Throw toing *a he higtelthid eallit the plaintiff, and th a t th e account w hi c h had original AP' peared in thei r p aper was true, they were morally, though perhaps notlegally, justified in inserting the report of the meeting at Gloucester. 'The Learned Sergeant concluded a long speech by calling upon the jury not to make the de fendants pay what it would neither be honourable nor credit able for Air. Bellers to receive. Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up, the jury retired, and after an hour's absence returned into Court, giving their ver dict for the plaintiff, with Mi. damages. This was the last cause that re ma i ne d to be tried, and upon its termination Mr. Baron Parke proceeded to try prisoners.. Both of the Learned Judges will be occupied till a late hour, and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd .15 gone forward to Monmouth with the intention of opening the Commission there, if one of Rtiges should hot arrive to do so in person by t en o ' c l ec k . .• THE, FACTORIES BILL. (From the Leeds Times.) We shall not stop at present to inquire into theft°. tires of the majority - of thalembers of the House of Com mons, and whether they.w6trlds. ki:Ke been equally ready to concede a measure cejnitice'' h a d the clients been their own , wietc4edly oppressedandover-laboured serfs, and had the question concerned their Own " vested rights," and rents; andniortgages, and class interests. It.is enough that a great act of moral justice has been donean • act: of unquestionable 'humanity—of real practical philanthr6py and benevolence.. We therefore hail the success of Lord Ashley's motion with feelings of almost unmingled joy and satisfaction, - The case of Lord Ashley and his supporters is based upon irrefragable evidence. Long-continued labour is deleterious to the human constitution in anyvase, but especially where the tender frames of women and chil dren are concerned ; and the tendency of the factory system, of late years, has unquestionably been, to absorb a larger. proportion of female and infant labour, to the great detriment and injury of the entire working popu lation. They have taken the Plice of men in almost all departments in some factorieg4especially in Lancashire; the consequence of which "..has' been that women and children are employed, .while men are thrown idle. Nature's arrangements are thus entirely reversed, and the father, instead of being the supporter and the guar dian, becomes the dependent and the domestic drudge of his wife and children ! And what is the consequence as regards the women and children themselves ? The most fearful degradation —often the most appalling vice ! The sacred character of woman has been terribly lowered. Withdrawn from. their domestic functions, their homes have been necessa rily neglected; 'the social and family ties have been broken up ; children have grown up uneducated and entirely - neglected ; the domestic affections, by which society is held together, have been crushed and de stroyed ; and woman, instead of being the domestic helpmate of man, the mistress of his household, the ma nager of his home, the mother of his family,—has be • come his fellow day-drudge, the rival competitor with him for labour, and often also the participator, if not the rivarivitiniiin, in his bad and vicious practices. Who can doubt the magnitude of these evils ? Who can overlook them, or refuse to alleviate or remove them ? Now, Lord Ashley's motion does not propose to take women and children out of the factories, as the same Legislature has already taken them from th e coa l. mines. It merely lays down what is considered to be a proper day's work for the women and children employed in factories. The Legislature has already established the principle of interference in such matters, and it now merely carries the principle forwards in the salutary di rection. If anything, Lord Ashley's motion is too ex. acting: looking upon this solely as a question of lin inanity,- we consider ten hours' daily labour in factories far too much for either women or children. Lord Ashley's proposition is, therefore, in our opinion, an ex. ceedingly reasonable one; and,' if the Legislature is to interfere at all, it cannot do less than affirm the Noble Lord's motion. But do not let us shut our eyes to the immense con• sequences involved in the passing of this clause of Lord Ashley's by the Legislature. A ten hours' labour bill for women and children will also prove a Ten Hours' Bill for men ; because, when the women and children quit work in mills, they constitute such a large preponder ance of the factory operatives that the men must quit also. Well, then, a Ten Hours' Bill will be the neces sary consequence of the final adoption of Lord Ashley's clause. And the next result will be a general reduction of'wages in proportion to the limitation imposed upon the duration of factory labour. The reduction may be to even a greater extent than this, if means be not adopted by the Legislature to open up new channels of trade and commerce. But certainly a reduction to the extent we have mentioned—in other words, by about one-sixth of the present weekly wages of the factory operatives will take place immediately on the enactment of a Ten Hours' Bill by the Legislature. We state this to prevent subsequent disappointment on the part of the operative classes. As for the mas ters, they are mostly in favour of a Ten Hours' Bill, and a large proportion of them, during the last few years, have been working their mills considerably under the time prescribed by Lord Ashley's motion. Of course, they have done this from necessity, and not from choice ; and most of the operatives have been obliged to be satisfied with a " short time" wage. And they know that it was no more than reasonable that they should be paid in proportion to the duration of their labour, as is the case in all other employments. On the same grounds, Lord A shley's motion, whieh en forces permanent short time of working, will enforce also a permanently reduced wage, unless large remedial measures are adopted to prevent it. And without such measures, the limitation of the hours of factory labour may yet possibly be regarded as even a measure of merciless injustice. . _ , No. 17,003.

The regulations cernmen to all ether Life Companies, which make the validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correet mess of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life Policy, and which have given rise to almost all the questions which have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra-judicial com promises, are thus entirely abrogated ; and nothing bat fraud, proved to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by this Cempany. THIS IS TPIR ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the stuns assured, THIS IS THII ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the slims in the policies, although the debts for which they were effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. The Company considering it only just towards the assured that where premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount should be paid ; and they undertake to do so without referenee to the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor. THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant M favour of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured, although the debter should go beyond the limits of Europe. The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are lower than usual upon young lives, where participation In the preits is not required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the assured, may be continued for life, the rates are as low as a due re gard to complete security will permit.

The Half-premium plan of Assurance; as practised by this Company, thus enables persons to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years, at 5/. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose tke or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay ment by tke half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one half of the 101., and interest for the retained half; and, if death should occur In the first year, the sum of 5001. would be paid less the 51. retained. The assured may this have the - use for tho first year of Si.; for the second, of 101. ; and so on till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 351. would be subtracted from the 5001. then payable by the Company.

Credit given for half the amount of the first five Annual Premiums, by which means Assurances may be effected with the least possible present outlay, and after payment of the arrears, the Policy-holder will become entitled to participate in the entire profit of this Institu tion, precisely in the same manner as if he had paid thewhole amount of his premiums in advance, in the usual way. Thus, for example —a person in the twenty-fifth year of his age, instead of paying 21. Gs. per annum for an Assurance of 1001., would be required to pay 1/. 3s. only during the first five years, when, on payment of the arrears of Premium, amounting to 51. 155., his share of the Profits would be such as to reduce his future Annual Pre miums to very little more than the half Premium of IL 3s. originally paid by him. The Great Britain is the only Mutual Assurance society in which this very great accommodation is given to the As sured. Credit allowed for the whole of the first five Annual Premiums, on satisfactory security being given for the payment of the same at the expiration of five years. _ . :An the profits of the Institution divided annually among the Policy holders who shall have paid five Annual Premiums.

At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the life policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5 per cent. to the shares, in addition to the payment of the annual interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years, thus enabling a perscin to assure his life for £l,OOll on the im mesliate payment of the premium for •£5OO only. The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of !00 for the whole life, one-half cf which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at 5 per cent ; and should the policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then be deducted. _ _ _ Age 20 without profits £1 13 30 40 50-- - 4 3 0 with profits £l 18 0 2 5 8 3 44 9 6 , For short periods the premiums are considerably lower, and for any ages or contingencies not usually advertised, information may be obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.

REPORT of the BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New-road, London, for 1843. In the year 159.8 the above Establishment was founded by James Morison, the Hygeist, who, together with a great number of indivi duals, became members thereof, in order the more effectually to carry out those principles in medicine known as the " Hygeian Sys tem," which have from interested motives been so violently opposed by the Faculty, but which they (the Hygeists), notwithstanding, coil scientiously believe to be founded in truth. Time, the test of all theories, has most certainly proved the truth of that system. The Hygeian agents in different parts of the world, who are highly re. spectable persons, have all concurred in their reports as to the cure of disease by Morison's Medicines, when many of the parties had been given over as incurable under the ordinary medical treatment ; these facts are on record throughout the different parts of the globe, and, therefore, Hygeists are justified in denouncing the present sys tem of doctors (the organic pathology) as being altogether founded in error, which, we submit, is emply proved by the fact of doctors being at this day quite at variance with one another, both as regards the theory of disease and its practice—hence have we the Water Cure, Homoeopathy, Mesmerism, Sec. The fact of medical men being gene rally persons of education is not of itself at all conclusive of their being the most competent to cure disease, if it can be proved, as we say it can, that, from interested motives, the medical schools have diverged from the path of simple nature, and for profit have made the science of medicine one of confusion, not to be understood by even the wisest man that ever lived; in proof of which assertion we refer the public to the medical works of the day, which contain the most Migrant contradictions and absurdities. Mr. Morison, on the other hand, proceeding upon a' simple, but true: and [natural theory— namely, that all diseases, however they may show themselves, have their origin in an impure state of the blood and fluids, so that there is, in tact, but one disease—administers at once the Vegetable Uni. versal Medicine ; and he, and those connected with his system, have invariably found,* that when the disease was curable it has been cured by that simple process, whilst, if the same disease had been submittei to learned doctors ; they would have tried, perhaps, innu merable prescriptions, all dignified with Latin names, and, after all, have left the patient where they found him, if not worse. We say these are facts of tvery day occurrence, and that those who will in quire into this important question will find them such. We are aware that the practice of a system like the Morisonian would not sufficiently remunerate doctors, since:every person might thus become his own physician. The public will, therefore, not be much surprised that the Faculty should have adopted a system founded on organic prin. ciples, as if the body were a piece of patchwork, which consequently obliges all persons (except Hygeists) to have recourse to them in cases of disease; hence we see, in almost every street, eye and ear infirmaries, and other establishments for treating different parts of the body. In conclusion, we have to lay before the public an extract from the last Report of the Exeter Hygeian Dispensary, together with Lady Grey's last letter. and the amount paid by us for stamps to the Bri tish Government, lee., all of which we submit is corroborative of the foregoing allegation, namely, that the present system of doctors i n treating diseases on organic principles is altogether erroneocs. (Signed) MORISON, MOAT, and CO., Hygeists. • At the Exeter Hygeian Dispensary upwards of 4,000 poor per. sons have been restored to health by the Hygeian medicines, many of whom had been declared incurable in the Exeter hospitals under doctors' treatment. The Dispensary, situate at 91, Fore-street-hill, Exeter, has now been in full operation during the last eight years, and is under the direction of Richard Tothill, Esq., to whom the public is referred as regards the proceedings at that Institution. Case of Cure reported by Lady Sophia rey. Sandiwav, December 7, 1843. Gentlemen,—By the wish of cur labourer, d. Greaves, I write to say that he wishes it to be known how greatly he has benefited by taking your most excellent medicines. When we came to this place he was a poor sickly young man, so often ties up with violent attacks of asthma, that the farmers would not employ him, and Mr. Booth Grey gave him little jobs when able to do anything. I instantly per. suaded him to take your Pills in small doses, alternately No. 1 and No. 2. He his done so, never exceeding seven pills at a dose, and is now a very he filthy man, and able to wo , k like any other labourer, and not affected by every change in the weather. I have known se veral that have received great benefit from your Pills in this most dis tressing complaint. I have several bad cases in hand, anti no words can describe theblessing this medicine is to the poor. I have seve ral patients I have never seen, but send the advice by letter ; but am not deceived, as I have friends who watch their progress. As for my self I should have been dead years ago if it had not been for your Pills and the mercy of my Heavenly Father. I remain, Gentlemen, yours sincerely P obliged, SOHI A GREY. To Messrs. Morison, Moat, sod Co., British College of Health, London. Extract of the Report of the Exeter 11% geian Dispensary for No— vember, 1643: Mr. Robert Potter. aged 62, is a yeoman, residing at Countess Wear, near Exeter. In the month of May last he was violently seized with inflammation in the neck of the bladder, so that he had not the power to pass his waters consequently Mr Perkins, surgeon, of Exeter, was sent for to pass the catheter and draw it off. Mr. Potter was otherwise extremely ill from rheumatic gout, so - much EO, that Dr. Elliott, of Mount Radford, Exeter, was in attendance with Mr. Perkins, and it was considered that he was in imminent danger. All means were had recourse to, according to the present mode of practice, to restore their patient, which was in some mea sure effected, as, after many weeks, the patient left his bed; but as for the bladder, it had lost entirely its contractile power, so much so, that for thirteen weeks lie never could make water in the natural way, and the catheter was obliged to be introduced four or five times every day, and always during the night it was kept passed into the bladder. Mr. Potter continued to suffer in this distressing manner until the sth of August, about which period he was recommended to me to see if Morison's Pills would have any good effect upon him, and my opinion being favourable as to the ultimate results of that medicine upon him, he immediately began with three pills at night and two in the morning, and at the end of the third day, astonishing to say, he was able to make water in the natural way. lie continued every day to progress favourably, and I think he has taken the medicines in varied doses for about three months, under my directions, with the happiest results, inasmuch that he has now no occasion to pass the instrument, the bladder haying quite regained its natural power • and Mr. Potter's health is so regcrigratO in every respect, that he has now become as active and healthy a person as can be seen. Mr. Potter has requested me to publish his case, as he never can be too thankful for the grezt blessing he has received, and will be most willing to answer any inquiries to any one respecting his distressing ifinsss, and also as to the very extronlinary effect of the medicines upon him, by their applying to him at. Countess Wear, near Exeter. (Signed) RICHARD TOTIIILL, Surgeon, &c., M.R.C.S., L. Heavitree, Exeter, Nov. 1843. The Quackeries of Doctors by the help of their Organic system of Treating Diseases. 1. A nice thing this organic pathology of doctors, which enables thCm t, a dminister innumerable drugs, and what is best ci all for them, it can never be proved that they have given that which is im proper. Dr- A. gives this, Dr. B. that, Dr. C. the other thing, and so forth. Dr. A. bleeds, Dr. B. doesn't, and Dr. C. both bleeds and doesn't. Mr. D. complains of a pain in the side, upon which Dr. A. sends forth a messenger, in the shape of morphine, or some ether ins, to fetch it out from that particular loc.ilay. Mr. D. complains of a pain in his liver, Dr. A. sends another messenger in the shape, perhaps, of calomel, to fetch that out. Mr. a iomplains of a pain is his head, Dr. A. sends a third messenger of some sort or other, dignified also with a Latin name, to fetch that out. Thus, according to doctors, there is a specific for every part of the body. This sounds very well, but unfortunately they a'l differ among them.. selves, on accs , unt of symptoms, as to when and how their remedies should be given. We call this a system of quackery, which may be verified by any person referring to the medical works of the day. It is a most fearful quackery, because it tends completely to enslave the public mind, prevents inquiry, and takes away all respansibllity from doctors ; they always have a loophole to creep out at under their organic pa' hology. If a poor patient dies, of course the disease killed him, it couldn't have been the d ctors''drugs ; the confiding friends believe him, and there is no further inquiry. 2. Kee ing fine houses and carriages, in order to lead persons to believe that, therefore, they can cure diseases be' ter than their brethren with diplomas, but without carriages or fine houses. This. of course, would have no weight with the iaiblic if they knew the nature of their own bodies. but being grossly ignorant of it, they are led by outward show. We believe that it is well known that a doctor stands no chance unless he keeps his carriage of some sort or other. 3. Writing their prescriptions in Latin. This is done, we pre sume, to prevent the patient knowing the useless or injurious things which he is taking; at all events, to give importance and mystery to the thing. 4. Writing a book upon some particular disease (thanks to their organic pathology), and then getting a friend, the editor of some newspaper or review. to puff it into notoriety. Having considered the quackeries of doctors, we turn to the Hy geian system. Let us see whether there be quackery in that. How stands the case? Why simply thus—Mr. Morison, the Hygeist, al leges that all diseases proceed from one cause, viz., impurities in the blood; he also alleges that the Vegetable Universal Medicine, by removing these impurities, must necessarily produce health. Is he borne out by facts in that assertion ? Let the thousands of cured patients answer. Moreover, it has been offered during the last eight years to prove the important fact of the universality of the medicine, by a strict examination of the csses of poor people who present themselves daily at the Exeter Hygeian Dispensary, most of whcm are discarded as incurable patients from the Exeter hos pitals. We cannot see how the word quackery can apply to the Hygeian system; it'll not ,pretended that the medicine cures by magic, or as if theee were acharm in it, but it is, on the contrary, its cleansing properties over the blood which are relied upcn. The cause of all diseases is asserted, and the medicine being unchange able, it therefore follows that every person, understanding that system, can judge whether he will put himself under the Hygeian treatment or net. There is no loophole for Hygeists as with doctors; if the pills fail, then Hygeists say that, in their opinion, nothing else will cure. As to doctors being generally persons of education, It is no proot whatever of their ability to cure the sick, because from motives of gaix (hence their opposition to Hygeism) the medical schools have departed from simple nature, and in order to make medicine a lu. cratire employment, they have invented this cursed organic patho. logy before described, which is new so mystified, that some of its professors have gone mad, andothers confess that they know nothing about it. Some of them have turned mesmerizers, homseopathists, water doctors, mad doctors, &c. With these observations we leave the public to say which are really the quacks. Lastly,, be it remembered, that Hygeiaism owes its rise and pro. gross entirely to public support, and, unlike the doctors, does not re quire the prop of arbitrary Acts of Parliament, the indirect puffs of newspapers, or the subscriptions of the rich. Lieut. Mackinnon's Report. The last packet from America brought the following report from Lieutenant John Mackinnon, 104th Foot. Hygeian general agent for Cape Breton and other islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence:— To Messrs. Morrison and Moat. British College of Health, London. Dear Sirs,—On the 6th of October, 1842, I had the pleasure of transmitting to the British College of Health a brief report on Hygeian affairs in this quarter of the globe, and which, I am happy to discover, has been largely circulated, and some hundreds of copies sent to this island to stare in the face both friends and foes. Since the report alluded to, the Universal Medicines of the Col lege have nothing diminished in the estimation of old as well as new patients, for not a cloud has arisen to obscure, even for a moment, their shining lustre, and many cases of cure have been performed, (by the blessing of God on the means) of truly a most astonishing nature. A few only I deem it necessary to forward.—'it. Archibald M'Donald, aged 47, farmer, pronounced incurable by several doc tors. He bad been informed by the wiseacres, that by the aid of their sounding rods they had disco erect that his heart had grown too large for its casement, and that he might prepare himself for an eternal world. He applied to me as his dernier resource before leaving this world, and was greatly surprised at my falling into a violent fit of laughter at his tale of woe. " Archy, my man," said I, " Do only what I bid you, and I will cut down that tremendous heart of yours in a few weeks; fir those fellows you have been consulting are only . blind leaders of the blind." The pills and powders were administered in grand style, twenty at a dose twice a day; this was in April. and the July following he paid for his medicines by mowing the grass in my field;, and then found that his heart was freed from its shackles. He has remained in good health ever since. For the remainder of Lieut. Mackinnon's report," see the 29th number of the Hygeist, published on the let of December last. The last Overland Mail from India brought intelligence of the chol ra raging in the interior. and of its successful treatment in all cases where Morison's Medicines were had recourse to. The following is an extract from a letter just received by Messrs. Morison and Moat, of the British College of Health, Hamilton place, New-road, London, from Robert L. Pereira, Esq., then ge neral agent for Madras, dated October 21, 1843 : I regret to inform you that the cholera is making great ravages in the inte:ior, and in a part of the black town called Parcherry. In Madras. during the , last nine or ten days, many have fallen victims; those who have taken your invaluable medicines have been cured, and others have been saved from an attack by a timely application to same means. Another extraordinary case of cure from Mr. Pereira, of Madras. Copy:—To Mr. R. L. Pereira. beg to inform you that one of my relations, a boy 12 years of age, having been bitten one night, at about half.past eight o'clock, by a venomous snake, called by the natives Cataverien, or Carpet Snake, about twelve o'clock his whole body became swollen to an, enormous size, and he commenced vomiting blood and rice, accom panied with an oppression in the chest, and in the last stage. I hare, in the absence of other medicines, given him a dose of twelve of Morison's No. from the last purchase I made from you, and the boy, half an hour after he had taken the pills, threw up bile and had a few motions, whereby he felt instant relief, which gave him good rest till the next morning, and when he awoke be still felt heavy symptoms, upon which a medical practitioner, a relative of the patient, prepared a draught, and desired the boy to take it; he peremptorily refused, and said he would take no other medicine but the pills he had taken before, because he benefited thereby ; accordingly, another dose of nine pills was given him ; about half an hour after he vomited some !green stuff and had three green motions, and entirely recovered. I beg also to bring to your notice that, notwithstanding the most extra. ordinary cure I ha-e experienced with this invaluable medicine in the bite of a venomous snake, as above stated, I have had the hap piness of curing varicas complaints of both a chronic and acute hould to this very d a y su ff er w ith th e ' severe p a i n nature., and more particularly of myself. I must say that were it n-t for these pills I in the pit of my stomach which used to come on me very fre. qucntly for several years before I used' them ; in fact, many in my neighbourhood who knew me to have * suffered with the pain, and that I had cured myself of it with these pills, flock to me for aid whenever they . are taken ill, and I am obliged to give it to them, gratis in some instances. Hoping that, as these pills are now be t oming better known avong the native population, and will be in greater demand daily, you will always have a good stock on hand for the begefit of mankind in this part of the universe, I beg to subscribe myself, Sir, Your very obedient servant, V.

Some degree of interest has been felt in the City to day, to learn the result of the entries in the Bank books for the carrying out of the plan, or otherwise, of the re duction of the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. We are en abled to state with the utmost confidence that the dis sents are few, and for insignificant amounts; and that the assents, as respects the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. of 1818, comprise the larger proportion of the holders of the stock just named, both, of course, having reference to those national creditors who are resident in the United Kingdom. As , officially the positive amount of dissents cannot be communicated except to the Trea sury, still there are one or two statements in circula tion upon this really interesting and national subject. If the information received from one party be correct, but ten or eleven holders.have dissented, who have stock in their names to a sum not equal to 40,0001. The assents, as respects the Three-and-a-Half per Cents., have been given in very freely today, and there will not be the least diffieulty in providing for those who have neglected to protect their own interests; for by the negligence they will receive in,October next but 1001. per cent., whereas the New Threeand-a-Quarter may be quoted as worth at least 21 per cent. more. But a month, or nearly, still must elapse - for holders out of Europe, to dissent or assent (as to the stock of 1818); yet, how ever, the Chancellor, is held to have eminently suc ceeded. The next, and we believe the most accurate assertioa is, that out of holders of the Three-and-a- Half per Cents. of 1818 (the stock being calculated at about 10,000,0000, full 7,000,0001 of acceptors of the terms have inscribed their names. Then, as to the dis sents to the other Three-and-a-Half per Cents., they do not exceed 150,0001. Observer. A few days ago, a man engaged in digging a well, at Mont-le-Francois (Haute-Saone), bought about 401bs. of gunpowder, in order to blow up a stratum of rock at which he had arrived. On entering his dwelling, he let fall the bag of powder, which burst, and the whole of the contents was scattered on the floor. .1t was night, but the wife, to avoid the risk of leaving the powder where it was till the morning, determined to sweep it up. While thus engaged, the finer particles, raised in dust by her broom, caught fire, and caused the whole to explode ; and the result was terrible. The house was scattered in portions in every direction, and the man and his wife were' both driven, with the door, to a distance of 15 yards. Their state is dreadful. Some hopes of saving the man are entertained, but none of the woman.-- Galignani. The Commissioners of the Model Prison at Penton vile had a meeting on Saturday, at the Council-office.

CHALK AND ANOTHER. This was an action for iiTel,ironghthYlirr:l3ellers, a gen tleman residing at Barnard's-green, in the parish of Great Malvern, in the county of Worcester, against Messrs. Chalk and Holt, the proprietors of the Worcester Herald. The de fendants pleaded only the' eneral issue, " Not guilty." Mr. Whateley, Mr. Godson, and Mr. Gray conducted the plaintiff's case ; and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. F. V. Lee appeared for the defendants. The libels of which theitlaintiff complained were contained in certain paragraphs, which, about the end of last year, ap peared in the Worcester Herald, a journal enjoying an exten sive circulation not'only in the county of Worcester, but in the adjoining counties of Hereford and Gloucester; and the charge which they conveyed was so startling in itself, and of so unusual a kind, that the paragraphs immediately found their way into the London journals, and thence were copied by nearly all the provincial papers in the kingdom. On the 2d of December, 1843, the following appeared in the Wor cester Herald, headed " Extraordinary Conduct to Horses" : " We have much hesitated before making public the fol lowing statement, really doubting whether our readers, from the almost incredible and revolting facts it discloses, would not conclude we were romancing, and saying the thing that is not. However, we can only prefaCe such statement by observing, that in giving it we put forth the truth as related to us, and from the quarter from which we have derived it, as we have reason to believe, the whole truth and nothing but the truth: For reasons unnecessary to enter upon, we do not at present disclose the name of the party implicated in our recital, but we shall wait to see whether, when he shall thus discover that his cruel and insensate conduct is known, it has the effect of rousing in him a sense of its in famy and shame, and thereby induce him at once to alter it; and if this should prove to be otherwise, we warn hint that his 'name shall, be made public, and in a way, too, that, without the possibility of mistake, shall bring down upon him that full measure of reprobation and scorn he so justly merits. And now to our narrative without further remark. It was some five and a quarter years since that the indivi dual to whom we allude was riding a spirited young mare by whom he was thrown; he escaped unhurt by the fall, but, incensed by the circumstance, he immediately ex claimed to the poor animal, D—n you, madam, I'll make you suffer for this ; I'll put you in solitary confinement for seven years.' These were the words actually used by him, as reported by a party who was in his company at the time, and his threat he has literally carried into execution to the extent of five years and a quarter, and for the greater por tion of that period in a manner, too, distinguished by the most refined brutality. A three-stalled stable was selected for tie solitary cell of the hapless creature, the two other , stalls were occupied by horses, but the back of that allotted to her was enclosed by board ing so placed that she could not turn round at all, nor lie down but by the most painful effort and the excoriation of her sides in the most horrid manner. This treatment she suffered for more than three years, until at length she effected some mitigation of her misery by kicking down the boarding at the back of her stall. It would seem that after this the abuser of -the poor creature did so far relent in his feelings of vengeance towards her as not to re commit her to her Procrustean bed, but no further; finding she had liberated herself from this, he perseveres in his sen tence -of " solitary confinement," and removes the other two horses from the stable, thus giving her the entire range of the building, in which to complete the remaining portion of her doom. But we have not yet related, the full iniquity of this most wicked proceeding. The sole food of the wretched animal through winter and summer, front the commencement of her incarceration to the present time, has been a scanty portion of grass cut by her persecutor himself from a neigh bouring pasture, added to about halfa bolting of straw for her bed ; the latter, however, we are told the poor animal first eagerly devours in preference to the cold and raw grass, so that not a shred of it is visible in the morning; and we are further told also that about a twelvemonth since a lad, in the employ of this inhuman man, commiserating the situation of the mare, contrived one evening to make a trilling addition to her miserable modicum of food, and for which he was visited with instant dismissal. We have this relation from those who have by stealth recently seen the doomed crea ture in her captivity, and they describe her appearance as most deplorable, and akin to that of the caged beasts in a menagerie, keeping constantly pacing round her narrow prison-house like a demented creature, and bearing a numb expression of suffering capable of melting every heart but that of her cruel tormentor. We are further informed that a pony has been punished by this person, for some unknown reason, by the same species of infernal cruelty for the last two years." Upoa the appearance of this paragraph, although public curiosity was much excited on the subject, no one but those who were in the secret could know that the plaintiff was the person who was aimed at, no name or locality, which would afford a clue to the individual, having been mentioned ; but the National Animals' Friend Society having sent down one of their officers, Mr. Yewens, to investigate the matter, Mr_ Yewens called, on the 13th of December, upon Mr. Chalk, one of the defendants, and requested him to say where the party in question lived, in order that he might sift the cir cumstances of the case. By Mr. Chalk the officer was re ferred to Colonel Bund, a magistrate of the county ; but as Mr. Yewens did not find that gentleman at home, he pro ceeded to the residence of the plaintiff, where he asked to see and was shown the mare alleged to have been treated with so much barbarity. The plaintiff, who is of retired habits, and 65 years of age, called to his servants to fetch the mare out, put a bridle on her, and ride her ; and upon his return to Worces ter, Mr. Yewens stated to Mr. Chalk that the mare had not been ill-treated, as reported; that she was in good working condition; that the account of the place in which she was confined was not correct, as it was 'six feet wide, and 14 feet long; and that when he saw her, there was straw under her, and a whole heap of stable litter in the yard. Trusting, however, it would seem, more to the accuracy of their original informant than to the testimony of an eye-witness like Mr. Yewens, the defendants on the 16th of December published the following article in their journal THE CRUELTY TO HORSES CASE.—The public will be pleased to 'learn that the poor animals, viz., the mare and pony, the subjects of the shocking cruelty denounced in former Heralds, have been restored to freedom, or rather to the usual condition of their species. Mr. Yewens, the officer , of the National Animals' Friend Society, has been engaged in investigating the matter, and we believe that it has been found that no prosecution can now take place, from the cir cumstance of the Act of Parliament requiring all informations to be laid within 14 days from the date of alleged offences. We have been informed that an individual who assumes that he himself is the party against whose cruelty our remarks on this subject were written, threatens to bring an action against us for injury alleged to have been done to his character.-- : we suppose the exposure in our columns. We pretend not to say how the chances might go as to a verdict in such an action, but it is due to ourselves to state, that we publish the case on the authority of no mere vague rumour, but front un questionable information ; and that our only object was the rescue of two poor animals from a state of misery most har rowing to every one possessing the feelings of humanity. Certainly he who could be guilty of the inhuman conduct that we exposed did not deserve to have his feelings in any way consulted ; but even in our exposure of his cruelty we had no vindictive intention towards him, and we expressly stated that we withheld his name in the hope that a tardy sense of shame would lead him to abate his infamous treatment of the suffering animals. That object has been attained, and now our task is done ; but it would be a most foul disgrace to the law of England, or of any civilised nation, were it possible for law, in the circumstances that we have described, to be made the instrument of silencing an honest journal—ia such a case the liberty of the press would be but an empty name. At all events, we have no fear of not standing justified by the world at large as having done our duty, and done no more than was most clearly justifiable on the grounds of common humanity and public policy." Notwithstanding the appearance of this paragraph, the plaintiff took no steps against the Worcester Herald, as his name was not mentioned, and in the following week, Dec. 23, a report was published in that journal of a meeting at Glou cester of "The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals," presided over by the Lord Bishop of the dio cese, and furnished by ;heir own reporter. The report gave an outline of the speech of a Mr. Thomas, the Secretary of the Society, in which, after some introductory observations, he alluded to the case of cruelty to a mare which had been reported in the Worcester Herald. He then went on to say— " Last week I went to Barnard's-green, near Great Malvern, and there I ascertained that the person's name was Boilers, and that he lived on some property of his own. I had an interview with him, and induced him to show me where the animal was confined. Certainly, my impression is, that Bellers is not an accountable agent, and that is the most charitable construction I can put on his conduct. die ad mitted the facts—nay, pointed out to me the very place where he had confined the poor mare, and told me that he removed her from one part to another, because she had nearly hung herself. I ascertained also the nameof an in dividual who was in the service of this man during part of the time the cruelty was practised. I found him out, and I have in my possession a statement in writing. signed by the lad who was in his service up to a recent period (Michael mas, 1842, as we undeistood). He there states that the ani mal was fed on grass and hay, and in such proportions as were not sufficient to keep life within the poor creature. A small quantity of straw was laid down as a bed, but it was uniformly all eaten up. The lad states that he left the ser vice because he was ashamed at being connected with such cruelty. Unfortunately, through a defect in the Act of Par liament, we are not able to bring the perpetrator of this act of cruelty to justice; but I have prepared a report of the case, and given his name and address, and forwarded it to the Morning Herald, and, by means of its publication, the ma n will deservedly meet with punishment in the public re probation which his conduct merits." Upon receiving information of the appearance of this re port. the plaintiff, thus specially pointed out by his name and residence, determined upon bringing an action against the defendants, and a writ was issued on the 27th January. Some negotiations then took place, and an apology was pro posed by the defendants ; but the terms in which it was couched not being considered satisfactory by the plaintiff's advisers, the proceedings went on, and upon the sth March two pleas were delivered, one of which justified the publica tion of the libels in question, upon the ground that the ma-' terial parts of the statements contained therein were true in fact. That plea, however, only remained on the record six days, as upon the 11th of March it was withdrawn, and no tice thereof sent to the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD addressed the jury for the defend.. ants, observing that his instructions did not require him to say or insinuate one word against the character of the plain tiff, and if it was not his object to make money at the de fendants' expense, but really and truly to challenge them to the proof of the imputations which had been cast upon his conduct, he would have ample reason to be satisfied with the result of that day's trial if ;the jury should only award him moderate damages. He (Mr. Sergeant Talfourd) was free to admit, on'the behalf of tha defendants, that believing the facts to be such as' had been reprisented to them at the time of the insertion of the articles, they were satilfied; now that the case had been thoroughly sifted, that they had been misinformed. The first paragraph had been inserted with the bond 'fidt object of retelling the animal, whose fate had excited the sympathy of the defendants, front the durance in which she had been kept; and he submitted that when they TESTIMONIALS These works can be safely recommended, as well for the moral truths contained, as for the extensive and successful result of the au thor's experience "—London Morning Journal.

By a strange combination of mistaken friends of humanity 'with men who deliberately aim to cripple the manufacturing interest, Lord Ashley has been enabled to carry his amendment on the Fac. tories Bill, to restrict the labour of women and young. persons under 21 years of age to 10 hours a day. This extraordinary vote was given by a majority of 179 to 170, on Monday last, against the decided and strenuous opposition of the Government, and against the declared and strong opinion of the Factory Inspectors. Several of the Members who spoke in favour of Lord Ashley's amendment seem to forget that the true principle of social eco. nomy is to leave industry free and unrestrained; and that this is not a principle of small importance, but one vital to the prospe. rity of a nation, and connected with the personal liberty, the dearest rights, and the substantial comforts of the people. They seem also to forget that factory labour is not compulsory ; it is purely voluntary. A factory worker, if out of health, or dts. satisfied with his treatment or remuneration, or induced by any personal or domestic circumstance, or even by capri ce , may quit his work whenever he pleases. He sees men in a thousand other occupations around him, and he may change his line of life whenever he thinks fit, if by so doing he could better himself. They forget, too, that the high wages of factory workers—for they are high, comparatively—obtain for them better food, better clothing, better houses, and more of all the comforts of life, con. ducive at once to health and to respectability, than could be bad for the lower wages which abridged labour could purchase. They forget, when talking of the selfishness of manufacturers—. who, by the way, are no more open to the charge than any other class of men, and not so much so as that class which produces ha. bitual scarcity of food in the country, for its own pecuniary advan tage—that the profits of the manufacturer are indissolubly con. nected with the comforts of the labourer. Profits and wages rise and fall together, and you cannot destroy or reduce the former, without equally destroying or reducing the latter. They apparently forget, that though the Legislature may fix maximum of labour, it cannot fix a minimum. It cannot provide that the mills shall work ten hours, or eight hours, or at all. The talk about equalising labour is pure nonsense. To diminish the productiveness of industry, has no tendency whatever to malts► the demand for it more steady. They seem to forget that the grand cause of the superior wealth and greatness of England is the superior industry and energy of its inhabitants; and that whatever fetters the latter endangers the former. They seem almost without exception to be ignorant that the price of manufactured goods cannot be raised or kept up at the pleasure either of the manufacturers or of the home consumers (however Self.denying the ►atter might be.) It is governed (se long as we are an exporting nation) by the price of similar products in the markets of the world ; and that price is itself goierned the cost of production in the country where goads can be made the cheapest. When we cease to manufacture cheaper than other countries, we must cease to export; but we cannot cease to expect without ruining the country and starving its inhabitants. Would this be "humanity P" Many, who talk of banishing women and children from the mills, and setting adult men to do their work, forget that fhb would be to degrade adult labour both in its character and its re. muneration. When men do, the work of women and children, they can only receive the wages of women and children. This is the sole reason why the band-loom weavers receive such miser able wages—it is Work which women and children can do nearly as well as men. But if the women and children should be driven out . of the mills, and the husbands and fathers should only receic• the wages which women and children received before, what wot be the condition of the families? Their wages would not he re. duced a sixth, but at least a half, perhaps two-thirds! And how would this conduce to the comtbrt of the working classes p —at to their health ?—or to their education and moral improvement? If we believed that the working class would be advantaged by is Ten Hours' Bill, we would support it with all our hearts. We would do it tbr their own sakes, because they are by far the greater number, and therefore their interests are more important.both the eyes of God and of all good men. But we would do it also , for their masters' sakes; for we know that what was good for the woikinen would be good also for the masters. The interests of the two are identified. Capital and labour will ride upon the same horse as long as the world lasts. But inasmuch as we believe that this measure is not called for by humanity—that its Onsets would be the reverse of what bu.. manity would desire—that it proceeds on . a principle which Je dangerous to liberty—that it would be very perilous to the trade of the country, and of - all who depend upon it—that it would give a most formidable advantage to our foreign competitors—and that therefore it would bring poverty, misery, and consequent demo. ralization, i nstea d of happiness to the community —we feel bound to raise out warning voice, against it. The mill-owners of Leeds, both in the flax and the woollen trades, have sent up a memorial and deputation to London, to protest against the ten hours' clause. But we find the manufac. turers in Manchester, Huidersfield, and other towns are very supine; for which two reasons are alleged—lst, they do not be. Here it possible that Government can allow the Bill to pass ; and 9.d, they are so disgusted and wearied out with the yearly inter. ferences or threatenings of the Legislature, that they have become hopeless or sulky, . . - We think they are ♦ery wrong. If they do not protect them• selves, they may rely upon it no one else can efficiently protect them. If they are indifferent to their own Interests and characters. they must not be surprised at the loss of both.
