(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Mr. Sheriff MOON had never asked one of the Jewish persuasion to vote for him.—(Loud cries of " You have," and much uproar.) His friends had heard the opposing candidate's friends, and he trusted that the same courtesy would be extended to himself now. Again he repeated that be had felt that no gentleman of that persuasion ought to vote for him, and he had therefore not asked them to do so. It might be thought dishonour.. able if he had.—(Tremendous confusion.) Let them recollect that Mr. Scales had already gone out of the field.—(Cries of " You've bought him.') But so anxious was he (Sheriff Moon) to prevent confusion in the ward that he assured one and all of them that he went to every person over whom he had any influence, and begged of them to come forward on this occasion. This showed at least that he was not desirous of coming among them unless cordially accepted by them; and further, he cou'.d assure them, and he believed that his friend Mr. Salo mons would give him credit for it, that he was as desirous of meeting with him in the most friendly spirit in the course of that contest as he had been before. He had met that gentleman in the streets, and he had said to him, " Sir, if you will qualify yourself by signing the declaration, I will at once resign my pretensions.— (Great uproar.) He repeated it that it might not be misunderstood.—(Confusion, and cries of " Off, off.") He begged of Mr. Salomons to state whether he would quality and take the declaration, when of course he would go out of the field instantly.—(Cries of " You have no right to put such a question.") He called upon Mr. Salomons to say whether he bad not done so? Let him answer that question.—(Cries of " No, no," •` Off, - off.") He would now address them about himself and his °an qualification. He came forward as a man of equally in - ttependeet principles as Mr. Salomons. Some said " You will get a Tory." But he came forward without any political feeling, because that was not a political office. His principles were to preserve everything good and re for .n everythingbad.—(" Oh, oh.") He had the honour of having been many years a tradesman, and they all knew the necessity of character to a tradesman in that commer cial city. He had for many years represented the ward in whiche he yet resided, and the best way to ascertain the character of any man was to do so in his own imme diate neighbourhood; but he hoped that the character he bad sustained was not merely confined to that locality. When put up on a pinnacle in the Common-hall, no cue dared to throw a stone at him.—(Cheers, and roars of laughter.) Why had he come forward then, because he had as family rising up, whose very existence depended on the character of their father.—(Continued laughter.) In his intercourse through life, he had endeavoured to do his duty, not only as man of business, but as a parent. He could assure them that he wished to treat Mr. Salomons with all the chivalric spirit, so necessary in contests of that nature. If the election fell upon his opponent no man would shake him by the hand with more good spirit, with more good feeling than he would himself—. (Cheers)—and if on the other hand he were the success ful candidate he felt sure that that gentleman would greet him in private society as he had hitherto done.— (Continued cheering.) He had made up his mind not to enlarge, but to bring the little he had to say to a conclu sion. He would simply say to those who had supported him that he begged to tender his best thanks to those gentlemen who had remained neutral—who were waiting to see who would present themselves ; he would say that he hoped they would be attached to the side he was now advocating.(Cheers, and cries of " Oh, oh.") To those who were opposed to him he said, "If you have promised Mr.iSalomons your vote, vote for him; 1f for Mr. Scales, vote for him."—(Cries of " Oh, oh," and "You've bought him.") One gentleman says— " You've bought Mr. Scale's over." He simply denied it. He thought that sufficient. He denied it.—(Cries of "So you would anything.") If he should have the honour of being returned by them, he would endeavour to do his duty. He would endeavour, by every means, to uphold the privileges which every Alderman ought to uphold—(Loud and continued laughter)—and to support the interests with which they were immedi ately associated. He did not come into that ward to ob tain pecuniary advantages. He had qualified himself to obtain the honour which he now solicited at their hands. All the advantages, and there were many, attached to the office, with one single exception—that of making hi s own son a Governor of Christ's Hospital—all other ad vantages be would give to his constituents.—(Mr. Sheriff Moon resumed his seat amidst mingled cheers and hisses.) Mr. D. SALOMONS said he was perhaps over sanguine, but it appeared to him that in the addresses of the mover and seconder, and of the worthy candidate him self, there had been a sad lack of confidence of suc cess. He did not like Mr. Sheriff Moon to speak of the forbearance of the electors. He had stated, and he would state again, that in any question with which he might be concerned, he would not suffer religious preju dices to interfere, nor would he make any question which interested the country at large a religious question ; and he spoke it with all courtesy, that he hardly thought Mr. Sheriff Moon, in canvassing the electors of that ward had not appealed to the Jewish persuasion. If he had not done so—(Cries of "He did ; he called upon ma")—certainly his friends had been less scrupulous. Then something had been said respecting chivalry, but he thought it right and just when men aspired to a public office that their conduct should be rigidly scanned, in order to see if the past would give any warranty for their future actions. One other word about the chivalry alluded to. They might see by the remnants of pas• quinades, placards, lampoons, and other election witticisms that were there exhibited, that, how ever, much of warm feeling might have been shown during the contest, it would require some stretch of the imagination to designate it as in any way chivalrous.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) H e did not mean to charge Mr. Sheriff Moon personally with that, but be merely wished to show the chivalrous courtesy with which he had been greeted during the progress of that election.—(Cheers.) But let them now go forward. (Hear, hear.) On this occasion it was proper, although it looked rather like personal vanity, that he should speak a Little of himself, and of the personal quali fications that prompissel him to offer himself as a candi date for their suffrages ; and he did expect that more would have been said by Mr. Sheriff Moon, and by his friends, of his personal qualifications, and of their supe riority to his own. He did not say that they had done so. He said only that they ought, because that after all was the only question for the consideration of the ward; one candidate had withdrawn, two were yet left, and they were that day met for the purpose of discussing their individual merits, in order to choose the most fit for the office of Alderman of that ward. He was moat astonished to hear one gentleman allude to his (Mr. Salomon's) commercial connections in that city.— (Hear, hear.) Something was said of the screw being applied—it was an insult alike to himself and to the voters. He had heard of such a term at elections, where if a tradesman did not vote as required, the great man's custom was withdrawn, but that could not apply to him. His boast was, that his parents—his an cestors had, for upwards of a century, lived not a stone's throw from that place. Through three genera tions they were Englishmen and tradesmen, and not a word could be brought against any of them, reflecting the • slightest stain upon his honour or honesty, so as to render him (Mr. Salomons) !heir descendant, unlit to represent that ward, or the City of on don — (Cheers)—in any capacity—(Continued cheers.) Some observations had been made with regard to his having stood and been re turned for the Ward of Aldgate, some nine years back. He bad been, however, and they there all knew it re jected by the Court of Aldermen on a technical ground. It was quite true that Mr. Sheriff Moon, on the day of the issuing of the precept, met him in the street as de scribed, and said that if he did as had been stated he should withdraw his own pretensions. Ile (Mr. S e l o _ mons) thought the thine- too ludicrous to be serious, and answered accordingly. thing believed that his reply w as , that it was not usual for one candidate to ask another a question. Having thus no ticed Mr. Moon's question he should proceed. The speaker then referred to his being elected Sheriff of the City of London, and the pride he felt at having me rited the thanks of the Livery in that capacity. The Court of Aldermen, they were aware, did not sanction innovation. Many there might remember what impedi ments were placed in the way of those of the Jewish persuasion when they wished to obtain the liberty of the City, but those times existed no longer. He had occasion to be a day or two ago at Maidstone on a very interest ing oeeasion, and he was gratified by a remark of Mr. Alderman Lucas, who officiated fqr the Lord Mayor, that they must yield to the pressure of the times and to circumstances, —(Hear, hear, and cheere) The speaker then detailed in happy and forcible language the various offices he had been called to by the past and present Goverements—to the fact that he Was the 'lash Sheriff of Kent and a magistrate in ausex• wig referred to the present Premier's hav- 3PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAL GLOBE.—The project of still further facilitating the intercourse between Europe and India, by means of a railway across the Isthmus of Suez, is resumed ; and hopes are still entertained of its being put into a train for an early accomplishment of the important design. The late Mr. Galloway—whose influence with the Pacha of Egypt was employed for the purposes of advancing practical science in that country, and for improving the knowledge and civilisation of its inhabitants—had obtained the consent and direc tion of that potentate to commence the work. That gentleman made a visit to this country to contract for and procure the necessary materials for the pur pose. Thirty miles of rails were transmitted to the neighbourhood of the spot on which the plan was to be executed, when Mr. Galloway's premature and lamented death put a stop to the design. The greater portion of the rails are still on the spot—the line is one entire level—and not a foot of land would require to be purchased. The Pacha is known to he favourable to the project. The intuitive perception of what is calculated to advance the in terests and promote the greatness of his country, for which the Pacha of Egypt is justly celebrated, na turally inclines him to regard with favour a project which would render one of the most barren spots in his Pachalic a source of increased wealth to his trea sury, and of rising greatness to his administration of its affairs. The number of passengers who during the lasi year passed to and from India by the Overland route, was 3,000; the number in the coming year is esti mated at nearly 4,000. This number does not, how ever, include the hosts of pilgrims who, at stated periods, travel to and from Mecca, nor the mer chants of the Levant, who join their caravans for trade and safety. The time saved by the pro jected line of rail across the Isthmus of Suez would be twenty-four hours. From the commence ment of the new year a mail will be dispatched from and to India every fortnight, instead of, as at present, every month ; therefore the time actually saved—to say nothing of the diminished inconveni ence and anxiety to each passenger, and to those wait ing for communications by each mail—would be forty-eight days in the year, or nearly one-seventh of the time consumed in the passages by the Over land route, to and from India, in each year. The political and commercial advantages which this country would derive from the increased facilities of communication with India, with a railway across the Isthmus of Suez would ensure, are too obvious to require notice. The principal question which sug gests itself is, what prevents the work from being im• mediately undertaken ? If the Pacha be favourable to the scheme—the materials on the spot—the pro posed line a dead level, therefore requiring but a trifling outlay of capital in wages to lay down the rails—and the land itself a desert, having no proprie tor to exact an exorbitant price for the purchase— what impediment exists ? The answer is one that illustrates the mischievous influence which the French Ministers possess over the imbecile mind of our Foreign Secretary. France—whose jealousies are ever active where English interests can be foiled, and whose vigilance strongly contrasts with the inertness and proneness to concession by which the foreign policy of England has been characterised under the administration of Lord Aberdeen—has, it seems, expressed dissatisfaction with the proposed plan, as likely to give to England a preponderating influence in Egypt and Turkey ; and a pretext for maintain ing an establishment which, though professedly com mercial, may be converted into a military occupa tion. This objection—though destitute of even the force which a barely possible contingency might im part, and utterly unworthy, as it is, of being enter tained for a moment in a serious correspondence—is re garded with gravity by our Foreign Minister I The convenience of our commerce, and the other public and private interests which are involved in effecting a secure and expeditious intercourse with India and the East, are therefore made to bend before the genius of France ; which has acquired an unprece dented ascendency in the councils of England. STANDARD.--We have carefully avoided any interference with the dispute which has been so long pending between Mr. Alderman Gibbs and his fellow parishioners, because, has Southey has it— " Men soon live down, Evil or good report, if undeserved." We shall, therefore, content ourselves with a brief reference to the article which appears in another column on the subject. Various charges have, in the course of the last year, been brought against Mr. Gibbs, some of them with a virulence which could only have had its origin in personal malice. With one exception, the whole of these imputa tions have been satisfactorily disposed of; and it is, therefore, but fair to infer that there may have been as much misrepresentation at work on that as on the rest. The only remaining question is now under investigation before a competent tri bunal ; and if the result should prove, as we antici pate, favourable to the Alderman, he will, indeed, have good reason to pronounce himself an ill-used man. We are, however, constrained to add, notwithstanding the explanations of our corres pondent, that in any event he will stand in debted for a great part of the annoyance he has experienced to his obstinacy in refusing to recognise the right of his fellow parishioners to examine his account s . E very par i s hi oner has a moral, if not a legal, right to know w hat becomes of the funds he has helped to supply, and considering that the Alderman's accounts appear to have been kept with the greatest regularity, it is the more difficult to understand the motive of his refusal ; unless it may have arisen from the irritation which a man of notoriously upright character feels when he becomes the object of an unfounded imputation. For ourselves, had our accounts been demanded, however, impertinently, we would rather have hung them on the parish pump for the inspection of every passer by, than have contested the right to inspect them, because, of any technical informality in the application. This, however, is a mere matter of taste—we might, perhaps, say of temper—with which we have nothing to do. Unless we are to presume that the select vestry is composed of gentlemen capable of acting corruptly, auditing accounts for which the proper vouchers have not been supplied, we are unable to understand the principle on which the outcry against Mr. Alderman Gibbs is still continued ; but looking at the several attempts to injure him by the publication of forged reports of the pre tended decision of the Court of Chancery, and forged apologies from himself, we become inclined to doubt if he is not the victim of a persecution dictated by the most sinister and unmanly motives, and destined to deprive him of the honours, to which by long, no less than by arduous service, he appears to be entitled. STATE OF TRADE.—The market continues in the same state as last week ; the demand both for goods and yarn being moderate, but prices, with some trifling ex ceptions, tolerably steady.—Manchester Guardian. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, SEPT. 23. —There has been but a dull market to-day. Flannels of good quality have been vety little inquired for ; the demand having been for those of a coarser kind. There has also been very little activity in the wool market. and there is much diversity of opinion amongst the manufacturers, whether the next move in the price of this article will be up or down.—Manchester Guardian. FACTORY OPERATIVES' DISPUTE. On Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, a large number of persons working in several cotton mills of this town, were summoned by their employers for neglecting or refusing to work. Th e cases excited much interest, and the Town-hall was crowded to excess each day. The individuals summoned con sisted of power-loom weavers, self-acting piecers, and some spinners. After a long hearing of the cases, the Mayor spoke very feelingly to the defendants, and seemed desirous of acting with fairness betwixt work men and empl o y ers . C omm it men t s were pressed for in several cases, but the bench, upon receiving a promise that the parties would return to their work, refused to commit in any case; advising the men, when they were not satisfied with their work or wages, to giv e th e regular month ' s notice, to serve their time, and th en leave. As far as we learn these proceedings arise from a desire on the part of the operatives for an adv ance o f wages, which some of the masters hesitate to gi ve , quested. Yesterday the T at least to the e x te n t re own-hall was again the scene of great excitement--a great num b er of cases similar to the above having to be heard. Several promised to resume their employment, but we are sorry t o a dd that the following refused so to do, and were each committed to the House of Correction for one month and hard labour :—Joseph Redhead, Thomas Boar, Henry Foster, Philip Spencer, and Wm. Stephenson —all spinners with Mr. Worsley. They had pro mised on Wednesday last to go to their work, an d Mr. W. did not bring the cases to a hearing on that - - - ing conferred the commission of :the peace upon seve ral gentlemen of the Jewish persuasion, and to the fact that an illustrious (he might call him) individual then present, Sir Moses Montefiore, had been made by the Duke of Wellington a magistrate of the Cinque Ports.— (Immense cheering.) He came before them as a per fectly fit and proper candidate. He brought in his hand the recommendations necessary to prove his qualifica tions; and not for himself only did he thus then contend. It was a question of principle. Let them have confidence in him, and they would break the last link in the chain of bigotry.—(Loud and continued cheering.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded an eloquent address amid much acclamation. After a few words from Sir MOSES MONTEFIORE, the Lord Mayor took the show of hands, and decided that the majority was in favour of D. Salomons, Esq. A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Sheriff Moon, and the polling was ordered for ten o'clock to-morrow. Thanks having been voted to the Lord Mayor, the meeting dispersed. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 24. (Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS.) IN BE ADOLPH DE WERENSKY, COMMONLY CALLED COUNT ADOLPH DE WERENSICY. The insolvent came up to-day to apply for his in terim order, he having, previously to the filing his petition, been in custody at the Queen's Bench prison for contempt, in not answering a bill filed against him in the Court of Chancery, at the suit of a Miss Atterly. He was opposed by Mr. Cooke, and in the course of a lengthened examination, the insolvent made the following (statement :—I have a right to the title of count, having inherited it from my father, who resided in that part of Austrian Poland called Gallicia. I have been a lieutenant in the Austrian Polish service, which I left in 1824, and have no half-pay. Since that time I have occupied myself in literary and scientific avo cations. My friends in Poland hare sent me money from time to time. Mr. Cooke—Did you ever at any time receive as much as 2,0001. a year ? Insolvent—Yes, I did, between the years 1832 and 1834 ; it was sent me from Poland by my relations. It was personally handed over to me in sovereigns, and never came through any bankers. Let us know the names of any of those persons who sent you the money P—l must not, for political rea sons, disclose their names, as they then resided in Russia. Mr. Cooke—But the disclosure cannot affect you, as you were in Austrian Poland. The insolvent—Possibly, but then I have written a great deal against the Emperor of Russia. Do you then consider the Emperor of Russia to be your personal enemy ?—Yes, I do consider him to be my personal enemy, and hence I refuse to answer your question as to the persons from whom I received the money. Mr. Commissioner ETANB-If the question were pressed, I think yoft would be bound to answer it. Mr. Cooke—Did you ever represent to any person, in 1842, that you had then 400/. a year ?—Never. When I was living at Brighton, I must have received money from my friends, but I must not disclose their names. When was the last sum of money received by you from your friends ?—The last time was in the summer of 1843, and the amount was about 3,0001. It was not placed in any bank, but we have plenty of sove reigns in Russia. Then, may I ask what did you do with them ? Oh, I soon found a place for them,but I did not tell any person that I received them. Was your receipt of that sum from your friends, or from property of your own P—From friends, for I never had any property of my own. My father, though a count, left me nothing. Can you tell the Court what became of the money ? —The greater part of it was lent. To whom was it lent, for there is no entry of it at all in your schedule ?—I lent to Miss Atterly 2,0001. How is that, when you now come up in custody, in which position you were placed for the recovery of a document which that young lady had been indiscreet enough to sign ? And I will ask you how you be came acquainted with her ?—She was residing with her mother and sister at a boarding-house at Brigh ton, where I was staying for some time. What could she want with so much money ?—I believe she gave the money to her brother. Mr. Commissioner I:yam—Had you any acknow ledgement for so large a sum of money ? The in solvent—Tes, sir, I had, but it was torn up ; how ever, the document which was the subject of the Chancery suit proved the debt. I did not give in an I answer tto the bill i n Ch ancer y because had no money. Mr. Cooke—Why did you not apply to the Court in forma pauperis, Insolvent—l did, and I filed two petitions and affidavits, which were unattended to by the Court, and at last I would rather live in poverty than go on thus " battering" with the lawyers. Mr.:Commissioner Evasis—l perceive that you mention nothing whatsoever of this 20001. in your schedule. This sum must be inserted. Insolvent—l thought, ;ir, it was inserted. By Mr. Cooke —What was the largest sum you ever lent this young lady at any one time ? The In solvent-3001, which I lent her when I was living at Blandford-place. All in gold ?—Yes, all in gold; in sovereigns, which were in two bags, and which she took away with her in a cab, for she always went away in a carriage. Did she not tell you what she wanted all that money for ?—She said her brother had But I will not go into that. You want, I see, to draw me into un pleasant matters, and I shall give you no further an swer, for you know all about it. Mr. Cooke disclaimed all knowledge of tho matters referred to by the insolvent, who stated nothing of this 2,0001. either in his schedule or in his special ba lance-sheet. Mr. Commissioner Eviacs—lt is impossible for me to receive this schedule ; and as to the insolvent's story I cannot believe one word of it. The insolvent—Then, sir, am I to be imprisoned for life ? Mr. Commissioner Evans—The petition is dis missed. The insolvent (a very military looking man) was then remitted to his former custody in the Queen's Bench. The Court then adjourned at four o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STI?EET. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVIENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1844. CLERKEN WELL, BRUTAL TREATMENT OF A MOTHER BY A SON.— Nathaniel Marks, a furniture broker, residing in Elisa-place, Sadler's Wells, was charged with violently assaulting Elizabeth Marks, his mother. The parties are of the Jewish persuasion. The prosecutor deposed that on Saturday, between twelve and one o'clock, she went into the workshop and asked her son to accompany her, in order to pur chase an oven; he refused in a very violent manner, upon which she observed that he ought to be ashamed of himself to treat his aged mother so in the presence of his workmen. Upon this he rushed upon her, seized her by the shoulder, and forced her out of the shop. She strove to save herself from falling down the steps, but the prisoner having broken her gripe of the door-post, knocked her down, and she fell on the kerb-stone outside with great violence. When down the prisoner kicked her on the body and side until she was insensible. Her flesh in these places was greatly contused, and she was still suffering much pain. Mr. Cosine—What have you to say to this charge of beating your mother ? Prisoner (sneeringly) —I don't know whether she is my mother or not ; per haps I am a bastard. Mr. COMBI—Has he ever ill-treated you before ? The unfortunate mother bared her neck, and showed the marks of three stripes, which she declared the prisoner had caused by dragging a red hot poker over that part of her body. He heated the poker for the purpose. Mr. Coma—What have you to say to that Prisoner—Just nothing. Mr. Coma—You must go to the House of Cor rection for two months, or pay a fine of 51. He was committed. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (Prom the London New Price Current of Sept. 24.) Svcan.—Since Tuesday last there has been more activity in the West India Sugar market, but importers generally have been more inclined to realise. To-day s t o h r e trse of a w s a e s g t o l o n d d idemand Sugar a o n rcelery the a r at n e sd previouslystrong esta blished were fully supported, but inferior qualities met with a slow sale, and in some cases the prices accepted were rather under those of Friday. The total purchases are 460 hhds, including a public sale of 150 hhds Bar badoes, a soft parcel, which went heavily at a decline on the rates of the last auction of 6d for the better, and Is per cwt for low and middling sorts. Fine yellow sold at 625, good middling 58s to 58s Cd, good 59s 6d to 61s, middling 56s 6d to 57s 6d, low 55s 6d to 56s per cwt. REPlNED.—Previous r a t es are we ll sustained for Re fined Sugar, and the demand has been lively from the home trade ; the market is still sparingly supplied. Brown Lumps for melting have been selling at 72s 6d ; brown grocery 73s to 73s 6d ; standard Lumps 74s 6d to 75s ; Tittlers common to good 74s to 78s, fine ditto 79s to 83s ; Hambro' Loaves 743 6d, to 84s, double ditto 85s to 903, and wet Lumps, 71s to 73s per cwt. The Grocers do not hold large stocks, notwithstanding the immense quantity of Refined Sugar purchased by them of late. Bastards in large parcels have been disposed of, low to middling at 41s to 475, good 48s to 525, and fine 53s to 57s per cwt. To-day Refined Goods underwent no variation in the value ; there was a good demand from the home trade, and the market has a firm appearance. Bonded Crushed Sugar is much wanted, and there are not sellers under 27s 6d for first quality. MAITRITIIIS.—The market has been much better sup plied, and prices have declined 6d to Is per cwt for grey, brown, and common yelloW qualities, if which the sup ply has principally consisted, but the better sorts of yel low brought fully former rates This afternoon there was no public sale. By private contract bright yellow sorts were wanted at firm rates, but inferior kinds were not much sought after. EAST INDIA.—In the value of white or strong yellow descriptions of Bengal Sugar no variation has taken place since Tuesday last; a good business has been transacted, but common yellow sorts have met with a dull sale at a decline on former rates of Is per cwt. This afternoon three parcels of Bengal Sugar, amount ing to 6,258 bags 9 chests, were brought to public sale, 4,321 bags 9 chests of which consisted of date • of these a small p ar t on l y sold at easier rates, and went at sls 6d to 538 6d for low and soft yellow, 54s 6d to 57s for mid, 50sj to 55s for damp and washed, 62s 6d to 65s for good and fine sound white, 60s for mid, and 58s to 61s 6d for damp and washed ; other sorts were all sold at stiff rates —very fine sound white fetched 68s to 69s 6d, fine 653 6d to 675, good 62. to 63s 6d, low and mid 598 to 60s, damp and washed 57s to 68s 6d per cwt. Manilla was in increased request privately, and the sales since Friday are 5,000 bags, nearly all at 19s per cwt. - FOREIGIC—There has been more activity in the foreign Sugar market ; importers manifest firmness, and none of any description has been brought to public sale. For yellow Savannah there has been a much better demand, and a large business has been trans acted at prices rather above those of last Tuesday. This afternoon there was no public sale of Foreign Sugar ; by private contract several transactions were prevented by importers asking rather higher rates ; the market has a firm appearance.

There were also twenty-four summonses against females employed by Messrs. German and Petty, for refusing to resume their employment. These took up a long time, and the Mayor addressed the parties at consi derable length with great earnestness and affection, urging upon them their duty to fulfil the contracts they had entered into, for they nearly all seemed de termined not to do so. The cases were allowed to stand over till Monday, Messrs. G. and T. promising to receive those who came back to their employ ment. There were two cases selected for hearing first, separate from the rest—Jane Ratcliffe and Betsy Clarkson. After ♦ery considerable time had been taken up in trying to persuade them to return to their work, but to no purpose, they were com mitted for one month to the House of Correction. Richard Watkinson, a boy in the employ of Messrs. Horrocks and Miller, was committed for one month : his case was heard previously on Wednesday. During the earlier part of the week, the power loom weavers in the employ of Mr. Gardner, not having their wishes granted with regard to an ad vance of wages, have been sitting idle at their looms. Thirteen of them were summoned for so doing before the magistrates on Thursday. Immediately on read ing these smmmonses a turn-out took place, and a meeting was held at the Marsh on Wednesday even ing, which was adjourned to Thursday morning, when a procession of weavers was marshalled, and proceeded to the Town-hall in a body, when the cases above re ferred to were heard and excited great interest. The parties promised to return to their work and serve the notice required by their employers.—Preston Guardian. DISTRESSING CASE. About two months ago a poor Irishman, named Bernard Connor, left his native village, near Elphin, county Roscommon, with his wife and four children, for the purpose of procuring employment at the Scotch harvest. They came by Donaghadee to Portpatrick, and travelled by short stages to Strathavon, when the wife, burdened with a delicate infant at her breast, becoming unable to go on, except at a very slow rate, it was agreed that the husband should push forward to East Lothian in the hope of obtaining immediate employment. The farm of Setonhill, in the parish of Gladsmuir, was appointed as a rendezvous ; and thither the poor woman, with her helpless family, dodged on in the hope of finding her husband, and obtaining from him such assistance as his means could afford. On arriving at Setonhill, however, the husband was not to be found ; and as she had heard of his intention to go to England, she wandered after him till, when within a short distance of the English border, she learned from an acquaintance whom she accidentally met, that her husband was then at work at Ballincrief, within three miles of Setonhill. Thither she retraced her step, and arrived at Bailin crieff just as he had been laid off work by an illness which was believed to be fever. In the fear of that grievous malady, no one would give him lodgings; and after a few days' delay, the whole family setoff to Had dington, a distance of not more than four miles. With great difficuty, and assisted by his wife and their eldest boy, he got to Haddington, where, on waiting on a medical gentleman, he was told his com plaint, though not fever, was a fatal one; and was recommended to get home as fast as he could, as there was no chance he would ever recover. The poor family turned their faces westward, and after a weary day got only a mile out of Haddington, and next night no farther than Spittalrig, about three miles from the former town, when, in utter exhaustion, he lay down in an open shed, where he remained from Monday till Thursday last, when Mr. Brash, farmer at Spittalrig, kindly dispatched a cart with him to Edinburgh, in the hope of getting him placed in the Royal Infirmary. The fatigue of the journey, however, was too much for him, and he breathed his last just as the cart entered the Water Gate. The body was brought to the Police-office, and the widow and children were accommodated in the Night Asylum. She was pointed out to the writer of this on Friday, seated on a heap of stones at the door of the police dead-house, rocking herself to and fro after the manner of her countrywomen, with her three clildren clinging about her—the whole group in an agony of grief too deep and too bitter to admit of comfort. Ever and anon she started from her cold seat, and looked earnestly and anxiously through the darkened window of the apartment where her dead husband lay, in the vain hope of obtaining another look at him ; and, after many tears, was pre vailed on to take a temporary shelter in the adjoining night refuge. She and her children are in extreme nakedness, and in a state of the most utter helpless ness and misery, and is is hoped this notice will at tract the sympathy of some humane persons willing to contribute a trifle to relieve the family from utter destitution. —Caledonian Mercury. AGAIN SIR ANDREW AGNEW. (From the Examiner.) Sir Andrew Agnew has had the impertinence to admonish the Queen as to the observance of the Sab bath. The lecture is conveyed in a letter to Lord Aberdeen, which we must suppose his Lordship must have seen the propriety of returning to the writer. The foolish knight declares that Scotland is " a strict Sabbath-observing country, in the true scrip tural sense of the word"—the whole question between it and England being, which is the true scriptural sense of the word, and some of the highest authori ties regarding the Mosaic observance of the Sabbath as contrary to the precepts of the New Testament. The Pharisee's letter letter deals in that free and familiar use of holy names and references which is highly profane, and in one place he presumes to pray that " the Sabbath may be a sign between God and her Majesty, whereby her Majesty may know that He is the Lord her God." As the Sabbath here meant is the strict Scotch Sabbath, the direct impli cation is, that when her Majesty does not observe that Sabbath, she betrays that she does not know her God. The insolence, the spiritual conceit, the puritanical cant, the presumption, the profaneness of all this are on a par. There is one characteristic trait of wordliness in the epistle. After having assigned all godliness to Scotland, the Pharisee intimates plainly enough that the example of the Court may one way or the other influence the habits of the people, thereby implying that the holding of the asserted scriptural rule is so slight on the minds of the people, or the influence of a Court so much stronger than the scriptural autho rity, that the custom of ages might be shaken by the passing spectacle of a deviation from it in great per sonages. lie writes, indeed, of " the overwhelm ing moral influence of the example of the Court." And is the moral influence so " overwhelming" in " a Sabbath-observing country in the true scriptural sense of the word ?" He thus does the people of Scot land the injustice of supposing that there is not amongst them a moral and a religious authority superior to any example of a court. But this incon sistency is the consequence of the sycophancy which is as natural to this sort of character, as its insolence and presumption, and the Pharisee, however auda ciously he may aspire to heaven, is never long without creeping on his belly to some earthly idol. SIR ANDREW AGNEW AND THE QUEEN.--This pharasaical coxcomb has bad the impertinence to for ward an address to Lord Aberdeen at Blair Athol, containing a lecture to the Queen upon the mode in which she should spend the Sabbath day in Scotland ! We shall next have the Total Abstinence Society, we presume, forwarding an address to her Majesty incul cating habits of temperance ! The one, we are sure, would be as appropriate as the other. Is there no end to this man's folly !—Scotsman. Yesterday John Durgan was placed before Mr. Jardine, charged with attempting to pick the pocket of a gentleman in Bow-street. Mr. J. M. Courtney, of The Sun newspaper, stated that he was passing along Bow-street, near to Govent garden Theatre, when he saw the prisoner go up be hind a gentleman, lift up his coat-tail, and put his hand into the pocket. Mr. Courtney immediately seized him, and gave him into the custod y of a policeman. The prisoner, with the utmost nonchalance, de clared that his hand:was not near the gentleman's pocket. Several policemen in the court stated that they knew the prisoner of old. Mr to three months' im prisonment A young man, who refused to g i ve hi s name, a j e A n E t D aniNdEhaserndtelanbcoeu. sentenced him clerk in the service of Mr. Jones, solicitor, of Par liament-street, was brought up in custody, charged yhis employer, u n d er t w h i e th fo r lo ea w li i n n g g 4 ci l r ., cu th m e st p a r n o c p e e s rt :L of Mr. Jones stated that until lately the prisoner was in his service as clerk, and about two months ago he gave him the money in question to pay to a house in the City. He had never done so, but had appro priated it to himself. There were several other cases of robbery under similar circumstances; as, for in stance, he had sent him to take out cop i es o f wr i ts, and had not done so, but had appropriated the money to himself. Mr. JARDINI said this was no offence of which he could take any notice. Mr. a bill, and he Jones —What' Sir, if I g i ve my servant 201. topay does not d o so, b ut appropriates the money to himself, is that no offence ? Mr. JARDINH—It is no criminal offence, although morally the man is guilty. It is in law merely a breach of contract, and as such I cannot take cog nisance of it. Mr. Jones—Well, I certainly should have consi dered it a robbery. Mr. JARDINB—It is nothing of the sort, and you as a professional man ought to have known that. The prisoner must be discharged. He was accordingly discharged. MARYIEBONE. Yesterday, Mr. John Alto, surgeon, of 54, Craw ford-street, Bryanstone square, and Mr. Joseph Hooper, medical student, 32, Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, appeared before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Rawlin son, to answer the charge of having, been found in the area of Major-General Farrer, No. 5, Upper Glou cester-street, Dorset -square. Major-General Farrer stated that all he knew of the matter was that the prisoners were brought to him by two policemen, who said that they had been found on his premises. Milton, 165 D, deposed that on the previous night, at a quarter past eleven, he saw the prisoner Hooper jump over the area railing of the General's house, there, to ; and run along the str ee t toward the Allsop Arms ; h e (witness) then went t o th e area gate, i ns id e o f w hi c h hee had s aw Mr.her A tto; time open; he asked hi m (Mr. Atto) what b us i ness h whichthe kitchen window was at that he replied that his visit was of a private nature, as on e o f t h e " g i r l s " h a d m i scarr i e d , and he had been Sent f or b y his friend Mr. Hooper to attend her. Wit ness asked h i m w h ere hi s f r i en d t was, and he stated that he was gone to the public house close by. Witness went with Mr. Atto to the Allsop Arms, and there met with Mr. Hooper. The prisoners were then taken back to the residence of General Farrer, and afterwards to the station. Mr. RAWLINSON (to General Farrer)—Do you know if there can be any truth in the statement as to any one in your house requiring assistance under the circumstances which you have heard related ? General Farrer—l don't know that it is true. Mr. RAWLINSON (to Mr. Atto)—What is your answer to this, sir. Mr. Atto—l' was called to the house by Mr. Hooper to see one of the females. Mr. RAWLINSON—Then why not, as a professional man, come out at the front door? Mr. Atto—We are often, sir, obliged to do' things " under the rose;'' the General knows all about my having been called to his house once before ; but I'd rather not say more upon that matter as I sh ou ld b e sorry now to rake up anything which might be calculated to scanda lise individuals. THE WEATHER AND CROPS.—The weather was fine till the afternoon of Friday last, when a drizzly rain set in, which, with short intervals, continued till the evening of Sunday. The Tay and Almond came down in fuller stream than at any time since the spring ; and as the rain has been quite general, it will prove very seasonable to the country millers. Harvest operations were of course stopped ; but, although Monday was a remarkably fine day, Tuesday lowered with occasion a l slight showers. Farmers will now require to be on the alert ; as, although not much to cut, there is calculated to be nearly half the crop still in the field, much of which, it is alleged, might have been secured. The first favourable accounts of the new crop are confirmed by each succeeding week. Oats are mealing well ; eighteen to twenty pecks to the boll. Barley will average about 521bs. to the bushel ; this crop is very unequal, some parcels so low as 471b5., and others up to 551bs. the bushel. The public here are not reaping the benefit of the low markets, most bakers still con suming the foreign wheat, which was imported during the summer at a considerably higher figure than the present rates in the home market.—Perth Courier. CLEVER CASE OF SWINDLIDG.—A respectable citi zen, in the oil and colour trade, was waited on last Thurs day, by an Englishman of venerable and genteel appear ance, who represented himself to be from the house of Messrs. Macintosh and Co., of London, the eminent waterproof manufacturers; and stated that he had a com mission to dispose of for the sale of a liquid capable o f rendering cloth of all kinds waterproof ! Having de scribed the articles, and mentioned the conditions upon which the house was willing to deal with an agent, be offered the gentleman the commission, and furnished him with a printed note of the terms, which were to the effect that Messrs. Macintosh and Co. would allow one shilling of commission upon every buttle sold. The gentleman thinking the agency not out of the way, and satisfied with the respectability of the house named, at once accepted the agency, which was forthwith to be advertised in the principal Scottish news papers. On being requested, moreover, he rashly ad vanced a sum of money to the stranger to account for future transactions, there being left with him an ample specimen of the marvellous liquid. Soon after the Eng lishman had retired, the newly-appointed agent pro ceeded to test the virtue of the liquid, when, to his amazement, he found it to contain nothing better than coloured water, and himself to be minus the sum ad vanced ; of course, the promised advertisements have not yet appeared, while the clever swindler has, as might have been expected, effectually disappeared.—.. Glasgow Argun. Mr. RewLursoN (to Mr. Hooper)—What have you to say ? Mr. Hooper---I accompanied my friend Atto to the house, and I assure you I was not there more than two minutes. • Mr. RAWLINSON—What right had you in the area at all ? Mr. Hooper—l merely went into the area, sir, and said I'd have a kiss b e f ore I l e f t. Nothing more transpired, either with regard to the I name or occupation of the fair one upon whose lips the kiss was or was intended to have been imprinted. Mr. RAWLINSON (to General Farrer)—Do you wish to press this charge, General ? General Ferrer —No, I do not. The "professional gentlemen " were, without any further explanation of their very extraordinary con ' duct being called for, set at liberty. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. Adele Dupierre was placed at the bar for the purpose of having the usual formalities completed previously to being sent for trial to the Central Criminal Court, on a charge of having robbed her master, Mr. Van Bever, of a large quantity of property. The pawnbrokers produced the stolen property in court. Mr. Young, of Princes-street, and Mr. Wood, of High. street, were the holders of about 130 pairs of boots and shoes, all of which large quantity was pledged with them by the prisoner in somewhere about one month. The pawnbrokers had lent but about eighteenpence per pair on the shoes, which were declared to be w o rth, on th e average, about five shillings per pair. As soon as the witnesses were bound over, the soli citor for the prosecution said he now proposed to charge the prisoner with having set fire to the pre mises in the Burlington -arcade on Monday week, or at least with having wilfully destroyed property, as it might appear from the evidence. Mr. MALTBY said the prisoner had 'already been twice placed at the bar without aar charge of this nature having been preferred. The solicitor said the reason was that he had no wish to intricate the case by mixing one charge with another. He was now prepared with evidence, and if the Court permitted, he would go at once into the charge. Mr. MALTBY was of opinion that the charge ought to be deferred for the present. If the prisoner was acquitted of the felony on which she had been just committed, Mr. Van Bever could then proceed with the other charge, or he might prefer a bill for the offence at the same time when he preferred the bill for the present case. The prisoner was then fully committed. WORSHIP-STREET. - - THE LITE CABS OF POISONING.—AIfred Edwards was placed at the bar for re-examination before Mr. Broughton, charged with having administered poison to a young woman named Jane Gregory, with whom he occasionally cohabited, and thereby caused her death. Serjeant Lambert notified to the magistrate that an inquiry had been commenced before Mr. W. Baker, the deputy coroner, on the preceding day, which had been adjourned until Friday next, to enable the che mical professor, to whom the residue of the noxious liquid had been submitted, to complete his analysis. Mr. George Hill Smith, assistant to Mr. Wildbore, the surgeon who attended the deceased, stated that he had an interview that morning with Dr. Leeson, the Professor of Chemistry at St. Thomas's Hospital, who was engaged in the analysis, and had ascertained from that ge n tl eman th a t he had detected among the contents of the bottle submitted to his inspection, a quantity of vegetable poison, called colchicum, or meadow saffron, sufficient to destroy life. Sergeant Lambert then stated, that in conse quence of his having been informed by the prisoner's father that he had in his possession some bottles con taining a similar liquid to that which the prisoner had given to the deceased, he proceeded on Friday even ing to the residence of that person, but he was un able to find any. The prisoner's sister, however, who resided in Whitechapel, had given him a bottle containing a dark-coloured fluid, which she alleged to be the same, and which was now under course of analysis. On searching a cupboard in the kitchen at the prisoner's residence, he found a paper packet con taining some white substance, marked outside " sugar of lead—poison," and also a small phial containing apparently oil of almonds. Caroline Watson, who had resided next door to the deceased, stated that while the prisoner was stand ing at the death-bed of the deceased, the witness asked him to drink some of the liquor, which he had given her himself, whereupon the prisoner took up the bottle and filled his month with the fluid, but in stantly spat it out into the fire-place, and carefully wiped his mouth with a pocket handkerchief. A solicitor, who appeared for the prisoner, said that he had two witnesses in att en d ance who had drank some of the liquor prior to the fatal occurrence, with out experiencing any ill effects from it. Mr. BROUGIITON said that the defence had better be reserved, as he should remand the prisoner until Saturday next, to await the issue of a coroner's inquest. SALTPETRE.—Importers of rough are not inclined to "submit to any further reduction in prices, and none has been offered at auction ; privately, however, there has not been much business transacted ; we quote low 23s 6d to 245, middling 24s 6d to 255, good 25s 6d to 265, and fine 26s 6d to 27s per cwt ; rather under these rates, there are, however, some orders in the market. English Refined is not much wanted, 39s to 29s 6d per cwt is the value. the exception of small parcels of East India taken for the Russian market, there has been little business transacted ; prices however remain firm, and there are no sellers but at priees equal to those of the last quarterly sale. TALLOW.—lmportars of Russian are not inclined .to submit to lower rates, but at present there is only a limited demand on the spot at 41s to 41s 3d for old, and 41s 6d to 41s 9d per cwt for New P.Y. Candle. For delivery in the last three months in the year the price asked is 41s 9d per owt, but few con• tracts have been entered into. South American has sustained its former worth, and 502 pkgs at auction fetched 34s 6d to 40s for common to fine; and very dark and soft 29s 6d per cwt. Of Town Tallow the market has been again cleared at 40s 6d to 41s per cwt nett cash; there is not a large quantity being produced. Ons.—For common descriptions of Fish Oils prices rule firm, and a good demand has prevailed by private contract at 3415 s to 341 15s for pale Seal, and 331 lOs to 341 for Cod ; 60 tuns of Southern at auction fetched 301 103 to 3215 s per tun. Sperm Oil is still wanted, and previous high rates are well sustained. Linseed Oil an extensive business was transacted at 24s 6d to 24s 9d per cwt on the spot, and the market:has a firm appearance. Rape Oil firm at 36s to 36s 6d for pale, and 35s to 35s 6d per cwt for brown. Cocoa SulOil at auction went at 261 153 to 27Z Palm, good Intl fine; at 26s to 27s 6d per cwt. Of Olive many parcels have been disposed of. Gallipoli at 441 to 451, Spanish 411 to 431; the value of Barbary is 39/ to 40/ per tun ; but the quantity here is still small. Of American Lard Oil some parcels sold, but not at better prices. COCOA.—West India has been sougnt after, and full r NEWMARKET /IRST OCTOBER MEETrit to rates offered, but there is little on offer in the private The match between Mania and Co.: is pactron" market, and nan,-- has b !irol7g l J E ; pr: in the Second October !Meting. have a firm appearance. Foreign has been sought after, and the parcels sold were at firm rates. COFFEE.—Although importers of West India have been more inclined to sell, and submitted to a reduction on previous rates of 2s per cwt, still the trade have ope rated with much caution, and the quantity brought for ward has proved more than sufficient for their necessi ties. The public sales went off with heaviness, Jamaica good middling at 955, middling 82s to 85s, low middling 75s to 80s, fine ordinary 63s to 725, fine ordinary 59s to 61s 6d, good ordinary 54s to 58s, ordinary 50s to 525, and triage 3ls to 48s per cwt. East India has not been much inquired for by shippers or the home trade, still holders show firmness, and supply the market sparingly. Ceylon, at auction good ordinary pale at 575, low middling bold palish coloury Plantation kind 755, fine ordinary bold pale coloury 66s to 675, pea berry 80s, and triage 50s per cwt, being the former worth, and merchants are not inclined to press sales, although there is a great increase in the stock as compared with that of last year, and prices much higher than they were at that period. Of Bengal 28 bags at 4d per lb were of at auction, sound was taken in at 57s for pale, rather broken, sea damaged, however, sold at 51s 6d, ditto and repacked 45s per cwt. Of other East India sorts none has been brought to public sale, and the busi ness transacted privately has been extremely limited. This afternoon there was no public sale of any descrip. tion of Coffee, and the purchases made privately were extremely limited in all sorts ; Ceylon of good ordinary quality, however, could not generally be obtained under 57s per cwt. Mocha could only be disposed of on lower terms. Of Foreign Coffee some parcels are offering at easier terms. Tza.—lmporters alga more inclined to realise, and several parcels have suddenly been declared for public competition. To-day 1,016 pkgs of Assam Tea were offered at public sale, and nearly all disposed of ; Con gou at 10d to 2s 9d, chiefly at Is to Is 7d. Souchong fetched 2s to 3s id, low 100, and Pekoe 2s 4ed to 33 lid per lb. In the private market there was little busi ness done in any sort. The trade waiting for the auc tions of 10,000 pkgs, declared for to-morrow. SPICES —Prices are not so firm for Jamaica Ginger, and the public sales of 185 pkgs went at a decline on former rates of 5s to lOs per cwt, low to fine quality selling at 31 10s to 111 133 per cwt. This afternoon sales of Cassia Lignea were made privately at is to 2s per cwt advance on the rates of the last public sales. Of Cinnamon small parcels have been sold at prices rather above those that prevailed towards the close of the last quarterly auctions. Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—For Jamaica pre vious improved rates are fully sustained, and a good business has been transacted to supply home and export orders ; the operations are three hundred puns, at 35 10d to 4s 6d for mid to good quality 30 to 36 per cent 0. P.: of fine and high flavoured sorts there are scarcely any in the market at present, and they are much wanted. Leewards at 2s 5d to 2s sfd proof strength, and good brown ditto 2s 6d per gallon. Calcutta at 2s' 3d to 2s 3id proof with certificate. Deme rara 3s 2d to 3s 6d for good and fine. Of Jamaica the arrivals are large since this day week, bet of Leeward Island small. For common sorts of Brandy prices are kept up by the short supply. Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1838, hhds 5s 2d, puns 5s ; 1839, hhds is, puns 4s 10d ; 1840, hhds 4s I Id, puns 4s 9d ; 1841, hhds 4s 10d, puns 4s 8d ; 1842, hhds 4s 7d, puns 4s sd, and mid to good mid 3s 4d to 4s per gallon. Geneva is not so much wanted for shipping, Is 10d is the value ; of fine fit for duty prices are steady at 2s 6d to 3s 6d. English Corn Spirits 10s 4d per gall, cash. To-day a good demand existed for Leeward Island and Calcutta Rum ; sales of the former were made at 25 5d proof, and the latter at 2s 3d per gallon. Jamaica was not so much in request, and there is a large quantity of mid qualities on the market ; however, holders generally are not inclined to take lower rates, as arrivals are nearly all in for the season. RlCE.—Holders of Bengal show firmness, and have refrained from offering any at auction ; by private con tract there has been a much better demand, and the rates paid are rather above those previously quoted. To-day a good demand prevailed by private contract for Bengal and middling white was not to be purchased under Ils per cwt ; but at auction the sound of 1,000 bags was taken in at 12s to 12s 6d for fine bold clean white, being above the value ; a few lots of sea damaged were however sold at Its for first class, 105 for second ditto ; and 8s per cwt for third ditto. FRUIT. 44s to 47s is the value of Patras, and 38s to 41s per cwt for Zante and Cephalonia. New Muscatel Raisins have been sold, boxes in layers at 955, half ditto 1005, and quarter ditto 120 s per cwt. Valentia Raisins are much wanted. In other sorts of Fruit scarcely anything has been done. HOP INTELLIGENCE.
