T 0 THE FARMERS OF WILTS. (From the Wiltshire Independent.) have read in the Wiltshire Independent, and have litnrd from other quarters, such instances of gross oppression and flagrant injustice towards agricul tural labourers, made use of by their employers to ourapel them to sign petitions in favour of the corn ws, and I feel so forcibly, not only the iniquity, kit also the folly and impolicy of such conduct, that I‘annot refrain from addressing these lines to you gm the subject. Wail-authenticated cases and the names of parties Os in my possession, but I do not by any means ish to expose them. It is very possible, indeed, if ese practices are persevered in, that it may become cessary, hereafter, to do so. At present, I will 0 ly argue the matter abstractedly, and endeavour to pc.t before you such reasons, as I think, ought to weigh with you to abstain from anything like com- . fulsion. 1. The labourer is a free-man, and has as good s.right to his opinion on the subject, as any one of you. He is, in no respect, bound to follow your opinions, and to act under your directions in anything, except in matters connected with his ser 'eke. Signing a petition with reference to the corn w. cannot in any way be so considered. 2. The labourer has an immediate and direct in- Ili:est in the matter. My belief, indeed, is, that the repeal of the corn , laws would be as beneficial to you ,to him ; but his interest is more evident. He is a eo,Aluner ; you are both consumers and producers; DI% interest in having what he consumes abundant and cheap is palpable, and he knows it. Why should he not be at liberty to express his opinion ? Stillmore, yr.hy should he be called upon to express a contrary one ? A. It is your manifest interest to promote and en soiLrage morality in your labourers, and especially to discourage falsehood and lying; but when you urge a man to put his name to the expression of an covnion, contrary to that be really entertains, you Inge 3aim to commit a deliberate falsehood in the foTmal manner. How can you, after this, blame bi - n, if on any other occasion he lies to you ? I would ask what you gain by this? , Nothing Ist the expression of an opinion, which you know to be insincere, and which your employers and land sort is, if you are candid with them, also know to be so. Again, I would ask, what , you • lose by this ? The ,respect and good opinion of your men. How can a man respect one who, for his own purposes, urges or co mpels another to tell a deliberate lie ? 6. But this is not all you lose. The men, bowing, as they all, I believe, well know, that the tor.--laws are most injurious to them, being so called bpc naturally suspect that you must have pots e view or object detrimental to them; or, at the least, that you are indifferent about their wel . .cask every farmer in Wilts, and in the South • Enp,litiAl, whether there exists between him and labourefs such cordiality as could neutralise that Suspicion ; or prevent its being highly dangerous ? .3ut it may be said that you have a right to employ im you like, and to give what wages you like ; to dis eaks% those who do not agree with you about the corn kwv, or to give to them lower wages. True—the tight you have ; whether it be just or proper to exercise it, is another question. And, on the other luta, the men have a clear right to stick to their own opinion and if they prefer doing so to accepting the 11/S.ges Of falsehood and iniquity, to take your dis missal. Would the boards of guardians refuse to admit them, with their families, into the workhouses, because they had refused to sign their names to a lie ? I throw out these things for your consideration, ead I think they are deserving your attention. I Ilia to say nothing to irritate or annoy. I have ess , desire to expose the names of any who have acted. as I think, so unjustifiably. But I will do *Cat I can to save the labouring men from oppression • injustice; acd I care not whom I may offend, or urilat offence I may g ive, if it is necessary to do so for that'purpose. To conclude : Be just and fair—Do unto others as aratt would that others should do to you. Keep your opinions and act upon them, if you please; but let yclr labourers keep theirs. You probably know my ("pinion, that your landlords have no right to coerce ycu; in the same way, you have no right to coerce your labourers. Act on these principles, which are the principles of justice and truth, and take my word for it that you will never have cause to repent of so doing. RADNOR. Grosvenor-street, May 28, 1844. DISSENTIENT ON THE LANCAS TER RAILWAY BILL. 1. Because the reasons' assigned by the Commons are wholly insufficient. They proceed mainly on a gross and palpable error in law; namely, the assumption that there is in law a difference between Raiiyvay Bills and Road Bills, whereas a Railway Bill is to all inte2ts and purposes a Road Bill, unless in so far as some special proNlsion may have been made for Railway Bills in some particulars, and it is not pretended, that the amendment in question came within the *cope of any such provisions. 2. Because in so far as it is alleged, that the gates sought to be erected, were not on the railway, but on another road, th.tt road was most materially affected by the railway, its traffic being very greatly di:mnished, and the road becoming more like an occupation or private road than a turnpike rond,‘lind the gates were only to be erected after the comple tion of the railway. . Because, in so far as want of notice is alleged, the like leave to erect gates has been given in former instances, by pri /ate Acts of Parliament, without any such notice. 4. Because ti'e projectors of the present Bill had agreed to leave such a clause inserted, as a condition of the intended oprosition being withdrawn ; and had represented that they hat. stated the clause to many—it was said fourteen persons ..--teveral of whom were turnpike trustees of the old road in qtt .stion. . Because whether the Commons were right or wrong, Pei clause having been made a condition made to the Art tdrawing opposition, the refusal to agree to the amend tnen t ought to have been regarded by this House as a ter tion of the contract, whatever might be the cause of much „refusal ; and the party who had made the contract in Layout of the Bill, on the condition of the clause passing, should. _have been 'let in to oppose the Bill; or, if that. could no longer be done in this stage, the Bill ought not to have be' , passed without his consent, which should have been ob Lined on some other equivalent condition. 0,. Becauie it is of the utmost importance to prevent frauds, ▪ to protect individuals from the most grievous oppression, the t the most perfect good faith be always kept between pro jet ors of works, applying for private Acts of Parliament, to are t them with extraordinary powers, and private parties Wir I,vhoin they bargain respecting their assent or opposi tie lAD such Bills. Because the projectors of this work undertook to have the clause passed, and this was part of their bargain with the pri - ate parzv, and if they had bad fairly applied to the road this tees, and given them due notice, no deception could have been practised, and'no objection could have been taken, either by tt e trustee; or the Commons. • . Because all that was asked in the Lords, when the pre- I s m., n otion was made, was a delay which could not possibly have p •eximted the Bill from passing by the space of above one day tin(' the delay was asked on the express ground, that mat mai evidence was ready to be produced which must have affe.-ted the question, whether the Commons' amend ments slioVd he agreed to or not. t). Becatta.• the Bill was thus, in an unprecedented manner, hurried throe •h, in the face of a notice gi ven i n t h e H ouse that a Select Committee would immediately be moved for, to consider what had been the conduct of the prompters of the Bill, grave allegations being made that the opposition lta ' been originated either by them or in consequence of the it proceedings, in entire breach of their contract with the pri 'ate party. 7. ). Because this House has never, even in its legislative caps city, decided without Bearing, unless where the matter iin question was realty a cover for some patty proceeding, and Was not the true subject of deliberation: But in its judicial, a cues i judicial capacity, and when dealing with rights of propert v and claims of parties interested , it has never , save in this h tstance, decided without hearing those parties. , BROUGHAM.

M. B. STATE OF CRIME IN FRANCE.-The Minister of attuice has just presented to the King the' report-On cri nges., justice for 1842. We learn from it that the de crease, in the number of charges before the different CourtS of Assize, which was shown by the re port far 1841, as compared with -the four pre ceding years, was in nearly the same propOrtion in 1042. In 1840, the number was 6,004 ; in 1841, ; and in 1812, 5,104. In 1841, the decrease wf .s in the number of charges of crimes against property. wi .ilst those against the person had increased, but in 1842 bed) descriptions of grimes were diminished in an almost equal degree. The number of persons involved in the accu sations of 1842 was 6,953, being 509 less than in 1841, and 1,273 loss :than in 1840. Of the 6,953 persons brought to trial in 1842,._2,236 were accuse d of crimes against the person, and 4,c 17 against property. Of the total num ber of 649453, 5, 716 were males, an d 1 ,237 females. The chief crimes of .the latter were infanticide, abortion mur der by poison, do:vestic robbery, and arson. Eighty-two of the ,6.953 had nct attained their sixteenth year; 1,192 were beoveen,l6,and 21 years of age, 1,032 between 21 so 25, 1,198 ,b etwee n .25 and 30, 1,752 between 30 and 40, 1,037 between 40 and 50, 398 between 50 and 60, 208 between 60 and 70,,And, 54 more than 70 years of age. About one-sixt pf the . total number w ere h without any oceupation, am living in a- state of idle -8 were 15( ss and habitual vice ; of the remainder, 1, en gaged in business of some sort on their .73 own Be co .int; the others were workmen, se;vants, day labourers, &c ; 3,626 were wholly without educ ation ; 2,283 could real and write in an. inferior degree; 805 were suffi cieWlY.Verbed; in these: arts •to turn them to account ; an,l x'39 had4•eceived a superior education. Lar g e as the number of uneducated persons brought to trial in 1842 was, ;there is_a gradual ditninutiOn in this class. In 1838, 1839, and 1840, it was in the proportion of 56 per cent.; in 1841, it was 54 per cent. ; and in 1842, 52 per cent. 2,237 of We 6,953 were acquitted; 4,646 were condemned to various punishments—viz., 42 to death ; 174 to imprisonment wish hard labour for life ; 918 to the same punishment for b. certain number of years; 858 to solitary imprisonment ; 140 civil degradation • 2,106 to oc . linary imprisonm en t f or a t erm no t e x c e eding one 3" ar; - .567 to ono year and under; and 9 to fines.

UV- , TT:q J . 14 simbl t!oiiL7 ounit Li t! I t;113 SCHOOLMASTERS' ASSOCIATION. On Friday the adjourned meeting of schoolmasters was held at the Green Man, George-street, Westminster. Mr. Jones in the Chair. The SECRETARY (Mr. MONDAY) read the minutes of the last meeting. The C4AiximA.N stated that since the last meeting he had had conversations with influential persons connected with the profession, and he had received from all the greatest ericofiragement for the proposed Association. The Committee had considerable difficulty in framing a s,t of rules for the government of the Society, but he had no doubt that in the course of a few days they would be able to lay before the general body of teachers a plan which would embrace the interest of all, and pre sent no obstacle to the scruples of any. Mr. BARRE said that since the last meeting he had had conversations with several persons interested in the welfare of the profession. Amongst others with clergy men of high dignity in the Church, who stated to him that they were surprised that such an association was commenced now for the first time. He moved that the Committee be allowed the interval to Wednesday next to prepare a wort upon which the Society shall be founded. Mr. PARTON seconded the resolution, and said as the olject of the projected Association was so comprehensive and benevolent, that he could have no doubt the Com mittee would be supported by a largo majority of the profession. It was well known to all present, that some of the most deserving persons, having filled the import ant stations of teachers to hundreds of the children of working classes, or presided over the education of young nobility, have passed the remainder of their lives in ex treme indigence and neglect. The resolution was agreed to unanimously. On the motion of Mr. CEATON, seconded by Mr. LONG a vote of thanks was unanimously passed to the Chairman for his judicious conduct in the chair. The meeting then adjourned till Wednesday next. HOSPITAL for CONSUMPTION and DISEASES of the CHEST. Yesterday morning a sermon on behalf of this excel lent charity was preached at the Church of St. Nicholas, North Brixton, by the Lord Bishop of Winchestei. The Learned Prelate, in the course of a very eloquent address, adverted to the printed address circulated among the congregation, as follows : " There is scarcely a disease of any severity which does not find ready admission into the wards of our general hospitals, and many complaints of comparatively rare occurrence and trifling importance have institutions specially devoted to their treatment ; but consumption, the most frequent and destructive malady in existence, finds the doors of all our hospitals closed against it. " The plea on which the consumptive patient is re fused admission into other institutions is, the lingering nature and almost 'certain fatality of his disease. But these very peculiarities give him the strongest claim on our sympathy; for when the poor man falls ill, the very sources of his subsistence are dried up ; acute diseases impoverish and embarrass him, but chronic diseases ruin him ; those who are dependent upon his exertions share his destitution, and are prevented from earning theirown livelihood by the necessity of ministering to his wants. "To provide him with an asylum, to surround him with the comforts of which he stands so much in need, to ensure him relief from the sufferings entailed by his disease, to afford him spiritual consolation, at a period when the mind is perhaps best adapted to receive with benefit the divine truths of religion, and to enable those who depend upon him to earn their own subsistence, are the great objeets proposed to be accomplished by this iit-w hospital. ." The following statement will show the magnitude of the evil which this institution was formed to remedy. Of the 60,000 deaths which occur every year in England and Wales from slow and lingering diseases, about 36,000 are probably due to pulmonary consumption. One-ninth, therefore, of the total mortality at all ages, and more than one-fifth of the mortality of adults is due to this cause ; and as the duration of the disease, taking one case with another, is about two years, it follows that about 72,00) persons are constantly suffering from con sumption, being at the rate of four persons in every thou sand of all ages, and eight in every thousand adults. "Again, of the 45,000 deaths occurring every year in the metropolis, about 5,600, or one-eighth of the total mortality of the metropolis at all ages, and little less than one-fifth of the mortality of adults, arises from this fatal disease : and upwards of 11,000 persons, being about one in 170 of the entire population of the me tropolis, and more than one per cent. of the Adults, are constantly wasting away under the attacks of this lingering malady. " Of these 10,000 cases, about three-fourths occur in males, of whom a large proportion are working men, unable to provide for themselves and families, systema tically excluded from our general hospitals, and uniting in their own persons every conceivable claim to sympathy and assistance. It may be well to add that many— very many—of these poor sufferers are the acknowledged victims of unventilated workshops, ill-constructed dwell ings, vitiated atmosphere, long hours of work, and the want of open places for exercise and recreation ; so that they may fairly claim from their richer brethren not sympathy only, but compensation for the injury which their neglect has inflicted upon them. " To all who have felt the power of the destroyer, or who have reason to fear his attack—and what family throughout the country has not had sad experience of his presence?—an earnest appeal is now made, in the full assurance that those who give their support to this institution will combine the work of mercy with that of justice, and aid in furthering as many important objects as are found united in any charitable institution." The sum collected at the conclusion of the sermon amounted to 62L ss. 7d. Another collection for the same laudable purpose was made in the afternoon after an impressive sermon preached by the Rev. Townsend Duffield. CHINA We find in the Chinese Olio of Captain Pidding trans mitted last week, a mass of curious information respect ing the country with which, apparently, he is so well acquainted, and such as one could hardly suppose it would be . in his power to extend from week to week. Doubtless, however, as indeed professed, there are ample materials, or the task would not have been commenced. The following items respecting the position of Russia, with reference to China, are of some interest : " Since the conclusion of the treaty at Nankin, an extra nrdinary defalcation bad become apparent in the commerce carried on at Kiakhta, and along the line of Siberia, with China. It was calculated that the defalcation would be equal fully to two-thirds of the average traffic of late years. Russian textile wares were entirely without de mand among the Chinese merchants, and the conse quence was that the manufacturers were encumbered with stocks which, for other markets, were not generally available. The cotton velvets, especially black, for which Riga had acquired a, certain reputation, and hich were a sort of standard article for the Chinese trade, were quite unmarketable, to the great consterna tion of mazuf4cturers of that port. , The same was the case with,cotton goods, and nearly so with the wool lens of Moscow. Under such circumstances the manu facturing interests of Russia were in the utmost dis ma y, Many parties are stated to have stopped their works alto gether, and more to have partially suspended, or much contracted their operations. It was apprehended that the stoppage of the works would become more gene ral still. "It appears beyond question, therefore, from these re results, that the opening of the north-eastern ports of China to British enterprise has already been the means of accomplishing a veritable revolution in the course of commerce. "We may be assured, however, that the policy of Russia is not more asleep now in reference to China than it has been for the last century. In view of the important consequences which might be expected to flow both politically and commercially from the treaty of Nankin, betwixt Great Britain and China, a sort of diplomatic army of observation was organised and dispatched last year from St. Petersburgh to the frontiers, or rather to range along the frontiers, of China. We are enabled, in addition, to state that a Prince of the Tolstoy family is at the head of this mission extraordinary, whose object it cannot' be difficult to comprehend, and whose station, in consonance'with the pursuit of those objects, may be regarded as of permanent establishment." THE 'MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY AND ISIS COL LIERIES.—We are informed, by a correspondent, that the Marquis of Londonderry has had a meeting with some of the workmen•lately employed on his collieries, but who are now out on strike, in obedience to the com mands of the union. We are given to understand that at this interview the Noble Marquis expressed the kindest feelings towards the pitmen, whom he earnestly recommended to return to the paths of industry, but at the same time signified, in the most decided terms, his determination not to allow hi§ collieries to remain idle. He would, he said, give his former workmen a short time to consider whether they would resume their labour ; and if they did not within that period intimate their intention'to do so, he would repair to his Irish estates and bribg ovor a sufficient number of men, who were able and desfrous to work for an honest and re spectable livelihood.—Durham Chronicle. Street-begging by the pitmen, their wives, and children, is increasing to such an extent in this city as to demand the interposition of the civil authorities. The fact is painfully illustrative of the deep distress in which they must have been involved by their misguided con duct, in throwing up their employment ; but misfortune wilfully courted, and perversely hugged as men would cherish a blessing, merits no sympathy and will receive but little commisseration. It is to be feared, too, that the alms occasionally bestowed, sometimes fall into the most- worthless hands. An instance in point occurred a manifesti gains,l l theythey h etyh e day or t wo ago.

RAISING VIND.—A most ingenious l'act imposition, attended with a forgery up on a hi g hl y respect ableeed a few days si nc e enacted solicitor's firm in the city, in the legal neighbourhood yof was Lincoln's Inn. It a p pears some rogue " learned in the law," prepared a fi ct i t i ous case in the usual terms of legal technicality, and which was duly endorsed " Case for the opinion of M r . B et h ell 2 guineas." The names of certain clients of Mr. Bethell's, usa w endorsed at the bottom of the " case," and a cheque fu ' rl e o r t e purporting to be drawn by them upon Mess rs . L u bb ock, the bankers, was presented to the clerk, who, unsuspecting the fraud, at once handed over the difference between the fee and the 10/. Upon the cheque being presented for payment, the forgery was at once discovered. The delinquent, of course, pocketed the change with inward glee at the adroitness of the imposition; but it is a question whether he will success fully play the same game again, as we advise the profession to be on the alert. TEL L I GE N CE. VIVE-CITANCELLGSII' S COURT JuOe 1. (Before Sir J. WaanAm.) • The Court was Occupied, during the morning, with the hearing of short causes and unopposed petitions. When the latter had been gone through. the Court proceeded with the part-heard cause of Benson v. Hadfield, which was the first cause set down on the paper. (Before Sir J. K. L BRUCE.) Several cases were disposed of in the course of the morn ing, bat none of them involved any feature of public interest. BAIL COURT, June 1. . . (Before Mr. Justice WroaTmAx.) THE QUEEN V. THE CORPORATION OF WEYMOUTH. Mr. KINOLAKE applied to the Court to quash the return made by the mayor and burgesses of Weymouth to the writ of mandamus in this case. The mandamus was directed to the mayor and burgesses to elect two revising assessors. By the Act of the sth and 6th of William IV., c. 76, sec. 18, the mayor and assessors for the time being were to revise the burgess .list ; but, to get rid of the inconvenience that arose from the words "for the time being," a subsequent statute directed that the revising assesors should be elected on the Ist of March every year, in the same manner as the auditors of the borough, but if no assessors were elected, the old burgess-list was to continue in force. No assessors had been elected on the, Ist of March, and therefore on the 9th of November, when the list was to be revised, it was found there were no assessors to revise it. The mandamus issued to compel them, and the return they made, was, that there was no assessor, which was not a proper return ' • because, if there was no as sessor, it was competent to the Mayor to hold a meeting and elect them, under the 11th of Geo. I. Another objection against the return was, that it was vague and uncertain. Mr. Wrearriumr—By the late Act it was necessary that you should proceed by demurrer. Application refused. ~The prisoner uttered not a word, but appeared to be *ery desirous to get out of the roam. The LORD MAYOR—From several inquiries which I have caused to be made, I find that the character given of you by the gentleman who wrote the letter is in every respect accurate—that you are a convicted thief, a com mon prostitute, and an imposter of considerable skill. I shall now convict you as a rogue and vagabond, and sentence you to imprisonment for three months, in the Giltspur• street Compter ; and I assure you that the next time you make your appearance here, I shall, if possible, send you to the Old Bailey. The prisoner then retired, covering her face with her hands, without making once an experiment of her skill with the Lord Mayor. . . . BOW-STREET. • • - Mrs,- Evans landlady of the -Old brury.Tavein, in Brydges-street,-- Covent garden, was summoned before Mr. Twyford, for permitting prostitutes to assemble in her house. From the evidence of Inspector Black, it appeared that on the the 24th of May he went into Mrs. Evans's house at half-past four in the morning, and saw four females drinking at the bar. Ile remained in the house a few minutes, when Mrs. Evans ordered the potboy to turn the women out. Mr. Clarkson, who attended for Mrs. Evans, inquired how long the females were in the house ?—lnspector Black replied that he only remained in the house three minutes, and that was all he knew of the time they were there. Mr. TWYFORD said he did nOthink that was sufficient time to bring the case under the Act of Parliament ; he was of opinion that it could not be considered harbouring prostitutes. Inspector Black said he - was bound by his duty, on visiting public-houses, to report fo his superintendent when he saw any improper characters in public-houses. Mr. TWYFORD was not finding fault with the witness. He knew he had only done his duty. He should order the present summons to be dismissed. Mr. Clarkson then rose and said, he knew he was out of order, but he hoped the Magistrate would allow him to say a few words respecting the case in question. He thought it perfectly absurd that such a case had been brought forward at all. The Commissioners of Police and,superintendentswemed to him as if they were en deavouring to stretch the Act of Parliament to its greatest extent. They knew that Mrs. Evans's tavern was a night house, and that such persons as she was summoned for 'harbouring were in the habit of going there to get any refreshment they could require. It was not to be supposed that such persons could live without refreshment. They must have some house to go to, and yet the police, although there was no - noise or disturbance, or indecency, must summon Mrs. Evans, and put her to an immense expense to defend herself, for what ?—for allowing four unfortunate outcasts to drink a glass of ale or gin before her bar. He was sure the Legislature never contemplated such cases when they made the Act of Parliament, but he really thought the Act would never be construed pro perly. His object in taking up the time of the Court was merely in order that his statement might meet the eyes of influential persons, and show them the manner in which the licensed victuallers were persecuted by the misconstruction of a simple Act of Parliament. He did not find fault with Inspector Black for doing his duty to his superiors in reporting the case, and he thought there was much credit due to him (Black) for the straight forward way in which he had given his evidence, and not attempted to stretch the case. He must say, how ever, that his superiors must be very inferior persons, II hen they determined that this was a proper case to be brought before a magistrate. 'The learned counsel then thanked Mr. Twyford for the attention which he bad paid to his remarks, and withdrew. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Guiseppe Gatti and Dcmc;ico Miasti, two Italians, were charged with procuring and encouraging children to wander about the street to beg ar.d gather alms. The prosecution had been preferred by Mr. Horry, of the " Society for the prevention of the importation of Italian boys and other foreigners for illegal purposes." The boys were found by the officers of the Mendicity Society and a person named Lucioni, in the act of begging in the streets with their instruments, and Mr. Hardwick had granted a summons that Gatti and Miasti, the masters, might be brought to answer the offence. Stiffano Dominica, the first lad, appeared to prove the case against Gatti. He was iterags, and carried a dila pidated hurdygurdy. Ills story was, that he had been seven weeks in England, having come from Genoa through France. Not finding Andrea, a man to, whom he had been . directed in this country, Gatti gave hi m the instrument he bore, desiring him to go and play it in the streets. Gatti received from him the money he collected by this means, which fluctuated from 10d. to 13d., and on some rare occasions to 16d. per day; and in exchange for which he received his lodging and food. He was neither beaten or maltreated when, after an un successful day, he brought home little money. Seven or eight other boys were similarly employed by Gatti. Mr. Robinson, on behalf of Gatti, entered into legal equivocation, contending that by Dominica's own state ment, that person merely acted as agent for Andrea ; and in reply to other remarks, Mr. HARDWICK said, that the fact of Gatti's " encou raging" the lad to procure alms was clear. The state ment that no ill-usage had been resorted to, only miti gated the aggravation of the case ; even as the agent, Gatti, would be amenable. It was a notorious fact, that a class of persons in this metropolis entrapped foreign boys, preserving them in a state of vagrancy, and under the pretext of playing instruments, or exhibiting animals, employed them to beg. On the receipt of scanty earn jugs these boys were often mercilessly maltreated. The boys were the mere instruments of the master's cupidity, and punishment ought to alight on the real offenders, who generally retreated into the back ground. Gatti evidently kept a lodging-house for these poor wretches, and made market of them. To repress and crush this system, he should sentence Gatti to two months' im prisonment, and order the conviction to be returned, so as to inflict the full penalty, in case of a repetition of the offence ; nor should he accept bail except on due notice. Mr. Robinson said he should appeal. anRiT. t h t a h t o ifs the n Domenico Miasti, the master of th e ot h er lad, leiintroduced ;remarking, 7i dE Ales sandro Diboli, there being mitigato r y c i rcumstances in t his case, was sentenced on his charge t o one month ' s im prisonment,painful circumstance of this system was , t h at hundreds Mldlrwrineo.nanHtothus v ' ps c u o m un b numbers d only be most WORSHIP-S TRE ET. en fates t o cwoofeurfloereneverig nh c kn i surmised. known stylishly dressed _young men, named Daniel Rodriguez, alias Rogers, a Portuguese Jew, and Charles Stewart, a Scotchman, who. described themselves as s u rgeons-chiropodists," were brought before Mr. Broughton for re-axammination, charged on suspicion of having been concerned in the commission of an exten sive burglary at the house of Mr. Peter Hay, watchmaker, &c., in Leith-street, Edinburgh, and carrying off plate, watches, and jewellery, to the amount of 1,5001 The Ciairt was crowded with a countless swarm of Jews from the purlieus of Petticoat-lane, who manifested the warmest interest in the proceedings. Intelligence of the robbery, which was committed on May the 2d, was received in town, about three' weeks ago, and a list of the stolen property was pnblished in the Nike Gazette, a reward of 3001. being offered for the apprehension of the thieves. It was believed that the robbery had been per petrated by two men, named Daniel Rogers and Charles Stewart, a minute description of whose dress and persons was also transmitted. Upon this a policeman immediately proceeded to Petticoat-lane, where the father of Ro driguez resided, and where he found the prisoners, whom he took into custody, Upon one of them was found a gold watch, two gold chains,,a gold pin, three gold rings; and various other articles, and on the person of Rodriguez was found two cases of surgical instru ments, a gold pin, and a bill 'relating to the conveyance of two boxes from Edinburgh, which were consigned, on the 21st ult., to the care of a man named Martin, residing' in Petticoat-lane. The house' in which Ro driguez lied, in Devonshire -terrace, Cambridge-road, was then searched, end two large, boxes, corresponding with those Mentioned in the bill, *were discovered, and in one "of which was found' an immense quantity ef wearing 'apparel, together with six gold breast pins, the duplicate of a brequet gold chain, and other articles of jewellery, similar to those in the advertised list of the stolen property. There were also found amongst the wearing apparel a light-colour e d coat, and a blue cloth cap with gold band, both answering the description of similar articles stated to have been worn by one of the robbers. It was . also ascertained that the prisoners had carried on business in Edinburgh as " surgeon-chiro podists," and that they left 014 city about the period of the robbery. In answer fo the charge, both the prisoners stoutly declared their innocence, and paid.that,it wits manifestly That theY' , cotall terve been. imlißcated in the robbery, as they left Edinburgh two days before it was alleged to have been committed, namely, on the 2d ult., and. that. on their arrival in town they put up at the house of Abraham Belasco, the Gun and Star, Petticoat lane, who would be able to corroborate their statement. On being examined, however, Mr. Belasco stated that the, prisoners took lodgings at his house on the 13th ult., and he had seen nothing of them for at least six months before that time. The,prisoners were then remandedati enable the police to give notice of their apprehension to the prosecutor and the police authorities at Edinburgh. The MAGISTRATE now read a letter which had been subsequently received 'from Superintendent Haining, of the Edinburgh police, who stated " that he had desired in a previous letter that the prisoners were only to be apprehended in the event of some of the property being n traced to their p oss e ss i on , and as he felt satisfied that of the arti c l es d escr ib e d as having been found upon them' formed any portion of the stolen property, it would be quite unnecessary to detain them any longer in custody. " Mr. BROUGHTON, after perusing the letter, observed that a more extraordinary document, emanating as it did from an officer of justice, had never come under his notice since he had held a seat on the bench. It was quite manifest that the sole object of the superintendent was to obtain the restoration of the property without re gard to the imperative demands of justice. Mr. Hurl stone, the clerk, was desired by the Magistrate to ad dress a letter to Mr. Hay, expressive of his sentiments, and requiring his attendance to prosecute the case. Mr. Robinson, who 'attended for the prisoners, said that he was able to adduce undeniable evidence that' every article found upon them had been honestly ob tained, and that they left Edinburgh two days before the commission of the robbery. The prisoners were then remanded until Wednesday next, but the Magistrate agreed to accept bail for their appearance on that day. Mrs. Mary Ford, a fair specimenof an Irish wash arwoman, was charged with r i o t ous an d irregular conduct at a most unseasonable hour thi s morn i n g, in College-walk, Chelsea. QUEEN-SQUARE. A policeman found her in the society of two of her sisterhood, all of whom were apparently endeavouring to have the best of an argument on some matter of domestic import. The disturbance which th ey th us cre ated in the almost deserted street, disturbed the inhabitants from their repose, the most THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 3, 1844. ARCHES' COURT, May 31. THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY TITCHMARSH AGAINST CHAP3IAN. Sir H. JsaiNER FUST gave sentence in this case, which was argued in Hilary term lash It was a proceeding under the Church Discipline Act, in which the office of the judge was promoted against the Rev. W. Herbert Chapman, rector of Basingboum, in the county of Cambridge and diocese of Ely, for refusing to read the burial service over the corpse of the infant daughter of two parishioners, named Rundall, who were of the class of Protestant Dissenters called Independents, after due notice given to him for that purpose. The articles charging the offence had been admitted, and a defensive alle gation was offered in reply thereto the substance of which was, that the baptism which the child had received at the hands of a minister of the Independents, being in fact here tical and schismatic, was invalid and null ; consequently, that the child was unbaptised, and as such was not entitled to interment with the services of the Church, under the rubric of the Church of England. The admission of this allegation was opposed, and the decision of the Court as to its admissi bility has stood over (owing to the indisposition of the judge) till this day. The Learned Judge observed, that the validity of lay baptism had been determined in this Court and also by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in the case of Mastin v. Escott ; but a distinction was taken between that case and the present. In the former case nothing had turned on the question of heresy and schism, but only on the want of holy orders in the person administering the rite : whereas, in this case that question was distinctly raised, it being averred that the baptism was heretical, the person who administered the rite being an heretical person. But, although there had been no absolute decision upon the point in " Mas tin v. Escott," the point not having been raised in that case, and Courts not going beyond the questions before them, yet a great part of the argument in that case turned upon the question whether heretical or schismatical baptism was valid or not ; and he had - no doubt that the same principle applied to both cases, and that whether the baptism had been per formed by an heretical person or by a layman, though irregu lar, was valid, and did not require that the rite should be re. peated. Everyone of the authorities stated that such bap tism was not to be repeated; it was therefore valid, and, if so, the child could not be said to be unbaptised. The only doubt be had was, whether he should not admit the allegation in order to have the question more formally argued, and that the party might carry the case by ap peal to a superior court. But there was a mode by which he could effect this object; although he should reject the allegation, lie would, if required, give the party leave to appeal. The Learned Judge then went more minutely into the grounds of his decision, but (owing to his late indisposition) in so,low and indistinct a tone, that it was with great difficulty we could hear many of his sentences. The main principle was, that if, as had been admitted, bap tism by a layman was valid in itself, he could not understand wherein consisted the difference as respected the validity of the rite between baptism by a layman and by a heretic or, schismatic. Both were irregular. but both were valid, and; in the words of the rubric, the person was " lawfully and sufficiently baptised." It had been contended that there was, a deficiency in the rite, and that deficiency might have been afterwards supplied, had the party lived and appeared before the bishopfer confirmation; but the want of confirmation did not disqualify this infant, any more than one pa k tised by a persoulii holy orders, from having the burial service read over it. Some reliance had been placed upon the argument that the excommunication ipso facto worked at once, with, out sentence, a disqualification.; but • the Learned judge showed, froui authorities and upon principle, that such ex-. communication could not attach till there had been a decla ratory sentence; and even then all civil disqualification and incapacity hatsoever had been taken away by statute. Upon' the whole, he was of opinion to reject the allegation, but he, should allow the case to stand until next court-day, for the' party to apply, if he thought fit, for leave to appeal, THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY BURDER AGAINST lIODGSON. Sir H. JENNER FUST likewise gave judgment in this case, which was a question as to the admission of the articles in a' ease of office promoted by the secretary of the Bishop of Salisbury against the Rev. Charles Henry Hodgson, chaplain of the county gaol of Wilts, charged with unseemly fami liarities with a convict under sentence of transportation. He held other ecclesiastical preferment, and the effect of this proceeding was his suspension and deprivation. The objec tion to the admission of the articles was, that this Court had not jurisdiction to inquire into the alleged offence, which was cognizable at common law, nor to deprive before conviction. The Learned Judge, however, held that the objection was not founded ; that this Court was entitled to entertain such a proceeding against a clerk for the purpose of suspension and deprivation, and it did not appear from the articles that the defendant was accused of any crime cognizable by the crimi nal law. The present proceeding was of a civil nature, not to punish the party (though deprivation might entail a punish nigit), but to remove a scandal, for it would be a lamentable thing if those who were under the care of this Rev. Gentle man were compelled to receive the sacrament or spiritual consolation at his hands whilst these reports were in circula tion. He should admit the articles, except one, , which pleaded the inquiry made by the justices. MIDDLESEX GENERAL SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, and a Bench of Magistrates.) THE WEST-END GAMING-TIOUSES.—On Friday Jolla Har low appealed against a conviction of E. H. Maltby, Esci , and William Cauty and Joseph Evert, against the conviction of John Hardwick, Esq., for keeping common gaming -houses in the parish of St. James, Westminster. Mr. Bodkin; with Mr. Chambers, appeared for the prosecu tion ; and Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Wilkins for the defendants, whose Louses, it will be remembered, were entered by the police a short time since, and a number of persons fined at the Marlborough-street Police-court, in consequence of gaming implements having been - found therein. Mr. RunKrf observed, upon the cases being called on, that after the decision in the Court of Queen's Bench, that this Court had no power to determine appeals except at Quarter sessions, the decision of the Bench would. go for' nought, for want of jurisdiction. _ _ Mr. CLAILKSON intimated that he was quite prepared to proceed, and ; should readily meet the Crown do the merits of the cases, if his Learned Friend thotight fit to let the judg ment prevail for the present session ; it was to him a matter of perfect indifference, but as the defendants, with-their wit nesses, • had been brought there through an oversight on the part of the"Crerle 'to the convicting Magistrates, he (Mr. Clatitson) thought the defendants ought-to be paid their.eosts, The'Leaimed . CnAlßMAN made no_order as to costs, and, after, some discussion, the cases were ordered, to stand over until the 12th of July. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) MANSION-HO USI Sarah Ann Dyer, who had been charged before the Sitting Magistrate at Guildhall, on Thursday-, 23d ult., Nigh having endeavoured to drown herself at Southwark bridge, and wln statement of. alleged grievances and calamities excited much compassion, was brought before the Lord Mayor .foi re-examination. She appeared to be the most faithful' representative of rustic simplicity, and at the me,ment she was put to the bar, the following certificate from the excellent and most respeCted chaplain of the Gittspur-street Compter was handed in :---" I have had a. lengthened conversation with the female Sarah Ann Dyer. and I think a more distressing case never came ma]. r. my notice. From the apparent :sim plicity of her character I have no doubt her statement is strictly correct. lam glad to find that she still pos sesses so much virtuous feeling as to manifest an anxious desire to return to her parents, and I hope means will be afforded to her for that purpose, and care taken to secure her safe arrival at home:' . . The LORD MAYOR asked th e o ffi cer , i n w h ose custo d y woman - was, cbnduct liad been on the bridge:? The officer said she . appeared to ba in extreme grief, and said that she was most miserable. Ile felt convinced that her intention had been to thro.v herself over the bridge. _ _ The LORD Mayon—Well, prisoner, you have carried on this game of humbug and hypocrisy with great skill. The prisoner started, and covered her face with both her hands. • The LORD MAYOR-Why, you know you have been :telling falsehoods, when you said your father was a re spectable.farmer at Challerton. Now, just listen to the t,ccurate• desciption given of you by one who knows you well.—Here, the Lord Mayor read the following letter from the agent to the Hampshire Independent,. directed to Alderman William Hunter, who presided at Guildhall when she was first examined : . . " Newport, Isle of Wight, Tuesday. • " Sir,—Having this day read an account of a young woman named Sarah Ann Dyer being place 4 before you, on a charge of endeavouring to drown herself on South wark-bridge, in, order that the public sympathy and the charity of the humane should not be thrown away upon an entirely unworthy object, I beg to inform you tbat her story is a tissue of lies from beginning to end. There is no farmer of that name in Challerton ; she is the daughter of a labouring man, and she has not only borne the character of an abandoned prostitute for many years; but is well known to most of the islanders as a convicted thief. It has occurred to me more than twice or thrice to record her actions. Not long since she was convicted of stealing a pair of shoes from a Mr. Pearce, in the High-street, for which she suffered several months' imprisonment. • 'She was next placed at the bar, charged with robbing a person named Edward W— of a silver watch, but the loier being a married man, and the loss having occurred in a house of a certain description, to which •he had accompanied her, be was ashamed to appear against her, and she thus escaped transportation. She then paraded our streets as a common soldiers' trull, and aceompanied a detachment out of the island, since which I am informed she plied her calling in the neigh bourhood of Southwark-bridge, and has not long since been discharged from the infirmary. lam induced to forward this lest her artful story should command that commisseration to which I know she is not entitled ; and f le c Tr o ha r i e s m idi s r otß a ti fe ic , li v ien4 i ty n o o s n eitr l: i s wce a l t ”at th d e o treadmill would render you think of that ac count of you ? nervous of whom threw up their windows and inquired the reason thereof. With much difficulty, the defendant's com panions were induced to "make the best of their way home," but Mrs. Ford would not move for any man on " airth," and stood her ground until forcibly removed by four policemen, who had exhausted all their persuasive powers in their en deavours to get her to go quietly home. No, she was ob durate, and the more the police persuaded, the more did Mrs. Ford's wrath increase; round oaths issued from her lips, and the police, in self-defence, took Mrs. Ford to the station house, in the way to which she poured forth the very lava of her wrath unsparingly upon them. She was ordered to obtain a person who would give some security to the Magistrate that Mrs. Ford should not create such a disturbance again in the public streets, for some time to come at least. UNION HALL. Mr. Sidney Fostei of the Surrey Zoological Garden s , attended to request the Magistrate's advice under the follow ing circumstances. _ _ _ The applicant stated that he applied on the behalf of the individual who furnishes the fire-works to the Zoological Gardens, and who fir that purpose had. recently purchased an acre of ground in the vicinity of the gardens for the pur pose of carrying on his business. Within the last few weeks a person has lately, erected a shed close to the spot where the fire-work business is going on, and this shed he has converted into a kind of factory in which he is carrying on a most dangerous trade, that of varnish making. A few nights ago, owing to the negligence of the man in charge of the shed, a fire occurred there, and Dearly consumed it, and had not the wind been in the east, there was every reason to believe that the flames might have extended to the place where the fireworks were, and that an explosion of the most serious nature would have been the result. The object of the present application was to ascertain if the person against whom the complaint was made could be restrained from carrying on his trade so close to the fire work manufactory. Mr. CorriNnmtm said, that if the fire was caused by the negligence of the parties carrying on the varnish-manufac tory the applicant had better serve him with a notice, and if after that any accident should occur, lie would be civilly as well as criminally liable for the damage sustained. The applicant, having thanked the Magistrate, withdrew. THE RIOTS IN PHILADELPHIA, We gi‘'e, in our present number, some details of the riots in Philadelphia, to which we could' only make a passing allusion on Wednesday, but which will be found to have been very formidable, and very destructive, both of life and property ; the number of persons killed and seriously wounded being from thirty to forty, and the property destr.yed by fir?, including two Catholic churches, being valued at upwards of 300,000 dollars. Since these riots became known in this country, we have been favoured with many speculations intended to elucidate their origin, none of which, as it seems to us, have gone to the root of the matter. For some months past, it has been tolerably obvious that an unfriendly feeling towards the Irish immigrants was springing up in most of the large. cities of the United States, and more particularly in New York and Phila delphia, where the Irish residents are most numerous. In those cities, bodies calling themselves "Native Ame rican Associations," consisting principally of persons in the working classes, h ave h e ld frequent and large meetings, the proceedings of which manifested strong hostility towards the Irish. The ostensible causes of this hostility,' so far as we have been able to collect them, are various—such as the improper interference of Irishmen in elections, the denun ciations of the people of the •United States by Mr. O'Connell, and various other matters ; none of which, nor all of which, however, appear sufficient to account for the organisation of the " native Americans;" but it is nut difficult to collect from the proceedings that there is another cause at work much more likely to furnish the real ground of hostility. It is found that the Irish are, in many branches of industry, formidable competitors for employment, which they are frequently disposed to accept on terms which " native Americans" are inclined to consider inade quate ; and hence a feeling has sprung up between the two parties not very unlike that which prevails here between bodies of combined workmen, and parties who are alleged to work under the usual rate of wages. That the ill feeling arising from this soaree has been aggra vated by the turbulent and lawless habits which Irish men have been taught by the misgovernment and the defective social state of their own country, and which they unfortunately carry with them wherever they go —is highly probable ; and possibly, too, the denuncia tions of,O'Connell may not have been altogether without their effect: hut we believe that the great cause of the outbreak is the ore we have named, and which is cer tainly not likely to be very speedily removed, but rather to increase in intensity. We see that some of the English newspapers dwell upon the disturbances at Philadelphia, as proof of•the evils of democratic institutions! We are certainly no admirers of the system of government which prevails in the United States, but, at the same time, consider it rather unwise for Englishmen, who have had abundance of untoward events at home, to he hasty in drawing un favourable conclusions from similar occurrences in other countries. If the value of our institutions was to be tested by the No-Popery riots, the Church-and-King outrages in flirmingham, or the fires of Bristol and Nottingham, they would not be very highly. estimated by the rest of the world.— Manchester Guardian. PRESERVATION OF LIFE AT SEA. A too great disregard of buman life at sea prevails amongst the shipping interest, in so far as regards the necessary precaution which it may be supposed a person would naturally take to provide means of escape from the manifold and fearful dangers which beset the ma.- river's life; and those who, either from pleasure or ne ' cessity, trust themselves upon the ocean. With regard to seamen, they have no sense of danger until it ap pears before them, and not until then do they devise means of escape. This want of fear is noble, and, to a certain extent, to be commended, but there is a limit to everything. Nevertheless " Jack," whatever may be said or done, will still be the same careless, fearless, danger-seeking, and generous fellow as ever. The blame alluded to, however, does not attach itself to the foremast men, but to those who certainly should give the mariner every chance which ingenuity has de vised for preserving life under the straits to which the seaman is exposed. The commander of a vessel is likewise not to blame, for, for him to talk of danger, is a reflection upon himself, and it is one of the greatest and most laudable boasts of a British seaman, that what ever the emergency- 7 -however great the peril and the demand upon his courage in danger, and fortitude in trial, he has ever yet been (and ever will be) found ready to meet it with the besl energies of his nature. Expense is ever—and naturally so—looked to by the owner, and whilst neither captain nor men complain, he may be considered, as innocent of debarring his men from a means of safety in times of peril to life—for no refusal has been given. Still, notwithstanding the fearless na ture of the ono, and the seeming apathy of the other, there is unquestionably too great a disregard in, providing a means of safety in times of certain peril, and which a practical experience of some years has fully exemplified. However, be this as it may, the subject has become one of very general observation, from the numberless losses of human life lately ; and there have been certain sug gestions thrown: out, and inventions submitted to those interested, which deserve attention. Foremost amongst the lattei, ranks a simple but saleable piece of cabin fur niture, the merits of which, it is believed, have been tested publicly at Plymouth—viz., . a cabin-stool, which forms itself into a buoy, capable of holding a person in a sitting posture in the water. There is also an in vention of equal value, of more recent introduction, which has within the last two days been exhibited at Lloyd'S—the grand emporium for shipping intelligence —and deserves the attention of all interested in maritime affairs, as well as those who proceed to sea under circumstances of a -different nature to the seaman. It has -occasioned much. curiosity, and is well deserving of inspection and adoption. .The invention is simple, but effective, for the purpose intended, and consists merely of a chest made of cork; yet made so strong, without being cumbersome, as considerably to surpass the wooden ones, now so long in use, in that respect. It is perfectly water-tight, and of extreme buoyancy, capable of sustaining from six to thirty grown persons in the water, even when filled with clothes, or provisions, &c. They are evidently not so easily stove in as those at pre- sent in use, being capable of resisting very severe usage, whilst, from their buoyancy,_ they are not so likely to meet with injury in a case of shipwreck. Their buoyancy, again, does not depend upon any pre paration, such as inflation,- &c., but is natural to the material of which they are composed. They are perfectly water-tight, and will preserve valuable documents and papers from water, when immersed overboard, for an almost indefinite period. Those who, unfortunately, have experienced the horrors lof shipwrecks, and been compelled to resort to either perceive w i t l l h e at v a oncelue a p n r d e s e i r i v n e p o p r r t a o n v i c s e i o n s f e a t s ' boats or a raft, as the means of .preservation, will i a n t v e o n n t c i o e n well as clothes from the destructive qualities of the sea water. Chests of this description could be fitted with a small portable caboose, which; to a shipwrecked party upon 'a raft, would be invaluable. They will also contain fresh ,water, and are at all times impervious to salt-water or damp, and well adapted for letters and specie. In a few words, it may be mentioned that the chief property of this valuable trunk (and the principle is also applied to carpet-bags, &c.) consists in its extraordinary buoyancy when filled with clothes, and its capability of sustaining ,in the water from six to thirty grown persons, attached Iby grummets, or loops, conveniently fixed for the pur !pose. Its buoyant property requires no arrangement, but it is always ready for use. Lieut. T. J. Irvine, R.N., to whom the public are indebted for the invention, has named it the Arcasalus. Every one about to make a sea voyage would do well to inspect it before completing their arrangements, as but one chest of this description may be considered necessary for a family, or traveller. A public test of its capabilities is shortly intended to be made upon the Thames. Meetings were held on Friday in several parts of the metropolis for the purpose of making arrangements for a great general meeting, to be held in the Crown and • Anchor, to protest against the sentence passed on Mr O'Connell RAILWAY FROM INVERNESS TO PERTH,' BY BADENOCIL-At a very numerous meeting of the gentlemen and inhabitants of Badenoch, held last week, Major Mac pherson, Glentrum, through whose•estate the projected line of rairway must pass for several miles, publicly announced that, provided the other proprietors in the Highland districts along the line will agree to do so, he will be ready to give the requisite ground on his property without making any charge. This is truly the spirit in which we trust to see the enterprise taken up, not only by the proprietors along the whole line, but by the noblemen, landed proprietors, and gentry, and by southern all classes of people in the Highlands, as a matter of common concern in which the whole north country is deeply capitalist t l w ve i sm el see it to be his interest cordially t o j oin in extending the interested.
