SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. I presence and encouragement, he would be gu ilty un der the second count, which charged him with resist ing his lawful capture. The Jury having deliberated nearly an hour, found the prisoner G u ilt y , but strongly recommended him to mercy on account of his previous good character. Mr. Baron ROLFE said that he concurred with the Jury in their verdict, and in the recommendation with which they accompanied it. But be should not do his duty if he did not sentence the prisoner to a pu nishment of some severity. The sentence was, that he should be confined for three calendar months, and kept to hard labour. Edward Leader, No. 33, Devonshire-street, Lisson grove, painter, was indicted for feloniously and car nally knowing Laurina Leader (his own child), she being under the age of ten years. The details of this revolting case are wholly unfit for publication. The prosecution was instituted by the parochial authorities of St. Marylebone, and was conducted by Mr. Clarkson. The prisoner was very ably defended by Mr. Char nock, who contended that the evidence of the child must be received with suspicion,, as she was under the influence of her mother and other relatives, with whom the prisoner had disputes respecting his wife's property ; and further, that the evidence of the child as to the completion of the offence, was not conclusive. The Jury, after a short deliberation, found the pri soner guilty of an aggravated assault, with an intent to commit a rape. Mr. Baron ROLFE sentenced the prisoner to two years' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction, and told him that he would be tried next session for rape, fully perpetrated on a subsequent occasion upon the person of the same child. The prisoner, who had fainted several times during the trial, was unable to stand without support whilst the sentence was being passed, and was taken f rom the bar in a state bordering on insensibility. (Before the RECORDER.) Elizabeth Newark, indicted for the manslaughter of William Oates, was acquitted. The particulars of the case have appeared in the papers. Catherine Sullivan, 19 ; Harriet Bond, 17 ; and SophidGiles, 17, were convicted, upon clear evidence, of stealing some articles of wearing apparel, the pro perty of a person named Brown, and there appeared good reason to believe that the girl Giles had been in duced to commit the offence, or at all events to assist in it by the other prisoners, both of whom had been before convicted of felony. The prisoners, it appeared, were all of that class termed "unfortunate." The RECORDER, in passing sentence upon Sullivan and Bird, said that the Court would give them another chance, but they must undergo a lengthened period of imprisonment. The sentence was that they be kept to hard labour for eighteen calendar months. When the sentence was pronounced, the prisoners burst into tears, and begged most earnestly that they might be transported. They said they had neither father, mother, nor any other relatives who cared about them, or who could do anything for them, and there fore when they came out of gaol, they must resort to their evil courses again, and they therefore prayed that the Court would send them out of the country. The RECORDER said it was very seldom the Court paid any attention to the wishes of prisoners with re spect to the mode or period of punishment, but in the present instance, as it entertained considerable doubt whether it was, under the circumstances, justified in pronouncing such a, lenient sentence, and believing it would be much better for the prisoners themselves to be removed from this country, it would rescind the sentence just passed, and would now direct that they should be severally transported for the term of ten years. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The Queen has set out to-day on a visit to Scotland, and there can be no doubt that the Sovereign and her consort will be welcomed with all the warmth of loyalty. The Scotch Papers have, however, been of late somewhat in judicious in expressing their hopes and opinions as . to-the way in which her Majesty will pass the short time she is able to devote to her visit; and some of the Edinburgh Journals have gone coo for as to suggest to the Sovereign the place 'of worship and the form of divine service which it would be most desirable for her Majesty to sanction with her presence. It is highly unbe-_ coming in,a journalist to make the first visit of the Sovereign to her northern subjects an occa sion for pointingout a course which it may be dis agreeable to herself to adopt, while, in refraining from it, the Queen may be accused of having ne glected the wishes of,a portion of her people. It is a very severe penalty 0:4 the tenure of the highest office in the State, to be denied the com mon liberty of personal action which the hum blest individual can alivays enjoy in matters un connected with his employment; for when the task of the meanest artisan is finished, he is ge uerally free to act as be likes, and to go where he pleases. Her Majesty has had her full share of the cares of Government during the Parlia .xtlentary session; and it is rather hard to refuse to, her that recreation which cannot be en joyed if any attempt is made to force upon . her attention certain subjects which have caused much agitation in Scotland. We are induced to make these observations by a - report which prevails that the General As sembly will devise measures to make her Majesty acquainted with the state of ecclesiastical mat ters in the country to which she goes as a visitor. We cannot believe that the body allUded to will haVe the bad taste to introduce into a congratu latory address to the Queen any reference to the present position of the Presbyterian Establish anent--a course which could only be embarrass ing to the Sovereign, who could not, with pro priety. or with pleasure, pronounce any opinion on the points involved in the difference between the Scotch Church and the legal tribunals of the country. It is truly gratifying to remark that the miserable attempts of the vagabonds Francis and Bean, to obtain notoriety by their con temptible pranks, have not deprived the Queen and the people of the pleasure both must derive from meeting together on such occasions as that which has rendered to-day a holiday for thou sands of the inhabitants of this metropolis. STANDARD —The leading journals, Whio and Tory, of Manchester, the Courier, Chronicle, and Guardian, expressed the fullest conviction that the gentleman (Mr. Gregory, of the firm of Adlington, Gregory, and Follett) who has been commissioned by the Government to inquire into the origin of the present state of affairs in that town and neighbourhood, will have no difficulty in referring it to a distinct conspiracy on the part of the Anti-Corn-law League to lower the wages of their workmen, with the express view of provoking a general turn-out ; and this with out regard to the actual state of trade, which had been improving for some time past, or their real means of remunerating- labour. No reason able man who has been an attentive reader of the accounts contained in the public newspapers for the last four or five weeks of the conduct of these gentry can entertain the slightest doubt of the fact. Perhaps the news- paper organs of the faction are entitled to whatever credit may attach to their pioneers in this praiseworthy performance; but, however this may be, the merit of hav ing acted on their suggestion must be allowed to belong to the Anti-Corn-law millowners of the district in which the disturbances first broke out. The journals of the League have de ;voted themselves for many months past to the production of precisely the state of things which they now find it convenient to deplore. fc land.—for we will believe an approver in prefer ence to an accomplice, if the testimony of the former be properly corroborated—declared in the early part of last month, " that the object of the meeting of the League iii London was to consider the propriety of stopping all their mills on the same day, and that they had determined So to do." This declaration was published in one of the Chartist organs a month before the strike, and was only attempted to be contradicted a few days ago. Ac land; is one of the paid itinerant agents of the League, and is, therefore, very good authority for the - intentions of his employers. Even in the Conference itself, one of the representatives of the body, a Mr. Finch, suggested to the meeting that they (his constituents) had the power, with . the of the colliers, of compelling the aris •tocracy, in less than a month, to abolish thc Corn laws and concede the Charter. A . strike of the colliers was the mode proposed to effeCting this object; but although toe wary to suggest in that place a turn-out of the workmen in the manufacturing districts, there can be no doubt that the hint was designed for their adop tion as well. Even so late as the second of the present month one of the borough Aldermen of Manchester did not scruple to suggest that "the only plan which the manufacturers had to resort to at present was to stop their factories." A Lon don organ of the League, indeed, assumes to itself the credit of having been the first to sug gest the project of "shutting up all the mills in a single day,"'' which was," it is further added, " considered again and again,"—with what result we all of us know. Some of the Journals in the confidence of the conspirators suggested the employment of Swing; but as the former opera tion was judged to be the likeliest means of arriving at a prompt result, it appears to have been selected in preference. Now the Aclands, Cobdens, and gentlemen of that ilk, complain that no dependence is to be placed on the autho rity of those Chartist newspapers or emissaries who have brought this charge against them; but before such evidence is corroborated it may be , well to inquire into the extent to which it has been rejected. CENTRAL CR IMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. THE CHARTIST MEETINGS.— William TaylOr, a plasterer, aged 39, was placed at the bar; charged with feloniously cutting and wounding Robert Col lins, a constable of police, with intent to do him some grievous bodily. harm. In . another count he was charged with obstructing the constable in the execu tion .• of h i s tufty. No counsel appeared for the prosecution, but Mr. Payne defended the prisoner. The charge arose out of the occurrences that took place at the Chartist meeting on Kennington -common last'Monday. Robert Collins, police-constable No.loB V, deposed that after the police had dispersed the , meeting on the Common, the prisoner and several other persons assailed the police with stones, one -of which was thrOWn by the prisoner, and struck witness upon the head. The prisoner then rushed in upon witness and wrenched his staff from him, with which he struck him violently about the head. Other policemen came to his assistance, and a scuffle ensued, in which, by the pressure of the mob, witness and several of his fellows were pushed down, but they retained their hold of the prisoner, and ultimately succeeded in con veying him to the station-house in Tower-street. Henry Knutford, police constable 87 L, corrobo rated Collins's evidence. In his cross-examination (by Mr. Payne) the witness denied that he had been drinking that morning. The Superintendent had takn precautions that no constable should have more then one pint of porter, and that only at dinner time. John Brown, a Chelsea pensioner, was passing over the Common at the time of the scuffle, and saw the prisoner throw stones at the policemen, and "go into close fight" With some of them. The crowd pressed on the police to rescue the prisoner, but witness shoo his w aiking-stick at them, and they fell back. —(A laugh.) He flourished his stick as he would a fencing-stick, and that kept the mob back.—(A laugh.) He (witness) was employed that day in delivering papers for the Income-tax, and he went to the common, on his way home, to see what the "gen tlemen would do who wanted to divide all the pro perty in the country, and make us all equal." Alr. PAYNE addressed the Jury foi' the prisoner, who, he said, was on the evening in 'qUestion return ing from his work, ignorant even that a meeting was to take place on the Common, when he found himself in the midst of the police, and was seized and very roughly handled. This provoked him, and a struggle ensued, in which he wrested from one of the police a truncheon that was lifted up to fell him, before he knew what he was attacked for. Several respectable witnesses, gave the prisoner an excellent character. Mr. Holden, builder, cf Vere-street, Clare. market, said that the prisoner had been in his employment four years as foreman, having from eight to eleven men under him. He Nilas married and had five children. There could not be a more peaceable dis creet man in the world, nor could there be a better man to his wife and children. Mr. Baron ROLFE in summing up, said that there seemed nothing whatever to sustain the first.count of the indictment, as there could be no pretence for saying that the prisoner assaulted the prosecutor with ail intention to do him grievous bodily harm. The wit nesses, for the prosecution, had positively deposed that the prisoner was one of those who threw stones ; but even if he were not, but was one of the crowd from which the stones were thrown and only gm that crowd countenance by his, - The prisoner Giles was then called up for judg ment, and the RECORDER having observed that it ap peared she had not been before convicted, the Court would give her a chance of retrieving her character by passing upon her a sentence of imprisonment only. The prisoner upon hearing this, exclaimed, "Oh pray, my Lord, do transport me ;it is quite impos sible that I can reform. I have neither father, nor mother, nor friends. lam sure I shall never do any good here, and I shall only be worse when I come out of prison." The RECORDER said that in passing what might appear to be a severe sentence, it must be understood to be done at the prisoner's own request. At the same time he thought such a course would be for her benefit. The prisoner was then ordered to be trans ported for ten years. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) ESIDEZZLEMENT.—James Brimage, aged 39, was indicted with embezzling and stealing 121., and other sums, the propriety of Joseph Price, his master. From the evidence on the part of the prosecution, it appeared that Messrs. Price and Co. carried on the business of carpet and furniture manufacturers in Compton-street, and King-street, Snow-hill. The pri soner at the bar had the conducting of that branch of th% business which was carried on in Compton-street ; for doing so he had a salary of 30s. a week, and it was his business also to collect and pay monies, and hand the balance over to his master. In the discharge of his duty he had received the, vorioue aumß char s va in the indictment, which he had not accounted for. Mr. Bodkin prosecuted the prisoner; and Mr. Crouch appeared in his defence. The Jury, without the slightest hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty. There were two other indictments charging the prisoner with embezzling money to the amount of upwards of 501., which the Court thought it un necessary to proceed with. Mr. BODKIN observed, that altogether the prisoner was charged with embezzling upwards of 801. Mr. CROUCH had been instructed to state that the prosecution had been instituted from vindictive motives. Mr. BODKIN felt sure that the prisoner had fallen into some of the bad hands who were always hanging about the Court to entrap prisoners, and often gave them advice whi c h i n j ure d i ns t ea d of improving their case. Mr. hirraPs—lt was to be lamented that many of such persons were not hanging outside the Court. The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced the prisoner to seven years' transportation. Wm. Gillett was indicted for stealing two loaves of bread, value 6d., the property of Wm. Reynolds. The prisoner pleaded Guilty, and on being asked by the Learned Common Sergeant why he had com mitted the theft, he stated that he did it through hunger, having had no food for two days. The LEARNED JUDGE sentenced him to ten days' imprisonment, to be computed from the first day of the session. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Samuel Cambridge, an old sailor, was placed at the bar before the LORD Mkiroa, charged with attempt ing to smuggle four pounds and a half of tobacco and two bottles of brandy from the steam-vessel Belfast. John Dillon, a tide-waiter, stated that he saw the prisoner coming across a tier of vessels ; he stopped him, and on his being searched four pounds a half of negro-head tobacco and two bottles of French brandy were found concealed about different parts of his person. The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and he was fined 405., which he immediately paid, and left the Court. A man, named Edward White, who had the ap pearance of a seaman, was brought before th e L or d Mayor, charged with having committed a highway robbery in Bishopsgate-street. Mr. George Rutt, of Fenchurch-street, an elderly gentleman, who had evidently received severe blows in the face, stated that, on Saturday evening, as he was passing at the corner of Bishopsgate-street; a person, whom he believed to be the prisoner, seized him behind, and dragged his watch and seals from his person, and another man struck him a violent blow on the nose and knocked him down. Upon being taken up witness called to the persons who raised him to secure the thieves, and the prisoner was accord ingly seized, but the other ruffian escaped. Timothy Morris, a labouring man, stated that as he was. walking along the street he saw the prosecutor fall with violenc e , and ran t o his assistance and lifted him up. The prosecutor immediately called to him to follow the prisoner who was running away, and he succeeded in grasping the fellow who had the watch upon his person. John Croley, a City policeman, said he saw, as he was going to his beat, that there was a bustle near St. Michael's-alley, Cornhill, and upon going to the spot he found the prisoner in custody of Morris. Witness then took from the prisoner's trousers' pocket a gold watch, seals, and key, which the Imo secutor identifiqd as the property just stolen from him. The LORD Mairoa--Prisoner, this is a heavy charge against you, have you anything to say ? Prisoner—Not a word. The prisoner was then committed for trial. A case, in which the interests of a vast number of persons connected with the river Thames, and the evidence in which was heard on a former day, was decided before Alderman Gibbs. It was briefly as follows : Mr. William Bent, of Cannon-row Wharf, West minster, coal-merchant, appeared to answer to an information, charging him with having carried goods, wares, and merchandises for hire, in a barge called " The Fly," he not being a licensed wat erman, or freemen of the W a t erman 's Company, contrary t o t h e Act of 7th and Bth G eo . IV., ca p. 75, which infli c t s a penalty of 101. for every such offence. Mr. Wire attended in support of the information. Mr. .Chambers, the barrister with Mr. Nelson, the solicitor, appeared on behalf o f the, defendant. The defendant pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. Wire said he appeared on the part of a most numerous body of men, the free watermen of the City of London, on whose behalf the information had been laid, for an infringement of their rights: They were under certain obligations to serve the country in time ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York, August 27. lAILWAY ACCIDENT - WHETENALL V. THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action, tried before a special Jury, to recover damages for injury received by reason of the negligence of the defendants, through their servants. Mr. KnowLEs stated the case at length, the sub stance of which was that the plaintiff, son of the chief engineer of the Low Moor Ironworks, was a passenger in a third class carriage belonging to the defendants, on his way from Wakefield to Leeds ; and on the Ist of March last, while he was reclining against the door of the waggon, it suddenly flew open, the plaintiff was thrown out, and fell with one leg upon the line. ( Immediately the whole train of carriages behind passed over his leg, and it was superfluous to state, that the leg, foot, and calf, were mixed in one mass together, and the leg was irrecoverably. lost. The attention of the guard was called to the circumstance, the position of the plaintiff was pointed out to him, he was implored immediately to get the train stopped, and see what could be done for the sufferer. The guard in answer said, that the man must be dead, that there was no use stopping the train, and that a fall like that must kill any man. The train went on, and the man was left where he had fallen. He was thrown with his head and breast on the other line of railway, so that if a train had come up from Leeds he must have been killed, as there was a bend on the line at that part and they could not have seen him, or, at all events, they could not have stopped the train. If the train had been stopped, the plaintiff might have been carried to Leeds in ten minutes, and there receive the best surgical assistance ; but as it was, forty minut es elapsed before a train re ac h e d him from Leeds. The plaintiff was taken care of by some labourers on the line, and afterwards conveyed back to Wakefield, where, on the same evening, his — leg was amputated a little below the knee. The Learned Counsel charged the Company with negli gence in reference to the formation of the carriage, the door of which latter was not properly fastened. A number of witnesses were examined for the plaintiff, who fully proved the case stated by the Learned Counsel, with the exception of the motives which induced the conductor to go on forward rather than stop. Mr. BAINES, • for the defendant, said the guard made a signal to the engine -man to stop the train, but as the e ng i ne - man did not see the accident, but only saw a hat fall out of one of the carriages, he thought that the object for stopping the train was to pick up the hat, and, know ing that that was against the regulations of the Com pany, he did not stop the train. There was no. pre tence for casting an imputation of harshness upon the Company, for everything had been done for the plain tiff, after the accident, that could be done. Mr. KNOWLES replied, and Lord DENMAN summed up the case, and the Jury, after a short retirement. returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1,0001, of war, and the Legislature in return had donferred upon them certain privileges, giving to every freeman, or the apprentice of every freeman, or the widow of a freeman, the exclusive right to navigate barges, &c., on the river Thames, except in cases where the barges were the property of the persons whose goods they carried. He should prove in this case that the de fendant was the owner of the barge " Fly," that he carried therein the goods of Messrs. Felton and Son ; that he was not a freeman, and that, ther e f ore , h e h a d incurred the penalty of 1011 for every offence he had committed. There were several informations against the defendant, but inasmuch as the object of the wa termen was not to obtain penalties, but to establish a right, they would not, in the first instance, press for severe penalties, but be satisfied with a sufficient pe nalty to cover the costs of the proceedings. Mr. Chambers said, as the Act was a final one, and the penalties were severe, he should require the strictest proof that the defendant was the owner of the barge, that the goods were carried for hire, that tha defendant was not a freeman of the Waterman's Com pany, &e. Mr. Wire then proceeded to call and examine his witnesses in support of the information. Mr. Banyon, clerk to the Watermens' Company, proved that the defendant and Joseph Bent had a barge registered 1,369, called the "Fly ;" that he knew the defendant, William Bent, who was a wood monger, and not a freeman of the Watermens' Company. Mr. Vale, shipping clerk to the Coal Exchange, proved that a cargo of coals on board the ship X L was sold by Mr. Metcalf, the factor, to Messrs. Fel ton and Son. Mr. Felton proved the handwriting of his son to the bought note, and Messrs. Perriman and Senior proved the delivery of a part of the cargo of the X J into the Fly on Messrs. Felton's account. Leach, a waterman, proved that he had worked the Fly for Mr. Bent. John Henry Kent, the defendant's servant, proved that he took the barge Fly down to the X L by di rection of the defendant or his clerks ; that it was loaded with Felton's coals, and was numb e r e d 1,369, and had the nam e " W. Bent," as the owner, painted thereon. Each witness was cross-examined at considerable length by Mr. Chambers, who made every effort to prevent the reception of everything but what he de nominated " strict legal evidence" on the occasion. Alderman GIBBS intimated his opinion that the case had been proved, Whereupon Mr. Chambers, in a most able address, urged that the case had not been proved, that if the defendant were to be convicted, the waterman would suffer more than his client ; that the Act of Parlia ment was a most absurd one ; that looking at it as a whole, he was of opinion the Legislature must have been tipsey when it passed such a Bill, or that the clauses which were so dangerous had been thrown into it in Committee, without coherence and without adequate consideration. That the clauses upon which it was intended to fix the defendant .were irrecon cilable, and could not be fairly combined together, and that if taken separately, there was no one of them upon which his client could be fixed with a penalty. Mr. Chambers also argued that the infor mation was insufficient and informal. Alderman GIBBS said in delivering judgment he was clearly of opinion that the fact was established, that the information had been sustained by sufficient evidence, and that he ought therefore to convict the defendant. Mr. Chambers gave notice of appeal, and it was ar ranged that the other case should stand over. Mr. Bent was prevented by illness from attending personally, and the Alderman did not name the sum in which he convicted the defendant, as the conviction is to be dated from the day on which the personal appearance shall be made, in accordance with the ne cessary forms preparatory to the appeal. GUILDHALL. ROBBERY IN A PUBLIC-HOUSE.—John Edmoston. and Roberts, were placed before Mr. Alderman Johnson, charged with s t ea li ng f rom t h e person of Mr. Phillips, a law stationer, of Bedford-row, the sum of 41., and a silver tooth-pick. Mr. Phillips, the prosecutor, stated that he hardly 'recollected what occurre d, as h e was intoxicated. Ire never saw the pri soner before. He r eco ll ec t e d t h at the prisoner Edmoston, struck him in the eye, and put his hand in his pocket at the same time. It was the pocket in which the gold was. He afterwards found that four sovereigns were gone. Two other witnesses, however, gave evidence which strongly inculpated the prisoners, and the Alderman committed them for trial. QUEEN-SQUARE. John Dyer, eating-house- keeper, Broadway, West minster, was charged by James Martin, with com mitting a brutal assault upon a person at present in the hospital on account of the injuries he had received. He stated that when sitting at his parlour window he saw defendant pushing a poor squalid-looking wretch out of his house ; that on the pavement he struck him twice or thrice. That he pushed him down, and his head came in contact with the kerb stone, and the blood burst in torrents from his eats mouth, and nose. H e was conveye d to the hospital. ' Did not know the injured man himself, but thought it his duty to bring the case before the Magistrate. The prisoner, in his defence, stated that the party injured came into his place, ordered a penn'orth of cabbages, and, using .very abominable language, he was obliged to order him out. He immediately threw a quantity of the cabbage in his (defendant's) face, when he certainly pushed him, and struck him, but had no intention of causing the injuries, for which he expressed his deep sorrow. The MAGISTRATE remanded the case for a week, to ascertain how the wounded man gets on, and ordered, defendant to find bail, himself in 1001., and twe sureties in 501. each. Sureties were found for his further appearance. WESTERN ClRCUlT—Bristol, Aug. 26. :Before Mr. Justice WianTmax and Special Juries MICIIELLS V. WILLIAMS. - This was an action to recover damages for a mali cious prosecution. Both the parties were clergymen. The plaintiff rented a house of the defendant with a right of sporting. There were differences between them ; and in May or June the plaintiff cut away the dam of a fish-pond which was in the defendant's ground, in order to let the water off, that he might catch the fish, alleging that it was with the knowledge and consent of the defendant's agent. The defendant, however, denied this, and laid an information against the plaintiff before two Magistrates of Carmarthen. A summons was issued, and the plaintiff went before the Magistrates, who, having heard th e c h arge , de cided on com m itti ng him for trial. He was, however, admitted to bail until the assizes, when an indictment was preferred against him, which, however, the Grand Jury ignored; and he now brought his action for this prosecution. The defendant contended that he had reasonable grounds for what he did, that the plaintiff did not sport in the regular way, but snared hares and threw lime into the trout streams, and that the cutting away the dam was done with a malicious motive. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages, 4001. N.B, Ditto ditto...

COEBURN'S NEW 'MONTHLY MAGAZINE FOR SEP • TEMBER.—Thomas Hood, the able Editor of this popu lar Magazine, in the Number for September, seems de termined to satisfy the tastes of all classes of readers. For the sportsman, he very seasonably brings forward a capital paper, evidently • from a first-rate shot, called " The First of September ; or, a Day's Partridge Shoot ing." For the tourist, there is an admirable description of an adventure in Persia, by the Hon. C. Stuart Savile.. and it clever ardcle, called " The" Love of the Country ;" whilst such as continue in " populous city pent," will find no less satisfaction in making themselves acquainted with Mr. Poole's graphic continuation of the career of their thrifty fellow-citizen, " Phineas Quiddy." The thousands who are regarding with the deepest interest the progress (,f our arrangements with the United States, may obtain a tolerable estimate of the sayings and doings of our Transatlantic fgethren, by following the foot steps of the " Barnabys in America," under the able auspices of Mrs. Trollope. The lover of the wild and wonderful, will obtain ample gratification in the story of " Leah Meriel," by the author of " The Reminiscences of a Medical Student ;" and those of more sober taste are sure of - being satisfied with the narrative of the "Rector of Rushley," by the, author of " P e t er Prig gins." _ As for the Editor himself, we know not whether most to admire his brilliant poem of the ".Elm Tree, a Dream in the Woods," or his laughable unpoetic brochure, called " A First Attempt at Rhyme." • '0 TAUNTON, !ir Distances from Paddington.

SlR—The paragraph respecting the Great Western, which appeared in your paper of the 23d inst., and the imperfect account of the meeting of Proprietors in Bristol which has appeared in other papers, being likely to affect passengers and freight, in the yet unper formed voyages of the season, I beg to inform you that the abandonment of the advertised engagements of the Great Western has not been once thought of by the Di rectors, and that it is intended to despatch her from Liverpool (as announced in the advertisements) on the 3d September, and from Bristol on the 22d October. Yours, &e., CHRISTOPHER CLAXTON, Liverpool, Aug. 24. Managing Director. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—You will oblige me by correcting the mis statement that appeared in your paper a few days ago, and which ori g i na t e d with the Birmingham Tory paper, that I had been summoned, or apprehended, for printing a Chartist bill. I have printed no Chartist bills lately, and have not been summoned. Yours, &c., J. TAYLOR. Smallbrook-street, Birmingham, Aug. 29, 1842. - PRESENTATION OF A PIECE OF PLATE TO .

Si ,—lf yOur correspondent, who complains of the very high rate of flour and bread in proportion to the price of wheat, were to adopt a spirited opposition as several individuals in this town have done, the price of each would soon be reduced. The parties to whom I refer last week sent the public cryer round the town of Ilfracombe to announce that if the price of flour was not reduced to a fair remunerating market price, that a party was ready to open a store for the sale of it on such terms ; this notice was looked at rather as a. threat than earnest, and no notice was taken either by the millers or flour dealers, but they were soon undeceived on the arrival of the steam packet Torridge, from Bideford, on Wednesday last by a lare quantity being landed from it on t h e quay on Thursday morning. The cryer was imme diately sent round the town to announce that 71bs of fine flour would be sold for one shilling and 81bs of seconds ; the store was crowded the whole of the day, and the poor people who generally here make there own bread were lavish in their thanks for the boon given them. There are parties in this town who keep an oven for baking bread, and are willing to make and bake loaves for twopence each, for each shilling's worth of flour ; yesterday loaves were.exhibited which had been made from the flour sold, the loaves from the 71bs of flour weighed from Bilbs. to 841b5., ani those from the Blbs. for a shilling from 10Ibs. to 10flbs., these loaves costing when baked fourteen pence each—without any potatoes, for it ought to be known that bakers cannot make the fine light white bread without potatoes ; a sack of flour weighing 280Ibs. will make 90 loaves of 41bs. each, or 3601b5. weight of bread ; so that in each 41bs. loaf there is only a fraction above three pounds of flour. Previous to the opening of the new flour store, no ix, flour was sold in th e t own at more t h an 6 1b s. for the F l shilling. The parties who have commenced the oppo- E g s t t sition have declared that when the public is supplied Mize with flour at 6ilbs. for the shilling of the quality they First are retailing at 71bs. for the shilling they will close the store. I am , Si r, yours, & c., s Ilfracombe, Aug. 27, 1842. I. I. I. Another, shock of earthquake, not less formidable than those of April last, affrighted the inhabitants of Culamata on the 12th ult., at four in the afternoon. The church of St. George was thrown down, and two other churches and forty houses were more or. Jess damaged. A few nights since, says the Journal d' Avranches, 28 houses in the village of 1-layne Pesnel were reduced to ashes. The loss is estimated at 300,000 f. The dis aster was occasioned, it is supposed, by lightning. The cologne Gazette publishes the following im portant intelligence, communicated by its correspondent at Frankfort, under the date df the 21st of August : " I have this moment learned from a source worthy of credit a piece of intelligence of great importance to the commerce of the Rhine, which I hasten to communicate to you ; a treaty of commerce relative to wines and silks, has lately been concluded between the German Customs Union and Belgium, analogous to that which has been concluded between that country and France." NIGER EXPEDITION.—Accounts received from Fernando Po, by the Magistrate, arrived at Liverpool, state that the Wilberforce left on June 5, for Princes, and the Soudan at the same time for likanibra. 4 ` rut on lam and MIDLAND COUNTIES.
