DANCING SONG. (From the Weekly Dispatch.) Dance, dance, as long as ye can, We must travel through life, but why make a dead march of it? The fine linen of State m 4 3, sit well upon man, But 'tie pleasant, methinks, just to rills out the starch of it. Dance, dance, as long as ye may, See the plumes of the pine, how they dance on the mountain : See the ocean floods dance while the winds pipe and play, . See the radiant bubble-drops dance iu the fountain. Dance, dance, let no cynic rebel, See the stars are for ever all dancing and twinkling ; 'Tie the music of spheres that they dance to so well, And that music is ceaseless, though soft be the tinkling. Dance, dance, every one, The gnats round our heads dance in endless gyration ; The very worlds foot it away round the sun, Keeping up the old figure first led by Creation. Dance, dance, see the sweet rose itend to the blue-bell in light minuetting ; Summer leaves fall when the the autumn gust blows, But they dance and die merrily wildly pousettieg. Dance, dance, look on the pill, The white lillies nod, and the bulrushes quiver; The beautiful water. flags ! when are the still ? They dance in the mill-pond, they dance in the river. Dance, dance, see over head, How the clouds dance along, with the gauzy robes streaming, Look below, see the legion of dancers that spread In the corn-ears that shake with tht it golden crowns gleaming. Dance, dance, the wisp-light will try With its harlequin dancing to tempt the lost Langer; The flame of the Ingle-log dances on high, To shed joy in the household, and beacon the stranger. Dance, dance, the savage is found Dancing in fury, in triumph, and laughter; • The child from the village school. trammels unbound, Dances as rarely he's seen to dance after. Dance, dance, as long as ye ma), Nature gets up a great " ballet" abou( us ; Her stage-room is vast, so come trip it away, For Life's Opera cannot be perfect without us. ELIZA COOK. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAFERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE. —" Open your mouth—shut your• eyes—and see what Peel will send you !" Such was, in effect, urged upon the country, in divers forms, as no more than was due to the newly-in stalled Premier; 'Who abked for "time" to - prepare his nteusures, and then put forth the same plea, that. his measures might also have time to work the promised good. The yobe mooches complied with the Premier's request: they devoutly shut their eyes to consequences—opened their• rnoutl►s wide with expectation—and had the lecome Tax popped in as the produce of Peel's fina;.cial skill ; while the new tarit•l; shadow of good things to come—the substance of which was never to be realised— completed the amoeut of the Premier's benefits to the country. In his much-lauded finan cial exposition, upon the introduction of his first budget, the Right Honourable Baronet founded his claim to public confidence on the estimates and working of the grand scheme for restoring the national revenue. The result has proved that no failure was ever more signal than has att.•nded the Minister's scheme of finance; because no estimates were ever more erroneous than those on which that ficheme was founded. Sir Robert Peel's grand expedient for meeting the deficiency in the national taxation, and for restoring the revenue to health and efficiency, lats now been in opera lion two years. The country is familiar with its results. The several sources of revenue, With the increase or decrease, as the case may lie, on the year and quarter, are thus supplied; and, as these returns are published by the Govern ment, they constitute satisfactory data by which the financial condition of the country may be arrived at, and a correct judgment be formed of the system of taxation to which the Govern ment has subjected the nation. The increased receipts from the Excise for the quarter amount only to 8,763/. The post-office shows an improvement of ,0001.;2 but the deficiency of the latter on the✓ year is 13,00/. This defi ciency is, however, attributed to items being now charged under this, which were formerly placed to another account. It is thus seen that the increase upon the legitimate sources of reve nue is trifling. Any improvement in those iterns which indicate the condition of the labouring classes is, we admit, asubjectofcongratulation. An improvement in the excise on the yearof3B7,oool• is, therefore, to be taken as proof, to that extent, of an increased ability in the consuming classes of taxed articles to procure a larger quantity of the necessaries and comforts of life than, for a considerable period, they had been able to ob tain. Still, when the state of depression and suf fering, of which the labouring classes had been long the subjects, is considered, the improvement in trade, and increased means of procuring more than mere food, and that of the coarsest kind, is but trifling. The decrease in Stamps evinces an apathy in commerce. The diminished receipts from the Assessed Taxes show that if the Income Tax enriches the Exchequer in one department, it induces the individual who is subjected to its odious operation to curtail his expenses in other respects. Reduced domestic establishments, among the more opulent classes of society, and houses exchanged for tenments of lower rents and rates, with inability to pay the assessments on even these, explain the continued decrease upon the Assessed Taxes. To the Income-tax, therefore, the boasted improvement in the state of the na tional exchequer must be principally assigned. Even that improvement is the result of the great statesman's erroneous estimates of the amount it would produce—errors which cut away ihe bases of his calculations as to the per cent- ai r z.e to be imposed, and the number of years during which the tax was to be in operation. The head of Miscellaneous includes, if it does not altoge ther comprise, alarge remittance under the treaty with China—an item which, though it has largely aided the Exchequer, was not so much as hinted at in Sir Robert Peel's grand financial exposi tion, The same may be remarked of " Corn," the duties on which—though they have assisted the revenue to the extent of 1,300,000/. —were a god-send to the Minister, though a fiscal curse to the community. We have gone more largely and elaborately into the revenue returns than we have been wont to do on former occa sions. The notes of preparation sounded by the Standard, to prepare the public for Sir Robert Peel's grand financial triumph, have prompted, if not provoked, the analysis; which, we think, will exhibit the great political luminary somewhat shorn of his beams. STAN DARD.—It has lately been our pleasing duty to present to the public a rich array of proofs of the prosperous advance made by the empire within the last two years, the effect of a prudent and patriotic administration of the Government. Peace conquered and confirmed—the Britiei territories profitably augmented—manafactures and commerce re stored—boundless fields opened to their enterprise—and the value of British public obligations enhanced 10 per cent. To-day we complete the gratifying work, by announcing an improvement in the revenue wholly without example under any circumstances approaching to similarity. The readers of the Standard were prepared, by our brief and general, but accurate, announcement of last night, for a large increase in the public contribu tions of 1843, beyond those of the pre ceding year ; in our present number we lay the figures in detail before them. In the tables inserted in our first page they will see an increase, a large increase, in every branch of re venue which can by any construction be treated as an index to the state of the mass of the people, with reference to their enjoyments or to their active industry. The year's increase on the Excise amounts to no less than 387,5031., and the total increase of all sources of revenue, deducting decrease upon those heads of taxation which are proofs of distress, not of prosperity—such as the corn duties and the stamp duties—amounts, exclusive of the pro perty-tax to 1,063,9741. — more than one mil lion sterling. Including the property-tax, the increase would be 5,742,0781., and as respects the resources of the Exchequer, its abi lity to meet the demands of the public ser vice, as respects, too, the general ability of the na tion, this increase of nearly six millions sterling is, questionless, a bona fide increase. But this is not the light in which we wish to have the returns looked to at present; we would direct attention to them as evidence of the national progress, not as evidence of the national strength, of which, indeed, there was never any rational doubt: Let us then take the property-tax from both years, because it was collected during a part only of 1842, and we shall have a compa rative view to which no exception can be taken, viz.. - 842.-44,329,865/., minus 571,0161. property tax [843.-50,071,9431., minus 5,249,2601., pro perty-tax 1)IST ItILTS. ncrease on the year, exclusive of property tax £1,063,974 Thus, exclusive of the Property-tax, nay, despite of its reflex operation, which the oppo nents of the measure threatened to be so injuri ous to other sources of revenue—exclusive of the Property-tax, and, in spite of all the mischief it was to do—the ordinary sources of revenue are more productive in 1843 than they were in 1842, by one million sterling and upwards. Even this, however, is an inadequate view of the national progress. On the face of the returns betbre us, there appears we must admit a decrease, though a trifling one, in the Customs of last year. From the statement it is seen that the great excess of revenue in 1842 arises upon the October quarter of that year—an excess, altogether attributable to the prodigious mass of foreign corn imported or taken out of bond at the Bs. duty in the months of August and Sep tember, rated, if we mistake not, at three mil lions of quarters. Such revenue is an index of loss and not of gain, as for every shilling gained by the Exchequer the former must have lost at least three, and lost the money never to return to this country. Upon the same prin ciple upon which, in order to arrive at a fair comparative view of the revenue of the two years, we have struck out the Property-tax for both years, we ought to strike out the corn duties, which made up so large a part of last year's revenue, and have produced little or nothing in the present year. If we had the figures enabling us to do this, there is no reason to doubt that the actual increase of the ordinary fixed sources of revenue, instead of resting, happily high, as it does above one million sterling, would closely approach to two millions. Such, at least, is appa rently the just inference from the Fact, that upon a comparison of the concluding quarters of the two years, in neither of which quarters did the corn duties sensibly operate, the last quarter presents an increase of more than half a mil lion. As to the other trifling deficiencies, they can be all as easily explained, while they, whose business it is to find fault, will be somewhat at a loss to explain away one shilling of the noble increase of more than one million sterling, wholly exclusive of the property-tax. THE ROYAL NAVY. state of emaciation, and the, jury expressed their condemna tion of the parish officers for not having attended to the de ceased, in his miserable state. John Cowley, living in the same house, said, that he obtained a precarious existence by selling shavings. The deceased had occupied the same room for some weeks, and was latterly so exhausted that he was unable to eat. He was an out-pensioner of the parish of St: Leonard, Shoreditch, from which he received a loaf of bread and Is. 6d. a week. Deceased had strong oh. jections to entering a workhouse ; his pallet consisted of straw, on which he lay at night, but he had no bed-clothes to cover him. Deceased paid Is. 2d. a week for the room. Witness contributed 7d. towards the lodging. Last Wednesday after noon witness went out, leaving deceased sitting in a chair. He complained of a swimming in his head, with which he had been troubled some days. When witness returned in the even ing deceased was lying on his wretched bed ; life was extinct. In answer to a juror, the witness said that no surgeon was called in, and that his bed consisted of shavings. The Coroner observed that the deceased possibly might have lived if he had had the power to take his food; but it appeared that his stomach was too weak. It was remarked by some of the jury that there were many similar cases of distress in the parish, and that when so much was paid in rates towards the relict' of the poor, their cases should be inquired into.—Verdict, " Found dead." INTERVALS OF EATING.—The ordinary time requi site for the completion of digestion is from fur to five hours, and we evidently ought not to eat more frequently than this ; if we do, we keep the organs performing the different pro cesses of digestion in a perpetual round of action, and allow the stomach no rest. Instead, therefore, of recommending one with an enfeebled digestion to eat "little and often," I am con fident the better advice would he to substitute the %cord " sel dom" for " often."—Dr. H.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday afternoon an in quisition was taken before Mr. Baker, at the Bluecoat Boy, Dorset-street, Spitalfields, on view of the bo d y of John Clark, aged 73, a hawker of lucifer.matches, whose death arose under the following melancholy circumstances of des titution, at No. I, Little Paternoster-row. The late abode of the deceased, when viewed by the coroner's jury, presented the appearance of the utmost destitution. The Coroner re marked, that be had never seen a human being in such a Teans. 33s Od 32s Od 27s Cd CIIINESE COLLECTION --The following distin guished personages have recently honoured the Chinese Col lection by their visits :—llis Po) , a] Highness the Duke de Bordeaux (secmd visit) and numerous friends, Countess of Westmoreland and party, .Ad m iral Sir E.

CHESTER, Wednesday, Jan. 4. (Before Mr. Juqice WIGHTMAIY.) CHARGE OF MURDER.— Samuel Maddocks, aged 33, was charged with the wilful murder of one Matthias Bailey, g. me • keeper to Mr. Wilbraham, at Cuddington. The Attorney-General, Mr. Townsend, and Mr. Egerton, were for the prosecution; the prisoner was defended by Mr, Temple. It appeared that the prisoner was a tailor, and lived with his brother, who is a farmer, in the vicinity of the place where the murder was committed. The deceased was gamekeeper to Mr. Wilbraham, of De/amerc.ball, and had frequently suspected the prisoner of poaching. On the 28th of July, the deceased went out about 4 o'clock with his gun, and John, the brother of the prisoner, was seen soon after runr.ing without a gun, the deceased running after. It was the habit of the deceased to pull off his coat and throw down his gun on those occasions, to enable him to run faster. The prisoner had a gun, and when the deceased was running after his brother, it was alleged that the primmer came behind the deceased, and di: charged the gun, the charge of _which penetrated the nape of the neck ; he in stantly fell and died. The principal w itness in the case was Joseph Clarke, who, upon examination before the Magistrates, had sworn to have been an eye-witness of the murder. Several witnesses were called on to prove the state in which the body was found. Joseph Clarke then deposed—l am a labourer, residing in Noxley. I remember getting up on the 2801 of July to get turnips; it was about half-past three o'clock. I met Matthias Bailey at. Smallbrook, about four o'clock. I knew Bailey be fore, and I asked him to give me leave to get some turnips from Mr. Wilbraham's field that sp as alongside Camomile-lane, where the murder was eornsoitte.l. Ba.ley and I parted at the turnip field gate. Bailey went along the woodside when he parted from me. I heard the report of a gun shortly after ; it came from the direction in which the body lay. In five minutes I saw Samuel Maddocks coining down the lane into the turnip field. lie had a gun with him. As aeon as he saw me he laid himself down. I was then 100 yards from him, and then I saw Bailey running down the lane, and as he was going past Samuel Maddocks, the latter rose up, clapped his gun to his shoulder, and shot him. He was about two yards past him when the prisoner fired. He was running very fast. He did not run above a yard or two afterwards, but the hedge inter cepted my view, and I did not see any more. The prisoner then jumped over the hedge, and ran down the lane. I did not speak at all. I stopped about five minutes, pulled a few plants, and then went home. I did not say anything about it. I have known the prisoner a great while. I did not attend the inquest. I heard of a reward being offered soon afterwards. I gave no information of what I had seen. I first gave informa tion three weeks ago last Saturday. I did not give informa tion at the time, as I wanted to let it stop till near the assizes. I gave it to Mr. Wilbraham. I went myself. I heard of the Maddockses being taken up about a week after the murder. I have never had any quarrel with either of them. Cross-examined by Mr. TEMPLE.—I never told any person until I told Mr. Wilbraham. I don't usually get up at 3. I got up to pull some plants without leave. I have never shot before 3 o'clock in a morning in my life upon my oath. I will swear I went on picking turnips after I saw the shot fired. 1 walked home and did not speak. I did not go to the place. I saw the gun fired. I know Humphreys; he went with my brother Samuel to Mr. Willbrahaer, and I know the account they gave of it. Ido not know who told me ; my brother did not. They said I did it. I did not tell my brother that the keeper was running after me, and I then charged my gun with shot out of my pocket. 1 did not tell him that the keeper called out my name. I did not say that when the keeper said " You must come and go wilh me," that I then walked down the lane, that the keeper walked first a little, and I then put a cap on, and shot him, and that the keeper dropped when he was shot: On being asked whether he had given information on account of the reward, he said, " I do care about the re ward, it belongs to me already for telling the truth. Ido care about getting myself out of the scrape. lam out of it. I was taken up and confined half an hour in a public-house, and then released." Thomas Pickering deposed to hearing a gun fired about 4 o'clock, and on looking in the direction saw a man come out of the wheat, but could not tell who he was, on account of the distance. He heard a shout from the deceased ; be said, "'That's you, John." He could nol. undertake to swear that it might not be " Joe," instead of " John." James Rowland, a shepherd, saw tracts out of the lane into a turnip field. The prisoner and his nephew were working there. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ......-. Frederick Baker, special high-constable, apprehended the prisoner on the sth of August. On the road the prisoner said he could clear himself from this. He could prove he was never out of his bed until after six that morning. He said that neither himself nor any of his family had borrowed a gun. Three witnesses were then examined, who swore that on going to work that morning at about half-past five o'clock they met the prisoner, and spoke to him. Catherine Lewis remembered the deceased and the prisoner meeting at her house, where they had words. This was not long before he was shot. The deceased d—d the prisoner, and said he was the worst poacher he had about. The prisoner as soon as he was gone, said he would shoot him if ever he came across him. He repeated his threat twice. Mary Robinson examined—The prisoner came to her house to do some tailoring. Whilst there the prisoner saw the de ceased in a field. He said he wanted shooting. Prisoner said he was once lying in a ditch, and the deceased and his dog went over him. If he had had a gun then he would have shot him. Maria Gresby—Recollected John Maddock's daughter coming to her father's house. She asked her to go to Thomas Cook for her. Thomas Conk brought out a bag and gave it to her, and she gave it to Maddoeks's daughter. Thomas Cook remembered the last witness coming to his house. There was a gun in the bag. Maddock's daughter wanted to borrow it for her father. The gun was returned on the 4th of August, by Mary Maddocks, and she said her father was much obliged for it. Samuel Smith, surgeon, deposed to an examination of the body, and finding a gun-shot wound on the nape of the neck. The orifice was as large as a crown .piece. He afterwards made a post modern examination when the body was much decom posed, and extracted two shots from the spinal marrow, between the first and second vertebras. Death, he should think, would be instantaneous, from paralysis. The wound must have been received from behind. James Bland, surgeon to the Macclesfield Infirmary—A per son might run several yards, even if the spinal marrow was divided. This was the ease for the prosecution. Mr. TEMPLE addressed the jury in a long and powerful speech for the prisoner, contending that the evidence was most vague and unsatisfactory ; and, with regard to the witness Clarke, not to be relied upon for a moment. The Learned JUDGE then went into an analysis of the whole of the evidence, commenting upon the discrepancies as they arose. He said, the whole weight of the testimony rested with the witness Clarke, and it was for them to consider what credi bility, if any, attached to his evidence. The jury retired, and were absent for about 20 minutes, during which a statement was made by Mr. Wilbraham, who was in Court, which affected materially the truth of Clarke's statement. Mr. TEMPLE, for the prisoner, hoped his Lordship would interrupt the deliberation of the jury, so as to give the prisoner the benefit of this piece of evidence. Joseph Clarke was recalled. By the JUDGE—Did you go to Mr. Wilbraliam's in Sep tember last ?—I don't know what part of the year September is in, and I never told Mr. Wilbraham that I knew nothing about the matter. Mr. Wilbraham examined—Did the witness come to you in September about the story which his brother had told the night before ?—I think he came voluntarily. I asked him if he knew anything about it, and he replied that he knew nothing about it. The jury then again retired, and, after an absence of an hour, returned with a verdict of Not Guilty. The announcement was received with loud cheers, which were promptly suppressed. John Ready, a collector of rents in Macclesfield, was ar raigned for divers e mbezzlements, of the moneys of James Frost, and others. Ile pleaded Guilty. The Counsel for the defence wished to recommend the pri soner to the merciful consideration of the Court. He had been a Captain in the army for 23 years, arid had risen from the ranks to be Captain and Adjutant by his merits. He had also been a collector for 20 years, and his friends had offered to make good the default. He was 66 years of age.—Sentence deferred. CHARGE OF MURRER AT STOCKPORT.— George Fox, a bai liff at Manchester, was then indicted fur the wilful murder of his wife Charlotte, by kicking and otherwise abusing her, which caused her death. The Attorney-General and Mr. Trafford were for the pro secution ; Mr. Temple was retained fur the defence. It appeared that the deceased was a bonnet-maker, residing in Stockport. On the Ist of December the prisoner went out from home early in the morning, and did not return until ten o'clock at night ; he was somewhat intoxicated. His conduet was brutal. When he came home he said to deceased, " You have been drinking at the Robin Hood." She denied it. He said he would fetch a Bible, and make her swear to it. Dur ing his absence, finding him in:uriated, she ran out of the house, and her mother persuaded him to go to bed. She then came in, thinking the prisoner would be asleep; but he then came down stairs again, and she again left the house, and, being very cold, went into the Robin Hood and called for a noggin of gin. When she was about to return home, the pri soner was waiting for her at the door, and he commenced beating her. She ran away screaming, and went into the house of a neighbour. The prisoner followed and beat her dreadfully, and kicked her brutally several times • and in her ends avours to release herself by going up the steps , he caught hold of her gown and pulled her backwards, an I, falling on the stones, she struck her head, and never afterwards spoke. The prisoner after wards with great brutality would not go for a doctor, and said she was not dead. He hail been heard to say, when an inquiry was made for his wife, that he wished she was stiff. Betty Day, mother of the deceased, proved the whole of these allegations, which were mainly supported by the testi mony of other witnesses. The Jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter, and The Learned Ju DOB sentenced him to two years' imprison ment with hard lt hour. CARMARTHEN AS,SVZ ES, Jun. 1. THE REBECCA [HOTS. His Lordship entered the Court at nine o'clock this morning. Thomas _Band, Eavid Thomas, David Gower, David Williams, and William 7onais, were placed at the bar, charged with riotously and feloniously demolishing a house at Kidwelly. There was a second count in the indictment for a riot only. All the prisoners pleaded '• Not guilty." His Loansotr addressed the jury, and said that this was an indictment that had been found at the quarter sessions and re mitted to the assizes for trial. The case had been carefully examined, and counsel and he aho had read over the deposi tions, and it was thought that the evidence dot not bring home the charge. Ile had therefore been applied to to allow the prosecution to be abandoned. This, he thought, could be done without prejudice to public justice, and the jury would, there-. fore, return a verdict of acquittal. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty accordingly, and the prisoners were discharged. SENTENCES ON THE PRISONERS. John .ones, alias Shony Seybor- fawr, arid David Davies, alias Dui-y- Cantwr, were then placed in the dock. Jones immediately handed up a letter to his Lordship. His LORDSHIP, addressing them, said that the prisoner John Jones bad been convicted of shooting at a fellow-subject with the intention of doing him a grievous bodily harm, and had also pleaded guilty to a charge of riotously and tumultuously demolishing a house. The Court had but too much reason to suppose that he was implicated in other offences of the same character as both of these. The prisoner Davis Davies had pleaded guilty to a charge of demolishing a house with others, and his Lordship knew from his own statement that he had been guilty of many similar outrages. As far as the Court was able to judge from the facts that had been laid before it, they were both strangers to this part of the country. What induced them to visit it his Lordship knew not, but it was rather curious that their appearance was noticed here not long after the commencement of those outrages by which this county had been disgraced. Whatever had been the motives that had actuated them, they appeared to have been willing agents, and had not been seduced into a breach of the law. The prisoner John Jones might feel grateful that the shot he fired did not take a fatal effect, as, if it had, instead of the Court passing on him a sentence of banishment from the country, it would have been obliged to pass the dreadful sentence of a violent death ; but after the proof the poisoner had given of the disregard lie entertained for the sefety of his fellows and the rights of property in this country, it would be utterlef impossible for him ever to return to it. Tfie prisoner David Davies would not be banished for so long a term, but still for a Very Icing isetiod of time ; although pro bably the greater portion of his life would be spent in a foreign land. The sentence of the Court was that John Jones he transported beyond the seas for the term of his ttatutal life, and that David Davies be transported for twenty years. The prisoners, who had been very attentive to the Learned Judge's address, were then removed from the dock, which they left laughing. Philip Phillip and William Phillip were then brought up to receive sentence. His LORDSHIP said, that the prisoners Philip Phillip and William Phillip were now to receive sentence for the very serious offence of which they had been found guiltyesof a riot and assault on the person of a bailiff who came to a distraiti on the premises of William Phillip. It was a sad thing to see such an old man, the father and his son, brought up together to receive sentence for an c•ffenre of this description. It ap peared to l ass been committed, not hastily or unadvisedly, but it seemed that the prisoners prepared to do it deliberately, and even threatened the bailiff on the day before. The sen tence of the Court was, that William Phillip be imprisoned for twelve months and kept to hard labour ; and that Philip Phillip be imprisoned for twelve months. David Evans and James Evans were then placed at the bar to receive sentence. The Juno e said—That the prisoners David Evans anti James Evans were brought before the Court to receive sen tence for a riot—a riot attended with circumstances of very great cruelty to a very old man, who had since in same man ner or other 'lost his life. They armed and disguised them selves, and conducted themselves in such a way as to excite terr ir and alarm in the minds of all peaceable subjects, and pri cretied to drag the old man out of his bed in the dead of the night, and James Evans personally ill•used hint. The jury recommended him to mercy, and his Lordship strongly wr•ished he could think it was on good grounds. One reason was that .lames Evans was a servant, mid might have been influenced by his master. He knew not, however, how the jury could consistently recommend him to mercy on the ground that, as he was a servant, he might have been influenced by his master, and could then recommend the master himself to Mercy. Some of the jurors said they had always heard he possessed a good character. If he had - hitherto puss , ssed a good charac ter, it was, his Lordship feared, because the truth was not known of him. The defence he had set up proved his charac ter anything but good. The exhibition of his poor little trem bling brother and sister in the witness-box was most revolting and shocking. The act of violence was bad enough, but the betrayal of his relatives into ouch a positio❑ was much worse. His Lordship was sadly afraid that people did not look with sufficient abhorrence on the crime of perjury. There was no crime more injurious to society, or mere perversive of the pro per administration of justice. Who could be safe if witnesses would come to a court of justice, and call on God to bear wit ness to a falsehood? 'I he Court did not punish him for this, however, but his Lordship mentioned it to show why he did not take the recommendation to mercy into consideration. The sentence of the Court was, that each of the prisoners be impri soned and kept to hard labour for twelve calendar mouths. David Morgan, James Morgax, George Thomas, John Lewis, and Evan Walters, were arraigned on a charge of bur glariously entering the dwelling-house of Evan Davies, of Llanartliney, and feloniously stealing a sword. No evidence of the felony was offered on the part of the pro. secution, and a verdict of Not guilty against all the prisoners was recorded. The same prisoners were then indicted for the misdemeanor of a riot. All of them, except David Morgan, pleaded guilty. No evidence was offered against him, and he was discharged; the others were also discharged, on being bound over to keep the peace, and to appear to receive judgment whenever called upon. Thomas Davis, a smith, charged with having broken into the house of William Thomas, of Maesbach, Llangendeime, was acquitted. David Jones, a farmer, was charged with attempting to suborn and instigate one Daniel Lloyd to commit wilful and corrupt perjury. 'f here was another count for attempting to suppress evidence. It appeared that Daniel Lloyd was about to give evidence on a charge of assault preferred against John Thomas; the pri soner, David Jones, gave Lloyd a sovereign to withhold his evidence against John Thomas. The prisoner was found guilty of attempting to withhold evi dence, and Ilis LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said the jury had taken a very merciful view of his case. Had they found him guilty of attempting to persuade the witness to commit perjury he would certainly have been transported. It was of the utmost importance to the administration of justice that witnesses should be allowed to state fully and freely the whole truth on their oaths. It was of the utmost importance to the welfare of society that such should be the case. The prisoner had en deavoured to subvert the the due performrnce of that duty, and should be made an example of. He was then sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. James Evans was then placed the dock to receive sen tence for assaulting his wife in Newcastle Emlyn. He was sen tenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve ca lendar months. William Williams was sentenced to six months' imprisonment fora riot at Pentrebach turnpike-gaSe. David Jones was brought up to receive sentence for having sent a threatening letter to Mr. T. Williams, of Llanegwad. His LORDSHIP said that the jury had recommended him to mercy on account of his ignorance or the consequences of send ing such a letter. On a consideration of the case, his Lord • shy could not think that it was well founded. He had com mitted this sort crime before, and had used threats in the pre sence of Mr. H. Lloyd Harris, a solicitor, who very kindly cautioned him. It would be well for him had he attended to his advice. The sentence of the Court was, that he be impri soned for nine calendar months. Bridget Williams was brought up to receive sentence for sending a threatening letter. His Loansuir said that the verdict and recommendation of the prisoner to mercy were very proper and just. She could neither read nor write, and he was disposed to believe that some wicked and ill-natured persons put it into her head to send it, she not knowing the consequences. She was then sentenced to three months' imprisonment. Lewis Henry, for the robbery at Gaterven, near Abergwilly, was sentenced to ten years' transportation. His LORDSHIP observed that the prisoner had had the hardi hood deliberately to tell the policemen that he would commit the robbery. He was unfit for the society of this country, and must therefore be removed. Several prosecutions for breaking down gates and for riots were abandoned. His LORDSIIIP then dismissed the petit jury, and the assizes 'erminated. His Lordship left town that night. this service. If a chimney was not used for S short time th e soot became damp and then adhered like mortar to the sides off the chimney. The machine would not fetch this oft- ass sodn as the chimney was used the cake of soot would Woom' dry and burn like turf , All the soot that lodged in the elt;ew: or holes in chimneys was Mt untouched by the machine, an'a the consequence was that a spark from the fire when cooking was going on was sure to set the chimney in a blaze. Many complaints had been made to him from gentlemen who had suffered from this cause, and this was not the only circum stance, for the fires themselves were now of a more dangerous character than before, and in many instances endangered the safety of the house. Mr. HARDWICK said it would be as well to ascertain whether a larger number of fires had co:cuffed in chimneys since the passing of the new Act than had oecurred within a similar period before the alteration. He wotafl recommend Lacy to procure a return o f the rewards paid by his parish in the two periods, and this would perhaps lead to attenticn in other quar ters to this important subject.

Yesterday a poor famished-looking girl, 18 years of age, was brought before the magistrate by Baylis, the messenger of the Court. On being introduced to the bench, the unfortunate creature burst into tears ; she seemed quite abashed at the stare of the spectators, and sobbed bitterly throughout. Mr. COMBE asked her what the applied for? Applicant-- Indeed, Sir, I am starving, and I know not what to do. Mr. COMBE—What parish do you belong to ? Applicant-- My lather and mother belonged to Clerkenwell. Mr. Cosine—And why did you not apply there? Applicant —And so I did, Sir, but they refused either to relieve or to receive me. Mr. COMM—Where did you sleep last night? Applicant —ln Clerkenwell. Mr. CODInE--.. Where ? Applicant—lna passage ; I had no money to get a lodging. The Clerk said that the Master of the Clerkenwell work house was then in Court, and would probably receive her into into the workhouse at once. Mr. Ilarriett (the master) —Oh I really I cannot say that she will be received. I suppose the overseers examined her case before they refused her. Mr. COMBS—Then let the overseers come here, and OW why they did not receive her. The poor girl, in answer to further questions by the magiso trate, stated that she was employed at slop•work in the Com.' mercial-road, by which she did not earn as much as supported her even with the coarsest food. The season for making these articles was now over, and a great many girls were discharged , who had no mrans of subsistence. She declared she had not tasted a morsel of food from the previous morning. Mr. COMBE, with prompt humanity, ordered her an imme diate supply of nutritious food. The overseers, probably not wishing to encounter the inter-. rogations of the Magistrate, sent a messenger for her, and slur was received into the workhouse. TRADE 01' DUBLIN.—On the Ist of January, last year, the stock of sugar in the bonded warehouses of this port, including East India, had been 18,260 cwt. This year, on the same day, it amounted to 11,440 cwt. , or 6,840 cwt. less. Doting the year 1842, the quantity quoted here gave—frons the West Indies direct 126,333 cwt. ; from the same source , but had coastwise from English and Scottish ports, 31,608 cwt. ; of East India produce, direct, 2,233 cwt. ; coastwise, 17, 963 cwt., giving a total of 178,139 cwt. The receipts for 184 3, from the West Indies direct were 148,900 cwt. ; coastw!set 14,228 cwt. ; East Indies direct, 11,247 cwt. coastwise , 4,213 cwt., making a total of 178,588 cwt., which shows se increase in the receipts of the present year of 449 ewt. only The most pleasing feature of the synopsis is, that the direct ins.' portation of sugar has increased on the last year 31,476 cwt., and the cross-channel trade has receded 31,000 cwt. ; therebl giving promise of the revival of our own direct West India trader and the speedy decay of that branch of it which contributes to, make fortunes for the enterprising natives of the sister kingdom , In reference to this subject, it is to be hoped that the few cargoee of East India which are expected will soon arrive, and therebf preclude the necessity for purchasing, at second-hand, frogs our neighbours on the other side of the Channel, of this de scription of sugar, the consumption of which has increased se much of late, it being required to mix off with the inferior West Indian, the quality of which, coming into this port just now, is very bad indeed. The total deliveries for home cow sumption for the year before last had been 164,382 cwt. ; the, year just ended 168,659 cwt., giving but the trifling increase °I 277 cwt. in favour of 1843, a circumstance which may be cone sidered somewhat extraordinary when, compared with the great improvement in the revenue receipts of the port. The reason why the consumption of raw sugar has not kept pace with the other necessaries of the breakfast and tea-table arises from the improved habits of the people, who are beginning to discover the economy of confining their purchases of the article to what has passed through the hands of the refiner, the trifling differ rence in price being more than trebly compensated for in the superior quality of the latter over the former. All the lineS sugar used in this country is manufactured in England a° Scotland, the duties on which are paid before shipment for lre' POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. William Christey, a Custom-house agent, was brought before the Lord Mayor by Inspector Waller, upon a warrant, charged with having been concerned in frauds committed at the Custom-house. • Mr. Hobler, jun., stated that he appeared by order of the Board of Customs, to prosecute in the case. The prisoner had been employed to enter goods at the Custom-house, and to pay the duty on them, and he stood charged with having paid duty on a smalier amount of goods than had been im ported, and with having charged the duty to He the c fu mr llex t r o n b t ie t r o , those who engaged him to a ct for them. • jun.) had preferred indictments before the grand jury at the Central Criminal Court by order of the Board of Customs, and those bills had been returned, and he subsequently obtained a warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner, which was exe cuted by Inspector Waller. The prisoner was, as the offence with which he was charged was a mkdemeanour, entitled to be released upon giving bail to appear at the next session of the Central Criminal Court for trial. The LORD MAYOR having learned that there were three in dictments against the prisoner, said be should require two se curities of 2001. each upon each indictment, and the prisoner's own security to the amount of 6001. upon all of them. Mr. Alexander Christey, of Muscovy-court, Trinity-square, lighterman, and Mr. George Henning, of Artillery-court, Chiswell-street, were then examined and accepted by Mr. Hobler, jun., as bail. These indictments cannot be tried any where but at the Central Criminal Court. The police gave good evidence yesterday of the wholesome effect of the Lord Mayor's positive directions to them regard ing the omnibus nuisance. Several drivers and conductors of omnibuses were brought before his Lordship, charged by the officers in various districts with having loitered, notwithstand ing the numerous examples which, to their knowledge, have been made within the last eight or ten days. The defendants tried, by every manoeuvre of which they were capable, to get the senalties remitted altogether, or at least mitigated. In all their efforts they were unsuccessful. His Lordship inflicted the full fine upon every man against whom the charge of having loitered was established. Most of the defendants paid. A few pre ferred a taste of Bridewell. THE STATE OF TIIE STREETS AS TO CLEANLINESS.— Several gentlemen, amongst whom were some members of the Court of Common Council, waited upon the Lord Mayor, to inform his Lordship that, notwithstanding the activity displayed by him in urging the due performance of the contract fur keep ing the streets clean, the contractor evidently disregarded all hints, and directions, and threats, and seemed determined to go on in his old way, not caring anything at all about the matter. Mr. Lott, of Cordwainers -ward, said he felt most grateful to the Lord Mayor for the attempts he was making to cleanse and purity the streets of the several wards, and he sincerely hoped that the cleansing and purification would reach his ward, which greatly stood in need of some strong process of the kind. He begged to be allotted to state that a scientific person had called upon him and exhibited some drain pipes, for application to under-draining wood and other pavements, as the mud in 'streets was, from the foundation, when wet and soft, working up between the block of wood or stone, of which the pavement was composed. The Loan MAYOR advised that the plan should be sub mitted to the Commissioners of Sewers, Mr. Bracher. of Coleman-street Ward, said that Moorga'e street, and the lanes and alleys adjacent, had not been touched with broom or the machine tor a considerable time, so that some opinion might be formed of the condition of that neigh bout hood at the present moment. People as they passed along were covered with mud, and the shop windows came in for a pretty good share. The contractor had been applied to, and had promised to de all that was necessary, but he had done nothing. The LORD MAYOR—The best course you can adopt is to summon hini before me. Mr. Bracher—l shall do so, my Lord. lam determined to follow it up.—The suannons was then issued. A/z1 BORO U G S FREE, 71 A summons having been applied for and obtained against the coachman of Count Pollon, the Sardinian Minister, fur re-• fusing to pay the reward adjudged to the firemen who attended to extinguish a fire which occurred at the Sardinian Minister's stables, the following note was received by Mr. Hardwick, the sitting Magistrate, yesterday : " The Sardinian Minister presents his compliments to the sitting Magistrate, at Marlborough-street police-court, and has the honour to acquaint him, that in the exercise of his privilege as a Foreign Minister accredited to this Court, he has ordered his coachman, Richard Doyle, not to obey the summons he has received to appear this day at the Mariborough-street police office, in consequence of the demand made upon him of the sum of 175., the amount of the reward given to Frederick Berryer, engine-keeper, for bringing his engine to Count Pollon's stables on the 27th of December ult.

They had been out b ut a short time ere they saw a bear's track. The dogs were mediately put on the chase, and but a few moments elapse d before they were heard to bark.

Now came the tug of war. Sherman snapped his gun at the bear, several times, but it di not fire. The bear supposing they were poking fun at We l ; made towards them, determined on revenge. He on!, so close that they were obliged to defend themselves with therai guns; and thus while preventing the bear from receiving the to his warm embrace, he seized the muzzle of Mr. Sher i} gun in his mouth. Mr. Sherman snapped his gun again it it exploded, tearing o ff the bear's under saw. The other sle d fired his gun at the bear, killing him instantly. Thus co ded the fearful combat with the hear.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 4.—The Old Theatre Royal, Liverpool, still keeps up its powerful attraction. The houses are literally crowded to suffocation. Mr. Webster, of the Haymarket, has been performing here during the week, with Madame Celeste, in the popular dramas of Victor and Hortense and The Pretty Girls of Slithery, and both have been applauded to the echo. Indeed, the interest excited was intense. The theatre has been open but seven nights, and nearly 18,000 persons have paid to enter it. Buckstone and Mrs. Fitzwilliam appear next week in a new operatic drama, adapted and partly re-written from Donizetti's Opera of La F ille du Regiment, as Mr. Webster returns to London to superintend the revival of The Merry Wives of Windsor, at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, on Tuesday night, in which Madame Vestris and Mrs. Nisbett will enact the Merry Wives. THE MARQUIS OF WESTMINSTER AND THE ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE. We have just heard a rumour, to the effect that the Mar quis of Westminster has sent a very complimentary letter to the Council of the Anti-Corn-law League, accompanied by the munificent subscription of 5001., in aid of the Great League Fund. If this should be true, it will be another very " great fact" for the Times, falling like a thunderbolt amongst the monopolists, who plead the absolute necessity of a continuance of the corn-laws, as a means of providing for their mortgages and marriage settlements. The Noble Marquis is one of the greatest landowners, and most opulent noblemen in the kingdom, and so munificent and practical a protest against the iniquitous corn-laws, as that which he is reported to have made, would, in conjunction with those of Earl Spencer, Earl Fitzwilliam, Lord Ducie, and other distinguished Peers and agriculturists, be the death-knell of monopoly.— Literpool Mercury.

This building, which is sitgoted in the Westminster-road, near the Blind Asylum and Bethlehem Hospital, is rapidly approaching completion. The foundation-stone was laid in April, 1840. It is the largest ecclesiastical edifice devoted to the Roman Catholic worship that has been constructed since the Reformation, when Henry VIII. destroyed and reduced the jnajority of the Catholic establishments. Its external dimensions are 250 long, by 84 feet wide. The height of the tower at the west end at present is 60 feet, but when com pleted its extreme elevation will be 330 feet above the ground level. The tower is moat substantially built of Caen stone, its walls averaging nine feet in thickness. The tower will be surmounted by a steeple, built after the pattern of the spire of Salisbury Cathedral, and will be termi nated by a large cross. The interior height of the church, from floor to ceiling, is 57 feet. The length of the nave in the clear is 160 feet, by 72 feet broad ; the chancel is 40 feet long by 26 feet broad. The chancel window is very large, measuring 30 feet by 18 feet; the mullions are of oak, with rich foliage ; the interstices will be filled with stained glass of various colours, containing an emblematical representation of the history and passion of our Lord. It is the gift of the Earl of Shrewsbury, and will cost 5001. The church contains, in all, 28 win dows. 'the roof is constructed of carved, stained tim ber, which will be stencilled in various colours and devices. It is supported by two rows of fluted stone pillars, consisting of eight in each row. The pillars are eighteen feet in height, and will be finished by capitals elaborately wrought in fine stone, carved in rich foliage, and connected one with another by small intercolumniations, in the form of arches, rising from the capitals to the rafters. The floor of the nave and aisles will be covered with red and blue Staffordshire tiles, each tile measuring six inches in the square. The interior of the Church is not obstructed by galleries ; the only projections are the organ-loft and two small galleries for the choir over the two side doorways at the east end. No pews or closed seats will be allowed, but open benches will be placed down the aisles, constructed with low backs, so as to afford an unobstructed view of the interior. The seats will yield ample accommoda tion for 5,000 persons. The bare cost of erecting the cathedral will be 40,0001., but it is expected that a sum of 100,0001. will be necessary to complete all the contemplated embellishments and improvements. At the east end of the church is a large sacristy, and adjoin ing, at the north-east corner, are cloisters, whick connect the edifice with a presbytery, containing a spacious dining-room, and affording accommodation for several priests. Abutting on this is a convent for the Sisters of Mercy, and a school for 300 children. The convent is fitted up with kitchens, refectory, dormitories, a small chapel with a belfry, and will furnish an abode for thirteen Sisters of Mercy, whose charity and kind offices will be distributed indiscriminately among the members of all religious denominations who may need assistance. The convent, with its accompanying buildings, will cost 7,0001. The entire edifice is built from the design of Mr. Pugin, under the superintendence of Mr. Myers, who, during the last ten years, has been engaged in the construction of 37 churches. The cathedral will be consecrated and opened for public worship in the autumn of the present year ; but a considerable time must necessarily elapse before the great tower and spire shall be completed. The subscriptions to wards this great undertaking have, for the most part, been raised in the provinces through the exertions of the Reve rend Mr. Doyle, who is the principal officiating priest. The Earl of Shrewsbury and the late Mr. Benjamin George Hodges have been the principal contributors. A considerable sum has also been subscribed by the poorer classes inhabiting the parish of St. George. The names of the King of Sardinia, the King of Bohemia, and other foreign Potentates, also figure largely in the list of contributors. A liberal donation is ex pected from Louis Philippe, the King of the French, who, during his stay in England, was a resident of St. George's parish. The cathedral is the largest structure in Great Bri tain that has been erected by voluntary subscriptions. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. EAST INDIA SHIPANG.
