LA W INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Noy. 6. ROBERTS V. MADDOX.-JUDOMENT. The Loin CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this ease, which was heard before his Lordship some considerable time since, upon an appeal motion from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England refusing to dissolve an injunc tion. His Lordship was of opinion that the Court below had some to a correct conclusion, and ordered the judgment to-be affarrned. MILLER V. CRAIG. The further argumentss — in thiS ---- part-heard case were re sumed to-day, and occupied his Lordship until the rising of the Court, shortly before two o'clock. liis Lordship rose at this early hour for the purpose of at tending a Cabinet Council. ROLL'S COURT, Nov. 6. LONG V. BUN'NF.Y. This was a petition in which the plaintiff, Ann Elizabeth Long, a, minor, by means of her friends , sought to impugn It decision found before the Master. From the facts of the case it appeared that the plaintiff was the illegitimate child of a gentleman named Gilmore, who died in 1842, bequeath ing her a sum of money equivalent to 100/. per annum, as well as other property. The widow of the testator having contessed the validity of the will, one of the trustees of the petitioner tiled a bill in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, and the defendant was appointed her guardian, thus setting aside, to a certain extent, the will of the plaintiff's father, which nominated a female, Mary Pointer, to the guardianship of the petitioner during her minority. The grounds on which the Vice-Chancellor had made this order were, that the mother of the petitioner was an illiterate person, and that Mary Pointer was not qualified to supply her place, or superintend the education of plaintiff. The petition contended that Bunney had an interest adverse to that of the petitioner, being one of the executors of the will ; and having sold some of the timber on the property, which belonged to the plaintiff; and granted leases incurious to her interests, consequently was entitled to be the pint) , at whose suit proceedings should be instituted. The arguments in this case occupied the whole day, and his Lordship expressed his determination to delay giving his judgment, in crder to give the case full deliberation. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Nov. 6. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England took pleas and demurrers to-day. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir KNIGHT BRUCE.) IN THE MATTER OF PHILLIPS' CHARITY. This case came before the Court upon a petition under Sir Samuel Romillv's Act, presented by James Newman, the schoolmaster of a charity school, founded by a gentleman named Phillips, for the education of the poor at Sutton St. Mary, Long Sutton, in Lincolnshire, and the object of the petition was, that the petitioner might be restored to his office, and that the trustees, who hid, as he contended, wrongfully ejected him, might be removed. Mr. J. Russell and Mr. G. L. Russell appeared on behalf of the petitioner ; and Mr. Cooper, Mr. Swainston, and Mr. Bilton were Counsel for the trustees and the other parties who opposed the petition. As the affidavits on both sides contain serious charges, and as the case appears likely to occupy several days, we decline entering into the facts and charges at greater length until the Court shall have given its judgment. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nom 6. HARDCASTLE V. WALKER. It appeared by the statement of Counsel, that this was an action of replevin, tried at the last York Assizes before Mr. Justice Cresawell, and verdict had for the plaintiff. Appli• cation was now made for a rule to show cause why the ver dict should not be set aside and a new trial granted, on the grounds of rejection of admissible evidence, and also of mis direction to the jury. The defendants were trustees under a marriage settlement for the plaintiff. The question that arose was one of non-tenure. Some houses had been built upon certain property belonging to plaintiff's wife and son. After her marriage the husband and wife went to live in one of those houses, but they separated soon after, and defendant put a distress on the house for the rent. The quest ion was, could a document which had been signed by the wife, autho rising the defendant to demand the rent, be deemed a suffi cient authority.—Rule refused. DOE, ON THE DEMISE OF RENTON, V. INNOCENT. This case had been tried at the last Nottingham assizes, before Mr. Justice Mauls, when a verdict was had for the defendant. An application was made for a new trial, on the ground that one of the defendants was the foreman of the jury, and two others of the defendants were in the jury box, and remained there after they had been ordered to leave. —Rule to show cause granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 6. (Sittings in Banco.) BARROW V. MT. This was a motion for a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial of the above cause, on the ground that the verdict, which was for the defendant, was against the evidence. Mr. Sergeant BITES stated the naturs of the evidence in the case, which was tried before the Under• Sheriff of Mid dlesex. It appeared that the plaintiff was a coal owner at Rugby, and the defendant a coal dealer, owning a wharf at Paddington, and keeping a canal barge, which he used for the purposes of his trade, employing a man named Marlowe as captain. The agent of the plaintiff; a man named Bailey, who was the principal witness on the part of the plaintiff, sold, in the course of May last, a boat load of coals to Mar lowe, the captain of the defendant's boat, it being agreed that Marlowe, on the part of his employer, should pay the plain tiff's agent in London. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE asked what proof had been offered that the defendant authorised the purchase of the coals? Mr. Sergeant BYLES read a part of the evidence of the witness Bailey, from which it appeared that the defendant said to him, " I have given Marlowe the money to pay you for the coals, and I wish it to be settled immediately," to which he replied that " according to the agreement it must 'be paid to Mr. Barrow's agent in London." The agent, a person of the name of Moore, had been ex amined, and had proved that he made several applications for payment to Marlowe and to Jupp, ;the latter always saying that he would settle it AS soon as he got the money from Timoth,y. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Is that Marlowe ? Mr. Sergeant BYLES-•-lt is not very clear who Timothy is, but I should not think it was Marlowe, seeing that his name is Anthony.—(A laugh.) It might be a contraction, however.—(A laugh from Mr. Justice Erie.) Mr. Sergeant Bylea proceeded to say, that on the part of the defendant the only witness was Marlowe, who said that he did not re member writing the agreement. Upon this case the jury found a verdict for the defendant, which he (Mr. Byles) sub mitted was clearly against the evidence. After a consultation of less than a minute, the Court granted the rule. COOK V. WETHERELL. Mr. Sergeant CEIANNELL, on the part of the defendant in this case, moved for a new trial, and produced and read several affidavits in contradiction of the evidence given on the trial. The facts of the case have been before the public for some time, so that it is not necessary to repeat them here. The Learned Sergeant pointed out several inconsistencies in the evidence given on the trial, and read to the court the affidavits of several persons who, though not examined at the trial, were alluded to by the witnesses, and who now denied any knowledge of transactions in which they had been said to have taken a part. The rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial was granted. BANKRUPTCY COURT, Nov. 6. (Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.) COSTS.—An application was made to the Learned Commis sioner in the case of Jones, who was a farmer in Bucking hamshire. The odiciai assignee said that the fiat was issued on the petition of the bankrupt, and there were not sufficient assets to meet the expenses of working the fiat. In other cases, under similar circumstances, the costs of the official assignee were first secured, then the messenger, and then the solicitor to the fiat. In the present instance the trade assignee had offered the messenger a little snore than half the amount of his bill. The messenger said that his bill amounted to 71. 19s. and his actual costs out of pocket 5/. 95., and he had been offered 41., and unless he got paid but of the money in hand, he had no remedy unless the bankrupt would be enabled after he got his certificate. The Learned CoststissloNnn said lie ought to be made liable ; and no doubt, when an amendment was made to re concile the conflicting clauses, these cases would occupy attention. 'The messenger said they had their authority direct from the Court, and dared not disobey; they bad no party to make a demand on. The COMMISSIONER said—Till the law is altered the officers must be protected as far as possible, and the messenger must be paid in full. In another case, before Mr. Commissioner Shepherd, in in solvent came up for his adjourned final order. The case had been adjourned with an order to pay costs. A question arose es to which party was to pay the costs of taxation, and the costs had not been paid, and the opposing creditor and his solicitor had had notice of the present application, which they now opposed on the ground that the previous costs had not been paid. . . . For the insolvent it was urged that the tender ought to be binding. The opposing creditor said there were no assets. The Learned Commission:a said the insolvent must pay the costs under the order, the costs of taxation, and the costs of the day to the opposing creditor. SHERIFFS' COURT, Nov. 6. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL). BRADLEY V. ASHFORD. The plaintiff in this action is a widow, and until lately kept a beer-shop in Warwick -street, Golden-square. The action was brought to recover the sum of 4/. 4s. Bd. for beer, and ss. for money hut. The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted. It was proved that the defendant was in the habit of frequenting the house for three months, and being served with beer, and it was put down to him in the book. Mr. Crtoucii having addressed the jury for the defendant, The jury consulted for nearly ten minutes, and then gave a verdict for the full amount. ADIJIIRAL7r,()CRT HE T JANE.---SALVAGE This was an action brought b y the • Nov J . writers, owners, and crew of two smacks, named the Benevolence and the Friends' Goodwill, to obtain a reward for alleged rendered to the schooner Jane, of Rochester, , on her aalvage services on the voyage to that port from Middleborough, withwch,,,3iaclia,l in the 29th of May last, was off the entrance of the Thames, and early in the morning of the 30th, the blowing hard from the N.E. by N., the weather densely wind thick, with heavy rain, grounded upon the East-flat ft Barrow-sand. She was descried by the two smacks, which came up to her assistance, and eventually the schooner was h got off the sand, and carried safely to Sheerness. The negotia tions which took place between the master and the asserted /salvor3 were matter of dispute between the parties, and the subject of very contra lictory affidavits, the parties who proceeded against the vessel contending that the schooner was, in fact, abandoned by the master and crew; the owners alleging that those parties, after. their services had been declined, took advantage of the accidental absence of the master, the jolly-boat having got adrift with the master in it, and obtained possession of her, employing expressions calculated to intimidate the crew, by inspiring them with the apprehension that the vessel would be lost. The ship was arrested for 250/., the vessel, cargo, and freight being worth only 8001. Dr. LUSHINGTON was of opinion that the vessel had never bean abandoned by the master and crew; that the pretended salvors had taken possession of her without the slightest authority from the master; that the act approached as come as possible to an act of piracy as any case which had clairen I ,., a befor i e_the au consideration of the Court ; and that the ali , ,... e " n n d. eted by false swearing from the begin ninga.Prounced against the claim, and con demned the pretended, salvors in the costs. THE Messrs. G ood NtArty This was a Cuit by bottomry bond, against the and z.c Rigg, the holders of a certain parties claiming to be bri g ilort Aary A nn, and against in possession of the ship, and also against other part; claiming c l iar tg.puty, Th e enier Qt . _ es claiming under a 141 OUP 114 4 boGcliae bulk. Tll SUN, 1,0/sit:ION, tRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 7, 1845. rupt ; the ship had been sold under a decree of this Court, and the proceeds amounting to 1,0841. 10s. 6d., had been brought into the registry, as well as the freight, 670/. 168. 2d., making together 1,7551. 6s. 6d. Out of this sum wages had been paid to the amount of 3021. 3s. 4d., leaving a balance in the registry of 1,453/. 3s. 2d., subject to other claims for wages and pilotage. This amount was insufficient to dis charge the various liens upon it, consisting of the bot tomry bond, a charter-party, and a bond in vendition for 450/., executed at Yarmouth early in 1843, which had priority over the other liens. These conflicting claims in volved the case in come confusion; but the immediate ques tion resolved itself into that of the validity of the bottomry bond, which was given at Buenos Ayres, where the vessel sustained considerable damage, and the sum specified in the bond was incurred for repairs, namely, 6704, the interest stipulated in the bond being 25 per cent. In opposition to the bond, it was contended that Messrs. Dowse, at Buenos Ayres, to whom the bond had been given, had advanced the mony as consignees and agents of the owners or charterers, on the personal credit of the latter, without the contempla tion of a bottomrybond, which was an after-thought. The case was embarrassed not only by complicated accounts, but by the fact that in her long continuance abroad, from July, 1 . 841, to September, 1844, the vessel performed some inter mediate voyages, which raised a question of bottomry law hitherto undecided—namely, whether the bond was valid when it covered disbursements in such intermediate voyages. Dr. ADDAMS and Dr. Currnis were heard for the bond holders; Dr. HAGGARD and Dr. HARDING for the parties in terested in the proceeds. The reply stands over for to-morrow (this day.) POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. A young man, named David Thomas Darrell, was brought before the Lord Mayor, for final examination, charged with having plundered his employers, Messrs. Pusey and Pellatt, of No. 58, Bread-street, warehousemen, in whose employment he had been for some time. Mr. Wolfe, from Mr. Flower's office, who attended for the prosecution, stated that he considered it necessary to make a representation of the conduct of the partner of a highly respectable concern with which tha prosecutors transacted business, exceedingly prejudicial to the moral character of that partner. It had been ascertained that the prisoner had been robbing his employers, and the officer engaged in the in vestigation found in his pocket a small book, in which entries were made in the prisoner's handwriting of certain turf and other wagers with parties whose names were specified. Amongst these names was that of the partner in the house to which he had alluded, to whom the prisoner proved to be a loser. It was quite impossible that the person who, by such conduct, encouraged the destructive vice of gambling, could have been ignorant that the salary of the unfortunate prisoner was no more than 501. a year, and yet the former was known to have gone. to the very warehouse in which the latter was employed to bet upon the Derby with him, and subsequently to call there for the amount of his win nings. Ile (Mr. Wolfe) was authorised to make this state ment by the prosecutors, who trusted that the public an nouncement of such a fact would, although it could render no service to the prisoner, operate as a warning and a pu nishment to the gentleman whose betting-book presented a more favourable appearance than that upon which the police man had laid his hands. Mr. Pusey said the prisoner was in the employment of the house on the 18th of October list, and in consequence of in formation which he had received, he gave the prisoner into 'ustodv. In his pocket was found a letter from a Mr. Peckiss. The prisoner had previously mentioned that he had sent a piece of Irish-wove fine linen for fronts, and a piece of long cloth to Mr. Peckiss, and had not entered them in the books, although he had received the money for them. It was ascer tained that there was no entry of the kind in the books. Richard Pordage, a warehouseman at Messrs. Pusey and Co.'s, stated that he supplied the prisoner with the articles specified above out of his department of the business, and he saw the prisonef,go up to the entering-book, apparently for the purpose of entering them, and heard him say that he had made the entry. The porter who took the articles to the Parcels' Delivery Company said he saw the prisoner direct them to Peckiss, Esq., of Aylesbury. lie thought they were the prisoner's private property, and he was told by the prisoner not t o l e t Mr. Pellatt see ie parcel. Mr. IL B. Peckiss, surgeon, at Aylesbury, stated that he wrote the letter which had been found upon the prisoner, re questing that he would send to him the goods specified, and he remitted to the prisoner, by a post-office order, the sum of 41. 15s. 6d. for the goods. Witness believed at the time he was dealing with the prosecutors. The policeman stated that he found in the possession of the prisoner a pocket-book containing Mr. Peckiss's letter, and the prisoner said, in answer to a question, that he had sent the goods. A similar charge, in which the prisoner is stated to have sent goods belonging to his employer to a Mr. Sperling, and received the value without making any entry, was preferred, and he was committed for trial upon both accusations. An elderly man, named William White, was brought up on the charge of having attempted to pick the pockets of several gentlemen at the Post-office. The prisoner was observed with a letter in his hand wait iug about the Post-office, and as he did not attempt to post the letter, it was suspected that he was in the neighbourhood for another purpose. He was watched, and seen to dip his hand into the pockets of several persons. A policeman said he knew White to be in the habit of trying to pick pockets. The prisoner —Never in my life did such a thing—never was in a prison before in my life. Gooc'a (the turnkey) said the old gentleman was certainly a pickpocket, although he might not have been in the Comp ter before. There was no doubt at all that the prisoner was in the habit of attending the Post-office when the crowds assembled to get in their letters, and that under the shelter of a letter he was constantly picking pockets. He at first said, upon being asked to whom the letter was addressed, that it was directed to his uncle; and upon being told that the superscription was a female's name, " Oh ! then," said he, it was to my aunt." The prisoner was committed to Bridewell for two months. BOW-STREET. A delicate-looking youth, of 16, named Ford, alias William Rowe, and otherwise Caroline Foster, who appeared at the bar in the attire of a young lady, and sustained the character extremely well, was charged with decamping from his mas ter's service, with a gold watch, value 71., t wo s il ver watc h es, value 51., and 101. in money. The evidence went to show that on the 28th ult. the pri soner was taken into the service of Mr. Webb, a silversmith in Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury, as an errand-boy. In two days afterwards he absconded with the abovementioned property, and a reward was offered for his apprehension, a description of the prisoner, as well as the stolen property, being given in the handbills. By this means a knowledge of the robbery was con veyed to Mr. Daniel Curran, a hatter, in the Black friars-road, who recollected having pawned one of the watches for 21., at the solicitation of a young woman (as he supposed) who had been lodging, a few days in his house, as Miss Caroline Foster, a milliner, and who had taken a shop which she (id est he) was just about to open in that business. This circumstance induced him to appro priate a portion of some money entrusted to him by his new lodger to the redemption of the watch, which, on being shown to Mr. Webb, was immediately identified as his property. Information was then given to the police, and the young lady-gentleman, busy in domestic arrangements, and sur rounded by articles of furniture and kitchen utensils (newly purchased to begin housekeeping with), was apprehended and taken to the station-house. He wore a black velvet bonnet, veil, and crimson shawl; the falsity of a handsome display of black 'ringlets being well concealed by a neat semi-cap. He was speedily unmasked, and possession was taken of a trunk containing a quantity of feminine ap parel, including petticoats, habit-shirts, and a prodigious bustle ; a variety of dress caps, and a largo feather. There were besides some articles of stock-in-trade, ap parently intended for the show-room department, and on his person were found the bills of the different tradesmen of whom the household goods had been purchased. Mr. Curran declared that he never for once suspected the prisoner of being a lad in woman's clothing, and it would also appear that neither the tradesmen nor the landlord of the shop had ever questioned his sex during his transactions with them. It further transpired that the prisoner, after absconding from his master, actually returned to the shop to make some slight p urc h ase , and Mr, Webb was so stripe: with his resemblance to the lad who had robbed him, th at. he privately persuaded his wife to show him into a back apartment, for the purpose of eyeing him with a degree o: minuteness which he feared would be considered indelicr on his part in the event of his suspicions being incorre at. This contrivance was carried out, but as Mrs. Webb avov, red her conviction that the boy was a genuine girl, he was a t once dismissed with the customary civilities. It was proved that the property had been pledged at tla, shop of Mr. Delaney, a pawnbroker, at Green w i c h. The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and Mr. TwrFoRD committed him for trial. CLERKEN WELL. A number of well- dressed youths were brought before tJ is Magistrate, charged with discharging fireworks in the rtree ts. The fireworks consisted of Roman candles, crackers, IsT ale lights, &c., and were of course discharged in honour of the discovery of the Gunpowoler Plot. Mr. Co3u3r; censured the practice, and fined those wh o h ad not been locked up all night 51., and those who had yr are discharged. One boy, named Crowther, was charged with hold: mg up the figure of Guy Fawkes at a bonfire. The evidence of police-constables G 100 and 110 - went to prove, that on the previous night the vagabonds of I ,nerk en well got up a bonfire in the middle of Turnmill-stre at, oom posed of several trusses of straw. The prisoner w• sa one of the ringleaders, and held up a Guy in the midstof the !lames. He was taken into custody, and when arrested lEk44 zed and cuffed the officer who had - him in charge, 110 G, wit .h great violence. Welsh, 100 G, after much difficulty, extif iguished the bonfire. The prisoner was, in default of fine, committed for five days. During the whole of Wednesday crowds of vapid, onds pa raded the streets in Clerkenwell and Islington, with Guys in the midst of them. The police seize upon poor baski :t-women and those miserables (who are striving to eke out.• a scanty livelihood in the streets by honest means) on the charge of obstructing the streets, whilst such idlers as the aboe e, whose practices cherish a rancorous and sectarian feelingi are suf fered to pass unmolested. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Hodson, a fashionably-dressed, very p A)werfully grown man, •oung was charged with assaulting pa lice-con- y. stable, No. 39 of the e division, in the execution of li is duty. The complainant stated, that about half-past three o'clock that morning the defendant came along Regent-street, , ' play ing on a horn." Witness to prevent the inhabitants from being disturbed, desired him to pass on quietly, but h e re fused and made use of abusive language of a very gro a. sort. Witness told him he was no gentleman, on which he I, 'ruck him. After some further angry words, witness, with-, the assistance of a brother constable, took him into custody_ Mr. HARDWICK—Wag the defendant drunk? Constable—H e appeared to be rather fresh. ?ine s d ta e b fe i n e d — a C nt ert sa a i Mr. HARDWICK—Did the blow hurt you? C i d nl h y e not.

HARDWICK—I shall impose a fine on you of 400. of t twenty-one days' imprisonment. The fine was immediately paid. THE LATE EXTENSIVE WATCH AND JEWELLERY ROBBER] TV THE CITY.—PROJECTED RESCUE OF THE PRISONF.FUL— 1 George Gamble and Adolphus Wm. Bodell were brought n ; for final examination, charged with stealing and obtainir it by false pretences gold and silver watches, guard-chain i ' diamond rings, &c., to the amount of between 8,0001. - ai i d 4,0001. The Court was densely crowded the moment it w i ds opened, and a great number of persons had assembled in t he street to catch a sight of the pnsoners as they alighted In er, the prison van, on their being brought up from the Nk Bridewell, Westminster. While in that gaol, it appears th , . '' i 114 COliCoNt44 • plaa of cope, by beipg soma ita c -91 Ael were getting into the van to be brought up for final exami nation previous to their committal to Newgate for trial. On Thursday fortnight they contrived to convey out of the prison three letters, by means of a fellow-prisoner named Hall, who stood remanded from Marylebone Police-court on a charge of felony, and was that day brought up there for further examination, the result of which was his committal to Newgate for trial. Hall, it appears, had been paying his addresses to a respectable female in the neighbour hood of the Regent's Park, and on her visiting him in Newgate, the three letters were delivered to her, concealed in some dirty linen. On discovering them, she handed them to her father, who delivered two of them, but mislaid the third ; and, on the following day, seeing in The San newspaper an account of the prisoner's final examination, he, after making inquiries, was induced to communicate these facts to Mr. French. In consequence, two of the letters were found to have been written by Gamble—one to a party in the Haymarket, requesting him . to have a carriage and post horses in waiting near the prison at the time the prisoners were brought out this morning, and stating that it was the determination of the writer and his fellow-prisoner to attempt their escape at all hazards, as it would roost probably be the only chance that would again occur in their lifetime. Effec tual precautions were, of course, taken by the police to frus trate their intention; and, this morning, before leaving the prison, they were securely handcuffed. Several police con stables were also in attendance to see them placed in the van, anti on their arriving at the Court similar precautions were adopted. No attempt was, however, made, but additional constables were in attendance during the day, and a con stable was expressly stationed in front of the cells they were confined in, to prevent any communication whatever with the prisoners. Mr. Humphries, the solicitor, again appeared on the part of the prosecution, and Mr. Wright, of Fenchurch- street, for the defence. To prevent hinderance to the other public business, the de positions were taken in the private room by Mr. Fitzpatrick, the chief clerk. Between 30 and 40 witnesses have been summoned to attend. Ire addition to the particulars which have appeared in The Sun, Sergeants Wall and Gray, since the prisoners' last exa mination, have succeeded in tracing out, pledged at different pawnbrokers shops, twenty-nine gold and tilver watches be longing to Mr. French, on which upwards of 2401. bad been obtained, and ten other watches obtained by Gamble from different watchmakers and jewellers under false pretences. The circumstances of some of the latter cases are held to constitute a larceny, and Gamble already stands committed for trial for stealing goods similarly obtained. The amount advanced in pledge on the watches, &c., belonging to Mr. French is 600/. and upwards, and the actual value of the pro perty which will be restored to him is about 2,000/. The prisoners will be committed on several of the principal and clearest charges, and in the other cases the pawnbrokers (some of them sufferers to a very considerable extent) will deliver up the property pledged with them to their owners. WORSHIP-STREET. Mr. George Bonham, a pawnbroker, in High-street, White chapel, was summoned before Mr. Broughton, to show cause why he refused to deliver up thirteen boxes of foreign silk, which had been stolen, of the value of 38/., the property of Mr. Edward Hollander, of Haydon-square, Minories, the London agent to a wholesale silk house in Paris. The complainant, a Belgian, stated, that on the 3d of May last he let some apartments in his house to a family of Ger mans, who produced the most respectable references, the husband representing !himself as a doctor of medicine, and who continued to reside there until the morning of the 9th of that month, when they suddenly paid the amount of their rent and left. The abruptness of their departure was so sin gular that his suspicions became excited. and on searching his house he found that a drawer in his bed-room had been forced open, and that in addition to 9/. 16s. in gold and silver, his gold watch and chain, and a valuable diamond neck-pin had been carried off. On further search he dis covered that 13 boxes of silk in reels, and a large bundle of various coloured silk in skeins, which was of a very peculiar description, and had been purposely manufactured by the house in Paris of which he was the agent, for Messrs. Crook of Pall-mall, but which not exactly answering pattern, had , ' been returned to him for sale, had been also stolen from a closet in his sitting-room, the door of which had been burst open. On discovering the robbery, he instantly lodged in formation of it at the police-station, with a full description of the articles so stolen, and hearing a few weeks since that the defendant was in possession of a portion of the stolen pro perty, he sought an interview with him, when the defendant acknowledged having purchased silk of that description, which he said had been brought to his house by a tall foreigner of respectable appearance, for 8/. odd, but averred that he had since sold it. The defendant then, upon being apprised that it was the produce of a robbery, offered to pro cure the restoration of the silk, if the witness would reim burse him the sum he had paid for it; but witness positively declined to do so, as it would compromise him in the eyes of the firms lie dealt with, who would consider he was com pounding a felony. No clue had since been obtained to the retreat of the German family, by whom he suspected the robbery had been committed, and who he had since heard had gone to the Continent, and as his negotiation with the defendant had not resulted in the restoration of the stolen property or ita value, he now sought these means of obtaining that end. Policeman 98 H proved that on the morning succeeding that on which the robbery had been committed he called at the defendant's shop, and apprising his shopman of the loss the complainant had sustained, gate a general description of the silk stolen, and a caution to stop it should it be presented for sale. Mr. Raymond Durnford, a fringe manufacturer in Ald gate, said that he had been in the habit for some time past of dealing with the complainant, and that shortly before the robbery he had purchased of him 21b. of the silk which had been consigned to him as above stated. A few days after the robbery the complainant acquainted him with its perpetration, and a short time after that the defendant waited upon him with numerous boxes of silk, which he offered fur sale. The close resemblance which this silk bore to that which had been stolen instantly struck him, and he told the defendant so, but as the latter was a neighbour and a respectable tradesman, he did not detain the silk, and was satisfied with his leaving his card, which he afterwards handed to the complainant, Mr. Hollander, The witness upon being pressed by the magistrate saw, that as he had not the silk offered him for sale by Mr. Bonham, to compare with a portion he new produced of that he bad purchased of the complainant, forming part of the consignment the re mainder of which had been stolen, he should not like posi tively to swear to their being identical, but the resemblance between the two was so striking as to be certainly somewhat , remarkable. Mr. Humphreys, who attended for the defendant, con tended that no proof whatever had been adduced that the two silks—that purchased by the last witness and that sold by his client—were at all connected with each other. His client had had no more to do with the stolen silk than the magistrate had, and he thought it very bard upon Mr. Bonham to be brought to a police-court to answer such a charge. Mr. BaouGtrrox said, that in his opinion the defendant had no ground whatever for complaint. The complainant had been robbed of a very peculiar description of silk—he gave immediate notice of the robbery to the police—they lodged immediate information of it at the defendant's house, and yet, notwithstanding this, he unhesitatingly purchased silk of, at all events, an exactly similar description. As the witness, Mr. Durnford, could not swear to the identityof the silks, and the Act, which was of a somewhat penal nature, required that it should be proved the article was actually in the defendant's posses sion, which was positively denied, and not distinctly proved to be the case, he felt called upon, sitting there to administer the law as he found it, though it was of a bungling descrip tion, to dismiss the complaint. SOU7'HWARK. Charles Gibbs, a young man in the employ of Mr. G. South, landlord of the Duchess of Kent publie•house in the Kent-road, and Charles Phillips, a Jew clothes-dealer, were brought up for re-examination before Mr. Cottingham, charged with breaking into the above house, and stealing jewellery and clothes to a considerable amount. It appeared that Gibbs had been for some time in the com plainant's employ, and was discharged a short time since in consequence of being suspected of robbing the till of money. Shortly after his discharge the complainant's house was entered and robbed of considerable property, the perpetrators of which remained undiscovered until Saturday night last, when the house was again broken into, the thieves having effected an entrance through awindow at the rea r of the premises. On that occasion property to a larg e amount, consisting of jewellery, silks, and other articles, were taken from the landlord's bedroom, the drawers and cupboards in which were forced open and their contents ab stracted. Inquires respecting the robbery were immedi ately set on foot, in the course of which it was ascertained that Gibbs was seen at the west-end of the town fashionably dressed, and wearing a profusion of jewellery articles, amongst which was a massive gold chain, which decorated the front of a black satin waistcoat worn by him. tipm this informa tion being received, a policeman was employed to look after Gibbs, who was eventually taken into custody with some of the complainant's jewellery in his possession, and when his lodgings were subsequently examined, other articles belong ing to his late employer, the produce of the recent burglary, were discovered, consisting of some diamond pins, several silk scarfs, and a crimson velvet waistcoat. The evidence tending to implicate the other prisoner was, that on the night of the robbery he was seen about the pre mises, and was also observed by a little girl to quit the house by a private door with a bundle, and that he had also been observed in the company of his fellow-prisoner. Mr. Childe, who attended on the part of the complainant, said that within a short period his client's house had been broken into and robbed three times; that it was strongly suspected other parties besides the accused were concerned, and on that account it was desirable that they should bo re manded until further evidence was procured. The prisoners, who merely gave a simple denial to the charge, were then remanded. ALLEGED EXTENSIVE SWINDLING. Two men are at present in custody, under warrants from the Sheriff of Lanarkshire, charged with various swindling transactions of a very extensive description. One of then:. calls himself Captain Paul M'Gregor, of &afield House, Arran, and the other is George Inglis, a spirit dealeee, in King street, Glasgow. The impositions with which. the parties are charged embrace a great number of cases e and have reference to a multiplicity of articles; but the fe:dowing are the more important :—Captain Paul M'Gregor, it appears, in the character of occupant of Seafedd House, Arran (of vehicle, by the way, he is actually the tenant), ordered from Mr. Yellowlees. coach-builder, Edinburgh, a tine chariot, valued at 1001., which was received in Glasgow, and the vehicle, it is alleged, was fortYiwith taken to Salford. Manchester, and there sold for 451. By a similar order a bull and three cows, of the Alderne:y and 4uernsey breed, were obtained from an agent in Ene4land, who, no doubt, entertained the belief that thee' were to fonn part of the fancy or ornamental stock of a landed proprietor in Arran ; but, after reaching Glasgow, they were taken to the cattle market, and, as is alleged, sold for what they would b r i ng. I n the possession of wee of the prisoners, among other papers which brought to light many of their transactions, was found the invoice of a second chariot fr3m a house in London. Of this vehicle, which appears to have been of considerable value, no trace can be found; and, therefore, as far as has been ascertained, it line never entered the avenue of Seatield Severe' piano fortes, gold watches, and other articles of value, have also been ordered and received from London, i+teides other goods of the most varied character being otdered from Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester, and othet towns. They have even dealt in guano, and quantities or this valuable article have been requested to be sent to Captain Paul M'Gregor, from Liverpool, but we have not ascertained whether the island of Arran has ever been benefited in an agricultural point of view by its introduction there as a manure. In short, the trans actions of the parties were so extraordinary, that nothing which could be turned into ready money seems to have escaped their notice, while they took care to pay nothing thernselvere; and the authorities having procured Information a w r h e ich rw in l ,edthem to believe that the whole w as a s w i n dl e , th e y gaol to answer for their conduct.. Captain Paul r.Gregor appears to have been the individual in whose name the goods were ordered; but his coadjutor, Inglis, is charged as having been the party chiefly instrumental in disposing of them after they were received. So far as is yet known they have not favoured Glasgow with any pur chases, their transactions being wholly with towns at a distance, and these the Sheriff's authorities are searching out with great care and assiduity. We may farther state that many articles oar eel 4 have already been re- Truti—Gl4agow COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

HALE, Chairman of the Committee of the City of London School, brought up the following report, which was received with loud cheers:— " TO THE RIGHT HONOURALE THE LORD MAYOR, ALDERMEN, AND COMMONS OF THE CITY OF LONDON, IN COMMON COUNCIL ASSEMBLED. " We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, of your Corn. mittee for managing the affairs of the City of London School, do certify, that having recently been honoured with a com munication from David Salmons, Esq., late Sheriff of this city, intimating his intention of investing in the public funds a sum of money sufficient to establish and support a scholar ship or exhibition, of the value of 50/. per annum, for the benefit of pupils of the City of London School, we have thought it right to take the earliest opportunity of announc ing the same to this Honourable Court. And as the circum stances which have given rise to this distinguished act of liberality are of more than ordinary- interest, we beg leave to submit to the Court the following very gratifying letter, which was addressed by Mr. Salomon, to the Chairman of your Committe upon the subject, viz. : " Burrswood, Tonbridge-wells, Oct. 10, 1845. " ' Sir,—l have been long impressed with the desire to ma nifest to my fellow-citizens, by a lasting testimonial, my grateful recollection of the honour they conferred on me when, under new and peculiar circumstances, they elected me High Sheriff of their ancient city. The enlightened principle of religious toleration asserted by the Livery of the City of London on that occasion has since been gaining strength, until it received, in the last session of Parliament, an express and extended legislative sanction. It is to the diffusion of education that the preparation of the public mind for this peaceful triumph is to be ascribed ; and I can conceive no better mode of perpetuating my grateful ac knowledgments for so great a blessing, than by contributing to further the cause which, under the guidance of the Almighty Disposer of events, has led to this great result. With this object I avail myself of the present opportunity to request you to announce to the Committee of the City of London School that it is my intention forthwith to present and to convey to the trustees of that excellent institution the sum of 1,6661. 13s. 4d., Three per Cent. Consols, for the pur• pose of establishing en exhibition of 50/. per annum, open to members of every religious persuasion, towards providing a four years maintenance at either Oxford, Cambridge, or the London University, or University or King's College, in London, at the option of the student, limited, of course, to persons wholly or in part educated at the City of London School. " 'I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, "' W. S. Hale, Esq." DAVID SALOMONS. "We have the pleasure of furtber stating, that Mr. Salo mons, who, at the time of favouring us with the foregoing communication, was absent from London, immediately upon his return to town took the necessary steps for carrying his generous istentions into effect, and has accordingly in vested in the Three per Cent. Consolidated Bank Annuities the sum of 1,666/. 13s. 4d. stock, in the names of the Right Hon. Michael Gibbs, Lord Mayor ; Anthony Brown, Esq., Chamberlain; Warren Stormes Hale, Esq., Chairman of your Committee ; and Mr. Thomas Brewer, Secretary of the School, as trustees, for the purpose above-mentioned. We therefore recommend that a proper deed for securing the due fulfilment of Mr. Salomon 's benevolent wishes should be forthwith prepared by the Comptroller of the Chamber of this city, at the expense of the corporation, in order to have the City's seal attached thereto. " In submitting to this Honourable Court this additional instance of liberality towards the City of London School, your Committee cannot help pointing out the peculiarly interest ing circumstances under which the present benefaction has been bestowed. The letter which Mr. Salomons has honoured us with furnishes so complete a record of the noble and ge nerous sentiments which have actuated him on this occasion, and so fully developes his kindly feeling towards all classes of his fellow-citizens, that we feel satisfied it will secure to wards him their lasting respect and gratitude. We should not, however, do .instice to our own feelings if we omitted to avail ourselves of this opportunity to express our grateful acknowledgment s f or th e important advantage which he has been pleased to confer upon the institution under our care, and our sincere wish that he may long have the hap piness to witness the beneficial results of his liberality and kindness. ..... " Under the conviction that this Hon. Court, as Governors of the City of London School, will entirely coincide with us in these sentiments, we beg to recommend that we should be empowered to cause a tablet, with an inscription corn. memorative of Mr. Salomon's gift, and alsl his armorial bearings, to be placed in a conspicuous part of the school at the expenses of this city, in like manner with the memorials already put up by the direction of this Hon. Court with re spect to other similar benefactions to the school."—(Cheers.) The Cttatttmax de c l ar ed that it was most agreeable to him to be the channel of communication in a case which reflected so much honour upon the feelings of Mr. Salomons, and was calculated to render so much benefit to the institution by stimulating others to follow this splendid example. The ex hibition thus offered was the 13th which had been presented since the formation of the school, and the appearances of in creasing prosperity were no longer equivocal. To the capital management of the school everything was, to a great extent, attributable. There were now -193 scholars, all of whom were receiving an education of the first order.--.(Loud cheers.) Mr. Harrison, Mr. Hale, and Mr. R. Taylor expressed much gratification at the report. The report was then agreed to with loud applause. Mr. HALE then moved that a vote of thanks be voted to Mr. D. Salomons, written upon vellum, emblazoned, and framed. Mr. WIRE seconded the motion, and said the City of Lon don School would rival, and soon, no doubt, surpass any other school in England. It had already received 13 exhi bitions, and he knew of a 14th which would shortly make its appearance.—(Cheers.) It was useless to say a word about the tolerant spirit which had manifested itself. There were to be seen the children of Jews and Christians equally running the race of honour, and equally industrious and equally rewarded.—(Cheers.) The motion was then unanimously agreed to. CHRIST'S HOSPITAL AND TIM CORPORATION OF LONDON. Alderman Woon, in consequence of the intimation that the question between the Court of Aldermen and the Gover nors of Christ's Hospital had been referred to counsel, post poned the motions of which he had given notice. from the privilege?—( Hesr, hear.) He never held a rail road share, but he sh-old be rr , hattied to attempt to prevent those who were shareholders from voting on the subject of introducing a railroad into the City. Mr. HALL said the subject was one one which ought to be discussed in a full Court, and suggested the adjournment of the discussion.—(Loud cries of " No, no.") Mr. SELSON then, as daylight was disappearing and dinner hour was arrived, cried out " I move the adjournment of the Court."—( Loud cries of " Hear.") The Lora) MAYOR, upon putting the question, declared the Court to be adjourned. CORN AVERAGES.

We shall present to the eyes of the civilised wo rld the sin gular spectacle of a nation voluntarily poor in the midst of great wealth, hoarding up stores which it forbears to touch, and starving itself for the good of its neighbours. However the philanthropy of such a country may be adm ired for its vastness and its novelty, yet mankind will question its sense of justice, especially when they remember that this tempo rary self-denial is to be compensated by a future extrava gance ; and that though we abstain from buying when we might buy cheaply, we shall enter the markets when com petition has created dearness, and dearness has been followed by general distress. The guests in Lucian 'a ghost banquet passed each delicacy by in succession, because me mory and imagination taught them to expect that the latter viands would be daintier than the first. We have no such hope. We lose the opportunity that nature offers and pru dence should accept, with the certainty that it will not re turn. We are enamoured of scarcity for its own sake, and embrace the haggard nakedness of dearth with inexplicable fondness. And when at last we fly to our resources, it is to drain ourselves and famish our neighbours. But let the merit be given where it is due. To the finisher and per fecter of the sliding-scale be attributed this our virtue or our weakness. His measure and its working are easily described. 'rake his own elaborate eulogism, and insert one little word, expressive of negation. He told us that it would guarantee us against the perils of famine and the vicissitudes of prices : that it would save us from alternations of un profitable redundance and pinching scarcity, and would till our granaries with a perpetual plenty of corn that should be never too dear or too cheap. Insert one little " not," and the description is literally correct. All its merits are illustrated by the converse of the Premier's praise. It is now found—whether or no by men in office we cannot say—but by all others, that Providence is mightier than Prime Ministers; that it is poor sport gamb ling with harvests; that prices will not adjust themselves to Acts of Parliament or the exigeneZes of sellers; in a word, that a fluctuating duty adds embarrassment and uncertainty to speculations which must always be umsertain and con tingent. That men should hesitate before th.:y believe in the approximation of danger is natural. That they should delay or deprecate a change in their own measures, ate work the work of their own hands, is natural also. But State neceesii.Y is more powerful than self-love or self-delusion. It works by signs and by wonders—by the popular voice, by the opera tions of nature, by the distress of nations. Let no man say that his work is final—that his wisdom is paramount—that his counsels are for all time. It is not so. It never was, and never will be so. The great chain of events coils round and round us, imperceptible, inevitable, inextricable. Every movement of human will has its check; every im pulse its deflection; every principle its modification. Even the wisest statesmanship must in a great measure be an adop tion of expedients. That which is not the wisest must be their slave. But of all things that claim the name of states manship, that is the most foolish and fatuous which clings with doting tenderness to a denounced principle or a con demned practice, and which looks around with piteous mien and moistened eye for some pretext to abandon a theory which it can no longer keep with safety or honour. Be it so. A pretext is at hand—a twofold pretext—a prospective dearth in England, a present one in Ireland. The last carries its own warning with it. You who fear not the steady earnestness of the English people may dread the violence of an Irish popu lace. Ireland you pronounce to be your difficulty. Will you add to it? You say that in England there is no fear of famine; can you say the same of Ireland? Already that niggardly food which supports life to four millions of Our fel low-subjects is doomed. Its duration is a thing to reckon by months. After that, Ireland will be dependent on your wisdom or your alms. Charity she depre cates with scorn. She demands leave to purchase food, and to get employment. You will not be rash enough to refuse her request. You will open the ports and admit, at any rate, maize and coarse grain. But on what principle can you rest there ? How will you reduce or abolish the duties on the staple food of one country with out doing the same to another ? Will you vote money to give employment to the Irish people ? It would be an act of munificent charity, if it were not (as it probably would be) perverted into a monstrous job. But remember, if you do this you will be taking away the money of the English people at a time when money will be scarce, and employment much rarer that it is now, to feed the Irish. Will this be just ? Do you think it will he tolerable ? No. A great opportunity has arrived—an opportunity, not (as our French Contemporaries say) for pauperising an aristocracy or de• stroying a class, but for regulating the machinery of com merce, for preventing great uncertainties in the price of bread, and the great embarrassments which follow its scarcity. This is an age of low prices. Our prosperity is now found to be coincident with low prices. High prices interfere with trade and hamper industry. Sooner or later restrictive duties must be narrowed to their lowest limit. The people will gain by it ; and it would argue a great ignorance of human wants and human capabilities to imagine that those who are engaged in the tillage of the soil and the production of food have no higher charter, no more prevailing shield, than the parchment Acts of Parliamentary protection. That which enriches all besides cannot beg ;aralanded aristocracy. The present corn-laws are doomed. It is for the Premier to decide whether he will sign the warrant of their execution. Self-love, the tenderness of sponsorship, and a lingering regard for the graces of consistency, may stay his hand. But his mercy will be suicidal. If he delays, others will be found ready to act for him. He will only gain the equivocal praise of having been unseasonably, and on one point only, consistent. But there is much in " the look of the thing" with Premiers as well as prudes. And the most prudish of Premiers may hesitate before he condemns what ho has sanctioned, and sanctionswhat he has strenuously denounced. If this be so, there is only one course for him to take—to ab stain from taking an open part in this important discussion— to leave to others the merit of settling the question— and to resign.— Times. The success which has attended Lieutenant Wag horn's first attempt to for Ward the Indian mail rid Trieste must be gratifying to all admirers of enterprise. Even sup posing France to be the more natural route, it is obvious that untoward circumstances might arise which would at once cut off our overland communication with India unless the practicability of as speedy a transit through Germany were demonstrated. A spirit less bold or indefatigable would hare been content with being the first to discover one over land route; it is the singular fortune, if it be fair to apply the term in such a case, of Lieutenant Waghorn to have shown the feasibility of two. We are new so accustomed to receive our letters twice a month from India, that we are apt to forget the time when the scheme for an over land mail rid Marseilles was laughed to scorn. The thing was a chimera, it could never succeed ; but it did succeed ; and the mockers were silenced, just as a fortnight since the failure of the attempt rid Trieste was confidently predicted by some who are now ready to cry out, 4‘ We always said so." For our own part, we confess that we entertain doubts whether the Trieste route will be always so sure. even though it should be occasionally speedier than that rid Marseilles. In winter time it will be no easy matter to convey a heavy mail of many boxes over the passes of the Tyrol, and a fall of snow way cause several days' delay. But as to the courage and capacity which Lieutenant Wag• horn has displayed there can only .he one opinion. He has a claim on the gratitude of all who are interested in India ; and we only hope that the thousands who have benefited by his persevering labours will not forget that a testimonial is now being set on foot in acknowledgment of his eminent services. Times. THE LATE ACCIDENT AT YARMOUTH SUSPENSION; spa, Gs .—A question was recently raised as to the validity of the inquest on the bodies of the persons who were drowned by the falling of the suspension-bridge at Yarmouth. A notice of the grounds of objection appeared in this paper about three weeks since. The whole matter was referred, under the charter, to the adjourned quarter sessions, when the case was argued. It was contended, on the authority of the case " Queen e. West " (1 Gall and Davis, p. 481), that one inquisition would be sufficient where several persons were killed at the same time and by the same acci dent. Therefore, that the Coroner had no right to charge for seventy-nine inquests. In the neat place, it was contended that some inquests were net proper in form, as they did not set out the precise cause of death, whether by drowning or by the falling of the bridge; and in the next place, the inquests had been adjourned sine die. It had been held in Hawkins's Pleas of the Crown, that the adjournment must be to some particular day and place. No adjournment appeared on the face of the inquisition. Mr. baron Alderson had laid it down in the " Queen O. Connor," who was tried at the Central Criminal Court for murder, that after an adjournment sine die, the Coro ner's jurisdiction ceased ; and lastly, that they were invalid, as the jurors had not been sworn on view of the bodies. To the two last points the Coroner replied, that he could not fix a clay, because he eould not tell when the Government engineer would arrive; and that the jurors were sworn at the church-hall and proceeded to view the bodies—that the form of the oath was, " You shall dill gently inquire touching the death of of whose body you ghat have a view." The Recorder said the form was incorrect. Mr. Evans, a magistrate, said the proper form was, " You shall dili gently inquire and true presentment make touching the death of A. 8., here lying dead. The Recorder agreed, and on that ground and on the ground that the adjournment sloe die was illegal, and that the jury ought to have been sworn whilst viewing the body, pronounced the inquests to have been illegally holden ; and, there fore, that he could not allow costs. He, however, thought that ars inquest should be held on each person. This important decision has been elicited in consequence of the heavy charges of the Coro ner, who claimed 11. is. Bd. for each inquest, besides fees to the jury and rewards for finding the bodies, &c. The Town-Councit offered to pay whatever sum the Recorder thought fair. The Recorder suggested 50 guineas, exclusive of fees and rewards. This was agreed to. WORCESTER.—There was a good attendance of buyers at our fair on Monday, but a short supply of cows and sheep, considering the average of November fairs. Best beef sold readily at Bd. per lb.; in-calf cows and fresh barrens sold at very good prices. Mutton fetched from Bid. to 7d., with a ready sale. There was a short supply of pigs, but they sold at an exceedingly high figure. Prices were altogether much on the increase.- iforeestershire Clrroraicle. GLASGOW PIG-IRON TRADE.—There seems to be no cash buyers in this market at present prices. Large parcels are offering at 871. 6d., but no buyers. We quote the price for cash, 85s. net.

All kinds of labourers readily find employment at good wages ; fifteen shillings a-week is paid them by some of their employers. Provisions are already beginning to fall as railway shares advance.—Ayr Observer. . V. ATAL AFFRAY.—KINGWOOD, NOV. s.—On Satur day last a quarrel took place between some parties assembled at the Victoria beer.house, kept by George Iles, in this village, which resulted in the death of a man named James Brain. An inquest has been held upon the body, at which it appeared that on the above-mentioned night the members of a friendly society, or benefit club, met to transact business. A portion of them wished to remove the society to another house, which gave rise to a quarrel. In the scuffle a man named Henry Bryant caught up the box containing the payments of the members, and was about going down stairs with it, when the deceased man, Brain, kicked him. Bryant, thereupon, pulled Brain by the legs, and pre. cipitated him headlong down stairs, causing injuries, from the effects of which he died in about four hours afterwards. Bryant has been committed upon the coroner's warrant to Gloucester gaol to take his trial for the offence.

Mr. WIRE, after a speech in which he spoke in the highest terms of the merits and claims of the City Commissioner of Police, moved that it be referred to the Police Committee to consider the duties and services of that officer, and to re port their opinions as to the propriety of augmenting his pre sent salary. lie was supported by several members. Mr. DE JERSEY contended that the Commissioner's present salary was sufficiently adapted to his services, and moved the previous question. Several members supported the latter view of the subject, and the amendment was ultimately carried. CENTRAL, CITY TERMINUS. Mr. WIRE appeared with a petition, with an immense number of signatures attached, and said, that as everybody knew to what it alluded, he should simply move that it be referred to the Improvement Committee. The number of the petitioners and their respectability were of the highest kind. This mention of the petition, which Mr. Wire did not de scribe in more words than we have used, the display of much excitement. was the signal for After a smart discussion, The LORD MAYOR said the Court can decide whether the presence of the petitioners may or may not be dispensed with. On the question being put the presence of the petitioners was dispensed with by a large majority. The petition, which was as follows, was then read : " TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORD MAYOR, !ALDERMEN, AND COMMONS, IN COMMON COUNCIL ASSEMBLED. " The petition of the undersigned Merchants, Bankers, Wholesale and Retail Dealers, and others, engaged in or connected with Trade and Commerce in the City of London, " Showeth,—That we have heard it is proposed to con struct a great trunk line from Battle-bridge to Farringdon street, for the use of such of the Northern, North-Eastern, and North-Western Railroad Companies as shall be desirous of availing thomselves of it, upon payment of such fair remu neration to the Company constructing the same as may be agreed between them. " We have heard that the Company promoting this great undertaking are desirous of purchasing from the Corporation of London, at its fair value, the site of Farringdon-market, which we are informed is so little needed for the purposes of a market, that the receipts from every source have not since its erection defrayed the costs of management and repair.

" We have further heard that the promoters of the plan pro pose that the site of Field-lane, Saffron-hill, West-street, Sharp's-alley-, and other 'wretched localities to the north of Holborn-hill and Snow- hill on each side of the extended rail road, shall be used for the erection of temporary depots for merchandises and goods coming by railway from the manu facturing districts, and that goods and cattle arriving by rail *hall be passed to their destination from those spots, without in any manner crowding the stations, or incommoding the passengers proceeding to or from the:terminus in Farringdon street. -' Re believe that a project of this nature will largely con tribute to the public convenience and accommodation, and will be productive of great advantage to the trading interests of the City of London.

THE CORN-LAWS and RELATIONS WITH AMERICA. Next in magnitude and public importance to that all absorbing topic of the day—how are we to avert a famine? —is the present position of our relations with the r nited States, whether we view them politically or commercially. We have often heard of foreign quarrels being encouraged for the purpose of diverting attention from domestic dissen sions; but, in the present case, we fear that the well-founded apprehensions of calamities at home are excluding from due appreciation the dangers to which we are exposed abroad. We are led to believe, from information on which we are en titled to rely, that, notwithstanding the importance of the " food question," which has occupied the deliberations and divided the opinions of the Cabinet in their recent meetings, the state of our negotiations at Washing ton, in regard to the Oregon territory, has been a ques tion scarcely less perplexing and embarrassing. Certain it is, from all we can glean of public opinion in the states, and from all we can learn from private sources of the views of the Cabinet at Washington, and of their power to control public opinion, even were they disposed to do so, in order to effect a friendlyl settlement of this questions- , and it is with reluctance and sincere regret that we make the avowal — there appears at present scarcely a chance of such views being entertained in the pending negotiation at Washington as will or can meet the acceptance of an English Cabinet. Nor are our fears on this score lessened when we refer to the apparent precautionary preparations which the recent activity in the various Government dock-yards would indicate against apprehended clanger; nor when we refer to the fact that our cruizers stationed on the west coast of South America have sailed to the north with sealed Lorders. The approach of the meeting of Congress, when as a matter of course the President in his message will be under the ne cessity of declaring the views of his Government in regard to this now exciting question, renders it a matter of necessity that our Ministers should be decided as to their policy. How far Mr. Polk may, in his message to Congress, change the tone of his inauguration speech, we will not venture to say, but it is certain that the events which have since then oc curred in America have been such as rather to increase than subdue the popular appetite for "territory." It has seldom happened that an English Cabinet has been called upon to deliberate upon two questions of such vital importance to the country—famine, with all its social consequences, at home, and war, with commercial disruptions serious as could well be both in their nature and extent, abroad. We protest most earnestly that we are desirous to avoid creating unnecessary alarm, but seeing the danger, we feel that we should be most remiss in our duty to the public if we shrunk from following the present evidences which are before us to conclusions which, sooner or later, appear inevi table, unless something be done materially to alter the tone of public opinion in America with regard to its relations with this country. However far separated, at first sight, the two grave questions may be which at present engross the attention of the repeated . meetings of the Cabinet, a little closer investigation will show that they are not only nearly allied in their origin, but that the difficulties in each case can be best met by the same course on the part of this country. Looking to America, it is highly instructive to observe the origin and growth of the popular excitement with regard to Oregon, and by whom such recklessness is displayed as to the con sequences which may result to the peace of the two coun tries. No one, even in America, pretends to cling to their asserted right to any portion of the Oregon territory from the intrinsic value which they attach to it as a possession; on the contrary, the tenacity with which they adhere to those rights, and the propensity which they evince to increase their pretensions, appear more dictated by a hostility to their rival joint occupants than by any estimate of the value of the country. This appears even more evident when we ob serve by whom these feelings of hostility are most evinced. It is exactly in proportion as parties are alienated from England, by an exclusion from a beneficial intercourse with us, that we find them intemperate and reckless as to the consequences of a quarrel with respect to Oregon. It is not the cotton growers of the eastern or southern states, nor the commercial classes in the middle and northern states, that we find heedless of the conse quences of these disputes. The intemperate tone which pre vails on this vexatious question excites no less anxiety in New York, New Orleans, and Boston, than it does in London, Liverpool, and Glasgow. Singular as it may appear, the meetings and violent resolutions in regard to Oregon are chiefly confined to the great agricultural statesof the Union to the growers of wheat in the west, and of Indian corn in th e south; and to that large portion of the public, and the pres s which are enlisted in those interests. Countries and commu nities which are bound together by mutual interests will no t lightly hazard an interruption to their intercourse. The road to mutual concessions, and the adoption of any fair and rea mrnable proposition for the settlement of disputes, are com paratively easy, where it is the interest of both par ties to avoid a quarrel. New Orleans would see its inter course cut off with New York with less regret than it would that with Liverpool. Manchester and Glasgow, as far as their interests are concerned, could view a bombard ment of New York as little less injurious than that of any part of our own country. But our policy of protection to agriculture at home has cut off our communication with the large agricultural classes in America; and we are now reap ing the bitter fruits cf that policy in the condition to which our prospects are reduced of the means by which the country is to be fed for the next twelve months, while we have alienated from English sympathies that large class in the United States with which we should be most closely associated in mutual interests. The difficulties of the Oregon question in America, and of the " food question" in England, may well be considered in relation to each other in their origin, and more so as to the means by which they can be most successfully surmounted. Sir Robert Peel should feel no small consola tion from the fact, that the two great evils which at present threaten the country, and which so much perplex his coun cils, can be best averted by one and the same policy. He nced have no hesitation as to the course to pursue with regard to the one difficulty, lest it should aggravate the other; there need be no fine balancing of so much good m the one case against so much mischief in the other. England, and Ireland in particular, are notoriously deficient of the neces sary supply of food to last till next harvest. If we look round me everywhere, the United States is the only country from which any important supplies can be obtained. An opportunity, consistent with our urgent wants, presents itself to the Minister to give the corn-growers in America as deep an interest in the maintenance of peace as the cotton-growers have now. It is a fact to which we are enabled to speak, that the chief difficulty which the Ame rican Government now feel, with regard to the policy which will be practicable in respect to the Oregon question, arises from the views taken by that very class whose interests in favour of an unbroken peace between the two countries, a common regard to our own present necessities should lead us to conciliate. Cat any Man seriously believe that any great party in America, who had st real interest in the continuance of the peace of the two countries, would interpose objections to any mode by which such an honourable adjustment could be effected of such a questions as that now pending between the two countries? But Sir Robert Peel must make up his mind, if he will allay fears at home, and dissipate the antipathies against us among the agricultural classes in America, to abandon for ever his long-cherished principle of a sliding-scale, which has ever proved especially harassing to the corn-growers in America, and which had, in many respects, the appearance of being especially directed against them. There never was an occa sion when a minister had it in his power to avert so much danger, present and future, by a single act, as Sir Robert Peel now has, by a repeal of those restrictions of our trade in grain which have endangered the best interests of the coun try equally at home and abroad.—Chronicle. THE CORN-LAWS. Whilst the public mind has been kept in a state of sus pense, the Ministerial Councils ha ve b ee n distracted with divisions as to the extent and remedies of the famine crisis, It has ever been so. The tenacity of human hope clings to, and the weakness of human reason parades, slight pretex ts in the presence of imp en di ng ca l am ities. It is not until the danger becomes too great to be resisted with success or con fronted with courage that the errors of a rash confidence and the folly of a specious procrastination are confessed ; and then the Immensity of the crisis is put forward as an excuse for acts which were once justifiable on the score of prudence, but have finally become inevitable from necessity. It is 116 118 ftif teed, Whether in the Cabinet or out of it, to disguise or to understate the magnitude of the impending anger. It is no use for theni to argue th at, beca u Fe wheat is cheap in England, there is no chance of famine heft Of that the failure of the potato crop Itt Ireland cannot affect the Corti markets in this country. The facts are known to every man who has had the will and op portunity for inquiry. Wheat is cheap. But what wheat? very worst that is brought to market. Good wheat— the wheat which supplies the table of all middle-class fami lies7=is alfesdy dear: What, then, may it be expected to be four, five, six, and teti Itiontbs from this time? The juggle of the averages returns a fictitious iltiCC just now by con founding the good with the bad. The averages determine the duty, and the duty is such as to exclude a supply from abroad. Under any circumst ances, therefore, it is reasonable to anticipate that before the period of another harvest arrives, the staple food of all classes will have become dear; that of the poorest and lowest , dea r beyond the possibility of pur chase. But when we t ake into consideration the state of the continental markets —the deficient crops in France, Belgium, and Holland , and tha prospective demands of those countries on the granaries of Europe—the case is complicated with new difficulties and new absurdi ties. It is not many weeks since a large quantity of corn was taken out of bond in England and shipped to foreign ports; let the present .duty continue but a few weeks longer, and much cf that 14413 remains i n Wad exporte d to NOVEMBER Once more November's month its reign resumes, 'Mid cheerless pr“speets and proverbial glootus ; No cheering beams of sunshine can we trace — The sun appears afraid to show his face.
