I ,liddle Temple ; he was the brother of John Henr y 9 Ward, a solicitor, at Cheltenham, and his father was 7tretary to the Royal Academy. He knew the plaintiff a l e Itaately, and knew that his brother was also intimate 14 11 him. On the 13th December, 1831, the plaintiff . l kaunted the bill for witness's brother at his father's house, ill , Newman-s•reet, Oxford-street. The plaintiff g ave a Leek for 9801 upon Coutts' for it, and witness paid the l 'eck in on his brother's account. Cross-examined by Sir. J. Scitatrrr—His brother 4 tired him to observe that the bill was di.counted. Wit -411 was then a witness to a deed, by which his brother tOrtgaged to the plaintiff some picures. Had heard of his b rother boriowing 2501. of the plaintiff a short time before. Pe-examined—Those pictures were pai nted b y his , 'tther, the artist. The plaintiff had then a dvanced 3,0001. ' 4 his brother. Mr. John Henry Howard, the brother of the last wit -44111 and a solicitor, stated that be had had the bill, ar,d I le deposited it for safe custody in the plai ntiff's hand " ; h e and the plaintiff were on the most intima te terms. On t p' day be so deposited it, the plaintiff gave h im a check for s 25 0/. In December, 183 1, witness was about to este ' , IA himself in a solicitor's firm at Cheltenham, and re tlairing money for that purpose, be borrowed 3,2001. of the plaintiff; in that sum was included 9811. 10s. 2d. *hieh the plaintiff gave for the bill in question. i Cross-examined—Got the bill from Daniel Pul len, through the medium of Robert Cayley, and the Plaintiff was present when he received it. He gave Cayley ' 501., and expungt , d a debt of 610/. due from Pullen to h imself, for the bill. He had arrested Pullen for the !

Ilad advanced the 610/. 1a ~ Pullen, at the instance of a client o f his. Did not g ive Pullen a receipt for the 610/. Sir JAMES SCARLETT, in reply to this additional t Vidence, again addressed the Jury, and contended that f rom all the evidence there appeared so much suspicion, that it was impossible for the Jury to be satisfied that the Plaintiff had given value for the bill. The SoLicrroß GENERAL replied on behalf of the Plaintiff. His Loßnsmr having summed up the e vidence, the 'ury retired, and had not returned into Court when our Reporter left. •••1801•=,................1 OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) George Bennett, George Dybell, and Joseph Baker were indicted for feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling house of John Jealeou. Turner, and stealing therein two coats and other articles, his property, a silver tea-pot, value 20/., the property of Charlotte Jane Wes ton, two shawls, and a pe lisse, the p ro p ert y of Elizabeth Harris, and two gowns and other articles, the property of Emma Clark ; and Cornelia Dickenson and Britannia Turner were indicted for feloniously receiving the said Prop er ty, well knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. STAMMERS defended the prisoner Bennett. John Jealeous Brimrner deposed that he resided at No. Mornington Place, Hampstead Road, and by trade is a Printer. On the 14th of November witness retired to bed about eleven o'clock, and two of the servants retired at the same time ; the other servant having gone to bed Previously. The house was left perfectly secure in all respects. The next morning about seven o'clock Witness found the house had been entered, the back door opened, as it appeared, by a skeleton key, hot there appeared no marks of violence. Foot. marks were apparent in the garden, as well as ap- Pearances as if persons had scrambled over the wall. On art examination of the house, considerable property belong ing to witness, as well as to some ladies in the house. were hissed. That property had been taken both from the Parlour and kitchen. The property belonging to the Witness taken were a hat, two coats, a pair of shoes, nine Pairs of stockings, one silver spoon, two brushes, a pack of cards, and seven keys. Witness has since seen some of the Itnckinga, the keys, and the pack of cards. The keys and cards were found on the prisoner Bennett when he Was taken into custody, in a house in St. Giles's. The Priaensr Bennett said the keys belonged to his boxed, which Were at his lodgings, but on searching them no boxes Were found. On the mantle-piece two pair of witness's stockings were found. The prisoner, Cornelia Dickenson, Was with Bennett in the room, and claimed the stockings Is her property. The value of the property lost belong ing to witness was about 4/. Witness got some informa tion from a person of the name of Parsons, which led to taking the prisoner Bennett. Cross-examined by Mr. SmasaiEßS—The door by which the entry was made had been locked for three weeks, and the key hung up in the back parlour. Elizabeth Harris corroborated the testimony of the last Witness as to the breaking into the house, and proved that the articles enumerated in the indictment as her property Were stolen from the kitchen. Witness had since seen one of her shawls at a pawnbroker's. A silver tea-pot, and a quantity of plate belonging to Airs. Weston, had also been taken from the kitchen. Emma Clark gave similar testimony, and proved that she was in the service of Mrs. Weston, who lodges in the house of the prosecutor ; and that witness lost two gowns and three petticoats from the front kitchen on the night in question. A quantity of plate, consisting of a silver tea- Pot, ewer, spoons, and forks, the property of her mistress, Were also taken. Witness has seen none of the plate since, but one gown and one petticoat belonging to witness has been found at a pawnbroker's. Mrs. Charlotte Weston deposed that she was a widow, and resided in the house of the prosecutor, and that she lost the plate mentioned in the indictment as her property, and which was worth about 20/., on the night of the robbery. Witness also lost nine yards of brown Holland, a single volume of " Cowper's Poems," and a number of tow e ls. The plate bad not been recovered, but has seen the book, brown Holland, and one towel since. George Powell, police Sergeant E., 10, proved that on the 16th of November he apprehended Bennett and Dickenson in a room at Grout's lodging.house, Lawrence street, St. Giles's ; sound on Bennett Si. 16s , a hunch of keys, and a pack of cards. The prisoner Dickenson claimed as hers a pair of stockings which were on the chimney piece. The articles witness now produced. Cross_xamined—The cards are an ordinary pack of cards. The prisoner Bennett said the keys belonged to his boxes. They are plain keys, and there is nothing particular about them. Found also two memorandums on Bennett. Thomas Lindegreen, a police constable, proved that he apprehended the prisoner Dybell and Baker at a house in Church-street, St. Giles's, at a quarter before eight o'clock, on the evening of the 16th of November. They were both in one room. Upon Baker witness found a pair of stockings, which have since been claimed by the prose cutor. In the room witness also found two brushes, a quantity of stockings, and two keys amongst the coals, one of which opens the back room parlour door in the prosecutor's house. Witness also found three knives a pair of scissors and a metal spoon, and two towels since owned by Mrs. Wilson. In an adjoining room witness also found a quantity of stockings and a table cloth, a knife and fork, and five keys, one of which opens the prose cutor's front street door. Took from the prisoner Turner an apron and volume of poems. William Rumby, a pawnbroker's assistant, produced a gown, petticoat, and shawl, which had been pledged with him on the 15th of November, at nine o'clock in the morning; also some brown holland by a woman, but not either of the female prisoners. Some other articles were also pledged by another woman on the same day. Frederick Parsons proved that he was at the Tottenham street theatre on Friday, the 15th November, and sat next but one to Dybell and Baker in the gallery. Heard Dybell say to another person " We had a rare pull last night." The other asked what was it? Dybell replied a silver tea-pot and stand and other articles. The third person inquired where? and Dybell or Baker answered near Mornington-place. Oa the following morning witness rave information of what he had beard to the prosecutor. The prisoner Dybell said that the witness had been in the House of Correction twice. The witness denied this, and said he had never been even charged with felony. The prisoner Baker, slid he knew the witness bad picked pockets. This also was denied, and in answer to the Court he said he was in work as a ladies' shoemaker. The prosecutor identified such of the articles pro duced as were his property, as also did Mts. Weston, identify tl,e book found upon Turner. The prisoners protested their innocence, and accounted for the possession of the property by saying they had purchased it from an Irishwoman in the street. The prisoners Bennett and Dyhell received a good cha racter from several respectable witnesses. The RECORDER recapitulated the evidence of the Jury, who after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilt/ against all the male prisoners, but acquitting the two females. NEW COURT. (Before:the COMMON SERGEANT and a Middlesex Jury.) Ann liewitson was indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling house of Abram Robinson, and stealing ti:erein 11 pairs of shoes, and divers articles, his property. Ann Robinson, the wife of the prosecutor, stated that she lives in the vicinity of Spitalfields. On the evening of the day named she went from home and left her boy in the shop. She was absent about three hours, and on her return she missed 11 pairs of shoes. The glass of the shop window had been broken, and paper was placed over the aperture. It was through the paper that the hand of some person bad been thrust. Her son, who was left at home at the time, is not here. COMMON SERGEANT-Then we may dismiss the charge of breaking ; who knows but that the boy broke the window; he ought to have been here. A person to whom the prisoner offered some shoes for sale caused her to be given in custody. The Comiswri SERGEANT said there was not a tittle of proof against the prisoner, and she was acquitted. Thomas Coppin was indicted for receiving from an evil disposed person 15 umbrellas, 21b. of segars, and other articles, t' e property of William Hill, well know ing the same to have been stolen. The prisoner was tried with three other persons on Saturday last as principals, when they were all acquitted, but the prisoner was detained to answer for the minor offence. The evidence was very long, but the short facts were as follows :—A coach was traced at the dead of the night from the prosecutor's shop, to near the prisoner's house in West street, Smithfield. Search was made at the pri soner's house, which was described as one of ill fame, .nd frequented by persons of both sexes. The umbrellas in question were not found there, but on the roof of a house, between which and Coppin's house another interves.ed. In the privy and cellar of the prisoner's house were found some segars in a questionable situation, but to their identity the prosecutor could not swear. Blundon, a city watchman, deposed that be saw three men go into the prisoner's house on the morning in question with some bundles, but whether they were long, round, a pocket handkerchief, a coffin, or a dead body in a sack, he could not say.—(Laughter.) A policeman proved that the trap door of Coppin's house was open, and footmarks were traced to the spot on the other house where the stolen umbrellas were found. The prosecutor, upon being re-called, swore to a pocket book, found in the prisoner's yard, and to one of the umbrellas. Mr. CLARKsON submitted that the prisoner ought not to be called upon for his defence ;—first, there was no evidence of the prisoner having committed an offence, and secondly, that, at all events, there was no evidence that the prisoner was a guilty receiver of the property in question. If there was any evidence at all, it was that the prisoner was the thief. The Coatmorr SERGEANT was of opinion that the Jury • should decide upon the facts. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. VICE-CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY. COBBOLD V. WALLER. The bill in this case was filed for the purpose of having the declaration of the Court that the will of the testator was well proved. From the statements of Sir E. SUGDEN, it appeared that shortly after the death of the testator one of the parties in the cause burnt a great quantity of his papers, and among the rest, by some unaccountable accident his will. A copy however had been discovere.l which was sworn to be a true one, by the person copying it, and that, by the consent of all parties, was admitted to probate in the Ecclesiastical Court. The consent of all parties had likewise been obtained to the adoption of the I c ourse prayed for by this suit , a nd the Court, therefore, made the order. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.

If combinations have produced effects on machinery, production, and the state of the markets, which must sooner or later react power fully upon the condition of the operatives, they have already in a moral point of view done in finite mischief. The ties which should bind masters to men, and men to masters, are founded upon the mutual interest of each, and the confi dence which should mark their intercourse is one of the most powerful moral restraints which can possibly bear upon the springs of society. This beneficial influence is entirely lost in the manufacturing districts, and this we look upon as one of the most unfavourable circumstances connected with their present and future pros pects. The natural relations of masters and servants are destroyed, and their proper order in some degree inverted; the sense of gratitude and obligation, which ought to exist between parties so situated has been usurped by suspi cion, contempt, and hatred. Better, a thousand times better, had it been for the men to have re tained their natural position— " Ut satius multo jam sit, parere quietum, Quarn regere, imperio res velle." The struggle which they are carrying on cannot eventually benefit themselves, even should they for a time succeed in imposing restrictions upon the employment of the masters' capital. In the end they must either succumb, or our social in stitutions must be entirely remodelled. It may, however, be confidently predicted that the struggle will terminate by making them passive slaves to machinery, and there is no power in existence which can prevent this termination but a cordial union between the contending parties. A state of vassalage will be the result of our manufacturing system if this struggle con tinues, not unlike the villainage of feudal times. Employment must be had by the poor man or he must become a burden upon his country, and this employment can only be had by submitting to the will of those who can find it. Already the gangs that crowd our great mills are ri gorously shut up for twelve hours per day, watched over, and their motions regulated by the clock-work movements of machinery; already have many of the great masters the power of in flicting the worst of calamities, abject poverty, upon hundreds of families; and why is it that they do not this ? The friend of humanity will answer, regard for their welfare. The man who knows the truth, says, because as yet neither his mules nor looms are self-acting, and he requires hands to superintend their ope rations. Approximations to this state of things are hourly making. Where 300 men • •ere re quired for the production of a certain quantity of manufacture, 80 are now sufficient, and no thing but the rapid extension of this branch of trade has restrained the pressure of a pauperized population. It is our wish that it may extend with even greater rapidity, fur we are lovers of our country ; and we know also that she has still wealth, industry, and facilities for manufac ture, which place her, in this respect, far above any other country in the world. And these considerations make us anxious that no check should be given to our career of manufacture. The danger which threatens us is not from without : if we are true to ourselves, we may continue to be the great emporium for trade to the whole universe. We have within our small territorial limits, resources all but unbounded : the mine is but partially opened, and to make its riches available two things are mainly essen tial—free trade in the most extensive sense of the word, and a proper understanding between capital and industry. The restrictions which have hitherto separated the common interest of nations must fade away before the progress of liberal opinion, though the Autocrat of Russia may please himself with the insane idea that his will of iron can arrest this. The madness of Xerxes, who forged fetters for the " great sea," was of the same quality. Emperor though he may be, he is but a straw upon the stream— borne about by its eddies, and conspicuous only from the accident of birth. Combination is, above all other, the most threatening danger at home. The master has no fellow-feeling with his operatives —the operatives none with t h e master. The master views them as the most expensive part of his machinery, and as cramps upon his enterprise,—the expression of distrust and dislike, both loud and deep, which he hears around him—the acts of outrage and violence which he has witnessed—the wicked throwing and murder which have made him a prisoner in his own house—the utter extinction of decent respect and proper feeling towards himself, have raised a barrier between them which renders him insensible or indifferent to the well-doing of the operative; while the operative views the master as the tyrant grinding him to the dust-- looks upon every innovation as a mark of abuse of power —openly exults in the capability he possesses of doing mischief—listens to the viru lent abuse poured out by some restless detna gogue—binds him self b y oaths to restrictive rules, and triumphs in the possession of a power which he exercises so as to become a curse. " Mac perinde aunt, ut illius animus qui ea possidet, Qui uti scit, ei bona, illi qui non utitur recte, malts." The continuance of our manufacturing pre eminence is intimately bound up with this state of things. Hundreds of thousands of work men closely united, and living within a very narrow circle, see improvement going on around them, rapidly contracting their sphere of utility. Instead of making efforts to accommodate them selves to their peculiar position, they proclaim their determination to keep up their rats of payment ; instead of listening to the suggestion of their employers, and enabling them to make such arrangements as would permit them to meet the markets by occasional moderate reduc tion in the price they pay for labour, they set I them at defiance, abandon their mills, intimidate other workmen, and consequently oblige the masters to make what shift they can, during any temporary stagnation, and the masters in their turn take every opportunity in an indirect man ner to lessen the actual amount of payment. Many of these opportunities are galling and apparently arbitrary, and are constantly bringing the parties into vexatious collision. 11l will is thus kept up, bad passions are roused, and masters and men, in place of looking upon each other with mutual kindness and confidence, are ever at variance, and ready to sacrifice their separate interests. These are volcanic elements, ready at any mo ment to burst out into destructive activity. The evils they have produced upon the men are in calculable, as moral and social beings. They are made the dupes of designing fellows, who lead them from their homes to union meetings, instil the poison of discontent into their minds, teach them the possession of power without the wisdotn necessary for its proper governance, and make them, in too many instances, bad men, bad husbands, sons, and fathers, and bad citi zens. We tell them, in a kindly spirit, that they are ruining themselves, and preparing the way for reducing their personal cond►tion into bondage beneath an iron master. We would urge them, by all that is dear to themselves, to throw aside hatred and dissension, and, instead of combining against the masters, combine with them ; and to the masters, as men of education, and of more comprehensive views, we would " forget and forgive," and hold out the right hand of fellowship to our inferiors. They may succeed in driving then► in a great measure out of the market by machinery, but let them remem ber that their property and existence during the struggle a-e both precarious, and that unless a better understanding arises between labour and capital, a long continuance of harassing vexations, can only end in a violent explo sion, the result of which no man can foretell. The spread of education may do much, though its operation hitherto has been somewhat ques tionable, We are firm advocates for instructing the people ; but there is more wanted than mere elementary knowledge. The re-enactment of the laws against combination, however penal their statutes, would be utterly insufficient to put down the evil. They were to a great degree inoperative before, and might tend to hasten a crisi., which we fervently hope will be yet averted. Manchester, 27th Nov. 1833. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

(From the Limerick Chronicle of Saturday.) A general order has issued to cease recruiting for the army, and this, of course, is regarded as immediately pre ceding the reductions which are in contemplation. Lieut.-Colonel Arbuthnot has arrived in Kilkenny, and resumed the command of the 90th Light Infantry,—the distribution of which regiment is as follows :—H ead quarters at Kilkenny, Captain White and one company at Thomas-town, Captain Cuming with one hundred men at Castlecomer, Captain Eyles with one company at New townbarry, Captain Eld and company at Gore's Bridge, Lieut.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, EXTRAORDINARY FEAT.—On Monday week, Mr. George Brown, huntsman to the Sinnington hounds, ac companied by another gentleman, rode the distance of 45 miles to meet Lord Halewood's hounds, which threw off at Follyfuot Ridge. After enjoying the day's sport, they returned with the same horses ; niet the Sinnington hounds about a mile from that place on Tuesday morning, when Mr. G. Brown took a fresh horse, and thus carried off his sway as huntsman, after having rode the above distance. LEALHOLM AND UGTHORFE FOX- HOU NOS. •••011 Wed nesday, the 20th ult., these hounds according to appoint ment, met at Stainton-Dale, one of the roughest hunting countries in the Noith Riding of Yorkshire. Amongst a numerous company of sportsmen present, Mr. Malian, of Stainton-Dale, and Mr. Laidlaw, of Harwood-Dile, made themselves conspicuous. The united ages of these two veteran sportsmen amounted to 156 years. The latter, during the day, was observed taking a wall in preference to opening a gate, not many yards distance. On being remonstrated with for doing so, he remarked, that he thought it easier going over the wall than opening the gate. This gentleman has hunted with fox-hounds for the last 65 successive years; and the age of himself, added to that of the horse which he then rode, amounted to 110 years.

It is a fact that will interest the friends of this noble amusement, that Jeremiah Hawkins, Esq., rode up frotas home to meet his Lordship, and re turned to the Haw the same day, after the chace, upon his favourite old horse, which he rode at the same place, with Lord Seagrave's hounds, on the same day of the same month 24 years ago.—Cheltenham Journal. he WHO IS THE TRAITOR ?—Mr. Hill has sent answers (which have been published in the Dublin Journals) to each of those Irish Members who have written to him on the subject.

This carriage recommenced its experimental trips to and from Wellington-street, Waterloo-bridge, on Monday. The road now pursued is from the bot tom of Balsam-hill, on the other side of Clapham common, to the steam coach office, Wellington street, and back, a distance of ten miles. The coach starting at nine o'clock in the morning from the former place, where a convenient station, with the necessary supply of water and coke has been esta blished, to the steam coach-office and back every three quarters. of an hour, till three journeys have been completed each day. The journeys on Monday were performed with success, at the rate of ten railed an hour; but it would seem that the trustees of the road at Balaam-hill have taken offence at the use thus made of their highway, and have not only co vered that part of the road next the starting-place with rough gravel, but have actually threatened to seize the carriage and engine, if Sir Charles attempts to persevere, pronouncing the experiment a public nuisance. Whether any attempt will be made to put this threat into execution remains to be seen; but we apprehend nothing will be done which the law does not sanction ; and the question of " nui sance" has already been pretty well tried by the starting of the coach unmolested, in one of the most populous parts of the metropolis. The terms for the trip, which can only be con sidered one of curio sity, is half-a-crown one way, and four shillings backwards and forwards. The following is the official report of the late ex perimental journey to Stony Stratford " REPORT OF THE RESULT OF AN EXPERIMENTAL JOUR NEY UPON THE MAIL COACH LINE OF THE HOLEYk: EAD ROAD, IN LIEUT.-COLONEL SIR CHARLES DANCIA STEAM CARRIAGE, ON THE IST OP Nov., 1833. " Public attention having been attracted to the practi• cability of travelling with locomotive engines upon ordinary turnpike roads, by a report of a Committee of the House of Commons, of the 12th of October, 1831, stating that, in the opinion of the Committee, the pm icticability of such mode of travelling had been fully established, and more recently by a report of a journey to and from Brighton having been successfully performed by Lieutenant-C”lonel Sir Charles Dance's steam carriage, as well as by the fact that the same carriage was daily in use between London and Greenwich, conveying numerous passmgers through the crowded suburbs of the metropolis, without the slightest inconvenience to the public, we were desirous of personally making an experiment of the facility with which a carriage of that description could perform a journey of considerable length ; and having selected the mail coach line of the Holyhead road for the purpose of such experiment, we made an arrangement with Sir Cnarles Dence for the use of his carriage, ou Friday, the Est instant. " The weight of the Carriage, with the water, coke, and three persons upon it, was about 3 tons, cwt. * " The weight of the Omnibus Coach at tached to it 1 (-) • " The weight of the passengers, them luggage, and some additional sacks of coke, about 1 -- 15 -- " Making the gross weight moved 6 tons, 0 cwt. " The motive power was an engine with two cylin ders, seven inches in diameter and sixteen inches stroke. The pressure of steam on the tubes constituting the boiler, or g , nerator, was adjusted to 100 lbs. per square inch. " Before the carriage had proceeded sir miles, one of the tubes of which Sir Charles Dance's boiler is composed was found to leak so fast as to render repair absolutely ne cessary. It was also apparent that the size of the engine was not sufficient to carry so great a weight along a heavy road at any high velocity. " The weather was by no means favourable, there hav ing been much rain in the course of the night and morn ing, so as to make the road heavy; added to which the winter coating of new materials had in many places been laid upon the road. Notwithstanding these obstacles, on our arrival at Stony Stratford, 521 t miles from town, it was found by Messrs. Macneill and Carpmael, who bad taken accurate minutes of the loss of time occasioned by stoppages, that the average rate of travelling had been seven tnles per hours " Thus there can be no doubt that, wlth a well-con structed engine of greater power, a steam carriage con veyance, between London and Birmingham, at a velocity unattainable by horses, and limited only by safety, might he maintained ; and it is our conviction that such a project might be undettaken with great advantage to the public, more particmarly if, as might obvion.ly l*the case ; without interfering with the general use of the cold, a portion of it were to be prepared, and kept in a state most suitable For travelling in locomotive steam carriages.
