EVIA:N'INC'r TORY TREASON-THE CORN- LAWS. ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE, DEC. 20.—The Reformers of this place, anxious to purge their borough from the disgrace which had attached to it in consequence of the coarse treason spouted by some of the itinerant poli ticians who figured at the late Tory gathering, resolved to mate a public demonstration of their loyalty in the Very room which had been polluted by the offensive lan guage of the Tories. A public dinner was appointed to take place yesterday. Amongst the gentlemen present we noticed Charles Hindley, Esq., M.P. for the borough, Thomas Gisbor:ie, Esq., M.P. for Carlow, Joseph Brotherton, Esq., M.P. for Salford, 1 homes Potter, Esq., Mayor of Manchester, John Brooks, Esq., Borougbreeve of Manchester, Thomas Ellison, Esq,. of Glossop, Abel Buckley, Esq., Samue'. Swire, Esq., James Lord, Esq., Joseph B. Reyner, Esq., Frederick Reyner, Esq., Peter Leigh, Esq., Nathan Lees, Esq., James Lees, Esq., Frederick Lees, E .q.. B. M. Ken worthy, Esq., George Kenworthy, Esq , George 011e renshaw, Esq., John Buckley, Esq., .1 trues Buckley, Esq., Robert Platt, Esq., Robert W ood, Esq., John Baines, Esq., Gee, Esq., Arthur Hyde, Esq., John Hyde, jun., Esq., James Higinhotham, Esq.. Rev. Mr. Duval, Rev. Mr. Henderson, and a large number of the most respectable inhabitants of the town and neigh bourhood. William Wright, Esq., of Welbeck-house, occupied the chair ; and Edward Redfern, Esq , and Henry Lees, Esq., officiated as Vice-Chairmen. The CHAIRMAN proposed the first toast, which he observed it was the duty of every Briton to drink. He gave the health of " the Queen, Duchess of Lancaster, may and she be protected fr om th e rrechinations of her enemies, and may the blessings of Ger' rest. upon ber." The toast was drunk with nine times n' ne heerty cheers, and one cheer more. After the toests of " The People—the source of Le gitimate Power," and " His Serene Highness Prince Albert of Saxe Gstlaa," both of which were drunk with three times three, The Cumasiee gave " The health of Charles Hind- Icy, Esq., M.P. for the Borough of Ashton-under- Lyne." The tos.st was drunk with three times three, and one cheer more. Mr. HINDLEY said—Mr. President, Messrs. Vice- Presidents, and Gentlemen, I confess that I have fre quently been overpowered by your kindness, but never have I been so overpowered as on the present occasion. i rejoice to meet you, and I regret that the state of my health has prevenred me from electing a reach more numerous assembly, as I would have ad no hesitation in meeting a more lurnerous assembly if a larger place could have been g t in this town ; for I feel that our cause is the cause of human happiness and human pros perity. We wish no man to he set against Lis fellow man : we know uothing of that kind of party spirit by which man is set against his brother ; but we do de sire to settle all disquiets, to set all at peace. I con fess to you that in holding the situation which you have done ;me the honour of calling upon me to fill, if 1 know my own heart at all, I no desire ex cept to carry out these great principles of universal benevolence and universal happiness. I indeed thought that it would not have been necessary for me to walk again in the course of human improvement, so far as the people of this borough were cm- cerned.—(Hear, hear.) It is but r few weeks since tiles , blue walls— (Cheers,)—still f resh with our colour—notwithstanding all the attacks upon the Queen and her Court by the dire influence of the red party—l say it is only a few weeks ago since these walls were told by Mr. Roby, of Rochdale--(Hear, hear)—not of Ashton-under- Lyne—since these walls were told that if you attempted to get up a meeting of this kind there would be no chance of your succeeding in the attempt.—(Load cheering.) Why, if Mr. Roby had been right I should have had some hope of a little more fresh air than we are privileged to have this evening ; we should not have been so crowded as we are at present ; we should have had empty places, empty benches ; but there is nothing of the L ind.--(Cheers.) Gentlemen, it is some satisfaction to us to know that the vile words levelled at her Majesty and her Court were those of no Ashton man. The manner in which you have received the name of her Majesty, and the readiness with which you have gathered here, in numbers so numerous, and so high in intelligence, is the best proof of the respect entertained for the Queen. Gentlemen, will you allow me to detain you for a few moments in giving you my opinions on the present aspect of political affairs. If I should happen to be wrong, I feel that my Hon. Friends 00 my right and left wil be able to correct me; but I will give you my opinions candidly and honestly, because I feel the truth of the sentiment contained in the song which was sung by Mr. Platt-- " It is gowd to be merry and ease, It is good to be honest and true ;" (Cheers). —end I feel that if anything more than another is required from a representative, it is to be " honest and true"---(Cheers)—it is to declare his opinions 0 openly and candidly to his constituents ; if they ap- prove of them, let them say so ; and if they do not, he will surely listen to any argument they have to advance to the contra.. y. With reference to the present Ad miuistration—( Hear)—your Chairman has well said how as tonished he was that they have been able to keep their places. For my part, I can only expi ess my astonishment also. They have had so many difficulties to encounter that it is wonderful they are in office at Ipresent. There is a certain portion of the R e f orm party, who think tnat the Reform interest would be bettered if you turned the present Ministers out.— (Hear.) I should say so too, if you could show me the way to get a better.—(Cheers.) If the Tories had shown any disposition to consult the welfare of the • people, then 1 should have said," Let them take place." s uppose [ single out one Ineesure, and consider their /conduct upon it. Take the Electors' Removal Bill, for Lisstance. It was brought in by Mr. Gibson, who, because he showed something of Liberal spirit, was turned out—they cast him to the winds, and threw out the Electors' Removal Bill likewise, In that conduct I see no symptom of their desire for the good of the people. I do not see, then, Iwhy I should throw Jut the present Ministers, when, I have no chance of getting better men. You are aware that one of the most important questions in the last Session of Parliament was the question of education. I do think that any Government neglects its duty to the people unless it take care that education shall be ma ' vorsally diffused ; and of such importance is this senti trent esteemed, even by some of the Sovereigns of , Europe, that tne King of Prussia, on being asked by his subjects to give them a charter for securing their popular rights, said, " I give you the education of the people, and that will render it impossible for any son of mine to trample upon the rights and liberties of the men , of Prussia."—(Cheers.) Let us circulate education ~ from John-o'-Groat's to the Land's End, throughout the ) length and breadth of the lard. I will admit that re iligious principles should I e inculcated along with educe ( tion of a more general natnre, I desire to see that ; but ) when I am asked by a certain party to give them a mono ( poly of religious education in this land—to say that no person but a Church Minister is to have anything to do with the religions instruction of the people, so tar as any State enactment goes—l say it is utterly repugnant to common principle, common sense, a nd common justice, and I must rouse my assent to it —(Cheers)—and I should think it exceedingly strange if the people of Ashton, after having shown such an af fection for the principles of civil and religious liberty, were to say that the education of the people must be given up to any one particular sect. In the next Session of Parliament we shall have to enter on the question of the Currency, which is at the present moment of' immense importance.—( Hear, hear, hear.) I do hope we shall meet that question as we ought to do, and that the voice of the trading community may be heard in the House of Commons, in order that we may nut be rode rough-shod over by the Bank of England. I feel how mach the currency of this country has to do with every one of us i and when I look at the con duct of the Bank of the United States, assisted as she was at one time by the Bank of England—and when I sec some gentlemen, who were in circumstances of in dependence, removed by her operations to circumstances of poverty, submission, and dependence on their credi tele—l, feel how much we ought to attack these mono polies vivheo we have the power. I was going to make a remark .respecting a Government: appointment. 1 hop e it won't be understood that I have any objection to the gentleman who has been appointed to the office °l.Y iee-Preeident of the Board of Trade. You cannot suppnse that any bigotry would allow me to object to Mr. Spiel because he is a Catholic.—(Cheers.) Oh no, The Catholic Emancipation Bill has been passed, and I hope it will be carried out. Far would it be from me to object to Mr. Shiel's appointment to some offices in her Majesty's Government, and, looking to the talents of that gentleman, I say that to some office he ought to be appointed ; but when he is appointed Vice. Fresident of the Board of Trade, as Member of a trad ale borough I must object to him, because ne is not ac qua;oted w ith trade .—(H ear, .---, --ear, hear.) He gave hi s vo t e directly in (al oppostt,on to th e repeal of the Corn-laws, to a topi c and this lese!s m e w. .eh I cannot shrink from at pleesent—(Cheers)-1 mean the a lt era ti on o f tho Corn-laws. I remember when first I had the honour of appeasing bedre the electors of Ashton I illustrated the situation of a Member end _kis co nstituents by the A simile of a ship sailing from Ltrerpoet W i th goods in search of acme new market. I know my worthy friend. quietly ! the Borougitreeve of Manchester , who sits go and pleasantly with my other worthy friend _ were t o ask on my r i g h t, 1 the Mayor of Manchester—(Cheers) —lf .I my worthy friend, who is in the habit of risking a hun dred or two hundred thousand pounds worth of good s upon the sea at one time, if he would seed his goods OD board any vessel, first pledging the c aptain of the vessel to point his prow from Liverpool strai g ht to the intended port, never ..lking any notice of the wind or t ide, and if I we re t o as k bin) If he w ould . put his good on board the vessel of the ,capta i n " pledging himself, I am quite certain he would ausgfeT " No.' He would say to the captain, " Make the best of the wind, make the best of the tide, make the best tof the waves, but guide my goods safely to the sh or e of the port as quickly as you can." I think it is the duty L 6 1 a representative to take the same course in Parlia- 1 pl.\ . throe. ment, particularly when some important question is in agitation. Of all questions, the question of the Corn laws is the bread and cheese question in this district. As for myself personally, I have not a brick—not an were—nor a blade of grass—l have not a pound which tiers not depend on this question ; and if I look upon it as the representative of Ashton, I feel its importance upon political grounds. But more, I look upon it as a question affecting my personal character. You are all aware that if anything brought me into political life —if anything brought me before the electors of A s hton, it was my advocacy of free trade a nd the abolition of all monopolies. I am, therefore, pledged to this question. Rut it is the more nec e ssary to look at this question in all its bearings. My opinion is that we peril the ques tion by demanding an immediate and total reperepeal.-- ( Hear, and cries of " No.") I believe we do peril the question. If we take a moderate course, and if we ask for a moderate fixed duty, we shall most probably b e able to get the Ministers to bring a Bill into Patha n- ent, and we shall then know how much we are da maged by this law, and we shall then be able to take such a course as will be of advantage to the whole count-y.—( Hear, hear.) I have often thought that the political influence of the large towns in Lancashire, Yorkshire, and other places, was less than it ought to be in Parliament ; and my opinion is, that by maintain ing our principles with better tactics, we should be able to arrive sooner at the point we seek. You may be of a different opinion ; but I will ask my friends on my right and my left whether we should not succeed better by going for a low fixed duty, than for a total and immediate repeal of the Corn-law. I am not for everything or nothing; I am for something.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) If lam agree d w ith you as to t h e propr i ety of going down stairs, it does not follow that I should jump from top to bottom, and risk my neck, when I have the steps to go down by. I do implore you on this question, so important to us all—l implore you to take a wise view of it. I hope there will be no divi sion amongst the anti-Corn law men, and in the next Session I hope we shall be able to show a bold and proud front. These are my opinions. I will act up to them honestly, and I hope we shall have a beneficial result. Allow me now to give " The Electors of Ashton-under-Lyne." The Hon. Gentleman sat down amid loud cheers. The toast was drunk amidst loud applause. The CHAIRMAN next gave " The health of Thomas Gisborne, Esq., M.P. for Carlow, and the Liberal Members of the House of Commons." The toast was drunk with three times three, and one cheer more. Mr. GISBORNE was received with hearty bursts of applause. The Hon. Gentleman said—Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, I beg to assure you that I shall use no treasonable or seditious language to-night.—(Loud cheers.; If there be in this room any military officer, I beg to state to him that he shall not be called upon, by any thing that I shall say, to rise up and protest against my principles and words, or otherwise to leave the room—(Shouts of laughter, and cheers)—nor, in the third place, and still more, shall that military officer, supposing there be one here, incur the risk of a public censure from the Commander-in-Chief.--(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, it is my opinion that it is the duty of a Re former, which I humbly profess to be, to be rather stre nuous in action than fluent in words. Coming here out of respect to your Worthy Representative —out of re spect to the independent electors of Ashton, not alto gether unacquainted, not altogether unconnected with your borough, I feel I am here as a stranger and a guest, and therefore I should say that any attempt on my part to play first fiddle on this occasion would be exceed ingly misplaced. At the same time, gentlemen, I must say, that the sentiments which I have heard from your Honourable Member and other persons in this room, do touch a few chords in my mind, and I cannot be silent. —(Cheers.) Coming into a trading ':neighbourhood, the first subject to which my mind has been directed is the subject of free trade ; and it is my happiness since I entered the House of Commons not to change the principles which I carried in with me on this sub ject. It is true that we have made some advance in the progress of free trade, but when I think of the Corn-laws and the list of monopolies and privileges which exist, I feel that we have made but little pro gress. At present almost every matter of import ance is a matter of monopoly or privilege. First of all there is the monopoly of food ; next a monopoly o f corn ; then we have a monopoly of religion. Then we have a monopoly of education, a monopoly which the personsvvho have the monopoly of religion wish also to get into their hands. Passing on to secular matters, we find a monopoly of money—privileges given to certain bodies to determine the situation of every man in this country, and which can alter the situation of debtor and creditor. Passing on to colonial produce, we have a monopoly of sugar, and, in short, we have a monopoly of every single article, either physical or moral, which it is possible for monopoly and privilege to embrace. These circumstances call upon every Member of Parliament— and not only do they call upon every Member of Par liament, but they call upon the constituency also, to put themselves forward in the cause of free trade. It is the lukewarmness of many parties on the subject of the Corn-laws which makes me despair of seeing a change in them, rather than any impediments which we have to encounter.—(Hear.) When I see the heads of so many commercial and manufacturing places do not exert themselves to obtain a repeal of the Corn-laws, I say you have traitors in your camp.—(Hear.) It is better there should be no misunderstanding on the sub ject, and I think, until the commercial classes are more determined on their part to get rid of the Corn-laws, we cannot get a repeal of those laws. I hardly meant to have spoken on the subject of the Cnrn-laws ; but I felt myself called upon to say something, in consequence of what fell from my Honourable Friend, your Repre sentative. He tells you that he has made up his mind how he shall vote ; but I tell you fairly, I have not made up nay mind.—(Cheers.) Is it not monstrous that at the present time, whilst so great a depression exists in the manufacturing districts, we are not able to send for bread to any quarter whence it may be procured, merely because it has pleased Providence to visit us with two bad harvests ; one harvest having been deficient in quantity, and the other deficient in quality, so as to keep down the price of corn, instead of raising the ave rages to such a price that foreign corn can come in when the quantity of good corn in the country is very little indeed ? These are monstrous iniquities which I, so long as I have a seat in Parliament, will endeavour to defeat.—(Cheers.) I shall see my ground clearly be fore I make up my mind. I am for getting some thing.—(Loud cheers.) When we tried for the Reform Bill I tell you I don't think we got enough, but we tried for a great deal at that time, and when we got if I thought it a very great deal indeed. I did not think we should get it ; but if we had tried for less I don't think we should have got anything at all. And so I say about the Corn-law.—( Hear, hear.) If we try for a great deal we shall carry the enthusiasm of the people along with us, and then we shall have a chance )f getting a great deal. But if we limit the mea sure of our endeavours so much us to make the great body of the people, and the great boiy of sensible and reflecting men indifferent as to whether we sacceed or not, then, depend upon it, we shall get nothing at all. Now, I say this with:the greatest respect to my Honour able Friend. lam only giving him a lecture in the pre sence of you ; and I hope, with your support, it will do him a great deal of good.—(Cheers.) A t the conclu sion of his speech the Hon. Gentleman wis greeted with three cheers and one cheer more. The next toast given from the Chair was " The health ni the Hon. Member for Salford—Joseph Brotherton, Esq." Drunk with three times three and one cheer more. Mr. BROTHERTON returned thanks, contenting him self with saving " ditto" to Dr. Gisborne. The Hon. Gentleman submitted that Mr. Hindley must have been misunderstood with reference to the Corn-law question. Having entered at length into an exposition of his views on the question of free trade, the Hon. Gentleman passed some severe reflections on the stand-still policy of the Tories. After some further toasts, The CHAInmAN proposed the health of " Thomas Ellison, Esq., of Glossop." Drunk with three times Mr. ELLtsoN rose, and having expressed the pleasure he had in attending the meeting, said—Though you have had an incursion of the Tories, and though this room has been contaminated by them, though some dis loyalty has been perpetrated in the town of Ashton, and upon the inhabitants thereof, we have given to this apartment a thorough fumigation.—(Cheers.) It is recorded in the past annals of this borough by some traditionist of Lancashire—(Cheers)—that there existed as a scourge for this borough a most redoubted Tory, who obtained the distinctive cognomen of " The Black Lad."—(Shouts of laughter.) This black l a d was a Tory, who wanted to have his own way, and wanted to do what he liked with his own — (Laughter)—and, like other black lads, told them that if they did not do what he wanted of them, he would play the devil , with them. It would be an extraordinary coincidence if in the course of some future year I was to describe the ob jects of interest, and in so doing describe the worthy operative Conservative, or Conservative operative, who distinguished himself on that occasion. —(Cheers.) think that when I mention him as operative Conserve. tive, or Conservative operative, I should not speak of him in that simple character—l will call him the great power-loom weaverof political fustian.—( Loud laughter.) I don't think, after the recent exhibition that gentleman has made here, he will come again to talk political Bil lingsgate to the "fiat fish" of Ashton.—(Cbeers.) When I say "flat fish," I do not mean the worthy "soles" (souls) who were collected here, but I mean another kind of " flat fish" to which the Tories have a most ' ravenous attachment, They call it " plaice" (place). —(Shouts of laughter.) Having disposed of the great political operative Conservative, and consigned him to the place befitting him, allow me to congratulate you upon my having heard as good political doctrine as ever I heard in my life. At a little past eleven o'clock, the list of toasts having been gone through, the compata- 1 retired highly deiiil:ted with the proceedings of the evening. Lord of and Lady chetwynd are entertaining a party f r i e nds at their seat i s Ocfordshire. THE SUN, LONDON. WEDNFSDAY, DECEMBEI -25,1P39. LA W INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Dse. 24. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR was occupied the greater part of the day with hearing the arguments, in his private room, in the cases of Searle v. Gray and Ibbotson v. Ibbotson. BENTLEY V. WILLIAMSON AND OTHERS. Mr. K. BRUC➢ applied on behalf of Mr. Bentley, for a special injunction to restrain defendants from the publishing, in a periodical, the work called " Sam Slick, or the Clockmakcr." The copyright of the work in question, which was written by Judge Halliburton, belonged to the plaintiff, who, a few days since disco vered that part of the work had been pirated by the defendant, who had advertised his intention of com pleting the work in two more numbers. Under these circumstances, the plaintiff, for his own protection, was obliged to make the present application. His HoNouß granted the injunction. It is gene-ally understood that the Court will not sit again till the first day of Hilary Term. ROLLS' COURT, DEC. 24. The MASTER of the ROLLS was occupied the whole of the day with short causes and petitions, which were devoid of any feature of public interest. The Court will not sit again until the first day of Hilary Term. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, DEO. 23. EXTENSIVE BREACH OF TRUST. Archibald Torry, whose case had been before the Court on several occasions, appeared for judgment. He was opposed by Mr. Nichols for a Mr. James Torry Douglas, his nephew, and was supported by Mr. Cooke (with whom was Mr. Woodroffe). The insolvent had been land steward and secretary to the late Earl of Buchan, and claimed a considerable sum under his estate. He was likewise a creditor of the late Lord Cardross, who had married his daughter, and claimed a large sum. These two sums exceed his own debts, which were set forth at upwards of 2,0001. His nephew, James Torry Douglas, had been found by the examiner of this Court, to be a creditor for some where about 1,6001. A question was raised on the part of the insolvent, and the judgment was deferred until the Commissioners had been consulted on the point. The insolvent to-day addressed the Court, stating that he had been pursued by his nephew in the Court of Chancery, the Courts of Scotland, and this Court. He referred to the decision of the Recorder of London, in the case of the Marquis of Huntly, that a person could be only sued in one Court ; but he (the insol vent) had been sued in three. He showed that his claim against the late Earl of Buchan would be shortly paid, and also his claim from Lord Cardross's estate. He was, therefore, not insolvent. Mr. Commissioner BowsN gave judgment. He ob served that the opposing creditor was perfectly justified in this case in pursuing the insolvent in the several Courts, in order to recover his claim against him. He had consulted his Learned Colleagues on the question raised, which was that the insolvent could be remanded on the opposition of Mr. James Torry Douglas, as his mother, the late Mrs. Douglas, was the real creditor and he was only the administrator, and no breach of trust had been committed against him. His Learned Colleagues were of opinion that Mr. James Torry Douglas was as much a creditor as administrator, and stood in the same position as his mother would have done were she alive. It would have been gross injustice to have arrived at any other conclusion. The insolvent had committed a gross breach of trust. In 1835 his- brother, John Torry, died almost sud denly, withola a will, and the insolvent and Mrs. Janet Douglas (the mother of the opposing creditor) were entitled to the property. The insolvent was allowed to take out letters of administration on his promise to divide the assets. He had received about 3,200/., and only 631. had been paid on account of Mrs. Douglas or her son. He (the insolvent) had appropriated the money to his own use, and it had been contended that he had more owing to him than he owed, and was not liable to be arrested, because the creditors would be paid. The argument was perfectly new to the Court, and as well might it be said that a person indicted for felony was not to be punished because the property had been recovered. This insolvent had kept the parties four years out of their property, and the judg ment was that he be imprisoned at the suit of the op posing creditor for a period of sixteen calendar months tor contracting his debt fraudulently, by means of a breach of trust. POLIC.E INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HO USE. DECK LOADlNG.—Alderman Copeland appeared at the Mansion House, for the purpose of requesting that the Lord Mayor would, as Conservator of the River Thames, issue directions to the harbour masters to re port all vessels that should come into the port of London deck loaded. Alderman Pirie was sitting with the Lord Mayor at the time. Alderman Copeland said that he was led to make the application in consequence of the fact, that notwithstanding the passing of the Act of the 2d and 8d of Queen Victoria, cap. 44, entitled. an Act to prevent ships clearing out froni a British North American port loading any part of their cargo of tim ber upon deck, many captains of vessels still continued that practice. That Act, which was brought into Parliament by Mr. Palmer, was calculated to do great good by preventing great mischief. The loss of life which, according to the evidence before the Committee of the House of Commons, was occasioned by the practice of deck loading, was prodigious, and exceeded he believed any other casualties at sea, and common humanity demanded a powerful effort from every man to put an end to a system which it would seem, from what had been recently stated, even defied the law. A letter appeared in the Cork Constitution, which showed that there were persons who were deter mined to continue the practice, notwithstanding the penal enactment. After reading the letter, he said, the subject was one which had the strongest claims on humanity, and which, at the same time, appeared to require, in a paramount degree, the interference of the Chief Magistrate of this great commercial city. He trusted his Lordship would take the most public means to issue directions to the officers of the Conservancy to see that the Act was not violated. Alderman Psaza said that - Alderman Copeland had previously expressed the opinion, which he (Alderman Pirie) entertained on the subject. He had had a long experience of matters connected with the loading of North American traders, and he was convinced that the deck loading in the late season was disastrous in the most frighful degree. The loss of life was in fact incre dible to those whose business was not associated with commercial enterprise. Vessels became, by being deck loaded, water-logged, and went down. In many cases the deck , cargo shifted to leeward, and it was impossible to work the pumps, and in the late season the dangers were invariably increased in consequence of the severe weather. The LORD MAYOR said he was glad that Alderman Copeland applied to hirn upon a subject of such mo ment. He had seen the evidence taken before the Par liamentary Committee on the subject, and certainly it formed the most powerful ground-work for the Bill which had been introduced. Alderman COPELAND begged to refer to some points of that evidence. He then read parts of the evidence of Mr. Somas, Alderman Pirie, and other great ship owners. Mr. Somes said a groat loss of ships is occa sioned by bringing home deck loads in the winter season. Forty or fifty tons on deck require correspond.. ing quantity of ballast at bottom. They are so deep when scudding in a gale of wind, they cannot steer within three or four points of the compass. I think ships ought to be subjected to survey before they go to sea. There are many in the timber trade which are not sea-worthy. From their defective state they will not have them surveyed, nor classed in the books. The principal cause of the loss of ships in the timber trade in the sea is the badness of the ships and the deck cargoes. I think there ought to be an Act of Parliament against taking a cargo on deck. I know the loss in American ships occa sioned by heavy loads. In taking a deck load a ship of 400 tons may have from 40 to 50 tons weight on the upper deck. To keep the ship on her legs she must carry a corresponding quantity of ballast, that brings a ship so deep in the water that she is not seaworthy. I have seen them many times come into the Thames in that state. Alderman PIRIE said that there could be no doubt of the accuracy of the testimony, and the same authority agreed with him that the owner lost by the practice of deck-loading, by the enormous wear and tear, and loss of life most particularly. The owner had to pay extra insurance, and extra wages to the men for going into the trade. Supposing that he got 40 loads on deck at 21. per load, he lost more than that additional freight in wear and tear, which he could not recover from the underwriters. He (Alderman Pirie) hoped that those who were disposed to evade the law, would be informed of the danger. Alderman CO PELAND sa id t h a t ho c ould scarcely sup press his indignati on at seeing the latter complaining o f the law which was so admirably calculated to save the lives of thousands of our fellow creatures. The LORD MAYOR said he should at once issue orders to the Harbour Masters upon the subject. BOW-STREET. Yesterday Anne Browne, the servant who was charged on the previous day with plundering her master, Mr. Holden, of Bath -terrace, Camberwell New-road, of se veralof jewellery a nd wearing apparel, w as final exami na tion. b r e Mrs.ug h articlest Holden,the prisoner's late mistress, stated that she had been in her service only a fortnight; a n d on her return from chapel last Sunday, she found the house in great disorder and the prisoner absent. On making a search up stairs she discovered that a drawer had been broken, from which the purse produced, containing seven sovereign s and other monies had been abstracted. Witness identifi e d all the articles produced as her pro perty, and that of her husband, and they had been safe at the time she left the house. Evidence was then given in support of the charge, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. MINES.

In the week just ended, nearly thirty thousand more letters passed through the Dublin Post-office than in the corresponding week in the month of November, and on some days of the by-gone week the number of letters was doubled. The total increase, from the sth inst., is sixty-five thousand, being about thirty thousand per week.—Dublin Evening Post. POWDER-MILL EXPLOSION ANI) LOSS OF LIFE. Yesterday a Jury was empanelled before Mr. Wakley, iCoroner, at the Red Lion Inn, Feltham, Middlesex, to nvestigate the circumstances connected with the death of Thomas East, a labourer in the employ of Messrs. Harvey and Curtis, the proprietors of powder-mills at Hounslow, who met his death in consequence of the in juries he received by the explosion of one of the mills in which he was employed on Wednesday last. Mr. Harvey was present during the proceedings. David Williams deposed that he was a millwr;ght, and on Wednesday last he was at work near one of the mills belonging to Messrs. Harvey and Curtis. The deceased and another man, named John Ja cobs, were at work in one of the mills. About two o'clock he saw this mill suddenly ex plode, and immediately afterwards 'he observed the deceased in the stream at tne side of the mill, and ht• waded across and commenced tearing his clothes off. He had seen the deceased and the other men a short time before the accident happened, and they were both perfectly sober, and the deceased had borrowed a copper hammer of him for the purpose of knocking the scales of powder off the mill, and he heard him hammering, and he had no doubt that he had by the friction caused the accident. The CORONER asked whether it was usual for the workmen, when engaged in clearing out the mills, to knock off the scales of the powder in this manner The witness said it was, but they had orders to wet the mill and the powder before they commenced ham mering. Examination continued—Witness had no means of knowing whether the deceased had wetted the powder before he began to work. He had no doubt that the explosion was the cause of the deceased's death. The man Jacobs, who had been working with the deceased, was also seriously injured, but he was expected to re cover. Lucy East, the widow of the deceased, was then examined—She deposed that the deceased was twenty• seven years of age, and he left her in perfect health to go to his work on the day in question. He was brought home wounded about two o'clock, and after he was put to bed he told her he was sure he should not recover. He then said that he had brought it all upon himself, and that he ought to have wetted this mill according to the orders he had received from his employers before he went to work, and he repeatedly said that no one was to blame but himself. After some remarks by the Coroner, One of the jurymen said that upon former occa sions, where four or five men were blown up, there were a dozen applicants the next day ready to take their places. The CORONER then observed, that after the evidence that had been adduced, there could be no doubt but that the deceased had met his death lqy accident, and that no blame was to be attributed to any party. The Jury expressed themselves perfectly satisfied, and returned a verdict that the deceased was burnt to death by the accidental explosion of a powder mill in which he was at work. We have learned, upon what we consider good authority, that the Penny Postage plan is to come into operation in January. We have not heard the day fixed, but most probably it will be the fifth, which is the com mencement of the financial quarter.--Greenock Advertiser. No I is a useful word—be not afraid to use it. Many a man has pined in misery for years, for not hav ing courage to pronounce that little monosyllable. A HOSPITABLE INVITATION.—" Come in out of the wet," as the shark said to the young nigger, when he took him into his victualling office. A depot for spurious coin has lately been dis• covered at Birmingham, and a large seizure made. Per haps at no time was the circulation of counterfeit coin so general as at present. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.—From a return lately published, it appears that the number of students at present resident in the University of Cambridge is 1,825, out of which number, in the seventeen Colleges of the University, 1,217 are living in chamber in the Colleges, and 608 in apartments in the town. MISS INNES, OF STOW.—The will of the late Miss Jane Innes, spinster, of Picardy-place, Edinburgh, and Stow, in North Britain, has just been proved in the Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury, in Doctors' Commons, by George Scott and John Thomp son, Esqrs., the executors. The deceased was pos sessed of upwards of 800,0001. in the funds, and pro perty in different parts of Scotland to the amount of 1.200,0001., making together the enormous sum of two millions, the whole of which the testatrix has be queathed to be equally divided amongst all her rela tions who can be found, without respect to the nearest of kindred. About five years since the testatrix be came entitled to 500,000/. upon the death of her brother, he having died intestate, and she being his on►y next of kin. Notwithstanding the immense wealth of the deceased lady, her habits were very penurious, and, as a proof of it, it may be only necessary to mention one fact ; one dark evening she had occasion to go up ' stairs, which she did without lighting a candle, and in consequence of her advanced age (nearly 80), she slipped down and broke her leg, and which accident ultimately caused her death. COUNTRY NEWS.—The most prominent, and by far the most painful, feature furnished by the various provincial papers, is theldistressed condition of the popu lation. The amount of suffering, in the manufacturing districts more especially, is lamentable. Hundreds of honest men, willing and able to work, are dependent on charity for just so much food as will keep them alive. We are rejoiced, however, to observe the alacrity with which the more affluent classes come forward with their " subscriptions" and " seasonable benefactions." As to politics, almost all the Tory Papers spsak of being authorized to announce the dissolution of Parliament. " The Ministers (so say the Conservative scribblers) have submitted to their fate, and, not daring to attempt carrying on the business of Parliament with a majority of between two and five, have determined to play the Court cards in their hand, and in the next deal cut for partners." Newport was again, last Friday, thrown into a state of alarm, supposing that the Chartists were coming down from the hills ; but there was little other ground for the alarm than that which the firing off of sou e small cannon at a gentleman's seat, for amuse ment, furnished. Teetotalism pervades the country, and it would seem that the Irish are not to enjoy a , 4monopoly of "the great moral revolution." Large vege ..tables of all kinds, prodigious potatoes, and gigantic 'turnips, cabbages, &c., &c., figure in the country papers. The mildness of the season is another subject insisted on. And merry Christmas, with its host of pleasurable associations, is welcomed as heartily into the country as we in town now hail its advent. DISTRESS OF THE WORKING CLASSES TN ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE PARISH.—(From a Correspon dent.) —At the last pay-day of the overseers of Ashton, the applications were so numerous, th a t the officers were compelled to stay till one o'clock in the morning, in order to get through the business ; whilst on previous occasions, for many years past, the business of relieving was over at three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Nor is it the parish of Ashton alone that is thus suffering the inhabitants of the ‘, djoining parish of Saddleworth (who are mostly employed in the woollen trade) are almost destitute of employment, and the poor's-rates are scarcely collectable ; nor is the township of Oldham much better situated as respects employment and desti tution. Surely every town and village will now move, in order to second the noble example of Manchester. It only wants a united people, masters as well as men, to step forward, boldly but yet respectfully demanding a change in the Corn-laws. —Manchester Guardian. THE LAW OF I 0 U.—ln the Palace Court last Friday, judgment was given the case of Holt and another v. Hart. The action was brought to recover the sum of 1.5/. on an I 0 U, alleged to have been given by the defendant in satisfaction of a debt con tracted at Boulogne, where, as well as in London ; the plaintiffs kept a lodging•house, and the defendant and his family had resided with them. The I 0 U bore no date or place. On the trial it was contended that the document had not been proved to have been given within the jurisdiction of the Court. The Learned Judge, however, left the Jury to decide that question, and they found a verdict for the plaintiff. The Court was then moved to enter a nonsuit, on the ground that under the plea of general issue, whi c h th e d e f en d ant h a d p l ea d e d, the onus was on the plaintiff to make out his case that the promise to pay was made within the jurisdiction. For the plaintiff it was urged that the defendant ought to have pleaded in abatement that the Court had no jurisdiction. The Learned Judge, in giving judg ment, said he had carefully consider e d the case quo ted from the superior Court s , an d a l t h o ugh it was breakin g through the practice of this Court for thir t y y ears, yet he must give w a y t o th e a uthorities before him, and say that the I 0 U oug ht no t to have been received as ev i_ &rice, without it s b e ing shown that it was given withi n the jurisdiction.

(Abridged from the Glasgow Herald, Tory paper.) On Saturday last, a public meeting was held in the Town Hall, in consequence of a requisition which had been addressed to the Lord Provost, for the purpose of considering the present Corn-laws, with the view to petitioning Parliament for their repeal. Shortly after the hour appointed, the Hall was densely crowded. Mr. WILLIAM Mit Ls was called to the chair. Messrs. Oswald and Dennistoun, the Members for the City, were present. Mr. MILLS stated the objects for which the meeting had been called. Mr. JOHNSTON, in a short speech, moved the first resolution, which was seconded by Bailie Small. It is as follows " Resolved Ist, That Great Britain does not, on an average of years, produce sufficient food for its inhabi tants, whilst on the other hand foreign countries, from the uncertainty of British demand, are not prepared to supply our wants in deficient seasons. That during the two years now ended no less than near 4,620.000 quarters of foreign grain have been imported, amount ing in value to 12,000,0001. sterling, a large part of which has been bought at exorbitant prices, and paid for in gold. That this great and sudden drain of bullion, by rendering money scarce, has depreciated all kinds of ma nufactures and produce, has paralysed trade, and, by draining the coffers of the Bank Of England, has threat ened the country with the disgrace and ruin of a na tional bankruptcy. " That these effects may be clearly traced to the operation of the Corn-laws, and that a recurrence of similar disasters must be expected, so long as they exist. That, therefore, in the opinion of this meeting, the na tional safety imperatively demands that these laws be re pealed." Mr. Mora (the late Delegate to the Chartist Con vention) then claimed a hearing, amid a round of ap plause from his friends. He would go hand in hand with the proposers of the resolution, in seeking a repeal of the Corn-laws ; but he wished a clause to be added to it. After reading the proposed additions, Mr. M. dipped pretty largely into the arena of political discussion—spoke of the mortal incubus of the national debt, which, in all justice, should have been paid by those in defence of whose pro perty it was expended—said it had the effect of inflict ing an additional 16d. per lb. upon tea, 2s. upon to bacco, and that two-thirds of the whole thing were paid by the working classes. In proposing his addition to the resolution, he felt no sympathy in the world for the landlords, but conceived it to be fair that such a reduc tion should take place. The supplementary resolution of the Chartist Delegate was as follows :—" Accom panied by such a reduction in the taxation as will en able the agriculturist, as well as the manufacturer, in their altered circumstances, to enter into successful competition with the comparatively untaxed foreign merchant." This was duly seconded. After a little considera tion, Mr. JOHNSTONE said he had no objection that it should be added to the resolution, and the whole were accordingly put from the chair, and carried unanimously. Mr. WALTER BUCHANAN moved the second reso lution. In doing so, he entered at considerable length, and with much ability, into the statistics of the sub ject. The Hon. Gentlemen concluded by reading the second resolution, which is as follows : "2d. That our manufacturers are suffering severely from foreign competition. That notwithstanding the undoubted superiority of this country in capital, skill, and mineral wealth, several of the nations of con tinental Europe, as well as America, are now not only manufacturing for their own use, but are exporting to other countries, and even, in some instances, are under selling us in our own markets. That the true remedy for this evil is to render more equal the price of grain at home and abroad, and thereby to assimilate our cost of production in manufactures to that of our foreign competitors. " That the corn growing countriaa of Europe and America, whose rich soils are naturally fitted for agri culture, still declare themselves willing to exchange their produce for our manufactures. That at this mo ment, in particular, America is largely indebted to Great Britain, which debt she possesses the means of paying, if we would receive the surplus grain and lour of her last harvest, thereby affording cheap food to our work men, remittances to our merchants, and renewed or ders for our manufactured goods. That owing to the want of some such regulated system of commercial ex change, and to the derangements resulting from the Corn-laws, many factories have been of late shut up, wages have been reduced, while the price of food has been enormously enhanced, gradual impoverishment is overtaking our manufacturing capitalists, and disaffec tion is rapidly spreading among our working population." A Mr. LANG, one of the Chartist orators, expressed his anxiety to hear the opinion of the Representatives of Glasgow upon the prospect which now existed of the hopes of the working orders being realized. A Mr. PATTISON, also one of the Chartists, attempted to make minced meat of Whig doctrine and policy, and concluded by proposing, as a rider to Mr. Buchanan's resolution, a declaration in favour of the Charter, or in other words moved, as the opinion of the meeting, that the grievances under which the country laboured would not be redressed till every man of sane mind, unconvicted of crime, and who had attained the years of majority ; should be directly represented in the Commons' House of Parliament. This was received with a tremendous burst of applause by the men of the moleskin jackets ; and Mr. Moir proceeded to aid the Chartist ebullition, by declaiming against the base Whigs granting to the Queen a civil list of 1,200 sovereigns a day, when it was plain to all men that she could neither eat nor drink such a mass of bullion. A lull having having at length taken place, Mr. Mills, the Chairman, put Mr. Buchanan's resolution, and a great number of hands were put up in its favour, amounting, so near as we would estimate, to two-fifths of the whole assemblage. Although he admitted that the resolution had not been carried, he positively re fused to put the Cnartist addenda, and the rage of the party became furious. There was a general uproar, and half-made speeches, with uncourteous howls, proceeded from every part of the hall. At this time, we must say that things wore a very alarming aspect, and as there seemed no likelihood of a return to good humour or stillness, Mr. Mills arose, and being followed by the members for the city and the other gentlemen who oc cupied the platform, bolted by the ante-room of the Tontine Inn. This offered a very safe mode of retreat, and had the gentlemen we have alluded to been neces sitated to make their way down the body of the hall, it is our impression that they could not have reached the Trongate without rough usage and skirtless coats. The Chartists having it all their own way, now made a rush to the head of the room, which the others had left. The Chartist addition was put, and carried, of course, amid tremendous applause, and adjudged to be stuck to Mr. Buchanan's resolution , but here a diffi culty arose, for it was discovered that the other party had run away with them. A Committee was, however, appointed to put all things to rights. And thus, after three hours' speechification and uproar, was tripped up the heels of the Corn-law Meeting. Seriously speaking, the conduct of the Chartists was unfair and unseemly in the extreme, and from the speci men of their proceedings and dispositions which Satur day presented, it will be the prayer of decent men to be kept from all companionship with the squad.—Captain Miller attended in an anti.room ; but after the Chartists had stormed and carried the platform, it was deemed judicious, so long as no blows were struck, to let their vehemence expend itself in the natural way, which of course it did. It was really a pity to see one of the most beautifully decorated rooms in the city, contain ing Flaxman s statue of Pitt, which cost 2,0001., the scene of such a broil. The following arc the remaining resolutions intended be proposed, had the business gone on in the manner which the promoters of the meeting 'anticipated :- 3d, That all classes are suffering from the operation of the Corn-laws, with the exception of the landowner, for whose sole benefit they were framed. That the shopkeeper and tradesman are deprived of their custo mers among the working classes, whose whole earnings are required to purchase food. That the like want of demand is felt by the manufacturer and merchant, and even the revenue of the country has suffered from the inability of multitudes to pay for articles of luxury. That, l as tly, and above all, the interests of the poor require that food should not be taxed. That it is unjust and cruel to maintain laws for the sole benefit of a class, which have tended to deteriorate the condition, to pro tract the hours of labour, and to increase the privations of the working classes, 4th, That a petition should be prepared, and com mitted to Messrs. Oswald and Dennistoun.
