cion with respect to a thief being concealed on the pie mises. The. gentleman, whose name is Lay; immediately complied with the request, and having ascended to the complainant's bed-chamber, on examining the room, the prisoner was at length discovered lying down at his f u ll length between the, bed and mattress.' When he was dragged from his hiding place there was found concealed in his pockets a watch, which had been taken out of the drawing-room, also several silver.spoons, together with other articles, On subsequent extuinatiou.of-th e -house it was d:scovacd that the prisoner must have effected • an entrance by means of a picklock Jccy applied to the street-door lock, and that, in all probability, he was in the act of walking along the passage when the dog al ready alluded to began to bark, and which ultimately led tO the - itiscovery and apprehension of the thief. The prisoner, who said nothing in his defence, teas committed. - TRIAL of DE LAN UNT for MURDER. DUBLIN, JAN. 14.—Nothing could surpass the ex citement this day about the Commission Court, in con sequence of it being fixed for the trial of John Dela hunt for the murder of the boy Thomas Patrick Ma guire, last December, under circumstances of unprovoked atrocity. The wretched culprit stood at the bar the greater part of the day with Lis hands grasping a hand kerchief applied to his face. An occasional glimpse showed him to be of forbidding aspect, greatly increased by the haggard and perturbed appearance of lifs coun tenance. The Hon. Justice TORRENS and Baron PENNE FATHER were the sitting Judges. On being arraigned the prisoner pleaded " Not guilty." Mr. BREWSTER, Q.C., state] the case for the prose cution. William Butler, a boy about nine years old, exa mined—l live in Plunket-street. 1 knew Thomas Maguire, who also lived there. I was playing with him in Blickhall-row on Monday before Christmas-day, about four o'clock, or a little after. John Fox and Pat Fox were with us. A man came and called him away, and he went with him in the direction of Patrick-street. He never saw the man since, and would not know him if he did. Cross-examined—l knew the hour exactly, because beard a clock strike in Plunket-street before I went to Blackball-row. Margaret Delabunt, examined by Mr. BREWSTER— I know the prisoner. He is the brother of my husband. I remember the evening of Monday, the 20th of De cember. I saw_tite-pri§oeer on that evening at my lodg ings, at the coiner of Llt'Cia Britain-street. He had a little child with him whir him when he came in. The . child was about nine years old, and had dark hair with curls about its forehead.. He had a dark jacket and nankeen trousers, with nothing on his feet. It was about five o'clock when he came in, and his mother, who lived with her (witness), asked him him what kept him out all day ? and he said he had been at the Caste with Major Brown. Ho said he had a little gentle man with him, and I turned round and saw the child. I asked the child what his name was, and the prisoner said he would not speak. -I asked him was he hungry, and he said he was, and I gave him a potatoe. I asked him his name, and he said, Tommy Maguire." 'He said his father was a baker, but he could not tell where he lived. 1 toll the pri soner for Gnu's sake to take him home, as his parents must be distracted about him. The child had a mark on his forehead, apparently received in infancy. The prisoner said he had got the child's address from a policeman, and I said it was a wonder some policeman cues not sent with him home He said the policeman, Mr. Barrett, was on duty, and could not go with him. The prisoner then went away with the child. I saw the prisoner two hours after, and when he returned to the room I asked him what he did with the child, and he said he left it at the corner of Buckingham street, and that it then knew its way home. I saw the child afterwards dead on Tuesday night. I am positive it was the same child the prisoner had with in the room.— (A knife was here handed to the witness, and she stated that it was her knife, and the only one she had). I saw that knife on Monday, at breakfast. The prisoner was at breakfast with me that morning. I missed it in the course of the day when asked for a loan of it. I could not then find it, nor on Tuesday, when I searched minutely for it. • I saw the prisoner sharpen this knife on the Saturday previous, along with his brother's knife. The prisoner never slept in my house after that Monday. Cross-examined by Mr. WaLsx—Had a quarrel with prisoner some time ago. He got me put in the station house on a charge of deserting a child in his brother's ball. I lived with his brother, and had a child by him, which I went on that occasion to leave with him. The brother was in the room, and went out in disguise with a bonnet and cloak on. I suppose the prisoner did all he could to prevent his brother from marrying me. It was about a year after the prisoner put me in the station house that I was married to his brother. I did not_ speak freely to him since until lately. When the pri saner brought the child to my room it was by candle light I saw hiM. It was a halfpenny candle on a chair by the fireside. I saw the body of the child by candle light on the next evening. I could not be mistaken as to the chill. I was too long looking at it to be mis taken. It was positively the same child I saw dead that was brought by the prisoner to my room.—(Much sensation.) Ido not expect any reward for coming here, nor would I take it.—(The witness was much affected during the latter portion of her testimony.) Eliza Mason examined by Mr. M'Kane-1 live in Easttnorland-lane, near B iggot-street Bridge. I know the prisoner at the bar for five or six months. I re member seeing the prisoner at the bar on the Monday befOre Christmas-day, in Baggot-street-row, about fine or six in the evening. I met him near Mrs. Fitz's house. There were some other children with me. I saw John Delahunt pass by, and I ran after him - and spoke to him. There was a little child about six or seven years of age I think with him. He had a coarse linen bib and a cap on him. I asked him where he was going, and he said he had a strange child with which Mr. Barrett, of the Castle, had sent him borne. I spoke to the child, and Sohn Delahunt said he lived ne it BA's-bridge, taking the word out of the child's mouth. I asked the boy what his name was, and he said Tommy Macguire." The prisoner heard him say that. I asked the prisoner to come back and see my Mother, and he said he would in the course of half an hour. He went off in the direction of Ball's-bridge with the child. He returned in the course of half an hour to my mother, and he had not the child with him. I asked him did he find its parent... He said that when he came to Ball's -bridge the child kne.v its way home from that, and he had left it then. I saw a dead child afterwards at Irislitown. It was the same child that John Delahunt load with him the Monday before Christmas-day. Christopher Lennox, 83 B, examined by Mr. M'KANE —I was called on by the last witness on the 20th o December, about ten minutes before seven o'cllck. In consequence of what she told me I went to Stable-lane, an saw a dead child there. I got a light and felt him. He was - very warm and bleeding. He was lying oa his right side. The place where he was lying was out;,ide the Circular-road. When the light came I saw that its throat was cut. The inspector found a cap, which I saw afterward?. The cap was lying ten or lilcen perches from the body. By the Ccurtt—Buckinginm-stre e t is off Summer hip. L d o no t know of • any street or placo of that name near Baggot-street. The place where the body was found is 600 yards from Bull's-bridge. Edward Barlett, 72 A, exaniked by Mr. MAITLEY —ldentified a child's cap and a large stone, with marks of blood on it, found ',ear the cap, as found in the lane on the evening of the murder. Thomas Gavin, a boy ten years of age, examined by Mr. BREWSTER—Swore to finding the knife op posite to Dzlahunt's hall, about 20 yards' distance from it. (The knife was the one identified by Margaret a!lahunt as h er p ro p ert y ) Alter some further evidence, the case for the Crown elo:ed at a quarter before three. Mr. CURPAN then proceeded to address the Jury for the prisoner, and brought forward some objections, which were reserved for argument. Baron PENNEFATHER tLea_ proceeded to charge the Jury. At five - o'clock the Jury retired to consider their vJr. diet. The Jury, after being out of Court for twenty minutes, returned and handed in a verdict of Guilty. The prit.oner heard the finding of the Jury without any visible emotion. Baron PENNEFATHER said that certain objections had teen brought forward by the prisoner's CJunset, and the Court would not pass sentence until they had been tbspused Of. They would sit at eleven o'clock to-mor row to hear theta argued. This course did not, how ever, impugn the propriety of the verdict which bud been given. 15.—The point of law raised in favour of the convicted mu r d erer, D elahunt , wa s heard at great length, and the Court finally ruled it t 3 be of no moment. i nsentence. the The H o n.

RIDGE'S BANKRUPTCY. A second meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Ridge, bankers, was held yesterday at Chichester, when several debts were proved, principally of small amount, and the Commissioner, Mr. R. W. MISSING, adjourned the meeting till this morning at 10 o'clock, when the bank rupts presented themselves, and Mr. C. Ridge was subjected to an examination by Mr. Montagu Cham bers, a barrister retained by the assignees, and Mr. W. Ridge and Mr. Newland were requested to retire. The Commissioners present were, Mr. R. Missing, Mr. W. Douglas, and Mr. E. Padden ; the three assignees were also present.- Mr. Newland, solicitor, attended on behalf of the b:inkrupts. The amount of debts proved is as follows : s. d. At the last meeting...... 115.475 11' 1 Ditto on the 4th instant 7,171 410 Total 122,646 15 11 Mr. Charles Ridge was called, and examined by Mr. CHAMBERS. After stating that he joined tlfb firm in 1813, and that on the death of his father, in 1829, he believed the bank was solvent, he proceeded to say he knew that some of the debtors to the firm had become insolvent and bankrupt, but did not treat them as bad debts. All the debts due to the firm from insolvents and bankrupts, and other persons, and the debts hope less of collection, were introduced into the accounts made up in April, 1830, so as to form part of the assets of the firm. • - Mr. CHAMBER 3 proceeded to interrogate him on his statement of the solvency of the firm at that period.' Will you refer to the account made up at that date, and state from it the amount of the assets of the firm then ?—The debtors' side exhibits a total of 208,002/. 12s. ; but there are two items which should be set off from that-2,8111. for notes that Glyn and Co. had paid for us, notes of the firm being paid by them, and 23,1071.75. 4d. What item is that ?—lt is what is in bankers' lan guage called " the rest." Deducting the notes paid by Glyn and Co., and what you call " the rest," will the residue give the amount due at that time from persons indebted to the firm ? It would represent the debts actually due to the firm, upon securities or otherwise. Can you state what the amount of the liabilities of the firm was on the 30th of April, li3o ?—I cannot. Is there no account-book existing, made up to the 30th of April, 1830, which contains a distinct item, stating the amount of the liabilities of the firm then ? Does not the private profit and loss book, folio 10, show it ? (Book produced.) Is not 208,0021. entered there, as the liabilities of the firm at that date ?—lt is not. What is it meant to represent P—Totals taken from the general balance-book, with draughts in circulation, acceptances unpaid, and private accounts. Are not all the items which form that total liabilities? —Yes, except two, one of 36,7001., and the other 20,000/. ; these are note accounts ; and two others marked " sundry persons.' What arc note accounts ?—The amount of notes made. Do you class creditors on the estate, the two note accounts you mentioned, and the two called " sundry persons," under the head of liabilities ?—They are not. Do the entries " note accounts" represent notes made for circulation, including those actually in circulation, as well as those in the hands of the firm 7—Yes. Then can you state the amount of notes in circula tion on the 30th April, 1830, merely by looking on the right hand side of that account ?—I cannot. Can you by referring to any other entries ?—I think not. Will not folio 10, of book 3, show the amount of liabilities of the firm on the 30th April, 1830, and if not, why not ?—I do not think it will, because many of the liabilities are in off-set. Am Ito understand that in making up the accounts on that day the liabilities were not ascertained ?—They were not. Were there any means taken to determine whether the firm were then solvent or insolvent 1 ) --I am not aware. The examination had not proceeded further than this, being confined to the state of the firm on making up the accounts in the April subsequent to the death of the senior Mr. Ridge, when Mr. Chambers stated it was his intention to trace the state of the accounts from that period up to the present time. The COMMISSIONER adjourned the examination until the 16th of February. Two whole days were thus consumed merely to ascer tain if the bank was.solvent when the elder Mr. Ridge died ; but not a question was asked as to whether the hank was solvent 33 months before, when the present Mr. W. Ridge joined it, which was only two days after the death of Mr. Richard Murray. The fact to be ascertained, if such be useful, is what presumed balance of property was handed over to the executdrs of Mr. R. Murray, and what to the representatives of the elder Mr. Ridge. None other could be useful, for that would be a better presumption of the then real state of the case. NAVAL. INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 15.—'Che Warspite, 54, Captain Lord John Hay,. went out of harbour yesterday, and the Vindictive, 54, Captain J. T. Nicolas, C. 8., to day. The Warspite proceeded to the Downs this morning, and will be followed at daylight to-morrow, by the Vindictive, both to join the Forrnidabl., when the whole will sail for Ostend, to escort the King of Prussia to this country. Orders were given yesterday for two of the Royal Pages to hold themselves in readiness to embark on board the Firebrand, steamer, at Woolwich, on Monday next, to attend on their Majesties during the voyage from Wend, where it is understood King Leopold will meet the Prussian Monarch. The Fire brand will also convey the Marquis of Exeter, Groom of the Stole to Prince Albert, or Earl Hardwicke, ,as the Lewd-in-Waiting, and the Prussian Minister, to escort the King of Prussia to this country. His Majesty will embark at Ostend on Thursday next. Tim Cambrian, 36, Capt. Chads, C. 8., with Lord Ellenborough, Governor-General of Lithe, on board, arrived at TeneritTe on the 22d - Nov. The Southampton, Pearl, and Partridge, arrived at Monte Video, frop Rio Janeiro, on the 30th Oct. The Aigle s tiled from Gibraltar on the 24th ult. The Malabar arrived there on the same day from Ply mouth. The Java transport, with detachments of troops, arrived at Gibraltar on the 20th ult. The Lynx, 3, Lieut. Burslem, is to go to the West India station from Lisbon, to follow the Heroine, 10, Lieut. Stewart. On Wednesday night it blew hard from the south east, which raised a little sea at Shithead ; the Queen, in consequence, parted her bpwercable with 120 fa thoms out, but was brought up by her sheet anchor. She is reported to have pitched an 4 rolled much more than could have been expected. The Rhadamanthus steam transport is •hourly ex pected here from ,the eastward, on her way to Gibral tar, with naval and military stores, and a detachment of sappers and miners for the garrison. The new steamer Thunderbolt was launched at this dockyard on Toutsday, and taken into dock to be coppered. Her dimensions are as follow :—Her length of keel for tonnage, 155 ft. 114 in. ; extreme breadth, 36 ft. ; depth in hold, 21 ft. ; burthen, in ton;, 1,055. The Thunderbolt is fitted with Captain G. Smith's paddle-box boats, which, in her, arc thirty feet long, and nine feet six inches wide ; and the remissness of Government in not so fitting all mereol-war steamers, • cannot be more amply shown than in the state to which the Avon might have been reduced, a few' daYs.sipee,when she was found to be on fire ; and thenll only a few miles from the Irish coast, was in capable, herself, of furnishing her crew and passengers w?th the means of escape, had it been requisite. The Growlet has been so fitted, and the Geyser is ordered tu be. Altogether, aboUt 30 steamers have adopted this useful improvement, including 14 belonging to the Royal West India Mail Company. A serious respon .sibilitv now falls on all Companies and Owners of StTam packets, who do not avail themselves of this safeguard to their customers and passengers. And we regret to find that officers of the Queen's yawls have in more than one instance, so raised objections as that a ship has been sent to sea without these boats having beca supplied, though orders have been given to that effect, Insinuations have been thrown out to the detriment of Mr. Grant's Patent Fuel, that it was liable to spon taueous combustion, the Admiralty have submitted it to Professors Farraday and Brandt, who both report that it is impossible it can ignite of itself, whatever degree o f heat, devoid of flame, or whatever degree of friction it may be subject to.

There seems to be -no end to the " investigations" which are required into the working of the Anatomy Bill. We have for some time been aware that another of these inquiries was in progress; but probably should have postponed making any, reference to it, had not the daily press taken up the subject. Under these circum stances delicacy ni) longer forbids us to lay the facts be fore our readers. Some time ago the bodies of several paupets were ' taken from the St. Marylebone workhouse, acid em ployed for anatomical - purposes in the usual .manner. According to our information, the entire number dis- pose of on the occasion alluded to was eight, while only six were entered on the "BOok- of Deaths" kept by the master of the workhouse ; yet eight, as we have just said, were entered in the in spector's returns, and these --were mostly sent, in the first instance, to 'University College, and, such as were not required there, wore afterwards distributed among the other schools. Their distribution, however, is not the point which at present concerns us, but this—that although, according to the smaller computation, six bodies had been taken from the Marylebone workhouse, yet an' examination of the register exhibited no sign of any burial ever having taken place ; and the attention of the Board of Directors and Guardians having been ar rested by'this omission, the subject was brought before the Vestry, and a considerable degree of excitement was the result. Inquiries were instituted on the subject; and from these it appeared, that there is a burial ground called " Globe Fields,'" in the parish of'Stepney, .Mile-end, to which place, of interment all the bodies alluded to had been carried. Now the allegation is that the cemetery, in question is not consecrated ; but that thither, never theless, the bodies of all, w h ether of the Church of Eng land or otherwise, had been taken. The funeral service was performed by Mr. Cpach, a preacher who officiates . for Mr. Tagg, the proprietor ofj Mr. HACKMAN observed that the Committee had been engaged since the 19th of November, in order to o btain relief for the destitute weavers in that district, and d 0 ing that period they had received no reward for the ir services. The weavers had not the means to make thef i any compensation, a n d as i t was b ut j ust that they s hould have some, he would move the following resolution " That this meeting appreciate the services of the' Committee, and regret the inability of the trade to 'Nl''' . date their' bills, and they most respectfully embrace th is opportunity of recomme n di ng to the Central Relief mittee .the propriety of appropriating a portion of th e funds to rec om p ense t h em f or their great exertions i n the cause of the distressed operatives of the district." Mr. PIPK.IN seconded the resolution, and it was pass ed unanimously. Another resolution. was also agreed to, that a depillf y. tion of three weavers be appointed to wait on Mr. Ita i n. bury, to req ues t hi m to use his influence to carry 0° above resolution into effect. Mr. Fox said that, a few weeks ago, a discussion tooik place at a meeti ng o f th e tra d e upon the subject e ,4„ - tie employment of the Spitalfields weavers at the stone-P r of the workhouSe, when it was resolved that a m emoria should be sent to the Poor Law Commissioners, With request that an exemption should be allowed to the sill' . weavers of that district. Copy of the answer from the Poor-law Commissioner! 4: "Poor-law Commission-office, Somerset-house, Jan. l4. "Sir—l am directed by the Poor-law Cominissione,_ to acknowledge the receipt of your l e tt er of the 12t e l c i instant, forwardin g t o t h em a copy of a resolution pas s „f at a meeting of th e operat i ve b road silk weavers -0, Bethnal-green, Spitalfi e ld s , an d t h e v i c i nity, respect' the employment of paupers at the workhouse in the 62]. trict at stone-breaking, and I am to state that the Cerf l ; missioners will inquire. as' t o th e a ll ege d , i n j ur i ous efl:e c of 'this mode of providing labour for paupers. "I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, " C. CHADWICK, SecretarY , " Mr. T. ClaiSse, 3, South-street Hart-lane, Bethnal' green-road." After a lengthened conversation respecting; the suffe r : ings of the district, and the distribution of the mon e y paid into the hands of the Lord Mayor, the meet" broke up about twelve o'clock.
