The help which would have been readily extended to Paisley by those resident in Manchester, has been demanded by masses perishing around them in their own town, or in those other densely-populated places within a short distance of it. The general distress of the country, which we charge on the Corn and Provision-laws, has paralyzed the powers of extended benevolence, by restricting its ex ertions to the localities within which its agents have their own residence. Thus are the Corn-laws, and their kindred enactments, chargeable, either imme diately or remotely, with national distress, and with snch instances of local destitution as is presented by the population of Paisley. STANDARD.—There has rarely occurred a case in which the exposure of deliberate and systematic fraud has been so complete, as in the recent attempt to excite discontent and alarm in the agricultural class by the threat of a meditated change in the pro tecting laws. The enterprise was begun by a series of misrepresentations of the speeches of noblemen and gentlemen connected with the landed interest, and sup posed to be in the confidence of the Government— misrepresentations as gross and audacious as ever were employed to deceive the public. These misrepre sentations supplied texts from which the Whig-Ra dical journals expatiated, day by day, upon the un grateful and dishonest policy of the Government. At length the artificers of fraud had wrought themselves up to the pitch of confidence to dare anything, and forth came the impudent lying announcement of the Globe, that the graduated scale was forthwith to be replaced by a fixed duty. It is not to be wondered at that a scheme of false hood, so artful and so audacious, succeeded in swaying the opinions of some of even our most in telligent and honest journals, pat iicularly, if like the Times, these journals had a bias in favour of the change announced ; perhaps it is as little astonishing that the pseudo-Conservative journal, written and compiled in concert with the evening organ of the Whig-Radical Ministry, affected to give implicit credit to a story dishonourable to Sir Robert Peel's Government, and even went beyond its Whig-Radical playfellow in pretending to cast doubt upon the contradiction of the lie, when that contradiction appeared by authority in the Stand ard. That this combined movement of Whig-Radicals and mock Conservatives, which succeeded to some ex tent in imposing upon even honest and intelligent journals, has proved at least temporarily injurious to Sir Robert Peel's Government cannot be doubted. It was designed for that purpose, and for that purpose only ; and how could it fail of misleading simple minded men, who believe :others as honov"able and candid as themselves, such as constitute the majority of the agricultural class ? DREADFUL FIRE at LIVERPOOL. (FURTHER PARTICULARS.) Great as the destruction is, the result may be con • sidered as a fortunate escape, and the town owe the credit to the fire-police in particular. No accident, happily, occurred to life or limb, so far as we could learn, though one man had a fearful and narrow escape. The first estimates made of a loss are generally much exaggerated, and for this there may be some excuse. The loss, we believe, will be found (in place of 70,0001. to 100,000/.) to be, in all, from 45,000/. to 47,0001.—chiefly in the following articles :- 7,000 to 8,000 quarters of wheat, 1,400 bags of cotton, 50 casks of madder, 100 barrels of tar and turpentine, 30 to 40 tons of dyewood, &c. About 91 tuns of olive oil, worth about 5,0001. (not included in our estimate), are vet in the cellars of the eastern warehouse (called " C . rane's"), but every hope is entertained that it will be saved. The western warehouse is called " Guyton's." The fire was so far suhdued by one o'clock, the flames being reduced to the vaulted cellars under the west yard, that little ap prehension was entertained of its spreading to any of the adjacent property, much of which was long in jeopardy. The two warehouses were both of great height, and covered an area (together) or 1,460 yards. One con tained prineipally grain, wool, and some brimstone ; the other cotton, grain, fustic, and tallow. 'During the early part of the fire, Lieuteiaant But ler, in command of H.M.S. Etna, sent his marines on shore, in charge of Mr. Wright, chief officer under him ; Captain Cumming, of the 15th Regiment, from the barracks, Duke-street, without requisition, also brought up his men, and rendered efficient services, in maintaining order and keeping ample space for the firemen, until their services were gratefully dispensed with.—Liverpool Standard. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. ?4. IN THE MATTER OF GEORGE JOY. The petitioner, a gentleman highly connected, who is eighty-two years old, and at present confined in the Queen's Prison, applied to be discharged under the New Insolvent Debtors' Act. Mr. Joy had been in prison since June 1841, and was now brought up upon a writ of Habeas Corpus. His debts amounted to 10,000/. ; he was engaged in a suit in Chancery, from which he expected shortly to obtain a sum of 26,0001., the Master in Chancery having reported in his favour. Mr. PLATT, Q.C. and Mr. WALFORD, of the Chan cery bar, conte n de d the Commissioner could order the prisoner to be discharged under the new Act. The petitioner was not a trader, nor had he become indebted otherwise than in a proper manner, having reasonable assurance of paying his debts when he con tracted them. The Act had clearly a 'retrospective operation by the words "who shall have become in debted." The Act distinguishes those cases in which persons became involved by "fraud, or gross or culpable negligence." Here there had been nothing of the sort ; this gentleman would pay all his debts upon the termination of the suit in Chancery, until which time he wished to be allowed to live outside a prison, and attend the more easily to prosecute the suit. It had been suggested that this Act would not apply to persons in prison. The preamble stated that the Act was to enable the Court to protect from all process such as came within its meaning ; it could never have been intended that because a man was in prison the operation of the Act was to be stayed. The Court would at any rate grant an order Nisi for the dis charge of the petitioner until the case could be brought before .the Court of Queen's Bench and decided. In opposition it was contended that the detaining creditor only wished for security, and had no desire to keep the petitioner in prison. The property was vested in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, and this Court had no power to interfere in the matter. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE expressed himself clearlyof opinion that he had jurisdiction concurrently to-grant an interim order of protection, notwithstand ing a vesting order was made by the Insolvent Debtors' Court. He should not order a discharge, as the ques tion could be decided by the Court of Queen's Bench. He would grant an interim order only until the 14th of January. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) MAN SION-HOUSE. The LORD MAYOR stated, upon entering the Jus tice-room, that he had made inquiries amongst the merchants and bankers, and principal tradesmen in the City of London, on the subject of the requisition• which had been presented to him a few days a go rela tive to his i n t er f erence i n order to i n d uce th e citizens of London to keep Monday, the 26th instant, as a holiday, and he had found that if business was stopped on that day many serious inconveniences would be occasioned, as it happened that bills to the amount of upwards of 2,000,000/. would fall due on the occasion. Now, if Monday were made a holiday, and the sus pension of the usual avocations of men took place, it would be necessary, according to the custom of the trade, to pay all these bills on the Saturday previous —an obligation which would very seriously embarrass numbers of persons, inasmuch as the money to dis charge bills was frequently not procured till the day on which they became due. It would, indeed, very much delight him to see the suggestion of the requi sitionists carried into effect, as he entertained the opi nion they had so well and forcibly expressed, and it was his intention to show how sincerely he approved of them by allowing those individuals whom he em ployed to amuse themselves in any relaxation they thought most advisable. Of course, those persons, who had in such vast numbers signed the requisition, would close business during Monday, and he had no doubt the example would be extensively followed. BURGLARY.--Six labouring men, named Kane, Herrbrecter, Green , Ki,zgwell, Breton, an d M'Keve, were brought up charged with having broken into the wine-vaults of Mr. Moore, a wine merchant, of Mile's lane, Upper Thames-street, and stolen 19 dozen of wine. Inspector Chadwick, of the City Police, having re ceived information that Mr. Moore's Cellar had been broken open by a number of workmen employed in the neighbourhood, and who had made mortar in the adjoining cellar, immediately caused every one of the parties to be apprehended, and dispatched officers as quickly to search their premises. In the house of Kane and Herrbrecter were found five bottles of wine, but nothing at all was found in the residences of the others. Mr. Moore stated that the wine produced was his. He had not visited the cellar for seventeen days, and upon going to it, on being informed that it had been entered and plundered, he found that the partition be tween his cellar and that in which the prisoners worked, and which was made •merely of lath and plaister, had been broken through, and that the rob bery above-mentioned had been committed. John King, a bricklayer, stated that he had been employed formerly with the prisoners, but had been discharged ab ou t fi ve wee k s ago , an d had not since worked with them. As he was standing at a picture shop in Gracechurch-street, Kane and Herrbrecter came up to him and said they wished he had been with them, as they had got plenty of wine. Then, said he, "If you have, you can give me a bottle." 'They re plied that they would, and Kane brought him a bottle, which he produced, and which Mr. Moore believed to be his property. Kane also said he had plenty of wine under the tiles of his house, and witness informed the police of the circumstance. Kane declared that King's evidence was wilful and corrupt perjury, for that witness was the very person who brought the four bottles of wine to his house, and begged him to hide them from his (King's) wife, suggesting at the same time the place of concealment in the roof of the house. Kinn'had, he solemnly de clared, played tricks of the kind before, and got men into difficulties. The IlLoan MAYOR—I have no doubt that every man at the bar has had his pull at the wine, bat I have no evidence against the four last, whom I ac cordingly discharge. I sentence Kane to two months' imprisonment, and Herrbrecter to one month's impri sonment. Kane—For God's sake, my Lord, order that King's premises be searched. I dare say some of the wane will be found there. The LORD MAYOR—Certainly, I shall cause them to be searched. An officer was then d;'ected to accompany King to his house and search it. A man named William Wardle was brought before the Lord Mayor under rather curious circumstances. He had been examined at the Guildhall Police-office on Friday, when Sir Peter Laurie, before whom the Mansion-house business had been brought at that office, remanded the case, in order that a further in vestigation might take place before his Lordship. It appeared that the house of Mr. Hodges, a tobacconist, 'Change-alley, had been broken open at about five o'clock on Sunday, the 11th instant, and robbed of cigars to the value of upwards of 2501., although a policeman, namaed James Storey, had passed a short time previously, and declared that he had found all secure in the neigh bourhood. In consequence of the statement of Mr. Hodges, the City Police Commissioner suspended Storey and another policeman, much suspicion having attached to the facts stated by the owner of the pre mises, that the housebreakers must have been engaged in their operations for six hours, that the cigars must have been carried out of the house to a distance of 30 yards, and that one cab would not have contained them. Storey, after, as he declared, an indefatigable search, laid his hands upon the prisoner some days after the robbery, and charged him as a party engaged in it, having seen him on the day the transaction oc curred passing through 'Change-alley, accompanied by another man, And having also seen him a few days previously in the same neighbourhood. Two other policemen recognised the prisoner, who is certainly a person of rather extraordinary visage, as having been in the neighbourhood at the period mentioned by Storey. Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor, contended that there was nothing at all in the statements of the' officerS calculated to show that the prisoner had been concerned in the robbery, and that Storey had apprehended Win upon the calculation that his own character would be freed from all imputation by such an act. Mr. Hodges said he had a strong impression upon his mind that he had seen the prisoner in his shop. The LORD MAYOR, after having narrowly exa nined the evidence, said it was clear, that if-the officers had done their duty, so serious a robbery could not haste occutred, and that the Commissioner had with grelt propriety suspended them. Instead. of attending to his business Storey had been loitering about, and, in stead of apprehending the priioner upon seeing about the premises, according- to his statement,,or iin-. mediately after the robbery was found to have been, committed, he did - - not take any trouble, abont'the matter until punishment took place in the shape of suspension of the profits of his situation. The Lord Mayor then requested to know who the.prisoner was, as Storey said he had given a false address ? Mr. Humphrey,for the prisoner, refused the address. The LORD MAYOR called Gooch, the turnkey • of the Compter, and asked whether he knew the person at the bar ?—Gooch said he did—he had been brought up before for attempting to rob a lady of her ptirse. The LORD MAYOR said, as he was a character of that kind, he should remand him. It appeared, from the result of the investigation, that gross negligence was attributable to the police. BOW-STREET. THE BLASPHEMOUS PAPERS IN HOLYWELL:STREET. --Thomas Patterson was summoned before Mr. Twy ford for exhibiting in h:s shop, No. 8, Holy well-street, eel Lain profane papers. Mr. Chambers, the barrister, assisted by Mr. Ho ward, clerk to the Solicitor to the Treasury, attended on the pat of the prosecution. The defendant was called by name several times, both IN:thin and outside the Court, but did not answer. Mr. Chambers then requested that the service of the summons might be proved. Boyd, F 30, was sworn, and stated that he had served copies of four summonses and fuser notices (which he now produced) on the defendant on Tue i - day last, at half-past two o'clock in t he afteiamon, n a private room at this Court. He said it was of litth. consequence giving him those, as he had received four others at his shop the previous evening. (Witness had left four copies at his house on Monday night.) Mr. Chambers then requested that the summonses might be read. Mr. Burnaby proceeded to read the first summons, and, on concluding an extract from one of the placards, a voice in the Court was heard to exclaim " Hear." Mr. TWYFORD instantly ordered an officer to take the party into custody, and bring him before him. A person was pointed out and brought iu front of the Bench, who refused to give his name (which we believe to be Ryall.) Mr. TWYFORD asked him what he meant by the ex pression he had made use of, and he immediately denied that he had done so. Several gentlemen, however, stepped forward and swore that the prisoner was the man. Mr. TWYFORD thereupon ordered him to be turned out of the Court, and not allowed to enter it again. Order Imlng been restored, Mr. Chambers rose and said that there were two Acts of Parliament under which the offence was punish able. One, the Metropolitan Police Act; the other the Act regulating the Police courts of the metropolis. He thought it becoming on the part of those for whom he appeared, to state, that he was very anxious the law should be put in force, and it was not the intention of the Government to lextend any leniency towards the parties, as they were determined to suppress anything which might be injurious to the religious feelings of society. It might become the consideration of those who made laws on a future occasion to extend the limits of the power of Magistrates, for all that could be done at present against persons guilty of the of with which Patterson was charged was to fine them in the penalty of 40s. for every separate offence proved against them. The reason he (Mr. Chambers) had not called on the Magistrate to grant a warrant on the former occasion, was because there could not have been sufficient time for Patterson (who it was sworn was at Gloucester) to receive the summonse s and to: return to town in time for the examination, as `tie summonses were not served until The-sday'nigh t t,' and they could not by any possibility reach Gloticester before Saturday morning. He now, howev6r, as it was proved the summonses had been servo on the man personally, should request that M'. Twyford would grant warrants for his apprehension of the earliest opportunity. Mr. TWYFOED said, from the circumstancea of the case, he saw no ground for refusing the application of the Learned Counsel, and . he therefore ordered war rants to be issued intrnediatelylor Patterson's appre hension. The Learned Counsel then retired. Mr. Hall, the Chief . Magistrate, was present to watch the proceedings ; ; but seeing that the defendant did not attend, and that the Learned Counsel merely intended to apply for a warrant, he retired from the Court, as .he was labouring under a severe cold.

EATEAoaDINAur INSTANCE or CREDULITY.--J O / a I'almer, a person of respectable appearance, who de scribed himself as a chemist, residing at 16, Eagle street, City-road, was charged before Mr. Broughton with having obtained the sum of 61.105. from a mum named James Farmer, by menus of thlse and fraudu lent pretences. The complainant stated that he was a chair-maker, living at No. 2, Lamb's-court; Clerken well. About eighteen months ago he saw unedrertise ment in " Raphael's Prophetic Almana4,7 statisig that the defendant was in the habit of calculating nativities, and he sent him a letter requesting-to know !:is charge for so doing. Having received an - answer dating the charge to he a sovereign, he inclosed that sum in a letter, which he forwarded to the defendant, with instructions for him to make out the:nativity of his sister. Nearly six months elapsed wit out his hearing :Litything further on the! ! sub;ect, and at the expiratio n of that time he called on the de fendant, who apologised fur the delay, - and assured him that the calculations would be completed in a few days. Witne.is then desired him to make out his na tivity als s, which he promised to do, and witness paid him another sovereign. The defendant afterwards ob tained front hint other sums amounting altogether to 5/., on the prtence of entering more minutely into the details of his Intare fate. The defendant et length completed the horo.;copes of witness and his sister, which were duly dervered, and were found to be re plete with the most gratifying- predictionkof pros perity and length of days to both parties: In the course or their interviews witness happened to men tion that his tunlly were entitled to some- freehold oroporty :it which they had been long dis posst. , ssed, on hearing which the defendant repre sented himself to Le a lawyer as well as an astro loger, and offered to adopt such measures as would ka , l to the recovery of the property, if he were well !mid for his services. Wit ness consented to make him his agent in the business, and paid Wm 30s. in advance, with a promise that he would give him 51. more on the ensuing Tuesday. The defendant enjoined Win to keep the matter secret from his mother, who would otherwise apply to anther astrologer, through whose instrumenteht7 she would get possession of the property, and keep it all to herself. His mother, however, became acquainted with the facts, .and a complaint was Made tO the Ma gistrate at her instigation. In answer_, 01l charge, the defendant admitted having received the money - , but positively denied having assumed the character of an attorney. He avowed himself a firm believer in the sublime science of astrology, and said tharthe amount was voluntarily paid him as a cOmpensation for his work and labour in calculating the nati vities. He requested the Magistrate to allow him an opportunity of procuring professional assistance. The MAGISTRATEsaid that, without entering at ,pre sent into the Charge against Lim of having ,friutchilently obtained.3os: by falsely representing hiinself as an attorney, the defendant was lialAe to a Conviction under the Vagrant Act, according to the Provisions of which, any persons found guilty of using any subtle c , i;rift 'Or - device to deceive or impose on her Majeety's ;subjects, were. held atul deemed to be ro.jues and yggiboi)ds, and it wauld- be la w f u l c ar : a ny justice of L the.kyace to Comm; t them to the Houstof Correction 4'or three calendar months.

The Magistrate then inflicted the full penalty of 5 . 1. on the defendant. SING (MAR BEQUESTS.—The Princess Jadime -rowSki, who died some time back in Russia, has left considerable legacies to two actors, ono- for having made her laugh, and the other weep. The following words are found in her will, in .allusion to this matter :—" Having frequented the theatre for three years, and havitig felt there the only real emotions of my life, I think myself bound to recompense those persons who caused me so much gratification, I, therefo&, bequeath t o K ara ti gu i n, who has so often made . 'me shed such delicious tears, the sum of 50,000 roubles (about 3,0001.)

A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, se as to be at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. .on the sums paid, and a bonus of five per cent. vas added to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spe cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici pating scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate paymentof thepremiura for 5001. only. The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of 1001., for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent., and should the policy become a claim in the interim the amount due will then be deducted : Age 20, without profits £1 13 0 with profits £1 18 0 30 40 . .... ........... ... 2 14 3 ... 3 1 3 50 Fsr short periods the premiums are considerably lower, and f.rany ages or contingencies not usually advertised, information may be obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary. • FIRE DEPARTMENT.

On Saturday morning last, the inhabitants of Ilk ley, Addingham, and the neighbourhood, were hor rified by the finding of the murdered body of a man, aged about 50 years, in a field in the township of Nesfield, through which the public highway from Ilkley to Beamsley and Bolton Bridge passes, about a mile distant from Middleton Lodge, the residence of W. Middleton, Esq., and less than a mile distant from the village of Ilkley. The. gamekeepers and watchers of Mr. Middleton (six in number) found the body about tworo!oloak on Saturday morning. Life was .net then quite extinct. The deceased was laid on his ; right side, and his hat over his face. On the keepers . attempting t o ra i se hi m up, and on. r emov i ng hi s h at , they •discoverocilthat his head was broken to piece!, and his hat ilea:4y filled with bloCid:- He expired immediately on beingm o y e d. Asshert - Walking-stick with a most formidAle ( head was found, by the body, .eokered• with. blood. The body was. , then moved t 9, Ilkley, by the constable, ; whom the keepers at --onee.applied to, and the body was identified as that of Win. Hustlirick, 413eamsley; . a labourer, who, it Was asbertained; badieft Ilkley, about half-past ten o'clock' the night before, in com pany With his cousin, Joseph Hey,.otßeanasley, a carpenter. . . • . On the body being undressed, a most frightful spec tacle was presented. Although the face was not much - difigured, the head was literally smashed to pieces, and almost the entire body and limbs Were covered with bruise 4: Hey was immediately inquii-ed after, and taken into custody, to await the result of the Coro ner's inquest, which was held on Monday, before Thomas Brown, Esq., of Skipton, and a. respectable Jury chosen from the townships of Nesfield, and Addingham ; G. 0. Green, Esq., of Woodhouse, was foreman. E. C. L. liaye, Esq., of Farfteld Hall, the nearest resident Magistrate, was also in' the jury room, with several neighbouring gentlemen, and a crowd of other spectators, There was great excitement exhibited during the examination of the witnesses, which occupied ahout seven hours ; but the material facts deposed to may be more briefly stated. John Lister, of Ilkley, innkeeper, proied that the deceased and Joseph Hey, both of whom he well knew, came together into his house on Friday even ing, and that they left in company together. Thomas Hardwick, the house watcher at Middleton Lodge, said—At ten minutes or a quarter-past 12 he heard a distant noise from the direction of the river where the body was found (distance a mile). The night was windy. It was a man's voice. He went to the front of the house to hear more distinctly, and walked backward and forward for an hour, during all which time he heard repeated sounds from the same quarter, as of blows, or as if stones were thrown into the river, and occasionally from the same voice he thought he heard words like " Help me up," or " Let me get up," but could not be certain. About one o'clock the sounds ceased. About half-past one the keepers came to him at the lodge. He mentioned what he had heard, and set off to lead the keepers to about the place where the sounds came from. He led them almost direct to the place. After all the evidence had been heard, Joseph Hey said,—" After going a short way, deceased began to stagger, I took hold of his arm. ',Ve went gently on. He would sic down. We got too near the lime kiln. He then lay ,down and said he would stop. I said, Nay, come on. He said, I'll lie down a bit and then follow thee. I then left him. He went on to state how he had proceeded homewards sitting do wn in different places, hearing a clo c k s t r ike twelve,' and getting home at two. The Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder," against some person or persons unknown. The mur dered man was not married. hey, after the verdict, was set at liberty, and attended the funeral of the de ceased next day by invitation of his friends.—Leeds Mercury of Saturday. SeIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OP SATURDAY. GLOB E.—We shall not enter upon a controversy to the causes of the distress which desolates Paisley —where out of a population of sixty thou Sand, eleven thousand are daily dependerit' on the precarious, in swoulddecreasing bropireilt private antebdenneecveosiesanrciely.

It may be, and robably is, true, that the staple manufacture of Paisley has ceased to be in demand, because of the change which ever-varying fashion has undergone. Shawls of a cheaper fabric, manfactured elsewhere, have super seded those long almost exclusively produced in Pais ley. With distress, however deplorable and extensive, caused by such fluctuations, the Corn..l aw, say i ts ' r) Al advocates; can have nothing to do. -t if want of 'mployment for the labouring population, occasioned to a great extent by the restrictions i mposed upon trade by this and other modes of :protecting cla,ss-interests at the expense of the community, had not inflicted iistress and suffering upon every , ma nufacturing dis trict in the kingdom, the unemployed work-people of Paisley would have sought, and many of them would have found, a market for their labour in other places; while those who remained would have obtained relief by the benevolent efforts of the in habitants.. The local funds would not haVe. been taxed, as they have been, beyond their powers of endurance ; and these, if necessary, would have bectil increased by supplies sent from - other quarters, i:aised by those appeals. which are never made in cases o real necessity, without being responded to with promptitude and effect by those who possess the power of doing good. But the widely-spread depression of trade in the manufacturing districts has called for the utmost efforts of the benevolent, who possess the means, to mitigate the suffarinis of the Unemployed who dwell in ;A. 1 3 %, b.
