G ENTLEMEN—As it is but just that you should be furnished with a printed record of my opinions on points which are of importance to you, I take the liberty of effecting it through the means of an Address. On the question of the CORN LAWS, I have for many years done my utmost to impress upon all who are in any way concerns nin manufactures or commerce, that the restriction on the exchange of your manufactures for food, operates precisely in the same way as would the building of a wall round your town, for the purpose of obliging you to give two yards of cloth instead of one for a peck of corn, to the owners of such patches ;', f , ground as w ere capa bl e o f grow i ng corn within the inclosure. The owners of the land say to you, " Give us two shillings for fin ee k of corn inste a d of on e, and then we will spend two shil .es upon you i nstead of one, and b uy two yar d s o f c l o th o f you instead of one." Is this anything but saying, " You shall give us two yards of cloth for a peck of corn instead of one." I should have thought any man who can keep his fingers out of the wheel s o f a machine, could have seen into this. G -eat numbers of you do see into it. And why is your seeing of no avail? Because the numerous classes are almost entirely cut off from any share in making the laws by which their condition is to be determined. In a market, the poor man is at liberty to exert the influence of his small property, and the rich man of his great. Just so would it be if all men were admitted equally into the great market of legislation ;—which is UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE. When the richer classes consult their own comfort, they in variably vote by Ballot. An officer sitting on a court-martial is directed by law to take an oath that he will not reveal the vote or opinion of any member of the court ; and a medical officer on a board of medical inquiry, is directed to make a declaration in still stronger terms, that he will not disclose his own vote or that of any other member. And what is the reason ? It is because the law considers the vote of the officer as a trust, -and therefore gives him the Ballot or what comes to the same thing, as the means of enabling him to exercise his trust with out danger. The law assumes, that he is more likely to exer cise his trust faithfully without intimidation than w ith. Lord John Russell says h e w ill not g i ve the Ballot to the people, be cause voting is a trust. So much for THE BALLOT. The lengthened duration of Parliaments is nothing but an invention to give the people the short end of the lever. There is to be a stir and hubbub once in seven years, and the man who wins is to set you at defiance till the end of that term, like the men who of old were supposed to sell themselves to the evil spirit. What would you think of anybody who proposed to . you to settle your accounts every seventh Christmas ; or every third either ? This, therefore, points all reasonable people to ANNUAL PARLIAMENTS. If there was a Jury of which the members had all taken an oath that they had a pecuniary interest in the case of one class of disputants that were to come before them, what would be the opinion of society at large on such a fact? Yet every Mem ber of the House of Commons takes an oath, that he has a pecuniary interest in everything that favours the rich against the poor. There is no use in Hon. Gentlemen pretending to bounce at the assertion ; for the visible practical consequence before our eyes is, that the poor man's shilling's-worth of to bacco pays eleven times as much duty as the rich. When there was some talk of a Property Tax, where the man of ten thou sand a-year should pay a slightly higher per-centage than the man of two hundred, the rich set up the cry of " Confiscation." But t o p a y eleven times ;—" think of that when you smoke tobac co !" Does this point or not, to the propriety of abolish ing the PROPERTY QUALIFICATION for Members of Parliament ? When numbers of men spend huge sums to get into a certain position, it is a reasonable inference that if they do not take it out in meal they take it in malt. Not only is a poor wise man kept out of Parliament by a Property Qualification, but it is by all sorts of other inventions made impossible for any man to enter the House of Commons without prodigious ex pense. The evils arising will never be remedied, till you can send men into that House who shall not only be poor if you like it, but shall be paid by you to do your work. No master trades man would employ an overseer, who said he would work for nothing because he should be " aye picking up something About the decks." Just so there will be no good representation in the House of Commons, till you come to the PAYMENT OP MEMBERS. The laying a finger on the ancient prevision for the poor, while the Corn-laws are continued which prevent the indus trious poor from obtaining their own bread, is such a manifest outrage on all justice and policy, that it is only miraculous where theme n can b e found who will go on not opposing the NEW POOR LAW. Knowledge is power; and those who dislike the power of the people, dislike their knowledge. Religion, which has in all ages heen perverted into an instrument of oppression, is made one here. The different religious se c t s m i ght get over the difficulties in the way of appropriating the national funds to education, in three ways. First, by consent ing to introduce such instruction on religious sub jects as all can unite in.' Secondly, by agreeing to leave religious instruction to the teachers of the several sects at the ordinary times and places. Thirdly, by directing that those who are to be instructed should pass an hour or other Axed period in receiving religious instruction from their respec tive teachers before they enter the general school ; the teachers and the parents of the scholars being bound to provide arrange rnents for the same. But they will do none of them. They will do nothing but set up religion as a stalking-horse, the real object being to prevent the people from being instructed, or else to keep up a kick-and-jostle match to see who shall. take most money from other sects to spend upon his own. The men who do the last, do not trust with your throat in a dark lane. If they do not cut it, it is only for fear of being hanged. It is doubtful whether in this country, money will ever be got from the Government for free education. But there is other money than the Government's ; for where did the Government's come from ? The public must subscribe for itself, to set on foot an education to teach men what is neces sary for their civil callings. Religion is not made a source of squabble at the door of a cook's-shop ; why should it be at the door of a shop for food for the mind? All this points to the necessity of an education which is not sectarian ; or, in a single term, of SECULAR EDUCATION. One subject more. There has just . been a great effort made to forw ar d some o f t h ese o bj ec t s , and it has failed. It failed because it took the wrong way. Having taken the wrong, is any body now disposed to take the right, and try to advance our sauce by the legal and constitutional method of Parliamen tary exertion? We act at fearful odds ; but resolution and perseverance eat through a stone wall. There is a plan for the purpose stated, going on in different parts of the country. Of those who join, only two demands are made. One, that they disavow - violence. The other, that they will follow the Irish leader' s a d v i ce , to " take all' they can get, and then ask for more." _ Trust no man f or what he says he will do, but only for what he has done. If you think that in working on these and other subjects for fifteen years I have given you any security, send one or two from your respective trades to help us in the present contest. Our colour is white ;—the flag of the We shall have thirty candid a t es under it at thnennreePx r t esent e e r d ai election. Organize yourselves f or t h at time as fast you Len are able.

In 6,C00 Shares of 5/. each. Deposit 1/. per Share. The erection of the works of this Company having been com menced, the Directors adopt this mode of apprising Hotel and Tavern-keepers, Licensed Victuallers, and consumers of Flint glass in general, in London and its environs, that they have ap portioned a certain number of Shares exclusively to them ; and therefore, in order to secure the advantages to be derived , it is desirable that an early application be made. The holders of one or more Shares will have any quantity of glass supplied full 15 per cent. cheaper than it can be purchased from a retailer or hawker ; besides which, they will receive an annual dividend upon the amount of their capital invested of more than fifteen per cent. The manufacture of Flint Glass has hitherto been carried on in London only to a very limited extent, the supply being prin cipally from the North of England. This Company is formed not only to give consumers a cheaper article, but to encourage the production of Glass in the immediate neighbourhood of its consumption ; and as all the materials required for its manufac ture can be obtained at lower prices in the London Market, this (combined with the immense saving of package, freight, breakage, &c. &e. when brought from the North), will much more than compensate for the extra price of coals and labour; it is therefore evident that this most important article can be produced cheaper to consumers on the spot, than when brought from so great a distance. The site of ground selected for the Manufactory is most eli gibly situate, being immediately on the banks of the river Lea, at Bromley, near Bow, and has been obtained upon very advan tageous terms to the Company. In every department of this unde r t a ki ng , th e s trictest atten tion will be paid to economy, so that the shareholders may de pend upon receiving the full benefit of the capital invested. Applications for the remaining shares to be made at the bankers, Messrs. Ladbroke, Kingscote, and Co. ; Messrs. Wire and Child, solicitors, 9, St. Swithins-lane, or at the Com pany's Office, 117, Bishopsgate-street Within. By Order of the Board, J. HENDREY, Sec. pro tern. UNION FLINT-GLASS COMPANY CONTRACT FOR WORKS. TO BUILDERS. The Directors of this Company will meet at their Office, 117, Bishopsgate-street Within, on FRIDAY, 4th October, to receive Tenders from such persons as may be willing to erect a Glass Manufactory, and Cone, at Bromley, near Bow ; Founda tions for which being nearly completed. Plans and specifications can be seen at the Company's Office any day after the 9th instant, and further information obtained of Mr. Hendrey, Surveyor, 180, Blackfriars-road. The Directors do not bind themselves to accept the lowest Tender. T O THE BREWERS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. GENTLEMEN,—I hare addressed you occasionally for two years past, proffering to give INSTRUCTIONS how to PRE VENT ACIDITY in MALT LIQUORS ; and also to extract the whole strength of the Mash in a single wort of any required gravity. Hitherto I had no means of avoiding the imputation of of quackery, except by stating that I was the Author of the Treatise on Brewiug, published by the Society for the Diffu sion of Useful Knowledge ; but now that several of the Trade have completely followed out my SYSTEM, in summer as well as in winter, drawing 85 to 92 pounds per quarter of malt by Dring and Fage's Saccharometer (214 to 232 of Dicas) in a single mash, without returns, I am enabled to give respect ablelreferences:to its truth.

CHEAP and EXCELLENT LIGHT.— Now that Sperm Oil has reached so extravagant a price as to offer encouragement to every fraudulent dealer to adul terate it with inferior oils (to be had at one-fourth of its cost), COCOA-NUT OIL is offered to the public at only 4s. 6d. per Imperial Gallon. This Oil is unrivalled in its burning pro perties, and has the peculiar merit of emitting neither smoke nor smell. STEARINE WAX CANDLES, equal to pure wax, at 16d. per lb. Two of these Candles (short sixes)give as much light as three of the large tallow candles generally used in counting-houses, and as they consume near 40 per cent. slower than the latter, one is very nearly as cheap as the other.

The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest re commendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit from their use, render any lengthened comment u nnecessary ; they are not put forth as a cure for all diseases to wh eh mankind is liable, but for Bilious and Liver Complaints, witht heir many well-known attendants, Bilious and Sick Headache, Pain and Oppression after Meals, Giddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in Head and Ears, Drowsiness, 11 eartburn, Loss of Appetite, Wind, Spasms, &c. ; they are acknowledged to be vastly superior to anything ever before offered to the public, and for those of a full habit of body they will prove truly invaluable, while as a general Family Aperient for either sex, they cannot fail to ensure universal satisfaction. Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of their salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy action of the Liver, Bowels, and Kidneys will rapidly take place; and instead of listlessness, heat, hain, and jaundiced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed ealth, will be the result of taking this Medicine, according to the directions accompanying each box.

The LORD MAYOR—Certainly not. But you shall not be at the trouble. Our police shall take care that delin quents of the kind shall be made responsible, and I shall fine to the full extent for every infringement. Mr. Bunn—We have appointed a Committee for the purpose of having the law properly enforced, and we knew that we should have your Lordship's assistance. There is another matter of importance in which, if we are to judge from the conduct of the licensed victuallers in the city, they are completely ignorant. At least two who are in my neighbourhood act in the teeth of the law. My house is in the county, and I consider that I am bound to keep my house closed during church time in the afternoon as well as in the morning, according to the terms of my license, now I would wish that your Lordship would say for the information of the publicans of the city, whether they are not compellable to observe the same rule—whether the law which requires me to close at certain times has not the same binding effect upon them ? The LORD MAYOR—I am very glad that you have asked the question, as it gives me a seasonable opportunity of correcting a misapprehension which seems to have been very general in tare city, and which I should have sought in some other way an early opportunity of noticing. The publicans of the City are precisely under the same restrictions with respect to their houses as the publicans of the County. The mistake has evidently arisen from the irregularity of the afternoon or evening Church hours in the City. But the law is, that all public-houses shall be closed in the after noon as well as in the morning during Church service, the meaning of which is, that they shall be closed from three o'clock till five. This applies as much to the City as to the County, and if any cases of violation are brought before me, I shall certainly inflict the penalty. Mr. Bunn—l continue to shut my doors from three to five, as usual, under the old law, my Lord, and people who wish to enjoy themselves in a public-house during those hours, have only to step from the County into the City, where they can be supplied with any thing they please. It is quite absurd to suppose that such a privi lege ought to exist, for it must be most prejudicial to the publicans in the outskirts of the City. The Loan MAYOR asked the officers of the police, who were present, whether the Committee of Aldermen had given them any instructions on the subject ? Inspector Brake, who has the Eastern district of the City under his superintendence, said, that no orders had been issued with respect to the afternoon closing of the houses, and he knew that the impression upon the minds of the mass of the City licensed victuallers was, that they were under no obligation to close their doors after one o'clock on Sunday until the usual hour of closing at night. Mr. Hobler—They are acting in error, and if informed against for serving between three and five they will be liable to the penalty. The LORD MAYOR—Not a doubt of it. Their customers must be satisfied, hard and cruel as it may appear to be upon them, to have from one to three and from five up to bed-time to drink on Sundays.—( A laugh.) Inspector Brake said he believed the publicans at the West-end were acting under a misapprehension with re spect to the afternoon closing, for he had heard that se veral of the publicans in that quarter of the town did not close at all after one o'clock on Sunday last. Several persons in the justice-room said that such was the fact. The Loan MAYOR—They are all liable to the penalty. They seem to think that because the New Police Act made no mention of the obligation to close their houses in the afternoon they are at liberty to keep open from one until night; but the old law by which public-houses have been regulated is still in force, and is not at all affected in its operation as to afternoon Church service. Mr. Bunn expressed his thanks to the Lord Mayor for the very clear and candid manner in which his Lordship had stated his view of a matter of so much importance to the publicans of the metropolis, and said that the Magis trates of Worship-street had assured him that they would, in every case of violation, inflict the penalty. He added that a great many poor people who, if the houses had been opened in the usual way would have been dinnerless on Sunday last, were supplied with that meal, at least the public houses did not receive the price of their dinners. He ( Mr. Bunn) did not wish now to press the case of Mr. Barnard. The LORD MAYOR—The case of Mr. Barnard will stand over until he comes to town. Neither he nor any other publican shall injure the trade and violate the law with impunity. Mr. J. Beresford, one of the Assistant Water-Bailiff's, whose duty it is to protect the fishermen of the river Lea, appeared to answer the complaint of a fisherman named Armitage, who stated that Mr. Beresford seized his net which was hanging to dry at Bromley-bridge, on the river Lea, and detained it, although it was a lawful net, and a new one, and had not been used at all in fishing. The Assistant Water-Bailiff said that a more impudent charge never had been made, nor one more destitute of foundation, as he would prove. He then gave the following account of the seizure of the net : —Himself and son, as they went quietly along the river Lea, in their boat, heard, at half-past ten o'clock, a splashing in the water, which they at once suspected was occasioned by the plunging of oars to drive the fish into a net. They soon found that a large net, with unlawful meshes, was regularly staked down, and lay right across the river, so that the fish driven down the stream could not escape from it. Witness and his son saw a boat with men in it ; one of them, witness believed to be the complainant Armitage, and when they attempted to take the net the men in the boat threatened the most desperate violence with their boat-hooks, and made several attempts to strike them. One of the men thus occupied then got into the water, pulled up the net, which contained a large quan tity of roach and dace, and then getting into the boat, rowed off with his companions. Witness and his son subsequently went up the river Lea to Bromley-bridge, and found there the identical net which corresponded with the lines which the fishermen had left behind them. It was hanging up to dry, and they seized it. The Assistant Water-Bailin son confirmed his father's statement, and added that he (witness) took hold of the net while it was in the water, and that Armitage, who was the person who leaped into the water to pick up the net, threatened to knock his brains out, and cut his thumb with a knife to the very bone. Witness secured the lines, from which Armitage and his comrades cut away the net in their hurry, and it exactly corresponded with the net which they seized at Bromley-bridge, and which was without lines at the time they made the seizure. Armitage declared that he was not in the boat, described by the Assistant Water-Bailiff, and that he knew nothing of the circumstance which had been mentioned, nor of the net which had been cut away. He also stated that he had two persons to prove that he was at Woolwich between nine and ten o'clock on the night in question. Two men, of very doubtful appearance, stepped forward rather reluctantly, and said that they had been assisting in loading a sand barge at Woolwich at half-past nine on the night specified, when Armitage got on board to get a light. The Assistant Water-Bailiff's son said he could bring forward evidence to prove that the two sand boys had sworn falsely. The Loan MAYOR—If you do, I \ shall have them pro secuted for perjury. The two witnesses looked exceed ingly dissatisfied. The Loan MAYOR (to Armitage)—But why have you this net in use ? You know it is an unlawful net. Armitage—lt is for salt-water fishing! keep it my Lor d. The LORD MAYOR—Then why go up the Lea to I ook for salt-water fishing ? Armitage—Oh, I go up the Lea to sell the fish I catch in the salt water. The Assistant Water-Bailiff—He goes up the Lea, my Lord, to catch all the fish he can, and you may judge of the mischief he and others like him do, when I assure your Lordship that the fish go up in surprising shoals to breed, and they are frightened down the stream by the river poachers. The LORD MAYOR—I know that the Lea is a sort of preserve for the breed of fish, and I desire that the most close attention be paid to that place by the Water-Bailiffs. I shall appoint more if more should be required, fer I ant determined to prevent a continuance of the practice hitherto followed of destroying the young fish which would in due time sup ply so many poor families of fishermen the means of living comfortably. I condemn this net, and I shall hear wit nesses as to the assault, and other charges on a future oc casion. Mr. Beresford said the poachers were very angry now at his vigilance, and had threatened they would have his life. The LORD MAYOR would protect him, and immediately ordered summonses to he issued against the parties using the threats.

AN UNFAIR ATTACK.—Among Mr. Whit field's frequent hearers at the Tabernacle was Shute; the comedian, then in the height of his reputation as th e re presentative of Ramble. On one occasion he was seated in the pew exactly opposite the pulpit, and while Mr. Whitfield, in his energetic address, was inviting sinners to the Saviour, he fixed his eyes on Shuter, saying,—" And thou poor Ramble, who host long rambled from him, come thou also. 0, end thy ramblings by coming to Jesus." Shuter was exceedingly struck. and afterwards coming to Mr. Whitfield, said, " I thought I should have fainted— how could you serve me so ?"—Countess of Huntingdon's Life and Times, Vol. 11. REWARDS TO THE POLICE.—At the last Old Bailey Sessions a fellow named Long was sentenced to fifteen years' transportation for cutting and maiming police constable Jennings, 59 M division, who went to the rescue of a female whom Long was attempting to strangle. The wounds of Jennings, although extensive, proved fortunately to be only flesh wounds. On Tuesday he had orders to attend Scotland-yaral, when he was informed by the Com missioners that the whole of the case relative to his con duct with the convict Long had been laid before Lord John Russell, and that his Lordship bad ordered him to have 101. for his exertions in defending the female from Long's murderous attacks, as well for the wounds which he had received on the occasion. PRICE sd. THE FALLING STARS AND AU- RORA BOREALIS. Between the hours of ten on Tuesday night and three on Wednesday morning, in the heavens were observed one of the most magnificent specimens of that extraor dinary phenomena the falling stars and northern lights ever witnessed for many years past. The first indication of this singular phenomenon was about ten minutes be fore ten, when a light crimson, apparently vapour, rose from the northern portion of the hemisphere, and gradually extended to the centre of the heavens, and by ten o'clock, or a quarter past, the whole, from east to west, was one vast sheet of light. It had a most alarming appearance, and was exactly like that occasioned by a terrific fire. The light va ried considerably, at one time it seemed to fall, and directly after rose with intense brightness. There were to be seen mingled with it volumes of smoke which rolled over and over, and every beholder seemed convinced that it was " a tremendous conflagration." The consternation in the metropolis was very great, thousands of persons were running in the direction of the supposed awful catastrophe. The engines belong ing to the fire brigade stations in Baker -street, Farring don-street, Watling-street, Waterloo-road, and likewise those belonging to the West of England station, in fact every fire-engine in London, were horsed, and galloped after the supposed " scene of destruction," with more than ordinary energy, followed by carriage!, horsemen, and vast mobs. Some of the engines proceeded as far as Highgate and Holloway before the error was discovered. These appearances lasted for upwards of two hours, and towards morning the spectacle became one of more grandeur. At two o'clock this morning the phenomenon presented a most gorgeous scene, and one very difficult to describe. The whole of London was illuminated as light as noon day, and the atmosphere was remarkably clear. The southern hemis phere at the time mentioned although unclouded, was very dark, but the stars, which were innumerable, shone beautifully. The opposite side of the heavens presented a singular, but magnificent contrast, it was clear to the extreme, and the light was very vivid, there was a continual succession of meteors, which varied in splendour. They apparently formed in the centre of the heavens, and spread till they seemed to burst ; the effect was electrical, myriads of small stars shot out over the horizon, and darted with that swiftness towards the earth that the eye scarcely could follow the track ; they seemed to burst also, and threw a dark crimson vapour over the entire hemisphere. The colours were the most magnificent that ever were seen. At half past two o'clock the spectacle changed to darkness, which on dispersing, displayed a luminous rainbow in the zenith of the heavens, and round the ridge of dark ness that overhung the southern portion of the country. Soon afterwards columns of silvery light radiated from it, they increased wonderfully, intermingled amongst crimson vapour, which formed at the same time, and when at the full height, the spectacle was beyond all imagination. Stars were darting about in all directions, and continued until four o'clock, when all died away. During the time that they lasted a great many persons assembled on the bridges across the river Thames, where they had a commanding view of the heavens, and watched the progress of the phenomenon attentively.

LIVERPOOL, Farnrr. NISI PRIUS COURT. GISBORNE V. HART. (The defendant in this Case complains that the report published in The Sun of Tuesday is incorrect, and requests that we will give the following account of the transaction, which has appeared in the Liverpool Mail.) Mr. Thomas Gisborne, M. P. for Carlow, was the plain tiff, and Mr. Wm. Hart, an attorney at Manchester, the defendant in this action, which was brought to recover the value of a promissory note for 221. I Is. 9d., payable at two months. Mr. Creswell and Mr. Martin for the plaintiff, and Mr. Alexander for the defendant. Mr. MAR;IN hav:4Opened the pleadings, Mr. ALEXANDER stated the case for the defendant. His client, Mr. Hart, did not deny that he gave the promissory note, but says that he is relieved from liability by the fol lowing circumstances:—ln October, 1837, the plaintiff, Mr. Gisborne, had brought an action against a person named Harrison, an attorney, obtained judgment, and the execution was put into the hands of Newton, the Sheriff's officer at Manchester. Harrison was taken into custody, and was detained at the Sheriff's office. It being important that Mr. Harrison should be at liberty, Mr. Hart applied for his liberation ; and on having been given to understand that there was no other de tainer against Harrison, Mr. Hart gave the promissory note for the sum mentioned—the amount of debt and costs. Before handing the note to Brown, clerk to Mr. Chew, the attorney in the case, Mr. Hart demanded that his friend should be set at liberty. " No," said the clerk to the sheriff's officer, " I must first have the security, and then he shall be set at liberty." Mr. Hart replied, " Well, I think I may trust to your honour," and he immediately handed over the note to Brown. The assistant of New ton, whose name was Hockerhall, then said, " He can not go ; I have another writ against him." Mr. Hart insisted that if Mr. Harrison were not set at liberty, h h s e h a p d r o m m a i d sr r h y m n s e o l t f e r e s should poris bl b e e fo r r e tu the r ne s d o , e purposeseeing securing the liberation of Harrison. Brown refused to give up the note, on which a struggle ensued between him and Hart.

Mr. Newton, the sheriff's officer at Manchester, stated that he was employed, in October, 1167, by Mr. Chew, to take Mr. Harrison into custody at the suit of Mr. Thos. Gisborne. He arrested Harrison on the 7th Oct, 1837. Henry Hockenhall, clerk to Mr. Newton, stated that when asked by Hart, previ ous to t h e g i v i ng of the promis sory note, whether there was any other detainer against Harrison, he did not reply, because he did not think that it was his duty to do so. At that time he did not know whether or not there was any other detainer. When Mr. Hart desired that Harrison should be allowed to go outside of the door before the note was given, Brown refused, saying that the note must first be given up. Hart then gave up the note; Brown gave him the discharge ; and Hart and Harrison were preparing to walk out. Witness then told the latter that he must not go. He told him that, in consequence of directions he had received from Mr. Newton. Mr. Newton said that before Ilarrison was discharged, he would have the court search ed. Witness had Harrison in custody. Hart then said, " I must have back my note." Brown refused, and a struggle took place, which continued for more than an hour, and ended in Brown keeping possession of the note. Harrison was kept in till the next day, when there came another writ from Preston. Chew was the attorney in the second writ as well as in the first. _ _ _ To the JUDGE—I believe that at the time Mr. Hart gave the note, he would not have given it if he had thought that there was another detainer against Harrison. Mr. ALEXANDER having intimated that he would rest his case upon this evidence. Mr. CRESWELL wished to know from his Lordship whether he was of opinion that there was anything to go to the Jury His LORDSHIP decided that there was, Kll. C;;;;;LL, on behalf of his client, then went on to contend that there was nothing to show that the note had been obtained by Chew or his agent on a false or fraudulent representation that there was no other detainer against Ilarrison. If there had been any fraud it was most certainly not on the part of the plaintiff, Mr. Gisborne, who was a Member of Parliament for Carlow, and must therefore be a respectable man. Mr. Creswell went on to show that by law a sheriff's officer was bound to detain a person in cus tody when there were other detainers against him. If the Sheriff enlarged the person when such was the case, he himself became responsible for the debts of the liberated person. The Learned Judge having briefly summed up, The Jury consulted for a few moments, and found a ver dict for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION -110 USE.

Mr. Richard Bunn, the proprietor of the G eorge public house, Prescott-street, Gooarnan's-fields, st eppe d f orwar d and stated that he bad been instrumental to the complaint against Mr. Barnard, and he begged to be allowed to state upon what grounds. He had, in compliance with the new law, refused to serve any one of his customers alter the clock had struck twelve on the Saturday night, and upward of twenty of them told him that they would never trouble him again, but would go where they would be accommo: date.!. As it was only fair play that under such circum stances all public-houses should strictly obey the law, he determined to see where those he refused to serve could procure liquor, and he followed them, and saw them go into the Blue Boar,, where they got what they wanted. The Loan MAYO.R—You did very properly indeed. It is not to be endured that those who break the law should obtain a profit by the transgression, when these w h o o bey it are los ers . Depend upon it that I shall protect you to the best of my judgment and power. I shall p reven t per- THE MAYOR OF BOLTON. The allegations of Lord Lyndhurst and others against the Mayor of Bolton, regarding his conduct during the late disturbances, have, as might be anticipated, ended in smoke, as appears from the following letter, in reply to the memorial of the Town-Council of Bolton, pray ing for a full inquiry : " Whitehall, 29th August, 1839. " Sir,—l am directed by Lord John Russell to ac knowledge the receipt of the memorial of the Aldermen and Common-Councilmen of the borough of Bolton, relative to the disturbance at Bolton ; and I am to in form you that Lord John Russell does not think there are sufficient grounds for inquiry, no inhabitants of Bol ton having impeached the conduct of the Mayor ; and his Lordship cannot notice statements, upon such a sub ject, made in Parliament. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " S. M. PHILLIPS. " Alderman J Mangnall, Bolton." Although, from the nature of the case, the Mayor and Corporation woald doubtless have preferred an inquiry, yet there is every probability that full and fair explana tions will be given ; for we find the following letter in the Bolton Chronicle of Saturday last : "To THE EDITOR OF THE BOLTON CHRONICLE. " SlR—Lest my silence should be misconstrued into an acquiescence in the charge of delay on my part, in taking the military to the Little Bolton Town Hall, on Tuesday, the 13th inst., I request you will make it known, that I only delay making a statement in refer ence to the subject, until the promised investigation by Government shall take place, or until I feel sure that no such inquiry is likely to be made. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN FLETCHER. " Yale Bank, Aug. 30th, 1839." In fairness, therefore, and according to the pledge given in the above communication, the required expla nation must be made. The following, which we copy from the Bolton Free Press, of Aug. 24, is the charge referred to in the letter of Mr. Fletcher : " At length (says Lord Lyndhurst), some of the re spectable inhabitants of the town applied to a County Magistrate, a Mr. Fletcher, he believed, to interfere ; that gentleman did so, and with the assistance of the Boroughreeves and constables, restored entire tranquil lity to the town, which was not 'afterwards disturbed." Now, mark how a plain story shall put down a knave. Instead of the riot in Little Balton having lasted " three days," it did not last as many hours. Instead of Mr. Fletcher having restored peace and tranquillity to the town, it is well known, that after he had heard of the disturbance at the Town-ball, he went to the bar racks, and remained there till the Mayor, finding that no steps had been taken to quell the riot, went himself to order out the military. We may add, that, although Mr. Fletcher left the police-office for the barracks as early as half-past seven, he had not stirred from the mess-room at a quarter past eight ; and yet this is the individual whom Lord Lyndhurst holds up to the ad miration of the Peers, for having put an end to the dis turbance in an hour. Why, the fast was, that Mr. John Fletcher, and the Boroughreeve of Great Bolton ac companied the Mayor in clearing the streets at an early hour on Tuesday ; and it was only a short time after Mr. Fletcher had been in Little Bolton on that errand, that the riots begati. With quite as much truth might it be said, that his appearnee on the streets had caused the disturbances, as that it put a stop to them. When the military were ordered out at last to dis perse the mob at the Town-hall, which they did effec tu ally in a few minutes, they were not under the corn mand of Mr. Fletcher, but under the Mayor.—/Ifan chester Guardian. The departure of Mr. Aston, the newly ap pointed Minister to the Court of Madrid, in the room of Lord Clarendon, has been postponed in consequence of the demise of his brother, Lieut. Harvey Aston, of the Ist Life Guards, at Aston Hall, Cheshire. VIOLENT ASSAULT.—On Tuesday Haves and Hart, the men implicated in causing the death of John Leary, were examined before Sir Peter Laurie at the Town-Hall, Southwark, and committed for trial on the charge of assault. The affray was one of those so com mon among the lower orders of the Irish. DEATH OF LAFONT, THE VIOLINIST.— Lafont, one of the best violinists of France, and the com poser of several sweet romances, left Paris about a month ago with the well-known pianist and composer, Henry Herz, on a tour through the south of France. On the 23d of August the two artistes and a friend left Bagneres de Bigorre for Tarbes, all three travelling in the upper cabriolet of the diligence, to enjoy the views of the pic turesque country. Lafont was on the right. At about six in the evening the vehicle, which, in spite of the re monstrances of the passengers, was proceeding too rapidly, was upset to the right at a turning of the road. Lafont alone was severely hurt. When his friends succeeded in extricating him from the cabriolet all that he could utter was, " Je suis perdu!" In spite of every assistance he soon expired, having several ribs fractured, Not many minutes previous t* the accident, as if he dreaded what we to happen, he called to the postillion to hold in his horses, which at length became ungovernable, and upset the coach. M. Herz, though severely bruised himself, p a id the e vermyedaitetear manion twohohiws amsobrreouugnhfotrdtuenciaatreedfrtiheantd,liafendwawshz. tinct, Herz resolved to wat ch the remains until they were reupparaalltionnighfotrwtilithe deposited in the grave.

The fu neral took p lac e on Sunday, being at tended tended by the clergy, the civil and military authorities of t i- e town, a detach ment of Hussars, and a great number of the inhabitants. Two corners of the pall we re held b „ from Bagneres t o pay this last to ' ken of res l- M. Labarre , the co mposer, and M. A r t oz the violiF who came to their unfortunate friend. The ceremonypoet closed with another serious acc id ent : the Hussars was' r'early pointing o ver the grave, inste a d o f pointing their carbi air, levelled them hori zonta ll y, and touched the n‘ , firing As in the four persons present with a few grains of pow faces of last offices being fi n i s h e d , M. Herz hastened t der' The and family of his deceased friend at Paris o the wid ow all the consolation i n hi s power. , to offer them M A NC HE STER—TtursuAv. The approaching election has not only formed a leading topic, but has produced no small quantity of speculation; the odds against Sir George being about 6 to 4. Touching the St. Leger, few will lay against the two cracks, nor, with the excepti o n o f C ommo dore, The Provost, etman Platoff, and the Lord Mayor, do we see any business doing of much momest—the first named has been laid against, since our figures of Friday, at 14 in ponies ; but that price would now be laid without fear, although it is said he will be a much better favourite anon. The Provost has been backed at 300 to 20, and a score or so put on the Lord Mayor, at 20 to 1. Notwithstanding that heavy sums were laid against Hetman Platoff, at 20 to 1, at the close of the week, there are gentlemen who would still lay that figure. The following will be found as near the prices as the bustle and excitement of canvassing, &e. will permit us to glean : LATEST BETTING AT MANCHESTER.
