EMANCIPATION OF INDUSTRY . SOCIETY. • . • A preliminary meeting' of a number of influential gentlemen connected with the above Society, who have already taken offices at. 22, Parliament-street, wan held on Saturday last, at the British Coffee-house,' Cock spur-street, for the purpose 'of extending its operations. The Chair was taken; at twe o'clock, by Joshua Schole field, Esq., M.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. ; T. Laurie Murray, Esq.; Charles Enderby, Esq.; A. Spottiswoode, Esq._; Esq.; E. Capps, Esq.; E. Body; Esq.; -and several others. - - Mr.' SCROLgFIELD, 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 proceedings . of the Society, he ,felt assured that the timefor carryina out its principles was most op portune and well-advised. ° The pretended prosperity-of the country was all fallacions, 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 Seciety,. which provided 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 of thai changp of currency which was 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, in 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 hind 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 in 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 meeting.—[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 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 for the h e benefit exertions of of all parties in one common effort, the suffering industry of the country. The attempt to condu c t th e b us i ness o f the co u ntry with a currency of a metalli c s t an d ar d was evidently futile. The production of gold m i g ht 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 had 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 advanced. _ _ Mr. LAMIE MURRAY stated that, having been con nected with the Society formed in 1833, to which Mr. Wallace had referred, he was able to confirm what had fallen from that Hon. Gentleman. 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 fled principle. Too much deference was paid to the opinions and scruples of some influential parties, with the hope of obtaining their Parliamentary support and carrying the measure they 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 foimed to fall back upon the people, and those who were suffer ing under the effects of the evil complained of. His opi nion was in favour of placing the principles of the So ciety in their true light before the public, but especially with distinctness before those by whom they were op posed. He did not wish to be mixed up with those who advocated an irresponsible paper remedy, or be misre presented as wishing to depreciate the value of money 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 and limited the better—the sooner would the public become acquainted with the relative merits of the principles of these 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 source the precious metals had been obtained. He instanced two cases 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 puxsue in 1837 for the purpose of re taming the gold in their coffers ; he argued that periods of, prosperity are periods when the : precious metals 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 he mentioned a recent case of a number of the natives of of India having returned - to their hoines; from the Mau ritiui, 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 undef 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 Ama l ie conver--, tible in gold at the market value, insteafreNtrthe fixed price of 31 17s. 10A-d. 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. THE PRO-CORN-LAW LEAGUERS. Yesterday evening, at the Freemasons' Tavern, a meeting, in pursuance of a requisition, of some indivi duals calling themselves the " National Anti-League Association,' was held at half-past six o'clock, at which 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 one, must inevitably 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 object of attack by the League, but their power and numbers are derived chiefly from the delusions which they have unscrupulously imposed on manufeeturing 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. SILEIMD 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 have 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, Bowring, 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.—(Laughter.) 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 (i n o b e di ence to a hint from some person on the platform) by stating that he—(himself—not Jugurs th ti)—w as 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. Bun.- ROWES, a delegate from the London Union of the Spitalfields' weavers, and who seconded the resolution, after which An. individual, who described hiinself as a journey 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 vs , ould injure four classes of persons—(Cries of " No, no")—and would tend to injure and destroy a most industrious, intelli gent, and truly benevolent 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), I am, sure of this, for I have been in Yankee town.—(Renewed laughter.) He then entered into some details on his present pecu niary emoluments, as compared with what they had keen when he was (to use his own phraseology) "-a-doing so many many more batches" during the week. He next passed from this subject to propose the second re solution, which was to the effect that the meeting de nounced the attempt of the Anti-Corn-law League to excite 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. RIIFFIE RIDLEY, a person well known as 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-lavi League, who also mustered very strongly, were equally vociforous. When order was somewhat restored, he was calling upon the people not to be led away by either of the two antago nistic parties—the Anti-Corn-law League, or those who were formed to oppose them, because both parties were trying to sacrifice their (the people's) 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 except their political redemption.— (Cheers.) Such being his opinion, he should move as an amendment upon the last resolution, That while this meeting is of opinion that the line of policy adopted by 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 system 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 the 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 short time. Mr. M‘GRATrr. seconded the amendment, which ap peared to have a vast number of supporters in the room, although no official declaration was made from the Chair, as to whether it was passed or not. Here another scene of indescribable confusion again arose, owing to a number of persons claiming their right L to address the meeting from the platform, which be-. came densely thronged, and a long time intervened be. fore any person could be heard, A great many other pers ost of whom were well known as Chartist orators, endcavoured 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,, Islingtontgreen, 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 sto r my s y m ptoms 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: :wtoin had congregated themselves into little imoi'lle what might be - seen on a Sunday in Smith- Clerken well-green, for the purpose of hearing e 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. EXAMPLhS. Entry. Policy . Age. Sm. Annual Bonus Cash Prem. No. Prem. Added. Bonus. Reduced.

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. Holl), 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, ai 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 vieux moustache—that strange mixture of pathos and fun, which can only b e found in the French soldier or the English sailor. The Suzett 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 witnesfed. 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 danse. In addi tion to the large chandelier in the centre of the theatre, there were six magnificent cut glass chandeliers sus pended 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 tanner, 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 salo'on 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 waltzing with most demure looking gypsies. Antony and Cleopatra made a vis a vis to Macbeth and Haidee, 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'eeil 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-YESTERDAY.

The betting agst Sir Robert showed an improvement on the odds last quoted in town, but did not support the Liverpool movement ; 12 to 1 was offered in two or three quarters until late in the day, without a blow being struck ; at a point more, however, 70 was laid out, to which succeeded two or three bets in small sums at the odds previously refused. Pagan opened at 16 to 1, and in the course of the afternoon advanced a couple of points ; very little was said about Catto nite, and agst the Prior there was a majority of layers. No thing worthy of notice was said or done about the other favourites. DERBY. 6 to 1 agst Mr. John Day's The Ugly Buck 13 to 2 agst Mr. Crockford's Rattan 16 to 1 agst Col.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Hertford, - March 2. CIVIL SIDE. (Before Lord Chief Justice DEZ.IMAN 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. - rt was an ; action brought by the plaintiff, n o m i na ll y , t o recover damages for an alleged trespass non his property, but the real object in view was to establish a right to prevent the public from pass ing over his property. - ' Air. Thesiger, Mr. Sergeant Ch anne l Ogle, , Mr. 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 attached to it, and it has been in his posiession for some •years., It would appear that there is a path which was near his house. that his beert used forseveral 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 annoyancelo the plaintiff; and, acting under advice that the path in question had not been legally dedicated to the public, he resolved upon clos ing it, and preventing persons from making Urie of it as here tofore,. The inhabitants, however, feeling ~f liat 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 for 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 b een ma d e use o f by the public, their right to pass 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 thOe 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-HOUSE. 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. Bozon 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 preceeded 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 rab:e, 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 object of great commisseration. About a fortnight after the ship had reached St. Helena a further calamity occurred. sAn 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 previouf,ly 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 vessol to that place could not have been other than fraudu lent, particularly as she was within being so short a distance of the island of Ascension, to which it was the ditty 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 capta;m, be feloniously took possession of Captain May's pro perty, and by disposing of that property at St. Helentt, 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, arid observed smoke there, and saw the captain lying, shot through the head. I went down, and sat him lying, with a•wound through his temples. I saw the pistol there; I afterwards looked through the sky-light and saw the defendantlying 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 s e ttl e ever ythi ng .' 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 One. There was a survey on board after the accident.: The defendant told me an evening or two after .the captaid's death She reason why he wanted to go to St. Helena wa s b ecause the widow's property would fetch more there than in. England. _ ' Abijah Lott, of No. 29, Princes-street, Rotherhitire, 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 thgt was net 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 Et 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 hP:d 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 a verdict was at once re turned, after the examination of th e crew , t o th e e ff ec t, that the unfortunate man died by his own hand. Ile 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 . PrRIE 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 sum of 2001., and two sureties in 1001. 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 fvcr been cast. A CHILD THROWN OVERBOARD AND DROWNED.--• Yesterday afternoon, as two boys were grappling for wood and rope in the lumber 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 ove' . •board is at present un known. An inquest will be he!.td upon the body.—. Hull Advertiser.
