The in - Junction was granutd on the 13th of September, 1842, I%ikliberty to . the defendant to move on the 27th f the same month to have the injunction dissolved. fitstead, however, of dissolving the injunction, the de endant in contempt of that order had, in the course of t he ' month of September, 1842, inserted advertisements othe Ti mes newspaper, an d wee kl y Di spatc h , the effect, that, in consequence of the o r ? lil 'etion granted against him by the Master thebi Rolls, no portraits should be taken at his esta but bl ishment 52, Liverpool-street, Broad-street, London, that in s t ruct i ons in the art continued to be given 3 ;- 1)4 11 at the rate of five guineas for each pupil ; that s i -e injuncti on wou ld b e argue d a t hi s Lordship's re i dente on the 28th inst.

The question was upon the applica 111)1T:,t.hat principle to the present case. lie began t4ki n ,,.." i ng out of consideration the alleged under orife''' i o f counsel at the hearing of the truth al ttnd supplemental information. The Ile of that allegation was in might not es hav,.C4 i t in proof. The defendants must, therefore, ti oo 7 a ri ght to make such a defence to this infort___n_a ask.„'''s would be required in that alternative. The tw' ( ;', l :_ellt in support of the exceptions was rested on lati `"4`..inet grounds. First, it was said that the re ell,"jef the Parties was such that when the fact was pi a ! 'Omitted that the new trustees came into the fi a t nf those who had answered to the original infor eQsdi!)n, they were as completely bound by the pro lisa I n gs in ti:.e cause, including the decree, as if they fa st, 'ell original parties themselves. It was said, in wili `Lord the information was that kind of pleading inf' s e Lord Redesdale had • described as " original therefor i n the nature of a bill of reviver ;" and, ti on ef( )re, that the defendants, when once their posi kor,Wa', established, are completely bound by the tioi,`"dings• Secondly, it was said, that if the rela tor 8 Of tile partie3 were not such as to entitle the At gr,ll%-Ceneral to that benefit which the previous 4 (.) fr ll- assu med, the supplemental information was the d a e n f led as to tender one issue only, namely, whether Proc • I n t n ts T were lsound or not bound by the former i . l:l o ie c e it. d s 'el• Ile had considered both these grounds, 1 -e thought could not be supported. He newlligilt the practice of the Court required that the Court tru s t ces C or rt a t the should have bean brought before the fi r nia,tioLn, °n which of the original supplemental in • which the decree was ultimately drawn an y . '"eY had the same interest in the charity as positio n it other trustees. If he was right in his the time it Would follow that the new trustees must, at the °l answering this information, have been in zittill vsealir ea p s o e s i i t ti l o v n aa a s if it had been filed against them. b 11132.J1 .(:7tfet O n C it e Nr clear that they might have made Mai the justice of the case required question of costs, if they needlessly re- peatcd what was contained in the former answer. His Liu.: Lew Lrustees would Le affected by the then answers of the former trustees, - in the proceedings in the cause, but that they were now so bound as to be absolutely precluded from making a proper ease against the decree. Upon the second question, which was one of strict pleading, he felt great difficulty; but, adverting to what Lord iledesdale had said as to bills filed for the purpose of having the benefit of former proceedings against those who were not parties to them, in pages 97 and 98, 4th edition, and referring particularly to what Lord Eldon said, in Lloyd and Jones 9th Iresey, not withstanding his opinion as to what might be the con venient rule of practice, he thought the facts which constituted the case made by the original information, were so far put in issue by the present information, that the Court might, at the hearing of this informa tion, go into the case as against the new trustees, and that it could not be confined to the narrow issue which the present argument of the Attorney-General sup posed. He thought, therefore, the Master's Report must be confirmed. QUEEN'S BENCH—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) RENNO V. BENNETT. This was an action, brought by the plaintiff, a sailor, to recover damages from the defendant, the owner of a ship, for having been left on shore by the defendant's officers, at a port in the Island of Java. The defendant pleaded that the plaintiff had been guilty of mutinous conduct, and that, therefore, he had no claim ' whatever on defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff had shipped, as a seaman, on board the defendant's ship, on a whaling voyage to the the South Sea, on the usual terms viz., to share in the proceeds of the voyage. The ship was commanded by a person named Hill, who died on the voyage. The ship put into the Island of Java, a person named Smith, a Prussian, having assumed the command. On their arrival at Java, Smith proposed to plaintiff to sign an agreement to proceed for the rest of the voyage under his (Smith's) command. The plaintiff refused to sign any such agreement, or to proceed on the voyage under Smith's command, or to do any duty unless Smith was willing to take the ship to an Eng lish port. Smith then ordered the plaintiff ashore, and left him at Java; and contended that he was jus tified in doing so, on account of the plaintiff's muti nous conduct. The replication was de injuria, and consequently admitted that Smith was master. The case came on for trial before Lord Chief Justice Tindal, and the verdict was returned for the defendant. Mr. James had obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground that Smith, being a foreigner, was not entitled under the navigation laws to act as master for any other purpose than to carry the ship to an Eng lish port, and that Smith had no right to insist on the plaintiff signing the agreement. The Lord Chief Justice at the trial had refused to entertain the ques tion of Smith's eligibility to act as master, inasmuch as the question had not been raised by the pleadings. It having been distinctly admitted in the replication that he was the master. This the Learned Counsel, on moving for his stile, contended was a misdirection, and therefore moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted, which rule he obtained. Mr. THESIGER to-day showed cause against the rule, and contended that in the state of the pleadings the direction of the Lord Chief Justice and the finding of the Jury was perfectly right. If it had been in tended to dispute Smith's authority to act as master, that matter should have been specially pleaded ; in stead of which, by putting in a replication de injuria, the plaintiff distinctly admitted that Smith was master, and, therefore, was precluded from disputing his autho rity. He further contended, that it was perfectly immaterial whether Smith was authorised to require him to sign new articles or not, inasmuch as plaintiff was bound by the old articles to Hill to proceed on the voyage. If the only evidence of mutinous con duct had been his refusal to sign the articles, a ques tion might have arisen as to whether that would have been sufficient to support the plea of justification ; but there was evidence of a refusal to proceed on the voy age unless Smith would take the ves3el into an Eng lish port, and also of having jeered those of the crew who were acting in obedience to the Captain's orders. He therefore submitted that the rule must be dis charged. Mr. JAMES, in supporting the rule, contended that the plaintiff had not been guilty of mutinous conduct. In order to prove mutinous conduct, it was necessary to prove that he had refused to obey some lawful commands of the master. Now, Smith being a foreigner, it was not competent to him, according to the Navigation Law, to act as master, except for the purpose of taking the ship into an English port, and the plaintiff had not refused to obey any commands for that purpose. Lord DENMAN thought the case was perfectly clear. The plea was that the plaintiff had been guilty of mutinous conduct. The replication admitted that Smith exercised the authority of master, and that it was proved that plaintiff had refused to work the ship in obedience to his commands, which was clearly mu tinous conduct. It was now attempted to be shown that Smith being a foreigner, was not entitled to act as master, but the question did not arise in the pleadings. The replication admitted the fact that Smith was master. If it had been intended to rely on the fact of Smith not being authorised to act as master, on the ground that he was a foreigner, the . question ought to have been raised upon the pleadings, and then, perhaps, Smith might have put in evidence to show that he was not a foreigner, and that he was fully authorised to act as master. He thought the direction of the Lord Chief Justice was right, and that the verdict was right, and therefore the rule must be discharged. The other Judges concurred.--Rule discharged. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) BOSANQUET AND OTHERS V. GRAHAM. Mr. OGLE obtained a rule nisi in another of these cases. SLADE V. THE EARL OF WALDEGRAVE. In this case the Court granted a distringas yester day, to proceed to outlawry against the defendant, who is residing in Italy. Mr. Justice PATTESON this morning sent for Mr. Peacock, who made the application, and informed him that he found the Common Pleas had determined that a distringas to proceed to outlawry would not lie against a Peer; and that it could not be granted un less the party, before the late statute of Victoria, was liable to a capias ad satisfaciendum. The case, that of Cassidy v. Steward, is reported in 9th Dowling. Mr. PEAcocit.--I understand, my Lord, that in the case of Lord Lichfield the Court granted a distringas to compel an appearance, though he was abroad, there being no other remedy. Mr. Justice PATTESON—In cases where proceed ings have been attempted against parties who were privileged, the parties have failed in consequence of not knowing what to do, because they could not pro ceed to outlawry, and it has been stated they could not have a distringas to esompel an appearance because the Court must be satisfied that the parties have kept out of the way. However, perhaps you may have a dis tringas; but what ulterior proceedings you adopt must be for your consideration. Mr. PEACOCK—Perhaps your Lordship will allow me to withdraw my motion for the present ; I will then look over the authorities, and mention the case on Monday. Mr. Justice PATTESON—Very well. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied the greater part of the morning with arguments on demurrer of no public interest. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE HENRY EDWARD MILLS. The bankrupt in this case had carried on an ex tensive business as an engineer and surveyor. He was also a joint patentee in a certain invention, for the perfecting of which he alleged that he had ex pended abuut 3,0001. The object of the invention was for the more easily preparing cotton previous to its being spun, and he stated that although he had not as yet been enabled to make a trial of its merits in consequence of his funds failing him, he was con fident that it would fully realise the object he proposed, and eventually, if carried out with spirit, realise a large sum. After a short discussion, the bankrupt was declared entitled to pass his final examination. IN RE GEORGE WOOLCOTE. The bankrupt was a corn and flour factor. The amount of his debts was stated in the schedule at 28,0001., and the assets at 7,0001. After a few proofs were admitted, the choice of as signees was proceeded with, and Messrs. Henry Allen and William Shaw were appointed. IN RI MARY OTLEY. The bankrupt had earn( d nn business as a milliner, in Saint James-street. After an investigation, wholly devoid of general interest, she passed her examination.

POT:l.7'l, 4 l'i I'A"I'I.',LLICIENCI7. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) • Joseph Treasure and James Treasure, two lirass founders, were charged before Mr. Twyford with stealing a great number of brass door-plates from the doors ih Long-acre. Officer F, No. 7, stated that he was on duty in Long-acre last night, when he observed that Mr. Chapilow's large brass plate had been nearly wrenched off, and on proceeding a little further he discovered that ,several other plates were in the same condition. In consequence of this he watched the spot, and pre sently the prisoners came stagering along the street in a pretended state of intoxication. Witness observed them stagger against Mr. Chapilow's door, and at the same time give the plate a wrench. They did this to several of the plates, and then witness took them into custody. As they were being taken to the station house, the prisoners threw several plates away, and when they were searched, a chisel was found upon them broken, and the other part was found behind Mr. Chapilon's plate. The plates were produced in court, amongst which were Mr. Chapilow's, the chairman of the Talacre Coal Company, Messrs. Jem met and Hobson's, i\liss Baker's, and a great number of others. The prisoners said nothing in their de fence, and they were fully committed for trial. Dash, who was committed at this office a few days since for robbing Mr. Helm of a cornelian stone, was charged to-day with a further robbery of some flannel, and Mrs. Helm with receiving the same. • The latter prisoner was discharged, and Dash sent for trial on the other count. MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.) Ann Sparhes, a dashingly-dressed female, was charged with refusing to pay cab hire. Robert Woolmer, a simple-looking old man, said the defendant had hired his cab last night, and ordered him to drive her to King's-cross, and afterwards to St. Pancras-road ; when there she refused to pay him, alleging that her purse was lost in the cab ; but though a light was procured it could not be found, and she was then given into custody. The prisoner said that the complainant came inside the cab, and she bad no doubt that at that time he had stolen her purse and its contents. The poor old man looked aghast at this charge, and assured the Magistrate that he could bring forward a respectable young man who was with him upon the box the whole time. Mr. LONG ordered her to pay the cab money hire, ls. Gd., and time lost, Is. 6d. more, - or go to prison. The lady, when outside, "raised a loan" upon her shawl, and paid the money. CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DA Y.) Mr. GREENWOOD, on taking Ills seat on the ben - cli, called the attention of the police of the E division to the abominable language made use of by cabmen at their stands. He often passed that in Compton-street, and never without hearing language the most obscene, or the most blasphemous. Compton-street was a genteel neighbourhood, and ladies were frequently shocked at the dialogues of cabmen. He (Mr. Greenwood) often wished to call the attention of the police to the mat ter, but never could see a policeman on duty in the neighbourhood. Let it be put a stop to at once. Sergeant Lester, E division, promised compliance. UNION HALL.--(THIS DAY.) The Boots "at the Catherine Wheel Inn, in the Borough, was charged with stealing 251. from Mr. Cloak, a retired tradesman. _ The complainant went to the above inn on the pre ceding night tipsy, and was shown to his bed-room by the prisoner. The next morning the complainant missed his purse, containing two 101. and a 51. notes, and the prisoner being the last person seen in his com pany, was suspected of the robbery. The money has not since been recovered. Several respectable persons came forward and gave the prisoner an undeniable character, and the prisoner was discharged, his master promising that he should be forthcoming, if required. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Liverpool Cotton Market was again very firm yesterday, and the sales were 5,000 bales at full prices. For Railway Shares there was more demand, but generally without any improvement in the quotations. Eastern Counties, New, were 101; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 4fi4 ; Grand Junction, 174; Lancaster and Preston, 29 ; London and Birmingham, New, 30k; and South Eastern, New, 174. Another specimen of the injury we suffered by our monopoly laws in forcing the employment of B r iti s h skill and wealth abroad, is afforded by the fact of an Association of British capitalists having been formed, as is stated, for the purpose of establishing an oil ma nufactory, to be worked by newly improved ma chinery, the motive power of which will be partly by water and partly by, steam. The Bank of England return of its average weekly liabilities and assets, from Aug. 13 to Nov. 5, shows a falling off iu its general business of nearly half a million sterling, as compared with its operations up to the Bth ultimo. The disproportion between the rate of discount, 4 per cent., charged by the Bank upon first class paper, compared with that taken in Lombard-street; will chiefly account for this. The bullion in the coffers of the establishment is steadily rising to ten millions sterling, a higher amount than they have contained for a long time past, but the profits of the propriety do not support the improvement, we had occasion to notice by the last return. The following statement will show at a glance the precise movement in the financial affairs of the Bank since the October return.

By a ship of war, we have later advices from the Cape of Good Hope—viz., to the 19th of September, and which inform us of the determination of the Lieutenant-Governor of Graham's Town to put down the Caffre depredations by very vigorous measures. There were rumours of messengers and letters from the colony being stopped and seized by parties of Boers, who appeared to command the whole country. The loss of the Waterloo transport with a large number of transports, had excited much sensation at the Cape. The Funds have remained very steady this morning at about the closing prices of yesterday afternoon. The Bank broker bought from 5,0001. to 6,0001. stock this morning on behalf of the Savings' Banks. Consols for Money have been quoted only at 94 and 941, and for the Account at 941. There has been more doing in Exchequer Bills, but the supply was rather more than equal to the demand, and the premium has in con sequence been reduced to 58s. ; India Stock has 'risen to 262, which is 21 per cent. on yesterday's prices ; Bank Stock has reached 173 again. The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have fallen to 1001 ; and the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. to 1011. There is not much to notice in the Foreign Funds to-day. Spanish Consols are dull of sale at 174; Spanish Three per Cents. are at 21i ; Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. at 521; the Five per Cents. at 100 i. ; and Belgian Five per Cents. atTlO2 ; Converted Portuguese remain at about 321 -; the Brazilian Bonds of 1839 were saleable at 56, and the Old Stock at 64. The Railway Share Market is in a drooping con dition. The Brighton have fallen to 15- discount. The Great Western are 19 premium ; the London and Brighton, Quarter Shares, 22f premium ; the South Western, 18* premium; the North Midland, 374 discount; and the Paris and Rouen, 2:1 prem.; a bargain has been made in the London and West minster Bank Shares, at 2* premium.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS !)AY.) COVENT-GARDEN MARKET. We had another large supply of Vegetables on sale. here, the period of the year considered, while the de mand for them was extremely inactive, at low rates of currency.

The generality of writers of fiction, (and Miss Landon, Mrs. Norton, and most female novelists are guilty of the fault) seem to have no higher idea of the nobility of the fair sex than to make it consist in unlimited attachment to a lover, whatever may be his errors or guilt. This perverseness has thrown • a general discredit over novels and has banished them from the work-tables and libraries of every prudent. mother. It is, therefore with uncommon pleasure that we welcome one, who, like the author of Mid summer Eve, has more lofty, and we will say cor recter notions of the true dignity of woman. In Anne Granville and Annot Palmer he has contrived to draw two most fascinating characters, one of whom is supposed entirely file from passion, while the other flings away her affection like a worthless weed the moment she finds the object of it has been guilty of an unworthy action. This is as it should be ; for it is as true to nature, as it is the proper creed to be en forced. These two characters may rank with the Miranda and the Portia of Shakspeare, the Minna and Brenda of Sir W. Scott, and though last, not least, with the Anne Elliott of June Austen.

Enraged at this, he dragged her out of bed, beat her, and after stamping on her chest and stom ac h, went away, leaving her in a state of insensibility, It is supposed the poor creature managed to get into bed in again, for the next day she wa s l bund an almost dying state.

She shortly after expired. These circumstances becoming known, information we's given at the Moor -street station, and steps were taken for his apprehension. The poor woman has left two children, one by Doyle, and one by a former husband, to deplore her loss. • CORNISH ENGINES.—The number of pumping engines reported this month is 41.

MONUMENT TO TiE SCOTCH REFORMERS At the usual week;y meeting of the Marylebtne Vestry this day, after the disposal of the routine business, Mr. POTTER, on the part of the Committee ap pointed to take into consideration Mr. Hume's propo sition respecting the erection of a monument to the Scotch Reformers, read the Report to the following effect :—" That a Committee was appointed by the Vestry on the 30th of July last, to take into conside ration and report upon the letter from Joseph Hume, Esq., suggesting that a spot of ground within the parish be appropriated for an intended monumen tal column, to be erected by subscription, to the memory of the Scotch Reformers of 1793. Your Committee now report that they are of opinion that it is expedient to accede to Mr. Hume's proposition for providing a spot ofground within the parish for the contemplated monumental column, and they recommended the Vestry to grant permission ; accordingly your Committee further re port that, in their opinion, the most appropriate add useful site in the parish would be the Regent Circus, Oxford-street ; accordingly they recommend the sanction of the Vestry for the purpose." The Report was signed by John Wilson, Chairman, and the seve ral members of the Committee. Mr. HUMS, M.P., then rose, and requested the Chairman's permission to make a few observations, as he had originated the matter before the. Vestry. He observed one mistake in the Report. It was said he had spoken of a memorial to Scotch Reformers, where as the Reformers he had in view were both Scotchmen and Englishmen. He had not noticed the mistake until that moment, and he wished it to be corrected. As he was the party from whom the letter came, he wished to state the reasons why he thought the Vestry ought to agree to the Report; and having done that much, he should leave them to decide as they thought proper. In the first place, he thought that the erec tion of the column would be a compliment to the parish—(Hear, hear)—which had, under the Reform Bill, obtained its influence as a Parliamentary consti tuency. He was very happy that it fell to his lot to have' the opportunity of making this proposition.— (Hear.) At the time when the proceedings took place to which the memorial was intended to refer, he was pursuing his studies in Edinburgh. That was in 1792-3, and he was at that time occupied with study ing for his profession, and meddled but little with po litical matters ; yet the injustice which was.done to those men, Muir, Palmer, and the others, at the time imbued him with opinions and sentiments which he would ever maintain, that the people had a right to be fully represented in the Legislature.—(Cheers.) He lamented at the time the course which the Govern ment took, and he then resolved that if ever he should have an opportunity, he would endeavour to erect what should serve as a beacon against the recurrence of such transactions.—(Hear, hear.) It was therefore that he had called the meeting at the Crown and Anchor, when his appeal was promptly responded to, and 1,2001. was collected in a few weeks in very small sums. The resolution come to at that meeting was that the money subscribed should be appropriated to the erection of a monument in honour of the live men. It was to be observed that Muir and Palmer were Scotchmen, but the other three were Englishmen. Those five victims, however, were tried in Scotland, and it was attempted to carry out the same persecution in England, but the attempt failed, and the number of victims was limited to those five individuals. Now as to Muir, be (Mr. H.) wished it to be understood that he should be the last man in the world that would do anything to commemorate an immoral act, or anything which would do an injury to a human being, or to society; but the conduct of Muir and his fellow sufferers involved no such thing. These men were brought to trial for endeavouring to procure an ex tension of the suffrage, and for denouncing the cor rupt state Of the Scotch burghs.—(Hear, hear.) It was said, indeed, upon the trial, that Muir had lent to somebody a copy of Paine's " Age of Reason ;" but Mr. Muir very justly observed upon the trial, in respect to the charge that that was not the ques tion—that he was on his trial because he had advo cated the principle that Englishmen had a right to equal government, and that class legislation should be abolished.—(Hear, hear.) To effect this purpose, the best men of the country were at that time associated in England, and those gentlemen were only a depu tation from the English Reformers to obtain the co operation of:those in Scotland.—(Hear.) He did not wish to go into long details upon the subject at this time ; but, however, he would show the Vestry what were the opinions held respecting it by the very best men in the country at that day. He would then leave it to the Vestry to say whether they would erect the column to these victims or not.—(Hear, hear.) It was intended by the Committees, who had re ceived the subscription, to send one moiety to defray the expenses of a monument in Edinburgh, and to apply the remainder to a similar purpose here. He repeated that he thought the erection of the monu ment within this parish was the greatest compliment to Marylebone which had been one of the first loca lities in the kingdom to obtain the advantages of reform, for which those men had suffered ; and if they were culpable in their exer tions, so ' also was every man in that parish who had taken an active part in carrying' out Reform.—(Hear, hear.) He did not propose this as any monument to party, but only as a beacon for' all future ages, to warn against in justice, and to perpetuate the remembrance of what those men said on their death-beds. One and all said that they' did it for a cause which would one day be successful.—(Hear, hear.) In the year 1794, Mr. Adam, in the House of Com moms, stated that he had been in Edinburgh on the day after the sentence had been passed on Muir and Palmer. He had conversed with some of the most eminent men of the place, amongst whom was his Learned Friend Mr. Henry Erskine, who said that the sentence was not only un just and tyrannical, but illegal. He (Mr. H.) would not tell them who Mr. Henry Erskine was.— (Hear, hear.) But Mr. Adams added that he was a legal gentleman, whose opinion was as worthy of respect as that of any man. on the Government side of the House of Commons.— (Hear, hear.) On the 31st of June Lord Stanhope in the House of Lords moved for an address to his Majesty to stay proceedings against them, and the others, on the ground that the sentences were illegal and oppressive —(hear, hear)—and whilst the prisoners were on board the hulks, they were visited by Lord Lauderdale, Lord Holland, and by Mr. Grey, and other Members of the House of Commons, who paid them every' respect, and showed, that in their opinion at least, they were not culpable men. All Englishmen were political men, and it was the privilege of Englishmen to differ in their opinions upon public matters. In despotic States, indeed, every man was obliged to agree with the opinion of the party in power, but it was the privilege of a free country for men to differ with one another, and to indulge each other in difference of opinion. —(Hear, hear.) There were many persons in that Vestry, who enter tained opinions on politics opposed to his. Would it not be a monstrous injustice if the party who had the majority there were able to punish anv man who differed from them in political opinions? • With respect to the sentences upon the victims in question, and the subsequent treatment of those men, Mr. Fox, in the House of Commons, gave it as his decided opinion, that it was illegal and repugnant to every prin ciple of justice and of the Constitution. Mr. Sheridan presented a petition against the sentence from Mr. Fyshe Palmer, a relative of the condemned gentleman. and in doing so Mr. Sheridan said, that if such a sen tence had taken place in England, he should wonder il the whole kingdom were not to rise in arms against it. Mr. Fox in two or three days after s a id, th a t h e h a d read the report of the proceedings over and over again, and he could not persuade himself that they did really take place, and he dared the Lord-Advocate to stand up in his place in the House of Commons and avow the same opinions which he had declared upon the trial.—(Cheers.) On the same occasion Mr. Fox reminded Mr. Pitt of the sentiments which the Right Hon. Gentleman had formerly avowed on the subject of reform. He (Mr. II.) had collated the words carefully, and they might be put into the mouth of Muir, for they could not run more close than they did with the language for which he was upon his trial.— (Hear.) He (Mr. H) then read a letter from a Noble Lord, unhappily now no more, Lord Vassal Rolland.lt was dated South-street, ovember, 1830, and it was signed Vassal Holland. It inclosed subscriptions for the monument to the five persons who were sentenced to transportation in Scotland, in 1793 and' 1794, when (in the words of the noble writer) transportation for polka' offences was for the first time introduced in England. The Noble Lord said he felt pleasure in giving his suppport to the proposed plan, and he thought that moment particularly fortunate, as Parliament was that day employed in amending the law of "Leasing-making," under which those gentle men had been persecuted. (The reading of the letter was followed by much applause.) Mr. Hume had received letters of a' similar kind from other noblemen and friends of liberty, but he did not think he could add anything to that of Lord Holland. —(Hear, hear.) Now, as this matter had been long before the Vestry, he thought it was desir able that it should be settled. Life is short; and for his Dart he should be sorry to go to h:s grave without seeing the monument erected.—(Laughter and applause.) He had been a living witness of the benefits derived from one course . of Government, and he had seen the evils which had floe ed from time other.—(Hear, hear.) He was one of the least vindictive of men; indeed, he did not think that any Tory in England was his enemy. He was the enemy of no man. He separated all national and con stitutional questions from petty, paltry pique of personalities and faction.—(Hear and cheers.) With regard to what might take place in the Vestry, it was not his intention to give any vote, but he would suggest, however, that the Vestry should appoint a Committee of three to co-operate with him and his two colleagues, who had- chosen Mr. Donaldson, the architect, to pre pare a design. After the Joint Committee should have agreed upon a situation, then their choice should be submitted to the Vestry ; for it was their desire to erect such a monument as would be best suited to the locality. In conclusion, he laid upon the table cer tain papers, which he had collected with great care, and which contained the opinions of the great men who were contemporary with Mr. Muir and his fellow-sufferers, from which the Vestry might judge for themselves. The llon. Gen tleman sat down amidst much applause. After a short discussion the motion was carried, there being 11 against it, and 44 for it. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO WALMER CASTLE. WALMER, FRIDAY EVENING.—This morning, at sunrise, the Royal standard was hoisted on the tower of Walmer Castle, announcing the presence of the Sovereign. At nine o'clock the Thunderer line-of-battle ship, under the command of Captain Pring, manned the yards, arid saluted her Majesty with a discharge of one-and-twenty guns. The Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert rose this morning at their usual early hour, and break fasted at half-past eight o'clock. At half-past nine her Majesty and the Prince, un attended, walked on the Wellington Beach upwards of half an hour, notwithstanding there was a stiff gale blowing S.S.W. Several heavy showers came on in the afternoon, which prevented her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert from taking a carriage airing. The Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal are in excellent health, but have not left the Castle to-day, in consequence ofthe unfavourable state of the weather. The Royal dinner-circle this evening was the same as yesterday, including those only in the suite of her Majesty and his Royal Highness :—Viscount Lord Sydney and Lady Portman, the Lord and Lady in Waiting; Lord Charles Wellesley and Col. Wylde, the Lord and Equerry in Waiting ; the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, the Hon. C. A. Murray, and Dr. Prcetori us. His Grace the Duke of Wellington, after receiving her Majesty and the Prince at Walmer Castle last night, took his departure for Dover Castle. Captain Watts as Captain of Wahner Castle, will a3t in his official during his Grac e ' s absence. The only additions to the Royal dinner-party to morrow, it is expected, will be Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. Anson, Lady C. Cocks, and the Hon. Miss Devereux. Should the weather prove favourable, his Royal Highness Prince Albert will visit Dover Castle and other places of importance on this part of the ( oast. To-morrow morning (Saturday) his Grace the Duke of Wellington will leave Dover Castle for Strathfieldsaye. The Annual Harbour Sessions was held at Dover to-day, at which the Duke of Wellington presided. DOVER. (PROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) OCT. IL—His Grace the Duke of Wellington ar rived last night at the Ship Inn, having received her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert at the boundary of the Cinque Ports, and having from thence attended the Royal party to Walmer Castle. This morning at eleven, his Grace presided at a meeting of the Commissioners of Dover I3larbour, at which, besides the usual business relative to the main tenance of the port, and the improvements now carry ing on, some interesting matters would, it was under. stood, be discussed, An application from the South Eastern Railway Company, for a site for the Dover terminus, will be considered, and, it is reported, with much favourable disposition ; and some ingenious plans with reference .to the proposed harbour of re fuge, are to be submitted to the consideration of the board. It is expected the Lord IVarden will leave Dover to morrow for Apsley House, en route for Strathfieldsaye. The weather to-day is very unfavourable for her Majesty's visit to Walmer, but she was on the beach this morning before 9 o'clock, walking towards Kings down, accompanied only by her Illustrious Consort. THE LONDON CAOUTCHOUC COMPANY. , Yesterday the investigation which was entered upon before Sir Peter Laurie at the Mansion-house this day week, and adjourned to this day, for the purpose of enabling Mr. Samuel Morley, of the firm of Morley and Co., 18, Wood-street, Cheapside, to procure the evidence necessary for establishing his charges against the above Company, was resumed at the Guildhall Police-court, the body of which, with all the ante-rooms, was crowded to excess, chiefly by the retail boilers of the metropolis, whose- interests were the more immediately concerned, from the fact of their having been selected as the defendants in cer tain bills filed in Chancery, for infringing the rights of the Company's patent. At the request of Sir Peter Laurie the contending parties ranged themselves on opposite sides of the Court. Previous to entering upon the case, Mr. Ilindmarsh said he appeared on behalf of Mr. Wight, the Com pany's solicitor, and totally objected to Sir Peter Laurie's assumed jurisdiction of the case. Mr. Clarkson said he appeared on behalf of Mr. Leaf, of the firm of Leaf, Cole, and Company, of the Old 'Change, to vindicate his character from the charges which had been made against it at the last hearing. That gentleman was the largest sharehol der in this Company, and he never wished that the retail dealers should be punished for the violation of the patent, but rather that the wholesale dealers were those who should be sued in law. Mr. Warwick said he had been sued for alleged in fringement of the patent in selling India rubber braces, and on applying to Mr. Leaf, he said it was a great hardship upon him, and that he (Mr. Leaf) would make application to have him put to as little expense as possible. Sir PETER LAURIE said, after this, if he was in Mr. Leaf's place he would cause the removal of Mr. Wight from his office as solicitor. Mr. Clarkson—He could not do so, as Mr. Wight's name was inserted in the deedsincorporating the Com pany. The Learned Gentleman then appealed to Sir Peter Laurie as a Magistrate, whether he was justi fied, as a matter either of gratification of private or public curiosity, in thus interfering in the matter. Sir P. LAURIE said, when he recollected the case of the Wallaces and others, and also the numerals Bubble Companies which he caused:to burst, he thought in the present instance he was employed yi ith iiir greater advantage to the public than in hearing a charge of picking pockets. Mr. Hindmarsh said the company was first established in November, 1826, and in July, 1837, purchased those letters patent for the infringement of which the bills in Chancery were filed. The names of all those who were either members or Directors were registered under the Act of Parliament, and any person by application at the Court of Chancery would be at once informed on this subject, and yet it was said on the other side that Mr. Leaf alone was the only pro prietor. There had been several suits in Chancery against manufacturers, and injunctions granted for violating the patent. Sir P. LAURIE—TeII me one case. Mr. Hindmarsh—Messrs. Foster, Porter, and Co., were the only firm he could at the moment call to mind, but it was well known to almost every hosier in the metropolis, as a great many of them were examined before the Master of the Rolls. The great body of the hosiers could not plead ignorance, or tax Mr. \'light with undue severity in protecting the right of the patentees, for when the tariff came into operation he caused an advertisement to be inserted in the several Morning Papers, headed " The Tariff," and cautioning all persons against vending those pirated articles , even in foreign goods. Sir PETER L AU RIE—It appears to me that there was more anxiety to compromise than to go on with the suits. Mr. Ilindmarsh totally denied this assertion. The smallest amount Mr. Wight was entitled to charge was 551. 145.10 d. for his costs, vet, as a matter of pure consideration towards the retail - hosiers in the greater number of instances, he only charged the mere costs out of pocket.—(Laughter.) Mr. Morley's object was to get up a show at the Mansion-house, and thus through the Press try to bring the Company into con tempt, and not to bring any definite or tangible charge against any individual which could be fairly met. Mr. Wight was unable to come at the parties who manu factured the goods, and therefore was compelled to seek redress for the Company through the retail dealers. He would conclude by asking what, and against whom, was the charge brought. Mr. Morley contended that there were cases which he should bring forward that would prove Mr. Leaf had not interfered in the manner represented to stop the law proceedings. The Company should have acted as Messrs. Chubb, the eminent locksmiths, who, when they found their patent rights had been in fringed upon, instead of attacking the retail dealers, at once found out the manufacturer, whom they made amenable, and advertised the fact so extensively, that no man could afterwards plead ignorance. The same course was pursued by Messrs. Elliott and ho Co., ' satetoment that the wh o l e t ra d e. To at Mr. Leaf had show sent lithographic the fallacy o c f i r t c h u e l a i s interposed his influence as a proprietor of nearly one-third of the shares, he (Mr. Morley) would state, that on the 10th of October Mr. Lord, of the Bur lington-arcade was sued f or an i nfr i ngement o f th e patent, and Mr. Lord's brother a died immediately. to Mr. Leaf, who expressed regret at the circum stance, yet in three weeks afterwards further pro ceedings were taken,. for the costs of which he coin promised by paying 281., and therefore it was evident that Mr. Leaf did not exercise the power he pos sessed. He should 'conclude by calling on the several gentlemen connected with the hosiery trade who had been persecuted by the Company, and also upon Lir. Hambro, of Panton-street, Haymarket, who would solemnly affirm that the article manufactured by the Company, and that which was sold to the shops by the town travellers of some of the most respectable houses in the City, was so like in every respect, that it was impossible for even the individual who manu factured the fabric for the Company to decide upon the original or the pirated article. A lady, who stated herself to be one of the firm cf Gay and Evans, of Cornhill, which compromised the Chancery suit for 201., here stepped forward to state the circumstances of the compromise, when, Mr. Clarkson asked—ls there any other lady from the street wishes to come in ?—(A volley of groans, hisses, and exclamations of " Turn him out, turn him out," followed the question, and from this moment it was almost impossible to catch a word he said, as the groaning was renewed whenever he attempted to speak.) Mr. Brackhill said a person came to his shop and bought a pair of braces, for the sale of which he was served with a writ, and having a terror of a Chancery suit, he compromised the matter by paying 12/. A number of other hosiers having given evidence to the same effect, amongst whom were Messrs. Burch, who paid 201., I3eale 21/.. Wilson 25/., Sir PETER LAURIE inquired whether Mr. Leaf would promise to prevent any future proceedings being taken against the retail dealers, and cause one case to be selected and argued in the Court of Chancery, whereby the right would be decided. Mr. Leaf said he would do so. In case any future proceedings were instituted, he would withdraw from the Company that moment.—(Loud cheers.) Several persons here attempted to address Sir Peter Laurie at the same moment, and, after a scene of con fusion, such as seldom is witnessed in a police Court, the investigation terminated. TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION. (From the Sheffield Iris of this day.) About two o'clock on Monday morning the inhabi tants of Abbey Dale, near Sheffield, were suddenly awoke by a loud noise and violent shock, sufficiently strong to shake the houses adjoining Mr. Dyson 's grinding-wheel, the building containing which was shortly discovered, to have been literally blown up with gunpowder. Upon Price, the forgeman, hearing the noise, he and his wife immediately jumped out of bed, and fetched Mr. Dyson to see what was the matter; and ,upon examining the grinding-wheel it presented a scene that is rarely witnessed in a country not at war. The building is about eighteen yards in length, by eight or nine in width, with gable ends ; the roof, which was covered with stone-slating, being supported by four strong beams. The whole of the walls were built of solid stone, and the window case ments were made of iron, glazed with small panes of glass. Along the south side of the building runs a long bench, called the buffing bench, about fur feet wide and the same height from the ground, and under this bench, about seven yards from the west end of the place, were discovered the remains of an exploded barrel of gunpowder. This seems to have been cho sen by the incendiaries on account of its close proxi mity to the great wheel, which is turned by a water fall, and which wheel puts into motion all the ma chinery used in carrying on the business. The door had evidently been forced open with a crowbar. The whole of the stone slating on the roof was completely blown to atoms—each of the gable ends of the build ing blown outwards. from top to bottom, and the storms composing the west wall lying in almost the same regular order as when first laid by the builder. Part of the skylight was blown about 20, yards off into the Abbey Dale dam, a fine piece of tvater con tiguous to the building. That part of the buffing bench under which the explosion took place was, of course, not to be found. The object of the explosion was to destroy most effectually the grinding-whca and its attendant machinery, with anything else that might happen to be within reach of the explosion. In the cottage occupied by Price, the forgeman, the cup board was shaken and a pane of glass out of one of the windows. Part of the iron casement was picked up about 30 yards from the building. Mr. Dyson, it seems, had not insured the pre mises, nor have we yet heard the amount at which the damage is estimated; although it will probably not exceed 4001. or 5001. Amongst the grinders there exists a union, and if any master employ men who are not members of this union, a decree is fOrthwith issued that such master "is to be served out," i.e., he is to have either his dwelling-house or place of busi ness blown up with gunpowder, or some other matter of a combustible nature. In this case, Mr. Dyson had two men in his service who, though industrious and efficient workmen, did not elong to the union, and therefore Mr. Dyson came under the displeasure of the men who compose the committee appointed by this union. From some circumstances which have not yet tran spired before the public, three men were apprehended on Monday and Tuesday, viz., William and George Thorpe, and Thomas Richardson. They were taken before the sitting Magistrates, Mr. Overend and Mr. Bagshawe, on -Tuesday, at the Town-hall, and were remanded until Friday, on the application of Mr. Pal freyman, solicitor for the prosecution. \lr. Broomhead defended the prisoners, who were advised to hold their peace. They were accordingly brought up again yesterday. The explosion has caused an immense sensation In the neighbourhood ; and it is even stated on good authority, that 1001 b. of gunpowder were fired at once, to effect the diabolical object of which we have given a description. FIRES IN THE COUNTRY. It is with infinite regret that we announce the almost total destruction by fire of the extensive corn steam-mills belonging to Messrs. G. and W. Panton, at Odd Rode, in this county. The fire broke out soon after twelve o'clock on the night of Saturday, the sth of November, and in the course of three hours the mills, warehouses, &c., were a mass of burn ing ruins. The fire is supposed to have originated in some of the machinery connected with the cleansing department, as it broke out in the highest story of the mill, and burnt downwards with great fury. Th engine-house and the valuable machinery connected with it are saved, but a heavy loss will b e sustained in wheat, oats, flour, cheese, and potatoes. The property we have understood to be insured in one office, but not to half of its real value. A large number of per sons connected with the steam-mills are for the present thrown out of employ —Chester Chronicle. BARNSLEY.—Our Barnsl e y I . correspondent observes, "It is with deep regre t that have to announce the total destruction, by fire, of the larg factory belong ing to Mr. J. Norton, at Clayton West. A large part of the factory was filled with warping mills, power-looms, and other machinery, which burnt with irresisible fury, and with a qu antity of cott o n yarn and fabrics in process of manufacture. The damage is estimated at nearly 20,0001., a considerable part of which is not insured. By this calamity many bun dreds of hands will be thrown out of employment, as we understand Mr. Norton gave employment to about 2,000 people, chiefly in manufacturing shawls, Orleans cloths, merinoes, and fancy waisteoatings. How the fire originated has; not been ascertained, but it is be lieved to have been accidental."--Doncasier Gazette. INCENDIARISM.—Orr Monday evening two cases of this lamentable practice occurred at Loughborough. The first broke out about eight o'clock,. in a ba . rn, in Garendon-lane, just at the back of the prenn.;es of Mr. W. Middleton. The barn was burnt down, with the exception of the walls, together with a quantity of straw and a plough, which had been placed in it. Before this fire was half burnt out, si,bright light was seen to rise into the air in t he direction of the Lough borough meadows. It was found toe a barn and a hovel on fire, the prope rt y of Mr. A. Brewin, in the Bottle-acres. When the first p erson arrived o n the spot, the roof of the barn was in flames from end to end, and the hovel just taking fire. The barn con tained 14 quarters of barley, thrashed and e unthrasl d. We understand that the property was not insured in this instance, though in the former it was. —Notting. ham Review. INCENDIARISM.—We regret to state that a cow house and hay-rick; in a field at Cotham, near Hun gerford, belonging to Mr. Rules, butcher, of Christ • etas-street, were burnt down on Friday afternoon ; and, as no fire is ever carried near the spot, it is be lieved to be the act of an incendiary. It was speedily reduced to ashes.—Devises G azette. BOLLAM.—On the evening of Thursday last, a little before six o'clock,. the_ inhabitants of Retford were somewhat alarmed by the cry of " fire," which proved to be at a small farm near Bollam, in the occupation of an industrious man named Whale ; and we regret to state that before the fire could be got under two small stacks of clover were entirely consumed. There is no knowledge as to how the fire originated, and we are sorry to add that the whole was not insured.— Doncaster Gazette. A Commission of Lunacy was yesterday opened in Red Lion-square, to inquire into the state of mind of Miss Mary Anne Cowderoy, aged 54, a maiden lady of large property of New Brompton, in the county of Middlesex. Among various delusions, the principal one was, that some one intended to poison her, and that a very tall black man was after her. She was apprehensive of being dragged away to prison under some obsolete Act 300 or 400 years old. One night she went out to walk as late as twelve o'clock, and when she came back said she had been washing her stockings in a ditch. The Jury returned - a verdict— " That Miss Mar Ann Cowderoy was of unsound mind and incapable of managing herself or her CWII affairs, and had been so from August 5, 1842."
