MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS• FROM THE MORNING PPAERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 84 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 36k, and the ex change at Paris on Loudon at short being 25 50, it follows, that gold is 0.54 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 430 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10 1 / 2 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 7k, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 9, it follows that gold is 0.69 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 107 k per cent., and the par of exchange between England awl America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex change is 2.07 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York, being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be _deducted from the above difference. By the official r3turns published by the Customs the exports of the precious metals to foreign and colonial parts for the week ending Thursday last, was as under, viz : Ounces. silver coin to Calcutta Silver coin to Launceston Silver coin to Bombay 4,100 Silver bars to Bpinbay 20,609 Silver bars to Calcutta Gold coin to Calcutta A moderate amount of business was done to-day in the forci' e m exchanges. The rates upon Amsterdam and Paris re mained the same as last post, and on Hamburgh there was again an advance in the price. The St. Katharine Dock Company to- day declared a dividend of 21 , per cent. for the halt-year ending the sth instant, making a reasonable allowance for the payment of the Income-tax. It was stated that the business of the dock had, as compared with the former six months, participated to the extent of ten per cent, in the general increase of shipping entered into the port t , f London. 'the return setting fin th this showed that the in i'rease iii British shipping which has entered the port of London is 220, a ith 36,000 tonnage, there is a decrease of 84 for.rign ships. with 2,750 tonnage: thus making the net in crease 136 ships, with 33,250 tonnage. The dividend due this day on the American Life Insurance and Tn ust Company debentures has not been provided. These tvinds, which of cuurse have a preference over the shares, were introduced into London by various parties besides Mr. Jaudon anti Mr. Deer, the Vice-President of the Company ; but the London agents, Messrs. Prescott, Grote, and Co., have not re ceived a line by the last packet to aCCOUIIt for the neglect. It is more than probable, that such lt,:s been the profligate ex- ' penditure of the Company's capital on speculations in stock and worthless mortgages, that there are no returns to pay the bond holtie. a their interest. HERALD.—The market has been heavy all day, and prices rather on the decline. The fact is attributed generally to the intelligence said to be received by pigeon express from Paris, of the conclusion of a treaty between Belgium and France, by w Itch the former should bind herself not to admit British linens and linen yarn except on the same onerous conditions of duties as those imposed by the recent French ordonnance, elitist in return France consents to admit Belgian linens and yarns un the sante duties as heretofore. Belgium besides, as raid, is to reduce the duties on French wines and brandies. Lord Palmerston's policy, if these accounts be true, would seem still to persecute the country. GREAT MEETIN r_3' AT COVENTRY. • TUESDAY EvENING.—To-day one of the most nume rous meetings in this city was held in the County Hall, for the purpose of considering the alarming state of the country. The hour appointed for taking the chair was twelve o'cloCk. Long before that hour an immense Da:liber of working men assembled outside the build in;.;, and on the doors being; opened, a dreadful rush took place, and every part of the Hall was filled. Amongst those present, were the Rey. J. Watts, Bap tist Minister, Mr. Edger, Mr. Bromfield, Mr. Councillor Mr. Josiah Cash, Mr. J. Browett, Mr. Hennell, Mr: Ramsay, Mr.. Carter, Mr. Osborne, Mr. Brome, the Rev. Mr. Sibree, Mr. John Hands, Mr. Gibbin, Mr. Szephen KnaT, and others. 'En a few minutes after it was moved by Mr.BROWETT, and seconded by Mr. BROMFIELD, that Mr. C. White do ►ake the chair. The motion was carried with applause, after which the Gentleman took his seat and said, the Mayor, who had called that meeting, was unfortunately prevented from attending, having had urgent business with the Govern ment upon sonic W.:al affairs. He then read the follow ing requisition, to which was appended namesA of the most respectable men in the city, and which, to those who know Coventry, will be sufficient proof of the necessity of the case which called theta out : " To the Worshipful the Mayor of Coventry. " We, the undersigned, respectfully request that yon will convene a meeting of the inhabitants of Coventry, at an early day, to take into consideration the alarming. distress prevailing throughout the country, and to deter mine upon the best course to pursue in the present emer- guney. " Coventry, July 14, 1842." (Signatures.) " In compliance with the above respectable and nu merously signed requisition, I hereby convene a meeting of the inhabitants of this city and neighbourhood, to be holden at the County Hall, on Tuesday, the 19th inst., at twelve o'clock at noon, to take into consideration the subject above-mentioned. " W. HAWSES, Mayor. " Coventry. July 15, 1842." The CHAIRMAN then said no man in the land could now deny the existence of distress. The accounts from ad parts of the country showed that the distresswas daily increasing, that it was so in Coventry he and they all well knew. Last night Lord Wharncliffe said it was not the intention of her Majesty's Government to bring in any measures of relief. The people must, therefore, look to themselves ; and it' they would only back up the few good and great men in the House of Commons, they ought yet hope for relief. He most solemnly declared he stood appalled at the prospect of the winter. Mr. TAUNTON then came forward and read the follow ing resolution :—" That the appalling distress which prevails throughout the country is rapidly consigning the industrious classes to the most abject and degrading poverty ; and, by the destruction of the profits of trade, is absorbing the capital of the tradesman and manu facturer, and threatens to involve them in one com mon ruin. That the continuance of this state of things must speedily occasion the disorganisation of society, and plunge the country into all the horrors of convulsion and anarchy." Mr. Taunton, in a powerful address, propoSed the resolution. He said they had now arrived at a time of the most am ful im portance. It was high time, when fierce starvation stared them in the face—when the prattling infant had become a burden alai a curse—when every tie, sacred and divine, was broken by the melancholy desolating poverty that was now felt by all classes—when all this was seen and felt, it was time to arouse themselves. Unless a thorough complete union now took place between the middle and working classes, beyond all doubt, there would be a dis organisation of society ; and he would say if such un heard of, unparalleled distress was to confine, there ought to be a disorganisation.—(Cheers.) There were many persons who said machinery was the cause of dis tress ; and he most sincerely deplored the system of Ludditism, which would destroy machinery. Would they break up the railroads, and go back to the pack horse? Would they, in tine, dispense with all the splen did efforts of genius and perseverence ? No, they would se, they could not. It was utterly false to say that ma chinery was the cause of their misery, and he hoped that the working classes would not allow themselves to direct their vengeance against machiney, and in doing so please only their bitterest enemies. At this moment an immense crowd having arrived, and the building being crammed to suffocation, a cry of adjournment was raised, upon which the multitude - left the hall, and were addressed by the speakers from one of the side windows. Councillor BROMFIELD seconded the resolution. 'Not only were the weavers suffering, but the wutch makess were also in a most awful state of distress. That class of men had never been accustomed to want, but now they were suffering commom with others. The Itev. Mr. WATTS moved the second resolution, which Mr. J. BROWETT seconded. Mr. BucKNEY, a Chartist, moved the next resolution, and pointed out the inadequacy of Sir Robert Peel's beg gi g-box (the charity subscription) as a means of relief for the people. All they could get throughout England would be 100,000/., and would that procure food for one week ? No, it would not. The plan was only one of hypocrisy. He was of opinion that the Government ought immediately to open the ports and let in food. That was the first step to prevent the people from dying. lie had no idea of saying that would remove all their wants, but it would, as he had said, keep the people frion perishing • and the plan ought, nay must, forth with be adopted —(Cheers)—or the consequences would be appalling to contemplate. He did not think that any great benefit would result from the tariff ; indeed, he firmly believed that the price of butcher's meat would nut las reduced more than one halfpenny in the pound. The same would apply to sugar, and all other articles upon which it was proposed to benefit them. It was nothing more than a mere farce to say that the tariff would relieve them. They must have a real change in the whole system ; and, although that change might involve some trials and sacrifices, they must be met. Labour for the industrious classes would be impossible under the present system ; and unless the middle classes joined the working classes, ruin inevitably would come upon all. If this union did not take place seen, they might rely upon it the aristocracy would have 1,-, pass through a revolution. The people wanted bread —Ail car, ar hear)—and bread they would have.—(Loud k. cheers.) He most sincerely implored the middle class to come forward. No man on earth could guarantee the peace of England while the people were starving.— (Ch ee r s .) No soldiers, no yeomanry, no police, could save the property of the country from destruction, if millions were to be doomed . to daily starvation. Mr. CASH, of the Society of Friends, seconded the re solutien, which wus carried. '1 he resolution was put and carried, after which the following important resolutions were agreed to:— " That, as- the present House of Commons have con tumeliously rejected the prayers of the people for an ' abundant supply of food, and for the reform of the eke viral system, this meeting is of opinion that it is utterly hopeless to expect substantial relief from that body as at present constituted, and that, therefore, the fol lowin g Petition, founded upon the foregoing resolutions, be for warded to her moat gracious Majesty the Queen:— " That, believing this country to be on the eve of con -7ulsion, and being utterly without hope that the Legis lature will accord justice to thu starving millions, this mecting aces hereby call upon the Members of this city, iu conjunction with other Liberal Members, to offer • every possible opposition to the present system of class egmal ition itad to the taxation of a prostrate people, for the p irpose of a bread-taxing aristocracy, by argument ae I other constitutional impediments, that the wheels of (. 0 ernment may be arrested through the rejection or p,,vention of all votes of supply." The day was exceedingly unfavoura,ble the rain fell in torren ts; but so intent were th e p oor fellows who had assembled, that they stirred not during the whole time of the addresses. ED wa iths E ALATltlciDE.—the execution of this wretched culprit i 3 positively fixed to take place on Saturday morning, the tad inst. When the awful announcement was made to the prisoner he gaged vacantly and seemed unmoved. ~Monmouthshire Merlin. RIGHT OF SEARCH QUESTION. The following despatch has been addressed by the Minister of Marine to the Maritime Prefects : " By the terms of Art. 9 of the Convention agreed to May 22, 1833, between France and England, for the repression of the slave trade, the captains of mer chant vessels of both nations, who think they have cause for complaint from vexations or abuses of the right of search without seizure, are to make their de claration on oath before the competent authorities of the first port of their country which they touch at, or before the consular agent of their nation should they repair to a foreign port. This declaration, indicating the damages which they lay claim to, is to be verified by means of examinations on oath of the chief mem bers of the crew, or of passengers, who may have been witnesses of the search, and informations of the whole are to be drawn up, two copies of which are to be delivered to the captain, who is to forward one to his Government in support of his complaint. In case th captain shall be absolutely prevented from giving testimony, his declaration can be supplied by that of the owner, or any other person interested. These formalities have hitherto been neglected by such captains as have had complaints to make against the English cruisers,' and the maritime and colonial admi nistrations have not taken care either to remind them of the necessity of complying with them, nor have they conformed to them themselves, not requiring at the time when they send their report, or when they pass the statement of landing, the necessary declara tions and examinations, as they ought to have done each time that they were charged to transmit to any department reports in which such complaints as those alluded to have been mentioned. You will, therefore, be pleased to give orders that, for the future, Art. 9 of the Convention of May 22," 1833, may be punctu ally executed in the ports of your maritime arrondisse ments. It is proper also to remind the captains of vessels . that, without waiting for their arrival in a French or foreign port, they are always to profit by the first opportunity which offers, to get their com plaint carried to one of the vessels on the French station appointed to protect our commerce in the lati tudes where they may happen to be." SPIRIT of the P ÜBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. • GLOBE.—Sir Robert Inglis has thrown his Church Extension scheme overboard—" for this session." This we expected, and predicted, he would do. The thing was rendered plain, as the ,itinerant lecturers say, to the meanest capacity. The pretence for post poning it, " the pressure of public business," was too transparent to conceal the unwillingness which the Ox ford Baronet felt to place "his Right Hon. Friend at the . head of the Government" in a fix. The testy replies which he invariably gave to the Hon. Member for Lambeth, who from time to time reminded him of his pledge to bring that important question before the House, showed that there was anything but pleasant associations connected with the idea of the discussion. At ,length the goaded Baronet actually fixed the day: The 28th of July—on the very verge of the proroga tion, when a House can scarcely be made for the trans action of essential business, and the Church and its champion were in danger of being consigned to the care of an unmentionable personage by the im patient Members who are compelled to remain in town—this appropriate season was selected by Sir R—lnglis for procuring suitable attention to the claims of " the perishing population,"—actually dying for lack of the spiritual food which could only be supplied by an addition to the present number of churches, and an increase of the apostolic succession clergy, at the public expense. "The most fearful disease of the land," as the Postdesignates the alleged paucity of churches and clergymen, has been allowed to spread during twelve months that a Conservative Govenunent has shed its " happy auspices " over the scheme for securing an efficient supply of regular medicine for the malady. And now Sir Robert Inglis consents to let the Parliament separate without even mooting the subject on which he formerly em ployed the energies of his soul ! A vague, carefully balanced set of phrases, by which Sir. Robert Peel proves himself a proficient in the art of using language for the purpose of concealing his intentions, but in which there is not a single tangible expression to fix him to any specific course, are deemed sufficient in ducement to the Hon. Member for Oxford University, who has taken the claims of the Church under his special care, to abandon his intention, and to resign the question to the hands of Sir Robert Peel. STANDARD.—The arrangement on the subject of the Poor-laws is, probably, the best that, under the circumstances, the Government could propose. In the present state of the public business, and with the present meagre attendance of Members of the House of Commons, it would be indecent, and otherwise im politic, to resolve finally upon a measure soimportant ; even improvements made in such a case would lose much of their value. The great consideration, how ever, is, that the subject must be again opened, and that, if gentlemen discharge the duty to which so many have bound themselves upon the hustings, it wEI be opened in its whole extent, so as to render any arrangement made this session merely temporary and provisional, the five years' term nominally as signed to the Commissioners among the rest. Now, the subject has never yet been fairly opened in its whole extent, not even in 1834—for in the discussion of that year the question of rating was with exquisite cunning kept out of sight. Although the care of the poor was taken from the middle classes and the lower classes, to whom it had been previously and justly ' confided, because these classes bore the bur then of supporting the destitute, that burthen was still more firmly rivetted upon these classes exclu sively. The injustice of such a disposition is ap parent; for what can be more unjust than that the capitalist manufacturers—who are the great artificers of pauperism—should contribute nothing to ' the support of the paupers of their creation? Early infancy 'and extreme age are the periods of life at which aid is required; but the millowner re ceives the child, or adult, as it may be, ready for his use, without a farthing of expense on his part, and when " used up," according to the humane phrase, throws him back upon his native parish—to die in a union workhouse. This injustice has been attended with worse consequences to the poor than Oven to the rate-payers, because it has, in part at least, deprived the former of the sympathy of their natural friends. The humbler classes of rate-payers, who, if the bur then of supporting the poor were justly distributed, would have little to pay, or nothing, are taught to feel that they have an interest in the cruel parsimony of which the absolute destitute are the objects; and were it not so, such cruel parsimony would not be tolerated for a single year. We trust that this view of the subject will not be neglected by the country during the re cess, and that it will be pressed upon Parliament when the subject of the Poor-law shall come before it next session. Capital ought to be assessed to the poor-rate. Upon this there can in principle be no question, and the difficulty of detail which might have formerly opposed an obstacle to such rating, has been happily removed by the Income-tax ; the same machi nery which can reach capital f.ir purposes of general taxation can be made easily available to reach capital for a poor-rate. DISTRESS IN THE AGRICUL TURAL DISTRICTS. The following circular may be taken as good evi dence of the distress existing in agricultural districts, as well as in the manufacturingparts of the country : " County Fire Office, London, July 15, 1842. "FARMING STOCK. " Sir,—As the orders for Farming Stock Insurance are now coming in in large numbers, it is necessary that we should call your attention to the fact; that our accounts show us to have been great losers by this branch of our business for some years past. We have, unhappily, reason to expect that the losses will rather increase than diminish during the ensuing autumn, by the wilful destruction of Farming Stock, in consequence of the dissatisfaction among the labouring classes, and the fiendish suggestion which they have received from one of our leading dema gogues—to destroy the property of their employers —a hint which they readily adopt, ignorantly sup posing that their vindictive object will thereby be attained. _ " We must consequently admit, that we are by no means solicitous for Farming Stock business, particu larly where the parties do not insure other property with us. Upon this point, however, we place our selves entirely in the hands of our agents. We rely upon their using the utmost caution in taking Farm ing Stock orders from strangers; and we suggest the expediency of their declining to do so until they have inquired into, and are satisfied with, the character and circumstances of the proposer. " It is with the utmost reluctance that we withhold our protection from any parties who seek it, but the interests of the Office demand our circumspection; we therefore enumerate some of the leading points of objection which occur to us :—The holding appoint ments which render them obnoxious to the labouring classes ; the indulging in harsh and oppressive con duct towards their servants ; the being in reduced circumstances, which may lead to their making fraudu lent claims; general bad character. " These points, and others which your better judg ment will suggest, being duly attended to, we trust that our Farming Stock business may be less bur thensome to us than heretofore, and that we may not be compelled to decline it altogether. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " J. E. BEAUMONT. " The rule, that no insurance of Farming Stock within five miles of an incendiary fire be taken at less than ss. per cent. for the first year, must he strictly enforced. " The use of steam threshing machines is full of danger, and must not be allowed within twenty paces of the rickyard." It is now confidently stated that Parliament will be prorogued the second week in August. IRELAND. (From the Sligo Champion of Saturday.); ILLNESS OF JUDGE TORRENS. Judge Torrent has been in a very enfeebled state since his arrival here, with a severe attack of gout. On Wednesday he merely opened the commission, and on Thursday he did not enter Court until eleven o'clock ; and during the course of the day he remained in a recumbent position, evidently suffering under acute pain. On Friday his Lordship was unable to leave his room, and consequently the Crown business could not be proceeded with. A second edition of the same paper contains the following : " SATURDAY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.—His Lordship has not as yet entered Court, nor do we believe• he will sit to-day. Baron Lefroy has just adjourned the Record Court, for the purpose of trying the criminal business." There are rumours in town to-day that the claims of Arch deacon Packenham (brother-in-law of the Duke of Welling ton) are to be postponed to another opportunity, and that Archdeacon Torrens (brother of the Judge) is to obtain the vacant see of Meath. It is also reported that Judge Torrent at once retires, thus giving to the Government the patronage of another place on the bench. In a Ccthervative journal, published this morning ( Saun ders's News Letter) is the following extraordinary paragraph:— "Sligo, July 15.—(Extract of a private letter.)—lt is rnmoured here that Archdeacon Torrens will be the new Bishop, Judge Torrent retiring to make room for Sergeant Warren, so as to avoid the difficulties which Sir Edward Sugden might raise." It is :.ell known that Sir Edward Sugden's objections apply to Mr. Jackson, the Solicitor-General; but, if there were two vacant Judgeships, one of which was conferred on Sergeant Warren, Sir Edward's hostility might be appeased. EXTRAORDINARY TROTTING MATCH. Tuesday afternoon a number of the sporting world as sembled at the extensive enclosure attached to the Rosemary Branch Tavein, for the purpose of witnessing an extisordinary match—a grey pony, twelve hands and a half high, the pro perty of Mr. Burke, a gentleman well known on the turf, being backed for 50". to trot fourteen miles within an hour, with a monkey for its rider. The novelty of the affair at tracted, in addition to the betting men and cognoscenti in horseflesh, an immense assemblage of spectators, including se veral ladies resident in the neighbourhood in their equipages. The monkey of course was the " lion" of the day, and, accord ing to the conditions of the match, he was to be booted, spurred, and otherwise attired atter the fashion of the joekies at Epsom or Newmarket, and was to ride the pony m the usual style, with saddle and bridle. The monkey originally selected for the undertaking is the property of a foreigner; but in consequence of his making an attack on the owner, and wounding him with his teeth severely on the arm, it was deemed prudent by Sir. Burke to obtain a substitute, and with that view Mr. Batty, the celebrated equestrian manager, was applied to for a- loan of one of his trained monkeys, and that gentleman selected " Signor Jocko," who had already earned considerable reputation by his performances in the circle at the Surrey and other metropolitan and pro vincial theatres. At the appointed time the " Signor" made his appearance, attended by one of the rough riders belonging to Mr. Batty's establishment. He was dressed ala Chifney, or Scott, his jacket and buckskins being built by a first-rate west-end schneider, and his top-boots would have done honour even to the renowned Hoby. The colours he sported were red and white, and in his right paw he carried a handsome riding whip, and also wore a pair of small spurs buckled round his boots. .The pony he was mounted on is a very fast trotter, but notwithstanding his performances, time was in this instance backed at odds. After the arrangement of the usual preliminaries the start took place, Mr. Burke, and a gentleman, the friend of the party who had taken the bet, cantering on each side of the pony, with one or two others gallopping in the rear. He performed the dis tance in 56 minutes and 53 seconds of the given time, conse quently having 3 minutes and 7 seconds to spare, and was not at all distressed. The Signor rode in first-rate style, came in with his whip in his mouth, and appeared quite conscious of his own merits as an equestrian. It is said that this feat is unpa ralleled in the annals of the turf. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 21, 1642. NAVAL IN TErCiGENCE. —- - - PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY NIGHT.—The Satelite, 18, Com mander Gambier, got under weigh this afternoon, and pro ceeded down the Channel, with a favourable, but light wind. She is bound to the Pacific, and will form one of the squadron under the command of Ilear. Admiral Thomas. The Albatross, 16, Commander Reginald Yorke, was paid in advance this afternoon, and will sail at daylight in the morning for Quebec. The Marquis of Hastings (convict ship) sailed yesterday afternoon, for Van Diemen's Land, with upwards of :,00 con victs, among whom was the traitor Francis. The Cleopatra, 26, Captain Wyvill, is now the only ship at Spithead. She will leave in a day or two for China and the East Indies. The Governor of the Mauritius, Sir William Gomm, and his suite, are to take a passage in her. He is expected at Portsmouth on Thursday, and will embark imme diately, as his equipage is already on board. The George IV. transport is daily expected here,_ from the eastward. It is stated that she is to convey the St. Helena Re giment to their destination. The Resistance, troop-ship, Commander G. Patey, which left this port in day with troops for Canada, is expected here in a few days from Quebec with some of the troops which have been ordered home from that quarter. 'I he Crocodile (troop ship), which toolcout troops from Dublin to Canada, will also bring back a portion of those ordered to'England. It is stated that. the St. Vincent, 120, Captain Codrington, with the flag of the Commander-in-Chief, Aumiral Sir Edward Codrington, is to be fully equipped and to proceed to Spithead, whet e she is to take up her moorings instead of lying in the harle.ur. It is also stated that the flag-ship at Sheerness, the Camperdown, 104, Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Brace, is to take her station at the Nere, and that the flag - ship at Plymouth, the Caledonia, 120, Admiral Sir D. Milne, is to be moored in the Sound, instead of Ilamoaze. Rear-Admiral the Hon. D. P. Bouverie, the Admiral Super- ..--..- ..... intendent of this dockyard, will resign his office in a few days, as his time for holding it will then expire. It is not yet known who will succeed him. The Wellesley, 72, Captain T. Maitland, is hourly looked for from China, as she left Singapore on the 7th of March, on her passage home. A new iron steam frigate, called the Guadeloupe, has been built for the East India Company's navy, and will take her departure in a tew days. She is commanded by Commander Charlewood, R.N., who served as Gunnery Lieutenant on board the Benbow, 72, and was promoted to the rank of Com mander for his gallant conduct on the coast of Syria. The Guadaloupe is the largest iron steamer yet built. Her length from the figure-head to the taffrail is 201 feet, and her breadth of beam 30 feet 1 inch, and her tonnage, per admeasurement, nearly SOO tons. She only draws 9 feet of water, with pro visions and water for 120 men, and ten days' coal on board. She carries two large pivot guns, one forward and the other aft, 68-pounders, on sliding carriages of oak, the under frame working on circular rails of brass, secured to the deck. The weight of each gun, including the carriages, is from 51/ 2 to 6 tons. She is brigantine-rigged, and is a very handsome vessel. She will prove a very powerful coadjutor to the Ne mesis, Queen, Phlegethon, and t...esostris, now engaged in the Chinese warfare at Chusan, Chinhae, and Ningpo. The Guadaloupe is built in compartments, and a proof of the efficacy of this plan has been afforded by the Nemesis, which had a hole knocked in her bottom at the taking of A moy,; yet per formed important services for four mouths subsequently with out being laid up for repairs. The accommodations for the crew of the Guadaloupe are exceedingly roomy, and there is space for birthing troops if necessary. Ships at Spithead.—The Cleopartra. Ships in Harbour.—The St. Vincent, Victory, Excellent, Royal George yacht, the Sylvia, and Seaflower stutters, the Pique, Imaum, and Adventure naval transports, and the Echo steamer. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian' of yesterday.) MANCIIEiTER. — We are happy to be enabled to state that the improvement which manifested itself last week has continued down to the present time; and that a more healthy feeling prevails in the market than at any period for some time past. The large sales of produce made under the operation of the new tariff have liberated a considerable amount of capital which had been for some time locked up, thereby placing addi tional means at the disposal of the more active and enterprising merchants of the country; and, as a ge neral impression prevails that the prices of cotton ma nufactures are now at their lowest point, the inclina tion to make purchases for foreign markets has be come more general. Since Tuesday last, a very consi derable amount of business has been done in shirtings, domestics, and ether goods suitable for shipping, and also in yarn, especially in the numbers and qualities adapted to the Russian market. In printingcloth no im provement has yet been manifested ; but we under stand, that some considerable orders for prints have been received from the West Indies, Canada, and the United States ; so that it is to be hoped, that that description of cloth, which is now much depressed, will, ere long, participate in the general increase of demand. It is necessary to observe, however, that hitherto, even in the fabrics that are selling the most freely, little or no improvement of price has yet been realized. In some descriptions of shirtings, an advance of I:§d. to 3d. per piece was demanded yesterday by the principal manufacturers, but it was not generally, if at all, acceded to by the purchasers; and the amount of business done was to some extent limited by the demand. Indeed, it is not very probable that any substantial improvement in prices can take place f un til, by the result of a good harvest, or by a change of the Corn-law, the great bulk of the working classes of this country, whose entire earnings are now absorbed in the purchase of food, shall he enabled to procure those supplies of clothing of which they stand so much in need. In• order to show the operation of this cause upon the market, we may observe, that the exports of yarn from Hull during the first six months of the pre sent year show an enormous increase upon those of the same period in 1841. The quantities in each year are the following 1842. 1841. Hamburgh bales 14 1 46.5 .... 11,787 Amsterd — am 72 .... 94 Rotterdam St. Petersburgii 9,517 4,644 Gottenburgh v 307 . . 504 Other ports 2,567 .... 1,804 Total bales This statement, it will be seen, exhibits an increase of nearly 50 per cent. during the present year ; and, if the home trade of this country had continued in a healthy state, it would have been difficult, if not im possible, to supply the quantity that has been exported. Owing, however, to the very great diminution in the demand for manufactured goods, many of the spinners who previously supplied the home demand have been seeking their yarn for foreign markets, until those also have been to some extent glutted. ROCIIDALEFLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JULY 18. — There is a change in the flannel market to-day for the worse. The pieces sold have been Thw, and the buyers have offered lower prices, which, in numerous instances, have been refused. The wool market is much the same as that of the preceding Monday.

DUTCH AND urERMAN PAPERS. - - THE Kanus, JULY 16.—The melancholy intelligence of the death of his Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans, has made a profound impression in this place. It is the subject of every conversation. Our Court is greatly affected by this melancholy event. THE HAGUE, JULY Majesty King William Frede rick, Count of Nassau, gives audience every day. It is said that he will leave the Hague in the course of this week. General Nepven, his Majesty's Aide-de-Camp, sets out to-dav for Paris, to convey to his Majesty the King of the French, and the whole Royal 'Family, the expression of his Majesty's sincere condolence on the melancholy death of his Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans. MI the elections of Members of the Second Chamber of the States-General are now known. Of the 19 Deputies who went out by rotation, ten have been elected, of the nine others, in room of whom new Deputies have been chosen, five had re quested their constituents not to re-elect them. THE VIEW OF THE THAMES AND MEDWAY BY THE LORD MAYOR, AS CON- S ERVATOR. Mr. Smith, the chief clerl: in the Town Clerk's-office, and Mr. Johnston, the Lord Mayor's private secretary, have been during the last two days engaged in making preparations for the reception of the Lord Mayor's and the Lady Mayoress's guests at Rochester, where the grand dinner is to take place, and at Southend, at which the nobility and gentry of the neigh bourhood are to partake of a splendid dejeuner a la fourchate with the Right Hon. Baronet and his Lady. The Lords of the Admiralty have issued instructions to Cap tain Bullock, R.N., to render every assistance and accommo dation to the Conservator of the Thames and Medway on the surrey, and Captain Bullock has ordered his small steamer to follow that in which the view is to be taken, for the service of the ladies, The Aldermen who have already passed the Chair , and the Sheriffs, ' are amongst the invited persons to the survey con nected with the Corporation, as are the following officers of the Corporation :—The Recorder, the Chamberlain, the Town Clerk, the Common-Sergeant, the Comptroller, the Remem btancer, the City Solicitor, the Secondaries, the Under- Sheriffs, and the Clerk of the, Peace. Amongst the distinguished persons invited to the view, who are nut connected with the Corp oration, are the Lords of the Admiralty, the Secretary of the Admiralty, the Reptesenta. tives of the City, the Fort Major at the Tower. ude atof The invitation to the nobility andi nd gentry to din e umber with the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayo Tess , gre ,Members of both Houses of Parliament. The water bailiff's six-oared shallop, with his state waterman, a six-oared shallop, with the city waterman in their dresses, and the boat and men of Captain Fisher, the principal harbour master of the port of London, are to be in attendance through out the excursion. Each invited person has received, along with a programme, a map of the various points to be inspected on the Thames and Medway, and a card containing the arrangement of the tables for the dinner, on Friday, at the Crown Inn, Rochester, where dishes will be laid for between 160 and 200. Alderman Copeland was the last Lord Mayor in whose Mayoralty the septennial view was taken, and upon that occa sion the entertainments were most splendid, and there were several of the most distinguished persons partakers of his Lerd ship's hospitality. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—BRIGIITON, JULY 19. — This morning as a fly-driver, named Wood, was proceeding down- Bedford-street to the stand on the Marine-parade, with his horse and fly, the animal took fright, and ran at a furious rate down the street, and after crossing the IMarine-parade, he leaped the rails at the brink of tke cliff, and was suspended in mid air over a precipice at least 60 feet in depth. Unfortu nately the poor fly-driver was thrown headlong over the rails to the beach below, and was shockingly mu tilated. The aeci pent was observed by several persons., who lost no time in re moving the poor man to the Sussex County hospital. He was perfectly insensible, and died in snout three-quarters of an hour after his admission to the hospital. lie has left a widow and family to deplore his loss. Some difficulty was experienced in releasing the horse, but at length ropes were fastened round his body, and he was let down gently to the base of the cliff, witbout sustaining any injury. A few days ago, during a violent storm, the electric fluid fell on a wirdmill situated on the road be tween Saucoins and Grossouvre (Meurthe), and in a short time reduced it to ashes. This building was known by the name of Moulin Brule, probably because a 'similar f otyortett i n Olt; saase pl ac e miller perished in the flames, leaving behind him a widow and aix children. LAW INTELLIGENCE. 11VSOLVC.NT DEBTORS' COURT, July 20. IN RE SIR JOHN MILLEY DOYLE. This day having been fixed for the further hearing of this matter, which has been already reported at length in The Sun, it was announced that the insolvent had come to an arrange ment with his detaining creditor a few days ago, and was now out of custody. Although the debts and liabilities in the schedule amounted to an immense sum, 'the further proceedings under the present petition are thus at an end. A SSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORFOLK CIRC CllT.—liuntingdon, July 18. At these Assizes there was only one case on the civil side, and in this no question of general interest was involved. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON. ) THE QUEEN V. STANYON AND ASHBEIDGE. The prisoners were indicted, together with Metre Seotney, who Was absent on account of her accouchement, and one New ton, who had not been apprehended, for manslaughter, in caus ing the death of one Daniel Cox, by administering to him a quantity of Epsom salts in beer. sir. Prendergast conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Toz:r the defence. _ _ It appeared that the deceased, Daniel Cox, was a person greatly addicted to drink, especially when it could be procured without money; he was a man of about sixty years of age,- and debilitateu by his intemperate habits. Still he frequented public-houses, annoying the guests by his entreaties for drink, who, according to one of the witnesses, sometimes en deavoured to correct this propensity by giving the unfor tunate man portions of his beloved beverage into which various disagreeable ingredients had been Infused. On the 3d of Mac be went to the house of Mary Scotney, the Cross Keys, at tlawtrey, All saints, about six o'clock in the morning. He was then quite sober. He drank several pints of beer, in some of which it is probable salts were in- fused, as, according to the evidence 01 a very unwilling wit acts, Mary Scotney's servant, one or two ounces of salts had been in the cupboard shortly before: the nay in question, which were missing on the day, and the absence of which was not otherwise accounted for. The prisoners Stanyon and Ash bridge came into the house in: the course of the morning, and Stanyon left the house about II o'clock, and returned with two ounces of salts ..,hich he had purchased at a neighbouring drug gist's. He, in Mary Scotney's presence, mixed each of these in half a pint of Leer, and gave the infusion to the deceased, who, after some demur at the nauseousness of the taste, drank it up. He was soon afterwards taken very ill, and on the evening of the next day d.ed. The medical evidence.ptoved that, al though the body of the deceased, upon inspection, appeared greatly debilitated by age anti the irregular habits of his life, the immediate cause of death was diarrhoea caused by the salts. Under the direction of the Learned JundE the Jury ac quitted Ashbridge, anti found Stanyon Guilty, who, in conse quence, of the very high character he had borne, was sentenced to be imprisoned for a fortnight only. With this case concluded the assizes at. Huntingdon, and the Learned Judges proceeded to Cambridge, where, in the evening, the Commission was' opened. Here (at Cambridge) there are about lb prisoners for trial, and the civil business is likely to be heavy. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—Durham, July. IS. Thomas M'Cann and John Swinburn were indicted, the former fora robbery in taking away sixteen gold watches from the window of Messrs. Reid and Co., watchmakers, in this town, and the latter for receiving the said waterier, knowing them to have been stolen. . Mr: Ingham and t_itr Gregory Lewin were for the prosecu tion ; Mr. Granger for the defence. Mr. INGHAM proceeded to detail to the Jury the particulars of the evidence as detailed by the wituesses. The principal witness would, he said, be an accomi lice of the name of Reeves, who had been admitted Queen's evidence. On his testimony, therefore, they would not place implicit felianee unless it was so far corroborated by that of others as to give them reason to suppose he was the witness of truth. He thought, howeyer, that the evidence he would lay before them presented abundant proofs of corroboration. 'I here was a great deal mere in his brief with which he would not trouble them, inasmuch as it did not tend to corroborate the accomplice in matters tending directly to show the guilt of the other prisoner, but rather ;n points bearing on, what was not disputed—viz., his own par ticipation in the crime. The prisoner is, it would appear, a watchmaker, and . has fur a great number of years been in a respectable way of business in the market-place in the city of Durham. It appeared that on the evening of the 4th of Fe bruary last, about half-past five o'clock, an aperture was made in a pane of the window of Mr. Reid's shop, and the contents of a small tray, containing sixteen French gold watches, ab stracted. They were worth about 1501. Three men had been seen about the window immediately before, and two witnesses deposed as to Reeves having been one of the party; One wit ness also identified M'Cann. Samuel Reeves, the accomplice, was then called, and he stated at length the facts contained in the opening speech of the Counsel for the prosecution. Evidence was given to show that three men, of whom M'Cann was one, were seen together in earnest conversation in Gateshead about the time and place mentioned by the wit ness. It appeared also that Swinburne had Leen in Reeves' company at a public house that morning, as Reeves himself had stated; and Mr. John Hutchinson, the town-clerk, deposed that he called in at the shop of the prisoner about the time mentioned in Reeves' evidence. He stated, however, that Swinburne was at the time at work with his sons at the bench at the window. There might have been another man in the shop, but there certainly was not a woman. Mr. GRANGER addressed the Jury for the defence in a long speech, in which he minutely analysed the evidence. The Jury retired for about half an hour, when they re turned a verdict, finding M'Cann Guilty, and acquitting Swinburne. Sentence wa. deferred. POLIt,E INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. John Dale, the mendicant with a wooden leg, who used to sweep a crossing at Cornhill, was brought before Sir Chapman Marshall, charged with the misdemeanor of attempting to commit suicide, by jumping from Blackfriars-bridge into the Thames. iFlagnier, the City police constable on duty on the bridge, stated that the prisoner jumped from the centre arch, at four o'clock in the afternoon, and he was carried down by the tide as far as Paul's-wharf, where he was picked up. The leap was 70 to t3O feet. _ _ The marshalman said he knew the prisoner, and had heard a good deal about him. His distress was owing to his miscon duct. He obtained a good living by sweeping the crossing, but he ran away to Ireland, threw his family on the parish, and lost his sweeping ground. His son, who supplied his place, had received as much as five shillings in a day. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL asked the prisoner how he lost his leg?—The prisoner replied he lost it at Quebec five years ago. Sir CH,APMAN MARSHALL said, if he had any knowledge of the Lord Mayor he need not have resorted to suicide on ac count of his distress. He hadsome suspicion that the liberality of the public to persons who had made similar attempts might have prompted this ; and if he were satisfied of that. he should follow the example of Sir Peter Laurie in committing him for trial for the offence. As, however, he might have been im pelled by distress of mind alone, he should not adopt that course. The family would receive proper attention if they ap plied for admission to the poor-house of the union in which - they resided. He discharged the prisoner with an admonition, and directed the officer to take him to St. Giles's Union. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mary Ann Anderson, a young married female, was charged with attempting to murder an al,,en female named Mrs. Ryan, and a young woman, named Sarah M'Carty, by beating them over the head with a brick-bat. It appeared that the com plaining parties had circulated a report amongst the inhabitants of lludley-court, High-street, St Giles's, where the prisoner lives, that she had " served" a month at the mill at Brixton, for uttering counts feit money, and ti.at the pri soner in return waylaid them as they were walking tegether in Monmouth-street, - St. Gi:es's, and, having armed herself with a heavy brickbat, she commenced a furious attack upon them and with that formidable weapon inflicted on the head of Ryan six severe blows, each of which cut through the scalp completely to the skull. 111‘Carthy was also desperately ill-treated. The clothes of both of them were soaked through with blood. The police coming up prevented the prisoner from inflicting further violence ; but it was not until after a most desperate and protracted struggle that she was overpowered, and conveyed to the station-house. The prisoner contented herself with merely denying the charge, and was fined 305., or six weeks' imprisonment, for each assault. _ _ _ Vw Richard Handley, alias Underwood, Edward Gifford, alias Cook, and Sarah Ann Hunt, alias Gifford, alias Cook, who have been twice remanded on suspicion of being concerned in various burglaries, extensive robberies, and other offences, were yesterday again brought up for further examination. The office was crowded to excess by parties who had charges to prefer against them. Mr. Wontner,• the solicitor, attended to • conduct the prosecution. Mr. Charles Clear, of No. 48, Blackman-street, Borough, laceman, identified seventeen silk handkerchiefs, and other ar ticles, as part of the property stolen from him on the 1 9th of April last, when his shop was broken open, and plundered of goods to the amount of upw,.rds of 2001. Frederick Herbert Evans, in the employ of Mr. Samuel Lambert, of No. 27, Aldermanbury, laceman, identified 120 pieces of lace, as being part of the contents of a box of lace, of the value of about 2001., which was stolen from the yard of the Swan with Two Necks Inn, Lad•lane, on the 28th February last, the porter, who was sent with it, having only left it hut a minute or two while he placed two smaller parcels in an omnibus. _ ..... Mr. William Dawson, of No. 4, Scabberton-row, Walworth, glover, &c., identified several ribbons and pairs of gloves, as part of the produce of a burglary, committed at his shop, on the 2d of April last, when property to the amount of between 2001. and 3001. was stolen. _ . Mr. Henry Marshall, of No. 12, Red Lion-passage. Red Lion-square, tailor, identified, from amongst the property pro duced, quantities of serge and plush, of the value of 141., which was "sneaked" from his shop on the Bth March last. In these cases the witnesses were all bound over to prosecute. Handley stands fullycommitted on two charges as the principal, and in one case as the receiver. .41,6 ••• Mr. Fitzpatrick, the chief clerk, said that several other cases would be brought against Handley, in which he would be iden tified as the party who committed the robbery. Mr. MALTBY said, under those circumstances, he should again remand the prisoners until next Wednesday. UNION-HALL. James Moor was brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged with committing a violent assault upon Jane his wife. It appeared that on the preceding afternoon the defendant and his wife having had high words, to escape from his ven geance she ran to Pickle Herring-stairs, and preferred he alter native of throwing herself into the Thames. The defendant, on perceiving his wife approach the river, ran after her, and when she was extricated from her perilous situation, and brought ashore, the husband, instead of exhibiting any compunctious feeling for his conduct on the occasion, rushed towards her, and striking her a severe blow on the face, accompanied it with the heartless expression, " that she had better go back and drown herself." Some of the bystanders who witnessed the outrage gave the fellow into custody. Mr. COTTINGRAM said that it was a ease of two serious a nature for him to decide summarily—a 5/. conviction was so inadequate a punishment for such an offence. He therefore committed the prisoner for trial. CLERKENWELL. Mr. Thomas St. George Lyster, a gentleman, residing at 39, Adelaide-place, St. Pancras, appeared on a warrant to answer a el.arge of assault preferred against him by William Attwood, conductor:of the Paddington omnibus, 4,663, badge 865. The parties were before Mr. Greenwood on Saturday, when Mr. Lyster charged the conductor with having used abusive language, upon which the latter was convicted and fined 15s. The present charge arose out of the same transaction. Complainant said that on Wednesday last he took up Mr. Lyster at Argyle-street, King's-cross, and on arriving at the Blue-coat Boy, Islington, where they stopped, he (complain.. ant) opened the door to let out two passengers. When these had alighted he closed the door, but in less than a minute after, the defendant opened the door and jumped out of the omnibus in a violent passion, stating his determination not to go any further with witress. The defendant then proceeded towards another omnibus, but witness followed him and demanded his fare, the only answer to which was a violent blow in the face, accompanied by the vsse of sever ,1 opprobrims epithets. Mr. Lyster, to thz: charge, said tHt the conw.lct of the driver and conductor of the omnibus from the time he took his seat in it until they arrived at the Blue-coat Boy wai so scandalous that he felt himself bound to remonstrate with the complainant very shaip y, in which remonstrance he was joined by the other passengers. The driver had been racing nearly the whole of the way with, another omnibus. A lady hail nearly been seriously hurt by the sudden jerking of the vehicle before she could take her seat, whilst other ladies were so much terrified and alarmed by the furious speed at which they were being driven, that they left the vehicle on the first opportunity. He (Mr. Lyster) determined also to leave the omnibus at the first stopping-place, and accordingly he got out at the Blue-coat Boy ; but he positively denied having struck the conductor. That person having impudently laid hold of his (defendant's) collar, he merely raised his hand to disengage himself' from the grasp of the fellow. Mr. Matthews, a builder, who happened to be passing at the time, and said he saw the whole of the occurrence, positively ' declared that the complainant seized Mr. Lyster by the coat collar, and as positively denied that that gentleman struck the complainant. Mr. Coal isz said the evidence was certainly most perplexingly contradictory. The witnesses on each side were equally posi tive, and moreover were equally disinterested parties. lie had no doubt that the conduct of the omnibus people had been out rageously bad, and he (Mr. Combe t himself was almost daily a witness.of the abominable and dangerous nuisance of omnibus racing, particularly along the New-road. Under the circum stances he should merely fine Mr. Lysteris.and costs. A : - GREENWICH -POLICE. Tuesday Dennis Clement was placed at. the bar before Mr. Jeremy on the charge of causing the death of Bridget Holloway, a woman with whom he lived at a house in Smith's rents, Greenwich. It appeared b) the evidence of Sophia Vincent, who lived in an adjoining tenement, •that she heard cries of " murder !" about six o'clock on the evening of Sunday, the 10th of July ; that she had subsequently seen the deceased, who complained that the prisoner Clement had given her a great beating, and she was sure that he had given her "her death-blow." . Thomas Oak Mitchell and Mr. Burridge, surgeons, gave similar testimony to that which appeared on the first inquiry at the Coroner's inquest—viz., that the fourth, fifth, and sixth ribs had been fractured, and that. the pointed and jagged ends of the fifth and sixth ribs had lacerated the left lung. which had caused inflammation, which was the proximate cause of the deceased's death, and which they had not the slightest doubt had been done by violence. Mr. JEREMY having cautioned the prisoner, Clement said that he did not know anything of the injuries the deceased had received ; that she had lived with kim as his wife, and that he had always treated her well ; but she was in the habit of getting drunk and falling about. However it appeared that the prisoner wished to get a cer tificate from the Registrar of Deaths, and also from Dr. Mitchell, which was prevented by the reports in circulation, and Mr. JEREMY fully comr..itted Clement for trial at the Central Criminal Court, notwithstandino• the summons Mr. Carttar issued for the appearance of the prisoner on the adjourned inquest. A WORTHLESS LOVER. Two industrious . young women, Mdlle. Bourvaud, a dress-maker, and Mdlle. Eliza, a lace-maker of the Petrelle, Faubourg Poissonniere, lived together on terms of the closest intimacy. The dress maker had for her 'favoured lover Verge, the trombone of the band of the 68th regiment, who, in time, in order to form a parti carre, introduced his friend Favre, who played the long drum in the same band. It being known that Mdlle. Eliza, the lace mender, who by the way was no longer in the flower of her youth, was in possession of 700 f. a year in the funds, besides the produce of her business, the long drum soon became deeply enamoured—whether of her person or her money will be apparent by the se quel. The warmest protestations of love were made on his part, and at length responded to favourably on hers. Promises of marriage were interchanged; but, alas ! in this case false as well as true love met with an obstacle. Favre, being a soldier, could not take unto himself a wife without the consent of his colonel, but so strong was his passion that not hav ing a sous of • his own to pay for a substitute, and thus obtain his discharge, he declared his resolution to desert, if the fair Eliza would but unite her fate with his, and quit France. This proof of devotion was too strong for the lave-sick maiden to resist, and to evince her estimation of it, offered to ad vance the sum necessary for procuring the discharge. This being agreed upon, Favre •and Verge appeared at the lace-mender's lodgings the next day with Bar riere, a man who they said was willing to re-place Favre for the moderate compensation of 800 f., which Eliza at once consented to give, and even advanced a small sum, as earnest to bind the bargain. On the following day Verge obtained from her 100 f., under the pretence of buying the necessary clothing for the substitute, and at a later hour 30 francs more to clear an account Favre had at a public-house, and which he said must be drone to enable him to leave the service with honour. On the day after, Fevre, Verge, and the supposed substitute, again came to the expectant bride, and obtained from her the 800 francs, leaving her elated with hopes that in a few hours she would embrace her lover as a free man. During three long days she waited in anxious expectation of enjoying happiness, but, nobody coming to marry her, she went to the barracks, and there learnt that neither Favre nor Barriere, who, it turned out, was already a musician in the regiment, and had lent himself to what, it had become evident, was a fraud, had been seen since the time they were last with her. Verge was found, but he pro tested his innocence. Drowned in bitter tears for the loss of both husband and money, she went to the colonel and related her sad tale. After seven days more had. passed, Fevre and Barriere staggered back into bar racks just in time to save themselves from the severe penalties of desertion. They were put under arrest, and with Verge, were on Friday brought before a court martial to answer for their misdeeds. Favre ad mitted all his faults, but expressed his hope that his dear Eliza would forgive him, and make him her husband. Upon this, she with perfect simplicity said she would consider of it. Favre was found guilty, and sentenced to a year's imprisonment for swindling. Upon this, he exclaimed, " Well, then ! there's an end to my marrying ! " No proof having been given that either Verge or Barriere had received any of the money, they were both acquitted. It transpired, in the course of the trial, that immediately after the money was obtained Fevre invited five or six of his comrades to a restaurant, where they dined, en seigneur, at 20f. a-head. EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDING Monday night last between 40 and 50 able-bodied paupers, in a filthy and ragged condition, from various parts of the country, besieged Islington Workhouse and demanded relief and admission, saying that they were exhausted through starvation; they had sought after work without success, and they could proceed no further., Crowds of persons assembled around them and were loud in their exclamations against the parish officers fur not admitting them immediately, and it was much feared that the result would be violence and outrage. A com munication, however, having been made to Mr. Ashley, time relieving overseer, he came and furnished them with an order for food and beds for the night, and they were admitted as casual poor. They, were, as is customary, ordered into the bath to cleanse themselves, which some of them quietly submitted to, whilst others resisted and behaved themselves in a most refractory manner, and it was evidently their intention to intimidate the parish officers and to commit Ohtrage, if not plunder, and it was with considerable difficulty that they -were made to go to their beds. One stout ruffianly-looking fellow, named Baines, who described himself as a labourer out of work from Brentwood, kept the house in a continual uproar during the whole of the night by his bawling, swearing, and abusing the officers. Tuesday morning when the proper officer repaired to their wards to give them notice to quit the house, he found several of them sitting on their beds in a complete state of nudity, they having torn their old and tattered garments to pieces for the purpose of being kept in the workhouse or being provi:led with fresh clothes. It was found necessary to call in a body of the police, with whose assistance the unruly gang were ejected, with the excep tion of the ringleaders and those who had torn their apparel, and they being supplied with a workhouse suit, were taken into custody and charged at the station house. Tuesday morning they were taken to Clerken well Police Court and charged before Mr. Combe, when the parish officers attended and gave evidence against them. The prisoners in their defence said, that they had come from various parts of the country in search of work, and they met accidentally and formed themselves into a body, for the purpose of demanding and insisting upon being relieved by the parishes through which they passed. The. party charged with destroying their clothes did not deny the fact, saying that they were in so filthy and ragged a state that no one would employ them, and they devised that plan to get fresh clothes. the ,and committed the prisoners to the House of Correction, with hard labour for 21 days each, which sentence they re ceived with perfect indifference.
