chan—first, by the sea and the river of Tsientang, a route which sand banks and rapid tides render most difficult, if not impracticable ; secondly, by inland water, from Chinghai and Ningpo to the shore opposite the capital, carrying us past Shanhing and several other fortified towns, and meeting interruptions in some places of locks that must be ascended ; and thirdly, by land route from Chapoo, upon a carefully preserved causeway, whereof we possess rather well drawn native maps, and which we have reason to be lieve good, and of sufficient width for artillery. Of these routes a question can scarcely arise as to which will be found the best to advance upon. A distance of about fifty miles of sea, measured on a line drawn northward and westward, separates Chinghai from Chapoo ; and a somewhat greater dis tance of causeway has to be travelled over be fore reaching Hangchan from this latter place. But the town of Chap° once taken (and it can be come at by the guns of the British ships, as the Algerine proved in 1840), and its hills once crossed, there is little other than a large tract of plain ground, with perhaps only small streams intersecting it, to be passed over in the march thence upon Hang chan. The city of Kiahing Fu lies, howeve , not far from this route, nor man y m il es di s t an t f rom Chapoo, and here the main force of the Chinese left wing will have to be encountered. Its centre rests upon Hang chan, and " the rich and beautiful country about ninety miles in length," that lies between it and Suchen, on either side of the grand canal, The chief position of its right wing is Shanhing, a large city, situated, as already mentioned, on a branch of the river Tsaungo, and about midway between Ningpo and Hangchan— from which advanced parties have been frequently pushed out to Yuvau and Tsz'ki, chief towns of dis tricts on the north bank of the Ningpo river, situated between that river and the sand banks of the embou chure of the Tsientang. With the centre of this extended Chinese force we find, surrounding himself with every sensual indul gence, the Imperial High Commissioner, Yiking, "awe-inspiring General, a Minister of the Cabinet of Six, a President of the Tribunal of Civil Office," and a nephew or cousin of the Emperor, attended by a galaxy of high provincial officers, the Tartar General, the Governor, &c. &c., and by two joint Commis sioners, by name Teishun and Wan Wei, to whom a third has lately been added, and a multitude of " cour tiers," or officers sent immediately to the presence of the Emperor. Kishen, too, would have been of the number (for he is among the friends of Yiking), but for the strongly urged remonstrances, as we are led to believe, o f the Governor, Liu Yunko. With the left wing, at Kiaking-fu is Huchau, another joint commissioner, who, having gained rank and nobility by the war of 1831 against Jenanguir and his Turks, at Cashgar and Yarkand in the farthest avest, hopes now to adorn himself with honours wrested by his own right hand from the English on the sea coasts of the east. At Shauhing, with the right wing, is Chin Kiaiping, an aged man, lately retir e d frornthe chief command in Fukien, but now again called forth as joint Commissioner and Commander in-Chief in Chekiang ; with whom are associated the active and intelligent old General, Yu Puy-un, late Commander-in-Chief of the provincial force, and all those who, with him, retired defeated from Chinghai and Ningpo, after the death of that savage self-confident generalissimo, Yukien. Under these numerous officers are assembled many thousands of select troops, from almost every province of the empire, foremost among whom stands a detachment of the Imperial Guards—a body of the men of Kansu, tall and athletic inheritors of the blood of Mohamme dan Turks and Tartars —and a band of aborigines from the mountain fastnesses of Hukwang or of Sz'chuen, called forth now to meet the new invaders of the country, from whose plains they themselves have by former invaders been long since expelled. Against this whole force we find marshalled, und-r the Gallant Lieutenant-General and Vice-Admiral Sir Hugh Gough and Sir William Parker, besides the necessary detachments of Royal and Madras Ar tillery and Engineers, only four regiments of Foot, the 18th, 26th, 49th, and 55th (none of them com plete), and two battalions from the Navy, consisting of Royal Marines and seamen. And of so small an array portions must yet be left to rest upon Chinghai and Tinghai, while the main body is moving forward to meet the left and centre of the Chinese army. That army met and worsted, its right will alone remain, hemmed in, resourceless, between the division of the British force at Chinghai and at Hangchan—and quickly as the dew it must dissolve away. But so dispelled it will become yet more formidable than in its entirety, if, instead of withdrawing from one field of battle to seek elsewhere another, the British forces should repose from their toils amid the scattered but not subjected multitudes of the enemy. Blow must succeed rapidly to blow, if final success is to be hoped for. It was by the windmills in active motion that the redoubtable Don Quixote was worsted ; he might have come off scatheless in the collision with them, in the calm and, idle rest of a breathless summer's day.— canton Press, June 4. CEIUSAN. The city of Tinghae has again reverted to Chislese government (the whole British force left does not ex ceed 300 men). Chinese troop; are fast collecting, and it is expected that before long an attack will be made on this small force, which is already obliged to keep closely within the encampment, as any one mov ing beyond it is immediately attacked. Watering parties from the camp have been fired at by the Chi nese, who indeed do ally imitheir power to annoy the garrison. Fireships have on , ' several occasions, since the force left for Chapoo, been sent upon the ship ping, but fortunately got rid of without damage. We have not heard whether the still smaller garrison at Chinghai is exposed to the same annoyances; this is, however very likely, although their post i 3 more easily defended. The garrison left at Amoy, or rather on Kolungsoo, is equally small. That Tinghae should thus be again in possession of the Chinese is contrary to the promise given by Sir Henry Potting•er. On the 2d day of October, 1841, her Majesty's Plenipotentiary informed her Britannic Majesty's suhjects, "that under no circum stance will Tinghae and its dependencies be restored to the Chinese Government, until the whole of the demands of England are not only complied with, but carried into effect." Yet although, as has been seen, the harbour of 1 Tinghae has been declared a - free port, the town is again in the possession of the Chinese, and whatever hopes merchants may have hod of extending their trade to the northward, they are, for the present at least, crushed ; for it may well be supposed that, unpro tected by the military, no merchant or trader could possibly venture into the city of Tinghae or any part of the island. We much regret that Sir H. Gough should have again left Tinghae in possession of the Chinese Government, hut hope that as the force now is arriving daily, that city will again betaken full pos session of, and never relinquished until all differ ences with the Chinese Government are at an end, and that means will be taken to organise the British Government all over the island. The Commander-in- Chief must have considered the whole of the force under his command as absolutely necessary for the military operation he had in view, or he would never have acted so directly contrary to the pledge given to the public by her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, who, we know on good authority, is much vexed at the de fection of Tinghae ; and it must be a matter of regret that his Excellency was not on the spot, to prevent by his advice a step which savours too much of vacil lation.—Canton Press, June 4. The French frigate Erigone. Captain Cecille, has arrived at Chusan ; and lately destroyed a fire-vessel which the Chinese had sent against the shipping. We are sorry to learn that another officer, whose name our informant did not know, has lately, when out riding- alone beyond the lines, been seized by the Chinese, and probably strangled, this fate at least met an. unfortunate private of the 49th, who by a woman was allured beyond the lines of the encampment, instantly seized by the Chinese, and strangled on the spot. A detach m-mat was immediately sent by Sir Hugh Gough in pursuit of the perpetrators of this cruel and cowardly act, and a mandarin with a blue button and 24 soldiers were made prisoners, and we understand there is no doubt they are the same party who had committed the murder. We cannot but regret that summary justice was not inflicted where the outrage had been committed, so as by salutary dread to pre vent the repetition of these murders, which have, we are sorry to say, been but too numerous already, and been allowed to pass over without punishment. During the occupation of Ningpo a number of soldiers have been enticed away, and there can be little doubt of their fate. The last intended victim was luckily detected bound hand an l foot in a boat, when just about to be carried away. Had the first of these outrages been followed ty a severe but just retaliation, it is to be supposed many of the others would not have been committel. Instead, however, of striking awe into the Chinese by the im mediate execution of some of the 2.5 prison-rs, they have by Sir Hugh Gough been sent in the transport Catharine Stewart, Forbes, to, Hong Kong, where they arrived a few days since, and where, we sup pose, punishment awaits them—a punishment which will be one of revenge and not of justice, and the principal object, that of setting a severe example, and thereby protecting for the future the lives of our people, will not be attained. —Mid.

(From the Leeds Mercury.) _ We announced in the greater part of our impression last week, that the Congress of the German Commercial League, recently assembled at Stuttgardt, had resolved to raise the duties on Mixed Worsted and Cotton goods from 30 dollars per cwt. to 50 dollars per cwt. This in - formation so far anticipated all the ordinary commercial and political advices, that some of our readers have sup posed we must have been misinformed; and a Bradford Contemporary of Thursday takes upon himself to lecture us for disturbing the mercantile community by inaccurate statements. Unhappily our information was but too correct —as correct as it was early: it proceeded from a source which could not be mistaken, and which was likely to an ticipate other sources of information. Our mercantile friends at Bradford have not yet received advices of the intended change from their Continental correspondents; and we assure them it is with most sincere pain that we perform the task of communicating to them such unfa vourable news. It was, however, our duty to publish what we knew to be the fact on this very important sub ject; and it is now our disagreeable duty to follow it up with the following particulars. The decisions of the Congress have been exceedingly hostile to English interests—hostile to a degree which ought to engage the serious attention of the English Government; especially as the contemplated changes have been kept so secret that e yen the Prussian Minister in London told Sir Robert Peel he knew nothing of them, and hoped that no such designs were entertained, even after they were known to our merchants, and had been fully published in the columns of this paper. The resolutions of the Congress of the "Zalvereirt" have not yet been officially published, nar were they signed by the delegates at Stuttgardt until the 29th of September. We are, however, enabled to state the fol lowing particulars :- Ist. There will be a small increase of duty on Cotton WARPS (though the proposal for a great increase of duty ou Cotton YARNS has for the present been defeated.) 2d. English and French Quincaillerie goods, that is, the Hardware goods of Birmingham, &c., will be placed under a considerably higher daty,—probably an addition of not less than 50 dollars per cwt. 3d. and most important. 'Manufactured goods of Worsted, Worsted and Cotton mired, fancy woven and printed, dyed and grey, are in future to pay a duty of 50 dollars per cwt. The only exceptions under this head are all plain worsted fabrics, such as merinos, saxonies, and lastings, which, together with woollen cloths and plain kerseymeres, will remain at the former rate of duty, namely 30 dollars per cwt. These are the principal changes. The tariff will be published officially in a short time, when the exact terms of it will appear. It is not known how soon the increased duties will come into effect. The articles which will be principally affected are ma nufactured in Yorkshire and some parts of Lancashire ; they may be enumerated as follows— Figured Merinos. Printed Merinos. Dyed and printed Muslins de laine. Printed Saxonies. Dyed, printed, and figured Orleans. Figured Alpacas. Figured Parisians and Chusans. Crapes of all kinds, fancy and printed Lastings. Stoekinetts, fancy Pantaloon Stuffs. Summer Cloths. Fancy Buckskins, Cassinetts. Fancy Worsted and Cotton Valentias, &c. It is too well known to persons interested in the woollen manufacture that the articles on which no in crease of duty has now taken place, have within a very few years been subjected to duties so heavy as al most or entirely to exclude them from the German markets. Cloths and kerseymeres have ceased to he exported to Germany, and the place of those goods had been taken by the above fancy articles, of various kinds and texture. The object of the League evi dently is to dispense with English manufactures as fast as they can: The duties are, therefore, now raised enormously on all the fabrics we have specified ; and even printed or figured worsted goods, though unmixed with cotton or any other substance, are subjected to the increased duty ; which is a step beyond what was ex pected to have been proposed to the Congress. The duty on a piece of 6-quarter figured merino, costing at present in the dyed state about 305., will be very nearly 155., i.e. 50 per cent. ad valorem. It is feared by persons engaged in the trade, tha many of the articles we have named, and which consti tute the great bulk of our woollen and worsted exports to Germany, will be quite excluded by the increased duties. The object of the League is to force the manu factures of Prussia and Saxony. In Saxony, plain and figured worsted goods of various kinds are already made, and, with the additional protection now given, they will soon come into extensive use, to the exclusion of the English stuffs. But a more formidable Power than Saxony is at the bottom of this hostile measure. Prussia, notwithstand ing all the liberal professions of her Government, has been the main-spring of the movement ; and it may help to explain the conduct of this Government, when we state that the King of Prussia himself is the real head (our inform an t c a ll s him " the owner") of a trading com pany formed at Berlin under the firm of " die Seehund luny," which has erected a very large manufactory fur plain and fancy worsted goods on the principle of our power-loom concerns in Yorkshire. Of course this com pany hopes to supply Germany with a great part of the goods heretofore imported from England ; and it is pro bable th it the smaller manufacturers in Germany will soon feel the pr oximity of their mighty rival. The Prussian Ambassador in London will, no doubt, exert his utmost skill to persuade Sir Robert Peel that the augmentation of the German Tariff is a measure of small importance ; he will take credit for the duty on Yarns not having been raised. The fact is, that it is at present the obvious interest of Prussia to admit English yarns at the lowest rate of duty, or even duty-free ; they constitute the raw material of her rising manufactures ; and if it were not for the strenuous opposition of the smaller States in the League, especially of Wirtemberg and Baden, she would wish to remove all duty from , n b f ot G h cotton erman and ybecome worsted. But more nn numerous th asa e n s d pi b n e n t i t n e g r y e m s ai t rl a in b ss lished, then there will be a struggle in the Leagueto lay heavy dutie s on yarns, and probably a success ful one. The augmentations of duty which have nd nowsnnh is s ak h e e n r place have been proposed by P russ i a ;a commanding influence in the Congress, that they have been carried with very slight opposition. We must say that this is a very bad return for our own liberalised Tariff, which has given great encouragement to timber and other kinds of Baltic produce. It is too apparent that the Powers of the German League are bent on pro moting the establishment of all kinds of manufactures in Germany ; and unless some unforeseen check should be experienced, the time is rapidly approaching when we shall have to regard the Germans rather as our rivals than our customers. This, and every other event of a si Oar kind, is a new and powerful reason for our Government freeing ;he manufactures of this country from every shackle and burden. Unless this is done, and our own restrictive policy is entirely abandoned, we continue to give the sanction of our authority and example to those anti commercial principles, which, we now see, may be turned with such fatal effect upon ourselves. To impose arti ficial burdens upon our manufactures, and to court the hostility and rivalry of foreign Governments, as we do by our Corn-law, at a time when those manufactures need every possible advantage and relief, and are suffer ing blow after blow, is an act of the utmost injustice and folly. IMPORTATIONS OF FOREIGN CATTLE. - We learn from a Danish gentlemen well acquainted with the trade and statistics of Denmark, that there is every probability of an extensive trade in cattle between that country and England. The cattle hitherto se n t t o H am b u r g h are likely to be sent to this country, as the better market. Arrangements are . inalcing, since the passing of the new English tariff, run s t eamers next spr i ng di rect from Tonder, in the p rov i nce of Sleswick, and also from a port in the more northernly province of Jutland, to Hull or London. This will raise the price of cattle in Den mark, Hamburgh, and the Baltic, and reduce it in England. Within the last few years great improve • ments have been made in the agriculture of Denmark. A. trade in cattl e t o E ngland would still further acce lerate improvement. It is of importance to know that the exportations of oats and other kinds of grain from Denmark to England, within the last four years, have led to the importatio n of English woollens and cottolis in return, and that th e peasantry of Denmark are b e tter clothed in conseque nce . .W e thus see a prac tical proof of the rTprocal adva n t ages o f commerce. The ships which bring grain to En g l an d see k f re i g h ts of merchandise back to Denmark. This is the natural course of things ; and wherever we g i ve f ore i gners m access to our markets for their prod uce, there we are other , directly tuxes or-indi rect l y, to a Leeds Mercury. osubtraeininm:arkeewtsaYforor an other; own SPECIAL COMMISSIONS. CLOSE OF THURSDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. The Jury having come to a decision upon all the cases, _ _ _ The Clerk of the Arraigns called over the names of the prisoners, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners, except Hamlet Jack son and the two boys who had been acquitted the previous morning. The prisoners were then removed in custody. The CHIEF JUSTICE, in consideration of the length of time the Jury had been occupied with the trial dis charged them till Monday evening. The Court then adjourned for ten minutes, and at the expiration of that period (Before Sir N. TINDAL.) James Ibbs, John Loratt, George Shaw, and John Roden, were indicted for an assault upon Thomas Hill, of Stoke-upon-Trent, and stealing from him three gowns, value 10s., and a variety of other articles enumerated. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated the case. It ap peared that on the day after the burning of Dr. Vale's house, a large mob collected in the town of Hanley, and, among other acts of violence, attacked the house of the prosecutor, a pawnbroker, for the purpose of obtaining property which had been pledged with him. The prisoners in the present case formed part of the mob who surrounded the prosecutor's house, and by their numbers, violence, and threats, compelled him to deliver up a large quantity of property. Mr. Thomas Hill made his depositions, and the property being produced and identified, after some witnesses bad been examined to character, The Learned CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the pri soners, recommending the three first to mercy, as they had used no threats.—The Court then adjourned. (Before Mr. Baron RoLFE.) Philip Dean, James Rathbone, George Owen, Wm. Spilsburgh, George Simpson, and Edward Jfoss, were indicted for a burglary in the house of James Plat, grocer, of Shelton. James Plat, in whose house the burglary was committed, together with several witnesses, identified the prisoners as having been seen by them with pro perty of Mr. Plat's in their possession, on the morning and at the place in question. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) Samuel Gibson was indicted for having, on the night of the 15th of August, burglariously entered the house of Mr. George Paddock, in the parish of Stoke-upon-Trent, and stolen therefrom 10 half crowns, the property of the said Mr. G. Paddock. Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW opened the proceedings. Mr. George Paddock sworn, and examined by Mr. GODSON—His father lived at Grove House, Hanley, in the parish of Stoke-upon-Trent. On the night of the 15th of August a number of men came up to him, near his father's house. Amongst them was the pri soner, who asked him for some money, which he gave him, and they went away. That was about eight o'clock. The mob returned at ten o'clock. As they reached his father's house, he heard a crash. He then went to the house, and found the mob and the prisoner there. He had previously known the prisoner, who endeavoured to conceal his features by contorting them. John Baddely, a labourer, saw the prisoner pass h's house on the 15th August towards Mr. Paddock's. His face was not then blackened. Mr. Baron PARKE charged the Jury, who imme diately returned a verdict of Guilty. Sentence was deferred, and the prisoner removed; After which the Court adjourned. The Grand Jury have already found 90 bills of in dictment, and have adjourned till Monday next. The Judges, Grand Jury, the Solicitor-General, and the leading members of the bar, will dine this evening at Ingestrie House, the sea t o f Earl Talbot. STAFFORD FRIDAT. (Before Sir N. TINDAL.) BURNING OF THE REV. MR. AITKEN'S HOUSE. Elijah Simpson, Thomas Owen, George Kelsall, T. Murray, Phillip Deane, William Spode, Henry Howard, William Ellis, Adam Wood, Elijah Clay, John Cunliff, Joseph Green, Richard Croxton, John Rathbone, 'William Turner, Thomas Roberts, William Fearn, and George Colelough, were indicted for riot ously and tumultuously assembling, with divers others to the Jury unknown, on the 16th August, and with pulling down, demolishing and destroying the dwell ing-house of Robert Ellis Aitken, clerk; and in a second count they were charged with beginning to demolish and destroy the house. The prisoners pleaded not guilty. William Ellis, the person who was originally com mitted on a charge of high treason, and whu is in appearance much above the class of the other priso ners, on being arraigned, exclaimed in a loud voice, " I am not guilty."_ _ _ Mr. ALLEN applied that the prisoner Ellis might be allowed to sever on his trial, in order that he might procure the attendance of witnesses to meet the charge. The CHIEF Jus - ncE said it was impossible he could obtain a copy of the depositions, as none existed, and he could not now separate a prisoner who had already pleaded to a joint indictment to sever on his trial. The Solicitor-General and Mr. Waddington con ducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Lee, Mr. Meteyard, Mr. Allen, Mr. Yardley, Mr. Male, and Mr Huddle ston appeared for several of the prisoners ; many of them were undefended. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated the case. Mr. Aitken was for several years incumbent of the parish of Shelton, and it would appear that the mob originally assembled at Crown-bank on the Monday. They then proceeded to the house of the Rev. Mr. Aitken, in the town of Hanley, who, having been apprised of the coming of the mob, left his home. His son and servants remained in the house, but on the approach of the mob they retired, and the work of destruction was proceeded with and speedily consummated. It must be shown to constitute the offence that the parties had destroyed or had commenced to destroy the building; and that, he thought, the evidence would sufficiently establish. He would show that some of the mob were armed, and two or three of them with swords. He would show them the part that had been taken by.the prisoner William Ellis, hecauss the prisoners were divided into two classes, those who were actively engaged in the work of destruction, and those who were present countenancing and encouraging the others. Among the latter was William Ellis, who would be proved to have accompanied the mob, and would be shown to have been standing within the court in front of the house between one and two o'clock in the morn ing, while the mob was there, and at that time his face was blackened. He would . not be able to show that he took any active part in the destruction of the pi-operty by fire ; but to judge from his expressions and conduct on previous occasions during the day, they would be able to judge whether he was there with an innocent or laudable purpoie, or from idle cu riosity, or as a leader and encourager of the mob, aid ing them in their attack upon the house. They would find that, after the previous outrages, Ellis had spoken of them, not in terms of condemnation, but of praise and approval. That he spoke of the people resisting the soldiers, and at the end there was a shout, " Now for Burslem." He would show that Ellis was at Burs lem with the mob, and that he was one of the persons who was dispersed by the soldiers—that he formed a constituent part of the mob. He would show that in the morning, before they went off to Burslem, Ellis was heard to say that some said that their motto was, " a fair day's wages for a fair day's work ;" but he would say their motto was, " the obtaining of the Charter, and equal political rights." In allusion to carriedbaneindicateo, equally gt ur Nottingham agc obt yuarmgat without hguaeei n ttdyh fi waew r thm e e s t oth — hb te t hr h non a h fires—that thereßristol—and the fires, he said that the Reform Bill had not been t these e d r e b m e been k s fi fires u l a d t unhappy oa,p stand ing phyem enmusttherewbhe ots taken kh t eoanna hands d os set fire to the building. Evidence to this effect was given at considerable length, and the trial was proceedin g when the train left. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) Thomas Kelsol, Thomas Tooth, John W. Farrin..- ton, Susannah Yates, Charles Simp son , J ohn Parkes , Thomas Thomas Banks, and Joseph Barrett, w ere i n di cted for a felony committed in the parish of Stoke-upon- Trent, by breaking into the shop of Mr. George Fen ton, in the said parish, and stealing therefrom, on the 16th of August, a variety of wearing apparel. Witnesses were then called who identified the par ties on the occasion. The prisoner Tooth was acquitted, as the evidence did not implicate him. Mr. SPOONER addressed the Jury on the part of Kelsol and Susannah Yates. Mr. NEIL addressed the Court on behalf of Barrett. The trial had not concluded when our express left. (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) Joseph Broster was indicted for demanding, with menaces, on the 17th of August, from Thomas Hughes, at Woolstanton, 43. 6d., with intent to steal the same. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD and the Hon. Mr. TALBOT conducted the prosecution. It appeared that the pri soner was one of those workmen who infested the neighbourhood to the terror of the inhabitants. The prisoner was found Guilty. CHESTER SPECIAL COMMISSION. (Before Lord ABINGER.) The first bills returned were against William Moor house, Robert Wild, James Wild, Stephen Shirt, John Fairhurst, and Samuel Lees, for a conspiracy and riot. There was subsequently added James Wild, one of the Hollingworth rioters, who asked to be tried along with the other conspirators. After the examination of the witnesses, and Lord Abinger had delivered his charge, The Jury expressed a wish to retire with reference to one prisoner. They did so at half•past three, and, after an absence of half an hour, returned into Court with a verdict of Guilty on all the counts against the whole of the prisoners, with the exception of Shirt, who was found guilty on the second count. The pri soners were then ordered to stand down. NISI PRIX'S COURT. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) THURSDAY, OCT. 6.—James Kershaw. William Martin, and Joseph Taylor were charged with having feloniously thrown down and destroyed a lock on the Peak Forest Canal, in company with others, with a view to obstruct the traffic on the line of the canal. Taylor was acquitted, but the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Martin and Kershaw. Taylor was subsequently indicted for a conspiracy at Marple, and found Guilty. FRIDAY, OCT. 7.—Several persons were convicted during the day of unimportant charges of rioting at Bollington. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) BOW-STREET. Yesterday a young man who gave the name of Robt. Fletcher, and was described as a collector of debts was placed at the bar before Mr. Hall, charged with being concerned with two other persons, not in custody, with assaulting and robbing James Stedman of a valuable gold watch, and about 4s. or ss. in silver, under the following circumstances : The prisoner, it appears, is one of the gang who have for some time past infested the parks, for the pur pose of committing robberies, and extorting money, &c., by threats and accusations. The prosecutor stated, that he was at present resid ing at the King's Head public-house, King-street, Park-lane ; he was lately in the service of the Arch bishop of Canterbury, but was at present out of a situ ation. On the evening of the 14th of August last, he was walking through the Green Park, about ten o'clock, and when near the end towards Hyde Park corner, he was suddenly attacked by three men, who ran up behind him and knocked him down ; when on the ground they attempted to throttle him, and at the same time took from his waistcoat-pocket a gold watch, and the sum of 43. or ss. in silver from his trowsers pocket. They used considerable violence, and tore his trowsers. Mr. HALL—Can you recognise the prisoner as being one of the persons who attacked you? Wit ness—l am quite sure of it. Although I never saw him before, I had quite sufficient opportunity of no ticing him so as to be able to identify him. Witness then stated that a short time after the robbery he met the prisoner in the neighbourhood of Piccadilly, but upon seeing him he immediately ran away, and he (witness) was unable to catch him. Yesterday, as he was walking through Bond-street, he again met the prisoner, who attempted a second time to make his escape ; he however gave an alarm, and after run ning some distance the prisoner was stopped at the end of Burlington-arcade, in Piccadilly. Upon wit ness going up to him, he said, " You are the person who stole my watch," to which he replied, that he was going to get 101. which had been left for him at an hotel in Bond-street, and he would give him that if he would let him go. He also said that he had not got the watch, but that a person of the name of Stringer, who had been lately transported, had it, and that he (Stringer) was one of the persons who robbed him. Mr. HALL—What was the value of the watch ? Witness—l purchased it a short time previous of Mr. Grayhurst, in the Strand, and paid him 251. for it. Mr. HALL—Was the blow you received in the first instance, or the treatment you subsequently expe rienced, of a severe nature ? Witness—l was ren dered perfectly insensible, and remained in that state from ten o'clock till nearly one the following morn ing. Was quite sober at the time. At the time the prisoner offered to give me the 101. he said that he thought he could get the watch back. Mr. HALL—Can you undertake to say that the pri soner was the person who took your watch? Wit ness—No ; I cannot say which of them took it, neither do I know by whom the blow was struck ; but I am quite certain that the prisoner was one of the three men. Mr. HALL (to prisoner)—What are you? Prisoner—l am a chymist and druggist by trade, but have lately been obtaining my living by collect ing debts. The witness stated, that when the prisoner was given into custody he said that when Stringer was apprehended three or four duplicates for gold watches were found upon him and he had no doubt that one of them related to his watch. He further said, that he would endeavour to get it for him, and would also give him 101. to let him go. When asked what he had to say to the charge, the prisoner positively declared that he never saw the pro secutor before ; that he knew nothing whatever about the robbery, neither did he know anything of Stringer. Police-constable A 22 received charge of the pri soner from the prosecutor. Heard him say that Stringer was one of the persons who robbed him, and that he would endeavoui to get the watch back. Upon searching him there were found in his pocket three documents. _ _ _ Mr. HALE, on perusing the letters, said there was nothing in them which related to the particular trans action then under inquiry, but still they were of im portance with respect to other matters. The witness stated that he heard the prisoner say that Stringer and Fitzgerald had committed the rob bery, and when asked how he knew that fact, gave an evasive answer. Mr. HALL inquired whether any persons of the name of Stringer and Fitzgerald had b een l a t e ly conv i c t e d ? —The witness replied in the affirmative, and added that one had been transported for life, and the other for fifteen years, within the last two months. Another robbery of a similar description had been committed in Hyde-park, by three men only a few days ago ; two of those persons were already in custody, and had been examined at Marlborough-street, but he (wit ness) had not had an opportunity at present of ascer taining whether the prisoner was one of the party. Mr. HALL said, he would remand the prisoner, in order to see whether he had any connection with the parties already in custody. He s h ou ld lik e t o h ave a ll the information possible on the subject. The prisoner was accordingly remanded for a week. .1. Myers, a veteran and well-known Thames wa terman, was placed at the bar charged with attempting to commit suicide by cutting Ms throat. The poor man appeared in a sad state of trepidation and nervous excitement; his eyes filled with tears as he faced the Magistrate, and his utterance was choked by the emotions which swelled his breast. The wound on his throat was a very slight incision. Mr. TWYFOIW asked him what had induced him to make an attempt on his life ? Mvers—Distress, Sir, distress ! I have lost all arny things. My furniture has been taken from me. My wife has been carried to the workhouse, and become a corpse ! Mr. TWYFORD said, that other men had misfortunes as well as he, and it was our duty to bear up against adversity. lie would, however, have him taken care of. Orders were then given that the poor man should be taken to the Strand union workhouse, with direc tions from the Magistrate that he should be received and taken care of. It was stated that this well-known waterman had, since he has plied at - Waterloo-bridge, saved upwards of forty persons from drowning. It was also men tioned after his removal, that Mr. Ackermann, of 96, Strand, who has known him for many years, had undertaken to receive any subscriptions which the benevolent might be disposed to send, towards a little fund, for the purpose of putting the poor fellow upon his legs again when he comes out of the workhouse. QUEEN-SQUARE. The Rev. Mr. `Wetherell, resident in Eaton-place, Pimlico, accompanied by his solicitor, came before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. Paynter, under the fol lowing extraordinary circumstances : The Rev. Mr. Wetherall's solicitor remarked, that the duty he had to perform was an extremely distressing one : Mr. Cooke, who ha.d accompanied them, had eloped with his client's daughter, and afterwards, taking ad vantage of the Rev. Gentleman's absence from town, had taken possession of his mansion in Eaton-place, together with the effects therein, and refused to give either up. Mr. PAYNTER expressed surprise at such a proceeding. The solicitor said it was no less strange than true, and that Mr. Cooke had refused to give up possession of the house. Mr. PAYNTER asked Mr. Cooke what explanation of the affair he had to offer ? Mr. Cooke said he had a right to the hou se an d t h e f urn iture in it, which w as certainly his. Mr. PAYNTER—How do you prove your title to the house ? Mr. C oo k e - -Why, m y money bought it. Mr. Wetherall's solicitor produced a lease and as signment of the house to that gentleman (Mr. We tkerall), and said that h by him. _ t e property had been purchased the Rev. Mr. W e th era l l was on ly - Mr. Cook e sa id h e could _ pro ve that the prope r ty had been purchased with his wife's money, to whom trustee. Mr. PAYN TER said, that it did not matte r at all on the present occasion with w hat money the property had been purchased, it was sufficient in law that the applicant was in legal posse.sin of the lease and assign ment of the premises; and if he (Mr. Cooke) was a profos sional man, he must be aware of the fact; on his own showing he was out of Court. fie had admitted that the complainant was trustee to his daughter; and who could, with mor e propr i ety , have possession of the property than th e t rus t ee ? Ile did not like to advise the house, either at the door or window , and would in such cases, but if h e we re in the situation of Mr. Wether a ll, h e wou ld ta k e a blacksmith, and a police man to k ee p th e p eace , an d f o rcibly effect an entran ce into eject any p erson en d eavour i ng to retain possession. The Rev. Mr. Wetherall said the attempt would be dangerous, for a servant of Mr. Cooke's had sworn he would shoot the first man who attempted to enter the house. Mr. PAINTER said if he did he would be guilty of murder.—The partiesthen retired. It was rumoured in Court that the lady whom Mr. Cooke has married is heiress to 20,0001.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF RATIIRD,In GLOBE.—The Anti-Corn-law League held a meeting on Thursday at Manchester, when Mr. Cobden made a very powerful and effective. speech in favour of" total and immediate repeal;'' for which it seems the League are determined to use the utmost energy in contending. The • • confidence which is shown by the Corn-law Re pealers in the justice of their cause affords the best ground for anticipating their ultimate success. They appear anxious to impress others with the truths of which they are them selves convinced ; feeling assured that the principles they hold, when once fairly brought before the public, cannot fail to be recognised. There is no doubt that,feeling as they do thejustice of their cause, the Anti-Corn-law parry will succeed in bringing cony-Juju:: to the minds of others. It needhardly he said, that if the people once fairly determine on the necessity for total repeal, there will be no possibility of withholding . it. As Mr. C o bd en well observed, the House of - Commons "answers to the changes in public opinion as sensitively, and almost as instantly, as the vessel on the ocean answers to its helm." But it must he the opinion of the public in its widest sense, and not the conviction of a party, however numerous and respectable, that will guide the conduct of the people's repre sentatives. It is for this reason that Mr. Cob den is desirous of making that which is the opinion of those who have, without prejudice weighed the subject, the opinion of the nation at large. When this result is achieved, he knows that his cause must triumph. He has faith in the excellence of the arguments to be adduced , in favour of repeal, and for this reason he recommends " publishing them in news papers, and stitching them in magazines mouth after month, in order that the people may be tempted and forced to read them. If they were ftllacies that he thus proposes to disseminate, they. would never work their way to the convic tions of the people; hut knowing them to be truths, he will not be deceived in the hope that the greater the energy shown in circulating them through the country, the sooner will the tune arrive for their being adopted and acted on. STANDARD.—From the intelligence brought by the Overland Mail, it seems to be certain that Lady Sale and her fellow-prisoners are not merely well, but kindly treated. They are placed in a fortress of considerable extent, at a distance or four or five miles of Caubul, and in addition to the full liberty of the whole circuit of this fortress, they are permitted to make excursions at pleasure in the neighbourhood, and • to the city, while all their comforts are amply .7 provided for. What adds infinitely to the grad" fication which these facts afford, is the knowledge that the kind treatment of the prisoners is iv. effect of a tyrant's caprice, or policy, but the re. suit of a necessity on his part. The people and the chiefs, upon whom he is dependent fer every hour of life, feel the true nature, - of their position—feel that they are utterly capable of offering any resistance to the proaching British army : they thus regao.-the' prisoners as hostages, and as indeedt,the.tinlY security for their safety, and therefore : it is that they compel Akbar Khan to thPviolence to his savage nature, and treat his'captives with hu manity. Already it appearS that the prisoners are treated by the m* - :of the people as medi' ators, and expecteC-protectors. Akbar Khan. himself appearsl'6'be placed in circumstances et the greatest ditficulty. Lately he was left without a singlestipporter among all the associated chiefs, and compelled to stoop to become the vizier of tt descendant of Shah Soojah (the rival of his father), whom he has proclaimed King, il l order to retain either the substance or the j semblance of p ower . G enera l s S a l e and Pollock will know how to avail themselveS of such a state of affairs, and it is not improbable that the march to Caubul, the recovery of th e - prisoners, and an honourable peace, may be. effected without another shot fired. It does Ile' • diminish this probability, on the other hand greatly augments it, that the military operatioes against Caubul are proceeding upon a scale an., with a firmness to ensure success against. aq possible amount of resistance. General_Nott s force in Candahar (the western army) are es" cuating that province (probably finally), but by. an advance, and not by a retrograde inovemell, t .... : this force is marchiug upon Caubul from te e south and west, while, on the other side, nerals Sale and Pollock are making active Pre,;, : i, , parations to meet their gallant countrymen st ) - fellow-soldiers at that city. We have alreak,:h-1 spoken of the mor a l e ff ec t p ro d uce d u p o n the habitants and the neighbouring chiefs b3r-- -a knowledge of these movements. -'• THE MARKETS.-SATURDAI r • WHITECILATEL.
