London ; A. H. Baily and Co., 83, Cornhill. Prithee do not reject us Till you've read our Prospectus. Early in November will be published, what every impartial in- dividual will admit is much wanted in the Irish Metropolis, a really Honest, Able, and LIBERAL WEEKLY JOUR- N AL, which it has been determined shall be called H E WOR L D Now that we have sat down to draw up our Prospectus we do solemnly protest that we would have given a considerable sum could we, by. any means, have induced Lord Brougham and Viscount Palmerston to perform the duty for us, by way of proxy. The one would have described all that " THE WORLD" ought and willbe, a thousand times better than we can ever hope to do ; while the other would have en shrouded all our errors and weaknesses in so murky a mantle of mystification, that they would have escaped the " audax et vigilans" scrutiny of the keenest customer in the New Police. Failing in our attempt either to enlist the ex-Chancellor, who was in hot haste to meet the hero of Waterloo at Dover, or the Prince of Protocols, who assured us that " he had not a paragraph in him," the last having been expended to complete the piscatory portion of the Queen's Speech, we had some notion of applying to Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, but feared he would be too Whiggish and classical. Then we turned our eyes to Eaton-square, and thought of placing ourselves under an obligation to Sir William Molesworth, but changed our mind, lest his Durham politics should creep through a transparent veil of Radicalism. Tom Wyse we were half in clined to solicit, but he wouldhave been rather heavy, and had enough to do in Waterford. Richard Sheil had the next place in our consideration, bat his style would have been too spark ling and light for us ; and, moreover, we knew that ha was busied not only ia. preparing a patriotic address to the electors of Tipperary, but also in obtaining some knowledge of the tallow and molasses trade out of M'Culloch's " Commercial Dictionary." Having at length seen that we must ourselves put en our apron, and take up our tools, for the due execution of the un dertaking, we were fairly bothered deciding whether the affair should be extremely long and dull, or uncommonly short and merry. Conscience whispered that we should speak the truth, but we remembered that the philosopher of Malmesbury has denounced all truth-telling public writers as dangerous to the safety of a corrupt and tyrannical commonwealth, and has re commended that both them and their lucubrations should be bundled off to some comfortable and hospitable country, like Australia or New Zealand. Our disposition and interest prompted us to treat a grave matter with becoming serious ness ; but then the advice of Pliny flashed upon our memory, (Ut in vita sic in studiis pulcherrimum, &c.) where he recom mends us to mingle mirth and gravity in our studies. We feared to be vivacious and pointed, lest we should be condemned as frivolous and slanderous, and suffer that public displeasure which has ever been visited upon unhappy authors since the time that the Athenians burned the books of Protaguras, and the Romans hunted Diogenes and his companions out of their city, for telling more than they wished to hear. " Human Natur," as Dick Stapleton phrases it, would have inclined us to be a little vain, thereby following the counsel of Lord Bacon, who informs us that " the fame of Seneca and Cicero was kept fresh by their boasting, which seems to be like varnish, that not only makes wood shine, but last ; but we drew ourselves up, and, upon reflection, decreed that self-praise, so far as we were concerned, should be monopolized by the com pounders of Morison's Pills, and Holloway's Poor Man's Oint ment. Here, then, we were at a dead-lock, and seizing our pen, first wrote a furious letter to Dr. Dionysius Lardner, com plaining that science had not yet discovered some piece of me chanism that might manufacture Prospectuses of all sorts and sizes by steam—then set about inditing one after the good old fashioned plan. The Amphitryon thinks the choicest blessing of life a re cherche repast; the exquisite prizes above all things a well-cut coat, or an unobjectionable cigar ; the Ennuyee pants for the last new novel, or the opera ; the Rational Man al one loves an honest and clever newspaper. But where is he to find it? Most assuredly not among the Liberal Journals of Dublin ; for we, not long ago, went over the catalogue of the Liberal Me tropolitan prints with the talented Mr. George Robins, who confessed, with a yawn and a sigh, that beginning with the oldest, and leaving off with the youngest,—" the chief of the Irish Press," (a tribute, by the way, paid to our own humble exertions by the honest Sheffield Iris)—" he never had the misfortune to have submitted to his inspection so bad a lot, or one which would furnish such scanty materials for the puff ex traordinary." Spenser tells us that the Dublin Liberal News papers, or " carryers of newes," in his time were " fooles and notable rogues." Tom Moore, if we are to believe Willis, has described the present generation as downright blockheads; while Mr. O'Connell, by way of driving home the nail, designatesthc whole concern " A PALTRY PRESS." These be hard lines, as the sailors say, but " non noster hic sermo." It will now, we imagine, be admitted that something in the shape of an able and hottest Journal is required to " stop the gap." To put such an intellectual vehicle upon the road, we think, would be considered Quixotic, even by so speculative and excellent a judge of such matters as Mr. Peter Purcell. " A Party is necessary," exclaim the Tory parson, and the Liberal placehunter, "or else you will reckon but few readers." Upon this point we join issue, and hope, for the honour of civilized humanity, that as the Irish public maintain a sufficient number of newspapers to tell them falsehood, they will vouchsafe to sup port one which, at all risks, is determined to announce to them the truth. " All that mortal art hath wrought, In our cell returns to nought ; The molten gold returns to clay, The polish'd diamond melts away. All is altered, all is flown— Nought stands fast but truth alone." In Politics we shall be Radicals, and devoted to the People utterly regardless of the smiles or frowns of the select and interested few. Such a course, we know, is always perilous and often profitless— " Hard is his task who edits—thankless job— A weekly journal for the factious mob ; Alike undone, or if he praise or rail ; For this affects his safety, that his sale He sinks, at last, in luckless limbo set— If loud; for libel—and if dumb, for debt." have ctnisdecre ofd We shall always be happy , when we can agree with those lemiffibeeneriteyhwt;hobse,urhtvioew,Ae.ee,veasrhhdatlllmi ey nado m et aathydanvsooyeam te e s rr f , ren dered efficient the a wait-a-while policy which holds out promises to s ufferin g millions which are never likely to be realized— tesetai that e " My father, Time, is weak and grey, With waiting for a better day, We shall judge the Government by its ac.a, and shall oppose Oremier, be he Whig, Tory, or Radical, when we find him averse to the removal of the remnant of the Penal Code, which, absurdly enough, forbids the appointment of a Roman Catho lic Chancellor ;—a Colonial Secretary. when be resists the Ballot; —or even so amiable and enlightened a Statesman as the present Irish Secretary, when he seems half disinclined to grant an increase of 'popular privileges to the Irish people. Conscientiously believing that Ireland never can become gene rally happy and contented until she again has the advantage of a DOMESTIC LEGISLATURE, we shall persevere, by arguments and facts, to advocate the REPEAL OF THE UNION, as not more beneficial to Ireland than the Sister Kingdom. We will bring into the field the heavy artillery of reason, aided by the light brigade of wit and humour. We shall be staid with the steady, and mirthful with the light-hearted. Pursuing "the even tenor of our way," we shall " run on glittering like a brook in the sunshine," " From grave to gay, from lively to severe." The Statesman will find us political, and the Lawyer will discover that we know a thing or two ; the Physician shall proclaim us lovers of the healing art ; the Sportsman shall learn that we can clear a wintry with him. " THE WORLD' to the Lady of Fashion shall be as a Court Gazette, and the Agriculturist shall not have to oomplain of our negligence ; the interests of the Merchant and Manufacturer shall receive our close attention ; the United Service will find us, as of old, at tached to the cloth ; we shall " take our garland and singing robes about us" with the Poet ; visit the studio of the Artist ; and deal our impartial criticism at the Theatre. Every number of " THE WORLD," in richness and variety will be a Magazine ; and arrangements have been made to embellish its columns with sketches from some of the best pen cils of the day. 41 THE WORLD" will be a large quarto, printed with su perior type upon first-rate paper, and will be published every Saturday morning, with a late edition for the country, con taining all the London, Dublin, and Provincial Intelligence up to the dispatch of the evening mails.

A SCOTCH CLAIM.—This was a case that would have kept Dr. Johnson's spleen against the Scotch warm for the term of his natural life ; it was an awfu' im peachment of the hospitality of " the men ayont the Tweed." Donald was a yeast-seller, with a countenance from which a very good make-shift portrait of Mr. Joseph Hume might have been sketched—supposing all the " likenessess" of that eminent Cockeronian were lost to the political world. Patrick was a good-natured, rol licking, metropolitan policeman, about six feet in height, straight in the back, with the palms of his hands look ing behind him (seaman fashion), and it required a nice eye to say which his hands had been most intimate with —the rigging of a man•of-war, or a good shillelah— doubtless a police-truncheon was not lost in them. COMMISSIONER—What is your claim for, Mr. Donald M'Christie? Donald—lt's a claim for meat and drink, and pro tection,. a may say, to this young mon. It's a case of vera greet ingratitude. Patrick Doolan and my sis ter's son, Sandy M'Cree, cam fra Elgin in the winter that's gone ; they had na a baubee when they cam to my boos, and gin a had na compassion on 'em, a dinna ken what would ha coom on 'ern. Weel ye maun ken a gie Patrick Doolan o' my hospitality ; a am but a puir boddy, but he had the best 0' ma boos, I can assure ye. A exerted my interest to geet Doolan into I the police ; a git 'em in and mad a mon o 'ern, and non a has the ingratitude to say nay to the sillcr a oos. COMMISSIONER—Do you_ admit the debt, Patrick? "By the mother of Moses, and I jist don't," said Patrick, I'll not deny the hospitality, bekase my con• science won't let me do the likes o' that. I owe you (turning towards the plaintiff) nothing, barring the hos pitality, Donald, and I've paid for you that, and that's God's thrutb." Donald—Ye are but an ungrateful mon, Patrick Doo lan. A could na a treated ye mair kindly had ye been my ain bluid. A gie 'em the bannocks fra my own table warm in the cauld winter morning. Patrick Doolan—Blazes, Donald, but yer mighty sharp entirely on me ; yez got the worth of the Scotch ,cakes out of me, any how, that you did every winter's morning. Did'nt he ? ow wow—(turning to and snap ing his fingers at the Commissioners, amidst great laughter.) He worked the bare life out of me at the yeast. Just ask him to kiss the cross to that same, if you Oise. COMMISSIONER—It appears, Patrick, that you have a set-off against this claim, in the shape of work done by you for Mr. Donald M'Christie. Patrick—Arrah your worship is it work you say ? Hasn't he dhragged me out of many a fine sleep when I was after forgetting the cares of the world, and when I hadn't had so much as'd have physick'd a snipe for my male over night? Donald—That's na correct—the yeast, the gentlemen ken, works itsel. Patrick (indignantly)—The divil! Is it after joking wid me that ye are ? Gentlemen, I wont be after de nying the hospitality ; I've a thankful ricolliction of the same, bekase I wouldn't have known what to do without it. It was very kind of him, so it was. The Holy Mary thank ye for it Donald ; but ye haven't tould the gintlemen, my side of the case. Ye've been very bosh pitable, Donald, as ye said, but ye haven't been just-- Donald (hastily)—A consider it is for ye to be just, and gie me the due o' my hospitality. Patrick—Faith arid it isn't hospiolity that we pay for in ould Ireland ; but, gintlemen, I'll tell yer the clane truth. Doolan then proceeded to detail to the Commissioners the history of his connection with his "Scotch cousin." Sandy Macree, the nephew of Donald, had introduced him (Patrick) to the latter, who had very kindly given him his board. In return for such board, he (Patrick) had assisted him in making yeast, being frequently called from his comfortable lodging at Mrs. Daly's, at seven, six, and even five o'clock in the winter's morning, to go and break the ice and get the water ready for Donald. " I gave him plenty of work for the males," said Patrick, " and divil a word was said of paying for the same one side or t'other." Donald—Hoot awa, mon ; didn't I ye money to gie the inspector a wee drap o' whisky ? Patrick—Faith and ye did. " Patrick," sis he, "ye must give the inspector a dhrop." " Yer right," sis I. " Here's a fourpenny bit," sis he, " and give him a nagg ;" and that was all I had of him. Donald declared that he had lent Patrick 6s, and denied that he had ever called him out of bed in a winter's morning to work at the yeast. Patrick took " the mother of Moses" to witness that he bad never had the 6s, and called Mrs. Daly, his landlady, a well•spoken respectable-looking woman, who swore positively to M'Christie's having frequently called Doolan from his bed in order to go and work at his pre mises. The COMMISSIONER said the case was a very despi cable one on the part of Mr. Donald M'Cbristic, who appeared desirous of taking credit to himself for hospi tality, which had been amply repaid in hard work. They (the Commissioners) should dismiss this case, and they were sure that Donald's countrymen would cry shame upon him. Donald was astounded, and looked " as bright as Beechy Head in a fog." He slunk out of Court reckon ing up " the tottle of the whole" that he had lost in su mmoning Patrick, and forswearing hospitality not only to all Irishmen from Cape Clear to Carrickfergus, but to all men of all nations. " Whisht with yer mulvathenng about hospitality,' said Patrick. " Don't ye see the disgrace ye've brought upon yer country. Be quiet, Donald, be quiet, and don't be after saying another word about it, and the devil's the word any soul shall hear from Pat Doolan." But Donald refused to be comforted, and muttered away till he was out of hearing. " That man," said one of the COMMISSIONERS, pointing to Donald as he slunk through the outer door, " is a disgrace to his country." " There are good and bad of all sorts," said a second COMMISSIONER. "So there are," observed a third, " and he's one of he worst of the —' ll " Call on the next case," said the CHAIRMAN. LONDON ADJOURNED SESSIONS. APPLICATION REFUSED FOR THE TRANS- FER OF A LICENSE. A great deal of curiosity was excited by the expectation of the case of Mr. Sharpe, who it was known intended to apply for the transfer of the license of the Woolpack Ta vern, in the Minories, from Mr. Silverton to him. It will be recollected that the Woolpack was the only public house that was opened in the City in defiance of the New Act, on Sunday morning, the 25th of August; and the Lord Mayor not only fined the defendant, but said that he would oppose the transfer on the Bench. Mr. Chambers, the counsel, and Mr. Hobler, jun., the solicitor, appeared in support of the application. Mr. Sharpe, a short time back, purchased of Mr. Sil - verton, the proprietor of the Woolpack Tavern, the lease of that house for the sum of 1,2001., and the stock and fixtures for about 500/. ; and, in the early part of August, took the actual possession of the premises, although, as the license was not transferred, Mr. Silverton had continued there day by day for the purpose of carrying on the busi ness, a deception necessarily practised to avoid the penal ties of selling without a license. Alderman FAREBROTIIER asked why the petition for the transfer was not signed by the Alderman and the other authorities of the Ward Mr. Chambers said, that after what had taken place before the Lord Mayor, it was considered proper not to apply to the authorities. The LORD MAYOR said, that the wilful violation of the law in this case more seriously affected the Ward authorities than him, and that the inconvenience he sus tained was inconsiderable compared with those to which these authorities were subjected by the conduct of the ap plicant, for the confusion and disturbance caused by that conduct were indescribable. -------- Alderman FAREBROTIIHR suggested the propriety o waiting for the presence of Alderman Johnsos, the Alder, man of Portsokcn Ward, in which the house was situated. _ Mr. Chambers proceeded to argue in favour of the ap plication, and endeavoured to extenuate the conduct of his client, who, he declared, erred from ignorance and confusion, arising from mixing up the Act of George the Second with the New Police Act. Mr. Sharpe had closed his door at the usual hour on Sunday morning in obe dience to the Act, which he considered to be still in force. The LORD MAYOR said he did not know how Mr. Sharpe would get over the notice which was given to him on the Saturday night, notwithstanding which he opened his door, and gave encouragement to a most disgusting scene of riot and confusion, in the midst of which the officer in the performance of his duty was hissed and hooted. Mr. Chambers admitted that his Lordship's observa tions had great force ; but he hoped that the offence, whe ther arising from the applicant's mistaken opinion of the provisions of the Act, or from the false construction of his friends and advisers, would not be visited with such severity as the refusal of the transfer, particularly as so large a sum had been given for the lease. The LORD MAYOR said that an exceedingly injurious s . ls'em existed of transferring licenses without submitting to the Magistrates whether the persons to whom the transfers were sought to be made were proper persons to be selected as publicans. It was time that such a practice should be put an end to. It was erroneous to suppose, in the event of the refusal of the transfer, that Mr. Sharpe would be a loser, as he must have purchased the house on condition that it should be transferred. Mr. Chambers put in a petition, signed by 141 of the inhabitants of the immediate neighbourhood. The LORD MAYOR said he should not wonder if the pe tition had been signed by 500, as, no doubt, all who were served on the Sunday morning would be happy to express their obligations to so courteous a person. Mr. Chambers said that the class of p e rsons who signed Beans. POLICE IN TELLIGENCE. G UILD HAIL. A working man named George Waite, was brought before Mr. Alderman COPELAND, charged with being drunk. Charles Thorpe, a city policeman, said he took the pri soner into custody for being drunk, and swearing aloud on Snow- bill, about twelve o'clock, the preceding night. Mr. Alderman COPELAND, who is determined to enforce the New Police Act vigorously, asked who he was swearing at? Thorpe said, at an oysterman, refusing to pay him fortsome oysters he had eaten. Mr. Alderman COPELAND asked if his language to the oysterman was likely to lead to a breach of the peace? Thorpe said it was. He was damning the man's eyes. Mr Alderman COPELAND asked the prisoner if be denied being intoxicated and swearing at the oysterman? The prisoner intimated he could not. Mr. Alderman COPELAND asked how he got his living ? Prisoner said be was a printer—a pressman. Alderman CorELAND---Earning about 40s. a-week. Prisoner replied no, not above 335. Mr. Alderman COPELAND said, he fined him 40a., or to be imprisoned seven days, for being drunk, and using abusive language, whereby a breach of the peace might have been occasioned. The clause impo sing a penalty on this offence was the best in the whole Act. Formerly when a man used bad language to another, the officer could not interfere because it was merely words. Then if the man who was abused was provoked to strike the other, he was apprehended for the assault for . breaking the peace. Now, man_ who used the prcvoting lan guage was c-onsiderekihe breaker of the pea-e. and the affair w'ss stopped :.-fore any breach of the peace oc curred. The printer said the option the Magistrate had given was no option with him, for he cou!d not pay the money, and therefore must go to gaol. The prisoner was committed. Inspector Martin asked how he was to dispose of poor people found destitute in the streets in the night time. Some time since they were received at all hours of the night, at the union workhouse in West street, Smith field, but lately the watchman had refused to admit them, or awaken the master. Seeing Mr. Miller, the re lieving officer, in the room, he had thought it a proper time to mention the business. Mr. Miller said an additional wing was being built, and the temporary receiving house for casuals had been pulled down. Mr. Alderman COPELAND said if one place had been re moved another must be provided. It was not new to him to hear of a master of a workhouse saying he must not have his rest broken in the night time for any body. The destitute - paupers must be taken in at all hours of the night, and the next time a case was refused the refusal must be reported to the Magistrate, and the pauper taken care of at the gaol. BOW-STREET. On Saturday Mr. James Weston, the landlord of the White Swan, in Earl-street, Seven Dials, appeared to a summons charging him with having unlawfully refused to admit Inspector Musgrove of the F division of police, to his house, he well knowing that he belonged to the police force.—The defendant pleaded not guilty. Inspector Musgrove stated, that at a quarter past twelve o'clock on last Saturday night, or,rather Sunday morning, be went, accompanied by two policemen, to the defendant's house, and knocked at the door, demanding admission. No one answered, and after knocking several times, he looked through the keyhole of the door, and saw the de fendant in the act of pouring some water from a tin can into a glass, and, and, as he believed, mixing a glass of gin-and-water. A man was standing by him at the time. He renewed the knocking, and at length the defendant came to the door, and said, " I can't admit you—l am just going to bed." Witness then told the defendant that he was an inspector of police, and again demanded admis sion : upen which the defendant said, " I can't help that ; my house is closed for the night, and I shall not open the door again for any ono ; lam just going to bed." Policeman F 13 confirmed the statement of his Inspec ter, and said that he also looked through the keyhole, and saw the defendant pouring some beer from a tin can into a glass. There was also another policeman, named Pocock, who looked through the keyhole, and saw all that took place. The defendant, in answer to the charge, stated that on the night in question he closed his doors before 12 o'clock, and at that time the only persons in his house were himself and two lodgers, and they ail three retired to rest at ten minutes past twelve o'clock. He never heard any person knock at his door, and he denied most solemnly that be had gone to the door at all after twelve o'clock, or answered the police in the manner they had stated ; in fact, be was con vinced they bad never applied for admission to his house at all, and that the charge against him originated in spite. He then called Thomas Reed, who stated that he lodged in the defend. ant's house. On the night in question he went to bed a few minutes after twelve o'clock. The other lodger and the landlord went to bed at the same time. The doors were closed at twelve o'clock, and even the lodgers were not served with anything after that hour. Mr. Simpson, another lodger in the defendant's house, gave similar evidence. Mr. TWYFORD said that he could not receive the evi dence of the defendant's witnesses in opposition to the dis tinct and positive testimony given by the policemen, and therefore he should fins the defendant twenty shillings and costs. On hearing this decision, the defendant, with some ye hemence, said, " Well, if I had bribed the police, as some of my neighbours have done, by giving them a sovereign each, this charge would never have been brought against we. It is done out of mere spite." Mr. TWYFORD (addressing the defendant)— As you have thought proper to make that observation, I rrcal the judgment I have pronounced, and adjourn the further con sideration of this case until Tuesday, on which day I de sire that Pocock, the other policeman, may be in at. tendance, and if his evidence confirms that already given, you may depend upon it that my judgment will be very different from that I have just revoked. The case was ac cordingly postponed until Tuesday. Mr. Reed, the landlord of the Old Cheshire Cheese, in Marquis-court, Drury-lane, a very old and respectable ta vern, to which gentlemen have been in the habit of resort ing to procure refreshment after leaving the theatres, ap peared to a summons, charging him with keeping open his house after twelve o'clock on Saturday night. Inspector Black of the F division of police stated that be went to the defendant's house at half-past twelve o'clock on Saturday night, and on entering the parlour, found seven persons sitting there drinking and smoking. Cross-examined by Mr. Stuart, the defendant's solici tor—They were all respectable persons; the bar was closed and the gas extinguished. Did not know whether any attempt had been made to get them out of the house. Mr. Stuart, in answer to the charge, said that his client was as anxious as any person could be to comply with the provisions of the Act of Parliament, and on the night in question closed his doors at twelve o'clock, shut up the bar, extinguished the gas-light, and gave notice to his customers in the parlour that they must immediately retire, informing them of the consequence to himself if they did not do so ; but they laughed at him, and declared that they would not "budge an inch" until "they had finished their glasses." He, of course, did not like, as he knew they were all re spectable persons, to take them by the collar and turn them out, as he well know that he would lose their custom in future if he did, and the police were not authorised to assist him in clearing the house unless there was a disturb ance there. Under these circumstances he did not know bow to act.—He then called the defendant's sister and the bar-maid, both of whom confirmed his statement. Mr. TWYFORD, however, said that the defendant was bound to clear the house y twelve o'clock on Saturday nights, and fined him in the penalty of 40s. and costs. The money was immediately paid. Mr. Adolphus, the barrister, was summoned by two cabmen, each of whom charged him with refusing to pay them the sum of fourpence. It appeared that they had driven the Learned Gentleman from the Strand to his house in Gower-street, for which he refused to pay them , more than eightpence, they demanding one shilling as their fare. Mr. Adolphus said he knew the distance was only a mile from the middle of the Strand, having formerly paid for having the ground measured; indeed he was so parti cular that he never called a cab till he got within the pre scribed limits ; but if, as on the present cases, the drivers chose to follow him from the other end of the Strand, and then invite him to ride, he was not liable to pay the differ ence beyond the mile ; in fact, he had ridden the distance so often, and was so well known to the fraternity whocon gregated opposite the New Church as being only an c a lf i c penny customer, that on one occasion when he appro h d the stand all the cabs were suddenly driven off. On other occasions he had met with the greatest abuse. melatsuwrd.aseultimately arranged that th e g round should be THAMES POLICE. MANSLAUGHTER. —A WOMAN KILLED BY HER ateSBA —Joseph Aiiley, a coal whipper, was placed SBA bar before Mr. BALLANTINE, charged with causing the death of his wife, by kicking her in the stomach, on the 26th of June last. He was a lso charged on the Coroner's in • lion with manslaughter. The circumstances were made public at the time, from which it appeared that the pri soner r eturned home one night at a late hour fromhs his o a s e blow, and ef work, and finding his wife in a state of intoxication, a q uarrel ensue d, and he gave the unfortunate woman house u constable from which she died.

Magis trate committed him to Newgate on the CoroneTr'hs UNION-HALL. Mrs. Mary Brooks, the divorced wife of Mr. Brooks, the extensive linendraper, of Blackman-street, Southwark, was brought before Mr. JEREMY for creating a disturbance in front of his shop. Mr. Brooks stated that since the unfortunate olcurrence of Miss Moyes jumping from the Monument, until it was ascertained who the unfortunate individual was, his house had been one scene of disorder, in consequence of a report that it was his divorced wife who had precipitated herself from thence. She, however, had come in front of his house notwithstanding what had passed a very few days pre viously at another police-office, and made such a noise and disturbance as to collect a crowd. She was evidently under the influence of liquor at the time. Mr. JEREMY observed that it was a lamentable case ; that be was quite aware from the number of times she had appeared before him, she was thoroughly lost to all sense of duty, that he feared it would be useless to attempt to render her any service. There was no doubt her father was a highly respectable man, but how could be receive her amongst the other me mbcrs of his family after she had disgraced herself, and had been divorced from her hus band; and, in addition to which, she was an inveterate drunkard, the commencement of her ruin and degradation. Mr. Brooks made some observae ions upon the fal3ehood of the statement the defendant had made when lately at another police-office. He produced a copy of the divorce' obtained against his wife for a breach of conjugal rights, and said that although he was absolved from all further co nnection with such a woman, yet that he had given, and was still disposed to advance, as much money as would take her to her family, in order that he might not be subjected to the disagreeable annoyance cf her coining in a state of in toxication before his door and causing a disturbance. The defendant, who is extremely well-looking, and was perfectly sober when brought into Court, begged to be forgiven, and said that she should not trouble Mr. Brooks any more if she were permitted to go th's time. Mr. Brooks, however, said that she had made so many promises of this kind, that he had no reliance in them. The Magistrate said that he should consider her a single woman after the prosecution of the divorce, and require her to enter into her recognizances for her good behaviour for the next three months. TESTIMONIAL TO MR.ROWLAND HILL. The inhabitants of Wolverhampton have taken the lead in presenting to Mr. Hill a testimonial expresstve of their gratitude for his successful exertio ns is obtain- ' ing for the entire community so great a benefit as the uniform penny postage is calculated to confer. On Sa turday last a most respectable meeting of gentlemen connected with the principal commercial houses, and other influential inhabitants of the neighbourhood, met at the Assembly Rooms in that town—when Mr. Hill was introduced to the meeting by Dr. Delivered and 1 the chair taken by J. Weaver, -"Zsq., who dan eloquent address explanatory of the object for which they were assembled, expressing the strongest anticipations of its salutary results both on the na tional character and its public revenues, and con veyed to Mr. Hill the thanks of the inhabitants of Wolverhampton, in which all men of all parties cordially concurred, for the intelligence, labour, and perseverance he had shown in the cause, and which were now crowned with success. Mr. Weaver, in the name of the meeting, presented the testimonial, which was manufactured at the Soho Plate Works, and consists of an elegant can delabrum, weighing one hundred and seventy-four ounces, convertible into an epergne, and which, when placed upon a plateau, produces an excellent effect. The candelabrum consists of a fluted column, ornamented with foliage and flowers. The column is surmounted by four richly decorated branches, the centre ornament consisting of a globe resting upon acanthus leaves, which supports the figure of a winged Mercury, inoJelled from I the celebrated statue of John o f Bolo g na. The figure \ bears in one hand the caduceus, and in the other a letter. The base is divided into four compartments, one of which bears the arms of Mr. Hill, and another the following inscription : " To Rowland Hill, al., presented by the Inhabi tants of Wolverhampton, is testimony of their high sense of his public services, as the Founder and able Advocate of the Plan of a Univeesal Penny Postage. A.D. 1839." Mr. Hid, in a neat speech, acknowledged the com pliment paid to him by the inhabitants of Wolverhamp ton ; and, after a short address by the Rev. S. Hunter, who dwelt on the improvement which the alteration was calculated to confer on the social condition of the middling and poor classes of society, by facilitating the intercourse of mind with mind, the meeting broke up after three hearty cheers to Mr. Hill. LAUNCH OF THE ALECTO. This fine steam-ship which was launched on Saturday weekiat Chatham Dock-yard, is of 200 horse power, and of the following dimensions : ft, in.

The day of the launch was very fine, and a great number of persons were assembled, being the day after theChatham races,and every one appeared delighted at the fine style in which she was launched, and for the attention paid to the visitors, even to the wives and families of the workmen. She was taken into dock the same day and coppered the next, and will be sent to Messrs. Seawa:d's factory to have her engine taken on board in the course of the week. THE CHARTI S TS AND THE CORN LAWS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sits,—l read in various Chartist newspapers that the " Corn-law farce" is about to be revived by the middle classes, and that the Chartists who have hitherto most. justly opposed it, are now to yield in base submission, and take a part in it. Nothing can be more unjust ; it the middle classes want cheap bread, let them join the Chartists to procure a just Government who will abo lish all bad laws, but let it never he said that we were glad to join the enemy. If the middle classes do not know the effects of an infernal Government, or, indeed, feel the curse of such, we do, and are therelore deter mined to endure it no longer ; besides, what benefit - Pould arise from the repeal of this one Act ? Would it be fol lowed by a total abolition of the murderous, " polgoweel soup," " coarser food," " painkss extitrtion," bastile god felon Poor-law ; useless standing armies ; base, brutat;. and blood-thirsty police ? No ; I deny it. Whoiskhee then, that is so lest to his own and his fellow-country men's interests as to demand a repeal of " the accursed Corn-laws" (as they are justly termed) ere he has a voice in the Legislature ? Who is he that, after having received so many base and unmerited reproaches, and ill-treatment from those infamous upholders, the middle classes, that would be so base as to bend before such oppressors, and cry " here we are, use us for your ser vice ;" if such a fellow there be, let him be denounced as a turncoat and traitor, his actions being a sufficient reason for it. On with the Charter then ! Let the middle classes repeal the Corn-laws, if they can, but do not join them ; they boast of being more learned than we are, and, therefore, they can plead and agitate better, and the company will be more select ; besides their meetings are " lawful," and the police do not interfere with them, and therefore they need no aid that we could give them, nor, indeed (atter such base conduct as they have shown to us), should they have it if they did ? They now begin to feel the disastrous consequences of not joining the Chartists. Exclusive dealing, in creased police rates (owing to the infamous Po lice Bills), Bastile rates, rural police, and many other things, are bringing them down by de grees, and they cry for cheap bread be cause they oannot furnish money for enormous taxation ; let them, how ever, console themselves with this reflection, that it was themselves that put such unprincipled " men" in office, and to them also we are indebted for the imprisonment are of upwards of one hundred Chartists, all of whom suffering dreadfully at the pre sent moment, for no oth er crime than that of speaking against tyrants. Let a ll these things be taken into consideration, and where is the Chartist that would be so base as to assist in a repeal of the Corn-laws until the Charter becomes, as it shall be, " the law of the land." A CHARTIST. On Friday morning, about one o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. R. Lance, a dyer, is Silver-street, facing the new Church, Greenwich. The fire originated in the shop, but by what means is not at present ascertained. The alarm having spread, a great number of people shortly congregated, although at that early hour i n th e m orn i ng , anrendered all the assistance they could. The only engine which arrived was the one belonging to the Royal Hospital, which could not be worked through the want of a supply of water ; fortunateJy, however, although the main pipes were not servieeable,tke pump in the Spread Eagle-yard, belonging to Messas Wheatley, was not deficient, and with the aid of their men, w.ho exerted themselves to the utmost in supplyinr , water by nearly thirty buckets , wh ich were handed from one to the other, together with the able and effective assistance of the R division of police, whose arrange were of the most admirable and j ndicious descriptio m t he ts destructive element was got under in about an hour. Mrs. Lance was first disturbed by a suffocating oppression, and, fortunately awoke her husband in s ufficient time to give the alarm, but in doing so he nearly sacrificed his wife and two children and his wife's s ister, for he proceeded to the front of the house and let in the air, which cowed the fire to burn more furiously. as fra his co i n k s i t n ric fo to r r th a e t the first S timeur- re Zoolog i calyOn Friday Gardens the i n one piece.
