1.! MIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS PROM TER EVENING PAPERS oe YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—In answer to the demand for corn b% a ss along with l e a ses , a ques ti on ha s been put at wi uch we are not much surprised, considering the Vs ?ter whence it emanates, but in dealing with Ith IA we do not anticipate much difficulty. It is 6 4 33 d, why corn-rents only ? If the farmers' rents to be calculated according to the existing price of ins produce, why not also his taxes ?—why not • erything we purchase? Now, there is one ye ow simple answer to this. Supposing it were ING, Into whose pocket would the difference go ? W l*sever the farmer managed to save in low iced years, would only serve as a help to meet a ever-recurring difficulty—rent. This objection o- conclusive as it appears at first sight—is but one of 111 Fe many ingenious devices of the landowners for keeping together a little longer their system of itnon epoly rents. The readiness of the landowners, Se Is class, to adapt themselves to every change in the , state of palls feeling or circumstances, It: really wonderful. When the manufacturer p skited out to the farmer how closely united * ere their common wants; how their joint inter s& t lay, in fact, in getting their raw material—the is met. 'his land, and the manufacturer the land's pro ds ce—at the cheapest possible rate, the landowner vec claimed aloud, with the stunning authority of a rd Peter, Oa' the identity of interest lay between tifit a who let the soil and him who hired it. When be found protection slipping slowly, but surely, from tiffs grip, who so urgent as he to teach the farmer not to rely on protection, but on his own industry?— who so unceasing in his endeavours to persuade the firrmei to expend his capital in improving his land lord's soil ? When the counter-cry for leases arose, what beautiful effusions upon " mutual confidence," —what " noble sentiments" about " the old ancestral relations l" And now, when it seems soms few leases Lave here and there been wrung from them, and it is found to be impossible to calculate a rental that shall give any real security to the farmer ; and it is there lore reasonably enough demanded, that if the present system is to be continued, rents shall rise and fall with the fluctuations which that system creates ; the reply is, in heartless mockery : " Oh yes, have corn-rents, corn-taxes, and every thing else that your hearts can find to desire." Nlre thank the organs of restriction—let it not be called " protection"—for their implied admission. Their system necessitates injustice to the farmer, ramifying through all the relations of his social life, the only remedy for which needs but to be named to show that is impossible. That the sliding-scale is the real cause of the enormous fluctuation in prices, we apprehend cannot now be doubted. It may be conceded, that under a perfectly free trade between all the nations at the world, there would be considerable fluctuation in the produce of different countries in the same year, and some even in the aggregate production of different years. But two causes would materially operate to lessen the fluctuation itself, and still more its effect neon prices. Were the trade universally free, the aggregate demand would be known ; and would be the more effectually provided for, because every farmer would be sure of a market for an occasional surplus. And this, which provides for a supposed ag gregate surplus, would also greatly modify the ill con sequences of a partial deficiency. It may be stated, in deed, as a statistical axiom, that the more wide the extent of surface from which the produce is to be drawn, the less will any fluctuations in its quantity be felt. But the sliding-scale narrows and cuts down the extent of surface, embracing all Europe and America in its range, to two islands at the antipodes of each other. In so large a proportion, therefore, does it exaggerate the otherwise slight and harmless effects of an occasional badness of the seasons. The sliding seale causes the fluctuation, by which the farmer is ibis first to su ff er. When the landowner, for whose „n 4 9aenefit alone it exists, at this cruel cost to his immediate tenants and dependents, is asked to iterfere, his reply is—that it " depends on cir cumstances over which the landowner has no control ;" that so far as corn-rents may be of service, he will concede that requirement when the farmer has obtained a similar concession from every one with whom he may possibly have dealings! Really, since we hear so much about " identity of interest," we shall be very glad to be in formed in what it consists. It is clear it does not con sist in otoncessions by the landlord. It does not con sist in giving the farmer the free use of his capital ; of the labourer the free use of his hands ; it does not consist in leaving to either the freedom of their con e•ltence ; it does not consist in the security of a lease, or the equity of a cern-rent. In the utter absence o' information from those who most insist on it, and eitherefore ought best to know, we can but come to ow. conclusion : the " identity of interest" between the fsrmer and the landlord, consists in the farmer strug • gl'ing to give, and the landowner taking, the highes p issible rent that can, by any manner of means, be rqueezed out of him. STANDARD.—So long as agricultural meeting= promised to minister to the splenetic feelings of cer tdin mock-Conservative opponents of the Governmen. —So long as they afforded opportunities to a few can krred and dissatisfied individuals to abuse Sir Robert rr!.el and denounce his new tariff—they were re .lsarded with peculiar favour by more than one of our (Jelly Contemporaries; and an importance was at t 'shed by them to the more objectionable portions of proceedings, which could not be said fairly to along to them. There is no public meeting con• vened, for a purpose however laudable, whose larmony may not be destroyed, and its use fulness impaired, by some noisy and ill-conditioned jan-son, who may persist in throwing the apple of political discord among his audience. To such dis s-entients the untried tariff of Sir Robert Peel afforded an apparently exhaustless theme ; and the benevolent and praiseworthy objects of agricultural meetings were tolerated by their newspaper instiga ten solely for the sake of such demonstrations. It was soon found, however, that the introduction of political questions at such meetings was calculated t ) impair, if not wholly destroy, that power for the attainment of a 'common benefit, which nothing but union can secure. The leading objects of agricul tural associations are, or ought to be, to promote f.elings of harmony and good will between the landl.ord and tenant, and the tenant and his servant ; to remind them of their mutual obliga /ions ; aryl to supply a stimulus to industry, intelli gence, and good conduct to the latter; and to afford oecasiens for the diffusion of agricultural science, nd the reciprocation of that most useful of all knowledge, the practical knowledge derived from ac t ual experience. These are objects with which party politics can have nothing to do, and it has there fore been wisely decided that political topics should I,e excluded, fur the future, from such re-unions. s:rlits resolution has proved highly distasteful to those jouisnalists who were in the habit of illustrating from such displays their own cankered views of political affairs ; but, most of all, to the pseudo-Conservative opponents of the new tariff. They had hoped to reap an abundant harvest of discontent from such vneetings, and their prophecies sometimes ful hlled themselves. Since the declaration of Lord Norreys, and the determination which has been elsewhere exhibited to exclude political dis cussion from agricultural meetings, however, they have fallen a hundred per cent. in the estimation of this order of politicians, and have become, in their estimation, either altogether useless or absolutely ridi culous. It is not surprising, therefore, that the pro ceedings of the South Derbyshire Agricultural Asso ciation shoulll have excited in an extraordinary degree the anger of these atrabilious gentlemen ; for although one of them deals in grave regrets, and the other in that cheapest of all munitions of political warfare, ridicule, they both work in one team. Thee conduct of Mr. Colvile, in congratulating his udie nee on the banishment from agricultural meet ings of political discussions, would of itself have sub jected him to reproof on the one hand and sneers on the other; but his explanation to the less correctly infarraed of his audience, that the introduction of American cheese into this country had benefitet. th e poorer c l asses , w ith ou t dimi nishingm the slight es t d eg r ee th e p ro fit s o f th e Bri tish farmer, appears to have provoked the gravest condemnation. Mr. Colvile showed how absurd and premature were the complaints of the new tariff, by proving that, although it was perfectly true that American cheese had been imported in large quan tities, the effect had been simply to super sede the use of Dutch cheese —a commodity for which an enormously larger price th an i ts qua li ty warranted has heretofore been obtained. From his statistics on the subject we may infer that, instead of the importation of cheese having i ncrease d by reason of the new tariff, it has diminished during the last ten years by nearly 32,000 cwt. ; whilst th e commas; of that commodity have been au gmented upwards of two millions ! This is of course a " great fact" on the wrong side ; but it is one which ought to suggest to farmers the necessity for making themselves acquainted with the general results of a measure of which they profess to disapprove, before they complain of it. Beside, the farmer is not insensible to the comforts of his labourers, and if so, he cannot fail to have discovered how vastly superior is the qua lity of American cheese to the trash it has super seded. With regard to the alleged decline in the prices of British chesse, we can only add, that if the statement be correct the British consumer has yet to become acquainted with the fact For ourselves we believe, that although it has afforded excuses to the manufacturers to deteriorate the quality, it has led to no substantial reduction of the price of that description of cheese which used to form the staple of the market. The same remark will, we believe, apply to meat ; and yet the poor have been peatly benefited by the change. The pres sure was at first great, but as in England the Tunity of the commodity will always ensure a pre .and as th a t qua lit y i s rare l y r i va ll e d else where, no soon found that the competition, THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1844. . affectmg only the inferior produce, had been emi nently serviceable to the poor without prejudicing the farmer. Most of the charges which were originally brought, with so much apparent good faith, against the new tariff have successively vanished into thin air, dissipated by facts which its assail ants have been wholly unable to contro vert ; and the mischief to the meaner order of the opponents of the Government is, that the facts evolved at every successive agricultural meeting is sure to disturb one or other of their anti-ministerial theories. Their towards agricultural associa tions, since the exclusion of political topics from their discussions, is therefore easily to be accounted for. 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. The cases excited much interest, and the Town-hall was crowded to excess each day. The iudividuals 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 employers. Commitments 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 give the regniar month's notice, to serve their time, and then leave. As far as we learn these proceedings arise from a desire on the part of the operatives for an advance of wages, which some of the masters hesitate to give, at least to the extent re quested. Yesterday the Town-hall was again the scene of great excitement—a great number of cases similar to the above having to be heard. Several promised to resume their employment, but we are sorry to add 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, and Mr. W. did not bring the cases to a hearing on that day, but they had not fulfilled their promise, and as they still persisted in not working, the Mayor with very great reluctance ordered their committal. 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 -1 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 very 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 t4Scotch 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 setting 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 front utter destitution.—Caledonian Mercury. 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 occasional 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 4714, 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 or SWINDLIIIG.—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 of 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, he 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 bottle 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 the promised ad ver ti semen ts h ave na3.et a ; p o p f ear co e u d r , se, while the clever swindler has, as might have been expected, effectually disappeared.--Glasgow Argus.

COURT OF BANIRO PTCY, Sept. 24. (Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.) IN RE ADOLPH DE WERENSKY 3 COMMONLY CALLED COUNT ADOLPH DE WERENSKY. 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. Crake, 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 have 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 sold 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 ?—I mist 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 P—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 Erma—lf the question were pressed, I think you would be bound to answer it. Mr. Cooke—Did you ever represent to any person, in 1842, that you had then 4001. 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 7—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 P—l 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 1 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? believe she gave the money to her brother. Mr. Commissioner EvANs—Had you any acknow ledgement for so large a sum of money ? The in solvent—Yes, 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 answer ito the bill in Chancery because I 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 EVANS—I perceive that you mention nothing whatsoever of this 20001. in your schedule. This sum must be inserted. Insolvent—l thought, sir, it was inserted. By Mr. Cooke—What was the largest sum you ever lent this young lady at any one time ? The In solvent—SoO/1 which I lent her when I was living at BI an d ford -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 ne further an swer, for you know all about it. Mr. Cooke disclaimed all knowledge of the 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 EVANS -It 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 EYANS—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-STREET. Yesterday J o h n D'irgan was placed bef o re 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 custody 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. JARDINE sentenced him to three months' im prisonment and hard labour. A young man, who refused to give his name, a clerk in the service of Mr. Jones, solicitor, of Par liament-street, was brought up in custody, charged with stealing 41., the property of his employer, under the following circumstances: — 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 copies of writs, and had not done so, but had appropriated the money to himself. Mr. JARDINE said this was no offence of which he could take any notice. Mr. Jones—What, Sir, if I give my servant 201. to pay a bill, and he does not do so, but appropriates the money to himself, is that no offence ? Mr. JARDINE — 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. JARDINE—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. MARYLEBONE. 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, and run along the street toward the Allsop Arms ; he (witness) then went to the area gate, inside of which he saw Mr. Atto ; the kitchen window was at that time open; he asked him (Mr. Atto) what business he had there, to which he replied that his visit was of a private nature, as one of the "girls" had miscarried, and he had been sent for by his friend Mr. Hooper to attend her. Witness asked him where his friend 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 Ferrer, and afterwards to the station. Mr. RA.WLINSON (to General Farrer)—Do you know if there can b e any trut h i n t h e s t a t emen t as t o any one in your house requiring assistance under the circumstances which you have heard related ? General Ferrer—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. RawuNsost—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 a b ou t m y having been called to his house once before ; but I'd rather not say more upon that matter, as I should be sorry now to rake up anything which might be calculated to scanda lise individuals. Mr. RAWLINSON (to Mr. llolper) — Wilt have you to say? Mr. Hooper—l 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 before I left. Nothing more transpired, either with regard to the name or occupation of the fair one upon whose lips the kiss was or was intended to have been imprinted. Mr. ItawraNsorz (to General Farrer)—Do you wish to press this charge, General ? General Farrer —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 worth, on th e average, about five shillings per pair. As soon as the witnesses were hound 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 way 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. Tan LATE CASE or 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 gentleman that 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, ho 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 mouth 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 attendance who had drank some of the liquor prior to the fatal occurrence, with out experiencing any ill effects from it. Mr. BROUGHTON 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. CLERKEN WELL, BRUTAL TRBA.TMENT OT A MOTHBR BT A SON.— Nathaniel Marks, a furniture broker, residing in Eliza 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. COMM—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. COMBB—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. COMBE—What have you to say to that ? Prisoner—Just nothing. Mr. CoMBE—You must go to the House of Cor. rection for two months, or pay a fine of 51. He was committed. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Sept. 24.) SUGAR.—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 there was a good demand for colory and strong refining sorts of West India Sugar, and the rates previously 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 6d, good 59s 6d to 61s, middling 56s 6d to 57s 6d, low 55s 6d to 56s per cwt. REFlNED.—Previous rates are well 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 74s 6d, to 84s, double ditto 85s to 90s, 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. MAITAITIIIS.—The market has been much better sup plied, and prices have declined 6d to Is per cwt for grey, brown, and common yellow qualities, of which the sup ply has principally consisted, but the better sorts of yel low brought fully former rates This aft ernoon th ere 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 G,258 bags 9 chests, were brought to public sale, 4,321 bags 9 chests of which consisted of date ; of these a small part only sold at easier rates, and went at 51s 6d to 53s 6d for low and soft yellow, 54s 6d to 57s for mid, 5054 to 55s for damp and washed, 62s 6d to 65s for good and fine sound white, 60s for mid, and 58s to 618 6d for damp and washed ; other sorts were all sold at stiff rates —very fine sound white fetched 68s to 69s 6d, fine 65s 6d to 675, good 62s to 63s 6d, low and mid 59s 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. - POREIOM—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 Havannah there has been a much better demand, and a large business has been trans a2ted 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. 31oLassas.—West India was rather cheaper, but the purchases made have been extensive, amounting to 450 puns at 20s to 24s per cwt for low to good quality; there have been further arrivai.i. East India i'ale at 145 to 16.3 per cwt. COCOA.—West India has been sought after, and full rates offered, but there is little on offer in the private market, and none has been brought to public sale ; prices have a fir m a p pearance . F ore i gn h as b een 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 31s 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 fered 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. TEA.—importers am 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 mid, and Pekoe 2s 4id to 3s 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 net so firm fur 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 lOs to 11/ 13s 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 5d proof strength, and good brown ditto 2s 6d per gallon. Calcutta at 2s 3d to 2s 3i-cl proof with certificate. Deme rara 3s 2d to 33 6d for good and fine. Of Jamaica the arrivals are large since this day week, but 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 58, puns 4s 10d ; 1840, hhds 4s I Id, puns 4s 9d ; 1841, hhds 4s 10d, puns 4s 8d ; 1842, !Ads 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 lOs 4d per gall, cash. To-day a good demand existed for Leeward Island and Calcutta Rum ; sales of the former were made at 2s 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 11s per cwt ; but at auction the sound of I,ooo' 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 11s for first class, 103 for second ditto ; and 8s per cwt for third ditto. FRUIT.-445 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 100 s, and quarter ditto 120 s per cwt. Valentia Raisins are much wanted. In other sorts of Fruit scarcely anything has been done. SALTPETRE.—Importers of rough are not inclined to submit to any further reduction in prices, and n one 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 cm ; rather under these rates, there are, however, some orders in the market. English. Refitted is not much wanted, 29s to 29s 6d per cwt is the value. INDloo.—With 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 prices equal to those of the last quarterly sale. TALLow.—lmporters of Russian are not inclined to submit to lower rates, but at present there is only a limited c'mand on the spot at 41s to 41s 3d for old, and 41s 6d to 41s 9d per cwt for New 1 3 . Y. Candle. For delivery in the last three months in the year the price asked is 41s 9d per cwt, 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. OILS.—For common descriptions of Fish Oils prices rule firm, and a good demand has prevailed by private contract at 34/5s to 341 15s for pale Seal, and 331 lOs to 341 for Cod ; 60 tuns of Southern at auction fetched 301 10s 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 Nut Oil at auction went at 261 15s to 271. Palm, good and fine, at 26s to 27s 6d per cwt. Of Olive many parcels hare been disposed of. Gallipoli at 441 to 454 Spanish 41/ to 431; the value of Barbary is 391 to 401 per tun ; but the.quantity here is still small.

NEWMARKET IIRST OCTOBER MEETING. The match between Mania an d C aster i s p os tponed t 0 Friday in the Second October Meeting. HOP INTELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE.—The hops in Mid Kent are going. 4 with the red mould; in some gardens it is getting very bad, and they want picking. It will make the. very best samples more v a l ua bl e . Th e h o ps called Colegates keep by far the best this year. The pick" ing will not close this week. We shall have very few fine in colour ; there will be some very good bags. EAST FARLEIGH.—The hop s are , as us u a l in this parish, very good, but in almost every case they3eg a to come down short of what was expected. BRENCHLEr.—IIop-picking is favourably progress' ing in this vicinity, and if the weather continues fil e ' will last ten days or a fortni g ht fr om thi s time. lu e quality and crop are equally good. We hear of 11° sales of Brenchley hops at present. Our gorres pondent says—" You have heretofore reminded yar friends of the propriety of keeping a tub of wat er handy to their oast-houses. This is customary here , by which fires have been extinguished when first di covered.". HurtsT-GREEN.---The accounts from most of our hop planters is, that the hops came down much faster than was expected, many grounds not producing °y e cwt. per acre, and in general of a very inferior qualitt Some grounds, that have not b een a ff ec ted by th e blight, will produce very good samples. The duty 130,0001. is thought much too high by our most av perienced men. HORSMuNDEN.—Picking in this parish is going 1 1 , rapidly, and some few small plant ers ha v e finished• t; the weather proves favourable it will be nearly ant this week. The shortness of the fall may still be tributed to the winds, notwith s ta n di ng they weer well, and are of good quality. 'Jur correspondent tidal -- ; As respects prices, it has been said i n f ormer years t u , 11 ., the planters have it all in their own hands. That bell's the case, how is it now? Supposing the mouldy and di eased samples of the weak districts•to contain 50,00 0 the duty, there is only 80,000 left of sound good h°l 39 fit to brew India ale, &c. These, added together make nearly 30,000 short of a year's consumPti°;" Not to "spoil a ship for a pennyworth of tar, TM be applied with as good a reason to not spoiling hogshead of beer, good and strong, for a shilling; the uttermost cost pricy would not be more than 2 " . per gallon, at a good, fair, remunerating price to th . ! planter. I hope that those who can hold back will take this argument into consideration. TICEHURST.—The hop picking is brought to sell: on several farms hi this parish. The general opine of is that it commenced too soon, as the hops are 11 , ° , 1 fully ripe, in consequence of which several ner sl:4 ', who have not finished have delayed for a few days/ 5 that it may be said we are hop-picking at intervals! Maidstone Gazette. of BATTLE.—The crop here is decidedly short ever' i s the small estimate at which it was put ; the picking finished. BURWASH.—As the hop-picking proceeds, we a ll as we last week anticipated, the crops in nearly ti , our plantations considerably less than they were el m mated at previously to its commencement. e re weights, too, are not so good, generally, as they s o me last week, more than 70 bushel s havi ng been, 41 ,,,t, instances, required to the cwt. W e h ave beard, s i but of two sales—one lot at six guineas, the oth er 71. Picking will be finished this week. forc e EAST HOATHLY.—Hop-picking is now in fa.l t he in this and the neighbouring parishes ; they for me ' most part come down shockingly bad, with s, exceptions, as some few plantations will prove to ot , fine average crop. With regard to weight they C i i" pretty well to the scale. , f 00l EAST PECKHA.M, &C.—Though the sampled t i o e the villages in this district will not be of very , 1 quality, yet in quantity they will rather exceed was expected previously. ' FARNHAM.—Hop-picking is now at an end 11 ev neighbourhood, and the planters have secured 0 4 to oellent crop, quite equal both in number and illisufa ot their expectations. A few pockets have been 5° 101. 10s. per cwt. o 'o bt MAYFIELD.—The hop-picking will be brogg bird , close this week, and the crop will fall short one -t The hops that are picked f u lly su pp o rted the c, 2 , t ' at i lations of the supposed deficiency—not one s ° ll ool e instance but must verify this. There have been s h 5 5 sales effected at 61. per cwt., and that is as ranch or can be expected, the samples being very imP' ee a hlf indifferent as to quality ; but th e y weigh remark s 4 5 well, requiring not more in some instances than bushels to the cwt.—some years it wants 80. believe PEMBURT.—Though, upon the whole, we . e no w that we shall average last year's growth, yet , the seems a good deal more damage had been done s e, high winds than was expected, particularly, of colt he in the more exposed parts of the parish; in others ell hops came down in excellent order, and quite as . as was expected. n of SevErfoaxs.--The hops here are coming doW - b. ob a capital colour, and in good condition ; in the n,,, bourhood the picking is also going on as well to c' be expected. - TENTERDEN.—The crop here is scarcely anYth i l worth naming, and what there is is very bad. — Advertiser.
