SPIRIT of the PUBL.tt.; JOURNALS• FROM THE DALLY PAPERS 01 SATURDAY TIM ES.—We yesterday observed that we found a difficulty in accounting for Lord Ashbur ton's cession to the American Government of the navigation of the St. John's, We are sorry to sec our view confirmed by the tone taken by an American paper, as quoted by our correspon dent : " The honour of the United States," says the jour nalist, "and that of Maine, has been completely satis fi.il by the manner in which Great Britain has treated —harnely„ as if-she had no right to the territory in pestion, but sought to acquire what was useless to us, by an offer of a full equivalent. Th•-• two-thirds of the territory retained by Maine is made by the cession of therightto navigate the St. John's of at least as much value in a pecuniary point of view as the whole terri tory without that right." _ _ INTovv, if thk btateinent stood alone on the un supported dietim of an American newspaper, we certainly should place little reliance upon ii. It is plainly the interest of those Ame rican statesmen who have negotiated this treaty to persuade their countrymen that they have •‘ done the Britishers ;" and we could easily believe that this assertion of the low ground taken by the English Plenipotentiary was of a piece with the affecta tion of Mr. Webster (we would willingly avoid the appearance of disrespect to that able states man, but we can call it no less), of having under stood Lord Ashburton to apologise fin- the burn ileg of the Caroline. We Arlin, however, that the results of the negotiation, as animadverted on in our yesterday'S paper, had more distinctly negatived this American journalist's assumption. Such a snspirion it Would certainly have been difficult to avoid. For how stands the whole ca=d! In honour and equity- we have nut the smallest doubt of the justice Of our claims to the uttermost inch. Not so, howevor- ir we are t ' ) by the " bond." An untbrtatuate ambiguity in the treaty, arising from the gross ignorance or clumsiness of those who had to arrange its terms, lia, 3 l a id us Open to a ve ry plausible, though far frrnii COM:11161V°, counterclaim, which of course the Americans. when discovered, lost no time in setting up. We do not hesitate to say that the present settlement is flu- better, as indeed almost anything must have been better, than the late precarious state of thiogs—a state of things while leaving a castess help unsettled, allowed the United States quietly to concentrate their strength, and strike at any moment at Nvhicli they might find us embarrassed by disturbances ter aisaffeetion itt Canada. We have hal one les son on this subject, am! One lesson is enough. So far at least we cannot he wrong in Collgrattr littill'XOUrtiClVeS on the issue of Lord Ashhurtun's nitssion. CII RONICLE.—If we wish to guard against the repetition of such disorders as have recently oceurred iu the manufacturing districts, we must do something to better the physical arid moral condition or the working-classes. If we cannot remove the desire for political changes, at least . let us take care that severe and general distress shall as seldom as possible inflame the working people into having recourse to violence, in order to get the inanagearentaf public affairs into their own hands. •The recent disorders are full of manning ou this subject. They originated in dis tress; they'were laid hold of by political agita tors, and turned to the account of Chartism. Their origin and the direction subsequently given to them are alike obvious on the very face of the occurrences which took place. The first signal for dist u rb- In c e wad given by the reduction of wages. The men combined to resist this, left their work, aod congregated together. Then it was that, hope leas ofany other remedy, they flaw to the. Charter as the one general means of redressing all griev ances. The combination, which in the present day exists among all classes of workmen, extended this movement even to some of the few of those who were at the moment subjected to no parti cular pressure. But the disorders spread gene. rally, because there was general distress. They assumed the most violent form where the work men had some peculiar grievance, as was the case in Staffordshire; and among those classes of workmen, wl:o happened by especial good for tune to be exempted from the general pressure, :etch as the Durham and - Northumberland col liers, no acts or influence of agitators could pro duce any movement at all. And this is just what we may - look to in future. Mere political feel ing will not (fbr a long time at least) lead the working classes, when in full employ at good • wages, to make any movement for altering the present constitution of the country ; but what. we have to dread is that, whenever they feel themselves pinched, they will organise them :wives in growingly formidable combinations for the attainment of political power, and keep the country, in constant alarm by their attempts to extort universal suffrage. If, therefore, the go- Awning - class in this country wish to save all that most dear to them from the ruin consequent on a,. premature and violent establishment of universal zinffrage, or front constant attempts to attain that. object, of which the repetition would prove almost as ruinous as their success itself, they must henceforth be vigilant in preventing the physical condition of the masses from be coining so desperate as to provoke them to make any movement for constitutional changes. In fact, they must so govern that the masses shall not be led to think that they could ameliorate their own lot by getting the management of af fairs into their own hands. POST.—It is monstrous to assume that a few hundred cotton-manufacturers represent and in clude the great mereantileconammity of Britain. W e would give to the cotton-marmateturers all the weight in determining the policy of the em pire to which their number, their capital, arid their character entitle them. But they are only one section of the connnercial world, and even of this section it is the most proveably worthless and narrow-minded members who are so active in endeavouring to agitate the public mind axainst the little that is left of the wise old na tional system which enabled our fathers to be queath to us the wealth and power that modern doctrines have partly trifled out of our hands. We 'ought by all means to promote the pros perity of our commerce and shipping. But even here the tbreign cotton trade is less fruitfnl, of benefits than ninny other branches of commerce. For instance, the mauuthetured cotton goods sent by us to time lar!;est of our foreign cus tomers are conveyed to the place of their desti nation not ita British, but almost exclusively its tbreign bottoms. Thus, instead of nourish- Mg the source from which the English navy ma y be recruited, we here find the threiien cotton , tirade rearing up a rival to our olden supremacy on the ocean. Not so with the colo nial trade. TiMber front Canada, ru in an d sugar f rom t h e West Indies, fish from Newfoundland, &c. &c., are brought to us by British sailors in British ships, arid the return cargoes are remitted through the same carrying medium. We go not to disparage the importance of the fbreign woven goods trade. Let it count Ibr what it is worth, but, after all, it is within ourselves—within the prodigious extent of our own empire —we must look for the true means of restoring and further developing mercantile prosperity. We ar e avowed friends of protection for all parties—for einploy er s, and ernoloved—fin• farming and mer cantile industry,.

GLOBE.—It is all mighty well to refer to ex ' travagaut speculations in commerce and manu factures such periods . 'of reaction, and long-con tinued depression, as we have been passing through. But if it clearly appears that the main regulator of all other dealings is the dealings is the first necessaries—that the capital set free, at home and abroad, by the plenty and cheap ness of those in some years, seeks naturally other commodities, which every oneis.More able to purchase—that the capital absorbed by exces sive prices of those necessaries, in other years, drains the means of the purchasers of manufac tures, both at home and abroad (since our sud den and unprovided-for demand causes an ex cessive rise everywhere) if, we say, this appears, with' all the evidence figures and facts can give it then that monopoly, which aggravates fluctuation in the prices of food, and balfies every attempt to make pro vision for equalising those prices—is mainly to blame for the great fluctuations in all other departments of commerce. It is mainly to blame for alternate excitement and deep depres sion, in all other industry. Its sycophants abuse commerce and manufactures for those very evils which that monopoly principally inflicts on com merce and manufactures. So far as we are a Corn-lawed nation, we have thrown ourselves out on the normal state of a commercial and manufacturing. nation. We deprive commerce of its vital elements of freedom; we deprive mainultetures of their natural returns of raw produce. We thwart trade in its function of equalising supply with demand of all products. And then we denounce -ntwltt faetkre::. tbrsooth, fbr the violent and disastrous effects of moitopuly —effects which, but for those maituf4ctures, would be still inure disastrous, and stilt more violent! For after all, it is manu factured goods, at ruinously depressed prices, that, directly or indirectly, go to pay for tmd at ruinously enhanced prices. The depreciation, and forced export, of manufactures is the con sequence of this absorption and drain of gold. The cost of correcting the derangements, caused by monopoly, falls on trade and manufactures!• And to the cost of their correction the land-scribes seek to add the odium of their origin ! MONEY MARKET and CITY NE WS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. 'I'I lES.—The satisfaction which was generally diffused by the news of the settlement of the boun dary treaty yesterday, is in some measure counter acted by the almost prohibitive rates which the new tariff imposes on several important articles, especially cotton manufactures. The letters from Liverpool speak of the effects of this tariff as likely to prove in jurious; but it is some consolation, that from the present aspect of affairs in America, there appears every probability that it will not be of long duration. 'Tie new apportionment of the population, according to the late census, will, it is expected, give such ad ditional weight to the agricultural interests of the Union, that the next Congress, which will be elected on the new arrangement, will certainly not allow a high tariff to remain. The requisition that all duties shall be paid in hard money does not seem greatly to displease the London merchants, since after severe losses incurred by trading with persons of no real means, they will now have a kind of guarantee that those who take their goods will be in some mea sure responsible parties. APPREHENSION OF MR. BMR STOW, THE CHARTIST LECTURER. BathoL, SEPT. 16.—The Chartists of this city, aided by .an itinerant Chartist lecturer, calling him self the'Rev. Mr. Bairstow, having attempted to ex cite the working classes of Bristol and of the county of Gloucester, by holding Sunday meetings, and pointing out to them the proceedings going on in the north, the county Magistrates issued a warrant for the apprehension of the preacher Bairstow, " for having, on Sunday, the 14th of August, at Mangots field, in the county of Gloucester, at an unlawful and illegal meeting, or assembly, of 100 and upwards of evil-disposed persons, used violent, inflammatory, and seditious language, to the great disturbance of our Lady the Queen, and the terror of her liege subjects." he warrant was placed in the hands of Superinten dent Hillcott, who was unable to execute it, in con sequence of Bairstow having absconded from the• neighbourhood. He, however, returned to Bristol esterday, and it was announced by printed placards that he would lecture last evening upon the Charter at Bear-lane Chapel (a chapel which the Chartists rent fur the purpose of, under the pretence of reli gion, inculcating Chartist doctrines). The lecturer had not, however., long cvseended the pulpit; before Superintendent Hillcott, assisted by seine of the city police, walked into the chapel, and, having ascended the pulpit stairs, apprehended the Rev. Gentleman in the middle of hie discourse, and conveyed him to the station-house, from which he was brought up fin. examination at half-past one o'clock this day, at the Justice-room, in the County Muse of Correction. The following Magistrates were on the bench : The Rev. W. Mirehouse, Messrs. J. George, Edward Sampson, and W. Munroe. He was bound over in 1001. to keep the peace for twelve months. CITY OF LONDON SESSIONS. Three very respectable looking young men named Patrick Tinte, Daniel Griffin, and Morris White, were indicted for an assault upon Thomhs Jackson, a constable of the City police force. The Jury having consulted for a considerable time, returned a verdict to the effect, that the three prisoners were present at the assault, but there was no evidence to prove who struck the prosecutor. The RECORDER said he could not receive a verdict in that form—it was neither a conviction nor ac quittal. If' they could not agree they must 1:K! locked up for the night, and the prisoners tried again next session. A constable was then sworn, and the jury retired in his keeping. Esher Isaacs pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with an assault upon a constable in the employment of the Commissioners of Sewers for the City. The RECORDER ordered him to be fined 405., and bound over in his own recognizances in the sum of 401. SURREY SESSIONS. (SATURDAY.) _ (Before Mr. PLICiLE and a Bench of Magistrates,) Caroline Clark, aged 21, was indicted for stealing a gown and dress, the property of Harriett Gibson, on the sth September instant. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutrix and the prisoner lodged in the same house at New ington. On the night in question the prosecutrix left her home at seven o'clock, and returned at half-past. eight. She had left her room door open, and on her return she discovered that the property in question had been taken. The pro secutrix then went into the room occupied by the prisoner, and accused her of taking it, which prisoner denied. Another lodger in the same house had met the prisoner on the stairs near the room door of the prosecutrix during the time the prosecutrix was from home. Shortly afterwards the prosecutrix receiv e d an anonymous letter containing a pawnbroker's duplicate for the property, and the pawnbroker's man who had taken in the property gave a description of the person pledging it, whi c h answered so exactly to the description ot . the prisoner, that the policeman recognised her by the description, and took her into custody. For the defence it was attempted to set up an alibi. Several witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent character. The Jury found her Guilty, and she was sentenced to twenty-one (lays' solitary confinement in the Brix ton house of Correction. PICKING POCKETS.---John Buckley and Joseph Parker, two boys, were indicted fbr picking the pocket of-John Spring. The prosecutor was at Camberwell Fair, where the prisoners were also. A policeman, who was watching the prisoners, saw one of them pick the prosecutor's pocket of his handkerchief and hand it to the other. He took them into custody, and found the handker chief on one of them. th l Mr. CHARNOCK addressed the Jury for the prisoner. pri:soners n 1 in , Several witnesses ,i.o. were called to the character of clI -I n i t le Jury, without hesitation, found the prisoners dieted Y , and the Court sentenced them severally to six Ilicatw v P y : 7 . ament ' witlt hard labour.

The COURT passed a high eulogium on the witness White for his good conduct. JUSTICES' Lxw.—June Western was indicted for stealing one half-crown and two penny pieces, the property of J. Joyce, from his person. The prosecutor Swore that he found the prisoner's hand in his pocket, that he seized -her arm, drew her hand out, took the half-crown and twopence from her, and gave her into custody. The CHAIRMAN, in summing up, said that he did not think the evidence sufficient to sus tain the indictreent. The severance of the property from the prosemtor's person was his own act—he had been too quick—he had seized her hand in his pocket, and had himself drawn her hand out. He should have waited, and have let her take her hand out of his po3ket to make the offence complete. The Jury acquitted the prisoner. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. William Smith, alias Michael Onions, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charg;al with having forged the acceptance of Gaze and Co. Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, and Mr. Hobler, jun., appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Curling for the prisoner, who had been a bankrupt, and outlawed, and uncertiticated. Mr. James Whitaker, of Broad-street, surgeon, stated that he knew the prisoner by the name of Wil liam Smith. Ile had been given to understand that he was a brother of James and John Onions, the lat ter of whom had been a partner in the firm of Gaze and Co. for a short period, and although not in cus tody, was charged with having been concerned in the co:ispiracy. The prisoner, on August 27, brought witness the bill, now produced, for 171. 15s. in payment of an account incurred professionally by the prisoner and one of his brothers, who he said authorised him to pay it. At that time there was no acceptance upon it ; in every other respect it was the same as at the present time, except that it had no address upon it of the person upon whom it was drawn. Upon seeing that the bill was not accepted, witness mentioned that fact to the prisoner, who looked foolish, but said the omission was an accident, and it should be rectified. The prisoner returned on the 29th of Au gust, and produced the bill, accepted as it now ap peared to be, by Gaze and Co. Witness then took the bill in discharge of the account, and handed over to him the balance of 11. Ifis. 4d. The bill purported to be drawn by a person named Reinhard. Henry Gage stated that he was a member of the firm of Gage and Co. The partnership with John Onions was dissolved on the 17th of June, in the Ga zette (which was produced). The prisoner's real name was Michael Onions. The bill was not accepted by witness, or by any person authorised by him in the firm. \Vitn-.ss never saw Reinhard, the drawer, but understood that he was a potboy at Garland's, in Sharpe's-buildings, in the Minories. Witness had no doubt that the name-of William Smith on the bill was the handwriting of the prisoner, whose writing he had seen. On cross-examination witness said the prisoner had made engines fur the establishment, and witness had drawn two bills upon him, which he accepted, as the demand for the erection of the engines had been over drawn. Those demands had been paid in sums of 81. and 101. at a time. The prisoner had never accepted any other bills of accommodation or otherwise for witness. He knew, within a few days, that the pri soner was an unccrtificated bankrupt and an outlaw. Witness had received, since the commencement of the present proceedings, a notice signed by Mr. Curling and John Onions, stating that the propriety of dis solving the partnership was disputed. No one had been authorised to accept for the firm. Mr. Curling submitted that there must be proof not only to negative the signature, but to show that authority was not given by some one of the partners. The LORD MAYOR said that the defence seemed to be upon the authority which the prisoner received to accept the bill. If that were the case, why did he not write down the words "by procuration ?" Nothing of the kind was done, but he absolutely signed fbr the firm. Some papers had been found upon the prisoner, when he was apprehended, which Mr. Curling ob jected to allow to be read, as they had nothing to do with the case. The LORD MAYOR said if he considered there was any doubt about the question of the forgery, he cer tainly should look at the letters fur satisfaction, but he thought it was quite unnecessary. Tne prisoner was then remanded. GUILDHALL. Henry Higgs, a young man of about sixteen years of age, and Henry Lewis, an old man ' were placed at the bar, the former ch arge d w i t h stealing two silver spoon, and the latter t: ce 6 e same, inow ing them to be stolen, the property of Mr. Crutchley, the map-seller, of Fleet-street. It appeared that the younger prisoner had been an errand-boy in the service of Mr. Crutchley. lie con fessed to having stolen the spoo n s, and at the same time said he lia hold them to the other prisoner, who lived in Wilderness-row, for eighteen pence. He did not know the prisoner before. The other prisonerdenied this statement, and said he never saw the boy in his life. Sir PETER LAURIE said he thought the prisoner was old in crime, and he should therefore remand him, to get the evidence of his servant. BO W-Si BEET. A person dressed in the first style of fashion, who gave the name of Eugene Ladeid, and a female, also most fashionably dressed, known as Louise la Grange, alias Mirabello, were placed at the bar to-day before Mr. Twyford, having been remanded from this office, on the charge of stealing four brilliant rings, value 1001., from Mr. John Metcalfe, jeweller, of No. 8, Pall-mall, under very peculiar circumstances. Mr. Metcalf stated that on the 19th of August last, the female prisoner called at his shop in a very hand some carriage, drawn by a pair of horses, and said she wanted to see some very fine diamond rings. Witness showed her some. She said they were not good enough, when witness said he would procure some more expensive in the course of an hour. She said if he would send them to the Countess Noailles, 39, Albion-street, Hyde-park, at six o'clock precisely, the Count, whom she represented to be the Secretary to the French Embassy, would be in the way. Wit ness had sent a large case of rings. When the young man returned witness missed four half-hoop" and "hoop" diamond rings. Witness knew nothing of the male prisoner. • Richard Nash Welshman, shopman in the employ of the last witness, deposed that on the 19th Aug us t last he t oo k som e diamonds rings, a little before six o'clock in the .evening 4 to 39, Albion-street, Hyde Park. 'When the prisoner came home, wit ness was shown into the drawing-room, and requested to see the rings •that he had brought. Wit ness showed her them, and she said they were the kind she wanted. She took away all the rings, and had not been absent from the room two minutes when the landlady came to witness and asked if he had done with the lady, for that she had gone out at the front door. Witness did not see her any more till he saw her in custody. Harriette Stow, the landlady of the house in Al biora-street, deposed that the female prisoner took her lodgings on the 19th August (the day Of the robbery). She stipulated for the apartments at two guineas and a half a wee k . She volunteered a reference, and wrote o n a p i ece of paper, " M. Le Compte de Noa illes, attache a L'ArnWssade Francais.' The wit ei.g.N witness's i i tn tl e t s ti s .e 's , evidence.o aceh mna Go wit ness also co rro b orated the whole of th e l a tt er p a rt of the last to Mr. Kimell, jeb-inas ter, of 56, New Bond-street, proved driving the fe male prisoner to Mr. MetcaWs, and various other places, on the 19th August. George Corsbie, in the employ of Mr. Lawton, pawnbroker, 21, Green-street, Leicester -square, pro duced a diamond ring which had been pawned with him on the 19th August, about a quarter to eight in the evening, by the female prisoner, for 101. Mr. Metcalfe identified the ring produced as one of the four which he had lost. Inspector Pearce then stated that he expected in a few days to have further evidence implicating the male prisoner in this transaction, and he applied to have the prisoners remanded. Mr. Twyforty then remanded the prisoners till Saturday next. Mr. Lewis, of the Albany, who attended for the prisoners, applied to have them admitted to bail, but Mr. Twyford refused the application. An individual, who described himself as Baron Kaim, was next placed at the bar, on the charge of stealing two brilliant rings and a pearl breast pin, the property of Mrs. Johnson, of Palace-place, Scotland yard. On the application of Inspector Pearce, he was also remanded till Saturday next. A boy named Buil, a mail rider at the Post-office, was fully committed for trial on the charge of stealing and destroying letters. MARYLEBONE. Frederick Harris, a young gentleman, was placed at the bar charged by Captain Grindlay, of North bank, Regent's-park, with running with - considerable violence against him while in a tipsy state , and even when he took the other side of the street, still follow ing him, and keeping up the same annoyance, pushing him about. His object was to get him admonished. 'l'h' prisoner in defence said he was tipsy, and was sorry for what had occurred. The MAGISTRATE fined him 205., which paying, he was discharged. • .. James Davi s and Charles Porter, two boys, were him l t when was charged, b y police-constable 136 E, with obstructing taking a prisoner. to the station-house. proved that they had thrown some stones, and the Magistrate adjudged each to a month's im prisonment. UNION-HALL. Yestorda. Elizabeth Bailey, the woman charged on suspicion with being concerned in robbing Mr. John Marquis, at Preston, of 1,9901., was brought before Mr. Trail for re-examination, and Win. Jewell appeared upon his recognisances as an accessory after the fact. Mr. Clarkson attended on behalf of the prisoners. William Watson was then sworn. He stated that he was landlord of the Railway Inn at Woodside, anti that he recollected-the day on which two strangers — a male and female—came to his house and had re freshment. It was on Monday, the sth instant. lie, however, did not take sufficient notice of them to be now in a situation to identify them ; but that after their departure, he went into the back-yard, and saw what he at first supposed to be a piece of waste paper, and on opening it out found it to be a 1001. note, with a 101. note wrapped up in it. lie proceeded to Liverpool the following day, gave notice of the. cir cumstance at the principal police-station, and bills de scribing the fact ha ving been circulated, the complain ant came forward and identified both the notes as forming a portion of those of which he had been robbed, as already described. The notes referred to were produced before the Magistrate, and by certain marks upon them were satisffictorily identified by the complainant as two of those of which he had been robbed. Mr. TRAIL, with a view that no mistake should occur, relating to the identification of the persons of the suspected parties,. directed that they might be brought into Court, and that they should mingle with the auditory, in order that the principal witness from the public-house at Woodside might have an oppor tunity of pointing them out if she was enablea to do so, from her recollection of the circumstance of the visit of the two strangers at her master's house. This being done the witness, whose name is Ellen Lodge, stated that . she is barmaid at the Railway Inn, at Woodside, and that on Monday, the sth instant, a man and woman came to the house about half-past one o'clock on the above day, and ordered ham and eggs, which she cooked for them, and afterwards waited upon them, which gave her an opportunity of noticing them. They remained in the house until half-past three o'clock, but previously to their depar ture the woman. went through the kitchen. into the yard, and into the place where the notes were subse- quently found by Mr. Watson. That the man was also seen by another servant to follow .soon after, and they both passed into the house and. then .went away. In reply to Mr. TRAEL the witness. further said that it was she who gave the descriptioo of the suspected persons, and which appeared in the hand-bills that were circulated. The witness was here shown a cornelian ear-ring, which the female prisoner wore on the former exami nation, and which she appeared so desirous to conceal when Mr. Trail desired her to exhibit her side face to Mr. Marquis, to see if he could identify her. On that occasion she only had one ring in her ear, and instead of turning that particular side she turned the other, and when asked why she did so, she exhibited much confusion, but said she had no reason for doing it. Mr. TRAIL asked the witness Lodge if the ring produced w4s like those which she saw in the woman's ears at Woodside ? 'Du!! witness replied in tho affir . . illative, a fact which was confirtnatori' of the accuracy of Baileys identity. Mr. Marquis handed in a paper with the numbers of all the notes of which he was robbed, amongst which were two of 5001. each. He said that none of the notes had been traced, although every exertion had been used for the purpose, except the .two pro duced, which were found at Woodside, as above de scribed. He accounted for the fact of his not bein g enabled to idQntify the female prisoner to have arisen from its being nearly dark at the time he was robbed and the short time, he was hi the company of the per sons who effected it. He added that he recollected well that the woman was tall, like Bailey, and having heard her speak at Preston, the voice exactly resem bled that of the prisoner. He added that Jovell was not the man in company with the woman at the time of the robbery. Mr. Clarkson said that the case having taken a dif ferent turn ,to that which he was led to anticipate, - he should decline putting any questions to the witness Lodge; that previously to the Magistrate deciding on. a committal, or sending down the accused to the place where the offence, was committed, he would grant another remand, and that the trial, if such was to be the result, if held in town, would save a vast deal of expense to all pa r ti es , as ie assizes would not com mence until March, and that at the Central Criminal Court sessions would be on 111 less than a month. The MAGISTRATE acceded to the Learned Coun sel's suggestion, and he accordingly remanded the prisoners until that day fortnight, enlarging Jovell's recognisances to appear on that day to answer the charge.

There was a frightful wound on the scalp, and another on the!: - head. There was also a contused wound on her ci3ll t arm and other bruises on her person. A certificate was produced, stating that Eliza Kerr was in a very dangerous condition from the wounds described, and that she could not be removed. Mr. BALLANTINE &lid that he should remand the prisoner for a week, and if his wife recovered suffi ciently before that time, which was not at all likely, her husband would be brought befhre him or his colleague, before the expiration of the remand, to hear the woman 's eviden ce.

Janes gentleman who has be en carrying on with his father an extensive business as a lime-burner, at Coul3don, for many years, was brought up on a warrant obtained by Mr. C. Smith, an ironmonger, at Croydon, charged with being con cerned in the uttering of a bill of exchange, bearing a forged acceptance, with intent to defraul the pro secutor. Air. R. Russell, of Croydon, and a clerk from the office of Mr. Flower, attended on behalf of the ac clued party. The case, from the respectability of the prisoner, and his station in life, created a great deal of interest, and the Court was crowded during the investigation. Mr. CURRIE, when the warrant was produced, ad dressed his brother Magistrates, and explained, that Mr. Smith, the prosecutor, had originally applied to him for a warrant against the prisoner and his father upon the charge of forgery. TILt father was subse quently taken into custody, and underwent an ex amination upon that charge before him and another Magistrate • but, after hearing the evidence that was adduced, they did not think it was sufficient to war rant them in committing him to prison. At that ex amination a bill of exchange, bearing at' acceptance ' which was proved to be a forgery, was produced, and Mr. Atkins, - jun., was now brought forward to answer for his connexion with that bill of exchange. Mr. C. Smith was then sworn, and Mr. CURRIE called upon him to produce the forged instrument. Mr. Smith said he had not got it. Mr. Cuaare inquired what had become of it ? Mr. Smith replied that he did not know anything about it; but he believed it had been destroyed. Mr. CURRIE asked if the amount had, been paid to him for the bill? Mr. Smith said it had not. Mr. CURRIE—Then you do not produce the instru ment? Mr. Smith—l have not got it. I am very sorry that in a moment of anger at finding that I was obliged to pay the bill, owing to the acceptors not having honoured it, that I got the warrant against these gentlemen. Mr. CURRIE, then addressing Mr. Smith, told him that he had come forward, in the first instance, to make a charge of forgery, and he produced an instru ment which was sworn to be forged, and now he thought proper to say that he aid not know what had become orit. In his opinion this amounted to com pounding a felony, and he dou . 3t4Ll whether it did not even make him an accessory after the fact to the felony. Mr. Smith declared that he never saw the bill after the examination of Mr. Atkins, sen. Mr. Sydney Penfold, one of the clerks to the Bench, said he could contradict this statement, for he remembered distinctly placing the instrument in his •hands Mr. Cumin; suggested that Mr. Penfold should be sworn to this fact, and this was accordingly done, and his deposition was taken down. Mr. Penfold, sen., said that as Mr. Smith did not appear to be willing to produce the instrument, the charge of forgery could not be gone on with. Mr. Cumuu said the charge of forgery must of course be dropped, but the Bench would go on and hear what evidence could be adduced, in .order to see whether they ought not to give instructions to indict Mr. Smith for compounding a felony. The Bench would not allow itself to be trifled with in this manner. Mr. Henry Say was then sworn, and he deposed that he and Mr. William Arnold had been in business as builders, but they were not now partners. They formerly had transactions with the Messrs. Atkins, but had ceased to do so for the last three years. Mr. CURRIE—Do you remember upon the exami nation of Mr. Atkins, sea., that a bill of exchange for 481. was produced, pu:porting to be accepted by Henry Say and William Arnold ? Witness—l do. Sir. CURRIE— Was that acceptance in your hand writing or that of your partner? Witness—lt was not mine, but I cannot say it was not my partner's. Mr. CURRIE—Do you mean to swear that you do not know whether it was written by your partner or not ? Witness—l don't believe it was written by him. Mr. CURRIE—Then, why did you not say so at first. It was sworn, positively, at the former exami nation, that the acceptance was a forgery. The Bench then consulted together, after which, the CHAIRMAN said, that as the alleged forged instrument was not forthcoming, Mr. Atkins must be discharged, but he at the same time said that copies of all the de positions would be forwarded to the Home-office, in order that the Secretary of State might decide whe ther any ulterior proceedings should be adopted. STATE of the MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. (From the .11ttncliest2r Guardian of Saturday.) The only new feature in the state of the working population of this district is to be found in the com plete break up of the turn-out at Stockport, where the workpeople are all rapidly returning to their work, on the same terms as before the turn-out; and, from what we hear of their feelings, we believe there can be little doubt that they will continue steadily at their work. In Ashton, there is not, as yet, the slightest appearance of any general resumption of employment ; yr Whhtaker ---- und - whu returned to work on Monday, as mentioned in the Guardian of Wednesday last, are again at a stand, having evidently been so far intimidated by the at tempt made to turn them out on Tuesday, that they have not ventured to resume their employment. At Stalybridge, although most of the factories were at work yesterday, the hands are evidently in a very un settled state, and at present it seems somewhat doubtful whether they will 'continue at their labour. At Bolton, the spinners have all given notices to their employers, which terminate this day ; but we believe nothing is yet known as to their real intentions. In this town, the weavers are gradually returning to their employment at the old prices, and every day witnesses a considerable augmentation in the numbers of those at work, as well as an inerease.in the exas peration of those .who remain out. Several efforts have been made during the last two days to turn out those who have returned to their labour; but, with one trifling exception, they have all been unsuccess ful and, on one or two occasions, the assailants have suffered rather severely. In one case, we regret to say, one of them received a blow which has termi nated fatally; being the first instance of loss of life that has occurred in this town since the commence ment of these extensive and protracted disturbances. THE RIOTS iiNFTHEMANUFAC- TURING DISTRICTS. MANCHESTER, FRIDAY MORNING.—We regret to have to record a renewal of the disturbances which have lately produced such serious alarm throughout the whole empire. Such, however, is our task, though in consequence of the disposition of the police force and special constables, no serious mischief can happen. Had it not been for the prompt movements of the• civil force, we have no doubt yesterday would have. witnessed the destruction to a considerable extent of property belonging to those masters who have suc ceeded in obtaining hands to work at their power looms. The disposition of the weavers in Manchester and Salford seems to be to prevent, if possible, the resumption of work, unless the masters accede to the demands for an advance of wages. Many of the masters are willing to do this, particularly in Salford, but refuse to do so without their contemporaries being placed on the same footing as themselves, An attack was on Thursday made on Messrs. Garstang's factory in Salford, which was at an early hour visited by a large mob of men and women,—the hands all turned out, and th e windows broken. The mob thence proceeded to the fitetory of Messrs. Morris, in Oldfield-road, where a number of strangers are em ployed as weavers, instead of the turn-outs. At this place, however, they were repulsed by the hands of Messrs. Morris,• who• were armed for the purpose of self-defence. The men also took three of the ring leaders into custody, and handed them over to the police. After this the mob held a meeting in the Chartist-room, George-street, where resolutions were come to that they would not resume work until they obtained the .wages they had in 1839. In the course of the afternoon reports were re ceived at the Town Hall, Manchester, that mobs were collecting in various parts of the town, parti cularly in the neighbourhood of the large factories in Oxford-road, belonging to • the Oxford-road Twist Company, to Messrs. Birley, and to Mr. Marsland. A number of windows were broken, and the mob threatened to turn out the hands, but they ap peared to act with great caution, for immediately any violence is committed the mob take to their heels, lest they should be pounced upon by the police. About five o'clock in the afternoon the Chief Superintendent of Police, Mr. IL Beswick, left the Town Hall at the head of a body of police and special constables to proceed to the places where the mobs were collecting. On reaching the mill of Mr. Mars land, in Oxford-road, it was fbund that the mob, after breaking the windows, had proceeded towards Gaythorne. Mr. Beswick went in that direction at a rapid pace, and found a mob of from 700 to 1,000 persons about leaving the mill of Messrs. Fernley, having broken about 100 windows. On Mr. Beswick making his appearance the mob turned round, and were requested by a man who seemed to he the leader, to face the police. They halted, and seeing this Beswick hastened to fetch his force. On their appearance the mob fled in all directions, but the leader was chased through various courts and narrow streets ; and after - a gallant run of twenty minutes, he was taken into custody and lodged in the New Bailey In the evening Mr. Beswick succeeded in capturing several other parties whom he knew to have taken an • active part in the riots. They will be examined to day before the Magistrates at the New Bailey. The town continued in a state of great excitement until a late hour last night. In the neighbourhood of the factories and on the Ashton-road, large bodies, principally of young females, marched in procession, singing that they would not go to work until they obtained they obtained the advance. In the course of yesterday meetings of the turn-outs were held in va rious parts of the town, at which a man named Massy said he had marked several families who had gone to -work in the itc,,,ont's-road mill. The meetings were,. however, dispersed by the police, and several, on the remonstrance of Colonel Wemyss, separated. The , town this morning is quiet, but detachments of police and specials are marching about in all directions. NEW BAILEY—THURSDAY. CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE SECRETARY OF THE DYERS' UNION.—This afternoon John Tear, who who has for some time past acted as secretary to the Dyers' Union, was placed at the bar before Mr. D. Maude, the stipendiary Magistrate, and Messrs. Wankly and Elias Chadwick, on a charge of rioting, and conspiring with others to turn out the hands at several factories and other works, at the commence ment of the present outbreak. Mr. Cobbett, solicitor, defended the prisoner. The first witness called was a boy, named Joshua Greenough, who stated that he knew the prisoner, having worked with him at Messrs. Dooley and Price's, fustian-manufacturers, in Manchester. On the 12th of August witness was in Salford. acci dentally, and hearing that Messrs. Dewhirst's men ware about to be turned out, he went there. Witness saw a mob of about one thousand persons go to the mill. The prisoner was then standing at the gate. The gate was opened, and witness heard the prisoner tell the mob to go and turn out the hands. The hands were turned out, and about thirty of them joined the mob. There was then a call of "Fall in," which the mob did, and then marched off towards the flax-mill . Tear was at the head of them as far as wit ness could see. Moses Price, engineer at Messrs. Wilson and Co.'s Adelphi print-works, in Salford, gave similar evidence. Thomas Elison, a person in the employ of Messrs. IVilson, said the prisoner came up to him at his master's works on the 10th of August, took hold of him by the collar, and said, " Come out, you d—d knobstick." John Mabery, one of the police, stated that he had gone to the house of the prisoner to apprehend him. He found a hat in the house in which was the pri soner's name, and in it some papers, which he pro duced. One of the papers was a copy of resolutions, and another was the placard, printed by Turner, headed " The Executive Committee of the National Charter." Mr. Maude ordered the depositions to be taken against the prisoner, and said he should send the case to the assizes. On the application of Mr. Cobbett, however, the Bench intimated that they would admit the prisoner to bail, himself in 1001.. and two sureties in 50/. each. Forty-eight hours' notice to he given of the bail. GLOSSOP, THURSDAY. The turn-out in this hitherto peaceable vale is not yet at an end. Most of the mills are still idle. A party of the 65th took up their quarters yesterday, some in Howard-town, Glossop, and others in the im mediate neighbourhood of Brookfield, the mill belong ing to Mr. Shepley, which was lately attacked, and in defence of which that gentleman fired on the mob. The inhabitants who form the discon tents, in the neighbourhood of Glossop and Brook field, appear to entertain . a very great hatred to wards Mr. Shepley; and expressions of the most horrid nature are frequently uttered against him. His property is still guarded by the military, and their presence alone is the security for his life : and property. His mill is, however, at 'work, he having opened it at the earnest request of his workpeople, who are perfectly satisfied with their situation and the wages paid them. As the military passed along the railway yesterday from Manchester they were re ceived by the hootings and jeers of large crowds, col lected on the various bridges in the neighbourhood of Ashton, Fairfield, Staleybridge, &c. The shouts of the people were, however, received with great good humour, and it is to be hoped nothing will occur to mar the good feeling which appears to exist amongst the military towards the former. COMMITTAL FOR ATTEMPT TO MURDER.—It will be in the recollection of our readers that Mr. Cooper, an extensive manufacturer in the neighbourhood of Glossop, had his hands turned out, and his factory stopped about three weeks ago, and that on the 24th ult. he and two of his sons gave evidence before the Magistrates against several of the rioters, who were in consequence committed to Derby gaol for trial. On their way home, Mr. Cooper and his friends, and two of his sons, were attacked by a furious mob, se verely beaten, and one of Mr. Cooper's sons left in a field in a state of insensibility. , . Connected with this attack a person named Howard, a boy eighteen years old, has been committed by the Magistrates to Derby gaol, to take his trial for wound ing, with intent to murder, Joseph Cooper, jun. The facts of the case will be collected from the evidence of the following witnesses : Joseph Cooper, jun., said he was a witness before the Magistrates on the 24th of August, against Jos. Lawton and others. Witness,•his father, uncle, and brother, accompanied the prisoners, who were guarded by the soldiers, to the . • Norfolk Arms. They were hooted and hissed all the way by the crowd. When they had turned round the corner of the street, the -1 - 41 c *ll prisoner called out something, on which the mob ran at them. The two women headed the mob, and one of them came up behind witness and said he would never die in his bed for what he had done to her son. She then struck him a severe blow 6n the back of the head, and the mob began to throw stones. Witness an,' his party were obliged to run, but they were followed by the mob and all hit with stones. When he got near a stile in Mr. Howard's field he saw the prisoner, who was throwing lumps of clay at witness; a - id on his reaching near a wall the pri soner took a large stone from the wall and threw it with such violence that it made a hole through his hat and knocked him down. Witness had no doubt the prisoner was the person who threw the stone. —[The hat was here produced and had a hole in it, which had evidently been done with violence, and was large enough to adMit a man's fist.] The rest of the mob then came up and began to kick witness very violently. He got up, and attempted to defend him self with a stick he had in his hand, but was again knocked down, and kicked very much about the body and legs. Shortly afterwards, two persons came up to where witness was lying on the ground, and one of theni took hold of him by the hands, and then re • marked to the other, " He's dead, by —:' Witness then lost all recollection for some time. On his re covery he was carried to his father-in-law's house, and from thence house. He was confined to his bed for a week fruits the effects of the wounds. lie was very much beaten fiboat the head, back, and loins. It was evident from the appearance of the witness that he had been much bruised, and on his face, over the left eye, there was still to be observed a large wound, and another on the back of the head. The prisoner, after being cautioned by the Magis trates not to criminate himself, was asked if he wished to put any questions to the witness. He merely re• marked that he was not present when the attack was made on the witness. Mr. Joseph Cooper, sen., corroborated the evidence of his son respecting the attack of the mob on them. Joseph Cooper, son of the last named witness, fully corroborated the testimony of his father and brother. The mother and father of the prisoner here stepped forward, and wished to be examined in his behalf, on which they were sworn, and cautioned by the Magis trates. The mother entered into a statement to show that he was not present at the attack on Mr. Cooper, and the father said he was not at home at the time, and therefore did not know where his son was. The Magistrates then informed him that he stood committed to take his trial for the offence at the next Derby assizes ; bail was refused, and the prisoner re moved. PRESIDING AT ILLEGAL MEETINGS.—A respect able looking man, named James Koe, was brought. before the bench on several charges of conspiracy, at tending illegal meetings, &c., at Glossop, for the pur pose of preventing the hands of various factories from returning to their work. He was committed for trial, but admitted to bail, himself in 1001., and two sure ties ia 50/. each. STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, SEPT. 16.—We can merely this week confirm our last report : the de mand continues limited, the manufacturers suiting their purchases to their present inconsiderable wants. WAKEFIELD WOOL MA RKET , SEPT. 16.Ther e is little or no variation i n our woo l market this 'week. On the one hand, stocks are light in the market, and on the other, the d eman d for all descriptions is ex ceedingly languid, and prices are barely sustained. TRADE or LEEDS.—There has been no improve ment in our cloth markets this week, on comparison with the markets of last month. The demand still continues very dull for cloths of fine and middle qua. lities : the principal articles which are selling are heaver cloths, heavy tweeds, and fancy cloakings. Pilot cloths continue to be less in demand this season than usual. Business has been a little better in the warehouses this week, and as the drapers are begin ning to make their purchases for the winter, there is some probability that trade generally will be better during the next two months than it has been for some time past. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—We have had a full attendance of merchants in the Piece market, and more business has been done than last week. Both plain and fancy goods are in demand, and of neither description is the market very abundantly supplied. The manufacturers, however, will do well to exercise caution, and not produce any goods for stock, or they may suffer a repetition of what many have felt in former times, and which it is always policy to avoid. We learn that the demand for yarns continues steady, chiefly for home c onsumption and the De Laine trade. The shippers are hardly doing as much as is usual at this season. Prices steady. There is a good supply of all kinds of wool in the market , and the staplers complain greatly at the prices offered by the spinners, which are not commensurate with the rates demanded by the growers ; consequently rather less than an average is done.—Leeds Mercury. The Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry has derived much benefit from the marine baths at Ramsgate, where his Lordship has been staying some weeks, NW ~1~ ~~ t ATTEMPT .TO MURDER. AT A MARRIAGE FEAST. Guillaume Bour!em was charged with having at tempted the life of Jean Laborie. The crime with winch the prisonerstoodcharged was committed wider extraordinary circumstances :- Jean Laborie, a farmer, aged 25, resided at Nig. relat, in the commune of Cussac, with Catherine. Laborie, his sister, and the prisoner, his brother-in law. Bourbon managed the affairs, and received the monies. He had also acted as tutor to his brother -. in-law. For the last two years Jean Laborie had been paying his addresses to a young woman named Marguerite Merle ; and it was believed that the union would combine all the convenances of both age and fortune. The prisoner, however, did everything in his power to prevent, or at least to retard the match, and" employed a person to endeavour to turn Laborie from his project. In this feeling of opposition it ap peared that he had two motives-one of hatred, and the other of cupidity. He had, in fact, an inimical feeling towards Merle, the girl's father, by whom he . fancied he had been wronged; and he feared th after the marriage Laborie would be induced by bil ~,, father-in-law to ask f o r . a di v i s i on o f proper t y . He I had been heard to say, in reference to the affair- - " If that bete marries the girl Merle I shall have to sell two cows ; and if he d oes so h e s h a ll pay f or it." The opposition o f th e p r i soner was, however, futile. The proj ec t e d marr i age was a l most concluded and on the sth of May th e t wo f am ili es , accom p a nied" by some mutual friends, re p a i re d t o C ussac f or the purpose of concludin g th e con t rac t. B our b on went also, but took no p ar t i n th e b us i ness o f t h e day. ' keeping by himself, and confining his remarks to ex pressions of discontent. In a fit of excitement, at a public-house, he dashed a glass down upon the table- - They will marry, will they ? Well, I will give . them nothing; 11l go to law first." The contract was, however, completed; the two -. families returned home to the village, and assembles` ' at a friend's house for the purpose of passing the' evening with a dance. During the time the lovers and their friends were thus en oying themselves, a repast was being prepared at the house of Merle, the father of the intended bride. Ten o'clock Was the hour fixed for sitting down to supper. Bourbon , however, had not arrived, although he had been in - , , vited. He had, i n f ac t, sa id t o some person t h at if he ;, came it should not be for nothing. In order ta , : overcome his unpleasant f ee li ngs a friend named: , Morange was sent again to ask him to come, but coal°. : get no answer at the house, and returned to the parti , thinking that Bourbon must have retired to bed. Ile ' then found that the repast was served. upon a large _ bin or trough in the place of a table. This NNss'' placed near the fireplace in a large room, which com municated by a secret door with an adjacent barn , The guests, seven in number, sat down. Four sat on the opposite side near the stove-namely, the intended, bride and her affi ance d husband, her father and brother. Opposite them, a little to the right, was the door which communicated with the barn ; on the other side of the.table, and immediately opposite the lovers, sat Morange, another friend named Barriere , and the musician, having their backs turned towards the door. The party had scarcely taken their seats when it opened. They thought that Bourbon wa s coming, and turned their ,faces that way ; no one wt' s to be seen, but the next moment the report of a go, was heard, and the right side of poor Labori e 's beau t ! received nearly the whole charge of the weapon. if e fell forward upon the table, bathing the cloth 'xi" his blood. Two shots out of the whole charge only appeare d to have escaped him; one of these struck Marguerlil Merle, and the other Morange, the friend who ha"' gone out to invite the assassin to the feast. The latter , although only slightly wounded, received such a shock that he fell upon the floor. Taking advantag e of the scene of confusion which followed his act, th e assassin fled; but he had been seen and recognised 1:1 two witnesses in his flight. A third witness had seen the prisoner enter h is '. house the instant after the murderous act had been committed. Poor Laborie, it was thought, must have sun k under the effects of the wound, had he not had: a very fine constitution, which e n a bl e d hi m t o recover the shock. As it is, he has lost his right eye, i.nd'has r e ; ceived other injuries, which h e w ill suffer from a : t he long as he lives.
