We dare llnt trust ourselves to speak of this act, nor of the manner in Which it has been executed, as our feelings prompt. the public will not fail, however, to see it in its true light. " Such a proceeding is almost unprecedented. even 'earned counsel being unaware of the practice,—the usual and almost invariable rule being to proceed by judge's Warrant." _ _ We are inclined to hope that Lord LONS LIALE cannot be cognizant of this proceeding, and that his law agents libel him by supposing that this " sharp practice" (which so looks like a desire to be revenged upon one defendant for the escape of the other) will be agreeable to him• But at any rate we may ask, whether that law ought to go unamended, which allows a Private individual to inflict at his discretion a Punishment of six weeks or two months for an offence which the Judges might think sufficiently met by a trifling fine, or imprisonment for one tomb. It is with regret that we notice the revival of I ncendiary fires throughout the country. To lay we give accounts of a few of them, but not a d a y has passed for some weeks without our having intelligence from some part or other 0 1 the country, of outrages of this description. The main proximate cause of attacks upon pro perty by large bodies of the people is distress, itrises from want of employment, that is, from a deficiency of food. Putting aside the abuses of the poor laws, and the inevitable tendency they have to produce the excess of labouring popula tion now so severely felt in many of the southern counties, let us see what can be done to relieve the country of the excess of people independent °f the free admission of foreign corn in return for their labour. The opponents of a free trade . 4 1 corn are divided upon the question of whether It is better to encourage emigration or discourage I t. Lord GODERICH, it will be remembered, in °Pposing Earl FITZWILLIAM'S resolutions upon the corn laws, whilst he denied that the want of food was felt, urged that those who were dis tressed for it, found a refuge in the colonies, Which would be cut off from them if foreign torn were allowed them in England. The argu tnent was rather inconsistent with itself, but still we may gather from it, that Lord GODERICH thought it politic to get rid of men whose hun gry bellies might prompt their hands to desperate deeds. The other class of the corn monopolists, however, boldly contend that there . 14 no excess of population, and are now exert ing themselves to the uttermost to employ the 4 gricultural poor in the cultivation of land. Mr. MILL, in his article on Colonies, originally pub lished in the Supplement to the Encyclopedia 13 ritannica, but now incorporated into the seventh 'Polume of the new edition of that great work, has some observations upon this fancy of theirs, which they may benefit by. They are in part quoted by the able author of " England and America." Speaking of the very great error into Which the class of opponents of the free ad inission of food, to whom we refer, have fallen, Mr. MILL says:— "The explanation of the phenomena is easy ; but it is !leo of the highest importance. When the supply of food too small for the population, the deficiency op-rates, in modern Europe, in a manner different from that in which It operated in ancient Greece. In modern Europe the greatest portion of the food is bought by the great body ''f the people. What the great body of the people have to give for it, is nothing but lab , ur. When the quantity of d is not sufficient for all, and when serve are in danger 4 f not getting any, each man is induced, in order to secure 4 Portion to himself, to give better terms for it than any ether men, that is, more labour. In other words, that Part of the population who have nothing to rive for food but labour, take less wages. This is the primary effect, Ik`ar, immediate, certain. It is only requisite farther to trac e the secondary or derivative effects. " When we say, that in the case in which the supply of Tod has become too small for the population, the great body of the people take less wages, that is, less fo,A, for t heir labour, we mean that they take less than is neees tory for comfortable subsistence; because they would only I lkee what is necessary for comfortable subsistence in the N. in which the supply of food is not too small fur the ttlaole. " The effect, then, of a disproportion between the food and the population, is not to feed to the full measure that l:ortion of th e p o pulati o n whi c h it is sufficient to feed, and leave the redundant portion destitute ; it is to take, ac 'ording to a certain rate, a portion of his due quantity fro m each individual of that great class who have nothing t o give for it but ordinary labour. •y, " What this state of things imports is most easily seen. e great class who have nothing to give for food but 4 dinary labour, are the great body of the people. When every individual in the great body of the people has less t han the due quantity of food, less than would fall to his share if the quantity of food were not too small for the population, the state of the great body of the people is the % tate of sordid, painful, and degrading poverty. They are te tetchedly fed, wretchedly clothed, have wretched houses, 44 d neither time nor means to keep either their houses or thei r persons free from disgusting impurity. Those of them *6 , either from bodily infirmities, have less than the erdinary quantity of labour to bestow, or, from the state el their families, need a greater than the ordinary quantity of food, are condemned to starve; either wholly, if they i 'lkve not enough to keep them alive, or partially, if they 44 ve enough to yield them a lingering, diseased, and, after 411 , a shortened existence. "What the ignorant and vulgar spectator sees in all this I , not a redundant population, it is only a poor population. He sees nobody without food who has enough to give for To his eye, therefore, it is not food which is wanting, but that which is to be given for it. When events suc ceed in this train, and are viewed with these eyes, there sever can appear to be a redundancy of population." So there appears no redundancy in the eyes of the SADLER School, and so there appears to the incendiaries in different parts of the country, not a want of food, for that they destroy, but a want of the means of purchasing food, and they accordingly attack the owners of pro- Perty to make them give higher wages. The Only effect of this, if there were an absolute pro hibition of foreign corn, would be to cause them to have food at the expense of some one else. They would merely put some one else in the Position of leading " a lingering, diseased, and Shortened existence," but as it is the effect is to Cause an additional importation of foreign corn, for which the manufacturer who buys it gives more than he ought. Mr. MILL then proceeds to show why it is that a redundancy of popula tion was-seen at once in ancient Greece, and is hardly acknowledged in England, where thou sands are stinted in food : "In ancient Greece, the greatest portion of the food %vas not bought by the great body o. the people ; the state Of whom, wretched or comfortable, legislation has never Yet been wise enough much to regard. All manual labour, at least, the far greatest portion of it, was pet formed, nOt by free labourers serving for wages, but by slavts, who were the property of the great men. The deficiency of food, therefore, was not distributed in the shape of general poverty and wretche loess over the great body of the popu lation, by reduction a wages; a case which affects, with very slight sensations, those who regard themselves as in no degree liable to fall into that miserable situation. It was felt, first of all, by the great men, in the greater cost of maintaining their slaves. And what is felt as disagreeable by the great men, is sure never to continue long without I, an effort, either wise or foolish, for the removal of it." Our great men are feeling the pressure of the population in a more roundabout way, and ac cording to the axiom laid down by Mr. MILL, are making efforts to remove it. The greater part of those efforts fall under those described in his second alternative, and it may be presumed that it is not till they have proved their own futility that they will be abandoned. The Go vernment is promoting emigration to a certain extent, but not upon the extended scale neces sary to be of essential service to the country. The condition of those who go to Australia is vastly improved, but little benefit is experienced by those who remain, both from want of a uniform system in conducting the emigration, and from its limited extent. For further infor- mation upon this subject, we must again refer our readers to that mine of thought and expe rience " England and America." We will only add at present that midnight burnings among the peasantry, and discontent among manufac turers, must naturally be expected till a free trade in food, and . well regulated emigration, take away the causes in which both originate. It appears by Bogota papers to the 9th of September, which have been just received, that another attempt at counter-revolution has been made in New Granada. On the 23d of July a plan of conspiracy was formed in Tunja for effecting this object, but it was defeated by the zeal of a body of Huzzars. The conspirators are remains of the BOLIVAR party. The chief conspirator SAIDA, and some others, had been brought prisoners to Bogota, and the trial had commenced when the papers left. These papers contain the ratification by the French KING, of the convention between France and New Gra nada. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, Nov. 24.—Wind WS.

Bombay Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee House to the 4th of July. (From the Papers o' the 3d of July.) The Bombay Steam Committee met yesterday, and passed a resolu ion, declaratory of their derided conviction, that after the noble effort made by the Society of Madras, the plan for establishing the proposed communication with Suez wi!! succeed, notwithstanding the manifestation of empty sympathy in which the Calcutta meeting has ended. The Members, we understand, were much puzzled :o comprehend what was meant by the expression deep sympathy"—deep as it was, it did not descend so low as the breeches pockets of the meeting. A plan is now in contemplation here for the establish ment of a Bombay Savings Bank for the native poor, and has received the warm support of some members of the community. FRAKKFORT, Nov. 18.—We have received from Lan vnburg the official communication th it her Highness the Princess Anna Feodorowna, Augusta Charlotte of Hohenlobe-Laugenhurg, Princess of L.iningen, daughter of the Duchess of Kent, was happily delivered on the 1 lth of a Prince, who has been baptized by the name of Victor Ferdinand Francis Eugenius Custavus, Adolphus Con stantine Frederick. THE FUNDS. We have no arrivals this morning of any consequence, with the exception of the express from Paris, which com municates the first operations of General Sairsfield against the Carlists in Spain. He has at length attacked Merino, and defeated him. A Brazil Mail has arrived. The information which it brings from Rio Janeiro has been already published. Consols, which left off on Saturday at 871 s for the Account, opened at the same price ; since which they have been done at 87i, owing to the French Funds coming higher-75f. 30c. Spanish Stock has improved to 28i HALF. PAST ONE. Some doubts have been entertained in the City respect ing the defeat of Merino by General Saarsfield, as no official accounts have been received on the subject ! but we understand that the French Government, after 'Change hours, hid received official despatches confirming the success of Saarsfield. Up to the present time we have no fresh arrivals, or any reports to notice. The Brazil mail is rather of an o d date. Consols have remained steady during the whole of the morning at 87i to 88 for the Account, with little or nothing doing, as the speculator s are making up their accounts against settling-day on Wednesday next. The Foreign Market is in the same dull state as the British; the chirf fluctuation has been in Spanish Stock, dune at 233, now 234 ; Portugu-se THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account, 88.

Mr. PEPYS moved that an order made by his Honour the Vice-Chancellor on the Ist of August last might be discharged. The question here was, which depended upon contradictory affidavits as well es some correspondence, whether Mr. Keeling had or had not given authority to his co-plaintiff to instruct the solicitor for the plaintiff to institute the suit in the joint names of Simpson and Keel ing. Mr. Bonner, the solicitor, contended that Mr. Simpson had authorised him in his own and in Mr. Keel ing's 'name to institute the proceedings. The original application to the Court was on the part of Mr. Keeling to have his name removed from the record, and that Mr. Bonner might he ordered to pay the costs. The Vice- Chancellor was of opinion that Mr. Keeling had not given authority for the use of his name, declared that Mr. Keeling was not liable to the costs, directed his name to he removed from the record, and that the attorney should pay the costs. Mr. Iron wag with Mr. Pepys. Mr. CHING was on the other side. He did not con sider it, as it had been argued, a balance of testimony ; for in his opinion the evidence was decidedly in favour of his client. 11Ir. PEPYS replied—His client had ❑o written autho rity frem Mr. Keeling to act for him, nor was that necessary. He was as confident as Mr. Ching could be that the weight of swearing was on his side, although to him it certainly did appear to be a question upon the evidence. To say the least of this, it was a very dishonest attempt, on the part of Mr. Keeling, to throw the whole of the burden of the proceeding that had taken place on his brother-in-law, Mr. Simpson. The LORD CHANCELLOR would read the affidavits ; but if he said nothing further, the parties were to understand that be discharged the order of the Court below, with tl,e costs of the proceedings there, but not with the costs of the motion here. He came to this inclination of opinion, from being satisfied upon the correspondence and affidavits that Mr. Keeling at all events knew of the institution of the suit, and of its going on in his name jointly with that of Simpson's, and that at least he had tacitly assented to the propriety of the same. MISS WICKHAM V. ?BILLIES AND OTHERS.-THE OYSTER CASE. Sir E. SUODEN moved fur another injunction against some other of the unfortunate defendants in this case, whose names were not mentioned at the bar. They had, as before, gone upon the grounds which Illiss Wickham contended were hers, and dredged for oysters. The case was in all respects similar to the one that had been argued sometime ago between the same plaintiff and some of the defendants. Nobody appeared to oppose it, and he was clearly entitled to his injunction. Mr. CHINO believed nobody appeared for the defen dants, in consequence of their bring too poor to appear to the suit, or to obtain office copies. Sir E. SUGDEN said that could not be so, because one of the defendants had appeared, and also had office copies. One of the dredgermen presented himself within the bar, and begged to inform his Lordship, that his suit affected an entirely different water to that to which the former injunction extended. The water now in question was separated by an island from the other, and was altogether different. Besides the defendants bad not had sufficient time to eet ready to defend themselves in this suit. Sir E. SUGDEN objected to this defendant being al lowed to go into the merits without regularly appearing, and having his evidence before the Court. The LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion that the in junction must issue. A week's time had already been given to the defendants to get ready, and sufficient ground bad not now been shown for a further extension of that time. Sir E. SUODEN observed that some strong means must be resorted to by the Court, because Miss W.'s property was being entirely destroyed by the expense of these suits. The LORD CHANCELLOR wished these poor men could be persuaded by some person to conform to the laws, be cause their struggle now would have to be regarded as one solely with the Court. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) His HONOUR this morning t0,,1c petition!. THELLUSON V. WOODFORD. Mr. PEMBERTON appeared for the petitioner in this case ; and the application was made under the terms of the Act of Parliament which was passed last session. The Act directed thar the trustees under the will of the late Mr. Thelluson should make a demise of the whole pro perty comprised in the will, or purchased after the date of that instrument, together with the mansion and furniture at Bioadsworth, to the present petitioner, Lord Randlesham, for the term of 50 years, if he should so long live, at the average annual rent of 11,500!. payable half yearly, with ce- t tin covenants foe r,,,airs, security fur rent, and with a ower of re-entry if the rent was not forthcoming in 105 . aye after the date of the respectively appointed periods of half-yearly payment. The object of the present application was to have it referred to the Master to approve of the terms of a proper lease to be executed in pursuance of the provisions of the Act in question, with liberty to state circum-tances specially, as some questions olght after wards arise for the opinion and direction of the Court. Mr. TINNEY appeared for the trustees, but did not op. pose the application. His HONOUR made the order according to the prayer of the petition. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY. This being the last day of terra, his Honour the VICE. CUANCELLOR was occupied lip to the period of our re porter leaving with motions behind the bar of no general interest. KING'S BENCH -(THIS DAY.) This being the last day of term, their Lordships gave judgment i❑ several cases which had been argued during the term. HILL V. THE MANCHESTER WATER WORKS COMPANY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendants, upon a bond for 2001. There had been al ready two trials ; on the latter a verdict was given for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court, whether the provisions of the Act for the government of the Company had been complied with, in is•uing the hon./. The Court this morning were of opinion that all that the Act required had been performed, and therefore they ordered the judgment to stand for the plaintiffi. The other judgments were devoid of public interest. BAIL CO UR T. Mr. Justice LITTLIDALE sat in this Court to hear motions. Mr. CARRINGTON moved for a writ of Habeas Corpus to bring up John Minter Hart, :mom the new prison, eletkenwell, in order to be examined on a trial that will take place in this Court to-morrow, and on which he was a material and necessary witness.—Rule granted. COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY). (Sittings in 8a;,c0.) TEAGUE V. WARD. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an attorney, to recover from the defendant the amount of a bill of costs for business done. The cause was tried on Thurs. day last, before Mr. Ju , tice Park, when a verdict was had for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS this morning moved for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not he set aside and a new trill granted. it appeared that in the year 1832 the defendant became the purchaser of certain property from a person named Sangster, who entered into an agreement to execute a conveyance of the property at his oven cost. Before this agreement was carried into effect, so far as related to the execution of the conveyance, Sangster became bankrupt, and the defendant applied to and gave a retainer to the plaintiff as his professional man to obtain him redress. In consequence of a difficulty arising in the mind of the plaintiff on the e instruction of the new Bankruptcy Act as applicable to the facts of the case, the opinion of a gentleman of the Chan cery Bar was asked as to the best course to be pursued. The advice of that gentleman was followed, and two petitions were presented to the Court of Review, the first praying the Court to direct a specific performance of the agreement by the assignees of the bankrupt, and in case they should make their election to retain the property, the second petition prayed that the defendant might he at liberty to prove upon ti e bank rupt's estate for the amount of the purchase money and interest. It was fur the business thus done by the plaintiff that the action was now brought ; and the defence set up was, that the plaintiff, in pursuing this course, which had proved unavailing fur its ohject, had been guilty ti neglivence, and was not entitled to recover. On the trial of the cause, the gentleman of the bar, whose opinion had been taken, was called as a witness, and in the course of his examination he was asked it, in the instructions which he had received from the plaintiff, his atten tion had been drawn to a pre existing mortgage, which over-rid the property in question. The an swer to that inquiry wad, that he has no recollec tion of that circumstance,, but if he bad been apprised of The O'Connor Don, Messrs. C. A. Walker, Talbot. O'Dwyer, Roche, and Bildwin, have severally written letters to the Dublin Newspapers, denyine, as respects themselves personally, the truth of Mr Hill's late statement A THIRD ATTEMPT OP DUII.I.S, THE FRENCH USHER, TO DESTROY HlMSELF.—Saturthiy morning Severin Dumas, the French usher, whose name was connec , ed with the melancholy death of Nliss at Barnes, and who was admitted in.o St. George's Hospital on Wednesday last, made another attempt to terminate his life. One of the muses in the ward heard a noise resembling the dropping of water, and on ap proaching the bed of Dumas she found the clothes satu rated wi , h blood, which was dropping from them on the floor. It appeared thst the unfbrtunate man removed the bandages during the ni 4 ht from his arms, and tore open the wound with his fingers. The hEemorrhage was stopped as soon as possible, and the unhappy min placed under restraint. He declared in an impassioned tone he was resolved, in spite of every obstacle, to bleed himself to death. He is not expected to recover. The members of the Carlton, or rather, as they designate themselves, Conservative Club, are prepar_ ing to build a new house upon a large scale, upon the vacant ground near the residence of Mr. Evans, the bookseller, in Pall Mill. The Commissioners of \Voods and Forests have permitt , cl the Club to occupy Lord Kensington's house, on Carlton-terrace, until the new mansiva is finished. One of the conspirators connected with Ankerstrom, who assassinated the King of Sweden, still survives, and is a resident in the environs of Paris. We have recently seen a letter from a celebrated French Ge nerd, the undeviating advocate of Republican principles, in which this fact is stated. About eight o'clock last evening, as the ca briolet 840, having in it three females, was proceeding at a moderate pace along the east side of Russell-square, the shafts suddenly snapped front the body, and the weight inside causing it to fall back, the passengers were thrown with great violence on their heads in tl,e top or cover. Providentially, though their bonnets, &c., were completely spoiled, neither of them was seriously hurt, but the cab was smashed almost to atoms. The Earl of Jersey was, during many years, the greatest favourite and most confidential friend of his late Majesty George the Fourth, when Prince of Wales, especially in a'l his betting operations on the turf, although the stud of his Royal Highness was under the immediate direction of the late Peter Delme, Esq. Even after the late Countess of Jersey ceased to he a favourite at Carlton House, her son, the present Earl, for a length of time retained his supremacy in the affections of the Prince. The health of the Hon. Miss Brougham, the favourite and only daughter of the Lord Chancellor, is, we understand, completely restored by her residence at Brighton; the saline breezes on the West Cliff are pecu liarly favourable to indisposition similar to that of this exceedingly clever and interesting child. INQUEST ON ALDERMAN PURCIIAS.—On Saturday last an inquest was held before Mr. Chevell, Coroner, on the body of Mr. Alderman Purchas. of Cain bridge. Dr. Thackeray sworn—This morning, about 10 minutes before 9, I was rt quested to go to Mr. Purchas's. I found the deceased in his study, lying on his track like a man in an apoplectic fit ; but, front a suggestion of one of the servants, I was induced to look at his neck, and saw Vie mark of a cord, which, in connexion with what I had previously heard, convinced toe that the deceased had de stroyed himself. I sent for Mr. A b bott, the surgeon , thinking it best t o h ave hi s op i n i on a l so. I h ave profes sionally attended deceased for a long time; his bodily complaints were, an intense pain in the head, and costive ness. It wis his constant apprehension that lie was sur rounded by enemies, and I was apprehensive of the way in which he would leave us ; I warned his family, and I am aware that they used every precaution ;hnt deceased would never let any on e b e i n his room.

He further relied upon the attempt made on the trial by the defendant to prove a tender to the plaintiff of M., on the foot of the now disputed bill of costs, as a recognition of an existing claim. He also had an affidavit of some observations by the Jury which were overheard. One of the Jury remirked, immediately on the case elos4lg, that they must find for the defendant, while another Juryman, after the verdict was recorded, said, " That verdict is wrong, and the plaintiff must apply for a new trial." The CHIEF JUSTICE-Take a rule to show cause. This being the last day of Michaelmas Term, the Court wis subsequently occupied, till our reporter left, in disposing of motions possessing nothing of public interest. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) J UDGINIENT.IIA YNES V. FOSTER. This is one of the cases arising out of the bankruptcy of Wood and Poole, late bill brokers in the City. There has been a great many from the same cause, in all of which there has been two trials, and altogether they have for the last eighteen months occupied much of the time and attention of this Court. To the merchants, indeed the whole commercial community of London, the follow. ing decision is of much importance, as it shows that a practice acted upon every day is illegal. The Loan CNIEF BARON said Wood and Poole had carried on business as bill brokers in the City. The plaintiffs put into their bands a number of bills for the purpose of discount. Wood and Poole had been in the constant practice of taking a quantity of bills to the de fendants, and receiving advances—not for regular discount, but merely, as it were, pledging the bills for a certain amount. Upon a Friday, they having upwards of sixty bills i❑ their possession, and being pressed for money, I went in the afternoon to the defendant's with the bill-, amounting to over 6,0001., at the same time receiving upon them an advance of 3,0001., which they paid into their bankers, and used for the purposes of their business, not paying it to the owners of the bills in their respective shares, but using it indiscriminately. On the Saturday Wood applied for, and obtained the bills back, for the purpose of taking a correct account of them, which he had not been able to do on the previous day, on account of the pressure of business. In the afternoon they were seen in the possession of Wood and Poole, by various customers, on the Saturday. According to the evidence, the bills were returned in the afternoon of Saturday, with the exception of one or two, which were replaced by others. It was also proved that, at the time of the pledging of the bills, Wood and Poole were a considerable sum in arrear with the defendants. The Court were now of opinion that a bill-broker had no authority to mix the bills he received from one customer, with those he received from another, fur the purpose of pledging them, in the manner in which they had been done in this case. The effect of such a thing being clearly that the good bills of one customer would be put in, in order to insure an advance upon others that were con sidered not so safe—making the owners of them answerable for the risks of another, which it was perfectly clear they never intended should be the case when they left the bills with the broker. That being the case, the question then was, how that rule affected the defendants in the present case. It was shown at the trial that the defendants were perfectly aware of the character in which Wood and Poole stood—in fact it was the defendants who had set them up in the business of bill brokering, therefore they were well aware that the bills they took of W. and P. on the Friday were not their property, but had been confided to them by trusting parties for the purpose of discount. In such circumstances it was their duty to have made strict enquiries as to the nature of the transaction before they parted with their money. The Court were of opinion that the defendants had not used due c iution, and that, therefore, the verdict (which was for the plaintiffs) should not be disturbed. The rule for anew trial was therefore discharged.

On Monday I ist a coroner's jury was summoned to at tend at the Guildhall, to inquire into the circninstancts connected with the death of a girl named Sarah Stubbs, shout eleven years of age, whose parents reside in the Dams. An elderly man named James Walker, a steward in the service of Mr. S. Thorpe, silk throwster, appeared in the dock as a prisoner. Eliza Griffiths was a " danter" in the service of Mr. Thorpe. The deceased, Sarah Stubbs, was an " engine piercer," and worked near her. She was near twelve years of age. On Friday afternoon, she saw the prisoner heat the deceased. Her " ends were down," and he cried out to her, " Sally, get those ends up, there." The deceased took no notice of him. He had a strap in his hand, this is it. (A strap was here produced, it appeared to be sixteen inches lung, tapering from one end to the other, the broader end being about an inch and a quarter.) He then came up the " alley" in which the deceased was working, and hit her three times over the head, and once over the arm. Her head was hare. They were hard blows. He then desisted. She cried a little, but not much. In about ten minutes after wards she complained of her head hurting her. It was a little after four when the strapping took place, and she kept on piercing until tea time. She then drank a little tea, but eat no bread and butter, and afterwards threw the tea up again. It was about five when she tml: her tea, and about a quarter before six when she threw it up again. :Mr. John Thorpe came in, and said, " if the child is really ill, she had better go home." She was very well before this oceuvrence took place. The stewards use straps of this sort to correct the chit:it-en, but Mr. Thorpe never allowed them to be used, if it came to his knowledge. The de ceased had often previously complained to her (witness), about her head—that it hurt her very ill. She was certainly rather neglectful of her work but she (witness), never saw her beaten before, though she had worked six months in the same room with her. Slie had seen girls beaten worse in the same room by the prisoner. Mr. Mend, house surgeon to the dispensary, was called in to the deceased about half alter two on Sunday afternoon. [Two days after the occur rence took place! ! Ed.] The parents of the child did not in the first instance inform him what had happened to her, hut he ascertained the truth before leaving the house, and used such treatment as he thought the symptoms required. His opinion was, that death was caused lay the concussion and inflammation of the brain, follow ing the beating the child was said to have received. The Jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against the prisoner. The foreman, Mr. Sargent, said, that he was desired by his brother Jurymen, to express their regret that beating with such an instrument as had been produced to.day, should prevail in any factory, and they hoped that wherever such a practise did exist it would be discon tinued in future. The Coroner then issued his warrant for the commitment of the prisoner to take his trial at the ensuing assizes. We can confidently state that the tnill owne-s here, both as a body and individually, utterly dis countenance the chastisement of children, praferritag, whenever they are negligent or inattentive, to be without their services. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. In tha past week there were moderate arrivals of most descrip tions of Grain, and the trade remained unvaried. This morn ing the fresh supplies are again moderate.

Barley, though dull in sale, main_ tains the terms of last Monday. Beans are more plentiful than of late, and have met a heavy trade at their late prices. Boil_ ing Pease are unvaried. Grey Pease are rather dearer. Oats are firm in value, with a fair demand.

INCENI)IAIfSLr N r ~~ , A destructive fir e , the art of an incenatary, took place last Tuesday morning, on the premises of Mr. Levi, an extensive farmer, residing near Newport Pagnel. It was discovered by one of Mr. Levi's labourers, between four and five o'clock, in the machine shed, befue it had (lone much injury ; but the place having been filled with straw only the day before, its prop., ss was very rapid, and in a 'ew minutes the adjoining barn, containing a large quantity of wheat, was in flares. Soon afterwards the stacks in the yard shared the same fate. Wheit, beans ; hay, and clover ricks, fourteen in number, were in a blaze. All attempts to extinguish it were rendered useless, from the scanty supply of water, and the very combustible nature of the ma'erial. It is supposed that a thrashing machine lately erected by Mr. Levi was the offending cause, and that some misguided wretch has had recourse to this dread ful expedient, for the purpose of revenging the injuries supposed to be inflicted on the labourers by its use. The produce of nearly 150 acres of wheat has thus been altoge tier destroyed, and that probably only to revenge an imaginary wrong. We hope some method cf convincing agriculittral labourers of the impossibility of bettering their condition by such means will be speedily adopted. The property was insured, though not to an amount suffi cient to cover more than half the damages. A reward of 500/. has been (lined for the apprehension and conviction of the incendiary.—Leamington Free Press. A straw rick, the property of Mr. S'ares, of Dioxford, was burnt down on Saturday last. There is no doubt but it was done by an incendiary. We understand that a. letter (through the post), has been received by Mr. Stares, stating that he may expect his premises to be burned down very soon.—Portsmouth Herald. On Tuesday morning, a fire was discovered in a hovel or open stable, in a close in the occupation of Mr. Abra ham Sapeote, farmer, at Sltrh Luffenham, Rutland, and the building was in a short time entirely destroyed. There is not a doubt that the fire was wilfully and maliciously occasioned ; and a large reward is offered for the discovery of the offender.— Carlisle Journal. On Thursday evening, a hay rick was discovered to be o❑ fire in a field belonging to Mr. Plutntn,r, nel. New port ; but by the active exertions of the inhabitants, it was got under. It was the work' of an incendiary. Salisbury Herald. A❑ alarm of fire was given early on Sunday evening, and it proved to be at some stalls belonging to Awbrose Go 'lard, Esq., in the occupation of Mr. Joseph New. The stalls were entirely consumed, and the tire had reached a small barn adjoining, but by the timely arrival of the engine, and the great exertions made by those who repaired to the spot, that building was preserved with no other dam ige than the destruction of the that, h. A wheat rick which stood near it was saved by being taken to pieces, and carried to a distant part, and some farm buildings were also saved, hut the object of the Meer. diary appears to have been the destruction of the whoh property, as the fire was kindled in several places.—. Hampshire Courier. On Saturday last, about nine o'clock, a straw rick in the rick yard of Mr. R. H. Hares, at Droxford, was wilfully and maliciously set on fire, whereby the saute was destroyed. If the wind had been in a contra. y direction at the time, the safety of the greater part of the village would have been endangered, in fact it could not have been saved, from the contingency of the houses and other buildings to the spot where the rick stood. The property of Mr. Merritt, of Wallington, was placed in great hazard on Thursday by the act of an incendiary. About eleven o'clock, a stack of old hay, of about eleven tons, was discovered to be blazing, and as it was surrounded by five or six others, and contiguous to the farm buildings, nothing but the great exertions of the inhabitants of Fareham, who, with their parish engine, were speedily on the spot, saved the property. W. Thresher, Esq., and several gentlemen of the town, ren• tiered essential service by their advice. Why such an outrage should be attempted on Mr. Merritt's property, cannot be discovered ; lie is a man who mixes little with the world, and never in parish matters, and is remarked f or his charity and Itenevnletwe.

THE TITHE CRUSADE.—THE MAD PAR soNs.—We have never felt the least disposition to give the ecclesiastical crus eters credit for the virtue of perse verance. Their worst enem'es cannot wish them to act differently from the manner of their present conduct. Tne following statement has b en for warded to this office by a highly respectable and patriotic g-ntletnan, in the county of Lengiord.• When such things continue to happen daily, no wonder the parsons are beloved. But the sphere of their mischievous power is about to be curtailed, ano then we hope to see them become peaceable, useful, and respected members of society. " Longford, 19th Nov., 1833.—Yesterday, the day advertised fir the Bd. of Mr. Hinds' and Mr. O'Connor's cows, setzed on "for tithe by the Reverend Georee Crawford, being the f it of Balnalee, where the cattle were impounded, his Revs, rence, not being quite confident of the justice of bus claim, did not Ike to proceed to the sale on a day that would he likely to afford so many buyers. I-fe, therefore, had notice posted on the gste of the pound that the safe was postponed to this day, Tuesday, the 19th. Mr. O'Connor had his cows brought in, to exonerate his bail, anti after waiting for more than an hour, be had them tittav e home, the parson or his driver not appealing.
