That " the h : 4 l ,'' as well as the immediate neighbourhood; has 'ell benefited to rte,re than an ordinary extent, is Peeved by the fact, that between the Saturday before the meeting and its close, taking double journeys into ;',ceourit, no less than 700 pairs of horses have been out of ant 1" the.,various posting establishments between Hoeke- II?"and Newmarkt.

On Friday night the report on t hi s inquiry was made The follovaine. is a COPS' : ].),,,_The- Stewards of the Joc•ky C'ub, assisted by the th " . " of Beaufort and Colonel Peel, having investigated Lir" ,ebarges brought forward against S. Rogers and J. d a 'ntin, and heard their statements, as well as the evi rcee of various witnesses, and the account given by 4,1: Cennainelin and Mr. Ives of their share in the trans -0;1°4 of betting for Rogers and Brahain against Ratan .. the late Derby race, are of opinion that the transac• ';_on originated in an afirement between S. Rogers and " /3 raham to bet t ut Ratan, under the im rore,sin that the parties whom they might commission ilnet„ bet for them against the horse would be influenced by r representations of the impossibility of his winning, to ''Y such sums of money against him as to prevent their e,,iring on the settling Rogers and J. Braharn x r ,ess that theysreceived alargeportion of the money intent -'l1) Y layin. against Ratan, although it was not their d4riion to Pay If the horse had won. Their conduct tgerintattbhee severest estroceeding was of such a nature as to punishment in the power of the Jockey Club to inflict. The Committee has further to observe, that although the conspiracy to bet large sums against Ratan originated with Rogers and Braham, and that no inducement was held out to them by any party to prevent the horse from winning, yet it would have been difficult fur them to have carried their plan into . execution, unless persons of influence had ken found to execute their commislions. " The Committee cannot express too strongly their opinion of the impropriety of gentlemen betting large sums of money for jockeys or for parties intrusted with the charge of race-horses. " The Committee recommend that S. Rogers and J. Braham be warned off all the property over which the Jockey Club has any control, and that S. Rogers be prevented from training horses or riding at Newmarket, or at any place where. the rules of the Jockey Club are in force; and that the Stewards of all other races be ap prised of this resolution, in order that they may adopt a similar course. (Signed) " STRADMOKE, Chairman. " Newmarket, Oct. 30, 1844." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PoßTsMouTu.—The Fair Rosamond, 3, arrived here on Thursday from the West Indies. She is to be paid off, and remain at Spithead waiting for orders. The Cornwallis, 72, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir 'William Parker, is daily expected from the East Indies. It is supposed that she is in the chops of the channel, and wind bound. The Lords of the Admiralty have issued directions, that .should the present easterly winds continue, vessels are to be dispatched from Portsmouth and Plymouth to cruize in the chops of the channel, for the purpose of supplying provisions and water to such homeward-bound ships as may stand in need of them. TUE PENELOPE, 22, STEAM FRIGATE, COMMO DORE JONES.—This noble, but much abused ship has been the means of saving the inhabitants of the island of Ascension from great suffering during the late scarcity of water. The following is an extractof a letter from an officer on board the Tortoise at Ascen tion, which will show how admirably the Penelope behaved,and how much her detractors are in the wrong:—" Being much in want of water, we star:ed for St. Helena in tow of the Penelope, and in a fine style she towed us a distance of upwards of 700 miles in seven days, against a strong south east trade wind, a head sea and current, without straining her in the least. The papers may lend themselves to party feeling to abuse her as much as they please, but I will maintain that she is the most powerful and effective ship in the service, and has done what steamer never did before. Indeed, it appears a godsend her being at the island at such a time, for, without her assistance the good peop!e of this island stood a chance of being subjected to much suffering from the want of water." A new steam tender, for the use of her Majesty, is being built by Messrs. D itchburne and Mare. She is to be 130 feet long and 20 feet in breadth, arid is not to draw more than six feet water. Her engines are to be constructed by Messrs. Penn, and will be of 160 horse power. Lis ALERT, 10, COMMANDER BOSANQUET.—Pri vate letters have been received from this ship which give a perfect refutation to the statement that has been published by an American skipper whose ship was boarded and searched by an officer and boat's crew of the Alert. It appears that the vessel in ques tion was supposed, and not without 'reason, to be en gaged in the slave•trade, and that the search was con ducted throughout in the most becoming and proper spirit, and with the utmost forbearance, notwith standing the obstructions offered .by the skipper of the supposed slaver. It has become the fashion, however, now to misrepresent the conduct of British officers engaged in the arduous and harassing duties which they are necssarily called ~upon to fulfil in the sup pression of the,slaye-trade, when they board suspected vessels. The performance of this act of duty is, in the present day, a subject of complaint against the officer who does it, and in nine cases out of ten the parties who most loudly complain are those who are most actively engaged in this nefarious trade. LATE CASE OF DESTITUTION IN MARYLEBONE. On Friday, at a very numerously attended meeting of the Directors and Guardians of the Poor of St. Marylebone, held in the Board-room of the work house, New-road, Mr. F. Bushill in the chair, the proceedings before Mr. Wakley, the coroner, in the late inquest on the body of John Hall, the details of which have been already placed before the public in the columns of The Sun, were brought under the notice of the board. Mr. POTTER said this was a matter of very consi derable importance to the board, inasmuch as the statements which were made before the coroner and jury, and which also appeared in the public news papers, imputed that the poor creature, llall, had died from their neglect. That gross and culpable neglect had been exhibited there could be no doubt ; for if ever there was a case which required relief—ample and immediate relief at first sight—it was the case of this poor man Hall, and his family. What were the facts ? These poor creatures, Hall, his wife, and four children, were in a starving state, living in the kitchen of an empty house, No. 6, Stratford-place, in which they had been placed by an agent. •On the application being made for relief," Faulkner one . of, the out= door poor inspectors, visited the case, and as the poor woman was from hOme he' left a slip of paper, telling her to call on him. On attending at the workhouse half-a-crown was given her, and she was told that if she applied at the workhouse again, she and her family must be passed to their parish. This had such an effect on the poor creature, that she did not apply again; and her husband, who was dreadfully ill, although he did not die from absolute starvation,, still died in the most lamentable state of destitution. In his (Mr. Potter's) opinion, these poor creatures had been very much ' neglected by those persons whom the board amply paid to look to the cases of the out-door poor. Mr. RATunoNE differed entirely from the observa tions of Mr. Potter, and said he rose in vindication of the conduct of the officers of that board; They acted strictly in accordaiwe the piovisiolis of the law of settlement, and with the instructions of the board. The family had been in London nine weeks, but their place of settlement was Sawtrey, in Huntingdonshire. It was true the poor man was ill, but when the application was made to Sparkes for relief, he gave them half-a-crown, and finding they did not belong to the parish, he told the wife, as was his duty, if they applied again they must be passed to their own parish. Mr. ANDERSON confessed that he was present at the adjourned inquiry, and that he felt ashamed of what he heard as one of the guardians of Marylebone. The officers were to blame, and had not exercised, to say the least of it, proper discrimination. After some further discussion, _ _ Mr. POTTER gave notice that he should at the next meeting move that the assistant overseer and inspector of the out-door poor be brought before the board to explain their conduct in the case relating to the death of John Hall, and that in the event of such explanation not being satisfactory, they be visited with the marked displeasure of the board. The board then broke up. " NORWICH A PORT."—We rejoice to learn, that it is Mr. Peto's intention to make Norwich a Port, by way of Lowestoft ; by an outlay of 200,0001., this very important object can be fully attained, so that Norwich will be really, and not continue to be merely nominally a port.—Nurwich Chronicb. At a meeting of the high constables of Portobello, held at Mr. William Rose's Inn, for the purpose of electing office-bearers for the ensuing year, the follow ing gentlemen were unanimously chosen :—Mr. John Claigee, Moderator ; Mr. John Rathbone, Secretary ; Mr. Peter Spane, Treasurer ; Mr. James Paterson, NEW ROMAN C ATHOLIC CHURCHES.---The iarl of of Shrewsbury, who subscribes such large sums of money towards the erection and ornamenting new edifices for the performance of Roman Catholic worship in every part of the kingdom, and whose name appears among the list of contributors on every occasion of the kind, is building, at his own expense, a splendid church at Cheadle, in Staffordshire, about five miles from his beautiful sea' Alton Towers. In addition to the mate rials for building this new church, which is to be com posel entirely of stone, he intends to spend no less than 25,000/. in ornamenting and completing the same. The ornamental portion of the building is to be . of the most magnificent description, and altogether it will be one of the finest things of the kind in the kingdom. His Lord ship is also erecting a new church at the village of Alton, about a mile from his seat, solely at his own expense, with a monastery for a new order of monks about to be established there. This building will cost a great deal of money, and will be of the most complete character, containing every description of department suitsble to the extensive undertaking. Some travelling drapers, as they term themselves, have recently visited Wales, for the purpose of selling cheap ready-made clothes. A cargo arrived lait week at Ruthin, and several sales were effected; but the pur chasers soon found that the garments had not been sewn, but stuck together with some adhesive preparation, and were liable to drop into pieces in the streets.— Shrewsbury Chronicle. INFAMOUS CASE REPORTED IN THE " TIMES" OF SATURDAY, Nov. 2 —REFUSAL OF A MEDICAL MAN TO GIVE A CERTIFICATE OF BURIAL.—PeopIe of Eng land,—One of the infamous powers grauted to doctors in order to put money into their pockets is, that no one can be buried without a certificate from one of them—this is, in other words, to force people to employ them in sickness, whether they feel disposed to so do or not. Read the paragraph which appeared in the Times of last Saturday. When will people awake from their lethargy on this question? Do you now understand what Hygeists mean by the medical liberty of the subject?

NOVEMBER I.—This will be a memorable day for Poole, as the consequence of the election of six Reformers as councillors, which has now taken place without a contest, will be the removal of every vestige of Toryism from our Town Council. This is the more surprising when we remember that, six years ago, there was not (thanks to the original Tory f rau d, by which they first succeeded in obtaining a majority) a single Reformer left in the Council. At that time—that is in 1838—the Re formers resolved to bestir themselves, and, by great exertions, succeeded in filling every vacancy, six in number, with "good men and true. The following year, after another desperate contest, they succeeded in adding six more to assist those of the previous year in checking Tory extravagance and misrule— the Council then consisting of twelve Liberals and six Tory Councillors, and six Tory Aldermen, the latter having, by means of the Mayor, the casting vote. In 1840 the Reformers were again successful, leaving only the six Tory Aldermen, the last three of whom will go out of office on the 9th inst., thus leaving the late Tory Town Council of Poole com posed of eighteen Liberal Councillors, and six Liberal Aldermen. The above shows such complete success attending the exertions of Reform, that we trust it will act as an encouragement to other boroughs to go and do likewise. So sudden and unexpected was the con version of the Tory majority into a minority, that they did not even embrace the opportunity of putting their " house in order," leaving several heavy liabili ties on the inhabitants, in the shape of compensation to the late Town Clerk (which is now the subject of legal dispute), enormous bills claimed by their then Town Clerk, to the amount of several thousand pounds, but which, having no legal claim for,: he does not seem very likely to get, and other little mementos of Tory misrule; but now (thanks to our great and untiring exertions) we have seen the last of Tory power in the borough of Poole. BEVERLEY. (Fnois A CORRESPONDENT.) The Tory monopolists durst not show their faces this morning, and six Liberals and Free Traders have been returned without opposition. The Town Council will now consist entirely of Liberals. ANDOVER. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) On the Isl instant four members of the Town Council retired by rotation, their term of office having expired, three of whom were Liberals, and one, the present Mayor, a Conservative. The Tory party were desirous of effecting a compromise with their oppo nents, by proposing to abstain from opposition to two Liberals, if the other party would also consent to two Tories being returned. This offer was indignantly rejected by the Liberals, who preferred an honourable defeat to a disgraceful compromise, and accordingly on Friday last the contest commenced with good earnest on both sides. The Tories had upon this occasion taken the start of their opponents, and spared neither pains or expense in canvassing and treating their friends. The Liberals also were not wanting in activity, and never since the Municipal Act was passed have we witnessed a more severe conflict. At four o'clock the poll closed, when the result was found to be the return of two Liberals and two Tories as under : Liberals—Thomas H. Mortimore, 105 ; Hugh Mundy, 102; George Young, 93 ; Wm. F. Bridger, 87. Total, 387. Tories—Henry Thompson (Mayor), 114 ; Giles Westbury, 104; F. R. Loscombe, 90 ; Wm. Major, 62. Total, 376. GREAT YARMOUTH. (ruom A CORRESPONDENT.)

Not a single one dare place himself in nomination. The following have been returned without opposition : Beeltet Ward.—Mr. William Goodwin and Mr. Henry Mozley. Bridge Ward.—Mr. William Taylor and Mr. James Hollingworth. Cartley Ward.—Mr. Samuel Lowe and Mr. John Moss. Derwent Ward.—Mr. William Barton and Mr. Henry gisborne. and Jain Walton. . -7- Eing's 'Mead Ward.—William Evans. Esq., M.P.,- and Mr. John Gamble. . NOTTINGHAM. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) NOTTINGHAM, FRIDAY, FOUR P.M.—The municipal elections have thit• moment terminated. The result is the election of eight Liberals and six Conservatives. For some months past both parties have been prepar ing for this day's contest, and never at any municipal election in Nottingham before has there been so much political excitement. I regret to state that both Whig and Tory have been implicated in proceedings which no one can justify, the most unblushing bribery and intimidation having been practised. In Exchange ward, where the co ntest has beep, very severe, the price: foi a 'irf - q t"••fio vaxied from 1' 61 ,..: t 0,40/.; abd ninch d,s tney 4 " . ..mn a y itartle s ome, innumerable haye - been the instances in which the larger sum has been cheerfully given. In Mary's ward the price de manded by electors became so enormous that the Liberal candidates refused to give it ; their opponents have, therefore, gained an easy victory. The same result has occurred in St. Ann's ward. In Castle ward the Liberals were mostly triumphant. Both parties have engaged hundreds of " lambs," or hired ruffians, and repeated have been the conflicts between them. The leader of the Tory lambs was Bendigo, the noted prizefighter. These lambs have been en gaged at all hours of the night and day in seizing poor voters, and hurrying them into places of confine ment. Some voters have been sent as far as Hull, and others into Derbyshire. Indeed, little idea can be formed of the lawlessness of the whole proceed ings. The honest poriion of the electoral, body call loudly for a remedy... The' town is divided into seven wards, in each of which the two parties are nearly equal in number, owing principally to the number of Swiss, who make the most of their votes, and who generally incline to the weakest side, fur the purpose of raising prices. Of the fourteen councillors who retired, twelve were Liberals, and but' two Tories. No schemes which could gain a point has been left untried. The Tories for months have been engaged in paying rates for the lower class of householders, for the purpose of enfran chising them, upon the promise that their votes should be at the disposal of their paymasters ; and the Liberal party have been compelled to imitate this example. Such a system of machinery has been at work during the whole year on each side as never before was brought to bear upon municipal matters. All this created much excitement and expectation at the recent municipal revision, and every exertion was used on each side to gain a majority on the register. Political feeling never before ran so high at Notting ham as at present. HASTINGS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) EAST WARD.---G. Scrivens (R), 422; IV. Gunier, (R), 399; T. Ross, Jun. (R), 376 ; A.

(From the World of Fashion Monthly Magazine) BUTTONB.—Fancy buttons will be much used this winter for the decorating of velvet pelisses, and satin demi-habilloes; those moat required will be Marquise or Richlit u buttons, in enamel, encircled with the Mar casite stone, or large garnets surrounded with pearls; those formed of a single painting in enamel are also very pretty. Funs will decidedly be worn this winter, more than any that ever preceded it, owing to the many different forms of wraps now so much in request, as well as those elegant capes, called by the name of the palatine russe, which is so celebrated for its comfort and elegant form, as well as its value, being composed entirely of real ermine, the mock fur having a horrid effect, BONNETS are chiefly made of very light satins, or of velvet ; a new style of flower has also just been invented for the decorating of them ; the flower is made half open, like a gobelet, of a purple colour (and form ing a coronal), with white petals agbi ees, and the foliage of a bright sparkling green. Bonnets of velours epi nee are also much in request ; for instance, those of a pale yellow, the front long and open at the ears, lined with white satin, and ornamented in the interior with nctuds and brides of pale pink satin ribbon, and a splendid oiseau de paradis over the ex terior of the crown. TRAVELLING BoNNETs s are principally of a close form, made of the open sole ‘egetale, and lined with Bros de Naples, its sole ornament being a chicoi 63 trimming to match. ----- DRESS HATS are now much seen at the theatres, some being made of white velours epingle, its sole ornament a simple ribbon tied round the crown, and the interior of the front decorated with folds of gauze, intermixed with ribbon. Others of sky blue, covered with a broad Eng lish lace, attached to the crown with a wreath of queen's daisies, variegated, 'or' in crepe of a beautiful citron colour, decorated with a single marabout, the same colour as the crepe, entirely concealing the front, and drooping as low as the shoulder. MATERIALS FOR MORNING DRESSES.--A very soft, pliable, and thick material has lately appeared, somewhat resembling the damask or lampas, not figured in wreaths or running patterns, but in large roses, bunches of leaves, &c., distributed over the surface in a lighter shade than the ground-work. CAPS.—A very distingut a looking cap for an evening toilette, are those which • are composed of black lace, made very petit, the papillon, or ears, formed of a lappet, the ends of which are raised and reversed over a broad ribbon, the ground-work of which is of a golden colour, striped across in different colours. This is called the Mogadore ribbon, and is the most fashionable novelty of the season. WALKING DaEsses.- 7 Black is the prevailing fashion for out-door costume ; those which are trimmed with a profusion of black lace having a very rich effect. Dresses of the satin, D'lsly, in broad stripes, are very handsome, the skirts trimmed with two broad waving flounces, high and plain body, and sleeves pareil. Pelisses will, however, be most in favour for a promenade toilette, made after the following fashion :—A pelisse of a pretty greyish-coloured moire, open up the front, and trimmed on each side with a broad biais, edged with red velvet, the centre part being closed up with straps of red velvet, attached with silver buttons, the body high upon the shoulders, and open down the entire front ; small collar and facings joining those upon the skirt, corded with velvet, and strapped across to match those on the skirt, decorated also with buttons The sleeves are made plain, with two bands of velvet round the wrists, forming a kind of bracelet. Under dress of embroidered cambric, a guaged guimpe is worn with a fulling of tulle i liiied with ,red satin Bound the. neck. Manchettes Velvet pelisses will be generally - decorated rich furs, those of a dark hue- beihrthe ino-t preferred, such as sable, lynx, &c, whilst those little fanciful ones called les redingotes hongroises, made also in velvet, are mostly trimmed and encircled with an embroidery of tound braid, which is continued upon the entire front of the corsage, having a much lighter effect than fur. Cloth pelisses are now worn, very much embroidered, and ornamented with pretty fancy buttons, either in silk or in acier, the latter being preferred for those in black cloth ; those of the marcassite stone are also greatly in request. MA NTEABX.—Those which are most worn at the present time, are made extremely full, and slightly wadded, the cape sufficiently large to admit of a double row of trim ming, such as the plaitings a la veille, with frillings, fon tanges or ruches A la grand'mare, or two rows or gympe, encircled with a lace du Puy (or a new kind of velvet lace), which is extremely pretty, and will be much worn ; thh t *ter. - % ja.? 0. • • SLEEVES still continne,td be Warn in &hundred fanciful foriri-s;'deailtirigues, detni-larges, quite wide, .:or quite plain, enclosed round the wrists with deep cuffs, or open ing a la Louis XIII., so as to show the under sleeve. When the dress is composed of cloth or velvet, the plain round sleeve i s most l y worn. BALL DRESSES. —We may cite as one of the most elegant mod e l s t h ose which are made busquee, the bodies trimmed with a t r i p l e fulling, forming a kind of berthe, finished with a c l uster of roses in the centre of the front; the sleeves ar e f u ll ed to match, likewise decorated with a touffe of rose s i n the centre, and small ones scattered over the sleev es ; the skirt is trimmed with two quilles, formed of fullings, upon which are placed roses of graduated sizes, put on at regular distances. This style mwiotdhious bands thanof satin, this slightly costume is e x t remely youthful and becoming. PALETOT.—For trav e lli ng, not hi ng can b e more com modious wadded, amade on f d m a very large silk cord, put on at the edge, the lining aeri encircledn o striped w it with composed of poult de soie. SuierouTs are Principally made of satin a la reine, rather a heavy material, and of a sombre appearance, but which is much liked from its not being liable to fray, and from its being very useful ; it can be relieved by being trimmed and encircled with a velvet lace, put on quite plain, and giving the wrap a distinguished look. LES ROBES PY RAIIIIDES.--This is one of the latest novelties, And one which will, we have no doubt, be much in favour. Its name arises from its being orna mented with a considerable number of rows of velvet, of different widths.. This trimming reaches from the edge of the jupe, to within about two hands' breadth of the waist, and is particularly becoming to a slender figure, the corsage and sleeves being decorated to match. LE NANTEAU RUSSE.—This most elegant cloak is made either in plain or epingle velvet, lined with white silk slighly wadded, or a thin fur, very soft and warm. This cloak has also large sleeves, with facing to match, the entire garment being edged with a broad fur, com posed'of zibeline, Prussian or Canadian sabl e , gr eb e, or ermine, MUFFS.—This article, which h considered indispens able to a lady's winter costume, will be worn very small this present season, and without cords or tassels, lined with pretty light colours ; white is, however, considered the most elegant. The most fashionable colours for the winter season are all of a mixed and dark kind of shade : such as purple, dark blue, crimson, violet, the colour bois, emerald green, shades of green, also deep shades of orange. TUE MAYORALTY —The present Mayor, Thomas Sands, Esq., has now very . nearly fulfill e d t h e term o f his high office, and will resign his wand to his successor to-morrow week. It will b e rememb ere d t h at h e en tered upon his official duties somewhat und er a c l ou d, owing to th e irregularities which affected the old mode of assessing the town dues upon merchandise at this port, and the disputes consequent upon them ; but his house was the first to set the example of acceding to, and giv ing eff ec t t o , th e new system, which a pp ears to h ave worked, so f a r, with satisfaction to all p ar ti es . Mr. Sands, du r i ng his mayoralty, has been diligent at his post, impartial in all his proceedings, and hospitable to a degree, which has not only gratified his fellow-towns men, but has done honour, to, the, town in the eyes of royal and distingiiislaed strangers. It is supposed that Mr. James Lawrence will succeed him in the civic chair. —Liverpool Mercury. SUGAR FROM CIIINA.—From Sunday next sugttr may be imported from China under the following pro vision of the Act 7 and 8 Victoria, c. 28, sec. 5 :—"And be it enacted, that in case such sugar shall be imported from China, Java, or Manilla, or from any of the court= tries named in such Order in Council as hereinbefore is mentioned, the certificate so to be given to the collector or comptroller at the port of importation shall be under the hand and seal of the British Consul, Vice-Consul, Consular Agent, or other officer appointed in that be= half by her Majesty, at the place where such sugar was taken on board, and shall certify that a declaration in writing had been made before such Consul, Vice-Con sul, or Consular Agent, or any other officer, by the shipper of such sugar, that the same was really and bona fide the growth of the country in which the same was so taken on board, and than also certify that such Consul, Vice-Consul, or Consular Agent, or other officer, had examined the contents of such declaration, and believed the Dame to be true." - SPIRIT ef the PUBLIC JOURNALS,- FLOM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAI. GLOBE.—If Government be not positively im pervious to the lessons derived from welLascertained and established facts, obtained by an investigation conducted by a Select Committee of the House of Commons which sat in the last session, the duties on tobacco must undergo an early revision, with a view to a material reduction of their present enormous amount. This course is not merely dictated by sound policy; it is demanded by stern necessity. The contraband trade has increased so steadily—it has acquired a system so perfect, and an extent so enormous, that its precautions against de tection bid defiance to the regulations of the Excise and the vigilance of the Coast-guard. The revenue is robbed to an enormous extent ; and the fair trader is, at length, either reducel to the alternative of becoming a guilty participator in the illicit traffic, or he is involved in ruin, through in ability to compete in the market with the low prices at which the smuggler can afford to supply the article. Within the present week, a tobacco and snuff-manufacturer (named Thomas) carrying on business in Ratcliff-highway, appeared at Lambeth-street Police-office to answer two infor mations, charging him with having on his premises 17331b5. of smuggled tobacco, which had been found by the Customs' officers on thesth and 7th ult. The truth of the charge was admitted by the de fendant, who sthted, in excuse, in the first place, that the house in which he had resided and carried on business had been upwards of half a century in his family; and that such was the competition in his business at present, through the means resorted to by smuggling and adulteration, that goods were sold for much less than they could be fairly manufactured for. He should, therefore, throw himself upon the consi deration of the Court. " Mr. Henry—Then, what you mean to. say is, that you cannot carry on and live by your business without smuggling ? Defendant—Why, Sir, I did not say that .exactly ; but I have said that there is so much smug gling and adulteration in the trade, that there is no get ting a living in a regular way." The man was convicted in penalties amounting to 1681. 18s. sd. He also stands exposed to proceedings in another form, for having adulterated stuff in his possession, on which he will be liable to penalties amounting to 6001. Yet, notwithstanding the high amount of penalties on detection, and the vigilance of the Excise and Custom-house officers, it is estimated that from twenty to twenty-five mil lions of pounds of tobacco are annually smuggled into the United Kingdom—a larger quantity than finds its way into the market in the legitimate course of trade ! The returns made to the Select Com mittee of the House of Commons to which we have . alluded, show, that with a population which has doubled in numbers since the commencement of the present • century, the consumption of tobacco on which the duty has been paid has not increased in a proportion approaching to that ratio. In the ten years, from 1808 to 1818, the consumption of duty-paid tobacco was 189,083,261 lbs. ; while from 1818 to 1828 it was only 172,706,368 lbs.—showing a decrease on the whole of that period of 16,376,893 lbs. The Committee remark, that the decrease was greater by 6,000,000 lbs. The obvious conclusion is, that this great decrease in the amount of duty-paid tobacco consumed was owing to the extensive smuggling, which supplied the deficiency. If the twenty-four years from 1820 to 1843 be referred to, it will be found that the average yearly quantity of tobacco paying duty was 19,916,893 lbs. This shows an increase only of 1,818,567 lbs., compared with the ten years from 1808 to 1818. The evidence ap pended to the report displays a most instructive comment on the system of high duties. The nu merous ingenious schemes to which the smugglers have recourse to deceive the revenue officers, both afloat and ashore—the desperate risks they encounter —and the accurate calculations upon which they enter as to the chances of detection, and the number of " runs" which cover loss sustained by seizure—these matters were detailed to the Committee by witnesses who had themselves been actively engaged in smug gling, or had participated in the traffic, but who were indemnified by the Committee against the conse quences of their evidence. STANDARD.—The repeal faction in Ireland has been so utterly routed and disgraced by the proceed ings of her Majesty's Attorney-General in that king dom—let us never forget to whom we owe so great a service—that we should be ashamed to refer to their ignominious overthrow for any less purpose than to correct a serious error or to estab lish a useful principle in politics. Most of our readers will recollect that up to the commence ment of the State trials last year, it was the constant cry that Mr. O'Connell and his ac complices, priests and laymen, were not free agents, that the people it was who urged them onward, and the inference was not very logically drawn, that to deprive Mr. O'Connell of the power of controlling the people, by putting him into prison, must lead to civil war and anarchy. This rea soning, did not, however, prevail with the Right Hon. T. B. Smith; he put Mr. O'Connell into gaol ; ; -the luminary was eclipsed hebiii€l4 the walls of the .Richmond Bridevvell ; but the threatened night of anarchydid not follow ; Nox nulls secuta est. On the other hand, the obscuration of the portentous star was followed by the most peaceful, the most cheerful, and the most prosperous day in Irish his tory. True, he has been let back once mere into our system; but, like other comets, he comes back shorn of his beams, and al most destitute of a tail, and no longer " with fear of change perplexing kings," or any body else—comes back, not merely to be comparatively quiet himself, but to cause the quietness of others. Now this very clearly proves the falsehood of the notion that Mr. O'Connell was not a free agent last year—demonstrates that it taxed all his energies and all his audacity to excite the sedition of which he was represented as the passive . instrument. The r people areuthe• 'same people—)whh collected at, monster. meetings, established arbitration courts, promised to meet: in- Parliament on College-green with or without the Queen's writ. Why do not we hear anything of these projects now ? Because the people are afraid ? This could hardly be the case, because the punishment of the offence could hardly reach the millions of repeaters, we for get how many millions, it is so long since we heard of them. No, it is in truth because Mr. O'Con nell is afraid, because he has had a sharp hint that it is not safe to challenge the Government to "go either to war with him or to law with him"—because Mr. T. B. Smith has shown the danger of " hurling defiance at the Saxon" —that the repeal movement, monster meetings, nd all, are dead and gone. Now it is obvious that if the prudence or cowardice, call it which you will, of the one man, Mr. Daniel O'Connell, is sufficient to produce this sedative effect, Mr, Daniel O'Connell was the author and master, not the creature and servant, of the extinct sedition. So absolute and complete is still the man's power in his faction that he is able to control even the most violent, and what were' believed the most enthusiastic, journals in that faction. Upon this subject we refer to the annexed •extract from the Dublin Evening Packet, by which it will be seen that the Nation itself has been muzzled. There can be no doubt that, in the course of his treasonable progress, Mr. O'Connell may have felt something like an external pressure—just as the midnight summoner of cut-throats in Tipperary catches behind his ear some vibration of the blast which he blows, into the crooked cow's. .horn, but still it is merely his own breath he ieels, and when the breath ceases the discordant vibration from behind ceases also. Mr. O'Connell at Mallow " hurled defiance at the Saxon," with gesticula tions which are to be eternised in marble or in brass. Some of the poor savages about him shouted " lead us on against them." Foolish people inferred from this that the people were more forward for mischief than Mr. O'Connell. Now it was nothing of the kind. The whole was the in cendiary's own work. At the Mallow meeting he stood precisely in the position of the conjuror of the last century— " Katterfelto with . his hair on end, At his own wonders wondering for his bread." Mr. Moore has said of his countrymen something like this— " Oh there never were men, if our leaders would let us, More form'd to be loyal and blessed than ours," and the truth of the proposition seems to be sup ported by the events of the last year. Now what is the useful principle that we would deduce from this ? That in all cases of popular disorder, the leaders are always the leaders in fact as well as in appearance, and that they are the only fitting objects of punishment.

DREADFUL OCCURRENCE AT OLDHAM. • TWENTY-ONE PERSONS KILLED. We copy the following particulars from the pro vincial papers, in addition to those which we published on Saturday. (From the Manchester Courier of Saturday.) O.ie of the most extensively fatal disasters ever known in Oldham occurred on Thursday afternoon last. The scene of this deplorable catastrophe was a large cotton-mill, known as Lower House Mill, situate at Greenacre's Moor, belonging to Messrs. Josiah Radcliffe and Brothers. The old mill had re cently been considerably enlarged by the erection of an additional building, of equal height, six stories ; and on Wednesday afternoon the workmen had begun to lay the shafting in the lower story, and had got is a few looms, but no heavy machinery. The time when the aceident occurred, as near as we can ascertain, was half-past three o'clock on Thursday afternoon. There were at the time thirty two persons employed in the mill, including some bricklayers, plasterers, and painters, who were finishing off the upper stories; but the majority were mill hands, who were preparing for getting in:the ma chinery, and were employed in the second floor, and one immediately over the boiler-house. The catas trophe occurred quite suddenly. Of the survivors, a man named Lees, a plasterer, who was at work in the sixth story, gives the most detailed account of the ac cident. From his statement it appears that as he was plastering an arch, on the north side of the room, he observed that the brickwork of an arch near the centre of the floor of the story above, close to one of the iron cross beams of the floor, was giving way. In its giving way there appeared to be a moving of the arch itself, but none of the brickwork fell. Lees instantly left the room, and went as quickly as possible to the manager of the mill and acquainted him with the circumstance. The manager was at the other end of the mill at the time. He then returned to the spot he had left, and was just going on the scaffolding to resume his work of plas tering, not being absent more than seven or eight minutes, when he heard a sound as of a tremendous rush ; he was then about eight yards from the door leading into the corresponding story of the old mill ; he, as it were, almost instantaneously sprung over these eight yards, and had just got within the door way in a safe position, as it proved, when the floor on which he had been fell with an awful crash, carrying with it to the lowest story all the floors underneath, and rendering nearly every portion of the new part of the mill a heap of ruins, except one single range of windows, which are left standing from the bottom nearly to the highest parapet, presenting a singular appearance, forming the only remaining fragment of the new mill. The roof having, of course, lost its means of support, fell upon the lower floors, and served to add to the already large and frightful heap of ruins, underneath which had' been instantly buried all, or nearly all, the workpeople who were at work in the lowest story, and a few in the stories above them. The alarm created in the town and neighbourhood by this dreadful accident was ex tremely great ; hundreds of persons were on the spot in a few moments, and a number of men were set to work, without loss of time, for the p ur p ose o f re moving the materials, in order to discover the bodies of the sufferers as soon as possible. In little more than half an hour from the time of the accident, the magistrates and other authorities of the town were on the spot, and about five o'clock a detachment of the 67th Regiment of Foot, under the direction of En sign M'Dunnor, arrived from the barracks, and re mained on duty during the night and yesterday. The labourers engaged in removing the ruins worked during all the evening and night of Thursday by relays, and at noon yesterday the bodies of four teen persons (ten male and four female) had been dug out. There were still seven persons missing, two males and five females, whom there is every reason to believe have been killed. The total number who have been bereaved of life by this dreadful catas trophe may, therefore, be stated to be twenty-one persons, of whom sixteen were upwards of twenty years of age. Most of the bodies were shockingly crushed or otherwise injured. Seven other persons were more or less injured, and several very narrowly escaped. The appearance of the fallen- portion of the mill at the moment of the accident is described as horribly startling to those who witnessed it. The two main walls sprung, as it were, outwards, and then in stantly closed in, involving nearly the whole portion in one common ruin. The cause of this lamentable occurrence is not yet clearly ascertained ; but it can only be referred to one or two causes—the shrinking of the foundation of the old boiler-house, on which the mill was reared, or the breaking of one of the cast-iron prin cipals. The total damage to the mill and machinery probably amounts to 4,0001. The old mill, it is hoped, will be got to work again in about ten days. At present 800 hands are unem ployed in consequence of this disaster. (From the Manchester Guardian of Saturday.) It becomes our painful duty to record one of the most extensively fatal catastrophes that has happened in this neighbourhood for many years past ;—one, indeed, more terrific-in its - nature, and more fatal and disastrous in its consequences, - than anything that has occurred since a similar catastrophe at the fire proof factory of Mr. Nathan Gough, near Oldfield road, Salford, on Wednesday the 13th October, 1824, by which eighteen or nineteen persons lost their lives. This dreadful accident occurred on Thursday afternoon last, in a suburb of Oldham, named Lower House, Greenacres Moor, at the mills of Mr. Samuel Radcliffe and Sons, called -the Lower House Mills. The firm, now consisting of Messrs. Josiah Radcliffe and Brothers, the four sons of the deceased Mr. Sa muel Radcliffe, had recently built a new mill ad joining their old one, at one end ; and about half-past three o'clock on Thursday afternoon, the whole of this new mill fell in with a tremendous crash, at a time when there were thirty-two persons in it, of whom there is reason to fear that twenty-one have been killed, as the hodies of - fourteen - had - been found and taken from the ruins up to noon yesterday, and seven others were missing. Of the remaining eleven, five were more or less hurt, of whom one is not expected to recover; and six escaped with little or no injury. The following, we believe, will be found a tolerably correct list of the different class of sufferers : BIRMINGHAM. FRIDAY EVENING.—The elections for Town Coun cillors have just terminated in the return of Whigs, Tories, and Chartists.

It would thus appear, that at the time our re porter left, about one o'clock yesterday, there were, besides the fourteen persons known to be killed, and whose bodies had been found, seven others missing, being, in all probability, under the ruins, and doubtless all dead, viz., two men and seven females ; so that, the total number of persons who have lost their lives by this dreadful accident may be stated to be twenty-one tlersons ; twelve males and _5 • T nine females; of whom sixteen were u twenty years of age. Most of the bodies fully crushed and mangled. MAIMED AND OTHERWISE TYAT: Hannah Taylor; lived on the premises; iiiter;;;-r about sixty years of age; she received a compotuutLC— fracture of the leg, and is otherwise very muc#:lltqt,; c i s it was apprehended that her shoulder was dislocated. she was the wife of No. 10, who is killed. Betty Dearden, of Lower-house; aged 40 years ; a twister. She was got out about six o'clock on Thursday evening, very much scalded and bruised ; she was taken from the top of the boiler. She is married, and has several children. William Mills, of Pipe Row, or North Moor a bricklayer. Ile has received several cuts on the head and was on the roof when the building fell. Mrs. Rayner, of Lower House ; wire of the carter so much hurt that she is not likely to recover; she was going past the stables when the accident oc curred. Joseph Travis, of North Moor ; bricklayer ; said to be maimed. John Lees, of the Star Inn, Saddleworth, plasterer, who was running out at the time; cut in teveral places, and much bruised about the head, neck, aid back. He is a brother of Thomas Lees, plasterer, who had a narrow escape from the sixth story. Thomas Mellor, Higginshaw-lane, or Greenacn Moor, a bricklayer ; slightly hurt. ESCAPED WITHOUT SERIOUS INJURY. Joseph Mellor, of Dirt Car-lane, one of the en gineers; he was got out a few minutes after the accident. _ _ Robert Brierly, of Greenacres Moor, a painter ; his brush was struck from his hand by some of the falling material. John Rushworth, a painter. Thomas Lees, of the Star Inn, Saddleworth, plasterer. John and Thomas Whitehead (brothers), of Man chester- street, millwrights. Thomas Windle, millwright. James Whitworth, a stoker, who had a narrow escape. lie was mending the lire under the-boilers, in the fire-hole, below the ground-floor of the new mill. Hearing a tremendous crash and fall above him, he crept along the fire-hole, which is arched under the yard, and in this way escaped unhurt. It would be a vain attempt to endeavour to depict, the scene which ensued on the fall of the mill. The hands in the old mill, about eight hundred in number, quitted it immediately, and commenced working with the greatest energy, to remove the mass of building materials, and iron beams, pillars, &c., in order to rescue any of the sufferers who might still sur vive. One or two were thus rescued more or less hurt, and several bodies mere also found ; and, during the afternoon and evening, twelve bodies were taken from the ruins. On the first alarm, which, as may be expected, spread rapidly throughout Oldham, hun dreds of anxious relatives, chiefly women, might be seen hurrying towards the premises, in order to ascer tain if their relatives were amongst the sufferers. Several surgeons of the neighbourhood were promptly on the spot, and rendered every assist ance in their power. Amongst those mentioned as being first, were Messrs. John Renshaw, Wilkin son, Enoch, Dunkerley, Rowntree, and Fawcett. They inspected several of the bodies as they were discovered, and pronounced that life was totally ex tinct. They also examined several of the living suf ferers, applied dressings to their injuries, and gave directions as to their being conveyed home. We understand that a subscription has been com menced already for the bereaved families, and also for the living sufferers ; and the authorities of Old ham have convened a public meeting for this, Saturday evening, to promote this object. We understand that there is some intention to propose the transfer to this fund, of a considerable sum, report says 4001., the balance of a subscription some years ago, for the suf ferers by the destruction of the Union Mill by fire. FURTHER PARTICULARS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) SlR,—Since my last, several other bodies have been found dead, among which are the manager and his wo sons ; about sixteen now have been got out ; three or four are expected to recover. It is supposed there is five or six more missing. Several workmen tmployed on the uppermost stories were carried down to the ground, and escaped with slight bruises. Four or five painters, engaged in the interior, feeling the movement, had presence of mind to rush into the old mill, which joined to this, and were preserved. You may form some idea of the dis'aster, when I tell you that an extent of six stories in length, and the same in height, fell without a moment's warning. As to the cause, nothing certain can yet be assigned ; but it is generally supposed the walls were too weak to bear the weight of the columns and beams, which are all iron, and the floors being formed of heavier materials than usual, as it was intended to be fire proof. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, A CONSTANT READER. Oldham, Nov. 1. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 2.' The long vacation concluded yesterday, and Michaelmas Term commenced to-day. The Lord Chancellor was waited upon at his house, in Georg,:- street, Hanover-square, shortly after eleven, by the Lord Mayor elect, M r . Ald erman Gibb s , an d several members of the Corporation, when his Lord ship signified her Majesty's approval of him for Lord Mayor of London for the ensuing year. His Lordship afterwards, as is usual at Michael mas and Easter Terms, entertained the Judges, Masters in Chancery, and Queen's Counsel, at breakfast, and then, accompanied by the Learned Judges, proceeded in• State to Westminster to open the Courts. The Lord Chancellor took his seat about half-past one o'clock, attended by the Master of the Rolls, the Vice-Chancellor of England, the Vice-Chancellors Wigram, and Masters Sir G.Wil son and Duckworth. It was understood that the Vice- Chancellor Knight did not- attend his Lordship in consequence of there being no place in which he could sit. Surely at the present time, when the House of Commons is not sitting, the two Committee-rooms that have hitherto been devoted to the new Vice-Chancellors might again be placed at their disposal, instead of subjecting the bar to the inconvenience, in the first place, of one judge not sitting, and in the next of compelling them, amid the drenching rain, to cross from the courts at Westminster Hall to the Sessions-house. On the Lord Chancellor taking his seat, Mr. Hilyard and Mr. Thickust, on being appointed Queen's counsel, were called by his Lordship within the bar. The COURT then heard appeal motions. The appea of Toledo v. Vieta was postponed to a future dayl The Court then proceeded with other appeals, and rose shortly after three o'clock. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 2. The VICE-CHANCELLOR Or ENGLAND took his seat in his Court at Westminster, shortly after half-past one o'clock, and proceeded to hear motions, none of which possessed any points of public interest. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 2. (Sittings in Banco.) This being the first day of Michaelmas Term the Judges did not take their seats upon the bench until one o'c ock. LOCKWOOD V. WOOD. TOLLS OF EASINGWOLD MARKET AND FAIR. This was an action, brought by the plaintiff; the proprietor of Easingwold market and fair, to recover certain stallage from the defendant, who had erected a stall in the market-place of Easingwold. The defendant pleaded that the inhabitants of Easingwold were free from stallage. The case has been frequently argued, and tried more than once—the point to be decided being whether the exemption of the in habitants from toll, which was admitted to exist, in cluded also an exemption from stallage. The last occasion in which it was tried was at York, before the Lord Chief Baron, when a verdict was returned for the defendant. Mr. WATSON now applied for a rule nisi to set aside the verdict and enter a verdict for the plaintiff, or for a new trial, on the grounds, first, that there was no evidence to support the verdict: secondly, that the verdict was contrary to evidence; and. thirdly, that there had been misdirection on the part of the Learned Judge.—Rule nisi granted. - IN TIIE MATTER OF CHARLES BESSET—HABEAS CORPUS. Mr. CHAMBERS moved for a writ of habeas corpus directed to the Keeper of the Giltspur-street Compter, to bring up the body of Charles Besset, who was de tained under the provisions of the extra-tradition t rea ty with France. Several points would arise as to the construction of the Act of Parliament. The case had been already heard at Chambers, and. the Judge had directed application to the full court. Lord DENMAN—You had better take your writ at once. —Application granted. - - BAIL COURT, Nov. 2. Mr. Justice Patteson took his seat on the bench shortly after one o'clock. WEBSTER V. CHANDLER. Sir J. BAYLEY moved in this case for an inter' pleader rule on behalf of the defendant, calling on thii plaintiff and one James _Gibson to state th, nature of their claims to the Gallows ., stakes. It appeared that the defendant was tli steward of those races, and held a sweepstakes of 141., which was run for in three heats, between Fairy Queen, belonging to Mr. Gibson, and Hopping Kabe belonging to the plaintiff. Fairy Queen came ii! first twice, and Hopping Kate second. The owner or• the latter horse, however, claimed the stake, on th( ground that Fairy Queen was disqualified. The objet! which the defendant had in making this application was to prevent his being sued by both parties. Mr Justice PATTESON at first doubted whether thEi Court could interfere where the stakes were unde,t 50/, but on looking over the statute he found that th 4
