On Wednesday last an important meeting of . the ma nufacturers of the . Couuties w o h f it G e humacretsteHro, Wtel, ilts, and a i ald t Somerset, took place at the twelve o'clock, to take into consideration the effect of the present Corn-laws on thee-foreign and home trade in the woollen manufacture in_ the above counties ; 'and to take such proceedings thereon, either by memorial to the Go vernment, or petitions to the Legislature, as the Meeting may think desirable. Mr. PHILLIPS, of Melksham, was unanimously called to the Chair. Amongst the gentlemen present were the following mantifaCturers connected with the three coun ties :—Somersetshire—Mr. William Gee, Freshford ; Mr. Wood, Frome; Mr. Brittain, ditto; Mr. Houston, ditto; Mr. Brown, Chard. Gloucestershire--Mr. Charles Stan ton, Stroud; Mr. N. S. Marling. Stanley-mill; Mr. C. Hooper, Eastington; Mr. T. Marling, Ebley ; Mr. S. Mar ling, ditto; Mr. Dutton, Wootton-under-Edge; Mr. Lo ng, jun., Charfield; Mr. Smith, near Stroud. Wiltshire— Mr. J. L. Phillips, Melksham; Mr. S. Salter, Trow bridge; Mr. J. Gouldsnaith, ditto; Mr. John Stancomb, ditto; Mr. J. H. Webb, ditto; Mr. Martravers, West bury; Mr. N. Overbury, ditto; Mr. H. Overbury, ditto; Mr. E. Edmonds, jun., Bradford; Mr. Thomas Speck man, ditto; Mr. Smith, Melksham. The CHAIRMAN proceded to say that the meeting had assembled for the purpose of taking into consideration the effect of the existing Corn-laws upon the foreign and home trade of the woollen manufacturers of Gloucester shire, Wiltshire, and Somersetsbire. He was an advo cate of free intercourse with foreign nations ; and he believed that there was an expansive principle in free . trade of which it was impossible fully to estimate the importance. He remembered that about twenty years ago he and his brother manufacturers met in the room in which they were now assembled to, petition against the imposition of a duty of 6d. per lb. on foreign wool. The agriculturists at that time thought that, unless that duty were imposed, they would not he able to obtain a fair price for their wool. They snc ceeded in Parliament, and the duty was imposed. What effect had the imposition of the duty on foreign wool upon the price of English wool ? It went down from about Is. to 6d., and at that price it remained until the duty on foreign wool was removed.—(Hear, hear.) Whilst the duty was in existence, the consumption of foreign wool amounted to about nine millions of pounds per annum, whilst last year, with free importation, the consumption was no less than fifty-nine millions. During the continuance of the duty, the price of English wool was sixpence ; and he would now state what had been its price since that duty had bcon removed, It had been from one shilling or fourteeupence up to eighteenpence, but never less than one shilling.—(Applause.) This afforded a striking proof of the expansive principle of free trade. He might mention one fact to. show the in fluence which the Corn and Provision-laws exercised upon the manufactures of the country. A gentleman who was now present, Mr. Salter, happening to be in Kent last winter, was surprised to observe that large quantities of English wool were constantly being carried down to the coast, and upon inquiry he ascertained that the wool was consigned to French manufacturers, who came into the market. and paid the grower twopence per pound more than the English manufacturer could afford to give.— (Hear.) ' Now, the English manufacturers had not the smallest objection to the exportation of wool, provided they were allowed to import corn.—(Great applause.) The people of the country had the happiness to possess political liberty, and he hoped the time would soon come when they would also be in the enjoyment of commer cial freedom.—(Applause.) At present their hands were tied, and they were shut out from many of the most important markets of the world. The Americans would willingly have paid the debt they owed us in corn, but they were prevented by the sliding, or, as he thought it ought rather to be called the slippery, scale. He con - eluded by calling; Ripon the meeting to give an impartial hearing to all who might address them. Mr. E. EDWARDS, jun., of Bradford, moved the first resolution : " Resolved, 1. That this meeting feels deeply con vinced that the increasing depression of commerce, and the rapid decline of the woollen trade in the counties of Gloucester, Wilts, and Somerset, are fearfully destroy ing capital, neutralizing skill, and pauperizing the work ing classes of society, thereby spreading distress and discontent throughout the manufacturing districts of the above counties." From " facts," gathered from the immediate locality in which I reside, I hesitate not for one moment in recom mending this resolution for your adoption. The decline of the woollen trade, the destruction of capital, and the distress of the labouring classes in this district, are of so dire a nature, as will, I am sure, awaken alarm in the minds of every one. The cry of distress has arisen from every quarter of the land.—(Hear, hear)--but none can show a more rapid decline than Bradford. The town of Bradford contains, by the census of 1841, 8,309 inha bitants ; being an increase of ten per cent. on the popu lation of 1831, and about twenty per cent. on 1821. The decrease of the manufacture of broad cloth, which is the staple commodity of this town, is of a nature that is almost beyond belief. In the year 1820, or thereabouts. nineteen manufacturers carried on busi ness there, producing in the aggregate 620 pieces of broad cloth per week ; the town was, at that period, in a happy and prosperous state—l means as regards the labouring population—every family had employment, and their wages were good ; 15s. per week was the usual price of a man's labour, whilst weavers and other artisans earned still higher wages. The contrast now is of such a nature as is fearful to contemplate, and such as I almost hesitate to declare. The manufacturers have diminished to two in number, and the quantity produced to 100 pieces, or one-sixth of the quantity made twenty years ago.—( 'gear, hear.) Of the nineteen manufacturers who then flourished, nine, or one-half, have failed, five have declined business from want of success, one has merged into another establish ment, and two only at present exist, whose united pro duce is scarce 100 pieces.—(Hear, hear.) This change has .not been the effect of any sudden convulsion : it has been slow and gradual, one after the other have dropped away. In the year 1838, when I had • occasion to refer to the quantity then manufactured, I found it to be 144 pieces ; since then another reduction has occurred, which brings it to less than 100 pieces. I need scarcely add, that depreciation in the value of property of every de scription, except land, has suffered in a like propor tion. I will mention one or two instances : a factory and premises, let twenty years ago for 1.2001. per annum, is now rented at 3001. per annum ; another property of the same kind, which was let on lease of twenty-one years, at 350/. per annum, on which 2,0001. has since been expended, making, say 4501. per annum, is now partially occupied at 601. per annum ; the other part having been for years unoccupied.— (Hear, hear.) I addressed two letters to gentlemen who are large owners of cottage property, requesting to be furniShed with a return of the rentals of ten cottages in 1820 and 1840; the first return showed the ten cottages in 1820 produced a net rental of 90.'. 18s. ; in 1840 a net rental of 201. per annum ; the second, 601 to 12/ Every description of artisanship and mechanics has decreased in a similar way. But if there has been a decrease or cessation in the manufactures of the town of Bradford, and a depreciation in the value of pro perty, I now come to a subject which has neither decreased nor diminished, which, to use language of some notoriety, has increased, is increasing, and ought to be diminished—l allude to the crying distress of its labouring population. The numbers have increased, as I before stated, some twenty per cent. since 1821, and ten per cent. since 1831 ; but their means of subsistence have diminished in a ratio which baffles my powers of cal - culation; I will, however, give you the result of cer tain inquiries I have made on the subject. In the dis trict of the parish of Bradford, which contains 8,309 inhabitants, there are 462 looms; of these 316 are entirely out of work, 135 partly in work, and eleven arc in full work ; you can easily calculate, if 316 looms are out of work, how many individuals in the other branches of manufactures are out of employ : my own calculation is, that 1,082 individuals are represented by the 316 looms, who are wholly without the means of obtaining a livelihood, save the scanty pittance of parochial relief ; but scanty as that pittance is, it is map-,niticence and luxury compared with what many of the inhabitants of this unfortunate town have to subsist on. I have made a strict investigation and analysis of the quantity of meat • and bread consumed by the said population, 8,309. I have been as minute as possible, and can pledge myself that it is more accurate than statistical tables generally • are, and have been subjected to the revision of the most competent persons, and this is the result :—ln the 13 weeks from October 1, to December 31, 1841, the ave rage weekly consumption of the 5,309, was 9,497 lbs. of meat, and 9,437 quartern loaves ; now out of this popu lation there are 6,0001b5., consumed by 2,490 persons, 4091bs are also consumed in the union workhouse per week, making 6,4091b5. to be deducted from the 9,4971bs of meat killed, and leaving 3,0881h5, for the consump tion of 5,909 persons, which amounts to Boz. sdr. per head per week ;_ the bread and flour consumed during the same period amount to 9,437 quartern loaves per week, or 790 z. per head per week. I have made this calculation to compare with the dietary of the Union workhouse, and if England has rung with alarm at the severity of the new Poor-law, what will be said when we compare the magnitude of the provisions of the new Poor-law with that of the subsistence , of the labouring poor out of the house ? The dietary of the Bradford Union is 13310 z. meat per week ; the labouring popula • tion of Bradford are doomed to Boz. sdr., or say about 81oz. The dietary of the Bradford Union allows 112 oz. to the able-bodied pauper within the walls of a workhouse, as the minimum that can support nature ; the commerce and the agriculture of this noble land doom its labourer to 790 z., being as nearly as possible two thirds of the allowance to the person who was heretofere deemed too wretched when he had to seek for relief from the parish officer. In the year. 1820, the quantity of meat and bread consumed in this place was.four times as much as at present, which, with the less population existing at that period, makes as nearly as possible five times as much per head to each individual.—(Hear.) Mr. SAMUEL S. MARLING, Of Stroud, in seconding the resolution, said, without detaining the meeting with any observations of a general character, he would at once proceed to lay before them some information which he had collected respeting the state of the neighbourhood in which he resided—namely, Stroud. Before doing so, however, perhaps he might be excused for stating one fact connected with the imposition of the duty of 6tl. per pound on foreign wool, to which the Chairman had ad verted. In consequence of the imposition of that duty wool accumulated in Germany to a great extent, until at length, being unable to find any vent for it, the Germans were compelled to become manufacturers themselves, and that was the origin of the woollen manufactures of Ger many and Belgium, where cloth was now made which used formerly to be supplied from the valleys of Glou ceatershire.—(Applause.) Mr. Marling then communi cated the following statistical information respecting the manufacturing condition of the county of Gloucester : In CHALFORD, since 1831, there has been a decrease in the number of ooeupied mills of twelve. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 1842. • STROUD (including Chalford and Painswick) showed a decrease of thirty-seven. ULEY of four-fifths, having only one mill at work. Worrom—a decrease of nine, DURSLEY.—A decrease of mills at work. " The number of looms employed in the six parishes of Uley, King Stanley, Leonard Stanley, Stonehouse Rand wick, and Stroud, obtained by actual survey showed a decrease of 653 power-looms during the last ten years. In the county of Gloucester, in the same space of time, a decrease of 1,667. "Of the number of yards of cloth made in the county of Gloucester during the last ten years the decrease was 82.5,342. " The number of manufacturers in the county of Glou cester have decreased from 80 to 42. " The number who have failed since 1831 is 50. " Average of the estimated reduction in the purchase of articles of grocery and plain apparel by the manufac turing_ operatives, supplied by the shopkeepers, 40 per cent. during the past five years." He begged pardon for having entered into such dry details ; but he thought facts of this description were important.—(Hear.) He held in his hand a specimen of a stripe made in Germany for the China market. Compar ing the article with our own manufacture, the latter cer tainly appeared superior, but not so much so as to induce a preference to be given to it if the price was much higher. The German article could be sold for from 4s. 4d. to 4s. 6d., whilst the English one could not be sold for less than from 4s. 9d. to ss. —(Hear, hear.) In conclusion, be hoped the manufacturers would never give up the agitation of the question until the Corn-laws should b be altogether removed from the statute-book. He considered that the agriculturists would be as much benefited as the manufacturers by the repeal of the Corn la'ws,• and in corroboration of that opinion he begged to read an extract from a letter which he had received from an agriculturist, Mr. Smith, of Uley, which was as follows : " Uley, Dec. 31, 1841. " In reply to your letter of the 27th inst., making in nuiries relative to the trade of Uley, I beg to state that upwards of 1,000 persons have moved off since the de cline of the woollen tradg here, some to the Canadas and some to Australia, but chiefly to the United States of America, so that house property is scarcely worth hav ing at the price of conveyance. I know an instance where a person built some very substantial houses since 1820, which cost him upwards of 1,1001., and this year has been obliged to give them up to the mortgagee for 2001. on them, and he is now receiving parochial relief. " A considerable number of cottages were built by persons employed in the manufactures, who had saved a little money, but nearly the whole of them have been given up to creditors. I have lately heard of eleven cot tages having been sold, with one half acre of land, for 12111. " I could multiply instances of this sort, but these will suffice as samples of this sort of property in our parish. " The number of mills employed in the woollen trade in our parish as under:—ln 1831, five ; in 1841, one. " Comparative value of mills, in 1831, 42,0001. ; in 1841, 3,200/. " Gross rental of employed mills, in 1831, 2,9701. ; in 1841, 701. " Estimated number of looms employed, in 1831, 410 ; in 1841, 12. " The amount in the pound paid for poor-rates as under:—ln 1836, ss. 10d. in the pound on the valuation; in 1837, Bs. 4d. ditto ; in 1838, 10s. 10d. ditto ; in 1839, 12s. 6d. ditto ; in 1840, 14s. 2d. ditto ; in 1841, 15s. sd. ditto. " The loss of trade here appears to have carried away all the spirit and energy of the people, so that little is thought of but how they can get their daily bread. "I am almost as dependent on agriculture as on trade ; but I see that if we get good prices for our cheese, we shall be compelled to pay it back in poor rates. "SAMUEL SMITH." Mr. MATRAVERS said that before the resolution was put to the meeting, he wished to communicate , the fol lowing information respecting the state of the population of Westbury :--" The population of Westbury is partly agricultural and partly manufacturing. The manufac turing part have been much helped, owing to many having allotment land ; but with this aid they are suf fering the greatest privations of comfort. Although comparatively few have applied for parochial relief, a few statistical accounts will confirm this. The average money earned by many respectable weavers having only one loom,has been only five to six shillings per week. In the parish the unemployed looms are 354. No power-looms. The pawnbroker's shop is full. He says he has twice as many articles as he had five or six years ago, and the poor cannot redeem, nor can be sell them. His business is at a stand with the poor, as they have pledged all that they have to pawn ; but the class above them are now taking their places. A respectable shopkeeper, who depended mostly on the poor for cus tom, says his trade is not half what it was when bread was low, say 1836." Col. GonE LANGTON, said he had always been opposed to these laws. It might not be known to some present that he was the Member of the House of Commons who, in 1815, opposed the motion for the Speaker leaving the Chair, in order that those abomin able laws might be taken into consideration. Many great landowners came to him and begged him not to divide the House upon that occasion ; but he persisted in doing so, and he had a minority of only thirteen—just a baker's dozen—to support him.—(Laughter and ap plause.) He avowed himself to be a member of the Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law Association. He would be proud to present the petition of the meeting, as he had been requested to do. If, unfortunately, it should be found impossible to effect the total repeal of the Corn laws, he would then support Lord J. Russell's proposition fur a fixed duty of Bs.—(Applause.) The CHAIRMAN said, before the resolution was put, that respecting Melksham many looms have been cut up, and the timber used for other purposes. The master manufacturers have been reduced in this parish from eighteen to two in the last 30 years. There are no power-looms. Census-1831, 4.722 ' 1841, 5.244. Emi gration to America and Jttmaica has lately taken place to a small extent." The resolution was then put, and agreed to una nimously. . Mr. N. OVERBUItY, of Westbury, said it was his duty to propose the second resolution :—" That this meeting is fully persuaded that the evils it deplores are principally, if not -entirely, occasioned by partial legislation founded on principles of protection, and more especially by the un just and oppressive effect of the Corn and Provision-laws." In Germany, Prussia, and Italy, full two-thirds of the revenue is collected from the land.—(Hear.) It should be borne in mind that the land of Great Britain has enormously increased in value within the last 50 years, for on a calculation of the rental of 100 parishes in Scot land, it was found the rental of 1771 was 287,8241., whilst in 1841 it was 744,2731. Another advantage pos sessed by the landed interest is the horse tax, for although the duty on agricultural horses in 1814 pro duced a revenue of 828,4551., yet in 1822, in consequence of the low price of wheat, averaging 445. 7d. per quarter, the complaints of the farmers were so great that it was totally abolished. I might name other cases, but I should occupy too much of your time. I will now go to the effects of these laws, to which I mainly attri bute the appalling distress you have had set before you. I will now come to' the competition of foreign manufac turers, who have become formidable rivals to us in foreign markets, under the fostering care of our Corn and Pro vision-laws ; for I cannot trace their cheaper productions to any other cause' than the lower cost of food. We have certainly the advantage over them in our mines of coal and iron, as well as in machinery, capital, and industry but, against all these advantages, what has been the re sult ? You have heard of the distress and absolutely alarmingly diminished production of our manufacturers, you have heard of the depreciation of mill property, and loss of capital, and yet the woollen manufacture on the Continent is in a most flourishing condition. France, which, a few years ago, imported scarcely any wool from Germany, during the past year imported no lets than, from 50,090 to 60,000 cwt. ; and in Prussia Proper there was used, of their own and the neighbouring growths, no less a quantity than 24 mil lion pounds, being more than what is imported to Eng land from the whole of Europe. There were in Prussia woollen looms, in 1825, 22,139 ; 1834, 31,759 ; 1837, 39,793 ; being an increase in the first nine years of 5 per cent. per annum, and in the last three years of no less than Si per cent. The Prussian exports, reckoned in lbs., were, in 1831, 8,316,972, and in 1841, no less than 13,246,777, being an increase of nearly 45 per cent.—(liear, hear.) The trade of Belgium has also increased in nearly a similar proportion, while, accord ing to the statement of Mr. Alderman Bateson, of Leeds, our. exports of woollens, which in 1824 were 567,317 pieces, were reduced in 1840 to 258,962 pieces. At the same time we are largely exporting the means of manufacture in the shape of coal, iron, and ma chinery. Coals: 1822, 284,576 tons; 1835, 736,080 tons; 1E39, 1,431,861 tons. Iron : 1822, 59,571 tons; 1835, 140,060 'ions; 1833, 192,211 tons ; 1839-1840, 246,583 tons. Machinery : 1831, 92,7151.; 1838, 627,430/4 Jan. 5, 1841, 593,0641. The small diminution in the latter case was owing to an alteration of the law which allowed the exportation of some articles prohibited before, and to the extensive practice of smuggling small articles of machinery. You havo heard the allusion made by the Chairman to the exportation of English wool ; I will, therefore, give you the quantity ; from a very small amount in 1824, when the duty of 6d, per lb. was taken off, it rose in 1840 to the enormous amount of 4,810,387 lbs., and remember, that this was raw material, without a particle of labour being put upon it. I think I need not urge you to enter your solemn pro test against these unrighteous laws, by giving a full, hearty, and unanimous support to the resolution I have been called on to propose.— (Cheers.) Mr. C. STAUNTON, of Stroud, seconded the resolution. .The, resolution was then carried all but unanimously, only two hands being held up against it. • Mr. C. lloorEn, of Eastington, said that the past year had been one of great depression to the manufac turing interest, and every person connected with it must have had his feelings powerfully operated upon by the distress of .the operatives. During the time he had carried on business in the parish in which he resided, he had seen four-fifths of the principal manufacturers go out of the trade, and generally speaking, insolvent. In the first three months of the past year lie received 300 ap plications from operatives seeking employment, not one of which he was able to comply with. Matters had long been going on from bad to worse. During the last 15 years he had seen mill property depreciated to the extent of 50 or 60 per cent. ; whilst wages had been reduced about 50 per cent. Owing to the competition amongst unem ployed operatives at the present moment, manufactiirers might, if so disposed, still further reduce - wages. He had no doubt he could himself save 1,5001. a year upon the amount which he at present paid in. wages ;_ but he would not do so.—(Hear, hear.) He concluded with moving the following resolution : " That all restrictive and prohibitory duties interfering with the free interchange of commodities, and not levied solely for the purposes of revenue, are in principle erro neous and unjust, and in their effects ultimately prepi dicial to all classes of the community. That this meeting therefore claims as a right the removal of all protective duties on the importation of corn and provisions, and at the same time is willing and desirous that the duties in tended for the protection of British manufactures should be repealed, and that the just, wise, and peaceful princi ples of free trade should govern the entire commercial legislation of the empire." Mr: SAMUEL SALTER, of Trowbridge, seconded the re solution.—The resolution was unanimously agreed to. Mr. J. STANCOSIDE, of Trowbridge, moved the follow ing resolution:—" That this meeting painfully feels that the time is come when an effort must be made to save the trade with which it stands connected from impending ruin; and therefore, pledges itself to use all lawful and constitutional means to obtain the repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws, and a fair and equitable adjustment of our commercial code." Though the distress existing in Trowbridge was not so great as that which prevailed in the neighbouring town of Bradford, it was neverthe less very considerable. He concluded with moving— " That petitions, founded on the above resolutions, be presented to the Houses of Lords and Commons, and that the most Honourable the Marquis of Lansdowne be requested to present the petition to the House of Lords, and that Col. Gore Langton be requested to present the petition to the House of Commons." Mr. L. WOOD, of Frome, seconded the resolution, and made some statements respecting Frorne, which showed it to have been one of the most flourishing towns in the kingdom, but it was .now fast declining. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. J. H. WEBB, of Trowbridge, said he was anxious to propose a resolution, in addition to those already adopted by the meeting. He then moved a resolution. which directed the attention of the Government to the distressed state of the woollen trade in the west of Eng land, and suggesting the propriety of making such an alteration in the existing Corn-laws as would prevent the speculators of Mark-lane tampering with the ave rages, but deprecating the granting of any protection to the manufacturing iaterest, which would be injurious to the agriculturist ; and finally expressing an opinion that the imposition of any additional burden upon agricul ture would prove, most detrimental to the manufacturing interest. Mr. W. GEE begged leave to second this resolution. The CliAnimAN — said that, before he put the resolution to the meeting, he considered it necessary to observe the resolutions already adopted called for no protection for the manufacturing interest. The resolution was then put and negatived, only three hands being raised in its favour. Mr. T. MARTIN, of Stroud, moved the next resolution, which was seconded by Mr. BROWN, of Chard, and una nimously agreed to. Mr. STAUNTON, M.P., for Stroud, said he had wit nessed the proceedings of the meeting with great plea sure, and would be happy to support the prayer of the petition. Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meet ing then broke up. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 8. IN RE BLAKE AND DIATJNSELL. This day was appointed for the choice of assignees under the fiat against the bankrupts, who carried on ex tensive business as iron-founders. The Solicitor to the fiat said, since the bankrupt Blake had passed his last examination circumstances had tran spired by which he thought he should be able to establish a clear case of fraud against him, and if the information he received were true, he thought it was a matter which might be brought before a Criminal Court. The Learned COMMISSIONER said the less said in the preliminary arrangement of matters like this the better. When the assignees were appointed a closer scrutiny could be entered upon. Charles Jones sought to prove for the sum of 1,4701. 10s. for goods sold and delivered. The official assignee said he had reason to believe that some of these goods had been supplied after the docket had been struck against the bankrupt. Several proofs having • been established, and others deferred until after tha appointment of assignees, Messrs. Swainson and Bane were chosen. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 8. IN RE J. E. CAREW. At the sitting of the Court this morning, the case of Mr. Carew, the sculptor, was called on pursuant to ad journment, and the further hearing again . adjourned to this day week, in consequence of the indisposition of the Learned Chief Commissioner, who has been suffer ing from illness for some days past. Mr. Carew appeared in Court, and the bail was enlarged to Saturday next. No other cause of interest appeared upon the paper for hearing, and the Court was occupied during the moon ing in disposing of trifling bail cases. LONDON QUARTER SESSIONS. These Sessions commenced on Saturday, before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Alderman Brown, Sir John Cowan, and Sir George Carrol. The Grand Jury having been sworn and addressed by the Recorder, the Court proceeded to try assault cases. W. Pollard, a city policeman, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with assaulting Edward Thorpe, and was ordered to enter into his own recognisances in the sum of 201. to keep the peace for twelve months. John Edgar, Elijah West, and John Brand, were con victed :of assaulting Mr. Stone. Edgar was fined 55., West 10s.. and Brand ls. Alfred Biggins, a City policeman, was convicted of as saulting John W ood, and sentenced to mile month's impri sonment and hard labour in Giltspur-street Compter. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSIOA-HOUSE. A young man, named Samuel Atkinson, was brought before Alderman Gibbs, upon the charge of haring ap propriated a Bank of England note for 1001., which he had found. It was quite evident that the prisoner and his whole family considered the finding sufficient autho rity for the appropriation. A clerk of the banking-house of Messrs. "Willis and Co., of Lombard-street, stated that the porter of the establishment dropped the 1001. note, which he was sent to the Bank of England to get changed. The note was immediately ordered to be stopped at the Bank, and soon afterwards intelligence was brought that it had been presented. Witness then learned that the foreman of a tradesman in Houndsditch, who re ceived it from the prisoner, had presented the note, and he sent to the shop in Houndsditch and saw the prisoner there, and questioned him on the subject. Upon being asked Where he got the note, the prisoner replied that it was no business of witness's, and refused to give it up, although the request was attended by a threat to have the prisoner apprehended and taken before the Lord Mayor. The note, which was at the Bank, was numbered 7,118, and dated sth of February, 1841. Witness then gave the prisoner .into the custody of a policeman, and caused him to be conveyed to the station-house in Bishopsgate-street, where, in answer to the inspector, he confessed that he had picked it up just outside of the Bank of England. The inspector observed to him that his conduct was very bad, and that if he had 'waited a little while, he would no doubt have been en titled to a reward. The porter to the banking-house, stated that he went over to the Bank, according to the direction he received, for change; and when he missed it, he procured the num ber and stopped it. , Alderman Ginas--Well, prisoner, what 'can you say to all this ?—The prisoner stated that as he and his younger brother were going to the Old Jewry, the latter saw the hundred pound note lying open on the pavement. They took it up and went off to Houndsditch to buy some clothes. Alderman GIBBS-Why did you do so ? You knew it did not belong to you. Prisoner—l did not know who it belonged to, and I thought we had as good a right to it as any body else. Mr. Smith, of Houndsditch, tailor, stated that the pEisoner and his mother and two brothers called at his shop, to purchase clothes, and bought to the amount of 61. 18s., tending in payment the 1001. bank note, which witness immediately sent by his foreman to the bank, to get cashed. The mother of the prisoner said the two boys picked up the note honestly, and we all went off to Mr. Smith's to buy clothes with it. Alderman Ganns—Do you call that having honest possession ? The mother of the prisoner—My Lord, we are all honest people ; we never did a dishonest thing in our lives, and we all work for the same master, as you can learn. We could not see then that there was anything wrong in laying out the money. Alderman GIBBS—It is so wrong that the prisoner, instead of receiving a reward, to which he would have been entitled if lie had kept the note for the owner, may be obliged to stand at the bar of the Old Bailey. The father of the prisoner—l hope not, your Lordship. We never meant anything wrong, but the fact is we were all in a state of madness when we saw the note. The porter said that a reward of 101 . would have been offered that morning if the prisoner had kept the note in Alderman in your object, his possession. eb a succeeded Gs (to t) ther prisoner)— orte r Now,would if p you had bl • ha% e lost his place and his character, and you would be haunted for y ears w i t h th e idea that you had improperly possessed yourself of the property of another. If it had been your own 1001. note, what would you have thought if some fellow in the street filund it and converted it to his use? The Mother—We all see now, my Lord, that it was very wrong, but we were all of us actually frantic at the sight of the note. Alderman Gluns—lt will be my duty, if the banking houSe think proper to prosecute, to commit the prisoner for stealing the note, and the mother and other sons for receiving it, knowing that it was stolen, so, that instead of getting 101. by the job, you -will stand a chance of conviction and transportation. The whole of the unfortunate family were greatly af fected and terrified at this frightful intimation, and the prisoner called for mercy on account of his wife, who was within an hour or two of her confinement. The clerk of the bankers stated that, in consideration of the state of the prisoner's wife his employers would forego the pro secution. Alderman GIBBS then stated to the prisoner, that he and his father and mother were deeply indebted to Messrs. Willis and Co., and that to say the least of what had been done it was a most ignorant act. The pri soner, upon hearing this intelligence, was to all appear ance relieved from a heavy weight, and the mother assured the Alderman that if any of the family ever found a hundred pound note again she would . take care to watch for the advertisement before she attempted to dis pose of it. A young man, of very extraordinary appearance, with a wild aspect, and what is called a " swivel" eye, was brought up, charged with having passed bad money. He stated, upon his first examination, that his name was Cadd, and that he never heard of Mr. Powell, o f t h e Mint ; but the policeman who apprehended him recog nised him as a most practised smasher, and so indefati gable in his vocation, that the moment he was last discharged from prison, be entered a stop, and succeeded in doing a little business, for the purpose of keeping his hand in. _ _ ...... Mr. Powell attended, and said that the prisoner had gone by four other names ; 'and, notwithstanding the singularity of his appearance, which nobody, who had once seen him, could easily forget, persisted on every oc casion on which he was apprehended, that he never was pulled up at a police-office before. Alderman Ginns—Well, prisoner, do you hear this account of yourself ? Prisoner—l do, my Lord ; but I never set my eyes upon the gentleman before. A policeman stated that the prisoner had been tried at the Old Bailey, and had been imprisoned for two years, and as soon as he came out he began to smash again. Prisoner—Not at all, young fellow—you quite mistake, l young man, and no mistake. Mr. Powell here read from a pocket-book the several names by which the prisoner had been designated, and said, " Now what advantage can you propose to yourself from going on with this sort of humbug ?' Prisoner—l don't mean to hurt your feelings, Sir, but you know we are all liable to mistakes. I ain't so par ticular but you might find somebody here and there like me. Mr. Powell—Well, if you are not the person I mean you can bare your arm, and show us that the picture of a brig and the letters W.M. are not there in gunpowder. Here the prisoner smiled, and said, " Why to be sure I have a few marks here and there about me as chance would have it." Mr. PowELL—Just let us see whether I am not right. Show your right arm. Prisoner—Can't see there's any reason for to expose my flesh.—(Laughter.) Mr. POWELL—I think we shall be able to send you away this time. You have been too long here. Prisoner—Why I'm blest if you won't say by and by that I shall be known across the vater. You gives a fellow no chance.—Committed. BOW-STREET. William Etridge, a cab driver, No. 792, was charged with exacting from Sergeant Thompson, of the F division of police, more than his legal fare. The complainant stated that about nine o'clock in the evening of the 31st of December he was on duty in the Strand, when he saw two well-dressed young men, whom he recognised as members of the swell mob fraternity, get into an omnibus nearly opposite the Bed Lion public-house. He immediately called the defendant off the stand, and witness and another officer having got into the defendant's cab, directed him to follow the omnibus, keeping close behind it. The defendant did so, but they had not proceeded more than two hundred yards before witness saw the two men whom he was in pursuit of get out of the omnibus and run up a court. Witness called on the defendant to stop, and havins got out of the cab, offered the defendant eightpence as his fare, which, however, he refused to take, accompanying the refusal by the remark that no gentleman ever gave a cabman less than one shilling, however short the distance he might be driven. While witness was arguing the matter with the defendant, the two swell-mob men got clear off. The defendant, in answer to the charge, said that he considered he was entitled to the sum he had demanded of the complainant, because at his request he had•driven so fast after the omnibus as to render himself liable to a charge of furious driving. Mr. TwyFonD said that the commission of that offence did not justify the commission of another—viz., extort ing more than his fare. He then fined the defendant 7s. and costs, and in default of payment, committed him to the House of Correction for one week. Samuel Rogers, a lad about 'l6 years of age, was charged by a policeman with having trundled an iron hoop in Holborn, to the great danger of persons who were passing. A very serious accident was occasioned on Thursday by similar conduct on the part of a boy, in consequence of which the police received strict injunc tions to take all future offenders into custody. Mr. TWYFORD said he had just read an account of the accident, and the comments in the papers, blaming the police for not doing their duty ;- but it was one of those cases in which both the police and the Magistrates felt a great difficulty in interfering. If they did not punish the offenders, they were charged with neglecting their duty ; and if they did punish them, an outcry was raised about sending a boy to prison for trundling a hoop. If the police contented themselves with taking the boys' hoops from them, they would very probably be told that they had been guilty of felony. In the present case, if he fined the prisoner even in a low penalty, the probability was that he had not the money . to pay it. He must consequently be committed to prison in default, and thus for a mere boyish offence be punished as if he had been guilty of a crime. He hoped that if the police cautioned boys so offending, and told them of the consequences, that the dangerous nuisance would be abated, At all events, as the present case was the first that had been brought before him, he would dis charge the prisoner, who, however, must understand that if he repeated the offence, he would inevitably be sent to prison. The worthy Magistrate directed the policeman to detain the hoop. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Sir Thomas Sibley appeared before Mr. HARDWICK, to charge Mr. Wyatt, of Suffolk-street, Pall-mall, with an assault. Sir Thomas stated that a few days ago he had engaged apartments in the defendant's house. He had given the complainant unexceptionable references, but the previous evening, to his great surprise, he had been summarily ejected from the house, and struck into the bargain. This was the assault he complained of. Mr. 'Wyatt, in reply, told the Magistrate that Sir Thomas had taken apartments in his house on the repre sentation that he was a single man, and also a member of the Reform Club, Pall-mall. The complainant's refer ence having been suitable, defendant admitted him as a lodger ; but on the very first day the Baronet bega to display his eccentricities, for he ordered a dinner for half a dozen guests ; but the Baronet was the only one who appeared to have been invited. On the very same night the complainant brought a prostitute into his house, and on defendant remonstrating the Baronet declared his de termination to do as he liked in his own apartments. De fendant immediately demanded the key of the place, inti mating, at the same time, his determination to divest the Baronet of his character of lodger. The Baronet, instead of giving up the key, struck him with a cane which he carried, and then went out of the house ; defendant fol lowed and again demanded the key, but was again struck, and he then returned the blow. _ The complainant admitted that he did strike the de fendant, but he thought the defendant richly deserved it. The defendant said the Baronet went up stairs into his apartments, and he shortly afterwards followed and knocked at the door to speak to the Baronet on the snbject of his proceedings. The Baronet told him to come in, and when he got into the room he found his lodger in a state of nudity before the looking-glass. Complainant—Why did you come into the room, fellow ? Defendant—Because you desired me to do so. I did not expect to find you naked. Complainant —You lie. Mr. lIARDwwx. required the complainant to restrain his temper. Sir Thomas—So I will if I can ; but it is not to be expected that I, a Baronet, and a Member of the Re form Club, can patiently listen to such lies. Mr. HARDWICK said the complainant had made his statement, and the defendant must be allowed to make his. Sir Thomas—Pooh ! pooh ! You do not know any thing about it. What occasion could I, a gentleman and a Baronet, have to strike this person. Mr. llAnnwicK, with much forbearance, told the de fendant he must not be allowed to interfere with the re gular course of proceeding. A witness was called, who proved that the defendant was struck by the complainant before he gave the blow complained of. Mr. HARDWICK, after a patient hearing of the evi dence on both sides, dismissed the case. Sir Thomas left the Court abruptly, and then Mr. Wyatt observed to the Magistrate that Sir Thomas, in his opinion, was unfit to be at large. Mr. HARDIN-lex agreed in this, and added that the sooner the friends of the gentleman looked after him the better. John Agar was charged by Miss Alexander with pass ing two counterfeit crown pieces on her under these novel circumstances : Miss Alexander said she kept a cigar shop in Carlton street, Regent-street. Early the previous evening the defendant came into- the shop. and ordering a shilling's . worth of cigars, threw down a bad crown piece and re ceived the change. A few hours after this he entered the shop again, had another shilling's worth of cigars, and paid fbr them with another bad crown piece. —Com plainant after this having occasion for some small change, sent a servant with one of the crown pieces, and then the discovery was made that it was bad, and also the crown piece taken under similar circumstances. About eleven o'clock the same evening the pristhier came a third time to the shop and asked for three cigars, at the same time tendering a good shilling. Complainant at once taxed him with the fraud, and caused him to be detained until a policeman took him into custody. Mr. HARDWICK said the case was so exceedingly clear that he should hold the prisoner in custody, and cause information to be given to the Solicitor of the Mint, when he came, of the occurrence. Inspector Frond said there was another charge against the prisoner for assaulting and escaping from the constable. The prisoner was then locked up. CLERKENWELL. - - STARRING THE GLAZE.—A fellow . named Daly wa s charged with breaking the window of Mrs. West, a fur rier, with intent tocommit a felony. A sergeant of police, No. 12 N, stated that, between 9 and 10 o'clock on Friday night, he' saw the prisoner and another man in close conversation against the pro secutrix's shop, and believing them to be thieves he watched, and. distinctly saw the prisoner crack a square of glassw Thinking they had made a hole into the shop, and had had time to remove some of the valuable pro perty in the window, he rushed upon them, and, after a powerful resistance, secured the accused. Mr. COMBE inquired if any of the property was miss ing ?—The prosecut r i x rep li e d i n the negative. Mr. COMBE—Could they have removed the goods through a broken window ? Prosecutrix—Very easily. They could have cleared away nearly everything in the window. Mr. COMBE asked the prisoner if he wished to make any defence? Prisoner (pretending. to cry)—l'm a werry innocent young man, yer Worship, and what they have stated ague me is all gammon. Mr. ComnE---It's too bad, isn't it ? Prisoner—Yes, my Lord ; you can see through it, and now I'm satisfied it won't do. Justice is all I want. _ Mr. Co3lnE—And you shall have it, too.—(Laughter:) Prisoner—Worry well thee. Now, yer Worship, this is the truth, s'help me —. I seed, as I was passing that ere good woman's window, a poor little lad shivering with cold, and I said to him, " My covey, you looks hard up—ain't it werry cold?" " Yes," he says ; and just as I was going to ax him to have a bit of grub, the,peeler comes up and grabs me.—(Roars of laughter.) Mr. CONBE told him he appeared to be too mining to be at large ; and' again assuring him he - should have justice, remanded him. • PRICES OF CANAL,oIoCK,ASSUR ANCE COMPANY SHARIs:F.-', &c. &c. &c.
