PUSEYISM. It is an encouraging symptom, in the midst of so much that is discouraging in connexion with the Trac tarian heresy, that whatever progress it may be making in high places—and we rejoice to see that even there, if it is gaining on one aide it is losine• on the other—the common people, the lower and middle ranks of the Pro testant community, seem to be heartily and unitedly op posed to it. We have had various examples of this in what has oceured in other places, and in further illustra tion of it we refer to the following passage from the re port of the Protestant Operative meeting in this town on Monday night : The Rev. Joseph Baylee moved the adoption of the report, and, in doing so, said he attended Operative Pro testant meetings in Liverpool with greater pleasure than he should feel in attending meetings of the wealthy classes. They had two men on the platform that even ing who were living examples of the liberty Rome allowed:—one was a native of the city of Rome (Signor Ciocci), who had been three weeks in the Inquisition because he bad dared to read his Bible, and the other was Mr. Samuel Philips Day, late a monk of the Presen tation Order, in the county of Cork. He, therefore, looked not with despondency on the present state of things. A voice—What do you think of the Puseyites? Another voice—Turn him out. Mr. Baylee—No; don't turn him out. lam glad he has asked me the question. I think a Puseyite is a little worse than a Papist.—(Loud cheers, and the Kentish fire.) When I resided in the West of Ireland, we ILkd two Roman Catholic Archbishops—Dr. M'Hale, who said he would bring the fish up out of the sea if they would kill me; and Dr. Murray, who spoke soft things and who sat at the National Education Board with a Protestant Archbishop. What we said at Achill was, that, of the two, we should much rather have Dr. M`Hale inasmuch as we preferred the man who carried a pitchfork on his shoulder, to the man who carried it under his cloak. So with Puseyism. I would much rather have a Roman Catholic priest in my parish than a Puseyite; because the Puseyite brings Romanism into the church, while the other brings it outside the door.— (Great cheers.) I want no candles on the altar—no sur plice in the pulpit, none of the innovations of Puseyism, none of the justificatory works of the system, none of the corrupted gospel of Newman.—(Vehement applause.) The Rev. Gentleman proceeded at much further length to show that the Puseyite was a Papist inside the church, and that it was impossible to hate Romanism more than God hated it.—Liverpool Courier. PUBLIC MEETING OF COLLIERS. The coal miners of the Ashton and Oldham dis tricts met on Monday afternoon last, at Knott Lanes, in the division of Ashton, for the purpose of carrying out their object in connexion with the miners' union. lietvveen two and three o'clock, a cart was brought to the place of meeting; when, on the motion of an operative collier ' a man named Joseph Price was called to the chair. The chairman opened the pro ceedings by introducing one of the colliers' lecturers, named Welsby (who, we understand, comes from the mining districts of Yorkshire), to address the meeting. The speaker dwelt in the usual strain upon the objects of the unionists, and called upon all miners present to enrol themselves as members ; as suring them that if they forthwith united with their brethren in the other districts, they would obtain their just demands. Two other itinerant lecturers, Harrison, and Dixon, the reporter for the Northern Star, addressed the meeting ; they advocated the propriety of the colliers uniting themselves in one bond, that they might obtain an advance of wages, and work a less number of hours. Dixon stated, that the miners in the Rochdale division had obtained an advance of tetwence upon their " quarterage," which we understood to mean thirty baskets, a basket con taining about two hundred weight. The following res.lotions were agreed to:— " 1. That it is the opinion of this meeting, that unless we organize ourselve, we can never better our condition; and that we pledge ourselves to do so im mediately, believing that we ought to use every means in our power to obtain that which the miners so richly deserve, viz., a fair day's wage for a fair day's work. 2. That it is the opinion of this meeting that we particularly adhere to the question of working shorter hours, believing it to be the only safe way to gain our just demands." At the conclusion of the meeting it was announced that all the colliers working in the Oldham district (with the exception of the men at three pits) had sent in notices for an advance of threepence in the shilling, and those of the Ashton district for twopence in the shilling. The notices which were sent in on Saturday last, were to the effect that unless the ad vance asked be granted in fourteen days the men would strike work. Coals are much scarcer than they were a few days ago. On passing the " sett," on the Oldham-road, yesterday morning, we observed upwards of thirty carts standing waiting to be filled with coals, such is the demand for them under present circumstances. Another meeting was announced to take place at Hurst Nook last evening.—Manchester paper. ANTIPATHIES OF REMARKABLE CHARACTERS. (From Cruikshank's Comic Almanack for 1845.) Almost every person who has lived in history has had some particular antipathy. Julius Caesar couldn t eat a periwinkle, and Alexander always fainted at' the sight of a blackbeetle. Chaucer would be unwell for days if he heard tie cry of " mackerel !" and Spenser never saw a leg of mutton without shivering all over. Boadicea hated red whiskers : it nearly cost Cane tacus his life because he came into her presence one day with a tremendous pair on. The smell of pickles always sent Cardinal Wolsey into hysterical fits. He called upon Henry the Eighth once while the monarch was lunching off some cold meat, and Wolsey fell down under the table as soon as he smelt there was pickled cabbage in the room. Henry, thinking the cardinal was intoxicatA d, had him locked up in the Tower immediately. Cleopatra couldn't look at a person with freckles ; Antony had all his soldiers who were at all freckle ,1 painted black to please her. Napoleon took a violent hatred against any one who didn't take snuff : it is said, the - cause of his separa tion from Josephine was because she would never take a pinch from him. Alfred the Great could not bear the taste of ma t dumplings. Artaxerxes had such an intense horror of fleas that he would not go to ,bed riithout a suit of armour, made like a night-gown, to fit close to his skin.. Ho would lose his reason for days when bitten by one. There was a reward of ten talents, during his reign, for the appfehension of every flea, dead or alive; and merchants would come far and near to claim the reward Queen Elizabeth had the strongest antipathy to a sheriff's officer : she would run away as fast as she could directly she saw one, and continued running for miles, until her guards, who knew her weakness, stopped her. Old Parr would turn pale if he touched a piece of seap : this is the reason he never shaved. Cicero had such an antipathy to the Wednesday that he used to remain in bed all that day ; and Anna Bolena could not hear the word " potato"' pronounced without turning violently red, and feeling low-spirited for weeks afterwards. Charles the Second never could go through Tein ple•bar. It used to take the whole strength of Vil liers, with Rochester and Nell Gwynn, to push him through it. Cromwell never could pass a tripe-shop without bursting immediately into tears. EXTRAORDINARY SLATIGITER.—Prince Albert, companied by Duke Ernest of Wirtemberg, and attendett by some of the gentlemen of the Royal Household, sho: over the preserves of Flemish Farm, in the Great Park at Windsor, on Monday last, and bagged, in about as' hour and a half, the extraordinary number of 210 hese. of game, 110 of which consisted of hares in the finest condition, and the remainder comprising pheasants, par • fridges, and rabbits, with a fair sprinkling of woodcocks STRENGTH OF THE ALLIGATOR'S JAWS.—A friend, one of the party engaged, has communicated to us the following narrative, which cannot fail to prove interest ing to our sporting readers :—ln the latter end of August last four officers—Lieut. Hill and the Hon. Mr. Foley of the Cambrian, and Lieutenants Vansittart and Phayre, of the Serpent—were elephant-shooting near the river Cotiar, in Ceylon. In wading a shallow lir. Vansittart came suddenly on an alligator, and fired one barrel intc his shoulder, at a distance of not more than three yards• the brute, turning round, received the contents of another down his throat. Thinking him disabled, Mr. Vansit tart crept up behind him to thrust a couteau de chaast into the softest part of bis throat, but before he could effect his purpose, his antagonist had turned round, and made at him. With considerable presence of mind the sportsman saved himself by thrusting his gun down the animal's throat, and dispatched him with his knife. Or removing the gun one barrel was found to be completely bitten through, and the other to present several deer indentations. The alligator was eight feet long.—Boni. bay Times. A PRISON SCENE.—The following laughable dia logue occurred on Friday last in the Jersey prison. Sir John de Veulle and Mr. Bisson presented themselves as visiting magistrates at the door of Mr. Wilson's room, about half-past ten o'clock. Mr. Wilson was not up. A knock at his door being heard, Mr. Wilson called out in the loudest tones, " Who's there ?" Answer—" Sir John de Veulle." Mr. Come in." Sir J. de Veulle (Mr. Bisson remaining a little in the rear)—" I wish to know, Mr. Wilson, whether you have any com plaint to make 2" Mr.Wilson—"Five hundred. In the first place, where are your prison rules 2—they ought to be posted up in every prisoner's room ; but before I talk to 70u, take off your hat."

This unceremonious rejectio n of tleprirsolntfriled kind offices, tendered to th.., man h e had must have somewhat -tavtled and annoyed that func! tionary ; more especially if, as we believe, he intended to renew the offers fruitlessly made through Mr. Hammond. .—Jersey Gazitte. e - f! a 7:Z TILE $t N, LONDON, PitliJA ivioftN b:ECEME4:II, 6 1844.. regulations upon the exportation or the consump tion at home of manufactured goods. This, how ever, you can do; you can set reasonable limits to the human labour in manufactories. You can by law prevent persons being forced to toil 16 or 18 hours a day in 1844 or 1845, in order that they may be starved for the three years following. You will thus render it impossible for speculators to anti cipate the markets of future years to the extent they are now doing, and you will get better work, because you will have a class of constantly em ployed, and therefore more skilful workmen. This is the gu ard ; against "gluts," and the consequences of "gluts '—misery, discontent, Chartism, and insurrec tion. We write this on the sth of December, 1844. We hope that we shall not have to refer to the article before the end of the next year. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 5. (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Common Jury.) SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. PROM THE EVENING PAPERS 'OP YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Two lives were sacrificed by the recent collision of two trains on the Midland Counties Rail way. As the death of one of the sufferers took place in the county,. while that of the other occurred within the limits of the borough of Nottingham, two in quisitions were necessary. That held by the city coroner returned a verdict of manslaughter against Mr. R. - Lightfoot, the station superintendent. On that verdict we ventured to offer some remarks on Monday, which, from the observations with which they accompanied their finding, seem to have been read and considered by the county jury. Although the evidence in the two cases was precisely the same, the verdicts were opposite. The one imputed cri minal blame to the station superintendent, and thus preserved -the Railway Company from pecuniary in • fliction ; the second exculpated the servants of the Company, -by an unanimous verdict of " accidental death." By imposing a deodand of 1,0001. on the engines, tenders, and carriages, the jury showed that they considered the real cause of the accident was the lack of those precautions, on the part of the Directors, which are essential for the public safety. Neglect of the means which experience has shown to be the only effectual safeguards against accidents, when they lead to the loss of life, can at present only be visited on public bodies by 'such penalties. We hope that the present instance will operate as a salutary caution to other companies, as well as to the Midland Railway Company, through which the lesson has been conveyed. The jury say— " We are convinced the collision took place in conse quence of mismanagement and the want of a clear understanding on the part of some of the Company's servants of the directions which were given ; but, owing to conflicting evidence, we are not able to de cide who are the parties individually implicated.

This was an action to recover the sum of 42L 4s. sd. Mr. Parnell, a respectable ironmonger, was the plaintiff, and George Langridge Williams and George Williams were the defendants. The elder defendant had pleaded that he was never indebted, and the younger that he was not of age at the time when the debt was con• tracted. Early in the present year Mr. Williams and son called on the plaintiff, and after telling him that they were building two houses in Union place, • Newzroad,' entered into an agreement with him to hang a number of bells, and execute other work on the premises. • On pressing for payment, the plaintiff was told that the younger defendant was under age, and that, therefore, the contract was not binding. It came out in evidence that the name " Williams and Son" had been exhibited over the door ; and the sole question left to dee jury was, whether the defendant George Williams was an infant or not. His LoapsuiP said, in summing up, that however re luctant the jury might be, under the circumstances, to return a verdict for the defendants, if they were satisfied th a t George Williams was under age, that verdict must be returned ; but it there were any uncertainty in their minds in reference to that fact, .the plaintiff was entitled to adecision in his favour.

The plaintiff's vase having chsed, Mr. Kelly a dress-d the jury in a powerful speech, contending that all the evi dence adduced by the opposite side went to establish that there was nothing essentially new in the contrivance of Mr. Thornton Car, upon whose patent the plaintiffs relied, and that in every important particular, the appa ratus for card-setting, which the defendants now em ployed, and for which this action was brought, was iden tical with a machine invented by Mr. Robertshaw, and used by them (the def t twelve months before the date of Mr. Thornton Car's patent. No evidence having been called for the defence, The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and, after a deliberation of half an hour, found for the plaintiff: COURT OF BANXIWP7'CY, Dec. 4. IN RE THE REV. DR. KENNY. The insolvent is the Rector of St. O'ave's, Southwark, and this day came up upon application for his interim order. His schedule states debts and liabilities (the latter chiefly upon accommodation bills) at from 7,0001 to '10,0001; but it was admitted vat that statement was not to be entirely relied upon. The Rev. Doctor's living was set down at about 6501. a-year, of which he proposed to set aside 3501. a-year for the benefit of his creditors. The insolvent regretted much his present position, and was willing to give every information in his power. After some further discussion, the further hearing was adjourned to the 24th, the insolvent in the interim to furnish the required informatiou. DECEMBER 5. IN RE JONES. The insolvent, a prisoner, petitioned the Court, but was opposed at the instance of a Mr. Ford, a surgeon and bill discounter, the detaining creditor. Mr. Ford was examined, and stated that the insolvent was a clerk in the Custom-house, at a salary of 1001 a- Tear, and that one of the Commissioners was his uncle. The prisoner called upon witness about three months ago. and got him to discount a bill for 301, accepted by a Mr. Pickthall, another of the clerks, and indorsed by the prisoner himself, and by a Mr. Johnston, surgeon, of Holborn, who was represented to him as a most re spectable man. The bill was dishonoured, and the " re spectable man," Mr. Johnston, was now a bankrupt, and the principal, Mr. Pickthall, had absconded. Under these circumstances Mr. Jones had been arrested at his instance, and was now in prison. Witaess hid been in formed by Johnston that the parties. had equally divided the proceeds of the transaction. The witness was cross,examined by Mr. WOODRUM on the part of the prisoner. His own consideration for discounting the two months' bill was Is. a pound. lie did not call that sixty per cent. Ile only called it five per cent. Mr. Commissioner Houtoirp thought it the better way to try and cane to some arrangement. Should that not• be done the matter could be fully gone into at next examination. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE WILLIAMS s ROME ClRCUlT.—Chelmsford, Dec. 5. indicted for a William (B Si e tc f. k 'r a e nur i e r , j ag u e st d ice lB V felonious assault upon Eliza Juniper. Mr. J. D. Chambers conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Marsh defended the prisoner. The circumstances under which the charge was brought against the prisoner were of a most aggra -rated character. It appeared that the prosecutrix, who is between forty and fifty years of age, and the wife of a labourer at Great Stambridge, in this county, was going home from church, accompanied by her son, a lad ten years old, in the middle of the day, in August last, when she was met by the prisoner, who accosted her, and asked what o'clock it was ? She replied that it was half-past one ; to which he an swered, " There is time, I will," and immediately thrust the prosecutrix into a ditch, and there, with great violence, and in the pre-sence of her son, com mitted the offence impnted to him. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS, in passing sentence, ob served, that he did not recollect ever having heard of a mote aggravat,d case than the present ; and hut a short time ago, the prisoner's life would un doubtedly have been forfeited. The Legislature had abolished the penalty of death in such cases, but it gave the Court no discretion to pass any other sen tence than the one he was about to pronounce, which was, that the prisoner be transported for the term of his natural life. Just as the Court was about to rise, Mr. RODWELL resumed his application on behalf of Al iss Richardson for a postponement of the trial until the next Assizes, and he put in the affidavits of two medical gentlemen, to the effect that she was suffering under severe ill ness, and was not in a condition to attend the present Assizes on that account. Mr. RYLAND, on the part of the prosecution, said that the affidavits appeared la refer to some former illness, which information must have been derived from the statement of other persons. If, however, the Court thought they were sufficient, he, of course, would not oppose the postponement. He would merely suggest, that as there was a probability that one of the nisances might proceed to India, bail ought to be increa s ed. part ies thea r m . o ß t u o rt the o l p of w f B r t L e h c i g said the first question to be dis posed of was, whether the trial should be postponed or not. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS consented to the postpone ment of the trial until the Spring Assizes, and the subject then dropped. A former conviction for burglary was put in, and the prisoner was sentenced to be transported for life. In a subsequent case which occurred, where three women were charged with stealing ls. 6d. from the per son of an old man named Lee, Mr. Wilkins defended the prisoners. The Learned Comcsti, commenced his address to the jury by observing, that something had been said to them the other night about the respectability of the police, and they were asked whether it was likely respectable men would enter the police, when Mr. Justice COLERIDGE (interrupting) said, I cannot conceal from myself, Mr. Wilkins, that you are referring to me, and I cannot allow you to make observations offensive to the Bench. Mr..WILKIN3—I had no desire to be offensive, my Lord. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—If you must remark upon what occarred, do it—and you know well how to do it, if you choose—in a less offensive manner. • 'Mr. WILKINS—I bad no desire to be offensive. Mr. Justice COLICRIDOE—I will not have a reply made on the judge's address to the jury. I care as little for observations made with regard to myself personally,. I hope, as any wan do; but I have the highest respect for theorfice of judge, and I will wit allow gentlemen of the bilr to snake such obsrvalions. Mr. - WiLitos--,Wal th,n, gent!emen, I will not com ment otk what the Bench has said, though I am often made to put up with observations when I can't reply, and so are many of my brethren. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—To be sure you are, Mr. Wilkins ; and whilst you are at the bar, and I am on the bench, you must put up with it. Any comments that you may please to make must bo made in a re spectful manlier, Mr. V% ILxlxs then proceeded in his address to the jury, and laid it down as a general rule, based upon his own experience, that policemen were prone to exagge rate against the prisoner. The Learned Gentleman made an eloquent appeal in behalf of the unfortunate women at the bar. • Mr. Justice COLERIDGE having summed up, the jury consulted for a short time, and returned a verdict of Guilty kgainst two of the prisoners, and of Acquittal as regarded the third. - Previous convictions for felony were put in, and th• prisoners were each sentenced to ten years' transportation. ?a d was more disposed to run away than to fight, the be made in the general management of the D a, defendant took up the bull-dog by toe neck and tail, Railway, particularly at the Notingham station ,te t ie and dropped him upon the other.

WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Winchester, Dec. 4. ifillant Jones, servant and Henry Jones, were indicted for stealing a quantity of candles from the store of Geo. Clark, at Lymington, on the 9th of November. The prisoners were found Guilty. William Jones was sentenced to fourteen years, and Henry Jones to seven years' transportation. Very great delay and inconvenience hare been occa sioned at this assize from the following circumstance : The magistrates in this county hare refused to allow the expenses of briefs for the prosecution and the fees to counsel in all cases where the bills are ignored ; the con sequence is that counsel are not instructed till the bill is brought into court, and are unprepared to proceed with the case when it is called on, and much time is lost. Mr. Baron Alderson said this was a most improper thing ; die Government had thought it right to put the people of England to the expense of sending a judge down to try the prisoners, and the magistrates refused to put the county to the expense of employing counsel to prosecute them. He thought the magistrates would find such paltry economy a disadvantage, as the assize Mould probably last a day longer than it otherwise would, to say nothing of decency in the administration of justice. In addition to this, it was almost expressing an expecta tion that bills would be ignored, which was a libel on the committing magistrates, for prisoners ought not to be committed except upon a reasonable expectation that the bills would be found. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Worcester, Dec. 3. (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) The commission for this county was opened yesterday evening. In the course of his charge Mr. Justice Covr- MAN observed, that he had received literally a mass of depositions; indeed, the largest and longest he had ever seen, against a person named Hassell, imputing to him the murder of his wife. It was a case which appeared to have created a great excitement in the comity, as far as the reports in the newspapers enabled him to form an opinion. There were only two ways, consistent with the mast of evidence contained in the depositions, in which a charge could be presented to their notice against the ac cused—eithyr that of accelerating the death by the admi nistration of improper food or liquids, or by neglecting to supply proper care and nourishment to the decease;], both of which offences would amount to the offence of manslaughter only. It was. however, an important fea ture in the case for the consideration of the grand jury, that his wife was a person very much addicted to the use of arden: spirits, and was described by the witnesses to be seldom in . a state of s,,briety. -IF THE LIZARD, Nov. 27.---A Borneo ship, on a white lag. tr 4 DBAL, DEc. 4.—Wind N.E. by E. to E.N.E•l at oi breeze.—Sld.

Mr. Justice Coltman has disposed of four cases this afternoon, none of which presented any features of ge neral interest. The defendant said that the dog was not his, but that it belonged to his master, Mr. Norris. He hoped that the magistrate would deal leniently with him. Mr. HENRY fined the defendant 30s ; in default, four teen days' imprisonment in the House of Correction. POLICE INTELLIGENCE (YESTERDAY.) MANSR/N-HOUSE. A decently-dressed woman, named Mary Higgins, who appeared with a cap, but no bonnet, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having threat ened to break the Mansion-house windows. A policeman stated that he saw the defendant in the neighbourhood of the Mansion-house on the pre ceding even;ng, and when he asked her what she wanted, she said she wanted him to take her to the station-house, and if he thought proper to refuse her that favour, she would most certainly smash the win• dews of the large house.

The officer stated that one of the women bad been frequently committed, and that punishment seemed to have no effect upon her but that of hardening her. The window of the house was, it appeared, open at the time they flung the missiles, and one of the brick bats fell near the head of a child, who, if struck with it, would probably have been killed. Two of the prisoners, while Evans was speaking, flung their shoes at his head; and one of them said to the Lord Mayor, " You know me well enough. I've broken many a window, and will again, I'm blowed." The LORD MAYOR—Not for some time. You shall procure bail to keep the peace for twelve months, and stay in prison till you produce the bail. Prisoners—" Procure bail !" What do you mean by that ? The LORD MAYOR—You must procure two good persons to be answerable for your good conduct for one year, under a penalty of 20/. each. and you will be yourself responsible in the sum of 401. The prisoners were taken from the bar screaming, and struggling with the policemen. The LORD MAYOR said that, in order to put .a stop to the practice so generally resorted to by the idle and dissolute, he should require each delinquent to find bail for good behaviour for twelve months, to the amount mentioned above. He hoped and believed that the imprisonment and hard labour would operate as a remedy, and he trusted that such violators of the law would take into consideration the probable time they would have to remain in durance if they vio lated the law in that manner. A. very rough-looking fellow, named John Smith, was charged with having smashed the window of the shop of Mr. Dean, of Tower-street, and stolen four watches. A policeman heard a smash, and upon running to- wards the place saw the prisoner running in St. Dunstan'i-hill, where another policeman got hold of him. The fellow had a watch in his hand, and three watches were found close to the spot on which he was apprehended. Mr. Dean identified all the watches mr his property, and said that the prisoner had broken the pane with his elbow, and snatched away the property. The prisoner was committed for trial. COURT OF CHANCERY, Dec. 5. The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall, and heard appeals to-day. The cases of the Marquis of Hertford v. Lord Lowther and Tul!och v. Hartley were ordered to stand over, for the convenience of counsel, till a future day. SPALDING V.- RUDDICK. The arguments in this appeal, the facts of which pos sess no interest except to the parties concerned, occupied the Court the remainder of the morning. LAMBETH-STREET. Doo FIGHTING.— William Benjamin, a journeyman baker, in the employ of Mr. Norris, King-street, White chapel, appeared before Mr. Henr7, charged by Mr. Thomas, the secretary of the Royal Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals, with having wantonly ill treated a dog. Mr. Thomas stated that on Saturday last the defendant was paising through White's-row, Whiteehapel, fol lowed by a black bull-terrier, and as he passed the house of a Ml. Thompson, he made a noise which brought out a dor belonging to that person. The defendant kicked his dog towards the other, and endeavoured to set them fighting; but a Ur. Thompson's dog MIDDLESEX SESSIONS: (Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE and a full Bench of Magistrates.) THE LITE ALLEGED ROBBERY BY ♦ LADY ♦T THE SOHO BAZAAR.—Jane Tyru'hitt, a very lady-like looking female, apparently about 35 years of age, was indicted for stealing a telescope of the value of 2s. 6d., the property of Mary Anne Lewis. The prisoner upoi being placed at the bar, although she maintained a firm demeanour, yet seemed deeply impressed with the unhappy circumstances in which she was placed. The general opinion previous to the trial prevailed that, as she was out upon bail during the period which intervened between her committal and taking her trial, she would not have been placed in the fel , m's dock ; however upon surrendering she was placed (being accommodated with a seat owing to her weakness) in the spot allotted to all prisoners, even of the lowest c million. She was attired in deep mourning, and looked very pale and exhausted. The Court was densely crowded, and there was a very full attendance of Magis trates upon the bench. A number of elegantly-dressed ladies were also accommodated with seats upon the bench. Mr. Clarkson, with whom were Messrs. Doane and M'Mahon, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Mon tague Chambers, with Mr. Ballantine, defended the pri soner. The facts of the case have been already so recently before the public as to render it unnecessary to enter into a minute detail of them. It will be recollected that the prisoner entered the Bazaar at half-past four o'clock on the evening of the 25th ult., and after purchasing a thermometer, took the article named in the indictment. A great many witnesses having been called to depose to circumstances which have been already fully reported in the columns of The Sun, Mr. CHAMBERS roue to address the jury for the de fence. He contended that not one of the facts of the case warranted the jury to come to a conclusion that Mrs. Tyrwhitt had taken the property with a felonious intention, and the more so because there appeared no ostensible motive. - She was a person who, owing to her independent circumstances, could not have the same in ducements to dishonesty as a person in less fortunate circumstances. It sometimes occurred that rich persons committed crime merely for the sake of crime and through natural depravity, but in the present case he should call such witnesses with respect to character as would completely remove the possibility of such a sup position. The Learned Counsel then called Lady Emily Phillips, who stated that she had known the prisoner at the bar since h•zr marriage, which was about seven ye ars ago. During that time she had main tained the highest character for -honour and probity. The lion. and Rev. Fitzroy Stanhope stated that he had known the prisoner from her chil ;hood, and enter taieed the high. st opinion °film-character. Lady Mr.thuen gave similar testimony; as did also Captain Buckley, Sir Bellingham Reginald Graham, Mrs. Gurney, the lady of Hudson Gurney, Esq., of No. 9, St. James s-square, and Sir David Scott, one of the bench of magistrates. A host of other witto•sce.i. most of them truth-sm. n in the neighbourhood of firoseetior and Btnitely-squares, and .4her parts of the west-end of the town, depo,:ed to having had numerous trade transactions with Mrs. Ty r whitt, and had every reason to conclude that she was a most high-minded and honourable character. The evidence adduced as to character in this case was the most laudatory that perhaps had ever appeared in a criminal court. The Learned ASSISTANT JUDGE in summing up, ex pressed his gratifleati, al that the experience of thejury was likely to lead thym to consider the ca,e as one ofan ordinary nature, without any relevance to the position of the ac cused. The Learned Counsel fur the defence had begged of the jury to consider the pain and misery which a con viction would inflict upon the family and connexiuns of the accused, but the Court would correct this view of the case, and tell the jury that they should allow no such consideration to influence them, but look at it just the same as if the prisoner were a poor person—indeed, he should say that so far as character was concerned, its maintenance was of more vital importance to the poorer classes of persons. With respect to the evidence as to character, nothing could be more favourable to the prisoner, but still he did not feel inclined to attach so much import ance to that of the tradesmen who appeared in Court to-day. The Learned Judge then minutely recapi tulated the evidence, and concluded by entreating the jury to deal with the present case just the same as if it were that of an ordinary trial for larceny, by a poor and friendless person, giving the prisoner. at the same time, the benefit of any doubt hieh might arise in their minds. The jui-v, after a short consultation in the Court, inti mated to the Bench that there was no likelihood of their coming to an agreemeat, and they accordingly retired to the jury-room. _ At the moment of this announcement the prisoner seemed to be dreadfully agitated, and required to be supported in the dock. At a quarter to four o'clock the jury empanelled to try the indictment against this lady entered the Court, and announced that they had agreed to return a verdict of Acquittal. The moment the verdict was announced, the audience in the Courttestified their approbation by loud cheers. The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE said he could not by any means tolerate any indecorous manifestation. The jury had only done their duty, and he should do his by ordering any person who again repeated those unseemly manifestations of appkame into custody. Mrs. Tyrwhit, who, as we before stated, generally manifested through the trial much firmness, became deeply affected at hearing the verdict, and expressed a wish to make a few remarks. In a voice almost in audible from emotion, she said, " Before God, I declare my entire innocence." The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE—Any protestation of innocence on your part is uncalled for. The jury have declared you innocent. Mr. M. CHAMBERS begged to .remind the Learned Judge that if this protestation could answer no other purpose, it must be, at all events, pleasing to the minds of the jury after the verdict they had come to. ;+:rs. Ty rwhit then walked from the dock, and was received by a number of friends, several of whom walked down from the bench to congratulate her. Lipon reach ing the hall of the Court, on her way to her carriage, she was received with loud cheers, which were taken up by those outside on Clerkenwell-green, and were con tinued until she drove away, accompanied by her friends in their respective carriages. ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-EAS- TERN RAILWAY.-TWO LIVES LOST. DOVER, DEC. 4.—A great sensation was caused here last night, by a report that two lives had been lost in one of the tunnels between Dover and Folkstone. Upon inquiry it was found to be too true; the suf ferers were G. Coveney and E. Jackson ; both hare left wives, and, it is believed, families. The deceased were employed as labourers on the South-Eastern Railway, near the Warren, and when the accident happened were on their way home from work. They were in the Abbot's Cliff Tunnel, and probably were walking on the rails. The up-train which leaves here forty minutes past five, passed them ; and it is supposed that from the noise and smoke they neither saw nor heard the down train, which should reach here at twenty-six minutes past five, enter the tunnel ; in consequence of which they were knocked down by the engine, and the train passed over the bodies and killed them. The scalp of Jackson's head was dreadfully torn, and was lying on his breast; indeed, both bodies were severely lacerated. The bodies having been brought into Dover, and notice given to the Coroner, an inquest will be held this evening. THE LATE DREADFUL ACCIDENT NEAR NOTTINGHAM. ADJOURNED INQUEST ON MR_ VARNELLS. VERDICT OF THE JURY. We have received the conclusion of the above inquest from our correspondent at Nottingham, as follows : At ten o'clock the jury sent fair the Coroner, and in formed him they could not agree upon their verdict, and that there was no probability of their agreeing. At eleven o'clock the Coroner was again sent for, and, at a quarter to twelve, the hall doors were opened. - The CORONER-Mr. Foreman, are you agreed up on your verdict ? The Foreman—Yes, Sir. The following verdict was then recorded : "We return a verdict of Accidental Death, and the jury impose a deodand of 1,000/. upon the engines, tenders, and carriages, being the property of the Mid land Counties Railway . ; but in so doing we beg to re mark that we are convinced that the collision took place ,in consequence of mismanagement, and the want of a clear understanding on the part of the Company's ser vants of the directions which were given, but owing to . conflicting evidence, we are not able to decide who are the parties individually implicated.
