SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TETE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The " thorough" Tories have always been emphatically the party of personal slanderers. Addressing ignorance and prejudice, slander, of course, is their readiest weapon. Tina " thorough" democrats have ignorance and prejudice for their audience in like manner—the distrusts and. grudges of those who stand lowest in the scale, against all above them—just as the " thorough" Tories address themselves to the contempt of the vulgar great for all below them. Nothing can be more natural, there fore, than the sort of coalition in (calumny esta blished between the Ferrands and Ilobsons—the Standards and Northern Stars. We request our readers to pay more attention than provincial and per sonal disputes for the most part can challenge, to the report of proceedings in the Leeds Town Council. The original subject of those proceedings was first brought under the attention of London readers by a blazing leading article of the Standard, showing up Leaguers as described by themselves. The authority on which the Standard proceeded was that of a certain Mr. Joshua Hobson, a town councillor of Leeds (whom the Standard promoted, of its own mere motion, into an alderman), and publisher of the O'Connor Chartist paper, the Northern Star. The charge against the Anti-Corn-law party in Leeds, which the Standard brought forward for the gratification of its Tory readers, on the authority of its Chartist ally, was reiterated as follows by Mr. Hobson—in a letter to a Morning Contemporary : " Some weeks 40, at a large public meeting in the town of Leeds, I took occasion to relate a circumstance that had come Mader my observation, with reference to the strike of 1842, which seriously implicated the conduct of nn Alderman of Leens, the said Alderman being a well-kno..vn Whig, a member of the Anti-Corn-law League, and once a member of the watch committee of the Common Council of Leeds. " That circumstance was, that in the month of February, 1843, I received a certain letter from a Member of the House of Commons, inclosed in a note to myself, desiring me to make the following inquiries:— " 1. Whether such a person as the one represented to be the writer existed ; and " Whether, if there was such a person, he was prepared to maintain the truth of his statements ; and further, whether he *al worthy of credence. " The reason assigned by the Member of Parliament for wishing these inquiries to be made was, that he was fearful the letter was a hoax, intended to lead him into error. " That the said letter purported to be written by a master machine-maker in Leeds, name and address being given " That the writer averred that some fortnight before the strike occurred an alderman of Leeds, whose name was mentioned, sent for him (the writer) and informed him that a general strike would in a short time take place ; that when it reached Leeds, he would greatly serve the cause if he would turn the men employed in his machine-shop out, with a hint to draw the plugs of the boilers ; that as the men were mechanics, they would be useful in teaching others how to draw the plugs ; and that they would also, if it were needful, know how to blow the boilers up. " These statements were said to bo made voluntarily, and from just and patriotic mo'ives ; and the writer declared his readiness to make oath as to their truth at the bar of the House of Commons. " That in accordance with the request to me I ascertained— " I. That there was a master machine ►oaker of the name and at the place set forth in the letter ; and "2. That he bore a character for fair dealing, probity, and honour." Now we beg attention first to one simple considera tion, which does not seem to have occurred to the " Member of the House Commons" (who turns cut to be Air. Ferrand), nor to the Standard, nor to the No, therm Star branch of the calumny coalition. If this Anti Corn-law Alderman of Leeds, who is thus said to have sent for a master machine-maker of the same place—a man of fair dealing, probity, and honour—really did send for a respectable fellow•r townsman to propose such infamy to him—to serve the cause by drawing the plugs of his boilers, and, ifneed ful, blowing the boilers up—ifthis extremely probable proposition was made by one capitalist to another—and accompanied with timely intimation that a pre meditated scheme for performing such operations " would in a short time take place" in Leeds as else where, by the particular desire of the Anti-Corn-law League—Forewarned, forearmed—u hat would the machine-maker of fair dealing, probity, and honour, have done ? If the impudent liars, who fabricate, publish, and republish such things, .were not as stupid as- impudent—if the Tory-Chartist coalition had an ounce of brains, any more than a temple of honesty — if their one Member of Parliament, Their knight o' the shire, who repre , ients there all, —were not, in gross swallow, as in foul tongue, pre cisely their fit representative—how could have failed to occur to some of the crew, whether inven tors or retailers, that the tale stultifies itself—that the man was a public criminal, who could keep it secret, when notice to the local authorities, or the Home Secretary, might have prevented the whole outbreaking of August, 1842—who could bottle all this up till February, 1843, and then only write :t—to Mr. Ferrand--that famous depository for authentic matters of fact from all quarters. The story-teller, therefore, put hirnsch: out of court by his own story. But it was not amiss to track him out notwithstanding, and detect who he is. This is what has been done by the discussion at the L eds Town Council. It appears, then, that this Leads Oates, who stores up conspiracies in lik.ttle for the Tory-Chartist coalition, and whom iJ r. JoAlia 'Hob son, of the Northern Star, guarantees as a man of fair dealing, probity, and honour—aceording to his esti mate of those qualities—is a certain William Smith, a fraudulent bankrupt, who could net ohtain belief on -his oath before the Bankruptcy Court-- but who has been more fortunate in obtaining• . a witness to his "probity" in Mr. Hobson of the N)rtleern S:ar, a correspondent in Mr. Ferranti, Member fin- Enares borough, and a copyist in the editor of Ur! Strlndard. STANDARD.—" A farmer," said 'Jr. Cobden, in one of his late incendiary haranguer, " has four sons; he can give his farm but to one --the other three must go into trades. Ile has, therefore, three times - as much interest in trlde as in agrieultur.'.." The proper reply to this fallacy wai=s the questions — into ;xliat trades were the three, young men to go ? What trades or professions are there from which all, without a command of money, are not excluded by you monied capitalists? What trades ate there that I'OU are not destroying by your gra'ping monopoly ? lias it nut come to this, that in your unbridled lust gain you now . seek to rob e . ,en the litheu the agriculturist, ar'l leave even the - fourth son without a means of living ? The coin; etition among the class of mere labourers is the liAtte,t and least distressing competition of our day. Co into any family, from the artisan or the petty retailer up wards, and ask how its younger members are to be disposed of, and you will hear the same melan choly complaint, that the head of the family does not know. His own trade or profession is already overstocked ; as far as he can learn ail othe'r trades and professions of corresponding rank are over- Ftocked also; what is to become of his offspring ? He cannot tell, for even the classes below him are suffer ing from the common repletion. This is a description of the present state of society, which must he familiar to every one. Is the evil beyond the reach of cure? We trust not ; and we are ene waged to hope a remedy possible, by a consideration that a very slight degree i relief, would produce effects far beyond its seem ing jauenee, thai a subtraction of but a tenlh or a twentieth from any class, profession, or trade, 3vould go far to place it in a healthy state, just as the i,:king of a few ounces of blood frequently subdues a fever. What is the remedy ? he Foreign and colonial Quarterly tells us, colonisation—colonisation which affords a twofold relief in its inception, relief to those wha emigrate and relief to those who remain, and which, in its completion secures to the empire a twofold profit upon an indefinitely increasing com merce. The present relief afforded by judicious golcmisation is far greater than at first sight ma Appear. We have been led to reflect upon the nmuei by what has offered to cur own experience. Living in , a very narrow and sufficiently humble circle, we hav e seen within the last year or two, 14,m into the Ea s t India Company's army 10 or 12 Sung men, .of higher or )owe- Tank, of different 1~%~ "t/ lic s degrees of talent and education—some of noble families, some of families less exalted, some. from the Universities, some from schools, and all within our own acquaintance. What would have been the destiny of these young men, if the, Indian army, now almost the only resource, had not been open.to them ? Must they not have fallen back upon trades or: professions, already choked by competition—ren dering by so much worse the state and prospects of all already committed, to these trades and professions ? But call these 10 or 12, 10,000 or 12,000—and in the United Kingdom there must be more than twice that number of young men of respectable rank who would eagerly embrace opportunities like those which our young friends gratefully received as instances of good fortune, and surely you will do much to lighten the competition at home. Open your colonies however, and you will have even larger ;hafts than this upon your youth of all classes. The benefit of such colonisation to the colonies themselves, and through them to the empire at large, will be great beyond calculation. Hitherto our colonisation has proceeded upon a principle altogether erroneous; we sent out none but the criminal, and destitute, and ignorant ; this was to lay the founda tion, not of civilisation, but of immorality, ignor ance, and barbarism. A merely rude society— which has never been anything but rude —may, and often will refine itself, but the sifted offal of a country —the people whom you send abroad because they are intolerable at home—the' unhappy beings to whom your civilisation has taught, at least, the theory of vice, though circumstances, for which they envy and hate you, have forbidden them the full indulgence of its practice ; such offsets will only propagate the disgraceful and corrupt part of civilised so ciety, and to their children's children they will be queath an undying hatred of those their first insulting connection with whom must be a reproach for ever. Such, however, were the early British colonists, and lest their natural evil tendency should suffer any re straint, we sent them into the wilderness without any instruction. There were 80 Church of England clergy men among four millions of the Americans before the revolutionary war—that is, one to each of fifty thousand scattered through the desert. To what the colo nists grew in the course of a century we have painful knowledge; but to what else could they grow ? The history of the first settlers is known ; we left them as they wer?, and " like to like," says the proverb—the reinforcements that they received from England were like themselves, instead of that constant stream of affectionate British feeling with which it would be the wisdom of our country to supply . her colonies, the Ame rican colonies served as a sink to draw off whatever was worthless, disgraced, or discontented in the me tropolitan state; and we had our reward. A better system of colonisation seems to have arisen spon taneously in Upper Canada; the faithful few— the men of religion, loyalty, and honour driven from the southern provinces— the small hand of American loyalists, laid the foundation of the colony, and they invited to their society kindred spirits from England, from the north of Ireland, and from Scotland. These men saved the whole of the British dominions in North America in the late rebellion, and they show not only what class of colo nists ought to be selected, but also what is the value of such citizens. It is but to keep the channel of colo nisation to Canada, as well as to the other colonies, constantly open and constantly clear, and the British spirit, with the language and religion of Britain, will cover the earth "as the waters cover the sea." Nothing can be as absurd as jealousy in this matter; send out good men with good feelings towards the parent nation, and the same goodness and the same good feeling will be found at the end of centuries ; send out bad men and enemies, and their descendants to the remotest generation will be bad men and enemies. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY ENENING, JANUAR 3, is 44. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. I.—The Firebrand steam-frigate is to be commissioned immediately. She is likely to prove one of the fastest steamers in the service. During her passage from the River to this pert she beat the Cyclops three miles an hour. The Cyclops, however, had all her stores on board, and, con sequently had a deeper immersion in the water than the other, and her engines are only 320 horse power, whereas those of the Firebrand are of 430 hone power, although both vessels are of the same class. The first and one of the most im portant improvements in marine steam-engines was made by 'Messrs. Seaward and Co., in the intreduction of the Gorgon, or direct action engine, into the Cyclops, as that vessel has now engines of 320 horse power and 350 tons of coal in a space that was formerly occupied by engines of only 220 horse power and 250 tons of coal. In fitting the engines of the Firebrand they have effected a further improvement, by which she can carry engines of 430 horse power, and 450 tons of coal, in a space eighteen feet less than that original•.y required for engines of 220 horse power and 250 tons of coal. This is in consequence of the introduction of tubular boilers, which are not half the weight, and do not require half the space of the boilers upon the old plan, and therefore allow of a considerable reduction of the engine-room, with an additional quantity of fuel and an increase of power. Another important advantage gained by this improvement is in the reduction of the consumption of the fuel, as the Firebrand's engines require very little more than half per horse power than the smatter engines of 220 horse power in the Medea, Salamander, Phmnix, &c. When hese Tenets undergo a repair there will be no difficulty in the adap tation of the tubular boilers to the old engines, which the Ad miralty will, no doubt, cause to be done, for the experiment has already been made in the Prometheus, by which a space of nine feet has been added to her accommodation. The Vindictive, 50, Captain Toup Nicholas, is on her pas sage home to England, from the Pacific The Wanderer, 16, Commander G. H. Seymour; Pelican, 16, Commander Philip Justice; Nimrod, 20, Commander F. H. H. Glass ; Childers, 16, Commander George G. Wellesley ; and the Clio, 16, Com mander James Fitzjames. are on their passage home from the East Indies; and the Pantaloon, 10, Lieut.-Commander Chas. H. Lapidge, and Bonetta, 3, Lieut.-Commander E. E. Gray, from the coast of Africa. The la.t-named vessel has arrived. The completion of the magazines of a first-rate and 84 gun ship, according to the plan directed by the Lords of the Admi ralty, has been accomplished at this port, and the improvement bids fair to be one of the most perfect anti efficient that can be resorted to, and reflects great credit on Sir Thomas Hastings and the parties who have been carrying their Lordships' plan into effect. The subject is one of the deepest importance as regards the security of the lives of all on board, and the pre servation of the ship from the terrific effect that may be pro duced by the shells recently introduced into the service. It is now well known that powerful steamers like the Penelope, armed with the shot and shell guns, have the facility of taking any position they may deem expedient over sailing ships; hence the great importance of this improvement in the magazines, whieh are now so placed that the upper part or crown is about six feet under water, and protected at the sides by water and other means, that it aTounts almost to an impossibility that the explosion of a shell can affect the internal part of the magazine. . . • ' - The Hyacinth, 18, Commander Francis Scott, has arrived at Plymouth from the coast of Ireland. She is to have her masts reduced, and to receive an additional quantity of ballast, of which she has already received forty-five tons. Her lower meats are to be shortened four feet. It appears she is not able to carry her present sail, and that altogether she has too much top-hamper; although the Rover, is, recently paid off at Chat ham, also a corvette, had sufficient stability to carry, during the whole time she was in commission, similar masts and spars to those about te be reduced in the Hyacinth, and that; too, without any ballast. The Helena, 16, Commander Sir Cornwallis Ricketts, is still at Spit head, but will in all probability sail to-morrow or Wednesday. She is the sister ship to the Siren, 16, Com mander William Smith, now in the East Indies, of whose capabilities the most flattering accounts have repeatedly been received. Tlie Albion, 90, Captain N. Lockyer, will proceed in a few Ways from Plymouth to Cork, where she , will become the flag ship of Rear-Admiral Bowles. The Caledonia, 120, Captain Milne, will return to Plymouth on the arrival of the Albion at Cork. Ship at Spithead—The Helena. Ships in Harbour—The St. Vincent, Victoria, Excellent, Victoria and Albert ( Royal steam yacht), Penelope (steam frtate), Fearless and Echo (steamers), Satellite. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Gwirdian.) MANCHESTER.-There was .a good inquiry 'yesterday for nearly all descriptions of cloth, with a slight advance upon those descriptions which are in the most general request, and especially on shirting's. For yarn, ton, there was an im proved demand for the home trade, and an advance of id. to id. per lb. was obtained on some descriptions suitable for that purpose. On the 'whole, the new year opens un der farrourable auspices for spinners and rn , nufacturers, uoless their prospects should be blighted by a Teculative advance in the • ptice of the raw material at Liverpool ; of which there seems to be some danger, but for which, as it st ems to us, there is not the slightest grounds, The spinners, however, have the .retne4 in their own hand.. In case of an advance arising froni speculative purchases, all they have to do is to buy only for their immediate wants; when the pressure of the stock, and of the coming imports, will very soon restore the market to its proper and natural state. We may probably give some further observations on this subject in a future number. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, AIONDA ir, JAN. I. There has been a dull market to-thy, few buyers having attended, and the business transacted has been very limited. TEMPERANCE AMONG THE INDIANS.—There is no thing connected with the progress of civilisation among the western Indians more lamentable than the fact that wherever the whites have gone they have invariably introduced the use of intoxicating drinks among the savages, and thus effected a deeper and more permanent injury than they could have done in any other way. A great deal of this sin lies at the door of the detachments of the United States army which have been stationed along our extreme frontier ; and we are glad to see, by a letter from an officer in the in fantry at Fort Towson, Arkansas, published in a re cent number of the Black River Journal, that they have undertaken to remedy the evil so extensively done by the only means in their power, the promotion of temperance principles and the es!aldishment of tem perance societies among the Indians. A society was organised among the soldiers about a year ago which has weekly meetings, and numbers 150 members among the soldiers themselves. The members, officers, and all connected belong to the army, and courts mar tial and military offences have almost wholly disap peared. At a small village named Doatsville, about a mile from the garrison, a society has been organised among the Indians, of whom 400 or 500 have become members. The cause of temperance is said to be making very rapid progress among the Choctaws in that vicinity. New York Paper. FATAL RESULT OF NEGLECTING GAS-ESCAPE.- A family in South Paterson-street, Glasgow, consisting of mother and infant, with a grandmother, having gone to rest on Wednesday night, were not observed on the following day ; and from a strong smell of gas being felt, it was thought neces sery to open the door, when the infant was found dead, and the other individuals lying insensible in bed. The unfortunate oc currence was found to arise from a gas-pipe being accidentally fractured. The two survivors are slowly recovering.— Tyne Mercury. MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 2. IN RE EUaNIE MARGUERITE EMMA CAPE. This case has been already partly reported in The Sun. The insolvent, who was a young female of great personal attractions, was a Frenchwoman, and was one of the frail sisterhood. The body of her creditors, who were aware of this fact, opposed her discharge upon the grounds that she had received a great quantity of valua ble bUouterie as presents, which she had concealed. A great many witnesses, whose characters were of that nature which might be- expected from the career of the insolvent, were examined, but amongst them was Mrs. Jane Wynne, the lady whose name has already been so prominently before the public in connection with the ab duction of her daughter, Miss Caroline Wynne. She had been a prisoner in the Queen's Bench prison at the suit of an individual to who'll . she protested she never was indebted, and whilst she was confined she said that to her great annoyance the insolvent had been placed in her room for five weeks, and although she (Mrs. Wynne) was a prisoner for alleged debt, yet she thought there should have been observed in the prison a better classification with respect to character, so far as the per sons confined were concernal. Mrs. Wynne gave evi dence respecting the property possessed by the insolvent, from which it appeared that several articles had been given up to the messenger of the Court. Mr. WOODRUFFE, who appeared on behalf of the cre ditors, again resumed the argument that the insolvent had concealed propertj-. Mr. CooKE, on the part of the insolvent, addressed the Court, and strongly inveighed against the conduct of those persons who first gave her credit and then expected to receive payment for their good:—goods for which a profit of cent. tier cent. was charged—from the wages de rived by the truly melancholy course of life pursued by the insolvent. The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER pronounced an impressive judgment. In allusion to the career pursued by the frail girl, who appeared in this Court as an insol vent, he said, ". They laid down their souls at night to purchase the morning's bread," and persons like the op posing creditors, who knew such to be the case, and gave goods expecting payment from the proceeds of this course of life, should most certainly never meet with the protection from the Court which alone was intended for honest tradesmen. Still it was another question when the concealment of property was proved, and under all the circumstances of the case, ha should remand the in solvent for five months from the date of her vesting order under the discretionary clause. The insolvent was then removed from the Court, and taken back to prison to undergo the sentence of the Commissioner: CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the RiconnEa.) Sarah Phillips surrendered to answer an indictment preferred against her by Mr. Price, the barrister, charg ing her *ith having suborned one John Acton to commit wilful perjury. The jury being charged, and the defendant having pleaded not guilty, the prosecutor was called but did not answer. Mr. CHARNOCK, who appeared for the defendant, said that he trusted as the poor woman at the bar had been in Court waiting to take her trial for a considerable time, that no further delay would be allowed. The circum stances under which the indictment was preferred were these :—Tht defendant was a poor woman who got her living by washing and charing, and she had been em ployed by the prosecutor, Mr. Price, in those capacities, and he became indebted to her in the sum of fit odd. Being unable to obtain her money, she sued Mr. Price in the Palace Court, and in that action the prosecutor pleaded that he was never indebted, but after a full in quiry the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. A writ of execution issued, and Mr. Price was • taken upon that writ, as he was returning from this Court. Mr. Price then, upon the ground that he was privileged as a barrister in returning from the Court, was set at liberty, but was afterwards again taken, and he then set up the plea that the writ hail been satis- fied by his former arrest, but the Court decided against him, and he was committed to the Queen's Bench Prison, and eventually applied for relief under the Insolvent Debtors' Act. He was opposed by the present defendant, and in the result he was re manded for four months. After this Mr. Price ob tained a rule for a re-hearing of the application, and upon that occasion a person named Acton, who had been made acquainted with the circumstances through the medium of the newspapers, came forward voluntarily and confirmed by affidavit the evidence that had been pro duced in support of the plaintiff's case in the action, by stating that he had frequently seen Mrs. Phillips at the chambers of the defendant, and acting, not only as his charwoman, but as his clerk, and the Court refused a re hearing of the application, and Mr. Price was sent back to goal. The first thing he did when he obtained his liberty was to indict Acton for perjury, but the bill was ignored. He now, by the present indictment, sought to make out arrainst the poor woman at the bar that she had suborned the person referred to make this alleged'ialse affidavit. : _ • _ Mr. Price here entered the Court, having his wig and gown on, and The RECORDER asked him if he was ready to go on with the case? _ _ Mr. PRICE intimated that a witness, who was material to make out the case, was not at present in attendance. lie then explained that the witness referred to was Sir Alexander Morrison, whom he should call to prove that Acton was at present a lunatic in Bedlam. The RECORDER said he did not see how this evidence could apply to the present charge. Mr. PRICE observed that it would account for the in dictment being preferred against the present defendant instead of the principal. The COURT ruled that the trial should proceed, upon which Mr. Price requested an adjournment for a short period, which was allowed, and shortly afterwards he again entered the Court in his wig and gown. The RECORDER inquired of the Learned Counsel whether he intended to - give evidence in the case. Mr. PRICE intimated that he did not, but that he should conduct the prosecution as counsel. The RECORDER said that as he declined to be a wit ness in a case where his evidence was required in contra diction to the alleged perjury, and which must com prise facts mainly within his own knowledge, he must remind him that he would place himself in a position to have his conduct animadverted upon by the counsel for the prisoner under such circumstances. Mr. Pluck - said he was aware of that, but he felt that the case was one of such a complicated character that he must conduct it himself. The RECORDER said that if he conducted the case it must be upon the understanding that he should refrain from stating any facts to the ury within his own know ledge; or which he supposed to be within his own know ledge, but he put it to the Learned Counsel whether, as a matter of delicacy, it would not be better that he should not appear as counsel, when he was the prose cutor. Mr. PRICE still persisted in conducting his case, and the Court eventually ruled that he should not address the jury, but should confine himself to examining the witnesses. Mr. Richards, a clerk in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, then produced the schedule of Mr. Price, his petition, and the rule for a re-hearing of his application to be dis charged. The affidavit of Acton, in which he swore that he had seen Mrs. Phillips act in the capacity of laundress, and also as clerk to Mr. price, and upon which the allegations of perjury, and subornation of perjury, rested, was likewise put in. Witnesses were then called to disprove these allega tions, and some of the testimony adduced was of a very singular character. Walter Hovendon, a lad about seventeen, deposed that he had acted as clerk and messenger to the prosecutor, and attended at his chambers in those capacities. He remembered Mrs. Phillips coming to the chambers to inquire for Mr. Price, but he denied that he ever saw her engaged or employed by him, either as clerk or laundress, or in any other manner, during the time specified. In cross-examination, he said that he received no wages from Mr. Price, and he left his service because the chambers were in such a filthy condition. He also said that on Monday evening Mr. Price, the prosecutor, himself, a policeman named Rolla, and 'several other persons who were to be examined upon this indictment, were altogether at a public-house in Tower-street, and dined there, and Mr. Price smoked some cigars with them. Rolla, a police constable of the A division, was then called to prove that he succeeded the lad Hovenden as clerk to Mr. Price, and that during the time he officiated in that capacity Mrs. Phillips was not employed by Mr. Price. On being cross-examined, he said that he received no wages from Mr. Price, and he left his service to go into the police force. He at first denied that he had ever dined with the prosecutor, but afterwards admitted that he did have " a mutton-chop" with Mr. Price, at the public-house referred to. He also admitted that he had subpoenaed the witnesses for the prosecution. Mr. CHARNOCK asked him, whether he had not in point of fact, acted as the clerk of Mr. Price ; and whether he did not bring his bag down to 'the Court that morning ? The policeman admitted that he did carry Mr. Price's bag from the public-house to the Court, but he said he did not do so in the capacity of his clerk, but only because he requested him to carry the bag. A great many irrelevant facts were then brought forth, and the only evidence that appeared in support of the charge of subornation of perjury, was, that the per son referred to by the name of Acton, having sworn that Mrs. Phillips was a stranger to him, a witness was called who proved that she had called upon him twice, or some thing to that effect. Mr. PRICE having intimated that he had no more witnesses to call, The RECORDER expressed his opinion that there was no case to go to the jury. After some discussion, the Recorder put it to the jury whether they thought there was sufficient evidence for their consideration, or to warrant them in convictity , the defendant of so serious an offence as subornatio n of e perjury. The jury almost immediately expressed their opinion there was not, and at once returned a verdict of Not guilty. Mr. PRICE having made some remark, The RECORDER said that if the case had gone on he should have felt it his duty to remark upon the conduct of the prosecutor, a member of the bar, and a gentleman, sitting down in a public-house with a policeman and other persons, who were to be the witnesses in support of the indictment he had preferred, and he could not help feeling that such conduct was highly indecorous. Mr. PRICE said some of the witnesses were very poor, and came from a considerable distance, and he was bound to see that they were provided for. The RECORDER said that there was no objection to his providing them with what they required ; but a person in the station of a barrister ought not to have associated with them in a public-house. Mr..PRICE then gave an intimation that he intended to prefer other indictments for perjury, arising out of the same transaction. The RECORDER observed that, hearing the Learee Gentleman express his intention to prefer other indict ments' looking at all the c ir cumstances and the facts that had been produced as evidence, he called upon him to reflect seriously before he decided upon adopting such a Course. There seemed to be a very general feeling of commise ration for the poor woman who had been dragged be:ere the Court upon so serious a charge, under such circum stances, among the audience , and when the verdict was returned there was a manifestation of applause, which was, however, speedily checked. The members of the bar made a subscription on her behalf, and several pounds were handed over to her from them. fVE S 7 ERN CIIICUIT. The Special Commission for the trial of prisoners in the WINTER ASSIZES. county of Hants having concluded, it may be proper, in order to show the utility, or rather necessity, of a winter circuit, to give the result of the business ix that county during the last week. There were 59 prisoners, 22 of whom were assize pri soners, 16 were equated, 6 pleaded guilty. The follow ing sentences were passed :-1 transporassi or 21 years, 2 for 15 years, and 5 for 10 years ; 1 imprisoned for 2 years, 5 for 1 year, 1 for 9 months, I for 8 m on th s , 4 f or 6 months, 1 for 4 months, 5 for 3 months, and the others for shorter periods. Would not the very variation in the sentences prove that a winter circuit was necessary ? It is a great maxim of our law that every one should be con sidered i nn o cen t until he be pronounced guilty by a jury. Is not this an argument for a speedy trial ? An observer must have felt this maxim to be Ogreat truth when every morning last week at Winchester he might' have seas some of his own species marched through the town handcuffed two and two, and attached to a lone chain, which reached from front to back of the cavalcade ; but if the observer would go into the court, he would see this glorious maxim still further carried nut, by a prisons. (of course, by law innocent) being placed at an iron liar, and compelled to stand during the whale of a protracted Why not, as a matter of (Sparse, allow the innocent man a seat? This was much harder formerly than it is at the pre tent day, because a prisoner used to be called upon to address the jury in his own defence, and a looker-on has often seen a prisoner required to make his defence after he had been on his legs from 10 to 14 hours, and this, perhaps, after an in carceration upon prison diet of seven or eight months. Th• mental vigour would hardly be improved by great bodily ex haustion. At all eventsoma do not act_ upon the great maxim of our law. Unless complaints are made, and abuses notice l, they will never be corrected. It may therefore be well to mention another circumstance which might he altered. •l'hen a prisoner is arraigned he is told with what the indictment charges him, and to this is added, " and the indictment states that you have been ..;fore convicted of a felony." Now should not this last sentence be omitted until after the second conviction? It must have its effect upon the jury; and it really does not follow, that because a man has bees before convicted, h e s h ould be guilty of the second offesce. There is an old adage, " Gi ve a do the man having on ce h ad a bad chag a bad name," &c. racter, i 3 sure to Le tine mad party sought for i n case of any offence being com m itted in his neighbourhood ; an d if he is tried upon circumstantial evidence alone, the former conviction being thrown into the scale, makes up the case, and he is convicted. As a good character creates a doubt, and leads to an acquittal, 83 does a first conviction remove a. doubt, an d cause a verdiee of guilty to be returned. E very one who has the good or bad fortune to have any khewledge of our law is aware that there are innumerable legal fictions. One of these is, that an assize is considered to last but a day, and the conse quence is, that if a assize, he is detained in gao l until the bus i ness of the assize is priso ner i s acquitted on t h e first day of an concluded, even though that should last for fifteen days: Some persons have imagined that this was contrary to our law, and that the moment a jury had d ec l are d a man to be innocent of indicted, the prison doors should be thrown open to him, an d he shou ld, o f right, be set at liberty. Such, good read er , i s the theory o f our law, b net the crime for which he wa s the practice ; that law which i s to ru l e a nd guide all persons, defects. The law tells an i n di v i dual h e s hall not improperly and without just cause imp r i son another , while at the same and by which all persons ar e b ound, i s f u ll of absurdities and time that very law commits that injury itself. It has often been remarked that a gaol contaminates all within its walls, and yet, after an acquittal, ar i d an a pplication to a Judge to give an order for the relea se o f the i n di v idual, that learned person has answered—" No, I t hi n k not ; he had a lucky es cape, and a few days' more imprisonment will do him no harm."

His Lordship,ad verte d to the nature o f t h e C omm i s - eion, and the heavy state o f t h e calendar , an d d we lt w ith much emphasis upon the frightful increase of those cam in which prisoners were charge t with cutting and maiming. The use of the knife could not be too strongly discouraged. His Lord ship observed, that it was unnecessary to trouble the Grand Jury with a recital of the several crimes which were set out in the calendar ; he would, therefore, only briefly allude to the cases in which some importance was indicated. There was one of a charge of manslaughter by persons calling themselves l‘lormonites, a sect of persons with whose tenets he was en tirely unacquai- ted, but he had been informed it was something in connexion with immersing a female iu water in some bap tismal ceremony. There were many charges, also, of bigamy —a crime very frequently committed from a prevalent error, that there was no responsibility when the husband and wife had been separated for more than seven years. He would not longer detain them. The following is the list of charges which will be tried under this commission : —1 for arson, 1 assault with intent to rob, 12 burglary, 5 bigamy, 1 cattle-stealing, 4 cutting and maiming, I embezzlement, I forgery, 1 horse stealing, 2 housebreaking, 12 manslaughter, 3 murder, I poaching, 2 rape, 1 sacrilege, 1 unnatural crime, 3 various other felonies, and 5 whose names are not down in the calendar. The cases tried during the day possessed no public interest. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Stafford, Jan. 1. ( Before Mr. Baron ROLFE. ) George Mid ieton, George Wilkinson, and George Wilcox, were charged with highway robbery, with violence, upon the person of Ralph Leragg. Mr. Yardley conducted the case for the prosecution ' • Mr. Allen defended George Middleton ; the other prisoners had no couniel. It appeared from the evidence, that on the night in question, the prosecutor was returning from a house in the neighbour hood to Shelton, in the Potteries, linked to the arm of a friend, a caution his eopieus potations had rendered somewhat neces sary, when he was attacked by four men, who wrenched from him a stick he was carrying, knocked him down, and struck him upon the head until he was insensible, and then rifled his pockets. ' On the return o f his friend with assistance, the men made off, but the three prisoners were subsequently captured, and identified by the prosecutor and other witnesses. For the defence, it was contended that, although a most aggravated and unjustifiable assault had doubtless been com mitted, still there was no evidence to prove that the prisoners had actually robbed the prosecutor, but that, in consequence of his intoxicated state at the time, he in all probability lost the money he alleged_ t• have been stolen. The Learn; 1 Jonas having summed up, The jury took the view of the case suggested by the counsel for the defence, and found the prisoners Guilty of the assault only.—They wore sentenced to one years' imprisonment. Edwin Picken, an intelligent lad of 17, was charged with setting fire to a stack of hay and a stack of clover, the property of Henry Southwick, a respectable farmer residing at Brewood, in this county. Mr. Allen conducted the case on the part of the Crown ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Yardley. The prosecutor, it appeared, had declined to receive the pri soner into his service, which refusal engendered, on the part of the latter, a degree of malignity that, after manifesting itself by a series of petty annoyances inflicted on the pro secutor, at length instigated him to perpetrate the offence of which he now stood accused. It was proved that several days previous to the one on which the stacks were fired the pri soner had purchased a box of lucifer matches ; that he was seen in the immediate neighbourhood of the rickyard but a very short time before the alarm was given, and that he alone of all the neighbours, not only abstained from offering any as sistance, but was not even present during the efforts that were made to extinguish the flames. It was further proved by a comrade of the prisoner, that, in a conversation they had re specting the fire, the prisoner observed, that at length he" had served the old devil set," and several other witnesses gave such an account of various sayings and doings of the prisoner • with reference to the fire as were utterly inconsistent with his in nocence. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of his youth. The Learned BARON, after commenting in very severe terms on the heinousness of the offence, and the deliberation and vin dictive feeling which had marked its perpetration, sentenced the prisoner to be transported for 10 years. There are several eases that yet remain to be tried, and it is uncertain when the assize will terminate. SOUTH W ALE S.—Cannarthen, Dec. 31. THY REBECCA RIOTS: The judge (M r. Justice Cresswell) entered the Court at nine o'clock on Saturday. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL announced, that after the deci sion in the Dolanhirion case, he should enter a nolle prosequi en the charge of felony against Thomas Hughes, John Jones, and Benjamin Jones, for the offence at Pontarlliche, and re move the minor charge by certiorari to the next assizes. If anything further should be done in the Dolanhirion case, the evidence would be best tested by proceedings in the Court of Queen's Bench. EXTRAORDINARY CA SE.—David Evans, a farmer, and James Evans, his servant, were then charged with having,.on the 30th of September, with others, riotously and unlaw fully assembled at Pantycerrig, in the parish of Llanfihangel Rhosycorn. Both prisoners pleaded not guilty. They were defended by Messrs. N. Came and E. C. H. Hall. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose on behalf of the prosecu tion, and said, that the prisoners were indicted for a misde meanour and riot. The substantial charge was, that on the night of the 30th of September they, with others, demanded a sum of money from Thomas Thomas, of Pantycerrig, a farmer. He then proceeded to detail the facts, which will be found in the depositions and evidence. The object of the parties ap peared to have been not to remove any public grievance, real or imaginary, but to make the agitated state of the country subservient to their private purposes, and obtain a settlement of a claim or debt. Since the occurrences for which the pri soners were now arraigned, Mr. Thomas had been found dead. He did not, however, mean to hint that they were implicated thereby. The character of the county had been satisfactorily vindicated by a careful inquiry, which had given every ream for belief that Mr. Thomas's death had been the result of an accident. The Attorney-General then read the deposition of Thomas Thomas, as follows :—" I live at Pantycerrig, in the parish of Llanfihangel Rhosycorn. lam a farmer. I remem ber, early on Saturday morning, the 30th of September, at about one or two o'clock, a number of people, about fifteen or twenty, came in disguise to my house, and called on me to come out with 5/. They said they came on behalf of David 'Evans, of Bergwm, to demand the 51. in satisfaction for a trespass upon his corn by my cattle. I did not go down to the door, but my wife did. In consequence of the door not being opened imme diately, I suppose they reduced the demand to 40s. I went out of the house among the crowd and was taken by the collar by a tall man in disguise, with his face blackened. He called himself 'liecca.' I was dragged against my will to Bergwm, a dis tance of about three quarters of a mile. It is the house of the prisoner David Evans. They all acted in concert. Some had guns, and others horns. I recognised James Evans ; he be haved the worst to me, and shuffled me. I also rec ogn i se d David Evans. James had; a short old gun, and was disguised by having his face blackened. His clothes were not changed. David Evans was not so much disguised ; I knew him very well. They took me to a field near Bergwm, where we were desired to stop, while some went on, so as not to alarm the family. I saw David Evans go en first, and go into the house. They then took me into the yard, and afterwards into the house. I saw David Evans, anti told him that I had made up with him for ten shillings for the damage done to his corn. He said, The matter is now in these people's hands, and I cannot interfere.' They further demanded money of me, but I said that I had none. I then asked David Evans to allow me to stop in his house, as I was afraid to go out. James Evans seized me, and dragged me out of the house, in a different direction from my own house. He said he wished to kill me. 'Becca called out to him, Why, he took me in that direc tion ?"Becca and the party they. took me along the turnpike roast to my own home. They called to my wife, and told her they had brought mo back as they promised. They then gave me nine days to pay the money in, and said, that if I did not pay it by that time, they would come again, and would kill and burn." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL concluded his address by al luding to the recent Government prosecutions, and said, that the object had not been so much the punishment of every individual who took part in the disturbances, or were con cerned in the outrages, as to restore the authority of the law, to give confidence to those who were willing to obey it, and protection to those who were willing to assist in its just ad ministration. Ebert Bray—l am a policeman of the A division of the metropolitan police. I Itt.ew the late Mr. Thomas Thomas, of Pantycerrig. He is dead. I saw his body the morning it was found in the river. George Spurreit—l am clerk to the magistrates at Car marthen. I took down the examination of Sir. Thomas. He was examined in the presence of the two prisoners. I saw him sign it. ll* was sworn. He was examined in Welsh, but understood suffielent En fish to make any correction required. Ho told his own story first. Mr. Price, the Magistrate, in terpreted it. He was not sworn as an interpreter. I took down the English as Mr. Price interpreted. I understood sufficient Welsh myself to interpret. Mr. Price put the whole of his story into Engli-h, omitting no part of it. Mr. John Lloyd Price—l am a magistrate fur this county. I took the depositions of Mr. Thomas Thomas. He was exa mined in Welsh. He understood English. He co , rected two or three words when it was read over to him. I took an examination previous to this, with a view to issue the war rants.. I went to Bergwm. In consequence of the apprehen sion of these two men the houses of Sir. Thomas were burnt down. Thomas Powell and Rosa Thomas went with me to Bergwm. We could get no assistance from the parish con stables. Robert Bray was also there. We found David Evans, the prisoner, at home. He was in bed. I went from home about four o'clock in the morning. I reached liergwm about six. David Evans, when he had been apprehended, and as he was dressing, said, " I know clothing of the servant, James Evans. I quarreled with him a few days ago. He wanted to go to Breckfa fair. I was against his going, and I have not seen him since." I had previously desired the police to search the outhouses. They came in, and had found no one. I suspected something woo wrong, and asked David Evans again. He made the same statement. I sent the police out again, and I saw them tumble him out of the loft. I did not see him found. As far as I can remember the examination took place the same day. I remember in the course of the exami.. nation, when Thomas was stating about the 405., David Evans said, " We agreed before we left the turnpike-road to take 11." The deposition was then put in and read. Thomas Evans—l am a mason. I live with my father at Pynyffordd. That is about halt a mile from Pantycerrig, and a mile from Bergwia. I recollect Saturday, the 30th of September. I was disturbed between 12 and 1 o'clock on that morning. I was in bed at the time. I got up and went to the window. I saw a good many people out. I don't know how many, it was too dark for me to see. I saw more than three. Idi i net see them all. I heard a great noise. The next thing I heard was a man calling out, " I warn you not to go to the farm you have taken ; if you do we will burn your hay and corn, as we have done to your neighbours." Sly father had just taken a fares. The voice was that of James Evans, the prisoner. I did not see him, but lam well ac quainted with his voice. I sing in the same singing-school with him. They fired guns as they went away. After they were gone I got up and went out of the house. I went to wards Pantycerrig. I went into a field and saw a crowd pass by on the other side of the hedge. They were going towards Pantycerrig, an were within two fields of it. They blew horns and were armed with guns. They fired guns frequently, and from their light I saw something white about the dresses of the men. They were about 20. About 9 o'clock in the morning I went to Bergwm. The people there were all in bed. I knocked at the door and was let in by the girl. A short time after David Evans came down stairs. He was dressed. A gun was on the table in the kitchen. I said, " think here is one of Becca's guns." David Evans said he thought it was. He appeared surprised at my remark. I then requested David Evans to come out with me. When he came out I told him that the servant that was at his house had warned my father not to take the farm. He said that he had not, for he had been in beef all night. David Evans then went into the farm. I went with him. David Evans told James Evans what I had said. James Evans came and raised his fist in my face, saying, " You devil, to tell that of me." David Evans then came forward and put his hand upon him, and told him to be quiet. I then went down to Pantycerrig. The next day I saw James Evans. lie asked me why I had told Thomas Thomas that he had confessed to me. I said I had not. James said a servant at Pantycerrig had told him so, and added, "If I had a chance I would put you quiet enough for saying so." I answered, " I don't know whether you will have an opportunity or not." He then replied, "If you tran sport me for seven years I'll give you a coat when I come back," Mr. N. CARNE addressed the jery for the prisoners, and called John Evans, a boy, brother of the defendant David Evans, who swore that his brother and James Evans were in bed with him when "Becca" came to their hou_e with Mr. Thomas. After a long cross-examination by the Attorney- General. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL put in an affidavit of the witness, that was sworn to by him for the purpose of obtaining bail for his brother. This affidavit, when read, was diametrically op posite to the boy's evidence in several most important par. titulars. The sister, Catherine Evans, was then called. She was examined to the same facts, and, on her affidavit being pro duced, the same contradictions appeared. The counsel for the defendants then threw up their briefs, and stated their conviction that perjury had been used. The prisoners were told the situation in which they stood, and were asked if they wished to examine any more witnesses? They replied in the negative. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied briefly, and the Learned Judge having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of Guilty.—Sentence deferred. The grand jury were then discharged, his Lordship express ing a hope that it would be long before they would be called together on a similar occasion. Philip Phi Lip, William Phillip, and William Harries, were charged with a riot and assault at Pound, in the parish of Llangunnor. The prisoner Philip Phillip was in a ♦ery weak state, having met with a severe accident. He remained seated during the trial. John Evans—ln the month of October I was employed to make distress on the goods of William Phillip. I met Philip Phillip the day previous, and told him that I was coming over to distrain. He said, " You had better not, for the mother and her children will be there to meet you." On the following morning I went to Pound with John Lewis. We met Philip Phillip. Phillip said, " You're come." I sa id . " Y es , I have." He said, " You had better go back, as Mr. Wilson has made a mistake in the account, and in next term we will see whether the award is right er wrong." I said I did not consider that the award had anything to do with the distress, as that had been a matter of dispute a few months previous, and that the son could do as he did with the Marcia rent, he could replevin. The elder Phillip said, I had better go back, and not go on. We then went into Mr. Llewhllyn's, at Nanty caws. Philip Phillip went with us. Mr. Llewellyn had been in company with Phillip when we met him. We all sat down, and Mr. Llewellyn said that he was of the same opinion as myself. We then went to Pound. We saw the son, William Phillip. The father pointed him out to us. The son said, " What the devil do you come here for, to ruin me ?" He said this in a loud tone of voice. A gun was then fired. It was fired a little distance. Two or three shots were fired in succession. A number of men sallied forth ; some from a field, some from the garden, and others from the haggard. They were all disguised. There were about 20 or 25. Lewis and I turned to run away; they pursued us, and brought us back. One of them struck at me. It was a tall man. He struck at me with a large bludgeon. I warded the blow off with my arm. He collared me with his left hand. He demanded the writs. He spoke in English. He had on a bonnet and a kind of goat's beard. He had a kind of handkerchief over his face. They compelled me to go back. About six or ten of them compelled me to go back. When we got back to Pound there were about lb round us in the yard. There were three or four who had guns. I saw Lewis as we were being taken back. He was bleeding from the head. His breast was covered with blood. They were all disguised, ex cept Philip Phillip and his son. Some had blackened their faces, others wore handkerchiefs. I was desired to pull off my clothes and walk naked back to town. The tall man told me this. I was then taken back to the house. I was desired to go on my knees. Philip Phillip was sitting in a chair by the fire. I went on my knees. The tall man ordered a Bible to be brought. Before he ordered the Bible he ordered me to burn my papers, which I did. Philip Phillip said in Welsh, " There was another paper." I produced it, and that was burnt. It was my authority to distrain. The Bible was then produced. The tall man handed the Bible to my hand. The cover was loose. He said the words I was to swear, that I would not come there again to distrain, "So help me God." He told me to kiss the book, and I did so. At that time there were 18 or 19 round me. The room was crowded. When the tall man made me swear, he held his stick up in a threatening position. Philip Phillip said that John Lewis was willing to go back on his first request, but the:fault was upon me, as I was a relation of Mrs. Elinor Evans. By the COURT—I do not know who'_the tall man was. I had no opportunity of identifying him. The evidence of the last witness was corroborated by John Lewis, a bailiff, who accompanied him. On cross-examination by Mr. HALL, the witness stated that he was not mistaken in the identity of Harries, because the disguise came loose, and he saw his face and knew it well. Harries had on a mantle and bonnet, and hankerchief over his head and face. • James Harries—T remember going to Merthyr one Tuesday morning. Saw John Evans running from Pound to Carmar then. Some people followed him. They were disguised, with the exception of Philip Phillip, and armed with sticks and guns ; there were from 15 to 20. They called out, " Catch him." John Lewis was in the middle ut them, and was bloody. They took both Evans and Lewis back to Pound again. Mr. HALL, for the prisoner Harries, called several witnesses to prove that he could not possibly have been at Pound at the time mentioned by the witnesses for the prosecution. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied, and His Loansnir summed up at very great length. The jury, after deliberati4 for so - me time, returned a verdict of Guilty against Philip Phillip and William Phillip, but Ac quitted William Harries.— Sentence deferred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Bates, an artist of (it was said) considerable talents, was brought before the Lord Mayor and Alder man Humphery from the Giltspur - -street Compter, in which prison he has been confined six months, in conse quence of having used threats against Mr. John Master man, M.P., from which threats, and the general conduct of the defendant, danger was apprehended by Mr. Mas terman as likely to ensue. Mr. Wooler, who attended on the part of the defen dant, submitted to the Bench that his client had been six months ago charged with having used threats towards Mr. Masterman, and ordered to find bail in two sureties of 100/. each, and to be bound himself in the sum of 2001. to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for the space of two years. Now he had to assure the Bench that Mr. Bates entertained no whatever against the Hon. Gentleman whom he was accused of having threatened, and whom he would in no way annoy, or give offence to, under any circumstances. The present application was for permission to Mr. Bates to put in bail to the amount of 50/. instead of the heavy sureties required, and which could not be procured. It appeared from what was stated by Mr. Wooler, as well as from the representatiOn of Alderman Hum phery, and particularly from what fell from the defendant himself, that a very remarkable delusion had marked the case all through. Some years ago the defendant tried his fortune in railroad shares, when opulence was expected to start out of every scheme. lie purchased some shares in the Northern and Eastern Railway Company, of which Mr. Masterman was a Director. The project, it appeared, was not successful, and Mr. Bates was a loser as a matter of course. As, however, he had embarked all the money he possessed in the speculation, the loss was very serious to him, and he took it into his head that the Directors were not only bound to make good to him the whole amount of injury he sustained, but actually to supply him with the means of present and future support. A Mr. Bagshaw, one of the Directors, was the first from whom Mr. Bates demanded pecuniary reparation, and the case came on at the time, before the authorities, in due form ; subsequently having experienced great kindness and liberality from Mr. Masterman's tamily, who commisserated him, lie fancied that his benefactors were merely performing a duty which was to have no end, and after he had exhausted their patience he commenced a system of written and verbal threats, for the put pose or compelling them to administer to his necessities. At length it became necessary for Mr. Masterman to adopt the appeal to the City Magistrates. Alderman Humpliery's statement, which was to the above effect, was uncontradicted in its main points by the defendant, who, instead of leaving the matter in the hands of his legal adviser, proceeded to explain, and confirmed the Magistrates in their opinion, that they ought rather to allow the application to be made to the Quarter Sessions on Saturday next, than to decide upon its merits themselves. Tile defendant admitted that he had received very large stuns of money from Mr. igasterman, but it was quite evident that the more he received the more he expected to receive, and when questioned by the Lord Mayor, who charged him with having endeavoured to establish a livelihood for himself by intimidation, he de clared that he wanted no money, that he merely wanted to try whether he had any legal claims upon Mr. Mas terman, as he had been given to unders•tatid he had by an intimate friend of the Duke of Wellington, and the late • Duke of York, and afterwiirds, should his legal claims prove to be ima,ginary, whether he had any moral claim. lie then ascended high into the regions of fancy. He was finally remanded with the intimation that his appeal must be made to the Bench of Aldermen at the Quarter Sessions, on Saturday, where, if articles of the pc , • - should not be exhibited a gai ns t hi m , h e wou ld b e ice discharged from custody altogether. GUILDHALL. MASQUERADING.—A stout young fellow, whose whim it was to be nameless f o r th e p resen t, was introduced to Mr. Alderman Gibbs, habited in smockfrock, corduroys, and hobnailed high-lows, and to all appearance as un likely a subject for masquerading in petticoats as Fat Jack, in the " Merry Wives of Windsor." City policeman 322 stated that late on Monday even in.. he observed a lady perambulating Chatham-place, Brackfriars, and " carrying herself" in such an extra ordinary manner as to create in him serious suspicions, lie accordingly watched her motions, and perceiving her at last suddenly slip down the bridge-stairs he con cluded that she was mad, and was about to seek the cold water cure for her complaint in the Thames. He ac cordingly hurried to .. the stairs to prevent such a catas trophe, but what was his surprise, on 'arriving there, to find that the lady had vanished, and the rustic youth at the bar substituted in her place. The mys tery, however, was soon explained on examining a basket which the prisoner carried in his hand. He had disrobed himself of his feminine apparel on the stairs, as rapidly as erst Mathews in a monopoly logue, and in the basket were found the identical gown, shawl, bonnet, and boa, which had attracted the wit ness's notice in Chatham-place. On being asked what he was about, the prisoner assumed a new character— namely, that of a deaf and dumb ploughboy —and he sustained it all night at the station-house with imposing effect, until at last, his articulation- returning with his appetite, he undeceived the inspector and his men, by demanding, more audibly than was necessary, " When ihe devil they were going to bring him his breakfast ?" . The ALDERMAN asked the prisoner who he was and what he had to say for himself ; but he was again as deaf and dumb as a woolpack, and the Alderman or dered him to solitary confinement in the Cornpter until he should be in the humour once more to recover his speech. CHARITABLE DONATIONS.—The ALDERMAN requested to acknowledge the reevipt of a donation of la to the poor- box, from the Goldsmith's Company ; of a similar donation from the Grocers' Company, and of 4s, from another source. WORSHIP-STREET. John Davis, alias Blythe, and Henry Robinson, two men of notorious character, were charged before Mr. BINGHAM ) with having burglariously entered the ware house of Messrs. Reilly and Storer, silversmiths, &e., in Carey-lane, Gutter-lane, Cheapside, and stolen there from a large quantity of plate and other property of the Value of 2501. The prisoners were further charged with having been concerned in the commission of all extensive burglary, at the premises of Messrs. Leaf and Co., of Old 'Change ; and also with having being im plicated in several other robberies. - The Court was crowded during the investigation, which attracted an unusual degree of interest, in con sequence of the extent, and dal ing nature of the depre dations, the successful perpetration of which had led to the suspension from their duties of several City policemen. Mr. George Storer, of the firm of Reilly and Company, stated that their warehouse was broken open during the night of Dec. 12, and a large quantity of communion plate, together with several massive silver snuff=boxes, were abstracted from it. The thieves effected an en trance by breaking through the skylight window in the roof of the warehouse. lie identified three silver snuff boxes now produced as part of the stolen property. Thomas Durant, shopman to Mr. Sowerby, a pawn broker in Chiswell-street, produced one of the boxes, and identified the prisoner Davis as having offered it ►n pledge on the evening of Saturday se'nnight. .He had previously seen a placard containing an, account of the robbery, and offering a reward of 501., for its detection, and as the box presented by the prisooer corresponded with the description of those stolen he gave him into custody. Mr. James Leach, pawnbroker, 156, Hoxton Old Town, produced another silver snuff-box, which he identified the prisoner Robinson as having pledged for 21., on the 12th ult. . Mr. Pierce, the superintendent of the detective police, stated that the prisoners had lodged together at the house of a widow named Smith, in Lloyd's-row, Clerken well, and on searching their apartment, he had found carpet-bag, containing 22 skeleton-keys, and also an im plement of a very novel and ingenious construction, for cutting out the panels of doors and shutters, which it watt calculated to effect with remarkable ease and celerity. He also found a great number of duplicates, relating to property connected with other robberies. - Mr. fiINGHAM said that as the evidence in the present charge was complete, he should commit the prisoners at at once upon it. The case preferred by Messrs. Leaf, Smith, and Co., of Old 'Change, was then gone into. Mr. Michael Brankston stated that he was in the em ploy of Messrs. Leaf and Co., whose warehouse v , e 5 forcibly entered through a skylight in the roof on the night of the 6th ult. An immense quantity of property was stolen, amongst which were eighty pieces of ribbon and three pieces of black satin of French manufacture. A reward of 2001. had been offered for the apprehension of the robbers. f After other witnesses had been examined, Super' • intendent Price said both the prisoners had been con victed of felony, and he mentioned as a remarkable cir cumstance that Robinson, in the year 1838, carried on business as a warehouseman next door to Messrs. Reillf, the prosecutors in the first case. He requested that the prisoners might be remanded to enable him to bring for ward further evidence in support of the last charge, and also to establish further cases against them. The prisoners were accordingly remanded for a fortnight. UNION-HALL. Yesterday the drivers of Ball's Brixton omnibus, and Sprat. ley's Vauxhall omnibus, were summoned, at the instance Of the proprietor of the former vehicle, for furious driving, and endangering the lives of the passengers. Mr. Balls, addressing the Magistrate, said he brought for ward the present charge more with the view of protecting the public against accidents from furious driving than to punish . the drivers for the damage owe of his vehicles had sustained from the violent collision that had taken place on the occasion. It was then given in evidence that on Wednesday evening last the two omnibuses in question met together nest . 1 the Rockingham Arms, at the corner of the New Kent' road, on their way to the City. The vehicles, which bad been standing adjacent to the above spot, started off tor' ther, and in their eagerness to see which would first get through the Newington turnpike, they came up abreast of each other, and at the moment they we Fussing the gate' a most vio'ent collision took place, by which, as one of tb• witnesses (the toll-collector) described it, it was only astonish• ing that both ‘ehicles were not smashed. As it was, the driver, of one of the vehicles wa s th rown o ff hi s seat i nto t h e roa d , a n d also an outside passenger, but neither sustained much injury. The driver of the other omnibus did not even pull up, or stay a moment to inquire the extent of the damage caused by sueD reckless conduct, but drove on towards the City. Mr. TAAILL took great pains in ascertaining which of fie defendants was most blameable on the occasion, but after the examination of the witnesses on each side he came to the con elusion that the conduct of both was equally reprehensible. The Magistrate added, that he considered it as an instance of such gross misconduct on the part of the defendants, that it was a proper case to send to the sessions. It was however intimated that the driver of Spratley's om nibuswas to be discharged from his situation, and, as an ar peal was made to the Magistrate not to send the case for trial, he at length consented to impose penalties of 40s. each on the defendants, adjudging, at the same time, th e d r i ver o f S pr at' ley's omnibus to pay half the damage sustained by the vehicle. INTERESTING TO MARINERS.—Through the inter cession of the Hon. Grantley Berkeley, M.P., with the Trinity Board, the dangerous reef of rocks in Christ church Bay, on the Hampshire coast, has just been properly buoyed. The rocks are known as the Christ church Ledge, and have long been dreaded as very perilous to navigation. THE TOBACCO TRADE.—From the result of the interviews had by deputations of the tobacco trade with the Chancellor of the Exchequer; it is inferred that he, reduction of duty is con t em pl ate d, b ut t h at there w ill be an alteration in the Excise-law affecting the article. This will be news for many in the trade. Mr. George Hope, M.P., arrived in town yesterday from Ditton-park, the seat of Lord Montagu. Iwo TEAS AT WHOLESALE PRICES- Good Common Black 3s. Od.
