The large room was crowded to excess—about 1,200 persons, we should think, being present; but that others may be able to judge as well as ourselves, we may state, that the size of the room is 76 feet long by 27 wide—being an area of 225 square yards. With the exception of a small space near the door, the room was densely crowded, and the heat most op. pressive. At the upper part of the room there were o,consi. derable number of women, members of the Female Radical Association. No. 14,471. LONDON, WEDNESDAY - EVENING, JANUARY 23, 1839. PRICE sd.

The description given by Mr. Stephens, the American traveller, of the great victory gained by the Poles over the Russians, near Warsaw, in 1831, will be read with painful interest at the present moment. Had the Governments of England and France done their duty, and assisted that gal lant and oppressed people in time, Russia would have been in a very different position now. One half the sums that the British Parliament will be called upon to votefor the increase of the army and navy, solely to watch the movements of Russia in Europe and India, would have sufficed in 1831 to establish the independence of Poland, and form the strongest barrier against the encroachments of that restless and am bitious Government. England would have been perfectly justified in acting such a part, for she has even protested against the partition of Poland, and the French people were bound by still stronger ties. They were bound by self-interest, by the mutual sympathy of men struggling for their freedom, by their desertion of the Poles under the de spotic sway of Bonaparte, and by strong promises that the " Heroes of July" would not rest till the independence of Poland was established. What but the hope of speedy re lief could make even the brave Poles fight against such fearful odds ? Nicholas persecutes them to the death, be cause he knows that the spirit which animated the fifty thousand that vanquished his two hundred thousand, is not dead but sleepeth. The entry of the remnant into Warsaw is justly described as " sublime and terrible.* • 15 19 n 12 6 II (i 8 The Carlisle Journal says, when Mr. O'Connor took his place upon the hustings, he was received with immense cheer ing.

The following resolution was adopted by the meeting, only one hand having been held up against it : " That this meeting has the greatest confidence in the Rev. J. R. Stephens, and that it feels the greatest disgust and indignation at the uncalled-for and unjust prosecution now pending against him ; and, as a proof of its sincerity, it now resolves itself into a Committee, for the purpose of support ing him; and that the following individuals form the active Committee, to receive subscriptions in aid of that gentleman."

" While his Excellency is disposed to make allowance for the excited feelings produced by the recent melancholy oc currence, he cannot but lament that a body of Magistrates, called together as such, and presided over by the Lieutenant of their county, should have so far forgotten the object of their meeting, as to convert it into a display of political feeling; and his Excellency believes that those who took a prominent part in the proceedings, will, when they return to the exercise of their cooler judgment, perceive that the intemperate course which they have pursued is ill-calculated to promote the pro fessed object of the meeting, or to lessen those social evils the existence of which they deplore. " Anxiously deprecating at such a moment the effects of any possible misconstruction which might arise in any quarter of the grounds of a more direct mark of censure, his Excel lency prefers taking no further notice of what is objectionable in these proceedings, and he will continue to direct every energy of the Executive to the discovery and punishment of the guilty in this case, and the prevention of similar atrocities, regardless of the impediments which may be thrown in his way by the indiscreet conduct of those from whom, looking to their rank and station, he would have anticipated cn such an occa sion as the present, cordial and effective co-operation.--I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's obedient, humble servant.

THE CHARTER. A numerous meeting of the Marylebone Democratic Club, was held last sight, in Chesney's-rooms, Foley-street. Mr. CORDAY was called to the chair. After thanking them for the honour they had done him in placing him in the chair—he said, he hoped the proceedings of the meeting would be characterized by that good feel ing which was so necessary in the conduct of a public meeting. The principles of the Working Men's Charter had been often explained to them in that place, and, therefore, it was unnecessary for him to enlarge upon its merits. The Parliament of the Houses of Lords and Commons, would soon be assembled, and no doubt, their proceedings would be opened by the Queen in person. At the same time another Parliament, the People's Parliament, would be assembled, its proceedings would not be opened by her Majesty, and they did not wish it, there would be there what was of much more consequence—there would be there the spirit of the English people.—(Cheers.) The members of that:Parliament were only forty-nine, and he urged his fellow workmen to give them every support in the arduous task they had undertaken, or they would be put down. He thanked Government for the arrest of the best friend of the working classes, the Rev. J. R. Stephens—it had shown the people their own strength, and the manner in which they were to be used. The powers of the Goverment were already immense, and they were about to add to them by the nefarious introduction of a rural police—that force was intended to put down the people, and it would be their duty to oppose it to the last, and the blood that might be shed be on the heads of those who pressed such a tyranical measure. A cry had been got up for the repeal of the Corn laws, but it was an interes/ed one, and was artfully intended to lower wages, not to benefit the work ing men. As many were going to address them, he would say no more, but only exhort them to peace and quietness. Mr. IRELAND then arose to address his fellow.working:men and brother democrats. He held a resolution in his hand to which he hoped to has e their entire sanction, it was one pledging the meetin to that which they had before sanctioned—viz. to support by their aid and confidence those honest men who would soon meet as the People's Parliament. They wouldindeed be the Parliament of the people, and he felt quite certain would do more good in a week than the other in years. In order that they might be able to do that good it was necessary that they should have the support of the people, and he felt quite certain that would not be withdeld. Benjamin Franklin had said— " That he who by the plough would thrive, Himself must either hold or drive." So it was with the people, they must do their own work by their own representatives, but they must also lend them their utmost support. The resolution if passed pledged the meeting to support their own mem. hers to the General Convention individually, and the other members collectively, as circumstances should require or necessity demand. That necessity, he had no doubt, would arise ; and it was tire duty of the people to be prepared. After a lengthened eulogium upon the character of Maximilian Robespierre as portrayed by Bronterre O'Brien (which elicited much disapprobation), he concluded by proposing his re solution to the meeting. Mr. Wruerrue seconded the resolution. He thought the allusion to Robespierre by Mr. Ireland was rather out of place; the character he had said belonged to him had not been established. The character ge nerally recorded against him was that he was a weak Governor and bloody tyrant.—(Cries of " That's not true, and Englishmen know better.") In his opinion. to mix up the proceedings of the present meet ing with hls name showed a weakness. He was not a preacher up of moral force; what he said was, if the people had the means of putting down tyrants by force the sooner they did so the better.—(Cheers.) The rights of the people would never be granted except through fear of the people's resentment. The people ought to do all in their power to show what their opinions were, and if they acted with due courage and zeal they were sure of success.—(Cheers.) The agitation on the Corn_ laws increased his hopes for their success. The object of those who had brought it forward would not succeed if the people were prepared to do their duty.—(Cheers.) He felt convinced the people would not be deterred from the object they had in view, of obtaining Universal Suffrage, by any such trick as the agitation of the Corn. laws.—(Cheers.) The Whigs had the power, and, if they chose, let them repeal the Corn-laws; but let the people go on in their determi nation to have Universal Suffrage, and put an end to the vile Poor-law Bill, which would lead, under the sanction of the Whigs, to wholesale child murder.—(Cheers.) With respect to the work on that subject by Marcus, he (Mr. W.) had taken means of letting Lord John Russell know that such a work existed, and that little .cowardly Lord had held Mr. Stephens to bail for what he had said, while the writings of Marcus were ten thousand times worse than any thing he had ever said or done.—(Great cheering, and confusion.) Was it doubted that such a book existed ? If it was, he would produce it, and denounce Lord John Russell as the accomplice of the party who wrote it.— (Great cheering.) The work was one of the most atrocious he had ever heard, with the exception of the one written by Malthus himself.—(Cheers.) He was in hopes that the career of the present iniquitous Government was nearly brought to a close, and the reign of Lord John Russell was close upon its termination —(Cheers.) He hoped he should be excused for speaking warmly when he was ar. guing against a proposition that encouraged their wives to murder their children. Mr. Whittle concluded by seconding the resolution. The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, and declared it to be carried una nimously. Mr. RAYNER proposed the next resolution for the appointment of a Committee to collect funds for the support of the delegates for hlaryle bone. They had elected a working man to represent them, arid having done so they must support him, If the people were determined to have Universal Suffrage they must support their delegates. The people had a right to judge for themselves, and he trusted that they would not al. low any Whig trickster to cheat them out of their rights.—(Cheers.) Mr. COOMBE seconded the resolution. The time of the working classes ought to be employed in endeavouring to accomplish union among themselves, in order that they might be up in arms to protect them selves. Without a union upon principle they could never conquer.— (Cheers.) He was one of those who would rather go with 50 men who were allied for the accomplishment of an object than 500 shut:tiers.— (Great cheering.) If any individual had refused to sign the National Petition in the hopes of first obtaining a repeal of the Corn-laws, he trusted they would re-consider what they had done, and see the necessity of having Universal Suffrage first, and the repeal of the Corn-laws would follow as a matter of course.— (Cheers.) Though he was in hopes that peaceable means would prevail, yet sooner than the people should not succeed, if; he had the arms of Samson, he would fling the pillar of the Constitution, as it was called, at their enemies. — (Great cheering.) The resolution was carried unanimously, Mr. THOMAS proposed a resolution, deprecatory of the conduct of Ministers in arresting Mr. Stephens, amid much cheering. Mr. Lee seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. After it had been announced that it was the intention of the Northern Star to present their readers with a portrait if Mr. Stephens, and the Committee to: collect the rent had been a ppointed, the meet ing broke up by giving three cheers for Mr. Feargus O'Connor, Mr. B. O'Brien, and Mr. Whittle, the editor of the Champion. --- MAILS ON RAILWAYS.—In consequence of the opposition by railways, the contractors for the Leeds and London, Halifax and London, and Sheffield and Birmingham mails are said to have given notice to the Post-office of their intention to give up their contracts. - • CoBBETT.—On Monday night Miss Reynolds deli vered her second lecture at the Mechanics' Institution, and was hailed with no less a pprobation, on the subject of paper money, and Mr. Cobbett's predictions concerning it, than she experienced in her first lecture, which treated of the charac ter and writinr: of that distinrished The Mail, mortified and sympathising with its patrons, whom it sees smarting under the rebuke of the Executive, after giving way to one of its characteristic paroxysms marked by its customary amount of abusive twaddle, with an air of triumph exclaims—" Lord Normanby dare not—we repeat it emphatically and advisedly—he dare not dismiss Lord Oxman town from the Lieutenancy of his county ; and those who, a few days since, so unhesitatingly proclaimed the irmompati bility of both these noblemen retaining their situations, will now be obliged to fall back upon the insolence of the docu ment upon which we have been commenting, as a sufficient punishment to the parties complaining. " This is the third great triumph that has been obtained over the Executive by County Lieutenants, who have evinced moral courage sufficient to discharge their public duties, fearlessly, honestly, and independently—Lords Westmeath and Donoughmore were the two first—Lord Oxmantown is the third." Wherefore this la Pecan of the Mail? Lord Normanby has net deemed himself called upon to disturb Lord Oxmantown's possession of a Lieutenancy. This is the answer, this the sum and substance, of our Contemporary's excessive gratulation. THE NEW BISHOP.—The Hon. and Rev. Ludlow Tonson, D. D., is to be the new Bishop. THE SPECIAL COMMISSION.—On Saturday c‘ezing the Commission closed, and sentence was to have been passed on Monday upon the several prisoners found guilty. THE CONSERVATIVES OF ASHBY- DE-LA-ZOUCH. (From the Nottingham Journal.) The spirited Conservatives of Asbp.de-la- Zouch and its neighbourhood will have a splendid and numerous gathering on the 26th inst., when the chair will be occupied b; Sir F. Burdett. An enthusiastic meeting will no doubt be. , assembled on the occasion. The following letter has been received from the " Old English" Baionet ; and the day named for this " demonstration" of constitutional principle is (as above inti mated) Saturday, Jan. 26 : _ " St. James's-place, Jan. 3. " Sir,—l accept with pleasure the proposal of the Conser vative Committee to preside at their meeting at Ashby-de-la- Zouch, and will shortly name a day for the purpose, according to their obliging desire, and 'as soon as my engagements, will allow, for, considering the season, the sooner, I should think, the better. " I need hardly add, how gratifying to me is the resolution you have transmitted me from the Committee, and if doing my utmost to sustain the glorious fabric of this great Protes tant State, its civil and religious rights and liberties, can en title me to it, I venture to say that I am not in that respect unworthy of it. " I have only to add, that the spirit of this country, though a little separated and distracted, is essentially English, and will finally get united : and, perhaps, we may all at length find out that our forefathers merit all our gratitude and re spect, and that the more we have departed from old Consti tutional practices and principles, the more we have been led into error, and the sooner we correct it by a recurrence to them the better. " I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, " F. BURDETT. " Mr. J. Eames, Ashby-de-la-Zouch." GRAND BALL AT THE LONDON TAVERN. (From the Morning Advertiser.) Yesterday evening the annual ball in aid of the building fund of the splendid School-house of the Incorporated Society of Licensed Victuallers, in Kennington-lane, took place at the London Tavern, and we feel great satisfaction in having to state, that it was more numerously attended than upon any former occasion. The necessary arrangements had been ma. turely considered before they were agreed on, but in order to render it certain that their intentions were carried into effect, the Governors, Trustees, and Committee, assembled at the Tavern early in the evening, and made every preparation for the comfort of the company that could be devised. The com pany began to arrive about eight o'clock, and before eleven amounted to upwards of seven hundred. It was truly gratify ing to every benevolent mind that beheld the scene, to see such a large assemblage of youth and beauty as graced the ball-room full of youthful spirits, joy, and happiness, with the delightful feeling that their amusement was contributing to the noble charity, the Licensed Victuallers' School, solhighly dis tinguished amongst the benevolent institutions of the country. The Governor of the Society, Mr. Osborne, and the Go vernor elect, Mr. Reader ; the present, and most of the past Trustees and Committee, were present ; as were also a number of the rnost distinguished supporters of the Institution. In the course of the evening, Sir James Duke, and Mr. ex- Sheriff Johnson, with a number of their friends, visited the scene of gaiety, and were introduced to the ball-rooms, card room, &c., by the Governor , to whom they expressed the high gratification they e xperienced in s ee i ng suc h a numerous company, so harmoniously engaged in the sacred cause of charity. The two largest ro o ms in the Tavern were appro. he Cerem on i es , gave universal satisfaction ; as d id Mr .

A spacious card-room accommodated numerous parties who preferred the graver amusement to joining in the dance. About nine o'clock dancing commenced, the dances being led off by the Misses Osborne an d Messrs. Breslaw and Wallace. The dancing was continued with great spirit till twelve o'clock, when no fewer than seven banquctting-rooms were thrown open to the company, and presented a very agreeable variety in their entertainments. After partaking of the good things se amply provided for their refreshment, the greater portion of the company returned to the ball-rooms, where dancing was resumed with renewed spirit, and kept up till nearly the dawn of day, when the com pany departed, highly delighted with the evening's enjoyment, and, we have no doubt, determined to continue their aid to the good cause of charity. We cannot close this report without paying cur tribute of approbation to the excellent arrangements made by the Go vernor, Trustees, and Committee, for the comfort of so very numerous a company, which was felt by all present, and we are satisfied will conduce to the interests of the charity on future similar occasions.

Th e p r i nc ip a l evi dence was that of an approver, who has disclosed the n a mes of the whole gang, twelve in number, and warrants have been issued for their apprehension. " The battle of Grokow, the greatest in Europe since that of Waterloo, was fought on the 25th of February, 1831, and the place where I stood commanded a view of the whole ground. The Russian army was under the command of Diebitsch, and consisted of one hundred and forty-two thou sand infantry, forty thousand cavalry, and three hundred and twelve pieces of cannon. This enormous force was arranged in two lines of combatants, and a third of reserve. . Agair st this immense army the Poles opposed less than fifty thousand men and a hundred pieces of cannon, under the com mand of General Skrzynecki. At break of day, the whole force of the Russian right wing, with a terrible fire of fifty pieces of artillery and columns of infantry, charged the Polish left, with the determination of carrying it by a single and over powering effort. The Poles, with six thousand five hundred men and twelve pieces of artillery, not yielding a foot of ground, and knowing they could hope for no succour, resisted this attack for several hours, until the Russians slackened their fire. About ten o'clock, the plain was suddenly covered with the Russian forces issuing from the cover of the forest, seeming one undivided mass of troops. Two hundred pieces of cannon, posted on a single line, commenced a fire which made the earth tremble, and was snore terrible than the oldest officers, many of whom had fought at Marengo and Austerlitz, had ever beheld. The Russians now made an attack upon the right wing ; but foiled in this, as upon the left, Diebitsch di rected the strength of his army against the Forest of Elders, hoping to divide the Poles into two parts. One hundred and twenty pieces of cannon were brought to bear on this one point, and fifty battalions, incessantly pushed to the attack, kept up a scene of massacre unheard of in the annals of war. A Polish officer who was in the battle told me that the small streams which intersected the forest were so choked with dead that the infantry marched directly over their bodies. The heroic Poles, with twelve battalions, for four hours defended the forest against the tremendous attack. Nine times they were driven out, and nine times, by a series of admirably-exe cuted manoeuvres, they repulsed the Russians with immense loss. Batteries, now concentrated in one point, were in a mo ment hurried to another, and the artillery advanced to the charge like cavalry, sometimes within a hundred feet of the enemy's columns, and there opened a murderous fire of grape. At three o'clock the generals, many of whom were wounded, and most of whom had their horses shot under them, and fought on foot at the head of their divisions, resolved upon a retro grade movement, so as to draw the Russians on the open plain. Diebitsch, supposing it to be a flight, looked over to the city and exclaimed, ' Well, then, it appears that, after this bloody day, I shall take tea in the Belvidere Palace.' rhe Russian troops debouched from the forest. A cloud of Russian ca ♦alry, with several regiments of heavy cuirassiers at their head, advanced to the attack. Colonel Pientka, who had kept up an unremitting fire from his battery for five hours, seated with perfect sang froid upon a disabled piece of cannon, remained to give another effective fire, then left at full gallop a post which he had so long occupied under the terrible fire of the enemy's artillery. This rapid movement of his battery ani. mated the Russian forces. The cavalry advanced on a trot upon the line of a battery of rockets. A terrible discharge was poured into their ranks, and the horses, galled to mad ness by the flakes of fire, became wholly ungovernable, and broke away, spreading disorder in every direction ; the whole body swept helplessly along the fire of the Polish infantry, and in a few minutes was so completely annihilated that, of a regiment of cuirassiers who bore inscribed on their helmets the Invincibles,' not a man escaped. The wreck of the routed cavalry, pursued by the lancers, carried along in its flight the columns of infantry; a general retreat commenced, and the cry of Poland for ever' reached the walls of Warsaw to cheer the hearts of its anxious inhabitants. So terrible was the fire of that day, that in the Polish army there was not a single general or staff officer who had not his horse killed or wounded under him; two-thirds of the officers, and, perhaps, of the soldiers, had their clothes pierced with balls, and more than a tenth part of the army were wounded. Thirty thou sand Russians and ten thousand Poles were left on the field of battle ; rank upon rank lay prostrate on the earth, and the Forest of Elders was so strewed with bodies, that it received from that day the name of the Forest of the Dead.' The Czar heard with dismay, and all Europe with astonishment, that the crosser of the Balkan had been foiled under the walls of Warsaw. All day, my companion said, the cannonading was terrible. Crowds of citizens, of both sexes and all ages, were assembled on the spot where we stood, earnestly watch ing the progress of the battle, sharing in all its vicissitudes, in the highest state of excitement as the clearing up of the co lumns of smoke showed when the Russians or the Poles had fled ; and he described the entry of the remnant of the Polish army into Warsaw as sublime and terrible ; their hair and faces were begrimed with powder and blood; their armour shattered and broken, and all, even dying men, were singing patriotic songs; and when the fourth regiment, among whom was a brother of my companion, and who had particularly dis tinguished themselves in the battle, crossed the bridge, and filed slowly through the streets, their lances shivered against the cuirasses of the guards, their helmets broken, their faces black and spotted with blood, some erect, come tottering, and some barely able to sustain themselves in the saddle, above the stern chorus of patriotic songs rose the distracted cries of mothers, wives, daughters, and lovers, seeking among this broken band for forms dearer than life, many of whom were then sleeping on the battle-field." AGRICULTURAL PROFITS.--The following cal culation of the agriculturists' profits, and the rate of wages they can now well afford to pay their labourers, appears in the Norfolk Chronicle. The supposed quantity of land is 100 acres : LATE PRICES. 20 Acres Wheat, at Three quarters an acre, selling at 56s £l6B 0 0 20 Acres Barley, Four quarters an acre, at 28s ll2 0 0 280 0 0 Four able-bodied Labourers for the year at 9s per week 93 12 0 PRESENT PRICES. 20 Acres Wheat (the same produce) at 84s 252 0 0 20 Acres Barley (the same produce) at4os l6O 0 0 412 0 0 Increase of Income. 132 0 0 Increase of Wages to 10s. per week lO 8 0 Increase of Profit £l2l 12 0 The Kilkenny Journal states that at a bridal en tertainment near the city, the new-made wife was stabbed by a person, supposed to be under the influence of disappointed love. The villain made his escape, and as a labourer from Connaught is missing, it is supposed that be was guilty of the deed. The young woman has nearly recovered from the effects of the blow. An inquest was held last week, in Bartholomew-close, on the body of George Mackey, in the employ of Mr. Fig gins, type-founder. It appeared that on Friday night last, about a quarter past seven o'clock, deceased was at work in the shop when he threw a cinder to one of his companions to attract his attention. The man seeing him turn pale and stagger, ran to his assistance and caught him in his arms, when blood spirted from his nostrils, and he appeared motionless. Medical aid was called in, but life was ex tinct. Deceased had been coughing a short time before and had broken a blood-vessel. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God." Madame de Wolezagen, the friend of the celebrated Frederick Schiller, is said to be engaged at Jena in writing me moirs of her life, whi c h are not to be published before her death. She is now seventy years old. EDITORIAL PRESENT.—Country Editors, it ap pears, from the following paragraph, sometimes get odd presents:—" While making acknowledgments we will do now what should have been done before, thank some unknown friend for a bottle of very fine sherry, sent, we suppose, as a specimen of an importation by some wine-merchant, and ad dressed 'to the Editor, &c.' The name of the liberal donor was not left, so we are unable to inform our readers where such capital wine is to he got." On Thursday morning, about half-past seven o'clock, a boatman named Andrew Maughan, belonging to Kingston-upon-Thames, was in the act of stepping from a coble on to the gunwale of a west country barge lying off Battersea, when his foot slipping he fell into the water. An oar was thrown to him to keep himself up, which he grasped for a minute or two, and then let go, as if paralysed by the cold, immediately sunk, and was carried away by the tide. THE BRIGHTON ItAILWAY.—The engine and tender intended for use on the Shoreham branch of the London and Brighton Railway was brought into Brighton on Monday (yesterday) se'nnight. It was drawn by eighteen horses, three a-breast, being placed on a very stout-built truck, on cast-iron wheels of great breadth. When in Aldring toe drove-way, which leads from the main road to the engine house on the Shoreham branch, from the great weight of the engine, it stuck fast, and the conductors of it were unable to proceed until they had procured as many as thirty horses, which being attached to it, with considerable difficulty and after much loss of time, they succeeded in placing it safe in the engine-house without any accident.—Brighten Gazette. THE MURDER AT NEWCASTLE.--MT. Hoyle, the solicitor for the prosecution, and the police are still active in investigating this case. The proceedings are strictly pri vate, but we understand that some additional evidence has been obtained, which, if it be at all confirmed, will throw consider able light on this affair. Mary Walker is still in custody, and, as far as we can learn, there does not appear any disposition to discharge her. The prisoner is still gloomy and reserved, and occasionally sheds tears. One of our contemporaries states that an application had been made to the magistrates for the delivery of the money found at the prisoner's house, and in the safe of the Savings' Bank, but the result has not yet tran spired.— Tyne Mercury. " THE DEVIL AMONG THE TAILORS."—On Rough Monday, a master tailor at Winlaton, accompanied by five of his " order," went to secure a stack from the storm. Having attained the summit, they proceeded with their " mea sures" of safety, when the whole concern was lifted by the wind, and the poor tailors were whisked through the air into a neighbouring field.—Gateshead Observer. BREAD TAX.—Is Hull to be the last town in the United Kingdom to move against the Corn-laws? Manches- ter, Liverpool, and Leeds are in the field. Glasgow, the reader knows, set the example of a practical Anti-Corn-law operation, by originating a petition to hear counsel and evi dence at the b.:r of the House of Commons, and raising a subscription to support the expenses. Dundee, too, we now learn, interested in the German trade, in which Hull employs so many vessels, and so large a capital, is eager to forward the motion which Manchester and Glasgow have brought forward. —Hull Advertiser. MARCH OF INTELLECT.—WITCHCRAFT. — O❑ Friday a mid ile-aged woman applied to the Magistrates of Hatton-garden for a warrant against a fellow-servant, who, sho alleged, had attempted to poison her. Complainant said she was sure the accused was a witch, and had exercised her art to the injury of her (the applicant) when asleep, for she found her flesh cracking and almost dropping off, and could get no rust. As it appeared, however, that there had been no deal ings in poison on the part of the accused, except it were, as complainant expressed it, that " she carried poison in her looks," the warrant was refused. A TIIIEF PICKING lIIS OWN POCKET.—A laughable mistake was observed on Friday at Mr. Finlay's shop in Buchanan-street. A young pickpocket, looking out for an opportunity to exercise his profession among the picture fanciers who were gazing through the window, fixed his eyes on the end of a handkerchief (which he propably saw reflected in the window-glass) hanging from a jacket pocket in tempting proximity. The little scoundrel's fingers itched till be had made himself master of it, which be was observed to do irith the most scientific care, and thrusting it into his bosom, take to his heels, to the inexpressible amusement of the onlookers, who saw him pick his own pocket.— Glasgow Chronicle. . - The London morning mails have been twelve hours behind, every day this week. Instead of arriving at seven (evening), they have come with the following evening mail at six o'clock in the morning.—Paisley Advertiser. On Sunday morning, a man, named Phillips, who o of ol rumvastquantitiesdraught. half-past se ven o'clock in the evening he returned to his lodgings, at the house of Mr. Ross, No. 19, Wapping Wall, having previ ously been refused a further supply of liquor at a public house in the neighbourhood. He then appeared in a state of madness, called for more spirits, and with bitter oaths threatened every one who came near him. With great diffi culty Mr. Ross got him to bed, where he was placed with his head in an elevated position, cursing and blaspheming, and calling for rum. He soon fell asleep, and the landlord left him. At twelve o'clock, when Mr. Ross again went into the room, he found that the man's head had slipped off the pillow, and that he was apparently lifeless. A policeman was sent for, who called in Dr. Bird, of Shadwell, and that gentleman, on seeing the man, pronounced that the liquor had suffocated him, and that he had been dead for some hours. An inquest will be held on the body. Deceased, who was 52 years of age, and a native of Devonshire, was a remarkably tall, well formed man. He had formerly served in the navy. IMPORTANT APPEAL UNDER THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ACT.—At the Bristol Quarter Sessions just closed an important appeal against the conviction of the Ma gistrates was heard before Sir Charles Wetherell. In De cember last the appellant, Mr. John Bland, was convicted be fore the Magistrates upon the information of Thomas Pym Att wood, inspector of police, of having neglected and transgressed the conditions of his license, by knowingly and wilfully permitting and suffering persons of notoriously bad character to assemble and meet together in his house and premises. The case having been heard before the Magistrates, the defen dant was fined in the penalty of 40s. and costs, against which conviction Mr. Bland now appealed. Counsel having been heard on both sides, and two witnesses examined, the Recorder proceeded to give judgment. He was clearly of ()Onion that the assembling together of prostitutes at the house of a licensed victualler was an offence under the statute, and, as in excise cases, the word " suffering" clearly made the landlord liable for the acts of his servants. It had been urged that it was the duty of the police to turn such persons out, and not the duty of the landlord ; but he must dissent from this opinion alto. gether, for when the publican took out his licence he entered into a civil contract with the Magistrates to " keep good rule and order in his house," and of course should expel persons of notoriously bad character ; therefore, if the landlord was al lowed to shift the responsibility, the law would be rendered nugatory. He was, therefore, of opinion that, under all the circumstances the conviction of the Magistrates was legal, and. the appeal must be dismissed. On Monday evening a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Briggs, hair-dresser, Creed-lane, City, which did great damage to the building, and totally consumed the fur niture, &c. on the upper floors. Nothing but the contiguity of the premises to the principal stations of the fire brigade could have saved the adjoining houses from total destruction ; as it is, they are considerably injured. A woman who was ill in bed at the time when the fire broke out had a very narrow escape with her life. DOMESTIC TYRA NN v.—On Thursday Donald ➢l'Piiail, grocer and spirit-dealer, 2, Rutland-place, was sen tenced to thirty days' solitary confinement in the gaol, besides bring ordained to find caution to the amount of 201., failing which to be confined in gaol for other thirty days, for having, on Sunday last, unmercifully beaten and abused his brother, a small feeble boy about twelve years of age, who has been re siding in this city uhder his charge for the last two years. Dr. Black reported that one of the wounds on the boy's bead was an inch in length, and that his body bore the marks of several old contusions, the effects of former ill usage. His fingers, too, were swollen from the blows received in endeavouring to protect his head.
