In One very handsome Volume, embellished with 133 Cuts, price only 45. 6d. cloth, boards, "DETER PARLEY'S TALES ABOUT the SUN, MOON, and STARS; also the late Comet : a New and Improved Edition, with great Additions. " In the evening of a long toilsome life, if a man were to be obliged solemnly to declare what, without any exception, has been the most lovely thing which, on the surface of this earth, it has been his good fortune to witness, I conceive that, with out hesitation, he might reply, The mind of a young . child.' "We observe with what delight a child beholds light—co lours—flowers—fruit, and every new object that meets his eye; and we all know, that (before his judgment be permitted to in terfere) for many years he feels—or rather suffers —a thirst which is almost insatiable. " He desires, and very naturally desires, to know what the Moon is ?—What are the Stars ? Where the rain, wind, and frost, come from ?—With innocent simplicity, he asks, what becomes of the light of a candle, when it is blow out ? Any story, or any history, he greedily devours."

GLOBE.—The evidences of a systematic organisa tion of the Chartists, kept up for the purpose of aid ing and assisting the Tories in their attempts to dis turb public meetings, and to annoy Liberal candidates and voters at elections, have been too abundant and conclusive to admit of successful resistance, or even of reasonable doubt. We have frequently taken oc casion to refer to the subject, as a striking illus tration of the destitution of principle on the part of the Tories, and of the besotted igno rance and desperate infatuation of the Chartists, in allowing themselves to be made the tools of those who engaged them to perform the " brickbat-and bludgeon ' part of their opposition to the Whigs, in Parliamentary election contests, and for raising the in cessant noise, uproar, and other species of annoyance, by which th e y have interrupted, and, in many places, dispersed meetings of the Liberal party called to petition Parliament against the Corn-laws, or any other grievance affecting the general interests of the community. Those who recollect the detachments of Chartists from Carlisle, who were notoriously billetted at public houses en gaged by the Tory Committee at the Cockermouth Election ; the services rendered by those worthies at the hustings, in the way of hurling stones and wield ing bludgeons, to the personal injury of many of the electors in Mr.i Horsman's interest ; and the same sort of active support given to the Tory party at Nottingham, Sunderland, Leicester, Norwich, Southampton, and many other strongly con tested elections these, with the occasional disclosures of the delicate business transactions between the aristocratic Tories and those whom they are wont to contemptuously designate the "swinish multitude" and the " unwashed artizans," have left no room for doubt as to the employment of the Char tists by the Tories in such services. Awkward alter cations between the blinded dupes and the more crafty agents, respecting the distribution of the funds entrusted to their hands as the wages of violence, have terminated in open rupture : thus the public has been made acquainted with matters which were never meant to be known beyond the walls of the com mittee-rooms. It remained, however, for the Chartist worthies of Leicester to supply the most ample and almost astounding evidence against their Tory subor ners and accomplices. The Leicester Chartists have split among themselves. A dispute has arisen respect ing the monies received by certain of their leaders from the Leicester and Nottingham Tories, for the various servi c e s th e y were emp l oye d t o render to the Tory party in the borough and county elections ; and a meeting of the fraternity has been held for the pur pose of hearing the criminations and recriminations of the accusers and accused. STANDARD.—The principle of Sir Robert Peel's proposition for a modification of the Corn-laws has been approved of in the House of Commons by a triumphant majority—by a majority greater than has for nine years divided on any disputed ques tion. This is well known to every being in the United Kingdom. Nevertheless a second de bate has been got up on the same disputed question; it has already consumed four days, was again adj ourned last night, and may last one cannot guess how many days more ; for as the debate was wholly useless at its commencement for any prac tical purpose, the customary elements of calculation, an estimate of the sense of decency, and of what is due to the public service, here must wholly fail one. An uumeaning, and necessarily unprofitable discussion, may be continued indefinitely, as it must have begun in defiance of all considerations of decency, or of care for the public interests; such a debate threatens to be without end in every sense of the phrase. The defence of such directly unprofitable discussions, sometimes advanced, namely, that though hopeless of convincing the Parliament, they may assist in in structing the public, cannot be employed by those who originate and protract, in such a wearisome manner, the debate over which the House of Com mons is now dozing. The Corn-laws have been thirty years under discussion. For the last year the quiet of the country has been disturbed by hired lecturers, sent to howl in every direction • and with the effect, we may rema r k by th e way, Of reducing ihe number of Anti-Corn-law petitioners, from 1,300,000, to less than a third of the number, a fact noted by Mr. Benett last night. What more, then, can the public learn upon the subject from Mr. Villiers, Messrs. O'Connell, Mr. Patrick Stewart, Dr. Bowrilig, and Mr. Milner Gibson ? Why, there is no one accustomed to attend to such matters—and none others will read the reported debates—who could not write off-hand the speech of each of these persons, faithfully presenting all its figures, and all its arguments, a n d a ll e l se —except ing only the false English and bad grammar. Or will the people be made wiser by Lord Duncan's lavish drafts upon " his satchel of school books ?" If it is suggested that the Conservatives, who squander truth and good sense in reply to the worn out common place fallacies of the Leaguers, are equally culpable as respects the prolongation of this tedious waste of the public time, the answer to such complaint i s , fi rs t, that they did not begin the nuisance; secondly, that they are by no means as numerous or prolix as the parties to whom they are compelled to reply ; for, thirdly, falsehood must be met by truth as often as falsehood is put forward, lest falsehood, as unanswer able, pass upon the thoughtless for truth. COURIER..—The "Moderate and Constitutional" party in the Church of Scotland have submitted a " memorial to her Majesty's Government," of which a copy has reached us. We are peculiarly struck— as we have no doubt her Majesty's Ministers will be—with the contrast which this most im portant document displays with the " statement" and " memorials" presented by the Non-Intrusion party in the Kirk, so far as plain simplicity of purpose and straightforward marching towards thp' purpose are concerned. There is no mystificat;- 0 this " memorial." It a vowe dl y l ays down ti n in . ' ple, that when a q ues ti on o f j ur i s di ct i on iep - rinc - the Civil and Ec c l es i as ti ca l Courts arises between 'of Scotland, it be cation between th e t wo longs to the form er t o d ec id e i" The line of clemar- Kirk is most c,l: " moznori: 4 l , , e parties .- now dividing th e early marked out, and "no mistake can ey .s . t. , " While the majority," says this "gave to both the Civil and Ecclesiasti cal QOurts, each for themselves, the power of fixing what 'is Civil and what is Ecclesiastical, the minority ascribe to the Supreme Civil Courts alone power to determine all questions of competing jurisdiction." This con cession, according to the dominant faction in the Kirk, is a surrender of the " spiritual independence" of the Church—" high treason," according to some of the more fiery spirits, "against her great and Divine head!" It now remains with Sir Robert Peel to adopt or reject the principle, as laid down by the ma jority of the Assembly calling itself " The Church.' _ K. O PRUDENT MEN.—Which is best ?

WOLVERHAMPTON, TUESDAY.—A most important meeting was held here yesterday, first at the Public Office, and then by adjournment at St. James's-square. The arrival of the majority of 123 in favour of Peel's sliding scale decided the people at once as to their future course, and the result has been, that from this town, the centre of a most important district, one universal shout for an extension of the Suffrage has gone forth, followed by a declaration of want of confi dence in Peel and his colleagues. On Saturday the walls of the town were covered by violent . placards, and a large body of Chartists came in from 12iIston and other places, in expecta tion of a reconciliation with their employers, and in this they were not disappointed. They were met by the most respect. able men in the town in a spirit of- conciliation, and the result was, that both parties shook hands, and vowed the removal from power of the man whom all shades of Reformers denounce as utterly unworthy to fill the office of Prime Minister. At eleven o'clock, the appointed hour, the Public Office was crowded, arid the greatest interest seemed to be felt by all pre. sent. A few minutes before the time a working man called out for the chair to be taken by a working man, upon which JOSEPH WALKER, Esq. then moved Mr. Jeremiah Wynn to the chair; the Rev. W. STOKES seconded the motion; which was put and carried unanimously : The building new became so intolerable from the pressure, that the immense concourse moved to St. James's-square, where a temporary hustings was prepared, and around which several thousands took their stand, amidst torrents of rain, with as much composure as if it was a midsummer day. The CHAIRMAN read the requisition calling the meeting, signed by upwards of 300 gentlemen of the town. He declared most positively he had never known the people in such an awful condition. He had visited one district with the clergyman and others, in order to find out the most deserving objects of charity, and he never beheld such scenes as he had witnessed. They met one lad who had been without food for two days ; another person had only had a few potatoes to keep body and soul toge ther • and they found another boy w h o was actua ll y p i c ki ng up the Offal in the street to support nature.—(Shame, shame !) The first day they relieved 300, the second day 600 most wretched objects. They found in that one district 700 indi viduals who begged as if they were begging for their life, to be permitted to receive the small allowance of bread and potatoes which their charitable friends enabled them to give. The time had now arrived for the people to look to themselves. JOSEPH WALKER, Esq., then moved the following resolu tion That the distress und er w hi c h t h e peop l e o f t hi s town and ' ‘ di-st‘rict are now, and have b een f or so l ong su ff er i ng , are se those laws which re s t r i c t t h e i mportat i on o f food— thateau t d he by Ministerial proposal for the amendment of these laws adds insult to injury by its mockery of relief—that the certainty of such amendment being carried by the majority of the Mem bers of the present House of Commons, is proof' of the neces sity of putting au end to these and other evils of class legisla tion, by such extension of the franchise as shall secure to all ranks of the people that full and free representation as defined in the People's Charter,' to which, on the principles of the Constitution, they are entitled." The reading of the resolution was received with the most tremendous cheering, after which Mr. WALKER addressed the meeting '‘at great length and ability upon the well-known injurious effects of the Corn-laws, and the gross insult offered to the country by the sliding jug glery of the Tamworth doctor, - Mr. Moncs seconded the resolution, and expressed his firm conviction that they would now roll up such a moral force in the country as would remove Peel in a few weeks. They would allow him six weeks to make up his account and be off.— ( Cheers.) They had beeen told that it was the naughty Chartists who had put Peel into power. Very well—be it so; and then what followed ? Why, that the naughty Chartists, with the aid of the middle classes, would hurl him out again.— (Cheers.) The Chartists did not like Peel, and from that day they would prove it.—( Renewed cheers.) They had now raised the standard of the suffrage, and around it they would rally such a combinatio , as would drive Peel and his colleagues from power ; upon that, ' hey were decided.—( Hear. ) The resolution was put and carried, with great cheering. HENRY WALKER, Esq., moved the second resolution. The aristocracy had seen millions of hunian beings reduced to starva tion by bad laws; but they would not alter them. It was in vain, therefore, to petition them again. They had closed their hearts against the poor, and they must go to the Queen. He moved the udoption of a petition to the Queen, with the addi tion of a paragraph in favour of the Suffrage. Mr. KETTELL seconded the adoption of the petition. After which another petition to her Majesty, to dismiss her present Ministers and grant an extension of the Suffrage, was agreed to amidst the most tremendous cheering. After which the meet ing broke up. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) BOLTON, TUESDAY. — We had a glorious meeting last night. It was held in the Temperance-hall, and there coul t not be less than three thousand people crammed within its walls, while suc cessive crowds were obliged to retire, unable to obtain admission. During the evening a slight attempt was made to produce discord, but it only served to bring out in relief, the overwhelming pre ponderance of good sense and good feeling by which it was im mediately crushed. The parties had come together, making the mutual confession that the one could do nothing without the other, and determined, if possible, to agree on a common ground of action. An excellent beginning thus has been made. At seven o'clock, the Mayor, T. Cullen, Esq., appeared in the hall, attended by J. Winder, Esq., town-clerk. On as cending the platform, he was received with loud cheers ; he was immediately followed by the Rev. W. Jones, Independent minister, Rev. W. Fraser, Baptist minister, C. J. Darbishire, Esq., county and borough magistrate, E. Ashworth. Esq., J. Dean, Esq., President of the Bolton Anti- Corn-law Association, H.

REPEAL OF THE CORN-LAWS. Tstsday a mesting of the inhabitants of the Western ha'f of :he Hundred of Brixton was held at the Spread Eagle Tavern, Wandsworth, to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament for a repeal of the Corn-laws, and for an extension of the suffrage. The meeting was very nume• rously attended. Prout, Esq., was called to the chair. The Cirare MAN said the subject on which they had met was of a two-fold character, namely, the bread tax and the franchise.—( Hear, hear.) The period had arrived when the working man could now understand both questions.-- (Hear, hear.) With respect to the bread tax, it was clearly shown that for every shilling expended by the working man for bread, fourpenee or tivepenee went back to the Government in the shape of taxation.—( Hear.) The great object of the meet ing then was to see what steps should be taken to get rid of the bread tax.—( Hear.) It was calculated that during 1835, 16,000,000 guar ers of corn had been cor.strmed in this coun try, and the result was, that there was a difference in the price of bread of 25,000,000/. Of this sum the working man paid a moiety, and the fact was, that the working classes paid 12.000,0001. of this difference.—( Hear, hear.) It was said that the amount of wages depended on the price of food ; this, however, was a fallacy, and if they wanted any proof on this point, let them look to the United States, where wages were extremely high, and where the price of food was extremely low. The truth was, the amount of wages depended on the amount of 'work to be done, and the number of labourers that were ready to perform that work.— ( Hear, hear.) Anything that was calculated to interfere with the employment of capital was prejudicial to the interests of the community, and the effect of the Corn-laws was to in terfere with the profitable employment of capital. The result was that the wages "of of the labourer were abridged, and his comforts destroyed.—tifear, h'ear.) The Chairman then ad verted to the price of bread in Paris and in London, and showea that while tenpenee was paid for a quartern loaf in London it could be had for sixpence in Paris.—( Hear, hear. ) Wily should not the working man be able to get his loaf as cheap here as at Paris?—( Hear, hear.) In connection with this question there was also that of the extension of the Suf frage. This was an important consideration when they found that there was a majority of 123 landowners, who said that the people of this country should be unnecessarily taxed to support their luxury.--( Hear, hear.) The t axation o f t hi s country—that is, the t a x es iat pressed on the industrious classes—was immense, and the people ought to call for a diminution of the Excise and Customs duties to the extent of 20,000,000/.--( Hear, hear.) He would also suggest that a heavier land-tax ought to be imposed, for then property that ought justly to contribute to the wants of the State would be made to bear its fair proportion in respect to those wants.— ( Hear.) He now came to the question of the suffrage, and here he must say that they never could expect to have justice done to them until they had a further reform of the House of Commons.—( Loud cheers.) They ought not to look at this or that particular course of reformation—they ought to go at once to the root of the evil, and apply for Universal Suffrage and Vote by Ballot.—( Cheers.) Let them not quarrel about their obtaining all the points adverted to in the Charter; let them get what good they could. He was in heart and feeling a Chartist; but he could not expect to obtain everything that the Charter demanded for 30 or 40 years.—( Hear.) Still they might by firm and energetic action obtain many reforms ; and if they succeeded in obtaining some of the positions called for by the Charter, they would do much good.—( Hear.) He called upon them to act with energy and decision, but above all things to be united. If they were so, they might depend upon it they must succeed —( Applause. ) Dr. LONGSTAFF then came forward to move the first re solution, and in doing so observed, that about twelve months since they met in that room on this very question, and he did not then think that they would again have to denounce the sliding scale, for he thought that that principle would have been de stroyed for ever.—( Hear.) It seemed, however, that he was mistaken, for Dr. Peel, who refused to say what he would do until he had received his tee—(A laugh)—had, since his re turn to power, prescribed for his patients the very same dose that they had been swallowing for years.—( Hear, and a laugh. ) It was true that the colour of the mixture had been changed from red to brown—( A laugh)—but its essential attributes were the same. What the people wanted was good bread pills—(A laugh)—and he trusted that they would not cease importuning the Doctor until they got what they wanted to improve their health, and strength, and their constitution.__( Hear.) The question was not now whether they shou:d have a fixed duty or a sliding scale, but whether they should have unsaxed bread ?—( Hear.) The simple question was this —were the bulk of the people to be taxed for the mere sake of keeping the land owners in their present station and power?—(Hear, hear.) He concurred that the fair way of settling this question was by taxing property, for that was the only legitimate source from which taxation could be derived. -- ( Hear.) Why should the man who only held five acres of land be taxed equal to the holder of one hundred acres ?—( Hear.) But the reason why property was not fairly taxed was, because their legislators were the owners of the land; and this brought him to the consi deration of the question of the franchise, without an extension of which, so as to include Universal Suffrage, it would be impos sible that the wants and wishes of the people could be fairly re presented in the Commons' House of Parliament. The speaker then proposed the first resolution, which was to the effect, that the measure lately proposed to Parliament in reference to an alteration of the Corn• laws, was not calculated to alleviate the sufferings of the working classes, &c. Mr. Rovr seconded the resolution, which was unanimously agreed to. THAMES HAVEN DOCK AND RAILWAY COMPANY. The half-yearly General Meeting of the Proprietor, in this Company was held yesterday, at their offices, St. Mildred's Court, Poultry, for the purpose of receiving , the Report of the Directors, and a statement of the accounts from the Secretary. The meeting was called at twelve for one o'clock, but owing to so small a number of Shareholders being present, the business of the meet ing did not commence till half-past one o'clock. JAMES ESDAILE, Esq. took the Chair, and in doing- so said they were aware that that was the half-yearly Meet ing of the Proprietors, and the Directors had drawn up a Report, in which they endeavaured to show the exact position of the Company at the present moment, toge ther with a statement of the financial affairs, which he trusted would be found satisfactory to the body of the Proprietors. He would only further observe that the Court of Directors were desirous of giving the fullest information respecting the Company in their power, and they would be most happy to answer any questions to the best of their ability. In the usual course of business he would call on the Secretary to read the Report. The SECRETARY then read the Report of the Directors, which was very long, and which commenced by regret ing, that at the last general meeting, a sufficient number of Proprietors had not assembled to constitute a meeting. It then went on to state that the Directors were desirous of preventing the Shareholders from transferring their shares to incompetent persons, and they had therefore issued an immediate call upon the shares so that the burden might fall on all alike ; they regretted to state, however, that 260 shares had been transferred before it was in their power to prevent it. With respect to the estimated revenue to be derived from the anticipated traffic, the Directors were aware that the aggregate formed a sum equal in amount to the entire cost of constructing the railway, or in other words, the annual gross receipts to be derived from the railway, would equal the capital, to be expended in form ing it, a statement in itself so startling and so unusual, that the Directors were aware it required some knowledge of the facts and details to be assured of its accuracy, but which, when inquired into, would be borne entirely out, and the Directors believed that the construction of a tide-dock, giving such facility and convenience, would b r i ng t o it a traffic equal to the ability of the Railway to accommodate ; and they grounded this belief on the large population of the metropolis and its environs, on the large moving population on the river, on the great advantages their Dock and Railway would give, and also, and very much in consequence of the low fares, which, it would be ob served, they had named for the conveyance of both pas sengers and goods, the . whole distance of 27 miles, from Thames Haven to London; 'and they would draw at tention to the fact, that itt Belgium in ten months of 1838, from the very low fares, upwards of 2,000,000 persons travelled on the railways, the whole population of the kingdom not exceeding 4,000,000. The Report concluded by stating that Messrs. Ernest Vaux, James Esdaile, and Richard Baker Wingfield were to go out of the direction by rotation, but, being eligible, offered themselves for re-election. The SECRETARY then read a statement of the accounts, from which it appeared that the cash in hand amounted to 1,8461. 10s. sd. The Report was received, and adopted. The three Directors were then re-elected. Sir - STEPHENS wished to ask the Secretary if any reference had been made at the Meeting of the Proprietors of the Eastern Counties Railway on Tuesday to this Company, and whether they intended to bring the subject before the Board of Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway ? The SECRETARY said the subject had not been men tioned on Tuesday, but that the Eastern Counties Railway took the most lively interest in the affairs of the Thames Haven Company ; and the subject, he felt assured, would re2eive their early consideration. The Secretary then moved a resolution, to the effect that those Shareholders, wishing to leave the Company, should transfer their shares to the office, first paying up the calls upon them, which resolution was carried: A resolution was then passed, that all the forfeited shares sold from this date should be sold at 2/. 10s. less than the original cost, that sum having been paid upon them by the original holders. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the Meeting separated. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) We are sorry to say that we cannot report the slightest improvement in business this week. On the c ntrary, although the production both of goods and yarn has been very greatly diminished, it still exceeds the demand, even at the wretched prices now prevalent. Many articles have been sold this week at lower prices than were ever before known ; and all this, we re gret to add, is without the slightest prospect of amendment from any quarter, until a decline in the price of food shall enable the working classes of this country to consume the usual amount of manufactured commodities. We. believe, indeed, that some little 'Mr. AITKEN then proceeded to propose the second resolution, and said that the village of Wandsworth was a proof of the in jurious tendency of the Corn-laws. In 1822 that village was in a flourishing state from its manufactures, but now it had scarcely any. In 1822 there were 13,000 persons employed in the manufacture of printed calicoes in Wandsworth, and 3,0001. a-week were paid to them. What was the state of the case now ? Why the establishments were all closed, and the work men were all gone.—( Hear, hear.) He contended that these distressing results arose from the tax upon food. He was a strenuous advocate for an extension ef the suffrage. He begged to conclude by proposing the following resolution : is of op i n i on that no measure short of‘tliTeheantavrehialebotlhiitsionitineoeftnhge Corn and Provision-laws can ef fectually relieve the country from its present difficulties, yet considers it useless to petition the House of Commons on the subject, as it has no hope of obtaining justice from Parliament as it is at present constituted ; and in confoimity with these views this meeting pledges itself to commence the most active and energetic constitutional agitation to effect the total and immediate repeal of all taxes on food, and for the complete and thorough reformation of the Commons' House of Parliament." The resolution was agreed to. It was subsequently resolved, that the resolutions should be published in the Morning Advertiser, the Morning Chronicle. the Times, and The Sun newspapers. Th e meeting, which was most unanimous throughout, then separated. GREAT OUT - DOOR - MEETING IN MANCHESTER. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY. - -011 C of the largest out-door as. semblages held in Manchester within the last ten years, took place yesterday evening, in Stevenson's-square. It was the adjourned meeting from that held in the same place on Tuesday last, and was connected with the Town-hall meeting in the morning of the same day. The time fixed for commencing the proceedings was six o clock, and it was at one time con templated to illuminate the meeting by torches ; but that plan was rendered unnecessary by the great orb of night shining brilliantly on the assemblage. The square, which is of great extent, was crowded ere the opening of the meeting., and in an hour afterwards not fewer than seven thousand men were present, all decent and orderly in their behaviour, and appear ing deeply impressed with the moral power that they were called upon to exercise. JOHN BROOKS, Esq. (late Boroughreeve of Manchester), was called to the chair, who pointed out the evils which Tory policy would inflict on the country. Counsellor Mooue exhorted the people to exert the moral power they possessed in effectuatin g their own political salvation. Mr. PRENTICE (of the Manchester Times) followed, and recommended the people to work in unity for eitension of the Suffrage, and the repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. G. THOMPSON next spoke for nearly an hour, and was listened to with deep attention. He adverted to the majority which Sir Robert Peel had obtained, and remarked that his triumph would be short-lived. The people, the middle and the lower classes, were now becoming united, and when that union was effected, the power of Toryism and aristocracy would ter minate. F or him se lf, h e a d vocate d the People' s Charter, which was a righteous instrument, and would, did he possess the power, call that moment into political existence every man whom he saw before him. He had never used his vote yet, because he had never yet seen the man on whom be could rely. He wished it to go forth, that henceforward the power and influence of the Whigs were gone. They had truckled to their enemies when in power, and now the people had justly deserted them. Neither in Manchester, at th e T ow n-hall, nor i n th e H ouse o f Commons, would the Whi gs h ave power. As a p o liti ca l p ar ty they were extinct. He called upon the people to be united and peaceable, and then the time of their deliverance was at hand. in He exhorted them to be just, to fear not, and to look only to the aristocracy for holding nth. vrilay'namely,: RICHARD GARDNER, Esq., followed.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKEL, MONDAY, FEB. 21. The market to-day has been quite as dull as that of the preceding Monday. Those who have been obliged to sell, have obtained extremely low prices for their goods. In the wool market there has been very little doing ; but prices remain firm. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, FEB. 22.—This was cer tainly the most discouraging market-day ever known in this town, bad as they have been of late. Buyers were few and spiritless, and the purchases few even at ruinous prices. In the warehouses„perhaps, business is not quite so wretched ; but cven.there the symptoms are those of stagnation and ruin. As to prices, they are nominal and accidental; on the average ruinous to the manufacturers. MONEY MARKET Liul CITY NEWS. PROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF TESTERDAY. TIMES. —The premium on gold at Paris is 7 per which at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 324, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 55, it follows that gold is 0.90 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4304 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101/d. per ounce, for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 74, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 94, 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 1084 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex change is 1.33 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 abovenamed difference. THE LATE EXPLOSION AT HOUNSLOW. CORONER'S INQUEST ON THE BODIES. On Tuesday, at 12 o'clock, Mr. Wakley, M.P., and a jury of inhabitants of the town of Hounslow, assembled in a room at the offices attached to the extensive powder mills belonging to Messrs. C. B. Curtis and Harvey, situate on Hounslow-heath, to investigate the circumstances attending the deaths of Henry Finch, aged 45 ; William Worlman, aged 35 ; and Alfred Malthouse, aged 27 ; three of the tive unfortunate persons who were blown up by an explosion at one of the above mills on the morning of Saturday last. The evidence, given by James Mathewson, engineer, William Major, John Hannis, and John Johnson, workmen in the employ of Messrs. Curtis and Harvey, at the mill, went to show that the mill in which the explosion took place, was situate in that part of the works nearest the river Colne, and was what is termed a corning mill, in which the two deceased, Finch and Worlman, worked. The de ceased Malthouse, and the two other men injured, Peter Thomas and William Colvin, worked in an adjoining place. The men went to their work as usual in the mill, on Saturday morning, and shortly after ten o'clock the whole of the work men were alarmed at an explosion resembling an earthquake. On running out, the corning -mill was discovered to have been blown to atom s , an d the bodies of Finch and Worlman were found quite lifeless, and Malthouse, Colvin and Thomas not far from the same spot, also apparently dead. Mr. Frogley, surgeon, of Hounslow, had a messenger despatched for him, and he promptly attended, and rendered assistance to the three survivors. Malthouse, however, died of his injuries on Sunday. It further appeared that the employment of the deceased men in the mill, was o f t h at nature w hi c h was not likel to produce sparks, or cause thereby ignition. At the time of the explosion, there was about 1,200 or 1,300 Ib3. of powder in the mill. The coroner and jury strictly interrogated the witnesses, as to whether there had been on any previous occasion, any neglect on the part of the deceased men, but all that could be elicited was, that th e greatest care and precaution was invariably taken. No one could account for the occurrence, bnt it is generally imagined that a spark might have been produced from the friction of the machinery used in corning the powder, and thus ignited it. After some discussion. the jury returned a verdict, " that the deceased persons came by their deaths from the acci dental explosion of a powder mill belonging to Messrs. Curtls and Harvey." Colvin and Thorns, still lie in a bad state, but hopes are entertained of their ultimate recovery. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANC'EI?Y, Feb. 23. PEYTON V. lit GMES. The SOLICITOtt•GEYER&L replied to-day ill this case at great length, and The LORD CHANCELLOR reserved his judgment. ROLLS' COURT, Feb. 23. WOMAN V. ANDREWS. Lord LLNGDALE gave judgment this morning in this case, the facts of which have already appeared in The Sun To the bill filed by the plaintiff in the cause, the defendants had set up a plea to the effect, that the pLintiff haring become bankrupt and obtained his certificate, had a second time become bankrupt, and had not, as they were informed and believed, paid 15s. in the pound ; and therefore that he was not in a position entitling hint to make any claim agail: st the defendants, without making his assignees parties to the suit, which he had not done. It had been contended for the plaintiff that the words " they were informed and believed" in the plea were not sufficient. His Lord. was of opinion that these words were sufficient, and gave the parties leave to amend their bill. THE DEAN AND CHAPTER W.' ELY, V. BLISS. The plaintiff's in this cause had tiled a bill for the recovery of the tithes of a certain tract of land to which they claimed to be entitled. The defendants set up the plea of the statute of limitation, and the present question was whether that statute, namely, the 3el and 4th of Wm. IV., applied to the case. Mr. KINDERSLEY appeared in support of the plea; Mr. Psi's*. TON for the plaintifili. There were a'io several Junior counsel at either side. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Feb. 23. (Before Vice. Chancellor KNIUUT Baum) His Honour was engaged in hearing short causes of Hitle public interest. (Before Vice-Chancellor Wicium.) DYSON V. NORRIS. 1 His HoNova gave judgment in this cause: The plaintiff was the mortgagee of certain lands for securing payment to him of a sum, the principal of which now amounts to 9,350/. Part of his security consisted of a policy of insurance upon the life of the most. gager. The mortgager was the defendant, Thomas Brook Morris ; and the other defendants were parties who represented two gentle men, named Meadows Taylor and Henry Brown, who, according to the allegations in the bill, were formerly interested in the mortgage money, although the mortgage was made in the name of Thomas Brook Morris alone. The bill prayed that the policy might be sold, and the proceeds arising from the sale be applied in satisfaction of the mortgage debt. His Honour, after going through all the transit_ actions between the parties, said the plaintiff must take the usual decree of foreclosure, retaining the policy for what it might be worth COURT OF Q UEEN'S PENCE, Feb. 23. (Sittings at Nisi Prins at Guildhall.) BREEZE V. JARDINE AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a solicitor re siding in Wales, to recover damages from the defendant; Alr. Jardine, a w i ne merc h an t, and Beaumont and Bradley, two officers in the City police, for an ansault and false imprison.. ment, and for detaining certain property. Mr. Jervis and Mr. Ogle viva's .1 tor the plaintiff. From the evidence for the pros 'cut ion it appeared that the plaintiff and his friend Mr. Williams, the High Sheriff of Ale rionethshire, had been down to Bl ac k wa ll on t h e 27th of May last to eat white-bait, and returned to town in the evening by the railway. The defendant Jardine was in the same car riage with them, and plaintiff accused him of smoking a cigar. Mr. Jardine denied that he had been smoking; an altercation ensued, which ended in Mr. Jardine's being taken into cus tody, on the complaint of the plaintiff. On their arrival at the station in the Minories, Mr. Jardine was taken to the Tower police station, and charged with smoking. • The charge was taken, and the plaintiff was called upon as usual to give his name and address to appear, to support the charge. He refused to state either his name or address, although re peatedly required to do so, and Mr. Jardine desired that be should be detained until he hal done so. The other de fendants said that plaintiff had placed them in a most awk ward situation, and urged him to give his name and address. Plaintiff still refused to do, although, according to the testi mony of one of the witnesses, he said he said he objewed to give his name as a prosecutor, but would do so as a witness. He was then detained, but refusing when offered, to give bail, was ultimately conveyed to the Corrupter, and locked up for the night. When taken before the Lord Mayor the next day, Breeze was discharged, and after hearing the charge against Mr. 'Jardine the Lord Mayor discharged him also, as he had no jurisdiction in the case.. Before the defence was gone into, Lord DENstAN said that certainly there was some case to go to the Jury, although he thought it was not a case fur heavy damages, for the plaintiff had, in a great measure, brought what had happened to him on himself by his own absurd conduct. If the Jury took that view of the ease, perhaps if they were to state their opinion, it might save some time. '1 he Foreman of the Jury, after the lapse of not more than a minute, said, We find for the plaintiff, damages 20/. Lord DENMAN-00 if that is the case, gentlemen, we must hear the Learned Counsel for the defence. Mr. Jzavis protested against the counsel for the defence being heard. They had chosen to take the chance of a ver dict, and it was exceedingly irregular to let them enter into the defence now. Lord Darisra sr—The irregularity was mine. I thought if the jury agreed with nue in opinion we might have saved time. As it is, the case for the defence must be gone into. Mr. Hill, on the part of the defendant Bradley, Mi. Platt, on the part of the defendant Jardine, and Ur. Kelley on the part of the defendant Beaumont, respectively addressed the Jur y'. Por the defendant, Jardine, witne4sPs were examined, from whose testimony it appeared that Mr. Jardine had no cigars with him, and was not smoking previous to his entering the carriage in which plaintiff and Mr. Williams were ; that on his arrival in the Minories, when accused of loving been smok ing, he denied it, and that plait - vitt' insisted kin Jardine's being taken in charge. That the, carriage was examined by the rail way officers, and that it did not smell of tobacco. That de fendant, Beaumont, was sent for, and that at his request they all went to the station-house together, and that neither the drop,: nor the breath of Jardine smelled of tobacco. That when •!ar dine was brought to the station-house, plaintiff re:e s , , ,t t o give his name and address, although repeate...ily urged to do so, because he had given a person in charge; that plaintiff was very much excited, and knocked the pen out of the policeman's hand while the policeman was in the act of writing Mr. Williams's name as plaintiff's bail ; that plaintiff refused to allow Mr. Williams to give MI name and address, and that ultimately Beaumont gave Breeze in charge for re fusing. to give his name and address, after having given Jar dine into castody. It further appealed, that when, on float next morning, the policeman tendered to plaintiff his watch and money which had previously been taken from him, and requested him to sign the book, he refused to do so, s a yi ng the entry therein was n o t t rue , an d h e would not. sign it, and that as the policeman refused to restore the property with out his signing the book, Breeze replied, " Very well ; you. have brought a pretty hornet's nest, about your ears." Mr. JERVIS replied. Lord Dzwatart summed up, and observed that he consi dered the plaintiff acted a most obstinate and strange part, in refusing to give his name and address after having made a. charge, but no doubt he had suffered considerable injury fron t having been shut up for the night, and if they could in anyway make out that the infliction of that j imprisonment was a joint proceeding, ho would be entitled to recover compensation far it. With regard to character, although there hail been ens. siderable obstinacy on all sides, he LUIS tint• consider that any imputation rested on the charattbrs of any of the parties concerned. Verdict for the plaintiff, damages 151., and that the three defendants were putt trespassers during a portion of the time in question. Mr. D, W.

CONSISTORI' COURT, Feb 23. THE BRAINTREE CASE.--VELEY ANn JOSLIN, CHURCH. WARDENS, C. GOSLING. The present case came before the Court on the admission to• prove the libel, and the facts connected with it originated ire the decision of the Court of Exchequer Chamber, on the well known case of the Churchwardens of Braintree v. Burder. In that case the parishioners of the pa_ . rish of Braintree, in Essex, having refused to s na k e a rate to repair the parish church, a suit for substrattion of Church-rates was instituted against Mr. Burder, one of the parishioners of the said parish, by the churchwardens; but a writ of prohibition having been obtained from the Court of Queen's Bench, which was subsequently confirmed by the Court of Exchequer Chamber, the proceedings of the chullchwardeni Were declared to be in valid. 'The churchwardens thereupon called a vestry for the 13th of May 1841, when a rate to repair the church was again sought to be made, but which was again refused by a majority of the inhabitants. The vicar of the parish, the Rev. Bernard Scale, in consequence of that report, sought and obtained a decree under the seal of the Court, calling upon the churchwardens and parishioners to show cause why a monition sho.ilit not issue against lien', to compel them to take steps to repair the church. The pa rishioners not having appeared, the monition accordingly issued, and the churchwardens, in obedience to it, conve.ned a vestry on the 15th of July, 1611, at which it was pro pose to impose a church-rate of ta o shillings in the pound. o the proposition so made an amendment was proposed, and" carried by a majority of the parishioners, to the effect that the tax was unjust, and an interference with the religious freedom of the subject. The churchwardens then, of their own autho rity, made a rate of 2s. ; and Mr. Gosling, a party refusing, being cited to appear for his refusal to pay his assessment on. 231., a libel on his behalf was prayed for, and the arguments for its admission were now heard by the Court. Dr. ADDAMs, for the defendant, entered at great length on the judgment in the case of the Churchwardens against Border, delivered by Chief Justice Tindal in the Court of Exchequer Chamber. He contended that the rate made was bad, because a majority of the parishioners had voted against the rate, and that the votes of the majority were not lust, be cause they refused to submit to a rating. The case was quite distinct from that of a Corporation met to ele ct an officer, and some of them refusing to proceed to the election, in which case the votes would be void. The argument from analogy thrown out by the Learned Chief Justice was fanciful, because the one was a case of obligation, and the other one of privilege. As to how far the present was a Common Law obliga tion he would say one word ; he contended that „that was not the Court in which the rate ought to be enforced it it. were a common law obligation. It was the custom of England for the parishioners to repair the nave of the church, and not the chancel, which the parson was bound to repair. The Learned Advocate cited numerous cases, to s.h.ov that the parishioners were not bound to repair the whole of the church, and that therefore the rate must be bad. lle allowed that in one sense the making of the rate was one of Common Law obligation, not in the sense in which it was assumed to be so in the judg ment of Lord Chief JuVice Tindal.
