THE CROPS AND THE WEATHER We have had glorious weather in this part of the country since St. Swithin's day, and there is at present more of the appearance of settled fine weather than there has been at any former time this season. Wherever the wheat crop had been beaten down it has recovered itself, and during the last two days it has begun to change its colour. Th e p resen t y ear ' s harvest cannot be an early one, but if we have a continuance of such sunshine as we had yesterday, it will not be nearly so late as was feared. The rust that showed itself on the flag leaf of the wheat plant is quite gone, and the colour is clear and bright. Altogether the Fol.), et, with re gard to this great crop, is wonderfully improved. All the other crops continue to be as beautiful and promising as ever they were known to be in the best of years, and the present fine weather will give them quaqty as well as bulk. The hay is all got in on the uplands, and by the end of the present week very little will be out, even in the water meadows. The hay crops are excellent, both in quantity and quality.—Liverpool nines. The crops are everywhere most abundant, and if the weather should improve, the yield will ectisideyab!y surpass that of any former year within our recol lection. From the same cause, the wheat crops have improved little or nothing ; and the continual recurrence of the heavy rains, by :which we have lately been visited, excites painful apprehen• aims for the result, as any failure ef the crop, added to the comparatively barren condition of the. foreign granaries, whi, h are understot.d to contain little more than a weck's consumption, would lead to most diva. trous conse quences by its effect on the Mouey Market, the railway speculations of the day, and the general demand for labour. Turnips and potatoes look ; though there is a feeling; in some quarters that the latter have got on rather too fast.—Dto ham Chronicle. St. Swithin's day passed without a drop of rain falling but the hope for fine weather indulged in by those who have 'faith in saws and proverbs does not at present seem likely to be realised, for showers fell early on Thursday morning, and the clouds threaten more rain. The crops, however, have as yet been uninjured ; although, for their safety, an early change in the weather is devoutly to be wished. The few sunny days which )save of late glad dened the farmers have enabled the hay harvest to be proceeded with, and though much remains to be cut and housed, fears for its eventual safety would now be prema ture. The grain crops are all in ear, and wheat especially promises well.— Carlisle Journal. APPLEBY.—The crops throughout this neighbourhood, both hay and corn, are heavier than they have been known for several years. The hay harvest has com menced in most place, but the unsettled state of the weather has prevented much progress being made ; meado w grass, as well as seed, turns off extremely heavy, and a few fine weeks are all that is now wanted to enable the farmers to house their abundant crops. The corn crops would also he greatly benefited thereby, as in some moist lands they are taking a little hurt from the continued wet.—Carlisle Journal. A most glorious week of harvest weather—thousands of tons of hay have been ricked in the neighbourhood of Hereford in the primest condition. The sunshine must also have had a most beneficial effect on all kinds of corn and pulse, and the ripening process must be going on so favourably and rapidly, that the corn har vest will be here in ten days or a fortnight, unless there be an unpropitious change in the weather. We have also improved reports from the hop districts. —Herefoi d Times.

CALLCOTT, R.A., and other DECEASED BRITISH ARTISTS, is OPEN daily from Ten till Six. a y magistrsts med as to Wei espectability from ()ere!: isband to On ailed from be MEETING of the SOCIETY for the ENIAN LW, CIPAT EON' of INDUSTRY was held at Exeter Hall on Tuesday, July 1, ANDREW SPOTTISWOODE, Esq., in the Chair, at which the following resolutions were moved and carried Resolveil,—Fi rst—That this Society cannot refrain from expressing its surprise and disappointment at the very unsatisfactory resolutions introduced by Lord John Russell in the House of Commons on the 26th of May, for the professed purpoge of ameliorating the condition of the working classes of the United Kingdom, arid of correcting the alarming evil for which his Lordship did not account, that while " the rich are growing richer, the Door are growing poorer ;"—and this meeting considers that no professions of sympathy for the dis tressed condition of the labouring classes can avail anything, or be satisfactory to the country at large, so long as those classes are compelled to provide for a heavy taxation on articles of consumption in a money artificially made scarce—a regulation which confers an Undue and unnatural advantage upon capital over industry. Second,—That it is the opinion of this Society that the state of actual destitution and suffering under which it is acknowledged the labouring clas-es in this kingdom are now so ,largely suffering, in the midst of superabundant wealth, and the inexhaustible means of Producing that wealth, '8 not owing to any fault of their own, nor to any express dispensation of Providence„ but is attributable to in- Judicious legislation, of which the roost striking example is - the per nicious currency law of 1819—a measure which Sir James Graham truly and emphatically denounced as a " delusion and a fraud." Third,—That the object of the currency law of 1819 and of the Monetary measures of 1844 and 1845 is to reduce the prices of pro duction to the level cf gold prices, while the object of Born laws, and of all protective laws, is to raise prices above the level of gold, in order to compensate for heavy taxation ; and thus the one object is inconsistent with, and contradictory to, the other.—That it is the intention of the Legislature, in levying taxes on commodities, tcssecure that those taxes should be paid by the consumers generally In a rise of prices ; but the effect of the monetary measures before re ferred to is to prevent a rise of prices, and thus to defeat that inten tion. —That by these means a grievous wrong is inflicted on the pro ducing classes, the effects of which are observable in the wide-spread Pauperism described by Sir James Graham as already amounting in England to full one-tenth of the population, and in the alarming de pression of the prices of agricultural produce, in consequence of which the wages of the labourer are reonced to their present low and insuffi cient rate. Fourth,—That this Society contends that the high scale of indirect taxation in this country demands a corresponding scale of prices both of labour and of the produce of labour ; and that such scale of prices is incompatible with the present low fixed price of gold, which has the effect, not only of throwing upon the producers the burden of that taxation which ought to be paid by the consumers, but of perni ciously restricting the circulating medium of the country, by making It dependent on the quantity of gold in the Bank of England. Fifth,—That if gold were allowed to find its market price in the currency of the country, like all other commodities, and In obedience to the law of supply and demand, prices in the home trade would Ilse to a remunerating level, without affecting the prices of our foreign trade, which are now, and always must be, regulated by the Market price of gold. That competition would prevent home prices from rising in such a circulating medium beyond the level that indi rect taxation justified ; a level below which it is as unjust to the pro ducer as It is dangerous to the public creditor to reduce them.—That the Government money (or Exchequer-bills) now issued for taxes in a shape and in amounts exclusively useful to the mottled class, should be issued in amounts convenient for all classes—namely, in notes of one pound and upwards; that these notes being necessarily confined Within the amount of annual taxation, would be founded on and re present that property which the Government annually draws from the people in taxes, and would form the legal-tender money of the nation.—That labour would then receive its fair and reasonable re ward, while the commerce and industry of the country would be freed from their present unnecessary and injurious dependence upon f oreign exchanges. Sixth,—That this Society views with horror the monstrous doc trine attributed to Sir Robert Peel in the debate on Mr. Villiers's ?notion upon the 10th of June, that the increasing impoverishment of the industrious classes is without remedy; that "great wealth ,being found side by side with great poverty" is "inseparable from ,civilisation, and that civilisation in itself increases the tendency in -a country towards them,"—a doctrine which would consign a large • Portion of our countrymen to irremediable poverty. That this Society is prepared to prove before a Committee of either House of Parliament that such a social anomaly is mainly attributable to mis taken views of the nature and uses of money, and of the laws governing the distribution of wealth ; and they cannot but ascribe it to the deepest and most deplorable delusion, that in the recent dis cussions on the subject of the Corn-laws and Banking, the National Debt and Taxation, which fbrm essential elements in both questions, have been studi usly excluded. S eventh,—That petitions, representing the substance of the rm.- .utions of this meeting, and praying for legislative inquiry into the • effect of currency on prices, and on the wages of labour, be now Prepared and signed by the Chairman of the Society, and be presented to the House of Lords and the House of Commons ; and that the _._ -Pro visional Committee formed for the convening of this meeting be . .teuested to place the petitions in suitable hands for presemation and suPPort, • (3,REAT NORTH of ENGLAND RAILWAY.

HOOTING.—The Heather-coloured JACKET of Llama Wool retains the principles of Shape given in Nicoll's Registered Paletot.

STIRLINGSHIRE.—St. Swithin's day has come and passed away in drought, and therefore the farmer may now rub his hands, or fold them upon his breast, or thrust them into his breeches pocket, or, in short, do anything with them he likes but work, for the next pis weeks ; for as we say in Scotland, "his bread is baker" till that time. The sun will do all that now remains till the 27th Aug. We had showers till Sabbath evening, after which the weather- cleared up, and the other three days of the week have been most delightful, promoting alike vege tation, the blooming of the wheat, and the carting home of the hay crop, much of which is now safely housed, and a better crop there has not been in this quarter in general for many years, with an excellent promise for the aftermath.—Stirliny Observer.

The Railway for which this Company has obtained a concession, will join the main Belgian line from Charleroi to Namur and Liege, at some point near or between the two former towns, and will run through the whole province of Luxembourg, in the Direction of Dinant, Neufchateau, and Arlon, to Luxembourg, with an extension to Thionville and Metz, at which latter city it will join the Paris and Strasbourg Railway. The whole will be about 140 miles in length. It will thus unite all the Belgian railways with those of France ; and if the direction of the various great lines in those two countries, from Belgium to Lille, Valenciennes, Dunkirk, and Calais be examined, it will be seen that the Luxembourg Railway will thus form by far the shortest, and, consequently, the quickest and cheapest route from those countries, and from England to Metz, Strasbourg, Rhenish Prussia, the Rhine (South), Baden, Wurtemburg, and the ether im portant districts of the North-East and East of France, and of the South of Germany, and also to the Eastern parts of Switzerland and Italy.

Looking next to the south, a railway is to be made (as a branch to the Paris and Strasbourg Railway) from Metz to the extensive coal-field at Sarrebruck, and another is projected to Manheim, on the Rhine. At Thionville and Metz, the Luxembourg line will meet the large passenger and goods traffic on the Moselle, to and from the Rhine at Coblentz, which the establish ment of steamers on the Moselle, is daily and rapidly increasing. Much of the great transit trade now going by the Rhine through Holland is also likely to take this route through Antwerp or Calais, in consequence of the g rest difficulty, delay, and expense of ascending the Rhine between Strasbourgh and Bale. There is likewise a considerable local traffic in passengers and goods in the districts through which the railway will pass, and nu merous fairs are held there. They abound in timber, corn, wine, mines of every description—iron, copper, lead, manganese, antimony, &c.; rock-salt, limestone, plaster, slate quarries (which supply the whole province, and export to a large extent to other countries)—and they contain numerous tanneries, salt-works, and all the smelting and other establishments to which mineral productions give rise. There are 28 blast-furnaces in the province of Namur, and 41 in that of Luxembourg, which all draw iron-ore from the Luxembourg mines. Besides the local consumption of iron, about 70,000 tons are annually exported. On the other hand, Luxembourg imports from Belgium large quantities of glass, manufactured goods, colonial produce, spirits, zinc; marble, and building-stone, coal, &c. The importation of coal from the Belgian coal-field, at the north end of the line, and from Sarrebruck, at its southern extremity, would increase to a very large extent, both for fuel and for burning lime, smelting ore, and other manufacturing purposes, as soon as an improved means of conveyance is introduced, instead of the present slow and expensive one of carting, which keeps that article at a high price. One part of these districts contains fine limestone, while the other wants it ; and the slates would find a largely increased 'sale in Belgium, Holland, and France. The wealth, fertility, and population of the department of the Moselle, in which the southern terminus of this railway will be situated, are too well known to need comment. In 1828 a powerful Belgian and Dutch Company, called the " Societe du Luxembourg," undertook to carry out the great national objects-Ist, ofuniting the rivers Meuse and Moselle, and of thus af fording a perfect and continuous means of communication through the whole length of the province of Luxembom g, by completing the line of navigation from the Meuse at Liege to the Moselle, near Lux embourg and Treves ; and 2dly, of bringing into active production the great mineral wealth of this province, which .had remained dor mant for want of proper means of conveyance. For these purposes the Luxembourg Company was endowed with a perpetual grant and almost unlimited powers. In accordance with this project, the Com pany commenced operations at the Liege end, and proceeded with great vigour and success, until all was stopped by the Belgian revolution of IS3O. National jealousy or other circumstances have since prevented the resumption of the scheme. The river Ourthe,,which flows into the Meuse, and was the commencement of the proposed line of navigation, had, however, been considerably im proved by the Company, and an important local traffic, amounting io about 70,000 tons perannum,is . now established there, from which the Luxembourg Company has derived a handsome and increasing return for the money expended. This Company had also obtained the grant of three valuable mining localities, previous to the revolution of 1830; namely, the grant of the lead, copper, and iron mines .at Durbity, of the lead mines of Maizeret, and of the manga nese Mines of' Bihain. Several other grants had been applied for, and were pending, but the matter has since remained in abeyance from the circumstances already mentioned.' The 'grant of Durbuy extends over seven parishes, and 19,308 statute acres; 24,000 tons of iron ore had already been extracted previous to 1830, and about as much iron in 1839 and 1840, when the works were resumed. In 1842 these mines were let for twenty years to another company, who undertook to produce at least 1000 cubic yards of rough Ore per annum, and who are actively working the mines. The Luxembourg Company receives a royalty or farm-rent of the tenth of the produce. The grant of the Maizeret lead mines extends over 630 acres. From the result of the borings and excavations made, these mines are con sidered very valuable, and they have the advantage of being close to the Meuse river and to the high-road from Namur to Liege. The concession of Biliain extends over 1614 acres, and promises to be come one of great value ; 600 tons of manganese had already been extracted when the works had to be suspended in 1830. The com pany had also already expl red several valuable mining localities, pro. clueing baryte,(from one of which mines 530 tons were extracted,l rock salt, antimony, lead, copper, iron, and other minerals, of which it had applied for grants under the powers and intent of its charter. A large number of quarries were likewise opened by the Company, and continue to be worked. It possesses property in Brussels, including a large mansion and premises, where its offices are situated. In order to become possessed of the extensive powers granted to the Luxembourg Company, and thus to obtain the entire command of the intercourse and mining property in that province and the ad joining districts, this Company will have to purchase the shares and rights of the Company above-mentioned, including of course the canal, mines, and all its other property, interests arid privileges, for the sum of 260,0001. As the railway will effect the purposes of con." veyance and communication through Luxembourg, for which the canal was projected, it is now intended (and it is in accordance with the charter) to complete the line of navigation only from the Meuse at Liege to La Roche; ofwhich the estimated cost is under 400,0001. ; by this means the railway and navigation cannot clash, as they will start from and run through quite different districts. It will be reserved for future consideration whether the canal shall eventually be joined to the railway by a branch canal or railway from La Roche, or whether it shall be continued in any other direction. In the meantime the local traffic alone will be sufficient to produce a hand some return on the capital to be invested, it being estimated upon a careful and moderate calculation to yield a net profit of about eight par cent. on the capital required. It may not be generally known that the Belgian canals give a net profit of from six to fourteen per cent., and the Charleroi and Brussels Canal, which was conceded to a company in 1826, is paying ten and a half per cent. on the capital. In addition to the great mineral traffic above described, the canal will cross several extensive forests; whence large quantities of tim ber and wood will be sent for ship and house-building, fuel, and other purposes, for which it is constantly in great demand. The concession of the railway is already obtained • from the Go vernment, for a lease of ninety years from the date of its completion. The other conditions are equally favourable. The tariff is about thirty per cent. higher for passenger.; than that of the Belgian railways, being about the same, both for passengers and goods as that of France, while it is much more advantageous in many other respects. . The Government is to give, without charge, all the land required for the railway, wherever it crosses the crown lands, and it is to use its authority and influence to induce parishes and individuals to do the same. No government or other tax or duty is ever to be im posed upon the railway, nor is any rival line to be allowed to start from the Belgian railways in the direction of this one through Luxembourg, for at least twelve years. The " concessionaires," or lessees of this railway, or their representatives are to have the pre ference of all branch lines which may hereafter be proposed in con . - nexion with it. •• ' • . The cost of construction is expec'ed to be considerably under the average of the Belgian lines, the best proof of which is. to be found in the circumstance that the Government engages to release the lessees, to return them the caution money, and to pay them for th e i r ex . _ . . penses of surveys, &c., if the estimate of cost now being made by the Government engineers should exceed the average cost of 800,000 francs per Belgian league (about 10,000/. per English mile), for a single line of rails, but with the land, earth-works, and masonry for a double line. The working of the railway is also likely to be very cheap, to which a coal-field at each end of it, and the consequently low price of coke, will much contribute. From all the circumstances already stated, and careful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of railway will yield a very handsome return upon the capital required. In the allotment, due consideration will be shown proprietors of shares in the adjoining undertakings of the Sambre and Meuse, Lou vain and Jemappe, and Namur and Liege Railway Companies.

DUBLIN, JULY 21.—A project of very considerable import ance was brought before Sir Robert Peel on Saturday last, by an Irish deputation, who sought the a id o f G overnment i n car rying into eff ec t the recommendations of the Drainage Com mission for connecting the river Shannon with Lough Erne, and thus uniting, by inland navigation, the provinces of Munster and Ulster. It is stated that this arrangement would afford facilities for the drainage of not less than four millions of acres. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The weekly meeting of the Association was held this day, William Magennis, Esq., in the chair. Mr. O'Coiszsera. acknowledged the receipt of 12/. from New York, and read a letter accompanying the remittance, which animadverted on certain expressions uttered by Mr, O'Connell on a late occasion, to the effect that if England rendered justice to Ireland, she might calculate on the assistance of Irishmen in enabling her "to humble the proud eagle of America." What he (Mr. O'Connell) said on the occasion referred to was, that it England did render justice, full and ample justice, to Ireland, she would be in such a position, through the co-operation of Irishmen, as to defy all the nations of civilized Europe, and would be even able to pull down the flag of America itself. Such was the sentiment he uttered, hnd he believed such was the sentiment of Ireland also. It was in consequence of the blustering of Mr. Polk with regard to the Oregon territory, a blustering which had since ceased, that he had been drawn into the observations com plained of. Mr. Polk evidently calculated on a di version in his favour in Ireland, should a rupture take place between England and America. Having expressed the gratification he felt at the opportunity afforded him of ex plaining, he moved the insertion of the letter on the minutes, and the thanks of the association to the writer. Mr. O'CowieEra. again rose, and said as that was the last op portunity he should have for some time of addressing the associa tion, he considered it advisable to lay the present state of Ireland before the public. He wished it to be understood that he did not intend to be idle; on the contrary, h e h a d cu t ou t a cons id era bl e quantity of work for himself, which would occupy him during his sojourn in the country. Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, her Majesty's Solicitor-General, in his late address to the electors of Cam bridge, had stated that agitation and agrarian disturbances had ceased in Ireland; but, as a proof of his accuracy in the affairs of Ireland, he had to state, that he expected to have the pleasure of addressing 150,000 men of the county Wexford on the next Wednesday, and an equal number in Galway during the ensuing week. That was no sign that the agitation was subsiding ; and lest the Govern ment should forget that there were such people as the Irish, it was determined upon to hold two monster meetings during each month.—( Cheers.) The ministry had certainly altered their tone with regard to Ireland, and Sir James Graham had retracted his expression " that concession to Ireland had reached its limits," but he would never rest satisfied till Ireland was placed on a footing of perfect equality with England. The country, he regretted to say it, was not in such a state of tranquillity as could be desired. Prtedial disturbance was rife in many coun ties. In fact, the country was not in such a state for twenty years past. Fermanagh was disturbed, but he could not even guess at the reason, as it was blessed with a large number of most excellent landlords, but nevertheless the "Molly alaguires " were busy in circulating their notices. That the country was disturbed there could be no question, and was it not melancholy to have her Majesty's Solicitor-General coming forward and stating deliberately that peace, order, and obedi ence to the law existed ? Yes, Mr. Fitzroy Kelly asserted that agitation had ceased in Ireland, and that tranquillity reigned. Whilst he gave the Government credit for their good wishes towards this country, he would ask, how far had the. pro mises held out in the Queen's speech, at the opening of the session, with regard to Ireland bteh fulfilled ? Ihb Maynooth Bill had certainly been passed, but that measure was more valuable in its collateral nature than for the endowment w hich .it conferred. The discussions which it gave rise to plainly showed the innate hatred of the English people to she re ligion of the people of this country. The Colleges 11111 he might look upon as passed, and were they to consider that measure as a boon which the Catholic prelates had pronounced to be dangerous to faith and morals ? It had been asserted that the opposition to this Bill would be moderated, but he was in a position to be able to state that the opinions of the Bishops with regard to it were un changed, and would continue so. It was reasonably ex pected that some alteration would have been made in the Charitable Bequests Act during the present session, but the answer of Sir James Graham to the question proposed by Lord Arundel, in the House of Commons on Friday night, has completely dissipated all hopes of amelioration. The Catholic Bishops, who had supported that measure solely on the ground that the amendments they suggested would be introduced, had remonstrated with the Govern ment on the treachery that had been practised upon them, but the answer to their remonstrances was, that the best con sideration of the Government would be directed to the points suggested ; but their best consideration just meant no con sideration at all. After referring to a variety of topics having reference to the future mode of carrying on the agitation, Mr. O'Connell concluded by giving notice of his intention to prepare and put in form, during his sojou rn i n the country, the followi ng Bill s, with a view to their' adop tion by the British Legislature, and that each member of Parliament should be furnished with copies of them fully six weeks before the commencement of the next session : I. An Act to enable her most gracious Majesty to exercise without delay her undoubted prerogative to summon her Par liament of Ireland, to contain clauses declaratory— I. Of her Majesty's power and authority to issue writs , of summons to all the Peers of Ireland, and writs for the election of Members of the House of Commons of Ireland, not to ex ceed the ancient number of 300. 2.

An Act to establish in perpetuity the perfect equality in the eye of the law of persons of all Christian persuasions, and to prevent for ever the existence in Ireland of any legal or temporal ascendancy, to contain clauses declaratory— !. Of this Act being the basis of the repeal of the Union, and expressive of the solemn compact made with and between all the people of Ireland, in the awful presence of God, that persons of all Christian persuasions shall be and for ever con tinue on an entire and complete equality, legal and political. 2. Prohibitory of the Irish Parliament making or having authority or power to make any law, penal or restrictive, on the score of religion. 3. Prohibitory of the Irish Parliament to endow, as a State church. any particular church, sect, or persuasion. 4.

VII. An Act to take away from the landlords all powers of distraint or ejectment for non-payment of rent, unless the land be held under lease for a term of at least 21 years. VIII.

Paynter, the sitting magistrate, charged with having stolen a large bow and arrows and three copper-plate engravings. Henry Spicer deposed that he was a broker, and lived in the Marlborough-road, Chelsea. On the previous day, about five o'clock, he went to the house occupied by the prisoners, No. 4, Canning-place, Kensington New Town, and put in a dis tress for rent, amounting to 101. Having made the levy, just as witness was finishing the inventory, he saw the prisoner Keep throw a bow and arrows and three engravings out of the window into the garden, and the prisoner Woone instantly ran out of the house and conveyed them away. By Mr. l'aynter—There was not enough property to pay the rent. The prisoners had been in the house nearly two years, and they had paid no rent except what had been ob tained by seizing. Latterly they had turned the house into a playhouse, and had distributed printed bills and cards, announcing " A novel and original entertai n m en t. Li ve l y Jack of Kensington will, by the particular desire of his friends, give a short outline of the life and adventures of his own beautiful self, and the battles, sieges, fortune that he's passed, &c." On the cards was pi inted, " Lively J ac k' s en trance card. Admit hi s worthy friend. Nut to be lost." The witness then produced two of the windows of the house, on one of which was written, in large white lett ers , " M angling done," and on the other, " Law taught in six lessons," and underneath, "Meddling neighbours and arbitrary landlords taught a lesson gratis." Also a large bill, on which was written " Whereas some evil disposed person has circulated a report that it is Jack's intention to leave this Castle. This is to give notice that he means sticking here to the last moment the law allows him.—Witness Jack's hand.—Cow Castle, 21st June." Inspector Smith said the whole neighbourhood was in a state of disturbance through the prisoners' proceedings, and bad been so for some time. When he got there, on the previous night, there were from 400 to 500 persons collected, and he and a large party of his men were there till two o'clock in the morning. _ _ Mr. Paynter expressed his surprise that the parish did not indict the prisoners. InspectOr Smith was then sworn, and deposed that on the previous night he was present in Canning-place from ten to after one o'clock. The prisoners were inside the house, and were admitting into it the lowest of the low. Heard the prisoner Keep haranguing the mob to excite them. He asked them if the way in which he was being seized was either law or equity, and he asked them to put down a penny a piece to buy barley water, otherwise porter, and saying he would put down a shilling himself. A deal of drink was taken into the house in that way. A system of annoyance to the neigh bourhood had been going on for some time, a Chinese gong being sounded all night, repeated complaints of which had been made to the commissioners of police and to the magis trates. Mr. Samuel Kettle, of No. 3, Victoria-grove, deposed that he was the father-in-law of Mr. inderwick, the pro prietor of the estate. John Keep, the prisoner, was the tenant of the house in question, and had been in possession about a year and a half. The present nuisance had begun about Lady-day last, when the first seizure was made. He had seen the prisoners running about the house in a state of nudity, which appeared to be done for the purpose of ex citing the attention of the public passing the house. At times they stood at the windows in grotesque dresses, with painted faces, all which have drawn great crowds round the house, and occasioned much disturbance. At night they have blown bullock's horns, and on Sundays the prisoners sat out of the windows smoking short pipes, and their legs painted, and dangling out. Captain Reece said he was also a neighbour. He had not long lived there, but although he had been to all parts of the world, he had never heard such a riot and disturbance as had the whole time been kept up by the prisoners. On Sunday he had seen the prisoner Keep in the front garden with a woman's bonnet on, and the other parts of his dress of a moat grotesque prisonershu ng up repeated that no description. Crowds were thereby daily collected about the a h n o :K u wi s er e e.ep a pto m a ongst whom he had heard language female could hear without a blush. His lady was afraid to go images being t e out for fear of being insulted. and their companions were to the neighbourhood. outside Other the witnesses house, nd t theto generalstuffed nuisance Mr. Paynter asked the prisoners what they had to say in e ag re ai t n li s s t ch th a e rg in e: from the felony. begged to be informed in what position they stood. Were they to answer the charge of felony, or only the nuisance? They had, however, two charges to answer. The first one y th n e te e r vi s d a e id nee th g e l y ve w n was by the police—a charge of riot and disturbance ; and, se condly, by Captain Reece, that his wife could not go out with•. had l ar e tte, r gon e out danger to her person. The prisoner Keep then entered into a lengthened state mtivecnity i t n leil l iert r ha t t o durin g ab w ou h t ich the he h m ou o s s e t in a state of nudity, saying he should have been unworthy the name of a man had he done so, as he had his own wife and other females in the house. On the previous day the broker, Spicer, accompanied by four men, three of whom were prize fighters, broke into the house, and carried away everything that, they could find, even to his wife's under linen, and that after that they seized hold of him and tried forcibly to tur them out of the house, slid it was his screams of murder at that time which occasioned the crowd and the police to as semble. They had also, since he had been in custody, attacked. his wife, and she would have been murdered had not a police man got in at a window and protected her, but that would form matter for after proceedings. Mr. Paynter said he should call on the prisoners to enter into their own recognisances in 20/. to appear as the sessions to answer any charge that may be preferred against them, and in another 20/. each for their future good behaviour. The prisoners entered into the required recognisances, and on being asked how they described themselves, replied, " Gen tlemen ; we always have been and will continue so." On the return of the prisoners to Canning-place they were received by the large crowd which had been collected in front of the premises throughout the day by three tremendous cheers. It is generally reported that the Earl of Lonsdale w illretire from► the office of Postmaster-Gip neral immediately after the prorogation of Parliament.
