N 7 MARCH 5, 1844. • SOCIETY. A preliminary meeting of a number of influential gentlemen connected with the above Society, who have already taken offices at 22, Parliament-street, was held on Saturday last, at the British Coffee-house, Cock spur-street, for the purpose of extending its operations. 'The Chair was taken, at two o'clock, by Joshua &hole field, ,Esq., f.P. In the course of the proceedings the meeting was. addressed at some length by . the Chair man; John Taylor, Esq. ; Robert Wallace, Esq., M.P. ; LamieT. Murray, Esq.; Charles Enderby, Esq.; A. Spottiswoode, Esq. ; Alex. Wilson, Esq.; E. Capps, Esq.; E. Body, Esq.; and several others. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD, in opening the proceedings of the meeting, said that he should follow his usual custom, and say but little; yet, on the present occasion, he must ob serve that, besides giving his hearty concurrence to the object and proceedins of the society, he ,felt assured that the time for carrying out its principles was most op portune and well-advised. The, pretended prosperity of the country was all fallacious, and unless some great change was effected, the dark side of the picture would very soon be shown, and he therefore trusted that a speedy success would attend this Society, whichprovided the only effectual remedy for the evil. Mr. TAYLOR, in moving the adoption of the resolu tions, expressed his regret that the gentleman was not present by whom they had been originally drawn up, as he could have done more justice to the subject. With reference to the first resolution, he thought it important that the public should know how grievous the effect was ofthat change of currency wifteß7was made in 1819 on the poorest of the productive classes. Mr. Pitt, in 1797, could not raise the annual taxation, levied chiefly in duties on commodities, above twenty millions a year, iii a gold currency, or in paper convertible into gold at a fixed price ; but as soon as he set free the paper , currency, and left it to be convertible into gold at its market price, the springs of industry were restored to action, and in the next year taxes were raised to the amount of thirty millions, which were afterwards in creased to more than fifty millions. In the middle of that twenty years, from 1809 to 1829, when they were made to produce fifty-three millions, a Bill was passed, which caused all these taxes to become payable in that fixed gold value, which was impossible to be borne in .1797, with a taxation of less than twenty millions a year. This Act (of 1819) had deeply depressed the working classes, and filled our poor-houses and . gaols with un happy creatures who must beg or steal for a subsistence. Some persons may doubt the truth of this statement, and ask how the poor producer can be affected by our heavy taxation, since if he has lower wages given him, the prices of the necessaries of life are reduced in an equal proportion ? They do not consider that payments may .be made in kind as well as in money. If the employers of the poor are called on for more taxes than they can afford' to pay, or are, able to recover by' in creased' prices from the wealthy as consumers, they will turn round on their workpeople, and force them to work more hours for less wages, and so produce a greater quantity of goods than before at no increase of cost. Thus the poor pay that excess of taxation which their employers are unable to meet A difference of only, 2s. per week in the wages of six millions of people makes a difference to them of thirty millions a year in their earn ings; and it is notorious that wages since the year 1819 have been reduced to a greater extent than this. The remedy is to be found in a return to that system of paper money, improved ia .principle, under which this enor mous amount of taxation had been permitted to grow up. The remedy would be pointed out in the resolutions, , which he would now beg to read, and propose for adop tion by the meetinm.—[The resolutions will be found in our advertising columns.] Mr. WALLACE, M.P., in seconding the motion, said that he had formerly joined a Society, established for similar objects, in 1833, and which was supported by 150 .Members of the House of Commons. That Society, he conceived, did not sufficiently grapple with the subject of the currency, and its exertions consequently , relaxed. He-was glad, however, that at last some definite and fixed principles had been advanced by this Society, and he felt confidence in the result of its exertions. He would observe, that though the objects of this Society precluded any consideration of merely party politics, and, from the course of events, the abolition of the corn laws might be considered to be of that character, yet he could not help saying that he had strong opinions on.the abolition of the corn-laws, but that if any mischief was likely to arise by the carrying out of that measure, the exertions of this Society were calculated to enlighten the public on points on which information was greatly needed, and that the accomplishment of its object would altogether avert the evils which many apprehended from extinguishing the protection of home-grown corn. The I Government, he thought, were determined to have one bank of issue for the three kingdoms, and it was impor tant that the moment should be seized upon, while the topic of the monetary system- was necessarily engross ing much of public interest. He felt convinced that discussion would at this time do good; and that, amidst the various remedies proposed for averting the acknowledged evils of the present system, it would tend to fix public atten tion, on the most prevalent and injurious of them all; and he hoped the activity of the promoters and other members of the Society would conduce to blend ing the exertions of all parties in one common effort, for the benefit of the suffering industry of the country. The attempt to conduct the business of the country with a currency of a metallic standard was evidently futile. The production of gold might have' increased ; for, though the South American mines had been less ener getically worked of late, yet the returns of the Russian mines had largely increased, and the amount of bullion in the vaults of the Bank of England was now, he believed, greater than it had ever been ; but what was the trade and the industry of the country the better for it? Nothing, absolutely nothing ; and he firmly be lieved that, until the currency of the country was put upon a better basis, there would be no prevention of the fluctuations to which the commercial world was daily, and most injuriously subject. Mr. Wallace was glad to see that this Society avoided the evil of that party to which he had formerly belonged. The former Society bad avoided everything like a declaration of positive principle, and had consequently become like a rope of sand ; but, in the proceedings of this Society, and in the resolutions now submitted to this meeting, such principles were clearly laid down and positively defined, and he would say that, in seconding the adoption of these resolutions, he most cordially concurred in all that they the Society formed in 183 3 , a n d e v lc a ti e n r a c e Lw d. Ai Wallace h tm a n d iE re M fer u r it e ß d, A L stated was a a able h e a t t 0 , havingconfirm to whichbwe what a n t con- had fallen from that Hon. Gentl em an. That Society , which numbered among its members a large proportion of the Members of both Houses of Parliament, had failed in consequence of not adopting a fixed principle. Too much influentialdeference wpaasrtipeasi,dwtioththteheoti:e7f and scruples of some obtaining their Parliamentary support and carrying the measu re the y recommended. For his own,part he had never had con fidence in any attempt to move Parliament until the Members had been acted upon through their constitu encies, and he had often urged the adoption of such measures as would have enabled the Society then formed to fall back upon the people, and those who were suffer ing under the effects of the evil complained of. Idis opi ' nion was in favour of placing the principjp-s" So ciety in their true light before the publiltippecially with distinctness before. those by whotar ey . were op posed. He did not wish to be mixed up - w 4 those who advocated an irresponsible paper remedy, or b.ermisreml presented as wishing to depreciate the value of imoney. by any arbitrary measures. Mr. Murray wished it to be known . that the Society stated it as broadly' and as firmly as possible, that a fixed price' of gold,- as the' basis of a monetary system, was wrong in principle, and unjust to the entire mass of producers, whether labourers or capitalists. Such a system was beneficial only, to those who enjoyed such fixed incomes as were incapable of improvement, and whose selfish interests were promoted by the existence of those low prices which gave them a greater command over the labour of others. The sooner the discussion of this matter came on—and the more the terms of it were defined an&limited the better—the sooner would the public become acquainted with the relative merits of the principles of thcse who advocated an exclusively me tallic standard as the base of our currency, and of those who preferred the exchange of a responsible paper cur rency convertible into gold at the market value of the precious metal, the sooner would the proper remedies be applied to the evils of our present system ; a system which he did not hesitate to say inevitably occasioned incessant .-fluctuations in the commercial world, in juriously depreciated all the products of industry, and inflicted ruin and destitution on its unfortunate victims. Mr. ENDERBY stated that' the apparent abundance of the precious metals at this time in England, the United States of America, France, and other countries, was not owing to any increase in the produce of the mines, nei ther was he of opinion that any nation was impoverished or suffering from having parted with them, but that the apparent abundance (for he contended that gold and silver were only considered abundant when they were' collected in large quantities for sale) arose from the re served fund of the productive classes, from their savings set apart for periods of adversity, which period he stated had overtaken them, and they had.experienced extreme sufferings and" privations. He observed that it had been a common practice for the labouring classes of all nations to put aside (in coin) a portion of their hard earned wages, when they:could afford to do so; but stern necessity had for a long period reversed this order of things, and it was from this-sonrce the precious metals had been obtained. He instanced two eases of the sort as having recently been brought under his immediate con sideratiOn--the one a mechanic, the other a labourer ; both these men were seeking employment, the former had expended the last of eleven sovereigns, which he had been able to save while in work ; the latter had not only expended seven sovereigns which, under similar circum stances, he had collected, but was in debt, and had pawned some of his clothing. Mr. Enderby attributed the existing distress to the course the Bank of , England were compelled to pursue in 1837 for the purpose of re- ----- .ti o IIi t THEREAS, a PETITION . of ROBERT 1 HENSON, of No. 43, , Bedfortreet, Strand, in the Co anty - o f Middlesex, dealer in fancy ornaments, having be - in filed in the Court of Bankruptcy, and the interim order fog protection from process having been given to the said Robert 11. :neon, under the provisions of an Act of Parliament passed in th 3 Parliament holden in the fifth 'and sixth years of the reign of 10 r present Majesty, intituled "An Act for the Relief of Insolvent D ebtors," the said Robert Henson' is' hereby required to appear 111 Court, before ' Sir C.

Sup to that Hour. ZOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. laining the gold in their coffers ; he ariiitAkat periods `of prosperity are periods when the precious ri Nioals,,are being withdrawn from the Bank, and are becoming) the private property, of the labouring community, not merely of the population of England but of the world ; and be mentioned a recent case of a number of the natives of .of India having returned to their homes, from the Mau ritius, where they had been engaged to work for a certain period (which had expired), bringing with them small fortunes in dollars. He added that it was utterly impossible for the nation to enjoy any lengthened prosperity under the existing monetary system, for the measures of the Bank must, of necessity be opposed to the wants of the community. If, he observed, employ ment were found for all classes of labourers in England and Ireland, at remunerating wages, the amount in gold and silver that would be absolutely required to pay wages on Saturdays, throughout the kingdom, would be more than. the Bank could supply especially if the la bourers, as heretofore, saved coin; neither would the Bank suffer so much gold to be withdrawn, as to afford any reasonable expectation of extended amelioration to the community at large. Mr. Enderby conclUded by re marking, that under the existing monetary system it was impossible to "Emancipate Industry.' Mr. BODY observed, that he must notice an objection which had been started in consequence of a misappre hension of the principles of this Society—he meant the supposition that this Society advocated two prices for the same article, when in fact such was not the case. All that this Society contended for in the regulation of the commercial portion of, the currency, was that paper is • sued by private or joint-stock banks should be conver tible in gold at the market value, instead of at the fixed price of 31. t7s. lOid. per oz. The effect of doing this would certainly be apparently to make two prices, by protecting the home producer in securing to him the taxation value of his article in paper, but leaving it to be exported at its rate in gold, the common medium of exchange between the countries of the world. The ob jection of all who entertained this view fell to the ground before the knowledge of those who were acquainted with the duplicate quality of the circulation in many places abroad, and particularly with the sterling and currency ratios of the West India islands; and apart from all other reasons, this was a sufficient inducement to him to sup port this Society. Several other gentlemen concurred in the views here expressed, and the resolutions were unanimously adopted. came densely thronged, and a long time intervened be fore any person could be heard, A great many other persoperaost of whom were well known as Chartist orators, enffeavoured to speak, when the Chairman, amidst, the greatest uproar, decided that Mr. Mainte was entitled to be heard. • This gentleman, who was most conspicuous at the seve ral meetings on Clerkenwell-green, Islington-green, and other places, when the police had orders to disperse them, then rose to propose the next resolution, and after vitu perating the Anti-Corn-law Leugue and its objects in the bitterest terms, amidst stormy symptoms of disapproba tion and cries of "'Do you call yourself a Chartist ?" said the purport of the resolution was that a repeal of the corn-laws would be most injurious to all the industrious classes Of the United Kingdom. At this moment Mr. WHEELER, another Chartist, said —We have had quite enough of discussion to answer any beneficial object, and I therefore move that the Chair man do now leave the chair.— (Groans and confusion.) Mr. FORD, a gentleman of similar political views, se conded the proposition, but what he said could be only guessed by his pantomime. Another scene of confusion here ensued, which quite rivalled the 0. P. rows in the good old theatrical days, amidst which the Chairman, evidently with but little reluctance, made his exit. Mr. WHEELER then, amidst roars of laughter, pro posed a vote of thanks to the Chairman, of which not the slightest notice seemed to be taken by the meeting, some of whom had con g regated themselves into little groups, like what might be seen on a Sunday in Smith field or on Clerkenwell-green, for the purpose of hearing some more learned pundit expound his particular views of politics, as they amused themselves by cheering for Feargus O'Connor and the Charter ; but by far the greater number had gone away long before the last reso lution was put. Although in the programme four resolutions were an nounced to be put to the meeting, only three were pro posed. We should have stated at first, that we'could not notice one person on the platform whose name, if mentioned, would be familiar to our readers. The meeting broke up shortly after ten o'clock, in the same confusion that marked it during the evening. THE PRO-CORN-LAW LEAGUERS. Yesterday evening, at the Freemasons' Tavern, a was themselves t h t a h l e f - p " a s N t a s t i i , t o n o a , l e l 0 e A k n , t i a - L o e v a h g i u c h e meeting, in pursuance of a requisition, of some indivi dAusaslsoci c a all tio i n, hour Sir Richard Joddrell took the chair. • Perhaps by the insertion of an extract from their prospectus, we could more graphically lay before the public the policy, the logic, and the liberality of those who convened the meeting. Before doing so, however, we must remark, that although the " great" room was not filled, yet a more heterogenous and discordant meeting it has never been our lot to witness.. The following is the extract to which we have alluded " THE NATIONAL ANTI-LEAGUE ASSOCIATION. " The efforts now being made throughout the kingdom, in opposition to the League faction, are not only most laudable, but may be regarded as an indication of the injury, which is at all times to be apprehended from the machinations of weak and designing demagogues ; but however great and generous those exertions may be, they can effect but little real advan tage in the absence of a point of general concentration and succour in the metropolis. The interests of the several branches of national industry, now in operation, are so pro videntially interwoven, that any measure which injures the i one, must i n evitably paralyse the other. The repeal of the corn-laws embraces the whole system of free trade, and the interests of all classes are alike involved in the mischievous agitation of the Anti-Corn-Law League. It is true, that the agriculture of the country is the grand ebject of attack by the League, but their power and numbers are derived chiefly from the delusions which they have unscrupulously imposed on manufacturing classes of the community. • Their fallacies would not only destroy the agricultural, but the trading and industrial interests of the kingdom :--the•removal of protec tive duties would inflict certain misery on the agriculturist, the tradesman, and the operative. " The provincial Anti-League Societies consist, almost ex clusively, of the agricultural classes, and their exertions are confined to their respective localities ; while the manufactur ing and trading districts are effectively occupied by the League. it is, therefore, intended that .' The National Corn-law Association for the Protection of Agriculture' shall extend its sphere of operations, by concentrating the opposition of all classes so as to form a complete antagonist body to that dangerous conclave—The League." After a short address from the CHAIRMAN, Mr. SeERROD rose to move the first resolution. It was to the following effect,—That it was the opinion of the meeting that, at the present moment, great distress pervaded the working classes of the United Kingdom, and that the removal of any one of the protective duties on foreign produce would tend materially to increase that distress and involve the British empire in ruin. In sup port of the principles involved in the resolution he said no person could doubt the right of every man to hare the means of proper living, and that they had resources in their own bosoms quite sufficient to make them com fortable.--(Laughter.). He next said, in allusion. to Mr. Fielden, that it was the , intention and purpose of the manufacturers to sacrifice the interests and happiness of the community to their own cupidity; and, in proof, he said that Mr. Marshall, of Leeds, had worked a number of children to such a degree that they were taken to a tank of water, and their heads dipped in it, in order that they might be refreshed, and again go to work. Messrs. Deacon Hume, Bowling, and Villiers, wanted to bring the wages down to the same level as they were upon the Continent. He threw down the gauntlet to any one of the League, and hoped they would come forward and meet him in public discussion. —(Mingled cheers, laughter, and hisses.) He asked them all to come forward and show that the League should no longer go on in its successful career of robbing and Plundering the working classes.—(Langhter.) He called upon the aristocracy and the landed interest to come forward and protect labour from the attacks of the Corn-law League, or they would not long - gaze on the battlements of their ancestors.—(Laughter.) The speaker, amidst much laughter, made some indefinite allusion to Jugurtha, and concluded (in obedience to a hint from some person on the platform) by stating that he—(himself —not Jugur tha)—was a Spitalfield's weaver, and daring any person to come forward and controvert his assertion. At this moment a scene most indescribably ludicrous took place. An individual, habited in an ostler's dress, took up, the gauntlet, and after touching a lock of hair on the front of his forehead as a mark of respect to the Chairman, claimed, as well as we could understand from the noise and confusion which prevailed, to be. heard. He was, however, eventually compelled to retire, and make way for— A person, whose name was stated to be Mr. BUR HOWES, a delegate from the London Union •of the Spitalfields' weavers, and who seconded the resolution, after which An individual, who described himself as a jouiney man baker, rose to support it. In attempting to %do so he again threw down the gauntlet to the League. He was sure that the repeal of the corn-laws could injure four classes of persons—(Cries of " No, no")—and would tend to injure and destroy a most industrious, intelli gent, and truly beneiolent class of men, he meant the .journeymen-millers.—(Shouts of laughter.) He knew that the American corn came here in the shape of flour, in barrels. And (said the speaker), lam sure of this, for I have been in Yankee town.--(Renewed laughter.) He then entered into some details on his present pecu kniary emoluments, as compared with what they had,been When he was (to use his own phraseology) " a-doing s f et s many many more batches" during t he week. He 7 =passed from this subject to propose the second re `Zion, which was to the effect that the meeting de • ,1 anted the attempt of the Anti-Corn-law League to '*.cite the feelings of the agricultural classes, and Calling upon the agricultural classes to unite against that dan gerous conclave the League. Mr. MAILLARD, after abusing in set terms the League, its supporters, and the whole manufacturing interest, seconded this resolution. Mr. RUFFIE RIDLEY, a person well known .us a Chartist orator, particularly during the excitement)which pervaded London some time ago, when disturbance per • vaded , the provinces, here rose, when a scene 'of in describable confusion took place. His party, which was very numerous, rose en masse, cheering and waving hats, while those who favoured the objects of the meeting, and those in favour of the Anti-Corn-law League, who also mustered very strongly, were equally vcciforous. When order was somewhat restored; he was calling upon the people not to he led away by either of the two antago nistic parties—the Anti-Corn-lit* League, or those who were formed to oppose them; because both •parties were trying to sacrifice their "(the people'sY lives at the shrine of their own interests. He asked could not both parties be called base, bloody, and brutal ? (Hear, hear, and cheers.) They might be called Whig Chartists, or Tory Chartists, but they were there as men, and determined to denounce hypocrisy, and to tell. both parties, face to face, that the working classes woUld•stop short of nothing exc ept their political redemption. — (Cheers.) Suchbeing his opinion, he should move as an amendment upon the last resolution, That while this meeting is of opinion that the ' line of policy adopteliby the Anti-Corn-law League is erroneous and injurious without a complete renovation of the Legislative system, yet they are also of opinion that every sy stem of agita tion which has not for ' its end the attainment of the People's Charter 'is equally erroneous and injurious in policy, and unworthy to occupy the attention of this meeting or of the public generally. With respect to 'th'e Anti-Corn-law• League, and the new Association calling itself the Anti-League Association, he should advise the people to leave them to the fate 'of the Kilkenny cats, and they would tear each other to pieces in a very sh6rt time. Mr. M‘GRATS seconded the amendment, which ap peared to have a vast number of supporters in the room, although no official declaration was made from the ti Chair, as to whether it was passed or note Here anothei scene of indescribable confusion again aroseowing„to a number of persons claiming their r i g ht to tiddress the meeting - from the platform, which be- Entry.

An adaptation of Scribe's drama .Le Mariage de Raison, was produced at this theatre last evening, under the title of the Marriage 'of Reason. If we recollect aright, a version of this same piece nas produced at Covent-garden some years since, and met with the same sort of equivocal success which attended the Marriage of Reason last evening. The following is a sketch of the plot. Edward (Mr. loll), the son of General Bremont (Mr. Stuart), is in love with Suzette (Madame Celeste), a poor orphan, who has been brought up in the General's family. Edward offers her marriage, and the General interferes, and eventually persuades Suzette to marry Bertrand (Webster), an old moustache, who had followed him through all his cam paigns, and who is deeply in love with Suzette. This is the marriage of reason, and Edward, who has accidentally discovered that Bertrand had, two years before, saved -his life at Strasburg, voluntarily retires, enjoining Suzette to love Bertrand. Suzette, full of admiration for the noble character of Bertrand, trans fers her affection to him, and thus the Marriage of Reason bids fair to become a marriage of happiness. There are some excellent situations, and some striking incidents, in this drama; but the dialogue is exceedingly heavy, and the piece drags. By a free application of the pruning knife the piece would be much im proved, and will probably have a run. The acting was admirable. Stuart, as the General, made a great deal of a very up-hill part. There was a quiet intensity about his acting which told exceedingly. Webster, as Bertrand, was the beau ideal of a vicux moustache—that strange mixture of pathos and fun, which can only be found in the French soldier or the English sailor. The Suzette of Madame Celeste was a beautiful piece of melodramatic acting, and Buckstone as a henpecked husband, and Mrs. Humby as his better half, were both most laughter-moving. At the fall of the curtain there was a vigorous display of opposition, met by as vigorous a display of support—as to which had the majority it would be impossible to say, without a division; although, to quote the Speaker of the House of Commons on similar doubtful occasions, we " think the Ayes had it." COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. ' M. JULLIEN'S GRAND BAL MASQUE. M. Jullien's Grand Bal Masque took place at this theatre last evening, and it was one of the most brilliant affairs of the sort that we have ever witnessed. The orchestra was placed nearly at the back of the stage, while the pit was boarded over, so that the whole area Of the theatre formed one vast salon de dame. In addi tion to the large chandelier in the centre of 'the theatre, there were six magnificent cut glass chandeliers sus liended from• the proscenium, while four smaller ones, suspended from the ceiling by festoons of flowers, gave light to that part of the saloon answering to the pit, and a similar number suspended over the stage gave light to the orchestra. The fittings up of the theatre were exceedingly tasteful. Wreaths of flowers were suspended along the front of the boxes from pillar to pillar, and in front of each box panel was suspended a banner, emblazoned with armorial bearings. The doors were opened at nine o'clock, and the boxes and galleries were immediately crowded. No one was admitted to the saloon unless they were masked, and this rule was strictly adhered to throughout the evening. The dancing commenced at ten o'clock, long before which hour the saloon was crowded by persons attired in the costume of almost every nation under the sun. Turks and Greeks, Rus sians and Circassians, Affghans and Sepoys, joined most amicably in • the dance ; while quiet Quakers were seen joining in the revelry, and v taltzing with most demure looking gypsies. Antony and Cleopatra made a vis a vis to Macbeth and Haidte, and in the same set Jim Crow and Cordelia, with Hamlet and Columbine, joined the side couples. The arrangements of the Ball were admirable. There were six Masters of the Ceremonies, and in consequence of their indefatigable exertions the utmost order' and regularity prevailed. By eleven o'clock the theatre was crowded in every part, and the coup d'ceil from the boxes was superb; the scene altogether was one of the most brilliant we have ever beheld. At one o'clock the supper was served, which consisted of every delicacy of the season, with wine in abundance. The festivities were kept up until a very early, or rather very late hour in the morning. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S--YFsrEnDAY.

HOME ClRCUlT.—Hertford, March 2. CIVIL SIDE. :Before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN and a Special Jury.) ARDEN V. WEEDON. This cause was commenced on Friday, and did not conclude until a very late hour - on — Saturday night. It was an action brought by the plaintiff, nominally, to recover damages fin an alleged trespass upon his property, but the real object in view was to establish a right to prevent the public from pazi• inn over his property. Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Sergeant Channell, Mr. Ogle, and Mr. Peacock, were for the plaintiff; and Mr. Platt, Mr. Montagu Chambers, Mr. Willes, and Mr. R. A. Price, were for the de fendant. • The plaintiff, Colonel Arden, is the owner and occupier of Rickmersworth Park and the residence attaohed to it, and it has been in his possession for some years. It would appear that there is a path which was near his house that has been used for several years by the inhabitants of the neighbour hood, and_others, to go to some mills in the vicinity ; and it would seem that this created some annoyance to the plaintiff; and, acting under advice that the path in question had not been legally dedicated to the public, he resolved upon _los ing it, and-preventing persons from making use of it as here tofore. The inhabitants, however, feeling that they had a right to this path as a public way, resolved, at a vestry meeting, to assert that right; - and the' defendant. and some others broke down the hedge and other impediments that had been placed to prevent the use of the path, and upon that act the present action was .brought, to try the question of right. On the part of the plaintiff it was contended, of course, that there was no public footpath, and although it was ad mitted that persons had foi several years been in' the habit of making use of the path, it was only upon sufferance that they did so, and that there was no, legal right of way. On behalf of the defendant it was urged, that the path had been, by long usage, dedicated to the public, and that not withstanding whatever might have been the original cir cumstances under which the path was used, that by reason of the long period it had been made use of by the public, their right to pals over it could not now be disputed. To support this case, a great number of aged persons were called as witnesses, and they deposed to the fact of having made use of the path in question for a great number of years without any interrnption. • • • The jury, after the Learned Judge had addressed them, re turned a verdict for the defendant, thus establishing the right of the public to the use of the footpath in question. The commission for the county of Essex was opened to day at Chelmsford. As there was a winter gaol delivery in this county there are very few prisoners for trial, but the cause list is rather heavy. • POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOOSE. The following singular case was brought before the Lord Mayor, who very closely investigated all the extra ordinary circumstances detailed. Sir John Pirie sat, in conjunction with his Lordship. A young man of respectable appearance and address appeared in consequence of the issue of a summons, calling upon him to answer the complaint of a widow lady of the name of May. Mr. Boron briefly stated the heads of the complaint. He said he appeared as solicitor on behalf of Mrs. May, the widow of the late Captain James May, of the Diana, in support of a charge against the defendant, who was chief mate of that vessel. In _ the month of March, 1843, the Diana was homeward bound, and within sight of the island of Ascension, when suddenly, at a late period of the evening, the report of a pistol was heard on deck from the captain's cabin. The second mate im mediately proceeded thither to ascertain the cause of it, and on the way met the defendant coming from his cabin, which was next to that of the captain. They went together to the captain's cabin, and found Captain May lying dead, and a pistol by his head, the bullet from which had evidently • passed through his head. Next day, by order of the 'defendant, the body of Capt. May was buried in the sea, and the defendant then pro posed to the crew to take the Diana to St. Helena, although she was actually within sight and within twelve or fourteen hours' sail of the island of Ascension. The crew did not relish the proposition, but the defend ant gave a peremptory order to that effect, and the vessel was accordingly steered towards St. Helena, where, upon her arrival, he disposed of all Captain May's property. For that property, which was conside rable, the defendant had not accounted to the widow, whose shock, upon hearing of the awful catastrophe, was extreme, and left traces upon her mind and appearance which marked her as an objeet of great commisseration. About a fortnight after the ship had reached St. Helena a further calamity occurred. An explosion took place in the after-part of the ship,. and the captain's cabin, and the greater portion of the after - part of the vessel was destroyed. That explosion also destroyed the life of the unfortunate steward, who was at the time in the part which was blown up. The defendant had just previously gone ashore. Here was a case which, in the opinion of Mr. Bozon ' was one of no light or fantastic suspicion. He considered that the defendant ought to have proceeded on the home bound voyage instead of going back to St. Helena ; and the intention in taking the vessel 'to that place could not have been other than fraudulent, particularly as she was within being so short a distance of the island of Ascension, to which it was the duty of the defendant to convey the remains of the captain. He therefore charged the defendant, that by taking the ship to St. Helena, in sight of the island, of Ascension, where he ought to have deposited the body of his captain, he feloniously' took possession of Captain May's property, and by disposing of that property at St. Helena, and afterwards producing to the widow false accounts, he commmitted a larceny on the high seas. John Christy said—l was a seaman on board the Diana, ' Captain May, in March last. We were making our passage for England, off Ascension Island, when, 'one evening about half-past nine o'clock, the second mate heard a noise in the cabin like the report of a pistol. He asked the men who had the look out what it was ? And he then went down, and he said he met the defendant outside his own cabin, and he and the defend ant went into the captain's cabin, and observed smoke there, and saw the captain lying, shot through the head. I, went down, and saw him lying, with a wound through his temples. I saw the pistol there; I afterwards looked through the sky-light and saw the defendant lying by the side of the body. The second mate begged the defen dant not to lie alongside of the body. Next day, about 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning, we were all called down into the cabin by the defendant, who said he should not take charge of the ship in the state in which she then was, and that we had better go back to St. Helena, and he pointed out the track he should go. I saw Ascension Island from the mast-head the same evening the captain was shot,. He told the crew they had better go back, and the agents there would settle everything. Two days afterwards, two of the boat steerers and the cooper, and the cooper's mate, said they had better go to Ascension, and the , defendant said he did not care about going to St. Helena. The evening. I was at the wheel, the defendant - asked me ,what I looked so pleasant for? I 'said it was because I was in hopes of getting back to my home. He held out a promise if we got a whale he would give us a sovereign each; or, at least, on his own responsibility, a half-sovereign, and then we went back to St. Helena. The captain was buried the day after. The conversation about going back to St. Helena took place before the captain was buried. During the voyage there were violent quarrels between the 'captain and the defendant. On one occasion the defendant said he would fight the captain a duel, either gentleman fashion or blackguard fashion. I can't say what watch the captain had when: at St. Helena. 'After we an chored the steward was stopping a leak, and the day before we ought to have started an explosion took place, and I and others were blown up and much injured. The defendant was not on board at the time. There was a survey op board after the accident. The defendant told me an evening or two after the captain's death the reason why he wanted to go to St. Helena was because the widow's property would fetch more there than in England. Abijah Lott, of No. 29, Princes-street, Rotherhithe, said, I was in St. Helena in May last. I saw the de fendant there. I saw the Diana before the explosion. She might have gone home; but she was rather open at her open ends forward. I went on board her before and after the explosion. I purchased articles from Carroll, the agent there. After the explosion I was on the survey of the vessel, and found her blown up from the taffrail to the mainmast. Not a beam was there that was not broke, and the decks shook fore and aft. The coverings of her hatchways were started. The cause was from the magazine. The powder was in copper. Caroline Matilda May said, I have applied to the defendant respecting my husband's effects. This (pro ducing a paper) is one of the accounts he gave me. When my husband went to sea he had a gold watch, chain, and key. I spoke to the defendant about that watch. He gave me a brass chain, and said that was the chain my husband wore. In one letter I had received from my husband, he said he had done very well in trading. The defendant said that he had acted all through the affair to the best of his skill and judgment, and upon the opinion of the oldest and most experienced officers at St. Helena. An inquest had been held upon the body of the captain at St. Helena, and verdict was at once re turned, after the examination of the crew, to the effect, that the unfortunate man died by his own hand. He repelled with indignation and scorn the insinuations which had been made, and solemnly declared that in every proceeding he had adopted he was influenced by the most honourable feelings. The LORD MAYOR and Sir JOHN Piling said, that in the present condition of the evidence there were cer tainly matters which were calculated to excite much suspicion. They, therefore, declared that the defendant Must find bail to appear on another day, himself in the slim of 200/, and two sureties in 100/. each. Two highly respectable men afterwards came forward and bailed the defendant, whom they described as a per ectly honourable man, against whom no imputation had - I Lds, fver been cast. . A CHILD THROWN OVERBOARD AND DROWNED. yesterday afternoon, as two boys were grappling for wood and rope in the Humber Dock, near Mytongate-bridge, they brought up a full-grown child wrapped in a napkin and some newspapers, and having a brick tied tight round it for the purpose of sinking it. Whether the child was alive or dead when thus inhumanly thrown overboard is at present un known.. An inquest will be held' upon the body. —Hull Advertiser.
