SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. PROS THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The style in which Mr. Gladstone (if the Quarterly article on Ward's Ideal Church is cor rectly attributed to that Right Honourable ecclesias tical politician) sets aside, without argument, the views of those who consider the existing Church as having been founded by the Reformers of the six teenth century—receives an appropriate commentary in the resolutions at the great meeting in Exeter. It neither belongs to Mr. Gladstone, nor any other ecclesiastical politician, by virtue of the mere idea -which he and other High-Churchmen entertain of the original titles, and apostolic succession, of the Church--(which idea he rather cooly assumes as the one held by the " instructed members generally" of that Church) —it does not belong to such statesmen, to follow out the shadowy motives of polemics in public action. Indeed, Mr. Gladstone has good reason to know this. Robespierre told the Jacobin Club he was obliged to come to them for consolation, and open his heart, afflicted by the want of civism of the Convention and Committees. In like manner Mr. Gladstone rushes to the Reviews, from a Cabinet dead to his Churchism. Mr. Gladstone would no longer know himself, if it were not for the Tri rnestrials. He is like Dame Trot, pitifully shorn 'of her nether integuments by the Pedlar (or Peeler), whose name was Stout—and his last chance ot' self-recognition is, that his " little dogs" of the press still " wag their little tails" in welcome to him. It must be infi finitely consolatory to 3 , 1 r. Gladstone, as member of a Government that is positively getting into a scrape for the love of endowing Roman Catholicism, to be still sufferesi to do the indignant in the Quar terly at poor Mr. Ward, for " laying down in the clearest terms, that the rival communien of the Papal Church in England is not schismatical !!" Take your choice, Mr. Gladstone. Either the " rival communion " is not schismatical," or else your Government—the Government graced with your all zmarantring orthodoxy—is going out of its way to encourae;e schism, and help it to endowments I But, alas! nuwivant. tutu fries! While Mr. Gladstone, in cite arti-,e of - Ile Quarterly, is predicating " schism" of the c• rival .communion, '—Mr. Croker, in another article of the same Quarterly, after intimating, in no obseure term.sa, the policy of " a direct State provi sion for the R omen Catholic clergy of Ireland," pro• needs to recon amend to Lord Roden, and other such pillars of Mr. Gladstone's exclusive churchism, the extreme propr ioty of carrying out the Charitable Be quests Act by endowing the rival Church themselves! We should to know what extra amount of italics and e a mates, notes of interrogation? exclamation! dashes —, an I, all else pertaining to the well-known war-reitalelishe eent of type of the Quarterly, would, have been put :he requisition, in the Melbourne era, if the following sentences had appeared in an organ of Vr nig opini Dns : --"The Roman Catholics of Ireland are r apidly growing in wealth and weight, thougi i not in proportion to the growth of the poorer population. What, then, is inure pe:per tha a that the rich should be permitted, it please, tes take upon themselves, to the relief I poorer • neighbours, a larger and more per- , seatieet share of the expenses of the due and decent celilarreeen of tt eir own rites, and the respectability ot their pastor ? But it is not the affluent Roman Catholics only 1 whom this Act will be considered an indulgence; we trust that we shall see that the snore consider -I 'le Protestant proprietors will come forward to avail themselves of this privilege— they will feel eq ually with the Roman Catholic the charitable irn,eulse of increasing the comfort and it.dependence of the priest, and of alle viating, if not of altogether saving, the burden of his maintenance to a population too poor in general to maintain iteelf.' We have somewhat strayed from the reference, with which we set out, to the great meeting at Exeter. But the topics are most intimately cornected. The more w e see the Administration conceding to Roman Catholics—the more firmly we are ealied on, as Protestants. to make good our owm. position. Mr. Gladstone's recipe has been utterly discarded by the Government of which he is a member—the recipe, namely, pro pounded by him in his 'Church and State'—of up holding " truth" as truth—and discountenancing rival communiens as schisms. It is now quite clear that zruth, as truth, finds no more preference with this -Administration than with those whom Mr. Glad atone and others denounced for their latitudina eianism. It remains therefore with this Pro testant eremmunity to compel regard to their views Hof truth,—and no way of doing this can he more :proper than that resolved by the Exeter meeting. .Indeed their diocesan has, in some sense, the merit of having suggested the very course now adopted. The Bishop of Exeter has admitted the pro- Amble inconvenience of many directions of the rubric. :But, instead of letting these quietly remain asleep, as Jilr some two centuries past, he suddenly inculcates !their disused observance—moved, in fact, by the new !zeal of the restless tail of his junior clergy. But he !has himself suggested that the tame authority, which inoposed these ritual matters, may abolish them. To :but authority his laity appeal. They appeal to their :representative in the Church—to that authority -which—whatever may be held to make churches—eau alone make, and keep, any church a public and privi eged establishment. They petition the Sovereign son the word " Forward !"—not for tho mere sane lion of the starri quo. The clerical movers cry "Back ward !"—the laity—" Forward I" God help the right ! THE GAME-LAWS. Whether the farmer will derive more advantage by the agitation against game being taken up by persons who are not game preservers, than if the landlords took up tine question, we shall not at pre sent affirm nor deny. But we can safely say this, that many tenant farmers in all parts of England, who feel the game to be a serious grievance, and 'ho have also been afraid of the Anti-Corn-law League, are now much more friendly to the League, since some of its leading members have come for ward as " farmers' friends" upon the game question. We understand that Mr. Bright, taking advantage of the extensive agencies and ma chinery of the League, has recently sent a circular intu: every part of the kingdom, addressed to leading agriculturists, asking information as to the injury done to the crops by game. In a certain district in Hampshire, remarkable alike for the fertility of its soil and the abundance of its game, several farmers have been consulted as to the replies which should be made to the queries put to them, and they gave their answers thus : Question. " How many hares or rabbits are equal to the keep of a sheep ?" Answer. " Tv, o—with ►hat they eat and what they damage." Q. " What is the difference in value betwe en a farm on which pale is preserved and one where is is spot?" A. " Twenty-eve per cent." Q. "Do landlords generally make an allowance' equal to the damage caused by game ?" A. " They do not." Q. "Is not gan le preserving very prejudicial to good farming and t' a the interest of the farmers ?" A. " It cannot bet otherwise." Q. "Is it not inj arious to the morals and character of the farm labourers?" A. "Abundantlyy so." It is then remarksed by those who make these re plies, that Mr. Bright should not have confined his inquiries to hares and rabbits. In one field, occu pied by a farmer on an estate covering six miles of country, the whole estate swarming with game, 11 8 many as two hundred pheasants have been counted this year an twelve acres of barley stubble. They had fed there during the ripening and harvest ing of the barley. Some of them were shot on the stubble ; and one, we are informed by a Hampshire correspondent, which came into the possession of one et the farmers who signs the replies to Mr.:Bright, was examined, and 4. " contained in its crop 506 perfect barleycorns, exclusive of corns half digested, which are all pros t e ba rv t e t tad s c o a m n e be shown to any one." It is then shown dayese barleycorns are equal to a gallon of barley each fo r . each hundred birds. In another field, (if tw t m y-e i ght acres, on the same estate, but net let to Xen Y a - t o enormous number of 1,200 pheasants has been seen a t o d nce. This field was sown with barley by the land lor d the use of the birds ; but Cie y were not confi ned to it, nor to Salisbury its locality. They invaded th e farms * farmer, writing some little time ago i n the and Winchester Journal, states that h e has known up wards of eight h undred grains of sound wheat, a mass partly digested, taken from the stoma c h i t a ola b c e l l; of one pheasant ..shot in a field ne w ly s supposes that to Ire the food of the bird for o ne da y, e that the seed lies thirty days in the ground, a nd that therefore on , . pheasant extracts from the seed sown twenty-four thousand grains ! Ile asks what the loss must be where hundreds of pheasants flock ir.to the fields, as is the case in his neighbourhood ? " It may be said," l'ae observes, " that this calculation i.. too high. I think not. In the case mentioned everything was 3:air ; the bird was shot by game-preserving nobleman, who gave it to a tenant on the spot, and he had the curiosity to .:aarnine it. Let those, howeVer, woo will not b, lieve, obtain one and examine it ; and then put th eir calculation as lo w as possible, and it will prove high enough to show that instead of doing the farmer gioci,lt inflicts on :nim an enormous injury." This Eampshire farmer eludes here to assertions same ti .nes made that the pheasants relieve the farmers a• grubs and insects, and seldom injure their et nm. We lieve where they are preserved in such numbers th y int Ist destroy a very considerable q tantity of orn. We understand that a farmer in Oat county, who has this year steeped his seed 's heat in ' a liqui d prepared from vitriol, with a view t.. preventing a diriease to which wheat is liable in his &stria, has had. toss misfortune to poison some of his THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4, 1845. landlord's pheasants by so doing, and thereby get him self into serious trouble. This, at least, proves that pheasants pick up a farmer's seed wheat. Scarcely a spring or summer comes, but we hear of diseases in the wheat plant; and so loud, and apparently well founded, are the complaints, that we should think any remedy would be applied that might be proved effectual, and any experiment encouraged which seemed reasonable. We see the manufacturers effecting great changes for the public good by new chemical appliances. But place them on a footing with the farmer—let their property be exposed to pilferers, and let it be a crime in them to use any chemical ingredient which, when tasted or touched by the pilferer, would destroy its life, and where would be their progress in manufactures, or their advance ment in science ? We know nothing of the worth of the Hampshire farmer's wheat liquid. But we think that diseases in wheat being so universally complained of, it is unwise to restrict him from making an experiment, merely because that experi ment caused the death of those birds which were eating his seed wheat, which their owner had no right to allow them to eat. We find some difference of opinion as regards the amount of destruc tion actually done to the crops of the farmer by the game. But one thing is certain, that in districts where there are no artificial grasses, corn, nor turnip crops raised, no hares nor pheasants, nor even rabbits, thrive. The extensive dis trict of the New Forest, in Hampshire, proves this. There the shelter, water, insects, worms, acorns—everything but the farm fields—are in favour of game ; and though well watched by keepers, there the game will not accumulate. On the con trary, wherever an attempt is made to preserve game in a corn-growing district, success is certain and easy. The only enemies to it are the poachers. We learn from another local paper that there are at the present time one hundred persons in Winchester gaol for offences against the game-laws ; or against those laws which, though not called game-laws, are ' used for the protection of game against poachers. A considerable portion of these are corn mitted from the neighbourhood of the great game keeping estate already alluded to—where 1,200 pheasants were seen on twenty-eight acres of barley stubble. These prisoners are kept in prison at the expense of the county—the heaviest part of which is borne by the farmers. Their families are main tained in the workhouse also by the farmers and yet the farmers are called upon to aid and assist in preserving that game -which so much injures them. We have been informed that a nobleman, who is a rigid preserver of game in the south, and whose estate includes parts of several parishes, has forbidden his tenants to rake their stubble, or permit the poor people to glean it. He has also forbidden his tenants to turn their pigs out into their own fields, either to eat up the lost ears and grains of corn, or the acorns which drop from the trees in the' hedge-rows. All these must be left to the phea sants, even though every hedge-row and roadway on the farms is included in the measurement for which rent is paid. We are aware that such illibe rality as this cannot be charged against all landlords ; far from it. But what between those who are thus in active hostility to their tenantry, and the many more who injure their tenantry unin tentionally, it is no wonder that the farmers as a body see little hope of being relieved by the landlords from the game grievance. We repeat, that the leading men of the League have found the want of protection from game a means of ingratiating themselves with farmers who did not lis ten to them on the corn-law question. And farmers who once believed in the virtue of the corn-law are now questioning if protection was ever meant for them, when game is so increased every year upon them, and all their complaints of it are so unheeded. Thus Mr. Bright, merely as a member of the League—as an advocate of free trade--as the enemy of the corn-law—gains an advantageous position by taking up this great grievance of the farmers. But we presume that the injustice done to the tenant farmers, and the immorality spreading wider, and deepening and hardening as it spreads, amongst the poaching population, are what the Honourable Mem ber for Durham has had more especially in view. What he may be able to do, either for farmers or poachers, as a Member of Parliament, is quite an other question. The subject is beset with difficulties. But the farmers are glad of friendship from any quarter on this question.--Chronicle. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. James Lathbury, butcher, of Whitechanel, was summoned for having refused to pay two quarter's poors'-rate. The assessor appeared with his books to prove that the amount demanded upon the assessment of Mr. Lathbury's house at 95/. per annum was due. The defendant admitted that he had objected to pay the sum demanded, but if he thought it was a just and legal claim, he would not for one moment have hesitated. The authorities, however, had thought proper to assess him a great deal more than his neighbours were assessed. The LORD MAYOR—Who of your neighbours are assessed less than you are ? The defendant mentioned a few names of which that of Mr. Smith, the eminent distiller, was one. It had, he said, been considered fair, for what reason he did not know, to assess the proprietor of the immense premises which cost 150,0001. or 160,0001., known as the Whitechapel distillery, at no more than 1,1001. a year, while he was assessed at 951. The LORD MAYOR—How much rent do you pay ? Defendant-1001. a year. The LORD MAYOR—You are only rated at 951., notwithstanding your own acknowledgment as to your liability to a higher rate. The defendant said he was a tenant-at-will, and that the rating had crept up year after year until it had reached its present amount. He had stated his objection, but the board, instead of taking it into consideration as he supposed they would have done, directed that he should be summoned before the Lord Mayor. For two years he had been subjected to what he considered to be an unequal and unjust ex action. The LORD MAYOR,--It is your own fault if you have paid what you considered to be an illegal claim, without inquiring into the matter. The defendant said his surveyor had assessed him at 521. a-year. The LORD MAYOR—How was that, when you say you pay 1001. a-year for your premises ? Defendant —I only paid 601. a-year at that time. The LORD MAYOR then examined the parochial books, and said to the defendant, " I find that the 7th of December was the day of appeal. Now you have, by inattention to the subject, lost your appeal, so that, as far as the rates for which you have been sum moned are concerned, you will be obliged to pay. You ought to have known the process, for notices is regularly posted upon the church doors." The defendant—But, my Lord, I very seldom visit the church. The LORD MAYOR—Then, perhaps, you may put down this as one of the bad effects of not going to church. You must pay these two quarters, as it is too late for you to appeal ; but you can object to the dis charge of the next quarter's poor-rates, and I would have you do so for your own satisfaction. The defendant said that he should certainly act upon his Lordship's suggestion, and instantly pay the present demand. Hannah Haines, who was charged, on Wednesday, with having intended self-destruction, was brought up for re-examination. The defendant had mentioned, upon her first examination, some particulars about her husband's relations, and art Lord Mayor directed that care should be taken of her by the matron of the Compter. His Lordship yesterday stated that be found, so far as he had been able to ascertain, that the poor woman's statement was unexaggerated, and that she was really an object of compassion. He then handed her a sovereign, which, he said, he had received for her, and desired her to leave her address with Mr. Goodman, and to call at the Mansion-house on Monday next. The appearance of the defendant was much altered for the better. A lad, named George Ford, was charged by Mr. Goldhatn, the clerk of Billingsgate-market, with having impeded the ticket-porters in their work in Billingsgate-market. Mr. Goldhatn said the defendant was a most annoy ing nuisance, for it was his practice to watch for and tempt the industrious boys who laboured in the fish market to gamble away their earnings. Of late the tossing, a game at which the defendant was the prin cipal player, had become a serious evil, and the ticket porters were greatly obstructed by the crowds of blackgusrds who attended to gamble. The defendant said he had only tossed like others. The Loan MAyoa—l shall send you to hard labour in Bridewell for fourteen days ; and I think the knowledge of that, and the assurance from roe that every one brought before me under such circum stances shall have similar punishment, will cure the evil.

It is considered that this will be one of the best paying lines in Ireland, and several of the most influential personages in the county of Waterford ex press their appr , ,bation of the plan, and have signi fied their intention of becoming shareholders, as have also the Bonmahon Mining Company, who are most anxious for its promotion. The English Great Western Railway Company have, likewise, intimated their intention of takiag shares, and that to a consider able amount, in case the required number of shares should not be taken up in the several localities. It will also receive the support of the Marquis of Waterford, the Earl of Huntingdon, Lord Stuart de Decies, Ralph Osborne, Esq., M.P., &c.

(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 3.) SUGAR.—Firmness has characterised the West India Sugar market this week, the quantity on show has been small, and the quality of the principal part indifferent. Today there was a good business transacted in West India Muscovado Sugar, but merchants were, in some instances, compelled to accept rates rather under those previously quoted for brown and inferior yellow, but good, and fine kinds, supported the former currency. 520 were disposed of, making the total purchases for the three market days 1,490 hhds and tierces. • REFINED.-There has been much activity in the mar ket for Refined Goods since we last wrote, the home trade have been eager purchasers, and the Sugar houses are, for the most part, cleared. The consumption continues to be as large as ever, and refined is still much cheaper, in comparison with good and fine yellow West India ; brown lumps have been selling at 728 6d to 735, standard lumps 74s to 74s 6d, Tittlers ord to mid 73s to 74s 6d, good 75s to 76s 6d, fine and very fine 77s to 83s, Hambro' loaves 74s to s2s, double 83s to 90s, and wet lumps 70s to 718 per cwt. Bastards are plentiful ; fine selling at 488 to 545, good 43s to 475, mid 41s to 425, and low 38s to 40s per cwt ; of the lower descriptions, the stock in particular is a heavy one. For Treacle there has been an immense demand ; boiled from West India Molasses fetching 21s to 225, patent 22s 6d to 238 6d, and Golden Syrup 24s to 27s per cwt. In Bonded Crushed Sugar a further advance has taken place in prices, 30s 6d to 31s per cwt having been paid, indeed, in some cases, orders have been refused. There has been a lively demand for Loaves, higher prices have been given, and they rule as follows :-Turkey, double refined 11 2i to 4 lbs on board British ship 388 to 425, Hamburgh Gibs 355, 9 to 10 lbs 33s 6d to 345, 13 to 14 lbs 828, Tittlers 20 to 301bs 318 to 31s 6d, and Prussian 40 to 45 lbs 41s per cwt. Pieces are selling readily at 25s to 275, being higher. Bastards are in good demand at 20s to 218 for yellow, and 19s for brown. For Treacle prices have risen from 128 9d to 13s per cwt. The value of Dutch Crushed Sugar is 28s to 29s per cwt. MAURITIUS.-There has been a greater desire math fested on the part of importers to realise, and a decline in prices has taken place of 2s to 33 for good and fine yellow, and is to Is 6d for inferior, middling, and brown and grey descriptions; the supply has consisted chiefly of bright yellow qualities; the demand, however, has been good, and 5,355 bags at public sale were all disposed of fine yellow at 60s to 63s 6d, good 57s 6d to 59s 6d, good mid 56s to 575, mid 54s to 558 6d, low 52s 6d, low heavy 498 6d, good brown 495, ord 425, fine grey 58s to 595, good 56s to 575, low to mid 528 6d to 555; and washed 53s to 60s per cwt. The quality of the Mauritius Sugar is decidedly superior to that of the former season, and it is now cheaper than West India or Bengal. EAST INDIA.-This afternoon three parcels of Bengal Sugar, amounting to 2,451 bags, were submitted to pub lic competition, and sold at full rates-good mid and good yellow at 51s 6d to 595, mid 54s to 575, low 528 to 53s 6d, good damp brown 455, mid 42s to 42s 6d, low 39s 6d, damp yellow 55s 6d to 575, good sound white 665, and damp and washed 60s 6d to 64s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.-To-day there was more inquiry for Fo reign Sugar, and 1,400 chests of yellow Havannah were sold privately at 21s 6d to 23s for good to fine quality, being full rates. The market generally has a brisker ap pearance. COFFEE.-Importers of West India have shown firm ness, and none has been brought to public sale, but by private contract purchases to a fair extent have been made, and full rates are given ; the supply of middling and good descriptions is very small, but the stock of ordinary and good ordinary is large ; the low rates that prevail for such cause merchants to supply the market sparingly, as there is a good consumption going on, and stocks in the dealers' hands are by no means large. For public competition 300 casks, the chief part Berbice, are declared ; the quality of this kind of Coffee is decidedly inferior to that of previous seasons. Although there is a large stock here of all sorts of East India; still the leading importers are not inclined to press sales, which may be ascribed to the cheapness of all descriptions. With Ceylon the market has been sparingly supplied. and by private contract several purchases have been made in Plantation kinds upon former terms, and this is the cheapest kind of Coffee subject to the 4d per lb duty ; for good ordinary a fair demand has existed privately, and full rates are paid. Only 512 bags have been offered at public sale, good ordinary pale sold at 52s to 53s ; country damaged first class 51s, second ditto 508 6d ; pale broken 48s ; pea berry 69s to 69s 6d, and country damaced, first class 65* per cwt. For public sale 1,500 bate nearly ail plantation kind are declared. Holders of Al )cha are still reluctant to reduce their price .. Company's .lava is mere in esti mation, and theca are buyers by private contract of good ordinary 1 a,C 4I 50e, but there are no sellers under 15s and some parties require 52s per cwt. For Sing porei there has been a steady demand at 30s to 36e, anti 8u • perior at 373 to 42s per cwt. Although prices are un usually low for other East India sorts, still few pur chasers are at present to be met with ; Padang is 24s to 28s, and Sumatra 20s to 23s per cwt. There are , few orders for Foreign Coffee at present, but holders still remain firm, and purchases cannot be made but at full rates. A better demand is shortly looked for not only for Foreign, but also for common East India Coffee. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLAND/3.-0f East India, Lee wards, and Demerara, some parcels have arrived tuis week.

Orange Pekoe, fine scented is fetching 3s 4d to 38 5d per lb. This afternoon several purchases were made in Tea, and the market has still an improving appearance; common clean Pouchong is not to be purchased under 7d, and ordinary Congou under lid per lb cash. FRUIT. -Although there have been some arrivals of Currants, still merchants remain firm, and require 478 for Zante and Cephalonia, and 49s to 50s for Patras.

INDIGO.-There has been only a limited business transacted in East India this week, but holders show firmness, and are not inclined to submit to any further reduction in prices. Bengal, compared with last quar terly sale, is 2d to 4d per lb cheaper, and other descrip tions are rather cheaper than they were at that period. On.s.—The transactions in common descriptions of Fish Oils have been extremely limited this week, the rates accepted are rather under those previously quoted, although the stock is a small one, and less than it was last season at this time ; for Cod 30110 s to 311 has been accepted; Pale Seal 3310 s to 341; straw 321 to 321 lOs, yellow 301 lOs to 31/, brown 28/ lOs to 304 and common to fine Southern 281 to 331 per tun—none of any kind has been offered at public sale, although the stock of all kinds is only 1,450 tuns, being much less than that of last year ; still, prices for Seal are from 40s to 60s, and for Southern 70s to 80s per tun under those current at the close of 1843.

Yesterday George Hazel Fraser, a young man of highly respectable appearance and connexions, surrendered to take his trial, charged with feloniously stealing from the person of Ann Thorpe, wife of Richard Thorpe, one half-crown and a latch-key, the property of her husband. The trial created more than ordinary interest, in cone sequence of the extraordinary nature of the alleged robbery, and from the circumstance of the prisoner being possessed of an independent fortune, of which he had recently come into possession. The case lasted nearly the whole of the day, until a late hour in the evening. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Charnock. Ann Thorpe stated that she want into a public-house in the Borough, on the evening of the 4th of December last, to call fur a glad of gin, and while standing at the bar she felt some person's hand in her pocket, and on turning round saw the prisoner take his hand away, when she immediately accused him of the robbery, at the same time saying that if he would return the money she would forgive him and let him go. He denied the robbery in the most positive manner, and, a policeman coming up at the time, addressed him, tee in " The woman accuses me of robbing her." The policeman ast:ed her of what site had been robbed, when she stated two half-crowns and a latch-key. One of the helf crowns the proseeutrix gave a description of, stating that it was a George IV. one, and black at the edges. The prisoner was taken to the station-house, where he pulled his handkerchief out of his coat pocket. The policeman, hearing something rattle, asked the pri ' soner what ho had got there ; to which he replied, " Nothing." The key was, however, found in the hand kerchief, at which the prisoner seemed thunderstruck, and said he could not account for its possession. He was then searched, and two half-crowns were found in his pockets, one of which the prosecutrix identified as be longing to her, and swore it was the same that she had lost. Mr. CHARNOCEI severely cross-examined the prosecu trix. She stated that the lived with her husband before she was married ; was from home the whole of the day in question, until seven in the evening. The robbery took place about half-past six o'clock. Never saw the prisoner before. " I will most solemnly swear that I was never in a house of ill-fame on that evening with the prisoner. I was not drunk. I am not in the habit of drinking. I again most solemnly swear that I did not invite the prisoner to go with me to a house of ill-fame in Fishmonger's-alley. I do not know where it is. I had only been in one public-house before this. I paid 20. for something to drink, but whether it was gin or rum Ido not know. I never had any conversation with my husband about losing money. Ile did not say to me, I see by the papers you have lost two half- crowns.' " The Learned COUNSEL then, on behalf of the prisoner, made a most powerful address. He said it was one of the most unholy prosecutions ever brought into a court of justice, and ho would unfold such evidence on the part of the defence as would at once show that the woman was one of the most wicked and abandoned of her sex. 1 The Learned Co t urrsEL then called several witnesses, who proved that on the evening of the robbery the pro secutrix was turned out of the Naked Boy public-house, far being drunk and disorderly. Her dress was in the greatest state of confusion, and the skirt of the gown she wore came away from the body, and the prisoner t •ent for some pins to pin it. together. Elizabeth Sheen, a servant at a house of ill-fame in K - ent-street, stated that on the evening of the robbery th e prisoner came to the house in company with the pro.. sec sitrix. Witness herself lighted the woman up stairs. Tb ey were the only parties who came in that evening at sucl ian early hour. The prisoner was brought the next day to the house in custody of a policeman, and she in stanti.y identified him. On going to Union-hall, witness there saw the prosecutrix, who was the same woman who accorn pulled the prisoner to Kent-street the preceding evenin g. Witness could not be mistaken as to the identil :y. The landlord of the Naked Boy proved that the prose catrix was at the bar on the day of the robbery—she had sorne rum to drink—she was drunk and creating a dis turimne e, and witness turned her out himself. Other witnesses were called, who proved that the pro secutrix in the habit of getting so much intoxicated that secu t s r h i l f, vi as brought home in a state of insensibility on She was subject to " dru nken fits." h a aThe race r., hinlE and was unexpectedly called, and examined by the Learned Chairm an at some length, and he ad mitt ad that ho.haa ha d a conversation with his wife rela ive Lo her being robbed. summedof those saet distressinggrea t which said that the h t e he C p li r i e l s ß en U t d-g wtieone we were sometimesan d compelled to witness in a court of just ice. That there had been most wicked, w ilful, eon upt perjury on one side or the other was beyond a ( 100 bt, and it would be for the j ur y to decide on wh ic h. r., "here was one startling fact in the case which he could n of get over, and this was the circumstance of the key b sing found in the possession of the prisoner. Then ai gain the prosecutrix identified the hall-crown even be fa. re the policeman had seen it or examined it. The case wa.s a very difficult one, and the jury would weigh well the . evidence, and give it their most careful consideration, so a i to enable them to return a righteous, upright, and just judgment, fearless of all consequences. The pri sone r bad received a most undeniable character for ho nest e ; but, in considering their verdict, they would be quid ad by the evidence alone. The Learned Counsel had made some severe observations relative to the con duct of the Bench, stating that they had a prejudice ar, „j_ est the prisoner. Such was not the case. The C - Am - had only instituted a most searching cross-exami na Lion into the witnesses' evidence for the def ence , in era der t ) test their truth. The Court would commit th e ci oe et oirely to the hands of the jury, confident that they w cute, .re,`urn a just and righteous verdict, without fear, fi ivot ir, or affection, in accordance with the terms of ti 3eir solemn and sacred oath. T 1 ie jury immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty. 0 i hearing the verdict the prisoner burst into tears, at id was immediately surrounded by a host of friends. TI ,ere was an attempt at applause on hearing the vete dict, but it was immediately checked by order of the Co ,T rt. WEST YORKSHIRE. We are authorised to contradict a rumour that George Hudson, Esq., has " backed out" of tho West Yorkshire Railway. Mr. Hudson stands in precisely the same po sition at the present time towards this Company as when, as Chairman of the Leeds and Bradford Board of Di rectors, the guarantee of four per cent. from that Com pany was given t', the West Yorkshire. And we can further assure the Shareholders in this undertaking, that on the meeting of Parliament the invaluable aid of Mr. Hudson will be rendered to obtain the Bill.—Bradford Observer. NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE. Considerable alarm was felt on Saturday last by a report reaching the town that the short tunnel on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, near Corbridge, had that morning fallen in. On the managing com mittee repairing to the place, they found that a small portion had given way, which, although it will for a few days cause a lice delay in the arrival of the trains, was aot attended with any accident. The promptest measures were immediately to be taken, by , placing omnibuses and carts, so as to render the incon venience as trifling as possible ; and it is expected that within less than a week the passage will be opened, and the traffic, which will be in the meantime fully provided for, be resumed in the ordinary way. The public are aware that, for the safety of the passen gers and in consequence of the great increase of traffic, the Directors are having the whele line of rail way doubled, which has been done with the excep tion of this tunnel, now in the hands of the contractor. The enlarging of the tunnel is a work requiring consi derable skill, a drift above it being to be driven, by which the wider arch is made before the older one is re moved. In shifting some of the machinery by the con tractor's men, a hole was unluckily made through the present roof before the new one was finished, which let down some of the superincumbent earth and stopped the passage.— Tyne Mercury. NORTHUMBERLAND. The railway by Alnwick being now found practicable, by actual survey, Messrs. Gandell and Brunton, the eminent engineers, are preparing sections and plans to lay before the Board of Trade, with the memo rial of the inhabitants and others interested. The committee appointed at the meeting held in the Town-Hall, Alnwick, on the 4th of November last, having persevered and overcome every difficulty so far, notwithstanding the great opposition they have met with, there is no doubt but when the plans are finished and presented with the memorial, they will show the ad vantage of the line, not only as commanding a greater amount of traffic, accommodating to a much greater extent the inhabitants of the middle parts of Northumberland, but also saying a distance of two miles on the main mail line, and at a little expense.—Tyne Mercury. RAILWAY INDICATOR.--There has just been published in Paris an account of an instrument for indicating the speed of trains, and registering any undue excess ; this, it is expected, will act as a wholesome monitor to engine drivers, and lessen the risk of railway travelling, by ren dering it impossible to escape detection,where a dangerous velocity has been attained. This contrivance consists in a ' governor, such as is commonly used in steam-engines, and set in motion by the customary gearing from one of the axles of the locomotive. To the vertical sliding portion of the governor an index is attached, which passes along a graduated vertical scale, and, by the height to which it reaches, shows the degree of speed attained ; any excess of speed produces a further elevation, and brings into play a second index, which is unconnected wi.h the first, and which, on the fall of the governor, remains at its maximum height—a standing testimony against the negligence and recklessness of the engineer. As a further precaution, it is arranged that one of the balls of the Governor carries a hammer, which strikes a hell, and loudly calls for the attention of the driver. To prevent tampering with the indications of the instrument, the second or tell-tale index is locked up, and the key remains in the possession of some supe rior officer, who alone, at the termination of a journey, cnatniiie,a,tpiolanc.e Thet in first s ( t ) r i i g n a x l , ly position, hicli 0 n r leya.dy takes for a n limit, e w cogni sauce of the speed w ithin the regulated is open h b b e o l u i rh p o r o o d telts and if most clamorously against the g and the wrong.— t t s c h ) c i o s ti ts7 e be inspection an. neglected o o all co n i e n e a d i l t ' e a s d n , ne i g hbourhood eg COAL-PIT EXPLOSION.—On Friday morning last an explosion of fire-damp took place at Vobster Marsh Colliery, in the parish of Mells, by which one man was killed, and five others very much burned; but it is hoped that these may a ll b e res t or ed. It is uncertain how the accident occurred, but it is supposed that one of the safety lamps was not properly secured.— Wiltshire In dependent. 21.1,4. p. sh , 31.:w.

TO THE COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO PROMOTE THE FORMATION OF ♦ REFUGE HARBOUR AT BRIGHTON, BY MEANS OF A FLOATING BREAKWATER. When I had the pleasure of meeting the inhabitants of Brighton, and of receiving their generous support and encouragement to proceed with the formation of au asylum for pleasure yachts, for steam-vessels crossing the Channel between this port and Dieppe, and for fish ing-smacks off this exposed coast, the object was not merely of local but of national importance ; and I felt confidence in the means which I possessed of effecting it, and in the result of the experiment. This, I assure you, did Rot arise from theory only, however cautiously analysed, but from public practical proof of success. Having obtained permission Arens the Lords of the Ad miralty, I accepted an invitation from a French company to co-operate with them in forming a harbour on an importuous line of coast ; and my plans being submitted to the Board of Engineers in that kingdom, were re ceived by them with all the attention I could have de sired. On their report a grant was voted by the Chambre des Deputes for the construction of a Floating Break water Asylum at Ciotat, in the Mediterranean. Encou raged by foreign patronage, I looked with increased certainty to home ; and, on my return to England, pro posed to make a first demonstration off Brighton, where the open character of the coast would afford the severest test of my invention. With pardonable pride, I trust, I am this day enabled to state that I have completed the mooring of my sec tions, in a manner that has elicited the approbation of competent judges, who did me the honour to become my witnesses also—the buoyancy imparted by the introduc tion of cork, added to the control exercised over the oscillation of the sections by perpendicular bridle moorings passing up through the keel, preserving a uniformity of motion which is highly desirable. The perfect shelter obtained under the lee of the breakwater, while it forms a striking contrast to the angry surface windward, has excited the surprise of many nautical and scientific men, from the completeness of the victory which is obtained over the agitation of the waters. This effect is so perfect, that I am now preparing to form a lantern, with an apartment for two attendants, on board one of the sections. The necessity for a floating breakwater at Brighton arises from the mode in which the shingle travels up the channel, one of the inevitable consequences of which would he a deposit so great as to fill up any basin that eould be formed here by a fixed and solid pier. Such a result cannot attend the asylum I have enclosed for ship ping oft a coast hitherto inhospitable. The most sanguine parties of this favourite, this royal watering place could never have anticipated a grewc r boon for Brighton than the f irmetien of a harbour, n so much adapted, pro bably. for commercial purposes ns for the promotion of continental intercourse ; and I have the satisfacion to know that many vested interests con,;. cte.t with this laree and fashionable town are Lilly c nnr clot s o! sties. ad -ant ages. it may, perhaps, be bardiy necessary to expatiate here on the superiority in many respects of floating over fixed breakwaters ; but the novelty of the design may be beaded as an apology for a few remarks. My system of moorings, which is simple and effectual, may be carried into effect at all seasons of the year, and com pleted within a few months. Estimates for fixed break waters cannot he relied on, because a part of the work is often destroyed by the violence of the waves before the whole is completed—the sea undoing in the hue, icane what the ingenuity of man had done during the calm. The moorings and sections of the Brighton Breakwater were laid down during the short dark days of December by means of a billy-buoy of 50 tons lowering over her side the centre ring and connecting chains, about 10 tons weight, without the occurrence of any accident, and with the assistance of only ten hands, some of whom were landsmen. A more remarkable instance of great effects from small causes can hardly be produced, than the formation of a safe asylum for shipping constructed off a bold and bleak coast, by the simple, inexpensive, and expeditious means which I have employed in giving a harbour to Brighton. And now, Gentlemen, I have the happiness to be able to tell you that the British standard, in conjunction with the arms of the town of Brighton, were this day dis played on the breakwater, and hailed by three hearty cheers. In this enthusiastic demonstration, as well as in the towing of the sections from Shoreham to their stations, we received the most valuable assistance from the crew of her Majesty's steamer African, which was most kindly placed at my disposal for that service by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty.—l am, Gentle men, your obedient servant, &c., J. N. TAYLER, Captain R.N., C.B. Her Majesty's steamer African, Off Brighton, Dec. 24, 1844. P.S.—For the information of all who are concerned in the shipping interest, as well as all vessels bound to Shoreham Harbour, this is to give notice, that the float ing breakwater has been placed within the line of bearing of the Jenny Ground Rocks—Shoreham New Church within the Pier-head bearing N.W. by N.—Kemp Town Church on with the middle of Brighton Pier—Blacthing ton Windmill on with Fisher Turnpike-gate louse, bearing N.B. by N., about one mile from the shore. — Brighton Gazette. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. - - -- • - PORTSMOUTII,FRIDAY.—The works of the new steam basin in this dockyard are rapidly peogressing, and are expected to be completed for laying the foundation-stone on or about the 14th, when, we believe, it is the inten tion of the contractors to celebrate the event by giving a banquet upon the spot to 500 of the artisans employed in the yard, to which the Lords of the Admiralty and the chief officers of the various departments at the port will be invited. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, it is expected, will lay the foundation-stone, and preside at the banquet„ The St. Vincent, 120, in dock, and nearly stripped to her keel, is found to require more repairs than was anti cipated, from the length of time she has been afloat without a refit. The Ringdove, 16, Commander Sir W. Daniell, was at St. Helena on the 10th of November, up to which date private letters state she had captured no prizes. The Aid, navy-lighter, Master-Commander Smallman, arrived yesterday with victualling stores for the Royal Clarence-yard, from the eastern depots. The Goodwill lighter sailed yesterday, with stores for the eastern yards. In Harbou r—The Victorious hulk, flag, pro tern., of Admiral Sir Charley Rowley, the Victory, the Excel lent, the Vindictive, the Lily, the Sparrow ketch, the Nautilus, Portsmouth, and Fanny tenders, Aid lighter, and the steam-vessels Locust, Comet, Fearless, Dwarf. In Dock—The St. Vincent, 120, refitting; the Prince Regent, razeeing; Vengeance, Victoria and Albert, and the Athol troop ship, fitting for surveying service. In the Basin—The Britannia, 120, being stored as an advance ship, and made in every way ready for the pendant; the Neptune, 120, ditto; the Magicienne, 44, being got ready for the pendant; and the Echo, steamer, repairing damages. At Spithead—No man-of-war. The wind, at sunset this evening, shifted from the N.N.E. to W.S.W., at which point it seemed inclined to continue steady. This favourable circumstance will enable the wind-bound vessels in the Channel to proceed on their way, and will, doubtless, bring up some of the ships which have so long been expected from foreign stations. DEFONPORT.—So many pendants flying at this port (about a score) make this place exceedingly gay and animated—especially at so festive a period; we are only sorry that so many outbursts of vindictive feeling should have been manifested between the soldiers and sailors as have occurred publicly of late to disturb the peace and tranquillity of the inhabitants. We trust, however, to hear no more of such disturbances as those of last week. The Albion, 90, Captain Lockyer, has had her com plement of men and officers reduced by 100. Both officers and seamen have been distributed among the other ships fitting out. A large amount of silver coin has been shipped on board the Cruiser, 16, Commander Fanshawe, and the Osprey, 12, Commander Patten, for conveyance to Hong-Kong. The Firebrand steam-frigate, Captain Hope, is to proceed to the Rio Plata, taking out Mr. Gore Ouseley, the recently-appointed Minister to the Argentine Re public. - The Cruiser, 16, Commander Fanshawe, left the har. bour and anchored in the Sound on Monday. The Persian, 16, Commander Coryton W:l3 towed out of do c k N o . 5, on Saturday, and the Zcorn, 16, Com mander Bingham, floated' in the same tide, and un docked again on Monday, when the Espiegie, 12, Com mander Thompson, was taken in to have her false keel deepened. The T Daring, 12, Commander Matson ; the Espiegle, 12 , Commander Thompson ; and the Flying Fish, 12, Commander Harris, we are informed, will make another experimental trial of their respective sailing qualities in the spring., The Mercury tender arrived on Monday with super numeraries for the ships i❑ commission here from Ports mouth. The Adventure, navy transport, Master-Commander N. Boskilly, sailed on Tuesday with stores for Cork. In Harbour—The Caledonia, 120, flag-ship, San Josef Superb, Albion, Action, Persian, Racehorse, Cruiser, Daring, Espiegle, Flying Fish, Osprey, Acorn, Panta loon, Waterwitch, Mutine, Firebrand steam-frigate, the Sylph, Mercury, Netley, and Snipe tenders, and the Ro chester, Devon, Falmouth, Tortoise, Hamoaze, and Camel navy lighters. In the Sound—The Cruiser and Dordrecht (Dutch). SMEERNESS, JAN. 3. —The Trafalgar, 120, is rapidly fitting in the basin for the flag of the Commander-in- Chief, Sir J. C. White. The Queen, 110, the present flag-ship, has discharged all her stores, and her crew will be hulked in a day or two, when she will be towed to Chatham for alteration. The Amazon, razee corvette, 26, Captain Stopford, was towed out of the basin on Monday into the harbour; which she will shortly leave for Spithead, where she will be paid advance wages—an act of gross injustice to this port, at which most of her crews have contracted liabilities, more or less, which is the case at every other port under similar circumstances—a fact which ought to plead for itself in the eyes of the Lords of the Admiralty. The Howe, 120, having been completed as an advance ship, was towed to her former moorings up the harbour on Tuesday. The Raven and Skylark cutters were both re-commis• sioned last week by their former officers. In the Harbour—The Queen, 110, flag-ship; Ocean, Amazon, Raven, and Skylark, cutters; and the African steam-vessel. In Dock—The Hercules, Brilliant, Crocodile, and Spy. In the Basin—The Trafalgar, Herald, and Vulture, first-class steamer. The Rolla, 10 guns, was commissioned on the 28th ult. by Commander J. Simpson; her masts were put on board on Monday last, she was then taken alongside the Anchor-wharf for rigging; they commenced this duty yesterday; one sergeant, one corporal, and ten privates joined this ship this afternoon from the head-quarters at Chatham. The Eagle, 50 guns, Captain G. B. Martin, is still in dock—she is completed, and is waiting for the spring tides to be put out of dock. The Comus, 20 guns, Commander Thompson, is in dock fitting for sea, and will be put out of dock u soon as the tides will permit ; one sergeant, one corporal, and 17 privates of the Royal Marines have joined this vessel. The Fantome, 16 guns, Commander Sir F. Nicholson, is fitting for sea—the riggers are progressing fast with her ; she will soon be out of the dockyard—one ser geant, one corporal, and 17 privates of the Marines have joined her. Mr. A. A. Speed, Admiralty-clerk of the Ocean, 15 appointed to be clerk in charge of the Rolla ; Mr. Tribe is appointed Admiralty-clerk to the Ocean, vice Speed ; and Mr. H. Batten is appointed assistant-clerk to the Comus. This afternoon the following parties of the Royal Marines left the divisional head-quarters, Chatham, for Sheerness, to joie the respective ships at that port For the Queen, 32 privates, one sergeant, and one cor poral, under the command of Lieutenant Onslow ; for the Skylark, 4-gun brig, eight privates and one corporal ; and for the Raven cutter, of 4 guns, nine privates and oee corporal. There is some doubt that the Queen will be paid off, as was reported ; the crew is only draughted to the Trafalgar pro tern. WOOLWICH, JAN. 3. —The Rattler steam-vessel, Com mander Henry Smith, will proceed down the river on Monday next on an experimental trip, having been tem porarily fitted with a propeller upon Mr. Sunderland's plan. The machinery was set in motion in the basin yesterday. Messrs. Langlands, Mudge, and Thornton have been appointed engineers to this vessel. When the experiments are over she will be fitted with Mr. Smith's propeller. The Styx steam-vessel, Capiain Vidal, arrived on Wednesday from the Azores, and will be paid off imme diately for recommission. The Monkey steam-vessel, Second .Master Bryant, left Woolwich for Sheerness yesterday. The Lightning steam-vessel, Master-Commander Ro berts, and the Monkey steam-vessel, will convey James Spence, John Allsop, Robert Rastrick, David Bowen , Alexander Caldwell, and David Henderson, engine-fit ters, with their wives and families, to Portsmouth dock yard. . _ - Messrs. Lewthwaite, Eames, and Phillips, engineers, have been appointed to the Locust steam-vessel al Portsmouth ; Lieut. Henry Eden. Commander. Mr. M'Latchie has been appointed second engineer to the Prospero steam.vessel, and is to be borne on the hooks of the Royal Sovereign.
