I cannot help taking that evening.—(Cheers.) this opportunity of saying—and it rejoices me to The meeting then separated. say it—that it is within my own recollec tion that education has advanced so rapidly in this country. It is still gradually progressing, though more gradually than in other countries. We ought to be grateful to those men who have given this subject an impetus by their exertions. There is the name of Clarkson—a name known to all; and although we differ in many points, I must say, and it must be allowed, that Lord Brougham was the man in our time who gave the great impetus to the advancement in educa tion.—(Hear, hear.) He gave the great powers of his mind to this subject, and I think it greatly owing to him the stride it has taken for the last fifteen or twenty years. I will not detain you any longer, further than to call on our worthy Secretary, Mr. Hart, to read the Report of the Institution for the past year.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. T. HART, jun., then read the Report, which detailed the progress of the Institution, and its beneficial results. Many of the pupils (adults) who, on their first admission to the school, could neither read nor write, were now able to read anything presented to them, and write a fair hand. Since the last Report, 106 additional scholars had been admitted into the female school. The Ladies' Committee had come to the deter mination of imparting other information besides that of reading, writing, andarithmetic, beneficial and desirable for all to be acquainted with. One hundred and forty-five men had attended the writing and other classes. Lectures had been delivered on various subjects. The Report con cluded with a beautiful and touching appeal to all present to contribute and assist in the desirable objects of the Institution. The Hon. Mr. BOUVERIE said he had been requested to move the following resolution : That the Report now read be received and printed for circulation under the direction of the Committee ; and that this meeting, regarding with pleasure the con tinued and growing usefulness of this Institution, would desire to express their gratitude to the Great Author of Benevolence for his distinguishing goodness to them selves; and feeling it a duty incumbent on them to impart to their destitute fellow creatures a portion of those bless lugs they have so liberally received, hereby pledge them selves to renewed exertions in this sphere of philanthro pic labour. It gave him great pleasure to move this reso lution. He was a stranger in that part of Lon don. He agreed with the Gallant Colonel in saying this was a most important subject ; it was one of the most important that could occupy the mind of a great and free people.—(Cheers.) It was not one which merely affected one portion or class, it was one which affected them all, great and poor, labourer and tradesman; nor did it affect the present generation only, it would affect the generation to come. There was a charge brought against them, but which he thought a most fallacious one, which was this, 4 c that those who are educated amongst the lower orders, will become conceited.and vain of their acquirements." Now he did not think so; it might be where there was but one man educated out of a number, as they all felt conceited when they possessed that which others did not; but this would not be the case if they educated all. The Rev. EBENEZER HALLIDAY seconded the resolution in a most eloquent speech, which was put and carried unanimously. DAVID WIRE, Esq., rose to propose the next resolution. It had been said that it was too late to debate the question of education, and that the arguments had been urged over and over again in favour of it, and that very little remained to be done but actually to educate the people. Ho believed that; but still he felt quite satisfied that they had there a great number of arguments that had never been touched upon. He thought he could see seventy or eighty living arguments in favour of the benefit of education. Ask any one in that room if they would like to go back to a state of profound ignorance. If there was one, let him see him. He thought that every one of them was convinced of the benefits of education, and had come there that night with a determi nation to advance its blessings amongst the poor and ignorant. Suppose they were on a Sabbath day to walk along the streets of that City, and go into a church or chapel, and they would there see an assembly of men, women, and children, some few very learned, others with only a por tion of learning, but all attentively engaged in the worship of the Creator ; they would there see the benefit of education—education combined with religion. But suppose, on the other hand, they. mere walkinc , in the week, and happened to come to a large building with very high walls— with strong doors, with something like chains, in dicating slavery, over it, and suppose they went in, they would see miserable men not allowed to walk, but for exercise. Let them contrast the two— the inhabitant of a prison_ and the occupant of a church or chapel, and what further argument need we bring before them to prove the blessings that result from the one, and the misery entailed upon the other ? He had great pleasure in pro posing the following resolution : • That this meeting, under a deep conviction of the pre sent disastrous character of the times, operating with peculiar severity upon the poor man, unhinging his mind, leaving him little else to contemplate during his unemployed hours, but misery unmitigated by hope, and daily accumulating distress, while they strongly sym pathise with his condition , are of opinion that institu tions like the prc - •sent are eminently calculated to exert a useful and beneficial influence, by furnishing the mind with suitable food for thought, and thus preventing time ingress of those influences which disgrace the cha racter and degrade the man. The Rev. J. CARLYLE, in seconding the resolu tion, said that had he had the framing of the reso lution, lie should have worded the last sentence differently. If that conveyed the meaning of the framer rightly, that the industrious and ne glected, the sadly and sinfully neglected poor, s hould have their minds diverted from their dis tress, sooner than second that resolution, he would say in sincerity he would put his right hand into the flames.—(Loud cheers.) No,they should teach them that they had natural rights and they ought to have power to exercise those rights, by which they might be raised from that state of degradation into which class legislation had brought them. They should teach them to feel and act as intelligent and immortal men. But would they teach them to obtain their rights by physical force—by violence ? Perish the thought. No, by some fair and constitu tional means, and by entirely acting with the spirit and genius of the Constitution.—(Hear.) lie did not doubt but the intention of the framer of time resolution was good, and he therefore had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. Mr. MAITLAND spoke to the resolution in a long and eloquent speech, and the resolution having rs been_put, was carr i e d un animously. The I Lev•E.PRI CE moved the next resolution — That the thanks of this meeting, be presented to W. M. Higgins, ltisq., by whose liberal co-operation, the Institution has been so greatly supported, and to those other gentlemen who. have kindly delivered Lectures ; also to those friend engaged in teaching, for their unre mit ted eXtrtions. Mr.. W. M. 'lmams returned thanks in an able .speech. The SECRETARY here announced that he had rece ived mil. ss. from Colonel Fox, M.P., which announcement was received with loud ch eers The Rev.

The schooner had a crew of eight persons, and was on a voyage from Ancona to London, with a cargo of wheat, which is considerably damaged. I have written to the Admiral at Malta, reporting the occurrence to him, and requesting, if the convenience of the service will admit of his doing so, that he would send a small cruiser to the spot, to embark the crew of the vessel, and convey them to Malta, and thus give them the option of entering her Majesty's service in the fleet.—l have, &c.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT.--AN EXTRAORDINARY CA SE.—Mrs. Fry, of Trafalgar-street, Walworth, was, on the 16th of April, admitted to Guy's Hospital as a patient, with a bad leg of five years' stand ing ' • it was nearly as hard as a b one , w ith n i ne u l cers, and frightfully swollen. Not deriving the least benefit from the treatment in the Hospital, she left it on the 16th of May ; and on the 18th of October she was brought to Professor Holloway's establishment in a cart, with her leg wrapped in a blanket. In five weeks it was radically cured by means of the Ointment and Pills, which are sold at the Proprietor's Establishment, 244, Strand, near Temple-bar, where advice may be had gratis ; and sold by every respectable chemist throughout the kingdom The Ointment will immediately cure Chilblains. DREADFUL MURDER.—We are again called upon to record another horrible murder, perpetrated in our city on Saturday last —that of a woman being mur dered by her husband; the facts are these:—A man named T. Toppen, an Irishman by birth, being at home at his lodgings, No. 89, Orange-street, on Saturday morning, on his wife Elizabeth attempting to pass from the room to the pump to get a pail of water, she was forbidden to go uut by her husband, who peremptorily refused to let her go for it. The woman having occasion for some water for domestic purposes, urged him to let her go, which led to some angry words, when the inhuman wretch seized a chair, and literally broke it to pieces over her head aid body. Not content with this brutal attack, he took up a broom and beat her with it until the handle was split into several pieces, all of which he then gathered up, and with the splinters stabbed her in several parts of her breast and body. The wretched woman for a mo ment then escaped from his grasp and from the injuries received, and threw herself on the bed ; but the inhuman monster, whose fiendish passion was not yet satiated, drew her from it, and inflicted several blows on her head and other parts of her body with a shoemaker's ham mer, and not yet content, got a knife and fork and in flicted other stabs on her person. The woman then at length again got away from him and threw herself on the bed, when the wretch laid down on the floor to await the arrival of his little son, a boy about twelve years of age, whose throat, he said, he intended to cut so soon as he, came in. During the whole of this horrible tragedy a woman named Kelly was lying in a very low state in the room, and was an eye-witness of the brutal conduct,—and about six o'clock, finding that the wretched woman had ceased to breathe, gave the alarm, and Justice Matsell, aided by two watchmen, took the monster into custody, and he was fully committed to prison. The Coroner yesterday held an inquest on the body, and the Jury rendered a verdict that the unfortunate woman, Elizabeth Toppen, came to her death from injuries received by blows, inflicted on her person by her husband, Thomas Toppen.—New. York Courier. STAGE-COACH ADVENTURES.—On the even ing of Thursday, the 13th, as the Gainsborough coach was proceeding to Lincoln, and had passed Tillbridge Inn, the wind blew off the hat of the coachman, who, indiscreetly resigning his hold of the reins that he might recover it, the horses set off and left him behind. There were no outside pas sengers, and only two inside; one of whom shortly after wards putting out his head, the door was forced open, and he fell and was left too. The horses proceeded without a driver until they arrived at the usual haltieg place, the Lion and Snake, above hill, where they stopped, having tra velled seven miles and turned four or five corners without any accident. The coach was then driven down hill to the Queen's Head, and a chaise was despatched in search of the coachman, who, it was expected, had fallen from the box, but who was met trudging homeward, safe and sound. There was a female inside the coach with the person that fell out ; she fortunately sat still, not know. ing otherwise than that the coachman was Lincoln Mocury, SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROXE EVENING RAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—We yesterday alluded to the Io triumphe of the Tory journals which have, as yet, abstained from advocating Anti-Protestant prin ciples in the National Church, on the nomination of Dr. Gilbert by Sir R. Peel to the see of Chi chester; and the strange language in which the grounds of these triumphings was expressed— that the Premier had given another Protestant Bishop to the Protestant Chureh of England. Whatever the merits of Dr. Gilbert may be as a Pro testant,par excellence, we cannot but consider the appointment as anything but creditable to the Tories, and as a practical violation of the pro mises put forth by the party, that a first-rate man should be selected for the vacant mitre. It is, we are justified in saying, a shabby appointment. Dr. Gilbert is only known at Oxford as equally the violent opponent of Dr. Hampden and Mr. Williams. He is one of the prominent political partisans of one of the sections into which the Church has, unfortunately for its character and efficiency, become divided—and nothing more. Mr. Newman, Dr. Vasey, Dr Hook, and Mr. Keble, are men of acknowledged great literary and theological attainments ; but they are avowedly of the Pusey school. If Sir Robert Peel wished to avoid committing himself by a supposed preference of one of that section, there is Dr. Turton, Dean of Peterborough, a most accomplished scholar and eminent divine ; Dr. Benson, the Master of the Temple ; Dr. Wordsworth, the late Master of Trinity ; and others, eminent in the theological literature of the day. All these have been overlooked; and Sir R. Peel, with his usual policy, has preferred Dr. Gilbert; who has about as much claim to such a distinction, and is as likely to raise the character of the Bench and extend the salutary influence of the Church in this crisis of its his tory, as Mr. William Holmes or Mr. Bonham would have to the post of Cabi n et Minister, with the view of benefiting the country in the present difficult and embarrassed state of its interests. COURIER.—The Chronicle this morning, following up its discoveries of mares' nests and its career of mendacity, a s t on i s h es us with the fact as its very latest discovery, which, " if true" in all its bearings, should undoubtedly be classed as the greatest wonder of the day, of " the Royal West India Steamßacket Company having en tered into contracts for ten or a dozen Bremen vessels to proceed to Sunderland and Newcastle,, there to take in cargoes of coals, and to proceed with them to the Company's stations in the West Indies. Here is an evident admission that foreign vessels can afford to sail on lower terms than British; and the difference must be considerable since the Bremen vessels lose one entire voyage, namely, that from Bremen to the British port, at which they are to load. Indeed the difference must be very considerable to justify such a step on the part of an 'important public company, which is to receive a large annual amount of public money for the conveyance of the Go vernment mails." We had written thus far when we received our daily article from the " City." From its explanation of this famous Bremen bugbear, it will be seen that the Bremen ves sels (vessel rather) are taken up because no Bri tish vessels were to be had, and the occasion did not admit of the slightest delay ; that the same rates of freight are paid to the Bremen as would have been paid to and accepted by the British, and no less; lastly, that the Bremen vessels are not at the disadvantage of losing a voyage, that is, of coming from Bremen to this country to take up freight, as they chance to be on the spot ; and all the disadvantages, therefore, to which they are subject amount to the payment of such extra toll and tonnage duesas may be leviable over and above the rates paid by British vessels; no heavy tax it may be conceded. So much for the new mare's nest of the Chronicle so suddenly and rudely ex ploded. "On inquiry being made of the West India Steam Packet Company (says our City friend), by a party somewhat interested in ship ping, this explanation of the astounding mare's nest was given ; that it was necessary to send coals to St. Thomas's, in order that no deten tion of • steamers might take place on the homeward voyage, and no British vessels offering at the moment, the urgency of the case was such that they were obliged to take up a Bremen vessel for that purpose, for which the same freight is to be paid as would have been paid for our own;' so much for the saving to the Company. The vessel in question having to pay the extra tonnage dues, and the difference in duty on the coal, will not make quite so much freight as it is stated she would; and the only bene fit to be derived from the contract will be by the English revenue, to the extent of about three shillings and eleven pence out of four shillings .per ton on the cargo. This fact' may now sleep quietly by its twin brother about the cloth." The Company, it further appears, had advertised for a vessel (not several), and no British vessel offer• ing the 13remener was of necessity secured. Ac. cording to the Chronicle, a whole fleet of Bre meners had been chartered. STANDARD.—The Houses of Parliament have long established a rule that the vindication of their privileges, when any of these is supposed to be violated, shall take precedence of all other subjects of consideration. The people, and its organ, the Press, cannot do better than to imitate this wise provision of self-defence, sanctioned by the usage of the collective wisdom 'of the country. It is only in the cases of individuals that the privileges of the people can be violat e d, but for that very reason, because the public wrong involves private injus tice and oppression, the people ought to be more sensitive and prompt in asserting their rights, and in redressing the injury inflicted. The United Service Gazette, the vigilant and faithful gdardian of the interests of soldiers and sailors, on Saturday presented a case of oppression and injustice suf fered by oneofthepeople,which we think the people ought to take into i mme di ate consideration if her Majesty's Governm en t d o not, as we trustit will, anticipate the public decision. We allude to the trial and conviction of Mr. Elton, midshipman of her Majesty's ship Cambridge, for writing a disre spectful letter to Mr. Williams, Captain of her Ma jesty's steamer Stromboli. For this offence Mr. Elton has been sentenced to dismissal from the Queen's naval service, when, according to all our ordinary notions oflaw and justice, the naval autho rities have done with him ; but the Court-martial adds to dismissal six months' imprisonment in a common gaol in England, with, of course, several months of intermediate imprisonment until his arrival in this country—the Court claiming the merit of mildness in only imposing such a sentence. This judgment startled us until we saw that the Court-martial had been se lected by Sir John Ackworth Ommanney, • a person whose notions of liberty have been made notorious by certain proceedings in the Courts at Westminster, and that the members of a Court appointed to try a midshipman for disre spectful conduct to a Captain, were all, at the least, of the degree of the offended prosecutor. As civilians, we are perhaps not qualified to judge of questions of discipline, or of the degree of seve rity with which breaches of discipline ought to be punished ; we therefore do not quarrel with the sentence, much as we have been startled by its harshness, inconsistency, and apparent repug nance to the principles of British law. Mr. Elton certainly wrote one objectionable letter; and though, before he knew of a court-martial being intended, he apologised for that letter in terms as ample and as humble as a gentleman could employ, the Court was probably right in disre garding his apology, whatever effect it ought to have produced upon the prosecutor. In its ori gin, however, the affair was not one of discipline; and if Mr. Williams had acted, as we are per suaded ninety-nine gentlemen out of one hun dred in the navy would act, there would have been neither quarrel nor offence. AM LAW INTELLIGENCE. SECONDARIES' COURT, Jan. 25. ." STAFFORDSHIRE GAZETTE"—IVIGLEY, O. VICKERS AND ANOTHER.. This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages between the parties, judgment having gone by default, for a libel con tained in the Staffordshire Gazette, against the plaintiff, a publican residing in Burslem, in Staffordshire. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. Hill appeared for the plain tiff, and Mr. Thesiger for the defendant. Mr. HILL, having opened the pleadings, Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD stated the case to the Jury, and said they were aware of the nature of the claim made by plaintiff against defendant and another. They had already heard from Mr. Hill that the action was brought torecover compensation in damages for a libel published on the 23d of September last. It was published in Burslem, a certain district of the Potteries, which they well knew to be a place where industry was exer cised, and which contained a very large labouring population. The plaintiff had been for many years in Burslem, and had car ried on the business of a hatter, and some time last year he determined to give up that avocation, and become an inn keeper, and took a very respectable inn in Burslem, called " The Cock." This inn he took for a term of years. He had borne a most excellent character up to the time mentioned. He was net a member of the Established Church, but of a reli gious class of Wesleyan _Methodists, and they were all aware of the virtue and_piety that was found amongst that sect. He was a person of private habits, and never appeared in public life, although he held strong opinions on the subject of politics, he being attached to what is called the Whig party, and the defendant belonged to the Conservative party. As such, they could not complain of the defendant using the strongest lan guage in support of his opinion, but they had to complain when he descended into the path of private life, and he (Sergeant Talfourd) thought they would agree with him in saying that they (the defendants) were entirely unsheltered from those privileges of discussion which were alike open to both the great parties in the country. 'I his libel was the more mischievous, because it was contained in a few words, and they must recol lect that a great deal of description could be contained in a few words. They could be easily remembered. It was placed, too, in a conspicuous part of the paper, just over where they would look for the principal article in the paper, and was contained in what was called Notices to Correspondents. They had no doubt read enough of newspapers to know that it was not an uncommon thing for newspaper editors to devote that part of the paper called Answers to Correspondents to personal invec tive, and by this means they gave more poignancy to the re marks, considering that the readers of newspapers generally looked to the Answers to Correspondents. The editor of this paper could not make the excuse frequently made in such cases, that they received communications when they had hardly time to look over them, and thus a letter from some unknown cor respondent might inadvertently get into their columns. But in this case the libel had been written deliberately and especially by the editor in answer to a supposed question, an answer that must have passed under his Judgment. The whole of the answers to correspondents were very short, therefore they would strike any reader, and they would at once see that of which Mr. Wigley complained. The first of these notices was immediately before the one com plained of, and is very short also, stating that Mr. Kennedy was not the proprietor, hut one of the editors, of the Anti- Established Church Mercury. Then came the libel in ques tion, and which was in answer to a correspondent, signed " Con servative." Whether there had been such a correspondent or not he did not know. • If there was such a letter, and that letter could explain why the insinuation in Answers to Corre spondents had been made, he supposed his Learned Friend Mr. Thesiger would produce it, but he (Mr. Sergeant Tal fourd) expected that letter would remain seeret. The libel stated that Mr. Wigley, the friend of Mercury Kennedy, had opened a beer shop, and intended opening a news-room and lecture-room for the accommodation of Atheists and Socialists. He (Mr. Sergeant Talfourd) could not help thinking, that had Mr. Wigley intended to have opened a room for such a pur pose, a very small one would have been sufficient. He dared say they had never heard of a person wicked or bold enough to avow these principles. They were only Atheists in form—they all believed in a first cause, although they might call it by another name, such as chance, the universe, fate, and other such prevarications. They would find if they went to the man in the time of soli tude and of death, in that hour they would find his fear confess ing what his tongue denied ; and although be might still echo those sentiments they would not find a place in the secret re cesses of his heart. Thus the intention of the plaintiff opening a lecture-room and news-room for Atheists, would be almost a self-refuted charge. The libel then alluded to another body of men far more mischievous than that of Atheists, that sect which struck at the root of all moral obligation, and which held as light the sanctity of the marriage tie, and inculcated the principle of universal prostitution. This was the nature of the imputation w ca l s ,a t t u w p as on t t h h e e plaintiff, f air and the o amount efdam nl a y g q e u s question with which hiehth tm the plaintiff was entitled. Some observation was necessary relative to the action being tried in this Court, and not in Staffordshire. The action could not have been tried there till the month of March, and Mr. Wigley had acted" properly in coming there at once to bring that action, and thereby clear his character. The Learned Sergeant then went at considerable length into the demerits and demoralising principles of Socialism, which he said lent corruption to the young mind, and seduced the imagination. He concluded an extremely long speech by apologising for its extent, as it was necessary he should speak at some length on account of the brevity of the libel itself. Had it been longer he should have contented himself with fewer remarks ; and he left in their hands to assess the amount of damages. He asked them to do so ;it was an honest question, and he felt they would honestly answer it. Mr. George Banner Dean was called to prove that the de fendants were the proprietors of the Sta.ffordshire Gazette, but as the action had gone by default, Mr. Thesiger said this ' would only be a waste of time, consequently the witness's evi dence was dispensed with. Mr. William Harding deposed that he was attorney to the plaintiff, and Coroner for the district of Burslem. Had been acquainted with the plaintiff for fourteen or fifteen years. He had resided during that time at Burslem, and had carried on the business of a hatter. The witness was consulted by him with respect to his taking the Cock Inn in Burslem. It was in Sept., 1840, and the lease was entered into by the plaintiff for the remises. The witness had seen the par agra ph i n th e Sta ordshire Gazette relative to the plaintiff. Cross-examined by Mr. Thastoxis—His opinions were Radical, and different from the opinions of the newspaper in question. There were two Liberal papers in Staffordshire— the Mercury and Staffordshire Advertiser. Did not know any other Conservative paper but the Staffordshire Gazette. They were pretty warm in politics in Burslem. The plaintiff was o the Liberal party, and took a great interest in politics, and, during elections, he has known him exert himself very much. Mr. THESICIER—Do you know Mr. Kennedy, the editor of the Mercury 4 Y Is he a friend of yours ?—He is no client of mine. LIBEL.-' AN SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR KILL ING A GOAT.-At the Parsonstown Quarter Sessions, Patrick Collins was placed at the bar ; he was found guilty at the last October Sessions, 1841, for wil fully and maliciously killing and slaying a goat. At that time sever a l o bj ect i ons were urged by Mr Adam Mitchell, on b e h a lf o f t h e prisoner, to the * in dictment, which objections have been overruled by the Law Officers of the C rown an d C lerk of the Peace. "Patrick Colli ngs , w h at h ave you to say why sen tence of death should not be passed upon you?" The prisoner made no reply. His Worship (W. N. Barron, assistant barrister) said, " P a t r i c k C o lli ngs, you have been tried and found guilty, on the clearest evi dence that ever came before a Court of Justice —evi dence that you have not, attempted to impeach —of a crime for the commission of which you have incurred the severest penalty of the law, namely, the forfeiture of your life. It is, therefore, ray painful duty to pass the awful sentence of death upon you ; but I hope the Executive will take your case into their merci ful consideration, and I shall not fail to make a suitable recommendation, on your behalf, to the Lord Lieutenant, who will exercise that mercy which is vested in him by the prerogative of the Crown, and coin - mute your sentence to banishment from your native land beyond the seas, for the term of your natural life." His Worship then named the Bth of February, 1842, for the unfortunate man's execution. The prisoner, who looked deadly pale, and who trembled dreadfully during the proceedings, was then removed to the Bride well.—Leinster Express. THE LATE JOHN SMITH, ESQ., OF DALE PARK.—This eminent banker, who died on Thursday last, at his seat, in Sussex, iu his 75th year, was brother to the late and uncle to the present Lord Carrington. He formerly represented Midhurst and the county of Sussex in Parliament, and has died extremely wealthy. The bulk of his large fortune goes to J. A. Smith, Esq., M.P, of fielgrave-square, his eldest son, who is married IQ a daughter of Six Samuel C. Jervoise, Bart. Mr. THEMER—You may have a friend without his being a client ; sometimes that prevents a man from being a friend. —(Laughter.)—He is no friend of mine, but I k now hi m . Ts Mr. Wigley intimate with him?—He is, I believe. There was a Conservative news-room established, I believe, in Burslem—did you ever hear Mr. Wigley say he would es tablish one in opposition ?—Never. Never heard him say he would put the Conservative news room down I—Never., I suppose there are . squibs written by both political parties, are there not ? Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD objected to the question, which was overruled. The examination of the witness was continued.—A Radical dinner was given to the Member returned for the town, Mr. Ricardo, and which dinner was held at plaintiff's house. Did not know if there was afterwards a tea party of the Liberal ladies. This was in December last. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD proposed to put in an antecedent newspaper, containing articles on Socialism, but Mr. Thesiger objected, and it was withdrawn. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. THESIGER then addressed the Jury for the defendant at considerable length. He said he was rather astonished, after the powerful, eloquent, elaborate, and well considered speech of his Learned Friend, that there had been such a small amount of evidence. His Learned Friend had said that he had made as many remarks in consequence of the article being so short, and he (Mr. Thesiger) thought he meant that because it was so trifling and short, that he must, there fore, draw largely upon his imagination, and thus he had soared into the air, leaving such humble individuals :as himself to follow him in his flight, it being very frequently too far for him (Mr. Thesiger) to approach him. He wished that his Learned Friend had stepped into the regions of fact, then he should have had some chance of contending with him, for in the regions of fancy, he (Mr. Sergeant Talfourd) reigned supreme. He would ask why it was that this case had been brought to that Court, when it might have been tried in the neighbourhood, where all the case was known, and where both parties were living, and were known to all the neighbourhood ? Would it not have been more to his interest, if he had been so much injured, to have had the action tried there, where so much w as in his favour, and where there w ere t wo adical papers to one unhappy Conservative ? His Learned Friend had told them that the plaintiff was not of the Established Church, but was a Methodist ? Was there any proof of this ? Mr. Sergeant TALFovan.—l was net at liberty to prove it. Mr. THESIGER-His Learned Friend was not at liberty to prove }t,, and he would tell him th e n th a t if h e was not at libirty to ' prove it he ought not to have stated it. There was 'no' proof 14 Mr. Wigley being one of that highly respectable body, and of that body, he (Mr. Thesiger) should be sorry to say the, smallest word efdisparagement. He had the highest re gard and opinion for them. With respect to this libel, he would ask them to take up any journal in London and see if they would not find language quite as strong as that used against the plaintiff? The parties were bitterly opposed to each other in politics, and was it to he wondered at that the rarty should call the other by names their cool judgments would not warrant ? He had known his Learned Friend to use expressions against his political opponents, which persons who knew his amiable character in private life would not believe as coming from him. The parties in this case were hot in politics, and opposed to each other. It had not been stated that the plaintiff had sustained any damage by this libel, or that he had lost a single customer by it. It was in evidence that a large dinner had been given in his house to the Member for the town, Mr. Ricardo, a gentleman who would shrink from countenancing anything like Socialism. Nor was there the slightest intention to descend to the private life of the plaintiff. He was a public man—he had made himself a public man, and, therefore, he was a fit subject for the opposing party to attack. Theyall knew the virulence of politics of the present day, nor could they be sur prised at the alleged libel, considering the circumstances. It was not provoe done e t hsoa, he t thewpol would haveai l ntiffh had sustained h d eeh ehtttl entitled ta shillingk fordamiat He e ; if he had ad d had come 200 miles to bring his action before a Jury who were totally ignorant of the circumstances, when he might have gone before a Jury of his neighbours, and who knew all par et i t e r s e htn i ri s ta t h n e n e s eas , n e n , d a k n n d e wwthhoe feelingw er e s o well f th a e c q p u a a r t i e t s e d e o w n e i t e h r e the d. He came, then, before them unknown, to ask them to retrieve his character, although they were entirely ignorant of him and the circumstances of the case. He trusted they would take this view of the case, and remember, that although the law compelled them to return a verdict for the plaintiff, yet it did a n n o d tcomp the re e f l h n t re e m h e t o g hopedi ve any t a , m u o n u d n e t r b eyond allthensoemnin circumstances, damages, uinstannes. they would consider that the damages the plaintiff was entitled to receive would not exceed one farthing or a shilling. The Learned SECONDARY, having briefly summed up the evidence, the Jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver diet for the plaintiff—Damages 40s. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' CO ran. 25. IN RE EDWARD NIGHTINGALE. The insolvent in this case was opposed by Mr. Wood roffe, on behalf of Messrs. Gas and Sons, jewellers, of Regent-stre e t. David Gas s , j un. (one of the firm), said that the in solvent came t o t h eir shop in company with a lady, and stated that he h a d been deputed to pay a small account due by Lady Nightingale, quantity of Jew e ll ery for himse lf an d his fem a l e compa nion, and then ordered some plate to be sent to his house. All this property was pawned almost immediately after delivery. Every exertion was made to find him out, but in vain, and several letters having been addressed to him, he wrote the most insulting answers in return. (The witness here handed in a number of letters to the Court. from which th e following. are a few extracts : "I will prev en t my mother (Lady Nightingale) from paying your usurious demands."—" You hoary headed old pauper, what do you want ? You have been hunting after me at my Chambers in Half-Moon Cres cent, with some long-legged rascal to arrest me." Directed to "old Gass, mosaic.jewellor, Regent-street." flu reading fit' these letter,; wa..; fc.llDv, c , l by rotr-: laughter.) The insolvent was subsequently taken to Hatton-garden police-court, on a charge of assault, when Duke, the officer, got the duplicates of the jewellery and plate, and subsequently handed them over to witness. The Counsel for the insolvent endeavoured to rest his defence upon insanity, but the Commissioner, seeing no grounds for the plea, ordered him to be remanded for eight months. • IN RE THOMAS GRIFFITHS. The insolvent, whose case had been heard before Mr. Commissioner Law, and was reported in The Sun, was called up for judgment. Mr. Commissioner LAW said, in this case the insol vent had defrauded his creditors and contracted debts, without the most distant chance of repayment. In one instance he had dealt with a firm which kept two sepa rate establishments in different parts of the City, and after running in debt at one for a large sum, he went to the other, and, without stating who he was, contracted a still larger sum there. The sentence of the Court, there fore, was, that he be further imprisoned for the term of twelve calendar months from the date of his vesting order. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLEI?KENWELL. Yesterday Richard Kerrison, aged twelve years, was placed at the bar, charged by Charles Luff, tobacconist, of Well's-place, Islington, with having stolen nine cigars. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor, that the prisoner was connected with a daring gang of young thieves, who prowled about the neighbourhood of Isling ton and committed the most impudent depredations. On Monday night last witness left his boy, eleven years of age, in the shop, and whilst there the prisoner, with a gang of other juvenile desperadoes, was observed lurk ing about. At length the prisoner and four of his com panions rushed into the shop, pushed the boy down, whilst they made an effort to seize the till. The pri soner made a snatch at a bundle of cigars, which he took from the counter, and the whole of them ran out of the shop. An alarm was made, and witness immediately pursued them and overtook the prisoner, whom he took into custody, and handed him over to a policeman. The prisoner, on being pursued, threw the cigars into the road, which were afterwards found by a passenger and returned to witness. Richard Horren, errand-boy to the prosecutor, iden tified the prisoner, and gave evidence in confirmation of the above statement. Inspector Jervis, of the G division, recognised the prisoner as an old offencler in petty thefts, who had been in custody before although so young, and he was at that Court about a fortnight ago. Mr. COMBE asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge ? Prisoner (crying)—l was sent into the shop by a big ger boy—he told me to go in. Mr. COMBE convicted him summarily, and sentenced him to two months' imprisonment in the House of Cor rectien. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday Robert Bligh, the keeper of a beer-shop in Queen-street, Chelsea, appeared to a summons charging him with haying assaulted the police and obstructed them in the execution of their duty. Luke Buck, 73 V, stated that on Thursday morning, the 20th inst., between one and two o'clock, he heard a noise in defendant's house as though a number of per sons were there. The door stood ajar, and on pushing it open he observed a number of persons in a back room, where there were glasses and pots, as if they were drink ing. In a moment defendant came from within, any. asked witness what he did sneaking about there, and struck him three or four times on the head. A police serjeant came up, and seeing that defendant was intoxi cated, they thought it advisable to leave the house. Sergeant Ligne, 5 V, said that as he came up he found the constable, who informed him that he had been assaulted. Defendant, in reply, declared that the whole charge was false, and had been concocted at a rival beer-shop, for the purpose of injuring him. He never struck the policeman, nor did he even see him, until, hearing a noise in the passage, he came from a room behind the bar, and saw him strike his son. The son and a person named Watson were called, who both swore that the constable had not been touched by defendant ; but, on the contrary, that he had struck the son twice over the head. Mr. BURNELL made no comment, but at once dismissed the case. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT on the MERSE Y.—LO SS of FOUR LIVES. A melancholy disaster occurred upon the river Mersey, opposite Liverpool, out Sunday morning last, by which, we regret to state, four boatmen belonging to the port were suddenly hurried into eternity. It appears that the four unfortunate men in question were the proprietors of a boat termed "a speculating gig," which generally plies for hire near the docks, and is of the kind frequently en gaged by news agents and others for bringing papers, letters, &c., from the vessels. As several ships were expected to come in on Sunday, the four boatmen proceeded with their vessel towards the rock, speculating upon meeting some ships, and of being engaged to land either passengers or documents. With one sail up, the tide running swiftly, the water exceedingly rough, and the wind 'rather high, they had proceeded as far as Egremont, about half-way to the Rock lighthouse, when the boat suddenly upset, precipitating the boatmen into the foaming waves. The accident occurred not far from the shore, within sight of spectators, and not a great way from where one of her Majesty's revenue cutters and a ship (the Siddons, New York packet) lay at anchor. The boat turned keel upwards, and for a short time none of its ill-fated crew were per ceptible. At length two of the poor fellows were observed grappling with the boat, and they suc ceeded in getting upon its bottom, from which, however, a wave suddenly dislodged them, and for a few minutes they were seen swimming in the water. The crews of the revenue cutter and the other vessel, on witnessing the accident, immedi ately launched their boats, but on nearing the scene of the disaster they were almost swamped, and compelled to return. They succeeded in throw ing out a hand-buoy, which one of the men clutched, but shortly relinquishing his hold, he, with his companions, sank to rise no more. The men, it is said, were all swimmers, but the wea ther was so inclement that animation was so far suspended by the immersion as to render them incapable of exertion to save themselves, which accounts for the hand-buoy rendering no service. On the shore, just opposite to where the melancholy affair happened, there is a large avenue, or cutting through a hill, which faces Bidston. From this avenue an immense body of wind frequently issues from the neighbourhood of Bidston, and it is sup posed that an unexpected gust from that quarter was the cause of the accident. None of the bodies were picked up. They will doubtless be carried out to sea, and at the end of nine or ten days they may probably be found at some distance from Li verpool. The body of the unfortunate woman, Mrs. Powell, who was drowned in the collision of steam boats during the late fog on the Mersey, has not yet been found. Signals of distress were hoisted off the Bidston Lighthouse on Sunday, which caused some appre- hension. Two of the steam tugs and one of the life boats immediately went round the Rocks for the purpose of rendering assistance, when they found the Fergus from Apalachicola, at anchor off he Bell Buoy, totally dismasted, having come in contact with a vessel off the Skerries. No lives, it appears, were lost ; but both vessels received con siderable injury. The Fergus has been towed into por MELANCHOLY DEATHS OF A MOTHER AND CHlLD.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Payne held an in quest at the Commerial Tavern, Sherborne-lane, City, on the body of Elizabeth Lindsey, aged 38. In our im pression of Thursday last appeared the report of an in quest on the body of deceased's infant, the probable cause of whose death was exposure to cold in travelling by railroad from Bristol. At that inquest deceased was to appear as a witness, and whilst waiting to be called, in a room next to that in which the inquest was held, she suddenly expired. On the assembling of the Jury last evening Mr. Payne and the foreman read several letters from relations of deceased. By them it appeared that she was a native of Hereford, and had married about eleven years ago a travelling groom, whose domi cile was at Ackworth, near Pontefract. Five years ago he left her, and has not since been heard of. She sup ported herself by nursing sick persons, and in September last, without assigning any reason to her husband's re• latives, she left Ackworth, and proceeded to Bristol, where, about a month ago, at her aunt's house, she gave birth to an illegitimate child, now, as well as herself, dead. On account of her seeming neglect of the child on her arrival at the above tavern from Bristol, on Sunday week, and the agitation she manifested when she found that an inquest would be held on the body of the infant, the Jury considered that they could not come to a satis factory decision unless a post mortem examination of the body were made. Adjourned for that purpose to Thurs day next. UNHAPPY COINCIDENCES.—.it is remarkable that all the English monarchs, who have wedded French Princesses, have met an untimely end ; Edward the Se cond, who married Isabella ofFrance, was murdered in the most cruel manner by Gourmay and Dlontravers, at Berke ley Castle. Richard the Second, married also to a Princess named Isabella, was killed by Sir Piers E x ton, an d accomplices, at Pomfret Castle, or, as thought by Hume, starved to death there Henry the Sixth, who married Margaret of Anjou, killed in the Tower, as it is said, by Richard Duke of Gloucester ; and Charles the First, who married Henrietta Maria, daughter of Henry the Fourth of France, beheaded in front of the Palace at FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

The following distressing circumstances speak as to its truth :—Mr. David Johnston, overseer at lnverpeffer, died in a fit of apoplexy about two months ago, leaving a wife and large family to mourn his loss. Shortly . before Mr. Johnston's death, one of his sons, a lad of four teen years of age, was apprehended on suspicion of having laid a piece of wood across the railway at Carnoustie. He was only a short time in confinement. Nevertheless, this untoward circumstance embittered the last moments of his dying father. On the day preceding Christmas, one of Mr. Johnston's daughters received the contents of a fowling. piece in her body, from the effects of which she died on the morning of Thursday week. She was a servant in the house of a widow lady at Carnoustie, and was engaged in the kitchen when the only son of her mistress (a mere boy) came in with a loaded gun. He playfully presented the piece at her, which accidentally went off, attended with the fatal results above stated. This fatal accident has deprived the boy's mother of her senses. Another son of Mr. Johnston's, a farm -servant at Seston, was, while driving manure, two or three weeks ago, jammed between the cart and a wall, by which two or three of his ribs were trose Standard. broken.—He is in a fai r way of recovery.—Afon- At a recent examination of some teetotallers at Cardiff, for disturbing the peace by a concert in the street. in praise of teetotalism, one of them spoke of 4, t w o drunken characters who signed." " What," said the Magistrate, " when they were drunk ?"—" Oh, yes," was the answer ; "it is generally the best members who sign when they are drunk , "!-Carmarthen Journal EVENING SUN MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
